T1 - Dislocation evolution and peak spall strengths in single crystal and nanocrystalline Cu. JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2016/02/04/ VL - 119 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The dynamic evolution and interaction of defects under the conditions of shock loading in single crystal and nanocrystalline Cu are investigated using a series of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations for an impact velocity of 1 km/s. Four stages of defect evolution are identified during shock simulations that result in deformation and failure. These stages correspond to: the initial shock compression (I); the propagation of the compression wave (II); the propagation and interaction of the reflected tensile wave (III); and the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of voids (IV). The effect of the microstructure on the evolution of defect densities during these four stages is characterized and quantified for single crystal Cu as well as nanocrystalline Cu with an average grain size of 6 nm, 10 nm, 13 nm, 16 nm, 20 nm, and 30 nm. The evolution of twin densities during the shock propagation is observed to vary with the grain size of the system and affects the spall strength of the metal. The grain sizes of 6 nm and 16 nm are observed to have peak values for the twin densities and a spall strength that is comparable with the single crystal Cu.

JO - PLoS Pathogens JF - PLoS Pathogens Y1 - 2017/02/24/ VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 21 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537366 AB - The canary pox vector and gp120 vaccine (ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E gp120) in the RV144 HIV-1 vaccine trial conferred an estimated 31% vaccine efficacy. Although the vaccine Env AE.A244 gp120 is antigenic for the unmutated common ancestor of V1V2 broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAbs), no plasma bnAb activity was induced. The RV305 (NCT01435135) HIV-1 clinical trial was a placebo-controlled randomized double-blinded study that assessed the safety and efficacy of vaccine boosting on B cell repertoires. HIV-1-uninfected RV144 vaccine recipients were reimmunized 6–8 years later with AIDSVAX B/E gp120 alone, ALVAC-HIV alone, or a combination of ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E gp120 in the RV305 trial. Env-specific post-RV144 and RV305 boost memory B cell VH mutation frequencies increased from 2.9% post-RV144 to 6.7% post-RV305. The vaccine was well tolerated with no adverse events reports. While post-boost plasma did not have bnAb activity, the vaccine boosts expanded a pool of envelope CD4 binding site (bs)-reactive memory B cells with long third heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDR3) whose germline precursors and affinity matured B cell clonal lineage members neutralized the HIV-1 CRF01 AE tier 2 (difficult to neutralize) primary isolate, CNE8. Electron microscopy of two of these antibodies bound with near-native gp140 trimers showed that they recognized an open conformation of the Env trimer. Although late boosting of RV144 vaccinees expanded a novel pool of neutralizing B cell clonal lineages, we hypothesize that boosts with stably closed trimers would be necessary to elicit antibodies with greater breadth of tier 2 HIV-1 strains.

JO - PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases JF - PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Y1 - 2017/02/21/ VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19352727 AB - Background: A majority infections caused by dengue virus (DENV) are asymptomatic, but a higher incidence of severe illness, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever, is associated with secondary infections, suggesting that pre-existing immunity plays a central role in dengue pathogenesis. Primary infections are typically associated with a largely serotype-specific antibody response, while secondary infections show a shift to a broadly cross-reactive antibody response. Methods/Principal findings: We hypothesized that the basis for the shift in serotype-specificity between primary and secondary infections can be found in a change in the antibody fine-specificity. To investigate the link between epitope- and serotype-specificity, we assembled the Dengue Virus Antibody Database, an online repository containing over 400 DENV-specific mAbs, each annotated with information on 1) its origin, including the immunogen, host immune history, and selection methods, 2) binding/neutralization data against all four DENV serotypes, and 3) epitope mapping at the domain or residue level to the DENV E protein. We combined epitope mapping and activity information to determine a residue-level index of epitope propensity and cross-reactivity and generated detailed composite epitope maps of primary and secondary antibody responses. We found differing patterns of epitope-specificity between primary and secondary infections, where secondary responses target a distinct subset of epitopes found in the primary response. We found that secondary infections were marked with an enhanced response to cross-reactive epitopes, such as the fusion-loop and E-dimer region, as well as increased cross-reactivity in what are typically more serotype-specific epitope regions, such as the domain I-II interface and domain III. Conclusions/Significance: Our results support the theory that pre-existing cross-reactive memory B cells form the basis for the secondary antibody response, resulting in a broadening of the response in terms of cross-reactivity, and a focusing of the response to a subset of epitopes, including some, such as the fusion-loop region, that are implicated in poor neutralization and antibody-dependent enhancement of infection.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2017/02/21/ VL - 12 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 13 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Concurrent ingestion of microfilariae (MF) and arboviruses by mosquitoes can enhance mosquito transmission of virus compared to when virus is ingested alone. Within hours of being ingested, MF penetrate the mosquito midgut and introduce virus into mosquito hemocoel, creating a disseminated viral infection much sooner than normal. How virus is actually introduced is not known. In this report, we present experimental evidence that suggests that certain alphaviruses may adhere or otherwise associate with sheathed Brugia malayi MF in the blood of a dually-infected host and that the virus is carried into the mosquito hemocoel by the MF during their penetration of the mosquito midgut. The mechanism of MF enhancement may be more complex than simple leakage of viremic blood into the hemocoel during MF penetration. The affinity of arboviruses to adhere to or otherwise associate with MF may depend on the specific combination of the virus and MF involved in a dual host infection. This in turn may determine the relative importance that MF enhancement has within an arbovirus transmission system.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2017/01/20/ VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: Brucellosis is an endemic disease in the country of Georgia. According to the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health of Georgia (NCDC), the average annual number of brucellosis cases was 161 during 2008–2012. However, the true number of cases is thought to be higher due to underreporting. The aim of this study was to provide current epidemiological and clinical information and evaluate diagnostic methods used for brucellosis in Georgia. Methodology: Adult patients were eligible for participation if they met the suspected or probable case definition for brucellosis. After consent participants were interviewed using a standardized questionnaire to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, epidemiology, history of present illness, and clinical manifestation. For the diagnosis of brucellosis, culture and serological tests were used. Results: A total of 81 participants were enrolled, of which 70 (86%) were from rural areas. Seventy-four percent of participants reported consuming unpasteurized milk products and 62% consuming undercooked meat products before symptom onset. Forty-one participants were positive by the Wright test and 33 (41%) were positive by blood culture. There was perfect agreement between the Huddelston and Wright tests (k = 1.0). Compared with blood culture (the diagnostic gold standard), ELISA IgG and total ELISA (IgG + IgM), the Wright test had fair (k = 0.12), fair (k = 0.24), and moderate (k = 0.52) agreement, respectively. Conclusions: Consumption of unpasteurized milk products and undercooked meat were among the most common risk factors in brucellosis cases. We found poor agreement between ELISA tests and culture results. This report also serves as an initial indication that the suspected case definition for brucellosis surveillance purposes needs revision. Further research is needed to characterize the epidemiology and evaluate the performance of the diagnostic methods for brucellosis in Georgia.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2017/01/17/ VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Individuals entering US Army service are generally young and healthy, but many are overweight, which may impact cardiometabolic risk despite physical activity and fitness requirements. This analysis examines the association between Soldiers’ BMI at accession and incident cardiometabolic risk factors (CRF) using longitudinal data from 731,014 Soldiers (17.0% female; age: 21.6 [3.9] years; BMI: 24.7 [3.8] kg/m2) who were assessed at Army accession, 2001–2011. CRF were defined as incident diagnoses through 2011, by ICD-9 code, of metabolic syndrome, glucose/insulin disorder, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or overweight/obesity (in those not initially overweight/obese). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) between BMI categories at accession and CRF. Initially underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2) were 2.4% of Soldiers, 53.5% were normal weight (18.5−<25), 34.2% were overweight (25−<30), and 10.0% were obese (≥30). Mean age range at CRF diagnosis was 24–29 years old, with generally low CRF incidence: 228 with metabolic syndrome, 3,880 with a glucose/insulin disorder, 26,373 with hypertension, and 13,404 with dyslipidemia. Of the Soldiers who were not overweight or obese at accession, 5,361 were eventually diagnosed as overweight or obese. Relative to Soldiers who were normal weight at accession, those who were overweight or obese, respectively, had significantly higher risk of developing each CRF after multivariable adjustment (HR [95% CI]: metabolic syndrome: 4.13 [2.87–5.94], 13.36 [9.00–19.83]; glucose/insulin disorder: 1.39 [1.30–1.50], 2.76 [2.52–3.04]; hypertension: 1.85 [1.80–1.90], 3.31 [3.20–3.42]; dyslipidemia: 1.81 [1.75–1.89], 3.19 [3.04–3.35]). Risk of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and overweight/obesity in initially underweight Soldiers was 40%, 31%, and 79% lower, respectively, versus normal-weight Soldiers.

Both insufficient negative selection of self-reactive T cells and impaired development of regulatory T cells preventing effector cell activation are believed to contribute to autoimmunity. Genetic predispositions center around the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II loci involved in antigen presentation, the key determinant of CD4+ T cell activation. Recent studies suggested that variants in the MHC region also exhibit significant non-additive interaction effects. However, collective interactions involving large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contributing to such effects are yet to be characterized. In addition, relatively little is known about the cell-type-specificity of such interactions in the context of cellular pathways. Here, we analyzed type 1 diabetes (T1D) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) genome-wide association data sets via large-scale, high-performance computations and inferred collective interaction effects involving MHC SNPs using the discrete discriminant analysis. Despite considerable differences in the details of SNP interactions in T1D and RA data, the enrichment pattern of interacting pairs in reference epigenomes was remarkably similar: statistically significant interactions were epigenetically active in cell-type combinations connecting B cells to T cells and intestinal epithelial cells, with both helper and regulatory T cells showing strong disease-associated interactions with B cells. Our results provide direct genetic evidence pointing to the important roles B cells play as antigen-presenting cells toward CD4+ T cells in the context of central and peripheral tolerance. In addition, they are consistent with recent experimental studies suggesting that the repertoire of B cell-specific self-antigens in the thymus are critical to the effective control of corresponding autoimmune activation in peripheral tissues.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2017/01/07/ VL - 121 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 SN - 00218979 AB - We report on the incidence of cellular breakdown in silicon wafers implanted with indium and pulsed laser melted at varying laser fluence. We predict from heat flow calculations that as laser fluence is decreased, (a) the melt depth decreases, (b) the solidification velocity increases, and (c) the solidification front should be more stable with respect to cellular breakdown (based on the binary alloy solidification theory), which should result in observed incidence of cellular breakdown at a relatively shallower depth below the surface. However, secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) data show that cellular breakdown at lower fluence is observed deeper, indicating that the interface became unstable earlier in its solidification. The SIMS data show significant In evaporation, with greater evaporation occurring as fluence increases. Calculations show that surface evaporation can reduce the bulk liquid concentration during solidification, reducing the degree of instability. The longer melt durations after irradiation at higher fluence give more time for evaporation, which may result in a relatively larger delay in the onset of breakdown compared to lower fluence by suppressing the bulk liquid concentration and suppressing the growth of unstable perturbation. Under certain conditions, this effect could dominate over the role of reducing the interface speed, which would tend to accelerate amplification of a perturbation, which leads to breakdown. Calculations qualitatively support this interpretation.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 182 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - e1551 EP - e1557 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Preventing child maltreatment fatalities is a critical goal of the U.S. society and the military services. Fatality review boards further this goal through the analysis of circumstances of child deaths, making recommendations for improvements in practices and policies, and promoting increased cooperation among the many systems that serve families. The purpose of this article is to review types of child maltreatment death, proposed classification models, risk and protective factors, and prevention strategies. Methods: This review is based on scientific and medical literature, national reports and surveys, and reports of fatality review boards. Findings: Children can be killed soon after birth or when older through a variety of circumstances, such as with the suicide of the perpetrator, or when the perpetrator kills the entire family. Death through child neglect may be the most difficult type of maltreatment death to identify as neglect can be a matter of opinion or societal convention. These deaths can occur as a result of infant abandonment, starvation, medical neglect, drowning, home fires, being left alone in cars, and firearms. Models of classification for child maltreatment deaths can permit definition and understanding of child fatalities by providing reference points that facilitate research and enhance clinical prediction. Two separate approaches have been proposed: the motives of the perpetrator and the circumstances of death of the child victim. The latter approach is broader and is founded on an ecological model focused on the nature and circumstances of death, child victim characteristics, perpetrator characteristics, family and environmental circumstances, and service provision and need. Many risk factors for maternal and paternal filicide have been found, but most often included are young maternal age, no prenatal care, low education level, mental health problems, family violence, and substance abuse. Many protective factors can be specified at the individual, family, and community level. Early interventions for children and families are facilitated by the increased awareness of service providers who understand the risk and protective factors for intentional and unintentional child death. Discussion/Impact/Recommendations: There is currently no roadmap for the prevention of child maltreatment death, but increased awareness and improved fatality review are essential to improving policies and practices. Prevention strategies include improving fatality review recommendations, using psychological autopsies, serious case reviews, and conducting research. We recommend a public health approach to prevention, which includes a high level of collaboration between agencies, particularly between the military and civilian. The adoption of a public health model can promote better prevention strategies at individual, family, community, and societal levels to address and improve practices, policies, and public attitudes and beliefs about child maltreatment. The process of making recommendations on the basis of fatality review is important in terms of whether they will be taken seriously. Recommendations that are too numerous, impractical, expensive, lack relevance, and are out of step with social norms are unlikely to be implemented. They can be helpful if they are limited, focused, lead to definitive action, and include ways of measuring compliance.

Olfactory adaptation, or desensitization to an odorant, may ameliorate performance degradation. Olfactory adaptation is traditionally measured by detection threshold and perceived intensity. Nontraditional measures including stress, confusion, and escape behavior may better reflect impacts on performance but face validity concerns. This article describes a pilot study undertaken to determine what measurements and techniques are best suited and logistically feasible to explore olfactory adaptation with respect to performance of a relevant task. Results of the pilot study confirmed validity of selecting an experimental adaption period a length of time between two previously published results. The study also validated traditional detection threshold and perceived intensity measures and data collection techniques. Electrodermal activity data, a nontraditional measure of stress, proved more promising than inconsistent heart rate or blood pressure. Nontraditional measures of confusion/bewilderment also produced inconsistent outcomes. Perceived workload data were collected for timing purposes; a more homogeneous population may produce more significant results. While preliminary results indicate adaptation may contribute to better complex task performance, follow-on research may proceed using traditional and newly validated measures with the number of subjects necessary to provide statistical confidence.

We endorse the novel idea of building a social network within troubled regions to assist in understanding the structure of women's communities and identifying key individuals and groups that will help rebuild and empower the lives of women. Our main argument is that we can better understand the complexity of a society with quantitative measures using a network analysis approach. Given the foundation of this paper, one can develop a model that will represent the connections between women in these communities. This model can then support work aiming to help women in zones of conict.

The approach offers several advantages in terms of nearly automatic grid generation and adaptation, ability to implement fast and efficient flow solvers that use structured data in both the strand and Cartesian grids, and the development of an efficient and highly scalable domain connectivity algorithm. An earlier work by the authors introduced a strand grid solver called mStrand, which will appear in future versions of the HPCMP CREATETM-AV Helios framework. This paper presents application of the mStrand/Helios strand grid framework for complex rotorcraft problems. The test cases presented are the UH-60A high-speed forward flight and high-altitude stall problems as well as the HART II blade- vortex interaction problem. The results show that the solution obtained using the strand grid framework is as good as that obtained using well-established structured and unstructured solution methodologies.

A building block approach was followed in simplifying the problem, separating the effects of the fuselage, effects of one rotor on the other, etc. Flow field velocities were acquired in a vertical plane at four aircraft azimuths of a small-scale tandem rotor system using the particle image velocimetry technique for radial distances up to four times the rotor diameter. Results were compared against full-scale CH-47D measurements. Excellent correlation was found between the small- and full-scale mean flow fields (after appropriate normalization using rotor and wall jet parameters). Following the scalability analysis, the effect of rotor height on the outwash was also studied. Close to the aircraft, an increase in rotor height above ground decreased the outwash velocity at all aircraft azimuths. However, farther away, the longitudinal and lateral axes of the aircraft showed increasing and decreasing outwash velocities, respectively, with increasing rotor height. Baseline rotor measurements were made out-of-ground effect to understand the nature of inflow distribution for realistic rotor configurations and their modified characteristics in the presence of the ground.

For silica, the progress with addressing these issues has been hampered by a lack of effective interaction models with explicit core-softening. In this work, we present an extension of a two-body soft-core interatomic force field for silica recently reported by us [S. Izvekov and B. M. Rice, J. Chem. Phys. 136(13), 134508 (2012)] to include three-body forces. Similar to two-body interaction terms, the three-body terms are derived using parameter-free force-matching of the interactions from ab initio MD simulations of liquid silica. The derived shape of the O-Si-O three-body potential term affirms the existence of repulsion softening between oxygen atoms at short separations. The new model shows a good performance in simulating liquid, amorphous, and crystalline silica. By comparing the soft-core model and a similar model with the soft-core suppressed, we demonstrate that the topology reorganization within the local tetrahedral network and the O-O core-softening are two competitive mechanisms responsible for anomalous thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors observed in liquid and amorphous silica. The studied anomalies include the temperature of density maximum locus and anomalous diffusivity in liquid silica, and irreversible densification of amorphous silica. We show that the O-O core-softened interaction enhances the observed anomalies primarily through two mechanisms: facilitating the defect driven structural rearrangements of the silica tetrahedral network and modifying the tetrahedral ordering induced interactions toward multiple characteristic scales, the feature which underlies the thermodynamic anomalies.

To better understand solvent effects such as hydrogen bonding, viscosity, and polarity, nanofluids were prepared by mixing Fe2O3 nanoparticles and various solvents (water, ethanol, 1-propanol, isopropanol, 2-propanone, hexane, cyclohexane, ethylene glycol, glycerol, etc.), and the dispersions and alignments of the Fe2O3 nanoparticles in these solvents with and without an applied magnetic field were investigated using an optical microscope. The microscope images indicated that inter-molecule hydrogen bonding of the solvents with one OH group (water, ethanol, 1-propanol, and isopropanol) could help to disperse and align the Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The intra-molecular hydrogen bonding causes a dramatic increase in viscosity for fluids with multiple OH groups, such as ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and glycerol (C3H8O3), and makes the Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersion and alignment difficult. Adding water to those fluids could lead to significantly reduced viscosity and make the particles disperse and align well. Polarity studies indicated that higher polarity yields better dispersion and alignment of the Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Thermal studies showed that thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing metal oxide particles with hydrogen bonding in solvents is enhanced compared to the theoretically calculated data. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water and ethylene glycol increases the thermal conductivity of nanofluids while decreasing the fluid viscosity. The results also well explain why 50 wt. % water/50 wt. % ethylene glycol is an excellent commercial coolant. Since high thermal conductivity enhancement with minimal viscosity increase is the primary goal of heat transfer nanofluids, this current research may open new doors to better understanding of the fundamental nature of nanofluids.

Drawing on research on the psychological effects of income, social learning theory, and the integrative trait-behavioral model of leadership effectiveness, we propose a negative, serially mediated association between higher parental income and lower future leader effectiveness via high levels of narcissism and, in turn, reduced engagement in behaviors that are viewed as central to the leadership role .We test our model using multisource data collected from active soldiers in the United States Army. Results reveal that parental income exerts indirect effects on leadership effectiveness criteria because (a) parental income is positively related to narcissism as an adult, (b) narcissism relates negatively to engaging in task-, relational-, and change-oriented leadership behaviors, and (c) reduced engagement in these behaviors relates to lower leader effectiveness. Our investigation advances theory by identifying pathways through which parental income relates to the effectiveness of leaders in organizations, and by illuminating the origins of a trait--narcissism--that predicts the behavior and effectiveness of leaders.

However, studies relating changes in attentional load and task experience on a finer scale to pupil size modulations are scarce. Here, we investigated how these changes affect pupil sizes. To manipulate attentional load, participants covertly tracked between zero and five objects among several randomly moving objects on a computer screen. To investigate effects of task experience, the experiment was conducted on three consecutive days. We found that pupil sizes increased with each increment in attentional load. Across days, we found systematic pupil size reductions. We compared the model fit for predicting pupil size modulations using attentional load, task experience, and task performance as predictors. We found that a model which included attentional load and task experience as predictors had the best model fit while adding performance as a predictor to this model reduced the overall model fit. Overall, results suggest that pupillometry provides a viable metric for precisely assessing attentional load and task experience in visuospatial tasks.

In contrast to conventional magnetic susceptibility studies that provided data on the bulk magnetization, the FMR spectra revealed the presence of three different types of magnetic Ni nanocubes in the sample. Specifically, three different ferromagnetic resonances were observed in the X-band spectra: a line 1 assigned to large nickel nanocubes, a line 2 corresponding to the nanocubes exhibiting saturated magnetization even at ca. 0.3 T field, and a high field line 3 (geff∼6.2) tentatively assigned to small nickel nanocubes likely having their hard magnetization axis aligned along or close to the direction of the external magnetic field. Based on the analysis of FMR data, the latter nanocubes possess an anisotropic internal magnetic field of at least ∼1.0 T in magnitude.

Previous work has shown that carbon nanotube composites form a protective network on the surface of a composite, which reduces heat input to the underlying polymer and slows mass loss. In this work, we have studied the interaction between the incident laser and the plume formed above the composite. We have correlated these interactions with features observed in the time-resolved mass loss data and confirmed them with observations using high-speed video of the laser irradiations. Beam interactions were studied as a function of laser irradiance and nanotube content. It is shown that beam-plume interactions occur for the carbon nanotube composites and that the interactions occur at shorter pulse durations for increased nanotube content and laser irradiance. When we eliminate beam-plume interaction through alteration of the sample orientation relative to the incident beam, we are able to elucidate the individual contributions of the carbon nanotube surface network and the plume to the observed decrease in mass loss after laser irradiation. We examine the plume content using microscopy and Raman spectroscopy and show that greater beam absorption occurs when there is a higher graphitic content in the plume.

In the present study, we examined distal (e.g., demographic & socioeconomic characteristics) to proximal factors (e.g., platoon relations, relationship quality) that were associated with loneliness in active duty soldiers in the U.S. Army. Results revealed a set of factors that were associated with loneliness in active duty soldiers, including age, frequency of contact with friends and family by phone, childhood trauma, self-reported overall emotional health, intra-platoon harassment, perceived stress, perceived platoon cohesion and support, organizational citizenship behavior, relationship satisfaction with friends, and relationship satisfaction with platoon members. The association between loneliness and both perceived stress and relationship satisfaction with platoon members reached a moderate effect size in the multivariate models. Although some of predictors overlap with those identified in studies of civilians, most were unique to soldiers. Implications are discussed for understanding loneliness in an organization like the military and for the early identification of and intervention with active duty soldiers who may be at risk for mental and behavioral problems.

JO - BMC Infectious Diseases JF - BMC Infectious Diseases Y1 - 2016/11/23/ VL - 16 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712334 AB - Background: West Nile fever virus is a zoonotic arboviral infection maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving mosquito vectors and birds. It is one the arboviruses whose geographical range is expanding because of climate and land use changes that enhance the densities of mosquitoes and promote mosquito-bird-human interactions. We carried out a survey to determine the reservoirs of WNV among wild birds in Tana River and Garissa counties, Kenya. Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 361 randomly trapped wild birds. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), all samples were screened for WNV using gene specific primer sets amplifying a portion of the E region of the genome encoding the envelope protein. Results: Sixty five (65) out of 361 birds screened tested positive for WNV on real-time PCR assay. Sequencing of the selected positive samples reveals that the isolated WNV were most closely related to strains isolated from China (2011). A regression analysis indicated that sampling location influenced the occurrence of WNV while species, age, weight and sex of the birds did not have any effect. Conclusions: This study provides baseline information on the existing circulation of WNV in this region among wild bird reservoirs that could spill over to the human population and points to the need for implementation of surveillance programs to map the distribution of the virus among reservoirs. Awareness creation about West Nile fever in this region is important to improve its detection and management.

Here we introduce a noninvasive method that uses diffusion MRI to characterize whole-brain white matter architecture as a single local connectome fingerprint that allows for a direct comparison between structural connectomes. In four independently acquired data sets with repeated scans (total N = 213), we show that the local connectome fingerprint is highly specific to an individual, allowing for an accurate self-versus-others classification that achieved 100% accuracy across 17,398 identification tests. The estimated classification error was approximately one thousand times smaller than fingerprints derived from diffusivity-based measures or region-to-region connectivity patterns for repeat scans acquired within 3 months. The local connectome fingerprint also revealed neuroplasticity within an individual reflected as a decreasing trend in self-similarity across time, whereas this change was not observed in the diffusivity measures. Moreover, the local connectome fingerprint can be used as a phenotypic marker, revealing 12.51% similarity between monozygotic twins, 5.14% between dizygotic twins, and 4.51% between none-twin siblings, relative to differences between unrelated subjects. This novel approach opens a new door for probing the influence of pathological, genetic, social, or environmental factors on the unique configuration of the human connectome.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/11/02/2016 Supplement VL - 181 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 65 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: Service members with traumatic amputations may be at an increased risk of elevated core body temperature, since their ability to dissipate heat may decrease with the reduction in body surface area (BSA) after injury. Elevated core temperature can impair physical performance during combat operations potentially putting the service members and their teams at risk. The purpose of this study was to compare core temperature between individuals with and without amputations during a prolonged endurance event. Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male military service members (10 with amputations, 10 without) participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March 26.2-mile event on March 27, 2011. Data collected include BSA, body mass index, body composition, body weight before and after the event, core temperature during the event, and postevent hydration status. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body weight was measured by digital scale. Core temperature was measured by ingestible sensor. Hydration was measured by urine specific gravity. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved this study and participants provided written informed consent. Results: Three participants’ data were not included in the analyses. No significant differences in core temperature were found between participants in both groups, and no correlation was found between core temperature and either BSA or hydration status. There was no significant difference in maximal core temperature between the groups ( p = 0.27) Nearly all participants (8 control, 6 amputation) reached 38.3°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat exhaustion. No subjects reached 40.0°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat stroke. Time spent above the 38.3°C threshold was not significantly different between groups, but varied widely by participant in relation to the duration of the event. Participants without amputations finished the event faster than participants with amputations (7.9 ± 1.4 vs. 9.6 ± 0.96, p < 0.01), possibly indicating that participants with amputations self-selected a slower pace to attenuate increased core temperature. Conclusion: Until conclusive evidence is accumulated, it is prudent for military leaders, trainers, and military service members to closely monitor this population during physical activity to prevent heat injuries.

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted utilizing prospective interviews with standard survey instruments. Primary outcome measures were the Stoma Quality of Life Scale and Veterans RAND 36 scores and subjective responses. Patients with colorectal trauma not requiring ostomy served as controls.Results: Of 177 available patients, 90 (50.8%) male veterans consented to participate (55 ostomy, 35 control). No significant differences were observed between ostomy and control groups for Injury Severity Score (25.6 ± 9.9 vs. 22.9 ± 11.8, p = 0.26) or mechanism of injury (blast: 55 vs. 52%, p = 0.75); nonostomates had fewer anorectal injuries (3.2 vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). Median follow-up was 6.7 years. Veterans RAND-36 Physical and Mental Component Scores were similar between groups. About 45.8% of ostomates were willing-to-trade a median of 10 years (interquartile range = 5-15) of their remaining life for gastrointestinal continuity. At last follow-up, 95.9% of respondents' combat-related ostomies were reversed with a median duration of 6 (range = 3-19) months diverted.Conclusions: Ostomy creation in a combat environment remains safe and does not have a quantifiable impact on long-term quality of life.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 181 IS - 11 M3 - journal article SP - e1637 EP - e1643 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Reorganization of the Army and critical assessment of Army Graduate Medical Education programs prompted the Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) Consultant to the Army Surgeon General to initiate a review of current Army OEM residency training. Available information indicated the Army OEM residency at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, was the first and longest operating Army OEM residency. Describing this residency was identified as the first step in the review, with the objectives of determining why the residency was started and sustained and its relevance to the needs of the Army.Methods: Records possibly related to the residency were reviewed, starting with 1954 since certification of physicians as Occupation Medicine specialists began in 1955. Interviews were conducted with selected physicians who had strong affiliations with the Army residency and the practice of Army OEM.Findings: The Army OEM residency began in 1960 and closed in 1996 with the transfer of Army OEM residency training to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD. Over 36 years, 47 uniformed residency graduates were identified; 44 were from the Army. Forty graduated between 1982 and 1996. The OEM residency was part of a dynamic cycle. Uniformed OEM leaders identified the knowledge and skills required of military OEM physicians and where these people should be stationed in the global Army. Rotations at military sites to acquire the needed knowledge and skills were integrated into the residency. Residency graduates were assigned to positions where they were needed. Having uniformed residents and preceptors facilitated the development of trust with military leaders and access to areas where OEM physician skills and knowledge could have a positive impact. Early reports indicated the residency was important in recruiting and retaining OEM physicians, with emphasis placed on supporting the Army industrial base. The late 1970s into the 1990s was a more dynamic period. There was heightened interest in environmental protection and restoration of military installations, and in the threats posed by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Additionally, President Reagan initiated a military buildup that brought new health risks to soldiers who would use and maintain modern equipment. Army OEM physicians were required to possess competencies in many areas, to include depots in the Army industrial base, occupational health for the soldier for exposures like carbon monoxide in armored vehicles, military unique exposures like those from chemical threat agents, and environmental medicine to assess health risks on contaminated U.S. military sites and from exposures of deployed forces. These offered interesting OEM training opportunities that challenged residents in the program and helped recruit new residents.Discussion: The strength of the first Army OEM residency was that it was part of a dynamic cycle that consisted of identifying and defining Army OEM needs, training physicians to meet those needs and assigning residency graduates to positions where they would have a positive impact. This paradigm can be used as the basis for contemporary assessments of the Army's need for uniformed OEM physicians and a uniformed OEM residency program.

The evidence is unclear on which management approaches are most effective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lumbar extensor high-intensity progressive resistance exercise (HIPRE) training versus control on improving lumbar extension muscular strength and core muscular endurance in soldiers.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with active duty U.S. Army Soldiers (n = 582) in combat medic training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Soldiers were randomized by platoon to receive the experimental intervention (lumbar extensor HIPRE training, n = 298) or control intervention (core stabilization exercise training, n = 284) at one set, one time per week, for 11 weeks. Lumbar extension muscular strength and core muscular endurance were assessed before and after the intervention period.Results: At 11-week follow-up, lumbar extension muscular strength was 9.7% greater (p = 0.001) for HIPRE compared with control. No improvements in core muscular endurance were observed for HIPRE or control.Conclusions: Lumbar extensor HIPRE training is effective to improve isometric lumbar extension muscular strength in U.S. Army Soldiers. Research is needed to explore the clinical relevance of these gains.

Some of the important health and fitness include physical activity and purposeful exercise, nutritional intake, sleep and rest behaviors, psychological outlook and mindfulness, and other physiologically based systemic challenges such as thermal exposure. These influences were considered in an integrated framework with insights contributed by each of five participating NATO member countries using representative research to highlight relevant interrelationships. Key conclusions are that (1) understanding the neurobiological bases and consequences of personal health behaviors is a priority for soldier performance research, and this also involves long-term brain health consequences to veterans and (2) health and fitness habits have been underappreciated as reliably effective performance enhancers and these should be preferred targets in the development of scientifically based recommendations for soldier brain health and performance.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 181 IS - 11 M3 - journal article SP - e1476 EP - e1483 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to investigate physical, occupational, and psychosocial risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) in deployed female soldiers. Before deployment, participants completed performance testing and surveys and after deployment an additional survey detailing occupational demands and MSI. Data analyzed found 57/160 (36%) suffered 78 MSI. In unadjusted analyses, these factors increased the relative risk (RR, 95% confidence interval) of injury: wearing an average load >10% body weight (BW) (RR = 2.00, 1.31-4.57), wearing an average load >1 hour (RR = 2.44, 1.30-4.57), heaviest load worn >15% BW (RR = 5.83, 1.51-22.50), wearing a backpack (RR = 1.82, 1.23-2.80), wearing body armor >1 hour (RR = 1.62, 1.002-2.62), lifting objects weighing above 22.68 kg (RR = 1.96, 1.08-3.57), lifting objects one to two times (RR = 1.73, 1.002-2.97), carrying objects >7.62 m (RR = 2.01, 1.19-3.42), and Y Balance composite score <95.23 (RR = 1.71, 1.13-2.60). The best logistic regression model predicting MSI was average load as % BW (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04, 1.01-1.07), heaviest load as % BW (OR = 1.03, 1.01-1.05), average repetitions lifting objects (OR = 1.07, 1.01-1.14), and sit-ups (OR = 0.93, 0.93-0.99). Results indicate that risk of MSI in deployed female soldiers increased with heavier equipment worn and more repetitious lifting, although more performing more sit-ups on the fitness test before deployment reduced the risk.

This article summarizes our findings, suggests applications to risk assessment, and identifies strategic research directions. OBJECTIVE: Our specific objectives were to test whether advanced biological data and methods could better inform our understanding of public health risks posed by environmental exposures. METHODS: New data and methods were applied and evaluated for use in hazard identification and dose -- response assessment. Biomarkers of exposure and effect, and risk characterization were also examined. Consideration was given to various decision contexts with increasing regulatory and public health impacts. Data types included transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics. Methods included molecular epidemiology and clinical studies, bioinformatic knowledge mining, pathway and network analyses, short-duration in vivo and in vitro bioassays, and quantitative structure activity relationship modeling. DISCUSSION: NexGen has advanced our ability to apply new science by more rapidly identifying chemicals and exposures of potential concern, helping characterize mechanisms of action that influence conclusions about causality, exposure -- response relationships, susceptibility and cumulative risk, and by elucidating new biomarkers of exposure and effects. Additionally, NexGen has fostered extensive discussion among risk scientists and managers and improved confidence in interpreting and applying new data streams. CONCLUSIONS: While considerable uncertainties remain, thoughtful application of new knowledge to risk assessment appears reasonable for augmenting major scope assessments, forming the basis for or augmenting limited scope assessments, and for prioritization and screening of very data limited chemicals.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2016/10/28/ VL - 120 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 165105-1 EP - 165105-14 SN - 00218979 AB - A homogenization model is developed that describes the effective elastic constants of polycrystalline materials with constituent crystallites of general anisotropy (triclinic symmetry). The model is solved through an iterative technique where successive iterations improve the estimates of the polycrystal's elastic constants. Convergence of the solution provides the self-consistent elastic constants, which are the polycrystal's elastic constants resulting from continuity between local and far-field stress and strains. Iterative solutions prior to convergence are the bounds on the elastic constants including the Voigt-Reuss and Hashin-Shtrikman bounds. The second part of the article establishes a formal link between the present model and single-crystal elastic anisotropy. An analysis from a dataset containing 2176 inorganic crystalline compounds, spanning all crystallographic symmetries, is provided. The role of elastic anisotropy and related properties such as crystalline structure and elastic stability are discussed as it relates to the model.

JO - BioMed Research International JF - BioMed Research International Y1 - 2016/10/25/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - Hindawi Publishing Corporation SN - 23146133 AB - Acute mountain sickness (AMS), characterized by headache, nausea, fatigue, and dizziness when unacclimatized individuals rapidly ascend to high altitude, is exacerbated by exercise and can be disabling. Although AMS is observed in both normobaric (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH), recent evidence suggests that NH and HH produce different physiological responses. We evaluated whether AMS symptoms were different in NH and HH during the initial stages of exposure and if the assessment tool mattered. Seventy-two 8 h exposures to normobaric normoxia (NN), NH, or HH were experienced by 36 subjects. The Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQ) and Lake Louise Self-report (LLS) were administered, resulting in a total of 360 assessments, with each subject answering the questionnaire 5 times during each of their 2 exposure days. Classification tree analysis indicated that symptoms contributing most to AMS were different in NH (namely, feeling sick and shortness of breath) compared to HH (characterized most by feeling faint, appetite loss, light headedness, and dim vision). However, the differences were not detected using the LLS. These results suggest that during the initial hours of exposure (1) AMS in HH may be a qualitatively different experience than in NH and (2) NH and HH may not be interchangeable environments.

BAS00127538 (1-Methyl-2,4-diphenyl-6-((1E,3E)-3-(1,3,3-trimethylindolin-2-ylidene)prop-1-en-1-yl)pyryl-1-ium) tetrafluoroborate is the first small molecule Lipid II inhibitor and is structurally distinct from natural agents that bind Lipid II, such as vancomycin. Here, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of 50 new analogs of BAS00127538 designed to explore the structure-activity relationships of the scaffold. The results of this study indicate an activity map of the scaffold, identifying regions that are critical to cytotoxicity, Lipid II binding and range of anti-bacterial action. One compound, 6jc48-1, showed significantly enhanced drug-like properties compared to BAS00127538. 6jc48-1 has reduced cytotoxicity, while retaining specific Lipid II binding and activity against Enterococcus spp. in vitro and in vivo. Further, this compound showed a markedly improved pharmacokinetic profile with a half-life of over 13 hours upon intravenous and oral administration and was stable in plasma. These results suggest that scaffolds like that of 6jc48-1 can be developed into small molecule antibiotic drugs that target Lipid II.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2016/10/14/ VL - 145 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 00219606 AB - We develop a "charged" dissipative particle dynamics (cDPD) model for simulating mesoscopic electrokinetic phenomena governed by the stochastic Poisson-Nernst-Planck and the Navier-Stokes equations. Specifically, the transport equations of ionic species are incorporated into the DPD framework by introducing extra degrees of freedom and corresponding evolution equations associated with each DPD particle. Diffusion of ionic species driven by the ionic concentration gradient, electrostatic potential gradient, and thermal fluctuations is captured accurately via pairwise fluxes between DPD particles. The electrostatic potential is obtained by solving the Poisson equation on the moving DPD particles iteratively at each time step. For charged surfaces in bounded systems, an effective boundary treatment methodology is developed for imposing both the correct hydrodynamic and electrokinetics boundary conditions in cDPD simulations. To validate the proposed cDPD model and the corresponding boundary conditions, we first study the electrostatic structure in the vicinity of a charged solid surface, i.e., we perform cDPD simulations of the electrostatic double layer and show that our results are in good agreement with the well-known mean-field theoretical solutions. We also simulate the electrostatic structure and capacity densities between charged parallel plates in salt solutions with different salt concentrations. Moreover, we employ the proposed methodology to study the electro-osmotic and electro-osmotic/pressure-driven flows in a micro-channel. In the latter case, we simulate the dilute poly-electrolyte solution drifting by electro-osmotic flow in a micro-channel, hence demonstrating the flexibility and capability of this method in studying complex fluids with electrostatic interactions at the micro- and nano-scales.

We currently lack detailed knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanisms and biological networks associated with AKI. In this study, we carried out gene co-expression analyses using DrugMatrix-a large toxicogenomics database with gene expression data from rats exposed to diverse chemicals-and identified gene modules associated with kidney injury to probe the molecular-level details of this disease. Results: We generated a comprehensive set of gene co-expression modules by using the Iterative Signature Algorithm and found distinct clusters of modules that shared genes and were associated with similar chemical exposure conditions. We identified two module clusters that showed specificity for kidney injury in that they 1) were activated by chemical exposures causing kidney injury, 2) were not activated by other chemical exposures, and 3) contained known AKI-relevant genes such as Havcr1, Clu, and Tff3. We used the genes in these AKI-relevant module clusters to develop a signature of 30 genes that could assess the potential of a chemical to cause kidney injury well before injury actually occurs. We integrated AKI-relevant module cluster genes with protein-protein interaction networks and identified the involvement of immunoproteasomes in AKI. To identify biological networks and processes linked to Havcr1, we determined genes within the modules that frequently co-express with Havcr1, including Cd44, Plk2, Mdm2, Hnmt, Macrod1, and Gtpbp4. We verified this procedure by showing that randomized data did not identify Havcr1 co-expression genes and that excluding up to 10 % of the data caused only minimal degradation of the gene set. Finally, by using an external dataset from a rat kidney ischemic study, we showed that the frequently co-expressed genes of Havcr1 behaved similarly in a model of non-chemically induced kidney injury. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that co-expression modules and co-expressed genes contain rich information for generating novel biomarker hypotheses and constructing mechanism-based molecular networks associated with kidney injury.

The MRF drove enemy forces from key population centers and decimated the Viet Cong main force units that stood and fought them. But in August 1969, General Creighton Abrams, Westmoreland's successor, disbanded the MRF. Despite the MRF's impressive battle history, Army and Navy leaders never fully embraced the creation, development, or operational deployment of one of the few truly joint-service units of the Vietnam War.

However, in the more recent conflicts over the past two decades, their role in health care delivery as a component of medical stability operations has been largely undefined. The purpose of this study was to explore the types of missions supported by U.S. military dietitians and characterize any unique competencies critical to their success during these missions using an online questionnaire. Sixty-five military dietitians responded to an online questionnaire and 49 (75%) shared their deployment experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations for future training based on 57 deployments from 1975 to 2014. Results indicated that during these deployments nutrition- and dietetics-related competencies were capitalized along with staff positions in support of combat and humanitarian operations. The majority (n = 24; 51%) valued mentorship as a useful resource before deployments followed by field experience (45%) and Web-based training (43%). The authors propose standardized formal training for military dietitians aimed at increasing strategic level awareness of partnerships and collaborations between U.S. Government and interagency organizations; these associations are vital for sustained synchronization of global health efforts.

Increasing prescription drug misuse and poisonings translate into greater utilization of medical resources. Our objective was to describe the incidences of overdoses and their associated events and outcomes following emergency department consult.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on cases evaluated in 2 military hospital emergency departments over 3 years. Subjects were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision codes 960-970. Variables collected included demographics, military service, method of arrival, vital signs, clinical complications, and hospital admission, if overdose was documented as intentional or unintentional and drug ingested.Results: Over 3 years, 342 overdoses were treated. Mean age was 35 ± 19 and gender was 53% female. 47% were active duty and 32% were dependents. 21% of overdoses involved benzodiazepines and 20% opioids. Active duty and benzodiazepine overdoses were more likely to arrive by ambulance (p = 0.0006, p = 0.03), were more likely to have overdosed intentionally (p = 0.02, p = 0.009), and were more likely to be admitted (p = 0.04, p = 0.007). Active duty had a longer length of stay (p = 0.02).Conclusion: Overdoses involving the active duty population and benzodiazepines consume greater military health care resources than other overdoses.

We conducted a secondary analysis of data extracted from two studies on the basis of retrospective reviews of behavioral health records of soldiers deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Of 162 clinical samples, 135 (83%) reported at least one type of childhood adversity. ACE scores ranged from 0 to 9 with a mean of 3 (standard deviation = 2.4) and mode of 0. A total of 65 (40%) experienced four or more ACEs. Parental divorce or separation was the most frequently reported childhood experience and was associated with witnessing domestic violence, having a member of the household abuse substances, and being physically and psychologically abused as a child. A sizeable proportion lived with a household member who had been in prison. Soldiers with an extensive history of ACEs may benefit from additional mentoring from frontline leaders and prevention measures instituted by unit behavioral health personnel.

Understanding baseline measures for normal is an important first step.Objectives: Determine differences in physical performance assessments and describe normative values for these tests based on military unit type.Methods: Assessment of power, balance, mobility, motor control, and performance on the Army Physical Fitness Test were assessed in a cohort of 1,466 soldiers. Analysis of variance was performed to compare the results based on military unit type (Rangers, Combat, Combat Service, and Combat Service Support) and analysis of covariance was performed to determine the influence of age and gender.Results: Rangers performed the best on all performance and fitness measures (p < 0.05). Combat soldiers performed better than Combat Service and Service Support soldiers on several physical performance tests and the Army Physical Fitness Test (p < 0.05). Performance in Combat Service and Service Support soldiers was equivalent on most measures (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Functional performance and level of fitness varied significantly by military unit type. Understanding these differences will provide a foundation for future injury prediction and prevention strategies.

Validation cases included a wide variety of key rotor configurations, covering model scale and full scale, twist distributions (zero twist, moderate linear twist, nonlinear twist, and high nonlinear twist), tip shapes (rectangular, swept, swept-tapered, tapered, and anhedral), and flight conditions (hover to high-speed forward flight). A free-vortex wake model was used for hover performance, whereas a prescribed-vortex wake model was sufficient for moderate-to-high advance ratios. At low advance ratios, the increased rotor-wake interactions yielded less-accurate results using the prescribed wake. The validation study showed good correlation with test data using the best practices for the vortex wake modeling parameters.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2015/06/28/ VL - 117 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 244303-1 EP - 244303-9 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The potential of ultrathin MoS2 nanostructures for applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices requires a fundamental understanding in their electronic structure as a function of strain. Previous experimental and theoretical studies assume that an identical strain and/or stress state is always maintained in the top and bottom layers of a bilayer MoS2 film. In this study, a bilayer MoS2 supercell is constructed differently from the prototypical unit cell in order to investigate the layer-dependent electronic band gap energy in a bilayer MoS2 film under uniaxial mechanical deformations. The supercell contains an MoS2 bottom layer and a relatively narrower top layer (nanoribbon with free edges) as a simplified model to simulate the as-grown bilayer MoS2 flakes with free edges observed experimentally. Our results show that the two layers have different band gap energies under a tensile uniaxial strain, although they remain mutually interacting by van der Waals interactions. The deviation in their band gap energies grows from 0 to 0.42 eV as the uniaxial strain increases from 0% to 6% under both uniaxial strain and stress conditions. The deviation, however, disappears if a compressive uniaxial strain is applied. These results demonstrate that tensile uniaxial strains applied to bilayer MoS2 films can result in distinct band gap energies in the bilayer structures. Such variations need to be accounted for when analyzing strain effects on electronic properties of bilayer or multilayered 2D materials using experimental methods or in continuum models.

JO - Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems JF - Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 8 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1037 EP - 1054 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 19422466 AB - Global climate models (GCMs) are routinely relied upon to study the possible impacts of climate change on a wide range of meteorological phenomena, including tropical cyclones (TCs). Previous studies addressed whether GCMs are capable of reproducing observed TC frequency and intensity distributions. This research builds upon earlier studies by examining how well GCMs capture the physically relevant relationship between TC intensity and SST. Specifically, the influence of model resolution on the ability of a GCM to reproduce the sensitivity of simulated TC intensity to SST is examined for the MRI-AGCM (20 km), the GFDL-HiRAM (50 km), the FSU-COAPS (0.94°) model, and two versions of the CAM5 (1° and 0.25°). Results indicate that while a 1°C increase in SST corresponds to a 5.5-7.0 m s−1 increase in observed maximum intensity, the same 1°C increase in SST is not associated with a statistically significant increase in simulated TC maximum intensity for any of the models examined. However, it also is shown that the GCMs all capably reproduce the observed sensitivity of potential intensity to SST. The models generate the thermodynamic environment suitable for the development of strong TCs over the correct portions of the North Atlantic basin, but strong simulated TCs do not develop over these areas, even for models that permit Category 5 TCs. This result supports the notion that direct simulation of TC eyewall convection is necessary to accurately represent TC intensity and intensification processes in climate models, although additional explanations are also explored.

Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. On the basis of these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted depressed mood status in 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that the use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying Soldiers at higher risk for mental health issues. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in Soldiers.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 181 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1108 EP - 1113 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - According to the Centers for Disease Control’s recently devised National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii is a “serious” threat level pathogen. A. baumannii’s notoriety stems from the fact that a large number of modern strains are multidrug resistant and persist in the hospital setting, thus causing numerous deaths per year. It is imperative that research focus on a more fundamental understanding of the factors responsible for the success of A. baumannii. Toward this end, our group investigated virulence gene expression patterns in a recently characterized wound isolate, AB5075, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction array. Notably, several genes showed statistically significant upregulation at 37°C compared to 25°C; MviM, Wbbj, CarO, and certain genes of the Bas, Bar, and Csu operons. Additionally, we found that in vitro biofilm formation by Csu transposon insertion mutant strains is attenuated. These findings validate previous reports that suggest a link between the Csu operon and biofilm formation. More importantly, our results demonstrate a successful method for evaluating the significance of previously identified virulence factors in a modern and clinically relevant strain of A. baumannii, thereby providing a path toward a more fundamental understanding of the pathogenicity of A. baumannii.

A total of 35 active duty U.S. Army Soldiers participated in laboratory testing before and after deployment to Afghanistan. The following measures were obtained for each Soldier: shoulder, trunk, hip, knee, and ankle strength and range of motion (ROM), balance, body composition, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic power/capacity. Additionally, Soldiers were asked about their physical activity and load carriage. Paired t tests or Wilcoxon tests with an α = 0.05 set a priori were used for statistical analyses. Shoulder external rotation ROM, torso rotation ROM, ankle dorsiflexion ROM, torso rotation strength, and anaerobic power significantly increased following deployment (p < 0.05). Shoulder extension ROM, shoulder external rotation strength, and eyes-closed balance (p < 0.05) were significantly worse following deployment. The majority of Soldiers (85%) engaged in physical activity. In addition, 58% of Soldiers reported regularly carrying a load (22 kg average). The deployment-related changes in musculoskeletal and physiological characteristics and balance as well as physical activity and load carriage during deployment may assist with proper preparation with the intent to optimize tactical readiness and mitigate injury risk.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 181 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1142 EP - 1150 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Potable water is essential to maintain health and sustain military operations, but carrying and transporting water is a major logistical burden. Planning for group drinking water needs is complex, requiring understanding of sweat losses on the basis of intensity of activity, clothing biophysical parameters, and environmental conditions. Use of existing prediction equations is limited to tabled doctrine (e.g., Technical Bulletin, Medical 507) or to individuals with extensive expertise in thermal biophysics. In the present project, we translated the latest updated equations into a user-friendly Android application (Soldier Water Estimation Tool, SWET) that provides estimated drinking water required from 5 simple inputs based upon a detailed multiparametric sensitivity analysis. Users select from multiple choice inputs for activity level, clothing, and cloud cover, and manually enter exact values for temperature and relative humidity. Total drinking water needs for a unit are estimated in the Mission Planner tool on the basis of mission duration and number of personnel. In preliminary user acceptability testing, responses were overall positive in terms of ease of use and military relevance. Use of SWET for water planning will minimize excessive load (water) carriage in training and mission settings, and will reduce the potential for dehydration and/or hyponatremia to impair Warfighter health and performance.

Soldiers were asked to self-report injuries sustained in the last 12 months and whether or not they reported those injuries to a medical provider. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze treatment alternatives. Chi-square test was used to assess any significant relationships between injury and various demographics.Results: There were 808 (58%) Soldiers who stated they had an injury that they did not report. Over-the-counter pain relief medication (81%) was the most commonly selected alternative treatment.Conclusion: Over-the-counter pain medication was frequently used for symptom management among Soldiers who did not report their injury to a medical provider.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2016/08/30/ VL - 17 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 20 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: Genome-wide association studies provide important insights to the genetic component of disease risks. However, an existing challenge is how to incorporate collective effects of interactions beyond the level of independent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tests. While methods considering each SNP pair separately have provided insights, a large portion of expected heritability may reside in higher-order interaction effects. Results: We describe an inference approach (discrete discriminant analysis; DDA) designed to probe collective interactions while treating both genotypes and phenotypes as random variables. The genotype distributions in case and control groups are modeled separately based on empirical allele frequency and covariance data, whose differences yield disease risk parameters. We compared pairwise tests and collective inference methods, the latter based both on DDA and logistic regression. Analyses using simulated data demonstrated that significantly higher sensitivity and specificity can be achieved with collective inference in comparison to pairwise tests, and with DDA in comparison to logistic regression. Using age-related macular degeneration (AMD) data, we demonstrated two possible applications of DDA. In the first application, a genome-wide SNP set is reduced into a small number (~ 100) of variants via filtering and SNP pairs with significant interactions are identified. We found that interactions between SNPs with highest AMD association were epigenetically active in the liver, adipocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells. In the other application, multiple groups of SNPs were formed from the genome-wide data and their relative strengths of association were compared using cross-validation. This analysis allowed us to discover novel collections of loci for which interactions between SNPs play significant roles in their disease association. In particular, we considered pathway-based groups of SNPs containing up to ~ 10,000 variants in each group. In addition to pathways related to complement activation, our collective inference pointed to pathway groups involved in phospholipid synthesis, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, consistent with the AMD pathogenesis mechanism where the dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium cells plays central roles. Conclusions: The simultaneous inference of collective interaction effects within a set of SNPs has the potential to reveal novel aspects of disease association.

A total of 451 subjects (age: 27.6 ± 6.2 years, gender: males 395/451 = 87.6%) volunteered. Musculoskeletal injury data were extracted from subjects' medical charts and injuries that occurred during 1 year were described. Injury frequency, injury anatomic location and sublocation, injury cause, activity when injury occurred, and injury type were described. Injury frequency was 29.5 injuries per 100 subjects per year. Most injures affected the lower extremity (60.2% of injuries) and common anatomic sublocations for injuries were the ankle (17.3%) and knee (15.0%). Frequent causes of injuries were running (13.5%) and direct trauma (9.0%). Physical training was associated with 29.3% of the injuries. A majority of injuries were classified as pain/spasm/ache (29.3%), without further elucidation of pathology. Other frequent injury types were sprain (21.8%) and strain (14.3%). The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running. There is scope for the development of an optimized and targeted physical training program for injury prevention in this population.

Across all four categories, the most affected occupations were identified, among which we chose three Army combat-related military occupational specialties (MOSs) for detailed study. We identified skills needed to perform these MOSs and explored whether MOS-critical deficits could be expected following the injuries.Results: Some DoD occupations are more likely to suffer from these injuries, including Infantry, Combat Operations Control, Artillery/Gunnery, Motor Vehicle Operator, Combat Engineering, and Armor/Amphibious. Within these DoD occupations, we explored three Army combatant MOSs: Infantry (11B), Cavalry Scout (19D), and Artillery (13B), confirming that these jobs are likely to be disrupted by injuries within the four categories.Conclusions: Head and sensory injuries disproportionately affect certain military occupations. Relatively few injuries disrupt combat-related abilities that are job critical (e.g., firearms operation) and job specific (e.g., Artillery gunnery problems); these should be the focus of efforts to improve rehabilitation and RTD outcomes.

We explored the dengue diagnosis capability gap by circulating a questionnaire among military end users to determine in what capacity diagnostic test results are needed and how these results would be used at various roles of care in the Military Health System. Results were used to generate target product profiles for potential diagnostic tests. We determined that at far-forward locations, diagnostic tests need to be rugged and easy to use and are primarily needed to inform medical evacuation decisions. In mobile or fixed hospitals, diagnostics can be less portable but must be accurate enough to inform patient care decisions reliably. We then evaluated the suitability of using rapid diagnostic tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on published performance characteristics, and we used a model to determine positive and negative predictive values in certain simulated deployments. In far-forward settings, a rapid diagnostic test comprising both antigen- and antibody-based detection can fulfill the capability gap with reasonable accuracy, whereas at higher roles of care immunoglobulin M-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was determined to be the most suitable option.

Necessitated by the need to understand how processing additives influence poly-SiC structure and electrical properties, the distribution of lattice defects and impurities across a specimen of hot-pressed 6H poly-SiC processed with p-type additives was visualized with high spatial resolution using a conductive atomic force microscopy approach in which a contact forming a nano-Schottky interface is scanned across the sample. The results reveal very intricate structures within poly-SiC, with each grain having a complex core-rim structure. This complexity results from the influence the additives have on the evolution of the microstructure during processing. It was found that the highest conductivities localized at rims as well as at the interface between the rim and the core. The conductivity of the cores is less than the conductivity of the rims due to a lower concentration of dopant. Analysis of the observed conductivities and current-voltage curves is presented in the context of nano-Schottky contact regimes where the conventional understanding of charge transport to diode operation is no longer valid.

We show that the shock of transition has durably activated a limited but important subpopulation of Russians while deactivating others. Surprisingly, much of the variation in contemporary political participation across Russia's population can be explained by local economic conditions experienced by Russians in the early 1990s: Durable patterns of participation seem to have been "locked in" by economic trauma early in the transition period and are not influenced by the subsequent post-Soviet economic recovery or contemporary economic conditions.

Journal of Coastal Research, 31(6), 1295-1305. Boon and Mitchell determined sea-level acceleration using monthly averaged relative mean sea-level data from 45 U.S. tide stations and 1 Canadian station for 1969-2014. Their methods of analyzing tide gauge data are interesting and useful. However, they then projected sea-level change for 58 years from 1992-2050 based on constant accelerations calculated from these 46-year records. Calculations of acceleration based on records as short as 40-50 years are well known to be heavily corrupted by decadal variations in sea level. For example, Boon and Mitchell showed that 3-6 year variations in record length or time period resulted in what they said were 'dramatic change' in calculated acceleration. Therefore, the accelerations they calculated did not even remain constant for a few years, making long-term projections based on them untenable. Boon and Mitchell projected significant sea-level falls from 1992 to 2050 on the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington, in stark contrast with projections of significant rises by the National Research Council. Similarly, their projections on the U.S. Atlantic and Pacific coasts differ remarkably from projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Acceleration calculated from 46-year records varies significantly through time, and it is not valid to fix an acceleration value and project it into the future as if it were a constant.

The effects of open-loop 3, 4, and 5/rev IBC on vibratory hub loads, rotor performance, and IBC actuator loads (pitch link loads) are investigated at high-speed, moderate-thrust and high-thrust, moderate-speed conditions. RCAS captures maximum vibratory hub load reduction values well for some cases, but phase is generally not well captured at all. The coupled analysis shows reasonably good correlation with the measured vibratory hub load variations with 3/rev IBC actuation at the high-speed condition. However, the vibratory hub load correlation is worse for 4 and 5/rev IBC actuations. IBC actuations also have a significant influence on rotor performance. Measured data show a maximum 2.2% rotor power reduction (3.9% increase in rotor lift to effective-drag ratio) using 3/rev IBC actuation with 0.9° amplitude at μ = 0.35. In general, the coupled analysis shows good correlation with the measured rotor power variations at both high-speed and high-thrust conditions. Half peak-to-peak IBC actuator load variations are well predicted by the coupled analysis only for the 3/rev IBC actuation at high speed. In general, correlation at the high-speed condition is better than for the high-thrust condition.

MRLGDs were designed to achieve a desired stroking load of 4000 lb (17.8 kN) over a desired equivalent sink rate range of 6-12 ft/s (1.83-3.65m/s). The design analysis at low equivalent sink rates, vs < 10 ft/s (3.05m/s), was experimentally validated using ramp displacement inputs on a servo-hydraulic testing machine at low speed. To validate the analysis at high equivalent sink rates, vs > 10 ft/s (3.05 m/s), single damper drop tests were performed. Two force feedback control algorithms were developed to achieve the desired constant stroking load over the desired sink rate range, that is, (1) bang-bang current control and (2) continuous current control. The effectiveness of control algorithms was evaluated using both single damper drop tests and an iron-bird test setup with a landing gear system having a pair of forward and aft MRLGDs.

While it is well known that exposure of biological cells to shock waves causes damage to the cell membrane, it is currently unknown by which mechanisms damage is caused, and how it depends on physical parameters such as shock wave velocity, shock pulse duration, or shock pulse shape. In this computational study, we use a coarse-grained model of the lipid vesicle as a generic model of a cell membrane to elucidate the general principles of the cellular damage induced by the shock wave direct passage through the cranium. Results indicate that the extent of the liposome compression does not strongly depend on the pressure pulse and that liposome extension is very sensitive to the change in the negative pressure phase. The structural integrity of the vesicle is altered as pores form in the lipid membrane at overall pressure impulses generated by supersonic shock waves, which are greater than 5 Pa . s at single or repetitive exposure. Consequently, these permeability changes may lead to changes in the influx of sodium, potassium, and calcium ions.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2014/11/07/ VL - 116 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 174502-1 EP - 174502-7 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Single carbon interstitial in silicon dioxide, existing in carboxyl configuration, is shown to act as a border hole trap near 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface. Using density functional theory-based formation energy considerations, it is found to switch charge state between +2 and neutral as the 4H-SiC Fermi level sweeps its charge transition level located 1.4 eV above 4H-SiC valence band edge. Thus, carboxyl defect is predicted to be a potential candidate for threshold voltage instability in 4H-SiC MOSFETs. Post oxidation annealing of the interface with nitric oxide is shown to remove carboxyl defects. However, treating the defect in H2 creates a hole trap level at 1.1 eV above 4H-SiC valence band edge similar to the original carboxyl defect. The stability of carboxyl and H2 treated carboxyl defects in their doubly positive state is explained on the basis of their structural and bonding transformations during hole capture. These include puckering and back-bonding of silicon with lattice oxygen as in the well-known oxygen vacancy (E' center) hole traps and an increase in the bond order between carboxyl carbon and oxygen.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2014/09/07/ VL - 116 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - SrTiO3 (STO) thin films were grown simultaneously via the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique on two different substrates: platinized sapphire and platinized TiO2/SiO2/Si. The thin films were analyzed for stoichiometry, crystallinity, surface roughness, and average grain size. Dielectric properties of the thin films such as dielectric constant, loss, and leakage current characteristics were measured and compared. We demonstrate that the MOCVD technique is an appropriate method for fabrication of STO thin films with excellent structural, microstructural, dielectric, and insulation properties. Comparative analysis of the films yielded an unexpected result that the thin film with a higher mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate (Si) and the deposited STO film yielded a higher dielectric constant with respect to that of STO/sapphire. The dielectric loss for both films were similar (tan δ = 0.005 at 100 kHz), however, the leakage current for the film with a higher dielectric constant was three orders of magnitude higher. An explanation of these results is presented and discussed.

The DFT results validate the values obtained in several experiments using ultrasonic and impulsive stimulated thermal scattering techniques and disagree with those obtained using Brillouin scattering which, in general, exceed the other experimental and theoretical results. Compressibility diagrams at zero pressure are presented for the ab, ac, and bc crystallographic planes, and the anisotropic linear compressibility within the ac plane of α-RDX at 0 GPa, observed using ultrasonic and impulsive stimulated thermal scattering measurements, is verified using DFT.

The HAXPES measurements observe a band bending occurring prior to metal deposition, which is attributed to a combination of fixed oxide charges and interface states of donor-type. Following metal deposition, the Fermi level positions at the Al2O3/In0.53Ga0.47As interface move towards the expected direction as observed from HAXPES measurements. The In0.53Ga0.47As surface Fermi level positions determined from both the C-V analysis at zero gate bias and HAXPES measurements are in reasonable agreement. The results are consistent with the presence of electrically active interface states at the Al2O3/In0.53Ga0.47As interface and suggest an interface state density increasing towards the In0.53Ga0.47As valence band edge.

In this work, we calculated formation/binding energies for 1–8 He atoms in a monovacancy at all potential grain boundary (GB) sites within 15Å of the ten grain boundaries selected (122106 simulations total). The present results provide detailed information about the interaction energies and length scales of 1–8 He atoms with grain boundaries for the structures examined. A number of interesting new findings emerge from the present study. First, the Σ3(112) "twin" GB has significantly lower binding energies for all HenV clusters than all other boundaries in this study. For all grain boundary sites, the effect of the local environment surrounding each site on the HenV formation and binding energies decreases with an increasing number of He atoms in the HenV cluster. Based on the calculated dataset, we formulated a model to capture the evolution of the formation and binding energy of HenV clusters as a function of distance from the GB center, utilizing only constants related to the maximum binding energy and the length scale.

The effects on magnetization of synthesis approach, chemical composition, processing conditions, and on the size of nanoparticles on magnetization have been investigated. The measured room-temperature magnetization for the as-prepared magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) synthesized via polyol-reduction and coprecipitation is 69Am2 kg-1 and 14Am2 kg-1, respectively. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm spinel structure of the particles with an estimated grain size of ~80 nm obtained from the polyol-reduction and 28 nm obtained from these coprecipitation techniques. Upon calcination under atmospheric conditions at different temperatures between 800 °C and 1000 °C, the magnetization, M, of the coprecipitated MNP increases to 76Am2 kg-1 with an estimated grain size of 90 nm. The MNP-polymer nanocomposites made from the synthesized MNP in various loading fraction and high density polyethylene exhibit interesting electromagnetic properties. The measured permeability and permittivity of the magnetic nanoparticle-polymer nanocomposites increases with the loading fractions of the magnetic nanoparticles, suggesting control for impedance matching for antenna applications.

We calculate the critical impurity concentration for destabilizing plane-front solidification, and introduce the "amplification coefficient," which is an empirical parameter describing the degree of amplification that must occur between the time the planar liquid-solid interface first becomes unstable, and the time of formation of morphological features of interface breakdown that is later observed in the microstructure. By connecting our calculations to experimental observations from the literature, we determine this parameter for Au, Co, Cr, Fe, Ga, In, and Zn in (100) Si and Ti in (111) Si, and find that it increases with impurity diffusive speed vD approximately as vD0.56. We present an approximate but simple method of estimating the maximum impurity concentration that may be incorporated in a surface layer of a given thickness without the appearance of cellular breakdown.

JO - Nutrition Journal JF - Nutrition Journal Y1 - 2016/06/22/ VL - 15 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14752891 AB - Background: Alcohol is a significant component of the diet with dose-dependent risks and benefits. High doses of alcohol damage the liver and early symptoms of liver disease include changes in routinely assessed liver enzymes. Less is known regarding the mechanisms responsible for the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, including their effects on the liver. The objectives of this study were to examine alcohol's dose-dependent effects on markers of liver function (alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), and bilirubin), as well as to compare the different methods of assessing alcohol intake using NHANES 2001-2010 adult data (N = 24,807).Methods: Three methods were used to estimate alcohol intake from all volunteers: 24-h recall; the National Cancer Institute (NCI) method of usual intake; and a specific alcohol intake questionnaire.Results: Mean alcohol intake by 24-h recall, NCI method and questionnaire was 41.0 ± 0.8 g/d, 10.9 ± 0.2 g/d and 11.0 ± 0.2 g/d, respectively. Alcohol consumers had significantly lower levels of ALP and higher levels of AST, GGT and bilirubin compared to non-consumers (P < 0.01) and activities of ALT, AST, and GGT increased and of ALP decreased as alcohol intake increased, regardless of intake assessment method used. The most sensitive measure of alcohol consumption was GGT.Conclusions: Since alcohol had a graded linear effect on several liver enzymes, including at low and moderate doses, benefits as well as risks of alcohol intake may be related to liver function. Since the NCI method and alcohol questionnaire yielded very similar alcohol intake estimates, this study cross-validated these methods and demonstrated the robustness of the NCI method for estimating intake of irregularly consumed foods.

While the number of epidemics due to the four DENV serotypes is pronounced in East Africa, the total number of cases reported in Africa (16 million infections) remained at low levels compared to Asia (70 million infections). The French Armed forces Health Service provides epidemiological surveillance support in the Republic of Djibouti through the Bouffard Military hospital. Between 2011 and 2014, clinical and biological data of suspected dengue syndromes were collected at the Bouffard Military hospital and analyzed to improve Dengue clinical diagnosis and evaluate its circulation in East Africa. Examining samples from patients that presented one or more Dengue-like symptoms the study evidenced 128 Dengue cases among 354 suspected cases (36.2% of the non-malarial Dengue-like syndromes). It also demonstrated the circulation of serotypes 1 and 2 and reports the first epidemic of serotype 3 infections in Djibouti which was found in all of the hospitalized patients in this study. Based on these results we have determined that screening for Malaria and the presence of the arthralgia, gastro-intestinal symptoms and lymphopenia < 1,000cell/ mm3 allows for negative predictive value and specificity of diagnosis in isolated areas superior to 80% up to day 6. This study also provides evidence for an epidemic of Dengue virus serotype 3 previously not detected in Djibouti.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2016/06/10/ VL - 11 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Recording synchronous data from EEG and eye-tracking provides a unique methodological approach for measuring the sensory and cognitive processes of overt visual search. Using this approach we obtained fixation related potentials (FRPs) during a guided visual search task specifically focusing on the lambda and P3 components. An outstanding question is whether the lambda and P3 FRP components are influenced by concurrent task demands. We addressed this question by obtaining simultaneous eye-movement and electroencephalographic (EEG) measures during a guided visual search task while parametrically modulating working memory load using an auditory N-back task. Participants performed the guided search task alone, while ignoring binaurally presented digits, or while using the auditory information in a 0, 1, or 2-back task. The results showed increased reaction time and decreased accuracy in both the visual search and N-back tasks as a function of auditory load. Moreover, high auditory task demands increased the P3 but not the lambda latency while the amplitude of both lambda and P3 was reduced during high auditory task demands. The results show that both early and late stages of visual processing indexed by FRPs are significantly affected by concurrent task demands imposed by auditory working memory.

Modulation of the As/Sb ratio was induced along the growth direction during molecular beam epitaxy, producing a strained layer superlattice. To enable the use of concentration ratios near unity in both layers in the period, the structures were grown with negligible net strain on a virtual substrate with a lattice constant considerably larger than that of GaSb. The bandgap line-up of InAsSb layers with different compositions is such that a type II superlattice is formed, which exhibits smaller bandgaps than either of the two constituents. It can also be smaller than the possible minimum direct-bandgap of the alloy. From observations of CuPt ordering in bulk layers with small amounts of strain of both signs, we postulate that strain is the main driving force for atomic ordering in InAsSb. Because the modulated structures exhibit small but opposing amounts of strain, both layers in the period exhibit ordering at the atomic scale throughout the structure. Since the strain can be controlled, the ordering can be controlled and sustained for arbitrary thick layers, unlike the situation in uniform bulk layers where the residual strain eventually leads to dislocation formation. This offers a unique way of using ordering at two different scales to engineer the band-structure.

In comparison to the as-grown monolayers, annealing in the temperature range of 150-250 °C brings about significant changes in the band edge luminescence. It is observed that annealing at 150 °C gives rise to a 100-fold increase in the PL intensity and produces a strong band at 1.852 eV attributed to a free-to-bound transition that dominates over the band edge excitonic luminescence. This band disappears for the higher annealing temperatures. The improvement in PL after the 200 °C anneal is reduced in comparison to that obtained after the 150 °C anneal; this is suggested to arise from a decrease in the non-radiative lifetime caused by the creation of sulfur di-vacancies. Annealing at 250 °C degrades the PL in comparison to the as-grown sample because of the onset of disorder/decomposition of the sample. It is clear that the PL features of the CVD-grown MoS2 monolayer are profoundly affected by thermal annealing in Ar atmosphere. However, further detailed studies are needed to identify, unambiguously, the role of native defects and/or adsorbed species in defining the radiative channels in annealed samples so that the beneficial effect of improvement in the optical efficiency of the MoS2 monolayers can be leveraged for various device applications.

Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

Participants were predominantly white (57%), Army (91%), enlisted (72%), males (71%), with a mean age of 30 ± 9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0 ± 4.2 kg/m(2). The cross-sectional, descriptive study included active duty service members (n = 295) recruited from Texas and Washington. Validated Motivation for Eating Scale (MFES) and Intuitive Eating Scale were administered and BMI (m/kg(2)) was dichotomized at <25 or ≥25 kg/m(2). Descriptive, correlation, t-test, and logistic regression analysis were conducted for BMI category with demographic, lifestyle, and MFES/Intuitive Eating Scale scores (α = 0.05; 80% power). Thirty-six percent were normal BMI (22.7 ± 1.6 kg/m(2)) and 64% were overweight/obese BMI (29.3 ± 3.3 kg/m(2)). Mean BMI was 27.8 ± 4.2 kg/m(2) (males) and 24.8 ± 3.4 kg/m(2) (females) (p < 0.001). Physical MFES type was predominant (77% normal BMI vs. 66% overweight; p = 0.001). Males ate for physical rather than emotional reasons (p = 0.014). Each 1-point increase in Reliance on Internal Hunger Satiety Score was associated with 34% lower odds of being overweight. Disparity existed between sex and intuitive eating characteristic. Increasing awareness of eating influences may improve weight-related dietary behaviors.

Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

The mission of the FST is to provide resuscitative and damage control surgery for stabilization of life-threatening injuries in austere environments. The Army Trauma Training Center began in 2001 at the University of Miami Ryder Trauma Center under the direction of COL T. E. Knuth, MC USA (Ret.), as a multimodality combination of lectures, laboratory exercises, and clinical experiences that provided the only predeployment mass casualty and clinical trauma training center for all FSTs. Each of the subsequent five directors has restructured the training based on dynamic feedback from trainees, current military needs, and on the rapid advances in combat casualty care. We have highlighted these evolutionary changes at the Army Trauma Training Center in previous reviews. Under the current director, LTC J. M. Seery, MC USA, there are new team-building exercises, mobile learning modules and simulators, and other alternative methods in the mass casualty exercise. This report summarizes the latest updates to the state of the art training since the last review.

The four family types are balanced, moderately balanced, midrange, and extreme. The five personality traits are extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness, emotional stability, and conscientiousness. Data were collected through anonymous questionnaires distributed to combat-naïve Soldiers at the beginning of their advanced individual training. This study utilized the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale1 and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory2 as measures. Overall the analyses found that participants classified as a balanced family type scored significantly higher on the personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience than those classified in the family types of extreme, midrange, and moderately balanced. It appears that family types are associated with personality traits. This study opens doors to future research including looking at how family and personality types relate to each other in military units and personnel.

JO - Malaria Journal JF - Malaria Journal Y1 - 2016/05/31/ VL - 13 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14752875 AB - Background: Recent vaccine studies have shown that the magnitude of an antibody response is often insufficient to explain efficacy, suggesting that characteristics regarding the quality of the antibody response, such as its fine specificity and functional activity, may play a major role in protection. Previous studies of the lead malaria vaccine candidate, RTS,S, have shown that circumsporozoite protein (CSP)-specific antibodies and CD4+ T cell responses are associated with protection, however the role of fine specificity and biological function of CSP-specific antibodies remains to be elucidated. Here, the relationship between fine specificity, opsonization-dependent phagocytic activity and protection in RTS,S-induced antibodies is explored. Methods: A new method for measuring the phagocytic activity mediated by CSP-specific antibodies in THP-1 cells is presented and applied to samples from a recently completed phase 2 RTS,S/AS01 clinical trial. The fine specificity of the antibody response was assessed using ELISA against three antigen constructs of CSP: the central repeat region, the C-terminal domain and the full-length protein. A multi-parameter analysis of phagocytic activity and fine-specificity data was carried out to identify potential correlates of protection in RTS,S. Results: Results from the newly developed assay revealed that serum samples from RTS,S recipients displayed a wide range of robust and repeatable phagocytic activity. Phagocytic activity was correlated with full-length CSP and C-terminal specific antibody titres, but not to repeat region antibody titres, suggesting that phagocytic activity is primarily driven by C-terminal antibodies. Although no significant difference in overall phagocytic activity was observed with respect to protection, phagocytic activity expressed as 'opsonization index', a relative measure that normalizes phagocytic activity with CS antibody titres, was found to be significantly lower in protected subjects than non-protected subjects. Conclusions: Opsonization index was identified as a surrogate marker of protection induced by the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine and determined how antibody fine specificity is linked to opsonization activity. These findings suggest that the role of opsonization in protection in the RTS,S vaccine may be more complex than previously thought, and demonstrate how integrating multiple immune measures can provide insight into underlying mechanisms of immunity and protection.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2016/05/28/ VL - 119 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 205105-1 EP - 205105-13 SN - 00218979 AB - We report first-principles investigations of crystalline and amorphous boron and M1xM2yXzB14-z (M1, M2=Al, Mg, Li, Na, Y; X=Ti, C, Si) phases (so-called "BAM" materials). Phase stability is analyzed in terms of formation energy and dynamical stability. The atomic configurations as well as the electronic and phonon density states of these phases are compared. Amorphous boron consists of distorted icosahedra, icosahedron fragments, and dioctahedra, connected by an amorphous network. The presence of metal atoms in amorphous BAM materials precludes the formation of icosahedra. For all the amorphous structures considered here, the Fermi level is located in the mobility gap independent of the number of valence electrons. The intra-icosahedral vibrations are localized in the range of 800 cm-1, whereas the inter-icosahedral vibrations appear at higher wavenumbers. The amorphization leads to an enhancement of the vibrations in the range of 1100-1250 cm-1. The mechanical properties of BAM materials are investigated at equilibrium and under shear and tensile strain. The anisotropy of the ideal shear and tensile strengths is explained in terms of a layered structure of the B12 units. The strength of amorphous BAM materials is lower than that of the crystalline counterparts because of the partial fragmentation of the boron icosahedra in amorphous structures. The strength enhancement found experimentally for amorphous boron-based films is very likely related to an increase in film density, and the presence of oxygen impurities. For crystalline BAM materials, the icosahedra are preserved during elongation upon tension as well as upon shear in the (010)[100] slip system.

Clinicians use large volumes of data that are condensed in time, but separated across resources, to care for patients. Correctly designed health information technology (IT) systems may help clinicians to treat these patients more efficiently, accurately, and reliably. We report on a 3-year project to design and develop an ecologically valid IT system for use in a military BICU.Methods: We use a mixed methods Cognitive Systems Engineering approach for research and development. Observations, interviews, artifact analysis, survey, and thematic analysis methods were used to reveal underlying factors that mold the work environment and affect clinician decisions that may affect patient outcomes. Participatory design and prototyping methods have been used to develop solutions.Results: We developed 39 requirements for the IT system and used them to create three use cases to help developers better understand how the system might support clinician work to develop interface prototypes. We also incorporated data mining functions that offer the potential to aid clinicians by recognizing patterns recognition of clinically significant events, such as incipient sepsis. The gaps between information sources and accurate, reliable, and efficient clinical decision that we have identified will enable us to create scenarios to evaluate prototype systems with BICU clinicians, to develop increasingly improved designs, and to measure outcomes.Conclusion: The link from data to analyses, requirements, prototypes, and their evaluation ensures that the solution will reflect and support work in the BICU as it actually occurs, improving staff efficiency and patient care quality.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/05/02/May2016 Supplement VL - 181 M3 - Article SP - 145 EP - 151 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: U.S. Critical Care Air Transport Teams (CCATTs) evacuate critically ill patients with acute pain in the combat setting. Limited data have been reported on analgesic administration en route, and no study has reported analgesic use by CCATTs. Our objective was to describe analgesics used by CCATTs for nonintubated, critically ill patients during evacuation from a combat setting.Methods: We conducted an institutional review board-approved, retrospective review of CCATT records. We included nonintubated, critically ill patients who were administered analgesics in flight and were evacuated out of theater (2007-2012). Demographics, injury description, analgesics and anesthetics, and predefined clinical adverse events were recorded. Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation or percentage (%).Results: Of 1,128 records, we analyzed 381 subjects with the following characteristics: age 26 ± 7.0 years; 98% male; and 97% trauma (70% blast, 17% penetrating, 11% blunt, and 3% burn). The injury severity score was 19 ± 9. Fifty-one percent received morphine, 39% hydromorphone, 15% fentanyl, and 5% ketamine. Routes of delivery were 63% patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), 32% bolus intravenous (IV) administration, 24% epidural delivery, 21% continuous IV infusions, and 9% oral opioids. Patients that were administered local anesthetics (nerve block or epidural delivery) with IV opioids received a lower total dose of opioids than those who received opioids alone. No differences were associated between analgesics and frequency of complications in flight or postflight.Conclusion: About half of nonintubated, critically ill subjects evacuated out of combat by CCATT received morphine and more than half had a PCA. In our study, ketamine was not frequently used and pain scores were rarely recorded. However, we detected an opioid-sparing effect associated with local anesthetics (regional nerve blocks and epidural delivery).

The objective of this study was to identify associations between preflight variables and outcomes that could assist planning of ongoing critical care.Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study included all patients evacuated from Afghanistan by CCATT between 2007 and 2011. Preflight variables were assessed for associations and examined in logistic regression models. Ventilator time over 72 hours, and 30-day mortality were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively.Results: 1,308 trauma patients (24 years, 98% male) were included; 72% blast. Injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), preflight packed red blood cell units transfused (OR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]), and preflight intubated status (OR = 11.9 [8.53-16.89]) were independently associated with increased ventilator days; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.85 with 86% sensitivity and 56% specificity. Injury severity score (OR = 1.06 [1.03-1.09]), prothrombin time (OR = 2.13 [1.18-4.47]), preflight intubated status (OR = 9.2 [1.88-166.11]), and whole blood (OR = 3.18 [1.38-7.04]) were associated with 30-day mortality; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.84 with 71% sensitivity and 57% specificity.Conclusion: In our large CCATT study a number of preflight variables were associated with outcomes, which may assist in the future planning of critical care services.

This study investigated its dose effects on in vitro coagulation in human and pig blood.Methods: Blood samples were collected from 6 normal volunteers and 6 healthy pigs and processed to make platelet-adjusted samples (100 × 10(3)/μL, common transfusion trigger in trauma). Ibuprofen was added to the samples at concentrations of 0 μg/mL (control), the concentration from the highest recommended oral dose (163 μg/mL, 1×), and 2×, 4×, 8×, 10×, 12×, 16×, and 20×. Platelet aggregation by Chrono-Log aggregometer and coagulation by rotational thrombelastogram (Rotem) were assessed at 15 minutes after the addition of ibuprofen.Results: A robust inhibition of ibuprofen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed at all doses tested in human or pig blood. Collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was inhibited starting at 1× in human blood and 4× in pig blood. Rotem measurements were similarly compromised in pig and human blood starting at 16×, except clot formation time was prolonged at 1× in human blood (all p < 0.05).Conclusion: Ibuprofen inhibited platelet aggregation at recommended doses, and compromised coagulation at higher doses. Human blood was more sensitive to ibuprofen inhibition. Further effort is needed to investigate ibuprofen dose responses on coagulation in vivo.

After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 181 IS - 5 M3 - journal article SP - 463 EP - 468 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: After trauma, compartment syndrome of the extremities is a common, disabling, and-if managed suboptimally-lethal problem. Its treatment by surgical fasciotomy continues to be useful but controversial. The purpose of this survey is to measure survival and fasciotomy in a large trauma system to characterize trends and to determine if fasciotomy is associated with improved survival.Methods: We retrospectively surveyed data from a military trauma registry for U.S. casualties from 2001 to 2010. Casualties had extremity injury or extremity fasciotomy. We associated survival and fasciotomy.Results: Of 17,166 casualties in the total study, 19% (3,313) had fasciotomy and 2.8% (481) had compartment syndrome. Annual fasciotomy rates started at 0% (2001) and rose to 26% (2010). For all casualties, the survival rate initially was high (100%) but decreased steadily until its nadir (96.4%) in 2005. Thereafter, it increased to make a V-shaped trend with reversal occurring after fielding two interventions within the trauma system specifically for casualties at risk for fasciotomy-tourniquet use and a fasciotomy education program.Conclusions: Over a decade of war, the survival rate of extremity injured casualties was associated with two trauma system interventions-tourniquet usage and a fasciotomy education program. The current example of measuring implementation of initiatives may be useful as a model for future attempted improvements in health care.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2016/04/21/ VL - 144 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 154901-1 EP - 154901-12 SN - 00219606 AB - Equilibrated systems of entangled polymer melts cannot be produced using direct brute force equilibration due to the slow reptation dynamics exhibited by high molecular weight chains. Instead, these dense systems are produced using computational techniques such as Monte Carlo-Molecular Dynamics hybrid algorithms, though the use of soft potentials has also shown promise mainly for coarse-grained polymeric systems. Through the use of soft-potentials, the melt can be equilibrated via molecular dynamics at intermediate and long length scales prior to switching to a Lennard-Jones potential.We will outline two different equilibration protocols, which use various degrees of information to produce the starting configurations. In one protocol, we use only the equilibrium bond angle, bond length, and target density during the construction of the simulation cell, where the information is obtained from available experimental data and extracted from the force field without performing any prior simulation. In the second protocol, we moreover utilize the equilibrium radial distribution function and dihedral angle distribution. This information can be obtained from experimental data or from a simulation of short unentangled chains. Both methods can be used to prepare equilibrated and highly entangled systems, but the second protocol is much more computationally efficient. These systems can be strictly monodisperse or optionally polydisperse depending on the starting chain distribution. Our protocols, which utilize a soft-core harmonic potential, will be applied for the first time to equilibrate a million particle system of polyethylene chains consisting of 1000 united atoms at various temperatures. Calculations of structural and entanglement properties demonstrate that this method can be used as an alternative towards the generation of entangled equilibrium structures.

Evidence has suggested that lipid emulsion infusion therapy has been successful in the treatment of antidepressant overdose. No studies have determined the optimal combination of lipid/advanced cardiovascular life support therapy for treatment.Methods: This study was a prospective, experimental, between subjects design with a swine model investigating the effectiveness of drug combinations administered with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) postvenlafexine overdose. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of eight groups containing seven subjects. The groups tested were CPR only and CPR with epinephrine alone; vasopressin alone; lipid alone; epinephrine and vasopressin; epinephrine and lipid; vasopressin and lipid; and epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipid. The outcomes of interest were survival odds and time to return of spontaneous circulation.Results: Results on these swine models indicate that the use of vasopressin coupled with lipids for venlafaxine overdose resulted in a higher survival rate when compared to the control group (p = 0.023). Groups receiving vasopressin experienced statistically faster times to return of spontaneous circulation than other groups (p = 0.019).Conclusions: The results suggest that in swine models, the optimal treatment for venlafaxine overdose would include vasopressin with lipids.

Development of soft-inplane tiltrotor technology is beneficial for providing viable lightweight hub design options for future heavy lift transport rotorcraft application. Experimental verification of such advanced configurations using either subscale models in wind tunnels or full-scale flight testing is becoming prohibitively expensive. Advanced modeling and simulation of complex tiltrotor hub configurations using multibody dynamics analyses offers an alternative to such expensive experimental verifications. Comprehensive rotorcraft-oriented multibody analyses enable themodeling and simulation of rotor hub systems to a level of detail that allows the complex kinematics and nonlinear effects associated with rotor hub control systems and drive train free play to be considered. The influence of these and other nonlinear effects on the aeromechanical behavior of a tiltrotor model is examined in this study.

The objectives of the work are to (1) validate the analysis with detailed aerodynamic measurements under loading conditions unique to this regime and (2) use the analysis to complement testmeasurements and expand fundamental understanding of slowed rotor and high advance ratio physics. Airloads validation shows excellent agreement with normal force, but pitching moments are poorly predicted on both the advancing (negative lifting) and retreating (reversed flow) blades. Fundamental understanding is gained of the physics of the reversed flow region, wake interactions, advancing and retreating blade moment impulses, differential span loading, and blade deformations—as influenced by RPM and advance ratio. Flow field visualizations show in exceptional detail the unconventional wake patterns, the reversed flow dynamic stall vortex progression, blade-on-blade interactions, reversed-flow-edge vortex, and root vortices. Comparisons of rotor performance and trim controls are documented, showing reasonable trend agreement.

Academic societies can respond by helping to train scholars to be stewards of their disciplines, and the means by which disciplines will do so is to focus on the character of the scholar through the development and reinforcement of specific virtues. Following the arguments of Plato, Ernest Boyer, and Alasdair MacIntyre, we argue that the development of stewards can help kinesiology respond to contemporary issues.

JO - Geological Society of America Bulletin JF - Geological Society of America Bulletin Y1 - 2016/11//Nov/Dec2016 VL - 128 IS - 11-12 M3 - Article SP - 1780 EP - 1812 PB - Geological Society of America SN - 00167606 AB - Chemical analyses from 71 watersheds across an ~450 km transect in west-central Panama provide insight into controls on weathering and rates of chemical denudation and CO2 consumption across an igneous arc terrain in the tropics. Stream and river compositions across this region of Panama are generally dilute, having a total dissolved solute value = 118 ± 91 mg/L, with bicarbonate and silica being the predominant dissolved species. Solute, stable isotope, and radiogenic isotope compositions are consistent with dissolution of igneous rocks present in Panama by meteoric precipitation, with geochemical signatures of rivers largely acquired in their upstream regions. Comparison of a headwater basin with its entire watershed observed considerably more runoff production from the high-elevation upstream portion of the catchment than in its much more spatially extensive downstream region. Rock alteration profiles document that weathering proceeds primarily by dissolution of feldspar and pyroxene, with base cations effectively leached in the following sequence: Na > Ca > Mg > K. Control on water chemistry by bedrock lithology is indicated through a linking of elevated ([Na + K]/[Ca + Mg]) ratios in waters to a high proportion of catchment area silicic bedrock and low ratios to mafic bedrock. Sr-isotope ratios are dominated by basementderived Sr, with only very minor, if any, contribution from other sources. Cation weathering of Casil + Mgsil + Na + K spans about an order in magnitude, from 3 to 32 tons/km2/yr. Strong positive correlations of chemical denudation and CO2 consumption are observed with precipitation, mean watershed elevation, extent of land surface forest cover, and physical erosion rate.

Fish were a male 987 mm TL, 10.9 kg, and a female 1042 mm TL, 12.2 kg. Both fish were age 5. Eight additional silver carp (930-1054 mm TL, 9.1-14.1 kg) and one bighead carp (H. nobilis) (1065 mm TL, 15.9 kg) were collected in the West Middle Pearl River 29 September - 1 October 2015 (RKM 18.9-20.8), 10.5 km E of Slidell, LA (St. Tammany Parish). All specimens were male and ranged 6-9 years in age. A silver carp (age = 7) was collected by a recreational fisher 19 November 2015 in the Pearl River below the Ross Barnett Reservoir (RKM 480) near Jackson, MS. These three collections are believed to represent nonindigenous silver and bighead carp dispersal from the Mississippi River Basin during floods.

T1 - Multi-scale coarse-graining of non-conservative interactions in molecular liquids. JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2014/03/14/ VL - 140 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - A new bottom-up procedure for constructing non-conservative (dissipative and stochastic) interactions for dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) models is described and applied to perform hierarchical coarse-graining of a polar molecular liquid (nitromethane). The distant-dependent radial and shear frictions in functional-free form are derived consistently with a chosen form for conservative interactions by matching two-body force-velocity and three-body velocity-velocity correlations along the microscopic trajectories of the centroids of Voronoi cells (clusters), which represent the dissipative particles within the DPD description. The Voronoi tessellation is achieved by application of the K-means clustering algorithm at regular time intervals. Consistently with a notion of many-body DPD, the conservative interactions are determined through the multi-scale coarse-graining (MS-CG) method, which naturally implements a pairwise decomposition of the microscopic free energy. A hierarchy of MS-CG/DPD models starting with one molecule per Voronoi cell and up to 64 molecules per cell is derived. The radial contribution to the friction appears to be dominant for all models. As the Voronoi cell sizes increase, the dissipative forces rapidly become confined to the first coordination shell. For Voronoi cells of two and more molecules the time dependence of the velocity autocorrelation function becomes monotonic and well reproduced by the respective MS-CG/DPD models. A comparative analysis of force and velocity correlations in the atomistic and CG ensembles indicates Markovian behavior with as low as two molecules per dissipative particle. The models with one and two molecules per Voronoi cell yield transport properties (diffusion and shear viscosity) that are in good agreement with the atomistic data. The coarser models produce slower dynamics that can be appreciably attributed to unaccounted dissipation introduced by regular Voronoi re-partitioning as well as by larger numerical errors in mapping out the dissipative forces. The framework presented herein can be used to develop computational models of real liquids which are capable of bridging the atomistic and mesoscopic scales.

To achieve this, we use an algorithm based on 2D-device simulations of a power MOSFET, density functional simulations, and measurement data. Using physical modeling of carrier mobility and interface traps, we reproduce the experimental I-V characteristics of a 4H-SiC doubly implanted MOSFET through drift-diffusion simulation. We extract the position of Fermi level and the occupied trap density as a function of applied bias and temperature. Using these inputs, our algorithm estimates the number of possible trap types, their energy levels, and concentrations at 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface. Subsequently, we use density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio simulations to identify the atomic make-up of defects causing these trap levels. We study silicon vacancy and carbon di-interstitial defects in the SiC side of the interface. Our algorithm indicates that the Dit spectrum near the conduction band edge (3.25 eV) is composed of three trap types located at 2.8-2.85 eV, 3.05 eV, and 3.1-3.2 eV, and also calculates their densities. Based on DFT simulations, this work attributes the trap levels very close to the conduction band edge to the C di-interstitial defect.

Ten different low Σ grain boundaries from the h100i and h110i symmetric tilt grain boundary systems were used. In this work, we then calculated formation/binding energies for 1-2 He atoms in the substitutional and interstitial sites (HeV, He2V, He2Int, He2Int) at all potential grain boundary sites within 15Å of the boundary (52 826 simulations total). The present results provide detailed information about the interaction energies and length scales of 1-2 He atoms with grain boundaries for the structures examined. A number of interesting new findings emerge from the present study. For instance, the Σ3(112) twin boundary in BCC Fe possesses a much smaller binding energy than other boundaries, which corresponds in long time dynamics simulations to the ability of an interstitial He defect to break away from the boundary in simulations on the order of nanoseconds. Additionally, positive correlations between the calculated formation/binding energies of the He defects (R>0.9) asserts that the local environment surrounding each site strongly influences the He defect energies and that highly accurate quantum mechanics calculations of lower order defects may be an adequate predictor of higher order defects. Various metrics to quantify or classify the local environment were compared with the He defect binding energies. The present work shows that the binding and formation energies for He defects are important for understanding the physics of He diffusion and trapping by grain boundaries, which can be important for modeling He interactions in polycrystalline steels.

Evolutionary algorithm and density functional theory (DFT) calculations starting from several models of AION with different Al or O vacancy locations and different positions for the N atoms relative to the vacancy were carried out. The results show that the constant anion model [McCauley et al., J. Eur. Ceram. Soc. 29(2), 223 (2009)] with a random distribution of N atoms not adjacent to the Al vacancy has the lowest energy configuration. The lowest energy structure is in a reasonable agreement with experimental X-ray diffraction spectra. The optimized structure of a 55 atom unit cell was used to construct 220 and 440 atom models for simulation cells using DFT with a Gaussian basis set. Cubic elastic constant predictions were found to approach the experimentally determined AlON single crystal elastic constants as the model size increased from 55 to 440 atoms. The pressure dependence of the elastic constants found from simulated stress-strain relations were in overall agreement with experimental measurements of polycrystalline and single crystal AlON. Calculated IR intensity and Raman spectra are compared with available experimental data.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2013/11/21/ VL - 114 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 191301 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - There has been significant progress on the fundamental science and technological applications of complex oxides and multiferroics. Among complex oxide thin films, barium strontium titanate (BST) has become the material of choice for room-temperature-based voltage-tunable dielectric thin films, due to its large dielectric tunability and low microwave loss at room temperature. BST thin film varactor technology based reconfigurable radio frequency (RF)/microwave components have been demonstrated with the potential to lower the size, weight, and power needs of a future generation of communication and radar systems. Low-power multiferroic devices have also been recently demonstrated. Strong magneto-electric coupling has also been demonstrated in different multiferroic heterostructures, which show giant voltage control of the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of more than two octaves. This manuscript reviews recent advances in the processing, and application development for the complex oxides and multiferroics, with the focus on voltage tunable RF/microwave components. The over-arching goal of this review is to provide a synopsis of the current state-of the-art of complex oxide and multiferroic thin film materials and devices, identify technical issues and technical challenges that need to be overcome for successful insertion of the technology for both military and commercial applications, and provide mitigation strategies to address these technical challenges.

They calculate a tapered geometry that preserves an effective half wavelength resonance within a cavity partially loaded with an anisotropic medium. This design results in an antenna profile of λo/24, with 1.4 octaves of bandwidth, and a realised gain of 3.3-7.2 dB from 210 to 505 MHz. Using an adaption of a coaxial line to waveguide transition, which utilises two flat rectangular probes as a two-port matching network, as well as an external 180° hybrid coupler as a phase splitter, they achieve a voltage standing wave ratio of better than 2:1 across the whole band.

The solid-state switching material was integrated into our oscillator, which self-started after 16 s and performed 5 oscillations at a frequency of 1.05 Hz with 3.25 kV DC input. Our materials-by-design approach for the nickel filled polydimethylsiloxane based switch has resulted in significant improvements over previous carbon grease-based switches in four key areas, namely, sharpness of switching behavior upon applied stretch, magnitude of electrical resistance change, ease of manufacture, and production rate. Switch lifetime was demonstrated to be in the range of tens to hundreds of cycles with the current process. An interesting and potentially useful strain-based switching hysteresis behavior is also presented.

SN - 07490208 AB - Houston, J.R. and Dean, R.G., 2016. Erosional impacts of modified inlets, beach encroachment, and beach nourishment on the east coast of Florida. Most of the 21 inlets along the 588 km of sandy shoreline on the Florida east coast have been modified, primarily to improve navigation efficiency and safety. These modifications have usually caused significant downdrift shoreline erosion. Shoreline change data for the Florida east coast during the period from about 1869 to 1971, which was before widespread beach nourishment, are analyzed. Modified inlets during this period impacted about 25% of the shoreline and conservatively caused about 70% of the shoreline area recession and about 75-85% if counties are excluded that did not have modified inlets that caused net downdrift recession. During this same period of about 100 years, the remaining 75% of the shoreline advanced on average 46 m seaward. However, before Florida began regulating coastal construction, development often encroached on accreting shorelines, effectively masking much of the accretion. From about 1971 to 2007, a period of widespread beach nourishment, only about half of the nourishment sand was placed on eroding shorelines. About half was placed on shorelines that accreted or were stable from about 1869 to 1971 but where encroachment by development made the nourishment necessary. Over half of the recession caused by modified inlets still exists. The criteria used by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to designate the erosional state of Florida east coast beaches was found to be problematic, since it currently designates 65% of this shoreline as eroding when only 20% eroded during the period of widespread beach nourishment from about 1971 to 2007.

Further, the variance in the particle's position, as calculated from the post-measurement wavefunction, agrees precisely with shot-noise limited uncertainty of the measured xest. Both the identification of the absolute square of the particle's initial wavefunction as the probability density for xest and the de Broglie hypothesis emerge as consequences of interpreting the intensity of the optical field as proportional to the probability of detecting a photon. Linear momentum information that is encoded in the particle's initial wavefunction survives the measurement, and the pre-measurement expectation values are preserved in the ensemble average.

A research team from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center conducted an evaluation of eleven nondestructive technologies, including eight ground penetrating radar (GPR) devices and three wave propagation technologies, on twenty-one hot-mix asphalt concrete (AC) and nineteen portland cement concrete (PCC) test locations with varying pavement thicknesses. The different technologies were used to estimate pavement thickness over predetermined test points. For each pavement structure, a core was extracted from one of the test points to provide calibration data of each testing device for data refinement. The accuracy of each technology was quantified by calculating the absolute difference between the actual core measurement and the estimated thickness measurement. The results from the devices tested led to the conclusion that separate devices are required on AC and PCC for optimal performance. The ultrasonic tomography and impact echo devices worked best on PCC surfaces, and the 1 GHz horn antenna GPR devices performed best on AC surfaces. The side-by-side testing demonstrated the capabilities of the technologies on varying pavement structures without discrepancies that would likely occur when comparing one set of results to those from a different study.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2347 EP - 2370 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - Epoxy resins are classically toughened by rubber additives, but the effectiveness of rubber toughening tends to diminish with increasing strain rate, decreasing temperature, and decreasing matrix ductility. In this study, we demonstrate that low loadings of 100-200-nm core-shell rubber (CSR) particulate additives can improve high strain rate (10-10 s) impact resistance by nearly 200 % for epoxy resins with glass transition temperatures T in a range between 60 and 110 °C, without large reductions in T or stiffness. In addition, CSR additives improve low-temperature impact resistance of the epoxies down to 0 °C. Size and surface chemistry of the CSR particles influence the ballistic response, with 200-nm diameter, weakly bound, and poorly dispersed CSR particles providing the greatest toughening performance at low filler loadings and high rates. Impact resistance for a systematic series of CSR-modified epoxies covers a transition from brittle to tough behavior, where the failure mechanism changes with effective fracture resistance. For brittle resins, failure is dominated by initiation of Hertzian cone fracture which depends strongly on fracture toughness K, while for tough resins, failure is dominated by plastic yield at the impact site and is independent of fracture toughness above a minimum K value of approximately 1.2-1.5 MPa m. Interestingly, quasistatic mechanical properties are reasonably effective qualitative predictors of high-rate impact resistance, suggesting that the toughening mechanisms of CSR particles are similar over the rates studied here. The insights gained from this study are valuable for design of next generation adhesives, polymers, and polymer composite matrices for lightweight protective applications.

He was diagnosed with classic juvenile (type III) pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and treated with oral isotretinoin for 6 months. His skin findings resolved quickly during the treatment period, with residual postinflammatory hypopigmentation resolving within a year. PRP is rare in pediatric patients and standard recommended treatment algorithms for this population are not currently available. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for PRP are based almost exclusively on case reports or case series, most of which focus on adult patients. The presentation, evaluation, and management of PRP are discussed.

Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 181 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 265 EP - 271 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Inhalational hazards are numerous in operational environments. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate associations between deployment to Kabul, Afghanistan and subsequent respiratory health among U.S. military personnel. The study population consisted of personnel who deployed to Kabul, select Operation Enduring Freedom locations, personnel stationed in the Republic of Korea, and U.S.-stationed personnel. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated for respiratory symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A significantly elevated rate of symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions was observed among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to personnel deployed or stationed in Bagram (IRR 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.19), Republic of Korea (IRR 1.20; 95% CI, 1.10-1.31), and the United States (IRR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.43-1.62). A statistically elevated rate of asthma was observed among personnel deployed to Kabul, relative to U.S.-stationed personnel (IRR 1.61; 95% CI, 1.22-2.12). Statistically significant rates were not observed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to other study groups. These findings suggest that deployment to Kabul is associated with an elevated risk of postdeployment respiratory symptoms and new-onset asthma.

The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health.

Fluorescence at two wavelengths is detected by miniature photomultiplier tubes, each equipped with a different band pass filter, whose outputs are analyzed by a microprocessor. Photoluminescent metal oxides and hydroxides, and other semiconducting nanoparticles, often undergo changes in their emission spectra upon exposure to reactive gases, and the ratio of the PL intensities at two wavelengths is diagnostic of adsorption. Use of this instrument for reactive gas sensing and gas filtration applications is illustrated by measuring changes in the PL ratio for zirconium hydroxide and zinc oxide particles upon exposure to air containing low concentrations of sulfur dioxide.

JO - PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases JF - PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Y1 - 2016/02/26/ VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19352727 AB - Background: A vaccine to prevent infection and disease caused by Plasmodium vivax is needed both to reduce the morbidity caused by this parasite and as a key component in efforts to eradicate malaria worldwide. Vivax malaria protein 1 (VMP001), a novel chimeric protein that incorporates the amino- and carboxy- terminal regions of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) and a truncated repeat region that contains repeat sequences from both the VK210 (type 1) and the VK247 (type 2) parasites, was developed as a vaccine candidate for global use. Methods: We conducted a first-in-human Phase 1 dose escalation vaccine study with controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) of VMP001 formulated in the GSK Adjuvant System AS01B. A total of 30 volunteers divided into 3 groups (10 per group) were given 3 intramuscular injections of 15μg, 30μg, or 60μg respectively of VMP001, all formulated in 500μL of AS01B at each immunization. All vaccinated volunteers participated in a P. vivax CHMI 14 days following the third immunization. Six non-vaccinated subjects served as infectivity controls. Results: The vaccine was shown to be well tolerated and immunogenic. All volunteers generated robust humoral and cellular immune responses to the vaccine antigen. Vaccination did not induce sterile protection; however, a small but significant delay in time to parasitemia was seen in 59% of vaccinated subjects compared to the control group. An association was identified between levels of anti-type 1 repeat antibodies and prepatent period. Significance: This trial was the first to assess the efficacy of a P. vivax CSP vaccine candidate by CHMI. The association of type 1 repeat-specific antibody responses with delay in the prepatency period suggests that augmenting the immune responses to this domain may improve strain-specific vaccine efficacy. The availability of a P. vivax CHMI model will accelerate the process of P. vivax vaccine development, allowing better selection of candidate vaccines for advancement to field trials.

Both sides of these sensory benefits have long been appreciated, yet less is known of how the perception of events from the perspectives of both prey and predator can interact to influence their encounters. Here we examined how a visual sensory mechanism impacts the collective motion of prey and, subsequently, how their resulting movements influenced predator confusion and capture ability. We presented virtual prey to human players in a targeting game and measured the speed and accuracy with which participants caught designated prey. As prey paid more attention to neighbor movements their collective coordination increased, yet increases in prey coordination were positively associated with increases in the speed and accuracy of attacks. However, while attack speed was unaffected by the initial state of the prey, accuracy dropped significantly if the prey were already organized at the start of the attack, rather than in the process of self-organizing. By repeating attack scenarios and masking the targeted prey’s neighbors we were able to visually isolate them and conclusively demonstrate how visual confusion impacted capture ability. Delays in capture caused by decreased coordination amongst the prey depended upon the collection motion of neighboring prey, while it was primarily the motion of the targets themselves that determined capture accuracy. Interestingly, while a complete loss of coordination in the prey (e.g., a flash expansion) caused the greatest delay in capture, such behavior had little effect on capture accuracy. Lastly, while increases in collective coordination in prey enhanced personal risk, traveling in coordinated groups was still better than appearing alone. These findings demonstrate a trade-off between the sensory mechanisms that can enhance the collective properties that emerge in social animals and the individual group member’s predation risk during an attack.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2016/02/09/ VL - 11 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - In a cyber war game where a network is fully distributed and characterized by resource constraints and high dynamics, attackers or defenders often face a situation that may require optimal strategies to win the game with minimum effort. Given the system goal states of attackers and defenders, we study what strategies attackers or defenders can take to reach their respective system goal state (i.e., winning system state) with minimum resource consumption. However, due to the dynamics of a network caused by a node’s mobility, failure or its resource depletion over time or action(s), this optimization problem becomes NP-complete. We propose two heuristic strategies in a greedy manner based on a node’s two characteristics: resource level and influence based on k-hop reachability. We analyze complexity and optimality of each algorithm compared to optimal solutions for a small-scale static network. Further, we conduct a comprehensive experimental study for a large-scale temporal network to investigate best strategies, given a different environmental setting of network temporality and density. We demonstrate the performance of each strategy under various scenarios of attacker/defender strategies in terms of win probability, resource consumption, and system vulnerability.

T1 - Prosthetic interventions for people with transtibial amputation: Systematic review and meta-analysis of high-quality prospective literature and systematic reviews. JO - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development JF - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 53 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 157 EP - 183 PB - VA Prosthetics Research & Development Center SN - 07487711 AB - Considering transtibial amputation (TTA) rehabilitation costs and complexity, high-quality literature should inform clinical practice. Systematic reviews (SRs) suggest this is not the case. This article's purpose was to review the highest-quality evidence available to guide clinical practice for TTA regarding five prosthetic intervention areas. Six databases were searched for high-quality SRs and prospective clinical trials (randomized clinical trials [RCTs]). Reviewers screened, sorted, rated (i.e., methodologic quality, bias risk), and extracted article data. Meta-analyses were conducted when possible. Thirty-one references were included (25 RCTs and 6 SRs). Five topical areas emerged (alignment, feet and ankles, interface, postoperative care, pylons). Twenty-three evidence statements were supported by level 2 evidence and eight by level 1 evidence. All RCTs reported randomization and reasonable data presentation. Concealed allocation and blinding were not widely used. Mean attrition was 11%. SRs included no meta-analyses. Functional level was poorly reported. Grouping feet and ankle components by functional classification enabled meta-analyses, though variance was considerable given the small sample sizes. Prosthetic interventions are generally safe for TTAs. High-quality literature enabled formulation of evidence statements to support select clinical practice areas, though quantity was lacking. Thus, numerous topics related to TTA care lack rigorous evidence. Although blinding in prosthetic research requires increased funding and effort, it could greatly improve the methodologic quality of prosthetic research.

SN - 00222461 AB - Virtual diffraction is a computational technique that enables a synergistic coupling between experiments and atomistic simulations, which can help to elucidate nanoscale structure-property relationships. The research objective herein is to highlight recent advances in the use of virtual diffraction as a method to study the geometry and structure of homophase grain boundaries and heterophase interfaces with direct experimental validation. Virtual selected area diffraction patterns for two types of boundaries-homophase Al twist grain boundaries and heterophase AlO/Al interfaces-are created without a priori assumption of the periodic interface structure by computing diffraction intensities across high-resolution, 3-D reciprocal space meshes. In this work, computed diffraction patterns clearly identify Al grain boundary misorientation angles, reveal subsidiary peaks created by the dislocation arrays within select Al grain boundaries, and allow experimental validation of the minimum energy orientation relationship for the AlO/Al interface. Due to its advanced implementation, virtual diffraction characterization used throughout this work can be easily extended providing routes for similar analysis and experimental validation of atomistic simulations.

The system is described as an unstable first order filter subject to occasional switching of a set point according to a feedback rule. The system qualitatively differs from other recently studied solvable chaotic hybrid systems in that the timing of the switching is regulated by an external clock. The chaotic analytic solution is an optimal waveform for communications in noise when a resistor-capacitor-integrate- and-dump filter is used as a receiver. As such, these results provide evidence in support of a recent conjecture that the optimal communication waveform for any stable infinite-impulse response filter is chaotic.

Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2016/01/28/ VL - 17 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 20 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: A very large and rapidly growing collection of transcriptomic profiles in public repositories is potentially of great value to developing data-driven bioinformatics applications for toxicology/ecotoxicology. Modeled on human connectivity mapping (Cmap) in biomedical research, this study was undertaken to investigate the utility of an analogous Cmap approach in ecotoxicology. Over 3500 zebrafish (Danio rerio) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) transcriptomic profiles, each associated with one of several dozen chemical treatment conditions, were compiled into three distinct collections of rank-ordered gene lists (ROGLs) by species and microarray platforms. Individual query signatures, each consisting of multiple gene probes differentially expressed in a chemical condition, were used to interrogate the reference ROGLs. Results: Informative connections were established at high success rates within species when, as defined by their mechanisms of action (MOAs), both query signatures and ROGLs were associated with the same or similar chemicals. Thus, a simple query signature functioned effectively as an exposure biomarker without need for a time-consuming process of development and validation. More importantly, a large reference database of ROGLs also enabled a query signature to cross-interrogate other chemical conditions with overlapping MOAs, leading to novel groupings and subgroupings of seemingly unrelated chemicals at a finer resolution. This approach confirmed the identities of several estrogenic chemicals, as well as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and a neuro-toxin, in the largely uncharacterized water samples near several waste water treatment plants, and thus demonstrates its future potential utility in real world applications. Conclusions: The power of Cmap should grow as chemical coverages of ROGLs increase, making it a framework easily scalable in the future. The feasibility of toxicity extrapolation across fish species using Cmap needs more study, however, as more gene expression profiles linked to chemical conditions common to multiple fish species are needed.

SN - 09205691 AB - We extend the classical notion of computational visual saliency to multi-image data collected using a stationary pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera by introducing the concept of consistency: the requirement that the set of generated saliency maps should each assign the same saliency value to unique regions of the environment that appear in more than one image. We show that processing each image independently will often fail to provide a consistent measure of saliency, and that using an image mosaic to quantify saliency suffers from several drawbacks. We then propose ray saliency and an immediate extension, approximate ray saliency: a mosaic-free method for calculating a consistent measure of bottom-up saliency. Experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach are presented.

T1 - Predicting Fecundity of Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas) Exposed to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Using a MATLAB®-Based Model of Oocyte Growth Dynamics. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2016/01/12/ VL - 11 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 26 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Fish spawning is often used as an integrated measure of reproductive toxicity, and an indicator of aquatic ecosystem health in the context of forecasting potential population-level effects considered important for ecological risk assessment. Consequently, there is a need for flexible, widely-applicable, biologically-based models that can predict changes in fecundity in response to chemical exposures, based on readily measured biochemical endpoints, such as plasma vitellogenin (VTG) concentrations, as input parameters. Herein we describe a MATLAB® version of an oocyte growth dynamics model for fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) with a graphical user interface based upon a previously published model developed with MCSim software and evaluated with data from fathead minnows exposed to an androgenic chemical, 17β-trenbolone. We extended the evaluation of our new model to include six chemicals that inhibit enzymes involved in steroid biosynthesis: fadrozole, ketoconazole, propiconazole, prochloraz, fenarimol, and trilostane. In addition, for unexposed fathead minnows from group spawning design studies, and those exposed to the six chemicals, we evaluated whether the model is capable of predicting the average number of eggs per spawn and the average number of spawns per female, which was not evaluated previously. The new model is significantly improved in terms of ease of use, platform independence, and utility for providing output in a format that can be used as input into a population dynamics model. Model-predicted minimum and maximum cumulative fecundity over time encompassed the observed data for fadrozole and most propiconazole, prochloraz, fenarimol and trilostane treatments, but did not consistently replicate results from ketoconazole treatments. For average fecundity (eggs•female-1•day-1), eggs per spawn, and the number of spawns per female, the range of model-predicted values generally encompassed the experimentally observed values. Overall, we found that the model predicts reproduction metrics robustly and its predictions capture the variability in the experimentally observed data.

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 17 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 73 EP - 98 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - Continental-domain assessments of climate change impacts on water resources typically rely on statistically downscaled climate model outputs to force hydrologic models at a finer spatial resolution. This study examines the effects of four statistical downscaling methods [bias-corrected constructed analog (BCCA), bias-corrected spatial disaggregation applied at daily (BCSDd) and monthly scales (BCSDm), and asynchronous regression (AR)] on retrospective hydrologic simulations using three hydrologic models with their default parameters (the Community Land Model, version 4.0; the Variable Infiltration Capacity model, version 4.1.2; and the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System, version 3.0.4) over the contiguous United States (CONUS). Biases of hydrologic simulations forced by statistically downscaled climate data relative to the simulation with observation-based gridded data are presented. Each statistical downscaling method produces different meteorological portrayals including precipitation amount, wet-day frequency, and the energy input (i.e., shortwave radiation), and their interplay affects estimations of precipitation partitioning between evapotranspiration and runoff, extreme runoff, and hydrologic states (i.e., snow and soil moisture). The analyses show that BCCA underestimates annual precipitation by as much as −250 mm, leading to unreasonable hydrologic portrayals over the CONUS for all models. Although the other three statistical downscaling methods produce a comparable precipitation bias ranging from −10 to 8 mm across the CONUS, BCSDd severely overestimates the wet-day fraction by up to 0.25, leading to different precipitation partitioning compared to the simulations with other downscaled data. Overall, the choice of downscaling method contributes to less spread in runoff estimates (by a factor of 1.5-3) than the choice of hydrologic model with use of the default parameters if BCCA is excluded.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 24 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 26 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - Unlike most laboratory studies, rigorous quality assurance/quality control ( QA/ QC) procedures may be lacking in ecosystem restoration ('ecorestoration') projects, despite legislative mandates in the United States. This is due, in part, to ecorestoration specialists making the false assumption that some types of data (e.g. discrete variables such as species identification and abundance classes) are not subject to evaluations of data quality. Moreover, emergent behavior manifested by complex, adapting, and nonlinear organizations responsible for monitoring the success of ecorestoration projects tend to unconsciously minimize disorder, QA/ QC being an activity perceived as creating disorder. We discuss similarities and differences in assessing precision and accuracy for field and laboratory data. Although the concepts for assessing precision and accuracy of ecorestoration field data are conceptually the same as laboratory data, the manner in which these data quality attributes are assessed is different. From a sample analysis perspective, a field crew is comparable to a laboratory instrument that requires regular 'recalibration,' with results obtained by experts at the same plot treated as laboratory calibration standards. Unlike laboratory standards and reference materials, the 'true' value for many field variables is commonly unknown. In the laboratory, specific QA/ QC samples assess error for each aspect of the measurement process, whereas field revisits assess precision and accuracy of the entire data collection process following initial calibration. Rigorous QA/ QC data in an ecorestoration project are essential for evaluating the success of a project, and they provide the only objective 'legacy' of the dataset for potential legal challenges and future uses.

SN - 07490208 AB - Cheng, J.; Wang, P., and Smith, E.R., 2016. Hydrodynamic conditions associated with an onshore migrating and stable sandbar. In this study, large-scale three-dimensional laboratory data were analyzed to identify the hydrodynamic conditions associated with the onshore migration of a sandbar and the subsequent equilibrium state of a stable bar. The initial sandbar was constructed offshore and out of equilibrium, with a symmetrical shape. The bar became asymmetrical as it migrated onshore. As the rate of onshore migration slowed, the bar was restored to a symmetrical shape toward an equilibrium state. Wave and near-bottom velocity across the surf zone were measured during the onshore sandbar migration. The near-bottom velocity skewness analyzed wave by wave indicates that before the sandbar reached equilibrium, the velocity was skewed offshore in the nearshore region and was skewed onshore seaward of the bar. However, the velocity skewness pattern reversed when the beach profile reached equilibrium and the sandbar became stable. The location of maximum undertow velocity moved from nearshore to the bar crest as the sandbar evolved toward equilibrium. Furthermore, the peak onshore-directed acceleration was greater than the peak offshore-directed acceleration throughout the surf zone during the periods of both onshore migrating and stable sandbar. The maximum difference between the onshore- and the offshore-directed acceleration occurred at the seaward side of the bar crest. The analyses of the hydrodynamic conditions associated with sandbar movement in a controlled laboratory experiment provide insights on the mechanisms of sandbar migration.

Statistical analysis of historical extreme water levels for the U.S. North Atlantic coast using Monte Carlo life-cycle simulation. A statistical analysis of extreme water levels was performed for 23 locations throughout the U.S. North Atlantic coast. Extreme value analysis, which focused on historical observations, was followed by the application of a Monte Carlo life-cycle simulation methodology. This study was part of a broader effort to quantify coastal flooding hazards in this region. Twenty-three stations were selected based on location and record length, meeting the requirement of a minimum of 30 years of hourly water-level measurements. Monthly maxima data were also used to complement the hourly water-level observations. The use of available water-level data was maximized through the development of partial duration series that combined both monthly maxima and hourly data. A generalized Pareto distribution was used to fit combined partial duration series corresponding to each of the 23 locations. The Monte Carlo life-cycle methodology was used to simulate 10,000 cycles of 100 years each, effectively extending the record lengths of extreme events through statistical simulation. A bootstrapping technique was used as part of Monte Carlo life-cycle simulation in order to develop probability distributions of extreme water levels, including mean, as well as 10% and 90% nonexceedance confidence limits (equivalent to an 80% confidence interval). Water-level probabilities determined in this study were compared to results from a previous effort where the generalized extreme value distribution was used to fit monthly maxima data.

Unfortunately, these new designs often do not take into account preventive procedures to avoid thermal bridging effects, which are localized heat flow between the building interior and exterior. These effects become much more significant as buildings are designed to be highly insulated and better sealed against air leakage. Researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center--Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) visited several Army installations and used infrared imaging to survey buildings to identify places in the building envelope where thermal bridging commonly occurs. Characteristic construction sections were selected for heat transfer modeling to quantify and qualify the thermal bridging impact and develop general mitigation solutions. This manuscript presents examples of the developed U.S. Army ERDC-CERL Thermal Bridge Mitigation Catalog, which includes architectural details thermal bridge modeling values (Ψ-values and U-factors), and schematics of good construction practices to improve the building envelope performance of typical Army facilities. In addition, this work highlights specific and simple-to-follow mitigation strategies plus visual step-by-step sequencing examples to be used by the construction practitioner for the assembly of a properly mitigated thermal bridge detail in the building envelope.

JO - ASHRAE Transactions JF - ASHRAE Transactions Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 122 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 44 EP - 57 PB - ASHRAE SN - 00012505 AB - One of the critical tasks of the International Energy Agency's Energy Conservation in Buildings and Communities Program's (IEC ECBC's) Annex 61 Business and Technical Concepts for Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) of Public Buildings is to develop bundles of core technologies (measures), which, when applied in major renovation projects to older, pre-1980 buildings, allow site energy reduction by 50% or better compared to the pre-renovation baseline. A short list of these technologies has been generated through analysis of DER projects (Zhivov et al. 2015). Characteristics of some of these "core technologies" depend on technologies available on an individual nation's market, minimum requirements of national standards, and life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis. In addition to these factors, requirements for building envelope-related technologies (e.g., insulation levels, windows), depend on specific climate conditions. This paper presents the results of computational modeling analysis conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center team to determine the performance potential of the core technologies for two categories of buildings with relatively low internal loads in 15 U.S. climates using the net zero planner tool. This tool enabled simultaneous simulation of multiple building types and multiple technology bundles of energy efficiency measures in different climate zones. This research supported development of requirements for building envelope characteristics and typical equipment best practices for DER projects. Information presented in the paper along with results of similar studies conducted in Denmark, Estonia, Austria, Germany, China, and the UK (Riel et al. 2016; Yao et al. 2016; Zhivov 2016) for their nation-specific climate conditions have been used to develop general guidelines for technology bundles to be used in DER projects (Zhivov et al. 2016). Results of these studies show that 50% of site energy use reduction can be achieved in most climate conditions usingalimitednumberof technologies readily available on the market. It is easier to reduce energy consumption in heating-dominated climates than in climates requiring coolingandhumidity control. Additional energy efficiency technologies and measures specific to the building type and use, as well as to specific climate conditions, can further reduce energy use intensity of the building and allow achievement of even higher performance buildings (e.g., passive house standard or even net zero energy).

JO - ASHRAE Transactions JF - ASHRAE Transactions Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 122 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 22 EP - 43 PB - ASHRAE SN - 00012505 AB - Numerous pilot projects conducted all over the world have demonstrated that energy use in commercial and public buildings can been reduced by more than 50% after renovation. In fact, some renovated building shavemet the Passive House Institute energy efficiency standard or have even achieved a net zero energy state (Zhivov et al. 2015). Research (IEA 2009;ASHRAE 2015) has identified more than 400 energy efficiency measures that can be used when buildings are retrofitted. Such measures include those related to the building envelope, mechanical and lighting systems, energy generation and distribution, and internal processes. Implementation of some individual measures (such as building envelope insulation, improved airtightness, andcogeneration)cansignificantlyreducebuilding heatingand cooling loads or minimize energy waste, but require significant investments with long paybacks. However, when a limited number of core technologies are implemented together ("bundled"), they can significantly reduce energy use for a smaller investment and thereby provide a faster payback. Characteristics of some of these core technology measures depend on the technologies available on an individual nation's market, on the minimum requirements of national standards, and on economics (as determined by a life cycle cost [LCC] analysis). In addition to these measures, requirements related to building envelope-related technologies (e.g., insulation levels, windows, vapor and water barriers, and requirements for building airtightness) depend on specific climate conditions. National teams associated with the International Energy Agency Energy Conservation in Buildings and Communities Program (IEA EBC) Annex 61, Business and Technical Concepts for Deep Energy Retrofit of Public Buildings (EBC 2015), have studied such conditions by computer simulation (Case et al. 2016; Rose et al. 2016; Riel et al. 2016; Yao et al. 2016). This paper summarizes the results of these studies, which will be used in an IEA Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) Programme Annex 61, Deep Energy Retrofit--Case Studies (IEA 2015). The key to making a deep energy retrofit(DER)cost effective is to time the retrofit as part of a major building renovation that already has allocated funds, including those required to meet minimum energy requirements. Since there is an overlap between the funds allocated for the retrofit and those required for the DER, achieving the DER requires only an incremental cost because the DER is evaluated based on a bundle of core technologies, not on individual energy efficiency measures. To evaluate the cost effectiveness of DER project using bundles of core technologies, compared to a typical major building renovation based on minimum energy requirements, this paper proposes the use of net present value (NPV) of the differences in energy savings, maintenance, and insurance costs and other operational costs and revenues to estimate the budget increase limit, which makes the DER project LCC effective. Since most of parameters required for an LCC analysis differ not only by the individual country but also within the country (first costs and labor rates, energy rates, life of the project, and inflation and discount rates), the concept of scalar Ratio (McBride 1995) is used to calculate limitations in renovation budget increase.

The benefits and burdens of modularity are considered by studying historical programs dating back to World War II. Using a taxonomy developed at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, vehicles were considered based on horizontal modularity, vertical modularity, and distributed modularity. Examples were given for each type, including the most extensive attempt at horizontal modularity in the 1980s, known as the Armored Family of Vehicles. Following these examples, various cost/benefit studies over the life cycle of the vehicle are reviewed with differing conclusions depending on the initial assumptions. Finally, a number of design factors are included that should be considered in any program on modular vehicles, as well as some recent initiatives that guide the path forward.

The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

Of special concern are the effects on women serving in direct combat jobs, as well as in any specialties operating in a hostile environment. Drawing on previous research, the model considers and gives examples of how a woman's well-being is affected by events in her military career, her family life, and other areas of life. The article emphasizes the effects of intersections of multiple events, as well as how the effects on well-being are mediated or moderated by other factors, including individual characteristics, military contextual variables, and resources. The analysis also includes the impacts of preventative and treatment interventions, as well as of policies, programs, and practices. Based on the model and on previous research, questions for future research are posed.

Biological function, dietary sources, and requirements will be reviewed, and recommendations for women in combat roles will be provided. Iron, essential for physical and cognitive performance, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements as compared to male Warfighters, as well as declines in iron status that may occur in response to physical activities, such as military training. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health, and should be considered in efforts to prevent stress fractures, which occur with greater frequency in female Warfighters as compared to their male counterparts. Folate, essential for the prevention of neural tube defects during pregnancy and gestation, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements before pregnancy. Providing optimal levels of these nutrients will facilitate readiness as women prepare to serve in combat roles.

However, there are few studies examining group-level influences in the military and none using group-level analyses. Such studies are essential for understanding how to optimally forestall or cease smoking. This study, using mixed effects modelling, examined whether unit membership influenced smoking behavior in soldiers from brigade combat teams. Unit membership was assessed in 2008 to 2009 at the company level (n = 2204) and in 2012 at the platoon level (n = 452). Smoking was assessed by the number of daily cigarettes smoked (range: 0-99) with smoking status (nonsmoker vs. smoker) and smoking level (none, smoker, and heavy [20 + cigarettes/day]) as the outcomes. For both samples, unit membership was not significantly associated with a soldier's propensity to smoke when comparing either all smokers to nonsmokers or heavy smokers to smokers. These results suggest typical military unit-level training programs are unlikely to be the most effective mode of intervention for smoking prevention or cessation. Smoking rates in the military may be influenced instead by small group or individual relationships or by overall military culture.

Two different CFD solvers are applied in different parts of the computational domain: a body-fitted unstructured solver near the blade surface to capture complex geometry and viscous boundary layer and a high-order block-structured Cartesian solver away from the blade to capture the wake. The Cartesian solver applies adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) to resolve tip vortices. Results are demonstrated for calculations of the Tilt Rotor Aero-acoustics Model (TRAM) isolated rotor. The results show that the dual-mesh scheme is able to compute aerodynamic figure of merit performance to within the experimental error bounds with appropriate mesh resolution. Solution-driven AMR is found to be effective for resolving the vortex wake in an automated manner at significantly less computational cost compared to fixed-grid calculations with the same resolution.

Recognizing this, tests were conducted during the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory 3D-LZ Brownout Test at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground. Photogrammetry was utilized during two rounds of flight tests with an instrumented EH-60L Black Hawk to determine whether this technique could quantitatively measure the formation and evolution of a brownout cloud. Specific areas of interest included the location, size, and average convective velocity of the cloud, along with the characteristics of any defined structures within the cloud. Following the first flight test, photogrammetric data were validated through comparison with onboard vehicle data. Lessons learned from this test were applied to the development of an improved photogrammetry system. A second flight test, using the improved system, demonstrated that obtaining quantitative measurements of the brownout cloud is possible. Results from these measurements are presented. Flow visualization with chalk dust seeding was also tested to gain additional insight on the particle pickup process. Based on the amount of chalk removed during the landings, the pickup forces of the brownout cloud appear to be very low. Overall, these tests demonstrate the viability of photogrammetry as a means for quantifying brownout cloud formation and evolution.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2013/09/28/ VL - 114 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 124903 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - We investigate the possibility of creating an intermediate band semiconductor by supersaturating Si with a range of transition metals (Au, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pd, Pt, W, and Zn) using ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting (PLM). Structural characterization shows evidence of either surface segregation or cellular breakdown in all transition metals investigated, preventing the formation of high supersaturations. However, concentration-depth profiling reveals that regions of Si supersaturated with Au and Zn are formed below the regions of cellular breakdown. Fits to the concentration-depth profile are used to estimate the diffusive speeds, vD, of Au and Zn, and put lower bounds on vD of the other metals ranging from 102 to 104 m/s. Knowledge of vD is used to tailor the irradiation conditions and synthesize single-crystal Si supersaturated with 1019 Au/cm3 without cellular breakdown. Values of vD are compared to those for other elements in Si. Two independent thermophysical properties, the solute diffusivity at the melting temperature, Ds(Tm), and the equilibrium partition coefficient, ke, are shown to simultaneously affect vD. We demonstrate a correlation between vD and the ratio Ds(Tm)/ke0.67, which is exhibited for Group III, IV, and V solutes but not for the transition metals investigated. Nevertheless, comparison with experimental results suggests that Ds(Tm)/ke0.67 might serve as a metric for evaluating the potential to supersaturate Si with transition metals by PLM.

It is capable of forming efficient electrical and thermal interconnects as well as bonded-microstrip waveguide structures. Accurate means of characterizing the electrical, thermal, and microwave properties of these structures are necessary to enable heterogeneous monolithic microwave integrated circuits (HMMICs). This article describes a bond layer thermal conductivity measurement method, a bond-metal microstrip microwave waveguide characterization method, and the fabrication method developed to support the measurement structures. As a result, an In-Pd bond alloy thermal conductivity of 2.51 W/(m K) was measured for GaAs devices bonded to Si. Also, an optimized bonded-microstrip waveguide was simulated based upon measured microwave results of the measurement structure, projecting a 0.56 dB/mm loss, a microwave index of 2.91, and a characteristic impedance of 41.3+6i Ω at 15 GHz, thus advocating this approach as a means of realizing high power HMMICs.

JO - Chemico-Biological Interactions JF - Chemico-Biological Interactions Y1 - 2017/03/25/ VL - 266 M3 - Article SP - 38 EP - 46 SN - 00092797 AB - Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells located within various adult tissues. Recent literature has reported that human bone marrow-derived MSCs express active acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and that disruption of AChE activity by organophosphate (OP) chemicals decreases the ability of MSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts. The potential role of AChE in regulating MSC proliferation and differentiation is currently unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that MSCs exposed to OPs have both decreased AChE activity and abundance. In addition, exposure to these OPs induced cellular death while decreasing cellular proliferation. Exposures to these compounds also reduced the adipogenic/osteogenic differentiation potentials of the MSCs. To elucidate the possible role of AChE in MSCs signaling following OP exposure, we captured potential AChE binding partners by performing polyhistidine (His 8 )-tagged AChE pulldowns, followed by protein identification using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Using this method, we determined that the focal adhesion protein, vinculin, is a potential binding partner with AChE in MSCs and these initial findings were confirmed with follow-up co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Identifying AChE binding partners helps to determine potential pathways associated with MSC proliferation and differentiation, and this understanding could lead to the development of future MSC-based tissue repair therapies.

To measure the transport of NTO in soils, we conducted miscible-displacement experiments under steady state and interrupted flow conditions using eight soils having varying physical and geochemical properties. The breakthrough curve (BTC) data were analyzed using temporal moment analysis and simulated using HYDRUS-1D to determine transport parameters and better understand the mechanisms of sorption and transformation. Parameters determined from the miscible-displacement study were compared to results obtained from batch experiments conducted for the same soils, and examined in relation to soil properties. Column NTO linear adsorption coefficients ( K d ) were low and correlated well (P = 0.000049) with measurements from the batch studies. NTO transformation rate constants increased and NTO recovery decreased with increase in soil organic carbon (OC) content. Autoclaved soils had slower transformation rates and greater NTO recoveries indicating that microorganisms play a role in NTO transformation. In addition, the transformation rate increased with time in soils with higher OC. Monod-type kinetics was implemented in HYDRUS-1D to simulate the observed increase in transformation rate with time. We think this phenomenon is due to bacterial growth. Results indicate very low adsorption of NTO in a range of soils, but natural attenuation through transformation that, depending on soil OC content and hydraulic residence time, could result in complete removal of NTO.

JO - Journal of Neuroscience Methods JF - Journal of Neuroscience Methods Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 279 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 71 SN - 01650270 AB - Background During an experimental session, behavioral performance fluctuates, yet most neuroimaging analyses of functional connectivity derive a single connectivity pattern. These conventional connectivity approaches assume that since the underlying behavior of the task remains constant, the connectivity pattern is also constant. New method We introduce a novel method, behavior-regressed connectivity (BRC), to directly examine behavioral fluctuations within an experimental session and capture their relationship to changes in functional connectivity. This method employs the weighted phase lag index (WPLI) applied to a window of trials with a weighting function. Using two datasets, the BRC results are compared to conventional connectivity results during two time windows: the one second before stimulus onset to identify predictive relationships, and the one second after onset to capture task-dependent relationships. Results In both tasks, we replicate the expected results for the conventional connectivity analysis, and extend our understanding of the brain-behavior relationship using the BRC analysis, demonstrating subject-specific BRC maps that correspond to both positive and negative relationships with behavior. Comparison with Existing Method(s): Conventional connectivity analyses assume a consistent relationship between behaviors and functional connectivity, but the BRC method examines performance variability within an experimental session to understand dynamic connectivity and transient behavior. Conclusion The BRC approach examines connectivity as it covaries with behavior to complement the knowledge of underlying neural activity derived from conventional connectivity analyses. Within this framework, BRC may be implemented for the purpose of understanding performance variability both within and between participants.

According to our model, certain originally electrically “inactive” oxygen vacancies are structurally transformed into electrically “active” defects in the presence of strong negative bias and temperature. These newly generated defect configurations function as short-lived or long-lived switching oxide hole traps. The transients of their generation process are shown to correlate well with the measured “short-term” threshold voltage instability. Additionally, we show that the long-lived defects continue to degrade the room-temperature reliability of these devices even after stress removal.

In the two stage process; first, grain growth is simulated via a traditional Q-State Monte Carlo method, taking into account isotropic grain boundary energies. Second, the grain growth results are incorporated within an electric polarization model, combining contributions from a three component Hamiltonian, including the electrostatic potential, nearest neighbor electrical interactions, and electrostatic energy. Among other findings, the results suggest a strong correlation between electric polarization and grain size, particularly at relatively large electric field frequencies.

JO - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP JF - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 84 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 53 SN - 02732300 AB - It is difficult to determine if certain dietary supplements are safe for human consumption. Extracts of leaves of Ginkgo biloba trees are dietary supplements used for various purported therapeutic benefits. However, recent studies reported they increased risk of liver cancer in rodents. Therefore, this study assessed the association between ginkgo consumption and liver function using NHANES 2001–2012 data (N = 29,684). Since alcohol is known to adversely affect liver function, association of its consumption with liver function was also assessed. Alcohol and ginkgo extract intake of adult consumers and clinical markers of liver function (alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin) were examined. Moderate consumers of alcohol (0.80 ± 0.02 drinks/day) had higher levels of aspartate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyl transferase than non-consumers (P < 0.001). There was no difference (P > 0.01) in levels of markers of liver function in 616 ginkgo consumers (65.1 ± 4.4 mg/day intake) compared to non-consumers. While moderate alcohol consumption was associated with changes in markers of liver function, ginkgo intake as typically consumed by U.S. adults was not associated with these markers. Biomarkers measured by NHANES may be useful to examine potential adverse effects of dietary supplements for which insufficient human adverse event and toxicity data are available. Trial registration number Not applicable, as this is secondary analysis of publicly released observational data (NHANES 2001–2012).

This paper summarizes the steps involved in accurately representing the offshore wave climate for the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) domain, defined from the United States-Canadian border in Maine to the Virginia-North Carolina border. The motivation of the regional wave modeling is to provide offshore boundary conditions for the simulation of extreme extratropical and synthetic tropical events to drive the nearshore wave and surge modeling efforts within the NACCS. The offshore wave conditions were estimated using the third-generation WAve Modelling (WAM) model. Value-added wind fields were defined for each of the four wave model grids (North Atlantic Ocean Basin, U.S. Coastal Regional scale, and two subregional-scale grid systems covering the NACCS coastal domain). Five tropical events (Hurricanes Sandy, Irene, Isabel, and Gloria and Tropical Storm Josephine) and 17 extratropical events were simulated to evaluate WAM's performance. Model results were compared with 30 point-source measurements available during these storm events. Time, scatter, and quartile-quartile plots; Taylor diagrams; and a battery of statistical tests were used in the evaluation process. The WAM provided quality zero-moment wave height estimates, with biases in the range of -0.07 to -0.14 m, RMS errors (RMSEs) of about 0.40 m, scatter indexes (SIs) around 25%, and a correlation of 0.95 compared with the measurements. The wave period results contained the greatest errors with peak period biases of -0.26 to 0.06 s, RMSEs from 2.4 to 2.7 s, SIs near 25%, and a correlation between 0.47 and 0.59. The mean period biases were about -0.70s,RMSEs were about 1.5 s, and there was a correlation of 0.6-0.7. The mean wave direction biases ranged from 4.5 to -0.34° with RMSEs of 55°.

Aiming to eliminate the pre-lithiation step, we propose an in-situ lithiation concept by introducing a Li + ion source material into the positive electrode to enable the lithiation to be completed in the formation cycle. In this paper we start with the fundamental principle of LICs to discuss the requirements for Li + ion source materials and demonstrate this concept by employing Li-rich Li 2 CuO 2 as the Li + ion source material, natural graphite and activated carbon (AC) as the negative and positive electrode materials. It is shown that the LICs made such behave as a pure capacitor with ability to deliver the same level of specific capacity and specific capacitance, i.e., 56 mAh g −1 and 143 F g −1 vs. the mass of AC in the voltage range between 2.8 V and 4.2 V, as those obtained from the counterpart Li/AC half-cell. The present concept is also applicable to other LICs with the negative electrode required to be pre-lithiated.

JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 126 M3 - Article SP - 564 EP - 575 SN - 13596454 AB - Nb solute behavior and its effect on grain size stabilization in Cu-Nb alloys was studied using a combination of Vickers hardness testing, x-ray diffraction measurements, transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography (APT). Cu-Nb alloys with concentrations in the range of 1 to 10 at.% Nb were studied after annealing at 400 °C and 800 °C. The grain growth resistance at both temperatures increased with an increase in Nb solute content. For instance, after annealing at 800 °C (0.74 T m ), Cu-1Nb, Cu-5Nb and Cu-10Nb have a grain size that is ∼8, ∼14 and ∼14 times respectively smaller than that of unalloyed Cu. This resistance is attributed to the formation of Nb-oxide-based clusters, elemental Nb segregation zones and large elemental (Nb)-based precipitates as observed by APT. The Nb-oxide-based clusters are the precursors of phase separation and form due to a reaction with oxygen, which is a contaminant from the milling process. Once the oxygen is consumed, the process continues and the grain boundaries accumulate more solute and begin to thicken into elemental Nb segregation zones. Eventually, Nb solute phase separates and forms Nb-based precipitates. After annealing at 400 °C and 800 °C, Cu-5Nb has a hardness which is approximately 2.5 times and 3 times respectively that of the hardness of unalloyed Cu after an equivalent anneal. This increase has been attributed to Hall-Petch strengthening and precipitation strengthening.

JO - Journal of Mechanical Design JF - Journal of Mechanical Design Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 139 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 10500472 AB - The conventional reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) methods assume that a simulation model is able to represent the real physics accurately. However, this assumption may not always hold as the simulation model could be biased. Accordingly, designed product based on the conventional RBDO optimum may either not satisfy the target reliability or be overly conservative design. Therefore, simulation model validation using output experimental data, which corrects model bias, should be integrated in the RBDO process. With particular focus on RBDO, the model validation needs to account for the uncertainty induced by insufficient experimental data as well as the inherent variability of the products. In this paper, a confidence-based model validation method that captures the variability and the uncertainty, and that corrects model bias at a user-specified target confidence level, has been developed. The developed model validation helps RBDO to obtain a conservative RBDO optimum design at the target confidence level. The RBDO with model validation may have a convergence issue because the feasible domain changes as the design moves (i.e., a moving-target problem). To resolve the issue, a practical optimization procedure is proposed. Furthermore, the efficiency is achieved by carrying out deterministic design optimization (DDO) and RBDO without model validation, followed by RBDO with confidence-based model validation. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed RBDO approach can achieve a conservative and practical optimum design given a limited number of experimental data.

The method is demonstrated using a multi-story shear building supported by a rigid disk foundation resting atop a uniform soil half-space and subjected to a horizontal ground motion. The soil-foundation-structure system's equations of motion are numerically integrated to determine its time-history response. The results are verified through comparison to those obtained both through frequency domain analyses and through sampling of the foundation impedance functions at a representative frequency. Numerical stability of the method is examined both analytically and numerically; and it was determined that the stability of the filter and the stability of the time-stepping method adopted do not guarantee that their combination will be stable as well.

JO - Automatica JF - Automatica Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 77 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 30 SN - 00051098 AB - Consensus-based algorithms for distributed Kalman filtering of the state of a dynamical target agent have attracted considerable research and attention during the past decade. In these filters, it is required for all agents to reach consensus about their estimates of the state of a target node. Distributed filtering techniques for sensor networks require less computation per sensor node and result in more robust estimation since they only use information from an agent’s neighbors in a network. However, poor local sensor node estimates caused by limited observability, network topologies that restrict allowable communications, and communication noises between sensors are challenging issues not yet fully resolved in the framework of distributed Kalman consensus filters. This paper confronts these issues by introducing a novel distributed information-weighted Kalman consensus filter (IKCF) algorithm for sensor networks in a continuous-time setting. It is formally proven using Lyapunov techniques that, using the new distributed IKCF, the estimates of all sensors reach converge to consensus values that give locally optimal estimates of the state of the target. A new measurement model is selected that only depends on local information available at each node based on the prescribed communication topology, wherein all the estimates of neighbor sensors are weighted by their inverse-covariance matrices. Locally optimal solutions are then derived for the proposed distributed IKCF considering channel noises in the consensus terms. Moreover, if the target has a nonzero control input, a method is giving of incorporating estimates of the target’s unknown input. Simulation case studies show that the proposed distributed IKCF outperforms other methods in the literature.

JO - Studies in Conflict & Terrorism JF - Studies in Conflict & Terrorism Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 190 SN - 1057610X AB - The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)'s flagship English-language magazine,Dabiq, is a puzzle. The magazine is not, despite appearances, primarily designed for direct recruiting efforts or inciting violence against the West. In fact, the primary audiences ofDabiqare English-speaking second generation Muslims or converts, Western policymakers, and a third group of current or would-be members of ISIS who are not integrating with the organization itself. The third audience—those members who are failing to function within the organization—is strange to include in an English-language magazine. Why publish organizational weaknesses, in English? One possibility for this puzzle is that the fundamentalist hermeneutics of ISIS is reflected in their own media efforts. One of the assumptions that ISIS holds about their sacred texts is that each text carries a single meaning that reflects the author's original intent. There might be multiple applications of that intent, but each text can only have one intent, and therefore one meaning. Following this logic, a message meant for one person is unlikely to be of utility for another, and so this may be why ISIS exposes their weaknesses as part of the process of correcting their own members.

JO - Journal of Catalysis JF - Journal of Catalysis Y1 - 2017/03// VL - 347 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 00219517 AB - The growth of oxygenated carbonaceous (oxy-carbon) species on the surface of Pt/Al 2 O 3 during total oxidation of propane is analyzed in detail—including their composition, their location on the catalyst surface, their reactivity, and their role in the propane oxidation mechanism—by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Platinum nanoparticles catalyze the transformation of propane into many different oxy-carbon surface species, including acetate, enolate, aliphatic ester, and acetone, which spillover and grow on the Al 2 O 3 support. There is no correlation between the concentration of oxy-carbon surface species and the rate of CO 2 production in the gas-phase, which indicates that these species are inert spectators in the propane oxidation mechanism. Temperature-programmed oxidation of the oxy-carbon surface species reveals that enolate, aliphatic ester, and acetone species are removed from the surface by combustion at similar temperatures with an activation barrier of 112 kJ/mol, whereas acetate species are removed at higher temperatures with an activation barrier of 147 kJ/mol. Both the formation and combustion of oxy-carbon surface species occur in pathways that are parallel to, and orders-of-magnitude slower than, the main pathway to CO 2 production.

For equal thicknesses of crystalline and noncrystalline regions, similar stress-strain profiles were obtained with two different initial orientations of the crystal stem relative to the tensile direction. Repeated melting/recrystallization transitions were observed, at the slower strain rate of 5 × 106 s-1, characterized by oscillating stress-strain profiles. With increasing thickness of the crystalline regions, these oscillations occurred less frequently. For systems with initially tilted chain stems in the crystalline domain, decreasing the thickness of the noncrystalline region increased the number of short bridge segments in the noncrystalline region connecting the two crystalline regions and induced significant shear stresses, rearrangements in the crystalline region, and the strain hardening during the tensile deformation.

Aluminum matrix syntactic foams with carbon fabric skins are studied. Syntactic foams incorporate porosity in their foam-like structure by means of hollow particles. The material examined here is composed of a core made of aluminum A356 matrix filled with alumina hollow particles. Two types of sandwich composites are studied containing: (a) a single layer of carbon fabric and (b) three layers of the same fabric in 0°/90° orientation. Dynamic characterization was conducted using a free vibration method to determine the resonant frequency of the sandwich beams. The dynamic modulus, storage modulus, loss modulus and damping ratio were calculated from the test results. The experimental results were used to validate the predictions of a theoretical model. The experimental values for Young's modulus of one- and three-layer fabric sandwiches were measured to be 32.57 ± 2.15 and 37.33 ± 1.12 GPa, respectively. The experimental results are in close agreement with the theoretical model.

Curvature in the yarn provides stretchability, making them well suited for garments that will cover areas of the body that require large relative motion. Although most current soft armors are composed of woven textiles, knitted fabrics made of aramid fibers such as Kevlar may have application for use in soft armor to provide a larger range of motion in addition to protection. However, their ballistic performance has not been well characterized. The goal of this work is to develop a computational framework to simulate a single jersey knit under ballistic loading. The path and shape of the yarn in the knit fabric is defined with parametric equations calibrated to CT images of a sample fabric. Results of finite element simulations demonstrate the unique mechanical response of knit soft armor, and show qualitative agreement with ballistic experiments.

Based on our results it has better efficacy than the Cyanokit and the Nithiodote therapies that are presently used against cyanide intoxication in the US. Because of their absence in the literature, the goal of this work was to develop analytical methods for determining DMTS from blood and brain that could be employed in future pharmacokinetic studies. An HPLC-UV method for detection of DMTS from blood, a GC–MS method for detection of DMTS from brain, and associated validation experiments are described here. These analytical methods were developed using in vitro spiking of brain and blood, and are suitable for determining the in vivo DMTS concentrations in blood and brain in future pharmacokinetic and distribution studies. An important phenomenon was observed in the process of developing these methods. Specifically, recoveries from fresh blood spiked with DMTS were found to be significantly lower than recoveries from aged blood spiked in the same manner with DMTS. This decreased DMTS recovery from fresh blood is important, both because of the role it may play in the antidotal action of DMTS in the presence of cyanide, and because it adds the requirement of sample stabilization to the method development process. Mitigation procedures for stabilizing DMTS samples in blood are reported.

A novel synthesis of UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2, two highly stable MOFs that have shown much promise in the area of catalysis and reactive removal of small molecules, from acetone is demonstrated here. Using this method, the MOFs can be activated by simple heating under vacuum without the need for solvent exchange, which can be a timely processing step that requires the use of large amounts of solvent. The activity of the series of MOFs synthesized at various temperatures was determined by the rate of hydrolysis of methyl paraoxon and the reactive capacity of UiO-66-NH2 with chlorine gas. Direct correlations were observed between synthesis temperature, crystallinity, BET surface area, and activity of the MOFs.

This instrument provides four dimensions (4D) of chemical selectivity and includes significant improvements to total selectivity (mass spectrometric and chromatographic), peak identification, and operational temperature range relative to previous models of the GC3 reported. The new instrumental design and data output are evaluated and illustrated via two samples, a 115-component test mixture and a diesel fuel spiked with several compounds, for the purpose of illustrating the chemical selectivity benefits of this instrumental platform. Useful approaches to visualize the 4D data are presented. The GC3/TOFMS instrument experimentally achieved total peak capacity, nc,3D, ranging from 5000 to 9600 (x̅ = 7000, s = 1700) for 10 representative analytes for 50 min separations with component dimensional peak capacities averaging 406, 3.6, and 4.9 for 1D, 2D, and 3D, respectively. Particularly, GC3/TOFMS achieved a combined 2D × 3D peak capacity ranging from 10 to 26 (x̅ = 17.6, s = 5.0), which is similar to what is achieved by 2D alone in a GC × GC operating at equivalent modulation period conditions. The analytical benefits of employing three varied chemical selectivities in the 3D separation coupled with TOFMS are illustrated through the separation and detection of 1,6-dichlorohexane and cyclohexyl isothiocyanate as part of the diesel fuel analysis.

Design: Cross-sectional analyses of a nationally-representative study. Study sample: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data collected between 1999 and 2012 were used. Over 60 thousand reflex traces obtained from 15,106 NHANES participants were used in the study, along with demographic, audiometric, health and exposure variables obtained in that study. Results: Acoustic reflexes were not sufficiently prevalent to be deemed pervasive by any detection method or in any subgroup defined by age or audiometric characteristics. The odds of observing acoustic reflexes were greater for women, young adults, and people with better hearing sensitivity. Abnormally high tympanometric admittance and “Other” race/ethnicity (i.e. people who do not self-identify as exclusively Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Mexican–American, or Hispanic) were associated with lower odds. Conclusions: Acoustic reflexes are not sufficiently prevalent to be included in DRC and HHA for impulsive noise.

Four hearing loss profiles were tested in each round (no hearing loss, mild, moderate and severe) and four rounds were played to make up a match. This allowed counterbalancing of simulated hearing loss across participants.Study sample: Forty-three participants across two data collection sites (Fort Detrick, Maryland and the United States Military Academy, New York). All participants self-reported normal hearing except for two who reported mild hearing loss.Results: Impaired hearing had a greater impact on the offensive capabilities of participants than it did on their “survival”, likely due to the tendency for individuals with simulated impairment to adopt a more conservative behavioural strategy than those with normal hearing.Conclusions: These preliminary results provide valuable insights into the impact of impaired hearing on combat effectiveness, with implications for the development of improved auditory fitness-for-duty standards, the establishment of performance requirements for hearing protection technologies, and the refinement of strategies to train military personnel on how to use hearing protection in combat environments.

Raman peaks exhibit shoulders and splitting that suggests that the molecules undergo reorientation in response to compression. These are observed in three pressure ranges: the first from 3-5 GPa, the second from 8-12 GPa, and finally from 16-20 GPa. The particular modes in the sample that are observed to change in the Raman are strongly linked to the molecular vibrations involving the N-H and the C-O bond, which are most strongly coupled to the hydrogen-bonded lattice structure. The X-ray diffraction suggests that the crystal maintains a monoclinic structure to the highest pressures studied. Although there was a considerable degree of hysteresis observed in some X-ray runs, all the changes observed under pressure are reversible.

The formulations are variants on the polymer crosslink mechanism and the doping mass fraction of elemental sulfur. Four fuel candidates are oxidatively cured and one formulation is cured with isocyanates. Post-cure, the Shore-A hardness of each sample is measured followed by TGA and DSC analysis. The objective of this research is to develop a solid fuel ramjet formulation with thermal decomposition onset temperatures lower than conventional ramjet fuels while maintaining a Shore-A hardness of at least 30. The results show that polysulfide based formulations decompose at temperatures approximately 120 °C lower than hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene based fuels. Additionally, the results demonstrate that the decomposition onset temperature, and the heat of decomposition can be further reduced with the addition of elemental sulfur.

JO - International Journal of Pavement Engineering JF - International Journal of Pavement Engineering Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 140 EP - 161 SN - 10298436 AB - This study presents the rutting performance results of full-scale pavement test sections subjected to F-15E and C-17 aircraft wheels at two different temperatures. Pavement structures for the tests were constructed under shelter in the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) pavement test facility. The full-scale test results are used to validate viscoelastic, viscoplastic and hardening-relaxation constitutive relationships implemented in the Pavement Analysis Using Nonlinear Damage Approach (PANDA) model. PANDA is a mechanistic-based model which incorporates nonlinear viscoelastic, viscoplastic, hardening-relaxation, viscodamage, moisture-induced damage and ageing constitutive relationships. Results of dynamic modulus and different repeated creep-recovery laboratory tests are analysed to extract the parameters associated with viscoelastic, viscoplastic and hardening-relaxation constitutive relationships implemented in PANDA. Once calibrated, PANDA is used to predict the rutting performance observed in full-scale pavement test sections. The simulation results illustrate that PANDA is capable of predicting the rutting of airfield pavements subjected to heavy aircraft wheel loads at intermediate and high temperatures. It is shown that PANDA successfully predicts the effect of shear flow and upheaval at the edges of the wheel. The data from simulation suggested that PANDA, once calibrated, can provide insight into the critical locations of tensile and compressive stresses within the pavement structure. PANDA simulations not only provide a tool for evaluating existing structures, but also can be used in designing more sustainable pavement structures and materials.

JO - Canadian Journal of Zoology JF - Canadian Journal of Zoology Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 95 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 123 EP - 131 SN - 00084301 AB - Many oviparous reptiles deposit eggs in excavated nest chambers, and the location and depth at which eggs are laid can affect predation risk, incubation duration, mortality rates, and hatchling phenotype. Among turtles, nest depth also influences incubation conditions of some large-bodied species, but nest depth is generally expected to vary less among small-bodied species. We monitored nesting behavior of Ornate Box Turtles ( Terrapene ornata (Agassiz, 1857)) for two seasons in Illinois. We used direct observations to confirm that, among 31 nesting events, six females oviposited while beneath the substrate surface. Furthermore, comparisons of body length to nest depth indicated that five additional females likely also constructed nests while buried. Nests laid while females were underground were deeper, on average, than other nests (16.7 versus 11.2 cm), and while mean nest temperatures were similar between groups, temperature fluctuations and maximum temperatures were lower among nests that were laid while females were underground. Subterranean oviposition appears to have moderated incubation temperatures by allowing females to deposit eggs at greater depths than would be possible from the surface. This little-documented behavior may be a mechanism for this species to influence the incubation environment, which in turn may influence hatchling phenotypes.

Chez les tortues, la profondeur du nid influence également les conditions d'incubation de certaines espèces à grand corps, mais il est généralement anticipé que la profondeur du nid varie moins chez les espèces à petit corps. Nous avons surveillé le comportement de nidification de tortues-boîtes ornées ( Terrapene ornata (Agassiz, 1857)) pendant deux saisons en Illinois. Nous nous sommes servis d'observations directes pour confirmer que, sur 31 évènements de nidification, six femelles ont pondu alors qu'elles étaient sous la surface du substrat. En outre, des comparaisons de la longueur du corps et de la profondeur du nid indiquent que cinq autres femelles ont probablement construit des nids alors qu'elles étaient enfouies. Les nids déposés alors que les femelles étaient sous terre étaient plus profonds en moyenne que les autres nids (16,7 contre 11,2 cm) et, si la température moyenne des nids était semblable d'un groupe à l'autre, les fluctuations de température et les températures maximums étaient plus faibles pour les nids mis en place quand les femelles étaient sous terre. La ponte souterraine semble avoir modéré les températures d'incubation en permettant aux femelles de pondre leurs œufs à de plus grandes profondeurs que ce qui serait possible de la surface. Ce comportement peu documenté pourrait être un mécanisme par lequel cette espèce influence le milieu d'incubation, ce qui, en retour, pourrait influencer le phénotype des bébés.

JO - Journal of Safety Research JF - Journal of Safety Research Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 60 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 34 SN - 00224375 AB - Introduction Many non-battle injuries among deployed soldiers are due to occupational-related tasks. Given that non-battle injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, occupational safety and health are of great concern to the military. Some of the leading causes of non-battle injuries in the military are also common in non-military occupational settings. Nationally, falls and motor-vehicle accidents are leading causes of non-fatal occupational injuries in the civilian workforce. The objective of this research is to identify the leading causes, types, and anatomic locations of non-fatal non-battle injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq. Methods Non-battle injuries were identified from medical air evacuation records. Causes of air evacuated injuries were identified and coded using the diagnosis and narrative patient history in the air evacuation records. Descriptive statistics were used to report the air evacuated non-battle injury rates, causes, injury types, and anatomic locations. Results Between 2001 and 2013, there were 68,349 medical air evacuations from Afghanistan and Iraq. Non-battle injuries accounted for 31% of air evacuations from Afghanistan and 34% from Iraq. These injuries were the leading diagnosis category for air evacuations. The three leading causes of injury for Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, were sports/physical training (23% and 24%), falls/jumps (19% and 16%), and military vehicle-related accidents (8% and 11%). The leading injury types were fractures (21%), overuse pain and inflammation (16%), and dislocations (11%).

JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 124 M3 - Article SP - 544 EP - 555 SN - 13596454 AB - The nucleation of helium (He) clusters and their growth in a monovacancy (V) eventually leads to the formation of He bubbles on grain boundaries and within the lattice for α -Fe, which can cause the macroscopic deterioration of material properties. The research objective herein is to model the nucleation and growth of small He clusters by calculating the formation/binding energetics of a single He atom to a He n V cluster ( n = {1–7}) and by capturing how the grain boundary affects this behavior in bcc α -Fe. The formation energies for 1–8 He atoms in a monovacancy are calculated at all potential grain boundary sites within 15 Å of ten select high angle grain boundaries. These results are combined with previously calculated vacancy formation energies and interstitial He formation energies to quantify how the local grain boundary structure impacts the binding of an interstitial He atom to a He n V cluster. We find that, despite the large range of different local environments within the grain boundaries, it is nearly always energetically favorable for a nearby interstitial He atom to combine with either a monovacancy or a He n V cluster to form a larger He n V cluster, with a binding energy that can be much greater (as much as 100% greater) than in the bulk crystal. Furthermore, a model is presented that captures the formation and binding energies of the various He–V clusters while capturing the subsequent binding energies of different clusters/defects in the presence of grain boundaries – both of which are important when accounting for the total energetics pertaining to He–V cluster growth in the presence of the high angle grain boundaries.

We designed a limited study to investigate this flexibility and probe structure-activity relationships; utilizing the Betti reaction, a 36 compound matrix of quinolinol BoNT/A LC inhibitors was developed using three 8-hydroxyquinolines, three heteroaromatic amines, and four substituted benzaldehydes. This study has revealed some of the most effective quinolinol-based BoNT/A inhibitors to date, with 7 compounds displaying IC 50 values ⩽1 μM and 11 effective at ⩽2 μM in an ex vivo assay.

JO - International Journal of Fatigue JF - International Journal of Fatigue Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 95 M3 - Article SP - 243 EP - 251 SN - 01421123 AB - Throughout industry, polymers are being used to replace parts that were previously fabricated from metals. Thus, the fatigue resistance of polymers needs to be well understood. Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is often chosen for its good mechanical properties and high glass transition temperature. In this paper, the experiments and methods to study fatigue crack growth and subsequent crack closure are presented. Compact specimens made of PEEK were used to experimentally monitor fatigue crack growth at R = 0.1 and R = 0.7. Some unique aspects of the experiments include the use of compression pre-cracking and a back-face strain gauge to measure crack length. While measuring crack closure was the primary focus of the experiments, crack growth rate versus stress intensity factor range results were also generated. Using remote methods of measuring crack closure show that PEEK experiences a small level of crack closure, though the effects are minimal. However, indirect methods of measuring crack closure show that the phenomenon is more prevalent in the material than what was measured. Further research for continuing the study of fatigue crack closure in PEEK are discussed.

However, many eligible students do not apply and consequently forgo significant amounts of financial aid. If students have perfect information about aid eligibility, we would expect that all eligible students complete FAFSA and no aid would go unclaimed. Using data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey, I estimate a multinomial logit model which controls for all variables that contribute to aid eligibility and other student characteristics that may deter FAFSA completion. I find that students who are lower middle income, white, male and independent from parents are less likely to complete FAFSA even when they are eligible for aid. Using propensity score matching, I find that each year applicants forgo $9,741.05 in total aid (including grant and loan aid) which includes $1,281.00 of Pell Grants, $2,439.50 of the balance subsidized student loans, $1,986.65 of the balance of unsubsidized student loans, and $1,016.04 of institutional grants. These aid totals aggregate to $24 billion annually.

The study uses threedimensional (3D) numerical simulation of miter gates that includes all the geometrical details of the most commonly used miter gates. The simulation is used to attain vertical and lateral displacements at the miter end when the gate is mitered and in the operation for different prestressing forces. The simulation results allow the development of design curves that are used to obtain the optimum prestressing loading. These design curves can also be used to verify that the displacements of a gate are within tolerances for existing levels of prestressing. The analyses are compared with the existing criteria. The comparison shows that the miter gate leaf is not limited to only one prestressing combination, as prescribed by the design criteria, but several prestressing combinations evaluated from the numerical experiments can also provide the adequate torsional capacity. Furthermore, the study shows that the design criteria estimates a higher prestressing that likely causes a reduction in fatigue life in the diagonal connections. The new techniques will allow the prediction of optimum prestressing levels without compromising the torsional capacity.

We examined four broad intelligences, two of which were thing-focused (spatial and mathematical) and two people-focused (verbal and personal intelligences) and their predictions to thing- and people-centered courses (e.g., chemistry versus psychology). We found support for a thing-people differential in reasoning. The broad intelligences and the Big Five personality traits also predicted academic and other performance criteria at consequential levels.

Both climatic trend and variance affect these efforts and costs, creating a complex decision space where uncertain future predictions are the rule. Here, we show how these problems mimic option payoffs and demonstrate a modified version of the Black-Scholes option pricing formula (widely used in finance) to analyze these types of business-climate decisions. We demonstrate the method by (1) examining the viability of building ice roads in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where a strong negative warming trend is underway, and (2) applying it to the problem of the ongoing California drought, estimating expected water costs with and without storage. The method is novel and provides a simple and accessible way to make such assessments to at least a first-order approximation. While our focus here is on business situations where decisions are usually based on money, we suggest that a similar approach could be used beyond the business world in examining risk and attributing that risk to climate variance vs. trend.

Contrary to the previous work, a generalized attack model is employed which manipulates the data using transformations with arbitrary functional forms determined by some attack parameters whose values are unknown to the attacked system. For the first time, necessary and sufficient conditions are provided under which the transformations provide a guaranteed attack performance in terms of Cramer–Rao Bound (CRB) regardless of the processing the estimation system employs, thus defining a highly desirable attack. Interestingly, these conditions imply that, for any such attack when the attacked sensors can be perfectly identified by the estimation system, either the Fisher information matrix (FIM) for jointly estimating the desired and attack parameters is singular or that the attacked system is unable to improve the CRB for the desired vector parameter through this joint estimation even though the joint FIM is nonsingular. It is shown that it is always possible to construct such a highly desirable attack by properly employing a sufficiently large dimension attack vector parameter relative to the number of quantization levels employed, which was not observed previously. To illustrate the theory in a concrete way, we also provide some numerical results which corroborate that under the highly desirable attack, attacked data are not useful in reducing the CRB.

We present the final results of two phase 1 trials of an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based vaccine candidate designed to prevent EVD. Methods We conducted two phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation trials of an rVSV-based vaccine candidate expressing the glycoprotein of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV). A total of 39 adults at each site (78 participants in all) were consecutively enrolled into groups of 13. At each site, volunteers received one of three doses of the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine (3 million plaque-forming units [PFU], 20 million PFU, or 100 million PFU) or placebo. Volunteers at one of the sites received a second dose at day 28. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results The most common adverse events were injection-site pain, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Transient rVSV viremia was noted in all the vaccine recipients after dose 1. The rates of adverse events and viremia were lower after the second dose than after the first dose. By day 28, all the vaccine recipients had seroconversion as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the glycoprotein of the ZEBOV-Kikwit strain. At day 28, geometric mean titers of antibodies against ZEBOV glycoprotein were higher in the groups that received 20 million PFU or 100 million PFU than in the group that received 3 million PFU, as assessed by ELISA and by pseudovirion neutralization assay. A second dose at 28 days after dose 1 significantly increased antibody titers at day 56, but the effect was diminished at 6 months. Conclusions This Ebola vaccine candidate elicited anti-Ebola antibody responses. After vaccination, rVSV viremia occurred frequently but was transient. These results support further evaluation of the vaccine dose of 20 million PFU for preexposure prophylaxis and suggest that a second dose may boost antibody responses.

Multiple experimental reports indicate that the synthesis pressure and temperature of high-energy nitrogen networked compounds significantly decrease when adding hydrogen to nitrogen. One- and two-dimensional structures of nitrogen--hydrogen mixtures are reported to form during synthesis and have also been observed with simulations; however, the structures are not thoroughly established or well understood. Here, we present results of calculations of nitrogen--hydrogen mixtures at pressures up to 50 GPa and predict their structural transformations upon applying and releasing pressure using density functional theory and evolutionary algorithms. Improvements in the computational procedure resulted in efficient on-the-fly elimination of slowly converging structures during the geometry optimization process. This enabled the continuation of long evolution simulations of the nitrogen--hydrogen structures with N/H ratios of 3:1, 4:1, and 9:1 at high pressures (10-50 GPa). New stable crystalline structures with high symmetry and covalent bonds are predicted that have (i) infinite chains and (ii) two-dimensional sheets of nitrogen--hydrogens. The structure with N/H ratio of 4:1 is found to be metallic at 50 GPa. Some crystalline phases stabilized by high pressure may exist as metastable structures with high symmetry and high mass density after lowering the pressure from 50 GPa down to 10 GPa. Vibration modes of calculated Raman and IR spectra are in agreement with published experimental data.

We investigated the effects of post deposition heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the deposits. For this purpose, both low-temperature and high-temperature treatments were carried out on specimens excised from the deposits. Microstructures of the as-deposited and heat treated samples were characterized via different microscopy techniques and mechanical properties were evaluated by microtensile and hardness tests. The results were then correlated with the observed microstructures in different conditions. The strength and ductility of the cold sprayed 7075 deposits increased after both low- and high-temperature treatments, which resulted in precipitation of strengthening phases and increased inter-particle bonding. Because of a change in bonding mechanism, heat treatment at high temperature yielded markedly greater ductility than all other conditions. Diffusion and microstructural sintering at the particle-particle interfaces were proposed to cause the change in bonding mechanism from mechanical interlocking to metallurgical bonding and lead to the ductile characteristics of these samples. The understanding gained from this research should lead to optimization of and pre- and post-processing treatments for cold spray deposits.

JO - International Journal of Aerospace Engineering JF - International Journal of Aerospace Engineering Y1 - 2017/01/19/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 SN - 16875966 AB - This research describes a computational study undertaken to determine the effect of a flow control mechanism and its associated aerodynamics for a finned projectile. The flow control system consists of small microflaps located between the rear fins of the projectile. These small microflaps alter the flow field in the aft finned region of the projectile, create asymmetric pressure distributions, and thus produce aerodynamic control forces and moments. A number of different geometric parameters, microflap locations, and the number of microflaps were varied in an attempt to maximize the control authority generated by the flaps. Steady-state Navier-Stokes computations were performed to obtain the control aerodynamic forces and moments associated with the microflaps. These results were used to optimize the control authority at a supersonic speed, M=2.5. Computed results showed not only the microflaps to be effective at this speed, but also configurations with 6 and 8 microflaps were found to generate 25%–50% more control force than a baseline 4-flap configuration. These results led to a new optimized 8-flap configuration that was further investigated for a range of Mach numbers from M=0.8 to 5.0 and was found to be a viable configuration effective in providing control at all of these speeds.

We report a detailed study of the adsorption and decomposition of a nerve-agent simulant, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), on UiO-66, UiO-67, MOF-808, and NU-1000 using synchrotron-based X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray absorption, and infrared spectroscopy, which reveals key aspects of the reaction mechanism. The diffraction measurements indicate that all four MOFs adsorb DMMP (introduced at atmospheric pressures through a flow of helium or air) within the pore space. In addition, the combination of X-ray absorption and infrared spectra suggests direct coordination of DMMP to the Zr6 cores of all MOFs, which ultimately leads to decomposition to phosphonate products. These experimental probes into the mechanism of adsorption and decomposition of chemical warfare agent simulants on Zr-based MOFs open new opportunities in rational design of new and superior decontamination materials.

In this study, we employed an integrated approach that combines computational predictions with new experimental studies in mice to identify plausible mechanistic triggers of pathological scarring in skin wounds. We developed a computational model that predicts the time courses for six essential cell types, 18 essential molecular mediators, and collagen, which are involved in inflammation and proliferation during wound healing. By performing global sensitivity analyses using thousands of model-simulated wound-healing scenarios, we identified five key processes (among the 90 modeled processes) whose dysregulation may lead to pathological scarring in wounds. By modulating a subset of these key processes, we simulated fibrosis in wounds. Moreover, among the 18 modeled molecular mediators, we identified TGF-β and the matrix metalloproteinases as therapeutic targets whose modulation may reduce fibrosis. The model predicted that simultaneous modulation of TGF-β and matrix metalloproteinases would be more effective in treating excessive scarring than modulation of either therapeutic target alone. Our model was validated with previously published and newly generated experimental data, and suggested new in vivo experiments.

Advantages of this technique include the ability to perform a large number of independent tests on a given volume of material and the ability to measure site-specific differences and variations in local material properties. As such, combined with a simultaneous evaluation of the weld morphology, a series of 144 shear punch tests were carried out in a 12×12 grid pattern on the retreating half of the weld. The overlay of the grid pattern onto the etched surface allowed a correlation of the microstructure and mechanical properties measured across the weld at each shear punch site. Two-dimensional color enhanced property maps were generated to provide a powerful site specific visualization of the unique or distinctive microstructural features and how they correlate with the local mechanical response across the weld. One of the more insightful discoveries was the weld nugget region undergoing 2.5 times more strain-hardening than the base plate material, while simultaneously experiencing the Portevin-LeChatelier effect. Aspects of the technique and results of our experiments are described.

Herein, we investigated 8-hydroxyquinoline (quinolin-8-ol) as a potential inhibitor scaffold for preventing the deadly neurochemical effects of the toxin. Quinolinols are known chelators that can disrupt the BoNT/A metalloprotease zinc-containing active site, thus impeding its proteolysis of the endogenous protein substrate, synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25). By use of this information, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the quinolinol-5-sulfonamide scaffold was explored through preparation of a crude sulfonamide library and evaluation of the library in a BoNT/A LC enzymatic assay. Potency optimization of the sulfonamide hit compounds was undertaken as informed by docking studies, granting a lead compound with a submicromolar Ki. These quinolinol analogues demonstrated inhibitory activity in a cell-based model for SNAP-25 cleavage and an ex vivo assay for BoNT/A-mediated muscle paralysis.

The microstructure of cement is complex due to the presence of unhydrated water, nano/micro pores, and other hydrated and unhydrated products, such as the Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) gel, tri-calcium silicate, dicalcium silicate etc. The evolved microstructures at different degrees of hydration are captured using a suite of software that explicitly modeled the chemical compositions of various constituents and their byproducts for a water/cement ratio of 0.4. An evolved microstructure of 50x50x50 micron3 volume of Portland cement product was modeled as a representative volume element (RVE) through a general purpose finite element code, ABAQUS®. The heterogeneity induced shock decay phenomenon under compression in this 50-micron size cube due to an OFHC Copper flyer plate impact is analyzed.

The transition occurs at ~7-9 GPa and has a hysteresis allowing to stabilize covalently bonded random network down to much lower pressures. Only two atoms of N out of 24 were found to be incorporated in random network formed mainly by C and O atoms in 128 atom unit cell. Here, in search of a new route for the synthesis of poly-nitrogen materials, higher concentrations of N atoms (37.5%, 50%, and 90.625%) in delta molecular crystal phases under compression up to 50 GPa were calculated using density functional theory. Presence of CO is found to facilitate formation of the random network. To understand the importance of initial molecular crystalline structure the calculations were performed for the mixtures of N2 and CO in delta phases and at different sites with spherical and disk shaped disorder. Results calculated in linear response theory to obtain IR and Raman spectra are compared with recent experimental results.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2017/01/10/ VL - 1793 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 SN - 0094243X AB - In discrete particle simulations, when an atomistic model is coarse-grained, a tradeoff is made: a boost in computational speed for a reduction in accuracy. The Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) methods help to recover lost accuracy of the viscous and thermal properties, while giving back a relatively small amount of computational speed. Since its initial development for polymers, one of the most notable extensions of DPD has been the introduction of chemical reactivity, called DPD-RX. In 2007, Maillet, Soulard, and Stoltz introduced implicit chemical reactivity in DPD through the concept of particle reactors and simulated the decomposition of liquid nitromethane. We present an extended and generalized version of the DPD-RX method, and have applied it to solid hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). Demonstration simulations of reacting RDX are performed under shock conditions using a recently developed single-site coarse-grain model and a reduced RDX decomposition mechanism. A description of the methods used to simulate RDX and its transition to hot product gases within DPD-RX is presented. Additionally, we discuss several examples of the effect of shock speed and microstructure on the corresponding material chemistry.

Simulations were conducted for explosive "A", an explosive with a large failure diameter, and for cast TNT, which has a modest failure diameter. Using the best available reactive rate models, the simulations predicted sustained ignition thresholds similar to experiment. This is a threshold where detonation is likely given a long enough run distance. For input pressures greater than the sustained ignition threshold pressure, the simulations predicted too little velocity for explosive "A" and too much velocity for TNT. It was found that a better comparison of experiment and simulation requires additional experimental data for both explosives. It was observed that the choice of reactive rate model for cast TNT can lead to large differences in the predicted modified gap experiment result. The cause of the difference is that the same data was not used to parameterize both models; one set of data was more shock reactive than the other.

JO - Journal of Cleaner Production JF - Journal of Cleaner Production Y1 - 2017/01/10/ VL - 141 M3 - Article SP - 267 EP - 277 SN - 09596526 AB - The selection of an appropriate technology for waste management in a way that enhances sustainability is a complex problem requiring information from multiple disciplines. This decision is made more complex for large, diverse organizations for which individual sites or components have different requirements and capacities for waste management. For U.S. Army installations, sustainable waste management is a major obstacle for resource constrained and overburdened installation personnel. The Army has prioritized landfill diversion at installations; there is a significant push for each installation to develop and implement waste management plans that follow high-level goals set by U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM). The main objective of this study is to demonstrate an excel-based dashboard tool incorporating Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for site-specific waste management technology selection. The dashboard uses the preferences of an installation and a series of weighted metrics to evaluate technologies. With this information the dashboard can rank the technologies to identify those that simultaneously meet IMCOM's objectives and are appropriate for specific sites' capabilities and resources. Fourteen different technology makes and models were compared in this version of the decision model including dehydrators, pulpers, garbage disposals, containerized in-vessel composting, windrow composting, forced-air static composting, and containerized anaerobic digestion. MCDA provides for transparent comparison of technologies for all sites, and the dashboard visualizes the level of appropriateness of each technology for each site. The approach developed here adds value in that it utilizes the priorities of the organization and identifies the best performing waste management technology given the specific capacity and capabilities of an individual site.

A set of 49 similarity metrics is implemented to analyze and quantify similarities between different Gaussian-based peak responses, as a surrogate for different characteristics in X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. A methodological approach was used to identify and demonstrate how sensitive these metrics are to expected peak features. By performing hierarchical clustering analysis, it is shown that most behaviors lead to unrelated metric responses. For instance, the results show that the Clark metric is consistently one of the most sensitive metrics to synthetic single peak changes. Furthermore, as an example of its utility, a framework is outlined for analyzing structural changes because of size convergence and isotropic straining, as calculated through the virtual XRD patterns.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2017/01/03/ VL - 51 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 514 EP - 521 SN - 0013936X AB - A major challenge for photocatalytic water purification with TiO2 is the strong inhibitory effect of natural organic matter (NOM), which can scavenge photogenerated holes and radicals and occlude ROS generation sites upon adsorption. This study shows that phosphate counteracts the inhibitory effect of humic acids (HA) by decreasing HA adsorption and mitigating electron-hole recombination. As a measure of the inhibitory effect of HA, the ratios of first-order reaction rate constants between photocatalytic phenol degradation in the absence versus presence of HA were calculated. This ratio was very high, up to 5.72 at 30 mg/L HA and pH 4.8 without phosphate, but was decreased to 0.76 (5 mg/L HA, pH 8.4) with 2 mM phosphate. The latter ratio indicates a surprising favorable effect of HA on TiO2 photocatalysis. FTIR analyses suggest that this favorable effect is likely due to a change in the conformation of adsorbed HA, from a multiligand exchange arrangement to a complexation predominantly between COOH groups in HA and the TiO2 surface in the presence of phosphate. This configuration can reduce hole consumption and facilitate electron transfer to O2 by the adsorbed HA (indicated by linear sweep voltammetry), which mitigates electron-hole recombination and enhances contaminant degradation. A decrease in HA surface adsorption and hole scavenging (the predominant inhibitory mechanisms of HA) by phosphate (2 mM) was indicated by a 50% decrease in the photocatalytic degradation rate of HA and 80% decrease in the decay rate coefficient of interfacial-related photooxidation in photocurrent transients. These results, which were validated with other compounds (FFA and cimetidine), indicate that anchoring phosphate - or anions that exert similar effects on the TiO2 surface - might be a feasible strategy to counteract the inhibitory effect of NOM during photocatalytic water treatment.

CD negatively impacts an individual's ability to accurately aim and fire long-barreled guns. The authors developed and evaluated a hand dominance transfer (HDT) intervention to improve the M16 rifle shooting accuracy, efficiency, and skill transfer. Twenty-four U.S. Army soldiers with CD were taught how to handle and fire an M16 rifle using the nondominant hand. Training was conducted at a military, indoor laser-equipped weapons simulator. Accuracy for shooting 40 rounds at baseline with the nondominant eye and dominant hand (NDE/DH) was 22.12 compared to shooting 30.46 with the dominant eye and nondominant hand (DE/NDH). This difference was statistically significant withp= .000. The transfer of shooting accuracy skill (retention) following the HDT intervention was 33.42 with a comparativepvalue of .100. Efficiency of shooting 10 rounds at baseline with the NDE/DH was 6.3 compared to shooting 7.3 with the DE/NDH. This difference was not statistically significant (p= .107). The transfer of shooting efficiency skill (retention) was 7.96 with a comparativepvalue of .349. This study supports shooting with the DE/NDH. HDT could be further developed to address the soldiering skill of shooting an M16.

Remote sensing and limited field-testing disclosed a crime scene featuring extensive landscape disturbances from haphazard placements of shallow, presumed grave trenches and associated spoil heaps. Geoarchaeological expertise was used to explain the terrain irregularities at the crime scene and to reconstruct the processes and sequence chronology of grave site selection, interments, and site abandonment. Geomorphic investigations included observations of field relations and follow-up sedimentological and geochemical analyses. The precrime scene landforms were demonstrably Upper Pleistocene in age and were underlain by calcretes of variable morphogenetic origins; they produced an impenetrable crust of variable depths. Misreading of these elements underpinned the flawed planning and inefficient excavation and disposal strategies by the perpetrators. Geochemical analysis of the grave fills isolated elements (chiefly K) that could be diagnostic of otherwise homogeneous sediment units. Taken together, these data provided key evidence for conviction of the Hussein regime. A 'geotaphonomic model' for mass graves analysis is proposed as a blueprint for practical and critical future applications of geoarchaeology.

Stated another way, can their constitutional duties to obedience to civilian authority ever clash so severely with their responsibilities to their profession and its fiduciary trust with the American people that dissent is obligated. The position offered here is that senior military professionals always retain the moral agency for such dissent. It inheres in their role as a steward of an American military profession exercising the discretionary judgments that are the moral core of their professional work.

The rotors are modeled as being isolated from the rest of the vehicle. The comparisons encompass a total of 24 test points featuring wide variations in advance ratio for a thorough assessment of the predictions. With the exception of chord bending moment for the case of UH-60A, the analysis correctly predicts trends in half peak-to-peak values of blade structural loads and pitch link force. Most of the predictions in half peak-to-peak blade structural loads and pitch link force deviate from the measured data by no more than 40% and most of the deviations are underpredictions. The predictions typically resemble the measured data in shapes of the waveforms for both flap bending moment and normal force, but this is less often the case for chord bending and torsion moments. While the analysis may capture the 1/rev harmonic contents in pitching moment waveforms, it consistently underpredicts any higher harmonics.

Unlike ground observations, continuous data monitoring is available with global coverage of terrestrial and atmospheric components. In this study we test the utility of different sources of satellite data to assess air pollution concentrations in Iraq. SeaWiFS and MODIS Deep Blue (DB) aerosol optical depth (AOD) products were evaluated and used to characterize the spatial and temporal pollution levels from the late 1990s through 2010. The AOD and Ångström exponent (an indicator of particle size, since smaller Ångström exponent values reflect a source that includes larger particles) were correlated on 50 × 50 km spatial resolution. Generally, AOD and Ångström exponent were inversely correlated, suggesting a significant contribution of coarse particles from dust storms to AOD maxima. Although the majority of grid cells exhibited this trend, a weaker relationship in other locations suggested an additional contribution of fine particles from anthropogenic sources. Tropospheric NO2 densities from the OMI satellite were elevated over cities, also consistent with a contribution fromanthropogenic sources. Our analysis demonstrates the use of satellite imaging data to estimate relative pollution levels and source contributions in areas of the world where direct measurements are not available. Implications: The authors demonstrated how satellite data can be used to characterize exposures to dust and to anthropogenic pollution for future health related studies. This approach is of a great potential to investigate the associations between subject-specific exposures to different pollution sources and their health effects in inaccessible regions and areas where ground monitoring is unavailable.

In this essay, we analyze the most frequent criticisms made by war crimes trial skeptics, including the claims that such trials endanger prospects for peace by encouraging enemies to continue fighting, that they achieve only "victors' justice" rather than real justice, and that, in any event, they are unnecessary due to the existence of more effective and less costly alternatives. We conclude, in accordance with a "moderate retributivism," that when carried out consistently with established law and procedure, and when not dramatically outweighed by concerns that trials will exacerbate ongoing or future conflicts, prosecutions are a legitimate, and sometimes necessary, response to violations of the laws of war and international criminal law more broadly.

JO - Applied Soil Ecology JF - Applied Soil Ecology Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 109 M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 22 SN - 09291393 AB - Recent developments in the field of bioenergy advance the feasibility for energy sources in remote locations with limited infrastructure requirements. Though most research efforts have focused on advancing power output in the marine environment, there is potential to generate power from terrestrial sources. The diversity of native soil biota serves as the inoculum at the electrode surface. In this study, we investigated how microbial fuel cells (MFCs) perform according to a range of temperature regimes, with specific inquiries regarding the level of power output generated at a range of temperatures representative of field conditions and the types of microbes which colonize the electrode surface. Our findings show that there was a notable lag in the increase in power output for all active terrestrial microbial fuel cells (tMFCs) and that the tMFCs incubating at 35 °C produced five times the power density than the tMFCs incubating at 5 °C. As expected, soil microbial activity, as measured through soil respiration, was proportional to both the incubation temperature of the tMFCs and the measured power output. Oppositely, microbial abundance did not increase concurrently with temperature or power output, as demonstrated by archaeal abundance observed to be consistently highest at 25 °C. Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed differences in community composition between the cathode and anode, with different communities emerging at different temperature profiles.

During this process, both cell types acquire critical innate immune functions that include phagocytosis of pathogens, and for neutrophils the release of nuclear material called nuclear extracellular traps (NETs). Primary cells used to study these functions are typically purified from mature mouse tissues, but bone marrow-derived ex vivo cultures provide more abundant numbers of progenitors and functionally mature cells. Routine analyses of these cells use conventional microscopy and flow cytometry, which present limitations; microscopy is laborious and subjective, whereas flow cytometry lacks spatial resolution. Here we describe methods to generate enriched populations of neutrophils or macrophages from cryopreserved mouse bone marrow cultured ex vivo , and to use imaging flow cytometry that combines the resolution of microscopy with flow cytometry to analyze cells for morphologic features, phagocytosis, and NETosis.

JO - NeuroToxicology JF - NeuroToxicology Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 58 M3 - Article SP - 153 EP - 160 SN - 0161813X AB - Organophosphate compounds, such as soman and sarin, are highly toxic chemical warfare nerve agents that cause a build-up of acetylcholine in synapses and neuromuscular junctions. Current therapies aim to prevent seizures and protect against brain injury following exposure. The present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the antihistamine cyproheptadine in improving survival and controlling seizures in rats exposed to soman. Rats were pretreated with the oxime reactivator HI-6 (125 mg/kg, ip) 30 min prior to soman exposure (225 μg/kg, sc) and then treated with atropine methylnitrate (AMN, 2.0 mg/kg, im) 1 min after soman. Cyproheptadine (10, 13, 16 or 20 mg/kg, ip) was given at one of three time points: 1 min after soman intoxication, at the onset of soman-induced seizures or 5 min after seizure onset. Control animals were exposed to soman and given an equivalent volume of sterile water instead of cyproheptadine. The incidence of seizures, mortality, neuron counts, neuropathology and apoptosis in specific regions of the brain were evaluated. In animals given HI-6 and AMN the incidence of soman-induced seizure and mortality rate within the first 24 h were 100%. When cyproheptadine was given at a dose of 13 or 20 mg/kg 1 min after soman exposure, the incidence of seizures was reduced from 100% to 13% and 30%, respectively. In addition, cyproheptadine given at 1 min after soman exposure increased the survival rate to 100% regardless of dose. When cyproheptadine was administered at seizure onset, seizures were terminated in 100% of the animals at doses above 10 mg/kg. The survival rate with cyproheptadine treatment at the onset of seizure was ≥83%. Seizures terminated in ≥75% of the animals that received cyproheptadine 5 min after soman-induced seizure onset. When given at 5 min after seizure onset the survival rate was 100% at all tested doses of cyproheptadine. The neuropathology scores and the number of TUNEL positive cells in the brain regions examined decreased at all time points and cyproheptadine doses tested. These observations indicate that cyproheptadine treatment can effectively control seizures, improve survival, reduce seizure duration and reduce the number of dying cells in the brain following soman exposure.

JO - Marine Structures JF - Marine Structures Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 51 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 39 SN - 09518339 AB - Engineering standards employed in the United States to design concrete waterway control structures for barge impact loading are principally based on data collected from full-scale experimental barge flotilla (barge tow) impact tests. Due to logistical constraints and test costs, the range of parameters that can be varied during physical experiments is typically limited. Consequently, design standards based on such tests have the potential to be undesirably conservative with respect to determination of design impact loads. In the present study, analytical techniques (numerical simulations) are used to quantify barge impact loads over a wider range of conditions than that which would typically be feasible using experimental testing. Nonlinear dynamic finite element models of barge flotillas are developed to accurately represent inelastic barge crushing and inter-barge wire-rope lashing behavior. The models are validated against experimental test data and subsequently used to conduct parametric studies to quantify the influences of impact speed, impact angle, flotilla size, and load measurement technique. A key finding—with implications for design efficiency—is that flotilla impact loads are strongly correlated to the momentum of only barges in the lead row of a flotilla, rather than total momentum of the entire flotilla, as has been assumed in the development of past design standards. Furthermore, it is found that the load measurement technique used in prior experimental impact tests artificially increased the measured loads, relative to impacts from non-instrumented barges, thereby introducing additional conservatism into previously developed design standards.

In this study, anin vitro, air-liquid interface exposure model has been tested to examine its potential application for screening treatments for phosgene (carbonyl chloride)-induced pulmonary injury. Epithelial cultures on Transwell®inserts, combined with a Vitrocell®exposure apparatus, provided a physiologically relevant exposure environment. Differentiated human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cultures were exposed for 8 min to phosgene ranging from 0 to 64 ppm and assessed for changes in transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER, epithelial barrier integrity), cellular viability (XTT) and post-exposure (PE) cellular metabolic energy status. Exposure to phosgene concentrations ≥8 ppm caused dose-dependent and significant decreases in TEER and XTT which did not recover within 24-h PE. In addition, at 64 ppm the rate of oxidative glutamine metabolism was significantly inhibited at 6 and 24 h after exposure. Glycolytic activities (glucose utilization and lactate production) were also inhibited, but to a lesser extent. Decreased glycolytic function can translate to insufficient energy sources to counteract barrier function failure. Consistent and sensitive markers of phosgene exposure were TEER, cell viability and decreased metabolism. As such, we have assessed an appropriatein vitromodel of phosgene inhalation that produced quantifiable alterations in markers of lung cell metabolism and injury in human airway epithelial cells. Data indicate the suitability of this model for testing classes of anti-edemagenic compounds such as corticosteroids or phosphodiesterase inhibitors for evaluating phosgene therapeutics.

However, the expected long tail of the electrostatic potential requires either the use of a large and costly outer domain or Dirichlet boundary conditions estimated via multipole expansion. We find that the oft-used single-center spherical multipole expansion is only appropriate for isotropic mesh domains such as spheres and cubes. In this work, we introduce a method suitable for high aspect ratio meshes whereby the charge density is partitioned into atomic domains and multipoles are computed for each domain. While this approach is moderately more expensive than a single-center expansion, it is numerically stable and still a small fraction of the overall cost of a DFT calculation. The net result is that when high aspect ratio systems are being studied, form-fitted meshes can now be used in lieu of cubic meshes to gain computational speedup.

JO - Marine Geology JF - Marine Geology Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 383 M3 - Article SP - 132 EP - 145 SN - 00253227 AB - Salt marshes in two contrasting estuaries of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast, Barnegat Bay and Delaware Bay, were investigated to identify relationships between rates of sedimentation and marsh estuarine geomorphic setting. Barnegat Bay is a microtidal lagoon estuary with back-barrier and mainland coastal marshes, whereas Delaware Bay is a micro-mesotidal coastal plain estuary with sediment-rich estuarine marshes. Salt marshes of both estuaries are dominated by Spartina alterniflora . An analysis was performed to characterize marsh hypsometry and tidal flooding characteristics, and a coring study was conducted to measure rates of mineral sediment accumulation, organic matter accumulation, and vertical accretion using 137 Cs and 210 Pb chronology at nine sites in both estuaries. Mineral sediment and organic matter accumulation rates were significantly higher in Delaware Bay marshes (sediment mean and 1σ: 2.57 ± 2.03 kg m − 2 year − 1 ; organic: 0.65 ± 0.26 kg m − 2 year − 1 ) than in Barnegat Bay (sediment: 0.31 ± 0.27 kg m − 2 year − 1 ; organic: 0.29 ± 0.08 kg m − 2 year − 1 ), as were rates of accretion (Delaware Bay: 0.79 ± 0.06 cm year − 1 ; Barnegat Bay: 0.28 ± 0.06 cm year − 1 ). Regression analysis indicated that marsh accretion rates were positively correlated with rates of sediment and organic accumulation, but the upper limit of accretion was governed by sediment accumulation. Tidal flooding frequency and duration did not correlate with marsh accumulation or accretion rates in either estuary, suggesting that hydroperiod is subordinate to sediment availability in governing rates on 50–100 year time scales. If true, natural and (or) human influences on suspended-sediment production and transport in these estuaries has potential to impact marsh accretionary status and stability, independent of sea-level rise.

The classification problem is formulated as a Bayesian inference task, and solutions are proposed based on Gibbs sampling and mean field variational inference. The proposed methods rely on a selection of the prior distributions that adopts a latent Dirichlet model for the modulation type and on the Bayesian network (BN) formalism. The Gibbs sampling method converges to the optimal Bayesian solution, and using numerical results, its accuracy is seen to improve for small sample sizes when switching to the mean field variational inference technique after a number of iterations. The speed of convergence is shown to improve via annealing and random restarts. While most of the literature on modulation classification assumes that the channels are flat fading, that the number of receive antennas is no less than that of transmit antennas, and that a large number of observed data symbols are available, the proposed methods perform well under more general conditions. Finally, the proposed Bayesian methods are demonstrated to improve over existing non-Bayesian approaches based on independent component analysis (ICA) and on prior Bayesian methods based on the “superconstellation” method.

However, it is essential to evaluate long-term performance of the phase change materials and cost-effectiveness prior to full-scale implementation. For this reason, we have used the accelerated longterm approach for studying the thermal performance and chemical stability of a commercially available bio-based phase change material during thermal cycling over a simulated period of 20 years. The phase change material was subjected to accelerate thermal aging under controlled environmental conditions. Small samples of the phase change material were periodically removed to measure its latent heat, thermal decomposition, and chemical stability using various analytical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The topographic changes in the phase change material due to the aging process were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The differential scanning calorimetry data indicate a significant reduction of 12% in the latent heat during heating and cooling cycles during the initial 6.2 years remain nearly constant thereafter. The thermogravimetry analysis results showed that the phase change material has excellent thermal stability within the working temperature range and also shows long-term decomposition temperature stability. The Fourier transform infrared spectra of the phase change material indicate absorption of moisture but the phase change material was chemically stable over the duration of accelerated aging cycles. After several aging cycles, the baseline surface morphology appeared to be changed from uniform mix of phase change material with microstructures to segregated microstructures as evidenced by the observation of the scanning electron micrographs.

JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 544 M3 - Article SP - 147 EP - 155 SN - 00221694 AB - Sediment accumulation can significantly impact the useful life of dams and the multiple functions served by those dams such as flood attenuation, hydropower, and water supply. However, there is only limited information, and even fewer physical measurements, assessing the rate of sediment accumulation in reservoirs behind dams. Many of the dams within the Great Lakes Watershed were constructed between 100 and 120 years ago, and there is reasonable concern that these dams and their associated reservoirs may be reaching capacity with respect to sediment storage. As a reservoir reaches its sediment storage capacity, there are numerous risks. Excess sediment can compromise the water intake for supply systems. Dam failure or removal can potentially allow large quantities of impounded sediment to migrate downstream, negatively impacting fish habitat and water quality. This research investigates the historical function of dams as sediment storage points. Also, this research assesses the effect of anthropogenic influences including land use change and dam construction on sediment yield and accumulation within the Lake Rockwell and Ballville Dam watershed. To better understand the historical and current sediment yield within the Lake Erie watershed, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) models of the Lake Rockwell and Ballville Dam watersheds were developed. The resulting model suggests that the average of sediment accumulation rate within Lake Rockwell Dam reservoir varies between the minimum of 1.6 and the maximum of 4.6 g/cm 2 /yr from 1988 to 2007. Within the Ballville Dam reservoir, the rate varies between the minimum of 2.6 and the maximum of 23.2 g/cm 2 /yr from 1980 to 1999.

The process involves the in situ formation of intragranular tungsten oxide nanoparticles, facilitated by the application of a pressure of 1 GPa at a low sintering temperature of 1200 °C during spark plasma sintering (SPS). The results show that the application of a high pressure of 1 GPa during SPS significantly accelerates the densification process. Concurrently, the second phase oxide nanoparticles with an average grain size of 108 nm, which are distributed within the interiors of the W grains, simultaneously provide strengthening and plasticity by inhibiting grain growth, and generating, blocking, and storing dislocations.

Personality data from 4763 Army recruits were used to create personality profiles or classes, which were then linked with supervisor's job performance ratings of discipline and effort as well as 24- and 48-month attrition. The latent profile analyses identified 5 personality profiles/classes, 3 of which (i.e., Resilient, Overcontrolled, Undercontrolled) have been commonly found in previous person-centered studies of personality. The results indicated that the Resilient class had significantly higher discipline ratings and significantly lower attrition than the Overcontrolled and Undercontrolled classes. Using the person-centered approach, the results showed that the classes developed using a relatively new personality measure and latent profile analysis predicted significant differences on important work outcomes such as performance ratings and attrition. Applied implications and future research directions are discussed.

Rigid particulate fillers have been found to improve toughness of some polymers with complex dependence on matrix ductility, particle size, and particle-matrix interfacial adhesion. We tested the effects of both strong and weak interfacial adhesion on deformation and fracture of a model system comprising PMMA filled with monodisperse 1 µm diameter silica spheres. Fracture energy G IC of PMMA was found to increase by over 50% when filled with 1 v% of weakly bonded particles, while the force observed during melt compounding increased by less than 15% and Young's modulus increased systematically with filler loading. However, G IC decreased with filler loading above 1 v%. This behavior is consistent with a modified Kinloch-type model considering localized shear banding and plastic void growth around debonded particles at the crack tip. The ability of the matrix to deform via shear yielding and plastic void growth was confirmed by digital image correlation measurement of volumetric strain in uniaxial tension. We have extended Kinloch's model to account for shortening of the crack tip craze by the particles, which reduces the intrinsic toughness and toughenability of the PMMA matrix. Particles with strong interfacial adhesion generally reduced toughness. The experimental and modeling results suggest weakly bonded particles with size on the order of the crack-tip craze width may provide optimum toughening of glassy thermoplastics.

Research in fuel reforming gives an opportunity for hydrogen production at the point of use. Hydrogen-enriched combustion of JP-8 seeks to take advantage of the energy density of JP-8 and the combustibility of hydrogen. At low power output (<2 kWe), technologies such as Stirling engines, thermoelectric, and thermophotovoltaic generators have the potential to compete with diesel engines, but require reliable JP-8 combustion. Experiments were conducted with atomized JP-8 in a 5 kWth open flame, based on a 500 W power source. JP-8 is sprayed through an air-atomizing nozzle. Hydrogen was added to either the atomizing air or to a concentric tube supplying the main combustion air. In these experiments, hydrogen represented up to 26% of the fuel energy contribution (EC). During hydrogen enrichment, JP-8 flow rate was reduced to maintain constant fuel energy input. Temperature is measured vertically and laterally through the flame. Temperature profiles show that combustion shifts toward the nozzle as hydrogen is added. Hydrogen in the secondary air maintains diffusion flame behavior, but earlier in the flame. Hydrogen in the nozzle air creates a premixed pilot flame structure in the center of the flame. This premixed hydrogen and air flame provides initial energy to speed droplet heating and vaporization, producing higher peak temperatures than the other cases studied. Gaseous emissions are measured above the visible flame. Hydrogen enrichment by both methods reduced unburned hydrocarbon emissions by up to 70%. The advantages provided by hydrogen enrichment represent opportunities for reduced size, improved operational reliability and control, and reduced pollutant emissions.

The electrical resistance of each sample is monitored throughout aging, along with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) used to measure the mass fraction of the stabilizers and nitroso/nitro derivatives at the beginning and end of aging. Stabilizer and nitroso/nitro derivative dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions are used to evaluate the electrical resistance of these species as a function of mass fraction. The results indicate a weak correlation of the sample electrical resistance with stabilizer and nitroso/nitro mass fraction and a strong correlation with the moisture content of the sample. Moisture is postulated to affect the electrical resistance of the samples predominately by acid induced hydrolytic decomposition of the nitrate esters present and then further the cross-linked polymeric binders, causing an elevation of the mass fraction of acid species and a decrease in the sample pH.

There is increasing evidence that this interaction between two anionic species is facilitated by cationic bridges, but detailed mechanistic studies into this system are challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of NOM. This work examines the ability of cations (Fe III , Cr III , Al III , or Ga III ) to form ternary complexes with Suwannee River humic acid (SRHA) and the oxyanions of As (As III and As V ) and Se (Se IV and Se VI ). Complexes were characterized by separating SRHA from unbound species using size exclusion chromatography coupled to ICP-MS to determine its metal content. Unlike Cr III and Fe III , the post-transition metal ions Al III and Ga III proved ineffective at forming ternary complexes with any of the oxyanions, although minor complexation was observed with Ga III , suggesting that electrostatic interactions are not the primary driving force behind the stabilization of these ternary complexes. The results also show differences in the behavior of Fe III and Cr III that may indicate that the two cations stabilize the ternary complexes by different mechanisms.

This notion was generalized by Etingof and Gelaki to Hopf algebras. Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu later observed that there is a strong connection between exponents and Frobenius–Schur indicators. In this article, we introduce the notion of twisted exponents and show there is a similar relationship between the twisted exponent and the twisted Frobenius–Schur indicators defined in previous work of the authors. In particular, we exhibit a new formula for the twisted indicators and use it to prove periodicity and rationality statements.

Such preparation requires understanding how the undergraduate experience relates to student leadership abilities. Limited research has shown disagreement among faculty members and administrators about effective approaches for engineering leadership development. Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of this research was to understand what precollege characteristics and experiences, university experiences, and undergraduate engineering program contexts relate to undergraduate engineers' self-reported leadership skills. Design/Methods Using hierarchical linear modeling, this quantitative study examined the variance of students' self-reported leadership skills as explained by their precollege characteristics and undergraduate experiences. The study drew from a nationally representative survey-based dataset of 5,076 undergraduate engineers from 150 undergraduate engineering programs from 31 colleges and universities. Results Although multiple facets of the undergraduate experience significantly relate to students' self-reported leadership skills, curricular emphases on core engineering thinking, professional skills, and broad and systems perspectives explain the greatest amount of variance. The lack of significant relationships at the program level suggests a lack of formal leadership development within the undergraduate curriculum at large. Conclusions Results indicate that entrusting the leadership development of undergraduate engineering students to the co-curriculum is an inefficient method of developing leadership skills for undergraduate engineers. The curriculum more strongly relates to engineering students' leadership skills. Identifying ways for faculty members to enhance this curricular focus could further development of technologically adept engineering leaders.

Existing studies examine the effects of interdisciplinary experiences on students' development of generic cognitive skills but not the development of interdisciplinary competencies. Purpose/Hypothesis This study sought to explore how engineering students' characteristics, college experiences, and engineering faculty beliefs relate to students' reports of interdisciplinary competence. Design/Method The study used a nationally representative survey sample of 5,018 undergraduate students and 1,119 faculty members in 120 U.S. engineering programs at 31 institutions. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we investigated the relationships among students' curricular and co-curricular experiences and faculty beliefs regarding interdisciplinarity in engineering education on students' reports of interdisciplinary competence. Results This study found that a curricular emphasis on interdisciplinary topics and skills, as well as co-curricular activities, specifically, participating in nonengineering clubs and organizations, study abroad, and humanitarian engineering projects, significantly and positively relate to engineering students' reports of interdisciplinary skills. Faculty members' beliefs regarding interdisciplinarity in engineering education moderated the relationships between particular co-curricular experiences and students' interdisciplinary skills, as well as between curricular emphasis and students' interdisciplinary skills. Conclusions This study identified a small set of experiences that are related to students' reported development of interdisciplinary competence. The study points to the critical role of the curriculum in promoting interdisciplinary thinking and habits of mind, as well as the potential of co-curricular opportunities that bring engineering students together with nonmajors to build interdisciplinary competence.

A broad mid-infrared optical absorption band emerges, peaking near 0.5 eV for sulfur and selenium and 0.3 eV for tellurium hyperdoped samples. Its strength and width increase with impurity concentration. Its strength decreases markedly with subsequent thermal annealing. The emergence of a broad MIR absorption band is consistent with the formation of an impurity band from isolated deep donor levels as the concentration of chalcogen atoms in metastable local configurations increases.

To gain insight into the experiments and assess how accurately the material's strength at pressure can be determined, finite element simulations of DAC experiments are performed. In the analyses, constitutive responses are assumed for the diamonds and the vanadium test specimen; within the constitutive models, the pressure dependence of the strength is prescribed. The quantities typically measured during experiments are extracted from the simulations and analyzed in an identical manner as the experimental data would be to obtain the pressure dependent flow strength. This computed pressure dependent strength is then compared with the prescribed input, allowing the accuracy and sensitivities of the experimental technique to be evaluated. Recommendations are made to improve the accuracy of strength determinations.

A bandgap as high as 2.13 eV is calculated for a single layer of graphene doped with Si while Ge and Sn doping reduce this bandgap for equal doping concentrations. Bilayers of doped graphene are also studied and it is found that the bandgap of these materials is less than that of the single layer counterparts. Finally, a transverse electric field is applied to the doped bilayers and it is found that the bandgap is inversely proportional to the electric field strength in contrast to what has been observed in the case of pristine bilayers. Carrier effective masses were calculated and in general the effective masses of electrons and holes are found to be similar.

Shoreline position and volume changes were recorded from fall 2012 tofall 2015 and provide short-term temporal documentation on recovery to pre-storm conditions. Observations of selected locations from the four ocean-fronting counties are presented to show the influence of human-induced and natural events that followed the storm's landfall, and note local coastal environment and sediment transport patterns on recovery along the Atlantic coast. Passage of Public Law 113-2 allowed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to restore authorized federal projects to their design templates. Approximately 28,281,741 cubic yards of sand were used to rebuild the beaches and dunes. Sixty-three NJBPN profile locations fall within the federal project boundaries and showed significant volumetric gains. The volumes generated through natural recovery did not approach the volumes that were placed via human efforts but the sediment made available to the littoral system benefitted natural beach-dune recovery. The influence of northeast storm events in 2014, October 2015, and again in early 2016 reduced the post-Sandy natural beachdune recovery.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 44 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 415 EP - 418 PB - Geological Society of America SN - 00917613 AB - The growing recognition that many passive margins have experienced periods of post-rift uplift has raised new questions about the nature of the tectonic processes that drive such uplift. The eastern North America margin is of particular interest because it is a classic Atlanticstyle margin that has long been suspected of tectonic rejuvenation, yet the timing of post-rift uplift events remains elusive. To address this question we present apatite U-Th/He and fission track ages from a 1300 m vertical transect in the White Mountains of New Hampshire (USA), including a 910-m-deep bore hole. Thermal modeling suggests a period of accelerated denudation from ca. 85 to 65 Ma. This timing is broadly similar to the timing of accelerated exhumation and compression on passive margins elsewhere in the Atlantic, raising the question of whether a common mechanism, such as a change in lateral stresses, changes in mantle convection, or climate change, could be responsible.

Based on experimental observations, it is assumed that the nanosecond pulsed DBD's which have been proposed for aerodynamic flow control can be approximated by two independent regions of homogeneous electric field. An equivalent circuit model is developed for both homogeneous regions based on a combination of a resistor, capacitors, and a zener diode. Instead of fitting the resistance to an experimental data set, a formula is established for approximating the resistance by modeling plasmas as a conductor with DC voltage applied to it. Various assumptions are then applied to the governing Boltzmann equation to approximate electrical conductivity values for weakly ionized plasmas. The developed model is then validated with experimental data of the total power dissipated by plasmas.

A complete accounting for electrostatic contributions to the heat flux was found to resolve the previously reported differing results of NEMD and EMD Green-Kubo measurements for the extended simple point-charge (SPC/E) model. Accordingly, we demonstrate the influence of long-range electrostatics on the thermal conductivity with a simple coulomb cutoff, Ewald summation, and by an extended particle-particle particle-mesh method. For each water model, the thermal conductivity is computed and decomposed in terms of frequency-dependent thermodynamic and topological contributions. The rigid, three-site SPC, SPC/E, and transferable intermolecular potential (TIP3P-Ew) water models are shown to have similar thermal conductivity values at standard conditions, whereas models that include bond stretching and angle bending have higher thermal conductivities.

We investigate the defects at the SiC side of the interface using density functional theory. We also investigate the effects of passivating these states. The defects studied include a single carbon interstitial, a carbon pair interstitial, and a silicon vacancy at the interface. Density functional theory has been employed to calculate the total and projected density of states (pDOS) and the energy levels of the defects. The results of our calculations indicate that a carbon interstitial and a pair of carbons give rise to traps near the conduction band and valence band. The silicon vacancy gives rise to traps that are closer to the valence band. The effects of hydrogen and nitrogen passivation on the defect energy levels have been investigated. Our studies indicate that hydrogen and nitrogen passivation can eliminate states near the conduction and valence bands, although in some cases they may introduce levels in the midgap.

This was the result of years of theoretical work indicating potentially meta-stable polymeric nitrogen. Experimental evidence of both an amorphous phase and a cubic-gauche phase has added greatly to this interest [A. F. Goncharov, E. A. Gregoryanz, H. K. Mao, Z. Liu, and R. J. Hemley, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1262 (2000); M. I. Eremets, R. J. Hemley, H. K. Mao, and E. Gregoryanz, Nature (London) 411, 170 (2001)]. While most of the theoretical work has been done on the many crystal phases of nitrogen, little work has been done on simulating amorphous polymeric nitrogen. The original goal of this work was to simulate amorphous polymeric nitrogen at low pressure; however, we unexpectedly found a new form of polymeric nitrogen. Starting from first principles dynamic shock simulation of cubic-gauche nitrogen [W. D. Mattson and R. Balu, Phys. Rev. B 83, 174105 (2011)] we demonstrate a new low pressure porous form that exhibits stability at low temperatures. We describe the detailed procedure of obtaining this structure as well as some of its physical characteristics. Finally, we explore composite structures of this new form of polymeric nitrogen and their possible relationship to an amorphous form.

In the FF calculations, we considered a non-reactive force field (i.e., polymer consistent FF). The QM calculations were performed with density functional theory (DFT) using dispersion corrected atom centered pseudopotentials. Overall, results obtained by DFT show much better agreement with available experimental data than classical force fields. In particular, DFT calculated Hugoniot curves for PMMA up to 74 GPa are in very good agreement with experimental data, where a preliminary study of chain fracture and association was also performed. Structure analysis calculations of the radius of gyration and carbon-carbon radial distribution function were also carried out to elucidate contraction of the polymer chains with increasing pressure.

A stiffening of the equation of state and concomitant structural relaxation between 6 and 14 GPa are found to correlate with Raman mode disappearances, frequency discontinuities, and changes in the pressure dependence of modes. These observations manifest the occurrence of a reversible martensitic structural transformation to a new crystalline phase. The onset and vanishing of Fermi resonance in the nitrimine group correlate with the stiffening of the equation of state and phase transition, suggesting a possible connection between these phenomena. Beyond 15 GPa, pressure induces irreversible chemical reactions, culminating in the formation of a polymeric phase by 60 GPa.

It is shown that in this geometry a novel dynamical regime of STMD operation, characterized by large-angle out-of-plane magnetization precession, can be realized. The excitation of the large-angle precession has threshold character and is possible only for input microwave currents exceeding a certain frequency-dependent critical value. The output voltage of an STMD increases with the frequency of the input signal but is virtually independent of its power. An STMD working in the regime of large-amplitude out-of-plane precession functions as a non-resonant threshold detector of low frequency microwave signals, due to the large nonlinear shift of its operating frequency. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for applications in microwave energy harvesting.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2015/12/29/ VL - 16 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 18 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: Francisella tularensis is a select bio-threat agent and one of the most virulent intracellular pathogens known, requiring just a few organisms to establish an infection. Although several virulence factors are known, we lack an understanding of virulence factors that act through host-pathogen protein interactions to promote infection. To address these issues in the highly infectious F. tularensis subsp. tularensis Schu S4 strain, we deployed a combined in silico, in vitro, and in vivo analysis to identify virulence factors and their interactions with host proteins to characterize bacterial infection mechanisms. Results: We initially used comparative genomics and literature to identify and select a set of 49 putative and known virulence factors for analysis. Each protein was then subjected to proteome-scale yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screens with human and murine cDNA libraries to identify potential host-pathogen protein-protein interactions. Based on the bacterial protein interaction profile with both hosts, we selected seven novel putative virulence factors for mutant construction and animal validation experiments. We were able to create five transposon insertion mutants and used them in an intranasal BALB/c mouse challenge model to establish 50 % lethal dose estimates. Three of these, ΔFTT0482c, ΔFTT1538c, and ΔFTT1597, showed attenuation in lethality and can thus be considered novel F. tularensis virulence factors. The analysis of the accompanying Y2H data identified intracellular protein trafficking between the early endosome to the late endosome as an important component in virulence attenuation for these virulence factors. Furthermore, we also used the Y2H data to investigate host protein binding of two known virulence factors, showing that direct protein binding was a component in the modulation of the inflammatory response via activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and in the oxidative stress response. Conclusions: Direct interactions with specific host proteins and the ability to influence interactions among host proteins are important components for F. tularensis to avoid host-cell defense mechanisms and successfully establish an infection. Although direct host-pathogen protein-protein binding is only one aspect of Francisella virulence, it is a critical component in directly manipulating and interfering with cellular processes in the host cell.

We demonstrate the scope by trapping and walking single carbon-nanotube particles of ~50 μm in size and viewing those properties via changes of ringdown time. This single-aerosol-particle-scope offers a powerful tool to study both physical and chemical properties as well as their evolving dynamics.

Chronic inflammation is often characterized by a persistent increase in the concentrations of inflammatory cells and molecular mediators, whose distinct amount and timing characteristics offer an opportunity to identify effective therapeutic regulatory targets. Here, we used our recently developed computational model of local inflammation to identify potential targets for molecular interventions and to investigate the effects of individual and combined inhibition of such targets. This was accomplished via the development and application of computational strategies involving the simulation and analysis of thousands of inflammatory scenarios. We found that modulation of macrophage influx and efflux is an effective potential strategy to regulate the amount of inflammatory cells and molecular mediators in both normal and chronic inflammatory scenarios. We identified three molecular mediators − tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and the chemokine CXCL8 − as potential molecular targets whose individual or combined inhibition may robustly regulate both the amount and timing properties of the kinetic trajectories for neutrophils and macrophages in chronic inflammation. Modulation of macrophage flux, as well as of the abundance of TNF-α, TGF-β, and CXCL8, may improve the resolution of chronic inflammation.

Over the last 20 years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) modeling has also become a powerful mechanism for prioritizing potential wetland restoration sites across a variety of geographic scales. Although numerous studies have created GIS-based models for a variety of uses, no one has comprehensively analyzed and compared models to determine best practices and inform future site selection efforts. We performed a comprehensive literature review of GIS-based wetland prioritization models. We found no congruency between stated objectives, specific variables and metrics, and respective weighting and scoring systems. We then performed a case study, applying these findings to explore potential improvements to the spatial decision support system (SDSS) used by the Mississippi Coastal Improvement Program (MsCIP; USA), a large-scale coastal restoration project aimed at improving the resiliency and reducing flood risk after significant damage from Hurricane Katrina (2005). This case study draws on several stateof- the-art practices in the literature to retroactively study potential improvements in the SDSS's flexibility and accuracy in identifying potential wetland restoration sites. Our findings suggest improvements for wetland restoration prioritization models (including consistent variable use and ground-truthing) that could better direct future federal initiatives, as well as a wide range of domestic and international wetland restoration programs.

JO - Area JF - Area Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 47 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 408 EP - 421 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00040894 AB - Channel evolution models ( CEMs) are used to structure the interpretation of observed channel morphology to support long-term restoration of these systems. However, channels reflect the variety of their watersheds' climatological, ecological and physiographic contexts, and so no single CEM can be truly 'global'. Unrecognised differences between the assumptions and the reality of evolutionary trajectories of particular streams can subsequently lead to restoration actions that neither fully achieve their intended objectives nor successfully self-maintain even limited improvements. Despite the daunting variety of biophysical settings, however, urbanisation imposes distinctive, homogenising influences on virtually all watercourses, suggesting that even a relatively small set of evolutionary pathways can embrace much of the diversity of critical watershed drivers on urban channels. CEMs describing single-thread channel response to incision are most common in the published literature, but not every urban disturbance yields this classic sequence, initiated by excess transport capacity followed by incision, bank erosion, widening and ultimately a lowered re-equilibrated channel. A comprehensive urban CEM must also include responses under less common (but locally ubiquitous) conditions, such as excess sediment relative to transport capacity (the 'inverse' of the classic CEM), imposed constraints on vertical and/or lateral adjustment, and multi-thread channels or those influenced by instream or riparian vegetation. An urban CEM also requires a hierarchical framework that acknowledges fundamental differences in the process drivers within any given watershed, because a single observation of channel form can rarely pinpoint the context or evolutionary trajectory of every stream. We present a geomorphic framework for diagnosing and predicting the evolution of urban streams, potentially guiding the selection of restoration targets that are achievable within an urban context and sustainable without ongoing maintenance.

JO - Ethology JF - Ethology Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 121 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1225 EP - 1234 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01791613 AB - Predation involves costs and benefits, so predators should employ tactics that reduce their risk of injury or death and that increase their success at capturing prey. One potential way that predators could decrease risk and increase benefits is by attacking prey at night when risks may be reduced and prey more vulnerable. Because some snakes are facultatively nocturnal and prey on bird nests during the day and night, they are ideal for assessing the costs and benefits of diurnal vs. nocturnal predation. We used automated radiotelemetry and cameras to investigate predation on nesting birds by two species of snakes, one diurnal and the other facultatively nocturnal. We predicted that snakes preying on nests at night should experience less parental nest defence and capture more adults and nestlings. Rat snakes (Pantherophis obsoletus) were relatively inactive at night (23-36% activity) but nearly always preyed on nests after dark (80% of nest predations). Conversely, racers (Coluber constrictor) were exclusively diurnal and preyed on nests during the times of day they were most active. These results are consistent with rat snakes strategically using their capacity for facultative nocturnal activity to prey on nests at night. The likely benefit is reduced nest defence because birds defended their nests less vigourously at night. Consistent with nocturnal predation being safer, rat snake predation events lasted three times longer at night than during the day (26 vs. 8 min). Nocturnal nest predation did not make nests more profitable by increasing the likelihood of capturing adults or removing premature fledging of nestlings. The disconnect between rat snake activity and timing of nest predation seems most consistent with rat snakes locating prey during the day using visual cues but waiting until dark to prey on nests when predation is safer, although designing a direct test of this hypothesis will be challenging.

SN - 00954616 AB - Recent interest in the reflected quasipotential comes from the queueing theory literature, specifically the analysis of so-called $$(b,A,D)$$ reflected Brownian motion where it is the large deviation rate function for the stationary distribution. Our purpose here is to characterize the reflected quasipotential in terms of a first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Using conventional dynamic programming ideas, along with a complementarity problem formulation of the effect of the Skorokhod map on absolutely continuous paths, we will derive necessary conditions in the form of viscosity-sense boundary conditions. It turns out that even with these boundary conditions solutions are not unique. Thus a unique characterization needs to refer to some additional property of $$V(\cdot )$$ . We establish such a characterization in two dimensions.

Male and female Soldiers from the 101 st Airborne Division (Air Assault) completed a 24-hour dietary recall and nutrition history questionnaire before anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken. Compared to sports nutrition guidelines, Soldiers of the 101 st under consume carbohydrates (males: 3.9 ± 2.0 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p < 0.001; females: 4.0 ± 2.1 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p = 0.001), male Soldiers eat too much fat (32.4% of kcal vs. <30% of kcal, p = 0.000) and saturated fat (males: 10.5 ± 3.9% of kcal vs. 10.0% of kcal, p = 0.044), and both males and females follow a meal pattern that may not optimize energy availability throughout the day. Eating too much fat and under fueling carbohydrate may negatively impact the adaptations to physical training and compromise overall health. Although Soldiers continue to participate in arduous training programs, future research should be aimed at determining the energy and macronutrient needs to fuel and recover from specific types of military training.

Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists.Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points).Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem.

Sediment collected from Savannah Harbor, South Carolina, USA was used to simulate a worst-case scenario. Juvenile sturgeon were contained for a 3-day period in flow-through aquaria, with limited opportunity for movement, in sediment of varying concentrations (100, 250 and 500 mg L-1 total suspended solids [TSS]) mimicking prolonged exposure to suspended sediment plumes near an operating dredge. Of the 90 fish exposed, 86 (96%) survived the test. Of the four fish that died, one was exposed to 250 TSS and three to 500 TSS. Swimming performance results indicated that nearly all fish were positively rheotactic. Critical swim speeds (Ucrits) were moderate, whether measured as absolute values (21-31 cm s-1) or as relative values (1.4-2.1 body lengths s-1), with no significant differences among treatments (F < 0.83, P ≥ 0.4874). Behavior was dominated by contact-based locomotion and station-holding. Absence of substantial or signifi- cant immediate effects on survival and swimming performance suggest that impacts of sediment plumes in nature, where fish have freedom of movement and the power to escape rapidly, are minimal.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2015/11/06/ VL - 10 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - This article represents the second report by an ASCE Task Committee “Infrastructure Impacts of Landscape-driven Weather Change” under the ASCE Watershed Management Technical Committee and the ASCE Hydroclimate Technical Committee. Herein, the ‘infrastructure impacts” are referred to as infrastructure-sensitive changes in weather and climate patterns (extremes and non-extremes) that are modulated, among other factors, by changes in landscape, land use and land cover change. In this first report, the article argued for explicitly considering the well-established feedbacks triggered by infrastructure systems to the land-atmosphere system via landscape change. In this report by the ASCE Task Committee (TC), we present the results of this ASCE TC’s survey of a cross section of experienced water managers using a set of carefully crafted questions. These questions covered water resources management, infrastructure resiliency and recommendations for inclusion in education and curriculum. We describe here the specifics of the survey and the results obtained in the form of statistical averages on the ‘perception’ of these managers. Finally, we discuss what these ‘perception’ averages may indicate to the ASCE TC and community as a whole for stewardship of the civil engineering profession. The survey and the responses gathered are not exhaustive nor do they represent the ASCE-endorsed viewpoint. However, the survey provides a critical first step to developing the framework of a research and education plan for ASCE. Given the Water Resources Reform and Development Act passed in 2014, we must now take into account the perceived concerns of the water management community.

Appropriate coastal zone management and storm-damage risk reduction requires the assessment of vulnerability in natural and human environments. Confusion arises, however, as vulnerability is conceptualized in many different ways and is closely related to other concepts such as risk and resilience. This paper defines nomenclature, presents a conceptual definition of vulnerability, and lays out a proposed conceptual approach for identifying and defining meaningful metrics to ensure a complete assessment of coastal vulnerability. While the focus of this paper is developing metrics for assessing vulnerability to coastal storms, the approach is valid for a wide range of systems and hazards at multiple scales and can explicitly consider the impacts of climate change. The approach is demonstrated through application to a simply coupled human-environment system on the coast and explicitly considers natural and nature-based features.

The evaluation included both laboratory and field testing. In the laboratory, four different types of rejuvenators were evaluated using the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) test and the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test to investigate the use of rejuvenators to soften aged binder obtained from a reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material. The use of small quantities of Type I portland cement during the mix rejuvenation cycle was also explored. Optimum dosage rates for the four types of rejuvenators tested were developed, and the best performing rejuvenator-dosage rate combination was selected to use for field trials. A series of full-scale repairs were conducted using HIR technology, rejuvenators, cement, and two RAP materials. The performance of the repairs was evaluated under simulated F-15E aircraft traffic. All repairs met the objective of 3,500 passes of F-15E aircraft, and the extracted binder from the repairs showed signs of rejuvenation, which could result in longer lasting repairs.

To address scientific needs and help improve the prediction of mountain weather, the U.S. Department of Defense has funded a research effort--the Mountain Terrain Atmospheric Modeling and Observations (MATERHORN) Program--that draws the expertise of a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and multinational group of researchers. The program has four principal thrusts, encompassing modeling, experimental, technology, and parameterization components, directed at diagnosing model deficiencies and critical knowledge gaps, conducting experimental studies, and developing tools for model improvements. The access to the Granite Mountain Atmospheric Sciences Testbed of the U.S. Army Dug way Proving Ground, as well as to a suite of conventional and novel high-end airborne and surface measurement platforms, has provided an unprecedented opportunity to investigate phenomena of time scales from a few seconds to a few days, covering spatial extents of tens of kilometers down to millimeters. This article provides an overview of the MATERHORN and a glimpse at its initial findings. Orographic forcing creates a multitude of time-dependent submesoscale phenomena that contribute to the variability of mountain weather at mesoscale. The nexus of predictions by mesoscale model ensembles and observations are described, identifying opportunities for further improvements in mountain weather forecasting.

JO - Journal of Applied Microbiology JF - Journal of Applied Microbiology Y1 - 2015/11// VL - 119 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1263 EP - 1277 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13645072 AB - Aims To develop test methods and evaluate survival of Bacillus anthracis ∆Sterne or Bacillus thuringiensis Al Hakam on materials contaminated with dirty spore preparations after exposure to hot, humid air using response surface modelling. Methods and Results Spores (>7 log10) were mixed with humic acid + spent sporulation medium (organic debris) or kaolin (dirt debris). Spore samples were then dried on five different test materials (wiring insulation, aircraft performance coating, anti-skid, polypropylene, and nylon). Inoculated materials were tested with 19 test combinations of temperature (55, 65, 75°C), relative humidity (70, 80, 90%) and time (1, 2, 3 days). The slowest spore inactivation kinetics was on nylon webbing and/or after addition of organic debris. Conclusions Hot, humid air effectively decontaminates materials contaminated with dirty Bacillus spore preparations; debris and material interactions create complex decontamination kinetic patterns; and B. thuringiensis Al Hakam is a realistic surrogate for B. anthracis. Significance and Impact of the Study Response surface models of hot, humid air decontamination were developed which may be used to select decontamination parameters for contamination scenarios including aircraft.

We developed an Arm Immersion Cooling (AIC) system that is not logistically burdensome and may be easily employed in training environments.Purpose: To examine the effect of AIC on EHI incidence, severity, and treatment costs during Ranger School.Methods: The training program was standardized for physical exertion and heat stress factors throughout the study period. AIC was employed summer months of 2010-2012 (n = 3,930 Soldiers) and Control (CON; n = 6,650 Soldiers) data were obtained for summer months of 2007-2009. Descriptive characteristics of all EHI casualties were obtained, including hospitalization status (treated and released [Treat], evacuated [Evac] or admitted [Admit] to the hospital), which served as proxy indicator of illness/injury severity. Medical cost savings were calculated from hospital records.Results: Incidence rates were not different (CON 4.06 vs. AIC 4.00/1,000 person-days). Treat increased during AIC (18.43 vs. 4.84/1,000 person-days) accompanied by marked but non-significant decreases in Evac and Admit rates. AIC use was associated with a medical cost savings of $1,719 per casualty.Conclusions: AIC implementation during strenuous physical training in summer months can reduce EHI severity and associated medical treatment costs.

Little is known about the sensitivity of the eDNA method. Sensitivity is the probability that the target marker will be detected if it is present in the water body. Methods and tools are needed to assess the sensitivity of sampling protocols, design eDNA surveys, and interpret survey results. In this study, the sensitivity of the eDNA method is modeled as a function of ambient target marker concentration. The model accounts for five steps of sample collection and analysis, including: 1) collection of a filtered water sample from the source; 2) extraction of DNA from the filter and isolation in a purified elution; 3) removal of aliquots from the elution for use in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay; 4) PCR; and 5) genetic sequencing. The model is applicable to any target species. For demonstration purposes, the model is parameterized for bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) assuming sampling protocols used in the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS). Simulation results show that eDNA surveys have a high false negative rate at low concentrations of the genetic marker. This is attributed to processing of water samples and division of the extraction elution in preparation for the PCR assay. Increases in field survey sensitivity can be achieved by increasing sample volume, sample number, and PCR replicates. Increasing sample volume yields the greatest increase in sensitivity. It is recommended that investigators estimate and communicate the sensitivity of eDNA surveys to help facilitate interpretation of eDNA survey results. In the absence of such information, it is difficult to evaluate the results of surveys in which no water samples test positive for the target marker. It is also recommended that invasive species managers articulate concentration-based sensitivity objectives for eDNA surveys. In the absence of such information, it is difficult to design appropriate sampling protocols. The model provides insights into how sampling protocols can be designed or modified to achieve these sensitivity objectives.

Films with an Sb fraction up to 42% were synthesized by alternating GaN-GaSb layers at a constant temperature of 325 °C. The measured optical absorption data of the films are interpreted using a modified band anticrossing model that is applicable to highly mismatched alloys such as GaN1-xSbx in the entire composition range. The presented model allows us to more accurately determine the band gap as well as the band edges over the entire composition range thereby providing means for determining the composition for, e.g., efficient spontaneous photoelectrochemical cell applications.

Biofilms are less susceptible to host inflammatory and immune responses and have higher antibiotic tolerance than free-living planktonic cells. Developing treatments against biofilms requires an understanding of bacterial biofilm-specific physiological traits. Research efforts have started to elucidate the intricate mechanisms underlying biofilm development. However, many aspects of these mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we addressed questions regarding biofilm metabolism using a genome-scale kinetic model of the P. aeruginosa metabolic network and gene expression profiles. Specifically, we computed metabolite concentration differences between known mutants with altered biofilm formation and the wild-type strain to predict drug targets against P. aeruginosa biofilms. We also simulated the altered metabolism driven by gene expression changes between biofilm and stationary growth-phase planktonic cultures. Our analysis suggests that the synthesis of important biofilm-related molecules, such as the quorum-sensing molecule Pseudomonas quinolone signal and the exopolysaccharide Psl, is regulated not only through the expression of genes in their own synthesis pathway, but also through the biofilm-specific expression of genes in pathways competing for precursors to these molecules. Finally, we investigated why mutants defective in anthranilate degradation have an impaired ability to form biofilms. Alternative to a previous hypothesis that this biofilm reduction is caused by a decrease in energy production, we proposed that the dysregulation of the synthesis of secondary metabolites derived from anthranilate and chorismate is what impaired the biofilms of these mutants. Notably, these insights generated through our kinetic model-based approach are not accessible from previous constraint-based model analyses of P. aeruginosa biofilm metabolism. Our simulation results showed that plausible, non-intuitive explanations of difficult-to-interpret experimental observations could be generated by integrating genome-scale kinetic models with gene expression profiles.

Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

This qualitative study used criterion purposeful sampling and thematic analysis in analysis of data from 31 African-American cancer patients to understand the influence of religion on the utilization of cancer care services. Our findings suggest that religious beliefs and practices positively influenced attitudes toward their illness and ability to endure treatment. God's ability to heal and cure, God's control over survival, God's will over their lives, and God's promise for health and prosperity were examples of survivor's religious beliefs. Religious practices such as prayer promoted a trusting relationship with healthcare providers and were a source of strength and encouragement.

The Hugoniot for six different structures which vary by structure or stoichiometry were computed and compared to experimental data. The effect of stoichiometry, and structural variation within a given stoichiometry, are shown to have marked effects on the shock properties with some compositions displaying bilinear behavior in the computed shock velocity-particle velocity profiles while others show a continuous Hugoniot curve with no evidence of a phase transition over the pressure range considered in this work. Two structures, B12( CBC) and B11Cp( CCB), have predicted phase transition pressures lying within the 40-50 GPa range suggested experimentally. It is shown that the phase transition is driven by deformation of the 3-atom chain within the boron carbide crystal structure which induces a discontinuous volume change at the critical shock pressure. The effect of defects, in the form of chain vacancies, on the shock response is presented and the ability of shear to significantly lower the phase transition pressure, in accord with experimental observation, is demonstrated.

This paper looks at the possibility of stabilizing slung loads in forward flight by imposing a slow steady rotation in yaw (spin stabilization). Slow rotations of 100-150 deg/s suffice to suppress the pendulum motions of the load. A swivel is required at the hook, and only a few foot-pounds of yaw moment are needed to overcome swivel friction and impose the desired yaw rate. The approach is limited to single-point suspensions. A stabilizer design consisting of a one-shaft anemometer-like device with hemispherical cups at the ends was developed in wind tunnel tests. The shaft angle can be controlled to vary the applied yaw moment and allow feedback regulation of the load yaw rate. Flight tests with two cargo containers demonstrated that a simple linear control law with fixed gains was effective in maintaining the desired yaw rate in forward flight over the range of configurations of the test loads. Wind tunnel data were obtained at all stages of the development and testing and proved to be an accurate source of design data and an accurate predictor of performance in flight.

If time varies significantly between black and white children, this may help explain the large racial gap in test scores and wages. In this study, I use data from the American Time Use Survey to examine the patterns in the time black and white children receive from mothers at each age between birth and age 14 years. I relate patterns in parenting time to trends in human capital formation observed in the literature. I observe that black children spend significantly less time with their mothers than white children in the first years of life. However, differences in parenting time rapidly decline with age and there are never significant differences in teaching time after socioeconomic variables are controlled. My findings suggest that the black–white human capital gap is unlikely to be driven by differences in teaching time or differences in parenting time after children enter school.

JO - Experimental Thermal & Fluid Science JF - Experimental Thermal & Fluid Science Y1 - 2017/06// VL - 84 M3 - Article SP - 165 EP - 178 SN - 08941777 AB - The current study examines the relationship between internal/fluidic and external/wall temperature measurements along the adiabatic section of an operating tubular oscillating heat pipe (T-OHP) for varying heat inputs. Temperature measurements were achieved using type-T thermocouples located either inside or along the OHP wall in the region between the evaporator and condenser. Measurements were utilized to elucidate the effects of wall thermal capacitance, external wall temperature gradient, and internal fluid advection. The internal, single-phase heat transfer coefficient was estimated, and the effective thermal conductivity of the OHP was determined. A 4-turn copper T-OHP (3.25 mm ID) was charged with water (75% by volume) and tested in the bottom-heating condition. Heat input was varied in increments of 25 W from 60 W to 300 W. Results indicate that the external thermocouples were unable to capture frequency components larger than ∼1 Hz. Internal measurements indicate that average, evaporator-side fluid oscillation frequencies varied from ∼1.5 Hz at 60 W to ∼2.5 Hz at 300 W, whereas condenser-side frequencies remained fairly constant at ∼0.5 Hz. The frequency transfer function corresponding to the thermal resistance network between the internal/external thermocouples was found to be constant across all tested power inputs. The low-frequency, large-amplitude changes in internal temperature associated with bulk fluid motion were not immediately measured at the external OHP tube surface. The effective thermal conductivity calculated using only external temperature measurements was found to be 4–12% lower than that calculated using internal measurements. The maximum, calculated effective thermal conductivity using internal or external temperature measurements was 15,300 W/m·K and 14,000 W/m·K, respectively. This difference arises from there being a smaller, length-wise temperature gradient along the fluid columns than along the tube wall due to the strong advection component of OHP heat transfer. Tube wall conduction was found to account for 2–10% of the overall heat transfer, with its significance decreasing as fluid advection increased at higher heat inputs. The heat transfer coefficient for single-phase fluid oscillation inside the OHP was estimated to be ∼1000 W/m 2 K for power inputs larger than 100 W; corresponding to Nusselt numbers between 4 and 6.

Respondents were asked to evaluate the same samples of Italian Simmental meat provided with the two different labels. Liking scores were obtained using a 9-point scale and the emotions from the EsSense25 list were scored on 5-point scale (1 = “not at all”, 5 = “extremely”). A positive and significant effect of OIS information was highlighted on liking scores. Moreover, the breeding system information significantly affected 22 out of the 25 emotions. OIS label elicited higher positive and lower negative feelings about the meat than did the C label. Providing the same beef with different breeding information led to different emotions being evoked in consumers, and these differences in emotions were associated with different levels of liking for beef.

T1 - Evaluating the significance of wetland restoration scenarios on phosphorus removal. JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2017/05// VL - 192 M3 - Article SP - 184 EP - 196 SN - 03014797 AB - Freshwater resources are vital for human and natural systems. However, anthropogenic activities, such as agricultural practices, have led to the degradation of the quality of these limited resources through pollutant loading. Agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as wetlands, are recommended as a valuable solution for pollutant removal. However, evaluation of their long-term impacts is difficult and requires modeling since performing in-situ monitoring is expensive and not feasible at the watershed scale. In this study, the impact of natural wetland implementation on total phosphorus reduction was evaluated both at the subwatershed and watershed levels. The study area is the Saginaw River Watershed, which is largest watershed in Michigan. The phosphorus reduction performances of four different wetland sizes (2, 4, 6, and 8 ha) were evaluated within this study area by implementing one wetland at a time in areas identified to have the highest potential for wetland restoration. The subwatershed level phosphorus loads were obtained from a calibrated Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. These loads were then incorporated into a wetland model (System for Urban Stormwater Treatment and Analysis IntegratioN-SUSTAIN) to evaluate phosphorus reduction at the subwatershed level and then the SWAT model was again used to route phosphorus transport to the watershed outlet. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the spatial impact of wetland size and placement on phosphorus reduction. Overall, the performance of 2 ha wetlands in total phosphorus reduction was significantly lower than the larger sizes at both the subwatershed and watershed levels. Regarding wetland implementation sites, wetlands located in headwaters and downstream had significantly higher phosphorus reduction than the ones located in the middle of the watershed. More specifically, wetlands implemented at distances ranging from 200 to 250 km and 50–100 km from the outlet had the highest impact on phosphorus reduction at the subwatershed and watershed levels, respectively. A multi criteria decision making (MCDM) method named VIKOR was successfully executed to identify the most suitable wetland size and location for each subwatershed considering the phosphorus reduction and economic cost associated with wetland implementation. The methods introduced in this study can be easily applied to other watersheds for selection and placement of wetlands while considering environmental benefits and economic costs.

JO - Brain & Cognition JF - Brain & Cognition Y1 - 2017/04// VL - 113 M3 - Article SP - 32 EP - 39 SN - 02782626 AB - The human extrastriate cortex contains a region critically involved in face detection and memory, the right fusiform gyrus. The present study evaluated whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting this anatomical region would selectively influence memory for faces versus non-face objects (houses). Anodal tDCS targeted the right fusiform gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 37), with the anode at electrode site PO10, and cathode at FP2. Two stimulation conditions were compared in a repeated-measures design: 0.5 mA versus 1.5 mA intensity; a separate control group received no stimulation. Participants completed a working memory task for face and house stimuli, varying in memory load from 1 to 4 items. Individual differences measures assessed trait-based differences in facial recognition skills. Results showed 1.5 mA intensity stimulation (versus 0.5 mA and control) increased performance at high memory loads, but only with faces. Lower overall working memory capacity predicted a positive impact of tDCS. Results provide support for the notion of functional specialization of the right fusiform regions for maintaining face (but not non-face object) stimuli in working memory, and further suggest that low intensity electrical stimulation of this region may enhance demanding face working memory performance particularly in those with relatively poor baseline working memory skills.

Each system was compared to laboratory-based real-ear attenuation at threshold (REAT) measurements in a sound field according to ANSI/ASA S12.6-2008 at the NIOSH, Honeywell Safety Products, and Michael & Associates testing laboratories. An identical study was conducted independently at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL), which provided their data for inclusion in this article. The Howard Leight Airsoft premolded earplug was tested with twenty subjects at each of the four participating laboratories. The occluded fit of the earplug was maintained during testing with a soundfield-based laboratory REAT system as well as all three headphone-based fit-test systems. The Michael & Associates lab had the highest average A-weighted attenuations and smallest standard deviations. The NIOSH lab had the lowest average attenuations and the largest standard deviations. Differences in octave-band attenuations between each fit-test system and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sound field method were calculated (Attenfit-test- AttenANSI). A-weighted attenuations measured with FitCheck and HPD Well-Fit systems demonstrated approximately ±2 dB agreement with the ANSI sound field method, but A-weighted attenuations measured with the VeriPRO system underestimated the ANSI laboratory attenuations. For each of the fit-test systems, the average A-weighted attenuation across the four laboratories was not significantly greater than the average of the ANSI sound field method. Standard deviations for residual attenuation differences were about ±2 dB for FitCheck and HPD Well-Fit compared to ±4 dB for VeriPRO. Individual labs exhibited a range of agreement from less than a dB to as much as 9.4 dB difference with ANSI and REAT estimates. Factors such as the experience of study participants and test administrators, and the fit-test psychometric tasks are suggested as possible contributors to the observed results.

Thus, they have a profound effect on the microstructure, plastic deformation, and mechanical properties of interest to the engineer. Disconnections glide along interfaces, procedurally moving the interface by a characteristic step by causing the parent crystal to change its structure and/or orientation. The intrinsic deformation caused by this process depends on the character of the active disconnection among other possible disconnection candidates. While for phase transformations admissible defects depend on the extent of long-range diffusion, in general, the selection process of active disconnections is highly affected by their mobility. In deformation twinning, the magnitude of the characteristic shear, the complexity of local atomic rearrangements, and step height have been all shown to determine the disconnection’s possible activation and typical growth rate and thereby the morphology of the associated twin. However, despite these seminal refinements, no formal criterion exists yet which predicts the most active disconnection in comparison to other possible deformation modes. There is still confusion, for example, about the dependence of twinning on the c / a ratio, i.e. why a certain twin mode would appear in a given hexagonal metal and not in another one. This paper fills these gaps by introducing a new quantitative metric for disconnection mobility, and an example application is extended for the case of deformation twinning in hexagonal-close packed metals. This metric draws inspiration from the generalized stacking fault concept which is only relevant for bulk defects.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2017/04// VL - 102 M3 - Article SP - 47 EP - 54 SN - 0734743X AB - In this paper, the impact-induced fragmentation of a commercially available hot-pressed boron carbide is explored. Fragmentation has been noted previously by many authors to be important in the impact performance of advanced ceramics, and so this paper seeks to provide some of the first near-complete and detailed measurements of individual fragment size and shape distributions available in the literature. Fragment size and shapes are quantified using methods developed in previous papers by the authors, and results reveal that two distinct fragmentation mechanisms exist as a consequence of the impact failure of boron carbide: one mechanism that creates small fragments that is associated with the coalescence of fractures originating from carbonaceous defects in the material, and one that creates larger fragments that is associated with structural failure (e.g., radial and circumferential cracking). While these mechanisms are similar to those noted for uniaxial compressive failure, results presented here highlight the importance of fragment shape as a consequence of impact failure. Namely, results indicate that both blocky and shard fragments are formed during impact into a boron carbide plate. Blocky and shard fragment types span across both the small and large fragmentation mechanisms. Using Scanning Electron Microscopy, blocky fragments were found to be associated with the predominant growth of cracks parallel to the impact direction, while shard fragments contain fracture surfaces that are associated with crack growth and coalescence in a direction perpendicular to the impact direction. The shards are, thus, believed to be a consequence of structural bending. No amorphous features were found on any blocky or shard fragments observed in this study (determined using Raman Spectroscopy), suggesting brittle fracture may be the dominant mechanisms that creates the shard fragments. Altogether, the implications of these results is that one can control fragment size and shape by controlling the carbonaceous defects population in boron carbide. This should help in the design of next-generation advanced ceramics for personal protection.

ISO 13474 dictates that a weighted set of propagation condition-specific tables shall be used within the noise assessment. In this paper we explore the differences between noise assessments using local conditions and the averaged condition. We found that the assessed annual C-weighted sound exposure level (CSEL) using conditions for seven geographically different locations differed by up to 3 dB in the four cardinal directions for distances up to 10 km, indicating that an average propagation condition may be satisfactory for most locations.

JO - Ecological Engineering JF - Ecological Engineering Y1 - 2017/04// VL - 101 M3 - Article SP - 91 EP - 106 SN - 09258574 AB - Anthropogenic modifications alter the hydrodynamics of rivers and can affect the movement of aquatic organisms. The upper Niagara River is home to a trophically important minnow species, the emerald shiner ( Notropis atherinoides ) who appear to have difficulty traversing a stretch of the shoreline seawall along Broderick Park, Buffalo, NY, USA. The goal of this study was to determine if the upstream movement of emerald shiners was affected by the current hydrodynamic conditions along the US shoreline at Broderick Park in the Niagara River. Field point-velocity measurements were collected using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter along the US shoreline of the upper Niagara River adjacent to Broderick Park. Results indicate that this highly modified stretch of the shoreline is characterized by velocities beyond the swimming capability of emerald shiners (0.59 m s −1 ) and turbulence conditions that are not conducive to fish movement as quantified by turbulent kinetic energy, Reynolds shear stress, integral length scales and the energy associated with eddies of a problematic size range (55–400 mm). Therefore, the seawall upstream of the shoreline recess along Broderick Park is likely to be a barrier to the upstream passage of emerald shiners into Lake Erie. This study also provides an effective method to determine the location of potential barriers to fish passage.

JO - Applied Energy JF - Applied Energy Y1 - 2017/04// VL - 191 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 21 SN - 03062619 AB - Low illumination (10 −4 suns) and indoor light energy harvesting is needed to meet the demands of zero net energy (ZNE) building, Internet of Things (IoT), and beta-photovoltaic energy harvesting systems to power remote sensors. Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells under low intensity and narrow (±40 nm) light spectrum conditions are not well characterized nor developed, especially for commercially available devices and scalable systems. PV operating characteristics under 1 sun illumination decrease at lower light intensity and narrow spectrum conditions (efficiency drops from ∼25% at 100 mW opt /cm 2 to 2% at 1 μW opt /cm 2 ). By choosing a PV with a bandgap that matches the light source operating wavelength, the total system efficiency can be improved. By quantifying losses on homojunction photovoltaics (thermalization and leakage current), we have determined the theoretical optimized efficiency for a set of PV material and a selected set of light sources. We measure single-junction solar cells’ parameters under three different light sources (indoor light and narrow spectrum LED sources) with light intensities ranging from 0.5 to 100 μW opt /cm 2 . Measurements show that indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) PV has the highest surface power density and conversion efficiency (29% under ≈1 μW opt /cm 2 from a 523 nm central peak LED). A beta-photovoltaic experimental study identifies InGaP to be optimized for use with the ZnS:Cu, Al and tritium at STP. The results have guided the selection of PV material for scalable isotope batteries and other low-light energy harvesting systems.

The advantage is achieved due to the increase of the effective delay time in the magnonic crystal, compared to the case of an unpatterned yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film, and improvement of the power-handling characteristics due to the now possible increase of the YIG film thickness. The internal modes of a magnonic crystal caused by the periodic energy exchange between the incident and reflected spin waves play the dominant role in the described effect.

We demonstrate that north orientation is not a necessary feature of cognitive maps and instead may arise due to coincidental alignment between cardinal directions and the built and natural environment. Experiment 1 demonstrated that pedestrians have difficulty pointing north while navigating a familiar real-world environment with roads, buildings, and green spaces oriented oblique to cardinal axes. Instead, north estimates tended to be parallel or perpendicular to roads. In Experiment 2, participants did not demonstrate privileged memory access when oriented toward north while making relative direction judgments. Instead, retrieval was fastest and most accurate when orientations were aligned with roads. In sum, cognitive maps are not always oriented north. Rather, in some real-world environments they can be oriented with respect to environment-specific features, serving as convenient reference systems for organizing and using spatial memory.

We present the experience of a large specialty burn center to share our diagnostic and treatment principles. Methods A retrospective review from 1989 to 2010 at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center was performed to find patients with a diagnosis of Steven-Johnson syndrome ( SJS) or TEN. Information was obtained on demographic and physiologic parameters such as age, race, total body surface area involved, treatments, hospital stay, and need for ventilator support. Results We identified SJS or TEN in 21 patients. Prescription drugs were the most common etiology (in 15 patients), with antibiotics as the most common causative agent. Histology confirmed the clinical diagnosis of TEN in 14 patients. Our treatment plan included a multidisciplinary team, early initiation of intravenous immunoglobulin, bronchoscopy, strict management of electrolyte and fluid balances, and meticulous surgical wound care. Mortality was 9.5%. Conclusion Our experience in treating this rare but devastating disease affords us the opportunity to share the diagnostic dilemmas we faced and the treatment principles we used to treat this unique patient population successfully.

SN - 16167341 AB - Mathematical models designed to simulate the movement of cohesive and cohesionless particles require as input the diameter d specifying the transition between these two transport modes. As an effort to identify this diameter, Migniot (La Houille Blanche, 7, 591-620, 1968) measured in a water-filled column the settling velocities of flocs and respective deflocculated particles of mainly mineral cohesive sediments. The data were plotted as the ratio of the floc settling velocity to the particle velocity, called the flocculation factor F, against particle diameter d. The trend line was found to approximately follow an empirical power-law such that F increased rapidly as d decreased below d estimated to be about 30 μm at F = 1. Assuming fractal self-similarity among falling flocs, the power-law exponent of 5/3 is shown to correspond to a fractal dimension of 2.65 implying that the flocs were densely packed. The diameter d depends on the electrochemical properties of the suspended particles as well as the kinetics of floc growth and breakup, hence to an extent on the method of determination of d. Its value deduced more directly from measurement of the critical shear stress for erosion of flocs at the surface of cohesive sediment beds has been reported to be about 10 μm, which is lower than 30 μm. Among other reasons, it is likely that the difference is rooted in the limited experimental information available as well as difficulty in characterizing the effect of highly graded distributions of the particle settling velocity.

Since studies dating back to 1992 have suggested that DMPA may increase the transmission of HIV to women, we endeavored to determine if the extant epidemiological and biological evidence is sufficient to conclude that DMPA use constitutes a definite hazard to women's health. Methods: We searched Medline using the search terms: contraceptives or contraception AND HIV and searched bibliographies of articles thus identified. We included in the meta-analysis all studies examining the association between use of DMPA (or injectable contraceptives comprising mostly DMPA) and the presence (cross-sectional studies, n = 8) or acquisition (longitudinal studies, n = 16) of HIV+ status in women, using a random effects models to estimate odds ratios (ORs; cross-sectional studies) and hazard ratios (HRs; longitudinal studies). Studies were excluded if the comparison group included women using any form of steroidal contraception. Results: Statistically significant positive associations between DMPA use and HIV positivity were observed both in cross-sectional (OR = 1.41, 95% Cl 1.15 - 1.73) and longitudinal studies (HR = 1.49, 95% Cl 1.28 - 1.73). The biological plausibility of increased vulnerability to HIV infection due to progestational action (via thinning of the vaginal epithelial barrier and immunosuppression) as well as glucocorticoid agonistic immunosuppression, are discussed. Conclusion: The epidemiological and biological evidence now make a compelling case that DMPA adds significantly to the risk of male-to-female HIV transmission.

At each generation, it determines the parental population size that promises the largest fitness gain, based on the information collected during the evolutionary process. In this paper, we develop an adaptive variant of a (μ/μ, λ) evolution strategy. Based on considerations on the sphere, we derive two approaches for adaptive population sizing. We then test these approaches empirically on the sphere model using a normalized mutation strength and cumulative mutation strength adaption. Finally, we compare the methodology on more general functions with a fixed population, covariance matrix adaption evolution strategy (CMA-ES). The results confirm that our adaptive population sizing methods yield better results than even the best fixed population size.

(2014) sought to derive, from classical ethical theories, the ethical obligation of psychologists to assist “enhanced interrogations and torture” (EIT) in national defense scenarios under strict EIT criteria. They asked the American Psychological Association to adopt an ethics code obligating psychologists to assist such EIT and to uphold the reputation of EIT psychologists. We contest the authors’ ethical analyses as supports for psychologists’ forays into torture interrogation when (if ever) the EIT criteria obtain. We also contend that the authors’ application of these ethical analyses violates the Geneva Conventions, contravenes military doctrine and operations, and undermines psychology as a profession. We conclude that “good” public reputation is not owed to, or expected by, “good” intelligence professionals, and collaborating operational psychologists must share their providence.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2015/08/24/ VL - 10 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 19 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Protein tyrosine phosphatases dephosphorylate tyrosine residues of proteins, whereas, dual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are a subgroup of protein tyrosine phosphatases that dephosphorylate not only Tyr(P) residue, but also the Ser(P) and Thr(P) residues of proteins. The DUSPs are linked to the regulation of many cellular functions and signaling pathways. Though many cellular targets of DUSPs are known, the relationship between catalytic activity and substrate specificity is poorly defined. We investigated the interactions of peptide substrates with select DUSPs of four types: MAP kinases (DUSP1 and DUSP7), atypical (DUSP3, DUSP14, DUSP22 and DUSP27), viral (variola VH1), and Cdc25 (A-C). Phosphatase recognition sites were experimentally determined by measuring dephosphorylation of 6,218 microarrayed Tyr(P) peptides representing confirmed and theoretical phosphorylation motifs from the cellular proteome. A broad continuum of dephosphorylation was observed across the microarrayed peptide substrates for all phosphatases, suggesting a complex relationship between substrate sequence recognition and optimal activity. Further analysis of peptide dephosphorylation by hierarchical clustering indicated that DUSPs could be organized by substrate sequence motifs, and peptide-specificities by phylogenetic relationships among the catalytic domains. The most highly dephosphorylated peptides represented proteins from 29 cell-signaling pathways, greatly expanding the list of potential targets of DUSPs. These newly identified DUSP substrates will be important for examining structure-activity relationships with physiologically relevant targets.

To attempt to explain the long-term maintenance of members of this group, we followed Ornithodoros parkeri, O. sonrai, and O. tartakovskyi for >2,900 days after they had been exposed to Karshi virus, a member of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group. Methodology/Principal Findings: Ticks were exposed to Karshi virus either by allowing them to feed on viremic suckling mice or by intracoelomic inoculation. The ticks were then allowed to feed individually on suckling mice after various periods of extrinsic incubation to determine their ability to transmit virus by bite and to determine how long the ticks would remain infectious. The ticks remained efficient vectors of Karshi virus, even when tested >2,900 d after their initial exposure to virus, including those ticks exposed to Karshi virus either orally or by inoculation. Conclusions/Significance: Ornithodoros spp. ticks were able to transmit Karshi virus for >2,900 days (nearly 8 years) after a single exposure to a viremic mouse. Therefore, these ticks may serve as a long-term maintenance mechanism for Karshi virus and potentially other members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group.

In these devices, the conversion processes are enhanced by nanoscale potential barriers and/or AlGaAs atomically thin barriers around QDs, which prevent photoelectron capture to QDs. Under concentrated radiation, the short circuit current increases proportionally to the concentration and the open circuit voltage shows the logarithmic increase. In the range up to hundred Suns, the contributions of QDs to the photocurrent are proportional to the light concentration. The ideality factors of 1.1-1.3 found from the VOC-Sun characteristics demonstrate effective suppression of recombination processes in barrier-separated QDs. The conversion efficiency shows the wide maximum in the range of 40-90 Suns and reaches 21.6%. Detailed analysis of I-V-Sun characteristics shows that at low intensities, the series resistance decreases inversely proportional to the concentration and, at ~40 Suns, reaches the plateau determined mainly by the front contact resistance. Improvement of contact resistance would increase efficiency to above 24% at thousand Suns.

In this work, we perform nanoindentation simulations using atomistic molecular dynamics to study the mechanical properties of heterostructures formed by combining MoS2 with graphene. We consider both bi- and tri-layer heterostructures formed with MoS2 either supported or encapsulated by graphene. Mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, bending modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strain, are extracted from nanoindentation simulations and compared to the monolayer and homogeneous bilayer systems. We observed that the heterostructures, regardless of the stacking order, are mechanically more robust than the mono- and bi-layer MoS2, mainly due to the mechanical reinforcement provided by the graphene layer. The magnitudes of ultimate strength and fracture strain are similar for both the bi- and tri-layer heterostructures, but substantially larger than either the mono- and bi-layer MoS2. Our results demonstrate the potential of graphene-based heterostructures to improve the mechanical properties of TMDC materials.

The fundamental band gap as well as two higher-order electronic transitions blue-shift with increasing Cd composition in Hg1-xCdxSe, as expected. Representing the free carrier absorption with a Drude oscillator, we found that the effective masses of Hg1-xCdxSe (grown on ZnTe/Si) vary between 0.028 and 0.050 times the free electron mass, calculated using the values of carrier concentration and the mobility obtained through Hall measurements. Using these effective masses, we determined the carrier concentrations of Hg1-xCdxSe samples grown on GaSb, which is of significance as films grown on such doped-substrates posit ambiguous results when measured by conventional Hall experiments. These models can serve as a basis for monitoring Cd-composition during sample growth through in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry.

SN - 00222461 AB - Because surface treatments of high-performance fibers have previously resulted in increased friction and improved impact performance, it was of interest to evaluate the influence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on impact performance and contributing constituent properties of Kevlar. Kevlar K129 yarns and fabrics were modified via sonication in a solution of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and MWNTs. This method has the potential to both improve the intrinsic properties of the fibers themselves as well as increase the friction, with very low mass addition. Tensile, static friction, and pull-out tests were performed to compare the properties of MWNT-treated materials to neat. As a result of MWNT augmentation, yarn modulus increased up to 15 %, and static and kinetic friction coefficients increased up to 30 %. Yarn pull-out tests revealed up to a 230 % increase in the forces required to pull-out yarns. To study the effects of MWNT augmentation on dynamic performance, low-velocity impact tests of steel spheres on a single ply of fabric were performed. These experiments demonstrated approximately 50 % increase in ballistic limit for MWNT-treated Kevlar with negligible (0.4-1.4 %) increase in mass. Entanglement among MWNTs along with increased surface roughness and surface area increased the resistance to motion, improving impact performance by increasing the energy required to pull-out yarns from the textile, while inhibiting textile windowing and driving a larger number of yarn failures. The observed changes in fabric response suggest that MWNT treatments have the potential to improve the ballistic limit of fabrics through increased interfilament and interyarn friction without compromising fiber strength or adding significant mass.

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how U.S. Army officers attending the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) decided to enroll in a master's degree program. Four research questions guided the study to determine whether and how career requirements, post-military aspirations, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced the choice to pursue a master's degree. A conceptual framework comprised career development, career decision making, and adult development that provided additional guidance. The study used a case study methodology, and 26 military students participated. Data collection comprised interview and surveys, and data analysis comprised coding with peer review and member checking. The findings affirmed the research questions and identified themes related to self-efficacy, goal setting, persistence, and time management, leading to implications.

The purpose of this study was to better define the contribution of muscle deficits and volumetric muscle loss (VML) to the designation of long-term disability in order to better understand their effect on outcomes for limb-salvage patients. Medically retired servicemembers who sustained a combat-related type III open tibia fracture (Orthopedic cohort) were reviewed for results of their medical evaluation leading to discharge from military service. A cohort of battlefield-injured servicemembers (including those with nonorthopedic injuries) who were medically retired because of various injuries (General cohort) was also examined. Muscle conditions accounted for 65% of the disability of patients in the Orthopedic cohort. Among the General cohort, 92% of the muscle conditions were identified as VML. VML is a condition that contributes significantly to long-term disability, and the development of therapies addressing VML has the potential to fill a significant void in orthopedic care.

Sediments from New Bedford Harbor were used as test samples. Six sets of experiments were run for simulated resuspension and residual scenarios. During the experiments, water above the sediments was recirculated by peristaltic pumping or orbital shaking and the levels of two PCBs, Aroclor 1248 (PCB-1248) and Aroclor 1254 (PCB-1254), were monitored for 15 days. Analysis of the model predicted data indicated that resulting water column PCB concentrations differed with sediment surface, residual, and resuspension type. Highest PCB water column concentrations were observed for a condition which used a settled fluff from thin sediment slurry as a residual source and the column water was recirculated by orbital shaking. Lowest water column PCB levels were observed for a thick sediment deposit placed over clean sand. The PCB levels in the water column for all six simulated conditions were several orders higher than the USEPA ambient water quality criteria concentrations for aquatic environment and human consumption.

EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to “push the conversation” on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers.

The current strategy for treating hemorrhagic shock is based on early use of components: Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and platelets in a 1:1:1 ratio. We suggest that lack of components to mimic whole blood functionality favors the use of Fresh Whole Blood in managing hemorrhagic shock on the battlefield. We present a safe and practical approach for its use at the point of injury in the combat environment called Tactical Damage Control Resuscitation. We describe pre-deployment preparation, assessment of hemorrhagic shock, and collection and transfusion of fresh whole blood at the point of injury. By approaching shock with goal-directed therapy, it is possible to extend the period of survivability in combat casualties.

However, the relevance and merit of these credentials can be difficult to determine objectively. Board certification can be a reliable indicator of proficiency if the certifying organization demonstrates, through regularly scheduled independent review, that its processes meet established standards and when a certificate holder is required to periodically demonstrate command of a body of knowledge that is essential to current professional practice. Objective: We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. Discussion: An examination is the most commonly used instrument for testing a certification candidate’s command of the body of knowledge. However, an examination-based certification is only creditable when the body of knowledge, to which a certification examination tests, is representative of the current knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to effectively practice at the professional level. Thus, that body of knowledge must be the current “Standard of Knowledge” for the profession, compiled in a transparent fashion from current practitioners of the profession. Conclusion: This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) depletion dark current (when present) is expected to be the dominant dark current component at low temperatures, and in fact, it is beneficial for the transition from diffusion to G-R to be at such relatively low temperatures. However, it is empirically observed that even for relatively long values of the SRH lifetime (20 μs), the transition occurs at relatively high temperatures (>200K) for material with a cut-off wavelength of 2:5 μm. A key device design parameter of P+-on-n photodiodes is the position of the electrical junction relative to the hetero-metallurgical interface. Junction formation via p-type arsenic implantation into the narrow-gap absorber layer is typically chosen for efficient collection of diffusion current, however, other configurations are possible as well. In this letter, we numerically explore the conditions that reduce depletion dark current without reducing the quantum efficiency (QE). The findings support the assertion that device design conditions exist in SWIR HgCdTe that essentially eliminate the depletion dark current without significantly reducing the QE.

During the second hour, treadmill grade was manipulated between a constant downhill or changing between flat, uphill, and downhill grades. Throughout the prolonged walk, participants performed two cognitive tasks, an auditory go no/go task and a visual target detection task. The main findings were that the number of false alarms increased over time in the loaded condition relative to the unloaded condition on the go no/go auditory task. There were also shifts in response criterion towards responding yes and decreased sensitivity in responding in the loaded condition compared to the unloaded condition. In the visual target detection there were no reliable effects of load carriage in the overall analysis however, there were slower reaction times in the loaded compared to unloaded condition during the second hour.

SN - 07490208 AB - Houston, J.R., 2015. Shoreline response to sea-level rise on the southwest coast of Florida. The state of Florida has a unique database of shoreline position measured about every 300 m and dating back to the mid-1800s that presents an opportunity to determine the effects of sea-level rise on shoreline position. In addition to sea-level rise (Bruun rule initially assumed), data are available on the southwest coast of Florida for other factors contributing to shoreline change, including beach nourishment, inlet shoal change, and longshore sediment transport. The sum of these factors should have caused significant shoreline recession, but instead the average shoreline position of this coast was stable during the early period from the 1800s to the 1970s (prior to beach nourishment) and strongly accretive from the 1800s to the 2000s. When the Bruun rule is used, shoreline change predicted by the sum of the factors compares poorly with measured data, but it compares quite well when the Dean equilibrium concept is used. The Dean equilibrium concept says that under wave action and with sufficient available offshore sand, shorelines will advance with sea-level rise due to onshore sand transport. Long-term shoreline change data for most of the Florida east coast and the Dutch central coast also support the Dean equilibrium concept. The source of the onshore sand transport in southwest Florida is identified. Sea-level rise results in long-term shoreline advance rather than recession for shorelines with sufficient onshore sand movement from beyond closure depth to the active profile, probably during episodic storms.

SN - 07490208 AB - Styles, R., 2015. Flow and turbulence over an oyster reef. Simultaneous measurements of near-bed flow and turbulence were collected on opposite banks of an intertidal channel in the North Inlet/Winyah Bay National Estuary Research Reserve. One bank supported an extensive cover of oysters and the other a mixture of sand and mud. The measurements allow comparisons of flow and turbulence characteristics in a similar flow regime but widely varying roughness conditions. Near-bed velocities are higher over the sandbank and occur during the maximum flood portion of the tidal cycle. In contrast, turbulence parameters are higher over the oyster reef, resulting from the presence of the larger roughness elements. Turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stress components increase as a function of flow speed, consistent with equilibrium boundary layer shear flows. For some bursts, the energy spectrum exhibits a −5/3 slope, indicating a defined inertial subrange. Dissipation over the oyster bank is on the order of 10 cm2 s−3 during maximum flood, when the near-bed current speeds are greatest. Drag coefficient and hydraulic roughness are likewise greater over the oyster bank, with average values of CD = 0.025 and z0 = 0.78 cm compared with CD = 0.004 and z0 = 0.02 cm for the sandbank. The analysis reveals a simple roughness formula for oysters in which the physical bottom roughness is equal to 5 times the average height of the oysters.

Evolution of a swash zone berm nourishment and influence of berm elevation on the performance of beach-nearshore nourishments along Perdido Key, Florida, USA. A nourishment was placed within the swash zone along eastern Perdido Key, Florida, in 2011-2012 using maintenance-dredged material from nearby Pensacola Pass, referred to here as a 'swash zone berm nourishment.' The study area was divided into three sections, the swash zone berm project and two adjacent areas to the west and east, and was monitored with time series beach surveys. The performance of the 2011-2012 nourishment with a constructed berm elevation of +0.91m North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88) was compared with two previous nourishments in 1985 and 1989-1991, with +3.0 m NAVD88 and +1.2 m NAVD88 elevations, respectively. The low elevation for the 2011-2012 nourishment allowed natural overwash processes to occur frequently, which resulted in net onshore sediment transport and growth of the active berm. The swash zone berm evolved back to the natural equilibrium profile shape maintained in the study area within 8 months. The high-wave energy conditions associated with the passages of Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Isaac accelerated the equilibrium process. Sediment volume gain west of the project area due to longshore spreading of the nourishment occurred mostly in the trough between the shoreline and the bar, rather than on the dry beach. In terms of rate of shoreline retreat, the short 1.2-km 1985 nourishment performed the poorest with a rate of 40 m/y. The long 7.3-km 1989-1991 nourishment performed the best with a retreat rate of 11 m/y. This suggests that high berm elevations do not necessarily lead to better nourishment performance. Instead, longshore extent of a nourishment may dominate project performance. Furthermore, the very high nourishment density of 1550 m3/m did not improve nourishment longevity.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 180 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 830 EP - 834 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objectives: Characterize the distribution of foot-strike (FS) patterns in U.S. Army Soldiers and determine if FS patterns are related to self-reported running injuries and performance. Methods: 341 male Soldiers from a U.S. Army Combined Arms Battalion ran at their training pace for 100 meters, and FSs were recorded in the sagittal plane. Participants also completed a survey related to training habits, injury history, and run times. Two researchers classified FS patterns as heel strike (HS) or nonheel strike (NHS, combination of midfoot strike and forefoot strike patterns). Two clinicians classified the musculoskeletal injuries as acute or overuse. The relationship of FS type with two-mile run time and running-related injury was analyzed (p ≤ 0.05). Results: The Soldiers predominately landed with an HS (87%) and only 13% were characterized as NHS. Running-related injury was similar between HS (50.3%) and NHS (55.6%) patterns (p = 0.51). There was no difference (p = 0.14) between overuse injury rates between an HS pattern (31.8%) and an NHS pattern (31.0%). Two-mile run times were also similar, with both groups averaging 14:48 minutes. Conclusion: Soldiers were mostly heel strikers (87%) in this U.S. Army Combined Arms Battalion. Neither FS pattern was advantageous for increased performance or decreased incidence of running-related injury.

The results indicate that it is energetically preferable for a single carbon atom to substitute into an oxygen site rather than a boron site. The lattice parameters and cell volume increase to relieve the residual stress created by the carbon substitution. The interstitial position is not favorable for a single atom substitution. However, if two carbon atoms substitute for two neighboring oxygen atoms, then it becomes energetically favorable to dope an interstitial oxygen, boron, or carbon atom along the C-C chain. If the interstitial dopant is either boron or carbon, a local B4C-like structure with either a C-B-C or C-C-C chain is created within the boron suboxide unit cell. The resulting structure shows improvements in the bulk modulus at the expense of the shear and Young's moduli. The moduli further improve if an additional carbon is substituted within a polar or equatorial site of the neighboring B12 icosahedron. Based on these calculations, we conclude that carbon doping can either harden or soften B6O depending on the manner in which the substitutions are populated. Furthermore, as B6O samples are often oxygen deficient, C doping can occupy such sites and improve the elastic properties.

The Bruun rule is the most widely used method for determining shoreline response to sea level rise, but predictions based only on it are in complete disagreement with measured Florida east coast historical shoreline change. Shoreline change on the Florida east coast has been dominated by factors other than sea level rise, including onshore sand transport, sand loss caused by modified inlets, longshore sand transport gradients, and beach nourishment. An equation is presented with terms that represent all of these factors in addition to the Bruun rule. The equation is used to project shoreline change on the Florida east coast from 2015-2065 and 2015-2100, employing projections of sea level rise from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The shoreline projections are made at three spatial scales -- the entire Florida east coast (shoreline length of 575 km), Flagler County (29 km), and the city of Boca Raton (7.5 km) in Palm Beach County. The projections are made with and without beach nourishment and show that use of beach nourishment is a very effective adaptation strategy to counter projected sea level rise and useful in estimating required rates of future beach nourishment to offset an increasing rate of sea level rise.

JO - Hydrology & Earth System Sciences Discussions JF - Hydrology & Earth System Sciences Discussions Y1 - 2017/02// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 37 SN - 18122108 AB - For much of the last century, forecasting centers around the world have offered seasonal streamflow predictions to support water management. Recent work suggests that the two major avenues to advance seasonal predictability are improvements in the estimation of initial hydrologic conditions (IHCs) and the incorporation of climate information. This study investigates the marginal benefits of a variety of methods using IHC and/or climate information, focusing on seasonal water supply forecasts (WSFs) in five case study watersheds located in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region. We specify two benchmark methods that mimic standard operational approaches - statistical regression against IHCs, and model-based ensemble streamflow prediction (ESP) - and then systematically inter-compare WSFs across a range of lead times. Additional methods include: (i) statistical techniques using climate information either from standard indices or from climate reanalysis variables; and (ii) several hybrid/hierarchical approaches harnessing both land surface and climate predictability. In basins where atmospheric teleconnection signals are strong, and when watershed predictability is low, climate information alone provides considerable improvements. For those basins showing weak teleconnections, custom predictors from reanalysis fields were more effective in forecast skill than standard climate indices. ESP predictions tended to have high correlation skill but greater bias compared to other methods, and climate predictors failed to substantially improve these deficiencies within a trace weighting framework. Lower complexity techniques were competitive with more complex methods, and the hierarchical expert regression approach introduced here (HESP) provided a robust alternative for skillful and reliable water supply forecasts at all initialization times. Three key findings from this effort are: (1) objective approaches supporting methodologically consistent hindcasts open the door to a broad range of beneficial forecasting strategies; (2) the use of climate predictors can add to the seasonal forecast skill available from IHCs; and (3) sample size limitations must be handled rigorously to avoid over-trained forecast solutions. Overall, the results suggest that despite a rich, long heritage of operational use, there remain a number of compelling opportunities to improve the skill and value of seasonal streamflow predictions.

Abstract: In pyrophilic ecosystems, woody plants are repeatedly injured or topkilled (i.e. aboveground tissue is killed) by frequent fires, and many woody species persist in these systems through resprouting. Yet, many vigorously resprouting plants appear unable to persist in frequently burned landscapes. The success of resprouters has generally been attributed to the ability of these plants to store and remobilize carbohydrate reserves. For resprouting species, persistence might not be determined by resource reserves, but rather by their ability to prevent spread of wood decay after injury, there by maintaining the integrity of belowground organs. We hypothesized that species that persist in frequently burned areas are most capable of containing the extent of wood decay. To this end, we measured variables previously identified to limit the extent of decay in woody plants, including plant size, wood density, and lignin and extractable phenolic concentrations, on five woody species that occur along a fire frequency gradient in the Sandhills physiographic region of North Carolina, USA. We induced topkill by coppicing 19-20 individuals of each species. At 9 and 19 months after coppicing, we harvested the root crowns of half of the individuals per species. We found that the most fire-tolerant species ( Quercus laevis) had the least amount of wood decay overall and the greatest wood density and lignin and phenolic concentrations. Q. laevis also had the least decay at both the 9- and 19-month post-coppicing harvest dates. We suggest that wood decay compartmentalization is a potentially overlooked aspect of resprouting success.

Workshop findings are presented from breakout sessions on critical energy infrastructure, ports and waterways, and emergency management. These prompted the examination of new perspectives on building resilience into lifeline infrastructure systems (lifelines which are critical infrastructure), including a call for new Pacific Northwest regional, collaborative, crosssector public-private leadership groups to develop coordinated restoration priorities, and enacting policies to promote, enforce, and track the building of resilience in complex, interdependent infrastructure systems. Finally, the resilience prism is introduced, which displays the link between critical infrastructure resilience and the Triple 3 Resilience Target to address postdisaster needs for both individuals and communities.

JO - Canadian Entomologist JF - Canadian Entomologist Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 149 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 0008347X AB - Two aberrant ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) specimens from the genus Calosoma Weber, 1801 were collected in Waco, Texas, United States of America, in 2012–2013. The specimens, which are morphologically most similar to Calosoma wilcoxi LeConte, 1848, but are dark blue-black instead of the typical metallic green. We employed DNA barcoding and phylogenetic methods to confirm the identities of the aberrant specimens. Preliminary phylogenetic analyses of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences of central Texas and southwestern species place the aberrant specimens with 100% confidence as C. wilcoxi. The new variant of C. wilcoxi presumably occurs at low densities. Frequent collecting from 2011 to 2014 resulted in the discovery of only two of the aberrant coloured individuals among hundreds of typical green specimens. These specimens (to our knowledge) represent the first published record of melanistic Calosoma from North America. While the majority of North American species in the genus are naturally black, two of the most widely distributed and abundant species, C. scrutator (Fabricius, 1775) and C. wilcoxi, are typically green. We sequenced the aberrant form as well as all species co-occurring with the new colour morph at the collection locality and used records from GenBank and the Barcode of Life Data System to generate a preliminary phylogeny of the genus, which suggested that some of the currently established subgenera are likely not monophyletic.

JO - Environmental Pollution JF - Environmental Pollution Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 221 M3 - Article SP - 427 EP - 436 SN - 02697491 AB - Evaluating potential adverse effects of complex chemical mixtures in the environment is challenging. One way to address that challenge is through more integrated analysis of chemical monitoring and biological effects data. In the present study, water samples from five locations near two municipal wastewater treatment plants in the St. Croix River basin, on the border of MN and WI, USA, were analyzed for 127 organic contaminants. Known chemical-gene interactions were used to develop site-specific knowledge assembly models (KAMs) and formulate hypotheses concerning possible biological effects associated with chemicals detected in water samples from each location. Additionally, hepatic gene expression data were collected for fathead minnows ( Pimephales promelas ) exposed in situ , for 12 d, at each location. Expression data from oligonucleotide microarrays were analyzed to identify functional annotation terms enriched among the differentially-expressed probes. The general nature of many of the terms made hypothesis formulation on the basis of the transcriptome-level response alone difficult. However, integrated analysis of the transcriptome data in the context of the site-specific KAMs allowed for evaluation of the likelihood of specific chemicals contributing to observed biological responses. Thirteen chemicals (atrazine, carbamazepine, metformin, thiabendazole, diazepam, cholesterol, p-cresol, phenytoin, omeprazole, ethyromycin, 17β-estradiol, cimetidine, and estrone), for which there was statistically significant concordance between occurrence at a site and expected biological response as represented in the KAM, were identified. While not definitive, the approach provides a line of evidence for evaluating potential cause-effect relationships between components of a complex mixture of contaminants and biological effects data, which can inform subsequent monitoring and investigation.

Earlier this decade, the US military experienced both the repeals of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy and the exclusion of women from combat, yet transgender people are prohibited from serving openly in the military. This study explores tolerance toward perceived gender nonconformity by military affiliation, race/ethnicity, sex, religious affiliation, and political leaning. Most members of our sample, regardless of military affiliation, do not report that having a transgender person in the workplace would impact their job. At first glance, military academy and ROTC cadets are least tolerant of transgender people in the military and in society more generally. Further analyses shows that the impact of military affiliation is reduced substantially by controlling for background characteristics, especially political ideology and religious affiliation.

In combat conditions, the resources available to support the operation and maintenance of these systems are minimal. Following the failure of a critical system, technical support personnel may take days to arrive via helicopter or ground convoy-leaving soldiers and civilian experts exposed to battlefield risks. To address this problem, the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) developed a suite of systems, Virtual Logistics Assistance Representative (VLAR), with a single purpose: to enable a combat soldier to maintain critical equipment. The CECOM VLAR team uses an operations research (OR) approach to codifying expert knowledge about Army equipment and applying that knowledge to troubleshooting equipment diagnostics in combat situations. VLAR infuses a classic knowledge-management spiral with OR techniques: from socializing advanced technical concepts and eliciting tacit knowledge, to integrating expert knowledge, to creating an intuitive and instructive interface, and finally, to making VLAR a part of a soldier's daily life. VLAR is changing the Army's sustainment paradigm by creating an artificial intelligence capability and applying it to equipment diagnostics. In the process, it has generated a sustainable cost-savings model and a means to mitigate combat risk. Through 2015, VLAR saved the Army $27 million in direct labor costs from an investment of $8 million by reducing the requirement for technical support personnel. We project additional direct costs savings of $222 million from an investment of $60 million by the end of 2020. Most importantly, VLAR has prevented an estimated 4,500 casualties by reducing requirements for helicopter and ground-convoy movements. This translates to short- and long-term medical cost savings of over $9 billion. In this paper, we discuss the OR methods that underpin VLAR, at the heart of which lie causal Bayesian networks, and we detail the process we use to translate scientific theory and experiential knowledge into accessible applications for equipment diagnostics.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 257 EP - 269 SN - 00431397 AB - The Bulletin 17B framework assumes that the annual peak flow data included in a flood frequency analysis are from a homogeneous population. However, flood frequency analysis over the western United States is complicated by annual peak flow records that frequently contain annual flows generated from distinctly different flood generating mechanisms. These flood series contain multiple zero flows and/or potentially influential low floods (PILFs) that substantially deviate from the overall pattern in the data. Moreover, they often also contain extreme flood events representing different hydrometeorologic agents. Among the different flood generating mechanisms, atmospheric rivers (ARs) are responsible for large, regional-scale floods. The spatial and fractional contribution of ARs in annual peak flow data is examined based on 1375 long-term U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage sites with at least 30 years of data. Six main areas in which flooding is impacted by ARs at varying degrees were found throughout the western United States. The Pacific Northwest and the northern California coast have the highest fraction of AR-generated peaks (∼80-100%), while eastern Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico have nearly no impacts from ARs. The individual regions of the central Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest, the Sierra Nevada, the central and southern California coast, and central Arizona all show a mixture of 30-70% AR-generated flood peaks. Analyses related to the largest flood peaks on record and to the estimated annual exceedance probabilities highlight the strong impact of ARs on flood hydrology in this region, together with marked regional differences.

To address such concerns, smallmouth bass ( Micropterus dolomieu) were exposed to uncontaminated suspended sediment (nominally 0, 100, 250, and 500 mg/L) continuously for 72 h to determine the effects on egg-hatching success and swim-up fry survival and growth. The test sediments were collected from two harbors: (1) fine-grained sediment in Grand Haven Harbor, Lake Michigan, and (2) coarser-grained sediment in Fairport Harbor, Lake Erie. Eggs exposed to total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations >100 mg/L resulted in decreased survival of post-hatch larval fish. Fry survival was >90 % at the highest exposure concentration (500 mg/L), but growth was decreased when the exposure concentration was >100 mg/L. Growth and survival of swim-up fry held for a 7- and 26-day post-exposure the grow-out period was variable suggesting that the sediment grain size and strain of fish may influence lingering effects after the cessation of exposure. The results suggest that exposed eggs hatched normally; however, newly hatched larvae, which are temporarily immobile, are more vulnerable to the effects of suspended sediment. The swim-up fry were found to be more sensitive to high TSS concentrations in sandy relative to silty sediment. These data represent a conservative exposure scenario that can be extrapolated to high-energy systems in the field to inform management decisions regarding the necessity for dredging windows or need to implement controls to protect M. dolomieu.

Wood has been shown to play a key role in many aspects of stream habitat quality; however, it is in low supply in many Pacific Northwest streams because of wood removal and timber harvest practices in riparian zones. Wood placement for restoration has the potential to benefit salmonid populations. However, common applications often fall short of producing the physical changes necessary to achieve the objectives, such as the formation of deep pools and cover. This study evaluated the hypothesis that wood jams constructed with whole-tree materials, high wood piece counts, and high wood volumes would be effective at creating instream geomorphic complexity, function, and aquatic habitat quality. Results were based on an evaluation of changes to surface sediment textures and channel morphology at eight constructed wood jams built with varying complexity, wood volumes, and whole-tree materials, including large-diameter trees with an attached rootwad, logs, and branches. We found that complex wood jams created statistically significant changes that include increasing percentage pool cover, increasing scour pool habitat, and sorting and metering gravel, resulting in an increase in the proportion of the stream bed composed of gravels appropriately sized for local species of spawning salmonids, increased habitat heterogeneity, and increased gradient and channel width.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 146 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 73 SN - 00028487 AB - Homing and straying in salmon have been extensively studied, yet it has proven difficult to disentangle the biotic and abiotic factors that influence straying. In the Columbia River basin, some juvenile salmon are collected at dams and transported downstream to increase survival during seaward migration, and as returning adults they experience a range of environmental conditions as they ascend the river. We examined 8 years of PIT tag detection data for hatchery-reared, fall-run Chinook SalmonOncorhynchus tshawytschareleased in the Snake River to evaluate the combined effects of juvenile barging, rearing and release locations, and environmental conditions on adult migration speed and straying below and above the Columbia River–Snake River confluence. Straying to the upper Columbia River was 10–19 times more likely among adults that were barged as juveniles from Snake River dams than among adults that were in-river migrants or that were transported from McNary Dam (below the confluence) as juveniles. Similarly, barging from Snake River dams and warmer Columbia River temperatures increased the likelihood of straying into streams below the confluence. Furthermore, adult upstream migration was slower among juveniles that were reared at two mid-Columbia River hatcheries and juveniles that were barged, indicating possible navigational impairment. However, rearing location, release distance, and release age had relatively minimal effects on straying. Collectively, our results indicate that (1) adult migration and homing are affected by a complex combination of processes that take place during smolt out-migration and the adult return migration, and (2) enhancement efforts can inadvertently add to the challenge. The straying of barged fish demonstrates the potential for increasing adult returns to the Snake River by changing the barging process so that it more adequately supports the proper imprinting of juveniles.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 59 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 154 EP - 173 SN - 0364152X AB - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study to identify the highest risk aquatic nuisance species currently established in either the Mississippi River Basin or the Great Lakes Basin and prevent their movement into a new basin. The Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study focuses specifically on aquatic nuisance species movement through the Chicago Area Waterway System, a multi-use waterway connecting the two basins. In support of Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study, we conducted a qualitative risk assessment for 33 aquatic nuisance species over a 50-year period of analysis based on the probability of aquatic nuisance species establishing in a new basin and the environmental, economic, and sociopolitical consequences of their establishment. Probability of establishment and consequences of establishment were assigned qualitative ratings of high, medium, or low after considering the species' current location, mobility, habitat suitability, and impacts in previously invaded systems. The establishment and consequence ratings were then combined into an overall risk rating. Seven species were characterized as posing a medium risk and two species as posing a high risk to the Mississippi River Basin. Three species were characterized as posing a medium risk to the Great Lakes Basin, but no high-risk species were identified for this basin. Risk increased over time for some aquatic nuisance species based on the time frame in which these species were considered likely to establish in the new basin. Both species traits and the need to balance multiple uses of the Chicago Area Waterway System must be considered when identifying control measures to prevent aquatic nuisance species movement between the two basins.

JO - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science JF - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science Y1 - 2016/12/21/Dec2016 Part B VL - 183 M3 - Article SP - 292 EP - 303 SN - 02727714 AB - Currently the Mississippi delta stands as a highly degraded and threatened coastal ecosystem having lost about 25% of coastal wetlands during the 20th century. To address this problem, a $50 billion, 50-year restoration program is underway. A central component of this program is reintroduction of river water back into the deltaic plain to mimic natural functioning of the delta. However, opposition to diversions has developed based on a number of perceived threats. These include over-freshening of coastal estuaries, displacement of fisheries, perceived water quality problems, and assertions that nutrients in river water leads to wetland deterioration. In addition, growing climate impacts and increasing scarcity and cost of energy will make coastal restoration more challenging and limit restoration options. We address these issues in the context of an analysis of natural and artificial diversions, crevasse splays, and small sub-delta lobes. We suggest that episodic large diversions and crevasses (>5000 m 3 s −1 ) can build land quickly while having transient impacts on the estuarine system. Small diversions (<200 m 3 s −1 ) that are more or less continuously operated build land slowly and can lead to over-freshening and water level stress. We use land building rates for different sized diversions and impacts of large periodic inputs of river water to coastal systems in the Mississippi delta to conclude that high discharge diversions operated episodically will lead to rapid coastal restoration and alleviate concerns about diversions. Single diversion events have deposited sediments up to 40 cm in depth over areas up to 130–180 km 2 . This approach should have broad applicability to deltas globally.

To evaluate whether NTO produces additional reproductive and developmental effects, a modified extended one-generation reproductive toxicity test was conducted. Rats were provided ad libitum access to NTO in drinking water at 0-, 144-, 720-, or 3600-mg/L NTO. Treatment of the parental generation began 2 (females) and 4 (males) wk premating and continued until weaning of litters. Direct dosing of offspring (F1) occurred from weaning through puberty. Pups were counted and weighed on postnatal day (PND) 0/1. Anogenital distance (AGD) was measured on PND 4 and males were examined for presence of nipples on PND 13. F1 offspring were examined daily for attainment of puberty. NTO did not markedly affect measures of fertility, including mating indices, gestation index, litter size, and sex ratio. Seminiferous tubule degeneration or atrophy was observed in P1 and F1 3600-mg/L NTO males. F1 males in the 3600 mg/L group exhibited reduced reproductive organ mass (testes, epididymides, and accessory sex organs). Nipple retention was increased in NTO exposed F1 males compared to controls. Attainment of puberty was delayed by 2.6 d in the 3600-mg/L NTO-exposed males relative to controls. Comparison of the effects of NTO with those of antiandrogens suggests absence of malformations of the genital tract in NTO-exposed males. This study supports previous findings indicating that NTO is a testicular toxicant with male developmental effects that may be secondary to testicular toxicity.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/12/15/ VL - 165 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 26 SN - 00456535 AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) is developing a new category of insensitive munitions (IMs) that are more resistant to detonation or promulgation from external stimuli than traditional munition formulations. The new explosive constituent compounds are 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), nitroguanidine (NQ), and nitrotriazolone (NTO). The production and use of IM formulations may result in interaction of IM component compounds with soil. The chemical properties of these IM compounds present unique challenges for extraction from environmental matrices such as soil. A two-stage extraction procedure was developed and tested using several soil types amended with known concentrations of IM compounds. This procedure incorporates both an acidified phase and an organic phase to account for the chemical properties of the IM compounds. The method detection limits (MDLs) for all IM compounds in all soil types were <5 mg/kg and met non-regulatory risk-based Regional Screening Level (RSL) criteria for soil proposed by the U.S. Army Public Health Center. At defined environmentally relevant concentrations, the average recovery of each IM compound in each soil type was consistent and greater than 85%. The two-stage extraction method decreased the influence of soil composition on IM compound recovery. UV analysis of NTO established an isosbestic point based on varied pH at a detection wavelength of 341 nm. The two-stage soil extraction method is equally effective for traditional munition compounds, a potentially important point when examining soils exposed to both traditional and insensitive munitions.

JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2016/12/03/Dec2016 Part 3 VL - 183 M3 - Case Study SP - 497 EP - 509 SN - 03014797 AB - Coastal ecosystem management typically relies on subjective interpretation of scientific understanding, with limited methods for explicitly incorporating process knowledge into decisions that must meet multiple, potentially competing stakeholder objectives. Conversely, the scientific community lacks methods for identifying which advancements in system understanding would have the highest value to decision-makers. A case in point is barrier island restoration, where decision-makers lack tools to objectively use system understanding to determine how to optimally use limited contingency funds when project construction in this dynamic environment does not proceed as expected. In this study, collaborative structured decision-making (SDM) was evaluated as an approach to incorporate process understanding into mid-construction decisions and to identify priority gaps in knowledge from a management perspective. The focus was a barrier island restoration project at Ship Island, Mississippi, where sand will be used to close an extensive breach that currently divides the island. SDM was used to estimate damage that may occur during construction, and guide repair decisions within the confines of limited availability of sand and funding to minimize adverse impacts to project objectives. Sand was identified as more limiting than funds, and unrepaired major breaching would negatively impact objectives. Repairing minor damage immediately was determined to be generally more cost effective (depending on the longshore extent) than risking more damage to a weakened project. Key gaps in process-understanding relative to project management were identified as the relationship of island width to breach formation; the amounts of sand lost during breaching, lowering, or narrowing of the berm; the potential for minor breaches to self-heal versus developing into a major breach; and the relationship between upstream nourishment and resiliency of the berm to storms. This application is a prototype for using structured decision-making in support of engineering projects in dynamic environments where mid-construction decisions may arise; highlights uncertainty about barrier island physical processes that limit the ability to make robust decisions; and demonstrates the potential for direct incorporation of process-based models in a formal adaptive management decision framework.

JO - Journal of Applied Ichthyology JF - Journal of Applied Ichthyology Y1 - 2016/12/02/Dec2016 Supplement VL - 32 M3 - Article SP - 87 EP - 161 SN - 01758659 AB - The Gulf Sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi, is an anadromous species of Acipenseridae and native to North America. It currently inhabits and spawns in the upper reaches of seven natal rivers along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico from the Suwannee River, Florida, to the Pearl River, Louisiana, during spring to autumn. Next to the Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula), the Gulf Sturgeon is currently the largest fish species occurring in U.S. Gulf Coast rivers, attaining a length of 2.35 m and weights exceeding 135 kg, but historically attained a substantially larger size. Historically, the spawning populations existed in additional rivers from which the species has been wholly or nearly extirpated, such as the Mobile and Ochlockonee rivers, and possibly the Rio Grande River. Most Gulf Sturgeon populations were decimated by unrestricted commercial fishing between 1895-1910. Subsequently most populations remained unrecovered or extirpated due to continued harvest until the 1970s-1980s, and the construction of dams blocking access to ancestral upriver spawning grounds. Late 20th Century harvest bans and net bans enacted by the several Gulf Coast states have stabilized several populations and enabled the Suwannee River population to rebound substantially and naturally. Hatchery supplementation has not been necessary in this regard to date. Sturgeon are resilient and adaptable fishes with a geological history of 150 million years. Research undertaken since the 1970s has addressed many aspects of Gulf Sturgeon life history, reproduction, migration, population biology, habitat requirements, and other aspects of species biology. However, many knowledge gaps remain, prominently including the life history of early developmental stages in the first year of life. Natural population recovery is evident for the Suwannee River population, but seems promising as well for at least four other populations. The Pascagoula and Pearl River populations face a challenging future due a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors. These two populations, and perhaps the Escambia River population, are particularly vulnerable to periodic mass mortality due to major stochastic events including hurricanes, flooding, hypoxia, and toxic spills. The present manuscript provides a comprehensive synthesis of knowledge regarding the Gulf Sturgeon at the organismal and population levels, identifying knowledge gaps as priorities for future research. Topics not treated in the present synthesis include morphology, internal biology, physiology, and endocrinology. Topics only briefly treated include parasites and diseases, contaminants, and sturgeon aquaculture.

JO - Ecological Engineering JF - Ecological Engineering Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 97 M3 - Article SP - 381 EP - 388 SN - 09258574 AB - Many waterways around the globe, including those in southern Louisiana, require periodic dredging to maintain navigability in channels, rivers, and at ports. Traditionally, dredged materials are deposited in confined disposal facilities, relegated to deep open water disposal, or used as fill material to build wetlands. Over the past 15+ years, dredge material from the Atchafalaya River was strategically placed up-river of a small, natural shoal, located mid-channel, resulting in the creation of a wetland exhibiting many structural characteristics of the naturally occurring riverine wetlands within the basin. This construction practice adheres to Engineering With Nature (EWN) concepts which utilize natural processes to produce maximum benefit for navigation, while lowering economic costs and improving habitat features. The current study determined soil physical, nutrient, and biogeochemical properties at the EWN wetland and compares these characteristics to values observed at a traditional dredge shoreline material placement wetland (TDMP), essentially examining the effect of construction technique on soil biogeochemical properties. Soil total carbon and nitrogen at EWN continued to accumulate with time; however, TDMP exhibited a significantly higher degree of soil formation as indicated by lower bulk density, and higher soil organic matter, carbon, and nitrogen. Despite the observed differences, rates of potential nitrate removal and microbial biomass nitrogen did not differ between wetlands, suggesting that the nature based construction technique resulted in nutrient cycling and nitrate removal capacities equivalent to traditionally constructed dredged material wetlands in the region.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 142 IS - 12 M3 - Case Study SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 0733947X AB - This paper documents the in-place recycling of a high-traffic project (12,000 vehicles per day) on U.S. highway 49 (US-49). Sections built included asphalt emulsion–stabilized cold in-place recycling (CIR), portland cement–stabilized CIR, cement-stabilized fulldepth reclamation (FDR), and traditional construction. This paper’s objective is to present a case study of US-49 construction and performance through approximately 4.5 years of service. Performance was characterized by a distress survey, cored properties, and falling weight deflectometer testing. In particular, findings demonstrated performance and economic trade-offs between cement CIR and emulsion CIR, which could be directly applied to planning decisions. Emulsion CIR exhibited sufficient rutting capacity but reserve cracking capacity, at higher costs relative to cement CIR. Cement CIR, however, was more economical and exhibited excess rutting capacity but not excess cracking capacity. Because there is little need for reserve capacity of one distress when other distresses are past capacity, this paper proposes balanced binder blends (examples might include 2.5% emulsion with 2% cement, or 3% emulsion with 1.5% cement) for future consideration because they can provide sufficient capacity for multiple distresses while balancing economics.

However, additional lidar dimensions offer the possibility to transcend basic 3-D mapping capabilities, including i) the physical time (t) dimension from repeat lidar acquisition and ii) laser return intensity (LRI λ ) data dimension based on the brightness of single- or multi-wavelength (λ) laser returns. The additional dimensions thus add to the x,y, and z dimensions to constitute the five dimensions of lidar ( x,y,z, t, LRI λ1… λn ). This broader spectrum of lidar dimensionality has already revealed new insights across multiple EES topics, and will enable a wide range of new research and applications. Here, we review recent advances based on repeat lidar collections and analysis of LRI data to highlight novel applications of lidar remote sensing beyond 3-D. Our review outlines the potential and current challenges of time and LRI information from lidar sensors to expand the scope of research applications and insights across the full range of EES applications.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 36 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 404 EP - 420 SN - 21945403 AB - An elaborate set of criteria have been developed by fish managers and regulators to assure the accuracy, precision, representativeness, and robustness of survival compliance studies coordinated within the Federal Columbia River Power System in the northwestern USA. Dam passage survival, defined as survival from the dam face to the tailrace mixing zone, must be ≥96 % for spring out migrating juvenile salmonids [i.e., yearling Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead ( O. mykiss)] and ≥93 % for summer outmigrants (i.e., subyearling Chinook salmon). Survival must be estimated with a standard error ≤1.5 %. However, these quantitative benchmarks are only part of a multifaceted set of criteria, including representative dam operations, river discharge levels, and fish selection, along with tests of model validity that must be satisfied. These criteria are illustrated using acoustic-tag survival compliance studies conducted at The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River, 2010-2012. The results suggest evaluation criteria for survival compliance tests must balance the needs for rigor and robustness with the ability to reasonably perform the tests in naturally varying riverine systems.

JO - Environmental Modelling & Software JF - Environmental Modelling & Software Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 86 M3 - Article SP - 248 EP - 263 SN - 13648152 AB - This study presents a probabilistic framework to simulate dam breach and evaluates the impact of using four empirical dam breach prediction methods on breach parameters (i.e., geometry and timing) and outflow hydrograph attributes (i.e., time to peak, hydrograph duration and peak). The methods that are assessed here include MacDonald and Langridge-Monopolis (1984), Von Thun and Gillette (1990), Froehlich (1995), 2008). Mean values and percentiles of breach parameters and outflow hydrograph attributes are compared for hypothetical overtopping failure of Burnett Dam in the state of North Carolina, USA. Furthermore, utilizing the probabilistic framework, the least and most uncertain methods alongside those giving the most critical value are identified for these parameters. The multivariate analysis also indicates that lone use of breach parameters is not necessarily sufficient to characterize outflow hydrograph attributes. However, timing characteristic of the breach is generally a more important driver than its geometric features.

T1 - A Hydrological Prediction System Based on the SVS Land-Surface Scheme: Implementation and Evaluation of the GEM-Hydro platform on the watershed of Lake Ontario. JO - Hydrology & Earth System Sciences Discussions JF - Hydrology & Earth System Sciences Discussions Y1 - 2016/11// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 32 SN - 18122108 AB - This work describes the implementation of the distributed GEM-Hydro runoff modeling platform, developed at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) over the last decade. The latest version of GEM-Hydro combines the SVS (Soil, Vegetation and Snow) land-surface scheme and the WATROUTE routing scheme in order to provide streamflow predictions on a gridded river network. SVS is designed to be two-way coupled to the GEM (Global Environmental Multi-scale) atmospheric model exploited by ECCC for operational weather and environmental forecasting. Although SVS has been shown to accurately track soil moisture during the warm season, it has never been evaluated before for hydrological prediction. This paper presents a first evaluation of its ability to simulate streamflow for all major rivers flowing into Lake Ontario. The skill level of GEM-Hydro is assessed by comparing the quality of simulated flows to that of two established hydrological models, MESH and WATFLOOD, which share the same routing scheme (WATROUTE) but rely on different land-surface schemes. All models are calibrated using the same meteorological forcings, objective function, calibration algorithm, and watershed delineation. Results show that GEM-Hydro performs well and is competitive with MESH and WATFLOOD. A computationally efficient strategy is proposed to calibrate the land-surface model of GEM-Hydro: a simple unit hydrograph is used for routing instead of its standard distributed routing component. The distributed routing part of the model can then be run in a second step to estimate streamflow everywhere inside the domain. Global and local calibration strategies are compared in order to estimate runoff for ungauged portions of the Lake Ontario watershed. Overall, streamflow predictions obtained using a global calibration strategy, in which a single parameter set is identified for the whole watershed of Lake Ontario, show skills comparable to the predictions based on local calibration. Hence, global calibration provides spatially consistent parameter values, robust performance at gauged locations, and reduces the complexity and computational burden of the calibration procedure. This work contributes to the Great Lakes Runoff Inter-comparison Project for Lake Ontario (GRIP-O) which aims at improving Lake Ontario basin runoff simulations by comparing different models using the same input forcings.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 162 M3 - Case Study SP - 222 EP - 227 SN - 00456535 AB - Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are being incorporated into a variety of consumer products due to unique properties that offer a variety of advantages over bulk materials. Understanding of the nano-specific risk associated with nano-enabled technologies, however, continues to lag behind research and development, registration with regulators, and commercialization. One example of a nano-enabled technology is nanosilver ink, which can be used in commercial ink-jet printers for the development of low-cost printable electronics. This investigation utilizes a tiered EHS framework to evaluate the potential nano-specific release, exposure and hazard associated with typical use of both nanosilver ink and printed circuits. The framework guides determination of the potential for ENM release from both forms of the technology in simulated use scenarios, including spilling of the ink, aqueous release (washing) from the circuits and UV light exposure. The as-supplied ink merits nano-specific consideration based on the presence of nanoparticles and their persistence in environmentally-relevant media. The material released from the printed circuits upon aqueous exposure was characterized by a number of analysis techniques, including ultracentrifugation and single particle ICP-MS, and the results suggest that a vast majority of the material was ionic in nature and nano-specific regulatory scrutiny may be less relevant.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 2016/10/21/ VL - 354 IS - 6310 M3 - Article SP - 350 EP - 354 SN - 00368075 AB - There is an urgent need for monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies that broadly protect against Ebola virus and other filoviruses. The conserved, essential interaction between the filovirus glycoprotein, GP, and its entry receptor Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) provides an attractive target for such mAbs but is shielded by multiple mechanisms, including physical sequestration in late endosomes. Here, we describe a bispecific-antibody strategy to target this interaction, in which mAbs specific for NPC1 or the GP receptor–binding site are coupled to a mAb against a conserved, surface-exposed GP epitope. Bispecific antibodies, but not parent mAbs, neutralized all known ebolaviruses by coopting viral particles themselves for endosomal delivery and conferred postexposure protection against multiple ebolaviruses in mice. Such “Trojan horse” bispecific antibodies have potential as broad antifilovirus immunotherapeutics.

JO - Chemical Research in Toxicology JF - Chemical Research in Toxicology Y1 - 2016/10/17/ VL - 29 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1729 EP - 1740 SN - 0893228X AB - The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of metabolizing enzymes and transporters. To avoid adverse drug-drug interactions and diseases such as steatosis and cancers associated with PXR activation, identifying drugs and chemicals that activate PXR is of crucial importance. In this work, we developed ligand-based predictive computational models for both rat and human PXR activation, which allowed us to identify potentially harmful chemicals and evaluate species-specific effects of a given compound. We utilized a large publicly available data set of nearly 2000 compounds screened in cell-based reporter gene assays to develop Bayesian quantitative structure-activity relationship models using physicochemical properties and structural descriptors. Our analysis showed that PXR activators tend to be hydrophobic and significantly different from nonactivators in terms of their physicochemical properties such as molecular weight, logP, number of rings, and solubility. Our Bayesian models, evaluated by using 5-fold cross-validation, displayed a sensitivity of 75% (76%), specificity of 76% (75%), and accuracy of 89% (89%) for human (rat) PXR activation. We identified structural features shared by rat and human PXR activators as well as those unique to each species. We compared rat in vitro PXR activation data to in vivo data by using DrugMatrix, a large toxicogenomics database with gene expression data obtained from rats after exposure to diverse chemicals. Although in vivo gene expression data pointed to cross-talk between nuclear receptor activators that is captured only by in vivo assays, overall we found broad agreement between in vitro and in vivo PXR activation. Thus, the models developed here serve primarily as efficient initial high-throughput in silico screens of in vitro activity.

JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2016/10/02/Oct2016 Part B VL - 541 M3 - Article SP - 1003 EP - 1019 SN - 00221694 AB - We examine the effects of regional climate model (RCM) horizontal resolution and forcing scaling (i.e., spatial aggregation of meteorological datasets) on the portrayal of climate change impacts. Specifically, we assess how the above decisions affect: (i) historical simulation of signature measures of hydrologic behavior, and (ii) projected changes in terms of annual water balance and hydrologic signature measures. To this end, we conduct our study in three catchments located in the headwaters of the Colorado River basin. Meteorological forcings for current and a future climate projection are obtained at three spatial resolutions (4-, 12- and 36-km) from dynamical downscaling with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional climate model, and hydrologic changes are computed using four different hydrologic model structures. These projected changes are compared to those obtained from running hydrologic simulations with current and future 4-km WRF climate outputs re-scaled to 12- and 36-km. The results show that the horizontal resolution of WRF simulations heavily affects basin-averaged precipitation amounts, propagating into large differences in simulated signature measures across model structures. The implications of re-scaled forcing datasets on historical performance were primarily observed on simulated runoff seasonality. We also found that the effects of WRF grid resolution on projected changes in mean annual runoff and evapotranspiration may be larger than the effects of hydrologic model choice, which surpasses the effects from re-scaled forcings. Scaling effects on projected variations in hydrologic signature measures were found to be generally smaller than those coming from WRF resolution; however, forcing aggregation in many cases reversed the direction of projected changes in hydrologic behavior.

JO - Environmental Forensics JF - Environmental Forensics Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 17 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 294 EP - 310 SN - 15275922 AB - This article summarizes the results from a survey of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and metal concentrations measured in surface and subsurface soil samples that were collected from background locations throughout Manhattan, New York, between August 2005 and May 2006. The 95th percentile total 16 US EPA Priority Pollutant PAH concentrations in surface and subsurface soils were 24.8 and 53.1 mg/kg, respectively. Diagnostic PAH source ratios for surface and subsurface soils are presented, which provide plausible bounds for where these ratios would and would not be able to confidently differentiate background soils from soil samples that are impacted by PAH contamination. The 95th percentile concentrations for lead in surface and subsurface soils were 891 and 2,540 mg/kg, respectively, and the 95th percentile concentrations for mercury in surface and subsurface soils were 1.9 and 2.7 mg/kg, respectively. A not-unexpected finding of the study was that most surface soils and all subsurface soils contained a relatively high fraction of anthropogenic carbon, in addition to the presence of historic fill materials such as glass, brick, coal, and slag from more than 400 years of human activity on Manhattan Island. The concentration ranges for PAHs and metals measured in these background soil samples, coupled with the visual observations of historic fill materials in nearly all soil samples, emphasize that soils in Manhattan are altogether different from rural soils and thus warrant a different framework for site management decisions than rural soils.

Major results for this work include the following: (i)>5 logs of spores deposited on glass surfaces were inactivated by CAP treatment for 3 min, while deposited spores placed inside an impermeable plastic bag were inactivated only 2 logs in 30 min; (ii) >80% of the spores treated for 1 to 3 min with CAP were nonculturable and retained CaDPA in their core, while>95% of spores treated with CAP for 5 to 10 min lost all CaDPA; (iii) Raman measurements of individual CAP-treated spores without CaDPA showed differences from spores that germinated with L-valine in terms of nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins; and (iv) 1 to 2 min of CAP treatment killed 99% of spores, but these spores still germinated with nutrients or exogenous CaDPA, albeit more slowly and to a lesser extent than untreated spores, while spores CAP treated for>3 min that retained CaDPA did not germinate via nutrients or CaDPA. However, even after 1 to 3 min of CAP treatment, spores germinated normally with dodecylamine. These results suggest that exposure to the present CAP configuration severely damages a spore's inner membrane and key germination proteins, such that the treated spores either lose CaDPA or can neither initiate nor complete germination with nutrients or CaDPA. Analysis of the various CAP components indicated that UV photons contributed minimally to spore inactivation, while charged particles and reactive oxygen species contributed significantly.

Unfortunately, information for age-0 pallid sturgeon diets remains limited, but diet analyses for age-0 Scaphirhynchus spp. (sturgeon hereafter) have occurred. Little information, however, exists on age-0 sturgeon diets in the LMOR; thus, our primary objective was to document age-0 sturgeon diets in this system. We examined guts contents from 30 individuals, which were genetically identified as shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus, and three stomachs were empty. The remaining age-0 shovelnose sturgeon consumed chironomid larvae almost exclusively (>98% of prey items consumed). Our results were similar to studies conducted in other systems, and it appears unlikely that a lack of nutritious food was a major factor affecting the individuals captured during this study. This effort provides important information to help guide ongoing adaptive management efforts in the LMOR. © 2016 The Authors. River Research and Applications published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Even though this problem is widespread, there have been limited attempts to implement risk-based approaches for testing and supply chain management. Supply chain risk management tends to focus on the highly visible disruptions of the supply chain instead of the covert entrance of counterfeits; thus counterfeit risk is difficult to mitigate. This article provides an overview of the complexities of the electronics supply chain, and highlights some gaps in risk assessment practices. In particular, this article calls for enhanced traceability capabilities to track and trace parts at risk through various stages of the supply chain. Placing the focus on risk-informed decision making through the following strategies is needed, including prioritization of high-risk parts, moving beyond certificates of conformance, incentivizing best supply chain management practices, adoption of industry standards, and design and management for supply chain resilience.

We integrate multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) results (LCA-MCDA) as a method of incorporating values of a hypothetical federal acquisition manager into the assessment of risks and benefits of emerging photovoltaic materials. Specifically, we compare adoption of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) devices with molybdenum back contacts to alternative devices employing graphite or graphene instead of molybdenum. LCA impact results are interpreted alongside benefits of substitution including cost reductions and performance improvements through application of multi-attribute utility theory. To assess the role of uncertainty we apply Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis. We find that graphene or graphite back contacts outperform molybdenum under most scenarios and assumptions. The use of decision analysis clarifies potential advantages of adopting graphite as a back contact while emphasizing the importance of mitigating conventional impacts of graphene production processes if graphene is used in emerging CZTS devices. Our research further demonstrates that a combination of LCA and MCDA increases the usability of LCA in assessing product sustainability. In particular, this approach identifies the most influential assumptions and data gaps in the analysis and the areas in which either engineering controls or further data collection may be necessary.

A detailed analysis of the O2, O, H2O, OOH, and OH adsorbate interactions on the Fe-N4-G cluster with solvation and/or dispersion corrections are considered. The total and partial density of states for the α- and β-spin orbitals are compared for the adsorbate of interest, Fe atom and surrounding graphitic cluster. Relative free-energy diagrams are constructed, which allow us to compare DFT predictions to experimental results for O2 reduction on systems containing embedded Fe-N4 clusters. For all reaction steps, different DFT functionals are explored and the respective geometries, energetics, and spin-states for each adsorbate interaction are reported for six commonly used functionals including B3LYP, M06-2X, M06-L, PBE, TPSSh, and ωB97X-D. Functionals with high fractions of exact exchange were found to favor higher spin-states, as well as stronger binding of the adsorbates, making these methodologies less feasible for Fe-N4-containing electrocatalysts when compared to experimental data. Pure functionals with and without empirical correlation exhibit different ground spin-states and geometries, however the free energy diagrams yield similar conclusions at relevant overpotentials. The activation energy for the O-OH bond scission step, as well as OH desorption from the Fe-N4-G cluster are discussed since the barrier could prohibit a pure 4e- ORR. Finally, we discuss the energetically unfavorable steps for select overpotentials, which provides the experimentalist with a tuning knob for electrocatalytic design.

Two major mechanisms dissolve the particle during the process: (i) thermally activated diffusion, and (ii) dislocation and grain boundary sweeping of atoms. We use a three-dimensional coupled viscoplastic flow and heat transfer model to quantify these mechanisms. For illustration purposes, calculations were done on a thermally stable Mg 2 Y intermetallic that dissolved during processing. The framework is universal and applies to any second phase dissolution and fragmentation during friction stir welding and processing, thus enabling a science-based approach to tailor microstructures.

As an example, California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) have learned to exploit concentrations of migratory adult salmonids below the fish ladders at Bonneville Dam, impeding endangered salmonid recovery. Proliferation of this foraging behaviour in the sea lion population has resulted in a controversial culling programme of individual sea lions at the dam, but the impact of such culling remains unclear. To evaluate the effectiveness of current and alternative culling strategies, we used network-based diffusion analysis on a long-term dataset to demonstrate that social transmission is implicated in the increase in dam-foraging behaviour and then studied different culling strategies within an epidemiological model of the behavioural transmission data. We show that current levels of lethal control have substantially reduced the rate of social transmission, but failed to effectively reduce overall sea lion recruitment. Earlier implementation of culling could have substantially reduced the extent of behavioural transmission and, ultimately, resulted in fewer animals being culled. Epidemiological analyses offer a promising tool to understand and control socially transmissible behaviours.

Near 68 Ni ( Z = 28 , N = 40 ), the identification of shape coexistence hinges on hitherto undetermined transition rates to and from low-energy 0 + states. In 68,70 Ni, new lifetimes and branching ratios have been measured. These data enable quantitative descriptions of the 0 + states through the deduced transition rates and serve as sensitive probes for characterizing their nuclear wave functions. The results are compared to, and consistent with, large-scale shell-model calculations which predict shape coexistence. With the firm identification of this phenomenon near 68 Ni, shape coexistence is now observed in all currently accessible regions of the nuclear chart with closed proton shells and mid-shell neutrons.

We vary the film thickness and laser process parameters (fluence, number of shots) to quantify the range of concentrations that can be achieved. Our approach achieves gold concentrations comparable to those achieved with ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting, in a layer with high crystalline quality. This approach offers an attractive alternative to ion implantation for forming high quality, high concentration layers of transition metals like gold in silicon.

The spall strength and incipient spall damage in the specimens were measured at different shock stresses using 51 mm and 105 mm bore gas guns. The Hugoniot Elastic Limit (HEL) was measured to be approximately 181 ± 3 MPa. The spall strengths extracted from the free surface velocity profiles of the shocked specimens were found to decrease by 5% for shock stresses ranging from 1.7 GPa to 4.6 GPa. However, this reduction in spall strength may fall within the experimental error. Post-test fractographic examinations of recovered specimens revealed that spall failure originated at micrometer-size intermetallic inclusions and propagated through the material by cavitation events with a very limited growth of voids. It was concluded that the strengthening of AZ31B-4E magnesium alloy by the ECAE-process resulted in adverse effects on its microstructure and spall behavior because of the process-induced cracking of intermetallic inclusions and their weak interface strengths.

Longitudinal trends in use of DSs by civilians have been examined, but are unavailable in subpopulations such as military service members. The present study examined longitudinal changes in DS use by soldiers. A standardized questionnaire on DS use was administered in 2006-2007 ( N = 989) and 2010-2011 ( N = 1196) to convenience samples of active duty soldiers. Data were weighted for total population demographics of age, sex, and rank. Regular use of DSs by soldiers increased significantly (56% ± 1.6% vs. 64% ± 1.7%; p ≤ 0.001) over the 4 years primarily because of an increase of DS use among the youngest 18- to 24-year-old soldiers (43.0% ± 2.5% vs 62.3% ± 2.4%; p ≤ 0.01). Protein (22% ± 1.4% vs. 26% ± 1.5%; p ≤ 0.001) and combination (10.0% ± 1.0% vs. 24% ± 1.4%; p ≤ 0.001) product consumption also increased over the 4 years. Individual vitamin and mineral use - including iron, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, B6, B12, and D - significantly increased as well ( p ≤ 0.05). In addition, expenditures on DSs by soldiers increased over time ( p < 0.01). Reasons reported by soldiers for DS use suggest use increased to meet the occupational demands of military service. Educational interventions to minimize inappropriate use of DSs by soldiers are necessary to reduce adverse events resulting from unnecessary use of DSs and the financial burden associated with their use.

L'utilisation régulière de DS par les soldats augmente significativement (56 ± 1,6 % vs 64 ± 1,7 %; p ≤ 0,001) en 4 ans surtout à cause de l'augmentation de l'utilisation des DS chez les soldats du groupe des 18-24 ans (43,0 ± 2,5 % vs 62,3 ± 2,4 %; p ≤ 0,01). La consommation de protéines et de produits combinés augmente aussi en 4 ans : 22 ± 1,4 % vs 26 ± 1,5 %; p ≤ 0,001 et 10,0 ± 1,0 % vs 24 ± 1,4 %; p ≤ 0,001, respectivement. Durant cette période, on observe aussi une augmentation significative ( p ≤ 0,05) de l'utilisation de vitamines et de minéraux : fer, magnésium, sélénium et vitamines A, B6, B12 et D. En outre, les dépenses reliées aux DS augmentent aussi ( p < 0,01). Les soldats rapportent prendre des DS pour répondre aux exigences professionnelles du service militaire. Il faut développer des interventions éducatives afin de réduire l'utilisation injustifiée des DS chez les soldats, et ce, pour diminuer les effets secondaires causés par l'utilisation inutile des DS et minimiser le fardeau financier associé à leur utilisation.

JO - Cement & Concrete Research JF - Cement & Concrete Research Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 90 M3 - Article SP - 43 EP - 51 SN - 00088846 AB - This research focused on developing thermally-stable materials based on alkali-activation of slag, fly ash, and metakaolin compared to portland cement mixtures by using a hierarchical approach to material design. At lower length scales, X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterized the mineralogy that coupled to higher length scale experiments using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for determining the materials thermal stability. Additionally, high-energy X-ray computed microtomography (μCT) determined the best-performing material formulation that minimized thermal damage when exposed to high temperatures (650 °C). The thermal loading was ramped up to 650 °C from ambient temperature in 60 s and then held for a total of 10 min. The μCT identified that the alkali-activated fly ash mortar had less initial porosity than the ordinary portland cement mixtures, with more than 66% of the pores between 20 and 50 μm in diameter. Consequently, the alkali-activated fly ash mortar was able to dissipate approximately 565 °C in just 50 mm of material, outperforming all the other mixes studied in this paper with μCT confirming minimal damage after the temperature exposure.

T1 - Blast waves from detonated military explosive reduce GluR1 and synaptophysin levels in hippocampal slice cultures. JO - Experimental Neurology JF - Experimental Neurology Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 286 M3 - Article SP - 107 EP - 115 SN - 00144886 AB - Explosives create shockwaves that cause blast-induced neurotrauma, one of the most common types of traumatic brain injury (TBI) linked to military service. Blast-induced TBIs are often associated with reduced cognitive and behavioral functions due to a variety of factors. To study the direct effects of military explosive blasts on brain tissue, we removed systemic factors by utilizing rat hippocampal slice cultures. The long-term slice cultures were briefly sealed air-tight in serum-free medium, lowered into a 37 °C water-filled tank, and small 1.7-gram assemblies of cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) were detonated 15 cm outside the tank, creating a distinct shockwave recorded at the culture plate position. Compared to control mock-treated groups of slices that received equal submerge time, 1–3 blast impacts caused a dose-dependent reduction in the AMPA receptor subunit GluR1. While only a small reduction was found in hippocampal slices exposed to a single RDX blast and harvested 1–2 days later, slices that received two consecutive RDX blasts 4 min apart exhibited a 26–40% reduction in GluR1, and the receptor subunit was further reduced by 64–72% after three consecutive blasts. Such loss correlated with increased levels of HDAC2, a histone deacetylase implicated in stress-induced reduction of glutamatergic transmission. No evidence of synaptic marker recovery was found at 72 h post-blast. The presynaptic marker synaptophysin was found to have similar susceptibility as GluR1 to the multiple explosive detonations. In contrast to the synaptic protein reductions, actin levels were unchanged, spectrin breakdown was not detected, and Fluoro-Jade B staining found no indication of degenerating neurons in slices exposed to three RDX blasts, suggesting that small, sub-lethal explosives are capable of producing selective alterations to synaptic integrity. Together, these results indicate that blast waves from military explosive cause signs of synaptic compromise without producing severe neurodegeneration, perhaps explaining the cognitive and behavioral changes in those blast-induced TBI sufferers that have no detectable neuropathology.

T1 - Large-scale functional network overlap is a general property of brain functional organization: Reconciling inconsistent fMRI findings from general-linear-model-based analyses. JO - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews JF - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 71 M3 - Article SP - 83 EP - 100 SN - 01497634 AB - Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies regularly use univariate general-linear-model-based analyses (GLM). Their findings are often inconsistent across different studies, perhaps because of several fundamental brain properties including functional heterogeneity, balanced excitation and inhibition (E/I), and sparseness of neuronal activities. These properties stipulate heterogeneous neuronal activities in the same voxels and likely limit the sensitivity and specificity of GLM. This paper selectively reviews findings of histological and electrophysiological studies and fMRI spatial independent component analysis (sICA) and reports new findings by applying sICA to two existing datasets. The extant and new findings consistently demonstrate several novel features of brain functional organization not revealed by GLM. They include overlap of large-scale functional networks (FNs) and their concurrent opposite modulations, and no significant modulations in activity of most FNs across the whole brain during any task conditions. These novel features of brain functional organization are highly consistent with the brain’s properties of functional heterogeneity, balanced E/I, and sparseness of neuronal activity, and may help reconcile inconsistent GLM findings.

To get a deeper understanding of the nature and the time-course of temporal presupposition processing, we examined event-related potential evoked by the wordagainin two types of sentence contexts. The wordagainwas presented in contexts that supported a presupposition (e.g.Jake had tipped a maid at the hotel once before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ) or violated it (e.g.Jake had never tipped a maid at the hotel before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ). The presupposition violation was associated with increased amplitudes of the P3b/P600 but not the N400 component. We argue for the centrality of the P3b/P600 component for presupposition processing. These findings demonstrate rapid integration of lexical presuppositions with contextual knowledge.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: C JF - Materials Science & Engineering: C Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 69 M3 - Article SP - 453 EP - 461 SN - 09284931 AB - A highly sensitive and selective voltammetric method for determination of Methylergometrine maleate (MM) in pharmaceutical formulations, urine and blood serum samples has been developed based on enhanced electrochemical response of MM at carbon nanofibers and silver nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (CNF-AgNP-CPE). The electrode material was characterized by various techniques viz., X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic response of MM at CNF-AgNP-CPE was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Under optimized conditions, the proposed sensor exhibits excellent electrochemical response towards MM. The DPV study shows greatly enhanced electrochemical signal for MM at CNF-AgNP-CPE lending high sensitivity to the proposed sensor for MM detection. The peak (I p ) current for MM is found to be rectilinear in the range 4.0 × 10 − 8 –2.0 × 10 − 5 M with a detection limit of 7.1 × 10 − 9 M using DPV. The feasibility of the proposed sensor in analytical applications was investigated by conducting experiments on commercial pharmaceutical formulations, human urine and blood serum samples, which yielded satisfactory recoveries of MM. The proposed electrochemical sensor offers high sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility and practical utility. We recommend it as an authentic and productive electrochemical sensor for successful determination of MM.

In adults, heavy media multitasking has been linked with poorer performance on a number of laboratory measures of cognition, but no relationship has yet been established between media-multitasking behavior and real-world outcomes. Examining individual differences across a group of adolescents, we found that more frequent media multitasking in daily life was associated with poorer performance on statewide standardized achievement tests of math and English in the classroom, poorer performance on behavioral measures of executive function (working memory capacity) in the laboratory, and traits of greater impulsivity and lesser growth mindset. Greater media multitasking had a relatively circumscribed set of associations, and was not related to behavioral measures of cognitive processing speed, implicit learning, or manual dexterity, or to traits of grit and conscientiousness. Thus, individual differences in adolescent media multitasking were related to specific differences in executive function and in performance on real-world academic achievement measures: More media multitasking was associated with poorer executive function ability, worse academic achievement, and a reduced growth mindset.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 54 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 7112 EP - 7121 SN - 01962892 AB - Waveform decomposition is a common step for exploitation of full-waveform lidar data. Much effort has been focused on designing algorithms based on the assumption that the returned waveforms follow a Gaussian mixture model where each component is a Gaussian. However, many real examples show that the waveform components can be neither Gaussian nor symmetric even when the emitted signal is Gaussian or symmetric. This paper proposes a nonparametric mixture model to represent lidar waveforms without any constraints on the shape of the waveform components. A fuzzy mean-shift algorithm is then developed to decompose the waveforms. This approach has the following properties: 1) It does not assume that the waveforms follow any parametric or functional distributions; 2) the waveform decomposition is treated as a fuzzy data clustering problem and the number of components is determined during the time of decomposition; and 3) neither peak selection nor noise floor filtering prior to the decomposition is needed. Experiments are conducted on a dataset collected over a dense forest area where significant skewed waveforms are demonstrated. As the result of the waveform decomposition, a highly dense point cloud is generated, followed by a subsequent filtering step to create a fine digital elevation model. Compared with the conventional expectation–maximization method, the fuzzy mean-shift approach yielded practically comparable and similar results. However, it is about three times faster and tends to lead to slightly fewer artifacts in the resultant digital elevation model.

Lanthanide series rare-earth dopants (Pr, Nd, Gd, Er, and Yb) were considered at a doping concentration of 0.83 at.%. Incorporation of rare-earth dopants was found to increase the lattice parameters and exaggerate the local structural distortion around the dopant. The extent of local lattice distortion was correlated with the dopant ionic radii. The phase stability of rare-earth-doped Al2O3 was assessed by comparing cohesive and defect formation energies for doped and undoped α- and θ-Al2O3. Rare-earth dopants increased the relative stability of the metastable θ-Al2O3, although doped α-Al2O3 remained more stable. The total magnetic moment of the doped Al2O3 was shown to correlate with the number of unpaired electrons. The magnetic moment was also found to be strongly localized on the rare-earth dopant for Er, Gd, Nd, and Pr-doped Al2O3. In contrast, the Yb dopant induced a delocalized magnetic moment on ~80% of the oxygen atoms. These results further the understanding of dopant incorporation mechanisms, as well as the doping effect on phase stability and magnetic properties that may be applied to advanced field-assisted material synthesis and processing for enhanced properties.

Like other cholinesterases, aBuChE was inhibited by all G- and V-type nerve agents. Interestingly, aBuChE was able to undergo spontaneous reactivation after inhibition with VR (t 1/2 = 5.5 ± 0.2 h). Mass spectrometry of aBuChE after VR inhibition confirmed the presence of a covalently bound adduct of the size expected for non-aged VR on the peptide containing the active site serine. To understand the effect of substrate volume on rates of reactivation, the capacity of aBuChE to bind and spontaneously reactivate after inhibition with five V-agent analogues was examined. No appreciable reactivation was detected for enzyme inhibited by V2 (VX with O -isopropyl on retained group), V4 (VX with N -diethyl leaving group termination), or V5 (VX with N -dimethyl leaving group termination). Minimal reactivation was detected with V1 (VX with O -propyl on retained group). Conversely, spontaneous reactivation was observed when aBuChE was inhibited by V3 (VX with O -isobutyl on retained group; t 1/2 = 6.3 ± 0.4 h). The data suggest that the ability of aBuChE to spontaneously reactivate after inhibition by V-agent analogues is related to the structure of the retained group. These results provide structural information that may shed light on the design of improved small molecule reactivators of nerve agent-inhibited acetylcholinesterase or butyrylcholinesterase, and further suggest that re-engineering the active site of a cholinesterase could result in enzymes with clinically relevant rates of nerve agent hydrolysis.

For small-molecule biofuels like ethanol, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes show promise as passive purifiers, in that they allow uncharged small molecules to pass through while blocking most other components of the growth medium. Here, we examine the use of RO membranes in developing biohybrid fuel cells, closely examining the case where a direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) is coupled with an ongoing yeast fermentation across an RO membrane. We show that, contrary to initial good performance, the acetic acid produced by the DEFC readily diffuses back across the RO membrane and kills the fermentation after a few days. We introduce an amelioration chamber where the acetic acid is converted to acetate ions. The RO membrane rejects the acetate ions due to their charge, preventing acetic acid buildup in the fermentation. We also show that some small, charged components of the fermentation such as amino acids are imperfectly rejected by RO membranes. Because of the high sensitivity of DEFCs to low concentrations (10s of μM) of amino acids, even a very slow diffusion of amino acids across the RO membranes can limit biohybrid fuel cell lifetimes.

JO - Materials & Design JF - Materials & Design Y1 - 2016/11/15/ VL - 110 M3 - Article SP - 663 EP - 675 SN - 02613069 AB - The development of advanced structural materials is dependent, among many factors, on the choice of manufacturing processes. Laser processing and friction stir processing (FSP) are two such advanced manufacturing processes. Individually, they have been studied quite extensively to understand their potential for developing high efficiency structures. However, there is no study describing the sequential integration of laser processing and FSP on microstructure and mechanical properties. The present study deals with FSP of the laser processed Mg 4Y 3Nd (WE43) alloy. The laser surface melting was carried out in air at 1800 W laser power, 30 mm/s laser speed, and 0.6 mm spot size on the surface using continuous wave Nd:YAG fiber laser followed by FSP of laser processed region at 500 rpm and 4 ipm. Scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy were carried out to understand microstructural evolution within the laser melted and friction stir processed regions. Mechanical properties were evaluated using uniaxial tensile testing at a strain-rate of 10 − 3 s − 1 . FSP led to significant improvement in strength and ductility of the laser processed material. An analysis of the strengthening mechanisms revealed that the dominant strengthening mechanism(s) in the WE43 alloy was dependent on the processing step.

JO - Journal of the Neurological Sciences JF - Journal of the Neurological Sciences Y1 - 2016/11/15/ VL - 370 M3 - Article SP - 305 EP - 309 SN - 0022510X AB - Objectives The Department of Defense reported that 344,030 cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) were clinically confirmed from 2000 to 2015, with mild TBI (mTBI) accounting for 82.3% of all cases. Unfortunately, warfighters with TBI are often identified only when moderate or severe head injuries have occurred, leaving more subtle mTBI cases undiagnosed. This study aims to identify and validate an eye-movement visual test for screening acute mTBI. Methods Two-hundred active duty military personnel were recruited to perform the King-Devick® (KD) test. Subjects were equally divided into two groups: those with diagnosed acute mTBI (≤ 72 h) and age-matched controls. The KD test was administered twice for test-retest reliability, and the outcome measure was total cumulative time to complete each test. Results The mTBI group had approximately 36% mean slower performance time with significant differences between the groups ( p < 0.001) in both tests. There were significant differences between the two KD test administrations in each group, however, a strong correlation was observed between each test administration. Conclusions Significant differences in KD test performance were seen between the acute mTBI and control groups. The results suggest the KD test can be utilized for screening acute mTBI. A validated and rapidly administered mTBI screening test with results that are easily interpreted by providers is essential in making return-to-duty decisions in the injured warfighter.

This paper investigates perception of multi-electrode binaural stimulation to determine if auditory object formation (AOF) and lateralization are affected by variability in ITD sensitivity when a complex sound is encoded with multi-channel processing. AOF and ITD lateralization were compared between single- and multi-electrode configurations. Most (7/8) BiCI users perceived a single auditory object with multi-electrode stimulation, and the range of lateralization was comparable to single-electrode stimulation, suggesting that variability in single-electrode ITD sensitivity does not compromise AOF with multi-electrode stimulation.

Shear wave measurements were performed with bimorph transducers to generate and receive horizontally polarized shear waves in the 300 Hz to 1 kHz band, and compressional wave measurements were performed using hydrophones operated in the 5 kHz to 100 kHz band. Sediment samples were collected at both measurement sites and later analyzed in the laboratory to characterize the sediment grain size distribution for each field location. Compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation were estimated from the acoustic measurements, and preliminary comparisons to the extended Biot model by Chotiros and Isakson [J. Acoust. Soc. 135, 3264-3279 (2014)] and the viscous grain-shearing theory by Buckingham [J. Acoust. Soc. 136, 2478-2488 (2014)] were performed.

Whether these support materials are removed chemically as in the case of many polymer additive manufacturing processes, or mechanically as in the case of (for example) Direct Metal Laser Sintering, the use of sacrificial material increases total material usage, build time, and time required in post-fabrication treatments. The goal of this work is to embed a minimum allowable self-supporting angle within the topology optimization framework such that designed components and structures may be manufactured without the use of support material. This is achieved through a series of projection operations that combine a local projection to enforce minimum length scale requirements and a support region projection to ensure a feature is adequately supported from below. The magnitude of the self-supporting angle is process dependent and is thus an input variable provided by the manufacturing or design engineer. The algorithm is demonstrated on standard minimum compliance topology optimization problems and solutions are shown to satisfy minimum length scale, overhang angle, and volume constraints, and are shown to be dependent on the allowable magnitudes of these constraints.

JO - Information Fusion JF - Information Fusion Y1 - 2016/11//Nov2016 Part A VL - 32 M3 - Article SP - 62 EP - 74 SN - 15662535 AB - A finite point process approach to multi-target localization from a transient signal is presented. After modeling the measurements as a Poisson point process, we propose a twofold scheme that includes an expectation maximization algorithm to estimate the target locations for a given number of targets and an information theoretic algorithm to select the number of targets. The proposed localization scheme does not require explicitly solving the data association problem and can account for clutter noise as well as missed detections. Although point process theory has been widely utilized for sequential tracking of multiple moving targets, the application of point process theory for multi-target localization from transient measurements has received very little attention. The optimal subpattern assignment metric is used to assess the performance and accuracy of the proposed localization algorithm. Implementation of the proposed algorithm on synthetic data yields desirable results. The proposed algorithm is then applied to the multi-shooter localization problem using acoustic gunfire detection systems.

T1 - The effects of fatigue on lower extremity kinematics, kinetics and joint coupling in symptomatic female runners with iliotibial band syndrome. JO - Clinical Biomechanics JF - Clinical Biomechanics Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 39 M3 - Article SP - 84 EP - 90 SN - 02680033 AB - Background Altered hip and knee kinematics and joint coupling have been documented in runners with iliotibial band syndrome. Symptoms often present themselves after several minutes of running, yet the effect of fatigue warrants further exploration. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a run to fatigue in runners with iliotibial band syndrome, as compared to healthy controls. Methods Twenty uninjured and 12 female runners with iliotibial band syndrome performed a treadmill run to fatigue. Prior-to and following a run to fatigue, overground running data were collected. Variables of interest included stance phase: peak hip adduction and internal rotation, peak hip abductor and external rotator joint moments and frontal-sagittal plane hip and knee joint coupling. Findings Fatigue resulted in decreased peak hip adduction angles in injured runners. Fatigue did not affect injured runners differently than controls with respect to the remaining variables. Coupling differences did not exist between healthy and injured runners with respect to the loading or propulsive phases of stance. Interpretation While clinicians often strengthen hip abductor muscles and provide gait re-training to decrease stance phase hip adduction, our results suggest that, when exerted, female runners with iliotibial band syndrome independently modify their running gait to decrease hip adduction, potentially as a result of pain. Fatigue did not have an effect on the remaining study variables. It is possible that reducing the length of the iliotibial band through minimizing hip adduction reduces pain, but the other variables examined are not sensitive to this phenomenon.

As such, it is critical to determine if performance on the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is adversely affected by operationally-relevant field environments. Differences in DANA performance between a thermoneutral environment and three simulated operationally-relevant field environments across the thermal stress continuum were calculated for 16 healthy U.S. Navy service members. Practice effects associated with brief test-retest intervals were calculated within each environmental condition. There were no significant differences between the simulated environmental conditions suggesting that performance on the DANA Brief is not impacted by thermal stress. Additionally, there were no significant differences in performance within each simulated environmental condition associated with repeated administrations.

Our objective was to analyze the rankings of tasks by SWAT officers based on frequency, difficulty, and importance and assess if training is addressing traits needed for successful task completion. A survey was designed using Qualtrics (Qualtrics Labs Inc). The survey had a demographics section, performance section, and training section. Officers were contacted by phone or e-mail and asked about interest in participating. Officers who agreed were sent the survey. Our results found a strong correlation between frequency of task and importance (r = 0.69, p = 0.001), and a moderate correlation was found between task difficulty and importance (r = 0.37, p = 0.005). Task rankings were averaged across the 3 domains to assess "overall" importance, and the top 3 tasks were assessed for necessary traits for successful performance. Power and strength were determined to be the most important traits for successful performance. Officers ranked the top 2 focuses of their training program in the training section as stamina/muscular endurance and cardiovascular/respiratory endurance. Training programs for SWAT officers should be developed to improve performance of the tasks with the highest "overall" importance. Therefore, a training program should emphasize strength and power improvements while not neglecting other measures of fitness.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 183 M3 - Article SP - 435 EP - 446 SN - 01657836 AB - The lower Columbia River and estuary (LRE) is a critically important environment for outmigrating salmonids, yet uncertainties remain about the survival and behavior of barged and in-river migrating fish. Although studies have used telemetry to monitor Chinook salmon movement and survival through the LRE, comparisons between outmigration years are confounded by differences in tag technologies, array locations, and experimental designs. In the present study, multiple releases of barged and in-river Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon were implanted with acoustic tags and monitored at multiple locations between Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River (695 km from the mouth of the Columbia River) to within 3 km of the Pacific Ocean. LRE survival estimates and transit rates of barged fish significantly varied throughout the outmigration season. The transit rates of in-river fish also varied, but without a corresponding seasonal difference in LRE survival estimates. Early release groups of barged salmon were slower and had lower survival in the LRE than in-river salmon. Estuary arrival timing and the magnitude of transit rates may contribute to significant differences in LRE mortality between in-river and barged juvenile salmon. Survival in the Lower River reaches was stable and exceeded 0.90 for both barged and in-river fish, while survival decreased markedly in the Estuary. Differential distributions of arrival to the LRE, transit rates, and survival suggest that the outmigration experience is not homogenous for barged and in-river yearling Snake River Chinook salmon, and that previous outmigration experience of threatened and endangered salmon should be considered in future management decisions and recovery plans.

During this time, singlecomponent binder (SCB) systems have governed the market. Single-component binders are defined as those with one binder or two if the secondary binder dosage is 1% or less (e.g., 3% asphalt emulsion with 1% hydrated lime). In contrast, this paper investigates multiplecomponent binder (MCB) systems (e.g., 2.5% emulsion with 2% portland cement). This paper's objective is threefold: (1) present a universal CIR design framework applicable to any cementitious and/or bituminous material; (2) demonstrate MCB sustainability advantages; and (3) conduct an extensive SCB and MCB characterization. Universal design framework components include specimen preparation, curing, and testing protocols. Nine binder combinations were tested for wheel tracking, permeability, modulus, strength, and cracking response. Cement SCBs yielded low cracking resistance, high rutting resistance, and favorable economics; emulsion SCBs yielded the opposite. Multiple-component binders balanced cracking, rutting, and economics. The work presented in this paper could benefit agencies in many ways, for example, by promoting informed decisions regarding CIR performance and economics.

This matting system can support heavy aircraft loads even when placed directly over graded in situ soils. This paper presents the development of a test protocol and corresponding relationships that can be used to predict fatigue failure of AM2's mechanical joints over any subgrade California bearing ratio (CBR) when subjected to high tire pressure single-wheel aircraft loading. First, full-scale simulated aircraft traffic experiments were conducted over sections of AM2 installed on subgrades with CBRs of 6, 10, 15, 25, and 100% to monitor subgrade deformation and fatigue failure. An increasing amplitude displacement function developed from a subgrade deformation model was then used to create a new laboratory procedure to simulate fatigue experienced by the matting system's complex mechanical connectors under moving aircraft loads. Laboratory test results had strong correlations with field data and, therefore, have promise for predicting fatigue performance without the expense of full-scale experiments.

JO - Ocean Dynamics JF - Ocean Dynamics Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 66 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1475 EP - 1495 SN - 16167341 AB - A depth-averaged 2-D model has been developed to simulate unsteady flow and nonuniform sediment transport in coastal waters. The current motion is computed by solving the phase-averaged 2-D shallow water flow equations reformulated in terms of total-flux velocity, accounting for the effects of wave radiation stresses and general diffusion or mixing induced by current, waves, and wave breaking. The cross-shore boundary conditions are specified by assuming fully developed longshore current and wave setup that are determined using the reduced 1-D momentum equations. A 2-D wave spectral transformation model is used to calculate the wave height, period, direction, and radiation stresses, and a surface wave roller model is adopted to consider the effects of surface roller on the nearshore currents. The nonequilibrium transport of nonuniform total-load sediment is simulated, considering sediment entrainment by current and waves, the lag of sediment transport relative to the flow, and the hiding and exposure effect of nonuniform bed material. The flow and sediment transport equations are solved using an implicit finite volume method on a variety of meshes including nonuniform rectangular, telescoping (quadtree) rectangular, and hybrid triangular/quadrilateral meshes. The flow and wave models are integrated through a carefully designed steering process. The model has been tested in three field cases, showing generally good performance.

Many of their properties are listed in Section 3. We show that these families of polynomials in the variabletsatisfy certain second-order linear differential equations that may be of interest to mathematicians in conformal field theory and number theory. We also prove that these families of polynomials in the setting of Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa algebras when multiplied by a suitable power oftare orthogonal with respect to explicitly described kernels. Particular cases lead to new identities of elliptic integrals (see Section 5).

The context of this work is large autonomous ground vehicles that manoeuvre at high speed within unknown, unstructured, flat environments and have significant vehicle dynamics-related constraints. Five different representations of vehicle dynamics models are considered: four variations of the two degrees-of-freedom (DoF) representation as lower fidelity models and a fourteen DoF representation with combined-slip Magic Formula tyre model as a higher fidelity model. It is concluded that the two DoF representation that accounts for tyre nonlinearities and longitudinal load transfer is necessary for the MPC-based obstacle avoidance algorithm in order to operate the vehicle at its limits within an environment that includes large obstacles. For less challenging environments, however, the two DoF representation with linear tyre model and constant axle loads is sufficient.

Electrode materials were fabricated with varying concentrations of silver-coated silica and silver flakes to evaluate their electrical, mechanical, and EEG transmission performance. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of the initial electrode development identified some weak points in the sensors' construction, including particle pull-out and ablation of the silver coating on the silica filler. The newly-developed sensor materials achieved significant improvement in EEG measurements while maintaining the advantages of previous silicone-based electrodes, including flexibility and non-toxicity. The experimental results indicated that the proposed electrodes maintained suitable performance even after exposure to temperature fluctuations, 85% relative humidity, and enhanced corrosion conditions demonstrating improvements in the environmental stability. Fabricated flat (forehead) and acicular (hairy sites) electrodes composed of the optimum identified formulation exhibited low impedance and reliable EEG measurement; some initial human experiments demonstrate the feasibility of using these silicone-based electrodes for typical lab data collection applications.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 53 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1802 EP - 1820 SN - 00218669 AB - The focus of this work is on the computational methodology for aerodynamic modeling of ram-air parachutes and increasing confidence and understanding in their concept designs including new parachute control methods. The complex geometries of ram-air parachutes are modeled by two-dimensional rigid airfoil geometries with or without trailing-edge deflections and bleed air spoilers. The aerodynamic forces are then calculated from steady or unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations using Cobalt and Kestrel flow solvers. The effects of the grid size and type, the time step, and the choice of solver parameters are investigated. The flow solvers are then used to study the flow around three-dimensional wings with open/closed ram-air inlets by comparing lift and drag coefficients with available experimental data. The results show that computational fluid dynamics simulations are a valuable aid in understanding the flow structure of ram-air parachutes, which resemble a rectangular wing with open inlets. However, the computational solutions of these geometries have initial oscillations of large amplitude and converge slowly compared to closed wings/airfoils. The simulation of open geometry should run unsteady and for a large number of time steps. It is also shown that an open-inlet geometry has smaller lift and larger drag, and it stalls earlier than a closed-inlet geometry. Although the air reaches stagnation conditions inside the cavity present in an open airfoil, the air pressure inside the wing cells is less than the stagnation pressure. The flow investigations show that eddies are formed on the lower surface of the open airfoil and wings; however, the wing eddy size varies in the spanwise direction. Finally, the grid sensitivity results show that the solutions of open geometries are very sensitive to the grid quality.

The purpose of this study was to determine the 10-yr incidence rate of shoulder dislocations in soldiers, the percentage with recurrent instability, and risk factors for these injuries. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used medical encounter data from U.S. Army soldiers to calculate the 10-yr incidence rate for shoulder dislocations and the percentage of chronic or recurrent injuries >3 months and ≤2 yr after the initial diagnosis. A Cox proportional hazards model was constructed using demographic variables (age, race, education level, marital status, and sex) to determine incidence rate ratios for risk factors related to shoulder dislocation. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio for risk factors for recurrent injury, including concurrent diagnoses (brachial plexus or peripheral nerve injuries and fractures of the scapula or proximal humerus). Results: There were 15,426 incident shoulder dislocations, with a 10-yr incidence rate of 3.13 per 1000 person-year. Soldiers ≤40 yr old showed greater risk for injury compared with those older than 40 yr. The incidence rate ratio for males compared with females was 1.64,95% confidence interval = 1.55-1.74. Recurrent injury occurred in 28.7% of cases. Concurrent axillary nerve injury (odds ratio = 3.64, 95% confidence interval = 1.56-8.46) and age ≤35 yr were associated with greater risk of recurrence. Conclusion: Within the active duty U.S. Army, men and younger individuals showed greater risk for shoulder dislocations. Over one-quarter of incident cases became recurrent. Axillary nerve injuries and younger age increased the odds of recurrent injury.

However, it has been unknown whether SLODR applies to the domain of emotional intelligence. Analyses document SLODR effects for the Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). These results suggest that reports of minimal g loadings for emotional intelligence batteries may have reflected the use of high ability samples. Broader conclusions suggest that g loadings for emerging ability domains should be based on data collected from broad cognitive ability samples because the use of higher ability samples will systematically underestimate g loadings and cannot be accurately corrected for direct range restriction.

Correlations are quantified by the Frobenius norm of the commutator of two positive operators acting on disjoint regions of a one-dimensional circular chain of length L. For a time $$t=O(L)$$ , correlations spread ballistically to spatial distances $$\mathcal {D}=t$$ , growing at best, diffusively with time for any distance within that radius with extensively suppressed distance- dependent corrections. For $$t=\varOmega (L^2)$$ , all parts of the system get almost equally correlated with exponentially suppressed distance- dependent corrections and approach the maximum amount of correlations that may be established asymptotically.

JO - Journal of Biomedical Optics JF - Journal of Biomedical Optics Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 21 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 10833668 AB - During emergency medical situations, where the patient has an obstructed airway or necessitates respiratory support, endotracheal intubation (ETI) is the medical technique of placing a tube into the trachea in order to facilitate adequate ventilation of the lungs. Complications during ETI, such as repeated attempts, failed intubation, or accidental intubation of the esophagus, can lead to severe consequences or ultimately death. Consequently, a need exists for a feedback mechanism to aid providers in performing successful ETI. Our study examined the spectral reflectance properties of the tracheal and esophageal tissue to determine whether a unique spectral profile exists for either tissue for the purpose of detection. The study began by using a hyperspectral camera to image excised pig tissue samples exposed to white and UV light in order to capture the spectral reflectance properties with high fidelity. After identifying a unique spectral characteristic of the trachea that significantly differed from esophageal tissue, a follow-up investigation used a fiber optic probe to confirm the detectability and consistency of the different reflectance characteristics in a pig model. Our results characterize the unique and consistent spectral reflectance characteristic of tracheal tissue, thereby providing foundational support for exploiting spectral properties to detect the trachea during medical procedures.

First, two textile materials are chosen for modeling that exhibit two limit cases: complete flame spread (nylon 6,6/cotton fiber fabric) and self-extinguish (flame retardant rayon/nylon 6,6/para-aramid fiber fabric) in the standard vertical flame test (ASTM D6413). Parameter estimation for unknown model parameters is performed for these samples followed by a sensitivity analysis. Then a new sample is modeled—flame retardant cotton fiber fabric, flame retardant cotton. This modeling exercise shows that computational fluid dynamics modeling is capable of capturing the fire characteristics of different fabric samples in the vertical flame test only when the parameters are carefully estimated considering the modeling assumptions and approaches. Additionally, several areas for further investigation are proposed to improve simulation capability when conducting vertical flame test modeling with textile samples.

JO - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) JF - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 28 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 488 EP - 497 SN - 08995605 AB - The repeal of combat restrictions by gender raises the importance of understanding factors related to the acceptance of women serving in the full range of military jobs. Previous research shows military affiliated cadets, especially males, are substantially less approving of women serving in military jobs, especially those involving exposure to direct combat or command positions, than are other college students. The current study extends these findings by considering political ideology in addition to gender and military affiliation, as related to attitudes toward women's roles in the military overall and in combat roles in particular. Survey data from Service Academy cadets (n = 3,116), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets (n = 1,367), and nonmilitary affiliated college students (n = 2,648), provided measures of whether a woman should or should not be allowed to serve in 9 different military job areas. In addition to overall approval, a scale for combat jobs was created from a subset of 4 of the jobs. Regression analysis indicated that once gender, political party, political position (left/right), and attitudes toward mothers in the workforce overall were controlled, type of college did not add to the prediction of acceptance of women in various military roles. In general, nonmilitary affiliated respondents, women, and those identifying as Democrat offered higher approval scores. Our findings suggest more aggressive programs, designed to educate and socialize these future leaders about women's roles in the military, may require development.

The center supports comprehensive research projects to optimize treatment strategies and promote the successful return to duty and community reintegration of injured service members. The center also provides a unique platform for fostering innovative research and incorporating clinical/technical advances in the rehabilitative care for service members. CRSR is composed of four research focus areas: (1) identifying barriers to successful rehabilitation and reintegration, (2) improving pain management strategies to promote full participation in rehabilitation programs, (3) applying novel technologies to advance rehabilitation methods and enhance outcome assessments, and (4) transferring new technology to improve functional capacity, independence, and quality of life. Each of these research focus areas works synergistically to influence the quality of life for injured service members. The purpose of this overview is to highlight the clinical research efforts of CRSR, namely how this organization engages a broad group of interdisciplinary investigators from medicine, biology, engineering, anthropology, and physiology to help solve clinically relevant problems for our service members, veterans, and their families.

The isolates differed from the vaccine strain A/California/07/2009 by three amino acid substitutions P100S, S220T, and I338V in the hemagglutinin and by two amino acid substitutions V106I and N248D in the neuraminidase proteins with consistent mutations in all gene segments distinguishing isolates from the 2009/2010 to 2010/2011 seasons. Phylogenetic analysis showed low genetic evolution, with genetic distances of 0%-1.3% and 0.1%-1.6% for HA and NA genes, respectively. The amino acid substitutions did not lead to antigenic differences from the reference strains.

Injured neurons fail to regrow both because of the inhibitory milieu in which they reside as well as a loss of the intrinsic growth capacity of the neurons. If we are to develop effective therapeutic interventions that promote functional recovery for the devastating injuries described above, we must not only better understand the molecular mechanisms of developmental axonal growth in hopes of re-activating these pathways in the adult, but at the same time be aware that re-activation of adult axonal growth may proceed via distinct mechanisms. With this knowledge in hand, promoting adult regeneration of central nervous system neurons can become a more tractable and realistic therapeutic endeavor.

JO - Surface & Coatings Technology JF - Surface & Coatings Technology Y1 - 2016/10/25/ VL - 304 M3 - Article SP - 98 EP - 107 SN - 02578972 AB - Tungsten nitride layers, 1.45-μm-thick, were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on MgO(001), MgO(111), and Al 2 O 3 (0001) in 20 mTorr N 2 at T s = 500–800 °C. All layers deposited at T s = 500–700 °C form a cubic phase, as determined by X-ray diffraction ω -2 θ scans, and show an N-to-W ratio x that decreases from x = 1.21 to 0.83 with increasing T s = 500–700 °C, as measured by energy dispersive and photoelectron spectroscopies. T s = 500 and 600 °C yields polycrystalline predominantly 111 oriented β -WN on all substrates. In contrast, deposition at 700 °C results in epitaxial growth of β -WN(111) and β -WN(001) on MgO(111) and MgO(001), respectively, and a 111-preferred orientation on Al 2 O 3 (0001). T s = 800 °C causes nitrogen loss and WN x layers with primarily BCC W grains and x = 0.04–0.06. Density functional theory calculations indicate an increase in structural stability by the introduction of either W or N vacancies into the cubic rock-salt structure, reducing the formation energy per atom from 0.32 eV for the rock-salt structure to 0.09 eV for WN 0.75 and − 0.07 eV for WN 1.33 , and to − 0.42 eV for stoichiometric WN in the NbO structure. The out-of-plane lattice constant decreases from 4.357–4.169 Å with increasing T s = 500–700 °C. Comparing these values with calculated lattice constants indicates that the W vacancy concentration increases from 6–11% for T s = 500–600 °C to 11–18% for T s = 700 °C, while the N vacancy concentration also increases from negligible to 18–29%. The simultaneous increase of both vacancy types is attributed to thermally activated N 2 recombination and desorption and atomic rearrangement towards the thermodynamically favorable cubic NbO structure which contains 25% of both W and N vacancies. The measured elastic modulus ranges from 110 to 260 GPa for 500–700 °C and decreases with increasing N-content, and increases to 350 GPa for T s = 800 °C. The room temperature resistivity decreases with increasing T s = 500–700 °C from 4.5–1.1 × 10 3 μΩ-cm, indicating a resistivity decrease with decreasing nitrogen content and increasing crystalline quality and phase purity.

The atomic level results show that the interface structure consists of a rectangular array of dislocations that lie along the high symmetry directions of the interface. The interface can be constructed using three different atomic terminating planes in the cementite structure, which dictates the chemistry and registry of the interface and controls the interfacial energy. The FeC-Fe terminating plane is always the lowest energy because the interfacial dislocations are most easily able to spread on these planes, thus reducing the interfacial energy. These atomistic results compare favorably with results from a continuum model based on O-lattice theory and anisotropic continuum theory. The dislocation spacing and interfacial energies predicted from the continuum level agree well with the atomistic simulation results.

Unfortunately, first-order wedges are frequently very poor performers and are the only ones typically contained in explicit solid dynamic programs. The historic preference of first-order elements with explicit methods has frequently been for simplicity and cost, but has also been from the lack of both a satisfactory consistent nodal loading distribution and an acceptable mass lumping technique for serendipity elements. Row summation lumping, for example, produces negative and zero vertex node masses for the popular fifteen and eighteen node wedges, respectively, and zero vertex nodal loads from a uniform traction on the triangular faces. The paper first presents twenty-one node wedge element formulations that produce all positive nodal loads from uniform tractions and row summation mass lumping for this element is shown to produce all positive nodal masses. In addition, they are compatible with other second-order elements applicable to lumped mass explicit methods. Performance is assessed in standard benchmark problems and practical applications using various elastic and elastic-plastic material models and involving very large strains/deformations, severe distortions, and contact-impact. These wedge elements are evaluated on their own as well as part of hexahedral-dominant meshes that use wedges for fill regions and transition from hexahedral to tetrahedral elements. In all cases, these elements performed satisfactorily and thus demonstrate their viability and benefits for practical applications, especially for fill and transition regions of low interest.

This investigation simultaneously assessed cognitive, affective, hormonal, and heart-rate responses induced by an intensely stressful real-world environment designed to simulate wartime captivity. Sixty males were evaluated during and immediately following participation in U.S. Army Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) school, three weeks of intense but standardized training for Soldiers at risk of capture. Simulated captivity and intense mock interrogations degraded grammatical reasoning ( p < 0.005), sustained-attention ( p < 0.001), working memory ( p < 0.05) and all aspects of mood assessed by the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire: Tension/Anxiety, Depression/Dejection, Anger/Hostility, Vigor/Activity, Fatigue/Inertia; Confusion/Bewilderment, and Total Mood Disturbance ( p < 0.001) It also elevated heart rate ( p < 0.001); increased serum and salivary cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-s) ( p < 0.01); elevated serum epinephrine, norepinephrine, and soluble transferrin receptors (sTfR) ( p < 0.01); increased salivary neuropeptide-Y (NPY) ( p < 0.001); and decreased serum prolactin and serum and salivary testosterone ( p < 0.001). Partial recovery was observed immediately after training, but stress-induced changes, particularly in body weight and several of the biomarkers, persisted. This study demonstrates that when individuals were exposed to realistic and controlled simulated captivity, cognition, mood, stress hormones, nutritional status and heart rate are simultaneously altered, and each of these subsequently recovers at different rates.

The model [2]-catenane is self-assembled from dipeptide building blocks and contains an extensive network of hydrogen bonds and aromatic interactions. Perturbations to the catenane cause compensating changes in the NCNs structure and dynamics, resulting in long-distance changes reminiscent of a protein. Key findings include the notion that NCNs require regions of negative cooperativity, or "frustrated" noncovalent interactions, as a source of potential energy for driving the response. We refer to this potential energy as latent free energy and describe a mechanistic and energetic model for responsive systems.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2016/10/12/ VL - 16 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 6357 EP - 6363 SN - 15306984 AB - Layered transition-metal oxides (Li[NixMnyCoz]O2, NMC, or NMCxyz) due to their poor stability when cycled at a high operating voltage (<4.5 V) have limited their practical applications in industry. Earlier researches have identified Mn(II)-dissolution and some parasitic reactions between NMC surface and electrolyte, especially when NMC is charged to a high potential, as primarily factors responsible for the fading. In our previous work, we have achieved a capacity of NMC active material close to theoretical value and optimized its cycling performance by a depolarized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) network and an unique "pre-lithiation process" that generates an in situ organic coating (∼40 nm) to prevent Mn(II) dissolution and minimize the parasitic reactions. Unfortunately, this organic coating is not durable enough during a long-term cycling when the cathode operates at a high potential (<4.5 V). This work attempts to improve the surface protection of the NMC532 particles by applying an active inorganic coating consisting of nanosized- and crystal-orientated LiFePO4 (LFP) (about 50 nm, exposed (010) face) to generate a core-shell nanostructure of Li(NixMnyCoz)O2@LiFePO4. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and etching X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have confirmed an intimate contact coating (about 50 nm) between the original structure of NMC and LFP single-particle with atomic interdiffusion at the core-shell interface, and an array of interconnected aligned Li+ tunnels are observed at the interface by cross-sectional high-resolution TEM, which were formed by ball-milling and then strictly controlling the temperature below 100 °C. Batteries based on this modified NMC cathode material show a high reversible capacity when cycled between 3.0 and 4.6 V during a long-term cycling.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 96 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 34 SN - 0734743X AB - The ballistic perforation response of knits formed from continuous filament aramid is reported and compared to conventional armor textiles and commodity fabrics. The ballistic experiments consist of 6.0-mm-diameter glass spheres impacted into gelatin-backed targets with areal densities from 200 to 1000 g/m 2 . These ballistic experiments are complemented with quasistatic reverse-perforation experiments to gain insights into deformation and failure for these materials. In-plane stretch experiments are also performed to quantify modulus and strain-to-failure. The results show that, while the ballistic performance of traditional woven textiles is generally superior to knitted aramids, knits formed from continuous filament aramid are significantly better than knits formed from staple yarn. Knitted structures are limited by two main factors: failure of a single yarn tends to lead to catastrophic deconstruction and perforation, and the low in-plane modulus of knits leads to poor lateral stress transfer and energy distribution during higher speed impact. Importantly, however, knits provide significantly more reversible elongation with less elastic resistance compared to other structures, such as woven textiles, making them well-suited for wearable protection in which comfort is critical. The results also show that continuous filament knits can be produced with commercial manufacturing equipment, and that barriers composed of few layers of high-denier yarn knits likely provide more efficient ballistic resistance than equivalent weight barriers composed of many layers of low-denier yarn knits.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 35 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2530 EP - 2541 SN - 07307268 AB - Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) can impact the reproductive system by interfering with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Although in vitro testing methods have been developed to screen chemicals for endocrine disruption, extrapolation of in vitro responses to in vivo action shows inconsistent accuracy. The authors describe a tissue coculture of the fathead minnow ( Pimephales promelas) HPG axis and liver (HPG-L) as a tissue explant model that mimics in vivo results. Brain (hypothalamus), pituitary, gonad, and liver tissue explants from adult fish were examined for function both individually and in coculture to determine combinations and conditions that could replicate in vivo behavior. Only cocultures had the ability to respond to an EDC, trenbolone, similarly to in vivo studies, based on estradiol, testosterone, and vitellogenin production trends, where lower exposure doses suppressed hormone production but higher doses increased production, resulting in distinctive U-shaped curves. These data suggest that a coculture system with all components of the HPG-L axis can be used as a link between in vitro and in vivo studies to predict endocrine system disruption in whole organisms. This tissue-based HPG-L system acts as a flexible deconstructed version of the in vivo system for better control and examination of the minute changes in system operation and response on EDC exposure with options to isolate, interrogate, and recombine desired components.

JO - GeoInformatica JF - GeoInformatica Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 20 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 879 EP - 921 SN - 13846175 AB - This paper proposes three methods of association analysis that address two challenges of Big Data: capturing relatedness among real-world events in high data volumes, and modeling similar events that are described disparately under high data variability. The proposed methods take as input a set of geotemporally-encoded text streams about violent events called 'storylines'. These storylines are associated for two purposes: to investigate if an event could occur again, and to measure influence, i.e., how one event could help explain the occurrence of another. The first proposed method, Distance-based Bayesian Inference, uses spatial distance to relate similar events that are described differently, addressing the challenge of high variability. The second and third methods, Spatial Association Index and Spatio-logical Inference, measure the influence of storylines in different locations, dealing with the high-volume challenge. Extensive experiments on social unrest in Mexico and wars in the Middle East showed that these methods can achieve precision and recall as high as 80 % in retrieval tasks that use both keywords and geospatial information as search criteria. In addition, the experiments demonstrated high effectiveness in uncovering real-world storylines for exploratory analysis.

JO - Clinical Biomechanics JF - Clinical Biomechanics Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 38 M3 - Article SP - 56 EP - 62 SN - 02680033 AB - Background The “dead spot” phenomenon in prosthetics is a disruption in forward progression observed in the rearfoot of passive prosthetic foot-ankle systems which results in a compensatory and inefficient gait pattern by amputees. A metric to quantify the dead spot as a kinetic event has not yet been introduced. The present study implements a three-part metric to evaluate the dead spot in terms of time, magnitude, and total area using center of pressure velocity and a novel threshold value calculation. Methods The metrics are implemented for proof of efficacy using a convenient sample of four amputees (2 transtibial, 2 transfemoral) who walked in a 3D motion capture system with integrated force plates over five foot conditions. Findings “Continuous-lever” feet designs showed the most favorable metric results between subjects ( p < 0.05) and in an ad hoc analysis compared to an ideal foot condition within subjects ( p > 0.05). Ten of 18 (55.6%) foot conditions found to be similar to the ideal were continuous-lever feet. Lack of significant similarity between the feet and ideal conditions (1 of 18, 5.6%) were found in transfemoral subjects. Interpretation The metric calculations were able to show statistical difference among foot conditions between subjects. One foot (continuous-lever, glass composite) had no detectable dead spot in the transtibial subjects. The lack of significant findings in transfemoral subjects indicates a different coefficient in threshold calculations may be more appropriate for these subjects versus transtibial subjects. Further research with larger sample is needed to determine clinically significant findings among feet and between transtibial and transfemoral subjects.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2016/10//Oct2016 Part 1 VL - 44 IS - 10, Part 1 M3 - Article SP - 1919 EP - 1927 SN - 00933813 AB - The ability of ferroelectric materials to generate high voltage under shock compression is a fundamental physical effect that makes it possible to create miniature autonomous explosive-driven pulsed power systems. Shock-induced depolarization releases an electric charge at the electrodes of the ferroelectric element, and a high electric potential and a high electric field appear across the element. We performed systematic studies of the electric breakdown field, Eb(d) , as a function of the ferroelectric element thickness, $d$ , for Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 (PZT 95/5) and Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT 52/48) ceramics compressed by transverse shock waves (shock front propagates perpendicular to the polarization vector) and established a relationship between these two values: E_{b}(d) = \textrm {const}\cdot d^{-\xi } . This law was found to be true in a wide range of ferroelectric element thicknesses from 1 to 50 mm. This result makes it possible to predict ferroelectric generator (FEG) output voltages up to 500 kV and it forms the basis for the design of ultrahigh-voltage FEG systems.

A critical issue associated with Mg-based alloys is their high degradation (corrosion) rates in oxidation environments. It is known that both the internal crystal structures and the impurity compositions/contents in the Mg alloys can affect the degradation rates. In the present work, we employed the density-functional theory (DFT) computation technique to understand the surface degradation behaviors with different crystallographic orientations and impurity elements from an atomistic point of view. Here, we studied the adsorption response of a water molecule to the Mg alloy surface and the dissolution of surface atoms that can be potentially applied to describe the degradation behavior of Mg/Mg alloy. The tendency for water molecule adsorption was quantified for Mg-based slab systems with low-index surface planes and various alloying elements including Al, Zn, Ca, and Y. The trends for surface degradation from these systems were examined using surface energy analysis and electrode potential shift analysis. The results show that adding Ca and/or Y increases the propensity to attract a water molecule to the alloy surface. Also, it was generally found that the relative electrode potential shift of Mg-Y alloys is positive while those of all other alloys are negative.

JO - Journal of Terramechanics JF - Journal of Terramechanics Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 67 M3 - Article SP - 25 EP - 36 SN - 00224898 AB - Modeling and simulation of vehicles in sand is critical for characterizing off-road mobility in arid and coastal regions. This paper presents improved algorithms for calculating sinkage ( z ) of wheeled vehicles operating on loose dry sand. The algorithms are developed based on 2737 tests conducted on sand with 23 different wheel configurations. The test results were collected from Database Records for Off-road Vehicle Environments (DROVE), a recently developed database of tests conducted with wheeled vehicles operating in loose dry sand. The study considers tire diameters from 36 to 124 cm with wheel loads of 0.19–36.12 kN. The proposed algorithms present a simple form of sinkage relationships, which only require the ratio of the wheel ground contact pressure and soil strength represented by cone index. The proposed models are compared against existing closed form solutions defined in the Vehicle Terrain Interface (VTI) model. Comparisons suggest that incorporating the proposed models into the VTI model can provide comparable predictive accuracy with simpler algorithms. In addition to simplicity, it is believed that the relationship between cone index (representing soil shear strength) and the contact pressure (representing the applied pressure to tire-soil interface) can better capture the physics of the problem being evaluated.

Although temporal stability of combat event reporting has been examined, less is known about the stability of reporting for noncombat events in military samples. Objectives are to examine consistency in reporting stressful life events in nondeployed U.S. Army soldiers and its association with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology. Method Examined reporting consistency over approximately 8 months among 466 soldiers. Regression models examined factors associated with decreased, increased, and stable reporting. Results Stability of the number of events endorsed over time was high. However, item-level agreement was slight to moderate (kappas: .13-.54), with inconsistencies due primarily to decreased reporting. After adjusting for covariates and initial PTSD, second assessment PTSD was associated with increased and stable reporting. Conclusions Inconsistent reporting extends beyond combat events to other stressful life events in military personnel and is associated with PTSD.

To assess connectivity and ancestry of I. affinis throughout its range, a fragment of the 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene was sequenced from seven adult I. affinis ticks collected in Colon, Panama, and compared to 19 previously published 16S haplotypes in two clades from the US, seven previously published haplotypes from Belize, and one previously published haplotype from Colombia. This study did not find any overlapping haplotypes between the US, Panama, Belize, and Colombia, showing no evidence for connectivity between North, Central, and South American populations of I. affinis. Two new I. affinis clades associated with ticks from Panama and Belize were also identified. The node that gave rise to the Panama clade of I. affinis was more basal than the nodes leading to the clades containing the majority of ticks from Belize and the United States, and ticks from Belize were more closely related to US ticks than Panama ticks. Several possible competing migration pathways were identified, where ticks may have been introduced to the northern US from Belize, or to the southern US from Panama. Star clusters present in each clade suggest rapid mutation rates after arrival in new areas, and may be associated with the success of I. affinis in invading northern climates. This study provides preliminary evidence for the spread of I. affinis from Central America into the US, and serves as a first step in investigating the possibility of connectivity between Central and North America tick populations.

New research into fundamental aspects of propene chemistry on nanoparticulate catalysts will help guide strategies for materials development. In the current study, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) have been employed to explore the molecular-level details of propene and propene oxide binding at a Au/TiO 2 catalyst. Competitive binding studies for propene and carbon monoxide reveal that propene readily displaces CO from: first, interfacial Au ||TiO 2 sites, then low coordinated Au sites at particulate corners and edges, and finally terrace regions of the particles. DFT calculations show that the C C bond of propene weakens upon coordination to Au, which suggests that these sites may activate the molecule for epoxidation. Like propene, propene oxide adsorbs on both Au sites and Ti sites. In addition, Ti-OH sites also readily bind the oxide. However, competitive binding experiments show that the propene oxide adsorption is favored relative to propene on all sites, which would likely passivate the catalyst at room temperature.

We derive explicit expressions for the long-time asymptotes of stress and particle velocity that are independent of the layered target’s elastic properties. This result is verified by numerical simulations of impact into layered targets with periodic or randomly distributed elastic properties, and holds when the half-space backing the target is replaced by either free or fixed boundary conditions. Our discrete recurrence relation solutions for impact into layered media, generalize our recent analytical results concerning impact into homogeneous, single-layer targets, as well as prior discrete recurrence relation solutions for stress wave propagation in Goupillaud-type layered elastic media.

By comparing a project participant's contribution in a given phase to several specified thresholds, a score of up to five points can be assigned; the contributor's scores in all four phases are summed to yield a total 'contribution score', which is compared to a threshold to determine which contributors merit authorship. This tool may be useful in a variety of contexts in which a systematic approach to authorial credit is desired.

Anisotropies in grain boundary energy, caused by differences in grain orientation (texturing), and the presence of an external magnetic field are examined in detail. In the former case, the Read-Shockley equations are used, in which grain boundary energies are computed using a low-angle misorientation approximation. In the latter case, magnetic anisotropy is simulated based on the relative orientation between the principal grain axis and the external magnetic field vector. Among other findings, the results of texture development subject to a magnetic field showed an increasing orientation distribution function (ODF) asymmetiy over time, with higher intensities favoring the grains with principal axes most closely aligned with the magnetic field direction. The magnetic field also tended to increase the average grain size, which was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the total grain boundaiy energy.

JO - Physica D JF - Physica D Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 332 M3 - Article SP - 34 EP - 40 SN - 01672789 AB - We examine the entropy of low-significance bits in analog-to-digital measurements of chaotic dynamical systems. We find the partition of measurement space corresponding to low-significance bits has a corrugated structure. Using simulated measurements of a map and experimental data from a circuit, we identify two consequences of this corrugated partition. First, entropy rates for sequences of low-significance bits more closely approach the metric entropy of the chaotic system, because the corrugated partition better approximates a generating partition. Second, accurate estimation of the entropy rate using low-significance bits requires long block lengths as the corrugated partition introduces more long-term correlation, and using only short block lengths overestimates the entropy rate. This second phenomenon may explain recent reports of experimental systems producing binary sequences that pass statistical tests of randomness at rates that may be significantly beyond the metric entropy rate of the physical source.

Adipocytes are no exception, responding to cues in specialized niches to perform vital metabolic and endocrine functions. The adipose microenvironment is remodeled during tissue expansion to maintain the structural and functional integrity of the tissue and disrupted remodeling in obesity contributes to the progression of metabolic syndrome, breast cancer, and other malignancies. The increasing incidence of these obesity-related diseases and the recent focus on improved in vitro models of human tissue biology underscore growing interest in the regulatory role of adipocyte microenvironments in health and disease.

The rating technique ranked damaged conditions based on a 0 to 3 rating. A total of 156 structures were analyzed using the rating technique. Unlike previously published condition ratings, the technique does not include functional assessments such as mechanical and electrical systems and does not directly consider habitant safety nor costs to structure. The intent of the rating is to provide a quantitative measure of the effects of Haiyan. The outcomes indicate that wind damage dominated as the major cause of failures (53%) and that roof damage is the most significant of the damage modes (21%). The rating gives a first-order assessment of the damaged conditions of the structures pertaining to the loading effects (wind, water or storm surge, or combined) from Super Typhoon Haiyan.

JO - Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities JF - Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 30 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 SN - 08873828 AB - Condition indexes have been developed to measure building component condition degradation due to age, use, and deterioration in support of asset management tasks related to work identification, planning, and prioritization. With the development of these indexes, a vast amount of condition index data have been collected for a wide range of components in buildings of varying type, use, and geographic location. The U.S. Department of Defense has implemented a standardized condition-assessment approach applied to thousands of Department-owned buildings, resulting in a vast condition index dataset to support more in-depth study of building component condition and reliability. This paper explores the existing data and develops a rigorous definition of the relationship between component condition, failure, and reliability. Presented is an approach using Markov transition probabilities to analyze the existing component condition datasets. This approach provides an improved method for predicting future condition index values based on past inspection results that are not based solely on inputs traditionally prone to error, such as component age and expected service life. It also results in a reliability metric that relates to a component's probability of failure, providing a much needed measure to manage risk.

JO - Injury JF - Injury Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 47 IS - 10 M3 - journal article SP - 2097 EP - 2104 SN - 00201383 AB - Objectives: Perforation of the chest (open pneumothorax) with and without lung injury can cause air accumulation in the chest, positive intrapleural pressure and lead to tension pneumothorax if untreated. The performance of chest seals to prevent tension physiology depends partially on their ability to adhere to the skin and seal the chest wound. Novel non-occlusive vented chest seals were assessed for their adhesiveness on skin of live swine under normal and extreme environmental conditions to simulate austere battlefield conditions.Methods: Chest seals were applied on the back of the swine on skin that was soiled by various environmental contaminants to represent battlefield situations. A peeling (horizontal rim peeling) and detachment and breaching (vertical pulling) techniques were used to quantify the adhesive performance of vented chest seals. Among eight initially selected vented seals, five (Bolin, Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) were further down-selected based on their superior adherence scores at ambient temperatures. The adherence of these seals was then assessed after approximately 17h storage at extreme cold (-19.5°C) and hot (71.5°C) temperatures.Results: Adherence scores for peeling (above 90%) and detachment scores (less than 25%) were comparable for four vented chest seals when tested at ambient temperature, except for the Bolin seal which had higher breaching. Under extreme storage temperatures, adherence peeling scores were comparable to those at ambient temperatures for four chest seals. Scores were significantly lower for the Bolin seal at extreme temperatures. This seal also had the highest detachment and breaching scores. In contrast, the Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM seals showed similar ability to stay air tight without breaching after hot storage.Conclusion: No significant difference was found in skin adherence of the five vented chest seals at ambient temperature and the four seals (Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) maintained superior adherence even after exposure to extreme temperatures compared to the Bolin. To select the most effective product from the 5 selected vented chest seals, further functional evaluation of the valve of these chest seals on a chest wound with the potential for tension in the pneumothorax or hemopneumothorax is warranted.

JO - Experimental Gerontology JF - Experimental Gerontology Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 83 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 21 SN - 05315565 AB - Oxidative stress can lead to premature aging symptoms and cause acute mortality at higher doses in a range of organisms. Oxidative stress resistance and longevity are mechanistically and phenotypically linked; considerable variation in oxidative stress resistance exists among and within species and typically covaries with life expectancy. However, it is unclear whether stress-resistant, long-lived individuals avoid, repair, or tolerate molecular damage to survive longer than others. The honey bee ( Apis mellifera L.) is an emerging model system that is well-suited to address this question. Furthermore, this species is the most economically important pollinator, whose health may be compromised by pesticide exposure, including oxidative stressors. Here, we develop a protocol for inducing oxidative stress in honey bee males (drones) via Paraquat injection. After injection, individuals from different colony sources were kept in common social conditions to monitor their survival compared to saline-injected controls. Oxidative stress was measured in susceptible and resistant individuals. Paraquat drastically reduced survival but individuals varied in their resistance to treatment within and among colony sources. Longer-lived individuals exhibited higher levels of lipid peroxidation than individuals dying early. In contrast, the level of protein carbonylation was not significantly different between the two groups. This first study of oxidative stress in male honey bees suggests that survival of an acute oxidative stressor is due to tolerance, not prevention or repair, of oxidative damage to lipids. It also demonstrates colony differences in oxidative stress resistance that might be useful for breeding stress-resistant honey bees.

The system was developed and implemented on General Electric test reactors designed to model power transmission line behavior in a laboratory environment. The measurement system and data processing are controlled and automated via custom developed LabVIEW software. Measurements are obtained from voltage and current probes interfacing with oscilloscopes. This data is then acquired and processed in LabVIEW software. The structure of the transmission line model, desired confidence level and number of tests to conduct are specified user inputs. The system subsequently provides the transmission line impedance parameters based on these specifications. These parameters are calculated using both time domain and frequency domain techniques. While this work focuses on determining transmission line model parameters, this automated test measurement system is applicable to any device that can be parameterized via a current–voltage ( I – V ) characteristic or frequency response.

JO - Journal of Community Health JF - Journal of Community Health Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 41 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 939 EP - 945 SN - 00945145 AB - In the past, several enteric outbreaks in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2003 caused by Salmonella typhi, a Gram-negative bacterium, have occurred in Armenia. This study describes the demographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of febrile hospitalized patients with intestinal infections in Armenia. Using a chart review study design, medical data from adult patients who were hospitalized at the Nork hospital during 2010-2012 were reviewed. A total of 600 medical charts were reviewed. Of these, 51 % were diagnosed with intestinal infections. Among these patients, 59 % had an intestinal infection of known etiology, with three main pathogens identified: Salmonella sp. (32 %), Shigella sp. (32 %), and Staphylococcus aureus (18 %). After controlling for the calendar year, age in years, and gender, patients detected with Salmonella sp. were more likely to reported the presence of a family member with similar signs or symptoms [odds ratio (OR) 9.0; 95 % CI 2.4-33.7] and the lack of a water tap at home (OR 3.9; 95 % CI 1.7-9.5). Evidence indicates that Salmonella sp., Shigella sp., and S. aureus as the most common etiologies reported among febrile hospitalized patients. A high percentage of patients had intestinal infections of unknown etiology; thus, improvement in laboratory capacity (enabling more advanced tests, such as polymerase chain reaction) would increase the identification of the enteropathogens causing disease in Armenia.

JO - Journal of Biomechanical Engineering JF - Journal of Biomechanical Engineering Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 138 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 01480731 AB - Prior studies have assessed the effects of load carriage on the tibia. Here, we expand on these studies and investigate the effects of load carriage on joint reaction forces (JRFs) and the resulting spatiotemporal stress/strain distributions in the tibia. Using full-body motion and ground reaction forces from a female subject, we computed joint and muscle forces during walking for four load carriage conditions. We applied these forces as physiological loading conditions in a finite-element (FE) analysis to compute strain and stress. We derived material properties from computed tomography (CT) images of a sex-, age-, and body mass index-matched subject using a mesh morphing and mapping algorithm, and used them within the FE model. Compared to walking with no load, the knee JRFs were the most sensitive to load carriage, increasing by as much as 26.2% when carrying a 30% of body weight (BW) load (ankle: 16.4% and hip: 19.0%). Moreover, our model revealed disproportionate increases in internal JRFs with increases in load carriage, suggesting a coordinated adjustment in the musculature functions in the lower extremity. FE results reflected the complex effects of spatially varying material properties distribution and muscular engagement on tibia! biomechanics during walking. We observed high stresses on the anterior crest and the medial suiface of the tibia at pushoff, whereas high cumulative stress during one walking cycle was more prominent in the medioposterior aspect of the tibia. Our findings reinforce the need to include: (1) physiologically accurate loading conditions when modeling healthy subjects undergoing short-term exercise training and (2) the duration of stress exposure when evaluating stress-fracture injury risk. As a fundamental step toward understanding the instantaneous effect of external loading, our study presents a means to assess the relationship between load carriage and bone biomechanics.

This work investigates the presence of carbon, its structure, carbon-metal bonding, surface characterization and dispersion of carbon incorporated in Al alloys by electrocharging assisted process. Networks of Graphene nanoribbons with 3D epitaxy and preferred orientation along the 〈110〉 and 〈112〉 directions of Al are evident by transmission electron microscopy and spectrum imaging of the C K edge electron energy loss spectra. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman scattering corroborate sp 2 carbon in Al-6061, and hybrid sp 2 -sp 3 in Al-7075 with added carbon. Kelvin probe force microscopy substantiates the presence of carbon in the Al matrix. Phonon density of states derived from first-principles calculations predicts C Al Raman active modes whilst density functional theory indicates covalent bonding between carbon and Al. This method of incorporation of graphene nanostructures in metals with strong carbon-metal bonding can open up new avenues for incorporation of sp 2 carbon structures in other materials.

JO - Journal of Applied Mechanics JF - Journal of Applied Mechanics Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 83 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 00218936 AB - The present work serves to document the development and findings associated with a wavelet-based multiscale simulation analysis for anisotropic grain growth of a two-dimensional polycrystalline material. In particular, lattice-based Monte Carlo and atomically-based Molecular Dynamics simulations are used to compute the grain boundary energies over their respective spatial domains. Serial coupling is performed utilizing an orthonormal set of Haar wavelet transforms embedded within a corresponding multiresolution analysis. For the Monte Carlo approach, anisotropies in grain boundary energies, caused by differences in grain orientation (texturing), are examined using two distinct methods, while the molecular dynamics simulations, offering inherent anisotropy, are conducted assuming the interatomic Lennard Jones potential. Among other findings, under the present context, the results confirm the viability of the wavelet-based multiresolution analysis (MRA) method for use as a potential coupling agent, and provide substantiation for its use with other applications. The results further offer quantitative comparisons between isotropic and anisotropic modeling results, and demonstrate their range of applicability.

JO - Current Eye Research JF - Current Eye Research Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 41 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1294 EP - 1301 SN - 02713683 AB - Background: Blast-related ocular injuries sustained by military personnel have led to rigorous efforts to elucidate the effects of blast exposure on neurosensory function. Recent studies have provided some insight into cognitive and visual deficits sustained following blast exposure; however, limited data are available on the effects of blast on pain and inflammatory processes. Investigation of these secondary effects of blast exposure is necessary to fully comprehend the complex pathophysiology of blast-related injuries. The overall purpose of this study is to determine the effects of single and repeated blast exposure on pain and inflammatory mediators in ocular tissues. Methods: A compressed air shock tube was used to deliver a single or repeated blast (68.0 ± 2.7 kPa) to anesthetized rats daily for 5 days. Immunohistochemistry was performed on ocular tissues to determine the expression of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) following single and repeated blast exposure. Neutrophil infiltration and myeloperoxidase (MPO) expression were also assessed in blast tissues via immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis, respectively. Results: TRPV1 expression was increased in rat corneas exposed to both single and repeated blast. Increased secretion of CGRP, SP, and ET-1 was also detected in rat corneas as compared to control. Moreover, repeated blast exposure resulted in neutrophil infiltration in the cornea and stromal layer as compared to control animals. Conclusion: Single and repeated blast exposure resulted in increased expression of TRPV1, CGRP, SP, and ET-1 as well as neutrophil infiltration. Collectively, these findings provide novel insight into the activation of pain and inflammation signaling mediators following blast exposure.

Static and dynamic uniaxial compressive strength, and static and dynamic Vickers indentation hardness were determined, and Raman spectroscopy was then conducted on indented regions to quantify and compare the intensity of amorphization. In relation to coarse-grained B4C the ultrafinegrained material exhibited, on average, a 33% higher static compressive strength, 20% higher dynamic compressive strength, 10% higher static Vickers hardness, and 23% higher dynamic Vickers hardness. In addition, there was an 18% reduction in indentation-induced radial crack length in ultrafine-grained B4C, which corresponded to an increase in estimated fracture toughness. Although traditional coarse-grained B4C exhibits an 8.6% decrease in hardness from the static to dynamic regimes, ultrafine-grained B4C showed only negligible change under similar conditions, suggesting a reduced propensity for amorphization. Raman spectroscopic analysis confirmed this result by revealing significantly lower amorphization intensity in ultrafine-B4C compared to coarse-grained B4C. These results may have significant positive implications in the implementation of ultrafine-grained boron carbide as a material for improved performance in impact and other highpressure applications.

JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 116 M3 - Article SP - 180 EP - 194 SN - 03783839 AB - A non-hydrostatic wave model (SWASH) that phase-resolves the free surface and fluid motions in the water column is applied to investigate wave transformation and the spatial distribution of wave breaking over different morphological features. The model is forced using observed directional energy spectra and results are compared to wave observations collected outside the surf zone using acoustic wave sensors, and over a 100 m nearshore transect using high-frequency measurements of the sea surface from a LIDAR sensor mounted on the beach dune at the Field Research Facility in Duck, NC. The model is applied to four cases with different wave conditions and bathymetry, tested for sensitivity of model parameters to these different natural conditions, and used to predict the spatial variability in wave breaking and correlation between energy dissipation and morphologic features. Model results compare very well with observations of spectral evolution outside the surf zone, and generally well with the remotely sensed observations of wave transformation inside the surf zone with R = 0.85-0.93 for H s along the cross-shore transect. In particular the model is able to spatially resolve wave shoaling and dissipation at the shore break at the same location as observed in the LIDAR data. The results indicate that nearshore morphology has a significant effect on the spatial distribution of wave energy dissipation. Alongshore variability in bathymetry due to bars, rip channels, and larger morphological features such as the scour depression under the pier, causes large alongshore changes in cross-shore wave energy flux that influence the location and intensity of wave breaking.

Today, there are multiple optical trapping schemes in use. In this article, we explore six different optical trapping schemes based on the photophoretic force (PPF). Within these schemes we explore 21 variants differing in such details as laser source, power, beam shape, and focusing optics.We evaluate and rate the trapping quality and performance of the six trapping schemes in terms of four key aspects: simplicity, robustness, flexibility, and efficiency. One of the schemes is novel: we introduce a simple, high quality scheme using a confocal design in which one trapping beam is effectively converted to two counter-propagating beams. The versatility of this new trapping scheme is demonstrated via application of the scheme to cavity ringdown spectroscopy. We hope this exploration of the diversity of PPF trapping schemes will extend applications of OT by providing researchers with information to assist in the selection of specific optical trapping schemes from the first-of-its-kind list of 21 configurations presented herein.

However, it is unclear if this reduction in strength is a consequence of high pressure or high velocity. Despite numerous fundamental studies of B4C under indentation and impact, the roles of strain rate and pressure on amorphization have not been fully established. Toward this end, rate dependent uniaxial compressive strength and rate dependent indentation hardness, along with Raman spectroscopy, have been employed to show that high strain rate deformation alone (without concurrent high pressure) cannot trigger localized amorphization in B4C. Based on our analysis, it is also suggested that rate dependent indentation hardness can be used to reveal if a given B4C ceramic exhibits amorphization under high pressure and high strain rate loading. It is argued that when amorphization does occur in B4C, its dynamic inelastic properties degrade more severely than its static properties. Finally, it is suggested that dynamic hardness, in conjunction with static hardness, can be used as a measurable mechanical property to reveal the incidence of amorphization in B4C without the need for postmortem TEM or Raman spectroscopy analyses.

A Hugoniot was determined to 12 GPa. Lateral stress measurements along with a study of the release behavior indicate that this material retains its shear strength to at least 8 GPa. Spall strength was measured for ∼1 μs compressive pulse durations and found to be approximately constant at 1.45 GPa up to shock stresses of 10 GPa. Beyond 10 GPa, spall strength decreases considerably. Uniaxial stress compression tests were conducted with a servo-hydraulic load frame and the Kolsky bar method to obtain stress-strain curves at strain-rates from 0.001/s to 85k/s. This data shows the material is rate independent. The shock experiments were simulated using a Lagrangian finite element code using a polynomial equation of state, the Johnson-Cook strength law, and the Cochran and Banner spall model. The ability of the simulations to reproduce the experimentally measured data is mixed, with significant deviations in modeling the plastic wave front, plastic release, and the spall pull-back signals.

Numerical simulations of spherical indentation on oriented single crystals are performed; predictions are compared with experimental data and observations from the literature. Model predictions for elastic response and initial yield using elastic constants obtained from resonant ultrasound spectroscopy agree with experimental data; predicted forces using constants obtained from Brillouin scattering tend to exceed experimental data. Influences of elastic anisotropy and elastic nonlinearity are significant. Predicted slip system activity is in reasonable agreement with that deduced from experimental surface profiles when a uniform strength of G/20 is assigned to all six slip systems, with G an effective elastic shear modulus. Predicted indentation forces in the post-yield regime exceed those observed in experiments, suggesting that surface and possibly subsurface fractures may contribute to a loss of stiffness in experiments at larger indentation depths.

The microscope images show that Fe2O3 could form some kind of alignment spontaneously in water even without external magnetic field. With the addition of external magnetic field, the alignment is strengthened. In water, the magnetic particle agglomeration to larger size occurs easily, which makes the directional alignment much faster and easier. Ethylene glycol solvent and chemical surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, NaDDBS could separate the Fe2O3 and CuO nanoparticles well in the fluids and avoid possible aggregation. Therefore, magnetic alignments are hard to observe. The measured thermal conductivities of each individual sample coincide with the microscope images and assumptions. In addition, pH values of Fe2O3 and CuO nanoparticles are measured and it has been determined that at those pH values, thermal conductivities of those nanoparticles would not be influenced according to the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory. The highlight of this paper is that our microscope images could well explain most of the literature data and conclusions and may open new door to better understanding fundamental nature of nanofluids.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 111 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 054108 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - SrTiO3 (STO) thin films were grown onto Pt/Ti/TiO2/SiO2/Si and bare Si substrates via metallo-organic solution deposition (MOSD). X ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and dielectric/insulating measurements were utilized to characterize the STO thin films. By optimizing the solution molarity, it is shown that it is possible to obtain low-frequency dielectric properties in STO thin films on Si substrates that approach those of bulk STO: a dielectric permittivity of 325 at 100 kHz with a tunability of ∼28% at ∼650 kV/cm, a low loss (<2%), and a leakage current density of 1.0 × 10-6 A/cm2 at 100 kV/cm. The bulk-like dielectric response of these films is attributed to the elimination of the relatively large in-plane tensile thermal stresses, which arise due to the thermal expansion mismatch between the STO film and the Si substrate. These tensile thermal stresses may be relaxed or completely eliminated through modification of the post-coalescence compressive growth stresses by precursor solution optimization. The SE data indicates that the STO thin films have a refractive index of ∼2.04 at 633 nm wavelength, which is lower than that of bulk STO. The dielectric, physical, and optical characterization results above the bandgap are consistent, but below the bandgap, the optical-frequency results demonstrate a ∼25% reduced dielectric response as compared to the bulk, which may be due to the different polarization mechanisms at work at high frequencies. These findings demonstrate that high-quality, electronic-grade, thin film STO films can be grown on Si substrates via the affordable, simple, and industry-standard MOSD technique by carefully adjusting the deposition parameters.

The BST films, grown on PtSi wafers via the metalorganic solution deposition (MOSD) technique, were crystallized via conventional furnace annealing (CFA) prior to UVA treatment, and the effects of UV annealing time on the structural, dielectric, and insulation properties were evaluated. The experimental results demonstrated significantly improved structural, dielectric, and insulation properties for the UVA films. Specifically, lattice parameter contraction (toward that of bulk BST60/40) and a 20% reduction in loss were observed for the UVA treated films with respect to the CFA/control film. Leakage current characteristics were found to be the most sensitive characterization technique to access material property modification as a result of UVA exposure time. Specifically, the 225 min UVA exposure time resulted in a three-order of magnitude reduction in leakage current density compared to the CFA film, and the lowest value observed was 1.06 × 10-7 A/cm2 at E = 300 kV/cm. The useable tunability (tunability value at the maximum acceptable leakage current, 500 pA) was found to be elevated by a factor of two with respect to that of the CFA/control BST film (52.31%/UVA film vs. 18.5%/control film). It is suggested that the improved material properties are due to the mitigation of unwanted oxygen vacancies within the film after UV-annealing. A mechanistic model is presented and discussed.

The DPD-H variant is developed for both a deterministic (Hoover) and stochastic (Langevin) barostat, where a barostat temperature is defined to satisfy the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for the Langevin barostat. For each variant, the Shardlow-splitting algorithm is formulated for both a velocity-Verlet scheme and an implicit scheme, where the velocity-Verlet scheme consistently performed better. The application of the Shardlow-splitting algorithm is particularly critical for the DPD-E and DPD-H variants, since it allows more temporally practical simulations to be carried out. The equivalence of the DPD variants is verified using both a standard DPD fluid model and a coarse-grain solid model. For both models, the DPD-E and DPD-H variants are further verified by instantaneously heating a slab of particles in the simulation cell, and subsequent monitoring of the evolution of the corresponding thermodynamic variables as the system approaches an equilibrated state while maintaining their respective constant-energy and constant-enthalpy conditions. The original SSA formulated for systems of equal-mass particles has been extended to systems of unequal-mass particles. The Fokker-Planck equation and derivations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for each DPD variant are also included for completeness.

The coarse graining employs the recently proposed multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) method, which is a particle-based force-matching approach for deriving free-energy effective interaction potentials. Though one-site and four-site coarse-grain (CG) models were parameterized from atomistic simulations of non-ordered (molten and ambient temperature amorphous) systems, the focus of the paper is a detailed study of the one-site model with a brief recourse to the four-site model. To improve the ability of the one-site model to be applied to crystalline phases at various pressures, it was found necessary to include explicit dependence on a particle density, and a new theory of local density-dependent MS-CG potentials is subsequently presented. The density-dependency is implemented through interpolation of MS-CG force fields derived at a preselected set of reference densities. The computationally economical procedure for obtaining the reference force fields starting from the interaction at ambient density is also described. The one-site MS-CG model adequately describes the atomistic lattice structure of α-RDX at ambient and high pressures, elastic and vibrational properties, pressure-volume curve up to P = 10 GPa, and the melting temperature. In the molten state, the model reproduces the correct pair structure at different pressures as well as higher order correlations. The potential of the MS-CG model is further evaluated in simulations of shocked crystalline RDX [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Chemical Physics is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

SCFT of molten polymer brushes has proved numerically challenging in the past because of sharp features that arise in the self-consistent pressure field at the grafting surface due to the chain end tethering constraint. We show that this pressure anomaly can be reduced by smearing the grafting points over a narrow zone normal to the surface in an incompressible model, and/or by switching to a compressible model for the molten brush. In both cases, we use results obtained from a source (delta function) distribution of grafting points as a reference. At the grafting surface, we consider both Neumann and Dirichlet conditions, where the latter is paired with a masking method to mimic a confining surface. When only the density profiles and relative free energies of two comparison phases are of interest, either source or smeared distributions of grafting points can be used, but a smeared distribution of grafting points exhibits faster convergence with respect to the number of chain contour steps. Absolute free energies converge only within the smeared model. In addition, when a sine basis is used with the masking method and a smeared distribution, fewer iterations are necessary to converge the SCFT fields for the compressible model. The numerical methods described here and investigated in one-dimension will provide an enabling platform for computationally more demanding three-dimensional SCFT studies of a broad range of mixed polymer brush systems.

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to predict the tensile response of fibers composed of aligned carbon nanotubes with intermolecular bonds of interstitial carbon atoms. The effects of bond density and carbon nanotube length distribution on fiber strength and stiffness are investigated. The interstitial carbon bonds significantly increase load transfer between the carbon nanotubes over that obtained with van der Waals forces. The simulation results indicate that fibers with tensile strengths to 60 GPa could be produced by employing interstitial cross-link atoms. The elastic modulus of the fibers is also increased by the bonds.

In this work, an attempt is made to identify the origin of differences in liquid water properties generated from CPMD simulations run with the BLYP and HCTH/120 XC functionals and two different values of μ (representative of 'small' and 'large' limits) by analyzing the effective pairwise atom-atom interactions. The force-matching (FM) algorithm is used to map CPMD interactions into non-polarizable, empirical potentials defined by bonded interactions, pairwise short-ranged interactions in numerical form, and Coulombic interactions via atomic partial charges. The effective interaction models are derived for the BLYP XC functional with μ = 340 a.u. and μ = 1100 a.u. (BLYP-340 and BLYP-1100 simulations) and the HCTH/120 XC functional with μ = 340 a.u. (HCTH-340 simulation). The BLYP-340 simulation results in overstructured water with slow dynamics. In contrast, the BLYP-1100 and HCTH-340 simulations both produce radial distribution functions (indicative of structure) that are in reasonably good agreement with experiment. It is shown that the main difference between the BLYP-340 and HCTH-340 effective potentials arises in the short-ranged nonbonded interactions (in hydrogen bonding regions), while the difference between the BLYP-340 and BLYP-1100 interactions is mainly in the long-ranged electrostatic components. Collectively, these results demonstrate how the FM method can be used to further characterize various simulation ensembles (e.g., density-functional theory via CPMD). An analytical representation of each effective interaction water model, which is easy to implement, is presented.

JO - Coastal Engineering Journal JF - Coastal Engineering Journal Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 57 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - -1 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 05785634 AB - Manning's n values for open channel (river) flow have been studied by hydraulic engineers since the late 19th century, and a rich literature exists on the topic including large-scale laboratory experiments and actual field measurements. Both river flood models and shallow water equation tsunami inundation models incorporate the importance of varying equivalent roughness values with the large-scale roughness elements present for different land use types. However, many tsunami models (especially in Japan) use n values based on a very limited set of small-scale model laboratory experiments with inappropriate Reynolds and Weber numbers, instead of using Manning's n values from the open channel flow literature. Due to this, equivalent Manning's n values for vegetated and urban areas in these tsunami inundation models are too small, causing the mitigating effect of forests and urban regions to be underestimated. This paper presents a review of Manning's n research applied to both river flood and tsunami inundation models, and suggests values to improve the reliability of the latter.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 10 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 21 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Transplantation of freshly-aspirated autologous bone marrow, together with a scaffold, is a promising clinical alternative to harvest and transplantation of autologous bone for treatment of large defects. However, survival proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of the marrow-resident stem and progenitor cells with osteogenic potential can be limited in large defects by the inflammatory microenvironment. Previous studies using EGF tethered to synthetic polymer substrates have demonstrated that surface-tethered EGF can protect human bone marrow-derived osteogenic stem and progenitor cells from pro-death inflammatory cues and enhance their proliferation without detriment to subsequent osteogenic differentiation. The objective of this study was to identify a facile means of tethering EGF to clinically-relevant βTCP scaffolds and to demonstrate the bioactivity of EGF tethered to βTCP using stimulation of the proliferative response of human bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSC) as a phenotypic metric. We used a phage display library and panned against βTCP and composites of βTCP with a degradable polyester biomaterial, together with orthogonal blocking schemes, to identify a 12-amino acid consensus binding peptide sequence, LLADTTHHRPWT, with high affinity for βTCP. When a single copy of this βTCP-binding peptide sequence was fused to EGF via a flexible peptide tether domain and expressed recombinantly in E. coli together with a maltose-binding domain to aid purification, the resulting fusion protein exhibited modest affinity for βTCP. However, a fusion protein containing a linear concatamer containing 10 repeats of the binding motif the resulting fusion protein showed high affinity stable binding to βTCP, with only 25% of the protein released after 7 days at 37oC. The fusion protein was bioactive, as assessed by its abilities to activate kinase signaling pathways downstream of the EGF receptor when presented in soluble form, and to enhance the proliferation of hBMSC when presented in tethered form on commercial βTCP bone regeneration scaffolds.

There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in weight, body composition, and metabolic rate during the first year following traumatic amputation in military servicemembers. Servicemembers without amputation were included for comparison. Participants were measured within the first 12 wk after amputation (baseline) and at 6, 9, and 12 mo after amputation. Muscle mass, fat mass, weight, and metabolic rate were measured at each time point. There was a significant increase in weight and body mass index in the unilateral group between baseline and all follow-up visits (p < 0.01). Over the 12 mo period, total fat mass and trunk fat mass increased in both unilateral and bilateral groups; however, these changes were not statistically significant over time. Muscle mass increased in both the unilateral and bilateral groups despite percent of lean mass decreasing. No changes in resting metabolism or walking energy expenditure were observed in any group. The results of this study conclude that weight significantly increased because of an increase in both fat mass and muscle mass in the first year following unilateral and bilateral amputation.

Descriptive analyses utilizing the ANAM4TBI Military Performance Database were performed. We examined ANAM Composite Score (ACS) differences between five injury subgroups (no injury, brain injury with current symptoms, brain injury without current symptoms, nonbrain injury with current symptoms, and nonbrain injury without current symptoms) using general linear mixed modeling. Almost 11% (70,472/641,285) reported brain injury in the 4 years before assessment. The ACS differed significantly by injury group (p < 0.0001). In comparison to the no injury group, those reporting brain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.44) and nonbrain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.24) demonstrated significantly reduced ACS scores (p < 0.0001) indicative of reduced neurocognitive proficiency. In this population-based study of U.S. military personnel, neurocognitive performance was significantly associated with reported injury within the past 4 years among those experiencing current symptoms. Occupational programs focusing on prospective brain health of injured population groups are warranted.

These steps have assisted in providing a robust medical system and augment Ebola diagnostic capability within the affected nations. In order to prepare for the deployment of U.S. military personnel, the infectious disease risks of the regions must be determined. This evaluation allows for the establishment of appropriate force health protection posture for personnel while deployed, as well as management plans for illnesses presenting after redeployment. Our objective was to detail the epidemiology and infectious disease risks for military personnel in West Africa, particularly for Liberia, along with lessons learned from prior deployments.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Previous research has demonstrated that route planners use several reliable strategies for selecting between alternate routes. Strategies include selecting straight rather than winding routes leaving an origin, selecting generally south- rather than north-going routes, and selecting routes that avoid traversal of complex topography. The contribution of this paper is characterizing the relative influence and potential interactions of these strategies. We also examine whether individual differences would predict any strategy reliance. Results showed evidence for independent and additive influences of all three strategies, with a strong influence of topography and initial segment straightness, and relatively weak influence of cardinal direction. Additively, routes were also disproportionately selected when they traversed relatively flat regions, had relatively straight initial segments, and went generally south rather than north. Two individual differences, extraversion and sense of direction, predicted the extent of some effects. Under real-world conditions navigators indeed consider a route’s initial straightness, cardinal direction, and topography, but these cues differ in relative influence and vary in their application across individuals.

SN - 09335846 AB - The implication relationship between subsystems in Reverse Mathematics has an underlying logic, which can be used to deduce certain new Reverse Mathematics results from existing ones in a routine way. We use techniques of modal logic to formalize the logic of Reverse Mathematics into a system that we name s-logic. We argue that s-logic captures precisely the 'logical' content of the implication and nonimplication relations between subsystems in Reverse Mathematics. We present a sound, complete, decidable, and compact tableau-style deductive system for s-logic, and explore in detail two fragments that are particularly relevant to Reverse Mathematics practice and automated theorem proving of Reverse Mathematics results.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 180 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 547 EP - 553 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Previous reports indicate that the majority of U.S. Army soldiers consume dietary supplements (DSs) > 1 time/wk. However, these studies did not evaluate phytonutrient supplementation. A growing literature suggests inclusion of phytonutrients in DSs may pose a risk for toxicity, which could impact the performance of soldier duties, as well as long-term health and wellness. This study was conducted to assess and understand soldiers' motivations to consume phytonutrient-containing DSs, specifically genistein, quercetin, and resveratrol. The study was a cross-sectional, descriptive mixed-methods design using a survey and semistructured interviews. There were 436 soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington who completed the survey, from which 36 soldiers completed an interview. Overall, 34% of soldiers reported taking a single or multicomponent phytonutrient DS > 1 time/wk, from which 41 soldiers took >1 supplement/wk. Soldiers' reasons for use included unsure (54%), weight loss (12%), and other, unspecified (24%). The majority of interviewees did not consume DSs based on inclusion of genistein, quercetin, or resveratrol. The majority of soldiers, in our study, appear unable to rationalize their phytonutrient DS choices. Findings from this study illuminate the need for future research to further explore DS practices within military populations and encourage informed use of DSs.

JO - BMC Public Health JF - BMC Public Health Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712458 AB - Background: Brucellosis is considered as endemic zoonotic disease in the country of Georgia. However, the burden of the disease on a household level is not known. Therefore, this study sought to determine the benefits of active surveillance coupled to serological screening for the early detection of brucellosis among close contacts of brucellosis cases. Methods: We used an active surveillance approach to estimate the rate of seropositivity among household family members and neighboring community members of brucellosis index cases. All participants were screened using the serum tube agglutination test (SAT). Blood cultures were performed, obtained isolates were identified by a bacteriological algorithm, and confirmed as Brucella spp. using real-time PCR. Further confirmation of Brucella species was done using the AMOS PCR assay. Results: A total of 141 participants enrolled. Of these, 27 were brucellosis index cases, 86 were household family members, and 28 were neighboring community members. The serological evidence of brucellosis in the household member group was 7% and the rate at the household level was 21%. No screened community members were Brucella seropositive. Majority of brucellosis cases were caused by B. melitensis; only one index case was linked to B. abortus. Conclusion: We found evidence of brucellosis infection among household family members of brucellosis index cases. B. melitensis was the most common species obtained. Findings of this active surveillance study highlight the importance of screening household family members of brucellosis cases and of the use of culture methods to identify Brucella species in the country of Georgia.

Crystalline PTO seed layers were first prepared via a 2-methoxyethanol route. Amorphous PZT with a Zr/Ti ratio of 52/48 was then deposited on the seed layer using the same synthesis route and subsequently crystallized in situ during XRD. During heating, a tetragonal-to-cubic transformation of the seed layer occurs prior to the formation of perovskite PZT. Subsequent nucleation of the crystalline PZT occurs in the cubic phase. Simultaneous to nucleation of PZT, development of a dominant 100 texture component was observed in the PZT phase of the thin films. The results indicate that 100 textured PTO nucleates 100 texture of PZT thin films during crystallization.

In this paper, we examine the role of the extrinsic point defects including surface adatoms in modifying the electronic properties of phosphorene using density functional theory. The surface adatoms considered are B, C, N, O, and F with a [He] core electronic configuration. Our calculations show that B and C, with electronegativity close to P, prefer to break the sp3 bonds of phosphorene and reside at the interstitial sites in the 2D lattice by forming sp2 like bonds with the native atoms. On the other hand, N, O, and F, which are more electronegative than P, prefer the surface sites by attracting the lone pairs of phosphorene. B, N, and F adsorption will also introduce local magnetic moment to the lattice. Moreover, B, C, N, and F adatoms will modify the band gap of phosphorene, yielding metallic transverse tunneling characters. Oxygen does not modify the band gap of phosphorene, and a diode like tunneling behavior is observed. Our results therefore offer a possible route to tailor the electronic and magnetic properties of phosphorene by the adatom functionalization and provide the physical insights of the environmental sensitivity of phosphorene, which will be helpful to experimentalists in evaluating the performance and aging effects of phosphorene-based electronic devices.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2015/04/06/ VL - 106 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 4 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - A three-state magnetic memory was developed based on differences in the magnetic permeability of a soft ferromagnetic media, Metglas 2826MB (Fe40Ni38Mo4B18). By heating bits of a 250 nm thick Metglas film with 70-100 mW of laser power, we were able to tune the local microstructure, and hence, the permeability. Ternary memory states were created by using lower laser power to enhance the initial permeability through localized atomic rearrangement and higher power to reduce the permeability through crystallization. The permeability of the bits was read by detecting variations in an external 32 Oe probe field within 10 µm of the media via a magnetic tunnel junction read head. Compared to data based on remanent magnetization, these multi-permeability bits have enhanced insensitivity to unexpected field and temperature changes. We found that data was not corrupted after exposure to fields of 1 T or temperatures of 423 K, indicating the effectiveness of this multi-state approach for safely storing large amounts of data.

In 2008, we reintroduced a common nongame species, blacknose dace (Rhinichthys atratulus), into a previously acidified headwater stream, Mountain Run, in Rockingham County, Virginia. Acidic conditions extirpated species from Mountain Run's headwaters by the 1970s, and brook trout reintroductions subsequent to acid mitigation were highly successful; however, attempts to reintroduce blacknose dace alongside brook trout in 1994'1995 were unsuccessful. In 2008, we collected 1,500 blacknose dace from approximately two kilometers (km) downstream of our study reach and released fish at three locations within our 1.45 km study reach. Fish were marked prior to release and recaptured via backpack electrofishing one month and twelve months post transplant to enumerate fish and document dispersal from release sites and spawning success. Blacknose dace dispersed up to 680 meters downstream from release sites one month post transplant. In 2009, one young-of- year and thirty-three adults were collected. Our effort was mildly successful, but we recommend greater attention to existing physicochemical habitat and food sources and establishing a long-term monitoring protocol prior to expending resources on a reintroduction effort.

A single exposure to blast overpressure ( BOP) has been shown to cause damage to the eye in animal models; however, on the battlefield, military personnel are exposed to BOP multiple times. The effects of repeated exposures to BOP on ocular tissues have not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to characterize the effects of single or repeated exposure on ocular tissues. Methods A compressed air shock tube was used to deliver 70 ± 7 KPa BOP to rats, once (single blast overpressure [ SBOP]) or once daily for 5 days (repeated blast overpressure [ RBOP]). Immunohistochemistry was performed to characterize the pathophysiology of ocular injuries induced by SBOP and RBOP. Apoptosis was determined by quantification activated caspase 3. Gliosis was examined by detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP). Inflammation was examined by detection of CD68. Results Activated caspase 3 was detected in ocular tissues from all animals subjected to BOP, while those exposed to RBOP had more activated caspase 3 in the optic nerve than those exposed to SBOP. GFAP was detected in the retinas from all animals subjected to BOP. CD68 was detected in optic nerves from all animals exposed to BOP. Conclusion SBOP and RBOP induced retinal damage. RBOP caused more apoptosis in the optic nerve than SBOP, suggesting that RBOP causes more severe optic neuropathy than SBOP. SBOP and RBOP caused gliosis in the retina and increased inflammation in the optic nerve.

While studies have examined individual cases, this article seeks to establish the historical context of the early Cold War that set the framework for this intelligence exploitation. It also weighs the intelligence value of the Army's Nazi informants and reviews recruitment by other American and Allied intelligence services. Finally, it discusses the challenges of using ethical guidelines in recruiting secret agents, during the early Cold War and beyond.

The non-neutralizing role of antibodies in stimulating effector cell responses may have been a key mechanism of the protection observed in the RV144 HIV vaccine trial. In an extensive investigation of a rich set of data collected from RV144 vaccine recipients, we here employ machine learning methods to identify and model associations between antibody features (IgG subclass and antigen specificity) and effector function activities (antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis, cellular cytotoxicity, and cytokine release). We demonstrate via cross-validation that classification and regression approaches can effectively use the antibody features to robustly predict qualitative and quantitative functional outcomes. This integration of antibody feature and function data within a machine learning framework provides a new, objective approach to discovering and assessing multivariate immune correlates.

By using a three-dimensional analysis of the ideological makeup of the Knesset, based on the ideological manifestos of the parties, the socio-demographic profiles of Knesset members and analyses of election results utilizing electoral data and socio-demographic data obtained from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), the article claims that the 19th Knesset is no less right-leaning than its predecessor. Hence, contrary to some commentators in both the media and academia, the 2013 elections represent a true landmark for the settlers. For the first time since the movement appeared in the 1970s, it managed to obtain a solid base in the Knesset.

Clinical management of injuries resulting from nerve agents provides different challenges for first responders than those of conventional weapons. We evaluated the impact of a mixed-methods training program on competency acquisition in cholinergic crisis clinical management using multimedia with either live animal or patient actor examples, and hands-on practice using SimMan3G mannequin simulators. A purposively selected sample of 204 civilian and military first responders who had not previously completed nerve agent training were assessed pre- and post-training for knowledge, performance, self-efficacy, and affective state. We conducted analysis of variance with repeated measures; statistical significance p < 0.05. Both groups had significant performance improvement across all assessment dimensions: knowledge > 20%, performance > 50%, self-efficacy > 34%, and affective state > 15%. There were no significant differences between the live animal and patient actor groups. These findings could aid in the specification of training for first-responder personnel in military and civilian service. Although less comprehensive than U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense courses, the training outcomes associated with this easily distributed program demonstrate its value in increasing the competency of first responders in recognizing and managing a mass casualty cholinergic event.

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences collaborated with the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute to conduct a descriptive and qualitative analysis of global health engagements (GHEs) contained in the Stability Operations Lessons Learned and Information Management System (SOLLIMS). This study used a summative qualitative content analysis approach involving six steps: (1) a comprehensive search; (2) two-stage reading and screening process to identify first-hand, health-related records; (3) qualitative and quantitative data analysis using MAXQDA, a software program; (4) a word cloud to illustrate word frequencies and interrelationships; (5) coding of individual themes and validation of the coding scheme; and (6) identification of relationships in the data and overarching lessons-learned. The individual codes with the most number of text segments coded included: planning, personnel, interorganizational coordination, communication/information sharing, and resources/supplies. When compared to the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) evolving GHE principles and capabilities, the SOLLIMS coding scheme appeared to align well with the list of GHE capabilities developed by the Department of Defense Global Health Working Group. The results of this study will inform practitioners of global health and encourage additional qualitative analysis of other lessons-learned databases.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 58 IS - 2 M3 - journal article SP - 301 EP - 321 PB - Sage Publications Inc. SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: We investigated how increases in task-relevant information affect human decision-making performance, situation awareness (SA), and trust in a simulated command-and-control (C2) environment.Background: Increased information is often associated with an improvement of SA and decision-making performance in networked organizations. However, previous research suggests that increasing information without considering the task relevance and the presentation can impair performance.Method: We used a simulated C2 task across two experiments. Experiment 1 varied the information volume provided to individual participants and measured the speed and accuracy of decision making for task performance. Experiment 2 varied information volume and information reliability provided to two participants acting in different roles and assessed decision-making performance, SA, and trust between the paired participants.Results: In both experiments, increased task-relevant information volume did not improve task performance. In Experiment 2, increased task-relevant information volume reduced self-reported SA and trust, and incorrect source reliability information led to poorer task performance and SA.Conclusion: These results indicate that increasing the volume of information, even when it is accurate and task relevant, is not necessarily beneficial to decision-making performance. Moreover, it may even be detrimental to SA and trust among team members.Application: Given the high volume of available and shared information and the safety-critical and time-sensitive nature of many decisions, these results have implications for training and system design in C2 domains. To avoid decrements to SA, interpersonal trust, and decision-making performance, information presentation within C2 systems must reflect human cognitive processing limits and capabilities.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 32 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 295 EP - 308 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 15351459 AB - The Upper Mississippi River (UMR) has been developed and subsequently managed for commercial navigation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The navigation pools created by a series of lock and dams initially provided a complex of aquatic habitats that supported a variety of fish and wildlife. However, biological productivity declined as the pools aged. The River Resources Forum, an advisory body to the St. Paul District of the USACE, established a multiagency Water Level Management Task Force (WLMTF) to evaluate the potential of water level management to improve ecological function and restore the distribution and abundance of fish and wildlife habitat. The WLMTF identified several water level management options and concluded that summer growing season drawdowns at the pool scale offered the greatest potential to provide habitat benefits over a large area. Here we summarize the process followed to plan and implement pool-wide drawdowns on the UMR, including involvement of stakeholders in decision making, addressing requirements to modify reservoir operating plans, development and evaluation of drawdown alternatives, pool selection, establishment of a monitoring plan, interagency coordination, and a public information campaign. Three pool-wide drawdowns were implemented within the St. Paul District and deemed successful in providing ecological benefits without adversely affecting commercial navigation and recreational use of the pools. Insights are provided based on more than 17 years of experience in planning and implementing drawdowns on the UMR. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A two-year case study was conducted in the San Antonio and Guadalupe basins during dry and wet years (2008 and 2009, respectively). This article investigates TN export in urbanized (San Antonio) vs. rural (Guadalupe) drainage basins and considers the effect of reservoirs on TN transport. Simulated TN export values are within 10 percent of measured export values for selected stations in 2008 and 2009. Results show that in both years the San Antonio basin contributed a larger quantity than the Guadalupe basin of delivered TN to the coastal ocean. The San Antonio basin is affected by urban activities including point sources, associated with the city of San Antonio, in addition to greater agricultural activities. The Guadalupe basin lacks major metropolitan areas and is dominated by rangeland, rather than fertilized agricultural fields. Both basins delivered more TN to coastal waters in 2009 than in 2008. Furthermore, TN removal in the San Antonio and Guadalupe basins is inversely related to stream orders: the higher the order the more TN delivery (or the less TN removal).

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 52 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 119 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 1093474X AB - Generally, one expects evapotranspiration (ET) maps derived from optical/thermal Landsat and MODIS satellite imagery to improve decision support tools and lead to superior decisions regarding water resources management. However, there is lack of supportive evidence to accept or reject this expectation. We 'benchmark' three existing hydrologic decision support tools with the following benchmarks: annual ET for the ET Toolbox developed by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, predicted rainfall-runoff hydrographs for the Gridded Surface/Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis model developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the average annual groundwater recharge for the Distributed Parameter Watershed Model used by Daniel B. Stephens & Associates. The conclusion of this benchmark study is that the use of NASA/USGS optical/thermal satellite imagery can considerably improve hydrologic decision support tools compared to their traditional implementations. The benefits of improved decision making, resulting from more accurate results of hydrologic support systems using optical/thermal satellite imagery, should substantially exceed the costs for acquiring such imagery and implementing the remote sensing algorithms. In fact, the value of reduced error in estimating average annual groundwater recharge in the San Gabriel Mountains, California alone, in terms of value of water, may be as large as $1 billion, more than sufficient to pay for one new Landsat satellite.

Flood is a frequent natural hazard that has significant financial consequences for Australia. The emergency response system in Australia is very successful and has saved many lives over the years. However, the preparedness for natural disaster impacts in terms of loss reduction and damage mitigation has been less successful. In this paper, a newly derived flood loss function for Australian residential structures (FLFArs/ has been presented and calibrated by using historic data collected from an extreme event in Queensland, Australia, that occurred in 2013. Afterwards, the performance of the method developed in this work (contrasted to one Australian model and one model from USA) has been compared with the observed damage data collected from a 2012 flood event in Maranoa, Queensland. Based on this analysis, validation of the selected methodologies has been performed in terms of Australian geographical conditions. Results obtained from the new empirically based function (FLFArs/ and the other models indicate that it is apparent that the precision of flood damage models is strongly dependent on selected stage damage curves, and flood damage estimation without model calibration might result in inaccurate predictions of losses. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of the associated uncertainties in flood risk assessment, especially if models have not been calibrated with real damage data.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 149 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 67 EP - 88 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Toxic industrial chemicals induce liver injury, which is difficult to diagnose without invasive procedures. Identifying indicators of end organ injury can complement exposure-based assays and improve predictive power. A multiplexed approach was used to experimentally evaluate a panel of 67 genes predicted to be associated with the fibrosis pathology by computationally mining DrugMatrix, a publicly available repository of gene microarray data. Five-day oral gavage studies in male Sprague-Dawley rats dosed with varying concentrations of three fibrogenic compounds (allyl alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, and 4,4'-methylenedianiline) and two non-fibrogenic compounds (bromobenzene and dexamethasone) were conducted. Fibrosis was definitively diagnosed by histopathology. The 67-plex gene panel accurately diagnosed fibrosis in both microarray and multiplexed-gene expression assays. Necrosis and inflammatory infiltration were comorbid with fibrosis. ANOVA with contrasts identified that 51 of the 67 predicted genes were significantly associated with the fibrosis phenotype, with 24 of these specific to fibrosis alone. The protein product of the gene most strongly correlated with the fibrosis phenotype (Pcolce) was dose-dependently elevated in plasma from animals administered fibrogenic chemicals (p<0.05). Semi-quantitative global mass spectrometry analysis of the plasma identified an additional 5 protein products of the gene panel which increased after fibrogenic toxicant administration: fibronectin, ceruloplasmin, vitronectin, insulin-like growth factor binding protein, and α2-macroglobulin. These results support the data mining approach for identifying gene and/or protein panels for assessing liver injury and may suggest bridging biomarkers for molecular mediators linked to histopathology.

Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) is an invasive aquatic plant that exhibits rapid growth and may contribute to low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations (hypoxia, DO < 2.0 mg/L) during warm summer months. DO dynamics were evaluated at a range of spatial and temporal scales in three habitat types: open water, edge of hydrilla beds, and the dense interior of a hydrilla bed at two Florida lakes. Results showed that habitat type, month, and depth all significantly influenced DO, and 100% of the water column was hypoxic in late summer in the small lake. However, hydrilla biomass (kg/m2) was much less and no hypoxia was detected in the larger lake, suggesting that lake morphology and size may influence the abundance and impacts of hydrilla on DO. Additionally, hypoxia in edge habitat indicates that increasing ecotone may not greatly influence DO concentrations unless substantial open water area adjacent to dense beds is maintained for adequate water cycling. Our results indicated that complete water column hypoxia occurred in one of our two sample lakes and only during late summer; thus, investigations of hypoxia should consider small spatial and temporal scales.

Ecological needs for freshwater are often described in terms of environmental flow recommendations (e.g., minimum flows), and there are many techniques for developing these recommendations, which range from hydrologic rules to multidisciplinary analyses supported by large teams of subject matter experts. Although hydrologic rules are well acknowledged as overly simplified, these techniques remain the state-of-the-practice in many locations. This article seeks to add complexity to the application of these techniques by studying the emergent properties of hydrologic environmental flow methodologies. Two hydrologic rules are applied: minimum flow criteria and sustainability boundaries. Objectives and metrics associated with withdrawal rate and similarity to natural flow regimes are used to tradeoff economic and environmental needs, respectively, over a range of flow thresholds and value judgments. A case study of hypothetical water withdrawals on the Middle Oconee River near Athens, Georgia is applied to demonstrate these techniques. For this case study, sustainability boundaries emerge as preferable relative to both environmental and economic outcomes. Methods applied here provide a mechanism for examining the role of stakeholder values and tradeoffs in application of hydrologic rules for environmental flows.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: This study assessed listeners' ability to localize spatially differentiated virtual audio signals delivered by bone conduction (BC) vibrators and circumaural air conduction (AC) headphones.Background: Although the skull offers little intracranial sound wave attenuation, previous studies have demonstrated listeners' ability to localize auditory signals delivered by a pair of BC vibrators coupled to the mandibular condyle bones. The current study extended this research to other BC vibrator locations on the skull.Method: Each participant listened to virtual audio signals originating from 16 different horizontal locations using circumaural headphones or BC vibrators placed in front of, above, or behind the listener's ears. The listener's task was to indicate the signal's perceived direction of origin.Results: Localization accuracy with the BC front and BC top positions was comparable to that with the headphones, but responses for the BC back position were less accurate than both the headphones and BC front position.Conclusion: This study supports the conclusion of previous studies that listeners can localize virtual 3D signals equally well using AC and BC transducers. Based on these results, it is apparent that BC devices could be substituted for AC headphones with little to no localization performance degradation.Application: BC headphones can be used when spatial auditory information needs to be delivered without occluding the ears. Although vibrator placement in front of the ears appears optimal from the localization standpoint, the top or back position may be acceptable from an operational standpoint or if the BC system is integrated into headgear.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 35 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 511 EP - 520 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 21945403 AB - A cumulative effect analysis (CEA) is a tool that can be utilized for the review of multiple anthropogenic projects or activities for the purposes of planning, regulation, conservation, or the general evaluation of environmental health. Such an assessment is problematic because spatially consistent and temporally repeated data informing the condition of a location are often not available. When such data can be identified, the potential response of that resource to additional impacts may be unpredictable. Despite these limitations, in many cases, it may be critical to identify those locations for further scrutiny which may be vulnerable to collective impacts from development or other environmental challenges. Here, we present an approach which considers the vulnerability of aquatic resources in relation to the anticipated effects of development-related activities that could be used to identify locations where the potential for cumulative effects is the greatest. This application considers CEA in the context of identifying where development-related activities of minimal impact may be viewed as relatively more substantial when viewed cumulatively. We identify HUC 8-level watersheds where the current resource condition and anticipated development-related activities may have greater potential to result in an impact on watershed condition (i.e., water quality, water quantity, and habitat value). The vulnerability of the watershed was estimated from the number, type, and location of a specific suite of reported activities. The existing condition of the watershed was measured as a function of existing assessments of resource conditions. The relationship between the vulnerability and the existing watershed condition was used to project future conditions and to identify watersheds that warrant further scrutiny. This is a unique approach to CEA which allows for transparent, repeatable identification of watersheds which may be adversely impacted by further activities or projects.

For the agricultural United States Midwest, too much or too little water has severe socioeconomic impacts. Here, we focus on the Raccoon River at Van Meter, Iowa, and use a statistical approach to examine projected changes in discharge. We build on statistical models using rainfall and harvested corn and soybean acreage to explain the observed discharge variability. We then use projections of these two predictors to examine the projected discharge response. Results are based on seven global climate models part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 and two representative concentration pathways ( RCPs 4.5 and 8.5). There is not a strong signal of change in the discharge projections under the RCP 4.5. However, the results for the RCP 8.5 point to a stronger changing signal related to larger projected increases in rainfall, resulting in increased trends, in particular, in the upper part of the discharge distribution (i.e., 60th percentile and above). Examination of two hypothetical agricultural scenarios indicates that these increasing trends could be alleviated by decreasing the extent of the agricultural production. We also discuss how the methodology presented in this study represents a viable approach to move forward with the concept of return period for engineering design and management in a nonstationary world.

The present physical model study explored the performance of a spillway structure on the Kissimmee River, operated by the South Florida Water Management District, under extreme conditions of drought and flooding with accompanying low and high tailwater levels for both gate-controlled and uncontrolled spillway flow conditions. Maximum scour depths and their locations for two different riprap apron lengths downstream of the spillway stilling basin were measured along with the complex flow fields prior to scour. Effects of tailwater submergence, type of spillway flow and riprap apron length on scour results are interpreted in terms of the measured turbulent kinetic energy and velocity distributions near the bed.

JO - Adaptation JF - Adaptation Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 8 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 330 EP - 344 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 17550637 AB - Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon is regarded as one of the most aesthetically beautiful films of all time, though its painterly cinematography is counterbalanced by the harshness, coldness, and melancholy of the onscreen narrative. This divergence is evocative of traditional narratological debates over the reliability of narrators: a narrator's unreliability is typically measured by his concurrence or divergence with the implied author. Such debates are essential to any discussion of Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and its literary source, William Makepeace Thackeray's The Luck of Barry Lyndon: while Thackeray's Barry epitomises the traits of the unreliable narrator, Kubrick's third-person narrator has proved a controversial figure, with numerous scholars debating his reliability based on his concurrence (or conflict) with the onscreen narrative. This paper argues that the fundamental reliability of Kubrick's narrator is not simply based on his relationship with the visual narrative, but also on his serving as a manifestation of the voice of the novel's implied author. This convergence between the authorial voices of Kubrick and Thackeray through the voice-over narration ultimately supports the onscreen narrator's assessment of Barry's rise and fall but simultaneously promotes sympathy for both incarnations of Redmond Barry.

The road is approximately eight kilometers from the FOB and there are no U.S. or coalition soldiers nearby. The soldier notifies his commander, who calls for an attack helicopter. By the time the helicopter arrives, the man has finished emplacing the IED. has mounted his motorcycle, and has traveled three kilometers from the IED site. His actions and movements have been tracked the entire time on camera. The helicopter pilot informs the commander that although there are no collateral damage concerns in the area, the man bears no visible weapons and does not appear to be doing anything threatening.

On casual inspection, this simple matter of removing or excising a specific amount of central corneal avascular tissue is a smooth, seamless alteration with few apparent secondary issues or sequelae. Normal postoperative recovery is typically gauged by the recovery of high-contrast visual acuity to the same (or better) degree as was previously obtained with a spectacle correction. However, although this is an acceptable means of determining operative success, it is not indicative of the complex challenges imposed upon the neurosensory system. The secondarily imposed strain upon the visual system, regarding the return to its pre-existing visual line-of-sight organization occurs only by bringing multiple adaptations into subtle and seamless play. This process is initiated and completed in a relatively short time period, such that most patients (but not all) are not even marginally aware of the challenges imposed to the visual system. This article is meant to probe those system challenges, serving to highlight this postoperative plasticity, seeking to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the perceptual range of the visual recovery process.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 80 EP - 85 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: Ibuprofen is commonly used by Soldiers in the deployed environment. This study investigated its dose-effects on in vitro coagulation. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 4 normal healthy pigs and were processed to make platelet-adjusted (100 x 103/µL) blood samples. Ibuprofen was added to the samples at doses of 0 µg/mL (control), recommended oral dose (163 µg/mL, lx), 2 x , 4 x , 8 x , 1 0 x , 1 2 x , 1 6 x , and 20 x . Arachidonic acid or collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was assessed at 15 minutes after the addition of ibuprofen. Coagulation was assessed with measurements of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and thrombelastography by Rotem. Results: A robust inhibition of ibuprofen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed at all doses tested. Collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was inhibited to 71% ± 5% and 10% ± 5% of the control values at ibuprofen doses of 4 x and 20 x , respectively (both p < 0.05). No changes were observed in PT at any dose, but aPTT was prolonged at dose of 16 x and 20 x . Rotem measurements of coagulation time, clot formation time, maximum clot firmness, and A10 were compromised at dose 16 x and 20 x (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Ibuprofen inhibited platelet aggregation at recommended doses, but did not compromise aPTT or coagulation profile until at 16 times the recommended doses and higher. Further effort is needed to clarify whether there are different dose-responses between human and pig blood samples in trauma situations.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 33 EP - 36 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Appropriate indications for resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) in an austere environment continue to evolve; the aim of this study was to determine survival and to analyze demographics of survivors within U.S. military personnel undergoing RT. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all U.S. soldiers who underwent thoracotomy in theater during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After individualized review, patients in extremis or who lost pulses and had their thoracotomy performed within 10 minutes of arrival to the emergency department were included. The primary outcome was survival at final hospital discharge, and secondary outcomes included demographics associated with survival. Results: Between January 2003 and May 2010, 81 U.S. military personnel met inclusion criteria for RT in theater. As low as 6.7% (3/45) of patients receiving prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation were alive at final hospital discharge. Survival from RT after explosive/ blast injury, penetrating (gunshot wound), and blunt trauma were 16.3% (8/49), 0% (0/28), and 0% (0/4), respectively. Patients with primary explosive/blast extremity trauma undergoing RT had a survival of 27.3% (6/22). Higher initial oxygen saturations, larger volume of crystalloids and blood products infused, and higher extremity abbreviated injury score were all associated with survival. Conclusions: Combat casualties who present pulseless or in extremis who were injured as a result of an explosive/blast injury mechanism resulting in a primary extremity injury may have a survival benefit from undergoing a RT in an austere environment.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 32 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Selective nonoperative management of combat-related blunt splenic injury (BSI) is controversial. We evaluated the impact of the November 2008 blunt abdominal trauma clinical practice guideline that permitted selective nonoperative management of some patients with radiological suggestion of hemoperitoneum on implementation of nonoperative management (NOM) of splenic injury in austere environments. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of patients with splenic injuries from November 2002 through January 2012 in Iraq and Afghanistan was performed. International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification procedure codes identified patients as laparotomy with splenectomy, or NOM. Delayed operative management had no operative intervention at earlier North American Treaty Organization (NATO) medical treatment facilities (MTFs), and had a definitive intervention at a latter NATO MTFs. Intra-abdominal complications and overall mortality were juxtaposed. Results: A total of 433 patients had splenic injuries from 2002 to 2012. Initial NOM of BSI from 2002 to 2008 compared to 2009-2012 was 44.1% and 47.2%, respectively (p = 0.75). Delayed operative management and NOM completion had intra-abdominal complication and mortality rates of 38.1% and 9.1% (p < 0.01), and 6.3% and 8.1% ( p = 0.77). Conclusions: Despite high-energy explosive injuries, NATO Role II MTFs radiological constraints and limited medical resources, hemodynamically normal patients with BSI and low abdominal abbreviated injury scores underwent NOM in austere environments.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 23 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) simulates hemorrhage, and tolerance to LBNP (time to presyncope [TTP]) is indicative of tolerance to blood loss. The purpose of this study was to predict TTP based on demographic characteristics (sex, age, height, and body mass index) and physiological variables (heart rate [HR], systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure [DAP], pulse pressure, stroke volume, total peripheral resistance [TPR], and baroreflex sensitivity [BRS]) at baseline, and during 2 levels of LBNP (-15, -30 mm Hg). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to create a model to predict TTP (range: 670 to 2516 seconds, n = 187) based on demographic characteristics and physiological variables changes (Δ) from baseline to -30 mm Hg LBNP. The prediction model revealed that TTP (seconds) = 1667.5 + (5.1 x Age) + (61.1 x Sex) -- (21.5 x ΔHR) + (55.3 x ADAP) -- (88.2 x ΔTPR) -- (4.9 x ΔBRS). Most significantly, our analysis demonstrated a lesser survival trajectory for females given the same rate and magnitude of hemorrhage compared to males. Young age and female sex are predictors of low tolerance to blood loss, and should be considered for early triage in the prehospital setting.

T1 - Prehospital and En Route Analgesic Use in the Combat Setting: A Prospectively Designed, Multicenter, Observational Study. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 18 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Combat injuries result in acute, severe pain. Early use of analgesia after injury is known to be beneficial. Studies on prehospital analgesia in combat are limited and no prospectively designed study has reported the use of analgesics in the prehospital and en route care setting. Our objective was to describe the current use of prehospital analgesia in the combat setting. Methods: This prospectively designed, multicenter, observational, prehospital combat study was undertaken at medical treatment facilities (MTF) in Afghanistan between October 2012 and September 2013. It formed part of a larger study aimed at describing the use of lifesaving interventions in combat. On arrival at the MTF, trained on-site investigators enrolled eligible patients and completed standardized data capture forms, which included the name, dose, and route of administration of all prehospital analgesics, and the type of provider who administered the drug. Physiological data were retrospectively ascribed as soon as practicable. The study was prospectively approved by the Brooke Army Medical Center institutional review board. Results: Data were collected on 228 patients, with 305 analgesia administrations recorded. The predominant mechanism of injury was blast (50%), followed by penetrating (41%), and blunt (9%). The most common analgesic used was ketamine, followed by morphine. A combination of analgesics was given to 29% of patients; the most common combination was ketamine and morphine. Intravenous delivery was the most commonly used route (55%). Patients transported by the UK Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) or U.S. Air Medical Evacuation (Dust-off) team were more likely to receive ketamine than those evacuated by U.S. Pararescue Jumpers (Pedro). Patients transported by Medical Emergency Response Team or Pedro were more likely to receive more than 1 drug. Patients who received only ketamine had a higher pulse rate (p < 0.005) and lower systolic blood pressure (p = 0.01) than other groups, and patients that received hydromorphone had a lower respiratory rate (p = 0.04). Conclusions: In our prospectively designed, multicenter, observational, prehospital combat study, ketamine was the most commonly used analgesic drug. The most frequently observed combination of drugs was ketamine and morphine. The intravenous route was used for 55% of drug administrations.

In 2010, SharePoint, a web-based tool, was established to track study documents. This study conducted by JC2RT no. 13 describes characteristics of research studies under the purview of the JC2RT from 2010 through 2012. Of the 83 research studies reviewed, 34% were completed, 32% were not completed, and 34% were still in progress. Target sample sizes ranged from 12 to 70,000, with 96% of the research studying U.S. military members. The design of 61% of the studies was prospective, 20% surveys, and 14% retrospective reviews. Approximately one-half of the studies were conducted at single sites. Eighty-four percent of the studies that finished an institutional review board (IRB) were completed, whereas a large number of studies never made it to IRB approval. Even after studies have gone through the rigorous process of scientific review and IRB approval some continue to struggle for years to be completed in the theater of operations. The JC2RT is committed to helping facilitate the ethical conduct of research during war.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 23 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 157 EP - 166 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - Upper Mississippi River Restoration ( UMRR) was implemented to monitor environmental status and trends and restore degraded habitat. There was little experience conducting restoration in large rivers, and engineering and ecological integration evolved through project implementation. Loss of depth in backwaters and side channels, excessive biological oxygen demand, increased currents, and low water temperatures were common symptoms of backwater eutrophication that were primary objectives for implementing UMRR. Biological outcome monitoring was initially funded for six projects using the most common methods to restore aquatic and wetland habitat. UMRR island construction occurred as four generations of learning. Current plans represent a comprehensive restoration approach including: physical process modeling (i.e. hydraulic and wind-wave modeling) of existing conditions and alternative restoration measures. Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement Projects, fish response monitoring validated winter habitat suitability models. Long term fish population monitoring indicates sustainable recovery, and now population interaction among restored lakes is under investigation. Isolated wetland management in Illinois River backwater lakes can achieve bottom consolidation that promotes emergent wetland habitat response that migratory waterfowl exploit in large numbers. Adult fish movement between the river and management units is restricted to flood stage or through control structures and post-project movements into the lake for overwintering were not apparent. The lack of Illinois River overwintering habitat is shown by an abundance of young fish and few older fish in status and trends monitoring. Upper Mississippi River System ecosystem restoration practitioners have implemented ecosystem restoration science and practice in a manner that exemplifies the best intent of adaptive management.

JO - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development JF - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 52 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 273 EP - 290 PB - VA Prosthetics Research & Development Center SN - 07487711 AB - The purpose of this study was to determine whether repetitive exposure to low-level blasts during military breacher training produces acute and cumulative damage to the ocular tissues or visual system. The effects of low-level blast exposure on high-contrast visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, oculomotor function, color vision, visual field (VF), pupillary light reflex, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cup-to-disc ratio were assessed using a battery of standard clinical ophthalmic tests administered 10 times over a 2-year period. Data from nine male breacher instructors (Cadre) were compared with data from four male breacher engineers (Control). The Cadre group showed higher vertical deviation at near than the Control group over time. The VF mean deviation on the left eye tended to be worse in the Cadre group throughout the study, suggesting a decrease in VF sensitivity (Cadre: -0.20 +/- 0.15 dB; Control: 1.05 +/- 0.15 dB; p = 0.03). The Cadre group had a reduced ECD (right eye: Cadre 2,478 cells/mm² vs Control 2,808 cells/ mm², p = 0.02; left eye: Cadre 2,562 cells/mm² vs Control 2,892 cells/mm², p = 0.03). These results suggest that even low-level primary blast has the potential to produce occult eye injury.

JO - Canadian Journal of Forest Research JF - Canadian Journal of Forest Research Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 45 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 325 EP - 342 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00455067 AB - As concerns rise over potential effects of greenhouse gas related climate change on terrestrial ecosystems, forest managers require growth and yield modeling capabilities responsive to changing climate conditions. Our goal was to develop prediction models of site index for eastern US forest tree species with climate and soil properties as predictors for use in predicting potential responses of forest productivity to climate change. Species-specific site index data from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program were linked to contemporary climate data and soil properties mapped in the USDA Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database. Random forest regression tree based ensemble prediction models of site index were constructed based on 37 climate-related and 15 soil attributes. In addition to a species-specific site index, aggregate models were developed for species grouped into two broad categories: conifer (softwood) and hardwood (broadleaved) species groups. Species-specific models based on climate and soil predictors explained the most variation in site index of any models tested ( R2 = 62.5%, RMSE = 3.2 m). Comparable results were found when grouping species into conifer and hardwood groups ( R2 = 63.9%, RMSE = 4.6 m for conifers; R2 = 35.9%, RMSE = 4.2 m for hardwoods). Model predictions based on multiple global circulation models (GCMs) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) development scenarios were tested for statistical significance using bootstrap resampling methods. Results showed significant increases over the 21st century in mean site index for conifers between +0.5 and +2.4 m. Over the same time period, mean hardwood site index showed decreases of as much as −1.7 m for the scenarios tested. The results demonstrate the utility of using climate and soils data in predicting site index across a large geographic region, and the potential of climate change to alter forest productivity in the eastern US. Additional investigation is needed to interpret spatial patterns and ecological relationships related to predictions from this type of model.

Notre but était de mettre au point des modèles de prévision de l'indice de qualité de station pour les espèces d'arbre des forêts de l'est des États-Unis avec le climat et les propriétés du sol comme variables de prédiction pour prévoir les réactions potentielles de la production forestière face aux changements climatiques. Les données d'indice de qualité de station de chaque espèce provenant du programme d'analyse et d'inventaire forestier de l'USDA Forest Service ont été jumelées aux données du climat contemporain et aux propriétés du sol cartographiées dans la base de données SSURGO de l'inventaire géographique des sols de l'USDA. Des modèles d'ensemble de forêts aléatoires fondés sur des arbres de régression ont été construits à l'aide de 37 attributs reliés au climat et 15 attributs reliés au sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station. En plus de l'indice de qualité de station pour chaque espèce, des modèles globaux ont été mis au point pour deux grandes catégories d'espèces, les conifères et les feuillus. Parmi les modèles testés, les modèles pour chaque espèce fondés sur les prédicteurs du climat et du sol ont expliqué la plus grande partie de la variation de l'indice de qualité de station ( R2 = 62,5 %, EMQ = 3,2 m). Des résultats comparables ont été obtenus lorsque les espèces étaient regroupées en conifères ou feuillus ( R2 = 63,9 %, EMQ = 4,6 m pour les conifères; R2 = 35,9 %, EMQ = 4,2 m pour les feuillus). La signification statistique des prévisions des modèles basés sur les modèles de circulation globale multiple et les scénarios du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat a été testée à l'aide de méthodes de rééchantillonnage avec autoamorçage. Selon les résultats, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des conifères connaîtrait au cours du 21e siècle des augmentations significatives variant de 0,5 à 2,4 m. Pendant la même période, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des feuillus subirait une diminution pouvant aller jusqu'à 1,7 m selon les scénarios testés. Les résultats démontrent l'utilité d'utiliser des données sur le climat et le sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station dans une grande région géographique et le potentiel des changements climatiques pour modifier la productivité des forêts de l'est des États-Unis. Des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour interpréter les patrons spatiaux et les relations écologiques associés aux prévisions de ce type de modèle.

JO - PLoS Computational Biology JF - PLoS Computational Biology Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 11 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 28 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 1553734X AB - Burkholderia pathogenicity relies on protein virulence factors to control and promote bacterial internalization, survival, and replication within eukaryotic host cells. We recently used yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening to identify a small set of novel Burkholderia proteins that were shown to attenuate disease progression in an aerosol infection animal model using the virulent Burkholderia mallei ATCC 23344 strain. Here, we performed an extended analysis of primarily nine B. mallei virulence factors and their interactions with human proteins to map out how the bacteria can influence and alter host processes and pathways. Specifically, we employed topological analyses to assess the connectivity patterns of targeted host proteins, identify modules of pathogen-interacting host proteins linked to processes promoting infectivity, and evaluate the effect of crosstalk among the identified host protein modules. Overall, our analysis showed that the targeted host proteins generally had a large number of interacting partners and interacted with other host proteins that were also targeted by B. mallei proteins. We also introduced a novel Host-Pathogen Interaction Alignment (HPIA) algorithm and used it to explore similarities between host-pathogen interactions of B. mallei, Yersinia pestis, and Salmonella enterica. We inferred putative roles of B. mallei proteins based on the roles of their aligned Y. pestis and S. enterica partners and showed that up to 73% of the predicted roles matched existing annotations. A key insight into Burkholderia pathogenicity derived from these analyses of Y2H host-pathogen interactions is the identification of eukaryotic-specific targeted cellular mechanisms, including the ubiquitination degradation system and the use of the focal adhesion pathway as a fulcrum for transmitting mechanical forces and regulatory signals. This provides the mechanisms to modulate and adapt the host-cell environment for the successful establishment of host infections and intracellular spread.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 180 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 276 EP - 284 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease that poses a threat to force health protection to the U.S. military. The rate of TB disease in the military is low; however, there are unique challenges for its control in this setting. As a low-risk population, TB testing in the U.S. military can be scaled back from the universal testing approach used previously. Reactivation of latent TB infection (LTBI) present at accession into service is the most important factor leading to TB disease; therefore, its diagnosis and treatment among recruits should be given a high priority. Deployment and overseas military service is an uncommon but important source of TB infection, and rigorous surveillance should be ensured. Case management of TB disease and LTBI can be improved by the use of cohort reviews at the service and installation levels and case finding and delays in the diagnosis of TB disease can be improved by education of providers, as well as increased use of molecular diagnostic tests. Program outcomes can be improved by making LTBI treatment compulsory, offering shorter treatment regimens, and increasing accountability through oversight and evaluation. The diagnosis of LTBI can be improved by implementing targeted testing in all settings and reducing confirmatory interferon-gamma release assay testing.

Women represent 15% of the Army and have higher incidence of injury than male soldiers; studies that have investigated MSIs in deployed women are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective cohort study was to investigate MSIs in women during a 9-month deployment to Afghanistan. Participants were recruited from three Brigade Combat Teams. Participants completed a demographic survey before deployment and a second survey on occupational demands and MSIs after deployment. Of the 160 women, 57 (36%) suffered 78 MSIs resulting in 1,642 days of limited duty, a median of 7 days per MSI, losing 10% of the available duty time to MSIs. Most injuries affected the knee (24%) or low back (18%). Soldiers attributed the majority of injuries (27%) to physical training and trips/falls (17%). Of the MSIs, 93% caused limitations to physical training and 76% resulted in large limitations to occupational tasks. Most MSIs (41%) resolved within 3 weeks and most (37%) occurred before the fourth month of deployment. Prevention measures should target knee and low back injuries. Physical training should be further investigated to discover modifications capable of reducing injuries.

This article describes the Military Family Fitness Model (MFFM), a comprehensive model aimed at enhancing family fitness and resilience across the life span. This model is intended for use by Service members, their families, leaders, and health care providers but also has broader applications for all families. The MFFM has three core components: (1) family demands, (2) resources (including individual resources, family resources, and external resources), and (3) family outcomes (including related metrics). The MFFM proposes that resources from the individual, family, and external areas promote fitness, bolster resilience, and foster well-being for the family. The MFFM highlights each resource level for the purpose of improving family fitness and resilience over time. The MFFM both builds on existing family strengths and encourages the development of new family strengths through resource-acquiring behaviors. The purpose of this article is to (1) expand the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) intent as it relates to families and (2) offer a family fitness model. This article will summarize relevant evidence, provide supportive theory, describe the model, and proffer metrics that support the dimensions of this model.

The apparatus uses wireless network technology to bridge the gap between a dynamic (moving) sample frame and the static laboratory frame. Our design is a custom solution applied to samples that rotate through large angular displacements where hard-wired and typical slip-ring solutions are not practical because of noise considerations. The apparatus consists of a Raspberry PI mini-Linux computer, an Arduino micro-controller, an Ocean Controls thermocouple multiplexer shield, and κ-type thermocouples.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 86 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00346748 AB - Explosively driven shock tubes present challenges in terms of safety concerns and expensive upkeep of test facilities but provide more realistic approximations to the air blast resulting from free-field detonations than those provided by gas-driven shock tubes. Likewise, the geometry of conical shock tubes can naturally approximate a sector cut from a spherically symmetric blast, leading to a better agreement with the blast profiles of free-field detonations when compared to those provided by shock tubes employing constant cross sections. The work presented in this article documents the design, fabrication, and testing of an explosively driven conical shock tube whose goal was to closely replicate the blast profile seen from a larger, free-field detonation. By constraining the blast through a finite area, large blasts (which can add significant damage and safety constraints) can be simulated using smaller explosive charges. The experimental data presented herein show that a close approximation to the free-field air blast profile due to a 1.5 lb charge of C4 at 76 in. can be achieved by using a 0.032 lb charge in a 76-in.-long conical shock tube (which translates to an amplification factor of nearly 50). Modeling and simulation tools were used extensively in designing this shock tube to minimize expensive fabrication costs.

A finite element model of a composite consisting of two, isotropic layers of dissimilar materials and a third, thin isotropic layer of adhesive is constructed as the representative test subject. Next, artificial damage is inserted according to systematic variations of the defect morphology parameters. A free-vibrational modal analysis simulation is executed for pristine and damaged plate conditions. Finally, resultant mode shapes and natural frequencies are extracted, compared and analyzed for trends. Though other defect types may be explored, the focus of this research is on interfacial delamination and its effects on the global, free-vibrational behavior of a composite plate. This study is part of a multi-year research effort conducted for the U.S. Army Program Executive Office - Soldier.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 24 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - For a soldier, decisions to use force can happen rapidly and sometimes lead to undesired consequences. In many of these situations, there is a rapid assessment by the shooter that recognizes a threat and responds to it with return fire. But the neural processes underlying these rapid decisions are largely unknown, especially amongst those with extensive weapons experience and expertise. In this paper, we investigate differences in weapons experts and non-experts during an incoming gunfire detection task. Specifically, we analyzed the electroencephalography (EEG) of eleven expert marksmen/soldiers and eleven non-experts while they listened to an audio scene consisting of a sequence of incoming and non-incoming gunfire events. Subjects were tasked with identifying each event as quickly as possible and committing their choice via a motor response. Contrary to our hypothesis, experts did not have significantly better behavioral performance or faster response time than novices. Rather, novices indicated trends of better behavioral performance than experts. These group differences were more dramatic in the EEG correlates of incoming gunfire detection. Using machine learning, we found condition-discriminating EEG activity among novices showing greater magnitude and covering longer periods than those found in experts. We also compared group-level source reconstruction on the maximum discriminating neural correlates and found that each group uses different neural structures to perform the task. From condition-discriminating EEG and source localization, we found that experts perceive more categorical overlap between incoming and non-incoming gunfire. Consequently, the experts did not perform as well behaviorally as the novices. We explain these unexpected group differences as a consequence of experience with gunfire not being equivalent to expertise in recognizing incoming gunfire.

However, many applications of adaptive management have been criticized for a number of shortcomings, including a limited ability to learn from actions and a lack of consideration of stakeholder objectives. To address these criticisms, we supplement existing adaptive management approaches with a decision-analytical approach that first informs the initial selection of management alternatives and then allows for periodic re-evaluation or phased implementation of management alternatives based on monitoring information and incorporation of stakeholder values. We describe the application of this enhanced adaptive management (EAM) framework to compare remedial alternatives for mercury in the South River, based on an understanding of the loading and behavior of mercury in the South River near Waynesboro, VA. The outcomes show that the ranking of remedial alternatives is influenced by uncertainty in the mercury loading model, by the relative importance placed on different criteria, and by cost estimates. The process itself demonstrates that a decision model can link project performance criteria, decision-maker preferences, environmental models, and short- and long-term monitoring information with management choices to help shape a remediation approach that provides useful information for adaptive, incremental implementation.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Invasive Asian bighead and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and H. molitrix) pose a substantial threat to North American aquatic ecosystems. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA), genetic material shed by organisms into their environment that can be detected by non-invasive sampling strategies and genetic assays, has gained recognition as a tool for tracking the invasion front of these species toward the Great Lakes. The goal of this study was to develop new species-specific conventional PCR (cPCR) and quantitative (qPCR) markers for detection of these species in North American surface waters. We first generated complete mitochondrial genome sequences from 33 bighead and 29 silver carp individuals collected throughout their introduced range. These sequences were aligned with those from other common and closely related fish species from the Illinois River watershed to identify and design new species-specific markers for the detection of bighead and silver carp DNA in environmental water samples. We then tested these genetic markers in the laboratory for species-specificity and sensitivity. Newly developed markers performed well in field trials, did not have any false positive detections, and many markers had much higher detection rates and sensitivity compared to the markers currently used in eDNA surveillance programs. We also explored the use of multiple genetic markers to determine whether it would improve detection rates, results of which showed that using multiple highly sensitive markers should maximize detection rates in environmental samples. The new markers developed in this study greatly expand the number of species-specific genetic markers available to track the invasion front of bighead and silver carp and will improve the resolution of these assays. Additionally, the use of the qPCR markers developed in this study may reduce sample processing time and cost of eDNA monitoring for these species.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 16 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent new and potentially informative diagnostic targets for disease detection and prognosis. However, little work exists documenting the effect of TRIzol, a common viral inactivation and nucleic acid extraction reagent, on miRNA purification. Here, we developed an optimized protocol for miRNA extraction from plasma samples by evaluating five different RNA extraction kits, TRIzol phase separation, purification additives, and initial plasma sample volume. This method was then used for downstream profiling of plasma miRNAs found in archived samples from one nonhuman primate (NHP) experimentally challenged with Ebola virus by the aerosol route. Results: Comparison of real-time RT-PCR results for spiked-in and endogenous miRNA sequences determined extraction efficiencies from five different RNA purification kits. These experiments showed that 50 μL plasma processed using the QIAGEN miRNeasy Mini Kit with 5 μg of glycogen as a co-precipitant yielded the highest recovery of endogenous miRNAs. Using this optimized protocol, miRNAs from archived plasma samples of one rhesus macaque challenged with aerosolized Ebola virus was profiled using a targeted real-time PCR array. A total of 519 of the 752 unique miRNAs assayed were present in the plasma samples at day 0 and day 7 (time of death) post-exposure. Statistical analyses revealed 25 sequences significantly up- or down-regulated between day 0 and day 7 post infection, validating the utility of the extraction method for plasma miRNA profiling. Conclusions: This study contributes to the knowledgebase of circulating miRNA extraction methods and expands on the potential applications of cell-free miRNA profiling for diagnostics and pathogenesis studies. Specifically, we optimized an extraction protocol for miRNAs from TRIzol-inactivated plasma samples that can be used for highly pathogenic viruses.

SN - 13675435 AB - Previously, we demonstrated triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation and the in vivo ability to catalyze esters from exogenous short chain alcohol sources in Gordonia sp. strain KTR9. In this study, we investigated the effects that putative lipase (KTR9_0186) and wax ester synthase/acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WS/DGAT; KTR9_3844) gene knockouts had on TAG accumulation. Gene disruption of KTR9_0186 resulted in a twofold increase in TAG content in nitrogen starved cells. Lipase mutants subjected to carbon starvation, following nitrogen starvation, retained 75 % more TAGs and retained pigmentation. Transcriptome expression data confirmed the deletion of KTR9_0186 and identified the up-regulation of key genes involved in fatty acid degradation, a likely compensatory mechanism for reduced TAG mobilization. In vitro assays with purified KTR9_3844 demonstrated WS/DGAT activity with short chain alcohols and C16 and C18 fatty acid Co-As. Collectively, these results indicate that Gordonia sp. KTR9 has a suitable tractable genetic background for TAG production as well as the enzymatic capacity to catalyze fatty acid esters from short chain alcohols.

Vitamin D (VITD) levels are inversely correlated with weight status in adults. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in a retrospective sample of overweight or obese Soldiers who had attended weight management classes at Fort Bliss, Texas. The study design was a cross-sectional, retrospective review of electronic outpatient medical records of 314 active duty Soldiers. The mean age of the Soldiers was 31, mean body mass index was 32, and 69% were classified as obese. Twenty-one percent of Soldiers were classified VTTD-deficient based on having serum 25-hydroxy VITD concentrations < 20 ng/mL, and 51% were classified as insufficient (20-29 ng/mL). In a multivariate logistic regression model, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic race were significant predictors of both VITD deficiency and insufficiency. The high rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in this sample of Soldiers is concerning. Given the important roles of VITD in the body, it is imperative that further study of both normal and overweight Soldiers be conducted in order to determine prevalence.

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) and vertebral column injuries (VCI) were identified using International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. In our study, spinal hospitalizations represented 8.2% of total injury admissions. Risk factors for SCI and VCI incidences were determined using Poisson regression. Lack of previous deployment experience increased risk of having SCI by 33% and VCI by 24% in Iraq (similar increases, but not statistically significant in Afghanistan). Male soldiers had 4.85 times higher risk for SCI in Iraq and 69% higher risk in Afghanistan than female soldiers. In Afghanistan, almost 60% of spinal episodes included traumatic brain injury (TBI), compared to about 40% in Iraq. In both theaters, mild TBI accounted for more than 50% of all TBI-spinal episodes. Sixteen percent of SCI inpatient episodes in Afghanistan and 13% in Iraq were associated with paralysis, with median bed days of 46 and 33 days compared to a median of 6 days in both theaters for nonparalysis spinal injuries. The mortality rate was 2.5 times lower in Afghanistan than in Iraq.

However, clinical course and discharge criteria, once hospitalized, are poorly described. We describe 30 cases of exertional rhabdomyolysis and their hospital course. Methods: Thirty hospitalized cases with ICD-9 code of 722.88 (rhabdomyolysis) as the primary diagnosis were reviewed from 2010 to 2012. We excluded those with associated trauma, toxin, and heat illnesses. Results: The average length of stay was 3.6 days (range: 1-8 days). Length of stay correlated significantly with peak creatine kinase (CK) levels. The mean admission CK was 61,391 U/L (range 697-233,180 U/L). The mean discharge CK was 23,865 U/L with a wide range (1,410-94,665 U/L). Six cases (20%) had evidence of acute kidney injury, but most had serum creatinine (Cr) <1.7 mg/dL. One had a peak Cr of 4.8 mg/dL. Higher serum Cr levels correlated significantly with lower CK levels. Twenty-nine out of 30 patients were discharged when CKs downtrended. Conclusion: Higher peak CK levels predicted longer length of stay. Higher serum Cr significantly correlated with lower CK levels. There did not appear to be any threshold CK for admission or discharge, however, all but one patient were discharged after CK downtrended.

The primary aim of this study was to determine if the number of exercises prescribed in a HEP was associated with compliance rate of Service Members (SM) in theater with a secondary aim of determining variables associated with compliance and noncompliance. Materials/Methods: Subjects were 155 deployed SM undergoing physical therapy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinical evaluation and prescription of a HEP were performed. Pathologic, demographic, and treatment data were obtained. Subjects returned to the clinic 1 week later to demonstrate their HEP. Subjects’ performance of each prescribed exercise was rated on a 12-point scale to quantify compliance. Results: 2 variables were found to be significantly associated with rate of compliance. These were the number of exercises prescribed ( p = 0.02) and if a subject left the base at least once per week ( p = 0.01). Conclusions: SM prescribed 4 or more exercises had a lower rate of compliance than those prescribed 2 or fewer. SM who left the base at least once per week also had a lower rate of compliance.

The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and types of visual field (VF) defects seen at different testing stages following nonblast and blast-induced mTBI. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective review was performed on 500 electronic health records for military personnel sustaining an mTBI during deployment, of which 166 patients were tested with both confrontation VF and 30-2 Humphrey Matrix Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimetry. Results: Scatter defects (48%) were the most predominantly found deficits in both blast and nonblast mTBI injury mechanisms and over postinjury test time frames. Confrontation VF was shown to be a poor qualitative predictor of VF defect. A profound decrease in VF sensitivity was noted in comparison to previously reported FDT normative data. Finally, a significant trend of decreasing VF defects was seen over time, indicating the potential usage of FDT as a visual biomarker for monitoring mTBI recovery. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the importance of performing threshold perimeter testing in those who have suffered an mTBI or concussion-like event.

Research done on deployed populations have focused mostly on men. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to describe physical demands and MSIs among male and female soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team during a 12-month deployment to Afghanistan. Data on occupational tasks and injuries were collected from the infantry and brigade support battalions. Out of 57 women, 22 had MSIs (39%) and for the 536 men, 120 (22%) had MSIs resulting in limited duty. The average limited duty was 7.5 and 13 days/injury for women and men, respectively. The most commonly injured body region for the men was the low back (32%) and the low back (22%) and foot and ankle (22%) for women. The activity associated with MSI for women was physical training (25%) and for men it was contact with the enemy (23%). Physically demanding duties, more distance walked, and heavier average load and objects lifted all increased the risk of injury in women. Only lifting heavier weights increased the risk in men. The women appear to have less tolerance to physically demanding work such than their male counterparts.

Although P. ovale subspecies are similar based on morphology and geographical distribution, allelic differences indicate that P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri are genetically divergent. Additionally, potential clinical and latency duration differences between P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri demonstrate the need for investigation into the contribution of this neglected malaria parasite to the global malaria burden. Methods: In order to detect all P. ovale subspecies simultaneously, we developed an inclusive P. ovale-specific real-time PCR assay based on conserved regions between P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri in the reticulocyte binding protein 2 (rbp2) gene. Additionally, we characterized the P. ovale subspecies prevalence from 22 asymptomatic malaria infections using multilocus genotyping to discriminate P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri. Results: Our P. ovale rbp2 qPCR assay validation experiments demonstrated a linear dynamic range from 6.25 rbp2 plasmid copies/microliter to 100,000 rbp2 plasmid copies/microliter and a limit of detection of 1.5 rbp2 plasmid copies/microliter. Specificity experiments showed the ability of the rbp2 qPCR assay to detect low-levels of P. ovale in the presence of additional malaria parasite species, including P. falciparum, P. vivax, and P. malariae. We identified P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri in Western Kenya by DNA sequencing of the tryptophan-rich antigen gene, the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene, and the rbp2 gene. Conclusions: Our novel P. ovale rbp2 qPCR assay detects P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri simultaneously and can be utilized to characterize the prevalence, distribution, and burden of P. ovale in malaria endemic regions. Using multilocus genotyping, we also provided the first description of the prevalence of P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri in Western Kenya, a region holoendemic for malaria transmission.

In theory, primer preseating would enable cartridge stamping tools to achieve deeper stamping penetration depths and subsequently, greater primer retention forces. This is because, with preseating incorporated in the existing small caliber cartridge production process, a cartridge stamping tool would be fully dedicated to performing the case stamping operation (rather than the simultaneous primer seating and case stamping operations it currently performs). The findings presented in this work include measured percentages of total stamping tool force dedicated to primer seating, stamping tool penetration depths with and without primer preseating and primer retention forces with and without primer preseating. These findings and their underlying principles were produced through a static force equilibrium analysis and finite element modeling and simulation studies.

The article first considers other moments of unintentional repetition in Shakespeare's corpus to provide evidence that Shakespeare's manuscript cancellations may have been overlooked by printers. Using 1) the bibliographic features of the Quarto, 2) Sonnet 153's thematic and formal linkages to the preceding sequence, and 3) the aptness of 153 rather than 154 as a bridge to A Lover's Complaint, the article argues that Shakespeare's likely cancellation of 154 was ignored in Eld's print shop for convenience or aesthetic concerns. While we may never know what shape Shakespeare's Sonnets took in manuscript, this article reclaims 153 as an important conclusion to the sequence, challenging a tradition of criticism in which the curious doubling of these two sonnets has often removed them from serious consideration.

Yet it is not entirely clear what exactly is the optimum loading for a hovering rotor. Propeller theory gives the Betz loading as the optimum for an actuator disk in axial flight, which is commonly believed to be the optimum in hover as well. Helicopter textbooks often give uniform loading (and the corresponding uniform inflow) as the optimum in hover based on simple momentum theory, which ignores induced swirl. Glauert derived optimum loading solution in hover, including swirl and showed that it differs from the Betz loading. The present work uses combined blade element momentum theory to examine these loadings and to better understand optimum hover performance. The analysis is applicable to both ideal (actuator disks) and realistic rotors. The analysis is further augmented with a profile drag model to calculate rotor performance and is successfully applied to several rotor configurations.

Since these methods rely on a finite number of atoms and molecules to describe the system, periodic boundary conditions are implemented to avoid edge effects and capture long-range electrostatic interactions. Systems consisting of a solvated bilayer adsorbed on a solid surface and exposed to an air/vacuum interface occur in many experimental settings and present some unique challenges in this respect. Here, we investigated the effects of implementing different electrostatic boundary conditions on the structural and electrostatic properties of a quartz/water/vacuum interface and a similar quartz-supported hydrated lipid bilayer exposed to vacuum. Since these interfacial systems have a net polarization, implementing the standard Ewald summation with the conducting boundary condition for the electrostatic long-range interactions introduced an artificial periodicity in the out-of-plane dimension. In particular, abnormal orientational polarizations of water were observed with the conducting boundary condition. Implementing the Ewald summation technique with the planar vacuum boundary condition and calculating electrostatic properties compatible with the implemented electrostatic boundary condition removed these inconsistencies. This formulation is generally applicable to similar interfacial systems in bulk solution.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2011/01/15/ VL - 109 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 024305 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - In this paper, pH influences of zeta potential, particle size distribution, rheology, viscosity, and stability on heat transfer nanofluids are studied. Significant enhancement of thermal conductivity (TC) (>20%) containing 3 wt % zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are observed near the isoelectric point (IEP). Meanwhile, at this IEP (pH), particle sizes, and viscosities of these nanofluids demonstrate a significant increase to maximum values. Experimental results also indicate that the stabilities of these nanofluids are influenced by pH values. The reasonable explanation for these interesting phenomena is that at this IEP, the repulsive forces among metal oxides are zero and nanoparticles coagulate together at this pH value. According to the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory, when the pH is equal to or close to the IEP, nanoparticles tend to be unstable, form clusters, and precipitate. The resulting big clusters will trap water and the structures of trapped water are varied due to the strong atomic force among nanoparticles. Water is packed well inside and volume fraction of the nanoparticles will be larger. In addition, shapes of clusters containing trapped water will not be spherical but rather has irregular structure (like chains). Such structure favors thermal transport because they provide a long link. Therefore, overall TC of nanofluids is enhanced. Some literature results and conclusions related to pH effects of nanofluids are discussed and analyzed. Understanding pH effects may enable exploration of fundamental nature of nanofluids.

The procedure allows detachment of the nanowires at the oxide interface and enables easy recovery of dispersions for subsequent controlled delivery. Nanowires 10 μm long and 50-100 nm thick are demonstrated using an SOI substrate of 10 μm device thickness. Direct material analysis shows no silver contamination after a wet-etch silver clean. Anodization treatment of the wires was conducted. Our measurements and analysis show that the wires are not amenable to anodization resulting from the fact that the nanowire radius is less than the thickness of depletion layer. The procedure has the potential of providing dispersions of arbitrarily long wirelike nanostructures which are useful for composite and energy applications.

Void nucleation, growth, and coalescence is studied for a nanocrystalline Cu system with an average grain size of 6 nm under conditions of impact of a shock piston with velocities of 250, 500, 750, and 1000 m/s and compared to that observed in single crystal copper. Higher impact velocities result in higher strain rates and higher values of spall strengths for the metal as well as nucleation of larger number of voids in smaller times. For the same impact velocity, the spall strength of the nanocrystalline metal, however, is lower than that for single crystal copper. The results obtained for void nucleation and growth in nanocrystalline Cu for various impact velocities and for single crystal copper [001] suggests two distinct stages of evolution of voids. The first stage (I) corresponds to the fast nucleation of voids followed by the second stage (II) attributed to growth and coalescence of voids. The first stage is found to be dependent on the microstructure of the system as well as the shock pressure/strain rate, whereas, the second stage of void growth is independent of the strain rate and microstructure of the system and dependent only on the number of voids nucleated.

We have compared the fenced dot samples with conventional InAs/GaAs quantum dot solar cells and with GaAs reference cells. We have found that, contrary to theoretical predictions, the AlGaAs fence layers do not enhance the transport properties of photogenerated carriers but instead suppress the extraction of the carriers excited in the dots by light with wavelengths longer than the cutoff wavelength of the GaAs matrix material. Both the standard quantum dots and the fenced dots were found to give solar cell performance comparable to the GaAs reference cells for certain active region thicknesses but neither showed enhancement due to the longer wavelength absorption or improved carrier transport.

It is found that the in-plane tensile thermal strain in BST increases with increasing deposition/processing temperature TG due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficients between the BST film and the selected substrate materials. Considering the variations in the ferroelectric phase transformation due to thermal strains, our findings show that relatively lower processing temperatures would result in better pyroelectric response. For BST 60/40 and 70/30 on all the substrates, the film is in the paraelectric state for TG=25-800 °C and the pyroelectric response is due to the interplay of the electric field and thermal strain dependence of the dielectric constant and the TG-dependence of the thermal strains. While the RT pyroelectric response of these films is expected to be relatively low (0.02-0.05 μC/cm2 K at ∼200 kV/cm), at high applied fields the pyroelectric properties do not display a significant dependence on the temperature at which the material was treated. On the other hand, BST 80/20 and BST 90/10 films may be in the ferroelectric state at RT depending on TG. If TG can be adjusted such that the ferroelectric phase transformation is near RT, a relatively high bulklike pyroelectric response (>0.5-1.0 μC/cm2 K) can be realized. However, the pyroelectric coefficient decreases sharply above and below these 'critical' TG, and thus a precise temperature control during processing would be required.

The atomic resolution images and x-ray diffraction patterns verified a lattice matched and band-gap engineered device structure of IHET. Measured values of the photocurrent were less than the theoretically expected values and indicated a loss of photocurrent between the base of the IHET and the collector. A higher filter height due to high unexpected dopant in the filter barrier was suggested as a possible cause of the current loss. Photoluminescence data in the near infrared showed the existence of such a dopant.

Izvekov and G. A. Voth, J. Phys. Chem. B 109, 2469 (2005); J. Chem. Phys. 123, 134105 (2005)] to reconstruct atomistic free-energy surfaces in coarse-grain coordinates is discussed. The MS-CG method is based on force-matching generalized forces associated with the coarse-grain coordinates. In this work, we show that the MS-CG method recovers only part of the atomistic free-energy landscape in the coarse-grain coordinates (termed the potential of mean force contribution). The portion of the atomistic free-energy landscape that is left out in the MS-CG procedure contributes to a pressure difference between atomistic and coarse-grain ensembles. Employing one- and two-site coarse-graining of nitromethane as worked examples, we discuss the virial and compressibility constraints to incorporate a pressure correction interaction into the MS-CG potentials and improve performance at different densities. The nature of the pressure correction interaction is elucidated and compared with those used in structure-based coarse-graining. As pairwise approximations to the atomistic free-energy, the MS-CG potentials naturally depend on the variables describing a thermodynamic state, such as temperature and density. Such dependencies limit state-point transferability. For nitromethane, the one- and two-site MS-CG potentials appear to be transferable across a broad range of temperatures. In particular, the two-site models, which are matched to low and ambient temperature liquid states, perform well in simulations of the ambient crystal structure. In contrast, the transferability of the MS-CG models of nitromethane across different densities is found to be problematic. To achieve better state-point transferability, density dependent MS-CG potentials are introduced and their performance is examined in simulations of nitromethane under various thermodynamic conditions, including shocked states.

The influences of the number of laser shots on the atomic and carrier concentration-depth profiles were measured with secondary ion mass spectrometry and spreading resistance profiling, respectively. We found good agreement between the atomic concentration-depth profiles obtained from experiments and a one-dimensional model for plane-front melting, solidification, liquid-phase diffusion, with kinetic solute trapping, and surface evaporation. Broadband subband gap absorption is exhibited by all dopants over a wavelength range from 1 to 2.5 microns. The absorption did not change appreciably with increasing number of laser shots, despite a measurable loss of chalcogen and of electronic carriers after each shot.

Because of the spatial separation of the electron and hole wave functions in the type II system, the potential drop between the layers dominates the shift in the real-space-indirect transition energies when an external electric field is applied. This can result in either a redshift or a blueshift, depending on the ordering of the quantum well layers within the intrinsic region of a p-i-n diode. The case in which a reverse bias on the diode yields a blueshift in the transition energy is of particular interest for IR electro-optic device applications. The modulator section of an integrated source/waveguide modulator would strongly absorb at zero bias and could be biased into transparency, and bistable optical switches could be made more efficient than with redshifting devices. We have used low temperature current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, and photocurrent measurements to characterize a type II quantum well structure that exhibits a blueshift in the lowest energy transitions that is roughly linear with applied bias and is comparable to the potential drop across the structure.

However, LiCoPO 4 shows limited cycle life and much less than theoretical energy density. In order to address these shortcomings, Fe, Cr and Si substituted-LiCoPO 4 ( Cr,Si-LiCo 0.9 Fe 0.1 PO 4 ) was investigated as an improved LiCoPO 4 based cathode material. Fe substitution greatly improves the cycle life and increases the energy density. Cr substitution further increases the energy density, cycle life and rate capability. Si substitution reduces the reactivity of the cathode with electrolyte thereby increasing cycle life. In combination, the substituents lead to a LiCoPO 4 based cathode material with no capacity fade over 250 cycles in Li/Cr,Si-LiCo 0.9 Fe 0.1 PO 4 half cells, a discharge capacity of 140 mAh g −1 at C/3 at an average discharge voltage of 4.78 V giving an energy density of 670 Wh per kg of cathode. In graphite/Cr,Si-LiCo 0.9 Fe 0.1 PO 4 full Li-ion cells, the cathode material shows an energy density of 550 Wh per kg of cathode material at 1C rate for the initial cycles and 510 Wh per kg of cathode material at the 250th cycle.

The open circuit mechanical properties of PZT films with controlled texture varying from 100% (001) to 100% (111) were quantified with the aid of direct strain measurements from freestanding thin film specimens. The texture was tuned using a highly {111}-textured Pt substrate and excess-Pb in the PbTiO3 seed layer. The mechanical and ferroelastic properties of 500 nm thick PZT (52/48) films were found to be strongly dependent on grain orientation: the lowest elastic modulus of 90±2GPa corresponded to pure (001) texture, and its value increased linearly with the percentage of (111) texture reaching 122±3GPa for pure (111) texture. These elastic modulus values were between those computed for transversely isotropic textured PZT films by using the soft and hard bulk PZT compliance coefficients. Pure (001) texture exhibited maximum non-linearity and ferroelastic domain switching, contrary to pure (111) texture that exhibited more linearity and the least amount of switching. A micromechanics model was employed to calculate the strain due to domain switching. The model fitted well the non-linearities in the experimental stress-strain curves of (001) and (111) textured PZT films, predicting 17% and 10% of switched 90° domains that initially were favorably aligned with the applied stress in (001) and (111) textured PZT films, respectively.

Two SS fractions, rigid (SS r ) and mobile (SS m ), can be discerned by time-domain wideline separation, 13 C 1 H dipolar dephasing, and frequency-switched Lee-Goldberg spin-locked T 1ρ relaxation experiments. At increasing temperature, part of the SS r population turns into SS m , while the decay constants of both fractions only see moderate changes. The extent of the population exchange is greater for samples with more phase mixing. This population exchange can be interpreted as the glass transition in the SS-rich domains. Comparison between T 1ρ relaxations on the xy plane and along the magic angle indicates that the domain sizes of SS r and SS m are likely less than 2–3 nm. SS r is not completely rigid, but possesses both a fast, anisotropic chain rotation associated with the β relaxation and a slower motion with more isotropic nature at ca. 10 5 s −1 . It is predicted that at high strain rates, most of SS r and part of SS m would become rigid, resulting in dynamically induced strengthening and toughening.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2016/09/20/ VL - 50 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 10039 EP - 10046 SN - 0013936X AB - HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine), an energetic material used in military applications, may be released to the environment during manufacturing, transportation, storage, training, and disposal. A detailed investigation of a possible mechanism of alkaline hydrolysis, as one of the most promising methods for HMX remediation, was performed by computational study at PCM(Pauling)/M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level. Obtained results suggest that HMX hydrolysis at pH 10 represents a highly exothermic multistep process involving initial deprotonation and nitrite elimination, hydroxide attachment accompanied by cycle cleavage, and further decomposition of cycle-opened intermediate to the products caused by a series of C-N bond ruptures, hydroxide attachments, and proton transfers. Computationally predicted products of HMX hydrolysis such as nitrite, 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal, formaldehyde, nitrous oxide, formate, and ammonia correspond to experimentally observed species. Based on computed reaction pathways for HMX decomposition by alkaline hydrolysis, the kinetics of the entire process was modeled. Very low efficiency of this reaction at pH 10 was observed. Computations predict significant increases (orders of magnitude) of the hydrolysis rate for hydrolysis reactions undertaken at pH 11, 12, and 13.

The extended cutoff was achieved by increasing the lattice constant of the substrate from 6.09 to 6.13 Å using a 1.5 µm thick AlSb buffer layer to enable the growth of bulk InAs0.81Sb0.19 absorber material. Transitioning the lattice to 6.13 Å also enables the use of a simple binary AlSb layer as a unipolar barrier to block majority carrier electrons and reduce dark current noise. Individual test devices with 4 lm thick absorbers displayed 150K dark current density, cutoff wavelength, and quantum efficiency of 3x10-5 A/cm², 5.31 µm, and 44% at 3.4 µm, respectively. The instantaneous dark current activation energy at a given bias and temperature is determined via Arrhenius analysis from the Dark current vs. temperature and bias data, and a discussion of valence band alignment between the InAsxSb1-x absorber and AlSb barrier layers is presented.

JO - Journal of Crystal Growth JF - Journal of Crystal Growth Y1 - 2016/09/15/ VL - 450 M3 - Article SP - 96 EP - 102 SN - 00220248 AB - Single crystals of mercurous halide were grown by physical vapor transport method (PVT). The orientation and the crystalline quality of the grown crystals were determined using high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) technique. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the grown mercurous bromide crystals was measured to be 0.13 degrees for (004) reflection, which is the best that has been achieved so far for PVT grown mercurous halide single crystals. The extended defects of the crystals were also analyzed using high resolution x-ray diffraction topography. Preliminary studies were carried out to evaluate the performance of the crystals on acousto-optic modulator (AOM) and gamma-ray detector applications. The results indicate the grown mercurous halide crystals are excellent materials for acousto-optic modulator device fabrication. The diffraction efficiencies of the fabricated AOM device with 1152 and 1523 nm wavelength lasers polarizing parallel to the acoustic wave were found to be 35% and 28%, respectively. The results also indicate the grown crystals are a promising material for gamma-ray detector application with a very high energy resolution of 1.86% FWHM.

JO - Journal of Affective Disorders JF - Journal of Affective Disorders Y1 - 2016/09/15/ VL - 202 M3 - journal article SP - 58 EP - 66 SN - 01650327 AB - Background: The relative balance between the wish to live and the wish to die (i.e., suicidal ambivalence) is a robust predictor of suicidal behavior and may be a mechanism underlying the effectiveness of treatments that reduce suicidal behaviors. To date, however, few studies have explored possible mechanisms of action in these treatments.Method: Active duty Soldiers (N=152) with a recent suicide attempt and/or active suicide ideation were randomized to receive brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) or treatment as usual (TAU). The Suicide Attempt Self-Injury Inventory (Linehan et al., 2006a) was used to assess the incidence of suicide attempts during the 2-year follow-up. The wish to live and the wish to die were assessed with items 1 and 2, respectively, of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (Beck and Steer, 1991).Results: Across both treatments, the wish to live was significantly weaker among patients who attempted suicide but the wish to die was stronger only among patients who attempted suicide in TAU. Among nonattempters, the wish to die stabilized the wish to live, but among attempters the wish to live and the wish to die were not associated with each other. In BCBT the wish to live destabilized the wish to die among nonattempters.Limitations: Self-report methodology, predominantly male sample.Conclusions: The emergence of suicidal behavior is driven primarily by the absence of the wish to live. BCBT is associated with a unique coupling of an ambivalent wish to live and wish to die, which may suggest an underlying mechanism of action.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2016/09/14/ VL - 138 IS - 36 M3 - Article SP - 11449 EP - 11452 SN - 00027863 AB - Carbon dioxide adsorption in metal-organic frameworks has been widely studied for applications in carbon capture and sequestration. A critical component that has been largely overlooked is the measurement of diffusion rates. This paper describes a new reproducible procedure to synthesize millimeter-scale Cu-BTC single crystals using concentrated reactants and an acetic acid modulator. Microscopic images, X-ray diffraction patterns, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas, and thermogravimetric analysis results all confirm the high quality of these Cu-BTC single crystals. The large crystal size aids in the accurate measurement of micropore diffusion coefficients. Concentration-swing frequency response performed at varying gas-phase concentrations gives diffusion coefficients that show very little dependence on the loading up to pressures of 0.1 bar. The measured micropore diffusion coefficient for CO2 in Cu-BTC is 1.7 x 10-9 m²/s.

JO - Clinical Proteomics JF - Clinical Proteomics Y1 - 2016/09/05/ VL - 13 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 18 SN - 15426416 AB - Background: Ebola virus like particles (EBOV VLPs, eVLPs), are produced by expressing the viral transmembrane glycoprotein (GP) and structural matrix protein VP40 in mammalian cells. When expressed, these proteins self-assemble and bud from 'host' cells displaying morphology similar to infectious virions. Several studies have shown that rodents and non-human primates vaccinated with eVLPs are protected from lethal EBOV challenge. The mucin-like domain of envelope glycoprotein GP1 serves as the major target for a productive humoral immune response. Therefore GP1 concentration is a critical quality attribute of EBOV vaccines and accurate measurement of the amount of GP1 present in eVLP lots is crucial to understanding variability in vaccine efficacy. Methods: After production, eVLPs are characterized by determining total protein concentration and by western blotting, which only provides semi-quantitative information for GP1. Therefore, a liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) approach for accurately measuring GP1 concentration in eVLPs was developed. The method employs an isotope dilution strategy using four target peptides from two regions of the GP1 protein. Purified recombinant GP1 was generated to serve as an assay standard. GP1 quantitation in 5 eVLP lots was performed on an LTQ-Orbitrap Elite and the final quantitation was derived by comparing the relative response of 200 fmol AQUA peptide standards to the analyte response at 4 ppm. Results: Conditions were optimized to ensure complete tryptic digestion of eVLP, however, persistent missed cleavages were observed in target peptides. Additionally, N-terminal truncated forms of the GP1 protein were observed in all eVLP lots, making peptide selection crucial. The LC-HRMS strategy resulted in quantitation of GP1 with a lower limit of quantitation of 1 fmol and an average percent coefficient of variation (CV) of 7.6%. Unlike western blot values, the LC-HRMS quantitation of GP1 in 5 eVLP vaccine lots exhibited a strong linear relationship (positive correlation) with survival (after EBOV challenge) in mice. Conclusions: This method provides a means to rapidly determine eVLP batch quality based upon quantitation of antigenic GP1. By monitoring variability in GP1 content, the eVLP production process can be optimized, and the total amount of GP1 needed to confer protection accurately determined.

JO - Psychophysiology JF - Psychophysiology Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 53 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1417 EP - 1428 SN - 00485772 AB - Stress analysis by FLIR (forward-looking infrared) evaluation (SAFE) has been demonstrated to monitor sweat pore activation (SPA) as a novel surrogate measure of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity in a normal population. SNS responses to a series of 15 1-s, 82 dB, white noise bursts were measured by skin conductance (SC) and SAFE monitoring of SPA on the fingers (FiP) and face (FaP) in 10 participants with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 16 trauma-exposed participants without PTSD ( Mage = 48.92 ± 12.00 years; 26.9% female). Within participants, SC and FiP responses across trials were strongly correlated ( r = .92, p < .001). Correlations between SC and FaP ( r = .76, p = .001) and between FiP and FaP ( r = .47, p = .005) were smaller. The habituation of SNS responses across the 15 trials was substantial (SC: d = −2.97; FiP: d = −2.34; FaP: d = −1.02). There was a strong correlation between habituation effects for SC and FiP ( r = .76, p < .001), but not for SC and FaP ( r = .15, p = .45) or FiP and FaP ( r = .29, p = .16). Participants with PTSD showed larger SNS responses to the first loud noise than those without PTSD. PTSD reexperiencing symptoms assessed by the PTSD Checklist on the day of testing were associated with the SNS responses to the first loud noise measured by SC ( d = 1.19) and FiP ( d = .99), but not FaP ( d = .10). This study confirms convergence of SAFE and SC as valid measures of SNS activity. SAFE FiP and SC responses were highly predictive of self-rated PTSD reexperiencing symptoms. SAFE may offer an attractive alternative for applications in PTSD and similar populations.

JO - Systems Engineering JF - Systems Engineering Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 19 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 409 EP - 421 SN - 10981241 AB - ABSTRACT This paper describes an approach that leverages computer simulation models and statistical experimental designs for exploration studies during the early conceptual design of a system. We apply the approach to a naval ship design problem and demonstrate how we can illuminate trade decisions among multiple design decisions and evaluation measures using a dynamic dashboard. After performing experimental designs on a collection of simulation models, we can fit statistical models that act as surrogates to these simulations. These surrogate models allow us to explore a wider variety of system alternatives rather than fixating on a narrow set of alternatives. The purpose of the approach is to simultaneously explore the operational and physical domains using statistical surrogate models in order to illuminate trade decisions between the system's operational effectiveness and physical design considerations.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 82 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5287 EP - 5297 SN - 00992240 AB - This work analyzes the high-pressure (HP) germination of spores of the food-borne pathogen Clostridium perfringens (with inner membrane [IM] germinant receptors [GRs]) and the opportunistic pathogen Clostridium difficile (with no IM GRs), which has growing implications as an emerging food safety threat. In contrast to those of spores of Bacillus species, mechanisms of HP germination of clostridial spores have not been well studied. HP treatments trigger Bacillus spore germination through spores' IM GRs at150 MPa or through SpoVA channels for release of spores' dipicolinic acid (DPA) at>400 MPa, and DPA-less spores have lower wet heat resistance than dormant spores. We found that C. difficile spores exhibited no germination events upon 150-MPa treatment and were not heat sensitized. In contrast, 150-MPa-treated unactivated C. perfringens spores released DPA and became heat sensitive, although most spores did not complete germination by fully rehydrating the spore core, but this treatment of heat-activated spores led to almost complete germination and greater heat sensitization. Spores of both clostridial organisms released DPA during 550-MPa treatment, but C. difficile spores did not complete germination and remained heat resistant. Heat-activated 550-MPa-HP-treated C. perfringens spores germinated almost completely and became heat sensitive. However, unactivated 550-MPa-treated C. perfringens spores did not germinate completely and were less heat sensitive than spores that completed germination. Since C. difficile and C. perfringens spores use different mechanisms for sensing germinants, our results may allow refinement of HP methods for their inactivation in foods and other applications and may guide the development of commercially sterile low-acid foods.

JO - Toxicon JF - Toxicon Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 119 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 233 SN - 00410101 AB - Palytoxin (PLTX) and its analogues have been detected as seafood contaminants associated with a series of human foodborne poisonings. Due to a number of fatalities ascribed to the ingestion of PLTX-contaminated marine organisms, the development of methods for its detection in seafood has been recommended by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Due to its feasibility, the spectrophotometric hemolytic assay is widely used to detect PLTX in different matrices, even though a standardized protocol is still lacking. Thus, on the basis of available assay procedures, a new standardized protocol was set up using purified human erythrocytes exposed to PLTX (working range: 3.9 × 10 −10 –2.5 × 10 −8 M) in a K + -free phosphate buffered saline solution, employing a 5 h incubation at 41 °C. An intra-laboratory characterization demonstrated its sensitivity (limit of detection, LOD = 1.4 × 10 −10 M and quantitation, LOQ = 3.4 × 10 −10 M), accuracy ( bias = −0.8%), repeatability (RSDr = 15% and 6% for intra- and inter-day repeatability, respectively) and specificity. However, the standardized method seems not to be suitable for PLTX quantitation in complex matrices, such as mussel ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ) extracts, at least below the limit suggested by EFSA (30 μg PLTXs/Kg shellfish meat). Thus, the hemolytic assay for PLTX quantitation in seafood should be used only after a careful evaluation of the specific matrix effects.

In this article, the focus is on quantifying the elastic anisotropy of crystalline materials. Previous elastic anisotropy indices are reviewed and their shortcomings discussed. A new scalar log-Euclidean anisotropy measure AL is proposed, which overcomes these deficiencies. It is based on a distance measure in a log-Euclidean space applied to fourth-rank elastic tensors. AL is an absolute measure of anisotropy where the limiting case of perfect isotropy yields zero. It is a universal measure of anisotropy applicable to all crystalline materials. Specific examples of strong anisotropy are highlighted. A supplementary material provides an anisotropy table giving the values of AL for 2,176 crystallite compounds.

The incorporation of sulfur into silicon using this technique led to the observation of strong broadband infrared absorption in the resulting material. This observation, combined with interest in impurity band optoelectronic device concepts, has resulted in renewed interest in laser techniques for achieving high impurity concentrations. In this paper, I review the literature that led to the present understanding of laser hyperdoping and provide a summary of the optical and optoelectronic measurements made on sulfur hyperdoped silicon to date. I mention recent work exploring transition metal impurities and discuss how considerations discovered in early solidification and later rapid solidification work inform our approaches to kinetically trapping such impurities. I also provide a simplified picture of how a laser hyperdoping process is typically carried out, as an entry point for an experimentalist seeking to fabricate such layers.

The experiment was conducted in the Wasatch Mountains during January 5-February 15, 2015. Fog and in particular, Ice fog (IF), defined as fog composed of only ice crystals, was studied during a part of the campaign, and this component of the program was dubbed MATERHORN-Fog. Ice fog often occurs in mountainous regions due do rapid cooling, such as radiative cooling, advective cooling, and cooling associated with mountain circulations (e.g., slope and valley winds). A variety of major instrument platforms were deployed, which included meteorological towers, a SODAR, a LiDAR, ceilometers, and a tethersonde profiler. In addition, in situ measurements took place at several locations surrounding Salt Lake City and Heber City. During the campaign, ice fog occurred at temperatures below −5 °C down to −13 °C and lasted for several hours until radiative heating became significant. The visibility (Vis) during ice fog events ranged from 100 m up to 10 km. At the Heber City site an array of sensors for measuring microphysical, radiative, and dynamical characteristics of IF events were deployed. Some local effects such as upslope advection were observed to affect the IF conditions. As expected during these events, ice water content (IWC) varied from 0.01 up to 0.2 g m, with radiative cooling fluxes as strong as 200 W m; turbulent heat and moisture fluxes were significantly lower during fog events than those of fog dissipation. At times, the measured ice crystal number concentration was as high as 100 cm during periods of saturation with respect to ice. N was not a constant as usually assumed in forecasting simulations, but rather changed with increasing IWC. Measurement based statistics suggested that the occurrence of IF events in the region was up to 30 % during the study period in the winter of 2015. Temperature profiles suggested that an inversion layer contributed significantly to IF formation at Heber. Ice fog forecasts via Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model indicated the limitations of IF predictability. Results suggest that IF predictions need to be improved based on ice microphysical parameterizations and ice nucleation processes.

JO - Biological Conservation JF - Biological Conservation Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 201 M3 - Article SP - 284 EP - 292 SN - 00063207 AB - The combined effects of global climate change and increased anthropogenic use of free water are likely to cause decreases in availability and surface area of water in arid environments. Climate change and water loss are predicted to alter community dynamics, but identifying mechanisms underlying differential responses of species remains a critical conservation challenge. Bats drink in flight and rely on accessible water sources, yet the ability to access water is a function of flight maneuverability. By reducing the size of water sources (to simulate predicted water loss due to climate change/increased human use), we demonstrated species-specific responses by desert bats based on differences in morphology and flight maneuverability. Under natural conditions, less-maneuverable bats selected larger water sources while maneuverable bats exhibited no preference. When we experimentally reduced surface area, larger, less-maneuverable bats experienced a 69% decrease in the proportion of drinking attempts that were successful ( p < 0.05) and increased competition with smaller, maneuverable bats. Our study illustrates how morphology can mediate access to a resource and highlights conservation implications as water becomes more limited in arid environments. Selection for differences in wing morphology and flight ability in insectivorous bats has allowed for coexistence and high species richness at a local scale. However, anticipated reductions in the sizes of water sources due to climate disruption may lead to species with less maneuverability being unable to access water efficiently and facing increased competition from more agile bats.

Results from an exploratory cross-cultural study. JO - Food Quality & Preference JF - Food Quality & Preference Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 52 M3 - Article SP - 62 EP - 73 SN - 09503293 AB - Interest in measuring consumers’ perceived wellbeing in a food-related context has grown in the last decade. Considering that wellbeing is one of the most important goals that people pursue to achieve a good life, studying the influence of food on this construct can contribute to our understanding of how eating behavior patterns are shaped. The conceptualization of wellbeing and the influence of specific food products on different aspects of this construct are expected to vary with consumers’ cultural background. The present work aimed to investigate cross-cultural differences in perceived wellbeing of food products and to link those differences to product-specific consumer evaluations. A web-based study was carried out with 1332 participants in seven countries on four continents: Brazil, China, France, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay and USA. Nine food concepts (apple, beef, beer, broccoli, chocolate cake, coffee, fish, French fries and milk) were presented to participants by means of an incomplete balanced design. For each concept, participants gave their degree of agreement with 31 statements of a new wellbeing questionnaire, using a 7-point scale. The scores of the 31 items of the scale were significantly affected by country and food concept, as well as through their interaction. The largest differences among products were found for items related to physical and intellectual aspects of wellbeing, whereas the largest differences among countries were found for items related to emotional and spiritual aspects. Results from this research provide insights for measuring consumers’ perception of the influence of foods on wellbeing and highlight the importance of taking into account cultural differences in the conceptualization of this construct.

JO - Geomorphology JF - Geomorphology Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 268 M3 - Article SP - 35 EP - 47 SN - 0169555X AB - The Mississippi River is the ultimate single-thread meandering river. Five hundred kilometers upstream from its mouth, about 25% of the river's discharge and sediment load is diverted into the Atchafalaya River. This diversion is controlled by the Old River Control Structure (ORCS), built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in stages since 1961, to stop the avulsion of the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya. The effects of ORCS on sediment and water discharge and geomorphic change to the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) channel are not yet completely understood and require placing the river into a geomorphic context, first classifying the channel into similar categories before evaluating change. The objectives of this study are to estimate the LMR bedload, develop and apply a geomorphic classification of the LMR near the ORCS, and explore geomorphic change within the classified areas. We studied a 115-km-long stretch between ORCS and Baton Rouge that is highly impacted by engineering. We used six sets of bathymetric multibeam echosounder surveys conducted by the USACE, multitemporal cartographies, and a field survey supported by multibeam echosounder bathymetry, acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements, sediment samples collection, and geomorphic observations. A three-dimensional method for estimating bedload from time-elapsed bathymetric surveys was developed and applied on seven sets of time-elapsed surveys downstream from ORCS from 2010, 2011, and 2012. We estimate that the fraction of bedload as a percentage of total sand load between 2003 and 2011 was 13.2%. A bedform classification scheme, based on bedform height, was developed. The bed was almost completely mantled by sandy bedforms above the − 24-m isoline. The studied reach was divided into ten zones according to four geomorphic types based on channel planform, geologic controls, presence of islands, and other morphometric parameters. These zones were shown to be physically distinct in terms of bedform location, depth to bedform size, channel sinuosity, channel width-to-depth ratios, and adjustments in the thalweg and channel width from 1948 to 2012. The 1948 to 1975 period displayed a relatively large amount of thalweg aggradation, with a spatial average of 1.8 m and an average channel narrowing of 80 m. The 1975 to 2012 period had much lower spatial aggradation of 0.5 m and a lower average channel narrowing of 35 m. Thalweg sinuosity did not adjust very much, with an average reduction of 0.02 from 1948 to 2012 and an average of zero adjustment between 1975 and 2012. The shape and spatial extent of a very large, anomalous bar near ORCS varied at seasonal and decadal timescales and may be influenced by the ORCS. Bed morphology was specific to geomorphic zones, which were shown to be physically significant, and should be employed in future studies of large rivers.

One day, however, Ahmed Necmeddin Bey was beaten by a group of Turks and Armenians in Aintab; his clothes torn, he was dismissed from his post and finally expelled him from the city. But what was the reason for this incident? Within the first year of the declaration of the Constitution, it was the most important event that occurred in the city. This particular incident calls for careful examination, for this significant event reflects how the Second Constitutional era and the new regime were perceived by Muslims and Armenians in Aintab on a local level. Additionally, it offers us some useful clues regarding how the Union and Progress Party as a political organization and its policies were received on a local scale. By studying this case, it is also possible to see a clear example of how ordinary Ottoman citizens reacted towards the revival of the Constitution.

JO - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) JF - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 306 EP - 317 SN - 08995605 AB - Although both the military and fraternities have been theorized to be characterized by norms and attitudes that serve to legitimize violence against women, no previous work has examined the potential similarity and differences in rape-supportive beliefs of these 2 environments or the people drawn to them. Further, the belief systems of women within these organizations have received little attention. As such, the current study sought to serve as an initial exploration of the rape-supportive belief systems of people drawn to these groups. Participants were recruited from students entering 2 military service academies (U.S. Military Academy, n = 1,169, 1,003 men, 166 women; U.S. Naval Academy, n = 1,916, 1,551 men, 365 women) and fraternities and sororities at a Midwestern university (n = 393, 188 men, 205 women). All participants completed the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale-Short Form. Consistent with previous findings related to gender, men were more accepting of rape myths than women. Further, there was more variability in the levels of rape myth acceptance among military service academy and fraternity men than among military service academy and sorority women. Although across all groups the women expressed significantly lower levels of rape myth acceptance than the men, women and men from the United States Military Academy were more closely aligned in their beliefs than women and men from the other samples. Implications for sexual assault prevention education are discussed.

JO - Journal of Business & Psychology JF - Journal of Business & Psychology Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 31 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 361 EP - 381 SN - 08893268 AB - Purpose: Organizational culture is a critical resource for organizations to adapt to dynamic environments and to survive in the long term. Unfortunately, a lack of clarity exists in the conceptualization of adaptive cultures and little empirical research investigates its impact on survival. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to identify, define, and develop a measure of adaptive organizational culture and (2) to demonstrate the effect of adaptive culture on organizational survival. Design/Methodology/Approach: An adaptive culture rating scale was developed based on a review of the existing literature. Ninety-five organizations founded prior to 1940 were rated on nine characteristics of adaptive culture. Ratings were used to predict likelihood to survive using a Cox regression with proportional hazards survival analysis. Findings: Exploratory factor analysis revealed two broad factors of adaptive culture, values toward change and action-orientation. Findings indicate organizations with adaptive cultures were more likely to survive. Implications: The present effort provided evidence that culture can serve as an adaptive mechanism with effects spanning decades. Leaders should focus on establishing adaptive cultural norms and values in order to increase chances of surviving. Originality/Value: This is one of the first historiometric studies to develop and utilize a measure of adaptive culture. Further, this study looked at the impact of adaptive culture on long-term organizational outcomes using survival analysis, a statistical technique not often employed in the organizational literature.

Previous research indicates the primary motive for suicide attempts among military personnel is the desire to reduce or alleviate emotional distress, a finding that converges with studies in nonmilitary samples. Much less is understood about the consequences of a first suicide attempt that could influence the occurrence of additional suicide attempts. In order to identify these contingencies, 134 active duty Soldiers who had attempted suicide (n=69 first-time attempters, n=65 multiple attempters) participated in structured interviews focused on their experiences immediately following their first attempt. Soldiers were more likely to have made multiple suicide attempts if they were younger at the time of their first attempt, were not admitted to a hospital or treatment program after their first attempt, or experienced emotional and psychological relief immediately afterwards. Results suggest that Soldiers who experience emotional and/or psychological relief immediately after their first suicide attempt or do not receive treatment are more likely to make additional suicide attempts.

JO - Electrochimica Acta JF - Electrochimica Acta Y1 - 2016/08/20/ VL - 210 M3 - Article SP - 261 EP - 270 SN - 00134686 AB - There are several chemical and electrochemical reactions that occur on a solvated magnesium surface, many of which contribute to the localized corrosion of magnesium and its alloys. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of particular interest because corrosion rates for different Mg alloys can be estimated by in situ monitoring of HER from a corroding sample surface. Therefore, a detailed mechanism for the HER on magnesium is proposed that connects the initial water dissociation reaction with the Tafel reaction through a self-consistent pathway involving adsorbed species. First principles modeling using Density Functional Theory (DFT) is used to map this reaction pathway on Mg(0001) and to determine the thermodynamic variables and kinetic barriers for each reaction in the scheme. An alternative mechanism for HER is also modeled that involves subsurface hydrogen, but this mechanism is found to have a negligible Gibbs free energy. It is also found that water dissociation occurs over the Mg Mg bridging site and has a large thermodynamic driving force. Reactions involving multiple water molecules and adsorbed species are modeled, as well, and it is found that the presence of H ads and OH ads provides a thermodynamic driving force for water dissociation while also increasing the activation barrier for the Tafel reaction. Hence, DFT calculations show that the presence of adsorbed species can have a large impact on the kinetics of chemical and electrochemical reactions that occur on the Mg surface.

This study provides insight into the creation of a simultaneously multifunctional surface formed by balancing two orthogonal functions; water repellency and enzyme catalysis. A partially fluorinated thiol is used to impart bulk hydrophobicity on the surface, and an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester-terminated thiol provides a specific anchoring sites for the covalent enzyme attachment. Different ratios of the two thiols are mixed together to form amphiphilic self-assembled monolayers, which are characterized with polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy and contact angle goniometry. The enzyme activity is measured by a fluorescence assay. With the results collected here, specific surface compositions are identified at which the orthogonal functions of water repellency and enzyme catalysis are balanced and exist simultaneously. An understanding of how to effectively balance orthogonal functions at surfaces can be extended to a number of higher-scale applications.

We review a few of the many physiological changes associated with CSE, with an emphasis on receptor trafficking. Time-dependent internalization of synaptic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptors explains, in part, the loss of inhibition and the loss of response to benzodiazepines in the early stages of CSE. The increase in N-methyl- d-aspartate receptors may contribute to the runaway excitation and excitotoxicity of CSE. These changes have therapeutic implications. The time-dependent increase in maladaptive changes points to the importance of early treatment. The involvement of both inhibitory and excitatory systems challenges current therapeutic guidelines, which recommend treating only one system, and questions the rationale for monotherapy. It suggests that polytherapy may be needed, especially when treatment is delayed, so that drugs can only reach a much reduced number of GABAA receptors. Finally, it raises the possibility that the current practice of waiting for one treatment to fail before starting the next drug may need to be reevaluated.

JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2016/08/15/ VL - 115 M3 - Article SP - 295 EP - 307 SN - 13596454 AB - Cryomilling is a broadly applied technique to synthesize nanostructured alloys and composites through powder metallurgy (PM) processing. Understanding the interactions between liquid nitrogen and the nanostructured metal powder is important as it can potentially impact the mechanical performance of these materials. In this study, we performed a series of ab initio density functional theory (DFT) computations to examine the interactions of liquid nitrogen and Mg-based matrices and the formation of Mg-nitrides. The diffusion energy barriers of nitrogen in the Mg and/or Mg-Al alloys were systematically quantified by calculating the transition state (TS) for the displacement of nitrogen between two neighboring equivalent positions. The TS calculation results indicate that diffusion of N atoms is much easier than that of N 2 molecule in the Mg matrix. It is predicted that at least ∼0.4 eV is required to overcome the diffusion energy barrier in the Mg matrix. We also quantified the formation energy of Mg nitride in the matrix. The presence of Mg nitride was demonstrated experimentally using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). In conjunction with the DFT computations and TEM/EELS analysis, we performed analytical calculations for the strain energy introduced during cryomilling to examine the impacts of processing parameters.

Despite their frequent use and improvements in algorithm and processor performance, accurate resolution of these flows is a computationally intensive task for many regimes. The resulting computational burden persists as a barrier to the inclusion of fully resolved two-dimensional shallow water models in many applications, particularly when the analysis involves optimal design, parameter inversion, risk assessment, and/or uncertainty quantification. Here, we consider model reduction for a stabilized finite element approximation of the SWE that can resolve advection-dominated problems with shocks but is also suitable for more smoothly varying riverine and estuarine flows. The model reduction is performed using Galerkin projection on a global basis provided by Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). To achieve realistic speedup, we evaluate alternative techniques for the reduction of the non-polynomial nonlinearities that arise in the stabilized formulation. We evaluate the schemes’ performance by considering their accuracy, robustness, and speed for idealized test problems representative of dam-break and riverine flows.

JO - Journal of Chromatography A JF - Journal of Chromatography A Y1 - 2016/08/12/ VL - 1459 M3 - Article SP - 101 EP - 111 SN - 00219673 AB - Performance of tile-based Fisher Ratio (F-ratio) data analysis, recently developed for discovery-based studies using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC–TOFMS), is evaluated with a metabolomics dataset that had been previously analyzed in great detail, but while taking a brute force approach. The previously analyzed data (referred to herein as the benchmark dataset) were intracellular extracts from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), either metabolizing glucose (repressed) or ethanol (derepressed), which define the two classes in the discovery-based analysis to find metabolites that are statistically different in concentration between the two classes. Beneficially, this previously analyzed dataset provides a concrete means to validate the tile-based F-ratio software. Herein, we demonstrate and validate the significant benefits of applying tile-based F-ratio analysis. The yeast metabolomics data are analyzed more rapidly in about one week versus one year for the prior studies with this dataset. Furthermore, a null distribution analysis is implemented to statistically determine an adequate F-ratio threshold, whereby the variables with F-ratio values below the threshold can be ignored as not class distinguishing, which provides the analyst with confidence when analyzing the hit table. Forty-six of the fifty-four benchmarked changing metabolites were discovered by the new methodology while consistently excluding all but one of the benchmarked nineteen false positive metabolites previously identified.

Generally, these species may be treated as the ones formed by one-electron oxidation of diamagnetic analogues that are neutral or cationic. Despite the importance of TMHRCs, the generally sensitive nature of these complexes has hindered their development. However, over the last four decades, many more TMHRCs have been synthesized, characterized, isolated, or hypothesized as reaction intermediates. This comprehensive review focuses on experimental studies of TMHRCs reported through the year 2014, with an emphasis on isolated and observed species. The methods used for the generation or synthesis of TMHRCs are surveyed, followed by a discussion about the stability of these complexes. The fundamental properties of TMHRCs, especially those pertaining to the Mâ€"H bond, are described, followed by a detailed treatment of decomposition pathways. Finally, reactions involving TMHRCs as intermediates are described.

JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2016/08/08/ VL - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 18 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: The malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes a complex life cycle, including an intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, during which it is metabolically dependent on the infected human red blood cell (RBC). To describe whole cell metabolic activity within both P. falciparum and RBCs during the asexual reproduction phase of the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, we developed an integrated host-parasite metabolic modeling framework driven by time-dependent gene expression data. Results: We validated the model by reproducing the experimentally determined 1) stage-specific production of biomass components and their precursors in the parasite and 2) metabolite concentration changes in the medium of P. falciparum-infected RBC cultures. The model allowed us to explore time- and strain-dependent P. falciparum metabolism and hypothesize how host cell metabolism alters in response to malarial infection. Specifically, the metabolic analysis showed that uninfected RBCs that coexist with infected cells in the same culture decrease their production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, an oxygen-carrying regulator, reducing the ability of hemoglobin in these cells to release oxygen. Furthermore, in response to parasite-induced oxidative stress, infected RBCs downgraded their glycolytic flux by using the pentose phosphate pathway and secreting ribulose-5-phosphate. This mechanism links individually observed experimental phenomena, such as glycolytic inhibition and ribulose-5-phosphate secretion, to the oxidative stress response. Conclusions: Although the metabolic model does not incorporate regulatory mechanisms per se, alterations in gene expression levels caused by regulatory mechanisms are manifested in the model as altered metabolic states. This provides the model the capability to capture complex multicellular host-pathogen metabolic interactions of the infected RBC culture. The system-level analysis revealed complex relationships such as how the parasite can reduce oxygen release in uninfected cells in the presence of infected RBCs as well as the role of different metabolic pathways involved in the oxidative stress response of infected RBCs.

We conducted a study of sickle cell trait in relation to these outcomes, controlling for known risk factors for exertional rhabdomyolysis, in a large population of active persons who had undergone laboratory tests for hemoglobin AS (HbAS) and who were subject to exertional-injury precautions.Methods: We used Cox proportional-hazards models to test whether the risks of exertional rhabdomyolysis and death varied according to sickle cell trait status among 47,944 black soldiers who had undergone testing for HbAS and who were on active duty in the U.S. Army between January 2011 and December 2014. We used the Stanford Military Data Repository, which contains comprehensive medical and administrative data on all active-duty soldiers.Results: There was no significant difference in the risk of death among soldiers with sickle cell trait, as compared with those without the trait (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 2.13; P=0.97), but the trait was associated with a significantly higher adjusted risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis (hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.12 to 2.12; P=0.008). This effect was similar in magnitude to that associated with tobacco use, as compared with no use (hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.94; P<0.001), and to that associated with having a body-mass index (BMI; the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of 30.0 or more, as compared with a BMI of less than 25.0 (hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.86; P=0.03). The effect was less than that associated with recent use of a statin, as compared with no use (hazard ratio, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.51 to 5.55; P=0.001), or an antipsychotic agent (hazard ratio, 3.02; 95% CI, 1.34 to 6.82; P=0.008).Conclusions: Sickle cell trait was not associated with a higher risk of death than absence of the trait, but it was associated with a significantly higher risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 94 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 73 SN - 0734743X AB - The ballistic performance of an ultra-high hardness armour steel (UHA) has been evaluated for a range of thicknesses and obliquities against armour piercing (AP) and fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs). Together with published literature, these results enable the effect of plate hardness on performance against both AP and FSP threats to be characterized over a range of plate hardnesses from ~ 300 to 600 HB. For AP projectiles, a complex relationship was observed that corresponded well with historical phenomenological curves describing the effect of varying projectile and armour failure mechanisms. In the ultra-high hardness regime (> 570 HB), against AP projectiles with core hardnesses of 610–745 HB (i.e. 7.62 mm APM2 and 12.7 mm APM2 projectiles), projectile shatter was demonstrated to be the controlling mechanism of armour performance. Against much softer FSPs (281 HB), where projectile shatter is not a relevant mechanism, the armour performance was found to initially decrease with increasing plate hardness up to ~ 450 HB due to increased susceptibility to adiabatic shear plugging. Above ~ 450 HB the performance was observed to plateau. The observed performance plateau appears to relate to a critical threshold for adiabatic shear failure beyond which further increases in plate hardness will not result in a decrease in performance. A number of common empirical and analytical models were applied to reproduce the experimentally-determined relationship between hardness and penetration resistance, none of which were able to qualitatively or quantitatively reproduce the observed relationships for either projectile class.

JO - Materials Letters JF - Materials Letters Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 176 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 176 SN - 0167577X AB - This work introduces an innovative technique to characterize the internal morphology of high-performance fibers by using a focused ion beam (FIB) sample preparation method and subsequent atomic force microscopy (AFM). A FIB is used to mill opposing notches that facilitate direct failure along a longitudinal shear plane, and expose the internal surface of the fiber. By exposing this surface via longitudinal shear, distortion of the cleaved surface is minimal, which is an advantage over surface preparation methods such as microtoming. After cleaving the notched fibers, an AFM technique is used to generate modulus maps of the fiber fracture surfaces. These modulus maps provide qualitative and quantitative microstructural information. Initial results obtained from Kevlar KM2 and Dyneema SK76 fibers are presented and a brief analysis of the observed internal features is provided. Extending the technique to image internal features in other materials is also discussed.

Methods: Randomly chosen, nationally representative serum samples from consenting men aged 18-40 years and who were screened between February 2010 and January 2011 were tested, with ~25 samples/province. Samples were screened for PV and PF antigens and VL antibody with rapid diagnostic tests. Reactive malaria screening results were confirmed with polymerase chain reaction assay. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to screen for CCHF and DENV antibodies; reactive DENV samples were confirmed with the plaquereduction neutralization test. BR screening and confirmatory testing was performed with slide and tube agglutination, respectively. Correlates of BR titres >1:80 were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Of 809 participants contributing specimens, 62% had previously lived outside Afghanistan, predominantly in Pakistan and Iran. CCHF (4.1%, n = 33), DENV (2.1%, n = 17), and VL (1.0%, n = 8) antibody prevalence was low. For PV and PF, only 7 out of 56 reactive samples had detectable nucleic acid. For BR, 8.0% (n = 65) of samples had screening titers >1:40, of which 83.1% had confirmatory titers >1:80. Participants from Kabul and surrounding provinces had lower odds (OR = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.04-1.00) of BR antibody compared with other regions. Conclusions: BR exposure was relatively common with a nearly national distribution, whereas geographic distribution for other pathogens aligned roughly with the expected vector distribution. Public health protection measures should include vector control, food safety, and enhanced diagnostics for acute febrile illness.

JO - Applied Soil Ecology JF - Applied Soil Ecology Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 104 M3 - Article SP - 12 EP - 24 SN - 09291393 AB - As sentinel species, earthworms such as Eisenia spp. and Lumbricus spp. have been considered among the best bioindicators or biomonitors for soil ecosystems owing to their close contact with the environment and essential roles in soil pedogenesis, structure, fertility and the terrestrial food chain. Earthworms have also been used extensively for assessing environmental risk and chemical toxicity in laboratory and field settings. In the past two decades, a comprehensive set of transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and bioinformatic tools have been developed and applied to assess ecological impacts of contaminated soils on earthworms. In this review, we summarize recent progress made in earthworm toxicogenomics, with an emphasis on earthworm toxicotranscriptomics, examine novel biomarkers discovered and mechanistic insights gained through toxicogenomics studies, discuss currently existing technical hurdles to be resolved in order to move ahead, and finally provide some remarks on the future perspectives of this interdisciplinary and promising field.

JO - Applied Soil Ecology JF - Applied Soil Ecology Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 104 M3 - Article SP - 25 EP - 30 SN - 09291393 AB - We investigated the bioconcentration potential of nitrogen-based compounds 4-nitroanisole (4-NAN), 3,5-dinitro- o -toluamide (3,5-DN o TAME), and 2-methoxy-5 nitropyridine (2-M-5-NPYNE) using earthworm Eisenia andrei exposures in aqueous exposure media in sand. Separate toxicity studies were conducted prior to bioconcentration studies using a range of chemical concentrations to establish the sublethal exposure conditions for the earthworms. The objectives of the present studies were to: (1) develop an experimental test system for estimating bioconcentration potentials of new and emerging munition compounds that partition into earthworms, using aqueous exposure media; and (2) apply this experimental model to establish original bioconcentration data for 4-NAN, 3,5-DN o TAME, and 2-M-5-NPYNE. Experimental design includes earthworm exposures to chemicals for up to 14 days in aqueous media (Römbke medium; 0.08 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl 2 , 0.5 mM MgSO 4 , and 0.8 mM NaHCO 3 ) in the presence of water-washed coarse sand (0.5–1.0 mm) substrate. Concentrations of test chemicals in respective exposure media remained relatively stable during these independent studies. Tissue analyses revealed a rapid uptake of each chemical by the earthworms; a steady state was attained within 24 h from commencement of these exposures. Estimated steady-state bioconcentration factors (BCF ss ; mL/g dry tissue) were 47, 6, and 11 for 4-NAN, 3,5-DN o TAME, and 2-M-5-NPYNE, respectively. These results will contribute to the BCF database being developed for use in models aimed at predicting environmentally significant parameters for new munition compounds in soil.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 52 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 993 EP - 1008 SN - 1093474X AB - Sensors and enabling technologies are becoming increasingly important tools for water quality monitoring and associated water resource management decisions. In particular, nutrient sensors are of interest because of the well-known adverse effects of nutrient enrichment on coastal hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and impacts to human health. Accurate and timely information on nutrient concentrations and loads is integral to strategies designed to minimize risk to humans and manage the underlying drivers of water quality impairment. Using nitrate sensors as the primary example, we highlight the types of applications in freshwater and coastal environments that are likely to benefit from continuous, real-time nutrient data. The concurrent emergence of new tools to integrate, manage, and share large datasets is critical to the successful use of nutrient sensors and has made it possible for the field of continuous monitoring to rapidly move forward. We highlight several near-term opportunities for federal agencies, as well as the broader scientific and management community, that will help accelerate sensor development, build and leverage sites within a national network, and develop open data standards and data management protocols that are key to realizing the benefits of a large-scale, integrated monitoring network. Investing in these opportunities will provide new information to guide management and policies designed to protect and restore our nation's water resources.

The polymers were brominated by bromine using carbon tetrachloride or potassium tribromide as solvents, with bromine loadings ranging from 1.6 to 4.2 mEq/g of polymer. B. anthracis Sterne spores were exposed to increasing concentrations of brominated polymers for 5 min, while the kinetics of the sporicidal activity was assessed. All brominated polymers demonstrated spore log-kills of 8 within 5 min of exposure at 12 mg/mL aqueous polymer concentration. Sensing of spores was accomplished by measuring the release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) from the spore using time-resolved fluorescence. Parent, non-brominated polymers did not cause any release of DPA and the spores remained viable. In contrast, spores exposed to the brominated polymers were inactivated and the release of DPA was observed within minutes of exposure. Also, this release of DPA continued for a long time after spore inactivation as in a controlled release process. The DPA release was more pronounced for spores exposed to brominated PVP and brominated PEG-8000 compared to brominated PAAm-APy and brominated PEG-400. Using time-resolved fluorescence, we detected as low as 2500 B. anthracis spores, with PEG-8000 being more sensitive to low spore numbers. Our results suggest that the brominated polymers may be used effectively as decontamination agents against bacterial spores while also providing the sensing capability.

As physics-based methods for modeling soil are developed, it is necessary to validate these simulations against databases relating Cone Index (CI) to vehicle mobility. However, in order to make this comparison, the relationship between the engineering properties of the soil (density, bulk modulus) and the cone index must be determined. To that end, in this work, simulations of cone penetrometer tests in cohesive soil using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method are presented. Three dimensional simulations were conducted and compared to laboratory measurements of cone index in soft soil. The SPH model is parametrized using the elastic moduli of the soil (bulk and shear modulus), the soil density, and the soil cohesion. A novel method which includes skin friction is employed to calculate the forces exerted on the cone tip by the soil. The simulations give good agreement with the measurements, with a coefficient of determination R 2 = 0.76 . These results indicate that SPH may be viable for simulating soft soil in conditions relevant for vehicle mobility considerations.

Rubber deposits accumulate on runway areas where aircraft tires touchdown and braking occurs. This tire-rubber build-up occludes pavement microtexture and macrotexture, causing a significant loss in available skid resistance during wet conditions. Reduction of available pavement microtexture in a wet environment prevents the development of adhesional friction, which can result in viscous hydroplaning. Reduction of pavement macrotexture prevents the removal of bulk water from the tire–pavement contact area and also prevents the development of the hysteresis frictional component. To restore friction to safe levels for aircraft operations, rubber must be periodically removed. Several techniques for rubber removal are available. Water-blasting is a proven surface decontamination technique which employs the use of high-pressure or ultrahigh- pressure water (UHPW) to blast rubber deposits from the runway surface. This effort provides a performance-based comparison between three commercially available UHPW water-blasting systems. The evaluation was conducted on an ungrooved portland cement concrete (PCC) runway with heavy rubber contamination along the touchdown and breaking zones. Several types of testing equipment such as a circular track meter (CTM) and dynamic friction tester (DFT) were used to characterize the surface properties of the runway before and after rubber removal. The measurements were used for statistical pairwise comparative analysis of International Friction Index (IFI), speed constant and mean profile depth (MPD). Treatment effect analysis of premeasured and postmeasured data revealed that UHPW systems improved the surface texture properties by at least 40% regardless of the decontamination equipment.

These projects, most of them intensely local in focus, reconfigure selective aspects of different "pasts" for strategic use in the present. Government- approved memory projects exhibit similar patterns. However, some of them openly diverge from official narratives of patriotic resistance. The project featured in this essay--the creation of an archive to document the Great Famine (1944-45) by a joint Vietnamese-Japanese research commission--is such an example. Close attention to the methodological procedures used to assemble this archive, which is highly unorthodox in form and content, provides insights into how historical evidence is fashioned rather than found in the Vietnamese context. The details reveal partial silences in four thematic areas: (1) the allocation of blame, (2) the suppression of sentiment in oral form, (3) the depersonalization of suffering in visual form, and (4) the comparative absence of organized resistance. Close attention to these elisions explains why the Great Famine and the hungry ghosts it produced continue to resist incorporation into state-approved histories of the "exceptional dead," who sacrificed their lives to defend the "nation" from foreign aggressors.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 44 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2076 EP - 2080 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Minimizing gap formation and maximizing the strength of patellar tendon repairs are 2 critical factors for successful healing of these injuries. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare transosseous and screw-in anchor repair techniques to determine if there is a difference in gap formation and load to failure of the 2 constructs. The research hypotheses were that the anchor construct would have significantly less gap formation and would also have significantly greater load-to-failure strength. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 24 porcine specimens were randomly assigned into transosseous and 4.75-mm polyetheretherketone (PEEK) screw-in anchor repair groups. The repairs were then completed using 2 No. 2 FiberWire sutures, and each specimen was cyclically loaded on a tensile test machine to 250 N for a total of 1000 cycles. Gap formation was measured at 1, 10, 250, 500, and 1000 cycles. Each specimen was loaded to failure after 1000 cycles. Independent t tests were conducted. Results: Statistically significant gap formation and load-to-failure differences were found between the 2 repair techniques. The mean gap in the anchor group (2.16 ± 1.81 mm) was significantly less than that seen in the transosseous group (5.71 ± 1.58 mm) (P < .001). The mean load to failure of the anchor group (669.9 ± 91.8 N) was significantly higher than that of the transosseous group (582.8 ± 92.6 N) (P = .03). Conclusion: The results support the 2 study hypotheses. These findings suggest that the 4.75-mm PEEK screw-in anchor construct may be superior to the transosseous technique for minimizing gap formation and improving load-to-failure strength after surgical repair of the patellar tendon. Clinical Relevance: The use of the suture anchor technique in patellar tendon repair may support early load-bearing rehabilitation.

JO - Journal of Cave & Karst Studies JF - Journal of Cave & Karst Studies Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 78 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 93 SN - 10906924 AB - Radiometric 210Pb dating, metal concentrations [As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn] and nitrogen-isotope (γ15N) analyses were conducted on a sediment core from an ombrotrophic karst sinkhole fen in South Carolina, USA, to obtain a historical record of nitrogen signatures and atmospherically deposited metals from increased anthropogenic emissions during the last several decades. Sinkhole fens in carbonate karst terrains are excellent environs for sediment core dating and metal analysis due to the low background metal concentrations in carbonates, as well as the alkaline nature of carbonates and the high organic-matter content in fens, both of which reduce mobility of metals in soils. Metal concentrations were found for the top twenty 1 cm intervals of the core and the bottom at 56 cm. Intervals 21-55 cm were analyzed only for Hg and organic-matter content due to financial constraints. The sinkhole fen in the study is ombrotrophic and receives metal inputs primarily through wet and dry atmospheric deposition, and the 20 cm deep sample had a 210Pb CRS age of 1954. Metals with significant (p , 0.05) negative correlations with core depth were (negative correlation, sample size): Hg (-0.8948, n 5 56), Pb (-0.9308, n 5 21), Zn (-0.6299, n 5 21), Cd (-0.5023, n 5 21), and Cu (-0.5156, n 5 21). In view of the low background concentrations of these five metals from limestone found in the sinkhole, atmospheric deposition from anthropogenic emissions is likely the predominant source for these increasing concentrations. As (+0.4431, n 5 21) had a significant (p , 0.05) positive correlation with core depth, while Cr (+0.2761, n 5 21) was the only metal with no significant correlation with core depth. Although γ15N is shown in other studies to deplete upward in sediment cores due to increasing reactive nitrogen emissions, the sinkhole core in this study had no significant correlation (+0.2580, n 5 21) between γ15N and depth. Total carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and organic-matter content were also measured in intervals 1-20 and 56 cm and found to have several significant (p , 0.05) correlations with depth, metals, and γ15N.

JO - Cement & Concrete Composites JF - Cement & Concrete Composites Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 71 M3 - Article SP - 53 EP - 62 SN - 09589465 AB - This paper presents results from an experimental investigation that evaluated the mechanical activation of portland cement using vibro-milling. In this investigation, the duration of the vibro-milling was systematically varied and its influence was evaluated using mortar samples. In addition, the amount of activated cement used in the mortar samples was varied and evaluated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate differences in hydration products and the structure of activated cement and mortars. The activated cements were tested to determine the influence of activation on the rate of hydration and compressive strength development. The test results suggested that the use of mechanical activation can improve early-age structure formations and compressive strength. A 32% and 25% increase in 1-day strength were observed for the systems with Type I and Class H cements, respectively. This increase in 28-day strength was 16% and 58% for Type I and Class H cement, respectively. It was observed that longer milling times did not necessarily improve performance, and 15 min appeared to be sufficient vibro-milling time to provide valuable benefits.

JO - Journal of Mathematical Physics JF - Journal of Mathematical Physics Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 57 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 SN - 00222488 AB - Atom waveguides are used to manipulate cold atoms in atom interferometers. The creation of atom interferometers using cold atoms in miniature magnetic waveguides is one of many goals of current atom chip research. To achieve a complete understanding of atom propagation in a complicated device such as a guided atom interferometer, a detailed understanding of the ground state and other nearby states is needed. The Frobenius series solutions for the bounded transverse modes of an atomic waveguide are presented here and arbitrary precision arithmetic is used to evaluate the series solutions without roundoff errors. The waveguide potential considered is an infinitely long quadrupole magnetic potential as used in various atom chip waveguides. The simplest case of a guided spin-1/2 particle is presented here. However, the basic series techniques can be extended to both higher order multipole potentials and higher spin particles, including atoms with hyperfine splitting. The low-field and the high-field seeking states together form the spectrum of the waveguide Hamiltonian. In the limit where the transverse dimension of the guide tends to infinity, the spectrum of the guide changes from a discrete set of low- and high-field seeking states to a continuum of high-field seeking states embedded with a discrete set of low-field seeking states. Although the low-field seeking states are not truly bound, the system is an approximate example of bound states in a continuum first discussed by von Neumann and Wigner. Depending on boundary conditions, the solutions form either a discrete set or a continuum of orthogonal waveguide modes. These are useful for further analysis of ideal waveguide behavior as well as the detailed perturbation studies necessary for analysis of atomic waveguide interferometers.

JO - Molecules JF - Molecules Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 21 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 SN - 14203049 AB - Microfabricated devices have increasingly incorporated bacterial cells for microscale studies and exploiting cell-based functions in situ. However, the role of surface interactions in controlling the bacterial cell behavior is not well understood. In this study, microfluidic substrates of varied bacterial-binding affinity were used to probe the interaction-driven behavior of filamentous Escherichia coli. In particular, cell alignment under controlled shear flow as well as subsequent orientation and filamentation were compared between cells presenting distinct outer membrane phenotypes. We demonstrated that filaments retained position under flow, which allowed for dynamic single-cell monitoring with in situ elongation of over 100 μm for adherent cells. This maximum was not reached by planktonic cells and was, therefore, adhesion-dependent. The bound filaments initially aligned with flow under a range of flow rates and their continual elongation was traced in terms of length and growth path; analysis demonstrated that fimbriae-mediated adhesion increased growth rate, increased terminal length, as well as dramatically changed the adherent geometry, particularly buckling behavior. The effects to filament length and buckling were further exaggerated by the strongest, specificity-driven adhesion tested. Such surface-guided control of the elongation process may be valuable to yield interesting "living" filamentous structures in microdevices. In addition, this work may offer a biomedically relevant platform for further elucidation of filamentation as an immune-resistant morphology. Overall, this work should inspire broader exploration of microfabricated devices for the study and application of single bacterial cells.

JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 322 M3 - Article SP - 99 EP - 105 SN - 03787753 AB - Lithium nitrate (LiNO 3 ) is the most studied additive and co-salt for the electrolyte of lithium-sulfur (Li–S) batteries, its known function is to suppress the redox shuttle of soluble lithium polysulfide (PS, Li 2 S n ), which reflects as an increase in the battery’s coulombic efficiency and cycling stability, as well as a reduced self-discharge rate. The current understanding on this function is that LiNO 3 reacts with Li to form a robust surface layer that consequently protects the Li anode from reacting with the dissolved PS. However, little is known on the sulfur cathode except that LiNO 3 reduces and adversely affects the battery’s performance when the battery is discharged to lower than 1.7 V. In this paper we report a new finding on the role of LiNO 3 in enabling the stable cycling of the sulfur cathode. We show that LiNO 3 is capable of catalyzing the conversion of high soluble PS to slightly soluble elemental sulfur near the end of charging process, and that the combination of a soluble nitrate in the electrolyte and an insoluble nitrate in the sulfur cathode leads to synergetic improvement. In addition, a possible mechanism is proposed for the catalysis of LiNO 3 on the conversion of PS to elemental sulfur.

The fiber and matrix phases in the model are assumed to be elastic with their interfaces represented by potential-based and non-potential, rate-dependent cohesive zone models. Damage, leading to failure, in the fiber and matrix phases is modeled by a rate-dependent non-local scalar CDM model. The interface and damage models are calibrated using experimental results available in the literature, as well as from those conducted in this work. A limited number of tests are conducted with a cruciform specimen that is fabricated to characterize interfacial damage behavior. Validation studies are subsequently conducted by comparing results of FEM simulations with cruciform and from micro-droplet experiments. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to investigate the effect of mesh, material parameters and strain rate on the evolution of damage. Furthermore, their effect on partitions of the overall energy are also explored. Finally the paper examines the effect of microstructural morphology on the evolution of damage and its path.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 142 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 07339364 AB - "The Oops Game" explores the question, how much should be invested in planning? The simulation offers the opportunity to reduce the risk of an "Oops" by collecting more information or to go ahead and make the choice with the information at hand. There are two extreme strategies. Nothing is invested in planning in the so-called Guts-ball approach, but this increases the likelihood that an "Oops" will occur and thus increases the cost to complete the project. The second strategy is to invest in planning before attempting to build. This will increase the cost of planning upfront, but may reduce the risk and cost of an "Oops" in building. In reality, the cost and value of planning depends on the complexity level of the project, the amount of uncertainty that we need to deal with it, and the cost of an "Oops." We used computer simulation to show how the value of planning is sensitive to those factors. The results showed that the project with the reliable planning strategy had a 35% higher productivity and a cost-benefit ratio of 13:1. The contribution to the body of knowledge of "The Oops Game" lies in providing a simple and effective means to show the value of planning to construction practitioners and students. The findings from this research fill in the gap of knowledge in quantifying the value of plan under different circumstance for construction projects. .

JO - International Journal of Geographical Information Science JF - International Journal of Geographical Information Science Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 30 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1667 EP - 1686 SN - 13658816 AB - The emerging ubiquity of geospatial information is providing an unprecedented opportunity to apply Geographical Information Systems (GIS)-based multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to a broad spectrum of use cases. Volunteered geographic information, open GIS software, geoservice-based tools, cloud-based virtualized platforms, and worldwide collaboration of both domain experts and general users have greatly increased the quantity and accessibility of geospatially referenced data resources. Currently, there is a lack of GIS-based MCDA tools that integrate this decision-driven process within a widely accessible, robust geoframework environment, designed for user-friendly interaction. In this contribution, we present a conceptual workflow and proof-of-concept software application, Geocentric Environment for Analysis and Reasoning (GEAR), which provides a viable transition path to enhance geospatial MCDA in the age of open GIS. We propose a Web-based platform that leverages open-source geotechnologies to incorporate a wide variety of geospatial data formats in a common solution space to allow for spatially enhanced and time-relevant decision analysis. Through the proposed workflow, a user can ingest and modify heterogeneous data formats, exploit temporally tagged data sources, create multicriteria decision analysis models, and visualize the results in an iterative and collaborative workspace. A sample case study applied to disaster relief is used to demonstrate the prototype and workflow. This proof-of-concept Web-based application provides a notional pathway of how to connect open-source data to open-source analysis through a geospatially enabled MCDA workflow that could be virtually accessible to many levels of decision makers from individuals to entire organizations.

JO - Applied Spectroscopy JF - Applied Spectroscopy Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 70 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1339 EP - 1345 SN - 00037028 AB - Raman spectra for various nitramine energetic compounds were investigated as a function of crystal size at the nanoscale regime. In the case of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), there was a linear relationship between intensity of Raman spectra and crystal size. Notably, the Raman modes between 120 cm-1 and 220 cm-1 were especially affected, and at the smallest crystal size, were completely eliminated. The Raman spectral intensity of octahydro- 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), like that of CL-20's, depended linearly on crystal size. The Raman spectral intensity of 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), however, was not observably changed by crystal size. A nonnitramine explosive compound, 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5- trinitrobenzene (TATB), was also investigated. Its spectral intensity was also found to correlate linearly with crystal size, although substantially less so than that of HMX and CL-20. To explain the observed trends, it is hypothesized that disordered molecular arrangement, originating from the crystal surface, may be responsible. In particular, it appears that the thickness of the disordered surface layer is dependent on molecular characteristics, including size and conformational flexibility. Furthermore, as the mean crystal size decreases, the volume fraction of disordered molecules within a specimen increases, consequently, weakening the Raman intensity. These results could have practical benefit for allowing the facile monitoring of crystal size during manufacturing. Finally, these findings could lead to deep insights into the general structure of the surface of crystals.

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 54 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2233 EP - 2246 SN - 00011452 AB - Rapid sensing of body motions is critical to stabilizing a flight vehicle in the presence of exogenous disturbances as well as providing high-performance tracking of desired control commands. This bandwidth requirement becomes more stringent as vehicle scale decreases. Many flying insects employ distributed networks of acceleration-sensitive sensors to provide information about body egomotion to rapidly detect forces and torques. In this work, a method for rapid sensing of force and torque using a distributed array of accelerometers, arbitrarily placed and rigidly affixed to a vehicle airframe, was developed. Simulations of the sensor array were performed to quantify the effects of sensor noise, sensor position error, and sensor number on acceleration state estimates. A hardware implementation of this distributed sensor array was designed and integrated into the avionics of a small quadrotor vehicle. The response of the array to induced acceleration stimuli was characterized. A linear state estimation matrix was derived from the calibration to directly estimate the total forces and torques exerted on the airframe. A force-adaptive control law utilizing the force and torque estimates provided by the sensor network was implemented to improve tracking of reference states while rejecting exogenous force and torque disturbances. Successful rejection of disturbances in the form of internal actuator variation and external wind gusts was demonstrated on the quadrotor vehicle in flight.

The boron carbide grains have close to B4C stoichiometry, and most of them have no planar defects. The most prominent second phase is intergranular graphite inclusions that are surrounded by multiple boron carbide grains. Submicrometer intragranular and intergranular BN and AlN precipitates were also observed. In addition, fine dispersions of AlN nanoprecipitates were observed in some but not all grains. No intergranular films were found. These microstructural characteristics are compared with the lab-consolidated boron carbide and their effects on the mechanical properties of boron carbide are addressed.

An analogous transverse shear scrolling method generates Archimedean spiral fibers that demonstrate exotic, telescoping elongation at break of 110%, or 30 times greater than Kevlar. Both composites retain anisotropic electrical conduction along the graphene planar axis and transparency.These composites promise substantial mechanical reinforcement, electrical, and optical properties at highly reduced volume fraction.

T1 - Evaluation of Biostimulation and Bioaugmentation To Stimulate Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5,-triazine Degradation in an Aerobic Groundwater Aquifer. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2016/07/19/ VL - 50 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 7625 EP - 7632 SN - 0013936X AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5,-triazine (RDX) is a toxic and mobile groundwater contaminant common to military sites. This study compared in situ RDX degradation rates following bioaugmentation with Gordonia sp. strain KTR9 (henceforth KTR9) to rates under biostimulation conditions in an RDX-contaminated aquifer in Umatilla, OR. Bioaugmentation was achieved by injecting site groundwater (6000 L) amended with KTR9 cells (108 cells mL-1) and low carbon substrate concentrations (<1 mM fructose) into site wells. Biostimulation (no added cells) was performed by injecting groundwater amended with low (<1 mM fructose) or high (>15 mM fructose) carbon substrate concentrations in an effort to stimulate aerobic or anaerobic microbial activity, respectively. Single-well push-pull tests were conducted to measure RDX degradation rates for each treatment. Average rate coefficients were 1.2 day-1 for bioaugmentation and 0.7 day-1 for high carbon biostimulation; rate coefficients for low carbon biostimulation were not significantly different from zero (p values ≽0.060). Our results suggest that bioaugmentation with KTR9 is a feasible strategy for in situ biodegradation of RDX and, at this site, is capable of achieving RDX concentration reductions comparable to those obtained by high carbon biostimulation while requiring ~97% less fructose. Bioaugmentation has potential to minimize substrate quantities and associated costs, as well as secondary groundwater quality impacts associated with anaerobic biostimulation processes (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, methane production) during full-scale RDX remediation.

We show how the enhancement of the EWF contributes to the observed improvement of the hardness of Al Mn solid solutions. It is understood that the physical mechanisms responsible in our model, using the EWF coupled with a power law scaled hardness, are attributed to the redistribution of electrons caused by the presence of Mn solute atoms, supporting an atomic and electronic basis for the coupling of solid solution and grain refinement strengthening mechanisms.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2016/07/11/ VL - 95 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 61 SN - 00323861 AB - The use of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy as a technique for probing and interpretation of the molecular dynamics in select ultrahigh molecular weight poly(ethylene) (UHMWPE) fibers based prepreg materials is investigated. In particular, ssNMR is used to differentiate the influence of molecular dynamics associated with matrix elastomers. Polyurethane and Kraton ® based elastomers are used in commercial UHMWPE prepregs. The 1 H wideline spectra clearly revealed greater mobility associated with the molecular dynamics of Kraton ® elastomers than that of polyurethane; this is consistent when comparing prepregs from different manufacturers. These observations corroborate well with the extent of back face deformation in UHMWPE composites when engaged by projectiles, where polyurethane matrix elastomers exhibit greater resistance. Select bulk elastomers were also considered to highlight the dynamic stiffening characteristics associated with matrix elastomers, where results further substantiate the importance of the molecular attributes on the overall dynamic deformation response in these composites.

JO - Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry JF - Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2016/07/07/ VL - 45 IS - 25 M3 - Article SP - 10326 EP - 10342 SN - 14779226 AB - [Co(dmgBF2)2(H2O)2] 1 (where dmgBF2 = difluoroboryldimethylglyoximato) was used to synthesize [Co(dmgBF2)2(H2O)(py)]·0.5(CH3)2CO 2 (where py = pyridine) in acetone. The formulation of complex 2 was confirmed by elemental analysis, high resolution MS, and various spectroscopic techniques. The complex [Co(dmgBF2)2(solv)(py)] (where solv = solvent) was readily formed in situ upon the addition of pyridine to complex 1. A spectrophotometric titration involving complex 1 and pyridine proved the formation of such a species, with formation constants, log K = 5.5, 5.1, 5.0, 4.4, and 3.1 in 2-butanone, dichloromethane, acetone, 1,2-difluorobenzene/acetone (4 : 1, v/v), and acetonitrile, respectively, at 20 °C. In strongly coordinating solvents, such as acetonitrile, the lower magnitude of K along with cyclic voltammetry, NMR, and UV-visible spectroscopic measurements indicated extensive dissociation of the axial pyridine. In strongly coordinating solvents, [Co(dmgBF2)2(solv)(py)] can only be distinguished from [Co(dmgBF2)2(solv)2] upon addition of an excess of pyridine, however, in weakly coordinating solvents the distinctions were apparent without the need for excess pyridine. The coordination of pyridine to the cobalt(ii) centre diminished the peak current at the Epc value of the CoI/0 redox couple, which was indicative of the relative position of the reaction equilibrium. Herein we report the first experimental and theoretical 59Co NMR spectroscopic data for the formation of Co(i) species of reduced cobaloximes in the presence and absence of py (and its derivatives) in CD3CN. From spectroelectrochemical studies, it was found that pyridine coordination to a cobalt(i) metal centre is more favourable than coordination to a cobalt(ii) metal centre as evident by the larger formation constant, log K = 4.6 versus 3.1, respectively, in acetonitrile at 20 °C. The electrosynthesis of hydrogen by complexes 1 and 2 in various solvents demonstrated the dramatic effects of the axial ligand and the solvent on the turnover number of the respective catalyst.

We show that the movement direction has little relationship with the particle size and manipulating beam's parameters but is dominated by the particle's orientation and morphology. With this observation, the controllable optical manipulation is now able to be generalized to arbitrary particles, including irregularly shaped absorbing particles that are shown in this work.

Data sets this large are required to study crack propagation and failure mechanisms that span multiple length scales with atomic resolution. The DAAC developed new methods to visualize the time evolution of data sets this large. The size and complexity of the molecular dynamics simulations and the analytics required the use of DOD HPCMP High Performance Computing (HPC) resources.

In the first part, a constitutive model for quasi-static deformations of soft tissues is presented, in which a soft tissue is simulated as a transversely isotropic hyperelastic material composed of a matrix and reinforcing fibers. The strain energy density function for the soft tissue is additively decomposed into two terms: a neo-Hookean function for the base matrix, and a polyconvex polynomial function of four invariants for the fibers. A comparison with existing experimental data for porcine brain tissues and bovine pericardium shows that this new model can well represent the quasi-static mechanical behavior of soft tissues. In the second part, a viscous potential is proposed to describe the rate-dependent short-term memory effects, resulting in a visco-hyperelastic constitutive model. This model is tested for a range of strain rates from 0.1 /s to 90 /s and for multiple loading scenarios based on available experimental data for porcine and human brain tissues. The model can be applied to other soft tissues by using different values of material and fitting parameters.

Both eyes of 18 Dutch Belted rabbits were exposed to various survivable low-level blast overpressures in a large-scale shock tube simulating a primary blast similar to an improvised explosive device. Eyes of the blast-exposed rabbits (as well as five control rabbits) were thoroughly examined before and after blast to detect changes. Clinically significant changes in corneal thickness arose immediately after blast and were sustained through 48 h, suggesting possible disruption of endothelial function. Retinal thickness (RT) increased with increasing specific impulse immediately after exposure. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was inversely correlated with the specific impulse of the blast wave. These findings clearly indicate that survivable primary blast causes ocular injuries with likely visual functional sequelae of clinical and military relevance.

TIM assemblies have emerged as a class of architectured materials with mechanical properties not ordinarily found in monolithic solids. These properties include, but are not limited to, high damage tolerance, damage confinement, adaptability, and multifunctionality. The review paper provides an overview of recent research findings on TIM manufacturing and TIM mechanics. We review several manufacturing approaches. Assembly manufacturing processes employ the concept of scaffold as a unifying theme. Scaffolds are understood as auxiliary support structures employed in the manufacturing of TIM systems. It is demonstrated that the scaffold can take multiple forms. Alternatively, processes of segmentation are discussed and demonstrated. The review on mechanical property characteristics links the manufacturing approaches to several relevant material configurations and details recent findings on quasi-static and impact loading, and on multifunctional response.

The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) Prevention Practice Committee is an active participant in the Choosing Wisely project. The committee created the ACPM Choosing Wisely Task Force to lead the development of ACPM's recommendations with the intention of facilitating wise decisions about the appropriate use of preventive care. After utilizing an iterative process that involved reviewing evidence-based literature, the ACPM Choosing Wisely Task Force developed five recommendations targeted toward overused services within the field of preventive medicine. These include: (1) don't take a multivitamin, vitamin E, or beta carotene to prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer; (2) don't routinely perform prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer; (3) don't use whole-body scans for early tumor detection in asymptomatic patients; (4) don't use expensive medications when an equally effective and lower-cost medication is available; and (5) don't perform screening for cervical cancer in low-risk women aged 65 years or older and in women who have had a total hysterectomy for benign disease. The Task Force also reviewed some of the barriers to implementing these recommendations, taking into account the interplay between system and environmental characteristics, and identified specific strategies necessary for timely utilization of these recommendations.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 44 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1687 EP - 1693 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: No study has attempted to associate the levels of preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover with the subsequent risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Hypothesis: Preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover would be associated with the subsequent risk of ACL injury. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We conducted a case-control study with 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 controls matched for sex, age, height, and weight. In addition to the matching criteria, controls had no history of major joint injury. Baseline preinjury serum samples were obtained from the Department of Defense Serum Repository for all subjects. Samples were assessed for 2 serum biomarkers of collagen synthesis (CPII and CS846) and 2 markers of collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) through commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. All ELISAs were performed in triplicate. Conditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Univariate results suggested that both biomarkers for collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) were significantly associated with the subsequent likelihood of ACL injury. Serum C2C and C1,2C concentration at baseline were associated with odds ratios (ORs) of 2.05 (95% CI, 1.30-3.23; P = .001) and 3.02 (95% CI, 1.60-5.71; P = .002), respectively. Baseline serum CPII concentrations were also associated with subsequent ACL injury. Serum CPII concentration at baseline was associated with an OR of 4.41 (95% CI, 1.87-10.38; P = .001). Baseline serum CS846 levels approached significance (OR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.57-1.03; P = .080). Multivariable models suggested that preinjury CPII and C2C concentrations at baseline are important indicators of subsequent ACL injury risk. Conclusion: Preinjury differences in serum biomarker levels of collagen turnover suggest that collagen metabolism in individuals who go on to tear an ACL may be different when compared with a matched control group with no history of major joint injury. These differences may be reflective of different preinjury biochemical and/or biomechanical risk profiles or genetic factors that subsequently affect both collagen metabolism and ACL injury risk.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 53 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1087 EP - 1105 SN - 00218669 AB - This work provides an overview of the grid quality and resolution effects on the aerodynamic modeling of ram-air parachute canopies. The computational-fluid-dynamics simulations of this work were performed using the Cobalt flow solver, which is a three-dimensional code, but it was run in a two-dimensional mode for canopy sections with open and closed inlets. Previous simulation results of these geometries showed that grid independence is achieved for the closed and open airfoils with grids containing around half a million and 2 million cells, respectively. Previous grids were either hybrid with prismatic layers near the walls or multiblock structured using algebraic grid generators. The results presented in this work show that grid independence of both geometries can be achieved with much coarser grids. These grids, however, were generated with good smoothness, wall orthogonality, and skewness qualities. The results show that the grid quality value is mainly related to the grid smoothness and does not depend on the grid skewness or the wall orthogonality. Although a smooth grid improves the quality value, and therefore the solution convergence, it does not always lead to an accurate solution. For example, the unstructured grids with anisotropic cells near the wall have very good grid quality; however, they have the worst accuracy among all grids considered because of the poor skewness at the walls. The results also showed that, in comparison to the closed inlets, the open geometry solutions are less sensitive to the initial grid spacing and number of constant spacing layers at the outside airfoil walls. Finally, the open inlet solutions do not change with the inside airfoil grid resolution and type.

JO - Journal of Engineering Mechanics JF - Journal of Engineering Mechanics Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 142 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 07339399 AB - Higher-order elements frequently render accurate results and allow the reduction of the total number of elements required to represent a given structure. However, element order also affects the efficient time-history integration of the associated equations of motion in Lagrangian dynamics by an explicit method, which is only conditionally stable. The integration time step is affected by element type and must be sufficiently small to avoid instability of the computed solution and, simultaneously, should be sufficiently large for an economic analysis. The upper bound to the size of this step in an analysis is rigorously obtained from the solution of the eigenvalue problem to the global system of equations of the entire finite-element model. Common alternatives to this computation are to approximate the time step by much simpler one-dimensional node-to-node or individual elemental eigenvalue approaches. Robust higher-order finite-element formulations have recently been developed for explicit integration, but time-step determinations have been primarily limited to the one-dimensional approach. In this paper, the individual elemental eigenvalue approach is further used to study the critical time step for several practical higher-order element types (27-node bricks, 16-node thin plates, 15-node tetrahedra, and 21-node wedges). Parametric studies on the variables controlling their critical time steps are discussed.

JO - Remote Sensing JF - Remote Sensing Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 8 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 22 SN - 20724292 AB - Nesting habitat for the federally endangered loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) were designated as critical in 2014 for beaches along the Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico. Nesting suitability is routinely determined based on site specific information. Given the expansive geographic location of the designated critical C. caretta nesting habitat and the highly dynamic coastal environment, understanding nesting suitability on a regional scale is essential for monitoring the changing status of the coast as a result of hydrodynamic forces and maintenance efforts. The increasing spatial resolution and temporal frequency of remote sensing data offers the opportunity to study this dynamic environment on a regional scale. Remote sensing data were used as input into the spatially-explicit, multi-criteria decision support model to determine nesting habitat suitability. Results from the study indicate that the morphological parameters used as input into the model are well suited to provide a regional level approach with the results from the optimized model having sensitivity and detection prevalence values greater than 80% and the detection rate being greater than 70%. The approach can be implemented in various geographic locations to better communicate priorities and evaluate management strategies as a result of changes to the dynamic coastal environment.

The aerodynamic coefficients were computed via time-accurate Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes numerical methods, and they were compared with archival wind-tunnel data. Fair to excellent comparisons with the experiment were obtained for the coefficients for the full angle-of-attack range, except for the axial force, which was overpredicted at higher angles of attack. Numerical modeling parameter studies were conducted to include dependence on spin rate, grid resolution, temporal resolution, and other numerical convergence parameters.

The Paradox of Hungarian Cultural Imperialism in Nazi New Order Europe, 1939–42. JO - Journal of Contemporary History JF - Journal of Contemporary History Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 577 EP - 605 SN - 00220094 AB - This article investigates the flooding of the Yugoslav film market by Hungarian features between 1939 and 1941, the impact of which continued well into 1942. This torrent and the simultaneous expansion of Hungary’s domestic market substantially influenced not only the Hungarian film industry, but surprisingly the cultural politics of southeastern Europe during the early imposition of the Nazi New Order. Viewing Hungarian cinematic success through the lens and rhetoric of cultural imperialism, the article examines the centrality of Jewish participation in and expulsion from Hungarian cultural production, Hungary’s perception of its role in southeastern Europe, and Nazi Germany’s understanding of Hungarian film as an existential threat to its European New Order. By ‘Europeanizing’ Hungary’s venture in Yugoslavia, the article opens new avenues of thought about the space afforded to small states in Nazi-dominated Europe. It explains how Hungary’s achievements in Yugoslavia reinvigorated a faltering industry and allowed Hungary’s film establishment the fantasy of perceiving itself, and being perceived by others, as possessing imperial prestige and power. It reveals the malleability of national identities, describing how these identities transformed when crossing borders. Finally, it demonstrates the importance of cultural politics in Nazi thinking, and that force and coercion were central to the New Order at an earlier stage than previously acknowledged.

This can be attributed to many factors, including complexity, how to gather data and develop probabilistic inputs, cost of SBC software, and a lack of understanding of the benefits of developing cost versus risk profiles. This article presents an overview of how SBC can be effectively utilized for early phase life cycle cost (LCC) estimation. A formal process for conducting LCC incorporating SBC is presented not only to provide a structured approach but to also convey to stakeholders how such a study is conducted. This article also presents a case study where total ownership cost versus risk profiles were developed using this proposed process in order to support budgetary and planning considerations for a large environmental remediation project. This research argues that SBC is needed during the concept exploration phase because this is when budgets are often fixed and expectations set.

Due to the availability of compact lasers and sensitive detectors, systems typically operate at 785 nm. However, the Raman return at this wavelength can still be obscured by fluorescent impurities in the targeted materials or their matrices. To potentially mitigate this shortcoming, a prototype dual-wavelength Raman incorporating both 785- and 1064-nm excitations was developed and assessed at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center. The results of that evaluation are discussed here.

JO - Review of Scientific Instruments JF - Review of Scientific Instruments Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 87 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 075104-1 EP - 075104-9 SN - 00346748 AB - Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is used to detect chemical warfare agents, explosives, and narcotics. While IMS has a low rate of false positives, their occurrence causes the loss of time and money as the alarm is verified. Because numerous variables affect the reduced mobility (K0) of an ion, wide detection windows are required in order to ensure a low false negative response rate. Wide detection windows, however, reduce response selectivity, and interferents with similar K0 values may be mistaken for targeted compounds and trigger a false positive alarm. Detection windows could be narrowed if reference K0 values were accurately known for specific instrumental conditions. Unfortunately, there is a lack of confidence in the literature values due to discrepancies in the reported K0 values and their lack of reported error. This creates the need for the accurate control and measurement of each variable affecting ion mobility, as well as for a central accurate IMS database for reference and calibration. A new ion mobility spectrometer has been built that reduces the error of measurements affecting K0 by an order of magnitude less than ±0.2%. Precise measurements of ±0.002 cm2 V-1 s-1 or better have been produced and, as a result, an unexpected relationship between K0 and the electric field to number density ratio (E/N) has been discovered in which the K0 values of ions decreased as a function of E/N along a second degree polynomial trend line towards an apparent asymptote at approximately 4 Td.

The purpose of this study was to determine the 10-yr incidence rate of shoulder dislocations in soldiers, the percentage with recurrent instability, and risk factors for these injuries. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used medical encounter data from U.S. Army soldiers to calculate the 10-yr incidence rate for shoulder dislocations and the percentage of chronic or recurrent injuries >3 months and ≤2 yr after the initial diagnosis. A Cox proportional hazards model was constructed using demographic variables (age, race, education level, marital status, and sex) to determine incidence rate ratios for risk factors related to shoulder dislocation. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio for risk factors for recurrent injury, including concurrent diagnoses (brachial plexus or peripheral nerve injuries and fractures of the scapula or proximal humerus). Results: There were 15,426 incident shoulder dislocations, with a 10-yr incidence rate of 3.13 per 1000 person-year. Soldiers ≤40 yr old showed greater risk for injury compared with those older than 40 yr. The incidence rate ratio for males compared with females was 1.64,95% confidence interval = 1.55-1.74. Recurrent injury occurred in 28.7% of cases. Concurrent axillary nerve injury (odds ratio = 3.64, 95% confidence interval = 1.56-8.46) and age ≤35 yr were associated with greater risk of recurrence. Conclusion: Within the active duty U.S. Army, men and younger individuals showed greater risk for shoulder dislocations. Over one-quarter of incident cases became recurrent. Axillary nerve injuries and younger age increased the odds of recurrent injury.

This article advocates for examining an untapped resource--the consideration of applicants for nursing leadership and educational positions in civilian health care organizations. This untapped resource is highly qualified, already retired (or going to be separated) military nurse officers (MNOs) who possess extensive health care knowledge, as well as distinctive ethnicity and gender composition. Clinical educators, as part of the organizational leadership, can play an important role in assisting the MNO civilian position assimilation because they come from a structured and unique cultural environment. Several innovative preparatory strategies are proposed to highlight the organization's support and commitment regarding preselection, recruiting, hiring, and mentoring, including the use of a specific navigational mentor to achieve the necessary acquired cultural assimilation for the MNO's success, satisfaction, and retention.

This study describes the demographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of febrile hospitalized patients with intestinal infections in Armenia. Using a chart review study design, medical data from adult patients who were hospitalized at the Nork hospital during 2010-2012 were reviewed. A total of 600 medical charts were reviewed. Of these, 51 % were diagnosed with intestinal infections. Among these patients, 59 % had an intestinal infection of known etiology, with three main pathogens identified: Salmonella sp. (32 %), Shigella sp. (32 %), and Staphylococcus aureus (18 %). After controlling for the calendar year, age in years, and gender, patients detected with Salmonella sp. were more likely to reported the presence of a family member with similar signs or symptoms [odds ratio (OR) 9.0; 95 % CI 2.4-33.7] and the lack of a water tap at home (OR 3.9; 95 % CI 1.7-9.5). Evidence indicates that Salmonella sp., Shigella sp., and S. aureus as the most common etiologies reported among febrile hospitalized patients.

Although temporal stability of combat event reporting has been examined, less is known about the stability of reporting for noncombat events in military samples. Objectives are to examine consistency in reporting stressful life events in nondeployed U.S. Army soldiers and its association with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology. Method Examined reporting consistency over approximately 8 months among 466 soldiers. Regression models examined factors associated with decreased, increased, and stable reporting. Results Stability of the number of events endorsed over time was high. However, item-level agreement was slight to moderate (kappas: .13-.54), with inconsistencies due primarily to decreased reporting. After adjusting for covariates and initial PTSD, second assessment PTSD was associated with increased and stable reporting. Conclusions Inconsistent reporting extends beyond combat events to other stressful life events in military personnel and is associated with PTSD.

JO - Natural Hazards & Earth System Sciences Discussions JF - Natural Hazards & Earth System Sciences Discussions Y1 - 2016/11// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 32 SN - 21959269 AB - Recent events in the USA have highlighted a lack of resilience in the coastal population to coastal flooding, especially amongst disadvantaged and isolated communities. Some low income countries, such as Cuba and Bangladesh, have made significant progress towards transformed societies that are more resilient to the impacts of cyclones and coastal flooding. To understand how this has come about a systematic review of the peer-reviewed and grey literature related to resilience of communities to coastal flooding was undertaken in both countries. In both Cuba and Bangladesh the trust between national and local authorities, community leaders and civil society is high. As a consequence evacuation warnings are generally followed and communities are well prepared. As a result over the past 25 years in Bangladesh the number of deaths directly related to cyclones and coastal flooding has decreased, despite an increase of almost 50% in the number of people exposed to these hazards. In Cuba, over the course of eight hurricanes between 2003 and 2011, the normalised number of deaths related to cyclones and coastal floods was an order of magnitude less than in the USA. In low-income countries, warning systems and effective shelter/evacuation systems, combined with high levels of disaster risk reduction education and social cohesion, coupled with trust between government authorities and vulnerable communities can help to increase resilience to coastal hazards and tropical cyclones. In the USA, transferable lessons include improving communication and the awareness of the risk posed by coastal surges, mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into the education system and building trusted community networks to help isolated and disadvantaged communities, and improve community's resilience.

JO - Journal of Fire Sciences JF - Journal of Fire Sciences Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 34 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 468 EP - 489 SN - 07349041 AB - The advantage of utilizing modeling to study fire performance of textiles is the ability to conduct detailed studies of the effect of fabric characteristics on flame spread. First, two textile materials are chosen for modeling that exhibit two limit cases: complete flame spread (nylon 6,6/cotton fiber fabric) and self-extinguish (flame retardant rayon/nylon 6,6/para-aramid fiber fabric) in the standard vertical flame test (ASTM D6413). Parameter estimation for unknown model parameters is performed for these samples followed by a sensitivity analysis. Then a new sample is modeled—flame retardant cotton fiber fabric, flame retardant cotton. This modeling exercise shows that computational fluid dynamics modeling is capable of capturing the fire characteristics of different fabric samples in the vertical flame test only when the parameters are carefully estimated considering the modeling assumptions and approaches. Additionally, several areas for further investigation are proposed to improve simulation capability when conducting vertical flame test modeling with textile samples.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 183 M3 - Article SP - 435 EP - 446 SN - 01657836 AB - The lower Columbia River and estuary (LRE) is a critically important environment for outmigrating salmonids, yet uncertainties remain about the survival and behavior of barged and in-river migrating fish. Although studies have used telemetry to monitor Chinook salmon movement and survival through the LRE, comparisons between outmigration years are confounded by differences in tag technologies, array locations, and experimental designs. In the present study, multiple releases of barged and in-river Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon were implanted with acoustic tags and monitored at multiple locations between Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River (695 km from the mouth of the Columbia River) to within 3 km of the Pacific Ocean. LRE survival estimates and transit rates of barged fish significantly varied throughout the outmigration season. The transit rates of in-river fish also varied, but without a corresponding seasonal difference in LRE survival estimates. Early release groups of barged salmon were slower and had lower survival in the LRE than in-river salmon. Estuary arrival timing and the magnitude of transit rates may contribute to significant differences in LRE mortality between in-river and barged juvenile salmon. Survival in the Lower River reaches was stable and exceeded 0.90 for both barged and in-river fish, while survival decreased markedly in the Estuary. Differential distributions of arrival to the LRE, transit rates, and survival suggest that the outmigration experience is not homogenous for barged and in-river yearling Snake River Chinook salmon, and that previous outmigration experience of threatened and endangered salmon should be considered in future management decisions and recovery plans.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 52 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 8437 EP - 8460 SN - 00431397 AB - Accurately estimating basin-wide snow water equivalent (SWE) is the most important unsolved problem in mountain hydrology. Models that rely on remotely sensed inputs are especially needed in ranges with few surface measurements. The NASA Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) provides estimates of SWE at 50 m spatial resolution in several basins across the Western U.S. during the melt season. Primarily, water managers use this information to forecast snowmelt runoff into reservoirs; another impactful use of ASO measurements lies in validating and improving satellite-based snow estimates or models that can scale to whole mountain ranges, even those without ground-based measurements. We compare ASO measurements from 2013 to 2015 to four methods that estimate spatially distributed SWE: two versions of a SWE reconstruction method, spatial interpolation from snow pillows and courses, and NOAA's Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS). SWE reconstruction downscales energy forcings to compute potential melt, then multiplies those values by satellite-derived estimates of fractional snow-covered area to calculate snowmelt. The snowpack is then built in reverse from the date the snow is observed to disappear. The two SWE reconstruction models tested include one that employs an energy balance calculation of snowmelt, and one that combines net radiation and degree-day approaches to estimate melt. Our full energy balance model, without ground observations, performed slightly better than spatial interpolation from snow pillows, having no systematic bias and 26% mean absolute error when compared to SWE from ASO. Both reconstruction models and interpolation were more accurate than SNODAS.

JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 116 M3 - Article SP - 180 EP - 194 SN - 03783839 AB - A non-hydrostatic wave model (SWASH) that phase-resolves the free surface and fluid motions in the water column is applied to investigate wave transformation and the spatial distribution of wave breaking over different morphological features. The model is forced using observed directional energy spectra and results are compared to wave observations collected outside the surf zone using acoustic wave sensors, and over a 100 m nearshore transect using high-frequency measurements of the sea surface from a LIDAR sensor mounted on the beach dune at the Field Research Facility in Duck, NC. The model is applied to four cases with different wave conditions and bathymetry, tested for sensitivity of model parameters to these different natural conditions, and used to predict the spatial variability in wave breaking and correlation between energy dissipation and morphologic features. Model results compare very well with observations of spectral evolution outside the surf zone, and generally well with the remotely sensed observations of wave transformation inside the surf zone with R = 0.85-0.93 for H s along the cross-shore transect. In particular the model is able to spatially resolve wave shoaling and dissipation at the shore break at the same location as observed in the LIDAR data. The results indicate that nearshore morphology has a significant effect on the spatial distribution of wave energy dissipation. Alongshore variability in bathymetry due to bars, rip channels, and larger morphological features such as the scour depression under the pier, causes large alongshore changes in cross-shore wave energy flux that influence the location and intensity of wave breaking.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 35 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2530 EP - 2541 SN - 07307268 AB - Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) can impact the reproductive system by interfering with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Although in vitro testing methods have been developed to screen chemicals for endocrine disruption, extrapolation of in vitro responses to in vivo action shows inconsistent accuracy. The authors describe a tissue coculture of the fathead minnow ( Pimephales promelas) HPG axis and liver (HPG-L) as a tissue explant model that mimics in vivo results. Brain (hypothalamus), pituitary, gonad, and liver tissue explants from adult fish were examined for function both individually and in coculture to determine combinations and conditions that could replicate in vivo behavior. Only cocultures had the ability to respond to an EDC, trenbolone, similarly to in vivo studies, based on estradiol, testosterone, and vitellogenin production trends, where lower exposure doses suppressed hormone production but higher doses increased production, resulting in distinctive U-shaped curves. These data suggest that a coculture system with all components of the HPG-L axis can be used as a link between in vitro and in vivo studies to predict endocrine system disruption in whole organisms. This tissue-based HPG-L system acts as a flexible deconstructed version of the in vivo system for better control and examination of the minute changes in system operation and response on EDC exposure with options to isolate, interrogate, and recombine desired components.

Mapping chemical injuries to organ-specific histopathology outcomes via biomarkers will provide a foundation for designing precise and robust diagnostic tests. We identified co-expressed genes (modules) specific to injury endpoints using the Open Toxicogenomics Project-Genomics Assisted Toxicity Evaluation System (TG-GATEs) - a toxicogenomics database containing organ-specific gene expression data matched to dose- and time-dependent chemical exposures and adverse histopathology assessments in Sprague-Dawley rats. We proposed a protocol for selecting gene modules associated with chemical-induced injuries that classify 11 liver and eight kidney histopathology endpoints based on dose-dependent activation of the identified modules. We showed that the activation of the modules for a particular chemical exposure condition, i.e., chemical-time-dose combination, correlated with the severity of histopathological damage in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the modules could distinguish different types of injuries caused by chemical exposures as well as determine whether the injury module activation was specific to the tissue of origin (liver and kidney). The generated modules provide a link between toxic chemical exposures, different molecular initiating events among underlying molecular pathways and resultant organ damage. Published 2016.

In both ocean basins, statistically significant temporal trends exist, suggesting that storms of equal pressure have lower wind speeds today than in the past. Likewise, storms of equal wind speed have lower pressures today. Strong temporal changes in pressure-wind relationships exist among a wide range of storm strengths in the Atlantic but only for weaker storms in the Pacific. An examination of surface pressure anomalies across the two ocean basins reveals that a shifting pressure gradient is likely responsible for these observations, possibly due to macroscale pattern changes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation.

JO - Cryosphere Discussions JF - Cryosphere Discussions Y1 - 2016/09// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 25 SN - 19940432 AB - Given the substantial variability of snow in complex mountainous terrain, a considerable challenge of coarse scale modeling applications is accurately representing the subgrid variability of snowpack properties. The snow depth coefficient of variation (CVds) is a useful metric for characterizing subgrid snow distributions but has not been well defined by a parameterization for mountainous environments. This study utilizes lidar-derived snow depth datasets from mountainous terrain in Colorado, USA to evaluate the variability of subgrid snow distributions within a grid size comparable to a 1000 m resolution common for hydrologic and land surface models. The subgrid CVds exhibited a wide range of variability across the 321 km² study area (0.15 to 2.74) and was significantly greater in alpine areas compared to subalpine areas. Mean snow depth was an important factor of CVds variability in both alpine and subalpine areas, as CVds decreased nonlinearly with increasing snow depths. This negative correlation is attributed to the static size of roughness elements (topography and canopy) that strongly influences seasonal snow variability. Subgrid CVds was also correlated with topography and forest variables; important drivers of CVds included the subgrid variability of terrain exposure to wind in alpine areas and the mean and variability of forest metrics in subalpine areas. Two simple statistical models were developed (alpine and subalpine) for predicting subgrid CVds that show reasonable performance statistics. The methodology presented here can be used for parameterizing CVds in snow-dominated mountainous regions, and highlights the utility of using lidar-derived snow datasets for improving model representations of snow processes.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 145 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1047 EP - 1058 SN - 00028487 AB - A cylindrical micro acoustic transmitter (AT; weight in air = 0.2 g) has been developed for injection into the peritoneal cavity of fish. Laboratory studies can provide tagging guidelines to minimize the effects of implantation techniques and transmitter burden (transmitter weight expressed as a proportion of fish weight) before use of the AT in field studies. To establish guidelines for minimizing tagging effects, we examined response variables (mortality, transmitter expulsion, growth, and wound healing) for micro AT-injected juvenile Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha over a wide range of sizes (65-104 mm FL). The overarching goal was to determine a minimum size threshold at which the adverse effects of micro AT injection on fish are minimized. Juveniles (n = 700) were separated into four treatments: (1) AT injection, (2) injection of an AT and a PIT tag (AT+PIT), (3) injection of visible implant elastomer (marked control), and (4) unmarked (true) control. Fish were evaluated once per week for 4 weeks and at the end of the study (60 d posttagging). The AT- and AT+PIT-injected fish experienced greater mortality than marked controls and grew (FL and weight gain) significantly less than marked controls, although no minimum size thresholds were detected. By 60 d posttagging, the transmitter expulsion rate was 44% for AT-injected fish and 20% for AT+PIT-injected fish. However, among the 90-mm and larger fish in the AT treatment, none died or expelled a transmitter. Initial FL significantly affected wound healing for both injection treatments. A size threshold (85.1 mm FL) was identified for AT+PIT-injected fish at 7 d posttagging, indicating that wound areas in fish smaller than 85.1 mm were larger than the wound areas in fish exceeding 85.1 mm. Our results suggest that AT or AT+PIT injection had a greater effect on smaller juvenile Chinook Salmon than on larger fish.

The process of decision making in situation of high uncertainty can be assisted through the use of decision support systems (DSSs). Such DSSs are often based on tools for spatial data representation (GIS) and environmental models that are integrated using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). This paper presents DecernsMCDA implementing all major types of multi-criteria methods and tools (AHP, MAUT, Outranking) under the same user interface. In addition to providing ability for testing model uncertainty associated with selection of specific MCDA algorithms, DecernsMCDA implements new algorithms for parameter uncertainty analysis based on probabilistic approaches and fuzzy sets. The paper illustrates application of DecernsMCDA for selecting remedial alternative at radiologically contaminated sites.

Here, we discuss panarchy theory, a multi-scale hierarchical concept that accounts for the dynamism of complex socio-ecological systems, especially for those systems with strong cross-scale feedbacks. The idea of panarchy underlies much of system resilience, focusing on how systems respond to known and unknown threats. Panarchy theory can provide a framework for qualitative and quantitative research and application in the environmental sciences, which can in turn inform the ongoing efforts in socio-technical resilience thinking and adaptive and transformative approaches to management.

For juvenile yearling Chinook SalmonO. tshawytschaand steelheadO. mykissthat migrate downstream in the spring, dam passage survival (defined as survival from the upstream dam face to the tailrace mixing zone) must be ≥ 96%, and for subyearling Chinook Salmon that migrate downstream in summer, dam passage survival must be ≥ 93%. Precision requirement stipulates a standard error ≤ 1.5% (i.e., a 95% confidence interval of ± 3%). A total of 29 compliance tests have been conducted at six of eight main-stem dams in the Federal Columbia River Power System, using over 109,000 acoustic-tagged salmonid smolts. Of these 29 compliance studies, 23 met the survival standards and 26 met the precision requirements. Of the six dams evaluated to date, individual survival estimates range from 0.9597 to 0.9868 for yearling Chinook Salmon, from 0.9534 to 0.9952 for steelhead, and from 0.9076 to 0.9789 for subyearling Chinook Salmon.

In September 2014, the SRA Emerging Nanoscale Materials Specialty Group convened an international workshop to examine the use of alternative testing strategies (ATS) for manufactured nanomaterials (NM) from a risk analysis perspective. Experts in NM environmental health and safety, human health, ecotoxicology, regulatory compliance, risk analysis, and ATS evaluated and discussed the state of the science for in vitro and other alternatives to traditional toxicology testing for NM. Based on this review, experts recommended immediate and near-term actions that would advance ATS use in NM risk assessment. Three focal areas-human health, ecological health, and exposure considerations-shaped deliberations about information needs, priorities, and the next steps required to increase confidence in and use of ATS in NM risk assessment. The deliberations revealed that ATS are now being used for screening, and that, in the near term, ATS could be developed for use in read-across or categorization decision making within certain regulatory frameworks. Participants recognized that leadership is required from within the scientific community to address basic challenges, including standardizing materials, protocols, techniques and reporting, and designing experiments relevant to real-world conditions, as well as coordination and sharing of large-scale collaborations and data. Experts agreed that it will be critical to include experimental parameters that can support the development of adverse outcome pathways. Numerous other insightful ideas for investment in ATS emerged throughout the discussions and are further highlighted in this article.

The focus of this paper is on the rehabilitation of water-submerged bridge steel piles using precured glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shells wrapped with water-curable GFRP pre-preg fabrics. The GFRP shells were placed around the corroded steel piles of the East Lynn Lake Campground Bridge in Wayne County, West Virginia, and wrapped with GFRP fabrics. The space between GFRP shells and steel piles was filled with self-consolidating concrete to strengthen and protect the piles from further deterioration. Prior to field implementation, experiments were conducted on concrete cylinders embedded with steel I-sections that were encased by a polymeric shell and FRP wrap system to evaluate the load transfer mechanisms and increase in concrete strength as a result of confinement. To increase the load transfer between embedded steel and concrete, steel rods and angles were welded to the steel I-sections, which resulted in a 92% or higher degree of compositeness. Using the GFRP shell and wrap system, the bridge was restored to its design capacity at approximately 10-15% of its replacement cost.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/12/15/ VL - 165 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 26 SN - 00456535 AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) is developing a new category of insensitive munitions (IMs) that are more resistant to detonation or promulgation from external stimuli than traditional munition formulations. The new explosive constituent compounds are 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), nitroguanidine (NQ), and nitrotriazolone (NTO). The production and use of IM formulations may result in interaction of IM component compounds with soil. The chemical properties of these IM compounds present unique challenges for extraction from environmental matrices such as soil. A two-stage extraction procedure was developed and tested using several soil types amended with known concentrations of IM compounds. This procedure incorporates both an acidified phase and an organic phase to account for the chemical properties of the IM compounds. The method detection limits (MDLs) for all IM compounds in all soil types were <5 mg/kg and met non-regulatory risk-based Regional Screening Level (RSL) criteria for soil proposed by the U.S. Army Public Health Center. At defined environmentally relevant concentrations, the average recovery of each IM compound in each soil type was consistent and greater than 85%. The two-stage extraction method decreased the influence of soil composition on IM compound recovery. UV analysis of NTO established an isosbestic point based on varied pH at a detection wavelength of 341 nm. The two-stage soil extraction method is equally effective for traditional munition compounds, a potentially important point when examining soils exposed to both traditional and insensitive munitions.

JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2016/12/03/Dec2016 Part 3 VL - 183 M3 - Case Study SP - 497 EP - 509 SN - 03014797 AB - Coastal ecosystem management typically relies on subjective interpretation of scientific understanding, with limited methods for explicitly incorporating process knowledge into decisions that must meet multiple, potentially competing stakeholder objectives. Conversely, the scientific community lacks methods for identifying which advancements in system understanding would have the highest value to decision-makers. A case in point is barrier island restoration, where decision-makers lack tools to objectively use system understanding to determine how to optimally use limited contingency funds when project construction in this dynamic environment does not proceed as expected. In this study, collaborative structured decision-making (SDM) was evaluated as an approach to incorporate process understanding into mid-construction decisions and to identify priority gaps in knowledge from a management perspective. The focus was a barrier island restoration project at Ship Island, Mississippi, where sand will be used to close an extensive breach that currently divides the island. SDM was used to estimate damage that may occur during construction, and guide repair decisions within the confines of limited availability of sand and funding to minimize adverse impacts to project objectives. Sand was identified as more limiting than funds, and unrepaired major breaching would negatively impact objectives. Repairing minor damage immediately was determined to be generally more cost effective (depending on the longshore extent) than risking more damage to a weakened project. Key gaps in process-understanding relative to project management were identified as the relationship of island width to breach formation; the amounts of sand lost during breaching, lowering, or narrowing of the berm; the potential for minor breaches to self-heal versus developing into a major breach; and the relationship between upstream nourishment and resiliency of the berm to storms. This application is a prototype for using structured decision-making in support of engineering projects in dynamic environments where mid-construction decisions may arise; highlights uncertainty about barrier island physical processes that limit the ability to make robust decisions; and demonstrates the potential for direct incorporation of process-based models in a formal adaptive management decision framework.

JO - Environmental Modelling & Software JF - Environmental Modelling & Software Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 86 M3 - Article SP - 248 EP - 263 SN - 13648152 AB - This study presents a probabilistic framework to simulate dam breach and evaluates the impact of using four empirical dam breach prediction methods on breach parameters (i.e., geometry and timing) and outflow hydrograph attributes (i.e., time to peak, hydrograph duration and peak). The methods that are assessed here include MacDonald and Langridge-Monopolis (1984), Von Thun and Gillette (1990), Froehlich (1995), 2008). Mean values and percentiles of breach parameters and outflow hydrograph attributes are compared for hypothetical overtopping failure of Burnett Dam in the state of North Carolina, USA. Furthermore, utilizing the probabilistic framework, the least and most uncertain methods alongside those giving the most critical value are identified for these parameters. The multivariate analysis also indicates that lone use of breach parameters is not necessarily sufficient to characterize outflow hydrograph attributes. However, timing characteristic of the breach is generally a more important driver than its geometric features.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 36 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 404 EP - 420 SN - 21945403 AB - An elaborate set of criteria have been developed by fish managers and regulators to assure the accuracy, precision, representativeness, and robustness of survival compliance studies coordinated within the Federal Columbia River Power System in the northwestern USA. Dam passage survival, defined as survival from the dam face to the tailrace mixing zone, must be ≥96 % for spring out migrating juvenile salmonids [i.e., yearling Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead ( O. mykiss)] and ≥93 % for summer outmigrants (i.e., subyearling Chinook salmon). Survival must be estimated with a standard error ≤1.5 %. However, these quantitative benchmarks are only part of a multifaceted set of criteria, including representative dam operations, river discharge levels, and fish selection, along with tests of model validity that must be satisfied. These criteria are illustrated using acoustic-tag survival compliance studies conducted at The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River, 2010-2012. The results suggest evaluation criteria for survival compliance tests must balance the needs for rigor and robustness with the ability to reasonably perform the tests in naturally varying riverine systems.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 162 M3 - Case Study SP - 222 EP - 227 SN - 00456535 AB - Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are being incorporated into a variety of consumer products due to unique properties that offer a variety of advantages over bulk materials. Understanding of the nano-specific risk associated with nano-enabled technologies, however, continues to lag behind research and development, registration with regulators, and commercialization. One example of a nano-enabled technology is nanosilver ink, which can be used in commercial ink-jet printers for the development of low-cost printable electronics. This investigation utilizes a tiered EHS framework to evaluate the potential nano-specific release, exposure and hazard associated with typical use of both nanosilver ink and printed circuits. The framework guides determination of the potential for ENM release from both forms of the technology in simulated use scenarios, including spilling of the ink, aqueous release (washing) from the circuits and UV light exposure. The as-supplied ink merits nano-specific consideration based on the presence of nanoparticles and their persistence in environmentally-relevant media. The material released from the printed circuits upon aqueous exposure was characterized by a number of analysis techniques, including ultracentrifugation and single particle ICP-MS, and the results suggest that a vast majority of the material was ionic in nature and nano-specific regulatory scrutiny may be less relevant.

This paper investigates perception of multi-electrode binaural stimulation to determine if auditory object formation (AOF) and lateralization are affected by variability in ITD sensitivity when a complex sound is encoded with multi-channel processing. AOF and ITD lateralization were compared between single- and multi-electrode configurations. Most (7/8) BiCI users perceived a single auditory object with multi-electrode stimulation, and the range of lateralization was comparable to single-electrode stimulation, suggesting that variability in single-electrode ITD sensitivity does not compromise AOF with multi-electrode stimulation.

Shear wave measurements were performed with bimorph transducers to generate and receive horizontally polarized shear waves in the 300 Hz to 1 kHz band, and compressional wave measurements were performed using hydrophones operated in the 5 kHz to 100 kHz band. Sediment samples were collected at both measurement sites and later analyzed in the laboratory to characterize the sediment grain size distribution for each field location. Compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation were estimated from the acoustic measurements, and preliminary comparisons to the extended Biot model by Chotiros and Isakson [J. Acoust. Soc. 135, 3264-3279 (2014)] and the viscous grain-shearing theory by Buckingham [J. Acoust. Soc. 136, 2478-2488 (2014)] were performed.

No study has systematically evaluated with evidence-based criteria the appropriateness of advanced diagnostic imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), when ordered by physical therapists. The primary purpose of this study was to describe the appropriateness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) exams ordered by physical therapists in a direct-access sports physical therapy clinic. Study Design: Retrospective observational study of practice. Hypothesis: Greater than 80% of advanced diagnostic imaging orders would have an American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria rating of greater than 6, indicating an imaging order that is usually appropriate. Methods: A 2-year retrospective analysis identified 108 MRI/MRA examination orders from four physical therapists. A board-certified radiologist determined the appropriateness of each order based on ACR appropriateness criteria. The principal investigator and co-investigator radiologist assessed agreement between the clinical diagnosis and MRI/surgical findings. Results: Knee (31%) and shoulder (25%) injuries were the most common. Overall, 55% of injuries were acute. The mean ACR rating was 7.7; scores from six to nine have been considered appropriate orders and higher ratings are better. The percentage of orders complying with ACR appropriateness criteria was 83.2%. Physical therapist's clinical diagnosis was confirmed by MRI/MRA findings in 64.8% of cases and was confirmed by surgical findings in 90% of cases. Conclusions: Physical therapists providing musculoskeletal primary care in a direct-access sports physical therapy clinic appropriately ordered advanced diagnostic imaging in over 80% of cases. Future research should prospectively compare physical therapist appropriateness and utilization to other groups of providers and explore the effects of physical therapist imaging privileging on outcomes.

AB - Introduction: No treatments for axonal peripheral neuropathy are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although patient- and clinician-reported outcomes are central to evaluating neuropathy symptoms, they can be difficult to assess accurately. The inability to identify efficacious treatments for peripheral neuropathies could be due to invalid or inadequate outcome measures.Methods: This systematic review examined the content validity of symptom-based measures of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, HIV neuropathy, and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.Results: Use of all FDA-recommended methods to establish content validity was only reported for 2 of 18 measures. Multiple sensory and motor symptoms were included in measures for all 3 conditions; these included numbness, tingling, pain, allodynia, difficulty walking, and cramping. Autonomic symptoms were less frequently included.Conclusions: Given significant overlap in symptoms between neuropathy etiologies, a measure with content validity for multiple neuropathies with supplemental disease-specific modules could be of great value in the development of disease-modifying treatments for peripheral neuropathies.

Recently, global changes in metabolism have been described using metabolomics in animal models and civilian trauma. We evaluated metabolic changes associated with combat injury to identify early biomarkers and aid in triage.Methods: Plasma obtained at emergency department presentation and intervals thereafter from patients injured during combat operations in Iraq (n = 78) were compared with healthy control subjects (n = 40). Using proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), water-soluble metabolites were detected and quantified. Resulting metabolic profiles were analyzed with partial least squares discriminant analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), and cluster analyses to identify features of combat injury and mortality.Results: Significant alterations to metabolism resulted from traumatic injury. Metabolic profiles of injured patients differed from those of healthy controls, driven by increased 5-aminolevulinate and hypoxanthine that persisted through 24 hours. Among combat-injured patients, increased succinate and malonate best discriminated between those who survived from those who did not. Higher levels of succinate and hypoxanthine were associated with increased injury severity. ROC analysis showed that these metabolites had equivalent or superior performance to lactate in distinguishing the presence of trauma, injury severity, and mortality.Conclusion: Combat injury is associated with several changes at the metabolic level compared with healthy individuals. Novel potential biomarkers of mortality (succinate, malonate), injury severity (succinate, hypoxanthine), and the presence of trauma (hypoxanthine, 5-aminolevulinate) perform as well as or better than the common clinical standard, lactate.Level Of Evidence: Prognostic study, level III.

We present the final results of two phase 1 trials of an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based vaccine candidate designed to prevent EVD. Methods We conducted two phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation trials of an rVSV-based vaccine candidate expressing the glycoprotein of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV). A total of 39 adults at each site (78 participants in all) were consecutively enrolled into groups of 13. At each site, volunteers received one of three doses of the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine (3 million plaque-forming units [PFU], 20 million PFU, or 100 million PFU) or placebo. Volunteers at one of the sites received a second dose at day 28. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results The most common adverse events were injection-site pain, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Transient rVSV viremia was noted in all the vaccine recipients after dose 1. The rates of adverse events and viremia were lower after the second dose than after the first dose. By day 28, all the vaccine recipients had seroconversion as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the glycoprotein of the ZEBOV-Kikwit strain. At day 28, geometric mean titers of antibodies against ZEBOV glycoprotein were higher in the groups that received 20 million PFU or 100 million PFU than in the group that received 3 million PFU, as assessed by ELISA and by pseudovirion neutralization assay. A second dose at 28 days after dose 1 significantly increased antibody titers at day 56, but the effect was diminished at 6 months. Conclusions This Ebola vaccine candidate elicited anti-Ebola antibody responses. After vaccination, rVSV viremia occurred frequently but was transient. These results support further evaluation of the vaccine dose of 20 million PFU for preexposure prophylaxis and suggest that a second dose may boost antibody responses.

SP - e62 EP - e69 JO - Journal of Burn Care & Research JF - Journal of Burn Care & Research JA - J BURN CARE RES VL - 38 IS - 1 CY - Baltimore, Maryland PB - Lippincott Williams & Wilkins AB - Burn scar contractures (BSCs) are a frequently recognized problem for survivors of burn injury. In the burn literature, many reports focus on the frequency and factors associated with the BSC development. To the contrary, few burn rehabilitation publications report on patients who are able to successfully avoid developing BSC. From a prospective, multicenter study, data were extracted and reviewed on a group of 56 adult burn survivors who were discharged from their acute hospitalization without any measured BSCs. Forty-three variables with a recognized or presumed association with the development of BSCs were analyzed and are reported. Highlighted features of the noncontracted group included being an adult male with an educated background and few associated physical, medical, or social problems. The group had relatively small burn sizes that nonetheless required hospitalization. Despite the overall TBSA, the majority of the burn areas required skin grafting, although this area also represented a small area. The patient group had a longer than expected hospital stay. Rehabilitation was provided to patients on 80% of their hospital days. In addition, patients received sufficient rehabilitation treatment based on the number of cutaneous functional units involved in the burn injury. Patients were judged to have a high pain tolerance and compliant with rehabilitation. The results of this study document the clinical circumstances that patients with burn injury can be discharged from their acute hospitalization with the development of BSC. This study challenges the rehabilitation personnel to expand the upper limit of burn severity that can result in similar positive outcomes.

JO - Ecological Restoration JF - Ecological Restoration Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 434 EP - 440 PB - University of Wisconsin Press SN - 15434060 AB - Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) recruitment in Chesapeake Bay, USA, dropped precipitously as stocks declined (1920s-1985), then collapsed (1986-present). Occasional recruitment spikes occurred, driven primarily by seasonal drought. Recruitment spikes helped sustain the fishery at a small, variable level for years post-collapse, as fishers took advantage of these strong year classes. Historically, oyster recruitment was higher, more reliable, and more stock-driven, with weather exerting less, though still significant influence. Analysis of publicly available oyster spat (young juvenile oysters) settlement data revealed the reestablishment of a steadier, historic pattern of oyster settlement and recruitment potential in the Great Wicomico River (GWR), where local stocks have been greatly enhanced by a large sanctuary reef network constructed in 2004. In 2012, an oyster shellstring survey in the GWR revealed the highest mean oyster settlement for any Bay tributary since such surveys began nearly 70 years ago. This unprecedented recruitment enhancement is significantly correlated to the large stock on the sanctuary reefs and a strong indicator of restoration success and longterm sustainability, as these reefs are well past the average age of senescence (five years) for restored reefs. With the expansion of large-scale Eastern oyster restoration efforts in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay, developing efforts in the northeastern states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, and similar efforts to restore the Olympia oyster in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, British Columbia), these findings are particularly timely and applicable.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 9 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 24 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Fathead minnow and zebrafish are among the most intensively studied fish species in environmental toxicogenomics. To aid the assessment and interpretation of subtle transcriptomic effects from treatment conditions of interest, better characterization and understanding are needed for natural variation in gene expression among fish individuals from lab cultures. Leveraging the transcriptomics data from a number of our toxicogenomics studies conducted over the years, we conducted a meta-analysis of nearly 600 microarrays generated from the ovary tissue of untreated, reproductively mature fathead minnow and zebrafish samples. As expected, there was considerable batch-to-batch transcriptomic variation; this “batch-effect” appeared to differentially impact subsets of fish transcriptomes in a nonsystematic way. Temporally more closely spaced batches tended to share a greater transcriptomic similarity among one another. The overall level of within-batch variation was quite low in fish ovary tissue, making it a suitable system for studying chemical stressors with subtle biological effects. The observed differences in the within-batch variability of gene expression, at the levels of both individual genes and pathways, were probably both technical and biological. This suggests that biological interpretation and prioritization of genes and pathways targeted by experimental conditions should take into account both their intrinsic variability and the size of induced transcriptional changes. There was significant conservation of both the genomes and transcriptomes between fathead minnow and zebrafish. The high degree of conservation offers promising opportunities in not only studying fish molecular responses to environmental stressors by a comparative biology approach, but also effective sharing of a large amount of existing public transcriptomics data for developing toxicogenomics applications.

T1 - Systematic Omics Analysis Review (SOAR) Tool to Support Risk Assessment. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 9 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Environmental health risk assessors are challenged to understand and incorporate new data streams as the field of toxicology continues to adopt new molecular and systems biology technologies. Systematic screening reviews can help risk assessors and assessment teams determine which studies to consider for inclusion in a human health assessment. A tool for systematic reviews should be standardized and transparent in order to consistently determine which studies meet minimum quality criteria prior to performing in-depth analyses of the data. The Systematic Omics Analysis Review (SOAR) tool is focused on assisting risk assessment support teams in performing systematic reviews of transcriptomic studies. SOAR is a spreadsheet tool of 35 objective questions developed by domain experts, focused on transcriptomic microarray studies, and including four main topics: test system, test substance, experimental design, and microarray data. The tool will be used as a guide to identify studies that meet basic published quality criteria, such as those defined by the Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment standard and the Toxicological Data Reliability Assessment Tool. Seven scientists were recruited to test the tool by using it to independently rate 15 published manuscripts that study chemical exposures with microarrays. Using their feedback, questions were weighted based on importance of the information and a suitability cutoff was set for each of the four topic sections. The final validation resulted in 100% agreement between the users on four separate manuscripts, showing that the SOAR tool may be used to facilitate the standardized and transparent screening of microarray literature for environmental human health risk assessment.

To overcome this, we report a simple method to improve the oxidative stability of ROMP based polymers by inclusion of a small percentage of monomer functionalized with a radical scavenger in the feedstock. The oxidation induction temperature was improved from 111°C up to 262°C when 8 mol% of the functionalized comonomer was included in the feedstock. Modest improvements in the thermal decomposition temperature were also observed.

Here, we perform a global, multiorgan characterization of the gene response to heat stress using an in vivo conscious rat model. Results We heated rats until implanted thermal probes indicated a maximal core temperature of 41.8°C (Tc,Max). We then compared transcriptomic profiles of liver, lung, kidney, and heart tissues harvested from groups of experimental animals at Tc,Max, 24 hours, and 48 hours after heat stress to time-matched controls kept at an ambient temperature. Cardiac histopathology at 48 hours supported persistent cardiac injury in three out of six animals. Microarray analysis identified 78 differentially expressed genes common to all four organs at Tc,Max. Selforganizing maps identified gene-specific signatures corresponding to protein-folding disorders in heat-stressed rats with histopathological evidence of cardiac injury at 48 hours. Quantitative proteomics analysis by iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation) demonstrated that differential protein expression most closely matched the transcriptomic profile in heat-injured animals at 48 hours. Calculation of protein supersaturation scores supported an increased propensity of proteins to aggregate for proteins that were found to be changing in abundance at 24 hours and in animals with cardiac injury at 48 hours, suggesting a mechanistic association between protein misfolding and the heat-stress response. Conclusions Pathway analyses at both the transcript and protein levels supported catastrophic deficits in energetics and cellular metabolism and activation of the unfolded protein response in heatstressed rats with histopathological evidence of persistent heat injury, providing the basis for a systems-level physiological model of heat illness and recovery.

In response to an organ-transplant-related rabies case diagnosed in 2013, organ donor and recipient investigations were conducted by multiple public health agencies. Persons with potential exposure to infectious patient materials were assessed for rabies virus exposure. An exposure investigation was conducted to determine the source of the organ donor's infection. Over 100 persons from more than 20 agencies spent over 2700 h conducting contact investigations in healthcare, military and community settings. The 564 persons assessed include 417 healthcare workers [5.8% recommended for post-exposure prophylaxis ( PEP)], 96 community contacts (15.6% recommended for PEP), 30 autopsy personnel (50% recommended for PEP), and 21 other persons (4.8% recommended for PEP). Donor contacts represented 188 assessed with 20.2% recommended for PEP, compared with 5.6% of 306 recipient contacts recommended for PEP. Human rabies cases result in substantial use of public health and medical resources, especially when diagnosis is delayed. Although rare, clinicians should consider rabies in cases of encephalitis of unexplained aetiology, particularly for cases that may result in organ donation.

Physically inactive women (30-65 years) were randomized to 6 weeks of nutrition meetings and SIT (n = 23; 3 bouts/week of 4-8 30-s cycle sprints with 4-min recovery) or a nonexercise control condition (CON; n = 24). Before and after the 6-week intervention, perceived health status and mood were assessed. Clinically relevant increases in role-physical scores (ES = 0.64) and vitality (ES = 0.52) were found after 6 weeks of SIT compared with a nonexercise control group. For middle-aged women at risk for MetS, it is concluded that high-intensity, low-volume SIT (1) increases feelings of vitality and perceptions of having fewer physical limitations and (2) does not induce mood disturbances as occurs with high-volume, high-intensity training.

T1 - Methodological Challenges of Using U.S. Army Administrative Data to Identify a Cohort of Basic Combat Trainees and Descriptive Analysis of Trends in Characteristics That Are Potential Risk Factors for Training-Related Injury. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 179 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1487 EP - 1496 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objectives: Training-related injury is a threat to military health and readiness. Prevalence of potential risk factors for training-related injury can change with U.S. Army recruitment goals and may influence basic combat training (BCT) injury rates. This article describes challenges of using administrative data to identify a trainee cohort and describes demographic and training characteristics across the five BCT locations. Methods: Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database were used to identify a U.S. Army-wide cohort of first-time trainees from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2007 and describe its characteristics. Results: The cohort includes 368,102 first-time trainees. The annual number starting BCT increased from 52,187 in 2002 to 68,808 in 2004. The proportion of males increased from 81.57% in 2003 to 83.84% in 2007. Mean (SD) age increased from 20.67 (3.55) years in 2002 to 20.94 (3.65) years in 2007. Mean (SD) body mass index increased from 24.53 (3.56) kg/m2 in 2002 to 24.94 (3.84) kg/m2 in 2006. Other characteristics fluctuated by year, including proportions of race/ethnicity, accession waivers, and confirmed graduates. Conclusions: Fluctuations in trainee characteristics warrant further analysis of potential influence on BCT injury rates. For research uses, careful acquisition of administrative data is needed.

Method: Cases were U.S. Army Soldiers (active duty or activated National Guard/Reserve) with dates of death between 2005 and 2011 and between 18 and 64 years of age in the Department of Defense Medical Mortality Registry. Age- and sex-adjusted annual mortality rates (AR) were calculated for each category of death and examined via linear regression. Proportions of underlying causes of death were also examined. Results: The trend in AR in the U.S. Army significantly decreased for combat deaths, the average annual percent change (AAPC) = 15.2% decrease in the log of the rate (LAR); p = 0.04 and accident deaths, AAPC = 5.4% decrease in the LAR; p = 0.002 and significantly increased for suicides, AAPC = 10.6% increase in the LAR; p = 0.001. The trend in AR for suicides for the Army was significantly different compared to the U.S. general population, AAPC = 11.0% increase in the LAR; p < 0.001. Conclusions: Trends in rates of combat deaths and accident deaths declined although rates of suicides increased. The Army suicide rate increased in comparison to the United States. 70% of accident deaths were transportation related. Almost 70% of suicides and homicides were firearm related.

Technology offers great potential to minimize and/or mitigate barriers associated with achieving optimal health, performance, and readiness. In support of the U.S. Army Surgeon General’s vision for a “System for Health” and its Performance Triad initiative, the U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center hosted a workshop in April 2013 titled “Incentives to Create and Sustain Change for Health.” Members of government and academia participated to identify and define the opportunities, gain clarity in leading practices and research gaps, and articulate the characteristics of future technology solutions to create and sustain real change in the health of individuals, the Army, and the nation. The key factors discussed included (1) public health messaging, (2) changing health habits and the environmental influence on health, (3) goal setting and tracking, (4) the role of incentives in behavior change intervention, and (5) the role of peer and social networks in change. This report summarizes the recommendations on how technology solutions could be employed to leverage evidence-based best practices and identifies gaps in research where further investigation is needed.

The project area contains the federally endangered pallid sturgeon ( Scaphirhynchus albus) and there was concern that intense sound pressure levels ( SPLs) could impact the species. SPLs were measured during production rock grinding ( January 2012, just north of Thebes, Illinois) and compared to those values with SPLs known to cause fish mortality, hearing damage, temporary hearing threshold shifts ( TTS), and stress. The source SPLs' maxima for each time block analyzed ranged from 160-172 d B (re 1 μPa @ 1 m) at frequencies ranging from 100-1250 Hz (1/3-octave band). The highest source SPL maximum recorded for the sound recording session was 172 dB (re 1 μPa @ 1 m) at 1250 Hz. These SPL levels at 1 m from the grinder were well below levels responsible for mortality or noise induced hearing damage. The impact zone for stress (increases in cortisol) was calculated to be within a 9 m radius of the grinder, while the impact zone for TTS was calculated to be within 31 m of the grinder. Considering the small impact zones and continuous noise production during grinding, there is a strong possibility that sturgeon would either avoid or move out of the impact zone.

Bean Life Science Museum SN - 15270904 AB - The taxonomic status of members of the genus Lepidium in the Intermountain West has been in flux for years. Species concepts and classification of these endemic species from the western United States center on the highly variable L. montanum complex. Until recently, classification treatments that use morphological features in this group have been adequate, but as new species are discovered and more locations reported, the limited number of morphological features available for classification and defining species concepts has led to more uncertainty about taxonomic rankings. As part of a molecular and morphological-based treatment of the group, flow cytometry was used to evaluate 58 collections of Lepidium from the Intermountain West. The ploidy level for 14 species and 11 varieties of Lepidium was surveyed to assess whether ploidy levels affected the interpretation of taxonomic rankings. Of the Lepidium taxa surveyed, 90% were tetraploid, and several were diploid and hexaploid. Tetraploid occurrences crossed all major species and varieties. No geographic distribution or habitat patterns were associated with ploidy level.

Los conceptos de especie y la clasificación de estas especies endémicas del oeste de los Estados Unidos se enfocan en el complejo L. nwntanum sumamente variable. Hasta hace poco, los tratamientos de clasificación que utilizan características morfológicas en este grupo han sido adecuados, pero a medida que se descubren nuevas especies y se registran más ubicaciones, el limitado número de características morfológicas disponibles para la clasificación y la definición de los conceptos de especie ha dado lugar a una mayor incertidumbre sobre las clasificaciones taxonómicas.

Se realizó un estudio de ploidía en 14 especies y 11 variedades de Lepidium para evaluar si los niveles de ploidía afectaban la interpretación de las clasificaciones taxonómicas. El 90% de los Lepidium estudiados resultaron ser tetraploides, junto con varios taxa que son diploides y hexaploides. Las ocurrencias tetraploides cruzaron las principales especies y variedades.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2014/11/10/ VL - 105 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - Fano resonances are features in transmissivity/reflectivity/absorption that owe their origin to the interaction between a broad bright resonance and a dark (i.e., sub-radiant) narrower one. They may emerge in the optical properties of planar two-dimensional (2D) periodic arrays (metasurfaces) of plasmonic nanoparticles. In this letter, we provide a thorough assessment of their nature for the general case of normal and oblique plane wave incidence, highlighting when a Fano resonance is affected by the mutual coupling in an array and its capability to support free modal solutions. We analyze the representative case of a metasurface of plasmonic nanoshells at ultraviolet frequencies and compute its absorption under TE- and TM-polarized, oblique plane-wave incidence. In particular, we find that plasmonic metasurfaces display two distinct types of resonances observable as absorption peaks: one is related to the Mie electric dipolar resonance of each nanoparticle and the other is due to the forced excitation of free modes with small attenuation constant, usually found at oblique incidence. The latter is thus an array-induced collective Fano resonance. This realization opens up to manifold flexible designs at optical frequencies mixing individual and collective resonances. We explain the physical origin of such Fano resonances using the modal analysis through which we calculate the free modes with complex wavenumber supported by the metasurface. We define equivalent array dipolar polarizabilities that are directly related to the absorption physics at oblique incidence and show a direct dependence between array modal phase and attenuation constants and Fano resonances. We thus provide a more complete picture of Fano resonances that may lead to the design of filters, energy-harvesting devices, photodetectors, and sensors at ultraviolet frequencies. Similar resonances may be also extended to the visible range with an appropriate choice of geometries and materials.

To estimate metabolic steady-state fluxes, the most common approach is to solve a set of macroscopic mass balance equations subjected to stoichiometric constraints while attempting to optimize an assumed optimal objective function. This assumption is justifiable in specific cases but may be invalid when tested across different conditions, cell populations, or other organisms. With an aim to providing a more consistent and reliable prediction of flux distributions over a wide range of conditions, in this article we propose a framework that uses the flux minimization principle to predict active metabolic pathways from mRNA expression data. The proposed algorithm minimizes a weighted sum of flux magnitudes, while biomass production can be bounded to fit an ample range from very low to very high values according to the analyzed context. We have formulated the flux weights as a function of the corresponding enzyme reaction's gene expression value, enabling the creation of context-specific fluxes based on a generic metabolic network. In case studies of wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and wild-type and mutant Escherichia coli strains, our method achieved high prediction accuracy, as gauged by correlation coefficients and sums of squared error, with respect to the experimentally measured values. In contrast to other approaches, our method was able to provide quantitative predictions for both model organisms under a variety of conditions. Our approach requires no prior knowledge or assumption of a context-specific metabolic functionality and does not require trial-and-error parameter adjustments. Thus, our framework is of general applicability for modeling the transcription-dependent metabolism of bacteria and yeasts.

Despite recent progress in understanding the mechanism of liver fibrosis, our knowledge of the molecular-level details of this disease is still incomplete. The elucidation of networks and pathways associated with liver fibrosis can provide insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms of the disease, as well as identify potential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers. Towards this end, we analyzed rat gene expression data from a range of chemical exposures that produced observable periportal liver fibrosis as documented in DrugMatrix, a publicly available toxicogenomics database. We identified genes relevant to liver fibrosis using standard differential expression and co-expression analyses, and then used these genes in pathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses. We identified a PPI network module associated with liver fibrosis that includes known liver fibrosis-relevant genes, such as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, galectin-3, connective tissue growth factor, and lipocalin-2. We also identified several new genes, such as perilipin-3, legumain, and myocilin, which were associated with liver fibrosis. We further analyzed the expression pattern of the genes in the PPI network module across a wide range of 640 chemical exposure conditions in DrugMatrix and identified early indications of liver fibrosis for carbon tetrachloride and lipopolysaccharide exposures. Although it is well known that carbon tetrachloride and lipopolysaccharide can cause liver fibrosis, our network analysis was able to link these compounds to potential fibrotic damage before histopathological changes associated with liver fibrosis appeared. These results demonstrated that our approach is capable of identifying early-stage indicators of liver fibrosis and underscore its potential to aid in predictive toxicity, biomarker identification, and to generally identify disease-relevant pathways.

SN - 07490208 AB - Morang, A.; Waters, J.P., and Stauble, D.K., 2014. Performance of submerged prefabricated structures to improve sand retention at beach nourishment projects. Submerged breakwaters were examined to evaluate their performance in maintaining the natural beach and retaining beach fill. These included sites where prefabricated concrete reefs, sills, and ball-like reef structures had been deployed. Most of these innovative structures have not performed well in exposed, open-coast, settings unless they were mounted on hard bottom. The Cape May Point, New Jersey, Section 227 demonstration site was used to develop a conceptual analysis model. The project monitored the functional, structural, and economic performance of two innovative prefabricated concrete structures placed at the seaward end of a groin compartment to form an enclosed sill. The project was conducted in conjunction with an ecosystem restoration beach fill to assess if a Beachsaver Reef™ and a Double-T sill could help to hold fill sediment in place at the entrance to Delaware Bay, which is influenced by high wave energy and strong tidal currents. The Beachsaver Reef™ units appear to be retaining the fill sand, while the Double-T sill settled completely into the bed and is no longer functioning as intended. Settlement and scour of these prefabricated units present the most problems in project performance. Wave attenuation performance is poor when the units settle, and they are better suited to act as a sill to hold sediment on a beach. Guidance is provided from the conceptual model at Cape May Point on the components that are needed to monitor a successful project. Criteria are given on how to evaluate project performance.

SN - 0032079X AB - Background and Aims: Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. Cours.) G. Don is an invasive legume that displaces populations of native N. American congeners. Our aims are to determine the growth benefits of different rhizobacterial strains for L. cuneata and native Lespedeza virginica (L.) Britton, and to determine if these strains influence competition between these plants. Methods: Plants were grown under nitrogen-limiting conditions in sterilized soil in pairs consisting of two L. cuneata, two L. virginica, or one of each species, and then plants were inoculated with one of seven rhizobial isolates, or with a no-strain control. After 3 months, plants were harvested for determination of biomass and nodulation rate. Results: Five of the assayed stains improved L. cuneata biomass over uninoculated controls, but none of the strains benefited L. virginica. L. cuneata plants had more biomass and root nodules when grown in competition with L. virginica than with a conspecific. Conclusions: Asymmetrical benefits from these symbionts accrued to invasive L. cuneata but not to native L. virginica, and this may provide the invader with a growth advantage in the field. Changes in the availability of effective symbionts in the soils of invaded sites can shape performance of native and invasive plants.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/11/02/Nov2014 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 162 EP - 167 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Increasingly, private and military consumers are becoming aware of the positive benefits of a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) as health claims range from reducing inflammation to improving mood. The number of positive scientific articles supporting these claims is rapidly increasing, leading the military to examine the possibility of omega-3 supplementation for personnel. A variety of menus used either in shipboard or garrison feeding include fatty fishes that are rich in omega-3 FAs. However, omega-3 FAs have shelf-stability issues because of their susceptibility to oxidize; therefore, they create a challenge in terms of incorporation into ration components in nutritionally significant amounts. As a result, the Department of Defense Combat Feeding Directorate is investigating methods, technologies, and emerging products for incorporation of omega-3s into ration components. Based on existing research, fortification of foods with omega-3 FAs would improve nutritional quality as well as provide added benefit to the Warfighters.

Two hundred-sixty Phase II Army Practical Nursing students were randomized into two groups and trained to perform an IV cannulation procedure. All students watched a 12-minute training video covering standard IV placement procedures. Afterward, both groups practiced the procedure for an hour according to their assigned group. Students were then tested on IV placement in a live human arm using a 14-item testing instrument in three trials that were scored pass/fail. There was no difference in the groups’ performance of the IV procedure on the first attempt: 51.7% (n = 92) of the human arm group passed the test, and 48.3% (n = 86) of the rubber mannequin group passed the test (p = 0.074). These data suggest that using rubber mannequin IV arms for IV skills training may be just as effective as training students using traditional methods. In addition, using simulation provides an extra benefit of reducing risks associated with learning the procedure on a fellow student.

Methods: A retrospective review of the teledermatology program between 2004 and 2012 was evaluated based on defined outcome measures. In addition, 658 teledermatology cases were reviewed to assess how the program was utilized by health care providers from 2011 to 2012. Results: As high as 98% of the teledermatology consults were answered within 24 hours, and 23% of consults within 1 hour. The most common final diagnoses included eczematous dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and evaluation for nonmelanoma skin cancer. The most common medications recommended included topical corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, antihistamines, and emollients. Biopsy was most commonly recommended for further evaluation. Following teleconsultation, 46 dermatologic evacuations were “avoided” as the patient was not evacuated based on the consultants’ recommendation. Consultants’ recommendations to the referring provider “facilitated” 41 evacuations. Conclusion: Telemedicine in the U.S. military has provided valuable dermatology support to providers in remote locations by delivering appropriate and timely consultation for military service members and coalition partners. In addition to avoiding unnecessary medical evacuations, the program facilitated appropriate evacuations that may otherwise have been delayed.

Musculoskeletal injury also is one of the most prevalent battle and nonbattle-related deployed injury types. Both injuries threaten the service member’s physical condition as well as unit and mission readiness due to reduced duty status or evacuation from military theater of operations. In August 2010, the Concussion Restoration Care Center (CRCC) was established at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, to address the need for consistent and specialized evaluation and care of concussion and musculoskeletal injury. This performance improvement effort examined evaluation and treatment of concussion and musculoskeletal injury at the CRCC. Among 4,947 military personnel evaluated at the CRCC between August 2010 and May 2013, 97.9% were returned to duty and retained in theater. Members averaged 10 to 12 days of limited duty status to achieve complete recovery. Concussion injury was secondary to blast injury in 90% of cases. Sport/recreation, occupational, and other accidental injuries each represented 30% of the musculoskeletal injuries with only 10% reported as result of combat. The utilization patterns and outcome measures demonstrate the success and utility of a multidisciplinary clinical model of care for these two types of injuries in the far-forward deployed setting.

A total of 10,692 SMs completed the April 2008 Status of Forces Survey of Active Duty Members. The survey asked about demographics, personal stress and occupational stress, injuries from any cause, and participation in sports- and exercise- related activities in the past year. The survey used a complex sampling procedure to create a representative sample of SMs. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations of injury outcomes with potential risk factors. 49% of SMs sought medical care for an injury in the past year and 25% sustained a sports- and exercise-related activities injury. Odds of injury were higher for the Army and Marine Corps than for the Air Force or Navy. This survey showed that higher personal and occupational stress was associated with higher risks of injury. SMs who experienced higher levels of personal or occupational stress reported higher risks of injuries. The effects of stress reduction programs on injury risks should be evaluated in military and other young physically active populations.

When peripheral venous access is indicated but cannot be obtained, the intraosseous route represents an alternative. The Bone Injection Gun (BIG) is the device used for intraosseous access by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). The purpose of this study is to assess the success rate of intraosseous access using this device. Method: The IDF Trauma Registry from 1999 to 2012 was searched for patients for whom at least 1 attempt at intraosseous access was made. Results: 37 attempts at intraosseous access were identified in 30 patients. Overall success rate was 50%. No differences in success rates were identified between different care givers. Overall mortality was 87%. Conclusion: The use of BIG in the IDF was associated with a low success rate at obtaining intraosseous access. Although inability to achieve peripheral venous access can be considered an indicator for poor prognosis, the high mortality rate for patients treated with BIG can also stand for the provider’s low confidence in using this tool, making its use a last resort. This study serves as an example to ongoing learning process that includes data collection, analysis, and improvement, constantly taking place in the IDF.

A significant percentage of patients undergo CT scans to exclude intracranial bleeds. The Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) is designed to rapidly determine whether a concussion has occurred, (0-30 scale, where >25 is considered normal). Although not intended to be used in isolation, results in the normal range are considered an indication of low suspicion of brain injury. This study evaluated the relationship between CT findings of structural injury (CT+) and performance on the SAC. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study on mild head-injured patients presenting to the emergency department who underwent CT scans and had SAC evaluations. Results: We enrolled 368 patients, of which 66 were read by a neuroradiologist as positive (CT+), with an average age of 46.7, and an average Glasgow Coma Scale of 14.85. 38.2% of these CT+ patients had a SAC score >25. There were no significant differences between time of injury and CT scan or SAC for those with high or low SAC scores. Both high and low SAC groups contained similar CT+ abnormalities (e.g., hematomas). Conclusions: These results indicate that a normal SAC score alone does not exclude intracranial injury.

Current efforts are hindered by the lack of effective in vitro cellular models to aid in the preliminary screening of potential candidate drugs/antidotes. The development of an in vitro cellular model to aid in discovering new NA therapeutics would be highly beneficial. In this regard, we have examined the response of a differentiated hybrid neuronal cell line, NSC-34, to the NA VX. VX-induced apoptosis of differentiated NSC-34 cells was measured by monitoring the changes in caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity post-exposure. Differentiated NSC-34 cells showed an increase in caspase-3 activity in a manner dependent on both time (17-23 h post-exposure) and dose (10-100 nM). The maximal increase in caspase-3 activity was found to be at 20-h post-exposure. Caspase-9 activity was also measured in response to VX and was found to be elevated at all concentrations (10-100 nM) tested. VX-induced cell death was also observed by utilizing annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytometry. Finally, VX-induced caspase-3 or -9 activities were reduced with the addition of pralidoxime (2-PAM), one of the current therapeutics used against NA toxicity, and dizocilpine (MK-801). Overall the data presented here show that differentiated NSC-34 cells are sensitive to VX-induced cell death and could be a viable in vitro cell model for screening NA candidate therapeutics.

This article provides a practical solution for reducing network traffic analysis data while expediting test and evaluation. From small lab testing to full integration test events, quality of service and other key metrics of military systems and networks are evaluated. Network data captured in standard flow formats enable scalable approaches for producing network traffic analyses. Because of its compact representation of network traffic, flow data naturally scale well. Some analyses require deep packet inspection, but many can be calculated/approximated quickly with flow data, including quality-of-service metrics like completion rate and speed of service.

Of the new compositions evaluated, one was found to exceed the military requirements in burn time, luminous intensity, dominant wavelength, and spectral purity in both the cluster and parachute configurations. The new illuminant composition is not plagued by single-point-of-failure concerns, as the Laminac 4116/Lupersol binder system has been replaced by the widely available Epon 813/Versamid 140 binder system. In addition, the new illuminant composition was found to be insensitive toward impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge and had a high thermal onset temperature.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 49 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 6762 EP - 6771 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - Ultrathin MoS sheets and nanostructures are promising materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices as well as chemical catalysts. To expand their potential in applications, a fundamental understanding is needed of the electronic structure and carrier mobility as a function of strain. In this paper, the effect of strain on electronic properties of monolayer MoS is investigated using ab initio simulations based on density functional theory. Our calculations are performed in both infinitely large two-dimensional (2D) sheets and one-dimensional (1D) nanoribbons which are theoretically cut from the sheets with semiconducting $$ [\bar{1}100] $$ (armchair) edges. The 2D crystal is studied under biaxial strain, uniaxial strain, and uniaxial stress conditions, while the 1D nanoribbon is studied under a uniaxial stress condition. Our results suggest that the electronic bandgap of the 2D sheet experiences a direct-indirect transition under both tensile and compressive strains. Its bandgap energy ( E) decreases under tensile strain/stress conditions, while for an in-plane compression, E is initially raised by a small amount and then decreased as the strain varies from 0 to −6 %. On the other hand, E at the semiconducting edges of monolayer MoS nanoribbons is relatively invariant under uniaxial stretches or compressions. The effective masses of electrons at the conduction band minimum (CBM) and holes at the valence band maximum (VBM) are generally decreased as the in-plane extensions or compressions become stronger, but abrupt changes occur when CBM or VBM shifts between different k-points in the first Brillouin zone.

The elements of the framework consist of a set of spatial geometries, flight tasks, performance metrics, a flightdynamic model, and baseline solutions. The spatial benchmarks consist of six tasks in simple geometrical environments and 10 tasks in more complex urban environments based on a real digital terrain elevation map. The framework also includes a set of performance metrics used to compare trajectories. The performance baselines used in the proposed framework are near-optimal solutions computed using one of two trajectory optimization methods: numerical optimization based on nonlinear programming for the simple geometric environments and a motion primitive automaton for problems involving the urban environments. The paper concludes with a demonstration of the benchmarking framework using the Obstacle Field Navigation system developed by the Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate.

JO - Journal of the American Helicopter Society JF - Journal of the American Helicopter Society Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 59 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - American Helicopter Society SN - 00028711 AB - The ability of a helicopter to carry externally slung loads makes it very versatile for many civil and military operations. However, the piloted handling qualities of the helicopter are degraded by the presence of the slung load. A control system is developed that uses measurements of the slung load motions as well as conventional fuselage feedback to improve the handling qualities for hover/low-speed operations. Prior research has shown a fundamental trade-off between load damping and piloted handling qualities for a feedback control system with cable angle/rate feedback. A new task-tailored approach proposed and implemented herein uses a method of switching between a load damping mode and a piloted handling qualities mode. These modes provide appropriate load feedback depending on the piloting task and flight regime. This provides improved handling qualities for maneuvering flight and for improved precision load control at hover. A new mission task element for precision load placement is developed (for possible inclusion into ADS-33E-PRF) to test the ability of the cable feedback system to improve load placement task performance. The improvements provided by this control system are demonstrated in a piloted flight test on the JUH-60A RASCAL fly-by-wire helicopter. The average load set-down time was reduced by a factor of two for the 1000-lb load on a 56-ft sling.

The second new load is a ribbon bridge interior bay section. Wind tunnel results with models of the new loads exhibit in general good agreement with flight-test results. The results of the new loads strengthen further the approach of using wind tunnel tests to accelerate slung-load clearance, as well as reduce risk and cost.

The present study includes further use of the UH-60/CONEX system to investigate effects that were observed previously, but not fully addressed. These effects include the influence of pilot inputs and helicopter motions on the coupled pilot/helicopter/slung- load dynamics, the influence of center of gravity offset of the slung load, and the behavior of a load when a yaw swivel is not used in the suspension. It is shown that all three effects are important and affect the slung-load dynamics. The capability of wind tunnel tests to predict the behavior of slung loads in flight is shown for these effects.

Radiation contamination is an impediment to most critical functions of a community; resilience planning considers how those critical functions will be maintained in the event that radiation contamination does occur. Therefore, planning should begin with resilience-based thinking and should be complemented with risk assessment-based tools. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2016;12:677-679. Published 2016.

Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

Participants were predominantly white (57%), Army (91%), enlisted (72%), males (71%), with a mean age of 30 ± 9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0 ± 4.2 kg/m(2). The cross-sectional, descriptive study included active duty service members (n = 295) recruited from Texas and Washington. Validated Motivation for Eating Scale (MFES) and Intuitive Eating Scale were administered and BMI (m/kg(2)) was dichotomized at <25 or ≥25 kg/m(2). Descriptive, correlation, t-test, and logistic regression analysis were conducted for BMI category with demographic, lifestyle, and MFES/Intuitive Eating Scale scores (α = 0.05; 80% power). Thirty-six percent were normal BMI (22.7 ± 1.6 kg/m(2)) and 64% were overweight/obese BMI (29.3 ± 3.3 kg/m(2)). Mean BMI was 27.8 ± 4.2 kg/m(2) (males) and 24.8 ± 3.4 kg/m(2) (females) (p < 0.001). Physical MFES type was predominant (77% normal BMI vs. 66% overweight; p = 0.001). Males ate for physical rather than emotional reasons (p = 0.014). Each 1-point increase in Reliance on Internal Hunger Satiety Score was associated with 34% lower odds of being overweight. Disparity existed between sex and intuitive eating characteristic. Increasing awareness of eating influences may improve weight-related dietary behaviors.

Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

The mission of the FST is to provide resuscitative and damage control surgery for stabilization of life-threatening injuries in austere environments. The Army Trauma Training Center began in 2001 at the University of Miami Ryder Trauma Center under the direction of COL T. E. Knuth, MC USA (Ret.), as a multimodality combination of lectures, laboratory exercises, and clinical experiences that provided the only predeployment mass casualty and clinical trauma training center for all FSTs. Each of the subsequent five directors has restructured the training based on dynamic feedback from trainees, current military needs, and on the rapid advances in combat casualty care. We have highlighted these evolutionary changes at the Army Trauma Training Center in previous reviews. Under the current director, LTC J. M. Seery, MC USA, there are new team-building exercises, mobile learning modules and simulators, and other alternative methods in the mass casualty exercise. This report summarizes the latest updates to the state of the art training since the last review.

The four family types are balanced, moderately balanced, midrange, and extreme. The five personality traits are extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness, emotional stability, and conscientiousness. Data were collected through anonymous questionnaires distributed to combat-naïve Soldiers at the beginning of their advanced individual training. This study utilized the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale1 and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory2 as measures. Overall the analyses found that participants classified as a balanced family type scored significantly higher on the personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience than those classified in the family types of extreme, midrange, and moderately balanced. It appears that family types are associated with personality traits. This study opens doors to future research including looking at how family and personality types relate to each other in military units and personnel.

After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals.

Its treatment by surgical fasciotomy continues to be useful but controversial. The purpose of this survey is to measure survival and fasciotomy in a large trauma system to characterize trends and to determine if fasciotomy is associated with improved survival.Methods: We retrospectively surveyed data from a military trauma registry for U.S. casualties from 2001 to 2010. Casualties had extremity injury or extremity fasciotomy. We associated survival and fasciotomy.Results: Of 17,166 casualties in the total study, 19% (3,313) had fasciotomy and 2.8% (481) had compartment syndrome. Annual fasciotomy rates started at 0% (2001) and rose to 26% (2010). For all casualties, the survival rate initially was high (100%) but decreased steadily until its nadir (96.4%) in 2005. Thereafter, it increased to make a V-shaped trend with reversal occurring after fielding two interventions within the trauma system specifically for casualties at risk for fasciotomy-tourniquet use and a fasciotomy education program.Conclusions: Over a decade of war, the survival rate of extremity injured casualties was associated with two trauma system interventions-tourniquet usage and a fasciotomy education program. The current example of measuring implementation of initiatives may be useful as a model for future attempted improvements in health care.

The benefits and burdens of modularity are considered by studying historical programs dating back to World War II. Using a taxonomy developed at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, vehicles were considered based on horizontal modularity, vertical modularity, and distributed modularity. Examples were given for each type, including the most extensive attempt at horizontal modularity in the 1980s, known as the Armored Family of Vehicles. Following these examples, various cost/benefit studies over the life cycle of the vehicle are reviewed with differing conclusions depending on the initial assumptions. Finally, a number of design factors are included that should be considered in any program on modular vehicles, as well as some recent initiatives that guide the path forward.

Evidence has suggested that lipid emulsion infusion therapy has been successful in the treatment of antidepressant overdose. No studies have determined the optimal combination of lipid/advanced cardiovascular life support therapy for treatment.Methods: This study was a prospective, experimental, between subjects design with a swine model investigating the effectiveness of drug combinations administered with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) postvenlafexine overdose. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of eight groups containing seven subjects. The groups tested were CPR only and CPR with epinephrine alone; vasopressin alone; lipid alone; epinephrine and vasopressin; epinephrine and lipid; vasopressin and lipid; and epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipid. The outcomes of interest were survival odds and time to return of spontaneous circulation.Results: Results on these swine models indicate that the use of vasopressin coupled with lipids for venlafaxine overdose resulted in a higher survival rate when compared to the control group (p = 0.023). Groups receiving vasopressin experienced statistically faster times to return of spontaneous circulation than other groups (p = 0.019).Conclusions: The results suggest that in swine models, the optimal treatment for venlafaxine overdose would include vasopressin with lipids.

According to our model, certain originally electrically “inactive” oxygen vacancies are structurally transformed into electrically “active” defects in the presence of strong negative bias and temperature. These newly generated defect configurations function as short-lived or long-lived switching oxide hole traps. The transients of their generation process are shown to correlate well with the measured “short-term” threshold voltage instability. Additionally, we show that the long-lived defects continue to degrade the room-temperature reliability of these devices even after stress removal.

This paper summarizes the steps involved in accurately representing the offshore wave climate for the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) domain, defined from the United States-Canadian border in Maine to the Virginia-North Carolina border. The motivation of the regional wave modeling is to provide offshore boundary conditions for the simulation of extreme extratropical and synthetic tropical events to drive the nearshore wave and surge modeling efforts within the NACCS. The offshore wave conditions were estimated using the third-generation WAve Modelling (WAM) model. Value-added wind fields were defined for each of the four wave model grids (North Atlantic Ocean Basin, U.S. Coastal Regional scale, and two subregional-scale grid systems covering the NACCS coastal domain). Five tropical events (Hurricanes Sandy, Irene, Isabel, and Gloria and Tropical Storm Josephine) and 17 extratropical events were simulated to evaluate WAM's performance. Model results were compared with 30 point-source measurements available during these storm events. Time, scatter, and quartile-quartile plots; Taylor diagrams; and a battery of statistical tests were used in the evaluation process. The WAM provided quality zero-moment wave height estimates, with biases in the range of -0.07 to -0.14 m, RMS errors (RMSEs) of about 0.40 m, scatter indexes (SIs) around 25%, and a correlation of 0.95 compared with the measurements. The wave period results contained the greatest errors with peak period biases of -0.26 to 0.06 s, RMSEs from 2.4 to 2.7 s, SIs near 25%, and a correlation between 0.47 and 0.59. The mean period biases were about -0.70s,RMSEs were about 1.5 s, and there was a correlation of 0.6-0.7. The mean wave direction biases ranged from 4.5 to -0.34° with RMSEs of 55°.

The magazine is not, despite appearances, primarily designed for direct recruiting efforts or inciting violence against the West. In fact, the primary audiences ofDabiqare English-speaking second generation Muslims or converts, Western policymakers, and a third group of current or would-be members of ISIS who are not integrating with the organization itself. The third audience—those members who are failing to function within the organization—is strange to include in an English-language magazine. Why publish organizational weaknesses, in English? One possibility for this puzzle is that the fundamentalist hermeneutics of ISIS is reflected in their own media efforts. One of the assumptions that ISIS holds about their sacred texts is that each text carries a single meaning that reflects the author's original intent. There might be multiple applications of that intent, but each text can only have one intent, and therefore one meaning. Following this logic, a message meant for one person is unlikely to be of utility for another, and so this may be why ISIS exposes their weaknesses as part of the process of correcting their own members.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology J1 - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology PY - 2017/01// Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 66 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 268 EP - 281 SN - 00189545 AB - The problem of modulation classification for a multiple-antenna (multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)) system employing orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is investigated under the assumption of unknown frequency-selective fading channels and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The classification problem is formulated as a Bayesian inference task, and solutions are proposed based on Gibbs sampling and mean field variational inference. The proposed methods rely on a selection of the prior distributions that adopts a latent Dirichlet model for the modulation type and on the Bayesian network (BN) formalism. The Gibbs sampling method converges to the optimal Bayesian solution, and using numerical results, its accuracy is seen to improve for small sample sizes when switching to the mean field variational inference technique after a number of iterations. The speed of convergence is shown to improve via annealing and random restarts. While most of the literature on modulation classification assumes that the channels are flat fading, that the number of receive antennas is no less than that of transmit antennas, and that a large number of observed data symbols are available, the proposed methods perform well under more general conditions. Finally, the proposed Bayesian methods are demonstrated to improve over existing non-Bayesian approaches based on independent component analysis (ICA) and on prior Bayesian methods based on the “superconstellation” method.

Stated another way, can their constitutional duties to obedience to civilian authority ever clash so severely with their responsibilities to their profession and its fiduciary trust with the American people that dissent is obligated. The position offered here is that senior military professionals always retain the moral agency for such dissent. It inheres in their role as a steward of an American military profession exercising the discretionary judgments that are the moral core of their professional work.

Contrary to the previous work, a generalized attack model is employed which manipulates the data using transformations with arbitrary functional forms determined by some attack parameters whose values are unknown to the attacked system. For the first time, necessary and sufficient conditions are provided under which the transformations provide a guaranteed attack performance in terms of Cramer–Rao Bound (CRB) regardless of the processing the estimation system employs, thus defining a highly desirable attack. Interestingly, these conditions imply that, for any such attack when the attacked sensors can be perfectly identified by the estimation system, either the Fisher information matrix (FIM) for jointly estimating the desired and attack parameters is singular or that the attacked system is unable to improve the CRB for the desired vector parameter through this joint estimation even though the joint FIM is nonsingular. It is shown that it is always possible to construct such a highly desirable attack by properly employing a sufficiently large dimension attack vector parameter relative to the number of quantization levels employed, which was not observed previously. To illustrate the theory in a concrete way, we also provide some numerical results which corroborate that under the highly desirable attack, attacked data are not useful in reducing the CRB.

Shock-induced depolarization releases an electric charge at the electrodes of the ferroelectric element, and a high electric potential and a high electric field appear across the element. We performed systematic studies of the electric breakdown field, Eb(d) , as a function of the ferroelectric element thickness, $d$ , for Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 (PZT 95/5) and Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT 52/48) ceramics compressed by transverse shock waves (shock front propagates perpendicular to the polarization vector) and established a relationship between these two values: E_{b}(d) = \textrm {const}\cdot d^{-\xi } . This law was found to be true in a wide range of ferroelectric element thicknesses from 1 to 50 mm. This result makes it possible to predict ferroelectric generator (FEG) output voltages up to 500 kV and it forms the basis for the design of ultrahigh-voltage FEG systems.

Methods and Results Spores (>7 log10) were mixed with humic acid + spent sporulation medium (organic debris) or kaolin (dirt debris). Spore samples were then dried on five different test materials (wiring insulation, aircraft performance coating, anti-skid, polypropylene, and nylon). Inoculated materials were tested with 19 test combinations of temperature (55, 65, 75°C), relative humidity (70, 80, 90%) and time (1, 2, 3 days). The slowest spore inactivation kinetics was on nylon webbing and/or after addition of organic debris. Conclusions Hot, humid air effectively decontaminates materials contaminated with dirty Bacillus spore preparations; debris and material interactions create complex decontamination kinetic patterns; and B. thuringiensis Al Hakam is a realistic surrogate for B. anthracis. Significance and Impact of the Study Response surface models of hot, humid air decontamination were developed which may be used to select decontamination parameters for contamination scenarios including aircraft.

Two forced-gradient bacterial transport tests of site groundwater containing chloride or bromide tracer and either a mixed culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 ( xplAKm), Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 (pGKT2 transconjugant; xplAKm) and Pseudomonas fluorescens I-C ( xenB), or a single culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 ( xplA; i.e. wild-type) were conducted at UMCD. Groundwater monitoring evaluated cell viability and migration in the injection well and downgradient monitoring wells. Enhanced degradation of RDX was not evaluated in these demonstrations. Quantitative PCR analysis of xplA, the kanamycin resistance gene ( aph), and xenB indicated that the mixed culture was transported at least 3 m within 2 h of injection. During a subsequent field injection of bioaugmented groundwater, strain KTR9 (wild-type) migrated up to 23-m downgradient of the injection well within 3 days. Thus, the three RDX-degrading strains were effectively introduced and transported within the UMCD aquifer. This demonstration represents an innovative application of bioaugmentation to potentially enhance RDX biodegradation in aerobic aquifers.

T1 - Sensitivity of freshwater molluscs to hydrilla-targeting herbicides: providing context for invasive aquatic weed control in diverse ecosystems. JO - Journal of Freshwater Ecology JF - Journal of Freshwater Ecology Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 30 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 335 EP - 348 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 02705060 AB - Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) is an invasive aquatic weed that has spread rapidly throughout the USA, especially in the southeast. A common control method is the application of aquatic herbicides, such as fluridone and endothall. However, there is limited documentation on the effects of herbicides commonly used to control hydrilla and other aquatic weeds on many non-target freshwater species and no published information exists on the toxicity of these herbicides to freshwater molluscs. We exposed juveniles (96 h) and glochidia (48 h) of the unionid musselLampsilis siliquoideaand adults (28 d) ofLampsilis fullerkatito a formulation of fluridone (Sonar – PR®) in laboratory toxicity tests. The early life stages ofL. siliquoideawere also exposed to a formulation of the dipotassium salt of endothall (Aquathol – K®) in separate tests. Juveniles of the freshwater gastropod snail,Somatogyrus viriginicus(Lithoglyphidae), were exposed (96 h) to the Sonar – Genesis® fluridone formulation. Endpoints were survival (all species and life stages) as well as siphoning behavior and foot protrusion (adult mussels). Median lethal fluridone concentrations (LC50s) were 865 μg/L (95% CI, 729–1,026 μg/L) for glochidia (24 h), 511 μg/L (309–843 μg/L) for juvenileL. siliquoidea(96 h), and 500 μg/L (452–553 μg/L) for juvenileS. viriginicus(96 h). No mortality occurred in the 28-d exposure of adultL. fullerkatiand we found no statistically significant effect of fluridone concentration on foot protrusion (p= 0.06) or siphoning behavior (p= 0.08). The 24-h LC50 for glochidia exposed to the dipotassium salt of endothall was 31.2 mg/L (30.3–32.2 mg/L) and the 96-h LC50 for juvenile mussels was 34.4 mg/L (29.3–40.5 mg/L). Freshwater molluscs were more sensitive to fluridone and endothall than most other species previously tested. Fluridone and endothall concentrations typically recommended for hydrilla treatment (5–15 μg/L and 1–5 mg/L, respectively) were not acutely toxic to the molluscs we tested and a 28-d exposure to fluridone was not lethal to adult mussels even at the highest concentration (300 μg/L), indicating minimal risk of short-term exposure effects.

SN - 21945403 AB - The long-term effects of sediment exposure on aquatic organisms are poorly understood, yet it is critical for determining threshold effects and exposure limits to mitigate potential impacts with regard to population dynamics. In this paper, we present the current state of knowledge to help consolidate the breadth of information regarding total suspended solids (TSS) thresholds for aquatic species, as well as identify areas where data are lacking. More specifically, we provide the state of the science related to TSS effects on freshwater and estuarine fish including short-term (i.e., physiology and behavior) and long-term effects. Our research indicated that little attention has been given to examining long-term effects, e.g., transgenerational effects, from suspended sediments (SS) on fish populations. Understanding transgenerational effects is paramount to developing and predicting the links between fish condition, survival, populations, and communities. Survival of a local fish population to high sediment loads often translates into short-term physiological and behavioral effects; however, the ramifications of such exposure events are rarely tracked across generations. The majority of studies involving SS effects on fish have focused on exposure and mortality rates of affected fish, deposited eggs, or larvae. We developed a conceptual model that highlighted the interactions between sediment dynamics and fish populations. The model can assist in the formulation of more quantitative-based approaches for modeling these interactions. Future research efforts should focus on developing an understanding of whether environmental disturbances, e.g., dredging, may lead to epigenetic changes that may lead to cascade population effects, and if so, under what circumstances.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 389 EP - 400 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 21945403 AB - The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, recognizes the value of the city's urban forest in terms of air quality, lower wind speeds, esthetics, energy conservation, reduced noise pollution, habitat value, decreased runoff, and bolstering of local businesses and property values. The density, composition, and location of street and city park trees comprising the urban forest will be influenced by future climate-driven extreme weather events. In this study, we have developed an approach for assessing impacts of multiple extreme weather scenarios likely to become more frequent under climate change and subsequently influence the composition of street and park trees. This potential for loss of trees as a result of one (or more) of these climate-related extreme weather events is considered to be one indicator of the susceptibility of Cambridge's urban forest to climate-related weather events. The scenarios considered were a hurricane/tropical storm similar to tropical storm Sandy in 2012, heat stress, snow or ice loading (e.g., loss of tree limbs), Asian longhorn beetle or emerald ash borer infestations, and the cumulative effect from the addition of all these scenarios. The literature was used to assess the sensitivity of tree species to each threat and determine the anticipated loss of individuals from each species. The results are a reasonable indication of the more tolerant tree species in Cambridge and their locations. This assessment of susceptibility can inform proactive management of the urban forest.

SN - 0364152X AB - With the recent increase in utility-scale wind energy development, researchers have become increasingly concerned how this activity will affect wildlife and their habitat. To understand the potential impacts of wind energy facilities (WEF) post-construction (i.e., operation and maintenance) on wildlife, we compared differences in activity centers and survivorship of Agassiz's desert tortoises ( Gopherus agassizii) inside or near a WEF to neighboring tortoises living near a wilderness area (NWA) and farther from the WEF. We found that the size of tortoise activity centers varied, but not significantly so, between the WEF (6.25 ± 2.13 ha) and adjacent NWA (4.13 ± 1.23 ha). However, apparent survival did differ significantly between the habitat types: over the 18-year study period apparent annual survival estimates were 0.96 ± 0.01 for WEF tortoises and 0.92 ± 0.02 for tortoises in the NWA. High annual survival suggests that operation and maintenance of the WEF has not caused considerable declines in the adult population over the past two decades. Low traffic volume, enhanced resource availability, and decreased predator populations may influence annual survivorship at this WEF. Further research on these proximate mechanisms and population recruitment would be useful for mitigating and managing post-development impacts of utility-scale wind energy on long-lived terrestrial vertebrates.

SN - 07490208 AB - Houston, J.R., 2015. Shoreline response to sea-level rise on the southwest coast of Florida. The state of Florida has a unique database of shoreline position measured about every 300 m and dating back to the mid-1800s that presents an opportunity to determine the effects of sea-level rise on shoreline position. In addition to sea-level rise (Bruun rule initially assumed), data are available on the southwest coast of Florida for other factors contributing to shoreline change, including beach nourishment, inlet shoal change, and longshore sediment transport. The sum of these factors should have caused significant shoreline recession, but instead the average shoreline position of this coast was stable during the early period from the 1800s to the 1970s (prior to beach nourishment) and strongly accretive from the 1800s to the 2000s. When the Bruun rule is used, shoreline change predicted by the sum of the factors compares poorly with measured data, but it compares quite well when the Dean equilibrium concept is used. The Dean equilibrium concept says that under wave action and with sufficient available offshore sand, shorelines will advance with sea-level rise due to onshore sand transport. Long-term shoreline change data for most of the Florida east coast and the Dutch central coast also support the Dean equilibrium concept. The source of the onshore sand transport in southwest Florida is identified. Sea-level rise results in long-term shoreline advance rather than recession for shorelines with sufficient onshore sand movement from beyond closure depth to the active profile, probably during episodic storms.

SN - 07490208 AB - Styles, R., 2015. Flow and turbulence over an oyster reef. Simultaneous measurements of near-bed flow and turbulence were collected on opposite banks of an intertidal channel in the North Inlet/Winyah Bay National Estuary Research Reserve. One bank supported an extensive cover of oysters and the other a mixture of sand and mud. The measurements allow comparisons of flow and turbulence characteristics in a similar flow regime but widely varying roughness conditions. Near-bed velocities are higher over the sandbank and occur during the maximum flood portion of the tidal cycle. In contrast, turbulence parameters are higher over the oyster reef, resulting from the presence of the larger roughness elements. Turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stress components increase as a function of flow speed, consistent with equilibrium boundary layer shear flows. For some bursts, the energy spectrum exhibits a −5/3 slope, indicating a defined inertial subrange. Dissipation over the oyster bank is on the order of 10 cm2 s−3 during maximum flood, when the near-bed current speeds are greatest. Drag coefficient and hydraulic roughness are likewise greater over the oyster bank, with average values of CD = 0.025 and z0 = 0.78 cm compared with CD = 0.004 and z0 = 0.02 cm for the sandbank. The analysis reveals a simple roughness formula for oysters in which the physical bottom roughness is equal to 5 times the average height of the oysters.

Evolution of a swash zone berm nourishment and influence of berm elevation on the performance of beach-nearshore nourishments along Perdido Key, Florida, USA. A nourishment was placed within the swash zone along eastern Perdido Key, Florida, in 2011-2012 using maintenance-dredged material from nearby Pensacola Pass, referred to here as a 'swash zone berm nourishment.' The study area was divided into three sections, the swash zone berm project and two adjacent areas to the west and east, and was monitored with time series beach surveys. The performance of the 2011-2012 nourishment with a constructed berm elevation of +0.91m North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88) was compared with two previous nourishments in 1985 and 1989-1991, with +3.0 m NAVD88 and +1.2 m NAVD88 elevations, respectively. The low elevation for the 2011-2012 nourishment allowed natural overwash processes to occur frequently, which resulted in net onshore sediment transport and growth of the active berm. The swash zone berm evolved back to the natural equilibrium profile shape maintained in the study area within 8 months. The high-wave energy conditions associated with the passages of Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Isaac accelerated the equilibrium process. Sediment volume gain west of the project area due to longshore spreading of the nourishment occurred mostly in the trough between the shoreline and the bar, rather than on the dry beach. In terms of rate of shoreline retreat, the short 1.2-km 1985 nourishment performed the poorest with a rate of 40 m/y. The long 7.3-km 1989-1991 nourishment performed the best with a retreat rate of 11 m/y. This suggests that high berm elevations do not necessarily lead to better nourishment performance. Instead, longshore extent of a nourishment may dominate project performance. Furthermore, the very high nourishment density of 1550 m3/m did not improve nourishment longevity.

As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the time. The different character of the military community and of the military mission requires a different application of those protections. The fundamental necessity for obedience, and the consequent necessity for the imposition of discipline, may render permissible within the military that which would be constitutionally impossible outside it.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2010/01/15/ VL - 107 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 024901 EP - 024910 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Using the classical molecular dynamics method we simulate the mechanochemical behavior of small (i.e., core diameter<10 nm) oxide coated aluminum nanoparticles. Aluminum nanoparticles with core diameters of approximately 5 and 8 nm are simulated with 1 and 2 nm thick oxide coatings or shells. In addition to thickness the shells are parametrized by varying degrees of crystallinity, density, and atomic ratios in order to study their effect on the ignition of nanoparticle oxidation. The oxide shells are parametrized to consider oxide coatings with the defects that commonly occur during the formation of an oxide layer and for comparison with a defect free crystalline oxide shell. Computed results include the diffusion coefficients of aluminum cations for each shell configuration and over a range of temperatures. The observed results are discussed and compared with the ignition mechanisms reported in the literature. From this effort we have found that the oxidation ignition mechanism for nanometer sized oxide coated aluminum particles is the result of an enhanced transport due to a built-in electric field induced by the oxide shell. This is in contrast to the currently assumed pressure driven diffusion process. This induced electric field accounts for approximately 90% of the mass flux of aluminum ions through the oxide shell. The computed electric fields show good agreement with published theoretical and experimental results.

Precision material placement in the capillary from a 100 pl drop inkjetted into the well is achieved without the destruction of the microstructure and adjacent submicron electrostatic gaps. This method scales to smaller structures without the need for drop miniaturization. The theory behind the solute transfer in the system is developed. Three regions in the drying process are observed and match with the model. The “accumulation” region builds solute concentration in the capillary. The “solidification” region initiates the solidification of solute starting at the free end of the capillary. The “termination” region is characterized by a rapid increase in the solidification due to an increase in the well concentration near the end of the drop lifetime. The accumulation time and solidification rate dependence on concentration compare well with the model.

All three forms are written in terms of forces acting on atoms, and so are valid for arbitrary many-body interatomic potentials. All three forms are mathematically equivalent. In the special case of atoms interacting with pair potentials, they reduce to previously published forms. (i) The atom-cell form is similar to the standard expression for the virial for a finite nonperiodic system, but with an explicit correction for interactions with periodic images. (ii) The atom form is particularly suited to implementation in modern molecular dynamics simulation codes using spatial decomposition parallel algorithms. (iii) The group form of the virial allows the contributions to the virial to be assigned to individual atoms.

In the CM method, the misfit-lattice induced strain can be reduced to an analytical expression that is straightforward to evaluate numerically. Different from most previous analyses for QDs in infinite spaces, we address cubic and pyramidal QDs located in half-space substrates with different lattice orientations, which more realistically describe experimental situations in most instances. The band edges within the cubic and pyramidal InAs QDs embedded in GaAs substrates are predicted within the six-band k·p basis via both a published approximation and the presented exact approach. Comparison of the strain-induced local band edge shows that the approximate method adopted previously in literature could result in a substantial error near the interface region of the QD. The strain-induced band edges along the bottom center line of the QD can differ by a factor of 2 between the two approaches. Furthermore, the effect of the free surface on the strain-induced band edges is studied by varying the depth of the buried QD. When the QD is moved away from the surface, the band edges converge in a consistent way to the infinite-space solution. Comparison with available experimental results validates our exact model within the half-space substrate and shows the importance of treating the surface in a theoretically rigorous way.

An axially aligned set of progressively shrinking elastic spheres, a “tapered chain,” has been shown to be a versatile and scalable shock absorber in earlier simulational, theoretical, and experimental works by several authors. We have recently shown (see R. L. Doney and S. Sen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 155502 (2006)) that the shock absorption ability of a tapered chain can be dramatically enhanced by placing small interstitial grains between the regular grains in the tapered chain systems. Here we focus on a detailed study of the problem introduced in the above mentioned letter, present extensive dynamical simulations using parameters for a titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy Ti6Al4V, derive attendant hard-sphere analyses based formulae to describe energy dispersion, and finally discuss some preliminary experimental results using systems with chrome spheres and small Nitinol interstitial grains to present the underlying nonlinear dynamics of this so-called decorated tapered granular alignment. We are specifically interested in small systems, comprised of several grains. This is because in real applications, mass and volume occupied must inevitably be minimized. Our conclusion is that the decorated tapered chain offers enhanced energy dispersion by locking in much of the input energy in the grains of the tapered chain rather than in the small interstitial grains. Thus, the present study offers insights into how the shock absorption capabilities of these systems can be pushed even further by improving energy absorption capabilities of the larger grains in the tapered chains. We envision that these scalable, decorated tapered chains may be used as shock absorbing components in body armor, armored vehicles, building applications and in perhaps even in applications in rehabilitation science.

The effect of particle size on reaction time and temperature for separate nanoparticles has been considered as a model system for a powder metallurgy system. Coated nanoparticles in the form of Ni-coated Al nanoparticles and Al-coated Ni nanoparticles are also analyzed as a model for nanoparticles embedded within a matrix. The differences in melting temperature and phase change behavior, e.g., the volumetric expansion of Al between Al and Ni, are expected to produce differing results for the coated nanoparticle systems. For instance, the volumetric expansion of Al upon melting is expected to produce large tensile stresses and possibly rupture in the Ni shell for Ni-coated Al. Simulation results show that the sintering time for separate and coated nanoparticles is nearly linearly dependent on the number of atoms or volume of the sintering nanoparticles. We have also found that nanoparticle size and surface energy are important factors in determining the adiabatic reaction temperature for both systems at nanoparticle sizes of less than 10 nm in diameter.

Strong ultraviolet emission at 298 nm (1I6→3H6), 355 nm (1I6→3F4), and 371 nm (1D2→3H6), as well as the familiar blue emission at 463 nm (1D2→3F4), and 479 nm (1G4→3H6), is found to depend sensitively on the Al content, excitation wavelength (i.e., direct or indirect), excitation type (continuous wave versus pulsed), and upper state of the transition.

The threshold voltage, effective electron mobility, as well as fixed charge, oxide trap, and interface trap concentrations have been separately obtained using conventional dc sweep, capacitance-voltage (C-V), fast current-voltage (I-V), and low frequency noise measurements. The results show that devices with as grown SiO2 have a much higher density of “slow” bulk oxide traps than devices after postoxidation annealing in NO. The oxide fixed charge density is unaffected by the annealing process. Devices fabricated on ion-implanted channels exhibit only a small increase in the slow bulk oxide trap density and the fixed charge. However, the density of the “fast” interface traps increases dramatically. This suggests that the damage due to the ion-implantation process is mainly interfacial. In contrast to Si devices, this ion-implantation damage is not completely repaired even after annealing.

To ascertain the effect of this microstructure on its optical properties, room temperature absorption and photoluminescence characteristics of InxAl(1_X)N were comparatively investigated for indium compositions ranging from x = 0.092 to 0.235, including x = 0.166 lattice matched to GaN. The Stokes shift of the emission was significantly greater than reported for films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, possibly due to the phase separation in these nanocolumnar domains. The room temperature photoluminescence also provided evidence of carrier transfer from the InAlN film to the GaN template.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 9 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Liver injuries due to ingestion or exposure to chemicals and industrial toxicants pose a serious health risk that may be hard to assess due to a lack of non-invasive diagnostic tests. Mapping chemical injuries to organ-specific damage and clinical outcomes via biomarkers or biomarker panels will provide the foundation for highly specific and robust diagnostic tests. Here, we have used DrugMatrix, a toxicogenomics database containing organ-specific gene expression data matched to dose-dependent chemical exposures and adverse clinical pathology assessments in Sprague Dawley rats, to identify groups of co-expressed genes (modules) specific to injury endpoints in the liver. We identified 78 such gene co-expression modules associated with 25 diverse injury endpoints categorized from clinical pathology, organ weight changes, and histopathology. Using gene expression data associated with an injury condition, we showed that these modules exhibited different patterns of activation characteristic of each injury. We further showed that specific module genes mapped to 1) known biochemical pathways associated with liver injuries and 2) clinically used diagnostic tests for liver fibrosis. As such, the gene modules have characteristics of both generalized and specific toxic response pathways. Using these results, we proposed three gene signature sets characteristic of liver fibrosis, steatosis, and general liver injury based on genes from the co-expression modules. Out of all 92 identified genes, 18 (20%) genes have well-documented relationships with liver disease, whereas the rest are novel and have not previously been associated with liver disease. In conclusion, identifying gene co-expression modules associated with chemically induced liver injuries aids in generating testable hypotheses and has the potential to identify putative biomarkers of adverse health effects.

JO - PLoS Genetics JF - PLoS Genetics Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 10 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537390 AB - We developed a highly sensitive assay to detect transcription errors in vivo. The assay is based on suppression of a missense mutation in the active site tyrosine in the Cre recombinase. Because Cre acts as tetramer, background from translation errors are negligible. Functional Cre resulting from rare transcription errors that restore the tyrosine codon can be detected by Cre-dependent rearrangement of reporter genes. Hence, transient transcription errors are captured as stable genetic changes. We used this Cre-based reporter to screen for mutations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RPB1 (RPO21) that increase the level of misincorporation during transcription. The mutations are in three domains of Rpb1, the trigger loop, the bridge helix, and in sites involved in binding to TFIIS. Biochemical characterization demonstrates that these variants have elevated misincorporation, and/or ability to extend mispaired bases, or defects in TFIIS mediated editing.

T1 - Disease and community structure: white-nose syndrome alters spatial and temporal niche partitioning in sympatric bat species. JO - Diversity & Distributions JF - Diversity & Distributions Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 20 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1002 EP - 1015 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13669516 AB - Aim Emerging infectious diseases present a major perturbation with apparent direct effects such as reduced population density, extirpation and/or extinction. Comparatively less is known about the potential indirect effects of disease that likely alter community structure and larger ecosystem function. Since 2006, white-nose syndrome ( WNS) has resulted in the loss of over 6 million hibernating bats in eastern North America. Considerable evidence exists concerning niche partitioning in sympatric bat species in this region, and the unprecedented, rapid decline in multiple species following WNS may provide an opportunity to observe a dramatic restructuring of the bat community. Location We conducted our study at Fort Drum Army Installation in Jefferson and Lewis counties, New York, USA, where WNS first impacted extant bat species in winter 2007-2008. Methods Acoustical monitoring during 2003-2011 allowed us to test the hypothesis that spatial and temporal niche partitioning by bats was relaxed post- WNS. Results We detected nine bat species pre- and post- WNS. Activity for most bat species declined post- WNS. Dramatic post- WNS declines in activity of little brown bat ( Myotis lucifugus, MYLU), formerly the most abundant bat species in the region, were associated with complex, often species-specific responses by other species that generally favoured increased spatial and temporal overlap with MYLU. Main conclusions In addition to the obvious direct effects of disease on bat populations and activity levels, our results provide evidence that disease can have cascading indirect effects on community structure. Recent occurrence of WNS in North America, combined with multiple existing stressors, is resulting in dramatic shifts in temporal and spatial niche partitioning within bat communities. These changes might influence long-term population viability of some bat species as well as broader scale ecosystem structure and function.

Genocide narratives traditionally cast women as victims, and many women did suffer horrific abuses and become victims of torture in Rwanda. However, this gender-based characterization of women is inaccurate and incomplete. After presenting a multidisciplinary body of literature relevant to female agency during genocide, this article explores three core questions related to female agency during the Rwandan genocide. It discusses how women were mobilized before and during the genocide, the specific actions of women who exercised agency and finally what happened to these women in the aftermath of the genocide. This article is based upon research that was gathered by the author and includes interviews of female perpetrators as well as victims and witnesses of direct violence committed by women. The article asserts that women played an active role in the Rwandan genocide but are often excluded from the dominant narrative. This article also addresses the implications of ignoring female perpetrators of genocide. It suggests that such an oversight may have a detrimental impact on the long-term peace and stability in post-genocide Rwanda.

Data Source: We used military health care claims from October 2006 to September 2010. Study Design/Analysis: Retrospective, multiple-year comparisons were conducted using trend analyses, and time series regression-based generalized linear models. Results: Over 5 years, FMS prevalence rates increased from 0.307% to 0.522%, whereas IBS and CFS prevalence rates remained stable. The largest increase in FMS prevalence occurred between 2007 and 2008. Health care utilization was higher for FMS cases compared to IBS and CFS cases. Over 5 years, the total cost for FMS-related care increased $163.2 million, whereas IBS costs increased $14.9 million and CFS cost increased $3.7 million. Between 2006 and 2010, total pharmacy cost for FMS cases increased from $55 million ($3,641/person) to $96.3 million ($3,557/person). Conclusion: Although cause and effect cannot be established, the advent of federally approved drugs for FMS in concert with pharmaceutical industry marketing of these drugs coincide with the observed changes in prevalence, health care utilization, and costs of FMS relative to IBS and CFS.

T1 - Phase and Texture Evolution in Chemically Derived PZT Thin Films on Pt Substrates. JO - Journal of the American Ceramic Society JF - Journal of the American Ceramic Society Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 97 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2973 EP - 2979 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00027820 AB - The crystallization of lead zirconate titanate ( PZT) thin films was evaluated on two different platinum-coated Si substrates. One substrate consisted of a Pt coating on a Ti adhesion layer, whereas the other consisted of a Pt coating on a TiO2 adhesion layer. The Pt deposited on TiO2 exhibited a higher degree of preferred orientation than the Pt deposited on Ti (as measured by the Full Width at Half Maximum of the 111 peak about the sample normal). PZT thin films with a nominal Zr/Ti ratio of 52/48 were deposited on the substrates using the inverted mixing order ( IMO) route. Phase and texture evolution of the thin films were monitored during crystallization using in situ X-ray diffraction at a synchrotron source. The intensity of the Pt3Pb phase indicated that deposition on a highly oriented Pt/TiO2 substrate resulted in less diffusion of Pb into the substrate relative to films deposited on Pt/Ti. There was also no evidence of the pyrochlore phase influencing texture evolution. The results suggest that PZT nucleates directly on Pt, which explains the observation of a more highly oriented 111 texture of PZT on the Pt/TiO2 substrate than on the Pt/Ti substrate.

We report record high drive current of 98 μA/μm for the electron conduction and 110 μA/um for the hole conduction in Schottky barrier WSe2 FETs. Then, we combine high performance WSe2 PFET with WSe2 NFET in double gated transistor geometry to demonstrate a fully complementary logic inverter. We also show that by adjusting the threshold voltages for the NFET and the PFET, the gain and the noise margin of the inverter can be significantly enhanced. The maximum gain of our chemical doping free WSe2 inverter was found to be ~25 and the noise margin was close to its ideal value of °2.5 V for a supply voltage of VDD = 5.0 V.

SN - 16182642 AB - Although nerve agent use is prohibited, concerns remain for human exposure to nerve agents during decommissioning, research, and warfare. Exposure can be detected through the analysis of hydrolysis products in urine as well as blood. An analytical method to detect exposure to five nerve agents, including VX, VR (Russian VX), GB (sarin), GD (soman), and GF (cyclosarin), through the analysis of the hydrolysis products, which are the primary metabolites, in serum has been developed and characterized. This method uses solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for separation and isotopic dilution tandem mass spectrometry for detection. An uncommon buffer of ammonium fluoride was used to enhance ionization and improve sensitivity when coupled with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography resulting in detection limits from 0.3 to 0.5 ng/mL. The assessment of two quality control samples demonstrated high accuracy (101-105 %) and high precision (5-8 %) for the detection of these five nerve agent hydrolysis products in serum.

SN - 09462171 AB - Kerr self-focusing of high-power ultrashort laser pulses in atmosphere may result in a structure or structures of high intensity that can propagate over long distances with little divergence. Filamentation has garnered significant interest in the nonlinear optics community due to its unique properties. Salient features of filaments include a central region of intense laser power (greater than the ionization threshold of the propagation medium) and a low temperature plasma column that lasts up to nanoseconds in duration after the passage of the laser pulse. Steel and titanium samples are ablated by filaments and by sharply focused sub-picosecond laser pulses. We then performed metrology on the samples to compare the ablation features in addition to modeling of the plasma ablation process. Ablation with filaments leads to a wider range of material responses as compared to ablation with sharply focused pulse. This results in potential complications for applications of filament ablation that depends on the rate of material removal and spectroscopic analysis.

There is an unmet need for a therapeutic intervention that reduces the duration and severity of dengue symptoms and diminishes the likelihood of severe complications. To this end, there are active discovery efforts in industry and academia to develop interventions, with a focus on small molecule inhibitors of dengue virus replication that are suitable for therapy or chemoprophylaxis. Advancements in animal models of dengue virus infection together with the possibility of a dengue human infection model have further enhanced the platform for dengue drug discovery. Whilst drug discovery efforts gestate, there are ongoing clinical research designed to benefit today's patients, including trials of supportive care interventions, and descriptive studies that should improve the ability of clinicians to make an accurate diagnosis early in the illness course and to identify patients most at risk of progression to severe disease. This review provides a state of the art summary of dengue drug discovery, clinical trials, and supportive allied research and reflects discussions at the 2nd International Dengue Therapeutics Workshop held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in December 2013.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/08/02/Aug2014 Supplement VL - 179 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 46 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Aim: Patients with severe bums typically undergo multiple surgeries, and ketamine is often used as part of the multimodal anesthetic regimen during such surgeries. The anesthetic ketamine is an /V-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist that also provides analgesia at subanesthetic doses, but the psychoactive side effects of ketamine have caused concern about its potential psychological effects on a combat-wounded population. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 30% of burned U.S. service members injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom/ Operation Enduring Freedom. A preliminary analysis by our research group reported that patients who received perioperative ketamine had a significantly lower prevalence of PTSD than those injured service members who did not receive ketamine. We have now expanded this research to examine the relationship between ketamine and PTSD development in a much larger population. Methods: A retrospective analysis on data from service members being treated for burns at the San Antonio Military Medical Center was conducted. Collected data included drugs received, injury severity score (ISS), total body surface area (TBSA) burned, length of hospital stay (LOS), number of intensive care unit days, number of surgeries, and PTSD Checklist-Military (PCL-M) scores and administration dates. Subjects were grouped based on intraoperative receipt of ketamine, and the groups were compared. The groups were binary for ketamine (yes or no), and dose of ketamine administered was not included in data analyses. Propensity score matching based on ISS and TBSA was performed to control for individual differences in burn severity. Results: Two hundred eighty-nine burned U.S. service members received the PCL-M at least 30 days after injury. Of these subjects, 189 received intraoperative ketamine, and 100 did not. Despite significantly greater injuries, as evidenced by significantly higher TBSA burned and ISS (p < 0.01), patients who received ketamine did not screen positive for PTSD at a different rate than those patients who did not (24% vs. 26.98%, p = 0.582). Patients receiving intraoperative ketamine also underwent a significantly greater number of surgeries, spent more time in the hospital, spent more days in the ICU, and received more morphine equivalent units (p < 0.0001). Propensity score matching based on ISS and TBSA resulted in a total subject number of 130. In the matched samples, subjects who received ketamine still underwent significantly more surgeries and experienced longer hospital stays (p < 0.0001). Again, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of a positive screen for PTSD based upon the receipt of ketamine (28% vs. 26.15%, p = 0.843). Conclusions: Ketamine is often used in bum patients to reduce opioid usage and decrease the hemodynamic and respiratory side effects. Although this study does not show a benefit of ketamine on PTSD development that was identified in previous work with a smaller sample number, it does support the conclusion that ketamine does not increase PTSD development in burned service members.

Blast overpressure (BOP) of 120 ± 7 KPa has been shown to cause damage to lungs, brain, and gut in a rat model; however, the effects of BOP on ocular tissues have not been characterized. To elucidate the pathophysiology of blast-induced ocular trauma, ocular tissues from rats subjected to blast were examined for evidence of apoptosis by the detection of activated caspase 3 and TUNEL assay in their ocular tissues. Methods: A compressed air shock tube was used to deliver 120 ± 7 KPa of BOP for duration of 2 msec to the right side of the rats. Rats were then euthanized at specific time points after blast exposure (3 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours). Ocular tissues were processed for immunohistochemistry to detect activated caspase 3 and TUNEL assay. Tissues were evaluated for relative levels of positive signal as compared to nonblast exposed controls. Results: Activated caspase 3 was detected in the optic nerve, ganglion layer, and inner nuclear layer post blast exposure. At 24 and 48 hours, the inner nuclear layer from the right side had more cells with activated caspase 3. In the optic nerve, the highest levels of activated caspase 3 were detected on the right side at 24 hours post blast. Conclusion: BOP of 120 + 7 KPa induces optic neuropathy and retinal damage. In both the optic nerve and retina, caspase 3 was activated in the right and left sides following blast exposure. The results of this study reveal that blast exposure induces apoptosis in both the optic nerve and retinal tissues.

RNA expression in NHPs provides specific signatures that are informative of disease mechanisms and therapeutic modes of action. Unlike the human transcriptome, the transcriptomes of major NHP animal models are yet to be comprehensively annotated. Results: In this manuscript, employing deep RNA sequencing of seven tissue samples, we characterize the transcriptomes of two commonly used NHP animal models: Cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) and African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops). We present the Multi-Species Annotation (MSA) pipeline that leverages well-annotated primate species and annotates 99.8% of reconstructed transcripts. We elucidate tissue-specific expression profiles and report 13 experimentally validated novel transcripts in these NHP animal models. Conclusion: We report comprehensively annotated transcriptomes of two non-human primates, which we have made publically available on a customized UCSC Genome Browser interface. The MSA pipeline is also freely available.

JO - PLoS Pathogens JF - PLoS Pathogens Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 10 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537366 AB - Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT/A-G), the most potent toxins known, act by cleaving three SNARE proteins required for synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Previous studies on BoNTs have generally utilized the major SNARE homologues expressed in brain (VAMP2, syntaxin 1, and SNAP-25). However, BoNTs target peripheral motor neurons and cause death by paralyzing respiratory muscles such as the diaphragm. Here we report that VAMP1, but not VAMP2, is the SNARE homologue predominantly expressed in adult rodent diaphragm motor nerve terminals and in differentiated human motor neurons. In contrast to the highly conserved VAMP2, BoNT-resistant variations in VAMP1 are widespread across vertebrates. In particular, we identified a polymorphism at position 48 of VAMP1 in rats, which renders VAMP1 either resistant (I48) or sensitive (M48) to BoNT/D. Taking advantage of this finding, we showed that rat diaphragms with I48 in VAMP1 are insensitive to BoNT/D compared to rat diaphragms with M48 in VAMP1. This unique intra-species comparison establishes VAMP1 as a physiological toxin target in diaphragm motor nerve terminals, and demonstrates that the resistance of VAMP1 to BoNTs can underlie the insensitivity of a species to members of BoNTs. Consistently, human VAMP1 contains I48, which may explain why humans are insensitive to BoNT/D. Finally, we report that residue 48 of VAMP1 varies frequently between M and I across seventeen closely related primate species, suggesting a potential selective pressure from members of BoNTs for resistance in vertebrates.

It has been previously demonstrated that anticoagulant therapeutics increase the survival rate in EBOV-infected NHPs, and that the characteristic transcriptional profile of immune response changes in anticoagulant-treated NHPs. In order to identify transcriptional signatures that correlate with survival following EBOV infection, we compared the mRNA expression profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from EBOV-infected NHPs that received anticoagulant treatment, to those that did not receive treatment. We identified a small set of 20 genes that are highly confident predictors and can accurately distinguish between surviving and non-surviving animals. In addition, we identified a larger predictive signature of 238 genes that correlated with disease outcome and treatment; this latter signature was associated with a variety of host responses, such as the inflammatory response, T cell death, and inhibition of viral replication. Notably, among survival-associated genes were subsets of genes that are transcriptionally regulated by (1) CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha, (2) tumor protein 53, and (3) megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 and myocardin-like protein 2. These pathways merit further investigation as potential transcriptional signatures of host immune response to EBOV infection.

Emerging manufacturing technology, such as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is making mass customization possible in commercial industry. If the Army could produce tailored military ground vehicles that incorporate mission-specific tactics, it would outperform generic systems. To produce such systems, a new systems engineering (SE) process should be developed. Virtual environments are central to the proposed SE/2025 process because they provide a sandbox where soldiers and engineers might directly collaborate to codevelop tactics and technologies simultaneously. The authors' intent is to describe how ground vehicle systems might be developed in 2025 as well as to describe current efforts underway to shape the future.

Methods and Results Lyophilized Bacillus anthracis ΔSterne spores, coated in silica, were aerosolized into a containment chamber and deposited onto nine surface types by two independent laboratories. Laboratory A produced a mean loading concentration of 1·78 × 105 CFU cm−2; coefficient of variation ( CV) was <40% for 96% of samples. Laboratory B produced a mean loading concentration of 7·82 × 106 CFU cm−2; 68% of samples demonstrated CV <40%. Conclusions This method has been shown to meet the goal of loading threat-representative spores onto surfaces with low variability at concentrations relevant to the Department of Defense. Significance and Impact of the Study As demonstrated in 2001, a biological attack using anthrax disseminated as a dry powder is a credible threat. This method will provide a means to load spores onto surfaces that mimic a 'real-world' scenario of an aerosolized anthrax attack. The method has utility for evaluating sporicidal technologies and for nondecontamination studies, for example fate and transport or reaerosolization.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: Bacterial pathogenicity represents a major public health concern worldwide. Secretion systems are a key component of bacterial pathogenicity, as they provide the means for bacterial proteins to penetrate host-cell membranes and insert themselves directly into the host cells’ cytosol. Burkholderia mallei is a Gram-negative bacterium that uses multiple secretion systems during its host infection life cycle. To date, the identities of secretion system proteins for B. mallei are not well known, and their pathogenic mechanisms of action and host factors are largely uncharacterized. Description: We present the Database of Burkholderia mallei Secretion Systems (DBSecSys), a compilation of manually curated and computationally predicted bacterial secretion system proteins and their host factors. Currently, DBSecSys contains comprehensive experimentally and computationally derived information about B. mallei strain ATCC 23344. The database includes 143 B. mallei proteins associated with five secretion systems, their 1,635 human and murine interacting targets, and the corresponding 2,400 host-B. mallei interactions. The database also includes information about 10 pathogenic mechanisms of action for B. mallei secretion system proteins inferred from the available literature. Additionally, DBSecSys provides details about 42 virulence attenuation experiments for 27 B. mallei secretion system proteins. Users interact with DBSecSys through a Web interface that allows for data browsing, querying, visualizing, and downloading. Conclusions: DBSecSys provides a comprehensive, systematically organized resource of experimental and computational data associated with B. mallei secretion systems. It provides the unique ability to study secretion systems not only through characterization of their corresponding pathogen proteins, but also through characterization of their host-interacting partners. The database is available at https://applications.bhsai.org/dbsecsys.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 30 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background Despite increased investment in pharmaceutical research and development, fewer and fewer new drugs are entering the marketplace. This has prompted studies in repurposing existing drugs for use against diseases with unmet medical needs. A popular approach is to develop a classification model based on drugs with and without a desired therapeutic effect. For this approach to be statistically sound, it requires a large number of drugs in both classes. However, given few or no approved drugs for the diseases of highest medical urgency and interest, different strategies need to be investigated. Results We developed a computational method termed "drug-protein interaction-based repurposing" (DPIR) that is potentially applicable to diseases with very few approved drugs. The method, based on genome-wide drug-protein interaction information and Bayesian statistics, first identifies drug-protein interactions associated with a desired therapeutic effect. Then, it uses key drug-protein interactions to score other drugs for their potential to have the same therapeutic effect. Conclusions Detailed cross-validation studies using United States Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for hypertension, human immunodeficiency virus, and malaria indicated that DPIR provides robust predictions. It achieves high levels of enrichment of drugs approved for a disease even with models developed based on a single drug known to treat the disease. Analysis of our model predictions also indicated that the method is potentially useful for understanding molecular mechanisms of drug action and for identifying protein targets that may potentiate the desired therapeutic effects of other drugs (combination therapies).

JO - Annals of Family Medicine JF - Annals of Family Medicine Y1 - 2014/07//Jul/Aug2014 VL - 12 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 310 EP - 316 PB - Annals of Family Medicine SN - 15441709 AB - PURPOSE More youth are killed every year in the United States in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crashes than on bicycles, and since 2001, one-fifth of all ATV fatalities have involved victims aged 15 years or younger. Effectively preventing pediatric ATV-related deaths and injuries requires knowledge about youth riding practices. Our objective was to examine ATV use, crash prevalence, and riding behaviors among adolescent students in a rural state. METHODS We administered a cross-sectional survey to 4,684 youths aged 11 to 16 years at 30 schools across Iowa from November 2010 to April 2013. Descriptive and comparative analyses were performed. RESULTS Regardless of rurality, at least 75% of students reported having been on an ATV, with 38% of those riding daily or weekly. Among ATV riders, 57% had been in a crash. Most riders engaged in risky behaviors, including riding with passengers (92%), on public roads (81%), or without a helmet (64%). Almost 60% reported engaging in all 3 behaviors; only 2% engaged in none. Multivariable modeling revealed male youth, students riding daily/weekly, and those reporting both riding on public roads and with passengers were 1.61 (95% CI, 1.36-1.91), 3.73 (95% CI, 3.10-4.50), and 3.24 (95% CI, 2.09-5.04) times more likely to report a crash, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Three-fourths of youths surveyed were exposed to ATVs. The majority of riders had engaged in unsafe behaviors and experienced a crash. Given this widespread use and the potentially considerable morbidity of pediatric ATV crashes, prevention efforts, including anticipatory guidance by primary care clinicians serving families at risk, should be a higher priority.

Cabled hydrophone arrays deployed at dams receive coded transmissions sent from acoustic transmitters implanted in fish. The signals' time of arrival on different hydrophones is used to track fish in 3D. In this article, a new algorithm that decodes the received transmissions is described and the results are compared to results for the previous decoding algorithm. In a laboratory environment, the new decoder was able to decode signals with lower signal strength than the previous decoder, effectively increasing decoding efficiency and range. In field testing, the new algorithm decoded significantly more signals than the previous decoder and three-dimensional tracking experiments showed that the new decoder's time-of-arrival estimates were accurate. At multiple distances from hydrophones, the new algorithm tracked more points more accurately than the previous decoder. The new algorithm was also more than 10 times faster, which is critical for real-time applications on an embedded system.

This paper describes the development, integration, and flight-testing of an autonomous flight control system (AFCS) on a JUH-60A research helicopter. Flight-test results include control law validation using frequency domain analysis and performance characteristics using both ADS-33E mission task elements and path-error measurements. These performance data are then used to configure a risk minimizing OFN algorithm with the AFCS. The integrated OFN algorithm and AFCS are demonstrated in flight by navigating autonomously through 23 mi of mountainous terrain.

JO - Journal of the American Helicopter Society JF - Journal of the American Helicopter Society Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 59 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 032006-1 EP - 032006-14 PB - American Helicopter Society SN - 00028711 AB - The paper presents the application of three aerodynamic prediction methods, covering a wide spectrum of sophistication and computational efficiency, to a model-scale coaxial rotor with highly twisted blades. The first method is based on bladeelementmomentum theory. The second is based on a free-vortex wake model, and the third is a computational fluid dynamics analysis based on Navier-Stokes solutions on structured grids. The results are compared with experimental data from model rotor tests in hover. There is generally good agreement between theory and experiment for the quantities considered, namely rotor thrust, torque, and inflow, but the results fromthe three methods differ in several important details. The best approach to coaxial rotor aerodynamic analysis judiciously combines the three predictive capabilities depending on the level of detail desired and uses a more sophisticated approach to calibrate and correct a simpler one.

In combat conditions, the resources available to support the operation and maintenance of these systems are minimal. Following the failure of a critical system, technical support personnel may take days to arrive via helicopter or ground convoy-leaving soldiers and civilian experts exposed to battlefield risks. To address this problem, the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) developed a suite of systems, Virtual Logistics Assistance Representative (VLAR), with a single purpose: to enable a combat soldier to maintain critical equipment. The CECOM VLAR team uses an operations research (OR) approach to codifying expert knowledge about Army equipment and applying that knowledge to troubleshooting equipment diagnostics in combat situations. VLAR infuses a classic knowledge-management spiral with OR techniques: from socializing advanced technical concepts and eliciting tacit knowledge, to integrating expert knowledge, to creating an intuitive and instructive interface, and finally, to making VLAR a part of a soldier's daily life. VLAR is changing the Army's sustainment paradigm by creating an artificial intelligence capability and applying it to equipment diagnostics. In the process, it has generated a sustainable cost-savings model and a means to mitigate combat risk. Through 2015, VLAR saved the Army $27 million in direct labor costs from an investment of $8 million by reducing the requirement for technical support personnel. We project additional direct costs savings of $222 million from an investment of $60 million by the end of 2020. Most importantly, VLAR has prevented an estimated 4,500 casualties by reducing requirements for helicopter and ground-convoy movements. This translates to short- and long-term medical cost savings of over $9 billion. In this paper, we discuss the OR methods that underpin VLAR, at the heart of which lie causal Bayesian networks, and we detail the process we use to translate scientific theory and experiential knowledge into accessible applications for equipment diagnostics.

Ethnography is a contextual method allowing scientific description of the stakeholders, their needs and their organisational customs. Despite the recognition in the RE literature that ethnography could be helpful, the actual leverage of the method has been limited and ad hoc. To overcome the problems, we report in this paper a systematic mapping study where the relevant literature is examined. Building on the literature review, we further identify key parameters, their variations and their connections. The improved understanding about the role of ethnography in EIS RE is then presented in a consolidated model, and the guidelines of how to apply ethnography are organised by the key factors uncovered. Our study can direct researchers towards thorough understanding about the role that ethnography plays in EIS RE, and more importantly, to help practitioners better integrate contextually rich and ecologically valid methods in their daily practices.

JO - Journal of Cleaner Production JF - Journal of Cleaner Production Y1 - 2017/01/10/ VL - 141 M3 - Article SP - 267 EP - 277 SN - 09596526 AB - The selection of an appropriate technology for waste management in a way that enhances sustainability is a complex problem requiring information from multiple disciplines. This decision is made more complex for large, diverse organizations for which individual sites or components have different requirements and capacities for waste management. For U.S. Army installations, sustainable waste management is a major obstacle for resource constrained and overburdened installation personnel. The Army has prioritized landfill diversion at installations; there is a significant push for each installation to develop and implement waste management plans that follow high-level goals set by U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM). The main objective of this study is to demonstrate an excel-based dashboard tool incorporating Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for site-specific waste management technology selection. The dashboard uses the preferences of an installation and a series of weighted metrics to evaluate technologies. With this information the dashboard can rank the technologies to identify those that simultaneously meet IMCOM's objectives and are appropriate for specific sites' capabilities and resources. Fourteen different technology makes and models were compared in this version of the decision model including dehydrators, pulpers, garbage disposals, containerized in-vessel composting, windrow composting, forced-air static composting, and containerized anaerobic digestion. MCDA provides for transparent comparison of technologies for all sites, and the dashboard visualizes the level of appropriateness of each technology for each site. The approach developed here adds value in that it utilizes the priorities of the organization and identifies the best performing waste management technology given the specific capacity and capabilities of an individual site.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 54 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 7112 EP - 7121 SN - 01962892 AB - Waveform decomposition is a common step for exploitation of full-waveform lidar data. Much effort has been focused on designing algorithms based on the assumption that the returned waveforms follow a Gaussian mixture model where each component is a Gaussian. However, many real examples show that the waveform components can be neither Gaussian nor symmetric even when the emitted signal is Gaussian or symmetric. This paper proposes a nonparametric mixture model to represent lidar waveforms without any constraints on the shape of the waveform components. A fuzzy mean-shift algorithm is then developed to decompose the waveforms. This approach has the following properties: 1) It does not assume that the waveforms follow any parametric or functional distributions; 2) the waveform decomposition is treated as a fuzzy data clustering problem and the number of components is determined during the time of decomposition; and 3) neither peak selection nor noise floor filtering prior to the decomposition is needed. Experiments are conducted on a dataset collected over a dense forest area where significant skewed waveforms are demonstrated. As the result of the waveform decomposition, a highly dense point cloud is generated, followed by a subsequent filtering step to create a fine digital elevation model. Compared with the conventional expectation–maximization method, the fuzzy mean-shift approach yielded practically comparable and similar results. However, it is about three times faster and tends to lead to slightly fewer artifacts in the resultant digital elevation model.

J. T1 - Phosphate Changes Effect of Humic Acids on TiO2 Photocatalysis: From Inhibition to Mitigation of Electron-Hole Recombination. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2017/01/03/ VL - 51 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 514 EP - 521 SN - 0013936X AB - A major challenge for photocatalytic water purification with TiO2 is the strong inhibitory effect of natural organic matter (NOM), which can scavenge photogenerated holes and radicals and occlude ROS generation sites upon adsorption. This study shows that phosphate counteracts the inhibitory effect of humic acids (HA) by decreasing HA adsorption and mitigating electron-hole recombination. As a measure of the inhibitory effect of HA, the ratios of first-order reaction rate constants between photocatalytic phenol degradation in the absence versus presence of HA were calculated. This ratio was very high, up to 5.72 at 30 mg/L HA and pH 4.8 without phosphate, but was decreased to 0.76 (5 mg/L HA, pH 8.4) with 2 mM phosphate. The latter ratio indicates a surprising favorable effect of HA on TiO2 photocatalysis. FTIR analyses suggest that this favorable effect is likely due to a change in the conformation of adsorbed HA, from a multiligand exchange arrangement to a complexation predominantly between COOH groups in HA and the TiO2 surface in the presence of phosphate. This configuration can reduce hole consumption and facilitate electron transfer to O2 by the adsorbed HA (indicated by linear sweep voltammetry), which mitigates electron-hole recombination and enhances contaminant degradation. A decrease in HA surface adsorption and hole scavenging (the predominant inhibitory mechanisms of HA) by phosphate (2 mM) was indicated by a 50% decrease in the photocatalytic degradation rate of HA and 80% decrease in the decay rate coefficient of interfacial-related photooxidation in photocurrent transients. These results, which were validated with other compounds (FFA and cimetidine), indicate that anchoring phosphate - or anions that exert similar effects on the TiO2 surface - might be a feasible strategy to counteract the inhibitory effect of NOM during photocatalytic water treatment.

QDs also increase conversion efficiency of the above-bandgap photons due to extraction of electrons from QDs via Coulomb interaction with hot electrons excited by highenergy photons. Nanoscale potential profile (potential barriers) and nanoscale band engineering (AlGaAs atomically thin barriers) allow for suppression of photoelectron capture to QDs. To study these kinetic effects and to distinguish them from the absorption enhancement due to light scattering on QDs, we investigate long, 3-lm base GaAs devices with various InAs QD media with 20 and 40 QD layers. Quantum efficiency measurements show that, at least at low doping, the multistep processes in QD media are strongly affected by the wetting layer (WL). The QD media with WLs provide substantial conversion of below-bandgap photons and for devices with 40 QD layers the short circuit current reaches 29.2 mA/cm². The QD media with band-engineered AlGaAs barriers and reduced wetting layers (RWL) enhance conversion of high-energy photons and decrease the relaxation (thermal) losses.

Exudates were analyzed for total organic carbon, and characterized via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Exudate samples were adjusted to pH values of 4.5, 6.5, and 7.5, amended with lead and quantified for soluble and complexed lead via Inductively Coupled Plasma—Optical Emission Spectrometry. Data obtained from total organic carbon measurements indicated compositional changes in Bermuda grass root exudates as organic carbon concentrations increased over time. Analysis of the infrared spectroscopy data indicated that carboxylic acids and amine functional groups were present in root exudates. Also, the ability of root-exuded compounds to solubilize lead in aqueous media was demonstrated as exudate samples dissolved an average of 60% more lead than deionized water. At pH values 4.5 and 7.5, lead complexation by Bermuda grass root exudates increased with decreasing molecular weight size fractions, while an opposite trend was observed at pH 6.5. Results from this study demonstrated the ability of Bermuda grass root exudates to complex lead in aqueous media.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 9 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - In the event of a wide area release and contamination of a biological agent in an outdoor environment and to building exteriors, decontamination is likely to consume the Nation’s remediation capacity, requiring years to cleanup, and leading to incalculable economic losses. This is in part due to scant body of efficacy data on surface areas larger than those studied in a typical laboratory (5×10-cm), resulting in low confidence for operational considerations in sampling and quantitative measurements of prospective technologies recruited in effective cleanup and restoration response. In addition to well-documented fumigation-based cleanup efforts, agencies responsible for mitigation of contaminated sites are exploring alternative methods for decontamination including combinations of disposal of contaminated items, source reduction by vacuuming, mechanical scrubbing, and low-technology alternatives such as pH-adjusted bleach pressure wash. If proven effective, a pressure wash-based removal of Bacillus anthracis spores from building surfaces with readily available equipment will significantly increase the readiness of Federal agencies to meet the daunting challenge of restoration and cleanup effort following a wide-area biological release. In this inter-agency study, the efficacy of commercial-of-the-shelf sporicidal disinfectants applied using backpack sprayers was evaluated in decontamination of spores on the surfaces of medium-sized (∼1.2 m2) panels of steel, pressure-treated (PT) lumber, and brick veneer. Of the three disinfectants, pH-amended bleach, Peridox, and CASCAD evaluated; CASCAD was found to be the most effective in decontamination of spores from all three panel surface types.

To obtain further insight into this sport, the current study examined the training and competition experiences of UM runners. Phenomenological interviews were conducted with 26 participants ranging in age from 32 to 67 years (M = 44.1 yrs, SD = 8.1). Qualitative analysis of the interview data identified meaning units, which were grouped into major themes. A final thematic structure revealed five major themes that characterized the participant's experience of UM running: preparation and strategy, management, discovery, personal achievement, and community. Taken together, the present results extend previous research on UM running and provide a number of suggestions for sport psychology consultants working with UM runners.

Simulations are commonly used to achieve higher resolution of the structures at the all-atom level, yet methodologies that consistently yield accurate results remain elusive. In this work, we provide an assessment of an adaptive temperature-based replica exchange simulation method where the temperature clients dynamically walk in temperature space to enrich their population and exchanges near steep energetic barriers. This approach is compared to earlier work of applying the conventional method of static temperature clients to refine a dataset of conformational decoys. Our results show that, while an adaptive method has many theoretical advantages over a static distribution of client temperatures, only limited improvement was gained from this strategy in excursions of the downhill refinement regime leading to an increase in the fraction of native contacts. To illustrate the sampling differences between the two simulation methods, energy landscapes are presented along with their temperature client profiles.

Although military nursing services recently have been able to meet their nursing recruitment quotas, national studies have predicted a long-term nursing shortage that may affect future recruitment for the Nurse Corps of the three military services. Data are needed to plan for recruitment incentives and the impact of those incentives on targeted populations of likely future nurses. Methods: Data are drawn from three online surveys conducted in 2011-2012, including surveys of 1,302 Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel serving on major military bases, 914 nursing students at colleges with entry Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs located nearby major military bases, and a qualitative survey of 1,200 young adults, age 18-39, in the general public. Findings: The three populations are different in several demographic characteristics. We explored perceptions of military careers, nursing careers and barriers, and incentives to pursue military nursing careers in all populations. Perceptions differ among the groups. Conclusion: The results of this study may help to inform strategies for reaching out to specific populations with targeted messages that focus on barriers and facilitators relevant to each to successfully recruit a diverse Nurse Corps for the future.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 179 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 540 EP - 546 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Deployed military personnel are exposed to inhalational hazards that may increase their risk of chronic lung conditions. This evaluation assessed associations between Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) deployment and post-deployment medical encounters for respiratory symptoms and medical conditions. This retrospective cohort study was conducted among military personnel who, between January 2005 and June 2007, were deployed to either of two locations with burn pits in Iraq, or to either of two locations without burn pits in Kuwait. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated using two nondeployed reference groups. Rates among personnel deployed to burn pit locations were also compared directly to those among personnel deployed to locations without burn pits. Significantly elevated rates of encounters for respiratory symptoms (IRR = 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-1.30) and asthma (IRR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.33-1.78) were observed among the formerly deployed personnel relative to U.S.-stationed personnel. Personnel deployed to burn pit locations did not have significantly elevated rates for any of the outcomes relative to personnel deployed to locations without burn pits. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that OIF deployment is associated with subsequent risk of respiratory conditions. Elevated medical encounter rates were not uniquely associated with burn pits.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2014/04/21/ VL - 104 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 4 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - Tuning of band gap of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been a challenging problem due to its inherent chemical stability and inertness. In this work, we report the changes in band gaps in a few layers of chemical vapor deposition processed as-grown h-BN using a simple oxygen plasma treatment. Optical absorption spectra show a trend of band gap narrowing monotonically from 6 eV of pristine h-BN to 4.31 eV when exposed to oxygen plasma for 12 s. The narrowing of band gap causes the reduction in electrical resistance by ~100 fold. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results of plasma treated hexagonal boron nitride surface show the predominant doping of oxygen for the nitrogen vacancy. Energy sub-band formations inside the band gap of h-BN, due to the incorporation of oxygen dopants, cause a red shift in absorption edge corresponding to the band gap narrowing.

We extend the notion of local-centrality, a centrality measure previously shown to correspond with a node's ability to spread an epidemic, to sets of nodes by introducing combinatorial local centrality. Though we prove that finding a set of nodes that maximizes this new measure is NP-hard, good approximations are available. We show that a strictly greedy approach obtains the best approximation ratio unless P = NP and then formulate a modified version of this approach that leverages qualities of the network to achieve a faster runtime while maintaining this theoretical guarantee. We perform an experimental evaluation on samples from several different network structures which demonstrate that our algorithm maximizes combinatorial local centrality and consistently chooses the most effective set of nodes to spread infection under the SIR model, relative to selecting the top nodes using many common centrality measures. We also demonstrate that the optimized algorithm we develop scales effectively.

Case studies were first reviewed to investigate feasibility of the concept. Next, an overall emergency paving framework was developed, complemented by a two-component laboratory investigation. Component one developed a series of short-term ageing protocols for use in preparation of test specimens; component two evaluated those specimens for compactability and rut resistance. Results indicated that (1) material could be hauled up to 6 h and still be effectively used in emergency paving, (2) the two warm mix additives studied improved compactability of hot-mixed and warm-compacted asphalt and (3) rut resistance was acceptable for emergency applications. A discussion on the post natural disaster permanent residual value of the hot-mixed and warm-compacted material is also provided.

Methods: A convenience sample of HCP was surveyed to assess familiarity with Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), AEFI they were likely to report, methods used and preferred for reporting, and perceived barriers to reporting. We analyzed factors associated with HCP reporting AEFI to VAERS. Results: A total of 547 surveys were distributed with 487 completed and returned for an 89% response rate. The percentage of HCP aware of VAERS (54%) varied by occupation. 47% of respondents identified knowledge of at least one AEFI with only 34% of these indicating that they had ever reported to VAERS. More serious events were more likely to be reported. Factors associated with HCP reporting AEFIs in bivariate analysis included HCP familiarity with filing a paper VAERS report, HCP familiarity with filing an electronic VAERS report, HCP familiarity with VAERS, and time spent on immunization tasks. In a multivariable analysis, only HCP familiarity with filing a paper VAERS report was statistically significant (Odds ratio = 115.3; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Specific educational interventions targeted to military HCP likely to see AEFIs but not currently filing VAERS reports may improve vaccine safety reporting practices.

Methods: Participants (n = 247) completed a series of clinical and functional tests, including closed-chain ankle dorsiflexion (DF), Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Y-Balance Test Lower Quarter (YBT-LQ), Y-Balance Test Upper Quarter (YBT-UQ), single leg vertical jump (SLVJ), 6-m timed hop (6-m timed), and triple hop. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Analysis of variance tests were performed to compare the results based on sex and age (<30years, >30years). Results: Service members demonstrated DF of 34.2 + 6.1°, FMS composite score of 16.2 + 2.2, YBT-LQ normalized composite score of 96.9 + 8.6%, YBT-UQ normalized composite score of 87.6 ± 9.6%, SLVJ of 26.9 ± 8.6 cm, 6-m hop of 2.4 ± 0.5 seconds, and a triple hop of 390.9 ± 110.8 cm. Men performed greater than women (p < 0.05) on the YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, SLVJ, 6-m timed, and triple hop. Those <30 years of age performed better than older participants (p < 0.05) on the DF, FMS, YBT-LQ, SLVJ, 6-m hop, and triple hop. Conclusions: Findings provide normative data on military members. Men performed better on power, balance, and trunk stability tests, whereas younger individuals performed better on power, balance, mobility, and functional movement.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 179 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 396 EP - 403 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) may have neuroprotective properties for psychological health and cognition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of omega-3 FAs (eicosapentaenoic + docosahexaenoic; Harris-Schacky [HS]-Omega-3 Index) on neuropsychological functioning among U.S. Soldiers deployed to Iraq. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included Soldiers between the ages of 18 and 55 years who were randomly assigned to either the active treatment group (n = 44) or placebo group (n = 34). Active treatment was 2.5 g per day of eicosapentaenoic + docosahexaenoic (Lovaza; GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina). The placebo was corn oil ethyl esters. HS-Omega-3 Index, a neurocognitive battery (Central Nervous System-Vital Signs, Morrisville, North Carolina), and psychological health scales were assessed at baseline and after 60 days of treatment. Although the results revealed that omega-3 FAs significantly increased the HS-Omega-3 Index (p = 0.001), there were no significant effects on indices psychological health and neurocognitive functioning by treatment group. Nevertheless, there was a significant inverse correlation between the changes in the HS-Omega-3 Index and daytime sleepiness (r = 0.30, p = 0.009). Short-term treatment with 2.5 g of omega-3 FAs did not alter measures of neurocognition or psychological health, but there was evidence of a relationship between omega-3 levels and daytime sleepiness.

A new approach, asymmetric acoustic Scattering (AAS), for damage detection and localization using PZT sensor arrays was developed, and the conclusions were favorable compared to commercial software results. The AAS method is simple, computationally efficient, and general because it does not require geometric details of the component or complex physical models. The approach estimates damage in five stages: (1) damage index (DI) measures are computed for individual sensors, (2) DI-weighted averages are computed for pairs of sensors, (3) DI-weighted averages are used to generate local DI maps, (4) local DI maps are combined into frequency-dependent global DI maps, and (5) frequency dependent DI maps are combined into global DI maps. The AAS algorithm generates temporal DI curves to increase the confidence of damage detection, whereas damage localization is accomplished with static distributed DI maps. Accuracy, robustness, and sensor array minimization methods for improving damage detection and localization were also investigated.

Test data reported in this paper illustrated that near-field acoustic energy in the first six blade-passing harmonics could be reduced by up to 6 dB at a moderate-airspeed, level flight condition at an advance ratio of 0.30. Reduced noise levels were attributed to selective active flap schedules that modified in-plane blade airloads on the advancing side of the rotor, generating counteracting acoustic pulses that partially offset the negative pressure peaks associated with in-plane, steady thickness noise. These favorable reduced-noise operating states are a strong function of the active flap actuation amplitude, frequency, and phase. The reduced noise levels resulted in reduction of predicted aural detection distance, but incurred vibratory load penalties due to increased hub shear forces.

JO - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience JF - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience Y1 - 2016/06/30/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 SN - 16625161 AB - Human automation interaction (HAI) systems have thus far failed to live up to expectations mainly because human users do not always interact with the automation appropriately. Trust in automation (TiA) has been considered a central influence on the way a human user interacts with an automation; if TiA is too high there will be overuse, if TiA is too low there will be disuse. However, even though extensive research into TiA has identified specific HAI behaviors, or trust outcomes, a unique mapping between trust states and trust outcomes has yet to be clearly identified. Interaction behaviors have been intensely studied in the domain of HAI and TiA and this has led to a reframing of the issues of problems with HAI in terms of reliance and compliance. We find the behaviorally defined terms reliance and compliance to be useful in their functionality for application in real-world situations. However, we note that once an inappropriate interaction behavior has occurred it is too late to mitigate it. We therefore take a step back and look at the interaction decision that precedes the behavior. We note that the decision neuroscience community has revealed that decisions are fairly stereotyped processes accompanied by measurable psychophysiological correlates. Two literatures were therefore reviewed. TiA literature was extensively reviewed in order to understand the relationship between TiA and trust outcomes, as well as to identify gaps in current knowledge. We note that an interaction decision precedes an interaction behavior and believe that we can leverage knowledge of the psychophysiological correlates of decisions to improve joint system performance. As we believe that understanding the interaction decision will be critical to the eventual mitigation of inappropriate interaction behavior, we reviewed the decision making literature and provide a synopsis of the state of the art understanding of the decision process from a decision neuroscience perspective. We forward hypotheses based on this understanding that could shape a research path toward the ability to mitigate interaction behavior in the real world.

The method utilizes low-frequency acoustically driven mechanical perturbations to disrupt the flow of a thiol-ene liquid jet, resulting in small thiol-ene droplets that are photochemically polymerized to yield thiol-ene microspheres. Tuning of the frequency, amplitude, and monomer solution viscosity are critical parameters impacting the diameter of the microspheres produced.

Here, nineteen transition metal alloying elements (X) are considered: Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Hf, Ta, Re, Os, Ir, and Pt. It is found that (i) the bulk modulus of the dilute W-X alloy decreases with increasing its equilibrium volume, particularly, for the alloying elements in the same period; (ii) all of the alloying elements decrease the shear modulus of BCC W; and (iii) the largest decrease of elastic properties of W is due to alloying element Y. In addition, it is shown that the changes of elastic properties of W caused by the alloying elements are traceable from the electron charge density distribution, resulting in a bonding distortion between W and the alloying atoms. Using the quasi-static approach based on the Debye model, the elastic properties of these W-X alloys at finite temperatures are predicted. Calculated properties of BCC W and the W-X alloys are in favorable agreement with available experimental measurements.

JO - SpringerPlus JF - SpringerPlus Y1 - 2016/06/22/ VL - 5 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 38 SN - 21931801 AB - Background: Rain-fed agriculture remains the source of employment for a majority of Ghana's population, particularly in northern Ghana where annual rainfall is low. The purpose of this study is to examine farmers' perceptions and adaptation practices to climate change and variability in accordance with actual recorded weather data of the Vea catchment in Upper East Region of northern Ghana during the time interval from 1972 to 2012. Methods: Climatic data over 41-years (1972-2012) from four stations in vicinity of the catchment was evaluated to identify actual weather outcomes. A survey questionnaire targeting farmers with at least 30-years of farming experience in the area was administered in six of the eleven agricultural enumeration areas in the catchment covering 305 km. Of the 466 farmers interviewed, 79 % utilized rain-fed practices while 21 % utilized some form of irrigation. Results: Results indicate that nearly 90 % of the farmers interviewed believe that temperature increased over the past 30-years, while over 94 % of the farmers believe that amount of rainfall, duration, intensity and rainy days has decreased. Nearly 96 % of the farmers believe that their farms are extremely vulnerable to decreased rainfall, droughts and changed timing of rainfall events. Climatic data of the catchment indicates a rising trend in temperature but no long-term changes in annual and monthly rainfall, thereby possibly increasing levels of evapotranspiration. While no statistical differences were found between rain-fed and irrigation agricultural types regarding receipt of external support, their approaches to climatic change adaptation do differ. Patently, 94 and 90 % of farmers relying on rain-fed and irrigation strategies respectively receive some form of support, primarily via extension services. Farmers using rain-fed practices adjust to climate variability by varying crop types via rotation without fertilizer while farmers employing irrigation practices are more likely to offset climate variability with a greater use of fertilizer application. Conclusion: The Vea catchment faces rising temperature and evapotranspiration trends. Farmers are aware of these climatic changes and are adapting strategies to cope with the effects but require support. Adequate extension services and irrigation facilities are needed to assist farmers in order to sustain their livelihoods on the long run.

JO - Frontiers in Psychology JF - Frontiers in Psychology Y1 - 2016/06/22/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 SN - 16641078 AB - A common assumption in organizations is that information sharing improves situation awareness and ultimately organizational effectiveness. The sheer volume and rapid pace of information and communications received and readily accessible through computer networks, however, can overwhelm individuals, resulting in data overload from a combination of diverse data sources, multiple data formats, and large data volumes. The current conceptual framework of network enabled operations (NEO) posits that robust networking and information sharing act as a positive feedback loop resulting in greater situation awareness and mission effectiveness in military operations (Alberts and Garstka, 2004). We test this assumption in a large-scale, 2-week military training exercise. We conducted a social network analysis of email communications among the multi-echelon Mission Command staff (one Division and two sub-ordinate Brigades) and assessed the situational awareness of every individual. Results from our exponential random graph models challenge the aforementioned assumption, as increased email output was associated with lower individual situation awareness. It emerged that higher situation awareness was associated with a lower probability of out-ties, so that broadly sending many messages decreased the likelihood of attaining situation awareness. This challenges the hypothesis that increased information sharing improves situation awareness, at least for those doing the bulk of the sharing. In addition, we observed two trends that reflect a compartmentalizing of networked information sharing as email links were more commonly formed among members of the command staff with both similar functions and levels of situation awareness, than between two individuals with dissimilar functions and levels of situation awareness; both those findings can be interpreted to reflect effects of homophily. Our results have major implications that challenge the current conceptual framework of NEO. In addition, the information sharing network was largely imbalanced and dominated by a few key individuals so that most individuals in the network have very few email connections, but a small number of individuals have very many connections. These results highlight several major growing pains for networked organizations and military organizations in particular.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2016/06/21/ VL - 88 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 6523 EP - 6530 SN - 00032700 AB - Several methods for the bioanalysis of nerve agents or their metabolites have been developed for the verification of nerve agent exposure. However, parent nerve agents and known metabolites are generally rapidly excreted from biological matrixes typically used for analysis (i.e., blood, urine, and tissues), limiting the amount of time after an exposure that verification is feasible. In this study, hair was evaluated as a long-term repository of nerve agent hydrolysis products. Pinacolyl methylphosphonic acid (PMPA; hydrolysis product of soman) and isopropyl methylphosphonic acid (IMPA; hydrolysis product of sarin) were extracted from hair samples with N,N-dimethylformamide and subsequently analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Limits of detection for PMPA and IMPA were 0.15 µg/kg and 7.5 µg/kg and linear ranges were 0.3-150 µg/kg and 7.5-750 µg/kg, respectively. To evaluate the applicability of the method to verify nerve agent exposure well after the exposure event, rats were exposed to soman, hair was collected after approximately 30 days, and stored for up to 3.5 years prior to initial analysis. PMPA was positively identified in 100% of the soman-exposed rats (N = 8) and was not detected in any of the saline treated animals (N = 6). The hair was reanalyzed 5.5 years after exposure and PMPA was detected in 6 of the 7 (one of the soman-exposed hair samples was completely consumed in the analysis at 3.5 years) rat hair samples (with no PMPA detected in the saline exposed animals). Although analysis of CWA metabolites from hair via this technique is not appropriate as a universal method to determine exposure (i.e., it takes time for the hair to grow above the surface of the skin and typical analysis times are >24 h), it complements existing methods and could become the preferred method for verification of exposure if 10 or more days have elapsed after a suspected exposure.

Uniquely, KGeNb facilitates hydrolysis of nerve agents Sarin (GB) and Soman (GD) (and their less reactive simulants, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP)) as well as mustard (HD) in both liquid and gas phases at ambient temperature and in the absence of neutralizing bases or illumination. Three lines of evidence establish that KGeNb removes DMMP, and thus likely GB/GD, by general base catalysis: a) the k(H2O)/k(D2O) solvent isotope effect is 1.4; b) the rate law (hydrolysis at the same pH depends on the amount of P-PONb present); and c) hydroxide is far less active against the above simulants at the same pH than the P-PONbs themselves, a critical control experiment.

Ocular exposures exhibit three distinct, dose-dependent clinical trajectories: complete injury resolution, immediate transition to a chronic injury, or apparent recovery followed by the subsequent development of persistent ocular manifestations. These latter two trajectories include a constellation of corneal symptoms that are collectively known as mustard gas keratopathy (MGK). The etiology of MGK is not understood. Here, we synthesize recent findings from in vivo rabbit SM vapor studies, suggesting that tissue-specific damage during the acute injury can decrement the regenerative capacities of corneal endothelium and limbal stem cells, thereby predisposing the cornea to the chronic or delayed forms of MGK. This hypothesis not only provides a mechanism to explain the acute and MGK injuries but also identifies novel therapeutic modalities to mitigate or eliminate the acute and long-term consequences of ocular exposure to SM vapor.

The zebrafish ( Danio rerio) is a popular, well-established vertebrate model in biomedical research that offers high-throughput capabilities and genetic manipulation not readily available with rodents. A number of research studies have investigated the effects of subacute developmental exposure to OP pesticides in zebrafish, observing detrimental effects on gross morphology, neuronal development, and behavior. Few studies, however, have utilized this model to evaluate treatments, such as oxime reactivators, anticholinergics, or anticonvulsants, following acute exposure. Preliminary work has investigated the effects of CWNA exposure. The results clearly demonstrated relative toxicity and oxime efficacy similar to that reported for the rodent model. This review surveys the current literature utilizing zebrafish as a model for OP exposure and highlights its potential use as a high-throughput system for evaluating AChE reactivator antidotal treatments to acute pesticide and CWNA exposure.

These compounds induce status epilepticus (SE) by irreversibly blocking the ability of acetylcholinesterase to break down acetylcholine at neural synapses. Animal models of organophosphate-induced SE are a crucial resource for identifying new anticonvulsant therapies. Here, we describe the development of various animal models of SE induced by NA or OP exposure. Experiments in nonhuman primates, rats, mice, and guinea pigs have helped to identify novel therapeutic targets in the central nervous system, with particular success at modulating GABAergic and glutamatergic receptors. The anticonvulsants identified by NA- and OP-induced SE models are well poised for fast advancement into clinical development, and their potential utility in the broader field of epilepsy should make them all the more attractive for commercial pursuit.

This work reports on the development and characterization of a novel, wearable AlH 3 based PEM fuel cell system. System characterization revealed an unexpectedly low energy density value, 25% lower than anticipated, (436 Wh kg −1 vs. 582 Wh kg −1 for 1440 Wh) due in part to a previously unpublished phenomenon of incomplete α-AlH 3 thermolysis. Based on literature reports, complete thermolysis was expected to occur at <180 °C, however this work reports on conditions where the full H 2 yield cannot be obtained despite high temperature (>250 °C) exposure. This work provides an experimental characterization of this phenomenon and quantitatively describes it by developing a new model in the framework of the Avrami–Erofeev phase transformation model, which can be utilized for the optimum design of high energy density AlH 3 cartridges.

The mismatch strain between the {111}-Pt films and the underlying (100)-TiO 2 seed layer gives rise to an interfacial dislocation network, which, in turn, determines the initiation of plastic deformation in Pt. Experiments showed that the flow stress increases, while the plastic strain accumulation at failure decreases with decreasing Pt film thickness. A modified Thompson model that accounted for the combined effect of film thickness and grain size provided good predictions for the elastic limit of Pt films. However, the yield stress was underestimated by the same model; a Taylor strain hardening model was superimposed to the modified Thompson model to account for additional hardening as a result of dislocation interactions during plastic deformation, which provided good predictions for the evolution of flow stress with plastic strain.

The resultant ultra-high concentration of 28 m led to more effective formation of a protective interphase on the anode along with further suppression of water activities at both anode and cathode surfaces. The improved electrochemical stability allows the use of TiO2 as the anode material, and a 2.5 V aqueous Li-ion cell based on LiMn2O4 and carbon-coated TiO2 delivered the unprecedented energy density of 100 Wh kg−1 for rechargeable aqueous Li-ion cells, along with excellent cycling stability and high coulombic efficiency. It has been demonstrated that the introduction of a second salts into the 'water-in-salt' electrolyte further pushed the energy densities of aqueous Li-ion cells closer to those of the state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries.

All of these requirements could be challenges to be met using conventional materials like steel and concrete. However, with the emergence of advanced Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites for waterway structures, it has now been possible to achieve all of these physical and performance requirements in a cost-effective manner. Due to their lightness, excellent corrosion and wear resistance along with superior thermo-mechanical properties, FRPs have emerged as one of the best alternatives in the field of civil infrastructure. This paper covers several aspects of the design, manufacturing, testing, analysis, and field implementation of a novel integrated FRP wicket gate in Mississippi River lock and dam. The cellular FRP panel with foam core and integrated stiffening and fastening components has been analyzed to compute the bending stiffness both theoretically and experimentally and a good correlation has been obtained.

JO - Computational Intelligence & Neuroscience JF - Computational Intelligence & Neuroscience Y1 - 2016/06/02/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 20 SN - 16875265 AB - Independent component analysis (ICA) is a class of algorithms widely applied to separate sources in EEG data. Most ICA approaches use optimization criteria derived from temporal statistical independence and are invariant with respect to the actual ordering of individual observations. We propose a method of mapping real signals into a complex vector space that takes into account the temporal order of signals and enforces certain mixing stationarity constraints. The resulting procedure, which we call Pairwise Complex Independent Component Analysis (PWC-ICA), performs the ICA in a complex setting and then reinterprets the results in the original observation space. We examine the performance of our candidate approach relative to several existing ICA algorithms for the blind source separation (BSS) problem on both real and simulated EEG data. On simulated data, PWC-ICA is often capable of achieving a better solution to the BSS problem than AMICA, Extended Infomax, or FastICA. On real data, the dipole interpretations of the BSS solutions discovered by PWC-ICA are physically plausible, are competitive with existing ICA approaches, and may represent sources undiscovered by other ICA methods. In conjunction with this paper, the authors have released a MATLAB toolbox that performs PWC-ICA on real, vector-valued signals.

It offers high computational energy efficiency for both integer and floating point calculations as well as parallel scalability. Yet despite the interesting architectural features, a compelling programming model has not been presented to date. This paper demonstrates an efficient parallel programming model for the Epiphany architecture based on the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard. Using MPI exploits the similarities between the Epiphany architecture and a conventional parallel distributed cluster of serial cores. Our approach enables MPI codes to execute on the RISC array processor with little modification and achieve high performance. We report benchmark results for the threaded MPI implementation of four algorithms (dense matrix–matrix multiplication, N -body particle interaction, five-point 2D stencil update, and 2D FFT) and highlight the importance of fast inter-core communication for the architecture.

JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 178 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 30 SN - 00344257 AB - We compared 10 established and 2 new satellite reflectance algorithms for estimating chlorophyll- a (Chl- a ) in a temperate reservoir in southwest Ohio using coincident hyperspectral aircraft imagery and dense coincident surface observations collected within 1 h of image acquisition to develop simple proxies for algal blooms in water bodies sensitive to algal blooms (especially toxic or harmful algal blooms (HABs)) and to facilitate portability between multispectral satellite imagers for regional algal bloom monitoring. All algorithms were compared with narrow band hyperspectral aircraft images. These images were subsequently upscaled spectrally and spatially to simulate 5 current and near future satellite imaging systems. Established and new Chl- a algorithms were then applied to the synthetic satellite images and compared to coincident surface observations of Chl- a collected from 44 sites within 1 h of aircraft acquisition of the imagery. We found several promising algorithm/satellite imager combinations for routine Chl- a estimation in smaller inland water bodies with operational and near-future satellite systems. The CI, MCI, FLH, NDCI, 2BDA and 3 BDA Chl- a algorithms worked well with CASI imagery. The NDCI, 2BDA, and 3BDA Chl- a algorithms worked well with simulated WorldView-2 and 3, Sentinel-2, and MERIS-like imagery. NDCI was the most widely applicable Chl- a algorithm with good performance for CASI, WorldView 2 and 3, Sentinel-2 and MERIS-like imagery and limited performance with MODIS imagery. A new fluorescence line height “greenness” algorithm yielded the best Chl- a estimates with simulated Landsat-8 imagery.

JO - Quality & Reliability Engineering International JF - Quality & Reliability Engineering International Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1331 EP - 1345 SN - 07488017 AB - Process capability indices provide a measure of the output of an in-control process that conforms to a set of specification limits. These measures, which assume that process output is approximately normally distributed, are intended for measuring process capability for manufacturing systems. When the performance of a system results in a product that fails to fall within a given specification range, however, the product is typically scrapped or reworked, and the actual distribution that the customer perceives after inspection is truncated. In this paper, the concept of a truncated measure for three types of quality characteristics is introduced as the key to linking customer perception to process capability. Subsequently, a set of customer-perceived process capability indices is presented as an extension of traditional manufacturer-based counterparts. Finally, data transformation-based process capability indices are also discussed. A comparative study and numerical example reveal considerable differences among the traditional and proposed process capability indices. It is believed that the proposed process capability index for various quality characteristics may more aptly lead to process improvement by facilitating a better understanding of the integrated effects found in engineering design problems.

This political identity is itself a multi-dimensional concept shaped not only by the political ideology, practices and institutions established by the rebel organisation, but also by the relationship with the state and its political institutions. Far from functioning in a vacuum or isolated, rebel groups, especially when operating as alternative providers of governance, build multi-layered networks of relations with the state, the pre-existing traditional society institutions as well as with other domestic and international political actors. The study focuses specifically on two complex armed groups, Hezbollah and Hamas, relying on primary sources as well as in-depth fieldwork on these groups' socio-political institution (In this case field work refers to both in-depth direct observation of the groups' social networks and political infrastructures as well direct interviews and meetings with key stakeholders involved in the administration of those activities. The timeframe for the field work spans between 2008 and 2013). The research tracks their multiple interactions with the state through grassroots activism, institutional politics and governance. Despite their considerable differences, at their cores, both organisations operate in a liminal space between open war and fragile postconflict setting; between grassroots activism and institutional politics; between armed resistance and political accommodation; and between competition and cooperation with the state. As such, they represent useful starting points to begin deconstructing and problematising existing dichotomies still prevalent in studying both rebel governance and rebel-to-political transitions, including the binary statenon- state opposition. In doing so, the analysis highlights the importance of taking into account the often hybrid and multi-layered political legacies adopted by armed groups during wartime and their impact in shaping their political trajectories as well as the potential roles for these groups in post-conflict settings.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 44 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 415 EP - 418 SN - 00917613 AB - The growing recognition that many passive margins have experienced periods of post-rift uplift has raised new questions about the nature of the tectonic processes that drive such uplift. The eastern North America margin is of particular interest because it is a classic Atlanticstyle margin that has long been suspected of tectonic rejuvenation, yet the timing of post-rift uplift events remains elusive. To address this question we present apatite U-Th/He and fission track ages from a 1300 m vertical transect in the White Mountains of New Hampshire (USA), including a 910-m-deep bore hole. Thermal modeling suggests a period of accelerated denudation from ca. 85 to 65 Ma. This timing is broadly similar to the timing of accelerated exhumation and compression on passive margins elsewhere in the Atlantic, raising the question of whether a common mechanism, such as a change in lateral stresses, changes in mantle convection, or climate change, could be responsible.

JO - Agricultural History JF - Agricultural History Y1 - 2016///Summer2016 VL - 90 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 311 EP - 337 SN - 00021482 AB - Vernacular human medicine, otherwise known as folk or popular medicine, has received considerable attention from scholars in the United States, but little research has been done on how lay people dealt with livestock ailments prior to the professionalization of veterinary medicine. Using Tennessee in the nineteenth century as a case study, this paper examines the corpus of popular knowledge on the identification and treatment of horse ailments available to lay people in printed sources, focusing primarily on newspapers and to a lesser extent on patent medicine brochures and horse care handbooks. Information on horse medicine found in the newspapers was often in the form of a letter to the editor or as an excerpt from another periodical. Collectively, newspapers served as a national clearinghouse for popular veterinary knowledge. An examination of the horse remedies reported in the newspapers and other printed materials shows a close correspondence between the materia medica and therapeutic modalities used fo r treating humans with those used for treating horses. The paper also considers folk remedies for horse ailments and folk healers known as "horse doctors, " but the discussion is limited due to paucity of information available in the historical record.

Historically, models of the land water balance have been used to estimate soil moisture. Recently, satellites have provided another source of soil moisture estimates that can be used to estimate soil-limited vehicle mobility. In this study, we compared the off-road vehicle mobility estimates based on three soil moisture sources: WindSat (a satellite source), LIS (a computer model source), and in situ ground sensors (to represent ground truth). Mobility of six vehicles, each with different ranges of sensitivity to soil moisture, was examined in three test sites. The results demonstrated that the effect of the soil moisture error on mobility predictions is complex and may produce very significant errors in off-road mobility analysis for certain combinations of vehicles, seasons, and climates. This is because soil moisture biases vary in both direction and magnitude with season and location. Furthermore, vehicles are sensitive to different ranges of soil moistures. Modeled vehicle speeds in the dry time periods were limited by the interaction between soil traction and the vehicles’ powertrain characteristics. In the wet season, differences in soil strength resulted in more significant differences in mobility predictions.

Typically, the deformable terrain-tire interaction has been modeled using Finite Element Method (FEM), which continues to require prohibitively long analysis times owing to the complexity of soil behavior. Recent attempts to model deformable terrain have resorted to the use of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to capture the soil’s complex interaction with a wheeled vehicle. We assess herein a DEM approach that employs a complementarity condition to enforce non-penetration between colliding rigid bodies that make up the deformable terrain. To this end, we consider three standard terramechanics experiments: direct shear, pressure-sinkage, and single-wheel tests. We report on the validation of the complementarity form of contact dynamics with friction, assess the potential of the DEM-based exploration of fundamental phenomena in terramechanics, and identify numerical solution challenges associated with solving large-scale, quadratic optimization problems with conic constraints.

Whereas IL-15 has well-established roles in stimulating lymphocyte responses after lymphodepletion, the mechanisms regulating these IL-15 responses are unclear. We report that cell surface IL-15 expression is upregulated during lymphopenia induced by total body irradiation (TBI), cyclophosphamide, or Thy1 Ab-mediated T cell depletion, as well as in RAG-/- mice; interestingly, the cellular profile of surface IL-15 expression is distinct in each model. In contrast, soluble IL-15 (sIL-15) complexes are upregulated only after TBI or aThy1 Ab. Analysis of cell-specific IL-15Ra conditional knockout mice revealed that macrophages and dendritic cells are important sources of sIL-15 complexes after TBI but provide minimal contribution in response to Thy1 Ab treatment. Unlike with TBI, induction of sIL-15 complexes by aThy1 Ab is sustained and only partially dependent on type I IFNs. The stimulator of IFN genes pathway was discovered to be a potent inducer of sIL-15 complexes and was required for optimal production of sIL-15 complexes in response to Ab-mediated T cell depletion and TBI, suggesting products of cell death drive production of sIL-15 complexes after lymphodepletion. Lastly, we provide evidence that IL-15 induced by inflammatory signals in response to lymphodepletion drives lymphocyte responses, as memory CD8 T cells proliferated in an IL-15-dependent manner. Overall, these studies demonstrate that the form in which IL-15 is expressed, its kinetics and cellular sources, and the inflammatory signals involved are differentially dictated by the manner in which lymphopenia is induced.

The power system consists of a small engine, a lead–acid battery, and an ultracapacitor. For simplicity of implementation and low hardware cost, engine control is restricted to two states, i.e., on and off, and vehicle speed control is restricted to three discrete levels, namely, high, medium, and low. The authors developed advanced algorithms for modeling and optimizing vehicle energy flow, machine learning of optimal control settings generated by dynamic programmling on real-world drive cycles, and an intelligent energy controller designed for online energy control based on knowledge about the driving mission and knowledge obtained through machine learning. The intelligent vehicle energy controller cognitive intelligent power management (CIPM) has been implemented and evaluated in a simulated vehicle model and in an ATV, i.e., Polaris Ranger EV, which was converted to an HEV. Experimental results show that the intelligent energy controller CIPM can lead to a significant improvement in fuel economy compared with the existing conventional vehicle controllers in an ATV.

JO - Geoscientific Model Development JF - Geoscientific Model Development Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 9 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2223 EP - 2238 SN - 1991959X AB - This paper describes the first version of a standalone runoff routing tool, mizuRoute. The mizuRoute tool post-processes runoff outputs from any distributed hydrologic model or land surface model to produce spatially distributed streamflow at various spatial scales from headwater basins to continental-wide river systems. The tool can utilize both traditional grid-based river network and vector-based river network data. Both types of river network include river segment lines and the associated drainage basin polygons, but the vector-based river network can represent finer-scale river lines than the grid-based network. Streamflow estimates at any desired location in the river network can be easily extracted from the output of mizuRoute. The routing process is simulated as two separate steps. First, hillslope routing is performed with a gamma-distribution-based unit-hydrograph to transport runoff from a hillslope to a catchment outlet. The second step is river channel routing, which is performed with one of two routing scheme options: (1) a kinematic wave tracking (KWT) routing procedure; and (2) an impulse response function - unit-hydrograph (IRF-UH) routing procedure. The mizuRoute tool also includes scripts (python, NetCDF operators) to pre-process spatial river network data. This paper demonstrates mizuRoute's capabilities to produce spatially distributed streamflow simulations based on river networks from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geospatial Fabric (GF) data set in which over 54 000 river segments and their contributing areas are mapped across the contiguous United States (CONUS). A brief analysis of model parameter sensitivity is also provided. The mizuRoute tool can assist model-based water resources assessments including studies of the impacts of climate change on streamflow.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 310 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - R1154 EP - R1159 SN - 03636119 AB - Compensatory reserve was measured in baboons (n = 13) during hemorrhage (Hem) and lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) using a machine-learning algorithm developed to estimate compensatory reserve by detecting reductions in central blood volume during LBNP. The algorithm calculates compensatory reserve index (CRI) from normovolemia (CRI = 1) to cardiovascular decompensation (CRI = 0). The hypothesis was that Hem and LBNP will elicit similar CRI values and that CRI would have higher specificity than stroke volume (SV) in predicting decompensation. Blood was removed in four steps: 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% of total blood volume. Four weeks after Hem, the same animals were subjected to four levels of LBNP that was matched on the basis of their central venous pressure. Data (mean ± 95% confidence interval) indicate that CRI decreased (P < 0.001) from baseline during Hem (0.69 ± 0.10, 0.57 ± 0.09, 0.36 ± 0.10, 0.16 ± 0.08, and 0.08 ± 0.03) and LBNP (0.76 ± 0.05, 0.66 ± 0.08, 0.36 ± 0.13, 0.23 ± 0.11, and 0.14 ± 0.09). CRI was not different between Hem and LBNP (P = 0.20). Linear regression analysis between Hem CRI and LBNP CRI revealed a slope of 1.03 and a correlation coefficient of 0.96. CRI exhibited greater specificity than SV in both Hem (92.3 vs. 82.1) and LBNP (94.8 vs. 83.1) and greater ROC AUC in Hem (0.94 vs. 0.84) and LBNP (0.94 vs. 0.92). These data support the hypothesis that Hem and LBNP elicited the same CRI response, suggesting that measurement of compensatory reserve is superior to SV as a predictor of cardiovascular decompensation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology is the property of American Physiological Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The overall vehicle dynamics performance is governed by the multibody dynamics model for the vehicle, the wheel/terrain interaction dynamics and the onboard control system. The topic of this paper is the development of computationally efficient and accurate dynamics model for ground vehicles with complex suspension dynamics. A challenge is that typical vehicle suspensions involve closed-chain loops which require expensive DAE integration techniques. In this paper, we illustrate the use the alternative constraint embedding technique to reduce the cost and improve the accuracy of the dynamics model for the vehicle.

Methods: Medically treated LE injuries during cadet basic training documented in the Defense Medical Surveillance System were ascertained in a prospective cohort study of three large US military academies from 2005 to 2008. Both acute injuries (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, codes in the 800-900s, including fracture, dislocations, and sprains/strains) and injury-related musculoskeletal injuries (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, codes in the 700s, including inflammation and pain, joint derangement, stress fracture, sprain/strain/rupture, and dislocation) were included. Risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed using multivariate log-binomial models stratified by gender. Results: During basic training, there were 1438 medically treated acute and 1719 musculoskeletal-related LE injuries in the 9811 cadets. The most frequent LE injuries were sprains/strains (73.6% of acute injuries) and inflammation and pain (89.6% of musculoskeletal-related injuries). The overall risk of incident LE injury was 23.2% (95% CI = 22.3%-24.0%). Cadets with a history of LE injury were at increased risk for incident LE injury. This association was identical in males (RR = 1.74, 95%CI= 1.55-1.94) and females(RR= 1.74,95% CI= 1.52-1.99). In site-specific analyses, strong associations between injury history and incident injury were observed for hip, knee ligament, stress fracture, and ankle sprain. Injury risk was greater (P < 0.01) for females (39.1%) compared with males (18.0%). The elevated injury risk in females (RR = 2.19,95% CI = 2.04-2.36) was independent of injury history (adjusted RR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.95-2.24). Conclusion: Injury history upon entry to the military is associated with the incidence of LE injuries sustained during cadet basic training. Prevention programs targeted at modifiable factors in cadets with a history of LE injury should be considered.

Microcosms were supplemented with molasses, methanol, or thiosulfate. Cultures were passaged twice by transferring 10 % of the culture volume to fresh media on days 11 and 21. Rates of NTO removal were 18.71 ± 0.65, 9.04 ± 2.61, and 4.34 ± 2.72 mg/L/day while rates of nitrate removal were 20.08 ± 1.13, 21.58 ± 1.20, and 24.84 ± 1.26 mg/L/day, respectively, for molasses, methanol, or thiosulfate. Metagenomic analysis showed that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the major phyla in the microbial communities. In molasses supplemented cultures, the community profile at the family level changed over time with Pseudomonadaceae the most abundant (67.4 %) at day 11, Clostridiaceae (65.7 %) at day 21, and Sporolactobacillaceae (35.4 %) and Clostridiaceae (41.0 %) at day 29. Pseudomonadaceae was the dominant family in methanol and thiosulfate supplemented cultures from day 21 to 29 with 76.6 and 81.6 % relative abundance, respectively.

Non-reacting spray experiments were performed in a constant-pressure flow chamber with 99% nitrogen gas composition at constant temperature (900 K) and densities ranging from 11-56 kg/m3. Near-simultaneous, high-speed Mie and schlieren images of the spray were acquired to measure the liquid and vapor penetration lengths of the non-reacting jet. Reacting experiments, consisting of photodiode measurements and intensified high-speed movies of OH* chemiluminescence, were performed at the same thermodynamic conditions as the non-reacting experiments, except with a 21%/79% oxygen/nitrogen ambient gas composition. Measurements of the rate of injection, issued from a single-hole axial common-rail fuel injector, showed negligible differences between the fuels. The non-reacting liquid length of IPK was approximately 20% shorter than JP-8 for the range of tested conditions, which was consistent with the average difference in volatility between the fuels. The ignition delay, determined from the photodiode record, was up to 80% longer for IPK fuel at low density conditions. Additionally, the lift-off length of IPK was measured to be approximately 50% more sensitive to ambient pressure than JP-8. These results provide fundamental information for the calibration and optimization of military diesel engines operating on conventional and alternatively sourced jet fuels.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2016/05/30/ VL - 108 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 222101-1 EP - 222101-5 SN - 00036951 AB - The absorption spectra for the antimonide-based type-II superlattices (SLs) for detection in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) are calculated and compared to the measured data for SLs and bulk materials with the same energy gap (HgCdTe and InAsSb). We include the results for the metamorphic InAsSbx/InAsSby SLs with small periods as well as the more conventional strain-balanced InAs/Ga(In)Sb and InAs/InAsSb SLs on GaSb substrates. The absorption strength in small-period metamorphic SLs is similar to the bulk materials, while the SLs with an average lattice constant matched to GaSb have significantly lower absorption. This is because the electron-hole overlap in the strain-balanced type-II LWIR SLs occurs primarily in the hole well, which constitutes a relatively small fraction of the total thickness.

With the aid of bio-templates based on an M13 virus, the thermal budget of an annealing process can be reduced, and the nano-structured characteristics of the precursors are preserved in the product. This method enables us to successfully prepare monoclinic LiMnBO3 with an average particle size of 20 nm in a 1 h annealing process, showing improved electrochemical properties compared with the conventionally synthesized one. Thus, we consider that this bio-facilitated method can open up an environmentally-friendly pathway to produce nano-structured electrode materials with an enhanced performance.

CAH was characterized using Raman spectroscopy to 30 GPa and synchrotron X-ray diffraction to 45 GPa. The Raman spectra of CAH show reasonable qualitative agreement with first-principle calculations. The X-ray data reveal that CAH maintains its monoclinic structure to approximately 22 GPa with a density change of 12% over this range. Near 22 GPa, the Raman modes and most of the X-ray diffraction peaks disappear. These pressure-induced changes are irreversible upon the release of pressure, and the transformed sample can be recovered to ambient pressure. The recovered sample is photosensitive and shows reaction even at low laser powers of 10 mW at 532 nm. The paper concludes with observations of the roles of hydrogen bonding, molecular configurations, and the behavior of the cyano group in the pressure-induced changes in CAH.

JO - Langmuir JF - Langmuir Y1 - 2016/05/03/ VL - 32 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4370 EP - 4381 SN - 07437463 AB - Polydopamine coatings are of interest due to the fact that they can promote adhesion to a broad range of materials and can enable a variety of applications. However, the polydopamine-substrate interaction is often noncovalent. To broaden the potential applications of polydopamine, we show the incorporation of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), a traditional coupling agent capable of covalent bonding to a broad range of organic and inorganic surfaces, into polydopamine coatings. High energy X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HE-XPS), conventional XPS, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), and ellipsometry measurements were used to investigate changes in coating chemistry and thickness, which suggest covalent incorporation of APTES into polydopamine. These coatings can be deposited either in Tris buffer or by using an aqueous APTES solution as a buffer without Tris. APTES-dopamine hydrochloride deposition from solutions with molar ratios between 0:1 and 10:1 allowed us to control the coating composition across a broad range.

The complex Young's modulus was found by applying a cyclic sinusoidal strain over a wide range of temperatures spanning the glass transition. The non-linear stress response was studied in the glass transition region using uni-axial deformation. We discuss special considerations in computing viscoelastic properties at the high strain-rates available to molecular dynamics. As in experimental studies, the complex modulus is shown to be a function of the network composition and strain rate. However, the high strain-rate simulations performed here predict the existence of broad peaks in the temperature-dependent loss modulus and slow relaxation of the storage modulus. In general, it is observed that network compositions with larger amounts of short, stiff 4,4’-methylenebis(cyclohexylamine) (MCA) cross-linkers lead to an increase in the mechanical glass transition temperature as well as the breadth of the glass transition compared to longer, more flexible poly(oxypropylene) diamine (POP) cross-linkers. When the networks of any composition were deformed beyond the linear region, the stress response displayed a plateau that was associated with the extension of network chains.

In this work a stable (oscillation limiting) and flux-conserved formulation under the reproducing kernel particle method is developed for shock modeling. A smoothed flux divergence is constructed under the framework of stabilized conforming nodal integration, which is locally-enriched with a Riemann solution to satisfy the entropy production constraints. This Riemann-enriched flux divergence is embedded into the reproducing kernel formulation through a velocity correction that also provides oscillation control at the shock. The correction is constrained to the shock region by an automatic shock detection algorithm that is constructed using the intrinsic spectral decomposition feature of the reproducing kernel approximation. Several numerical examples are provided to verify accuracy of the proposed formulation.

Several engineering and statistical learning models are evaluated by using a particular physics-based model, namely, a Crank-Nicholson parabolic equation (CNPE), as a benchmark. Narrowband transmission loss values predicted with the CNPE, based upon a simulated data set of meteorological, boundary, and source conditions, act as simulated observations. In the simulated data set sound propagation conditions span from downward refracting to upward refracting, for acoustically hard and soft boundaries, and low frequencies. Engineering models used in the comparisons include the ISO 9613-2 method, Harmonoise, and Nord2000 propagation models. Statistical learning methods used in the comparisons include bagged decision tree regression, random forest regression, boosting regression, and artificial neural network models. Computed skill scores are relative to sound propagation in a homogeneous atmosphere over a rigid ground. Overall skill scores for the engineering noise models are 0.6%, -7.1%, and 83.8% for the ISO 9613-2, Harmonoise, and Nord2000 models, respectively. Overall skill scores for the statistical learning models are 99.5%, 99.5%, 99.6%, and 99.6% for bagged decision tree, random forest, boosting, and artificial neural network regression models, respectively.

The addition of new disease- and condition-specific biomarkers to existing clinical markers to track cancer heterogeneity provides possibilities for further assisting clinicians in predicting clinical outcomes and making choices of treatment options. Ionization patterns derived from biological specimens can be adapted for use with existing clinical markers for early detection, patient risk stratification, treatment decision making, and monitoring disease progression. In order to demonstrate the application of pyrolysis, gas chromatography, and differential mobility spectrometry (Py-GC-DMS) for human diseases to predict the outcome of diseases, we analyzed the ionized spectral signals generated by instrument ACB2000 (ACBirox universal detector 2000, ACBirox LLC, NJ, USA) from the serum samples of Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) patients. Here, we have used mantle cell lymphoma as a disease model for a conceptual study only and based on the ionization patterns of the analyzed serum samples, we developed a multivariate algorithm comprised of variable selection and reduction steps followed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis to predict the probability of a good or poor clinical outcome as a means of estimating the likely success of a particular treatment option. Our preliminary study performed with small cohort provides a proof of concept demonstrating the ability of this system to predict the clinical outcome for human diseases with high accuracy suggesting the promising application of pyrolysis, gas chromatography, and differential mobility spectrometry (Py-GC-DMS) in the field of medicine.

Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 139(1-2), 21-30 (2006); Rheol. Acta 45, 23-32 (2005)] are extended to include large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) flow, shear flow reversal, and a novel unidirectional LAOS flow to provide an extended rheological data set for testing constitutive models. We use this extended data set to test a new structure-based model developed by improving the Delaware thixotropic model [A. Mujumdar et al., J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 102, 157-178 (2002); A. J. Apostolidis et al., J. Rheol. 59, 275-298 (2015)]. Model parameters are determined from steady, small amplitude oscillatory, and step shear rate tests. Holding those parameters fixed, model predictions are compared to LAOS experiments. Similar comparisons are made for three contemporary models from the literature. Two of these models use a scalar internal structural parameter and include the modified Jeffreys model proposed by de Souza Mendes and Thompson [Rheol. Acta 52, 673-694 (2013)]. The third model is based on fluidity additivity [F. Bautista et al., J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 80, 93-113 (1999)]. A common weakness in all models is shown to be the use of scalar order parameters that cannot account for the reversal of flow directionality inherent in LAOS flow. This is further illustrated by comparison with flow reversal and unidirectional LAOS experiments.

JO - WIRES Water JF - WIRES Water Y1 - 2016/05//May/Jun2016 VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 461 EP - 474 SN - 20491948 AB - Estimating the spatial distribution of snow water equivalent ( SWE) in mountainous terrain is currently the most important unsolved problem in snow hydrology. Several methods can estimate the amount of snow throughout a mountain range: (1) Spatial interpolation from surface sensors constrained by remotely sensed snow extent provides a consistent answer, with uncertainty related to extrapolation to unrepresented locations. (2) The remotely sensed date of disappearance of snow is combined with a melt calculation to reconstruct the SWE back to the last significant snowfall. (3) Passive microwave sensors offer real-time global SWE estimates but suffer from several problems like subpixel variability in the mountains. (4) A numerical model combined with assimilated surface observations produces SWE at 1-km resolution at continental scales, but depends heavily on a surface network. (5) New methods continue to be explored, for example, airborne LiDAR altimetry provides direct measurements of snow depth, which are combined with modelled snow density to estimate SWE. While the problem is aggressively addressed, the right answer remains elusive. Good characterization of the snow is necessary to make informed choices about water resources and adaptation to climate change and variability.

This paper extends the CC method to the more general case of beam wave scattering. Gaussian beams are assumed incident upon a deterministic metal rough surface. Scatter patterns based on the CC method are calculated and compared to scatter patterns determined by the method of moments solution of an electric field integral equation formulation of the scatter problem. It was shown that good agreement between these two solution methods is obtained for scatter surfaces for which the CC method is shown to satisfy conservation of power and an accuracy criterion.

JO - Physiological Reports JF - Physiological Reports Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 4 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 2051817X AB - Hyperthermia is suspected of accentuating skeletal muscle injury from novel exercise, but this has not been well studied. This study examined if high muscle temperatures alters skeletal muscle injury induced by eccentric exercise ( ECC). Eight volunteers (age, 22.5 ± 4.1 year; height, 169.5 ± 10.8 cm; body mass, 76.2 ± 12.6 kg), serving as their own control, and who were not heat acclimatized, completed two elbow flexor ECC trials; in one trial the biceps were heated >40°C ( HEAT) and in the other trial there was no heating ( NON). HEAT was applied with shortwave diathermy (100 W) for 15 min immediately before the first ECC bout and for 2 min in between each bout. Individuals were followed for 10 days after each ECC session, with a 6-week washout period between arms. The maximal voluntary isometric contraction decreased by 41 ± 17% and 46 ± 20% in the NON and HEAT trials, respectively. Bicep circumference increased by 0.07 ± 0.08 mm (4%, P = 0.04) and relaxed range of motion decreased by 11.5 ± 8.2° (30%, P < 0.001) in both trials. Serum creatine kinase peaked 72-h following ECC ( NON: 6289 ± 10407; HEAT: 5486 ± 6229 IU L−1, 38-fold increase, P < 0.01) as did serum myoglobin ( NON: 362 ± 483; HEAT: 355 ± 373 μg L−1, 13-fold increase, P < 0.03). Plasma HSP 70 was higher ( P < 0.02) in HEAT after 120-h of recovery. There were no differences between treatments for plasma HSP27 and interleukins 1 β, 6, and 10. The results indicate that >40°C muscle temperature does not alter skeletal muscle injury or functional impairments induced by novel ECC.

T1 - Effect of layer thickness on device response of silicon heavily supersaturated with sulfur. JO - AIP Advances JF - AIP Advances Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 6 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 21583226 AB - We report on a simple experiment in which the thickness of a hyperdoped silicon layer, supersaturated with sulfur by ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting and rapid solidification, is systematically varied at constant average sulfur concentration, by varying the implantation energy, dose, and laser fluence. Contacts are deposited and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) is measured for visible wavelengths. We posit that the sulfur layer primarily absorbs light but contributes negligible photocurrent, and we seek to support this by analyzing the EQE data for the different layer thicknesses in two interlocking ways. In the first, we use the measured concentration depth profiles to obtain the approximate layer thicknesses, and, for each wavelength, fit the EQE vs. layer thickness curve to obtain the absorption coefficient of hyperdoped silicon for that wavelength. Comparison to literature values for the hyperdoped silicon absorption coefficients [S.H. Pan et al. Applied Physics Letters 98, 121913 (2011)] shows good agreement. Next, we essentially run this process in reverse; we fit with Beer's law the curves of EQE vs. hyperdoped silicon absorption coefficient for those wavelengths that are primarily absorbed in the hyperdoped silicon layer, and find that the layer thicknesses obtained from the fit are in good agreement with the original values obtained from the depth profiles. We conclude that the data support our interpretation of the hyperdoped silicon layer as providing negligible photocurrent at high S concentrations. This work validates the absorption data of Pan et al. [Applied Physics Letters 98, 121913 (2011)], and is consistent with reports of short mobility-lifetime products in hyperdoped layers. It suggests that for optoelectronic devices containing hyperdoped layers, the most important contribution to the above band gap photoresponse may be due to photons absorbed below the hyperdoped layer.

JO - Journal of Energy Resources Technology JF - Journal of Energy Resources Technology Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 138 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 032207-1 EP - 032207-12 SN - 01950738 AB - In military propulsion applications, the characterization of internal combustion engines operating with jet fuel is vital to understand engine performance, combustion phasing, and emissions when JP-8 is fully substituted for diesel fuel. In this work, high-resolution large eddy simulation (LES) simulations have been performed in-order to provide a comprehensive analysis of the detailed mixture formation process in engine sprays for nozzle configurations of interest to the Army. The first phase examines the behavior of a nonreacting evaporating spray, and demonstrates the accuracy in predicting liquid and vapor transient penetration profiles using a multirealization statistical grid-converged approach. The study was conducted using a suite of single-orifice injectors ranging from 40 to 147 pm at a rail pressure of 1000 bar and chamber conditions at 900 K and 60 bar. The next phase models the nonpremixed combustion behavior of reacting sprays and investigates the submodel ability to predict auto-ignition and lift-off length (LOL) dynamics. The model is constructed using a Kelvin Helmholtz-Rayleigh Taylor (KH-RT) spray atomization framework coupled to an LES approach. The liquid physical properties are defined using a JP-8 mixture containing 80% n-decane and 20% trimethylbenzene (TMB), while the gas phase utilizes the Aachen kinetic mechanism (Hummer, et al., 2007, "Experimental and Kinetic Modeling Study of Combustion of JP-8, Its Surrogates, and Reference Components in Laminar Non Premixed Flows," Proc. Combust. Inst., 31, pp. 393-400 and Honnet, et al., 2009, "A Surrogate Fuel for Kerosene," Proc. Combust. Inst., 32, pp. 485-492) and a detailed chemistry combustion approach. The results are in good agreement with the spray combustion measurements from the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), constant pressure flow (CPF) facility, and provide a robust computational framework for further JP-8 studies of spray combustion.

Pores with radii of 1.5 nm or less exhibited resealing over the course of 135 ns simulations, and ionic disturbance is minimal. Ion transport through a larger pore (2 nm radius) leads to a substantial change in the intra- and extra-cellular ionic concentrations. The influx of Na + and Cl − ions down their concentration gradients is greater than the efflux of K + leading to an osmotic influx of water.

Currently, the required data for risk assessment resides in various paper-based and digital documents that hinder the capabilities of risk assessors to gather, analyze, and visualize the data flexibly from various engineering perspectives such as geotechnical, hydrologic, geologic, and structural. As a result, getting a holistic view of a dam's current condition and its behavior over time becomes a time and resource intensive task. There is a need for an integrated shared knowledge repository for dams to streamline the risk assessment process. The research described in this paper provides requirements for developing such a shared knowledge repository for risk assessment of embankment dams that would support the information needs of various engineering domains and the means and methods for integrated assessment, visualization, and data analytics to understand the risk of internal erosion.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 58 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 377 EP - 400 SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: We used meta-analysis to assess research concerning human trust in automation to understand the foundation upon which future autonomous systems can be built.Background: Trust is increasingly important in the growing need for synergistic human-machine teaming. Thus, we expand on our previous meta-analytic foundation in the field of human-robot interaction to include all of automation interaction.Method: We used meta-analysis to assess trust in automation. Thirty studies provided 164 pairwise effect sizes, and 16 studies provided 63 correlational effect sizes.Results: The overall effect size of all factors on trust development was ḡ = +0.48, and the correlational effect was [Formula: see text]  = +0.34, each of which represented medium effects. Moderator effects were observed for the human-related (ḡ  = +0.49; [Formula: see text] = +0.16) and automation-related (ḡ = +0.53; [Formula: see text] = +0.41) factors. Moderator effects specific to environmental factors proved insufficient in number to calculate at this time.Conclusion: Findings provide a quantitative representation of factors influencing the development of trust in automation as well as identify additional areas of needed empirical research.Application: This work has important implications to the enhancement of current and future human-automation interaction, especially in high-risk or extreme performance environments.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 58 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 401 EP - 415 SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: We investigated the effects of level of agent transparency on operator performance, trust, and workload in a context of human-agent teaming for multirobot management.Background: Participants played the role of a heterogeneous unmanned vehicle (UxV) operator and were instructed to complete various missions by giving orders to UxVs through a computer interface. An intelligent agent (IA) assisted the participant by recommending two plans-a top recommendation and a secondary recommendation-for every mission.Method: A within-subjects design with three levels of agent transparency was employed in the present experiment. There were eight missions in each of three experimental blocks, grouped by level of transparency. During each experimental block, the IA was incorrect three out of eight times due to external information (e.g., commander's intent and intelligence). Operator performance, trust, workload, and usability data were collected.Results: Results indicate that operator performance, trust, and perceived usability increased as a function of transparency level. Subjective and objective workload data indicate that participants' workload did not increase as a function of transparency. Furthermore, response time did not increase as a function of transparency.Conclusion: Unlike previous research, which showed that increased transparency resulted in increased performance and trust calibration at the cost of greater workload and longer response time, our results support the benefits of transparency for performance effectiveness without additional costs.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of IAs in military settings and will provide useful data to the design of heterogeneous UxV teams.

The data were obtained through an anonymous survey of 458 squad leaders (i.e., small unit leaders who oversee 4-10 soldiers). More than 80% of squad leaders perceived management of soldier BH needs before, during, and after treatment as their responsibility, and felt comfortable and capable of executing these roles. Latent class analysis was used to determine groups of "most active," "moderately active," and "least active" leaders. Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare the least and most active classes. The most active leaders were more likely to report high BH knowledge, dedication to a common purpose, and low levels of "associative" stigma. These results should inform leader management of soldier BH. Future research should examine active leader characteristics and whether evidence-based training can increase support for preventing and managing BH issues.

T1 - Deactivation of Pt/Al2O3 during propane oxidation at low temperatures: Kinetic regimes and platinum oxide formation. JO - Journal of Catalysis JF - Journal of Catalysis Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 337 M3 - Article SP - 122 EP - 132 SN - 00219517 AB - The kinetics of propane oxidation over Pt/Al 2 O 3 are investigated in this work as a function of O 2 /C 3 H 8 ratio in the 150–300 °C temperature range. At high O 2 /C 3 H 8 ratios, the platinum nanoparticles are saturated with oxygen and the reaction rate is zero-order with respect to the oxygen partial pressures in this regime. As the oxygen coverage decreases with decreasing O 2 /C 3 H 8 ratio, the reaction rate increases and the reaction order changes from zero-order to negative-order in the oxygen partial pressure. The reaction rate is controlled to a large extent by the oxygen coverage on the platinum nanoparticles. However, at lower temperatures and higher oxygen pressures there is a slow deactivation of the catalyst that cannot be explained by a slow change in the oxygen coverage. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) of adsorbed CO was performed to track the evolution of the nanoparticle structure over the course of the propane oxidation reaction and to determine whether the slow deactivation was caused by reconstruction of the platinum nanoparticles. We found that the platinum nanoparticles are significantly reconstructed during the course of the reaction, including the formation of a platinum oxide (PtO) which has a characteristic CO-DRIFTS band at 2123 cm −1 . The extent of PtO formation decreases with increasing temperature and, as a result, deactivation of the catalyst is less severe at higher temperatures. Unexpectedly, increasing the oxygen partial pressure resulted in less PtO formation. We believe that a different platinum oxide phase (e.g. PtO 2 or Pt 3 O 4 ) is formed at higher oxygen pressures, which is reduced to metallic platinum during CO exposure at 25 °C, and therefore is not detectable by CO-DRIFTS. These results are unique because they show how the nanoparticle structure evolves over many hours of propane oxidation, and how the temperature and oxygen pressure influence the reconstruction of the nanoparticles, which has implications for a wide range of reactions not limited to propane oxidation.

JO - Journal of Catalysis JF - Journal of Catalysis Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 337 M3 - Article SP - 177 EP - 187 SN - 00219517 AB - The pillared MWW (PMWW or MCM-36) and pillared MFI (PMFI) zeolites are 2-dimensional (2D) catalytically active materials made by pillaring of layered MCM-22(P) and multilamellar MFI precursors, respectively. The single- or near single-unit-cell thick 2D microporous layers in PMWW and PMFI expose comparable number of external surface acid sites ( i.e. , acid sites enclosed in mesopores between zeolitic layers) to those in micropores, which become important or dominant contributor to the catalytic properties. Although the acidity and catalytic activities of PMWW and PMFI have been studied, modification of their external surfaces and its implications on catalytic reactions are not available. In the present study, we report the tailoring of external surfaces of PMWW and PMFI zeolites by atomic layer deposition (ALD) of silicon (ALD-Si) and aluminum (ALD-Al), respectively. The textural, acidic and catalytic properties of the ALD modified pillared zeolites were investigated using a variety of characterization methods. ALD-Al and ALD-Si modifications kept micropore almost intact, but resulted in significant reduction in mesopore volume and considerable changes in external surface composition and acidity. The catalytic tests showed that intrinsic catalytic behavior of Brønsted acid sites in ALD modified pillared zeolites was similar to their parent counterparts. In diffusion constrained parallel reactions, ALD of Al- or Si-species altered catalyst selectivity. In addition, ALD of Si-species on PMFI zeolite deactivated surface active sites, which resulted in improved catalytic activity in direct methane aromatization reactions under optimal ALD cycles. The study exemplified for the first time that ALD is an effective tool for tuning the surface properties of 2D unit-cell thick zeolites.

JO - Carbon JF - Carbon Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 101 M3 - Article SP - 239 EP - 244 SN - 00086223 AB - We report on a novel technique to enhance the thermal conductivity of epoxy nanocomposites using graphene coated poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) balls. PMMA balls with a diameter in the range of 200–300 nm were synthesized using suspension polymerization. These balls were coated with chemically reduced graphene oxide to form a core–shell additive and dispersed in epoxy. Thermal conductivity measurements of bulk samples of graphene-coated PMMA (GPMMA) epoxy nanocomposite were carried out and compared with baseline samples comprised of graphene nanosheets (not in the core–shell form) dispersed in the epoxy resin. Results show that the addition of 1% (by weight) GPMMA balls increases thermal conductivity by 7-fold. By contrast, the addition of 1% (by weight) of graphene nanosheets (not in the core–shell form) only improves thermal conductivity of the nanocomposite by approximately 3-fold. We attribute this improvement in thermal performance to more uniform dispersion and improved phonon conduction pathways for the GPMMA core–shell additive.

We also robustify our models to deal with the presence of sparse noise and low-rank interference signals. Specifically, we demonstrate that incorporating the noise or interference signal as a low-rank component in our models is essential in a multi-sensor classification problem when multiple co-located sources/sensors simultaneously record the same physical event. We further extend our frameworks to kernelized models which rely on sparsely representing a test sample in terms of all the training samples in a feature space induced by a kernel function. A fast and efficient algorithm based on alternative direction method is proposed where its convergence to an optimal solution is guaranteed. Extensive experiments are conducted on several real multi-sensor data sets and results are compared with the conventional classifiers to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 111 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 69 SN - 03783839 AB - This work focuses on the comparison between the fully nonlinear, and weakly dispersive Boussinesq equations and the irrotational Green–Naghdi Level 2 (IGN-2) equations for incompressible and inviscid fluid and irrotational flow resulting from waves in finite water depth. We provide in this paper for the first time a comprehensive comparison of the GN/IGN and Boussinesq wave theories for strongly nonlinear and weakly dispersive waves. The Boussinesq approach results in many different theories depending on the different orders of approximation of nonlinearity and dispersion used in the corresponding perturbation series. The fully nonlinear, weakly dispersive Boussinesq equations have been widely used in problems involving coastal regions and harbors because it is more efficient than fully nonlinear, strongly dispersive Boussinesq equations. A competing theory is the strongly nonlinear IGN-2 wave theory. Since both sets of equations have comparable complexity, it is appropriate to compare the results of these equations with known numerically exact solutions to determine the advantages of each approach. In this study, we use the same iterative algorithm to obtain the steady solutions of the IGN-2 and Boussinesq equations for periodic waves. The steady solutions of the IGN-2 and Boussinesq equations are studied for four different wavelengths that cover a range of applicability of the theories. We show in this study that the Boussinesq equations give more accurate results for the velocity distribution at the wave-crest transection. The IGN-2 equations give more accurate results for the velocity distribution at the wave-trough transection. Moreover, it is shown that the IGN-2 equations give more accurate results on the wave speed and wave profile, and that they can treat accurately waves higher than the ones that the Boussinesq equations can treat. The calculations show that both of these sets of equations are very good for strongly nonlinear wave simulations and the limitations of each are different.

JO - Langmuir JF - Langmuir Y1 - 2016/04/26/ VL - 32 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 3848 EP - 3857 SN - 07437463 AB - The adsorption of 1-dodecanethiol at room temperature and at 75 °C on submicron cuprous and cupric oxide particles suspended in ethanol has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Thiol adsorption occurs in all cases via Cu-S bond formation, with partial dissolution of CuO at 75 °C and formation of a copper-thiolate complex replacement layer. Regardless of temperature, the surface of the CuO particles is essentially completely reduced to either Cu2O or metallic copper, as evidenced by loss of the characteristic Cu2+ XPS features of dried powder samples. Companion ultrahigh-vacuum studies have been performed by dosing clean, oxygen-dosed, and ozone-treated single crystal Cu(111) with methanethiol (MT) gas at room temperature. In the latter case, the surface corresponds to CuO/Cu(111). XPS confirms MT adsorption in all cases, with an S 2p peak binding energy of 162.9 ± 0.1 eV, consistent with methanethiolate adsorption. Heating of MT-covered Cu(111) and oxygen-dosed Cu(111) leads to decomposition/desorption of the MT by 100 °C and formation of copper sulfide with an S 2p binding energy of 161.8 eV. Dosing CuO/Cu(111) with 50-200 L of MT leads to only partial reduction/removal of the CuO surface layers prior to methanethiolate adsorption. This is confirmed by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), which measures the occupied states near the Fermi level. For both the colloidal CuO and single crystal CuO/Cu(111) studies, the reduction of the Cu2+ surface is believed to occur by formation and desorption of the corresponding dithiol prior to thiolate adsorption.

The shear viscosity at a shear rate of 0.01 ( η 0.01 ) for PLA + 10 wt.% CNF was 32% higher than that of the neat PLA matrix. The η 0.01 of PLA reinforced with 5 wt.% CNF and the PHB carrier was similar to neat PLA. The tensile and flexural moduli of elasticity of the nanocomposites continuously increased with increased CNF loading. The results of the mechanical property measurements are in accordance with the rheological data. The CNF appeared to be better dispersed (less-aggregated nanofibers) in the PLA reinforced with 5 wt.% CNF and the PHB carrier. Possible applications for the composites studied in this research are packaging materials, construction materials, and auto parts for interior applications.

In responding to this event, the Federal Bureau of Investigation used traditional bacterial culture viability assays to ascertain the extent of contamination of the postal facilities within 24 to 48 h of environmental sample acquisition. Here, we describe a low-complexity, second-generation reporter phage assay for the rapid detection of viable B. anthracis spores in environmental samples. The assay uses an engineered B. anthracis reporter phage (Wβ::luxAB-2) which transduces bioluminescence to infected cells. To facilitate low-level environmental detection and maximize the signal response, expression of luxAB in an earlier version of the reporter phage (Wβ::luxAB-1) was optimized. These alterations prolonged signal kinetics, increased light output, and improved assay sensitivity. UsingWβ::luxAB-2, detection of B. anthracis spores was 1 CFU in 8 h from pure cultures and as low as 10 CFU/g in sterile soil but increased to 105 CFU/g in unprocessed soil due to an unstable signal and the presence of competing bacteria. Inclusion of semiselective medium, mediated by a phage-expressed antibiotic resistance gene, maintained signal stability and enabled the detection of 104 CFU/g in 6 h. The assay does not require spore extraction and relies on the phage infecting germinating cells directly in the soil sample. This reporter phage displays promise for the rapid detection of low levels of spores on clean surfaces and also in grossly contaminated environmental samples from complex matrices such as soils.

Degraded lands restrict the scheduled training activities and jeopardize personnel and equipment safety. We present a simulation-optimization approach and develop a discrete dynamic optimization model to determine an optimum land restoration for a given training schedule and availability of financial resources to minimize the adverse effects of training on military lands. The model considers weather forecasts, scheduled maneuver exercises, and unique qualities and importance of the maneuver areas. An application of this approach to Fort Riley, Kansas, shows that: i) starting with natural conditions, the total amount of training damages would increase almost linearly and exceed a quarter of the training area and 228 gullies would be formed (mostly in the intensive training areas) if no restoration is carried out over 10 years; ii) assuming an initial state that resembles the present conditions, sustaining the landscape requires an annual restoration budget of $957 thousand; iii) targeting a uniform distribution of maneuver damages would increase the total damages and adversely affect the overall landscape quality, therefore a selective restoration strategy may be preferred; and iv) a proactive restoration strategy would be optimal where land degradations are repaired before they turn into more severe damages that are more expensive to repair and may pose a higher training risk. The last finding can be used as a rule-of-thumb for land restoration efforts in other installations with similar characteristics.

JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2016/04/02/Apr2016 Supplement VL - 56 M3 - journal article SP - S190 EP - S202 SN - 00411132 AB - Recent combat experience reignited interest in transfusing whole blood (WB) for patients with life-threatening bleeding. US Army data indicate that WB transfusion is associated with improved or comparable survival compared to resuscitation with blood components. These data complement randomized controlled trials that indicate that platelet (PLT)-containing blood products stored at 4°C have superior hemostatic function, based on reduced bleeding and improved functional measures of hemostasis, compared to PLT-containing blood products at 22°C. WB is rarely available in civilian hospitals and as a result is rarely transfused for patients with hemorrhagic shock. Recent developments suggest that impediments to WB availability can be overcome, specifically the misconceptions that WB must be ABO specific, that WB cannot be leukoreduced and maintain PLTs, and finally that cold storage causes loss of PLT function. Data indicate that the use of low anti-A and anti-B titer group O WB is safe as a universal donor, WB can be leukoreduced with PLT-sparing filters, and WB stored at 4°C retains PLT function during 15 days of storage. The understanding that these perceived barriers are not insurmountable will improve the availability of WB and facilitate its use. In addition, there are logistic and economic advantages of WB-based resuscitation compared to component therapy for hemorrhagic shock. The use of low-titer group O WB stored for up to 15 days at 4°C merits further study to compare its efficacy and safety with current resuscitation approaches for all patients with life-threatening bleeding.

JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2016/04/02/Apr2016 Supplement VL - 56 M3 - journal article SP - S182 EP - S189 SN - 00411132 AB - Hemorrhagic shock is both a local and systemic disorder. In the context of systemic effects, blood loss may lead to levels of reduced oxygen delivery (DO2 ) sufficient to cause tissue ischemia. Similar to other physiologic debts such as sleep, it is not possible to incur a significant oxygen debt and suffer no consequences for lack of timely repayment. While the linkage between oxygen debt and traditional organ failure (renal, hepatic, lung, and circulation) has been long recognized, we should consider failure in two additional linked and very dynamic organ systems, the endothelium and blood. These systems are very sensitive to oxygen debt and at risk for failing, having further implications on all other organ systems. The degree of damage to the endothelium is largely modulated by the degree of oxygen debt. Thus hypoperfusion is believed to begin a cascade of events leading to acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC). This combination of oxygen debt driven endothelial damage and ATC might be considered collectively as "blood failure" due to the highly connected networks between these drivers. This article presents the implications of oxygen debt for remote damage control resuscitation strategies, such as permissive hypotension and hemostatic resuscitation. We review the impact of whole blood resuscitation and red blood cell efficacy in mitigation of oxygen debt. At last, this article recognizes the need for simple and durable, lightweight equipment that can detect the adequacy of tissue DO2 and thus patient needs for resuscitative care. Point-of-care lactate measuring may be a predictive tool for identifying high-risk trauma patients and occult shock because it provides information beyond that of vital signs and mechanism of injury as it may help predict the level of oxygen debt accumulation and need for resuscitation. Serial measurements may also be valuable as a tool in guiding resuscitative efforts.

The study detailed two extra-judicial killings (EJKs) by Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in an area stabilized and overseen by a US-led Combined Task Force (CTF). To deter further EJKs following the first incident, the CTF’s commander reported the incidents up his chain of command and used the limited tools at his disposal to influence local indigenous officials directly. Apparently, the ANP unit took no notice. In his commentary on the case study, Paul Robinson considered moral compromise in war more generally. Coalition troops in Afghanistan, for instance, have encountered not just EJKs but also sexual abuse of minors, killing of non-combatants, kidnapping, torture, and widespread corruption. What should the soldier on the ground do if indigenous personnel violate Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) with impunity? Refusing to serve will not right or prevent moral wrongs, while staying on to fight the good but futile fight will mire the soldier in moral compromise. “ … [S]oldiers faced with this dilemma have no good options. The systemic failings surrounding them mean that it is probable that nothing they do will help”. In a concluding note, I suggested that while an individual soldier may indeed have no good options, as Paul Robinson suggests, that soldier’s military and nation at large are obliged to do what they can. At least, they must keep to the moral high ground so as not to give indigenous security forces an excuse to misbehave, and determine the nature of crimes such as EJKs: are they outlaw acts or in fact endorsed by the indigenous culture and perhaps even government? Below Colonel Dave Barnes, himself a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, analyzes Paul Lushenko’s case study at “ … the local, tactical level: If a commander is in this situation – where her unit witnesses an EJK or other war crime – what should she do?” [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of Journal of Military Ethics is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This study explores tolerance toward perceived gender nonconformity by military affiliation, race/ethnicity, sex, religious affiliation, and political leaning. Most members of our sample, regardless of military affiliation, do not report that having a transgender person in the workplace would impact their job. At first glance, military academy and ROTC cadets are least tolerant of transgender people in the military and in society more generally. Further analyses shows that the impact of military affiliation is reduced substantially by controlling for background characteristics, especially political ideology and religious affiliation.

Just as traditional IR matured to modeling storylines from search results, we are now at a point to study how stories organize and evolve in additional mediums such as Twitter, a new frontier for intelligence analysis. This study takes as input news articles as well as social media feeds and extracts and connects entities into interesting storylines not explicitly stated in the underlying data. First, it proposes a novel method of spatio-temporal analysis on induced concept graphs that models storylines propagating through spatial regions in a time sequence. Second, it describes a method to control search space complexity by providing regions of exploration. And third, it describes ConceptRank as a ranking strategy that differentiates strongly-typed connections from weakly-bound ones. Extensive experiments on the Boston Marathon Bombings of April 15, 2013 as well as socio-political and medical events in Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States demonstrate storytelling's high application potential, showcasing its use in event summarization and association analysis that identifies events before they hit the newswire.

JO - Prevention Science JF - Prevention Science Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 17 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 347 EP - 356 SN - 13894986 AB - Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are commonly comorbid with anxiety and mood disorders; however, a strategy for AUD prevention remains unclear in the presence of three competing etiological models that each recommends different high-risk groups. Therefore, the investigation of the three hypotheses in a characteristically unique cohort is critical to identifying pervasive characteristics of AUD that can inform a universal prevention strategy. The current study evaluated the temporality and onset of comorbid AUD and psychiatric disorders in a representative sample of 528 Ohio Army National Guard soldiers using structured clinical interviews from 2009 to 2012. We examined temporality both statistically and graphically to identify patterns that could inform prevention. General estimating equations with dichotomous predictor variables were used to estimate odds ratios between comorbid psychiatric disorders and AUDs. An annualized rate of 13.5 % persons per year was diagnosed with any AUD between 2010 and 2012. About an equal proportion of participants with comorbid psychiatric disorders and AUD initiated the psychiatric disorder prior to the AUD and half initiated the psychiatric disorder after the AUD. Regardless of onset, however, the majority (80 %) AUD initiated during a short interval between the ages of 16 and 23. Focused primary prevention during this narrow age range (16-23 years) may have the greatest potential to reduce population mental health burden of AUD, irrespective of the sequencing of comorbid psychiatric disorder.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 176 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 54 SN - 01657836 AB - The miniaturization of acoustic transmitters enables researchers to tag smaller fish for telemetry studies, thus representing a greater proportion of the population of interest. Fish having a smaller transmitter burden (e.g., the weight of the transmitter relative to the weight of the fish) may also have fewer potential adverse transmitter effects. The development of an injectable acoustic transmitter has led to research that determined the least invasive and quickest method of implantation. Following that research, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of transmitter implantation on swimming performance and predator avoidance, and to find a minimum size threshold of fish that can be tagged without adversely affecting those responses. To assess critical swimming speed ( U crit ; an index of prolonged swimming performance) and predator avoidance for juvenile Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), fish were split into three treatments: (1) implantation with a dummy injectable acoustic transmitter (IAT treatment), (2) implantation with a dummy injectable acoustic transmitter and passive integrated transponder tag (IAT + PIT treatment), and (3) an untagged control. IAT treatment fish had lower U crit values than untagged controls among individuals below 79 mm fork length (transmitter burden 3.4–4.0%). U crit values for the IAT + PIT treatment were not significantly different from untagged controls and no size threshold was found. There was no significant difference in predator avoidance between fish implanted with the IAT or IAT + PIT compared to untagged controls. These guidelines could provide researchers and managers with a powerful tool to examine behavior and survival of small salmonids.

JO - Journal of Surgical Research JF - Journal of Surgical Research Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 201 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 425 EP - 431 SN - 00224804 AB - Background The knowledge of hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SO 2 ) and tissue oxygenation is critical to identify the presence of shock and therapeutic options. The resonance vibrational enhancement of hemoglobin allows measurement of oxy- and deoxy species of hemoglobin and resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS-StO 2 ) has been successfully used to measure aggregate microvascular oxygenation. We tested the hypothesis that noninvasive oxygen saturation measured by RRS-StO 2 could serve as surrogate of systemic central venous SO 2 . Methods In anesthetized rats, measurements of RRS-StO 2 made in oral mucosa, skin, muscle, and liver were compared with measurements of central venous SO 2 using traditional multi-wavelength oximetry. Various oxygenation levels were obtained using a stepwise hemorrhage while over 100 paired blood samples and Raman-based measurements were performed. The relationships between RRS-StO 2 and clinically important systemic blood parameters were also evaluated. RRS-StO 2 measurements were made in 3-mm diameter tissue areas using a microvascular oximeter and a handheld probe. Results Significant correlations were found between venous SO 2 and RRS-StO 2 measurements made in the oral mucosa ( r = 0.913, P < 0.001), skin ( r = 0.499, P < 0.01), and liver ( r = 0.611, P < 0.05). The mean difference between sublingual RRS-StO 2 and blood sample SO 2 values was 5.4 ± 1.6%. Sublingual RRS-StO 2 also correlated with lactate ( r = 0.909, P < 0.01), potassium ( r = 0.757, P < 0.01), and pH ( r = 0.703, P < 0.05). Conclusions Raman-based oxygen saturation is a promising technique for the noninvasive evaluation of oxygenation in skin, thin tissues, and solid organs. Under certain conditions, sublingual RRS-StO 2 measurements correlate with central venous SO 2 .

T1 - Multi-objective traction optimization of vehicles in loose dry sand using the generalized reduced gradient method. JO - Journal of Terramechanics JF - Journal of Terramechanics Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 64 M3 - Article SP - 46 EP - 57 SN - 00224898 AB - A work optimization strategy is combined with algorithms within the vehicle-terrain interface (VTI) model to maximize the traction of a four-wheel vehicle operating on loose dry sand. The optimization model distributes traction among the steered and non-steered wheels with the work optimum coefficient ( WOC ) of each wheel treated as an independent design objective. Drawbar pull ( DBP ), motion resistance ( MR ), longitudinal traction coefficient ( LTC ), lateral force coefficient ( LFC ), tire deflection, and wheel slip are key parameters that appear in the VTI model for traction performance analysis. The analysis includes wheels of different diameters, widths, heights, and inflation pressures, under variable wheel slips. A multi-objective optimization problem is formulated over a thirteen-dimensional search space bounded by eight design constraints. The generalized reduced gradient method is used to predict optimal values of the design variables as well as ground and traction parameters such as DBP , MR , LTC , and LFC for maximum slope climbing efficiency. The WOCs are maximized for lateral slip angles between 0° and 24° to find a set of Pareto optimal solutions over a wide range of weight factors. A method to apply the optimization results for predicting vehicle performance and traction control on dry sand is presented and discussed.

A: Applications & Materials Science Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 213 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 851 EP - 855 SN - 18626300 AB - The reduction of undesirable gas phase reaction between trimethylaluminum and NH3 was achieved by spatially separating the precursors using N2 purge line during AlN growth by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Under this condition, it was shown that the growth pressure has a strong impact on the surface morphology independent of pre-reaction. For 0.8-μm-thick AlN grown on (0001) sapphire substrates, increasing pressure from 200 to 500 Torr drastically increased a root-mean-squared surface (r.m.s.) roughness from 0.48 to 33 nm. This morphological change was previously attributed to the pre-reaction. Less pre-reaction also allowed us to investigate the pressure dependence of impurity (carbon and oxygen) incorporation in AlN as the growth rate was no longer affected by the pressure. Unlike GaN, the carbon level almost doubled with increasing pressure from 200 to 500 Torr. By optimizing the surface morphology (r.m.s. roughness from 33 to 0.62 nm) at 500 Torr, the carbon concentration in AlN decreased from 5 × 1018 to 7 × 1017 cm−3. Although there was no improvement in the structural quality, this uniquely designed MOCVD could further improve the material quality of AlN by reducing the impurity level.

Herm. (Sandhills milkvetch; Fabaceae). We completed a series of evaluations to determine effective means of germinating and propagating A. michauxii. We collected A. michauxii seed from Fort Bragg, an Army Installation located in the Sandhills ecoregion of North Carolina. While previous work described a germination protocol and suggested the presence of chemical dormancy, we determined that A. michauxii possesses only physical dormancy, which can be successfully broken by mechanical scarification yielding a > 94% germination rate. We also developed an effective method for large-scale propagation of A. michauxii by directly sowing seed into media, rather than transplanting seedlings from Petri plates. This method resulted in an emergence rate comparable to the observed germination rate and a 69% survivorship of seedlings ex situ. Our simplified germination and propagation protocols can effectively be used to provide individual plants for use in reintroduction and restoration.

This paper presents a miniature ASTM-type steady-state tester that was developed to address the resolution limits of standard testers by reducing the heat meter bar thickness and using infrared (IR) thermography to measure the temperature gradient along the heat meter bar. Thermal interfacial resistance measurements on the order of 1 x 10-6 m² K/W with an order of magnitude improvement in the uncertainty of ±1 x 10-7 m² K/W are demonstrated. These measurements were made on several TIMs with a thermal resistance as low as 1.14 x 10-6 m² K/W.

All Macrhybopsis species consumed mostly midge pupae, but M. meeki had the most general diet (Levins' index, B=0·22) compared with M. hyostoma (B=0·02) and M. gelida (B=0·09). Morisita's diet overlap index among species pairs ranged from 0·62 to 0·97 and was highest between M. hyostoma and M. gelida. Daily ages estimated from lapilli otoliths for each species ranged from 15 to 43 days for M. gelida, 19 to 44 for M. hyostoma and from 16 to 64 days for M. meeki. Mean growth rates ranged from 0·79mmday-1 for M. meeki to 1·39mmday-1 for M. gelida. Mortality estimates indicated high daily survivorship rates for M. meeki (0·985), but could not be estimated for the other two species. Hatch date histograms were congruent with the belief that M. hyostoma and M. gelida spawn periodically from June to September. Macrhybopsis meeki, however, appeared to respond to a specific spawning cue as hatch dates were unimodal with a peak in July. These results fill a gap in current knowledge of these imperilled species that can be used to guide management decisions.

We tested the hypothesis that native congeners differ in their nodule bacteria associations compared to L. cuneata. Methods: Plots with high L. cuneata invasion, low L. cuneata invasion with native Lespedeza species present, and uninvaded plots where native Lespedeza species existed without L. cuneata were sampled. Nodules were collected from all Lespedeza species present, and Chamaecrista fasciculata, a common native annual legume. Bacterial DNA from nodules was isolated and sequenced. Results: Nodule bacterial composition differed significantly between hosts. L. cuneata nodules contained high frequencies of rhizobial DNA and low bacterial diversity, while native Lespedeza nodules contained lower rhizobial frequencies and higher non-rhizobial bacterial diversity. Specific non-rhizobial bacterial groups exhibited strong associations with native legumes and uninvaded sites. Conclusions: Significant differences exist in the nodule bacterial composition between native legumes and an introduced congener. The mechanism(s) and ecological importance of these differences remain unknown. These differences in bacterial associations could influence not only the competitive ability of the invader, but recovery of invaded sites as well.

JO - Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic & Clinical JF - Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic & Clinical Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 196 M3 - Article SP - 63 EP - 74 SN - 15660702 AB - Cold exposure in humans causes specific acute and chronic physiological responses. This paper will review both the acute and long-term physiological responses and external factors that impact these physiological responses. Acute physiological responses to cold exposure include cutaneous vasoconstriction and shivering thermogenesis which, respectively, decrease heat loss and increase metabolic heat production. Vasoconstriction is elicited through reflex and local cooling. In combination, vasoconstriction and shivering operate to maintain thermal balance when the body is losing heat. Factors (anthropometry, sex, race, fitness, thermoregulatory fatigue) that influence the acute physiological responses to cold exposure are also reviewed. The physiological responses to chronic cold exposure, also known as cold acclimation/acclimatization, are also presented. Three primary patterns of cold acclimatization have been observed, a) habituation, b) metabolic adjustment, and c) insulative adjustment. Habituation is characterized by physiological adjustments in which the response is attenuated compared to an unacclimatized state. Metabolic acclimatization is characterized by an increased thermogenesis, whereas insulative acclimatization is characterized by enhancing the mechanisms that conserve body heat. The pattern of acclimatization is dependent on changes in skin and core temperature and the exposure duration.

A TBW deficit ≥ 2% body mass (hypohydration) is recognized as the threshold when thermoregulatory function becomes measurably altered. Hypohydration may occur from voluntary fluid restriction, insufficient fluid availability, or thermoregulatory sweating. The secretion and evaporation of sweat important avenues of body heat loss, and if the water lost is not replaced, hypohydration will decrease plasma volume and increase plasma osmotic pressure (hyperosmotic hypovolemia). Both osmotic and/or volume stressors delay the onset and/or reduce the sensitivity of sweating and blood flow responses. The magnitude of hypohydration, environmental heat stress, the population and circumstances of interest will determine the degree, significance and outcome of these thermoregulatory alterations and their contribution to physiological stress.

The study shows that the dispersion relations of plasmons in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) capped with asymmetric dual grating gates have energy band gaps in the Brillion zones. Depending on the wave vector, the plasmons can have symmetrical, anti-symmetrical, and asymmetrical charge distributions that are different from the ones for uniform gratings case. Plasmons in the studied plasmonic crystal exhibit both tightly confined/weakly coupled behavior and propagating/strongly coupled behavior depending on the plasmonic modes. The responsivity of the plasmonic detector based on asymmetric dual grating gate does not monotonically decrease with the frequency, which is in contrast to the responsivity of uniform grating THz detectors. The cross-section of an asymmetric dual grating gate terahertz plasmonic device under THz illumination is represented, where excited plasmons are shown in red.

JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 535 M3 - Article SP - 270 EP - 281 SN - 00221694 AB - Summary Vadose zone flow problems are usually solved from the Richards equation. Solution to the Richards equation is generally challenging because the hydraulic conductivity and diffusivity in the equation are strongly non-linear functions of water content. The finite water-content method was proposed as an alternative general solution method of the vadose zone flow problem for infiltration, falling slugs, and vadose zone response to water table dynamics based on discretizing the water content domain into numerous bins instead of the traditional spatial discretization. In this study, we develop an improved approach to the original finite water-content method (referred to as TO method hereinafter) that better simulates diffusive effects but retains the robustness of the TO method. The approach treats advection and diffusion separately and considers diffusion on a bin by bin basis. After discretizing into water content bins, we treat the conductivity and diffusivity in individual bins as water content dependent constant evaluated at given water content corresponding to each bin. For each bin, we can solve the flow equations analytically since the hydraulic conductivity and diffusivity can be treated as a constant. We then develop solutions for each bin to determine the diffusive water amounts at each time step. The water amount ahead of the convective front for each bin is redistributed among water content bins to account for diffusive effects. The application of developed solution is straightforward only involving algebraic manipulations at each time step. The method can mainly improve water content profiles, but has no significant difference for the total infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration compared to the TO method. Although the method separately deals with advection and diffusion, it can account for the coupling effects of advection and diffusion reasonably well.

JO - Management of Biological Invasions JF - Management of Biological Invasions Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 141 EP - 155 SN - 19898649 AB - We developed a spatially-explicit, habitat suitability model that can be used to identify and predict areas at higher risk for non-native dwarf eelgrass (Zostera japonica) invasion. The niche-based model uses simple readily available environmental parameters (depth, near shore slope, and salinity) to quantitatively describe habitat suitable for Z. japonica invasion based on ecology and physiology from the primary literature. Habitat suitability is defined with values ranging from zero to one, where one denotes areas most conducive to Z. japonica and zero denotes areas not likely to support Z. japonica growth. Functional forms and equations for the ZJHSM were developed a priori, and the model was validated by comparison with multiple years of independent field-collected spatial Z. japonica maps from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, USA, an area that has well documented Z. japonica expansion over the last two decades. Sensitivity analysis performed to evaluate the contribution of each parameter to the model prediction revealed that depth was the most important factor. The highest suitability values for Z. japonica occurred in the mid to upper portions of the intertidal zone, with larger expanses occurring in the lower estuary. While the upper estuary did contain suitable habitat, most areas were not as large as in the lower estuary, due to inappropriate depth, a steeply sloping intertidal zone, and lower salinity. The lowest suitability values occurred below the lower intertidal zone, within the Yaquina River channel. Shallow sloping intertidal soft-bottom sediments appear to provide optimum habitat for this species. This model would allow resource managers to identify those areas at risk for future invasion, and develop proactive plans for limiting the opportunities for further introduction and spread in areas where it does not currently occur.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 148 M3 - Article SP - 322 EP - 327 SN - 00456535 AB - The affinity of various energetic compounds for a biological membrane was investigated using experimental and computational techniques. We measured octanol–water (log(K ow )) and liposome–water (log(K lipw )) partition coefficients for the following chemicals: trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), 2methoxy-5-nitrophenol (2M5NP), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TNB), and 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP). In order to determine log(K lipw ) experimentally, we used artificial solid supported lipid liposomes produced under trade mark TRANSIL. Log(K ow ) value were predicted with several program packages including the COSMOthermX software. Log(K lipw ) were estimated with COSMOmic as implemented in the COSMOthermX program package. In order to verify accuracy of our experimentally obtained results, we performed basic statistical analysis of data taken from the literature. We concluded that compounds considered in this study possess a moderate ability to penetrate into membranes. Comparison of both coefficients has shown that in general, the log(K ow ) values are slightly smaller than log(K lipw ).

JO - Planetary & Space Science JF - Planetary & Space Science Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 123 M3 - Article SP - 63 EP - 76 SN - 00320633 AB - We examine the dispersion of the degree of linear polarization P in comets at phase angle ~90° where the maximum amplitude of positive polarization P max occurs. The range of polarization observed in comets is from 7% up to more than 30%, and this cannot be explained through depolarization by gaseous emissions. Instead, we suggest that the observed dispersion of P results from different properties in cometary dust. We simulate the spectral polarimetric observations of comets using model agglomerated debris particles. The vast majority of observations can be reproduced with a mixture of weakly absorbing and highly absorbing agglomerated debris particles, which obey the same power-law size distribution. Within this extremely simple approach, polarization at side-scattering angles in a given comet is governed by the relative abundance of weakly and strongly absorbing particles. We find that in comets with the highest polarization, the weakly absorbing particles appear in proportions of only 14–23% by volume; whereas, in comets with the lowest polarization P max , their abundance is much greater, 82–95%. We conclude that the polarization at side-scattering angles unambiguously measures the relative abundance of Mg-rich silicates and refractory organics or amorphous carbon in comets. We put forth a hypothesis that low P max could be an indicator for presence of a well-developed refractory surface layer covering cometary nucleus.

They themselves suffer from crises of masculinity as warriors sent to "wage peace." Thus, this article highlights the troubling paradox of male identities in conflict by examining the high rates of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) by UN peacekeepers in the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) and the subsequent United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). Although SEA in the DRC has declined in recent years as the UN has taken important steps to address the problem, this case study reveals the pertinent social, legal, and political institutions impacting UN peacekeeping and identifies four factors that continue to contribute to the high rates of SEA amongst UN peacekeepers in the DRC. This study also identifies and formulates significant structural changes in training and enforcement methods in order to prevent SEA in future UN peacekeeping operations.

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how U.S. Army officers attending the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) decided to enroll in a master's degree program. Four research questions guided the study to determine whether and how career requirements, post-military aspirations, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced the choice to pursue a master's degree. A conceptual framework comprised career development, career decision making, and adult development that provided additional guidance. The study used a case study methodology, and 26 military students participated. Data collection comprised interview and surveys, and data analysis comprised coding with peer review and member checking. The findings affirmed the research questions and identified themes related to self-efficacy, goal setting, persistence, and time management, leading to implications.

JO - Natural Hazards & Earth System Sciences JF - Natural Hazards & Earth System Sciences Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 15 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1933 EP - 1940 PB - Copernicus Gesellschaft mbH SN - 15618633 AB - Droughts will likely become more frequent, greater in magnitude and longer in duration in the future due to climate change. Already in the present climate, a variety of drought events may occur with different exceedance frequencies. These frequencies are becoming more uncertain due to climate change. Many methods in support of drought risk management focus on providing insight into changing drought frequencies, and use water supply reliability as a key decision criterion. In contrast, robustness analysis focuses on providing insight into the full range of drought events and their impact on a system's functionality. This method has been developed for flood risk systems, but applications on drought risk systems are lacking. This paper aims to develop robustness analysis for drought risk systems, and illustrates the approach through a case study with a water supply reservoir and its users. We explore drought characterization and the assessment of a system's ability to deal with drought events, by quantifying the severity and socioeconomic impact of a variety of drought events, both frequent and rare ones. Furthermore, we show the effect of three common drought management strategies (increasing supply, reducing demand and implementing hedging rules) on the robustness of the coupled water supply and socio-economic system. The case is inspired by Oologah Lake, a multipurpose reservoir in Oklahoma, United States. Results demonstrate that although demand reduction and supply increase may have a comparable effect on the supply reliability, demand reduction may be preferred from a robustness perspective. To prepare drought management plans for dealing with current and future droughts, it is thus recommended to test how alternative drought strategies contribute to a system's robustness rather than relying solely on water reliability as the decision criterion.

However, the relevance and merit of these credentials can be difficult to determine objectively. Board certification can be a reliable indicator of proficiency if the certifying organization demonstrates, through regularly scheduled independent review, that its processes meet established standards and when a certificate holder is required to periodically demonstrate command of a body of knowledge that is essential to current professional practice. Objective: We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. Discussion: An examination is the most commonly used instrument for testing a certification candidate’s command of the body of knowledge. However, an examination-based certification is only creditable when the body of knowledge, to which a certification examination tests, is representative of the current knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to effectively practice at the professional level. Thus, that body of knowledge must be the current “Standard of Knowledge” for the profession, compiled in a transparent fashion from current practitioners of the profession. Conclusion: This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

Sediments from New Bedford Harbor were used as test samples. Six sets of experiments were run for simulated resuspension and residual scenarios. During the experiments, water above the sediments was recirculated by peristaltic pumping or orbital shaking and the levels of two PCBs, Aroclor 1248 (PCB-1248) and Aroclor 1254 (PCB-1254), were monitored for 15 days. Analysis of the model predicted data indicated that resulting water column PCB concentrations differed with sediment surface, residual, and resuspension type. Highest PCB water column concentrations were observed for a condition which used a settled fluff from thin sediment slurry as a residual source and the column water was recirculated by orbital shaking. Lowest water column PCB levels were observed for a thick sediment deposit placed over clean sand. The PCB levels in the water column for all six simulated conditions were several orders higher than the USEPA ambient water quality criteria concentrations for aquatic environment and human consumption.

This effort provided a framework for evidence-based, culturally and linguistically centered nutrition education and skill-building modules. Eight educational workshops (4 hours per month) comprised of in-depth nutrition education and skill-building lessons were conducted (December 2012–July 2013). Student’s paired sample t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared pre- and posttest nutrition knowledge scores for each workshop; scores were significantly improved (P = .02). Medial assessment focus group analysis suggested that nutrition education workshops provided worth, impact, and empowerment. Results suggest that collaborative community efforts involving promotoras/community health workers empower and allow for greater opportunities for outreach and delivery of evidence-based community health education to hard-to-reach residents.

SN - 21945403 AB - The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for the management of the Nation's water resource infrastructure and is presently challenged to continue the safe operation and management of that aging infrastructure. These challenges span from changes in climate patterns to increased environmental concerns, greater coastal population densities and associated infrastructure, and limited budgets. One way to mitigate these issues is the concept of resilience. In 2013, the Coastal Engineering Research Board (CERB) began to define resilience and understand its relation to coastal water infrastructure needs. This work was a step forward in facilitating the USACE's integration of resilience into coastal engineering assessment and project design. The CERB has defined resilience using the four concepts of 'prepare,' 'resist,' 'recover,' and 'adapt.' These four concepts are utilized in a system-wide approach that encompasses not only water resource engineered infrastructure (that the USACE builds and manages), but also considers community and ecological infrastructure. Using this framework and literature from previous federal and academic studies, three methods were developed that incorporate different levels of expert and data-driven assessment. Two of these methods, herein named Tier 1 and Tier 3, were tested in a pilot study in Jamaica Bay, NY. Building off of the results from Jamaica Bay, Tier 1 is being refined and Tier 2 is in development.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 35 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 228 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 21945403 AB - The US government has focused considerable attention on enhancing our society's ability to protect critical systems and services from disruptive events. Over the past decade, federal agencies have bolstered their efforts to identify and minimize threats using traditional risk-based approaches such as continuity of operations and disaster risk reduction processes. However, these valuable risk identification and management tools are limited because they rely upon foreseeable factor analyses of steady-state systems with predictable hazard frequencies and severities. In assessing the capability of complex adaptive systems to cope with disruptions, an overemphasis upon engineering resilience through risk management and planning for what is predictable may cloud or detract from our efforts to better understand a system's emergent capabilities to withstand disruptions that are unforeseeable. This article contends that augmenting traditional risk approaches through the incorporation of methodologies grounded in socio-ecological system (SES) resilience principles offers a potential avenue for improving our agencies' abilities to assess and manage both known and unknown risks. We offer a notional rationale for broadening our examination of system vulnerabilities and present a conceptual model that combines engineering and SES resilience paradigms to facilitate the identification, assessment, and management of system vulnerabilities. The Military Installation Resilience Assessment model described herein applies risk and resilience principles to evaluate whole systems, focusing on interconnections and their functionality in facilitating response and adaptation.

SN - 21945403 AB - Recent directives from the US Office of the President have detailed the need for resilience in the face of increased security threats and natural disasters. While these documents call for resilience improvements, no guiding framework for the assessment of resilience exists. Federal agencies are then deriving individual ways to address resilience, resulting in a series of parallel efforts instead of one national cohesive effort. This paper summarizes the portfolio of current efforts implemented by agencies to guide the integration of resilience assessment across the federal government. We present a critical overview on the state of resilience science within seven federal agencies and our perspective on the consistencies and disparities on how each agency is enacting presidential orders. The resulting analysis identifies differences in approaches to resilience and common ground upon which federal agencies can use to support more effective programs.

Linkov et al.'s (Environ Sci Technol 47(18):10108-10110, ; Environ Syst Decis 33(4):471-476, ) Resilience Matrix (RM) framework utilizes local stakeholder-informed metrics aligned with the temporal stages of the National Academy of Science definition of disaster resilience. Here we demonstrate the application of the RM to coastal community resilience at Rockaway Peninsula, New York. We present the flexibility of the RM methodology by using both qualitative and quantitative metrics drawn from post-Hurricane Sandy reports. The presentation of the case study results reveals opportunities to prioritize investments and collaborate among responsible parties.

Along with image resolution and sizing, two additional challenges in video analysis from these devices are the automated tracking of settling particles and accounting for fluid motions within the settling column. A combination of particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) image analysis techniques is described, which permits general automation of image analysis collected from video settling columns. In the fixed image plane, large-particle velocities are determined by PTV and small-particle velocities are tracked by PIV and treated as surrogates for fluid velocities. The large-particle settling velocity (relative to the suspending fluid) is determined by the vector difference of the large and small-particle settling velocities. The combined PTV/PIV image analysis approach is demonstrated for video settling column data collected within a dredge plume in Boston Harbor. The automated PTV/PIV approach significantly reduces uncertainties in measured settling velocity and inferred floc density.

Because deposition is a critical step in the initiation of inhalation anthrax, inhaled doses may not provide the most accurate cross-species comparison. For this reason, species-specific deposition factors were derived to translate inhaled dose to deposited dose. Four NHP, three rabbit, and two guinea pig data sets were utilized. Results from species-specific pooling analysis suggested all four NHP data sets could be pooled into a single NHP data set, which was also true for the rabbit and guinea pig data sets. The three species-specific pooled data sets could not be combined into a single generic mammalian data set. For inhaled dose, NHPs were the most sensitive (relative lowest LD50) species and rabbits the least. Improved inhaled LD50s proposed for use in risk assessment are 50,600, 102,600, and 70,800 inhaled spores for NHP, rabbit, and guinea pig, respectively. Lung deposition factors were estimated for each species using published deposition data from Bacillus spore exposures, particle deposition studies, and computer modeling. Deposition was estimated at 22%, 9%, and 30% of the inhaled dose for NHP, rabbit, and guinea pig, respectively. When the inhaled dose was adjusted to reflect deposited dose, the rabbit animal model appears the most sensitive with the guinea pig the least sensitive species.

JO - Fire Ecology JF - Fire Ecology Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 11 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 74 EP - 87 PB - Association for Fire Ecology SN - 19339747 AB - The probability of stem survival after fire is strongly influenced by energy allocation to bark because bark thickness affects heat transfer during fire. Greater relative investment in inner bark versus outer bark should also enhance survival because of greater moisture content of inner bark. We measured stem diameter, bark thickness, and habitat preference of five species typical of longleaf pine savannas, and six species characteristic of adjacent wetlands (pocosins), and calculated relative bark thickness, the inner bark proportion, radial growth, and bark accumulation of each species. We hypothesized that savanna species have thicker bark and greater relative investment in inner bark than pocosin species, because fires occur more frequently in savannas than pocosins. As hypothesized, savanna species have relatively thicker bark than pocosin species. Relative bark thickness and the rate of bark accumulation were correlated with the mean location of a species along the pocosin-to-savanna gradient. However, the inner bark proportion did not differ between savanna and pocosin species. Our results indicate that relative bark thickness is likely the primary bark trait affecting fire-induced topkill and influencing the distribution of species along the pocosin-to-savanna gradient.

Una mayor inversión relativa en las estructuras internas de la corteza por sobre las externas aumenta la sobrevivencia, debido al mayor contenido de humedad que poseen las estructuras internas. Nosotros medimos el diámetro del tronco, la proporción de estructuras internas de la corteza y las preferencias de hábitat de cinco especies típicas de sabanas de pino de hoja larga (o pino palustre) y de seis especies características de humedales adyacentes (pocosins), y calculamos el espesor relativo de la corteza, la proporción de estructuras internas de la corteza, el crecimiento radial, y la acumulación de corteza de cada especie. Hipotetizamos que las especies de sabana tienen una corteza más gruesa e invierten más recursos en la creación de estructuras de la corteza interna, dado que los incendios ocurren más frecuentemente en sabanas que en pocosins. Como fuera hipotetizado, las especies de sabana tienen efectivamente la corteza más gruesa que las especies de pocosins. El ancho relativo de la corteza y su tasa relativa de acumulación fueron correlacio nadas con la ubicación media de las especies a lo largo del gradiente desde los pocosin hasta la sabana. Por supuesto, la proporción de la corteza interna no difirió entre las especies de sabana y de pocosins. Nuestros resultados indican que el espesor relativo de la corteza es prácticamente el atributo más importante que afecta la muerte apical inducida por fuego, e influencia la distribución de especies a lo largo del gradiente entre la sabana y los pocosins.

SN - 03781909 AB - We used acoustic telemetry to monitor the out-migration of 1,000 steelhead smolts ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) through the San Francisco Bay Estuary during spring of 2009 and 2010. The smolts transited the estuary rapidly (2-4 days) and utilized flows in the main channel during their migration. Fewer smolts were detected in marinas, tributaries and other shallow areas surrounding the estuary. Many of the smolts made repeated upriver and downriver movements that were related to the tidal flow, moving upstream during flood tides and downstream during ebb tides. These results show that steelhead smolts migrating from the Sacramento River transit rapidly through the lower reaches and do not use the estuary for feeding, rearing, or smoltification purposes.

SN - 0364152X AB - Managers were invited to attend the two-day 'Predicting Ecological Changes in the Florida Everglades in a Future Climate Scenario' workshop and to participate in discussion and panel sessions. This paper provides a management perspective on the technical presentations presented at the workshop, identifying information of particular interest to Everglades restoration decision-making. In addition, the paper highlights the points related to science and decision-making that emerged from the discussion sessions and provides thoughts for future discussion in a follow-up forum. Particular focus is dedicated to the importance of and challenges associated with integrating science and decision-making. In addition, the paper offers a management perspective on the uncertainties of climate science and the implications they have for influencing Everglades restoration decision-making. The authors propose that on the one hand, even given uncertainties associated with predicting the ecological response to climate change, there remains a scientific consensus that Everglades restoration is generally on the right track. On the other hand, uncertainty can be a significant barrier to climate science influencing the implementation of restoration and adaptive management programs.

Since studies dating back to 1992 have suggested that DMPA may increase the transmission of HIV to women, we endeavored to determine if the extant epidemiological and biological evidence is sufficient to conclude that DMPA use constitutes a definite hazard to women's health. Methods: We searched Medline using the search terms: contraceptives or contraception AND HIV and searched bibliographies of articles thus identified. We included in the meta-analysis all studies examining the association between use of DMPA (or injectable contraceptives comprising mostly DMPA) and the presence (cross-sectional studies, n = 8) or acquisition (longitudinal studies, n = 16) of HIV+ status in women, using a random effects models to estimate odds ratios (ORs; cross-sectional studies) and hazard ratios (HRs; longitudinal studies). Studies were excluded if the comparison group included women using any form of steroidal contraception. Results: Statistically significant positive associations between DMPA use and HIV positivity were observed both in cross-sectional (OR = 1.41, 95% Cl 1.15 - 1.73) and longitudinal studies (HR = 1.49, 95% Cl 1.28 - 1.73). The biological plausibility of increased vulnerability to HIV infection due to progestational action (via thinning of the vaginal epithelial barrier and immunosuppression) as well as glucocorticoid agonistic immunosuppression, are discussed. Conclusion: The epidemiological and biological evidence now make a compelling case that DMPA adds significantly to the risk of male-to-female HIV transmission.

Using an experimental approach, the authors estimated the effects of two different education methodologies (principles-based and rules-of-thumb) on the knowledge, self-assessed knowledge, financial self-efficacy, motivation to learn, willingness to seek advice, risk preferences, and time preferences of high-performing undergraduate students. They found both methods increased cognitive measures of knowledge and noncognitive measures of self-efficacy, motivation to learn, and willingness to take financial risks. They found few differences in the relative effectiveness of each method, although the principles methodology appears to generate larger gains in self-efficacy, while the rules-of-thumb method appears to reduce individuals' willingness to seek advice.

This was due in large part to the particularities of Brazilian society, in which law enforcement agencies, rife with corruption, perpetuated the idea that a hero detective who dedicated himself to solving a crime was very foreign. The 1960s saw more Brazilian authors writing detective fiction. A boom in detective literature took place in the 1990s when the end of the dictatorship caused a relaxation of censorship. Among these authors was Jô Soares, whose 1995 novel O xangô de Baker Street not only places a classical whodunit on Brazilian soil, but also adapts an icon of the genre, Sherlock Holmes, to Brazilian society. By using the Brazilian idea of the carnivalesque, Soares inverts the typical role of Holmes and reinvents the character in a decidedly Brazilian detective novel, rather than merely modifying the British format.

JO - Marine Pollution Bulletin JF - Marine Pollution Bulletin Y1 - 2016/08/15/ VL - 109 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 253 EP - 258 SN - 0025326X AB - Crude oil released from the Deepwater Horizon disaster into the Gulf of Mexico posed potential impacts to infaunal invertebrates inhabiting near shore habitats. The effects of sediment-associated weathered slick oil on the amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was assessed using 28-d exposures to total PAH sediment concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 24 mg/kg (sum of 50 PAHs or tPAH50). Survival and growth rate were significantly decreased in the 2.6, 11.4 and 24.2 mg/kg treatments, but only growth in 5.5 mg/kg. Offspring production was dramatically decreased but was variable and significantly different only for 24.2 mg/kg. The concentrations associated with 20% decreases relative to reference were 1.05 (95% CI = 0–2.89) mg/kg tPAH50 for growth rate and 0.632 (95% CI = 0.11–2.15) mg/kg tPAH50 for offspring production. The concentrations of PAHs affecting amphipods are within the range of concentrations measured in marsh areas reportedly impacted by DWH oil after its release.

Many Mediterranean-climate salt marshes along southern California, USA coast import sediment during El Niño storm events, but sediment fluxes and mechanisms during dry weather are potentially important for marsh stability. We calculated tidal creek sediment fluxes within a highly modified, sediment-starved, 1.5-km salt marsh (Seal Beach) and a less modified 1-km marsh (Mugu) with fluvial sediment supply. We measured salt marsh plain suspended sediment concentration and vertical accretion using single stage samplers and marker horizons. At Seal Beach, a 2014 storm yielded 39 and 28 g/s mean sediment fluxes and imported 12,000 and 8800 kg in a western and eastern channel. Western channel storm imports offset 8700 kg exported during 2 months of dry weather, while eastern channel storm imports augmented 9200 kg imported during dry weather. During the storm at Mugu, suspended sediment concentrations on the marsh plain increased by a factor of four; accretion was 1-2 mm near creek levees. An exceptionally high tide sequence yielded 4.4 g/s mean sediment flux, importing 1700 kg: 20 % of Mugu's dry weather fluxes. Overall, low sediment fluxes were observed, suggesting that these salt marshes are geomorphically stable during dry weather conditions. Results suggest storms and high lunar tides may play large roles, importing sediment and maintaining dry weather sediment flux balances for southern California salt marshes. However, under future climate change and sea level rise scenarios, results suggest that balanced sediment fluxes lead to marsh elevational instability based on estimated mineral sediment deficits.

JO - Biological Invasions JF - Biological Invasions Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2107 EP - 2115 SN - 13873547 AB - Water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, is an invasive, tropical, aquatic plant that has caused significant environmental and economic damage since its establishment in Louisiana, USA, in 1884. Both invasion control programs and freezing temperatures are known to negatively affect water hyacinth populations; however, the combined impact of these factors on water hyacinth population dynamics has not yet been quantified, thereby limiting the ability to isolate the effectiveness of biocontrol and other types of control under variable weather conditions. We built a seasonal logistic population model that included time-varying intrinsic growth and overwinter mortality parameters which were estimated by fitting the model to vegetation survey data. We estimated that annual overwinter mortality rates declined from a peak of 71 % in 1977 to the time series low of 11 % in the winter of 1992, followed by an average of 28 % per year from 1993 to 2013. After accounting for the magnitude and trend of overwinter dieback events, our model predicted that the intrinsic growth rate of the Louisiana water hyacinth population declined by 84 % between 1976 and 2013. Despite higher average winter temperatures in recent decades, the population has not rebounded. Our study reveals the dramatic effectiveness of Louisiana's biological control program to successfully suppress water hyacinth invasion.

A portion of the fired DU penetrators are being managed under controlled conditions by leaving them in place. The widespread use of DU in armor-penetrating weapons has raised environmental and human health concerns. The present study is focused on the onsite management approach and on the potential interactions with plants local to YPG. A 30 day study was conducted to assess the toxicity of DU corrosion products (e.g., schoepite and meta-schoepite) in two grass species that are native to YPG, Bermuda ( Cynodon dactylon) and Purple Threeawn ( Aristida purpurea). In addition, the ability for plants to uptake DU was studied. The results of this study show a much lower threshold for biomass toxicity and higher plant concentrations, particularly in the roots than shoots, compared to previous studies.

An effective destructive technology could be useful to protect sensitive areas, such as areas near water intakes. The study presented in this article explored the use of a reactor called the KRIA Water Treatment System. The reactor focuses on the injection of superoxide (O), which is generated electrochemically from the atmosphere, into the water body. In addition, the injection process generates a significant amount of cavitation. The treatment process was tested in 190-L reactors spiked with water from cyanobacterial contaminated lakes. The treatment was very effective at destroying the predominant species of cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa, organic matter, and decreasing chlorophyll concentration. Microcystin toxin concentrations were also reduced. Data suggest that cavitation alone was an effective treatment, but the addition of superoxide improved performance, particularly regarding removal of cyanobacteria and reduction of microcystin concentration.

JO - Ecohydrology JF - Ecohydrology Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 9 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 560 EP - 573 SN - 19360584 AB - Aquatic ecosystems of North American deserts are frequently very restricted in area and tend to harbour very specialized species endemic to their restricted habitats. Small changes in environmental conditions of these specialized forms may jeopardize their persistence. A notable example of endemic and specialized species that may have been influenced by slight changes in its habitat is the Devils Hole pupfish ( Cyprinodon diabolis), which occurs only in a small pool ecosystem in the Mojave Desert of the Southwestern United States. In this study, we use a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model to examine the physical effects of climate change and local groundwater management on Devils Hole and combine those results with a conceptual ecological model to consider the impacts of those changes on annual recruitment of C. diabolis. The CFD model predicts water temperatures as a response to climate and water level, and the ecological model is used to determine the timing of tipping points that may encourage or suppress the annual recruitment of C. diabolis. The combination of interdisciplinary modelling approaches offers a method to quantify and compare the suitability of habitat under a range of management and climate scenarios. Our results show that the influence of water level on peak temperatures in Devils Hole (and on the ecosystem's suitability for C. diabolis) is an order of magnitude greater than the influence of climate change.

JO - Fire & Materials JF - Fire & Materials Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 40 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 599 EP - 611 SN - 03080501 AB - In this paper, the effects of laundering on the flammability of a military uniform fabric were studied. The flame retardant was incorporated into the fiber prior to fiber spinning, and its ability to maintain flame spread and flame retardancy was evaluated by multiple test methods. Vertical flame spread, cone calorimeter, and pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry were used to determine how many of the flame retardants were removed as a function of wash cycles and if there was any measurable reduction in heat release/fire safety performance that correlated with a loss in flame retardant from washing. Fire testing showed that flame spread performance was maintained within the normal error for the measurement and heat release testing showed very little difference between samples as a function of laundering. Additional analysis via pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed that while the flame retardant levels did decrease with washing, enough of the material remained embedded in the fibers so that fire performance could be maintained. The results do indicate that the flame retardant can be washed off, but because of the flame retardant being deeply embedded in the fiber, enough will remain with the fabric after 25 washes to maintain flame retardant performance.

To quantify the drivers of these feedbacks, we combined measurements of vegetation, fuels, and microclimate with observations of fire spread along ecotonal gradients. We established 113 permanent transects (consisting of 532 plots), each traversing an ecotone between savanna and wetland in the Sandhills of North Carolina, USA. In each plot, we recorded cover of ten plant functional types. We collected surface fuels at a subset of our transects. We continuously monitored microclimate (nine meteorological variables) across 21 representative ecotones. Following prescribed fire, we measured fire spread along each transect. Vegetation structure and microclimate significantly predicted fire spread along the savanna-wetland ecotone. Fire spread was most influenced by vegetation structure, specifically C grass cover, which accounted for 67 % of the variance explained by our model. We have identified the components of the fire, vegetation, and microclimate feedback that control where fires stop under current conditions, but their control should not be considered absolute. For example, when ignited in savanna, prescribed burns continued through wetland vegetation 43 % of the time. The feedback operating within these systems may be relatively weak as compared to other savanna systems. Environmental changes may alter fire spread extent, and with it ecosystem boundaries, or even ecosystem states.

JO - Journal of Paleolimnology JF - Journal of Paleolimnology Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 56 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 31 SN - 09212728 AB - Watershed land-use changes, including urbanization, have caused accelerated soil erosion, which in turn has increased sediment accumulation rates in most aging reservoirs in the mid-western United States (USA), thereby posing a threat to their longevity and productivity. We analyzed three sediment cores from each of two reservoirs in the mid-western USA, the Webber Dam impoundment in Michigan and Goshen Pond in Indiana. Core chronologies were established using Cs and Pb. Concentrations of organic carbon and nitrogen and their stable isotope compositions (δC and δN) were measured to investigate past land-use changes. We used three excess Pb-based (Pb) sedimentation rate models (constant Pb flux and sedimentation, constant rate of supply of Pb and constant initial Pb concentration) to develop core chronologies and compared them to the chronology obtained from the Cs peak. Validation of the excess Pb-based chronology withCs-based chronology requires more than one Pb-based-model. That is, even in one watershed, output from more than one Pb-based model may have to be compared with an independent time marker. We compared C/N ratios, δC and δN among three time horizons in each of the three cores from the reservoirs (corresponding to dates of 1950, 1970 and 2010). Within a reservoir, there can be large differences between cores for a given time horizon, indicating there could be spatial differences in sources of C and N and the processes that influence carbon and nitrogen isotopes. We conclude that multiple sediment cores from reservoirs should be analyzed if carbon and nitrogen isotopes in sediments are to be used for paleoenvironmental inference.

These components may then be applied to compare alternative operational regimes for water resource infrastructure (e.g., diversions, locks, and dams). Intra- and inter-annual hydrologic variability further complicates these already complex environmental flow decisions. Effective discharge analysis (developed in studies of geomorphology) is a powerful tool for integrating temporal variability of flow magnitude and associated ecological consequences. Here, we adapt the effectiveness framework to include multiple elements of the natural flow regime (i.e., timing, duration, and rate-of-change) as well as two flow variables. We demonstrate this analytical approach using a case study of environmental flow management based on long-term (60 years) daily discharge records in the Middle Oconee River near Athens, GA, USA. Specifically, we apply an existing model for estimating young-of-year fish recruitment based on flow-dependent metrics to an effective discharge analysis that incorporates hydrologic variability and multiple focal taxa. We then compare three alternative methods of environmental flow provision. Percentage-based withdrawal schemes outcompete other environmental flow methods across all levels of water withdrawal and ecological outcomes.

Impoundment has greatly reduced the amount of shallow-water rearing habitat that is exacerbated by the steep topography of reservoirs. Periodic dredging creates opportunities to strategically place spoils to increase the amount of shallow-water habitat for subyearlings while at the same time reducing the amount of unsuitable area that is often preferred by predators. We assessed the amount and spatial arrangement of subyearling rearing habitat in Lower Granite Reservoir on the Snake River to guide future habitat improvement efforts. A spatially explicit habitat assessment was conducted using physical habitat data, two-dimensional hydrodynamic modelling and a statistical habitat model in a geographic information system framework. We used field collections of subyearlings and a common predator [smallmouth bass ( Micropterus dolomieu)] to draw inferences about predation risk within specific habitat types. Most of the high-probability rearing habitat was located in the upper half of the reservoir where gently sloping landforms created low lateral bed slopes and shallow-water habitats. Only 29% of shorelines were predicted to be suitable (probability >0.5) for subyearlings, and the occurrence of these shorelines decreased in a downstream direction. The remaining, less suitable areas were composed of low-probability habitats in unmodified (25%) and riprapped shorelines (46%). As expected, most subyearlings were found in high-probability habitat, while most smallmouth bass were found in low-probability locations. However, some subyearlings were found in low-probability habitats, such as riprap, where predation risk could be high. Given their transient rearing strategy and dependence on shoreline habitats, subyearlings could benefit from habitat creation efforts in the lower reservoir where high-probability habitat is generally lacking.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 32 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 845 EP - 855 SN - 15351459 AB - The Atchafalaya River Basin Floodway (ARBF), a regulated river/floodplain distributary of the Mississippi River, experiences an annual flood pulse that strongly influences floodplain physicochemistry. We developed several metrics to investigate the relationship between the timing and magnitude of the flood pulse and floodplain hypoxia, which in most years is a spatially extensive and temporally prolonged problem in the lower ARBF. Principal components analysis of flood metrics from 2001 to 2009 revealed contrasting flood types (early cool and late warm), but component-based general linear models were unable to predict the magnitude of hypoxia in ARBF water management areas (WMAs). Further analyses based on temperature and geographic information system-determined WMA inundation with generalized additive models (GAMs) revealed WMA-specific patterns of hypoxia, but the likelihood of hypoxia consistently increased when temperatures approached 20°C and inundation rose above 20-30%. Validation with held-out data based on logistic regression indicated that the models constructed with the 2001-2009 temperature and inundation data were able to accurately predict the probabilities of hypoxia in two WMAs based on data collected from 2010 to 2013. The GAMs were an effective tool for visualizing and predicting the probability of hypoxia based on two easily generated parameters. Our analyses indicate that modification of the Atchafalaya River flood pulse could reduce the magnitude of hypoxia within the lower ARBF, subject to engineering (control structure operation) and economic (commercial fisheries production) constraints, by minimizing floodplain inundation after water temperatures reach 20°C.

JO - Coastal Management JF - Coastal Management Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 193 EP - 208 SN - 08920753 AB - The Civil Works mission area of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) spans multiple programs including navigation, flood risk management, infrastructure construction and operation, and environmental stewardship–including restoration and regulation of protected waterways. The national scope of USACE activities means that habitat preservation and restoration projects vary in size and type, while often intersecting spatially with projects under other USACE missions. This intersection can create management challenges that must be resolved. Two USACE initiatives, Engineering With Nature and Regional Sediment Management, explore and implement best practices that combine natural processes and restoration needs with management requirements. This article presents four case studies describing initiatives to 1) design, rehabilitate, and manage infrastructure in alignment with natural processes; 2) manage sediments on a regional scale to support the re-use of material removed from navigation channels for coastal and riverine resiliency, and 3) develop landscape-level plans for waterways management to support conservation efforts. The cumulative effect of multiple efforts to restore functionality lost through anthropogenic alterations and long-term geological change is expected to be a more resilient system at the landscape scale. However, challenges remain in quantifying resilience and the benefits provided by ecosystem services that are affected by management actions.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 734 EP - 743 SN - 15351459 AB - It is hypothesized that slow, shallow water habitats benefit larval pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus; however, testing this hypothesis is difficult, given the low number of larval pallid sturgeon present in large rivers. In contrast, relatively large numbers of age-0 shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus have been sampled, providing a potentially useful baseline to assess the importance of slow, shallow water to age-0 sturgeon of both species (hereafter age-0 sturgeon) in the lower Missouri River. Thus, we investigated the potential relationships between the prevalence of shallow water <1.5 m and the age-0 sturgeon catch rates at multiple scales. Age-0 sturgeon were usually sampled in water >1.5 m, and catch rates were usually highest in the upper half [i.e. river kilometre (RKM) 400 to 800] of the lower Missouri River study area, whereas the availability of water <1.5 m was usually highest in the lower half (i.e. RKM 0 to 400). Similarly, there was no relationship between age-0 sturgeon mean catch-per-unit effort and ha/km of water <1.5 m at any studied scale. Our results may suggest that shallow water, as currently defined, may not be a suitable surrogate for assessing efforts to address pallid sturgeon population declines. However, it is still unknown if lack of appropriate habitat is currently limiting pallid sturgeon. Published 2015. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

While this area has been altered, the New Madrid Floodway and St. John's Bayou account for the only substantial portion of the historic Mississippi River floodplain that remains and provides the only critical connection between backwater/floodplain habitat and the river. Fish passage was evaluated during April-December 2010 using ultrasonic telemetry. Stationary receivers were placed strategically at five locations above and below the structure in St. John's Bayou, in the floodway and the outlet to the Mississippi River. A total of 100 individuals representing 14 species were tagged. Total number of detections during an 8-month period was 1 264 717. Fifteen individuals representing five species moved into the Mississippi and Ohio rivers; seven individuals returned to St. John's Bayou. Thirteen of the 14 species moved upstream through the structure. Of the 85 individuals that stayed in the bayou, 29 fish passed through the structure for a total of 92 passage events. The downstream : upstream passage was roughly 50:50. Passage was correlated with river rise, with frequency of passage being higher in spring, but passage occurred each month during the study.

Continuous data were collected by boat electrofishing opposing shores of a 100-m reach for a total of 480 s. Point data were collected in an adjacent 100-m reach by boat electrofishing for 60 s at four points (240 s total) at 25-m intervals on alternating shorelines. We tested for significant differences between the methods with a linear model for species richness and CPUE (fish/min) and a generalized linear model for species diversity. We also compared the length frequencies of Largemouth BassMicropterus salmoidesbetween methods. We found no difference in diversity between methods but significantly higher species richness (mean = 1.46 species) and significantly lower CPUE (mean = –24.63 fish/min) for continuous electrofishing. We found no difference in Largemouth Bass length frequency between methods, but point electrofishing captured more individuals between 300 and 400 mm. Our results indicate that point electrofishing may be an efficient, effective technique for capturing target species and larger individuals that may otherwise avoid capture. When coupled with continuous electrofishing, point electrofishing may bolster assemblage and population size structure data, particularly in shallow, turbid environments.

Lísal, J. K. Brennan, and W. R. Smith, J. Chem. Phys. 125, 16490 (2006)], a mesoscale simulation technique for studying polymer systems in reaction equilibrium. The RxDPD method combines elements of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC), and is primarily targeted for the prediction of the system composition, thermodynamic properties, and phase behavior of reaction equilibrium polymer systems. The alternative formulation of the RxDPD method is demonstrated by considering a supramolecular diblock copolymer (SDC) melt in which two homopolymers, An and Bm, can reversibly bond at terminal binding sites to form a diblock copolymer, AnBm. We consider the effect of the terminal binding sites and the chemical incompatibility between A- and B-segments on the phase behavior. Both effects are found to strongly influence the resulting phase behavior. Due to the reversible nature of the binding, the SDC melt can be treated as the reaction equilibrium system An+Bm≤=≥AnBm. To simulate the An+Bm≤=≥AnBm melt, the system contains, in addition to full An, Bm, and AnBm polymers, two fractional polymers: one fractional polymer either fAn or fBm, and one fractional polymer fAnBm, which have fractional particles at the ends of the polymer chains. These fractional particles are coupled to the system via a coupling parameter. The time evolution of the system is governed by the DPD equations of motion, accompanied by random changes in the coupling parameter. Random changes in the coupling parameter mimic forward and reverse reaction steps as in the RxMC approach, and they are accepted with a probability derived from...

We correlate the photoluminescence spectra with transitions from the 4F3/2 excited state to the 4I9/2, 4I11/2, and 4I13/2 multiplets of the Nd3+ ion for above and below bandgap excitation, with the strongest emission occurring at 1.12 eV (1106 nm). We determine a splitting of the 4F3/2 excited state to be 4.1 meV. From photoluminescence excitation spectra, we also identify the Stark sublevels of the upper states 4F5/2, 2H9/2, 4F7/2, 4S3/2, 2G7/2, and 4G5/2. Photoluminescence excitation spectra reveal an optimal excitation energy of 1.48 eV (836 nm).

The QD-LEDs have been fabricated over poly(ethylene-terephthalate) substrates and exhibited high brightness, saturated colors, and pronounced flexibility with a critical bending radius of ∼5 mm. The efficiencies of the flexible QD-LEDs are comparable with the devices fabricated on rigid substrates, suggesting the intrinsic flexibility of quantum dot-based optoelectronic devices.

Controlled confinement pressure on the specimen of around 200 MPa was provided by installing a shrink-fit metal sleeve on the lateral surface of the sample disk. Results of measurements of the free surface velocity histories show that prestressing leads to earlier stopping of the failure wave. Thus, the compressive transverse stress increases the failure threshold that is in agreement with existing criteria of compressive fracture. However, sensitivity of the failure threshold to the confinement stress value is not as high as it could be expected. Measurements of the refractive indexes for the particles from the failure wave zone of recovered glass samples have shown their small increase whereas no index change for particles from the residual zone was found. It has been concluded that irreversible densification makes essential contribution to the mechanism of failure of glasses.

Anisotropy of crack growth in the ceramic is illustrated numerically by examining the growth in crack sizes along three orientations. Comparisons with the experimental measurements of the predicted backsurface profile and the damage (cracking) in the ceramic suggest that the model predictions are consistent with the experimental data. Numerical simulation also indicates that a prestress of roughly 2 kbar (200 MPa) compensates for about 1% of initial porosity in the ceramic. A comparison is made to the Rajendran–Grove ceramic model in EPIC which assumes an isotropic crack distribution.

Multiple studies have found that lumbar stabilization programs are superior to generalized programs for patients with chronic low back pain. It is not known if such programs produce objective changes in trunk muscle function with wear of body armor. Hypothesis/Purpose: An eight-week core stability exercise program would result in a larger improvement in physical endurance and abdominal muscle thickness than a control intervention. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an eight-week core stability exercise program on physical endurance and abdominal muscle thickness with and without wear of body armor. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial Methods: Participants (N = 33) were randomized into either the core strengthening exercise group or the control group. Testing included ultrasound imaging of abdominal muscle thickness in hook-lying and standing with and without body armor and timed measures of endurance. Results There were statistically significant group by time interactions for transversus abdominis muscle contraction thickness during standing, both with (p = 0.018) and without body armor (p = 0.038). The main effect for hold-time during the horizontal side-support (p = 0.016) indicated improvement over time regardless of group. There was a significant group by time interaction (p = 0.014) for horizontal side-support hold-time when compliance with the exercise protocol was set at 85%, indicating more improvement in the core stabilization group than in the control group. Conclusion: Performing an eight-week core stabilization exercise program significantly improves transversus abdominis muscle activation in standing and standing with body armor. When compliant with the exercises, such a program may increase trunk strength and muscle endurance.

He was diagnosed with classic juvenile (type III) pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and treated with oral isotretinoin for 6 months. His skin findings resolved quickly during the treatment period, with residual postinflammatory hypopigmentation resolving within a year. PRP is rare in pediatric patients and standard recommended treatment algorithms for this population are not currently available. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for PRP are based almost exclusively on case reports or case series, most of which focus on adult patients. The presentation, evaluation, and management of PRP are discussed.

Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate associations between deployment to Kabul, Afghanistan and subsequent respiratory health among U.S. military personnel. The study population consisted of personnel who deployed to Kabul, select Operation Enduring Freedom locations, personnel stationed in the Republic of Korea, and U.S.-stationed personnel. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated for respiratory symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A significantly elevated rate of symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions was observed among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to personnel deployed or stationed in Bagram (IRR 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.19), Republic of Korea (IRR 1.20; 95% CI, 1.10-1.31), and the United States (IRR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.43-1.62). A statistically elevated rate of asthma was observed among personnel deployed to Kabul, relative to U.S.-stationed personnel (IRR 1.61; 95% CI, 1.22-2.12). Statistically significant rates were not observed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to other study groups. These findings suggest that deployment to Kabul is associated with an elevated risk of postdeployment respiratory symptoms and new-onset asthma.

The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health.

Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

Of special concern are the effects on women serving in direct combat jobs, as well as in any specialties operating in a hostile environment. Drawing on previous research, the model considers and gives examples of how a woman's well-being is affected by events in her military career, her family life, and other areas of life. The article emphasizes the effects of intersections of multiple events, as well as how the effects on well-being are mediated or moderated by other factors, including individual characteristics, military contextual variables, and resources. The analysis also includes the impacts of preventative and treatment interventions, as well as of policies, programs, and practices. Based on the model and on previous research, questions for future research are posed.

This review will focus on a series of nutrients of concern for female Warfighters. Biological function, dietary sources, and requirements will be reviewed, and recommendations for women in combat roles will be provided. Iron, essential for physical and cognitive performance, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements as compared to male Warfighters, as well as declines in iron status that may occur in response to physical activities, such as military training. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health, and should be considered in efforts to prevent stress fractures, which occur with greater frequency in female Warfighters as compared to their male counterparts. Folate, essential for the prevention of neural tube defects during pregnancy and gestation, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements before pregnancy. Providing optimal levels of these nutrients will facilitate readiness as women prepare to serve in combat roles.

However, there are few studies examining group-level influences in the military and none using group-level analyses. Such studies are essential for understanding how to optimally forestall or cease smoking. This study, using mixed effects modelling, examined whether unit membership influenced smoking behavior in soldiers from brigade combat teams. Unit membership was assessed in 2008 to 2009 at the company level (n = 2204) and in 2012 at the platoon level (n = 452). Smoking was assessed by the number of daily cigarettes smoked (range: 0-99) with smoking status (nonsmoker vs. smoker) and smoking level (none, smoker, and heavy [20 + cigarettes/day]) as the outcomes. For both samples, unit membership was not significantly associated with a soldier's propensity to smoke when comparing either all smokers to nonsmokers or heavy smokers to smokers. These results suggest typical military unit-level training programs are unlikely to be the most effective mode of intervention for smoking prevention or cessation. Smoking rates in the military may be influenced instead by small group or individual relationships or by overall military culture.

In this article, we introduce the notion of twisted exponents and show there is a similar relationship between the twisted exponent and the twisted Frobenius–Schur indicators defined in previous work of the authors. In particular, we exhibit a new formula for the twisted indicators and use it to prove periodicity and rationality statements.

Relative stability of the configurations is identified and bandgap tunability is demonstrated through the application of an external, perpendicularly applied electric field. We carefully examine the bandgap's sensitivity to both magnitude of the applied field as well as separation between the graphene and hexagonal boron nitride layers. Features of the band structure are examined and configuration-dependent relationships between the field and bandgap are revealed and elucidated through the atomprojected density of states. These findings suggest the potential for opening and modulating a bandgap in graphene as high as several hundred meV.

The key parts of the system are a conical photophoretic optical trap and a counter-flow coaxial-double-nozzle that concentrates and then slows particles for trapping. This technology should be useful for on-line applications that require monitoring (by single particle analyses) of a series of successively arriving particles (e.g., from the atmosphere or pharmaceutical or other production facilities) where the total sampling time may last from minutes to days, but where each particle must be held for a short time for measurements (e.g., Raman scattering).

All implanted layers were examined using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, and only the 1016 cm-2 Ti implant dose showed evidence of Ti clustering in a microstructure with a pattern of Ti-rich zones. The liquid phase diffusivity and diffusive velocity of Ti in Si were estimated to be 9×10-4 cm²/s and (2+0.5)×104 m/s, respectively. Using these results the morphological stability limit for planar resolidification of Si:Ti was evaluated, and the results indicate that attaining sufficient concentrations of Ti in Si to reach the nominal Mott transition in morphologically stable plane-front solidification should occur only for velocities so high as to exceed the speed limits for crystalline regrowth in Si(111).

JO - BMC Veterinary Research JF - BMC Veterinary Research Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 10 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 23 PB - BioMed Central SN - 17466148 AB - Background Avian influenza viruses may cause severe disease in a variety of domestic animal species worldwide, with high mortality in chickens and turkeys. To reduce the information gap about prevalence of these viruses in animals in Uganda, this study was undertaken. Results Influenza A virus prevalence by RT-PCR was 1.1% (45/4,052) while seroprevalence by ELISA was 0.8% (24/2,970). Virus prevalence was highest in domestic ducks (2.7%, 17/629) and turkeys (2.6%, 2/76), followed by free-living waterfowl (1.3%, 12/929) and swine (1.4%, 7/511). A lower proportion of chicken samples (0.4%, 7/1,865) tested positive. No influenza A virus was isolated. A seasonal prevalence of these viruses in waterfowl was 0.7% (4/561) for the dry and 2.2% (8/368) for the wet season. In poultry, prevalence was 0.2% (2/863) for the dry and 1.4% (24/1,713) for the wet season, while that of swine was 0.0% (0/159) and 2.0% (7/352) in the two seasons, respectively. Of the 45 RT-PCR positive samples, 13 (28.9%) of them were H5 but none was H7. The 19 swine sera positive for influenza antibodies by ELISA were positive for H1 antibodies by HAI assay, but the subtype(s) of ELISA positive poultry sera could not be determined. Antibodies in the poultry sera could have been those against subtypes not included in the HAI test panel. Conclusions The study has demonstrated occurrence of influenza A viruses in animals in Uganda. The results suggest that increase in volumes of migratory waterfowl in the country could be associated with increased prevalence of these viruses in free-living waterfowl and poultry.

One possibility is that this bias results from the spontaneous processing of others' mental states, such as their momentary feelings or more enduring personality characteristics. Here, we use fMRI to test this hypothesis. Participants read a series of stories that described a target's ambiguous behavior in response to a specific social situation and later judged whether that act was attributable to the target's internal dispositions or to external situational factors. Neural regions consistently associated with mental state inference--especially, the medial pFC--strongly predicted whether participants later made dispositional attributions. These results suggest that the spontaneous engagement of mentalizing may underlie the biased tendency to attribute behavior to dispositional over situational forces.

Physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of graphite nanocarbon–impregnated alginate beads (ABGNC) were characterized and compared with those of AB. Co(II) adsorption on ABGNC was quantitatively evaluated by determining kinetics and thermodynamics parameters. The Co(II) adsorption capacity onto ABGNC was highest at neutral pH condition. Increasing the temperature from 288 to 318 K resulted in a 2.5-fold higher Co(II) adsorption onto AB, while thermal dependence of Co(II) adsorption on ABGNC was not found. Kinetic studies showed an applicability of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both AB and ABGNC. Monolayer adsorption was the dominant mechanism of Co(II) adsorption on both AB and ABGNC. Thermodynamic studies revealed that Co(II) adsorption was an endothermic and spontaneous process. Positive values of entropy indicate randomness in solid/aqueous phases, and mean free energy (Ea) fits in the range of chemisorption.

This paper presents the development of an improved sandbar migration model using a phase- and depth-resolving modeling approach. This new model includes interactions between waves and undertow and an empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity formulation that accounts for the phase dependency of turbulence on flow velocity and acceleration. The authors demonstrate through extensive model-data comparisons that these enhancements resulted in significant improvements in the predictive capability of the cross-shore sandbar migration beneath moderate and energetic waves. The comparison showed wave-undertow interaction playing a crucial role in cross-shore sediment transport. Waves increased the undertow-induced suspended-load flux during offshore sandbar migration, and a weak undertow suppressed the wave-induced onshore bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration. The proposed empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity significantly improved the prediction of onshore-directed bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration.

JO - Journal of AOAC International JF - Journal of AOAC International Y1 - 2014/03//Mar/Apr2014 VL - 97 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 307 EP - 315 PB - AOAC International SN - 10603271 AB - Brevetoxins are a family of ladder-frame polyether toxins produced during blooms of the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Consumption of fish exposed to K. brevis blooms can lead to the development of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. The toxic effects of brevetoxins are due to activation of voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs) in cell membranes. Binding of toxins has historically been measured using a radioligand competition assay that is fraught with difficulty. In this study, we developed a novel fluorescence-based binding assay for the brevetoxin receptor. Several fluorophores were conjugated to polyether brevetoxin-2 and used as the labeled ligand. Brevetoxin analogs were able to compete for binding with the fluorescent ligands. This assay was qualified against the standard radioligand receptor assay for the brevetoxin receptor. Furthermore, the fluorescence-based assay was used to determine relative concentrations of toxins in raw extracts of K. brevis culture, and to determine ciguatoxin affinity to site 5 of VSSCs. The fluorescence-based assay was quicker, safer, and far less expensive. As such, this assay can be used to replace the current radioligand assay and will be a vital tool for future experiments examining the binding affinity of various ligands for site 5 on sodium channels.

JO - Wilson Journal of Ornithology JF - Wilson Journal of Ornithology Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 126 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 115 EP - 120 PB - Wilson Ornithological Society SN - 15594491 AB - The last, self-sustaining population of Whooping Cranes (Grus americana), the Aransas-Wood Buffalo population, has overwintered almost exclusively along the Gulf Coast of Texas, USA, in and around the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge during recent decades. In late autumn and winter 2011-2012, Whooping Cranes were observed several hundred kilometers from coastal wintering grounds, with at least 13 Whooping Cranes in central Texas, south-central Kansas, and central Nebraska from November 2011 to early March 2012. Notably, family groups of Whooping Cranes were observed around a Texas reservoir, Granger Lake, over a 3-month period. An extreme drought, coupled with record warm temperatures in the southern and central United States, may have interacted to influence behaviors and distributions of Whooping Cranes during winter 2011-2012. Such observations suggest that Whooping Cranes may be more opportunistic in use of wintering habitat and/or more likely to re-colonize inland historical sites than previously thought. Continued documentation of Whooping Cranes overwintering in areas other than the Texas coast and/or altering timing of migration will be important for protection and management of additional winter habitat as well as for informing population estimates for the Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population of Whooping Cranes.

An indirect band gap for bilayer MoS2 is observed for all variations of strain along the basal plane. Several transitions for the indirect band gap are observed for various strains for the bilayer structure. The variation of the band gap and the carrier effective masses for the holes and the electrons for the bilayer MoS2 structure under conditions of uniaxial strain, biaxial strain, as well as uniaxial stress is investigated.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 9 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 18 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: Bacterial superantigens are virulence factors that cause toxic shock syndrome. Here, the genome-wide, temporal response of mice to lethal intranasal staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) challenge was investigated in six tissues. Results: The earliest responses and largest number of affected genes occurred in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), spleen, and lung tissues with the highest content of both T-cells and monocyte/macrophages, the direct cellular targets of SEB. In contrast, the response of liver, kidney, and heart was delayed and involved fewer genes, but revealed a dominant genetic program that was seen in all 6 tissues. Many of the 85 uniquely annotated transcripts participating in this shared genomic response have not been previously linked to SEB. Nine of the 85 genes were subsequently confirmed by RT-PCR in every tissue/organ at 24 h. These 85 transcripts, up-regulated in all tissues, annotated to the interferon (IFN)/antiviral-response and included genes belonging to the DNA/RNA sensing system, DNA damage repair, the immunoproteasome, and the ER/metabolic stress-response and apoptosis pathways. Overall, this shared program was identified as a type I and II interferon (IFN)-response and the promoters of these genes were highly enriched for IFN regulatory matrices. Several genes whose secreted products induce the IFN pathway were up-regulated at early time points in PBMCs, spleen, and/or lung. Furthermore, IFN regulatory factors including Irf1, Irf7 and Irf8, and Zbp1, a DNA sensor/transcription factor that can directly elicit an IFN innate immune response, participated in this host-wide SEB signature. Conclusion: Global gene-expression changes across multiple organs implicated a host-wide IFN-response in SEB-induced death. Therapies aimed at IFN-associated innate immunity may improve outcome in toxic shock syndromes.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 9 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 13 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Alveolar macrophages (AMs) phagocytose Bacillus anthracis following inhalation and induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines to mediate the activation of innate immunity. Ames, the virulent strain of B. anthracis, contains two plasmids that encode the antiphagocytic poly-γ-d-glutamic acid capsule and the lethal toxin. The attenuated Sterne strain of B. anthracis, which lacks the plasmid encoding capsule, is widely adapted as a vaccine strain. Although differences in the outcome of infection with the two strains may have originated from the presence or absence of an anti-phagocytic capsule, the disease pathogenesis following infection will be manifested via the host responses, which is not well understood. To gain understanding of the host responses at cellular level, a microarray analysis was performed using primary rhesus macaque AMs infected with either Ames or Sterne spores. Notably, 528 human orthologs were identified to be differentially expressed in AMs infected with either strain of the B. anthracis. Meta-analyses revealed genes differentially expressed in response to B. anthracis infection were also induced upon infections with multiple pathogens such as Francisella Novicida or Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests the existence of a common molecular signature in response to pathogen infections. Importantly, the microarray and protein expression data for certain cytokines, chemokines and host factors provide further insights on how cellular processes such as innate immune sensing pathways, anti-apoptosis versus apoptosis may be differentially modulated in response to the virulent or vaccine strain of B. anthracis. The reported differences may account for the marked difference in pathogenicity between these two strains.

The Dynamic Soarer glider programme, catapulted to significance by air force reaction to Sputnik, became the standard bearer for aerospace thought in the late 1950s. Dwight Eisenhower's administration, however, did not see the weaponisation of space as inevitable or desirable. Convinced that public insistence for visible space accomplishments made elimination or cuts to projects politically difficult, Eisenhower's administration used organisational decisions and policy strictures to impede development of the Dyna-Soar and to prevent aerospace paladins from commandeering US space policy.

Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

SN - 08949867 AB - Previous studies have shown that combat exposures and deployment-related stressors have negative implications on soldiers' postdeployment health and well-being. The current study aimed to examine the individual and combined effects of organizational and social support on the success of soldiers' postdeployment reintegration. In this study, 2,922 U.S. soldiers were surveyed from a brigade combat team at 90-120 days postdeployment, measuring soldiers' perceptions of postdeployment transition home, occupational and social support, stigma and barriers associated with accessing behavioral health care, and previous behavioral health care. Logistic regression analysis indicated that soldiers reporting a positive postdeployment transition home ( n = 1,776; 61%) was significantly associated with leadership perceptions, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.02, 1.39], unit cohesion, AOR = 1.29, 95% CI [1.09, 1.53], personal support, AOR = 1.37, 95% CI [1.23, 1.52], perceived levels of stigma, AOR = 0.73, 95% CI [0.65, 0.82] barriers to accessing care, AOR = 0.86, 95% CI [0.76, 0.97], and previously accessing behavioral health care, AOR = 0.34, 95% CI [0.28, 0.43]. These findings suggest redeploying soldiers may benefit from programs aimed at improving self-efficacy and coping through fostering occupational and social support, with special concern taken to reduce stigma and barriers to care across the Army.

The objective is for military medical planners to use this decision-support tool (1) to improve real-time situational awareness by visualization of MEDEVAC coverage, showing which areas can be reached within established timelines; (2) to support medical planning by visualizing the impact of changes in the medical footprint to the MEDEVAC coverage; and (3) to support decision-making by providing a time-sorted list of MEDEVAC asset packages to select from, given the location of the patients. This same geospatial-based decision tool can be used for proper emplacement of evacuation assets such that the theater is covered within a truly representative I -hour response time. We conclude with a discussion of applicability of this tool in medical force structure planning.

The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population.

Weibull strength size scaling revealed a linear relationship on a log-log plot between average flexure strength and effective specimen area for the fine-grained spinel, but a nonlinear relationship for both coarse-grained materials. Initial fractography showed that each material had a single flaw population limiting the strength over the entire specimen size range, which does not account for the nonlinear size scaling relationship in the two coarse-grained materials. However, further fractography revealed that in both materials there was an initial flaw and a critical flaw. The former appears to be machining/polishing damage that started the fracture process while the latter was a cleaved grain in AlON or a cracked grain boundary in the HP/ HIP spinel that lead to fracture of the specimen. The difference between the initial and critical flaw size coupled with a detailed analysis of the strength as a function of test specimen thickness accounted for the nonlinear strength size scaling relationship. As a result, strength values obtained using thin test specimens can lead to an erroneous strength prediction for large components made of these ceramics. The implication of these findings is that strength tests must be conducted using appropriately thick specimens to obtain a representative strength value. If appropriately thick specimens cannot be tested, then fractography must be conducted to determine the flaw size. If the flaw size is sufficiently large, compared with the specimen thickness, then the strength must be adjusted according to a stress field correction factor to obtain a more accurate strength value.

We concentrate on the effect of relative layer fractions and in-plane thermal stresses on dielectric properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3-, BaTiO3-, and PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT)-SrTiO3 (STO) multilayers on Si and c-sapphire. We show that dielectric properties of such multilayers can be significantly enhanced by tailoring the growth/processing temperature and the STO layer fraction. Our computations show that large tunabilities (∼90% at 400 kV/cm) are possible in carefully designed barium strontium titanate-STO and PZT-STO even on Si for which there exist substantially large in-plane strains.

Comparisons between these recent experimental results and results of numerical simulations of the ground shock propagation in soil are presented. It was found that the coupling factor curve currently adopted in design of buried structures does not accurately represent the actual ground shock propagation in soil and that different coupling factor curves are needed for different physical quantities of interest in design. The results presented in this paper also suggest that the coupling factor curves are functions of several parameters in addition to the depth of burial and that numerical simulations can capture reasonably well the ground shock propagation of soil stresses and particle velocities.

As the cracks propagate, the natural frequency lowers, leading to a changing stress state. A new method has been developed where the damage accumulation rate is computed in the frequency domain using Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM), stress intensity, and the natural frequency. A finite element model was developed to predict the stress intensity and natural frequency during damage accumulation. Validation of the LEFM technique was done through comparison to experimental data. Reasonably good correlations between the FEM and the analytic model were achieved for the stress intensity and natural frequency.

In 2010-2011 we located nesting ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata) in a large group of radio-tagged animals. To minimize search efforts, we investigated whether automated radio telemetry and the signal change method could be used to identify nesting activity before locating animals. The signal change method relies on the principle that any movement of a radio transmitter, including minor changes in orientation, can strongly affect the intensity of the transmitter's signal at a stationary receiving station. Using video recordings of free-ranging radio-tagged turtles, we confirmed that transmitter signal strength values can be analyzed to identify periods of box turtle activity. Early in the 2010 nesting season, automated telemetry observations indicated that some females engaged in nocturnal activity. Previous reports indicate that ornate box turtles often nest at night but are otherwise inactive after dark. Based upon this information and relatively little indication of nocturnal activity by males, we hypothesized that nocturnal activity corresponded to nesting. We subsequently monitored female nighttime activity in near real time, hand-tracked four night-active individuals, and found three of these turtles nesting. In 2011 we again selectively hand-tracked night-active females and located nests for 12 of 18 study animals, which approximates the expected annual reproductive rate for our population. We demonstrate that the signal change method can be used to identify nesting activity in ornate box turtles and suggest this method may be of use in other species that nest outside of their normal activity periods.

Seventy specimens collected between 2001 and 2010 (99%: 2006-2010) were dissected and gut contents analyzed. The macrohabitats and habits associated with sturgeon prey items (primarily benthic macroinvertebrates) were used to make inferences about habitat use by young-of-year river stnrgeon. These findings indicate that young river sturgeon inhabiting the Lower Mississippi River feed primarily over sandy benthos, most likely in channel habitats. The majority of prey items (64.0%) consumed by young-of-year river sturgeon belong to a single subgroup of Chironomidae (Diptera: Chironominae: Harnischia complex) of which several genera, including Chernovskiia, Cryptochironomus, Gillotia, Paracladopelma, Robackia, and Saetheria, are known to be primary inhabitants of this macrohabitat.

None were to be engineered to share energy resources with neighboring structures. After the initial planning for the CAB, the US Army named Fort Carson as one of eight pilot net zero installations for energy use as a part of the Army's overall effort to conserve resources. Fort Carson's goal for the CAB complex at Butts Army Airfield consequently became the construction of a "net zero ready" community of buildings designed to optimize energy performance, water conservation, and waste diversion. The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) conducted a study to assess the potential for synergy between CAB facilities energy needs and the feasibility of building a Central Energy Plant (CEP) that would produce hot and chilled water to be used for heating and cooling throughout the CAB complex, and that could also generate electricity through cogeneration. This paper describes the results of the study and different alternatives considered, as well as energy requirements and specific technologies that have been applied to this new generation of buildings.

JO - ASHRAE Transactions JF - ASHRAE Transactions Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 120 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 130 EP - 144 PB - ASHRAE SN - 00012505 AB - The increasing world-wide emphasis on net zero (NZ) or low-energy communities (LECs) has brought with it a concomitant requirement for high quality technical analysis and optimization to support planners. The authors' experience in energy planning for military installations has identified best practice processes as well as common analysis tasks performed by LEC planners. Requirements for data collection, modeling, optimization, and organization of inputs and results are significant, leading to higher cost, long study times, and limits on the number of alternative scenarios that can feasibly be considered. In addition, changes in data or scope can lead to considerable rework, leading to further delay and potential for the introduction of errors. This paper describes a computational framework and reference implementation for LEC analysis and optimization designed to automate many of the repetitive and time-consuming organizational, modeling, and optimization tasks involved in LEC planning. The framework incorporates whole building simulation, community-wide optimization of distribution and supply, geospatial data, and an overall approach to data organization that permits implementers to use their choice of modeling software. A reference implementation of the framework, the NZ planner was developed and tested at four Department of Defense installations. Results show decreased time to set up studies and to conduct simulations and optimization. This paper provides examples and discusses trade-offs between process steps that should be automated and those that are more appropriate for human judgment and experience.

JO - ASHRAE Transactions JF - ASHRAE Transactions Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 120 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 114 EP - 129 PB - ASHRAE SN - 00012505 AB - The influence of increasing oil prices, the effects of climate change, and the desire to become independent of fossil fuel imports have stimulated many countries and their communities to set ambitious goals to reduce energy use and to increase the relative amount of energy derived from renewable energy sources. The most ambitious goal is to become net-zero relative to fossil fuels or to employ the concept of the energy neutral community/campus. Essentially, both terms denote an energy configuration in which the amount of fossil fuel-based energy used over the course of a year is equal to the amount of energy derived from renewable energy sources that is exported from the community/campus to a power or thermal grid for external users' consumption. Under ideal circumstances, the community consumes no fossil fuel-based energy, only energy generated from renewable sources; this would require the availability of long-term thermal and power storage systems. The achievement of such energy goals in economical and physically realistic ways would require new, unconventional approaches with respect to organization, implementation, funding, and technical decisions. The technical approach involves the emphasis on energy conservation, implementation of energy efficiency measures, use of waste energy streams, reduction of fossil fuel-based energy (if needed), and/or complementation or replacement of fossil fuel-based energy with energy derived from renewable sources. This paper explores approaches used by some of the most innovative International Energy Agency (IEA) countries to develop an ideal road map and transition process to reach net-zero or near net-zero energy targets; analyzes best practices in different countries to provide the best examples of net-zero applications across the globe; and, based on an analysis of solutions using front-running methods and technologies, makes recommendations for energy master planning towards net-zero communities and campuses.

Paving materials and equipment can be scarce in expeditionary environments, so the use of bricks recycled from existing infrastructure may provide a local resource for constructing pavements suitable for meeting the military's mission requirements. The field testing documented in this paper follows a laboratory study in which a series of strength and characterization tests were conducted on selected face bricks and brick pavers. The success of the laboratory testing led to the full-scale field evaluation of the face and paver bricks trafficked with a commercial dump truck load of approximately 24.5 t and then trafficked with a 20.4 t single-wheel C-17 aircraft load cart. The field testing indicated brick-paved roads constructed with a moderately high-strength base are capable of sustaining more than 10 000 passes of truck traffic without failure. The same brick-paved roads were not capable of withstanding C-17 aircraft traffic. Further results from the evaluation are presented and include material characterization test data, rut depth measurements, wheel path and cross-section profile measurements, instrumentation response data, and forensic assessments.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 1573 M3 - Article SP - 357 EP - 364 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center has developed a very lightweight cryocooler for tactical and space cooling applications. A prototype pulse tube cryocooler was built and tested, utilizing a new microcompressor with a mass of less than 200 grams. The "Oxford type" compressor uses the same long-life features of Lockheed Martin's larger compressors: long-life flexure-bearing clearance-seal technology, with a simple moving magnet configuration designed both for low-cost tactical applications and for long-life space applications. The compressor operated flawlessly with electrical input power as high as 25 W. Test data will be presented for the prototype single-stage pulse tube cooler. Predictions for the cooling capability of optimized coldheads under a variety of cold tip temperatures and heat loads will also be presented. A first-article microcryocooler with an optimized coldhead is slated to be integrated into a highperformance infrared (IR) camera system by the end of 2013.

The incidences of overuse injuries and attrition of 85male and 235 female recruits in a light infantry brigade was followed in a three year prospective study. Females were shorter (162 cm, CI 161-163 cm) than males (174 cm, CI 173-176), had more body fat (18.9 kg, CI 18.2-19.6 kg) than males (12.6 kg, 11.3-13.8 kg), had lower VO2max (36.8mL·min-1·kg-1, CI 35.8-37.78mL·min-1·kg-1) than males (50.48mL·min-1·kg-1, CI 48.4 to 52.48mL·min-1·kg-1), had more stress fractures (21.0%, 95% CI 16.2-26.5%) than males (2.3%, CI 0.3-8.2%), and had more anterior knee pain (41.2%, CI 34.9-47.7%) than males (24.7%, CI 16.0-35.2%).Three-year attrition was 28% CI 22-34% for females and 37% CI 26-48% for males. The females in this study successfully served as light infantry soldiers. Their lower fitness and high incidence of overuse injuries might impede service as regular infantry soldiers.

There is a question whether IO-administered epinephrine is equivalent to intravenously administered epinephrine during CA. Methods: The question guiding this evidence-based review was as follows: in adults suffering CA given epinephrine via the 10 route, what is the resulting serum concentration of the drug compared to when administered intravenously? A search was conducted and the evidence appraised and leveled. Results: Four animal studies met the inclusion criteria. The sources showed no definitive evidence supporting equivalence between intravenous and 10 epinephrine administered during CA. Intravenously administered epinephrine provides increased and faster appearing serum concentrations than IO-administered epinephrine. Evidence indicated epinephrine given via the sternal 10 route more closely approaches equivalence with intravenously administered epinephrine than when administered by the tibial 10 route. Conclusions: The clinician should consider using proximal 10 infusion sites such as the sternum or humérus when administering advanced cardiac life support drugs to rapidly achieve maximal therapeutic concentrations. Further studies are needed to determine the differences seen when epinephrine is administered by these routes during CA.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 179 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 91 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The dose-response relationship between biomechanical variables and the magnitude of external loads is unclear. The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass.

For example, rules for predicting the surface chemistry of agents can be applied to the creation of next generation decontaminants, reactive coatings, and protective materials for the warfighter. Here, we describe a multifunctional ultra-high vacuum instrument for conducting comprehensive studies of the adsorption, desorption, and surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents on model and militarily relevant surfaces. The system applies reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry to study adsorption and surface reactions of chemical warfare agents. Several novel components have been developed to address the unique safety and sample exposure challenges that accompany the research of these toxic, often very low vapor pressure, compounds. While results of vacuum-based surface science techniques may not necessarily translate directly to environmental processes, learning about the fundamental chemistry will begin to inform scientists about the critical aspects that impact real-world applications.

The aircraft was sized for a 6600-lb payload and a range of 300 nm. The rotor planform and twist were optimized for hover and cruise performance. For the present rotor performance calculations, the collective pitch angle is progressively increased up to and through stall with the shaft angle set to zero. The effects of lift offset on rotor lift, power, controls, and blade airloads and structural loads are examined. The maximum lift capability of the coaxial rotor increases as lift offset increases and extends well beyond the McHugh lift boundary as the lift potential of the advancing blades are fully realized. A parametric study is conducted to examine the differences between the present coaxial rotor and the McHugh rotor in terms of maximum lift capabilities and to identify important design parameters that define the maximum lift capability of the rotor. The effects of lift offset on rotor blade airloads and structural loads are also investigated. Flap bending moment increases substantially as lift offset increases to carry the hub roll moment even at low collective values. The magnitude of flap bending moment is dictated by the lift-offset value (hub roll moment) but is less sensitive to collective and speed.

However, the relevance and merit of these credentials can be difficult to determine objectively. Board certification can be a reliable indicator of proficiency if the certifying organization demonstrates, through regularly scheduled independent review, that its processes meet established standards and when a certificate holder is required to periodically demonstrate command of a body of knowledge that is essential to current professional practice. Objective: We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. Discussion: An examination is the most commonly used instrument for testing a certification candidate’s command of the body of knowledge. However, an examination-based certification is only creditable when the body of knowledge, to which a certification examination tests, is representative of the current knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to effectively practice at the professional level. Thus, that body of knowledge must be the current “Standard of Knowledge” for the profession, compiled in a transparent fashion from current practitioners of the profession. Conclusion: This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

As such, it is critical to determine if performance on the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is adversely affected by operationally-relevant field environments. Differences in DANA performance between a thermoneutral environment and three simulated operationally-relevant field environments across the thermal stress continuum were calculated for 16 healthy U.S. Navy service members. Practice effects associated with brief test-retest intervals were calculated within each environmental condition. There were no significant differences between the simulated environmental conditions suggesting that performance on the DANA Brief is not impacted by thermal stress.

These data complement randomized controlled trials indicating that platelet-containing blood products stored at 4 °C have superior hemostatic function, compared with platelet-containing blood products at 22 °C. Whole blood is rarely available in civilian hospitals and, thus, is rarely transfused into patients with hemorrhagic shock. Misconceptions that whole blood must be ABO specific, that whole blood cannot be leukoreduced and maintain platelets, and that cold storage causes loss of platelet function have limited its availability. Understanding that these barriers are not insurmountable will improve the availability of whole blood and facilitate its use. In addition, there are logistical advantages of whole-blood-based resuscitation, as compared with component therapy, for hemorrhagic shock.Summary: Low titer Group O whole blood stored for up to 21 days at 4 °C merits further study to compare its efficacy and safety with current resuscitation approaches for patients with life-threatening bleeding.

SP - 61 EP - 65 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 181 IS - 11 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Introduction: Service members with traumatic amputations may be at an increased risk of elevated core body temperature, since their ability to dissipate heat may decrease with the reduction in body surface area (BSA) after injury. Elevated core temperature can impair physical performance during combat operations potentially putting the service members and their teams at risk. The purpose of this study was to compare core temperature between individuals with and without amputations during a prolonged endurance event.Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male military service members (10 with amputations, 10 without) participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March 26.2-mile event on March 27, 2011. Data collected include BSA, body mass index, body composition, body weight before and after the event, core temperature during the event, and postevent hydration status. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body weight was measured by digital scale. Core temperature was measured by ingestible sensor. Hydration was measured by urine specific gravity. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved this study and participants provided written informed consent.Results: Three participants' data were not included in the analyses. No significant differences in core temperature were found between participants in both groups, and no correlation was found between core temperature and either BSA or hydration status. There was no significant difference in maximal core temperature between the groups (p = 0.27). Nearly all participants (8 control, 6 amputation) reached 38.3°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat exhaustion. No subjects reached 40.0°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat stroke. Time spent above the 38.3°C threshold was not significantly different between groups, but varied widely by participant in relation to the duration of the event. Participants without amputations finished the event faster than participants with amputations (7.9 ± 1.4 vs. 9.6 ± 0.96, p < 0.01), possibly indicating that participants with amputations self-selected a slower pace to attenuate increased core temperature.Conclusion: Until conclusive evidence is accumulated, it is prudent for military leaders, trainers, and military service members to closely monitor this population during physical activity to prevent heat injuries.

The center supports comprehensive research projects to optimize treatment strategies and promote the successful return to duty and community reintegration of injured service members. The center also provides a unique platform for fostering innovative research and incorporating clinical/technical advances in the rehabilitative care for service members. CRSR is composed of four research focus areas: (1) identifying barriers to successful rehabilitation and reintegration, (2) improving pain management strategies to promote full participation in rehabilitation programs, (3) applying novel technologies to advance rehabilitation methods and enhance outcome assessments, and (4) transferring new technology to improve functional capacity, independence, and quality of life. Each of these research focus areas works synergistically to influence the quality of life for injured service members. The purpose of this overview is to highlight the clinical research efforts of CRSR, namely how this organization engages a broad group of interdisciplinary investigators from medicine, biology, engineering, anthropology, and physiology to help solve clinically relevant problems for our service members, veterans, and their families.

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted utilizing prospective interviews with standard survey instruments. Primary outcome measures were the Stoma Quality of Life Scale and Veterans RAND 36 scores and subjective responses. Patients with colorectal trauma not requiring ostomy served as controls.Results: Of 177 available patients, 90 (50.8%) male veterans consented to participate (55 ostomy, 35 control). No significant differences were observed between ostomy and control groups for Injury Severity Score (25.6 ± 9.9 vs. 22.9 ± 11.8, p = 0.26) or mechanism of injury (blast: 55 vs. 52%, p = 0.75); nonostomates had fewer anorectal injuries (3.2 vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). Median follow-up was 6.7 years. Veterans RAND-36 Physical and Mental Component Scores were similar between groups. About 45.8% of ostomates were willing-to-trade a median of 10 years (interquartile range = 5-15) of their remaining life for gastrointestinal continuity. At last follow-up, 95.9% of respondents' combat-related ostomies were reversed with a median duration of 6 (range = 3-19) months diverted.Conclusions: Ostomy creation in a combat environment remains safe and does not have a quantifiable impact on long-term quality of life.

SP - e1637 EP - e1643 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 181 IS - 11 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Background: Reorganization of the Army and critical assessment of Army Graduate Medical Education programs prompted the Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) Consultant to the Army Surgeon General to initiate a review of current Army OEM residency training. Available information indicated the Army OEM residency at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, was the first and longest operating Army OEM residency. Describing this residency was identified as the first step in the review, with the objectives of determining why the residency was started and sustained and its relevance to the needs of the Army.Methods: Records possibly related to the residency were reviewed, starting with 1954 since certification of physicians as Occupation Medicine specialists began in 1955. Interviews were conducted with selected physicians who had strong affiliations with the Army residency and the practice of Army OEM.Findings: The Army OEM residency began in 1960 and closed in 1996 with the transfer of Army OEM residency training to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD. Over 36 years, 47 uniformed residency graduates were identified; 44 were from the Army. Forty graduated between 1982 and 1996. The OEM residency was part of a dynamic cycle. Uniformed OEM leaders identified the knowledge and skills required of military OEM physicians and where these people should be stationed in the global Army. Rotations at military sites to acquire the needed knowledge and skills were integrated into the residency. Residency graduates were assigned to positions where they were needed. Having uniformed residents and preceptors facilitated the development of trust with military leaders and access to areas where OEM physician skills and knowledge could have a positive impact. Early reports indicated the residency was important in recruiting and retaining OEM physicians, with emphasis placed on supporting the Army industrial base. The late 1970s into the 1990s was a more dynamic period. There was heightened interest in environmental protection and restoration of military installations, and in the threats posed by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Additionally, President Reagan initiated a military buildup that brought new health risks to soldiers who would use and maintain modern equipment. Army OEM physicians were required to possess competencies in many areas, to include depots in the Army industrial base, occupational health for the soldier for exposures like carbon monoxide in armored vehicles, military unique exposures like those from chemical threat agents, and environmental medicine to assess health risks on contaminated U.S. military sites and from exposures of deployed forces. These offered interesting OEM training opportunities that challenged residents in the program and helped recruit new residents.Discussion: The strength of the first Army OEM residency was that it was part of a dynamic cycle that consisted of identifying and defining Army OEM needs, training physicians to meet those needs and assigning residency graduates to positions where they would have a positive impact. This paradigm can be used as the basis for contemporary assessments of the Army's need for uniformed OEM physicians and a uniformed OEM residency program.

The evidence is unclear on which management approaches are most effective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lumbar extensor high-intensity progressive resistance exercise (HIPRE) training versus control on improving lumbar extension muscular strength and core muscular endurance in soldiers.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with active duty U.S. Army Soldiers (n = 582) in combat medic training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Soldiers were randomized by platoon to receive the experimental intervention (lumbar extensor HIPRE training, n = 298) or control intervention (core stabilization exercise training, n = 284) at one set, one time per week, for 11 weeks. Lumbar extension muscular strength and core muscular endurance were assessed before and after the intervention period.Results: At 11-week follow-up, lumbar extension muscular strength was 9.7% greater (p = 0.001) for HIPRE compared with control. No improvements in core muscular endurance were observed for HIPRE or control.Conclusions: Lumbar extensor HIPRE training is effective to improve isometric lumbar extension muscular strength in U.S. Army Soldiers. Research is needed to explore the clinical relevance of these gains.

SP - e1499 EP - e1507 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 181 IS - 11 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Human performance enhancement was the subject of a NATO workshop that considered the direct benefits of individual soldier health and fitness habits to brain health and performance. Some of the important health and fitness include physical activity and purposeful exercise, nutritional intake, sleep and rest behaviors, psychological outlook and mindfulness, and other physiologically based systemic challenges such as thermal exposure. These influences were considered in an integrated framework with insights contributed by each of five participating NATO member countries using representative research to highlight relevant interrelationships. Key conclusions are that (1) understanding the neurobiological bases and consequences of personal health behaviors is a priority for soldier performance research, and this also involves long-term brain health consequences to veterans and (2) health and fitness habits have been underappreciated as reliably effective performance enhancers and these should be preferred targets in the development of scientifically based recommendations for soldier brain health and performance.

Before deployment, participants completed performance testing and surveys and after deployment an additional survey detailing occupational demands and MSI. Data analyzed found 57/160 (36%) suffered 78 MSI. In unadjusted analyses, these factors increased the relative risk (RR, 95% confidence interval) of injury: wearing an average load >10% body weight (BW) (RR = 2.00, 1.31-4.57), wearing an average load >1 hour (RR = 2.44, 1.30-4.57), heaviest load worn >15% BW (RR = 5.83, 1.51-22.50), wearing a backpack (RR = 1.82, 1.23-2.80), wearing body armor >1 hour (RR = 1.62, 1.002-2.62), lifting objects weighing above 22.68 kg (RR = 1.96, 1.08-3.57), lifting objects one to two times (RR = 1.73, 1.002-2.97), carrying objects >7.62 m (RR = 2.01, 1.19-3.42), and Y Balance composite score <95.23 (RR = 1.71, 1.13-2.60). The best logistic regression model predicting MSI was average load as % BW (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04, 1.01-1.07), heaviest load as % BW (OR = 1.03, 1.01-1.05), average repetitions lifting objects (OR = 1.07, 1.01-1.14), and sit-ups (OR = 0.93, 0.93-0.99). Results indicate that risk of MSI in deployed female soldiers increased with heavier equipment worn and more repetitious lifting, although more performing more sit-ups on the fitness test before deployment reduced the risk.

The performance of chest seals to prevent tension physiology depends partially on their ability to adhere to the skin and seal the chest wound. Novel non-occlusive vented chest seals were assessed for their adhesiveness on skin of live swine under normal and extreme environmental conditions to simulate austere battlefield conditions.Methods: Chest seals were applied on the back of the swine on skin that was soiled by various environmental contaminants to represent battlefield situations. A peeling (horizontal rim peeling) and detachment and breaching (vertical pulling) techniques were used to quantify the adhesive performance of vented chest seals. Among eight initially selected vented seals, five (Bolin, Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) were further down-selected based on their superior adherence scores at ambient temperatures. The adherence of these seals was then assessed after approximately 17h storage at extreme cold (-19.5°C) and hot (71.5°C) temperatures.Results: Adherence scores for peeling (above 90%) and detachment scores (less than 25%) were comparable for four vented chest seals when tested at ambient temperature, except for the Bolin seal which had higher breaching. Under extreme storage temperatures, adherence peeling scores were comparable to those at ambient temperatures for four chest seals. Scores were significantly lower for the Bolin seal at extreme temperatures. This seal also had the highest detachment and breaching scores. In contrast, the Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM seals showed similar ability to stay air tight without breaching after hot storage.Conclusion: No significant difference was found in skin adherence of the five vented chest seals at ambient temperature and the four seals (Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) maintained superior adherence even after exposure to extreme temperatures compared to the Bolin. To select the most effective product from the 5 selected vented chest seals, further functional evaluation of the valve of these chest seals on a chest wound with the potential for tension in the pneumothorax or hemopneumothorax is warranted.

However, in the more recent conflicts over the past two decades, their role in health care delivery as a component of medical stability operations has been largely undefined. The purpose of this study was to explore the types of missions supported by U.S. military dietitians and characterize any unique competencies critical to their success during these missions using an online questionnaire. Sixty-five military dietitians responded to an online questionnaire and 49 (75%) shared their deployment experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations for future training based on 57 deployments from 1975 to 2014. Results indicated that during these deployments nutrition- and dietetics-related competencies were capitalized along with staff positions in support of combat and humanitarian operations. The majority (n = 24; 51%) valued mentorship as a useful resource before deployments followed by field experience (45%) and Web-based training (43%). The authors propose standardized formal training for military dietitians aimed at increasing strategic level awareness of partnerships and collaborations between U.S. Government and interagency organizations; these associations are vital for sustained synchronization of global health efforts.

Increasing prescription drug misuse and poisonings translate into greater utilization of medical resources. Our objective was to describe the incidences of overdoses and their associated events and outcomes following emergency department consult.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on cases evaluated in 2 military hospital emergency departments over 3 years. Subjects were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision codes 960-970. Variables collected included demographics, military service, method of arrival, vital signs, clinical complications, and hospital admission, if overdose was documented as intentional or unintentional and drug ingested.Results: Over 3 years, 342 overdoses were treated. Mean age was 35 ± 19 and gender was 53% female. 47% were active duty and 32% were dependents. 21% of overdoses involved benzodiazepines and 20% opioids. Active duty and benzodiazepine overdoses were more likely to arrive by ambulance (p = 0.0006, p = 0.03), were more likely to have overdosed intentionally (p = 0.02, p = 0.009), and were more likely to be admitted (p = 0.04, p = 0.007). Active duty had a longer length of stay (p = 0.02).Conclusion: Overdoses involving the active duty population and benzodiazepines consume greater military health care resources than other overdoses.

We conducted a secondary analysis of data extracted from two studies on the basis of retrospective reviews of behavioral health records of soldiers deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Of 162 clinical samples, 135 (83%) reported at least one type of childhood adversity. ACE scores ranged from 0 to 9 with a mean of 3 (standard deviation = 2.4) and mode of 0. A total of 65 (40%) experienced four or more ACEs. Parental divorce or separation was the most frequently reported childhood experience and was associated with witnessing domestic violence, having a member of the household abuse substances, and being physically and psychologically abused as a child. A sizeable proportion lived with a household member who had been in prison. Soldiers with an extensive history of ACEs may benefit from additional mentoring from frontline leaders and prevention measures instituted by unit behavioral health personnel.

Understanding baseline measures for normal is an important first step.Objectives: Determine differences in physical performance assessments and describe normative values for these tests based on military unit type.Methods: Assessment of power, balance, mobility, motor control, and performance on the Army Physical Fitness Test were assessed in a cohort of 1,466 soldiers. Analysis of variance was performed to compare the results based on military unit type (Rangers, Combat, Combat Service, and Combat Service Support) and analysis of covariance was performed to determine the influence of age and gender.Results: Rangers performed the best on all performance and fitness measures (p < 0.05). Combat soldiers performed better than Combat Service and Service Support soldiers on several physical performance tests and the Army Physical Fitness Test (p < 0.05). Performance in Combat Service and Service Support soldiers was equivalent on most measures (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Functional performance and level of fitness varied significantly by military unit type. Understanding these differences will provide a foundation for future injury prediction and prevention strategies.

However, barriers to implementation are many, including the complexity of interpreting conflicting evidence as well as difficulties in accessing it. Furthermore, many proponents of evidence-based care seem to assume that good evidence consistently exists and that clinicians can and will objectively evaluate data so as to apply the best evidence to individual patients' needs. The authors argue that these shortcomings may mislead many clinicians and that students should be adequately prepared to cope with some of the more complex issues surrounding evidence-based practice. Cognitive biases and heuristics shape every aspect of our lives, including our professional behavior. This article reviews literature from medicine, psychology, and behavioral economics to explore the barriers to implementing evidence-based dentistry. Internal factors include biases that affect clinical decision making: hindsight bias, optimism bias, survivor bias, and blind-spot bias. External factors include publication bias, corporate bias, and lack of transparency that may skew the available evidence in the peer-reviewed literature. Raising awareness of how these biases exert subtle influence on decision making and patient care can lead to a more nuanced discussion of addressing and overcoming barriers to evidence-based practice.

Specifically, we argue that followers' idiosyncratic desires for, and perceptions of, leader sensitivity behaviors play a key role in how followers react to their leader's sensitivity. Moreover, these resulting affective experiences are likely to have important consequences for organizations, specifically as they relate to employee counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Drawing from supplies-values (S-V) fit theory and the stressor-emotion model of CWB, the current study focuses on the affective and behavioral consequences of fit between subordinates' ideal leader sensitivity behavior preferences and subordinates' perceptions of their actual leader's sensitivity behaviors. Polynomial regression analyses reveal that congruence between ideal and actual leader sensitivity influences employee negative affect and, consequently, engagement in counterproductive work behavior.

In the United States, an interagency committee was formed to facilitate implementation of quality practices for federally funded restoration projects in the Great Lakes basin. The Committee's responsibilities include developing a guidance document that will provide a common approach to the application of quality assurance and quality control ( QA/ QC) practices for restoration projects. The document will serve as a 'how-to' guide for ensuring data quality during each aspect of ecological restoration projects. In addition, the document will provide suggestions on linking QA/ QC data with the routine project data and hints on creating detailed supporting documentation. Finally, the document will advocate integrating all components of the project, including QA/ QC applications, into an overarching decision-support framework. The guidance document is expected to be released by the U.S. EPA Great Lakes National Program Office in 2017.

SN - 15351459 AB - The Missouri River has been extensively altered as the result of channelization, bank stabilization, and the construction of six main stem reservoirs. In response to the resultant habitat loss, the US Army Corps of Engineers was tasked with restoring approximately 8100 ha of shallow water habitat (SWH), in part, for the benefit of the endangered pallid sturgeon ( Scaphirhynchus albus). Construction of off-channel habitats involves the removal and disposal of excavated alluvium either by direct discharge into the river or by secondary erosion, which raised concerns regarding the introduction of sediment and associated nutrients into the Missouri River. Soils from nine side-channel chutes were sampled to represent nutrient concentrations from habitat restoration activities. Soils from 12 historically undisturbed sites were also sampled to represent reference conditions in the Missouri River flood plain. The results of this study indicate that nutrient characteristics of soils from selected SWH locations generally are similar to those of historically undisturbed soils. The estimated mass of total phosphorus from chutes accounted for 1.9% of Missouri River and 0.5% of Mississippi River total phosphorus loads during the 1993-2012 analysis period. The mass of nitrate, the constituent most closely related to gulf hypoxia, was 0.01% or less of the Missouri and Mississippi River nitrate loads. Sediment volumes from the chutes accounted for 3.1 and 1.5% of total suspended loads from the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Overall, the introduced sediment from side-channel chute construction associated with SWH restoration accounts for a small portion of total nutrient and sediment transport in the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.

It is a communications tool and contributes in the early stages of planning by formalizing ideas and expert knowledge into a structure easily visualized and considered in more detailed analytical tools. Applying RPT helps organize and focus group conversations that seek to create consensus-based alternatives for water management.

However, the new paradigm of U.S. military contingency operations requires a strategic vision beyond merely engaging the enemy. American military commanders in the 21st century must also seek to win the hearts and minds of a local population in order to solidify gains and ensure a lasting victory. Unfortunately, many commanders have not adapted to this new way of thinking. As a result, commanders fail to consider the long-term environmental damage inflicted by their soldiers during combat operations, damage which must be borne by the civilian population. Such damage includes hidden unexploded ordnance hazards, depleted uranium, and other hazardous waste generated by the day-to-day operations of U.S. military personnel deployed to contingency environments. Though conmianders claim exigent circumstances prohibit them from implementing environmental controls, the long-term nature of current U.S. occupation-up to thirteen years-undeimines these excuses. In fact, the U.S. military has a robust collection of policies, regulations, and personnel, which could be modified to limit the amount of damage caused by military deployments. This Article examines the existing hazards in contingency environments and the collection of U.S. military regulations, which apply to "enduring" bases, and those in the Continental United States. Additionally, it surveys the international laws regarding environmental destruction currently applicable to US. deployments, as well as what methods of recourse citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan have to address environmental damage caused by the US. military. Finally, it proposes solutions to deal with gaps in U.S. and international law and policy in order to prevent and mediate environmental damage caused by U.S. contingency operations and provides methods of recourse by citizens of countries hosting military deployments.

JO - Hydrology & Earth System Sciences JF - Hydrology & Earth System Sciences Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 209 EP - 223 PB - Copernicus Gesellschaft mbH SN - 10275606 AB - We present a community data set of daily forcing and hydrologic response data for 671 small- to medium-sized basins across the contiguous United States (median basin size of 336 km²) that spans a very wide range of hydroclimatic conditions. Area-averaged forcing data for the period 1980-2010 was generated for three basin spatial configurations-basin mean, hydrologic response units (HRUs) and elevation bands-by mapping daily, gridded meteorological data sets to the subbasin (Daymet) and basin polygons (Daymet, Maurer and NLDAS). Daily streamflow data was compiled from the United States Geological Survey National Water Information System. The focus of this paper is to (1) present the data set for community use and (2) provide a model performance benchmark using the coupled Snow-17 snow model and the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting Model, calibrated using the shuffled complex evolution global optimization routine. After optimization minimizing daily root mean squared error, 90% of the basins have Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency scores ≥ 0.55 for the calibration period and 34% ≥ 0.8. This benchmark provides a reference level of hydrologic model performance for a commonly used model and calibration system, and highlights some regional variations in model performance. For example, basins with a more pronounced seasonal cycle generally have a negative low flow bias, while basins with a smaller seasonal cycle have a positive low flow bias. Finally, we find that data points with extreme error (defined as individual days with a high fraction of total error) are more common in arid basins with limited snow and, for a given aridity, fewer extreme error days are present as the basin snow water equivalent increases.

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2008/02/21/ VL - 128 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 074705 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - We determined the shifts in the energy levels of ∼15 nm thick poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] films deposited on various substrates including self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified Au surfaces using photoelectron spectroscopy. As the unmodified substrates included Au, indium tin oxide, Si (with native oxide), and Al (with native oxide), a systematic shift in the detected energy levels of the organic semiconductor was observed to follow the work function values of the substrates. Furthermore, we used polar SAMs to alter the work function of the Au substrates. This suggests the opportunity to control the energy level positions of the organic semiconductor with respect to the electrode Fermi level. Photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that, by introducing SAMs on the Au surface, we successfully increased and decreased the effective work function of Au surface. We found that in this case, the change in the effective work function of the metal surface was not reflected as a shift in the energy levels of the organic semiconductor, as opposed to the results achieved with different substrate materials. Our study showed that when a substrate is modified by SAMs (or similarly by any adsorbed molecules), a new effective work function value is achieved; however, it does not necessarily imply that the new modified surface will behave similar to a different metal where the work function is equal to the effective work function of the modified surface. Various models and their possible contribution to this result are discussed.

The evidence is based on the correlation between TRC and the transient electric-field-induced second harmonic generation change signals, which have been measured simultaneously. The TRC signal is induced through the second- and third-order nonlinearities by the interfacial dc electric fields originating from the charge separation of pump-excited carriers among the layers. The effect of the interface type between GaSb and InAs layers on the interfacial field strength was analyzed.

Either pure or mixed oxides of Si and Ge were grown. All oxides were grown in situ in a Scienta ESCA-300 system designed for oxidation. Angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was the principal tool in assessing interfacial chemistry. The sub-bonded species of both Si and Ge were investigated as a function of composition. Values for the number of interfacial states were determined in addition to their spatial extension in the actual oxidation interface. The role of interfacial cleaning and the initiation of growth in thin films were determined.

The complex geometries of ram-air parachutes are modeled by two-dimensional rigid airfoil geometries with or without trailing-edge deflections and bleed air spoilers. The aerodynamic forces are then calculated from steady or unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations using Cobalt and Kestrel flow solvers. The effects of the grid size and type, the time step, and the choice of solver parameters are investigated. The flow solvers are then used to study the flow around three-dimensional wings with open/closed ram-air inlets by comparing lift and drag coefficients with available experimental data. The results show that computational fluid dynamics simulations are a valuable aid in understanding the flow structure of ram-air parachutes, which resemble a rectangular wing with open inlets. However, the computational solutions of these geometries have initial oscillations of large amplitude and converge slowly compared to closed wings/airfoils. The simulation of open geometry should run unsteady and for a large number of time steps. It is also shown that an open-inlet geometry has smaller lift and larger drag, and it stalls earlier than a closed-inlet geometry. Although the air reaches stagnation conditions inside the cavity present in an open airfoil, the air pressure inside the wing cells is less than the stagnation pressure. The flow investigations show that eddies are formed on the lower surface of the open airfoil and wings; however, the wing eddy size varies in the spanwise direction. Finally, the grid sensitivity results show that the solutions of open geometries are very sensitive to the grid quality.

Previous research shows military affiliated cadets, especially males, are substantially less approving of women serving in military jobs, especially those involving exposure to direct combat or command positions, than are other college students. The current study extends these findings by considering political ideology in addition to gender and military affiliation, as related to attitudes toward women's roles in the military overall and in combat roles in particular. Survey data from Service Academy cadets (n = 3,116), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets (n = 1,367), and nonmilitary affiliated college students (n = 2,648), provided measures of whether a woman should or should not be allowed to serve in 9 different military job areas. In addition to overall approval, a scale for combat jobs was created from a subset of 4 of the jobs. Regression analysis indicated that once gender, political party, political position (left/right), and attitudes toward mothers in the workforce overall were controlled, type of college did not add to the prediction of acceptance of women in various military roles. In general, nonmilitary affiliated respondents, women, and those identifying as Democrat offered higher approval scores. Our findings suggest more aggressive programs, designed to educate and socialize these future leaders about women's roles in the military, may require development.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2016/11// Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 181 IS - 11 M3 - journal article SP - 61 EP - 65 SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: Service members with traumatic amputations may be at an increased risk of elevated core body temperature, since their ability to dissipate heat may decrease with the reduction in body surface area (BSA) after injury. Elevated core temperature can impair physical performance during combat operations potentially putting the service members and their teams at risk. The purpose of this study was to compare core temperature between individuals with and without amputations during a prolonged endurance event.Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male military service members (10 with amputations, 10 without) participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March 26.2-mile event on March 27, 2011. Data collected include BSA, body mass index, body composition, body weight before and after the event, core temperature during the event, and postevent hydration status. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body weight was measured by digital scale. Core temperature was measured by ingestible sensor. Hydration was measured by urine specific gravity. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved this study and participants provided written informed consent.Results: Three participants' data were not included in the analyses. No significant differences in core temperature were found between participants in both groups, and no correlation was found between core temperature and either BSA or hydration status. There was no significant difference in maximal core temperature between the groups (p = 0.27). Nearly all participants (8 control, 6 amputation) reached 38.3°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat exhaustion. No subjects reached 40.0°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat stroke. Time spent above the 38.3°C threshold was not significantly different between groups, but varied widely by participant in relation to the duration of the event. Participants without amputations finished the event faster than participants with amputations (7.9 ± 1.4 vs. 9.6 ± 0.96, p < 0.01), possibly indicating that participants with amputations self-selected a slower pace to attenuate increased core temperature.Conclusion: Until conclusive evidence is accumulated, it is prudent for military leaders, trainers, and military service members to closely monitor this population during physical activity to prevent heat injuries.

The center supports comprehensive research projects to optimize treatment strategies and promote the successful return to duty and community reintegration of injured service members. The center also provides a unique platform for fostering innovative research and incorporating clinical/technical advances in the rehabilitative care for service members. CRSR is composed of four research focus areas: (1) identifying barriers to successful rehabilitation and reintegration, (2) improving pain management strategies to promote full participation in rehabilitation programs, (3) applying novel technologies to advance rehabilitation methods and enhance outcome assessments, and (4) transferring new technology to improve functional capacity, independence, and quality of life. Each of these research focus areas works synergistically to influence the quality of life for injured service members. The purpose of this overview is to highlight the clinical research efforts of CRSR, namely how this organization engages a broad group of interdisciplinary investigators from medicine, biology, engineering, anthropology, and physiology to help solve clinically relevant problems for our service members, veterans, and their families.

The MRF drove enemy forces from key population centers and decimated the Viet Cong main force units that stood and fought them. But in August 1969, General Creighton Abrams, Westmoreland's successor, disbanded the MRF. Despite the MRF's impressive battle history, Army and Navy leaders never fully embraced the creation, development, or operational deployment of one of the few truly joint-service units of the Vietnam War.

Different growth rates of Ga- and N-polar wings together with wing tilt create a major obstacle for achieving a smooth, fully coalesced surface in ELO a-plane GaN. To address this issue a two-step growth method was employed to provide a large aspect ratio of height to width in the first growth step followed by enhanced lateral growth in the second by controlling the growth temperature. By this method, the average ratio of Ga- to N-polar wing growth rate has been reduced from 4–6 to 1.5–2, which consequently reduced the wing-tilt induced height difference between the two approaching wings at the coalescence front, thereby making their coalescence much easier. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the threading dislocation density in the wing regions was 1.0×108 cm-2, more than two orders of magnitude lower than that in the window regions (4.2×1010 cm-2). However, a relatively high density of basal stacking faults of 1.2×104 cm-1 was still present in the wing regions as compared to c -plane GaN, where they are rarely observed away from the substrate. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements showed two orders of magnitude higher density of surface pits in the window than in the wing regions, which were considered to be terminated by dislocations (partial ones related to stacking faults and full ones) on the surface. The existence of basal stacking faults was also revealed by AFM measurements on the a-plane ELO sample after wet chemical etching in hot H3PO4/H2SO4 (1:1). The extensions of Ga-polar wings near the meeting fronts were almost free of stacking faults. The improvement of crystalline quality in the overgrown layer by ELO was also verified by near field scanning optical microscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements; the former showing strongly enhanced luminescence from the wing regions, and the latter indicating longer decay times (0.25 ns) compared to a standard a-plane GaN template (40 ps).

JO - Journal of Chemical Physics JF - Journal of Chemical Physics Y1 - 2007/08/21/ VL - 127 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 074708 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00219606 AB - We performed tight-binding molecular dynamics on single-walled carbon nanotubes with and without a variety of defects to study their effect on the nanotube modulus and failure through bond rupture. For a pristine (5,5) nanotube, Young’s modulus was calculated to be ∼1.1 TPa, and brittle rupture occurred at a strain of 17% under quasistatic loading. The predicted modulus is consistent with values from experimentally derived thermal vibration and pull test measurements. The defects studied consist of moving or removing one or two carbon atoms, and correspond to a 1.4% defect density. The occurrence of a Stone-Wales defect does not significantly affect Young’s modulus, but failure occurs at 15% strain. The occurrence of a pair of separated vacancy defects lowers Young’s modulus by ∼160 GPa and the critical or rupture strain to 13%. These defects apparently act independently, since one of these defects alone was independently determined to lower Young’s modulus by ∼90 GPa, also with a critical strain of 13%. When the pair of vacancy defects adjacent, however, Young’s modulus is lowered by only ∼100 GPa, but with a lower critical strain of 11%. In all cases, there is noticeable strain softening, for instance, leading to an ∼250 GPa drop in the apparent secant modulus at 10% strain. When a chiral (10,5) nanotube with a vacancy defect was subjected to tensile strain, failure occurred through a continuous spiral-tearing mechanism that maintained a high level of stress (2.5 GPa) even as the nanotube unraveled. Since the statistical likelihood of defects occurring near each other increases with nanotube length, these studies may have important implications for interpreting the experimental distribution of moduli and critical strains.

The theoretical model is developed on the basis of solving self-consistently the Schrödinger equation for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues coupled with the Poisson equation for the confinement potentials, in which the effects such as charge distribution and depletion are considered. In particular, we examine the effect of a GaSb cap layer on electronic properties of the quantum well systems in conjunction with experiments and experimental findings. The results obtained from the proposed self-consistent calculation can be used to understand important experimental findings and are in line with those measured experimentally.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2007/08//8/1/2007 VL - 102 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 034104 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Compositionally layered BaxSr1-xTiO3 (Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3–Ba0.75Sr0.25TiO3–Ba0.90Sr0.10TiO3) 220 nm thin film heterostructures were fabricated on Pt coated high resistivity Si substrates via the metal organic solution deposition technique (MOSD). Optimization of the material design was achieved by evaluating two integration schemes, namely, the single- and multianneal process protocols. Materials characterization demonstrated that both film process protocols resulted in smooth, dense, crack-free films with a single phase perovskite structure. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy revealed compositionally distinct layers and severe elemental interdiffusion for the films fabricated via the multianneal and single-anneal process protocols, respectively. The retention of the compositional layering subsequent to film crystallization deemed the multianneal processed BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) film suitable for evaluation of dielectric properties. The dielectric properties were compared to both paraelectric uniform composition BST and to the relevant compositionally graded BST films reported in the technical literature. Our results made evident that the multiannealed compositionally layered BST films possessed higher permittivity ([variant_greek_epsilon]r=360) and lower dissipation factor (tan δ=0.012) with respect to both uniform composition paraelectric Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3 film fabricated via the same MOSD processing method and the relevant literature values for compositionally graded BST films. The multilayered BST material design exhibited minimal dielectric dispersion in the range of 90 to -10 °C, showing a 6.4% decrease in permittivity (corresponding to a temperature coefficient of capacitance TCC20–90=-0.921) as the temperature was elevated from 20 to 90 °C and only a 2.1 increase in permittivity (TCC20–(-10)=-0.716) as the temperature was lowered from 20 to -10 °C. Additionally, the dielectric tunability of the multilayered BST structures over the temperature range of -10–90 °C was temperature independent. Our results show that the multilayered BST design has excellent dielectric properties and the enhanced tunability and dielectric loss are stable over a relatively broad temperature range (-10–90 °C), thereby making them excellent candidates for the next generation of enhanced performance temperature stable tunable devices.

SN - 00222461 AB - The thermal stability of nanostructured FeNiZr alloys with Zr additions up to 4 at.% was investigated. This expands upon our previous results for Fe-Ni base alloys that were limited to 1 at.% Zr addition. Emphasis was placed on understanding the effects of composition and microstructural evolution on grain growth and mechanical properties after annealing at temperatures near and above the bcc-to-fcc transformation. Results reveal that microstructural stability can be lost due to the bcc-to-fcc transformation (occurring at 700 °C) by the sudden appearance of abnormally grown fcc grains. However, it was determined that grain growth can be suppressed kinetically at higher temperatures for high Zr content alloys due to the precipitation of intermetallic compounds. Eventually, at higher temperatures and regardless of composition, the retention of nanocrystallinity was lost, leaving behind fine micron grains filled with nanoscale intermetallic precipitates. Despite the increase in grain size, the in situ formed precipitates were found to induce an Orowan hardening effect rivaling that predicted by Hall-Petch hardening for the smallest grain sizes. The transition from grain size strengthening to precipitation strengthening is reported for these alloys. The large grain size and high precipitation hardening result in a material that exhibits high strength and significant plastic straining capacity.

The present work examined how transient states of high physiological arousal during aerobic exercise influence recognizing and rating morphed facial expressions. Participants exercised at either a low or high work rate. While exercising and then during cool-down and rest periods, participants performed a version of the morphed faces task that involved animated faces changing into or away from five target affective states (happy, surprise, sadness, anger, and disgust); they were asked to stop the animation when the face first corresponded to a target state, and rate its emotional intensity. Results demonstrated no differences in animation stop data, but overall lower ratings of perceived emotion intensity during high versus low work rate exercise; these effects dissipated through cool-down and rest periods. Results highlight important interactions between physiological states and processing emotional information.

This study describes Chesapeake Bay, USA, veined rapa whelk Rapana venosa imposex incidence and sex ratios from 1998 to 2009. Tissue TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were examined with respect to whelk sex, size, and water temperature at the time of collection, and also to egg case size, hatching success, and veliger diameter. Imposex incidence declined and population sex ratios moved closer to parity from 1998 to 2009. Observed TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were higher in James River than in Ocean View whelks with higher TBT concentrations observed in males than in females. Exponential declines in TBT concentrations from female-specific first to last clutches within a reproductive season were observed, indicating that whelks depurate TBT through egg case deposition. Egg capsule hatching success and veliger size were similar for female and imposex whelks. The R. venosa imposex levels observed in Chesapeake Bay apparently do not affect the production, release, or viability of larvae.

This assumption is plausible if we assume an individualist framework. However, the classical theorists accepted quasi-Aristotelian, communitarian social ontologies and theories of justice. For them, the political community is ontologically and morally prior to the private individual. The classical just war theorists build their theories within this framework. They argue that just war is only waged by supra-individual political communities for irreducibly social ends. War by private individuals for private ends is always unjust. The ends sought in just war presuppose the justice of a hierarchy of authority over war such that the soldier is obligated to serve in war upon the command of his or her legitimate authority. In this way, the classical theorists accept a unilateral theory of just cause and a division of authority over war that entails the possibility of the moral equality of combatants.

We assessed effects of WNS on summer captures of Myotis leibii (Eastern Small-footed Bat), M. lucifugus (Little Brown Bat), M. septentrionalis (Northern Long-eared Bat), and Eptesicus fuscus (Big Brown Bat) in New Hampshire from 2005-2011. Declines in rates and probability of capture varied among species but were greatest in the Myotis. Trends generally agreed with previous studies, except that declines in captures of Eastern Small-footed Bats were disproportionately higher than expected from winter estimates. Monitoring of Eastern Small-footed Bats during the non-hibernation period likely will help to clarify the effects of WNS on this uncommon species.

In spite of the increased recognition of the importance of situational variables, a literature and methodological toolkit for the study of situational influences that is comparable with those available for individual variables has not yet emerged. However, the recently developed Riverside Situational Q-sort provides a novel method for quantifying subjective impressions of any situation. This proof-of-concept demonstration asked participants to complete the RSQ in response to an imaginary food crisis situation communicated via one of three message sources (social media, organizational website and traditional media). Results illustrate the potential of this method to provide quantitative evaluations of subjective responses to crisis situations.

Starting powders are prepared from combinations of high purity Mg( OH)2 and γ- Al2 O3 thoroughly mixed in an aqueous slurry, and the solids are collected, dried, calcined, mixed with LiF sintering aid, and sieved. The optimum amount of LiF added varies with the alumina composition of the spinel solid solution. The powders are sintered into dense ceramics by hot pressing at 1600°C under vacuum and 20 MPa uniaxial load followed by hot isostatic pressing at 1850°C under 200 MPa in Ar. Both compositions exhibit exaggerated grain growth with average sizes well over 500 μm. Knoop hardness measurements are 11.2 ± 0.3 GPa for MgO·2 Al2 O3 and 11.0 ± 0.4 GPa for MgO·2.5 Al2 O3.

Overall, 93-96% migrated from the stream into the east side of the long narrow fjord, where they dispersed north and south along the shoreline. Most O. c. clarkii were detected nearshore within 10 km of the release site, with declining detection rates to 77 km. Over one-third (36%) crossed c. 2-4 km of deep water to the other side but only one O. c. clarkii left the Hood Canal basin. Movements and behaviour patterns did not differ between smolts and adults but cluster analysis revealed two modes of distribution, here categorized as residents and migrants. Within these categories of overall distribution, a range of finer-scale behaviour patterns was observed, including sedentary individuals, daily moving between proximate sites and more continuous long-distance travel. Diel movement patterns varied markedly among individuals but overall activity increased near dawn, peaked around mid-day and declined but continued at night. These patterns contrast with sympatric and closely related steelhead trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, providing new insights into the diversity of salmonid behaviour.

In a screen for biomarkers of exposure, these compounds were measured in urine and blood of male rhesus monkeys after oral doses. NTO peaked at 4h, with urinary concentrations at least 100-fold higher than that of blood or serum while 4-dinitrophenol (DNP), a metabolite of DNAN, appeared in blood at concentrations 10- to 20-fold higher than the parent compound. For human exposure monitoring, urine is optimal for NTO while the metabolite DNP in blood is best for DNAN.

The focus of the paper was testing compacted specimens made from 100% RAP and virgin binder. Three RAP sources were tested with three different virgin asphalt contents and two different 100% RAP mixing temperatures. A total of 144 torsion bars were prepared and tested. The overall result of the investigation was that the RC test does not appear optimal for the purpose of evaluating the interaction of 100% RAP mixed with virgin binder. One of the difficulties encountered was preparing torsion bars over a wide range of RAP material properties and virgin asphalt contents. The RC test was able to detect RAP source and virgin asphalt content, but was not able to capture potential differences in mechanical response due to differences in specimen mixing temperature.

SN - 00068314 AB - The spatial resolution of a sonic anemometer is limited by the distance between its transducers, and for studies of small-scale turbulence and theories of turbulence, it is desirable to increase this spatial resolution. We here consider resolution improvements obtainable by treating the sonic anemometer as a small tomography array, with application of appropriate inverse algorithms for the reconstruction of temperature and velocity. A particular modification of the sonic anemometer is considered when the number of its transducers is doubled and the time-dependent stochastic inversion algorithm is used for reconstruction. Numerical simulations of the sonic anemometer and its suggested modification are implemented with the temperature and velocity fields modelled as discrete eddies moving through the sonic's volume. The tomographic approach is shown to provide better reconstructions of the temperature and velocity fields, with spatial resolution increased by as much as a factor of ten. The spatial resolution depends on the inverse algorithm and also improves by increasing the number of transducers.

Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, we present evidence of nanotwins (<1 nm) in nanocrystalline Mg–Al alloys processed by cryomilling. The commonly observed twinning modes for coarse-grained Mg are identified and supported with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The specific thermomechanical conditions offered by cryomilling facilitate the generation of deformation twins that are not observed with conventional deformation processing methods.

However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury.

Models that provide quantitative estimates of AMS risk are expanding, but predictive genetic models for AMS susceptibility are still under investigation. Thirty-four male U.S. Army Soldier volunteers were exposed to baseline, 3,000 m, 3,500 m, or 4,500 m altitude conditions in a hypobaric chamber and evaluated for onset of AMS symptoms. In addition, mice were evaluated at extreme hypoxia conditions equivalent to 7,600 m. Real-time polymerase chain reaction hypoxia response array was used to identify 15 genes that were activated in Soldiers and 46 genes that were activated in mice. We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a gene that is significantly activated in response to hypoxia (5.8-fold upregulated at 4,500 m in humans). The role of ANGPTL4 in high-altitude response has not been explored. Pretreatment of mice with fenofibrate, an /WGiTW-activating pharmaceutical, had a considerable effect on overall hypoxia response gene expression and resulted in significantly decreased cerebral edema following exposure to hypoxia. Activation of ANGPTL4 may protect against cerebral edema by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor and therefore serve as a potential target for AMS prevention.

In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The "recent loss of someone close" and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study's primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

The purpose of this article is to augment the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) guidance with a framework of TFF in units. The framework is based on a Military Demand-Resource model that highlights the dynamic interactions across demands, resources, and outcomes. A joint team of subject-matter experts identified key variables representing unit fitness demands, resources, and outcomes. The resulting framework informs and supports leaders, support agencies, and enterprise efforts to strengthen TFF in units by (1) identifying TFF unit variables aligned with current evidence and operational practices, (2) standardizing communication about TFF in units across the Department of Defense enterprise in a variety of military organizational contexts, (3) improving current resources including evidence- based actions for leaders, (4) identifying and addressing of gaps, and (5) directing future research for enhancing TFF in units. These goals are intended to inform and enhance Service efforts to develop Service-specific TFF models, as well as provide the conceptual foundation for a follow-on article about TFF metrics for units.

It is also found that phonon-assisted hole transport through the B-region disables its two-color detection mode around 140 K. In addition, photoemission yield shows a reduction at about an energy of longitudinal-optical phonon above the threshold, confirming carrier-phonon scattering degradation on the photoresponse. These results may indicate a pathway for optimizing T2SL detectors in addition to current efforts in material growth, processing, substrate preparation, and device passivation.

However, a combination of thermal activation and resonant tunneling of carriers increasingly coupled the QWs, favoring emission from the lowest energy QWs with increasing temperature in a manner analogous to MQWs composed of other non-polar semiconductor materials but unlike most InGaN MQWs grown on polar substrates and influenced by the strong polarization-dependent effects.

For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 8 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Turbine-passed fish are exposed to rapid decreases in pressure which can cause barotrauma. The presence of an implanted telemetry tag increases the likelihood of injury or death from exposure to pressure changes, thus potentially biasing studies evaluating survival of turbine-passed fish. Therefore, a neutrally buoyant externally attached tag was developed to eliminate this bias in turbine passage studies. This new tag was designed not to add excess mass in water or take up space in the coelom, having an effective tag burden of zero with the goal of reducing pressure related biases to turbine survival studies. To determine if this new tag affects fish performance or susceptibility to predation, it was evaluated in the field relative to internally implanted acoustic transmitters (JSATS; Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System) used widely for survival studies of juvenile salmonids. Survival and travel time through the study reach was compared between fish with either tag type in an area of high predation in the Snake and Columbia rivers, Washington. An additional group of fish affixed with neutrally-buoyant dummy external tags were implanted with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and recovered further downstream to assess external tag retention and injury. There were no significant differences in survival to the first detection site, 12 river kilometers (rkm) downstream of release. Travel times were also similar between groups. Conversely, externally-tagged fish had reduced survival (or elevated tag loss) to the second detection site, 65 rkm downstream. In addition, the retention study revealed that tag loss was first observed in fish recaptured approximately 9 days after release. Results suggest that this new tag may be viable for short term (<8 days) single-dam turbine-passage studies and under these situations, may alleviate the turbine passage-related bias encountered when using internal tags, however further research is needed to confirm this.

T1 - The Effect of Heat Acclimation on Sweat Microminerals: Artifact of Surface Contamination. JO - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism JF - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 23 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 470 EP - 479 SN - 1526484X AB - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n = 10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p = .10–0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca = 0.30 ± 0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41 ± 0.53 μmol/L; Zn 1.11 ± 0.80 μmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p < .05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability.

The current study compared scores on computerized neurocognitive tests of 166 soldiers who were deployed to Iraq. Predeployment baseline scores (n=3) were compared to baseline scores collected while deployed (n=113) on the battery of tests. There was no significant difference between baseline scores acquired from the predeployment group versus the deployed group. Furthermore, only one subtest revealed a significant difference in change scores from the follow-up test session when comparing the location of initial baseline testing. The results suggest that testing environment does not significantly influence baseline neurocognitive testing. The findings also provide support for the use of neurocognitive testing in a deployment environment.

This war exposed the deterioration of the U.S. Army's records management after the disestablishment of The Adjutant General's Office (TAGO) in 1986. TAGO had overseen Army records management, holding commanders accountable for their units' records and using trained personnel to manage records within units. Focusing on operational records, this paper explores the breakdown of records management during the Gulf War, discusses the presidentially mandated Gulf War Declassification Project (1995-1996), and briefly reviews current Army operational records management.

These theorists did not fixate on the writings of Carl von Clausewitz, but they were familiar with his work. But independent of Clausewitz, American military theory emphasized the Clausewitzian concept of the relationships among politics and society in preparing for and fighting wars. This article explores Clausewitz and American military theory, explains how Americans became naturally Clausewitzian, and discusses what their thinking has to do with the conduct of war.

Prior work established in theory and validated in a flume study a method known as integrated section surface difference over time version 2 (ISSDOTv2), which computes bed-load transport using sequential three dimensional (3D) bathymetric profiles. The same work identified a source of systemic error leading to an underprediction of computed transport rates. This paper demonstrates how the systemic error can be removed from ISSDOTv2 calculations to produce a more accurate dune transport value. This is demonstrated by analytic and geometric examples, and with field data from the Missouri River at Kansas City. The results of these analyses indicate that field data do exhibit the systematic error and that it is possible to extrapolate a corrected dune bed-load transport rate from field data obtained at different measurement intervals. Additionally, error bounds on this corrected value can be set. Independent validation of the resulting transport rate was not attempted due to the unreliability of physical measurements for bed-load transport in large sand-bed rivers.

These deformations become apparent when the motion associated with uniform strain is subtracted from the total particle motion. Besides presenting an interesting phenomenon that begs explanation, these vortex patterns suggest multiscale structure for nonaffine motion as suggested by modern continuum theories. Further, the authors note that the rotational velocity field added to a uniform strain field produces a planar slip field. Thus, these structures are associated with the slip-band fields that eventually form, which are generally associated with bifurcations in the solution path of the governing partial differential equations. The authors present a procedure to extract these motion fields from discrete-element simulations along with conjugate forces associated with these motions. A key finding from the simulations is that the motions that eventually lead to shear band formation develop throughout the loading history rather than arising as a distinct bifurcation. Further, the pattern of rotational fields, and hence the shear banding pattern, are controlled by the boundary conditions. A question, only partly resolved here, is the origin of forces driving the rotational fields.

Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r2 = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r2 = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are "fit for duty" (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

Although the system follows a modular design philosophy, with each functional block acting as a peripheral to a main control module and can be adapted to arbitrary power and pulse width levels, for the specific SGTO devices initially evaluated it was configured to have the device discharge variable current levels of up to 6 kA into a 0.5 Ω resistive load with a relatively square pulse fixed at 100 μs full width at half maximum delivering energy levels up to 1.8 kJ to the load.

JO - Education Economics JF - Education Economics Y1 - 2017/06// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 233 SN - 09645292 AB - It is widely believed that the time children spend with parents significantly impacts human capital formation. If time varies significantly between black and white children, this may help explain the large racial gap in test scores and wages. In this study, I use data from the American Time Use Survey to examine the patterns in the time black and white children receive from mothers at each age between birth and age 14 years. I relate patterns in parenting time to trends in human capital formation observed in the literature. I observe that black children spend significantly less time with their mothers than white children in the first years of life. However, differences in parenting time rapidly decline with age and there are never significant differences in teaching time after socioeconomic variables are controlled. My findings suggest that the black–white human capital gap is unlikely to be driven by differences in teaching time or differences in parenting time after children enter school.

This model is based on the Maxwell-Stefan formulation of multicomponent diffusion along with the Flory-Huggins model of thermodynamic equilibrium in the polymer. It was found that, as methanol from the decontaminant absorbs into the silicone, the diffusivity of VX increases, accelerating its flux from the polymer phase to the decontaminant liquid phase. This composition dependence of the diffusivity was accurately described by the Vignes equation. Although the decontamination kinetics were slower for the methanol-based decontaminant in a well-stirred liquid-phase reactor, the overall performance was superior compared to the aqueous-based decontaminant due to the enhanced extraction rate from the polymer. These findings highlight the need to consider extraction dynamics on equal footing with reaction kinetics when formulating decontaminants intended for use on absorbing polymer materials.

There is no licensed treatment or vaccine against the virus, underscoring the need for efficacious countermeasures. We ascertained that a human survivor of the 1995 Kikwit Ebola virus disease outbreak maintained circulating antibodies against the Ebola virus surface glycoprotein for more than a decade after infection. From this survivor we isolated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize recent and previous outbreak variants of Ebola virus and mediate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. Strikingly, monotherapy with mAb114 protected macaques when given as late as 5 days after challenge. Treatment with a single human mAb suggests that a simplified therapeutic strategy for human Ebola infection may be possible.

To mitigate these effects, we developed a by-pixel filtering algorithm to produce relatively cloud-free SCA products from 16 days of MODIS imagery. The algorithm uses previous days' data to estimate the current SCA value of each pixel and uses a simple persistence test to reduce the effects of spurious SCA/cloud classifications in the input products. To be positively identified as SCA, a pixel must be snow-covered in the two most recent, cloud-free scenes of the 16-day period. We applied this time-domain-filtering (TDF) methodology to two single-day MODIS fractional snow cover products (MOD10A1 and MODSCAG) over the MODIS period of record (2000-present) and compared the outputs to the unfiltered products, to filtered maps generated using the cloud-gap-filled algorithm (CGF, Hall et al., 2010), and to historical snow assessment reports from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). The CRREL reports were manually generated and quality-controlled by an analyst and are treated as ground truth. We find that, when applied to MODSCAG, the TDF algorithm successfully fills in gap pixels and limits the effects of snow/cloud confusion and produces a filtered product that is more consistent and accurate than the MODSCAG CGF product and comparable to the MOD10A1 CGF product.

Tailoring graphene's properties toward a selected application requires precise control of the atomic layer growth process, transfer, and postprocessing procedures. To date, the mechanical properties of graphene are largely controlled through postprocess defect engineering techniques. In this work, we demonstrate the role of varied catalytic surface morphologies on the tailorability of subsequent graphene film quality and breaking strength, providing a mechanism to tailor the physical, electrical, and mechanical properties at the growth stage. A new surface planarization methodology that results in over a 99% reduction in Cu surface roughness allows for smoothness parameters beyond that reported to date in literature and clearly demonstrates the role of Cu smoothness toward a decrease in the formation of bilayer graphene defects, altered domain sizes, monolayer graphene sheet resistance values down to 120 Ω/... and a 78% improvement in breaking strength. The combined electrical and mechanical enhancements achieved through this methodology allows for the direct growth of application quality flexible transparent conductive films with monolayer graphene.

We isolated and characterized 349 GP-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from the peripheral B cells of a convalescent donor who survived the 2014 EBOV Zaire outbreak. Remarkably, 77% of the mAbs neutralize live EBOV, and several mAbs exhibit unprecedented potency. Structures of selected mAbs in complex with GP reveal a site of vulnerability located in the GP stalk region proximal to the viral membrane. Neutralizing antibodies targeting this site show potent therapeutic efficacy against lethal EBOV challenge in mice. The results provide a framework for the design of new EBOV vaccine candidates and immunotherapies.

The classical molecular dynamics simulations were performed using a quantum-based nonreactive pair additive interaction potential whereas the full resolution quantum mechanical molecular dynamics simulations allow chemical reactions. Although the shock Hugoniot curve calculated using nonreactive classical MD for formic acid is in reasonable agreement with one set of experimental results, shock Hugoniot points calculated using Born-Oppenheimer MD at 30 GPa are in agreement with the set of experimental data that suggests chemical reactivity at these elevated temperatures and pressures. Examination of atomic positions throughout the Born-Oppenheimer MD trajectories clearly indicates extensive and complex chemical reaction, chiefly involving hydrogen-atom transfer and intermolecular complexation.

We derive expressions for the stress, velocity, and electric displacement in the target at all times after impact. A combined d'Alembert and Laplace transform method is used to derive new numerically based solutions for this class of transient wave propagation problems. A modified Dubner-Abate-Crump (DAC) algorithm is used to invert the analytical Laplace transform domain solutions to the time domain. Unlike many authors who neglect electromechanical coupling in the initially unstressed region ahead of the shock, we consider this effect, which gives rise to the development of a tensile stress wave within the piezoelectric target ahead of the shock. To solve the problem, we derive a new piezoelectric impact boundary condition and apply it to the problem of a finite quartz (Si $$\text {O}_2$$ ) flyer impacting a lead zirconate titanate (PZT-4) target and find that the solutions obtained using the modified DAC algorithm compare well with those obtained using both a finite-difference time-domain method, and the commercial finite element code, COMSOL multiphysics.

The evidence suggests that the Kremlin is unwilling to develop and impose on society historical narratives which promote chauvinism, hypernationalism, and re-Stalinization. Although such an agenda has some support among incumbent elites and in society, it remains subordinate in terms of political influence as of early 2016. Instead, the regime is now extending support to groups in society and the political establishment which favor a critical assessment of the Soviet era, including Stalinism. This emerging criticism of the Soviet past serves a number of important goals of the leadership, including re-engagement with the West. To this end, the Kremlin recently approved new history textbooks critical of the Soviet past as well as a significant program that memorializes the victims of Soviet repressions. Yet the regime is unlikely to usher in thorough de-Stalinization which would threaten its power. Instead, the Kremlin is attempting to assemble a grand narrative that approves, as well as criticizes - in different measures - each of the regimes that existed in the 20th century (tsarist, communist, and post-communist). This incipient narrative constitutes a form of bricolage, which involves the retrieval and reassembly of diverse, often conflicting, elements to solve a problem. Here the problem is the long-standing, divisive issue of how to evaluate the history of 20th century Russia and its different regimes. The Kremlin now seeks to knit together the diverse identities of these regimes through the unifying historical thread of the Russian state. This act of bricolage also seeks to reconcile the contradictions within each regime: elements of the new narrative can be expected to condemn the inhumanity of Stalin and Stalinism while other facets will extol industrialization and the Great Patriotic War as the achievements of Russian-led Soviet society. From this perspective, neither re-Stalinization nor de-Stalinization is likely to occur in Putin's Russia. Nevertheless, if recent initiatives remain in place, critical assessments of Soviet foreign and domestic policies will become increasingly commonplace.

JO - International Journal of Audiology JF - International Journal of Audiology Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 55 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 194 SN - 14992027 AB - Objective: The purpose of this paper was to provide an extensive description of a case of sopite syndrome, a manifestation of motion sickness scarcely described in the literature. Design: The following questionnaires were used to assess sopite syndrome symptoms pre, during and post parabolic flight; Misery Scale rate, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, the Motion Sickness Assessment Questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Study sample: Case report of a 35-year old female compared to a control group (n = 26). Results: We describe of sopite syndrome during parabolic flight. The subject reported drowsiness and she noted mood changes such as irritation and annoyance. Furthermore, she was not able to perform her assigned task. Her symptoms escalated into extreme fatigue and the inability to stay awake. Nauseogenic symptoms improved, but soporific symptoms persisted for several hours after the motion stimulus (i.e. parabolic flight). Conclusions: This case points towards the need for controlled studies to assess the prevalence of this syndrome among the general population and select groups. Future research should focus on developing tests for personnel screening and explore treatment options.

JO - Composites: Part B, Engineering JF - Composites: Part B, Engineering Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 88 M3 - Article SP - 44 EP - 54 SN - 13598368 AB - This study explores the mechanical properties of an E-glass fabric composite reinforced with anchored multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs were grown on the E-glass fabric using a floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition procedure. The E-glass fabric with attached CNTs was then incorporated into resin based composites and compared to similar composites without CNTs. Long and short beam bending tests, uniaxial compression measurements for energy dissipation, high strain-rate Split-Hopkinson pressure bar measurements, and ballistic performance (V50) tests were performed to characterize the mechanical properties of the CNT composites. The CNT composites showed a reduction in interlaminar shear strength by 25.9%. They also showed an increase in the specific energy absorption by 106% at high strain rates and an increase in energy density dissipation by 64.3% after 5 cycles at quasi-static strain rates. In ballistic V50 tests, the CNT based composites showed a higher V50 value by 11.1%. Due to their reduced weight and energy dissipation properties, the direct growth of CNTs on E-glass fabrics incorporated into composites have potential defense applications such as blast protection.

T1 - The Effects of an Injury Prevention Program on Landing Biomechanics Over Time. JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 767 EP - 776 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Knowledge is limited regarding how long improvements in biomechanics remain after completion of a lower extremity injury prevention program. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of an injury prevention program on movement technique and peak vertical ground-reaction forces (VGRF) over time compared with a standard warm-up (SWU) program. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 1104 incoming freshmen (age range, 17-22 years) at a military academy in the United States volunteered to participate. Participants were cluster-randomized by military company to either the Dynamic Integrated Movement Enhancement (DIME) injury prevention program or SWU. A random subsample of participants completed a standardized jump-landing task at each time point: immediately before the intervention (PRE), immediately after (POST), and 2 (POST2M), 4 (POST4M), 6 (POST6M), and 8 months (POST8M) after the intervention. VGRF data collected during the jump-landing task were normalized to body weight (%BW). The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was used to evaluate movement technique during the jump landing. The change scores (Δ) for each variable (LESS, VGRF) between the group’s average value at PRE and each time point were calculated. Separate univariate analyses of variance were performed to evaluate group differences. Results: The results showed a greater decrease in mean (±SD) VGRF in the DIME group compared with the SWU group at all retention time points: POST2M (SWU [Δ%BW], −0.13 ± 0.82; DIME, −0.62 ± 0.91; P = .001), POST4M (SWU, −0.15 ± 0.98; DIME,−0.46 ± 0.64; P = .04), POST6M (SWU, −0.04 ± 0.96; DIME, −0.53 ± 0.83; P = .004), and POST8M (SWU, 0.38 ± 0.95; DIME, −0.11 ± 0.98; P = .003), but there was not a significant improvement in the DIME group between PRE and POST8M (Δ%BW, −0.11 ± 0.98). No group differences in Δ LESS were observed. Conclusion: The study findings demonstrated that an injury prevention program performed as a warm-up can reduce vertical ground-reaction forces compared with a standard warm-up but a maintenance program is likely necessary in order for continued benefit. Clinical Relevance: Injury prevention programs may need to be performed constantly, or at least every sport season, in order for participants to maintain the protective effects against injury.

JO - Fuel JF - Fuel Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 167 M3 - Article SP - 208 EP - 217 SN - 00162361 AB - Lead substituted hydroxyapatite (Pb-HAP) has been an active catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reactions. CO 3 2 − substituted HAP (HAP-CO 3 ) has showed enhanced oxide ion conductivity than bare HAP in high temperature solid oxide fuel cells. Substitutions for both cations and anions in HAP structure (Pb-HAP-CO 3 ) are promising to integrate the catalytic property of Pb-HAP and oxide ion conductive property of HAP-CO 3 into one apatite-based ceramic material that can be manufactured into membrane reactors for possessing CH 4 activation and O 2 permeation capabilities for efficient OCM reactions. In this work, the effects of substitutions for both cation (Pb 2+ ) and anion (CO 3 2 − ) in HAP structure on OCM reactions were studied. The composition and physicochemical properties of HAP catalysts were changed by the cation and anion substitutions, respectively, and as consequences, they influenced the catalytic performances of HAP structure in OCM reactions. The selectivity to C 2 (ethylene and ethane) products increased in the order of HAP-CO 3 < HAP < Pb-HAP-CO 3 < Pb-HAP, while Pb-HAP-CO 3 showed the best stability and comparable C 2 yield (under optimized reaction conditions) to Pb-HAP catalyst. Under different reaction temperature and/or CH 4 /O 2 ratio in the OCM reactions, the CH 4 conversion and C 2 or CO x (CO and CO 2 ) selectivity showed a strong dependence on the composition of HAP-based catalysts. The present study forms a basis for understanding of the correlations between the composition, structure, and catalytic performance of HAP and other apatite structured catalysts, which are potential membrane materials for OCM reactions in membrane reactors.

In this work, a novel segmentation technique is proposed, starting with octree decomposition to recursively divide the scene into octants or voxels, followed by a novel split and merge framework that uses graph theory and a series of connectivity analyses to intelligently merge components into larger connected components. The connectivity analysis, based on a combination of proximity, orientation, and curvature connectivity criteria, is designed for the segmentation of pipes, vessels, and walls from terrestrial LiDAR data of piping systems at industrial sites, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and steel mills. The proposed segmentation method is exercised on two terrestrial LiDAR datasets of a steel mill and a chemical plant, demonstrating its ability to correctly reassemble and segregate features of interest.

JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 168 M3 - Article SP - 16 EP - 26 SN - 03014797 AB - Model studies were conducted to investigate the potential coral reef sediment exposure from dredging associated with proposed development of a deepwater wharf in Apra Harbor, Guam. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to quantify the exposure of coral reefs to material suspended by the dredging operations at two alternative sites. Key PTM features include the flexible capability of continuous multiple releases of sediment parcels, control of parcel/substrate interaction, and the ability to efficiently track vast numbers of parcels. This flexibility has facilitated simulating the combined effects of sediment released from clamshell dredging and chiseling within Apra Harbor. Because the rate of material released into the water column by some of the processes is not well understood or known a priori , the modeling approach was to bracket parameters within reasonable ranges to produce a suite of potential results from multiple model runs. Sensitivity analysis to model parameters is used to select the appropriate parameter values for bracketing. Data analysis results include mapping the time series and the maximum values of sedimentation, suspended sediment concentration, and deposition rate. Data were used to quantify various exposure processes that affect coral species in Apra Harbor. The goal of this research is to develop a robust methodology for quantifying and bracketing exposure mechanisms to coral (or other receptors) from dredging operations. These exposure values were utilized in an ecological assessment to predict effects (coral reef impacts) from various dredging scenarios.

JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 168 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 122 SN - 03014797 AB - Coral reefs are in decline worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors including reductions in water and substratum quality. Dredging results in the mobilization of sediments, which can stress and kill corals via increasing turbidity, tissue damage and burial. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to predict the potential impacts of dredging-associated sediment exposure on the coral reef ecosystems of Apra Harbor, Guam. The data were interpreted using maps of bathymetry and coral abundance and distribution in conjunction with impact parameters of suspended sediment concentration (turbidity) and sedimentation using defined coral response thresholds. The results are presented using a “stoplight” model of negligible or limited impacts to coral reefs (green), moderate stress from which some corals would be expected to recover while others would not (yellow) and severe stress resulting in mortality (red). The red conditions for sediment deposition rate and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were defined as values exceeding 25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day window and >20 mg/l for any 18 days in any 90 day period over a column of water greater than 2 m, respectively. The yellow conditions were defined as values >10 mg cm −2 d −1 and <25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day period, and as 20% of 3 months' concentration exceeding 10 mg/l for the deposition and SSC, respectively. The model also incorporates the potential for cumulative effects on the assumption that even sub-lethal stress levels can ultimately lead to mortality in a multi-stressor system. This modeling approach can be applied by resource managers and regulatory agencies to support management decisions related to planning, site selection, damage reduction, and compensatory mitigation.

The methodology employs geospatial analyses and a geostatistical approach, and data from ground-based sensors and satellite-based estimates of solar insolation (i.e. total amount of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area during a given time) considering the spatial variability of the data. The applicability of the methodology is demonstrated by using Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-estimated and 29 ground sensor-based observed solar insolation data in the South Florida region of the USA. Results indicate that the optimal design of network depends on the spatial variability of insolation, analysis block size defined based on region-specific radiation characteristics, and the standard error used as a metric of network estimation accuracy.

JO - Pharmaceutical Research JF - Pharmaceutical Research Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 729 EP - 738 SN - 07248741 AB - Purpose: Polymer-xerogel composite materials have been introduced to better optimize local anesthetics release kinetics for the pain management. In a previous study, it was shown that by adjusting various compositional and nano-structural properties of both inorganic xerogels and polymers, zero-order release kinetics over 7 days can be achieved in vitro. In this study, in vitro release properties are confirmed in vivo using a model that tests for actual functionality of the released local anesthetics. Methods: Composite materials made with tyrosine-polyethylene glycol(PEG)-derived poly(ether carbonate) copolymers and silica-based sol-gel (xerogel) were synthesized. The in vivo release from the composite controlled release materials was demonstrated by local anesthetics delivery in a rat incisional pain model. Results: The tactile allodynia resulting from incision was significantly attenuated in rats receiving drug-containing composites compared with the control and sham groups for the duration during which natural healing had not yet taken place. The concentration of drug (bupivacaine) in blood is dose dependent and maintained stable up to 120 h post-surgery, the longest time point measured. Conclusions: These in vivo studies show that polymer-xerogel composite materials with controlled release properties represent a promising class of controlled release materials for pain management.

JO - Food Quality & Preference JF - Food Quality & Preference Y1 - 2016/03//Mar2016 Part A VL - 48 M3 - Article SP - 107 EP - 117 SN - 09503293 AB - Emotion measurement has received increasing attention as reflected in the growing number of methods for measuring emotions in a product development context, including questionnaires. One such emotion profile, the EsSense Profile® (King & Meiselman, 2010) contains 39 emotions and has had increased use in product research. One of the practical challenges to its wider adoption is the length of the profile. We present results from 4 sets of studies designed to evaluate the semantic structure of the EsSense Profile®, to develop a shorter version of it, and to validate the shorter version, both conceptually and practically. A sorting methodology was used to sort the 39 EsSense Profile® emotions (printed on cards) into groups based on a similarity criterion, using two subject populations ( n = 121). A unique modification was implemented where subjects indicated from each sorted pile which word in that pile best described the sorted group. Hierarchical clustering was used to highlight the structure, and candidate words for removal were chosen, reducing the list to 25 words. Using both the EsSense Profile® and EsSense25 lists, a validation sorting study was performed ( n = 87). Confirmation studies conducted online ( n = 1728) and in CLTs ( n = 306) used the questionnaires in real-world scenarios, including food-name evaluations, brand evaluations and product tasting. Overall both lists performed similarly, but analyses revealed that there may be important context effects in which the meaning of words may change across product categories and across emotion lists. We finish with a discussion of why this might be and what this means to the sensory practitioner.

JO - Brain & Behavior JF - Brain & Behavior Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 6 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 21623279 AB - Introduction We hypothesized that cerebral alterations in edema, perfusion, and/or intracranial pressure ( ICP) are related to the development of acute mountain sickness ( AMS). Methods To vary AMS, we manipulated ambient oxygen, barometric pressure, and exercise duration. Thirty-six subjects were tested before, during and after 8 h exposures in (1) normobaric normoxia ( NN; 300 m elevation equivalent); (2) normobaric hypoxia ( NH; 4400 m equivalent); and (3) hypobaric hypoxia ( HH; 4400 m equivalent). After a passive 15 min ascent, each subject participated in either 10 or 60 min of cycling exercise at 50% of heart rate reserve. We measured tissue absorption and scattering via radio-frequency near-infrared spectroscopy ( NIRS), optic nerve sheath diameter ( ONSD) via ultrasound, and AMS symptoms before, during, and after environmental exposures. Results We observed significant increases in NIRS tissue scattering of 0.35 ± 0.11 cm−1 ( P = 0.001) in subjects with AMS (i.e., AMS+), consistent with mildly increased cerebral edema. We also noted a small, but significant increase in total hemoglobin concentrations with AMS+, 3.2 ± 0.8 μmolL−1 ( P < 0.0005), consistent with increased cerebral perfusion. No effect of exercise duration was found, nor did we detect differences between NH and HH. ONSD assays documented a small but significant increase in ONSD (0.11 ± 0.02 mm; P < 0.0005) with AMS+, suggesting mildly elevated ICP, as well as further increased ONSD with longer exercise duration ( P = 0.005). Conclusion In AMS+, we found evidence of cerebral edema, elevated cerebral perfusion, and elevated ICP. The observed changes were small but consistent with the reversible nature of AMS.

JO - BioEnergy Research JF - BioEnergy Research Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 9 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 39 SN - 19391234 AB - Growing food crops for biofuel on productive agricultural lands may become less viable as requirements to feed a growing human population increase. This has increased interest in growing cellulosic biofuel feedstocks on marginal lands. Switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.), a warm-season perennial, is a viable bioenergy crop candidate because it produces high yields on marginal lands under low fertility conditions. In other studies, switchgrass dry matter (DM) yields on marginal croplands varied from 5.0 to 10.0 Mg ha annually. West Virginia contains immense areas of reclaimed surface mined lands that could support a switchgrass-based biofuel industry, but yield data on these lands are lacking. Field experiments were established in 2008 to determine yields of three switchgrass cultivars on two West Virginia mine sites. One site reclaimed with topsoil and municipal sludge produced biomass yields of 19.0 Mg DM ha for Cave-in-Rock switchgrass after the sixth year, almost double the varieties Shawnee and Carthage, at 10.0 and 5.7 Mg ha, respectively. Switchgrass yields on another site with no topsoil were 1.0 Mg ha after the sixth year, with little variation among cultivars. A second experiment was conducted at two other mine sites with a layer of topsoil over gray overburden. Cave-in-Rock was seeded with fertilizer applications of 0, 34, and 68 kg N-PO-KO ha. After the third year, the no fertilizer treatment averaged biomass yields of 0.3 Mg ha, while responses to the other two rates averaged 1.1 and 2.0 Mg ha, respectively. Fertilization significantly increased yields on reclaimed mine soils. Where mine soil fertility was good, yields were similar to those reported on agricultural soils in the Northeastern USA.

JO - BONE JF - BONE Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 84 M3 - Article SP - 113 EP - 119 SN - 87563282 AB - Introduction There are limited longitudinal studies that have evaluated bone mineral density (BMD) changes in college-aged women. Our objective was to simultaneously evaluate factors influencing 4-year BMD change. Methods This was a longitudinal cohort study of healthy, physically active women in the US Military Academy (n = 91; average age = 18.4 years). Assessments over four years included: height, weight, calcium intake, physical fitness, menstrual function (annual number cycles), oral contraceptives (OCs) or depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) use, and eating disorder behavior (Eating Disorder Inventory; (EDI)). BMD was measured annually at the lumbar spine and total hip by dual X-ray absorptiometry and calcaneal BMD by PIXI. Slope of 4 year BMD change at each skeletal site (spine total hip and calcaneus) was calculated for each woman. Results BMD gains occurred at the spine in 50% and the hip in 36% of women. In unadjusted analyses, spine bone gain was positively related to menstrual cycle frequency (p = 0.04). Spine and hip BMD loss occurred in those using DMPA (p < 0.01) and those with the highest EDI quartile scores (p < 0.05). BMD change was unrelated to OC use. Hip and calcaneus BMD decreased with weight loss (average 4.8 + 2.2 lb/year) as compared to those with stable weight/weight gain (p < 0.05). In multivariable analysis, spine BMD increase was significantly related to African American (AA) race, normal EDI score and normal menses. Hip BMD increase was related to AA race, weight increase and normal menses. DMPA use was associated with spine, hip, and calcaneus bone loss. Conclusion On average, BMD may modestly increase in college-aged women, in the absence of risk factors. However, risk factors including subclinical eating disorders, weight loss, menstrual dysfunction and DMPA use can have significant detrimental effects on BMD in young healthy physically active women.

General Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 145 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 338 EP - 355 SN - 00963445 AB - For over a decade, moral psychologists have been actively researching the processes underlying moral judgments that are made intuitively without reference to an action's concrete harms or injustice, such as the well-known case of nonprocreative, consensual incest. We suggest that the reason some judge such scenarios as wrong (using intuitive feelings) and others do not (using deliberative reasons) is due to an important motivational distinction. Consistent with this view, across 7 studies, we demonstrate that negative judgments of such moral scenarios are more intense when processed in the promotion focus compared to the prevention focus, and that this is due to differences in whether eager (intuitive feelings) versus vigilant (deliberative reasons) means are employed in judging these moral wrongs. By examining both boundary conditions and possible underlying mechanisms for regulatory focus differences in moral judgment intensity, we expand our understanding of the differences between promotion and prevention regarding how proscriptive judgments are processed, while integrating these differences with existing theories in moral psychology.

JO - Western Journal of Emergency Medicine: Integrating Emergency Care with Population Health JF - Western Journal of Emergency Medicine: Integrating Emergency Care with Population Health Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 17 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 222 EP - 228 SN - 1936900X AB - Introduction: This study compared the effects of vasopressin via tibial intraosseous (IO) and intravenous (IV) routes on maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the time to maximum concentration (Tmax), return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and time to ROSC in a hypovolemic cardiac arrest model. Methods: This study was a randomized prospective, between-subjects experimental design. A computer program randomly assigned 28 Yorkshire swine to one of four groups: IV (n=7), IO tibia (n=7), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) + defibrillation (n=7), and a control group that received just CPR (n=7). Ventricular fibrillation was induced, and subjects remained in arrest for two minutes. CPR was initiated and 40 units of vasopressin were administered via IO or IV routes. Blood samples were collected at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 minutes. CPR and defibrillation were initiated for 20 minutes or until ROSC was achieved. We measured vasopressin concentrations using highperformance liquid chromatography. Results: There was no significant difference between the IO and IV groups relative to achieving ROSC (p=1.0) but a significant difference between the IV compared to the CPR+ defibrillation group (p=0.031) and IV compared to the CPR-only group (p=0.001). There was a significant difference between the IO group compared to the CPR+ defibrillation group (p=0.031) and IO compared to the CPR-only group (p=0.001). There was no significant difference between the CPR + defibrillation group and the CPR group (p=0.127). There was no significant difference in Cmax between the IO and IV groups (p=0.079). The mean ± standard deviation of Cmax of the IO group was 58,709±25,463pg/mL compared to the IV group, which was 106,198±62,135pg/mL. There was no significant difference in mean Tmax between the groups (p=0.084). There were no significant differences in odds of ROSC between the tibial IO and IV groups. Conclusion: Prompt access to the vascular system using the IO route can circumvent the interruption in treatment observed with attempting conventional IV access. The IO route is an effective modality for the treatment of hypovolemic cardiac arrest and may be considered first line for rapid vascular access.

JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 307 M3 - Article SP - 435 EP - 442 SN - 03787753 AB - Transition metal fluorides (such as FeF 3 and FeF 2 ) based on conversion chemistry have been considered as a promising alternative to the intercalation cathode materials due to the high capacity and high energy density. However, the critical challenges for these materials come from the absence of Li source in them, and low power density and poor cycling stability. Herein, pre-lithiated FeF 3 with extremely small size of Fe and LiF nanoparticles (both ∼6 nm) homogeneously embedded in the carbon matrix were synthesized using a facile and scalable in situ strategy. Benefited from the ultra-small Fe and LiF nanoparticles, uniform distribution, and intimate contact between the active species and the carbon matrix, the particle-to-particle interfacial resistance and diffusion length for Li and F are dramatically reduced. As a result, a high specific capacity of over 400 mA h g −1 with a discharge energy density of ∼700 W h kg −1 and favorable cycling performance are achieved, making such composite a promising high-capacity cathode for LIBs. Furthermore, the built-in Li source in this composite renders it a drop-in replacement for cathode materials used in the current LIB configurations, thus paving the way for the practical applications in the next generation of high energy density LIBs.

JO - Toxicology Letters JF - Toxicology Letters Y1 - 2016/02/26/ VL - 244 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 27 SN - 03784274 AB - Phosgene (CG), a toxic inhalation and industrial hazard, causes bronchoconstriction, vasoconstriction and associated pathological effects that could be life threatening. Ion channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family have been identified to act as specific chemosensory molecules in the respiratory tract in the detection, control of adaptive responses and initiation of detrimental signaling cascades upon exposure to various toxic inhalation hazards (TIH); their activation due to TIH exposure may result in broncho- and vasoconstriction. We studied changes in the regulation of intracellular free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) in cultures of human bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMC) and human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMEC) exposed to CG (16 ppm, 8 min), using an air/liquid interface exposure system. CG increased [Ca 2+ ] i ( p < 0.05) in both cell types, The CG-induced [Ca 2+ ] i was blocked ( p < 0.05) by two types of TRP channel blockers, SKF-96365, a general TRP channel blocker, and RR, a general TRPV (vanilloid type) blocker, in both BSMC and HPMEC. These effects correlate with the in vivo efficacies of these compounds to protect against lung injury and 24 h lethality from whole body CG inhalation exposure in mice (8–10 ppm × 20 min). Thus the TRP channel mechanism appears to be a potential target for intervention in CG toxicity.

JO - Surface & Coatings Technology JF - Surface & Coatings Technology Y1 - 2016/02/25/ VL - 288 M3 - Article SP - 105 EP - 114 SN - 02578972 AB - NbN x layers were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on MgO(001) substrates in 0.67 Pa pure N 2 at T s = 600–1000 °C. T s ≥ 800 °C leads to epitaxial layers with a cube-on-cube relationship to the substrate: (001) NbN ||(001) MgO and [100] NbN ||[100] MgO . The layers are nearly stoichiometric with x = 0.95–0.98 for T s ≤ 800 °C, but become nitrogen deficient with x = 0.81 and 0.91 for T s = 900 and 1000 °C. X-ray diffraction reciprocal space maps indicate a small in-plane compressive strain of − 0.0008 ± 0.0004 for epitaxial layers, and a relaxed lattice constant that decreases from 4.372 Å for x = 0.81 to 4.363 Å for x = 0.98. This unexpected trend is attributed to increasing Nb and decreasing N vacancy concentrations, as quantified by first-principles calculations of the lattice parameter vs. point defect concentration, and consistent with the relatively small calculated formation energies for N and Nb vacancies of 1.00 and − 0.67 eV at 0 K and − 0.53 and 0.86 eV at 1073 K, respectively. The N-deficient NbN 0.81 (001) layer exhibits the highest crystalline quality with in-plane and out-of-plane x-ray coherence lengths of 4.5 and 13.8 nm, attributed to a high Nb-adatom diffusion on an N-deficient growth front. However, it also contains inclusions of hexagonal NbN grains which lead to a relatively high measured hardness H = 28.0 ± 5.1 GPa and elastic modulus E = 406 ± 70 GPa. In contrast, the nearly stoichiometric phase-pure epitaxial cubic NbN 0.98 (001) layer has a H = 17.8 ± 0.7 GPa and E = 315 ± 13 GPa. The latter value is slightly smaller than 335 and 361 GPa, the isotropic elastic modulus and the [100]-indentation modulus, respectively, predicted for NbN from the calculated c 11 = 641 GPa, c 12 = 140 GPa, and c 44 = 78 GPa. The electrical resistivity ranges from 171 to 437 μΩ cm at room temperature and 155–646 μΩ cm at 77 K, suggesting carrier localization due to disorder from vacancies and crystalline defects.

T1 - Integration of ecosystem-based models into an existing interactive web-based tool for improved aquaculture decision-making. JO - Aquaculture JF - Aquaculture Y1 - 2016/02/20/ VL - 453 M3 - Article SP - 135 EP - 146 SN - 00448486 AB - Proper site selection is critical to the development and expansion of marine aquaculture. Major considerations for site selection include: potential for competing uses, environmental interactions, and animal productivity. Two types of existing site selection tools, mapping and modeling, have proven useful independently, and in some recent studies have proven useful when used together. GIS-based mapping tools have become important in the decision-making process. These tools provide access to marine and coastal datasets allowing farmers and extension agents to gather information on availability of cultivation sites. They are also used by resource managers to assess potential use conflicts (e.g. existence of commercial fishing, mooring areas, fixed fishing gear) and possible environmental interactions (e.g. presence of seagrasses, contaminants, threatened or endangered species). Models have been used separately to predict animal growth, farm productivity, and farm-related effects on the surrounding water and sediment quality. The integration of the Farm Aquaculture Resource Management (FARM) model ( http://www.farmscale.org ) into the U.S. state of Connecticut's Aquaculture Mapping Atlas ( http://seagrant.uconn.edu/whatwedo/aquaculture/shellmap.php ) was tested in three geographically distinct waterbodies within Connecticut (CT) waters of Long Island Sound. Nearshore waters within the towns of Mystic, Milford, and Westport were selected as pilot locations to determine usability and capability of the combined tools. Data from two long-term offshore sampling stations adjacent to existing shellfish leases were used to test spatial and temporal sampling variability impacts on model results. Partnerships with local monitoring programs and growers were important for acquisition of water quality data, oyster measurement data, and information about local culture practices. All sites were deemed suitable for oyster aquaculture based on model results that predicted Moderate to High growth based on estimated time to reach harvest size from one in (2.54 cm) seed oysters ( Crassostrea virginica ). Time to harvest varied from 282 days (High growth) to 645 days (Moderate growth) among the 22 stations in the three nearshore sites, and 724–956 days (Moderate growth) at the two offshore sites. Results from the two long-term offshore stations indicate that data from the same year must be used when comparing production-based suitability of sites. Addition of potential production estimates improved the ability to select between suitable mapping-based sites. This mapping and modeling combination should be encouraged to provide a strong basis for successful siting and expansion of aquaculture while minimizing user conflict and adverse environmental interactions. This approach may be particularly useful in waterbodies where shellfish aquaculture is possible but is not well established.

Platelets mediate intercellular adhesion and thrombosis during vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia, which suggests a role for antiplatelet agents in modifying disease events.Methods: Children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age with sickle cell anemia were randomly assigned to receive oral prasugrel or placebo for 9 to 24 months. The primary end point was the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome. The secondary end points were the rate of sickle cell-related pain and the intensity of pain, which were assessed daily with the use of pain diaries.Results: A total of 341 patients underwent randomization at 51 sites in 13 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The rate of vaso-occlusive crisis events per person-year was 2.30 in the prasugrel group and 2.77 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.05; P=0.12). There were no significant differences between the groups in the secondary end points of diary-reported events. The safety end points, including the frequency of bleeding events requiring medical intervention, of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic adverse events that occurred while patients were taking prasugrel or placebo, and of discontinuations due to prasugrel or placebo, did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusions: Among children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis was not significantly lower among those who received prasugrel than among those who received placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in the safety findings. (Funded by Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01794000.).

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/02/15/ VL - 145 M3 - Article SP - 376 EP - 383 SN - 00456535 AB - PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) oxidation (0.121–6.04 μM) by heat-activated persulfate was evaluated at 20–60 °C with 4.2–84 mM S 2 O 8 2 − and in the presence of soluble fuel components to assess feasibility for in-situ remediation of groundwater. 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid/sulfonate (6:2 FTSA) and PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) persulfate oxidation was also evaluated in a subset of conditions given their co-occurrence at many sites. High performance liquid chromatography electron spray tandem mass spectrometry was used for organic analysis and fluoride was measured using a fluoride-specific electrode. PFOA pseudo-1st order transformation rates ( k 1,PFOA ) increased with increasing temperature (half-lives from 0.1 to 7 d for 60 to 30 °C) sequentially removing CF 2 groups (‘unzipping’) to shorter chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and F − . At 50 °C, a 5-fold increase in S 2 O 8 2 − led to a 5-fold increase in k 1,PFOA after which self-scavenging by sulfate radicals decreased the relative rate of increase with more S 2 O 8 2 − . Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene did not affect k 1,PFOA even at 40 times higher molar concentrations than PFOA. A modeling approach to explore pathways strongly supported that for 6:2 FTSA, both the ethyl linkage and CF 2 –CH 2 bond of 6:2 FTSA oxidize simultaneously, resulting in a ratio of ∼25/75 PFHpA/PFHxA. The effectiveness of heat-activated S 2 O 8 2 − on PFOA oxidation was reduced in a soil slurry; therefore, repeated persulfate injections are required to efficiently achieve complete oxidation in the field. However, PFOS remained unaltered even at higher activation temperatures, thus limiting the sole use of heat-activated persulfate for perfluoroalkyl substances removal in the field.

Twenty-eight male, active duty soldiers walked on an instrumented treadmill while external force data and kinematics were recorded. A rigid body model was used to estimate joint moments and reaction forces. A musculoskeletal model was used to gather muscle length, muscle velocity, moment arm and orientation information. Optimization procedures were used to estimate muscle forces and finally internal bone forces and moments were applied to an inhomogeneous, subject specific bone model obtained from CT scans to estimate stress in the bone cross section. Validity was assessed by comparison to stresses calculated from strain gage data in the literature and sensitivity was investigated using two simplified versions of the bone model-a homogeneous model and an ellipse approximation. Peak compressive stress occurred on the posterior aspect of the cross section (−47.5±14.9 MPa). Peak tensile stress occurred on the anterior aspect (27.0±11.7 MPa) while the location of peak shear was variable between subjects (7.2±2.4 MPa). Peak compressive, tensile and shear stresses were within 0.52 MPa, 0.36 MPa and 3.02 MPa respectively of those calculated from the converted strain gage data. Peak values from a inhomogeneous model of the bone correlated well with homogeneous model (normal: 0.99; shear: 0.94) as did the normal ellipse model ( r =0.89–0.96). However, the relationship between shear stress in the inhomogeneous model and ellipse model was less accurate ( r =0.64). The procedures detailed in this paper provide a non-invasive and relatively quick method of estimating cross sectional stress that holds promise for assessing injury and osteogenic stimulus in bone during normal physical activity.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2016/02/02/ VL - 50 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1544 EP - 1551 SN - 0013936X AB - This study provides the first evaluation of the cytotoxic effects of the recently identified palytoxin (PLTX) analog, ovatoxin-a (OVTX-a), the major toxin produced by Ostreopsis cf. ovata in the Mediterranean Sea. Its increasing detection during Ostreopsis blooms and in seafood highlights the need to characterize its toxic effects and to set up appropriate detection methods. OVTX-a is about 100 fold less potent than PLTX in reducing HaCaT cells viability (EC50 = 1.1 ? 10-9 M vs 1.8 ? 10-11 M, MTT test) in agreement with a reduced binding affinity (Kd = 1.2 ? 10-9 vs 2.7 ? 10-11 M, saturation experiments on intact cells). Similarly, OVTX-a hemolytic effect is lower than that of the reference PLTX compound. Ost-D shows the lowest cytotoxicity toward HaCaT keratinocytes, suggesting the lack of a hydroxyl group at C44 as a critical feature for PLTXs cytotoxic effects. A sandwich ELISA developed for PLTX detects also OVTX-a in a sensitive (LOD = 4.2 and LOQ = 5.6 ng/mL) and accurate manner (Bias = 0.3%), also in O. cf. ovata extracts and contaminated mussels. Although in vitro OVTX-a appears less toxic than PLTX, its cytotoxicity at nanomolar concentrations after short exposure time rises some concern for human health. The sandwich ELISA can be a viable screening method for OVTXs detection in monitoring program.

JO - Adsorption Science & Technology JF - Adsorption Science & Technology Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 34 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 41 SN - 02636174 AB - The primary goal of the eighth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in activated carbon materials. The challenge focused on the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the activated carbon standard BAM-P109. Entrants were challenged to predict the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the activated carbon at a temperature of 273 K and at relative pressures of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6. The relative pressure (P/Po) is defined as that relative to the bulk saturation pressure predicted by the fluid model at a given temperature (273 K in this case). The predictions were judged by comparison to a set of experimentally determined values, which are published here for the first time and were not disclosed to the entrants prior to the challenge. Benchmark experimental studies, described herein, were also carried out and provided to entrants in order to aid in the development of new force fields and simulation methods to be employed in the challenge. These studies included argon, carbon dioxide, and water adsorption in the BAM-P109 activated carbon as well as X-ray diffraction, X-ray microtomography, photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic emission spectroscopy studies of BAM-P109. Several concurrent studies were carried out for the BAM-P108 activated carbon. These are included in the current manuscript for comparison.

However, there is no consolidated database which includes data from several sources. In this study, a consolidated database was created on tests conducted with wheeled vehicles operating in loose dry sand to evaluate existing soil mobility algorithms. The database included wheels of different diameters, widths, heights, and inflation pressures, operating under varying loading conditions. Nine technical reports were identified containing 5253 records, based on existing archives of laboratory and field tests of wheels operating in loose soils. The database structure was assembled to include traction performance parameters such as drawbar pull, torque, traction, motion resistance, sinkage, and wheel slip. Once developed, the database was used to evaluate and support validation of closed form solutions for these variables in the Vehicle Terrain Interface ( VTI ) model. The correlation between predicted and measured traction performance parameters was evaluated. Comparison of the predicted versus measured performance parameters suggests that the closed form solutions within the VTI model are functional but can be further improved to provide more accurate predictions for off-road vehicle performance.

Rats orally exposed to NTO have demonstrated testicular toxicity in both subacute and subchronic studies; however, toxicity has not been verified in mice. Also, previous studies have not demonstrated the nature of NTO-induced testicular toxicity due to the prolonged dosing regimen utilized and effects of maturation depletion. In this study, a time-course design was used and the earliest pathological changes in testes of adult BALB/c mice orally dosed with NTO in corn oil suspensions at 0, 500 or 1000 mg/kg-day NTO for 1, 3, 7 or 14 d were evaluated. The earliest NTO-induced testicular changes occurred in the 1000 mg/kg-day group at day 7 and the 500 mg/kg-day group at day 14 as evident by the presence of bi- and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) of almost all spermatids in an isolated stage II–III tubule/step 2–3 and a stage IX tubule/step 9 in the 1000 and 500 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Testicular toxicity was characterized by degeneration and the presence of bi- and MNGCs of spermatids (stages II–III and IX), which progressed to additional germ cell degeneration as dosing duration increased. Occasional step 16 spermatid retention was also noted in stage XII and I tubules in the day 14, 1000 mg/kg-day group. These data indicate that NTO is a testicular toxicant in mice and that spermatids are the most sensitive cell. The presence of retained spermatids warrants further investigation regarding NTO’s role as a direct Sertoli cell toxicant.

Three general habitats were surveyed: grasses (grasses and herbaceous and crawling vegetation), forests (pine, larch, deciduous, and mixed), and forests+grasses. A total of 27,029 ticks (1,534 adults; 11,755 nymphs; 13,740 larvae) belonging to three genera and five species were collected. Haemaphysalis longicornis (64.76%; 17,504) was the most commonly collected tick, followed by Haemaphysalis flava (29.22%; 7,899), Ixodes nipponensis (5.83%; 1,575), Amblyomma testudinarium (0.17%; 46), and Haemaphysalis phasiana (0.02%; 5). Overall, adult ticks accounted for only 5.68% of all ticks collected, while nymphs and larvae accounted for 43.49% and 50.83%, respectively. Haemaphysalis longicornis nymphs were commonly collected from April-June, followed by increased numbers of adults from June-August, and large numbers of larvae from August-September, while low numbers of all stages were collected during October. Haemaphysalis flava adults and nymphs were commonly collected from April-June and September-October, while large numbers of larvae were collected from July-August. Although fewer I. nipponensis were collected, seasonal developmental stage patterns followed those of H. flava. Similar proportions of males (47.96%) and females (52.04%) of H. flava were collected. However, the proportion of H. longicornis females (85.83%) collected was significantly higher than for males (14.17%), while the proportion of I. nipponensis males (57.62%) was significantly higher than for females (42.38%). Overall, the mean number of ticks collected/hour of collection was highest for forests+grasses (108.54), followed by grasses (97.28) and forests (66.64).

Nautical depth defines a safe and effective channel bottom criterion in areas where fluid mud confounds conventional acoustic (echo sounder) surveying methods. Fluid mud is a high-concentration suspension that typically behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid. It occurs in ports and channels on all U. S. coastlines and accounts for a significant portion of the United States' $1 billion dredging expense. Nautical depth has been adopted in multiple ports on three continents. Where nautical depth application is appropriate, it often reduces dredging frequency and dredged material volume and can provide water quality benefits. Multiple experiments and field experience have shown that vessels can safely transit areas with fluid mud below the keel. The United States' adoption of the nautical depth concept for select ports and waterways can be expected to reduce dredging frequency and volumes. It offers potential economic and environmental benefits but will require a consensus among federal, state, and local organizations with responsibilities for constructing, operating, maintaining, marking, and using navigable waterways.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 144 M3 - Article SP - 1249 EP - 1255 SN - 00456535 AB - NTO (3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one) is one of the new explosive compounds used in insensitive munitions (IM) developed to replace traditional explosives, TNT and RDX. Data on NTO fate and transport is needed to determine its environmental behavior and potential for groundwater contamination. We conducted a series of kinetic and equilibrium batch experiments to characterize the fate of NTO in soils and the effect of soil geochemical properties on NTO-soil interactions. A set of experiments was also conducted using sterilized soils to evaluate the contribution of biodegradation to NTO attenuation. Measured pH values for NTO solutions decreased from 5.98 ± 0.13 to 3.50 ± 0.06 with increase in NTO concentration from 0.78 to 100 mg L −1 . Conversely, the pH of soil suspensions was not significantly affected by NTO in this concentration range. NTO experienced minimal adsorption, with measured adsorption coefficients being less than 1 cm 3 g −1 for all studied soils. There was a highly significant inverse relationship between the measured NTO adsorption coefficients and soil pH (P = 0.00011), indicating the role of NTO and soil charge in adsorption processes. In kinetic experiments, 1st order transformation rate constant estimates ranged between 0.0004 h −1 and 0.0142 h −1 (equivalent to half-lives of 72 and 2 d, respectively), and correlated positively with organic carbon in the soil. Total attenuation of NTO was higher in untreated versus sterilized samples, suggesting that NTO was being biodegraded. The information presented herein can be used to help evaluate NTO potential for natural attenuation in soils.

JO - Biological Psychology JF - Biological Psychology Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 114 M3 - Article SP - 93 EP - 107 SN - 03010511 AB - In this study we explored the potential for capturing the behavioral dynamics observed in real-world tasks from concurrent measures of EEG. In doing so, we sought to develop models of behavior that would enable the identification of common cross-participant and cross-task EEG features. To accomplish this we had participants perform both simulated driving and guard duty tasks while we recorded their EEG. For each participant we developed models to estimate their behavioral performance during both tasks. Sequential forward floating selection was used to identify the montage of independent components for each model. Linear regression was then used on the combined power spectra from these independent components to generate a continuous estimate of behavior. Our results show that oscillatory processes, evidenced in EEG, can be used to successfully capture slow fluctuations in behavior in complex, multi-faceted tasks. The average correlation coefficients between the actual and estimated behavior was 0.548 ± 0.117 and 0.701 ± 0.154 for the driving and guard duty tasks respectively. Interestingly, through a simple clustering approach we were able to identify a number of common components, both neural and eye-movement related, across participants and tasks. We used these component clusters to quantify the relative influence of common versus participant-specific features in the models of behavior. These findings illustrate the potential for estimating complex behavioral dynamics from concurrent measures from EEG using a finite library of universal features.

JO - Vision Research JF - Vision Research Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 119 M3 - journal article SP - 50 EP - 59 SN - 00426989 AB - This paper introduces the "hybrid foraging" paradigm. In typical visual search tasks, observers search for one instance of one target among distractors. In hybrid search, observers search through visual displays for one instance of any of several types of target held in memory. In foraging search, observers collect multiple instances of a single target type from visual displays. Combining these paradigms, in hybrid foraging tasks observers search visual displays for multiple instances of any of several types of target (as might be the case in searching the kitchen for dinner ingredients or an X-ray for different pathologies). In the present experiment, observers held 8-64 target objects in memory. They viewed displays of 60-105 randomly moving photographs of objects and used the computer mouse to collect multiple targets before choosing to move to the next display. Rather than selecting at random among available targets, observers tended to collect items in runs of one target type. Reaction time (RT) data indicate searching again for the same item is more efficient than searching for any other targets, held in memory. Observers were trying to maximize collection rate. As a result, and consistent with optimal foraging theory, they tended to leave 25-33% of targets uncollected when moving to the next screen/patch. The pattern of RTs shows that while observers were collecting a target item, they had already begun searching memory and the visual display for additional targets, making the hybrid foraging task a useful way to investigate the interaction of visual and memory search.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 55 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 SN - 00913286 AB - Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching has distinct advantages over reactive ion etching in that the etching rates are considerably higher, the uniformity is much better, and the sidewalls of the etched material are highly anisotropic due to the higher plasma density and lower operating pressure. Therefore, ICP etching is a promising process for pattern transfer required during microelectronic and optoelectronic fabrication. Resonator--quantum well infrared photodetectors (R-QWIPs) are the next generation of QWIP detectors that use resonances to increase the quantum efficiency (QE). To fabricate R-QWIP focal plane arrays (FPAs), two optimized ICP etching processes are developed. Using these etching techniques, we have fabricated R-QWIP FPAs of several different formats and pixel sizes with the required dimensions and completely removed the substrates of the FPAs. Their QE spectra were tested to be 30 to 40%. The operability and spectral nonuniformity of the FPA is ~99.5 and 3%, respectively.

Herein, we report a bridging coligand strategy to prepare new types of polyMOFs, demonstrating that polyMOFs are compatible with additional MOF architectures besides that of the earlier reported IRMOF-1 type polyMOF. Gas sorption studies revealed that these polyMOF materials exhibited relatively high CO2 sorption but very low N2 sorption, making them promising materials for CO2/N2 separations. Moreover, these polyMOFs demonstrated exceptional water stability attributed to the hydrophobicity of polymer ligands as well as the cross-linking of the polymer chains within the MOF.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2016/01/27/ VL - 654 M3 - Article SP - 236 EP - 248 SN - 09215093 AB - In this work, experiments were conducted to quantify structure-property relations of low-cycle fatigue behavior of dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) of AA6061-to-AA7050 high strength aluminum alloys. In addition, a microstructure-sensitive fatigue model is employed to further elucidate cause-effect relationships. Experimental strain-controlled fatigue testing revealed an increase in the cyclic strain hardening and the number-of cycles to failure as the tool rotational speed was increased. At higher applied strain amplitudes (>0.3%), the corresponding stress amplitude increased and the plastic strain amplitude decreased, as the number of cycles increased. However, at 0.2% strain amplitude, the plastic strain decreased until it was almost negligible. Inspection of the hysteresis loops demonstrated that at low strain amplitudes, there was an initial stage of strain hardening that increased until it reached a maximum strain hardening level, afterwards a nearly perfect elastic behavior was observed. Under fully-reversed fatigue loading, all samples failed at the region between the heat-affected and thermomechanically-affected zones. Inspection of the fractured surfaces under scanning electron microscopy revealed that the cracks initiated at either the crown or the root surface of the weld, and from secondary intermetallic particles located near the free surface of the weld. Lastly, a microstructure-sensitive multistage fatigue model was employed to correlate the fatigue life of the dissimilar FSW of AA6061-to-AA7050 considering microstructural features such as grain size, intermetallic particles and mechanical properties.

A series of tests at ambient temperature, including uniaxial monotonic (tension and compression) at different strain rates and uniaxial fully-reversed strain-controlled cyclic tests at strain amplitudes ranging from 0.02 mm/mm to 0.04 mm/mm at various frequencies, were conducted. The frequency influence on the strain-controlled fatigue lives of unfilled PEEK specimens was found to be highly dependent on the strain level. A minimal frequency effect was observed at a lower strain amplitude of 0.02 mm/mm, whereas increasing the test frequency at higher strain amplitudes resulted in longer fatigue lives. Additionally, load-controlled cyclic tests that utilized applied loads corresponding to stress responses obtained from the strain-controlled fatigue tests were performed. The cyclic behavior under the two control modes were compared and discussed. Three types of fatigue models, including a strain-based (Coffin–Manson) model, a strain–stress-based (Smith–Watson–Topper) model, and an energy-based model, were employed to correlate the data in this study. Among the three fatigue models, the energy approach was found to better correlate the PEEK experimental data at various frequencies.

JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2016/01/20/ VL - 34 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 424 EP - 429 SN - 0264410X AB - Rift Valley fever (RVF) poses a risk as a potential agent in bioterrorism or agroterrorism. A live attenuated RVF vaccine (RVF MP-12) has been shown to be safe and protective in animals and showed promise in two initial clinical trials. In the present study, healthy adult human volunteers ( N = 56) received a single injection of (a) RVF MP-12, administered subcutaneously (SQ) at a concentration of 10 4.7 plaque-forming units (pfu) (SQ Group); (b) RVF MP-12, administered intramuscularly (IM) at 10 3.4 pfu (IM Group 1); (c) RVF MP-12, administered IM at 10 4.4 pfu (IM Group 2); or (d) saline (Placebo Group). The vaccine was well tolerated by volunteers in all dose and route groups. Infrequent and minor adverse events were seen among recipients of both placebo and RVF MP-12. One subject had viremia detectable by direct plaque assay, and six subjects from IM Group 2 had transient low-titer viremia detectable only by nucleic acid amplification. Of the 43 vaccine recipients, 40 (93%) achieved neutralizing antibodies (measured as an 80% plaque reduction neutralization titer [PRNT 80 ]) as well as RVF-specific IgM and IgG. The highest peak geometric mean PRNT 80 titers were observed in IM Group 2. Of 34 RVF MP-12 recipients available for testing 1 year following inoculation, 28 (82%) remained seropositive (PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20); this included 20 of 23 vaccinees (87%) from IM Group 2. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine was safe and immunogenic at the doses and routes studied. Given the need for an effective vaccine against RVF virus, further evaluation in humans is warranted.

JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2016/01/20/ VL - 34 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 523 EP - 530 SN - 0264410X AB - An outbreak or deliberate release of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus could have serious public health and socioeconomic consequences. A safe RVF vaccine capable of eliciting long-lasting immunity after a single injection is urgently needed. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine candidate has shown promise in Phase 1 clinical trials; no evidence of reversion to virulence has been identified in numerous animal studies. The objective of this Phase 2 clinical trial was to (a) further examine the safety and immunogenicity of RVF MP-12 in RVF virus–naïve humans and (b) characterize isolates of RVF MP-12 virus recovered from the blood of vaccinated subjects to evaluate the genetic stability of MP-12 attenuation. We found that RVF MP-12 was well tolerated, causing mostly mild reactions that resolved without sequelae. Of 19 subjects, 18 (95%) and 19 (100%) achieved, respectively, 80% and 50% plaque reduction neutralization titers (PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ) ≥ 1:20 by postvaccination day 28. All 18 PRNT 80 responders maintained PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ≥ 1:40 until at least postvaccination month 12. Viremia was undetectable in the plasma of any subject by direct plaque assay techniques. However, 5 of 19 vaccinees were positive for MP-12 isolates in plasma by blind passage of plasma on Vero cells. Vaccine virus was also recovered from buffy coat material from one of those vaccinees and from one additional vaccinee. Through RNA sequencing of MP-12 isolates, we found no reversions of amino acids to those of the parent virulent virus (strain ZH548). Five years after a single dose of RVF MP-12 vaccine, 8 of 9 vaccinees (89%) maintained a PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20. These findings support the continued development of RVF MP-12 as a countermeasure against RVF virus in humans.

Specifically, oxalic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used as additives to promote the conversion of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) into a one-dimensional TiO 2 morphology. All resultant products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Influential factors on the growth mechanisms of TiO 2 nanorods are discussed. This approach contrasts the typical approach of using spherical TiO 2 as a starting material in the fabrication of one-dimensional TiO 2 structures, and instead allows for the direct synthesis of TiO 2 nanorods from TTIP precursors.

JO - Journal of Neurotrauma JF - Journal of Neurotrauma Y1 - 2016/01/15/ VL - 33 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 203 EP - 214 SN - 08977151 AB - Head computed tomography (CT) imaging is still a commonly obtained diagnostic test for patients with minor head injury despite availability of clinical decision rules to guide imaging use and recommendations to reduce radiation exposure resulting from unnecessary imaging. This prospective multicenter observational study of 251 patients with suspected mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) evaluated three serum biomarkers' (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 [UCH-L1] and S100B measured within 6 h of injury) ability to differentiate CT negative and CT positive findings. Of the 251 patients, 60.2% were male and 225 (89.6%) had a presenting Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. A positive head CT (intracranial injury) was found in 36 (14.3%). UCH-L1 was 100% sensitive and 39% specific at a cutoff value >40 pg/mL. To retain 100% sensitivity, GFAP was 0% specific (cutoff value 0 pg/mL) and S100B had a specificity of only 2% (cutoff value 30 pg/mL). All three biomarkers had similar values for areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve: 0.79 (95% confidence interval; 0.70-0.88) for GFAP, 0.80 (0.71-0.89) for UCH-L1, and 0.75 (0.65-0.85) for S100B. Neither GFAP nor UCH-L1 curve values differed significantly from S100B ( p = 0.21 and p = 0.77, respectively). In our patient cohort, UCH-L1 outperformed GFAP and S100B when the goal was to reduce CT use without sacrificing sensitivity. UCH-L1 values <40 pg/mL could potentially have aided in eliminating 83 of the 215 negative CT scans. These results require replication in other studies before the test is used in actual clinical practice.

Here we discuss an improved docking protocol named XPairIt which uses a multitier approach, combining thePyRosettadocking software with theNAMDmolecular dynamics package through a biomolecular simulation programming interface written in Python. This protocol is designed for systems where noa prioriinformation of ligand structure (beyond sequence) or binding location is known. It provides for efficient incorporation of both ligand and target flexibility, is HPC-ready and is easily extensible for use of custom code. We apply this protocol to a set of 11 test cases drawn from benchmarking databases and from previously published studies for direct comparison with existing protocols.

JO - Journal of Hazardous Materials JF - Journal of Hazardous Materials Y1 - 2016/01/15/ VL - 301 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 34 SN - 03043894 AB - Adsorption is an effective means to selectively remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial gas streams and is particularly of use for gas streams that exhibit highly variable daily concentrations of VOCs. Adsorption of such gas streams by activated carbon fiber cloths (ACFCs) and subsequent controlled desorption can provide gas streams of well-defined concentration that can then be more efficiently treated by biofiltration than streams exhibiting large variability in concentration. In this study, we passed VOC-containing gas through an ACFC vessel for adsorption and then desorption in a concentration-controlled manner via electrothermal heating. Set-point concentrations (40–900 ppm v ) and superficial gas velocity (6.3–9.9 m/s) were controlled by a data acquisition and control system. The results of the average VOC desorption, desorption factor and VOC in-and-out ratio were calculated and compared for various gas set-point concentrations and superficial gas velocities. Our results reveal that desorption is strongly dependent on the set-point concentration and that the VOC desorption rate can be successfully equalized and controlled via an electrothermal adsorption system.

The production of PDLs leads to void growth and particle decoherence. In this work we use dislocation dynamics simulations to characterize two mechanisms for PDL formation. The first mechanism corresponds to a classical model of PDL generation from dislocation nucleation. The second mechanism considers PDL generation through cross-slip of a screw dislocation intersecting the particle. We systematically study the effect of the crystal lattice and defect type on PDL generation for both mechanisms as a function of pressure. The simulations show image stresses produced by the dislocation's interaction with the free surface of a void suppresses PDL generation. The highest PDL generation rates are found for a dislocation nucleated from a void in a body-centered cubic lattice. Our simulations also show helical coiling of screw dislocations produces a continuous emission of PDLs without the need for dislocation nucleation at pressures as low as 1.0 GPa.

JO - Analytica Chimica Acta JF - Analytica Chimica Acta Y1 - 2016/01/15/ VL - 903 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 00032670 AB - Palytoxin (PLTX) is a complex marine toxin produced by zoanthids (i.e. Palythoa ), dinoflagellates ( Ostreopsis ) and cyanobacteria ( Trichodesmium ). PLTX outbreaks are usually associated with Indo-Pacific waters, however their recent repeated occurrence in Mediterranean–European Atlantic coasts demonstrate their current worldwide distribution. Human sickness and fatalities have been associated with toxic algal blooms and ingestion of seafood contaminated with PLTX-like molecules. These toxins represent a serious threat to human health. There is an immediate need to develop easy-to-use, rapid detection methods due to the lack of validated protocols for their detection and quantification. We have developed an immuno-detection method for PLTX-like molecules based on the use of microspheres coupled to flow-cytometry detection (Luminex 200™). The assay consisted of the competition between free PLTX-like compounds in solution and PLTX immobilized on the surface of microspheres for binding to a specific monoclonal anti-PLTX antibody. This method displays an IC 50 of 1.83 ± 0.21 nM and a dynamic range of 0.47–6.54 nM for PLTX. An easy-to-perform extraction protocol, based on a mixture of methanol and acetate buffer, was applied to spiked mussel samples providing a recovery rate of 104 ± 8% and a range of detection from 374 ± 81 to 4430 ± 150 μg kg −1 when assayed with this method. Extracts of Ostreopsis cf. siamensis and Palythoa tuberculosa were tested and yielded positive results for PLTX-like molecules. However, the data obtained for the coral sample suggested that this antibody did not detect 42-OH-PLTX efficiently. The same samples were further analyzed using a neuroblastoma cytotoxicity assay and UPLC-IT-TOF spectrometry, which also pointed to the presence of PLTX-like compounds. Therefore, this single detection method for PLTX provides a semi-quantitative tool useful for the screening of PLTX-like molecules in different matrixes.

Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can support early decisions for emerging technologies when data is too sparse or uncertain for traditional risk assessment. It does this by integrating expert judgment with available quantitative and qualitative inputs across multiple criteria to provide relative technology scores. Here, an MCDA framework provides preliminary insights on the suitability of emerging technologies for environmental remediation by comparing nanotechnology and synthetic biology to conventional remediation methods. Subject matter experts provided judgments regarding the importance of criteria used in the evaluations and scored the technologies with respect to those criteria. The results indicate that synthetic biology may be preferred over nanotechnology and conventional methods for high expected benefits and low deployment costs but that conventional technology may be preferred over emerging technologies for reduced risks and development costs. In the absence of field data regarding the risks, benefits, and costs of emerging technologies, structuring evidence-based expert judgment through a weighted hierarchy of topical questions may be helpful to inform preliminary risk governance and guide emerging technology development and policy.

JO - International Journal of Damage Mechanics JF - International Journal of Damage Mechanics Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 98 EP - 114 SN - 10567895 AB - Calcium silicate hydrate Jennite is a molecular structure commonly accepted as a representation of the complex calcium silicate hydrate gel formed during the hydration of typical Portland cement. In this paper, the behavior of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite under shear deformation was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Computational samples representing the nanoscale structure of calcium silicate hydrate Jennite were subjected to shear deformation in order to investigate not only their mechanical properties but also their deformation behavior. The simulation results indicated that the nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite under shear deformation displays a linear elastic behavior up to shear stress of approximately 1.0 GPa, and shear deformation of about 0.08 radians, after which point yielding and plastic deformation occurs. The shear modulus determined from the simulations was 11.2 ± 0.7 GPa. The deformation-induced displacements in molecular structures were analyzed dividing the system in regions representing calcium oxide layers. The displacement/deformation of the layers of calcium oxide forming the structure of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite was analyzed. The non-linear stress–strain behavior in the molecular structure was attributed to a non-linear increase in the displacement due to sliding of the calcium oxide layers on top of each other with higher shearing. These results support the idea that by controlling the chemical reactions, the tailored morphologies can be used to increase the interlinking between the calcium oxide layers, thus minimizing the shearing of the layers and leading to molecular structures that can withstand larger deformation and have improved failure behavior.

JO - Journal of Medicinal Food JF - Journal of Medicinal Food Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 47 EP - 53 SN - 1096620X AB - Phytonutrients have rapidly emerged as natural food chemicals possessing multifaceted biological actions that may support beneficial health outcomes. Among the vast array of phytonutrients currently being studied, sulforaphane, curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol have been frequently reported to stimulate the expression of endogenous detoxification enzymes and may thereby facilitate the neutralization of otherwise harmful environmental agents. Some of these same phytonutrients, however, have also been implicated in disrupting normal cell proliferation and hence may possess toxic properties in and of themselves. In this study, we characterize the respective minimum threshold concentrations of the aforementioned phytonutrients in Hepa1c1c7 cells that stimulate NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), a key enzyme in the hepatic neutralization of menadione, other biological oxidants, and some environmental carcinogens. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that relatively low concentrations of either sulforaphane or curcumin significantly ( P < .05) increase NQO1 protein expression and activity without triggering G2/M cell cycle arrest or mitotic catastrophe. The minimal quercetin concentration inducing NQO1, however, was 100-fold higher than that which disrupted mitosis. Also, while resveratrol modestly stimulated NQO1, the minimally effective resveratrol concentration concomitantly induced evidence of cellular apoptosis. Taken together, these findings indicate that only particular phytonutrients are likely efficacious in upregulating NQO1 activity without also leading to hepatic cytotoxicity.

The decision support system is composed of a reservoir system simulation model, an ecological model, and two river hydraulics models. The reservoir model simulated current operations at 73 reservoirs and flows at locations of interest in the Connecticut River watershed. Regulated flows from the reservoir model were compared with unregulated flows, both statistically and spatially, for a suite of environmental flow metrics based on inundation patterns related to floodplain vegetation communities. Analyses demonstrate use of the decision support system and show how its use illuminates (1) trends in existing hydrologic alteration for the Connecticut River mainstem and one of its tributaries, the Farmington River, and (2) management scenarios that might have ecological benefits for floodplain plant communities. The decision support system was used to test two management scenarios to assess potential floodplain benefits and associated trade-offs in hydropower generation and flood risk. The process described shows the usefulness of large-scale reservoir management decision support systems that incorporate environmental considerations in assisting with watershed planning and environmental flow implementation.

Participants decreased peak hip (P = 0.002), and knee flexion (P = 0.007) posture, but did not increase hip (P = 0.796), knee (P = 0.427) or ankle (P = 0.161) energy absorption, despite exhibiting greater peak hip (P = 0.003) and knee (P = 0.001) flexion, and ankle (P = 0.003) dorsiflexion angular impulse when landing with additional load. Yet, when landing with the light and medium loads, greater hip (R(2) = 0.500, P = 0.003 and R(2) = 0.314, P = 0.030) and knee (R(2) = 0.431, P = 0.008 and R(2) = 0.342, P = 0.022) flexion posture predicted larger knee joint energy absorption. Thus, military training that promotes hip and knee flexion, and subsequently greater energy absorption during landing, may potentially reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and optimize soldier performance.

JO - Journal of Thermal Spray Technology JF - Journal of Thermal Spray Technology Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 25 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 159 SN - 10599630 AB - This paper presents a novel method for joining cast ZE41A-T5 Mg to wrought 6061-T6 Al, without forming deleterious, coarse intermetallic compounds, which is not currently possible with conventional technologies. The novel aspect of the process includes the development of a joint design using cold spray (CS) as the enabling technology, to produce a transitional layer onto which a conventional welding technique can be employed to join the two dissimilar materials. The emphasis in this study will be on the CS transitional layer (T-layer) which enables the joining of cast ZE41A-T5 magnesium (Mg) and wrought 6061-T6 aluminum (Al) by friction-stir welding and the subsequent materials characterization to show the structural integrity of the entire joint. In order to join Mg and Al plates by this method, a transitional layer of CS Al is first deposited along the edge of cast ZE41A Mg plate. The CS Al T-layer enables the Mg to be friction stir welded to a plate of wrought 6061 Al, thereby completing the Mg plate to Al plate joint. Friction stir welding was chosen in this study to join the CS Al T-layer to the wrought Al plate; however, other conventional welding techniques could also be employed for joining Mg to Al in this manner. The CS Al T-layer is compatible to the wrought 6061 Al plate and serves as an insulating layer that prevents heat generated during the friction stir welding process from extending into the magnesium, thus preventing the formation of intermetallics. In this study, two sets of samples were produced joining cast ZE41A-T5 magnesium (Mg) and wrought 6061-T6 aluminum: one set using CS 6061 Al as the transition material between the ZE41A Mg plate and 6061 Al plate and the other set using CS 5056 Al as the transition material. Microstructural analysis by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy, along with mechanical test results including triple lug shear, tension, and micro hardness will be presented. Comparisons will be made to conventional joining techniques and the importance, as well as the applications of this technique, will be discussed.

JO - Cleveland State Law Review JF - Cleveland State Law Review Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 64 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 82 SN - 00098876 AB - Arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) is the most important topic in current contract law and commentary. The Supreme Court has issued eight merits decisions construing the FAA since 2011, the lower state and federal courts issued more than 1,000 decisions considering the FAA in 2014, and there were 81 fulllength articles, notes, and comments on arbitration in the same year. Recently, three commentators, Professor Margaret Jane Radin of the University of Michigan Law School, Professor Nancy S. Kim of the California Western School of Law, and former Lecturer in Law James P. Dawson of the Yale Law School, have proposed the use of an expanded economic duress defense to help consumers combat unfair pre-dispute arbitration agreements. This Article summarizes each commentator's position and identifies my concerns. While such arbitration clauses can sometimes be unfair, all three proposals are flawed on numerous grounds. The primary problem is that the authors' revised duress doctrines draw unworkable distinctions between improper coercion of offerees and legitimate bargaining techniques in a free market society. My analysis is the first in the legal literature that comprehensively discusses the connection between the economic duress defense generally and FAA arbitration specifically. As I will demonstrate, the two subject areas emphasize freedom of contract as they promote the necessary certainty and predictability of contractual relations. Thus, they accomplish the proper balance between binding the buyer to the arbitral process he agreed to in the contract and prohibiting the seller from enforcing a bargain if he procured it through unduly coercive tactics.

This approach requires the development of a pair of propositions: one aligned to the prosecution case and one to the defense case. This note explores the issue of proposition setting in an adversarial environment by a series of examples. A set of guidelines generalize how to formulate propositions when there is a single person of interest and when there are multiple individuals of interest. Additional explanations cover how to handle multiple defense propositions, relatives, and the transition from subsource level to activity level propositions. The propositions depend on case information and the allegations of each of the parties. The prosecution proposition is usually known. The authors suggest that a sensible proposition is selected for the defense that is consistent with their stance, if available, and consistent with a realistic defense if their position is not known.

JO - Particle & Particle Systems Characterization JF - Particle & Particle Systems Characterization Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 33 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 26 SN - 09340866 AB - 3D carbon nanotube (CNT)-based macrostructures are the subject of extensive attention because the outstanding properties of 1D and 2D nanostructures have not been fully translated into key engineering applications. Generation of 3D CNT architectures with covalent junctions could endow the new materials with extraordinary mechanical properties. In this study, detailed experimental characterization and statistical comparison are carried out on 3D boron-doped multiwalled CNT (CBxMWNT) sponges with covalent junctions and undoped multiwalled CNT (undoped-MWNT) sponges without junctions. By investigating the plastic, elastic, viscoelastic, and dynamic viscoelastic properties of both sponges, as well as the dependency of these mechanical properties on material morphology, the CBxMWNT sponge is found to be a more predictable and stable material than the undoped-MWNT sponge. Statistical comparison proves that the excellent properties of the CBxMWNT are attributed to its 'elbow-like' junctions inside the 3D networks, which prevent permanent buckling and bundling of the CNTs under extreme loading. Thus, by optimizing the covalent junctions in 3D CNT sponges, their functional behavior can be controlled and regulated. These findings may promote applications of 3D CNT sponges in various fields, including biomedical or high-precision devices in which lightweight, controllable, and reliable mechanical properties are always desirable.

In addition to creating surrogates that are accurate with regard to physical morphology and chemical composition, it is important to develop surrogates that also have similar radiological characteristics. A synthetic melt glass sample was irradiated at the High-Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This sample was counted twice using a semiconductor radiation detector to capture both fission-product signatures as well as those from neutron activation. A qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed to make recommendations for the next irradiation campaign.

Three challenging level-flight conditions are investigated: 1) high speed with advancing blade negative lift, 2) low speed with blade/wake interaction, and 3) high thrust with dynamic stall. The predicted flap bending and torsion moments, pitch link, and lag damper loads, in general, show reasonably good correlation with the test data. A nonlinear lag damper model is essential for the accurate prediction of root chord bending moment and lag damper load. Both analyses, however, significantly underpredict the chord bending moments, especially the 4/rev4/rev harmonic amplitude. Parametric study shows that blade stiffness variations have only a small influence on the load calculations. However, modal damping in the first flap mode has a significant influence on the flap bending moments.

Cold weather events can affect the overwintering capabilities of flatfish near their low temperature range limits. We examined the responses of two flatfish species, the thin-bodied windowpane ( Scophthalmus aquosus ) and cold-tolerant winter flounder ( Pseudopleuronectes americanus ), to variable winter temperatures in a Northwest Atlantic estuary using abundance and size data collected during a monitoring study, the Aquatic Biological Survey, conducted from 2002 to 2010. Winter and spring abundances of small (50 to 120 mm total length) juvenile windowpane were positively correlated with adult densities (spawning stock) and fall temperatures (thermal conditions experienced during post-settlement development for the fall-spawned cohort) of the previous year. Windowpane abundances in the estuary were significantly reduced and the smallest size class was nearly absent after several consecutive years with cold (minimum temperatures < 1 °C) winters. Interannual variation in winter flounder abundances was unrelated to the severity of winter temperatures. A Paulik diagram illustrates strong positive correlations between annual abundances of sequential winter flounder life history stages (egg, larval, Age-1 juvenile, and adult male) within the estuary, reflecting residency within the estuary through their first year of life. Temperature variables representing conditions during winter flounder larval and post-settlement development were not significant factors in multiple regression models exploring factors that affect juvenile abundances. Likewise, densities of predators known to consume winter flounder eggs and/or post-settlement juveniles were not significantly related to interannual variation in winter flounder juvenile abundances. Colder estuarine temperatures through the first year of life were associated with smaller Age-1 winter flounder body size. For example, Age-1 winter flounder developing under conditions that differed by 1.9 °C in mean daily water temperature, averaged 98.7 mm total length (TL) and 123.1 mm TL, for the relatively cold vs. moderate years, respectively. More frequent cold temperature extremes associated with climate variability may negatively impact the overwintering capabilities of some flatfish near their cold temperature range limits, whereas cold-tolerant species may experience reduced growth, which imparts the ecological challenges associated with smaller body size.

JO - Ecological Indicators JF - Ecological Indicators Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 60 M3 - Article SP - 1252 EP - 1262 SN - 1470160X AB - Marl prairie, a diverse graminoid-dominated freshwater vegetation community in the Florida Everglades, provides a specialized niche for the federally endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS). This paper describes a regional habitat suitability modeling approach to evaluating how changes in management from Everglades restoration may affect the CSSS. The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Marl Prairie Indicator ( CSSSMarlPrairie ) is a spatially explicit model that integrates frequency (return periods) of target hydrologic conditions to simulate the anticipated response of marl prairie CSSS habitats to fluxing hydropatterns resulting from restoration projects, water management operations, and climatic change. The model integrates CSSS field survey data with the hydrologic targets at the resolution of the hydrologic simulation model (in this case, the Regional Simulation Model). The application of return periods for hydrologic events provides a novel approach for simulation of anticipated marl prairie responses in the southern Everglades and is readily applicable to evaluating targets of modeled wetland restoration scenarios elsewhere. CSSSMarlPrairie is intended to be used for decision support, in association with a suite of ecological models for additional species of management concern, to facilitate planning of ecosystem restoration projects such as those in the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and recovery of the marl prairie habitats of the CSSS. A tentatively selected restoration plan for the central Everglades is projected to have mostly minor overall impacts to marl prairie CSSS habitats. Local substantial habitat shifts in and adjacent to designated habitat boundaries have been identified, however, that warrant management consideration.

The given discrete-time stochastic formulation neither requires a known bound on the magnitude of the unknown excitation nor assumes stability of the system. However, the proposed estimator assumes certain structural conditions on system uncertainties. Though the proposed estimator is developed based on stochastic Lyapunov analysis, its structure and performance are comparable to that of unbiased minimum-variance filters based on the disturbance decoupling technique. Unlike unbiased minimum-variance filters, implementation of the developed estimator only requires adding an auxiliary term to the nominal steady-state Kalman filter, and it does not involve any similarity transformation or propagation of matrix difference equations.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 90 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 291 SN - 0022538X AB - Filoviruses cause highly lethal viral hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. Current immunotherapeutic options for filoviruses are mostly specific to Ebola virus (EBOV), although other members of Filoviridae such as Sudan virus (SUDV), Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), and Marburg virus (MARV) have also caused sizeable human outbreaks. Here we report a set of pan-ebolavirus and pan-filovirus monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) derived from cynomolgus macaques immunized repeatedly with a mixture of engineered glycoproteins (GPs) and virus-like particles (VLPs) for three different filovirus species. The antibodies recognize novel neutralizing and nonneutralizing epitopes on the filovirus glycoprotein, including conserved conformational epitopes within the core regions of the GP1 subunit and a novel linear epitope within the glycan cap. We further report the first filovirus antibody binding to a highly conserved epitope within the fusion loop of ebolavirus and marburgvirus species. One of the antibodies binding to the core GP1 region of all ebolavirus species and with lower affinity to MARV GP cross neutralized both SUDV and EBOV, the most divergent ebolavirus species. In a mouse model of EBOV infection, this antibody provided 100% protection when administered in two doses and partial, but significant, protection when given once at the peak of viremia 3 days postinfection. Furthermore, we describe novel cocktails of antibodies with enhanced protective efficacy compared to individual MAbs. In summary, the present work describes multiple novel, cross-reactive filovirus epitopes and innovative combination concepts that challenge the current therapeutic models.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 90 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 266 EP - 278 SN - 0022538X AB - The unprecedented 2014-2015 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa has highlighted the need for effective therapeutics against filoviruses. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) cocktails have shown great potential as EVD therapeutics; however, the existing protective MAbs are virus species specific. Here we report the development of pan-ebolavirus and pan-filovirus antibodies generated by repeated immunization of mice with filovirus glycoproteins engineered to drive the B cell responses toward conserved epitopes. Multiple pan-ebolavirus antibodies were identified that react to the Ebola, Sudan, Bundibugyo, and Reston viruses. A pan-filovirus antibody that was reactive to the receptor binding regions of all filovirus glycoproteins was also identified. Significant postexposure efficacy of several MAbs, including a novel antibody cocktail, was demonstrated. For the first time, we report cross-neutralization and in vivo protection against two highly divergent filovirus species, i.e., Ebola virus and Sudan virus, with a single antibody. Competition studies indicate that this antibody targets a previously unrecognized conserved neutralizing epitope that involves the glycan cap. Mechanistic studies indicated that, besides neutralization, innate immune cell effector functions may play a role in the antiviral activity of the antibodies. Our findings further suggest critical novel epitopes that can be utilized to design effective cocktails for broad protection against multiple filovirus species.

When evidence-based programs are scaled into larger formats and disseminated to a wider audience, little is understood about how clients experience these interventions. To understand the experience of clients after meetings with nutrition, exercise, and health behavior professionals, researchers surveyed participants after 6 months in a weight management program. A total of 958 participants were recruited in monthly cohorts beginning September 2011 to complete a program evaluation survey. Qualitative inductive analysis was completed on several open-text items querying respondents as to what they found helpful from meetings with a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and health behavior counselor. Results indicate participants benefitted from gaining knowledge, learning new behavioral skills, or from interpersonal interactions. Findings suggest that the various professional services are valued by clients and that professionals appear to stay within their scope of practice. Implications for those working in weight management are discussed.

JO - Brain & Behavior JF - Brain & Behavior Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 21623279 AB - Background In addition to experiencing traumatic events while deployed in a combat environment, there are other factors that contribute to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) in military service members. This study explored the contribution of genetics, childhood environment, prior trauma, psychological, cognitive, and deployment factors to the development of traumatic stress following deployment. Methods Both pre- and postdeployment data on 231 of 458 soldiers were analyzed. Postdeployment assessments occurred within 30 days from returning stateside and included a battery of psychological health, medical history, and demographic questionnaires; neurocognitive tests; and blood serum for the D2 dopamine receptor ( DRD2), apolipoprotein E ( APOE), and brain-derived neurotropic factor ( BDNF) genes. Results Soldiers who screened positive for traumatic stress at postdeployment had significantly higher scores in depression ( d = 1.91), anxiety ( d = 1.61), poor sleep quality ( d = 0.92), postconcussion symptoms ( d = 2.21), alcohol use ( d = 0.63), traumatic life events ( d = 0.42), and combat exposure ( d = 0.91). BDNF Val66 Met genotype was significantly associated with risk for sustaining a mild traumatic brain injury ( mTBI) and screening positive for traumatic stress. Predeployment traumatic stress, greater combat exposure and sustaining an mTBI while deployed, and the BDNF Met/Met genotype accounted for 22% of the variance of postdeployment PTSD scores ( R 2 = 0.22, P < 0.001). However, predeployment traumatic stress, alone, accounted for 17% of the postdeployment PTSD scores. Conclusion These findings suggest predeployment traumatic stress, genetic, and environmental factors have unique contributions to the development of combat-related traumatic stress in military service members.

JO - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology JF - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Y1 - 2017/08// VL - 70 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1439 EP - 1452 SN - 17470218 AB - Navigating large-scale environments involves dynamic interactions between the physical world and individuals’ knowledge, goals, and strategies. Time pressure can result from self-imposed goals or relatively dynamic situational factors that induce varied constraints. While time pressure is ubiquitous in daily life and has been shown to influence affective states, cost-benefit analyses, and strategy selection, its influence on navigation behaviour is unknown. The present study examined how introducing varied time constraints during virtual urban navigation would influence spatial strategies and impact the efficiency and effectiveness of goal-directed wayfinding. Participants learned a large-scale urban virtual environment by wayfinding between a series of 20 successive landmark goals (e.g.,You have reached the Theater. Now find the Bank.). A day later, they again performed the same task, but landmark-to-landmark trials were characterized by conditions of low-, moderate-, or high-pressure time limits as quantified by a pilot experiment. As time pressure increased, participants more likely navigated along previously experienced paths and less likely travelled in the global direction of the destination. Results suggest strategy shifts under time constraints that increase reliance on egocentric, route-based strategies and decrease reliance on global configural knowledge, probably in an attempt to reduce cognitive demands and support performance under pressure.

SN - 00222461 AB - In this study, the energies to indent and scratch Kevlar 49 and Kevlar KM2 single fiber surfaces are investigated along with the associated deformation mechanisms of the fiber fibrillar network. For both indentation and scratching, values of energy are determined from the measured forces and displacements under a number of different contact conditions, which include variations in probe size, indentation/scratch depth, and scratch length. These values are correlated to the observed fibrillar deformation mechanisms. The total indentation energy is primarily recoverable for indentations made at low depths and/or by probes that impart low levels of effective strain. Indentations made to greater depths by probes imparting greater effective strains result in additional forms of deformation, which correlate with an increase in the percentage of the total energy that is absorbed and an increase in the total specific energy (energy per volume) of indentation. The energy of a constant depth scratch exceeds the energy of indentation for scratch lengths greater than ~1.5-3 times the indentation depth. The total specific energy of scratching decreases with the onset of microstructure failure, in the form of fibrillation, during scratching. The energies to indent and scratch Kevlar KM2 are generally lower than Kevlar 49, which is likely related to the decreased properties of the Kevlar KM2 shell and/or a difference in the local properties of the two fibers. The fibrillar deformation mechanisms critical to optimizing the specific energies of indentation and scratching, which depend on strain, are identified and discussed.

Thus, I will explore a consequentialist argument against the use of private security contractors (PSCs) in counterinsurgencies. Discussing the benefits and costs of employing PSCs in these kinds of operations will demonstrate that the hiring of PSCs in many cases (perhaps in most) is consequentially unsound. More precisely, the overall negative consequences of hiring PSCs during counterinsurgencies should preclude their use unless in extreme emergencies. Defenders of the use of PSCs readily point to their financial benefits and expected increase in efficiency as the starting point for their argumentation. On my account, if the benefits really do outweigh the foreseeable and expected costs, then hiring PSCs may, in that case, be a morally viable option. However, I contend that, unless we institute broad contractual control and oversight reform, unless we truly understand the costs and benefits, we should have a standing, prima facie prohibition against employing PSCs in counterinsurgencies.

Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 627 EP - 638 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - A common approach to re-establishing cottonwood-willow habitat along regulated rivers is through installing dormant, rootless cuttings, yet there is little published information exploring floodplain characteristics that optimize growth of southwestern riparian willows planted in this manner. The goal of this project was to evaluate relationships between growth attributes of Salix exigua and soil texture and soil water availability. Monitoring plots were established in five willow swales planted with dormant S. exigua cuttings along the banks of the Middle Rio Grande in central New Mexico. Data analysis revealed significantly higher aerial cover, height, and stem density for S. exigua plants installed in plots with intermediate levels (15-25%) of fine textured soils distributed through the soil profile. Similar relationships were found in relation to soil water availability. Regression analysis of percent fines and available water at different depth increments provided limited explanation of variability in willow growth attributes at different plots. Findings indicate that S. exigua plants established from cuttings can achieve heights and aerial cover values similar to naturally established willow bars if the floodplain soil profile contains intermediate levels of fine textured soils and the maximum depth to groundwater is within 1.5 m of the ground surface. Where sites are dominated by coarse sand, S. exigua growth may be improved if maximum depth to groundwater is within 1 m of the ground surface.

In the past, attempts to use long fibers in concrete have failed as a result of both balling (agglomeration) and poor dispersion of the fibers. In the present study, two types of long carbon fibers were developed and optimized for their use in reinforced concrete. The resulting long carbon fiber-reinforced concrete (LCFRC) was subsequently evaluated through impact and blast testing. Full-scale blast testing revealed that these fibers significantly increased the resistance of concrete spalling. In terms of the amount of material lost during the blast, LCFRC panels outperformed nonfiber concrete panels by nearly a factor of 10. This significant reduction in weight loss for the LCFRC panels translates into a substantial decrease in harmful, flying debris in a blast event, and a corresponding reduction in blast lethality.

Behavior of UHPCs at high temperature is very important to their reliability and safety. In the current study, two UHPC materials were studied using the thermomechanical analysis (TMA) technique between room temperature and 800°C. Both reversible and irreversible phase transformations were observed from the TMA results, which were likely attributable to the quartz transformation and the dehydroxylation transitions, respectively. Thermal expansion coefficients exhibited significant variations in different temperature regimes. Postmortem scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations revealed extensive cracking in the heated samples. In addition, microporosities were observed in the calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) phase as a result of phase changes during heating.

JO - Arctic JF - Arctic Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 66 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 257 EP - 268 PB - Arctic Institute of North America SN - 00040843 AB - The Arctic ecosystem is changing rapidly, yet information on nearshore fish assemblages for the northeastern Chukchi Sea is extremely limited. To address this information gap, we sampled nearshore fish assemblages with a beach seine and a small bottom trawl at six stations in the northeastern Chukchi Sea in August 2007, 2008, and 2009, and in September 2009. Catch and species composition differed by gear type and between sample periods, including the two in 2009. A total of 16 039 fish representing 18 species were captured in 24 beach seine hauls, and 3108 fish representing 24 species were captured in 48 trawl tows. Beach seine catch was dominated by capelin (83%), and trawl catch was dominated by Arctic cod (56%). Species that were good discriminators between gear types were capelin (seine) and slender eelblenny (trawl), and unidentified small sculpins were the most common taxa caught with both gear types. Capelin and Arctic cod captured by either gear type were mostly juveniles (judging by size). Variability among sampling periods in catch and species composition within gear types can likely be attributed to annual variations in environmental conditions, including differences in water temperature (range: 2∘ - 9∘C). The shallow nearshore environment of the northeastern Chukchi Sea provides important habitat for many fish species and is extremely vulnerable to disturbance. Loss of sea ice from global warming may open up formerly inaccessible areas to oil and gas exploration, vessel traffic, and commercial fishing. Thus, long-term monitoring of nearshore fish assemblages in the Alaskan Arctic is necessary for managers to make informed decisions in this fragile environment.

Afin de combler ce besoin en information, nous avons échantillonné des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral à l'aide d'une senne de plage et d'un petit chalut de fond à six stations du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches en août 2007, 2008 et 2009, puis en septembre 2009. La composition des prises et des espèces différait en fonction du type d'équipement et des périodes d'échantillonnage, notamment entre les deux périodes de 2009. En tout, 16 039 poissons représentant 18 espèces ont été capturés dans 24 coups de filet de senne de plage, et 3 108 poissons représentant 24 espèces ont été capturés dans 48 traits de chalut. Les prises de senne de plage étaient principalement constituées de capelans (83 %), tandis que la morue polaire (56 %) dominait les prises de chalut. Les espèces qui faisaient une bonne discrimination entre les types d'équipement étaient le capelan (senne) et la lompénie de Fabricius (chalut), et les petits chabots non identifiés étaient les taxons les plus courants à avoir été attrapés avec les deux types d'équipement. Les capelans et les morues polaires capturés par l'un ou l'autre des types d'équipement étaient surtout juvéniles (d'après leur taille). La variabilité de la composition des prises et des espèces entre les périodes d'échantillonnage est vraisemblablement attribuable à la variation annuelle des conditions environnementales, dont les différences de température de l'eau (écart entre 2∘ et 9∘ C). Le milieu sublittoral peu profond du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches est un habitat important pour de nombreuses espèces de poissons et est extrêmement vulnérable aux perturbations. La perte de glace de mer attribuable au réchauffement planétaire risque d'ouvrir des zones anciennement inaccessibles à l'exploration pétrolière et gazière, à la circulation d'embarcations et à la pêche commerciale. Par conséquent, la surveillance à long terme des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral de la partie alaskienne de l'Arctique s'impose pour que les gestionnaires puissent prendre des décisions éclairées dans cet environnement fragile.

The TSM uses 5 X 5 X 1 mm inoculated coupons (carriers), which are placed in 400 µL liquid sporicidal agent contained in a microcentrifuge tube. Following exposure of inoculated carriers to the test chemical and subsequent neutralization, viable spores are recovered in three fractions: A (gentle tapping), B (sonication), and C (gentle agitation). The spores in suspension are serially diluted and plated on a recovery medium for enumeration. The plate counts are summed over the three fractions to provide the number of viable spores per carrier, which is log10-transformed to generate a mean log density (LD) value across carriers. As a measure of product efficacy, a log reduction (LR) value is calculated by subtracting the mean LD for treated carriers from the mean LD for control carriers. This paper reports on the comparative evaluation of the current and modified versions of the TSM in order to support a modification to simplify the procedure. The proposed modified TSM (mTSM) consolidates fractions B and C in the same tube. Thus, the sonication (fraction B) and gentle agitation (fraction C) steps are carried out in the same tube, thereby reducing the number of tubes and associated resources and time necessary to complete the test. Glass, steel, pine wood, and ceramic tile carriers were included in the comparative study. Inoculated carriers were evaluated against two preparations of sodium hypochlorite to generate two presumed levels of efficacy (intermediate and high); the control LD and LR values associated with testing each carrier type for the TSM and the mTSM were compared. For control carriers, the mean log densities per carrier (for each carrier material) were not significantly different based on the TSM compared to the mTSM. Furthermore, the treated carrier data showed comparable LR values for the TSM and mTSM. The data provided in this report demonstrate equivalency between the TSM and mTSM and support the proposed procedural modification to consolidate fractions B and C.

His failed mission provides valuable insights into the precarious character of the United States acting as a third-party mediator in territorial disputes, a challenge in the contemporary security environment. The case study highlights the immense responsibilities a mediator from a powerful nation bears in seeking to resolve a dispute. It also demonstrates that success depends heavily on the mediator's skills as well as other factors; equally consequential is how a government helps the mediator shape the effort through its policymaking process.

Dexamethasone and /V-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

JO - Wilson Journal of Ornithology JF - Wilson Journal of Ornithology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 125 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 600 EP - 608 PB - Wilson Ornithological Society SN - 15594491 AB - The O'ahu 'Elepaio (Chasiempis ibidis) is an endangered monarch flycatcher endemic to the Hawaiian Island of O'ahu. Current information on abundance, distribution, and population trend is needed to help assess the species status and identify areas where conservation efforts can be focused. We used spot-mapping methods with song playbacks to conduct surveys in the Ko'olau Mountains from 2011-2012, and we used occupancy sampling with repeated visits to estimate detection probability. We detected 545 male and 317 female O'ahu 'Elepaio. The detection probability of males was 0.92 ± 0.03 and that of females was 0.86 ± 0.05, yielding corrected estimates of 592 males (95% CI = 554-630) and 369 females (95% CI = 327411 ). Combined with results of a previous census in the Wai'anae Mountains that found 192 males and 84 females, the total estimated population of the species is 1,261 birds (95% CI = 1,205-1,317), consisting of about 477 breeding pairs and 307 single males. The O'ahu 'Elepaio has declined in abundance by about 50% since the 1990s, when the population was estimated to be about 1,974 birds. The current geographic range of the O'ahu 'Elepaio encompassed about 5,187 ha and has declined by 75% since 1975, becoming fragmented into four larger subpopulations with 100 or more birds each and 12 smaller subpopulations. Rat control to reduce nest predation remains the cornerstone of the conservation strategy for the O'ahu 'Elepaio, but variation in forest structure, forest dynamics, and continuing evolution of 'elepaio nesting behavior are likely to play important roles in determining whether this species can persist.

SN - 09462171 AB - A single-particle fluorescence spectrometer (SPFS) and an aerodynamic particle sizer were used to measure the fluorescence spectra and particle size distribution from the particulate emissions of 12 different burning materials in a tube furnace to simulate open-air burning of garbage. Although the particulate emissions are likely dominated by particles <1 μm diameter, only the spectra of supermicron particles were measured here. The overall fluorescence spectral profiles exhibit either one or two broad bands peaked around 300-450 nm within the 280-650 nm spectral range, when the particles are illuminated with a 263-nm laser. Different burning materials have different profiles, some of them (cigarette, hair, uniform, paper, and plastics) show small changes during the burning process, and while others (beef, bread, carrot, Styrofoam, and wood) show big variations, which initially exhibit a single UV peak (around 310-340 nm) and a long shoulder in visible, and then gradually evolve into a bimodal spectrum with another visible peak (around 430-450 nm) having increasing intensity during the burning process. These spectral profiles could mainly derive from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with the combinations of tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, and other humic-like substances. About 68 % of these single-particle fluorescence spectra can be grouped into 10 clustered spectral templates that are derived from the spectra of millions of atmospheric aerosol particles observed in three locations; while the others, particularly these bimodal spectra, do not fall into any of the 10 templates. Therefore, the spectra from particulate emissions of burning materials can be easily discriminated from that of common atmospheric aerosol particles. The SFFS technology could be a good tool for monitoring burning pit emissions and possibly for distinguishing them from atmospheric aerosol particles.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 8 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 13 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - The manufacture of novel synthetic chemicals has increased in volume and variety, but often the environmental and health risks are not fully understood in terms of toxicity and, in particular, exposure. While efforts to assess risks have generally been effective when sufficient data are available, the hazard and exposure data necessary to assess risks adequately are unavailable for the vast majority of chemicals in commerce. The US Environmental Protection Agency has initiated the ExpoCast Program to develop tools for rapid chemical evaluation based on potential for exposure. In this context, a model is presented in which chemicals are evaluated based on inherent chemical properties and behaviorally-based usage characteristics over the chemical’s life cycle. These criteria are assessed and integrated within a decision analytic framework, facilitating rapid assessment and prioritization for future targeted testing and systems modeling. A case study outlines the prioritization process using 51 chemicals. The results show a preliminary relative ranking of chemicals based on exposure potential. The strength of this approach is the ability to integrate relevant statistical and mechanistic data with expert judgment, allowing for an initial tier assessment that can further inform targeted testing and risk management strategies.

Nutritional supplements are dietary supplements (DS) and foods intended to supplement the diet. Purpose: This study assessed relationships between NS use, demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and WM goals among U.S. Army personnel. Methods: Participants (N = 990) self-reported NS use, categorized as energy drinks, sport nutrition products, or DS, and WM goal (lose, gain, or maintain) was ascertained by survey. DS were subcategorized as health, weight-loss, weight-gain, or other DS. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to assess relationships between predictors, NS use, and WM goal. Most respondents (70.3% ± 1.7%) consumed some NS; however, overall NS use was not related to WM goal. Significant relationships were observed between predictors (tobacco use, age, body-mass index, fitness score, general health, and eating habits) and both WM goal and NS use. Respondents attempting to lose or maintain weight were less likely to consume energy drinks and weight-gain DS. Conclusion: WM goal is related to multiple health behaviors including tobacco use, physical fitness score, and self-perception of health and eating behavior. NS are consumed in this population regardless of WM goal.

JO - Journal of Traumatic Stress JF - Journal of Traumatic Stress Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 26 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 498 EP - 506 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 08949867 AB - Previous research indicates a relationship between perceived fear for one's safety (i.e., threat appraisal) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This prospective study examined relationships among deployment- and predeployment-related variables, threat appraisal, and postdeployment PTSD symptom severity. Prior to Iraq deployment, 774 U.S. Army soldiers completed self-report measures assessing previous life stressors, deployment history, current (predeployment) PTSD symptoms, deployment preparedness, and unit cohesion. Following deployment, participants completed self-report measures assessing combat intensity, deployment threat appraisal, and current (postdeployment) PTSD symptoms. Structural equation modeling revealed that predeployment PTSD symptom severity, prior warzone deployment, unit cohesion, and preparedness were each independently associated with deployment threat appraisal, even after taking into account combat intensity. Deployment threat appraisal was associated with postdeployment PTSD severity. Results indicated that predeployment PTSD symptom severity, history of warzone deployment, and preparedness-risk factors previously thought to influence PTSD outcomes directly-were either partially or fully mediated by threat appraisal. The model explained 15% of the variance in deployment threat appraisal and 50% of the variance in postdeployment PTSD severity. Helping service members cope with exposure to extreme stress during deployment by modifying certain prewar risk factors may facilitate reduction of PTSD symptoms following deployment.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 178 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 926 EP - 933 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Environmental heat illness and injuries are a serious concern for the Army and Marines. Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be mote widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R2 = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R2 = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 178 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 914 EP - 920 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Increasing numbers of Staphylococcus aureus infections demonstrate antibiotic resistance. Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. Purpose: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. Methods: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. Results: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. Conclusion: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts.

In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as "General Service" or "Limited Service" it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the "handicapped" and "substandard" and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution.

JO - Journal of the American Ceramic Society JF - Journal of the American Ceramic Society Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 96 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2607 EP - 2614 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00027820 AB - The indentation-size effect ( ISE) in a commercial SiAlON was investigated by conducting Knoop indentation between 0.1 and 20 kg. The resulting ISE was analyzed utilizing Meyer's Law, Proportional Specimen Resistance ( PSR) model, and a Multifractal Scaling Law ( MFSL). Meyer's law and the PSR model fits to the hardness-load data were not excellent. Further analysis based on the PSR model and MFSL revealed three piecewise linear fits corresponding to load regimes 0.1-0.3, 0.5-2, and 5-20 kg. Physical inference of MFSL fit parameters suggested that these three load regimes correspond to where indentation behavior is governed by deformation mechanisms limited to single grains, grain boundaries, and multiple grains, respectively. Independent of the ISE analysis results, comprehensive examination of indents by scanning electron microscopy revealed that changes in deformation mechanisms could also be grouped into these three load regimes. Corresponding changes in deformation mechanisms were microcleavage cracking, grain-boundary cracking, and macrocracking, respectively. These observations are consistent with the findings of both the PSR model and MFSL with respect to the physical aspects of the governing mechanisms. It is concluded that these mechanisms are responsible for the observed ISE in this commercial SiAlON.

We test the veracity of a multi-faceted critical geopolitics in the contemporary public contestation of Zanzibar's place in the United Republic from 2008–2012. We analyze Tanzanian media, the speech acts of Tanzanian leaders, and the key events and processes related to what is termed the ‘Zanzibar problem’ during the selected years, to make two points about a critical geopolitics approach: to strengthen critical geopolitics by broadening the analysis of language to engage political acts and languages beyond the Global North; and taking ‘subaltern geopolitics’ more seriously via engagement with critical geopolitical voices on discourses, events and processes from the Global South.

Multivariate linear regression statistics were used to identify the psychosocial factors that predicted higher depression scores. Education and gender were included as covariates.Main Research Variables: Religiosity, emotional support, collectivism, perceived stigma, and depression.Findings: Participants (N = 77) had a mean age of 61 years (SD = 8.4), and a majority were well-educated, insured, religiously affiliated, and currently in treatment. Participants who were in the lowest income category, not married, or male had higher depression scores. The multivariable model consisting of organized religion, emotional support, collectivism, education, and gender explained 52% (adjusted R2) of the variation in depression scores. Stigma became insignificant in the multivariable model.Conclusions: Psychosocial factors are important predictors of depression. Emotional support and organized religious activities may represent protective factors against depression, whereas collectivism may increase their risk.Implications for Nursing: Nurses need to be particularly aware of the potential psychological strain for patients with collectivist values, experienced stigma, disruptions in church attendance, and lack of emotional support. In addition, the treatment plans for these patients should ensure that family members are knowledgeable about cancer, its treatment, and side effects so they are empowered to meet support needs.Knowledge Translation: Among older African American patients with cancer, emotional support and reassurance from family and friends that they will not abandon them decreases the likelihood of depressive symptoms and minimizes the impact of stigmatizing responses, but the perception that the illness is placing a strain on the family increases the likelihood of such symptoms. Emotional support likely is a stronger predictor of depressive symptoms than religious service attendance.

Using extensive primary sources, this article examines the reassessment process and concludes that the effort was fatally flawed because King George III and his ministers failed to reevaluate the war's objectives, given the changed strategic environment after Saratoga. The resulting British military strategy suffered from an imbalance between ends, ways, and means. Thus, British leaders incurred significant risk in executing their new strategy.

Although investigated and disproven by the leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF), the rumors persisted in popular memory and ultimately stigmatized the veterans who endured neutral captivity. This essay examines the motives of some airmen who landed in Switzerland, and argues that the stigma associated with neutral captivity resulted in denials of benefits and military decorations to deserving veterans.

Refrigeration causes a number of biophysical and biochemical changes in PLTs and decreases PLT circulation time in vivo. However, the effect of refrigeration on PLT hemostatic functions under physiologic and pathophysiologic shear conditions has not been adequately characterized. Study Design and Methods Washed PLTs prepared from either fresh PLT-rich plasma ( PRP) or PRP stored at 4°C for 2 days was mixed with exogenous von Willebrand factor ( VWF) and fibrinogen and sheared in a cone-and-plate viscometer. PLT aggregation, activation, and VWF binding after shear and glycoprotein ( GP) Ibα receptor expression and ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination were measured. Results PLTs stored at 4°C for 2 days aggregated significantly more than fresh PLTs particularly at high shear rates (10,000/sec), and this increase was independent of PLT concentration or suspension viscosity. Further, refrigerated PLTs showed a greater increase in GP Ibα-dependent PLT activation under shear and also bound more VWF than fresh PLTs. However, the GP Ibα expression levels as measured by three different antibodies were significantly lower in refrigerated PLTs than in fresh PLTs, and refrigeration resulted in a modest decrease in ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination. Conclusion The combined results demonstrate that refrigeration increases PLT aggregation under high shear, but not static, conditions and also increases shear-induced VWF binding and PLT activation. Clinically, enhanced shear-induced PLT aggregation due to low temperature storage may be a beneficial strategy to prevent severe bleeding in trauma.

A brief description of the theoretical basis and risk assessment in CADET is presented. Validation comparisons between CADET predictions and field measurements of wave-induced vertical motions at Ambrose Channel, New York, are presented. Prototype ship motions were measured with a differential global positioning system in April 1998 along three 488-m-long reaches. Comparisons were made with six ships, three tankers and three containerships, during inbound and outbound transits. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field measurements reasonably well, especially considering the wave heights were relatively small during the measurement period.

JO - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering JF - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 139 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 326 EP - 335 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 0733950X AB - The Lower Mississippi River protrudes into the Gulf of Mexico, and manmade levees line only the west bank for 55 km of the Lower Plaquemines section. Historically, sustained easterly winds from hurricanes have directed surge across Breton Sound, into the Mississippi River and against its west bank levee, allowing for surge to build and then propagate efficiently upriver and thus increase water levels past New Orleans. This case study applies a new and extensively validated basin- to channel-scale, high-resolution, unstructured-mesh ADvanced CIRCulation model to simulate a suite of historical and hypothetical storms under low to high river discharges. The results show that during hurricanes, (1) total water levels in the lower river south of Pointe à La Hache are only weakly dependent on river flow, and easterly wind-driven storm surge is generated on top of existing ambient strongly flow-dependent river stages, so the surge that propagates upriver reduces with increasing river flow; (2) natural levees and adjacent wetlands on the east and west banks in the Lower Plaquemines capture storm surge in the river, although not as effectively as the manmade levees on the west bank; and (3) the lowering of manmade levees along this Lower Plaquemines river section to their natural state, to allow storm surge to partially pass across the Mississippi River, will decrease storm surge upriver by 1 to 2 m between Pointe à La Hache and New Orleans, independent of river flow.

The cross-shore numerical model is extended to the landward zone of the wave transmission. The extended model is compared with 148 tests for a reef breakwater with a narrow crest at or above the still water level where the narrow crest was lowered by wave action. The model is also compared with an experiment on a wide-crested submerged breakwater in which the crest height increased during 20-h wave action. The damage, crest height, and wave transmission coefficient are predicted reasonably well; however, the damaged profile is not predicted accurately.

The X-ray CT imaging was done in conjunction with three-point bending tests of notched beam specimens. Unreinforced specimens were used to measure specific fracture energy in a way that accounts for the irregular shape of the fracture surface. For fiber-reinforced specimens, 3D digital image analysis techniques were used to measure fiber volume fraction, as well as the orientation of each individual fiber. In postfracture scans, the total amount of internal cracking was measured, as was the degree of fiber pullout relative to undamaged specimens. Measurements show that with a nominal steel fiber volume fraction between 3.5 and 4.0% there can be a greater than a 100-fold increase in the net work of load. Through quantitative analysis of the tomographic images, we could account for close to 90% of that increase. The analysis shows that roughly half of the internal energy dissipation comes from matrix cracking, including the crack branching and multiple crack systems facilitated by the fibers, while the remaining energy dissipation is a result of fiber pullout.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 178 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 806 EP - 810 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Tourniquet use recently became common in war, but knowledge gaps remain regarding analysis of recovered devices. The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. Methods: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. Results: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The ban was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively wit tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. Conclusions: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training.

The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. Methods: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. Results: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common lilac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. Conclusions: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group "Mental Health Training" initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Military Medicine is the property of AMSUS and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Effectively and reliably accomplishing this task would greatly enhance high-level autonomous capabilities in many operations such as search and rescue and resupply. This paper presents the results of quantitatively evaluating two SLAD algorithms using a new test method that incorporates a detailed survey of the test sites. These survey sites act as benchmarks against which the SLAD methods are compared. One SLAD algorithm is a new approach that uses laser range data to detect a set of potential landing points and uses fuzzy logic to rank them based on surface roughness, size, and terrain slope metrics. The second algorithm uses laser range data to optimize a performance index, based on sliding window statistics of surface slope and roughness over the landing zone, to select potential landing points. Flight-test data were collected at six sites ranging from simple to complex with multiple runs at each site. Both methods are evaluated based on their true-positive and false-positive rates and the consistency of their landing site selection.

SN - 09239820 AB - The potential for bioaugmentation with aerobic explosive degrading bacteria to remediate hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) contaminated aquifers was demonstrated. Repacked aquifer sediment columns were used to examine the transport and RDX degradation capacity of the known RDX degrading bacterial strains Gordonia sp. KTR9 (modified with a kanamycin resistance gene) Pseudomonas fluorescens I-C, and a kanamycin resistant transconjugate Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 pGKT2:Km. All three strains were transported through the columns and eluted ahead of the conservative bromide tracer, although the total breakthrough varied by strain. The introduced cells responded to biostimulation with fructose (18 mg L, 0.1 mM) by degrading dissolved RDX (0.5 mg L, 2.3 µM). The strains retained RDX-degrading activity for at least 6 months following periods of starvation when no fructose was supplied to the column. Post-experiment analysis of the soil indicated that the residual cells were distributed along the length of the column. When the strains were grown to densities relevant for field-scale application, the cells remained viable and able to degrade RDX for at least 3 months when stored at 4 °C. These results indicate that bioaugmentation may be a viable option for treating RDX in large dilute aerobic plumes.

T1 - Synchrotron-Based Imaging of Chromium and γ-H2AX Immunostaining in the Duodenum Following Repeated Exposure to Cr(VI) in Drinking Water. JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 143 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 16 EP - 25 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Current drinking water standards for chromium are for the combined total of both hexavalent and trivalent chromium (Cr(VI) and Cr(III)). However, recent studies have shown that Cr(III) is not carcinogenic to rodents, whereas mice chronically exposed to high levels of Cr(VI) developed duodenal tumors. These findings may suggest the need for environmental standards specific for Cr(VI). Whether the intestinal tumors arose through a mutagenic or non-mutagenic mode of action (MOA) greatly impacts how drinking water standards for Cr(VI) are derived. Herein, X-ray fluorescence (spectro)microscopy (µ-XRF) was used to image the Cr content in the villus and crypt regions of duodena from B6C3F1 mice exposed to 180 mg/l Cr(VI) in drinking water for 13 weeks. DNA damage was also assessed by γ-H2AX immunostaining. Exposure to Cr(VI) induced villus blunting and crypt hyperplasia in the duodenum—the latter evidenced by lengthening of the crypt compartment by ∼2-fold with a concomitant 1.5-fold increase in the number of crypt enterocytes. γ-H2AX immunostaining was elevated in villi, but not in the crypt compartment. µ-XRF maps revealed mean Cr levels >30 times higher in duodenal villi than crypt regions; mean Cr levels in crypt regions were only slightly above background signal. Despite the presence of Cr and elevated γ-H2AX immunoreactivity in villi, no aberrant foci indicative of transformation were evident. These findings do not support a MOA for intestinal carcinogenesis involving direct Cr-DNA interaction in intestinal stem cells, but rather support a non-mutagenic MOA involving chronic wounding of intestinal villi and crypt cell hyperplasia.

SM inhalation causes a life-threatening airway injury characterized by airway obstruction from fibrin casts, which can lead to respiratory failure and death. Mortality in those requiring intubation is more than 80%. No therapy exists to prevent mortality after SM exposure. Our previous work using the less toxic analog of SM, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, identified tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) an effective rescue therapy for airway cast obstruction (Veress, L. A., Hendry-Hofer, T. B., Loader, J. E., Rioux, J. S., Garlick, R. B., and White, C. W. (2013). Tissue plasminogen activator prevents mortality from sulfur mustard analog-induced airway obstruction. Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol. 48, 439–447). It is not known if exposure to neat SM vapor, the primary agent used in chemical warfare, will also cause death due to airway casts, and if tPA could be used to improve outcome. Methods: Adult rats were exposed to SM, and when oxygen saturation reached less than 85% (median: 6.5 h), intratracheal tPA or placebo was given under isoflurane anesthesia every 4 h for 48 h. Oxygen saturation, clinical distress, and arterial blood gases were assessed. Microdissection was done to assess airway obstruction by casts. Results: Intratracheal tPA treatment eliminated mortality (0% at 48 h) and greatly improved morbidity after lethal SM inhalation (100% death in controls). tPA normalized SM-associated hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and lactic acidosis, and improved respiratory distress. Moreover, tPA treatment resulted in greatly diminished airway casts, preventing respiratory failure from airway obstruction. Conclusions: tPA given via airway more than 6 h after exposure prevented death from lethal SM inhalation, and normalized oxygenation and ventilation defects, thereby rescuing from respiratory distress and failure. Intra-airway tPA should be considered as a life-saving rescue therapy after a significant SM inhalation exposure incident.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requires a 70% overall performance rating to pass speech intelligibility certification for commercial chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear air-purifying respirators. However, the speech intelligibility of certified respirators is not reported and the impact on operational performance is unknown. The objective of this effort was to assess the speech intelligibility of 12 certified air-purifying respirators and to predict their impact on operational performance. The NIOSH respirator certification standard testing procedures were followed. Regression equations were fit to data from studies that examined the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on operational performance of simple and complex missions. The impact of the tested respirators on operational performance was estimated from these equations. Performance ratings observed for each respirator were: MSA Millennium (90%), 3M FR-M40 (88%), MSA Ultra Elite (87%), Scott M110 (86%), North 5400 (85%), Scott M120 (85%), Avon C50 (84%), Avon FM12 (84%), Survivair Optifit (81%), Drager CDR 4500 (81%), Peltor-AOSafety M-TAC (79%), and 3M FR-7800B (78%). The Millennium and FR-M40 had statistically significantly higher scores than the FR-7800B. The Millennium also scored significantly higher than the M-TAC. All of the tested respirators were predicted to have little impact on simple and complex mission performance times and on simple mission success rate. However, the regression equations showed that 75% of missions that require complex communications would be completed while wearing the Millennium, FR-M40, or Ultra Elite but that only 60% would be completed successfully while wearing the FR-7800B. These results suggest that some certified respirators may have a greater impact on speech communications than others.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 30 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1024 EP - 1033 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 15351459 AB - ABSTRACT Complex socioeconomic and ecological issues, ranging from impaired streams to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, have made nutrient management an increasingly important issue across the USA. High flows during 2010 and 2011 provided a unique opportunity to investigate trends in discharge, total nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite, total phosphorus, ortho-phosphorus, suspended sediment and total suspended solids during two distinct high-flow years on the Missouri River. We compared collections taken during 2010 and 2011 at 12 lower Missouri River locations (river kilometers 1212 to 71) and 22 Missouri River tributary locations. During 2011, average concentrations for all sampled parameters were significantly lower, despite significantly higher total discharge, than 2010 concentrations. Differences in water chemistry between years are likely attributed to the primary source of water. Tributary inflow created high flows during 2010, whereas record releases from Gavins Point Dam created high flows during 2011. Analysis of flow estimated the contribution of these releases at each site and revealed strong positive relationships between the percentage of estimated tributary flow at each site and the concentrations of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total suspended solids. These monitoring efforts underline the contrasting impacts that tributary streams and reservoir releases have on nutrient export of the Missouri River during high-flow events and reveal a larger trend of increased nutrient concentrations as the proportion of Missouri River tributary flow increased.

SN - 00954616 AB - Recent interest in the reflected quasipotential comes from the queueing theory literature, specifically the analysis of so-called $$(b,A,D)$$ reflected Brownian motion where it is the large deviation rate function for the stationary distribution. Our purpose here is to characterize the reflected quasipotential in terms of a first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Using conventional dynamic programming ideas, along with a complementarity problem formulation of the effect of the Skorokhod map on absolutely continuous paths, we will derive necessary conditions in the form of viscosity-sense boundary conditions. It turns out that even with these boundary conditions solutions are not unique. Thus a unique characterization needs to refer to some additional property of $$V(\cdot )$$ . We establish such a characterization in two dimensions.

Male and female Soldiers from the 101 st Airborne Division (Air Assault) completed a 24-hour dietary recall and nutrition history questionnaire before anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken. Compared to sports nutrition guidelines, Soldiers of the 101 st under consume carbohydrates (males: 3.9 ± 2.0 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p < 0.001; females: 4.0 ± 2.1 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p = 0.001), male Soldiers eat too much fat (32.4% of kcal vs. <30% of kcal, p = 0.000) and saturated fat (males: 10.5 ± 3.9% of kcal vs. 10.0% of kcal, p = 0.044), and both males and females follow a meal pattern that may not optimize energy availability throughout the day. Eating too much fat and under fueling carbohydrate may negatively impact the adaptations to physical training and compromise overall health. Although Soldiers continue to participate in arduous training programs, future research should be aimed at determining the energy and macronutrient needs to fuel and recover from specific types of military training.

Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists.Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points).Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem.

We developed an Arm Immersion Cooling (AIC) system that is not logistically burdensome and may be easily employed in training environments.Purpose: To examine the effect of AIC on EHI incidence, severity, and treatment costs during Ranger School.Methods: The training program was standardized for physical exertion and heat stress factors throughout the study period. AIC was employed summer months of 2010-2012 (n = 3,930 Soldiers) and Control (CON; n = 6,650 Soldiers) data were obtained for summer months of 2007-2009. Descriptive characteristics of all EHI casualties were obtained, including hospitalization status (treated and released [Treat], evacuated [Evac] or admitted [Admit] to the hospital), which served as proxy indicator of illness/injury severity. Medical cost savings were calculated from hospital records.Results: Incidence rates were not different (CON 4.06 vs. AIC 4.00/1,000 person-days). Treat increased during AIC (18.43 vs. 4.84/1,000 person-days) accompanied by marked but non-significant decreases in Evac and Admit rates. AIC use was associated with a medical cost savings of $1,719 per casualty.Conclusions: AIC implementation during strenuous physical training in summer months can reduce EHI severity and associated medical treatment costs.

Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

The device accomplished this by modulating the field via the oscillatory motion of flux concentrators on MEMS flaps. Electrostatic comb drives were used to drive the MEMS flaps. We have demonstrated an increase in the signal to noise ratio at 1 Hz, that the power signal correctly depends on V4 where V is the amplitude of the voltage energizing the comb drives, and that the signal increases dramatically with vacuum packaging.

CD negatively impacts an individual's ability to accurately aim and fire long-barreled guns. The authors developed and evaluated a hand dominance transfer (HDT) intervention to improve the M16 rifle shooting accuracy, efficiency, and skill transfer. Twenty-four U.S. Army soldiers with CD were taught how to handle and fire an M16 rifle using the nondominant hand. Training was conducted at a military, indoor laser-equipped weapons simulator. Accuracy for shooting 40 rounds at baseline with the nondominant eye and dominant hand (NDE/DH) was 22.12 compared to shooting 30.46 with the dominant eye and nondominant hand (DE/NDH). This difference was statistically significant withp= .000. The transfer of shooting accuracy skill (retention) following the HDT intervention was 33.42 with a comparativepvalue of .100. Efficiency of shooting 10 rounds at baseline with the NDE/DH was 6.3 compared to shooting 7.3 with the DE/NDH. This difference was not statistically significant (p= .107). The transfer of shooting efficiency skill (retention) was 7.96 with a comparativepvalue of .349. This study supports shooting with the DE/NDH. HDT could be further developed to address the soldiering skill of shooting an M16.

The effect of element-dependent exchange potentials on these moments are examined by comparison with conventional quantum-chemical methods and experiment for the subset of the extended G2 set of molecules that have nonzero dipole moment. Fitting the Kohn-Sham [Phys. Rev. 140, A1133 (1965)] potential itself makes a mean absolute error of less than 0.1 D. Variation of α (Slater’s [Phys. Rev. 81, 385 (1951)] exchange parameter) values has far less effect on dipole moments than on energies. It is argued that in variable α methods one should choose the smaller of the two rather than the geometric mean of the two α values for the heteroatomic part of the linear-combination-atomic-orbital density. Calculations on the dipole moment of NH2(CH)24NO2 are consistent with earlier calculations and show that varying the differences between α values for atoms with different atomic numbers has only short-ranged electrostatic effects.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2006/11/15/ VL - 100 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 104506 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - In this paper, we report on the growth by molecular beam epitaxy and fabrication of high power nitride-based ultraviolet light emitting diodes emitting in the spectral range between 340 and 350 nm. The devices were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates via plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The growth of the light emitting diode (LED) structures was preceded by detailed materials studies of the bottom n-AlGaN contact layer, as well as the GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) active region. Specifically, kinetic conditions were identified for the growth of the thick n-AlGaN films to be both smooth and to have fewer defects at the surface. Transmission-electron microscopy studies on identical GaN/AlGaN MQWs showed good quality and well-defined interfaces between wells and barriers. Large area mesa devices (800×800 μm2) were fabricated and were designed for backside light extraction. The LEDs were flip-chip bonded onto a Si submount for better heat sinking. For devices emitting at 340 nm, the measured differential on-series resistance is 3 Ω with electroluminescence spectrum full width at half maximum of 18 nm. The output power under dc bias saturates at 0.5 mW, while under pulsed operation it saturates at approximately 700 mA to a value of 3 mW, suggesting that thermal heating limits the efficiency of these devices. The output power of the investigated devices was found to be equivalent with those produced by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and hydride vapor-phase epitaxy methods. The devices emitting at 350 nm were investigated under dc operation and the output power saturates at 4.5 mW under 200 mA drive current.

The RxDPD method combines elements of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC), allowing for the determination of both static and dynamical properties of a polymer system. The RxDPD method is demonstrated by considering several simple polydispersed homopolymer systems. RxDPD can be used to predict the polydispersity due to various effects, including solvents, additives, temperature, pressure, shear, and confinement. Extensions of the method to other polymer systems are straightforward, including grafted, cross-linked polymers, and block copolymers. To simulate polydispersity, the system contains full polymer chains and a single fractional polymer chain, i.e., a polymer chain with a single fractional DPD particle. The fractional particle is coupled to the system via a coupling parameter that varies between zero (no interaction between the fractional particle and the other particles in the system) and one (full interaction between the fractional particle and the other particles in the system). The time evolution of the system is governed by the DPD equations of motion, accompanied by changes in the coupling parameter. The coupling-parameter changes are either accepted with a probability derived from the grand canonical partition function or governed by an equation of motion derived from the extended Lagrangian. The coupling-parameter changes mimic forward and reverse reaction steps, as in RxMC simulations.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2006/08/15/ VL - 100 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 044516 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The silicon carbide (SiC)–silicon dioxide (SiO2) interface in SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) has shown the presence of a very large number of trap states. These traps become filled during inversion causing a lowering of conduction charge in the inversion layer, and increases Coulombic scattering of mobile charges. Owing to the large number of occupied interface traps, Coulomb interaction is likely to be an important scattering mechanism for SiC MOSFET device operation, resulting in very low surface mobilities. We have developed a first principles physics-based Coulomb scattering mobility model to understand this phenomenon and to study its effect on mobility in SiC devices. This type of Coulombic scattering is a quasi-two-dimensional phenomenon. Mobile charges located closer to the interface are scattered at a higher rate than those located far away from the interface. Screening of the traps and fixed oxide charges by the inversion layer mobile charges causes a decrease in the scattering rate. Also, at higher temperatures, due to a reduction in occupied trap density, and increasing energy of mobile charges, Coulombic scattering is greatly reduced. Our mobility model incorporates and accounts for all these effects. We have implemented this physics-based Coulomb scattering mobility model into a device simulator and have obtained agreement with experimental current-voltage characteristics.

Using a quasi-two-dimensional depth dependent Coulomb mobility model for scattering due to interface and oxide charge, along with existing models for other scattering mechanisms, and an in-house drift diffusion device simulator tailored for SiC MOSFETs, we have extracted values for interface trap density of states for 4H-SiC MOSFETs. Characterization shows that the interface trapped charge in 4H-SiC MOSFETs is responsible for mobility degradation and reduction in mobile inversion charge, and therefore reduced current. Its effect on mobility degradation decreases at higher gate voltages due to increased screening. Our results show that at high gate voltages, surface roughness plays the major role in surface mobility degradation in 4H-SiC MOSFETs. Results indicate that due to high Coulomb scattering near the interface, current density is maximum a few nanometers away from the surface. The model indicates overall mobility values of approximately 20 cm2/V s at the interface, and increasing to approximately 250 cm2/V s near the bottom of the inversion layer. Simulations predict that tenfold reduction in interface and fixed oxide charge density would give rise to very favorable device characteristics.

It is well-known experimentally that for the elastic substrate with a high degree of anisotropy, the epitaxially grown island patterns are different for different growth orientations. In this paper, by incorporating the anisotropic strain energy field into a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm for adatom diffusion, we show that the self-organized island pattern on the surface of an anisotropic substrate is closely correlated to the elastic energy distribution on the surface. The anisotropic substrates studied are GaAs with different growth orientations (001), (111), and (113). An isotropic substrate Iso (001), reduced from GaAs, is also investigated for the purpose of comparison. The island patterns on these substrates with and without elastic strain energy are presented. Besides the effect of substrate anisotropy, different growth parameters, including temperature, coverage, and interruption time, are further investigated to identify the optimal growth values. It is observed that the strain energy field in the substrate is the key factor that controls the island pattern, and that the latter is closely correlated to the substrate orientation (anisotropy). Our simulated patterns are also in qualitative agreement with recent experimental growth results.

We are developing a device, the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) flux concentrator, that will mitigate the effect of this 1/f noise. It does this by placing flux concentrators on MEMS structures that oscillate at kilohertz frequencies. By shifting the operating frequency, the 1/f noise will be reduced by one to three orders of magnitude depending upon the sensor and the desired operating frequency. We have succeeded in fabricating the necessary MEMS structures and observing the desired kilohertz normal-mode resonant frequencies. Only microwatts are required to drive the motion. We have used spin valves for our magnetic sensors. The measured field enhancement provided by the flux concentrators agrees to within 4% with the value estimated from finite element calculations. No difference was detected in noise measurements on spin valves with and without the flux concentrators. This result provides strong evidence for the validity of our device concept. Solutions to the sole remaining fabrication problem will be discussed.

JO - Water Resources Management JF - Water Resources Management Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 30 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2465 EP - 2481 SN - 09204741 AB - The performance of a brackish water aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) system is controlled by complex interactions among many variables. Some of these variables can be combined into dimensionless parameters to investigate the physical behavior and performance of an ASR well. Previous research has demonstrated that six dimensionless numbers are most useful for prediction of general performance of planned ASR projects. This paper first summarizes the critical literature and outlines the six dimensionless parameters and their various variable components. Then the new index is developed using the three best parameters. The three dimensionless parameters (RI, R and D) are normalized, scaled from 0 to 1, and combined through averaging to create a revised 'Brackish Water ASR Site Selection Index' or I. The newly revised index builds upon previous work but also adds new variables important to site selection planning. In order to provide further validity to the index, it is validated against 29 ASR projects in Florida, USA. Finally, the use of the index is demonstrated for the Upper Floridan Aquifer in South Florida, USA. The demonstrated use of the new index illustrates how it can be useful for future ASR planning.

JO - Hydrological Processes JF - Hydrological Processes Y1 - 2016/03/30/ VL - 30 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1071 EP - 1095 SN - 08856087 AB - End users face a range of subjective decisions when evaluating climate change impacts on hydrology, but the importance of these decisions is rarely assessed. In this paper, we evaluate the implications of hydrologic modelling choices on projected changes in the annual water balance, monthly simulated processes, and signature measures (i.e. metrics that quantify characteristics of the hydrologic catchment response) under a future climate scenario. To this end, we compare hydrologic changes computed with four different model structures - whose parameters have been obtained using a common calibration strategy - with hydrologic changes computed with a single model structure and parameter sets from multiple options for different calibration decisions (objective function, local optima, and calibration forcing dataset). Results show that both model structure selection and the parameter estimation strategy affect the direction and magnitude of projected changes in the annual water balance, and that the relative effects of these decisions are basin dependent. The analysis of monthly changes illustrates that parameter estimation strategies can provide similar or larger uncertainties in simulations of some hydrologic processes when compared with uncertainties coming from model choice. We found that the relative effects of modelling decisions on projected changes in catchment behaviour depend on the signature measure analysed. Furthermore, parameter sets with similar performance, but located in different regions of the parameter space, provide very different projections for future catchment behaviour. More generally, the results obtained in this study prompt the need to incorporate parametric uncertainty in multi-model frameworks to avoid an over-confident portrayal of climate change impacts.

JO - Natural Hazards JF - Natural Hazards Y1 - 2016/03/15/ VL - 81 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 909 EP - 938 SN - 0921030X AB - This paper investigates the development of a kriging surrogate model for storm surge prediction utilizing an existing database of high-fidelity, synthetic storms. This surrogate model (metamodel) provides a fast-to-compute mathematical approximation to the input/output relationship of the computationally expensive simulation model that created this database. The implementation is considered over a large coastal region composed of nearshore nodes (locations where storm surge is predicted) and further examines the ability to provide time-series forecasting. This setting creates a high-dimensional output (over a few thousand surge responses) for the surrogate model with anticipated high spatial/temporal correlation. Kriging is considered as a surrogate model, and special attention is given to the appropriate parameterization of the synthetic storms, based on the characteristics of the given database, to determine the input for the metamodel formulation. Principal component analysis (PCA) is integrated in this formulation as a dimension reduction technique to improve computational efficiency, as well as to provide accurate and continuous predictions for time-dependent outputs without the need to introduce time averaging in the time-series forecasting. This is established by leveraging the aforementioned correlation characteristics within the initial database. A range of different implementation choices is examined within the integrated kriging/PCA setting, such as the development of single or multiple metamodels for the different outputs. The metamodel accuracy for inland nodes that have remained dry in some of the storms in the initial database is also examined. The performance of the surrogate modeling approach is evaluated through a case study, utilizing a database of 446 synthetic storms for the Gulf of Mexico (Louisiana coast). The output considered includes time histories for 30 locations over a period of 45.5 h with 92 uniform time steps, as well as peak responses over a grid of 545,635 nearshore nodes. High accuracy and computational efficiency are observed for the proposed implementation, whereas including the prediction error statistics provides estimations with significant safety margins.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 51 EP - 58 SN - 10515658 AB - The presence of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in soil and groundwater is a major contamination issue at many military facilities around the world. Gordonia sp. KTR9 metabolizes RDX as a nitrogen source for growth producing 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal (NDAB) as a dead-end product. Methylobacterium sp. strain JS178 degrades NDAB as a sole source of nitrogen for growth. A mixed culture of strains KTR9 and JS178 was able to completely degrade RDX. There was no difference in rate of RDX degradation by KTR9 alone or in co-culture with JS178. The first-order degradation coefficients of RDX and NDAB in the co-culture were 0.08 hr−1 and 0.002 hr−1, respectively. In the co-culture that initially contained RDX plus NDAB, strain JS178 degraded the NDAB that was produced by KTR9 as shown by a decrease in the molar yield of NDAB (from RDX) from 1.0 to -0.11. Co-cultures of strains KTR9 and JS178 could be used to promote complete degradation of RDX in soils or groundwater. ©2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We address the following questions: (1) what are some key elements of current hydrologic theory; (2) how can those elements best be incorporated where they may be missing in current models; and (3) how can we evaluate competing hydrologic theories across scales and locations? We propose that hydrologic science would benefit from a model-based community synthesis effort to reframe, integrate, and evaluate different explanations of hydrologic behavior, and provide a controlled avenue to find where understanding falls short.

JO - Environmental Pollution JF - Environmental Pollution Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 210 M3 - Article SP - 129 EP - 136 SN - 02697491 AB - To determine if trinitrotoluene (TNT) forms nonextractable residues in mussels ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ) and fish ( Cyprinodon variegatus ) and to measure the relative degree of accumulation as compared to extractable TNT and its major metabolites, organisms were exposed to water fortified with 14 C-TNT. After 24 h, nonextractable residues made up 75% (mussel) and 83% (fish) while TNT accounted for 2% of total radioactivity. Depuration half-lives for extractable TNT, aminodinitrotoluenes (ADNTs) and diaminonitrotoluenes (DANTs) were fast initially (<0.5 h), but slower for nonextractable residues. Nonextractable residues from organisms were identified as ADNTs and DANTs using 0.1 M HCL for solubilization followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Recovered metabolites only accounted for a small fraction of the bound residue quantified using a radiotracer likely because of low extraction or hydrolysis efficiency or alternative pathways of incorporation of radiolabel into tissue.

T1 - Status and Habitat Use of Scaphirhynchus Sturgeons in an Important Fluvial Corridor: Implications for River Habitat Enhancement. JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 145 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 386 EP - 399 SN - 00028487 AB - In the central United States, recovery efforts for populations of the federally endangered Pallid SturgeonScaphirhynchus albushave been ongoing since its listing in 1990. Its congener, the Shovelnose SturgeonS. platorynchus, has also recently been listed as threatened where it overlaps with Pallid Sturgeon. The status of both species in the Mississippi River is unknown and so are habitat enhancement priorities that would benefit their recovery. Using field data collected from 2002 through 2005, we (1) estimated the adult population size of both species using mark–recapture methods and (2) quantified habitat use of these sturgeons with multiple gears to elucidate habitat enhancement priorities in the middle Mississippi River—an important fluvial corridor that connects the upper Mississippi River and Missouri River basins with the lower Mississippi River basin. Population size was estimated to be 1,516 (95% CI = 710–3,463) Pallid Sturgeon (five individuals per river kilometer [rkm]) and 82,336 (95% CI = 59,438–114,585) Shovelnose Sturgeon (266 individuals/rkm). Our population estimate showed a low relative abundance of Pallid Sturgeon in this corridor. However, the population estimate suggests Pallid Sturgeon abundance has increased since its listing in 1990. Shovelnose Sturgeon were more abundant than Pallid Sturgeon, but whether the Shovelnose Sturgeon population is increasing, decreasing, or stable remains unknown. Among 10 habitat types, both species were most frequent at the downstream ends of alluvial islands. Pallid and Shovelnose sturgeons were restricted to flow rates < 1.0 m/s, and their abundance was greatest in depths ranging from 4.5 to 14 m. We suggest alluvial island enhancement may facilitate sturgeon recovery in the middle Mississippi River.

T1 - Consistent SpatioTemporal Estuarine Habitat Use during Emigration or Immigration of a Western Population of Gulf Sturgeon. JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 145 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 43 SN - 00028487 AB - The spatial and seasonal occupancy by Gulf SturgeonAcipenser oxyrinchus desotoiwas estimated using acoustically tagged fish in the Pascagoula River estuary over a 3-year period (2010–2013) and was based on 131,381 detections. Juveniles spent considerably more time in the estuary than subadults or adults, but that varied by year. Gulf Sturgeon of all size-classes entered the acoustic array earlier when stream discharge was high (2011, 2012) compared with when it was lower (2010). The difference was about 14–28 d earlier for adults and subadults but only 12–17 d for juveniles. Temporally, there were no significant differences in occupancy by year or season for adults or subadults or by year for juvenile Gulf Sturgeon, suggesting repeated patterns across the 3 years of this study. Significant and consistent spatial differences in occupancy occurred by array zone, with juveniles occupying the West zone more than the East and River zones of the acoustic array; however, occupancy in the River zone was greater than in the East zone. We found similar patterns for subadults, with the highest occupancy in the West zone compared with the East zone; use was higher in the River zone than in the East zone but there was no difference between the River and West zones. In contrast, no year, season, or zone patterns were identified for adult Gulf Sturgeon, suggesting annual movement along a defined travel corridor (from the River zone to the West zone to offshore islands), with little time spent in the estuary. Adults appear to move quickly through the system during emigration (fall) and immigration (spring) compared with longer but more variable occupancy for juveniles and subadults. Our long-term data illustrates the importance of habitat connectivity in the recovery of Gulf Sturgeon and enhances earlier work on estuarine zones used during migration periods and estuarine residency; both are important for a better understanding of critical habitat maintenance and the development of a robust recovery plan.

Two one-fifth-scale CFFT columns and two one-fifth-scale conventional RC columns having comparable flexural capacities were subjected to distinct levels of explosive loading, causing damage but not complete failure. The blast resilience of the damaged columns was quantified by measuring the residual axial capacity of each column. The damaged CFFT columns exhibited superior strength and ductility retention compared with the damaged RC columns. Additionally, the damaged CFFT columns demonstrated a more predictable axial compressive mode of failure because the exterior FRP tube resisted the shear crack initiation observed in the damaged RC columns.

Even though this problem is widespread, there have been limited attempts to implement risk-based approaches for testing and supply chain management. Supply chain risk management tends to focus on the highly visible disruptions of the supply chain instead of the covert entrance of counterfeits; thus counterfeit risk is difficult to mitigate. This article provides an overview of the complexities of the electronics supply chain, and highlights some gaps in risk assessment practices. In particular, this article calls for enhanced traceability capabilities to track and trace parts at risk through various stages of the supply chain. Placing the focus on risk-informed decision making through the following strategies is needed, including prioritization of high-risk parts, moving beyond certificates of conformance, incentivizing best supply chain management practices, adoption of industry standards, and design and management for supply chain resilience.

Evaluation of Performance and Impacts Using Integrated Life-Cycle Assessment and Decision Analysis. JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 36 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1916 EP - 1935 SN - 02724332 AB - In emergent photovoltaics, nanoscale materials hold promise for optimizing device characteristics; however, the related impacts remain uncertain, resulting in challenges to decisions on strategic investment in technology innovation. We integrate multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) results (LCA-MCDA) as a method of incorporating values of a hypothetical federal acquisition manager into the assessment of risks and benefits of emerging photovoltaic materials. Specifically, we compare adoption of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) devices with molybdenum back contacts to alternative devices employing graphite or graphene instead of molybdenum. LCA impact results are interpreted alongside benefits of substitution including cost reductions and performance improvements through application of multi-attribute utility theory. To assess the role of uncertainty we apply Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis. We find that graphene or graphite back contacts outperform molybdenum under most scenarios and assumptions. The use of decision analysis clarifies potential advantages of adopting graphite as a back contact while emphasizing the importance of mitigating conventional impacts of graphene production processes if graphene is used in emerging CZTS devices. Our research further demonstrates that a combination of LCA and MCDA increases the usability of LCA in assessing product sustainability. In particular, this approach identifies the most influential assumptions and data gaps in the analysis and the areas in which either engineering controls or further data collection may be necessary.

The current paper examines toxic followership using Kelley's typology of followers and provides potential methods of mitigating toxic followership. Just as toxic leaders harm organizations, so too can toxic followers. They both can cause good people to leave an organization, and put the organization's survival at risk.

Longitudinal trends in use of DSs by civilians have been examined, but are unavailable in subpopulations such as military service members. The present study examined longitudinal changes in DS use by soldiers. A standardized questionnaire on DS use was administered in 2006-2007 ( N = 989) and 2010-2011 ( N = 1196) to convenience samples of active duty soldiers. Data were weighted for total population demographics of age, sex, and rank. Regular use of DSs by soldiers increased significantly (56% ± 1.6% vs. 64% ± 1.7%; p ≤ 0.001) over the 4 years primarily because of an increase of DS use among the youngest 18- to 24-year-old soldiers (43.0% ± 2.5% vs 62.3% ± 2.4%; p ≤ 0.01). Protein (22% ± 1.4% vs. 26% ± 1.5%; p ≤ 0.001) and combination (10.0% ± 1.0% vs. 24% ± 1.4%; p ≤ 0.001) product consumption also increased over the 4 years. Individual vitamin and mineral use - including iron, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, B6, B12, and D - significantly increased as well ( p ≤ 0.05). In addition, expenditures on DSs by soldiers increased over time ( p < 0.01). Reasons reported by soldiers for DS use suggest use increased to meet the occupational demands of military service. Educational interventions to minimize inappropriate use of DSs by soldiers are necessary to reduce adverse events resulting from unnecessary use of DSs and the financial burden associated with their use. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR N2 - La prévalence et les modalités d'utilisation des suppléments alimentaires (« DS ») par les soldats de l'armée américaine diffèrent de la population civile. Les tendances longitudinales d'utilisation des DS par les civils ont été scrutées; on constate cependant l'absence de données concernant les sous-populations telles que les membres du service militaire. Cette étude analyse les variations longitudinales de l'utilisation des DS par les soldats. On a soumis un questionnaire standardisé sur l'utilisation de DS à un échantillon de commodité comprenant 989 soldats en 2006-2007 et 1196 soldats en service actif en 2010-2011. Les données sont pondérées en fonction des variables démographiques de la population entière : âge, sexe et rang. L'utilisation régulière de DS par les soldats augmente significativement (56 ± 1,6 % vs 64 ± 1,7 %; p ≤ 0,001) en 4 ans surtout à cause de l'augmentation de l'utilisation des DS chez les soldats du groupe des 18-24 ans (43,0 ± 2,5 % vs 62,3 ± 2,4 %; p ≤ 0,01). La consommation de protéines et de produits combinés augmente aussi en 4 ans : 22 ± 1,4 % vs 26 ± 1,5 %; p ≤ 0,001 et 10,0 ± 1,0 % vs 24 ± 1,4 %; p ≤ 0,001, respectivement. Durant cette période, on observe aussi une augmentation significative ( p ≤ 0,05) de l'utilisation de vitamines et de minéraux : fer, magnésium, sélénium et vitamines A, B6, B12 et D. En outre, les dépenses reliées aux DS augmentent aussi ( p < 0,01). Les soldats rapportent prendre des DS pour répondre aux exigences professionnelles du service militaire. Il faut développer des interventions éducatives afin de réduire l'utilisation injustifiée des DS chez les soldats, et ce, pour diminuer les effets secondaires causés par l'utilisation inutile des DS et minimiser le fardeau financier associé à leur utilisation.

However, to date, high quality clinical trials and thorough knowledge of the physiologic mechanisms involved is lacking. Objectives To examine the effect of dry needling to the infraspinatus muscle on muscle function, nociceptive sensitivity, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) in the symptomatic and asymptomatic shoulders of individuals with unilateral subacromial pain syndrome. Design Within-subjects controlled trial. Methods Fifty-seven volunteers with unilateral subacromial pain syndrome underwent one session of dry needling to bilateral infraspinatus muscles. Outcome assessments, including ultrasonic measures of infraspinatus muscle thickness, pressure algometry, shoulder internal rotation and horizontal adduction ROM, and questionnaires regarding pain and related disability were taken at baseline, immediately after dry needling, and 3–4 days later. Results Participants experienced statistically significant and clinically relevant changes in all self-report measures. Pressure pain threshold and ROM significantly increased 3–4 days, but not immediately after dry needling only in the symptomatic shoulder [Pressure pain threshold: 5.1 (2.2, 8.0) N/cm 2 , internal rotation ROM: 9.6 (5.0, 14.1) degrees, horizontal adduction ROM: 5.9 (2.5, 9.4) degrees]. No significant changes occurred in resting or contracted infraspinatus muscle thickness in either shoulder. Conclusions This study found changes in shoulder ROM and pain sensitivity, but not in muscle function, after dry needling to the infraspinatus muscle in participants with unilateral subacromial pain syndrome. These changes generally occurred 3–4 days after dry needling and only in the symptomatic shoulders.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2013/06/15/ VL - 48 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 4191 EP - 4204 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - Particle-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) have been lauded for their potentially superior mechanical properties such as modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. Though these materials have been synthesized using several modern solid- or liquid-phase processes, the relationships between material types, contents, processing conditions, and the resultant mechanical properties are not well understood. In this paper, we examine the yield strength of particle-reinforced MMNCs by considering individual strengthening mechanism candidates and yield strength prediction models. We first introduce several strengthening mechanisms that can account for increase in the yield strength in MMNC materials, and address the features of currently available yield strength superposition methods. We then apply these prediction models to the existing dataset of magnesium MMNCs. Through a series of quantitative analyses, it is demonstrated that grain refinement plays a significant role in determining the overall yield strength of most of the MMNCs developed to date. Also, it is found that the incorporation of the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch and modulus mismatch strengthening mechanisms will considerably overestimate the experimental yield strength. Finally, it is shown that work-hardening during post-processing of MMNCs employed by many researchers is in part responsible for improvement to the yield strength of these materials.

Original plans called for stabilization of the upstream and downstream slopes and installation of an upstream cutoff wall to reduce underseepage. However, constructability and dam safety issues, along with the results of refined seismic deformation analyses, led to cancellation of the jet grouted upstream slope stabilization and cutoff wall. Downstream slope stabilization was to be accomplished by jet grouting or soil mixing, but ultimately was accomplished using a self-hardening cement-bentonite (C-B) slurry to construct transverse shear walls. A total of 351 transverse shear walls were constructed along the downstream toe by primarily clamshell equipment. Typical shear walls are 13.7 m long, 1.2 m wide, and extend 18.9 m deep or about 6.1 m into the coarse foundation sands. The walls are spaced at 4.3 m on center along the downstream toe for a replacement ratio of about 29%. In addition to the transverse shear walls, the relief well collection ditch along the downstream toe was replaced with a buried collector system to further improve downstream stability and underseepage control.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 8 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Management of natural resources in coastal ecosystems is a complex process that is made more challenging by the need for stakeholders to confront the prospect of sea level rise and a host of other environmental stressors. This situation is especially true for coastal military installations, where resource managers need to balance conflicting objectives of environmental conservation against military mission. The development of restoration plans will necessitate incorporating stakeholder preferences, and will, moreover, require compliance with applicable federal/state laws and regulations. To promote the efficient allocation of scarce resources in space and time, we develop a portfolio decision analytic (PDA) framework that integrates models yielding policy-dependent predictions for changes in land cover and species metapopulations in response to restoration plans, under different climate change scenarios. In a manner that is somewhat analogous to financial portfolios, infrastructure and natural resources are classified as human and natural assets requiring management. The predictions serve as inputs to a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis model (MCDA) that is used to measure the benefits of restoration plans, as well as to construct Pareto frontiers that represent optimal portfolio allocations of restoration actions and resources. Optimal plans allow managers to maintain or increase asset values by contrasting the overall degradation of the habitat and possible increased risk of species decline against the benefits of mission success. The optimal combination of restoration actions that emerge from the PDA framework allows decision-makers to achieve higher environmental benefits, with equal or lower costs, than those achievable by adopting the myopic prescriptions of the MCDA model. The analytic framework presented here is generalizable for the selection of optimal management plans in any ecosystem where human use of the environment conflicts with the needs of threatened and endangered species. The PDA approach demonstrates the advantages of integrated, top-down management, versus bottom-up management approaches.

The three viscoelasticity models employed are a one-term generalized Maxwell (GMn=1) model (consisting of one Maxwell element and an additional spring in parallel), a two-term generalized Maxwell (GMn=2) model (including two parallel Maxwell elements and an additional spring in parallel), and a four-parameter Burgers model. The values of the parameters involved in each model are extracted from the experimental data obtained in this study. The numerical results show that the initial creep response of the composite is predicted fairly well by the GMn=2model, while the secondary creep is more accurately described by the GMn=1model. An implicit solution, together with a retardation time spectrum, obtained using the para-rheological model is found to provide more accurate predictions of the composite creep response than the three viscoelasticity models in both the primary and secondary stages. The long-time response of the composite is also studied using the four models, with the para-rheological model providing the best predictions.

The mathematical models developed by leveraging the dominating effects of freezing and thawing within the cryosphere to simplify the relevant heat transport equations are tractable to direct solution or numerical modeling. In this paper, the heat forcing function is assumed to be a linear transformation of temperature (assumed to be represented by proxy realizations). The output from the governing mathematical model is total ice volume of the cryosphere. The basic mathematical model provides information as a systems modeling approach that includes sufficient detail to explain ice volume given the estimation of the heat forcing function. A comparison between modeling results in the estimation of ice volume versus ice volume estimates developed from use of proxy data are shown in the demonstration problems presented.

The Ankudinov empirical squat prediction formula has been used in the CHL ship simulator and was recently updated. The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (formerly The Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses, PIANC) has recommended several empirical and physics-based formulas for the prediction of ship squat. Some of the most widely used formulas include those of Barrass, Eryuzlu, Huuska, ICORELS, Romisch, Tuck, and Yoshimura. The purpose of this article is to compare BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions with measured DGPS squat data from the Panama Canal for four ships. These comparisons demonstrate that the BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions fall within the range of squat measurements and can be used with confidence in deep draft channel design.

Psychological hardiness marks resilient people who maintain their health and performance despite stressful situations. The present study evaluates psychological hardiness at entry to West Point military academy as a predictor of leader performance and adaptability over time. Predictors also included Scholastic Aptitude Test ( SAT) scores, and a composite indicator of leader potential ( Whole Candidate Score) taken from admissions records. Using the Pulakos adaptability taxonomy as a guide, adaptability performance items were taken from a survey of graduates given 3 years after graduation. Also, military leadership grades as West Point seniors provided an index of traditional military performance. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Whole Candidate Scores predict military leader performance at West Point, but not leader adaptability after graduation. However, hardiness predicts leader performance at West Point, and also leader adaptability (self- and supervisor ratings) after graduation. SAT scores and the challenge facet of hardiness are negative predictors of leader performance at West Point. Results indicate that while the traditional measures Whole Candidate Score predicts leader performance in the stable, highly regulated environment of West Point, it does not predict leader adaptability and performance in the uncertain environment of real-world operations. In contrast, psychological hardiness (commitment and control facets) measured as academy freshmen predicts leader adaptability in officers measured 7 years later. Psychological hardiness appears to be a promising factor in promoting the development of adaptability.

In recent decades, heat waves have generally become more frequent across the United States, while cold waves have been decreasing. While this is in keeping with expectations in a warming climate, it turns out that decadal variations in the number of U.S. heat and cold waves do not correlate well with the observed U.S. warming during the last century. Annual peak flow data reveal that river flooding trends on the century scale do not show uniform changes across the country. While flood magnitudes in the Southwest have been decreasing, flood magnitudes in the Northeast and north-central United States have been increasing. Confounding the analysis of trends in river flooding is multiyear and even multidecadal variability likely caused by both large-scale atmospheric circulation changes and basin-scale "memory" in the form of soil moisture. Droughts also have long-term trends as well as multiyear and decadal variability. Instrumental data indicate that the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the drought in the 1950s were the most significant twentieth-century droughts in the United States, while tree ring data indicate that the megadroughts over the twelfth century exceeded anything in the twentieth century in both spatial extent and duration. The state of knowledge of the factors that cause heat waves, cold waves, floods, and drought to change is fairly good with heat waves being the best understood.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: We can describe protein-protein interactions (PPIs) as sets of distinct domain-domain interactions (DDIs) that mediate the physical interactions between proteins. Experimental data confirm that DDIs are more consistent than their corresponding PPIs, lending support to the notion that analyses of DDIs may improve our understanding of PPIs and lead to further insights into cellular function, disease, and evolution. However, currently available experimental DDI data cover only a small fraction of all existing PPIs and, in the absence of structural data, determining which particular DDI mediates any given PPI is a challenge. Results: We present two contributions to the field of domain interaction analysis. First, we introduce a novel computational strategy to merge domain annotation data from multiple databases. We show that when we merged yeast domain annotations from six annotation databases we increased the average number of domains per protein from 1.05 to 2.44, bringing it closer to the estimated average value of 3. Second, we introduce a novel computational method, parameter-dependent DDI selection (PADDS), which, given a set of PPIs, extracts a small set of domain pairs that can reconstruct the original set of protein interactions, while attempting to minimize false positives. Based on a set of PPIs from multiple organisms, our method extracted 27% more experimentally detected DDIs than existing computational approaches. Conclusions: We have provided a method to merge domain annotation data from multiple sources, ensuring large and consistent domain annotation for any given organism. Moreover, we provided a method to extract a small set of DDIs from the underlying set of PPIs and we showed that, in contrast to existing approaches, our method was not biased towards DDIs with low or high occurrence counts. Finally, we used these two methods to highlight the influence of the underlying annotation density on the characteristics of extracted DDIs. Although increased annotations greatly expanded the possible DDIs, the lack of knowledge of the true biological false positive interactions still prevents an unambiguous assignment of domain interactions responsible for all protein network interactions.

Purpose: To quantify the independent adjusted association of significant ADA STKI risk factors, 2000-2005. Materials/Methods: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (I) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323)- and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STK1 risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. Results: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (I) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). Major Conclusion: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI.

SN - 07490208 AB - Historical shoreline and bathymetric survey data were compiled for the barrier islands and passes fronting Mississippi Sound to identify net littoral sand transport pathways, quantify the magnitude of net sand transport, and develop an operational sediment budget spanning a 90-year period. Net littoral sand transport along the islands and passes is primarily unidirectional (east-to-west). Beach erosion along the east side of each island and sand spit deposition to the west result in an average sand flux of about 400,000 cy/yr (305,000 m³/yr) throughout the barrier island system. Dog Keys Pass, located updrift of East Ship Island, is the only inlet acting as a net sediment sink. It also is the widest pass in the system (about 10 km) and has two active channels and ebb shoals. As such, a deficit of sand exists along East Ship Island. Littoral sand transport decreases rapidly along West Ship Island, where exchange of sand between islands terminates because of wave sheltering from the Chandeleur Islands and shoals at the eastern margin of the St. Bernard delta complex, Louisiana. These data were used to assist with design of a large island restoration project along Ship Island. Mississippi.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2013/05/02/Spring2013 Special Issue 63 M3 - Article SP - 110 EP - 117 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Coastal Louisiana is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. From 1956 to 2010, over 3,734 km² of Louisiana's coastal wetlands have been lost due to a combination of natural and human-induced activities. The resulting landscape constitutes a mosaic of conditions from highly deteriorated to relatively stable with intact landmasses. Understanding how and why coastal landscapes change over time is critical to restoration and rehabilitation efforts. Historically, changes in marsh pattern (i.e., size and spatial distribution of marsh landmasses and water bodies) have been distinguished using visual identification by individual researchers. Difficulties associated with this approach include subjective interpretation, uncertain reproducibility, and laborious techniques. In order to minimize these limitations, this study aims to expand existing tools and techniques via a computer-based method, which uses geospatial technologies for determining shifts in landscape patterns. Our method is based on a raster framework and uses landscape statistics to develop conditions and thresholds for a marsh classification scheme. The classification scheme incorporates land and water classified imagery and a two-part classification system: (1) ratio of water to land, and (2) configuration and connectivity of water within wetland landscapes to evaluate changes in marsh patterns. This analysis system can also be used to trace trajectories in landscape patterns through space and time. Overall, our method provides a more automated means of quantifying landscape patterns and may serve as a reliable landscape evaluation tool for future investigations of wetland ecosystem processes m the northern Gulf of Mexico.

T1 - The Role of Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt in Changing Chloroquine, Amodiaquine, Mefloquine and Lumefantrine Susceptibility in Western-Kenya P. falciparum Samples during 2008–2011 JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 8 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Pfmdr1, and Pfcrt, genes of Plasmodium falciparum may confer resistance to a number of anti-malaria drugs. Pfmdr1 86Y and haplotypes at Pfcrt 72-76 have been linked to chloroquine (CQ) as well as amodiaquine (AQ) resistance. mefloquine (MQ) and lumefantrine (LU) sensitivities are linked to Pfmdr1 86Y. Additionally, Pfcrt K76 allele carrying parasites have shown tolerance to LU. We investigated the association between Pfmdr1 86/Pfcrt 72-76 and P. falciparum resistance to CQ, AQ, MQ and LU using field samples collected during 2008–2011 from malaria endemic sites in western Kenya. Genomic DNA from these samples was genotyped to examine SNPs and haplotypes in Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt respectively. Additionally, immediate ex vivo and in vitro drug sensitivity profiles were assessed using the malaria SYBR Green I fluorescence-based assay. We observed a rapid but steady percent increase in wild-type parasites with regard to both Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt between 2008 and 2011 (p<0.0001). Equally, a significant reciprocate decrease in AQ and CQ median IC50 values occurred (p<0.0001) during the same period. Thus, the data in this study point to a significantly rapid change in parasite response to AQ and CQ in the study period. This may be due to releasing of drug pressure on the parasite from reduced use of AQ in the face of increased Artemisinin (ART) Combination Therapy (ACT) administration following the intervention of the Global Fund in 2008. LU has been shown to select for 76K genotypes, thus the observed increase in 76K genotypes coupled with significant cross resistance between LU and MQ, may herald emergence of tolerance against both drugs in future.

While the pattern itself is clear, there have been very few studies examining whether the magnitude or timing of seasonal mortality varies considerably across space. Thus, the goal of this study is to conduct a comprehensive geographic analysis of seasonal mortality across the United States and to uncover systematic regional differences in such mortality. Unique seasonal mortality curves were created for 28 metropolitan statistical areas across the United States, and the amplitude and timing of mortality peaks were determined. The findings here indicate that the seasonality of mortality exhibits strong spatial variation with the largest seasonal mortality amplitudes found in the southwestern United States and the smallest in the North, along with South Florida. In addition, there were strong intra-regional similarities that exist among the examined cities, implying that environmental factors are more important than social factors in determining seasonal mortality response. This work begins to fill a large gap within the scientific literature concerning the geographic variation and underlying causes of seasonal mortality across the United States.

To prepare for this eventuality, our objective was to use a metabolic network-based approach to rapidly identify potential drug targets and prospectively screen and validate novel small-molecule antimicrobials. Our target organism was the fully virulent Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis Schu S4 strain, a highly infectious intracellular pathogen that is the causative agent of tularemia and is classified as a category A biological agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We proceeded with a staggered computational and experimental workflow that used a strain-specific metabolic network model, homology modeling and X-ray crystallography of protein targets, and ligand- and structure-based drug design. Selected compounds were subsequently filtered based on physiological-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and we selected a final set of 40 compounds for experimental validation of antimicrobial activity. We began screening these compounds in whole bacterial cell-based assays in biosafety level 3 facilities in the 20th week of the study and completed the screens within 12 weeks. Six compounds showed significant growth inhibition of F. tularensis, and we determined their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations and mammalian cell cytotoxicities. The most promising compound had a low molecular weight, was non-toxic, and abolished bacterial growth at 13 µM, with putative activity against pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A, encoded by gene coaD. The novel antimicrobial compounds identified in this study serve as starting points for lead optimization, animal testing, and drug development against tularemia. Our integrated in silico/in vitro approach had an overall 15% success rate in terms of active versus tested compounds over an elapsed time period of 32 weeks, from pathogen strain identification to selection and validation of novel antimicrobial compounds.

Most shots contain accelerometers which record accelerations as a function of time. Statistics of accelerometer data indicate that the muzzle exit accelerations are, on average, higher than tactical firings. For that reason, Soft Catch Gun tests with unusually high accelerations may not be scored for Lot Acceptance Tests (LAT) by some customers. The 95/50 Normal Tolerance Limit (NTL) is proposed as a means of determining which test results should be scored. This paper presents comparisons of Shock Response Spectra (SRS) used for the 95/50 scoring criteria. The paper also provides a Discussion Section outlining some concerns with scoring LAT results based on test results outside of the proposed 95/50 criteria.

JO - BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders JF - BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712474 AB - Background: Low vitamin D status increases the risk of stress fractures. As ultraviolet (UV) light is required for vitamin D synthesis, low UV light availability is thought to increase the risk of vitamin D insufficiency and poor bone health. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if individuals with low UV intensity at their home of record (HOR) or those with darker complexions are at increased risk of developing stress fractures and lower limb fractures during U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center data repository. All Basic trainees were identified from January 1997 to January 2007. Cases were recruits diagnosed with stress fractures and lower limb fractures during BCT. The recruit's home of record (HOR) was identified from the Defense Manpower Data Center database. The average annual UV intensity at the recruits' HOR was determined using a U.S National Weather Service database and recruits were stratified into low (⩽3.9); moderate (4.0-5.4), and high (⩾5.5) UV index regions. Race was determined from self-reports. Results: The dataset had 421,461 men and 90,141women. Compared to men, women had greater risk of developing stress fractures (odds ratio (OR) = 4.5, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 4.4-4.7, p < 0.01). Contrary to the hypothesized effect, male and female recruits from low UV index areas had a slightly lower risk of stress fractures (male OR (low UV/high UV) = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.87-0.97; females OR = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.84-0.95, p < 0.01) and were at similar risk for lower limb fractures (male OR = 0.98, 95%CI = 0.89-1.07; female OR = 0.93, 95%CI = 0.80-1.09) than recruits from high UV index areas. Blacks had lower risk of stress and lower limb fractures than non-blacks, and there was no indication that Blacks from low UV areas were at increased risk for bone injuries. Conclusions: The UV index at home of record is not associated with stress or lower limb fractures in BCT. These data suggest that UV intensity is not a risk factor for poor bone health in younger American adults.

SN - 07490208 AB - Coastal flood-risk mapping requires the prediction of wave runup and overtopping of dikes and beaches. The cross-shore numerical model CSHORE is adjusted to predict irregular wave runup on impermeable dikes. The model is compared with 137 wave runup tests and 97 wave overtopping tests. The seaward boundary of the computation is taken at the location where wave setup is negligible. The spectral period and peak period at this boundary location are specified as input. The model predicts the measured cross-shore variation of the spectral significant wave height on the barred and sloping beaches in front of the dikes. The measured 2% and 1% exceedence runup heights are predicted within errors of about 20% for the spectral period used as input to CSHORE. The model predicts the threshold of wave overtopping, but the minor wave overtopping rates can be predicted only within a factor of 10. The model is also compared with 120 tests for wave runup on gentle uniform slopes as well as wave runup data on natural beaches in order to assess the utility of the numerical model for coastal flood-risk mapping on sand beaches.

Lower Knik Arm is an ideal system for this model evaluation because of the large tide range (approximately 10 m at Anchorage) and complex geometry of the system, which results in high velocities and the formation of numerous eddies throughout the study area. One eddy of primary importance is the one generated by Cairn Point, which occurs near the Port of Anchorage. Limitations of previous modeling studies and the availability of recent field data enabled this evaluation. The AdH results were compared with field data (water surface elevations, fluxes, and velocities) collected in August of 2002 and 2006, and favorable comparisons obtained for tidal amplification and eddy generation indicate that AdH reasonably reproduces the complex hydrodynamic conditions in lower Knik Arm. Simulations were also performed to investigate the importance of eddy viscosity specification, frictional specification, and bathymetry on the generation/evolution of eddies present in the system. Upon completion of the model validation, simulations were performed with modified Cairn Point configurations to investigate the impact to the eddy generated at the port. These results illustrate the variation in eddy generation through lengthening, lowering/reducing, or raising Cairn Point.

JO - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering JF - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 139 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 182 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 0733950X AB - A probabilistic framework is presented for evaluation of hurricane wave and surge risk with particular emphasis on real-time automated estimation for hurricanes approaching landfall. This framework has two fundamental components. The first is the development of a surrogate model for the rapid evaluation of hurricane waves, water levels, and run-up based on a small number of parameters describing each hurricane: hurricane landfall location and heading, central pressure, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. This surrogate model is developed using a response surface methodology fed by information from hundreds of precomputed, high-resolution Simulating Waves Nearshore ( SWAN) + Advanced Circulation Model for Oceanic, Coastal and Estuarine Waters ( ADCIRC) and One-Dimensional Boussinesq Model ( BOUSS-1D) runs. For a specific set of hurricane parameters (i.e., a specific landfalling hurricane), the surrogate model is able to evaluate the maximum wave height, water level, and run-up during the storm at a cost that is more than seven orders of magnitude less than the high-fidelity models and thus meets time constraints imposed by emergency managers and decision makers. The second component of this framework is a description of the uncertainty in the parameters used to characterize the hurricane through appropriate probability models, which then leads to quantification of hurricane risk in terms of a probabilistic integral. This integral is then efficiently computed using the already established surrogate model by analyzing thousands of different scenarios (based on the aforementioned probabilistic description). This allows the rapid computation of, for example, the storm surge that might be exceeded 10% of the time based on hurricane parameters at 48 h from landfall. Finally, by leveraging the computational simplicity and efficiency of the surrogate model, a simple stand-alone PC-based risk-assessment tool is developed that allows nonexpert end users to take advantage of the full potential of the framework. The proposed framework ultimately facilitates the development of a rapid assessment tool for real-time implementation but requires a considerable upfront computational cost to produce high-fidelity model results. As an illustrative example, implementation of hurricane risk estimation for the Island of Oahu in Hawaii is presented; results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach for delivering accurate tools for real-time hurricane risk estimation that have the ability to cross over technology adoption barriers.

Storms with strong sustained easterly winds push water into shallow Breton Sound, overtop the river's east bank south of Pointe à la Hache, Louisiana, penetrate into the river, and are confined by levees on the west bank. The main channel's width and depth allow surge to propagate rapidly and efficiently up river. This work refines the high-resolution, unstructured mesh, wave current Simulating Waves Nearshore + Advanced Circulation () SL16 model to simulate river flow and hurricane-driven surge within the Mississippi River. A river velocity regime-based variation in bottom friction and a temporally variable riverine flow-driven radiation boundary condition are essential to accurately model these processes for high and/or time-varying flows. The coupled modeling system is validated for riverine flow stage relationships, flow distributions within the distributary systems, tides, and Hurricane Gustav (2008) riverine surges.

Methods: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. Results: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p ≤ 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p ≤ 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. Conclusions: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2,and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts.

Infection with LASV leads to the development of hemorrhagic fever in a significant number of cases, and it is estimated that thousands die each year from the disease. Little is known about the complex immune mechanisms governing the response to LASV or the genetic determinants of susceptibility and resistance to infection. In the study presented here, we have used a wholegenome, microarray-based approach to determine the temporal host response in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of non-human primates (NHP) following aerosol exposure to LASV. Sequential sampling over the entire disease course showed that there are strong transcriptional changes of the immune response to LASV exposure, including the early induction of interferon-responsive genes and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. However, this increase in early innate responses was coupled with a lack of pro-inflammatory cytokine response in LASV exposed NHPs. There was a distinct lack of cytokines such as IL1β and IL23α, while immunosuppressive cytokines such as IL27 and IL6 were upregulated. Comparison of IRF/STAT1-stimulated gene expression with the viral load in LASV exposed NHPs suggests that mRNA expression significantly precedes viremia, and thus might be used for early diagnostics of the disease. Our results provide a transcriptomic survey of the circulating immune response to hemorrhagic LASV exposure and provide a foundation for biomarker identification to allow clinical diagnosis of LASV infection through analysis of the host response.

And yet, education has been glacially slow to adopt these changes in a large scale way, and innovations seem to be imposed mainly by students' and their changing social lifestyles than by policy. Will this change? Leadership is sorely needed. Education needs to become more modular and move out of the classroom into informal settings, homes, and especially the internet. Nationwide certifications based on these modules would permit technology to enter education more rapidly. Smaller nations may be more flexible in making these very disruptive changes.

SN - 08949867 AB - This matched single-blind pilot study tested the effect of Transcendental Meditation® (TM) practice on symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS) in Congolese refugees. Urban refugees ( N = 102) staying around Kampala, Uganda attended introductory meetings. After initial random assignment to the TM group, 30 refugees who revealed that they were unable to attend all meetings and were eliminated from the study. The remaining 21 TM group participants were then instructed in TM and matched with refugees in the control group on age, sex, and baseline scores on the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C). All participants completed the PCL-C measure of PTS symptoms at baseline, and 30-day and 135-day posttests. The PCL-C scores in the control group trended upward. In contrast, the PCL-C scores in the TM group went from 65 on average at baseline indicating severe PTS symptoms to below 30 on average after 30 days of TM practice, and remained low at 135 days. Effect size was high ( d > 1.0). Compliance with TM practice was good; most reported regular practice throughout the study. There were no adverse events. All refugees who learned TM completed the study and were able to practice TM successfully, with subsequent substantial reduction in PTS symptoms.

While most of the currently available software programs for the physical testing of normal design loading conditions have been validated, the testing does not include the blast environment. It has not been determined whether these programs can be used when blast loads are included. Currently, designers use multiple software packages to perform multihazard analyses when blast loads are involved, making it difficult to compare the results. This analysis has as major topics air-blast and structural responses. The three standard air-blast codes used are ConWep, BlastX, and SBEDS, and the four structural response codes used are SBEDS, STAAD, ADINA, and DYNA3D. All analyses are compared against a test series that loaded standard open web steel joist sections dynamically with an air-blast load. This paper compares the output and results of each program against the test results to determine if the software is comparable in an effort to simplify the multihazard analysis process.

Maintenance and repair strategies over the analysis period (from present to the end of the structure's lifetime) are determined through reliability assessment for structures with relatively low condition indices. The level of maintenance activity is then to be determined by the life-cycle cost analysis and environmental life-cycle assessment of M&R alternatives. The optimal M&R alternative is the one with the lowest cost combined with minimal environmental impact. Using these methodologies, the SSP structure owners will gain improved capabilities to monitor present-day conditions of SSP infrastructure and prioritize structures that will require sustainable M&R. Further research is proposed to collect real field-inspection data and create M&R records that can be used to estimate the reliability more accurately. In addition, the methodology developed for this relatively simple type of structure can be extended to more complex and critical structural systems such as gates, valves, and other components making up locks, dams, and other related navigational facilities.

Mean number of sturgeon entrained per kilometer of navigation was estimated at 0.02, and mean number entrained annually considering towboat traffic was estimated at 0.38 sturgeon/ha. Losses associated with entrainment were mostly lower than fishery harvest, although differences were not large. The two sources of mortality combined could potentially reduce the mature adult population to a level where it no longer has the reproductive capacity to replenish itself. Thus, through a combination of entrainment and fishing mortality shovelnose sturgeon may be looming near unsustainable population levels. These estimates are preliminary considering the many uncertainties associated with quantifying entrainment and its effects. Additional research is needed not only to derive better estimates, but also to develop options for managing entrainment.

A speed sweep at constant lift up to an advance ratio of 0.4 and a thrust sweep at constant speed into deep stall are investigated. The coupled analysis shows significant improvement over comprehensive analysis. Normal force phase is better captured for all the test conditions examined. Pitching moment is better predicted, including the magnitude and phase of the two stall events in the fourth quadrant at the deeply stalled condition. Structural loads are, in general, improved with the coupled analysis, but the magnitude of chord bending moment is still significantly underpredicted. As there are three modes around 4 and 5/rev frequencies, the structural responses to the 5/rev airloads due to dynamic stall are magnified and thus accurate analysis of the deeply stalled condition is challenging.

The data were collected from 2,572 U.S. Army soldiers representing three organizational levels deployed in combat. Findings provide limited support for simple trickle-down mechanisms of ethical leadership but broader support for a multilevel model that takes into account how leaders embed shared understandings through their influence on the ethical culture of units at various levels, which in turn influence followers' ethical cognitions and behavior. The influences of ethical leadership occur not only directly, among immediate followers within a unit, but also indirectly, across hierarchical levels, through the cascading of ethical culture and senior leaders' influences on subordinate leader behavior. We discuss scholarly and practical implications for understanding how leaders transmit ethical influence both down and across large organizations.

The generalization process is strengthened when a relational other is prototypical-that is, is seen as promoting core organizational values. We investigate these propositions via two field studies. First, we find, via temporally lagged data from 186 newcomers to the telemarketing industry, that relational identification with a supervisor generalizes to organizational identification through affective (i.e., affect transfer), cognitive (i.e., social influence), and behavioral (i.e., behavioral "sensemaking") mediating mechanisms. Second, we find, via temporally lagged data from 1,101 newcomers to the U.S. Army, that a newcomer's relational identification with his/her supervisor generalizes to the newcomer's organizational identification, but only when the supervisor is perceived to be prototypical. Our combined findings suggest that (1) multiple identifications are more integrative than exclusive and (2) organizational membership may be more personalized and relational than previously assumed in extant research.

The effects of low-level blast exposure on high-contrast visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, oculomotor function, color vision, visual field (VF), pupillary light reflex, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cup-to-disc ratio were assessed using a battery of standard clinical ophthalmic tests administered 10 times over a 2-year period. Data from nine male breacher instructors (Cadre) were compared with data from four male breacher engineers (Control). The Cadre group showed higher vertical deviation at near than the Control group over time. The VF mean deviation on the left eye tended to be worse in the Cadre group throughout the study, suggesting a decrease in VF sensitivity (Cadre: -0.20 +/- 0.15 dB; Control: 1.05 +/- 0.15 dB; p = 0.03). The Cadre group had a reduced ECD (right eye: Cadre 2,478 cells/mm² vs Control 2,808 cells/ mm², p = 0.02; left eye: Cadre 2,562 cells/mm² vs Control 2,892 cells/mm², p = 0.03). These results suggest that even low-level primary blast has the potential to produce occult eye injury.

However, many eligible students do not apply and consequently forgo significant amounts of financial aid. If students have perfect information about aid eligibility, we would expect that all eligible students complete FAFSA and no aid would go unclaimed. Using data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey, I estimate a multinomial logit model which controls for all variables that contribute to aid eligibility and other student characteristics that may deter FAFSA completion. I find that students who are lower middle income, white, male and independent from parents are less likely to complete FAFSA even when they are eligible for aid. Using propensity score matching, I find that each year applicants forgo $9,741.05 in total aid (including grant and loan aid) which includes $1,281.00 of Pell Grants, $2,439.50 of the balance subsidized student loans, $1,986.65 of the balance of unsubsidized student loans, and $1,016.04 of institutional grants. These aid totals aggregate to $24 billion annually.

SN - 01674366 AB - Windbreaks are valuable resources in conserving soils and providing crop protection in Great Plains states in the US. Currently, Kansas has no up-to date inventory of windbreaks. The goal of this project was to assist foresters with future windbreak renovation planning and reporting, by outlining a series of semi-automated digital image processing methods that rapidly identify windbreak locations. There were two specific objectives of this research. First, to develop semi-automated methods to identify the location of windbreaks in Kansas, this can be applied to other regions in Kansas and the Great Plains. We used a remote sensing technique known as object-based image analysis (OBIA) to classify windbreaks visible in the color aerial imagery of National Agriculture Imagery Program. We also combined GIS techniques and field survey to complement OBIA in generating windbreak inventory. The techniques successfully located more than 4500, windbreaks covering an approximate area of 2500, hectares in 14 Kansas counties. The second purpose of this research is to determine how well the results of the automated classification schemes match with other available windbreak data and the selected sample collected in the field. The overall accuracy of OBIA method was 58.97 %. OBIA combined with 'heads up' digitizing and field survey method yielded better result in identifying and locating windbreaks in the studied counties with overall accuracy of 96 %.

Berryman Institute SN - 21553858 AB - During recent decades, rotary-wing aircraft (helicopters) within the U.S. Department of Defense (e.g., U.S Army and U.S. Air Force) have been deployed overseas to conduct a variety of noncombat and combat missions. Our objective was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of wildlife (birds, bats, insects) strikes with U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force rotarywing aircraft during overseas deployments. We acquired all available wildlife strike information involving U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force military rotary-wing aircraft engaged in flight operations associated with U.S. military bases around the world during 1990 to 2011. Wildlife strikes with military rotary-wing aircraft occurred in >31 foreign countries. Almost two-thirds of wildlife strikes to U.S. Army aircraft occurred during deployments in the Middle East (e.g., Iraq), whereas, strikes to U.S. Air Force aircraft occurred most frequently in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Month, time of day, and location (i.e., on airfield or off airfield) influenced the frequency of wildlife strikes. Wildlife strikes occurred most frequently when aircraft were traveling en route or were engaged in terrain flight. Larks, doves, pigeons, and various perching birds were the species most frequently struck by military aircraft. Wildlife strike records related to U.S. military overseas operations represent a unique source of ornithological information from areas of military conflict.

SN - 09603166 AB - Barotrauma caused by rapid decompression during hydroturbine (turbine) passage may occur as fish move through the low pressure region below the turbine runner. This scenario is of particular concern in North American rivers with populations of ESA-listed salmon. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory released Sensor Fish into lower Snake and Columbia River turbines to determine the magnitude and rate of pressure change fish might experience. Recorded pressures were applied to simulated turbine passage (STP) in laboratory studies to determine the effect of rapid decompression on juvenile Chinook salmon. These STP studies have increased our understanding of how pressure effects fish passing through turbines and suggest that the ratio of pressure change [acclimation pressure (the depth upstream of the dam where fish are neutrally buoyant) divided by nadir pressure (lowest pressure)] is highly predictive in determining the effect on smolt survival. However, uncertainty remains in smolt acclimation depth prior to entering turbine intakes at hydroelectric facilities. The USACE continues to make progress on salmon survival and recovery efforts through continued research and by applying pressure study results to turbine design. Designing new turbines with higher nadir pressure criteria is likely to provide safer fish passage for all salmonid species experiencing turbine passage.

SN - 03781909 AB - One thousand late-fall run Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) hatchery reared smolts were fitted with ultrasonic coded tags over a two-year period (in 2009 and 2010) and released in the Sacramento River. We tracked their outmigration movements from Benicia Bridge to the Golden Gate. Smolts transited the Bay rapidly in 2 to 4 days, yet also made repeated upstream movements, coinciding with incoming tidal flows. Most smolts were detected in deep, channelized portions of the Bay. Some smolts were detected at nearshore, shallow sites such as marinas, or up tributaries, yet these fish generally returned to the main channel and continued their outmigration. The results suggest that the smolts perceive little benefit to remaining in estuarine waters, and therefore actively attempt to reach the ocean in as short a time as possible, rather than being transported passively by flows.

SN - 01979337 AB - ABSTRACT Mechanistic models have been proposed for soil piping and internal erosion on well-compacted levees and dams, but limited research has evaluated these models in less compacted (more erodible) soils typical of hillslopes and streambanks. This study utilized a soil box (50 cm long, 50 cm wide and 20 cm tall) to conduct constant-head, soil pipe and internal erosion experiments for two soils (clay loam from Dry Creek and sandy loam from Cow Creek streambanks) packed at uniform bulk densities. Initial gravimetric moisture contents prior to packing were 10, 12 and 14% for Dry Creek soil and 8, 12, and 14% for Cow Creek soil. A 1-cm diameter rod was placed horizontally along the length of the soil bed during packing and carefully removed after packing to create a continuous soil pipe. A constant head was maintained at the inflow end. Flow rates and sediment concentrations were measured from the pipe outlet. Replicate submerged jet erosion tests (JETs) were conducted to derive erodibility parameters for repacked samples at the same moisture contents. Flow rates from the box experiments were used to calibrate the mechanistic model. The influence of the initial moisture content was apparent, with some pipes (8% moisture content) expanding so fast that limited data was collected. The mechanistic model was able to estimate equivalent flow rates to those observed in the experiments, but had difficulty matching observed sediment concentrations when the pipes rapidly expanded. The JETs predicted similar erodibility coefficients compared to the mechanistic model for the more erodible cases but not for the less erodible cases (14% moisture content). Improved models are needed that better define the changing soil pipe cross-section during supply- and transport-limited internal erosion, especially for piping through lower compacted (more erodible) soils as opposed to more well-compacted soils resulting from constructing levees and dams.

To date, however, few studies have explored possible mechanisms of action in these treatments.Method: Active duty Soldiers (N=152) with a recent suicide attempt and/or active suicide ideation were randomized to receive brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) or treatment as usual (TAU). The Suicide Attempt Self-Injury Inventory (Linehan et al., 2006a) was used to assess the incidence of suicide attempts during the 2-year follow-up. The wish to live and the wish to die were assessed with items 1 and 2, respectively, of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (Beck and Steer, 1991).Results: Across both treatments, the wish to live was significantly weaker among patients who attempted suicide but the wish to die was stronger only among patients who attempted suicide in TAU. Among nonattempters, the wish to die stabilized the wish to live, but among attempters the wish to live and the wish to die were not associated with each other. In BCBT the wish to live destabilized the wish to die among nonattempters.Limitations: Self-report methodology, predominantly male sample.Conclusions: The emergence of suicidal behavior is driven primarily by the absence of the wish to live. BCBT is associated with a unique coupling of an ambivalent wish to live and wish to die, which may suggest an underlying mechanism of action.

A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in our regional Burn Center in which bacterial swab specimens were collected from both the CAC and ID of 10 burn intensive care unit employees in each of five cohorts (nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, physicians, and ancillary staff). Ten additional paired samples, collected from direct care staff in the outpatient burn clinic, served as control. Additional information described how the cards were worn and if/how they had been cleaned in the previous week. Fifty-eight CACs and 60 IDs were swabbed from participants. The overall contamination rate was 75%, with no trends identified based on how cards were worn. Bacteria were recovered from 86% (50/58) of CACs and 65% (39/60) of IDs, with CACs being significantly more contaminated overall than IDs (P < .01). In terms of potentially pathogenic bacteria, the overall rate was 3%, with 100% of those isolates coming from the outpatient clinic staff cohort (P < .001). When cleaned in the last week (n = 16), the contamination rate dropped to 50% overall (P = .003), indicating that even periodic cleaning appears to have a positive effect on bacterial contamination rates. The simple practice of routine identity card decontamination may reduce potential threats to patient safety as a result of nosocomial bacterial transmission.

Demographic and occupational parameters were identified, and multiple surgical factors and clinical outcomes were extracted from the medical record and US Defense Manpower Data Center.Results: A total of 64 service members (65 shoulders) underwent anterior bone block procedures, including coracoid transfer (n = 59, 90.8%), distal tibial allograft (n = 3, 4.6%), and autologous or allograft iliac crest bone graft (n = 3, 4.6%). This group was predominately comprised of men (n = 59), and the mean age was 25.9 years (range, 19 to 45 years). A total of 19 perioperative complications, including 8 neurologic injuries, 6 infections, and 4 hardware failures, occurred in 16 patients (25%). At a mean 2.4-year follow-up, 21 patients (32.8%) reported persistent shoulder pain and 15 patients (23.4%) disclosed subjective apprehension or recurrent instability. Secondary surgical procedures were performed in 12 patients (18.8%), including 4 revisions (6.3%). Ultimately, 20 patients (31.3%) underwent a medical discharge for persistent shoulder disability. Univariate analysis showed that the presence of a perioperative complication (P = .049) and tobacco use (P = .038) were associated with increased risk of subsequent surgical failure.Conclusions: Anterior glenoid bone block procedures for shoulder instability with concomitant bone loss enable a return to high-demand physical function. The short-term complication profile (25%), recurrence rate (23%), and persistence of shoulder pain (33%) should be emphasized during preoperative counseling, particularly in an active military population and revision setting. Although moderately successful in the military, anterior bone block procedures for complex shoulder instability can be associated with significant short-term complications and morbidity.Level Of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. On the basis of these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted depressed mood status in 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that the use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying Soldiers at higher risk for mental health issues. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in Soldiers.

A total of 35 active duty U.S. Army Soldiers participated in laboratory testing before and after deployment to Afghanistan. The following measures were obtained for each Soldier: shoulder, trunk, hip, knee, and ankle strength and range of motion (ROM), balance, body composition, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic power/capacity. Additionally, Soldiers were asked about their physical activity and load carriage. Paired t tests or Wilcoxon tests with an α = 0.05 set a priori were used for statistical analyses. Shoulder external rotation ROM, torso rotation ROM, ankle dorsiflexion ROM, torso rotation strength, and anaerobic power significantly increased following deployment (p < 0.05). Shoulder extension ROM, shoulder external rotation strength, and eyes-closed balance (p < 0.05) were significantly worse following deployment. The majority of Soldiers (85%) engaged in physical activity. In addition, 58% of Soldiers reported regularly carrying a load (22 kg average). The deployment-related changes in musculoskeletal and physiological characteristics and balance as well as physical activity and load carriage during deployment may assist with proper preparation with the intent to optimize tactical readiness and mitigate injury risk.

SP - 1142 EP - 1150 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 181 IS - 9 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Potable water is essential to maintain health and sustain military operations, but carrying and transporting water is a major logistical burden. Planning for group drinking water needs is complex, requiring understanding of sweat losses on the basis of intensity of activity, clothing biophysical parameters, and environmental conditions. Use of existing prediction equations is limited to tabled doctrine (e.g., Technical Bulletin, Medical 507) or to individuals with extensive expertise in thermal biophysics. In the present project, we translated the latest updated equations into a user-friendly Android application (Soldier Water Estimation Tool, SWET) that provides estimated drinking water required from 5 simple inputs based upon a detailed multiparametric sensitivity analysis. Users select from multiple choice inputs for activity level, clothing, and cloud cover, and manually enter exact values for temperature and relative humidity. Total drinking water needs for a unit are estimated in the Mission Planner tool on the basis of mission duration and number of personnel. In preliminary user acceptability testing, responses were overall positive in terms of ease of use and military relevance. Use of SWET for water planning will minimize excessive load (water) carriage in training and mission settings, and will reduce the potential for dehydration and/or hyponatremia to impair Warfighter health and performance.

Soldiers were asked to self-report injuries sustained in the last 12 months and whether or not they reported those injuries to a medical provider. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze treatment alternatives. Chi-square test was used to assess any significant relationships between injury and various demographics.Results: There were 808 (58%) Soldiers who stated they had an injury that they did not report. Over-the-counter pain relief medication (81%) was the most commonly selected alternative treatment.Conclusion: Over-the-counter pain medication was frequently used for symptom management among Soldiers who did not report their injury to a medical provider.

We conducted a study of sickle cell trait in relation to these outcomes, controlling for known risk factors for exertional rhabdomyolysis, in a large population of active persons who had undergone laboratory tests for hemoglobin AS (HbAS) and who were subject to exertional-injury precautions.Methods: We used Cox proportional-hazards models to test whether the risks of exertional rhabdomyolysis and death varied according to sickle cell trait status among 47,944 black soldiers who had undergone testing for HbAS and who were on active duty in the U.S. Army between January 2011 and December 2014. We used the Stanford Military Data Repository, which contains comprehensive medical and administrative data on all active-duty soldiers.Results: There was no significant difference in the risk of death among soldiers with sickle cell trait, as compared with those without the trait (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 2.13; P=0.97), but the trait was associated with a significantly higher adjusted risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis (hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.12 to 2.12; P=0.008). This effect was similar in magnitude to that associated with tobacco use, as compared with no use (hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.94; P<0.001), and to that associated with having a body-mass index (BMI; the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of 30.0 or more, as compared with a BMI of less than 25.0 (hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.86; P=0.03). The effect was less than that associated with recent use of a statin, as compared with no use (hazard ratio, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.51 to 5.55; P=0.001), or an antipsychotic agent (hazard ratio, 3.02; 95% CI, 1.34 to 6.82; P=0.008).Conclusions: Sickle cell trait was not associated with a higher risk of death than absence of the trait, but it was associated with a significantly higher risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis.

Injury frequency, injury anatomic location and sublocation, injury cause, activity when injury occurred, and injury type were described. Injury frequency was 29.5 injuries per 100 subjects per year. Most injures affected the lower extremity (60.2% of injuries) and common anatomic sublocations for injuries were the ankle (17.3%) and knee (15.0%). Frequent causes of injuries were running (13.5%) and direct trauma (9.0%). Physical training was associated with 29.3% of the injuries. A majority of injuries were classified as pain/spasm/ache (29.3%), without further elucidation of pathology. Other frequent injury types were sprain (21.8%) and strain (14.3%). The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running. There is scope for the development of an optimized and targeted physical training program for injury prevention in this population.

Across all four categories, the most affected occupations were identified, among which we chose three Army combat-related military occupational specialties (MOSs) for detailed study. We identified skills needed to perform these MOSs and explored whether MOS-critical deficits could be expected following the injuries.Results: Some DoD occupations are more likely to suffer from these injuries, including Infantry, Combat Operations Control, Artillery/Gunnery, Motor Vehicle Operator, Combat Engineering, and Armor/Amphibious. Within these DoD occupations, we explored three Army combatant MOSs: Infantry (11B), Cavalry Scout (19D), and Artillery (13B), confirming that these jobs are likely to be disrupted by injuries within the four categories.Conclusions: Head and sensory injuries disproportionately affect certain military occupations. Relatively few injuries disrupt combat-related abilities that are job critical (e.g., firearms operation) and job specific (e.g., Artillery gunnery problems); these should be the focus of efforts to improve rehabilitation and RTD outcomes.

We explored the dengue diagnosis capability gap by circulating a questionnaire among military end users to determine in what capacity diagnostic test results are needed and how these results would be used at various roles of care in the Military Health System. Results were used to generate target product profiles for potential diagnostic tests. We determined that at far-forward locations, diagnostic tests need to be rugged and easy to use and are primarily needed to inform medical evacuation decisions. In mobile or fixed hospitals, diagnostics can be less portable but must be accurate enough to inform patient care decisions reliably. We then evaluated the suitability of using rapid diagnostic tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on published performance characteristics, and we used a model to determine positive and negative predictive values in certain simulated deployments. In far-forward settings, a rapid diagnostic test comprising both antigen- and antibody-based detection can fulfill the capability gap with reasonable accuracy, whereas at higher roles of care immunoglobulin M-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was determined to be the most suitable option.

One adjunct in burn resuscitation is continuous, high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) infusion, which may reduce fluid requirements and thus decrease the risk for over resuscitation. Research in preclinical studies and clinical trials has shown continuous infusions of high-dose vitamin C to be beneficial with decrease in resuscitative volumes and limited adverse effects. However, high-dose and low-dose vitamin C supplementation has been shown to cause secondary calcium oxalate nephropathy, worsen acute kidney injury, and delay renal recovery in non-burn patients. To the best of our knowledge, the authors present the first case series in burn patients in whom calcium oxalate nephropathy has been identified after high-dose vitamin C therapy.

The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) Prevention Practice Committee is an active participant in the Choosing Wisely project. The committee created the ACPM Choosing Wisely Task Force to lead the development of ACPM's recommendations with the intention of facilitating wise decisions about the appropriate use of preventive care. After utilizing an iterative process that involved reviewing evidence-based literature, the ACPM Choosing Wisely Task Force developed five recommendations targeted toward overused services within the field of preventive medicine. These include: (1) don't take a multivitamin, vitamin E, or beta carotene to prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer; (2) don't routinely perform prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer; (3) don't use whole-body scans for early tumor detection in asymptomatic patients; (4) don't use expensive medications when an equally effective and lower-cost medication is available; and (5) don't perform screening for cervical cancer in low-risk women aged 65 years or older and in women who have had a total hysterectomy for benign disease. The Task Force also reviewed some of the barriers to implementing these recommendations, taking into account the interplay between system and environmental characteristics, and identified specific strategies necessary for timely utilization of these recommendations.

This study examines the intersection of these two status characteristics utilizing survey data of American military academy cadets, Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadets, and civilian students ( n = 5,051). Majorities of military cadets, regardless of race, supported both of these wars more than their civilian counterparts, but African-Americans are significantly less supportive of the wars relative to their peers within each group. African-American cadets support both wars less so than whites and cadets of other races, but African-American cadets supported both wars more than African-American civilians. It appears that racial and military affiliations combine to yield a unique perspective on war, adapting elements of both statuses. These findings support the concept of intersectionality.

EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to “push the conversation” on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers.

The current strategy for treating hemorrhagic shock is based on early use of components: Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and platelets in a 1:1:1 ratio. We suggest that lack of components to mimic whole blood functionality favors the use of Fresh Whole Blood in managing hemorrhagic shock on the battlefield. We present a safe and practical approach for its use at the point of injury in the combat environment called Tactical Damage Control Resuscitation. We describe pre-deployment preparation, assessment of hemorrhagic shock, and collection and transfusion of fresh whole blood at the point of injury. By approaching shock with goal-directed therapy, it is possible to extend the period of survivability in combat casualties.

Methods: 341 male Soldiers from a U.S. Army Combined Arms Battalion ran at their training pace for 100 meters, and FSs were recorded in the sagittal plane. Participants also completed a survey related to training habits, injury history, and run times. Two researchers classified FS patterns as heel strike (HS) or nonheel strike (NHS, combination of midfoot strike and forefoot strike patterns). Two clinicians classified the musculoskeletal injuries as acute or overuse. The relationship of FS type with two-mile run time and running-related injury was analyzed (p ≤ 0.05). Results: The Soldiers predominately landed with an HS (87%) and only 13% were characterized as NHS. Running-related injury was similar between HS (50.3%) and NHS (55.6%) patterns (p = 0.51). There was no difference (p = 0.14) between overuse injury rates between an HS pattern (31.8%) and an NHS pattern (31.0%). Two-mile run times were also similar, with both groups averaging 14:48 minutes. Conclusion: Soldiers were mostly heel strikers (87%) in this U.S. Army Combined Arms Battalion. Neither FS pattern was advantageous for increased performance or decreased incidence of running-related injury.

(Jan. 7 issue)(1) found no significant survival benefit of using convalescent plasma with unknown levels of neutralizing antibodies in patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD). Survivors of EVD donated plasma anywhere from 2 months to 6 months or more after they had recovered. Substantial immune activation and robust B-cell and T-cell responses have been observed in patients with acute EVD and in some patients during convalescence,(2) although humoral response has not been thoroughly studied in EVD. We have found that in convalescent patients, specific neutralizing activity against Ebola virus glycoprotein . . .

SN - 01757598 AB - The feasibility of using a microalga Chlorella vulgaris YSW-04 was investigated for removal of nutrients from piggery wastewater effluent. The consequent lipid production by the microalga was also identified and quantitatively determined. The wastewater effluent was diluted to different concentrations ranging from 20 to 80 % of the original using either synthetic media or distilled water. The dilution effect on both lipid production and nutrient removal was evaluated, and growth rate of C. vulgaris was also monitored. Dilution of the wastewater effluent improved microalgal growth, lipid productivity, and nutrient removal. The growth rate of C. vulgaris was increased with decreased concentration of piggery wastewater in the culture media regardless of the diluent type. Lipid production was relatively higher when using synthetic media than using distilled water for dilution of wastewater. The composition of fatty acids accumulated in microalgal biomass was dependent upon both dilution ratio and diluent type. The microalga grown on a 20 % concentration of wastewater effluent diluted with distilled water was more promising for generating high-efficient biodiesel compared to the other culture conditions. The highest removal of inorganic nutrients was also achieved at the same dilution condition. Our results revealed the optimal pretreatment condition for the biodegradation of piggery wastewater with microalgae for subsequent production of high-efficient biodiesel.

SN - 00188158 AB - We assessed if the qualitative and quantitative aspects of plankton composition in reservoirs of the middle Missouri River were influenced by hydrologic variability. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in six reservoirs of this highly regulated system were sampled between 2004 and 2011 during historic drought, subsequent recovery, and a 100-year flood event. The reservoir system encompasses a broad latitudinal gradient of decreasing depth, decreasing water residence time and increasing trophic state. Phytoplankton communities of the upper three reservoirs were co-dominated by planktonic and meroplanktonic diatoms during the drought, recovery, and flood periods, but the proportion of more silicified meroplanktonic diatoms increased in the lower three reservoirs as water residence time decreased. Peak phytoplankton biovolume usually occurred during spring/early summer and was associated with increased hydrologic inflows and outflows. Zooplankton biomass of the reservoir system was dominated by Daphnia spp., but all zooplankton groups decreased as inflows and outflows accelerated during the recovery and flood periods. Rotifer abundances were higher under turbulent conditions associated with dam operations. Canonical correlation analyses suggested that temperature, water residence time, station depth, and water clarity explained more variance in the structures of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities than bioavailable nutrient parameters.

Latin American countries have been moving toward the concepts of multidimensional security and security of the individual and society, and away from the classical understanding of the security dilemma posed by an external threat to the state. Illegal narcotics, the proliferation of guns, and other transnational threats, combined with undergoverned space and the weak state syndrome, generated an extraordinary crime wave, which gives the region the highest murder rate in the world. Moreover, crime imposes a heavy cost on economic growth and democratic governance. This insecurity crosses international borders, and the institutions of public security--police, military, and judicial systems-- are hard pressed to meet the challenge. The privatization of security is a symptom of the problem and a potential source of abuse. The United States shares responsibility for the violence due to U.S. demand for illegal drugs and the fact that it is a supplier of arms to Latin America. At the same time, there is a growing consensus in support of common action, as evidenced by the international coalition that is operating under Operation Martillo--the antinarcotics effort in the Caribbean and Central America. Moreover, a number of Latin American countries contribute to international peace operations. Accordingly, the new strategic consensus among Latin American countries should be a cause for common action.

One goal of the workshop was to establish a roadmap to building an evidence base on that would indicate whether acupuncture is helpful for treating active-duty military personnel experiencing acute pain. The workshop highlighted brief presentations on the most current research on acupuncture and acute pain mechanisms. The impact of various modifiers (stress, genetics, population, phenotypes, etc.) on acute pain pathways and response to acupuncture treatment was discussed. Additional presentations focused on common neural mechanisms, an overview of real-world experience with using acupuncture to treat traumatic acute pain, and best tools and methods specific for acupuncture studies. Three breakout groups addressed the gaps, opportunities, and barriers to acupuncture use for acute pain in military and trauma settings. Different models of effectiveness research and optimal research designs for conducting trials in acute traumatic pain were also discussed.

Annuli in sagittal otoliths formed once a year in early spring in both reservoirs. South Holston Lake (n = 99 Lake Trout) has been stocked since 2006, and the oldest fish was age 4. Watauga Lake has been stocked since the mid-1980s, and we collected 158 Lake Trout up to age 20. Annual mortality for age-3 and older fish in Watauga Lake was 24%. When compared to Lake Trout in northern lakes, Tennessee Lake Trout exhibited average to above-average growth and longevity. Condition of Lake Trout in both reservoirs varied seasonally and tended to be lowest in fall, but rebounded in winter and spring. Lake Trout in both reservoirs appeared to be spatially segregated from pelagic prey fishes during summer stratification, but growth rates and body condition were high enough to suggest that neither system was being overstocked.

Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs.

This extends the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) guidance for incorporating the effects of future MSLR into coastal projects. While USACE relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 19-year National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) for its datum relationships, the approach proposed herein generalizes this guidance by choosing the appropriate 19-year epoch centered on the start year of the MSLR scenario under consideration. The procedure takes into account the local annual sea level variability, which confounds the matching to any given single year while generalizing and preserving the 19-year averaging long used by NOAA to calculate the NTDE. Examples of the MSLR scenario matching procedure are given using actual data and projections for La Jolla, California, and Sewells Point (Hampton Roads), Virginia.

Through the use of validated, coupled wave and hydrodynamic models, this study investigates SLR effects on storm surge and nearshore waves, including variation with coastal landscape type and storm characteristics. Both the wave and hydrodynamic models account for bottom friction based on land-use type, so the modeling procedure accounted for SLR-related changes to land cover, in addition to higher mean sea levels. Simulation of storms with similar meteorological characteristics and track but with landfall in the northeastern and southwestern coastal areas allowed examination of how the coastal features influenced the storm surge and wave response to increased sea levels. The simulation results analyzed here demonstrate that the relationship between storm surge and relative SLR (RSLR) varies between geographic region and storm scenario. The increase in an inundated area is linear in the north, and in the south, the inundated area approaches the northern values for similar storms asymptotically. Nearshore wave results indicate, as expected, that larger water depths created by positive RSLR and amplified surge allow larger waves to propagate into inland areas. For the Texas simulations, it was found that an increase in hurricane wind speeds of 25% is approximately equivalent to a RSLR of 0.5 m in terms of increased area of inundation impact. Because of the complexities of storm-surge dependency on storm strength, track, and local topography, there is no one-size-fits-all response to RSLR descriptive of all locations. Site-specific computer modeling should be used to evaluate the risk facing coastal communities.

The literature on the effectiveness of personal protection products against arthropods is mainly limited to studies of prevention of bites, rather than prevention of disease. Tungiasis was successfully controlled by application of topical repellents and scrub typhus was reduced through the use of treated clothing. Successful reduction of leishmaniasis was achieved through the use of topical repellents, treated bednets and treated clothing in individual studies. Malaria has been reduced by the use of insecticide-treated bednets (ITN), certain campaigns involving topical repellents, and the combination of treated bednets and topical repellents. Although area repellents such as mosquito coils are used extensively, their ability to protect humans from vector-transmitted pathogens has not been proven. Taken together, the literature indicates that personal protection measures must be used correctly to be effective. A study that showed successful control of malaria by combining treated bednets and topical repellents suggests that combinations of personal protection measures are likely to be more effective than single methods. Implementation of successful programmes based on personal protection will require a level of cooperation commonly associated with other basic societal functions, such as education and food safety.

JO - Journal of Advanced Nursing JF - Journal of Advanced Nursing Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 69 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 726 EP - 737 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 03092402 AB - Aim This article presents a discussion of development of a mid-range theory of risk perception. Background Unhealthy behaviours contribute to the development of health inequalities worldwide. The link between perceived risk and successful health behaviour change is inconclusive, particularly in vulnerable populations. This may be attributed to inattention to culture. Data sources The synthesis strategy of theory building guided the process using three methods: (1) a systematic review of literature published between 2000-2011 targeting perceived risk in vulnerable populations; (2) qualitative and (3) quantitative data from a study of Samoan Pacific Islanders at high risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Discussion Main concepts of this theory include risk attention, appraisal processes, cognition, and affect. Overarching these concepts is health-world view: cultural ways of knowing, beliefs, values, images, and ideas. This theory proposes the following: (1) risk attention varies based on knowledge of the health risk in the context of health-world views; (2) risk appraisals are influenced by affect, health-world views, cultural customs, and protocols that intersect with the health risk; (3) strength of cultural beliefs, values, and images (cultural identity) mediate risk attention and risk appraisal influencing the likelihood that persons will engage in health-promoting behaviours that may contradict cultural customs/protocols. Implications Interventions guided by a culturally sensitive mid-range theory may improve behaviour-related health inequalities in vulnerable populations. Conclusions The synthesis strategy is an intensive process for developing a culturally sensitive mid-range theory. Testing of the theory will ascertain its usefulness for reducing health inequalities in vulnerable groups.

SN - 00222461 AB - Grain growth and microstructural evolution of thermally stabilized FeNiZr were investigated by in situ and ex situ studies. Our investigations suggest that the microstructural evolution is fairly slow and the microstructure shows stabilization up to about 700 °C. Above this temperature, a certain fraction of grains grow abnormally into the nanocrystalline matrix, resulting in a bimodal microstructure and causing the complete loss of thermal stability. The reason for abnormal grain growth and the loss of thermal stability is identified as the appearance of the fcc γ-phase and consequent reduction in the total area of grain boundaries and the overall stored energy.

The research questions follow: RQ!) What are the optimal capabilities of a FVL MEDEVAC platform given an Afghanistan-like scenario and parameters associated with the treatment/ground evacuation capabilities in that theater?; RQ2) What are the MEDEVAC trade-off considerations associated with different aircraft engines operating under variable conditions?; RQ3) How does the additional weight of weaponizing the current MEDEVAC fleet affect range, coverage radius, and response time? We address RQ1 using discrete-event simulation based partially on qualitative assessments from the field, while RQ2 and RQ3 are based on deterministic analysis. Our results confirm previous findings that travel speeds in excess of 250 knots and ranges in excess of 300 nautical miles are advisable for the FVL platform design, thereby reducing the medical footprint in stability operations. We recommend a specific course of action regarding a potential engine bridging strategy based on deterministic analysis of endurance and altitude, and we suggest that the weaponization of the FVL MEDEVAC aircraft will have an adverse effect on coverage capability.

T1 - Development of a Measure to Inform Return-to-Duty Decision Making After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 178 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 246 EP - 253 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a principal injury of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, can result in significant morbidity. To make accurate return-to-duty decisions for soldiers with mTBI, military medical personnel require sensitive, objective, and duty-relevant data to characterize subtle cognitive and sensorimotor injury sequelae. A military-civilian research team reviewed existing literature and obtained input from stakeholders, end users, and experts to specify the concept and develop a preliminary assessment protocol to address this need. Results of the literature review suggested the potential utility of a test based on dual-task and multitask assessment methods. Thirty-three individuals representing a variety of military and civilian stakeholders/experts participated in interviews. Interview data suggested that reliability/validity, clinical feasibility, usability across treatment facilities, military face validity, and capacity to challenge mission-critical mTBI vulnerabilities were important to ultimate adoption. The research team developed the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance, a tool composed of eight dual and multitasking test- tasks. A concept test session with 10 subjects indicated preliminary face validity and informed modifications to scoring and design. Further validation is needed. The Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance may fill a gap identified by stakeholders for complex cognitive/motor testing to assist return-to-duty decisions for service members with mTBI.

Vapor-solid growth was done at 550 °C with solid Zn precursor under Ar/O2 flow, and the resulting nanowires with in situ-controllable diameters ranged between 50 to 500 nm. The nanowires were observed to elongate in tip growth and diameters were directly controlled by varying the oxygen concentration. Direct growth of vertical wires on metal substrates is expected to be useful to construct piezoelectric devices and applications involving sensors and detectors.

Flexible-wall tests were conducted on consolidated backfill specimens () containing clean sand and 4.5-5.7% bentonite (by dry weight) using tap water and calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions (10-1,000 mM) as the permeant liquids. Final values of hydraulic conductivity () and intrinsic permeability () to the CaCl2 solutions were determined after achieving both short-term termination criteria as defined by ASTM D5084 and long-term termination criteria for chemical equilibrium between the influent and effluent. Specimens containing MSB exhibited the smallest increases in and upon permeation with a given CaCl2 solution relative to specimens containing untreated Na bentonite or SW101. However, none of the specimens exhibited more than a fivefold increase in or , regardless of CaCl2 concentration or bentonite type. Final values for specimens permeated with a given CaCl2 solution after permeation with tap water were similar to those for specimens of the same backfill permeated with only the CaCl2 solution, indicating that the order of permeation had no significant effect on . Also, final values for all specimens were within a factor of two of the measured after achieving the ASTM D5084 termination criteria. Thus, use of only the ASTM D5084 criteria would have been sufficient to obtain reasonable estimates of long-term hydraulic conductivity for the specimens in this study.

T1 - Multiple Cationic Amphiphiles Induce a Niemann-Pick C Phenotype and Inhibit Ebola Virus Entry and Infection. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 8 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped RNA virus that causes hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. Infection requires internalization from the cell surface and trafficking to a late endocytic compartment, where viral fusion occurs, providing a conduit for the viral genome to enter the cytoplasm and initiate replication. In a concurrent study, we identified clomiphene as a potent inhibitor of EBOV entry. Here, we screened eleven inhibitors that target the same biosynthetic pathway as clomiphene. From this screen we identified six compounds, including U18666A, that block EBOV infection (IC50 1.6 to 8.0 µM) at a late stage of entry. Intriguingly, all six are cationic amphiphiles that share additional chemical features. U18666A induces phenotypes, including cholesterol accumulation in endosomes, associated with defects in Niemann–Pick C1 protein (NPC1), a late endosomal and lysosomal protein required for EBOV entry. We tested and found that all six EBOV entry inhibitors from our screen induced cholesterol accumulation. We further showed that higher concentrations of cationic amphiphiles are required to inhibit EBOV entry into cells that overexpress NPC1 than parental cells, supporting the contention that they inhibit EBOV entry in an NPC1-dependent manner. A previously reported inhibitor, compound 3.47, inhibits EBOV entry by blocking binding of the EBOV glycoprotein to NPC1. None of the cationic amphiphiles tested had this effect. Hence, multiple cationic amphiphiles (including several FDA approved agents) inhibit EBOV entry in an NPC1-dependent fashion, but by a mechanism distinct from that of compound 3.47. Our findings suggest that there are minimally two ways of perturbing NPC1-dependent pathways that can block EBOV entry, increasing the attractiveness of NPC1 as an anti-filoviral therapeutic target.

SN - 13675435 AB - Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of in vivo biodiesel synthesis in Escherichia coli, however, ethyl ester formation was dependent on an external fatty acid feedstock. In contrast to E. coli, actinomycetes may be ideal organisms for direct biodiesel synthesis because of their capacity to synthesize high levels of triacylglcerides (TAGs). In this study, we investigated the physiology and associated TAG accumulation along with the in vivo ability to catalyze ester formation from exogenous short chain alcohol sources in Gordonia sp. KTR9, a strain that possesses a large number of genes dedicated to fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis. Total lipid fatty acids content increased by 75 % and TAG content increased by 50 % under nitrogen starvation conditions in strain KTR9. Strain KTR9 tolerated the exogenous addition of up to 4 % methanol, 4 % ethanol and 2 % propanol in the media. Increasing alcohol concentrations resulted in a decrease in the degree of saturation of recovered fatty acid alcohol esters and a slight increase in the fatty acid chain length. A linear dose dependency in fatty alcohol ester synthesis was observed in the presence of 0.5-2 % methanol and ethanol compared to control KTR9 strains grown in the absence of alcohols. An inspection of the KTR9 genome revealed the presence of several putative wax ester synthase/acyl-coenzyme A : diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WS/DGAT) enzymes, encoded by atf gene homologs, that may catalyze the in vivo synthesis of fatty acid esters from short chain alcohols. Collectively, these results indicate that Gordonia sp. KTR9 may be a suitable actinomycete host strain for in vivo biodiesel synthesis.

SN - 08949867 AB - We examined morale as a moderator of the relationship between combat exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a longitudinal study of U.S. soldiers who had participated in a deployment to Iraq. Soldiers ( N = 636) completed assessments at 4 (Time 1) and 10 (Time 2) months following their combat deployment. Combat exposure (both breadth and perceived stressfulness), morale, and PTSD symptoms were assessed at Time 1, and PTSD symptoms were assessed again at Time 2. Results of multivariate multiple regressions revealed that morale at Time 1 interacted with both the breadth and stressfulness of combat exposure to predict PTSD symptoms at both Time 1 and Time 2, even when partialling out the effect of unit support. The slope of the given combat exposure and PTSD symptoms relationship was weaker when reports of morale were higher (with the effect size of the interaction ranging from .01 to .04). The results suggest that morale may buffer soldiers from the negative consequences of combat stressors.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 48 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1292 EP - 1302 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - In this work, nanoindentation and nanoscratching experiments are combined with atomic force microscopy to investigate the relationships between contact geometry, apparent friction, and deformation modes of two grades of Kevlar (Dupont) fiber-Kevlar KM2 and Kevlar 49. Changes in the relative angle between the scratching probe and the fiber surface, often termed as the attack angle, result in changes in deformation mode, which correlate with the changes in the apparent friction. As attack angle increases, the observed deformation modes of the fiber surface change from a smoothing of the surface, often termed as ironing, to fibrillation, in which the fibrils break and coalesce in front of the progressing probe. A mixture of these two modes occurs at intermediate attack angles. When fibrillation occurs, material pile-up forms in front of the progressing probe. This pile-up introduces an additional component to the frictional response that is largely responsible for an increase in apparent friction with an increasing attack angle and/or scratch length. The level of friction associated with fibrillation is measured to be up to approximately three times higher than previously reported for Kevlar yarn-yarn friction. Fibrillation of Kevlar KM2 occurs at larger attack angles as compared to Kevlar 49, which is believed to be related to a near-surface region of reduced modulus and hardness previously observed in KM2 fibers. A detailed discussion of the measured response is given based on the interactions between the scratching probe and the fibrillar network and the resulting deformation mechanisms.

The distribution plan for the Combat Stress Control teams was based on previously published guidance on ratios of combat stress personnel to troop end-strength, population at-risk data, and kinetic activity associated with current and future combat operations. The article concludes with outcome data that validates the distribution decisions made through the planning process. Through dissemination of this information, it is hoped that future planners and clinicians can improve the processes involved in providing combat stress and mental health services to forward-deployed troops.

We investigated post-emergence movements and habitat associations of western pond turtles (Actinemys marmorata) at two study sites in western Oregon using micro- transmitters and harmonic radar methods. Hatchlings delayed emergence until spring, with few exceptions. Hatchlings typically remained within 2 m of nests for as long as 59 d after initial emergence. During migration from their nests to aquatic habitat, hatchlings embedded themselves in soil for up to 22 d at stop-over sites. Movements between successive stop-over sites averaged 27 m. Although the number of days turtles remained within 2 m of their nest following emergence varied widely among and within nests, hatchlings entered aquatic habitat relatively synchronously. Hatchlings entered aquatic habitat on average 49 d after initial emergence, and traveled an average of 89 m from their nest site. Hatchlings detected in water were always within 1 m of shore and in areas with dense submerged vegetation and woody debris. Because of delayed emergence and extended post-emergent use of the area adjacent to nests, managers must consider the trade-offs of managing vegetation for nest habitat and the potential harm to hatchlings by vegetation management near nests.

This review summarizes past and present concepts in large river ecology and highlights uncertainties facing the science and management of large rivers, and provides examples of tools (river restoration and adaptive management) that may be used to continue the advancement of large river ecology into the future. We need to ask, “Where do we go from here?” and, “How do we get there?” The science, management, and policy of large rivers are inseparable and decisions formulated by river stakeholders today will inevitably shape how rivers are studied and managed into the future.

Based on a reappraisal of learning processes rather than on the outcome of the war, this essay argues that as an organization, the U.S. Army did learn and adapt in Vietnam; however, that learning was not sufficient, in itself, to preserve a South Vietnam in the throes of a powerful nationalist upheaval. A reexamination of the Army's strategic approach, operational experiences, and organizational changes reveals that significant learning did occur during the Vietnam War despite the conflict's final result.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 29 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 30 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - The potential risk and effects of storm-surge damage caused by the combination of hurricane-force waves, tides, and relative sea-level-rise (RSLR) scenarios were examined at the U.S. Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia. A hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling system validated with measured water levels from Hurricane Isabel was used to simulate two synthesized storms representing 50-year and 100-year return-period hurricanes, a northeaster, and five future RSLR scenarios to evaluate the combined impacts of inundation on this military installation in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The naval base topography and nearshore water body of Hampton Roads were included in the coastal modeling system (CMS), a suite of surge, circulation, wave, sediment transport, and morphology evolution models. The modeling domain was a rectangular area covering the entire Naval Station Norfolk in the Hampton Roads and the mouths of the James and Elizabeth rivers. A variable-resolution grid system was created with a finer resolution of 10 m in the naval base and a coarser resolution of 300 m in the regions away from the base. The boundary-forcing conditions to the CMS were regional storm surge produced by the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC),and wave conditions by the Simulating WAve Nearshore (SWAN) model. The CMS calculated the local water-surface elevation and storm-surge inundation for combined RSLR, surge, waves, and wind. Results indicate that synthetic storms would cause extensive inundation of coastal land around the naval base. Approximately 60% of the land would be under water with the 100-year storm for the present sea level, and 80% for estimated RSLR of 2 m.

The use of intravenous fluids for volume replacement during hemorrhagic shock is controversial, but it is currently the standard of care. In the far-forward environment, large volume resuscitation for massive bleeding is a great challenge. Crystalloid and colloid solutions add weight and bulk to the medic's kit, require temperature sensitive storage, and should be warmed before infusion to prevent hypothermia. Excessive use of these solutions causes a dilutional coagulopathy, acidosis, and potentially increased inflammatory injury compared with blood products. Type-specific whole blood from an uninjured combat companion on the other hand is almost always available. It is warm, replaces intravascular volume, and provides oxygen delivery and hemostatic capacity to prevent or treat shock and coagulopathy. Whole blood may be ideal for the resuscitation of combat casualties with hemorrhagic shock. BFF program pilot studies on use of platelet-sparing leukoreduction filters, whole blood transport tolerance, donor performance, and autologous reinfusion of 24-hour ambient temperature stored whole blood have been performed and suggest the feasibility of expanding whole blood use in resuscitation. If successful, the BFF program will change tactics, techniques, and procedures with a new lifesaving capability.

T1 - Fresh whole blood use by forward surgical teams in Afghanistan is associated with improved survival compared to component therapy without platelets. JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2013/01/02/Jan2013 Supplement VL - 53 M3 - Article SP - 107S EP - 113S PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00411132 AB - Background In Afghanistan, a substantial portion of resuscitative combat surgery is performed by US Army forward surgical teams ( FSTs). Red blood cells ( RBCs) and fresh frozen plasma ( FFP) are available at these facilities, but platelets are not. FST personnel frequently encounter high-acuity patient scenarios without the ability to transfuse platelets. An analysis of the use of fresh whole blood ( FWB) at FSTs therefore allows for an evaluation of outcomes associated with this practice. Study Design and Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in prospectively collected data from all transfused patients at six FSTs from December 2005 to December 2010. Univariate analysis was performed, followed by two separate propensity score analyses. In-hospital mortality was predicted with the use of a conditional logistic regression model that incorporated these propensity scores. Subset analysis included evaluation of patients who received uncrossmatched Type O FWB compared with those who received type-specific FWB. Results A total of 488 patients received a blood transfusion. There were no significant differences in age, sex, or Glasgow Coma Scale in those who received or did not receive FWB. Injury Severity Scores were higher in patients transfused FWB. In our adjusted analyses, patients who received RBCs and FFP with FWB had improved survival compared with those who received RBCs and FFP without FWB. Of 94 FWB recipients, 46 FWB recipients (49%) were given uncrossmatched Type O FWB, while 48 recipients (51%) received type-specific FWB. There was no significant difference in mortality between patients that received uncrossmatched Type O and type-specific FWB. Conclusions The use of FWB in austere combat environments appears to be safe and is independently associated with improved survival to discharge when compared with resuscitation with RBCs and FFP alone. Mortality was similar for patients transfused uncrossmatched Type O compared with ABO type-specific FWB in an austere setting.

The assemblies represent portions of the exterior moment-resisting frames of two 10-story steel-frame buildings. One test specimen had welded unreinforced flange, bolted web connections, and the other had reduced beam-section connections. When subjected to monotonically increasing vertical displacement of the unsupported center column, both specimens exhibited an initial elastic response dominated by flexure. With increased vertical displacement, the connections yielded, and axial tension developed in the beams. The axial tension in the beams increased until the connections failed under combined bending and axial stresses. The test results show that the rotational capacities of both connections under monotonic column displacement are about twice as large as those based on seismic-test data.

JO - Virology Journal JF - Virology Journal Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 10 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - BioMed Central SN - 1743422X AB - Background: Influenza B viruses can cause morbidity and mortality in humans but due to the lack of an animal reservoir are not associated with pandemics. Because of this, there is relatively limited genetic sequences available for influenza B viruses, especially from developing countries. Complete genome analysis of one influenza B virus and several gene segments of other influenza B viruses isolated from Uganda from May 2009 through December 2010 was therefore undertaken in this study. Methods: Samples were collected from patients showing influenza like illness and screened for influenza A and B by PCR. Influenza B viruses were isolated on Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells and selected isolates were subsequently sequenced and analyzed phylogenetically. Findings: Of the 2,089 samples collected during the period, 292 were positive by PCR for influenza A or B; 12.3% of the PCR positives were influenza B. Thirty influenza B viruses were recovered and of these 25 that grew well consistently on subculture were subjected to further analysis. All the isolates belonged to the B/Victoria-lineage as identified by hemagglutination inhibition assay and genetic analysis except one isolate that grouped with the B-Yamagata-lineage. The Ugandan B/Victoria-lineage isolates grouped in clade 1 which was defined by the N75K, N165K and S172P substitutions in hemagglutinin (HA) protein clustered together with the B/Brisbane/60/2008 vaccine strain. The Yamagata-like Ugandan strain, B/Uganda/MUWRP-053/2009, clustered with clade 3 Yamagata viruses such as B/Bangladesh/3333/2007 which is characterized by S150I and N166Y substitutions in HA. Conclusion: In general there was limited variation among the Ugandan isolates but they were interestingly closer to viruses from West and North Africa than from neighboring Kenya. Our isolates closely matched the World Health Organization recommended vaccines for the seasons.

SN - 0021891X AB - Recent interest in bio-inspired materials has led to the development of techniques that can be used to synthesize hierarchical structures with controlled morphology and mineralogy. One such technique investigated in this study consists of the use of electromigration and electrodeposition techniques to deposit mineral phases with controlled morphology and mineralogy by infilling a predefined porous templates. Here, the utility of precipitating various polymorphs of calcium carbonate in three-dimensional templates is demonstrated. Applied potentials and times were varied while scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to determine polymorph formed and its morphology. It was found that higher applied potentials and shorter operating times resulted in the formation of metastable polymorphs of calcium carbonate (e.g., vaterite) that infilled the porous media. Results provide insights for developing bio-inspired composite materials for various structural and medical applications, such as synthetic bone.

According to the author, many neutral states secretly released U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) personnel who sought asylum after their aircraft were damaged, despite being obligated by treaty to intern them for the duration of the conflict. It is suggested that Switzerland's permanent status of neutrality resulted in its consisted internment of U.S. airmen, while other states were influenced to release internees by political pressure and by the costs associated with interning belligerents. Details on USAAF personnel interned in Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the Soviet Union are presented.

S. military working dogs that incurred gunshot wound ( GSW) injury in Operation Enduring Freedom ( Afghanistan) or Operation Iraqi Freedom ( Iraq). Design Retrospective study between January 2003 and December 2009. Animals Twenty-nine military working dogs from the U. S. military with confirmed GSW injuries incurred in combat in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. Interventions None. Measurements and Main Results Clinical data from battlefield treatment, which includes care from the point of injury through arrival to, but not including, a designated veterinary treatment facility. Twenty-nine dogs were injured between 2003 and 2009. All but one of the injuries were from high caliber, high velocity weapons. Of the 29 injured dogs, 11 survived the injuries and 18 died (38% survival rate). Of the dogs that died, all but 1 died from catastrophic nonsurvivable injuries before treatment or evacuation could be instituted. The thorax was the most common site of injury (50%) followed by extremity wounds (46%). The leading cause of death from GSWs was from thoracic wounds, followed by head wounds. Dogs with extremity wounds as their only injury were most likely to survive, and dogs with multiple injuries were least likely to survive. All surviving dogs received treatment at the point of injury by military medics and dog handlers consistent with Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines for combat injuries in human service members. Of the 11 that survived, all dogs returned to full duty with subsequent deployment to combat zones. Location of wounds and injury severity at the time of presentation to veterinary care was not correlated with length of time until return to duty.

Production of these munitions would add them to the waste stream. The use of an anaerobic fluidized-bed bioreactor (AFBB) was studied for treating these compounds in a simulated wastewater with ethanol as the electron donor. The reactor degraded both of the compounds to below detection limits over a wide range of ethanol concentrations. The degradation was found to be a transformation into secondary products for both energetics: diaminoanisole (for DNAN) and -methyl--phenylenediamine (for MNA). Both of these by-products reacted upon exposure to air, forming azobond dimers. Potassium perchlorate was added to the feed stream to test if additional energetics would disrupt the transformation. The AFBB continued transformation and was able to remove the perchlorate after a two week acclimation period. The AFBB was an effective treatment method for DNAN and MNA, but further study is required to investigate the transformation products more thoroughly.

The objectives were to corroborate earlier findings and to propose modifications if deemed necessary. The CH-53G was chosen because it is the largest helicopter operated by the German Army, and its dedicated role is cargo and troop transport. The quantitative criteria and the associated boundaries as specified in the standard were largely confirmed. Several flight test maneuvers were revised and tailored. Generally, the heights for performing the near-earth maneuvers were increased. The time/tolerances experienced were borderline desired/adequate or adequate.

We use the reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC) method to investigate the effects of temperature, nanopore size, bulk pressure, and capillary condensation on the nitric oxide dimerization reaction in a model carbon slit nanopore in equilibrium with a bulk reservoir. In addition to the RxMC simulations, we also utilize the molecular-dynamics method to determine self-diffusion coefficients for confined nonreactive mixtures of nitric oxide monomers and dimers at compositions obtained from the RxMC simulations. We analyze the effects of the temperature, nanopore width, bulk pressure, and capillary condensation on the reaction equilibrium with respect to the reaction conversion, fluid structure, and self-diffusion coefficients. We show that the influence of the temperature, nanopore size, and capillary condensation on the confined reaction equilibrium is quite dramatic while the effect of the bulk pressure on the reaction equilibrium in the carbon slit nanopore is only moderate. This work is an extension of previous work by Turner et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 114, 1851 (2001)] on the confined reactive nitric oxide system.

This scheme gives a 96% device yield with output currents averaging 5.4 mA and reaching up to 17 mA at a 300 mV bias. Entirely semiconducting FETs are easily realized by a high current selective destruction of metallic tubes. The excellent dispersity and nearly-defect-free quality of the SWNT channels make these devices also useful for nanoscale chemical and biological sensor applications.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2006/01/15/ VL - 99 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 023512 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - The shock behavior of two varieties of the ceramic silicon carbide was investigated through a series of time-resolved plate impact experiments reaching stresses of over 140 GPa. The Hugoniot data obtained are consistent for the two varieties tested as well as with most data from the literature. Through the use of reshock and release configurations, reloading and unloading responses for the material were found. Analysis of these responses provides a measure of the ceramic’s strength behavior as quantified by the shear stress and the strength in the Hugoniot state. While previous strength measurements were limited to stresses of 20–25 GPa, measurements were made to 105 GPa in the current study. The initial unloading response is found to be elastic to stresses as high as 105 GPa, the level at which a solid-to-solid phase transformation is observed. While the unloading response lies significantly below the Hugoniot, the reloading response essentially follows it. This differs significantly from previous results for B4C and Al2O3. The strength of the material increases by about 50% at stresses of 50–75 GPa before falling off somewhat as the phase transformation is approached. Thus, the strength behavior of SiC in planar impact experiments could be characterized as metal-like in character. The previously reported phase transformation at ∼105 GPa was readily detected by the reshock technique, but it initially eluded detection with traditional shock experiments. This illustrates the utility of the reshock technique for identifying phase transformations. The transformation in SiC was found to occur at about 104 GPa with an associated volume change of about 9%.

Room-temperature tunability was measured and found to improve with deposition temperature, but losses also increased. The dielectric constant, tunability, and loss tangent are found to be 350, 52%, and 0.07 at 300 kV/cm for the 700 °C deposition. The film grown at 700 °C has a larger grain size, leading to approximately 5% higher tunability compared to the film deposited at 400 °C. Supporting theoretical calculations were carried out using a modified Landau-Devonshire thermodynamic formalism that takes into account the internal stresses that arise from the differences of coefficients of thermal expansion between the film and the substrate.

While the electroluminescence intensity increases down to a temperature lower than that reported in InGaN light emitting diodes (LEDs), there is still a collapse at cryogenic temperatures. Capacitance-voltage measurements across the same range of temperatures reveal an increasing depletion region with decreasing temperature indicating that hole injection is a significant factor in the temperature dependent behavior, as well as the cause of electroluminescence collapse.

It is argued that, contrary to how most contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants construe it, the just war tradition has defended the possibility of the moral equality of combatants as an entailment of the justifiability of public war. It is shown that contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants are denying the possibility of public war and, in most cases, offering a conception of just war as exclusively private war. The work of Jeff McMahan is used to exemplify this. Against these contemporary critics, it is argued that the reasons McMahan and others offer against the possibility of the moral equality of combatants undermine not only public war but also the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority. The conclusion is drawn that defenders of the moral equality of combatants must defend the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war while critics of the moral equality of combatants must either (1) reject the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority altogether, or, less radically, (2) deny the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war.

This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors.

Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

Furthermore, the quantitative risk analysis technique is commonly used during the project's initial stage, simply by weighting the financial performance with the incurred risks. Herein, we introduce a decision support algorithm for environmental project evaluation and we focus on its application to solid waste management projects. The proposed algorithm includes some basic steps that should be followed by decision-makers, in order to evaluate a project's options. Specifically, different probability distributions are assigned to all variables that influence the options’ IRRs and Monte Carlo simulation is enforced to compute their expected IRR values. The algorithm presented here can be a useful tool to risk-neutral decision-makers, as it helps them to evaluate an environmental project's options and to select the one with the greatest expected profits.

JO - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development JF - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 49 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1377 EP - 1398 PB - VA Prosthetics Research & Development Center SN - 07487711 AB - The prevalence of oculomotor dysfunctions associated with blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in warfighters has increased as a consequence of recent conflicts. This study evaluated the effectiveness of computerized oculomotor vision screening (COVS) in a military population. Oculomotor functions were assessed with COVS and by conventional methods in 20 U.S. military personnel with and 20 without mTBI. The validity of COVS was determined by Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman method or the kappa coefficient. The repeatability of the COVS was assessed with the coefficient of repeatability or the kappa coefficient. The results showed that COVS had high sensitivity and specificity for screening near oculomotor functions. Overall, the COVS showed excellent validity and repeatability for assessing near lateral and vertical phorias, Worth 4 Dot, and fixation, as well as pursuit and saccadic eye movements. Despite the strong Pearson correlation, the Bland-Altman analysis identified minor to moderate discrepancies for both positive and negative fusional vergence and their associated recovery as well as for the monocular accommodative facility measurements. This study demonstrated that non-eye-care professionals may be able to use the COVS as a tool to efficiently screen oculomotor functions in a military population with or without mTBI.

A registered nurse, registered nurse case manager, and primary care provider formed the patient management team. Approximately 2,500 empanelled patients participated in a pilot program that applied a patient-centered approach to primary care. The pilot tracked outcome measures, which included (1) panel size, (2) access to care, (3) care utilization, (4) continuity of care, (5) nurse and provider productivity, (6) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures, and (7) satisfaction measures. When compared to the standard family practice clinic, the patients in the pilot were able to access the family practice clinic more frequently (p < 0.05), were less seen in the urgent care (p < 0.05), and had a lower no-show rate (p < 0.001) for scheduled appointments. The providers were able to see their own empanelled patients significantly more frequently (p < 0.05) and virtually all Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set markers improved with colon cancer screening, low-density lipoprotein annual exams, low-density lipoprotein control, and breast cancer screening/mammogram being significantly improved over the comparison group (p < 0.05). These results suggest a change in staffing and a focus on patient-centered care can significantly improve outpatient care access and population health maintenance.

Online data were collected from 214 undergraduate students. As hypothesized, mentoring was positively related to capitalization, and both mentoring and capitalization were positively related to satisfaction with one's major, affective commitment to one's major, involvement in one's major, and willingness to be a mentor. Contrary to expectations, capitalization did not mediate the relationship between peer reentering and student outcomes, suggesting that these constructs contribute independently to positive outcomes. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

In this paper, we propose a generalized solution to the problem of estimating the state of a stochastic chemical reaction network from limited sensor information generated by microscopy. We mathematically derive an observer structure for cells growing under time-lapse microscopy and incorporates the effects of cell division in order to estimate the dynamically-changing state of each cell in the colony. Furthermore, the observer can be used to discrimate between models by treating model indices as states whose values do not change with time. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions that specify when stochastic chemical reaction network models, interpreted as continuous-time Markov chains, can be distinguished from each other under both continual and periodic observation. We validate the performance of the observer on the Thattai-van Oudenaarden model of transcription and translation. The observer structure is most effective when the system model is well-parameterized, suggesting potential applications in synthetic biology where standardized biological parts are available. However, further research is necessary to develop computationally tractable approximations to the exact generalized solution presented here.

However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed.

Traditional theories of German national development have identified three foci for post-World War II development, the Geopolitics of Nostalgia that seeks to return German national identity to an era prior to World War II, Zero Point thinking that seeks to build a new Germany from the ashes of World War II and critical preservation has sought to preserve some Nazi landscapes in an effort to facilitate discussion on the controversial era. Being an East German city, however, Dresden was isolated from the development of West German identity This paper examines the ways in which East German (GDR) memory has been dealt with in the landscape. Buildings and themes of the GDR have been disavowed, modified, or removed from the center of the city. The new Dresden is a city that has minimal clues to either its Nazi or East German past. It is being presented as a city with one eye on its proud, pre-Nazi and Soviet, history and one eye on its future potential. This demonstrates the diffusion of West German models of nationalism into the East after unification.

Given the process specification limits and associated rework or rejection costs, the traditional method for identifying the optimal process mean involves assuming values for each of the process distribution parameters prior to implementing an optimization scheme. In contrast, this article proposes integrating response surface methods into the framework of the problem, thus removing the need to make assumptions on the parameters. Furthermore, whereas researchers have studied models to investigate this research problem for a single quality characteristic and multiple nominal-the-best type characteristics, this article specifically examines the mixed multiple quality characteristic problem. A non-linear programming routine with economic considerations is established to facilitate the identification of the optimal process mean vector. An analysis of the sensitivity corresponding to the cost structure, tolerance, and quality loss settings is also provided to illustrate their effect on the solutions.

The methodology uses linear elastic fracture mechanics for fatigue crack propagation and accounts for the frequency shifting that occurs due to fatigue crack evolution.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 7 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: The quantification of species-richness and species-turnover is essential to effective monitoring of ecosystems. Wetland ecosystems are particularly in need of such monitoring due to their sensitivity to rainfall, water management and other external factors that affect hydrology, soil, and species patterns. A key challenge for environmental scientists is determining the linkage between natural and human stressors, and the effect of that linkage at the species level in space and time. We propose pixel intensity based Shannon entropy for estimating species-richness, and introduce a method based on statistical wavelet multiresolution texture analysis to quantitatively assess interseasonal and interannual species turnover. Methodology/Principal Findings: We model satellite images of regions of interest as textures. We define a texture in an image as a spatial domain where the variations in pixel intensity across the image are both stochastic and multiscale. To compare two textures quantitatively, we first obtain a multiresolution wavelet decomposition of each. Either an appropriate probability density function (pdf) model for the coefficients at each subband is selected, and its parameters estimated, or, a non-parametric approach using histograms is adopted. We choose the former, where the wavelet coefficients of the multiresolution decomposition at each subband are modeled as samples from the generalized Gaussian pdf. We then obtain the joint pdf for the coefficients for all subbands, assuming independence across subbands; an approximation that simplifies the computational burden significantly without sacrificing the ability to statistically distinguish textures. We measure the difference between two textures' representative pdf's via the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL). Species turnover, or β diversity, is estimated using both this KL divergence and the difference in Shannon entropy. Additionally, we predict species richness, or α diversity, based on the Shannon entropy of pixel intensity.To test our approach, we specifically use the green band of Landsat images for a water conservation area in the Florida Everglades. We validate our predictions against data of species occurrences for a twenty-eight years long period for both wet and dry seasons. Our method correctly predicts 73% of species richness. For species turnover, the newly proposed KL divergence prediction performance is near 100% accurate. This represents a significant improvement over the more conventional Shannon entropy difference, which provides 85% accuracy. Furthermore, we find that changes in soil and water patterns, as measured by fluctuations of the Shannon entropy for the red and blue bands respectively, are positively correlated with changes in vegetation. The fluctuations are smaller in the wet season when compared to the dry season. Conclusions/Significance: Texture-based statistical multiresolution image analysis is a promising method for quantifying interseasonal differences and, consequently, the degree to which vegetation, soil, and water patterns vary. The proposed automated method for quantifying species richness and turnover can also provide analysis at higher spatial and temporal resolution than is currently obtainable from expensive monitoring campaigns, thus enabling more prompt, more cost effective inference and decision making support regarding anomalous variations in biodiversity. Additionally, a matrix-based visualization of the statistical multiresolution analysis is presented to facilitate both insight and quick recognition of anomalous data.

JO - PLoS Pathogens JF - PLoS Pathogens Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 8 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537366 AB - Malaria transmission requires the production of male and female gametocytes in the human host followed by fertilization and sporogonic development in the mosquito midgut. Although essential for the spread of malaria through the population, little is known about the initiation of gametocytogenesis in vitro or in vivo. Using a gametocyte-defective parasite line and genetic complementation, we show that Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte development 1 gene (Pfgdv1), encoding a peri-nuclear protein, is critical for early sexual differentiation. Transcriptional analysis of Pfgdv1 negative and positive parasite lines identified a set of gametocytogenesis early genes (Pfge) that were significantly down-regulated (>10 fold) in the absence of Pfgdv1 and expression was restored after Pfgdv1 complementation. Progressive accumulation of Pfge transcripts during successive rounds of asexual replication in synchronized cultures suggests that gametocytes are induced continuously during asexual growth. Comparison of Pfge gene transcriptional profiles in patient samples divided the genes into two groups differing in their expression in mature circulating gametocytes and providing candidates to evaluate gametocyte induction and maturation separately in vivo. The expression profile of one of the early gametocyte specific genes, Pfge1, correlated significantly with asexual parasitemia, which is consistent with the ongoing induction of gametocytogenesis during asexual growth observed in vitro and reinforces the need for sustained transmission-blocking strategies to eliminate malaria.

Many Republicans shared Thomas Jefferson's faith that an untrained militia could easily conquer Canada, but they did not improve militia training or administration. Indeed, Jefferson gutted the army's fledgling supply organization in 1802, an act far more significant for the War of 1812 than the creation of the Military Academy. Jefferson boxed himself and his successor into a corner by refusing to negotiate with Britain on realistic terms and by relying on commercial sanctions that damaged the economy and devastated revenues. Reactive and backward-looking, the Jeffersonian Republicans refused to match ends and means and failed to create a viable deterrent or alternative to war.

This problem is driven by a lack of knowledge on both the capability developer and program manager teams. Addressing this knowledge gap requires a new approach to capability development, where knowledge gained early in the process is injected into the capability development process in a rigorous way. This article describes that new technical approach along with lessons learned on two large acquisition programs. Key tenets include the use of pre-planned knowledge points as a vehicle for expanded collaboration between program managers and capability developers, and early use of systems engineering fundamentals.

Using micron-scale microspheres, we demonstrate an ability to discern the shape of a pattern with a minimum feature size of ∼λ/7, where λ is the illumination wavelength. For spheres with D > 50 μm, the discernible feature sizes were found to increase to ∼λ/4. Detailed data on the resolution, magnification, and field-of-view are presented. This imaging technique can be used in biomedical microscopy, microfluidics, and nanophotonics applications.

SN - 00222461 AB - The lattice and total Li-ionic conductivity of LiLaTiO ceramic (LLTO) sintered at 1200 °C were determined as functions of powder calcination temperature and sintering duration, and these results were correlated with the relative degrees of Li-ordering, Li-content, grain size, and bulk density to assess the relative impact of these parameters on material performance. Under all conditions, LLTO formed with a high degree of tetragonal superstructure to its perovskite related framework, and the lattice conductivity closely followed the relative amounts of the superstructure, as evaluated via determination of the sample ordering parameter from X-ray diffraction data. LLTO powders that were calcined at 900 °C for 1 h and sintered at 1200 °C for 6 h gave lattice conductivity values (~1.14 × 10S cm) comparable within the highest ranges reported in the literature. This coincided with the lowest degree of tetragonal superstructure formation, and it was also found to be largely independent of the values of Li-content measured on sintered ceramic despite significant LiO volatilization at longer sintering times (up to 23 % after 12 h at 1200 °C). Samples of LLTO powder that were calcined at 1100 °C and sintered at 1200 °C for 12 h resulted in the highest total Li-ion conductivity value ~6.30 × 10S cm. The total conductivity of LLTO varied inversely with grain size when the grains were <20 μm but was insensitive to that parameter above that size threshold. The strongest influence on total conductivity was primarily the bulk ceramic density. It was estimated from measured values that as the bulk ceramic density approached the full theoretical value for LLTO the total conductivity could near the lattice conductivity of ~1.2 × 10S cm.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 138 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1192 EP - 1201 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339364 AB - Construction project managers are often faced with the challenge of managing a complex construction process consisting of multiple trades working on a large number of interdependent tasks. A social network is a pattern of ties that exist between different entities (i.e., people, organizations, countries). There is an underlying social network of trades that exists with a construction project and recognizing it can help a management team succeed in this challenging environment. A $50 million project involving 43 trades was studied over a 28-week period. Pajek, a social network analysis program, was used to generate a series of 14 social networks for the trades involved. Both degree and eigenvector centrality were analyzed to reflect the distribution of relationships through the network and to identify the key trades. This research is useful to project managers and is significant as it outlines and illustrates a method of identifying the underlying network and associated key trades of a construction project based on spatial proximity. While this research is based upon an individual case study, the apsects of this research are repeatable. The methods presented in this paper will enable others to develop a social network that is tailored for a specific aspect of a project, ranging from contract development teams to the individual trades using a critical path method (CPM) schedule.

Methods: Fifty-four Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. Results: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculo- skeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (- 11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (- 10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.00l), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO2 peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = -0.45 to -0.28, p ≤ 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources.

No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. Methods: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant's ability to give care to trauma patients. Results: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). Discussion: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. Conclusion: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) circuit-style training program compared to standard Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT) on fitness, physiological, and body composition changes. Active duty Army personnel were randomly assigned to two groups (MEF = 34 or APRT = 33) for 8 weeks of training (15 sessions each). The MEF program included functional movements focused on strength, power, speed, and agility. Fifteen exercises were performed continuously for 60 to 90 seconds for 45 minutes. Baseline and post-test measures included the Army physical fitness test, physiological indicators, body composition, and additional fitness indicators. One-way analysis of covariance models indicated that MEF participants significantly increased their push-ups (p = 0.033), bench press (p = 0.001), and flexibility (p = 0.003) and significantly decreased their 2-mile run (p = 0.003) and step test heart rate (p = 0.004) compared to participants doing APRT. Both groups maintained body composition (p > 0.05) and reported no injuries. The MEF training program safely improved muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, supporting functional fitness circuit-style exercise training for military personnel.

JO - Journal of Applied Ichthyology JF - Journal of Applied Ichthyology Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 681 EP - 686 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 01758659 AB - The Pascagoula watershed likely offers the greatest possibility for the survival of the Gulf sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi, within Mississippi. Thus, understanding and preserving the connectivity between distant habitats in this region plays a major role in protecting and managing such anadromous fish populations. The focus of this project was to determine the within-river routes Gulf sturgeon take through the lower Pascagoula River downstream of the point where it splits (river kilometer 23) into two distinct distributaries. Sixty days were sampled throughout a two-year period with a total effort of 81 947 net-meter-hours and eight Gulf sturgeon were captured, ranging from 74 to 189 cm FL and weighing from 3.6 to 52.6 kg. Using an array of automated telemetry receivers, acoustically tagged Gulf sturgeon movements were monitored within the lower river and associated estuary. Estimated residence times (days) suggest Gulf sturgeon appear to prefer the eastern distributary upriver from Bayou Chemise as the primary travel corridor between freshwater habitats and marine feeding grounds. The western distributary mouth was more highly used by Gulf sturgeon during both seasonal migrations between upriver and offshore habitats. Thus, the western distributary appears to represent the main entrance point utilized by Gulf sturgeon to the Pascagoula River watershed and should be protected as the eastern distributary mouth has been altered from a natural marsh edge to one of hardened surfaces.

In contrast, recent publications on tick-pathogen systems in the eastern United States, and findings from Department of Defense investigations of ticks found biting military personnel, indicate that residents of the south-eastern United States are primarily at risk from emerging diseases caused by tick-borne pathogens other than B. burgdorferi. The risk of contracting these diseases varies greatly among states as a consequence of regional variation in the abundance of the key vector tick species. Moreover, this risk is changing, because tick distributions are in flux. To improve health outcomes, health providers need better information and awareness regarding which tick species bite humans in each state and which zoonotic pathogens are prevalent in these ticks. Effective diagnosis, treatment, control and reporting of tick-borne disease in the south-eastern United States require that health providers think 'beyond Lyme' and consider the marked regional differences in the tick species that bite humans and in the pathogens that these ticks carry.

Specifically, we preform k-shell decomposition analysis on these networks - which groups the proteins into various "shells" based on network structure. We observe that shells with a higher average degree are more highly targeted (with a power-law relationship) and that highly targeted nodes lie in shells closer to the inner-core of the network. Additionally, we also note that the inner core of the network is significantly under-targeted. We show that these core proteins may have a role in intra-cellular communication and hypothesize that they are less attacked to ensure survival of the host. This may explain why certain high-degree proteins are not significantly attacked.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 7 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - The fair division of a surplus is one of the most widely examined problems. This paper focuses on bargaining problems with fixed disagreement payoffs where risk-neutral agents have reached an agreement that is the Nash-bargaining solution (NBS). We consider a stochastic environment, in which the overall return consists of multiple pies with uncertain sizes and we examine how these pies can be allocated with fairness among agents. Specifically, fairness is based on the Aristotle's maxim: "equals should be treated equally and unequals unequally, in proportion to the relevant inequality". In this context, fairness is achieved when all the individual stochastic surplus shares, which are allocated to agents, are distributed in proportion to the NBS. We introduce a novel algorithm, which can be used to compute the ratio of each pie that should be allocated to each agent, in order to ensure fairness within a symmetric or asymmetric NBS.

Efficient pavement management is supported by pavement management systems (PMSs), which includes models for pavement condition assessments considered 'valuable' by agency's engineers. The objective of this article is to define a pavement condition model able to overcome surveyors' subjectivity in rating distresses and thus provide meaningful pavement conditions for the agencies to employ in project planning. The article proposes a fuzzy inference model for calculating pavement condition ratio (PCR) specifically tailored on the Alabama Department of Transportation Pavement (ALDOT) guidelines and policies. Applied to several surveyors' ratings, the proposed model has the ability to smooth distress extent differences among surveyors producing PCR values within acceptable range of variability. The proposed approach has the intention of not only enhancing pavement condition characterization but also to exploit the opportunity made available by automation in the collection and interpretation of pavement data which are anyway characterized by an inherent subjectivity.

The model is developed by treating each individual yarn as a continuum, and the time-dependent yarn behavior is phenomenologically described using a three-dimensional linear viscoelastic constitutive relation. A user subroutine VUMAT for ABAQUS/Explicit is compiled to incorporate the constitutive behavior. By using the newly developed model, a parametric study is carried out to analyze the effects of various parameters on the impact behavior of the fabrics, which include impact velocity, inter-yarn friction, and the number of fabric layers. The simulation results obtained include bullet residual velocity, fabric deformation and damage pattern, kinetic energy of the system, fabric strain energy, and frictional dissipation energy. The residual velocities predicted by the current model correlate well with existing experimental data, and the parametric study leads to the determination of the optimal number of fabric layers and the optimized level of inter-yarn friction that are needed to achieve the maximum energy absorption in the fabrics at specified impact velocities.

Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.

In migratory songbirds, there is evidence that long-distance movement capabilities do not translate well into observed dispersal. Our objectives were to (i) define the fine-scale spatial genetic structure in endangered black-capped vireos to characterize dispersal patterns and (ii) to correlate dispersal dynamics to overall population genetic structure using a simulation approach. We sampled 160 individuals over 2 years to (i) describe the fine-scale genetic structuring and (ii) used this information to model scenarios to compare with actual data on change in population structuring over a 100-year interval. We found that black-capped vireos exhibit male philopatry and restricted dispersal distances, relative to females. Our simulations also support a sex-biased dispersal model. Additionally, we find that fragmentation related changes in rates of dispersal might be a likely cause for increasing levels of population structure over a 100-year period. We show that restricted sex-biased dispersal can explain population structuring in this species and that changes in dispersal rates due to fragmentation may be a continuing threat to genetic viability in this species.

JO - PLoS Computational Biology JF - PLoS Computational Biology Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 8 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 1553734X AB - The ability to adapt to different conditions is key for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), to successfully infect human hosts. Adaptations allow the organism to evade the host immune responses during acute infections and persist for an extended period of time during the latent infectious stage. In latently infected individuals, estimated to include one-third of the human population, the organism exists in a variety of metabolic states, which impedes the development of a simple strategy for controlling or eradicating this disease. Direct knowledge of the metabolic states of M. tuberculosis in patients would aid in the management of the disease as well as in forming the basis for developing new drugs and designing more efficacious drug cocktails. Here, we propose an in silico approach to create state-specific models based on readily available gene expression data. The coupling of differential gene expression data with a metabolic network model allowed us to characterize the metabolic adaptations of M. tuberculosis H37Rv to hypoxia. Given the microarray data for the alterations in gene expression, our model predicted reduced oxygen uptake, ATP production changes, and a global change from an oxidative to a reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) program. Alterations in the biomass composition indicated an increase in the cell wall metabolites required for cell-wall growth, as well as heightened accumulation of triacylglycerol in preparation for a low-nutrient, low metabolic activity life style. In contrast, the gene expression program in the deletion mutant of dosR, which encodes the immediate hypoxic response regulator, failed to adapt to low-oxygen stress. Our predictions were compatible with recent experimental observations of M. tuberculosis activity under hypoxic and anaerobic conditions. Importantly, alterations in the flow and accumulation of a particular metabolite were not necessarily directly linked to differential gene expression of the enzymes catalyzing the related metabolic reactions.

A secondary aim was to compare differences in the level of burnout between the deployed Army nursing personnel and Army nursing personnel assigned to an Army hospital in the United States that served as the U.S. military's primary referral center for American combat casualties evacuated from Iraq. Design: A nonexperimental cross-sectional design was used for this study. Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Practice Environment Scale were administered to 105 personnel who deployed with a CSH to Iraq. Data from this study were linked to data obtained from 152 nursing personnel who participated in an earlier burnout study at a large Army hospital in the United States. The linked datasets yielded a final sample of 257 Army nursing personnel. Analysis of variance and linear regression analysis were used to analyze these data. Findings: Emotional exhaustion was common across groups. For the deployed nursing personnel, emotional exhaustion was related to a perceived lack of support from management, foundations for quality of care, collegial relationships, and extended work schedules. The U.S.-based Army hospital group scored significantly higher emotional exhaustion, but it was related to the additional responsibilities associated with being an Army nurse, working extended schedules, and working with combat casualties for extended periods of time. The U.S.-based group perceived more personal accomplishment from the work they do. Conclusions: Burnout was common across Army hospital settings. Emotional exhaustion was most problematic in the U.S.-based Army hospital; however, there was less cynicism toward patients and a greater perception of personal accomplishment associated with work. Clinical Relevance: This study supports the importance of a professional practice environment for Army nursing personnel both during deployment and in U.S.-based Army hospitals.

The construction process is complex and consists of a large number of interdependent and sequential tasks. Construction activities are simulated as serial production lines, using state- and resource-based simulation of construction processes simulation models, to investigate the effects that different production control strategies (push/pull and balanced/unbalanced) have on productivity and work-in-process. The sensitivity to task duration variance is also examined for different working strategies. Simulation results are used to compare the models based on their performance. In the presence of duration variance, push strategies result in higher productivity, whereas pull strategies result in lower amounts of work-in-process. Pull strategies are more sensitive to the presence of duration variance. Work-in-process is also a function of the coefficient of variance. Simulation results are used to compare the tradeoffs between strategies. The findings will help construction managers better understand the effects of working strategies and conditions to decide which production control strategy is best suited for their needs.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 177 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1081 EP - 1089 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - We hypothesized that the use of evidence based injury prevention strategies would lead to a reduction in the incidence of femoral neck stress injuries (FNSIs) and other serious overuse injuries in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). An injury prevention strategy began in late 2008 that included: (1) leadership education, (2) leader- ship enforcement of proven methods, and (3) injury surveillance and reporting. Data on FNSI and removal from training for injury were analyzed based on the fiscal year 2006 through 2010 (n = 210,002). For men, FNSI were reduced from 13 to 20 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 8 cases/10,000 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women, FNSI were reduced from 35 to 41 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 18 cases/10,000 recruits per year in 2010 (p < 0.01). For men, removals from training for injury were reduced from 0.8 to 1.1 cases/100 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 0.5 cases/100 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women removal from training for injury was reduced from 2.3 to 2.4 cases/100 recruits (2006-2008) to 1.0 case/100 recruits per years in 2010 (p < 0.01). The time course of the changes suggests that following specific injury prevention methods was effective in reducing injuries.

Objectives: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. Methods: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). Results: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater.

These have typically been linked with both the hydrodynamic and water quality models using similar explicit time steps, but for long-term simulations implicit models are required. The water quality codes linked to these hydrodynamic codes are forced to perform their computations using the hydrodynamic time step even though utilizing the same might result in drifting of the water quality solution. This technical note presents the development and testing of an operator splitting-derived method for linking hydrodynamic and water quality codes with adaptive time stepping. The resulting method provides high-fidelity solutions that compare well with analytic solutions and lends itself for extension to various other transported quantities.

In this study, ultrasonication and Thinky mixing methods were used either in isolation or in combination with 3-roll shear mixing. To achieve better dispersion, VGCNF was tested either by mixing with SC-1 resin directly or premixed with a solvent and then mixed with SC-1 resin after evaporating the solvent. Flexural tests were performed to evaluate mechanical performances, and the results exhibited 25.60% and 8.88% improvement of flexural strength and modulus, respectively over neat epoxy with only 0.2 wt.% loading. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) indicated improvement in storage modulus, Tg, inflection temperature and residue content respectively over neat SC-1 epoxy. The high viscosity found by rheological analysis prevents their ubiquitous use in fibre reinforced composites. Thermal and mechanical properties at higher loading conditions were seen either to reduce or not significantly improve. These results indicate that the methods used for dispersion are suitable for low weight percent loading only.

JO - PLoS Computational Biology JF - PLoS Computational Biology Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 8 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 1553734X AB - This article presents the integration of brain injury biomechanics and graph theoretical analysis of neuronal connections, or connectomics, to form a neurocomputational model that captures spatiotemporal characteristics of trauma. We relate localized mechanical brain damage predicted from biofidelic finite element simulations of the human head subjected to impact with degradation in the structural connectome for a single individual. The finite element model incorporates various length scales into the full head simulations by including anisotropic constitutive laws informed by diffusion tensor imaging. Coupling between the finite element analysis and network-based tools is established through experimentally-based cellular injury thresholds for white matter regions. Once edges are degraded, graph theoretical measures are computed on the ''damaged'' network. For a frontal impact, the simulations predict that the temporal and occipital regions undergo the most axonal strain and strain rate at short times (less than 24 hrs), which leads to cellular death initiation, which results in damage that shows dependence on angle of impact and underlying microstructure of brain tissue. The monotonic cellular death relationships predict a spatiotemporal change of structural damage. Interestingly, at 96 hrs post-impact, computations predict no network nodes were completely disconnected from the network, despite significant damage to network edges. At early times (tv24 hrs) network measures of global and local efficiency were degraded little; however, as time increased to 96 hrs the network properties were significantly reduced. In the future, this computational framework could help inform functional networks from physics-based structural brain biomechanics to obtain not only a biomechanics-based understanding of injury, but also neurophysiological insight.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/08/02/Aug2012 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 86 EP - 92 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been not only a major focus of concern during the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also among our garrison service members. The prevalence of these injuries has compelled the nation and Congress to invest in the development of policies and programs that support evidence-based care for the full continuum of TBI, from mild (otherwise known as concussion) to severe and penetrating brain injuries. Although, the Department of Defense has made great strides in the areas of TBI clinical care, education, and research, there remains a great need to leverage scientific, policy, and clinical advancement to maximize care of the service member. The purpose of this article is to outline the 7 major areas of work currently being undertaken to help advance the field of TBI. The 7 areas include: (1) eliminating undetected mild traumatic brain injury through prompt early diagnosis, (2) ensuring force readiness and addressing cultural barriers, (3) improving collaborations with the Department of Veterans Affairs, other federal agencies, and academic and civilian organizations, (4) improving deployment-related assessments, (5) deploying effective treatments, (6) conducting military-relevant and targeted research, and (7) enhancing information technology systems.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 177 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 963 EP - 969 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Highly mobile multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) crashes present an important issue for the U.S. military. The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of occupants of military motor vehicle (MMV) crashes involving HMMWVs that occurred among deployed U.S. Army Soldiers. Crash-related data were collected from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on MMV crashes among active duty Army personnel between 1999 and 2006. Records for 964 occupants with injuries from HMMWV crashes were analyzed, which represented 52% of the total occupants of MMV crashes. A significant association was observed between injury and engagement in combat, odds ratio 1.49 (1.03, 2.16). The risk of injury was greatest for gunners, odds ratio 2.37 (1.43, 3.92), and injury cost related to the crash was significantly related to prior deployment status (p < 0.001) and role of Soldier in the vehicle (Operator p = 0.005, Gunner p = 0.003). There was also a decrease over time in the number of crashes resulting in injury (p < 0.001). These data support the development of interventions that address the specific risks detailed, including the use of combat simulation training, increased protection for vulnerable positions, and enforcement of safety regulations.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 177 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 930 EP - 938 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - On January 30,2009, nursing staff at a military hospital in Texas reported that single-patient use insulin pens were used on multiple patients. An investigation was initiated to determine if patient-to-patient bloodborne transmission occurred from the practice. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing was offered to patients hospitalized from August 2007 to January 2009 and prescribed insulin pen injections. Virus from HCV-infected patients' sera was sequenced and compared for relatedness. An anonymous survey was administered to nurses. Of 2,113 patients prescribed insulin pen injections, 1,501 (71%) underwent testing; 6 (0.4%) were HIV positive, 6 (0.4%) were hepatitis B surface antigen positive, and 56 (3.7%) had HCV antibody. No viral sequences from 10 of 28 patients with newly diagnosed and 12 of 28 patients with preexisting HCV infection were closely related. Of 54 nurses surveyed, 74% reported being trained on insulin pen use, but 24% believed nurses used insulin pens on more than one patient. We found no clear evidence of bloodborne pathogen transmission. Training of hospital staff on correct use of insulin pens should be prioritized and their practices evaluated. Insulin pens should be more clearly labeled for single-patient use.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 7 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Infectious diarrhea remains a major risk to deployed military units worldwide in addition to their impact on travelers and populations living in the developing world. This report describes an outbreak of diarrheal illness in the U.S. military's 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade deployed in San Vicente, El Salvador during a training and humanitarian assistance mission. An outbreak investigation team from U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit - Six conducted an epidemiologic survey and environmental assessment, patient interviews, and collected stool samples for analysis in an at risk population of 287 personnel from May 31st to June 3rd, 2011. Personnel (n = 241) completed an epidemiological survey (87% response rate) and 67 (27%) reported diarrhea and/or vomiting during the past two weeks. The median duration of illness was reported to be 3 days (IQR 2-4 days) and abdominal pain was reported among 30 (49%) individuals. Presentation to the medical aid station was sought by (62%) individuals and 9 (15%) had to stop or significantly reduce work for at least one day. Microscopy and PCR analysis of 14 stool samples collected from previously symptomatic patients, Shigella (7), Cryptosporidium (5), and Cyclospora (4) were the most prevalent pathogens detected. Consumption of food from onbase local vendors (RR = 4.01, 95% CI = 1.53-10.5, p-value <0.001) and arriving on base within the past two weeks (RR = 2.79, 95% confidence [CI] = 1.35-5.76, p-value = 0.001) were associated with increased risk of developing diarrheal disease. The risk of infectious diarrhea is great among reserve military personnel during two week training exercises. The consumption of local food, prepared without proper monitoring, is a risk factor for deployed personnel developing diarrheal illness. Additional information is needed to better understand disease risks to personnel conducting humanitarian assistance activities in the Latin America Region.

We have used this VPL code to generate highly "tuned" penetration resistance functions that can distinctly model the penetration trajectory of steel projectiles into rate-independent, elastic-perfectly plastic aluminum targets. Projectiles with arbitrary nose geometry were considered in this example (i.e. conical, ogival, and spherical nose shapes). The penetration resistance of the aluminum target was determined by numerically solving a series of spherical and cylindrical cavity expansion problems. The solution to these cavity expansion problems were obtained with an explicit, dynamic finite element code that accounts for material and geometric nonlinearities. The resulting cavity expansion equations are then transformed to penetration resistance functions using various transformation algorithms, in order to determine an appropriate method to spatially distribute the resisting stresses on the projectile nose. The resulting penetration resistance functions were then used in a penetration trajectory code to predict the actual trajectories observed from a set of similar experiments.

One relationship currently in use partitions the two categories using a linear model of aerosolized fraction versus fragment energy deposited per unit mass of liquid which is based on calculations and a few test data points. Since this model is incorporated in popular programs used by an expanding number of first responders to assess potential hazards, there is a need for high-confidence test data across the parameter space of interest to improve and/or validate the model. Such a series of tests was conducted during November of 2008 in which 7.57-liter (ℓ) sized cans of water were impacted with fragments of known mass using scored cased explosive charges. Impact velocities were measured, and the remaining water in the can and on the nearby ground platform was collected and weighed. The missing water was assumed to be aerosolized. This new data establishes an S-curve as a more accurate relationship between aerosolized fraction (AF) and the fragment energy deposited per unit mass of liquid in the container.

JO - Journal of Thermal Stresses JF - Journal of Thermal Stresses Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 35 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 614 EP - 636 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 01495739 AB - In Part I of this study a coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model for the simulation of the entire precision glass lens molding process was presented. That study addressed the material definitions for the molding glass, L-BAL35, computational convergence, and how the final deviation of the lens shape from the mold shape is achieved for both a bi-convex lens and a steep meniscus lens. In the current study, after validating the computational approach for both lens types, an extensive sensitivity analysis is performed to quantify the importance of several material and process parameters that affect deviation for both lens shapes. Such a computational mechanics approach has the potential to replace the current trial-and-error, iterative process of mold profile design to produce glass optics of required geometry, provided all the input parameters are known to sufficient accuracy. Some of the critical contributors to deviation include structural relaxation of the glass, thermal expansion of the molds, TRS and viscoelastic behavior of the glass and friction between glass and mold. The results indicate, for example, the degree of accuracy to which key material properties should be determined to support such modeling. In addition to providing extensive sensitivity results, this computational model also helps lens molders/machine designers to understand the evolution of lens profile deviation for different lens shapes during the course of the process.

JO - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development JF - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 49 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 535 EP - 543 PB - VA Prosthetics Research & Development Center SN - 07487711 AB - For servicemembers who have sustained amputa­tions and wish to return to Active Duty, performing common military tasks is essential. The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolic requirements of servicemembers with transtibial amputations wearing a loaded rucksack and walking at a steady speed. We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have rede­ployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more tax­ing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations.

The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during a wave event is an important parameter in determining erosion and transport for both experimental and model simulation applications. Sandia National Laboratories has developed a laboratory and field device called the sediment erosion actuated by wave oscillations and linear flow (SEAWOLF) flume in which high-resolution, particle-image velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to investigate turbulent flow shear stresses for a variety of flow conditions. The results of the PIV analysis for a wave cycle demonstrate a fully developed turbulent flow, relaminarization, and an explosive transition back to turbulence. In many cases, the results of the flume tests did not show good agreement with previously reported computational fluid dynamic results and existing theories, such as Blasius, for wave-current interactions, which raises the question of whether similar phenomena are present in real environments. These results implore more studies to be conducted with similarly high-resolution field measurements and modeling efforts to determine shear stress time history for oscillatory flows and the subsequent effects on erosion and sediment transport in wave-dominated environments.

SN - 10914269 AB - Data suggest military personnel involved in U. S. military initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan are returning from deployment with elevated rates of mental health diagnoses, including posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD). The aim of this study was to examine difficulties with emotion regulation as a potential contributory mechanism by which soldiers have poorer psychological outcomes, such as depression, dissociation, alcohol abuse, and interpersonal difficulties. Participants were 44 active-duty male service members who comprised three groups, including those deployed with and without diagnosed PTSD and those prior to deployment. Participants in the PTSD group scored significantly higher on measures of self-reported depression, trauma-related dissociation, alcohol misuse, and social adjustment difficulties than did comparison groups. Importantly, difficulties with emotion regulation were found to partially mediate the relationship between PTSD and depression, poor social adjustment, and trauma-related depersonalization but not alcohol misuse. Emotion-regulation difficulties are important to consider in the relationship between PTSD and additional psychological outcomes in recently deployed personnel. Implications for treatment are briefly discussed.

To expand this line of research, this study examined how disorientation affects aviators' cognition while actively piloting a flight simulator. Thirty-six UH-60 aviators participated in the study, and were asked to perform cognitive tests (presented aurally) as they flew oriented and disoriented flight profiles. Test accuracy was significantly worse for the disoriented condition than the two oriented conditions for both cognitive tests.

As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms. This study presents two significant capability findings associated with the future aeromedical evacuation platform and one doctrinal finding associated with medical planning for future brigade operations. The three results follow: (1) Given simplifying assumptions and constraints for a scenario where a future brigade is operating in a 300 x 300² km the zero-risk aircraft ground speed required for the FVL platform is 350 nautical miles per hour (knots); (2) Given these same assumptions and constraints with the future brigade projecting power in a circle of radius 150 km, the zero-risk ground speed required for the FVL platform is 260 knots; and (3) Given uncertain casualty locations associated with future brigade stability and support operations, colocating aeromedical evacuation assets and surgical elements mathematically optimizes the 60-minute set covering problem.

We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) to compute unadjusted and adjusted rates of KI, categorized by the Barell Matrix, within the ADA for the years 2000-2005. During this period, 21 to 25 per 1,000 ADA suffered from KI. The highest yearly rates were observed for knee dislocation and sprains/strains (31 per 1,000 ADA). In ADA with a history of a KI (within 2 years), rates increased nearly tenfold. Elevated KI rates were also seen in ADA with prior upper or lower leg injuries, those >30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 177 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 804 EP - 813 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the occurrence of visual dysfunctions and associated symptoms in active duty warfighters during the subacute stage of blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements. A reading test should be included in all routine exams as a functional assessment of the integration of oculomotor functions.

These calculations were performed using OVERFLOW-2, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, coupled to the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS), a rotorcraft comprehensive analysis. For time-varying maneuvers, the two codes were tightly coupled and exchanged airloads and structural deflections at every time step. The coupled solution methodology gives improved airload prediction because of the ability to model three-dimensional transonic effects on the advancing blade, stall events on the retreating blade, as well as the aeroelastic deformations. Correlation with data for both the airloads and structural loads is reasonably good. Control load predictions also show good correlation with data, which is a substantial improvement over conventional analyses. A quasisteady loosely coupled approximate solution was also examined and was found to give good airload and structural load predictions, for this relatively slow maneuver.

Blade pitch bearing stiffness; blade pitch index; and flap chord, span, location, and control function of the inboard and outboard flaps were systematically varied on a utility-class rotorcraft trimmed in steady level flight. Gradient-based optimizations minimizing flap deflections were performed to identify single- and two-TEF swashplateless rotor designs. Steady, forward flight analysis suggest that a two-TEF swashplateless rotor where the outboard flap provides cyclic control and inboard flap provides collective control can reduce TEF deflection requirements without a significant impact on power, compared to a single-TEF swashplateless rotor design.

The cruise tip speed and bilinear twist distribution are optimized using the Comprehensive Analytical Model of Rotorcraft Aerodynamics and Dynamics (CAMRAD II). Systemlevel metrics are computed using the NASA Design and Analysis of Rotor Craft (NDARC) program to show top-level payoffs. An aeroperformance map is generated using comprehensive analysis for the optimum twist distribution, providing calibration data for the main rotor model within NDARC. Effects of disk loading and wing loading on the size of the slowed-rotor compound helicopter are analyzed, and off-design performance is computed. Rotor-wing interference effects are analyzed using CAMRAD II for several wing vertical locations.

T1 - Frequent Arousal from Hibernation Linked to Severity of Infection and Mortality in Bats with White-Nose Syndrome. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 7 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - White-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging infectious disease that has killed over 5.5 million hibernating bats, is named for the causative agent, a white fungus (Geomyces destructans (Gd)) that invades the skin of torpid bats. During hibernation, arousals to warm (euthermic) body temperatures are normal but deplete fat stores. Temperature-sensitive dataloggers were attached to the backs of 504 free-ranging little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in hibernacula located throughout the northeastern USA. Dataloggers were retrieved at the end of the hibernation season and complete profiles of skin temperature data were available from 83 bats, which were categorized as: (1) unaffected, (2) WNS-affected but alive at time of datalogger removal, or (3) WNS-affected but found dead at time of datalogger removal. Histological confirmation of WNS severity (as indexed by degree of fungal infection) as well as confirmation of presence/absence of DNA from Gd by PCR was determined for 26 animals. We demonstrated that WNS-affected bats aroused to euthermic body temperatures more frequently than unaffected bats, likely contributing to subsequent mortality. Within the subset of WNS-affected bats that were found dead at the time of datalogger removal, the number of arousal bouts since datalogger attachment significantly predicted date of death. Additionally, the severity of cutaneous Gd infection correlated with the number of arousal episodes from torpor during hibernation. Thus, increased frequency of arousal from torpor likely contributes to WNS-associated mortality, but the question of how Gd infection induces increased arousals remains unanswered.

JO - Journal of Thermal Stresses JF - Journal of Thermal Stresses Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 35 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 550 EP - 578 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 01495739 AB - Coupled thermomechanical finite element models were developed in ABAQUS to simulate the precision glass lens molding process, including the stages of heating, soaking, pressing, cooling and release. The aim of the models was the prediction of the deviation of the final lens profile from that of the mold, which was accomplished to within one-half of a micron. The molding glass was modeled as viscoelastic in shear and volume using an n-term, prony series; temperature dependence of the material behavior was taken into account using the assumption of thermal rheological simplicity (TRS); structural relaxation as described by the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM)-model was used to account for temperature history dependent expansion and contraction, and the molds were modeled as elastic taking into account both mechanical and thermal strain. In Part I of this two-part series, the computational approach and material definitions are presented. Furthermore, in preparation for the sensitivity analysis presented in Part II, this study includes both a bi-convex lens and a steep meniscus lens, which reveals a fundamental difference in how the deviation evolves for these different lens geometries. This study, therefore, motivates the inclusion of both lens types in the validations and sensitivity analysis of Part II. It is shown that the deviation of the steep meniscus lens is more sensitive to the mechanical behavior of the glass, due to the strain response of the newly formed lens that occurs when the pressing force is removed.

JO - Science & Engineering Ethics JF - Science & Engineering Ethics Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 369 EP - 392 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 13533452 AB - Even after multiple cycles of ABET accreditation, many engineering programs are unsure of how much curriculum content is needed to meet the requirements of ABET's Criterion 3.f (an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility). This study represents the first scholarly attempt to assess the impact of curriculum reform following the introduction of ABET Criterion 3.f. This study sought to determine how much professional and ethical responsibility curriculum content was used between 1995 and 2005, as well as how, when, why, and to what effect changes in the amount of content occurred. Subsequently, the study sought to evaluate if different amounts of curriculum content generated differing student outcomes. The amount of curriculum content used by each of the participating programs was identified during semi-structured interviews with program administrators and a review of ABET Self-Study documents. Quantitative methods were applied to determine if a relationship existed between the curriculum content and performance on a nationally administered, engineering-specific standardized examination. The findings indicate a statistical relationship, but a lack of structure between the amount of required content in the curriculum and performance on the examination. Additional findings were also generated regarding the way that programs interpret the Criterion 3.f feedback generated during accreditation visits. The primary impact of this study is that it dispels the myth that more courses or course time on professionalism and ethics will necessarily lead to positive engineering education outcomes. Much of the impetus to add more curriculum content results from a lack of conclusive feedback during ABET accreditation visits.

The morphology and crystal structure of pristine nanowires are characterized through FE-SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction and EDAX studies. Photoluminescence behavior of pristine nanowires is also reported. Surface modification behavior of synthesized nanowires on a ZnO-oleic acid system is studied by utilizing Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy. Based on these findings, 1-pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) has been identified as an appropriate fluorescent receptor for sensing p-nitrophenol. Fluorescence quenching experiments on a PBA- p-nitrophenol system are reported and a detection limit of up to 28 ppb is envisaged for PBA-grafted ZnO nanowire-based optical sensor.

This effort specifically targeted evidence of late Quaternary surface deformation and, combined with separate paleoseismic investigations, identified and characterized the North Kern Canyon, South Kern Canyon, and Lake Isabella sections of the Kern Canyon fault and the Breckenridge fault. The mapping presented here provides definitive evidence for previously unrecognized Holocene and late Pleisto cene east-down displacement along the Kern Canyon and Breckenridge faults. Our results indicate that much of the Kern Canyon fault has undergone Quaternary reactivation to accommodate internal deformation of the otherwise rigid Sierra Nevada block. This deformation reflects ongoing, seismogenic crustal thinning in the southern Sierra Nevada, and highlights the effects of localized tectonic forces operating in this part of the Sierra Nevada.

The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

Methods: Deploying soldiers (N = 260) completed the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. Cognitive tests, a deployment healthhistory questionnaire, and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Military Version were completed by subsamples of available participants. Results: The prevalence of positive ASRS screens was 10.4%. ASRS scores were correlated with PTSD avoidance (n = 63, p = 0.37, p - 0.003), hyperarousal (17 = 63, p = 0.25, p = 0.047), and total PTSD scores (n = 62, p = 0.33, p = 0.009); and all six moods (e.g., anger, anxiety) scale scores (n = 110; p = -0.37 to 0.43). ASRS was also correlated with scores on the match-to-sample (n = 110, p = -0.23, p = 0.014) and emotional Stroop (n = 108, p = -0.23, p = 0.016) tasks. In addition, a differential pattern between subtypes of ADHD was noted with regard to cognitive functioning, mood, and combat stress symptomatology. Conclusions: Although the results are preliminary given the sample size, the prevalence and comorbidities of ADHD appear to be similar among military and nonmilitary populations.

Anomalous electric-field-induced electro-acoustic resonances were observed and characterized as a function of extrinsic electric field magnitude, ambient temperature, and sample diameter. The real and imaginary parts of the measured permittivities were fit to frequency-dependent functions derived from the Lorentz oscillator model. From these functions, extracted static dielectric constants were found to display excellent agreement with a closed-form expression derived by calculating third-order nonlinear susceptibility from the Landau-Devonshire-Ginzberg model.

Benefits of lightweight, high strength carbon fiber reinforced composites in missile launchers and rocket motor cases include improved fuel economy, increased flight times, enhanced lethality and/or increased velocity. In this work, various nondestructive inspection techniques are investigated for the damage assessment of a composite missile launcher system for use in U.S. Army attack helicopters. The launcher system, which includes rails and a hardback, can be subject to impact damage from accidental tool drops, routine operation, and/or ballistic threats. The composite hardback and the launch rails both have complex geometries that can challenge the inspection process. Scanning techniques such as line scanning thermography, ultrasonic, and acousto-ultrasonics will be used and compared to determine damage detection accuracy, reliability, and efficiency. Results will also be compared with visual observations to determine if there is a correlation. The goal is to establish an inspection method that quickly and accurately assesses damage extent in order to minimize service time and return the missile system back into the field [1].

Impact damage caused by low velocity strikes may result in crack formation in the transparent materials or delaminations between layers, which can impair visibility and affect performance. In this effort, transparent laminate systems have been nondestructively evaluated in a pre-impact, baseline state using visual inspection, cross-polarization imaging, and ultrasound characterization. After subjecting the laminate systems to a series of low velocity impact tests, the same nondestructive methods were used for characterization of the post-impact state. The effects of cumulative damage to the laminate systems were also studied by impacting them multiple times at the same location and observing the increase in damage and resulting damage mechanisms. This work provided a means for comparison of transparent laminate systems based on low velocity impact damage tolerance to achieve improved visibility and protection capabilities.

The inverted terahertz waveform from the InxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructure indicates that the dominant terahertz generation mechanism is electron acceleration toward the InxGa1-xN surface in an internal electric field primarily associated with piezoelectric polarization charge at the heterointerface, rather than diffusive transport away from the surface typically observed in bulk semiconductors. The persistence of the inverted waveform for 266 nm excitation provides evidence of ultrafast electron relaxation via LO phonon emission.

SN - 07490208 AB - Currently, a number of organizations across the Gulf Coast are simultaneously collecting and distributing proprietary data. However, if Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) users are to perform analysis efficiently and make effective, educated decisions to support various coastal projects, collaboration and data sharing at all levels of government and among the numerous shareholders must be established. One method of doing this is the implementation of an enterprise geographic information system (EGIS)-a geospatial technology infrastructure that delivers spatial information products, services, and standard data sets to all business elements and processes within and among organizations. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed and/or participated in a number of such enterprise GIS efforts, including the eCoastal, CE-Dredge, and Spatial Presentation Viewer programs. It is therefore proposed that the GRSMMP establish a firm data management plan and implement an organized, enterprise approach to data management through the use of Web Map Services (WMS). By including the publication of planned data acquisition, inventory of available offline data products, and direct access to organization flagship data sets, such a proposal would allow GRSMMP members to locate, connect to, view, and retrieve desirable data sets across many agencies, saving time and money previously dedicated to new data acquisition.

SN - 07490208 AB - Dredging activities are a potential source of sediment and should be considered in any conservation and restoration planning process. Wise use of sediment resources from dredging is integral to accomplishing the conservation and restoration initiatives and objectives being recommended under the Gulf of Mexico Alliance. Keeping dredged sediments within the natural system or using it in the construction of restoration projects can improve environmental conditions, provide storm damage protection, and contribute to habitat creation and restoration goals. Hundreds of millions of cubic yards of sediments are dredged each year from Gulf ports, harbors, and waterways, much of which could be used beneficially. Currently it is estimated that about 30% of all material dredged from federal channels in the Gulf states is used beneficially and very little of the privately funded dredging is used for beneficial purposes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducts dredging under its navigation maintenance program and much of the dredging conducted is typically done on a scheduled and routine basis. Successful planning of beneficial-use projects utilizing USACE dredging necessitates the early coordination and work of multidisciplinary interagency teams on a regular basis. There is also a need to improve data access and management for dredging activities for use by project managers and planners.

SN - 07490208 AB - Development of dynamic regional sediment management (RSM) plans is needed for future planning, construction, and monitoring of wetland and barrier island restoration. Broadly speaking, RSM refers to the optimum use of various sediment resources (littoral, estuarine, and riverine) in an environmentally effective and economically feasible manner. Coordination of the supply and demand sides of sand resources in a comprehensive manner will be required as project planning develops and evolves. The sediment budget is a planning tool that provides an accounting of sediment sources, sinks, and pathways as well as engineering activities and sediment budgets have generally been characterized as conceptual, interim, and operational depending upon the quality of the data, the level of analysis, and the uncertainty associated with the volume fluxes in the sediment budget. This paper summarizes existing sediment budget data for the entire Northern Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of this work has been to compile available sediment budget data into a common geographic information system-based data management framework in order to address various sediment management issues related to restoration around the Gulf of Mexico. The regional sediment budget is comprehensive and current through year end 2008. Within the coastal management community, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of reliable sediment budgets to inform sediment management decisions. However more work is needed to refine the sediment budget and provide its appropriate place in coastal management decisions.

SN - 07490208 AB - A partnership has been instituted through the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) among the Gulf States to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico. Established under the GOMA, the Habitat Conservation and Restoration Team (HCRT) recognized that sediments are integral to and a critical resource in accomplishing the GOMA conservation and restoration objectives. As a result, the Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) was initiated for managing sediment resources and corroborates the need for an understanding of regional sediment processes. The plan provides guidelines using the understanding of sediment dynamics to manage resources toward accomplishing environmental restoration, conservation, and preservation while enhancing abilities to make informed, management decisions. A key step in this process is the recognition of a technical framework that provides a foundation associated with regional sediment management processes essential for establishing management guidelines that balance sediment dynamics and available sediment resources with needs and that enhance abilities to make informed management decisions and develop regional strategies. Issues surrounding sediment management, both natural and dredged sediments, have a considerable impact on the ability to sustain coastal habitats. Sediment management must occur on a regional scale unencumbered by agency, state, or political boundaries. Guidelines and recommendations from this effort will aid the Gulf States in more effective management of sediment resources, recognizing they are a part of a regional system involving natural and man- made processes. The effort involves a range of state and federal agencies, as well as nongovernmental representatives. Thus, a technical framework for the GRSMMP was compiled/completed and submitted to the HCRT/GOMA. The decision was made to publish this document as peer-reviewed papers in a special issue of the Journal of Coastal Research for benefit of the global scientific community. In return, feedback in terms of review and comments will be beneficial for the team.

JO - Journal of Sport Rehabilitation JF - Journal of Sport Rehabilitation Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 21 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 151 EP - 160 SN - 10566716 AB - Context: Individuals with low back pain (LBP) are thought to benefit from interventions that improve motor control of the lumbopelvic region. It is unknown if therapeutic exercise can acutely facilitate activation of lateral abdominal musculature. Objective: To investigate the ability of 2 types of bridging-exercise progressions to facilitate lateral abdominal muscles during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals with LBP. Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-bytime interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant.

JO - Geographical Bulletin JF - Geographical Bulletin Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 38 PB - Gemma Theta Upsilon SN - 07313292 AB - Many conflicts are enabled by environmental instability. This has been especially problematical in sub-Saharan Africa where non-sustainable practices and environmental change have combined with the proliferation of failing governments, enabling long-standing ethnic and religious antagonisms to erupt into violent conflicts. History has demonstrated that environmental stress can result in conflict, frequently along ethnic lines. Thus, the concept of environmental security has emerged as one basis for under-tanding conflict. To that end, this paper examines the nexus between the environment and conflict and demonstrates the need for careful environmental analysis by presenting a model illustrating the relationship between natural resources and political stability in Sub-Saharan Africa. The results suggest that a statistically significant relationship exists between arable land and access to fresh water, and political stability and non-violence.

SN - 07490208 AB - The Hayes classification of tidal inlet geomorphic type and the distances from the inlet to the most seaward and down-drift extents of ebb deltas are examined. For this purpose, a database was compiled for 89 tidal inlets along the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Ocean coasts of the United States. The database contains spring or diurnal tidal prism and the average significant wave height and wave period from a 20-year hindcast. The Hayes diagram aims to classify inlet plan- view morphology by tide range and wave height. Based on the work presented here, it is concluded that the inlet classification of Hayes has limited applicability for describing the morphology of typical tidal inlets, and replacement of tide range by inlet tidal prism did not improve the classification. Best correlation for the two ebb delta extents was found for inlets segregated by wave exposure (as mild, moderate, or high) and by tidal prism. There was poor or no correlation for moderately wave-exposed inlets, and moderate to high correlation was found for mildly and highly exposed inlets. The seaward and down-drift extents of inlets tend to remain constant up to a tidal prism less than 108 m3, depending on wave exposure, and then increase linearly with tidal prism. It is postulated that a tidal prism less than approximately 108 m3 is a tipping point required to overcome other factors controlling tidal inlet plan-form morphology.

The region of interest is modeled with a shallow-water, depth-averaged, finite-element model. The water levels and discharge are analyzed at a location in the GIWW to ascertain model behavior. It is shown that the presence of the structure produces infrequent increases in velocities in the GIWW, which can be mitigated by a proposed structure near Lake Pontchartrain.

Time series measurements of irregular and unsteady flow thickness and velocity were acquired at two locations on the landward-side, 1V : 3H slope. These measurements were used to calculate the time series of instantaneous shear stress representing the average over a 4.8-m-long (prototype scale) levee slope between the two measurement locations. Empirical relationships are presented for estimating the mean shear stresses for steady overflow and for combined wave and surge overtopping. For the latter case, additional formulas are given for estimating representative parameters of the irregular shear stress peaks associated with individual overtopping waves. The collected data were intended primarily for the design of rapidly deployable levee armoring systems; however, the data could also be used to evaluate the erosion of soil or vegetated levees and dikes.

The extended CSHORE is compared with five tests conducted in a wave basin with a recirculation system. The cross-shore variations of the longshore current and sediment-transport rate are predicted fairly well for the cases of no and favorable pressure gradients. The cases of adverse and time-varying pressure gradients are computed to extrapolate the experimental results for wider applications.

This report covers the analysis, approach, and results examining energy performance for the Army tactical equipment maintenance facility. Starting with a previous project by CERL and NREL that explored 30% energy savings for the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (U.S. Congress 2005), the current project was able to achieve 40%-63% site energy savings (depending on climate zone) compared to a baseline building model, and 51%-76% source energy savings compared to Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey 2003 (EIA 2008) data for a similar building type. Recommended energy efficiency measures include passive house insulation standards, demand control ventilation strategies in the maintenance repair bays, radiant floor heating, transpired solar collectors, reduced lighting power densities, daylighting, and lighting control strategies.

The study was completed in response to the mandates for energy savings in federal buildings enacted by the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (U.S. Congress 2007). The building types studied included an Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH or barracks), a brigade headquarters (administrative building), a company operation facility, a maintenance facility, and a dining facility (DFAC). The study was conducted for representative locations in all 15 DOE identified climate zones in the United States with building designs adapted to these climatic conditions. This paper presents the results of the energy analysis for a typical Army dining facility. It discusses energy efficiency measures and combinations used to reduce both internal and external loads on the building and overall energy use. The largest load in a DFAC is the cooking, and the currently available best-in-class kitchen equipment is included in the final design. The potential site energy savings compared to the energy code range from 21% to 38%. The potential source energy savings compared to Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey ranges from 37% to 42%. Additional savings may be obtained if an efficient cogeneration system is used and the building is considered as a part of the building cluster or community to fully utilize the energy from the cogeneration system.

This raises the bar considerably from the 2005 Energy Policy Act, which required federal facilities be built to achieve at least 30% energy savings over ASHRAE Standard 90.1 - 2004. On the trajectory towards the 2030 goal, buildings have to meet 65% decrease of source energy from the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) survey for the building type specified. The EISA requirement is not a comparison between a baseline and an energy efficient simulation, but a direct comparison with the actual results from the final simulation with the EISA target. This is not a delta percentage comparison; it includes total source energy and all the building loads must be addressed and not left out of the calculation as an unregulated portion of the building load. The result of the study was guidance on how to reach a 60-80% energy use reduction from Commercial Building Energy Consumption Study (CBECS). The 2005 Energy Policy Act requires that federal facilities be built to achieve at least a 30% energy savings over the 2004 ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004. The Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in collaboration with USACE HQ and Centers of Standardization for respective building types, subject matter expert (SME) contractors, and the DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) participated in a study to recommend design guides to achieve the Federal requirements for new buildings to be constructed under the Military Transformation Program. The building types included Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing or UEPH, administrative buildings (e.g., a brigade headquarters, and a company operation facility), a tactical equipment maintenance facility, and a dining facility. This paper presents the results of the energy analysis for the soldier barracks (UEPH). It provides the baseline building selected for the analysis and the modeling assumptions. As a result of a computer analysis using EnergyPlus, the target energy budgets are defined for all DOE 15 Climate Zones. Finally, a recommended set of energy efficient solutions for each climate zone is presented that shows the buildings limit as it approached net zero ready. It shows potential energy savings both on the building site and source energy when energy use reduction is considered on a building-by-building basis. It also shows further energy use reduction opportunities when energy improvements are made with each building considered as a part of the building cluster or community.

Army policy is to achieve eight net zero energy pilot installations by 2020, 25 net zero energy installations by 2031, and for all installations to achieve net zero energy status by 2058. Achieving Net Zero Energy (NZE) will only be possible if an optimum mix of demand reduction and renewable sources are put in place at a community (installation) or building cluster scale. The Army operates what are essentially small campuses, or clusters of buildings on its installations. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is focused on the national grid scale or on individual buildings, while the commercial focus is on retrofits to individual buildings. There are only few case studies worldwide that address dynamics of energy systems at the community scale, and to date, there is a lack of tools to perform that task. The building stock at most US Army installations is complex and includes a mix of high and low energy use buildings. Energy use in these buildings varies due to the different military mission and requirements for each building, installation growth and expansion, and soldier deployment. Achieving net zero energy economically at such installations will require a seamless blend of energy conservation in individual buildings and building systems automation, utility management and control, and power delivery systems that have the capability to offer integration of on-site power generation (including renewable energy sources). This paper describes the Net Zero fossil fuel based energy optimization process and illustrates it with an example based on the results of study conducted for a cluster of buildings at Fort Irwin, CA. The integrated optimization process is being developed under the Army research and development project "Modeling Net Zero Installations - Energy (NZI-E)" and the International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) Annex 51. The process is stepped, beginning with the optimization of each building to achieve the most cost effective energy efficient optimization of building envelope and energy using systems. Then energy saving measures affecting the total building cluster are optimized taking advantages of the diversification between energy intensities, scheduling, and waste energy streams utilization. The energy demands of the resulting energy-use optimized cluster will require the minimum sized renewable energy system needed to make the building cluster Net Zero fossil fuel energy.

JO - Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering JF - Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 138 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 406 EP - 415 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339437 AB - A river salinity model has been developed on the 21 major canal areas in the lower Arkansas River Basin in Colorado to address the impact of irrigation return flow on the river. The quantity of the return flow is predicted by constructing response functions for tailwater, canal leakage, and in-field deep percolation so that the spatial and temporal distribution of the return flow can be simulated. A groundwater table surface is generated using water table elevation data from 974 wells in the study area to establish flow paths and travel time for groundwater. The quality of the return flow is predicted by simulating the evapoconcentration process in the root zone soil in which hydro-chemical reactions occur and affect the salinity of in-field deep percolation water. The effects of shallow water table and high soil salinity on crops are simulated to account for the impacts that these two factors have on crop consumptive use. Model calibration and validation over a 192-month period from January 1986 to December 2001 show strong agreement between the observed and simulated values of river flow volume and river salinity. The simulation results show that irrigation return flows, including tailwater and groundwater return flows, significantly increase river quantity, but that groundwater return flow is also a major component of river salinity. There is significant seasonal fluctuation in river salinity and soil water salinity. The increase of soil water salinity from the soil surface to the bottom of the root zone is significant and will cause salt to be loaded to the groundwater. The simulation from 1991-2001 indicates that 20.9% of the 19,944 million m3 of irrigation water applied to Colorado's lower Arkansas Valley becomes canal leakage, 22.5% is in-field deep percolation, and 22.9% becomes tailwater. This study assesses the effect of reducing agricultural irrigation on river salinity. Consider the scenario of three major canals stopping irrigation and transferring a portion of the curtailed water to off-basin cities with the remaining portion released to the river. The results indicate that, in order not to increase river salinity for downstream reaches, the portion of water transferred to cities should not exceed 50%.

Although braces are recommended for injury prevention purposes, the impact of braces on physical performance is unknown. This study evaluated lace-up ankle braces, worn inside the boots, across three conditions: no brace, unilateral brace, and bilateral brace on the dependent variables of dynamic lower extremity reach and obstacle course performance. Thirty-seven military cadets were tested over 3 days. Ankle bracing had a small effect upon anterior and composite lower extremity reach distances. Bracing had no effect upon obstacle course performance times. Inside-the-boot ankle bracing restricts lower extremity reaching and mildly impacts mobility, however, no restrictions were observed with running, climbing, jumping, or negotiating obstacles. Lace-up ankle braces can be used in conjunction with combat boots to protect the ankle during high-risk activities without having an impact upon tactical movements.

Q fever is a zoonotic infection caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Over 150 confirmed cases have occurred among U.S. military personnel deployed to Iraq since 2007. Acute Q fever is underdiagnosed because of a myriad of possible clinical presentations but typically presents as a flu-like illness. The most common chronic manifestation is endocarditis. Most providers are not familiar with the diagnosis, treatment, or appropriate follow-up of this disease. In order to facilitate the care of patients infected with C. burnetii, the Armed Forces Infectious Diseases Society convened a panel of experts in the field to develop practical guidelines for those caring for infected patients. The recommendations and rationale are reviewed in this article.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 7 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Soluble receptor decoy inhibitors, including receptor-immunogloubulin (Ig) fusion proteins, have shown promise as candidate anthrax toxin therapeutics. These agents act by binding to the receptor-interaction site on the protective antigen (PA) toxin subunit, thereby blocking toxin binding to cell surface receptors. Here we have made the surprising observation that co-administration of receptor decoy-Ig fusion proteins significantly delayed, but did not protect, rats challenged with anthrax lethal toxin. The delayed toxicity was associated with the in vivo assembly of a long-lived complex comprised of anthrax lethal toxin and the receptor decoy-Ig inhibitor. Intoxication in this system presumably results from the slow dissociation of the toxin complex from the inhibitor following their prolonged circulation. We conclude that while receptor decoy-Ig proteins represent promising candidates for the early treatment of B. anthracis infection, they may not be suitable for therapeutic use at later stages when fatal levels of toxin have already accumulated in the bloodstream.

How did West Point reconcile the memory of Confederate graduates who, while famed for their martial prowess, fought against the U.S. Army? In the Gilded Age, West Point neither forgot nor forgave Confederate graduates for fighting against the U.S. Army. The memory of wartime chaos, Congressional criticism, and Confederate graduates' betrayal left the Military Academy feeling defensive. This defensiveness led West Point to create a series of written and stone memorials, mainly in the 1890s, highlighting West Point's role in saving the Union. All of the memorials excluded Confederate graduates.

Item P-401 specifies the material characteristics and construction requirements for airport asphalt pavements, but does not currently provide guidance for using the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) in the preparation of specimens used in the design of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. Nearly all state departments of transportation in the USA use the SGC along with the Superpave mix design procedure. Since most HMA mixes are used in roadways, many asphalt contractors no longer maintain expertise and equipment for conducting the Marshall mix design procedure currently used by the FAA. The lack of contractors familiar with the Marshall method may become a significant problem for the FAA in the future. This paper describes a laboratory study of the HMA mix design for airport pavements, which uses the SGC. The purpose of the study was to determine the number of gyrations with the SGC needed to design asphalt pavement mixtures for airports. A value of 70 gyrations is recommended for further evaluations based on the comparisons of volumetric measurements of HMA mixture specimens compacted using Marshall compaction with specimens from the same mixture compacted using Superpave gyratory compaction.

A significant part of the success of human tutors is based on their perception of student affect (e.g., mood or emotions). To at least match the capabilities of human tutors, computer-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) will need to "perceive" student affect and improve performance by selecting more effective instructional strategies (e.g., feedback). To date, ITS have fallen short in realizing this capability. Much of the existing research models the emotions of virtual characters rather than assessing the affective state of the student. Our goal was to determine the context and importance of student mood in an adaptable ITS model. To enhance our existing model, we evaluated procedural reasoning systems used in virtual characters, and reviewed behavioral and physiological sensing methods and predictive models of affect. Our experiment focused on passive capture of behaviors (e.g., mouse movement) during training to predict the student's mood. The idea of mood as a constant during training and predictors of performance are also discussed.

Over 7 years, we passively collected 13,365 downstream-migrating juvenile salmon in rivers above and below Willamette dams. Most salmon emigrated from upstream sites in February-June, but passed dams in November-February when reservoirs were drawn down near annual lows, and access to deep-water passage routes improved. Samples collected above reservoirs were dominated by subyearlings, whereas below-dam samples were a phenotypically diverse mix of subyearling, yearling and older salmon. The life history data indicated that Willamette reservoirs seasonally entrap many salmon and some sea-ready smolts probably residualise. Annual dam-passage mortality estimates were 8-59% (mean = 26%). Individual salmon mortality risk increased significantly with body length and varied with reservoir elevation and discharge. Operational changes that allow timely volitional emigration and development of less hazardous passage routes would benefit this threatened population.

Two scales reflecting internality or externality were created based on a priori assignment of items. Items were also subjected to principal components analysis, and 6 empirical scales were identified from that analysis. Correlations were computed between the 2 a priori scales, the 6 empirical scales identified by the principal components analysis, involvement in hazardous events, and recent and total career accident involvement. Several of the LOC measures correlated significantly with recent accident involvement. However, only 1 measure was correlated with career accident involvement. Applications of the results in the development of safety training interventions and the evaluation of training programs are discussed.

This article summarizes the findings of the epidemiologic consultation report as provided to the Secretary of the Army and the Fort Carson Senior Mission Commander and released in its entirety publicly July 2009 and elaborates on the mixed-methods analytic approach used to study a complex behavioral issue at the community level. To aid in answering the key study questions, six study arms were designed and carried out: (1) index case analysis, (2) confinee interviews, (3) analysis of installation-level trends, (4) retrospective cohort analysis, (5) soldier focus groups and interviews, and (6) aggression risk factors survey. Although not conclusive, the findings suggest a combination of individual, unit, and environmental factors converged to increase the risk of violent behaviors, which made clustering of negative outcomes more likely.

The experiments with the glass specimens consisting of layered thin plates confirm the appearance of a failure wave in elastically compressed soda lime glass, heavy flint glass, K8 crown glass, and fused quartz, although the relationships between the Hugoniot elastic limits and the failure thresholds of these glasses are different. The failure wave process could occur as the stress grows above the failure threshold up to the stress level at which plastic deformation starts. The propagation speed of the failure wave in soda lime glass depends on the stress above the failure threshold, and does not depend on the propagation distance. The failure process becomes unstable and stops at the stress level near the failure threshold. Evidence of internal friction in glass within the elastic deformation region is observed.

The coupled Schrödinger equations for electron and hole states are solved self-consistently in the Hartree-Fock approximation along with the Poisson equation. As expected, the decreasing QW width and increasing plasma density diminish the charge separation in the QW induced by the internal field, leading to the relatively reduced contribution of the Hartree interaction to the energy-level shift. In contrast, the calculation also demonstrates that the contribution of many-body effects becomes more pronounced. The resulting competition between the many-body and Hartree contributions causes a nonmonotonous dependence of the electron and hole energies on the plasma density at a given field. These findings are applied to explore the potential bistable behavior in the QW electroabsorption under near-band-edge photoexcitation.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2005/07/15/ VL - 98 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 024507 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Integration of Ba1-xSrxTiO3- (BST) based thin films with affordable Si substrates has a potentially significant commercial impact as the demand for high-frequency tunable devices intensifies. Utilizing a coplanar device design we have monolithically integrated, optimized, and fabricated a high-performance composite bilayer heterostructure, Si/Ta2O5/BST, whereby the base layer film Ta2O5 serves as a passive buffer layer to allow integration of BST active thin films with affordable Si substrates. Optimization of this design configuration was achieved by evaluating two heterostructure processing protocols: (1) a single-anneal and (2) a dual-anneal process protocol. The reliability susceptibility, i.e., the nonabrupt defect-laden bilayer film interface, of the single-anneal protocol deemed it inappropriate for the fabrication of this monolithic heterostructure design. In contrast, the defect-free, structurally abrupt bilayer and buffer layer film-substrate interfaces suggest the dual anneal process to be an excellent method for realizing monolithic integration of BST with affordable Si substrates. This work suggests that the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the Ta2O5 buffer and the BST thin films in the coplanar device design serves to enhance the dielectric tunability of the device. Realization of this materials integration technology serves to promote broadscale implementation of affordable tunable microwave devices across a variety of advanced communications platforms.

JO - Journal of Alloys & Compounds JF - Journal of Alloys & Compounds Y1 - 2015/12/25/ VL - 653 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 68 SN - 09258388 AB - Electrically insulated ferrous powders permit isotropic magnetic flux, lower core losses, and structural freedom for state-of-the-art electromagnetic (EM) core and device designs. Many current coating materials are limited by low melting temperatures, which leads to insufficient insulation of powders, resulting in metal-on-metal contact. Use of a high-temperature coating material, such as alumina, could alleviate these issues. In this work, iron powder was mechanically milled with alumina media, to yield plastically deformed, alumina-coated iron particles with improved magnetic saturation, elastic modulus, and hardness. Various milling times and media ball sizes are investigated to maintain particle size, insulate powders uniformly, and optimize properties after compaction and curing. We found that longer milling times yielded more dense powder coatings and lower magnetic saturation.

Ebola virus (EBOV) genomes assembled from blood samples from the patient and a semen sample from the survivor were consistent with direct transmission. The genomes shared three substitutions that were absent from all other Western African EBOV sequences and that were distinct from the last documented transmission chain in Liberia before this case. Combined with epidemiologic data, the genomic analysis provides evidence of sexual transmission of EBOV and evidence of the persistence of infective EBOV in semen for 179 days or more after the onset of EVD.

Dynamic fracture toughness testing was performed in a modified Hopkinson pressure bar to investigate the effect of high-rate loading on fracture toughness values and fracture characteristics. Fracture surfaces were investigated through optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy to examine the surface roughness and fracture morphology. Reaction-bonded ceramic composites were found to have elevated fracture toughness values compared to pressureless-sintered ceramics. This enhancement is attributed to a change in fracture mode of the reaction-bonded materials and processing-induced residual compressive stresses within the silicon phase.

We analyze the liquid repellency of woven and nanotextured oleophobic fabrics using a nested model with n levels of hierarchy that is constructed from modular units of cylindrical and spherical building blocks. At each level of hierarchy, the density of the topographical features is captured using a dimensionless textural parameter Dn*. For a plain-woven mesh comprised of chemically treated fiber bundles (n = 2), the tight packing of individual fibers in each bundle (D2* ≈ 1) imposes a geometric constraint on the maximum oleophobicity that can be achieved solely by modifying the surface energy of the coating. For liquid droplets contacting such tightly bundled fabrics with modified surface energies, we show that this model predicts a lower bound on the equilibrium contact angle of θE≈ 57° below which the Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel wetting transition occurs spontaneously, and this is validated experimentally. We demonstrate how the introduction of an additional higher order micro-/nanotexture onto the fibers (n = 3) is necessary to overcome this limit and create more robustly nonwetting fabrics. Finally, we show a simple experimental realization of the enhanced oleophobicity of fabrics by depositing spherical microbeads of poly(methyl methacrylate)/fluorodecyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (fluorodecyl POSS) onto the fibers of a commercial woven nylon fabric.

JO - Nano Letters JF - Nano Letters Y1 - 2015/12/09/ VL - 15 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 8377 EP - 8384 SN - 15306984 AB - In ReS2, a layer-independent direct band gap of 1.5 eV implies a potential for its use in optoelectronic applications. ReS2 crystallizes in the 1T'-structure, which leads to anisotropic physical properties and whose concomitant electronic structure might host a nontrivial topology. Here, we report an overall evaluation of the anisotropic Raman response and the transport properties of few-layered ReS2 field-effect transistors. We find that ReS2 exfoliated on SiO2behaves as an n-type semiconductor with an intrinsic carrier mobility surpassing µi ~ 30 cm²/(V s) at T = 300 K, which increases up to ~350 cm²/(V s) at 2 K. Semiconducting behavior is observed at low electron densities n, but at high values of n the resistivity decreases by a factor of >7 upon cooling to 2 K and displays a metallic T²-dependence. This suggests that the band structure of 1T'-ReS2 is quite susceptible to an electric field applied perpendicularly to the layers. The electric-field induced metallic state observed in transition metal dichalcogenides was recently claimed to result from a percolation type of transition. Instead, through a scaling analysis of the conductivity as a function of T and n, we find that the metallic state of ReS2results from a second-order metal-to-insulator transition driven by electronic correlations. This gate-induced metallic state offers an alternative to phase engineering for producing ohmic contacts and metallic interconnects in devices based on transition metal dichalcogenides.

JO - Chemistry of Materials JF - Chemistry of Materials Y1 - 2015/12/08/ VL - 27 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 7945 EP - 7956 SN - 08974756 AB - We report on a novel type of triblock copolymer polymersomes with temperature-controlled permeability within the physiologically relevant temperature range of 37-42 °C for sustained delivery of anticancer drugs. These polymersomes combine characteristics of liposomes, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, monodispersity, and stability at room temperature, with tunable size and thermal responsiveness provided by amphiphilic triblock copolymers. The temperature-sensitive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)n-poly(dimethylsiloxane)65-poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)n (PVCLn-PDMS65-PVCLn) copolymers with n = 10, 15, 19, 29, and 50 and polydispersity indexes less than 1.17 are synthesized by controlled RAFT polymerization. The copolymers are assembled into stable vesicles at room temperature when the ratio of PVCL to the total polymer mass is 0.36 < f < 0.52 with the polymersome diameter decreasing from 530 to 40 nm as the length of PVCL is increased from 10 to 19 monomer units. Importantly, the permeability of polymersomes loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin can be precisely controlled by PVCL length in the temperature range of 37-42 °C. Increasing the temperature above the lower critical solution temperature of PVCL results in either gradual vesicle shrinkage (n = 10 and n = 15) or reversible formation of beadlike aggregates with no size change (n = 19), both leading to sustained drug release. All temperature-triggered morphological changes are reversible and do not compromise the structural stability of the vesicles. Finally, concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity of drug-loaded polymersomes to human alveolar adenocarcinoma cells is demonstrated. Considering the high loading capacity (~40%) and temperature responsiveness in the physiological range, these polymer vesicles have considerable potential as novel types of stimuli-responsive drug nanocarriers.

No work, so far, has been carried-out to understand high strain-rate plastic deformation behavior and resulting microstructure. This work focuses on understanding the deformation behavior of an Al0.1CrFeCoNi HEA at high strain-rate (HSR). HSR plastic deformation in compression mode was carried out using split-Hopkinson pressure bar. The pre- and post-deformation microstructures were studied using electron microscopes. A high strain-rate sensitivity of yield strength, significant work hardening, and profuse twinning are main characteristics observed during deformation of the alloy at HSR. Overall, the deformation behavior of the alloy was consistent with low stacking fault energy materials.

The sandwich comprises alumina hollow particle reinforced A356 alloy syntactic foam with carbon fabric skins. Crack initiation in the tensile side of the specimen causing failure of the skin, followed by rapid failure of the core in the direction applied load, is observed as the failure mechanism. Crack propagation through the alumina particles is observed in the failed specimens instead of interfacial failure. The average maximum strength, flexural strain and stiffness were measured as 91.2 ± 5.6 MPa, 0.49 ± 0.06% and 20.6 ± 0.7 GPa respectively. The collapse load is theoretically predicted using mechanics of sandwich beams. Experimental values show good agreement with theoretical predictions.

For this purpose, electrodeposited tin finishes were investigated regarding their microstructure utilizing X-ray diffraction, cross-sectional SEM and EBSD analyses. The corrosion as well as the tin whisker propensity strongly depends on the preferred orientation of the surface finishes. With an increasing texture along the (211) lattice plane a decreasing corrosion and whisker propensity were observed, on the contrary, the presence of the (101) and (112) textures results in an increased corrosion and whisker propensity. The maximum whisker length was reduced by one order of magnitude by changing the preferred orientation towards the (211) lattice plane of the tin finish. Modified embedded atom method simulations of tin surfaces demonstrate the minimization of the surface energy of (211) surfaces, whereas the surface energies of the (101) and (112) Miller planes are increased. We find a strong connection between the minimization of surface energy and the corrosion and tin whisker propensity of electrodeposited tin finishes. To our best knowledge, this is the first study connecting the influence of the electrodeposition parameters on the corrosion and whisker propensity explained by calculations of the surface energies of the corresponding crystal faces. The applied parameters for electrodeposition influence the grain orientation and thus the surface energy of the tin layers which affects both the corrosion as well as the tin whisker propensity.

However, as UHMWPE composites rely on their tenacity to decelerate the projectile impact, even in successfully arrested impacts issues arise with the blunt deformation trauma generated due to high deformation of the material into the Soldier. In this experiment, UHMWPE composite laminates employing two widely different laminate architectures, [0°/90°] and ARL X Hybrid, were evaluated to assess the effect of panel architecture on impact pressures generated in non-penetrating ballistic impact events. Panels were impacted with 7.62 mm lead core projectiles on a testing platform designed for the physics-based evaluation of BHBT of helmet materials. Composite panel deformation for the [0°/90°] configuration impacted the testing frame at velocities 2.2× higher than the ARL X Hybrid specimens, leading to a 526% higher average maximum pressure amplitude measured on the BHBT platform (45.5 ± 19.1 MPa and 7.3 ± 3.3 MPa for [0°/90°] and ARL X Hybrid, respectively), demonstrating the effectiveness of ARL X Hybrid in mitigating non-penetrating ballistic impact stress. The experiment has provided critical insight into non-penetrating small arms impact stresses and the role materials, materials processing, and materials design influence non-penetrating blunt trauma response.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 86 M3 - Article SP - 96 EP - 110 SN - 0734743X AB - A meshfree formulation under the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) was introduced for modeling the penetration and perforation of brittle geomaterials such as concrete. RKPM provides a robust framework to effectively model the projectile-target interaction and the material failure and fragmentation behaviors that are critical for this class of problems. A stabilized semi-Lagrangian formulation, in conjunction with a multiscale material damage model for brittle geomaterials and a kernel contact algorithm, were introduced for penetration modeling. In this work, the accuracy of the meshfree impact and penetration formulation was studied using a series of large-caliber projectile concrete slab perforation experiments with impact velocities in the ballistic regime. These experiments were selected due to the challenging nature of concrete perforation, and the results were used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method to model the penetration processes and the concrete target failure. Simulation results confirm the formulation's accuracy for this type of high-rate ballistic problem and establish a basis for extension to other types of impact problems. The results show the importance of properly formulating the method of domain integration to maintain accuracy in the presence of concrete fragmentation, and also highlight the method's ability to capture the fragmentation response without a need for non-physical treatments commonly used in conventional methods.

In order to address these concerns and prevent the delay of these critical research programs, we designed an experiment that permitted us to intramuscularly challenge statistically significant numbers of naïve and vaccinated cynomolgus macaques with either a 7U or 8U variant of the Ebola virus, Kikwit isolate. In naïve animals, no difference in survivorship was observed; however, there was a significant delay in the disease course between the two groups. Significant differences were also observed in time-of-fever, serum chemistry, and hematology. In vaccinated animals, there was no statistical difference in survivorship between either challenge groups, with two succumbing in the 7U group compared to 1 in the 8U challenge group. In summary, survivorship was not affected, but the Ebola virus disease course in nonhuman primates is temporally influenced by glycoprotein poly-U editing site populations.

JO - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics JF - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 92 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 SN - 05562813 AB - In recent models, the neutron-rich Ni isotopes around N = 40 are predicted to exhibit multiple low-energy excited 0+ states attributed to neutron and proton excitations across both the N = 40 and Z = 28 shell gaps. In 68Ni, the three observed 0+ states have been interpreted in terms of triple shape coexistence between spherical, oblate, and prolate deformed shapes. In the present work a new (02+) state at an energy of 1567 keV has been discovered in 70Ni by using /S-delayed, y-ray spectroscopy following the decay of 70Co. The precipitous drop in the energy of the prolate-deformed 0+ level between 68Ni and 70Ni with the addition of two neutrons compares favorably with results of Monte Carlo shell-model calculations carried out in the large fpg9/2d5/2 β model space, which predict a 02+ state at 1525 keV in 70Ni. The result extends the shape-coexistence picture in the region to ™Ni and confirms the importance of the role of the tensor component of the monopole interaction in describing the structure of neutron-rich nuclei.

Current scientific evidence for a polarized cardiovascular endurance training model. J Strength Cond Res 29(12): 3523-3530, 2015—Recent publications have provided new scientific evidence for a modern aerobic or cardiovascular endurance exercise prescription that optimizes the periodization cycle and maximizes potential endurance performance gains in highly trained individuals. The traditional threshold, high volume, and high-intensity training models have displayed limited improvement in actual race pace in (highly) trained individuals while frequently resulting in overreaching or overtraining (physical injury and psychological burnout). A review of evidence for replacing these models with the proven polarized training model seems warranted. This review provides a short history of the training models, summarizes 5 key studies, and provides example training programs for both the pre- and in-season periods. A polarized training program is characterized by an undulating nonlinear periodization model with nearly all the training time spent at a “light” (#13) and “very hard” ($17) pace with very limited time at “hard” (14-16) or race pace (6-20 Rating of Perceived Exertion [RPE] scale). To accomplish this, the polarization training model has specific high-intensity workouts separated by one or more long slow distance workouts, with the exercise intensity remaining below ventilatory threshold (VT) 1 and/or blood lactate of less than 2 mM (A.K.A. below race pace). Effect sizes for increasing aerobic endurance performance for the polarized training model are consistently superior to that of the threshold training model. Performing a polarized training program may be best accomplished by: going easy on long slow distance workouts, avoiding “race pace” and getting after it during interval workouts.

The resultant microstructures are composed of nano/ultrafine or micrometer-sized grains with larger intermetallic precipitates and small Zr oxide clusters (<10 nm diameter, measured and confirmed by atom probe tomography). The ODS alloys possess elevated compression properties, e.g., 1.2 and 2.4 GPa compressive yield stress at room temperature for samples consolidated at 700 °C and 1000 °C, respectively. This work highlights the relationship between processing, microstructure, and properties for this class of ferritic ODS alloys.

Subsequently, MTSs have grown in popularity in group and team research, spanning a breath of disciplines (psychology, organizational behavior, human factors, communication, and medicine). In this review, our goal is to highlight the existing research across a range of disciplines regarding MTSs that serves to answer the question, “What do we know about MTSs?” while also developing a future research agenda aimed at answering the question, “Where does our research need to go to better understand MTSs?” We specifically highlight the current trends, dynamics, and methodological issues in MTSs to further build the foundation for improving MTS effectiveness.

JO - Burns (03054179) JF - Burns (03054179) Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 41 IS - 8 M3 - journal article SP - 1636 EP - 1641 SN - 03054179 AB - Background: To date, there are no reviews on machine learning (ML) in burn care. Considering the growth of ML in medicine and the complexities and challenges of burn care, this review specializes on ML applications in burn care. The objective was to examine the features and impact of applications in targeting various aspects of burn care and research.Methods: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ScienceDirect, and citation review of relevant primary and review articles were searched for studies involving burn care/research and machine learning. Data were abstracted on study design, study size, year, population, application of burn care/research, ML technique(s), and algorithm performance.Results: 15 retrospective observational studies involving burn patients met inclusion criteria. In total 5105 patients with acute thermal injury, 171 clinical burn wounds, 180 9-mer peptides, and 424 12-mer peptides were included in the studies. Studies focused on burn diagnosis (n=5), aminoglycoside response (n=3), hospital length of stay (n=2), survival/mortality (n=4), burn healing time (n=1), and antimicrobial peptides in burn patients (n=1). Of these 15 studies, 11 used artificial neural networks. Importantly, all studies demonstrated the benefits of ML in burn care/research and superior performance over traditional statistical methods. However, algorithm performance was assessed differently by different authors. Feature selection varied among studies, but studies with similar applications shared specific features including age, gender, presence of inhalation injury, total body surface area burned, and when available, various degrees of burns, infections, and previous histories/conditions of burn patients.Conclusion: A common feature base may be determined for ML in burn care/research, but the impact of ML will require further validation in prospective observational studies and randomized clinical trials, establishment of common performance metrics, and high quality evidence about clinical and economic impacts. Only then can ML applications be advanced and accepted widely in burn care/research.

T1 - Inability to determine tissue health is main indication of allograft use in intermediate extent burns. JO - Burns (03054179) JF - Burns (03054179) Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 41 IS - 8 M3 - journal article SP - 1862 EP - 1867 SN - 03054179 AB - Introduction: Cutaneous allograft is commonly used in the early coverage of excised burns when autograft is unavailable. However, allograft is also applied in intermediate-extent burns (25-50%), during cases in which it is possible to autograft. In this population, there is a paucity of data on the indications for allograft use. This study explores the indications for allograft usage in moderate size burns.Methods: Under an IRB-approved protocol, patients admitted to our burn unit between March 2003 and December 2010 were identified through a review of the burn registry. Data on allograft use, total burn surface area, operation performed, operative intent, number of operations, intensive care unit length of stay, and overall length of stay were collected and analyzed. Data are presented as means±standard deviations, except where noted.Results: In the study period, 146 patients received allograft during their acute hospitalization. Twenty-five percent of allograft recipients sustained intermediate-extent burns. Patients with intermediate-extent burns received allograft later in their hospitalization than those with large-extent (50-75% TBSA) burns (6.8 days vs. 3.4 days, p=0.01). Allografted patients with intermediate-extent burns underwent more operations (10.8 vs. 6.1, p=0.002) and had longer hospitalizations (78.3 days vs. 40.9 days, p<0.001) than non-allografted patients, when controlled for TBSA. Clinical rationale for placement of allograft in this population included autograft failure, uncertain depth of excision, lack of autograft donor site, and wound complexity. When uncertain depth of excision was the indication, allograft was universally applied onto the face. In half of allografted intermediate-extent burn patients the inability to identify a viable recipient bed was the ultimate reason for allograft use.Conclusions: Unlike large body surface area burns, allograft skin use in intermediate-extent injury occurs later in the hospitalization and is driven by the inability to determine wound bed suitability for autograft application. Allograft application can be utilized to test recipient site viability in cases of autograft failure or uncertain depth of excision.

JO - Structural Chemistry JF - Structural Chemistry Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 26 IS - 5/6 M3 - Article SP - 1273 EP - 1280 SN - 10400400 AB - This study focused on investigation of the tautomeric properties of nitroguanidine (NQ), an energetic material, using theoretical approaches for NQ in both the gas phase and in aqueous solution. Density functional method (M062X) was used to estimate physical and chemical properties of NQ tautomers. Two different solvent models (CPCM and PCM) and two basis sets (6-31G( d, p) and 6-31 + G( d, p)) were utilized. A ranking of the stability order of the tautomers was predicted based on changes in Gibbs free energy values and were generally found to be in good agreement with previous theoretical and experimental studies. Electronic properties including dipole moment, electron affinity, ionization potential and charges of NQ were predicted in both gas and aqueous phases. In order to analyze NQ behavior in aqueous solution, several properties were calculated. Deprotonating as well as protonating of NQ revealed positive energies indicating that those processes are rather unfavorable and further characterized NQ as a compound with weak acid-base properties. We have calculated pK and pK values using data obtained from quantum chemical calculations using CPCM and COSMO-RS approaches. The COSMO-RS approach was able to reproduce experimental values with high accuracy, while the results obtained with CPCM method significantly differ from values obtained experimentally.

The geometry and properties of all compounds were calculated using density functional theory (M06-2X) and MP2 quantum chemical approaches. Calculations were carried out in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. Chemical stability of these compounds was evaluated in terms of the Gibbs free energy change. Two different solvation models were applied (CPCM and PCM). Calculations showed that overall differences in the results obtained using these two solvation models are negligible for all compounds considered. All possible NTO tautomers were examined and the results are in good agreement with previous studies performed in the gas phase. The stability order was revealed to be slightly dependent on the method applied. In order to estimate acidic properties of NTO, anions of several NTO tautomers were analyzed. In addition, p K values were calculated using different approaches. As compared with available experimental data it was found that the conductor-like screening model for real solvents approach leads to more accurate estimation of the p K value than the CPCM and PCM approaches. The p K value calculated using PCM and CPCM data showed large errors; however, it was proven that the pattern of deprotonation energy was correctly estimated.

JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 101 M3 - Article SP - 40 EP - 47 SN - 13596454 AB - Void strengthening in crystalline materials refers to the increase in yield stress due to the impediment of dislocation motion by voids. Dislocation dynamics (DD) is a modeling method well suited to capture the physics, length scales, and time scales associated with void strengthening. However, previous DD simulation of dislocation–void interactions have been unable to accurately account for the strong image forces acting on the dislocation due to the void’s free surface. In this article, we employ a finite-element-based DD method to determine the obstacle strength of voids, defined as the critical resolved shear stress for a dislocation to glide past an array of voids. Our results demonstrate that the attractive image forces between the dislocation and free surface significantly reduce the obstacle strength of voids. Effects of surface mobility and stress concentrations around the void are also explored and are shown to have minimal effect on the critical stress. Finally, a new model relating void size and spacing to obstacle strength is proposed.

All three bodies are assumed to be linear elastic and homogeneous. Our interest is in explicit expressions for the stress and velocity in the target at all times after impact. The analysis of this problem is simplified by reducing it to an initial-boundary value problem for the target only, which is solved by combining the d’Alembert solution of the wave equation with the Laplace transform method. An appropriate impact boundary condition is required on the front face of the target. In the literature this is usually taken as a prescribed step in stress or velocity, but the correct boundary condition involves a linear combination of the unknown stress and velocity at the impact face. Our solutions are expressed in an apparently new, compact form involving the floor (or greatest-integer) function. The results are amenable to asymptotic analysis; in particular, solutions for stress-free or rigid back faces follow easily as limiting cases of the backing impedance, and the long-time asymptotes of stress and velocity in the target are seen to be independent of the target’s elastic properties. All of our results are corroborated by derivation of exact discrete solutions from recursive equations for the impact problems.

We assessed water quality of a 2nd- and a 4th-order stream in a single watershed for 5 monsoon seasons before, during, and after a catastrophic wildfire. Fire had significant and sustained long-term effects on both streams. In the 2nd-order stream, variability in dissolved O2 (DO) increased after the fire. Daily total precipitation was unchanged, but episodic storm events resulted in significant increases in stream discharge that led to elevated turbidity and specific conductance (SC). In the 4th-order stream, fire led to minimal measurable effects on turbidity, elevated SC, and greater variability of the DO signal. We also assessed water-quality data from 4 sites along the river continuum for a 4-mo period before, during, and after the wildfire. Large overland and debris-flow events in the 1st- and 2nd-order streams resulted in elevated particles (e.g., soil, sediment, rock, ash, plant biomass) and solutes in transport that elevated turbidity and SC and damped the DO signal. We documented less severe postfire effects in the 3rd-order stream probably because of groundwater contributions and a higher stream gradient with a pool-riffle geomorphology. We observed nominal changes in turbidity, strong SC spikes, and strong DO decreases in the 4th-order stream. Streamflow pathways, geomorphology, physiochemical properties, and biogeochemical processes play a central role in the postfire waterquality response along the river continuum. Our findings highlight the importance of collecting water-quality measurements at temporal and spatial scales that effectively capture hydrological dynamics.

Exposures during military operations were complex, but virtually all service members were exposed to high levels of respirable, geogenic dust. Inhalation of other dusts has been shown to be associated with adverse health effects, but the pulmonary toxicity of ambient dust from Iraq has not been previously studied. The relative toxicity of Camp Victory dust was evaluated by comparing it to particulate matter from northern Kuwait, a standard U.S. urban dust, and crystalline silica using a single intratracheal instillation in rats. Lung histology, protein levels, and cell counts were evaluated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid 1–150 d later. The Iraq dust provoked an early significant, acute inflammatory response. However, the level of inflammation in response to the Iraq dust, U.S. urban dust, and Kuwait dust rapidly declined and was nearly at control levels by the end of the study At later times, animals exposed to the Iraq, U.S. urban, or Kuwait dusts showed increased small airway remodeling and emphysema compared to silica-exposed and control animals without evidence of fibrosis or premalignant changes. The severity and persistence of pulmonary toxicity of these three dusts from the Middle East resemble those of a U.S. urban dust and are less than those of silica. Therefore, Iraq dust exposure is not highly toxic, but similar to other poorly soluble low-toxicity dusts.

JO - Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics JF - Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 17 IS - 12 M3 - journal article SP - 860 EP - 866 SN - 15209156 AB - Background: Traditionally, insulin bolus calculations for managing postprandial glucose levels in individuals with type 1 diabetes rely solely on the carbohydrate content of a meal. However, recent studies have reported that other macronutrients in a meal can alter the insulin required for good postprandial control. Specifically, studies have shown that high-fat (HF) meals require more insulin than low-fat (LF) meals with identical carbohydrate content. Our objective was to assess the mechanisms underlying the higher insulin requirement observed in one of these studies.Materials and Methods: We used a combination of previously validated metabolic models to fit data from a study comparing HF and LF dinners with identical carbohydrate content in seven subjects with type 1 diabetes. For each subject and dinner type, we estimated the model parameters representing the time of peak meal-glucose appearance (τ(m)), insulin sensitivity (S(I)), the net hepatic glucose balance, and the glucose effect at zero insulin in four time windows (dinner, early night, late night, and breakfast) and assessed the differences in model parameters via paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Results: During the HF meal, the τ(m) was significantly delayed (mean and standard error [SE]: 102 [14] min vs. 71 [4] min; P = 0.02), and S(I) was significantly lower (7.25 × 10(-4) [1.29 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min vs. 8.72 × 10(-4) [1.08 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min; P = 0.02).Conclusions: In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter S(I).

JO - Planetary & Space Science JF - Planetary & Space Science Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 118 M3 - Article SP - 138 EP - 163 SN - 00320633 AB - We analyze the first color and polarization images of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) taken during two measurement campaigns of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on UTC 2013 April 10 and May 8, when the phase angles of Comet ISON were α ≈13.7° and 12.2°, respectively. We model the particles in the coma using highly irregular agglomerated debris particles. Even though the observations were made over a small range of phase angle, the data still place significant constraints on the material properties of the cometary coma. The different photo-polarimetric responses are indicative of spatial chemical heterogeneity of coma in Comet ISON. For instance, at small projected distances to the nucleus (<500 km), our modeling suggests the cometary particles are composed predominantly of small, highly absorbing particles, such as amorphous carbon and/or organics material heavily irradiated with UV radiation; whereas, at longer projected distances (>1000 km), the refractive index of the particles is consistent with organic matter slightly processed with UV radiation, tholins, Mg−Fe silicates, and/or Mg-rich silicates contaminated with ~10% (by volume) amorphous carbon. The modeling suggests low relative abundances of particles with low material absorption in the visible, i.e., Im( m )≤0.02. Such particles were detected unambiguously in other comets in the vicinity of nucleus through very strong negative polarization near backscattering ( P ≈−6%) and very low positive polarization ( P ≈3–5%) at side scattering. These materials were previously attributed to Mg-rich silicates forming a refractory surface layer on the surface of cometary nuclei ( Zubko et al., 2012 ). The absence of such particles in Comet ISON could imply an absence of such a layer on its nucleus.

JO - Engineering Structures JF - Engineering Structures Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 104 M3 - Article SP - 95 EP - 106 SN - 01410296 AB - During hurricane events, moored barges are at risk of being propelled by high winds and impacting flood protection walls in the vicinity. Cities like New Orleans, Louisiana are at particular risk for such hazards, due to the preponderance of canals and moored barges throughout the city combined with high hurricane risk. Unfortunately, limited information is available to estimate the magnitude of barge impact loads for the design of floodwalls. In this paper, forces associated with hurricane-wind-propelled barge impacts on floodwalls are quantified using high-resolution dynamic finite element simulations. Such simulations account for highly nonlinear material deformation in the impacting barge, nonlinear soil response, and dynamic interaction between the barge, wall, and soil. The paper presents force histories for a variety of representative impact scenarios which can be used directly in dynamic analysis of floodwalls. Additional guidance is provided for employing the force results in static design scenarios.

The long-term sequelae of these injuries have not been carefully examined. We sought to determine the relation between markers of injury severity and the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.Methods and Results: Retrospective cohort study of critically injured US military personnel wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan from February 1, 2002 to February 1, 2011. Patients were then followed until January 18, 2013. Chronic disease outcomes were assessed by International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition codes and causes of death were confirmed by autopsy. From 6011 admissions, records were excluded because of missing data or if they were for an individual's second admission. Patients with a disease diagnosis of interest before the injury date were also excluded, yielding a cohort of 3846 subjects for analysis. After adjustment for other factors, each 5-point increment in the injury severity score was associated with a 6%, 13%, 13%, and 15% increase in incidence rates of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease, respectively. Acute kidney injury was associated with a 66% increase in rates of hypertension and nearly 5-fold increase in rates of chronic kidney disease.Conclusions: In Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the severity of combat injury was associated with the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.

An accurate, quantitative description of the individual contribution of each of these mechanisms may be necessary to develop preventive strategies against bTBI. However, to date, despite numerous experimental and computational studies of bTBI, this question remains elusive. In this study, using a two-dimensional (2D) rat head model, we quantified the contribution of head acceleration to the biomechanical response of brain tissues when exposed to blast waves in a shock tube. We compared brain pressure at the coup, middle, and contre-coup regions between a 2D rat head model capable of simulating all mechanisms (i.e., the all-effects model) and an acceleration-only model. From our simulations, we determined that head acceleration contributed 36^15% of the maximum brain pressure at the coup region, had a negligible effect on the pressure at the middle region, and was responsible 'Corresponding author.

Our findings also demonstrate that the current practice of measuring rat brain pressures close to the center of the brain would record only two-thirds of the maximum pressure observed at the coup region. Therefore, to accurately capture the effects of acceleration in experiments, we recommend placing a pressure sensor near the coup region, especially when investigating the acceleration mechanism using different experimental setups.

JO - BBA - Proteins & Proteomics JF - BBA - Proteins & Proteomics Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 1854 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1809 EP - 1815 SN - 15709639 AB - Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) such as sarin and soman are some of the most toxic chemicals synthesized by man. They exert toxic effects by inactivating acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and bind secondary target protein. Organophosphorus compounds are hemi-substrates for enzymes of the serine hydrolase superfamily. Enzymes can be engineered by amino acid substitution into OP-hydrolyzing variants (bioscavengers) and used as therapeutics. Some enzymes associated with lipoproteins, such as human plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (pPAF-AH), are also inhibited by OPs; these proteins have largely been ignored for engineering purposes because of complex interfacial kinetics and a lack of structural data. We have expressed active human pPAF-AH in bacteria and previously solved the crystal structure of this enzyme with OP adducts. Using these structures as a guide, we created histidine mutations near the active site of pPAF-AH (F322H, W298H, L153H) in an attempt to generate novel OP-hydrolase activity. Wild-type pPAF-AH, L153H, and F322H have essentially no hydrolytic activity against the nerve agents tested. In contrast, the W298H mutant displayed novel somanase activity with a k cat of 5 min − 1 and a K M of 590 μM at pH 7.5. There was no selective preference for hydrolysis of any of the four soman stereoisomers.

Lucas T1 - Hyperelasticity of three-dimensional carbon nanotube sponge controlled by the stiffness of covalent junctions. JO - Carbon JF - Carbon Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 95 M3 - Article SP - 640 EP - 645 SN - 00086223 AB - To expand the applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at macroscale, a heteroatom doping technique has been employed to fabricate isotropic 3-D CNT architectures by inducing elbow-like covalent junctions into multiwalled CNTs. As the junctions modify the topology of each CNT by favoring the stable bends in CNTs, junction stiffness and the consequence of junction-related morphology changes in sponge's hyperelasticity remain largely elusive. In this study, two types of 3-D multiwalled CNT sponges were fabricated by inducing boron-doped or nitrogen-doped covalent junctions into CNTs. Hyperelastic properties of the sponges were experimentally quantified as the functions of CNT morphology. A novel microstructure informed continuum constitutive law was developed specifically for such isotropic CNT sponges with junctions. Analyzing the experimental data with the new theory demonstrated that, for the first time, the effective modulus of boron-doped junctions (∼100 GPa) is higher than that of nitrogen-doped junctions (∼20 GPa), and the junction stiffness is a key factor in regulating the hyperelastic compressive modulus of the material. Theoretical analysis further revealed that increased number of junctions and shorter segments on each individual CNT chain would result in stronger hyperelastic 3-D CNT networks. This study has established a fundamental knowledge base to provide guidance for the future design and fabrication of 3-D CNT macrostructures.

Traumatic events can disrupt healthy threat monitoring, inducing biased and unstable threat-related attention deployment. Recent research suggests that greater attention bias variability, that is, attention fluctuations alternating toward and away from threat, occurs in participants with PTSD relative to healthy comparison subjects who were either exposed or not exposed to traumatic events. The current study extends findings on attention bias variability in PTSD.Method: Previous measurement of attention bias variability was refined by employing a moving average technique. Analyses were conducted across seven independent data sets; in each, data on attention bias variability were collected by using variants of the dot-probe task. Trauma-related and anxiety symptoms were evaluated across samples by using structured psychiatric interviews and widely used self-report questionnaires, as specified for each sample.Results: Analyses revealed consistent evidence of greater attention bias variability in patients with PTSD following various types of traumatic events than in healthy participants, participants with social anxiety disorder, and participants with acute stress disorder. Moreover, threat-related, and not positive, attention bias variability was correlated with PTSD severity.Conclusions: These findings carry possibilities for using attention bias variability as a specific cognitive marker of PTSD and for tailoring protocols for attention bias modification for this disorder.

JO - Cold Regions Science & Technology JF - Cold Regions Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 120 M3 - Article SP - 191 EP - 196 SN - 0165232X AB - Extended Column Tests (ECTs) are used to assess crack initiation and propagation. Previous research shows that tests 90 cm in length may propagate, suggesting instability, while tests 2 m in length may not propagate, suggesting stability, for identical snowpacks. A practical question is: are 90 cm ECTs optimal for assessing stability? To test the added value of 2 m ECTs for stability evaluation, we collected data on 220 ECTs, with 136 side-by-side standard length ECTPs (full propagation indicating instability) followed by 2 m ECTs. We only performed 2 m ECTs after a standard ECT propagated because we assumed 2 m ECTs would not propagate if standard length tests did not. These tests were preceded by an a priori stability assessment. Our results show imbalances for both tests. The ECT had a similar probability of detection (0.88–0.92, POD), i.e. the ability to detect unstable conditions, as in previous studies, but a much lower probability of null events (0.54–0.75, PON), i.e. the ability to detect stable conditions, with variation due to the binary classification of “Fair” stability as stable or unstable. Adding a 2 m test after an ECTP result lowered the POD (0.49–0.58), but substantially raised the PON (0.88–0.98) of the combined tests. The proportion of tests in agreement, i.e. ECTP and 2 m ECTP, increases with decreasing stability. We conclude that an ECTP followed by a 2 m ECTP is a clear red flag, indicating instability. The interpretation of an ECTP followed by a 2 m ECTN/X (no propagation) is not clear. Though this result suggests stability, a high potential for a false stable result means we cannot recommend the 2 m ECT for binary stability assessments.

JO - Cold Regions Science & Technology JF - Cold Regions Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 120 M3 - Article SP - 197 EP - 204 SN - 0165232X AB - The distribution of snow depth in avalanche starting zones exerts a strong influence on avalanche potential and character. Extreme depth changes over short distances are common, especially in wind-affected, above-treeline environments. Snow depth also affects the ease of avalanche triggering. Experience shows that avalanche reduction efforts are often more successful when targeting shallow trigger point areas near deeper slabs with explosives or ski cutting. Our paper explores the use of high-resolution (cm scale) snow depth and snow depth change maps from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data to quantify loading patterns for use in both pre-control planning and in post-control assessment. We present results from a pilot study in three study areas at the Arapahoe Basin ski area in Colorado, USA. A snow-free reference data set was collected in a summer TLS survey. Mapping multiple times during the snow season allowed us to produce time series maps of snow depth and snow depth change at high resolution to explore depth and slab thickness variations due to wind redistribution. We conducted surveys before and after loading events and control work, allowing the exploration of loading patterns, slab thickness, shot and ski cut locations, bed surfaces, entrainment, and avalanche characteristics. We also evaluate the state of TLS for use in operational avalanche control settings.

The prototypical 2D material molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is reported to have a maximum QYof 0.6%, which indicates a considerable defect density. Here we report on an air-stable, solution-based chemical treatment by an organic superacid, which uniformly enhances the photoluminescence and minority carrier lifetime of MoS2 monolayers by more than two orders of magnitude. The treatment eliminates defect-mediated nonradiative recombination, thus resulting in a final QYofmore than 95%, with a longest-observed lifetime of 10.8 0.6 nanoseconds. Our ability to obtain optoelectronic monolayers with near-perfect properties opens the door for the development of highly efficient light-emitting diodes, lasers, and solar cells based on 2D materials.

A full lithium-ion battery of 2.3 volts using such an aqueous electrolyte was demonstrated to cycle up to 1000 times, with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency at both low (0.15 coulomb) and high (4.5 coulombs) discharge and charge rates.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2015/11/17/ VL - 112 IS - 46 M3 - Article SP - E6331 EP - E6338 SN - 00278424 AB - Approximately two thirds of migratory songbirds in eastern North America negotiate the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), where inclement weather coupled with no refueling or resting opportunities can be lethal. However, decisions made when navigating such features and their consequences remain largely unknown due to technological limitations of tracking small animals over large areas. We used automated radio telemetry to track three songbird species (Red-eyed Vireo, Swainson's Thrush, Wood Thrush) from coastal Alabama to the northern Yucatan Peninsula (YP) during fall migration. Detecting songbirds after crossing ~1,000 km of open water allowed us to examine intrinsic (age, wing length, fat) and extrinsic (weather, date) variables shaping departure decisions, arrival at the YP, and crossing times. Large fat reserves and low humidity, indicative of beneficial synoptic weather patterns, favored southward departure across the Gulf. Individuals detected in the YP departed with large fat reserves and later in the fall with profitable winds, and flight durations (mean = 22.4 h) were positively related to wind profit. Age was not related to departure behavior, arrival, or travel time. However, vireos negotiated the GOM differently than thrushes, including different departure decisions, lower probability of detection in the YP, and longer crossing times. Defense of winter territories by thrushes but not vireos and species-specific foraging habits may explain the divergent migratory behaviors. Fat reserves appear extremely important to departure decisions and arrival in the YP. As habitat along the GOM is degraded, birds may be limited in their ability to acquire fat to cross the Gulf.

JO - Journal of Neurotrauma JF - Journal of Neurotrauma Y1 - 2015/11/15/ VL - 32 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 1693 EP - 1721 SN - 08977151 AB - The incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States was 3.5 million cases in 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is a contributing factor in 30.5% of injury-related deaths among civilians. Additionally, since 2000, more than 260,000 service members were diagnosed with TBI, with the vast majority classified as mild or concussive (76%). The objective assessment of TBI via imaging is a critical research gap, both in the military and civilian communities. In 2011, the Department of Defense (DoD) prepared a congressional report summarizing the effectiveness of seven neuroimaging modalities (computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], transcranial Doppler [TCD], positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, electrophysiologic techniques [magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography], and functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to assess the spectrum of TBI from concussion to coma. For this report, neuroimaging experts identified the most relevant peer-reviewed publications and assessed the quality of the literature for each of these imaging technique in the clinical and research settings. Although CT, MRI, and TCD were determined to be the most useful modalities in the clinical setting, no single imaging modality proved sufficient for all patients due to the heterogeneity of TBI. All imaging modalities reviewed demonstrated the potential to emerge as part of future clinical care. This paper describes and updates the results of the DoD report and also expands on the use of angiography in patients with TBI.

The perfect regularity of these events is in stark contrast with the well-known unpredictability of chaos. We explore some consequences of these regularly timed events through experiments using chaotic electronic circuits. First, we show that a feedback loop can be implemented to phase lock the regularly timed events to a periodic external signal. In this arrangement the external signal regulates the timing of the chaotic signal but does not strictly lock its phase. That is, phase slips of the chaotic oscillation persist without disturbing timing of the regular events. Second, we couple the regularly timed events of one chaotic oscillator to those of another. A state of synchronization is observed where the oscillators exhibit synchronized regular events while their chaotic amplitudes and phases evolve independently. Finally, we add additional coupling to synchronize the amplitudes, as well, however in the opposite direction illustrating the independence of the amplitudes from the regularly timed events.

Herein, we demonstrate that three Zr6-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, UiO-67, UiO-67-NH2, and UiO-67-N(Me)2, are selective and highly active catalysts for the hydrolysis of VX. Utilizing UiO-67, UiO-67-NH2, and UiO-67-N(Me)2 in a pH 10 buffered solution of N-ethylmorpholine, selective hydrolysis of the P-S bond in VX was observed. In addition, UiO-67-N(Me)2 was found to catalyze VX hydrolysis with an initial half-life of 1.8 min. This half-life is nearly 3 orders of magnitude shorter than that of the only other MOF tested to date for hydrolysis of VX and rivals the activity of the best nonenzymatic materials. Hydrolysis utilizing Zr-based MOFs is also selective and facile in the absence of pH 10 buffer (just water) and for the destruction of the toxic byproduct EA-2192.

JO - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry JF - Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Y1 - 2015/11/15/ VL - 757 M3 - Article SP - 150 EP - 158 SN - 15726657 AB - The study of graphene nanosheet (GNS)–gold nanoparticle (AuNP)–carbon paste electrode (GNS–AuNP–CPE) as an electrochemical sensor for the determination of rivastigmine (RIV) in pharmaceuticals formulations, blood serum, and urine samples is presented. The GNS–AuNP composite is prepared by in situ simultaneous reduction of graphene oxide and chloroauric acid using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The GNS–AuNP composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical characterization of the GNS–AuNP–CPE electrode surface was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronocoulometry, and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. This study shows that oxidation of rivastigmine is facilitated at the GNS–AuNP–CPE electrode and remarkably increase in current compared to the bare electrode due to enhanced adsorption of the former on electrode surface. Under the optimized conditions, the peak current (I p ) is found to be proportional to the RIV concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10 –7– 6.0 × 10 − 4 M with a detection limit of 5.3 × 10 − 8 M. The proposed sensor shows a very high level of sensitivity, selectivity, and a very good reproducibility for RIV determination. A good recovery level obtained for real samples suggests practical utility of the GNS–AuNP–CPE as an effective and reliable electrochemical sensor for RIV detection.

JO - Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry JF - Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Y1 - 2015/11/15/ VL - 23 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 7264 EP - 7273 SN - 09680896 AB - The seven antigenically distinct serotypes (A–G) of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) are responsible for the deadly disease botulism. BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A) exerts its lethal action by cleaving the SNARE protein SNAP-25, leading to inhibition of neurotransmitter release, flaccid paralysis and autonomic dysfunction. BoNTs are dichain proteins consisting of a ∼100 kDa heavy chain and a ∼50 kDa light chain; the former is responsible for neurospecific binding, internalization and translocation, and the latter for cleavage of neuronal SNARE proteins. Because of their extreme toxicity and history of weaponization, the BoNTs are regarded as potential biowarfare/bioterrorism agents. No post-symptomatic therapeutic interventions are available for BoNT intoxication other than intensive care; therefore it is imperative to develop specific antidotes against this neurotoxin. To this end, a cyclic peptide inhibitor (CPI-1) was evaluated in a FRET assay for its ability to inhibit BoNT/A light chain (Balc). CPI was found to be highly potent, exhibiting a K i of 12.3 nM with full-length Balc448 and 39.2 nM using a truncated crystallizable form of the light chain (Balc424). Cocrystallization studies revealed that in the Balc424–CPI-1 complex, the inhibitor adopts a helical conformation, occupies a high percentage of the active site cavity and interacts in an amphipathic manner with critical active site residues. The data suggest that CPI-1 prevents SNAP-25 from accessing the Balc active site by blocking both the substrate binding path at the surface and the Zn 2+ binding region involved in catalysis. This differs from linear peptide inhibitors described to date which block only the latter.

Quantification of Orowan strengthening from these dispersoids requires a reliable measurement of the impurity concentration. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to quantify the nitrogen impurity concentration using a 14 N ion implanted standard. An analytical approach is devised to determine the nitrogen concentration of an aluminum alloy and composite based on SIMS measurements. Results are compared to the measurements carried out by gas fusion analysis. An increase in nitrogen concentration was observed with an increase in cryomilling time up to 72 h. The nitrogen concentration varied from 1.64±0.17 at% (0.80±0.08 wt%) to 19.12±1.10 at% (13.17±0.71 wt%) for the 8 h and 72 h cryomilled nanocrystalline AA5083, respectively. Assuming that all nitrogen reacts to form dispersoids, the nitrogen concentration determined was used to calculate the volume and weight fractions of dispersoids, which in turn was used to estimate the strengthening contribution via Orowan strengthening. Orowan strengthening was calculated using dispersoids of 3, 9 and 15 nm. The range of Orowan strengthening contribution was estimated, in MPa, to be from 7.69±0.78 to 3.03±0.31 for the 8 h nanocrystalline AA5083 sample, and 154.97±10.29 to 61.09±4.06 for the 72 h nanocrystalline AA5083 sample.

The epitope of interest is synthesized as a polypeptide, with a detection biotin tag and a strategically placed azide (or alkyne) presenting amino acid. This synthetic epitope (SynEp) is incubated with a library of complementary alkyne or azide presenting peptides. Library elements that bind the SynEp in the correct orientation undergo the Huisgen cycloaddition, and are covalently linked to the SynEp. Hit peptides are tested against the full-length protein to identify the best binder. We describe development of epitope-targeted linear or macrocycle peptide ligands against 12 different diagnostic or therapeutic analytes. The general epitope targeting capability for these low molecular weight synthetic ligands enables a range of therapeutic and diagnostic applications, similar to those of monoclonal antibodies.

Human performance optimization metrics: consensus findings, gaps, and recommendations for future research. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S221-S245, 2015-Human performance optimization (HPO) is defined as “the process of applying knowledge, skills and emerging technologies to improve and preserve the capabilities of military members, and organizations to execute essential tasks." The lack of consensus for operationally relevant and standardized metrics that meet joint military requirements has been identified as the single most important gap for research and application of HPO. In 2013, the Consortium for Health and Military Performance hosted a meeting to develop a toolkit of standardized HPO metrics for use in military and civilian research, and potentially for field applications by commanders, units, and organizations. Performance was considered from a holistic perspective as being influenced by various behaviors and barriers. To accomplish the goal of developing a standardized toolkit, key metrics were identified and evaluated across a spectrum of domains that contribute to HPO: physical performance, nutritional status, psychological status, cognitive performance, environmental challenges, sleep, and pain. These domains were chosen based on relevant data with regard to performance enhancers and degraders. The specific objectives at this meeting were to (a) identify and evaluate current metrics for assessing human performance within selected domains; (b) prioritize metrics within each domain to establish a human performance assessment toolkit; and (c) identify scientific gaps and the needed research to more effectively assess human performance across domains. This article provides of a summary of 150 total HPO metrics across multiple domains that can be used as a starting point-the beginning of an HPO toolkit: physical fitness (29 metrics), nutrition (24 metrics), psychological status (36 metrics), cognitive performance (35 metrics), environment (12 metrics), sleep (9 metrics), and pain (5 metrics). These metrics can be particularly valuable as the military emphasizes a renewed interest in Human Dimension efforts, and leverages science, resources, programs, and policies to optimize the performance capacities of all Service members.

Executive summary from the National Strength and Conditioning Association's second Blue Ribbon Panel on military physical readiness: Military physical performance testing. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S 216-S220, 2015-The National Strength and Conditioning Association's tactical strength and conditioning program sponsored the second Blue Ribbon Panel on military physical readiness: military physical performance testing, April 18-19, 2013, Norfolk, VA. This meeting brought together a total of 20 subject matter experts (SMEs) from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and academia representing practitioners, operators, researchers, and policy advisors to discuss the current state of physical performance testing across the Armed Services. The SME panel initially rated 9 common military tasks (jumping over obstacles, moving with agility, carrying heavy loads, dragging heavy loads, running long distances, moving quickly over short distances, climbing over obstacles, lifting heavy objects, loading equipment) by the degree to which health-related fitness components (e.g., aerobic fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition) and skill-related fitness components (e.g., muscular power, agility, balance, coordination, speed, and reaction time) were required to accomplish these tasks. A scale from 1 to 10 (10 being highest) was used. Muscular strength, power, and endurance received the highest rating scores. Panel consensus concluded that (a) selected fitness components (particularly for skill-related fitness components) are currently not being assessed by the military; (b) field-expedient options to measure both health-based and skill-based fitness components are currently available; and (c) 95% of the panel concurred that all services should consider a tier II test focused on both health-related and skill-related fitness components based on occupational, functional, and tactical military performance requirements.

Hormonal responses to active and passive recovery after load carriage. J Strength Cond Res 29(11 S): S149-S153, 201 5-Military operations often induce fatigue resulting from load carriage. Recovery promotes military readiness. This study investigated the acute effects of AR vs. PR after load carriage on maximal isometric leg extension force (MVC) and serum hormonal concentrations. Male reservists (27 ± 3 years, 180 ± 7 cm, 74 ± 1 1 kg, Vo2max 64 ± 9 ml-kg~1 -min-1) completed PR (n = 8) or AR (n = 8) after 50 minutes of loaded (1 6 kg) uphill (gradient 4.0%) treadmill marching at individual anaerobic threshold. No differences were observed between groups in relative changes in MVC during the marching loading, after AR or PR or the next morning. Significant differences in relative responses to AR and PR postmarching loading were observed in serum testosterone (T), cortisol, and sex-hormone binding globulin immediately post AR and PR; however the next morning, all serum hormone concentrations had returned to normal. This study did not reveal any significant differences between the effects of AR and PR after an hour-long marching protocol at approximately anaerobic threshold on MVC or serum hormones the morning after the experimental marching protocol. Thus, based on the variable measured in this study, marching performed by physically fit army reservists at an intensity at or below anaerobic threshold may not necessitate specialized recovery protocols.

Biomechanics of load Carriage-Historical perspectives and recent insights. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S 129 -S133, 2015-Loads carried by the warfighter have increased substantially throughout recorded history, with the typical U.S. ground soldier carrying external loads averaging 45 kg during operations in Afghanistan. Incidence of disability in the U.S. Army has also increased sixfold since the 1980s, predominantly driven by increases in musculoskeletal injuries, with load carriage implicated as a possible mechanism. This article will provide a brief overview of the biomechanics of load carriage and will provide some recent insights into how the stress of the loads carried by military personnel can affect the musculoskeletal system. Studies into the biomechanics of load carriage have documented motion-related differences such as increased step rate, decreased stride length, and more trunk lean with increases in pack-borne loads. However, there is a paucity of literature on the relationship between load carriage and biomechanical mechanisms of overuse injury. Findings of recent studies will be presented, which add mechanistic information to increased stresses on the lower extremity. This was particularly true at the knee, where in one study, peak knee extension moment increased 115% when carrying a 55 kg load (0.87 ± 0.16 N rrvkg^1) vs. no external load (0.40 ± 0.13 N m k g ~ 1). Efforts to model injury mechanisms require continued biomechanical measurements in humans while carrying occupationally relevant loads to be validated. Specifically, imaging technologies (e.g., bone geometry scans) should be incorporated to produce higher fidelity model of the stresses and strains experienced by the load carrier. In addition to laboratory-based biomechanics, data are needed to further explore the mechanistic relationship between load magnitude and injury; to this end, wearable sensors should continue to be exploited to accurately quantify biomechanical stresses related to load carriage in the field.

Physical training strategies for military women's performance optimization in combat-centric occupations. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S101 —S106, 2015-The physiological differences, particularly of upper-body strength and power, between women and men, and the rigors of combat-centric occupational demands would seem to place women at a significant disadvantage, as the U.S. military opens up previously closed combat-arms military occupational specialties (MOSs) to women. This inherent disadvantage can be significantly mitigated by implementing effective and comprehensive physical training (PT) regimens for women targeting those fitness components most critical for those tasks considered most essential for solider warfighting duties (i.e., strength and power). Regrettably, the military historical and legacy overemphasis on aerobic fitness and on “field expediency" as the major criteria for implementing training have limited the extent to which the military has fully operationalized state-of-the-science PT policies. This continued legacy approach could be problematic regarding fully enhancing women's abilities to perform physically demanding combat-centric occupations and could place the successful integration of women into ground combat MOSs at significant risk. Seminal studies from the literature indicate that (a) a minimum of 6 months of periodized combined resistance/endurance training preparedness is recommended for untrained women considering entering combat-arms MOS training; (b) any comprehensive PT program should incorporate and emphasize progressive load carriage training; (c) a greater emphasis on upper body on strength/power development in military women is needed; (d) heavy resistance training in the range of 3-8 repetition maximum sets should be incorporated into training programs to target type II motor units and muscle fibers (those fibers that produce the most force and have the greatest capacity to hypertrophy); (e) low-volume, highintensity interval training should be considered as a time-efficient training method to improve aerobic fitness while protecting against lower-body musculoskeletal injuries; (f) flexible nonlinear periodized programs should be considered to best accommodate the unpredictability and operational functional needs of the military training environment; and (g) serious consideration should be given to revamping the manner in which the military conducts physical readiness training, with a departure from “field expediency” as the major criteria for determining PT policies. With an increased emphasis on the human dimension of soldiering and concerted strategic, operational, and tactical efforts to maximize individual physical readiness and performance, the science of training physiology exists to leverage and better physically prepare women as they enter more combat-centric occupations.

Physical training, fitness, and injuries: lessons learned from military studies. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S ): S 5 7 -S 6 4 , 2015-Injuries are the leading cause of medical encounters across the U.S. military services resulting in more than 2.0 million clinic visits per year. Almost 50% of military service members experience an injury each year and half of those injuries are caused by physical training (PT), exercise, or sports. To prevent a problem as large and complex as injuries in the military requires a systematic approach. Several key questions must be answered to effectively address a problem such as injuries: (1) how big is the problem? (2) what are the causes and risk factors for the problem? (3) do modifiable risk factors for the problem exist? and (4) what works to prevent the problem? The article discusses leading causes of injuries for U.S. Army populations. It then explores key risk factors for exercise and training-related injuries: (1) the amounts of training, (2) types of training activities, (3) participants level of fitness, and (4) personal health risk behaviors. The article concludes with a review of prevention strategies illustrating interventions that have been shown to be effective, and others that are not effective. The data presented suggest that PT and exercise cause injuries and that modifications of training are most likely to prevent the problem.

J Strength Cond Res 29(11 S): S40-S45, 2015-Militaries from around the globe have predominantly used endurance training as their primary mode of aerobic physical conditioning, with historical emphasis placed on the long distance run. In contrast to this traditional exercise approach to training, interval training is characterized by brief, intermittent bouts of intense exercise, separated by periods of lower intensity exercise or rest for recovery. Although hardly a novel concept, research over the past decade has shed new light on the potency of interval training to elicit physiological adaptations in a time-efficient manner. This work has largely focused on the benefits of low-volume interval training, which involves a relatively small total amount of exercise, as compared with the traditional high-volume approach to training historically favored by militaries. Studies that have directly compared interval and moderate-intensity continuous training have shown similar improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and the capacity for aerobic energy metabolism, despite large differences in total exercise and training time commitment. Interval training can also be applied in a calisthenics manner to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and strength, and this approach could easily be incorporated into a military conditioning environment. Although interval training can elicit physiological changes in men and women, the potential for sex-specific adaptations in the adaptive response to interval training warrants further investigation. Additional work is needed to clarify adaptations occurring over the longer term; however, interval training deserves consideration from a military applicability standpoint as a timeefficient training strategy to enhance soldier health and performance. There is value for military leaders in identifying strategies that reduce the time required for exercise, but nonetheless provide an effective training stimulus.

International research consensus: Identifying military research priorities and gaps. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S 24-S 27, 2015 -A multidisciplinary survey was administered to military performance researchers attending the Third International Conference on Soldier Physical Performance to obtain their opinions of the priority levels and importance of research topics related to soldier health and determinants of soldier physical performance. Respondents included 140 individuals from 22 different countries, of which 96% had at least a graduate degree and 79% were associated with a military organization. The top 5 highest importance/priority research topics were (a) physical demands in operational environments, (b) measuring physical performance/fitness, (c) musculoskeletal injury mitigation programs, (d) physical employment standards, and (e) physical strength-training programs. Of what individuals thought were their most important topics, 50% reported these were not currently being researched because of higher priorities, insufficient funding, or the lack of scientific expertise. A theme analysis of research topic areas that were important and not being researched indicated that physical employment standards and physical training studies related to soldiers' health and performance are knowledge gaps. Although these experienced researchers had diverse backgrounds and were working on a wide array of research topics, there was a surprisingly clear consensus on what they thought were important topics that needed to be addressed in common between countries or militaries.

Perspectives on aerobic and strength influences on military physical readiness: Report of an international military physiology roundtable. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S10-S23, 2015-Physical fitness training of military recruits is an enduring focus of armies. This is important for safe and effective performance of general tasks that anyone may have to perform in a military setting as well as preparation for more specialized training in specific job specialties. Decades of studies on occupationally specific physical requirements have characterized the dual aerobic and strength demands of typical military tasks; however, scientifically founded strategies to prepare recruits with a good mix of these 2 physiologically opposing capabilities have not been well established. High levels of aerobic training can compromise resistance training gains and increase injury rates. Resistance training requires a greater commitment of time and resources as well as a greater understanding of the science to produce true strength gains that may be beneficial to military performance. These are critical issues for modern armies with increased demands for well-prepared soldiers and fewer injury losses. The actual physical requirements tied to metrics of success in military jobs are also under renewed examination as women are increasingly integrated into military jobs previously performed only by men. At the third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance, a roundtable of 10 physiologists with military expertise presented comparative perspectives on aerobic and strength training. These topics included the physiological basis of training benefits, how to train effectively, how to measure training effectiveness, considerations for the integration of women, and the big perspective. Key discussion points centered on (a) the significance of findings from research on integrated training, (b) strategies for effective strength development, and (c) injury reduction in training as well as the benefits of improved fitness to injury reduction across the force.

Our investigations are aimed at the detection of nitrogen-rich explosives contained in improvised explosive devices. We use the term “clutter” to refer to any non-explosive materials with which the interrogating radiation may interact between source and detector. To deal with the many target types and clutter configurations that may be encountered in the field, the use of “artificial templates” is proposed. The MCNP code was used to simulate 14.1 MeV neutron source beams incident on one type of target containing various clutter and sample materials. Signatures due to inelastic-scatter and prompt-capture gamma rays from hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen and two scattered neutron signatures were considered. Targets containing explosive materials in the presence of clutter were able to be identified from targets that contained only non-explosive (“inert”) materials. This study demonstrates that a finite number of artificial templates is sufficient for IED detection with fairly good sensitivity and specificity.

Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage due to this ease of manipulating their excellent dielectric properties and their high volume resistivity. A series of structured fullerene (C60) polymer nanocomposites were assembled using the thiol-ene click reaction, between alkyl thiols and allyl functionalized C60 derivatives. The resulting high-density C60-urethane-thiol-ene (C60-Thiol-Ene) networks possessed excellent mechanical properties. These novel networks were characterized using standard techniques, including infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The dielectric spectra for the prepared samples were determined over a broad frequency range at room temperature using a broadband dielectric spectrometer and a semiconductor characterization system. The changes in thermo-mechanical and electrical properties of these novel fullerene-thiol-ene composite films were measured as a function of the C60 content, and samples characterized by high dielectric permittivity and low dielectric loss were produced. In this process, variations in chemical composition of the networks were correlated to performance characteristics.

Gamma rays were detected with the GErmanium Array for Neutron Induced Excitations spectrometer, a Compton-suppressed array of 18 HPGe detectors. Incident neutron energies were determined by the time-of-flight technique and used to obtain y-ray excitation functions for the purpose of identifying γ rays by reaction channel. Analysis of the singles γ-ray spectrum gated on the neutron energy range 10 ≤ En ≤ 25 MeV resulted in five transitions and one level added to the 186Re level scheme. The additions include the placement of three y rays at 266.7, 381.2, and 647.7 keV which have been identified as feeding the 2.0 x 105 yr, Jπ = (8+) isomer and yield an improved value of 148.2(5) keV for the isomer energy. These transitions may have astrophysical implications related to the use of the Re-Os cosmochronometer.

JO - Pathogens & Disease JF - Pathogens & Disease Y1 - 2015/11// VL - 73 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 2049632X AB - Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis is a highly virulent intracellular bacterial pathogen, causing the disease tularemia. However, a safe and effective vaccine for routine application against F. tularensis has not yet been developed. We have recently constructed the deletion mutants for the DsbA homolog protein (ΔdsbA/FSC200) and a hypothetical protein IglH (ΔiglH/FSC200) in the type B F. tularensis subsp. holarctica FSC200 strain, which exerted different protection capacity against parental virulent strain. In this study, we further investigated the immunological correlates for these different levels of protection provided by ΔdsbA/FSC200 and ΔiglH/FSC200 mutants. Our results show that ΔdsbA/FSC200 mutant, but not ΔiglH/FSC200 mutant, induces an early innate inflammatory response leading to strong Th1-like antibody response. Furthermore, vaccination with ΔdsbA/FSC200 mutant, but not with ΔiglH/FSC200, elicited protection against the subsequent challenge with type A SCHU S4 strain in mice. An immunoproteomic approach was used to map a spectrum of antigens targeted by Th1-like specific antibodies, and more than 80 bacterial antigens, including novel ones, were identified. Comparison of tularemic antigens recognized by the ΔdsbA/FSC200 post-vaccination and the SCHU S4 post-challenge sera then revealed the existence of 22 novel SCHU S4 specific antibody clones.

This article applies two systems thinking methodologies in a uniquely integrated fashion to provide an in-depth review and compelling interpretation of the revised defense acquisition system as put forth in January 7, 2015 DoDI 5000.02. Changes from the previous defense acquisition system are significant and may be cause for some cautious optimism in the United States. This article describes how the architects of the revised defense acquisition system have increased emphasis on systems engineering activities applied early in the lifecycle so that meaningful trade-offs between capability requirements and lifecycle costs can be explored as requirements are being written to ensure realistic program baselines are established such that associated lifecycle costs will likely fit within future budgets. Expressed as emerging systems engineering research questions, this article identifies several gaps that are likely to emerge as the defense acquisition community attempts to execute the new acquisition system.

We assessed coagulation using both standard clinical tests and thrombelastography (TEG) in 12 men who performed a LBNP and BL protocol in a randomized order. LBNP consisted of 5-min stages at 0, -15, -30, and -45 mmHg of suction. BL included 5 min at baseline and following three stages of 333 ml of blood removal (up to 1,000 ml total). Arterial blood draws were performed at baseline and after the last stage of each protocol. We found that LBNP to -45 mmHg is a greater central hypovolemic stimulus versus BL; therefore, the coagulation markers were plotted against central venous pressure (CVP) to obtain stimulus-response relationships using the linear regression line slopes for both protocols. Paired t-tests were used to determine whether the slopes of these regression lines fell on similar trajectories for each protocol. Mean regression line slopes for coagulation markers versus CVP fell on similar trajectories during both protocols, except for TEG α° angle (-0.42 ± 0.96 during LBNP vs. -2.41 ± 1.13°/mmHg during BL; P | 0.05). During both LBNP and BL, coagulation was accelerated as evidenced by shortened R-times (LBNP, 9.9 ± 2.4 to 6.2 ± 1.1; BL, 8.7 ± 1.3 to 6.4 ± 0.4 min; both P < 0.05). Our results indicate that LBNP models the general changes in coagulation markers observed during BL.

It also includes simulation of diurnally varying water temperature, calculated as a function of air temperature, shading, and streamflow using heat budget equations. For this study, local summer air temperature and critical low flows were treated stochastically in the model. Parameterization of these inputs was based on analysis of multiple global climate model (GCM) projections for the study area corresponding to a 2060 planning horizon. Continuous probability distribution functions were fitted to ensemble GCM data sets grouped according to two different greenhouse gas emission scenarios (best case, worst case). Climate projections were translated into summer low flows using a simple empirical regression hydrologic model that was developed on the basis of observed historical data. Model outputs are provided probabilistically, helping to quantify levels of climate model consensus and capturing a portion of the large uncertainty associated with the forecasts. This type of framework is valuable in its support of planning decision making. Results specific to this study indicate that, whereas reach dissolved oxygen and algae biomass levels are relatively insensitive to projected climate change, simulated stream water temperature changes could have an adverse effect on native salmon populations in the region. The demonstrated methods are believed to be generally transferable to other river water quality studies and are recommended as an option for planning studies.

JO - Journal of the American Academy of Audiology JF - Journal of the American Academy of Audiology Y1 - 2015/11//Nov/Dec2015 VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 838 EP - 855 SN - 10500545 AB - Background: Frequency-lowering (FL) algorithms are an alternative method of providing access to high- frequency speech cues. There is currently a lack of independent research addressing: (1) what functional, measureable benefits FL provides; (2) which, if any, FL algorithm provides the maximum benefit, (3) how to clinically program algorithms, and (4) how to verify algorithm settings. Purpose: Two experiments were included in this study. The purpose of Experiment 1 was to (1) deter mine if a commercially available nonlinear frequency compression (NLFC) algorithm provides benefit as measured by improved speech recognition in noise when fit and verified using standard clinical procedures; and (2) evaluate the impact of acclimatization. The purpose of Experiment 2 was to (1) evaluate the benefit of using enhanced verification procedures to systematically determine the optimal application of a prototype NLFC algorithm, and (2) determine if the optimized prototype NLFC settings provide benefit as measured by improved speech recognition in quiet and in noise. Research Design: A single-blind, within-participant repeated measures design in which participants served as their own controls. Study Sample: Experiment 1 included 26 participants with a mean age of 68.3 yr and Experiment 2 included 37 participants with a mean age of 68.8 yr. Participants were recruited from the Audiology and Speech Pathology Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Intervention: Participants in Experiment 1 wore bilateral commercially available hearing aids fit using standard clinical procedures and clinician expertise. Participants in Experiment 2 wore a single prototype hearing aid for which FL settings were systematically examined to determine the optimum application. In each experiment, FL-On versus FL-Off settings were examined in a variety of listening situations to determine benefit and possible implications. Data Collection and Analysis: In Experiment 1, speech recognition measures using the QuickSIN and Modified Rhyme Test stimuli were obtained at initial bilateral fitting and 3-5 weeks later during a follow-up visit. In Experiment 2, Modified Rhyme Test, /se/, /fa/ consonant discrimination task, and dual-task cognitive load speech recognition performance measures were conducted. Participants in Experiment 2 received four different systematic hearing aid programs during an initial visit and speech recognition data were collected over 2-3 follow-up sessions. Results: Some adults with hearing loss obtained small-to-moderate benefits from implementation of FL, while others maintained performance without detriment in both experiments. There was no significant difference among FL-On settings systematically obtained in Experiment 2. There was a modest but significant age effect in listeners of both experiments that indicated older listeners (>65 yr) might benefit more on average from FL than younger listeners. In addition, there were reliable improvements in the intelligibility of the phonemes /r)/ and /b/ for both groups, and /3/ for older listeners from the FL in both experiments. Conclusions: Although the optimum settings, application, and benefits of FL remain unclear at this time, there does not seem to be degradation in listener performance when FL is activated. The benefits of FL should be explored in older adult (>65 yr) listeners, as they tended to benefit more from FL applications.

These alignment changes (doglegs) are proposed to allow ships to reach deeper water in less distance, with reduced dredging costs. The Channel Analysis and Design Evaluation Tool (CADET) was used to predict the underkeel clearance and annual days of accessibility. The clearance and accessibility results were calculated for each channel option and include vertical ship motion allowances based on the wave-induced coupled heave, roll, and pitch. This provides a risk-based method of determining channel project depth based on two ship loading conditions for the three channel alignment options.

JO - Synthetic Metals JF - Synthetic Metals Y1 - 2015/11// VL - 209 M3 - Article SP - 128 EP - 134 SN - 03796779 AB - The temperature dependence and electronic transport properties of 1, 3, 5- tri (1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) phenyl (TPBI) and 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq) electron transporting layers (ETL) have been investigated as a function of cesium carbonate (Cs 2 CO 3 ) doping for organic light emitting devices. The current-voltage and light emission characteristics were measured as a function of the Cs 2 CO 3 doped ETL thickness at both room temperature and cryogenic (10–300 K). The current density (J) for the Alq:Cs 2 CO 3 ETL device increased for an ETL thickness between 100 and 300 Å, with no further increase in the ETL beyond 300 Å, indicating an electron injection limited contact. Conversely, the J for the TPBI:Cs 2 CO 3 ETL device did not saturate for increasing ETL thicknesses confirming the TPBI:Cs 2 CO 3 devices have a near-ohmic cathode contact. The correlation of current density–voltage ( J – V ) and luminance-voltage ( L – V ) for both Alq:Cs 2 CO 3 and TPBI:Cs 2 CO 3 devices were studied over temperatures from 10 to 300 K. Both increased with increasing temperature; however, Cs 2 CO 3 -doped TPBI devices were more effective than Cs 2 CO 3 -doped Alq devices. The observed differences between Alq and TPBI may be attributed to the exposed nitrogen electron pair in the electronic structure.

The overarching purpose of the presented study was to explore available tools for integrating intelligent tutoring communications in game-based learning platforms and to examine theory-based techniques for delivering explicit feedback in such environments. The primary tool influencing the design of this research was the open-source Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT), a modular domain-independent architecture that provides the tools and methods to author, deliver, and evaluate intelligent tutoring technologies within any instructional domain. Influenced by research surrounding social cognitive theory and cognitive load theory, the resulting experiment tested varying approaches for utilizing an Embodied Pedagogical Agent (EPA) to function as a tutor during interaction in a game-based training environment. Conditions were authored to assess the tradeoffs between embedding an EPA directly in a game, embedding an EPA in GIFT’s browser-based Tutor–User Interface (TUI), or using audio prompts alone with no social grounding. The resulting data supported the application of using an EPA embedded in GIFT’s TUI to provide explicit feedback during a game-based learning event. Analyses revealed conditions with an EPA situated in the TUI to be as effective as embedding the agent directly in the game environment.

The molds are fabricated using a single patterning step and electroplating. The process of casting structured PDMS films is simpler and cheaper than alternatives based on deep reactive ion etching or laser roughening of bulk silicone. Texture imparted to the pillars from the mold walls renders the PDMS films superhydrophobic, with the contact angle/hysteresis of the most non-wetting surfaces measuring 164°/9° and 158°/10° for surfaces with and without application of a low surface energy coating. The usefulness of patterned PDMS films as a “self-cleaning” solar cell module covering is demonstrated and other applications are discussed.

In contrast, when thepositively charged choline was incorporated, charge permeability decreasedand COE uptake was similar to that of unmodified bilayers. The incorporationof cholesterol at low concentrations within the phospholipid membraneswas shown to enhance the COE’s effectiveness at increasingmembrane charge permeability without increasing the COE concentrationin the bilayer. Higher concentrations of cholesterol reduce membranefluidity and membrane charge permeability. Collectively, these resultsdemonstrate that changes in phospholipid membrane charge permeabilityupon COE incorporation depend not only on the concentration in themembrane but also on interactions with the phospholipid bilayer andother additives present in the membranes. This approach of manipulatingthe properties of phospholipid membranes to understand COE interactionsis applicable to understanding the behavior of a wide range of moleculesthat impart useful properties to phospholipid membranes.

JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2015/10/25/Oct2015 Part 3 VL - 529 M3 - Article SP - 723 EP - 736 SN - 00221694 AB - Summary Accurate estimation of snowpack is vital in many parts of the world for both water management and flood prediction. Temperature-index (TI) snowmelt models are commonly used for this purpose due to their simplicity and low data requirements. Although TI models work well within lumped watershed models, their reliance on air temperature (and potentially an assumed lapse rate) as the only external driver of snowmelt limits their ability to accurately simulate the spatial distribution of snowpack and thus the timing of snowmelt. This limitation significantly reduces the utility of the TI approach in distributed hydrologic models because spatial variability within the watershed, including snowpack and snowmelt, is usually the primary reason for selecting a distributed model. In this paper, a new radiation-derived temperature index (RTI) approach is presented that uses a spatially-varying proxy temperature in place of air temperature within the TI model of the fully-distributed Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) watershed model. The RTI is derived from a radiation balance and includes spatial heterogeneity in both shortwave and longwave radiation. Thus, the RTI accounts for more local variation in the available energy than air temperature alone. The RTI model in GSSHA is tested at the Senator Beck basin in southwestern Colorado where observations for snow water equivalent (SWE) and LandSat-derived images of snow cover area (SCA) are available. The TI and RTI approaches produce similar SWE estimates at two non-forested and relatively flat sites with SWE observations. However, the two models can produce very different SWE values at sites with forests or topographic slopes, which leads to significant differences in the basin-wide SWE values of the two models. Furthermore, the RTI model provides better basin-wide SCA estimates than the TI model in 75% of the LandSat images analyzed.

JO - Physical Review Letters JF - Physical Review Letters Y1 - 2015/10/23/ VL - 115 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 SN - 00319007 AB - Recent observations of planar defects in boron carbide have been shown to deviate from perfect mirror symmetry and are referred to as "asymmetric twins." Here, we demonstrate that these asymmetric twins are really phase boundaries that form in stoichiometric B4C (i.e., B12C3) but not in B13C2. TEM observations and ab initio simulations have been coupled to show that these planar defects result from an interplay of stoichiometry, atomic positioning, icosahedral twinning, and structural hierarchy. The composition of icosahedra in B4C is B11C and translation of the carbon atom from a polar to equatorial site leads to a shift in bonding and a slight distortion of the lattice. No such distortion is observed in boron-rich B13C2 because the icosahedra do not contain carbon. Implications for tailoring boron carbide with stoichiometry and extrapolations to other hierarchical crystalline materials are discussed.

However, nanotoxicology has challenged the suitability of the mass concentration dose metric. Alternative metrics often discussed in the literature include particle number, surface area, and ion release (kinetics, equilibrium). It is unlikely that any single metric is universally applicable to all types of nanoparticles. However, determining the optimal metric for a specific type of nanoparticle requires novel studies to generate supportive data and employ methods to compensate for current analytical capability gaps. This investigation generated acute toxicity data for two standard species (Ceriodaphnia dubia, Pimephales promelas) exposed to five sizes (10, 20, 30, 60, 100 nm) of monodispersed citrate- and polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles. Particles were sized by various techniques to populate available models for expressing the particle number, surface area, and dissolved fraction. Results indicate that the acute toxicity of the tested silver nanoparticles is best expressed by ion release, and is relatable to total exposed surface area. Particle number was not relatable to the observed acute silver nanoparticle effects.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2015/10/20/ VL - 54 IS - 41 M3 - Article SP - 6423 EP - 6433 SN - 00062960 AB - The enzyme organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA), from Alteromonas sp. JD6.5, has been shown to rapidly catalyze the hydrolysis of a number of toxic organophosphorus compounds, including several G-type chemical nerve agents. The enzyme was cloned into Escherichia coli and can be produced up to approximately 50% of cellular protein. There have been no previous reports of OPAA activity on VR {Russian VX, O-isobutyl S-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate}, and our studies reported here show that wild-type OPAA has poor catalytic efficacy toward VR. However, via application of a structurally aided protein engineering approach, significant improvements in catalytic efficiency were realized via optimization of the small pocket within the OPAA’s substrate-binding site. This optimization involved alterations at only three amino acid sites resulting in a 30-fold increase in catalytic efficiency toward racemic VR, with a strong stereospecificity toward the P(+) enantiomer. X-ray structures of this mutant as well as one of its predecessors provide potential structural rationales for their effect on the OPAA active site. Additionally, a fourth mutation at a site near the small pocket was found to relax the stereospecificity of the OPAA enzyme. Thus, it allows the altered enzyme to effectively process both VR enantiomers and should be a useful genetic background in which to seek further improvements in OPAA VR activity.

JO - Geochemical Transactions JF - Geochemical Transactions Y1 - 2015/10/16/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 14674866 AB - Background: Manganese-oxides are one of the most important minerals in soil due to their widespread distribution and high reactivity. Despite their invaluable role in cycling many redox sensitive elements, numerous unknowns remain about the reactivity of different manganese-oxide minerals under varying conditions in natural systems. By altering temperature, pH, and concentration of arsenite we were able to determine how manganese-oxide reactivity changes with simulated environmental conditions. The interaction between manganese-oxides and arsenic is particularly important because manganese can oxidize mobile and toxic arsenite into more easily sorbed and less toxic arsenate. This redox reaction is essential in understanding how to address the global issue of arsenic contamination in drinking water. Results: The reactivity of manganese-oxides in ascending order is random stacked birnessite, hexagonal birnessite, biogenic manganese-oxide, acid birnessite, and δ-MnO2. Increasing temperature raised the rate of oxidation. pH had a variable effect on the production of arsenate and mainly impacted the sorption of arsenate on δ-MnO2, which decreased with increasing pH. Acid birnessite oxidized the most arsenic at alkaline and acidic pHs, with decreased reactivity towards neutral pH. The δ-MnO2 showed a decline in reactivity with increasing arsenite concentration, while the acid birnessite had greater oxidation capacity under higher concentrations of arsenite. The batch reactions used in this study quantify the impact of environmental variances on different manganese-oxides' reactivity and provide insight to their roles in governing chemical cycles in the Critical Zone. Conclusions: The reactivity of manganese-oxides investigated was closely linked to each mineral's crystallinity, surface area, and presence of vacancy sites. δ-MnO2 and acid birnessite are thought to be synthetic representatives of naturally occurring biogenic manganese-oxides; however, the biogenic manganese-oxide exhibited a lag time in oxidation compared to these two minerals. Reactivity was clearly linked to temperature, which provides important information on how these minerals react in the subsurface environment. The pH affected oxidation rate, which is essential in understanding how manganese-oxides react differently in the environment and their potential role in remediating contaminated areas. Moreover, the contrasting oxidative capacity of seemingly similar manganese-oxides under varying arsenite concentrations reinforces the importance of each manganese-oxide mineral's unique properties.

The fuel cell consists of a fermentation chamber coupled to a direct ethanol fuel cell. The anode and fermentation chambers are separated by a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Ethanol generated from fermented biomass in the fermentation chamber diffuses through the RO membrane into a glucose solution contained in the DEFC anode chamber. The glucose solution is osmotically neutral to the biomass solution in the fermentation chamber preventing the anode chamber from drying out. The fuel cell sustains >1.3 mW cm −2 at 47 °C with high discharge capacity. No separate purification or dilution is necessary, resulting in an efficient and portable system for direct conversion of fermenting biomass to electricity.

Infections by these viruses can cause severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates. Since there is currently no vaccine or antiviral therapy approved for humans, there is an urgent need to develop prophylactic and therapeutic options for use during filoviral outbreaks and bioterrorist attacks. One of the ideal targets against filoviral infection and diseases is at the entry step, which is mediated by the filoviral glycoprotein (GP). In this report, we screened a chemical library of small molecules and identified numerous inhibitors, which are known G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) antagonists targeting different GPCRs, including histamine receptors, 5-HT (serotonin) receptors, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, and adrenergic receptor. These inhibitors can effectively block replication of both infectious EBOV and MARV, indicating a broad antiviral activity of the GPCR antagonists. The time-of-addition experiment and microscopic studies suggest that GPCR antagonists block filoviral entry at a step following the initial attachment but prior to viral/cell membrane fusion. These results strongly suggest that GPCRs play a critical role in filoviral entry and GPCR antagonists can be developed as an effective anti-EBOV/MARV therapy.

Patients received 4 weight-based doses of intravenous artesunate (2.4 mg/kg) under a treatment protocol implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between January 2007 and December 2010. At baseline, 35% had evidence of cerebral malaria, and 17% had severe hepatic impairment. Eligibility required the presence of microscopically confirmed malaria, need for intravenous treatment, and an impediment to quinidine.Measurements: Clinical and laboratory data from each patient's hospital records were abstracted retrospectively, including information from baseline through a maximum 7-day follow-up, and presented before a physician committee to evaluate safety and clinical benefit outcomes.Results: 7 patients died (mortality rate, 6.9%). The most frequent adverse events were anemia (65%) and elevated hepatic enzyme levels (49%). All deaths and most adverse events were attributed to the severity of malaria. Patients' symptoms generally improved or resolved within 3 days, and the median time to discharge from the intensive care unit was 4 days, even for patients with severe liver disease or cerebral malaria. More than 100 concomitant medications were used, with no documented drug-drug interactions.Limitation: Potential late-presenting safety issues might occur outside the 7-day follow-up.Conclusion: Artesunate was a safe and clinically beneficial alternative to quinidine.

Viscometry and scattering measurements of long telechelic polymers having polycyclooctadiene backbones and acid or amine end groups verify the formation of megasupramolecules. They control misting and reduce drag in the same manner as ultralong covalent polymers. With individual building blocks short enough to avoid hydrodynamic chain scission (weight-average molecular weights of 400 to 1000 kg/mol) and reversible linkages that protect covalent bonds, these megasupramolecules overcome the obstacles of shear degradation and engine incompatibility.

A presentation of a verification and validation efforts is included. The present model is shown to be numerically convergent under the constraints that the summation of point masses is constant and that both the tensile stiffness and the angular stiffness of the spring conform with the material׳s Young modulus and Poisson ratio. Complex validation simulations conclude the effort via drag force comparisons with experiments.

Sensors can today generate very large data sets that exceed the ability of tactical networks to transfer and disseminate them in a timely manner. Furthermore, the desire to cover larger areas with persistent sensing capabilities, have resulted in the widescale deployment of inexpensive sensors, further widening the gap between the volume of information that is generated and the subset that can successfully be delivered to consumers. This article explores the notion of determining the value of information in order to prioritize and filter information that is disseminated over these tactical networks, focusing on the dissemination of information to and from dismounted soldiers in a battlefield environment. This is a promising approach to mitigate the constraints of tactical networks and to reduce information overload on soldiers.

JO - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) JF - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) J1 - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) PY - 2016/09// Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 306 EP - 317 SN - 08995605 AB - Although both the military and fraternities have been theorized to be characterized by norms and attitudes that serve to legitimize violence against women, no previous work has examined the potential similarity and differences in rape-supportive beliefs of these 2 environments or the people drawn to them. Further, the belief systems of women within these organizations have received little attention. As such, the current study sought to serve as an initial exploration of the rape-supportive belief systems of people drawn to these groups. Participants were recruited from students entering 2 military service academies (U.S. Military Academy, n = 1,169, 1,003 men, 166 women; U.S. Naval Academy, n = 1,916, 1,551 men, 365 women) and fraternities and sororities at a Midwestern university (n = 393, 188 men, 205 women). All participants completed the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale-Short Form. Consistent with previous findings related to gender, men were more accepting of rape myths than women. Further, there was more variability in the levels of rape myth acceptance among military service academy and fraternity men than among military service academy and sorority women. Although across all groups the women expressed significantly lower levels of rape myth acceptance than the men, women and men from the United States Military Academy were more closely aligned in their beliefs than women and men from the other samples. Implications for sexual assault prevention education are discussed.

Yet, the web of networks that constitutes cyberspace is imbued with challenges. Seemingly every day there is a new story of a government, business, or individual, suffering from a serious hack. These hacks are often attributed to state actors or transnational criminal organizations. Combined, the almost daily revelations of serious incidents compound a common misperception that cyberspace is an ungoverned space. The reality of cyberspace, however, is far different and constitutes a complex environment of overlapping jurisdictions. The overlapping geographic, legal, and technical boundaries affect everything from the freedom of information to the decision to engage in military operations. Technical specifications as well as laws and policies established by local and national governments, international institutions, non-governmental organizations, and corporations form the decision-making framework for national policymakers and military commanders. Understanding how all the elements of cyberspace interact provides context for when, why and how the United States engages in military operations in cyberspace. This paper examines the complexities of the environment and their impact on the decisions of states (with emphasis placed on the United States) to engage in offensive cyber operations, cyber exploitation,' and defensive cyber operations against other states and non-state actors. Moreover, it examines the important role that overlapping governmental and non-governmental organizations have in affecting the types of behaviors that occur within cyberspace.

This paper extends the CC method to the more general case of beam wave scattering. Gaussian beams are assumed incident upon a deterministic metal rough surface. Scatter patterns based on the CC method are calculated and compared to scatter patterns determined by the method of moments solution of an electric field integral equation formulation of the scatter problem. It was shown that good agreement between these two solution methods is obtained for scatter surfaces for which the CC method is shown to satisfy conservation of power and an accuracy criterion.

We also robustify our models to deal with the presence of sparse noise and low-rank interference signals. Specifically, we demonstrate that incorporating the noise or interference signal as a low-rank component in our models is essential in a multi-sensor classification problem when multiple co-located sources/sensors simultaneously record the same physical event. We further extend our frameworks to kernelized models which rely on sparsely representing a test sample in terms of all the training samples in a feature space induced by a kernel function. A fast and efficient algorithm based on alternative direction method is proposed where its convergence to an optimal solution is guaranteed. Extensive experiments are conducted on several real multi-sensor data sets and results are compared with the conventional classifiers to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Earlier this decade, the US military experienced both the repeals of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy and the exclusion of women from combat, yet transgender people are prohibited from serving openly in the military. This study explores tolerance toward perceived gender nonconformity by military affiliation, race/ethnicity, sex, religious affiliation, and political leaning. Most members of our sample, regardless of military affiliation, do not report that having a transgender person in the workplace would impact their job. At first glance, military academy and ROTC cadets are least tolerant of transgender people in the military and in society more generally. Further analyses shows that the impact of military affiliation is reduced substantially by controlling for background characteristics, especially political ideology and religious affiliation.

The study detailed two extra-judicial killings (EJKs) by Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in an area stabilized and overseen by a US-led Combined Task Force (CTF). To deter further EJKs following the first incident, the CTF’s commander reported the incidents up his chain of command and used the limited tools at his disposal to influence local indigenous officials directly. Apparently, the ANP unit took no notice. In his commentary on the case study, Paul Robinson considered moral compromise in war more generally. Coalition troops in Afghanistan, for instance, have encountered not just EJKs but also sexual abuse of minors, killing of non-combatants, kidnapping, torture, and widespread corruption. What should the soldier on the ground do if indigenous personnel violate Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) with impunity? Refusing to serve will not right or prevent moral wrongs, while staying on to fight the good but futile fight will mire the soldier in moral compromise. “ … [S]oldiers faced with this dilemma have no good options. The systemic failings surrounding them mean that it is probable that nothing they do will help”. In a concluding note, I suggested that while an individual soldier may indeed have no good options, as Paul Robinson suggests, that soldier’s military and nation at large are obliged to do what they can. At least, they must keep to the moral high ground so as not to give indigenous security forces an excuse to misbehave, and determine the nature of crimes such as EJKs: are they outlaw acts or in fact endorsed by the indigenous culture and perhaps even government? Below Colonel Dave Barnes, himself a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, analyzes Paul Lushenko’s case study at “ … the local, tactical level: If a commander is in this situation – where her unit witnesses an EJK or other war crime – what should she do?” [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of Journal of Military Ethics is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Nautical depth defines a safe and effective channel bottom criterion in areas where fluid mud confounds conventional acoustic (echo sounder) surveying methods. Fluid mud is a high-concentration suspension that typically behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid. It occurs in ports and channels on all U. S. coastlines and accounts for a significant portion of the United States' $1 billion dredging expense. Nautical depth has been adopted in multiple ports on three continents. Where nautical depth application is appropriate, it often reduces dredging frequency and dredged material volume and can provide water quality benefits. Multiple experiments and field experience have shown that vessels can safely transit areas with fluid mud below the keel. The United States' adoption of the nautical depth concept for select ports and waterways can be expected to reduce dredging frequency and volumes. It offers potential economic and environmental benefits but will require a consensus among federal, state, and local organizations with responsibilities for constructing, operating, maintaining, marking, and using navigable waterways.

This war exposed the deterioration of the U.S. Army's records management after the disestablishment of The Adjutant General's Office (TAGO) in 1986. TAGO had overseen Army records management, holding commanders accountable for their units' records and using trained personnel to manage records within units. Focusing on operational records, this paper explores the breakdown of records management during the Gulf War, discusses the presidentially mandated Gulf War Declassification Project (1995-1996), and briefly reviews current Army operational records management.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requires a 70% overall performance rating to pass speech intelligibility certification for commercial chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear air-purifying respirators. However, the speech intelligibility of certified respirators is not reported and the impact on operational performance is unknown. The objective of this effort was to assess the speech intelligibility of 12 certified air-purifying respirators and to predict their impact on operational performance. The NIOSH respirator certification standard testing procedures were followed. Regression equations were fit to data from studies that examined the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on operational performance of simple and complex missions. The impact of the tested respirators on operational performance was estimated from these equations. Performance ratings observed for each respirator were: MSA Millennium (90%), 3M FR-M40 (88%), MSA Ultra Elite (87%), Scott M110 (86%), North 5400 (85%), Scott M120 (85%), Avon C50 (84%), Avon FM12 (84%), Survivair Optifit (81%), Drager CDR 4500 (81%), Peltor-AOSafety M-TAC (79%), and 3M FR-7800B (78%). The Millennium and FR-M40 had statistically significantly higher scores than the FR-7800B. The Millennium also scored significantly higher than the M-TAC. All of the tested respirators were predicted to have little impact on simple and complex mission performance times and on simple mission success rate. However, the regression equations showed that 75% of missions that require complex communications would be completed while wearing the Millennium, FR-M40, or Ultra Elite but that only 60% would be completed successfully while wearing the FR-7800B. These results suggest that some certified respirators may have a greater impact on speech communications than others.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: This study investigated whether a stressful military training program, the 9- to 10-week U.S. Army basic combat training (BCT) course, alters the cognitive performance and mood of healthy young adult females. Background: Structured training programs including adolescent boot camps, sports training camps, learning enrichment programs, and military basic training are accepted methods for improving academic and social functioning. However, limited research is available on the behavioral effects of structured training programs in regard to cognitive performance and mood. Method: Two separate, within-subject studies were conducted with different BCT classes; in total 212 female volunteers were assessed before and after BCT. In Study 1, Four- Choice Reaction Time, Match-to-Sample, and Grammatical Reasoning tests were administered. The Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) was administered in Study 2. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was administered in both studies. Results: In Study 1, reaction time to correct responses on all three of the performance tests improved from preto post-BCT. In Study 2, PVT reaction time significantly improved. All POMS subscales improved over time in the second study, whereas POMS subscales in the first study failed to meet criteria for statistically significant differences over time. Conclusion: Cognition and mood substantially improved over military basic training. These changes may be a result of structured physical and mental training experienced during basic training or other factors not as yet identified. Application: Properly structured training may have extensive, beneficial effects on cognitive performance and mood; however, additional research is needed to determine what factors are responsible for such changes.

JO - Water Resources Management JF - Water Resources Management Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 28 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3291 EP - 3305 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09204741 AB - Statistically and dynamically downscaled climate projections are the two important data sources for evaluation of climate change and its impact on water availability, water quality and ecosystems. Though bias correction helps to adjust the climate model output to behave more similarly to observations, the hydrologic response still can be biased. This study uses Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model to evaluate the hydrologic response of the trans-state Oologah Lake watershed to climate change by using both statistically and dynamically downscaled multiple climate projections. Simulated historical and projected climate data from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and Bias-Corrected and Spatially Downscaled-Coupled Model Intercomparison Phase 3 (BCSD-CMIP3) forced the hydrologic model. In addition, different river network upscaling methods are also compared for a higher VIC model performance. Evaluation and comparison shows the following the results. (1) From the hydrologic point of view, the dynamically downscaled NARCCAP projection performed better, most likely in capturing a larger portion of mesoscale-driven convective rainfall than the statistically downscaled CMIP3 projections; hence, the VIC model generated higher seasonal streamflow amplitudes that are closer to observations. Additionally, the statistically downscaled GCMs are less likely to capture the hydrological simulation probably due to missing integration of climate variables of wind, solar radiation and others, even though their precipitation and temperature are bias corrected to be more favorably than the NARCCAP simulations. (2) Future water availability (precipitation, runoff, and baseflow) in the watershed would increase annually by 3-4 %, suggested by both NARCCAP and BCSD-CMIP3. Temperature increases (2.5-3 °C) are much more consistent between the two types of climate projections both seasonally and annually. However, NARCCAP suggested 2-3 times higher seasonal variability of precipitation and other water fluxes than the BCSD-CMIP3 models. (3) The hydrologic performance could be used as a potential metric to comparatively differentiate climate models, since the land surface and atmosphere processes are considered integrally.

Methods and Results Lyophilized Bacillus anthracis ΔSterne spores, coated in silica, were aerosolized into a containment chamber and deposited onto nine surface types by two independent laboratories. Laboratory A produced a mean loading concentration of 1·78 × 105 CFU cm−2; coefficient of variation ( CV) was <40% for 96% of samples. Laboratory B produced a mean loading concentration of 7·82 × 106 CFU cm−2; 68% of samples demonstrated CV <40%. Conclusions This method has been shown to meet the goal of loading threat-representative spores onto surfaces with low variability at concentrations relevant to the Department of Defense. Significance and Impact of the Study As demonstrated in 2001, a biological attack using anthrax disseminated as a dry powder is a credible threat. This method will provide a means to load spores onto surfaces that mimic a 'real-world' scenario of an aerosolized anthrax attack. The method has utility for evaluating sporicidal technologies and for nondecontamination studies, for example fate and transport or reaerosolization.

Objective: The objective of this project was to develop an exposure system for delivering controlled vapor concentrations of TICs to the skin of anesthetized weanling pigs. Injury levels targeted for study were superficial dermal (SD) and deep dermal (DD) skin lesions as defined histopathologically. Materials and methods: The exposure system was capable of simultaneously delivering chlorine or bromine vapor to four, 3-cm diameter exposure cups placed over skin between the axillary and inguinal areas of the ventral abdomen. Vapor concentrations were generated by mixing saturated bromine or chlorine vapor with either dried dilution air or nitrogen. Results: Bromine exposure concentrations ranged from 6.5 × 10−4 to 1.03 g/L, and exposure durations ranged from 1 to 45 min. A 7-min skin exposure to bromine vapors at 0.59 g/L was sufficient to produce SD injuries, while a 17-min exposure produced a DD injury. Chlorine exposure concentrations ranged from 1.0 to 2.9 g/L (saturated vapor concentration) for exposures ranging from 3 to 90 min. Saturated chlorine vapor challenges for up to 30 min did not induce significant dermal injuries, whereas saturated chlorine vapor with wetted material on the skin surface for 30-60 min induced SD injuries. DD chlorine injuries could not be induced with this system. Conclusion: The vapor exposure system described in this study provides a means for safely regulating, quantifying and delivering TIC vapors to the skin of weanling swine as a model to evaluate therapeutic treatments.

T1 - Dietary Protein Level and Source Differentially Affect Bone Metabolism, Strength, and Intestinal Calcium Transporter Expression during Ad Libitum and Food-Restricted Conditions in Male Rats.

The objective of the current study was to determine whether HP diets suppress bone turnover and improve bone quality in male rats during food restriction and whether dietary protein source affects this relation. Eighty 12-wk-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to consume 1 of 4 study diets under ad libitum (AL) control or restricted conditions [40% food restriction (FR)]: 1) 10% [normal-protein (NP)]milk protein; 2) 32% (HP) milk protein; 3) 10% (NP) soy protein; or 4) 32% (HP) soy protein. After 16 wk, markers of bone turnover, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture, strength, and expression of duodenal calcium channels were assessed. FR increased bone turnover and resulted in lower femoral trabecular bone volume (P < 0.05), higher cortical bone surface (P < 0.001), and reduced femur length (P < 0.01), bending moment (P < 0.05), and moment of inertia (P = 0.001) compared with AL. HP intake reduced bone turnover and tended to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) (P = 0.06) and increase trabecular vBMD (P < 0.05) compared with NP but did not affect bone strength. Compared with milk, soy suppressed PTH (P < 0.05) and increased cortical vBMD (P < 0.05) and calcium content of the femur (P < 0.01) but did not affect strength variables. During AL conditions, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6 was higher for soy than milk (P < 0.05) and HP compared with NP (P < 0.05). These data demonstrate that both HP and soy diets suppress PTH, and HP attenuates bone turnover and increases vBMD regardless of FR, although these differences do not affect bone strength. The effects of HP and soy may be due in part to enhanced intestinal calcium transporter expression.

Significant adverse ecological effects from these residues have not been documented except for ordnance containing white phosphorus. At a military training range in Alaska, USA, the deaths of thousands of waterfowl due to poisoning from white phosphorus ordnance prompted a two-decade-long investigation of the extent of the contamination, remediation technologies, and methods to assess and monitor the effectiveness of the remediation. This paper gives an overview of these investigations and provides the outcome of the remediation efforts.

SN - 08856087 AB - Streams crossing underground coal mines may lose flow, whereas abandoned mine drainage (AMD) restores flow downstream. During 2005-2012, discharge from the Pine Knot Mine Tunnel, the largest AMD source in the upper Schuylkill River Basin, had near-neutral pH and elevated concentrations of iron, manganese and sulphate. Discharge from the tunnel responded rapidly to recharge but exhibited a prolonged recession compared with nearby streams, consistent with rapid infiltration of surface water and slow release of groundwater from the mine complex. Dissolved iron was attenuated downstream by oxidation and precipitation, whereas dissolved CO2 degassed and pH increased. During high flow conditions, the AMD and downstream waters exhibited decreased pH, iron and sulphate with increased acidity that were modelled by mixing net-alkaline AMD with recharge or run-off having low ionic strength and low pH. Attenuation of dissolved iron within the river was least effective during high flow conditions because of decreased transport time coupled with inhibitory effects of low pH on oxidation kinetics. A numerical model of groundwater flow was calibrated by using groundwater levels in the Pine Knot Mine and discharge data for the Pine Knot Mine Tunnel and West Branch Schuylkill River during a snowmelt event in January 2012. Although the calibrated model indicated substantial recharge to the mine complex took place away from streams, simulation of rapid changes in mine pool level and tunnel discharge during a high flow event in May 2012 required a source of direct recharge to the Pine Knot Mine. Such recharge produced small changes in mine pool level and rapid changes in tunnel flow rate because of extensive unsaturated storage capacity and high transmissivity within the mine complex. Thus, elimination of stream leakage could have a small effect on the annual discharge from the tunnel, but a large effect on peak discharge and associated water quality downstream. Published 2013.

Ten volunteers participated in 90-min heat exposure trials with and without respirator (Control) wear and performed computer-generated tasks while seated. Ambient air cooling was provided to respirators modified to blow air to the forehead (FHC) or to the forehead and the breathing zone (BZC) of a full-facepiece air-purifying respirator using a low-flow (45 L·min−1) mini-blower. An unmodified respirator (APR) trial was also completed. The highest body temperatures (TTY) and least favorable comfort ratings were observed for the APR condition. With ambient cooling over the last 60 min of heat exposure, TTYaveraged 37.4 ± 0.6°C for Control, 38.0 ± 0.4°C for APR, 37.8 ± 0.5°C for FHC, and 37.6 ± 0.7°C for BZC conditions independent of time. Both the FHC and BZC ambient air cooling conditions reduced facial skin temperatures, reduced the rise in body temperatures, and led to more favorable subjective comfort and thermal sensation ratings over time compared to the APR condition; however statistical differences among conditions were inconsistent. Independent of exposure time, average breathing apparatus comfort scores with BZC (7.2 ± 2.5) were significantly different from both Control (8.9 ± 1.4) and APR (6.5 ± 2.2) conditions when ambient cooling was activated. These findings suggest that low-flow ambient air cooling of the face under low work rate conditions and mild hyperthermia may be a practical method to minimize the thermophysiological strain and reduce perceived respirator discomfort.

SN - 01979337 AB - ABSTRACT Groundwater seepage can lead to the erosion and failure of streambanks and hillslopes. Two groundwater instability mechanisms include (i) tension failure due to the seepage force exceeding the soil shear strength or (ii) undercutting by seepage erosion and eventual mass failure. Previous research on these mechanisms has been limited to non-cohesive and low cohesion soils. This study utilized a constant-head, seepage soil box packed with more cohesive (6% and 15% clay) sandy loam soils at prescribed bulk densities (1.30 to 1.70 Mg m−3) and with a bank angle of 90° to investigate the controls on failure mechanisms due to seepage forces. A dimensionless seepage mechanism (SM) number was derived and evaluated based on the ratio of resistive cohesion forces to the driving forces leading to instability including seepage gradients with an assumed steady-state seepage angle. Tension failures and undercutting were both observed dependent primarily on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, effective cohesion, and seepage gradient. Also, shapes of seepage undercuts for these more cohesive soils were wider and less deep compared to undercuts in sand and loamy sand soils. Direct shear tests were used to quantify the geotechnical properties of the soils packed at the various bulk densities. The SM number reasonably predicted the seepage failure mechanism (tension failure versus undercutting) based on the geotechnical properties and assumed steady-state seepage gradients of the physical-scale laboratory experiments, with some uncertainty due to measurement of geotechnical parameters, assumed seepage gradient direction, and the expected width of the failure block. It is hypothesized that the SM number can be used to evaluate seepage failure mechanisms when a streambank or hillslope experiences steady-state seepage forces. When prevalent, seepage gradient forces should be considered when analyzing bank stability, and therefore should be incorporated into commonly used stability models.

JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 224 EP - 236 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 15513777 AB - ABSTRACT This paper details how activity-based passive sampling methods (PSMs), which provide information on bioavailability in terms of freely dissolved contaminant concentrations ( Cfree), can be used to better inform risk management decision making at multiple points in the process of assessing and managing contaminated sediment sites. PSMs can increase certainty in site investigation and management, because Cfree is a better predictor of bioavailability than total bulk sediment concentration ( Ctotal) for 4 key endpoints included in conceptual site models (benthic organism toxicity, bioaccumulation, sediment flux, and water column exposures). The use of passive sampling devices (PSDs) presents challenges with respect to representative sampling for estimating average concentrations and other metrics relevant for exposure and risk assessment. These challenges can be addressed by designing studies that account for sources of variation associated with PSMs and considering appropriate spatial scales to meet study objectives. Possible applications of PSMs include: quantifying spatial and temporal trends in bioavailable contaminants, identifying and evaluating contaminant source contributions, calibrating site-specific models, and, improving weight-of-evidence based decision frameworks. PSM data can be used to assist in delineating sediment management zones based on likelihood of exposure effects, monitor remedy effectiveness, and, evaluate risk reduction after sediment treatment, disposal, or beneficial reuse after management actions. Examples are provided illustrating why PSMs and freely dissolved contaminant concentrations ( Cfree) should be incorporated into contaminated sediment investigations and study designs to better focus on and understand contaminant bioavailability, more accurately estimate exposure to sediment-associated contaminants, and better inform risk management decisions. Research and communication needs for encouraging broader use are discussed. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2014;10:224-236. © 2014 The Authors.

Such killings have decimated the leadership of these groups and disrupted their operations. However, there are collateral effects from UAV killings including civilian deaths. These deaths increase resentment and hatred toward the US, which is channeled by terrorist groups to recruit new members and for local support. Moreover, targeted killings outside a combat zone have political and diplomatic consequences. This paper argues that the current uses of UAV are legal under international and domestic law. However, it proposes amended targeting criteria, greater transparency and increased checks on the executive branch for future use of UAVs.

Tackling "wicked problems" requires a new way of thinking, and new methods and tools for building models that realistically account for social and natural phenomena, gather and structure convincing evidence, and predict policy outcomes accurately. To prepare future and current public decision makers for a rapidly changing, complex world, we suggest a multidimensional framework of complexity in public policy settings that encompasses both analytic and socially constructed complexity, and introduce a simulation-based learning environment (SBLE) in which the power of traditional learning environments is augmented by a computer simulation model. In this study, we report on our experimental attempt to teach students in the MPA classroom about complexity by creating and implementing a SBLE with a U.S. Gulf Coast disaster preparedness case.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2016/02/02/ VL - 50 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1544 EP - 1551 SN - 0013936X AB - This study provides the first evaluation of the cytotoxic effects of the recently identified palytoxin (PLTX) analog, ovatoxin-a (OVTX-a), the major toxin produced by Ostreopsis cf. ovata in the Mediterranean Sea. Its increasing detection during Ostreopsis blooms and in seafood highlights the need to characterize its toxic effects and to set up appropriate detection methods. OVTX-a is about 100 fold less potent than PLTX in reducing HaCaT cells viability (EC50 = 1.1 ? 10-9 M vs 1.8 ? 10-11 M, MTT test) in agreement with a reduced binding affinity (Kd = 1.2 ? 10-9 vs 2.7 ? 10-11 M, saturation experiments on intact cells). Similarly, OVTX-a hemolytic effect is lower than that of the reference PLTX compound. Ost-D shows the lowest cytotoxicity toward HaCaT keratinocytes, suggesting the lack of a hydroxyl group at C44 as a critical feature for PLTXs cytotoxic effects. A sandwich ELISA developed for PLTX detects also OVTX-a in a sensitive (LOD = 4.2 and LOQ = 5.6 ng/mL) and accurate manner (Bias = 0.3%), also in O. cf. ovata extracts and contaminated mussels. Although in vitro OVTX-a appears less toxic than PLTX, its cytotoxicity at nanomolar concentrations after short exposure time rises some concern for human health. The sandwich ELISA can be a viable screening method for OVTXs detection in monitoring program.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 36 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 120 SN - 02775212 AB - To be identified as a wetland under U.S. Federal regulations, a site must, under normal circumstances, support vegetation dominated by hydrophytes. A list of hydrophytes and their wetland indicator rating is published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as the National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) and is the basis for assessing the vegetation criteria of Federal wetland delineation manuals. Ratings are primarily based on expert opinion and few empirical studies have been done, particularly at landscape scales. In this study, we developed an approach for quantifying plant indicator ratings at broad spatial scales and used it to estimate the frequency that Picea pungens Engelm. (Colorado blue spruce) occurs in wetlands across a 22,921 km study area in the southern Rocky Mountains. Species distribution models were developed and used to inform a multistage field sampling design. Wetland soil and hydrology indicators were assessed around 423 randomly selected trees in 22 HUC12 watersheds. Only 16.5 % of trees occurred in wetlands, suggesting that a rating of facultative upland (FACU) is more appropriate than the currently published rating of facultative (FAC) for our study area. This study demonstrates that it is feasible to quantitatively evaluate ratings for species even at broad landscape scales.

Adverse water issues include limited supply, rising cost, and impaired quality; strategies are needed to mitigate these undesirable effects. A major obstacle to developing strategies is the lack of detailed information about how Army facilities use water because on Army installations, water use is typically metered at the aggregate level rather than by area, function, or individual building. New research projects are focused on developing methods and models to disaggregate site-level monthly water meter data and identify classes of facilities on the basis of function, equipment, and schedules of use. Draft methods were tested using information obtained from an installation water audit at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The outcomes of these models will help inform future conservation strategies as Army installations seek to reduce utility costs.

Data on NTO fate and transport is needed to determine its environmental behavior and potential for groundwater contamination. We conducted a series of kinetic and equilibrium batch experiments to characterize the fate of NTO in soils and the effect of soil geochemical properties on NTO-soil interactions. A set of experiments was also conducted using sterilized soils to evaluate the contribution of biodegradation to NTO attenuation. Measured pH values for NTO solutions decreased from 5.98 ± 0.13 to 3.50 ± 0.06 with increase in NTO concentration from 0.78 to 100 mg L −1 . Conversely, the pH of soil suspensions was not significantly affected by NTO in this concentration range. NTO experienced minimal adsorption, with measured adsorption coefficients being less than 1 cm 3 g −1 for all studied soils. There was a highly significant inverse relationship between the measured NTO adsorption coefficients and soil pH (P = 0.00011), indicating the role of NTO and soil charge in adsorption processes. In kinetic experiments, 1st order transformation rate constant estimates ranged between 0.0004 h −1 and 0.0142 h −1 (equivalent to half-lives of 72 and 2 d, respectively), and correlated positively with organic carbon in the soil. Total attenuation of NTO was higher in untreated versus sterilized samples, suggesting that NTO was being biodegraded. The information presented herein can be used to help evaluate NTO potential for natural attenuation in soils.

T1 - Safety and immunogenicity of a mutagenized, live attenuated Rift Valley fever vaccine, MP-12, in a Phase 1 dose escalation and route comparison study in humans. JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2016/01/20/ VL - 34 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 424 EP - 429 SN - 0264410X AB - Rift Valley fever (RVF) poses a risk as a potential agent in bioterrorism or agroterrorism. A live attenuated RVF vaccine (RVF MP-12) has been shown to be safe and protective in animals and showed promise in two initial clinical trials. In the present study, healthy adult human volunteers ( N = 56) received a single injection of (a) RVF MP-12, administered subcutaneously (SQ) at a concentration of 10 4.7 plaque-forming units (pfu) (SQ Group); (b) RVF MP-12, administered intramuscularly (IM) at 10 3.4 pfu (IM Group 1); (c) RVF MP-12, administered IM at 10 4.4 pfu (IM Group 2); or (d) saline (Placebo Group). The vaccine was well tolerated by volunteers in all dose and route groups. Infrequent and minor adverse events were seen among recipients of both placebo and RVF MP-12. One subject had viremia detectable by direct plaque assay, and six subjects from IM Group 2 had transient low-titer viremia detectable only by nucleic acid amplification. Of the 43 vaccine recipients, 40 (93%) achieved neutralizing antibodies (measured as an 80% plaque reduction neutralization titer [PRNT 80 ]) as well as RVF-specific IgM and IgG. The highest peak geometric mean PRNT 80 titers were observed in IM Group 2. Of 34 RVF MP-12 recipients available for testing 1 year following inoculation, 28 (82%) remained seropositive (PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20); this included 20 of 23 vaccinees (87%) from IM Group 2. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine was safe and immunogenic at the doses and routes studied. Given the need for an effective vaccine against RVF virus, further evaluation in humans is warranted.

JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2016/01/20/ VL - 34 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 523 EP - 530 SN - 0264410X AB - An outbreak or deliberate release of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus could have serious public health and socioeconomic consequences. A safe RVF vaccine capable of eliciting long-lasting immunity after a single injection is urgently needed. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine candidate has shown promise in Phase 1 clinical trials; no evidence of reversion to virulence has been identified in numerous animal studies. The objective of this Phase 2 clinical trial was to (a) further examine the safety and immunogenicity of RVF MP-12 in RVF virus–naïve humans and (b) characterize isolates of RVF MP-12 virus recovered from the blood of vaccinated subjects to evaluate the genetic stability of MP-12 attenuation. We found that RVF MP-12 was well tolerated, causing mostly mild reactions that resolved without sequelae. Of 19 subjects, 18 (95%) and 19 (100%) achieved, respectively, 80% and 50% plaque reduction neutralization titers (PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ) ≥ 1:20 by postvaccination day 28. All 18 PRNT 80 responders maintained PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ≥ 1:40 until at least postvaccination month 12. Viremia was undetectable in the plasma of any subject by direct plaque assay techniques. However, 5 of 19 vaccinees were positive for MP-12 isolates in plasma by blind passage of plasma on Vero cells. Vaccine virus was also recovered from buffy coat material from one of those vaccinees and from one additional vaccinee. Through RNA sequencing of MP-12 isolates, we found no reversions of amino acids to those of the parent virulent virus (strain ZH548). Five years after a single dose of RVF MP-12 vaccine, 8 of 9 vaccinees (89%) maintained a PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20. These findings support the continued development of RVF MP-12 as a countermeasure against RVF virus in humans.

Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can support early decisions for emerging technologies when data is too sparse or uncertain for traditional risk assessment. It does this by integrating expert judgment with available quantitative and qualitative inputs across multiple criteria to provide relative technology scores. Here, an MCDA framework provides preliminary insights on the suitability of emerging technologies for environmental remediation by comparing nanotechnology and synthetic biology to conventional remediation methods. Subject matter experts provided judgments regarding the importance of criteria used in the evaluations and scored the technologies with respect to those criteria. The results indicate that synthetic biology may be preferred over nanotechnology and conventional methods for high expected benefits and low deployment costs but that conventional technology may be preferred over emerging technologies for reduced risks and development costs. In the absence of field data regarding the risks, benefits, and costs of emerging technologies, structuring evidence-based expert judgment through a weighted hierarchy of topical questions may be helpful to inform preliminary risk governance and guide emerging technology development and policy.

JO - Ecological Indicators JF - Ecological Indicators Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 60 M3 - Article SP - 1252 EP - 1262 SN - 1470160X AB - Marl prairie, a diverse graminoid-dominated freshwater vegetation community in the Florida Everglades, provides a specialized niche for the federally endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS). This paper describes a regional habitat suitability modeling approach to evaluating how changes in management from Everglades restoration may affect the CSSS. The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Marl Prairie Indicator ( CSSSMarlPrairie ) is a spatially explicit model that integrates frequency (return periods) of target hydrologic conditions to simulate the anticipated response of marl prairie CSSS habitats to fluxing hydropatterns resulting from restoration projects, water management operations, and climatic change. The model integrates CSSS field survey data with the hydrologic targets at the resolution of the hydrologic simulation model (in this case, the Regional Simulation Model). The application of return periods for hydrologic events provides a novel approach for simulation of anticipated marl prairie responses in the southern Everglades and is readily applicable to evaluating targets of modeled wetland restoration scenarios elsewhere. CSSSMarlPrairie is intended to be used for decision support, in association with a suite of ecological models for additional species of management concern, to facilitate planning of ecosystem restoration projects such as those in the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and recovery of the marl prairie habitats of the CSSS. A tentatively selected restoration plan for the central Everglades is projected to have mostly minor overall impacts to marl prairie CSSS habitats. Local substantial habitat shifts in and adjacent to designated habitat boundaries have been identified, however, that warrant management consideration.

The decision support system is composed of a reservoir system simulation model, an ecological model, and two river hydraulics models. The reservoir model simulated current operations at 73 reservoirs and flows at locations of interest in the Connecticut River watershed. Regulated flows from the reservoir model were compared with unregulated flows, both statistically and spatially, for a suite of environmental flow metrics based on inundation patterns related to floodplain vegetation communities. Analyses demonstrate use of the decision support system and show how its use illuminates (1) trends in existing hydrologic alteration for the Connecticut River mainstem and one of its tributaries, the Farmington River, and (2) management scenarios that might have ecological benefits for floodplain plant communities. The decision support system was used to test two management scenarios to assess potential floodplain benefits and associated trade-offs in hydropower generation and flood risk. The process described shows the usefulness of large-scale reservoir management decision support systems that incorporate environmental considerations in assisting with watershed planning and environmental flow implementation.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 52 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 227 EP - 245 SN - 00431397 AB - Low water levels in the Great Lakes have recently had significant financial impacts on the region's commercial shipping, which transports hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of bulk goods each year. Cargo capacity is a function of a ship's draft, the distance between water level and the ship's bottom, and lower water levels force ships to reduce cargo loads to prevent running aground in shallow harbors and locks. Financial risk transfer instruments, such as index-based insurance contracts, may provide an adaptable method for managing these financial risks. In this work, a relationship between water levels and shipping revenues is developed and used in an actuarial analysis of the frequency and magnitude of revenue losses. This analysis is used to develop a standardized suite of binary financial contracts, which are indexed to water levels and priced according to predefined thresholds. These contracts are then combined to form hedging portfolios with different objectives for the shippers. Results suggest that binary contracts could substantially reduce the risk of financial losses during low lake level periods and at a relatively low cost of only one to three percent of total revenues, depending on coverage level.

The HEC-HMS sediment transport module was applied to the Upper North Bosque River Watershed (UNBRW) in central Texas, a well-instrumented watershed with good parameterization and calibration data, to test model robustness. The UNBRWis 98% rural including rangeland, forage, and dairy waste application fields. Simulation results were compared to observed average daily total suspended solid (TSS) data at five gauge locations. The HEC-HMS results matched observed TSS across the UNBRW (<1% error at all gauges) during model calibration and maintained modest residuals (-31 to 12% error) during the validation period. The HEC-HMS also performed well compared to published results through two other commonly used models.

T1 - Determining PM2.5 calibration curves for a low-cost particle monitor: common indoor residential aerosols. JO - Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts JF - Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts Y1 - 2015/11// VL - 17 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1959 EP - 1966 AB - Real-time particle monitors are essential for accurately estimating exposure to fine particles indoors. However, many such monitors tend to be prohibitively expensive for some applications, such as a tenant or homeowner curious about the quality of the air in their home. A lower cost version (the Dylos Air Quality Monitor) has recently been introduced, but it requires appropriate calibration to reflect the mass concentration units required for exposure assessment. We conducted a total of 64 experiments with a suite of instruments including a Dylos DC1100, another real-time laser photometer (TSI SidePak™ Model AM-510 Personal Aerosol Monitor), and a gravimetric sampling apparatus to estimate Dylos calibration factors for emissions from 17 different common indoor sources including cigarettes, incense, fried bacon, chicken, and hamburger. Comparison of minute-by-minute data from the Dylos with the gravimetrically calibrated SidePak yielded relationships that enable the conversion of the raw Dylos particle counts less than 2.5 μm (in #/0.01 ft3) to estimated PM2.5 mass concentration (e.g.μg m−3). The relationship between the exponentially-decaying Dylos particle counts and PM2.5 mass concentration can be described by a theoretically-derived power law with source-specific empirical parameters. A linear relationship (calibration factor) is applicable to fresh or quickly decaying emissions (i.e., before the aerosol has aged and differential decay rates introduce curvature into the relationship). The empirical parameters for the power-law relationships vary greatly both between and within source types, although linear factors appear to have lower uncertainty. The Dylos Air Quality Monitor is likely most useful for providing instantaneous feedback and context on mass particle levels in home and work situations for field-survey or personal awareness applications.

A substantial seismic increase has been observed in historically aseismic regions and in close proximity to federal infrastructure within Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Seismological events M2.0 and greater, spanning February 8, 1950 until October 20, 2013 were analyzed to identify and assess the hazard potential. Geospatial and temporal observations correlate the seismic increase to the rise of unconventional hydrocarbon development, wherein all production components contribute to weakening of the subsurface and induced seismicity. Unconventional hydrocarbon production hazard has become more analogous with deep ore mining in terms of energy release and is subjected to the same causality phenomena and associative hazards with significant implications towards quantifying the risk to infrastructure health and longevity.

Here, we describe a means to target the photocatalysis by surface modification of nanoparticulate TiO 2 with a 13 amino acid streptavidin binding peptide (SBP) for the selective degradation of streptavidin, a 60 kDa tetrameric protein. Modification of the TiO 2 surface with the affinity peptide was confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV/Vis absorbance, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), while streptavidin binding and affinity to bound SBP were tested using fluorescently tagged antibodies against streptavidin. Results show that the SBP retains its affinity toward streptavidin after immobilization onto TiO 2 . Photodegradation studies using the visible region of simulated solar radiation (≥360 nm) showed rapid streptavidin degradation by SBP–TiO 2 both in solution and while the photocatalyst was immobilized as a thin film on a glass substrate. In contrast, photocatalytic degradation of a non-target protein, lysozyme, was inhibited by the SBP monolayer and incompletely degraded, indicating that surface modification with biorecognition agents can control and modulate the photocatalytic process. Moreover, after extended illumination (3 h), the SBP-modified TiO 2 surface retained its ability to bind streptavidin demonstrating that the SBP is stable at the TiO 2 surface and that the SBP–TiO 2 surface is reusable. These results indicate that the modification of TiO 2 with covalently bound peptide recognition moieties offers the ability to selectively degrade target proteins of interest, leaving non-target components largely unaffected.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2015/10// VL - 35 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1034 EP - 1045 SN - 02755947 AB - Trait-selective mortality is of considerable management and conservation interest, especially when trends are similar across multiple species of conservation concern. In the Columbia River basin, thousands of juvenile Pacific salmonidsOncorhynchusspp. are collected each year and are tagged at juvenile bypass system (JBS) facilities located at hydroelectric dams, thus allowing the tracking of population-level performance metrics (e.g., juvenile survival and juvenile-to-adult survival). Several studies have suggested that juvenile salmonid survival is both size dependent and condition dependent, but little is known about trait-selective collection at JBS facilities. Trait-selective collection (e.g., length-based or condition-based selectivity) is particularly important, as inferences to population-level performance metrics may be biased if both the survival and collection processes are influenced by similar characteristics. We used a capture–mark–recapture study to investigate length- and condition-selective survival and detection probabilities for two salmonid species in the Columbia River basin. In 2014, juvenile steelheadO. mykiss(n= 11,201) and yearling Chinook SalmonO. tshawytscha(n= 7,943) were PIT-tagged, measured (FL), examined for external condition characteristics (descaling, body injuries, fin damage, or disease symptoms), and released into the Lower Granite Dam JBS facility on the Snake River to continue seaward migration. Results indicated similar trends in both length- and condition-selective juvenile survival and detection probabilities. For both species, survival probability was higher for longer, nondegraded individuals (those without descaling, body injuries, or fin damage). Trends in detection probability were also consistent across species: shorter, degraded individuals were more likely to be detected at downstream JBS facilities than longer, healthier individuals. These results suggest that similar characteristics (FL and external condition) affect survival and detection processes for PIT-tagged steelhead and yearling Chinook Salmon and that JBS facilities may selectively collect smaller, degraded individuals with lower probabilities of survival. The consistency in trait-selective survival and detection results has important management implications for several species of conservation concern.

T1 - Dynamic Assessment of Timber Railroad Bridges Using Displacements. JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2015/10// VL - 20 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 10840702 AB - Infrastructure spending is such a large component of a railroad budget that it must be prioritized to meet the concurrent safety and line capacity requirements. Current bridge inspection and rating practices recommend observing bridge movements under a live load to help assess bridge conditions. However, measuring bridge movements under trains in the field is a challenging task. Even when they are measured, the relationships between bridge displacements and different loads/speeds are generally unknown. The research reported herein shows the effects of known train loadings, speeds, and traffic directions on the magnitude and frequency of displacements as measured on timber pile bents of a Class I railroad bridge. Researchers collected both vertical and transverse (lateral) displacements under revenue service traffic and work trains using LVDTs with a sampling frequency of 100 Hz. To investigate the effect of traffic on timber railroad bridges, displacements were measured under crossing events at different speeds and directions of a test train of known speed and weight provided by the railroad for the field experiment. The results indicate that bridge transverse displacements could help to capture critical changes in timber railroad bridge serviceability (i.e., ability to safely carry out railroad operations) as a function of railroad loading, speed, and direction.

After 24 h, nonextractable residues made up 75% (mussel) and 83% (fish) while TNT accounted for 2% of total radioactivity. Depuration half-lives for extractable TNT, aminodinitrotoluenes (ADNTs) and diaminonitrotoluenes (DANTs) were fast initially (<0.5 h), but slower for nonextractable residues. Nonextractable residues from organisms were identified as ADNTs and DANTs using 0.1 M HCL for solubilization followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Recovered metabolites only accounted for a small fraction of the bound residue quantified using a radiotracer likely because of low extraction or hydrolysis efficiency or alternative pathways of incorporation of radiolabel into tissue.

JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 168 M3 - Article SP - 16 EP - 26 SN - 03014797 AB - Model studies were conducted to investigate the potential coral reef sediment exposure from dredging associated with proposed development of a deepwater wharf in Apra Harbor, Guam. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to quantify the exposure of coral reefs to material suspended by the dredging operations at two alternative sites. Key PTM features include the flexible capability of continuous multiple releases of sediment parcels, control of parcel/substrate interaction, and the ability to efficiently track vast numbers of parcels. This flexibility has facilitated simulating the combined effects of sediment released from clamshell dredging and chiseling within Apra Harbor. Because the rate of material released into the water column by some of the processes is not well understood or known a priori , the modeling approach was to bracket parameters within reasonable ranges to produce a suite of potential results from multiple model runs. Sensitivity analysis to model parameters is used to select the appropriate parameter values for bracketing. Data analysis results include mapping the time series and the maximum values of sedimentation, suspended sediment concentration, and deposition rate. Data were used to quantify various exposure processes that affect coral species in Apra Harbor. The goal of this research is to develop a robust methodology for quantifying and bracketing exposure mechanisms to coral (or other receptors) from dredging operations. These exposure values were utilized in an ecological assessment to predict effects (coral reef impacts) from various dredging scenarios.

JO - Journal of Environmental Management JF - Journal of Environmental Management Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 168 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 122 SN - 03014797 AB - Coral reefs are in decline worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors including reductions in water and substratum quality. Dredging results in the mobilization of sediments, which can stress and kill corals via increasing turbidity, tissue damage and burial. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to predict the potential impacts of dredging-associated sediment exposure on the coral reef ecosystems of Apra Harbor, Guam. The data were interpreted using maps of bathymetry and coral abundance and distribution in conjunction with impact parameters of suspended sediment concentration (turbidity) and sedimentation using defined coral response thresholds. The results are presented using a “stoplight” model of negligible or limited impacts to coral reefs (green), moderate stress from which some corals would be expected to recover while others would not (yellow) and severe stress resulting in mortality (red). The red conditions for sediment deposition rate and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were defined as values exceeding 25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day window and >20 mg/l for any 18 days in any 90 day period over a column of water greater than 2 m, respectively. The yellow conditions were defined as values >10 mg cm −2 d −1 and <25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day period, and as 20% of 3 months' concentration exceeding 10 mg/l for the deposition and SSC, respectively. The model also incorporates the potential for cumulative effects on the assumption that even sub-lethal stress levels can ultimately lead to mortality in a multi-stressor system. This modeling approach can be applied by resource managers and regulatory agencies to support management decisions related to planning, site selection, damage reduction, and compensatory mitigation.

JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2016/02/15/ VL - 145 M3 - Article SP - 376 EP - 383 SN - 00456535 AB - PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) oxidation (0.121–6.04 μM) by heat-activated persulfate was evaluated at 20–60 °C with 4.2–84 mM S 2 O 8 2 − and in the presence of soluble fuel components to assess feasibility for in-situ remediation of groundwater. 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid/sulfonate (6:2 FTSA) and PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) persulfate oxidation was also evaluated in a subset of conditions given their co-occurrence at many sites. High performance liquid chromatography electron spray tandem mass spectrometry was used for organic analysis and fluoride was measured using a fluoride-specific electrode. PFOA pseudo-1st order transformation rates ( k 1,PFOA ) increased with increasing temperature (half-lives from 0.1 to 7 d for 60 to 30 °C) sequentially removing CF 2 groups (‘unzipping’) to shorter chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and F − . At 50 °C, a 5-fold increase in S 2 O 8 2 − led to a 5-fold increase in k 1,PFOA after which self-scavenging by sulfate radicals decreased the relative rate of increase with more S 2 O 8 2 − . Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene did not affect k 1,PFOA even at 40 times higher molar concentrations than PFOA. A modeling approach to explore pathways strongly supported that for 6:2 FTSA, both the ethyl linkage and CF 2 –CH 2 bond of 6:2 FTSA oxidize simultaneously, resulting in a ratio of ∼25/75 PFHpA/PFHxA. The effectiveness of heat-activated S 2 O 8 2 − on PFOA oxidation was reduced in a soil slurry; therefore, repeated persulfate injections are required to efficiently achieve complete oxidation in the field. However, PFOS remained unaltered even at higher activation temperatures, thus limiting the sole use of heat-activated persulfate for perfluoroalkyl substances removal in the field.

JO - Cleveland State Law Review JF - Cleveland State Law Review J1 - Cleveland State Law Review PY - 2016/01// Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 64 IS - 1 CP - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 82 SN - 00098876 AB - Arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) is the most important topic in current contract law and commentary. The Supreme Court has issued eight merits decisions construing the FAA since 2011, the lower state and federal courts issued more than 1,000 decisions considering the FAA in 2014, and there were 81 fulllength articles, notes, and comments on arbitration in the same year. Recently, three commentators, Professor Margaret Jane Radin of the University of Michigan Law School, Professor Nancy S. Kim of the California Western School of Law, and former Lecturer in Law James P. Dawson of the Yale Law School, have proposed the use of an expanded economic duress defense to help consumers combat unfair pre-dispute arbitration agreements. This Article summarizes each commentator's position and identifies my concerns. While such arbitration clauses can sometimes be unfair, all three proposals are flawed on numerous grounds. The primary problem is that the authors' revised duress doctrines draw unworkable distinctions between improper coercion of offerees and legitimate bargaining techniques in a free market society. My analysis is the first in the legal literature that comprehensively discusses the connection between the economic duress defense generally and FAA arbitration specifically. As I will demonstrate, the two subject areas emphasize freedom of contract as they promote the necessary certainty and predictability of contractual relations. Thus, they accomplish the proper balance between binding the buyer to the arbitral process he agreed to in the contract and prohibiting the seller from enforcing a bargain if he procured it through unduly coercive tactics.

Systematic reviews (SRs) suggest this is not the case. This article's purpose was to review the highest-quality evidence available to guide clinical practice for TTA regarding five prosthetic intervention areas. Six databases were searched for high-quality SRs and prospective clinical trials (randomized clinical trials [RCTs]). Reviewers screened, sorted, rated (i.e., methodologic quality, bias risk), and extracted article data. Meta-analyses were conducted when possible. Thirty-one references were included (25 RCTs and 6 SRs). Five topical areas emerged (alignment, feet and ankles, interface, postoperative care, pylons). Twenty-three evidence statements were supported by level 2 evidence and eight by level 1 evidence. All RCTs reported randomization and reasonable data presentation. Concealed allocation and blinding were not widely used. Mean attrition was 11%. SRs included no meta-analyses. Functional level was poorly reported. Grouping feet and ankle components by functional classification enabled meta-analyses, though variance was considerable given the small sample sizes. Prosthetic interventions are generally safe for TTAs. High-quality literature enabled formulation of evidence statements to support select clinical practice areas, though quantity was lacking. Thus, numerous topics related to TTA care lack rigorous evidence. Although blinding in prosthetic research requires increased funding and effort, it could greatly improve the methodologic quality of prosthetic research.

Descriptive analyses utilizing the ANAM4TBI Military Performance Database were performed. We examined ANAM Composite Score (ACS) differences between five injury subgroups (no injury, brain injury with current symptoms, brain injury without current symptoms, nonbrain injury with current symptoms, and nonbrain injury without current symptoms) using general linear mixed modeling. Almost 11% (70,472/641,285) reported brain injury in the 4 years before assessment. The ACS differed significantly by injury group (p < 0.0001). In comparison to the no injury group, those reporting brain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.44) and nonbrain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.24) demonstrated significantly reduced ACS scores (p < 0.0001) indicative of reduced neurocognitive proficiency. In this population-based study of U.S. military personnel, neurocognitive performance was significantly associated with reported injury within the past 4 years among those experiencing current symptoms. Occupational programs focusing on prospective brain health of injured population groups are warranted.

These steps have assisted in providing a robust medical system and augment Ebola diagnostic capability within the affected nations. In order to prepare for the deployment of U.S. military personnel, the infectious disease risks of the regions must be determined. This evaluation allows for the establishment of appropriate force health protection posture for personnel while deployed, as well as management plans for illnesses presenting after redeployment. Our objective was to detail the epidemiology and infectious disease risks for military personnel in West Africa, particularly for Liberia, along with lessons learned from prior deployments.

However, these studies did not evaluate phytonutrient supplementation. A growing literature suggests inclusion of phytonutrients in DSs may pose a risk for toxicity, which could impact the performance of soldier duties, as well as long-term health and wellness. This study was conducted to assess and understand soldiers' motivations to consume phytonutrient-containing DSs, specifically genistein, quercetin, and resveratrol. The study was a cross-sectional, descriptive mixed-methods design using a survey and semistructured interviews. There were 436 soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington who completed the survey, from which 36 soldiers completed an interview. Overall, 34% of soldiers reported taking a single or multicomponent phytonutrient DS > 1 time/wk, from which 41 soldiers took >1 supplement/wk. Soldiers' reasons for use included unsure (54%), weight loss (12%), and other, unspecified (24%). The majority of interviewees did not consume DSs based on inclusion of genistein, quercetin, or resveratrol. The majority of soldiers, in our study, appear unable to rationalize their phytonutrient DS choices. Findings from this study illuminate the need for future research to further explore DS practices within military populations and encourage informed use of DSs.

Clinical management of injuries resulting from nerve agents provides different challenges for first responders than those of conventional weapons. We evaluated the impact of a mixed-methods training program on competency acquisition in cholinergic crisis clinical management using multimedia with either live animal or patient actor examples, and hands-on practice using SimMan3G mannequin simulators. A purposively selected sample of 204 civilian and military first responders who had not previously completed nerve agent training were assessed pre- and post-training for knowledge, performance, self-efficacy, and affective state. We conducted analysis of variance with repeated measures; statistical significance p < 0.05. Both groups had significant performance improvement across all assessment dimensions: knowledge > 20%, performance > 50%, self-efficacy > 34%, and affective state > 15%. There were no significant differences between the live animal and patient actor groups. These findings could aid in the specification of training for first-responder personnel in military and civilian service. Although less comprehensive than U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense courses, the training outcomes associated with this easily distributed program demonstrate its value in increasing the competency of first responders in recognizing and managing a mass casualty cholinergic event.

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences collaborated with the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute to conduct a descriptive and qualitative analysis of global health engagements (GHEs) contained in the Stability Operations Lessons Learned and Information Management System (SOLLIMS). This study used a summative qualitative content analysis approach involving six steps: (1) a comprehensive search; (2) two-stage reading and screening process to identify first-hand, health-related records; (3) qualitative and quantitative data analysis using MAXQDA, a software program; (4) a word cloud to illustrate word frequencies and interrelationships; (5) coding of individual themes and validation of the coding scheme; and (6) identification of relationships in the data and overarching lessons-learned. The individual codes with the most number of text segments coded included: planning, personnel, interorganizational coordination, communication/information sharing, and resources/supplies. When compared to the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) evolving GHE principles and capabilities, the SOLLIMS coding scheme appeared to align well with the list of GHE capabilities developed by the Department of Defense Global Health Working Group. The results of this study will inform practitioners of global health and encourage additional qualitative analysis of other lessons-learned databases.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2014/12// Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 179 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1487 EP - 1496 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objectives: Training-related injury is a threat to military health and readiness. Prevalence of potential risk factors for training-related injury can change with U.S. Army recruitment goals and may influence basic combat training (BCT) injury rates. This article describes challenges of using administrative data to identify a trainee cohort and describes demographic and training characteristics across the five BCT locations. Methods: Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database were used to identify a U.S. Army-wide cohort of first-time trainees from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2007 and describe its characteristics. Results: The cohort includes 368,102 first-time trainees. The annual number starting BCT increased from 52,187 in 2002 to 68,808 in 2004. The proportion of males increased from 81.57% in 2003 to 83.84% in 2007. Mean (SD) age increased from 20.67 (3.55) years in 2002 to 20.94 (3.65) years in 2007. Mean (SD) body mass index increased from 24.53 (3.56) kg/m2 in 2002 to 24.94 (3.84) kg/m2 in 2006. Other characteristics fluctuated by year, including proportions of race/ethnicity, accession waivers, and confirmed graduates. Conclusions: Fluctuations in trainee characteristics warrant further analysis of potential influence on BCT injury rates. For research uses, careful acquisition of administrative data is needed.

Method: Cases were U.S. Army Soldiers (active duty or activated National Guard/Reserve) with dates of death between 2005 and 2011 and between 18 and 64 years of age in the Department of Defense Medical Mortality Registry. Age- and sex-adjusted annual mortality rates (AR) were calculated for each category of death and examined via linear regression. Proportions of underlying causes of death were also examined. Results: The trend in AR in the U.S. Army significantly decreased for combat deaths, the average annual percent change (AAPC) = 15.2% decrease in the log of the rate (LAR); p = 0.04 and accident deaths, AAPC = 5.4% decrease in the LAR; p = 0.002 and significantly increased for suicides, AAPC = 10.6% increase in the LAR; p = 0.001. The trend in AR for suicides for the Army was significantly different compared to the U.S. general population, AAPC = 11.0% increase in the LAR; p < 0.001. Conclusions: Trends in rates of combat deaths and accident deaths declined although rates of suicides increased. The Army suicide rate increased in comparison to the United States. 70% of accident deaths were transportation related. Almost 70% of suicides and homicides were firearm related.

Technology offers great potential to minimize and/or mitigate barriers associated with achieving optimal health, performance, and readiness. In support of the U.S. Army Surgeon General’s vision for a “System for Health” and its Performance Triad initiative, the U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center hosted a workshop in April 2013 titled “Incentives to Create and Sustain Change for Health.” Members of government and academia participated to identify and define the opportunities, gain clarity in leading practices and research gaps, and articulate the characteristics of future technology solutions to create and sustain real change in the health of individuals, the Army, and the nation. The key factors discussed included (1) public health messaging, (2) changing health habits and the environmental influence on health, (3) goal setting and tracking, (4) the role of incentives in behavior change intervention, and (5) the role of peer and social networks in change. This report summarizes the recommendations on how technology solutions could be employed to leverage evidence-based best practices and identifies gaps in research where further investigation is needed.

However, channels reflect the variety of their watersheds' climatological, ecological and physiographic contexts, and so no single CEM can be truly 'global'. Unrecognised differences between the assumptions and the reality of evolutionary trajectories of particular streams can subsequently lead to restoration actions that neither fully achieve their intended objectives nor successfully self-maintain even limited improvements. Despite the daunting variety of biophysical settings, however, urbanisation imposes distinctive, homogenising influences on virtually all watercourses, suggesting that even a relatively small set of evolutionary pathways can embrace much of the diversity of critical watershed drivers on urban channels. CEMs describing single-thread channel response to incision are most common in the published literature, but not every urban disturbance yields this classic sequence, initiated by excess transport capacity followed by incision, bank erosion, widening and ultimately a lowered re-equilibrated channel. A comprehensive urban CEM must also include responses under less common (but locally ubiquitous) conditions, such as excess sediment relative to transport capacity (the 'inverse' of the classic CEM), imposed constraints on vertical and/or lateral adjustment, and multi-thread channels or those influenced by instream or riparian vegetation. An urban CEM also requires a hierarchical framework that acknowledges fundamental differences in the process drivers within any given watershed, because a single observation of channel form can rarely pinpoint the context or evolutionary trajectory of every stream. We present a geomorphic framework for diagnosing and predicting the evolution of urban streams, potentially guiding the selection of restoration targets that are achievable within an urban context and sustainable without ongoing maintenance.

JO - Journal of Military History JF - Journal of Military History Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 77 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 837 EP - 865 SN - 08993718 AB - After the Battle of Saratoga (October 1777) in the American War of Independence, British leaders conducted a comprehensive reassessment of their military strategy but examined the new strategy's ways and means without considering the ends or objectives of the war. Using extensive primary sources, this article examines the reassessment process and concludes that the effort was fatally flawed because King George III and his ministers failed to reevaluate the war's objectives, given the changed strategic environment after Saratoga. The resulting British military strategy suffered from an imbalance between ends, ways, and means. Thus, British leaders incurred significant risk in executing their new strategy.

Although investigated and disproven by the leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF), the rumors persisted in popular memory and ultimately stigmatized the veterans who endured neutral captivity. This essay examines the motives of some airmen who landed in Switzerland, and argues that the stigma associated with neutral captivity resulted in denials of benefits and military decorations to deserving veterans.

In a longitudinal field experiment, we examined how a targeted mentorship program that unfolded over 6 months enhanced the development of protégés' leader efficacy and performance. Results showed that the targeted mentorship intervention increased protégés' level of leader efficacy more than a comparison intervention that was based on a more eclectic leadership education program delivered in a group setting. Leader efficacy then predicted rated leader performance. Both protégés' preferences for feedback and trust in the mentor served as important moderators in contributing to the development of leader efficacy. Findings from this longitudinal field experiment could be used by educational institutions and other organizations to enhance their mentorship programs in content, focus, and evaluation of impact.

In this article, we detail the foundations of regulatory focus theory, its wide-ranging impact, and its implications in particular for understanding the motivational underpinnings of judgment and decision making. We then explore new developments regarding the interactions between regulatory focus and the psychological experience of being above or below the status quo, and note how this research helps to further distinguish regulatory focus from more general models of approach-avoidance. We then close with a discussion of new research on the relation among regulatory focus, politics, and culture, and between regulatory focus and ethics—both of which may be of special interest to organizational psychologists and decision scientists.

Using an experimental approach, the authors estimated the effects of two different education methodologies (principles-based and rules-of-thumb) on the knowledge, self-assessed knowledge, financial self-efficacy, motivation to learn, willingness to seek advice, risk preferences, and time preferences of high-performing undergraduate students. They found both methods increased cognitive measures of knowledge and noncognitive measures of self-efficacy, motivation to learn, and willingness to take financial risks. They found few differences in the relative effectiveness of each method, although the principles methodology appears to generate larger gains in self-efficacy, while the rules-of-thumb method appears to reduce individuals' willingness to seek advice.

In September 2014, the SRA Emerging Nanoscale Materials Specialty Group convened an international workshop to examine the use of alternative testing strategies (ATS) for manufactured nanomaterials (NM) from a risk analysis perspective. Experts in NM environmental health and safety, human health, ecotoxicology, regulatory compliance, risk analysis, and ATS evaluated and discussed the state of the science for in vitro and other alternatives to traditional toxicology testing for NM. Based on this review, experts recommended immediate and near-term actions that would advance ATS use in NM risk assessment. Three focal areas-human health, ecological health, and exposure considerations-shaped deliberations about information needs, priorities, and the next steps required to increase confidence in and use of ATS in NM risk assessment. The deliberations revealed that ATS are now being used for screening, and that, in the near term, ATS could be developed for use in read-across or categorization decision making within certain regulatory frameworks. Participants recognized that leadership is required from within the scientific community to address basic challenges, including standardizing materials, protocols, techniques and reporting, and designing experiments relevant to real-world conditions, as well as coordination and sharing of large-scale collaborations and data. Experts agreed that it will be critical to include experimental parameters that can support the development of adverse outcome pathways. Numerous other insightful ideas for investment in ATS emerged throughout the discussions and are further highlighted in this article.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2016/07/19/ VL - 50 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 7625 EP - 7632 SN - 0013936X AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5,-triazine (RDX) is a toxic and mobile groundwater contaminant common to military sites. This study compared in situ RDX degradation rates following bioaugmentation with Gordonia sp. strain KTR9 (henceforth KTR9) to rates under biostimulation conditions in an RDX-contaminated aquifer in Umatilla, OR. Bioaugmentation was achieved by injecting site groundwater (6000 L) amended with KTR9 cells (108 cells mL-1) and low carbon substrate concentrations (<1 mM fructose) into site wells. Biostimulation (no added cells) was performed by injecting groundwater amended with low (<1 mM fructose) or high (>15 mM fructose) carbon substrate concentrations in an effort to stimulate aerobic or anaerobic microbial activity, respectively. Single-well push-pull tests were conducted to measure RDX degradation rates for each treatment. Average rate coefficients were 1.2 day-1 for bioaugmentation and 0.7 day-1 for high carbon biostimulation; rate coefficients for low carbon biostimulation were not significantly different from zero (p values ≽0.060). Our results suggest that bioaugmentation with KTR9 is a feasible strategy for in situ biodegradation of RDX and, at this site, is capable of achieving RDX concentration reductions comparable to those obtained by high carbon biostimulation while requiring ~97% less fructose. Bioaugmentation has potential to minimize substrate quantities and associated costs, as well as secondary groundwater quality impacts associated with anaerobic biostimulation processes (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, methane production) during full-scale RDX remediation.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 142 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 07339364 AB - "The Oops Game" explores the question, how much should be invested in planning? The simulation offers the opportunity to reduce the risk of an "Oops" by collecting more information or to go ahead and make the choice with the information at hand. There are two extreme strategies. Nothing is invested in planning in the so-called Guts-ball approach, but this increases the likelihood that an "Oops" will occur and thus increases the cost to complete the project. The second strategy is to invest in planning before attempting to build. This will increase the cost of planning upfront, but may reduce the risk and cost of an "Oops" in building. In reality, the cost and value of planning depends on the complexity level of the project, the amount of uncertainty that we need to deal with it, and the cost of an "Oops." We used computer simulation to show how the value of planning is sensitive to those factors. The results showed that the project with the reliable planning strategy had a 35% higher productivity and a cost-benefit ratio of 13:1. The contribution to the body of knowledge of "The Oops Game" lies in providing a simple and effective means to show the value of planning to construction practitioners and students. The findings from this research fill in the gap of knowledge in quantifying the value of plan under different circumstance for construction projects. .

This can be attributed to many factors, including complexity, how to gather data and develop probabilistic inputs, cost of SBC software, and a lack of understanding of the benefits of developing cost versus risk profiles. This article presents an overview of how SBC can be effectively utilized for early phase life cycle cost (LCC) estimation. A formal process for conducting LCC incorporating SBC is presented not only to provide a structured approach but to also convey to stakeholders how such a study is conducted. This article also presents a case study where total ownership cost versus risk profiles were developed using this proposed process in order to support budgetary and planning considerations for a large environmental remediation project. This research argues that SBC is needed during the concept exploration phase because this is when budgets are often fixed and expectations set.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 53 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 70 EP - 77 SN - 01636804 AB - Harvesting energy from natural (solar, wind, vibration, etc.) and synthesized (microwave power transfer) sources is envisioned as a key enabler for realizing green wireless networks. Energy efficient scheduling is one of the prime objectives in emerging cognitive radio platforms. To that end, in this article we present a comprehensive framework to characterize the performance of a cognitive metro-cellular network empowered by solar energy harvesting. The proposed model allows designers to capture both the spatial and temporal dynamics of the energy field and the mobile user traffic. A new definition for the ?energy outage probability? metric, which characterizes the self-sustainable operation of the base stations under energy harvesting, is proposed, and the process for quantifying is described with the help of a case study for various UK cities. It is shown that the energy outage probability is strongly coupled with the path-loss exponent, required quality of service, and base station and user density. Moreover, the energy outage probability varies both on a daily and yearly basis depending on the solar geometry. It is observed that even in winter, BSs can run for three to six hours without any purchase of energy from the power grid by harvesting instantaneous energy.

SN - 15660621 AB - Analysis of levels and patterns of genetic variation in a rare species is important for determining whether genetic factors associated with small population size, such as genetic drift or inbreeding, may be negatively affecting a species. In this study, we compared estimates of genetic diversity and patterns of population genetic structure in a rare cliff endemic, Erigeron lemmonii, to those of a widespread congener, E. arisolius. Our goals were to assess whether rarity and small population size have negatively affected levels of genetic diversity in E. lemmonii and to identify genetic threats that may limit the ability of E. lemmonii to persist. Levels of observed and expected heterozygosity and allelic richness in E. lemmonii were approximately 60 % of those found in E. arisolius. After correcting for null alleles, inbreeding coefficients in both species of Erigeron were very small, suggesting that both species are highly outcrossing and may demonstrate self-incompatibility. Patterns of genetic structure in both species revealed almost no population substructuring, indicating that widespread gene flow is occurring within each species. Because we found no evidence for inbreeding or a genetic bottleneck in E. lemmonii, it is likely that the species' lower genetic diversity may be the result of genetic drift. Because E. lemmoni exists in a single population, no other populations exist to bolster population size or genetic diversity in the event of declines; thus, conservation efforts should focus on seed collection from as many individuals as possible to protect against possible future losses of genetic diversity. We also recommend continued monitoring of both population size and genetic diversity in E. lemmonii to ensure the species' long-term persistence and viability.

SN - 09204741 AB - The performance of three drinking water treatment sequences found in small community systems in reducing disinfection by-product precursor concentrations and the corresponding disinfection by-product formation potential was evaluated. Raw water quality and its potential for effective removal were characterized by the specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) components of absorbance of ultraviolet light at 254 nm wavelength (UV254) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The results demonstrate that, for the source water qualities tested (hydrophobic SUVA with moderate DOC content, 2.0 to 4.8 L/(mg.m) and 4.1 to 6.3 mg DOC/L), there was a tendency to produce a higher percentage of total trihalomethane (TTHM) over the five regulated species of haloacetic acid (HAA5). The treatment sequence and chemical selection play a critical role in the ability of a small community system operator to achieve compliance with the concentration of regulated disinfection by-products. For the waters tested ferric chloride coagulants perform better at reducing the higher molecular weight, hydrophobic organic precursors. Powdered activated carbon does not perform as well with these source waters unless its application is followed by a clarification process that effectively forms a sludge blanket. This research provides additional criteria for linking source water quality with treatment sequence for sustainable management of disinfection by-product (DBP) compliance.

However, large plants undergo a greater relative reduction in size, compared with small plants, so we hypothesized that this enhancement in hydraulic efficiency would be greatest among large growth forms. In the ecotone between long-leaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) savannas and wetlands, we measured stomatal conductance (gs), mid-day leaf water potential (Ψleaf), leaf-specific whole-plant hydraulic conductance (KL.p), leaf area and height of 10 species covering a range of growth forms in burned and unburned sites. As predicted, KL.p was higher in post-fire resprouts than in unburned plants, and the post-fire increase in KL.p was positively related to plant size. Specifically, large-statured species tended to undergo the greatest relative reductions in leaf area and height, and correspondingly experienced the greatest increases in KL.p. The post-fire increase in KL.p was smaller than expected, however, due to a decrease in absolute root hydraulic conductance (i.e., not scaled to leaf area). The higher KL.p in burned sites was manifested as an increase in gs rather than an increase in Ψleaf. Post-fire increases in gs should promote high rates of photosynthesis for recovery of carbohydrate reserves and aboveground biomass, which is particularly important for large-statured species that require more time to recover their pre-fire size.

SN - 00087475 AB - The ability to propagate and successfully reintroduce rare plant species is an important component in the conservation biologist's toolbox. Unfortunately for many species, propagation methods and details about the species' life histories, which can potentially inform reintroduction efforts, are often unknown. We describe for the first time the pseudoannual life cycle of rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulifolia Poiret [Primulaceae]) and techniques that we have used to vegetatively propagate and reintroduce this federally endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United States. Using simulated dormancy and controlled soil temperatures, we increased the number of collected viable rhizomes by approximately 76% over one growing season. At two translocation sites, stem numbers increased an average of 318 ± 145 SD % in five of seven test plots between 2004 and 2010. Using dormant-season-harvested rhizomes and/or reducing competition prior to transplanting via mowing or using herbicides greatly improved translocation success. Only plots receiving neither competition-reduction treatment and outplanted with summer harvested rhizomes showed reductions (73 ± 21 SD %) in the number of stems. Although limited flowering and no capsule production was detected at the translocation sites, a similar lack of sexual reproduction is common in many natural populations of L. asperulifolia. Overall, our results will allow the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and their conservation partners to more confidently pursue recovery goals for the species.

This paper presents the development of an improved sandbar migration model using a phase- and depth-resolving modeling approach. This new model includes interactions between waves and undertow and an empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity formulation that accounts for the phase dependency of turbulence on flow velocity and acceleration. The authors demonstrate through extensive model-data comparisons that these enhancements resulted in significant improvements in the predictive capability of the cross-shore sandbar migration beneath moderate and energetic waves. The comparison showed wave-undertow interaction playing a crucial role in cross-shore sediment transport. Waves increased the undertow-induced suspended-load flux during offshore sandbar migration, and a weak undertow suppressed the wave-induced onshore bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration. The proposed empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity significantly improved the prediction of onshore-directed bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration.

In some cases, little quantitative information exists about appropriate survey methods to determine occupancy or abundance of bats in forest systems. We quantitatively compared detection probabilities between 2 commonly used survey techniques for 2 bat species that are closely associated with bottomland hardwood stands in the southeastern United States. Passive acoustic surveys of echolocation calls were more likely than systematic roost searches to detect both Rafinesque's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus rafinesquii) and southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius) at 7 study areas in eastern Texas. Our results confirmed that numerous repeat visits (>15 acoustic-survey-nights) are necessary to have high confidence in detecting Rafinesque's big-eared bats; however, southeastern myotis were easier to detect. Our results emphasize the importance of quantitatively assessing survey methods prior to designing or implementing widespread survey programs for bats.

SN - 0364152X AB - Historically, headwater streams received limited protection and were subjected to extensive alteration from logging, farming, mining, and development activities. Despite these alterations, headwater streams provide essential ecological functions. This study examines proxy measures of biogeochemical function across a range of catchment alterations by tracking nutrient cycling (i.e., inputs, processing, and stream loading) with leaf litter fall, leaf litter decomposition, and water quality parameters. Nutrient input and processing remained highest in second growth forests (the least altered areas within the region), while recently altered locations transported higher loads of nutrients, sediments, and conductivity. Biogeochemical functional proxies of C and N input and processing significantly, positively correlated with rapid assessment results (Pearson coefficient = 0.67-0.81; P = 0.002-0.016). Additionally, stream loading equations demonstrate that N and P transport, sediment, and specific conductivity negatively correlated with rapid assessment scores (Pearson coefficient = 0.56-0.81; P = 0.002-0.048). The observed increase in stream loading with lower rapid assessment scores indicates that catchment alterations impact stream chemistry and that rapid assessments provide useful proxy measures of function in headwater ecosystems. Significant differences in nutrient processing, stream loading, water quality, and rapid assessment results were also observed between recently altered (e.g., mined) headwater streams and older forested catchments (Mann-Whitney U = 24; P = 0.01-0.024). Findings demonstrate that biogeochemical function is reduced in altered catchments, and rapid assessment scores respond to a combination of alteration type and recovery time. An analysis examining time and economic requirements of proxy measurements highlights the benefits of rapid assessment methods in evaluating biogeochemical functions.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 616 EP - 620 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Triaminoguanidinium-1-methyl-5-nitriminotetrazolate (TAG-MNT) is a nitrogen-rich energetic compound being developed as a potential component of insensitive munition formulations. The purpose of the present study was to assess the toxicity of TAG-MNT to the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata as well as to determine whether the high N content of TAG-MNT could result in increased algal growth in aquatic systems and potentially contribute to eutrophication using a 96-h algal growth bioassay in N-limited test media. Results were compared with algal exposures to current-use energetics 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and royal demolition explosive (RDX). The TNT exposure resulted in a lowest-observed-adverse-effect concentration (LOAEC) for algal growth of 1.72 mg/L and a 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) and 95% confidence limits of 0.972 mg/L (0.955, 0.973). The RDX algal growth LOAEC was 0.10 mg/L, and the RDX IC50 was 0.635 (0.416, 0.875). Neither TNT nor RDX exposure resulted in stimulation of algal growth. In repeated testing, TAG-MNT exposure resulted in LOAECs of 0.55 and 5.20 mg/L. Stimulation of algal growth was observed at 0.06 mg/L at a mean increase of 163.2% (± 71.7) relative to the control in TAG-MNT test A and at the 0.005 mg/L treatment at a mean increase of 174.3% (± 59.9) in TAG-MNT test B. The authors' results indicate the potential for high-N energetics to significantly stimulate algal growth at low concentrations in N-limited systems.

JO - Knowledge & Management of Aquatic Ecosystems JF - Knowledge & Management of Aquatic Ecosystems Y1 - 2014/01// IS - 412 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - EDP Sciences SN - 19619502 AB - Floodplain connectivity is important to aquatic organisms in large rivers. Anthropogenic alterations regulating the Missouri River have limited connectivity and negatively affected native fauna. Determining the biological response to rare inundation events may be important when considering potential restoration options on a regulated river; thus, we assessed benthic invertebrate and zooplankton communities at three floodplain sites during a historic Missouri River high-water event. Chironomid larvae dominated during most sampling trips and densities were often highest during initial sampling trips with lower densities as high water persisted. Similar trends were evident for rotifer, cladoceran, and copepod densities. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling also showed relatively high dissimilarity of densities between early and late sampling trips for benthic invertebrate and zooplankton communities. As such, short-term inundation may be more beneficial to Missouri River benthic invertebrate (mainly chironomid larvae) and zooplankton production than more prolonged inundation lasting a month or more. Furthermore, restoration projects may be designed at elevations allowing more short-term inundation, which would likely benefit native fishes with additional spawning, nursery, and foraging habitat. Levee setbacks may be an effective restoration option for increasing the amount of habitat available for short-term inundation while potentially providing socioeconomic, flood-risk reduction benefits by enhancing flow conveyance.

Les modifications anthropogéniques de régulation de la rivière Missouri ont limité la connectivité et affecté négativement la faune indigène. Déterminer la réponse biologique à des événements d'inondation rares peut être important lors de l'examen des options de restauration possibles sur une rivière régulée ; nous avons étudié les communautés d'invertébrés benthiques et de zooplancton sur trois sites d'une plaine d'inondation de la rivière Missouri au cours d'un événement historique d'inondation. Les larves de chironomes sont dominantes pendant la plupart des campagnes d'échantillonnage; les densités étaient souvent plus élevées au cours des campagnes d'échantillonnage initiales et plus faibles quand la submersion persiste. Des tendances similaires sont trouvées pour les densités de rotifères, cladocères, et copépodes. L'analyse multidimensionnelle non métrique a également montré une dissemblance relativement élevée des densités entre campagnes d'échantillonnage précoces et tardives pour les communautés d'invertébrés benthiques et de zooplancton. En tant que telle, l'inondation à court terme peut être plus bénéfique à la production d'invertébrés benthiques (principalement les larves de chironomes) et de zooplancton de la rivière Missouri que les inondations de plus longue durée, d'un mois ou plus. En outre, les projets de restauration peuvent être conçus à des altitudes permettant des inondations de plus courte durée, qui seraient susceptibles de bénéficier aux poissons indigènes avec un habitat supplémentaire de fraie, de nurserie et d'alimentation. La rupture de digue peut être une option de restauration efficace pour augmenter la quantité d'habitat disponible lors d'inondations de courte durée, tout en fournissant potentiellement des bénéfices socio-économiques de réduction des risques d'inondation en améliorant les écoulements.

JO - Advances in Meteorology JF - Advances in Meteorology Y1 - 2014/01// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - Hindawi Publishing Corporation SN - 16879309 AB - The need for improved quantitative precipitation forecasts and realistic assessments of the regional impacts of natural climate variability and climate change has generated increased interest in regional (i.e., systems-scale) climate simulation. The Salton Sea Stochastic Simulation Model (S4M) was developed to assist planners and residents of the Salton Sea (SS) transboundary watershed (USA and Mexico) in making sound policy decisions regarding complex water-related issues. In order to develop the S4M with a higher degree of climate forecasting resolution, an in-depth analysis was conducted regarding precipitation and evapotranspiration for the semiarid region of the watershed. Weather station data were compiled for both precipitation and evapotranspiration from 1980 to 2004. Several logistic regression models were developed for determining the relationships among precipitation events, that is, duration and volume, and evapotranspiration levels. These data were then used to develop a stochastic weather generator for S4M. Analyses revealed that the cumulative effects and changes of ±10 percent in SS inflows can have significant effects on sea elevation and salinity. The aforementioned technique maintains the relationships between the historic frequency distributions of both precipitation and evapotranspiration, and not as separate unconnected and constrained variables.

In 2010-2011 we located nesting ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata) in a large group of radio-tagged animals. To minimize search efforts, we investigated whether automated radio telemetry and the signal change method could be used to identify nesting activity before locating animals. The signal change method relies on the principle that any movement of a radio transmitter, including minor changes in orientation, can strongly affect the intensity of the transmitter's signal at a stationary receiving station. Using video recordings of free-ranging radio-tagged turtles, we confirmed that transmitter signal strength values can be analyzed to identify periods of box turtle activity. Early in the 2010 nesting season, automated telemetry observations indicated that some females engaged in nocturnal activity. Previous reports indicate that ornate box turtles often nest at night but are otherwise inactive after dark. Based upon this information and relatively little indication of nocturnal activity by males, we hypothesized that nocturnal activity corresponded to nesting. We subsequently monitored female nighttime activity in near real time, hand-tracked four night-active individuals, and found three of these turtles nesting. In 2011 we again selectively hand-tracked night-active females and located nests for 12 of 18 study animals, which approximates the expected annual reproductive rate for our population. We demonstrate that the signal change method can be used to identify nesting activity in ornate box turtles and suggest this method may be of use in other species that nest outside of their normal activity periods.

Seventy specimens collected between 2001 and 2010 (99%: 2006-2010) were dissected and gut contents analyzed. The macrohabitats and habits associated with sturgeon prey items (primarily benthic macroinvertebrates) were used to make inferences about habitat use by young-of-year river stnrgeon. These findings indicate that young river sturgeon inhabiting the Lower Mississippi River feed primarily over sandy benthos, most likely in channel habitats. The majority of prey items (64.0%) consumed by young-of-year river sturgeon belong to a single subgroup of Chironomidae (Diptera: Chironominae: Harnischia complex) of which several genera, including Chernovskiia, Cryptochironomus, Gillotia, Paracladopelma, Robackia, and Saetheria, are known to be primary inhabitants of this macrohabitat.

SN - 0364152X AB - Healthy seagrass is considered a prime indicator of estuarine ecosystem function. On the Pacific coast of North America, at least two congeners of Zostera occur: native Zostera marina, and introduced, Zostera japonica. Z. japonica is considered 'invasive' and therefore, ecologically and economically harmful by some, while others consider it benign or perhaps beneficial. Z. japonica does not appear on the Federal or the Oregon invasive species or noxious weed lists. However, the State of California lists it as both an invasive and noxious weed; Washington State recently listed it as a noxious weed. We describe the management dynamics in North America with respect to these congener species and highlight the science and policies behind these decisions. In recent years, management strategies at the state level have ranged from historical protection of Z. japonica as a priority habitat in Washington to eradication in California. Oregon and British Columbia, Canada appear to have no specific policies with regard to Z. japonica. This fractured management approach contradicts efforts to conserve and protect seagrass in other regions of the US and around the world. Science must play a critical role in the assessment of Z. japonica ecology and the immediate and long-term effects of management actions. The information and recommendations provided here can serve as a basis for providing scientific data in order to develop better informed management decisions and aid in defining a uniform management strategy for Z. japonica.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - There is a threat for dengue virus (DENV) reemergence in many regions of the world, particularly in areas where the DENV vectors, Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse), are readily available. However, there are currently no accurate and reliable diagnostic methods to provide critical, real-time information for early detection of DENV within the vector populations to implement appropriate vector control and personal protective measures. In this article, we report the ability of an immuno-chromatographic assay developed by VecTOR Test Systems Inc. to detect DENV in a pool of female Aedes mosquitoes infected with any of the four viral serotypes. The DENV dipstick assay was simple to use, did not require a cold chain, and provided clear results within 30 min. It was highly specific and did not cross-react with samples spiked with West Nile, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, chikungunya, Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis, Ross River, LaCrosse, or Caraparu viruses. The DENV assay can provide real-time critical information on the presence of DENV in mosquitoes to public health personnel. Results from this assay will allow a rapid threat assessment and the focusing of vector control measures in high-risk areas.

Number of References: 70 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is a rodent-borne hantavirus that causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) predominantly in North America. SNV infection of immunocompetent hamsters results in an asymptomatic infection; the only lethal disease model for a pathogenic hantavirus is Andes virus (ANDV) infection of Syrian hamsters. Efforts to create a lethal SNV disease model in hamsters by repeatedly passaging virus through the hamster have demonstrated increased dissemination of the virus but no signs of disease. In this study, we demonstrate that immunosuppression of hamsters through the administration of a combination of dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide, followed by infection with SNV, results in a vascular leak syndrome that accurately mimics both HPS disease in humans and ANDV infection of hamsters. Immunosuppressed hamsters infected with SNV have a mean number of days to death of 13 and display clinical signs associated with HPS, including pulmonary edema. Viral antigen was widely detectable throughout the pulmonary endothelium. Histologic analysis of lung sections showed marked inflammation and edema within the alveolar septa of SNV-infected hamsters, results which are similar to what is exhibited by hamsters infected with ANDV. Importantly, SNV-specific neutralizing polyclonal antibody administered 5 days after SNV infection conferred significant protection against disease. This experiment not only demonstrated that the disease was caused by SNV, it also demonstrated the utility of this animal model for testing candidate medical countermeasures. This is the first report of lethal disease caused by SNV in an adult small-animal model.

This paper describes characteristics of audio, tactile, and multimodal warning displays and their role in risk communications. The authors demonstrate that visual-auditory and visual-tactile displays can be significantly more effective than visual displays alone in enhancing user performance. The authors describe signal design guidelines, and illustrate the importance of knowledge of user attentional constraints and limitations in effectively using multimodal displays to communicate safety information. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future multimodal warning display design and research are presented.

Symptoms often present themselves after several minutes of running, yet the effect of fatigue warrants further exploration. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a run to fatigue in runners with iliotibial band syndrome, as compared to healthy controls. Methods Twenty uninjured and 12 female runners with iliotibial band syndrome performed a treadmill run to fatigue. Prior-to and following a run to fatigue, overground running data were collected. Variables of interest included stance phase: peak hip adduction and internal rotation, peak hip abductor and external rotator joint moments and frontal-sagittal plane hip and knee joint coupling. Findings Fatigue resulted in decreased peak hip adduction angles in injured runners. Fatigue did not affect injured runners differently than controls with respect to the remaining variables. Coupling differences did not exist between healthy and injured runners with respect to the loading or propulsive phases of stance. Interpretation While clinicians often strengthen hip abductor muscles and provide gait re-training to decrease stance phase hip adduction, our results suggest that, when exerted, female runners with iliotibial band syndrome independently modify their running gait to decrease hip adduction, potentially as a result of pain. Fatigue did not have an effect on the remaining study variables. It is possible that reducing the length of the iliotibial band through minimizing hip adduction reduces pain, but the other variables examined are not sensitive to this phenomenon.

The importance of Rho kinase as a mediator of the effects of angiotensin-II (AngII) in the periphery is clear, but the role of Rho kinase in sympathoexcitation caused by central AngII is not well established. We hypothesized that AngII mediates its effects in the brain by the activation of the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway. Chronically instrumented, conscious rabbits received the following intracerebroventricular infusion treatments for 2 weeks via osmotic minipump: AngII, Rho kinase inhibitor Fasudil, AngII plus Fasudil, or a vehicle control. AngII increased mean arterial pressure over the course of the infusion, and this effect was prevented by the coadministration of Fasudil. AngII increased cardiac and vascular sympathetic outflow as quantified by the heart rate response to metoprolol and the depressor effect of hexamethonium; coadministration of Fasudil abolished both of these effects. AngII increased baseline renal sympathetic nerve activity in conscious animals and impaired baroreflex control of sympathetic nerve activity; again Fasudil coinfusion prevented these effects. Each of these end points showed a statistically significant interaction between AngII and Fasudil. Quantitative immunofluorescence of brain slices confirmed that Rho kinase activity was increased by AngII and decreased by Fasudil. Taken together, these data indicate that hypertension, elevated sympathetic outflow, and baroreflex dysfunction caused by central AngII are mediated by Rho kinase activation and suggest that Rho kinase inhibition may be an important therapeutic target in sympathoexcitatory cardiovascular diseases.

Our objective was to analyze the rankings of tasks by SWAT officers based on frequency, difficulty, and importance and assess if training is addressing traits needed for successful task completion. A survey was designed using Qualtrics (Qualtrics Labs Inc). The survey had a demographics section, performance section, and training section. Officers were contacted by phone or e-mail and asked about interest in participating. Officers who agreed were sent the survey. Our results found a strong correlation between frequency of task and importance (r = 0.69, p = 0.001), and a moderate correlation was found between task difficulty and importance (r = 0.37, p = 0.005). Task rankings were averaged across the 3 domains to assess "overall" importance, and the top 3 tasks were assessed for necessary traits for successful performance. Power and strength were determined to be the most important traits for successful performance. Officers ranked the top 2 focuses of their training program in the training section as stamina/muscular endurance and cardiovascular/respiratory endurance. Training programs for SWAT officers should be developed to improve performance of the tasks with the highest "overall" importance. Therefore, a training program should emphasize strength and power improvements while not neglecting other measures of fitness.

A metric to quantify the dead spot as a kinetic event has not yet been introduced. The present study implements a three-part metric to evaluate the dead spot in terms of time, magnitude, and total area using center of pressure velocity and a novel threshold value calculation. Methods The metrics are implemented for proof of efficacy using a convenient sample of four amputees (2 transtibial, 2 transfemoral) who walked in a 3D motion capture system with integrated force plates over five foot conditions. Findings “Continuous-lever” feet designs showed the most favorable metric results between subjects ( p < 0.05) and in an ad hoc analysis compared to an ideal foot condition within subjects ( p > 0.05). Ten of 18 (55.6%) foot conditions found to be similar to the ideal were continuous-lever feet. Lack of significant similarity between the feet and ideal conditions (1 of 18, 5.6%) were found in transfemoral subjects. Interpretation The metric calculations were able to show statistical difference among foot conditions between subjects. One foot (continuous-lever, glass composite) had no detectable dead spot in the transtibial subjects. The lack of significant findings in transfemoral subjects indicates a different coefficient in threshold calculations may be more appropriate for these subjects versus transtibial subjects. Further research with larger sample is needed to determine clinically significant findings among feet and between transtibial and transfemoral subjects.

Even though this problem is widespread, there have been limited attempts to implement risk-based approaches for testing and supply chain management. Supply chain risk management tends to focus on the highly visible disruptions of the supply chain instead of the covert entrance of counterfeits; thus counterfeit risk is difficult to mitigate. This article provides an overview of the complexities of the electronics supply chain, and highlights some gaps in risk assessment practices. In particular, this article calls for enhanced traceability capabilities to track and trace parts at risk through various stages of the supply chain. Placing the focus on risk-informed decision making through the following strategies is needed, including prioritization of high-risk parts, moving beyond certificates of conformance, incentivizing best supply chain management practices, adoption of industry standards, and design and management for supply chain resilience.

We integrate multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) results (LCA-MCDA) as a method of incorporating values of a hypothetical federal acquisition manager into the assessment of risks and benefits of emerging photovoltaic materials. Specifically, we compare adoption of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) devices with molybdenum back contacts to alternative devices employing graphite or graphene instead of molybdenum. LCA impact results are interpreted alongside benefits of substitution including cost reductions and performance improvements through application of multi-attribute utility theory. To assess the role of uncertainty we apply Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis. We find that graphene or graphite back contacts outperform molybdenum under most scenarios and assumptions. The use of decision analysis clarifies potential advantages of adopting graphite as a back contact while emphasizing the importance of mitigating conventional impacts of graphene production processes if graphene is used in emerging CZTS devices. Our research further demonstrates that a combination of LCA and MCDA increases the usability of LCA in assessing product sustainability. In particular, this approach identifies the most influential assumptions and data gaps in the analysis and the areas in which either engineering controls or further data collection may be necessary.

The performance of chest seals to prevent tension physiology depends partially on their ability to adhere to the skin and seal the chest wound. Novel non-occlusive vented chest seals were assessed for their adhesiveness on skin of live swine under normal and extreme environmental conditions to simulate austere battlefield conditions.Methods: Chest seals were applied on the back of the swine on skin that was soiled by various environmental contaminants to represent battlefield situations. A peeling (horizontal rim peeling) and detachment and breaching (vertical pulling) techniques were used to quantify the adhesive performance of vented chest seals. Among eight initially selected vented seals, five (Bolin, Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) were further down-selected based on their superior adherence scores at ambient temperatures. The adherence of these seals was then assessed after approximately 17h storage at extreme cold (-19.5°C) and hot (71.5°C) temperatures.Results: Adherence scores for peeling (above 90%) and detachment scores (less than 25%) were comparable for four vented chest seals when tested at ambient temperature, except for the Bolin seal which had higher breaching. Under extreme storage temperatures, adherence peeling scores were comparable to those at ambient temperatures for four chest seals. Scores were significantly lower for the Bolin seal at extreme temperatures. This seal also had the highest detachment and breaching scores. In contrast, the Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM seals showed similar ability to stay air tight without breaching after hot storage.Conclusion: No significant difference was found in skin adherence of the five vented chest seals at ambient temperature and the four seals (Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) maintained superior adherence even after exposure to extreme temperatures compared to the Bolin. To select the most effective product from the 5 selected vented chest seals, further functional evaluation of the valve of these chest seals on a chest wound with the potential for tension in the pneumothorax or hemopneumothorax is warranted.

SNS responses to a series of 15 1-s, 82 dB, white noise bursts were measured by skin conductance (SC) and SAFE monitoring of SPA on the fingers (FiP) and face (FaP) in 10 participants with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 16 trauma-exposed participants without PTSD ( Mage = 48.92 ± 12.00 years; 26.9% female). Within participants, SC and FiP responses across trials were strongly correlated ( r = .92, p < .001). Correlations between SC and FaP ( r = .76, p = .001) and between FiP and FaP ( r = .47, p = .005) were smaller. The habituation of SNS responses across the 15 trials was substantial (SC: d = −2.97; FiP: d = −2.34; FaP: d = −1.02). There was a strong correlation between habituation effects for SC and FiP ( r = .76, p < .001), but not for SC and FaP ( r = .15, p = .45) or FiP and FaP ( r = .29, p = .16). Participants with PTSD showed larger SNS responses to the first loud noise than those without PTSD. PTSD reexperiencing symptoms assessed by the PTSD Checklist on the day of testing were associated with the SNS responses to the first loud noise measured by SC ( d = 1.19) and FiP ( d = .99), but not FaP ( d = .10). This study confirms convergence of SAFE and SC as valid measures of SNS activity. SAFE FiP and SC responses were highly predictive of self-rated PTSD reexperiencing symptoms. SAFE may offer an attractive alternative for applications in PTSD and similar populations.

Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare transosseous and screw-in anchor repair techniques to determine if there is a difference in gap formation and load to failure of the 2 constructs. The research hypotheses were that the anchor construct would have significantly less gap formation and would also have significantly greater load-to-failure strength. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 24 porcine specimens were randomly assigned into transosseous and 4.75-mm polyetheretherketone (PEEK) screw-in anchor repair groups. The repairs were then completed using 2 No. 2 FiberWire sutures, and each specimen was cyclically loaded on a tensile test machine to 250 N for a total of 1000 cycles. Gap formation was measured at 1, 10, 250, 500, and 1000 cycles. Each specimen was loaded to failure after 1000 cycles. Independent t tests were conducted. Results: Statistically significant gap formation and load-to-failure differences were found between the 2 repair techniques. The mean gap in the anchor group (2.16 ± 1.81 mm) was significantly less than that seen in the transosseous group (5.71 ± 1.58 mm) (P < .001). The mean load to failure of the anchor group (669.9 ± 91.8 N) was significantly higher than that of the transosseous group (582.8 ± 92.6 N) (P = .03). Conclusion: The results support the 2 study hypotheses. These findings suggest that the 4.75-mm PEEK screw-in anchor construct may be superior to the transosseous technique for minimizing gap formation and improving load-to-failure strength after surgical repair of the patellar tendon. Clinical Relevance: The use of the suture anchor technique in patellar tendon repair may support early load-bearing rehabilitation.

SP - 1 EP - 12 JO - Nutrition Journal JF - Nutrition Journal JA - NUTR J VL - 15 PB - BioMed Central AB - Background: Alcohol is a significant component of the diet with dose-dependent risks and benefits. High doses of alcohol damage the liver and early symptoms of liver disease include changes in routinely assessed liver enzymes. Less is known regarding the mechanisms responsible for the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, including their effects on the liver. The objectives of this study were to examine alcohol's dose-dependent effects on markers of liver function (alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), and bilirubin), as well as to compare the different methods of assessing alcohol intake using NHANES 2001-2010 adult data (N = 24,807).Methods: Three methods were used to estimate alcohol intake from all volunteers: 24-h recall; the National Cancer Institute (NCI) method of usual intake; and a specific alcohol intake questionnaire.Results: Mean alcohol intake by 24-h recall, NCI method and questionnaire was 41.0 ± 0.8 g/d, 10.9 ± 0.2 g/d and 11.0 ± 0.2 g/d, respectively. Alcohol consumers had significantly lower levels of ALP and higher levels of AST, GGT and bilirubin compared to non-consumers (P < 0.01) and activities of ALT, AST, and GGT increased and of ALP decreased as alcohol intake increased, regardless of intake assessment method used. The most sensitive measure of alcohol consumption was GGT.Conclusions: Since alcohol had a graded linear effect on several liver enzymes, including at low and moderate doses, benefits as well as risks of alcohol intake may be related to liver function. Since the NCI method and alcohol questionnaire yielded very similar alcohol intake estimates, this study cross-validated these methods and demonstrated the robustness of the NCI method for estimating intake of irregularly consumed foods.

Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

Participants were predominantly white (57%), Army (91%), enlisted (72%), males (71%), with a mean age of 30 ± 9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0 ± 4.2 kg/m(2). The cross-sectional, descriptive study included active duty service members (n = 295) recruited from Texas and Washington. Validated Motivation for Eating Scale (MFES) and Intuitive Eating Scale were administered and BMI (m/kg(2)) was dichotomized at <25 or ≥25 kg/m(2). Descriptive, correlation, t-test, and logistic regression analysis were conducted for BMI category with demographic, lifestyle, and MFES/Intuitive Eating Scale scores (α = 0.05; 80% power). Thirty-six percent were normal BMI (22.7 ± 1.6 kg/m(2)) and 64% were overweight/obese BMI (29.3 ± 3.3 kg/m(2)). Mean BMI was 27.8 ± 4.2 kg/m(2) (males) and 24.8 ± 3.4 kg/m(2) (females) (p < 0.001). Physical MFES type was predominant (77% normal BMI vs. 66% overweight; p = 0.001). Males ate for physical rather than emotional reasons (p = 0.014). Each 1-point increase in Reliance on Internal Hunger Satiety Score was associated with 34% lower odds of being overweight. Disparity existed between sex and intuitive eating characteristic. Increasing awareness of eating influences may improve weight-related dietary behaviors. SN - 0026-4075 AD - U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, 15 Kansas Street, Natick, MA 01760.

Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

The four family types are balanced, moderately balanced, midrange, and extreme. The five personality traits are extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness, emotional stability, and conscientiousness. Data were collected through anonymous questionnaires distributed to combat-naïve Soldiers at the beginning of their advanced individual training. This study utilized the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale1 and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory2 as measures. Overall the analyses found that participants classified as a balanced family type scored significantly higher on the personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience than those classified in the family types of extreme, midrange, and moderately balanced. It appears that family types are associated with personality traits. This study opens doors to future research including looking at how family and personality types relate to each other in military units and personnel.

SP - 205 EP - 213 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 181 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Background: Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU) work is necessarily complex and depends on clinician actions, resources, and variable patient responses to interventions. Clinicians use large volumes of data that are condensed in time, but separated across resources, to care for patients. Correctly designed health information technology (IT) systems may help clinicians to treat these patients more efficiently, accurately, and reliably. We report on a 3-year project to design and develop an ecologically valid IT system for use in a military BICU.Methods: We use a mixed methods Cognitive Systems Engineering approach for research and development. Observations, interviews, artifact analysis, survey, and thematic analysis methods were used to reveal underlying factors that mold the work environment and affect clinician decisions that may affect patient outcomes. Participatory design and prototyping methods have been used to develop solutions.Results: We developed 39 requirements for the IT system and used them to create three use cases to help developers better understand how the system might support clinician work to develop interface prototypes. We also incorporated data mining functions that offer the potential to aid clinicians by recognizing patterns recognition of clinically significant events, such as incipient sepsis. The gaps between information sources and accurate, reliable, and efficient clinical decision that we have identified will enable us to create scenarios to evaluate prototype systems with BICU clinicians, to develop increasingly improved designs, and to measure outcomes.Conclusion: The link from data to analyses, requirements, prototypes, and their evaluation ensures that the solution will reflect and support work in the BICU as it actually occurs, improving staff efficiency and patient care quality.

Limited data have been reported on analgesic administration en route, and no study has reported analgesic use by CCATTs. Our objective was to describe analgesics used by CCATTs for nonintubated, critically ill patients during evacuation from a combat setting.Methods: We conducted an institutional review board-approved, retrospective review of CCATT records. We included nonintubated, critically ill patients who were administered analgesics in flight and were evacuated out of theater (2007-2012). Demographics, injury description, analgesics and anesthetics, and predefined clinical adverse events were recorded. Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation or percentage (%).Results: Of 1,128 records, we analyzed 381 subjects with the following characteristics: age 26 ± 7.0 years; 98% male; and 97% trauma (70% blast, 17% penetrating, 11% blunt, and 3% burn). The injury severity score was 19 ± 9. Fifty-one percent received morphine, 39% hydromorphone, 15% fentanyl, and 5% ketamine. Routes of delivery were 63% patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), 32% bolus intravenous (IV) administration, 24% epidural delivery, 21% continuous IV infusions, and 9% oral opioids. Patients that were administered local anesthetics (nerve block or epidural delivery) with IV opioids received a lower total dose of opioids than those who received opioids alone. No differences were associated between analgesics and frequency of complications in flight or postflight.Conclusion: About half of nonintubated, critically ill subjects evacuated out of combat by CCATT received morphine and more than half had a PCA. In our study, ketamine was not frequently used and pain scores were rarely recorded. However, we detected an opioid-sparing effect associated with local anesthetics (regional nerve blocks and epidural delivery).

The objective of this study was to identify associations between preflight variables and outcomes that could assist planning of ongoing critical care.Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study included all patients evacuated from Afghanistan by CCATT between 2007 and 2011. Preflight variables were assessed for associations and examined in logistic regression models. Ventilator time over 72 hours, and 30-day mortality were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively.Results: 1,308 trauma patients (24 years, 98% male) were included; 72% blast. Injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), preflight packed red blood cell units transfused (OR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]), and preflight intubated status (OR = 11.9 [8.53-16.89]) were independently associated with increased ventilator days; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.85 with 86% sensitivity and 56% specificity.

This study investigated its dose effects on in vitro coagulation in human and pig blood.Methods: Blood samples were collected from 6 normal volunteers and 6 healthy pigs and processed to make platelet-adjusted samples (100 × 10(3)/μL, common transfusion trigger in trauma). Ibuprofen was added to the samples at concentrations of 0 μg/mL (control), the concentration from the highest recommended oral dose (163 μg/mL, 1×), and 2×, 4×, 8×, 10×, 12×, 16×, and 20×. Platelet aggregation by Chrono-Log aggregometer and coagulation by rotational thrombelastogram (Rotem) were assessed at 15 minutes after the addition of ibuprofen.Results: A robust inhibition of ibuprofen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed at all doses tested in human or pig blood. Collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was inhibited starting at 1× in human blood and 4× in pig blood. Rotem measurements were similarly compromised in pig and human blood starting at 16×, except clot formation time was prolonged at 1× in human blood (all p < 0.05).Conclusion: Ibuprofen inhibited platelet aggregation at recommended doses, and compromised coagulation at higher doses. Human blood was more sensitive to ibuprofen inhibition. Further effort is needed to investigate ibuprofen dose responses on coagulation in vivo.

Thus, we expand on our previous meta-analytic foundation in the field of human-robot interaction to include all of automation interaction.Method: We used meta-analysis to assess trust in automation. Thirty studies provided 164 pairwise effect sizes, and 16 studies provided 63 correlational effect sizes.Results: The overall effect size of all factors on trust development was ḡ = +0.48, and the correlational effect was [Formula: see text]  = +0.34, each of which represented medium effects. Moderator effects were observed for the human-related (ḡ  = +0.49; [Formula: see text] = +0.16) and automation-related (ḡ = +0.53; [Formula: see text] = +0.41) factors. Moderator effects specific to environmental factors proved insufficient in number to calculate at this time.Conclusion: Findings provide a quantitative representation of factors influencing the development of trust in automation as well as identify additional areas of needed empirical research.Application: This work has important implications to the enhancement of current and future human-automation interaction, especially in high-risk or extreme performance environments.

AB - Objective: We investigated the effects of level of agent transparency on operator performance, trust, and workload in a context of human-agent teaming for multirobot management.Background: Participants played the role of a heterogeneous unmanned vehicle (UxV) operator and were instructed to complete various missions by giving orders to UxVs through a computer interface. An intelligent agent (IA) assisted the participant by recommending two plans-a top recommendation and a secondary recommendation-for every mission.Method: A within-subjects design with three levels of agent transparency was employed in the present experiment. There were eight missions in each of three experimental blocks, grouped by level of transparency. During each experimental block, the IA was incorrect three out of eight times due to external information (e.g., commander's intent and intelligence). Operator performance, trust, workload, and usability data were collected.Results: Results indicate that operator performance, trust, and perceived usability increased as a function of transparency level. Subjective and objective workload data indicate that participants' workload did not increase as a function of transparency. Furthermore, response time did not increase as a function of transparency.Conclusion: Unlike previous research, which showed that increased transparency resulted in increased performance and trust calibration at the cost of greater workload and longer response time, our results support the benefits of transparency for performance effectiveness without additional costs.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of IAs in military settings and will provide useful data to the design of heterogeneous UxV teams.

After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals. SN - 0026-4075 AD - Texas Tech & Texas Tech University Health Sciences System, 703 Flint Avenue, Lubbock, TX 79409.

Its treatment by surgical fasciotomy continues to be useful but controversial. The purpose of this survey is to measure survival and fasciotomy in a large trauma system to characterize trends and to determine if fasciotomy is associated with improved survival.Methods: We retrospectively surveyed data from a military trauma registry for U.S. casualties from 2001 to 2010. Casualties had extremity injury or extremity fasciotomy. We associated survival and fasciotomy.Results: Of 17,166 casualties in the total study, 19% (3,313) had fasciotomy and 2.8% (481) had compartment syndrome. Annual fasciotomy rates started at 0% (2001) and rose to 26% (2010). For all casualties, the survival rate initially was high (100%) but decreased steadily until its nadir (96.4%) in 2005. Thereafter, it increased to make a V-shaped trend with reversal occurring after fielding two interventions within the trauma system specifically for casualties at risk for fasciotomy-tourniquet use and a fasciotomy education program.Conclusions: Over a decade of war, the survival rate of extremity injured casualties was associated with two trauma system interventions-tourniquet usage and a fasciotomy education program. The current example of measuring implementation of initiatives may be useful as a model for future attempted improvements in health care.

SP - S190 EP - S202 JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion JA - TRANSFUSION VL - 56 CY - Malden, Massachusetts PB - Wiley-Blackwell AB - Recent combat experience reignited interest in transfusing whole blood (WB) for patients with life-threatening bleeding. US Army data indicate that WB transfusion is associated with improved or comparable survival compared to resuscitation with blood components. These data complement randomized controlled trials that indicate that platelet (PLT)-containing blood products stored at 4°C have superior hemostatic function, based on reduced bleeding and improved functional measures of hemostasis, compared to PLT-containing blood products at 22°C. WB is rarely available in civilian hospitals and as a result is rarely transfused for patients with hemorrhagic shock. Recent developments suggest that impediments to WB availability can be overcome, specifically the misconceptions that WB must be ABO specific, that WB cannot be leukoreduced and maintain PLTs, and finally that cold storage causes loss of PLT function. Data indicate that the use of low anti-A and anti-B titer group O WB is safe as a universal donor, WB can be leukoreduced with PLT-sparing filters, and WB stored at 4°C retains PLT function during 15 days of storage. The understanding that these perceived barriers are not insurmountable will improve the availability of WB and facilitate its use. In addition, there are logistic and economic advantages of WB-based resuscitation compared to component therapy for hemorrhagic shock. The use of low-titer group O WB stored for up to 15 days at 4°C merits further study to compare its efficacy and safety with current resuscitation approaches for all patients with life-threatening bleeding.

SP - S182 EP - S189 JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion JA - TRANSFUSION VL - 56 CY - Malden, Massachusetts PB - Wiley-Blackwell AB - Hemorrhagic shock is both a local and systemic disorder. In the context of systemic effects, blood loss may lead to levels of reduced oxygen delivery (DO2 ) sufficient to cause tissue ischemia. Similar to other physiologic debts such as sleep, it is not possible to incur a significant oxygen debt and suffer no consequences for lack of timely repayment. While the linkage between oxygen debt and traditional organ failure (renal, hepatic, lung, and circulation) has been long recognized, we should consider failure in two additional linked and very dynamic organ systems, the endothelium and blood. These systems are very sensitive to oxygen debt and at risk for failing, having further implications on all other organ systems. The degree of damage to the endothelium is largely modulated by the degree of oxygen debt. Thus hypoperfusion is believed to begin a cascade of events leading to acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC). This combination of oxygen debt driven endothelial damage and ATC might be considered collectively as "blood failure" due to the highly connected networks between these drivers. This article presents the implications of oxygen debt for remote damage control resuscitation strategies, such as permissive hypotension and hemostatic resuscitation. We review the impact of whole blood resuscitation and red blood cell efficacy in mitigation of oxygen debt. At last, this article recognizes the need for simple and durable, lightweight equipment that can detect the adequacy of tissue DO2 and thus patient needs for resuscitative care. Point-of-care lactate measuring may be a predictive tool for identifying high-risk trauma patients and occult shock because it provides information beyond that of vital signs and mechanism of injury as it may help predict the level of oxygen debt accumulation and need for resuscitation. Serial measurements may also be valuable as a tool in guiding resuscitative efforts.

AB - Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are commonly comorbid with anxiety and mood disorders; however, a strategy for AUD prevention remains unclear in the presence of three competing etiological models that each recommends different high-risk groups. Therefore, the investigation of the three hypotheses in a characteristically unique cohort is critical to identifying pervasive characteristics of AUD that can inform a universal prevention strategy. The current study evaluated the temporality and onset of comorbid AUD and psychiatric disorders in a representative sample of 528 Ohio Army National Guard soldiers using structured clinical interviews from 2009 to 2012. We examined temporality both statistically and graphically to identify patterns that could inform prevention. General estimating equations with dichotomous predictor variables were used to estimate odds ratios between comorbid psychiatric disorders and AUDs. An annualized rate of 13.5 % persons per year was diagnosed with any AUD between 2010 and 2012. About an equal proportion of participants with comorbid psychiatric disorders and AUD initiated the psychiatric disorder prior to the AUD and half initiated the psychiatric disorder after the AUD. Regardless of onset, however, the majority (80 %) AUD initiated during a short interval between the ages of 16 and 23. Focused primary prevention during this narrow age range (16-23 years) may have the greatest potential to reduce population mental health burden of AUD, irrespective of the sequencing of comorbid psychiatric disorder.

Evidence has suggested that lipid emulsion infusion therapy has been successful in the treatment of antidepressant overdose. No studies have determined the optimal combination of lipid/advanced cardiovascular life support therapy for treatment.Methods: This study was a prospective, experimental, between subjects design with a swine model investigating the effectiveness of drug combinations administered with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) postvenlafexine overdose. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of eight groups containing seven subjects. The groups tested were CPR only and CPR with epinephrine alone; vasopressin alone; lipid alone; epinephrine and vasopressin; epinephrine and lipid; vasopressin and lipid; and epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipid. The outcomes of interest were survival odds and time to return of spontaneous circulation.Results: Results on these swine models indicate that the use of vasopressin coupled with lipids for venlafaxine overdose resulted in a higher survival rate when compared to the control group (p = 0.023). Groups receiving vasopressin experienced statistically faster times to return of spontaneous circulation than other groups (p = 0.019).Conclusions: The results suggest that in swine models, the optimal treatment for venlafaxine overdose would include vasopressin with lipids.

This article provides a practical solution for reducing network traffic analysis data while expediting test and evaluation. From small lab testing to full integration test events, quality of service and other key metrics of military systems and networks are evaluated. Network data captured in standard flow formats enable scalable approaches for producing network traffic analyses. Because of its compact representation of network traffic, flow data naturally scale well. Some analyses require deep packet inspection, but many can be calculated/approximated quickly with flow data, including quality-of-service metrics like completion rate and speed of service.

On casual inspection, this simple matter of removing or excising a specific amount of central corneal avascular tissue is a smooth, seamless alteration with few apparent secondary issues or sequelae. Normal postoperative recovery is typically gauged by the recovery of high-contrast visual acuity to the same (or better) degree as was previously obtained with a spectacle correction. However, although this is an acceptable means of determining operative success, it is not indicative of the complex challenges imposed upon the neurosensory system. The secondarily imposed strain upon the visual system, regarding the return to its pre-existing visual line-of-sight organization occurs only by bringing multiple adaptations into subtle and seamless play. This process is initiated and completed in a relatively short time period, such that most patients (but not all) are not even marginally aware of the challenges imposed to the visual system. This article is meant to probe those system challenges, serving to highlight this postoperative plasticity, seeking to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the perceptual range of the visual recovery process.

This study investigated its dose-effects on in vitro coagulation. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 4 normal healthy pigs and were processed to make platelet-adjusted (100 x 103/µL) blood samples. Ibuprofen was added to the samples at doses of 0 µg/mL (control), recommended oral dose (163 µg/mL, lx), 2 x , 4 x , 8 x , 1 0 x , 1 2 x , 1 6 x , and 20 x . Arachidonic acid or collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was assessed at 15 minutes after the addition of ibuprofen. Coagulation was assessed with measurements of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and thrombelastography by Rotem. Results: A robust inhibition of ibuprofen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed at all doses tested. Collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was inhibited to 71% ± 5% and 10% ± 5% of the control values at ibuprofen doses of 4 x and 20 x , respectively (both p < 0.05). No changes were observed in PT at any dose, but aPTT was prolonged at dose of 16 x and 20 x . Rotem measurements of coagulation time, clot formation time, maximum clot firmness, and A10 were compromised at dose 16 x and 20 x (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Ibuprofen inhibited platelet aggregation at recommended doses, but did not compromise aPTT or coagulation profile until at 16 times the recommended doses and higher. Further effort is needed to clarify whether there are different dose-responses between human and pig blood samples in trauma situations.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all U.S. soldiers who underwent thoracotomy in theater during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After individualized review, patients in extremis or who lost pulses and had their thoracotomy performed within 10 minutes of arrival to the emergency department were included. The primary outcome was survival at final hospital discharge, and secondary outcomes included demographics associated with survival. Results: Between January 2003 and May 2010, 81 U.S. military personnel met inclusion criteria for RT in theater. As low as 6.7% (3/45) of patients receiving prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation were alive at final hospital discharge. Survival from RT after explosive/ blast injury, penetrating (gunshot wound), and blunt trauma were 16.3% (8/49), 0% (0/28), and 0% (0/4), respectively. Patients with primary explosive/blast extremity trauma undergoing RT had a survival of 27.3% (6/22). Higher initial oxygen saturations, larger volume of crystalloids and blood products infused, and higher extremity abbreviated injury score were all associated with survival. Conclusions: Combat casualties who present pulseless or in extremis who were injured as a result of an explosive/blast injury mechanism resulting in a primary extremity injury may have a survival benefit from undergoing a RT in an austere environment.

We evaluated the impact of the November 2008 blunt abdominal trauma clinical practice guideline that permitted selective nonoperative management of some patients with radiological suggestion of hemoperitoneum on implementation of nonoperative management (NOM) of splenic injury in austere environments. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of patients with splenic injuries from November 2002 through January 2012 in Iraq and Afghanistan was performed. International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification procedure codes identified patients as laparotomy with splenectomy, or NOM. Delayed operative management had no operative intervention at earlier North American Treaty Organization (NATO) medical treatment facilities (MTFs), and had a definitive intervention at a latter NATO MTFs. Intra-abdominal complications and overall mortality were juxtaposed. Results: A total of 433 patients had splenic injuries from 2002 to 2012. Initial NOM of BSI from 2002 to 2008 compared to 2009-2012 was 44.1% and 47.2%, respectively (p = 0.75). Delayed operative management and NOM completion had intra-abdominal complication and mortality rates of 38.1% and 9.1% (p < 0.01), and 6.3% and 8.1% ( p = 0.77). Conclusions: Despite high-energy explosive injuries, NATO Role II MTFs radiological constraints and limited medical resources, hemodynamically normal patients with BSI and low abdominal abbreviated injury scores underwent NOM in austere environments.

The purpose of this study was to predict TTP based on demographic characteristics (sex, age, height, and body mass index) and physiological variables (heart rate [HR], systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure [DAP], pulse pressure, stroke volume, total peripheral resistance [TPR], and baroreflex sensitivity [BRS]) at baseline, and during 2 levels of LBNP (-15, -30 mm Hg). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to create a model to predict TTP (range: 670 to 2516 seconds, n = 187) based on demographic characteristics and physiological variables changes (Δ) from baseline to -30 mm Hg LBNP. The prediction model revealed that TTP (seconds) = 1667.5 + (5.1 x Age) + (61.1 x Sex) -- (21.5 x ΔHR) + (55.3 x ADAP) -- (88.2 x ΔTPR) -- (4.9 x ΔBRS). Most significantly, our analysis demonstrated a lesser survival trajectory for females given the same rate and magnitude of hemorrhage compared to males. Young age and female sex are predictors of low tolerance to blood loss, and should be considered for early triage in the prehospital setting.

T1 - Prehospital and En Route Analgesic Use in the Combat Setting: A Prospectively Designed, Multicenter, Observational Study. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 18 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Combat injuries result in acute, severe pain. Early use of analgesia after injury is known to be beneficial. Studies on prehospital analgesia in combat are limited and no prospectively designed study has reported the use of analgesics in the prehospital and en route care setting. Our objective was to describe the current use of prehospital analgesia in the combat setting. Methods: This prospectively designed, multicenter, observational, prehospital combat study was undertaken at medical treatment facilities (MTF) in Afghanistan between October 2012 and September 2013. It formed part of a larger study aimed at describing the use of lifesaving interventions in combat. On arrival at the MTF, trained on-site investigators enrolled eligible patients and completed standardized data capture forms, which included the name, dose, and route of administration of all prehospital analgesics, and the type of provider who administered the drug. Physiological data were retrospectively ascribed as soon as practicable. The study was prospectively approved by the Brooke Army Medical Center institutional review board. Results: Data were collected on 228 patients, with 305 analgesia administrations recorded. The predominant mechanism of injury was blast (50%), followed by penetrating (41%), and blunt (9%). The most common analgesic used was ketamine, followed by morphine. A combination of analgesics was given to 29% of patients; the most common combination was ketamine and morphine. Intravenous delivery was the most commonly used route (55%). Patients transported by the UK Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) or U.S. Air Medical Evacuation (Dust-off) team were more likely to receive ketamine than those evacuated by U.S. Pararescue Jumpers (Pedro). Patients transported by Medical Emergency Response Team or Pedro were more likely to receive more than 1 drug. Patients who received only ketamine had a higher pulse rate (p < 0.005) and lower systolic blood pressure (p = 0.01) than other groups, and patients that received hydromorphone had a lower respiratory rate (p = 0.04). Conclusions: In our prospectively designed, multicenter, observational, prehospital combat study, ketamine was the most commonly used analgesic drug. The most frequently observed combination of drugs was ketamine and morphine. The intravenous route was used for 55% of drug administrations.

In 2010, SharePoint, a web-based tool, was established to track study documents. This study conducted by JC2RT no. 13 describes characteristics of research studies under the purview of the JC2RT from 2010 through 2012. Of the 83 research studies reviewed, 34% were completed, 32% were not completed, and 34% were still in progress. Target sample sizes ranged from 12 to 70,000, with 96% of the research studying U.S. military members. The design of 61% of the studies was prospective, 20% surveys, and 14% retrospective reviews. Approximately one-half of the studies were conducted at single sites. Eighty-four percent of the studies that finished an institutional review board (IRB) were completed, whereas a large number of studies never made it to IRB approval. Even after studies have gone through the rigorous process of scientific review and IRB approval some continue to struggle for years to be completed in the theater of operations. The JC2RT is committed to helping facilitate the ethical conduct of research during war.

The rate of TB disease in the military is low; however, there are unique challenges for its control in this setting. As a low-risk population, TB testing in the U.S. military can be scaled back from the universal testing approach used previously. Reactivation of latent TB infection (LTBI) present at accession into service is the most important factor leading to TB disease; therefore, its diagnosis and treatment among recruits should be given a high priority. Deployment and overseas military service is an uncommon but important source of TB infection, and rigorous surveillance should be ensured. Case management of TB disease and LTBI can be improved by the use of cohort reviews at the service and installation levels and case finding and delays in the diagnosis of TB disease can be improved by education of providers, as well as increased use of molecular diagnostic tests. Program outcomes can be improved by making LTBI treatment compulsory, offering shorter treatment regimens, and increasing accountability through oversight and evaluation. The diagnosis of LTBI can be improved by implementing targeted testing in all settings and reducing confirmatory interferon-gamma release assay testing.

Women represent 15% of the Army and have higher incidence of injury than male soldiers; studies that have investigated MSIs in deployed women are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective cohort study was to investigate MSIs in women during a 9-month deployment to Afghanistan. Participants were recruited from three Brigade Combat Teams. Participants completed a demographic survey before deployment and a second survey on occupational demands and MSIs after deployment. Of the 160 women, 57 (36%) suffered 78 MSIs resulting in 1,642 days of limited duty, a median of 7 days per MSI, losing 10% of the available duty time to MSIs. Most injuries affected the knee (24%) or low back (18%). Soldiers attributed the majority of injuries (27%) to physical training and trips/falls (17%). Of the MSIs, 93% caused limitations to physical training and 76% resulted in large limitations to occupational tasks. Most MSIs (41%) resolved within 3 weeks and most (37%) occurred before the fourth month of deployment. Prevention measures should target knee and low back injuries. Physical training should be further investigated to discover modifications capable of reducing injuries.

This article describes the Military Family Fitness Model (MFFM), a comprehensive model aimed at enhancing family fitness and resilience across the life span. This model is intended for use by Service members, their families, leaders, and health care providers but also has broader applications for all families. The MFFM has three core components: (1) family demands, (2) resources (including individual resources, family resources, and external resources), and (3) family outcomes (including related metrics). The MFFM proposes that resources from the individual, family, and external areas promote fitness, bolster resilience, and foster well-being for the family. The MFFM highlights each resource level for the purpose of improving family fitness and resilience over time. The MFFM both builds on existing family strengths and encourages the development of new family strengths through resource-acquiring behaviors. The purpose of this article is to (1) expand the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) intent as it relates to families and (2) offer a family fitness model. This article will summarize relevant evidence, provide supportive theory, describe the model, and proffer metrics that support the dimensions of this model.

Vitamin D (VITD) levels are inversely correlated with weight status in adults. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in a retrospective sample of overweight or obese Soldiers who had attended weight management classes at Fort Bliss, Texas. The study design was a cross-sectional, retrospective review of electronic outpatient medical records of 314 active duty Soldiers. The mean age of the Soldiers was 31, mean body mass index was 32, and 69% were classified as obese. Twenty-one percent of Soldiers were classified VTTD-deficient based on having serum 25-hydroxy VITD concentrations < 20 ng/mL, and 51% were classified as insufficient (20-29 ng/mL). In a multivariate logistic regression model, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic race were significant predictors of both VITD deficiency and insufficiency. The high rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in this sample of Soldiers is concerning. Given the important roles of VITD in the body, it is imperative that further study of both normal and overweight Soldiers be conducted in order to determine prevalence.

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) and vertebral column injuries (VCI) were identified using International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. In our study, spinal hospitalizations represented 8.2% of total injury admissions. Risk factors for SCI and VCI incidences were determined using Poisson regression. Lack of previous deployment experience increased risk of having SCI by 33% and VCI by 24% in Iraq (similar increases, but not statistically significant in Afghanistan). Male soldiers had 4.85 times higher risk for SCI in Iraq and 69% higher risk in Afghanistan than female soldiers. In Afghanistan, almost 60% of spinal episodes included traumatic brain injury (TBI), compared to about 40% in Iraq. In both theaters, mild TBI accounted for more than 50% of all TBI-spinal episodes. Sixteen percent of SCI inpatient episodes in Afghanistan and 13% in Iraq were associated with paralysis, with median bed days of 46 and 33 days compared to a median of 6 days in both theaters for nonparalysis spinal injuries. The mortality rate was 2.5 times lower in Afghanistan than in Iraq.

However, clinical course and discharge criteria, once hospitalized, are poorly described. We describe 30 cases of exertional rhabdomyolysis and their hospital course. Methods: Thirty hospitalized cases with ICD-9 code of 722.88 (rhabdomyolysis) as the primary diagnosis were reviewed from 2010 to 2012. We excluded those with associated trauma, toxin, and heat illnesses. Results: The average length of stay was 3.6 days (range: 1-8 days). Length of stay correlated significantly with peak creatine kinase (CK) levels. The mean admission CK was 61,391 U/L (range 697-233,180 U/L). The mean discharge CK was 23,865 U/L with a wide range (1,410-94,665 U/L). Six cases (20%) had evidence of acute kidney injury, but most had serum creatinine (Cr) <1.7 mg/dL. One had a peak Cr of 4.8 mg/dL. Higher serum Cr levels correlated significantly with lower CK levels. Twenty-nine out of 30 patients were discharged when CKs downtrended. Conclusion: Higher peak CK levels predicted longer length of stay. Higher serum Cr significantly correlated with lower CK levels. There did not appear to be any threshold CK for admission or discharge, however, all but one patient were discharged after CK downtrended.

The primary aim of this study was to determine if the number of exercises prescribed in a HEP was associated with compliance rate of Service Members (SM) in theater with a secondary aim of determining variables associated with compliance and noncompliance. Materials/Methods: Subjects were 155 deployed SM undergoing physical therapy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinical evaluation and prescription of a HEP were performed. Pathologic, demographic, and treatment data were obtained. Subjects returned to the clinic 1 week later to demonstrate their HEP. Subjects’ performance of each prescribed exercise was rated on a 12-point scale to quantify compliance. Results: 2 variables were found to be significantly associated with rate of compliance. These were the number of exercises prescribed ( p = 0.02) and if a subject left the base at least once per week ( p = 0.01). Conclusions: SM prescribed 4 or more exercises had a lower rate of compliance than those prescribed 2 or fewer. SM who left the base at least once per week also had a lower rate of compliance.

The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and types of visual field (VF) defects seen at different testing stages following nonblast and blast-induced mTBI. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective review was performed on 500 electronic health records for military personnel sustaining an mTBI during deployment, of which 166 patients were tested with both confrontation VF and 30-2 Humphrey Matrix Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimetry. Results: Scatter defects (48%) were the most predominantly found deficits in both blast and nonblast mTBI injury mechanisms and over postinjury test time frames. Confrontation VF was shown to be a poor qualitative predictor of VF defect. A profound decrease in VF sensitivity was noted in comparison to previously reported FDT normative data. Finally, a significant trend of decreasing VF defects was seen over time, indicating the potential usage of FDT as a visual biomarker for monitoring mTBI recovery. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the importance of performing threshold perimeter testing in those who have suffered an mTBI or concussion-like event.

Research done on deployed populations have focused mostly on men. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to describe physical demands and MSIs among male and female soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team during a 12-month deployment to Afghanistan. Data on occupational tasks and injuries were collected from the infantry and brigade support battalions. Out of 57 women, 22 had MSIs (39%) and for the 536 men, 120 (22%) had MSIs resulting in limited duty. The average limited duty was 7.5 and 13 days/injury for women and men, respectively. The most commonly injured body region for the men was the low back (32%) and the low back (22%) and foot and ankle (22%) for women. The activity associated with MSI for women was physical training (25%) and for men it was contact with the enemy (23%). Physically demanding duties, more distance walked, and heavier average load and objects lifted all increased the risk of injury in women. Only lifting heavier weights increased the risk in men. The women appear to have less tolerance to physically demanding work such than their male counterparts.

Data Source: We used military health care claims from October 2006 to September 2010. Study Design/Analysis: Retrospective, multiple-year comparisons were conducted using trend analyses, and time series regression-based generalized linear models. Results: Over 5 years, FMS prevalence rates increased from 0.307% to 0.522%, whereas IBS and CFS prevalence rates remained stable. The largest increase in FMS prevalence occurred between 2007 and 2008. Health care utilization was higher for FMS cases compared to IBS and CFS cases. Over 5 years, the total cost for FMS-related care increased $163.2 million, whereas IBS costs increased $14.9 million and CFS cost increased $3.7 million. Between 2006 and 2010, total pharmacy cost for FMS cases increased from $55 million ($3,641/person) to $96.3 million ($3,557/person). Conclusion: Although cause and effect cannot be established, the advent of federally approved drugs for FMS in concert with pharmaceutical industry marketing of these drugs coincide with the observed changes in prevalence, health care utilization, and costs of FMS relative to IBS and CFS.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2014/08/02/Aug2014 Supplement Y1 - 2014/08/02/Aug2014 Supplement VL - 179 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 46 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Aim: Patients with severe bums typically undergo multiple surgeries, and ketamine is often used as part of the multimodal anesthetic regimen during such surgeries. The anesthetic ketamine is an /V-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist that also provides analgesia at subanesthetic doses, but the psychoactive side effects of ketamine have caused concern about its potential psychological effects on a combat-wounded population. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 30% of burned U.S. service members injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom/ Operation Enduring Freedom. A preliminary analysis by our research group reported that patients who received perioperative ketamine had a significantly lower prevalence of PTSD than those injured service members who did not receive ketamine. We have now expanded this research to examine the relationship between ketamine and PTSD development in a much larger population. Methods: A retrospective analysis on data from service members being treated for burns at the San Antonio Military Medical Center was conducted. Collected data included drugs received, injury severity score (ISS), total body surface area (TBSA) burned, length of hospital stay (LOS), number of intensive care unit days, number of surgeries, and PTSD Checklist-Military (PCL-M) scores and administration dates. Subjects were grouped based on intraoperative receipt of ketamine, and the groups were compared. The groups were binary for ketamine (yes or no), and dose of ketamine administered was not included in data analyses. Propensity score matching based on ISS and TBSA was performed to control for individual differences in burn severity. Results: Two hundred eighty-nine burned U.S. service members received the PCL-M at least 30 days after injury. Of these subjects, 189 received intraoperative ketamine, and 100 did not. Despite significantly greater injuries, as evidenced by significantly higher TBSA burned and ISS (p < 0.01), patients who received ketamine did not screen positive for PTSD at a different rate than those patients who did not (24% vs. 26.98%, p = 0.582). Patients receiving intraoperative ketamine also underwent a significantly greater number of surgeries, spent more time in the hospital, spent more days in the ICU, and received more morphine equivalent units (p < 0.0001). Propensity score matching based on ISS and TBSA resulted in a total subject number of 130. In the matched samples, subjects who received ketamine still underwent significantly more surgeries and experienced longer hospital stays (p < 0.0001). Again, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of a positive screen for PTSD based upon the receipt of ketamine (28% vs. 26.15%, p = 0.843). Conclusions: Ketamine is often used in bum patients to reduce opioid usage and decrease the hemodynamic and respiratory side effects. Although this study does not show a benefit of ketamine on PTSD development that was identified in previous work with a smaller sample number, it does support the conclusion that ketamine does not increase PTSD development in burned service members.

Blast overpressure (BOP) of 120 ± 7 KPa has been shown to cause damage to lungs, brain, and gut in a rat model; however, the effects of BOP on ocular tissues have not been characterized. To elucidate the pathophysiology of blast-induced ocular trauma, ocular tissues from rats subjected to blast were examined for evidence of apoptosis by the detection of activated caspase 3 and TUNEL assay in their ocular tissues. Methods: A compressed air shock tube was used to deliver 120 ± 7 KPa of BOP for duration of 2 msec to the right side of the rats. Rats were then euthanized at specific time points after blast exposure (3 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours). Ocular tissues were processed for immunohistochemistry to detect activated caspase 3 and TUNEL assay. Tissues were evaluated for relative levels of positive signal as compared to nonblast exposed controls. Results: Activated caspase 3 was detected in the optic nerve, ganglion layer, and inner nuclear layer post blast exposure. At 24 and 48 hours, the inner nuclear layer from the right side had more cells with activated caspase 3. In the optic nerve, the highest levels of activated caspase 3 were detected on the right side at 24 hours post blast. Conclusion: BOP of 120 + 7 KPa induces optic neuropathy and retinal damage. In both the optic nerve and retina, caspase 3 was activated in the right and left sides following blast exposure. The results of this study reveal that blast exposure induces apoptosis in both the optic nerve and retinal tissues.

Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

JO - Conservation Genetics JF - Conservation Genetics Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 15 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 153 EP - 164 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 15660621 AB - Genetic factors such as decreased genetic diversity and increased homozygosity can have detrimental effects on rare species, and may ultimately limit potential adaptation and exacerbate population declines. The Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic region has the second highest level of endemism in the continental USA, but habitat fragmentation and land use changes have resulted in catastrophic population declines for many species. Astragalus michauxii (Fabaceae) is an herbaceous plant endemic to the region that is considered vulnerable to extinction, with populations generally consisting of fewer than 20 individuals. We developed eight polymorphic microsatellites and genotyped 355 individuals from 24 populations. We characterized the population genetic diversity and structure, tested for evidence of past bottlenecks, and identified evidence of contemporary gene flow between populations. The mean ratios of the number of alleles to the allelic range ( M ratio) across loci for A. michauxii populations were well below the threshold of 0.68 identified as indicative of a past genetic bottleneck. Genetic diversity estimates were similar across regions and populations, and comparable to other long-lived perennial species. Within-population genetic variation accounted for 92 % of the total genetic variation found in the species. Finally, there is evidence for contemporary gene flow among the populations in North Carolina. Although genetic factors can threaten rare species, maintaining habitats through prescribed burning, in concert with other interventions such as population augmentation or (re)introduction, are likely most critical to the long term survival of A. michauxii.

We assessed effects of WNS on summer captures of Myotis leibii (Eastern Small-footed Bat), M. lucifugus (Little Brown Bat), M. septentrionalis (Northern Long-eared Bat), and Eptesicus fuscus (Big Brown Bat) in New Hampshire from 2005-2011. Declines in rates and probability of capture varied among species but were greatest in the Myotis. Trends generally agreed with previous studies, except that declines in captures of Eastern Small-footed Bats were disproportionately higher than expected from winter estimates. Monitoring of Eastern Small-footed Bats during the non-hibernation period likely will help to clarify the effects of WNS on this uncommon species.

Sixty-two percent of 806 feral swine were infested with one or more of the following species: Amblyomma americanum, A. cajennense, A. maculatum, Dermacentor albipictus, D. halli, D. variabilis, and Ixodes scapularis. Juvenile and adult feral swine of both sexes were found to serve as host to ixodid ticks. Longitudinal surveys of feral swine at four geographic locations show persistent year-round tick infestations of all gender-age classes for tick species common to their respective geographic locations and ecoregions. Amblyomma americanum, A. cajennense, A. maculatum and D. variabilis were collected from 66% of feral swine harvested through an abatement program in seven ecoregions from March to October in 2009. These results indicate westward geographic expansion of D. variabilis. Summary results show feral swine are competent hosts for ixodid species responsible for the transmission of pathogens and diminished well-being in livestock, wildlife, and humans.

JO - Ecology & Society JF - Ecology & Society Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - Resilience Alliance SN - 17083087 AB - Although few successful examples of large-scale adaptive management applications are available to ecosystem restoration scientists and managers, examining where and how the components of an adaptive management program have been successfully implemented yields insight into what approaches have and have not worked. We document five key lessons learned during the decade-long development and implementation of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Collaborative Adaptive Management Program that might be useful to other adaptive management practitioners. First, legislative and regulatory authorities that require the development of an adaptive management program are necessary to maintain funding and support to set up and implement adaptive management. Second, integration of adaptive management activities into existing institutional processes, and development of technical guidance, helps to ensure that adaptive management activities are understood and roles and responsibilities are clearly articulated so that adaptive management activities are implemented successfully. Third, a strong applied science framework is critical for establishing a prerestoration ecosystem reference condition and understanding of how the system works, as well as for providing a conduit for incorporating new scientific information into the decision-making process. Fourth, clear identification of uncertainties that pose risks to meeting restoration goals helps with the development of hypothesis-driven strategies to inform restoration planning and implementation. Tools such as management options matrices can provide a coherent way to link hypotheses to specific monitoring efforts and options to adjust implementation if performance goals are not achieved. Fifth, independent external peer review of an adaptive management program provides important feedback critical to maintaining and improving adaptive management implementation for ecosystem restoration. These lessons learned have helped shape the CERP Adaptive Management Program and are applicable to other natural resource management and restoration efforts; they can be used to help guide development and implementation of adaptive management programs facing similar challenges.

Tissue TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were examined with respect to whelk sex, size, and water temperature at the time of collection, and also to egg case size, hatching success, and veliger diameter. Imposex incidence declined and population sex ratios moved closer to parity from 1998 to 2009. Observed TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were higher in James River than in Ocean View whelks with higher TBT concentrations observed in males than in females. Exponential declines in TBT concentrations from female-specific first to last clutches within a reproductive season were observed, indicating that whelks depurate TBT through egg case deposition. Egg capsule hatching success and veliger size were similar for female and imposex whelks. The R. venosa imposex levels observed in Chesapeake Bay apparently do not affect the production, release, or viability of larvae.

SN - 21945403 AB - Mission assurance policy and risk management are essential in enabling decision makers to ensure successful completion of missions by addressing the security status of cyber assets. This paper presents a novel mission assurance policy that adapts to the dynamic security status of all mission assets to quickly and automatically determine mission assurance level and to decide what changes are needed accordingly. The novelty of this mission assurance policy stems from using a time Petri net model for determining the security status of cyber assets, and then employing binary or multi-valued logic decision diagrams to assess the mission assurance level. The ability of a mission assurance policy to successfully complete its objectives depends mainly on whether a risk management scheme is provided to reduce risk to an acceptable level. To that end, this paper also describes a risk management scheme to systematically deal with the main factors of risk management such as the temporal interdependencies of cyber assets, impact of attacks, and risk mitigation. Given that the status of cyber assets changes due to the dynamic cybersecurity environment of asset vulnerabilities, threats, and recovery, the proposed mission assurance policy and risk management scheme enable decision makers to cope with the real-time assessment of mission assurance level.

SN - 03405443 AB - Whether or not a migratory songbird embarks on a long-distance flight across an ecological barrier is likely a response to a number of endogenous and exogenous factors. During autumn 2008 and 2009, we used automated radio tracking to investigate how energetic condition, age, and weather influenced the departure timing and direction of Swainson’s thrushes ( Catharus ustulatus) during migratory stopover along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Most birds left within 1 h after sunset on the evening following capture. Those birds that departed later on the first night or remained longer than 1 day were lean. Birds that carried fat loads sufficient to cross the Gulf of Mexico generally departed in a seasonally appropriate southerly direction, whereas lean birds nearly always flew inland in a northerly direction. We did not detect an effect of age or weather on departures. The decision by lean birds to reorient movement inland may reflect the suitability of the coastal stopover site for deposition of fuel stores and the motivation to seek food among more extensive forested habitat away from the barrier.

SN - 00904341 AB - Toxicity tests evaluated chronic and sublethal effects of fog oil (FO) on a freshwater endangered fish. FO is released during military training as an obscurant smoke that can drift into aquatic habitats. Fountain darters, Etheostoma fonticola, of four distinct life stages were exposed under laboratory conditions to three forms of FO. FO was vaporized into smoke and allowed to settle onto water, violently agitated with water, and dosed onto water followed by photo-oxidization by ultraviolet irradiation. Single smoke exposures of spawning adult fish did not affect egg production, egg viability, or adult fish survival in 21-day tests. Multiple daily smoke exposures induced mortality after 5 days for larvae fish. Larvae and juvenile fish were more sensitive than eggs in 96-h lethal concentration (LC 50) tests with FO–water mixtures and photo-oxidized FO. Water-soluble FO components photo-modified by ultraviolet radiation were the most toxic, thus indicating the value of examining weathering and aging of chemicals for the best determination of environmental impact.

SN - 00068314 AB - The spatial resolution of a sonic anemometer is limited by the distance between its transducers, and for studies of small-scale turbulence and theories of turbulence, it is desirable to increase this spatial resolution. We here consider resolution improvements obtainable by treating the sonic anemometer as a small tomography array, with application of appropriate inverse algorithms for the reconstruction of temperature and velocity. A particular modification of the sonic anemometer is considered when the number of its transducers is doubled and the time-dependent stochastic inversion algorithm is used for reconstruction. Numerical simulations of the sonic anemometer and its suggested modification are implemented with the temperature and velocity fields modelled as discrete eddies moving through the sonic's volume. The tomographic approach is shown to provide better reconstructions of the temperature and velocity fields, with spatial resolution increased by as much as a factor of ten. The spatial resolution depends on the inverse algorithm and also improves by increasing the number of transducers.

JO - Journal of Wildlife Management JF - Journal of Wildlife Management Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 77 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1618 EP - 1625 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0022541X AB - We recorded 94 sound-response events at 3 adult-occupied northern goshawk ( Accipiter gentilis) nests 78 m, 143 m, and 167 m from the nearest United States Forest Service maintenance level 3, improved gravel road on the Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona. During 4 test sessions on 7, 8, 10, and 11 June 2010, we recorded 60 experimentally controlled logging trucks; 30 non-experimental, civilian, fixed-winged aircraft; 3 non-experimental, passing cars; and 1 all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Logging truck sound, principally engine and exhaust, was concentrated in the 63 Hz and 80 Hz, 1/3-octave frequency bands. Aircraft sound was concentrated in the 100 Hz and 125 Hz, 1/3-octave frequency bands. Logging truck noise levels varied among nest sites and with distance from roads. At 167 m from the closest road, the logging truck averaged approximately 8 decibels (dB, all decibel levels C-weighted, adjusted, 1 s, equivalent sound level, CLEQ) quieter than aircraft. At 143 m, the logging truck was approximately 3 dB quieter than passing aircraft. Only at 78 m was logging truck noise louder on average than aircraft, by approximately 6 dB. Average aircraft noise levels for each day of testing ranged between 45.6 dB and 67.9 dB and when averaged across the entire study period, varied little among the 3 test sites, 60.1-65.6 dB. On average, our test logging truck (61.9 dB) was no louder than passing aircraft (62.3 dB), which goshawks generally ignored. The logging truck resulted in 27% no response and 73% alert (head turning) response, passing aircraft resulted in 90% no response and only 10% alert response, and the cars and ATV combined resulted in 50% each for no response and alert response. Goshawk alert response rates were inversely proportional to nest distance from the nearest road, decreasing from 91% to 57% alert between 78 m and 167 m. No movements or flushes were associated with either our experimental testing or passive recording of other vehicular noise stimuli. All tested pairs of goshawks successfully fledged young. Because logging truck noise had no effect on northern goshawks nesting along level 3, improved gravel roads on the Kaibab Plateau, restriction of log hauling and other road-based travel activities on similar roads within post-fledging family areas (PFAs) appears unnecessary based on the type and extent of our testing. © 2013 The Wildlife Society.

In 2010, sediment allocations were established to augment nutrient allocations supporting the submerged aquatic vegetation resource. From the initial introduction of nutrient allocations in 1992 to the present, the allocations have become more completely applied to all areas and loads in the watershed and have also become more rigorously assessed and tracked. The latest 2010 application of nutrient and sediment allocations were made as part of the Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load and covered all six states of the Chesapeake watershed. A quantitative allocation process was developed that applied principles of equity and efficiency in the watershed, while achieving all tidal water quality standards through an assessment of equitable levels of effort in reducing nutrients and sediments. The level of effort was determined through application of two key watershed scenarios: one where no action was taken in nutrient control and one where maximum nutrient control efforts were applied. Once the level of effort was determined for different jurisdictions, the overall load reduction was set watershed-wide to achieve dissolved oxygen water quality standards. Further adjustments were made to the allocation to achieve the James River chlorophyll- a standard.

Grid resolution and spatial coverage, tied with realistic bathymetry, ensured dynamic responses along the channel and near the shoreline. The model was run with the forcing ranges from high frequency astronomical tides to lower frequency meteorological forcing, given by surface wind and heat flux, as well as hydrological forcing given by fresh water inflows both from upstream and distributed sources along the shoreline. To validate the model, a long-term simulation over seven-year time period between 1994 and 2000 was performed. The model results were compared with existing observation data including water level time series, which spans over a wide spectrum of time scales, and long-term variations in salinity structures over varying parts of the Bay. The validated model is set to provide an appropriate transport mechanism to the water quality model through linkage, warranting that the model takes into account the complexity in time and spatial scales associated with the dynamic processes in the Chesapeake.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators to provide protection against infectious airborne viruses in various workplace settings. The filtration efficiency of selected NIOSH-approved particulate N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and filter cartridges was investigated against the viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage, aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Tests were performed under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes of 85 and 135 L/min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 L/min). The mean penetrations of viable MS2 through the N95 and P100 FFRs/cartridges were typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions. All N95 and P100 FFR and cartridge models assessed in this study, therefore, met or exceeded their respective efficiency ratings of 95 and 99.97% against the viable MS2 test aerosol, even under the very high flow conditions. These NIOSH-approved FFRs and particulate respirators equipped with these cartridges can be anticipated to achieve expected levels of protection (consistent with their assigned protection factor) against airborne viral agents, provided that they are properly selected, fitted, worn, and maintained.

SN - 19447442 AB - A fixed biofilm system was explored for decentralized wastewater treatment utilizing laboratory cultivated microorganisms including Gordonia sp. The system is deployable in a 40-ft ISO container/trailer or on a C-130 aircraft. Experimental results indicated that pre-addition of raw wastewater to the microbial culture before inoculation resulted in a significantly higher BOD5 degradation (77 ± 2% in 24 h) than the consortium alone (58 ± 10%) during the startup of the system. After the pilot system was in semi-continuous operation with an average flow rate of 13.2 L/min, the removal efficiency of BOD5 and total suspended solids (TSS) was 83 ± 9 and 84 ± 9, respectively. As an important supplement to the pilot studies, laboratorial tests by headspace analysis showed that the Gordonia sp. were able to degrade benzene in water. More significant biodegradation of benzene was found in sessile form (57 ± 8%) than in planktonic form (25 ± 11%) with minimal glucose in 26 h. However, no benzene degradation was found in sessile form when no glucose was supplied. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 32: 505-511, 2013 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy is the property of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 29 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1016 EP - 1029 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 15351459 AB - ABSTRACT The upper Missouri River bottomland in north-central Montana, USA, retains much of the physical character it had when traversed by Lewis and Clark around 1805. We used geospatial data to quantify long-term changes in the distribution of bottomland vegetation, land use patterns and channel planform for a 257-rkm segment of the Missouri River above Fort Peck Reservoir. This segment is less ecologically altered than downstream segments, but two dams completed in the mid-1950s have decreased the frequency and magnitude of floods. The area of forest is sparse because of geomorphic setting but, contrary to public perception, has remained relatively constant during the past century. However, the stability of forest area obscures its spatial and temporal dynamics. We used state and transition models to quantify fates and sources of forest during two periods: 1890s-1950s and 1950s-2006. Total forest area was 6% greater in 2006 than it was in the 1890s, largely due to reduced forest loss to erosional processes and gains related to progressive channel narrowing. Channel narrowing resulted in part from human-caused peak flow attenuation. A modified transition matrix, used to examine future steady-state conditions, projected little change in forest area; however, these projections are likely an overestimate. The extent to which 2006 forest area represents a transient adjustment to a new flow regime versus a dynamic, quasi-steady state will be determined by the long-term interplay among hydrologic factors, channel processes, water management and land use practices.

This study simulates water use in a single-family residential neighborhood using end-water-use parameter probability distributions generated from Monte Carlo sampling. This model represents existing water use conditions in 2010 and is calibrated to 2006-2011 metered data. A two-stage mixed integer optimization model is then developed to estimate the least-cost combination of long- and short-term conservation actions for each household. This least-cost conservation model provides an estimate of the upper bound of reasonable conservation potential for varying pricing and rebate conditions. The models were adapted from previous work in Jordan and are applied to a neighborhood in San Ramon, California in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area. The existing conditions model produces seasonal use results very close to the metered data. The least-cost conservation model suggests clothes washer rebates are among most cost-effective rebate programs for indoor uses. Retrofit of faucets and toilets is also cost-effective and holds the highest potential for water savings from indoor uses. This mechanistic modeling approach can improve understanding of water demand and estimate cost-effectiveness of water conservation programs.

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how U.S. Army officers attending the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) decided to enroll in a master's degree program. Four research questions guided the study to determine whether and how career requirements, post-military aspirations, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced the choice to pursue a master's degree. A conceptual framework comprised career development, career decision making, and adult development that provided additional guidance. The study used a case study methodology, and 26 military students participated. Data collection comprised interview and surveys, and data analysis comprised coding with peer review and member checking. The findings affirmed the research questions and identified themes related to self-efficacy, goal setting, persistence, and time management, leading to implications.

Because deposition is a critical step in the initiation of inhalation anthrax, inhaled doses may not provide the most accurate cross-species comparison. For this reason, species-specific deposition factors were derived to translate inhaled dose to deposited dose. Four NHP, three rabbit, and two guinea pig data sets were utilized. Results from species-specific pooling analysis suggested all four NHP data sets could be pooled into a single NHP data set, which was also true for the rabbit and guinea pig data sets. The three species-specific pooled data sets could not be combined into a single generic mammalian data set. For inhaled dose, NHPs were the most sensitive (relative lowest LD50) species and rabbits the least. Improved inhaled LD50s proposed for use in risk assessment are 50,600, 102,600, and 70,800 inhaled spores for NHP, rabbit, and guinea pig, respectively. Lung deposition factors were estimated for each species using published deposition data from Bacillus spore exposures, particle deposition studies, and computer modeling. Deposition was estimated at 22%, 9%, and 30% of the inhaled dose for NHP, rabbit, and guinea pig, respectively. When the inhaled dose was adjusted to reflect deposited dose, the rabbit animal model appears the most sensitive with the guinea pig the least sensitive species.

AB - Purpose Research suggests the importance of psychosocial factors in recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of recovery among U.S. Marines who had musculoskeletal injuries of the back, knee, or shoulder. Methods A sample of 134 participants was assessed at baseline and followed for 1 year to determine outcome information. Results The strongest predictor of injury recovery at the 1-year follow-up was recovery expectations. In a multivariate logistic model with key demographic and psychosocial factors controlled, individuals who had high recovery expectations at baseline were over five times as likely to be recovered at follow-up as individuals who had low expectations (OR = 5.18, p < .01). Conclusions This finding is consistent with a large body of research that has linked recovery expectations with better recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal injuries as well as with research linking recovery expectations with better outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Applied to military populations, interventions designed to modify recovery expectations may have the potential to improve rates of return to duty and to reduce rates of disability discharge.

An unmodified respirator (APR) trial was also completed. The highest body temperatures (TTY) and least favorable comfort ratings were observed for the APR condition. With ambient cooling over the last 60 min of heat exposure, TTYaveraged 37.4 ± 0.6°C for Control, 38.0 ± 0.4°C for APR, 37.8 ± 0.5°C for FHC, and 37.6 ± 0.7°C for BZC conditions independent of time. Both the FHC and BZC ambient air cooling conditions reduced facial skin temperatures, reduced the rise in body temperatures, and led to more favorable subjective comfort and thermal sensation ratings over time compared to the APR condition; however statistical differences among conditions were inconsistent. Independent of exposure time, average breathing apparatus comfort scores with BZC (7.2 ± 2.5) were significantly different from both Control (8.9 ± 1.4) and APR (6.5 ± 2.2) conditions when ambient cooling was activated. These findings suggest that low-flow ambient air cooling of the face under low work rate conditions and mild hyperthermia may be a practical method to minimize the thermophysiological strain and reduce perceived respirator discomfort.

Based on a reappraisal of learning processes rather than on the outcome of the war, this essay argues that as an organization, the U.S. Army did learn and adapt in Vietnam; however, that learning was not sufficient, in itself, to preserve a South Vietnam in the throes of a powerful nationalist upheaval. A reexamination of the Army's strategic approach, operational experiences, and organizational changes reveals that significant learning did occur during the Vietnam War despite the conflict's final result.

Many Republicans shared Thomas Jefferson's faith that an untrained militia could easily conquer Canada, but they did not improve militia training or administration. Indeed, Jefferson gutted the army's fledgling supply organization in 1802, an act far more significant for the War of 1812 than the creation of the Military Academy. Jefferson boxed himself and his successor into a corner by refusing to negotiate with Britain on realistic terms and by relying on commercial sanctions that damaged the economy and devastated revenues. Reactive and backward-looking, the Jeffersonian Republicans refused to match ends and means and failed to create a viable deterrent or alternative to war.

The data were obtained through an anonymous survey of 458 squad leaders (i.e., small unit leaders who oversee 4-10 soldiers). More than 80% of squad leaders perceived management of soldier BH needs before, during, and after treatment as their responsibility, and felt comfortable and capable of executing these roles. Latent class analysis was used to determine groups of "most active," "moderately active," and "least active" leaders. Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare the least and most active classes. The most active leaders were more likely to report high BH knowledge, dedication to a common purpose, and low levels of "associative" stigma. These results should inform leader management of soldier BH. Future research should examine active leader characteristics and whether evidence-based training can increase support for preventing and managing BH issues.

In order to better understand the structure of covert networks, characterized imperfect and incomplete network data, we consider how to incorporate intelligence fusion into network analysis. This paper introduces a modified static Bernoulli random-graph model as a way to evaluate uncertain network structures. The results demonstrate that stochastically generating thousands of network structures, where known associations are held constant and suspected associations are treated as independent random variables, has the effect of proportionally emphasizing corroborated data from reliable sources. Evaluating multiple structures also enables an analyst to quantify the uncertainty of centrality-based targeting recommendations. Lastly, the implications of subjectively including or omitting specific pieces of information can be mitigated by assigning a likelihood probability to each suspected association.

This political identity is itself a multi-dimensional concept shaped not only by the political ideology, practices and institutions established by the rebel organisation, but also by the relationship with the state and its political institutions. Far from functioning in a vacuum or isolated, rebel groups, especially when operating as alternative providers of governance, build multi-layered networks of relations with the state, the pre-existing traditional society institutions as well as with other domestic and international political actors. The study focuses specifically on two complex armed groups, Hezbollah and Hamas, relying on primary sources as well as in-depth fieldwork on these groups' socio-political institution (In this case field work refers to both in-depth direct observation of the groups' social networks and political infrastructures as well direct interviews and meetings with key stakeholders involved in the administration of those activities. The timeframe for the field work spans between 2008 and 2013). The research tracks their multiple interactions with the state through grassroots activism, institutional politics and governance. Despite their considerable differences, at their cores, both organisations operate in a liminal space between open war and fragile postconflict setting; between grassroots activism and institutional politics; between armed resistance and political accommodation; and between competition and cooperation with the state. As such, they represent useful starting points to begin deconstructing and problematising existing dichotomies still prevalent in studying both rebel governance and rebel-to-political transitions, including the binary statenon- state opposition. In doing so, the analysis highlights the importance of taking into account the often hybrid and multi-layered political legacies adopted by armed groups during wartime and their impact in shaping their political trajectories as well as the potential roles for these groups in post-conflict settings.

It argues that their contributions centered on three tactical tasks that enhanced the invading army's maneuvers: reconnaissance, direct assault, and counterguerrilla patrolling. Each of these actions reflected a distinctive skill-set at which the auxiliaries excelled, marking them as exceptionally multifunctional assets. The Texans' augmentation coincided with, and was necessitated by, the evolving stages of the war in Northern Mexico, beginning with the American army's initial invasion, then transitioning to the assault on Monterrey, and finally ending with a troubled occupation where the rangers' brutality both enabled and undermined American pacification efforts.

In this article, we describe a general framework for fingerprint embedding at the physical layer in order to provide message authentication that is secure and bandwidth-efficient. Rather than depending on channel or device characteristics that are outside of our control, deliberate fingerprint embedding for message authentication enables control over performance trade-offs by design. Furthermore, low-power fingerprint designs enhance security by making the authentication tags less accessible to adversaries. We define metrics for communications and authentication performance, and discuss the trade-offs in system design. Results from our wireless software-defined radio experiments validate the theory and demonstrate the low complexity, practicality, and enhanced security of the approach.

However, if the model is flexible enough to fit a large proportion of potential empirical outcomes, finding a good fit becomes less meaningful. We propose a method for estimating the proportion of potential empirical outcomes that the model can fit: Model Flexibility Analysis (MFA). MFA aids model evaluation by providing a metric for gauging the persuasiveness of a given fit. We demonstrate that MFA can be more informative than merely discounting the fit by the number of free parameters in the model, and show how the number of free parameters does not necessarily correlate with the flexibility of the model. Additionally, we contrast MFA with other flexibility assessment techniques, including Parameter Space Partitioning, Model Mimicry, Minimum Description Length, and Prior Predictive Evaluation. Finally, we provide examples of how MFA can help to inform modeling results and discuss a variety of issues relating to the use of MFA in model validation.

Methods: WBGT was measured hourly from 1000 to 1400 h at approximately 7 km, approximately 18 km, and approximately 30 km on the Boston Marathon race course. Simultaneous WBGT estimates were made for two meteorological stations southeast of the course via a commercial online system, which also provided 72-h advanced forecasts. Results: The measurement difference (mean ± SD) among course locations was 0.2°C ± 1.8°C WBGT (ANOVA, P > 0.05). The difference between course and stations was 1.9°C ± 2.4°C WBGT (/-test, P < 0.05). Station values underestimated (n = 98) or overestimated (n = 13) course values by >3°C WBGT (>0.5 flag category) in 111 of 245 paired comparisons (45%). Higher black globe and lower wet bulb temperatures explained over- and underestimates, respectively. Significant underestimates ofWBGT resulted in misclassification of green (labeled white) and black (labeled red) course flag categories (x2 , P < 0.05). Forecast data significantly underestimated red (labeled amber) and black (labeled red) course flag categories. Conclusions: Differences in WBGT index along 23 km of the Boston Marathon race route can be small enough to warrant single measurements. However, significant misclassification of flag categories occurred using WBGT estimates for meteorological stations; thus, local measurements are preferred. If the relation between station WBGT forecasts and the race sites can be established, the forecast WBGT values could be corrected to give advanced warning of approximate flag conditions. Similar work is proposed for other venues to improve heat stress monitoring.

Data from the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule were analyzed to gain insights about chlorate occurrence. The number of utilities affected by a potential chlorate regulation would vary significantly depending on the concentration at which chlorate might be regulated and whether compliance calculations incorporate averaging. Seasonal trends in chlorate concentrations were observed, with the highest concentrations occurring during the summer. Chlorate concentrations also vary significantly between the entry point to the distribution system and the point of maximum residence time. Analysis of results for systems using gaseous chlorine, which is not known to form chlorate, suggests that source water chlorate concentrations may be significant for some source waters and that those source concentrations may increase during low-flow or drought events.

The results show that Hg, Cd and to some extent, As and Pb have been significantly accumulated in soils. The strongest correlations were found between concentrations of Ni and total organic matter contents. The correlations decreased in the order: Ni > Cr > Sr > Co > Zn, Cd > Cu > Cs. Strong correlations were also observed between total P and concentrations of Ni, Co, Cr, Sr, Zn, Cu, and Cd. This may be related to the P spilling accident in 2005 in the Bangs Lake site. Lead isotopic ratios in soils matched well those of North American coals, indicating the contribution of Pb through atmospheric fallout from coal power plants.

The concentrations of the inhibitors were varied to determine the highest level of inhibition without a pro-oxidant/browning effect. UV absorbance and gas chromatography/mass spec (GC/MS) with solid phase microextraction (SPME) sampling was used to study browning in the model systems. Hunter L*, a*, b* was used to analyze the color change results of the inhibitors on applesauce and bakery rolls. It was determined that a 1.0% solution of either antioxidant in the glucose/glycine system produced the greatest inhibition and a synergistic effect was not apparent when the two were combined. Inhibition of browning and a lack of synergy between the antioxidants were also determined in food systems consisting of applesauce and bakery rolls. GC/MS analysis of the model system revealed a high level of pyrazine formation in no-inhibitor control samples and the absence of pyrazines in inhibitor-containing samples. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Practical Application Natural browning inhibitors, that is Rosmarinic acid and Epigallocatechin gallate, can be added to food items to inhibit browning over a prolonged period of storage in order to increase product shelf stability. The concentrations of the inhibitors require optimization since a pro-oxidant effect and increased browning will occur at high levels.

JO - Journal of Energy Engineering JF - Journal of Energy Engineering Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 141 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 07339402 AB - The objective of this paper is to provide a review of in-stream hydrokinetic power, which is defined as electric power generated by devices capturing the energy of naturally flowing water--stream, tidal, or open ocean flows--without impounding the water. North America has significant in-stream energy resources, and hydrokinetic electric power technologies to harness those resources have the potential to make a significant contribution to U.S. electricity needs by adding as much as 120 TWh=year from rivers alone to the present hydroelectric power generation capacity. Additionally, tidal and ocean current resources in the U.S. respectively contain 438 TWh=year and 163 TWh=year of extractable power. Among their attractive features, in-stream hydrokinetic operations do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions or other air pollution and have less visual impact than wind turbines. Since these systems do no utilize dams the way traditional hydropower systems typically do, their impact on the environment will differ, and a small but growing number of studies support conclusions regarding those impacts. Potential environmental impacts include altered water quality, altered sediment deposition, altered habitats, direct impact on biota, and navigability of waterways.

Although the importance of SON is recognized, the chemical nature of SON is not well described mainly because of methodological limitations. The objective of this study was to modify the operationally defined SON fractionation scheme to improve sample processing time. The operationally defined SON pools are amino sugar N, amino acid N, and hydrolyzable unknown N. Modifications to the method included: SON hydrolysis using an electric griddle, use of 0.05 mol L-1 H2SO4 NH3 traps, and use of a forced-air oven during amino acid N deamination. The modified method improved sample throughput by (i) increasing soil extractions from one to 12 samples at a time, (ii) decreasing sample analysis time by using colorimetric methods, and (iii) reducing temperature variability during amino acid N deamination. We estimate that the method modifications save on average 5 h per 12 samples. The modified method was then applied to 10 flooded or drained wetland soils that ranged from 3 to 34 g kg-1 total N (TN). The labile SON pools ranged from 0.06 to 1.29 g kg-1 amino sugar N and 0.74 to 10.5 g kg-1 amino acid N. Amino sugar N linearly increased with soil total C (TC; R2 = 0.60). Amino acid N exponentially increased with TC (R2 = 0.80), suggesting that conditions in wetlands preferentially conserve amino acid N. A decline in amino acid N with drained conditions highlighted the potential loss of TN stored in wetlands, estimated at 50 to 75 Pg.

Based on the use and availability of open-source data, the methodology advanced in this research has the capacity to examine household-level drivers of vulnerability that are rarely accounted for in regional and global indices. A household level vulnerability analysis is conducted for four countries – Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. This research seeks to develop a vulnerability model that can be both applied to vulnerable countries in the East African Rift and offer insight into internal dynamic processes and drivers of vulnerability. The enhanced methodology presented in this paper can assist stakeholders and policy-makers in determining what drives vulnerability at a household level, where vulnerable populations are, and suggest what type of aid to target specific locations to be of greatest benefit.

Though weight of evidence (WoE) analysis has been proposed as a basis for assessment of the maturity and level of confidence in an AOP, methodologies and tools are still being formalized. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Users’ Handbook Supplement to the Guidance Document for Developing and Assessing AOPs (OECD 2014a; hereafter referred to as the OECD AOP Handbook) provides tailored Bradford-Hill (BH) considerations for systematic assessment of confidence in a given AOP. These considerations include (1) biological plausibility and (2) empirical support (dose-response, temporality, and incidence) for Key Event Relationships (KERs), and (3) essentiality of key events (KEs). Here, we test the application of these tailored BH considerations and the guidance outlined in the OECD AOP Handbook using a number of case examples to increase experience in more transparently documenting rationales for assigned levels of confidence to KEs and KERs, and to promote consistency in evaluation within and across AOPs. The major lessons learned from experience are documented, and taken together with the case examples, should contribute to better common understanding of the nature and form of documentation required to increase confidence in the application of AOPs for specific uses. Based on the tailored BH considerations and defining questions, a prototype quantitative model for assessing the WoE of an AOP using tools of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is described. The applicability of the approach is also demonstrated using the case example aromatase inhibition leading to reproductive dysfunction in fish. Following the acquisition of additional experience in the development and assessment of AOPs, further refinement of parameterization of the model through expert elicitation is recommended. Overall, the application of quantitative WoE approaches hold promise to enhance the rigor, transparency and reproducibility for AOP WoE determinations and may play an important role in delineating areas where research would have the greatest impact on improving the overall confidence in the AOP.

HEC-EFM analyses involve: 1) statistical analyses of relationships between hydrology and ecology, 2) hydraulic modeling, and 3) use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Through this process, study teams define existing ecologic conditions, highlight promising restoration sites, and assess alternatives according to predicted ecosystem changes. HEC-EFM has many strengths, most notably it 1) is capable of testing change for many ecological relationships and management scenarios, 2) links ecology with established hydrologic, hydraulic, and GIS tools, and 3) can be applied quickly, inexpensively, and can incorporate expert knowledge. This paper introduces HEC-EFM and describes its use for statistical analyses and habitat mapping. Two examples are provided: Provision of Sacramento splittail minnow spawning habitat, San Joaquin River, California, USA, and cottonwood seedling establishment, Bill Williams River, Arizona, USA.

T1 - An integrated modeling approach for elucidating the effects of different management strategies on Chesapeake Bay oyster metapopulation dynamics. JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2015/07/24/ VL - 308 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 62 SN - 03043800 AB - Eastern oyster abundance is at an all-time low, yet this species is a key component of many estuarine systems because it contributes to ecosystem function by providing habitat, improving water quality, stabilizing benthic and intertidal habitat, increasing landscape diversity and producing more oysters. Given the breadth of environmental benefits oysters provide, as well as their commercial and cultural importance, sustainable oyster production has become a priority in several regions, including the Chesapeake Bay. Current strategies include treating restored reefs as permanent sanctuaries, which provide long-term environmental benefits yet removes them from the fishery, or harvesting reefs on a rotational basis, which provides economic value yet decreases environmental benefits. The long term dynamics of these strategies is unknown. Oysters have a complex, biphasic life cycle (i.e., sessile adult and motile larval stages) and their viability is intimately tied to a suite of environmental factors including, but not limited to, flow regime, total suspended solids, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. In order to determine how different oyster management strategies affect oyster dynamics, we developed a multi-model approach that integrates a 2-D hydrodynamic model, a larval transport model, and a spatially-explicit, agent-based population dynamics model to simulate long term oyster dynamics. We applied our model to a ten reef system in the Great Wicomico River in the Chesapeake Bay, and simulated six different combinations of sanctuary and/or harvest management scenarios over an 8-year period. We evaluated the environmental and commercial benefits of each strategy. Our results indicated that sanctuary reefs are beneficial, and that the spatial position of sanctuary reefs strongly affected source-sink dynamics and must be considered before implementing a harvest regime. Simulations that did not consider the source/sink dynamics of the reefs yielded larger numbers of oysters for harvest in the short-term, yet resulted in a complete fishery collapse in the long term. Selective, rotational harvest, resulted in lower annual yield, but the fishery persisted throughout the eight year simulation. This integrated modeling approach helped reduce uncertainty within the study system and can help natural resource managers understand ecosystem-level processes leading to more informed decision making across spatial and temporal scales.

Hurricane Irene (2011) crossed a large, shallow lagoonal estuarine system in North Carolina, causing flooding and erosion of the adjacent low-lying coastal plain and barrier islands. This event provided an opportunity to improve understanding of the estuarine response to strong and rotating wind forcing. Observations from acoustic sensors in subestuaries and water-level elevation measurements from a network of pressure sensors across the system are presented. Data are examined with two modeling techniques: (1) a simple numerical approach using a momentum balance between the wind stress, flow acceleration, pressure gradient, and bottom friction that gives insight into temporal variability in water levels through the passage of the storm; and (2) an advanced hydrodynamic model based on the full shallow water fluid momentum equations, coupled to a spectral surface wave model that accounts for the spatially varying bathymetry and wind field. The results indicate that both wind-generated surface waves and the wind-driven storm surge are important contributors to the total water surface elevations that induce flooding along estuarine shorelines under strong hurricane forcing.

JO - Journal of Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 141 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 07339372 AB - The United States Army is constructing a new water-treatment facility for Fort Irwin/National Training Center in the Mojave Desert region of southern California to address existing regulatory requirements and to account for anticipated expansion at the installation. The proposed treatment, electrodialysis reversal (EDR), is anticipated to recover 92% of the influent water. The ultimate goal was to achieve 99% recovery, which required additional recovery of the EDR concentrate. This paper describes laboratory testing of conventional watertreatment methods to achieve water recovery beyond standard practice. The effectiveness of lime softening followed by secondary reverse osmosis (RO) was evaluated to treat the concentrate stream and recover additional water to approach 98%. Partial lime softening at dosages of 500 - 2,000 mg/L of hydrated lime was capable of removing hardness from simulated EDR concentrate. Adding magnesium chloride to the lime softening step increased silica removal, bringing SiO2 concentrations in the simulated EDR concentrate from 110 to 6.8 mg/L at room temperature. The resulting treated water was suitable for effective reverse osmosis with a standard seawater polyamide membrane. Rejection for all of the dissolved constituents was well above 90% with the exception of arsenic, which was reduced from 50 μg/L to levels on the order of 20 μg/L. To achieve 99% recovery, mechanical vapor recompression is being considered to further recover the concentrate from the RO unit, although this unit process was not evaluated in the research reported in this paper.

T1 - A decision making framework with MODFLOW-FMP2 via optimization: Determining trade-offs in crop selection. JO - Environmental Modelling & Software JF - Environmental Modelling & Software Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 69 M3 - Article SP - 280 EP - 291 SN - 13648152 AB - Farmers in regions experiencing water stress or drought conditions can struggle to balance their crop portfolios. Periods of low precipitation often lead to increased, unsustainable reliance on groundwater-supplied irrigation. As a result, regional water management agencies place limits on the amount of water which can be obtained from groundwater, requiring farmers to reduce acreage for more water-intensive crops or remove them from the portfolio entirely. Real-time decisions must be made by the farmer to ensure viability of their farming operation and reduce the impacts associated with limited water resources. Evolutionary algorithms, coupled with accurate, flexible, realistic simulation tools, are ideal mechanisms to allow farmers to assess scenarios with regard to multiple, competing objectives. In order to effective, however, one must be able to select among a variety of simulation tools and optimization algorithms. Many simulation tools allow no access to the source code, and many optimization algorithms are now packaged as part of a suite of tools available to a user. In this work, we describe a framework for integrating these different software components using only their associated input and output streams. We analyze our strategy by coupling a multi-objective genetic algorithm available in the DAKOTA optimization suite (developed and distributed by Sandia National Laboratory) with the MODFLOW-FMP2 simulation tool (developed and distributed by the United States Geological Survey). MODFLOW-FMP2 has been used extensively to model hydrological and farming processes in agriculture-dominated regions, allowing us to represent both farming and conservation interests. We evaluate our integration by considering a case study related to planting decisions facing farmers experiencing water stress. We present numerical results for three competing objectives associated with stakeholders in a given region (i.e., profitability, meeting demand targets, and water conservation). The data obtained from the optimization are robust with respect to algorithmic parameter choices, validating the ability of the associated evolutionary algorithm to perform well without expert guidance. This is integral to our approach, as a motivation for this work is providing decision-making tools. In addition, the results from this study demonstrate that output from the chosen evolutionary algorithm provides a suite of feasible planting scenarios, giving farmers and policy makers the ability to compromise solutions based on realistic simulation data.

T1 - Risk assessment of occupational injuries using Accident Severity Grade. JO - Safety Science JF - Safety Science Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 76 M3 - Article SP - 160 EP - 167 SN - 09257535 AB - Problem In spite of recent efforts to improve occupational health and safety, many occupational accidents result in serious injury and death every year. Continued efforts are therefore necessary to improve current safety initiatives and reduce the frequency and severity of these incidents. To identify workplace hazards, many safety surveillance techniques have been used, including severity metrics to determine the significance of an accident. These techniques involve risk assessment to identify potential hazards and the expected severity of injuries which may result from these hazards, usually based on the severity of similar past injuries. However, these severity metrics do not consider important employee and workplace risk factors, such as age, gender, and weather, which may have significant impacts on accident severity. Method A new severity scoring system is introduced which considers multiple injury severity factors, and is used as part of a novel three-dimensional risk assessment matrix which includes an incident’s severity, frequency, and preventability. A case study using the proposed methodology with real data is presented. Discussion The consideration of additional severity factors improves risk assessment and the estimation of injury severity. A three dimensional risk assessment matrix allows for the analysis of an incident’s degree of preventability, frequency, and severity all at once. Practical Applications This study demonstrates that organizations, industries, and regulatory bodies can improve workplace safety surveillance tools by incorporating this new severity metric in a three-dimensional risk assessment matrix.

JO - Ecological Restoration JF - Ecological Restoration Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 33 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 358 EP - 377 SN - 15434060 AB - Wetland restoration has emerged as an important tool for counteracting and restoring lost ecological services resulting from urban and agricultural development. Over the last 20 years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) modeling has also become a powerful mechanism for prioritizing potential wetland restoration sites across a variety of geographic scales. Although numerous studies have created GIS-based models for a variety of uses, no one has comprehensively analyzed and compared models to determine best practices and inform future site selection efforts. We performed a comprehensive literature review of GIS-based wetland prioritization models. We found no congruency between stated objectives, specific variables and metrics, and respective weighting and scoring systems. We then performed a case study, applying these findings to explore potential improvements to the spatial decision support system (SDSS) used by the Mississippi Coastal Improvement Program (MsCIP; USA), a large-scale coastal restoration project aimed at improving the resiliency and reducing flood risk after significant damage from Hurricane Katrina (2005). This case study draws on several stateof- the-art practices in the literature to retroactively study potential improvements in the SDSS's flexibility and accuracy in identifying potential wetland restoration sites. Our findings suggest improvements for wetland restoration prioritization models (including consistent variable use and ground-truthing) that could better direct future federal initiatives, as well as a wide range of domestic and international wetland restoration programs.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 35 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 511 EP - 520 SN - 21945403 AB - A cumulative effect analysis (CEA) is a tool that can be utilized for the review of multiple anthropogenic projects or activities for the purposes of planning, regulation, conservation, or the general evaluation of environmental health. Such an assessment is problematic because spatially consistent and temporally repeated data informing the condition of a location are often not available. When such data can be identified, the potential response of that resource to additional impacts may be unpredictable. Despite these limitations, in many cases, it may be critical to identify those locations for further scrutiny which may be vulnerable to collective impacts from development or other environmental challenges. Here, we present an approach which considers the vulnerability of aquatic resources in relation to the anticipated effects of development-related activities that could be used to identify locations where the potential for cumulative effects is the greatest. This application considers CEA in the context of identifying where development-related activities of minimal impact may be viewed as relatively more substantial when viewed cumulatively. We identify HUC 8-level watersheds where the current resource condition and anticipated development-related activities may have greater potential to result in an impact on watershed condition (i.e., water quality, water quantity, and habitat value). The vulnerability of the watershed was estimated from the number, type, and location of a specific suite of reported activities. The existing condition of the watershed was measured as a function of existing assessments of resource conditions. The relationship between the vulnerability and the existing watershed condition was used to project future conditions and to identify watersheds that warrant further scrutiny. This is a unique approach to CEA which allows for transparent, repeatable identification of watersheds which may be adversely impacted by further activities or projects.

This project's data stems from a three-part multi-method, including a survey conducted in Iraq; a document analysis; and interviews. This article focuses on numerous subthemes that coalesce to vividly divulge an intriguing story about how contemporary advisors build relationships with counterparts, including avoiding an “Ugly American” approach, how cross-cultural competence benefits the mission and increases survivability, learning about counterparts, the power of informal socializing, employing humor, navigating taboo topics, cultural stretching and associated limits, diplomatically balancing strength and subtlety, and taking physical and cultural risks. This project argues that effective advisors deploy a multifaceted cultural toolkit filled with peacekeeper-diplomat, warrior, subject matter expert, innovator, leader, and other tools, which reveals broader organizational changes indicative of emergent postmodern US military culture.

This increased load can negatively affect posture and lead to back pain. The ability to quantitatively measure muscle thickness under loading would be valuable to clinicians to assess the effectiveness of core stabilization treatment programs and could aid in return to work decisions. Ultrasound imaging (USI) has the potential to provide such a measure, but to be useful it must be reliable. Purpose: To assess the intrarater and interrater reliability of measurements of transversus abdominis (TrA) and internal oblique (IO) muscle thickness conducted by novice examiners using USI in supine, standing, and with an axial load. Study Design: Prospective, test-retest study Methods: Healthy, active duty military (N = 33) personnel were examined by two physical therapy doctoral students (primary and secondary ultrasound technicians) without prior experience in USI. Thickness measurements of the TrA and IO muscles were performed at rest and during a contraction to preferentially activate the TrA in three positions (hook-lying, standing, and standing with body armor). Percent thickness changes and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. Results: Using the mean of three measurements for each of the three positions in resting and contracted muscle states, the intrarater ICC (3,3) values ranged from 0.90 to 0.98. The interrater ICC (2,1) values ranged from 0.39 to 0.79. The ICC values of percent thickness changes were lower than the individual ICC values for all positions and muscle states. Conclusion: There is excellent intrarater reliability of novice ultrasound technicians measuring abdominal muscle thickness using USI in three positions during the resting and contracted muscle states. However, interrater reliability of two novice technicians was poor to fair, so additional training and experience may be necessary to improve reliability.

SN - 15592723 AB - A long-term (2002-2011), spatially robust, ichthyoplankton sampling program conducted in the New York/New Jersey Harbor produced 3,033 epibenthic samples from which the relationships between winter flounder egg and larval distributions and environmental parameters were examined. Variations in water temperature, sediment characteristics, and tidal phase were all significantly associated with egg distributions. Inferences about spawning habitats were based on the presence of early-stage eggs (ES1 and ES2). In the Lower Bay (LB), these habitats were primarily non-channel and characterized by more sandy substrates, averaging 96.5 % sand, 2.3 % silt/clay, 0.2 % total organic carbon (TOC), and shallower water (average depths of 5.3 m) compared to LB non-channel stations without ES1 and ES2 eggs (50.2 % sand, 42.0 % silt/clay, 2.1 % TOC, and 7.9 m depths). Occurrences of all stages of eggs in channels were associated with strong tides and severe cold winter water temperatures. These conditions increase the probability of egg transport from shallow spawning sites through increased vertical mixing (strong tides) and delayed development that prolongs the risk of displacement (cold temperatures). Yolk-sac (YS) and Stage-2 larvae were smaller in 2010 when spring water temperatures were highest. Overall, YS larval size decreased with warmer winters (cumulative degree-days for the month preceding peak YS larval collections, r = 0.82, p < 0.05). In all years, YS larvae collected in LB were smaller and Stage-3 larvae collected in channels were larger and possibly older than those from non-channel habitat. Because estuarine winter flounder populations are highly localized, adverse effects experienced during egg and larval stages are likely to propagate resulting in detrimental consequences for the year class in the natal estuary.

To develop a consensus statement, potential benefits, risks, and strategies to optimize military performance through PS use were considered in the context of specific warfighter populations and occupational demands. To maintain muscle mass, strength, and performance during periods of substantial metabolic demand and concomitant negative energy balance the panel recommended that warfighters consume 1.5-2.0 g · kg-1 ·d-1 of protein. However, if metabolic demand is low, such as in garrison, protein intake should equal the current Military Dietary Reference Intake (0.8-1.5 g · kg-1 · d-1). Although PS use generally appears to be safe for healthy adults, warfighters should be educated on PS quality, given quality-control and contamination concerns with commercial dietary supplements. To achieve recommended protein intakes, the panel strongly urges consumption of high-quality protein-containing whole foods. However, when impractical, the use of PSs (20-25 g per serving or 0.25-0.3 g · kg-1 per meal), particularly after periods of strenuous physical activity (e.g., military training, combat patrols, and exercise), is acceptable. The committee acknowledges the need for further study of protein requirements for extreme, military-specific environmental conditions and whether unique metabolic stressors associated with military service alter protein requirements for aging warfighters.

Prior work established in theory and validated in a flume study a method known as integrated section surface difference over time version 2 (ISSDOTv2), which computes bed-load transport using sequential three dimensional (3D) bathymetric profiles. The same work identified a source of systemic error leading to an underprediction of computed transport rates. This paper demonstrates how the systemic error can be removed from ISSDOTv2 calculations to produce a more accurate dune transport value. This is demonstrated by analytic and geometric examples, and with field data from the Missouri River at Kansas City. The results of these analyses indicate that field data do exhibit the systematic error and that it is possible to extrapolate a corrected dune bed-load transport rate from field data obtained at different measurement intervals. Additionally, error bounds on this corrected value can be set. Independent validation of the resulting transport rate was not attempted due to the unreliability of physical measurements for bed-load transport in large sand-bed rivers.

Such programs raise the difficult question for policymakers and regulated businesses of which alternatives are 'viable' and 'safer.' To address that question, these programs use 'alternatives analysis,' an emerging methodology that integrates issues of human health and environmental effects with technical feasibility and economic impact. Despite the central role that alternatives analysis plays in these programs, the methodology itself is neither well-developed nor tailored to application in regulatory settings. This study uses the case of Pb-based bar solder and its non-Pb-based alternatives to examine the application of 2 multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods to alternatives analysis: multi-attribute utility analysis and outranking. The article develops and evaluates an alternatives analysis methodology and supporting decision-analysis software for use in a regulatory context, using weighting of the relevant decision criteria generated from a stakeholder elicitation process. The analysis produced complete rankings of the alternatives, including identification of the relative contribution to the ranking of each of the highest level decision criteria such as human health impacts, technical feasibility, and economic feasibility. It also examined the effect of variation in data conventions, weighting, and decision frameworks on the outcome. The results indicate that MCDA can play a critical role in emerging prevention-based regulatory programs. Multi-criteria decision analysis methods offer a means for transparent, objective, and rigorous analysis of products and processes, providing regulators and stakeholders with a common baseline understanding of the relative performance of alternatives and the trade-offs they present.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 627 EP - 638 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - A common approach to re-establishing cottonwood-willow habitat along regulated rivers is through installing dormant, rootless cuttings, yet there is little published information exploring floodplain characteristics that optimize growth of southwestern riparian willows planted in this manner. The goal of this project was to evaluate relationships between growth attributes of Salix exigua and soil texture and soil water availability. Monitoring plots were established in five willow swales planted with dormant S. exigua cuttings along the banks of the Middle Rio Grande in central New Mexico. Data analysis revealed significantly higher aerial cover, height, and stem density for S. exigua plants installed in plots with intermediate levels (15-25%) of fine textured soils distributed through the soil profile. Similar relationships were found in relation to soil water availability. Regression analysis of percent fines and available water at different depth increments provided limited explanation of variability in willow growth attributes at different plots. Findings indicate that S. exigua plants established from cuttings can achieve heights and aerial cover values similar to naturally established willow bars if the floodplain soil profile contains intermediate levels of fine textured soils and the maximum depth to groundwater is within 1.5 m of the ground surface. Where sites are dominated by coarse sand, S. exigua growth may be improved if maximum depth to groundwater is within 1 m of the ground surface.

JO - Arctic JF - Arctic Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 66 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 257 EP - 268 PB - Arctic Institute of North America SN - 00040843 AB - The Arctic ecosystem is changing rapidly, yet information on nearshore fish assemblages for the northeastern Chukchi Sea is extremely limited. To address this information gap, we sampled nearshore fish assemblages with a beach seine and a small bottom trawl at six stations in the northeastern Chukchi Sea in August 2007, 2008, and 2009, and in September 2009. Catch and species composition differed by gear type and between sample periods, including the two in 2009. A total of 16 039 fish representing 18 species were captured in 24 beach seine hauls, and 3108 fish representing 24 species were captured in 48 trawl tows. Beach seine catch was dominated by capelin (83%), and trawl catch was dominated by Arctic cod (56%). Species that were good discriminators between gear types were capelin (seine) and slender eelblenny (trawl), and unidentified small sculpins were the most common taxa caught with both gear types. Capelin and Arctic cod captured by either gear type were mostly juveniles (judging by size). Variability among sampling periods in catch and species composition within gear types can likely be attributed to annual variations in environmental conditions, including differences in water temperature (range: 2∘ - 9∘C). The shallow nearshore environment of the northeastern Chukchi Sea provides important habitat for many fish species and is extremely vulnerable to disturbance. Loss of sea ice from global warming may open up formerly inaccessible areas to oil and gas exploration, vessel traffic, and commercial fishing. Thus, long-term monitoring of nearshore fish assemblages in the Alaskan Arctic is necessary for managers to make informed decisions in this fragile environment.

Afin de combler ce besoin en information, nous avons échantillonné des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral à l'aide d'une senne de plage et d'un petit chalut de fond à six stations du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches en août 2007, 2008 et 2009, puis en septembre 2009. La composition des prises et des espèces différait en fonction du type d'équipement et des périodes d'échantillonnage, notamment entre les deux périodes de 2009. En tout, 16 039 poissons représentant 18 espèces ont été capturés dans 24 coups de filet de senne de plage, et 3 108 poissons représentant 24 espèces ont été capturés dans 48 traits de chalut. Les prises de senne de plage étaient principalement constituées de capelans (83 %), tandis que la morue polaire (56 %) dominait les prises de chalut. Les espèces qui faisaient une bonne discrimination entre les types d'équipement étaient le capelan (senne) et la lompénie de Fabricius (chalut), et les petits chabots non identifiés étaient les taxons les plus courants à avoir été attrapés avec les deux types d'équipement. Les capelans et les morues polaires capturés par l'un ou l'autre des types d'équipement étaient surtout juvéniles (d'après leur taille). La variabilité de la composition des prises et des espèces entre les périodes d'échantillonnage est vraisemblablement attribuable à la variation annuelle des conditions environnementales, dont les différences de température de l'eau (écart entre 2∘ et 9∘ C). Le milieu sublittoral peu profond du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches est un habitat important pour de nombreuses espèces de poissons et est extrêmement vulnérable aux perturbations. La perte de glace de mer attribuable au réchauffement planétaire risque d'ouvrir des zones anciennement inaccessibles à l'exploration pétrolière et gazière, à la circulation d'embarcations et à la pêche commerciale. Par conséquent, la surveillance à long terme des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral de la partie alaskienne de l'Arctique s'impose pour que les gestionnaires puissent prendre des décisions éclairées dans cet environnement fragile.

JO - Journal of Freshwater Ecology JF - Journal of Freshwater Ecology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 28 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 355 EP - 363 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 02705060 AB - Headwater streams derive a majority of their energy from allochthonous inputs; alter-ation of these inputs may lead to changes in stream communities and ecological func-tion. Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) is invasive over much of the northern United States and southern Canada, and has the potential to become an ecosystem dominant and alter stream communities. However, while much is known of the effects of buckthorn on terrestrial ecosystems, little is known of its effects on aquatic ecosys-tems. Using leaf collection nets, we estimated that leaf fall to the stream consisted pre-dominantly of green ash (69.0%) and common buckthorn (24.2%). Green ash leaves fell from September through mid-October, reaching its peak in early October, whereas common buckthorn contributed leaves for an additional month until mid-November. We placed leaf packs of common buckthorn and two native species, American elm and green ash, in a headwater stream to determine differences in leaf decomposition rates. Common buckthorn leaves decomposed more rapidly than the native species, with processing coefficients of 6.9 (ash) and 5.3 (elm) times greater. After 21 days of incubation, buckthorn leaf packs had less than half the initial biomass remaining, whereas ash and elm did not reach this point within this 84-day study. These results suggest that buckthorn has the potential to alter stream food webs by changing the tim-ing of leaf fall and the duration of available allochthonous energy sources. Changes to riparian forests are likely to be exacerbated as common buckthorn alters soils to inhibit the growth of other trees and as the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle, adversely affects native ash forests.

SN - 13850237 AB - Biased sex ratios can have conservation consequences for dioecious plant species with small population sizes because of an increased risk of single sex populations. Biased sex ratios have been observed in two of the three species of Lindera (Lauraceae) in the eastern United States, but have not been documented for Lindera subcoriacea, a rare shrub of the southeastern USA. We inventoried 78 of 118 populations in North Carolina over a 3 year period, documenting the location, community type, and sex, of 299 individuals. In addition, we measured the stem height and diameter for 245 individuals. We examined population persistence relative to historical population size estimates. Average population size was 7.9 individuals and 72 % of visited populations were extant. There was a significant positive correlation between historical estimates of population size and persistence. Lindera subcoriacea consistently had male-biased (58 %) sex ratios across all population sizes and vegetation communities. Males and females had similar stem heights (mean 200.4 vs. 187.8 cm, respectively) and diameters (1.3 vs. 1.2 cm, respectively) across years and were not spatially segregated within populations. It is unclear at what stage biased sex ratios arise in L. subcoriacea, but results suggest that the causes operate across vegetation communities and population sizes. The weak bias exhibited in L. subcoriacea sex ratios has limited implications for the species' conservation except where spatially isolated populations are unisexual. Given the vulnerability of small L. subcoriacea populations to extirpation, they should be high priority targets for management.

Headwater streams are central to this issue because many periodically dry, and because little is known about their influence on navigable waters. An accurate account of the extent and flow permanence of headwater streams is critical to estimating downstream contributions. We compared the extent and permanence of headwater streams from two field surveys with values from databases and maps. The first used data from 29 headwater streams in nine U.S. forests, whereas the second had data from 178 headwater streams in Oregon. Synthetic networks developed from the nine-forest survey indicated that 33 to 93% of the channel lacked year-round flow. Seven of the nine forests were predicted to have >200% more channel length than portrayed in the high-resolution National Hydrography Dataset ( NHD). The NHD and topographic map classifications of permanence agreed with ~50% of the field determinations across ~300 headwater sites. Classification agreement with the field determinations generally increased with increasing resolution. However, the flow classification on soil maps only agreed with ~30% of the field determination despite depicting greater channel extent than other maps. Maps that include streams regardless of permanence and size will aid regulatory decisions and are fundamental to improving water quality monitoring and models.

A brief description of the theoretical basis and risk assessment in CADET is presented. Validation comparisons between CADET predictions and field measurements of wave-induced vertical motions at Ambrose Channel, New York, are presented. Prototype ship motions were measured with a differential global positioning system in April 1998 along three 488-m-long reaches. Comparisons were made with six ships, three tankers and three containerships, during inbound and outbound transits. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field measurements reasonably well, especially considering the wave heights were relatively small during the measurement period.

JO - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering JF - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 139 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 326 EP - 335 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 0733950X AB - The Lower Mississippi River protrudes into the Gulf of Mexico, and manmade levees line only the west bank for 55 km of the Lower Plaquemines section. Historically, sustained easterly winds from hurricanes have directed surge across Breton Sound, into the Mississippi River and against its west bank levee, allowing for surge to build and then propagate efficiently upriver and thus increase water levels past New Orleans. This case study applies a new and extensively validated basin- to channel-scale, high-resolution, unstructured-mesh ADvanced CIRCulation model to simulate a suite of historical and hypothetical storms under low to high river discharges. The results show that during hurricanes, (1) total water levels in the lower river south of Pointe à La Hache are only weakly dependent on river flow, and easterly wind-driven storm surge is generated on top of existing ambient strongly flow-dependent river stages, so the surge that propagates upriver reduces with increasing river flow; (2) natural levees and adjacent wetlands on the east and west banks in the Lower Plaquemines capture storm surge in the river, although not as effectively as the manmade levees on the west bank; and (3) the lowering of manmade levees along this Lower Plaquemines river section to their natural state, to allow storm surge to partially pass across the Mississippi River, will decrease storm surge upriver by 1 to 2 m between Pointe à La Hache and New Orleans, independent of river flow.

The cross-shore numerical model is extended to the landward zone of the wave transmission. The extended model is compared with 148 tests for a reef breakwater with a narrow crest at or above the still water level where the narrow crest was lowered by wave action. The model is also compared with an experiment on a wide-crested submerged breakwater in which the crest height increased during 20-h wave action. The damage, crest height, and wave transmission coefficient are predicted reasonably well; however, the damaged profile is not predicted accurately.

JO - Ground Water JF - Ground Water Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 539 EP - 549 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0017467X AB - Implementation of aquifer storage recovery (ASR) for water resource management in Florida is impeded by arsenic mobilization. Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during the recharge phase, sometimes results in groundwater concentrations that exceed the 10 µg/L criterion defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act. ASR was proposed as a major storage component for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), in which excess surface water is stored during the wet season, and then distributed during the dry season for ecosystem restoration. To evaluate ASR system performance for CERP goals, three cycle tests were conducted, with extensive water-quality monitoring in the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) at the Kissimmee River ASR (KRASR) pilot system. During each cycle test, redox evolution from sub-oxic to sulfate-reducing conditions occurs in the UFA storage zone, as indicated by decreasing Fe2+/H2S mass ratios. Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during recharge, is sequestered during storage and recovery by co-precipitation with iron sulfide. Mineral saturation indices indicate that amorphous iron oxide (a sorption surface for arsenic) is stable only during oxic and sub-oxic conditions of the recharge phase, but iron sulfide (which co-precipitates arsenic) is stable during the sulfate-reducing conditions of the storage and recovery phases. Resultant arsenic concentrations in recovered water are below the 10 µg/L regulatory criterion during cycle tests 2 and 3. The arsenic sequestration process is appropriate for other ASR systems that recharge treated surface water into a sulfate-reducing aquifer.

Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

Emerging manufacturing technology, such as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is making mass customization possible in commercial industry. If the Army could produce tailored military ground vehicles that incorporate mission-specific tactics, it would outperform generic systems. To produce such systems, a new systems engineering (SE) process should be developed. Virtual environments are central to the proposed SE/2025 process because they provide a sandbox where soldiers and engineers might directly collaborate to codevelop tactics and technologies simultaneously. The authors' intent is to describe how ground vehicle systems might be developed in 2025 as well as to describe current efforts underway to shape the future.

The number of positive scientific articles supporting these claims is rapidly increasing, leading the military to examine the possibility of omega-3 supplementation for personnel. A variety of menus used either in shipboard or garrison feeding include fatty fishes that are rich in omega-3 FAs. However, omega-3 FAs have shelf-stability issues because of their susceptibility to oxidize; therefore, they create a challenge in terms of incorporation into ration components in nutritionally significant amounts. As a result, the Department of Defense Combat Feeding Directorate is investigating methods, technologies, and emerging products for incorporation of omega-3s into ration components. Based on existing research, fortification of foods with omega-3 FAs would improve nutritional quality as well as provide added benefit to the Warfighters.

Two hundred-sixty Phase II Army Practical Nursing students were randomized into two groups and trained to perform an IV cannulation procedure. All students watched a 12-minute training video covering standard IV placement procedures. Afterward, both groups practiced the procedure for an hour according to their assigned group. Students were then tested on IV placement in a live human arm using a 14-item testing instrument in three trials that were scored pass/fail. There was no difference in the groups’ performance of the IV procedure on the first attempt: 51.7% (n = 92) of the human arm group passed the test, and 48.3% (n = 86) of the rubber mannequin group passed the test (p = 0.074). These data suggest that using rubber mannequin IV arms for IV skills training may be just as effective as training students using traditional methods. In addition, using simulation provides an extra benefit of reducing risks associated with learning the procedure on a fellow student.

Methods: A retrospective review of the teledermatology program between 2004 and 2012 was evaluated based on defined outcome measures. In addition, 658 teledermatology cases were reviewed to assess how the program was utilized by health care providers from 2011 to 2012. Results: As high as 98% of the teledermatology consults were answered within 24 hours, and 23% of consults within 1 hour. The most common final diagnoses included eczematous dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and evaluation for nonmelanoma skin cancer. The most common medications recommended included topical corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, antihistamines, and emollients. Biopsy was most commonly recommended for further evaluation. Following teleconsultation, 46 dermatologic evacuations were “avoided” as the patient was not evacuated based on the consultants’ recommendation. Consultants’ recommendations to the referring provider “facilitated” 41 evacuations. Conclusion: Telemedicine in the U.S. military has provided valuable dermatology support to providers in remote locations by delivering appropriate and timely consultation for military service members and coalition partners. In addition to avoiding unnecessary medical evacuations, the program facilitated appropriate evacuations that may otherwise have been delayed.

Musculoskeletal injury also is one of the most prevalent battle and nonbattle-related deployed injury types. Both injuries threaten the service member’s physical condition as well as unit and mission readiness due to reduced duty status or evacuation from military theater of operations. In August 2010, the Concussion Restoration Care Center (CRCC) was established at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, to address the need for consistent and specialized evaluation and care of concussion and musculoskeletal injury. This performance improvement effort examined evaluation and treatment of concussion and musculoskeletal injury at the CRCC. Among 4,947 military personnel evaluated at the CRCC between August 2010 and May 2013, 97.9% were returned to duty and retained in theater. Members averaged 10 to 12 days of limited duty status to achieve complete recovery. Concussion injury was secondary to blast injury in 90% of cases. Sport/recreation, occupational, and other accidental injuries each represented 30% of the musculoskeletal injuries with only 10% reported as result of combat. The utilization patterns and outcome measures demonstrate the success and utility of a multidisciplinary clinical model of care for these two types of injuries in the far-forward deployed setting.

A total of 10,692 SMs completed the April 2008 Status of Forces Survey of Active Duty Members. The survey asked about demographics, personal stress and occupational stress, injuries from any cause, and participation in sports- and exercise- related activities in the past year. The survey used a complex sampling procedure to create a representative sample of SMs. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations of injury outcomes with potential risk factors. 49% of SMs sought medical care for an injury in the past year and 25% sustained a sports- and exercise-related activities injury. Odds of injury were higher for the Army and Marine Corps than for the Air Force or Navy. This survey showed that higher personal and occupational stress was associated with higher risks of injury. SMs who experienced higher levels of personal or occupational stress reported higher risks of injuries. The effects of stress reduction programs on injury risks should be evaluated in military and other young physically active populations.

When peripheral venous access is indicated but cannot be obtained, the intraosseous route represents an alternative. The Bone Injection Gun (BIG) is the device used for intraosseous access by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). The purpose of this study is to assess the success rate of intraosseous access using this device. Method: The IDF Trauma Registry from 1999 to 2012 was searched for patients for whom at least 1 attempt at intraosseous access was made. Results: 37 attempts at intraosseous access were identified in 30 patients. Overall success rate was 50%. No differences in success rates were identified between different care givers. Overall mortality was 87%. Conclusion: The use of BIG in the IDF was associated with a low success rate at obtaining intraosseous access. Although inability to achieve peripheral venous access can be considered an indicator for poor prognosis, the high mortality rate for patients treated with BIG can also stand for the provider’s low confidence in using this tool, making its use a last resort. This study serves as an example to ongoing learning process that includes data collection, analysis, and improvement, constantly taking place in the IDF.

A significant percentage of patients undergo CT scans to exclude intracranial bleeds. The Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) is designed to rapidly determine whether a concussion has occurred, (0-30 scale, where >25 is considered normal). Although not intended to be used in isolation, results in the normal range are considered an indication of low suspicion of brain injury. This study evaluated the relationship between CT findings of structural injury (CT+) and performance on the SAC. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study on mild head-injured patients presenting to the emergency department who underwent CT scans and had SAC evaluations. Results: We enrolled 368 patients, of which 66 were read by a neuroradiologist as positive (CT+), with an average age of 46.7, and an average Glasgow Coma Scale of 14.85. 38.2% of these CT+ patients had a SAC score >25. There were no significant differences between time of injury and CT scan or SAC for those with high or low SAC scores. Both high and low SAC groups contained similar CT+ abnormalities (e.g., hematomas). Conclusions: These results indicate that a normal SAC score alone does not exclude intracranial injury.

The power system consists of a small engine, a lead–acid battery, and an ultracapacitor. For simplicity of implementation and low hardware cost, engine control is restricted to two states, i.e., on and off, and vehicle speed control is restricted to three discrete levels, namely, high, medium, and low. The authors developed advanced algorithms for modeling and optimizing vehicle energy flow, machine learning of optimal control settings generated by dynamic programmling on real-world drive cycles, and an intelligent energy controller designed for online energy control based on knowledge about the driving mission and knowledge obtained through machine learning. The intelligent vehicle energy controller cognitive intelligent power management (CIPM) has been implemented and evaluated in a simulated vehicle model and in an ATV, i.e., Polaris Ranger EV, which was converted to an HEV. Experimental results show that the intelligent energy controller CIPM can lead to a significant improvement in fuel economy compared with the existing conventional vehicle controllers in an ATV.

In this article we introduce a linear integer programming model to determine optimal configuration of a conservation reserve with such properties. Connectivity can be defined either as structural (physical) connectivity or functional connectivity; the model developed here addresses both properties. We apply the model to identify the optimal conservation management areas for protection of Gopher Tortoise (GT) in a military installation, Ft. Benning, Georgia, which serves as a safe refuge for this ‘at risk’ species. The recent expansion in the military mission of the installation increases the pressure on scarce GT habitat areas, which requires moving some of the existent populations in those areas to suitably chosen new conservation management areas within the boundaries of the installation. Using the model, we find the most suitable and spatially coherent management areas outside the heavily used training areas.

JO - Coastal Management JF - Coastal Management Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 193 EP - 208 SN - 08920753 AB - The Civil Works mission area of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) spans multiple programs including navigation, flood risk management, infrastructure construction and operation, and environmental stewardship–including restoration and regulation of protected waterways. The national scope of USACE activities means that habitat preservation and restoration projects vary in size and type, while often intersecting spatially with projects under other USACE missions. This intersection can create management challenges that must be resolved. Two USACE initiatives, Engineering With Nature and Regional Sediment Management, explore and implement best practices that combine natural processes and restoration needs with management requirements. This article presents four case studies describing initiatives to 1) design, rehabilitate, and manage infrastructure in alignment with natural processes; 2) manage sediments on a regional scale to support the re-use of material removed from navigation channels for coastal and riverine resiliency, and 3) develop landscape-level plans for waterways management to support conservation efforts. The cumulative effect of multiple efforts to restore functionality lost through anthropogenic alterations and long-term geological change is expected to be a more resilient system at the landscape scale. However, challenges remain in quantifying resilience and the benefits provided by ecosystem services that are affected by management actions.

They calculate a tapered geometry that preserves an effective half wavelength resonance within a cavity partially loaded with an anisotropic medium. This design results in an antenna profile of λo/24, with 1.4 octaves of bandwidth, and a realised gain of 3.3-7.2 dB from 210 to 505 MHz. Using an adaption of a coaxial line to waveguide transition, which utilises two flat rectangular probes as a two-port matching network, as well as an external 180° hybrid coupler as a phase splitter, they achieve a voltage standing wave ratio of better than 2:1 across the whole band.

Much of the early development of archery was based on designing archery equipment for a military application. In addition to using bows and arrows for weapons, they were also used for hunting, leisure activities, and contests. During the 14th century in England, archery practice was mandatory for all able-bodied men. The advent of gunpowder led to the decline of archery as a tool of war and hunting and led to the increased development of firearm activities. Organized firearms shooting began in Europe when the first shooting clubs were formed. Public shooting matches were first seen in Europe around the 16th century and in America in the early 1700s. The rules for shooting sports began to standardize when the National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in the United States in 1871 and the National Archery Association (NAA) was formed in 1879. This article will provide the reader with tips on how to construct archery ranges as well as rifle and pistol facilities. Further, it will speak to the risk management and safety issues related to these shooting areas. Finally, it will describe common pieces of equipment used in these facilities.

Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

Concentrations of RDX in soil, soil pore water, and surface water runoff were decreased by 75, 75, and 98%, respectively, compared to the control, even though extensive live fire training continued throughout the demonstration. Zinc, the predominant metal contaminant, was reduced by 98% in surface water runoff compared to the untreated control. Although the source zone soil achieved the target pH of following lime application, the soil pore water and surface runoff water remained at , protecting groundwater and surface receiving waters from the potentially distressing high pH water. Hydrated lime application was accomplished in a few hours by using readily available equipment. Treatment cost was less than $2,250 per bay per year (2012) with primary cost variables dictated by site geochemistry, climate, availability of hydrated lime, range operations and maintenance, and necessary application equipment. Hydrated lime has proven itself to be a simple, innovative, and cost-effective technology to prevent munition constituents from migrating to local surface water or groundwater supplies.

JO - Journal of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Engineering JF - Journal of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Engineering Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 139 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 975 EP - 986 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 10900241 AB - This paper discusses the seismic retrofit of Tuttle Creek Dam near Manhattan, Kansas, including investigations, seismic analyses, design, construction, and stabilization techniques used. Original plans called for stabilization of the upstream and downstream slopes and installation of an upstream cutoff wall to reduce underseepage. However, constructability and dam safety issues, along with the results of refined seismic deformation analyses, led to cancellation of the jet grouted upstream slope stabilization and cutoff wall. Downstream slope stabilization was to be accomplished by jet grouting or soil mixing, but ultimately was accomplished using a self-hardening cement-bentonite (C-B) slurry to construct transverse shear walls. A total of 351 transverse shear walls were constructed along the downstream toe by primarily clamshell equipment. Typical shear walls are 13.7 m long, 1.2 m wide, and extend 18.9 m deep or about 6.1 m into the coarse foundation sands. The walls are spaced at 4.3 m on center along the downstream toe for a replacement ratio of about 29%. In addition to the transverse shear walls, the relief well collection ditch along the downstream toe was replaced with a buried collector system to further improve downstream stability and underseepage control.

Membrane feeding facilitates controlled experimentation of pathogen transmission during mosquito feeding. Sheep blood is commonly used due to its availability and low cost. We evaluated the impact of blood source (human, guinea pig, sheep, and hamster via direct feeding) on feeding rates, adult survival, fecundity, hatching rates, and developmental times for five species of laboratory-colonized mosquitoes (Anopheles dirus, An. cracens, An. minimus, An. sawadwongporni, and Ae. aegypti). We found that feeding rates differ among blood sources within mosquito species. Survival, fecundity, and hatching rates were lower in all Anopheles species and Ae. aegypti after membrane feeding on sheep blood. Survival rates seven days post-feeding on sheep blood were significantly lower (P<0.05) for An. dirus (84.2%), An. minimus (67.2%), An. sawadwongporni (51.5%), and An. cracens (35.5%) relative to other blood sources. An. minimus and An. sawadwongporni laid no eggs by seven days post-feeding with sheep blood, while An. dirus and An. cracens produced significantly fewer numbers of eggs and demonstrated significantly lower hatching rates relative to what was observed with the other blood sources. These findings support the conclusion that sheep blood is not a suitable blood source for laboratory rearing of Anopheles spp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Vector Ecology is the property of Society for Vector Ecology and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The stimuli are carbon dioxide, water vapor, warmth, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mosquitoes responded to this combination with a repertoire of blood-feeding behaviors that included upwind flight, landing, probing, and engorgement. Absence of carbon dioxide, water vapor, or ATP from the combination of stimuli or exposure to temperatures 12° C below or above human-host temperature (38° C) significantly attenuated blood-feeding behavior in both species. Although there is literature documenting the individual importance of each of these stimuli, our work represents the first instance where this combination of stimuli was found sufficient to elicit a complete repertoire of blood-feeding behaviors in these mosquitoes without involvement of any host specific odor. When mosquitoes were exposed to the four stimuli along with N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), feeding behavior was greatly suppressed. We hypothesize that a possible mode of action for DEET against these mosquitoes involves interference of warmth and/or water vapor receptors. An electrophysiological study designed to determine if DEET adversely affects the function of these receptors would be illuminating.

Mosquitoes were sampled between April, 2007 and December, 2010 at thirteen sites across seven administrative provinces and ecological zones. CDC light traps were used to collect mosquitoes while human-landing collection was conducted in five of the sites to target day-feeding Aedes (Stegomyia) species. Over 524,000 mosquitoes were collected and identified into 101 species, 30 of them known vectors of arboviruses endemic to Kenya. Ae. (Neomelaniconion) mcintoshi and Ae. (Aedimorphus) ochraceus were most abundant in Garissa in the arid northeastern province, and Mansonia uniformis and Mn. africana in semi-arid Baringo in the Rift Valley Province. Ae. ochraceus, Mn. africana and Mn. uniformis were also significant in Nyanza Province, while Ae. (Neomelaniconion) circumluteolus predominated in Budalangi, Western Province. Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti was predominant in Rabai in the Coast Province but insignificant in the western and Nyanza sites. Culex pipiens was abundant in Rift Valley and Nyanza Provinces around the lake shores. This study highlights the potential for emergence and re-emergence of arboviral diseases among vulnerable populations. This calls for comprehensive mapping of vector distribution and abundance for planning focused vector control measures.

Practitioners and advocates claim that the approach will lead to better water management, balancing interests more effectively and reducing the likelihood of costly legal delays. These claims are easy to make, but the benefits will only be realized if the process is conducted effectively. To provide guidance for how to conduct an effective collaborative modeling process, a task committee cosponsored by the Environmental Water Resources Institute ( EWRI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Institute for Water Resources developed a set of Principles and Best Practices for anyone who might convene or conduct collaborative modeling processes. The guidance is intended for both conflict resolution professionals and modelers, and our goal is to integrate these two fields in a way that will improve water resources planning and decision making. Here, the set of eight principles is presented along with a selection of associated best practices, illustrated by two different case examples.

Recognition that models play a significant role in the formulation and implementation of design and management strategies has encouraged the profession to consider how such models can be best implemented. Shared Vision Planning ( SVP) is a disciplined planning approach that combines traditional water resources planning methodologies with innovations such as structured public participation and the use of collaborative modeling, resulting in a more complete understanding and an integrative decision support tool. This study reviews these three basic components of SVP and explains how they are incorporated into a unified planning approach. The successful application of SVP is explored in three studies involving planning challenges: the National Drought Study, the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Study, and the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint/Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin Study. The article concludes by summarizing the advantages and limitations of this planning approach.

In recent decades, heat waves have generally become more frequent across the United States, while cold waves have been decreasing. While this is in keeping with expectations in a warming climate, it turns out that decadal variations in the number of U.S. heat and cold waves do not correlate well with the observed U.S. warming during the last century. Annual peak flow data reveal that river flooding trends on the century scale do not show uniform changes across the country. While flood magnitudes in the Southwest have been decreasing, flood magnitudes in the Northeast and north-central United States have been increasing. Confounding the analysis of trends in river flooding is multiyear and even multidecadal variability likely caused by both large-scale atmospheric circulation changes and basin-scale "memory" in the form of soil moisture. Droughts also have long-term trends as well as multiyear and decadal variability. Instrumental data indicate that the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the drought in the 1950s were the most significant twentieth-century droughts in the United States, while tree ring data indicate that the megadroughts over the twelfth century exceeded anything in the twentieth century in both spatial extent and duration. The state of knowledge of the factors that cause heat waves, cold waves, floods, and drought to change is fairly good with heat waves being the best understood.

Lower Knik Arm is an ideal system for this model evaluation because of the large tide range (approximately 10 m at Anchorage) and complex geometry of the system, which results in high velocities and the formation of numerous eddies throughout the study area. One eddy of primary importance is the one generated by Cairn Point, which occurs near the Port of Anchorage. Limitations of previous modeling studies and the availability of recent field data enabled this evaluation. The AdH results were compared with field data (water surface elevations, fluxes, and velocities) collected in August of 2002 and 2006, and favorable comparisons obtained for tidal amplification and eddy generation indicate that AdH reasonably reproduces the complex hydrodynamic conditions in lower Knik Arm. Simulations were also performed to investigate the importance of eddy viscosity specification, frictional specification, and bathymetry on the generation/evolution of eddies present in the system. Upon completion of the model validation, simulations were performed with modified Cairn Point configurations to investigate the impact to the eddy generated at the port. These results illustrate the variation in eddy generation through lengthening, lowering/reducing, or raising Cairn Point.

This framework has two fundamental components. The first is the development of a surrogate model for the rapid evaluation of hurricane waves, water levels, and run-up based on a small number of parameters describing each hurricane: hurricane landfall location and heading, central pressure, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. This surrogate model is developed using a response surface methodology fed by information from hundreds of precomputed, high-resolution Simulating Waves Nearshore ( SWAN) + Advanced Circulation Model for Oceanic, Coastal and Estuarine Waters ( ADCIRC) and One-Dimensional Boussinesq Model ( BOUSS-1D) runs. For a specific set of hurricane parameters (i.e., a specific landfalling hurricane), the surrogate model is able to evaluate the maximum wave height, water level, and run-up during the storm at a cost that is more than seven orders of magnitude less than the high-fidelity models and thus meets time constraints imposed by emergency managers and decision makers. The second component of this framework is a description of the uncertainty in the parameters used to characterize the hurricane through appropriate probability models, which then leads to quantification of hurricane risk in terms of a probabilistic integral. This integral is then efficiently computed using the already established surrogate model by analyzing thousands of different scenarios (based on the aforementioned probabilistic description). This allows the rapid computation of, for example, the storm surge that might be exceeded 10% of the time based on hurricane parameters at 48 h from landfall. Finally, by leveraging the computational simplicity and efficiency of the surrogate model, a simple stand-alone PC-based risk-assessment tool is developed that allows nonexpert end users to take advantage of the full potential of the framework. The proposed framework ultimately facilitates the development of a rapid assessment tool for real-time implementation but requires a considerable upfront computational cost to produce high-fidelity model results. As an illustrative example, implementation of hurricane risk estimation for the Island of Oahu in Hawaii is presented; results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach for delivering accurate tools for real-time hurricane risk estimation that have the ability to cross over technology adoption barriers.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 29 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 483 EP - 492 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 15351459 AB - ABSTRACT Many high-head dams in Oregon's Willamette River basin were constructed without fish passage facilities for downstream migrants. Instead, fish pass dams via hydroelectric turbines, surface spillways or deep-water regulating outlets. The availability of these routes varies seasonally with dam operations and reservoir depth, which can fluctuate by tens of meters. To assess how dam and reservoir operations affect fish movement timing and survival, we used rotary screw traps below three Willamette basin dams and at two riverine sites above reservoirs. Traps were operated 2950 days over 8 years, and >195 000 fish were collected. Samples above reservoirs were primarily native salmonids ( Oncorhynchus spp.), daces ( Rhinichthys spp.) and sculpins ( Cottus spp.), while those below dams were often dominated by non-native Centrarchidae. Capture rates at riverine sites were highest from late winter to early summer, coincident with juvenile Chinook salmon emigration. Conversely, collection below dams was largely restricted to late fall and winter when reservoirs were drawn down to annual lows and discharge was high. We hypothesize that winter operations facilitated fish access to dam turbines and regulating outlets, whereas spring-summer operations entrapped fish in reservoirs and restricted volitional downstream passage. Total fish mortality was ≤2% at riverine sites and was 36-69% below dams. Estimates were highest for non-native species and juvenile Chinook salmon. Fatal injuries were consistent with traumas related to pressure, shear and contact and there were size-related and morphology-related risk differences. Mitigation opportunities include fish bypass system development, retrofits for existing routes and seasonally appropriate reservoir draw down to allow fish passage.

SN - 07490208 AB - Coastal flood-risk mapping requires the prediction of wave runup and overtopping of dikes and beaches. The cross-shore numerical model CSHORE is adjusted to predict irregular wave runup on impermeable dikes. The model is compared with 137 wave runup tests and 97 wave overtopping tests. The seaward boundary of the computation is taken at the location where wave setup is negligible. The spectral period and peak period at this boundary location are specified as input. The model predicts the measured cross-shore variation of the spectral significant wave height on the barred and sloping beaches in front of the dikes. The measured 2% and 1% exceedence runup heights are predicted within errors of about 20% for the spectral period used as input to CSHORE. The model predicts the threshold of wave overtopping, but the minor wave overtopping rates can be predicted only within a factor of 10. The model is also compared with 120 tests for wave runup on gentle uniform slopes as well as wave runup data on natural beaches in order to assess the utility of the numerical model for coastal flood-risk mapping on sand beaches.

Mean number of sturgeon entrained per kilometer of navigation was estimated at 0.02, and mean number entrained annually considering towboat traffic was estimated at 0.38 sturgeon/ha. Losses associated with entrainment were mostly lower than fishery harvest, although differences were not large. The two sources of mortality combined could potentially reduce the mature adult population to a level where it no longer has the reproductive capacity to replenish itself. Thus, through a combination of entrainment and fishing mortality shovelnose sturgeon may be looming near unsustainable population levels. These estimates are preliminary considering the many uncertainties associated with quantifying entrainment and its effects. Additional research is needed not only to derive better estimates, but also to develop options for managing entrainment.

Using data from large national surveys, this analysis provides descriptive evidence on key differences for comparable young, low-moderate income and education military and civilian respondents. I find that military members have more types of savings accounts, more problematic credit card behaviors, and equivalent use of alternative financial services.

This study examines the intersection of these two status characteristics utilizing survey data of American military academy cadets, Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadets, and civilian students ( n = 5,051). Majorities of military cadets, regardless of race, supported both of these wars more than their civilian counterparts, but African-Americans are significantly less supportive of the wars relative to their peers within each group. African-American cadets support both wars less so than whites and cadets of other races, but African-American cadets supported both wars more than African-American civilians. It appears that racial and military affiliations combine to yield a unique perspective on war, adapting elements of both statuses. These findings support the concept of intersectionality.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators to provide protection against infectious airborne viruses in various workplace settings. The filtration efficiency of selected NIOSH-approved particulate N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and filter cartridges was investigated against the viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage, aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Tests were performed under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes of 85 and 135 L/min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 L/min). The mean penetrations of viable MS2 through the N95 and P100 FFRs/cartridges were typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions. All N95 and P100 FFR and cartridge models assessed in this study, therefore, met or exceeded their respective efficiency ratings of 95 and 99.97% against the viable MS2 test aerosol, even under the very high flow conditions. These NIOSH-approved FFRs and particulate respirators equipped with these cartridges can be anticipated to achieve expected levels of protection (consistent with their assigned protection factor) against airborne viral agents, provided that they are properly selected, fitted, worn, and maintained.

AB - Objective: We investigated how increases in task-relevant information affect human decision-making performance, situation awareness (SA), and trust in a simulated command-and-control (C2) environment.Background: Increased information is often associated with an improvement of SA and decision-making performance in networked organizations. However, previous research suggests that increasing information without considering the task relevance and the presentation can impair performance.Method: We used a simulated C2 task across two experiments. Experiment 1 varied the information volume provided to individual participants and measured the speed and accuracy of decision making for task performance. Experiment 2 varied information volume and information reliability provided to two participants acting in different roles and assessed decision-making performance, SA, and trust between the paired participants.Results: In both experiments, increased task-relevant information volume did not improve task performance. In Experiment 2, increased task-relevant information volume reduced self-reported SA and trust, and incorrect source reliability information led to poorer task performance and SA.Conclusion: These results indicate that increasing the volume of information, even when it is accurate and task relevant, is not necessarily beneficial to decision-making performance. Moreover, it may even be detrimental to SA and trust among team members.Application: Given the high volume of available and shared information and the safety-critical and time-sensitive nature of many decisions, these results have implications for training and system design in C2 domains. To avoid decrements to SA, interpersonal trust, and decision-making performance, information presentation within C2 systems must reflect human cognitive processing limits and capabilities.

Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate associations between deployment to Kabul, Afghanistan and subsequent respiratory health among U.S. military personnel. The study population consisted of personnel who deployed to Kabul, select Operation Enduring Freedom locations, personnel stationed in the Republic of Korea, and U.S.-stationed personnel. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated for respiratory symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A significantly elevated rate of symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions was observed among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to personnel deployed or stationed in Bagram (IRR 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.19), Republic of Korea (IRR 1.20; 95% CI, 1.10-1.31), and the United States (IRR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.43-1.62). A statistically elevated rate of asthma was observed among personnel deployed to Kabul, relative to U.S.-stationed personnel (IRR 1.61; 95% CI, 1.22-2.12). Statistically significant rates were not observed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to other study groups. These findings suggest that deployment to Kabul is associated with an elevated risk of postdeployment respiratory symptoms and new-onset asthma.

The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health.

Platelets mediate intercellular adhesion and thrombosis during vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia, which suggests a role for antiplatelet agents in modifying disease events.Methods: Children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age with sickle cell anemia were randomly assigned to receive oral prasugrel or placebo for 9 to 24 months. The primary end point was the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome. The secondary end points were the rate of sickle cell-related pain and the intensity of pain, which were assessed daily with the use of pain diaries.Results: A total of 341 patients underwent randomization at 51 sites in 13 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The rate of vaso-occlusive crisis events per person-year was 2.30 in the prasugrel group and 2.77 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.05; P=0.12). There were no significant differences between the groups in the secondary end points of diary-reported events. The safety end points, including the frequency of bleeding events requiring medical intervention, of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic adverse events that occurred while patients were taking prasugrel or placebo, and of discontinuations due to prasugrel or placebo, did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusions: Among children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis was not significantly lower among those who received prasugrel than among those who received placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in the safety findings. (Funded by Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01794000.).

In typical visual search tasks, observers search for one instance of one target among distractors. In hybrid search, observers search through visual displays for one instance of any of several types of target held in memory. In foraging search, observers collect multiple instances of a single target type from visual displays. Combining these paradigms, in hybrid foraging tasks observers search visual displays for multiple instances of any of several types of target (as might be the case in searching the kitchen for dinner ingredients or an X-ray for different pathologies). In the present experiment, observers held 8-64 target objects in memory. They viewed displays of 60-105 randomly moving photographs of objects and used the computer mouse to collect multiple targets before choosing to move to the next display. Rather than selecting at random among available targets, observers tended to collect items in runs of one target type. Reaction time (RT) data indicate searching again for the same item is more efficient than searching for any other targets, held in memory. Observers were trying to maximize collection rate. As a result, and consistent with optimal foraging theory, they tended to leave 25-33% of targets uncollected when moving to the next screen/patch. The pattern of RTs shows that while observers were collecting a target item, they had already begun searching memory and the visual display for additional targets, making the hybrid foraging task a useful way to investigate the interaction of visual and memory search.

A wide range of fluid intakes are compatible with euhydration, whereby total body water varies narrowly from day to day by 600 to 900 mL (<1% body mass). One measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to prevent meaningful body water deficits outside this euhydration range (i.e., dehydration). Another measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to balance the renal solute load, which can vary widely inside the euhydration range. The subtle but important distinction between the 2 types of adequacy may explain some of the ambiguity surrounding the efficacy of hydration status markers. Both perspectives of fluid intake adequacy are discussed in detail and a simple tool is reviewed that may help healthy, active, low-risk populations answer the question, “Am I drinking enough?” Key Teaching Points • Adequate fluid intake can be dually defined as a volume of fluid (from water, beverages, and food) sufficient to replace water losses and provide for solute excretion. • Fluid needs can differ greatly among individuals due to variation in the factors that influence both water loss and solute balance; thus, adequacy is consistent with a wide range of fluid intakes and is better gauged using hydration assessment methods. • Adequacy of fluid intake for replacing meaningful water losses (dehydration) can be assessed simply, inexpensively, and with reasonable fidelity among healthy, active, low-risk individuals. • Adequacy of fluid intake for solute excretion per se can also be assessed among individuals but is more difficult to define and less practical to measure.

Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

Of special concern are the effects on women serving in direct combat jobs, as well as in any specialties operating in a hostile environment. Drawing on previous research, the model considers and gives examples of how a woman's well-being is affected by events in her military career, her family life, and other areas of life. The article emphasizes the effects of intersections of multiple events, as well as how the effects on well-being are mediated or moderated by other factors, including individual characteristics, military contextual variables, and resources. The analysis also includes the impacts of preventative and treatment interventions, as well as of policies, programs, and practices. Based on the model and on previous research, questions for future research are posed. SN - 0026-4075 AD - University of Maryland, 9007 Gettysburg Lane, College Park, MD 20740.

This review will focus on a series of nutrients of concern for female Warfighters. Biological function, dietary sources, and requirements will be reviewed, and recommendations for women in combat roles will be provided. Iron, essential for physical and cognitive performance, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements as compared to male Warfighters, as well as declines in iron status that may occur in response to physical activities, such as military training. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health, and should be considered in efforts to prevent stress fractures, which occur with greater frequency in female Warfighters as compared to their male counterparts. Folate, essential for the prevention of neural tube defects during pregnancy and gestation, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements before pregnancy. Providing optimal levels of these nutrients will facilitate readiness as women prepare to serve in combat roles.

However, there are few studies examining group-level influences in the military and none using group-level analyses. Such studies are essential for understanding how to optimally forestall or cease smoking. This study, using mixed effects modelling, examined whether unit membership influenced smoking behavior in soldiers from brigade combat teams. Unit membership was assessed in 2008 to 2009 at the company level (n = 2204) and in 2012 at the platoon level (n = 452). Smoking was assessed by the number of daily cigarettes smoked (range: 0-99) with smoking status (nonsmoker vs. smoker) and smoking level (none, smoker, and heavy [20 + cigarettes/day]) as the outcomes. For both samples, unit membership was not significantly associated with a soldier's propensity to smoke when comparing either all smokers to nonsmokers or heavy smokers to smokers. These results suggest typical military unit-level training programs are unlikely to be the most effective mode of intervention for smoking prevention or cessation. Smoking rates in the military may be influenced instead by small group or individual relationships or by overall military culture.

Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently concluded that approximately 25-32% of this population suffers from a disorder characterized by symptoms that vary somewhat among individuals and include fatigue, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, musculoskeletal pain, and respiratory, gastrointestinal and dermatologic complaints. Gulf War illness (GWI) is the term used to describe this disorder. In addition, brain cancer occurs at increased rates in subgroups of GW veterans, as do neuropsychological and brain imaging abnormalities. Chemical exposures have become the focus of etiologic GWI research because nervous system symptoms are prominent and many neurotoxicants were present in theater, including organophosphates (OPs), carbamates, and other pesticides; sarin/cyclosarin nerve agents, and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) medications used as prophylaxis against chemical warfare attacks. Psychiatric etiologies have been ruled out. This paper reviews the recent literature on the health of 1991 GW veterans, focusing particularly on the central nervous system and on effects of toxicant exposures. In addition, it emphasizes research published since 2008, following on an exhaustive review that was published in that year that summarizes the prior literature (RACGWI, 2008). We conclude that exposure to pesticides and/or to PB are causally associated with GWI and the neurological dysfunction in GW veterans. Exposure to sarin and cyclosarin and to oil well fire emissions are also associated with neurologically based health effects, though their contribution to development of the disorder known as GWI is less clear. Gene-environment interactions are likely to have contributed to development of GWI in deployed veterans. The health consequences of chemical exposures in the GW and other conflicts have been called "toxic wounds" by veterans. This type of injury requires further study and concentrated treatment research efforts that may also benefit other occupational groups with similar exposure-related illnesses.

AB - Fifteen military personnel performed 30-cm drop landings to quantify how body borne load (light, ∼6 kg, medium, ∼20 kg, and heavy, ∼40 kg) impacts lower limb kinematics and knee joint energy absorption during landing, and determine whether greater lower limb flexion increases energy absorption while landing with load. Participants decreased peak hip (P = 0.002), and knee flexion (P = 0.007) posture, but did not increase hip (P = 0.796), knee (P = 0.427) or ankle (P = 0.161) energy absorption, despite exhibiting greater peak hip (P = 0.003) and knee (P = 0.001) flexion, and ankle (P = 0.003) dorsiflexion angular impulse when landing with additional load. Yet, when landing with the light and medium loads, greater hip (R(2) = 0.500, P = 0.003 and R(2) = 0.314, P = 0.030) and knee (R(2) = 0.431, P = 0.008 and R(2) = 0.342, P = 0.022) flexion posture predicted larger knee joint energy absorption. Thus, military training that promotes hip and knee flexion, and subsequently greater energy absorption during landing, may potentially reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and optimize soldier performance.

Given the large number of medical specialties in the AMEDD, determining the appropriate number of hires and promotions for each medical specialty is a complex task. The AMEDD Personnel Proponency Directorate (APPD) previously used a manual approach to project the number of hires, promotions, and personnel inventory for each medical specialty across the AMEDD to support a 30-year life cycle. As a means of decision support to APPD, we proffer the objective force model (OFM) to optimize AMEDD workforce planning. We also employ a discrete-event simulation model to verify and validate the results. In this paper, we describe the OFM applied to the Medical Specialist Corps, one of the six officer corps in the AMEDD. The OFM permits better transparency of personnel for senior AMEDD decision makers, whereas effectively projecting the optimal number of officers to meet the demands of the current workforce structure. The OFM provides tremendous value to APPD in terms of time, requiring only seconds to solve rather than months; this enables APPD to conduct quick what-if analyses for decision support, which was impossible to do manually.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/08/18/ VL - 49 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 9532 EP - 9547 SN - 0013936X AB - The unique or enhanced properties of manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) suggest that their use in nanoenabled products will continue to increase. This will result in increased potential for human and environmental exposure to MNs during manufacturing, use, and disposal of nanoenabled products. Scientifically based risk assessment for MNs necessitates the development of reproducible, standardized hazard testing methods such as those provided by the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Currently, there is no comprehensive guidance on how best to address testing issues specific to MN particulate, fibrous, or colloidal properties. This paper summarizes the findings from an expert workshop convened to develop a guidance document that addresses the difficulties encountered when testing MNs using OECD aquatic and sediment test guidelines. Critical components were identified by workshop participants that require specific guidance for MN testing: preparation of dispersions, dose metrics, the importance and challenges associated with maintaining and monitoring exposure levels, and the need for reliable methods to quantify MNs in complex media. To facilitate a scientific advance in the consistency of nanoecotoxicology test results, we identify and discuss critical considerations where expert consensus recommendations were and were not achieved and provide specific research recommendations to resolve issues for which consensus was not reached. This process will enable the development of prescriptive testing guidance for MNs. Critically, we highlight the need to quantify and properly interpret and express exposure during the bioassays used to determine hazard values.

To assess whether these tumors could be the result of a direct mutagenic or genotoxic mode of action, we conducted a GLP-compliant 7-day drinking water study to assess crypt health along the entire length of the duodenum. Mice were exposed to water (vehicle control), 1.4, 21, or 180 ppm Cr(VI) via drinking water for 7 consecutive days. Crypt enterocytes in Swiss roll sections were scored as normal, mitotic, apoptotic, karyorrhectic, or as having micronuclei. A single oral gavage of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide served as a positive control for micronucleus induction. Exposure to 21 and 180 ppm Cr(VI) significantly increased the number of crypt enterocytes. Micronuclei and γ-H2AX immunostaining were not elevated in the crypts of Cr(VI)-treated mice. In contrast, treatment with cyclophosphamide significantly increased numbers of crypt micronuclei and qualitatively increased γ-H2AX immunostaining. Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy revealed the presence of strong Cr fluorescence in duodenal villi, but negligible Cr fluorescence in the crypt compartment. Together, these data indicate that Cr(VI) does not adversely effect the crypt compartment where intestinal stem cells reside, and provide additional evidence that the mode of action for Cr(VI)-induced intestinal cancer in B6C3F1 mice involves chronic villous wounding resulting in compensatory crypt enterocyte hyperplasia.

The simulated environment exposed a LiI(Eu) scintillator crystal to neutrons of discrete energy levels from thermal through 25 MeV, with energy resolution identical to that documented by Mares and Schraube. The shapes of the response functions were found to be in excellent agreement with previous data, but the MCNP6-calculated functions differed consistently from the Mares and Schraube data by a factor of two, which is possibly due to ambiguity within their published methodology. Regardless, a comparison of the response functions calculated from MCNP6 and MCNP4 were assessed as > 99\% significant using a chi-squared test with 25 degrees of freedom.

JO - Journal of Hydrologic Engineering JF - Journal of Hydrologic Engineering Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 20 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 SN - 10840699 AB - This article represents the first report by an ASCE Task Committee "Infrastructure Impacts of Landscape-driven Weather Change" under the ASCE Watershed Management Technical Committee and the ASCE Hydroclimate Technical Committee. In this first of a series of reports, it argues for explicitly considering the well-established feedbacks triggered by infrastructure systems to the land-atmosphere system through landscape changes. A definition for Infrastructure Resilience (IR) at the intersection of extreme weather and climate is also proposed for the engineering community. By providing a broader range of views and issues than what is currently in the front view of engineering practice, more robust approaches can be achieved by the engineering community by affording a greater number of scenarios in its decision making related to infrastructure design, operations and management. Although the article does not strive to seek consensus on any particular view or recommend a particular design/operations strategy for improving resilience, the issues requiring further discussions are addressed. For example, it is not entirely clear at this stage how best to impact engineering practice directly through the research that appears on land-atmosphere feedbacks triggered by infrastructure systems. Some examples related to adjusting design metrics as wholly new (atmospheric model-based) or modified current practices have appeared in recent literature. Performing a survey of actual water managers in the various water infrastructure units (such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers district offices) would be beneficial for the engineering community. Moving forward, a key focus for the engineering community should be to understand the predictive uncertainty of changes to extreme weather and climate through integrated forcings of landscape change and planetary warming, and the implications of this uncertainty on infrastructure design and operations.

T1 - Three-dimensional tracking of juvenile salmon at a mid-reach location between two dams. JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 167 M3 - Article SP - 216 EP - 224 SN - 01657836 AB - Evaluating fish behavior and migration in response to environmental changes is a fundamental component of fisheries research and recovery of freshwater ecosystems. While spatial distribution and behavior of fishes has been well studied around hydropower facilities, little research has been conducted at a mid-reach location between two dams. The Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) cabled receiver system was developed and employed as a reference sensor network for detecting and tracking juvenile salmon in the Columbia River Basin. To supplement acquisition of detection and three-dimensional (3-D) tracking data to estimate survival and fish behavior in the forebays of Little Goose and Lower Monumental dams on the Snake River in eastern Washington State, a mid-reach location was needed to investigate the spatial distribution of migrating juvenile salmon in open-water conditions between the two dams. Lyons Ferry Bridge on State Route 261 at the confluence of the Snake and Palouse Rivers was chosen as the mid-reach location. A JSATS-cabled receiver system configuration was successfully designed and deployed from the bridge's pier structure. Theoretical analysis confirmed the functionality and precision of the deployment design. Validation tests demonstrated sub-meter accuracy of 3-D tracking up to a horizontal distance of 50 m upstream and downstream from the Lyons Ferry Bridge piers. Detection and tracking probabilities of the LFB cabled array were estimated to be 99.98% from field application. This research provided a detailed description of acoustic telemetry system deployment and 3-D tracking as guidance for better understanding of fish migration behavior as they pass through dams and continue downstream through the river between dams.

JO - Journal of Energy Resources Technology JF - Journal of Energy Resources Technology Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 137 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 01950738 AB - Vehicles connected to electric systems are considered "plug-in" vehicles. They can be an integral part of a microgrid. Ground vehicles have become more electrified over time, providing electrical power for the propulsion system (hybrid) and a complex suite of auxiliary power systems, enhancing their use in microgrids. Optimizing the microgrid system for performance and reliability considering many external loads and sources is a challenging problem. This is especially true when the plug-in vehicles may enter and leave the microgrid randomly becoming either sources or loads. The microgrid is a repairable system. Recent work has shown that multiple metrics are needed to fully account for the performance of repairable systems under uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a decision-based framework to design and maintain repairable systems for optimal performance and reliability using a set of metrics such as minimum failure free period (MFFP), number of failures in planning horizon, and cost. Optimal tradeoffs among a minimal set of metrics (MSOM) can be used in the design and maintenance of these systems. The optimal solution includes the initial design, the system maintenance throughout the planning horizon, and the protocol to operate the system. Critical remote military installations with plug-in vehicles connected to the microgrids require careful consideration of cost and repair strategies because of logistical challenges in performing repairs and supplying necessary spare parts in unsafe locations. We show how a MSOM helps to solve the complex optimization problem of finding the best microgrid power management strategy considering performance, reliability, and cost.

JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2015/06/12/ VL - 33 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 2990 EP - 2996 SN - 0264410X AB - The U.S. Department of Defense vaccinates personnel deployed to high-risk areas with the vaccinia virus (VACV)-based smallpox vaccine. Autoinoculations and secondary and tertiary transmissions due to VACV shedding from the vaccination site continue to occur despite education of vaccinees on the risks of such infections. The objectives of this study were to investigate, in naïve smallpox vaccinees, (a) whether the vaccination site can remain contagious after the scab separates and (b) whether the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the vaccination site inactivates VACV without affecting the immune response. These objectives were tested in 60 individuals scheduled to receive smallpox vaccine. Thirty individuals (control) did not receive PIO; 30 subjects (treatment) received PIO starting on post-vaccination day 7. Counter to current dogma, this study showed that VACV continues to shed from the vaccination site after the scab separates. Overall viral shedding levels in the PIO group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( p = 0.0045), and PIO significantly reduced the duration of viral shedding (median duration 14.5 days and 21 days in the PIO and control groups, respectively; p = 0.0444). At least 10% of control subjects continued to shed VACV at day 28, and 3.4% continued to shed the virus at day 42. PIO reduced the proportion of subjects shedding virus from the vaccination site from day 8 until days 21–23 compared with control subjects. Groups did not differ significantly in the proportion of subjects mounting an immune response, as measured by neutralizing antibodies, IgM, IgG, and interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assay. When applied to the vaccination site starting on day 7, PIO reduced viral shedding without altering the immune response. The use of PIO in addition to a semipermeable dressing may reduce the rates of autoinoculation and contact transmission originating from the vaccination site in smallpox-vaccinated individuals.

The derivation of IUSG requires an expression of the effective sediment erosion intensity whose relation with rainfall is revisited. The entropy theory provides an efficient way to estimate the parameters involved in the derivations. Sediment discharge is also computed using the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH), which can also be derived using the entropy theory. This method works as well as the IUSG method, especially when the peak sediment discharge and peak runoff occur at the same time. The entropy theory yields the probability distribution of sediment yield and of sediment discharge, which can then be used to estimate uncertainty in sediment yield prediction.

JO - Advances in Water Resources JF - Advances in Water Resources Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 80 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 03091708 AB - We present an immersed structure approach for modeling the interaction between surface flows and vegetation. Fluid flow and rigid and flexible vegetative obstacles are coupled through a local drag relation that conserves momentum. In the presented method, separate meshes are used for the fluid domain and vegetative obstacles. Taking techniques from immersed boundary finite element methods, the effects of the fluid on the vegetative structures and vice versa are calculated using integral transforms. Using a simple elastic structure model we incorporate bending and moving vegetative obstacles. We model flexible vegetation as thin, elastic, inextensible cantilever beams. Using the immersed structure approach, a fully coupled fluid-vegetation interaction model is developed assuming dynamic fluid flow and quasi-static bending. This relatively computationally inexpensive model allows for thousands of vegetative obstacles to be included in a simulation without requiring an extremely refined fluid mesh. The method is validated with comparisons to mean velocity profiles and bent vegetation heights from experiments that are reproduced computationally. We test the method on several channel flow setups. We calculate the bulk drag coefficient in these flow scenarios and analyze their trends with changing model parameters including stem population density and flow Reynolds number. Bulk drag models are the primary method of incorporating small-scale drag from individual plants into a value that can be used in larger-scale models. Upscaled bulk drag quantities from this method may be utilized in larger-scale simulations of flow through vegetation regions.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 51 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 4282 EP - 4300 SN - 00431397 AB - We have developed an alternative to the one-dimensional partial differential equation (PDE) attributed to Richards (1931) that describes unsaturated porous media flow in homogeneous soil layers. Our solution is a set of three ordinary differential equations (ODEs) derived from unsaturated flux and mass conservation principles. We used a hodograph transformation, the Method of Lines, and a finite water-content discretization to produce ODEs that accurately simulate infiltration, falling slugs, and groundwater table dynamic effects on vadose zone fluxes. This formulation, which we refer to as 'finite water-content', simulates sharp fronts and is guaranteed to conserve mass using a finite-volume solution. Our ODE solution method is explicitly integrable, does not require iterations and therefore has no convergence limits and is computationally efficient. The method accepts boundary fluxes including arbitrary precipitation, bare soil evaporation, and evapotranspiration. The method can simulate heterogeneous soils using layers. Results are presented in terms of fluxes and water content profiles. Comparing our method against analytical solutions, laboratory data, and the Hydrus-1D solver, we find that predictive performance of our finite water-content ODE method is comparable to or in some cases exceeds that of the solution of Richards' equation, with or without a shallow water table. The presented ODE method is transformative in that it offers accuracy comparable to the Richards (1931) PDE numerical solution, without the numerical complexity, in a form that is robust, continuous, and suitable for use in large watershed and land-atmosphere simulation models, including regional-scale models of coupled climate and hydrology.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 607 EP - 617 SN - 03801330 AB - The single most important factor affecting the longevity of US dams is sedimentation, reducing and perhaps eliminating the reservoir capacity for future sediment storage and flood wave attenuation. A better understanding of the sedimentation rates and sediment dynamics is required for a better management of these dams. Towards this, we collected and analyzed 7 sediment cores from Union Lake for excess 210Pb and 137Cs to determine the sediment accumulation rates (210Pbxs-based: 0.12 to 0.28 g cm-2 y-1 ; peak 137Cs-based: 0.13 to 0.29 g cm-2 y -1 ). These average sediment accumulation rates obtained using radionuclides are compared with three other methods: i) bathymetry-based, from the cumulative mass depth of the core and age of the impoundment (0.09 to 0.26 g cm-2 y-1 ); ii) sediment-yield curve obtained for 61 other watersheds (1.2 g cm-2 y-1 ): and iii) gage data of sediment discharge (0.21 g cm -2 y-1 ). Such a comparison provides insight on refining the sediment-yield curve-based sediment loading in the impoundment. Vertical profiles of 137Cs provide not only insight on sediment mixing (based on a novel method by analyzing the Gaussian-like curve), but also the effectiveness of vibra-coring method in retrieving the full length of the soft sediment deposited since the construction of the dam. The present investigation can serve as a model study for application to other dams in the Great Lakes region and has implications to larges lakes in the Great Lakes catchment for the prediction of sediment accumulation rates using a variety of methods.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 367 EP - 373 SN - 03801330 AB - Natural resource agencies have established surveillance programs which use environmental DNA (eDNA) for the early detection of bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix before they establish populations within the Great Lakes. This molecular monitoring technique must be highly accurate and precise for confident interpretation and also efficient, both in detection threshold and cost. Therefore, we compared two DNA extraction techniques and compared a new quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay with the conventional PCR (cPCR) assay used by monitoring programs. Both the qPCR and cPCR assays were able to amplify the DNA of silver carp present in environmental samples taken from locations where mixed populations of bigheaded carps existed. However, the qPCR assay had substantially fewer PCR positive samples which were subsequently determined not to contain DNA of bigheaded carps than the cPCR assay. Additionally, the qPCR assay was able to amplify the DNA of bigheaded carps even in the presence of inhibitors that blocked amplification with cPCR. Also, the selection of an appropriate DNA extraction method can significantly alter the efficiency of eDNA surveillance programs by lowering detection limits and by decreasing costs associated with sample processing. The results reported herein are presently being incorporated into eDNA surveillance programs to decrease the costs, increase DNA yield and increase the confidence that assays are amplifying the target DNA. These results are critical to enhancing our ability to accurately and confidently interpret the results reported from monitoring programs using eDNA for early detection of invasive species.

JO - Environmental Practice JF - Environmental Practice Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 17 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 145 EP - 155 SN - 14660474 AB - The North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM) was developed from 2003 to 2007 by a team of federal and state agencies to rapidly assess the level of wetland function. NC WAM is a field method which is science-based, reproducible, rapid, and observational in nature used to determine the level of wetland function relative to reference for each of 16 North Carolina general wetland types. Three major functions (Hydrology, Water Quality, and Habitat) were recognized along with 10 sub-functions. Sub-functions and functions are evaluated using 22 field metrics on a field assessment form. Data are entered into a computer program to generate High, Medium, and Low ratings for each sub-function, function, and the overall assessment area based on an iterative Boolean logic process using 71 unique combinations. The method was field tested across the state at more than 280 sites of varying wetland quality. Examples are presented for the use of NC WAM for compensatory mitigation notably to calculate functional uplift from wetland enhancement. Calibration and verification analyses to date show that the results of the method are significantly correlated with long-term wetland monitoring data and NC WAM has been verified for one wetland type (headwater forest) using these data.Environmental Practice 17: 145–155 (2015) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Environmental Practice is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Toxicon JF - Toxicon Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 98 M3 - Article SP - 12 EP - 19 SN - 00410101 AB - Two small molecular weight inhibitors, compounds CB7969312 and CB7967495, that displayed inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A in a previous study, were evaluated for inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes B, C, E, and F. The small molecular weight inhibitors were assessed by molecular modeling, UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay; and an ex vivo assay, the mouse phrenic nerve – hemidiaphragm assay (MPNHDA). While both compounds were inhibitors of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes B, C, and F in the MPNHDA, compound CB7969312 was effective at lower molar concentrations than compound CB7967495. However, compound CB7967495 was significantly more effective at preventing BoNTE intoxication than compound CB7969312. In the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay, CB7969312 was also more effective against LcC. Both compounds inhibited BoNTE, but not BoNTF, LcE, or LcF in the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay. Molecular modeling studies predicted that both compounds would be effective inhibitors of BoNTs B, C, E, and F. But CB7967495 was predicted to be a more effective inhibitor of the four serotypes (B, C, E, and F) than CB7969312. This is the first report of a small molecular weight compound that inhibits serotypes B, C, E, and F in the ex vivo assay.

Bacillus subtilis spores maximum germination rates via different GRs required different 75°C heat activation times: 15 min for L-valine germination via the GerA GR and 4 h for germination with the L-asparagine- glucose-fructose-K+ mixture via the GerB and GerK GRs, with GerK requiring the most heat activation. In some cases, optimal heat activation decreased nutrient concentrations for half-maximal germination rates. Germination of spores via various GRs by high pressure (HP) of 150 MPa exhibited heat activation requirements similar to those of nutrient germination, and the loss of the GerD protein, required for optimal GR function, did not eliminate heat activation requirements for maximal germination rates. These results are consistent with heat activation acting primarily on GRs. However, (i) heat activation had no effects on GR or GerD protein conformation, as probed by biotinylation by an external reagent; (ii) spores prepared at low and high temperatures that affect spores' IM properties exhibited large differences in heat activation requirements for nutrient germination; and (iii) spore germination by 550 MPa of HP was also affected by heat activation, but the effects were relatively GR independent. The last results are consistent with heat activation affecting spores' IM and only indirectly affecting GRs. The 150- and 550-MPa HP germinations of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens spores, a potential surrogate for Clostridium botulinum spores in HP treatments of foods, were also stimulated by heat activation.

Expressed as C n × t = toxic load (TL), TLs are assumed constant for various combinations of concentration ( C ) and time ( t ). Experimental data in a recent acute inhalation study of rats exposed to time-varying concentrations of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) supported the validity of the toxic load model except under very brief, discontinuous, high concentration exposures. In the present investigation, experiments were conducted to extend the evaluation of the applicable domain of the model for acute lethality of HCN in the rat (cumulative exposure range of 2900–11,000 ppm min). The lethality of HCN over very short (<5 min) durations of high concentrations did not conform to the toxic load model. A value of n = 1.57 was determined for uninterrupted exposures ⩾5 min. For 30-min exposures, the presence or absence of a gap between two exposure pulses of different concentrations, the relative duration, relative height, and the ordering of the pulses (low then high, vs. high then low) did not appear to have a meaningful impact on the toxic load required for median lethality.

The development of molecular methods and immuno-based techniques for detection of pathogenic Listeria in foods has been challenging due to the presence of assay inhibiting food components. In this study, we utilize a macrophage cell culture system for the isolation and enrichment of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii from infant formula and leafy green vegetables for subsequent identification using the Luminex xMAP technique. Macrophage monolayers were exposed to infant formula, lettuce and celery contaminated with L. monocytogenes or L. ivanovii . Magnetic microspheres conjugated to Listeria specific antibody were used to capture Listeria from infected macrophages and then analyzed using the Bio-Plex 200 analyzer. As few as 10 CFU/mL or g of L. monocytogenes was detected in all foods tested. The detection limit for L. ivanovii was 10 CFU/mL in infant formula and 100 CFU/g in leafy greens. Microsphere bound Listeria obtained from infected macrophage lysates could also be isolated on selective media for subsequent confirmatory identification. This method presumptively identifies L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii from infant formula, lettuce and celery in less than 28 h with confirmatory identifications completed in less than 48 h.

F. tularensis is highly infectious via the aerosol route; inhalation of as few as 10–50 organisms can cause pneumonic tularemia. Left untreated, the pneumonic form has more than >30% case-fatality rate but with early antibiotic intervention can be reduced to 3%. This study compared tularemia disease progression across three species of nonhuman primates [African green monkey (AGM), cynomolgus macaque (CM), and rhesus macaque (RM)] following aerosolized F. tularensis Schu S4 exposure. Groups of the animals exposed to various challenge doses were observed for clinical signs of infection and blood samples were analyzed to characterize the disease pathogenesis. Whereas the AGMs and CMs succumbed to disease following challenge doses of 40 and 32 colony forming units (CFU), respectively, the RM lethal dose was 276,667 CFU. Following all challenge doses that caused disease, the NHPs experienced weight loss, bacteremia, fever as early as 4 days post exposure, and tissue burden. Necrotizing-to-pyogranulomatous lesions were observed most commonly in the lung, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. Overall, the CM model consistently manifested pathological responses similar to those resulting from inhalation of F. tularensis in humans and thereby most closely emulates human tularemia disease. The RM model displayed a higher tolerance to infection and survived exposures of up to 15,593 CFU of aerosolized F. tularensis .

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 334 EP - 350 SN - 21945403 AB - The long-term effects of sediment exposure on aquatic organisms are poorly understood, yet it is critical for determining threshold effects and exposure limits to mitigate potential impacts with regard to population dynamics. In this paper, we present the current state of knowledge to help consolidate the breadth of information regarding total suspended solids (TSS) thresholds for aquatic species, as well as identify areas where data are lacking. More specifically, we provide the state of the science related to TSS effects on freshwater and estuarine fish including short-term (i.e., physiology and behavior) and long-term effects. Our research indicated that little attention has been given to examining long-term effects, e.g., transgenerational effects, from suspended sediments (SS) on fish populations. Understanding transgenerational effects is paramount to developing and predicting the links between fish condition, survival, populations, and communities. Survival of a local fish population to high sediment loads often translates into short-term physiological and behavioral effects; however, the ramifications of such exposure events are rarely tracked across generations. The majority of studies involving SS effects on fish have focused on exposure and mortality rates of affected fish, deposited eggs, or larvae. We developed a conceptual model that highlighted the interactions between sediment dynamics and fish populations. The model can assist in the formulation of more quantitative-based approaches for modeling these interactions. Future research efforts should focus on developing an understanding of whether environmental disturbances, e.g., dredging, may lead to epigenetic changes that may lead to cascade population effects, and if so, under what circumstances.

The density, composition, and location of street and city park trees comprising the urban forest will be influenced by future climate-driven extreme weather events. In this study, we have developed an approach for assessing impacts of multiple extreme weather scenarios likely to become more frequent under climate change and subsequently influence the composition of street and park trees. This potential for loss of trees as a result of one (or more) of these climate-related extreme weather events is considered to be one indicator of the susceptibility of Cambridge's urban forest to climate-related weather events. The scenarios considered were a hurricane/tropical storm similar to tropical storm Sandy in 2012, heat stress, snow or ice loading (e.g., loss of tree limbs), Asian longhorn beetle or emerald ash borer infestations, and the cumulative effect from the addition of all these scenarios. The literature was used to assess the sensitivity of tree species to each threat and determine the anticipated loss of individuals from each species. The results are a reasonable indication of the more tolerant tree species in Cambridge and their locations. This assessment of susceptibility can inform proactive management of the urban forest.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 56 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 332 EP - 341 SN - 0364152X AB - With the recent increase in utility-scale wind energy development, researchers have become increasingly concerned how this activity will affect wildlife and their habitat. To understand the potential impacts of wind energy facilities (WEF) post-construction (i.e., operation and maintenance) on wildlife, we compared differences in activity centers and survivorship of Agassiz's desert tortoises ( Gopherus agassizii) inside or near a WEF to neighboring tortoises living near a wilderness area (NWA) and farther from the WEF. We found that the size of tortoise activity centers varied, but not significantly so, between the WEF (6.25 ± 2.13 ha) and adjacent NWA (4.13 ± 1.23 ha). However, apparent survival did differ significantly between the habitat types: over the 18-year study period apparent annual survival estimates were 0.96 ± 0.01 for WEF tortoises and 0.92 ± 0.02 for tortoises in the NWA. High annual survival suggests that operation and maintenance of the WEF has not caused considerable declines in the adult population over the past two decades. Low traffic volume, enhanced resource availability, and decreased predator populations may influence annual survivorship at this WEF. Further research on these proximate mechanisms and population recruitment would be useful for mitigating and managing post-development impacts of utility-scale wind energy on long-lived terrestrial vertebrates.

The waveforms recorded in forest generally show the pulse elongation characteristic of propagation over a highly porous ground surface, with high frequency scattered arrivals superimposed on the basic waveform shape. Waveform analysis conducted to determine ground properties resulted in acoustically determined layer thicknesses of 4-8 cm in summer, within 2 cm of the directly measured thickness of the litter layers. In winter the acoustic thicknesses correlated with the site-specific snow cover depths. Effective flow resistivity values of 50-88 kN s m-4 were derived for the forest sites in summer, while lower values typical for snow were found in winter. Reverberation times (T60) were typically around 2s, but two stands (deciduous and pruned spruce planted on a square grid) had lower values of about 1.2s. One site with a very rough ground surface had very low summer flow resistivity value and also had the longest reverberation time of about 3s. These measurements can provide parameters useful for theoretical predictions of acoustic propagation within forests.

Starting from a parabolic equation, and using the Markov approximation and a locally frozen turbulence hypothesis, closed-form equations for the spatial-temporal statistical moments of arbitrary order of the sound-pressure field are derived. The general theory provides a basis for analysis of many statistical characteristics of broadband and narrowband acoustic signals for different geometries of propagation: line-of-sight propagation, multipath propagation in a refractive atmosphere above an impedance ground, and sound scattering into a refractive shadow zone. As an example of application of this theory, the spatial-temporal coherence of narrowband acoustic signals for line-of-sight propagation is calculated and analyzed. The coherence time of acoustic signals is studied numerically for meteorological conditions ranging from cloudy to sunny conditions, and with light, moderate, and strong wind. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data.

The purpose of this study was to better define the contribution of muscle deficits and volumetric muscle loss (VML) to the designation of long-term disability in order to better understand their effect on outcomes for limb-salvage patients. Medically retired servicemembers who sustained a combat-related type III open tibia fracture (Orthopedic cohort) were reviewed for results of their medical evaluation leading to discharge from military service. A cohort of battlefield-injured servicemembers (including those with nonorthopedic injuries) who were medically retired because of various injuries (General cohort) was also examined. Muscle conditions accounted for 65% of the disability of patients in the Orthopedic cohort. Among the General cohort, 92% of the muscle conditions were identified as VML. VML is a condition that contributes significantly to long-term disability, and the development of therapies addressing VML has the potential to fill a significant void in orthopedic care.

The Army has made significant overall fitness gains by developing functional and comprehensive Physical Readiness Training (PRT) programs, but more emphasis on individualized physical fitness test taking technique is warranted in order to optimize performance. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to provide clinicians with several examples of APFT performance enhancement techniques that can potentially be applied not only in the Army, but throughout the military and in the sports community where general fitness assessments are routinely administered.

However, it is unknown whether asymptomatic overhead athletes with dyskinesis cope by normalizing scapular position with higher demand activities. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare change in scapular kinematics from an active unweighted contraction to a maximal isometric contraction in asymptomatic overhead athletes with and without scapular dyskinesis. Secondarily, force generated with manual muscle tests were explored for differences and relationships with kinematics. Study Design: Cross-sectional laboratory study Methods: Twenty-five matched asymptomatic overhead athletes with (n = 14) and without (n=11) scapular dyskinesis, defined with a reliable and validated clinical method, participated in this study. Three-dimensional scapular kinematics were evaluated in an active unweighted condition, and during maximal isometric contractions at 90 ° of shoulder flexion. Isometric force produced with lower trapezius and serratus anterior manual muscle tests were assessed with a dynamometer. Changes in scapular kinematics were compared between groups. Differences in force generated with manual muscle tests between groups and relationships with kinematics were explored. Results: Athletes with dyskinesis demonstrated greater deficits in scapular upward rotation with maximal contraction (p = < 0.001), less external rotation (p = 0.036) and weaker lower trapezius manual muscle test strength (p = 0.031). Lower trapezius (p = 0.003;r = 0.57) and serratus anterior (p = 0.042;r= 0.41) manual muscle test strength deficits were fair to moderately associated with a lack of scapular upward rotation during maximal contraction. Conclusion: Small to moderate changes in scapular kinematics are normal responses to a maximal contraction, but with scapular dyskinesis this response is accentuated. Athletes with dyskinesis generate less force with lower trapezius manual muscle testing compared to athletes without dyskinesis. Decreased strength with lower trapezius and serratus anterior manual muscle testing was also related to a lack of upward rotation in all athletes., ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR KW - *SCAPULA KW - *PHYSIOLOGY KW - *ATHLETES KW - *EXERCISE tests KW - *JOINTS (Anatomy) -- Range of motion KW - *KINEMATICS KW - *MUSCLE contraction KW - *SHOULDER -- Wounds & injuries KW - ANALYSIS of variance KW - CONFIDENCE intervals KW - CORRELATION (Statistics) KW - STATISTICS KW - DATA analysis KW - CROSS-sectional method KW - CASE-control method KW - DATA analysis -- Software KW - biomechanics upper extremity KW - scapula KW - Shoulder KW - strength testing UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=s3h&AN=112626213&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - s3h ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Metabolic and body composition changes in first year following traumatic amputation.

The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in weight, body composition, and metabolic rate during the first year following traumatic amputation in military servicemembers. Servicemembers without amputation were included for comparison. Participants were measured within the first 12 wk after amputation (baseline) and at 6, 9, and 12 mo after amputation. Muscle mass, fat mass, weight, and metabolic rate were measured at each time point. There was a significant increase in weight and body mass index in the unilateral group between baseline and all follow-up visits (p < 0.01). Over the 12 mo period, total fat mass and trunk fat mass increased in both unilateral and bilateral groups; however, these changes were not statistically significant over time. Muscle mass increased in both the unilateral and bilateral groups despite percent of lean mass decreasing. No changes in resting metabolism or walking energy expenditure were observed in any group. The results of this study conclude that weight significantly increased because of an increase in both fat mass and muscle mass in the first year following unilateral and bilateral amputation.

There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

The aim of this study is to quantify the burden of SLAP lesions in the military and establish risk factors for diagnosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all service members diagnosed with a SLAP lesion (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision code 840.70) in the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database between 2002 and 2009 was performed. Available epidemiological risk factors including age, sex, race, military rank, and branch of service were evaluated using multivariate Poisson regression analysis, and cumulative and subgroup incidence rates were calculated. Results: During the study period, approximately 23,632 SLAP lesions were diagnosed among a population at risk of 11,082,738, resulting in an adjusted incidence rate of 2.13 per 1,000 person-years. The adjusted annual incidence rate for SLAP lesions increased from 0.31 cases per 1,000 person-years in 2002 to 1.88 cases per 1,000 person-years in 2009, with an average annual increase of 21.2 % (95 % CI 20.7 %, 22.0 %, p < 0.0001) during the study period. Age, sex, race, branch of military service, and military rank were independent risk factors associated with the incidence rate of SLAP lesion ( p < 0.01). Male service members were over twofold more likely (IRR, 2.12; 95 % CI 2.01, 2.23) to sustain a SLAP lesion when compared with females. Increasing age category was associated with a statistically significant increase in the incidence rate for SLAP lesions in the present study ( p < 0.001). After controlling for the other variables, those individuals of white race, enlisted ranks, or Marine Corps service experienced the highest incidence rates for SLAP. Conclusion: This is the first study to establish the epidemiology of SLAP lesions within an active military cohort in the American population. Sex, age, race, military rank, and branch of military service were all independently associated with the incidence rate of SLAP lesions in this physically active population at high risk for shoulder injury. Level of evidence: II.

Efforts to assess the nature of the organization are complicated by flaws in existing datasets on Violent Non-State Actors (VNSAs). ASG's role in kidnappings serves as a test-case to estimate incongruities among four major datasets on VNSAs. Original data collected at the agent level provides an additional point of comparison and also serves to test the efficacy of ASG's knowledge-dissemination structures, which are key in determining VNSAs' strategic capacities.

The first "Individual Efficiency Test" (1920) for all Soldiers consisted of a 100-yard run, running broad jump, wall climb, hand grenade throw, and obstacle course. The first scientific efforts involved testing of 400 Soldiers and a factor analysis of 25 individual test items. In 1944, this resulted in a 7-item test (pull-up, burpee, squat jump, push-up, man-carry, sit-up and 300-yard run) with a 100-point scoring system. In 1943, women were encouraged to take a "self-assessment" consisting of push-ups, bent knee sit-ups, wing lifts, squat thrusts, running, and a stork stand. In 1946, age-adjusted standards were introduced and in 1965 semiannual fitness assessments were mandated. The number of tests proliferated in the 1969-1973 period with 7 separate assessments. The current APFT consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run was introduced in 1980 and alternative tests for those with physical limitations in 1982. Current efforts to revise the assessment involve systematic literature reviews and validating the relationship between test items and common Soldiering tasks.

Methods: A convenience sample of HCP was surveyed to assess familiarity with Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), AEFI they were likely to report, methods used and preferred for reporting, and perceived barriers to reporting. We analyzed factors associated with HCP reporting AEFI to VAERS. Results: A total of 547 surveys were distributed with 487 completed and returned for an 89% response rate. The percentage of HCP aware of VAERS (54%) varied by occupation. 47% of respondents identified knowledge of at least one AEFI with only 34% of these indicating that they had ever reported to VAERS. More serious events were more likely to be reported. Factors associated with HCP reporting AEFIs in bivariate analysis included HCP familiarity with filing a paper VAERS report, HCP familiarity with filing an electronic VAERS report, HCP familiarity with VAERS, and time spent on immunization tasks. In a multivariable analysis, only HCP familiarity with filing a paper VAERS report was statistically significant (Odds ratio = 115.3; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Specific educational interventions targeted to military HCP likely to see AEFIs but not currently filing VAERS reports may improve vaccine safety reporting practices.

Methods: Participants (n = 247) completed a series of clinical and functional tests, including closed-chain ankle dorsiflexion (DF), Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Y-Balance Test Lower Quarter (YBT-LQ), Y-Balance Test Upper Quarter (YBT-UQ), single leg vertical jump (SLVJ), 6-m timed hop (6-m timed), and triple hop. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Analysis of variance tests were performed to compare the results based on sex and age (<30years, >30years). Results: Service members demonstrated DF of 34.2 + 6.1°, FMS composite score of 16.2 + 2.2, YBT-LQ normalized composite score of 96.9 + 8.6%, YBT-UQ normalized composite score of 87.6 ± 9.6%, SLVJ of 26.9 ± 8.6 cm, 6-m hop of 2.4 ± 0.5 seconds, and a triple hop of 390.9 ± 110.8 cm. Men performed greater than women (p < 0.05) on the YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, SLVJ, 6-m timed, and triple hop. Those <30 years of age performed better than older participants (p < 0.05) on the DF, FMS, YBT-LQ, SLVJ, 6-m hop, and triple hop. Conclusions: Findings provide normative data on military members. Men performed better on power, balance, and trunk stability tests, whereas younger individuals performed better on power, balance, mobility, and functional movement.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of omega-3 FAs (eicosapentaenoic + docosahexaenoic; Harris-Schacky [HS]-Omega-3 Index) on neuropsychological functioning among U.S. Soldiers deployed to Iraq. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included Soldiers between the ages of 18 and 55 years who were randomly assigned to either the active treatment group (n = 44) or placebo group (n = 34). Active treatment was 2.5 g per day of eicosapentaenoic + docosahexaenoic (Lovaza; GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina). The placebo was corn oil ethyl esters. HS-Omega-3 Index, a neurocognitive battery (Central Nervous System-Vital Signs, Morrisville, North Carolina), and psychological health scales were assessed at baseline and after 60 days of treatment. Although the results revealed that omega-3 FAs significantly increased the HS-Omega-3 Index (p = 0.001), there were no significant effects on indices psychological health and neurocognitive functioning by treatment group. Nevertheless, there was a significant inverse correlation between the changes in the HS-Omega-3 Index and daytime sleepiness (r = 0.30, p = 0.009). Short-term treatment with 2.5 g of omega-3 FAs did not alter measures of neurocognition or psychological health, but there was evidence of a relationship between omega-3 levels and daytime sleepiness.

The objective is for military medical planners to use this decision-support tool (1) to improve real-time situational awareness by visualization of MEDEVAC coverage, showing which areas can be reached within established timelines; (2) to support medical planning by visualizing the impact of changes in the medical footprint to the MEDEVAC coverage; and (3) to support decision-making by providing a time-sorted list of MEDEVAC asset packages to select from, given the location of the patients. This same geospatial-based decision tool can be used for proper emplacement of evacuation assets such that the theater is covered within a truly representative I -hour response time. We conclude with a discussion of applicability of this tool in medical force structure planning.

The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population.

And yet, education has been glacially slow to adopt these changes in a large scale way, and innovations seem to be imposed mainly by students' and their changing social lifestyles than by policy. Will this change? Leadership is sorely needed. Education needs to become more modular and move out of the classroom into informal settings, homes, and especially the internet. Nationwide certifications based on these modules would permit technology to enter education more rapidly. Smaller nations may be more flexible in making these very disruptive changes.

SN - 21945403 AB - Recent efforts in the private and public sectors to move toward enhanced sustainability in the built environment have prompted the need to quantify and assess trade-offs among relevant sustainability metrics. Within the US military, for instance, many technological improvements are available to facilitate the achievement of net-zero goals for installations. These technologies must be assessed based on numerous performance criteria, and these technology selection decisions are difficult to make unaided. This paper seeks to demonstrate the use of decision-analytical techniques in which sustainable roofing technology alternatives (reflective, vegetated, or solar roofs) can be properly framed and assessed while evaluating the trade-offs between multiple performance criteria. Multi-criteria decision analysis methods are used to assess the impact of technology alternatives on sustainability framed within the popular concept of the triple bottom line (economic, societal, and environmental concerns). The framework developed in this paper can be applied to other sustainability technologies (energy, water, waste) or portfolios of numerous technologies.

SN - 07490208 AB - Historical shoreline and bathymetric survey data were compiled for the barrier islands and passes fronting Mississippi Sound to identify net littoral sand transport pathways, quantify the magnitude of net sand transport, and develop an operational sediment budget spanning a 90-year period. Net littoral sand transport along the islands and passes is primarily unidirectional (east-to-west). Beach erosion along the east side of each island and sand spit deposition to the west result in an average sand flux of about 400,000 cy/yr (305,000 m³/yr) throughout the barrier island system. Dog Keys Pass, located updrift of East Ship Island, is the only inlet acting as a net sediment sink. It also is the widest pass in the system (about 10 km) and has two active channels and ebb shoals. As such, a deficit of sand exists along East Ship Island. Littoral sand transport decreases rapidly along West Ship Island, where exchange of sand between islands terminates because of wave sheltering from the Chandeleur Islands and shoals at the eastern margin of the St. Bernard delta complex, Louisiana. These data were used to assist with design of a large island restoration project along Ship Island. Mississippi.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2013/05/02/Spring2013 Special Issue 63 M3 - Article SP - 110 EP - 117 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Coastal Louisiana is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. From 1956 to 2010, over 3,734 km² of Louisiana's coastal wetlands have been lost due to a combination of natural and human-induced activities. The resulting landscape constitutes a mosaic of conditions from highly deteriorated to relatively stable with intact landmasses. Understanding how and why coastal landscapes change over time is critical to restoration and rehabilitation efforts. Historically, changes in marsh pattern (i.e., size and spatial distribution of marsh landmasses and water bodies) have been distinguished using visual identification by individual researchers. Difficulties associated with this approach include subjective interpretation, uncertain reproducibility, and laborious techniques. In order to minimize these limitations, this study aims to expand existing tools and techniques via a computer-based method, which uses geospatial technologies for determining shifts in landscape patterns. Our method is based on a raster framework and uses landscape statistics to develop conditions and thresholds for a marsh classification scheme. The classification scheme incorporates land and water classified imagery and a two-part classification system: (1) ratio of water to land, and (2) configuration and connectivity of water within wetland landscapes to evaluate changes in marsh patterns. This analysis system can also be used to trace trajectories in landscape patterns through space and time. Overall, our method provides a more automated means of quantifying landscape patterns and may serve as a reliable landscape evaluation tool for future investigations of wetland ecosystem processes m the northern Gulf of Mexico.

JO - Journal of Hydraulic Engineering JF - Journal of Hydraulic Engineering Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 139 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 492 EP - 501 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339429 AB - Hurricanes in southeastern Louisiana develop significant surges within the lower Mississippi River. Storms with strong sustained easterly winds push water into shallow Breton Sound, overtop the river's east bank south of Pointe à la Hache, Louisiana, penetrate into the river, and are confined by levees on the west bank. The main channel's width and depth allow surge to propagate rapidly and efficiently up river. This work refines the high-resolution, unstructured mesh, wave current Simulating Waves Nearshore + Advanced Circulation () SL16 model to simulate river flow and hurricane-driven surge within the Mississippi River. A river velocity regime-based variation in bottom friction and a temporally variable riverine flow-driven radiation boundary condition are essential to accurately model these processes for high and/or time-varying flows. The coupled modeling system is validated for riverine flow stage relationships, flow distributions within the distributary systems, tides, and Hurricane Gustav (2008) riverine surges.

Using GPS tracking collars placed on female white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) over a protracted period, we illustrate that this species is spatially irrelevant for consideration in ecological risk assessments (ERAs) for commonly assessed contaminated sites. Specifically, deer movements do not allow for a sufficiency of chemical exposures to occur such that toxicological endpoints would be triggered. Deer are spatially irrelevant not only because their home ranges and overall utilized areas dwarf prototypical hazardous waste sites. They are also inappropriate for assessment because they only minimally contact reasonably sized preferred locations, this while demonstrating a confounding high degree of site affinity for them. Our spatial movements analysis suggests that deer introduce the ERA novelty of a species displaying elements of both chronic and acute site exposure. We further suggest that other large commonly assessed high-profile mammals could also be found to be spatially irrelevant for ERAs were they to submit to the GPS tracking and subsequent data analysis we performed for the deer. Recognizing that certain receptors need not be considered in ERAs can help to simplify the ERA process.

SN - 0921030X AB - It is shown here that uncertainty can significantly affect estimated surge levels over a wide range of annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs). For AEPs in the range of 1 × 10-5 × 10 in the New Orleans area, estimated surge values with and without consideration of uncertainty differ by about 0.5-1.0 m. Similarly, suppression of natural variability, such as using a single value for Mississippi River discharge in surge simulations, rather than allowing the discharge to vary probabilistically, is shown to produce deviations up to 1 m for the 1 × 10 AEP in locations within the mainline river levees in this area. It is also shown that uncertainty can play a critical role in the analysis of very low probability events in the AEP range 1 × 10-1 × 10. Such events are typically used in designs of structures with major societal impacts. It is shown here that, for this range of AEPs along the west coast of Florida, the neglect of uncertainty can under-predict design surge levels by about 20 % compared to estimated surge levels that include uncertainty.

SN - 09239820 AB - 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a toxic and persistent explosive compound occurring as a contaminant at numerous sites worldwide. Knowledge of the microbial dynamics driving TNT biodegradation is limited, particularly in native aquifer sediments where it poses a threat to water resources. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of organic amendments on anaerobic TNT biodegradation rate and pathway in an enrichment culture obtained from historically contaminated aquifer sediment and to compare the bacterial community dynamics. TNT readily biodegraded in all microcosms, with the highest biodegradation rate obtained under the lactate amended condition followed by ethanol amended and naturally occurring organic matter (extracted from site sediment) amended conditions. Although a reductive pathway of TNT degradation was observed across all conditions, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis revealed distinct bacterial community compositions. In all microcosms, Gram-negative γ- or β-Proteobacteria and Gram-positive Negativicutes or Clostridia were observed. A Pseudomonas sp. in particular was observed to be stimulated under all conditions. According to non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis of DGGE profiles, the microcosm communities were most similar to heavily TNT-contaminated field site sediment, relative to moderately and uncontaminated sediments, suggesting that TNT contamination itself is a major driver of microbial community structure. Overall these results provide a new line of evidence of the key bacteria driving TNT degradation in aquifer sediments and their dynamics in response to organic carbon amendment, supporting this approach as a promising technology for stimulating in situ TNT bioremediation in the subsurface.

The purpose of the present study was to assess the potential of dredging activities performed to remove the fly ash from the river to result in increased risk to pelagic fish, with special consideration of mobilization of metals. Elutriates were created using two sources of fly ash by bubbling with air over 10 d. This elutriate preparation method was designed to represent worst-case conditions for oxidation, metal release, and dissolution. Larval and juvenile Pimephales promelas underwent 10-d exposures to these elutriates. Larval end points included survival and biomass, and juvenile end points included survival, length, biomass, liver somatic index, and bioaccumulation. No significant toxicity was observed. Bioaccumulation of metals in juveniles was found to be primarily attributable to metals associated with particles in the gut. Results suggest little potential for toxicity to related fish species due to fly ash removal dredging activities given the extreme conditions represented by the elutriates in the present study.

SN - 01757598 AB - The feasibility of using a microalga Chlorella vulgaris YSW-04 was investigated for removal of nutrients from piggery wastewater effluent. The consequent lipid production by the microalga was also identified and quantitatively determined. The wastewater effluent was diluted to different concentrations ranging from 20 to 80 % of the original using either synthetic media or distilled water. The dilution effect on both lipid production and nutrient removal was evaluated, and growth rate of C. vulgaris was also monitored. Dilution of the wastewater effluent improved microalgal growth, lipid productivity, and nutrient removal. The growth rate of C. vulgaris was increased with decreased concentration of piggery wastewater in the culture media regardless of the diluent type. Lipid production was relatively higher when using synthetic media than using distilled water for dilution of wastewater. The composition of fatty acids accumulated in microalgal biomass was dependent upon both dilution ratio and diluent type. The microalga grown on a 20 % concentration of wastewater effluent diluted with distilled water was more promising for generating high-efficient biodiesel compared to the other culture conditions. The highest removal of inorganic nutrients was also achieved at the same dilution condition. Our results revealed the optimal pretreatment condition for the biodegradation of piggery wastewater with microalgae for subsequent production of high-efficient biodiesel.

JO - Natural Hazards JF - Natural Hazards Y1 - 2013/03/15/ VL - 66 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 955 EP - 983 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 0921030X AB - One of the important recent advances in the field of hurricane/storm modelling has been the development of high-fidelity numerical simulation models for reliable and accurate prediction of wave and surge responses. The computational cost associated with these models has simultaneously created an incentive for researchers to investigate surrogate modelling (i.e. metamodeling) and interpolation/regression methodologies to efficiently approximate hurricane/storm responses exploiting existing databases of high-fidelity simulations. Moving least squares (MLS) response surfaces were recently proposed as such an approximation methodology, providing the ability to efficiently describe different responses of interest (such as surge and wave heights) in a large coastal region that may involve thousands of points for which the hurricane impact needs to be estimated. This paper discusses further implementation details and focuses on optimization characteristics of this surrogate modelling approach. The approximation of different response characteristics is considered, and special attention is given to predicting the storm surge for inland locations, for which the possibility of the location remaining dry needs to be additionally addressed. The optimal selection of the basis functions for the response surface and of the parameters of the MLS character of the approximation is discussed in detail, and the impact of the number of high-fidelity simulations informing the surrogate model is also investigated. Different normalizations of the response as well as choices for the objective function for the optimization problem are considered, and their impact on the accuracy of the resultant (under these choices) surrogate model is examined. Details for implementation of the methodology for efficient coastal risk assessment are reviewed, and the influence in the analysis of the model prediction error introduced through the surrogate modelling is discussed. A case study is provided, utilizing a recently developed database of high-fidelity simulations for the Hawaiian Islands.

Key findings include that moisture content of the internal core at 365 days was essentially unchanged from the as-built conditions, and the bulk (major oxide) chemistry of the DM-SSF blends matched what was predicted by the field blending ratios. The addition of SSF to the 100% DM resulted in significant pH buffering and in strength increases up to a factor of 2, as measured by the average cone penetrometer test (CPT) tip resistance. Refusal ( or ) was encountered in the 100% SSF embankment at a depth of approximately 1.5 m. The 365-day aged 100% DM and DM-SSF blend had effective friction angles on the order of 34 and 52°, respectively, where the dry DM content is reported first. Quantitative X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that no new crystalline phases were observed in the DM-SSF blends, such as those commonly associated with typical cementation reactions. For 365-day-old DM-SSF blends containing between approximately (100% SSF) and (100% DM) total arsenic, the 95% upper confidence limit on the average. As concentration from the combined toxicity characteristic leaching procedure/synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (TCLP/SPLP) leaching results was less than the SPLP detection limit (), suggesting that the environmental risk associated with beneficially using the DM-SSF blends may be negligible.

SN - 00188158 AB - We assessed if the qualitative and quantitative aspects of plankton composition in reservoirs of the middle Missouri River were influenced by hydrologic variability. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in six reservoirs of this highly regulated system were sampled between 2004 and 2011 during historic drought, subsequent recovery, and a 100-year flood event. The reservoir system encompasses a broad latitudinal gradient of decreasing depth, decreasing water residence time and increasing trophic state. Phytoplankton communities of the upper three reservoirs were co-dominated by planktonic and meroplanktonic diatoms during the drought, recovery, and flood periods, but the proportion of more silicified meroplanktonic diatoms increased in the lower three reservoirs as water residence time decreased. Peak phytoplankton biovolume usually occurred during spring/early summer and was associated with increased hydrologic inflows and outflows. Zooplankton biomass of the reservoir system was dominated by Daphnia spp., but all zooplankton groups decreased as inflows and outflows accelerated during the recovery and flood periods. Rotifer abundances were higher under turbulent conditions associated with dam operations. Canonical correlation analyses suggested that temperature, water residence time, station depth, and water clarity explained more variance in the structures of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities than bioavailable nutrient parameters.

Annuli in sagittal otoliths formed once a year in early spring in both reservoirs. South Holston Lake (n = 99 Lake Trout) has been stocked since 2006, and the oldest fish was age 4. Watauga Lake has been stocked since the mid-1980s, and we collected 158 Lake Trout up to age 20. Annual mortality for age-3 and older fish in Watauga Lake was 24%. When compared to Lake Trout in northern lakes, Tennessee Lake Trout exhibited average to above-average growth and longevity. Condition of Lake Trout in both reservoirs varied seasonally and tended to be lowest in fall, but rebounded in winter and spring. Lake Trout in both reservoirs appeared to be spatially segregated from pelagic prey fishes during summer stratification, but growth rates and body condition were high enough to suggest that neither system was being overstocked.

SN - 00087475 AB - Plant species distributions and transitions between vegetation types are determined by numerous factors, including disturbances such as fire. Documentation of past changes in the distribution and structure of fire-dependent ecosystems is necessary to assess the success of land management in maintaining historic vegetation types. In our study system--longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)-wiregrass (Aristida stricta) savannas and embedded wetlands (i.e., pocosins)--wiregrass is dependent on frequent burning. We used soil carbon (C) isotopes to test for past changes in the abundance of wiregrass and for shifts in the ecotone between savanna and pocosin in four sites at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Wiregrass has a C4 photosynthetic pathway and therefore produces organic matter enriched in 13C compared to other dominant species in the community that have a C3 photosynthetic pathway. At each of the four sites, we measured profiles of soil δ13C to a depth of 1 m at four locations along the vegetation gradient from upland savannas to lowland pocosins. Surface soil δ13C, which reflects C inputs from current vegetation, did not differ along the gradient despite a decrease in wiregrass cover from savanna, where it is abundant, to pocosin, where it is absent. Enrichment of soil δ13C with depth was indistinguishable from effects of decomposition, indicating that past variation in the abundance and distribution of wiregrass was not detectable in our study sites. Our results suggest that wiregrass currently does not produce, and historically has not produced, enough biomass to influence soil δ13C values along the savanna-pocosin gradient.

SN - 13862588 AB - Shallow water habitat (SWH) is important for riverine fish and their invertebrate prey, yet the availability of SWH has declined in many systems due to human impacts. We evaluated the potential ecological benefits of restoring SWH by comparing zooplankton and phytoplankton from created backwaters (a floodplain feature connected to the river on the downstream end but disconnected at the upstream end) and chutes (a side channel of the river that diverts flow from the main channel through the chute and back into the main channel) on the lower Missouri River. We tested the hypothesis that backwaters support higher abundances of zooplankton and phytoplankton than chutes using data that were collected during the summer of 2010. As predicted, backwaters had more diverse cladoceran communities and greater abundances of rotifers, copepod nauplii, adult copepods, and cladocerans than chutes. Total algal biovolume was the same in chutes and backwaters; however, phytoplankton taxa richness was higher in backwaters, and there was a greater biovolume of green algae ( Chlorophyta), Crypotophyta, cyanobacteria, and Euglenophyta in backwaters than in chutes. Differences in zooplankton and phytoplankton between backwaters and chutes appeared to be related to slower current velocities, longer retention times, and lower levels of turbidity and total suspended solids in backwaters. While chutes have the potential to provide greater habitat diversity than the mainstem, there were no differences in water quality or phytoplankton abundance, community structure, or diversity between these two habitats. Combined, our results suggest that created backwaters initially provide a greater potential food resource for native fishes. However, additional research is needed to determine whether chutes can also develop beneficial shallow water features over a longer period of time.

JO - Marine Drugs JF - Marine Drugs Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 11 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 584 EP - 598 PB - MDPI Publishing SN - 16603397 AB - Palytoxin (PLTX) is the reference compound for a group of potent marine biotoxins, for which the molecular target is Na+ /K+-ATPase. Indeed, ouabain (OUA), a potent blocker of the pump, is used to inhibit some PLTX effects in vitro. However, in an effort to explain incomplete inhibition of PLTX cytotoxicity, some studies suggest the possibility of two different binding sites on Na+/K+ -ATPase. Hence, this study was performed to characterize PLTX binding to intact HaCaT keratinocytes and to investigate the ability of OUA to compete for this binding. PLTX binding to HaCaT cells was demonstrated by immunocytochemical analysis after 10 min exposure. An anti-PLTX monoclonal antibody-based ELISA showed that the binding was saturable and reversible, with a Kd of 3 x 10-10 M. However, kinetic experiments revealed that PLTX binding dissociation was incomplete, suggesting an additional, OUA-insensitive, PLTX binding site. Competitive experiments suggested that OUA acts as a negative allosteric modulator against high PLTX concentrations (0.3-1.0 x 10-7 M) and possibly as a non-competitive antagonist against low PLTX concentrations (0.1-3.0 x 10-9 M). Antagonism was supported by PLTX cytotoxicity inhibition at OUA concentrations that displaced PLTX binding (1 x 10-5 M). However, this inhibition was incomplete, supporting the existence of both OUA-sensitive and -insensitive PLTX binding sites.

JO - Ecotoxicology JF - Ecotoxicology Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 22 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 231 EP - 239 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09639292 AB - The purpose of this study was to assess the toxicological effects of two munition compounds, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4A-DNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), on three different bird species: two common toxicological model species-the Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus) and the Japanese Quail ( Coturnix japonica), and a representative passerine-the Zebra Finch ( Taeniopygia guttata). Bobwhite were exposed to 4A-DNT at 0, 8, 15, 30, 60, or 150 mg/kg body weight (bw) d by oral gavage for seven days; because the high dose of 4A-DNT was lethal to bobwhite, the maximum dose was changed to 100 mg/kg bw d for Japanese quail and finches to ensure tissue could be used for future toxicogenomic work. RDX was similarly administered at 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 mg/kg bw d. Blood was drawn prior to euthanasia for blood cellularity and chemistry analyses. Finches were clearly least affected by 4A-DNT as evidenced by a lack of observable effects. Bobwhite appeared to be the most sensitive species to 4A-DNT as observed through changes in blood cellularity and plasma chemistry effects. Bobwhite appeared to be more sensitive to RDX than Japanese Quail due to increased effects on measures of plasma chemistries. Finches exhibited the greatest sensitivity to RDX through increased mortality and seizure activity. This study suggests that sensitivity among species is chemical-specific and provides data that could be used to refine current avian sensitivity models used in ecological risk assessments.

This extends the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) guidance for incorporating the effects of future MSLR into coastal projects. While USACE relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 19-year National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) for its datum relationships, the approach proposed herein generalizes this guidance by choosing the appropriate 19-year epoch centered on the start year of the MSLR scenario under consideration. The procedure takes into account the local annual sea level variability, which confounds the matching to any given single year while generalizing and preserving the 19-year averaging long used by NOAA to calculate the NTDE. Examples of the MSLR scenario matching procedure are given using actual data and projections for La Jolla, California, and Sewells Point (Hampton Roads), Virginia.

Through the use of validated, coupled wave and hydrodynamic models, this study investigates SLR effects on storm surge and nearshore waves, including variation with coastal landscape type and storm characteristics. Both the wave and hydrodynamic models account for bottom friction based on land-use type, so the modeling procedure accounted for SLR-related changes to land cover, in addition to higher mean sea levels. Simulation of storms with similar meteorological characteristics and track but with landfall in the northeastern and southwestern coastal areas allowed examination of how the coastal features influenced the storm surge and wave response to increased sea levels. The simulation results analyzed here demonstrate that the relationship between storm surge and relative SLR (RSLR) varies between geographic region and storm scenario. The increase in an inundated area is linear in the north, and in the south, the inundated area approaches the northern values for similar storms asymptotically. Nearshore wave results indicate, as expected, that larger water depths created by positive RSLR and amplified surge allow larger waves to propagate into inland areas. For the Texas simulations, it was found that an increase in hurricane wind speeds of 25% is approximately equivalent to a RSLR of 0.5 m in terms of increased area of inundation impact. Because of the complexities of storm-surge dependency on storm strength, track, and local topography, there is no one-size-fits-all response to RSLR descriptive of all locations. Site-specific computer modeling should be used to evaluate the risk facing coastal communities.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 33 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 103 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 21945403 AB - Management of natural resources and infrastructure systems for sustainability is complicated by uncertainties in the human and natural environment. Moreover, decisions are further complicated by contradictory views, values, and concerns that are rarely made explicit. Scenario analysis can play a major role in addressing the challenges of sustainability management, especially the core question of how to scan the future in a structured, integrated, participatory, and policy-relevant manner. In a context of systems engineering, scenario analysis can provide an integrated and timely understanding of emergent conditions and help to avoid regret and belated action. The purpose of this paper is to present several case studies in natural resources and infrastructure systems management where scenario analysis has been used to aide decision making under uncertainty. The case studies include several resource and infrastructure systems: (1) water resources (2) land-use corridors (3) energy infrastructure, and (4) coastal climate change adaptation. The case studies emphasize a participatory approach, where scenario analysis becomes a means of incorporating diverse stakeholder concerns and experience. This approach to scenario analysis provides insight into both high-performing and robust initiatives/policies, and, perhaps more importantly, influential scenarios. Identifying the scenarios that are most influential to policy making helps to direct further investigative analysis, modeling, and data-collection efforts to support the learning process that is emphasized in adaptive management.

The literature on the effectiveness of personal protection products against arthropods is mainly limited to studies of prevention of bites, rather than prevention of disease. Tungiasis was successfully controlled by application of topical repellents and scrub typhus was reduced through the use of treated clothing. Successful reduction of leishmaniasis was achieved through the use of topical repellents, treated bednets and treated clothing in individual studies. Malaria has been reduced by the use of insecticide-treated bednets (ITN), certain campaigns involving topical repellents, and the combination of treated bednets and topical repellents. Although area repellents such as mosquito coils are used extensively, their ability to protect humans from vector-transmitted pathogens has not been proven. Taken together, the literature indicates that personal protection measures must be used correctly to be effective. A study that showed successful control of malaria by combining treated bednets and topical repellents suggests that combinations of personal protection measures are likely to be more effective than single methods. Implementation of successful programmes based on personal protection will require a level of cooperation commonly associated with other basic societal functions, such as education and food safety.

SN - 03781909 AB - The release of hatchery reared salmonid smolts is a common management tool aimed at enhancing depleted wild stocks and maintaining fisheries throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. In the Sacramento River watershed, smolts must migrate through the river, delta and estuary in order to successfully reach the Pacific Ocean. Migration success (success defined as apparent survival from one monitor location to another) may vary between species, year and habitat. We released 500 late-fall run Chinook salmon and 500 steelhead smolts in 2009 and 2010 in the Sacramento River (river kilometer 207). Each smolt was implanted with a coded ultrasonic tag, which was detected by an array of over 300 underwater receiver stations deployed throughout the system. Less than 25 % of fish migrated successfully to the Pacific Ocean in both years. We found that reach specific success was greater in the Delta in 2009 (>60 %) than in 2010 (<33 %), whereas this pattern was reversed in the Bay (<57 % in 2009, >75 % in 2010). Identifying the location, timing and causes of smolt mortality can lead to improved management of the resource.

JO - River Research & Applications JF - River Research & Applications Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 29 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 195 EP - 205 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 15351459 AB - ABSTRACT Woody riparian vegetation provides numerous ecological benefits such as stabilizing streambanks, storing and cycling nutrients, shading streams and providing habitat for wildlife. However, vegetation also increases hydraulic roughness and reduces the effective flow area, resulting in an increased water surface elevation for a given streamflow. Balancing the desire to preserve woody vegetation in stream corridors with the need to manage flood risks requires accurate techniques for predicting the influence of vegetation on stream hydraulics. However, this is a challenging problem because woody vegetation responds to the flow field itself by bending and streamlining in response to hydraulic forces. The goal of this study was to predict the bending behaviour of woody riparian vegetation as a function of hydraulic flow conditions. Field tests were performed to elucidate tree biomechanical properties for select riparian taxa of the southwestern USA. Biomechanical results served as input parameters for a numerical algorithm designed to predict tree bending for water velocities likely to be encountered during flood events. Bending simulations revealed appreciable variability in bent tree heights. Variability was likely a manifestation of the extensive variance in plant characteristics and properties inherent in biological specimens. However, no trees were expected to bend to a height lower than approximately 42% of their original height, even in water moving at 2.5 m·s-1. The results of this work provide an important first step in an effort to predict a dynamic hydraulic roughness for vegetated channels and floodplains under flood conditions.

We investigated post-emergence movements and habitat associations of western pond turtles (Actinemys marmorata) at two study sites in western Oregon using micro- transmitters and harmonic radar methods. Hatchlings delayed emergence until spring, with few exceptions. Hatchlings typically remained within 2 m of nests for as long as 59 d after initial emergence. During migration from their nests to aquatic habitat, hatchlings embedded themselves in soil for up to 22 d at stop-over sites. Movements between successive stop-over sites averaged 27 m. Although the number of days turtles remained within 2 m of their nest following emergence varied widely among and within nests, hatchlings entered aquatic habitat relatively synchronously. Hatchlings entered aquatic habitat on average 49 d after initial emergence, and traveled an average of 89 m from their nest site. Hatchlings detected in water were always within 1 m of shore and in areas with dense submerged vegetation and woody debris. Because of delayed emergence and extended post-emergent use of the area adjacent to nests, managers must consider the trade-offs of managing vegetation for nest habitat and the potential harm to hatchlings by vegetation management near nests.

Production of these munitions would add them to the waste stream. The use of an anaerobic fluidized-bed bioreactor (AFBB) was studied for treating these compounds in a simulated wastewater with ethanol as the electron donor. The reactor degraded both of the compounds to below detection limits over a wide range of ethanol concentrations. The degradation was found to be a transformation into secondary products for both energetics: diaminoanisole (for DNAN) and -methyl--phenylenediamine (for MNA). Both of these by-products reacted upon exposure to air, forming azobond dimers. Potassium perchlorate was added to the feed stream to test if additional energetics would disrupt the transformation. The AFBB continued transformation and was able to remove the perchlorate after a two week acclimation period. The AFBB was an effective treatment method for DNAN and MNA, but further study is required to investigate the transformation products more thoroughly.

SN - 07490208 AB - The potential risk and effects of storm-surge damage caused by the combination of hurricane-force waves, tides, and relative sea-level-rise (RSLR) scenarios were examined at the U.S. Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia. A hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling system validated with measured water levels from Hurricane Isabel was used to simulate two synthesized storms representing 50-year and 100-year return-period hurricanes, a northeaster, and five future RSLR scenarios to evaluate the combined impacts of inundation on this military installation in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The naval base topography and nearshore water body of Hampton Roads were included in the coastal modeling system (CMS), a suite of surge, circulation, wave, sediment transport, and morphology evolution models. The modeling domain was a rectangular area covering the entire Naval Station Norfolk in the Hampton Roads and the mouths of the James and Elizabeth rivers. A variable-resolution grid system was created with a finer resolution of 10 m in the naval base and a coarser resolution of 300 m in the regions away from the base. The boundary-forcing conditions to the CMS were regional storm surge produced by the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC),and wave conditions by the Simulating WAve Nearshore (SWAN) model. The CMS calculated the local water-surface elevation and storm-surge inundation for combined RSLR, surge, waves, and wind. Results indicate that synthetic storms would cause extensive inundation of coastal land around the naval base. Approximately 60% of the land would be under water with the 100-year storm for the present sea level, and 80% for estimated RSLR of 2 m.

Here, we, the authors, describe how global climate change (GCC) will challenge each of the steps of NRDAR processes and offer eight recommendations to improve these processes in light of GCC. First, we call for a better understanding of the net effects of GCC and contaminants on natural resources. Second, we urge facilities and environmental managers to plan for GCC-related factors that are expected to increase the probability of contaminant releases. Third, we suggest re-evaluating definitions of baseline and reference conditions given that GCC will alter both their trajectories and variability. Fourth, we encourage long-term monitoring to improve the quantification of baseline conditions that will change as climate changes. This will enhance the accuracy of injury assessments, the effectiveness of restoration, and the detection of early warning signs that ecosystems are approaching tipping points. Fifth, in response to or anticipation of GCC, restoration projects may need to be conducted in areas distant from the site of injury or focused on functionally equivalent natural resources; thus, community involvement in NRDAR processes will be increasingly important. Sixth, we promote using NRDAR restoration projects as opportunities to mitigate GCC-related impacts. Seventh, we recommend adaptive management approaches to NRDAR processes and communication of successes and failures widely. Finally, we recommend focusing on managing the stressors that might be exacerbated by GCC, such as pollution and habitat loss, because there is a long history of successfully mitigating these stressors, which can be more easily managed on local scales than climate change. We believe that adoption of these recommendations will lead to a more efficacious NRDAR process, despite the challenges posed by climate change. Environ. Toxicol.

This review summarizes past and present concepts in large river ecology and highlights uncertainties facing the science and management of large rivers, and provides examples of tools (river restoration and adaptive management) that may be used to continue the advancement of large river ecology into the future. We need to ask, “Where do we go from here?” and, “How do we get there?” The science, management, and policy of large rivers are inseparable and decisions formulated by river stakeholders today will inevitably shape how rivers are studied and managed into the future.

This article explores whether mediation may march alongside orthodox criminal procedure--as it does in civilian jurisdictions--without undervaluing traditional philosophies that guide military justice, and without undermining traditional sources of prosecutorial authority: military commanders. Current military doctrine (both operational and legal) supports non-traditional problem-solving systems, of which mediation should be considered a part. Relation-based misconduct provides the most appropriate candidate of crime particularly ripe for mediation within military units, especially when framed against a genuine and historically-justifiable command interest in preserving or repairing "unit cohesion." While pragmatic and legal counter-arguments against mediation are reasonably sound, there is nothing intrinsic to the military scheme of justice that makes them any more persuasive. Rather, when translated into a military culture, these criticisms and concerns reflect the same underlying tensions between traditional prosecutorial authority, efficiency, victim rights, and preventive law. Ultimately, whether in the form of a system that directly employs mediation parallel to orthodox justice, or in the form of a new skill set for military leaders employed indirectly as part of their routine leadership functions, mediation need not be considered alien nor an anathema to current military justice as exercised by military commanders.

Hypothesis: Preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover would be associated with the subsequent risk of ACL injury. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We conducted a case-control study with 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 controls matched for sex, age, height, and weight. In addition to the matching criteria, controls had no history of major joint injury. Baseline preinjury serum samples were obtained from the Department of Defense Serum Repository for all subjects. Samples were assessed for 2 serum biomarkers of collagen synthesis (CPII and CS846) and 2 markers of collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) through commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. All ELISAs were performed in triplicate. Conditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Univariate results suggested that both biomarkers for collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) were significantly associated with the subsequent likelihood of ACL injury. Serum C2C and C1,2C concentration at baseline were associated with odds ratios (ORs) of 2.05 (95% CI, 1.30-3.23; P = .001) and 3.02 (95% CI, 1.60-5.71; P = .002), respectively. Baseline serum CPII concentrations were also associated with subsequent ACL injury. Serum CPII concentration at baseline was associated with an OR of 4.41 (95% CI, 1.87-10.38; P = .001). Baseline serum CS846 levels approached significance (OR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.57-1.03; P = .080). Multivariable models suggested that preinjury CPII and C2C concentrations at baseline are important indicators of subsequent ACL injury risk. Conclusion: Preinjury differences in serum biomarker levels of collagen turnover suggest that collagen metabolism in individuals who go on to tear an ACL may be different when compared with a matched control group with no history of major joint injury. These differences may be reflective of different preinjury biochemical and/or biomechanical risk profiles or genetic factors that subsequently affect both collagen metabolism and ACL injury risk.

Academic societies can respond by helping to train scholars to be stewards of their disciplines, and the means by which disciplines will do so is to focus on the character of the scholar through the development and reinforcement of specific virtues. Following the arguments of Plato, Ernest Boyer, and Alasdair MacIntyre, we argue that the development of stewards can help kinesiology respond to contemporary issues.

Methods: Medically treated LE injuries during cadet basic training documented in the Defense Medical Surveillance System were ascertained in a prospective cohort study of three large US military academies from 2005 to 2008. Both acute injuries (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, codes in the 800-900s, including fracture, dislocations, and sprains/strains) and injury-related musculoskeletal injuries (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, codes in the 700s, including inflammation and pain, joint derangement, stress fracture, sprain/strain/rupture, and dislocation) were included. Risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed using multivariate log-binomial models stratified by gender. Results: During basic training, there were 1438 medically treated acute and 1719 musculoskeletal-related LE injuries in the 9811 cadets. The most frequent LE injuries were sprains/strains (73.6% of acute injuries) and inflammation and pain (89.6% of musculoskeletal-related injuries). The overall risk of incident LE injury was 23.2% (95% CI = 22.3%-24.0%). Cadets with a history of LE injury were at increased risk for incident LE injury. This association was identical in males (RR = 1.74, 95%CI= 1.55-1.94) and females(RR= 1.74,95% CI= 1.52-1.99). In site-specific analyses, strong associations between injury history and incident injury were observed for hip, knee ligament, stress fracture, and ankle sprain. Injury risk was greater (P < 0.01) for females (39.1%) compared with males (18.0%). The elevated injury risk in females (RR = 2.19,95% CI = 2.04-2.36) was independent of injury history (adjusted RR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.95-2.24). Conclusion: Injury history upon entry to the military is associated with the incidence of LE injuries sustained during cadet basic training. Prevention programs targeted at modifiable factors in cadets with a history of LE injury should be considered.

Three challenging level-flight conditions are investigated: 1) high speed with advancing blade negative lift, 2) low speed with blade/wake interaction, and 3) high thrust with dynamic stall. The predicted flap bending and torsion moments, pitch link, and lag damper loads, in general, show reasonably good correlation with the test data. A nonlinear lag damper model is essential for the accurate prediction of root chord bending moment and lag damper load. Both analyses, however, significantly underpredict the chord bending moments, especially the 4/rev4/rev harmonic amplitude. Parametric study shows that blade stiffness variations have only a small influence on the load calculations. However, modal damping in the first flap mode has a significant influence on the flap bending moments.

Theanalysis, which evaluates themember's capacities using a finite-element model, also investigates the probability of a critical (nonredundant) anchor failing using test data recorded from both nondestructive dispersive wave propagation testing and load testing of similar anchors at other dams. The results of the analysis indicated a higher-than-expected probability of a critical anchor failing, which in a large enough flood event could fail the entire posttensioned anchorage system. In preparation for such an outcome, two contingency plans involving anchorage replacement and a steel exoskeleton wrapped around the trunnion girder with new anchors were developed and compared.

This article will examine this phenomenon between the Korean and Vietnam wars by comparing contemporary publications and retrospective critiques by veterans with internal Army sources, particularly service schools, the headquarters of the Continental Army Command, and Headquarters, Department of the Army. If a crisis in command existed between 1953 and 1965, did these organizations' leaders recognize it and address it?

This essay surveys the existing literature to approach this problem through the interlocking factors of reason and feeling. At first, Americans reconciled these factors, and justified their wars, because republicanism, romantic nationalism, and Victorian culture created the comforting sense of a chosen nation in an orderly, moral cosmos. When two world wars and the Great Depression produced modernist doubt, Americans used nationalism, pragmatism, and faith in technology to guide and sustain them. By the late twentieth century, however, modernist challenges to old universals in a larger and more pluralistic society became harder to reconcile as debates over wars polarized along emotional extremes, while reason's proponents clung to a precarious middle ground. Currently, the prospect of a revived consensus appears remote.

Multivariate linear regression statistics were used to identify the psychosocial factors that predicted higher depression scores. Education and gender were included as covariates.Main Research Variables: Religiosity, emotional support, collectivism, perceived stigma, and depression.Findings: Participants (N = 77) had a mean age of 61 years (SD = 8.4), and a majority were well-educated, insured, religiously affiliated, and currently in treatment. Participants who were in the lowest income category, not married, or male had higher depression scores. The multivariable model consisting of organized religion, emotional support, collectivism, education, and gender explained 52% (adjusted R2) of the variation in depression scores. Stigma became insignificant in the multivariable model.Conclusions: Psychosocial factors are important predictors of depression. Emotional support and organized religious activities may represent protective factors against depression, whereas collectivism may increase their risk.Implications for Nursing: Nurses need to be particularly aware of the potential psychological strain for patients with collectivist values, experienced stigma, disruptions in church attendance, and lack of emotional support. In addition, the treatment plans for these patients should ensure that family members are knowledgeable about cancer, its treatment, and side effects so they are empowered to meet support needs.Knowledge Translation: Among older African American patients with cancer, emotional support and reassurance from family and friends that they will not abandon them decreases the likelihood of depressive symptoms and minimizes the impact of stigmatizing responses, but the perception that the illness is placing a strain on the family increases the likelihood of such symptoms. Emotional support likely is a stronger predictor of depressive symptoms than religious service attendance.

This assumption is plausible if we assume an individualist framework. However, the classical theorists accepted quasi-Aristotelian, communitarian social ontologies and theories of justice. For them, the political community is ontologically and morally prior to the private individual. The classical just war theorists build their theories within this framework. They argue that just war is only waged by supra-individual political communities for irreducibly social ends. War by private individuals for private ends is always unjust. The ends sought in just war presuppose the justice of a hierarchy of authority over war such that the soldier is obligated to serve in war upon the command of his or her legitimate authority. In this way, the classical theorists accept a unilateral theory of just cause and a division of authority over war that entails the possibility of the moral equality of combatants.

Although military nursing services recently have been able to meet their nursing recruitment quotas, national studies have predicted a long-term nursing shortage that may affect future recruitment for the Nurse Corps of the three military services. Data are needed to plan for recruitment incentives and the impact of those incentives on targeted populations of likely future nurses. Methods: Data are drawn from three online surveys conducted in 2011-2012, including surveys of 1,302 Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel serving on major military bases, 914 nursing students at colleges with entry Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs located nearby major military bases, and a qualitative survey of 1,200 young adults, age 18-39, in the general public. Findings: The three populations are different in several demographic characteristics. We explored perceptions of military careers, nursing careers and barriers, and incentives to pursue military nursing careers in all populations. Perceptions differ among the groups. Conclusion: The results of this study may help to inform strategies for reaching out to specific populations with targeted messages that focus on barriers and facilitators relevant to each to successfully recruit a diverse Nurse Corps for the future.

This evaluation assessed associations between Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) deployment and post-deployment medical encounters for respiratory symptoms and medical conditions. This retrospective cohort study was conducted among military personnel who, between January 2005 and June 2007, were deployed to either of two locations with burn pits in Iraq, or to either of two locations without burn pits in Kuwait. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated using two nondeployed reference groups. Rates among personnel deployed to burn pit locations were also compared directly to those among personnel deployed to locations without burn pits. Significantly elevated rates of encounters for respiratory symptoms (IRR = 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-1.30) and asthma (IRR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.33-1.78) were observed among the formerly deployed personnel relative to U.S.-stationed personnel. Personnel deployed to burn pit locations did not have significantly elevated rates for any of the outcomes relative to personnel deployed to locations without burn pits. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that OIF deployment is associated with subsequent risk of respiratory conditions. Elevated medical encounter rates were not uniquely associated with burn pits.

There is a question whether IO-administered epinephrine is equivalent to intravenously administered epinephrine during CA. Methods: The question guiding this evidence-based review was as follows: in adults suffering CA given epinephrine via the 10 route, what is the resulting serum concentration of the drug compared to when administered intravenously? A search was conducted and the evidence appraised and leveled. Results: Four animal studies met the inclusion criteria. The sources showed no definitive evidence supporting equivalence between intravenous and 10 epinephrine administered during CA. Intravenously administered epinephrine provides increased and faster appearing serum concentrations than IO-administered epinephrine. Evidence indicated epinephrine given via the sternal 10 route more closely approaches equivalence with intravenously administered epinephrine than when administered by the tibial 10 route. Conclusions: The clinician should consider using proximal 10 infusion sites such as the sternum or humérus when administering advanced cardiac life support drugs to rapidly achieve maximal therapeutic concentrations. Further studies are needed to determine the differences seen when epinephrine is administered by these routes during CA.

The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass.

Online data were collected from 214 undergraduate students. As hypothesized, mentoring was positively related to capitalization, and both mentoring and capitalization were positively related to satisfaction with one's major, affective commitment to one's major, involvement in one's major, and willingness to be a mentor. Contrary to expectations, capitalization did not mediate the relationship between peer reentering and student outcomes, suggesting that these constructs contribute independently to positive outcomes. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

To take a 'bearings' on where we are, 339 ecohydrological articles published between January 2000 and December 2011 in two databases were surveyed. We found that 72% of the studies address questions at the interface of plant ecology and hydrology. The scarcity of studies of animals as drivers of hydrological patterns and processes led us to question the reasons behind plant-based ecologists embracing the term ecohydrology to a greater extent than animal-based ecologists. Following that discussion are current examples of synergies between animal ecologists and hydrologists that have led to a greater understanding of ecosystem processes and a way for ecohydrologists to factor in faunal interactions in their future research. We end by suggesting that ecohydrology form its own scientific society so it can more purposely advance knowledge and understanding of coupled ecological and hydrological system functions.

SN - 13675435 AB - Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of in vivo biodiesel synthesis in Escherichia coli, however, ethyl ester formation was dependent on an external fatty acid feedstock. In contrast to E. coli, actinomycetes may be ideal organisms for direct biodiesel synthesis because of their capacity to synthesize high levels of triacylglcerides (TAGs). In this study, we investigated the physiology and associated TAG accumulation along with the in vivo ability to catalyze ester formation from exogenous short chain alcohol sources in Gordonia sp. KTR9, a strain that possesses a large number of genes dedicated to fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis. Total lipid fatty acids content increased by 75 % and TAG content increased by 50 % under nitrogen starvation conditions in strain KTR9. Strain KTR9 tolerated the exogenous addition of up to 4 % methanol, 4 % ethanol and 2 % propanol in the media. Increasing alcohol concentrations resulted in a decrease in the degree of saturation of recovered fatty acid alcohol esters and a slight increase in the fatty acid chain length. A linear dose dependency in fatty alcohol ester synthesis was observed in the presence of 0.5-2 % methanol and ethanol compared to control KTR9 strains grown in the absence of alcohols. An inspection of the KTR9 genome revealed the presence of several putative wax ester synthase/acyl-coenzyme A : diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WS/DGAT) enzymes, encoded by atf gene homologs, that may catalyze the in vivo synthesis of fatty acid esters from short chain alcohols. Collectively, these results indicate that Gordonia sp. KTR9 may be a suitable actinomycete host strain for in vivo biodiesel synthesis.

Flexible-wall tests were conducted on consolidated backfill specimens () containing clean sand and 4.5-5.7% bentonite (by dry weight) using tap water and calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions (10-1,000 mM) as the permeant liquids. Final values of hydraulic conductivity () and intrinsic permeability () to the CaCl2 solutions were determined after achieving both short-term termination criteria as defined by ASTM D5084 and long-term termination criteria for chemical equilibrium between the influent and effluent. Specimens containing MSB exhibited the smallest increases in and upon permeation with a given CaCl2 solution relative to specimens containing untreated Na bentonite or SW101. However, none of the specimens exhibited more than a fivefold increase in or , regardless of CaCl2 concentration or bentonite type. Final values for specimens permeated with a given CaCl2 solution after permeation with tap water were similar to those for specimens of the same backfill permeated with only the CaCl2 solution, indicating that the order of permeation had no significant effect on . Also, final values for all specimens were within a factor of two of the measured after achieving the ASTM D5084 termination criteria. Thus, use of only the ASTM D5084 criteria would have been sufficient to obtain reasonable estimates of long-term hydraulic conductivity for the specimens in this study.

This study explores two auxiliary data sources derived from cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning measurements and storm tracking applied on radar images in terms of providing microphysical information useful for improving the efficiency of gauge-based bias adjustment techniques. The CG information is used to classify storms into thunderstorms (T-storms) versus showers (i.e., storms without lightning) and the tracking algorithm is used to classify storms according to their stage of maturity (i.e., growing, maturing, and decaying). Data for this study are based on high-resolution radar-rainfall estimates (2-km spatial grid resolution at 15-min intervals) available over the South Florida Water Management District for a period of 11 months, along with corresponding rain gauge measurements from 120 gauges and CG occurrences from the National Lightning Detection Network. The radar error analysis for T-storms versus showers and for the different storm maturity stages indicate that storm tracking and CG contain significant microphysical information that can improve radar-rainfall estimation. It is shown that radar rain estimates tend to underestimate convective rainfall, primarily associated with the growing stage of the storms or the occurrences of CG lightning; showers and storms at mature or decay stages are shown to be better represented by the standard reflectivity-rainfall (-) relationship used for convective and tropical storms in Florida. Results from this study indicate that information regarding storm maturity stage derived from tracking radar images, and to a lesser extent, CG observations, can be used to reduce variability in the - conversion and consequently improve accuracy in real-time radar-rainfall estimation.

Furthermore, the quantitative risk analysis technique is commonly used during the project's initial stage, simply by weighting the financial performance with the incurred risks. Herein, we introduce a decision support algorithm for environmental project evaluation and we focus on its application to solid waste management projects. The proposed algorithm includes some basic steps that should be followed by decision-makers, in order to evaluate a project's options. Specifically, different probability distributions are assigned to all variables that influence the options’ IRRs and Monte Carlo simulation is enforced to compute their expected IRR values. The algorithm presented here can be a useful tool to risk-neutral decision-makers, as it helps them to evaluate an environmental project's options and to select the one with the greatest expected profits.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing is important for the selection and development of an effective post-exposure treatment. This study investigated the effect of cutaneous chlorine vapor exposure using a weanling swine burn model and microarray analysis. Ventral abdominal sites were exposed to a mean calculated chlorine vapor concentration of 2.9 g/L for 30 min. Skin samples were harvested at 1.5 h, 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h post-exposure and stored in RNAlater® until processing. Total RNA was isolated, processed, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® Porcine Genome Arrays. Differences in gene expression were observed with respect to sampling time. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis revealed seven common biological functions among the top ten functions of each time point, while canonical pathway analysis revealed 3 genes (IL-6, IL1A, and IL1B) were commonly shared among three significantly altered signaling pathways. The transcripts encoding all three genes were identified as common potential therapeutic targets for Phase II/III clinical trial, or FDA-approved drugs. The present study shows transcriptional profiling of cutaneous wounds induced by chlorine exposure identified potential targets for developing therapeutics against chlorine-induced skin injury.

This article assesses how diversification of a system of coastal protections might decrease the probabilities of extreme flood losses. The study compares the performance of portfolios each consisting of four types of flood protection assets in a large region of dike rings. A parametric analysis suggests conditions in which diversifications of the types of included flood protection assets decrease extreme flood losses. Increased return periods of extreme losses are associated with portfolios where the asset types have low correlations of economic risk. The effort highlights the importance of understanding correlations across asset types in planning for large-scale flood protection. It allows explicit integration of climate change scenarios in developing flood mitigation strategy.

SN - 09639292 AB - Avian wildlife species commonly ingest lead (Pb) spent shot or bullet fragments as grit or mistakenly as food. In previous studies in our laboratory and others, the toxicity varied based on the diet as well as type and quantity of Pb ingested. In the current study, domestic pigeons were gavaged with 1, 2, or 3 Pb pellets and then followed with weekly radiographs and blood physiologic endpoints for 28 days. Pellet retention decreased by roughly 50 % per week as pellets were either absorbed or excreted, except for week 4 where pellet number no longer was diminished. Size of retained pellets visually decreased over retention time. Birds dosed with a single #9 pellet showed mean blood Pb levels over 80 times higher than those of the controls, verifying Pb pellet absorption from the gut. A single Pb pellet also reduced plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALAD) activity by over 80 % compared to controls, suggesting the potential for population injury in Pb pellet-exposed pigeons.

SN - 09639292 AB - Evaluation of multiple-stressor effects stemming from habitat degradation, climate change, and exposure to chemical contaminants is crucial for addressing challenges to ecological and environmental health. To assess the effects of multiple stressors in an understudied taxon, the western fence lizard ( Sceloporus occidentalis) was used to characterize the individual and combined effects of food limitation, exposure to the munitions constituent 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and Plasmodium mexicanum (lizard malaria) infection. Three experimental assays were conducted including: Experiment I-TNT × Food Limitation, Experiment II-Food Limitation × Malaria Infection, and Experiment III-TNT × Malaria Infection. All experiments had a 30 day duration, the malaria treatment included infected and non infected control lizards, food limitation treatments included an ad libitum control and at least one reduced food ration and TNT exposures consisting of daily oral doses of corn oil control or a corn oil-TNT suspension at 5, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg/day. The individual stressors caused a variety of effects including: reduced feeding, reduced testes mass, anemia, increased white blood cell (WBC) concentrations and increased mass of liver, kidney and spleen in TNT exposures; reduced cholesterol, WBC concentrations and whole body, testes and inguinal fat weights given food limitation; and increased WBC concentrations and spleen weights as well as decreased cholesterol and testes mass in malaria infected lizards. Additive and interactive effects were found among certain stressor combinations including elimination of TNT-induced hormesis for growth under food limitation. Ultimately, our study indicates the potential for effects modulation when environmental stressors are combined.

This paper describes a procedure for conducting such analyses using widely available Internet-based data and tools. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the steps necessary to execute a hydrologic analysis remotely. The analysis presented was conducted using programs typically found on any computer or that can be downloaded on short notice from the Internet. Freely available online geospatial data were used to create a database of hydrologic conditions at remotely identified points of interest. These points of interest were compared to actual hydrologic databases for sections of Interstate 25 in New Mexico and State Route M-131 in Michigan. The results of the remote hydrologic analysis correctly identified and analyzed 78% of actual physical locations of culverts for the New Mexico site. Due to increased difficulty of visual identification caused by the density of land cover in a more humid climate, the remote hydrologic analysis technique correctly identified 55% of actual physical locations of culverts for the Michigan site. Potential methods to improve the accuracy of the technique are discussed.

Thus, understanding and preserving the connectivity between distant habitats in this region plays a major role in protecting and managing such anadromous fish populations. The focus of this project was to determine the within-river routes Gulf sturgeon take through the lower Pascagoula River downstream of the point where it splits (river kilometer 23) into two distinct distributaries. Sixty days were sampled throughout a two-year period with a total effort of 81 947 net-meter-hours and eight Gulf sturgeon were captured, ranging from 74 to 189 cm FL and weighing from 3.6 to 52.6 kg. Using an array of automated telemetry receivers, acoustically tagged Gulf sturgeon movements were monitored within the lower river and associated estuary. Estimated residence times (days) suggest Gulf sturgeon appear to prefer the eastern distributary upriver from Bayou Chemise as the primary travel corridor between freshwater habitats and marine feeding grounds. The western distributary mouth was more highly used by Gulf sturgeon during both seasonal migrations between upriver and offshore habitats. Thus, the western distributary appears to represent the main entrance point utilized by Gulf sturgeon to the Pascagoula River watershed and should be protected as the eastern distributary mouth has been altered from a natural marsh edge to one of hardened surfaces.

SN - 03781909 AB - Atlantic sturgeon migrate between ocean and freshwater habitats to spawn, and juveniles spend several years in fresh/brackish water before returning to the ocean. Because strontium/calcium (Sr/Ca) ratios are diagnostic for freshwater and marine environments, we examined the utility of energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) to quantify Sr/Ca ratios of Atlantic sturgeon pectoral fin spines. Atlantic sturgeon spines from wild adults and experimental juveniles were analyzed along a linear transect from the primordium to the outermost point. To verify the technique hatchery juvenile Atlantic sturgeon were held in experimental tanks at <0.5, 13-15, or 33-35‰ and sampled after 5 months. Sr/Ca ratios of experimental hatchery fish increased with salinity, and Sr/Ca ratios in wild adults varied predictably along the measurement transect. However, the ratio decreased in the outermost region of the spine in mature fish collected during a return to freshwater for spawning. Therefore EDXRF is a useful tool to track individual movements of Atlantic sturgeons and other diadromous fish.

SN - 14312174 AB - Mountain Lake in Giles County, Virginia, USA, has a documented history of severe natural lake-level changes involving groundwater seepage that extends over the past 4,200 years. The natural lake was full during a large part of the twentieth century but dried up completely in September 2008 and levels have yet to recover. The objective of the study was to understand the hydrogeologic factors that influence lake-level changes using a daily water balance, electrical resistivity, water sampling and geochemical analysis, and well logging. Results from the water balance demonstrate the seasonal response to precipitation of a forested first-order drainage system in fractured rock. The resistivity surveys suggest discrete high-permeability areas may provide pathways for lake drainage. Imagery, well logs, and field observations appear to confirm the presence of a fault which crosses the Eastern Continental Divide to the east of the lake that had not previously been discussed in literature on the lake; the position of the lake within local and intermediate groundwater flow systems is considered. Historical data suggest that either significant precipitation or artificial intervention to mitigate seepage would be required for lake-level recovery in the near future.

Los resultados del balance de agua demuestran la respuesta estacional a la precipitación en un sistema de drenaje de primer orden forestado en roca fracturada. Los relevamientos de resistividad sugieren que las áreas de una discreta alta permeabilidad pueden proporcionar trayectorias para drenaje del lago. Las imágenes, los perfilajes de pozos, y las observaciones de campo parecen confirmar la presencia de una falla que cruza la divisoria continental oriental hacia el este del lago que no había sido discutida previamente en la literatura; se considera la posición del lago dentro de los sistemas de flujo de aguas subterráneas local e intermedio. Los datos históricos sugieren que para mitigar el escurrimiento subterráneo y recuperar el nivel del lago en un futuro cercano se requeriría una precipitación significativa o bien una intervención artificial, (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Mountain Lake dans le Giles County, Virginie, USA, a un historique documenté sur les variations naturelles sévères du niveau lacustre impliquant des écoulements souterrains sur les 4,200 années passées. Le lac naturel était plein durant une grande partie du vingtième siècle mais s'assécha complètement en septembre 2008 et les niveaux doivent encore se rétablir. L'objectif de l'étude était de comprendre les facteurs hydrogéologiques influençant les variations du niveau lacustre en utilisant bilan journalier en eau, résistivité électrique, analyse géochimique sur échantillon d'eau et diagraphie de puits. Les bilans d'eau montrent une réponse saisonnière aux précipitations par un système de drainage en forêt de première grandeur par la roche fracturée. Les mesures de résistivité suggèrent des zones discrètes de perméabilité élevée pouvant constituer des chenaux de drainage du lac. Imagerie, diagraphies et observations de terrain semblent confirmer la présence d'une faille qui traverse la ligne de séparation des eaux à l'Est du lac et qui n'avait pas été précédemment considérée dans la littérature sur le lac. La position du lac à l'intérieur des systèmes d'écoulement local et proche est examinée. Des données historiques suggèrent que soit une précipitation importante soit une intervention pour atténuer la perte d'eau seraient nécessaires pour un rétablissement du niveau lacustre dans un proche futur.

These traits have also enabled this fish to become a highly successful invasive species into temperate and subtropical aquatic environments. Otolith-based ages of Nile tilapia (41.3 - 400.0 mm TL, 1.34 - 1,293 g WW, n = 259) collected from a power plant cooling reservoir and the Pascagoula River proper indicated that feral populations overwintered reaching ages up to 4+ years old in coastal Mississippi, USA; these data confirm their establishment. A survey of mean daily winter (December - February) water temperatures from 2004 - 2010 in this region showed minimum lethal temperatures of < 10°C to occur nearly 11% of the time attesting to the adaptability of the Nile tilapia as an invasive species. One annulus (opaque zone) per year was being deposited from April to August based on marginal increment analysis along with sulcal groove length-age estimation of the young-of-the-year Nile tilapia. Additionally, life history metrics measured for this temperate population of Nile tilapia were nearly identical to those reported from African environments, indicating they are flourishing in this non-native habitat.

SN - 01688162 AB - Rodents are the natural hosts for Leptotrombidium mites that transmit Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, a potentially fatal febrile human disease. Utilizing mite lines that included O. tsutsugamushi infected and non-infected Leptotrombidium species we investigated the varied infection response of outbred mice (ICR) exposed to L. chiangraiensis (Lc), L. imphalum (Li) and L. deliense (Ld). Each of six mite lines (Lc1, Lc5, Li3, Li4, Li7 and Ld) was separately placed in the inner ears of ICR mice either as a single individual (individual feeding, IF) or as a group of 2-4 individuals (pool feeding, PF). The species of infected chigger feeding on mice significantly affected mortality rates of the mice, with mite lines of Lc causing higher mean (±SE) mortality (90.7 ± 3.6 %) than mite lines of Li (62.9 ± 5.6 %) or Ld (53.6 ± 5.8 %). Mouse responses which included time to death, food consumption and total mice weight change depended on mite species and their O. tsutsugamushi genotype, more than on feeding procedure (IF vs. PF) except for mite lines within the Lc. Infected mite lines of Lc were the most virulent infected mites assessed whereas the infected Ld species was the least virulent for the ICR. Mice killed by various mite lines showed enlarged spleens and produced ascites. The results of this investigation of the clinical responses of ICR mice to feeding by various infected mite lines indicated that the different species of infected mites and their O. tsutsugamushi genotype produced different clinical presentations in ICR mice, a scrub typhus mouse model which mimics the natural transmission of O. tsutsugamushi that is critical for understanding scrub typhus disease in terms of natural transmission, host-pathogen-vector interaction and vaccine development.

These have typically been linked with both the hydrodynamic and water quality models using similar explicit time steps, but for long-term simulations implicit models are required. The water quality codes linked to these hydrodynamic codes are forced to perform their computations using the hydrodynamic time step even though utilizing the same might result in drifting of the water quality solution. This technical note presents the development and testing of an operator splitting-derived method for linking hydrodynamic and water quality codes with adaptive time stepping. The resulting method provides high-fidelity solutions that compare well with analytic solutions and lends itself for extension to various other transported quantities.

In migratory songbirds, there is evidence that long-distance movement capabilities do not translate well into observed dispersal. Our objectives were to (i) define the fine-scale spatial genetic structure in endangered black-capped vireos to characterize dispersal patterns and (ii) to correlate dispersal dynamics to overall population genetic structure using a simulation approach. We sampled 160 individuals over 2 years to (i) describe the fine-scale genetic structuring and (ii) used this information to model scenarios to compare with actual data on change in population structuring over a 100-year interval. We found that black-capped vireos exhibit male philopatry and restricted dispersal distances, relative to females. Our simulations also support a sex-biased dispersal model. Additionally, we find that fragmentation related changes in rates of dispersal might be a likely cause for increasing levels of population structure over a 100-year period. We show that restricted sex-biased dispersal can explain population structuring in this species and that changes in dispersal rates due to fragmentation may be a continuing threat to genetic viability in this species.

JO - Hydrological Processes JF - Hydrological Processes Y1 - 2012/08/15/ VL - 26 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 2573 EP - 2582 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 08856087 AB - With an increased volume of melt on many of the world's glaciers, study of how meltwater affects the properties of glacial snowpack becomes essential to our understanding of how glaciers will respond to climate change. We address this problem by studying how snow properties changed on sub-daily timescales on the Kahiltna Glacier, Alaska, between May 26 and June 10, 2010. During this period, we dug 1.8-m-deep snow pits twice daily to record the stratigraphy of melt layers, snow hardness, grain size, and density and sampled for hydrogen isotopic composition (δD) on four occasions. From these data, we show that 65% of the melted surface snow infiltrates and refreezes in the snowpack. This leads to a densification of the snow, a 729% increase in volume of melt layers, and a homogenization of isotopic and physical snow properties. From visual and stratigraphic observations, we show that meltwater flow within the snowpack is conducted primarily along lenses and pipes, where melt layers later form, but that more homogeneous capillary-based flow is also important. Finally, we show using isotope ratios that post-depositional alteration is exacerbated with increased melt extent, using the δD profile below a volcanic ash layer as a case study. In the future, similar studies would benefit from this high-frequency monitoring approach to assessing snowpack evolution, as it allows for a greater understanding of short duration processes. New directions for study would include longer-term monitoring efforts over a wider spatial snow pit network. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

JO - Hydrological Processes JF - Hydrological Processes Y1 - 2012/08/15/ VL - 26 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 2631 EP - 2642 PB - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. SN - 08856087 AB - Since the winter season of 2004-2005, annual snow assessments have been conducted for the major watersheds of Afghanistan using multispectral (AVHRR and MODIS) and passive microwave (SSM/I and AMSR-E) remote sensing technologies. Because of limited ground-based observations of precipitation and snow pack conditions, remote sensing provides a unique opportunity to assess these conditions at different scales offering an appraisal of current conditions from a historical context. This paper describes the methodology that has been developed over the past seven winter seasons, wherein bi-weekly snow products and assessments are produced including the following: current snow-covered area (SCA) at regional and watershed scales; estimation of SCA by elevation band; current snowpack volume [snow water equivalent (SWE)] for each watershed with a historical perspective (1987-present); snow condition outlook by watershed; general summary of snow conditions based on remote sensing products and limited ground-based observations; and if warranted, a snow melt flooding advisory. Further analysis of these snow products and assessments are presented. Moreover, comparisons between both available passive microwave estimates of SWE (SSM/I and AMSR-E) for all watersheds differ in magnitude yet exhibit similar historical trends. The SSM/I versus AMSR-E historical differences in SWE for each of the major Afghanistan watersheds are quantified and show a strong relationship ( R2 = 96%) to the mean elevation of the watershed.

The LiDAR imagery clearly delineates active normal faults that have displaced late Pleistocene glacial moraines and Holocene alluvium along 30 km of linear, right-stepping range front of the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone. Herein, we illustrate and describe the tectonic geomorphology of faulted lateral moraines. We have developed new, three-dimensional modeling techniques that utilize the high-resolution LiDAR data to determine tectonic displacements of moraine crests and alluvium. The statistically robust displacement models combined with new ages of the displaced Tioga (20.8 ± 1.4 ka) and Tahoe (69.2 ± 4.8 ka; 73.2 ± 8.7 ka) moraines are used to estimate the minimum vertical separation rate at 17 sites along the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone. Near the northern end of the study area, the minimum vertical separation rate is 1.5 ± 0.4 mm/yr, which represents a two- to threefold increase in estimates of seismic moment for the Lake Tahoe basin. From this study, we conclude that potential earthquake moment magnitudes (Mw) range from 6.3 ± 0.25 to 6.9 ± 0.25. A close spatial association of landslides and active faults suggests that landslides have been seismically triggered. Our study underscores that the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone poses substantial seismic and landslide hazards.

SN - 13850237 AB - Fire can have dramatic effects on the vital rates of plant species and has been used successfully for management in a number of ecosystems. However, the demographic response of species to fire in fire-dependent ecosystems is variable, making it important to study the effects of fire on rare and threatened species. We quantified the effects of fire on Astragalus michauxii and Pyxidanthera brevifolia, two rare endemics of the longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem of the southeastern USA, by means of periodic matrix models to project the effect of fire frequency on population growth. In contrast to many species in the longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem, fire had short-term negative effects on both species, causing reductions in survival, size, flowering, and fruit production. Relative to the three-year fire intervals to which the study populations are currently exposed, more frequent burning is projected to cause population decline, with the most dramatic effects under annual burning. Although the current longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem is fire dependent and has experienced frequent fire for at least several thousand years, we propose that the two endemic species may be remnants from a past vegetation assemblage that experienced less frequent fire and thus may be adapted to longer fire-return intervals compared to other species currently in the ecosystem. Despite the short-term negative effects of fire on the vital rates of these species, longer-term benefits such as reduction of woody encroachment and litter removal may be important for the ultimate success of the species.

The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during a wave event is an important parameter in determining erosion and transport for both experimental and model simulation applications. Sandia National Laboratories has developed a laboratory and field device called the sediment erosion actuated by wave oscillations and linear flow (SEAWOLF) flume in which high-resolution, particle-image velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to investigate turbulent flow shear stresses for a variety of flow conditions. The results of the PIV analysis for a wave cycle demonstrate a fully developed turbulent flow, relaminarization, and an explosive transition back to turbulence. In many cases, the results of the flume tests did not show good agreement with previously reported computational fluid dynamic results and existing theories, such as Blasius, for wave-current interactions, which raises the question of whether similar phenomena are present in real environments. These results implore more studies to be conducted with similarly high-resolution field measurements and modeling efforts to determine shear stress time history for oscillatory flows and the subsequent effects on erosion and sediment transport in wave-dominated environments.

Previous studies have generated conflicting results with respect to the impact of fullerenes on microbial activity. In the present study, Salmonella typhimurium TA100 was selected as a model microbial system with which to investigate further the impact of C60 aggregates on microbial growth, mutagenicity, and global transcript expression. Aggregates of C60 predominantly less than 100 nm significantly impacted Salmonella growth at concentrations of ≥0.5 mg/L. In addition, C60 aggregates also displayed mutagenic potential at concentrations ≥0.1 mg/L. Transcript expression analysis of S. typhimurium TA100 exposed to C60 for 24 h indicated that 271 transcripts had significant differential expression relative to controls with twofold or more change. Of particular interest was the increased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in energy metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, transcription, and DNA metabolism, and the decreased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in protein fate, transport, and binding and bacterial secretion systems. Collectively, these data indicate that C60 interacts with the outer membrane of S. typhimurium TA100, resulting in delayed growth and mutagenicity, most likely by interfering with key transport functions and inducing a stress response, respectively.

SN - 00496979 AB - Explosive compounds, including known toxicants 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), are loaded to soils during military training. Their fate in soils is ultimately controlled by soil mineralogical and biogeochemical processes. We detonated pure mineral phases with Composition B, a mixture of TNT and RDX, and investigated the fate of detonation residues in aqueous slurries constructed from the detonated minerals. The pure minerals included Ottawa sand (quartz and calcite), microcline feldspar, phlogopite mica, muscovite mica, vermiculite clay, beidellite (a representative of the smectite clay group), and nontronite clay. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and gas adsorption surface area measurements were made of the pristine and detonated minerals. Batch slurries of detonated minerals and deionized water were sampled for 141 days and TNT, RDX, and TNT transformation products were measured from the aqueous samples and from the mineral substrates at day 141. Detonated samples generally exhibited lower gas adsorption surface areas than pristine ones, likely from residue coating, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion. TNT and RDX exhibited analyte loss in almost all batch solutions over time but loss was greater in vermiculite, beidellite, and phlogopite than in muscovite and quartz. This suggests common phyllosilicate mineral substrates could be used on military training ranges to minimize off-site migration of explosive residues. We present a conceptual model to represent the physical and chemical processes that occurred in our aqueous batches over time.

SN - 07490208 AB - Currently, a number of organizations across the Gulf Coast are simultaneously collecting and distributing proprietary data. However, if Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) users are to perform analysis efficiently and make effective, educated decisions to support various coastal projects, collaboration and data sharing at all levels of government and among the numerous shareholders must be established. One method of doing this is the implementation of an enterprise geographic information system (EGIS)-a geospatial technology infrastructure that delivers spatial information products, services, and standard data sets to all business elements and processes within and among organizations. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed and/or participated in a number of such enterprise GIS efforts, including the eCoastal, CE-Dredge, and Spatial Presentation Viewer programs. It is therefore proposed that the GRSMMP establish a firm data management plan and implement an organized, enterprise approach to data management through the use of Web Map Services (WMS). By including the publication of planned data acquisition, inventory of available offline data products, and direct access to organization flagship data sets, such a proposal would allow GRSMMP members to locate, connect to, view, and retrieve desirable data sets across many agencies, saving time and money previously dedicated to new data acquisition.

SN - 07490208 AB - Dredging activities are a potential source of sediment and should be considered in any conservation and restoration planning process. Wise use of sediment resources from dredging is integral to accomplishing the conservation and restoration initiatives and objectives being recommended under the Gulf of Mexico Alliance. Keeping dredged sediments within the natural system or using it in the construction of restoration projects can improve environmental conditions, provide storm damage protection, and contribute to habitat creation and restoration goals. Hundreds of millions of cubic yards of sediments are dredged each year from Gulf ports, harbors, and waterways, much of which could be used beneficially. Currently it is estimated that about 30% of all material dredged from federal channels in the Gulf states is used beneficially and very little of the privately funded dredging is used for beneficial purposes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducts dredging under its navigation maintenance program and much of the dredging conducted is typically done on a scheduled and routine basis. Successful planning of beneficial-use projects utilizing USACE dredging necessitates the early coordination and work of multidisciplinary interagency teams on a regular basis. There is also a need to improve data access and management for dredging activities for use by project managers and planners.

SN - 07490208 AB - Development of dynamic regional sediment management (RSM) plans is needed for future planning, construction, and monitoring of wetland and barrier island restoration. Broadly speaking, RSM refers to the optimum use of various sediment resources (littoral, estuarine, and riverine) in an environmentally effective and economically feasible manner. Coordination of the supply and demand sides of sand resources in a comprehensive manner will be required as project planning develops and evolves. The sediment budget is a planning tool that provides an accounting of sediment sources, sinks, and pathways as well as engineering activities and sediment budgets have generally been characterized as conceptual, interim, and operational depending upon the quality of the data, the level of analysis, and the uncertainty associated with the volume fluxes in the sediment budget. This paper summarizes existing sediment budget data for the entire Northern Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of this work has been to compile available sediment budget data into a common geographic information system-based data management framework in order to address various sediment management issues related to restoration around the Gulf of Mexico. The regional sediment budget is comprehensive and current through year end 2008. Within the coastal management community, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of reliable sediment budgets to inform sediment management decisions. However more work is needed to refine the sediment budget and provide its appropriate place in coastal management decisions.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2012/05/02/Summer2012 Special Issue 60 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - A partnership has been instituted through the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) among the Gulf States to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico. Established under the GOMA, the Habitat Conservation and Restoration Team (HCRT) recognized that sediments are integral to and a critical resource in accomplishing the GOMA conservation and restoration objectives. As a result, the Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) was initiated for managing sediment resources and corroborates the need for an understanding of regional sediment processes. The plan provides guidelines using the understanding of sediment dynamics to manage resources toward accomplishing environmental restoration, conservation, and preservation while enhancing abilities to make informed, management decisions. A key step in this process is the recognition of a technical framework that provides a foundation associated with regional sediment management processes essential for establishing management guidelines that balance sediment dynamics and available sediment resources with needs and that enhance abilities to make informed management decisions and develop regional strategies. Issues surrounding sediment management, both natural and dredged sediments, have a considerable impact on the ability to sustain coastal habitats. Sediment management must occur on a regional scale unencumbered by agency, state, or political boundaries. Guidelines and recommendations from this effort will aid the Gulf States in more effective management of sediment resources, recognizing they are a part of a regional system involving natural and man- made processes. The effort involves a range of state and federal agencies, as well as nongovernmental representatives. Thus, a technical framework for the GRSMMP was compiled/completed and submitted to the HCRT/GOMA. The decision was made to publish this document as peer-reviewed papers in a special issue of the Journal of Coastal Research for benefit of the global scientific community. In return, feedback in terms of review and comments will be beneficial for the team.

JO - Ecotoxicology JF - Ecotoxicology Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 21 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 933 EP - 972 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09639292 AB - This review paper reports the consensus of a technical workshop hosted by the European network, NanoImpactNet (NIN). The workshop aimed to review the collective experience of working at the bench with manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs), and to recommend modifications to existing experimental methods and OECD protocols. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are appropriate for most MNMs, although interference with electrodes may occur. Maintaining exposure is more difficult with MNMs compared to conventional chemicals. A metal salt control is recommended for experiments with metallic MNMs that may release free metal ions. Dispersing agents should be avoided, but if they must be used, then natural or synthetic dispersing agents are possible, and dispersion controls essential. Time constraints and technology gaps indicate that full characterisation of test media during ecotoxicity tests is currently not practical. Details of electron microscopy, dark-field microscopy, a range of spectroscopic methods (EDX, XRD, XANES, EXAFS), light scattering techniques (DLS, SLS) and chromatography are discussed. The development of user-friendly software to predict particle behaviour in test media according to DLVO theory is in progress, and simple optical methods are available to estimate the settling behaviour of suspensions during experiments. However, for soil matrices such simple approaches may not be applicable. Alternatively, a Critical Body Residue approach may be taken in which body concentrations in organisms are related to effects, and toxicity thresholds derived. For microbial assays, the cell wall is a formidable barrier to MNMs and end points that rely on the test substance penetrating the cell may be insensitive. Instead assays based on the cell envelope should be developed for MNMs. In algal growth tests, the abiotic factors that promote particle aggregation in the media (e.g. ionic strength) are also important in providing nutrients, and manipulation of the media to control the dispersion may also inhibit growth. Controls to quantify shading effects, and precise details of lighting regimes, shaking or mixing should be reported in algal tests. Photosynthesis may be more sensitive than traditional growth end points for algae and plants. Tests with invertebrates should consider non-chemical toxicity from particle adherence to the organisms. The use of semi-static exposure methods with fish can reduce the logistical issues of waste water disposal and facilitate aspects of animal husbandry relevant to MMNs. There are concerns that the existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed for MNMs and that new test(s) are required. In vitro testing strategies, as exemplified by genotoxicity assays, can be modified for MNMs, but the risk of false negatives in some assays is highlighted. In conclusion, most protocols will require some modifications and recommendations are made to aid the researcher at the bench.

The region of interest is modeled with a shallow-water, depth-averaged, finite-element model. The water levels and discharge are analyzed at a location in the GIWW to ascertain model behavior. It is shown that the presence of the structure produces infrequent increases in velocities in the GIWW, which can be mitigated by a proposed structure near Lake Pontchartrain.

Time series measurements of irregular and unsteady flow thickness and velocity were acquired at two locations on the landward-side, 1V : 3H slope. These measurements were used to calculate the time series of instantaneous shear stress representing the average over a 4.8-m-long (prototype scale) levee slope between the two measurement locations. Empirical relationships are presented for estimating the mean shear stresses for steady overflow and for combined wave and surge overtopping. For the latter case, additional formulas are given for estimating representative parameters of the irregular shear stress peaks associated with individual overtopping waves. The collected data were intended primarily for the design of rapidly deployable levee armoring systems; however, the data could also be used to evaluate the erosion of soil or vegetated levees and dikes.

SN - 0364152X AB - Construction of six large dams and reservoirs on the Missouri River over the last 50-75 years has resulted in major landscape changes and alterations in flow patterns, with implications for riparian forests dominated by plains cottonwood ( Populus deltoides). We quantified changes in land cover from 1892-1950s and the 1950s-2006 and the current extent and age structure of cottonwood forests on seven segments (two reservoir and five remnant floodplain) comprising 1127 km (53 %) of the unchannelized upper two-thirds of the Missouri River. Riparian forest area declined by 49 %; grassland 61 %; shrubland 52 %; and sandbar habitat 96 %; while agricultural cropland increased six-fold and river/reservoir surface area doubled from 1892 to 2006. Net rates of erosion and accretion declined between the 1892-1950s and 1950s-2006 periods. Accretion exceeded erosion on remnant floodplain segments, resulting in declines in active channel width, particularly in 1950s-2006. Across all study segments in 2006, most cottonwood stands (67 %) were >50 years old, 22 % were 25-50 years old, and only 10 % were <25 years old. Among stands <50 years old, the higher proportion of 25-50 year old stands represents recruitment that accompanied initial post-dam channel narrowing; while declines in sandbar and shrubland area and the low proportion of stands <25 years old suggest declines in geomorphic dynamism and limited recruitment under recent river management. Future conservation and restoration efforts should focus both on limiting further loss of remnant cottonwood stands and developing approaches to restore river dynamics and cottonwood recruitment processes.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 28 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 547 EP - 556 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - The Hayes classification of tidal inlet geomorphic type and the distances from the inlet to the most seaward and down-drift extents of ebb deltas are examined. For this purpose, a database was compiled for 89 tidal inlets along the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Ocean coasts of the United States. The database contains spring or diurnal tidal prism and the average significant wave height and wave period from a 20-year hindcast. The Hayes diagram aims to classify inlet plan- view morphology by tide range and wave height. Based on the work presented here, it is concluded that the inlet classification of Hayes has limited applicability for describing the morphology of typical tidal inlets, and replacement of tide range by inlet tidal prism did not improve the classification. Best correlation for the two ebb delta extents was found for inlets segregated by wave exposure (as mild, moderate, or high) and by tidal prism. There was poor or no correlation for moderately wave-exposed inlets, and moderate to high correlation was found for mildly and highly exposed inlets. The seaward and down-drift extents of inlets tend to remain constant up to a tidal prism less than 108 m3, depending on wave exposure, and then increase linearly with tidal prism. It is postulated that a tidal prism less than approximately 108 m3 is a tipping point required to overcome other factors controlling tidal inlet plan-form morphology.

SN - 19397291 AB - Early detection of an invading nonindigenous plant species (NIS) may be critical for efficient and effective management. Adaptive survey sampling methods may provide unbiased sampling for best estimates of distribution of rare and spatially clustered populations of plants in the early stages of invasion. However, there are few examples of these methods being used for nonnative plant surveys in which travelling distances away from an initial or source patch, or away from a road or trail, can be time consuming due to the topography and vegetation. Nor is there guidance as to which of the many adaptive methods would be most appropriate as a basis for invasive plant mapping and subsequent management. Here we used an empirical complete census of four invader species in early to middle stages of invasion in a management area to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of three nonadaptive methods, four adaptive cluster methods, and four adaptive web sampling methods that all originated from transects. The adaptive methods generally sampled more NIS-occupied cells and patches than standard transect approaches. Sampling along roads only was time-efficient and effective, but only for species with restricted distribution along the roads. When populations were more patchy and dispersed over the landscape the adaptive cluster starting at the road generally proved to be the most time-efficient and effective NIS detection method.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 126 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 505 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - The highly toxic organophosphorus compound VX [O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]methylphosphonate] is an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Prolonged inhibition of AChE increases endogenous levels of acetylcholine and is toxic at nerve synapses and neuromuscular junctions. We hypothesized that repeated exposure to sublethal doses of VX would affect genes associated with cell survival, neuronal plasticity, and neuronal remodeling, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). We examined the time course of BDNF expression in C57BL/6 mouse brain following repeated exposure (1/day × 5 days/week × 2 weeks) to sublethal doses of VX (0.2 LD50 and 0.4 LD50). BDNF messenger RNA expression was significantly (p < 0.05) elevated in multiple brain regions, including the dentate gyrus, CA3, and CA1 regions of the hippocampal formation, as well as the piriform cortex, hypothalamus, amygdala, and thalamus, 72 h after the last 0.4 LD50 VX exposure. BDNF protein expression, however, was only increased in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. Whether increased BDNF in response to sublethal doses of VX exposure is an adaptive response to prevent cellular damage or a precursor to impending brain damage remains to be determined. If elevated BDNF is an adaptive response, exogenous BDNF may be a potential therapeutic target to reduce the toxic effects of nerve agent exposure.

Recent Records of Decision (RODs) for Army CERCLA sites were reviewed to select case studies where remedial management occurred in response to ecological risks. Thirty-four Army RODs were evaluated representing decisions promulgated between 1996 and 2004. Five were selected based on assessments that remedial actions were clearly linked to concern for ecological receptors. The Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) approach and the subsequent risk management process were reviewed for each site. The case studies demonstrated that the ERA findings, as well as critical management decisions regarding interpretation of identified ecological risks, were determinants of remedial action objectives. Decisions regarding the selection of remedial alternatives were based on a set of criteria prescribed by Superfund requirements and guidance. Remedial alternative evaluations require protection of human health and the environment, but protective conditions were determined using different methods at each site. Examining the remedial management process for the 5 case study sites revealed that uncertainty in the risk assessment and decisions regarding appropriate spatial scales for both risk assessment and remediation were important factors influencing remedial action decisions. The case reviews also revealed that levels of documentation were variable from site to site. In the future, more detailed documentation of decision criteria and the development of criteria that consider the resilience of the site will result in more technically defensible ecological risk management.

Significant economic, ecological, and social issues are intertwined in addressing the nation's contaminated sediment problem. Managing contaminated sediments has become increasingly resource intensive, with some investigations costing tens of millions of dollars and the majority of remediation projects proceeding at a slow pace. At present, the approaches typically used to investigate, evaluate, and remediate contaminated sediment sites in the United States have largely fallen short of producing timely, risk-based, cost-effective, long-term solutions. With the purpose of identifying opportunities for accelerating progress at contaminated sediment sites, the US Army Corps of Engineers-Engineer Research and Development Center and the Sediment Management Work Group convened a workshop with experienced experts from government, industry, consulting, and academia. Workshop participants identified 5 actions that, if implemented, would accelerate the progress and increase the effectiveness of risk management at contaminated sediment sites. These actions included: 1) development of a detailed and explicit project vision and accompanying objectives, achievable short-term and long-term goals, and metrics of remedy success at the outset of a project, with refinement occurring as needed throughout the duration of the project; 2) strategic engagement of stakeholders in a more direct and meaningful process; 3) optimization of risk reduction, risk management processes, and remedy selection addressing 2 important elements: a) the deliberate use of early action remedies, where appropriate, to accelerate risk reduction; and b) the systematic and sequential development of a suite of actions applicable to the ultimate remedy, starting with monitored natural recovery and adding engineering actions as needed to satisfy the project's objectives; 4) an incentive process that encourages and rewards risk reduction; and 5) pursuit of sediment remediation projects as a public-private collaborative enterprise. These 5 actions provide a clear path for connecting current US regulatory guidance to improved practices that produce better applications of science and risk management and more effective and efficient solutions at contaminated sediment sites.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: A military multitasking environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent agent, RoboLeader, on the performance of robotics operators.Background: The participants’ task was to manage a team of ground robots with the assistance of RoboLeader, an intelligent agent capable of coordinating the robots and changing their routes on the basis of battlefield developments.Method: In the first experiment, RoboLeader was perfectly reliable; in the second experiment, RoboLeader’s recommendations were manipulated to be either false-alarm prone or miss prone, with a reliability level of either 60% or 90%. The visual density of the targeting environment was manipulated by the presence or absence of friendly soldiers.Results: RoboLeader, when perfectly reliable, was helpful in reducing the overall mission times. The type of RoboLeader imperfection (false-alarm vs. miss prone) affected operators’ performance of tasks involving visual scanning (target detection, route editing, and situation awareness). There was a consistent effect of visual density (clutter of the visual scene) for multiple performance measures. Participants’ attentional control and video gaming experience affected their overall multitasking performance. In both experiments, participants with greater spatial ability consistently outperformed their low-spatial-ability counterparts in tasks that required effective visual scanning.Conclusion: Intelligent agents, such as RoboLeader, can benefit the overall human-robot teaming performance. However, the effects of type of agent unreliability, tasking requirements, and individual differences have complex effects on human-agent interaction.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of robots in military settings and will provide useful data to designs of systems for multirobot control.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 126 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 83 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Editor's Hightlight: Ricin is a highly toxic agent that could be utilized as a bioterrorism weapon. This study tested the efficacy of two different recombinant ricin subunit vaccines to protect against ricin administered via inhalation exposure. Both vaccines were found to be effective in preventing the lethal effects of ricin exposure. This study supports the potential use of ricin vaccines in human populations at risk of ricin exposure.Ricin, isolated from the castor bean plant Ricinus communis, is included on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category B list of bioterrorism agents, indicating that the toxin is moderately easy to disseminate and could result in moderate morbidity rates. This study evaluated two promising recombinant ricin subunit vaccines, one made using an Escherichia coli codon–optimized gene and the other using a yeast codon–optimized gene in E. coli-based fermentations. Rabbits were vaccinated four times over a period of 6 months and challenged with ∼10 to 30 times the median lethal dose of aerosolized ricin. All unvaccinated control rabbits were either found dead or humanely euthanized within 30 h postchallenge, while the rabbits vaccinated with either vaccine survived the exposure without adverse clinical signs. When the protective antibody responses were analyzed, no significant difference was seen between the two vaccines. However, there was a significant difference in the immune response over time for both vaccines tested. Although clinical pathology was unremarkable, significant histological lesions in the control animals included fibrinonecrotic pneumonia, acute necrotizing lesions in the upper respiratory tract, and necrotizing lymphadenitis in the lymph nodes draining the upper and lower respiratory tract. Vaccine-treated rabbits exhibited resolving lesions associated with ricin exposure, namely chronic inflammation in the upper respiratory tract and lungs, fibrosis, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia, and bronchiolitis obliterans. This study confirmed the safety and efficacy of two recombinant ricin subunit vaccines in rabbits, offering potential protection to warfighters and select populations.

Within the Mississippi River, restoring side channel functional diversity is a top priority for many natural resource agencies. Buffalo Chute, located at river kilometer 41, is one of the several side channels, island complexes that becomes isolated from the main channel during low river stages leading to thermal and chemical stratifications and anoxic conditions. The purpose of this study was to better understand the impacts of side-channel isolation in the middle Mississippi River (MMR) by measuring fish community and water quality characteristics within an isolated waterbody. Therefore, we selected Buffalo Chute a representative side channel of the MMR to document water quality and fish community characteristics. Water quality measurements were summarized for the 2-year study. Thermal and chemical stratifications coupled with high water temperatures and anoxic conditions were observed in both years during summer. Oxygen reduction potential was lower in summer than winter, which could be attributed to excessive growth of microorganisms and increased biological oxygen demand. Specific conductivity, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll a were higher in summer compared to winter. Differences in water quality characteristics may have resulted in lower mean fish species richness, diversity, and evenness observed during the following winter. We surveyed 45 sites over 2 years using multiple gears to assess fish assemblage characteristics. The data collected in Buffalo Chute provide some insight into how isolated side channels function during low flow periods.

T1 - Seismic deformation analysis of Tuttle Creek Dam. JO - Canadian Geotechnical Journal JF - Canadian Geotechnical Journal Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 49 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 323 EP - 343 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00083674 AB - To facilitate the design of seismic remediation for Tuttle Creek Dam in east central Kansas, a seismic finite difference analysis of the dam was performed using the software FLAC and the UBCSAND and UBCTOT soil constitutive models. The FLAC software has a key advantage because it can use calibrated site-specific constitutive models. Earlier deformation analyses using a hyperbolic constitutive model for the foundation fine-grained materials did not properly represent the modulus and strength reduction and predicted extremely large permanent deformations. Cyclic triaxial laboratory tests using high-quality samples and in situ vane shear tests were used to calibrate the FLAC constitutive model herein. The resulting FLAC analysis of the unremediated dam predicted an upstream slope toe deformation of about 0.6 m, a crest settlement of about 0.6 m, and a downstream slope toe deformation of about 1.5 m using the design ground motion. Based on the estimated permanent deformations and other factors, it was decided that the anticipated upstream slope and crest deformations were tolerable and only the downstream slope had to be remediated to protect the downstream seepage control system. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Dans le but d'assister la conception de la réhabilitation sismique du barrage de Tuttle Creek dans le centre est du Kansas, une analyse sismique du barrage par différence finie a été réalisée à l'aide du logiciel FLAC et des modèles constitutifs de sols UBCSAND et UBCTOT. Le logiciel FLAC est avantageux puisqu'il peut utiliser des modèles constitutifs calibrés pour un site spécifique. Des analyses antérieures faites avec un modèle constitutif hyperbolique pour des matériaux fins de fondation n'a pas pu représenter adéquatement la réduction du module et de la résistance et a prédit des déformations permanentes extrêmement grandes. Pour la présente étude, des essais triaxiaux cycliques en laboratoire avec des échantillons de qualité élevée et des essais scissométriques in situ ont été utilisés pour calibrer le modèle constitutif de FLAC. L'analyse par FLAC du barrage non réhabilité a prédit une déformation du pied de la pente en amont d'environ 0,6 m, un tassement de la crête d'environ 0,6 m, et une déformation du pied de la pente en aval d'environ 1,5 m, et ce, en utilisant les mouvements du sol de conception. Basé sur les déformations permanentes estimées et d'autres facteurs, il a été décidé que les déformations anticipées sur la pente en amont et sur la crête sont tolérables et que seulement la pente en aval doit être réhabilitée afin de protéger le système de contrôle des exfiltrations en aval.

T1 - NOAA's Rapid Response to the Howard A. Hanson Dam Flood Risk Management Crisis. JO - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society JF - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Y1 - 2012/02// VL - 93 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 207 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00030007 AB - The Howard A. Hanson Dam (HHD) has brought flood protection to Washington's Green River Valley for more than 40 years and opened the way for increased valley development near Seattle. However, following a record high level of water behind the dam in January 2009 and the discovery of elevated seepage through the dam's abutment, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers declared the dam 'unsafe.' NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and National Weather Service (NWS) worked together to respond rapidly to this crisis for the 2009/10 winter season, drawing from innovations developed in NWS offices and in NOAA's Hydrometeorology Test-bed (HMT). New data telemetry was added to 14 existing surface rain gauges, allowing the gauge data to be ingested into the NWS rainfall database. The NWS Seattle Weather Forecast Office produced customized daily forecasts, including longer-lead-time hydrologic outlooks and new decision support services tailored for emergency managers and the public, new capabilities enabled by specialized products from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and from HMT. The NOAA Physical Sciences Division (PSD) deployed a group of specialized instruments on the Washington coast and near the HHD that constituted two atmospheric river (AR) observatories (AROs) and conducted special HMT numerical model forecast runs. Atmospheric rivers are narrow corridors of enhanced water vapor transport in extratropical oceanic storms that can produce heavy orographic precipitation and anomalously high snow levels, and thus can trigger flooding. The AROs gave forecasters detailed vertical profile observations of AR conditions aloft, including monitoring of real-time water vapor transport and comparison with model runs.

JO - Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance JF - Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 5 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 167 EP - 182 PB - Intellect Ltd. SN - 17536421 AB - Charles Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839) is arguably the author's most melodramatic novel, as Dickens adopts the grandiloquence and histrionic hyperbole of Victorian melodrama. The narrator repeatedly defines the principal conflict between Nicholas and Ralph in melodramatic terms, and both of these characters (along with the helpless and noble-hearted heroines, Kate Nickleby and Madeline Bray) possess traits that were commonly found in the characters that populated the Victorian stage. Nevertheless, Dickens also satirizes the conventions of melodrama through his humorous depiction of the Crummles Theatre Company; Mr Crummles's wry observations about how to manipulate audience sympathies are humorously applicable to Dickens's narrator, and thus to Dickens himself. This dialectic between the genuinely melodramatic elements of the text and the pastiche of melodrama sets up the tensions that would define the most famous and acclaimed adaptation of Dickens's novel: The Royal Shakespeare Company's Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1980). This epic adaptation dramatizes the complete Dickensian text (including the narrator's narrative prose), but simultaneously eschews the conventions of Victorian melodrama in favour of modern and postmodern performance techniques. The musical score to the RSC adaptation epitomizes this contrast, for composer Stephen Oliver's score embraces the conventions of Victorian theatre music while simultaneously drawing attention to the absurdity of many of these conventions; although the primary purpose of Oliver's music is to provide melodramatic underscoring that reinforces the emotion of each scene, the composer likewise incorporates diegetic interludes and randomly placed songs that disrupt the continuity of the Dickensian narrative and draw the audience's attention to the 'falseness' of what is transpiring onstage. The sense of pastiche and Brechtian parody conveyed through songs such as 'Mrs. Grudden's Goodbye' and 'The Patriotic Song' further links the adaptation to its Dickensian source, as these pastiches, like the pastiches in Dickens's own text, are directly connected to the Crummles family.

Built on a ranch owned by Lieutenant John Lapham Bullis, the outpost protected a reliable water source today called Meyers Spring, and guarded both a new road to Fort Davis and the construction of a portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Established by a company of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the post was garrisoned by rotating companies of the 8th Cavalry and the Detachment of Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts. The diary of Lieutenant Francis Henry French, commanding the Detachment of Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts at Camp Mayers Spring, gives historians a very detailed, accurate, and colorful picture of life at the outpost.

Although there is a significant amount of research related to mentoring in the fields of education, nursing, business, and medical professions, there is a dearth of research on the implementation and effectiveness of mentoring programs in clinical psychology training programs, such as internships and postdoctoral fellowships (Green & Hawkley, 2009). Few, if any, studies have examined the feasibility and potential impact of developing mentoring programs in predoctoral and postdoctoral clinical psychology training sites. The current article seeks to address this gap in the literature by discussing the development and implementation of a mentoring program for clinical psychology postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral interns in a 1-year training program at a large Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The benefits of having a mentoring relationship that is independent of clinical supervision are discussed. Implications for mentoring in similar clinical training programs and considerations for developing a mentoring program will be discussed.

JO - Perceptual & Motor Skills JF - Perceptual & Motor Skills J1 - Perceptual & Motor Skills PY - 2015/04// Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 120 IS - 2 CP - 2 M3 - Article SP - 438 EP - 461 SN - 00315125 AB - Summary .— When navigating, people tend to overestimate distances when routes contain more turns, termed the route-angularity eff ect . Three experiments examined the source and generality of this eff ect. The fi rst two experiments examined whether route-angularity eff ects occur while viewing maps and might be related to sex diff erences or sense of direction. The third experiment tested whether the route-angularity eff ect would occur with stimuli devoid of spatial context, reducing infl uences of environmental experience and visual complexity. In the three experiments, participants ( N = 1,552; M = 32.2 yr.; 992 men, 560 women) viewed paths plotted on maps (Exps. 1 and 2) or against a blank background (Exp. 3). The depicted paths were always the same overall length, but varied in the number of turns (from 1 to 7) connecting an origin and destination. Participants were asked to estimate the time to traverse each path (Exp. 1) or the length of each path (Exps. 2 and 3). The Santa Barbara Sense of Direction questionnaire was administered to assess whether overall spatial sense of direction would be negatively related to the magnitude of the route-angularity eff ect. Repeated-measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) indicated that paths with more turns elicited estimates of greater distance and travel times, whether they were depicted on maps or blank backgrounds. Linear regressions also indicated that these eff ects were signifi cantly larger in those with a relatively low sense of direction. The results support the route-angularity eff ect and extend it to paths plotted on map-based stimuli. Furthermore, because the route-angularity eff ect was shown with paths plotted against blank backgrounds, route-angularity eff ects are not specifi c to understanding environments and may arise at the level of visual perception.

The fuel conversion, product selectivities, and reaction kinetics were calculated, and the global combustion behavior observed. The results showed that increasing the amount of m-xylene in the fuel increased the fuel conversion from 85% (pure dodecane) to 92% (90/10) and further to 98% (80/20). The presence of xylene also significantly increased CO 2 /H 2 O selectivity and decreased CO/H 2 selectivity. Global activation energy increased linearly with increase in xylene content, supporting that addition of aromatic species to fuel lowers the overall reactivity. The non-catalytic reaction was also simulated using Chemkin software to determine the effect of the Rh catalyst on the combustor performance and to analyze the difference in chemical mechanisms. The results revealed that the catalyst promotes total oxidation over partial oxidation, and lowers the global activation energy by up to 70%.

T1 - A rat model of nerve agent exposure applicable to the pediatric population: The anticonvulsant efficacies of atropine and GluK1 antagonists. JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2015/04/15/ VL - 284 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 204 EP - 216 SN - 0041008X AB - Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) after nerve agent exposure induces status epilepticus (SE), which causes brain damage or death. The development of countermeasures appropriate for the pediatric population requires testing of anticonvulsant treatments in immature animals. In the present study, exposure of 21-day-old (P21) rats to different doses of soman, followed by probit analysis, produced an LD 50 of 62 μg/kg. The onset of behaviorally-observed SE was accompanied by a dramatic decrease in brain AChE activity; rats who did not develop SE had significantly less reduction of AChE activity in the basolateral amygdala than rats who developed SE. Atropine sulfate (ATS) at 2 mg/kg, administered 20 min after soman exposure (1.2 × LD 50 ), terminated seizures. ATS at 0.5 mg/kg, given along with an oxime within 1 min after exposure, allowed testing of anticonvulsants at delayed time-points. The AMPA/GluK1 receptor antagonist LY293558, or the specific GluK1 antagonist UBP302, administered 1 h post-exposure, terminated SE. There were no degenerating neurons in soman-exposed P21 rats, but both the amygdala and the hippocampus were smaller than in control rats at 30 and 90 days post-exposure; this pathology was not present in rats treated with LY293558. Behavioral deficits present at 30 days post-exposure, were also prevented by LY293558 treatment. Thus, in immature animals, a single injection of atropine is sufficient to halt nerve agent-induced seizures, if administered timely. Testing anticonvulsants at delayed time-points requires early administration of ATS at a low dose, sufficient to counteract only peripheral toxicity. LY293558 administered 1 h post-exposure, prevents brain pathology and behavioral deficits.

JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 511 M3 - Article SP - 309 EP - 318 SN - 00489697 AB - Dredging to maintain navigable waterways is important for supporting trade and economic sustainability. Dredged sediments are removed from the waterways and then must be managed in a way that meets regulatory standards and properly balances management costs and risks. Selection of a best management alternative often results in stakeholder conflict regarding tradeoffs between local environmental impacts associated with less expensive alternatives (e.g., open water placement), more expensive measures that require sediment disposal in constructed facilities far away (e.g., landfills), or beneficial uses that may be perceived as risky (e.g., beach nourishment or island creation). Current sediment-placement decisions often focus on local and immediate environmental effects from the sediment itself, ignoring a variety of distributed and long-term effects from transportation and placement activities. These extended effects have implications for climate change, resource consumption, and environmental and human health, which may be meaningful topics for many stakeholders not currently considered. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a systematic and quantitative method for accounting for this wider range of impacts and benefits across all sediment management project stages and time horizons. This paper applies a cradle-to-use LCA to dredged-sediment placement through a comparative analysis of potential upland, open water, and containment-island placement alternatives in the Long Island Sound region of NY/CT. Results suggest that, in cases dealing with uncontaminated sediments, upland placement may be the most environmentally burdensome alternative, per ton-kilometer of placed material, due to the emissions associated with diesel fuel combustion and electricity production and consumption required for the extra handling and transportation. These results can be traded-off with the ecosystem impacts of the sediments themselves in a decision-making framework.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2498 EP - 2514 SN - 00431397 AB - This work advances a unified approach to process-based hydrologic modeling to enable controlled and systematic evaluation of multiple model representations (hypotheses) of hydrologic processes and scaling behavior. Our approach, which we term the Structure for Unifying Multiple Modeling Alternatives (SUMMA), formulates a general set of conservation equations, providing the flexibility to experiment with different spatial representations, different flux parameterizations, different model parameter values, and different time stepping schemes. In this paper, we introduce the general approach used in SUMMA, detailing the spatial organization and model simplifications, and how different representations of multiple physical processes can be combined within a single modeling framework. We discuss how SUMMA can be used to systematically pursue the method of multiple working hypotheses in hydrology. In particular, we discuss how SUMMA can help tackle major hydrologic modeling challenges, including defining the appropriate complexity of a model, selecting among competing flux parameterizations, representing spatial variability across a hierarchy of scales, identifying potential improvements in computational efficiency and numerical accuracy as part of the numerical solver, and improving understanding of the various sources of model uncertainty.

For the apparent special case of CWA on concrete, H2O2 alone, without any additives, effectively decontaminates S-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX), pinacolyl methylphosphorofluoridate (GD), and bis(2-choroethyl) sulfide (HD) in a process thought to involve H2O2 activation by surface-bound carbonates/bicarbonates (known H2O2 activators for CWA decontamination). A plethora of products are formed during the H2O2 decontamination of HD on concrete, and these are characterized by comparison to synthesized authentic compounds. As a potential residue-free decontaminant for surfaces other than concrete (or those lacking adsorbed carbonate/bicarbonate) H2O2 activation for CWA decontamination is feasible using residue-free NH3 and CO2 as demonstrated by reaction studies for VX, GD, and HD in homogeneous solution. Although H2O2/NH3/CO2 ("HPAC") decontaminants are active for CWA decontamination in solution, they require testing on actual surfaces of interest to assess their true efficacy for surface decontamination.

PM 2.5 , PM 10 , metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), energetics, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were characterized from 121 trials of three different munitions (Composition B (hereafter, “Comp B”), V453, V548), 152 trials of five different propellants (M31A1E1, M26, SPCF, Arc 451, 452A), and 12 trials with static firing of ammonium perchlorate-containing Sparrow rocket motors. Sampling was conducted with operational charge sizes and under open area conditions to determine emission levels representative of actual disposal practices. The successful application of the tethered aerostat and sampling instruments demonstrated the ability to sample for and determine the first ever emission factors for static firing of rocket motors and buried and metal-cased OD, as well as the first measurements of PM 2.5 for OB and for surface OD.

Efforts to understand the drivers behind the expanding colonization of Z. japonica have led to interest in the biology and ecology of this species. In most locations where they co-occur, these species exhibit a disjunct vertical zonation. We experimentally consider the influence of pulsed temperature effects on Z. japonica growth as a driver of vertical zonation. In mesocosm tanks seagrass planting units were cycled from ambient to treatment temperatures (8, 20, 32 °C) of variable duration (2, 6, 12, 24 h) each day for 10 d and then growth was assessed. Leaf elongation and growth rates exhibited strong, statistically significant relationships with increasing duration of exposure to 20 °C. Plants exposed to continuous 20 °C temperatures grew 2.5 times faster than plants exposed to 20 °C for 2 h. Likewise, plants exposed to continuous 8 °C temperatures grew 2.5 times slower than plants at 8 °C for 2 h. Plants exposed to 32 °C maintained fairly constant growth and elongation rates regardless of the duration of exposure. Field data indicate that Z. japonica and Z. marina experience different thermal regimes in the same estuary. We suggest that intertidal zonation patterns of Z. japonica in North America are predominantly driven by seagrass temperature responses; increased duration of exposure to cold water temperatures appears to limit expansion of the Z. japonica bed lower boundary to the mid-intertidal. Additionally, we recognize characteristics that may be useful to identifying systems susceptible to colonization.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 301 EP - 315 SN - 15287394 AB - Fish gill is the site for many crucial physiological functions. It is among the first sites of xenobiotic exposure, and gill histopathological alterations may be detected soon after toxicant exposure. Silver (Ag) is one of the most toxic metals to aquatic organisms mainly due to its ability to disrupt ionic regulation. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of ionic and nanoscale Ag on fathead minnow gills by examining gill histology and Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity. Fathead minnows were exposed to two measured concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3: 1.3 or 3.7 μg/L as Ag+), citrate silver nanoparticles (citrate-AgNP: 15 or 39 μg/L), and polyvinylpyrrolidone-AgNP (PVP-AgNP) (AgNP: 11 or 50 μg/L). Circulatory disturbances were the most prevalent gill alterations detected and were significantly increased in all Ag treatment groups compared to control. AgNO3(1.3 μg/L) was the only treatment that significantly elevated the number of total mucous goblet cells present. In all other Ag treatments, the percent of degenerated goblet cells was significantly increased compared to control. When the sum of all histopathological abnormalities (weighted index) was calculated, all Ag groups displayed a significantly higher index, with citrate-AgNP having the highest toxicity (index of 10 ± 0.32 versus 2.4 ± 0.6 in controls). Gill Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity was decreased by Ag. These results indicated that both AgNO3and AgNP created similar disruptions in gill structure and ionic regulation, possibly due to the ionic Ag portion of each treatment.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1514 EP - 1528 SN - 00431397 AB - We have developed a one-dimensional numerical method to simulate infiltration and redistribution in the presence of a shallow dynamic water table. This method builds upon the Green-Ampt infiltration with Redistribution (GAR) model and incorporates features from the Talbot-Ogden (T-O) infiltration and redistribution method in a discretized moisture content domain. The redistribution scheme is more physically meaningful than the capillary weighted redistribution scheme in the T-O method. Groundwater dynamics are considered in this new method instead of hydrostatic groundwater front. It is also computationally more efficient than the T-O method. Motion of water in the vadose zone due to infiltration, redistribution, and interactions with capillary groundwater are described by ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions to these equations are computationally less expensive than solutions of the highly nonlinear Richards' (1931) partial differential equation. We present results from numerical tests on 11 soil types using multiple rain pulses with different boundary conditions, with and without a shallow water table and compare against the numerical solution of Richards' equation (RE). Results from the new method are in satisfactory agreement with RE solutions in term of ponding time, deponding time, infiltration rate, and cumulative infiltrated depth. The new method, which we call 'GARTO' can be used as an alternative to the RE for 1-D coupled surface and groundwater models in general situations with homogeneous soils with dynamic water table. The GARTO method represents a significant advance in simulating groundwater surface water interactions because it very closely matches the RE solution while being computationally efficient, with guaranteed mass conservation, and no stability limitations that can affect RE solvers in the case of a near-surface water table.

In some cases, operational time limitations do not allow for the construction of paved surfaces to establish airfield operations. The original flexible pavement design procedure for paved surfaces, which is based on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and the -factor (Alpha-factor), was extended and applied to the design and evaluation of aggregate-surfaced pavements. With the reformulation of the CBR-Alpha for the design of flexible pavements, efforts were also directed at defining a new equation for the design of aggregate-surfaced airfields. This paper focuses on the development of a new CBR-Beta procedure for the design and evaluation of aggregate-surfaced airfields. Data from previous studies conducted on aggregate-surfaced full-scale test sections were used for this purpose. The new performance curve proposed in this paper for aggregate-surfaced airfields has the same format as the equation that was proposed and accepted for flexible pavements.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 41 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 87 EP - 98 SN - 03801330 AB - In 1900, the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) was opened to reverse the flow of the Chicago River and divert wastewater away from Lake Michigan and toward the Mississippi River. This reversal has been a public health success, but the CSSC and other components of the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) have become conduits for invasive species to move between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. The Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study evaluated methods to prevent the migration of invasive species between the basins. The DUFLOW model was adapted to simulate water quality in the CAWS. This model is used to simulate conditions in the CAWS for the No Project (NP), Lakefront Separation (LS), and Midsystem Separation (MS) alternatives. Three representative water years (wet year, dry year, and normal year) are considered to compare the dissolved oxygen (DO) results and pollutant loads to Lake Michigan for the alternatives. The LS alternative results in large increases in noncompliance with DO standards with increases greater than 1000 h for several locations. The MS alternative results in large increases in noncompliance with DO standards in the waterways made stagnant by the placement of barriers with the Calumet-Sag Channel experiencing increases greater than 1000 h for nearly all locations evaluated. The loads to Lake Michigan for the MS alternative are greatly increased compared to the NP alternative with even the dry year modeled yielding loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and chloride, 5.7, 0.73, and 150 million kg, respectively.

JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2015/02/10/ VL - 297 M3 - Case Study SP - 213 EP - 231 SN - 03043800 AB - Current CE-QUAL-W2 mainly simulates hydrodynamics and eutrophication processes in the water column. The benthic sediment processes and sediment–water interactions have been neglected or very much simplified using zero-order and first-order rates. In this study a benthic sediment diagenesis module was developed and integrated into CE-QUAL-W2. Enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 was capable of simulating the dynamic releases of ammonium, nitrate, phosphorus, dissolved silica and dissolved methane from the sediment to the overlying water, as well as benthic sediment oxygen demand. The oxidation of sulfides is included for salt water sediments. The ability of CE-QUAL-W2 model to correctly predict sediment–water nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demand was evaluated against SedFlux and CE-QUAL-ICM models through a series of case studies. These case studies were chosen for representing various sedimentation and environmental conditions. The simulated sediment–water nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demand over time were generally in good agreement with these two model results for all data sets. The effect of benthic sediment diffusive thickness, particle mixing coefficients on nutrient releases from sediments and sediment oxygen demand were examined. Enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 model was also applied to the Lower Minnesota River for further evaluating its performance. This paper presents the sediment diagenesis module development, validation tests and application of the enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 model.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 35 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 85 SN - 02755947 AB - Shallow-water habitat is hypothesized to provide nursery habitat for young fish. The construction of side-channel chutes to restore shallow-water habitat is common in the lower Missouri River; however, a recent adaptive management strategy document (developed by a multiagency, multidiscipline team), as well as previous research, has suggested that the accessibility of chutes to age-0Scaphirhynchusspp. (sturgeon hereafter) may be limited. Access is a critical prerequisite for young fish utilizing chute habitat; thus, we investigated chute-specific accessibility for age-0 sturgeon at seven chutes (constructed and natural). Age-0 sturgeon were capable of accessing most chutes; however, accessibility appeared limited at sites with highly restrictive inlet structures. Our results suggest that future consideration of chute inlet designs that meet authorized Missouri River purposes while providing improved fish access is warranted. Additionally, capture sites for exogenously feeding age-0 sturgeon were usually deeper (>1.5 m) and faster (>0.5 m/s) than sites without sturgeon in chute and adjacent main-stem habitats. This finding is consistent with previous research that suggests that slow and shallow habitats may not be used by age-0 sturgeon as frequently as other habitat types in the lower Missouri River.

JO - Corrosion JF - Corrosion Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 71 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 209 EP - 223 SN - 00109312 AB - Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study water dissociation on the Mg(0001) surface. The metal/water interface was modeled with a supercell approach, consisting of an extended metal surface coupled to an implicit solvent medium. Several electrochemical reactions were studied on the Mg surface, and it was found that dissociation of adsorbed water is thermodynamically favorable, and that the Mg(0001) surface has multiple 'active sites' that can accommodate adsorbed hydroxyl groups (*OH). This is similar to previous first principles findings of oxygen adsorption on Mg(0001). It was also found that the local structure of an adsorbed hydroxyl monolayer mimics that of the crystal structure of brucite, Mg(OH)2. Lastly, DFT-calculated reaction enthalpies were used to reproduce the bulk Mg Pourbaix diagram, and Pourbaix's formalism was extended to develop a theoretical Mg surface Pourbaix diagram. From this, it was shown that the enthalpy of hydroxylation of Mg(0001) becomes more negative with increasing surface coverage of *OH groups. This indicates that the presence of adsorbed *OH species provides an energetic driving force for water dissociation on Mg(0001). Furthermore, the corrosive region of the Mg Pourbaix diagram can be suppressed if *OH adsorption is limited to certain low-energy active sites, where they form a stable hydroxide surface.

The design of the building envelope is the most lasting feature affecting the energy use of a hospital, due to its service-life typically equaling the life of the facility. Recent developments in sustainability and evidence-based design (EBD) have created additional requirements for the design and construction of facilities. This study investigates the impact that design interventions supported by EBD and energy code compliance may have on the building envelope, and their consequence for the energy consumption of Military Health System facilities. Energy simulations were conducted using eQUEST software on two casestudy facilities. The analysis demonstrates that various EBD design measures, such as increased use of views and daylighting, appear to be in conflict with certain goals of energy design. Yet, their impact on energy consumption may be limited compared to the potential savings that can be achieved from proper design of the mechanical systems. The use of energy simulation software and early design collaboration between multiple professional disciplines is recognized as critical to achieve optimal design solutions.

These challenges span from changes in climate patterns to increased environmental concerns, greater coastal population densities and associated infrastructure, and limited budgets. One way to mitigate these issues is the concept of resilience. In 2013, the Coastal Engineering Research Board (CERB) began to define resilience and understand its relation to coastal water infrastructure needs. This work was a step forward in facilitating the USACE's integration of resilience into coastal engineering assessment and project design. The CERB has defined resilience using the four concepts of 'prepare,' 'resist,' 'recover,' and 'adapt.' These four concepts are utilized in a system-wide approach that encompasses not only water resource engineered infrastructure (that the USACE builds and manages), but also considers community and ecological infrastructure. Using this framework and literature from previous federal and academic studies, three methods were developed that incorporate different levels of expert and data-driven assessment. Two of these methods, herein named Tier 1 and Tier 3, were tested in a pilot study in Jamaica Bay, NY. Building off of the results from Jamaica Bay, Tier 1 is being refined and Tier 2 is in development.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 35 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 228 SN - 21945403 AB - The US government has focused considerable attention on enhancing our society's ability to protect critical systems and services from disruptive events. Over the past decade, federal agencies have bolstered their efforts to identify and minimize threats using traditional risk-based approaches such as continuity of operations and disaster risk reduction processes. However, these valuable risk identification and management tools are limited because they rely upon foreseeable factor analyses of steady-state systems with predictable hazard frequencies and severities. In assessing the capability of complex adaptive systems to cope with disruptions, an overemphasis upon engineering resilience through risk management and planning for what is predictable may cloud or detract from our efforts to better understand a system's emergent capabilities to withstand disruptions that are unforeseeable. This article contends that augmenting traditional risk approaches through the incorporation of methodologies grounded in socio-ecological system (SES) resilience principles offers a potential avenue for improving our agencies' abilities to assess and manage both known and unknown risks. We offer a notional rationale for broadening our examination of system vulnerabilities and present a conceptual model that combines engineering and SES resilience paradigms to facilitate the identification, assessment, and management of system vulnerabilities. The Military Installation Resilience Assessment model described herein applies risk and resilience principles to evaluate whole systems, focusing on interconnections and their functionality in facilitating response and adaptation.

While these documents call for resilience improvements, no guiding framework for the assessment of resilience exists. Federal agencies are then deriving individual ways to address resilience, resulting in a series of parallel efforts instead of one national cohesive effort. This paper summarizes the portfolio of current efforts implemented by agencies to guide the integration of resilience assessment across the federal government. We present a critical overview on the state of resilience science within seven federal agencies and our perspective on the consistencies and disparities on how each agency is enacting presidential orders. The resulting analysis identifies differences in approaches to resilience and common ground upon which federal agencies can use to support more effective programs.

This paper provides a management perspective on the technical presentations presented at the workshop, identifying information of particular interest to Everglades restoration decision-making. In addition, the paper highlights the points related to science and decision-making that emerged from the discussion sessions and provides thoughts for future discussion in a follow-up forum. Particular focus is dedicated to the importance of and challenges associated with integrating science and decision-making. In addition, the paper offers a management perspective on the uncertainties of climate science and the implications they have for influencing Everglades restoration decision-making. The authors propose that on the one hand, even given uncertainties associated with predicting the ecological response to climate change, there remains a scientific consensus that Everglades restoration is generally on the right track. On the other hand, uncertainty can be a significant barrier to climate science influencing the implementation of restoration and adaptive management programs.

Contributing factors like device location and background noise have been explored, but little attention has been paid to the role of individual user differences. Because BC signals travel through an individual's skull and facial tissues, demographic factors such as user age, sex, race, or regional origin may influence sound transmission. Vocal traits such as pitch, spectral tilt, jitter, and shimmer may also play a role. Along with microphone placement and background noise, these factors can affect BC speech intelligibility. Eight diverse talkers were recorded with bone microphones on two different skull locations and in different background noise conditions. Twenty-four diverse listeners listened to these samples over BC and completed Modified Rhyme Tests for speech intelligibility. Forehead bone recordings were more intelligible than condyle recordings. In condyle recordings, female talkers, talkers with high fundamental frequency, and talkers in background noise were understood better, as were communications between talkers and listeners of the same regional origin. Listeners' individual traits had no significant effects. Thoughtful application of this knowledge can help improve BC communication for diverse users.

AB - For over a decade, moral psychologists have been actively researching the processes underlying moral judgments that are made intuitively without reference to an action’s concrete harms or injustice, such as the well-known case of nonprocreative, consensual incest. We suggest that the reason some judge such scenarios as wrong (using intuitive feelings) and others do not (using deliberative reasons) is due to an important motivational distinction. Consistent with this view, across 7 studies, we demonstrate that negative judgments of such moral scenarios are more intense when processed in the promotion focus compared to the prevention focus, and that this is due to differences in whether eager (intuitive feelings) versus vigilant (deliberative reasons) means are employed in judging these moral wrongs. By examining both boundary conditions and possible underlying mechanisms for regulatory focus differences in moral judgment intensity, we expand our understanding of the differences between promotion and prevention regarding how proscriptive judgments are processed, while integrating these differences with existing theories in moral psychology.

While research has documented the ability to reliably measure trunk muscles in patients with back pain, no study to date has used RUSI to quantify infraspinatus muscle function in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of measuring infraspinatus muscle thickness with RUSI and to compare such measures during resting versus contracted muscle states and in the symptomatic versus asymptomatic shoulders in patients with SIS. Study Design: Cross-sectional, measurement study Methods: Fifty-two participants with unilateral SIS underwent a standard baseline examination to include RUSI of the infraspinatus muscle bilaterally. Images were acquired at rest and during a submaximal isometric contraction, by two novice examiners. The isometric contraction was elicited by having prone participants externally rotate their shoulder from a position of 90° abduction into a dynamometer and hold a static force of 20 mmHg (approximately 20-30% maximal voluntary contraction). Images were captured using a standardized placement of the transducer placed just inferior to the spine of the scapula along the medial scapular border and measured off-line using Image J software (V1.38t, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland). Results: Estimates (ICCs) for thickness measurements ranged between 0.96 and 0.98 for intra-rater reliability and between 0.87 and 0.92 for inter-rater reliability. Reliability was substantially lower (ICC = 0.43 to 0.79) for calculations of percent thickness change. The infraspinatus muscle was significantly thicker when contracted (19.1mm) than during rest (16.2mm) in both shoulders (p < 0.001). There was also a statistically significant interaction between contraction state and shoulder (p = 0.026), indicating that the change in thickness that occurred during contraction was significantly smaller in the symptomatic shoulder than in the asymptomatic shoulder. Conclusion: RUSI measurements of infraspinatus muscle thickness appear to be highly reliable, both within the same examiner and between different examiners, in patients with SIS. Moreover, such measurements were different in rested and contracted states of the infraspinatus, as well as, between the symptomatic and asymptomatic shoulders of patients with unilateral SIS.

The effects of low-level blast exposure on high-contrast visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, oculomotor function, color vision, visual field (VF), pupillary light reflex, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cup-to-disc ratio were assessed using a battery of standard clinical ophthalmic tests administered 10 times over a 2-year period. Data from nine male breacher instructors (Cadre) were compared with data from four male breacher engineers (Control). The Cadre group showed higher vertical deviation at near than the Control group over time. The VF mean deviation on the left eye tended to be worse in the Cadre group throughout the study, suggesting a decrease in VF sensitivity (Cadre: -0.20 +/- 0.15 dB; Control: 1.05 +/- 0.15 dB; p = 0.03). The Cadre group had a reduced ECD (right eye: Cadre 2,478 cells/mm² vs Control 2,808 cells/ mm², p = 0.02; left eye: Cadre 2,562 cells/mm² vs Control 2,892 cells/mm², p = 0.03). These results suggest that even low-level primary blast has the potential to produce occult eye injury.

The layers exhibit a dense microstructure with a low density of surface defects and macroparticles. The tribological properties were evaluated with dry ball-on-disk sliding tests against an alumina counterface at room temperature. The CrN monolayer exhibits a coefficient of friction, µ = 0.28 ± 0.02, while CrN/SiC and CrN/DLC duplex layers both demonstrate much lower µ = 0.07 ± 0.01. The wear rates of the coatings were very low and measured as 0.53, 0.73, and 0.79 µm3/Nm, respectively, for CrN, CrN/DLC, and CrN/SiC. Corrosion resistance was evaluated in both cyclical environmental testing as well as quantitatively via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance in both cases is compared to standard electroless Ni and electroplated Cr coatings. The highest level of corrosion resistance was observed for the CrN monolayer and CrN/SiC duplex layer. Both exhibit improved corrosion resistance over electroless Ni and electroplated Cr coatings. This high level of corrosion resistance is remarkable for physical vapor deposited thin nitride layers. The arc plasma acceleration deposited materials show great promise for applications in which a combination of low friction, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are required.

Thus, I will explore a consequentialist argument against the use of private security contractors (PSCs) in counterinsurgencies. Discussing the benefits and costs of employing PSCs in these kinds of operations will demonstrate that the hiring of PSCs in many cases (perhaps in most) is consequentially unsound. More precisely, the overall negative consequences of hiring PSCs during counterinsurgencies should preclude their use unless in extreme emergencies. Defenders of the use of PSCs readily point to their financial benefits and expected increase in efficiency as the starting point for their argumentation. On my account, if the benefits really do outweigh the foreseeable and expected costs, then hiring PSCs may, in that case, be a morally viable option. However, I contend that, unless we institute broad contractual control and oversight reform, unless we truly understand the costs and benefits, we should have a standing, prima facie prohibition against employing PSCs in counterinsurgencies.

These deformations become apparent when the motion associated with uniform strain is subtracted from the total particle motion. Besides presenting an interesting phenomenon that begs explanation, these vortex patterns suggest multiscale structure for nonaffine motion as suggested by modern continuum theories. Further, the authors note that the rotational velocity field added to a uniform strain field produces a planar slip field. Thus, these structures are associated with the slip-band fields that eventually form, which are generally associated with bifurcations in the solution path of the governing partial differential equations. The authors present a procedure to extract these motion fields from discrete-element simulations along with conjugate forces associated with these motions. A key finding from the simulations is that the motions that eventually lead to shear band formation develop throughout the loading history rather than arising as a distinct bifurcation. Further, the pattern of rotational fields, and hence the shear banding pattern, are controlled by the boundary conditions. A question, only partly resolved here, is the origin of forces driving the rotational fields.

For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

The benefits and burdens of modularity are considered by studying historical programs dating back to World War II. Using a taxonomy developed at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, vehicles were considered based on horizontal modularity, vertical modularity, and distributed modularity. Examples were given for each type, including the most extensive attempt at horizontal modularity in the 1980s, known as the Armored Family of Vehicles. Following these examples, various cost/benefit studies over the life cycle of the vehicle are reviewed with differing conclusions depending on the initial assumptions. Finally, a number of design factors are included that should be considered in any program on modular vehicles, as well as some recent initiatives that guide the path forward.

In this study, the interface cohesive response is estimated using a nanoscale interface finite element model that explicitly includes the effects of fiber surface topography and the interphase region. The interphase behavior in the nanoscale interface model is calibrated using indirect experimental data. Once calibrated, the fiber surface topography in the nanoscale interface model is modified in order to estimate the parameters defining the surface-based cohesive behavior of similar fiber–matrix systems with different fiber topography. The effect of altering the fiber topography on the force response of the microdroplet test can then be predicted by the microdroplet FE model. Comparing the simulation results with experimental data from the literature shows that this multiscale modeling approach gives accurate predictions for the interfacial shear stress.

However, browning during storage was reducing the shelf life. Pear pouches were subjected to complete headspace removal and rotation during retorting for extended shelf life of 45 days at 48.9C. The pears were tested for browning, ascorbic acid and headspace composition during storage. A combination of complete headspace removal and rotation of pouches during retorting increased the acceptability of pear by decreasing ascorbic acid degradation and browning. Aerobic and anaerobic ascorbic acid degradation reactions took place in the pears, with most of the aerobic degradation beginning during retorting. A lag period of several days between different stages of ascorbic acid degradation was detected. Finally, the ascorbic acid loss followed zero-order kinetics, with a reaction rate dependent on the initial concentration.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 52 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 36 EP - 41 SN - 01636804 AB - The proliferation of smart phones with sensing capabilities motivates exploring the applicability limits of (phone-based) mobile sensing. While a phone can directly measure variables such as location, acceleration, and orientation, other interesting quantities one may want to measure have higher-level semantics that a phone does not directly recognize. For example, one might want to map parking lots that are free after hours, or restaurants that are popular after midnight. How can we measure such higher-level logical quantities using sensors on phones? Techniques that address this question fall in the broad area of surrogate sensing, defined as inferring high-level logical quantities by measuring weaker surrogates. The surrogates in question are variables that can be sensed using a phone, but are only weakly related to the original high-level logical quantities one is really after. The key challenge is to exploit appropriate aggregation techniques that leverage the availability of large numbers of phones to overcome the poor quality of individual surrogates. Recently, significant advances have been made in understanding the quality limits of surrogate sensing. This article overviews the main ideas and insights underlying these advances.

The magazine is not, despite appearances, primarily designed for direct recruiting efforts or inciting violence against the West. In fact, the primary audiences of Dabiq are English-speaking second generation Muslims or converts, Western policymakers, and a third group of current or would-be members of ISIS who are not integrating with the organization itself. The third audience—those members who are failing to function within the organization—is strange to include in an English-language magazine. Why publish organizational weaknesses, in English? One possibility for this puzzle is that the fundamentalist hermeneutics of ISIS is reflected in their own media efforts. One of the assumptions that ISIS holds about their sacred texts is that each text carries a single meaning that reflects the author's original intent. There might be multiple applications of that intent, but each text can only have one intent, and therefore one meaning. Following this logic, a message meant for one person is unlikely to be of utility for another, and so this may be why ISIS exposes their weaknesses as part of the process of correcting their own members.

National Safety Council and Elsevier Ltd. 2016. AB - Introduction: Many non-battle injuries among deployed soldiers are due to occupational-related tasks. Given that non-battle injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, occupational safety and health are of great concern to the military. Some of the leading causes of non-battle injuries in the military are also common in nonmilitary occupational settings. Nationally, falls and motor-vehicle accidents are leading causes of non-fatal occupational injuries in the civilian workforce. The objective of this research is to identify the leading causes, types, and anatomic locations of non-fatal non-battle injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq. Methods: Non-battle injuries were identified from medical air evacuation records. Causes of air evacuated injuries were identified and coded using the diagnosis and narrative patient history in the air evacuation records. Descriptive statistics were used to report the air evacuated non-battle injury rates, causes, injury types, and anatomic locations. Results: Between 2001 and 2013, there were 68,349 medical air evacuations from Afghanistan and Iraq. Non-battle injuries accounted for 31% of air evacuations from Afghanistan and 34% from Iraq. These injuries were the leading diagnosis category for air evacuations. The three leading causes of injury for Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, were sports/physical training (23% and 24%), falls/jumps (19% and 16%), and military vehicle-related accidents (8% and 11%). The leading injury types were fractures (21%), overuse pain and inflammation (16%), and dislocations (11%). Practical applications: Given that over 30% of medical evacuations of soldiers result from non-battle injuries, prevention of such conditions would substantially enhance military readiness during combat.

AB - Associative learning is an essential feature of human cognition, accounting for the influence of priming and interference effects on memory recall. Here, we extend our account of associative learning that learns asymmetric item‐to‐item associations over time via experience (Thomson, Pyke, Trafton, & Hiatt, 2015) by including link maturation to balance associations between longer‐term stability while still accounting for short‐term variability. This account, combined with an existing account of activation strengthening and decay, predicts both human response times and error rates for the fan effect (Anderson, 1974; Anderson & Reder, 1999) for both target and foil stimuli.

AB - Over two million United States military service members have served in the theaters of Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Many of these military service members are seeking employment in law enforcement upon discharge from active duty. The skills acquired from military service are complementary to many of the essential job functions of a law enforcement officer, thus a natural fit. In addition, military reserve police officers have seen activations for deployment to combat regions. These National Guard and Reserve service members make a rapid transition from military fatigues to a police uniform upon their return from deployment. After outlining the scope of the military deployment cycle, reintegration programs and preemployment assessment challenges are described in this chapter. The comprehensive description will provide psychologists working with law enforcement and related public safety agencies the necessary tools for both assessing and supporting the success of those reintegrating to their law enforcement careers.

Personality data from 4763 Army recruits were used to create personality profiles or classes, which were then linked with supervisor's job performance ratings of discipline and effort as well as 24- and 48-month attrition. The latent profile analyses identified 5 personality profiles/classes, 3 of which (i.e., Resilient, Overcontrolled, Undercontrolled) have been commonly found in previous person-centered studies of personality. The results indicated that the Resilient class had significantly higher discipline ratings and significantly lower attrition than the Overcontrolled and Undercontrolled classes. Using the person-centered approach, the results showed that the classes developed using a relatively new personality measure and latent profile analysis predicted significant differences on important work outcomes such as performance ratings and attrition. Applied implications and future research directions are discussed.

Ebola virus (EBOV) genomes assembled from blood samples from the patient and a semen sample from the survivor were consistent with direct transmission. The genomes shared three substitutions that were absent from all other Western African EBOV sequences and that were distinct from the last documented transmission chain in Liberia before this case. Combined with epidemiologic data, the genomic analysis provides evidence of sexual transmission of EBOV and evidence of the persistence of infective EBOV in semen for 179 days or more after the onset of EVD.

AB - Objective: This study assessed listeners' ability to localize spatially differentiated virtual audio signals delivered by bone conduction (BC) vibrators and circumaural air conduction (AC) headphones.Background: Although the skull offers little intracranial sound wave attenuation, previous studies have demonstrated listeners' ability to localize auditory signals delivered by a pair of BC vibrators coupled to the mandibular condyle bones. The current study extended this research to other BC vibrator locations on the skull.Method: Each participant listened to virtual audio signals originating from 16 different horizontal locations using circumaural headphones or BC vibrators placed in front of, above, or behind the listener's ears. The listener's task was to indicate the signal's perceived direction of origin.Results: Localization accuracy with the BC front and BC top positions was comparable to that with the headphones, but responses for the BC back position were less accurate than both the headphones and BC front position.Conclusion: This study supports the conclusion of previous studies that listeners can localize virtual 3D signals equally well using AC and BC transducers. Based on these results, it is apparent that BC devices could be substituted for AC headphones with little to no localization performance degradation.Application: BC headphones can be used when spatial auditory information needs to be delivered without occluding the ears. Although vibrator placement in front of the ears appears optimal from the localization standpoint, the top or back position may be acceptable from an operational standpoint or if the BC system is integrated into headgear.

AB - Background: To date, there are no reviews on machine learning (ML) in burn care. Considering the growth of ML in medicine and the complexities and challenges of burn care, this review specializes on ML applications in burn care. The objective was to examine the features and impact of applications in targeting various aspects of burn care and research.Methods: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ScienceDirect, and citation review of relevant primary and review articles were searched for studies involving burn care/research and machine learning. Data were abstracted on study design, study size, year, population, application of burn care/research, ML technique(s), and algorithm performance.Results: 15 retrospective observational studies involving burn patients met inclusion criteria. In total 5105 patients with acute thermal injury, 171 clinical burn wounds, 180 9-mer peptides, and 424 12-mer peptides were included in the studies. Studies focused on burn diagnosis (n=5), aminoglycoside response (n=3), hospital length of stay (n=2), survival/mortality (n=4), burn healing time (n=1), and antimicrobial peptides in burn patients (n=1). Of these 15 studies, 11 used artificial neural networks. Importantly, all studies demonstrated the benefits of ML in burn care/research and superior performance over traditional statistical methods. However, algorithm performance was assessed differently by different authors. Feature selection varied among studies, but studies with similar applications shared specific features including age, gender, presence of inhalation injury, total body surface area burned, and when available, various degrees of burns, infections, and previous histories/conditions of burn patients.Conclusion: A common feature base may be determined for ML in burn care/research, but the impact of ML will require further validation in prospective observational studies and randomized clinical trials, establishment of common performance metrics, and high quality evidence about clinical and economic impacts.

AB - Introduction: Cutaneous allograft is commonly used in the early coverage of excised burns when autograft is unavailable. However, allograft is also applied in intermediate-extent burns (25-50%), during cases in which it is possible to autograft. In this population, there is a paucity of data on the indications for allograft use. This study explores the indications for allograft usage in moderate size burns.Methods: Under an IRB-approved protocol, patients admitted to our burn unit between March 2003 and December 2010 were identified through a review of the burn registry. Data on allograft use, total burn surface area, operation performed, operative intent, number of operations, intensive care unit length of stay, and overall length of stay were collected and analyzed. Data are presented as means±standard deviations, except where noted.Results: In the study period, 146 patients received allograft during their acute hospitalization. Twenty-five percent of allograft recipients sustained intermediate-extent burns. Patients with intermediate-extent burns received allograft later in their hospitalization than those with large-extent (50-75% TBSA) burns (6.8 days vs. 3.4 days, p=0.01). Allografted patients with intermediate-extent burns underwent more operations (10.8 vs. 6.1, p=0.002) and had longer hospitalizations (78.3 days vs. 40.9 days, p<0.001) than non-allografted patients, when controlled for TBSA. Clinical rationale for placement of allograft in this population included autograft failure, uncertain depth of excision, lack of autograft donor site, and wound complexity. When uncertain depth of excision was the indication, allograft was universally applied onto the face. In half of allografted intermediate-extent burn patients the inability to identify a viable recipient bed was the ultimate reason for allograft use.Conclusions: Unlike large body surface area burns, allograft skin use in intermediate-extent injury occurs later in the hospitalization and is driven by the inability to determine wound bed suitability for autograft application. Allograft application can be utilized to test recipient site viability in cases of autograft failure or uncertain depth of excision.

AB - Objective: Threat monitoring facilitates survival by allowing one to efficiently and accurately detect potential threats. Traumatic events can disrupt healthy threat monitoring, inducing biased and unstable threat-related attention deployment. Recent research suggests that greater attention bias variability, that is, attention fluctuations alternating toward and away from threat, occurs in participants with PTSD relative to healthy comparison subjects who were either exposed or not exposed to traumatic events. The current study extends findings on attention bias variability in PTSD.Method: Previous measurement of attention bias variability was refined by employing a moving average technique. Analyses were conducted across seven independent data sets; in each, data on attention bias variability were collected by using variants of the dot-probe task. Trauma-related and anxiety symptoms were evaluated across samples by using structured psychiatric interviews and widely used self-report questionnaires, as specified for each sample.Results: Analyses revealed consistent evidence of greater attention bias variability in patients with PTSD following various types of traumatic events than in healthy participants, participants with social anxiety disorder, and participants with acute stress disorder. Moreover, threat-related, and not positive, attention bias variability was correlated with PTSD severity.Conclusions: These findings carry possibilities for using attention bias variability as a specific cognitive marker of PTSD and for tailoring protocols for attention bias modification for this disorder.

Male and female Soldiers from the 101 st Airborne Division (Air Assault) completed a 24-hour dietary recall and nutrition history questionnaire before anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken. Compared to sports nutrition guidelines, Soldiers of the 101 st under consume carbohydrates (males: 3.9 ± 2.0 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p < 0.001; females: 4.0 ± 2.1 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p = 0.001), male Soldiers eat too much fat (32.4% of kcal vs. <30% of kcal, p = 0.000) and saturated fat (males: 10.5 ± 3.9% of kcal vs. 10.0% of kcal, p = 0.044), and both males and females follow a meal pattern that may not optimize energy availability throughout the day. Eating too much fat and under fueling carbohydrate may negatively impact the adaptations to physical training and compromise overall health. Although Soldiers continue to participate in arduous training programs, future research should be aimed at determining the energy and macronutrient needs to fuel and recover from specific types of military training.

Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists.Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points).Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem.

The long-term sequelae of these injuries have not been carefully examined. We sought to determine the relation between markers of injury severity and the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.Methods and Results: Retrospective cohort study of critically injured US military personnel wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan from February 1, 2002 to February 1, 2011. Patients were then followed until January 18, 2013. Chronic disease outcomes were assessed by International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition codes and causes of death were confirmed by autopsy. From 6011 admissions, records were excluded because of missing data or if they were for an individual's second admission. Patients with a disease diagnosis of interest before the injury date were also excluded, yielding a cohort of 3846 subjects for analysis. After adjustment for other factors, each 5-point increment in the injury severity score was associated with a 6%, 13%, 13%, and 15% increase in incidence rates of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease, respectively. Acute kidney injury was associated with a 66% increase in rates of hypertension and nearly 5-fold increase in rates of chronic kidney disease.Conclusions: In Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the severity of combat injury was associated with the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.

AB - Background: Traditionally, insulin bolus calculations for managing postprandial glucose levels in individuals with type 1 diabetes rely solely on the carbohydrate content of a meal. However, recent studies have reported that other macronutrients in a meal can alter the insulin required for good postprandial control. Specifically, studies have shown that high-fat (HF) meals require more insulin than low-fat (LF) meals with identical carbohydrate content. Our objective was to assess the mechanisms underlying the higher insulin requirement observed in one of these studies.Materials and Methods: We used a combination of previously validated metabolic models to fit data from a study comparing HF and LF dinners with identical carbohydrate content in seven subjects with type 1 diabetes. For each subject and dinner type, we estimated the model parameters representing the time of peak meal-glucose appearance (τ(m)), insulin sensitivity (S(I)), the net hepatic glucose balance, and the glucose effect at zero insulin in four time windows (dinner, early night, late night, and breakfast) and assessed the differences in model parameters via paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Results: During the HF meal, the τ(m) was significantly delayed (mean and standard error [SE]: 102 [14] min vs. 71 [4] min; P = 0.02), and S(I) was significantly lower (7.25 × 10(-4) [1.29 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min vs. 8.72 × 10(-4) [1.08 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min; P = 0.02).Conclusions: In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter S(I).

AB - This qualitative study explored strategies African-American cancer survivors use to overcome their fears and fatalistic attitudes toward cancer at the point of diagnosis through completion of treatment. Thirty-one African-American cancer survivors who had completed or nearly completed treatment were recruited through criterion purposeful sampling. In-depth, open-ended interviews were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Of the 31 survivors interviewed, 26 reported being fearful of cancer and believed that cancer would result in death. These cancer survivors were particularly fearful of having a cancer had spread, of being isolated, and performing less effectively at work. Strategies used to overcome these fears included increasing their own awareness about cancer, using positive self-talk, and avoiding negative people. The findings suggest that past experiences continue to influence fears and fatalistic perspectives about cancer and that educational resources to inform the public about cancer may be ignored until there is a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. Televised news broadcasts of high-profile personalities who had died from cancer were also anxiety provoking, particularly if the cancer survivor died of a recurrence from cancer. Prevalent sources of information and support for these survivors were family members or close friends they trusted with personal information, perceived as strong, or experienced in the care of other cancer survivors.

An investigation of a greater than expected number of new HIV infections among soldiers was initiated to characterize transmission and identify opportunities to disrupt transmission and deliver services.All soldiers who were assigned to the base at the time of their first positive HIV test and who had their first positive HIV test in 2012 or in the first 6 months of 2013 and who had a clinical genotype available for analysis were eligible for inclusion in the investigation.All patients (n = 19) were men; most were black (52%) and less than 30 years old (64%). Fifteen of the 19 patients participated in in-depth interviews. Eighty percent were men who have sex with men who reported multiple sex partners having met through social and electronic networks. All were subtype B infections. Significant knowledge gaps and barriers to accessing testing and care in the military healthcare system were identified. Most (58%) belonged to transmission networks involving other soldiers.This investigation represents an important step forward in on-going efforts to develop a comprehensive understanding of transmission networks in the Army that can inform delivery of best practices combination prevention services. The Army is developing plans to directly engage individuals in key affected populations most at risk for HIV infection to identify and address unmet needs and expand delivery and uptake of prevention services. Further investigation is underway and will determine whether these findings are generalizable to the Army.

Although research in a variety of organizational settings has demonstrated training efficacy, few studies have assessed cognitive skills training using rigorous, longitudinal, randomized trials with active controls. The present study examined cognitive skills training in a high-risk occupation by randomizing 48 platoons (N = 2,432 soldiers) in basic combat training to either (a) mental skills training or (b) an active comparison condition (military history). Surveys were conducted at baseline and 3 times across the 10-week course. Multilevel mixed-effects models revealed that soldiers in the mental skills training condition reported greater use of a range of cognitive skills and increased confidence relative to those in the control condition. Soldiers in the mental skills training condition also performed better on obstacle course events, rappelling, physical fitness, and initial weapons qualification scores, although effects were generally moderated by gender and previous experience. Overall, effects were small; however, given the rigor of the design, the findings clearly contribute to the broader literature by providing supporting evidence that cognitive training skills can enhance performance in occupational and sports settings. Future research should address gender and experience to determine the need for targeting such training appropriately.

KW - Immersion SP - 1178 EP - 1183 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 180 IS - 11 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Unlabelled: Ranger training includes strenuous physical activities and despite heat mitigations strategies, numerous cases of serious exertional heat illness (EHI) occur. We developed an Arm Immersion Cooling (AIC) system that is not logistically burdensome and may be easily employed in training environments.Purpose: To examine the effect of AIC on EHI incidence, severity, and treatment costs during Ranger School.Methods: The training program was standardized for physical exertion and heat stress factors throughout the study period. AIC was employed summer months of 2010-2012 (n = 3,930 Soldiers) and Control (CON; n = 6,650 Soldiers) data were obtained for summer months of 2007-2009. Descriptive characteristics of all EHI casualties were obtained, including hospitalization status (treated and released [Treat], evacuated [Evac] or admitted [Admit] to the hospital), which served as proxy indicator of illness/injury severity. Medical cost savings were calculated from hospital records.Results: Incidence rates were not different (CON 4.06 vs. AIC 4.00/1,000 person-days). Treat increased during AIC (18.43 vs. 4.84/1,000 person-days) accompanied by marked but non-significant decreases in Evac and Admit rates. AIC use was associated with a medical cost savings of $1,719 per casualty.Conclusions: AIC implementation during strenuous physical training in summer months can reduce EHI severity and associated medical treatment costs.

Patients received 4 weight-based doses of intravenous artesunate (2.4 mg/kg) under a treatment protocol implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between January 2007 and December 2010. At baseline, 35% had evidence of cerebral malaria, and 17% had severe hepatic impairment. Eligibility required the presence of microscopically confirmed malaria, need for intravenous treatment, and an impediment to quinidine.Measurements: Clinical and laboratory data from each patient's hospital records were abstracted retrospectively, including information from baseline through a maximum 7-day follow-up, and presented before a physician committee to evaluate safety and clinical benefit outcomes.Results: 7 patients died (mortality rate, 6.9%). The most frequent adverse events were anemia (65%) and elevated hepatic enzyme levels (49%). All deaths and most adverse events were attributed to the severity of malaria. Patients' symptoms generally improved or resolved within 3 days, and the median time to discharge from the intensive care unit was 4 days, even for patients with severe liver disease or cerebral malaria. More than 100 concomitant medications were used, with no documented drug-drug interactions.Limitation: Potential late-presenting safety issues might occur outside the 7-day follow-up.Conclusion: Artesunate was a safe and clinically beneficial alternative to quinidine.

Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

This qualitative study used criterion purposeful sampling and thematic analysis in analysis of data from 31 African-American cancer patients to understand the influence of religion on the utilization of cancer care services. Our findings suggest that religious beliefs and practices positively influenced attitudes toward their illness and ability to endure treatment. God's ability to heal and cure, God's control over survival, God's will over their lives, and God's promise for health and prosperity were examples of survivor's religious beliefs. Religious practices such as prayer promoted a trusting relationship with healthcare providers and were a source of strength and encouragement.

Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs.

One goal of the workshop was to establish a roadmap to building an evidence base on that would indicate whether acupuncture is helpful for treating active-duty military personnel experiencing acute pain. The workshop highlighted brief presentations on the most current research on acupuncture and acute pain mechanisms. The impact of various modifiers (stress, genetics, population, phenotypes, etc.) on acute pain pathways and response to acupuncture treatment was discussed. Additional presentations focused on common neural mechanisms, an overview of real-world experience with using acupuncture to treat traumatic acute pain, and best tools and methods specific for acupuncture studies. Three breakout groups addressed the gaps, opportunities, and barriers to acupuncture use for acute pain in military and trauma settings. Different models of effectiveness research and optimal research designs for conducting trials in acute traumatic pain were also discussed.

Background Unhealthy behaviours contribute to the development of health inequalities worldwide. The link between perceived risk and successful health behaviour change is inconclusive, particularly in vulnerable populations. This may be attributed to inattention to culture. Data sources The synthesis strategy of theory building guided the process using three methods: (1) a systematic review of literature published between 2000-2011 targeting perceived risk in vulnerable populations; (2) qualitative and (3) quantitative data from a study of Samoan Pacific Islanders at high risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Discussion Main concepts of this theory include risk attention, appraisal processes, cognition, and affect. Overarching these concepts is health-world view: cultural ways of knowing, beliefs, values, images, and ideas. This theory proposes the following: (1) risk attention varies based on knowledge of the health risk in the context of health-world views; (2) risk appraisals are influenced by affect, health-world views, cultural customs, and protocols that intersect with the health risk; (3) strength of cultural beliefs, values, and images (cultural identity) mediate risk attention and risk appraisal influencing the likelihood that persons will engage in health-promoting behaviours that may contradict cultural customs/protocols. Implications Interventions guided by a culturally sensitive mid-range theory may improve behaviour-related health inequalities in vulnerable populations. Conclusions The synthesis strategy is an intensive process for developing a culturally sensitive mid-range theory. Testing of the theory will ascertain its usefulness for reducing health inequalities in vulnerable groups.

Time pressure can result from self-imposed goals or relatively dynamic situational factors that induce varied constraints. While time pressure is ubiquitous in daily life and has been shown to influence affective states, cost-benefit analyses, and strategy selection, its influence on navigation behaviour is unknown. The present study examined how introducing varied time constraints during virtual urban navigation would influence spatial strategies and impact the efficiency and effectiveness of goal-directed wayfinding. Participants learned a large-scale urban virtual environment by wayfinding between a series of 20 successive landmark goals (e.g.,You have reached the Theater. Now find the Bank.). A day later, they again performed the same task, but landmark-to-landmark trials were characterized by conditions of low-, moderate-, or high-pressure time limits as quantified by a pilot experiment. As time pressure increased, participants more likely navigated along previously experienced paths and less likely travelled in the global direction of the destination. Results suggest strategy shifts under time constraints that increase reliance on egocentric, route-based strategies and decrease reliance on global configural knowledge, probably in an attempt to reduce cognitive demands and support performance under pressure.

Considering that wellbeing is one of the most important goals that people pursue to achieve a good life, studying the influence of food on this construct can contribute to our understanding of how eating behavior patterns are shaped. The conceptualization of wellbeing and the influence of specific food products on different aspects of this construct are expected to vary with consumers’ cultural background. The present work aimed to investigate cross-cultural differences in perceived wellbeing of food products and to link those differences to product-specific consumer evaluations. A web-based study was carried out with 1332 participants in seven countries on four continents: Brazil, China, France, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay and USA. Nine food concepts (apple, beef, beer, broccoli, chocolate cake, coffee, fish, French fries and milk) were presented to participants by means of an incomplete balanced design. For each concept, participants gave their degree of agreement with 31 statements of a new wellbeing questionnaire, using a 7-point scale. The scores of the 31 items of the scale were significantly affected by country and food concept, as well as through their interaction. The largest differences among products were found for items related to physical and intellectual aspects of wellbeing, whereas the largest differences among countries were found for items related to emotional and spiritual aspects. Results from this research provide insights for measuring consumers’ perception of the influence of foods on wellbeing and highlight the importance of taking into account cultural differences in the conceptualization of this construct.

However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed.

A secondary aim was to compare differences in the level of burnout between the deployed Army nursing personnel and Army nursing personnel assigned to an Army hospital in the United States that served as the U.S. military's primary referral center for American combat casualties evacuated from Iraq. Design: A nonexperimental cross-sectional design was used for this study. Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Practice Environment Scale were administered to 105 personnel who deployed with a CSH to Iraq. Data from this study were linked to data obtained from 152 nursing personnel who participated in an earlier burnout study at a large Army hospital in the United States. The linked datasets yielded a final sample of 257 Army nursing personnel. Analysis of variance and linear regression analysis were used to analyze these data. Findings: Emotional exhaustion was common across groups. For the deployed nursing personnel, emotional exhaustion was related to a perceived lack of support from management, foundations for quality of care, collegial relationships, and extended work schedules. The U.S.-based Army hospital group scored significantly higher emotional exhaustion, but it was related to the additional responsibilities associated with being an Army nurse, working extended schedules, and working with combat casualties for extended periods of time. The U.S.-based group perceived more personal accomplishment from the work they do. Conclusions: Burnout was common across Army hospital settings. Emotional exhaustion was most problematic in the U.S.-based Army hospital; however, there was less cynicism toward patients and a greater perception of personal accomplishment associated with work. Clinical Relevance: This study supports the importance of a professional practice environment for Army nursing personnel both during deployment and in U.S.-based Army hospitals.

The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolic requirements of servicemembers with transtibial amputations wearing a loaded rucksack and walking at a steady speed. We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have rede­ployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more tax­ing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations.

The Dynamic Soarer glider programme, catapulted to significance by air force reaction to Sputnik, became the standard bearer for aerospace thought in the late 1950s. Dwight Eisenhower's administration, however, did not see the weaponisation of space as inevitable or desirable. Convinced that public insistence for visible space accomplishments made elimination or cuts to projects politically difficult, Eisenhower's administration used organisational decisions and policy strictures to impede development of the Dyna-Soar and to prevent aerospace paladins from commandeering US space policy.

A 14-day oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats was conducted with NTO in polyethylene glycol -200 by gavage at doses of 0, 250, 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 mg/kg-d. Body mass and food consumption decreased in males (2000 mg/kg-d), and testes mass was reduced at doses of 500 mg/kg-d and greater. Based on the findings in the 14-day study, a 90-day study was conducted at doses of 0, 30, 100, 315, or 1000 mg/kg-d NTO. There was no effect on food consumption, body mass, or neurobehavioral parameters. Males in the 315 and 1000 mg/kg-d groups had reduced testes mass with associated tubular degeneration and atrophy. The testicular effects were the most sensitive adverse effect and were used to derive a benchmark dose (BMD) of 70 mg/kg-d with a 10% effect level (BMDL10) of 40 mg/kg-d.

The introduction of the C-17 aircraft and the requirement of dowel bars as a joint load transfer mechanism bring into question the validity of the 152-mm (6-in.) minimum thickness. With the objective of updating such minimum thickness criteria, a full-scale test section was constructed and trafficked with loads simulating F-15, B-52, and C-17 aircraft landing gear. Evaluation of the test section performance and analysis of the strain data supported a U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center team recommendations that the minimum pavement thickness be increased to 203 mm (8 in.) for any doweled airfield pavement and that the minimum thickness of 279 mm (11 in.) should be required for those pavements supporting C-17 aircraft.

When small caliber ammunition is fired at testing and training ranges, these metals—some of which are toxic—are introduced into the environment. Research was conducted on the effects of bullet on bullet impacts and the resulting bullet fragmentation. The extent of bullet fragmentation, among other factors, affects the formation of mobile metal species from small arms firing ranges. Bullet on bullet impact can increase the surface area to mass ratio of the bullet metal alloys in the soil. The solubility of a metal is typically associated with the specific corrosion rate in the berm environment which is dependent on the surface area of the fragments. The purpose of the study was to analyze the bullet on bullet impact effects in six soil types. Changes in the metal distribution as a result of bullet impact was evaluated through sieve analysis and changes in the particle size distribution. The bullet on bullet impact observed in this study demonstrated a significant and observable shift in the fragmentation profiles for the lead, antimony, and copper in soils after shooting an average of 1050 tungsten-nylon bullets into the legacy lead soils. This study provides new information to assist with determining the potential environmental fate, transport, and environmental availability associated with constant bullet on bullet impact at testing and training ranges.

JO - Journal of Analytical Toxicology JF - Journal of Analytical Toxicology Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 38 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 524 EP - 527 SN - 01464760 AB - Legitimate use of legal intranasal decongestants containing l-methamphetamine may complicate interpretation of urine drug tests positive for amphetamines. Our study hypotheses were that commonly used immunoassays would produce no false-positive results and a recently developed enantiomer-specific gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) procedure would find no d-amphetamine or d-methamphetamine in urine following controlled Vicks VapoInhaler administration at manufacturer's recommended doses. To evaluate these hypotheses, 22 healthy adults were each administered one dose (two inhalations in each nostril) of a Vicks VapoInhaler every 2 h for 10 h on Day 1 (six doses), followed by a single dose on Day 2. Every urine specimen was collected as an individual void for 32 h after the first dose and assayed for d- and l-amphetamines specific isomers with a GC–MS method with >99% purity of R-(−)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl derivatives and 10 µg/L lower limits of quantification. No d-methamphetamine or d-amphetamine was detected in any urine specimen by GC–MS. The median l-methamphetamine maximum concentration was 62.8 µg/L (range: 11.0–1,440). Only two subjects had detectable l-amphetamine, with maximum concentrations coinciding with l-methamphetamine peak levels, and always ≤4% of the parent's maximum. Three commercial immunoassays for amphetamines EMIT® II Plus, KIMS® II and DRI® had sensitivities, specificities and efficiencies of 100, 97.8, 97.8; 100, 99.6, 99.6 and 100, 100, 100%, respectively. The immunoassays had high efficiencies, but our first hypothesis was not affirmed. The EMIT® II Plus assay produced 2.2% false-positive results, requiring an enantiomer-specific confirmation.

JO - Canadian Journal of Forest Research JF - Canadian Journal of Forest Research Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 45 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 325 EP - 342 SN - 00455067 AB - As concerns rise over potential effects of greenhouse gas related climate change on terrestrial ecosystems, forest managers require growth and yield modeling capabilities responsive to changing climate conditions. Our goal was to develop prediction models of site index for eastern US forest tree species with climate and soil properties as predictors for use in predicting potential responses of forest productivity to climate change. Species-specific site index data from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program were linked to contemporary climate data and soil properties mapped in the USDA Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database. Random forest regression tree based ensemble prediction models of site index were constructed based on 37 climate-related and 15 soil attributes. In addition to a species-specific site index, aggregate models were developed for species grouped into two broad categories: conifer (softwood) and hardwood (broadleaved) species groups. Species-specific models based on climate and soil predictors explained the most variation in site index of any models tested ( R2 = 62.5%, RMSE = 3.2 m). Comparable results were found when grouping species into conifer and hardwood groups ( R2 = 63.9%, RMSE = 4.6 m for conifers; R2 = 35.9%, RMSE = 4.2 m for hardwoods). Model predictions based on multiple global circulation models (GCMs) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) development scenarios were tested for statistical significance using bootstrap resampling methods. Results showed significant increases over the 21st century in mean site index for conifers between +0.5 and +2.4 m. Over the same time period, mean hardwood site index showed decreases of as much as −1.7 m for the scenarios tested. The results demonstrate the utility of using climate and soils data in predicting site index across a large geographic region, and the potential of climate change to alter forest productivity in the eastern US. Additional investigation is needed to interpret spatial patterns and ecological relationships related to predictions from this type of model.

Notre but était de mettre au point des modèles de prévision de l'indice de qualité de station pour les espèces d'arbre des forêts de l'est des États-Unis avec le climat et les propriétés du sol comme variables de prédiction pour prévoir les réactions potentielles de la production forestière face aux changements climatiques. Les données d'indice de qualité de station de chaque espèce provenant du programme d'analyse et d'inventaire forestier de l'USDA Forest Service ont été jumelées aux données du climat contemporain et aux propriétés du sol cartographiées dans la base de données SSURGO de l'inventaire géographique des sols de l'USDA. Des modèles d'ensemble de forêts aléatoires fondés sur des arbres de régression ont été construits à l'aide de 37 attributs reliés au climat et 15 attributs reliés au sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station. En plus de l'indice de qualité de station pour chaque espèce, des modèles globaux ont été mis au point pour deux grandes catégories d'espèces, les conifères et les feuillus. Parmi les modèles testés, les modèles pour chaque espèce fondés sur les prédicteurs du climat et du sol ont expliqué la plus grande partie de la variation de l'indice de qualité de station ( R2 = 62,5 %, EMQ = 3,2 m). Des résultats comparables ont été obtenus lorsque les espèces étaient regroupées en conifères ou feuillus ( R2 = 63,9 %, EMQ = 4,6 m pour les conifères; R2 = 35,9 %, EMQ = 4,2 m pour les feuillus). La signification statistique des prévisions des modèles basés sur les modèles de circulation globale multiple et les scénarios du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat a été testée à l'aide de méthodes de rééchantillonnage avec autoamorçage. Selon les résultats, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des conifères connaîtrait au cours du 21e siècle des augmentations significatives variant de 0,5 à 2,4 m. Pendant la même période, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des feuillus subirait une diminution pouvant aller jusqu'à 1,7 m selon les scénarios testés. Les résultats démontrent l'utilité d'utiliser des données sur le climat et le sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station dans une grande région géographique et le potentiel des changements climatiques pour modifier la productivité des forêts de l'est des États-Unis. Des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour interpréter les patrons spatiaux et les relations écologiques associés aux prévisions de ce type de modèle.

However, the new paradigm of U.S. military contingency operations requires a strategic vision beyond merely engaging the enemy. American military commanders in the 21st century must also seek to win the hearts and minds of a local population in order to solidify gains and ensure a lasting victory. Unfortunately, many commanders have not adapted to this new way of thinking. As a result, commanders fail to consider the long-term environmental damage inflicted by their soldiers during combat operations, damage which must be borne by the civilian population. Such damage includes hidden unexploded ordnance hazards, depleted uranium, and other hazardous waste generated by the day-to-day operations of U.S. military personnel deployed to contingency environments. Though conmianders claim exigent circumstances prohibit them from implementing environmental controls, the long-term nature of current U.S. occupation-up to thirteen years-undeimines these excuses. In fact, the U.S. military has a robust collection of policies, regulations, and personnel, which could be modified to limit the amount of damage caused by military deployments. This Article examines the existing hazards in contingency environments and the collection of U.S. military regulations, which apply to "enduring" bases, and those in the Continental United States. Additionally, it surveys the international laws regarding environmental destruction currently applicable to US. deployments, as well as what methods of recourse citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan have to address environmental damage caused by the US. military. Finally, it proposes solutions to deal with gaps in U.S. and international law and policy in order to prevent and mediate environmental damage caused by U.S. contingency operations and provides methods of recourse by citizens of countries hosting military deployments.

Deep reactive-ion etching is used to form openings in the handling wafer allowing the die to be flush-mounted for minimal device thickness. The backsides of the support wafer and die are coated by copper sputtering and electroplating, which physically secures the die in place. Electrical isolation is achieved through passivation of the silicon handle wafer sidewalls before copper electroplating. Wet thermal oxide growth was chosen over plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition as the sidewall passivation technique, as wet thermal oxide was found to yield superior coverage and uniformity. Topside interconnects were realized using a previously established thick-film copper metallization process. A $3\times 3$ die array was successfully produced and tested for die-to-die connectivity. Thermal modeling of the fabricated devices showed that power densities up to 1 W/cm ^{2} could be accommodated while keeping the maximum temperature below 85 °C.

The few findings that have been reported show mixed to no linear effects of general mental ability on organizational continuance. In this study, we examined the association of more specific higher order cognitive capacities including complex problem solving skills and divergent thinking with officer continuance in the U.S. Army. We also tested the role of developmental experiences as a partial mediator of this relationship. Our sample included 640 officers who completed measures of these skills and of their career experiences in 1992–1993. To this sample, we added years of service from date of commissioning to 2008, as well as data on whether officers experienced particular assignments considered to be challenging and developmental. Our findings support the association of complex problem solving and divergent thinking skills with leader continuance. We also found that this effect is partially mediated by challenging developmental experiences. Thus, we provide stronger evidence than in prior studies for a linear relationship between cognitive abilities and continuance in an organization.

Adding periodic waves or kinks to the traces of an inductor coil has been found to result in a more compliant structure that will not permanently deform or break after stretching by tens of percent. In this paper, the effects on electrical performance of creating inductor coils from stretchable wavy traces are investigated. Eight different tortuous trace designs were modeled and experimentally tested in one- and three-turn inductors, as well as an electrical transformer design. Incorporating waves into an inductor was found to result in a negative mutual coupling along the traces, degrading the inductor performance. The incremental self-inductance per resistance of the added length due to the waviness, $\sim 1.2$ nH/ $\Omega $ , was similar for all interconnect types tested. This value is less than a third that of using a longer straight conductor of similar cross section (4.4 nH/ $\Omega )$ , resulting in a drop in ratio of inductance to resistance and resulting peak quality factor in the measured inductors by as much as a factor of two.

Sound sources included rock fracturing by a hydraulic cutterhead dredge and six distinct sources associated with a mechanical backhoe dredging operation during rock excavation. To place sound emitted from these dredges in perspective with other anthropogenic sounds, recordings were also made of several deep-draft commercial vessels. Results are presented as sound pressure levels (SPLs) in one-third octave versus range across the 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency band. To address concerns for protection of fishery resource occupying the harbor, SPL were examined at frequency bands of 50-1000 Hz and 100-400 Hz, the ranges where the majority of fishes without hearing specializations detect sound and the range of greatest sensitivity, respectively. Source levels (dB re 1 µPa-1 m rms) were back calculated using fitted regression (15LogR). The strongest sound sources (180-188.9 dB) were emitted by commercial shipping. Rock fracturing produced a source level of 175 dB, whereas six distinct sources associated with rock excavation had source levels ranging from 164.2 to 179.4 dB re 1 µPa-1 m (rms).

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 135 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3231 EP - 3242 SN - 00014966 AB - Acoustic pulse propagation in outdoor urban environments is a physically complex phenomenon due to the predominance of reflection, diffraction, and scattering. This is especially true in non-line-of-sight cases, where edge diffraction and high-order scattering are major components of acoustic energy transport. Past work by Albert and Liu [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 127, 1335-1346 (2010)] has shown that many of these effects can be captured using a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method, which was compared to the measured data recorded in an army training village. In this paper, a full three-dimensional analysis of acoustic pulse propagation is presented. This analysis is enabled by the adaptive rectangular decomposition method by Raghuvanshi, Narain and Lin [IEEE Trans. Visual. Comput. Graphics 15, 789-801 (2009)], which models sound propagation in the same scene in three dimensions. The simulation is run at a much higher usable bandwidth (nearly 450 Hz) and took only a few minutes on a desktop computer. It is shown that a three-dimensional solution provides better agreement with measured data than two-dimensional modeling, especially in cases where propagation over rooftops is important. In general, the predicted acoustic responses match well with measured results for the source/sensor locations.

Establishing a valid method of identifying athletes at elevated risk for injury could lead to intervention programs that lower injury rates and improve overall athlete performance. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS)TM is an efficient and reliable method to screen movement patterns during the performance of specific tasks. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between pre-season FMS TM scores and the development of injury in a population of collegiate athletes Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study Methods: FMSTM scores were obtained for 160 collegiate athletes and injury development was tracked throughout the season. These athletes were both male and female and participated in contact and noncontact sports. Redundancies were utilized with injury data collection, including medical record reviews and interviews with team athletic trainers, to ensure that all injuries requiring medical attention were captured. At the conclusion of the season, a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine which combination of factors best predicted injury. Results: Athletes with an FMSTM composite score at 14 or below combined with a self-reported past history of injury were at 15 times increased risk of injury. A positive likelihood ratio of 5.8 was calculated which improved the probability of predicting injury from 33% pretest to 74% posttest. Conclusions: This study adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating a predictive relationship between FMSTM composite scores and past history of injury with the development of future injury.

The mathematical models developed by leveraging the dominating effects of freezing and thawing within the cryosphere to simplify the relevant heat transport equations are tractable to direct solution or numerical modeling. In this paper, the heat forcing function is assumed to be a linear transformation of temperature (assumed to be represented by proxy realizations). The output from the governing mathematical model is total ice volume of the cryosphere. The basic mathematical model provides information as a systems modeling approach that includes sufficient detail to explain ice volume given the estimation of the heat forcing function. A comparison between modeling results in the estimation of ice volume versus ice volume estimates developed from use of proxy data are shown in the demonstration problems presented.

The X-ray CT imaging was done in conjunction with three-point bending tests of notched beam specimens. Unreinforced specimens were used to measure specific fracture energy in a way that accounts for the irregular shape of the fracture surface. For fiber-reinforced specimens, 3D digital image analysis techniques were used to measure fiber volume fraction, as well as the orientation of each individual fiber. In postfracture scans, the total amount of internal cracking was measured, as was the degree of fiber pullout relative to undamaged specimens. Measurements show that with a nominal steel fiber volume fraction between 3.5 and 4.0% there can be a greater than a 100-fold increase in the net work of load. Through quantitative analysis of the tomographic images, we could account for close to 90% of that increase. The analysis shows that roughly half of the internal energy dissipation comes from matrix cracking, including the crack branching and multiple crack systems facilitated by the fibers, while the remaining energy dissipation is a result of fiber pullout.

However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury.

Models that provide quantitative estimates of AMS risk are expanding, but predictive genetic models for AMS susceptibility are still under investigation. Thirty-four male U.S. Army Soldier volunteers were exposed to baseline, 3,000 m, 3,500 m, or 4,500 m altitude conditions in a hypobaric chamber and evaluated for onset of AMS symptoms. In addition, mice were evaluated at extreme hypoxia conditions equivalent to 7,600 m. Real-time polymerase chain reaction hypoxia response array was used to identify 15 genes that were activated in Soldiers and 46 genes that were activated in mice. We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a gene that is significantly activated in response to hypoxia (5.8-fold upregulated at 4,500 m in humans). The role of ANGPTL4 in high-altitude response has not been explored. Pretreatment of mice with fenofibrate, an /WGiTW-activating pharmaceutical, had a considerable effect on overall hypoxia response gene expression and resulted in significantly decreased cerebral edema following exposure to hypoxia. Activation of ANGPTL4 may protect against cerebral edema by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor and therefore serve as a potential target for AMS prevention.

In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The "recent loss of someone close" and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study's primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

The purpose of this article is to augment the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) guidance with a framework of TFF in units. The framework is based on a Military Demand-Resource model that highlights the dynamic interactions across demands, resources, and outcomes. A joint team of subject-matter experts identified key variables representing unit fitness demands, resources, and outcomes. The resulting framework informs and supports leaders, support agencies, and enterprise efforts to strengthen TFF in units by (1) identifying TFF unit variables aligned with current evidence and operational practices, (2) standardizing communication about TFF in units across the Department of Defense enterprise in a variety of military organizational contexts, (3) improving current resources including evidence- based actions for leaders, (4) identifying and addressing of gaps, and (5) directing future research for enhancing TFF in units. These goals are intended to inform and enhance Service efforts to develop Service-specific TFF models, as well as provide the conceptual foundation for a follow-on article about TFF metrics for units.

Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r2 = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r2 = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are "fit for duty" (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be mote widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R2 = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R2 = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed.

Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. Purpose: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. Methods: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. Results: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. Conclusion: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts.

In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as "General Service" or "Limited Service" it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the "handicapped" and "substandard" and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution.

The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. Methods: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. Results: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The ban was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively wit tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. Conclusions: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training.

The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. Methods: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. Results: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common lilac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. Conclusions: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group "Mental Health Training" initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Military Medicine is the property of AMSUS and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Purpose: To quantify the independent adjusted association of significant ADA STKI risk factors, 2000-2005. Materials/Methods: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (I) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323)- and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STK1 risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. Results: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (I) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). Major Conclusion: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of an injury prevention program on movement technique and peak vertical ground-reaction forces (VGRF) over time compared with a standard warm-up (SWU) program. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 1104 incoming freshmen (age range, 17-22 years) at a military academy in the United States volunteered to participate. Participants were cluster-randomized by military company to either the Dynamic Integrated Movement Enhancement (DIME) injury prevention program or SWU. A random subsample of participants completed a standardized jump-landing task at each time point: immediately before the intervention (PRE), immediately after (POST), and 2 (POST2M), 4 (POST4M), 6 (POST6M), and 8 months (POST8M) after the intervention. VGRF data collected during the jump-landing task were normalized to body weight (%BW). The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was used to evaluate movement technique during the jump landing. The change scores (Δ) for each variable (LESS, VGRF) between the group’s average value at PRE and each time point were calculated. Separate univariate analyses of variance were performed to evaluate group differences. Results: The results showed a greater decrease in mean (±SD) VGRF in the DIME group compared with the SWU group at all retention time points: POST2M (SWU [Δ%BW], −0.13 ± 0.82; DIME, −0.62 ± 0.91; P = .001), POST4M (SWU, −0.15 ± 0.98; DIME,−0.46 ± 0.64; P = .04), POST6M (SWU, −0.04 ± 0.96; DIME, −0.53 ± 0.83; P = .004), and POST8M (SWU, 0.38 ± 0.95; DIME, −0.11 ± 0.98; P = .003), but there was not a significant improvement in the DIME group between PRE and POST8M (Δ%BW, −0.11 ± 0.98). No group differences in Δ LESS were observed. Conclusion: The study findings demonstrated that an injury prevention program performed as a warm-up can reduce vertical ground-reaction forces compared with a standard warm-up but a maintenance program is likely necessary in order for continued benefit. Clinical Relevance: Injury prevention programs may need to be performed constantly, or at least every sport season, in order for participants to maintain the protective effects against injury.

Twenty-eight male, active duty soldiers walked on an instrumented treadmill while external force data and kinematics were recorded. A rigid body model was used to estimate joint moments and reaction forces. A musculoskeletal model was used to gather muscle length, muscle velocity, moment arm and orientation information. Optimization procedures were used to estimate muscle forces and finally internal bone forces and moments were applied to an inhomogeneous, subject specific bone model obtained from CT scans to estimate stress in the bone cross section. Validity was assessed by comparison to stresses calculated from strain gage data in the literature and sensitivity was investigated using two simplified versions of the bone model-a homogeneous model and an ellipse approximation. Peak compressive stress occurred on the posterior aspect of the cross section (−47.5±14.9 MPa). Peak tensile stress occurred on the anterior aspect (27.0±11.7 MPa) while the location of peak shear was variable between subjects (7.2±2.4 MPa). Peak compressive, tensile and shear stresses were within 0.52 MPa, 0.36 MPa and 3.02 MPa respectively of those calculated from the converted strain gage data. Peak values from a inhomogeneous model of the bone correlated well with homogeneous model (normal: 0.99; shear: 0.94) as did the normal ellipse model ( r =0.89–0.96). However, the relationship between shear stress in the inhomogeneous model and ellipse model was less accurate ( r =0.64). The procedures detailed in this paper provide a non-invasive and relatively quick method of estimating cross sectional stress that holds promise for assessing injury and osteogenic stimulus in bone during normal physical activity.

Physically inactive women (30-65 years) were randomized to 6 weeks of nutrition meetings and SIT (n = 23; 3 bouts/week of 4-8 30-s cycle sprints with 4-min recovery) or a nonexercise control condition (CON; n = 24). Before and after the 6-week intervention, perceived health status and mood were assessed. Clinically relevant increases in role-physical scores (ES = 0.64) and vitality (ES = 0.52) were found after 6 weeks of SIT compared with a nonexercise control group. For middle-aged women at risk for MetS, it is concluded that high-intensity, low-volume SIT (1) increases feelings of vitality and perceptions of having fewer physical limitations and (2) does not induce mood disturbances as occurs with high-volume, high-intensity training.

In spite of the increased recognition of the importance of situational variables, a literature and methodological toolkit for the study of situational influences that is comparable with those available for individual variables has not yet emerged. However, the recently developed Riverside Situational Q-sort provides a novel method for quantifying subjective impressions of any situation. This proof-of-concept demonstration asked participants to complete the RSQ in response to an imaginary food crisis situation communicated via one of three message sources (social media, organizational website and traditional media). Results illustrate the potential of this method to provide quantitative evaluations of subjective responses to crisis situations.

This often occurs because these organizations fall into the trap of focusing too much on execution once they achieve success, which causes them to neglect the innovative approach that enabled achieving success in the first place. To avoid this trap, leaders must ensure that their organizations have a clearly identified and transformative purpose that guides organizational member work and inspires them to improve. The leader must also ensure that there is a well-established and understood process for improvement that facilitates learning and innovation. Finally, the leader must model, and organizational policies must reflect, the proper balance between execution and innovation.

Recent technological advances with WSR-88D radar now allow such investigations on much broader spatial scales. Both methods are assumed to accurately quantify patterns in migrant bird communities, yet information is lacking regarding relationships between radar estimates of migration and different ground-based monitoring methods. From 2005 to 2007, we monitored migrant communities on or near two Department of Defense installations in the spring (Ft. Polk Military Complex, LA; U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, Yuma Proving Ground, AZ) and on two installations in the fall (Ft. Polk Military Complex, LA; Eglin Air Force Base, FL) using both ground-based transect surveys and radar imagery of birds aloft. We modeled daily changes in migrant abundance and positive and negative species turnover measured on the ground as a function of radar estimates of migrant exodus and input densities. Radar data were not significant predictors of any response variable in any season either in the southeastern or southwestern United States, indicating a disparity between the results obtained using different methods. Multiple unique sources of error associated with each technique likely contributed to the conflicting outcomes, and researchers should take great care when selecting monitoring methods appropriate to address research questions, effects of management practices, or when comparing the results of migration studies using different survey techniques.

Los recientes avances tecnológicos con el radar WSR-88D, permiten, actualmente, este tipo de investigación en una escala espacial más amplia. Se asume, que ambos métodos indicados cuantifican con precisión los patrones migratorios en comunidades de aves, aunque falta información referente a las relaciones entre los estimados con el radar y los de otros métodos de censos terrestres. De 2005 al 2007, monitoreamos comunidades migratorias durante la primavera, en o cerca de dos instalaciones del Departamento de Defensa (complejo militar Ft. Polk, LA; Comando de Pruebas y Evaluación del ejercito de los EUA, Yuma, Arizona) y otras dos durante el otoño (complejo militar Ft. Polk, LA; la base Eglin de la Fuerza Aérea, Fl), utilizando censos terrestres e imágenes de radar. Modelamos diariamente los cambios en la abundancia de migratorios y los cambios positivos o negativos de especies al usar censos en el terreno y como función de los estimados del radar en el éxodo migratorio y su aportación en las densidades. Los datos del radar no permitieron predecir, de forma significativa, ninguna variable de respuesta, en ninguna de las dos temporadas, y en ninguna de las dos localidades al sureste o suroeste de las Estados Unidos, e indicaron disparidad entre los resultados obtenidos utilizando diferentes métodos. Errores múltiples, asociados a cada técnica, contribuyeron a los resultados conflictivos, por lo que los investigadores deben tener cuidado cuando seleccionen el método de monitoreo más apropiado para contestar preguntas particulares, o el efecto de prácticas de manejo o cuando quieran comparar los resultados de estudios sobre migratorios que usen diferentes técnicas.

These changes, and others discovered during remeasurement, have been caused by a complex of factors, some related to damming (altered hydrologic and sediment regimes, delta formation, and associated wet-dry cycles) and some not (diseases and expansion of invasive plants). Dominance of green ash, however, may be short lived, given the likelihood that the emerald ash borer will arrive in the Dakotas in 5-10 years, with potentially devastating effects. The prospects for recovery of this valuable ecosystem, rich in ecosystem goods and services and in American history, are daunting.

Large scour holes in front of Melvin Price Lock and Dam, the largest navigation structure on the Mississippi River, present a unique opportunity to explore this effect because the scour has been so severe and well documented. Likely scenarios for river ice accumulation and passage were identified based on historical flows and observations. For all simulations, the ice accumulated upstream of the gates as observed in the field and the ice thicknesses were found to match well with the general shape of the scour surveys. Ice thicknesses as large as 5.9 m and under-ice depth-averaged water velocities as great as 6.6 m/s were observed in the simulations. By using a shear stress criterion, the rock size necessary to prevent the scour exceeded the original rock size of 0.33 m for six of the seven cases. This study demonstrates that the presence of a localized thick ice accumulation increases the potential for bed shear and may cause movement of stone bed protection sized for open water conditions. Ice processes should therefore be considered in the design or rehabilitation of riprap protection at large lock and dam structures.

SN - 10928758 AB - An autonomous, wireless, in-situ sensor (AWISS) was demonstrated for the detection of Escherichia coli. A prototype battery-powered optical AWISS, consisting of a miniature spectrophotometer, monitored the changes in fluorescence intensity that occur when the E. coli-synthesized β-glucuronidase enzyme hydrolyzes the reagent's glycosidic bond, releasing fluorophores into solution. Laboratory testing with the prototype sensor showed the AWISS was capable of detecting low concentrations (<100 colony forming units [CFU]/100 mL) in less than eight hours. Higher concentrations (>5000 CFU/100 mL), indicative of a possible combined sewage discharge, could be detected in under one hour. A seven-day demonstration utilized the prototype sensor to sample and record the bacterial water quality of the St. Joseph River in South Bend, Indiana. Every six hours a new sample was drawn into a custom-designed stop-flow reaction chamber and injected with a soluble reagent. A wireless transmitter sent intensity data to a remote monitoring station. The deployment produced 19 individual sampling events, of which 15 were compared to culture methods approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Four samples were drawn in the middle of the night and not verified. Of the 15 verified samples, 13 correctly identified the presence or absence of an E. coli concentration defined as significant by the USEPA and Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) thresholds of 125 CFU/100 mL.

Previous studies in this area have indicated a preference for synthetic polymeric materials because of their ability to bind greater amounts of oil and their reusability, as compared to organic materials including straw. However, it is clear that plastic leads to ecological problems in marine environments and does not typically provide bioavailable nutrients such as nitrogen or phosphorus to aid the natural oil biodegradation process. Our results suggest the advisability of using biomass such as straw for crude oil remediation.

SN - 00431745 AB - Flumioxazin has recently (2010) been registered for aquatic use for control of hydrilla and other noxious invasive aquatic plant species. Due to the rapid degradation of flumioxazin, especially in high pH water, some hydrilla research trials have produced less than desirable results with rapid plant regrowth. Therefore, laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of pH on flumioxazin's effect on photosynthesis. Flumioxazin applied at concentrations ≥ 200 µg ai L-1 in high (9.0) pH water and ≥ 100 µg L-1 in low (6.0) pH water required 68 to 123 h to reduce photosynthesis by 50% (ET50). The effect of 400 µg L-1 flumioxazin on photosynthesis of apical hydrilla tips was also compared at low (20 µmol m-2 s-1), medium (170 µmol m-2 s-1), and high (400 µmol m-2 s-1) light levels at pH 9.0. Low light--treated tips were still photosynthetic at approximately 73% of the nontreated control plants 168 h after treatment. Low light--treated hydrilla required an estimated 303 h to achieve a 50% reduction in photosynthesis, while high light plants only required 99 h. Chlorophyll content of hydrilla was reduced as flumioxazin concentration was increased from 100 to 1,600 µg L-1. These data indicate that flumioxazin activity on hydrilla photosynthesis is influenced by herbicide concentration, water pH, and light intensity.

JO - Plant Biotechnology Journal JF - Plant Biotechnology Journal Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 10 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 2 EP - 11 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 14677644 AB - Summary WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of many plant processes, including the responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination. For over 15 years, limited evidence has been available suggesting that WRKY TFs may play roles in regulating plant responses to the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), notably some WRKY TFs are ABA-inducible repressors of seed germination. However, the roles of WRKY TFs in other aspects of ABA signalling, and the mechanisms involved, have remained unclear. Recent significant progress in ABA research has now placed specific WRKY TFs firmly in ABA-responsive signalling pathways, where they act at multiple levels. In Arabidopsis, WRKY TFs appear to act downstream of at least two ABA receptors: the cytoplasmic PYR/PYL/RCAR-protein phosphatase 2C-ABA complex and the chloroplast envelope-located ABAR-ABA complex. In vivo and in vitro promoter-binding studies show that the target genes for WRKY TFs that are involved in ABA signalling include well-known ABA-responsive genes such as ABF2, ABF4, ABI4, ABI5, MYB2, DREB1a, DREB2a and RAB18. Additional well-characterized stress-inducible genes such as RD29A and COR47 are also found in signalling pathways downstream of WRKY TFs. These new insights also reveal that some WRKY TFs are positive regulators of ABA-mediated stomatal closure and hence drought responses. Conversely, many WRKY TFs are negative regulators of seed germination, and controlling seed germination appears a common function of a subset of WRKY TFs in flowering plants. Taken together, these new data demonstrate that WRKY TFs are key nodes in ABA-responsive signalling networks.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 115 EP - 121 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - The environmental prevalence of engineered nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticulate silver (AgNP), is expected to increase substantially. The ubiquitous use of commercial products containing AgNP may result in their release to the environment, and the potential for ecological effects is unknown. Detecting engineered nanomaterials is one of the greatest challenges in quantifying their risks. Thus, it is imperative to develop techniques capable of measuring and characterizing exposures, while dealing with the innate difficulties of nanomaterial detection in environmental samples, such as low-engineered nanomaterial concentrations, aggregation, and complex matrices. Here the authors demonstrate the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, operated in a single-particle counting mode (SP-ICP-MS), to detect and quantify AgNP. In the present study, two AgNP products were measured by SP-ICP-MS, including one of precisely manufactured size and shape, as well as a commercial AgNP-containing health food product. Serial dilutions, filtration, and acidification were applied to confirm that the method detected particles. Differentiation of dissolved and particulate silver (Ag) is a feature of the technique. Analysis of two wastewater samples demonstrated the applicability of SP-ICP-MS at nanograms per liter Ag concentrations. In this pilot study, AgNP was found at 100 to 200 ng/L in the presence of 50 to 500 ng/L dissolved Ag. The method provides the analytical capability to monitor Ag and other metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in fate, transport, stability, and toxicity studies using a commonly available laboratory instrument. Rapid throughput and element specificity are additional benefits of SP-ICP-MS as a measurement tool for metal and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles. Environ. Toxicol.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 31 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Ecotoxicology research is using many methods for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but the collective experience from researchers has not been documented. This paper reports the practical issues for working with ENMs and suggests nano-specific modifications to protocols. The review considers generic practical issues, as well as specific issues for aquatic tests, marine grazers, soil organisms, and bioaccumulation studies. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are adequate, but electrodes are problematic. The maintenance of exposure concentration is challenging, but can be achieved with some ENMs. The need to characterize the media during experiments is identified, but rapid analytical methods are not available to do this. The use of sonication and natural/synthetic dispersants are discussed. Nano-specific biological endpoints may be developed for a tiered monitoring scheme to diagnose ENM exposure or effect. A case study of the algal growth test highlights many small deviations in current regulatory test protocols that are allowed (shaking, lighting, mixing methods), but these should be standardized for ENMs. Invertebrate ( Daphnia) tests should account for mechanical toxicity of ENMs. Fish tests should consider semistatic exposure to minimize wastewater and animal husbandry. The inclusion of a benthic test is recommended for the base set of ecotoxicity tests with ENMs. The sensitivity of soil tests needs to be increased for ENMs and shortened for logistics reasons; improvements include using Caenorhabditis elegans, aquatic media, and metabolism endpoints in the plant growth tests. The existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed and require considerable modification, or a new test, to work for ENMs. Overall, most methodologies need some amendments, and recommendations are made to assist researchers.

We present the final results of two phase 1 trials of an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based vaccine candidate designed to prevent EVD. Methods We conducted two phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation trials of an rVSV-based vaccine candidate expressing the glycoprotein of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV). A total of 39 adults at each site (78 participants in all) were consecutively enrolled into groups of 13. At each site, volunteers received one of three doses of the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine (3 million plaque-forming units [PFU], 20 million PFU, or 100 million PFU) or placebo. Volunteers at one of the sites received a second dose at day 28. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results The most common adverse events were injection-site pain, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Transient rVSV viremia was noted in all the vaccine recipients after dose 1. The rates of adverse events and viremia were lower after the second dose than after the first dose. By day 28, all the vaccine recipients had seroconversion as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the glycoprotein of the ZEBOV-Kikwit strain. At day 28, geometric mean titers of antibodies against ZEBOV glycoprotein were higher in the groups that received 20 million PFU or 100 million PFU than in the group that received 3 million PFU, as assessed by ELISA and by pseudovirion neutralization assay. A second dose at 28 days after dose 1 significantly increased antibody titers at day 56, but the effect was diminished at 6 months. Conclusions This Ebola vaccine candidate elicited anti-Ebola antibody responses. After vaccination, rVSV viremia occurred frequently but was transient. These results support further evaluation of the vaccine dose of 20 million PFU for preexposure prophylaxis and suggest that a second dose may boost antibody responses.

Methods: WBGT was measured hourly from 1000 to 1400 h at approximately 7 km, approximately 18 km, and approximately 30 km on the Boston Marathon race course. Simultaneous WBGT estimates were made for two meteorological stations southeast of the course via a commercial online system, which also provided 72-h advanced forecasts. Results: The measurement difference (mean ± SD) among course locations was 0.2°C ± 1.8°C WBGT (ANOVA, P > 0.05). The difference between course and stations was 1.9°C ± 2.4°C WBGT (/-test, P < 0.05). Station values underestimated (n = 98) or overestimated (n = 13) course values by >3°C WBGT (>0.5 flag category) in 111 of 245 paired comparisons (45%). Higher black globe and lower wet bulb temperatures explained over- and underestimates, respectively. Significant underestimates ofWBGT resulted in misclassification of green (labeled white) and black (labeled red) course flag categories (x2 , P < 0.05). Forecast data significantly underestimated red (labeled amber) and black (labeled red) course flag categories. Conclusions: Differences in WBGT index along 23 km of the Boston Marathon race route can be small enough to warrant single measurements. However, significant misclassification of flag categories occurred using WBGT estimates for meteorological stations; thus, local measurements are preferred. If the relation between station WBGT forecasts and the race sites can be established, the forecast WBGT values could be corrected to give advanced warning of approximate flag conditions. Similar work is proposed for other venues to improve heat stress monitoring.

(2014) sought to derive, from classical ethical theories, the ethical obligation of psychologists to assist “enhanced interrogations and torture” (EIT) in national defense scenarios under strict EIT criteria. They asked the American Psychological Association to adopt an ethics code obligating psychologists to assist such EIT and to uphold the reputation of EIT psychologists. We contest the authors’ ethical analyses as supports for psychologists’ forays into torture interrogation when (if ever) the EIT criteria obtain. We also contend that the authors’ application of these ethical analyses violates the Geneva Conventions, contravenes military doctrine and operations, and undermines psychology as a profession. We conclude that “good” public reputation is not owed to, or expected by, “good” intelligence professionals, and collaborating operational psychologists must share their providence.

However, at this time the mechanisms of SMT are not well established. It is possible that changes in pain sensitivity may occur following SMT. Objectives To assess the immediate pain response in patients with shoulder pain following thoracic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) using pressure pain threshold (PPT), and to assess the relationship of change in pain sensitivity to patient-rated outcomes of pain and function following treatment. Design Randomized Controlled Study. Methods Subjects with unilateral subacromial impingement syndrome (n = 45) were randomly assigned to receive treatment with thoracic SMT or sham thoracic SMT. PPT was measured at the painful shoulder (deltoid) and unaffected regions (contralateral deltoid and bilateral lower trapezius areas) immediately pre- and post-treatment. Patient-rated outcomes were pain (numeric pain rating scale – NPRS), function (Pennsylvania Shoulder Score – Penn), and global rating of change (GROC). Results There were no significant differences between groups in pre-to post-treatment changes in PPT (p ≥ 0.583) nor were there significant changes in PPT within either group (p ≥ 0.372) following treatment. NPRS, Penn and GROC improved across both groups (p < 0.001), but there were no differences between the groups (p ≥ 0.574). Conclusion There were no differences in pressure pain sensitivity between participants receiving thoracic SMT versus sham thoracic SMT. Both groups had improved patient-rated pain and function within 24–48 h of treatment, but there was no difference in outcomes between the groups.

Understanding potential impacts of E. lehmanniana on A. palmeri is critical for anticipating the future of the desert community where they coexist and for addressing management concerns about associated threatened and endangered species. Our study provides strong indications that E. lehmanniana negatively impacts A. palmeri in several ways. Areas of high E. lehmanniana abundance were associated with significantly lower densities and greater relative frequencies of small A. palmeri, suggesting that E. lehmanniana may exclude A. palmeri. There were no significant differences in species richness, abundance, or community composition when comparing flower associates associated with A. palmeri in areas of high and low E. lehmanniana abundance. However, we did find significantly lower connectedness within the pollination network associated with A. palmeri in areas with high E. lehmanniana abundance. Although E. lehmanniana forms thick stands that would presumably increase fire frequency, there was no significant association between E. lehmanniana and fire frequency. Interestingly, medium to high densities of A. palmeri were associated with areas of greater fire frequency. The complex ramifications of E. lehmanniana invasion for the long-lived A. palmeri and interlinked desert community warrant continued study, as these species are likely to continue to be found in close association due to their similar soil preferences.

From April 2001-December 2005, 1,848 small mammals were captured. Apodemus agrarius accounted for 92.5%, followed by Mus musculus (3.6%), Crocidura lasiura (2.1%), and Microtus fortis (1.1%). Three species of rodents were found to be antibody-positive (Ab+) for Hantaan virus (HTNV): A. agrarius (22.3%), M. musculus (9.1%), and M. fortis (5.0%). Ab+ rates for A. agrarius increased with increasing weight (age), except for those weighing <10 g. he peak HTNV transmission period in Korea coincided with the peak reproductive potential of A. agrarius during the fall (August/September) surveys. HTNV strains from DNTA were distinct from HTNV strains from the People's Republic of China. From these studies, more accurate risk assessments can be developed to better protect personnel from rodent-borne diseases.

Most of those soil samples were collected as discrete samples, and despite the efforts of those who collected them, the sampling results were often difficult at best to interpret. Relatively recently some professionals in the environmental field have advanced an approach generally known as incremental sampling. Incremental sampling tackles head-on many of the thorny issues that challenge every soil sampling campaign, and it is finding wider acceptance. The time is ripe for a national—or perhaps even international—dialogue concerning incremental sampling, particularly as it seems to address many of the shortcomings of common soil sampling practices.

SN - 07490208 AB - Bedform (ripple) geometry is an important feature in the nearshore that can significantly enhance wave energy dissipation. Ripples regulate wave transformation and influence the sediment transport phenomenon. These issues are of particular importance when determining beach erosion and investigating other coastal processes. Although numerous studies have addressed the issue of bedform geometry under surface gravity waves, no single model is considered adequate. The reintive roughness and subsequent wave energy dissipation are governed by attributes that include ripple height and wavelength. The comparatively large wave tank facility at Davidson Laboratory (Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on the Hudson, Hoboken, New Jersey) provided an ideal opportunity for investigating bedform features for a flat bed, as well as the novel study of a sloped sediment bed. Our results provide new data that strengthen prior relationships and demonstrate that a sloped surface may be modeled in a similar fashion to a flat sediment bed. We have successfully compared irregular waves from the laboratory to field measurements and selected an existing model that is consisttnt with our data. Perhaps one of the most significant conclusions from this research is that the identified models for ripple dimensions on the flat surface predict values for bedform geometry on the sloped surface as well.

They also suggest the failure of the authors to check the validity of LS-DYNA model used for overtopping rate calculation.

The objective of this study was to examine the uptake of Cs+ by common structural materials in the presence of water by using batch experiments with nonradioactive cesium chloride (CsCl133) as a surrogate for the radionuclide. Uptake kinetics and adsorption isotherms of Cs+ were measured on a diverse set of building materials, as were the effects of pH on the sorption processes. The results showed that wood materials, metal filings, and organic building materials and supplies did not sorb significant amounts of Cs+, but red brick, concrete block, drop ceiling panels, and clay materials retained Cs+ strongly. Adsorption kinetics were fast, and sorption isotherms could be characterized as linear. The solution pH did not have a significant effect on Cs+ sorption.

Valuable assessments of the genetic status of endangered species are difficult in most cases, where only single sample estimates are available. Using historical and contemporary samples, we assessed the impact of both historical and recent demographic changes on population genetics of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler, ( Dendroica chrysoparia). Our study documents a steep decline in genetic diversity in an endangered species over a 100-year period, along with concurrent increase in genetic differentiation, and low contemporary effective sizes for all the populations we evaluated. While adding to the growing body of literature that describes the genetic impacts of habitat fragmentation, our study may also serve as an informative guide to future management of endangered species. Our study underlines the importance of long term population genetic monitoring in understanding the full extent of genetic changes in endangered species.

SN - 13850237 AB - A fundamental goal of restoration is the re-establishment of plant diversity representative of native vegetation. However, many prairie restorations or Conservation Reserve Program sites have been seeded with warm-season grasses, leading to grass-dominated, low-diversity restorations not representative of native grasslands. These dominant grasses are strongly mycotrophic, while many subordinate forb species appear to be less dependent on mycorrhizal symbiosis. Therefore, manipulating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may be useful in promoting establishment and growth of forb species in grass-dominated prairie restorations. To assess the potential role of mycorrhizae in affecting the productivity and community composition of restored tallgrass prairie, we conducted a 4-year field experiment on an 8-year-old grassland restoration at the Konza Prairie in northeastern Kansas, USA. At the initiation of our study, seeds of 12 forb species varying in degree of mycorrhizal dependence were added to established grass-dominated plots. Replicate plots were treated bi-weekly with a soil drench of fungicide (Topsin-M) over four growing seasons and compared to non-treated control plots to assess the role of AMF in affecting plant species composition, productivity, leaf tissue quality, and diversity in restored tallgrass prairie. Topsin applications successfully reduced mycorrhizal colonization of grass roots to approximately 60-80% relative to roots in control plots. Four years of mycorrhizal suppression reduced productivity of the dominant grasses and increased plant species richness and diversity. These results highlight the importance of mycorrhizae as mediators of plant productivity and community dynamics in restored tallgrass prairie and indicate that temporarily suppressing AMF decreases productivity of the dominant C4 grasses and allows for establishment of seeded forb species.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2011/10// VL - 8 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 588 EP - 599 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15459624 AB - Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to clothing and equipment designed to protect individuals from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive hazards. The materials used to provide this protection may exacerbate thermal strain by limiting heat and water vapor transfer. Any new PPE must therefore be evaluated to ensure that it poses no greater thermal strain than the current standard for the same level of hazard protection. This review describes how such evaluations are typically conducted. Comprehensive evaluation of PPE begins with a biophysical assessment of materials using a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal resistance and water vapor permeability). These characteristics are then evaluated on a thermal manikin wearing the PPE, since thermal properties may change once the materials have been constructed into a garment. These data may be used in biomedical models to predict thermal strain under a variety of environmental and work conditions. When the biophysical data indicate that the evaporative resistance (ratio of permeability to insulation) is significantly better than the current standard, the PPE is evaluated through human testing in controlled laboratory conditions appropriate for the conditions under which the PPE would be used if fielded. Data from each phase of PPE evaluation are used in predictive models to determine user guidelines, such as maximal work time, work/rest cycles, and fluid intake requirements. By considering thermal stress early in the development process, health hazards related to temperature extremes can be mitigated while maintaining or improving the effectiveness of the PPE for protection from external hazards.

Fifteen adult I. unicuspis attached to paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) were collected in Apr. 2005 from the White River near the confluence of the Black River, Independence and Jackson counties. Twelve (80%) of the I. unicuspis possessed 3 teeth (including the apex) in the anterior row, while the other 3 had 4 teeth in their anterior row; unicuspid teeth arrangement in the lateral row were 3 + 3 for 11 (73%) lampreys while 4 had 4 + 4 teeth in the lateral row. Two additional specimens collected in Apr. 1972 and May 1998 from the Buffalo anti White rivers in Marion and Prairie counties, respectively, and originally identified as Chestnut Lampreys (Ichthyomyzon castaneus), were re-examined and identified as I. unicuspis. The addition of I unicuspis to the lamprey fauna of Arkansas brings to five the number of species currently occurring in the state.

Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (>1.0 in. in 3 h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin's land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: We evaluate and quantify the effects of human, robot, and environmental factors on perceived trust in human-robot interaction (HRI).Background: To date, reviews of trust in HRI have been qualitative or descriptive. Our quantitative review provides a fundamental empirical foundation to advance both theory and practice.Method: Meta-analytic methods were applied to the available literature on trust and HRI. A total of 29 empirical studies were collected, of which 10 met the selection criteria for correlational analysis and 11 for experimental analysis. These studies provided 69 correlational and 47 experimental effect sizes.Results: The overall correlational effect size for trust was r̄ = +0.26, with an experimental effect size of d̄ = +0.71. The effects of human, robot, and environmental characteristics were examined with an especial evaluation of the robot dimensions of performance and attribute-based factors. The robot performance and attributes were the largest contributors to the development of trust in HRI. Environmental factors played only a moderate role.Conclusion: Factors related to the robot itself, specifically, its performance, had the greatest current association with trust, and environmental factors were moderately associated. There was little evidence for effects of human-related factors.Application: The findings provide quantitative estimates of human, robot, and environmental factors influencing HRI trust. Specifically, the current summary provides effect size estimates that are useful in establishing design and training guidelines with reference to robot-related factors of HRI trust. Furthermore, results indicate that improper trust calibration may be mitigated by the manipulation of robot design. However, many future research needs are identified.

This paper uses data from the 1986 study to compare fines content data from in situ frozen and standard penetration test (SPT) samples that suggest fines content can be overestimated by 1-10% by SPT samples in stratified sand deposits. This result may have implications for liquefaction assessments because split-spoon samples may overestimate the actual fines content, resulting in a liquefiable deposit being classified as nonliquefiable. In addition, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of ground freezing on maintaining in situ soil structure and aging of the foundation sands at Milford Dam.

La présente étude utilise les données recueillies lors de l'étude de 1986 afin de comparer le contenu en particules fines d'échantillons in situ gelés ainsi que d'échantillons provenant d'essais de pénétration standard (EPS). Ces données suggèrent que le contenu en particules fines peut être surestimé de 1 à 10 % pour les échantillons d'EPS prélevés dans des dépôts de sable stratifié. Ce résultat peut avoir des implications dans l'évaluation de la liquéfaction puisque les échantillons de cuillère fendue peuvent surestimer le contenu en particules fines et ainsi le dépôt liquéfiable est classé comme non-liquéfiable. De plus, cet article évalue l'efficacité de conserver le sol gelé pour maintenir la structure in situ du sol et pour le vieillissement des sables de fondation au barrage de Milford.

The probable maximum precipitation in the watershed under consideration and its distribution in time during the acting storm is estimated. Considering the effects of the local geology, soil, topography, and land use, a random representation of the storm hourly rain is translated into effective runoff, including losses due to evaporation, interception, and surface retention. The uncertainty in the hydrological characteristics of the drainage basin is captured by a random time to concentration. Random hourly unit graphs are constructed analytically for a convex watershed and convoluted with the storm time-history to result in the random hydrograph for the inflow flood into the reservoir of the dam system. Flood routing through the reservoir is then computed with or without noise in the model. The deterministic path leads to a hydrograph for the water level at the barrier upstream face. The stochastic path evaluates through simulation the probability density function of variates (at discrete times) of the nonstationary random process of this pool level. The characterization of the reservoir-pool maxima allows the estimation of the probability of barrier overtopping.

The unstructured, implicit, Petrov-Galerkin finite-element model relies on computed residuals to automatically adjust the time-step size. The implicit time integration, together with the automatic time-step size selection through PTC, makes the model computationally efficient. The model is verified and applied to several analytic and real-world test cases that exercise model behavior and accuracy for several critical, transcritical, and subcritical flows. The result is an efficient and accurate prediction of both the speed and depth of shock waves as the dam-break flow passes over initially dry and wet land.

When selecting or developing effective treatments for bromine burns, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing. This study investigated the effect of cutaneous bromine vapor exposure on gene expression using a weanling swine burn model by microarray analysis. Ventral abdominal sites were exposed to a mean calculated bromine vapor concentration of 0.51 g/L for 7 or 17 min. At 6 h, 48 h, and 7 days post-exposure, total RNA from skin samples was isolated, processed, and analyzed with Affymetrix GeneChip®® Porcine Genome Arrays (N == 3 per experimental group). Differences in gene expression were observed with respect to exposure duration and sampling time. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed four common biological functions (cancer, cellular movement, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, and tissue development) among the top ten functions of each experimental group, while canonical pathway analysis revealed 9 genes (ARG2, CCR1, HMOX1, ATF2, IL-8, TIMP1, ESR1, HSPAIL, and SELE) that were commonly shared among four significantly altered signaling pathways. Among these, the transcripts encoding HMOX1 and ESR1 were identified using IPA as common potential therapeutic targets for Phase II/III clinical trial or FDA-approved drugs. The present study describes the transcriptional responses to cutaneous bromine vapor exposure identifying molecular networks and genes that could serve as targets for developing therapeutics for bromine-induced skin injury.

The objective of this paper is to quantify the temperature influence on the skid number of asphalt pavement surfaces when measured by the locked-wheel friction tester. Specifically, this study aims to determine an adjustment factor for friction readings to a standard reference temperature, removing the seasonal temperature variations influencing measurements. This allows agencies to improve the comparison of pavement sections and to provide a more objective assessment of pavement conditions for safety. The friction database employed is from the National Center for Asphalt Technology Test Track facility. The data includes friction measurements with a locked-wheel trailer on sections from the 2000 and 2003 research cycles. The approach calculates the temperature adjustment factor, CT, from a grouping of the data by temperature values at the time of the measurements. The results show that it is possible to define a reference temperature to adjust friction measured at any other temperature value. The reference temperature identified is between 19.5°C (67.1°F) and 20.2°C (68.4°F). The study concludes that when testing, if the air temperature is greater than the reference temperature, the friction reading is biased by a positive quantity. Therefore the adjustment factor, CT, reduces the measured friction, whereas for measurements performed at temperatures lower than the reference temperature, CT increases the measured friction.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2011/08// VL - 139 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2488 EP - 2522 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - Hurricane Gustav (2008) made landfall in southern Louisiana on 1 September 2008 with its eye never closer than 75 km to New Orleans, but its waves and storm surge threatened to flood the city. Easterly tropical-storm-strength winds impacted the region east of the Mississippi River for 12--15 h, allowing for early surge to develop up to 3.5 m there and enter the river and the city''s navigation canals. During landfall, winds shifted from easterly to southerly, resulting in late surge development and propagation over more than 70 km of marshes on the river''s west bank, over more than 40 km of Caernarvon marsh on the east bank, and into Lake Pontchartrain to the north. Wind waves with estimated significant heights of 15 m developed in the deep Gulf of Mexico but were reduced in size once they reached the continental shelf. The barrier islands further dissipated the waves, and locally generated seas existed behind these effective breaking zones. The hardening and innovative deployment of gauges since Hurricane Katrina (2005) resulted in a wealth of measured data for Gustav. A total of 39 wind wave time histories, 362 water level time histories, and 82 high water marks were available to describe the event. Computational models--including a structured-mesh deepwater wave model (WAM) and a nearshore steady-state wave (STWAVE) model, as well as an unstructured-mesh ''simulating waves nearshore'' (SWAN) wave model and an advanced circulation (ADCIRC) model--resolve the region with unprecedented levels of detail, with an unstructured mesh spacing of 100--200 m in the wave-breaking zones and 20--50 m in the small-scale channels. Data-assimilated winds were applied using NOAA''s Hurricane Research Division Wind Analysis System (H**Wind) and Interactive Objective Kinematic Analysis (IOKA) procedures. Wave and surge computations from these models are validated comprehensively at the measurement locations ranging from the deep Gulf of Mexico and along the coast to the rivers and floodplains of southern Louisiana and are described and quantified within the context of the evolution of the storm.

To describe the fate of contaminants through landscape media as well as spatial variations of contaminant distributions, physical transport and transformation processes in CTT&F are simulated for each cell in the model and routed to the watershed outlet. CTT&F simulates contaminant erosion from soil and transport across the land surface by overland flow. The model also simulates contaminant erosion from stream bed sediment and transport through channels in addition to transport of contaminants inputs by overland flow. CTT&F can simulate solid (granular) contaminant transport and transformation, including partitioning between freely dissolved, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) bound, and particle-sorbed phases. To demonstrate model capabilities, CTT&F was coupled with an existing distributed hydrologic model and was tested and validated to simulate RDX and TNT transport using two experimental plots. These experiments examined dissolution of solid contaminants into the dissolved phase and their subsequent transport to the plot outlet. Model results were in close agreement with measured data. Such a model provides information for decision makers to make rational decisions relevant to the fate of toxic compounds.

Accordingly, a series of experiments were performed to obtain site-specific sorption coefficients (Kd) for use in computer simulations. Experiments employing aqueous, reagent-grade contaminants, with a biocide added, showed NG underwent limited sorption onto the sandy soil from the study area. DNTs were retained to a greater extent. Desorption experiments demonstrated a portion of the contaminants were irreversibly bound. Soil characteristics had a significant effect on Kd, apparently because of changes in organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, and/or clay content with depth in the soil profile. Experiments with NG containing soil, fresh, unfired propellant, or with freshly fired propellant produced partitioning values considerably higher than those observed with reagent grade material added from solution—demonstrating dissolution as the rate-limiting step. The apparent Kd also increased significantly when no biocide was used, thereby indicating a major role for biodegradation. In addition, NG and the DNTs introduced during military training did not leach from site soil at the small arms ranges studied. Taken together these data demonstrate that Kds from laboratory experiments using dissolved reagent-grade compounds are not appropriate for predicting NG and DNT mobility in the field.

JO - Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering JF - Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering Y1 - 2011/08// VL - 137 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 501 EP - 512 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339437 AB - In many agricultural regions of the West, decades of intensive irrigation have produced shallow water tables under not only cultivated fields but also the nearby uncultivated land. It is possible that the high water tables under the uncultivated lands are substantially increasing evapotranspiration (ET) rates, which would represent an unnatural and potentially nonbeneficial consumptive use. The objective of this paper is to quantify loss of water that occurs from uncultivated lands in a semiarid irrigated river valley (the Lower Arkansas River Valley in southeastern Colorado). A remote-sensing algorithm is used to estimate actual ET rates on 16 dates on the basis of Landsat satellite images. On the same dates, water table depths, soil moisture values, and soil water salinities are measured at up to 84 wells distributed across three study sites. On the basis of a water balance of the root zone, it is estimated that 78% of the ET is supplied by groundwater upflux at these sites. It is also observed that the ET and groundwater upflux decrease with increasing water table depth. A regression analysis indicates that the spatial variations in ET are most closely related to variations in vegetation-related attributes, whereas soil moisture and water table depths also explain substantial amounts of the variation. Valley-wide implications for reducing nonbeneficial ET through water table control also are discussed.

In the one-year bioassay, impacts were assessed by statistical comparisons of females from breeding groups reared in control or RDX-exposure conditions. The RDX had no significant effect on gonadosomatic index or condition factor assayed at 1 d and at one, three, six, nine, and 12 months. The liver-somatic index was significantly increased versus controls only at the 12-month timepoint. RDX had no significant effect on live-prey capture rates, egg production, or fertilization. RDX caused minimal differential-transcript expression with no consistent discernable effect on gene-functional categories for either brain or liver tissues in the one-year exposure. In the multigenerational assay, the effects of acute (96 h) exposure to RDX were compared in fish reared to the F2 generation in either control or RDX-exposure conditions. Enrichment of gene functions including neuroexcitatory glutamate metabolism, sensory signaling, and neurological development were observed comparing control-reared and RDX-reared fish. Our results indicated that exposure to RDX at a concentration representing the highest levels observed in the environment (0.83 mg/L) had limited impacts on genomic, individual, and population-level endpoints in fathead minnows in a one-year exposure. However, multigenerational exposures altered transcript expression related to neural development and function [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America harbours many rare and endemic species, yet their evolution is poorly understood. We investigate the rare Sandhills lily ( Lilium pyrophilum), which is endemic to seepage slopes in a restricted area of the Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America. Using phylogenetic evidence from chloroplast, nuclear internal transcribed spacer and two low-copy nuclear genes, we establish a close relationship between L. pyrophilum and the widespread Turk's cap lily, L. superbum. Isolation-with-migration and coalescent simulation analyses suggest that (i) the divergence between these two species falls in the late Pleistocene or Holocene and almost certainly post-dates the establishment of the edaphic conditions to which L. pyrophilum is presently restricted, (ii) vicariance is responsible for the present range disjunction between the two species, and that subsequent gene flow has been asymmetrical and (iii) L. pyrophilum harbours substantial genetic diversity in spite of its present rarity. This system provides an example of the role of edaphic specialization and climate change in promoting diversification in the Atlantic coastal plain.

The method validated herein consists of measuring rates of bed scour by using time-sequenced bathymetric data. The validation is performed in a laboratory flume by comparing the measured rates of bed scour with direct measurements of bed-load transport. The bed forms in the flume are dunes traveling at nearly constant speed. The shape of the dunes remains nearly constant. No suspended load is present. The ranges for Froude and Rouse numbers are 0.24-0.50 and 4.6-10.4, respectively. The study shows that under the given conditions, bed-load transport determined from time-sequenced bathymetric data is equally accurate to that determined from measurements of bed-form amplitude and speed. Obtaining bed-load transport from time-sequenced bathymetric data is often more expedient than traditional methods.

Streamflow timing shifts associated with climate change would degrade the water resources system performance for climate change scenarios using existing system operation policies for the Columbia River Basin. To mitigate the hydrologic impacts of anticipated climate change on this complex water resource system, optimized flood control operating rule curves were developed at a monthly time step in a previous study and were evaluated with a monthly time-step simulation model. Here, a daily time-step simulation model is used over a smaller portion of the domain to evaluate and refine the optimized flood-control curves derived from monthly time-step analysis. Daily time-step simulations demonstrate that maximum evacuation targets for flood control derived from the monthly analysis were remarkably robust. However, the evacuation schedules for Libby and Duncan Dams from February to April conflicted with Kootenay Lake level requirements specified in the 1938 International Joint Commission Order on Kootenay Lake. We refined the flood rule curves derived from monthly analysis by creating a gradual evacuation schedule, keeping the timing and magnitude of maximum evacuation the same as in the monthly analysis. After these refinements, the performance at monthly timescales reported in our previous study proved robust at daily timescales. Owing to a decrease in July storage deficits, additional benefits such as more revenue from hydropower generation and more July and August outflow for fish augmentation were observed when the optimized flood-control curves were used for a climate-change scenario.

Two primary sets of experiments were undertaken to assess (1) the ability of SSF to immobilize 100 mg/kg arsenite (As3+) and arsenate (As5+) in dredged material when blended with SSF, including slag cement doses (up to 2%) to determine if additional environmental polishing was necessary; and (2) the ability of SSF alone to immobilize each As species. Visually, the SSF materials resemble an AASHTO No. 9 (fine) aggregate, with a small fraction passing the No. 200 (0.075 mm) sieve. In order to establish the design parameters for deploying the slag media in geoenvironmental applications (soil blending, drainage, reactive trenches, and filters), the soil classification and grain-size distribution, specific gravity, loss on ignition (ash content), standard and modified Proctor compaction behavior, direct shear strength, and swell behavior of the SSF media were evaluated. Additionally, the following geochemical attributes of the SSF media were evaluated: bulk chemistry, mineralogy, pH, anion scan, total priority pollutant list (PPL) metals, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) leaching behavior for PPL metals. Arsenic thresholding studies were performed, in which the uptake of each As source on the SSF materials was evaluated. The SSF materials immobilized approximately 7,900 mg/kgAs3+ and 8,800 mg/kgAs5+, producing TCLP and SPLP concentrations less than 0.010 mg/L in three of four cases. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were used in combination with MINTEQ modeling to isolate the mechanisms responsible for the As immobilization in the SSF materials.

The amendments included granulated ferric oxide (GFO), granulated titanium dioxide (GTD), Pahokee peat soil (PPS), Gascoyne leonardite soil (GLS), Elliot silty loam soil (ESLS), calcium phosphate monobasic (CPM), and apatite II. The metal oxides and the organic soil amendments were applied at a dosage of 10%, and phosphates were applied at phosphorus to lead (P/Pb) molar ratio of 1.8. The experimental results indicated that GFO was superior to all materials tested for simultaneously stabilizing Cu, Pb, and W during the batch leaching tests. Flow-through column tests were conducted for one of the soil samples to test the effectiveness of GFO to immobilize Cu, Pb, and W. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, and W were significantly reduced in the effluent of the amended soil columns as compared with the control soil columns.

We confront these issues with an emphasis on learning from the incident in Japan for future US policy discussions. Without delving into a broader philosophical discussion of the general social acceptance of the risk, the relative adequacy of existing US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) risk thresholds is assessed in comparison with the risk thresholds of federal agencies not currently under heightened public scrutiny. Existing NRC thresholds are found to be among the most conservative in the comparison, suggesting that the agency's current regulatory framework is consistent with larger societal ideals. In turning to risk assessment methodologies, the disaster in Japan does indicate room for growth. Emerging lessons seem to indicate an opportunity to enhance resilience through systemic levels of risk aggregation. Specifically, we believe bringing systemic reasoning to the risk management process requires a framework that (i) is able to represent risk-based knowledge and information about a panoply of threats; (ii) provides a systemic understanding (and representation) of the natural and built environments of interest and their dependencies; and (iii) allows for the rational and coherent valuation of a range of outcome variables of interest, both tangible and intangible. Rather than revisiting the thresholds themselves, we see the goal of future nuclear risk management in adopting and implementing risk assessment techniques that systemically evaluate large-scale socio-technical systems with a view toward enhancing resilience and minimizing the potential for surprise.

JO - Wildlife Monographs JF - Wildlife Monographs Y1 - 2011/07// IS - 177 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 38 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00840173 AB - Military lands are a valuable resource in recovery of threatened, endangered, and at-risk species worldwide and have the highest density of threatened and endangered species of all major land management agencies in the United States. Many red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) that reside on federal lands occur on 15 military installations in the southeastern United States. This close association has increased concern over potential conflicts between conservation requirements of endangered species and the military's mission of combat readiness. Our objectives were to 1) determine if military training operations affect behavior, reproductive success, and productivity of red-cockaded woodpeckers; 2) develop a frequency-weighting function to assess woodpecker hearing sensitivity; 3) identify factors that affect woodpecker responses to military training operations; 4) develop distance and dose-response thresholds for quantifying woodpecker responses to noise levels and stimulus distances; 5) characterize military training operations through quantification of sound levels, source identification, distance from active woodpecker nests, frequency spectra, duration, and frequency of occurrence; and 6) document baseline woodpecker nesting behavior. We conducted our study on the Fort Stewart Military Installation located in southeast Georgia, USA. Downy woodpeckers, as surrogates for red-cockaded woodpeckers, had their best hearing sensitivity within the peak range of the power spectrum of both downy and red-cockaded woodpecker vocalizations, which is at a higher frequency than that of a typical passerine. Overall, woodpeckers had a reduced auditory sensitivity relative to human hearing sensitivity and other species of small birds, especially in the frequency range >4 kHz. Woodpeckers were most sensitive in the 1.5- to 4.0-kHz range. Sensitivity appeared to drop off quickly at frequencies <1.0 kHz and >4.0 kHz. Overall, we did not find that the woodpecker-frequency-weigh ting function we developed provided a better predictor of woodpecker flush response compared with A-weighting. More research is needed to better understand the relationship between frequency-weigh ting functions and woodpecker response behavior. Potential breeding groups of woodpeckers across the population increased from 158 in 1997 to 181 in 2000, whereas nesting groups increased from 141 in 1998 to 170 in 2000, for overall increases of 14.6% and 20.6%, respectively, over the 3 years of this project. Fledging success rates for individual nests within the overall population remained consistent from 1998 to 2000, averaging 84.4%. Mean clutch sizes for woodpecker groups for 1998 to 2000 ranged from 2.75 to 3.01 eggs/nest, brood size ranged from 2.01 to 2.22 nestlings/nest, whereas the average number of young fledged ranged from 1.57 to 1.76 young/ occupied nest. We observed no difference in reproductive success or productivity between experimental and control-tested red-cockaded woodpecker groups. Overall, experimental test groups produced an average of 2.98 eggs/nest, 1.89 nestlings/nest, and 1.54 young/occupied nest from 1999 to 2000, compared with 2.73 eggs/nest, 1.91 nestlings/nest, and 1.57 young/occupied nest at control groups. We measured behavioral responses (nest attendance and arrivals and departures from the nest) of red-cockaded woodpeckers to military training events through direct and indirect (i.e., video surveillance) observation of 464.5 hours of woodpecker nesting behavior before and after controlled experimental events while recording and characterizing military-generated sound events using sound-recording equipment. We presented woodpeckers with actual 0.50-caliber blank machine gun fire and artillery simulators from controlled distances to develop distance and sound thresholds. We used video surveillance to document potential behavioral responses of woodpeckers primarily during nonexperimental military training operations in areas that could not be safely monitored and to determine baseline woodpecker nesting behaviors. We recorded 2,846 nonexperimental military noise events in 157 data sessions at 50 red-cockaded woodpecker groups from 1998 to 2000. We also recorded 206 experimental tests at 58 woodpecker groups during 1999 and 2000. Life-table analyses of flush response time showed that at short ranges (15-30 m) the flush response was stronger for artillery simulator blasts than for blank fire in both the incubation and the nestling phases. In contrast, at medium distances (45-60 m) blank fire tended to produce more flush responses than artillery fire in both incubation and nestling phases. At longer distances (>60 m), blank fire and artillery produced similar flush responses in the incubation phase, whereas flush response was stronger for blank fire than for artillery in the nestling phase. In general, most animals that responded to military activity flushed within 5 seconds of the stimulus event. Woodpeckers returned to nests within an average of 4.4 minutes after being flushed by artillery simulators and 6.3 minutes after 0.50-caliber blank-fire tests. Woodpecker flush response rates increased as stimulus distance decreased and sound levels increased, regardless of stimulus type or year. Woodpeckers did not flush from nests when 0.50-caliber blank machine gun fire and artillery simulators were >152 m away and sound-exposure levels (decibels [dB]) were <68 dBW (woodpecker-based frequency-weighting curve) and <65 dBW, respectively. We found that blast treatments reduced arrival rates of adults at the nest, with the amount of reduction dependent on the type of blast stimulus and number of helpers at the nest. On the other hand, blast treatments had no detectable effects on nest attendance. The effect of blank fire on incubation-phase arrivals over a 30-minute interval (about 40% reduction) was nearly twice that of artillery simulator fire (about a 20% reduction). There was no evidence supporting any effect of stimulus type on arrivals during the nestling phase. Blast stimuli during incubation reduced arrivals by 40% when no helpers were present, but the strength of this effect decreased to 28% when one helper was present, and was only 6% for nests with ≥2 helpers. Distance of the blast from the nest did not affect the response of arrival rates to blast treatments. Infrequent, short-duration military training exercises, as measured, did not appear to substantially impact red-cockaded woodpecker reproductive success and productivity on the Fort Stewart Military Installation. Our results may be applicable to other military installations where similar training activities and intensity levels occur. Additional research is needed to address possible habituation or sensitization of red-cockaded woodpeckers to human activities in proximity to active nest sites. Although we attempted to monitor woodpecker response to a number of military training activities, other types of military training operations or human-based activities with louder noise, longer duration, increased human presence, and greater frequency of occurrence could more negatively influence woodpecker nesting behavior and need to be investigated. Our results do not support the hypothesis that military maneuver training operations are limiting factors in the recovery of red-cockaded woodpeckers on military installations, based on our level and type of testing. Natural resource management policies on military installations have had a positive influence on the recovery of red-cockaded woodpeckers and probably outweigh the negative effects of typical military training.

Un gran porcentaje de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja (Picoides borealis) que residen en tierras federales, ocurren en quince instalaciones militares en el suroeste de EEUU. Tal estrecha asociación ha incrementado preocupaciones con los conflictos potenciales entre los requerimientos de conservación de especies en peligro de extinción y la misión militar de mantener la preparación para combate. El objetivo de esta investigación fue para 1) determinar si las operaciones de entrenamiento militar afectan a la conducta y capacidad de reproducción de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja; 2) desarrollar una función de carga de frecuencia para estimar la sensibilidad del oído de los datos de repuesta del tronco cerebral auditorio del los pájaros carpinteros peludos como especie substituto por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja; 3) identificar los factores que afectan las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a las operaciones del entrenamiento militar; 4) desarrollar umbrales de distancia y de respuesta de dosis para cuantificar las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a los niveles de ruidos y a las distancias de los estímulos; 5) caracterizar las operaciones de entrenamiento militar por la cuantificación de las niveles de sonido, identificación del origen, la distancia de los nidos activos de los pajaraos carpinteros, espectros de frecuencia, duración, y frecuencia de ocurrencia; y 6) documentar el base del la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros. Conducimos estas investigaciones en Fort Stewart, localizados en el suroeste del estado de Georgia, EEUU. Los pájaros carpinteros peludos, como sustitutos por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja, exhibieron su mejor sensibilidad del oído dentro del máximo rango del espectro de poder de ambos vocalizaciones de los pájaros carpinteros y los pájaros peludos, cual es en una frecuencia mas alta que la paseriformes típicas. En general, los pájaros carpinteros tenían una sensibilidad auditoria reducida en relación a la sensibilidad auditoria humana y a los otros especies de pájaros pequeños, especialmente in el rango mas alto de 4 kHz. Los pájaros carpinteros eran los mas sensibles en el rango de 1.5-4.0 kHz. La sensibilidad pareció caerse rápidamente alas frecuencias debajo de 1.0 kHz y masque 4.0 kHz. En general, no encontramos que la función de carga de frecuencia de los pájaros carpinteros que fue desarrollado como parte de este proyecto proveyó un mejor predictor de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza comparado con una curva de ponderación A. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para entender mejor la relación entre funciones de ponderación de frecuencia y la respuesta de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros. Medimos las reacciones de comportamiento (nido de asistencia, y llegadas y salidas del nido) de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja a los eventos de entrenamiento militar por observación directa y indirecta (es decir, video vigilancia), observación de 464.5 horas de la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros antes y después del los eventos experimentales controlados, mientras que simultáneamente grabamos y caracterizamos los eventos de ruidos originados por el militar con equipo de grabar. Los pájaros carpinteros fueron enfrentados con fuego en blanco de ametralladora de calibre 0.50 o de simuladores de artillería de distancias controladas para desarrollar los umbrales de distancia y sonido. La vigilancia video fue utilizado para documentar la reacción potencial de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros primariamente durante operaciones del entrenamiento militar no experimental en los áreas en que no se pudiera monitorizar sin peligroy para determinar un base del la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros. Grabamos 2,846 eventos no experimentales de ruidos militares durante 157 sesiones con 50 grupos de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja del año 1998 por 2000. También grabamos 206 pruebas experimentales con 58 grupos de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja durante 1999-2000. Análisis de tabla-vida de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza enseñan que a corta distancia (15-30 m), la respuesta de levantar era mas fuerte para simulador de explosiones de artillería que para fuego en blanco en ambos fases de incubación y de cría. En contraste, a las distancias medianas (45-60 m), el fuego en blanco tenia la tendencia a producir mas respuestas de levantar que fuego de artillería en ambos fases de incubación y de cría. A las distancias mas largas (>60 m), el fuego en blanco y de artillería produjeron respuestas de levantar similares en el fase de incubación, mientras que la respuesta de levantar era mas fuerte para fuego en blanco que para artillería en el fase de cría. En general, la mayor parte de los animales que respondieron a la actividad militar se levantaron dentro 5 secundas del evento de estímulo. Los pájaros carpinteros regresaron a los nidos dentro 4.4 minutos, por término medio, después de haber estado levantado de pieza por los simuladores de artillería, y 6.3 minutos después de pruebas con fuego en blanco de de ametralladora de calibre 0.50. La tasa de respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza se aumentó cuando se disminuyó la distancia del estimulo y cuando se aumentó los niveles do los sonidos, a pesar del tipo del estimulo o del año. Los pájaros carpinteros no se levantaron de la pieza cuando fuego en blanco de ametralladora de calibre 0.50 y simuladores de artillería estaban >152 m de distancia y los niveles de exposición a sonidos estaban <68 dBW (ponderación de frecuencia basada en pájaros carpinteros) y 65 dBW, respectivamente. Encontramos que los tratamientos de explosiones redujeron la tasa de los llegados de adultos a los nidos en esta investigación, y la cantidad de reducción dependía en el tipo de estimulo de fuego y el numero de los ayudantes a los nidos. Por otra parte, los tratamientos de fuego no tenían efectos detectables en asistencia en los nidos es esta investigación. El efecto del fuego en blanco en llegados durante el fase de incubación por un intervalo de 30 minutos (una reducción acerca de 40%) era casi doble lo del fuego de artillería (acerca de 20%). No habia evidencia que soportaba que cualquier tipo del estimulo afectaba llegados durante el fase de cría. Los estímulos durante incubación redujeron llegados por 40% cuando no estaban ayudantes, pero la fuerza de este efecto se disminuyó a 28% cuando estaba un ayudante, y era 6% para nidos con dos o mas ayudantes. La distancia de la explosión del nido no afectaba la respuesta de la tasa de llegados a los tratamientos del las explosiones en esta investigación. Los pájaros carpinteros peludos, como sustitutos por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja, exhibieron su mejor sensibilidad del oído dentro del máximo rango del espectro de poder de ambos vocalizaciones de los pájaros carpinteros y los pájaros peludos, cual es en una frecuencia mas alta que la paseriformes típicas. En general, los pájaros carpinteros tenían una sensibilidad auditoria reducida en relación a la sensibilidad auditoria humana y a los otros especies de pájaros pequeños, especialmente in el rango mas alto de 4 kHz. Los pájaros carpinteros eran los mas sensibles en el rango de 1.5-4.0 kHz. La sensibilidad pareció caerse rápidamente a las frecuencias debajo de 1.0 kHz y mas que 4.0 kHz. En general, no encontramos que la función de carga de frecuencia de los pájaros carpinteros que fue desarrollado como parte de este proyecto proveyó un mejor predictor de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza comparado con una curva de ponderación A. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para entender mejor la relación entre funciones de ponderación de frecuencia y la respuesta de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros. Ejercicios militares infrecuentes, y de corta duración, como medidos, no aparecían a impactar significativamente al éxito reproductivo y productividad de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja en la instalación militar de Fort Stewart. Estos resultados podría ser aplicable a otras instalaciones militares donde ocurren actividades de entrenamiento y de niveles de intensidad similares. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para abordar la posible habitación o sensibilización de los pajaraos carpinteros de cresta roja a las actividades humanas en la proximidad de sitios de nidos activos. Aunque tratamos a monitorizar las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a varios actividades de entrenamiento militar, otros tipos de operaciones de entrenamiento militar o actividades humanos mas bulliciosos y prolongados, y con aun mas presencia humana, podría influirla conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros, y debe ser investigados. Nuestros resultados no soportan el hipótesis que las maniobras de formación son factores limitantes en el recobro de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja en las instalaciones militares basados en el nivel y tipo de las pruebas. Las políticas de administración de los recursos naturales en las instalaciones militares han tenido una influencia positiva en el recobro del pájaro carpintero de cresta roja y probablemente superan los efectos negativos del entrenamiento militar que esta llevando a cabo. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Les terrains appartenant aux services militaires constituent une ressource de haute valeur dans la récupération des espèces vulnérables, menacées et en voie de disparition à travers le monde. Aux Etats-Unis, ces terrains possèdent la densité par hectare la plus importante des espèces menacées et en voie de disparition de tous les bureaux fonciers notables. Une grande proportion de pics à face blanche (Picoides borealis) résidant sur les terrains du gouvernement fédéral occupe une quinzaine d'installations militaires dans le sud-est des Etats-Unis. Cette proximité a généré de la discorde entre l'obligation de conserver les espèces en voie de disparition et le but militaire de la préparation au combat. Les buts de l'étude ici présentée étaient de 1) déterminer si les exercices d'entraînement militaire ont une influence sur le comportement et la santé reproductrice du pic à face blanche, 2) développer une courbe de déformation de la fréquence destinée à estimer la sensitivité auditive du pic selon la réponse auditive du tronc cérébral (auditory brainstem response [ABR]) du pic mineur, étant une espèce succédanée des pics à face blanche, 3) identifier les facteurs agissant sur les réponses du pic aux exercices d'entraînement militaire, 4) développer des seuils de distance et de dose-réponse afin de quantifier la réaction du pic à face blanche aux bruits et aux différentes distances des stimuli, 5) caractériser les exercices d'entraînement militaire à travers une quantification de leurs propriétés sonores, leurs sources, leur spectre d'énergie acoustique, leur durée, leur fréquence, et 6) établir le comportement de nidification basique du pic à face blanche. Cette étude a été entreprise à Fort Stewart, dans le sud-est de la Georgie aux USA. Il a été établi que la meilleure sensibilité auditive des pics mineurs, comme espèce succédanée pour les pics à face blanche, se trouve à l'intérieur du points maximaux du spectre d'énergie des vocalisations du pic mineur et du pic à face blanche, ce qui se place à une plus haute fréquence que celle d'une passerine typique. Globalement, les pics possèdent une sensibilité auditive réduite par rapport aux êtres humains et les autres espèces de petits oiseaux, surtout dans les hautes fréquences. Les pics se sont montrés le plus sensible aux bruits dans la plage de 1,5 à 4,0 kHz. Cette sensibilité semblait diminuer brusquement aux fréquences en dessous de 1,0 kHz et celles supérieures à 4,0 kHz. Dans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouvé que la fonction de déformation de la fréquence des pics élaborée comme partie de ce projet de recherches donne de meilleures prédictions de réponses de dénidification des pics que celles générées par A-weighting. Davantage de recherches sont nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la relation entre les fonctions de déformation de fréquence et le comportement de réponse du pic. Nous avons mesuré les réponses du pic à face blanche (la présence au nid aussi bien que les arrivées et les départs du nid) aux vrais incidents d'entraînement militaire à travers l'observation directe et indirecte (la vidéo surveillance) de 464.5 heures de comportement de nidification du pic pendant que l'on enregistrait et catégorisait les événements sonores issus des exercices militaires avec des équipements d'enregistrement acoustique. Les pics ont été mis en présence de vraie fusillade de mitrailleuse à calibre 0,50 et des simulateurs d'artillerie à des distances contrôlées afin de pouvoir mesurer les seuils de distance et de son. La vidéosurveillance a été employée pour enregistrer la réponse du pic aux entraînements militaires passifs dans les endroits ou l'observation directe auraient été hasardeuse et pour déterminer la ligne de fond des comportements de nidification du pic. Nous avons enregistré 2.846 événements passifs de bruit militaire lors de 157 séances de collecte de données auprès de 50 groupes de pics à face blanche de 1998 à 2000. Nous avons également enregistré 206 tests expérimentaux auprès de 58 groups de pics de 1999 à 2000. Des analyses de survie (life-table analysis) de la réponse du délai de nidification a montré que, à de petites distances (15-30 m), la réponse de nidification était plus forte pour les simulateurs d'artillerie que pour le feu des cartouches à blanc dans la phase d'incubation et d'oisillon. Pour les distances moyennes (45-60 m), en revanche, le feu des cartouches à blanc avait tendance à augmenter plus la réponse de nidification par rapport au feu d'artillerie pour dans les phases d'incubation et d'oisillon. Aux longues distances (>60 m), le feu des cartouches à blanc et les simulateurs d'artillerie ont produit des réponses de nidification comparables dans la phase d'incubation, tandis que cette réponse a été plus forte pour le feu des cartouches à blanc que pour les simulateurs d'artillerie pendant la phase d'oisillon. En général, la plupart des animaux ont quitté leur nid dans les 5 secondes qui suivaient le commencement du stimuli. Les pics ont repris leurs nids dans les 4,4 minutes suivant leur dénidification par les simulateurs d'artillerie et 6,3 minutes après les tests entrepris avec le feu des cartouches à blanc de calibre 0,50. Les taux de réponse de dénidification du pic ont augmenté au fur et à mesure que la distance du stimuli a été atténuée et les niveaux sonores ont été haussés, malgré le type de stimuli et l'année. Les pics n'ont pas déniché lorsque le feu des cartouches à blanc de calibre 0.50 et les simulateurs d'artillerie ont été placés à des distances supérieures à 152 m et quand les niveaux de contact sonore étaient <68 dBW (selon la courbe de déformation de la fréquence du pic) et <65 dBW, respectivement. Nous avons établi que les traitements d'explosion ont réduit les taux d'arrivées des adultes au nid, une réduction dépendante du type de stimuli d'explosion et le nombre d'assistants auxiliaires (les jeunes pics aidant dans le processus d'élever les nouveaux-nés) présents au nid. D'un autre côté, nous n'avons trouvé aucun effet des traitements d'explosion sur la présence au nid. L'effet du feu des cartouches à blanc sur les arrivées pendant la période d'incubation à travers des intervalles de 30 minutes (une réduction d'environ 40%) a été le double de celui de la vraie fusillade (réduction d'environ 20%). Il n'y a pas eu d'évidence soutenant un effet quelconque du type de stimuli sur les arrivées lors de la phase d'oisillon. Les stimuli d'explosion pendant l'incubation ont fait baissé les arrivées par 40% quand aucun assistant auxiliaire n'était présent, mais l'importance de cet effet descend à 28% quand un seul assistant était présent et n'était que 6% pour les nids équipés de deux assistants ou plus. La distance entre l'explosion et le nid n'a pas eu d'effet sur la réponse des taux d'arrivées aux traitements d'explosion dans cette étude. Il a été établi que la meilleure sensibilité auditive des pics mineurs, comme espèce succédanée pour les pics à face blanche, se trouve à l'intérieur du points maximaux du spectre d'énergie des vocalisations du pic mineur et du pic à face blanche, ce qui se place à une plus haute fréquence que celle d'une passerine typique. Globalement, les pics possèdent une sensibilité auditive réduite par rapport aux êtres humains et les autres espèces de petits oiseaux, surtout dans les hautes fréquences. Les pics se sont montrés le plus sensible aux bruits dans la plage de 1,5 à 4,0 kHz. Cette sensibilité semblait diminuer brusquement aux fréquences en dessous de 1,0 kHz et celles supérieures à 4,0 kHz. Dans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouvé que la fonction de déformation de la fréquence des pics élaborée comme partie de ce projet de recherches donne de meilleures prédictions de réponses de dénidification des pics que celles générées par « A-weighting ». Davantage de recherches sont nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la relation entre les fonctions de déformation de fréquence et le comportement de réponse du pic. Les exercices d'entraînement militaire peu fréquents, comme ceux mesurés ici, ne bouleversent pas particulièrement les paramètres de sante reproductrice du pic à face blanche au Fort Stewart Military Installation. Ces résultats pourraient être applicables à d'autres installations militaires où ont lieu des exercices des niveaux d'entraînement et d'intensité comparables. De plus amples recherches doivent être entreprises sur l'habituation possible ou la sensibilisation des pics à face blanche aux activités humaines en proximité aux sites actifs de nidification. Même si l'on a tenté d'observer la réponse du pic aux différentes activités d'entraînement militaire, d'autres types d'opérations d'entraînement militaire ou d'activités humaines de durée plus longue ou comportant d'avantage de présence humaine et une manifestation plus fréquente, pourraient engendrer un impact négatif sur la nidification du pic et devraient être étudiés. Ces résultats ne soutiennent nullement l'hypothèse selon laquelle les opérations d'entraînements militaires constituent des facteurs limitants dans la rétablissement des pics à face blanche sur les installations militaires selon nos niveaux et nos méthodes. Jusqu'à présent, les politiques de gestion des ressources naturelles sur les installations militaires ont eu une influence positive sur le rétablissement des pics à face blanche et elles doivent probablement l'emporter largement sur les inconvénients de l'entraînement militaire tel qu'il est actuellement entrepris.

SN - 07490208 AB - To establish existing conditions for dredge material beneficial use projects and to help implement principles of Regional Sediment Management (RSM) into projects and studies, this paper is an assessment of sediment sources and sinks, physical processes, and longshore sediment transport along the west and south shore of Lake Erie. This summary compiles information from a widely scattered technical literature and synthesizes the results in preparation for development of a sediment budget. The U.S. shore of Lake Erie has 28 river or harbor mouths protected with jetties and structures, of which 16 are Federal navigation projects. Much of the sediment management since the mid-1800s has revolved around providing safe navigation, maintaining depth in navigation channels, and disposing of the dredged material. Sediment sources include material brought down the rivers (often fine-grained); industrial dumping and runoff from sewers, gravel, sand, and clay eroded from glacial till bluffs and clay banks; sediment created in situ from bedrock bluff weathering (primarily from shale); and limited supply from lake bed lowering and offshore outcrops. Losses include wave- and ice-induced transport to deep water, sediment trapped in fillets at harbor jetties, sediment dredged from harbor entrance channel and placed in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) or placed offshore, bluff armoring, and formerly) beach mining. Today, the south shore of Lake Erie is severely sand-starved compared with conditions that existed 200 years ago. The lack of available sediment is largely due to man-made causes. As the shore developed and became urbanized after the mid-1800s, residents, industries, and municipalities attempted to arrest bluff erosion with the use of structures and vegetation. Now the U.S. shoreline of Lake Erie is almost 83% protected, a larger percentage than any ocean coast except in urban areas. It means that little sediment exchange occurs compared with predeveloped conditions, which, in turn, means that managers must recycle and reuse existing sediment to maintain recreation beaches. Managing sediment to benefit a region sustainably potentially will save money, allow use of natural processes to solve engineering problems, and improve recreation resources and natural habitat.

JO - Journal of Vector Ecology JF - Journal of Vector Ecology Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 36 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 42 EP - 54 PB - Society for Vector Ecology SN - 10811710 AB - A seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was established at Dagmar North Training Area located near the demilitarized zone, Republic of Korea, from 2001 through 2005. Selected habitats surveyed included earthen banks separating rice paddies, fighting positions along a 5 m rock-faced earthen berm, and extensive tall grasses with various degrees of herbaceous and scrub vegetation associated with dirt roads, rice paddies, ditches, ponds, or the Imjin River. Of the nine species of small mammals captured, the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius), the primary reservoir for Hantaan virus, was the most frequently collected, representing 92.5% of the 1,848 small mammals captured. Males were captured similarly to females during the spring and summer seasons but were captured less frequently during the fall and winter seasons. Gravid rates were highest in the fall (25.5-57.3%) with the lowest rates during the summer (0.0-2.2%). Capture rates were the lowest along earthen banks separating rice paddies (5.5%) and highest in unmanaged tall grasses and crawling vegetation (15.3-43.5%). An increased knowledge of ecological factors that impact the abundance and distribution of small mammals and the associated ectoparasites and pathogens they harbor is critical for developing accurate disease risk assessments and mitigation strategies for preventing vector- and rodent-borne diseases among soldiers training in field environments.

Bullet dissolution and scanning electron microscopy studies compared weathering of lead from antique small arms ammunition (the 45/70-405 Government) and modern ammunition (5.56 mm). The almost pure lead in the 45/70 bullet resulted in a round that has a lower corrosion and dissolution rate than the lead/antimony alloy of modern ammunition. It is less likely that lead will migrate from the older ranges into the surrounding environment either with suspended solids carried by surface water runoff or through leaching into the underlying soil and groundwater.

Critical to the interpretation of these data is the assessment of steady state for bioaccumulated residues needed to generate biota sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) and to address control correction of day 0 contaminant residues measured in bioassay organisms. This study applied a novel performance reference compound approach with a pulse-chase experimental design to investigate elimination of a series of isotopically labeled polychlorinated biphenyl (C-PCBs) in the polychaete worm Nereis virens while simultaneously evaluating native PCB bioaccumulation from field-collected sediments. Results demonstrated that all C-PCBs, with the exception of C-PCB209 (> 80%), were eliminated by more than 90% after 28 d. The three sediment types yielded similar C-PCB whole-body elimination rate constants ( k) producing the following predictive equation: log k = − 0.09 × log K − 0.45. The rapid loss of C-PCBs from worms over the bioassay period indicated that control correction, by subtracting day 0 residues, would result in underestimates of bioavailable sediment residues. Significant uptake of native PCBs was observed only in the most contaminated sediment and proceeded according to kinetic model predictions with steady-state BSAFs ranging from 1 to 3 and peaking for congeners of log K between 6.2 and 6.5. The performance reference compound approach can provide novel information about chemical toxicokinetics and also serve as a quality check for the physiological performance of the bioassay organism during standardized bioaccumulation testing.

SN - 07490208 AB - This study evaluated the potential increase in shoaling and associated sources of sediment as a result of proposed channel improvements for the Houma Navigation Channel in the vicinity of Cat Island Pass, Louisiana. Using morphologic change data and historical maintenance dredging rates, historical and forecasted with-deepening sediment budgets were developed. Conclusions from this study were that deepening the channel from 5.5 m to 6.1 m relative to Mean Low Gulf, a local low water datum, would increase the shoaling rate from the present 191,000 m3/year to 220,000 m3/year, and the likely source of shoaling would be sediment that is presently bypassed naturally. It was recommended that all environmentally-acceptable sediment dredged from Cat Island Pass be placed on the downdrift barrier island, East Island, part of the Isle Dernieres barrier island system. Clays and silts should be placed on the bayside of the island and sand similar to or coarser than the existing beach sand should be placed downdrift of the nodal zone on the Gulf side of East Island. Historically, sediment dredged from Cat Island Pass has been placed in designated dredged material disposal sites located 760 m west of the channel. Based on morphologic change in the region from 1980 to 2006, it appears that sediment may be transported from this placement site to deposit back into the channel. It is recommended that, if sediment cannot be placed on either East Island or Timbalier Island, that the dredged material disposal site be moved further to the west, away from the channel. Finally, based on movement of Timbalier Island and Cat Island Pass over the past 100 years, it is recommended that the channel be moved further to the west to avoid future impingement by Timbalier Island. Based on the results of this and other studies of the Houma Navigation Channel, channel realignment was approved in 2009, and authorization of the deepened channel is being requested during 2010.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 202 EP - 210 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - An experimental shoreline protection project in Jefferson County, TX was constructed and monitored as part of the National Shoreline Erosion Control Development and Demonstration Program. The project determined the effectiveness of a nontraditional, low volume beach fill at reducing erosion of underlying clay layers and evaluated the performance of a clay core dune compared with that of a sand filled dune. Four cells were constructed on the beach face having 0.18 or 0.25 mm sand and fill volumes of 6 or 12 cy/ft. A fifth control cell had no fill. A 2500 ft long dune was constructed, with half being composed entirely of sand and half being composed of a clay core and sand cap. The project was constructed during the summer of 2004 and was impacted by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 and later by the same storm as Tropical Storm Ivan in October 2004. An evaluation of profiles and other data taken before, between, and after these storms shows that the clay core dune survived the storms much more intact than the dune constructed entirely of sand. The clay core dune suffered minor scarping at its seaward toe, while up to the seaward half of the sand dune was removed in some sections. The results of the low volume beach fill were also promising. The fill performed well by protecting the underlying clay layer from erosion, but interpretation of the results is complicated by the presence of geotextile tube groins that were placed to contain the fill.

SN - 07490208 AB - Westhampton Beach is located on the barrier island between Moriches Inlet and Shinnecock Inlet, along the south shore of Long Island, New York. This vulnerable area has been subject to a number of beach erosion control measures under the authority of the Fire Island to Montauk Point, New York Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection (FIMP) project as well as the related Westhampton Interim Project The Westhampton Interim Project, initiated in 1996, provided for beachfill placement, dune construction west of the groin field, periodic beachfill renourishment until 2027, and a tapering of the groins at the western edge of the groin field in order to provide a smooth transition to the downdrift barrier beaches. Project coastal processes monitoring since 1996 has shown that the shoreline position in the project area has been stable and there has been volumetric growth of the dune field west of the groin field. The 10-year average volumetric loss in the project area of 180,000 cubic yards per year is very similar to the 759,000 cubic yards (190,000 cubic yards per year) renourishment volume placed in 2005 after a four-year renourishment cycle. The largest rate of dune growth west of the groin field from initial construction to February 2009 is approximately 2.0 cy/ft-yr while the average rate of growth is 1.25 cy/ft-yr. Good stewardship of the beach and dune system will allow the Westhampton Interim Project to be maintained and provide the storm damage reduction purposes for which it was designed.

SN - 07490208 AB - Tróia peninsula, located on the western coast of Portugal, is undergoing tourism development, including construction of a marina. The marina basin was created by dredging a coastal stretch on the northern terminus of the peninsula on the estuarine side, making available beach-quality sediment for nourishment. A study was carried out to identify potential applications and opportunities to place the dredged sand in a beneficial manner. Many variables were considered in the study design in incorporating pre-project beach profile surveys and sediment sampling. Beach-fill design and placement procedures were proposed according to the purpose and constraints of the particular site, while recognizing the implications of the nourishment in a regional sediment management context. Between October 2006 and March 2007, 286,000 m3 of sand was placed along four beach sectors with a total alongshore extent of 1,700 m in the vicinity of the new marina and the Tróia Roman Ruins archeological site. The emplacements included dune, beach berm, and beach face nourishment, providing restoration of beaches and dunes and also increased buffering capacity in an area of damage to cultural resources of the peninsula. A monitoring program was deployed to assess performance and impacts of the nourishment on adjacent areas, and to identify problems and their causes. The surveys of August 2007 indicate that a significant part of the emplaced sand had been mobilized alongshore promoting the spreading of the fill material to down-drift areas while inducing a general reduction in the beach face slope, and attaining a more natural beach profile.

SN - 07490208 AB - Coastal barrier islands are natural lines of defense and an integral part of a comprehensive flood risk reduction and management plan. A high resolution numerical modeling system capable of representing complicated coastal landscapes and simulating all the primary relevant physical processes is applied to better understand the influence of barrier island restoration on hurricane surge propagation. Model results indicate that barrier island restoration may significantly alter surge pathways and flood volumes of surge reaching inland coastal areas as open water passes become the dominant flow mechanism during a storm event. However, the exclusion of the morphologic evolution of a barrier island during a storm's passage is a significant limitation with the existing numerical models and is currently under development. The results in this paper demonstrate the need to include morphologic changes to fully evaluate the impact barrier islands have on water levels at the mainland coast.

SN - 07490208 AB - The shoreline stabilization adjacent to the public access boat ramp in the Packery Channel basin has been damaged in two separate events. For the shoreline damage at the boat ramp bulkhead, toe scour is the likely mechanism for failure. Typical sources of hydrodynamic forcing that can lead to toe erosion include storm currents, locally generated storm waves, and offshore storm waves propagating into the basin through Packery Channel. Quantitative analysis of storm induced wind generated waves and currents eliminated them as possible causes of the damage. However, photographic and movie evidence indicate the presence of low-frequency low-amplitude waves propagated into the basin and impacted the boat ramp. The Coastal System Model (CMS) was used to simulate a range of these low-frequency low-amplitude waves and the results demonstrated that these waves could produce sufficient flows in the vicinity of the boat ramp shoreline to cause the damage. Subsequent modeling was used to develop design criteria for additional shoreline stabilization.

SN - 07490208 AB - This paper reviews the 25-plus year history of significant developments of the GENESIS shoreline response model. Topics discussed are line sources and sinks of sand, representation of shore-normal structures including natural sand bypassing, wave transmission by and shoreline response to shore-parallel structures, seawalls, migrating longshore sand waves, seasonal variation by cross-shore sand transport, sand transport due to tidal and wind-generated currents, preservation of the regional shape of the shoreline, and the interaction between the beach berm and the dunes behind it. Such developments have been done in a consistent way, based on thorough literature reviews, beta testing, comparison to beach behavior, and quality control. The challenges have been not only to represent the features themselves, but to be consistent to the basic assumptions of shoreline modeling theory. Through these added capabilities, GENESIS has evolved to meet the challenges of modern, multi-scale, long-term coastal engineering applications.

SN - 07490208 AB - Georgica Pond, on Long Island's ocean coast in East Hampton, NY, is normally separated from the ocean by a beach about 100 m wide, but mechanically opened to the Atlantic Ocean. Observations of the breach were made for three days, until it closed naturally. A channel 6 m wide was dug on April 23, 2008. The water level in the Pond was initially 1.46 m higher than the ocean. Upon completion of the channel, pond water rushed seaward through the new inlet at a speed reaching 3.7 m/sec. The flow was supercritical with a hydraulic jump forming at the inlet mouth. The cut widened in an hour by the progressive, sudden collapse of steep sections of bank along its length, growing at a rate of about 0.2 m/min, then slowing to about 0.1 m/min, eventually stabilizing at a width of 43 m. Forty-two hours after opening, the salinity in the pond suddenly jumped from 7 to 19. Pond salinity reached 26 about four days after the inlet opened. Over the course of five days, the water level in the pond fell 0.5 m, draining 530,000 m3 of water into the ocean. About 3,800 m3 of sand formed an ephemeral ebb shoal that was gradually swept to the west and back into the western beaches by wave-induced longshore transport. The inlet closed by April 28. On May 2, 8.5 days after the opening, salinity dropped to 13 and continued to fall slowly as freshwater drained into the pond.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 98 EP - 110 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Shark River Inlet, located on the north New Jersey coast, is served by a federal navigation channel that has until recently required little maintenance dredging. Although possessing a small estuary, the inlet is hydraulically efficient because of the small width to depth ratio of its entrance that is stabilized by parallel jetties. After placement of approximately 4.8 million m3 of beach nourishment to the north and south of the inlet as part of an erosion-control project conducted in the late 1990s, inlet maintenance increased beyond that anticipated. Analysis of channel and nearshore surveys indicates that an ebb-tidal delta is forming where none had existed previously, attributed to the recent availability of sand from the beach nourishment and a lack of sand prior to that construction. Jetty tip shoals also encroach on the channel, dependent on season, with longshore transport directed primarily to the north during summer (the predominant direction of transport) and to the south during winter. Formation of the ebb delta must be accounted for in the sand budget of the adjacent beaches. After conducting a GIS analysis of ebb delta growth to understand geomorphic trends, the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) was established to numerically simulate waves, current, sand transport, and morphology change. The CMS reproduced observed trends in ebb-delta growth, and multi-year simulations indicate the time scale of approach to dynamic equilibrium of the ebb delta and establishment of natural sand bypassing at the inlet.

SN - 07490208 AB - Packery Channel is an artificial inlet that occupies a historic ephemeral pathway between Corpus Christi Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. In 2005, the inlet was opened by Hurricane Emily during its construction and has remained open and navigable for more than 4 years. The shallow-draft channel has not required maintenance dredging despite episodic shoaling during storms, including Hurricane Ike. Stability of the inlet and adjacent beach is attributed to location in the southeast corner of Corpus Christi Bay, receiving augmented ebb flow by wind setup accompanying winter fronts. The ebb current, with speed sometimes exceeding 1.0 m/s, scours sediment deposited during the summer months, thereby maintaining channel depth adequate for water exchange and navigation. After the channel opened, a deposition basin initially served as the main sediment repository for sediment scoured from the bay side. Entrance channel shoaling began to increase in 2008, initiated by 15,000 m3of beach sand that entered the channel during Hurricane Ike. Subsequent shoaling is attributed to unrestricted wind-blown transport enhanced by drought. Since completion of the 430-m long dual jetties in 2006, an ebb-tidal delta has not formed. Ebb delta development is suppressed by a strong longshore current and longshore bar formation that alternates in direction seasonally, and by strong bursts of ebb flow during winter. The inlet is located in a region of nearly balanced longshore sediment transport, indicated by near-symmetric shoreline response at each jetty. The shoreline within a 1-km zone of the inlet advanced at a rate of 7.5 m/yr, whereas along the 18-km monitoring area it receded at a rate of 1.6 m/yr, reflecting in part the influence of Hurricane Ike. Channel performance tracks closely with that reported in the original design, with stability to date exceeding those 1997 predictions.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 75 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Fire Island, New York, is a 50-kilometer-long barrier island that has remained positionally stable without any formation of breach inlets for nearly 200 years. Some researchers have attributed its stability to a major supply of sand moving onshore from relatively deep water (i.e., >10 m depths). Others have demonstrated via sediment budgets that the principal sand sources at decadal to century time scales are littoral sediments derived from eroding beaches, bluffs, and cannibalization of inlet shoals in shallower depths (i.e., ⩽10 m). Published sediment budgets indicate that the quantity in question is of the order 105 m3/yr. The possibility that this deep-water source of sand is significant, active, and persistent at decadal to century time scales has led to reluctance to mine deep-water shoals for beach nourishment of Fire Island. Herein, the authors review five factors related to the potential for a significant deep-water sand source in this setting: (1) spatial and temporal frames of reference necessary for this flux of sand; (2) studies of scour and sediment transport over offshore features; (3) sediment size distribution across the foreshore; (4) depth of closure (DOC); and (5) contribution of abandoned inlet shoals. The authors conclude that evidence for an onshore flux of sediment (i.e., order of 105 m3/yr) is lacking and suggest that reluctance to mine the offshore for beach nourishment is unfounded.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 49 EP - 60 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - The Coastal Modeling System (CMS), developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP), is applied to model morphology change at a dual-inlet system, the Johns Pass and Blind Pass system in West-Central Florida. The CMS combines computation of current, wave, and sediment transport, leading to the prediction of morphology change at tidal inlets and the surrounding beaches. Medium-term CMS runs, with simulated times of 1.2 to 1.6 years, were completed and compared with extensive field data. Stronger tidal flow through the dominating Johns Pass and weaker flow through the secondary Blind Pass were calculated, indicating that the model reproduced an essential aspect of this interactive two-inlet system. The complicated wave refraction and breaking over the ebb tidal deltas and along the adjacent shorelines were accurately modeled, leading to a realistic representation of the wave-current interaction. Wave-breaking induced elevated sediment suspension and transport were described by the model. The predicted morphology change agreed well with field data. The CMS captured several key spatial trends of morphology change, e.g., erosion along the downdrift beach and accretion at the attachment point. The computed 32,000 m3/yr sedimentation volume in the dredge pit at the updrift side of Blind Pass matched the measured value of 35,000 m3/yr with a similar spatial distribution pattern, suggesting that the calculated net longshore sediment transport rates are accurate. The computed sedimentation rate of 60,000 m3/yr at a designed dredge pit on Johns Pass ebb-delta agrees with the generally accepted gross longshore transport rate. Rapid and large morphology change in response to high wave-energy events is predicted and is consistent with field observations.

SN - 07490208 AB - This paper presents a depth-averaged sediment transport model with emphasis on morphodynamic processes near coastal inlets and navigation channels. The model solves the depth-averaged two-dimensional non-equilibrium transport equation of total-load sediment, considering bed-material hiding and exposure, avalanching and sediment transport over hard bottoms. The model is coupled with a depth-averaged circulation model and a spectral wave transformation model. Predicted bed changes are compared with measurements for two laboratory experiments of channel infilling and in a field study at Shinnecock Inlet, Long Island, NY. The results indicate that the model is capable of predicting the general trends of morphology change and provides a useful tool for engineering applications such as coastal sediment management, navigation channel maintenance, and beach erosion protection.

SN - 07490208 AB - An implicit finite volume scheme is developed to solve the depth-averaged 2-D shallow water flow equations. The computational mesh consists of rectangular cells, with quadtree technology incorporated to locally refine the mesh around structures of interest or where the topography and/or flow properties change sharply. The grid nodes are numbered by means of an unstructured index system for more flexibility. The governing equations are solved using the SIMPLEC algorithm on non-staggered grid to handle the coupling of water level and velocity. In this non-staggered system, primary variables u-, v-velocity, and water level are stored on the same set of grid points, and fluxes at cell faces are determined using the Rhie and Chow's momentum interpolation method to avoid spurious checkerboard oscillations. The discretized algebraic equations are solved iteratively using the GMRES method. The model has been tested against measurement data for steady flow around a spur-dyke in a laboratory flume and tidal flows in Gironde Estuary, France and Grays Harbor, USA. The model reasonably well reproduces the temporal and spatial variations of water level and current speed observed in the measurements. The laboratory test has demonstrated that the quadtree mesh is cost-effective, while the two field cases have shown that the model is very stable and handles wetting and drying efficiently.

SN - 07490208 AB - The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) has developed a nearshore spectral wave transformation numerical model to address needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation projects. The model is called CMS-Wave and is part of Coastal Modeling System (CMS) for wave estimates in the vicinity of coastal and estuarine navigation channels. It can simulate important wave processes at coastal inlets including wave diffraction, refraction, reflection, wave breaking and dissipation mechanisms, wave-current interaction, and wave generation and growth. This paper describes recent improvements in CMS-Wave that include semi-empirical estimates of wave run-up and overtopping, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and wave dissipation over muddy bottoms. CMS-Wave may be used with nested grids and variable rectangular cells in a rapid mode to assimilate full-plane wave generation for circulation and sediment transport models. A brief description of these recent capabilities is provided.

SN - 07490208 AB - CMS-Flow is a coupled time-dependent circulation, sediment transport and morphodynamic model based on the numerical solution of the mass, momentum and transport equations on a Cartesian (quad-tree) grid network with both explicit and implicit solvers. It has been developed and is currently supported under the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) conducted at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The model's primary function is to support multi-disciplinary research teams and conduct practical projects at coastal inlets. CMS-Flow has been designed with a relatively simple code structure which allows for rapid development and inclusion of new sediment transport algorithms, while always being accessible to the general modeling community, including both USACE and commercial users. Today, CMS-Flow is an integral component of the CIRP, providing technology for simulating hydrodynamics, waves, sediment transport and morphology for short and long timeframes in coastal inlets, adjacent beaches, navigation channels and bays.

The site studied was the Highway 13 bridge over the Big Sioux River in Flandreau, South Dakota. The Flandreau site has complex channel and floodplain geometry that produces unique flow conditions at the bridge crossing. The 2D model was calibrated using flow measurements obtained during two floods in 1993. The calibrated model was used to examine the hydraulic and geomorphic factors that affect the main channel and floodplain flows and the flow interactions between the two portions. A one-dimensional (1D) flow model of the bridge site was also created in Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) for comparison. Soil samples were collected from the bridge site and tested in an erosion function apparatus (EFA) to determine the critical shear stress and erosion rate constant. The results of EFA testing and 2D flow modeling were used as inputs to the Scour Rate in Cohesive Soils (SRICOS) method to predict local scour at the northern and southernmost piers. The sensitivity of predicted scour depth to the hydraulic and soil parameters was examined. The predicted scour depth was very sensitive to the approach-flow velocity and critical shear stress. Overall, this study has provided a better understanding of 2D flow effects in compound channels and an overall assessment of the SRICOS method for prediction of bridge pier scour.

JO - Journal of Climate JF - Journal of Climate Y1 - 2011/04/15/ VL - 24 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2061 EP - 2079 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 08948755 AB - A vegetation-protruding-above-snow parameterization for earth system models was developed to improve energy budget calculations of interactions among vegetation, snow, and the atmosphere in nonforested areas. These areas include shrublands, grasslands, and croplands, which represent 68%% of the seasonally snow-covered Northern Hemisphere land surface (excluding Greenland). Snow depth observations throughout nonforested areas suggest that mid- to late-winter snowpack depths are often comparable or lower than the vegetation heights. As a consequence, vegetation protruding above the snow cover has an important impact on snow-season surface energy budgets. The protruding vegetation parameterization uses disparate energy balances for snow-covered and protruding vegetation fractions of each model grid cell, and fractionally weights these fluxes to define grid-average quantities. SnowModel, a spatially distributed snow-evolution modeling system, was used to test and assess the parameterization. Simulations were conducted during the winters of 2005/06 and 2006/07 for conditions of 1) no protruding vegetation (the control) and 2) with protruding vegetation. The spatial domain covered Colorado, Wyoming, and portions of the surrounding states; 81%% of this area is nonforested. The surface net radiation, energy, and moisture fluxes displayed considerable differences when protruding vegetation was included. For shrubs, the net radiation, sensible, and latent fluxes changed by an average of 12.7, 6.9, and −−22.7 W m−−2, respectively. For grass and crops, these fluxes changed by an average of 6.9, −−0.8, and −−7.9 W m−−2, respectively. Daily averaged flux changes were as much as 5 times these seasonal averages. As such, the new parameterization represents a major change in surface flux calculations over more simplistic and less physically realistic approaches.

Grid outages can result in cascading infrastructure failures as well as security breaches and should be avoided. Adding redundancy and increasing reliability can require additional environmental, financial, logistical, and other considerations and resources. Uncertain scenarios consisting of emergent environmental conditions, regulatory changes, growth of regional energy demands, and other concerns result in further complications. Decisions on selecting energy alternatives are made on an ad hoc basis. The present work integrates scenario analysis and multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to identify combinations of impactful emergent conditions and to perform a preliminary benefits analysis of energy and environmental security investments for industrial and military installations. Application of a traditional MCDA approach would require significant stakeholder elicitations under multiple uncertain scenarios. The approach proposed in this study develops and iteratively adjusts a scoring function for investment alternatives to find the scenarios with the most significant impacts on installation security. A robust prioritization of investment alternatives can be achieved by integrating stakeholder preferences and focusing modeling and decision-analytical tools on a few key emergent conditions and scenarios. The approach is described and demonstrated for a campus of several dozen interconnected industrial buildings within a major installation.

Novaluron also was effective against sand fly larvae at low concentrations and under simulated field conditions. Ivermectin has been shown to be effective as a systemic insecticide, killing 100% of blood-feeding sand flies for up to seven d after rodents were treated. The fluorescent tracer technique (FTT) is the use of certain fluorescent dyes (rhodamine B or uranine O) as feed-through transtadial biomarkers for phlebotomine sand flies, systemic biomarkers for blood-feeding sand flies, and permanent markers for nectar-feeding sand flies. The results of these laboratory studies provide proof of concept for the FTT and indicate that the FTT could be used to delineate specific foci with rodent/sand fly associations that would be susceptible to control by using feed-through or systemic insecticides, or foci where insecticide-treated sugar baits could be used against sand flies.

SN - 07224028 AB - Field observations over a fringing reef at Ipan, Guam, during trade wind and tropical storm conditions are used to assess the transformation of sea and swell energy from the fore reef to the shoreline. Parameterizations of wave breaking and bottom friction developed for sandy beaches are found to represent the observed decay in wave energy with an increased friction coefficient. These parameterizations are incorporated into the one-dimensional energy flux balance, which is integrated across the reef to assess the effects of varying tidal range, incident wave height and reef bathymetry on the sea and swell band wave height and wave setup near the shoreline. Wave energy on the reef is strongly depth-limited and controlled by the reef submergence level. Shoreline wave energy increases with incident wave height largely due to the increase in water level from breaking wave setup. Increased tidal levels result in increased shoreline energy, since wave setup is only weakly reduced. The wave height at the shore is shown to be inversely proportional to the width of the reef flat due to dissipation.

T1 - An introduction to the practical and ethical perspectives on the need to advance and standardize the intracoelomic surgical implantation of electronic tags in fish. JO - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries JF - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 21 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09603166 AB - The intracoelomic surgical implantation of electronic tags (including radio and acoustic telemetry transmitters, passive integrated transponders and archival biologgers) is frequently used for conducting studies on fish. Electronic tagging studies provide information on the spatial ecology, behavior and survival of fish in marine and freshwater systems. However, any surgical procedure, particularly one where a laparotomy is performed and the coelomic cavity is opened, has the potential to alter the survival, behavior or condition of the animal which can impair welfare and introduce bias. Given that management, regulatory and conservation decisions are based on the assumption that fish implanted with electronic tags have similar fates and behavior relative to untagged conspecifics, it is critical to ensure that best surgical practices are being used. Also, the current lack of standardized surgical procedures and reporting of specific methodological details precludes cross-study and cross-year analyses which would further progress the field of fisheries science. This compilation of papers seeks to identify the best practices for the entire intracoelomic tagging procedure including pre- and post-operative care, anesthesia, wound closure, and use of antibiotics. Although there is a particular focus on salmonid smolts given the large body of literature available on that group, other life-stages and species of fish are discussed where there is sufficient knowledge. Additional papers explore the role of the veterinarian in fish surgeries, the need for minimal standards in the training of fish surgeons, providing a call for more complete and transparent procedures, and identifying trends in procedures and research needs. Collectively, this body of knowledge should help to improve data quality (including comparability and repeatability), enhance management and conservation strategies, and maintain the welfare status of tagged fish.

T1 - Advancing the surgical implantation of electronic tags in fish: a gap analysis and research agenda based on a review of trends in intracoelomic tagging effects studies. JO - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries JF - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 21 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 127 EP - 151 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 09603166 AB - Early approaches to surgical implantation of electronic tags in fish were often through trial and error, however, in recent years there has been an interest in using scientific research to identify techniques and procedures that improve the outcome of surgical procedures and determine the effects of tagging on individuals. Here we summarize the trends in 108 peer-reviewed electronic tagging effect studies focused on intracoleomic implantation to determine opportunities for future research. To date, almost all of the studies have been conducted in freshwater, typically in laboratory environments, and have focused on biotelemetry devices. The majority of studies have focused on salmonids, cyprinids, ictalurids and centrarchids, with a regional bias towards North America, Europe and Australia. Most studies have focused on determining whether there is a negative effect of tagging relative to control fish, with proportionally fewer that have contrasted different aspects of the surgical procedure (e.g., methods of sterilization, incision location, wound closure material) that could advance the discipline. Many of these studies included routine endpoints such as mortality, growth, healing and tag retention, with fewer addressing sublethal measures such as swimming ability, predator avoidance, physiological costs, or fitness. Continued research is needed to further elevate the practice of electronic tag implantation in fish in order to ensure that the data generated are relevant to untagged conspecifics (i.e., no long-term behavioural or physiological consequences) and the surgical procedure does not impair the health and welfare status of the tagged fish. To that end, we advocate for (1) rigorous controlled manipulations based on statistical designs that have adequate power, account for inter-individual variation, and include controls and shams, (2) studies that transcend the laboratory and the field with more studies in marine waters, (3) incorporation of knowledge and techniques emerging from the medical and veterinary disciplines, (4) addressing all components of the surgical event, (5) comparative studies that evaluate the same surgical techniques on multiple species and in different environments, (6) consideration of how biotic factors (e.g., sex, age, size) influence tagging outcomes, and (7) studies that cover a range of endpoints over ecologically relevant time periods.

SN - 09603166 AB - Many telemetry-based studies require that fish be sampled from the wild and then held both prior to and after the implantation of an electronic tag. However, the effects of such holding (or the lack thereof) have yet to be studied intensively. Pre-surgical holding often occurs to facilitate logistical needs of research projects and as an attempt to minimize negative physiological effects due to capture and handling stress. Further, post-surgical holding time and conditions greatly influence the physiological state of fish prior to being returned to the wild. This paper reviews pertinent studies pertaining to the effects of surgical holding on the behavior, physiology, and survival of fishes, with particular emphasis on juvenile salmonids. The effects of individual aspects of surgical holding such as handling, water quality, light conditions, holding density, metabolic scope, and duration of holding are reviewed. Recommendations regarding certain aspects of surgical holding are offered with a goal of reducing bias related to the surgical process.

SN - 07490208 AB - Advances in remote-sensing technology have led to its increased use for posthurricane disaster response and assessment; however, the use of the technology is underutilized in the recovery phase of the disaster management cycle. This study illustrates an example of a postdisaster recovery assessment by detecting coastal land cover, elevation, and volume changes using 3 years of post-Katrina hyperspectral and light detection and ranging data collected along the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana. Digital elevation models and basic land-cover classifications were generated for a 34- km2 study area for 2005, 2006, and 2007. A change detection method was used to assess postdisaster land-cover, elevation, and volume changes. Results showed that the vegetation classes had area increases, whereas bare ground/ roads and structures classes had area decreases. Overall estimated volume changes included a net volume decrease of 1.6 3 106 m3 in 2005 to 2006 and a net volume decrease of 2.1 3 106 m3 in 2006 to 2007 within the study area. More specifically, low vegetation and bare ground/roads classes had net volume increases, whereas medium and tall vegetation and structures classes had net volume decreases. These changes in land cover, elevation, and volume illustrate some of the major physical impacts of the disaster and ensuing recovery. This study demonstrates an innovative image fusion approach to assess physical changes and postdisaster recovery in a residential, coastal environment.

Nevertheless, the effects of estuary and river restoration often continue to be evaluated at local project scales or by integration in an additive manner. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to apply knowledge gained from measuring cumulative impacts of anthropogenic stressors on ecosystems to assessment of ecological restoration. Integration of this knowledge has potential to increase the efficacy of restoration projects that are conducted at several locations but comanaged within the confines of a larger integrative program. We introduce a framework based on a levels-of-evidence approach that facilitates assessment of the cumulative landscape effects of individual restoration actions taken at many different locations. It incorporates data collection at restoration and reference sites, hydrodynamic modeling, geographic information systems, and meta-analyses in a five-stage process: design, data development, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, and application. This framework evolved from the need to evaluate the efficacy of restoration projects that are being implemented in numerous wetlands on the 235 km tidal portion of the Columbia River, USA, which are intended to increase rearing habitat for out-migrating juvenile salmonid fishes.

We determined the density and size distribution of Burkholderia pseudomallei cells in comparison with other Burkholderia species, including B. mallei and B. thailandensis, all prepared and analyzed under similar conditions. The observed size distribution and densities of several bacterial strains indicates that aerosolized particles consisting of one or of a few B. pseudomallei cells should be efficiently retained in the lungs, highlighting the risk of transmission of melioidosis by the respiratory route when the pathogen is present in fluids from infected patients or aerosolized from the environment.

Flow thickness and velocity were combined to estimate time series of the instantaneous discharge. Comparisons of the calculated overtopping discharge time series at the two locations revealed that the time series of instantaneous discharge was the same at both locations with the only difference being a short phase lag. Individual peaks of the discharge time series were examined, and an empirical expression was determined for the root-mean-squared discharge peak. The largest discharge peaks were overestimated by the Rayleigh distribution. For locations on the landward-side slope where the friction slope is approximately the same as the levee slope, it is possible to derive a stream power probability density function based on the overtopping discharge cumulative exceedance probability. The stream power probability density function may be a useful tool for assessing erosion potential of overtopped earthen levees.

Formulas for armor stability and damage progression have been developed and are widely used for practical applications. However, none of the formulas accounts for the water depth at the toe of the structure explicitly. An alternative approach based on the maximum wave momentum flux at the toe of the structure is proposed in this article. Equations for sizing stable armor stone for constant incident waves and water level are proposed and calibrated using available data. Equations are also developed for determining damage progression in a life-cycle analysis involving varying wave and water level characteristics. The developed equations are calibrated using the damage progression tests conducted previously by the authors and verified using an additional 10 tests conducted for this article.

Methods: The history deployment exposure surveillance was reviewed and the rationale for developing validated biomarkers that were detected in sera in postdeployment samples and compared with nondeployed controls was described. The goal was to find validated biomarkers that are associated with both exposures and health outcomes. Results: The articles in this supplement described novel serum biomarkers that were found to be associated with deployment exposures and weakly associated with some health outcomes. Conclusions: Future research must continue to validate the use of serum biomarkers when operational contingencies prevent the gold standard collection of real-time breathing zone samples in deployed service members.

JO - Journal of International Affairs JF - Journal of International Affairs J1 - Journal of International Affairs PY - 2013///Spring/Summer2013 Y1 - 2013///Spring/Summer2013 VL - 66 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 67 EP - 82 PB - Journal of International Affairs SN - 0022197X AB - Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a transformation of security in Latin America. Latin American countries have been moving toward the concepts of multidimensional security and security of the individual and society, and away from the classical understanding of the security dilemma posed by an external threat to the state. Illegal narcotics, the proliferation of guns, and other transnational threats, combined with undergoverned space and the weak state syndrome, generated an extraordinary crime wave, which gives the region the highest murder rate in the world. Moreover, crime imposes a heavy cost on economic growth and democratic governance. This insecurity crosses international borders, and the institutions of public security--police, military, and judicial systems-- are hard pressed to meet the challenge. The privatization of security is a symptom of the problem and a potential source of abuse. The United States shares responsibility for the violence due to U.S. demand for illegal drugs and the fact that it is a supplier of arms to Latin America. At the same time, there is a growing consensus in support of common action, as evidenced by the international coalition that is operating under Operation Martillo--the antinarcotics effort in the Caribbean and Central America. Moreover, a number of Latin American countries contribute to international peace operations. Accordingly, the new strategic consensus among Latin American countries should be a cause for common action.

Cooling is required on station to meet the requirements for food safety and scientific core storage. Firn air cooling is a potential replacement for traditional mechanical cooling systems. The system design, installation, and results of several experiments are presented. The system cooled a enclosed, insulated structure from to using a 10-m borehole and a fan pumping the naturally cool air. The system was easy to install in a short time frame and was low cost from an equipment and operating perspective.

Dexamethasone and /V-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

The research questions follow: RQ!) What are the optimal capabilities of a FVL MEDEVAC platform given an Afghanistan-like scenario and parameters associated with the treatment/ground evacuation capabilities in that theater?; RQ2) What are the MEDEVAC trade-off considerations associated with different aircraft engines operating under variable conditions?; RQ3) How does the additional weight of weaponizing the current MEDEVAC fleet affect range, coverage radius, and response time? We address RQ1 using discrete-event simulation based partially on qualitative assessments from the field, while RQ2 and RQ3 are based on deterministic analysis. Our results confirm previous findings that travel speeds in excess of 250 knots and ranges in excess of 300 nautical miles are advisable for the FVL platform design, thereby reducing the medical footprint in stability operations. We recommend a specific course of action regarding a potential engine bridging strategy based on deterministic analysis of endurance and altitude, and we suggest that the weaponization of the FVL MEDEVAC aircraft will have an adverse effect on coverage capability.

To make accurate return-to-duty decisions for soldiers with mTBI, military medical personnel require sensitive, objective, and duty-relevant data to characterize subtle cognitive and sensorimotor injury sequelae. A military-civilian research team reviewed existing literature and obtained input from stakeholders, end users, and experts to specify the concept and develop a preliminary assessment protocol to address this need. Results of the literature review suggested the potential utility of a test based on dual-task and multitask assessment methods. Thirty-three individuals representing a variety of military and civilian stakeholders/experts participated in interviews. Interview data suggested that reliability/validity, clinical feasibility, usability across treatment facilities, military face validity, and capacity to challenge mission-critical mTBI vulnerabilities were important to ultimate adoption. The research team developed the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance, a tool composed of eight dual and multitasking test- tasks. A concept test session with 10 subjects indicated preliminary face validity and informed modifications to scoring and design. Further validation is needed. The Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance may fill a gap identified by stakeholders for complex cognitive/motor testing to assist return-to-duty decisions for service members with mTBI.

This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period.

Several life history parameters ofT. columbianawere investigated in the laboratory, including fecundity, egg shape and size, number and location of egg(s) deposited per host, preferred host age, description and number of instars, mode of respiration and host-selection behaviour. Field studies included seasonal abundance ofT. columbianaand the introducedHydrelliaspp., parasitism levels, overwintering stage and adult winter sex ratio.T. columbianais a synovigenic solitary endoparasitoid that developed from egg to adult in 21.9 ± 0.2 days under laboratory conditions. Eggs ofT. columbianaare hydropic, hymenopteriform in shape and possess a double membrane. Larvae have three instars; first instars have sclerotised mandibles, bifurcated abdominal appendages and are free floating in the host’s haemolymph. Second and third instars are grub-like and remain attached to the host’s tracheal system until pupation. Individual females produced on average 23.2 ± 0.6 eggs and survived 15.6 ± 1.8 days. Highest parasitism levels of early and intermediate stage pupae occurred when wasps were 8–9 days old. Field parasitism rates of the two introducedHydrelliaspp. averaged 19.1%.

Findings suggest that the project will potentially increase many ecosystem services that have considerable economic value to society. The ecosystem services monetized within the scope of this study are a subset of the difference between the future-with the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) and the future-without CEPP, and they totaled ~$1.8 billion USD at a 2.5% discount rate. Findings suggest that the use of ecosystem services in project planning and communications may require acknowledgment of the difficulty of monetizing important services and the limitations associated with using only existing data and models. Results of this study highlight the need for additional valuation efforts in this region, focused on those services that are likely to be impacted by restoration activities but were notably challenging to value in this assessment due to shortages of data.

We report on breeding phenology and demography, calculate model-based estimates of nest survival and seasonal productivity and evaluate support for relationships with forest type, forest edge density, day of year, and year, and determine correspondence in these 2 measures of reproductive success. Males arrived in early March. Females laid the first egg of the first clutch in early April, made up to 5 nesting attempts, and completed nesting by mid-June. The most-supported nest survival model included day of year, proportion of juniper and juniper-oak forest within a 100-m radius of each nest, and the interactive effect of year and forest edge density. The most-supported seasonal productivity model included proportion of each forest type and the interactive effect of year and forest edge density. Seasonal productivity increased from 1.38 to 3.96 fledglings per territory and from 1.38 to 2.40 fledglings per territory across 0.00 to 0.87 and 0.00 to 1.00 proportion of juniper and proportion of juniper-oak forest, respectively. Seasonal productivity ranged from 1.86 to 3.12 fledglings per territory in 2010 and 2004, respectively (mean ± SD = 2.36 ± 0.37). Correlations between nest survival and seasonal productivity were strong when we controlled for the effect of year indicating demographic parameters other than nest survival, particularly renesting, double brooding, and polygyny, made an important contribution to actual seasonal productivity. The similarity in relationships of both measures of reproductive success with forest type and edge density and parallel findings for density with these habitat metrics reported in other studies provide strong rationale for protecting sites with high proportions of juniper and juniper-oak forest and less forest edge to further recovery efforts for the Golden-cheeked Warbler.

Brindamos resultados de fenología reproductiva y de demografía, calculamos estimaciones de supervivencia del nido y productividad estacional basadas en modelos y evaluamos las relaciones con el tipo de bosque, la densidad de borde de bosque, el día del año y el año, y determinamos la correspondencia en estas dos medidas de éxito reproductivo. Los machos llegaron a principios de marzo. Las hembras pusieron el primer huevo de la primera nidada a principios de abril, realizaron hasta cinco intentos de nidificación y completaron la nidificación hasta mediados de junio. El modelo de supervivencia del nido con mayor soporte incluyó el día del año, la proporción de bosque de enebro y enebro-roble dentro de un radio de 100 m desde cada nido, y el efecto interactivo del año y la densidad de borde de bosque. El modelo de productividad estacional con mayor soporte incluyó la proporción de cada tipo de bosque y el efecto interactivo del año y la densidad de borde de bosque. La productividad estacional aumentó de 1.38 a 3.96 volantones por territorio y de 1.38 a 2.40 volantones por territorio a través de 0.00 a 0.87 y de 0.00 a 1.00 de proporción de enebro y de proporción de bosque de enebro-roble, respectivamente. La productividad estacional varió entre 1.86 y 3.12 volantones por territorio en 2010 y 2004, respectivamente (media ± DE = 2.36 ± 0.37). Las correlaciones entre supervivencia del nido y productividad estacional fueron fuertes cuando controlamos por el efecto del año, indicando que los parámetros demográficos distintos de la supervivencia del nido, particularmente la nidificación repetida, la nidada doble y la poliginia contribuyeron de modo importante a la productividad estacional. La similitud en las relaciones de ambas medidas de éxito reproductivo con el tipo de bosque y la densidad de borde, y los hallazgos paralelos de densidad usando estas métricas de hábitat presentados en otros estudios, brindan un fuerte argumento para proteger los sitios con alta proporción de bosque de enebro y enebro-roble y menos borde de bosque, permitiendo impulsar los esfuerzos de recuperación de S. chrysoparia.

Base workers with possible legionellosis were interviewed and, if consenting, underwent testing for legionellosis. A retrospective cohort study collected information on occupants of the buildings closest to the outbreak source. We identified 29 confirmed and probable LD and 38 PF cases. All cases were exposed to airborne pathogens from a cooling tower. Occupants of the building closest to the cooling tower were 6·9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2·2–22·0] and 5·5 (95% CI 2·1–14·5) times more likely to develop LD and PF, respectively, than occupants of the next closest building. Thorough preventive measures and aggressive responses to outbreaks, including searching for PF cases in mixed legionellosis outbreaks, are essential for legionellosis control.

This study demonstrates the integration of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) to address technology alternative selection decisions. As a case study, prioritization of six lumber treatment alternatives [micronized copper quaternary (MCQ); alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ); water-borne copper naphthenate (CN); oil-borne copper naphthenate (CN0); water-borne copper qumolate (CQ); and water-borne zinc naphthenate (ZN)] for military use are considered. Multiattribute value theory (MAVT) is used to derive risk and benefit scores. Risk scores are calculated using a cradle-to-gate LCA Benefit scores are calculated by scoring of cost, durability, and corrosiveness criteria. Three weighting schemes are used, representing Environmental, Military and Balanced stakeholder perspectives. Aggregated scores from all three perspectives show CQ to be the least favorable alterative. MCQ is identified as the most favorable alternative from the Environmental stakeholder perspective. From the Military stakeholder perspective, ZN is determined to be the most favorable alternative, followed closely by MCQ This type of scoring and ranking of multiple heterogeneous criteria in a systematic and transparent way facilitates better justification of technology selection and regulation.

JO - Applied Energy JF - Applied Energy Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 130 M3 - Article SP - 350 EP - 356 SN - 03062619 AB - The results obtained from the combustion behavior of propane over platinum and rhodium catalysts in a meso-scale heat recirculating combustor are presented. The extinction limits, conversion, product selectivity/yield, and activation energy using the two catalysts were compared in an effort to predict their performance using a liquid fuel. The extinction limits were also compared to those of non-catalytic combustion in the same combustor. The results showed that the use of a catalyst greatly expanded the range of stable operating conditions, in terms of both extinction limits and flow rates supported. The Rh catalyst was found to exhibit a higher propane conversion rate, reaching a maximum of 90.4% at stoichiometric conditions (as compared to only 61.4% offered by the Pt catalyst under lean conditions), but the Pt catalyst had superior CO 2 selectivity for most of the examined conditions, indicating more of the heat released being used for product formation as opposed to being lost to the environment. However, despite having a higher rate of heat loss, the combustion with the Rh catalyst produced an overall higher amount of enthalpy than the Pt due to its superior fuel conversion. The Pt catalyst also had a significantly smaller activation energy (13.8 kJ/mol) than the Rh catalyst (74.7 kJ/mol), except at equivalence ratios richer than Φ = 1.75 (corresponding to catalyst temperatures below 500 °C), where it abruptly changed to 211.4 kJ/mol, signifying a transition from diffusion-limited reactions to kinetically limited reactions at this point. The results reveal that Rh would be a more suitable catalyst for use in liquid-fueled meso-scale combustors, as fuel conversion has been found to be a limiting factor for combustion stability in these systems, and as its higher output energy allows for greater flexibility of use.

JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2014/09/03/ VL - 32 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 5131 EP - 5139 SN - 0264410X AB - Whether to restart or continue the series when anthrax vaccine doses are missed is a frequent medical management problem. We applied the noninferiority analysis model to this prospective study comparing the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) IgG antibody response and lethal toxin neutralization activity at day 28 to the anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) (Biothrax ® ) administered on schedule or delayed. A total of 600 volunteers were enrolled: 354 in the on-schedule cohort; 246 in the delayed cohort. Differences were noted in immune responses between cohorts ( p < 0.0001) and among the racial categories ( p < 0.0001). Controlling for covariates, the delayed cohort was non-inferior to the on-schedule cohort for the rate of 4-fold rise in both anti-PA IgG concentration ( p < 0.0001) and TNA ED 50 titers ( p < 0.0001); as well as the mean log 10 -transformed anti-PA IgG concentration ( p < 0.0001) and the mean log 10 -transformed TNA ED 50 titers ( p < 0.0001). Providing a missed AVA dose after a delay as long as 5–7 years, elicits anti-PA IgG antibody and TNA ED 50 responses that are robust and non-inferior to the responses observed when the 6-month dose is given on-schedule. These important data suggest it is not necessary to restart the series when doses of the anthrax vaccine are delayed as long as 5 or more years.

T1 - Morphological evolution of a submerged artificial nearshore berm along a low-wave microtidal coast, Fort Myers Beach, west-central Florida, USA. JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 91 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 44 SN - 03783839 AB - Nourishment in the nearshore is becoming an increasingly utilized method for regional sediment management, particularly for dredged material that contains more fine sediment than the native beach. A nearshore berm was constructed at Fort Myers Beach, Florida, USA using mixed-sized sediment dredged from a nearby channel. The nearshore berm, which is the shallowest of its kind, was placed in water depths between 1.2 and 2.4 m with the berm crest just below the mean lower low water level. Based on time-series profiles surveyed from 2009 to 2013, the nearshore berm migrated onshore while the system was approaching a dynamic equilibrium. The distant passage of two tropical storms in the third year generated exceptionally high waves for the study area. Substantial profile change induced by the energetic conditions contributed to rapid evolution of the berm profiles toward equilibrium. Near the end of the fourth year, the berm profiles had returned to the equilibrium shape characteristic of the study area. Gaps in the berm allowed water circulation when the berm became emergent and watercraft access to the beach for recreational purposes. Gaps should be considered as a design parameter for future berm nourishments. Sediment samples collected and analyzed showed that the fine sediment content in the original placed material was selectively transported and deposited offshore, while the coarser component moved onshore. The dry beach maintained the same sediment properties throughout the study period and was not influenced by the fine sediment in the initial construction of the berm.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 50 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 7167 EP - 7186 SN - 00431397 AB - Information relevant for most hydrologic applications cannot be obtained directly from the native-scale outputs of climate models. As a result the climate model output must be downscaled, often using statistical methods. The plethora of statistical downscaling methods requires end-users to make a selection. This work is intended to provide end-users with aid in making an informed selection. We assess four commonly used statistical downscaling methods: daily and monthly disaggregated-to-daily Bias Corrected Spatial Disaggregation (BCSDd, BCSDm), Asynchronous Regression (AR), and Bias Corrected Constructed Analog (BCCA) as applied to a continental-scale domain and a regional domain (BCCAr). These methods are applied to the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis, as a surrogate for a climate model, to downscale precipitation to a 12 km gridded observation data set. Skill is evaluated by comparing precipitation at daily, monthly, and annual temporal resolutions at individual grid cells and at aggregated scales. BCSDd and the BCCA methods overestimate wet day fraction, and underestimate extreme events. The AR method reproduces extreme events and wet day fraction well at the grid-cell scale, but over (under) estimates extreme events (wet day fraction) at aggregated scales. BCSDm reproduces extreme events and wet day fractions well at all space and time scales, but is limited to rescaling current weather patterns. In addition, we analyze the choice of calibration data set by looking at both a 12 km and a 6 km observational data set; the 6 km observed data set has more wet days and smaller extreme events than the 12 km product, the opposite of expected scaling.

T1 - Micro-energy markets: The role of a consumer preference pricing strategy on microgrid energy investment. JO - Energy JF - Energy Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 74 M3 - Article SP - 567 EP - 575 SN - 03605442 AB - The fragility of the modern electrical grid is exposed during random events such as storms, sporting events and often simply routine operation. Even with these obvious flaws large utilities and governments have been slow to create robust solutions due to the need of large capital investments required to address the issues. In this light creative economic and engineering solutions are desired to finance the needed upgrades. Driven by the requirement to have uninterrupted power that meets customers desires this research focuses on linking consumer preferences to a type of energy source in order to best fulfill stakeholder priorities. This approach is in contrast to the current and prevalent lowest cost methods to producing and consuming energy. This research yields a preliminary ‘micro-energy market’ that consists of an energy network architecture, pricing methodology and mathematical template which quantifies potential economic inefficiencies. If exploited these inefficiencies could be used to fund investment into various energy sources that provide unmet needs such as reduced carbon footprint, renewable, quality, and local production. These inefficiencies can be best exploited within the structure of a microgrid. Identification of opportunities on this smaller scale can provide an incentive for producers to develop a robust set of production facilities of varying size and characteristics to meet the consumer preferences. A stochastic optimization model of a microgrid implementation for a small military installation is used to evaluate the effects of this pricing methodology. The energy production of the resulting microgrid would be optimized to meet consumer preferences and minimize economic inefficiency.

The MS-222 exposure effects and appropriate exposure times for juvenile Chinook Salmon undergoing intracoelomic implantation were determined using blood analytes (Na+, K+, Ca2+), blood pH, plasma cortisol, and survival immediately following anesthetic exposure (3, 6, 9, and 12 min on day 0) and over a recovery period (days 1, 7, and 14). In addition, effects were examined in surgically implanted and nonimplanted fish (but exposed to MS-222 for 3 min) over a 14-d recovery period. Regardless of anesthetic exposure time, there were no mortalities during exposure on day 0 or over the recovery period. On day 0, MS-222 exposure treatments of 9 and 12 min resulted in significantly higher Na+and Ca2+and lower K+, indicating a reduced ability to maintain osmotic balance; however, MS-222 effectively dampened the cortisol release following surgical implantation and anesthetic exposure. Cortisol concentration was significantly higher in surgically implanted fish than in those not surgically implanted over the recovery period. Given these results, we recommend MS-222 exposure (80 mg/L) times of 6 min or less for compliance programs and studies involving age-1 Chinook Salmon. In addition, we recommend for other monitoring programs, regardless of species, that maximum MS-222 exposure times are implemented to minimize stress and surgical effect and that exposure times are specific to a species’ life stage to prevent overexposure and long-term effects. Furthermore, the knowledge of effects and the development of maximum exposure times are beneficial for hatchery programs, fish barging or transportation programs, and most studies in which fish behavior and physiological responses would need to be dampened using MS-222 without adverse side effects.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 34 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 741 EP - 752 SN - 02755947 AB - High survival through hydropower projects is an essential element in the recovery of Pacific salmonOncorhynchusspp. populations in the Columbia River. High dam passage survival is also a regulatory requirement under the 2008 Biological Opinion (BiOp; established under the Endangered Species Act) on Federal Columbia River Power System operation. The BiOp requires dam passage survival to be at least 0.96 and at least 0.93 for spring and summer out-migrating juvenile salmonids, respectively, and to be estimated with an SE of 0.015 or lower. An innovative virtual/paired-release design was used to estimate dam passage survival, which was defined as survival from the upstream face of a dam to the tailrace mixing zone. A coordinated four-dam study was conducted during the 2012 summer out-migration using 14,026 subyearling Chinook SalmonO. tshawytschaout-migrants with surgically implanted acoustic micro-transmitter tags. The release–recapture design consisted of 9 different release locations and 14 different detection arrays. Each of the four estimates of dam passage survival exceeded BiOp requirements, with values ranging from 0.9414 to 0.9747 (SE = 0.0031–0.0114). The virtual/paired-release design illustrated here has potential applicability wherever dam passage survival of migrant juvenile fish stocks must be estimated.

We measured survival of Red ShinersCyprinella lutrensis, Blacktail ShinersCyprinella venusta, and Central StonerollersCampostoma anomalumstocked at varying densities to examine competitive interactions. Trophic interactions among Blacktail Shiner density treatments were assessed with stable isotope analysis (SIA), and mitochondrial markers were used to examine the lineage of young-of-the-year shiners spawned during the study. Stocking survival was significantly greater for Red Shiners, and both shiner species demonstrated higher overall survival rates than Central Stonerollers. Although SIA results were variable among replicate streams, more generalist foraging patterns were observed for Blacktail Shiners in the high-density treatment (intraspecific competition; no Red Shiners present) relative to the low-density Blacktail Shiner treatment. Less trophic redundancy was observed in the interspecific competition treatment (Blacktail Shiners and Red Shiners co-occurring) compared with the same density of Blacktail Shiners only (high-density treatment). Despite the potentially lethal water temperatures, including 4 d on which water temperatures exceeded 37°C, mitochondrial sequences showed that both Red Shiners and Blacktail Shiners were able to spawn during the study. These results collectively highlight potential mechanisms for explaining fish assemblage responses at local and landscape scales, such as the Red Shiner's recent range expansion and increased abundance in some areas of Texas. Our findings are relevant for forecasting regional changes in fish species distributions in response to more frequent droughts and warmer summers due to climate change.

JO - Ecological Restoration JF - Ecological Restoration Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 434 EP - 440 SN - 15434060 AB - Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) recruitment in Chesapeake Bay, USA, dropped precipitously as stocks declined (1920s-1985), then collapsed (1986-present). Occasional recruitment spikes occurred, driven primarily by seasonal drought. Recruitment spikes helped sustain the fishery at a small, variable level for years post-collapse, as fishers took advantage of these strong year classes. Historically, oyster recruitment was higher, more reliable, and more stock-driven, with weather exerting less, though still significant influence. Analysis of publicly available oyster spat (young juvenile oysters) settlement data revealed the reestablishment of a steadier, historic pattern of oyster settlement and recruitment potential in the Great Wicomico River (GWR), where local stocks have been greatly enhanced by a large sanctuary reef network constructed in 2004. In 2012, an oyster shellstring survey in the GWR revealed the highest mean oyster settlement for any Bay tributary since such surveys began nearly 70 years ago. This unprecedented recruitment enhancement is significantly correlated to the large stock on the sanctuary reefs and a strong indicator of restoration success and longterm sustainability, as these reefs are well past the average age of senescence (five years) for restored reefs. With the expansion of large-scale Eastern oyster restoration efforts in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay, developing efforts in the northeastern states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, and similar efforts to restore the Olympia oyster in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, British Columbia), these findings are particularly timely and applicable.

AB - Cognitive skills training has been linked to greater skills, self-efficacy, and performance. Although research in a variety of organizational settings has demonstrated training efficacy, few studies have assessed cognitive skills training using rigorous, longitudinal, randomized trials with active controls. The present study examined cognitive skills training in a high-risk occupation by randomizing 48 platoons (N = 2,432 soldiers) in basic combat training to either (a) mental skills training or (b) an active comparison condition (military history). Surveys were conducted at baseline and 3 times across the 10-week course. Multilevel mixed-effects models revealed that soldiers in the mental skills training condition reported greater use of a range of cognitive skills and increased confidence relative to those in the control condition. Soldiers in the mental skills training condition also performed better on obstacle course events, rappelling, physical fitness, and initial weapons qualification scores, although effects were generally moderated by gender and previous experience. Overall, effects were small; however, given the rigor of the design, the findings clearly contribute to the broader literature by providing supporting evidence that cognitive training skills can enhance performance in occupational and sports settings. Future research should address gender and experience to determine the need for targeting such training appropriately. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

Harmonic scattering theory is first presented, and then a generalized near-field, direct imaging functional is proposed for free-space and near-ground target localization within the context of forward-looking radar standoff detection exploiting sequential single-tone excitation. The developed scattering and imaging analysis framework is illustrated for point-like and extended targets through numerical experiments performed with a hybrid method-of-moments solver, in conjunction with a harmonic balance approach and an asymptotic field propagation technique. The steady-state harmonic scattering responses are examined in the time, frequency, and image domains for scatterers in free-space and half-space environments, and accurate target localization is demonstrated in all cases for each harmonic order considered.

A multimodal software suite for platform automation and sensor monitoring is demonstrated using a three-level heuristic software suite and sensor network. The vibration diagnostic methods used in the platform have applications in rotary microsystems for the early detection of failure, fault diagnosis, and integrated diagnostic systems for feedback-based optimization to increase device performance, reliability, and operational lifetimes. The studied rotary microdevice used a dual OTS accelerometer configuration for dual range parallel redundant vibration analysis. The sensor suite has been used to monitor and detect multiple operational parameters measured optimally in time or frequency domains such as rotor instability, imbalance, wobble, and system resonance. This paper will lay the framework for active diagnostics in future MEMS devices through integrated systems.

While C-band ScanSAR images have been demonstrated to be well suitable for wind retrievals, ocean wave retrievals are a more challenging problem: Because of the limited spatial resolution of 100 m (RADARSAT)/150 m (Envisat), only long waves can get imaged directly, and many images of tropical storm scenarios do not exhibit clear signatures of any waves in large areas. The interpretation of wave patterns that exist in an image is difficult because of the imaging mechanism's nonlinearities. We think we have found a promising new technique for wave parameter retrievals from C-band ScanSAR images, which determines peak wavelengths and directions from image spectra where possible but uses an empirically determined relation to estimate significant wave heights (SWHs) from local mean image intensities, which is similar to the method used for wind retrievals. This way, it is possible to obtain SWH estimates for the entire image and to account for the contributions of subresolution-scale waves. We explain how the algorithm works and how the empirical SWH model function has been determined from a set of hurricane images from RADARSAT-1 and reference wave spectra from a numerical wave model. The first independent test with a set of RADARSAT-2 and Envisat images from the 2010 Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) experiment reveals a few weaknesses but essentially confirms the feasibility of the concept.

The proposed method is designed to address the special problematic characteristics of hyperspectral images, namely, high dimensionality of hyperspectral pixels, lack of labeled samples, and spatial variability of spectral signatures. To alleviate these problems, the proposed method features the following components. First, being a semisupervised approach, it exploits the wealth of unlabeled samples in the image by evaluating the confidence probability of the predicted labels, for each unlabeled sample. Second, we propose to jointly optimize the classifier parameters and the dictionary atoms by a task-driven formulation, to ensure that the learned features (sparse codes) are optimal for the trained classifier. Finally, it incorporates spatial information through adding a Laplacian smoothness regularization to the output of the classifier, rather than the sparse codes, making the spatial constraint more flexible. The proposed method is compared with a few comparable methods for classification of several popular data sets, and it produces significantly better classification results.

In addition, the expression accounts for temperature increase across the die-attach. The model’s validity is verified by comparing it with experimental observations. The model results also compare favorably with those from finite-element numerical simulations across the various device geometric and material parameters. The model provides a more accurate channel temperature than that from a constant thermal conductivity assumption; this is particularly significant for GaN/Si HEMTs where the temperature rise is higher than in GaN/SiC. The model is especially useful for device and monolithic microwave integrated circuit designers in the thermal assessment of their device design iterations against required performance for their specific applications.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems JF - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems J1 - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems PY - 2015/07// Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1698 EP - 1716 SN - 00189251 AB - In this paper, a novel framework of sparse kernel learning for support vector data description (SVDD) based anomaly detection is presented. By introducing 0-1 control variables to original features in the input space, sparse feature selection for anomaly detection is modeled as a mixed integer programming problem. Due to the prohibitively high computational complexity, it is relaxed into a quadratically constrained linear programming (QCLP) problem. The QCLP problem can then be practically solved by using an iterative optimization method, in which multiple subsets of features are iteratively found as opposed to a single subset. However, when a nonlinear kernel such as Gaussian radial basis function kernel, associated with an infinite-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is used in the QCLP-based iterative optimization, it is impractical to find optimal subsets of features due to a large number of possible combinations of the original features. To tackle this issue, a feature map called the empirical kernel map, which maps data points in the input space into a finite space called the empirical kernel feature space (EKFS), is used in the proposed work. The QCLP-based iterative optimization problem is solved in the EKFS instead of in the input space or the RKHS. This is possible because the geometrical properties of the EKFS and the corresponding RKHS remain the same. Now, an explicit nonlinear exploitation of the data in a finite EKFS is achievable, which results in optimal feature ranking. Comprehensive experimental results on three hyperspectral images and several machine learning datasets show that our proposed method can provide improved performance over the current state-of-the-art techniques.

The early problem definition phase requires an application of systems thinking with adequate modeling tools and methods. Then, the later problem definition phase and early system architecting phase requires transferring the captured problem to systems engineering tools and methods through emerging techniques such as model-based systems engineering (MBSE) using SysML (MBSE is the practice of using a modeling tools to capture systems engineering diagrams). This paper presents a method for capturing a problem through systemigrams and the Boardman soft systems methodology and then directly translating the systemigrams into SysML diagrams. With MBSE increasing in usage, this method could provide a time savings opportunity during model development along with the possibility of lowering information distortion or loss that can occur during transformation of systems thinking to systems engineering activities. This paper includes a case study which demonstrates how the proposed approach was applied on a problem being considered by the U.S. Army—Contingency Basing for Small Combat Units. Finally, this paper will provide the conclusion on the development of the method and describe future research directions that can allow systems thinking and MBSE to function in a congruent methodology.

The major technical hurdle to date has been keeping the liners in place during firing. To address this problem, composite gun tubes made of steel and pure niobium have been fabricated through a combination of the GLEEM (gun liner emplacement with an elastomeric material) and the hammer forging. The three barrels made by this approach were test fired in single-shot and burst-fire mode. One of the barrels whose liner had been cold-sprayed with tungsten carbide particles before the GLEEM process showed no liner movement in any of the tests. The success of this new liner processing technology to prevent liner movement offers the potential for further investigations of refractory metals that are more suitable as liner materials.

Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America's prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America's counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

It is argued that, contrary to how most contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants construe it, the just war tradition has defended the possibility of the moral equality of combatants as an entailment of the justifiability of public war. It is shown that contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants are denying the possibility of public war and, in most cases, offering a conception of just war as exclusively private war. The work of Jeff McMahan is used to exemplify this. Against these contemporary critics, it is argued that the reasons McMahan and others offer against the possibility of the moral equality of combatants undermine not only public war but also the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority. The conclusion is drawn that defenders of the moral equality of combatants must defend the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war while critics of the moral equality of combatants must either (1) reject the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority altogether, or, less radically, (2) deny the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war.

However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed.

Methods: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. Results: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p ≤ 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p ≤ 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. Conclusions: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2,and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts.

The distribution plan for the Combat Stress Control teams was based on previously published guidance on ratios of combat stress personnel to troop end-strength, population at-risk data, and kinetic activity associated with current and future combat operations. The article concludes with outcome data that validates the distribution decisions made through the planning process. Through dissemination of this information, it is hoped that future planners and clinicians can improve the processes involved in providing combat stress and mental health services to forward-deployed troops.

A registered nurse, registered nurse case manager, and primary care provider formed the patient management team. Approximately 2,500 empanelled patients participated in a pilot program that applied a patient-centered approach to primary care. The pilot tracked outcome measures, which included (1) panel size, (2) access to care, (3) care utilization, (4) continuity of care, (5) nurse and provider productivity, (6) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures, and (7) satisfaction measures. When compared to the standard family practice clinic, the patients in the pilot were able to access the family practice clinic more frequently (p < 0.05), were less seen in the urgent care (p < 0.05), and had a lower no-show rate (p < 0.001) for scheduled appointments. The providers were able to see their own empanelled patients significantly more frequently (p < 0.05) and virtually all Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set markers improved with colon cancer screening, low-density lipoprotein annual exams, low-density lipoprotein control, and breast cancer screening/mammogram being significantly improved over the comparison group (p < 0.05). These results suggest a change in staffing and a focus on patient-centered care can significantly improve outpatient care access and population health maintenance.

Meeting these needs were persistent challenges for the nascent state governments, all of which lacked a financial foundation, manufacturing base, and logistical network to sustain a concerted war effort. North Carolina was particularly beset by these challenges, which led state officials to adopt two of the most burdensome intrusions into the wartime routines of Carolinians: impressment and conscription. Both of these expedients produced antipathy and resistance to Patriot authorities, undermined support for the new state, and added to the disorders within the state during most of the war years.

N2 - Gray water can be a valuable source of water when properly treated to reduce the risks associated with chemical and microbial contamination to acceptable levels for the intended reuse application. In this study, the treatment of gray water using low pressure reverse osmosis (RO) filtration after pre-filtration and aerobic biological filtration pretreatment was explored. Initially, nine commercial RO membranes were compared with dead end filtration tests for water flux and salt rejection at low pressures of operation (100-400 psi). Based on the dead end filtration results, one commercially-available membrane was subjected to further evaluation using a cross flow flat sheet test unit and gray water that had undergone various levels of pretreatment. The effects of gray water pretreatment with cartridge filtration, microfiltration, and aerobic biofiltration were compared in terms of membrane flux, chemical oxygen demand reduction, and salt rejection. Results from these RO filtration tests suggest that cartridge filtration in combination with RO treatment can achieve adequate reduction of gray water chemical oxygen demand (COD), but at the cost of progressively decreasing water flux through the RO membrane. Flux decline during cartridge filtration is mainly attributed to the presence of colloids >0.2 µm in size. In comparison, microfiltration maintains the water permeation capacity of the membrane, but permeate COD levels are higher. Biofiltered/microfiltered gray water shows RO permeate flux similar to microfiltered gray water and achieves permeate COD levels similar to cartridge filtered gray water.

Subject Subsets: Biocontrol; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Sugar Industry N2 - Reducing mosquito populations indoors and outdoors can have a significant impact on malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. A new formulation and delivery system for Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) was tested against adult mosquitoes. One Entobac bait with 7% Bti in a honey solution was placed within each ProVector Flower applicator. The applicators were placed in nine housing compounds, one on the outside of each home in Ahero and Nyalenda, Kenya, in June 2009. Seven housing compounds with no applicators were included as controls in the study area. After 1 mo, there was a significant reduction of mosquitoes in all nine compounds with the ProVector Flower compared to two of the seven control compounds. The overall mosquito population was reduced by 69% in housing compounds with the ProVector Flower whereas the mosquito population grew by nearly 15% in the control compounds. There was a significant reduction of the median number of mosquitoes in the test compounds than in the control compounds. The proportion of mosquitoes collected was significantly reduced in the test compounds within 1 mo for several species of Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia, Culex, and Mansonia. This study provides evidence that Bti-laced bait may be used as an alternative adulticide and be delivered in an applicator to reduce mosquito populations of several species. This method may significantly reduce the cost of pesticide application through target specificity and by reducing the amount of pesticide placed into the environment.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Prevalence and patterns of dietary supplement (DS) use by U.S. Army soldiers differ from the civilian population. Longitudinal trends in use of DSs by civilians have been examined, but are unavailable in subpopulations such as military service members. The present study examined longitudinal changes in DS use by soldiers. A standardized questionnaire on DS use was administered in 2006-2007 (N=989) and 2010-2011 (N=1196) to convenience samples of active duty soldiers. Data were weighted for total population demographics of age, sex, and rank. Regular use of DSs by soldiers increased significantly (56%±1.6% vs. 64%±1.7%; p≤0.001) over the 4 years primarily because of an increase of DS use among the youngest 18- to 24-year-old soldiers (43.0%±2.5% vs 62.3%±2.4%; p≤0.01). Protein (22%±1.4% vs. 26%±1.5%; p≤0.001) and combination (10.0%±1.0% vs. 24%±1.4%; p≤0.001) product consumption also increased over the 4 years. Individual vitamin and mineral use - including iron, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, B6, B12, and D - significantly increased as well (p≤0.05). In addition, expenditures on DSs by soldiers increased over time (p<0.01). Reasons reported by soldiers for DS use suggest use increased to meet the occupational demands of military service. Educational interventions to minimize inappropriate use of DSs by soldiers are necessary to reduce adverse events resulting from unnecessary use of DSs and the financial burden associated with their use.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are being incorporated into a variety of consumer products due to unique properties that offer a variety of advantages over bulk materials. Understanding of the nano-specific risk associated with nano-enabled technologies, however, continues to lag behind research and development, registration with regulators, and commercialization. One example of a nano-enabled technology is nanosilver ink, which can be used in commercial ink-jet printers for the development of low-cost printable electronics. This investigation utilizes a tiered EHS framework to evaluate the potential nano-specific release, exposure and hazard associated with typical use of both nanosilver ink and printed circuits. The framework guides determination of the potential for ENM release from both forms of the technology in simulated use scenarios, including spilling of the ink, aqueous release (washing) from the circuits and UV light exposure. The as-supplied ink merits nano-specific consideration based on the presence of nanoparticles and their persistence in environmentally-relevant media. The material released from the printed circuits upon aqueous exposure was characterized by a number of analysis techniques, including ultracentrifugation and single particle ICP-MS, and the results suggest that a vast majority of the material was ionic in nature and nano-specific regulatory scrutiny may be less relevant.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Introduction: Musculoskeletal low back pain (LBP) is commonly treated symptomatically, with practice guidelines advocating reserving surgery for cases that fail conservative care. This study examined medical comorbidities and demographic variables as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP, spinal surgery, and time to surgery. Methods: A 2015 retrospective cohort study was conducted in U.S. Army soldiers (N=1,092,420) from 2002 to 2011. Soldiers with medical encounters for LBP were identified using ICD-9 codes. Surgical treatment for LBP was identified according to Current Procedural Terminology codes. Comorbid medical conditions (psychological disorders, sleep disorders, tobacco use, alcohol use, obesity) and demographic variables were examined as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP within 1 year of the incident encounter, surgery for LBP, and time to surgery. Results: Of 383,586 patients with incident LBP, 104,169 (27%) were treated for chronic/recurrent LBP and 7,446 (1.9%) had surgery. Comorbid variables showed increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP ranging from 26% to 52%. Tobacco use increased risk for surgery by 33% (risk ratio, 1.33; 95% CI=1.24, 1.44). Comorbid variables showed 10%-42% shorter time to surgery (psychological disorders, time ratio [TR]=0.90, 95% CI=0.83, 0.98; sleep disorders, TR=0.68, 95% CI=0.60, 0.78; obesity, TR=0.88, 95% CI=0.79, 0.98; tobacco use, TR=0.58, 95% CI=0.54, 0.63; alcohol use, TR=0.85, 95% CI=0.70, 1.05). Women showed 20% increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP than men but 42% less risk of surgery. Conclusions: In the presence of comorbidities associated with mental health, sleep, obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol use, LBP shows increased risk of becoming chronic/recurrent and faster time to surgery.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The Department of Defense (DoD) is developing a new category of insensitive munitions (IMs) that are more resistant to detonation or promulgation from external stimuli than traditional munition formulations. The new explosive constituent compounds are 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), nitroguanidine (NQ), and nitrotriazolone (NTO). The production and use of IM formulations may result in interaction of IM component compounds with soil. The chemical properties of these IM compounds present unique challenges for extraction from environmental matrices such as soil. A two-stage extraction procedure was developed and tested using several soil types amended with known concentrations of IM compounds. This procedure incorporates both an acidified phase and an organic phase to account for the chemical properties of the IM compounds. The method detection limits (MDLs) for all IM compounds in all soil types were <5 mg/kg and met non-regulatory risk-based Regional Screening Level (RSL) criteria for soil proposed by the U.S. Army Public Health Center. At defined environmentally relevant concentrations, the average recovery of each IM compound in each soil type was consistent and greater than 85%. The two-stage extraction method decreased the influence of soil composition on IM compound recovery. UV analysis of NTO established an isosbestic point based on varied pH at a detection wavelength of 341 nm. The two-stage soil extraction method is equally effective for traditional munition compounds, a potentially important point when examining soils exposed to both traditional and insensitive munitions.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health; Human Nutrition N2 - Background: Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei are the causative agents of glanders and melioidosis, respectively, diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates. B. mallei and B. pseudomallei are closely related genetically; B. mallei evolved from an ancestral strain of B. pseudomallei by genome reduction and adaptation to an obligate intracellular lifestyle. Although these two bacteria cause different diseases, they share multiple virulence factors, including bacterial secretion systems, which represent key components of bacterial pathogenicity. Despite recent progress, the secretion system proteins for B. mallei and B. pseudomallei, their pathogenic mechanisms of action, and host factors are not well characterized. Results: We previously developed a manually curated database, DBSecSys, of bacterial secretion system proteins for B. mallei. Here, we report an expansion of the database with corresponding information about B. pseudomallei. DBSecSys 2.0 contains comprehensive literature-based and computationally derived information about B. mallei ATCC 23344 and literature-based and computationally derived information about B. pseudomallei K96243. The database contains updated information for 163 B. mallei proteins from the previous database and 61 additional B. mallei proteins, and new information for 281 B. pseudomallei proteins associated with 5 secretion systems, their 1,633 human- and murine-interacting targets, and 2,400 host-B. mallei interactions and 2,286 host-B. pseudomallei interactions. The database also includes information about 13 pathogenic mechanisms of action for B. mallei and B. pseudomallei secretion system proteins inferred from the available literature or computationally. Additionally, DBSecSys 2.0 provides details about 82 virulence attenuation experiments for 52 B. mallei secretion system proteins and 98 virulence attenuation experiments for 61 B. pseudomallei secretion system proteins. We updated the Web interface and data access layer to speed-up users' search of detailed information for orthologous proteins related to secretion systems of the two pathogens. Conclusions: The updates of DBSecSys 2.0 provide unique capabilities to access comprehensive information about secretion systems of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei. They enable studies and comparisons of corresponding proteins of these two closely related pathogens and their host-interacting partners.

In the present project, we translated the latest updated equations into a user-friendly Android application (Soldier Water Estimation Tool, SWET) that provides estimated drinking water required from 5 simple inputs based upon a detailed multiparametric sensitivity analysis. Users select from multiple choice inputs for activity level, clothing, and cloud cover, and manually enter exact values for temperature and relative humidity. Total drinking water needs for a unit are estimated in the Mission Planner tool on the basis of mission duration and number of personnel. In preliminary user acceptability testing, responses were overall positive in terms of ease of use and military relevance. Use of SWET for water planning will minimize excessive load (water) carriage in training and mission settings, and will reduce the potential for dehydration and/or hyponatremia to impair Warfighter health and performance.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - RNA viruses exhibit a variety of genome organization strategies, including multicomponent genomes in which each segment is packaged separately. Although multicomponent genomes are common among viruses infecting plants and fungi, their prevalence among those infecting animals remains unclear. We characterize a multicomponent RNA virus isolated from mosquitoes, designated Guaico Culex virus (GCXV). GCXV belongs to a diverse clade of segmented viruses (Jingmenvirus) related to the prototypically unsegmented Flaviviridae. The GCXV genome comprises five segments, each of which appears to be separately packaged. The smallest segment is not required for replication, and its presence is variable in natural infections. We also describe a variant of Jingmen tick virus, another Jingmenvirus, sequenced from a Ugandan red colobus monkey, thus expanding the host range of this segmented and likely multicomponent virus group. Collectively, this study provides evidence for the existence of multicomponent animal viruses and their potential relevance for animal and human health.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This work analyzes the high-pressure (HP) germination of spores of the food-borne pathogen Clostridium perfringens (with inner membrane [IM] germinant receptors [GRs]) and the opportunistic pathogen Clostridium difficile (with no IM GRs), which has growing implications as an emerging food safety threat. In contrast to those of spores of Bacillus species, mechanisms of HP germination of clostridial spores have not been well studied. HP treatments trigger Bacillus spore germination through spores' IM GRs at ~150 MPa or through SpoVA channels for release of spores' dipicolinic acid (DPA) at ≥400 MPa, and DPA-less spores have lower wet heat resistance than dormant spores. We found that C. difficile spores exhibited no germination events upon 150-MPa treatment and were not heat sensitized. In contrast, 150-MPa-treated unactivated C. perfringens spores released DPA and became heat sensitive, although most spores did not complete germination by fully rehydrating the spore core, but this treatment of heat-activated spores led to almost complete germination and greater heat sensitization. Spores of both clostridial organisms released DPA during 550-MPa treatment, but C. difficile spores did not complete germination and remained heat resistant. Heat-activated 550-MPa-HP-treated C. perfringens spores germinated almost completely and became heat sensitive. However, unactivated 550-MPa-treated C. perfringens spores did not germinate completely and were less heat sensitive than spores that completed germination. Since C. difficile and C. perfringens spores use different mechanisms for sensing germinants, our results may allow refinement of HP methods for their inactivation in foods and other applications and may guide the development of commercially sterile low-acid foods.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Forestry; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Tick-borne disease surveillance was conducted monthly at different sites in four southwestern provinces of the Republic of Korea (ROK) from April-October 2013. Three general habitats were surveyed: grasses (grasses and herbaceous and crawling vegetation), forests (pine, larch, deciduous, and mixed), and forests+grasses. A total of 27,029 ticks (1,534 adults; 11,755 nymphs; 13,740 larvae) belonging to three genera and five species were collected. Haemaphysalis longicornis (64.76%; 17,504) was the most commonly collected tick, followed by Haemaphysalis flava (29.22%; 7,899), Ixodes nipponensis (5.83%; 1,575), Amblyomma testudinarium (0.17%; 46), and Haemaphysalis phasiana (0.02%; 5). Overall, adult ticks accounted for only 5.68% of all ticks collected, while nymphs and larvae accounted for 43.49% and 50.83%, respectively. Haemaphysalis longicornis nymphs were commonly collected from April-June, followed by increased numbers of adults from June-August, and large numbers of larvae from August-September, while low numbers of all stages were collected during October. Haemaphysalis flava adults and nymphs were commonly collected from April-June and September-October, while large numbers of larvae were collected from July-August. Although fewer I. nipponensis were collected, seasonal developmental stage patterns followed those of H. flava. Similar proportions of males (47.96%) and females (52.04%) of H. flava were collected. However, the proportion of H. longicornis females (85.83%) collected was significantly higher than for males (14.17%), while the proportion of I. nipponensis males (57.62%) was significantly higher than for females (42.38%). Overall, the mean number of ticks collected/hour of collection was highest for forests+grasses (108.54), followed by grasses (97.28) and forests (66.64).

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Protozoology N2 - Background: The malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes a complex life cycle, including an intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, during which it is metabolically dependent on the infected human red blood cell (RBC). To describe whole cell metabolic activity within both P. falciparum and RBCs during the asexual reproduction phase of the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, we developed an integrated host-parasite metabolic modeling framework driven by time-dependent gene expression data. Results: We validated the model by reproducing the experimentally determined (1) stage-specific production of biomass components and their precursors in the parasite and (2) metabolite concentration changes in the medium of P. falciparum-infected RBC cultures. The model allowed us to explore time- and strain-dependent P. falciparum metabolism and hypothesize how host cell metabolism alters in response to malarial infection. Specifically, the metabolic analysis showed that uninfected RBCs that coexist with infected cells in the same culture decrease their production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, an oxygen-carrying regulator, reducing the ability of hemoglobin in these cells to release oxygen. Furthermore, in response to parasite-induced oxidative stress, infected RBCs downgraded their glycolytic flux by using the pentose phosphate pathway and secreting ribulose-5-phosphate. This mechanism links individually observed experimental phenomena, such as glycolytic inhibition and ribulose-5-phosphate secretion, to the oxidative stress response. Conclusions: Although the metabolic model does not incorporate regulatory mechanisms per se, alterations in gene expression levels caused by regulatory mechanisms are manifested in the model as altered metabolic states. This provides the model the capability to capture complex multicellular host-pathogen metabolic interactions of the infected RBC culture. The system-level analysis revealed complex relationships such as how the parasite can reduce oxygen release in uninfected cells in the presence of infected RBCs as well as the role of different metabolic pathways involved in the oxidative stress response of infected RBCs.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Entomology N2 - Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and nerve agents (NAs) are highly toxic chemicals that pose a significant threat to human health worldwide. These compounds induce status epilepticus (SE) by irreversibly blocking the ability of acetylcholinesterase to break down acetylcholine at neural synapses. Animal models of organophosphate-induced SE are a crucial resource for identifying new anticonvulsant therapies. Here, we describe the development of various animal models of SE induced by NA or OP exposure. Experiments in nonhuman primates, rats, mice, and guinea pigs have helped to identify novel therapeutic targets in the central nervous system, with particular success at modulating GABAergic and glutamatergic receptors. The anticonvulsants identified by NA- and OP-induced SE models are well poised for fast advancement into clinical development, and their potential utility in the broader field of epilepsy should make them all the more attractive for commercial pursuit.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - U.S. military personnel deployed to high-risk areas receive the live vaccinia virus (VACV) smallpox vaccine ACAM2000. VACV shedding from the vaccination site can result in autoinoculation and contact transmission. We previously found that the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the scarification site reduced viral shedding without altering the antibody response, as measured by plaque reduction neutralization or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In this study, we used protein microarray assays to measure the amount of immunoglobulin G antibody bound to (1) ACAM2000 itself and (2) individual VACV antigens that are present within ACAM2000. We assessed antibody binding in sera from primary smallpox vaccinees who applied PIO to the scarification site beginning on day 7 (PIO group) and from those who did not apply PIO (control group). In both cohorts, the postvaccination antibody response - in terms of antibody binding, both to ACAM2000 and to 11 individual VACV antigens - was significantly greater than the prevaccination response (all p<0.0001). The postvaccination antibody binding levels of vaccinees in the PIO group did not differ from those of control vaccinees. These findings further support the topical application of PIO, starting on day 7, to reduce the viral shedding associated with smallpox vaccination.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between individual weight status and intuitive eating or motivation for eating characteristics. Participants were predominantly white (57%), Army (91%), enlisted (72%), males (71%), with a mean age of 30±9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0±4.2 kg/m2. The cross-sectional, descriptive study included active duty service members (n=295) recruited from Texas and Washington. Validated Motivation for Eating Scale (MFES) and Intuitive Eating Scale were administered and BMI (m/kg2) was dichotomized at <25 or ≥25 kg/m2. Descriptive, correlation, t-test, and logistic regression analysis were conducted for BMI category with demographic, lifestyle, and MFES/Intuitive Eating Scale scores (α=0.05; 80% power). Thirty-six percent were normal BMI (22.7±1.6 kg/m2) and 64% were overweight/obese BMI (29.3±3.3 kg/m2). Mean BMI was 27.8±4.2 kg/m2 (males) and 24.8±3.4 kg/m2 (females) (p<0.001). Physical MFES type was predominant (77% normal BMI vs. 66% overweight; p=0.001). Males ate for physical rather than emotional reasons (p=0.014). Each 1-point increase in Reliance on Internal Hunger Satiety Score was associated with 34% lower odds of being overweight. Disparity existed between sex and intuitive eating characteristic. Increasing awareness of eating influences may improve weight-related dietary behaviors.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Background: Recent vaccine studies have shown that the magnitude of an antibody response is often insufficient to explain efficacy, suggesting that characteristics regarding the quality of the antibody response, such as its fine specificity and functional activity, may play a major role in protection. Previous studies of the lead malaria vaccine candidate, RTS,S, have shown that circumsporozoite protein (CSP)-specific antibodies and CD4+ T cell responses are associated with protection, however the role of fine specificity and biological function of CSP-specific antibodies remains to be elucidated. Here, the relationship between fine specificity, opsonization-dependent phagocytic activity and protection in RTS,S-induced antibodies is explored. Methods: A new method for measuring the phagocytic activity mediated by CSP-specific antibodies in THP-1 cells is presented and applied to samples from a recently completed phase 2 RTS,S/AS01 clinical trial. The fine specificity of the antibody response was assessed using ELISA against three antigen constructs of CSP: the central repeat region, the C-terminal domain and the full-length protein. A multi-parameter analysis of phagocytic activity and fine-specificity data was carried out to identify potential correlates of protection in RTS,S. Results: Results from the newly developed assay revealed that serum samples from RTS,S recipients displayed a wide range of robust and repeatable phagocytic activity. Phagocytic activity was correlated with full-length CSP and C-terminal specific antibody titres, but not to repeat region antibody titres, suggesting that phagocytic activity is primarily driven by C-terminal antibodies. Although no significant difference in overall phagocytic activity was observed with respect to protection, phagocytic activity expressed as 'opsonization index', a relative measure that normalizes phagocytic activity with CS antibody titres, was found to be significantly lower in protected subjects than non-protected subjects. Conclusions: Opsonization index was identified as a surrogate marker of protection induced by the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine and determined how antibody fine specificity is linked to opsonization activity. These findings suggest that the role of opsonization in protection in the RTS,S vaccine may be more complex than previously thought, and demonstrate how integrating multiple immune measures can provide insight into underlying mechanisms of immunity and protection.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Grasslands & Forage; Crop Physiology N2 - Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) in western Arizona is a testing range where Depleted uranium (DU) penetrators have been historically fired. A portion of the fired DU penetrators are being managed under controlled conditions by leaving them in place. The widespread use of DU in armor-penetrating weapons has raised environmental and human health concerns. The present study is focused on the onsite management approach and on the potential interactions with plants local to YPG. A 30 day study was conducted to assess the toxicity of DU corrosion products (e.g., schoepite and meta-schoepite) in two grass species that are native to YPG, Bermuda (Cynodon dactylon) and Purple threeawn (Aristida purpurea). In addition, the ability for plants to uptake DU was studied. The results of this study show a much lower threshold for biomass toxicity and higher plant concentrations, particularly in the roots than shoots, compared to previous studies.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Introduction: Little data exist regarding the long-term impact of excess weight on lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder (MID) in U.S. Army Soldiers. This prospective analysis examines the association between BMI of Soldiers at accession and risk of MID. Methods: A total of 736,608 Soldiers were followed from accession into the Army, 2001-2011. Data were analyzed January through March 2015. MID was categorized as any first incident lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder, and secondarily, as first incident injury/disorder at a specific site (i.e., hips, upper legs/thighs, knees, lower legs/ankles, feet/toes). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models estimated associations between BMI category at accession and MID risk. Results: During 15,678,743 person-months of follow-up, 411,413 cases of any first MID were documented (70,578 hip, 77,050 upper leg, 162,041 knee, 338,080 lower leg, and 100,935 foot injuries in secondary analyses). The overall MID rate was 2.62 per 100 person-months. Relative to Soldiers with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m2) at accession, those who were underweight (<18.5); overweight (25 to <30); or obese (≥30) had 7%, 11%, and 33% higher risk of MID, respectively, after adjustment. Risks were highest in Soldiers who were obese at accession, and lowest in those with a BMI of 21-23 kg/m2. Conclusions: Soldier BMI at accession has important implications for MID. A BMI of 21-23 kg/m2 in newly accessing Soldiers was associated with the lowest risk of incident MID, suggesting that accession be limited to people within this range to reduce overall incidence of MID among service personnel.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Emerging and re-emerging arboviruses continue to be a threat to global public health, and viral surveillance of mosquito populations is critical for mosquito control operations. Due to the tropical climate of many of the affected areas, it may be difficult to maintain a cold chain as the samples travel from collection sites to laboratories for testing. We determined how suboptimal holding temperatures affected the ability to detect viruses in pools of mosquitoes. Adult female Aedes albopictus and Ae. taeniorhynchus individuals were inoculated with chikungunya virus or Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus suspensions, respectively, and placed at 26°C for 8 days. One infected mosquito was then added to a vial of 24 negative mosquitoes and held at-80°C, -20°C, 4°C, 22°C, or 35°C for up to 14 days. Mosquito pools were analyzed for both infectious virus by plaque assay and for viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) with reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). At higher temperatures, the amount of infectious virus decreased rapidly, but viruses in samples held at 4°C or lower remained relatively stable. In contrast, viral RNA was detectable from pools held at all temperatures and holding times by RT-qPCR. Cycle threshold (Ct) values increased as temperatures and holding times increased. These findings suggest that if viral RNA detection is the goal of surveillance efforts, then mosquito pools do not require storage at ≤4°C. This enhances the feasibility of field-based arbovirus surveillance programs in which maintaining a cold chain may not be a possibility.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - The malaria SYBR green assay, which is used to profile in vitro drug susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum, is a reliable drug screening and surveillance tool. Malaria field surveillance efforts provide isolates with various low levels of parasitemia. To be advantageous, malaria drug sensitivity assays should perform reproducibly among various starting parasitemia levels rather than at one fixed initial value. We examined the SYBR green assay standardized procedure developed by the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN) for its sensitivity and ability to accurately determine the drug concentration that inhibits parasite growth by 50% (IC50) in samples with a range of initial parasitemia levels. The initial sensitivity determination of the WWARN procedure yielded a detection limit of 0.019% parasitemia. P. falciparum laboratory strains and field isolates with various levels of initial parasitemia were then subjected to a range of doses of common antimalarials. The IC50s were comparable for laboratory strains with between 0.0375% and 0.6% parasitemia and for field isolates with between 0.075% and 0.6% parasitemia for all drugs tested. Furthermore, assay quality (Z′) analysis indicated that the WWARN procedure displays high robustness, allowing for drug testing of malaria field samples within the derived range of initial parasitemia. The use of the WWARN procedure should allow for the inclusion of more malaria field samples in malaria drug sensitivity screens that would have otherwise been excluded due to low initial parasitemia levels.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Adequate fluid intake can be dually defined as a volume of fluid (from water, beverages, and food) sufficient to replace water losses and provide for solute excretion. A wide range of fluid intakes are compatible with euhydration, whereby total body water varies narrowly from day to day by 600 to 900 mL (<1% body mass). One measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to prevent meaningful body water deficits outside this euhydration range (i.e., dehydration). Another measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to balance the renal solute load, which can vary widely inside the euhydration range. The subtle but important distinction between the 2 types of adequacy may explain some of the ambiguity surrounding the efficacy of hydration status markers. Both perspectives of fluid intake adequacy are discussed in detail and a simple tool is reviewed that may help healthy, active, low-risk populations answer the question, "Am I drinking enough?".

Chlamydia laboratory testing volume also decreased from 2011 to 2013 but the test positivity rate remained stable at 6.0%-6.4%. By using projected incidence rates based on 100% of at-risk women being screened with a stable laboratory positivity rate, there was an estimated 15% decline in chlamydia incidence from 2011 to 2014 (12,794 to 10,991 infections per 100,000 p-yrs, respectively).

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Phytonutrients have rapidly emerged as natural food chemicals possessing multifaceted biological actions that may support beneficial health outcomes. Among the vast array of phytonutrients currently being studied, sulforaphane, curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol have been frequently reported to stimulate the expression of endogenous detoxification enzymes and may thereby facilitate the neutralization of otherwise harmful environmental agents. Some of these same phytonutrients, however, have also been implicated in disrupting normal cell proliferation and hence may possess toxic properties in and of themselves. In this study, we characterize the respective minimum threshold concentrations of the aforementioned phytonutrients in Hepa1c1c7 cells that stimulate NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), a key enzyme in the hepatic neutralization of menadione, other biological oxidants, and some environmental carcinogens. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that relatively low concentrations of either sulforaphane or curcumin significantly (P<.05) increase NQO1 protein expression and activity without triggering G2/M cell cycle arrest or mitotic catastrophe. The minimal quercetin concentration inducing NQO1, however, was 100-fold higher than that which disrupted mitosis. Also, while resveratrol modestly stimulated NQO1, the minimally effective resveratrol concentration concomitantly induced evidence of cellular apoptosis. Taken together, these findings indicate that only particular phytonutrients are likely efficacious in upregulating NQO1 activity without also leading to hepatic cytotoxicity.

Three SiC ABDs were pulsed 1000 times in an inductive load circuit at peak currents of over 100 A. Superior performance in peak pulse current, clamping voltage, and peak pulse power was seen, compared to the results of two series-connected commercial TVS devices, collectively having a comparable breakdown voltage. The transient thermal response of the SiC ABDs was calculated using a model for energy dissipation in short pulses. SiC ABD design parameters and test data were used to show that the reported performance of these devices was not related to package thermal impedance.

The current study investigated three task difficulty manipulations and the moderating role of personality. Participants engaged in six 7-minute missions in a videogame-based training task. Openness to experience and neuroticism, but not conscientiousness, interacted with task difficulty condition such that trainees higher in these traits performed better over the course of training in the adaptive condition. These results suggest that adaptive training can result in the greatest performance improvement when the trainee's personality is suited to the instructional environment.

The literature review encompassed modes of adapting ranging from classroom research to experimental investigations. Army instructors were interviewed to determine how they adapted instruction and the factors that impacted adapting. Integrating these efforts showed that the modes of adapting found in the literature and modes common to the Army did not overlap greatly. Army courses and populations also differed substantially from those in the literature. The research needed to address the major gaps between the academic and Army settings is discussed.

A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier's skill level and that the combined adaptive-training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.

Based on past research and theory, we expected that both hardiness and grit would predict unique variance in performance and retention even after controlling for past performance as measured by the Whole Candidate Score. Results of regression analyses revealed that hardiness and grit predicted unique variance in first year retention, but only hardiness predicted first year performance at USMA. These findings suggest that hardiness assessment and training may prove valuable in enhancing performance and retention within military training environments.

Data from 185 trainees participating in a videogame-based training environment demonstrated that a single large discrepancy negatively impacts immediate subsequent training performance. Moreover, performance avoid goal orientation and self-efficacy were found to jointly moderate the impact of the discrepancy for both trainees' immediate subsequent performance and their rate of performance improvement across the training program. These findings highlight the importance of realistic goal-setting and trainee self-efficacy for optimizing videogame-based training success.

While many corporations place a great deal of importance and invest a lot of time and money in their intranets, most do not have a reliable means of seeing how the intranets meet specific business needs, if they do at all. The authors state that companies need to move beyond usage statistics as a way of measuring effectiveness and develop tools to reveal the tangible impacts of intranets on business productivity.

Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

Army suicide rates increased from 9 per 100,000 in 2001 to 22 per 100,000 in 2009. Soldier suicides were lower than civilians from 2001 to 2007, but higher than civilians after 2007. Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%). Implications for understanding suicide among military personnel are discussed.

Method: Inpatient and outpatient records with diagnosed NIHI or blast-related comorbidities (e.g., significant threshold shift [STS], noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, eardrum perforations, mild traumatic brain injury, and posttraumatic stress disorder) were extracted for active duty soldiers returning from combat deployments. Records were limited to those within 6 months of the soldier's return date from April 2003 through June 2009. To account for changes in STS coding practice, STS rates observed after October 1, 2006, were used to extrapolate prior probable postdeployment STS. Results: Statistically significant increases were observed for tinnitus, dizziness, eardrum perforations, and speech-language disorders. The combination of observed and extrapolated STS yielded a conservative estimate of 27,427 cases. Conclusions: Estimates can be used to forecast resource requirements for hearing services among veterans. This article could serve as a guide for resourcing and innovating prevention measures and treatment in this population. Data provided may also serve as a baseline for evaluating prevention measures.

ATV safety education of youth could help reduce these tragedies. Objectives To assess the efficacy of the Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) school-based programme targeting adolescents. Methods A survey was anonymously administered before and after the programme to determine demographics, knowledge and reported likelihood of using the information learned. Results Over 4600 students in 30 Iowa schools participated from November 2010 to April 2013. Initially, 52% knew most ATVs are designed for one rider, 25% knew the recommended vehicle size for their age range and 42% knew riding on Iowa’s roads was legal only for agricultural purposes. After the programme, this increased to 92%, 82% and 76%, respectively (p<0.0001 in each case), with 61% of students correct on all three. Better preintervention scores were associated with being males, higher riding frequency and being from isolated rural communities. After the programme, 48% and 32% said they were likely/very likely versus unlikely/very unlikely to use the safety information learned, respectively; younger students, females and infrequent riders reported higher likelihoods. Conclusions STARs increased short-term ATV safety knowledge and almost half the participants reported they would use the safety information presented. Males and frequent riders seemed more resistant, but some groups that may be more vulnerable to potential ATV crash and injury appeared amenable to the training with higher increases in postprogramme scores and greater intention of improving safety behaviours.

AB - A common practice in sports science is to assess hydration status using the concentration of a single spot urine collection taken at any time of day for comparison against concentration (specific gravity, osmolality, color) thresholds established from first morning voids. There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

T1 - Energy expenditure, nutritional status, body composition and physical fitness of Royal Marines during a 6-month operational deployment in Afghanistan. JO - British Journal of Nutrition JF - British Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2014/09/14/ VL - 112 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 821 EP - 829 SN - 00071145 AB - Understanding the nutritional demands on serving military personnel is critical to inform training schedules and dietary provision. Troops deployed to Afghanistan face austere living and working environments. Observations from the military and those reported in the British and US media indicated possible physical degradation of personnel deployed to Afghanistan. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the changes in body composition and nutritional status of military personnel deployed to Afghanistan and how these were related to physical fitness. In a cohort of British Royal Marines (n 249) deployed to Afghanistan for 6 months, body size and body composition were estimated from body mass, height, girth and skinfold measurements. Energy intake (EI) was estimated from food diaries and energy expenditure measured using the doubly labelled water method in a representative subgroup. Strength and aerobic fitness were assessed. The mean body mass of volunteers decreased over the first half of the deployment ( − 4·6 (sd 3·7) %), predominately reflecting fat loss. Body mass partially recovered (mean +2·2 (sd 2·9) %) between the mid- and post-deployment periods (P< 0·05). Daily EI (mean 10 590 (sd 3339) kJ) was significantly lower than the estimated daily energy expenditure (mean 15 167 (sd 1883) kJ) measured in a subgroup of volunteers. However, despite the body mass loss, aerobic fitness and strength were well maintained. Nutritional provision for British military personnel in Afghanistan appeared sufficient to maintain physical capability and micronutrient status, but providing appropriate nutrition in harsh operational environments must remain a priority.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/08/19/ VL - 48 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 9478 EP - 9485 SN - 0013936X AB - Effective management of contaminated sediments is important for long-term human and environmental health, but site-management decisions are often made under high uncertainty and without the help of structured decision support tools. Potential trade-offs between remedial costs, environmental effects, human health risks, and societal benefits, as well as fundamental differences in stakeholder priorities, complicate decision making. Formal decision-analytic tools such as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) move beyond ad hoc decision support to quantitatively and holistically rank management alternatives and add transparency and replicability to the evaluation process. However, even the best decisions made under uncertainty may be found suboptimal in hindsight, once additional scientific, social, economic, or other details become known. Value of information (Vol) analysis extends MCDA by systematically evaluating the impact of uncertainty on a decision. Vol prioritizes future research in terms of expected decision relevance by helping decision makers estimate the likelihood that additional information will improve decision confidence or change their selection of a management plan. In this study, Vol analysis evaluates uncertainty, estimates decision confidence, and prioritizes research to inform selection of a sediment capping strategy for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan contaminated Grenland fjord system in southern Norway. The Vol model extends stochastic MCDA to model decisions with and without simulated new information and compares decision confidence across scenarios with different degrees of remaining uncertainty. Results highlight opportunities for decision makers to benefit from additional information by anticipating the improved decision confidence (or lack thereof) expected from reducing uncertainties for each criterion or combination of criteria. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of Vol analysis for environmental decisions by predicting when decisions can be made confidently, for prioritizing areas of research to pursue to improve decision confidence, and for differentiating between decision-relevant and decision-irrelevant differences in evaluation perspectives, all of which help guide meaningful deliberation toward effective consensus solutions.

JO - Journal of Shellfish Research JF - Journal of Shellfish Research Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 33 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 395 EP - 408 SN - 07308000 AB - The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a reef-forming organism commonly found in estuaries throughout the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America. Eastern oyster reefs provide several ecosystem services, including water filtration, habitat diversity, and storm surge protection, among others. Oyster abundance has declined precipitously during the past century along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts as a result of overfishing, disease and prédation, and large-scale human-mediated events. Given the importance of oysters, both ecologically and economically, there have been significant efforts during the past 20 y to reestablish and/or restore oysters to historical levels. Successful reef restoration depends on choosing sites that optimize survival, which requires an understanding of the environmental factors that influence the life stage of an oyster. For most restoration projects, time and budget constraints prevent long-term field studies; therefore, modeling is often used to determine the best locations for restoration. In this study, we developed a spatially explicit, flexible, 4-parameter habitat suitability index model that can be used to determine locations suitable for restoration of eastern oyster reefs throughout the western Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The model captures the minimum environmental parameters required for successful restoration suitability and was applied in 2 studies: (1) Chesapeake Bay, a data rich environment, and (2) northern Gulf of Mexico (western Mississippi Sound), a data poor environment. It illustrates the implications of using data of varying quality when applying the model for identifying restoration potential. In both locations, the model was most sensitive to the presence of appropriate substrate, but not as sensitive to salinity values. This model provides a scientifically based support tool for natural resource managers and project planners, and local conditions may require further consideration.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 48 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 747 EP - 757 SN - 02786826 AB - A new primary standard method for calibrating optical particle counters (OPC) has been developed based on quantitative gravitational deposition on a silicon wafer and accurate counting of the particles by a wafer surface scanner (WSS). The test aerosol consists of 3-μm diameter monodisperse polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres at concentrations in the range of 0.1 cm−3to 1 cm−3. A key element to the calibration is the ability to generate monodisperse PSL spheres without residue particles by use of a virtual impactor and differential mobility analyzer. The use of these devices reduced the percentage of residue particles from more than 99.98% to about 5%. The expanded relative uncertainty (95% confidence level) in the number concentration determined with a WSS for a deposition of 200 particles is 17.8%. The major uncertainty component arises from the Poisson fluctuations in the aerosol concentration because of the low concentration. This methodology has advantages of a fast scanning time by the WSS of minutes compared to hours or days by microscopy and of counting every particle deposited compared to often only a small fraction via microscopy. The WSS was used in the calibration of an OPC based on 12 depositions with concentrations ranging from 0.1 cm−3to 1 cm−3for each deposition. Make-up air was added to the aerosol entering the OPC so that the lowest achievable concentration for the OPC measurement is about 0.01 cm−3in this study. The detection efficiency of the OPC was measured to be 0.984 with an expanded uncertainty of 13.4%.

Despite its broad tropism, chicken cells were reported 30 years ago to resist infection. We found that Lassa virus readily engaged its cell-surface receptor α-dystroglycan in avian cells, but virus entry in susceptible species involved a pH-dependent switch to an intracellular receptor, the lysosome-resident protein LAMP1. Iterative haploid screens revealed that the sialyltransferase ST3GAL4 was required for the interaction of the virus glycoprotein with LAMP1. A single glycosylated residue in LAMP1, present in susceptible species but absent in birds, was essential for interaction with the Lassa virus envelope protein and subsequent infection. The resistance of Lamp1-deficient mice to Lassa virus highlights the relevance of this receptor switch in vivo.

SpoVAF is likely an integral inner spore membrane protein and exhibits sequence identity to A subunits of the spore's nutrient germinant receptors (GRs), while SpoVAEa is a soluble protein with no obvious signals to allow its passage across a membrane. However, like SpoVAD, SpoVAEa is present on the outer surface of the spore's inner membrane, as SpoVAEa was accessible to an external biotinylation agent in spores and SpoVAEa disappeared in parallel with SpoVAD during proteinase K treatment of germinated spores. SpoVAEa and SpoVAD were also distributed similarly in fractions of disrupted dormant spores. Unlike spoVAD, spoVAEa is absent from the genomes of some spore-forming members of the Bacillales and Clostridiales orders, although Spo-VAEa's amino acid sequence is conserved in species containing spoVAEa. B. subtilis strains lacking SpoVAE or SpoVAEa and SpoVAE sporulated normally, and the spores had normal DPA levels. Spores lacking SpoVAE or SpoVAEa and SpoVAE also germinated normally with non-GR-dependent germinants but more slowly than wild-type spores with GR-dependent germinants, and this germination defect was complemented by ectopic expression of the missing proteins.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 154 M3 - Article SP - 213 EP - 223 SN - 01657836 AB - The miniaturization of acoustic transmitters may allow greater flexibility in terms of the size and species of fish available to tag. New downsized injectable acoustic tags similar in shape to passive integrated transponder tags can be rapidly injected rather than surgically implanted through a sutured incision. Before wide-scale field use of these injectable transmitters, standard protocols to ensure the most effective and least damaging methods of implantation must be developed. Three implantation methods were tested in various sizes of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha). Methods included a needle bevel-down injection, a needle bevel-up injection with a 90Ã?° rotation, and tag implantation through an unsutured incision. Tagged fish were compared to untagged control groups. Weight and wound area were measured at tagging and every week for 3 weeks; holding tanks were checked daily for mortalities and tag losses. No significant differences among treatments were found in tag loss, or survival, but wound area was significantly reduced among fish tagged via an incision and growth was slightly reduced in bevel down fish. Although there were no significant differences, the bevel-up injection trended toward having the worst results in terms of tag loss and wound area and had high mortality. Implantation through an incision resulted in the lowest tag loss but the highest mortality. Fish from the bevel-down treatment group had the least mortality and smaller wound areas than the bevel-up treatment group but also showed reduced growth. Cumulatively, the data suggest that the unsutured incision and bevel-down injection methods were the most effective; the drawbacks of both methods are described in detail.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 154 M3 - Article SP - 152 EP - 164 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: We introduce a method for hydro turbine biological performance assessment (BioPA) to bridge the gap between field and laboratory studies on fish injury and turbine engineering design. Using this method, a suite of biological performance indicators is computed based on simulated data from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a proposed hydro turbine design. Each performance indicator is a measure of the probability of exposure to a certain dose of an injury mechanism. If the relationship between the dose of an injury mechanism (stressor) and frequency of injury (dose–response) is known from laboratory or field studies, the likelihood of fish injury for a turbine design can be computed from the performance indicator. By comparing the values of the indicators from various turbine designs, engineers and biologists can identify the more-promising designs and operating conditions to minimize hydraulic conditions hazardous to passing fish. In this paper, the BioPA method is applied to estimate barotrauma induced mortal injury rates for Chinook salmon exposed to rapid pressure changes in Kaplan-type hydro turbines. Following the description of the general method, application of the BioPA to estimate the probability of mortal injury from exposure to rapid decompression is illustrated using a Kaplan hydro turbine at the John Day Dam on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA. The estimated rates of mortal injury increased from 0.3% to 1.7% as discharge through the turbine increased from 334 to 564m3/s for fish assumed to be acclimated to a depth of 5m. The majority of pressure nadirs occurred immediately below the runner blades, with the lowest values in the gap at the blade tips and just below the leading edge of the blades. Such information can help engineers focus on problem areas when designing new turbine runners to be more fish-friendly than existing units.

Rapid combustion events have been demonstrated with flame propagation speeds eclipsing 3km/s, but much is still unknown about the controlling parameters of porous silicon combustion. Recent studies show that implementation of microstructure within a nanoporous silicon film greatly increases reaction rate of a relatively slow burning system. The present work utilizes porous silicon microchannels to enhance an already rapidly-reacting system. Reactions in channeled porous silicon regions of this system propagated at speeds up to 1.2km/s faster than similar neat porous silicon films. The fastest propagation speed was 3660m/s, the highest reported flame speed for comparable nanoenergetic systems to date. We provide evidence that the enhancement of flame propagation rates by channeled porous silicon is mechanistically different from the convectively controlled burning of neat porous silicon. This evidence suggests the presence of acoustically aided reactions for porous silicon channel combustion where the channels more readily ignite compared to neat porous silicon. We predict this allows for propagation of the reaction by intense sound waves within the porous medium.

The objective of this study is to develop an innovative treatment process to remove both perchlorate and energetic compounds simultaneously from PAX-21 production wastewater. It was hypothesized that the pretreatment of PAX-21 wastewater with zero-valent iron (ZVI) would convert energetic compounds to products that are more amenable for biological oxidation and that these products serve as electron donors for perchlorate-reducing bacteria. Results of batch ZVI reduction experiments showed that DNAN was completely reduced to 2,4-diaminoanisole and RDX was completely reduced to formaldehyde. Anaerobic batch biodegradation experiments showed that perchlorate (30 mg L−1) in ZVI-treated PAX-21 wastewater was decreased to an undetectable level after 5 days. Batch biodegradation experiments also confirmed that formaldehyde in ZVI-treated wastewater was the primary electron donor for perchlorate-respiring bacteria. The integrated iron-anaerobic bioreactor system was effective in completely removing energetic compounds and perchlorate from the PAX-21 wastewater without adding an exogenous electron donor. This study demonstrated that ZVI pretreatment not only removed energetic compounds, but also transformed energetic compounds to products that can serve as the source of electrons for perchlorate-respiring bacteria.

Limited information is available about tick populations or pathogens in this area, and no data regarding frequency of tick bites or prevention measures among Gettysburg NMP employees are available. To address these gaps, ticks were collected, classified, and replaced (to minimize disruptions to tick populations) at two sites within Gettysburg NMP during April-September, 2009, among eight nonremoval samplings. On two additional occasions during May and June, 2009, ticks were collected and removed from the two original sites plus 10 additional sites and tested for tick-borne pathogens by using PCR. A self-administered anonymous survey of Gettysburg NMP employees was conducted to determine knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding tick-borne diseases. Peak Ixodes scapularis nymph populations were observed during May-July. Of 115 I. scapularis ticks tested, 21% were infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, including 18% of 74 nymphs and 27% of 41 adults; no other pathogen was identified. The entomologic risk index was calculated at 1.3 infected nymphs/hour. An adult and nymph Amblyomma americanum were also found, representing the first confirmed field collection of this tick in Pennsylvania, but no pathogens were detected. The survey revealed that most park employees believed Lyme disease was a problem at Gettysburg NMP and that they frequently found ticks on their skin and clothing. However, use of personal preventive measures was inconsistent, and 6% of respondents reported contracting Lyme disease while employed at Gettysburg NMP. These findings indicate a need to improve surveillance for tick bites among employees and enhance prevention programs for park staff and visitors.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 34 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Filoviruses are members of the genera Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and "Cuevavirus". Because they cause human disease with high lethality and could potentially be used as a bioweapon, these viruses are classified as CDC Category A Bioterrorism Agents. Filoviruses are relatively stable in aerosols, retain virulence after lyophilization, and can be present on contaminated surfaces for extended periods of time. This study explores the characteristics of aerosolized Sudan virus (SUDV) Boniface in non-human primates (NHP) belonging to three different species. Groups of cynomolgus macaques (cyno), rhesus macaques (rhesus), and African green monkeys (AGM) were challenged with target doses of 50 or 500 plaque-forming units (pfu) of aerosolized SUDV. Exposure to either viral dose resulted in increased body temperatures in all three NHP species beginning on days 4-5 post-exposure. Other clinical findings for all three NHP species included leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, dehydration, and lymphadenopathy. Disease in all of the NHPs was severe beginning on day 6 post-exposure, and all animals except one surviving rhesus macaque were euthanized by day 14. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) concentrations were elevated during the course of disease in all three species; however, AGMs had significantly higher ALT and AST concentrations than cynos and rhesus. While all three species had detectable viral load by days 3-4 post exposure, Rhesus had lower average peak viral load than cynos or AGMs. Overall, the results indicate that the disease course after exposure to aerosolized SUDV is similar for all three species of NHP.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - The Thai Phase III clinical trial (RV144) showed modest efficacy in preventing HIV-1 acquisition. Plasma collected from HIV-1-uninfected trial participants completing all injections with ALVAC-HIV (vCP1521) prime and AIDSVAX B/E boost were tested for antibody responses against HIV-1 gp120 envelope (Env). Peptide microarray analysis from six HIV-1 subtypes and group M consensus showed that vaccination induced antibody responses to the second variable (V2) loop of gp120 of multiple subtypes. We further evaluated V2 responses by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance using cyclic (Cyc) and linear V2 loop peptides. Thirty-one of 32 vaccine recipients tested (97%) had antibody responses against Cyc V2 at 2 weeks postimmunization with a reciprocal geometric mean titer (GMT) of 1100 (range: 200-3200). The frequency of detecting plasma V2 antibodies declined to 19% at 28 weeks post-last injection (GMT: 110, range: 100-200). Antibody responses targeted the mid-region of the V2 loop tha contains conserved epitopes and has the amino acid sequence KQKVHALFYKLDIVPI (HXB2 Numbering sequence 169-184). Valine at position 172 was critical for antibody binding. The frequency of V3 responses at 2 weeks postimmunization was modest (18/32, 56%) with a GMT of 185 (range: 100-800). In contrast, naturally infected HIV-1 individuals had a lower frequency of antibody responses to V2 (10/20, 50%; p=0.003) and a higher frequency of responses to V3 (19/20, 95%), with GMTs of 400 (range: 100-3200) and 3570 (range: 200-12,800), respectively. RV144 vaccination induced antibodies that targeted a region of the V2 loop that contains conserved epitopes. Early HIV-1 transmission events involve V2 loop interactions, raising the possibility that anti-V2 antibodies in RV144 may have contributed to viral inhibition.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Background: United States Army Soldiers regularly use dietary supplements (DS) to promote general health, enhance muscle strength, and increase energy, but limited scientific evidence supports the use of many DS for these benefits. This study investigated factors associated with Soldiers' confidence in the efficacy and safety of DS, and assessed Soldiers' knowledge of federal DS regulatory requirements. Methods: Between 2006 and 2007, 990 Soldiers were surveyed at 11 Army bases world-wide to assess their confidence in the effectiveness and safety of DS, knowledge of federal DS regulations, demographic characteristics, lifestyle-behaviors and DS use. Results: A majority of Soldiers were at least somewhat confident that DS work as advertised (67%) and thought they are safe to consume (71%). Confidence in both attributes was higher among regular DS users than non-users. Among users, confidence in both attributes was positively associated with rank, self-rated diet quality and fitness level, education, and having never experienced an apparent DS-related adverse event. Fewer than half of Soldiers knew the government does not require manufacturers to demonstrate efficacy, and almost a third incorrectly believed there are effective pre-market federal safety requirements for DS. Conclusions: Despite limited scientific evidence supporting the purported benefits and safety of many popular DS, most Soldiers were confident that DS are effective and safe. The positive associations between confidence and DS use should be considered when developing DS-related interventions or policies. Additionally, education to clarify Soldiers' misperceptions about federal DS safety and efficacy regulations is warranted.

Subject Subsets: Plant Pathology; Weeds N2 - We study the behavior of pathogens on host protein networks for humans and Arabidopsis - noting striking similarities. Specifically, we preform k-shell decomposition analysis on these networks - which groups the proteins into various "shells" based on network structure. We observe that shells with a higher average degree are more highly targeted (with a power-law relationship) and that highly targeted nodes lie in shells closer to the inner-core of the network. Additionally, we also note that the inner core of the network is significantly under-targeted.

N2 - Current vaccine approaches to combat anthrax are effective; however, they target only a single protein [the protective antigen (PA) toxin component] that is produced after spore germination. PA production is subsequently increased during later vegetative cell proliferation. Accordingly, several aspects of the vaccine strategy could be improved. The inclusion of spore-specific antigens with PA could potentially induce protection to initial stages of the disease. Moreover, adding other epitopes to the current vaccine strategy will decrease the likelihood of encountering a strain of Bacillus anthracis (emerging or engineered) that is refractory to the vaccine. Adding recombinant spore-surface antigens (e.g. BclA, ExsFA/BxpB and p5303) to PA has been shown to augment protection afforded by the latter using a challenge model employing immunosuppressed mice challenged with spores derived from the attenuated Sterne strain of B. anthracis. This report demonstrated similar augmentation utilizing guinea pigs or mice challenged with spores of the fully virulent Ames strain or a non-toxigenic but encapsulated ΔAmes strain of B. anthracis, respectively. Additionally, it was shown that immune interference did not occur if optimal amounts of antigen were administered. By administering the toxin and spore-based immunogens simultaneously, a significant adjuvant effect was also observed in some cases. Thus, these data further support the inclusion of recombinant spore antigens in next-generation anthrax vaccine strategies.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Leisure, Recreation, Tourism N2 - Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries, particularly sprains, are common in athletic populations and may result in significant time lost to injury. However, surprisingly, little is known of the epidemiology of this injury. Purpose: To define the incidence of AC joint injuries and to determine the risk factors for injury. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiological study. Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was performed to determine the incidence and characteristics of AC joint injury at the United States Military Academy between 2005 and 2009. All suspected AC joint injuries were reviewed by an independent orthopaedic surgeon using both chart reviews as well as assessments of radiological imaging studies. Injuries were graded according to the modified Rockwood classification system as well as dichotomized into low-grade (Rockwood types I and II) and high-grade (Rockwood types III, IV, V, and VI) injuries for analysis. Injury mechanisms, return-to-play timing, and athlete-exposures were documented and analyzed. χ2 and Poisson regression analyses were performed, with statistical significance set at P<.05. Results: During the study period, 162 new AC joint injuries and 17,606 person-years at risk were documented, for an overall incidence rate of 9.2 per 1000 person-years. The majority of the AC joint injuries were low-grade (145 sprains, 89%) injuries, with 17 high-grade injuries. Overall, male patients experienced a significantly higher incidence rate for AC joint injuries than female patients (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 2.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-4.31). An AC joint injury occurred most commonly during athletics (91%). The incidence rate of AC joint injury was significantly higher in intercollegiate athletes than intramural athletics when using athlete-exposure as a measure of person-time at risk (IRR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.31-3.56). Similarly, the incidence rate of AC injury was significantly higher among male intercollegiate athletes when compared to female athletes (IRR, 3.56; 95% CI, 1.74-8.49) when using athlete-exposure as the denominator. The intercollegiate sports of men's rugby, wrestling, and hockey had the highest incidence rate of AC joint injury. Acromioclavicular injuries resulted in at least 1359 total days lost to injury and an average of 18.4 days lost per athlete. The average time lost to injury for low-grade sprains was 10.4 days compared with high-grade injuries at 63.7 days. Of the patients with high-grade injuries, 71% elected to undergo coracoclavicular/AC reconstructions. The rate of surgical intervention was 19 times higher for high-grade AC joint injuries than for low-grade injuries (IRR, 19.2; 95% CI, 7.64-48.23; P<.0001). Conclusion: Acromioclavicular separations are relatively common in young athletes. Most injuries occur during contact sports such as rugby, wrestling, and hockey. Male athletes are at greater risk than female athletes. Intercollegiate athletes are at greater risk than intramural athletes. The average time lost to sport due to AC joint injury was 18 days, with low-grade injuries averaging 10 days lost. High-grade injuries averaged 64 days lost to sport, and 71% elected to undergo surgical repair/reconstruction.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health; Veterinary Science N2 - Since its emergence in the north-eastern and upper mid-western United States in the 1970s, Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, has captured the public's attention as the nation's most prevalent vector-borne zoonotic disease. In contrast, recent publications on tick-pathogen systems in the eastern United States, and findings from Department of Defense investigations of ticks found biting military personnel, indicate that residents of the south-eastern United States are primarily at risk from emerging diseases caused by tick-borne pathogens other than B. burgdorferi. The risk of contracting these diseases varies greatly among states as a consequence of regional variation in the abundance of the key vector tick species. Moreover, this risk is changing, because tick distributions are in flux. To improve health outcomes, health providers need better information and awareness regarding which tick species bite humans in each state and which zoonotic pathogens are prevalent in these ticks. Effective diagnosis, treatment, control and reporting of tick-borne disease in the south-eastern United States require that health providers think 'beyond Lyme' and consider the marked regional differences in the tick species that bite humans and in the pathogens that these ticks carry.

One of the most prominent shortcomings is an absence of theories that can effectively explain the factors that shape the counterterrorism policies of democratic regimes. The present study attempts to fill this theoretical void in two ways. First, it proposes an analytical framework for a classification of counterterrorism policies. Second, it presents a theoretical framework that strives to uncover the factors that have influenced the struggle against domestic terrorism in democratic regimes. The analyses, which have used a unique and comprehensive dataset that documents counterterrorism policies in eighty-three democracies, show that the robustness of the regime's democratic foundations as well as the symbolic effect of terrorism are major forces in shaping the democratic response to it, while the direct impact of terrorism is less influential than assumed in the literature.

This problem is driven by a lack of knowledge on both the capability developer and program manager teams. Addressing this knowledge gap requires a new approach to capability development, where knowledge gained early in the process is injected into the capability development process in a rigorous way. This article describes that new technical approach along with lessons learned on two large acquisition programs. Key tenets include the use of pre-planned knowledge points as a vehicle for expanded collaboration between program managers and capability developers, and early use of systems engineering fundamentals.

While notable exceptions emerged during the Global War on Terrorism (i.e., rapid development/ fielding of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and Improvised Explosive Device defeat systems), "Acquisition Reform" efforts have not consistently yielded a process/system that delivers products faster, better, or cheaper. In 2009, President Obama took the initiative to give reforms another try. Through an analysis that applies John P. Kotter's model of organizational change and Edgar H. Schein's approach to organizational culture and leadership, the conclusion suggests that current initiatives will not be successful. Behavioral change is needed to embed transformation. Acquisition reforms can be coerced, but will not endure as true transformation unless cultural change occurs.

While much of the Vietnam historiography maintains that ‘body counts’ served as the primary, if not only, indicator of wartime success, such arguments overlook the vast numbers of reports attempting to measure progress and performance. Problems in evaluating progress stemmed not from a lack of effort on the part of army officers or from a single-minded commitment to counting bodies. Rather, complications arose from attempting to collect too many facts, figures, and statistics without evaluating how accurately such data reflected progress in a complex political-military environment.

Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.

Many of the solutions the military has proposed to meet these challenges depend heavily on adaptive training. The purpose of this special issue is to examine current trends in adaptive training, with a particular attention to the military environment. This article summarizes contemporary approaches and challenges to implementing adaptive training and provides an overview of the articles included in the special issue.

The literature review encompassed modes of adapting ranging from classroom research to experimental investigations. Army instructors were interviewed to determine how they adapted instruction and the factors that impacted adapting. Integrating these efforts showed that the modes of adapting found in the literature and modes common to the Army did not overlap greatly. Army courses and populations also differed substantially from those in the literature. The research needed to address the major gaps between the academic and Army settings is discussed.

The current study investigated three task difficulty manipulations and the moderating role of personality. Participants engaged in six 7-minute missions in a videogame-based training task. Openness to experience and neuroticism, but not conscientiousness, interacted with task difficulty condition such that trainees higher in these traits performed better over the course of training in the adaptive condition. These results suggest that adaptive training can result in the greatest performance improvement when the trainee's personality is suited to the instructional environment.

A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier's skill level and that the combined adaptive-training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.

Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

Methods: Fifty-four Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. Results: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculo- skeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (- 11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (- 10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.00l), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO2 peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = -0.45 to -0.28, p ≤ 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources.

No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. Methods: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant's ability to give care to trauma patients. Results: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). Discussion: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. Conclusion: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) circuit-style training program compared to standard Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT) on fitness, physiological, and body composition changes. Active duty Army personnel were randomly assigned to two groups (MEF = 34 or APRT = 33) for 8 weeks of training (15 sessions each). The MEF program included functional movements focused on strength, power, speed, and agility. Fifteen exercises were performed continuously for 60 to 90 seconds for 45 minutes. Baseline and post-test measures included the Army physical fitness test, physiological indicators, body composition, and additional fitness indicators. One-way analysis of covariance models indicated that MEF participants significantly increased their push-ups (p = 0.033), bench press (p = 0.001), and flexibility (p = 0.003) and significantly decreased their 2-mile run (p = 0.003) and step test heart rate (p = 0.004) compared to participants doing APRT. Both groups maintained body composition (p > 0.05) and reported no injuries. The MEF training program safely improved muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, supporting functional fitness circuit-style exercise training for military personnel.

An injury prevention strategy began in late 2008 that included: (1) leadership education, (2) leader- ship enforcement of proven methods, and (3) injury surveillance and reporting. Data on FNSI and removal from training for injury were analyzed based on the fiscal year 2006 through 2010 (n = 210,002). For men, FNSI were reduced from 13 to 20 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 8 cases/10,000 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women, FNSI were reduced from 35 to 41 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 18 cases/10,000 recruits per year in 2010 (p < 0.01). For men, removals from training for injury were reduced from 0.8 to 1.1 cases/100 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 0.5 cases/100 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women removal from training for injury was reduced from 2.3 to 2.4 cases/100 recruits (2006-2008) to 1.0 case/100 recruits per years in 2010 (p < 0.01). The time course of the changes suggests that following specific injury prevention methods was effective in reducing injuries.

T1 - No Effect of Mild Nonconcussive Injury on Neurocognitive Functioning in U.S. Army Soldiers Deployed to Iraq. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2012/09// Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 177 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1011 EP - 1014 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - With neurocognitive testing being heavily relied on for concussion assessments in the U.S. Warfighter, there is a need to investigate the impact of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Objectives: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. Methods: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). Results: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater.

The prevalence of these injuries has compelled the nation and Congress to invest in the development of policies and programs that support evidence-based care for the full continuum of TBI, from mild (otherwise known as concussion) to severe and penetrating brain injuries. Although, the Department of Defense has made great strides in the areas of TBI clinical care, education, and research, there remains a great need to leverage scientific, policy, and clinical advancement to maximize care of the service member. The purpose of this article is to outline the 7 major areas of work currently being undertaken to help advance the field of TBI. The 7 areas include: (1) eliminating undetected mild traumatic brain injury through prompt early diagnosis, (2) ensuring force readiness and addressing cultural barriers, (3) improving collaborations with the Department of Veterans Affairs, other federal agencies, and academic and civilian organizations, (4) improving deployment-related assessments, (5) deploying effective treatments, (6) conducting military-relevant and targeted research, and (7) enhancing information technology systems.

The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of occupants of military motor vehicle (MMV) crashes involving HMMWVs that occurred among deployed U.S. Army Soldiers. Crash-related data were collected from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on MMV crashes among active duty Army personnel between 1999 and 2006. Records for 964 occupants with injuries from HMMWV crashes were analyzed, which represented 52% of the total occupants of MMV crashes. A significant association was observed between injury and engagement in combat, odds ratio 1.49 (1.03, 2.16). The risk of injury was greatest for gunners, odds ratio 2.37 (1.43, 3.92), and injury cost related to the crash was significantly related to prior deployment status (p < 0.001) and role of Soldier in the vehicle (Operator p = 0.005, Gunner p = 0.003). There was also a decrease over time in the number of crashes resulting in injury (p < 0.001). These data support the development of interventions that address the specific risks detailed, including the use of combat simulation training, increased protection for vulnerable positions, and enforcement of safety regulations.

An investigation was initiated to determine if patient-to-patient bloodborne transmission occurred from the practice. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing was offered to patients hospitalized from August 2007 to January 2009 and prescribed insulin pen injections. Virus from HCV-infected patients' sera was sequenced and compared for relatedness. An anonymous survey was administered to nurses. Of 2,113 patients prescribed insulin pen injections, 1,501 (71%) underwent testing; 6 (0.4%) were HIV positive, 6 (0.4%) were hepatitis B surface antigen positive, and 56 (3.7%) had HCV antibody. No viral sequences from 10 of 28 patients with newly diagnosed and 12 of 28 patients with preexisting HCV infection were closely related. Of 54 nurses surveyed, 74% reported being trained on insulin pen use, but 24% believed nurses used insulin pens on more than one patient. We found no clear evidence of bloodborne pathogen transmission. Training of hospital staff on correct use of insulin pens should be prioritized and their practices evaluated. Insulin pens should be more clearly labeled for single-patient use.

As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms. This study presents two significant capability findings associated with the future aeromedical evacuation platform and one doctrinal finding associated with medical planning for future brigade operations. The three results follow: (1) Given simplifying assumptions and constraints for a scenario where a future brigade is operating in a 300 x 300² km the zero-risk aircraft ground speed required for the FVL platform is 350 nautical miles per hour (knots); (2) Given these same assumptions and constraints with the future brigade projecting power in a circle of radius 150 km, the zero-risk ground speed required for the FVL platform is 260 knots; and (3) Given uncertain casualty locations associated with future brigade stability and support operations, colocating aeromedical evacuation assets and surgical elements mathematically optimizes the 60-minute set covering problem.

We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) to compute unadjusted and adjusted rates of KI, categorized by the Barell Matrix, within the ADA for the years 2000-2005. During this period, 21 to 25 per 1,000 ADA suffered from KI. The highest yearly rates were observed for knee dislocation and sprains/strains (31 per 1,000 ADA). In ADA with a history of a KI (within 2 years), rates increased nearly tenfold. Elevated KI rates were also seen in ADA with prior upper or lower leg injuries, those >30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2012/07// Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 177 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 804 EP - 813 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the occurrence of visual dysfunctions and associated symptoms in active duty warfighters during the subacute stage of blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements. A reading test should be included in all routine exams as a functional assessment of the integration of oculomotor functions.

The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

Methods: Deploying soldiers (N = 260) completed the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. Cognitive tests, a deployment healthhistory questionnaire, and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Military Version were completed by subsamples of available participants. Results: The prevalence of positive ASRS screens was 10.4%. ASRS scores were correlated with PTSD avoidance (n = 63, p = 0.37, p - 0.003), hyperarousal (17 = 63, p = 0.25, p = 0.047), and total PTSD scores (n = 62, p = 0.33, p = 0.009); and all six moods (e.g., anger, anxiety) scale scores (n = 110; p = -0.37 to 0.43). ASRS was also correlated with scores on the match-to-sample (n = 110, p = -0.23, p = 0.014) and emotional Stroop (n = 108, p = -0.23, p = 0.016) tasks. In addition, a differential pattern between subtypes of ADHD was noted with regard to cognitive functioning, mood, and combat stress symptomatology. Conclusions: Although the results are preliminary given the sample size, the prevalence and comorbidities of ADHD appear to be similar among military and nonmilitary populations.

T1 - The ANAM Lacks Utility as a Diagnostic or Screening Tool for Concussion More Than 10 Days Following Injury. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2012/02// Y1 - 2012/02// VL - 177 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 179 EP - 183 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Congress has mandated that the Department of Defense perform screening for concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, on all service members redeploying from Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the retrospective diagnosis of concussion is complicated by the subjective nature of the complaints, overlap of symptoms with other conditions, and the normally rapid recovery of neurocognitive function following a concussive event. One diagnostic and screening test in current use by the Department of Defense is the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM). A team of researchers deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to test the validity of the ANAM for the diagnosis of concussion in the combat environment. Performance by concussed participants on all six ANAM subtests was compared with that of controls. The ANAM appears to have no utility as an individual diagnostic or population screening tool for the detection of neurocognitive dysfunction from a single, uncomplicated concussion when administered 10 or more days following injury. Further studies are required to determine the modalities providing optimal sensitivity and specificity for use as diagnostic or screening tests beyond the first 72-hour acute postinjury period.

This article examines the Bundeswehr's re-armament and its operational and tactical organization as well as the weapons systems, most notably the development of a whole new generation of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles or personnel carriers that were far superior to either their Soviet or American counterparts. The article likewise examines the incorporation of tactics and operational doctrine employed by the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front (1941–1945) during World War II.

This article describes the impact of such uncertainties, and how they can be efficiently addressed and quantified with stochastic sampling techniques such as Monte Carlo and Latin hypercube sampling (LHS). Extensions to these techniques, such as importance sampling based on simpler, more efficient propagation models, and adaptive importance sampling, are described. A relatively simple example problem involving the Lloyd's mirror effect for an elevated sound source in a homogeneous atmosphere is considered first, followed by a more complicated example involving near-ground sound propagation with refraction and scattering by turbulence. When uncertainties in the atmospheric and ground properties dominate, LHS with importance sampling is found to converge to an accurate estimate with the fewest samples. When random turbulent scattering dominates, the sampling method has little impact. A comprehensive computational approach is demonstrated that is both efficient and accurate, while simultaneously incorporating broadband sources, turbulent scattering, and uncertainty in the environmental properties.

In 2010, the state of Wisconsin implemented a law that banned smoking in all public places. Using a panel of county-level employment data, I examine the relationship between the implementation of smoking bans in Wisconsin and the subsequent changes in bar and restaurant employment. Using variation in the timing of bans that occurred as a result of four counties that implemented local bans prior to the July 2010 statewide ban, I conduct a difference-in-differences analysis to measure the average treatment effect of implementing a smoking ban in Wisconsin. I find that restaurant employment is not affected and that bar employment is significantly reduced as a result of the smoking ban. I also find that counties with higher levels of smoking prevalence see greater reductions in bar employment when a smoking ban is enacted. Back-of-the-envelope estimates suggest that even though there are employment losses, the benefits of the smoking ban outweigh the costs.

We suggest that existing techniques gathered from diverse fields can be incorporated within the framework of systems engineering methodology to accomplish this. Specifically, adopting probabilistic (Monte Carlo) design techniques allows the designer to incorporate uncertainty explicitly into the design process and to improve the designer's understanding of the root causes of failures and how often these might realistically occur. In high-reliability systems in which failure occurs infrequently, rare-event simulation techniques can reduce the computational burden of achieving this understanding. This paper provides an introductory survey of the literature on systems engineering, requirements engineering, Monte Carlo simulation, probabilistic design, and rare-event simulation with the aim of assessing the degree to which these have been integrated in systems design for reliability. This leads naturally to a proposed framework for the fusion of these techniques.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Employers, courts, and the general public judge the credibility of professionals based on credentials such as academic degrees, publications, memberships in professional organizations, board certifications, and professional registrations. However, the relevance and merit of these credentials can be difficult to determine objectively. Board certification can be a reliable indicator of proficiency if the certifying organization demonstrates, through regularly scheduled independent review, that its processes meet established standards and when a certificate holder is required to periodically demonstrate command of a body of knowledge that is essential to current professional practice. Objective: We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. Discussion: An examination is the most commonly used instrument for testing a certification candidate's command of the body of knowledge. However, an examination-based certification is only creditable when the body of knowledge, to which a certification examination tests, is representative of the current knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to effectively practice at the professional level. Thus, that body of knowledge must be the current "Standard of Knowledge" for the profession, compiled in a transparent fashion from current practitioners of the profession. Conclusion: This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

Teams play a number of games within their divisions and fewer games against teams in different divisions and conferences. Usually, a league structure remains stable from one season to the next. However, structures change when growth or contraction occurs, and realignment of the four major professional sports leagues in North America has occurred more than 25 times since 1967. In this paper, we describe a method for realigning sports leagues that is flexible, adaptive, and that enables construction of schedules that minimize travel while satisfying other criteria. We do not build schedules; we develop league structures which support the subsequent construction of efficient schedules. Our initial focus is the NHL, which had a need for realignment following the recent move of the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg, but our methods can be adapted to virtually any situation. We examine a variety of scenarios for the NHL, and apply our methods to the NBA, MLB, and NFL. We find the biggest improvements for MLB and the NFL, where adopting the best solutions would reduce league travel by about 20%.

To obtain further insight into this sport, the current study examined the training and competition experiences of UM runners. Phenomenological interviews were conducted with 26 participants ranging in age from 32 to 67 years (M = 44.1 yrs, SD = 8.1). Qualitative analysis of the interview data identified meaning units, which were grouped into major themes. A final thematic structure revealed five major themes that characterized the participant's experience of UM running: preparation and strategy, management, discovery, personal achievement, and community. Taken together, the present results extend previous research on UM running and provide a number of suggestions for sport psychology consultants working with UM runners.

The objective of this study was to identify predictors of recovery among U.S. Marines who had musculoskeletal injuries of the back, knee, or shoulder. Methods A sample of 134 participants was assessed at baseline and followed for 1 year to determine outcome information. Results The strongest predictor of injury recovery at the 1-year follow-up was recovery expectations. In a multivariate logistic model with key demographic and psychosocial factors controlled, individuals who had high recovery expectations at baseline were over five times as likely to be recovered at follow-up as individuals who had low expectations (OR = 5.18, p < .01). Conclusions This finding is consistent with a large body of research that has linked recovery expectations with better recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal injuries as well as with research linking recovery expectations with better outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Applied to military populations, interventions designed to modify recovery expectations may have the potential to improve rates of return to duty and to reduce rates of disability discharge.

AB - This study examined psychological and physical health factors in a cohort of U.S. Marine recruits with the goal of developing a comprehensive understanding of attributes recruits bring to training. 1,350 male recruits completed a multimeasure survey during the first week of training. A 2-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to explore the relationship of hardiness dimensions on several psychological and physical factors. Compared with other military samples, this cohort reported similar levels on hardiness control and rigidity subscales. Recruits who reported higher scores on a measure of positive hardiness also reported higher scores on measures of grit, grit ambition, sensation seeking, training expectations, positive ways of coping, physical and mental health, fitness scores, and lower scores on a measure of depression. This study provides a more complete understanding of the complex array of attributes of Marine recruits and forms a foundation for predictive models of injury risk and/or attrition.

AB - Most existing literature on religion/spirituality (R/S) and resiliency focuses on mainstream populations, where R/S appears to be a search for positive meaning, protective factors, and a predictor of successful adaptation in coping with adversity. The role of R/S in fostering resilience among Muslim Military Personnel (MMP) and other minority faith groups is understudied, and it remains unclear how religious coping strategies apply to minority religious groups when faced with faith-related stressors. This study explores situations in which R/S is perceived as both a protective and a risk factor for MMP and describes the effects that faith-related stressors have on their psychological wellbeing. The study used in-depth individual interviews with 20 U.S. MMP, active, reserves/national guards, and retired, from different backgrounds. Grounded thematic analysis guided the processing of qualitative interview data, using the software package NVivo9. The results demonstrate the central role of R/S and practice in the life of MMP, support the approach of understanding resiliency through vulnerability, as well as the importance of the cultural meaning MMP attach to their experiences with adversity and how these meanings contribute to their resiliency. The study has policy and practice implications for social work and other helping professions, as well as for current and likely future American wars and the organization of faith-based services within the total U.S. Armed Forces (USAF).

AB - Individuals in high-risk occupations (e.g., military service) often report physical, psychological, and organizational problems. Although leaders can partially buffer their subordinates against these problems, the impact of established leadership skills appears limited, especially in high-risk occupations. Thus, building on recent theories of domain-specific leadership, we examined whether leadership focused on the specific domain of sleep might be negatively associated with some specific problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations, beyond their relationship with general leadership. Studying military personnel on peacekeeping and combat deployments, we predicted that “sleep leadership” would be negatively associated with sleep problems (physical), depressive symptoms (psychological), and negative climate (organizational), and that sleep would mediate the relationship between sleep leadership and the psychological and organizational problems. Results were generally supportive, contributing to theories of domain-specific leadership by showing that sleep-focused leader behaviors may go beyond general leadership behaviors, relating directly to the problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations.

While some evidence suggests that dry needling may decrease nocioceptive sensitivity and facilitate muscle function, no studies to date have examined these physiologic changes compared to clinical outcomes. Objective To examine changes in lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle function and nociceptive sensitivity after dry needling in patients with LBP and to determine if such changes differ in patients that exhibit improved disability (responders) and those that do not (non-responders). Design Quasi-experimental study. Methods Sixty-six volunteers with mechanical LBP (38 men, age = 41.3 ± 9.2 years) completed the study. Ultrasound measurements and pain algometry of the LM were taken at baseline and repeated immediately following dry needling treatment to the LM muscles and after one week. The percent change in muscle thickness from rest to contraction was calculated for each time point to represent muscle function. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was used to measure nociceptive sensitivity. Participants were dichotomized as responders and non-responders based on whether or not they experienced clinical improvement using the modified Oswestry Disability Index after one week. 2 × 3 mixed-model ANOVA were conducted for group (responders vs. non-responders) by time. Results Patient responders exhibited larger improvements in LM muscle contraction and nociceptive sensitivity 1 week, but not immediately, after dry needling than non-responders. Conclusions Our results suggest that there may be lasting and clinically relevant sensorimotor changes that occur in LBP patients that improve with dry needling treatment that partially explain the physiologic mechanism of action.

The elimination of gubernatorial elections in Russia in late 2004 provides a unique opportunity to study public reaction to policies that replaced democratically elected regional leaders with Kremlin appointees, thereby further concentrating power in the hands of the central state while simultaneously reducing the level of democratic accountability in Russian politics. Using a 2007 survey of 1500 Russians, it is possible to observe how key measures of public opinion and regime support were influenced by the elimination of gubernatorial elections. Because the timeline of gubernatorial appointments was determined exogenously based on the expiration of elected incumbent governors' terms, by 2007 some regions had governors who still held electoral mandates, while others had Kremlin appointees with no electoral mandate. This quasi experiment allows us to draw surprising conclusions about whom Russians blame - and do not blame - when power becomes increasingly centralized in the hands of the president.

For example, locating an item or a person of interest requires visual search, and firing the weapon (or withholding a trigger squeeze) involves response execution (or inhibition). The present study used a simulated shooting environment to establish a relationship between a particular cognitive ability and a critical shooting error—response inhibition and firing on civilians, respectively. Individual-difference measures demonstrated, perhaps counterintuitively, that simulated civilian casualties were not related to motor impulsivity (i.e., an itchy trigger finger) but rather to an individual’s cognitive ability to withhold an already initiated response (i.e., an itchy brain). Furthermore, active-response-inhibition training reduced simulated civilian casualties, which revealed a causal relationship. This study therefore illustrates the potential of using cognitive training to possibly improve shooting performance, which might ultimately provide insight for military and law-enforcement personnel.

Rotation speeds of a motor 3 mm in diameter have been characterized up to 2000 r/min as a function of voltage, phase, and frequency, with power consumption less than 4 mW. Frequency characterization shows no nonlinear behavior, while phase characterization shows that motion can be generated with a single source drive. Furthermore, imprint in the piezoelectric response was exploited to achieve higher speeds, starting voltages lower than 4 V, and demonstration of a 2-mm diameter motor up to 1730 r/min. Design and fabrication of the motors are also presented.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing J1 - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing PY - 2015/01// Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 405 EP - 415 SN - 01962892 AB - Hyperspectral remote sensing often captures imagery where the spectral profiles of the spatial pixels are the result of the reflectance contribution of numerous materials. Spectral unmixing is then used to extract the collection of materials, or endmembers, contained in the measured spectra and a set of corresponding fractions that indicate the abundance of each material present at each pixel. This paper aims at developing a spectral unmixing algorithm directly from compressive measurements acquired using the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system. The proposed method first uses the compressive measurements to find a sparse vector representation of each pixel in a 3-D dictionary formed by a 2-D wavelet basis and a known spectral library of endmembers. The sparse vector representation is estimated by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem using an algorithm based on the variable splitting augmented Lagrangian multipliers method. The performance of the proposed spectral unmixing method is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The optimal coded apertures are designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Simulations with synthetic and real hyperspectral cubes illustrate the accuracy of the proposed unmixing method.

The rating system is designed to encourage agencies to select retrofits that will better upgrade existing conditions to meet current design standards for hydraulic steel structures and achieve a long design life. An overview of past Tainter gate failures, governing strut-arm load cases, past strut-arm retrofit strategies, current design standards for hydraulic steel structures, and the consequences of welding or bolting to existing structures has been considered in this study as evidence to support the proposed Tainter gate retrofit comparison methodology. An example problem illustrates how to determine the LCM factor and assign a LCM grade for three retrofit scenarios.

This paper investigates the signatures of indoor clutter using radar cross section (RCS) and linear depolarization ratios to implement clutter suppression algorithms. The paper focuses on the analysis of common individual and composite pieces of indoor clutter for TTWR. The characterization of the wideband spectral properties of indoor clutter elements is accomplished using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) techniques. Using FDTD, the spectral characteristics of clutter elements are obtained over a wide range of frequencies, different polarizations, and aspect angles.We compare and contrast the RCS responses between the different objects for analysis and use in TTWR. RCS results obtained from the simulations are compared to experimental data using a network analyzer and reasonable agreement is obtained. Clutter signatures are also compared to those of humans in order to design appropriate waveforms for maximizing the signal-to-clutter ratio in TTWR systems.

AB - Loneliness has been shown to predict mental health problems and suicide in active duty soldiers. In the present study, we examined distal (e.g., demographic & socioeconomic characteristics) to proximal factors (e.g., platoon relations, relationship quality) that were associated with loneliness in active duty soldiers in the U.S. Army. Results revealed a set of factors that were associated with loneliness in active duty soldiers, including age, frequency of contact with friends and family by phone, childhood trauma, self-reported overall emotional health, intra-platoon harassment, perceived stress, perceived platoon cohesion and support, organizational citizenship behavior, relationship satisfaction with friends, and relationship satisfaction with platoon members. The association between loneliness and both perceived stress and relationship satisfaction with platoon members reached a moderate effect size in the multivariate models. Although some of predictors overlap with those identified in studies of civilians, most were unique to soldiers. Implications are discussed for understanding loneliness in an organization like the military and for the early identification of and intervention with active duty soldiers who may be at risk for mental and behavioral problems.

AB - The fragile health of patients who are admitted to a burn intensive care unit (ICU) requires clinicians and clinical teams to perform complex cognitive work that includes time-pressured diagnostic and therapeutic decisions that are based on emergent and interrelated patient information. Barriers to clinician efforts delay patient care and increase care cost, length of stay, and the potential for misadventures. The Cooperative Communication System is a real-time information technology system in its final year of development that is designed to support individual and team cognitive work and communication in the burn ICU. The project has used cognitive systems engineering methods to reveal genotypes: the traits that mold this naturalistic decision-making work setting. Requirements derived from findings guided development of seven core features, configurable displays, and machine learning features that enable clinicians to obtain and use the most important information on individual patients and among and across patients. Recent evaluation data demonstrate the system’s usability and value to the clinical staff. More efficient, reliable collaboration among members of the ICU staff who use the Cooperative Communication System is expected to improve patient safety and improve patient outcomes.

AB - Post‐task resting state dynamics can be viewed as a task‐driven state where behavioral performance is improved through endogenous, non‐explicit learning. Tasks that have intrinsic value for individuals are hypothesized to produce post‐task resting state dynamics that promote learning. We measured simultaneous fMRI/EEG and DTI in Division‐1 collegiate baseball players and compared to a group of controls, examining differences in both functional and structural connectivity. Participants performed a surrogate baseball pitch Go/No‐Go task before a resting state scan, and we compared post‐task resting state connectivity using a seed‐based analysis from the supplementary motor area (SMA), an area whose activity discriminated players and controls in our previous results using this task. Although both groups were equally trained on the task, the experts showed differential activity in their post‐task resting state consistent with motor learning. Specifically, we found (1) differences in bilateral SMA–L Insula functional connectivity between experts and controls that may reflect group differences in motor learning, (2) differences in BOLD‐alpha oscillation correlations between groups suggests variability in modulatory attention in the post‐task state, and (3) group differences between BOLD‐beta oscillations that may indicate cognitive processing of motor inhibition. Structural connectivity analysis identified group differences in portions of the functionally derived network, suggesting that functional differences may also partially arise from variability in the underlying white matter pathways. Generally, we find that brain dynamics in the post‐task resting state differ as a function of subject expertise and potentially result from differences in both functional and structural connectivity.

AB - Media use has been on the rise in adolescents overall, and in particular, the amount of media multitasking—multiple media consumed simultaneously, such as having a text message conversation while watching TV—has been increasing. In adults, heavy media multitasking has been linked with poorer performance on a number of laboratory measures of cognition, but no relationship has yet been established between media-multitasking behavior and real-world outcomes. Examining individual differences across a group of adolescents, we found that more frequent media multitasking in daily life was associated with poorer performance on statewide standardized achievement tests of math and English in the classroom, poorer performance on behavioral measures of executive function (working memory capacity) in the laboratory, and traits of greater impulsivity and lesser growth mindset. Greater media multitasking had a relatively circumscribed set of associations, and was not related to behavioral measures of cognitive processing speed, implicit learning, or manual dexterity, or to traits of grit and conscientiousness. Thus, individual differences in adolescent media multitasking were related to specific differences in executive function and in performance on real-world academic achievement measures: More media multitasking was associated with poorer executive function ability, worse academic achievement, and a reduced growth mindset.

AB - We used administrative data to examine predictors of medically documented suicide ideation (SI) among Regular Army soldiers from 2006 through 2009 (N = 10,466 ideators, 124,959 control person‐months). Enlisted ideators (97.8% of all cases) were more likely than controls to be female, younger, older when entering service, less educated, never or previously deployed, and have a recent mental health diagnosis. Officer ideators were more likely than controls to be female, younger, younger when entering service, never married, and have a recent mental health diagnosis. Risk among enlisted soldiers peaked in the second month of service and declined steadily, whereas risk among officers remained relatively stable over time. Risk of SI is highest among enlisted soldiers early in Army service, females, and those with a recent mental health diagnosis.

AB - Astronauts and vestibular patients face analogous challenges to orientation function due to adaptive exogenous (weightlessness-induced) or endogenous (pathology-induced) alterations in the processing of acceleration stimuli. Given some neurovestibular similarities between these challenges, both affected groups may benefit from shared research approaches and adaptation measurement/improvement strategies. This article reviews various past strategies and introduces two plausible ground-based approaches, the first of which is a method for eliciting and assessing vestibular adaptation-induced imbalance. Second, we review a strategy for mitigating imbalance associated with vestibular pathology and fostering readaptation. In discussing the first strategy (for imbalance assessment), we review a pilot study wherein imbalance was elicited (among healthy subjects) via an adaptive challenge that caused a temporary/reversible disruption. The surrogate vestibular deficit was caused by a brief period of movement-induced adaptation to an altered (rotating) gravitoinertial frame of reference. This elicited adaptation and caused imbalance when head movements were made after reentry into the normal (non-rotating) frame of reference. We also review a strategy for fall mitigation, viz., a prototype tactile sway feedback device for aiding balance/recovery after disruptions caused by vestibular pathology. We introduce the device and review a preliminary exploration of its effectiveness in aiding clinical balance rehabilitation (discussing the implications for healthy astronauts). Both strategies reviewed in this article represent cross-disciplinary research spin-offs: the ground-based vestibular challenge and tactile cueing display were derived from aeromedical research to benefit military aviators suffering from flight simulator-relevant aftereffects or inflight spatial disorientation, respectively. These strategies merit further evaluation using clinical and astronaut populations.

AB - Objectives: The Department of Defense reported that 344,030 cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) were clinically confirmed from 2000 to 2015, with mild TBI (mTBI) accounting for 82.3% of all cases. Unfortunately, warfighters with TBI are often identified only when moderate or severe head injuries have occurred, leaving more subtle mTBI cases undiagnosed. This study aims to identify and validate an eye-movement visual test for screening acute mTBI. Methods: Two-hundred active duty military personnel were recruited to perform the King-Devick® (KD) test. Subjects were equally divided into two groups: those with diagnosed acute mTBI (≤ 72h) and age-matched controls. The KD test was administered twice for test-retest reliability, and the outcome measure was total cumulative time to complete each test. Results: The mTBI group had approximately 36% mean slower performance time with significant differences between the groups (p < 0.001) in both tests. There were significant differences between the two KD test administrations in each group, however, a strong correlation was observed between each test administration. Conclusions: Significant differences in KD test performance were seen between the acute mTBI and control groups. The results suggest the KD test can be utilized for screening acute mTBI. A validated and rapidly administered mTBI screening test with results that are easily interpreted by providers is essential in making return-to-duty decisions in the injured warfighter.

AB - Spearman's Law of Diminishing Returns (SLODR) refers to the finding that cognitive ability tests tend to be less correlated and less g loaded for higher ability samples than for lower ability samples. However, it has been unknown whether SLODR applies to the domain of emotional intelligence. Analyses document SLODR effects for the Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). These results suggest that reports of minimal g loadings for emotional intelligence batteries may have reflected the use of high ability samples. Broader conclusions suggest that g loadings for emerging ability domains should be based on data collected from broad cognitive ability samples because the use of higher ability samples will systematically underestimate g loadings and cannot be accurately corrected for direct range restriction.

AB - The ability to efficiently process presuppositions, which contain information that the speaker believes to be in the background to the conversation, is essential for effective communication. To get a deeper understanding of the nature and the time-course of temporal presupposition processing, we examined event-related potential evoked by the word again in two types of sentence contexts. The word again was presented in contexts that supported a presupposition (e.g. Jake had tipped a maid at the hotel once before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ) or violated it (e.g. Jake had never tipped a maid at the hotel before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ). The presupposition violation was associated with increased amplitudes of the P3b/P600 but not the N400 component. We argue for the centrality of the P3b/P600 component for presupposition processing. These findings demonstrate rapid integration of lexical presuppositions with contextual knowledge.

AB - The repeal of combat restrictions by gender raises the importance of understanding factors related to the acceptance of women serving in the full range of military jobs. Previous research shows military affiliated cadets, especially males, are substantially less approving of women serving in military jobs, especially those involving exposure to direct combat or command positions, than are other college students. The current study extends these findings by considering political ideology in addition to gender and military affiliation, as related to attitudes toward women’s roles in the military overall and in combat roles in particular. Survey data from Service Academy cadets (n = 3,116), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets (n = 1,367), and nonmilitary affiliated college students (n = 2,648), provided measures of whether a woman should or should not be allowed to serve in 9 different military job areas. In addition to overall approval, a scale for combat jobs was created from a subset of 4 of the jobs. Regression analysis indicated that once gender, political party, political position (left/right), and attitudes toward mothers in the workforce overall were controlled, type of college did not add to the prediction of acceptance of women in various military roles. In general, nonmilitary affiliated respondents, women, and those identifying as Democrat offered higher approval scores. Our findings suggest more aggressive programs, designed to educate and socialize these future leaders about women’s roles in the military, may require development.

AB - Neurocognitive assessment tools (NCAT) are commonly used to screen for changes in cognitive functioning following a mild traumatic brain injury and to assist with a return to duty decision. As such, it is critical to determine if performance on the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is adversely affected by operationally-relevant field environments. Differences in DANA performance between a thermoneutral environment and three simulated operationally-relevant field environments across the thermal stress continuum were calculated for 16 healthy U.S. Navy service members. Practice effects associated with brief test-retest intervals were calculated within each environmental condition. There were no significant differences between the simulated environmental conditions suggesting that performance on the DANA Brief is not impacted by thermal stress. Additionally, there were no significant differences in performance within each simulated environmental condition associated with repeated administrations.

AB - Stress influences numerous psychological and physiological processes, and its effects have practical implications in a variety of professions and real-world activities. However, few studies have concurrently assessed multiple behavioral, hormonal, nutritional and heart-rate responses of humans to acute, severe stress. This investigation simultaneously assessed cognitive, affective, hormonal, and heart-rate responses induced by an intensely stressful real-world environment designed to simulate wartime captivity. Sixty males were evaluated during and immediately following participation in U.S. Army Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) school, three weeks of intense but standardized training for Soldiers at risk of capture. Simulated captivity and intense mock interrogations degraded grammatical reasoning (p < 0.005), sustained-attention (p < 0.001), working memory (p < 0.05) and all aspects of mood assessed by the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire: Tension/Anxiety, Depression/Dejection, Anger/Hostility, Vigor/Activity, Fatigue/Inertia; Confusion/Bewilderment, and Total Mood Disturbance (p < 0.001) It also elevated heart rate (p < 0.001); increased serum and salivary cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-s) (p < 0.01); elevated serum epinephrine, norepinephrine, and soluble transferrin receptors (sTfR) (p < 0.01); increased salivary neuropeptide-Y (NPY) (p < 0.001); and decreased serum prolactin and serum and salivary testosterone (p < 0.001). Partial recovery was observed immediately after training, but stress-induced changes, particularly in body weight and several of the biomarkers, persisted. This study demonstrates that when individuals were exposed to realistic and controlled simulated captivity, cognition, mood, stress hormones, nutritional status and heart rate are simultaneously altered, and each of these subsequently recovers at different rates.

AB - Objectives: Measurement of stress exposure is central to understanding military mental health outcomes. Although temporal stability of combat event reporting has been examined, less is known about the stability of reporting for noncombat events in military samples. Objectives are to examine consistency in reporting stressful life events in nondeployed U.S. Army soldiers and its association with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology. Method: Examined reporting consistency over approximately 8 months among 466 soldiers. Regression models examined factors associated with decreased, increased, and stable reporting. Results: Stability of the number of events endorsed over time was high. However, item‐level agreement was slight to moderate (kappas: .13–.54), with inconsistencies due primarily to decreased reporting. After adjusting for covariates and initial PTSD, second assessment PTSD was associated with increased and stable reporting. Conclusions: Inconsistent reporting extends beyond combat events to other stressful life events in military personnel and is associated with PTSD.

AB - We challenge the intuitive belief that greater leader sensitivity is always associated with desirable outcomes for employees and organizations. Specifically, we argue that followers’ idiosyncratic desires for, and perceptions of, leader sensitivity behaviors play a key role in how followers react to their leader’s sensitivity. Moreover, these resulting affective experiences are likely to have important consequences for organizations, specifically as they relate to employee counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Drawing from supplies-values (S-V) fit theory and the stressor-emotion model of CWB, the current study focuses on the affective and behavioral consequences of fit between subordinates’ ideal leader sensitivity behavior preferences and subordinates’ perceptions of their actual leader’s sensitivity behaviors. Polynomial regression analyses reveal that congruence between ideal and actual leader sensitivity influences employee negative affect and, consequently, engagement in counterproductive work behavior.

AB - Comments on an article by Thomas W. Britt et al. (see record [rid]2016-33183-027[/rid]). The term resilience has grown in popularity among the general public and within the scientific community. Unfortunately, the rise in popularity has advanced neither our theoretical understanding of this construct nor the methodological approaches to study this topic. Britt et al. highlighted important conceptual, methodological, and practical advances and shortcomings within the literature on employee resilience. However, critical conceptual issues remain unaddressed within the focal article. Specifically, in our commentary, we differentiate between resiliency and resilience, identify key dimensions of each construct, and explicate the role of adversity and context to further advance our theoretical understanding of this construct.We conclude by discussing the implications of our proposed conceptualization and refinement of resilience for theory, research, and practice.

However, global field power is biased by the noise typical of electroencephalography experiments, so comparisons of global field power on data with unequal noise are invalid. Here, we demonstrate the relationship between the number of trials that contribute to a global field power measure and the expected value of that global field power measure. We also introduce a statistical testing procedure that can be used for multi-subject, repeated-measures (also called within-subjects) comparisons of global field power when the number of trials per condition is unequal across conditions. Simulations demonstrate the effect of unequal trial numbers on global field power comparisons and show the validity of the proposed test in contrast to conventional approaches. Finally, the proposed test and two alternative tests are applied to data collected in a rapid serial visual presentation target detection experiment. The results show that the proposed test finds global field power differences in the classical P3 range; the other tests find differences in that range but also at other times including at times before stimulus onset. These results are interpreted as showing that the proposed test is valid and sensitive to real within-subject differences in global field power in multi-subject unbalanced data.

AB - Objective: We investigated the effects of level of agent transparency on operator performance, trust, and workload in a context of human–agent teaming for multirobot management. Background: Participants played the role of a heterogeneous unmanned vehicle (UxV) operator and were instructed to complete various missions by giving orders to UxVs through a computer interface. An intelligent agent (IA) assisted the participant by recommending two plans—a top recommendation and a secondary recommendation—for every mission. Method: A within-subjects design with three levels of agent transparency was employed in the present experiment. There were eight missions in each of three experimental blocks, grouped by level of transparency. During each experimental block, the IA was incorrect three out of eight times due to external information (e.g., commander’s intent and intelligence). Operator performance, trust, workload, and usability data were collected. Results: Results indicate that operator performance, trust, and perceived usability increased as a function of transparency level. Subjective and objective workload data indicate that participants’ workload did not increase as a function of transparency. Furthermore, response time did not increase as a function of transparency. Conclusion: Unlike previous research, which showed that increased transparency resulted in increased performance and trust calibration at the cost of greater workload and longer response time, our results support the benefits of transparency for performance effectiveness without additional costs. Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of IAs in military settings and will provide useful data to the design of heterogeneous UxV teams.

AB - Objective: We used meta-analysis to assess research concerning human trust in automation to understand the foundation upon which future autonomous systems can be built. Background: Trust is increasingly important in the growing need for synergistic human–machine teaming. Thus, we expand on our previous meta-analytic foundation in the field of human–robot interaction to include all of automation interaction. Method: We used meta-analysis to assess trust in automation. Thirty studies provided 164 pairwise effect sizes, and 16 studies provided 63 correlational effect sizes. Results: The overall effect size of all factors on trust development was ḡ = + 0.48, and the correlational effect was r = + 0.34, each of which represented medium effects. Moderator effects were observed for the human-related (ḡ = +0.49; r = + 0.16) and automation-related (ḡ = + 0.53; r = + 0.41) factors. Moderator effects specific to environmental factors proved insufficient in number to calculate at this time. Conclusion: Findings provide a quantitative representation of factors influencing the development of trust in automation as well as identify additional areas of needed empirical research. Application: This work has important implications to the enhancement of current and future human–automation interaction, especially in high-risk or extreme performance environments.

AB - In the United States, college students must complete the Free Application for Student Federal Aid (FAFSA) to access federal aid. However, many eligible students do not apply and consequently forgo significant amounts of financial aid. If students have perfect information about aid eligibility, we would expect that all eligible students complete FAFSA and no aid would go unclaimed. Using data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey, I estimate a multinomial logit model which controls for all variables that contribute to aid eligibility and other student characteristics that may deter FAFSA completion. I find that students who are lower middle income, white, male and independent from parents are less likely to complete FAFSA even when they are eligible for aid. Using propensity score matching, I find that each year applicants forgo $9,741.05 in total aid (including grant and loan aid) which includes $1,281.00 of Pell Grants, $2,439.50 of the balance subsidized student loans, $1,986.65 of the balance of unsubsidized student loans, and $1,016.04 of institutional grants. These aid totals aggregate to $24 billion annually.

We expand this line of inquiry by examining the effect of symbolic representation on the clients’ perceptions of the vocational rehabilitation program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. We test the link between passive representation and symbolic representation for Veteran identity. This is one of the first studies to investigate an identity not associated with immutable characteristics. We question how an identity related to a profession that an individual selects into, like Veteran status, can influence a client’s relationship with a government program. We find that Veteran clients of the vocational rehabilitation system perceive substantial differences in the behaviors of their counselor and report significantly higher levels of overall satisfaction with the program when they know or believe their counselor is also a Veteran.

T1 - Efficacy studies of Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion, M291 Skin Decontamination Kit, 0.5% bleach, 1% soapy water, and Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents, Part 1: Guinea pigs challenged with VX. JO - Cutaneous & Ocular Toxicology JF - Cutaneous & Ocular Toxicology Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 30 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 28 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15569527 AB - Objective: This report, first in a series of five, directly compares the efficacy of 4 decontamination products and Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents (SERPACWA) in the haired guinea pig model following exposure to VX. Methods: In all experiments, guinea pigs were close-clipped and given anesthesia. In the decontamination experiments, the animals were challenged with VX and decontaminated after a 2-minute delay for the standard procedure or at longer times for the delayed-decontamination experiments. Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents was applied as a thin coating (0.1 mm thick), allowed to dry for 15 minutes, and challenged with VX. After a 2-hour challenge, any remaining VX was blotted off the animal, but no additional decontamination was done. Positive control animals were challenged with VX in the same manner as the treated animals, except that they received no treatment. In addition, the positive control animals were always challenged with 5% VX in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution, whereas the treatment animals received either neat (undiluted) VX or 5% VX in IPA solution. All animals were observed during the first 4 hours and again at 24 hours after exposure for signs of toxicity and death. The protective ratio (PR, defined as the median lethal dose [LD50] of the treatment group divided by the LD50 of the untreated positive control animals) was calculated from the probit dose--response curves established for each treatment group and nontreated control animals. Significance in this report was defined as p < .05. Results: In the standard 2-minute neat VX decontamination experiments, the calculated PRs for Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL), 0.5% bleach, 1% soapy water, and the M291 Skin Decontamination Kit (SDK) were 66, 17, 16, and 1.1, respectively. Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion was by far the most effective decontamination product tested and was significantly better than any of the other products. Bleach and soapy water provided equivalent and good (PR > 5) protection. They were both significantly better than the M291 SDK. The M291 SDK did not provide significant protection compared with positive controls. In the neat VX delayed-decontamination experiments, the calculated LT50 (the delayed-decontamination time at which 50% of the animals died in the test population following a 5-LD50 challenge) values for RSDL, 0.5% bleach, and 1% soapy water were 31, 48, and 26 minutes, respectively. The results showed that SERPACWA provided significant, but modest (PR < 5), protection against neat VX, with a PR of 2.1. Conclusions: Several conclusions can be drawn from this study: 1) RSDL provided superior protection against VX compared with the other products tested; 2) 0.5% bleach and 1% soapy water were less effective than RSDL, but still provided good protection against VX; 3) the M291 SDK was the least effective decontamination product and did not provide significant protection against VX; 4) the agent was observed to streak when using the M291 SDK, and efficacy may improve if the agent is first blotted, followed by wiping with a new or clean part of the M291 SDK pad; 5) RSDL, 0.5% bleach, and 1% soapy water provided significant protection against a 5-LD50 challenge of VX, even when decontamination was delayed for up to about 30 minutes; and 6) SERPACWA provided significant, but modest, protection against VX.

Methods: In all experiments, guinea pigs were close-clipped and given anesthesia. In the decontamination experiments, the animals were challenged with GD and decontaminated after a 2-minute delay for the standard procedure or at longer times for the delayed-decontamination experiments. Positive control animals were challenged with GD in the same manner as the treated animals, except that they received no treatment. All animals were observed during the first 4 hours and again at 24 hours after exposure for signs of toxicity and death. The protective ratio (PR, defined as the median lethal dose [LD50] of the treatment group divided by the LD50 of the untreated positive control animals) was calculated from the derived probit dose--response curves established for each treatment group and nontreated control animals. SERPACWA was applied as a thin coating (0.1 mm thick), allowed to dry for 15 minutes, and challenged with GD. After a 2-hour challenge, any remaining GD was blotted off the animal, but no additional decontamination was done. Significance in this report is defined as p <.05. Neat (undiluted) GD was used to challenge all animals in these studies. Results: In the standard 2-minute GD decontamination experiments, the calculated PRs for RSDL, 0.5% bleach, 1% soapy water, and M291 SDK were 14, 2.7, 2.2, and 2.6, respectively. RSDL was by far the most effective decontamination product tested and significantly better than any of the other products. Bleach, soapy water, and the M291 SDK provided equivalent and modest protection. Since only RSDL provided at least good protection (PR > 5), it was the only decontamination product evaluated for delayed decontamination. In the GD delayed-decontamination experiments, the calculated LT50 (the delayed-decontamination time at which 50% of the animals die in the test population following a 5-LD50 challenge) value for RSDL was only 4.0 minutes. Conclusions: Several conclusions can be drawn from this study: 1) Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion provided superior protection against GD compared with the other products tested; 2) The 0.5% bleach solution, the 1% soapy water solution, and the M291 SDK were less effective than RSDL, but still provided modest (2 < PR < 5) protection against GD; 3) Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion, the best product tested, did not provide significant protection against GD when decontamination was delayed for more than 3 minutes; 4) Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents provided significant, but modest, protection against GD; 5) There was good correlation between using the rabbit model and the guinea pig model for decontamination efficacy evaluations; and 6) Soman (GD) is an agent of real concern because it is very difficult to decontaminate and the effects ofexposure are difficult to treat.

Deployed military personnel frequently exposed to trauma are well-known to be at high risk for developing behavioral health disorders, including combat stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder. In the U.S. Army, members of combat operational stress control (COSC) units have unique skills to assist soldiers and their families not only throughout all phases of a deployment, but also throughout a soldier's entire career. The purposes of this article are twofold, first to describe the role of COSC operations with an emphasis on interventions in a deployed environment. The second purpose is to present a case study from Operation Iraqi Freedom highlighting the efficacy of the COSC approach to meet a Soldier's behavioral health needs in a deployed environment.

The data deluge has begun with genomes of over 65 different aquatic species that are currently being sequenced, and many times that number with at least some level of transcriptome sequencing. Integrating these top-down methodologies is an essential task in the field of systems biology. Systems biology is a biology-based interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions in biological systems, with the intent to model and discover emergent properties of the system. Recent studies demonstrate that Omics technologies provide valuable insight into ecotoxicity, both in laboratory exposures with model organisms and with animals exposed in the field. However, these approaches require a context of the whole animal and population to be relevant. Powerful approaches using reverse engineering to determine interacting networks of genes, proteins, or biochemical reactions are uncovering unique responses to toxicants. Modeling efforts in aquatic animals are evolving to interrelate the interacting networks of a system and the flow of information linking these elements. Just as is happening in medicine, systems biology approaches that allow the integration of many different scales of interaction and information are already driving a revolution in understanding the impacts of pollutants on aquatic systems.

T1 - Desorption of nitramine and nitroaromatic explosive residues from soils detonated under controlled conditions. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/02// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 353 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Potentially toxic nitroaromatic and nitramine compounds are introduced onto soils during detonation of explosives. The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces. Environ. Toxicol.

A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, Fluent, was used to solve the time-dependent Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, a standard turbulence k-[variant_greek_epsilon] model with wall functions, and a water volume of fluid fraction equation. A two-dimensional approach velocity profile was used at the upstream inlet cross section. Water levels, flow splits between the existing and auxiliary spillways, and flow patterns were predicted and compared. A tentative design was chosen, constructed, and tested in a 1:54 scale physical model. Testing results were used to validate the CFD model. Results demonstrate that the CFD model is validated as accurate in the prediction of water levels in the reservoir, the integrated approach used is cost-effective and efficient in optimizing the designs of the auxiliary spillway, the tentative design cannot pass the PMF at the maximum pool level which suggests further modifications being necessary in the physical model.

JO - Environmental Health Perspectives JF - Environmental Health Perspectives Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 119 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 6 EP - 10 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00916765 AB - Background: This commentary evolved from a workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences titled "Superfund Contaminants: The Next Generation" held in Tucson, Arizona, in August 2009. All the authors were workshop participants. Objectives: Our aim was to initiate a dynamic, adaptable process for identifying contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) that are likely to be found in future hazardous waste sites, and to identify the gaps in primary research that cause uncertainty in determining future hazardous waste site contaminants. Discussion: Superfund-relevant CECs can be characterized by specific attributes: They are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, occur in large quantities, and have localized accumulation with a likelihood of exposure. Although still under development and incompletely applied, methods to quantify these attributes can assist in winnowing down the list of candidates from the universe of potential CECs. Unfortunately, significant research gaps exist in detection and quantification, environmental fate and transport, health and risk assessment, and site exploration and remediation for CECs. Addressing these gaps is prerequisite to a preventive approach to generating and managing hazardous waste sites. Conclusions: A need exists for a carefully considered and orchestrated expansion of programmatic and research efforts to identify, evaluate, and manage CECs of hazardous waste site relevance, including developing an evolving list of priority CECs, intensifying the identification and monitoring of likely sites of present or future accumulation of CECs, and implementing efforts that focus on a holistic approach to prevention.

SN - 01682563 AB - Increases in soil freezing associated with decreases in snow cover have been identified as a significant disturbance to nitrogen (N) cycling in northern hardwood forests. We created a range of soil freezing intensity through snow manipulation experiments along an elevation gradient at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in the White Mountains, NH USA in order to improve understanding of the factors regulating freeze effects on nitrate (NO) leaching, nitrous oxide (NO) flux, potential and in situ net N mineralization and nitrification, microbial biomass carbon (C) and N content and respiration, and denitrification. While the snow manipulation treatment produced deep and persistent soil freezing at all sites, effects on hydrologic and gaseous losses of N were less than expected and less than values observed in previous studies at the HBEF. There was no relationship between frost depth, frost heaving and NO leaching, and a weak relationship between frost depth and winter NO flux. There was a significant positive relationship between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and NO concentrations in treatment plots but not in reference plots, suggesting that the snow manipulation treatment mobilized available C, which may have stimulated retention of N and prevented treatment effects on N losses. While the results support the hypothesis that climate change resulting in less snow and more soil freezing will increase N losses from northern hardwood forests, they also suggest that ecosystem response to soil freezing disturbance is affected by multiple factors that must be reconciled in future research.

Specific emphasis was placed on evaluating key factors that influence interpretation of critical body residue (CBR) toxicity metrics including data quality issues, lipid dynamics, choice of endpoints, processes that alter toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, phototoxicity, species- and life stage-specific sensitivities, and biotransformation. The vast majority of data available on TRA is derived from laboratory studies of acute lethal responses to organic toxicants exhibiting baseline toxicity. Application of the TRA to various baseline toxicants as well as substances with specific modes of action via receptor-mediated processes, such as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and organometallics is discussed, as is application of TRA concepts in field assessments of tissue residues. In contrast to media-based toxicity relationships, CBR values tend to be less variable and less influenced by factors that control bioavailability and bioaccumulation, and TRA can be used to infer mechanisms of toxic action, evaluate the toxicity of mixtures, and interpret field data on bioaccumulated toxicants. If residue-effects data are not available, body residues can be estimated, as has been done using the target lipid model for baseline toxicants, to derive critical values for risk assessment. One of the primary unresolved issues complicating TRA for organic chemicals is biotransformation. Further work on the influence of biotransformation, a better understanding of contaminant lipid interactions, and an explicit understanding of the time dependency of CBRs and receptor-mediated toxicity are all required to advance this field. Additional residue-effects data on sublethal endpoints, early life stages, and a wider range of legacy and emergent contaminants will be needed to improve the ability to use TRA for organic and organometallic compounds.

T1 - Application of the tissue residue approach in ecological risk assessment. JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 116 EP - 140 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 15513777 AB - The objective of this work is to present a critical review of the application of the tissue residue approach (TRA) in ecological risk and/or impact assessment (ERA) of chemical stressors and environmental criteria development. A secondary goal is to develop a framework for integrating the TRA into ecological assessments along with traditional, exposure concentration-based assessment approaches. Although widely recognized for its toxicological appeal, the utility of the TRA in specific applications will depend on numerous factors, such as chemical properties, exposure characteristics, assessment type, availability of tissue residue-response data, and ability to quantify chemical exposure. Therefore, the decision to use the TRA should include an evaluation of the relative strengths, limitations, and uncertainties among exposure and residue-based methods for characterizing toxicological effects. Furthermore, rather than supplanting exposure concentration-based toxicity assessments, the TRA can be highly effective for evaluating and reducing uncertainty when used in a complementary manner (e.g., when evaluating multiple lines of evidence in field studies). To address limitations with the available tissue residue-response data, approaches for extrapolating residue-based toxicity data across species, tissues, and exposure durations are discussed. Some of these approaches rely on predicted residue-response relationships or toxicological models that have an implicit residue-response basis (e.g., biotic ligand model). Because risk to an organism is a function of both its exposure potential and inherent sensitivity (i.e., on a residue basis), bioaccumulation models will be required not only for translating tissue residue criteria into corresponding water and sediment criteria, but also for defining the most vulnerable species in an assemblage (i.e., highly exposed and highly sensitive species). Application of the TRA in ecological assessments and criteria development are summarized for bioaccumulative organic chemicals, TBT, and in situ bioassays using bivalve molluscs.

The application of reverse engineering complex interaction networks from high dimensional omics data (gene, protein, metabolic, signaling) can be used to overcome these limitations. This approach was used to characterize adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for chemicals that disrupt the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in fathead minnows (FHM, Pimephales promelas). Gene expression changes in FHM ovaries in response to seven different chemicals, over different times, doses, and in vivo versus in vitro conditions, were captured in a large data set of 868 arrays. Potential AOPs of the antiandrogen flutamide were examined using two mutual information-based methods to infer gene regulatory networks and potential AOPs. Representative networks from these studies were used to predict network paths from stressor to adverse outcome as candidate AOPs. The relationship of individual chemicals to an adverse outcome can be determined by following perturbations through the network in response to chemical treatment, thus leading to the nodes associated with the adverse outcome. Identification of candidate pathways allows for formation of testable hypotheses about key biological processes, biomarkers, or alternative endpoints that can be used to monitor an AOP. Finally, the unique challenges facing the application of this approach in ecotoxicology were identified and a road map for the utilization of these tools presented. Environ. Toxicol.

Local value models use the full value space defined by the alternatives to distinguish between the alternatives. Global value models may identify new objectives and may help us develop better alternatives, but the alternatives do not usually span the full global value space. We present a mathematical transformation of a global value model's single-dimensional value functions and swing weights to a decision-focused value model using the global value, alternative scores, and transformation equations. When the transformation is appropriate, the decision-focused value model can provide useful distinctions to better communicate the trade-offs between alternatives. We prove that the transformation preserves the rank ordering of the alternatives, and we discuss the appropriate conditions for use.

Measuring SWE takes ∼∼20 times as long as measuring depth, which in part is why depth measurements outnumber SWE measurements worldwide. Here a method of estimating snow bulk density is presented and then used to convert snow depth to SWE. The method is grounded in the fact that depth varies over a range that is many times greater than that of bulk density. Consequently, estimates derived from measured depths and modeled densities generally fall close to measured values of SWE. Knowledge of snow climate classes is used to improve the accuracy of the estimation procedure. A statistical model based on a Bayesian analysis of a set of 25 688 depth--density--SWE data collected in the United States, Canada, and Switzerland takes snow depth, day of the year, and the climate class of snow at a selected location from which it produces a local bulk density estimate. When converted to SWE and tested against two continental-scale datasets, 90%% of the computed SWE values fell within ±±8 cm of the measured values, with most estimates falling much closer.

SN - 15662543 AB - The degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB- co-4HB)) coated brown Kraft paper and its components in a constructed soil environment was investigated. Soil burial tests were carried out over 8 weeks. Weight loss measurements, photographic analysis, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were conducted to assess the physical, structural, mechanical and thermal behavior before and after the soil burial test. Paper showed the highest physical degradation and weight loss. With respect to the control samples, the stiffness of the partially degraded samples decreased. The overall crystallinity of the biopolymer and the coated paper was affected significantly by burial. The pure biopolymer's weight loss was substantially enhanced when coated on paper. This result reveals a possible increased microbial population in the coated paper relative to the pure biopolymer.

Sediment volume affects bioassay cost because of sediment collection, transportation, storage, and disposal costs as well as labor costs associated with organism recovery at the conclusion of the exposure. The objective of the current study was to evaluate reduced sediment volume versions of the standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 10-d acute Leptocheirus plumulosus method that uses a beaker size of 1,000 ml and 20 organisms. The test design used evaluated the effects of beaker size (250 and 100 ml) and associated sediment volume (75 and 30 ml, respectively) as well as organism loading density (10 and 20 organisms) on test endpoint responsiveness relative to the standard 10-d test method. These comparisons were completed with three different types of contaminated sediments: a field-collected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sediment, a lead-spiked control sediment, and a control sediment spiked with mineral oil. Assessment criteria included test endpoint sensitivity, endpoint consistency, statistical power, water quality, and logistical assessments. Results indicate that the current U.S. EPA method is preferable to the reduced sediment volume methods we assessed, but that a 250-ml beaker/10 organism experimental design is of comparable utility and may be advantageous when reduced sediment volumes are desirable because of high contaminant (spiking studies) or sediment disposal costs. In addition, the results of the current study provide toxicity reference values for PAHs, lead, and an oil surrogate for petroleum hydrocarbons. Environ. Toxicol.

A paucity of data exists for retention and clearance of these particles in the bird gastrointestinal tract. In the current study, northern bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus) were orally gavaged with 1, 5, or 10 Pb shot pellets, of 2-mm diameter, and radiographically followed over time. Blood Pb levels and other measures of toxicity were collected, to correlate with pellet retention. Quail dosed with either 5 or 10 pellets exhibited morbidity between weeks 1 and 2 and were removed from further study. Most of the Pb pellets were absorbed or excreted within 14 d of gavage, independent of dose. Pellet size in the ventriculus decreased over time in radiographs, suggesting dissolution caused by the acidic pH. Birds dosed with one pellet showed mean blood Pb levels that exceeded 1,300 µg/dl at week 1, further supporting dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract. Limited signs of toxicity were seen in the one-pellet birds; however, plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (d-ALAD) activity was persistently depressed, suggesting possible impaired hematological function.

The new flume can be used not only to measure erosion rates, but also to analyze and quantify the modes of transport for this complex problem. The new device was used to study transport modes of quartz particles ranging in size from 19 to 1,250 μm. As expected, the traps captured the coarse material (bed load) and the fine material bypassed the traps (suspended load). Transport properties of natural sediments from three locations were also studied. Fine sediments with little or no sand eroded as aggregates which maintained their integrity in the flume channel while moving as bed load into the traps. Natural sediments that included high percentage of sand also eroded as aggregates. However, these aggregates quickly disaggregated. Sand moved as bed load and fell into the traps while fine particles moved predominately in suspension.

Laboratory experiments were performed with a reef profile typical of fringing reef systems along the southeast coast of Guam. Spectral analysis of the measured time histories of surface elevation over the reef face and flats show significant changes to the wave energy spectrum shoreward of the break point. Most of the wave energy in the incident wave frequency band is dissipated within a few wavelengths of the reef face with the wave motions over the reef flat and shoreline dominated by oscillations at infragravity periods [O(100s) prototype]. The infragravity wave energy is minimum at the reef crest and increases as waves propagate shoreward over the reef flat and also with increasing water level on the reef. The dominant infragravity mode is the first reef oscillation mode with a wavelength approximately equal to four times the width of the reef flat. This component is resonantly amplified at the shoreline relative to the incident infragravity energy at the reef crest. A numerical model based on the Boussinesq equations is applied to the laboratory data and is able to describe complex changes to the wave spectrum over the reef flat due to nonlinear wave-wave interactions and wave breaking as well as runup at the shoreline.

In this paper, an analytical model for the upstream pressure field on a typical gate within the set is constructed. The gate rotation from the maximum elevation (gate in closed position) and the hydraulic torque transmitted by the pressure field to the gate tube are formulated. Mean values of parameters of response are often sufficient for the preliminary design of a gate. The dispersions of these parameters of response, which are necessary for the final design of a gate, may be computed using the corresponding mean-square values. These were obtained empirically in a flume from experiments on a 1/15-scale physical model of a set of three prototype gates for the Montgomery Point Lock and Dam project. Theoretical predictions of parameter mean and mean-square values compare well with the average corresponding statistics obtained experimentally.

Personnel (n = 24) were divided a priori into high, moderate, and low exposure groups. Questionnaires and personal air samples (breathing zone) were collected from each worker over 3 consecutive days (72 worker-days) and analyzed for total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalene. Air samples were collected from inside the fuel tank and analyzed for the same analytes. Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the exposure data. Our results show that the correlation of THC (a measure of overall JP8 inhalation exposure) with all other analytes was moderate to strong in the a priori high and moderate exposure groups combined. Inhalation exposure to all analytes varied significantly by self-reported JP8 exposure (THC levels higher among workers reporting JP8 exposure), a priori exposure group (THC levels in high group > moderate group > low group), and more specific job task groupings (THC levels among workers in fuel systems hangar group > refueling maintenance group > fuel systems office group > fuel handling group > clinic group), with task groupings explaining the most between-worker variability. Among highly exposed workers, statistically significant job task-related predictors of inhalation exposure to THC indicated that increased time in the hangar, working close to the fuel tank (inside > less than 25 ft > greater than 25 ft), primary job (entrant > attendant/runner/fireguard > outside hangar), and performing various tasks near the fuel tank, such as searching for a leak, resulted in higher JP8 exposure. This study shows that while a priori exposure groups were useful in distinguishing JP8 exposure levels, job task-based categories should be considered in epidemiologic study designs to improve exposure classification. Finally, the strong correlation of THC with naphthalene suggests that naphthalene may be an appropriate surrogate of JP8 exposure. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: This article reviews instructional features used in demonstration-based training (DBT).Background: The need for fast and effective training and performance support that can be accessed from anywhere is a growing need for organizations. DBT programs are one method to address these needs, but a better understanding of how to maximize the effectiveness of DBT activities is needed. Specifically, beyond the content of the demonstration (i.e., the dynamic example of task performance), what instructional features (i.e., information and activities in addition to the demonstration) can be used to improve the effectiveness of DBT interventions?Method:The authors conducted a systematic review of the applied and basic science literatures relevant to DBT.Results: Instructional features in DBT can be categorized according to the degree to which they encourage active learner involvement (i.e., active vs. passive), when they occur relative to viewing the demonstration (i.e., pre-, during-, and postdemonstration conditions), and the observational learning process they are intended to augment. Five categories of instructional features are described: passive guidance or support, preparatory activities, concurrent activities, retrospective activities, and prospective activities.Conclusion: There is a wide variety of instructional features used in DBT, but more systematic research is needed to understand the conditions under which each is most effective as well as to outline a method for sequencing of demonstration with other delivery methods, such as practice opportunities.Application: The framework presented in this article can help guide the systematic development of training systems incorporating DBT as well as provide a direction for future research.

However, some taxa of the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain (GACP) demonstrate complex yet recurrent distributional patterns that cannot be explained by this model. For example, eight co-occurring endemic plant taxa with ranges from New York to South Carolina exhibit a large disjunction separating northern and southern populations by >300 km. Pyxidanthera (Diapensiaceae), a plant genus that exhibits this pattern, consists of two taxa recognized as either species or varieties. We investigated the taxonomy and phylogeography of Pyxidanthera using morphological data, cpDNA sequences, and amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. Morphological characters thought to be important in distinguishing Pyxidanthera barbulata and P. brevifolia demonstrate substantial overlap with no clear discontinuities. Genetic differentiation is minimal and diversity estimates for northern and southern populations of Pxyidanthera are similar, with no decrease in rare alleles in northern populations. In addition, the northern populations harbour several unique cpDNA haplotypes. Pyxidanthera appears to consist of one morphologically variable species that persisted in or near its present range at least through the latter Pleistocene, while the vicariance of the northern and southern populations may be comparatively recent. This work demonstrates that the refugial paradigm is not always appropriate and GACP endemic plants, in particular, may exhibit phylogeographical patterns qualitatively different from those of other ENA plant species.

SN - 00074861 AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Lake Ontario watershed sediments were assessed for benthic bioavailability through the use of biota-sediment accumulation factors. Sediments from lake and Rochester Harbor (lower Genesee River) areas were investigated. Congeners 47, 66, 85, 99 and 100 were detected in tissues of the oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus. Biota-sediment accumulation factors ranged from 3.95 (congener 154) to 19.5 (congener 28) and were higher at the Lake Ontario area. The lower biota-sediment accumulation factors for the Rochester Harbor sediment may result from a higher fraction of black carbon generally expected in highly urbanized rivers. Degree of bromination may reduce bioavailability.

The model is based on the time-averaged continuity and momentum equations for nonlinear shallow-water waves coupled with the exponential probability distribution of the water depth. The model predicts the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the water depth and horizontal velocity. The model is compared with four test series in which measurement was made of the wave overtopping rate and probability as well as the water depth, velocity, and discharge exceeded by 2% of incident 1,000 waves. The agreement is mostly within a factor of 2. Damage progression of a stone armor layer is predicted by modifying a formula for bed load on beaches with input from the hydrodynamic model. The damage progression model is compared with three tests that lasted up to 28.5 h. The model predicts the eroded area of the damaged armor layer well but overpredicts the deposited area because it does not account for discrete stone units deposited at a distance seaward of the toe of the damaged armor layer.

Prespawn mortality in adult spring Chinook salmon outplanted above barrier dams. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2010: 19: 361–372. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Dams without fish passage facilities block access to much of the historic spawning habitat of spring Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Oregon’s Willamette River basin. Adult salmon are routinely outplanted above the dams to supplement natural production, but many die before spawning despite extensive suitable habitat. In 2004–2007, we examined prespawn mortality patterns using live detection and carcass recovery data for 242 radio-tagged outplants. Total prespawn mortality was 48%, but variability was high, ranging from 0% to 93% for individual release groups. Prespawn mortality was strongly condition dependent, consistently higher for females than males and higher for early release groups. Across years, warm water temperature in the migration corridor and at the collection site was associated with sharply higher mortality. Results highlight a need for better evaluations of the effects of adult mortality on population reintroduction and recovery and relationships among prespawn mortality, dam-related temperature change and salmon life history and behaviour.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 26 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 888 EP - 900 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Earthen levees are designed for little wave overtopping during a design storm, but excessive overtopping and overflow can occur due to the combined effects of an extreme storm, sea level rise, and land subsidence. The transition from little wave overtopping to excessive wave overtopping and overflow on an impermeable smooth levee is examined in waveflume experiments consisting of 107 tests. Existing empirical formulas are shown to be applicable to the cases of excessive wave overtopping and overflow in these tests. A numerical model based on time-averaged continuity, momentum, and wave action equations is connected to a new probabilistic model for the wet-and-dry zone, in order to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation and depth-averaged fluid velocity from outside the surf zone to the inner slope of the levee. The new model is calibrated to predict the measured overtopping and overflow rates within a factor of about two. The agreement is also shown to be similar for the water depths and velocities measured in the wet-and-dry zone on six different structures in 100 Dutch tests. The developed hydrodynamic model is coupled with new formulas for suspended-sand and bedload transport rates to predict dune erosion and overwash. The coupled model is compared with two small-scale tests on dune erosion with minor overwash, three large-scale tests on dune erosion, and field data on dune erosion and overwash due to severe storms lasting several days. The overwashed-dune profiles are predicted reasonably well, but the coupled model will need to be evaluated using measurements of wave overtopping and overwash rates.

A literature review screening was performed to identify low-cost natural mineral-based metal sorbents and high-performance commercial sorbents that were carried forward into laboratory experiments. Aqueous phase metal sorptivity of the selected sorbents was evaluated because dissolved metals in sediment porewater constitute an important route of exposure to benthic organisms. Based on pH-edge sorption test results, natural sorbents were eliminated due to inferior performance. The potential as in situ sediment amendment was explored by comparing the sorption properties of the engineered amendments in freshwater and saltwater (10 PPT salinity estuarine water) matrices. Self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports with thiols (Thiol-SAMMS™) and a titanosilicate mineral (ATS™) demonstrated the highest sorption capacity for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), respectively. Sequential extraction tests conducted after mixing engineered sorbents with contaminated sediment demonstrated transfer of metal contaminants from a weakly bound state to a more strongly bound state. Biouptake of Cd in a freshwater oligochaete was reduced by 98% after 5-d contact of sediment with 4% Thiol-SAMMS and sorbed Cd was not bioavailable. While treatment with ATS reduced the small easily extractable portion of Pb in the sediment, the change in biouptake of Pb was not significant because most of the native lead was strongly bound. The selected sorbents added to sediments at a dose of 5% were mostly nontoxic to a range of sensitive freshwater and estuarine benthic organisms. Metal sorbent amendments in conjunction with activated carbon have the potential to simultaneously reduce metal and hydrophobic contaminant bioavailability in sediments. Environ. Toxicol.

A series of studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of tungsten on several phosphate-dependent intracellular functions, including energy cycling (ATP), regulation of enzyme activity (cytosolic protein tyrosine kinase [cytPTK] and tyrosine phosphatase), and intracellular secondary messengers (cyclic adenosine monophosphate [cAMP]). Rat noncancerous hepatocyte (Clone-9), rat cancerous hepatocyte (H4IIE), and human cancerous hepatocyte (HepG2) cells were exposed to 1–1000 mg/l tungsten (in the form of sodium tungstate) for 24 h, lysed, and analyzed for the above biochemical parameters. Cellular ATP levels were not significantly affected in any cell line. After 4 h, tungsten significantly decreased cytPTK activity in Clone-9 cells at ≥ 18 mg/l, had no effect in H4IIE cells, and significantly increased cytPTK activity by 70% in HepG2 cells at ≥ 2 mg/l. CytPTK displayed a slight hormetic response to tungsten after 24-h exposure yet returned to normal after 48-h exposure. Tungsten significantly increased cAMP by over 60% in Clone-9 cells at ≥ 100 mg/l, significantly increased cAMP in H4IIE cells at only 100 mg/l, and significantly increased cAMP in HepG2 cells between 1–100 mg/l but at much more modest levels (8–20%). In conclusion, these data indicate that tungsten produces complex results that must be carefully interpreted in the context of their respective animal models, as well as the phenotype of the cell lines (i.e., normal vs. cancerous).

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2010/08// VL - 11 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 979 EP - 994 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - Numerous studies have attempted to address the land–precipitation coupling, but scientists’ understanding remains limited and discrepancies still exist from different studies. A new parameter Γ is proposed here to estimate the land–precipitation coupling strength based on the ratio of the covariance between monthly or seasonal precipitation and evaporation anomalies (from their climatological means) over the variance of precipitation anomalies. The Γ value is easy to compute and insensitive to the horizontal scales used; however, it does not provide causality. A relatively high Γ is a necessary—but not sufficient—condition for a relatively strong land–precipitation coupling. A computation of Γ values using two global reanalyses (ECMWF and NCEP), one regional reanalysis [North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)], and observed precipitation along with Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC)-derived evaporation data indicates that the land–precipitation coupling is stronger in summer and weaker in winter. The strongest coupling (i.e., hot spots) occurs over the western and central parts of North America, part of the Eurasia midlatitude, and Sahel in boreal summer and over most of Australia, Argentina, and South Africa in austral summer. The Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3) shows much higher Γ values, consistent with the strong coupling shown by its atmosphere–land coupled components in previous studies. Its overall spatial pattern of Γ values is not affected much over most regions by the doubling of CO2 in CCSM3. The Γ values from the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) are more realistic than those from CCSM3; however, they are still higher than those from observations over North America.

Ecotypes may arise following allopatric separation from source populations. The simultaneous transfer of an exotic plant to a novel environment, along with its stenophagous herbivore, may complicate more traditional patterns of divergence from the plant and insect source populations. 2. The present study evaluated herbivory effects by two Cyrtobagous salviniae ecotypes on two species of Salvinia: the larger S. molesta and the smaller S. minima. Evaluations were based on relative growth rates, biomass production, coverage, and nutrient cycling in a series of complementary and comparative laboratory and outdoor tank experiments. 3. In general, the experiment results indicated that the smaller Florida ecotype of C. salviniae impacted both Salvinia species more than the larger Brazil ecotype. Herbivory, especially by the Florida ecotype, also improved water quality and accelerated nutrient cycling by increasing the rates of litterfall from the standing crops of salvinia. 4. The smaller size of the Florida ecotype may be adaptive by allowing maximal exploitation of host plants via internal larval feeding, which presumably reduces predation risk while increasing damage to the plant. These findings provide support for relying on the suppressive effects of the Florida ecotype in Florida, rather than introducing the Brazil ecotype to counter new infestations of S. molesta.

Clinically, benzodiazepines are reported to lose anticonvulsant effectiveness the greater the delay between seizure onset and benzodiazepine treatment. This time-dependent diminished effectiveness of diazepam was tested in the present study. Seizures elicited by the nerve agent, soman, were produced in guinea pigs instrumented to record brain electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity. Different groups of animals were administered 10 mg/kg, intramuscularly, of diazepam at 5, 40, 60, 80, or 160 minutes after the onset of seizure activity. There was a progressive loss in the anticonvulsant efficacy of diazepam as the treatment was delayed after seizure onset, but no differences in the time for diazepam to stop seizures. The results show a diminished ability of diazepam to stop nerve-agent–induced seizures the longer treatment is delayed.

This study provides a procedure to include air emissions resulting from the combustion of diesel fuel during dredging operations into the dredging equipment selection decision-making process. The proposed procedure includes a limited life cycle assessment and is demonstrated for typical dredging methods and data from the Illinois Waterway as performed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, Ill. It was found that commonly used rules of thumb in the dredging industry hold true by indicating that mechanical bucket dredges are better suited for long transport distances and have lower air emissions and cost per cubic meter (m3) for smaller quantities of dredged material. In addition, the results show that a cutterhead pipeline dredge would be preferable for moderate and large volumes of dredged material when no additional booster pumps are required. Finally, the results indicate that production rates can be a significant factor when evaluating the air emissions from comparable dredging equipment.

Due to the potential for wide dispersal in soil systems, we chose to investigate the fate and effects of nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), the oxidized form of nano aluminum, in a terrestrial organism. The toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of micron-sized (50–200 µm, nominal) and nano-sized (11 nm, nominal) Al2O3 was comparatively assessed through acute and subchronic bioassays using the terrestrial earthworm, Eisenia fetida. Subchronic (28-d) studies were performed exposing E. fetida to nano- and micron-sized Al2O3-spiked soils to assess the effects of long-term exposure. No mortality occurred in subchronic exposures, although reproduction decreased at ≥3,000 mg/kg nano-sized Al2O3 treatments, with higher aluminum body burdens observed at 100 and 300 mg/kg; no reproductive effects were observed in the micron-sized Al2O3 treatments. In addition to toxicity and bioaccumulation bioassays, an acute (48-h) behavioral bioassay was conducted utilizing a soil avoidance wheel in which E. fetida were given a choice of habitat between control, nano-, or micron-sized Al2O3 amended soils. In the soil avoidance bioassays, E. fetida exhibited avoidance behavior toward the highest concentrations of micron- and nano-sized Al2O3 (>5,000 mg/kg) relative to control soils. Results of the present study indicate that nano-sized Al2O3 may impact reproduction and behavior of E. fetida, although at high levels unlikely to be found in the environment. Environ. Toxicol.

Elevated concentrations were found for inorganic contaminants (including As, Fe, Pb, and V), several organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and volatiles) and high concentration of bioaerosols, particularly Aeromonas and Vibrio. Data from different research groups confirm that some contaminant concentrations are elevated, that existing concentrations are similar to historical data, and that contaminants such as Pb and As may pose human health risks. Two data sets have been compiled in this article to serve as the foundation for preliminary risk assessments within greater New Orleans. Research from the present study suggests that children in highly contaminated areas of New Orleans may experience Pb exposure from soil ranging from 1.37 µg/d to 102 µg/d. These data are critical in the evaluation of children's health. Environ. Toxicol.

SN - 00447447 AB - The past decade has seen increased international recognition of the importance of the services provided by natural ecosystems. It is unclear however whether such international awareness will lead to improved environmental management in many regions. We explore this issue by examining the specific case of fish migration and dams on the Mekong river. We determine that dams on the Mekong mainstem and major tributaries will have a major impact on the basin's fisheries and the people who depend upon them for food and income. We find no evidence that current moves towards dam construction will stop, and consider two scenarios for the future of the fisheries and other ecosystems of the basin. We conclude that major investment is required in innovative technology to reduce the loss of ecosystem services, and alternative livelihood strategies to cope with the losses that do occur.

Expected frequency is exponentially related to measured frequency, being dependent on plot size of interest relative to plot size from which measured frequency was obtained. Expected frequency per plot size of interest (Fe) may be expressed as Fe = 1 - (1 - Fs)r, where Fs is measured frequency per plot size sampled and r is the ratio of plot size of interest to plot size sampled. The calculation assumes that plants are randomly distributed, or approximately so, and criteria for presence of plants in plots are consistent in studies being compared.

Despite the extended amount of time some bats spend in hibernation, researchers have only recently been able to study the hibernation ecology of bats under natural conditions. With the emergence of white-nose syndrome (WNS), a mysterious disease presently killing large numbers of bats during the hibernation period in the northeastern United States, expanding our knowledge of hibernation ecology and natural history has become more crucial. To collect such data, we used temperature-sensitive radio transmitters and data loggers to monitor the skin temperatures (Tsk) of 6 bats (5 Myotis lucifugus [Little Brown Bat], and 1 Myotis septentrionalis [Northern Long-eared Bat]) hibernating in Mount Aeolus Cave, VT in late winter 2008. We recorded Tsk every 14 minutes for the life of the transmitters. We were able to monitor Tsk from near ambient temperatures to above 30 °C. Arousals occurred immediately before the signals were lost and at a time of increased numbers of bats observed on the landscape, thereby suggesting the emergence (and subsequent death) of bats. Our observations provide first data on the hibernating ecology of WNS-affected bats under natural conditions.

SN - 18666280 AB - A back propagation artificial neural network approach is applied to three common challenges in engineering geology: (1) characterization of subsurface geometry/position of the slip (or failure surface) of active landslides, (2) assessment of slope displacements based on ground water elevation and climate, and (3) assessment of groundwater elevations based on climate data. Series of neural network models are trained, validated, and applied to a landslide study along Lake Michigan and cases from the literature. The subsurface characterization results are also compared to a limit equilibrium circular failure surface search with specific adopted boundary conditions. It is determined that the neural network models predict slip surfaces better than the limit equilibrium slip surface search using the most conservative criteria. Displacements and groundwater elevations are also predicted fairly well, in real time. The models’ ability to predict displacements and groundwater elevations provides a foundational framework for building future warning systems with additional inputs.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: This study examined whether benefits of conflict probe automation would occur in a future air traffic scenario in which air traffic service providers (ATSPs) are not directly responsible for freely maneuvering aircraft but are controlling other nonequipped aircraft (mixed-equipage environment). The objective was to examine how the type of automation imperfection (miss vs. false alarm) affects ATSP performance and attention allocation.Background: Research has shown that the type of automation imperfection leads to differential human performance costs.Method: Participating in four 30-min scenarios were 12 full-performance-level ATSPs. Dependent variables included conflict detection and resolution performance, eye movements, and subjective ratings of trust and self confidence.Results: ATSPs detected conflicts faster and more accurately with reliable automation, as compared with manual performance. When the conflict probe automation was unreliable, conflict detection performance declined with both miss (25% conflicts detected) and false alarm automation (50% conflicts detected).Conclusion: When the primary task of conflict detection was automated, even highly reliable yet imperfect automation (miss or false alarm) resulted in serious negative effects on operator performance.Application: The further in advance that conflict probe automation predicts a conflict, the greater the uncertainty of prediction; thus, designers should provide users with feedback on the state of the automation or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of the data underlying the conflict probe algorithm.

In this study we quantified immature mosquito abundance and its relationship with structural variables of the septic tanks and chemical properties of the water containing raw sewage. A miniaturized floating funnel trap was used to sample 89 septic tanks for larvae in the Puerto Rican community of Playa-Playita. Aedes aegypti larvae were recovered from 18% of the sampled tanks (10.3 larvae per septic tank per day). Larval presence was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls and uncovered access ports. Larval abundance was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls and larger tank surface areas, and inversely associated with the total dissolved solids (TDS). Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) larvae were also recovered from 74% of the septic tanks (129.6 larvae per septic tank per day). Larval presence was negatively associated with TDS in the water and larval abundance was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls. A screened, plastic emergence trap was used to sample 93 septic tanks within the community for Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus adults. Aedes aegypti adults were recovered from 49% of the sampled tanks (8.7 adults per septic tank per day) and Cx. quinquefasciatus adults were recovered from 97% of the sampled tanks (155.5 adults per septic tank per day). Aedes aegypti adult presence was positively associated with cracking, uncapped openings and septic water pH. The Ae. aegypti adult counts were positively associated with cracking and inversely associated with TDS and conductivity. This study marks the first published record of the recovery of Ae. aegypti larvae from holding tanks containing raw sewage in the Caribbean region. Our study indicates that Ae. aegypti larvae are present in sewage water and that septic tanks have at least the potential to maintain dengue transmission during the dry season.

This study assessed the environmental fate and potential for biological effects of a common military formulation, Composition B, under more realistic exposure scenarios (e.g., those that more closely simulate a breached artillery round or residual exposure following a low-order detonation). We used a novel approach incorporating multiple species and toxicity endpoints in sediment exposures over a 34-d exposure period. Composition B fragments exposed at the sediment surface rapidly released 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the overlying water column. In comparison, burial of fragments resulted in dramatically reduced exposure, bioconcentration, and toxicity. The addition of a conservative flow rate to the aquaria also reduced water and tissue concentrations by factors of two to three. Although the exposure system likely represented a worst-case scenario relative to most conditions found in coastal and estuarine environments, overlying water concentrations generally did not approach known toxicity thresholds, while porewater concentrations were sufficiently elevated above toxicity thresholds immediately adjacent to the fragments, limiting hazardous exposure only to very localized scales. Bioconcentration correlated closely with observed toxicity and was either not detectable (buried), or low (exposed), as is expected based on the low hydrophobicities of TNT and RDX. Environ. Toxicol.

Bioaccumulation did not change significantly over time for TNT but apparent steady-state was not reached for DDT at exposure termination after 7 days of dietary exposure. The bioaccumulation factor was 0.09 mg/mg for TNT and 0.34 mg/mg for DDT, confirming the low potential of TNT to bioaccumulate in fish.

JO - Journal of Water Resources Planning & Management JF - Journal of Water Resources Planning & Management Y1 - 2010/05// VL - 136 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 366 EP - 375 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339496 AB - The modification of land and water resources for human use alters the natural hydrologic flow regime of a downstream receiving body of water. The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium within the ecosystem. Best management practices mitigate the increased storm water runoff due to increased imperviousness and are typically designed and located within a watershed to match peak and minimum flows for a small set of targeted design storms. Ecosystems are, however, affected by all the characteristics of a long-term flow regime, including the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows. A more environmentally sustainable approach for watershed development is presented based on the minimization of differences in the characteristics of the flow regime between predevelopment and postdevelopment conditions. The indicator of hydrologic alteration (IHA) is a set of 33 hydrologic indices that characterize a flow regime and, coupled with the range of variability approach (RVA), can be used to evaluate a development strategy for its alteration of the long-term hydrologic flow regime. This paper presents a methodology to identify watershed management strategies that will have a minimal impact on the flow regime and downstream ecosystems. This methodology utilizes a metric that evaluates development strategies based on an IHA/RVA analysis implemented within a simulation-optimization framework. Continuous simulation of urban runoff for different land use strategies is enabled through the use of the storm water management model, and the resulting long-term hydrograph is analyzed using IHA/RVA. Development is allocated within subcatchments to maintain a predefined minimum level of total development while minimizing the hydrologic alteration. A hybrid optimization approach based on genetic algorithm and Nelder-Meade approaches is used to identify optimal land use allocation. Further analysis is conducted to identify alternative development patterns that allocate impervious development maximally differently among subcatchments while achieving similarly low alteration in the hydrologic flow regime.

SN - 00904341 AB - The use of lead in military and civilian small arms projectiles is widely acknowledged to have resulted in high soil lead concentrations at many small arms ranges. These ranges are often adjacent to wildlife habitat or have become habitat when no longer used. To assess the potential toxicity of lead to terrestrial amphibians in contaminated areas, we exposed 100 red-backed salamanders ( Plethodon cinereus) to either a control soil or one of four soil treatments amended with lead acetate for 28 days. Analytical mean soil concentrations were 14 (control), 553, 1700, 4700, and 9167 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. An additional 60 salamanders were also exposed for 28 days to one of six field-collected soil samples from a small arms range and a skeet range. The field soil concentrations ranged from 11 (background) to 16,967 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Salamander survival was reduced in amended soil treatments of 4700 and 9167 mg/kg by 15% and 80%, respectively. Inappetence was observed at 4700 and 9167 mg/kg and growth decreased in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. Total white blood cells decreased 32% at 4700 mg/kg compared to controls and were 22% lower in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. In contrast, survival was 100% for all field-collected soils with no hematological effects. At 16,967 mg/kg there was evidence of soil avoidance and decreased growth. These data suggest marked differences in toxicity and bioavailability of the lead-amended soil in contrast to the field-collected soil containing lead.

This paper discusses runoff and sediment transport from compost mulch berms on a simulated military training landscape. The berms were constructed using mixtures of municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and sub-soil (SL) in eight different proportions at Hazel Green, North Alabama, in Fall 2006. Berms made from 100% soil, which had over 140 000 L ha-1 of runoff and 13.3 kg ha-1 of sediment transport over the study period, had the greatest risk of causing off-site negative environmental effects. Berms made from 100% PB and 100% WC or combinations of compost materials without soil had the lowest risk of causing environmental pollution from runoff and sediment transport. Compared to soil, compost mulches can significantly reduce negative environmental effects to downstream ecosystems when used for berm construction on military training ranges. However, measures to minimize transport of C and N in runoff sediment, such as planting grass cover crops, need to be evaluated to make the technology more environmentally sustainable.

The purpose of this experiment is to assess the response of medaka to aquatic estrogen exposure over the course of 1 year. Each week, three pairs of adult male medaka were exposed separately for 4 days (100% static renewal daily) to 17β-estradiol at a nominal level of 25 μg/l, with a fourth pair of fish exposed separately to an ethanol control. Vitellogenin (VTG) induction was observed each week, with hepatic and plasma VTG levels significantly higher ( P < 0.001) than reported for ethanol control specimens. A significant ( P < 0.001) increasing trend was observed for plasma VTG results over the duration of the study, whereas a decreasing trend ( P = 0.030) of hepatic VTG was evident. A Durbin–Watson test, however, did not demonstrate any serial autocorrelation of hepatic ( d = 1.180) or plasma ( d = 1.311) VTG levels over the duration of the study. Time-series transformations of the hepatic and plasma VTG data did not reveal any significant seasonal or behavioral patterns. However, significant intermittent peaks in VTG production were observed in both tissue types during the study. These data indicate that some consideration must be taken to time long-term medaka exposures (>20 weeks) in order to eliminate any influence of cyclic changes on plasma VTG response. Alternatively, hepatic cytosolic measurement of VTG appears to show a more sensitive response to aquatic estrogen exposure.

We used GPS collars to document the movements of 10 female deer during the breeding season at two Mid-Atlantic study sites that support high-density herds with nearly equal sex ratios. We calculated 95% and 50% seasonal and weekly kernel home ranges and the daily percentage of points located outside of the seasonal home range (SHR). Peaks in weekly home range size and in the percentage of points located outside of the SHR occurred between 7 Nov. and 9 Dec. (x̄ = 22 Nov.) for eight deer. Past data from one of the study sites have indicated that most breeding activity occurs from 5-25 Nov. Peaks in the percentage of points outside of the SHR corresponded to brief (x̄ = 24.0 h, sd = 18.2 h; range 8-68 h) excursions. On peak days, 46-100% (x̄ = 68.3%, sd = 17.1%) of data points were located outside of the SHR. No other excursions were observed during the 17 wk study period. Our results suggest that female deer may travel outside of their home range during the breeding season even when presented with an abundance of potential mates; these data suggest females are engaging in a discrete form of mate selection.

SN - 0890037X AB - Pathogens were not seriously considered as biological control agents for aquatic plants in theU nited States until the Chesapeake Bay Eurasian watermilfoil decline occurred in the 1960s. The decline and suggestion that it was induced by pathogens spawned interest in the use of pathogens as biological control agents for nuisance aquatic species. In the years that followed, emphasis was placed on finding pathogen agents for some of the most problematic aquatic weeds, including waterhyacinth, Eurasian watermilfoil, and hydrilla. The scientist that has contributed the most to our knowledge of pathogen biological control in aquatic plants has been Dr. Raghavan Charudattan (University of Florida, Gainesville, FL). For the past 40 yr, he has authored or coauthored more than 50 manuscripts devoted to the subject in peer-reviewed journals, books, and proceedings.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 29 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 998 EP - 1005 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - The uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) from soil by the earthworm Eisenia andrei was examined by using the equilibrium partitioning (EqP) theory and a three-compartment model including soil (S), interstitial water (IW), and earthworms (E). The RDX concentrations were measured using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 8330A and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The S-IW studies were conducted using four natural soils with contrasting physicochemical properties that were hypothesized to affect the bioavailability of RDX. Each soil was amended with nominal RDX concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. The HPLC analysis showed that the IW extracted from soil was saturated with RDX at 80 mg/kg or greater soil concentrations. The calculated S-IW coefficient (Kp) values for RDX ranged from 0.4 to 1.8 ml/g soil, depending on the soil type, and were influenced by the organic matter content. In the IW-E studies, earthworms were exposed to nonlethal RDX concentrations in aqueous media. The uptake of RDX by the earthworms correlated well (r2 = 0.99) with the dissolved RDX concentrations. For the E-S studies, earthworms were exposed to RDX-amended soils used in the S-IW studies. The bioconcentration factors (BCF; ratios of E-to-IW RDX concentrations) were relatively constant (∼5) up to 80 mg/kg soil RDX concentrations, which encompass the RDX saturation limit in the interstitial water of the tested soils. At this concentration range, the RDX uptake from interstitial water was likely dominated by passive diffusion and could be used as an indicator of bioavailability. Other mechanisms may be involved at greater RDX soil concentrations. Environ. Toxicol.

JO - Journal of Freshwater Ecology JF - Journal of Freshwater Ecology Y1 - 2010/03// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 93 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 02705060 AB - The invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) has become pervasive in much of the Mississippi River, its tributaries, and in connected lakes and wetlands. As an increasingly abundant planktivore, it competes directly for food with native fishes. Its greatest impact may be in connected backwater lakes and wetlands, which due to their high primary production serve as critical sites for feeding and growth of many fishes. To assess the impact that silver carp may have on one such system, we examined the composition of plankton samples and of alimentary tract (gut) contents of carp collected from an oxbow lake in Mississippi, Forest Home Chute. Through an occasional connection to the Mississippi River, Forest Home Chute was invaded by silver carp in winter 2005, after which the river and lake became disconnected for about two years. In the water-column, the most common types of phytoplankton were euglenoid algae, cyanobactena, and diatoms. The vast majority of zooplankton was rotifers with densities sometimes exceeding 7,000 organisms per liter. Very high concentrations of phytoplankton in the carp gut, relative to in the water-column, indicate substantial consumption of phytoplankton production. In October 2006, euglenoid phytoplankters were a much greater, and cyanobactena a much lesser, proportion of prey in the fish gut compared to their proportions in the water-column. In December, however, there was no evidence of selective consumption by the silver carp population. Some of the phytoplankters observed in the lowest portion of the gut, including pinnate diatoms and euglenoid algae, were motile, indicating they had survived transit through the 5 to 7-m long gut tract. There was no evidence of rotifer survival of gut passage. By its high consumption of plankton, possible selective planktivory, and differential digestion of consumed phytoplankton and zooplankton, the silver carp may be altering the food web structure of these important connected lakes.

SN - 00188158 AB - The Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) is a large and diverse river system that changes character along its 1,200 mile network of rivers and canals and 2.6 million acres of floodplain. It supports more than 30 million people in its watershed, a significant commercial waterway, more than a million acres of “floodplain” agriculture and about one-half million acres of river-floodplain managed for fish, wildlife, and recreation. Large-scale geomorphology and climate patterns largely determine the hydrologic characteristics of a nested hierarchy of UMRS river reaches. The human impacts above are also important drivers determining hydrologic characteristics within the hierarchy. Understanding the relationship among physical and chemical processes and ecological responses is critical to implement an adaptive management framework for UMRS ecosystem sustainability. Historic or contemporary data from 42 locations were used to examine changes in UMRS hydrology and to demonstrate the utility of a multiple reference condition analysis for river restoration. A multivariate mathematical framework was used to show how river stage hydrology can be characterized by the variability, predictability, seasonality, and rate of change. Large-scale “geomorphic reaches” have distinct hydrologic characteristics and response to development throughout the UMRS region, but within navigation pool hydrology is similar among all impounded reaches regardless of geomorphic reach. Reaches with hydrologic characteristics similar to historic reference conditions should be examined to determine whether those characteristics support desired management objectives. Water levels can be managed, within limits to support navigation and agriculture, to more closely resemble natural hydrology for the benefit of a variety of species, habitats, and ecological processes.

The new requirements controlling ocean disposal of dredged material pose significant challenges to the South Korean government, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material is no longer permitted. Hence, other alternatives for treating and disposing of contaminated dredged material are being evaluated and selected for implementation. A new management and decision approach is therefore needed for regulators and implementers to show what information and what decision-making processes were used to make the decision, to increase administrative transparency for such projects in the public domain. To address this need, an iterative approach was developed for dredged material management that includes the essential elements of process, people, and tools needed for successful environmental decision making. The approach has 6 steps: problem definition, developing objectives and criteria, identifying alternatives, performing the evaluation, comparing alternatives, and selecting the preferred alternative. The primary objective of the approach is to provide a systematic means of exploring contaminated dredged material management alternatives in South Korea using criteria that integrate risk with economic and stakeholder value information. The approach incorporates the desired decision-making attributes of transparency, comparative analysis, and inclusion of public input. Although it was developed for South Korea, the approach can be applied in any situation in which dredged material management alternatives are being considered to manage contaminated sediment risks.

Contaminants in these sediments include heavy metals and organic compounds. Newly introduced regulations for ocean disposal of dredged material in South Korea pose significant challenges, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material was no longer possible after August 2008. The South Korean government has mandated that such sediments be assessed in a way that identifies the most appropriate dredged material management alternative, addressing environmental, social, and cost objectives. An approach using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) in combination with comparative risk assessment was used as a systematic and transparent framework for prioritizing several dredged sediment management alternatives. We illustrate how MCDA can recognize the multiple goals of contaminated sediment management. Values used in weighting decision criteria were derived from surveys of stakeholders who were sediment management professionals, business owners, or government decision makers. The results of the analysis showed that land reclamation was the preferred alternative among cement-lock, sediment washing, 3 contained aquatic disposal alternatives (one in combination with a hopper dredge), geotextile tubes, solidification, and land reclamation after solidification treatment. Land reclamation was the preferred alternative, which performed well across all MCDA objectives, because of the availability of a near-shore confined disposal facility within a reasonable distance from the dredging area.

SN - 10151621 AB - Abstract  Backwaters connected to large rivers retain nitrate and may play an important role in reducing downstream loading to coastal marine environments. A summer nitrogen (N) inflow-outflow budget was examined for a flow-regulated backwater of the upper Mississippi River in conjunction with laboratory estimates of sediment ammonium and nitrate fluxes, organic N mineralization, nitrification, and denitrification to provide further insight into N retention processes. External N loading was overwhelmingly dominated by nitrate and 54% of the input was retained (137 mg m−2 day−1). Ammonium and dissolved organic N were exported from the backwater (14 and 9 mg m−2 day−1, respectively). Nitrate influx to sediment increased as a function of increasing initial nitrate concentration in the overlying water. Rates were greater under anoxic versus oxic conditions. Ammonium effluxes from sediment were 26.7 and 50.6 mg m−2 day−1 under oxic and anoxic conditions, respectively. Since anoxia inhibited nitrification, the difference between ammonium anoxic–oxic fluxes approximated a nitrification rate of 29.1 mg m−2 day−1. Organic N mineralization was 64 mg m−2 day−1. Denitrification, estimated from regression relationships between oxic nitrate influx versus initial nitrate concentration and a summer lakewide mean nitrate concentration of 1.27 mg l−1, was 94 mg m−2 day−1. Denitrification was equivalent to only 57% of the retained nitrate, suggesting that another portion was assimilated by biota. The high sediment organic N mineralization and ammonium efflux rate coupled with the occurrence of ammonium export from the system suggested a possible link between biotic assimilation of nitrate, mineralization, and export.

Accordingly, fish distributions have been studied for nearly three decades. These studies, however, have not been integrated and summarized in a single body of work to determine overall patterns in the spatial distribution of emigrants. We reviewed peer-reviewed and gray literature to summarize species-specific trends in the horizontal and vertical distributions of emigrating salmonids as measured by several different methods. We found that there were no species-specific differences in horizontal distributions and that fish were often oriented with the river thalweg. There were weak differences between species in vertical distributions, e.g., juvenile yearling steelhead were shallower during the day than yearling Chinook salmon. For sockeye, coho, and subyearling Chinook salmon, the data were limited or conflicting. Studies were purposefully designed to measure distributions at certain dams under particular environmental conditions for specific, local purposes. The non-standard sampling design has hampered the development of testable hypothesis on fish distributions in the Snake and Columbia rivers. Recent advances in individual-based models are offering the potential to forecast fish distributions near dams and facilitate improved bypass system design.

The purposes were not just to save lives, but to benefit the military by returning more patients to duty and reducing the size of the hospital system through fewer infections and shorter hospital stays. The Army examined the utility of the units at the end of the war and retained them for any future conflicts, but opposition also survived. The question was the utility for the Army: was it worth making a substantial investment, and reducing care for other wounded soldiers, for the most grievously wounded, perhaps 1 percent of the total? Devising an effective way to organize forward SHs was a problem in the interwar years and early in World War II (WWII). But from the late 1930s, the Army never reexamined whether it should provide forward surgery, only how to do so, including pushing surgeons even further forward on the battlefield. At the end of WWII, the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) was created to perform the mission, although the MASH was only the latest format.

JO - Armed Forces & Society (0095327X) JF - Armed Forces & Society (0095327X) Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 587 EP - 601 SN - 0095327X AB - Prior to the repeal of “don't ask, don't tell” (DADT) on September 20, 2011, many observers predicted that allowing lesbian, gay and bisexual troops to serve openly would harm the military, and a group of more than 1,000 retired general and flag officers predicted that repeal could “break the All-Volunteer Force.” This study is the first scholarly effort to assess the accuracy of such predictions about the impact of DADT repeal on military readiness. We conducted our research during the half-year period starting six months after repeal and concluding at the one year mark, and we pursued ten separate research strategies including in-depth interviews, survey analysis, on-site field observations, pretest/posttest quasi experimentation, secondary source analysis, and a comprehensive review of media articles. Our goal was to maximize the likelihood of identifying evidence of damage caused by repeal, and we made vigorous efforts to collect data from repeal opponents including anti-repeal generals and admirals, activists, academic experts, service members and watchdog organizations. Our conclusion, based on all of the evidence available to us, is that DADT repeal has had no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment, or morale. If anything, DADT repeal appears to have enhanced the military's ability to pursue its mission.

On the one hand, there is a desire to give remote participants the same views and capabilities that they would have as local participants. On the other hand, there are settings where experimental specimens and apparatus are large and difficult to manipulate effectively or view from a remote vantage point. This article argues for more novel forms of remote participation by drawing on exploratory interview and observation data gathered in civil engineering laboratories. It is shown that, while experiments are in progress, the engineers studied focus primarily on detecting and preventing specimen failures, and that their unease about remote participation stems from doubts about the ability of remote participants to detect failures adequately. It is argued that this presents the opportunity to consider novel roles for remote participants that exploit the features of e-science technologies.

The principles tested include game aesthetics, player choice, and player competition. The experiment participants were asked to play a serious game over the course of a week, and the learning outcomes were measured by comparing their pretest and posttest scores. The results of a one-tailedttest indicated, with apvalue of 0.043, that there was a statistically significant effect of the aesthetic presentation of the game upon the learning outcome. There was no indication of a significant effect by the player choice or player competition conditions, but the results from these experiment groups point to some potentially interesting interactions between the conditions and learning, as well as possible future lines of experimental inquiry.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance documents define risk as the 'probability and severity of loss linked to hazards' and prescribe a composite risk assessment method. The Delta Risk Management Strategy performed for a group of state and federal partners provided analyses of the relative probability of hazards and severity of risks in the Delta and provide the information needed for a risk analysis compliant with USACE requirements. Composite Risk assessment provides rank-ordered lists of the highest risk zones-those with the greatest probability of failure combined with the most severe consequences-for several hundred protected areas in the Delta. Although uncertainties in the absolute magnitude of the results make them most useful for comparisons, the actual values of the probabilities and consequences are alarming. For example, Sargent Barnhart Tract, northwest of Stockton, has a mean annual failure rate of 0.07, or an expected levee failure every 14 years, with a probable 96 fatalities for a nighttime seismic-induced failure. Adjacent tracts with only slightly lower failure probabilities put another 500 lives at risk. An area of the Suisun Marsh has a projected failure rate of 0.5, or once every two years, with maximum possible damages exceeding $250 million. The Sacramento Pocket Area, with a mean annual failure rate of 0.006, has over $9 billion at risk. Although refinements to these risk estimates are possible, this paper and the Delta Risk Management Strategy analyses provide more than sufficient evidence that flooding in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta presents significant risks to California and the nation. Hundreds of lives and billions of dollar damages are at risk. Urgent action is necessary to manage those risks.

JO - Journal of Environmental Radioactivity JF - Journal of Environmental Radioactivity Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 131 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 39 SN - 0265931X AB - Abstract: The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS™) (http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/treecs/) is being developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) for the U.S. Army to forecast the fate of munitions constituents (MC) (such as high explosives (HE) and metals) found on firing/training ranges, as well as those subsequently transported to surface water and groundwater. The overall purpose of TREECS™ is to provide environmental specialists with tools to assess the potential for MC migration into surface water and groundwater systems and to assess range management strategies to ensure protection of human health and the environment. The multimedia fate/transport models within TREECS™ are mathematical models of reduced form (e.g., reduced dimensionality) that allow rapid application with less input data requirements compared with more complicated models. Although TREECS™ was developed for the fate of MC from military ranges, it has general applicability to many other situations requiring prediction of contaminant (including radionuclide) fate in multi-media environmental systems. TREECS™ was applied to the Borschi watershed near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine. At this site, TREECS™ demonstrated its use as a modeling tool to predict the fate of strontium 90 (90Sr). The most sensitive and uncertain input for this application was the soil-water partitioning distribution coefficient (K d) for 90Sr. The TREECS™ soil model provided reasonable estimates of the surface water export flux of 90Sr from the Borschi watershed when using a K d for 90Sr of 200 L/kg. The computed export for the year 2000 was 0.18% of the watershed inventory of 90Sr compared to the estimated export flux of 0.14% based on field data collected during 1999–2001. The model indicated that assumptions regarding the form of the inventory, whether dissolved or in solid phase form, did not appreciably affect export rates. Also, the percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed 90Sr, which is uncertain and affects the amount of 90Sr available for export, was fixed at 20% based on field data measurements. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis was conducted treating K d as an uncertain input variable with a range of 100–300 L/kg. This analysis resulted in a range of 0.13–0.27% of inventory exported to surface water compared to 0.14% based on measured field data. Based on this model application, it was concluded that the export of 90Sr from the Borschi watershed to surface water is predominantly a result of soil pore water containing dissolved 90Sr being diverted to surface waters that eventually flow out of the watershed. The percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed 90Sr and the soil-water K d are the two most sensitive and uncertain factors affecting the amount of export. The 200-year projections of the model showed an exponential decline in 90Sr export fluxes from the watershed that should drop by a factor of 10 by the year 2100. This presentation will focus on TREECS capabilities and the case study done for the Borschi Watershed.

JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 132 M3 - Article SP - 16 EP - 30 SN - 00167037 AB - Antimony (Sb) is a contaminant of concern that can be present in elevated concentrations in shooting range soils due to mobilization from spent lead/antimony bullets. Antimony in shooting range soils has been observed as either metallic Sb(0) or as Sb(V) immobilized by iron (hydr)oxides. The absence of Sb(III) in soils is indicative of rapid Sb(III) oxidation to Sb(V) under surface soil conditions. However, the major controls on antimony oxidation and mobility are poorly understood. To better understand these controls we performed multiple batch experiments under oxic conditions to quantify the oxidation and dissolution of antimony in systems where Sb(0) is oxidized to Sb(III) and further to Sb(V). We also tested how variations in the aqueous matrix composition and the presence of metallic lead (Pb) affect the dissolution, solid phase speciation, and oxidation of antimony. We monitored changes in the aqueous antimony speciation using liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS). To test which solid phases form as a result of Sb(0) oxidation, and therefore potentially limit the mobility of antimony in our studied systems, we characterized the partially oxidized Sb(0) powders by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The observed oxidation of Sb(0) to Sb(III) and mobilization to solution is rapid: after 5–15min of reaction the aqueous antimony concentration reached 50–600μM. The amount of dissolved antimony and the rate of Sb(III) oxidation to Sb(V) in deionized water is lower than what we measured in the simulated groundwater systems. Sénarmontite (Sb2O3), the primary crystalline oxidation product of Sb(0), was detected after one month from the beginning of Sb(0) oxidation. The maximum aqueous Sb(III) concentration is about 30 times larger than the predicted equilibrium concentration with respect to sénarmontite in the initial stages (<65h) of our experiment. Concentrations reach equilibrium within 146–222days. The maximum concentration of Sb(V) is controlled by cation availability for the precipitation of an antimonate. In the systems where sodium Na(I) exceeded 20mM precipitation of mopungite is observed. No crystalline phases were detected in the systems with added lead, and the dissolved Sb(V) concentration is several orders of magnitude higher than would be expected in equilibrium with bindheimite (Pb2Sb2O7). The observed solubility of Sb(V) in the systems with Ca(II) is several orders of magnitude larger than the solubility reported for roméite (Ca2Sb2O7). The addition of Pb(0) lowered the extent of Sb(0) oxidation due to competitive oxidation or to the coupling of antimony and lead redox reactions. The results from our research can be used to identify substrates that promote precipitation of relatively insoluble antimony compounds in target berm soils and thus prevent the offsite migration of antimony from shooting range target berms.

JO - Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts JF - Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 16 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1103 EP - 1111 AB - This paper presents a controlled experiment comparing several quantitative passive samplers for monitoring concentrations of volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors in soil gas using a flow-through cell. This application is simpler than conventional active sampling using adsorptive tubes because the flow rate does not need to be precisely measured and controlled, which is advantageous because the permeability of subsurface materials affects the flow rate and the permeability of geologic materials is highly variable. Using passive samplers in a flow-through cell, the flow rate may not need to be known exactly, as long as it is sufficient to purge the cell in a reasonable time and minimize any negative bias attributable to the starvation effect. An experiment was performed in a 500 mL flow-through cell using a two-factor, onehalf fraction fractional factorial test design with flow rates of 80, 670 and 930 mL min-1 and sample durations of 10, 15 and 20 minutes for each of five different passive samplers (passive Automatic Thermal Desorption Tube, Radiello®, SKC Ultra, Waterloo Membrane Sampler™ and 3M™ OVM 3500). A Summa canister was collected coincident with each passive sampler and analyzed by EPA Method TO-15 to provide a baseline for comparison of the passive sampler concentrations. The passive sampler concentrations were within a factor of 2 of the Summa canister concentrations in 32 of 35 cases. Passive samples collected at the low flow rate and short duration showed low concentrations, which is likely attributable to insufficient purging of the cell after sampler placement.

We explored whether polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) cause effects through intact nanoparticles or dissolved silver. Females of the model species fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to either 4.8 μg/L of AgNO3 or 61.4 μg/L of PVP-AgNPs for 96h. Microarray analyses were used to identify impacted receptors and toxicity pathways in liver and brain tissues that were confirmed using in vitro mammalian assays. AgNO3 and PVP-AgNP exposed fish had common and distinct effects consistent with both intact nanoparticles and dissolved silver causing effects. PVP-AgNPs and AgNO3 both affected pathways involved in Na+, K+, and H+ homeostasis and oxidative stress but different neurotoxicity pathways. In vivo effects were supported by PVP-AgNP activation of five in vitro nuclear receptor assays and inhibition of ligand binding to the dopamine receptor. AgNO3 inhibited ligand binding to adrenergic receptors α1 and α2 and cannabinoid receptor CB1, but had no effect in nuclear receptor assays. PVP-AgNPs have the potential to cause effects both through intact nanoparticles and metal ions, each interacting with different initiating events. Since the in vitro and in vivo assays examined here are commonly used in human and ecological hazard screening, this work suggests that environmental health assessments should consider effects of intact nanoparticles in addition to dissolved metals.

Cyclic simple shear testing was performed on various sand-fines mixtures at a range of modified Proctor relative compaction levels and degrees of saturation. Aside from the expected strong influence of relative compaction, increasing fines content is found to generally decrease volume change for fines fractions consisting of silts and clayey silts of moderate-to-low plasticity index (PI≤10). With truly nonplastic fines (rock flour), cyclic volume change increases with FC. Some materials also exhibit an effect of as-compacted saturation in which moderate saturation levels associated with high matric suction cause volume change to decrease. Additionally, the data consistently demonstrate that vertical strains decrease as overburden pressure is increased in a manner consistent with a previous clean sands model. This paper presents empirical equations to capture these effects, which extend a previous clean-sand volumetric-strain material model to account for the previously unconsidered effects of fines content and saturation.

Sediments from Torch Lake, Michigan served as the test samples. These sediments are mining by-products with elevated Cu levels. Six experiments were run during which the sediments were conditioned to simulate different forms of residuals. During these experiments, the water column above the sediments was circulated via peristaltic pumping or orbital shaking and the total and dissolved Cu levels were monitored periodically for 15 days. Dissolved Cu levels indicated that during the first 48 hr the water column concentrations approached equilibrium for all six cases. Total Cu levels increased with time and did reach equilibrium but were more susceptible to fluctuations in water column suspended solids levels. Analysis of the resulting dissolved Cu data indicated that the resulting water column Cu concentrations differed with sediment surface and residual type. The highest dissolved Cu water column concentrations were observed for a roughened surface with a larger surface area. The lowest water column dissolved Cu levels were observed for the case with sediment slurry placed over clean sand. The dissolved Cu levels in the water column for all six simulated conditions were several orders higher than the USEPA ambient water quality criteria for protection of aquatic life. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.* [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Remediation Journal is the property of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. / Education and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Because commonly cited force-feeding pellet exposure studies deviate from true field conditions, their results may not reflect true risks faced by upland birds. In particular, studies that use new shot pellets and administer more pellets than would be reasonably ingested, critically interfere with the understanding of actualized pellet exposures. In this study, northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus), a frequent test species in shot pellet research, were dosed in an ecologically-relevant manner (i.e., with spent shot and with no more than three pellets). Notably, the 56-day post-dosing observation period, during which a battery of physiological measures were recorded, exceeded that of related studies. Despite a sustained suppression of a lead poisoning indicator, the data suggest upland birds can withstand spent shot pellet exposures. Data detected a survivorship ≥95%, absence of illness, demonstrated tolerance for extremely high blood lead concentrations, and unaffected blood parameters. In conjunction with ecological considerations (e.g., spatial scale and animal behavior), concern about bird population losses from the incidental ingestion of spent shot pellets is potentially overstated.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/03/04/ VL - 48 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2619 EP - 2625 SN - 0013936X AB - Regional change in the variability and magnitude of flooding could be a major consequence of future global climate change. Extreme floods have the capacity to rapidly transform landscapes and expose landscape vulnerabilities through highly variable spatial patterns of inundation, erosion, and deposition. We use the historic activation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway during the Mississippi and Ohio River Flooding of 2011 as a scientifically unique stress experiment to analyze indicators of floodplain vulnerability. We use pre- and postflood airborne Light Detection and Ranging data sets to locate erosional and depositional hotspots over the 540 km² agricultural Floodway. While riparian vegetation between the river and the main levee breach likely prevented widespread deposition, localized scour and deposition occurred near the levee breaches. Eroded gullies nearly 1 km in length were observed at a low ridge of a relict meander scar of the Mississippi River. Our flow modeling and spatial mapping analysis attributes this vulnerability to a combination of erodible soils, flow acceleration associated with legacy fluvial landforms, and a lack of woody vegetation to anchor soil and enhance flow resistance. Results from this study could guide future mitigation and adaptation measures in cases of extreme flooding.

Systematic, transparent prioritization of contaminants can improve utility decision-making. A methodology was developed to identify, screen, evaluate, and determine appropriate actions for a wide range of contaminants, including regulated parameters, contaminants of emerging concern, and aesthetic issues. Actions were assigned on the basis of “utility risk,” defined as the risk that the utility may produce undesirable water through potential health effects of unregulated contaminants, exceeding aesthetic levels, or regulatory noncompliance. Application of this methodology at Washington Aqueduct in Washington, D.C., narrowed a list of more than 700 candidate contaminants down to about a dozen priority contaminants, allowing the utility to focus on the most beneficial actions when considering future capital improvements and nontreatment approaches to enhance drinking water quality.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 40 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 141 EP - 148 SN - 03801330 AB - Environmental windows are seasonal restrictions imposed on dredging operations in the Great Lakes and other waterways of the United States. Such restrictions often generically assume that sediments resuspended by dredg-ing result in adverse impacts to fish; this is the case in western Lake Erie where the environmental window was established due to potential impacts on walleye (Sander vitreus). To address this concern, laboratory studies mimicking sediment resuspension during dredging operations in western Lake Erie were conducted to deter-mine whether suspended sediments affect walleye eggs and fingerlings. Newly laid eggs and 45- to 60-d old fingerlings from separate hatcheries were exposed for 72-h under flow-through conditions to 0,100,250, and 500 mg/L total suspended sediment (TSS). Fingerlings, eggs, and newly hatched larvae were analyzed for multi-ple lethal and sublethal endpoints. Data indicated no significant effects of suspended sediment on egg hatch suc-cess or fingerling survival after three days of exposure. No significant differences were observed when comparing percent egg viability in the control with any TSS treatment; however, a downward trend was observed at 500 mg/L. No significant differences were observed during comparisons of fingerling gill lamellae in the control with any TSS treatment; however, a statistically significant difference was observed when comparing gill lamel-lae in the control with the original supply animals. No significant differences were found between control means and unexposed eggs or any TSS treatment. These effect data for walleye will serve to better inform the setting of environmental windows for this species in western Lake Erie.

JO - Applied Geography JF - Applied Geography Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 48 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 30 SN - 01436228 AB - Abstract: This study addresses the need for a policy-relevant climatic vulnerability model in sub-Saharan Africa, where data is typically poor and people are exposed to a wide range of environmental and socioeconomic stressors that are unique to the region. This research applies a multi-scale, multi-indicator methodology that allows policy-makers and experts flexibility to contextualize causal factors in the modeling process through selection of evidence-based variables of vulnerability. This process is easily scaled to stakeholders needs, whether at a state, district or local level. This article provides a framework to assist stakeholders and policy-makers in Malawi to determine what drives vulnerability at a household level, which areas in the country are most vulnerable and where development solutions should be applied. As financial assistance related to climate adaptation increases rapidly in Africa, this article presents timely results for Malawi and an auspicious methodology that can assist other vulnerable countries.

Two groups (one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States) independently evaluated inhibitor-resistant PCR reagents for the direct testing of substrates. In the United Kingdom, a multiplexed Bacillus anthracis (target) and Bacillus subtilis (internal-control) PCR was used to evaluate 4 reagents against 5 PCR inhibitors and down-selected the TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step master mix (Life Technologies Inc.). In the United States, four real-time PCR assays (targeting B. anthracis, Brucella melitensis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus [VEEV], and Orthopoxvirus spp.) were used to evaluate 5 reagents (plus the Fast Virus master mix) against buffer, blood, and soil samples and down-selected the KAPA Blood Direct master mix (KAPA Biosystems Inc.) with added Platinum Taq (Life Technologies). The down-selected reagents underwent further testing. In the United Kingdom experiments, both reagents were tested against seven contrived aerosol collector samples containing B. anthracis Ames DNA and B. subtilis spores from a commercial formulation (BioBall). In PCR assays with reaction mixtures containing 40% crude sample, an airfield-collected sample induced inhibition of the B. subtilis PCR with the KAPA reagent and complete failure of both PCRs with the Fast Virus reagent. However, both reagents allowed successful PCR for all other samples—which inhibited PCRs with a non-inhibitor-resistant reagent. In the United States, a cross-assay limit-of-detection (LoD) study in blood was conducted. The KAPA Blood Direct reagent allowed the detection of agent DNA (by four PCRs) at higher concentrations of blood in the reaction mixture (2.5%) than the Fast Virus reagent (0.5%), although LoDs differed between assays and reagent combinations. Across both groups, the KAPA Blood Direct reagent was determined to be the optimal reagent for inhibition relief in PCR.

When the system detects activity, it tracks and counts the moving object. The implementation uses an adaptive background-subtraction algorithm for detection and motion prediction for tracking. The system can be used to reduce the amount of video that must be reviewed by personnel, and it can produce total fish passage counts through the monitored area. The automated system reduced the total number of video hours requiring review by an average of 87.5% for count window videos and 83.5% for videos of picketed leads and lamprey passage orifices. The software detected 98.6% of the 144 Pacific LampreysEntosphenus tridentatusthat were observed in 185 h of raw video. Because the system is fully automated, monitoring requirements are negligible, and the cost reduction for fish monitoring is proportional to the number of quiet frames removed.

T1 - Forecasting landscape effects of Mississippi River diversions on elevation and accretion in Louisiana deltaic wetlands under future environmental uncertainty scenarios. JO - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science JF - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 138 M3 - Article SP - 57 EP - 68 SN - 02727714 AB - Abstract: Large sediment diversions are proposed and expected to build new wetlands to alleviate the extensive wetland loss (5000 km2) affecting coastal Louisiana during the last 78 years. Current assessment and prediction of the impacts of sediment diversions have focused on the capture and dispersal of both water and sediment on the adjacent river side and the immediate outfall marsh area. However, little is known about the effects of sediment diversions on existing wetland surface elevation and vertical accretion dynamics in the receiving basin at the landscape scale. In this study, we used a spatial wetland surface elevation model developed in support of Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan to examine such landscape-scale effects of sediment diversions. Multiple sediment diversion projects were incorporated in the model to simulate surface elevation and vertical accretion for the next 50 years (2010–2060) under two environmental (moderate and less optimistic) scenarios. Specifically, we examined landscape-scale surface elevation and vertical accretion trends under diversions with different geographical locations, diverted discharge rates, and geomorphic characteristics of the receiving basin. Model results indicate that small diversions (<283 m3 s−1) tend to have limited effects of reducing landscape-scale elevation loss (<3%) compared to a future without action (FWOA) condition. Large sediment diversions (>1500 m3 s−1) are required to achieve landscape-level benefits to promote surface elevation via vertical accretion to keep pace with rising sea level.

The HP germination of multiple individual Bacillus subtilis spores in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) was monitored with phase-contrast microscopy. Major conclusions were that (i) >95% of wild-type spores germinated in 40 min in a DAC at -150 MPa and 37°C but individual spores' germination kinetics were heterogeneous; (ii) individual spores' HP germination kinetic parameters were similar to those of nutrient-triggered germination with a variable lag time (Tlag) prior to a period of the rapid release (▵Trelease) of the spores' dipicolinic acid in a 1:1 chelate with Ca2+ (CaDPA); (iii) spore germination at 50 MPa had longer average Tlag values than that at ∼ 150 MPa, but the ▵Trelease values at the two pressures were identical and HPs of < 10 MPa did not induce germination; (iv) B. subtilis spores that lacked the cortex-lytic enzyme CwIJ and that were germinated with an HP of 150 MPa exhibited average ATrelease values ∼ 15-fold longer than those for wild-type spores, but the two types of spores exhibited similar average Tlag values; and (v) the germination of wild-type spores given a ⩾30-s 140-MPa HP pulse followed by a constant pressure of 1 MPa was the same as that of spores exposed to a constant pressure of 140 MPa that was continued for ⩾35 min; (vi) however, after short 150-MPa HP pulses and incubation at 0.1 MPa (ambient pressure), spore germination stopped 5 to 10 min after the HP was released. These results suggest that an HP of ∼ 150 MPa for ⩾30 s is sufficient to fully activate spores' GRs, which remain activated at 1 MPa but can deactivate at ambient pressure.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 143 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 187 SN - 00028487 AB - Models based on simple air temperature–water temperature relationships have been useful in highlighting potential threats to coldwater-dependent species such as Brook TroutSalvelinus fontinalisby predicting major losses of habitat and substantial reductions in geographic distribution. However, spatial variability in the relationship between changes in air temperature to changes in water temperature complicates predictions. We directly measured paired summer air and water temperatures over 2 years in a stratified representative sample of watersheds (<1–274 km2) supporting wild Brook Trout throughout Virginia near the southern edge of the species distribution. We used the temperature data to rank streams in terms of two important components of habitat vulnerability: sensitivity (predicted change in water temperature per unit increase in air temperature) and exposure (predicted frequency, magnitude, and duration of threshold water temperatures). Across all sites, sensitivity was substantially lower (median sensitivity = 0.35°C) than the 0.80°C assumed in some previous models. Median sensitivity across all sites did not differ between the 2 years of the study. In contrast, median exposure was considerably greater in 2010 (a particularly warm summer) than in 2009, but exposure ranks of habitat patches were highly consistent. Variation in sensitivity and exposure among habitat patches was influenced by landscape metrics (percent forested riparian corridor, patch area, and elevation), but considerable unexplained variation in sensitivity and exposure among sites was likely due to local-scale differences in the extent of groundwater influence. Overall, our direct measurement approach identified significantly more Brook Trout habitat patches with low sensitivity and low exposure that may persist under warming air temperatures than did previous large-scale models. Our sensitivity and exposure classification should provide a useful general framework for managers in making investment decisions for protecting and restoring Brook Trout habitat.

JO - Environmental Modelling & Software JF - Environmental Modelling & Software Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 51 M3 - Article SP - 296 EP - 309 SN - 13648152 AB - Abstract: Untangling drivers of systems and uncertainty for species distribution models (SDMs) is important to provide reliable predictions that are useful for conservation campaigns. This is particularly true for species whose habitat is threatened by climate change that enhances the uncertainty in future species distributions. Global sensitivity and uncertainty analyses (GSUA) is a robust method to globally investigate the uncertainty of SDMs and the importance of species distributions' drivers in space and time. Here we apply GSUA to MaxEnt that is one of the popular presence-only SDMs. We consider the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) (SP) in Florida that is a shorebird whose habitat is affected by sea level rise due to climate change. The importance of intrinsic and exogenous input factors to the uncertainty of the species distribution is evaluated for MaxEnt. GSUA is applied for three projections of the habitat (2006, 2060, and 2100) according to the A1B sea level rise scenario. The large land cover variation determines a moderate decrease in habitat suitability in 2060 and 2100 prospecting a low risk of decline for the SP. The regularization parameter for the environmental features, the uncertainty into the classification of salt-marsh, transitional marsh, and ocean beach, and the maximum number of iterations for the model training are in this order the most important input factors for the average habitat suitability. These results are related to the SP but, in general MaxEnt appears as a very non-linear model where uncertainty mostly derives from the interactions among input factors. The uncertainty of the output is a species-specific variable. Thus, GSUA need be performed for each case considering local exogenous input factors of the model. GSUA allows quantitative informed species-management decisions by providing scenarios with controlled uncertainty and confidence over factors' importance that can be used by resource managers.

JO - Environmental Impact Assessment Review JF - Environmental Impact Assessment Review Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 44 M3 - Article SP - 58 EP - 66 SN - 01959255 AB - Abstract: Summarized herein are 28 case studies wherein trend-related causative physical, social, or institutional changes were connected to consequential changes in runoff, water quality, and riparian and aquatic ecological features. The reviewed cases were systematically evaluated relative to their identified environmental effects; usage of analytical frameworks, and appropriate models, methods, and technologies; and the attention given to mitigation and/or management of the resultant causative and consequential changes. These changes also represent important considerations in project design and operation, and in cumulative effects studies associated therewith. The cases were grouped into five categories: institutional changes associated with legislation and policies (seven cases); physical changes from land use changes in urbanizing watersheds (eight cases); physical changes from land use changes and development projects in watersheds (four cases); physical, institutional, and social changes from land use and related policy changes in river basins (three cases); and multiple changes within a comprehensive study of land use and policy changes in the Willamette River Basin in Oregon (six cases). A tabulation of 110 models, methods and technologies used in the studies is also presented. General observations from this review were that the features were unique for each case; the consequential changes were logically based on the causative changes; the analytical frameworks provided relevant structures for the studies, and the identified methods and technologies were pertinent for addressing both the causative and consequential changes. One key lesson was that the cases provide useful, “real-world” illustrations of the importance of addressing trend-related changes in cumulative effects studies within water resources planning. Accordingly, they could be used as an “initial tool kit” for addressing trend-related changes.

JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 140 M3 - Article SP - 690 EP - 703 SN - 00344257 AB - Abstract: The thermal infrared (TIR) wavelength region has proved highly useful for remotely extracting important parameters of volcanic activity, such as the composition, texture, and temperature of either the surface or gas/aerosol emissions. However, each of these characteristics can vary within the area of one pixel of a remote sensing dataset, which ultimately affects the accuracy of the retrieval of these characteristics. For example, where multiple temperatures occur in a particular pixel, the derived emissivity spectrum and pixel-integrated brightness temperature for that pixel are inaccurate. We present a new approach for deconvolving thermally-mixed pixels in a day/night pair of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared (TIR) scenes over Kilauea volcano, acquired during an active effusive phase in October 2006. The thermal deconvolution algorithm identifies thermally-mixed pixels and determines the multiple temperature components and their area, using data from the higher spatial resolution short wave infrared (SWIR) channels of ASTER. The effects of thermal mixing on the emissivity retrievals were quantified using a spectral deconvolution approach comparing the original to the thermally deconvolved data. The root mean squared (RMS) error improved slightly from 0.879 to 0.813, whereas the compositional end-members changed more dramatically (e.g., glass decreased from 70.2% to 49.3% and the vesicularity increased from 0.7% to 16.3%). The results provide more accurate temperature and emissivity data derived from ASTER data over thermally-elevated surfaces such as volcanoes and fires. This approach also serves as rapid means for accurately identifying sub-pixel temperatures, commonly obscured in low to medium spatial resolution orbital datasets. Moreover, it minimizes processing time, allowing critical information to be quickly disseminated.

JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 140 M3 - Article SP - 118 EP - 129 SN - 00344257 AB - Abstract: The albedo of the Greenland ice sheet plays a key role in the energy balance and climate of the arctic. Change in snow albedo values associated with changing climate conditions can be monitored remotely from satellite platforms viewing the entire Greenland ice sheet, yet comparisons to high quality surface measurements are necessary to assess the accuracy of satellite measurements as new snow albedo algorithms are developed with higher spatial and temporal resolution. During May, June, and July 2011, we obtained daily measurements of spectral albedo at Summit, Greenland with an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectroradiometer, scanning at 350–2200nm. We compare our spectral albedo field measurements to the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), using both the Version 005 Direct Broadcast daily albedo product and the recently developed Version 006 MCD43A daily albedo product. The spectral field measurements allow calculation of weighted integrals to compare to seven MODIS narrow bandwidths ranging the UV through Infrared, as well as a broadband integration to compare to the MODIS shortwave albedo. We additionally compare our field measurements to albedo measured at the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) station at Summit. Using the MODIS Version 005 Direct Broadcast product, high-quality retrievals only, comparison to field measurements results in root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.033 for the MODIS shortwave product, and RMSE for the MODIS narrow bandwidths ranging 0.022–0.077. The new MODIS Version 006 product shows considerable improvement, with shortwave RMSE of 0.026, and narrow bandwidths ranging 0.020–0.048. These error values for the Version 006 albedo product show an improvement in reported error values from previous MODIS field validations in Greenland, which have been limited to broadband data from the Greenland Climate Network Automatic Weather Stations.

Substantial evidence now exists showing how, and under what conditions, ecosystems can play a valuable function in wave and storm surge attenuation, erosion reduction, and in the longer term maintenance of the coastal profile. Both through their capacity for self repair and recovery, and through the often considerable cobenefits they provide, ecosystems can offer notable advantages over traditional engineering approaches in some settings. They can also be combined in 'hybrid' engineering designs. We make 10 recommendations to encourage the utilization of existing knowledge and to improve the incorporation of ecosystems into policy, planning and funding for coastal hazard risk reduction.

JO - Cleveland State Law Review JF - Cleveland State Law Review J1 - Cleveland State Law Review PY - 2014/05// Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 62 IS - 2 CP - 2 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 436 SN - 00098876 AB - Analyzing a difficult subject that pervades contract law and which is vital to the national economy, many scholars have written about boilerplate contracts. With her 2013 book, Boilerplate: The Fine Print, Vanishing Rights and the Rule Of Law, Professor Margaret Jane Radin weighs in on the discussion, rejecting utilitarian-welfare notions that economic efficiency can justify the extensive use of mass market boilerplate. In her main contention, Radin argues that mass market standard form contracts improperly degrade consumer rights in the area of voluntary consent (herein "normative degradation"). Although her book has achieved great renown, receiving high praise from prominent commentators, with plaudits such as "groundbreaking," "a great achievement," and a "masterpiece," I respectfully suggest that the book has problems on both doctrinal and normative grounds. In my Article, I summarize the author's argument on normative degradation, identify my concerns, and propose an alternative formulation. My counter thesis is that both statute and court decisions properly support consumer rights in the area of voluntary consent for mass-market standard form contracts. Besides being the first full-length critique of Boilerplate, this Article also has contributed some original observations to the secondary literature, most prominently identifying a division of authority on whether mutual assent and freedom of contract exist with adhesion contracts. I also provide a solution for these conflicts. Because a valid normative and legal argument must reflect accurate doctrinal principles, I question the views of those commentators praising Radin's book as a valuable contribution to contract law.

Arrays of 100 sensors were arranged in square configurations with sensor spacing of 2 m. Wind noise data were collected at one site. Synthetic infrasound signals were superposed on top of the wind noise to determine the accuracy and sensitivity of the technique with respect to signal-to-noise ratio. The technique was then applied to an impulsive event recorded at a different site. Preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of this approach.

The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of the location of a BC microphone on the intensity and frequency spectrum of the recorded speech. Twelve locations, 11 on the talker's head and 1 on the collar bone, were investigated. The speech sounds were three vowels (/u/, /a/, /i/) and two consonants (/m/, /∫/). The sounds were produced by 12 talkers. Each sound was recorded simultaneously with two BC microphones and an AC microphone. Analyzed spectral data showed that the BC recordings made at the forehead of the talker were the most similar to the AC recordings, whereas the collar bone recordings were most different. Comparison of the spectral data with speech intelligibility data collected in another study revealed a strong negative relationship between BC speech intelligibility and the degree of deviation of the BC speech spectrum from the AC spectrum. In addition, the head locations that resulted in the highest speech intelligibility were associated with the lowest output signals among all tested locations. Implications of these findings for BC communication are discussed.

The literature suggests that shorter trainees may be more susceptible to injury due to overstriding that can occur when taller recruits dictate marching cadence. This study assessed the effects of fixed cadence simulated marching at cadences above and below preferred step rate (PSR) on lower extremity joint mechanics in individuals who were unaccustomed to marching. During three separate visits, 13 volunteers walked with a 20 kg load on a force-sensing treadmill at self-selected PSR, PSR+15% (shorter strides), and PSR-15% (longer strides) at 1.3 m/s for 60 min. Two-way RM ANOVAs (cadence by time) were performed during the stance phase. Ranges of motion and anteroposterior ground reaction force increased significantly as cadence decreased (P < .03). Knee extension moment increased slightly when step rate decreased from PSR+15% (shortest strides, 0.85 ± 0.2 N m/kg) to PSR (0.87 ± 0.3 N m/kg, 3% increase); however, this increase was substantially greater (20% increase) when cadence was decreased from PSR to PSR-15% (longest strides, 1.09 ± 0.3 N m/kg). Our results indicate that overstriding during fixed-cadence marching is a factor that can substantially increase mechanical stress on lower extremity joints.

AB - Background: Infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a poor prognosis. Intensification of therapy has resulted in fewer relapses but increased early deaths, resulting in failure to improve survival.Procedure: AALL0631 is a Phase 3 study for infants (<366 days of age) with newly diagnosed ALL. Induction initially (Cohort 1) consisted of 3 weeks of therapy based on COG P9407. Due to excessive early mortality, induction was amended to a less intensive 5 weeks of therapy based on Interfant-99. Additionally, enhanced supportive care guidelines were incorporated with hospitalization during induction until evidence of marrow recovery and recommendations for prevention/treatment of infections (Cohort 2).Results: Induction mortality was significantly lower for patients in Cohort 2 (2/123, 1.6%) versus Cohort 1 (4/26, 15.4%; P = 0.009). All induction deaths were infection related except one due to progressive disease (Cohort 2). Sterile site infections were lower for patients in Cohort 2 (24/123, 19.5%) versus Cohort 1 (15/26, 57.7%; P = 0.0002), with a significantly lower rate of Gram positive infections during induction for patients in Cohort 2, P = 0.0002. No clinically significant differences in grades 3-5 non-infectious toxicities were observed between the two cohorts. Higher complete response rates were observed at end induction intensification for Cohort 2 (week 9, 94/100, 94%) versus Cohort 1 (week 7, 17/25, 68%; P = 0.0.0012).Conclusion: De-intensification of induction therapy and enhanced supportive care guidelines significantly decreased induction mortality and sterile site infections, without decreasing complete remission rates.

Establishing a valid method of identifying athletes at elevated risk for injury could lead to intervention programs that lower injury rates and improve overall athlete performance. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS)TM is an efficient and reliable method to screen movement patterns during the performance of specific tasks. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between pre-season FMS TM scores and the development of injury in a population of collegiate athletes Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study Methods: FMSTM scores were obtained for 160 collegiate athletes and injury development was tracked throughout the season. These athletes were both male and female and participated in contact and noncontact sports. Redundancies were utilized with injury data collection, including medical record reviews and interviews with team athletic trainers, to ensure that all injuries requiring medical attention were captured. At the conclusion of the season, a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine which combination of factors best predicted injury. Results: Athletes with an FMSTM composite score at 14 or below combined with a self-reported past history of injury were at 15 times increased risk of injury. A positive likelihood ratio of 5.8 was calculated which improved the probability of predicting injury from 33% pretest to 74% posttest. Conclusions: This study adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating a predictive relationship between FMSTM composite scores and past history of injury with the development of future injury.

A total of 39 studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically evaluated. Most of the literature targeted activity of daily living (ADL)–based interventions and collectively provided strong evidence for the use of occupation-based interventions to improve ADL performance. The evidence related to instrumental ADLs was much more disparate, with limited evidence to support the use of virtual reality interventions and emerging evidence to support driver education programs to improve occupational performance poststroke. Only 6 studies addressed leisure, social participation, or rest and sleep, with sufficient evidence to support only leisure-based interventions. The implications of this review for research, education, and practice in occupational therapy are also discussed.

Westmoreland, or to praise his successor, General Creighton Abrams. This interpretation is simplistic and inaccurate. Although the report criticized aspects of the war under Westmoreland, its target was really the US and Vietnamese governments. Moreover, PROVN's conclusions were less radical and its remedies less novel than observers have tended to admit. A fresh look at PROVN reveals significant continuities in thought between Westmoreland, the report, and Abrams.

The word "Dresden" is typically one of the first uttered whenever the topic of strategic bombing is raised. And yet, like many other high-profile historical events, the Dresden raid is encrusted with myth and misunderstanding. This article is an effort to make sense of a complicated and much misunderstood episode in the history of modern warfare and to make sense of it in the context in which it occurred. The article draws on 1960's literature on Dresden, earlier histories, and a wide array of primary sources in an effort to provide for teachers, scholars, and general readers a comprehensive but still concise overview of the air raid that has won such a central place in the history of World War II.

There are shortcomings with 2-D generated and projected images because they do not provide a true immersion in a 3-D environment or a feeling of total presence in a real-world situation. To overcome these limitations, more realistic virtual reality (VR) and 3-D displays and environments have been developed. The VR application to product and system design activities, allowing the viewing and review of entire systems, assemblies, and parts. They provide far more realistic 3-D displays and even a rotational capability for viewing inside, on top of, beside, or under objects in reduced, normal, or large scale-in local or networked environments. If needed, tactile response systems provide a sense of grasping, rotating, picking up, and movement. Fortunately, these enabling technologies are available at a time when public and private sector organizations are continuously seeking ways to improve productivity and effectiveness in task accomplishment. Many organizations are using a variety of first and second generation CVDEs routinely as a foundation for collaborative virtual design and product development.

In this regard, the issues of robust design (RD) and tolerance design (TD) are clearly important, but there is significant room for improvement. The primary objective of this paper is to propose a set of enhanced optimization strategies by combining RD and TD. To be more specific, first, we consider an alternative experimental scheme using response surface methodology, while avoiding the use of controversial tools for RD such as orthogonal arrays and signal-to-noise ratios. Secondly, we discuss an enhanced optimization model by simultaneously considering both the process mean and variance, and then show that this model provides a better (or at least equal) solution in terms of the control factor settings. Thirdly, we show how the response functions for the process mean and variance, which are estimated by using an RD principle, are transmitted into the TD stage. Fourthly, we propose an optimization model for TD and present closed-form solutions for optimum tolerance limits. Finally, we study the possible effects of major cost components, and observe the behaviour of the optimum control parameter settings and the tolerance limits by carrying out sensitivity analysis.

Calendar year 2011 was an epic year for floods in the United States, from the flooding on the Red River of the North in late spring to the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri River basin floods in the spring and summer to the flooding caused by Hurricane Irene along the eastern seaboard in August. As a society, we continually seek to reduce flood impacts, with these efforts loosely grouped into two categories: mitigation and risk awareness. Mitigation involves such activities as flood assessment, flood control implementation, and regulatory activities such as storm water and floodplain ordinances. Risk awareness ranges from issuance of flood forecasts and warnings to education of lay audiences about the uncertainties inherent in assessing flood probability and risk. This paper concentrates on the issue of flood risk awareness, specifically the importance of hydrologic data and good interagency communication in providing accurate and timely flood forecasts to maximize risk awareness. The 2011 floods in the central United States provide a case study of the importance of hydrologic data and the value of proper, timely, and organized communication and collaboration around the collection and dissemination of that hydrologic data in enhancing the effectiveness of flood forecasting and flood risk awareness.

Given the process specification limits and associated rework or rejection costs, the traditional method for identifying the optimal process mean involves assuming values for each of the process distribution parameters prior to implementing an optimization scheme. In contrast, this article proposes integrating response surface methods into the framework of the problem, thus removing the need to make assumptions on the parameters. Furthermore, whereas researchers have studied models to investigate this research problem for a single quality characteristic and multiple nominal-the-best type characteristics, this article specifically examines the mixed multiple quality characteristic problem. A non-linear programming routine with economic considerations is established to facilitate the identification of the optimal process mean vector. An analysis of the sensitivity corresponding to the cost structure, tolerance, and quality loss settings is also provided to illustrate their effect on the solutions.

This paper relies on panel data funded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies. Beach choices of respondents were combined with beach attribute data to reveal how changes in width affect choice and the economic value of beach visits. We use a random-utility approach to show that the value of beach width varies for different types of beach uses: water contact, sand-, and pavement-based activities. We also find that the marginal value of beach width depends on initial beach width.

When Saboted-Light-Armor-Penetrator (SLAP) ammunition is fired in M2 barrels, the bore often constricts below the minimum diameter in less than 2,500 rounds. The requirement is 10,000 rounds. When fired with ball ammunition, the M2 barrel exceeds that requirement. Although SLAP ammunition is not widely used, solving the wear issue with SLAP may improve the barrel life with ball ammunition. The following work is presented: a literature search, an analysis of the wear phenomenon and manufacturing process, as well as recommendations to improve M2 barrel life. Brief mention will be made of prototype small caliber gun barrels being fabricated and tested. Previous work and testing conducted herein find that the bore constriction is most likely caused by inadequate shrink fit during the barrel assembly process. That is, test results find some correlation between barrels with low round count and non-conforming barrel assembly.

For the modeling, both axisymmetric and three-dimensional (3-D) meshes were developed and used to assess the transient thermal- and stress-states and the propensity for fracture related damage. For all calculations, temperature dependent thermophysical and elastic properties were used during the analysis. The model also utilized uniform heating and pressure across the ID surface imposed via convective coefficients and a piece-wise linear pressure function. Results indicated that both had a significant influence on the maximum circumferential (hoop) stresses and temperatures and that the compressive thermal stresses help to offset the tensile stresses generated by the pressure. Calculations also looked into the influence of these factors when a cracks and/or blister defect was introduced at the interface of the coating and substrate with and without pressure.

An interior ballistics and finite element model provided the maximum bore temperatures in a 155 mm gun after aggressive firing. Specimens were manufactured out of three different steels. Testing was performed on bare steel as well as copper plated specimens at temperatures ranging from 868°C to 1,100°C. Additionally, notched and un-notched specimens were tested. After testing, metallography, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were performed. Embrittlement occurred in all copper plated steels tested at 1,100°C. Below 1,100°C, there was only slight evidence of embrittlement.

They both are subjected to an extreme thermal and erosive condition resulting from electrical resistance or combustion gas. While there are similarities, there are also striking differences due to the difference of propulsion mechanisms. Both are explored and compared in the present paper with emphasis placed on the aspect of materials and mechanics.

Explosive cladding has been shown to be a successful method for bonding liners into 25-mm M242 Bushmaster barrels. The process relies on commercially available tube products that serve as the liner materials, which are often difficult to manufacture. Cold spray is a novel process used to consolidate metal powders into both thin coatings and large bulk materials that is being investigated as a cost effective alternative to conventional processing techniques. This work examines the use of cold spray as it pertains to the consolidation of Ta donor tubes for explosively bonded gun liners. Ta tubes were consolidated and annealed to increase the ductility of the material from 0.2% strain to 35% strain as determined by tensile testing. Ta donor tube was successfully explosively clad to 25 mm gun barrel forging. Bond strength testing results of explosively clad cold spray tube were found to be comparable to commercially obtained liners.

However, no research to date has focused on the relationship of employees' wisdom strengths, potential mediating effects and creative task performance. Utilising a large heterogeneous sample ( N = 974) of working adults, this study found that participants' levels of the character strengths of wisdom were positively related to their performance on a creative task and negatively related to their reported level of stress. In addition, stress was found to be negatively related to creative task performance, with reported stress partly mediating the relationship between participants' wisdom and their performance on the creative task. Implications for incorporating character strengths in the development of HRM theory and practice conclude the article.

The increased availability of foreign borrowing may make it easier for countries to pursue bellicose policies by altering the cost-benefit calculations associated with international conflict, giving rise to an underappreciated link between globalization and military action. This has not been addressed because globalization is most often approached through the income statement, such as trade flows, or the asset side of the balance sheet, such as foreign direct investment. A series of empirical tests using time-series cross-section analysis of militarized disputes, finds a strong relationship between foreign debt ownership and conflict.

IED detonations occur predominantly on roads, footpaths, or trails. Therefore, locations are best described when constrained to the road network, and some spaces on the network are more dangerous at specific times of the day. We propose a statistical model that reduces the spatial location to one dimension and uses a cyclic time as a second dimension. Based on the Poisson process methodology, we develop normalised, inhomogeneous, bivariate intensity functions measuring the threat of attack to support resourcing decisions. A simulation and an analysis of attacks on a main supply route in Baghdad are given to illustrate the proposed methods. Additionally, we provide an overview of the growing demand for the analysis efforts in support of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and provide an extensive literature review of developments in counter-IED analysis.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 138 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1192 EP - 1201 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339364 AB - Construction project managers are often faced with the challenge of managing a complex construction process consisting of multiple trades working on a large number of interdependent tasks. A social network is a pattern of ties that exist between different entities (i.e., people, organizations, countries). There is an underlying social network of trades that exists with a construction project and recognizing it can help a management team succeed in this challenging environment. A $50 million project involving 43 trades was studied over a 28-week period. Pajek, a social network analysis program, was used to generate a series of 14 social networks for the trades involved. Both degree and eigenvector centrality were analyzed to reflect the distribution of relationships through the network and to identify the key trades. This research is useful to project managers and is significant as it outlines and illustrates a method of identifying the underlying network and associated key trades of a construction project based on spatial proximity. While this research is based upon an individual case study, the apsects of this research are repeatable. The methods presented in this paper will enable others to develop a social network that is tailored for a specific aspect of a project, ranging from contract development teams to the individual trades using a critical path method (CPM) schedule.

The construction process is complex and consists of a large number of interdependent and sequential tasks. Construction activities are simulated as serial production lines, using state- and resource-based simulation of construction processes simulation models, to investigate the effects that different production control strategies (push/pull and balanced/unbalanced) have on productivity and work-in-process. The sensitivity to task duration variance is also examined for different working strategies. Simulation results are used to compare the models based on their performance. In the presence of duration variance, push strategies result in higher productivity, whereas pull strategies result in lower amounts of work-in-process. Pull strategies are more sensitive to the presence of duration variance. Work-in-process is also a function of the coefficient of variance. Simulation results are used to compare the tradeoffs between strategies. The findings will help construction managers better understand the effects of working strategies and conditions to decide which production control strategy is best suited for their needs.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Ricin and abrin are among the most lethal plant toxins known to humans. Even minute amounts, if effectively used, could cause considerable injury and mortality. Because of potency, stability, relative ease of production, and worldwide availability of their source plants, ricin and abrin are potential biological weapons. Ricin was also developed as an aerosol biological weapon by the U.S. and its allies during WWII, but was never used in battle. Ricin is not considered an effective weapon of mass destruction, but it has been the agent of choice in numerous biocrimes. Despite being associated with death and biological warfare, both ricin and abrin are also well known for their use in therapeutic applications and biomedical research. This article provides an overview of ricin and abrin, and their perspectives in bioterrorism and biocrime.

Fatality review boards further this goal through the analysis of circumstances of child deaths, making recommendations for improvements in practices and policies, and promoting increased cooperation among the many systems that serve families. The purpose of this article is to review types of child maltreatment death, proposed classification models, risk and protective factors, and prevention strategies. Methods: This review is based on scientific and medical literature, national reports and surveys, and reports of fatality review boards. Findings: Children can be killed soon after birth or when older through a variety of circumstances, such as with the suicide of the perpetrator, or when the perpetrator kills the entire family. Death through child neglect may be the most difficult type of maltreatment death to identify as neglect can be a matter of opinion or societal convention. These deaths can occur as a result of infant abandonment, starvation, medical neglect, drowning, home fires, being left alone in cars, and firearms. Models of classification for child maltreatment deaths can permit definition and understanding of child fatalities by providing reference points that facilitate research and enhance clinical prediction. Two separate approaches have been proposed: the motives of the perpetrator and the circumstances of death of the child victim. The latter approach is broader and is founded on an ecological model focused on the nature and circumstances of death, child victim characteristics, perpetrator characteristics, family and environmental circumstances, and service provision and need. Many risk factors for maternal and paternal filicide have been found, but most often included are young maternal age, no prenatal care, low education level, mental health problems, family violence, and substance abuse. Many protective factors can be specified at the individual, family, and community level. Early interventions for children and families are facilitated by the increased awareness of service providers who understand the risk and protective factors for intentional and unintentional child death. Discussion/Impact/Recommendations: There is currently no roadmap for the prevention of child maltreatment death, but increased awareness and improved fatality review are essential to improving policies and practices. Prevention strategies include improving fatality review recommendations, using psychological autopsies, serious case reviews, and conducting research. We recommend a public health approach to prevention, which includes a high level of collaboration between agencies, particularly between the military and civilian. The adoption of a public health model can promote better prevention strategies at individual, family, community, and societal levels to address and improve practices, policies, and public attitudes and beliefs about child maltreatment. The process of making recommendations on the basis of fatality review is important in terms of whether they will be taken seriously. Recommendations that are too numerous, impractical, expensive, lack relevance, and are out of step with social norms are unlikely to be implemented. They can be helpful if they are limited, focused, lead to definitive action, and include ways of measuring compliance.

Olfactory adaptation, or desensitization to an odorant, may ameliorate performance degradation. Olfactory adaptation is traditionally measured by detection threshold and perceived intensity. Nontraditional measures including stress, confusion, and escape behavior may better reflect impacts on performance but face validity concerns. This article describes a pilot study undertaken to determine what measurements and techniques are best suited and logistically feasible to explore olfactory adaptation with respect to performance of a relevant task. Results of the pilot study confirmed validity of selecting an experimental adaption period a length of time between two previously published results. The study also validated traditional detection threshold and perceived intensity measures and data collection techniques. Electrodermal activity data, a nontraditional measure of stress, proved more promising than inconsistent heart rate or blood pressure. Nontraditional measures of confusion/bewilderment also produced inconsistent outcomes. Perceived workload data were collected for timing purposes; a more homogeneous population may produce more significant results. While preliminary results indicate adaptation may contribute to better complex task performance, follow-on research may proceed using traditional and newly validated measures with the number of subjects necessary to provide statistical confidence.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/11/02/2016 Supplement VL - 181 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 65 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: Service members with traumatic amputations may be at an increased risk of elevated core body temperature, since their ability to dissipate heat may decrease with the reduction in body surface area (BSA) after injury. Elevated core temperature can impair physical performance during combat operations potentially putting the service members and their teams at risk. The purpose of this study was to compare core temperature between individuals with and without amputations during a prolonged endurance event. Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male military service members (10 with amputations, 10 without) participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March 26.2-mile event on March 27, 2011. Data collected include BSA, body mass index, body composition, body weight before and after the event, core temperature during the event, and postevent hydration status. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body weight was measured by digital scale. Core temperature was measured by ingestible sensor. Hydration was measured by urine specific gravity. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved this study and participants provided written informed consent. Results: Three participants’ data were not included in the analyses. No significant differences in core temperature were found between participants in both groups, and no correlation was found between core temperature and either BSA or hydration status. There was no significant difference in maximal core temperature between the groups ( p = 0.27) Nearly all participants (8 control, 6 amputation) reached 38.3°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat exhaustion. No subjects reached 40.0°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat stroke. Time spent above the 38.3°C threshold was not significantly different between groups, but varied widely by participant in relation to the duration of the event. Participants without amputations finished the event faster than participants with amputations (7.9 ± 1.4 vs. 9.6 ± 0.96, p < 0.01), possibly indicating that participants with amputations self-selected a slower pace to attenuate increased core temperature. Conclusion: Until conclusive evidence is accumulated, it is prudent for military leaders, trainers, and military service members to closely monitor this population during physical activity to prevent heat injuries.

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted utilizing prospective interviews with standard survey instruments. Primary outcome measures were the Stoma Quality of Life Scale and Veterans RAND 36 scores and subjective responses. Patients with colorectal trauma not requiring ostomy served as controls.Results: Of 177 available patients, 90 (50.8%) male veterans consented to participate (55 ostomy, 35 control). No significant differences were observed between ostomy and control groups for Injury Severity Score (25.6 ± 9.9 vs. 22.9 ± 11.8, p = 0.26) or mechanism of injury (blast: 55 vs. 52%, p = 0.75); nonostomates had fewer anorectal injuries (3.2 vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). Median follow-up was 6.7 years. Veterans RAND-36 Physical and Mental Component Scores were similar between groups. About 45.8% of ostomates were willing-to-trade a median of 10 years (interquartile range = 5-15) of their remaining life for gastrointestinal continuity. At last follow-up, 95.9% of respondents' combat-related ostomies were reversed with a median duration of 6 (range = 3-19) months diverted.Conclusions: Ostomy creation in a combat environment remains safe and does not have a quantifiable impact on long-term quality of life.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 181 IS - 11 M3 - journal article SP - e1637 EP - e1643 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Reorganization of the Army and critical assessment of Army Graduate Medical Education programs prompted the Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) Consultant to the Army Surgeon General to initiate a review of current Army OEM residency training. Available information indicated the Army OEM residency at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, was the first and longest operating Army OEM residency. Describing this residency was identified as the first step in the review, with the objectives of determining why the residency was started and sustained and its relevance to the needs of the Army.Methods: Records possibly related to the residency were reviewed, starting with 1954 since certification of physicians as Occupation Medicine specialists began in 1955. Interviews were conducted with selected physicians who had strong affiliations with the Army residency and the practice of Army OEM.Findings: The Army OEM residency began in 1960 and closed in 1996 with the transfer of Army OEM residency training to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD. Over 36 years, 47 uniformed residency graduates were identified; 44 were from the Army. Forty graduated between 1982 and 1996. The OEM residency was part of a dynamic cycle. Uniformed OEM leaders identified the knowledge and skills required of military OEM physicians and where these people should be stationed in the global Army. Rotations at military sites to acquire the needed knowledge and skills were integrated into the residency. Residency graduates were assigned to positions where they were needed. Having uniformed residents and preceptors facilitated the development of trust with military leaders and access to areas where OEM physician skills and knowledge could have a positive impact. Early reports indicated the residency was important in recruiting and retaining OEM physicians, with emphasis placed on supporting the Army industrial base. The late 1970s into the 1990s was a more dynamic period. There was heightened interest in environmental protection and restoration of military installations, and in the threats posed by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Additionally, President Reagan initiated a military buildup that brought new health risks to soldiers who would use and maintain modern equipment. Army OEM physicians were required to possess competencies in many areas, to include depots in the Army industrial base, occupational health for the soldier for exposures like carbon monoxide in armored vehicles, military unique exposures like those from chemical threat agents, and environmental medicine to assess health risks on contaminated U.S. military sites and from exposures of deployed forces. These offered interesting OEM training opportunities that challenged residents in the program and helped recruit new residents.Discussion: The strength of the first Army OEM residency was that it was part of a dynamic cycle that consisted of identifying and defining Army OEM needs, training physicians to meet those needs and assigning residency graduates to positions where they would have a positive impact. This paradigm can be used as the basis for contemporary assessments of the Army's need for uniformed OEM physicians and a uniformed OEM residency program.

The evidence is unclear on which management approaches are most effective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lumbar extensor high-intensity progressive resistance exercise (HIPRE) training versus control on improving lumbar extension muscular strength and core muscular endurance in soldiers.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with active duty U.S. Army Soldiers (n = 582) in combat medic training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Soldiers were randomized by platoon to receive the experimental intervention (lumbar extensor HIPRE training, n = 298) or control intervention (core stabilization exercise training, n = 284) at one set, one time per week, for 11 weeks. Lumbar extension muscular strength and core muscular endurance were assessed before and after the intervention period.Results: At 11-week follow-up, lumbar extension muscular strength was 9.7% greater (p = 0.001) for HIPRE compared with control. No improvements in core muscular endurance were observed for HIPRE or control.Conclusions: Lumbar extensor HIPRE training is effective to improve isometric lumbar extension muscular strength in U.S. Army Soldiers. Research is needed to explore the clinical relevance of these gains.

Some of the important health and fitness include physical activity and purposeful exercise, nutritional intake, sleep and rest behaviors, psychological outlook and mindfulness, and other physiologically based systemic challenges such as thermal exposure. These influences were considered in an integrated framework with insights contributed by each of five participating NATO member countries using representative research to highlight relevant interrelationships. Key conclusions are that (1) understanding the neurobiological bases and consequences of personal health behaviors is a priority for soldier performance research, and this also involves long-term brain health consequences to veterans and (2) health and fitness habits have been underappreciated as reliably effective performance enhancers and these should be preferred targets in the development of scientifically based recommendations for soldier brain health and performance.

Before deployment, participants completed performance testing and surveys and after deployment an additional survey detailing occupational demands and MSI. Data analyzed found 57/160 (36%) suffered 78 MSI. In unadjusted analyses, these factors increased the relative risk (RR, 95% confidence interval) of injury: wearing an average load >10% body weight (BW) (RR = 2.00, 1.31-4.57), wearing an average load >1 hour (RR = 2.44, 1.30-4.57), heaviest load worn >15% BW (RR = 5.83, 1.51-22.50), wearing a backpack (RR = 1.82, 1.23-2.80), wearing body armor >1 hour (RR = 1.62, 1.002-2.62), lifting objects weighing above 22.68 kg (RR = 1.96, 1.08-3.57), lifting objects one to two times (RR = 1.73, 1.002-2.97), carrying objects >7.62 m (RR = 2.01, 1.19-3.42), and Y Balance composite score <95.23 (RR = 1.71, 1.13-2.60). The best logistic regression model predicting MSI was average load as % BW (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04, 1.01-1.07), heaviest load as % BW (OR = 1.03, 1.01-1.05), average repetitions lifting objects (OR = 1.07, 1.01-1.14), and sit-ups (OR = 0.93, 0.93-0.99). Results indicate that risk of MSI in deployed female soldiers increased with heavier equipment worn and more repetitious lifting, although more performing more sit-ups on the fitness test before deployment reduced the risk.

A three stage least squares analysis of 1981 data shows that quit rates were negatively related to pay level and, even more so, to the size of the bonus offered. The effects on the quit rate were significantly greater, however, for soldiers in combat occupations than for those in noncombat occupations. The author speculates that the skills learned by combat soldiers are less marketable in the civilian labor market than the more general skills acquired by noncombat soldiers; he thus urges higher bonuses in noncombat occupations.

Participants were tested at the beginning of their training cycle and again six to nine months later. Task-related behaviors were primarily affected by changes in job relationships - sometimes moderated by leader experience - whereas person-related behaviors tended to be a function of individual leadership style, based on a Least-Preferred Coworker (LPC) score.

Based on the heuristic job-pairing technique and the decomposition strategy, a heuristic decomposition algorithm is developed which will generate at least a near-optimal schedule for the flow-shop scheduling problem. The proposed algorithm is compared to the existing decomposition approach and is found to be superior to Ashour's decomposition algorithm, both in increased solution quality and decreased computational time required to solve the problem.

To assess the robustness and breakdown energy tolerance of JFETs under pulsed conditions, they must be evaluated for breakdown energy capability before failure. This is very important for circuit breaker applications due to the large voltage spikes induced during the opening of the circuit breaker while it still conducts substantial load current. These voltage spikes can drive the JFET into the breakdown voltage regime and may result in device failure if the energy dissipation is above the tolerance limit. To determine the maximum avalanche energy of the device under repetitive pulsed conditions, a N-ON SiC JFET with a nominal rating of 1200 V/13 A was driven into punchthrough breakdown using an unclamped inductive switching (UIS) circuit. The testing comprised of 4000 repetitive pulses at 25 ^\circC case temperature at a fixed gate voltage of -20~V . The drain current was increased after every 1000 pulses to increase the energy dissipated. The JFET was able to withstand 1000 pulses at a maximum energy dissipation value of 1160 mJ before failure. The JFET triode breakdown characteristics were analyzed after every 1000 pulses. The peak UIS energy of 1160 mJ corresponded to an energy density of 16.6 J/cm^2 based on their active area.

In addition, the study examined whether differences across these outcomes exist between combat veterans (n = 239) and noncombat veterans (n = 242). Rates of mental health problems among soldiers on this noncombat deployment were lower than rates typically found among soldiers on combat deployments. Furthermore, soldiers without previous combat experience had lower rates of mental health problems and aggression than combat veterans. Similar differences were evident when adjustment difficulties and unit climate variables were compared. Although combat veterans could be valuable in training new soldiers, the results of this study indicate that combat veterans may need more targeted resources to facilitate their adjustment if they are to be optimally utilized.

Gaussian mixture source, and \({{\mathbf z}}\) is additive white Gaussian noise in parallel Gaussian channels. Typically, the \(\ell _{2}\) -norm error (squared error) is used to quantify the performance of the estimation process. In contrast, we consider the \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error (worst case error). For this error metric, we prove that, in an asymptotic setting where the signal dimension \(N\to \infty \) , the \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error always comes from the Gaussian component that has the largest variance, and the Wiener filter asymptotically achieves the optimal expected \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error. The i.i.d. Gaussian mixture case can be extended to i.i.d. Bernoulli-Gaussian distributions, which are often used to model sparse signals. Finally, our results can be extended to linear mixing systems with i.i.d. Gaussian mixture inputs, in settings where a linear mixing system can be decoupled to parallel Gaussian channels.

The authors examine one cohort of the military and its members’ perception of their own ideology in relation to their civilian counterparts using a 2009 survey of cadets at the United States Military Academy. The authors ascertain cadet perceptions of (1) cadet ideological leanings on individual and aggregate levels, (2) the ideological leanings of the civilian population, and (3) the civilian population’s assessment of the military’s ideological leanings. The authors attempt to discern whether or not this military subpopulation perceives itself as different from the rest of society. The authors find that while members of the Army’s future officer corps perceive themselves as more conservative than their civilian peers and society writ large, as a group they hold rather moderate political views.

It is one the arboviruses whose geographical range is expanding because of climate and land use changes that enhance the densities of mosquitoes and promote mosquito-bird-human interactions. We carried out a survey to determine the reservoirs of WNV among wild birds in Tana River and Garissa counties, Kenya.Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 361 randomly trapped wild birds. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), all samples were screened for WNV using gene specific primer sets amplifying a portion of the E region of the genome encoding the envelope protein.Results: Sixty five (65) out of 361 birds screened tested positive for WNV on real-time PCR assay. Sequencing of the selected positive samples reveals that the isolated WNV were most closely related to strains isolated from China (2011). A regression analysis indicated that sampling location influenced the occurrence of WNV while species, age, weight and sex of the birds did not have any effect.Conclusions: This study provides baseline information on the existing circulation of WNV in this region among wild bird reservoirs that could spill over to the human population and points to the need for implementation of surveillance programs to map the distribution of the virus among reservoirs. Awareness creation about West Nile fever in this region is important to improve its detection and management. SN - 1471-2334 AD - International Livestock Research Institute, P. O.

This study examined medical comorbidities and demographic variables as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP, spinal surgery, and time to surgery.Methods: A 2015 retrospective cohort study was conducted in U.S. Army soldiers (N=1,092,420) from 2002 to 2011. Soldiers with medical encounters for LBP were identified using ICD-9 codes. Surgical treatment for LBP was identified according to Current Procedural Terminology codes. Comorbid medical conditions (psychological disorders, sleep disorders, tobacco use, alcohol use, obesity) and demographic variables were examined as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP within 1 year of the incident encounter, surgery for LBP, and time to surgery.Results: Of 383,586 patients with incident LBP, 104,169 (27%) were treated for chronic/recurrent LBP and 7,446 (1.9%) had surgery. Comorbid variables showed increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP ranging from 26% to 52%. Tobacco use increased risk for surgery by 33% (risk ratio, 1.33; 95% CI=1.24, 1.44). Comorbid variables showed 10%-42% shorter time to surgery (psychological disorders, time ratio [TR]=0.90, 95% CI=0.83, 0.98; sleep disorders, TR=0.68, 95% CI=0.60, 0.78; obesity, TR=0.88, 95% CI=0.79, 0.98; tobacco use, TR=0.58, 95% CI=0.54, 0.63; alcohol use, TR=0.85, 95% CI=0.70, 1.05). Women showed 20% increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP than men but 42% less risk of surgery.Conclusions: In the presence of comorbidities associated with mental health, sleep, obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol use, LBP shows increased risk of becoming chronic/recurrent and faster time to surgery.

We examined changes in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) ovarian transcriptome following 4-day exposures conducted at three sites in Minnesota (MN, USA). Within each site, fish were exposed to water from three locations along a spatial gradient relative to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge. After exposure, site-specific impacts on gene expression in ovaries were assessed. Using an intragradient point of comparison, biological responses specifically associated with the WWTP effluent were identified using functional enrichment analyses. Fish exposed to water from locations downstream of the effluent discharges exhibited many transcriptomic responses in common with those exposed to the effluent, indicating that effects of the discharge do not fully dissipate downstream. Functional analyses showed a range of biological pathways impacted through effluent exposure at all three sites. Several of those impacted pathways at each site could be linked to potential adverse reproductive outcomes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in female fathead minnows, specifically signaling pathways associated with oocyte meiosis, TGF-beta signaling, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB), and gene sets associated with cyclin B-1 and metalloproteinase. The utility of this approach comes from the ability to identify biological responses to pollutant exposure, particularly those that can be tied to adverse outcomes at the population level and those that identify molecular targets for future studies.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2014/02/15/ VL - 122 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 635 EP - 649 SN - 01650009 AB - Global warming may result in substantial sea level rise and more intense hurricanes over the next century, leading to more severe coastal flooding. Here, observed climate and sea level trends over the last century (c. 1900s to 2000s) are used to provide insight regarding future coastal inundation trends. The actual impacts of Hurricane Katrina (2005) in New Orleans are compared with the impacts of a similar hypothetical hurricane occurring c. 1900. Estimated regional sea level rise since 1900 of 0.75 m, which contains a dominant land subsidence contribution (0.57 m), serves as a 'prototype' for future climate-change induced sea level rise in other regions. Landform conditions c. 1900 were estimated by changing frictional resistance based on expected additional wetlands at lower sea levels. Surge simulations suggest that flood elevations would have been 15 to 60 % lower c. 1900 than the conditions observed in 2005. This drastic change suggests that significantly more flood damage occurred in 2005 than would have occurred if sea level and climate conditions had been like those c. 1900. We further show that, in New Orleans, sea level rise dominates surge-induced flooding changes, not only by increasing mean sea level, but also by leading to decreased wetland area. Together, these effects enable larger surges. Projecting forward, future global sea level changes of the magnitude examined here are expected to lead to increased flooding in coastal regions, even if the storm climate is unchanged. Such flooding increases in densely populated areas would presumably lead to more widespread destruction.

Herein, comparisons were made between the counts provided by an ink jet aerosol generator (IJAG) with those measured by an APS. Near-monodisperse (geometric standard deviation of about 1.06) liquid or solid aerosols in the size range of 0.95 to 13.3 μm aerodynamic diameter (AD) generated with an IJAG were released into the inner inlet-tube of the APS in a manner that rendered APS wall and aspiration losses negligible. For most experiments, the IJAG generated 75 particles/s, which rate was maintained by the IJAG system through control of electrical pulses applied to its ink jet cartridge. For particles in the size range of 2–13.3 μm AD, the ratio of relative detection efficiency (ratio of the number of particles counted by the APS to the number reported as generated by the IJAG) was 99.3 ± 1.4%; however, for test particles between 0.95 and 2 μm AD, the relative detection efficiency was somewhat lower, but the drop off was less than about 2%. This slight drop off is likely associated with the light scattering detection approach and corresponding counting algorithm of the APS. Tests were conducted where the IJAG produced 7.0 μm AD particles at rates of 1 to 500 s-1and the results showed essentially a 1:1 correspondence between IJAG and APS counts. The presence of smaller-sized background particles did not affect the measured APS counts of larger-sized challenge particles.

This method is based on the measurement of range-resolved PM backscattering values with a micropulse light detection and ranging (LIDAR; MPL) device. Field measurements were completed during March 2010 at Tooele Army Depot, Utah, which is an arid continental site. PM10EFs were quantified for OB of M1 propellant and OD of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). EFs from this study are compared with previous OB/OD measurements reported in the literature that have been determined with point measurements either in enclosed or ambient environments, and with concurrent airborne point measurements. PM10mass EFs, determined with the hybrid-ORS method, were 7.8 × 10−3kg PM10/kg M1 from OB of M1 propellant, and 0.20 kg PM10/kg TNT from OD of TNT. Compared with previous results reported in the literature, the hybrid-ORS method EFs were 13% larger for OB and 174% larger for OD. Compared with the concurrent airborne measurements, EF values from the hybrid-ORS method were 37% larger for OB and 54% larger for OD. For TNT, no statistically significant differences were observed for the EFs measured during the detonation of 22.7 and 45.4 kg of TNT, supporting that the total amount of detonated mass in this mass range does not have an effect on the EFs for OD of TNT.

JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 83 M3 - Article SP - 36 EP - 48 SN - 03783839 AB - Abstract: Non-hydrostatic models such as Surface WAves till SHore (SWASH) resolve many of the relevant physics in coastal wave propagation such as dispersion, shoaling, refraction, dissipation and nonlinearity. However, for efficiency, they assume a single-valued surface and therefore do not resolve some aspects of breaking waves such as wave overturning, turbulence generation, and air entrainment. To study the ability of such models to represent nonlinear wave dynamics and statistics in a dissipative surf zone, we compare simulations with SWASH to flume observations of random, unidirectional waves, incident on a 1:30 planar beach. The experimental data includes a wide variation in the incident wave fields, so that model performance can be studied over a large range of wave conditions. Our results show that, without specific calibration, the model accurately predicts second-order bulk parameters such as wave height and period, the details of the spectral evolution, and higher-order statistics, such as skewness and asymmetry of the waves. Monte Carlo simulations show that the model can capture the principal features of the wave probability density function in the surf zone, and that the spectral distribution of dissipation in SWASH is proportional to the frequency squared, which is consistent with observations reported by earlier studies. These results show that relatively efficient non-hydrostatic models such as SWASH can be successfully used to parametrize surf zone wave processes.

To examine plant communities along spring watercourse-upland gradients, we sampled 12 springs at low (desert) and high (forest) elevations on the Desert National Wildlife Refuge in the Mojave and Great Basin Deserts in southern Nevada. In contrast to the commonly reported positive relationship between native and exotic species richness in sampling studies, we did not find strong correlations (r² < 0.05) between native and exotic richness at any distance from watercourses. Additionally, exotic species cover was lower nearest (0 and 2 m) watercourses than at uplands 20 m from watercourses, which also differs from the hypothesis that watercourses are more heavily invaded than uplands. Exotic species were more pervasive at low-elevation compared to high-elevation springs, but the proportion of total plant cover comprised by exotics was still small (0.03 - 0.06) at low-elevation springs. Species distributions and ordinations suggested that compositional watercourse-upland gradients were often readily detectable, but the composition of springs was individualistic. Some springs contained wetland species such as Juncus saximontanus, while other springs contained species of dry-site affinity. This study also illustrated challenges associated with estimating reference conditions for arid-land springs, as there are no known data prior to the development (i.e., modifying surface flow) of the springs and no known unmodified springs on this landscape.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2013/12/20/ VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 7 EP - 35 SN - 10515658 AB - Detailed field investigations and numerical modeling were conducted to evaluate transport and fate of chlorinated solvent contamination in a fractured sedimentary bedrock aquifer (sandstone/siltstone/mudstone) at a Superfund site in central New Jersey. Field investigations provided information on the fractured rock system hydrogeology, including hydraulic gradients, bulk hydraulic conductivity, fracture network, and rock matrix, and on depth discrete contaminant distribution in fractures (via groundwater sampling) and matrix (via detailed subsampling of continuous cores). The numerical modeling endeavor involved application of both an equivalent porous media (EPM) model for flow and a discrete fracture network (DFN) model for transport. This combination of complementary models, informed by appropriate field data, allowed a quantitative representation of the conceptual site model (CSM) to assess relative importance of various processes, and to examine efficacy of remedial alternatives. Modeling progressed in two stages: first a large-scale (20 km x 25 km domain) 3-D EPM flow model (MODFLOW) was used to evaluate the bulk groundwater flow system and contaminant transport pathways under historic and current aquifer stress conditions and current stresses. Then, results of the flow model informed a 2-D DFN transport model (FRACTRAN) to evaluate transport along a 1,000-m flowpath from the source represented as a 2-D vertical cross-section. The combined model results were used to interpret and estimate the current and potential future extent of rock matrix and aqueous-phase contaminant conditions and evaluate remedial strategies. Results of this study show strong effects of matrix diffusion and other processes on attenuating the plume such that future impacts on downgradient well fields under the hydraulic stresses modeled should be negligible. Results also showed futility of source remediation efforts in the fractured rock, and supported a technical impracticability (TI) waiver for the site. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

As a result, measurement techniques are needed to accurately quantify ENP size, mass, and particle number distributions in biological matrices. This work combines single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICPMS) with tissue extraction to quantify and characterize metallic ENPs in environmentally relevant biological tissues for the first time. ENPs were extracted from tissues via alkaline digestion using tetramethylarnmonium hydroxide (TMAH). Method development was performed using ground beef and was verified in Daphnia magna and Lumbriculus variegatus. ENPs investigated include 100 and 60 nm Au and Ag stabilized by polyvynylpyrrolidone (PVP). Mass- and number-based recovery of spiked Au and Ag ENPs was high (83-121%) from all tissues tested. Additional experiments suggested ENP mixtures (60 and 100 nm Ag ENPs) could be extracted and quantitatively analyzed. Biological exposures were also conducted to verify the applicability of the method for aquatic organisms. Size distributions and particle number concentrations were determined for ENPs extracted from D. magna exposed to 98 μg/L 100 nm Au and 4.8 μg/L 100 nm Ag ENPs. The D. magna nanoparticulate body burden for Au ENP uptake was 613 ± 230 μg/kgww, while the measured nanoparticulate body burden for D. magna exposed to Ag ENPs was 59 ± 52 μg/kgww Notably, the particle size distributions determined from D. magna tissues suggested minimal shifts in the size distributions of ENPs accumulated, as compared to die exposure media.

The objective of this greenhouse study was to expose plants to various flooding and aqueous nitrogen (N) concentrations and then to quantify the allocation of nutrients and biomass to plant components. Plants in the continuously flooded treatment (CF) had the highest tissue concentrations of copper (Cu), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), potassium (K), sodium (Na), and manganese (Mn) in one or more plant components. Plants in the partially flooded treatment (PF) had the highest concentrations of magnesium (Mg) in leaves. The N input affected phosphorus (P) and S concentrations in roots. Leaf, stem, and root biomass were highest in PF plants. Rhizome biomass was the lowest in CF plants. These results indicate thatL. oryzoidesmay significantly affect elemental concentrations in surface waters by its ability to uptake various elements and subsequent sequestration in various biomass components.

Riverine stands ( n = 225) were sampled in four MLRA regions of the Southeastern U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Physiographic Provinces. Composition data were analyzed using Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling and Multiple-Response Permutation Procedures to evaluate differences among HGM subclasses and MLRA regions. Analyses showed that canopy composition differed among three a priori subclasses related to Strahler stream order: headwater complex (along 1st-3rd order streams), mid-gradient floodplain (4th-6th order), and low-gradient floodplain (> 6th order). Further, composition also differed by MLRA region within each subclass. Thus, not only was species composition related to riverine hydrogeomorphology across a wide physiographic area, but differences in composition within HGM subclasses were also related to sub-region. These data could be useful in defining floristic reference standards when evaluating floodplain condition in southeastern USA Coastal Plain stream networks.

We describe the application of a modelling cascade in a well researched study catchment through connecting stateof- the-art public domain models in ArcGIS. Three models are used consecutively: (1) the hydrological model SWAT to evaluate water balances, sediment input from fields and tile drains as a function of catchment characteristics; (2) the onedimensional hydraulic model HEC-RAS to depict channel erosion and sedimentation along a 9 km channel onedimensionally; and (3) the two-dimensional hydraulic model AdH for simulating detailed substrate changes in a 230 m long reach section over the course of one year. Model performance for the water fluxes is very good, sediment fluxes and substrate changes are simulated with good agreement to observed data. Improvement of tile drain sediment load, simulation of different substrate deposition events and carrying out data sensitivity tests are suggested as future work. Main advantages that can be deduced from this study are separate representation of field, drain and bank erosion processes; shown adaptability to lowland catchments and transferability to other catchments; usability of the model's output for habitat assessments.

The capacitance and contact voltage of thin-film, PZT-based relays were measured following incremental ^60Co TID irradiations. The devices were held in several different bias conditions, during exposure. The direction of the biasing electric field during exposure, along with the polarization prior to exposure, has a measurable impact on post-irradiation operating voltage of the relay. In all cases, the switching voltage, as obtained via the peak values in a capacitance versus voltage sweep, shifted in a direction that would minimize the switching electric field in the direction of pre-exposure polarization. These effects were observed to be both significantly greater than the shifts experienced by a set of control samples, as well as reversible via aging at room temperature. The devices display remarkable robustness, operating during active TID exposure [dose rate = 855.6 rad(Si)/s], failing at a TID greater than 15 Mrad(Si).

JO - American Journal of Science JF - American Journal of Science Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 313 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 967 EP - 995 SN - 00029599 AB - Blueschist-facies metamorphism, which is associated with high pressure and low temperature subduction zone metamorphism, is usually recognized by the presence of the sodic-amphibole glaucophane. Determining the upper- and lower- pressure stability of end-member glaucophane places important constraints on the conditions of blueschist metamorphism. An experimental investigation into the upper-pressure stability of glaucophane has been done in the system Na2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O over the range of 600 to 750 °C and 2.5 to 4.5 GPa. Mixtures of synthetic glaucophane, jadeite, and talc were used to determine the location of the reaction boundary glaucophane = 2 jadeite + talc by reversing the sense of reaction direction. The upper-pressure stability of glaucophane is located over a pressure interval (0.2-0.3 GPa in width) whose midpoints lie at 2.6 GPa at 600 °C and at 3.1 GPa at 700 °C, across which the proportion of glaucophane decreases to zero as talc and jadeite increase. This band has a positive dP/dT slope of around 0.005 GPa/°C. Glaucophane showed the largest change in composition, consistent with the incorporation of significant amounts of the nyböite (17-34 mol%) and cummingtonite (10-18 mol%) components. Talc showed minor, but definite incorporation of Na (0.08 atoms per formula unit, apfu) and Al (0.15 apfu) consistent with incorporation of the components aspidolite and tschermak-talc. Jadeite displayed no clear change from its ideal composition. The results from this study were combined with the lower-pressure stability of glaucophane + quartz reported earlier by Corona and Jenkins (2007) to refine the thermodynamic values for glaucophane (ΔfH° = -11,956.36 kj/mol), report an initial set of values for the amphibole nyböite (ΔfH° = -12,165.85 kj/mol) and phyllosilicate aspidolite (ΔfH° = -6163.86 kj/mol), and to develop activity-composition relationships for both the amphibole and talc in this chemical system. The results of this study place an upper-pressure limit to a key index mineral of the blueschist-facies at about 3.2 GPa at 700 °C, which is just above the quartz-coesite transition, allowing nearly end-member glaucophane to remain stable up to the conditions of ultra-high-pressure metamorphism.

JO - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science JF - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science Y1 - 2013/11/20/ VL - 133 M3 - Article SP - 251 EP - 259 SN - 02727714 AB - Abstract: Winter flounder habitat use in New York/New Jersey Harbor was examined through a long-term (2002–2010) bottom trawl sampling program (Aquatic Biological Survey) in which 5234 winter flounder were captured in 2069 samples collected at approximately 26 stations throughout the harbor. Interannual variability in catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) primarily was attributable to fluctuations in Year-1 juvenile CPUE, which was positively correlated with total annual egg abundances from the previous year. Adult male CPUE during the spawning season was positively correlated with total egg abundances of the same year, whereas adult female CPUE was unrelated to annual egg abundances in the harbor. Annual variation in adult male densities in the harbor during the spawning season reflects the intensity of estuarine spawning activity, whereas adult female densities may include non-reproductive, foraging individuals. Seasonal fluctuations in condition indices reflected energy use during the spawning season, with relatively high condition in January, reduced levels in March and April, and elevated condition again in May. Adult CPUE peaked in April, coincident with the critical feeding period that follows spawning. Mean April water temperatures were positively correlated with egg abundances the following year and Year-1 juvenile CPUE two years later. A similar correlation between April temperatures and Year-1 juvenile abundances two years later was demonstrated using published data for winter flounder collected in Niantic Bay, CT. Higher April water temperatures may enhance benthic secondary production during the critical feeding period, and thus increase prey availability for foraging adults that need to restore energy reserves in order to reproduce the following year. A direct examination of benthic secondary production and variation in winter flounder estuarine foraging and subsequent spawning activity is needed to more fully understand this relationship.

However, it is not always clear whether there are only two alternatives (migration or residency) or a continuum of movement patterns. For example, Coho SalmonOncorhynchus kisutchare anadromous, and most individuals rear over the continental shelf or in offshore waters of the North Pacific Ocean; however, some Coho Salmon (known as residents) spend all or part of their marine lives within Puget Sound. The movements of residents are poorly documented, and it is unclear whether they ever leave Puget Sound and move to the coast of Washington and to what extent they move within Puget Sound. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to investigate the patterns of movement by immature Coho Salmon in Puget Sound at a series of spatial scales. We tagged 45 resident Coho Salmon in the central basin of Puget Sound with acoustic transmitters and detected their movements with fixed receivers in the Salish Sea. Seven individuals were detected as departing Puget Sound through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but these fish did not differ in body size, origin (wild or hatchery), or tagging date from fish that remained in Puget Sound. The fish remaining as residents seldom moved between the marine basins of Puget Sound. Within the central basin, deeper/offshore sites had higher frequencies of detection and other indices of site use. Fish were more often present and moved more often at shallow sites close to shore during the night, whereas they were more often present and moved more at deep, offshore sites during the day. We suggest that rather than being a discrete behavior, residence in Puget Sound by Coho Salmon is part of a continuum of migratory behavior patterns.

In this work, we quantified the factors (pH; low rate; use of oxidants such as bleach, H2O2, and O3; initial Mn(II) concentrations; and two types of geologic media) affecting MnOx(s) coatings onto Ottawa and aquifer sand using batch and column experiments. he batch experiments consisted of manual and automated titration, and the column experiments mimicked natural MnOx(s) adsorption and oxidation cycles as a strategy for in situ adsorption. A Pb solution of 50 mg L-1 was passed through MnOx(s)--coated sand at a low rate of 4 mL min-1 to determine its adsorption capacity. Batch experimental results showed that MnOx(s) coatings increased from pH 6 to 8, with maximum MnOx(s) coating occurring at pH 8. Regarding MnOx(s) coatings, bleach and O3 were highly effective compared with H2O2. he Ottawa sand had approximately twice the MnOx(s) coating of aquifer sand. he sequential increase in initial Mn(II) concentrations on both sands resulted in incremental buildup of MnOx(s). he automated procedure enhanced MnOx(s) coatings by 3.5 times compared with manual batch experiments. Column results showed that MnOx(s) coatings were highly dependent on initial Mn(II) and oxidant concentrations, pH, low rate, number of cycles (h), and the type of geologic media used. Manganese oxide coating exceeded 1700 mg kg-1 for Ottawa sand and 130 mg kg-1 for aquifer sand. he Pb adsorption exceeded 2200 mg kg-1 for the Ottawa sand and 300 mg kg -1 for the aquifer sand.

The usual practice is to select a purely empirical estimate of particle diameter marking the transition between the two behaviors. Based on available data on particle erosion and deposition in non-oscillating flows and viscoplastic properties of bed sediment, we have attempted to examine the likelihood of identifying the transition diameter within a less empirical framework. From the relationship between diameter and bed shear stress for a variety of cohesive and cohesionless sediments, it appears that two transition diameters can be defined. One is the largest diameter of clay mineral particles at which cohesion is considered to vanish. The other is the smallest diameter at which cohesionless behavior is assumed to end at the limit of the well-known Shields' relationship extended to very fine particles. These two diameters appear to be reasonably close for mainly inorganic mineral sediments. Assuming they are equal, six zones of bed exchange are identified in terms of diameter and bed shear stress. Depending on these two variables, zones of only erosion, no erosion or deposition, and only deposition can be designated. Realistic modeling of bed exchange of multi-size sediments requires that the full range of diameters be considered. Extension of this analysis to organic-rich sediments is pending better understanding of their rheological properties.

At The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River, we studied various operational configurations of sluiceway weirs to maximize sluiceway passage of juvenile Pacific salmonOncorhynchusspp. and steelheadO. mykiss. We applied hydroacoustic methods to compare fish passage rates and sluiceway efficiencies for two weir configurations in each year: three weirs (SL 1; i.e., collectively referring to the three weirs above main turbine unit [MU] 1) versus six weirs (SL 1+18) during 2004; and middle (SL 2+5) versus east (SL 2+19) powerhouse weir locations during 2005. Horizontal distributions at the sluiceway and turbines and the effects of operating turbines beneath open sluiceway gates were also analyzed. Sluiceway passage efficiency relative to the powerhouse (SLYphs) varied between study years, between spring and summer, and between day and night. In 2004, sluiceway passage rates were significantly higher (P= 0.0003) for SL 1+18 than for SL 1 during summer–night but were not significantly different between the two configurations during the other three season–day/night periods. The SLYphswas significantly higher for SL 1+18 than for SL 1. The location comparison during 2005 revealed no significant differences between the SL 2+5 and SL 2+19 configurations, except for summer–day. The experimental findings led to recommendations for long-term operations of The Dalles Dam sluiceway: open six rather than three sluiceway weirs to take advantage of the maximum hydraulic capacity of the sluiceway; open the three weirs above the westernmost operating MU and the three weirs at SL 8, where turbine passage rates are relatively high; operate the MUs below open sluiceway weirs as a standard procedure; operate the sluiceway 24 h/d year-round to maximize its benefits to juvenile salmonids; and use the same weir configuration year-round. These operational concepts are transferable to dams where sluiceway surface flow outlets are used to protect downstream-migrating fishes.

Each year, the sluiceway at The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River, USA, is normally operated between 1 April and 30 November and the spillway between 10 April and 31 August to enable downstream-migrating juvenile Pacific salmonids to pass. The only route available for fishes to pass the dam between 1 December and 31 March is through the turbines. This study evaluated downstream passage of adult steelheadOncorhynchus mykissat The Dalles Dam during various periods between 1 November and 10 April for years 2008 through 2010. The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy of operating the sluiceway between 1 December and 31 March to provide a relatively safe, nonturbine, surface outlet for downstream passage of adult steelhead that overwinter in the lower Columbia River (i.e., fallbacks) or for adult steelhead attempting to emigrate back to the marine environment after spawning (i.e., kelts). We applied a fixed-location hydroacoustic technique to estimate downstream passage rates at the sluiceway and turbines. The sluiceway was used by 91–99% of the adult steelhead during all sampling periods; the remaining 1–9% passed through the turbines. This implies that adult steelhead preferred the sluiceway for downstream passage at the dam. Our results indicate that keeping the sluiceway open between 1 December and 31 March may provide an optimal, nonturbine surface route for downstream passage of overwintering or postspawned adult steelhead at The Dalles Dam. Similar operations are relevant at hydroelectric dams with surface-flow outlets, such as sluiceways, for safe downstream passage of fish species of management concern.

JO - Ocean Engineering JF - Ocean Engineering Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 71 M3 - Article SP - 66 EP - 73 SN - 00298018 AB - Abstract: The real impact of sea level rise (SLR) on coastal and ocean engineering infrastructures is anticipated to be significant. The associated huge costs of coastal flooding and lasting socio-economic crisis would require planners, decision-makers and engineers to use effectively all available knowledge and data to optimize flood defense protection systems. In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian approach that integrates knowledge from previous performance history of structures (data, models and analysis) with more recent information from the simulations performed using the latest data, methods and modeling technology. These two sets of knowledge and information on past and present status of system contain various uncertainties and errors introduced by different input sources and analysis methods. We employ the concept of global uncertainty to quantify the total uncertainty affecting the design, functionality and maintenance of coastal flood defense systems in order to reduce damages resulting from the SLR and other extreme water level changes (e.g., storm surges by hurricanes, increased precipitation and ice melting). Our objective in this paper is to show coastal engineers how to use the prior knowledge with the most current information to improve the safety of flood defense systems. We demonstrate the proposed method in an example for the failure analysis of the 17th Street Flood Wall in New Orleans, where we estimate uncertainties that affected the design of the I-wall. We provide a methodology that integrates the contribution of SLR with all other available prior information to determine uncertainty levels for failure analysis of the flood defenses. Various uncertainties are present in engineering practice, explicit or implicit, and quantification of these is essential to safety and efficacy of coastal flood protection systems.

One emerging approach for inactivation of vegetative B. anthracis is the use of bacteriophage endolysins or lytic enzymes encoded by bacterial genomes (autolysins) with highly evolved specificity toward bacterium-specific peptidogly- can cell walls. In this work, we performed in silico analysis of the genome of Bacillus anthracis strain Ames, using a consensus binding domain amino acid sequence as a probe, and identified a novel lytic enzyme that we termed AmiBA2446. This enzyme exists as a homodimer, as determined by size exclusion studies. It possesses N-acetylmurainoyl-L-alanine amidase activity, as determined from liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of muropeptides released due to the enzymatic digestion of peptidoglycan. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that AmiBA2446 was an autolysin of bacterial origin. We characterized the effects of enzyme concentration and phase of bacterial growth on bactericidal activity and observed close to a 5-log reduction in the viability of cells of Bacillus cereus 4342, a surrogate for B. anthracis. We further tested the bactericidal activity of AmiBA2446 against various Bacillus species and demonstrated significant activity against B. anthracis and B. cereus strains. We also demonstrated activity against B. anthracis spores after pretreatment with germinants. AmiBA2446 enzyme was also stable in solution, retaining its activity after 4 months of storage at room temperature.

The first algorithm aims at assessing the errors simultaneously with the mean field reconstruction. The second algorithm uses the results of the first algorithm to identify the ray paths corrupted by the systematic errors and then estimates these errors more accurately. Numerical simulations show that the first algorithm can improve the reconstruction when relatively small systematic errors are present in all paths. The second algorithm significantly improves the reconstruction when systematic errors are present in a few, but not all, ray paths. The developed algorithms were applied to experimental data obtained at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory.

DN is an invasive procedure that involves insertion of a thin monofilament needle directly into a muscle trigger point (MTP) with the intent of stimulating a local twitch response. Current evidence is somewhat limited, but recent literature supports the use of this intervention in specific neuromusculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of this case report is to present the outcomes of DN as a primary treatment intervention in an adolescent subject with subacute posterior knee pain. CASE DESCRIPTION: The subject was a 16-year-old female competitive ballet dancer referred to physical therapy with a two month history of right posterior knee pain. Palpation identified MTPs which reproduced the patient's primary symptoms. In addition to an exercise program promoting lower extremity flexibility and hip stability, the subject was treated with DN to the right gastrocnemius, soleus, and popliteus muscles. OUTCOMES: The subject reported being pain free on the Numerical Pain Scale and a +7 improvement in perceived change in recovery on the Global Rating of Change at final follow-up. Physical examination demonstrated no observed impairments or functional limitations, including normal mobility, full strength, and unrestricted execution of dance maneuvers. DISCUSSION: The patient was able to return to high level dance training and competition without physical limitations and resumed pre-injury dynamic movement activities including dancing, running, jumping, and pivoting without pain. DN can be an effective and efficient intervention to assist patients in decreasing pain and returning to high intensity physical activity. Additional research is needed to determine if DN is effective for other body regions and has long-term positive outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.

The report, which proposes the extension of the wage plan, does not consider guaranteed wages as a solution to unemployment. The report also recommends that a maximum work week be established through collective bargaining. Included in the discussion was the relationship of guaranteed wages to unemployment compensation. In concluding this aspect of the report, it was said that the adoption of wage plans would be ineffective in case of the adoption of supplementation.

Direction sources influence navigation decisions during spatial uncertainty. JO - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology JF - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 68 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 585 EP - 607 SN - 17470218 AB - Previous research on route directions largely considers the case when a knowledgeable route-giver conveys accurate information. In the real world, however, route information is sometimes inaccurate, and directions can lead navigators astray. We explored how participants respond to route directions containing ambiguities between landmarks and turn directions, forcing reliance on one or the other. In three experiments, participants read route directions (e.g.,To get to the metro station, take a right at the pharmacy) and then selected from destinations on a map. Critically, in half of the trials the landmark (pharmacy) and turn (right) directions were conflicting, such that the participant had to make a decision under conditions of uncertainty; under these conditions, we measured whether participants preferentially relied upon landmark- versus direction-based strategies. Across the three experiments, participants were either provided no information regarding the source of directions (Experiment 1), or told that the source of directions was a GPS device (Experiment 2), or a human (Experiment 3). Without information regarding the source of directions, participants generally relied on landmarks or turn information under conditions of ambiguity; in contrast, with a GPS source participants relied primarily on turn information, and with a human source on landmark information. Results were robust across gender and individual differences in spatial preference. We discuss these results within the context of spatial decision-making theory and consider implications for the design and development of landmark-inclusive navigation systems.

However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives-decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)-and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between 'stayers' and 'leavers' after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing.

The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 50 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 55 SN - 01636804 AB - Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming prevalent in tactical networks as they are proving to be an extremely flexible platform for a variety of applications. Increasingly, UAVs need to cooperate with each other in order to perform complex tasks such as target monitoring and prosecution, information gathering and processing, and delivery between disconnected portions of the network. However, UAV cooperation in tactical scenarios represents a major challenge from both the coordination and communication perspectives. In fact, cooperating UAVs must achieve a high degree of coordination in order to accomplish complex tasks in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In turn, as UAVs interact with other entities, the effective coordination of multiple-UAV operations requires specific support in terms of efficient communication protocols and mechanisms exploiting UAVs as mobile assets that facilitate and hasten critical information flows. This article presents a series of considerations and lessons learned that we have collected in our experience with multiple- UAV coordination and communications in tactical edge networks, and discusses some of the main components of a middleware we specifically designed to support multiple-UAV operations.

Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory, research, and practice.

Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed.

The 2005 Medicare prosthetic device component prices were applied to current prosthetic and assistive-device use obtained from a national survey of 581 veterans and servicemembers with major traumatic amputations. Projections were made for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and lifetime costs based on eight Markov models. Average 5-year projected costs for prosthetic and assistive-device replacement for the Vietnam group are lower than for the OIF/OEF cohort due in part to use of fewer and less technologically advanced prosthetic devices and higher frequency of prosthetic abandonment. By limb-loss level, for the Vietnam group and OIF/OEF cohort, 5-year projected unilateral upper limb average costs are $31,129 and $117,440, unilateral lower limb costs are $82,251 and $228,665, and multiple limb costs are $130,890 and $453,696, respectively. These figures provide the VA with a funding estimate for technologically advanced prosthetic and assistive devices within the framework of ongoing rehabilitation for veterans with traumatic limb loss from the Vietnam and OIF/OEF conflicts.

The goal for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) servicemembers is to restore function to the greatest possible degree and, if they desire, return them to Active Duty, by providing them with extensive rehabilitation services and a variety of prosthetic devices. Our study determines the usefulness of these diverse types of prosthetic devices for restoring functional capability and documents prosthesis use and satisfaction. We compare servicemembers and veterans with major combat-associated unilateral lower-limb loss: 178 from the Vietnam war and 172 from OIF/OEF conflicts. Of survey participants with unilateral lower-limb loss, 84% of the Vietnam group and 94% of the OIF/OEF group currently use at least one prosthetic device. Reasons for rejection varied by type of device, but common reasons were pain, prosthesis too heavy, and poor fit. Abandonment is infrequent (11% Vietnam group, 4% OIF/OEF group). Future efforts should aim to improve prosthetic-device design, decrease pain, and improve quality of life for these veterans and servicemembers.

Through a national survey, we enrolled 47 participants from the Vietnam conflict and 50 from Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with combat-associated major unilateral upper-limb loss. Upper-limb prosthetic devices were used by 70% of the Vietnam group and 76% of the OIF/OEF group. Mechanical/body-powered upper-limb devices were favored by the Vietnam group, while a combination of myoelectric/hybrid and mechanical/ body-powered devices were favored by the OIF/OEF group. Upper-limb devices were completely abandoned in 30% of the Vietnam and 22% of the OIF/OEF groups. Abandonment was more frequent for transhumeral and more proximal levels (42% of Vietnam and 40% of OIF/OEF) than more distal limb-loss levels. Upper-limb prostheses were rejected because of dissatisfaction with the device by significantly fewer (23%) members of the Vietnam group than the OIF/OEF group (45%) (p < 0.001). Most common reasons for rejection included pain, poor comfort, and lack of functionality. A significant paradigm shift has been noted in the OIF/OEF group, who use a greater number and diversity of upper-limb prostheses than the Vietnam group.

MARS was administered to 1169 incoming freshmen (203 women) who consented to participate within the first week of matriculation. All subjects were deemed healthy and medically fit for military service on admission. Subjects also completed a baseline questionnaire that asked for basic demographic information and injury history. We calculated means with standard deviations, medians with interquartile ranges, and percentiles for ordinal and continuous variables, and frequencies and proportions for dichotomous variables. We also compared median scores by sex and history of knee ligament injury using the Kruskal-Wallis test. MARS was the primary outcome of interest.Results: The median MARS score was significantly higher for men when compared with women (χ(2) = 13.22, df = 1, P < 0.001) with no prior history of knee ligament injury. In contrast, there was no significant difference in median MARS scores between men and women (χ(2) = 0.47, df = 1, P = 0.493) who reported a history of injury. Overall, median MARS scores were significantly higher among those who reported a history of knee ligament injury when compared with those who did not (χ(2) = 9.06, df = 1, P = 0.003).Conclusion: Assessing activity as a patient-reported outcome after knee ligament injury is important, and reference values for these instruments need to account for the influence of prior injury and sex.

Although ≈80% of American women report using hormonal contraceptives sometime during their life, the influence of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) on MSNA and systemic hemodynamics remains equivocal. The goal of this study was to determine whether women taking OCs have altered MSNA and hemodynamics (cardiac output and total peripheral resistance) at rest during the placebo phase of OC use compared with women with natural menstrual cycles during the early follicular phase. We retrospectively analyzed data from studies in which healthy, premenopausal women (aged 18–35 years) participated. We collected MSNA values at rest and hemodynamic measurements in women taking OCs (n=53; 25±4 years) and women with natural menstrual cycles (n=74; 25±4 years). Blood pressure was higher in women taking OCs versus those with natural menstrual cycles (mean arterial pressure, 89±1 versus 85±1 mm Hg, respectively; P=0.01), although MSNA was similar in both groups (MSNA burst incidence, 16±1 versus 18±1 bursts/100 heartbeats, respectively; P=0.19). In a subset of women in which detailed hemodynamic data were available, those taking OCs (n=33) had similar cardiac output (4.9±0.2 versus 4.7±0.2 L/min, respectively; P=0.47) and total peripheral resistance (19.2±0.8 versus 20.0±0.9 U, respectively; P=0.51) as women with natural menstrual cycles (n=22). In conclusion, women taking OCs have higher resting blood pressure and similar MSNA and hemodynamics during the placebo phase of OC use when compared with naturally menstruating women in the early follicular phase.

Number of References: many ref. Subject Subsets: Leisure, Recreation, Tourism N2 - Objectives: Some current neurocognitive models suggest that physical exertion selectively impairs performance of cognitive tasks demanding engagement of the prefrontal cortex. The present study tested this hypothesis by examining the effects of an acute bout of physical exertion on a prefrontal-dependent task demanding the effortful control of attention and emotion. Design: In a repeated-measures design, participants pedaled a recumbent bicycle ergometer at either a low or high work rate corresponding to percentages (25-35% or 75-85%) of maximum heart rate achieved during a peak exercise test. Method: TO challenge cognitive processes dependent on regions of the brain's prefrontal cortex, participants performed a cognitive interference task that presented either neutral or emotionally distracting images embedded within a spatial working memory task. Results: Working memory decrements on trials with embedded negative versus neutral images; importantly, this effect was exacerbated in the high versus low work rate. This exercise-induced decrement did not maintain during cool-down or rest, and was predicted by participant fitness levels. By comparison, a relatively low-level perceptuo-motor reaction time task showed faster performance during the high versus low work rate. Conclusions: Acute bouts of submaximal exercise induce transient states of reduced effortful control of attention, resulting in heightened distractability to emotional stimuli. Results are discussed with regard to theories detailing dynamic interactions between brain networks mediating physical exertion and higher-level cognitive function.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases; Rural Development N2 - A four-year longitudinal cohort and geographic cluster study in rural Thailand was conducted to characterize the clinical spectrum of dengue virus (DENV) infection. Symptomatic DENV infections in the cohort were detected by active school absence-based surveillance that triggered cluster investigations around ill cohort children. Data from 189 cohort children with symptomatic DENV infection and 126 contact children in the clusters with DENV infection were analyzed. Of infected contacts, only 19% were asymptomatic; 81% were symptomatic, but only 65.9% reported fever. Symptom-based case definitions were unreliable for diagnosis. Symptomatic infections in contacts were milder with lower DENV RNA levels than the cohort. Infections in contacts with fever history were more likely to have detectable DENV RNA than infections without fever history. Mild infections identified by cluster investigations account for a major proportion of all DENV infections. These findings are relevant for disease burden assessments, transmission modeling, and determination of vaccine impact.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n=10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p=.10-0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca=0.30±0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41±0.53 µmol/L; Zn 1.11±0.80 µmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p<.05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 19 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: While posterior glenohumeral instability is becoming increasingly common among young athletes, little is known of the risk factors for injury. Purpose: To determine the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for posterior shoulder instability in a high-risk cohort. Study Design: Case-control study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A prospective cohort study in which 714 young athletes were followed from June 2006 through May 2010 was conducted. Baseline testing included a subjective history of instability, instability testing by a sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon, range of motion, strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer, and bilateral noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. A musculoskeletal radiologist measured glenoid version, height, depth, rotator interval (RI) height, RI width, RI area, and RI index. Participants were followed to document all acute posterior shoulder instability events during the 4-year follow-up period. The time to the posterior shoulder instability event during the follow-up period was the primary outcome of interest. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Complete data on 714 participants were obtained. During the 4-year surveillance period, 46 shoulders sustained documented glenohumeral instability events, of which only 7 were posterior in direction. The baseline factors that were associated with subsequent posterior instability during follow-up were increased glenoid retroversion (P<.0001), increased external rotation strength in adduction (P=.029) and at 45 of abduction (P=.015), and increased internal rotation strength in adduction (P=.038). Conclusion: This is the largest known prospective study to follow healthy participants in the development of posterior shoulder instability. Posterior instability represents 10% of all instability events. The most significant risk factor was increased glenoid retroversion. While increased internal/external strength was also associated with subsequent instability, it is unclear whether these strength differences are causative or reactive to the difference in glenoid anatomy. This work confirms that increased glenoid retroversion is a significant prospective risk factor for posterior instability.

N2 - Burkholderia mallei is an infectious intracellular pathogen whose virulence and resistance to antibiotics makes it a potential bioterrorism agent. Given its genetic origin as a commensal soil organism, it is equipped with an extensive and varied set of adapted mechanisms to cope with and modulate host-cell environments. One essential virulence mechanism constitutes the specialized secretion systems that are designed to penetrate host-cell membranes and insert pathogen proteins directly into the host cell's cytosol. However, the secretion systems' proteins and, in particular, their host targets are largely uncharacterized. Here, we used a combined in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approach to identify B. mallei proteins required for pathogenicity. We used bioinformatics tools, including orthology detection and ab initio predictions of secretion system proteins, as well as published experimental Burkholderia data to initially select a small number of proteins as putative virulence factors. We then used yeast two-hybrid assays against normalized whole human and whole murine proteome libraries to detect and identify interactions among each of these bacterial proteins and host proteins. Analysis of such interactions provided both verification of known virulence factors and identification of three new putative virulence proteins. We successfully created insertion mutants for each of these three proteins using the virulent B. mallei ATCC 23344 strain. We exposed BALB/c mice to mutant strains and the wild-type strain in an aerosol challenge model using lethal B. mallei doses. In each set of experiments, mice exposed to mutant strains survived for the 21-day duration of the experiment, whereas mice exposed to the wild-type strain rapidly died. Given their in vivo role in pathogenicity, and based on the yeast two-hybrid interaction data, these results point to the importance of these pathogen proteins in modulating host ubiquitination pathways, phagosomal escape, and actin-cytoskeleton rearrangement processes.

Note: Supplement: Efficacy and safety of protein supplement use by military and other physically active populations. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Leisure, Recreation, Tourism; Human Nutrition N2 - Protein supplements (PSs) are, after multivitamins, the most frequently consumed dietary supplement by U.S. military personnel. Warfighters believe that PSs will improve health, promote muscle strength, and enhance physical performance. The estimated prevalence of regular PS use by military personnel is nearly 20% or more in active-duty personnel, which is comparable to collegiate athletes and recreationally active adults, but higher than that for average U.S. civilians. Although the acute metabolic effects of PS ingestion are well described, little is known regarding the benefits of PS use by warfighters in response to the metabolic demands of military operations. When dietary protein intake approaches 1.5 g . kg-1 . d-1, and energy intake matches energy expenditure, the use of PSs by most physically active military personnel may not be necessary. However, dismounted infantry often perform operations consisting of long periods of strenuous physical activity coupled with inadequate dietary energy and protein intake. In these situations, the use of PSs may have efficacy for preserving fat-free mass. This article reviews the available literature regarding the prevalence of PS use among military personnel. Furthermore, it highlights the unique metabolic stressors affecting U.S. military personnel and discusses potential conditions during which protein supplementation might be beneficial.

Subject Subsets: Aromatic & Medicinal Plants N2 - Curcumin, a component of turmeric spice that imparts flavor and color to curry, is thought to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in biological tissues. However, while such efficacies have been described in the context of carcinogenesis, the impact of curcumin on normal cell cycle regulation is poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence of curcumin toxicity in proliferating bovine aortic endothelial cells, at concentrations relevant to the diet and below those previously reported in cancer models. Upon confirming curcumin's ability to upregulate hemeoxygenase-1 in a dose-dependent fashion, we found the minimally efficacious curcumin concentration to also inhibit endothelial cell DNA synthesis. Moreover, curcumin concentrations below the minimum 2 µM threshold required to induce hemeoxygenase-1 bound tubulin protein in vitro and triggered hallmark evidence of mitotic catastrophe in vivo. Concentrations as low as 0.1 µM curcumin led to disproportionate DNA segregation, karyorrhexis, and micronucleation in proliferating endothelial cells. While suggesting a mechanism by which physiological curcumin concentrations inhibit cell cycle progression, these findings describe heretofore unappreciated curcumin toxicity with potential implications for endothelial growth, development, and tissue healing.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The purpose of this work was to determine the effects of varying levels of dietary protein on body composition and muscle protein synthesis during energy deficit (ED). A randomized controlled trial of 39 adults assigned the subjects diets providing protein at 0.8 (recommended dietary allowance; RDA), 1.6 (2×-RDA), and 2.4 (3×-RDA) g kg-1 d-1 for 31 d. A 10-d weight-maintenance (WM) period was followed by a 21 d, 40% ED. Body composition and postabsorptive and postprandial muscle protein synthesis were assessed during WM (d 9-10) and ED (d 30-31). Volunteers lost (P<0.05) 3.2±0.2 kg body weight during ED regardless of dietary protein. The proportion of weight loss due to reductions in fat-free mass was lower (P<0.05) and the loss of fat mass was higher (P<0.05) in those receiving 2×-RDA and 3×-RDA compared to RDA. The anabolic muscle response to a protein-rich meal during ED was not different (P>0.05) from WM for 2×-RDA and 3×-RDA, but was lower during ED than WM for those consuming RDA levels of protein (energy × protein interaction, P<0.05). To assess muscle protein metabolic responses to varied protein intakes during ED, RDA served as the study control. In summary, we determined that consuming dietary protein at levels exceeding the RDA may protect fat-free mass during short-term weight loss.

Number of References: 13 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Venezuelan (VEEV), eastern, and western equine encephalitis viruses, members of the genus Alphavirus, are causative agents of debilitative and sometimes fatal encephalitis. Although human cases are rare, these viruses pose a threat to military personnel, and to public health, due to their potential use as bioweapons. Currently, there are no licensed therapeutics for treating alphavirus infections. To address this need, small-molecules with potential anti-alphavirus activity, provided by collaborators, are tested routinely in live alphavirus assays utilizing time-consuming virus yield-reduction assays. To expedite the screening/hit-confirmation process, a cell-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and validated for the measurement of VEEV infection. A signal-to-background ratio of >900, and a z-factor of >0.8 indicated the robustness of this assay. For validation, the cell-based ELISA was compared directly to results from virus yield reduction assays in a single dose screen of 21 compounds. Using stringent criteria for anti-VEEV activity there was 90% agreement between the two assays (compounds displaying either antiviral activity, or no effect, in both assays). A concurrent compound-induced cell toxicity assay effectively filtered out false-positive hits. The cell-based ELISA also reproduced successfully compound dose-response virus inhibition data observed using the virus yield reduction assay. With available antibodies, this assay can be adapted readily to other viruses of interest to the biodefense community. Additionally, it is cost-effective, rapid, and amenable to automation and scale-up. Therefore, this assay could expedite greatly screening efforts and the identification of effective anti-alphavirus inhibitors.

Poor iron status, including iron deficiency (ID; diminished iron stores) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA; poor iron stores and diminished hemoglobin), affects billions of people worldwide. This review focuses on physical and neuropsychological outcomes associated with ID and IDA in premenopausal women, as the prevalence of ID and IDA is often greater in premenopausal women than other population demographics. Recent studies addressing the physiological effects of poor iron status on physical performance, including work productivity, voluntary activity, and athletic performance, are addressed.

While the pattern itself is clear, there have been very few studies examining whether the magnitude or timing of seasonal mortality varies considerably across space. Thus, the goal of this study is to conduct a comprehensive geographic analysis of seasonal mortality across the United States and to uncover systematic regional differences in such mortality. Unique seasonal mortality curves were created for 28 metropolitan statistical areas across the United States, and the amplitude and timing of mortality peaks were determined. The findings here indicate that the seasonality of mortality exhibits strong spatial variation with the largest seasonal mortality amplitudes found in the southwestern United States and the smallest in the North, along with South Florida. In addition, there were strong intra-regional similarities that exist among the examined cities, implying that environmental factors are more important than social factors in determining seasonal mortality response. This work begins to fill a large gap within the scientific literature concerning the geographic variation and underlying causes of seasonal mortality across the United States.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - In the future, we may be faced with the need to provide treatment for an emergent biological threat against which existing vaccines and drugs have limited efficacy or availability. To prepare for this eventuality, our objective was to use a metabolic network-based approach to rapidly identify potential drug targets and prospectively screen and validate novel small-molecule antimicrobials. Our target organism was the fully virulent Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis Schu S4 strain, a highly infectious intracellular pathogen that is the causative agent of tularemia and is classified as a category A biological agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We proceeded with a staggered computational and experimental workflow that used a strain-specific metabolic network model, homology modeling and X-ray crystallography of protein targets, and ligand- and structure-based drug design. Selected compounds were subsequently filtered based on physiological-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and we selected a final set of 40 compounds for experimental validation of antimicrobial activity. We began screening these compounds in whole bacterial cell-based assays in biosafety level 3 facilities in the 20th week of the study and completed the screens within 12 weeks. Six compounds showed significant growth inhibition of F. tularensis, and we determined their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations and mammalian cell cytotoxicities. The most promising compound had a low molecular weight, was non-toxic, and abolished bacterial growth at 13 µM, with putative activity against pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A, encoded by gene coaD. The novel antimicrobial compounds identified in this study serve as starting points for lead optimization, animal testing, and drug development against tularemia. Our integrated in silico/in vitro approach had an overall 15% success rate in terms of active versus tested compounds over an elapsed time period of 32 weeks, from pathogen strain identification to selection and validation of novel antimicrobial compounds.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - We describe virus variations from patients with influenza-like illness before and after the appearance of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in Kenya during January 2008-July 2011. A total of 11,592 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from consenting patients. Seasonal influenza B, A/H1N1, A/H3N2, A/H5N1, and influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Of patients enrolled, 2073 (17.9%) had influenza. A total of 1,524 (73.4%) of 2,073 samples were positive for influenza A virus and 549 (26.6%) were positive for influenza B virus. Influenza B virus predominated in 2008 and seasonal A(H1N1) virus predominated in the first half of 2009. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus predominated in the second half of 2009. Influenza A/H3N2 virus predominated in 2010, and co-circulation of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus and influenza B virus predominated the first half of 2011.

Subject Subsets: World Agriculture, Economics & Rural Sociology; Agricultural Engineering; Biofuels N2 - Food waste diversion to enhance biogas production for energy generation in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is an emerging trend in the United States. Using an interested WWTP in Fort Collins, Colorado a study was completed to determine the efficacy and viability of implementing a food waste diversion program utilizing food waste as a feedstock in their existing anaerobic digesters to enhance biogas production. The results of the study concluded that a food waste diversion program would result in a loss of approximately $2.5 million over a 20 year period making the program unfeasible currently. However, the use of excess biogas produced in the plant's anaerobic digesters from the processing of the municipal solid waste stream (MSW) to fuel a reciprocating engine energy generation technology would result in an estimated return on investment of $1.63 million, and an estimated return on investment of $1.25 million for a microturbine energy generation technology over the same 20 year time period. Changes to multiple variables in the economic analysis such as higher energy costs and higher landfill tipping fees could result in a more positive outlook for a future food waste diversion program in Northern Colorado. This study can be used by other WWTPs in the US and other countries as a model to determine the initial economic feasibility of a food waste diversion program in their area. WWTPs in locations with greater costs associated with energy and tipping fees than those reported in this study may find a food waste diversion program economically viable and beneficial.

Number of References: 31 ref. Registry Number: 1406-16-2. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Low vitamin D status increases the risk of stress fractures. As ultraviolet (UV) light is required for vitamin D synthesis, low UV light availability is thought to increase the risk of vitamin D insufficiency and poor bone health. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if individuals with low UV intensity at their home of record (HOR) or those with darker complexions are at increased risk of developing stress fractures and lower limb fractures during U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center data repository. All Basic trainees were identified from January 1997 to January 2007. Cases were recruits diagnosed with stress fractures and lower limb fractures during BCT. The recruit's home of record (HOR) was identified from the Defense Manpower Data Center database. The average annual UV intensity at the recruits' HOR was determined using a U.S National Weather Service database and recruits were stratified into low (≤3.9); moderate (4.0-5.4), and high (≥5.5) UV index regions. Race was determined from self-reports. Results: The dataset had 421,461 men and 90,141women. Compared to men, women had greater risk of developing stress fractures (odds ratio (OR)=4.5, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=4.4-4.7, p<0.01). Contrary to the hypothesized effect, male and female recruits from low UV index areas had a slightly lower risk of stress fractures (male OR (low UV/high UV)=0.92, 95%CI=0.87-0.97; females OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.84-0.95, p<0.01) and were at similar risk for lower limb fractures (male OR=0.98, 95%CI=0.89-1.07; female OR=0.93, 95%CI=0.80-1.09) than recruits from high UV index areas. Blacks had lower risk of stress and lower limb fractures than non-blacks, and there was no indication that Blacks from low UV areas were at increased risk for bone injuries. Conclusions: The UV index at home of record is not associated with stress or lower limb fractures in BCT. These data suggest that UV intensity is not a risk factor for poor bone health in younger American adults.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - This report summarizes the results of a universal screening programme for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) conducted among all US soldiers who were in-processing to assignments in Korea during calendar year 2009. Males were initially screened upon request; however, the program was expanded in November 2008 to include screening for male soldiers. The programme was discontinued on 1 January 2010. During November 2007 to January 2010, a total of 17 735 soldiers were screened for CT infections; 17 546 had evaluable test results and 742 (4.2%) tested positive. The majority (71.0%) of testing was performed in 2009. Relative to their respective counterparts, CT infection prevalences were higher among women (5.8%), soldiers under 20 years of age (5.7%), black, non-Hispanic soldiers (7.0%), and enlisted members (4.2%). Prevalences among women less than 20 years of age and women 20-24 years old were 12.6% and 7.2%, respectively; prevalences among men in the comparable age groups were 3.9% and 4.7%.

Language: English. Registry Number: 9004-10-8, 61912-98-9. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Objective: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a key regulator of metabolism during altered energy states. The IGF-I system components respond to prolonged caloric restriction but it is not clear if this system responds similarly to acute caloric restriction. The purpose of this study was to characterize the IGF-I system response to acute caloric restriction with a secondary purpose of determining if two isocaloric diets with different ratios of carbohydrate to fat alter the IGF-I system under conditions of caloric balance. Materials/Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design was used in which 27 subjects underwent three, 48-h experimental treatments: (1) caloric restriction (2) carbohydrate and (3) carbohydrate/fat. Blood was sampled periodically (6 time points total) for IGF-I (total and free), IGFBPs1-4, insulin and glucose. ANOVAs were used with significance set at P<0.05. Results: Total IGF-I decreased 7% during CR (P=0.051) and remained stable during CHO and CHO/F. Free IGF-I decreased 43% during CR (P<0.05) and remained stable during CHO and CHO/F. IGFBP-1 increased by 445% during CR (P<0.05) compared to CHO and CHO/F with no changes for IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-4. There was no change in glucose or insulin during CR over the course of the study. Insulin and glucose increased (P<0.05) after a meal in both the CHO and CHO/F groups with no difference between these two groups. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that free IGF-I decreases and IGFBP-1 increases during caloric restriction, but they are not altered with diets differing in carbohydrate and fat content. Changes in free IGF-I and IGFBP-1 are sensitive to caloric restriction, and their measurement may be valuable in monitoring the physiological response to refeeding in those consuming suboptimal calories.

By defining different levels of Al Qaeda, core, periphery, and movement, this article engages current debates about the threat by focusing on the operational differences across these three levels. Contrary to conventional wisdom about operational efficiency, the social movement has a higher success rate but the core imposes greater costs as measured by casualties. The cells or networks actually executing the attacks also display substantive differences. The social movement networks organize in smaller cells than either affiliated groups or the core; however, they display greater levels of connectedness. The affiliated and organization cells display fewer connections, suggestive of more disciplined operational procedure despite lower success rates. These patterns reflect fundamental differences across characterizations of Al Qaeda, and have significant implications for counterterrorism efforts.

It notes that coordination by military entomologists with other health personnel is critical to the success of stability and counterinsurgency operations. Meanwhile it suggests that the contribution of military entomologists in counterinsurgency must always be balanced with and integrated into all other components of medical and civil-military operations.

A two-dimensional (2D) finite-element framework with explicit crack representation using cohesive-element methodologies is employed. The influence of microcracking is examined by taking the fracture toughness of the cohesive elements as a free parameter. The simulations suggest that an optimum fracture toughness exists for promoting shear localization. This value corresponds to the limiting mode I fracture toughness, below which microscopic material defects lead to brittle compressive failure, as opposed to shear localization. While in the presence of confinement, this value is shown to be close to zero; in the absence of confinement, it is computed to be 28% of the shear band toughness for the specific case of ultrafine-grained tungsten. More generally, it is found that the ratio of mode I fracture toughness to shear band toughness provides a crude indicator for predicting whether material defects are likely to lead to brittle failure or enhanced shear localization.

Based on past research and theory, we expected that both hardiness and grit would predict unique variance in performance and retention even after controlling for past performance as measured by the Whole Candidate Score. Results of regression analyses revealed that hardiness and grit predicted unique variance in first year retention, but only hardiness predicted first year performance at USMA. These findings suggest that hardiness assessment and training may prove valuable in enhancing performance and retention within military training environments.

Data from 185 trainees participating in a videogame-based training environment demonstrated that a single large discrepancy negatively impacts immediate subsequent training performance. Moreover, performance avoid goal orientation and self-efficacy were found to jointly moderate the impact of the discrepancy for both trainees' immediate subsequent performance and their rate of performance improvement across the training program. These findings highlight the importance of realistic goal-setting and trainee self-efficacy for optimizing videogame-based training success.

Several models of team leadership are reviewed, distinguishing between the leadership of teams from leadership in teams. Shared leadership is a variant of the latter in which everyone on the team is responsible for leadership and where leadership emerges through patterned interactions of team members. Overall, shared leadership appears to be a possibility for the military-and one that is needed because of the increasing complexity of missions-but efforts need to be undertaken to incorporate it into formal training and doctrine.

In this article, we examine the impact of negative attitudes toward treatment on treatment seeking among soldiers previously deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq (n = 2,623). We asked soldiers with psychological problems questions about stigma, organizational barriers, negative attitudes toward treatment, and whether they sought treatment for their psychological problems. We found that negative attitudes about treatment inversely predicted treatment seeking. These results provide a more comprehensive examination of reasons that soldiers do not seek needed treatment and highlight the need for policy aimed at reducing negative attitudes toward mental health treatment.

Most lesions occur on the face and are commonly caused by the trypanosome protozoan parasite Leishmania tropica, transmitted by the bite of an infected sandfly (Phlebotomus sergenti). This study compared the effectiveness of a single localized treatment with thermotherapy to 5 days of intralesional administration of Glucantime for the treatment of CL. Three hundred and eighty-two patients with CL were randomly assigned to the two treatment groups and followed for 6 months. The cure rate for the thermotherapy group was 82.5%, compared to 74% in the Glucantime group. The authors concluded that a single localized treatment with thermotherapy was more effective than 5 days of intralesional administration of Glucantime. Additionally, thermotherapy was more cost-effective, with fewer side effects, of shorter duration, and with better patient compliance than intralesional Glucantime.

Methodology needed to be developed to (1) determine the effectiveness of the soft body armor to stop bullet penetration and (2) assess the potential injury from nonpenetrating blunt impacts to the body. Extensive research was performed under the program to develop methodologies to assess soft body armor, including behind-amlor blunt trauma (BABT) evaluation. This methodology is still used today, and it has been applied extensively beyond the original intent. However, the origin of this methodology is not well understood by many researchers in the various fields in which it is being applied because the original documentation is difficult to obtain. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the BABT to offer researchers information about its history and limitations.

When deployed individuals are compared to a nondeployed control group, there is some evidence that deployment may be associated with declines in cognitive functioning. The current study examined cognitive performance before and following deployment in a large sample of active duty military personnel (N = 8,002) who reported no traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognition was assessed using the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics version 4 TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery, a computer-based battery of tests measuring attention, processing speed, and general cognitive efficiency. Pre and postdeployment scores were compared using repeated measures analyses. Although statistically significant differences were observed for all tests (with 5 of 7 tests demonstrating performance improvement), effect sizes were very small for all but 1 test, indicating that performance differences had minimal clinical significance. Likewise, determination of change for individuals using reliable change indices revealed that a very small percentage (<3%) of this presumed healthy sample showed meaningful decline in cognition following deployment. Analyses indicated that despite risks for cognitive decline while in theater, deployment had minimal to no lasting effect on cognition as measured by ANAM4 TBI-Mil upon return from deployment.

Depletion of iron stores (iron deficiency [ID]) may lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which affects mood, cognitive function, and physical performance. Previous studies indicated that iron status may decline during military training. This study assessed the iron status and prevalence of ID and IDA in military personnel deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan (1492 m). Within the pool of 294 participants (149 male and 145 female), 2 males (1%) and 8 females (6%) presented with ID. Although IDA was not observed in males, 3 females (2%) met the criteria for IDA. Female sex (p = 0.05) and self-reported history of anemia (p < 0.05) were associated with diminished iron status. Amenorrhea was associated with higher ferritin (p < 0.05) and hemoglobin (p < 0.05) levels. Although ID and IDA did not affect a large portion of the deployed population assessed in this study, findings suggest that risk factors including female sex, history of anemia, and regular menstruation should be considered in the assessment of iron status in military personnel.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2011/12// Y1 - 2011/12// VL - 176 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1400 EP - 1403 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - We hypothesize that an anecdotally observed increase in tourniquet breakage and decrease in efficacy may be secondary to environmental exposure during military deployment. This was a study comparing efficacy and breakage of 166 Afghanistan-exposed tourniquets to 166 unexposed tourniquets. Afghanistan exposure was defined as tourniquet carriage by field staff in the operational environment for approximately 6 months. In a controlled environment in the United States, a previously exposed tourniquet was tested on one thigh of each subject, while an unexposed tourniquet was tested on the opposite thigh. We recorded tourniquet efficacy (absence of distal pedal pulse for at least 30 seconds), breakage, and the number of turns required to stop the distal pedal pulse. A Wilcoxon sign-rank test was used to test differences between exposed and unexposed tourniquets. Tourniquets exposed to the environment broke more often (14/166 versus 0/166) and had decreased efficacy (63% versus 91%; p < 0.001). Three turns were required for most tourniquets to be efficacious. Environmental exposure of military tourniquets is associated with decreased efficacy and increased breakage. In most cases, tourniquets require three turns to stop the distal lower extremity pulse.

Methods: Injuries were obtained from an injury surveillance system. A health questionnaire provided data on age, race, rank, current self-reported injury and illness, and tobacco use. Fitness data was obtained from operations office. Results: Cumulative time-loss injury incidence was 31% for men and 54% for women. For men, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, smoking before entering the Army, lower sit-up performance, and slower 2-mile run times. For women, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, and slower 2-mile run times. Conclusion: Smoking cessation and fitness training before entry are potential strategies to reduce injuries among soldiers in the Ordnance School.

These articles suggest that the military is superficially investigating evidence that establishes a link between deployment and development of chronic lung disease. Anecdotal cases of military personnel with lung disease are detailed to suggest a systemic problem with undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary disease in deployed service members, Despite these contentions, the U.S. Army Medical Department and other agencies have been actively pursuing numerous scientific investigations into deployment-related lung disease to define the severity and prevalence of the issue. This article will review relevant research efforts by the U.S. military in the existing medical literature and address the current efforts planned by the services to systematically investigate the possibility of deployment-related pulmonary disease.

Methods: Discarded tourniquet devices were analyzed after use in emergency care of war casualties to determine wear and tear patterns, effectiveness rates, and associations among device designs. Results: The 159 devices recovered comprised seven designs. Emergency & Military Tourniquet (92%) and Combat Application Tourniquet (79%) effectiveness rates were significantly different from each other and better than other tourniquets (p < 0.002) as the most effective ambulance and field tourniquets, respectively. Designs had specific pitfalls (e.g., sand-clogged ratchets) and strengths (the pneumatic design was least painful). Every device had wear, abrasions, or deformity about the band edges or bladder. User understanding of how devices work best helped attain better results. Some desirable traits (e.g., one-handed application, use for entrapped limbs) were rarely needed. Tourniquets fit casualty limbs well. Conclusions: Correct user actions (e.g., following the instructions to remove slack before twisting) led to device effectiveness, but misuse did not. Users often assumed that optimal use required more force, but this was associated with misuse. Training should include tourniquet pearls and pitfalls.

A great deal of discussion relates to the delivery of care through a growing military-civilian partnership, where an increased amount of health care will be referred to an ever growing network of civilian providers. The U.S. military establishment now stands at an important crossroad leading into the future of dependent care. However, the special concerns, which arise from the responsibility of caring for military dependents, are not a solely recent phenomenon. Ever since the establishment of a permanent standing U.S. Army in the late 1700s, there have been families in need of medical treatment. Although changes occurred continuously, the development and evolution of policies regulating the delivery of medical care to dependants can be divided into three periods. The first is the longest and ranges from the establishment of the Army until the year 1900. The second period spans from 1900 to the post-Korean War year of 1956. The third and final period is from 1956 to 1975. Special changes and advances in each of these periods have served to shape the face of dependent care in today's Army Medical Department.

BCT has changed considerably since many of these studies were conducted. This study examined Soldiers medically attrited from BCT. Potential attrition risk factor data on recruits (n = 4,005) were collected from medical records, BCT unit records, and questionnaires. Attrition data from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, showed 203 medical discharges. Cox regression (univariate and multivariate) obtained hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for attrition risk factors. Higher attrition risk was associated with female gender. Higher attrition risk for men was associated with cigarette smoking, injury during BCT, and less exercise before BCT. Higher attrition risk for both genders was associated with failure on the initial 2-mile run test and separated or divorced marital status. Attrition risk factors found in this study were similar to those previously identified despite changes in BCT.

Few studies have described the distribution and trends of MVCs among Army personnel, which may have been impacted by current military missions. This descriptive study of risk factors and select outcomes is from safety report data maintained by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on 11,469 active duty Army personnel involved in MVCs, 1999-2006. The majority (66%) of Soldiers in MVCs were in military vehicles within the continental United States (68%). The average age of individuals involved in MVCs was 27.7 years old. Males had a consistently higher MVC rate than females. The average cost per MVC related to property damage and injuries was $36,039 and $24,038, respectively. Results suggest a need for additional exploration of MVCs involving Army vehicles, which were the most common and among the most costly.

We aimed to report the military-relevant functional outcomes after plate fixation. We performed a nested cross-sectional analysis of active duty service members enrolled in an ongoing multicenter, randomized trial on clavicle plating. For this analysis, we included subjects with >6 months follow-up. Outcome measures included radiographic appearance, physical examination, a military-specific questionnaire, and validated shoulder surveys. Mean follow-up for 28 clavicle fractures was 13 months. Union rate by 12 weeks was 93% (26/28). There was one case of soft tissue irritation requiring hardware removal. At latest follow-up, 75% of patients were satisfied; 68% had mild/no pain; 79% had full range of motion; 75% could perform push-ups; and 21% have deployed. For the majority of active duty personnel, rapid healing, return to military-specific tasks, and satisfaction with outcome are possible after plate fixation of clavicle fractures. However, approximately 25% report some functional limitations at 1 year.

Current research is limited to body region affected by the injury. Objective: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal diagnoses and mechanisms of injury (MOI) as well as associations to specific Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in a deployed Brigade Combat Team (BCT). Methods: Data collected on 3,066 patient encounters by the Brigade Combat Team physical therapist over 15 months were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ;(2 tests. Results: Mechanical low back pain was the most common diagnosis (19%), whereas overuse was the most prevalent MOI (22%). The Infantry MOS was significantly associated with meniscal tears and pre-existing injuries, the Maintenance MOS with contusions, Signal and Transportation MOSs with weight lifting injuries, and the Administrative MOS with running injuries. Conclusion: Different MOSs are preferentially susceptible to different diagnoses and MOls. Therefore, different injury prevention strategies may be needed across occupations.

Deployment of U.S. Forces overseas and Joint Service operations have increased, and large numbers of troops are currently deployed for long periods of time. Concerns of adverse health effects from environmental exposures, similar to the concerns about exposures to oil well fires in Gulf War I, continue to occur today. Although progress has been made in developing Joint Service policies for training and conducting environmental sampling, the military doctrine that drives this training and allows for the purchase of updated sampling equipment has been slow to respond to changes, thus resulting in conflicts between current technology and assets available in the field. The military needs to remain flexible to new technology and new requirements, and must standardize doctrine and training across the services, and acquire standardized, state-of-the-art sampling equipment to improve field assets.

A commander's focus is on preventing acute health risks, such as diarrhea, because these quickly compromise the mission. However, in recent conflicts chronic and long-term illness risks have emerged as concerns. Department of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff mandates require documentation of exposures and environmental conditions to reconstruct exposures and evaluate future health risks. Current processes for identifying and assessing hazards, including identification and assessment before deployment and in time to take action to prevent or reduce exposures, when followed, are generally adequate for known hazards. Identifying and addressing novel, unexpected risks remain challenges. Armed conflicts are associated with rapidly changing conditions, making ongoing hazard identification and assessment difficult. Therefore, surveillance of the environment for hazards and surveillance of personnel for morbidity must be practiced at all times. Communication of risk information to decision makers is critical but problematic. Preventive Medicine (PM) personnel should take responsibility for communicating this information to non-PM military medical people and to military commanders. Communication of risks identified and lessons learned between PM personnel of different military units is extremely important when one military unit replaces another in a deployed environment.

However, environmental samples collected for undefined or poorly defined reasons and that are not part of a feasible strategy of hazard identification, intervention, and follow-up will likely be of limited value. Military commanders and their advisors must be aware of the need to quickly identity potential hazards and to respond appropriately with a comprehensive plan that may include sampling. Before samples are collected, the following must be adequately addressed: (1) the reason for sampling, (2) the parameters to be measured, (3) the possible range of results that might be obtained, and (4) the actions that will be taken in response to various results. Additionally. communication of the risks to commanders and the potentially exposed population is important, particularly if the results are inconclusive.

The DoD has made significant improvements in documenting and assessing deployment environmental hazards and threats since 1991, illustrated by accomplishments in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Operations Noble Eagle (following the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks); Enduring Freedom-Afghanistan; and Iraqi Freedom (2003-2010). Sampling is now recommended as part of the DoD Exposure Assessment Method, a dynamic process that is performed during all phases of military operations: l--Predeployment, II--Mobilization, III--Conflict, and IV--Postdeployment. From 2001 to 2009, deployed personnel collected over 24,500 air, water, soil, and bulk samples during operations. These efforts have lead to the creation of an environmental health surveillance database that has been used to investigate public health issues. However, gaps exist, especially in the assessment of individual exposures during deployment.

Health effects possibly associated with these exposures were cause for concern among service members, veterans, and military and civilian leaders. A need for the military to effectively respond to these exposures, and more importantly, to assess and mitigate exposures before deployments and to conduct environmental surveillance during deployments was identified. The Department of Defense encountered many obstacles in dealing with the exposures of 1991. Even though these obstacles were being identified, and in some cases, addressed, responses to historical exposure concerns continued to be reactive. In 1996, efforts were intensified to improve policy and doctrine, field sampling equipment, risk assessment processes, geographic information systems, and other tools needed to effectively identify and reduce the impact of exposures before troops deploy and to conduct environmental surveillance while deployed. Success in these efforts resulted in a comprehensive, planned approach being implemented to address environmental health concerns during the 1999 Kosovo deployment.

To check these new and important results, we continued critical evaluation of tourniquet use for 6 more months in the current study to see if results were consistent. Methods: We continued a prospective survey of casualties and their records at a combat support hospital in Baghdad who had tourniquets used at a combat hospital in Baghdad (NCT00517166 at ClinicalTrials.gov). Results: After comparable methods were verified for both the first and current studies, we report the results of 499 patients who had 862 tourniquets applied on 651 limbs. The clinical results were consistent. No limbs were lost from tourniquet use. Conclusion: We found that morbidity was minor in light of major survival benefits consistent with prior reports.

We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database to compute the rates of AFI to identify high-risk ADA groups for the years 2000-2006. During this time, 16% of soldiers were clinically seen at least once for an AFI. Yearly, 60% to 70% of ADA soldiers with AFI had an ankle sprain/strain, and ankle sprain/strain had the highest 7-year rate of all AFIs (103 per 1,000). From 2000 to 2006, all AFI rates declined; however, enlisted male soldiers ≤30 years of age without an advanced degree were at highest risk. A history of an AFI in the previous 2 years increased AFI rates by 93% to 160%. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for identifying specific ADA groups at high risk of AFI: these groups should be targeted for preventive interventions.

It starts with a brief examination of the historical background behind current Russian conscription policy, and later looks at contemporary Russian attitudes toward service and the institution of the army. Concerns regarding Russian national security posture and fiscal constraints are then addressed. Despite a shift in mentality among Russia's top leaders as to the orientation of their army's posture, real fiscal conditions limit the implementation of many reforms, including a shift to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment. Furthermore, the harsh conditions and sometimes criminal climate that populates Russian units serves as a real deterrent to attract qualified soldiers. Not only do current political sensitivities inhibit further reform, but also it is the culture amidst the army itself that needs modernization. For now, any transition to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment will depend on more favorable fiscal conditions and political will to transform age old Russian military climate into one founded on basic respect for others.

In the United States, federal budgetary funds are allocated based on performance outputs and national economic development benefits and clear priority is given to commercial harbours and navigation channels over recreational harbours. This has created significant difficulties particularly when it comes to dredging during this current period of extremely low water levels. Recreational boating advocates argue that boating is too economically important not to maintain and enhance these recreational harbours, and even more so because of the economic downturn in many regions. Considering these backgrounds, this study provides a review of different methods for estimating the economic impacts of water based recreation activities, including recreational boating, fishing and cruise ship, which are benefited from US Army Corps of Engineers' navigation projects. This paper in further demonstrates the proposed methods by a simulation tool, RECONS (Regional Economic System), developed for US Army Corps of Engineers. This study includes a review of various methods (e.g., surveys) for estimating spending (e.g., annual craft, trip spending) required for use in economic impact assessment models. It will also discuss the importance of, and alternative ways to produce reliable estimates of boating use (e.g., boating trips), including several recent surveys designed and conducted by the authors.

Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from 1966 to March 2013. Study Selection Studies were included if they recruited adult patients with peripheral and central nervous system disorders, were treated with the cranial nerve noninvasive neuromodulator device, and were assessed with objective measures of function. Data Extraction After title and abstract screening of potential articles, full texts were independently reviewed to identify articles that met inclusion criteria. Data Synthesis The search identified 12 publications: 5 were critically reviewed, and of these 5, 2 were combined in a meta-analysis. There were no randomized controlled studies identified, and the meta-analysis was based on pre-post studies. Most of the patients were individuals with a chronic balance dysfunction. The pooled results demonstrated significant improvements in the dynamic gait index postintervention with a mean difference of 3.45 (95% confidence interval, 1.75–5.15; P <.001), Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale with a mean difference of 16.65 (95% confidence interval, 7.65–25.47; P <.001), and Dizziness Handicap Inventory with improvements of −26.07 (95% confidence interval, −35.78 to −16.35; P <.001). Included studies suffered from small sample sizes, lack of randomization, absence of blinding, use of referral populations, and variability in treatment schedules and follow-up rates. Conclusions Given these limitations, the results of the meta-analysis must be interpreted cautiously. Further investigation using rigorous randomized controlled trials is needed to evaluate this promising rehabilitation tool for nervous system disorders.

AB - Purpose: Compare virtual bronchoscopy (VB) to fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) for scoring smoke inhalation injury (SII).Methods: Swine underwent computerized tomography (CT) with VB and FOB before (0) and 24 and 48 h after SII. VB and FOB images were scored by 5 providers off line.Results: FOB and VB scores increased over time (p<0.001) with FOB scoring higher than VB at 0 (0.30±0.79 vs. 0.03±0.17), 24 h (4.21±1.68 vs. 2.47±1.50), and 48h (4.55±1.83 vs. 1.94±1.29). FOB and VB showed association with PaO2-to-FiO2 ratios (PFR) with areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC): for PFR≤300, VB 0.830, FOB 0.863; for PFR≤200, VB 0.794, FOB 0.825; for PFR≤100, VB 0.747, FOB 0.777 (all p<0.001). FOB showed 80.3% specificity, 77% sensitivity, 88.8% negative-predictive value (NPV), and 62.3% positive-predictive value (PPV) for PFR≤300 and VB showed 67.2% specificity, 85.5% sensitivity, 91.3% NPV, and 53.4% PPV.Conclusions: VB provided similar injury severity scores to FOB, correlated with PFR, and reliably detected airway narrowing. VB performed during admission CT may be a useful screening tool specifically to demonstrate airway narrowing induced by SII.

Base workers with possible legionellosis were interviewed and, if consenting, underwent testing for legionellosis. A retrospective cohort study collected information on occupants of the buildings closest to the outbreak source. We identified 29 confirmed and probable LD and 38 PF cases. All cases were exposed to airborne pathogens from a cooling tower. Occupants of the building closest to the cooling tower were 6·9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2·2-22·0] and 5·5 (95% CI 2·1-14·5) times more likely to develop LD and PF, respectively, than occupants of the next closest building. Thorough preventive measures and aggressive responses to outbreaks, including searching for PF cases in mixed legionellosis outbreaks, are essential for legionellosis control.

SP - 1361 EP - 1367 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 179 IS - 11 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - This study examined the effectiveness of two training methods for peripheral intravenous (IV) cannulation; one using rubber mannequin IV training arms, and the other consisting of students performing the procedure on each other. Two hundred-sixty Phase II Army Practical Nursing students were randomized into two groups and trained to perform an IV cannulation procedure. All students watched a 12-minute training video covering standard IV placement procedures. Afterward, both groups practiced the procedure for an hour according to their assigned group. Students were then tested on IV placement in a live human arm using a 14-item testing instrument in three trials that were scored pass/fail. There was no difference in the groups' performance of the IV procedure on the first attempt: 51.7% (n = 92) of the human arm group passed the test, and 48.3% (n = 86) of the rubber mannequin group passed the test (p = 0.074). These data suggest that using rubber mannequin IV arms for IV skills training may be just as effective as training students using traditional methods.

This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period.

The diversity of many work groups in the U.S. creates potential benefits and challenges for their leaders. Using data gathered from a manufacturing facility in southeastern U.S., this study examines how Path-Goal leadership styles, diversity, work group effectiveness, and work group members' turnover intention are related. Although all three Path-Goal leadership styles demonstrated significant positive correlations with work group effectiveness, only the Supportive style showed a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Interestingly, work group effectiveness showed no significant correlation with turnover intention.

The system combines the NOAA Hurricane Research Division Wind Analysis System (H*WIND) and the Interactive Objective Kinematic Analysis (IOKA) kinematic wind analyses, the Wave Model (WAM) offshore and Steady-State Irregular Wave (STWAVE) nearshore wind wave models, and the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) basin to channel-scale unstructured grid circulation model. The system emphasizes a high-resolution (down to 50 m) representation of the geometry, bathymetry, and topography; nonlinear coupling of all processes including wind wave radiation stress-induced set up; and objective specification of frictional parameters based on land-cover databases and commonly used parameters. Riverine flows and tides are validated for no storm conditions, while winds, wind waves, hydrographs, and high water marks are validated for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

In Part I, the authors describe and validate a high-resolution coupled riverine flow, tide, wind, wave, and storm surge model for this region. Herein, the model is used to examine the evolution of these hurricanes in more detail. Synoptic histories show how storm tracks, winds, and waves interacted with the topography, the protruding Mississippi River delta, east–west shorelines, manmade structures, and low-lying marshes to develop and propagate storm surge. Perturbations of the model, in which the waves are not included, show the proportional importance of the wave radiation stress gradient induced setup.

Such mixtures display a volume-change response at a threshold value of the coarse fraction that is reminiscent of systems described by percolation theory. An experimental investigation on a sand-clay mixture is presented that clearly displays threshold behavior and sheds light on the role that each soil fraction plays in transferring loads through the medium. There are two key effects. First, an analysis of void ratio of the interpore clay fraction for varying compaction energies reveals an abrupt reduction in clay density at the threshold fraction of sand, whereby it is virtually impossible to impart compaction on the clay fraction at sand contents exceeding this threshold. Second, although force chains cannot be observed directly, analysis of the sand in terms of its component void ratio, computed based on treating the clay as part of the void space, shows that the sand carries a majority of the load at component void ratios that are too high to form stable force chains. The traditional interrelationship between mean stress and void ratio based on critical state theory breaks down when the sand content nears its threshold fraction. When the sand content is near the threshold limit, increasing mean stress results in a greater dilative tendency. Results are compared with findings on consolidation of sand-bentonite mixtures, and so-called reverse behavior of sand-silt mixtures.

Ten flume experiments were conducted to quantify a sand bridging threshold in a static gravel bed. The D15 substrate/d85 sand ratio was computed for each of 37 unique sand-substrate pairs and the data were plotted, with previously published flume data, to determine the threshold between bridging and unimpeded static percolation. The process threshold boundary between bridging and unimpeded static percolation fell in the range of 12 80%), but endurance was highly variable among fish. Small juveniles [< 82 mm total length (TL)] had lower escape speeds (< 40 cm s−1) than medium (82–92 mm TL) and large (> 93 mm TL) naïve fish (42–45 cm s−1), all of which had lower escape speeds than trained fish (72 cm s−1). Behavior was also highly variable among fish. Overall, benthic station-holding behaviors were least frequent in small fish, intermediate in medium and large fish, and most frequent in trained large fish. Probability of entrainment of juvenile white sturgeon can be reduced by maintaining dredge head flow fields at less than 45 cm s−1 for wild-spawned fish or by rearing hatchery fish to > 93 mm TL and exposing the fish to moderate flow velocities (10–12 cm s−1) prior to their release.

Using a 2.7 mm rod-lens telescope and gravity–fed sterile saline infusion, gender and reproductive stage were determined in the field, and later re-evaluted and confirmed by histology of endoscopic biopsies in the laboratory. Gender and reproductive stage were determined endoscopically in all fish without complication, and proved to correlate 100% with biopsy histology. Modern rod-lens telescopes and sterile saline insufflation can be used under field conditions, provide superior visualization of sturgeon gonads, and offer a high degree of accuracy even with inactive gonads. Rigid endoscopy is recommended as a minimally-invasive means of assessing the reproductive organs of sturgeon and other fish.

Methodologies like Clark generally rely on the use of lumped or average rainfall and runoff parameters defined for the watershed, even though such parameters are spatially variable. In an attempt to leverage spatial parameters derived from geographic information, a modified Clark (ModClark) method or quasi-distributed model was developed for HEC-HMS. The ModClark method was initially developed to use the national network of WSR-88D radar (NEXRAD) rainfall data but few has been published on its application which is likely because of the difficulties in obtaining usable and reliable radar rainfall data and because of a lack of despisal preprocessing tools required to parameterize a ModClark simulation. While the original implementation and testing of the ModClark method required the use of NEXRAD data in specific formats, this study shows that it is possible to use any real or synthetic rainfall data whether it is spatially distributed or not. By not restricting the use of the distributed ModClark method to the use of spatially varying rainfall, distributed loss methods such as the commonly used SCS curve number can vary spatially over a grid and the effects of distributed watershed loss parameters can be analyzed with or without distributed rainfall. The implementation of the ModClark method in HEC-HMS is validated by comparing results to the Clark method using identical CN values. Further tests and examination of the SCS equation demonstrate that the runoff computed from distributed CN is always greater than the runoff computed from the traditional composite or area-averaged CN for ordinary ranges of rainfall depths. Moreover, by allowing a relatively fine grid resolution, the ModClark method determines the overall runoff from the watershed using a discharge weighted approach as opposed to weighted CN, which as reported in the National Engineering Handbook Part 630 is more accurate.

SN - 19397291 AB - Cabomba is a submersed aquatic plant native to the southeastern United States that is commonly sold worldwide through the aquarium trade. While infrequently managed in its native range, cabomba has recently been reported as invasive and tolerant to management efforts in the northern areas of the United States and in other countries. Invasive populations of cabomba are characterized by a phenotype that is bright green. In contrast, cabomba native to the southeastern United States is characterized by a red phenotype, while plants sold through the aquarium trade have intermediate characteristics of both the green and red phenotypes. The response of the three cabomba phenotypes to selected herbicides was evaluated by measuring photosynthetic response over the course of a static 144-hr exposure. Plants were exposed to the maximum recommended use-rates of 2,4-D, carfentrazone, copper, diquat, endothall (amine and dipotasium salt formulation), flumioxazin, quinclorac, triclopyr, and a combination of diquat and copper. A submersed plant species known to be sensitive to each of these herbicides was also included to compare photosynthetic response of the cabomba to a susceptible plant. The photosynthetic response of the red and green phenotypes differed following exposure to carfentrazone, diquat, 2,4-D, triclopyr, and flumioxazin. Diquat, diquat plus copper, endothall (amine salt), and flumioxazin were the only products that resulted in a greater than 50% reduction of photosynthesis in all three phenotypes of cabomba. A second experiment was conducted where all three phenotypes of cabomba were exposed to these four herbicides for 24 hr, and photosynthesis was evaluated. Following the 24-hr exposure, results further documented distinct response differences between the green and red phenotypes, with the green phenotype demonstrating a reduced sensitivity to the herbicides evaluated. Results demonstrate clear phenotypic differences in response to herbicide treatments and lack of susceptibility of cabomba to most herbicides.

JO - Journal of Atmospheric & Oceanic Technology JF - Journal of Atmospheric & Oceanic Technology Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2200 EP - 2215 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 07390572 AB - Over the years, hurricane track forecasts and storm surge models, as well the digital terrain and bathymetry data they depend on, have improved significantly. Strides have also been made in the knowledge of the detailed variation of the surface wind field driving the surge. The area of least improvement has been in obtaining data on the temporal/spatial evolution of the mound of water that the hurricane wind and waves push against the shore to evaluate the performance of the numerical models. Tide gauges in the vicinity of the landfall are frequently destroyed by the surge. Survey crews dispatched after the event provide no temporal information and only indirect indications of the maximum water level over land. The landfall of Hurricane Bonnie on 26 August 1998, with a surge less than 2 m, provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the potential benefits of direct airborne measurement of the temporal/spatial evolution of the water level over a large area. Despite a 160-m variation in aircraft altitude, an 11.5-m variation in the elevation of the mean sea surface relative to the ellipsoid over the flight track, and the tidal variation over the 5-h data acquisition interval, a survey-quality global positioning system (GPS) aircraft trajectory allowed the NASA scanning radar altimeter carried by a NOAA hurricane research aircraft to demonstrate that an airborne wide-swath radar altimeter could produce targeted measurements of storm surge that would provide an absolute standard for assessing the accuracy of numerical storm surge models.

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1151 EP - 1167 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - The lateral and vertical variability of snow stratigraphy was investigated through the comparison of the measured profiles of snow density, temperature, and grain size obtained during the Snow Science Traverse—Alaska Region (SnowSTAR2002) 1200-km transect from Nome to Barrow with model reconstructions from the Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM), a multilayered energy and mass balance snow model. Model profiles were simulated at the SnowSTAR2002 observation sites using the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA-40) as meteorological forcing. ERA-40 precipitation was rescaled so that the total snow water equivalent (SWE) on the SnowSTAR2002 observation dates equaled the observed values. The mean absolute error (MAE) of measured and simulated snow properties shows that SNTHERM was able to produce good simulations for snowpack temperature but larger errors for grain size and density. A spatial similarity analysis using semivariograms of measured profiles shows that there is diverse lateral and vertical variability for snow properties along the SnowSTAR2002 transect resulting from differences in initial snow deposition, influenced by wind, vegetation, topography, and postdepositional mechanical and thermal metamorphism. The correlation length in snow density (42 km) is quite low, whereas it is slightly longer for snow grain size (125 km) and longer still for snow temperature (130 km). An important practical question that the observed and reconstructed profiles allow to be addressed is the implications of model errors in the observed snow properties for simulated microwave emissions signatures. The Microwave Emission Model for Layered Snowpacks (MEMLS) was used to simulate 19- and 37-GHz brightness temperatures. Comparison of SNTHERM–MEMLS and SnowSTAR2002–MEMLS brightness temperatures showed a very good match occurs at 19 GHz [a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 1.5 K (8.7 K) for vertical (horizontal) polarization] and somewhat larger [5.9 K (6.2 K) for vertical (horizontal) polarization] at 37 GHz. These results imply that the simulation of snow microphysical profiles is a viable strategy for passive microwave satellite–based retrievals of SWE.

T1 - ACCUMULATION OF HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRINITRO-1,3,5-TRIAZINE BY THE EARTHWORM EISENIA ANDREI IN A SANDY LOAM SOIL. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 28 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2125 EP - 2133 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - The heterocyclic polynitramine hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a highly energetic compound found as a soil contaminant at some defense installations. Although RDX is not lethal to soil invertebrates at concentrations up to 10,000 mg/kg, it decreases earthworm cocoon formation and juvenile production at environmentally relevant concentrations found at contaminated sites. Very little is known about the uptake of RDX in earthworms and the potential risks for food-chain transfer of RDX in the environment. Toxicokinetic studies were conducted to quantify the bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) using adult earthworms (Eisenia andrei) exposed for up to 14 d to sublethal concentrations of nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX in a Sassafras sandy loam soil. High-performance liquid chromatography of acetonitrile extracts of tissue and soil samples indicated that nonlabeled RDX can be accumulated by the earthworm in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The BAF, expressed as the earthworm tissue to soil concentration ratio, decreased from 6.7 to 0.1 when the nominal soil RDX concentrations were increased from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. Tissue concentrations were comparable in earthworms exposed to nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX. The RDX bioaccumulation also was estimated using the kinetically derived model (BAFK), based on the ratio of the uptake to elimination rate constants. The established BAFK of 3.6 for [14C]RDX uptake was Consistent with the results for nonlabeled RDX. Radioactivity also was present in the tissue residues of [14C]RDX-exposed earthworms following acetonitrile extraction, suggesting the formation of nonextractable [14C]RDX metabolites associated with tissue macromolecules. These findings demonstrated a net accumulation of RDX in the earthworm and the potential for food-chain transfer of RDX to higher-trophic-level receptors.

SN - 07490208 AB - The Bonnet Carré Spillway is a flood-control structure that diverts Mississippi River water into Lake Pontchartrain during exceptionally high river stages. Because of elevated water levels in the Mississippi River in the spring of 1997, the Bonnet Carré Spillway was opened on March 17 and fully closed on April 18. The total volume of water discharged into Lake Pontchartrain was approximately 11.8 km3, or two times the volume of the lake, and the total mass of sediment discharged into the lake was approximately 7.1 × 108 kg (780,000 US tons). In 1996, 757 surface sediment samples were collected in Lake Pontchartrain and were analyzed by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy for major cation constituents. These same sites were revisited following the 1997 Mississippi River discharge event. Analysis of the 1996 and 1997 lake-bed sediment samples was accomplished utilizing fundamental statistical and graphical methods. Element concentration contour maps and variograms for the major cations illustrate meaningful differences between the pre- and postspillway sediment samples that are not readily apparent in the analysis of the descriptive statistics alone. Major cations exhibited significantly greater spatial continuity in the postspillway samples relative to the preceding year. The concentrations of aluminum and silicon in the postspillway sediments are considered to reflect, respectively, relative variations in clay and silt contribution to total sediment. The higher concentrations of magnesium in samples collected prior to the river diversion represent adsorption of magnesium onto exchange sites in surface sediments due to exposure to more saline waters.

Microarray analysis was utilized in this study to evaluate transcriptional changes in porcine skin assessing the underlying repair mechanisms of HD and thermal injury involved in wound healing. Four ventral abdominal sites on each of 4 weanling swine were exposed to 400 μL undiluted HD or a heated brass rod (70°C) for 8 minutes and 45–60 seconds, respectively. At 7 days postexposure, skin samples were excised and total RNA was isolated, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip (Santa Clara, CA, USA) Porcine Genome Arrays (containing 20,201 genes). Based on the gene expression patterns in HD- and thermal-exposed skin at 7 days, the transcriptional profiles do not differ greatly. HD and thermal exposures promoted similar changes in transcription, where 270 and 283 transcripts were increased with HD and thermal exposures, respectively. Both exposures promoted decreases in 317 and 414 transcripts, respectively. Of the significantly increased transcripts, at least 77% were commonly expressed in both HD- and thermal-exposed skin, whereas at least 67% of decreased transcripts were common between both exposure types. Six of the top 10 biological functions were common to HD and thermal injury in which 9 canonical pathways were shared. The present study illustrates the similarities found between HD and thermal injury with respect to transcriptional response and wound healing and identifies specific genes (CXCL2, CXCR4, FGFR2, HMOX1, IGF1, PF4, PLAU, PLAUR, S100A8, SPP1, and TNC) that may be useful as potential therapeutic targets to promote improved wound healing.

SN - 00087475 AB - Cane (Arundinaria spp.) was one of the most important plant resources for Native Americans living in the southeastern United States prior to Euro-American settlement. The use of cane permeated virtually every aspect of tribal life. Cane was used to make houses and village structures, military and hunting weapons, fishing gear, furniture and domestic implements, personal adornments, baskets, musical instruments, and watercraft. Medicines were prepared from cane, and parts of the plant furnished food and fuel. Canebrakes provided agricultural land, livestock forage, and habitat for wild game. Although large numbers of canes were harvested each year, there is no historic evidence that Native Americans actively managed canebrakes for the production of culms. The cultural importance of cane to Native Americans declined dramatically following Euro-American settlement of the southeast because: 1) trade goods were deemed superior and replaced articles made from cane in local economies; 2) the rapid" disappearance of canebrakes deprived Native Americans of raw material and forced them to seek alternatives; and, 3) many of southeastern tribes were eventually relocated to regions peripheral to or outside of the geographic range of cane.

To help one community and to provide an example for managers of other watersheds, we engaged stakeholders in a group model building process to explore plausible water resources futures for the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia, Canada. The process was conducted by a team of academic and federal government researchers and comprised of a sequence of five one-day participatory workshops held within the basin over a 12-month period. Primary workshop objectives included: creating a shared learning experience, developing a customized exploration tool, and fostering trust in the model among the participants. Survey results indicate that the exercise helped participants to expand their thinking to the basin scale and to appreciate the complexity of water management. Participants found the resulting model to be suitable for futures exploration and outreach; however, the high turnover rate in participation limited the sense of ownership in the model by the completion of the final session.

SN - 00496979 AB - Quantitative structural activity relationship (QSAR) models are receiving wide use because of new regulations and public scrutiny regarding new compounds entered into commerce. Accordingly, the US Department of Defense (DoD) supported this study to evaluate QSAR modeling for energetic compounds. Four compounds proposed to replace ammonium perchlorate were examined: ammonium di(nitramido)amine (ADNA); 1,3,5,5-tetranitrohexahydropyrimidine (DNNC); 1,3,3,5,7,7-hexanitro-1,5-diazacyclooctane (HCO); and diammonium di(nitramido)dinitroethylene (ADNDNE). Currently used compounds were evaluated as analogues for those under development. Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) was the analogue for ADNA; hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) for DNNC; octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) for HCO; and 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) for ADNDNE. QSAR analysis was performed with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite™. The comparison of model estimates to literature values ranged from good-to-poor. Results suggested the proposed replacement compounds have low aquatic toxicities and little potential to bioaccummulate, but the uncertainty in the predictions indicates QSAR modeling with EPI Suite™ is only useful for qualitative assessments of these proposed energetic compounds.

This problem is further complicated by the lack of standardized characterization and preparation methodologies for researchers to gain the needed information to assist risk assessors. In the present study, data were generated to determine if multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) fate and toxicity are altered by engineered surface modifications or by different dispersal methods. While dissolved organic matter was a good dispersing agent of MWNTs in water, the humic acid fraction was a more effective dispersant than the fulvic acid fraction. When stabilized in organic matter, the functional group attached to the MWNT controlled its toxicity. Underivatized MWNTs induced relatively moderate toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia after 96 h (25 ± 19% survival at 26 mg/L), while hydrophilic groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl) reduced this toxicity (93 ± 12% survival at 48 mg/L). However, other functional groups (alkyl, amine) increased toxicity (0 ± 0% survival at <15 mg/L). In dispersal method studies, sonication of MWNTs increased fragmentation relative to magnetic stirring. The sonication treatment of MWNTs also slightly reduced the mortality of C. dubia in the water column but increased toxicity in the sediment to Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca. Findings in the present study indicate that nanotubes engineered for specific applications need to be managed independently and that laboratory methods to disperse and test nanotubes in bioassays need to be standardized to obtain repeatable results for comparison of materials.

This creates a significant problem, as basin-scale wave models can generate millions of independent spectral values. To facilitate selection of a wave modeling technology for producing a multidecade Pacific hindcast, a new approach was developed to reduce the spectral content contained in detailed wave hindcasts to a convenient set of performance indicators. The method employs efficient image processing tools to extract windsea and swell wave components from monthly series of nondirectional and directional wave spectra. Using buoy observations as ground truth, both temporal correlation (TC) and quantile–quantile (QQ) statistical analyses are used to quantify hindcast skill in reproducing measured wave component height, period, and direction attributes. An integrated performance analysis synthesizes the TC and QQ results into a robust assessment of prediction skill and yields distinctive diagnostics on model inputs and source term behavior. The method is applied to a set of Pacific basin hindcasts computed using the WAM, WAVEWATCH III, and WAVAD numerical wave models. The results provide a unique assessment of model performance and have guided the selection of WAVEWATCH III for use in Pacific hindcast production runs for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wave Information Studies Program.

A modification of Michel’s method measured RBC-AChE activities from 991 individuals (818 males and 173 females) presumably unexposed to nerve agents. Median age was 42 (range, 18–76) years. RBC-AChE (mean ± SD) was 0.74 ± 0.06 delta pH units/hour. Multivariate linear regression showed an association with age (slope +0.0008 delta pH units/hour for each year; P < 0.001) unlikely to be clinically significant. The findings represent the largest study of human RBC-AChE to date providing measures of central tendency and variation.

These diseases are transmitted by a variety of arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, sand flies, and biting midges. In addition to disease threats, biting arthropods can cause dermatitis, allergic reactions, and sleep loss; therefore, monitoring of vector impact and integrated use of personal protective measures (PPM) and methods to reduce the vector populations are needed to protect service members. The U.S. military has played a vital role in vector identification tools and the development and testing of many of the most effective PPM and vector control products available today, including the topical repellent DEET and the repellent/insecticide permethrin, which is applied to clothing and bed nets. Efforts to develop superior products are ongoing. Although the U.S. military often needs vector control products with rather specific properties (e.g., undetectable, long-lasting in multiple climates) in order to protect its service members, many Department of Defense vector control products have had global impacts on endemic disease control.

Iin 2004, non-vascular cryptogam species (bryophytes, lichens, and fungi) from Iinterior and South-Central Alaska in the vicinities of Fairbanks and Anchorage were collected at a series of ten 50 x 50 cm plots along two 30 m transects in each of six upland and five wetland sites. Nineteen moss and liverwort species were selected from 86 species surveyed to test for wetland fidelity. In 2005, a plot-based analysis of frequency and cover data yielded a revised list of 17 bryophyte species that were specific to wetland communities dominated by black spruce, Picea mariana (Pp. Mill.) Bb.S.Fungi and lichens were found to be inadequate wetland indicators in the sampled locations because the lichen species were sparsely distributed and the fungi were too ephemeral. The cryptogam indicator was thus restricted to bryophytes. Also in 2005, bryophytes were analyzed for their presence on microtopographic positions within the landscape, including tops of hummocks and hollows at the bases of hummocks. Upland bryophyte species were found on hummock tops inside the wetland boundary, but were not abundant in the hollows (p < 0.05). The fidelity of the species selected for use in the cryptogam indicator was tested. It was determined that if more than 50% of all bryophyte cover present in hollows is composed of one or more of the 17 wetland bryophytes tested in 2005, then vascular vegetation can be considered to be hydrophytic (p < 0.001).

En 2004, des espèces de sporophytes non vasculaires (bryophytes, lichens et champignons) de l'intérieur et du centre-sud de l'Alaska, aux environs de Fairbanks et d'Anchorage, ont été recueillies à une série de dix parcelles de 50 sur 50 cm le long de deux transects de 30 m dans chacun de six sites montagnards et de cinq sites humides. Dix-neuf espèces de mousse et d'hépatiques ont été choisies à partir de 86 espèces prélevées dans le but d'en déterminer la fidélité aux zones humides. En 2005, une analyse de fréquence de parcelles et des données de couverture ont permis d'obtenir la liste révisée de 17 espèces de bryophytes propres aux zones humides dominées par l'épinette noire, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. Nous avons constaté que les champignons et les lichens étaient des indicateurs de zones humides inadéquats aux sites échantillonnés parce que les espèces de lichen étaient réparties maigrement et que les champignons étaient trop éphémères. Par conséquent, l'indicateur de sporophytes a été restreint aux bryophytes. Également en 2005, nous avons analysé les bryophytes afin d'en déterminer la présence à des positions microtopographiques du paysage, ce qui comprenait le sommet de hummocks et les creux à la base de hummocks. Des espèces de bryophytes montagnardes ont été décelées aux sommets de hummocks à l'intérieur de la limite des zones humides, mais celles-ci n'abondaient pas dans les creux (p < 0.05). La fidélité des espèces choisies afin d'être utilisées dans l'indicateur de sporophytes a été testée. Nous avons déterminé que si plus de 50 % de toute la couverture de bryophyte présente dans les creux est composée de l'une ou plusieurs des 17 bryophytes de zones humides testées en 2005, la végétation vasculaire peut alors être considérée comme hydrophytique (p < 0,001).

Hydrodynamics were examined in the vicinity of two extreme types of jetty structure: a highly absorbing jetty (resembling fairly porous rock rubble structure) and a fully reflective jetty (resembling a vertical sheet pile or caisson type breakwater). Laboratory experiments in a Froude scale of 1:50 were conducted with regular and irregular shore-normal (0°) and obliquely incident (20°) unidirectional waves. Current and wave measurements were made on the up-wave side and inside the inlet as well as in the bay, along a number of cross-shore and along-shore transects. Wave directions were measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system and Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV). Numerical modeling was performed with the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) consisting of a two-dimensional circulation model coupled to a spectral wave model. Calculated current and wave fields from CMS in the area around and between absorbing or reflected jetties were compared to measurements. The highly reflecting jetty created a circulation cell on the up-wave side of the inlet, whereas the absorbing jetty did not.

This paper describes a method of combining a depth-averaged two-dimensional flow model and a discrete element model customized to simulate floating objects such as ice and debris. The flow model is the shallow-water equation module of the adaptive hydraulics system. The discrete element model (DEM) is based on a method that has been used to simulate river ice and debris accumulations and vessels such as barges. The modeling system provides designers of hydraulic structures, bridges, and ice control structures, a physically based method to evaluate design alternatives in dealing with problems due to the presence of floating objects. Descriptions of the flow model and the DEM are presented, and then numerical applications are provided, demonstrating the modeling of debris passage at the Harlan Diversion Tunnel and the evaluation of navigation conditions attributed to the guard wall at the Greenup Locks and Dam.

This study aimed to identify modifiable causes of falls using data from safety reports. Coded and narrative data on injured persons, event locations, and circumstances associated with falls sustained by U.S. Army personnel were obtained from safety reports dated September 1994–September 2002. Descriptive statistics are presented for injury outcomes and risk factors, with a focus on falls from elevation. On average, 59 fall-related injuries/100,000 person-years were reported. Higher rates occurred among whites, single persons, and 20–24 year-olds. Falls from elevation resulted in more severe outcomes, longer hospitalizations, and more lost work time compared to falls from the same level. Most falls from elevation occurred in training (32%) and housing (18%) areas. Leading causes included routine activities (e.g., walking, entering/exiting vehicles) (35%), physical training (12%), and sports (12%). Interventions to prevent falls from elevation in this population should focus on reducing risks from routine activities, specifically in training and housing areas. Safety reports provided details necessary for prioritizing and planning fall prevention efforts that are not available from other sources.

UVGI lamps require that radiometric measurements be performed to ensure their safe and effective use. This study evaluates 10 detectors that measure the ultraviolet radiation hazard of low-pressure mercury UVGI lamps, including a polychromator spectroradiometer, narrowband detectors designed to measure the ultraviolet radiation in a short range of wavelengths, and broadband detectors with a varying spectral response designed to follow the UV hazard action spectrum. The angular responses, spectral responses, and linearity of the detectors were measured and compared. The agreement between the measured angular responses and the ideal cosine responses varied widely among the detectors, and in general, the detectors with diffusing optics agreed significantly better with the ideal cosine response. The spectral responses at 254 nm also varied widely among the detectors, and, in general, the narrowband detectors agreed more closely with the 254 nm irradiances measured under the same conditions by a double monochromator spectroradiometer. All detectors displayed good linearity. The angular and spectral response data were then used to develop correction factors for the effective irradiance measurements of two UVGI sources, each measured at 10, 20, and 30 cm. The measured effective irradiances were compared with those measured by a double monochromator spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere input optic. Prior to correction, the effective irradiances measured by the detectors varied widely, ranging from 0.29 to 2.7 times those measured by the spectroradiometer. The application of cosine and spectral response correction factors significantly improved the agreement for the effective irradiances measured by all of the detectors, typically to within 10-20%. Awareness of these detector characteristics can play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of health hazard measurements of UVGI lamps.

The methodology is intended to assist decision and policy makers, and has the characteristics of being analytic, transparent, quantitative, and probabilistic. The hazard is quantified using a probabilistic framework to obtain hazard profiles as elevation-exceedance rates, and the risk profiles as loss-exceedance rates that are based on a spectrum of hurricanes determined using a joint probability distribution of the parameters that define hurricane intensity. The resulting surges, waves, and precipitations are used to evaluate the performance of a hurricane protection system consisting of a series of basins and subbasins that define the interior drainage characteristics of the system. The protection against flooding is provided by levees, floodwalls, closure gates, and interior drainage system and pumping stations. Stage-storage relationships define the characteristics of subbasins and the population and property at risk. The proposed methodology will enable decision makers to evaluate alternatives for managing risk such as: providing increased hurricane protection, increasing evacuation effectiveness, changing land-use policy, enhancing hurricane protection system operations, and increasing public and governmental preparedness.

A simple hurricane protection system is constructed to illustrate the required inputs for the system definition, computations, and hazard and risk profiles. The inputs include the required specifications for basin and subbasin reaches, transitions, and associated fragilities, closures, and storm parameters. Moreover, the case study produces elevation- and loss-exceedance probability and rate curves for each subbasin and the system as a whole, and demonstrates quantitative benefit-cost analysis using this risk information. The implementation of the risk model is packaged as the Flood Risk Analysis for Tropical Storm Environments tool currently in use by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineering Interagency Performance Evaluation Team charged with assessing hurricane risks to the New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana, and proposed changes to the hurricane protection system.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 675 EP - 683 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Experiments were conducted in the Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF) at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center to investigate the importance of wave height, period, and breaker type (spilling and plunging breakers) on total rate of longshore sediment transport (LST) and the cross-shore distribution of LST. Estimates computed by the CERC formula and Kamphius were compared to the accurately measured total LST rates. Several K-values were used with the CERC formula, including the recommended value of 0.39 and calculated values by Kamphuis and Readshaw, Ozhan, Bailard, and Del Valle et al. The recommended K-value and most of the calculated K-values overpredicted the measured total LST rates, but methods that included parameters to indicate breaker type gave good estimates. The Kamphuis and Readshaw equation, in which K is a function of surf similarity parameter, gave consistent estimates with measurements. The Kamphuis equation, which includes wave period and beach slope that in turn influences wave breaking, also compared well with the measurements. Additionally, the CERC formula has been used successfully if K is calibrated, and the formula gave excellent results if K was calibrated with measured data and applied to similar breaker types. The findings indicate that total LST rate is strongly influenced by breaker type. The cross-shore distribution of LST indicated three distinct zones of transport: the incipient breaker zone, the inner surf zone, and the swash zone. Transport in the incipient breaker zone was influenced by breaker type. Transport in the inner surf zone indicated that wave height was the dominating factor and independent of wave period. Swash zone transport, which accounted for a significant percentage of the total transport, showed a dependence on wave height, period, and beach slope.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1043 EP - 1050 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely used as an explosive in munition formulations, resulting in contamination of wildlife habitat on military installations. To estimate health effects for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted using the Western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Estimated oral median lethal doses were 72 (95% confidence interval [CI], 49-106) mg/kg body weight (slope, 3.754) for males and 88 (95% CI, 65- 119) mg/kg (slope, 4.525) for females. Toxicity from RDX suggested the neurological system as the critical target tissue. A 14-d subacute study followed with males dosed orally with RDX (corn oil) at 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 mg/kg/d. Signs of toxicity frequently included a characteristic body posture. A significant dose-survival relationship was seen over the range of doses, with a significant decrease in survival at 20 mg/kg/d. Males in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 8, and 11 mg/ kg/d, and signs of toxicity included lethargy, cachexia, and anorexia. Survival was decreased at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Reduced growth rate and food consumption occurred at 5 mg/kg/d. Brain tissue was assayed for RDX when seizures were observed at a residue concentration of at least 18 μg/g. No abnormalities were observed in the hematologic indices, whereas plasma proteins were reduced. Hepatic enlargement and decreased testes mass occurred at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Plasma testosterone concentrations, sperm counts, and motility measures were variable for all treatment levels. Based on survival, growth rate, food intake, and testes to brain weight ratios, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 5 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 2.5 mg/ kg/d.

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2009/04// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 448 EP - 463 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - During April 2007, a coordinated series of snow measurements was made across the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada, during a snowmobile traverse from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Baker Lake, Nunavut. The purpose of the measurements was to document the general nature of the snowpack across this region for the evaluation of satellite- and model-derived estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE). Although detailed, local snow measurements have been made as part of ongoing studies at tundra field sites (e.g., Daring Lake and Trail Valley Creek in the Northwest Territories; Toolik Lake and the Kuparak River basin in Alaska), systematic measurements at the regional scale have not been previously collected across this region of northern Canada. The snow cover consisted of depth hoar and wind slab with small and ephemeral fractions of new, recent, and icy snow. The snow was shallow (<40 cm deep), usually with fewer than six layers. Where snow was deposited on lake and river ice, it was shallower, denser, and more metamorphosed than where it was deposited on tundra. Although highly variable locally, no longitudinal gradients in snow distribution, magnitude, or structure were detected. This regional homogeneity allowed us to identify that the observed spatial variability in passive microwave brightness temperatures was related to subgrid fractional lake cover. Correlation analysis between lake fraction and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) brightness temperature showed frequency dependent, seasonally evolving relationships consistent with lake ice drivers. Simulations of lake ice thickness and snow depth on lake ice produced from the Canadian Lake Ice Model (CLIMo) indicated that at low frequencies (6.9, 10.7 GHz), correlations with lake fraction were consistent through the winter season, whereas at higher frequencies (18.7, 36.5 GHz), the strength and direction of the correlations evolved consistently with the penetration depth as the influence of the subice water was replaced by emissions from the ice and snowpack. A regional rain-on-snow event created a surface ice lens that was detectable using the AMSR-E 36.5-GHz polarization gradient due to a strong response at the horizontal polarization. The appropriate polarization for remote sensing of the tundra snowpack depends on the application: horizontal measurements are suitable for ice lens detection; vertically polarized measurements are appropriate for deriving SWE estimates.

JO - Hydrobiologia JF - Hydrobiologia Y1 - 2009/03/15/ VL - 623 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 213 EP - 222 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00188158 AB - Almost 95% of the entire population of the Siberian crane ( Grus leucogeranus) winter in Poyang Lake, China, where they forage on the tubers of the submerged aquatic macrophyte Vallisneria spiralis. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River may possibly affect this food source of the Siberian crane by affecting the light intensity reaching the top of the V. spiralis canopy. In this study, the photosynthetically active radiation at the top of the V. spiralis canopy (PARtc) in Lake Dahuchi was modeled from 1998 to 2006, and the potential impacts of changes in water level and turbidity on the underwater light climate of V. spiralis were analyzed. PARtc was calculated from incident irradiance while the losses due to reflection at the water surface, absorption, and scattering within the water column were taken into consideration. The results indicated significant differences in PARtc between years. Six years of water level and Secchi disk depth records revealed a seasonal switching of the lake from a turbid state at low water levels in autumn, winter, and spring to a clear state at high water levels during the monsoon in summer. The highest PARtc occurred at intermediate water levels, which were reached when the Yangtze River forces Lake Dahuchi out of its turbid state in early summer and the water becomes clear. The intended operation of the Three Gorges Dam, which will increase water levels in May and June, may advance the moment when Lake Dahuchi switches from turbid to clear. We suggest that this might increase production of V. spiralis and possibly improve the food habitat conditions for wintering Siberian crane in Poyang Lake .

Development and alteration of alluvial fans often require consideration of mud and debris flows from burned mountain watersheds. Accurate prediction of sediment (hyper-concentrated sediment or debris) yield is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general population. This paper presents results based on a statistical model and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models. The models predict sediment yield caused by storms following wildfire events in burned mountainous watersheds. Both sediment yield prediction models have been developed for use in relatively small watersheds (50-800 ha) in the greater Los Angeles area. The statistical model was developed using multiple regression analysis on sediment yield data collected from 1938 to 1983. Following the multiple regression analysis, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under burned watershed conditions was developed. The statistical model was then calibrated based on 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data collected between 1984 and 2000. The present study also evaluated ANN models created to predict the sediment yields. The training of the ANN models utilized single storm event data generated for the 17-year period between 1984 and 2000 as the training input data. Training patterns and neural network architectures were varied to further study the ANN performance. Results from these models were compared with the available field data obtained from several debris basins within Los Angeles County. Both predictive models were then applied for hind-casting the sediment prediction of several post 2000 events. Both the statistical and ANN models yield remarkably consistent results when compared with the measured field data. The results show that these models are very useful tools for predicting sediment yield sequences. The results can be used for scheduling cleanout operation of debris basins. It can be of great help in the planning of emergency response for burned areas to minimize the damage to properties and lives.

JO - Pacific Science JF - Pacific Science Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 63 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 82 PB - University of Hawaii Press SN - 00308870 AB - Hawaiian fringing reefs display sand bodies on their surfaces that are potentially important components of littoral sediment budgets. This work provides a regional survey of modern reef-top sediment storage and investigated geologic controls on sediment storage potential. Sand bodies are formed when sediment accumulates in topographic depressions that are the result of meteoric water eroding the emerged carbonate reef platform during periods of lower sea level. The relief of some depressions may be modified by Holocene reef accretion. Depression morphology exerts a strong control on volume and internal distribution of sediment. In this study a total of 205 jet probe thickness measurements was collected from 54 major sand bodies on the fringing reef (0-20 m depth) adjacent to 22 km of Southeast O'ahu coastline (Kailua, Lanikai, and Waimānalo). Volumes were determined and synthesized with previous volume estimates of coastal subaerial and deeper submarine sediment bodies (20-200 m depth), giving the total sediment storage within the coastal system. Sand bodies range from 50 to 2,800 m from shore. Measured thickness varied from 0 to greater than 3.0 m with a mean of 0.95 m. For this study sand bodies were classified into three dominate morphologies: channel, field, and karst depression. The volume of sediment stored in channels was 58,253 ± 618 x l0³ m³, fields contained 171 ± 6 x l0³ m³, and karst depressions contained 1,332 ± 248 x l0³ m³. Correlation of sediment body distribution with reef and coastal plain morphology revealed potential geologic controls on sand body formation in this region. Meteoric runoff and reef slope are important controls on spatial distribution of sand bodies.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators and cartridges were challenged with inert solid and oil aerosols. A combination of monodisperse aerosol and size-specific aerosol measurement equipment allowed count-based penetration measurement of particles with nominal diameters ranging from 0.02 to 2.9 μm. Three constant flow conditions (85, 270, and 360 L/min) were selected to match the minute, inhalation mean, and inhalation peak flows of the four cyclic flow conditions (40, 85, 115, and 135 L/min) tested. As expected, penetration was found to increase under increased constant and cyclic flow conditions. The most penetrating particle size (MPPS) generally ranged from 0.05 to 0.2 μm for P100 filters and was approximately 0.05 μm for N95 filters. Although penetration increased at the high flow conditions, the MPPS was relatively unaffected by flow. Of the constant flows tested, the flows equivalent to cyclic inhalation mean and peak flows best approximated the penetration measurements of the corresponding cyclic flows.

Simple and transparent formulas for the cross-shore and longshore transport rates of suspended sediment and bed load on beaches are proposed and incorporated into a combined wave and current model to predict the berm and dune erosion under normally and obliquely incident irregular waves. Two small-scale experiments for two different berm profiles were conducted for the calibration of the developed numerical model. The calibrated numerical model is shown to predict the measured berm and dune erosion in these experiments as well as dune erosion measured in three large-scale tests with errors less than a factor of two. The numerical model is used to examine the effects of the wave period and incident wave angle on the berm and dune erosion. These effects are computed to be within a factor of two.

Model geometry is based on hydrographic surveys obtained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 2006. The model is forced with time-varying tidal boundary conditions at the east and west ends of the Canal, and predicts velocity and discharge at selected locations within the canal. The model was calibrated using current meter data obtained between October 1992 and October 1993, when USACE operated recording current meters in and adjacent to the canal. Following selection of these parameters, the model was run to simulate other periods between October 1992 and October 1993. Comparison of model and prototype current speeds for these simulations demonstrates the ability of the model to reproduce observed flows accurately under a range of tidal forcing conditions. The model was used to describe the average net flow in the canal which is normally from the Chesapeake to the Delaware but which reversed during the Northeaster of December 1992, a period of unusually high meteorologically driven tides of the Delaware Estuary.

One hundred percent of the initial RDX was degraded in the sulfate-amended culture within 3 days of incubation. In the sulfate-unamended cultures, 35% of the initial RDX remained after 3 days and 8% after 7 days of incubation. Based on the T-RFLP distribution of the community 16S rDNA genes, the microcosm consisted predominantly of two organisms, a Geobacter sp. (78%) and an Acetobacterium sp. (14%). However, in the presence of sulfate, both species decreased to less than 3% of the total population within 3 days and an unclassified Clostridiaceae became the dominant organism at 40% the total fragment distribution. This indicated the explosive-degrading consortium had greater diversity than initially perceived and rapidly adapted to a readily available electron acceptor, which in turn stimulated RDX degradation.

Sherman remarked that, although he had known Ulysses S. Grant for years, "to me he is a mystery, and I believe he is a mystery to himself." Many authors have claimed to have solved or at least shed fresh light on the mystery of Grant. For the most part, they have portrayed Grant as a great general and good man, dissenting strongly with the highly negative portrayal of Grant contained in William S. McFeely's 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning study. This article traces the evolution of Grant scholarship since 1981 and suggests possible lines of inquiry for future Grant scholars.

During these years, however, the army suffered from a crippling manpower dilemma, both in quantity and in quality, the result of a limited national mobilization and President Harry Truman's decision to cut the army's budget without cutting its missions. This dilemma adversely affected combat effectiveness, readiness, and morale while also exposing aspects of the army's institutional culture that some career soldiers found disturbing.

The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a greater occurrence in women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor units of the VM and VMO are differentially recruited and if this recruitment pattern has an effect of sex or menstrual cycle phase. METHODS: Single motor unit recordings from the VM and VMO were obtained for men and women during an isometric ramp knee extension. Eleven men were tested once. Seven women were tested during five different phases of the menstrual cycle, determined by basal body temperature mapping. The recruitment threshold and the initial firing rate at recruitment were determined from 510 motor unit recordings. RESULTS: The initial firing rate was lower in the VMO than that in the VM in women (P < 0.001) but not in men. There was no difference in recruitment thresholds for the VM and VMO in either sex or across the menstrual cycle. There was a main effect of menstrual phase on initial firing rate, showing increases from the early follicular to late luteal phase (P = 0.003). The initial firing rate in the VMO was lower than that in the VM during ovulatory (P = 0.009) and midluteal (P = 0.009) phases. CONCLUSION: The relative control of the VM and VMO changes across the menstrual cycle. This could influence patellar pathologies that have a higher incidence in women.

Participants with low versus high math anxiety performed a timed arithmetic task after practicing one of three short-term breathing exercises promoting focused attention, unfocused attention, or worry, and after consuming either 0 or 200mg l-theanine. Overall, participants with high math anxiety underperformed relative to those with low math anxiety. This effect, however, was largely alleviated by a focused breathing exercise, which increased rated calmness and enhanced performance on the arithmetic test amongst those with high math anxiety. l-theanine supplementation showed only minimal effects. These results provide insights into the attentional mechanisms involved in regulating the negative emotions that lead to testing underperformance, and suggest that focused breathing exercises can be a useful, practical tool for helping address the negative impacts of math anxiety.

We investigated the mechanistic basis of differences in the osmotolerance of two P. syringae strains, B728a and DC3000. Consistent with its higher survival rates following inoculation onto leaves, B728a exhibited superior osmotolerance over DC3000 and higher rates of uptake of plant-derived osmoprotective compounds. A global transcriptome analysis of B728a and DC3000 following an osmotic upshift demonstrated markedly distinct responses between the strains; B728a showed primarily upregulation of genes, including components of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) and alginate biosynthetic pathways, whereas DC3000 showed no change or repression of orthologous genes, including downregulation of the T3SS. DC3000 uniquely exhibited improved growth upon deletion of the biosynthetic genes for the compatible solute N-acetylglutaminylglutamine amide (NAGGN) in a minimal medium, due possibly to NAGGN synthesis depleting the cellular glutamine pool. Both strains showed osmoreduction of glnA1 expression, suggesting that decreased glutamine synthetase activity contributes to glutamate accumulation as a compatible solute, and both strains showed osmoinduction of 5 of 12 predicted hydrophilins. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the superior epiphytic competence of B728a is consistent with its strong osmotolerance, a proactive response to an osmotic upshift, osmoinduction of alginate synthesis and the T6SS, and resiliency of the T3SS to water limitation, suggesting sustained T3SS expression under the water-limited conditions encountered during leaf colonization.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2013/10//10/1/2013 VL - 47 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 11258 EP - 11267 SN - 0013936X AB - Although nanotechnology advancements should be fostered, the environmental health and safety (EHS) of nanoparticles used in technologies must be quantified simultaneously. However, most EHS studies assess the potential implications of the free nanoparticles which may not be directly applicable to the EHS of particles incorporated into in-use technologies. This investigation assessed the aquatic toxicological implications of copper oxide (CuO) nanospheres relative to CuO nanorods used in nanoenergetic applications to improve combustion. Particles were tested in both the as-received form and following combustion of a CuO/aluminum nanothermite. Results indicated nanospheres were more stable in water and slowly released ions, while higher surface area nanorods initially released more ions and were more toxic but generally less stable. After combustion, particles sintered into larger, micrometer-scale aggregates, which may lower toxicity potential to pelagic organisms due to deposition from water to sediment and reduced bioavailability after complexation with sediment organic matter. Whereas the larger nanothermite residues settled rapidly, implying lower persistence in water, their potential to release dissolved Cu was higher which led to greater toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia relative to parent CuO material (nanosphere or rod). This study illustrates the importance of considering the fate and toxicology of nanoparticles in context with their relevant in-use applications.

Herein, pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) containing ethanol suspensions of two simulants forB. anthracisspores are considered for providing suitable aerosols. Doses and shot weights from pMDIs with canisters having volumes equal to that of 200 metering-valve actuations were constant for ≤165 actuations, but drop beyond that range. There were statistically significant dose variations between replicate pMDIs and between two types of actuators used on the pMDIs. The storage half-lives of pMDIs filled withBacillus atrophaeus(BG) andBacillus thuringiensissubsp.israelensis(Bti) spore formulations are predicted to be 32 and 136 months, respectively, if the canisters are stored under refrigeration (4°C). The prediction is based on use of a logarithmic regression model relating CFU per actuation to storage time, with data taken at times of 1–12 months. Demonstration of the utility of the concept was provided by producing responses from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identifier with pMDI-generated BG and Bti aerosols that were collected with a 100 L/min wetted wall bioaerosol sampling cyclone.

Lead-antimony (Pb-Sb) alloy copper (Cu) jacketed bullets are a common modern ammunition used at SAFRs. The impact of bullets with berm material (i.e., soil) generates a heterogeneous distribution of bullets and bullet fragments in the surrounding soil. As bullets and bullet fragments corrode in the berm soil, the migration potential for antimony compared to other metals is quite high. The goal of this study was to evaluate the spatial Sb migration potential from an SAFR as compared to lead, copper, and zinc (Zn) migration from the same SAFR. Berm soil samples were collected along with surface and ground water samples for a preliminary investigation of the Sb migration from an active SAFR. In addition, different aqueous sample preservation techniques were used and evaluated. Soil sample analysis results show the presence of the metals (i.e., Pb, Sb, Cu, and Zn) in the range floor soil samples, indicating the migration of these metals from the berm to the range floor. The groundwater samples indicate that Sb was migrating from the SAFR more readily than the other metals based on the concentration of Sb in the monitoring well farthest from the SAFR berm.

The measurements of the J–V characteristics reveal strong effects of QD charging by selective doping of the interdot space on the solar cell characteristics. We demonstrate that charging of QDs significantly increases electron coupling to sub-bandgap photons, provides effective harvesting of IR energy, and serve as an effective tool for manipulating the potential profile at the micro- and nanoscale. The potential well for electrons in InAs QDs is substantially deeper than that for holes and, due to major differences between the effective masses of electrons and holes, the electron level spacing is substantially larger than the level spacing for holes. Therefore, QDs act as deep traps for electrons but shallow traps for holes. Filling of QDs under illumination is determined by a condition of equality of electron and hole capture rates which is realized via strong exponential dependence of the capture rates on the potential barrier around a charged dot. Without adequate doping of the QD medium, QDs are filled by electrons from the n-doped junction area and deteriorate the solar cell performance. However, selective n-doping of the QD medium results in micro- and nanoscale potential profiles favorable for photovoltaic conversion. Potential barriers around charged QDs decrease the photoelectron capture processes and suppress recombination processes via QDs.

However, distribution of normal stress within a soil is not uniform, and the EPC is not an ideal membrane-bending stiffness affects the response. These factors complicate the performance of the EPC. A calibration procedure for an EPC is reviewed, and it is shown that these controversial sensors can provide an accurate measure of average normal stress if calibrated in soil at a given density. In addition, a soil-structure interaction model is proposed to explain why soil calibration is necessary.

In this work, the potential for perchlorate removal using cell-free bacterial enzymes as biocatalysts was investigated using crude cell lysates and soluble protein fractions of Azospira oryzae PS, as well as soluble protein fractions encapsulated in lipid and polymer vesicles. The crude lysates showed activities between 41 700 to 54 400 U L-1 (2.49 to 3.06 U mg-1 total protein). Soluble protein fractions had activities of 15 400 to 29 900 U L-1 (1.70 to 1.97 U mg-1) and still retained an average of 58.2% of their original activity after 23 days of storage at 4 °C under aerobic conditions. Perchlorate was removed by the soluble protein fraction at higher rates than nitrate. Importantly, perchlorate reduction occurred even in the presence of 500-fold excess nitrate. The soluble protein fraction retained its function after encapsulation in lipid or polymer vesicles, with activities of 13.8 to 70.7 U L-1, in agreement with theoretical calculations accounting for the volume limitation of the vesicles. Further, encapsulation mitigated enzyme inactivation by proteinase K. Enzyme-based technologies could prove effective at perchlorate removal from water cocontaminated with nitrate or sulfate.

Here we examine natural coastal erosion in Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan, a part of Keweenaw Bay in Lake Superior, and discuss how a variety of geological features (submersed river bed and channels associated with the Houghton Low; Nipissing dunes) interact with long-term sediment accumulation patterns. The geological features also modify migrating tailings from a legacy mining site. The combination of LiDAR derived images and aerial photographs allowed us to reconstruct the historical movement of tailings along the coastline. A total of 22.8million metric tonnes (Mt) of stamp sand were discharged into the coastal environment off Gay, MI. Over a span of 80years, beaches to the southwest of Gay have progressively received 7.0Mt (30.7%) of the mass eroded from the original pile, whereas 11.1Mt (48.7%) have moved into the bay. The total amount accumulated along the beaches now greatly exceeds the mass remaining on the original tailings pile (3.7Mt; 16.2%). Bathymetric differences between two LiDAR surveys (2008 and 2010) were also used to estimate the mass, and to track the movement of migrating underwater stamp sand bars. These bars are moving southwesterly towards Buffalo Reef, creating a threat to the lake trout and lake whitefish breeding ground.

Particle clusters have been the subject of careful study and taxonomy but would benefit from new quantitative, reproducible, statistical analysis, particularly in the gravel size classes where clusters are difficult to reliably resolve by visual, gestalt methods. This study quantified a clustering length scale for a gravel and cobble bed. The size, orientation, and location of 7726 gravel and cobble particles were measured from 100 photographic samples of a symmetrical bar on the Navarro River, California. Nearest neighbor spatial statistics were used to analyze particle associations. Clustering was identified between gravel particles throughout the river bar. Clustering was also identified for large (>d 84 of the sample) and medium (between the d 50 and d 84 of the sample) particles relative to the local gradation. The spatial scale of these large and medium particle clusters were 1.75d 84 and 3.0d 50, respectively.

T1 - Late Quaternary stream piracy and strath terrace formation along the Belle Fourche and lower Cheyenne Rivers, South Dakota and Wyoming. JO - Geomorphology JF - Geomorphology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 197 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 20 SN - 0169555X AB - Abstract: Stream piracy substantially affected the geomorphic evolution of the Missouri River watershed and drainages within, including the Little Missouri, Cheyenne, Belle Fourche, Bad, and White Rivers. The ancestral Cheyenne River eroded headward in an annular pattern around the eastern and southern Black Hills and pirated the headwaters of the ancestral Bad and White Rivers after ~660ka. The headwaters of the ancestral Little Missouri River were pirated by the ancestral Belle Fourche River, a tributary to the Cheyenne River that currently drains much of the northern Black Hills. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating techniques were used to estimate the timing of this piracy event at ~22–21ka. The geomorphic evolution of the Cheyenne and Belle Fourche Rivers is also expressed by regionally recognized strath terraces that include (from oldest to youngest) the Sturgis, Bear Butte, and Farmingdale terraces. Radiocarbon and OSL dates from fluvial deposits on these terraces indicate incision to the level of the Bear Butte terrace by ~63ka, incision to the level of the Farmingdale terrace at ~40ka, and incision to the level of the modern channel after ~12–9ka. Similar dates of terrace incision have been reported for the Laramie and Wind River Ranges. Hypothesized causes of incision are the onset of colder climate during the middle Wisconsinan and the transition to the full-glacial climate of the late-Wisconsinan/Pinedale glaciation. Incision during the Holocene of the lower Cheyenne River is as much as ~80m and is 3 to 4 times the magnitude of incision at ~63ka and ~40ka. The magnitude of incision during the Holocene might be due to a combined effect of three geomorphic processes acting in concert: glacial isostatic rebound in lower reaches (~40m), a change from glacial to interglacial climate, and adjustments to increased watershed area resulting from piracy of the ancestral headwaters of the Little Missouri River.

JO - Ecological Applications JF - Ecological Applications Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 23 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1396 EP - 1409 SN - 10510761 AB - Hydrologie connectivity is critical to the structure, function, and dynamic process of river ecosystems. Dams, road crossings, and water diversions impact connectivity by altering flow regimes, behavioral cues, local geomorphology, and nutrient cycling. This longitudinal fragmentation of river ecosystems also increases genetic and reproductive isolation of aquatic biota such as migratory fishes. The cumulative effects on fish passage of many structures along a river are often substantial, even when individual barriers have negligible impact. Habitat connectivity can be improved through dam removal or other means of fish passage improvement (e.g., ladders, bypasses, culvert improvement). Environmental managers require techniques for comparing alternative fish passage restoration actions at alternative or multiple locations. Herein, we examined a graph-theoretic algorithm for assessing upstream habitat connectivity to investigate both basic and applied fish passage connectivity problems. First, we used hypothetical watershed configurations to assess general alterations to upstream fish passage connectivity with changes in watershed network topology (e.g., linear vs. highly dendritic) and the quantity, location, and passability of each barrier. Our hypothetical network modeling indicates that locations of dams with limited passage efficiency near the watershed outlet create a strong fragmentation signal but are not individually sufficient to disconnect the system. Furthermore, there exists a threshold in the number of dams beyond which connectivity declines precipitously, regardless of watershed topology and dam configuration. Watersheds with highly branched configurations are shown to be less susceptible to disconnection as measured by this metric. Second, we applied the model to prioritize barrier improvement in the mainstem of the Truckee River, Nevada, USA. The Truckee River application demonstrates the ability of the algorithm to address conditions common in fish passage projects including incomplete data, parameter uncertainty, and rapid application. This study demonstrates the utility of a graph-theoretic approach for assessing fish passage connectivity in dendritic river networks assuming full basin utilization for a given species, guild, or community of concern.

We estimated there were 3,905 adfluvial individuals in Mann Creek Reservoir in October 2008 based on a mark–recapture population estimate. The adfluvial population sex ratio of 2.78 females per male captured at a weir, peak spawn timing near the peak of the hydrograph (late April), age at spawning (4–6 years), and growth patterns (slow growth in the stream followed by rapid growth in the reservoir) were all characteristic of an anadromous population. Resident fish abundance was not estimated, but the fish were characterized by relatively slow growth, earlier sexual maturity, and a reverse sex ratio (0.23 females per male) compared with the adfluvial fish. The two life histories (resident and adfluvial) and their differential use by the sexes are consistent with life history theory, which suggests female salmonids maximize fitness by increasing body size and fecundity while males attempt to maximize survival at the expense of growth. The migratory fish in this drainage that could have historically exercised an anadromous life history appear to be exercising the next-best option, an adfluvial life history, which has relatively similar costs and benefits to the anadromous form as distinct from the stream-resident form. Future studies should evaluate other similar native populations isolated in reservoir systems because these populations could play a role in recovery of endangered steelhead (anadromous Rainbow Trout) populations in the western USA.

We used the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to test various sediment and nutrient load reduction strategies, including agricultural best management practice (BMP) implementation and source reduction in various combinations for six watersheds. These watersheds, in order of decreasing phosphorus loads, include the Maumee, Sandusky, Cuyahoga, Raisin, Grand, and Huron, and together comprise 53% of the binational Lake Erie Basin area. Hypothetical pristine nutrient yields, after eliminating all anthropogenic influences, were estimated to be an order of magnitude lower than current yields, underscoring the need for stronger management actions. However, cover crops, filter strips, and no-till BMPs, when implemented at levels considered feasible, were minimally effective, reducing sediment and nutrient yields by only 0–11% relative to current values. Sediment yield reduction was greater than nutrient yield reduction, and the greatest reduction was found when all three BMPs were implemented simultaneously. When BMPs were targeted at specific locations rather than at random, greater reduction in nutrient yields was achieved with BMPs placed in high source locations, whereas reduction in sediment yields was greatest when BMPs were located near the river outlet. Modest nutrient source reduction also was minimally effective in reducing yields. Our model results indicate that an “all-of-above” strategy is needed to substantially reduce nutrient yields and that BMPs should be much more widely implemented.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 39 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 383 EP - 394 SN - 03801330 AB - Abstract: A study of changes in hydro-climatology of the Great Lakes was performed incorporating the nonparametric Mann–Kendall trend detection test and a recently developed Bayesian multiple change point detection model. The Component Net Basin Supply (C-NBS) and its components (runoff, precipitation, evaporation) as well as water levels of Great Lakes were analyzed for gradual (i.e. trend type) and abrupt (i.e. shift type) nonstationary behaviors at seasonal and annual scales. It was found that the C-NBS experienced significant upward trends only in the lower Great Lakes (Erie, Ontario) during the summer portion of the year. At an annual scale upward trends were observed only in Lake Ontario. Change point analysis suggested an upward shift in Great Lakes C-NBS in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A combination of gradual and abrupt change analysis of Great Lakes water levels indicated a common upward shift along with a change in trend direction around the early 1970s. It was also found that precipitation and runoff are on a plateau and in some cases on a decreasing course following an increasing trend in the early twentieth century. Results obtained from this study show that the hydro-climatology of Great Lakes is characterized by nonstationary behavior. Changes in this behavior have caused the Great Lakes water levels to decrease during the last few decades. This study provides valuable insights into the nature of the nonstationary behavior of hydro-climatic variables of Great Lakes and contributes useful information to the future water management planning.

The specific case in point centers on a June 2012 workshop in Beijing co-organized by the China Environmental Law Project of the Beijing Representative Office of the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Beijing Zhonglin Union Forestry Consulting Company, Ltd. The case study is based on participant observation, literature review, and policy analysis. The critical distinction between the applicability of collaborative governance in China and in the US relates to the incentives to collaborate, which differ in China and in the US. The authors suggest eight possible next steps encompassing research, practice, and education.Environmental Practice 15:228–239 (2013) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Environmental Practice is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

There have been spikes of interest, energy, and results in their use over the years. However, there is little sustained use of computers as they could be used to permit students to learn and do mathematics. To be effective computers need to be embedded in the learning process. They need to be ubiquitous and part of every student's learning kit. Indeed, they should be a first tool of choice for most of what students do with mathematics; that is, plotting, algebraic manipulation, optimization, playing “what if” games, data analysis, etc. I outline a number of scenarios and experiences to show just how pervasive computer use can and should be. I put computer use in context with its most important applications for teaching mathematics—namely, modeling and inquiry or problem-based learning.

The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of median and ulnar neuropathies in U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Band members at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. METHODS: Thirty-five MEDCOM Band members (30 males, 5 females) volunteered to participate. There were 33 right-handed musicians, and the mean length of time in the MEDCOM Band was 12.2 yrs (range, 1-30 yrs). Subjects completed a history form, were interviewed, and underwent a physical examination of the cervical spine and bilateral upper extremities. Nerve conduction studies of the bilateral median and ulnar nerves were performed. Electrophysiological variables served as the reference standard for median and ulnar neuropathy and included distal sensory latencies, distal motor latencies, amplitudes, conduction velocities, and comparison study latencies. RESULTS: Ten of the 35 subjects (29%) presented with abnormal electrophysiologic values suggestive of an upper extremity mononeuropathy. Nine of the subjects had abnormal median nerve electrophysiologic values at or distal to the wrist; 2 had bilateral abnormal values. One had an abnormal ulnar nerve electrophysiologic assessment at the elbow. Nine of these 10 subjects had clinical examination findings consistent with the electrophysiological findings. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of mononeuropathies in this sample of band members is similar to that found in previous research involving civilian musicians (20-36%) and far exceeds that reported in the general population. Prospective research investigating screening, examination items, and injury prevention measures in musicians appears to be warranted.

The ability to deduce ground impedance using random sounds incident on a three-dimensional array would increase, for example, the accuracy of estimated elevation angles. The methods described by the American National Standards Institute Method for Determining the Acoustic Impedance of Ground Surfaces are extended to simulate deducing ground impedance by a three-dimensional array. Ground parameters indicative of grassland are successfully determined using a simulated three-dimensional array.

Subsequently, standoff detection and localization of the scatterers in the presence of a half space is demonstrated with a subspace imaging procedure by exploiting the steady-state, multistatic harmonic scattering responses collected over an aspect-limited aperture. The attenuation rates of the harmonic scattered fields as a function of sensing range are investigated. The Green's function vector in the imaging functional is derived efficiently with the application of second-order-accurate asymptotic propagation techniques, and near-field imaging performance for single and multiple targets is also examined in the presence of noise and linear clutter. This study is intended to provide an analysis and simulation framework needed to facilitate the development of a complementary nonlinear detection capability for an existing near-ground, forward-looking linear imaging radar system.

However, the nature and dimensionality of leader emotion management and the behaviors that constitute such management are largely unknown. The authors present a comprehensive, theoretically-derived model of leader emotion management which clarifies the nature of emotion management and its role in leadership. This model also delineates the knowledge and skill-based antecedents of emotion management and the consequences of such management. Specifically, we propose linkages between particular KSAOs and specific emotion management dimensions and between those dimensions and particular individual and organizational outcomes. The model is meant to serve as a framework to guide empirical efforts in investigating the nature and correlates of leader emotion management.

However, a number of recently developed leadership models now describe leadership as a shared process. These collectivistic theories present leadership as a dynamic process in which a leader may selectively utilize the skills of followers and distribute elements of the leadership role among these followers as the situation demands. In this study, we conduct an investigation into the viability of core elements of the collectivistic theories through a historiometric analysis of events from the career of a notable leader, George C. Marshall. One hundred and two events from Marshall's career were identified from historical biographies and were then content coded and analyzed with regard to the components of a collectivistic leadership model. The results of this historiometric analysis indicated that there are key antecedents to collectivistic leadership and that the use of this form of leadership can result in positive team outcomes.

However, these algorithms are developed for the linear mixture model (LMM), which cannot effectively handle the nonlinear effects. In this paper, we extend the current sparse regression methods for the LMM to bilinear mixture models (BMMs), where the BMMs introduce additional bilinear terms in the LMM in order to model second-order photon scattering effects. To solve the abundance estimation problem for the BMMs, we propose to perform a sparsity-based abundance estimation by using two dictionaries: a linear dictionary containing all the pure endmembers and a bilinear dictionary consisting of all the possible second-order endmember interaction components. Then, the abundance values can be estimated from the sparse codes associated with the linear dictionary. Moreover, to exploit the spatial data structure where the adjacent pixels are usually homogeneous and are often mixtures of the same materials, we first employ the joint-sparsity (row-sparsity) model to enforce structured sparsity on the abundance coefficients. However, the joint-sparsity model is often a strict assumption, which might cause some aliasing artifacts for the pixels that lie on the boundaries of different materials. To deal with this problem, the low-rank-representation model, which seeks the lowest rank representation of the data, is further introduced to better capture the spatial data structure. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms provide much enhanced performance compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.

Recently, a novel architecture known as the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system has been developed for the acquisition of compressive spectral image data with just a few coded focal plane array measurements. This paper focuses on developing a classification approach with hyperspectral images directly from CASSI compressive measurements, without first reconstructing the full data cube. The proposed classification method uses the compressive measurements to find the sparse vector representation of the test pixel in a given training dictionary. The estimated sparse vector is obtained by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem and is then used to directly determine the class of the unknown pixel. The performance of the proposed classifier is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The set of optimal coded apertures is designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Several simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed classifier using optimal coded apertures and the gain in the classification accuracy obtained over using traditional aperture codes in CASSI.

A model composed of motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, implicit leadership, organizational commitment, general cognitive ability, and personality was proposed. Results from a longitudinal examination of 1,232 officer candidates suggest partial support for the model, and limited evidence for enlisted experience as a moderator. Candidate personality (partially mediated by interest in leadership and leadership self-efficacy) best predicted leadership performance during OCS and peer ratings of leadership potential. Implications for OCS selection and models of leadership performance are discussed.

Interviews and surveys of military personnel provided a multisource perspective of brigade command competencies, including the proficiency level needed for each competency. Thirty-nine competencies were identified and categorized into 4 training-oriented clusters: leadership skills, operational skills, personal capabilities, and knowledge base. Participants reported their preferred methods to develop the competencies within each cluster. The competencies can be used to assess training effectiveness and to identify potential training gaps. Additionally, the model has utility outside of the military, as it describes a framework for leaders who must bridge the gap between organizational and strategic leadership.

It needs to identify and develop individuals who can adapt to many different mission types and to the various environments in which the Army operates, develop the strategic and tactical leadership skills necessary to perform effectively in higher ranks, and embrace the Army's warrior ethos. To create a performance-based foundation for accessing, assigning, training, and retaining officers, we conducted a job analysis study. Using Army doctrine, protocol, training manuals, and input from a number of Army officers, we identified 46 leader and management major duties that officers must perform with a high level of competence. The list is intended to be relevant for all Army officer positions and levels up to lieutenant colonel, though the relative importance of and time spent on specific duties varies by level, position, branch, and mission. We also identified 55 stable individual difference attributes and attitudes that underlie the determinants of officer performance and retention. We framed our study according to 2 models of job performance, 1 specifying the determinants of job performance and the other specifying the major components of job performance. The integrated models provide a theoretical basis for designing personnel systems or interventions to impact specific components of officer performance and for predicting their likely outcomes.

Recently, characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual module designed for large-scale electric military vehicle applications has been reported. This paper expands on the previous work by presenting details and results obtained from a long-term evaluation of a similar module. The module has successfully operated in an experimental circuit at a switching frequency of 10 kHz while running vehicle load profiles for over 1000 h and exhibited little change in device characteristics. Of all measured characteristics, none had a significant unfavorable change greater than 10% from its initial value. The 1000 h of circuit operation represents 11 783 miles of use or over half of the expected lifecycle in a military vehicle traction inverter.

AB - Many law enforcement agencies have established protective intelligence units that conduct threat assessments, but they often rely on standard criminal investigation approaches rather than the collection and analysis methods typically used by intelligence agencies. This article reviews a basic model of the intelligence cycle and discusses concepts that are particularly relevant to the field of threat assessment, and how it can enhance the assessment and threat management process and guide the allocation of limited resources. The estimate of analytic confidence, based on specific criteria regarding the quality and quantity of information that conclusions are derived from, is especially useful, and provides a more meaningful expression of uncertainty than the “reasonable degree of psychological certainty” often seen with forensic opinions. This approach allows for separate expressions of analytic confidence and the concern for the threat of targeted violence. A proposed matrix based on these separate estimates provides a model for guiding investigative efforts and intervention strategies, as well as the allocation of manpower and other resources. This model may further facilitate much needed research in threat management practices and associated outcomes. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

Nutritional supplements are dietary supplements (DS) and foods intended to supplement the diet. Purpose: This study assessed relationships between NS use, demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and WM goals among U.S. Army personnel. Methods: Participants (N = 990) self-reported NS use, categorized as energy drinks, sport nutrition products, or DS, and WM goal (lose, gain, or maintain) was ascertained by survey. DS were subcategorized as health, weight-loss, weight-gain, or other DS. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to assess relationships between predictors, NS use, and WM goal. Most respondents (70.3% ± 1.7%) consumed some NS; however, overall NS use was not related to WM goal. Significant relationships were observed between predictors (tobacco use, age, body-mass index, fitness score, general health, and eating habits) and both WM goal and NS use. Respondents attempting to lose or maintain weight were less likely to consume energy drinks and weight-gain DS. Conclusion: WM goal is related to multiple health behaviors including tobacco use, physical fitness score, and self-perception of health and eating behavior. NS are consumed in this population regardless of WM goal.

JO - Information & Software Technology JF - Information & Software Technology Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 57 M3 - Article SP - 392 EP - 404 SN - 09505849 AB - Context Software Requirement Specifications (SRSs) are central to software lifecycles. An SRS defines the functionalities and constraints of a desired software system, hence it often serves as reference for further development. Software lifecycles concerned with the conversion of traditional systems into more service-oriented infrastructures can benefit from understanding potential shared capabilities through the analysis of SRSs. Objective In this paper, we propose an automated approach capable of recommending shared software services from multiple text-based SRSs created by different organizations. Our goal is to facilitate the identification of overlapping requirements in these specifications and subsequently recommend shared components, which promotes software reuse. The shared components can be implemented as services that are invoked across different systems. Method Our approach leverages the syntactic similarity of the SRS text augmented with semantic information derived from the WordNet database. This work extends our earlier studies by introducing an algorithm that utilizes noun, verb, and predicate relations to enhance the discovery of equivalent requirements and the recommendation of reusable services. A prototype system is implemented to evaluate the approach and experimental results have shown effective recommendation of requirements and their realized shared services. Results Our automatic recommendation approach generates recommendations in few minutes compared to 9 h when services are manually inspected by developers. Our approach is also able to recommend services that are overlooked by the same developers, and to identify similarity between requirements even if these requirements are reworded. Conclusion We show through experimentation that we can efficiently recommend services by leveraging both the syntactical structure and the semantic information of a requirements document and that our approach is more effective than the manual selection of services by experts. We also show that our approach is effective in detecting similar requirements for a single system and hence discovering opportunities for software reuse.

However, little research has examined what individual- and crowd-level variables independently and interactively modulate threat perception among human observers. Five experiments gathered threat estimates while participants viewed static or dynamic crowd simulations. Experiments 1 and 2 used static crowd stimuli and manipulated crowd size (number of entities), crowd density (distance between entities), and historical information about adverse events. Experiments 3-5 used moving crowd stimuli and either fixed (Experiment 3) or dynamic (Experiment 4-5) crowd size and density. Experiments 4 and 5 further examined several individual- and crowd-level parameters subjectively reported by observers as critical to generating risk estimates. Overall, results demonstrated that human observers rely heavily on both crowd size and density cues, but also consider several other cues, such as perceived individual isolation and grouping behavior, when estimating risk levels within a crowd. We also show that reliance on such parameters is highly variable across participants in terms of both directionality and magnitude. Results are discussed within the context of continuing sensor system and modeling efforts, and understanding how threat perception emerges from the observation of intentional agents.

TiO 2 is manufactured by the traditional sulfate process or high temperature chloride process. Several hydrometallurgical processes for manufacturing TiO 2 have recently emerged to reduce the environmental impact of TiO 2 production. A new process is reported that features alkaline roasting of titania slag (ARTS), with subsequent washing, leaching, solvent extraction, hydrolysis, and calcination stages, and implements the recycling and regeneration of alkaline and acid process streams to minimize waste generation. A virtual ARTS processing plant is described in detail and is used to conduct an LCA comparison with the sulfate, chloride, and Altairnano processes. The cumulative energy demand (CED) and total CO 2 emissions for the ARTS process are 92.6 MJ/kg TiO 2 and 7.47 kg CO 2 /kg TiO 2 , respectively, which compares favorably with the traditional and Altairnano processes.

In particular, the concept of potentials for classical Markov semigroups/processes is extended to its noncommutative counterpart. The characterization of recurrent and transient quantum Markov semigroups and classification of irreducible quantum Markov semigroups are established in terms of the potential of some subharmonic projection for the QMS. This introductory and survey work can be treated as a continuation of the closely related paper by Chang [12], which dealt with the invariance, mean ergodicity and ergodicity of QMS. Since it is intended as an introduction to large time asymptotic behavior of quantum Markov semigroups, this article is made self-contained by reviewing relevant concepts and results in quantum probability space, quantum states, and quantum Markov semigroups that are necessary for the subsequent developments and readability for nonexperts in this research areas.

The electrical breakdown strengths of these multifunctional materials are investigated across a wide range of electrode constructions and processing parameters. The results show that electrode selection and materials processing have a significant impact on the energy that the device can store. Also, this careful consideration of processing parameters and electrode construction has led to the development of a structural capacitor with an energy density exceeding 0.90 J/cm 3 , the highest yet reported.

DN is an invasive procedure that involves insertion of a thin monofilament needle directly into a muscle trigger point (MTP) with the intent of stimulating a local twitch response. Current evidence is somewhat limited, but recent literature supports the use of this intervention in specific neuromusculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of this case report is to present the outcomes of DN as a primary treatment intervention in an adolescent subject with subacute posterior knee pain. CASE DESCRIPTION: The subject was a 16-year-old female competitive ballet dancer referred to physical therapy with a two month history of right posterior knee pain. Palpation identified MTPs which reproduced the patient's primary symptoms. In addition to an exercise program promoting lower extremity flexibility and hip stability, the subject was treated with DN to the right gastrocnemius, soleus, and popliteus muscles. OUTCOMES: The subject reported being pain free on the Numerical Pain Scale and a +7 improvement in perceived change in recovery on the Global Rating of Change at final follow-up. Physical examination demonstrated no observed impairments or functional limitations, including normal mobility, full strength, and unrestricted execution of dance maneuvers. DISCUSSION: The patient was able to return to high level dance training and competition without physical limitations and resumed pre-injury dynamic movement activities including dancing, running, jumping, and pivoting without pain. DN can be an effective and efficient intervention to assist patients in decreasing pain and returning to high intensity physical activity. Additional research is needed to determine if DN is effective for other body regions and has long-term positive outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.

Elsevier B.V. 2016. AB - Background: The relative balance between the wish to live and the wish to die (i.e., suicidal ambivalence) is a robust predictor of suicidal behavior and may be a mechanism underlying the effectiveness of treatments that reduce suicidal behaviors. To date, however, few studies have explored possible mechanisms of action in these treatments. Method: Active duty Soldiers (N = 152) with a recent suicide attempt and/or active suicide ideation were randomized to receive brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) or treatment as usual (TAU). The Suicide Attempt Self-Injury Inventory (Linehan et al., 2006a) was used to assess the incidence of suicide attempts during the 2-year follow-up. The wish to live and the wish to die were assessed with items 1 and 2, respectively, of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (Beck and Steer, 1991). Results: Across both treatments, the wish to live was significantly weaker among patients who attempted suicide but the wish to die was stronger only among patients who attempted suicide in TAU. Among nonattempters, the wish to die stabilized the wish to live, but among attempters the wish to live and the wish to die were not associated with each other. In BCBT the wish to live destabilized the wish to die among nonattempters. Limitations: Self-report methodology, predominantly male sample. Conclusions: The emergence of suicidal behavior is driven primarily by the absence of the wish to live. BCBT is associated with a unique coupling of an ambivalent wish to live and wish to die, which may suggest an underlying mechanism of action.

Copyright Statement: American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. 2016. AB - We review the evidence and impact of relocation on outcomes in child development in civilian and military families, both those who relocate regularly and those who do not. Research with broad samples of families and conventional wisdom suggests that frequent relocation leads to negative outcomes in children. However, this observation is not consistently observed for military families or for some civilian families who regularly relocate. The reasons for these differences are not clear, but maternal attitude and parent–child interactions have been suggested as a possible moderator of relocation resilience. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms or approach for promoting relocation resilience is not clear in the evidence base. Through an analysis of the limited available data, we propose that effectively promoting relocation resilience may involve three primary approaches and related psychological processes: (i) managing the perception of risk (based on prospect theory), (ii) emotional framing, and (iii) priming. These processes are reviewed and presented for further consideration in future research on promoting relocation resilience.

AB - Purpose: Organizational culture is a critical resource for organizations to adapt to dynamic environments and to survive in the long term. Unfortunately, a lack of clarity exists in the conceptualization of adaptive cultures and little empirical research investigates its impact on survival. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to identify, define, and develop a measure of adaptive organizational culture and (2) to demonstrate the effect of adaptive culture on organizational survival. Design/Methodology/Approach: An adaptive culture rating scale was developed based on a review of the existing literature. Ninety-five organizations founded prior to 1940 were rated on nine characteristics of adaptive culture. Ratings were used to predict likelihood to survive using a Cox regression with proportional hazards survival analysis. Findings: Exploratory factor analysis revealed two broad factors of adaptive culture, values toward change and action-orientation. Findings indicate organizations with adaptive cultures were more likely to survive. Implications: The present effort provided evidence that culture can serve as an adaptive mechanism with effects spanning decades. Leaders should focus on establishing adaptive cultural norms and values in order to increase chances of surviving. Originality/Value: This is one of the first historiometric studies to develop and utilize a measure of adaptive culture. Further, this study looked at the impact of adaptive culture on long-term organizational outcomes using survival analysis, a statistical technique not often employed in the organizational literature.

Previous research indicates the primary motive for suicide attempts among military personnel is the desire to reduce or alleviate emotional distress, a finding that converges with studies in nonmilitary samples. Much less is understood about the consequences of a first suicide attempt that could influence the occurrence of additional suicide attempts. In order to identify these contingencies, 134 active duty Soldiers who had attempted suicide (n = 69 first-time attempters, n = 65 multiple attempters) participated in structured interviews focused on their experiences immediately following their first attempt. Soldiers were more likely to have made multiple suicide attempts if they were younger at the time of their first attempt, were not admitted to a hospital or treatment program after their first attempt, or experienced emotional and psychological relief immediately afterwards. Results suggest that Soldiers who experience emotional and/or psychological relief immediately after their first suicide attempt or do not receive treatment are more likely to make additional suicide attempts.

AB - The objective of this study was to determine whether clinically significant ocular trauma can be induced by a survivable isolated primary blast using a live animal model. Both eyes of 18 Dutch Belted rabbits were exposed to various survivable low-level blast overpressures in a large-scale shock tube simulating a primary blast similar to an improvised explosive device. Eyes of the blast-exposed rabbits (as well as five control rabbits) were thoroughly examined before and after blast to detect changes. Clinically significant changes in corneal thickness arose immediately after blast and were sustained through 48 h, suggesting possible disruption of endothelial function. Retinal thickness (RT) increased with increasing specific impulse immediately after exposure. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was inversely correlated with the specific impulse of the blast wave. These findings clearly indicate that survivable primary blast causes ocular injuries with likely visual functional sequelae of clinical and military relevance.

AB - Researchers suggest links between mind-wandering and impaired processing of external task stimuli: mind-wandering results in perceptual decoupling. The primary methodology employed to investigate the effects of mind-wandering requires people to report their conscious state and then predicts prior behavior or neurophysiological responses using the person’s self-report. Unfortunately, this method employs reports that occur after the behavior occurs. An alternative methodology employs a word displayed prior to a performance check or catch trial. After the catch trial, participants then report their awareness of the word occurring, attempt to recognize the word, and also report whether they were on- or off-task. We show that participants’ explicit and implicit awareness of the pre-catch trial word is independent of self-reports of conscious state. This finding conflicts with the perspective that mind-wandering reports indicate perceptual decoupling. Reports of mind-wandering may alternatively be how people explain behavioral outcomes.

AB - Emotion measurement has received increasing attention as reflected in the growing number of methods for measuring emotions in a product development context, including questionnaires. One such emotion profile, the EsSense Profile® (King & Meiselman, 2010) contains 39 emotions and has had increased use in product research. One of the practical challenges to its wider adoption is the length of the profile. We present results from 4 sets of studies designed to evaluate the semantic structure of the EsSense Profile®, to develop a shorter version of it, and to validate the shorter version, both conceptually and practically. A sorting methodology was used to sort the 39 EsSense Profile® emotions (printed on cards) into groups based on a similarity criterion, using two subject populations (n = 121). A unique modification was implemented where subjects indicated from each sorted pile which word in that pile best described the sorted group. Hierarchical clustering was used to highlight the structure, and candidate words for removal were chosen, reducing the list to 25 words. Using both the EsSense Profile® and EsSense25 lists, a validation sorting study was performed (n = 87). Confirmation studies conducted online (n = 1728) and in CLTs (n = 306) used the questionnaires in real-world scenarios, including food-name evaluations, brand evaluations and product tasting. Overall both lists performed similarly, but analyses revealed that there may be important context effects in which the meaning of words may change across product categories and across emotion lists. We finish with a discussion of why this might be and what this means to the sensory practitioner.

AB - Objective: We investigated how increases in task-relevant information affect human decision-making performance, situation awareness (SA), and trust in a simulated command-and-control (C2) environment. Background: Increased information is often associated with an improvement of SA and decision-making performance in networked organizations. However, previous research suggests that increasing information without considering the task relevance and the presentation can impair performance. Method: We used a simulated C2 task across two experiments. Experiment 1 varied the information volume provided to individual participants and measured the speed and accuracy of decision making for task performance. Experiment 2 varied information volume and information reliability provided to two participants acting in different roles and assessed decision-making performance, SA, and trust between the paired participants. Results: In both experiments, increased task-relevant information volume did not improve task performance. In Experiment 2, increased task-relevant information volume reduced self-reported SA and trust, and incorrect source reliability information led to poorer task performance and SA. Conclusion: These results indicate that increasing the volume of information, even when it is accurate and task relevant, is not necessarily beneficial to decision-making performance. Moreover, it may even be detrimental to SA and trust among team members. Application: Given the high volume of available and shared information and the safety-critical and time-sensitive nature of many decisions, these results have implications for training and system design in C2 domains. To avoid decrements to SA, interpersonal trust, and decision-making performance, information presentation within C2 systems must reflect human cognitive processing limits and capabilities.

However, despite their widespread use in cognitive science research, sketch map analysis techniques remain unstandardized and carry limitations. In the present article, we present the Gardony Map Drawing Analyzer (GMDA), an open-source software package for sketch map analysis. GMDA combines novel and established analysis techniques into a graphical user interface that permits rapid computational sketch map analysis. GMDA calculates GMDA-unique measures based on pairwise comparisons between landmarks, as well as bidimensional regression parameters (Friedman & Kohler, 2003), which together reflect sketch map quality at two levels: configural and individual landmark. The configural measures assess the overall landmark configuration and provide a whole-map analysis. Individual landmark measures, introduced in GMDA, assess individual landmark placement and indicate how individual landmarks contribute to the configural scores. Together, these measures provide a more complete psychometric picture of sketch map analysis, allowing for comparisons between sketch maps and between landmarks. The calculated measures reflect specific and cognitively relevant aspects of interlandmark spatial relationships, including distance and angular representation. GMDA supports complex environments (up to 48 landmarks) and two software modes that capture aspects of maps not addressed by existing techniques, such as landmark size and shape variation and interlandmark containment relationships. We describe the software and its operation and present a formal specification of calculation procedures for its unique measures. We then validate the software by demonstrating the capabilities and reliability of its measures using simulation and experimental data.

AB - In this study we explored the potential for capturing the behavioral dynamics observed in real-world tasks from concurrent measures of EEG. In doing so, we sought to develop models of behavior that would enable the identification of common cross-participant and cross-task EEG features. To accomplish this we had participants perform both simulated driving and guard duty tasks while we recorded their EEG. For each participant we developed models to estimate their behavioral performance during both tasks. Sequential forward floating selection was used to identify the montage of independent components for each model. Linear regression was then used on the combined power spectra from these independent components to generate a continuous estimate of behavior. Our results show that oscillatory processes, evidenced in EEG, can be used to successfully capture slow fluctuations in behavior in complex, multi-faceted tasks. The average correlation coefficients between the actual and estimated behavior was 0.548 ± 0.117 and 0.701 ± 0.154 for the driving and guard duty tasks respectively. Interestingly, through a simple clustering approach we were able to identify a number of common components, both neural and eye-movement related, across participants and tasks. We used these component clusters to quantify the relative influence of common versus participant-specific features in the models of behavior. These findings illustrate the potential for estimating complex behavioral dynamics from concurrent measures from EEG using a finite library of universal features.

AB - Head computed tomography (CT) imaging is still a commonly obtained diagnostic test for patients with minor head injury despite availability of clinical decision rules to guide imaging use and recommendations to reduce radiation exposure resulting from unnecessary imaging. This prospective multicenter observational study of 251 patients with suspected mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) evaluated three serum biomarkers' (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 [UCH-L1] and S100B measured within 6 h of injury) ability to differentiate CT negative and CT positive findings. Of the 251 patients, 60.2% were male and 225 (89.6%) had a presenting Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. A positive head CT (intracranial injury) was found in 36 (14.3%). UCH-L1 was 100% sensitive and 39% specific at a cutoff value > 40 pg/mL. To retain 100% sensitivity, GFAP was 0% specific (cutoff value 0 pg/mL) and S100B had a specificity of only 2% (cutoff value 30 pg/mL). All three biomarkers had similar values for areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve: 0.79 (95% confidence interval; 0.70–0.88) for GFAP, 0.80 (0.71–0.89) for UCH-L1, and 0.75 (0.65–0.85) for S100B. Neither GFAP nor UCH-L1 curve values differed significantly from S100B (p = 0.21 and p = 0.77, respectively). In our patient cohort, UCH-L1 outperformed GFAP and S100B when the goal was to reduce CT use without sacrificing sensitivity. UCH-L1 values < 40 pg/mL could potentially have aided in eliminating 83 of the 215 negative CT scans. These results require replication in other studies before the test is used in actual clinical practice.

AB - Compared with randomized trials, community-based interventions are delivered by a wider variety of professionals with varied training backgrounds. When evidence-based programs are scaled into larger formats and disseminated to a wider audience, little is understood about how clients experience these interventions. To understand the experience of clients after meetings with nutrition, exercise, and health behavior professionals, researchers surveyed participants after 6 months in a weight management program. A total of 958 participants were recruited in monthly cohorts beginning September 2011 to complete a program evaluation survey. Qualitative inductive analysis was completed on several open-text items querying respondents as to what they found helpful from meetings with a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and health behavior counselor. Results indicate participants benefitted from gaining knowledge, learning new behavioral skills, or from interpersonal interactions. Findings suggest that the various professional services are valued by clients and that professionals appear to stay within their scope of practice. Implications for those working in weight management are discussed.

AB - Mentalization work would have been impossible without the inception of social cognition as a serious field of study in the 1970s and 1980s, which has led to considerable understanding of the processes that people use to perceive, categorize, understand, and respond to other humans. The experimental tradition of social cognition emerged from the synthesis of social psychological questions with the methods and theories of cognitive psychology. This cross-pollination proved especially fruitful, in large part because understanding others is at its heart a quintessentially cognitive ability, which involves the coordination of multiple mental processes. Further knowledge about social cognition has become possible through the use of functional neuroimaging techniques that allow us to view the living brain in action. Here, we surest that mentalizing is a fundamental human mental process at the center of social cognition, necessary for social interaction and sufficient for imbuing any object—animal, mineral, or vegetable—with a mind. We begin by discussing the research introducing mentalizing, and then review empirical evidence that suggests its central role in mental life. In this review, we have described the cognitive construct of mentalizing and discussed its implementation in the brain. Mentalizing is a cognitive process fundamental to our ability to represent others' mental states and to predict their actions.

AB - Fifteen military personnel performed 30-cm drop landings to quantify how body borne load (light, ~6 kg, medium, ~20 kg, and heavy, ~40 kg) impacts lower limb kinematics and knee joint energy absorption during landing, and determine whether greater lower limb flexion increases energy absorption while landing with load. Participants decreased peak hip (P = 0.002), and knee flexion (P = 0.007) posture, but did not increase hip (P = 0.796), knee (P = 0.427) or ankle (P = 0.161) energy absorption, despite exhibiting greater peak hip (P = 0.003) and knee (P = 0.001) flexion, and ankle (P = 0.003) dorsiflexion angular impulse when landing with additional load. Yet, when landing with the light and medium loads, greater hip (R² = 0.500, P = 0.003 and R² = 0.314, P = 0.030) and knee (R² = 0.431, P = 0.008 and R² = 0.342, P = 0.022) flexion posture predicted larger knee joint energy absorption. Thus, military training that promotes hip and knee flexion, and subsequently greater energy absorption during landing, may potentially reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and optimize soldier performance.

This approach requires the development of a pair of propositions: one aligned to the prosecution case and one to the defense case. This note explores the issue of proposition setting in an adversarial environment by a series of examples. A set of guidelines generalize how to formulate propositions when there is a single person of interest and when there are multiple individuals of interest. Additional explanations cover how to handle multiple defense propositions, relatives, and the transition from subsource level to activity level propositions. The propositions depend on case information and the allegations of each of the parties. The prosecution proposition is usually known. The authors suggest that a sensible proposition is selected for the defense that is consistent with their stance, if available, and consistent with a realistic defense if their position is not known.

AB - Can memory be a bad thing? Why is it always taken for granted that states and societies need to remember political tragedies in order to heal? What does 'heal' mean in this respect? In this chapter, we will examine in particular the cases of Argentina and Spain, two societies in which discussions about the legacies of dictatorship, state terror, and grave human rights violations have gained extraordinary importance in contemporary political life. The desaparecidos of the Argentine military juntas (1976—1983) and the victims of Spanish Francoism (1936—1975) appear at the center of fervent discussions in which the processes of political violence, as well as the models of transitional justice that were adopted in its aftermath, are being revisited, questioned, and reinterpreted. The Argentinean and Spanish cases show that notions of trauma and analogies to trauma, human rights advocacy, and memorial production in the arts and literature are intimately entangled. They form the core of what we define as a pervasive 'Never again' metanarrative, which projects criminal pasts unto the future as an avoidance imperative and at the same time renders these pasts insurmountable, haunting, and always present. To highlight this phenomenon and to come to terms with those specific historical cases, we will introduce classic Greek tragedy as method and metaphor for an alternative epistemology in memory studies that restores the political dimension of dealing with the aftermath of mass violence in post-conflict societies, without losing sight of one of the original sites of trauma discourse.

Designers and engineers in many disciplines must often accommodate these attributes to meet objectives such as fit and safety. When practitioners have academic training in addressing these issues, it is typically through courses in Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E). This paper investigates education related to physical accommodation and offers suggestions for improvement. A survey was conducted wherein 21 instructors at 18 universities in the United States provided syllabi for 29 courses, which were analysed to determine topics related to anthropometry and resources used for the courses. The results show that within the US, anthropometry is covered in the majority of courses discussing physical ergonomics, but important related concepts were often omitted (e.g. digital human modelling, multivariate accommodation and variability across global populations). Curricula could be improved by incorporating more accurate anthropometry, multivariate problems and interactive online tools. Practitioner Summary: This paper describes a study investigating collegiate ergonomics courses within the US in the area of physical accommodation. Course schedules and texts were studied for their treatment of several topics related to accommodating the spatial requirements (anthropometry) of users. Recommendations are made for improving course curricula.

Yet, additional research is needed to better understand what (and how) videogame-based training design attributes impact trainee performance in this type of training context. Goals/goal-setting and performance feedback represent two such important game design attributes. Goal-setting theory suggests that moderately difficult goals produce modest goal-performance discrepancies, which result in enhanced performance. Yet, goal-performance discrepancies are not universally beneficial. This study investigates the performance consequences of trainees setting an unrealistically difficult goal early in videogame-based training, and the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Data from 387 trainees completing a videogame-based training program demonstrated that an initial unrealistic goal, and subsequently a large goal-performance discrepancy, negatively impacts subsequent training performance. Self-regulation was examined as a mediator of this relationship; yet, was not supported, as goal-performance discrepancy failed to predict self-regulation. However, goal-performance discrepancy and videogame self-efficacy were found to interact in predicting trainees’ self-regulation, suggesting more complex underlying mechanisms. This study also demonstrated that providing trainees with simple goal-setting advisement can facilitate realistic goal-setting. These findings highlight the important role of realistic goal-setting in enhancing videogame-based training effectiveness.

Transcriptome analyses showed changes in mRNA levels for 1796 genes in juveniles and 1214 genes in adults (out of 15?000 total probes) exposed to two SSRIs (fluoxetine and fluvoxamine) or to 4-nonylphenol. Functional annotation of affected genes was improved by assuming the annotations of putatively homologous Drosophila genes. Self-organizing map analysis and partial least-square regression coupled with selectivity ratio procedures analyses allowed to define groups of genes with specific responses to the different treatments. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed for functional enrichment using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Serotonin metabolism, neuronal developmental processes, and carbohydrates and lipid metabolism functional categories appeared as selectively affected by SSRI treatment, whereas 4-nonylphenol deregulated genes from the carbohydrate metabolism and the ecdysone regulatory pathway. These changes in functional and metabolic pathways are consistent with previously reported SSRIs and 4-nonylphenol hormetic effects in D. magna, including a decrease in reserve carbohydrates and an increase in respiratory metabolism.

Here, we examined the potential mechanisms underlying the hormetic response of Daphnia magna to the energetic trinitrotoluene (TNT). Daphnia magna were exposed to TNT for 21 days, and a significant increase in adult length and number of neonates was identified at low concentrations (0.002–0.22 mg/L TNT), while toxic effects were identified at high concentrations (0.97 mg/L TNT and above). Microarray analysis of D. magna exposed to 0.004, 0.12, and 1.85 mg/L TNT identified effects on lipid metabolism as a potential mechanism underlying hormetic effects. Lipidomic analysis of exposed D. magna supported the hypothesis that TNT exposure affected lipid and fatty acid metabolism, showing that hormetic effects could be related to changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids known to be involved in Daphnia growth and reproduction. Our results show that Daphnia exposed to low levels of TNT presented hormetic growth and reproduction enhancement, while higher TNT concentrations had an opposite effect. Our results also show how a systems approach can help elucidate potential mechanisms of action and adverse outcomes.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2013/06/18/ VL - 76 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 716 EP - 722 SN - 15287394 AB - Fipronil, a relatively new insecticide more recently developed than organophosphates and pyrethroids, has been detected in surface water draining from agricultural and urban-developed areas. This insecticide is primarily lost through subsurface and surface drainage from terrestrial areas where it has been applied. Invasive aquatic plants often need to be managed in these receiving water bodies to prevent loss of recreational and functional values (e.g., drainage), especially in subtropical and tropical areas. One insect of particular interest is the chironomid midgeCricotopus lebetisSublette, which may be a useful augmentative biocontrol agent for the invasive aquatic weedHydrilla verticillataL.f. Royale. Exposure of aquatic organisms, especially insects, to fipronil may significantly impact nontarget populations. These studies investigated the sensitivity ofC. lebetisto fipronil exposures ranging from 24 to 96 h. The LC50observed for each exposure interval was 7.26 μg/L (24 h), 2.61 μg/L (48 h), 1.78 μg/L (72 h), and 1.06 μg/L (96 h). The LC90values observed were 47.18 μg/L (24 h), 9.55 μg/L (48 h), 6.45 μg/L (72 h), and 4.81 μg/L (96 h). Behavioral changes were seen at all fipronil concentration levels, where larvae exited the plant and exhibited abnormal behavior, such as restricted movement and lack of feeding. Results indicate that acute lethality occurred at environmentally relevant concentrations of fipronil.

The Kissimmee River Basin flood control project, completed in 1971, had a negative impact on the ecosystem of the Kissimmee River and the adjacent floodplain by reducing floodplain inundation. This numerical model study investigated the expected inundation amounts associated with two restoration alternatives with the first being a return to the historical system and the second being a restored system that would maintain some flood control measures. The model simulations indicate an increase of anywhere from 12 % to 33 % in the floodplain inundation associated with system alternatives when compared to the existing conditions. This indicates that implementation of either of these alternatives would improve the ecosystem productivity for this portion of the Kissimmee River with the restored alternative also providing some flood protection.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 49 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3165 EP - 3179 SN - 00431397 AB - [1] The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) radar interferometer satellite mission will provide unprecedented global measurements of water surface elevation (h) for inland water bodies. However, like most remote sensing technologies SWOT will not observe river channel bathymetry below the lowest observed water surface, thus limiting its value for estimating river depth and/or discharge. This study explores if remotely sensed observations of river inundation width and h alone, when accumulated over time, may be used to estimate this unmeasurable flow depth. To test this possibility, synthetic values of h and either cross-sectional flow width (w) or effective width (We, inundation area divided by reach length) are extracted from 1495 previously surveyed channel cross-sections for the Upper Mississippi, Illinois, Rio Grande, and Ganges-Brahmaputra river systems, and from 62 km of continuously acquired sonar data for the Upper Mississippi. Two proposed methods (called "Linear" and "Slope-Break") are tested that seek to identify a small subset of geomorphically "optimal" locations where w or We covary strongly with h, such that they may be usefully extrapolated to estimate mean cross-sectional flow depth (d). While the simplest Linear Method is found to have considerable uncertainty, the Slope-Break Method, identifying locations where two distinct hydraulic relationships are identified (one for moderate to high flows and one for low flows), holds promise. Useful slope breaks were discovered in all four river systems, ranging from 6 (0.04%) to 242 (16%) of the 1495 studied cross-sections, assuming channel bathymetric exposures ranging from 20% to 95% of bankfull conditions, respectively. For all four rivers, the derived depth estimates from the Slope-Break Method have root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of <20% (relative to bankfull mean depth) assuming at least one channel bathymetry exposure of ~25% or greater. Based on historic discharge records and HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling, the Upper Mississippi and Rio Grande rivers experience adequate channel exposures at least ~60% and ~42% of the time, respectively. For the Upper Mississippi, so-called "reach-averaging" (spatial averaging along some predetermined river length) of native-resolution h and We values reduces both RMSE and longitudinal variability in the derived depth estimates, especially at reach-averaging lengths of ~1000-2000 m. These findings have positive implications for SWOT and other sensors attempting to estimate river flow depth and/or discharge solely from incomplete, remotely sensed hydraulic variables, and suggest that useful depth retrievals can be obtained within the spatial and temporal constraints of satellite observations.

We investigated whether fish assemblages supported by borrow-pit lakes resembled those in oxbow lakes to help place the ecological relevance of borrow-pit lakes in context with that of natural floodplain lakes. In all, we collected 75 fish species, including 65 species in eight borrow-pit lakes, 52 species in four riverside oxbow lakes, and 44 species in eight landside oxbow lakes. Significant differences in several species richness metrics were evident between borrow-pit lakes and landside oxbow lakes but not between borrow-pit lakes and riverside oxbow lakes. All three lake types differed in fish assemblage composition. Borrow-pit lakes and riverside oxbow lakes tended to include a greater representation of fish species that require access to diverse environments, including lentic, lotic, and palustrine habitats; fish assemblages in landside oxbow lakes included a higher representation of lacustrine species. None of the fish species collected in borrow-pit lakes was federally listed as threatened or endangered, but several were listed as species of special concern by state governments in the region, suggesting that borrow-pit lakes provide habitat for sensitive riverine and wetland fish species. Differences in fish assemblages among borrow-pit lakes were linked to engineered morphologic features, suggesting that diversity in engineering can contribute to diversity in fish assemblages; however, more research is needed to match engineering designs with fish assemblage structures that best meet conservation needs.

JO - Journal of Environmental Quality JF - Journal of Environmental Quality Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 42 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 696 EP - 703 SN - 00472425 AB - The high cost of transportation fuels and the environmental risks associated with acquiring and using nonrenewable energy sources have created a demand for developing renewable bioenergy crops. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a warm-season perennial grass, is a promising feedstock due to its high biomass production under a wide range of growing conditions and its satisfactory forage quality and chemical composition. West Virginia contains vast expanses of reclaimed surface mine lands that could be used to produce switchgrass as a bioenergy feedstock. This study determined dry matter yields of three switchgrass varieties (Cave-In-Rock, Shawnee, and Carthage) during the second to fourth years of production. Two research sites were established on reclaimed surface mines in southern West Virginia: Hobet and Hampshire. The Hobet site was prepared using crushed, unweathered sandstone as the soil material, and yields were significantly lower at 803 kg ha-1 averaged across varieties and years than annual yields at Hampshire. The highest yield at Hobet, with Shawnee in the third year, was 1964 kg ha-1. The Hamphire site, which was reclaimed in the late 1990s using topsoil and treated municipal sludge, averaged 5760 kg ha-1 of switchgrass across varieties and years. The highest yield, obtained with Cavein-Rock during the third year, was 9222 kg ha-1. Switchgrass yields on agricultural lands in this region averaged 12,000 kg ha-1. Although average switchgrass yields at Hampshire were about 50% lower than agricultural lands, they were greater than a target yield of 5000 kg ha-1, a threshold for economically feasible production. Yields during the fourth year from a two-harvest per year system were not significantly different from a single, end-of-year harvest at both sites. Reclaimed lands show promise for growing bioenergy crops such as switchgrass on areas where topsoil materials are replaced and amended like that at the Hampshire site.

JO - Global War Studies JF - Global War Studies Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 56 EP - 70 SN - 19498489 AB - Lieutenant General Leslie McNair created the Army Ground Forces (AGF) Observers program to capture lessons learned from the first combat experiences of American troops in World War II. Senior officers from the AGF staff, lieutenant colonels and colonels, were sent overseas to observe and write reports on their observations. These in turn were to be used to modify existing training programs for the very large Army that McNair had been charged with training in the United States. This article looks specifically at the Southwest Pacific Theater and finds that the AGF officers were principally concerned about leadership and the impact of new weapons and combined arms on the battlefield. They based these views principally on their experience and observations at Buna, Port Moresby, and Milne Bay and included an addenda on Guadalcanal. The article closes with a report from the senior AGF observer for the First Cavalry Division at Leyte in 1944 in order to contrast with the themes of the early AGF observer reports. Overall, the program appears to have been a very useful - and even successful - way to get lessons learned from the battlefield back to Ground Forces training programs in the United States.

The U.S. Army Combat Support Hospital (CSH) in Baghdad, faced with an influx of such patients, successfully transferred selected burned children by commercial airlines to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston, Massachusetts (SHC-B). The authors aimed to document this process, from both an ethical and a procedural standpoint. Care was conducted in six phases: 1) admission to the CSH; 2) selection for transfer; 3) burn care at the CSH; 4) travel to the United States; 5) burn care at the SHC-B; 6) return to Iraq. Transfer and SHC-B care were funded by charitable organizations. A review of patient records was performed. Eight acutely burned pediatric patients participated in this program. All were successfully transferred, treated at SHC-B, and returned to Iraq. They ranged in age from 1.7 to 17 years and in burn size from 6 to 53% of the TBSA. At SHC-B, the hospital length of stay was 14 to 132 days; up to 23 visits to the operating room were performed for acute and reconstructive burn surgery. The cost of war includes the care of injured civilians, and includes burned children. For selected patients, transfer out of the combat zone is one method of fulfilling this obligation.

AB - BACKGROUND: Substituting whole blood osmolality for plasma osmolality could expedite treatments otherwise delayed by the time required to separate erythrocytes from plasma. The purpose of this study was to compare the measured osmolality (mmol/kg) and calculated osmolarity (mmol/l) of whole blood and plasma. METHODS: The osmolality of whole blood and plasma was measured using freezing point depression by micro-osmometer and osmolarity calculated from biosensor measures of sodium, glucose, and blood urea nitrogen. The influence of sample volume was also investigated post hoc by comparing measured osmolality at 20 and 250 [mu]l. RESULTS: Sixty-two volunteers provided 168 paired whole blood and plasma samples for analysis. The mean difference (whole blood - plasma; ±standard deviation) in osmolality was 10 ± 3 mmol/kg. Whole blood was greater than plasma in 168 of 168 cases (100%) and data distributions overlapped by 27%. The mean difference in osmolarity was 0 ± 2 mmol/l. Whole blood was greater than plasma in 90 of 168 cases (56%) and data distributions overlapped by 90%. The osmol gap (osmolality - osmolarity) was 16 ± 6 mmol for whole blood and 7 ± 5 mmol for plasma. Ten volunteers were tested on one occasion post hoc to investigate the potential effects of sample volume. The difference between whole blood and plasma was reduced to 3 ± 2 mmol/kg with a larger (250 [mu]l vs. 20 [mu]l) sample volume. CONCLUSIONS: This investigation provides strong evidence that whole blood and plasma osmolality are not interchangeable measurements when a 20 [mu]l sample is used.

However, the neural underpinnings of these abnormalities are incompletely understood.Methods: Responses of a network of brain regions known to be involved in self and other processing (e.g., medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and superior temporal gyrus (STG)) were measured during SR in 16 first-degree, non-psychotic relatives (RELS) of schizophrenia patients and 16 healthy controls (CONS). Because of prior evidence linking dysfunction in this network and delusions, associations between SR-related responses of this network and subclinical delusions (measured using the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory) were also examined.Results: Compared with CONS, RELS showed significantly less SR-related activity of the right and left PCC and STG. Moreover, response magnitudes were negatively correlated with levels of delusional thinking across both groups.Conclusions: These findings suggest that aberrant function of the neural circuitry underpinning SR is associated with the genetic liability to schizophrenia and confers vulnerability to delusional beliefs.

Missed auditory information can be fatal for a soldier; therefore, helmet design requires compromise between protection and optimal acoustics. Twelve soldiers localised two sound signals presented from six azimuth angles and three levels of elevation presented at two intensity levels and with three background noises. Each participant completed the task while wearing no helmet and with two U.S. Army infantry helmets – the Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) helmet and the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH). Results showed a significant effect of helmet type on the size of both azimuth and elevation error. The effects of level, background noise, azimuth and elevation were found to be significant. There was no effect of sound signal type. As hypothesised, localisation accuracy was greatest when soldiers did not wear helmet, followed by the ACH. Performance was worst with the PASGT helmet. Practitioner Summary:A soldier's headgear provides ballistic protection but decreases his ability to accurately localise sound sources. Soldiers performed a sound localisation task with no helmet and while wearing each of two Army helmets. The study confirmed that the ACH had less impact on auditory spatial perception than the PASGT helmet.

Executive functioning deficits may result from concussion. The Charge of Quarters (CQ) Duty Task is a multitask assessment designed to assess executive functioning in servicemembers after concussion. In this article, we discuss the rationale and process used in the development of the CQ Duty Task and present pilot data from the preliminary evaluation of interrater reliability (IRR). METHOD. Three evaluators observed as 12 healthy participants performed the CQ Duty Task and measured performance using various metrics. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) quantified IRR. RESULTS. The ICC for task completion was .94. ICCs for other assessment metrics were variable. CONCLUSION. Preliminary IRR data for the CQ Duty Task are encouraging, but further investigation is needed to improve IRR in some domains. Lessons learned in the development of the CQ Duty Task could benefit future test development efforts with populations other than the military.

However, at this time the mechanisms of SMT are not well established. It is possible that changes in pain sensitivity may occur following SMT. Objectives To assess the immediate pain response in patients with shoulder pain following thoracic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) using pressure pain threshold (PPT), and to assess the relationship of change in pain sensitivity to patient-rated outcomes of pain and function following treatment. Design Randomized Controlled Study. Methods Subjects with unilateral subacromial impingement syndrome (n = 45) were randomly assigned to receive treatment with thoracic SMT or sham thoracic SMT. PPT was measured at the painful shoulder (deltoid) and unaffected regions (contralateral deltoid and bilateral lower trapezius areas) immediately pre- and post-treatment. Patient-rated outcomes were pain (numeric pain rating scale – NPRS), function (Pennsylvania Shoulder Score – Penn), and global rating of change (GROC). Results There were no significant differences between groups in pre-to post-treatment changes in PPT (p ≥ 0.583) nor were there significant changes in PPT within either group (p ≥ 0.372) following treatment. NPRS, Penn and GROC improved across both groups (p < 0.001), but there were no differences between the groups (p ≥ 0.574). Conclusion There were no differences in pressure pain sensitivity between participants receiving thoracic SMT versus sham thoracic SMT. Both groups had improved patient-rated pain and function within 24–48 h of treatment, but there was no difference in outcomes between the groups.

ATV safety education of youth could help reduce these tragedies. Objectives To assess the efficacy of the Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) school-based programme targeting adolescents. Methods A survey was anonymously administered before and after the programme to determine demographics, knowledge and reported likelihood of using the information learned. Results Over 4600 students in 30 Iowa schools participated from November 2010 to April 2013. Initially, 52% knew most ATVs are designed for one rider, 25% knew the recommended vehicle size for their age range and 42% knew riding on Iowa’s roads was legal only for agricultural purposes. After the programme, this increased to 92%, 82% and 76%, respectively (p<0.0001 in each case), with 61% of students correct on all three. Better preintervention scores were associated with being males, higher riding frequency and being from isolated rural communities. After the programme, 48% and 32% said they were likely/very likely versus unlikely/very unlikely to use the safety information learned, respectively; younger students, females and infrequent riders reported higher likelihoods. Conclusions STARs increased short-term ATV safety knowledge and almost half the participants reported they would use the safety information presented. Males and frequent riders seemed more resistant, but some groups that may be more vulnerable to potential ATV crash and injury appeared amenable to the training with higher increases in postprogramme scores and greater intention of improving safety behaviours.

One of the most prominent of these traditionalists was Brigadier General Hamilton S. Hawkins, who contended that mechanized vehicles would never be capable or numerous enough to completely eliminate the use of horse cavalry. Even as mechanized forces dominated the battlefield during World War II, Hawkins continued to write about the need for horse cavalry. Faced with overwhelming evidence in favor of mechanized vehicles, Hawkins ultimately demonstrated that his advocacy of the horse was a matter of faith and not of empirical evidence.

Ti-Al blends with ratios of 3:1, 1:1, or 1:3 have been prepared by ball milling. Subsequent to the preparation of the precursor blends, plate-shaped green compacts of Ti-Al and Ti-B0.6 were pressed at room temperature. Green compacts were stacked in a layered geometry and were heated rapidly under a static pressure of about 10 bar. After the temperature reached 1300-1400°C, the Ti-Al and TiB0.6 phases were synthesized by the conversion of the reactants into the product phases (also known as 'thermal explosion' processing) and simultaneously consolidated and joined under a pressure of 80-100 bar. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination showed that the Ti-Al layer was highly heterogeneous, and the extent of heterogeneity depended strongly on the respective elemental ratio of Ti to Al. Furthermore, the conversion from reactants to products was found to be determined by the overall heat available during the thermal explosion processing step. Unlike the Ti-Al, the TiB0.6 layer was more uniform; however, the combination of heat and pressure was found to be insufficient to fully densify the aluminide layer. These and other features of the layered intermetallic structures will be discussed.

Twenty beams with nominal depths from 152.4 to 304.8 mm were tested in three-point bending with a span-to-depth ratio of four. Load was applied to the top flange directly above the web-12 without bearing plates and 8 with bearing plates of varying width and thickness. All test specimens failed with a wedgelike shear failure at the upper web-flange junction. Finite-element results support experimental findings from strain gauge and digital image correlation data. Bearing plates increased beam capacity by 35% or more as a function of bearing plate width and thickness. Bearing plates increased average shear stress in the web at failure from 17.4 to 27.2 MPa-below the accepted value of in-plane shear strength (69 MPa). A design equation is presented, and predicted capacities are compared with experimental results. The average value of experimental capacity to predicted capacity is 1.12 with a standard deviation of 0.11 and coefficient of variation (COV) of 0.10 for sections up to 304.8 mm deep.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 137 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 663 EP - 677 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339364 AB - In this research, variation is defined as the time difference between what was planned and what actually happened in terms of task starting times and duration. Variation in construction tasks is important as it can impact productivity performance. Construction projects consist of a large number of interdependent tasks. When the starting time and/or duration of one task varies, it can affect other downstream tasks and result in disruptions to the schedule and/or decreased productivity. The construction process is complex and involves numerous people with different levels of responsibility, which makes identifying the root causes of the variation difficult. A nationwide survey was administered to workers, foremen, and project managers to identify the most prevalent causes and magnitude of both starting time and task duration variation. Fifty individual causes of variation were divided into eight categories: prerequisite work, detailed design/working method, labor force, tools and equipment, material and components, work/job site conditions, management/supervision/information flow, and weather or external conditions. This research examined the similarities and differences in perceptions between craft workers, foremen, and project managers in terms of starting time and task duration variation. The top eight causes of starting time variation and top nine causes of task duration variation were identified. The research also quantitatively analyzed the underlying structure of the causes of variation using factor analysis. This was done by grouping the 50 individual causes into nine orthogonal factors that represent the underlying structure of the affecting causes. The findings will help construction project managers and field managers focus on the root causes of variation during planning in order to develop effective strategies to reduce variation and improve project productivity performance.

Objective: The goal of this preliminary investigation was to assess the release of CNMs into the laboratory atmosphere during handling and sonication into environmentally relevant matrices. Method s: We measured fullerenes (C60), underivatized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (raw MWCNT), hydroxylated MWCNT (MWCNT-OH), and carbon black (CB) in air as the nanomaterials were weighed, transferred to beakers filled with reconstituted freshwater, and sonicated in deionized water and reconstituted freshwater with and without NOM. Airborne nanomaterials emitted during processing were quantified using two hand-held particle counters that measure total particle number concentration per volume of air within the nanometer range (10 -- 1,000 nm) and six specific size ranges (300 -- 10,000 nm). Particle size and morphology were determined by transmission electron microscopy of air sample filters. Discussion: After correcting for background particle number concentrations, it was evident that increases in airborne particle number concentrations occurred for each nanomaterial except CB during weighing, with airborne particle number concentrations inversely related to particle size. Sonicating nanomaterial-spiked water resulted in increased airborne nanomaterials, most notably for MWCNT-OH in water with NOM and for CB. Conclusion: Engineered nanomaterials can become airborne when mixed in solution by sonication, especially when nanomaterials are functionalized or in water containing NOM. This finding indicates that laboratory workers may be at increased risk of exposure to engineered nanomaterials.

Fractal-based inductor design is a method for obtaining a very long trace lengths—and thus inductance densities—in 2-D space as a replacement for the serpentines currently used in one layer inductors. Because of the intricate course created by a fractal curve, these types of inductors are particularly well suited for stretchable electronics, where a tortuous path relieves mechanical stress and creates a more compliant structure. Inductors based on seven common space filling curves, all bounded within a one square millimeter area, were both simulated and measured experimentally and found to vary between 3.0 and 7.1 nH. Lower order fractals were found to give comparable performance to serpentine inductors with similar inductance density. More complicated fractals, after more than two iterations, were found to have lower inductance density than similar resistance serpentines. Mechanical simulations demonstrate a reduction in stress by a factor of 10 or more compared with the loop and serpentine designs.

The model that we use to characterize targets and generate discrimination features relies on a solution of the inverse UXO problem using the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. Unlike other classification techniques, which often rely on library matching or expert knowledge, our combined clustering/Gaussian-mixture-model approach first uses the inherent properties of the data in feature space to build a custom training list that is then used to score all unknown targets by assigning them a likelihood of being UXO. The ground truth for the most likely candidates is then requested and used to correct the model parameters and reassign the scores. The process is repeated several times until the desired statistical margin is reached, at which point a final dig is produced. Our method could decrease intervention by human experts and, as the results of the blind test show, identify all targets of interest correctly while minimizing false-alarm counts.

The model assumes that the secondary magnetic field measured by a sensor originates from a set of magnetic dipole sources distributed over a volume that coincides with the interrogated area. The Green functions associated with the responding sources are turned into an orthonormal basis using a generalization of the Gram-Schmidt method, enabling one to determine the sources' strengths directly from measured data without having to invert large and potentially ill-conditioned matrices. The method treats multitarget cases naturally and robustly. Several examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the method in the discrimination of unexploded ordnance (UXO). In particular, we analyze data taken by the Time-Domain Electromagnetic Multisensor Towed Array Detection System sensor array at a test stand and during a blind test administered at a UXO live site. The method is highly successful in distinguishing UXO from among other UXO and from accompanying clutter.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing J1 - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing PY - 2014/08// Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 52 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 4808 EP - 4822 SN - 01962892 AB - In this paper, a novel discriminative dictionary learning method is proposed for sparse-representation-based classification (SRC) to label highly dimensional hyperspectral imagery (HSI). In SRC, a dictionary is conventionally constructed using all of the training pixels, which is not only inefficient due to the large size of typical HSI images but also ineffective in capturing class-discriminative information crucial for classification. We address the dictionary design problem with the inspiration from the learning vector quantization technique and propose a hinge loss function that is directly related to the classification task as the objective function for dictionary learning. The resulting online learning procedure systematically “pulls” and “pushes” dictionary atoms so that they become better adapted to distinguish between different classes. In addition, the spatial context for a test pixel within its local neighborhood is modeled using a Bayesian graph model and is incorporated with the sparse representation of a single test pixel in a unified probabilistic framework, which enables further refinement of our dictionary to capture the spatial class dependence that complements the spectral information. Experiments on different HSI images demonstrate that the dictionaries optimized using our method can achieve higher classification accuracy with substantially reduced dictionary size than using the whole training set. The proposed method also outperforms existing dictionary learning methods and attains the state-of-the-art results in both the spectral-only and spatial-spectral settings.

The study consisted of Millennium Cohort Study participants and used self-reported symptoms. Repeated measures modeling assessed PTSD and depression continuously and dichotomously over time. A subanalysis among only recently deployed personnel was conducted. Of the 52,653 participants for the PTSD analysis, the adjusted PCL-C means were 34.6 for Reservists, 34.4 for National Guardsmen, and 34.7 for active duty members, respectively. Of the 53,073 participants for depression analysis, the adjusted PHQ-9 means were 6.8, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively. In dichotomous models, Reservists and National Guardsmen did not have a higher risk of PTSD or depression compared with active duty members. Among deployers, Reservists and National Guardsmen had higher odds (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence limit [CL] [1.01, 1.34] and OR = 1.19, 95% CL [1.04, 1.36], respectively) of screening positive for PTSD, but not depression. Although Reserve and National Guard deployers had modestly increased odds of PTSD compared with active duty members, overall there were minimal differences in the risk and symptom scores of PTSD and depression between service components.

Each player yields a noisy response to a binary query governed by a certain error probability. First, we propose a sequential policy for constructing questions that queries each player in sequence and refines the posterior of the target location. Second, we consider a joint policy that asks all players questions in parallel at each time instant and characterize the structure of the optimal policy for constructing the sequence of questions. This generalizes the single player probabilistic bisection method for stochastic search problems. Third, we prove an equivalence between the two schemes showing that, despite the fact that the sequential scheme has access to a more refined filtration, the joint scheme performs just as well on average. Fourth, we establish convergence rates of the mean-square error and derive error exponents. Finally, we obtain an extension to the case of unknown error probabilities. This framework provides a mathematical model for incorporating a human in the loop for active machine learning systems.

First, the fundamental frequency generated by the main rotor blades of a rotorcraft was tracked using a fixed-lag smoother. Then, the frequency estimates were used to resample the data using interpolation. Next, the motion-compensated data were further focused using a technique based upon the phase gradient autofocus (PGA) algorithm. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics due to focusing the data. For most of the data, the algorithm focused the harmonics between approximately 10-90 Hz to within 1-2 dB of an estimated upper bound (UB) obtained from conservation of energy and estimates of the Doppler shift. In addition, the algorithm was able to separate two closely spaced frequencies in the spectra of the rotorcraft. The algorithm developed can be used to preprocess data for classification, nulling, and tracking algorithms.

Systems PY - 2014/02// Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 44 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 146 EP - 161 SN - 21682216 AB - The recent growth of agent-based software systems was achieved without the development of a reference architecture. From a software engineering standpoint, a reference architecture is necessary to compare, evaluate, and integrate past, current, and future agent-based software systems. The agent systems reference architecture (ASRA) advances the agent-based system development process by providing a set of key interaction patterns for functional areas that exist between the layers and protocols of agent-based systems. Furthermore, the ASRA identifies the points for interoperability between agent-based systems and increases the level of discussion when referring to agent-based systems. This paper presents methodology, grounded in software forensics, to develop the ASRA and provides an overview of the resulting architectural representation. The methodology uses an approach based on software engineering techniques adapted to study agent frameworks—the libraries and tools for building agent systems. The resulting ASRA can serve as an abstract representation of the components necessary for facilitating comparison, integration, and interoperation of software systems composed of agents.

Nixon's administration. It argues that dysfunctional civil-military relations between 1969 and 1972 undermined the implementation of a sound military strategy during the United States' withdrawal from South Vietnam as Nixon attempted to achieve ‘peace with honor’ during the Vietnam War's final campaigns. By 1972, the relationship between the White House and MACV headquarters had reached the nadir of civil-military relations during the Southeast Asian conflict and had served to undercut the United States' ability to effectively disengage from a long and bitterly contested war.

We argue that the rise (and sustainment) of public confidence in the military reflects two phenomena. First, the public has a high regard for the military and its mission, arising from a shift to a professional (nonconscript) force that is perceived to be competent, fair, and accountable. Second, the public has little fear of military abuses in the domestic arena, owing chiefly to the reduced domestic presence of the military in the post-World War II era, with less emphasis on the physical defense of the homeland; and to the military's careful cultivation of an apolitical culture since Vietnam. We conclude with a brief discussion of the military's efforts to develop and encourage public-mindedness among its members, and the challenges to replicating the military approach in other institutional settings.

Design: Baseline localization testing was conducted in three listening conditions (open-ear, in-the-ear (ITE) EMHP, and over-the-ear (OTE) EMHP). Participants then wore either an ITE or OTE EMHP for 12, almost daily, one-hour training sessions. After training was complete, participants again underwent localization testing in all three listening conditions. A computer with a custom software and hardware interface presented localization sounds and collected participant responses. Study sample: Twelve participants were recruited from the student population at Virginia Tech. Audiometric requirements were 35 dBHL at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz bilaterally, and 55 dBHL at 4000 Hz in at least one ear. Results: Pre-training localization performance with an ITE or OTE EMHP was worse than open-ear performance. After training with any given listening condition, including open-ear, performance in that listening condition improved, in part from a practice effect. However, post-training localization performance showed near equal performance between the open-ear and training EMHP. Auditory learning occurred for the training EMHP, but not for the non-training EMHP; that is, there was no significant training crossover effect between the ITE and the OTE devices. Conclusion: It is evident from this study that auditory learning (improved horizontal localization performance) occurred with the EMHP for which training was performed. However, performance improvements found with the training EMHP were not realized in the non-training EMHP. Furthermore, localization performance in the open-ear condition also benefitted from training on the task.

Given this trend, it is important to investigate factors that maximize the effectiveness of this training medium. The present research analyzed the impact of trainee attributes (i.e., prior videogame experience, videogame self-efficacy, and goal orientation) on game-based training outcomes. Participants completed a game-based tactics training exercise. The training exercise used America's Army, a first-person-perspective videogame with a single-player section to introduce game-specific tasks, followed by a multiplayer section where participants form small teams to conduct collaborative missions. Prior to and after the training exercise, participants completed online questionnaires. Results suggest that the trainee attributes, as a set, had a positive impact on trainee motivation, trainee satisfaction, ease in using the training game interface, metacognitive strategies utilized during training, and time spent engaging in the training game. These findings have implications for instructors using videogames as training tools. Recommendations for future research in this area are provided.

We hypothesized that officers with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others would hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the officer's general dispositional resistance to change. As with the earlier cadet results, the findings confirmed the hypothesis for learning orientation but not for trust. Discussion focused on the utility of acquiring a better understanding of an embracing change disposition and on the value of salting individuals with high learning orientations throughout the organization. Additionally, for future research, we consider the importance of employing multiple and diverse methods when exploring the embracing change construct. Such methodological expansion will undoubtedly reduce some conceptual ambiguities associated with the current study.

We examined interview data from two samples of U.S. Army leaders (40 combat veterans and 24 training facilitators). The adaptive behaviors performed most in combat reflected the Deals with Unpredictability and Handles Emergencies dimensions, whereas in training contexts they reflected the Leads Adaptive Teams and Solves Problems Creatively dimensions. The model represented all of the adaptive capabilities; however, the dimensions varied across the samples. To promote adaptability, the leaders recommended developing mental adaptability skills and adaptive teams. SN - 0899-5605 AD - U.S. Army Research Institute, Ft.

UVGI lamps require that radiometric measurements be performed to ensure their safe and effective use. This study evaluates 10 detectors that measure the ultraviolet radiation hazard of low-pressure mercury UVGI lamps, including a polychromator spectroradiometer, narrowband detectors designed to measure the ultraviolet radiation in a short range of wavelengths, and broadband detectors with a varying spectral response designed to follow the UV hazard action spectrum. The angular responses, spectral responses, and linearity of the detectors were measured and compared. The agreement between the measured angular responses and the ideal cosine responses varied widely among the detectors, and in general, the detectors with diffusing optics agreed significantly better with the ideal cosine response. The spectral responses at 254 nm also varied widely among the detectors, and, in general, the narrowband detectors agreed more closely with the 254 nm irradiances measured under the same conditions by a double monochromator spectroradiometer. All detectors displayed good linearity. The angular and spectral response data were then used to develop correction factors for the effective irradiance measurements of two UVGI sources, each measured at 10, 20, and 30 cm. The measured effective irradiances were compared with those measured by a double monochromator spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere input optic. Prior to correction, the effective irradiances measured by the detectors varied widely, ranging from 0.29 to 2.7 times those measured by the spectroradiometer. The application of cosine and spectral response correction factors significantly improved the agreement for the effective irradiances measured by all of the detectors, typically to within 10-20%. Awareness of these detector characteristics can play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of health hazard measurements of UVGI lamps.

Performance feedback is known to contribute to this learning; however, the most effective ways to provide feedback in VEs have not been established. The present study examined the effects of differing feedback content, focusing on adaptive feedback. Participants learned search procedures during multiple missions in a VE. A control group received only a performance score after each mission. Two groups additionally received either detailed or general feedback after each mission, while two other groups received feedback that adapted based on their performance (either detailed-to-general, or general-to-detailed). Groups that received detailed feedback from the start of training had faster performance improvement than all other groups; however, all feedback groups showed improved performance and by the fourth mission performed at levels above the control group. Results suggest that detailed feedback early in the training cycle is the most beneficial for the fastest learning of new task skills in VEs.

Researchers evaluated 46 women who either performed endurance training, resistance training, combined training or no training. They found that participation in resistance training increased total IGF-I and reduced IGFBP-1 concentrations during acute RE, indicating exercise mode-specific adaptations in the circulating IGF-I system.

JO - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy JF - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy Y1 - 2013/05/10/ VL - 38 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 5911 EP - 5917 SN - 03603199 AB - Abstract: Flame control, particularly at very lean conditions, is a critical requirement for external combustion power sources such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators. The availability of in-situ produced hydrogen from JP-8 fuel reforming presents a potential supply of hydrogen at the application site, such as the battlefield, without adding a second fuel to the logistics system. This research investigates the use of small amounts of hydrogen co-fired with JP-8 for improved energy efficiency, operational flexibility and environmental protection. Numerical simulations were conducted in a 6 kW (thermal) swirling flow combustor under different conditions. The simulations use hydrogen and a single hydrocarbon surrogate for JP-8 with a 4-step reaction mechanism. It also examined the effect of using hydrogen-rich reformate containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other gases dual-fired with JP-8. Results showed that at lean conditions, dual firing of hydrogen or reformate with JP-8 provided improved fuel conversion, better flame stability and higher fuel burnout. Dual firing hydrogen-rich reformate and JP-8 led to increased burner capacity, reduced system size and weight requirements. However, dual firing with hydrogen provided little benefit to JP-8 combustion under stoichiometric or fuel rich conditions because they were limited by mixing rather than chemical kinetics. These results indicate that dual firing of hydrogen with JP-8 is a promising method for improving lean flame stability and burner control. This has the potential to enable small scale power applications with specific temperature requirements such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators.

Most models are mainly developed within three decision support frameworks, which are the life-cycle assessment, the cost–benefit analysis and the multi-criteria decision-making. These frameworks are reviewed and their strengths and weaknesses as well as their critical issues are analyzed, while their possible combinations and extensions are also discussed. Furthermore, the paper presents how cooperative and non-cooperative game-theoretic approaches can be used for the purpose of modeling and analyzing decision-making in situations with multiple stakeholders. Specifically, since a waste management model is sustainable when considering not only environmental and economic but also social aspects, the waste management bargaining game is introduced as a specific decision support framework in which future models can be developed.

T1 - Beach response to a fixed sand bypassing system JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 73 M3 - Article SP - 28 EP - 42 SN - 03783839 AB - Abstract: Indian River Inlet is located at roughly the mid-point of the Atlantic coast of Delaware and connects the ocean to two Delaware inland bays. Jetties constructed in 1940 have maintained the inlet for navigation purposes but have also acted as a barrier to net northerly alongshore sediment transport causing downdrift erosion. A mobile, land-based bypassing system was initiated in 1990 in an effort to counteract this erosion. Beach profile data from 1985 (pre-bypassing) until 2008 are used to investigate the effect of the sand bypassing system on beaches adjacent to the inlet. The downdrift beach experienced horizontal shoreline erosion between 10 and 60m during the pre-bypassing period but accreted 10–20m during the bypassing period. The mean shoreline location on the updrift beach during bypassing is 10–20m landward (erosion) of its position during the pre-bypassing period. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) amplitudes from analyses performed on mean-removed elevation surfaces during the periods of highest bypassed volume (average of 83% of design rate) showed that the influence of the bypassing system on the downdrift beach extends to about 1500m of the inlet. An EOF analysis showed that different morphologic responses were evident following the initiation of bypass operations. Temporal variations of shoreline and beach morphology were correlated to the temporal variations in bypassing rates on the downdrift beach only. The downdrift beach response was greatest near the inlet for larger bypassing volumes. Correlation in these instances occurred with a roughly 1-year time lag suggesting that the beach quickly redistributes the bypassed sand. EOF amplitude and shoreline response are weakly correlated to bypassed volumes when the system bypassed smaller volumes (average of 56% of design rate) of sand suggesting that there is a minimum bypassing rate, regardless of yearly variability, below which the effect on the downdrift beach is obscured.

T1 - Multi-criteria decision analysis to select metrics for design and monitoring of sustainable ecosystem restorations JO - Ecological Indicators JF - Ecological Indicators Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 26 M3 - Article SP - 76 EP - 86 SN - 1470160X AB - Abstract: The selection of metrics for ecosystem restoration programs is critical for improving the quality and utility of design and monitoring programs, informing adaptive management actions, and characterizing project success. The metrics selection process, that in practice is left to the subjective judgment of stakeholders, is often complex and should simultaneously take into account monitoring data, environmental models, socio-economic considerations, and stakeholder interests. With limited funding, it is often very difficult to balance the importance of multiple metrics, often competing, intended to measure different environmental, social, and economic aspects of the system. To help restoration planners and practitioners develop the most useful and informative design and monitoring programs, we propose the use of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods, broadly defined, to select optimal ecosystem restoration metric sets. In this paper, we apply and compare two MCDA methods, multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), and probabilistic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (ProMAA), for a hypothetical river restoration case study involving multiple stakeholders with competing interests. Overall, the MCDA results in a systematic, quantitative, and transparent evaluation and comparison of potential metrics that provides planners and practitioners with a clear basis for selecting the optimal set of metrics to evaluate restoration alternatives and to inform restoration design and monitoring. In our case study, the two MCDA methods provide comparable results in terms of selected metrics. However, because ProMAA can consider probability distributions for weights and utility values of metrics for each criterion, it is most likely the best option for projects with highly uncertain data and significant stakeholder involvement. Despite the increase in complexity in the metrics selection process, MCDA improves upon the current, commonly-used ad-hoc decision practice based on consultations with stakeholders by applying and presenting quantitative aggregation of data and judgment, thereby increasing the effectiveness of environmental design and monitoring and the transparency of decision making in restoration projects.

T1 - Simulating mechanisms for dispersal, production and stranding of small forage fish in temporary wetland habitats JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2013/02/10/ VL - 250 M3 - Article SP - 391 EP - 401 SN - 03043800 AB - Abstract: Movement strategies of small forage fish (<8cm total length) between temporary and permanent wetland habitats affect their overall population growth and biomass concentrations, i.e., availability to predators. These fish are often the key energy link between primary producers and top predators, such as wading birds, which require high concentrations of stranded fish in accessible depths. Expansion and contraction of seasonal wetlands induce a sequential alternation between rapid biomass growth and concentration, creating the conditions for local stranding of small fish as they move in response to varying water levels. To better understand how landscape topography, hydrology, and fish behavior interact to create high densities of stranded fish, we first simulated population dynamics of small fish, within a dynamic food web, with different traits for movement strategy and growth rate, across an artificial, spatially explicit, heterogeneous, two-dimensional marsh slough landscape, using hydrologic variability as the driver for movement. Model output showed that fish with the highest tendency to invade newly flooded marsh areas built up the largest populations over long time periods with stable hydrologic patterns. A higher probability to become stranded had negative effects on long-term population size, and offset the contribution of that species to stranded biomass. The model was next applied to the topography of a 10km×10km area of Everglades landscape. The details of the topography were highly important in channeling fish movements and creating spatiotemporal patterns of fish movement and stranding. This output provides data that can be compared in the future with observed locations of fish biomass concentrations, or such surrogates as phosphorus ‘hotspots’ in the marsh.

Methods: A descriptive study using narrative text analysis on 3,944 military vehicle crash narratives. Crash data on drivers, from 2001 to 2006, were assembled from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center. Reviewers collected information on the circumstances of crashes and determined if vehicle technology could have prevented the crash. Results: Nearly 98% of the crashes were nonfatal; 63% occurred in the U.S. and 24% in Iraq. Among crash events where the direction of the impact was recorded, 32% were to the front of the vehicle and 16% involved a vehicle being rear-ended. Rollovers were mentioned in 20% of the narratives. Technology was determined to have the potential to prevent 26% of the crashes, with the forward collision warning system, rear end collision avoidance, emergency brake assistance, and rollover stability control system likely to have the greatest impacts. Conclusions: Some technologies available for civilian vehicles may prevent certain military crash circumstances. Impact on Industry: The results of this research are significant in light of ongoing global military operations that rely on military vehicles. Improving the preventive technology featured on military vehicles may be an effective strategy to reduce the occurrence of military crashes.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 33 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 287 EP - 297 SN - 02755947 AB - The lower portion of the Sacramento River, California, has been highly engineered to protect low-lying surrounding communities from annual flood events. While engineered floodplains have provided adequate protection for the surrounding communities, there remain unintended consequences to migratory fish that become stranded during high flow events. In April 2011, we rescued 24 threatened Green Sturgeon Acipenser medirostris that were stranded in two flood diversions along the Sacramento River. We tagged these 24 Green Sturgeon with acoustic tags and analyzed their survival and migration success to their spawning grounds. Additionally, we provided a population viability analysis to show the potential impacts of stranding and the benefits of conducting rescues at the population level. We found that 17 of these 24 individuals continued their upstream migration to the spawning grounds. Modeling suggests that recurrent stranding of a similar magnitude without rescue could affect the long-term viability of Green Sturgeon in the Sacramento River. Population viability analyses of rescue predicted a 7% decrease below the population baseline model over 50 years as opposed to 33% without rescue. Despite the mitigated impact to the population with rescue, fish passage improvements should be considered as a long-term goal for preventing population risks at flood control diversions.

Specifications and performance of the lithium ion battery were compared with those of a lead acid battery of similar capacity. The lithium ion battery was 76% lighter in weight than the lead acid battery, reducing the overall weight of a Smith-Root model 12 backpack electrofishing unit and battery by 55%. Including the cost of a charger and parts to make the battery compatible with an electroshocking unit, the lithium ion battery and charger cost was 26% less than that of the lead acid battery and charger. Bench tests indicated the lithium ion battery provided 91% and 98% of the operating time of the lead acid battery per charge when the settings were 300 V at 90 Hz and 500 V at 90 Hz, respectively. The fuel gauge (battery discharge indicator) on the lithium ion battery, which was absent in the lead acid battery, provided the ability for a user to assess the remaining charge level while in the field. The lithium ion battery provided similar performance with a significant reduction in weight and cost compared with a conventional lead acid battery for backpack electrofishing. The lighter weight of the backpack electrofishing unit using the lithium ion battery can reduce fatigue and the risk of fatigue-related injuries to field crews.

To improve minor actinide transmutation, a hybrid fuel management scheme is utilized involving initially moderated assemblies on the core periphery followed by a second period of irradiation in a fast flux with the moderating rods removed. A multi-tiered recycling strategy was developed to increase plutonium utilization in the SCHIBR model through the recycle of the driver fuel. An equilibrium fuel cycle was evaluated with the computer code ERANOS to determine the improvements in fuel utilization, reduction in high level waste, and safety of the SCHIBR design. Fuel depletion studies were conducted to determine the composition of input and output streams in order to develop reactor recipes for use in the fuel cycle simulation code, VISION. The once-through SCHIBR model reduces the radiotoxicity of high level waste by 66% of the once-through LWR model after 300 years in storage. The multi-tiered recycling strategy offers improvements over the previous once-through SCHIBR model by reducing the radiotoxicity by 86% after 300 years in storage.

The problems are characterized by the extent of the environmental system involved, dynamic and interdependent nature of stressors and their impacts, diversity of stakeholders, and integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations. IEM provides a science-based structure to develop and organize relevant knowledge and information and apply it to explain, explore, and predict the behavior of environmental systems in response to human and natural sources of stress. During the past several years a number of workshops were held that brought IEM practitioners together to share experiences and discuss future needs and directions. In this paper we organize and present the results of these discussions. IEM is presented as a landscape containing four interdependent elements: applications, science, technology, and community. The elements are described from the perspective of their role in the landscape, current practices, and challenges that must be addressed. Workshop participants envision a global scale IEM community that leverages modern technologies to streamline the movement of science-based knowledge from its sources in research, through its organization into databases and models, to its integration and application for problem solving purposes. Achieving this vision will require that the global community of IEM stakeholders transcend social, and organizational boundaries and pursue greater levels of collaboration. Among the highest priorities for community action are the development of standards for publishing IEM data and models in forms suitable for automated discovery, access, and integration; education of the next generation of environmental stakeholders, with a focus on transdisciplinary research, development, and decision making; and providing a web-based platform for community interactions (e.g., continuous virtual workshops).

To better understand these effects, a field experiment was conducted to measure low-frequency acoustic pulses propagating in an open field, a forest, and passing through a forest edge in both directions. Waveforms measured in the open field were simple impulses with very low scattering, whereas waveforms at the edge and within the forest had stronger reverberations after the direct arrival. The direct wave pulse shapes increased in duration in accordance with the path length in the forest, which had an effective flow resistivity 12 to 13 that of the grassy open field. The measurements exhibit different rates of attenuation in the two regions, with relatively lower attenuation in the open field than higher rates in the forest. Decay of SEL transmitted into the forest was 4 dB more per tenfold distance than for outbound transmission. Stronger attenuation in the 1-2 kHz range occurs when propagating into the forest. While the measured meteorological profiles revealed three distinct microclimates, meteorological effects are not sufficient to explain the apparent non-reciprocal propagation.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 133 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2690 EP - 2698 SN - 00014966 AB - Military installations typically rely on noise complaints to indicate adverse noise environments and often restrict the firing of certain weapons to reduce the number of noise complaints. Using complaints in this manner may also imply that the absence of complaints is an indicator of low community annoyance. The relationship between individual complaints and general community annoyance, however, is currently not established, and it is unknown whether implementing restrictions in reaction to individual complaints is an appropriate or necessary way to reduce community annoyance. This paper looks at whether there are significant differences in reported annoyance to complaint-referenced blast events and general military noise annoyance between those who complain and their non-complaining neighbors. Those who complained were significantly more annoyed to both complaint-referenced blast events and general military noise in comparison to their non-complaining neighbors. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of range management.

For target signatures with large spectral peaks that vary slowly in amplitude and have near constant frequency, the time-varying Doppler shift can be tracked and then removed from the data. The algorithm can be used to preprocess data for classification, tracking, and nulling algorithms. The algorithm was tested on rotorcraft data. The average instantaneous frequency of the first harmonic of a rotorcraft was tracked with a fixed-lag smoother. Then, state space estimates of the frequency were used to calculate a time warping that removed the effect of a time-varying Doppler shift from the data. The algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics in the spectrum of a rotorcraft. The results depended upon the frequency of the harmonics and the processing interval duration. Under good conditions, the results for the fundamental frequency of the target (∼11 Hz) almost achieved an estimated upper bound. The results for higher frequency harmonics had larger increases in the amplitude of the peaks, but significantly lower than the estimated upper bounds.

Fourteen simulation tests using geotextile and geogrid fabrics were conducted to provide an initial evaluation of the performance of this protective system. The ultimate capacity, load-deflection, including the proposed connections of these retrofit systems were determined and recorded in these tests. The tests were conducted by increasing a uniform load (water pressure) in a 1.83 m diameter chamber. The tensile strength of the materials used in the experiments varied from 65 to 328 N/m. It was concluded from the experiments that the proposed system is a viable and a functional means for preventing propagation of wall debris. The primary parameters affecting its functionality were the tensile strength of the fabric and its anchorage into the conventional structure.

Two experiments tested whether this association influences relatively real-world decisions about others by asking participants to act as real estate agents, aiding in the relocation of clients who explicitly or implicitly varied in social status. Across experiments, higher status clients were placed into higher elevation housing options. This influence of social status persisted when strategy-aware participants were removed from analysis, and was not influenced by individual differences in social dominance or locus of control. Abstract concepts of social status are understood through associations with vertical space, and these mapping of abstract concepts to concrete percepts prove influential in guiding daily decisions.

Competencies are unique products or services, often created in the R&D labs, which can penetrate existing markets. Capabilities are the operational ability to deliver those new products and services efficiently, repeatedly and in sufficient volume. Capabilities' and competencies are both required to successfully place a product in the market. These must also be supported by corporate resources to ensure longevity The importance of aligning competencies, capabilities and resources can be explained through the analogy of an axe blade splitting dense wood.

In its native form, innovation starts with observation and experience. Someone notices something valuable and repeats the activity to repeat the rewards. This lead to practices that appear to capture the value noticed in observation. Practices, however, are very limited and not immediately extensible to other businesses, activities or products. Therefore, practices are soon extended into principles, which seem to generalize the important aspects of specific practices. When principles derive from historical data, models attempt to structure this knowledge so that it can be extrapolated to future applications. Finally, theory-based practices replace limited observations with limited theories in describing the most appropriate practices.

The system obtained measurements in the nearshore via a high-resolution Campbell Scientific CSAT3 3D sonic anemometer and five high-frequency saltwater wave staffs. An advantage of the air–sea momentum system is that direct measurements of the atmospheric turbulent fluctuations can be obtained and applied to the calculation of momentum transfer at the air–sea interface. The Campbell Scientific CSAT3 sonic anemometer was postcalibrated under turbulent wind conditions to determine incident wind direction measurements influenced by the geometry of the instrument. Measurement results are compared to a pre-established benchmark, constant tow speed; and the mean wind speed, incident wind direction, and spectral density characteristics are evaluated to resolve specific instrument orientations in which the measurements are corrupted by the head and probe supports of the sonic anemometer. Calibration testing of the sonic anemometer determined that the mean wind speeds are reduced by 16% over a 40° range for incident wind angles of 160°–200° relative to the head of the anemometer. Tilting the anemometer is found to decrease mean wind speed reduction influenced by the geometry of the anemometer. Variations in the measured wind directions were found to be greater than 1° for incident wind angles between 160° and 200° for 0° and 10° of tilt. Spectral characteristics were highly repeatable for all wind angles except for incident wind angles of 180° for 0° and 10° of tilt.

The sediment will be placed in two cells enclosed by earthern berms about 9 m tall and cover about 36 ha. The air registration for the facility poses limits on particulate emissions; however, very little is known of the potential for particulate emissions from hydraulically placed dredged material. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to (1) determine temporal wind erodibility of the sediments; (2) estimate potential particulate emissions from wind erosion during CDF operations; and (3) simulate emission control measures that allow the CDF to comply with allowable emissions. A composite sample of Indiana Harbor sediment was placed in outdoor sediment bins at Manhattan, Kan., and variations in sediment wind erodibility parameters were determined over a 22 month period. In general, sediment erodibility increased with freeze/thaw cycling, but decreased during the summer. Next, the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance and the Primary Consolidation, Secondary Compression and Desiccation of Dredged Fill models were used to determine periods when the CDF cell surfaces would be saturated. Finally, the Wind Erosion Prediction System model was used to estimate potential suspended particulate emissions from the CDF during unsaturated periods. Hydraulic placement of the sediments in the cells will result in a sand bed at the north end of the cells that needs to be stabilized to prevent abrasion of the downwind area. Even with the sand bed stabilized, the simulation results showed that additional erosion control would likely be needed. Snow fences, short barriers, and stabilized strips were simulated as potential erosion controls. The results showed any of these could provide adequate reductions in emissions to meet the target emission levels.

Researchers often turn to estimating survival during the prefledging period and, though effective, mark-recapture based approaches are not always feasible due to cost, time, and animal welfare concerns. Using a threatened population of Piping Plovers ( Charadrius melodus) that breeds along the Missouri River, we present an approach for estimating chick survival during the prefledging period using long-term (1993–2005), count-based, age-class data. We used a modified catch-curve analysis, and data collected during three 5-day sampling periods near the middle of the breeding season. The approach has several ecological and statistical assumptions and our analyses were designed to minimize the probability of violating those assumptions. For example, limiting the sampling periods to only 5 days gave reasonable assurance that population size was stable during the sampling period. Annual daily survival estimates ranged from 0.825 (SD = 0.03) to 0.931 (0.02) depending on year and sampling period, with these estimates assuming constant survival during the prefledging period and no change in the age structure of the population. The average probability of survival to fledging ranged from 0.126 to 0.188. Our results are similar to other published estimates for this species in similar habitats. This method of estimating chick survival may be useful for a variety of precocial bird species when mark-recapture methods are not feasible and only count-based age class data are available. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - RESUMEN. Estimar el éxito reproductivo de aves con polluelos precociales puede ser difícil debido a que los polluelos dejan el nido poco después de eclosionar y los individuos o nidadas pueden ser difíciles de seguir. Los investigadores a menudo estiman la supervivencia durante el periodo pre-volantón y aunque son efectivos, los métodos de marcaje y recaptura no son siempre factibles por razones del costo, tiempo y bienestar del animal. Usando una población amenazada de Charadrius melodus que se reproduce sobre el Río Missouri, presentamos un método para estimar la supervivencia de polluelos durante el periodo pre-volantón usando datos de largo plazo (1993–2005) con clases de edades, basados en conteos. Utilizamos un análisis de curva de captura modificada y datos colectados durante tres periodos de muestreo de cinco días cada uno, cerca del medio de la época reproductiva. Este método tiene algunos supuestos ecológicos y estadísticos y nuestros análisis fueron diseñados para minimizar la probabilidad de violar dichos supuestos. Por ejemplo, limitando los periodos de muestreo a solo cinco días dio el resultado razonable de que el tamaño de la población fue estable durante el periodo de muestreo. Las estimaciones de la supervivencia diaria anual variaron entre 0.825 (DE = 0.03) y 0.931 (0.02), dependiendo del año y periodo de muestreo. Estas estimaciones dependieron de la suposición de una supervivencia constante durante el periodo pre-volantón y de ningún cambio en la estructura de la edad de la población. El promedio de la probabilidad de supervivencia en la etapa pre-volantón varió desde 0.126 hasta 0.188. Nuestros resultados son similares a otras estimaciones publicadas para esta especie en hábitats similares. Este método de estimar la supervivencia de los polluelos podría ser útil para una variedad de especies de aves precociales cuando los métodos de marcaje y recaptura no son factibles y cuando solo están disponibles datos con clases de edades basados en conteos.

SN - 14363240 AB - A common statistical problem is deciding which of two possible sources, A and B, of a contaminant is most likely the actual source. The situation considered here, based on an actual problem of polychlorinated biphenyl contamination discussed below, is one in which the data strongly supports the hypothesis that source A is responsible. The problem approach here is twofold: One, accurately estimating this extreme probability. Two, since the statistics involved will be used in a legal setting, estimating the extreme probability in such a way as to be as generous as is possible toward the defendant’s claim that the other site B could be responsible; thereby leaving little room for argument when this assertion is shown to be highly unlikely. The statistical testing for this problem is modeled by random variables { X i } and the corresponding sample mean $${\bar{X}} = \frac{1}{n}S_{n},\;S_{n} = {\sum\nolimits_{1}^{n} {X_{i}}},$$ the problem considered is providing a bound ɛ for which $$\hbox{Prob} \left({\bar{X}} \geq a_{0} \right) \leq \varepsilon,$$ for a given number a 0. Under the hypothesis that the random variables { X i } satisfy E( X i ) ≤ μ, for some 0 < μ < 1, statistical tests are given, described as “generous”, because ɛ is maximized. The intent is to be able to reject the hypothesis that a 0 is a value of the sample mean while eliminating any possible objections to the model distributions chosen for the { X i } by choosing those distributions which maximize the value of ɛ for the test used.

SN - 10928758 AB - A streamflow-driven gas-liquid transfer rate model was developed. This model was developed in terms of total surface renewal rate and gas diffusion coefficient. The total surface renewal rate was considered to be the sum of the surface renewal rates caused by the turbulence from the air-water interface and that from the water-bed interface. A general mixing length formula and a vertical fluctuation velocity formula was developed to formulate the surface renewal rate. Predictions of this model show good agreements with the measurements in previous studies and the predictions of Churchill's, O'Connor-Dobbins', and Owens-Gibbs' formulae. It was indicated in some previous studies that the existing streamflow-driven gas-liquid transfer rate formulae have limited application ranges. The model developed in this study can be applied for all the normal ranges of flow velocity and water depth in natural rivers, which generalizes and simplifies the applications.

People with PD, their families, scientists, health care providers, and the general public are increasingly interested in identifying environmental contributors to PD risk. METHODS: In June 2007, a multidisciplinary group of experts gathered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, to assess what is known about the contribution of environmental factors to PD. RESULTS: We describe the conclusions around which they came to consensus with respect to environmental contributors to PD risk. We conclude with a brief summary of research needs. CONCLUSIONS: PD is a complex disorder, and multiple different pathogenic pathways and mechanisms can ultimately lead to PD. Within the individual there are many determinants of PD risk, and within populations, the causes of PD are heterogeneous. Although rare recognized genetic mutations are sufficient to cause PD, these account for < 10% of PD in the U.S. population, and incomplete penetrance suggests that environmental factors may be involved. Indeed, interplay among environmental factors and genetic makeup likely influences the risk of developing PD. There is a need for further understanding of how risk factors interact, and studying PD is likely to increase understanding of other neurodegenerative disorders.

SN - 00904341 AB - By comparing the sperm parameters of small rodents trapped at contaminated terrestrial sites and nearby habitat-matched noncontaminated locations, the patent-pending Rodent Sperm Analysis (RSA) method provides a direct health status appraisal for the maximally chemical-exposed mammalian ecological receptor in the wild. RSA outcomes have consistently allowed for as definitive determinations of receptor health as are possible at the present time, thereby streamlining the ecological risk assessment (ERA) process. Here, we describe the unanticipated discovery, at a contaminated US EPA Superfund National Priorities List site, of a population of Hispid cotton rats ( Sigmodon hispidus), with a high percentage of adult males lacking sperm entirely (azoospermia). In light of the RSA method’s role in streamlining ERAs and in bringing contaminated Superfund-type site investigations to closure, we consider the consequences of the discovery. The two matters specifically discussed are (1) the computation of a population’s average sperm count where azoospermia is present and (2) the merits of the RSA method and its sperm parameter thresholds-for-effect when azoospermia is masked in an otherwise apparently healthy rodent population.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 8 EP - 22 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Aspects of northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida panhandle) processes and barrier islands that are pertinent to their geomorphologic response are contrasted with the broader knowledge base summarized by SCHWARTZ (1973) and LEATHERMAN (1979, 1985). Salient findings from studies documenting the short-term (storm-induced; timescales of hours, days, and weeks) and long-term (timescales of years, decades, and centuries) response of barrier island systems in the NGOM are synthesized into a conceptual model. The conceptual model illustrates the hypothetical evolution of three barrier island morphologies as they evolve through a typical Category 1-2 hurricane, including poststorm recovery (days to weeks) and long-term evolution (years to decades). Primary factors in barrier island geomorphologic response to storms, regardless of location, are the elevation of the island relative to storm (surge plus setup) elevation, and duration of the storm. Unique aspects of the NGOM barrier islands, compared with knowledge summarized for other barrier types, include (1) storm paths, wind speed, and large bays that create the potential for both Gulf and bayshore erosion and (2) in Louisiana and Mississippi, the potential for loading of the underlying substrate by the barrier island, which, through time, increases consolidation, relative sea level rise, overwash, morphologic change, and migration. We recommend that design of large-scale beach restoration projects incorporate the potential for (1) time-dependent consolidation of the underlying sediment due to project loading and future migration, (2) Gulf and bayshore erosion and overwash, and (3) eolian transport toward the Gulf from north winds.

JO - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences JF - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences Y1 - 2008/12// VL - 65 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2592 EP - 2605 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 0706652X AB - We used ultrasound imaging and passive integrated transponder (PIT)-tagging programs to assess maturation status and iteroparity patterns in summer-run steelhead (anadromous rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss) of the interior Columbia River Basin (Pacific Northwest, USA). Postspawn kelts examined in downstream fish bypass systems at Columbia River and Snake River dams were disproportionately female (>80%) and majorities were of wild origin, unlike prespawn steelhead at these sites. Annual repeat migration estimates varied from 2.9% to 9.0% for kelts tagged at lower Columbia River dams (n = 2542) and from 0.5% to 1.2% for Snake River kelts (n = 3762). Among-site differences reflected greater outmigration distance and additional dam passage hazards for Snake River kelts. There was also strong evidence for condition-dependent mortality, with returns an order of magnitude higher for good- versus poor-condition kelts. Disproportionately more females and wild fish also returned, providing potentially valuable genetic and demographic benefits for the Columbia River’s threatened steelhead populations. Results overall provide baseline data for evaluating kelt mortality mitigation efforts and basic life history information for steelhead conservation planning.

Les charognards d’après la fraie examinés dans les systèmes de passes migratoires de dérivation vers l’aval aux barrages des rivières Columbia et Snake sont de façon disproportionnée de sexe féminin (>80 %) et la plupart des individus sont d’origine sauvage, contrairement aux truites arc-en-ciel anadromes à ces mêmes sites avant la fraie. Les estimations de l’importance des migrations annuelles répétées varient de 2,9–9,0 % chez les charognards marqués aux barrages du Columbia inférieur (n = 2542) et de 0,5–1,2 % chez les charognards de la Snake (n = 3762). Les différences entre les sites reflètent la plus grande distance de migration vers la mer et les risques additionnels du passage des barrages pour les charognards de la Snake. Il y a aussi de fortes indications de l’existence d’une mortalité reliée à la condition; en effet, les retours sont dix fois plus abondants chez les charognards en bonne condition que chez ceux en mauvaise condition. De façon disproportionnée, il y a aussi plus de retours de femelles et de poissons sauvages, ce qui apporte potentiellement des bénéfices génétiques et démographiques précieux aux populations menacées de truites arc-en-ciel anadromes du Columbia. Globalement, nos résultats fournissent les données de base nécessaires pour évaluer les efforts de mitigation de la mortalité des charognards, ainsi que des informations démographiques fondamentales pour planifier la conservation de la truite arc-en-ciel anadrome.

A seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was established at two firing points (FP), FP-10, and FP-60, and conducted over five years from 2001 through 2005 in response to hantavirus cases among U.S. soldiers. The ecology of these sites consisted primarily of tall grasses associated with semi-permanent and temporary water sources (drainage ditches and a small stream) and dry-land agriculture farming. Eight species of rodents and one species of insectivore were collected, including Apodemus agrarius, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Tscherskia triton, Microtus fortis, Myodes regulus, and Crocidura lasiura. The striped field mouse, A. agrarius, (primary reservoir for Hantaan virus, the causative agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever), was the most frequently collected, representing 90.6% of the 1,288 small mammals captured at both sites. Reported herein are the ecological parameters, seasonal population densities, and seasonal population characteristics associated with small mammals collected at two military training sites in the Republic of Korea.

SNTHERM is a multilayer snow model developed to describe changes in snow properties as a function of depth and time, using a one-dimensional mass and energy balance. The model is intended for seasonal snow covers and addresses conditions found throughout the winter, from initial ground freezing in the fall to snow ablation in the spring. It has been used by many researchers over a variety of terrains. FASST is a newly developed one-dimensional dynamic state-of-the-ground model. It calculates the ground’s moisture content, ice content, temperature, and freeze–thaw profiles as well as soil strength and surface ice and snow accumulation/depletion. Because FASST is newer and not as well known, the authors wanted to determine its use as a snow model by comparing it with SNTHERM, one of the most established snow models available. It is demonstrated that even though FASST is only a single-layer snow model, the RMSE snow depth compared very favorably against SNTHERM, often performing better during the accumulation phase. The surface energy fluxes calculated by the two models were also compared and were found to be similar.

The spatial variability of shortwave irradiance during melt under uniform and discontinuous evergreen canopies at a U.S. Rocky Mountains site was measured, analyzed, and then compared to observations from mountain and boreal forests in Canada. All observations used arrays of pyranometers randomly spaced under evergreen canopies of varying structure and latitude. The spatial variability of irradiance for both overcast and clear conditions declined dramatically, as the sample averaging interval increased from minutes to 1 day. At daily averaging intervals, there was little influence of cloudiness on the variability of subcanopy irradiance; instead, it was dominated by stand structure. The spatial variability of irradiance on daily intervals was higher for the discontinuous canopies, but it did not scale reliably with canopy sky view. The spatial variation in irradiance resulted in a coefficient of variation of melt energy of 0.23 for the set of U.S. and Canadian stands. This variability in melt energy smoothed the snow-covered area depletion curve in a distributed melt simulation, thereby lengthening the duration of melt by 20%. This is consistent with observed natural snow cover depletion curves and shows that variations in melt energy and snow accumulation can influence snow-covered area depletion under forest canopies.

It was the most intensively measured site of the CLPX, and measurements here had the greatest temporal component of all CLPX sites. Measurements made at the LSOS were designed to produce a comprehensive assessment of the snow, soil, and vegetation characteristics viewed by the ground-based remote sensing instruments. The objective of the ground-based microwave remote sensing was to collect time series of active and passive microwave spectral signatures over snow, soil, and forest, which is coincident with the intensive physical characterization of these features. Ground-based remote sensing instruments included frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars operating over multiple microwave bandwidths; the Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer (GBMR-7) operating at channels 18.7, 23.8, 36.5, and 89 GHz; and in 2003, an L-, C-, X- and Ku-band scatterometer radar system. Snow and soil measurements included standard snow physical properties, snow wetness, snow depth transects, and soil moisture. The stem and canopy temperature and xylem sap flux of several trees were monitored continuously. Five micrometeorological towers monitored ambient conditions and provided forcing datasets for 1D snow and soil models. Arrays of pyranometers (0.3–3 μm) and a scanning thermal radiometer (8–12 μm) characterized the variability of radiative receipt in the forests. A field spectroradiometer measured the hyperspectral hemispherical-directional reflectance of the snow surface. These measurements, together with the ground-based remote sensing, provide the framework for evaluating and improving microwave radiative transfer models and coupling them to land surface models. The dataset is archived at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/12// VL - 27 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2539 EP - 2547 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - The present study was aimed at providing data to be used at predicting exposure-based effects of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) aged in soil on endpoint organisms representing two trophic levels. These data can be used to define criteria or reference values for environmental management and conducting specific risk assessment. Long-term exposure tests were conducted to evaluate sublethal toxicity and uptake of aged soil-based explosives, with TNT as the main contaminant. In these tests, plants were exposed for 55 d, and biomass and explosives residues were determined. Worms were exposed for 28 and 42 d, and biomass, number, and tissue residues were determined. Biomass of Lolium perenne significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an effective concentration causing a 20% decrease in biomass (EC20) for TNT metabolites of 3.75 mg/kg was calculated. The concentrations of TNT metabolites in shoots and roots were significantly related to concentrations in soil, as were concentrations of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7- tetrazocine (HMX). The mean bioconcentration factors, indicating the potential of a chemical to accumulate in an organism, were 0.9 for TNT metabolites, 71.8 for RDX, and 12.2 for HMX in L. perenne shoots. Biomass of Eisenia fetida adults significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an EC20 for TNT of 3.70 mg/kg was calculated. The TNT, RDX, and HMX levels in E. fetida were below detection.

Observed offshore flows indicate that wave-driven undertow extends well offshore of the surf zone, over the inner shelves of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. Theoretical estimates of the wave-driven offshore transport from linear wave theory and observed wave characteristics account for 50% or more of the observed offshore transport variance in water depths between 5 and 12 m, and reproduce the observed dependence on wave height and water depth. During weak winds, wave-driven cross-shelf velocity profiles over the inner shelf have maximum offshore flow (1–6 cm s-1) and vertical shear near the surface and weak flow and shear in the lower half of the water column. The observed offshore flow profiles do not resemble the parabolic profiles with maximum flow at middepth observed within the surf zone. Instead, the vertical structure is similar to the Stokes drift velocity profile but with the opposite direction. This vertical structure is consistent with a dynamical balance between the Coriolis force associated with the offshore flow and an along-shelf “Hasselmann wave stress” due to the influence of the earth’s rotation on surface gravity waves. The close agreement between the observed and modeled profiles provides compelling evidence for the importance of the Hasselmann wave stress in forcing oceanic flows. Summer profiles are more vertically sheared than either winter profiles or model profiles, for reasons that remain unclear.

The RDB was seeded with municipal wastewater activated sludge. Removal efficiencies up to 86% and an elimination capacity of 5.3 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) m-3 · hr-1 were achieved at a filter-medium contact time of 60 sec. Efficiency increased at higher temperatures that promote higher biological activity, and decreased at lower pH, which dropped down to pH 5.5 possibly as a result of carbon dioxide and volatile fatty acid production and ammonia consumption during VOC degradation. In comparison, other studies have shown that a bench-scale RDB could achieve a removal efficiency of 95% and elimination capacity of 331 g COD m-3 · hr-1. Sustainable performance of the pilot-scale RDB was challenged by the intermittent nature of painting operations, which typically resulted in 3-day long shutdown periods when bacteria were not fed. This challenge was overcome by adding sucrose (2 g/L weekly) as an auxiliary substrate to sustain metabolic activity during shutdown periods.

Because vertical profiles do not capture the full spatial and temporal variability of the atmosphere, the predictive skill is inherently limited. This study compares bias and root-mean-square (rms) errors for predictions made from the actual mean vertical profiles, approximate vertical profiles based on Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), and profiles for a windless, neutral atmosphere. The errors are calculated by comparing predictions to "ground-truth" data generated by numerically propagating sound through high-resolution large-eddy simulations of the atmosphere. Predictive error; are found to be similar when actual mean and MOST profiles are used. Assuming a windless, neutral atmosphere leads to a large, positive bias errors in upward refraction, but does not affect skill as much in downward refraction. Analyses are presented for single-frequency signals as well as broadband signals (such as impulse events). It is shown that predictive skill improves as bandwidth is increased, particularly for downwind propagation.

A number of Army installations have sought to improve the investigation of complaints by installing monitors specifically designed for measuring impulsive sounds, but the relationship between measured impulse sound levels and noise complaints remains ill-defined. A previous analysis sought to define this relationship but was unable to find corresponding noise measurements for approximately one-third of the complaints. A new study, conducted at the same military installation, has made several technical improvements that have increased the correspondence between noise measurements and complaints. This paper describes the improvements and compares initial findings on the relationship between complaints and blast levels to work previously done.

Population tallies, housing unit totals, and housing values for 1990 and 2000 are examined to determine the extent to which this growth has affected the tornado hazard in northeastern Illinois. The growing town of Plainfield, Ill., located southwest of Chicago, is examined to determine how vulnerability to a tornado impact has changed in the town since an F5 tornado stuck the community in 1990. The population and housing data indicate an increase of 8,629 persons and 3,058 housing units affected if the tornado were to have occurred in 2000 rather than 1990. Estimations of housing value affected by the Plainfield tornado indicate a 50% increase in 2000 compared with 1990 values. In addition to studying the impacts on Plainfield, four other scenarios are examined in suburban Chicago counties using the 1990 Plainfield tornado as a model for a potentially devastating strike. The large increase in total value of homes affected for each scenario highlights the overall increase in wealth throughout the study area, specifically along the urban fringe of development. The physical vulnerability throughout the study area has increased with the rise in population, but the most socially vulnerable areas appear to remain in the older urban centers.

SN - 19397291 AB - Growth chamber studies were conducted using 55-L aquariums to evaluate the efficacy of the herbicide triclopyr and the fungal pathogen Mycoleptodiscus terrestris, applied alone and in combination against Eurasian watermilfoil. Treatments included 0.15, 0.40, and 1.50 mg acid equivalent (ae)/L triclopyr, 0.08, 0.16, and 0.32 ml/L M. terrestris, combinations of both agents at all rates, and an untreated control. Plants were exposed to all treatments for a 24-h contact time and plant biomass (shoot and roots) was recorded 6 wk after application. For both triclopyr and M. terrestris applied alone, plant control increased with treatment concentration. Compared with untreated plants, 1.50 mg/L triclopyr and 0.32 ml/L M. terrestris reduced Eurasian watermilfoil by 100 and 91%, respectively. Lower doses of herbicide or pathogen were less effective and plant recovery was observed from surviving plant tissues (stems and root crowns). Although M. terrestris at 0.08 ml/L did not significantly reduce shoot or root biomass and 0.15 mg/L triclopyr provided only 53% control of plants, combining both agents at these rates reduced Eurasian watermilfoil by 90%. Results demonstrated that integrating low doses of triclopyr with an indigenous pathogen, M. terrestris, can improve control of Eurasian watermilfoil. Lower use rates of triclopyr would minimize impacts to sensitive nontarget vegetation, reduce application costs, and may minimize impacts of label-imposed use restrictions.

However, existing test facilities may not be good replicas of the operational environment, especially for systems with long life cycles that are being used in new and unforeseen situations. Because constructing new test facilities can be expensive and time-consuming, it is desirable to use the existing test infrastructure to replicate the operational environment as closely as possible. This study presents an optimization model that determines the most appropriate amount of testing to conduct using each existing test facility. A multi-objective model is also presented, and the application of this work to two military vehicle tests is discussed.

The model was parameterized at a 30 m grid, then calibrated and validated to three representative thunderstorms. The simulated hydrographs replicated the measurements of peak discharge, runoff volume, and time to peak. The model also calculated sediment yields within ±50% of the field measurements. Resampling the watershed digital elevation model at scales from 30 m to 330 m reduced the land surface slopes and changed the channel topology. In general, very good modeling results are obtained at grid sizes of 30 m and 90 m, which is comparable to the plot sizes of the universal soil loss equation. At grid sizes coarser than 150 m, the sediment source areas became less appropriately depicted and the calculated sediment delivery ratios became unrealistically high.

SN - 15507424 AB - Invading exotics typically face new competitors and an absence of specialized herbivores in their new ranges. Biological control attempts to reunite invasive weeds with coevolved herbivores and restoration can reduce the return of invaders by maximizing competition from native species. The integration of both approaches is seldom examined in detail, although the two should complement each other. We investigated the potential to suppress an important invasive plant, Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense [L.] Scop.), by integrating biological control and competition from two native grasses frequently used in rangeland restoration. We evaluated the impacts of Ceutorhynchus litura F. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a weevil used for Canada thistle biological control, alone and in combination with either needle and thread grass (Hesperostipa comata [Trin. & Rupr.] Barkworth) or alkali sacaton (Sporobolus airoides [Torr.] Torr.) in greenhouse competitive plantings. Weevil herbivory reduced root, but not shoot, biomass of Canada thistle. Competition from H. comata did not reduce biomass of thistles, but combinations of the weevil and H. comata greatly reduced thistle root biomass. S. airoides suppressed Canada thistle root biomass independent of weevils. Weevils had a positive indirect effect on the cool-season grass H. comata, presumably by reducing the competitive ability of thistles, but had no effect on biomass of the warm-season grass, S. airoides. Benefits of weevil presence as an augmentation of grass competition appear to depend on appropriate timing, and weevils provided the most benefit to the cool-season competitor. Our results suggest that restoration efforts can be complemented with insect biocontrol agents, although the timing of impact will depend on the particular weed species, grass competitors, and biocontrol insect agents involved.

El control biológico intenta reunir las malas hierbas con herbívoros co-evolucionados y la restauración puede reducir el retorno de invasores por lograr maximizar la competencia de especies nativas. La integración de ambos métodos es rara vez examinado en detalle, aunque los dos se deberían complementar entre sí. Nosotros investigamos el potencial para suprimir una importante planta invasora, Cardo triguero de Canadá (Cirsium arvense [L.] Scop.) mediante la integración del control biológico y la competencia de dos gramas nativas utilizadas frecuentemente en la restauración de pastizales. Nosotros evaluamos los impactos del Ceutorhynchus litura F. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), un gorgojo utilizado para el control biológico del cardo triguero de Canadá, solo y en combinación con cualquiera de la "needle and thread grass" (Hesperostipa comata [Trin. & Rupr.] Barkworth) ó "alkali sacaton" (Sporobolus airoides [Torr.] Torr.) en plantaciones competitivas de invernadero. La herbivoría del gorgojo redujo la raíz pero no el crecimiento de biomasa del cardo triguero de Canadá. La competencia de H. comata no redujo la biomasa de los cardos, pero las combinaciones del gorgojo y H. comata redujeron grandemente la biomasa de los cardos. Probolus airoides reprimió la biomasa en la raíz del cardo de Canadá independiente de los gorgojos. Los gorgojos tuvieron un efecto positivo indirecto en la hierba de temporada fría H. comata, se supone que por la reducción de la habilidad competitiva de los cardos, pero no tuvo efecto sobre la hierba de temporada cálida, S. airoides. Los beneficios de la presencia del gorgojo como el aumento de la competencia de hierba parecen depender del tiempo apropiado y los gorgojos proveen muchos beneficios al competidor en la temporada fría. Nuestros resultados sugieren que los esfuerzos de restauración pueden ser complementados con agentes entomológicos de biocontrol, aunque el tiempo adecuado del impacto dependerá en las especies particulares de hierba mala, hierbas competidoras y los agentes entomológicos de biocontrol involucrados.

However, Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that wind speed alone cannot reliably describe surge. Herein it is shown that storm size plays an important role in surge generation, particularly for very intense storms making landfall in mildly sloping regions. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, analysis of the historical hurricane record evidenced no clear correlation between surge and storm size, and consequently little attention was given to the role of size in surge generation. In contrast, it is found herein that, for a given intensity, surge varies by as much as 30% over a reasonable range of storm sizes. These findings demonstrate that storm size must be considered when estimating surge, particularly when predicting socioeconomic and flood risk.

This soil is contaminated with explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB, Aroclor 1260), as well as lead. Lime treatment (alkaline hydrolysis) and persulfate oxidation were tested individually and in combination to treat explosives and PCBs. Lime treatment removed 98% of TNT, 75% of DNT, and 80% of PCBs. Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment as well as lime followed by persulfate. The percentage of contaminant removal was found to be independent of initial contaminant concentrations. Treatments of the most contaminated soil did not meet the preliminary remediation goals for explosives or PCBs but would allow for disposal in a nonhazardous waste landfill. Treatment of soil with lower initial concentrations easily met the residential (most stringent) preliminary remediation goals of 16, 61, and 0.22 mg kg-1 for TNT, 2,6-DNT, and PCB (Aroclor 1260), respectively. Neither alkaline hydrolysis nor persulfate oxidation transferred more than 0.02% of the lead from the soil into the reaction waters. Lead was successfully stabilized via phosphate addition.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 579 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a compound used widely in bursting-type munitions, is a concern for the U.S. Department of Defense because it has been detected in soil and groundwater at military installations. Dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from acetone solutions and from two different soils was studied using excised human skin (from surgery) in flow-through diffusion cells. RDX in acetone (10 μL) or in soils (10 mg) was applied to the epidermal surface of the skin (0.64 cm2) and allowed to transverse the skin and become dissolved in a reservoir of receptor fluid that was maintained in contact with the dermal surface. The reservoir was of the flow-through type and receptor fluid was pumped at a rate of 1.5 mL/h. Receptor fluid was collected every 6 h for 24 h. Because the bioavailability of a chemical from soils depends on soil composition, dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from both a low-carbon (1.9%) and a high-carbon (9.5%) soil was assessed. At the conclusion of the experiment, the RDX remaining on the skin was washed with soap and water using cotton swabs, and the radioactivity present in washings was determined. The stratum corneum was removed from the deeper epidermis and radioactivity found in that layer was not considered in calculations of dermal absorption. The dermal absorption of RDX was relatively low. Only about 5.7 ± 1.9% of the RDX that had been applied in acetone was found in the skin (epidermis and dermis) (3.2 ± 1.9) and receptor fluid (2.5 ± 1.8) combined (over the full 24-h duration of the study). The levels of RDX found in the skin layers were stratum corneum 2.1%, epidermis 0.83%, and dermis 0.45%. The total recovery of applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 80%. The extent of RDX absorption from soil was even lower than from acetone. Approximately 2.6 ± 1.1% of the RDX applied in the low-carbon soil and 1.4 ± 0.41% applied in the high-carbon soil was found in receptor fluid and skin in 24 h. The total recovery of the applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 87% for the low-carbon soil and 94% for the high-carbon soil. Thus, the dermal absorption of RDX from soils was reduced considerably when compared with absorption from acetone and absorption was lower in the high-carbon soil than in the low-carbon soil.

Whereas the hydrophobicity and van der Waals interactions of NTs may suggest aggregation and sedimentation in aquatic systems, consideration regarding how engineered surface modifications influence their environmental fate and toxicology is needed. Surface modifications (e.g., functional groups and coatings) are intended to create conditions to make NTs dispersible in aqueous suspension, as required for some applications. In the present study, column stability and settling experiments indicated that raw, multiwalled NTs (MWNTs) settled more rapidly than carbon black and activated carbon particles, suggesting sediment as the ultimate repository. The presence of functional groups, however, slowed the settling of MWNTs (increasing order of stability: hydroxyl > carboxyl > raw), especially in combination with natural organic matter (NOM). Stabilized MWNTs in high concentrations of NOM provided relevance for water transport and toxicity studies. Aqueous exposures to raw MWNTs decreased Ceriodaphnia dubia viability, but such effects were not observed during exposure to functionalized MWNTs (>80 mg/L). Sediment exposures of the amphipods Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca to different sizes of sediment-borne carbon particles at high concentration indicated mortality increased as particle size decreased, although raw MWNTs induced lower mortality (median lethal concentration [LC50], 50 to >264 g/kg) than carbon black (LC50, 18-40 g/kg) and activated carbon (LC50, 12-29 g/kg). Our findings stress that it may be inappropriate to classify all NTs into one category in terms of their environmental regulation.

Embankment slopes range from 10 to 45% with median stone sizes ranging from 23.9 to 104.2 mm (from 0.94 to 4.1 in.). The database was analyzed, yielding a unique expression in which the median size of a round-shaped stone can be predicted as a function of the unit discharge, embankment slope, and coefficient of uniformity. It was determined that the requisite round-shaped stones range from 5 to 42% larger than angular stones to stabilize the riprap layer for similar flow conditions with unit flows of 0.2 cm/s and slopes of 40%. The maximum deviation between rounded and angular-shaped stone may approach 70% as flow and bed conditions are extrapolated.

Similar therapies have historically been used to treat cutaneous thermal and HD injuries; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing may differ between the types of burns. Using microarray analysis, this study assessed the transcriptional responses to cutaneous HD and thermal injury at 48 hours post-exposure to identify molecular networks and genes associated with each type of skin injury. Ventral abdominal sites on each of 4 weanling swine were exposed to 400 μl of undiluted HD or a heated brass rod (70°C) for 8 minutes and 45-60 seconds, respectively. At 48 hours post-exposure, total RNA was isolated from excised skin samples and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Porcine Genome Arrays (containing 20,201 genes). Both HD and thermal exposure promoted significant transcriptional changes where 290 and 267 transcripts were increased and 197 and 707 transcripts were decreased with HD and thermal exposure, respectively. HD- and thermal-injured skin expressed 149 increased and 148 decreased common transcripts. Comparison of the 10 most significantly changed biological functions for HD and thermal exposures identified 7 overlapping functional groups. Canonical pathways analysis revealed 15 separate signaling pathways containing transcripts associated with both HD and thermal exposure. Within these pathways, 5 transcripts (CXCR4, FGFR2, HMOX1, IL1R1, and TLR4) were identified as known targets for existing phase II/III clinical trial or Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. This study is the first to directly assess transcriptional changes in porcine skin subjected to HD or thermal injury over the same time period.

This study was conducted to determine the relative oral bioavailability of RDX in contaminated soil and to develop a method to derive bioavailability adjustments for risk assessments using rodents. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats preimplanted with femoral artery catheters were dosed orally with gelatin capsules containing either pure RDX or an equivalent amount of RDX in contaminated soils from Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) (2300 μ g/g of soil) or Fort Meade (FM) (670 μ g/g of soil). After dosing rats, blood samples were collected from catheters at 2-h intervals (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) and at 24 and 48 h. RDX levels in the blood were determined by gas chromatography. The results show that the peak absorption of RDX in blood was 6 h for neat RDX (1.24 mg/kg) and for RDX from contaminated soil (1.24 mg/kg) of LAAP. Rats dosed with RDX-contaminated FM soil (0.2 mg/kg) showed peak levels of RDX in blood at 6 h, whereas their counterparts that received an identical dose (0.2 mg/kg) of neat RDX showed peak absorption at 4 h. The blood levels of absorbed RDX from LAAP soil were about 25% less than for neat RDX, whereas the bioavailability of RDX from FM soils was about 15% less than that seen in rats treated with neat RDX (0.2 mg/kg). The oral bioavailability in rats fed RDX in LAAP soil and the FM soil was reduced with the neat compound but decrease in bioavailability varied with the soil type.

Many researchers have worked on the development of methods that yield reliable predictions of both sediment transport and morphological change with a minimum of computational burden, so that the long prototype time scales necessary to appropriately investigate these processes can be simulated within a reasonable amount of time. This includes the development of tools for approximating the complex behavior of the sediment concentration in the water column. In this technical note, the classic equilibrium sediment profile first introduced by Rouse is revisited. Following the development of the Rouse profile introduced by Einstein, a generalized nonequilibrium sediment concentration profile is generated. The principal assumption is that the convective term of the nonequilibrium vertical sediment flux can be approximated with the relationship that arises from purely convective transport. The method is compared to numerical solutions for depositional profiles, and appears to yield promising results.

Methods and Results: We prepared and studied spores from several Bacillus species, including four virulent and three attenuated strains of B. anthracis, two Bacillus species commonly used to simulate B. anthracis ( Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus subtilis) and four close neighbours ( Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus stearothermophilus), using identical media, protocols and instruments. We determined the wet densities of all spores by measuring their buoyant density in gradients of Percoll and their dry density in gradients of two organic solvents, one of high and the other of low chemical density. The wet density of different strains of B. anthracis fell into two different groups. One group comprised strains of B. anthracis producing spores with densities between 1·162 and 1·165 g ml−1 and the other group included strains whose spores showed higher density values between 1·174 and 1·186 g ml−1. Both Bacillus atrophaeus and B. subtilis were denser than all the B. anthracis spores studied. Interestingly and in spite of the significant differences in wet density, the dry densities of all spore species and strains were similar. In addition, we correlated the spore density with spore volume derived from measurements made by electron microscopy analysis. There was a strong correlation ( R2 = 0·95) between density and volume for the spores of all strains and species studied. Conclusions: The data presented here indicate that the two commonly used simulants of B. anthracis, B. atrophaeus and B. subtilis were considerably denser and smaller than all B. anthracis spores studied and hence, these simulants could behave aerodynamically different than B. anthracis. Bacillus thuringiensis had spore density and volume within the range observed for the various strains of B. anthracis. The clear correlation between wet density and volume of the B. anthracis spores suggest that mass differences among spore strains may be because of different amounts of water contained within wet dormant spores. Significance and Impact of the Study: Spores of nonvirulent Bacillus species are often used as simulants in the development and testing of countermeasures for biodefense against B. anthracis. The similarities and difference in density and volume that we found should assist in the selection of simulants that better resemble properties of B. anthracis and, thus more accurately represent the performance of countermeasures against this threat agent where spore density, size, volume, mass or related properties are relevant.

Despite the little importance of high-altitude moisture to operational forecasting, it is significant in radiation transfer calculations that affect climate model physics which was discovered to be missing from routine rawinsonde data assimilation for 2006. The rawinsonde coded reports of the World Meteorological Organization from international sites which were using Vaisala rawinsonde systems were affected by this missing parameter. Technological advancements in radiosonde hygristor design have made accurate moisture measurements but the upgrade was not able to meet its target.

SN - 00130001 AB - Overharvest of wild Echinacea species root has been a significant concern to the herbal industry. Harvesters of wild Echinacea angustifolia showed us that even after harvesting the top 15 to 20 cm of root, some plants resprout. We marked locations of harvested plants at sites in Kansas and Montana and reexamined them two years later to see if they resprouted from remaining root reserves. Approximately 50% of the roots resprouted at both Kansas and Montana sampling sites, despite droughty weather conditions in Montana. The length of root harvested significantly affected the ability of the plant to resprout. Those plants that were more shallowly harvested and had less root length removed were more likely to resprout. These data indicate that echinacea stands can recover over time from intensive harvest if periods of non-harvest occur. Our echinacea harvest study emphasizes that the entire biology of medicinal plants must be considered when evaluating their conservation status.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 16 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 324 EP - 335 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - Aboveground Hemiptera and Orthoptera communities were compared among three native and three restored mesic tallgrass prairies along the Platte River in central Nebraska to assess both the relative success of restored sites and the relationship between insect and plant communities. Hemiptera and Orthoptera were sampled using sweep nets in early June, mid-July, and mid-August 2000. Plant species composition was assessed in early June and mid-August. A total of 89 Auchenorrhyncha (71 Cicadellidae, 15 Fulgoroidea, and 3 Membracidae) and 23 orthopterans (15 Acrididae and 8 Tettigoniidae) were collected. Eighty-five plant species were observed in combined study sites. Shannon diversity was significantly higher at restored prairie for Cicadellidae ( H′= 1.38), Fulgoroidea ( H′= 0.796), and Membracidae ( H′= 0.290), which comprised the majority of individual insects collected, but significantly higher at native prairie for Acrididae ( H′= 0.560) and Tettigoniidae ( H′= 0.480) ( p≤ 0.05). Species richness was comparable except for Acrididae which were significantly higher in restored prairie. Density of insects generally followed species diversity but was only significantly higher in restored areas for Membracidae. The number of remnant-dependent species collected was comparable for both native prairie ( n= 15) and restored prairie ( n= 15). These results suggest that, at least for Hemiptera, differences in insect communities between native and restored prairie may best be explained by the presence of insect host plants rather than by whether a site is native or restored.

First, unlike other types of materials, nanomaterials have no standard specification among nanomaterial suppliers, which leads to varying concentrations of metal catalyst. Second, there is no clear standard by which mass concentration drives toxicity at the nanoscale level. Third, the level of experimentation with nanomaterials has resulted in a rapid expansion of potential end-use applications. Fourth, LCA for nanomaterials will result to uncertainty.

Transient flow of water through the confined aquifer was described by a diffusion type of equation with a boundary condition at the river in which the river head varied with time. The transient head distribution developed from the unsteady flow model applied to the aquifer was compared with the hydraulic head distributions obtained from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers steady-state flow model and a finite-element seepage model. This study concluded that the transient flow model has the potential to analyze time lag in head development, and to predict the seepage condition and heaving potential at various times and distances landside of a levee during a flood cycle, but additional case histories are needed to justify widespread use of the model.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 689 EP - 699 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 1093474X AB - Alluvial fans are continuously being developed for residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural uses in southern California. Development and alteration of alluvial fans need to consider the possibility of mud and debris flows from upstream mountain watersheds affected by fires. Accurate prediction of sediment yield (or hyper-concentrated sediment yield) is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general populace. This paper presents a model for the prediction of sediment yields that result from a combination of fire and subsequent storm events. The watersheds used in this analysis are located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California. A multiple regression analysis is first utilized to establish a fundamental statistical relationship for sediment yield as a function of relief ratio, drainage area, maximum 1-h rainfall intensity and fire factor using 45 years of data (1938-1983). In addition, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under fire conditions was developed and calibrated using 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data for the period 1984-2000. After calibration, this model was verified by applying it to provide a prediction of the sediment yields for the 2001-2002 fire events in southern California. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the estimated and measured sediment yields. The proposed method for sequence sediment yield prediction following fire events can be a useful tool to schedule cleanout operations for debris basins and to develop an emergency response strategy for the southern California region where plentiful sediment supplies exist and frequent fires occur.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 27 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1393 EP - 1398 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Since World War I, trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the most commonly used explosive. Environmental contamination associated with synthesis, manufacture of weapons, and use during training exercises has been extensive, with soil concentrations reaching 145,000 mg/kg. Some of these areas include habitats for amphibian species. Earlier studies have shown that salamanders dermally absorb TNT from soil. To ascertain what soil concentrations of TNT are toxic to amphibians, red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) were exposed to one of five concentrations of TNT in soil for 28 d and evaluated for indicators of toxicity. A total of 100 salamanders were randomly sorted by weight and assigned to target TNT concentrations in soil of either 3,000, 1,500, 750, 325, or 0 mg/kg dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Survival was reduced in salamanders exposed to 1,500 and 3,000 mg/kg by 10 and 55%, respectively. Most mortality/morbidity occurred within the first week of exposure. Salamanders had a reduction in hemoglobin at 750 mg/kg or greater and a reduction in red blood cell concentration at 1,500 mg/kg or greater. Food consumption was affected in salamanders at 750 mg/kg or greater; a reduction in body mass and liver glycogen content also occurred at and above this concentration. Splenic congestion also was observed in salamanders from these groups. These data suggest that soil TNT concentrations of 373 ± 41.0 mg/kg or greater result in reduced body mass, reduced feed intake, and hematological effects.

These trashracks are expected to reduce velocity near the powerhouse that is responsible for entraining juveniles into the turbine intake flow. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was used to investigate the forebay hydraulics for the existing and proposed configurations of the intakes. Velocity data from a 1:40 scale physical model and a field program were utilized for model validation. In general, agreements between computed velocities and data were within the variability of field measurements. The model results confirmed the development of low velocity zones adjacent to the powerhouse. Further, the flow field created by the proposed trashracks could aid juveniles in swimming to the downstream end of the powerhouse where the fish bypass system is located.

The results of the present study demonstrate that the miotic potency of soman vapor is significantly less than that of other nerve agents, and that female rats are 2.5-3.0 times more sensitive to soman vapor than male rats. The results also demonstrate that ocular acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities differ between males and females, although this difference is not likely large enough to account for the observed gender difference.

Methods and Results: Plate and microscope counts were compared to measuring the genomic equivalents based on DNA content BA spore suspensions. We developed chemical methods to extract spore DNA and extra-spore (ES) DNA. DNA mass was determined by gel electrophoresis and QPCR assays were developed using the markers on the chromosome (rpoB) and the pXO1 plasmid (pag). The plate counts and microscope counts were very stable (for up to 900 days). The effect of freezing and the presence of additives in samples were tested for up to 300 days, and the results indicated that the additives tested and freezing did not decrease the viability or microscope counts. Conclusions: Bacillus anthracis spore suspensions can be stored for long periods of time without significant loss of viability or clumping. The content of ES DNA was variable and changed with time. Significant and Impact of the Study: The study shows that BA spore suspensions can be developed for reference materials providing a uniform basis for comparing detection equipment and results from different laboratories.

A technique is evaluated for correcting for the effects of turbulence on ballistic testing procedures by using a line of sonic anemometer measurements taken along the trajectory path. The metric used to evaluate the correction is the difference between the target impact scatter produced with and without the use of the anemometers in the trajectory calculations. The improvement in the testing procedure as measured by this metric is determined as a function of the number of sonic anemometers in the line and the sonic averaging time interval. The performance of the simulations is also compared with data from a field test for a standard small-caliber munition, and the predicted and observed target scatter are in good qualitative agreement, supporting the feasibility of the approach.

During hurricane Katrina the levees on the 17th Street Canal failed, leading to breaches in the outfall canal in the city. Two mechanisms were observed in the centrifuge modeling that could cause a breach. First, a water-filled crack formed in front of the floodwall as the water in the canal rose above the top of the levee. The levees on the 17th Street Canal, which were supported on clay foundations, failed when this cracking led to a translational (sliding) failure in the clay layer commencing at the toe of the floodwall. The levees at Orleans Canal North, where failure did not occur, were also modeled to demonstrate that the model tests could successfully simulate failure and nonfailure conditions. The centrifuge model tests identified the importance of the crack formation in relation to the stability of the floodwall. These tests also confirmed that levee geometry, floodwall depth of penetration, and the underlying soil profile were all critical to the performance of the system under flood loading.

Geologic and engineering data gathered from the levee breaches identify a spatially complex geomorphic landscape, caused by Holocene sea level rise, lateral changes in depositional environments, development of Mississippi River delta lobes, and the distributary channels associated with delta development. Overlying the Pleistocene surface beneath New Orleans are predominantly fine-grained, shallow water sediments associated with bay sound (or estuarine), nearshore-gulf, sandy beach, lacustrine, interdistributary, and paludal (marsh and swamp) environments. These environments define the New Orleans area history during the Holocene and comprise the levee foundation beneath the failure areas. A barrier beach ridge is present in the subsurface along the southern shore of Lake Ponchartrain, which blocked the filling of the lake with fluvial-deltaic sediments. This buried beach impacted the supply and texture of sediment being deposited by advancing distributary channels and influenced the engineering properties of these soils. Marsh and swamp soils beneath the failure area at the 17th Street Canal are much thicker in comparison to those beneath the London Avenue Canal failures because of the influence of the beach complex, and are thickest in the Industrial Canal area. Additionally, human activities in the New Orleans area during historic time contributed to the spatial complexity and affected the engineering properties of the foundation soils. These activities include construction of drainage and navigation canals, groundwater pumping, hydraulic filling of the Lake Ponchartrain lake front, and construction of levees to prevent river flooding. Human activities, combined with the geologic setting and subsidence in this region, are responsible for the unique landscape that was impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

The effects of the hurricane were particularly devastating in the city of New Orleans. Most of the damage was due to the failure of the levee system that surrounds the city to protect it from flooding. This paper presents the results of centrifuge models conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers simulating the behavior of the levees at London Avenue North and South that failed during Hurricane Katrina. Those levees failed without being overtopped by the storm surge. Also included are the results of a centrifuge model of one levee section at Orleans Canal South, which did not fail during the hurricane. The key factor of the failure mechanism of the London Avenue levees was the formation of a gap between the flooded side of the levee and the sheetpile. This gap triggered a reduction of the strength at the foundation of the protected side of the levee. The results are fully consistent with field observations.

Respirator experiments were performed according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (NFICO2), standard European (ENFICO2), and a modified method of the European test (BFICO2) using full-facepiece air-purifying respirators and one air-purifying escape respirator. Bland-Altman statistics for determination of limits of agreement were applied to assess agreement among the various test methods. A considerable lack of agreement was found between NFICO2 and ENFICO2 methods and between BFICO2 and NFICO2 methods for average FICO2. The modified EN136 method produced FICO2 averages about 0.13% to 0.23% above unmodified EN136 values, but the agreement between methods was generally acceptable. These results demonstrate that NIOSH and European unmanned test methods for determining respirator average FICO2 concentrations produce different results for like respirators. However, the findings suggest that the ENFICO2 and BFICO2 unmanned methods could be used interchangeably for quantifying respirator FICO2 concentrations.

SN - 0364152X AB - Many “natural” areas are exposed to military or recreational off-road vehicles. The interactive effects of different types of vehicular disturbance on vegetation have rarely been examined, and it has been proposed that some vegetation types are less susceptible to vehicular disturbance than others. At Fort Riley, Kansas, we experimentally tested how different plant community types changed after disturbance from an M1A1 Abrams tank driven at different speeds and turning angles during different seasons. The greatest vegetation change was observed because of driving in the spring in wet soils and the interaction of turning while driving fast (vegetation change was measured with Bray-Curtis dissimilarity). We found that less vegetation change occurred in communities with high amounts of native prairie vegetation than in communities with high amounts of introduced C3 grasses, which is the first experimental evidence we are aware of that suggests plant communities dominated by introduced C3 grasses changed more because of vehicular disturbance than communities dominated by native prairie grasses. We also found that vegetation changed linearly with vehicular disturbance intensity, suggesting that at least initially there was no catastrophic shift in vegetation beyond a certain disturbance intensity threshold. Overall, the intensity of vehicular disturbance appeared to play the greatest role in vegetation change, but the plant community type also played a strong role and this should be considered in land use planning. The reasons for greater vegetation change in introduced C3 grass dominated areas deserve further study.

In this case, the DNL is C-weighted as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council Committee on Hearing, Bioacoustics and Biomechanics (CHABA). CHABA's recommendation was justified by the fact that C-weighting (originally developed for the loudness of intense sounds) measures lower frequency sound energy in large guns which is otherwise missed by A-weighting. When the CHABA methodology was first adopted, there was relatively little night firing, but, today, night vision technology makes firing during darkness an absolute necessity for military readiness. Recognizing that the 10-dB penalty incorporated in the DNL methodology was not intended to predict sleep disturbance and that sleep disturbance may be a function of discrete noise event levels rather than annualaverage noise levels, the U.S.Army Engineer Research and Development Center initiated a project to measure sleep disturbance among people living near tank gunnery ranges.A first step in this project was to evaluate whether a commonlyused instrument for measuring sleep disturbance, the actimeter, would be sensitive to awakenings from blast noise. After preliminary screening of three designs of actimeter, the preferred design was tested in cooperation with the Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine with subjects sleeping inside the Army Research Laboratory's Hostile Environment Simulator. Subjects were exposed to nighttime blasts at two linear peak sound pressure levels (110 dB and 120 dB). The results confirmed that the preferred design would be a reliable and rugged instrument for the actual field study of awakening from live fire.

We assessed the genetic diversity of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler ( Dendroica chrysoparia) across their breeding range in central Texas and evaluated the role of habitat loss and fragmentation in shaping the population structure of the species. We determined genotypes across nine microsatellite loci of 109 individuals from seven sites representing the major breeding concentrations of the species. No evidence of a recent population bottleneck was found. Differences in allele frequencies were highly significant among sites. The sampled sites do not appear to represent isolated lineages requiring protection as separate management units, although the amount of current gene flow is insufficient to prevent genetic differentiation. Measures of genetic differentiation were negatively associated with habitat connectivity and the percentage of forest cover between sites, and positively associated with geographic distance and the percentage of agricultural land between sites. The northernmost site was the most genetically differentiated and was isolated from other sites by agricultural lands. Fragmentation of breeding habitat may represent barriers to dispersal of birds which would pose no barrier to movement during other activities such as migration.

T1 - TOXICITY OF ORAL EXPOSURE TO 2,4,6-TRINITROTOLUENE IN THE WESTERN FENCE LIZARD (SCELOPORUS OCCIDENTALIS). JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 27 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1102 EP - 1111 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Contamination of the soil with the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been found at military sites, many of which are habitats used by reptiles. To provide data useful in assessing ecological risk for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted with the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Oral median lethal dose (LD50) values for TNT in corn oil were 1,038 and 1,579 mg/kg of body weight for male and female lizards, respectively. Overt signs of toxicity included chromaturia, abdominal enlargement, and tremors. A 14-d subacute study followed in which male lizards were orally dosed with TNT (corn oil) at 0, 33, 66, 132, 263, 525, and 1,050 mg/kg of body weight each day. Clinical signs of toxicity, while similar to the LD50 study, were more subtle and noted in lizards receiving TNT amounts of at least 66 mg/kg/d. Chromaturia was an early consistent sign, often preceding the onset of adverse effects. Male lizards in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 3, 15, 25, 35, and 45 mg/kg/d with nearly complete survival (>90%) for lizards in all treatments. Changes in food consumption and body weight were observed at 35 and 45 mg/kg/d. Alterations in hematological end points; blood chemistries (albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, calcium); kidney, spleen, and liver weights; and adverse histopathology were observed in lizards exposed at 25 to 45 mg/kg/d. Testosterone concentration, sperm count, and motility were variable between treatments. Although not significant, incidences of hypospermia and testicular atrophy were observed in some individuals. Together, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 25 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 15 mg/kg/d in S. occidentalis.

As a contribution toward this objective, this paper begins a series that reports on the characteristics and performance of an operational mesogamma-scale weather analysis and forecasting system that has been developed for use by the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command. During the more than five years that this four-dimensional weather system has been in use at seven U.S. Army test ranges, valuable experience has been gained about the production and effective use of high-resolution model products for satisfying a variety of needs. This paper serves as a foundation for the rest of the papers in the series by describing the operational requirements for the system, the data assimilation and forecasting system characteristics, and the forecaster training that is required for the finescale products to be used effectively.

Winds, temperature, and specific humidity were verified for almost 15 000 forecasts at five U.S. Army test ranges using near-surface mesonet data. The primary objective was to use conventional metrics to characterize the degree to which forecast accuracy varies from range to range, within the diurnal cycle, with elapsed forecast time, and among the seasons. It was found that there are large interrange differences in forecast error, with larger errors typically associated with the ranges located near complex orography. Similarly, significant variations in accuracy were noted for different times in the diurnal cycle, but the diurnal dependency varied greatly among the ranges. Factor of 2 differences in accuracy were also found across the seasons.

Examples of three specific applications—a sound propagation model, a missile trajectory model, and a transport and diffusion model—are given, along with accuracy assessments using cases in which observational data are available for verification. Ensembles of application model forecasts are used to derive probabilities of exceedance of quantities that can be used to help range test directors to make test go–no-go decisions. The ensembles can be based on multiple meteorological forecast runs or on spatial ensembles derived from different soundings extracted from a single meteorological forecast. In most cases, the accuracies of the secondary-application forecasts are sufficient to meet operational needs at the test ranges.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 47 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1123 EP - 1139 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 15588424 AB - During the summer months at the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command’s (ATEC) White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), forecasting thunderstorm activity is one of the primary duties of the range forecasters. The safety of personnel working on the range and the protection of expensive test equipment depend critically on the quality of forecasts of thunderstorms and associated hazards, including cloud-to-ground lightning, hail, strong winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and tornadoes. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Auto-Nowcast (ANC) system is one of the key forecast tools in the ATEC Four-Dimensional Weather System (4DWX) at WSMR, where its purpose is to aid WSMR meteorologists in their mission of very short term thunderstorm forecasting. Besides monitoring the weather activity throughout the region and warning personnel of potentially hazardous thunderstorms, forecasters play a key role in assisting with the day-to-day planning of test operations on the range by providing guidance with regard to weather conditions favorable to testing. Moreover, based on climatological information about the local weather conditions, forecasters advise their range customers about scheduling tests at WSMR months in advance. This paper reviews the NCAR ANC system, provides examples of the ANC system’s use in thunderstorm forecasting, and describes climatological analyses of WSMR summertime thunderstorm activity relevant for long-range planning of tests. The climatological analysis illustrates that radar-detected convective cells with reflectivity of ≥35 dBZ at WSMR are 1) short lived, with 76% having lifetimes of less than 30 min; 2) small, with 67% occupying areas of less than 25 km2; 3) slow moving, with 79% exhibiting speeds of less than 4 m s-1; 4) moderately intense, with 80% showing reflectivities in excess of 40 dBZ; and 5) deep, with 80% of the storms reaching far enough above the freezing level to be capable of generating lightning.

JO - Freshwater Biology JF - Freshwater Biology Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 53 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 814 EP - 826 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00465070 AB - 1. Restoration of shallow turbid lakes to promote growth of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) requires knowledge of the environmental factors affecting SAV growth and persistence, and a means to predict the success of SAV reestablishment under different management scenarios to improve these environmental conditions. We used a dynamic ecological modelling approach relating SAV responses to changes in physical and chemical conditions, with information on water level, flow and transparency being provided by hydrodynamic and sediment transport models. 2. The potential persistence of Vallisneria americana was similar under simulated environmental conditions in 1946 and in 1954, as was the potential persistence of Potamogeton pectinatus, indicating that the disappearance of V. americana from Peoria Lake (U.S.A.) previously attributed to an extended spring flood in 1954, may have been related to the combined effects of changes in water level, flow and water transparency as well as possibly other factors. 3. Recent environmental conditions (for 2000) proved not to be conducive for the colonization and persistence potential of V. americana, but would allow colonization by P. pectinatus. The construction of a hypothetical levee along the eastern descending line of the navigation channel in Upper Peoria Lake, which was expected to reduce fetch- and navigation-related turbidity, did not improve the situation for V. americana and overall deteriorated the situation for P. pectinatus. Thus, such a hydraulic alteration, generally considered as beneficial for SAV restoration, may not always be successful. 4. The results of the simulations indicated that the environmental conditions for potential persistence in Peoria Lake were generally less favourable for V. americana than for P. pectinatus. Measures suggested to restore SAV communities in such a lake should aim at reducing concentrations of total suspended solids at the point of inflow by a factor of three to four and limiting fetch- and navigation-related resuspension.

SN - 00068314 AB - Because of rapid forcing by varying cloud and sky conditions, turbulence time series collected in the atmospheric surface layer over land may often be nonstationary. The meteorological community, however, has no consensus definition of what nonstationarity is and, thus, no consensus method for how to identify it. This study, therefore, adopts definitions for first-order and second-order stationarity taken from the time series analysis literature and implements new analysis techniques and probabilistic tests to quantify first-order and second-order nonstationarity. First-order nonstationarity manifests as a change in the series mean; second-order nonstationarity, as a change in the variance. The analysis identifies nonstationarity in surface-level turbulent temperature and water vapour series collected during two sample days with solar forcing influenced by cirrus and cirrostratus clouds, but that nonstationarity is not as severe as expected despite the rapid thermal forcing by these clouds. On the other hand, even with negligible cloud forcing, both sample days exhibited severe nonstationarity at night.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 355 EP - 362 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - Although normally regarded as a vesicant, inhalation of sulphur mustard (HD) vapor can cause life-threatening lung injury for which there is no specific treatment. Novel therapies for HD-induced lung injury are best investigated in an in vivo model that allows monitoring of a range of physiological variables. HD vapor was generated using two customized thermostatically controlled glass flasks in parallel. The vapor was passed into a carrier flow of air (81 L· min-1) and down a length of glass exposure tube (1.75 m). A pig was connected to the midpoint of the exposure tube via a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined endotracheal tube, Fleisch pneumotachograph, and sample port. HD vapor concentrations (40-122.8 mg. m-3) up-and downstream of the point of exposure were obtained by sampling onto Porapak absorption tubes with subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-flame photometric detection. Real-time estimates of vapor concentration were determined using a photo-ionization detector. Lung function indices (respiratory volumes, lung compliance, and airway resistance) were measured online throughout. Trial runs with methylsalicylate (MS) and animal exposures with HD demonstrated that the exposure system rapidly reached the desired concentration within 1 min and maintained stable output throughout exposure, and that the MS/HD concentration decayed rapidly to zero when switched off. A system is described that allows reproducible exposure of HD vapor to the lung of anesthetized white pigs. The system has proved to be robust and reliable and will be a valuable tool in assessing potential future therapies against HD-induced lung injury in the pig. Crown Copyright (c) 2007 Dstl.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 27 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 933 EP - 944 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Sublethal test methods are being used with increasing frequency to measure sediment toxicity, but little is known about the relative sensitivity of these tests compared to the more commonly used acute tests. The present study was conducted to compare the sensitivity of several acute and sublethal methods and to investigate their correlations with sediment chemistry and benthic community condition. Six sublethal methods (amphipod: Leptocheirus plumulosus survival, growth, and reproduction; polychaete: Neanthes arenaceodentata survival and growth; benthic copepod: Amphiascus tenuiremis life cycle; seed clam: Mercenaria mercenaria growth; oyster: Crassostrea virginica lysosome destabilization; and sediment-water interface testing with mussel embryos, Mytilus galloprovincialis) and two acute methods (amphipod survival with Eohaustorius estuarius and L. plumulosus) were used to test split sediment samples from stations in California. The test with Amphiascus proved to be the most sensitive sublethal test and the most sensitive overall, identifying 90% of the stations as toxic. The Leptocheirus 10-d test was the most sensitive of the acute tests, identifying 60% of the stations as toxic. In general, the sublethal tests were not more sensitive to sediments than the acute tests, with the sublethal tests finding an average of 35% of the stations to be toxic while the acute found 44%. Of the sublethal tests, only the Amphiascus endpoints and Neanthes growth significantly (p ≤ 0.05) correlated with sediment chemical concentrations. Poor correspondence occurred between the toxicity endpoints and the indicators of benthic community condition. Differences in test characteristics such as mode of exposure, species-specific contaminant sensitivity, changes in contaminant bioavailability, and influence of noncontaminant stressors on the benthos may have been responsible for variation in response among the tests and low correspondence with benthic community condition. The influence of these factors cannot be easily predicted, underscoring the need to use multiple toxicity methods, in combination with other lines of evidence, to provide an accurate and confident assessment of sediment toxicity.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2008/03// VL - 136 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 833 EP - 864 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - Southern Louisiana is characterized by low-lying topography and an extensive network of sounds, bays, marshes, lakes, rivers, and inlets that permit widespread inundation during hurricanes. A basin- to channel-scale implementation of the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) unstructured grid hydrodynamic model has been developed that accurately simulates hurricane storm surge, tides, and river flow in this complex region. This is accomplished by defining a domain and computational resolution appropriate for the relevant processes, specifying realistic boundary conditions, and implementing accurate, robust, and highly parallel unstructured grid numerical algorithms. The model domain incorporates the western North Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea so that interactions between basins and the shelf are explicitly modeled and the boundary condition specification of tidal and hurricane processes can be readily defined at the deep water open boundary. The unstructured grid enables highly refined resolution of the complex overland region for modeling localized scales of flow while minimizing computational cost. Kinematic data assimilative or validated dynamic-modeled wind fields provide the hurricane wind and pressure field forcing. Wind fields are modified to incorporate directional boundary layer changes due to overland increases in surface roughness, reduction in effective land roughness due to inundation, and sheltering due to forested canopies. Validation of the model is achieved through hindcasts of Hurricanes Betsy and Andrew. A model skill assessment indicates that the computed peak storm surge height has a mean absolute error of 0.30 m.

Third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance: translating state-of-thescience soldier research for operational utility. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S1-S3, 2015-The Third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance (ICSPP) was held on August 18-21, 2014 in Boston, MA, where it had a record attendance of374 registrants from 27 countries. The Congress included 8 invited keynote lectures, 12 symposia, 1 featured science session, more than 200 oral and poster free communication sessions, 8 thematic poster sessions, and a Warfighter Readiness Roundtable. Collectively, the presentations focused on a fundamental premise that soldiers are the center of warfighting capability, and the human service member is the prime resource and key enabler of all warfighting systems. The intent of the ICSPP series is to focus on the soldier—the individual service member. As we move forward with focus placed on the human dimension of soldiering, the key to our scientific success and what will prove to be transformative will be the extent to which we can operationalize and disseminate our scientific knowledge for the benefit of our soldiers on the ground. The Congress fostered important scientific exchange, and dialog centered on improving military physical performance and readiness. As countries around the globe respond to current and emerging threats to their national security, it is increasingly clear that we must ensure optimal human performance of our military personnel. By taking advantage of the science and applications of physical fitness and injury prevention research, we can leverage our increased understanding for the optimal application of physical readiness processes while minimizing the injury risk potential. We believe that the continued scientific and evidence-based dialog across international partners will prove to be transformative in identifying the most effective strategies for human performance optimization in the 21st century. Innovation, leveraging current state-of-the-science, and international partnerships were all key themes throughout the Congress. From the ICSPP scientific program, it was clear that there is abundant scientific knowledge on how to improve soldiers' sleep, activity, and nutrition and that a major challenge is for scientists and military leaders/policy makers to work together to operationalize what is known for soldier utility on the ground.

Nine healthy volunteers completed three experimental trials which consisted of a euhydration (EUH) balance test, a water deficit session and a hypohydration (HYP) balance test. Hypohydration was achieved both by exercise-heat stress to 3% and 5% body mass loss (BML), and by a diuretic to 3% BML. Standing balance was assessed during quiet standing on a force platform with eyes open and closed. With eyes closed, hypohydration significantly decreased medial-lateral sway path and velocity by 13% (bothp < .040). However, 95% confidence intervals for the mean difference between EUH and HYP were all within the coefficient of variation of EUH measures, indicating limited practical importance. Neither Vplasma loss nor Posm increases were associated with changes in balance. We concluded that standing balance was not altered by hypohydration.

Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs.

First, the model is tested for numerical limitations on the higher order bottom slope and curvature terms using idealized cases of a simple depth transition and a symmetric trapezoidal trench, with comparisons of the MMSE to both the traditional mild slope equation (MSE) solution and a shallow water analytic solution. It is demonstrated that the model gives accurate solutions on slopes as steep as 1:1, and that the solutions from all three models agree in the shallow water region. However, for waves in intermediate depths, predicted wave reflection from nearshore depressions is shown to differ significantly between the MMSE and MSE models. Next, geometrical data from a wide range of existing and proposed borrow pits and a submarine canyon are gathered and analyzed for whether wave reflection is an important process near realistic nearshore depressions. The geometric data show that realistic nearshore depressions lie within the tested range of the MMSE model and that borrow pits are generally not in shallow water, which means it is important to use a MMSE-type model to calculate reflection from these features. In addition, storm conditions on average lead to a 50% increase in reflection coefficient in comparison to the mean wave conditions, due to the increase in wave period. Finally, the results also indicate borrow pit design criteria that can be used to ensure minimal reflection.

To enhance the practical applicability of such models, a method is developed to accommodate the effects of rubble mound structures that are frequently found along the sides of harbor entrance channels. The results of this method are found to match those of other mathematical models under appropriate conditions but also to deviate from those of parabolic approximations in some cases as a consequence of increased angular scattering induced by dissipation. Comparison with hydraulic model data also shows that this approach is useful for designing pocket wave absorbers that are used to attenuate wave heights in entrance channels.

JO - Journal of Polymers & the Environment JF - Journal of Polymers & the Environment Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 16 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 15662543 AB - A series of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), all containing 1% nucleating agent but varying in structure, were melt-processed into films through single screw extrusion techniques. This series consisted of three polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and three polyhydroxybutyrate-valerate (PHBV) resins with varying valerate content. Processing parameters of temperature in the barrel (165–173 °C) and chill rolls (60 °C) were optimized to obtain cast films. The gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) results showed a loss of 8–19% of the polymer’s initial molecular weight due to extrusion processing. Modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) displayed glass transition temperatures of the films ranging from −4.6 to 6.7 °C depending on the amount of crystallinity in the film. DSC data were also used to calculate the percent crystallinity of each sample and slightly higher crystallinity was observed in the PHBV series of samples. X-ray diffraction patterns did not vary significantly for any of the samples and crystallinity was confirmed with X-ray data. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) verified the glass transition trends for the films from DSC while loss modulus ( E′) reported at 20 °C showed that the PHBV (3,950–3,600 MPa) had the higher E′ values than the PHB (3,500–2,698 MPa) samples. The Young’s modulus values of the PHB and PHBV samples ranged from 700 to 900 MPa and 900 to 1,500 MPa, respectively. Polarized light microscopy images revealed gel particles in the films processed through single-screw extrusion, which may have caused diminished Young’s modulus and tensile strength of these films. The PHBV film samples exhibited the greatest barrier properties to oxygen and water vapor when compared to the PHB film samples. The average oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) for the PHBV samples was 247 (cc-mil/m2-day) and 118 (g-mil/m2-day), respectively; while the average OTR and WVTR for the PHB samples was 350 (cc-mil/m2-day) and 178 (g-mil/m2-day), respectively. Biodegradation data of the films in the marine environment demonstrated that all PHA film samples achieved a minimum of 70% mineralization in 40 days when run in accordance with ASTM 6691. For static and dynamic incubation experiments in seawater, microbial action resulting in weight loss as a function of time showed all samples to be highly biodegradable and correlated with the ASTM 6691 biodegradation data.

In this article, the authors present a proposed framework for conducting such evaluations through integrating developmental testing, operational testing, and operational performance data into the evaluations. A recent example of the evaluation of a suite of aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems is also discussed, relating the aerial ISR evaluation to the proposed framework.

A specific example discussed in greater detail is Russia's partially successful effort to deter nuclear proliferation in Ukraine in 1993. The economic cost of sanctions is discussed as a key factor, and sanctions imposed by friendly states are seen as more effective than those imposed by hostile states.

Some complex methods are highly accurate and require a lot of input data while others are fairly trivial and less accurate but require minimal input data. Projectile impact point predictors (IPPs) have three primary error sources: model error, parameter error, and initial state error. While model error typically shrinks as model complexity increases, parameter and initial state errors grow with increasing model complexity. Since all input data feeding an IPP are uncertain to some level, the ideal IPP for an overall situation is not clear cut by any means. This paper examines several different projectile IPPs that span the range of complex nonlinear rigid projectile models to simple vacuum point mass models with the intent to better understand relative merits of each algorithm in relation to the other algorithms and as a function of parameter uncertainty and initial state error. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to compute impact point statistics as a function of the range to the target for an indirect fire 155-mm spin stabilized round. For this specific scenario, results indicated neglecting physical phenomena in the formulation of the equations of motion can degrade impact point prediction, especially early in the flight. Adding uncertainty to the parameters and states induces impact point errors that dominate model error contributions. Impact point prediction errors scaled linearly with parameter and state errors. All IPPs investigated converged to the actual impact point as the time at which the estimate took place approached the time of impact.

The model includes the absorption of energy at the elastic reservoir bottom, characterized by the impedance ratio of the sub-bottom materials with respect to water (α). The formulated boundary-value problem is solved in Laplace's domain and subsequently transformed back to the time domain. Response spectra for the hydrodynamic base shear force and overturning moment are constructed for extreme values of the parameter α. It is found that, frequently, including the solid-foundation elasticity in the reservoir model attenuates the resultant hydrodynamic forces on a rigid barrier, as compared to the results for the case of a rigid reservoir foundation. In this case, the elasticity of the sub-bottom materials constitutes an effective energy dissipating mechanism (radiation damping). By contrast, for sub-bottom materials with less-than-water impedance, amplification of the effective earthquake forces is obtained, as compared to the results for the case of a rigid reservoir foundation.

Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing.

However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives-decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)-and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between 'stayers' and 'leavers' after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions.

The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory, research, and practice.

Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed.

Two experiments examined people's ability to detect gradual changes in icon position on a situation awareness map. People observed sequences of icon moves that consisted of ten .9-mm colinear moves or five 8.75-mm colinear moves and reported when they noticed a change. The relatively small moves were less likely to be detected than the relatively large moves; however, an entire sequence of the .9 mm moves was rarely missed. Green icon moves were significantly less likely to be detected than blue or yellow icon moves. This may have been due to the stimulus features of the icons or those features in interaction with the map background. Various methods that might assist icon change detection are discussed.

One assumption is that the majority of soldiers play videogames regularly; however, research by Orvis, Horn, and Belanich (2009) found that only approximately 40% of U.S. Military Academy cadets reported moderate to heavy game-play. Given that cadets may be a special population, this research examines the frequency of videogame usage across the U.S. Army. Results indicate that fewer than 43% of over 10,000 soldiers surveyed play videogames at least weekly. Junior enlisted soldiers report the highest frequency (51-59%), whereas senior enlisted/officer ranks play much less (11-37%). Implications for utilizing serious videogames for military training are discussed.

The few extant studies showed that in-theater and shortly after returning from deployment, reserve and active duty personnel had similar rates of PTSD and related symptoms. Sometime after deployment, reserve personnel reported higher rates of PTSD and related symptoms than active duty personnel. A work stress model is used to develop several possible explanations of findings, having implications for practices to reduce stress symptoms among reservists and for improving research and theory of future studies examining PTSD and related symptoms among reservists.

Soldiers exposed to traumatic stress conditions reported significantly elevated psychological symptoms. Both cognitive appraisal styles and mood states were related to trait resilience. Both appraisal and mood mediated the relationship between trait resilience and psychological adjustment. Current mood states were a significant predictor of psychological adjustment beyond the trait of resilience and aspects of cognitive appraisal. Positive affect did relate to better psychological adjustment even under traumatic stress conditions.

While investigations in such environments are extremely difficult to conduct, such research is essential if we are to understand the functioning of leadership in contexts where leadership matters most. This paper introduces six studies that accepted the difficulties of this kind of research; and examined leadership in various challenging, dangerous contexts. We discuss the contributions of the six papers in terms of three related questions (1) what precisely is leadership in dangerous environments?; (2) what does danger do to leadership?; and (3) what distinguishes effective leadership in dangerous contexts?

Seventy-two soldiers, assigned to an Army division that was conducting combat and civil military operations in northern Iraq, completed a questionnaire that determined to what degree they reevaluated trust in their direct leaders prior to following them into battle and what impact this reconsideration had on the trust they placed in their leaders. Results indicated that the majority of soldiers did reconsider trust in their leaders prior to combat operations, to ensure that they had the competence and character to meet the greater demands of leading in combat. Findings also suggested that the trust leaders developed during peacetime training seemed to transfer to the combat environment and that leaders' abilities emerged as the most influential factor in the development of trust in the high-vulnerability context of combat. The findings have implications for trust models, leader development, leadership, and training of first responders.

Results of multilevel analyses showed that group-level ratings of a family-supportive work climate moderated the negative individual-level link between aggressiveness and marital quality. Findings suggest that the negative association between aggressiveness and perceived marital quality may be influenced by how well the organization fosters a climate that is supportive of married soldiers' family responsibilities. Implications for work climate research and organizational policy in the military are discussed.

SEB binds directly to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells and T-cell receptors on T cells triggering T-cell proliferation and mediator release. SEB is a biothreat agent because of its ability to potently activate cells of the immune system. In vivo animal models are critical in the development of therapeutics against SEB-induced shock. Our results show that three different mouse strains with different susceptibility to SEB can be used to study SEB-induced shock without the use of potentiating agents. The hypothermic response, weight loss, and induction of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 2 (IL-2), and IL-6 correlated with mortality in all three models.

It has also been used experimentally as a pretreatment and/or treatment adjunct to mitigate the toxic sequelae of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agent intoxication. SCP has been reported to increase survival, prevent or terminate seizures, and reduce morbidity from nerve agent intoxication in a number of animal models. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine dose, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pretreatment, and oxime selection on the efficacy of SCP as an adjunctive treatment to enhance survival following lethal nerve agent exposure in guinea pigs. The results indicate that the use of an effective oxime and/or PB pretreatment was a critical factor in determining the efficacy of SCE SCP can also reduce the dose of atropine required for survival against lethal nerve agent intoxication.

Soldiers (n = 524) attending training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas completed self-report questionnaires and a foot assessment, which included measurement of foot size and arch height index. Researchers examined each soldier's running shoes for type, wear pattern, and general condition. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers wore shoes that were inappropriately sized: 56.5% wore shoes that were inappropriate for their foot type. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers had excessively worn shoes and 63% did not know recommended shoe replacement guidelines. Further efforts may be necessary to ensure that soldiers are aware of and compliant with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines. Future research is needed to determine whether adherence to these guidelines has a favorable effect on reducing risk of overuse injury.

The purpose of this review was to determine whether there is evidence-based justification to recommend purchase and promotion of probiotic-containing food in military dining facilities (DFACs). Peer-reviewed literature was searched to identity well-conducted systematic reviews and original research related to the efficacy of probiotics in preventing and/or treating acute infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis, dental health issues, and female urogenital conditions. Probiotics may be useful for preventing and/or treating military-relevant health conditions. However, the available scientific evidence is not sufficient to warrant widespread procurement and promotion of probiotic-containing food items in military DFACs. Health care practitioners considering recommending probiotics should understand that health effects and clinical outcomes discussed herein are specific to the probiotic strain, dose, and method of delivery studied in the articles cited.

This report provides preliminary reliability, validity, and normative data on a modified version of the instrument designed to facilitate data entry with optical scanners, the Evaluation of Risks-Bubble Sheet version (EVAR-B). Methods: 2,015 U.S. Army soldiers completed the EVAR-B and a survey assessing risk-related behaviors 3 months after returning home from combat deployment in Iraq. Results: EVAR-B demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and reliability and correlated significantly with independent measures of self reported risk-taking behavior, including alcohol use and aggressive behavior, in the weeks preceding the survey. Tentative cut-offs significantly differentiated heavy drinkers, dangerous drivers, and soldiers reporting recent aggressive outbursts. Normative data are provided for comparison with future studies. Conclusions: The EVAR-B is a reliable and valid measure of risk-taking propensity, which provides enhanced flexibility for administration and scoring in large surveys and field environments.

Psychological fitness is defined as the integration and optimization of mental, emotional, and behavioral abilities and capacities to optimize performance and strengthen the resilience of warfighters. The present article proposes a military demand-resource (MDR) model as a comprehensive and integrated model of psychological fitness for the total force. The model emphasizes the importance of identifying military-driven and evidence-informed variables, and selecting operational outcome measures for resilience and performance. The model integrates the roles of internal (personal) and external (environmental) resources specifically for developing, sustaining, and restoring psychological resources, similar to the maintenance of physical fitness and health. Equal attention to the psychological component is critical for achieving the mind-body balance as desired in a total force fitness framework for military forces today.

We hypothesized that the latter factor may reflect a stable trait that endures across situations and may influence risk-taking behavior. We developed and validated a 20-item scale, the Invincibility Belief Index (IBI) to measure this construct. The IBI demonstrated good internal consistency and excellent test-retest reliability in the development sample (n = 100) and sustained similar levels of reliability in a cross-validation sample (n = 74). Principal components analysis yielded three orthogonal factors measuring self-perceived impunity (immunity from consequences), boldness/audacity (self-assuredness and competitiveness), and adroitness (mental agility and survival skill). In the prediction of risk taking. IBI scores contributed additional unique variance beyond sensation-seeking scores alone. IBI scores demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity with concurrently administered measures. These preliminary results support the reliability and validity of the IBI as a brief measure of self-perceived vulnerability-invincibility in the face of adversity.

As no validated test exists to diagnose or grade neurocognitive impairment from a concussion, the military currently employs the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation (MACE) in Iraq. This is a two-part test, which incorporates the standardized assessment of concussion (SAC) as its objective score, although it has not been shown to be valid unless administered shortly after injury. A research team deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to examine the validity of several tests of neurocognitive function following a concussion, including the MACE. When administered more than 12 hours after the concussive injury, the MACE lacked sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be clinically useful.

Methods: A descriptive analysis was undertaken to evaluate for DNBI casualty care statistics incurred by a U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team (BCT) during a counterinsurgency campaign of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Results: Of the 4,122 soldiers deployed, there were 1,324 DNBI with 5 (0.38%) deaths, 208 (15.7%) medical evacuations (MEDEVAC), and 1,111 (83.9%) returned to duty. The DNBI casualty rate for the BCT was 257.0/1.000 soldier combat-years. Females, compared with males, had a significantly increased incidence rate ratio for becoming a DNBI casualty 1.67 (95% CI 1.37, 2.04). Of 47 female soldiers receiving MEDEVAC 35 (74%) were for pregnancy-related issues. Musculoskeletal injuries (50.4%) and psychiatric disorders (23.3%) were the most common body systems involved with DNBI casualties. Among the BCT cohort the psychiatric DNBI casualty rate and suicide rate were 59.8 and 0.58 per 1,000 soldier combat-years. The BCT cohort incidence rates for common musculoskeletal injuries per 1,000 combat-years were as follows: ankle sprain 15.3, anterior cruciate ligament rupture 3.3 and shoulder dislocation 1.2. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal injuries and psychiatric disorders accounted for 74% of the total DNBI casualties, and 43% of the DNBI casualties requiring subsequent MEDEVAC. The BCT cohort had a suicide rate nearly four times greater than previously reported, and selected musculoskeletal injury incidence rates were fivefold greater than the general population.

Seventy-three combat arms soldiers were measured pre- and postdeployment. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Strength was measured by single repetition maximum (1-RM) lifts on bench press and squat. Power was assessed by a bench throw and squat jump. Aerobic endurance was evaluated with a timed 2-mile run. Exercise and injury history were assessed by questionnaire. Upper and lower body strength improved by 7% and 8%, respectively (p < 0.001 ). Upper body power increased 9% (p < 0.001) and lean mass increased 3% (p < 0.05). In contrast, aerobic performance declined 13% (p < 0.001) and fat mass increased 9% (p < 0.05). Fewer soldiers participated in aerobic exercise or sports during deployment (p < 0.001 ). Unit commanders should be aware of potential fitness and body composition changes during deployment and develop physical training programs to enhance fitness following deployment.

Methods: The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database was queried for ICD-9 codes 726.32 (lateral epicondylitis) and 726.33 (medial epicondylitis) for the years 1998-2006. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rates (IR) and rate ratios (RR) among demographic groups. Results: The IRs for lateral and medial epicondylitis were 2.98 and 0.81 per 1,000 person-years. For lateral epicondylitis, women had a higher incidence (RR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.19-1.26). In both groups, analysis by age showed higher incidence in the ≥40-year-old group. White compared with black race was a risk factor for both lateral (RR = 1.68, 95% CI, 1.63-1.74) and medial epicondylitis (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.17). Conclusions: Female gender was a risk factor for lateral but not medial epicondylitis. Age greater than 40 and white race were significant risk factors for both conditions.

Methods: Retrospective review using U.S. Military Health System's Theater Medical Data Store and Joint Medical Workstation identified patients evaluated for syncope from January 2005 to October 2007 while deployed to a combat zone. Results: We identified 848 patients with syncope. The majority (80.8%) were under the age of 40. The diagnostic yield of the ECG was 2.0%. In those <40 years, there were no head CTs or transthoracic echocardiograms that identified a cause of syncope. There was no difference in evacuation out of theater between those <40 years and those >40 years (10.8% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.08). Patients with a prior episode of syncope were more likely to undergo medical evacuation outside of the combat zone (16.0% vs. 7.7%, p < 0.01). Discussion: Evacuation of those <40 years to facilities with advanced imaging did not add diagnostic information.

The previous war-time mission of PTs was limited to level III medical care. Recently PTs began providing care at levels I/II with brigade combat teams (BCTs). Purpose: Determine the sentiment of battlefield providers at levels I/II regarding the operational impact of PTs. Methods: Surveys were provided to BCT medical providers. Results: There were 107 responses (response rate of 51%). According to the responses, PTs made a significant impact on overall mission accomplishment (97%) and patient prognosis (83%) and were considered local experts in musculoskeletal pathology (92%), including the ordering of radiographs (79%). Their presence was thought to significantly decrease medical evaluations within theater (68%) and out of theater (73%). Conclusion: There was a positive sentiment toward PTs in the BCT, suggesting they are highly valued. Future studies need to clarify further operational, medical, and fiscal implications.

Hospitalization histories for the entire cohort and Health Risk Appraisal surveys for a subset of 374 soldiers were used to evaluate prewar distress, health, and behaviors. Deployers were less likely to have had any prewar hospitalizations or hospitalization for a condition commonly reported among Gulf War veterans or to report experiences of depression/suicidal ideation. Deployers reported greater satisfaction with life and relationships but displayed greater tendencies toward risk taking, such as drunk driving, speeding, and failure to wear safety belts. Deployed veterans were more likely to receive hazardous duty pay and to be hospitalized for an injury than nondeployed Gulf War-era veterans. If distress is a predictor of postwar morbidity, it is likely attributable to experiences occurring during or after the war and not related to prewar exposures or health status. Postwar excess injury risk may be explained in part by a propensity for greater risk taking, which was evident before and persisted throughout the war.

Unfortunately, as events turned out, the victorious U.S. Army of some 8 million men that had fought in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) rapidly demobilized once the surrender of Germany (and later Japan) had been achieved. This in turn left Germany and much of Western Europe, already devastated by the effects of the war on their soil vulnerable to exploitation and possible invasion by the Soviet Army. Maintaining the peace in Europe was a U.S. military that was but a remnant of the mighty U.S. and British military machine that had defeated the Wehrmacht, that had now been whittled down to a mere occupation or constabulary force.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Slavic Military Studies is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This clinical study assessed the effectiveness of a new oxygen-diffusion dressing (OxyBand; Oxyband Technologies, St. Louis, MO) compared with standard Xeroform gauze dressings (Convidien, Mansfield, MA), in the care of skin-graft donor sites in burn patients. Time to healing was the primary endpoint, and pain scores and cosmetic outcome were also assessed. This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study of burn patients undergoing harvesting of two donor sites. Patients were followed at predetermined time points for 30 to 45 days to determine the time to reepithelialization, cosmetic appearance, and pain. Subjects were adult burn patients with less than 30% TBSA burns admitted to the burn center, who required excision and grafting. Twenty patients were enrolled, of whom 17 completed the study. Average age was 35 years. Average burn size was 9.2% TBSA. Patients underwent harvesting of split-thickness skin grafts with one donor wound dressed with OxyBand and the other dressed in Xeroform gauze. Wounds were inspected and photographed on postoperative days 4 and 8, and then every 2 days until the donor wounds were healed. Pain scores at each site were also collected at these visits (rated by patients on a scale from 0 to 10). Mean time to wound healing for OxyBand was 9.3 ± 1.7 days; for Xeroform, 12.4 ± 2.7 days (P < .001). Pain scores were lower (P < .01) at the OxyBand site compared with the Xeroform site at all time points during postoperative days 4 to 12. There was no difference in the cosmetic outcome of the wounds at 30 to 45 days postoperatively. This study revealed a decrease in the time to healing and in pain at donor sites dressed with an oxygen-diffusion dressing.

METHODS: A convenience sample of HCP was surveyed to assess familiarity with Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), AEFI they were likely to report, methods used and preferred for reporting, and perceived barriers to reporting. We analyzed factors associated with HCP reporting AEFI to VAERS. RESULTS: A total of 547 surveys were distributed with 487 completed and returned for an 89% response rate. The percentage of HCP aware of VAERS (54%) varied by occupation. 47% of respondents identified knowledge of at least one AEFI with only 34% of these indicating that they had ever reported to VAERS. More serious events were more likely to be reported. Factors associated with HCP reporting AEFIs in bivariate analysis included HCP familiarity with filing a paper VAERS report, HCP familiarity with filing an electronic VAERS report, HCP familiarity with VAERS, and time spent on immunization tasks. In a multivariable analysis, only HCP familiarity with filing a paper VAERS report was statistically significant (Odds ratio = 115.3; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Specific educational interventions targeted to military HCP likely to see AEFIs but not currently filing VAERS reports may improve vaccine safety reporting practices.

We conducted a study of sickle cell trait in relation to these outcomes, controlling for known risk factors for exertional rhabdomyolysis, in a large population of active persons who had undergone laboratory tests for hemoglobin AS (HbAS) and who were subject to exertional-injury precautions.Methods: We used Cox proportional-hazards models to test whether the risks of exertional rhabdomyolysis and death varied according to sickle cell trait status among 47,944 black soldiers who had undergone testing for HbAS and who were on active duty in the U.S. Army between January 2011 and December 2014. We used the Stanford Military Data Repository, which contains comprehensive medical and administrative data on all active-duty soldiers.Results: There was no significant difference in the risk of death among soldiers with sickle cell trait, as compared with those without the trait (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 2.13; P=0.97), but the trait was associated with a significantly higher adjusted risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis (hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.12 to 2.12; P=0.008). This effect was similar in magnitude to that associated with tobacco use, as compared with no use (hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.94; P<0.001), and to that associated with having a body-mass index (BMI; the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of 30.0 or more, as compared with a BMI of less than 25.0 (hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.86; P=0.03). The effect was less than that associated with recent use of a statin, as compared with no use (hazard ratio, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.51 to 5.55; P=0.001), or an antipsychotic agent (hazard ratio, 3.02; 95% CI, 1.34 to 6.82; P=0.008).Conclusions: Sickle cell trait was not associated with a higher risk of death than absence of the trait, but it was associated with a significantly higher risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis.

AB - Mayer, Caruso, and Salovey (2016) provide useful updates to the EI ability model and related concepts. However, they do not acknowledge conceptual limitations with the MSCEIT proportion scoring algorithm. In our view, failure to recognize these limitations has impeded refinements to the EI ability model and delayed support for positioning EI within the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) three-stratum theory of intelligence (Carroll, 1993). Fully appreciating algorithm-related issues justifies the reanalysis of MSCEIT data and may expand the range of metrics that are available to refine EI theory.

This article summarizes our findings, suggests applications to risk assessment, and identifies strategic research directions. OBJECTIVE: Our specific objectives were to test whether advanced biological data and methods could better inform our understanding of public health risks posed by environmental exposures. METHODS: New data and methods were applied and evaluated for use in hazard identification and dose -- response assessment. Biomarkers of exposure and effect, and risk characterization were also examined. Consideration was given to various decision contexts with increasing regulatory and public health impacts. Data types included transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics. Methods included molecular epidemiology and clinical studies, bioinformatic knowledge mining, pathway and network analyses, short-duration in vivo and in vitro bioassays, and quantitative structure activity relationship modeling. DISCUSSION: NexGen has advanced our ability to apply new science by more rapidly identifying chemicals and exposures of potential concern, helping characterize mechanisms of action that influence conclusions about causality, exposure -- response relationships, susceptibility and cumulative risk, and by elucidating new biomarkers of exposure and effects. Additionally, NexGen has fostered extensive discussion among risk scientists and managers and improved confidence in interpreting and applying new data streams. CONCLUSIONS: While considerable uncertainties remain, thoughtful application of new knowledge to risk assessment appears reasonable for augmenting major scope assessments, forming the basis for or augmenting limited scope assessments, and for prioritization and screening of very data limited chemicals.

However, in the more recent conflicts over the past two decades, their role in health care delivery as a component of medical stability operations has been largely undefined. The purpose of this study was to explore the types of missions supported by U.S. military dietitians and characterize any unique competencies critical to their success during these missions using an online questionnaire. Sixty-five military dietitians responded to an online questionnaire and 49 (75%) shared their deployment experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations for future training based on 57 deployments from 1975 to 2014. Results indicated that during these deployments nutrition- and dietetics-related competencies were capitalized along with staff positions in support of combat and humanitarian operations. The majority (n = 24; 51%) valued mentorship as a useful resource before deployments followed by field experience (45%) and Web-based training (43%). The authors propose standardized formal training for military dietitians aimed at increasing strategic level awareness of partnerships and collaborations between U.S. Government and interagency organizations; these associations are vital for sustained synchronization of global health efforts.

Increasing prescription drug misuse and poisonings translate into greater utilization of medical resources. Our objective was to describe the incidences of overdoses and their associated events and outcomes following emergency department consult.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on cases evaluated in 2 military hospital emergency departments over 3 years. Subjects were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision codes 960-970. Variables collected included demographics, military service, method of arrival, vital signs, clinical complications, and hospital admission, if overdose was documented as intentional or unintentional and drug ingested.Results: Over 3 years, 342 overdoses were treated. Mean age was 35 ± 19 and gender was 53% female. 47% were active duty and 32% were dependents. 21% of overdoses involved benzodiazepines and 20% opioids. Active duty and benzodiazepine overdoses were more likely to arrive by ambulance (p = 0.0006, p = 0.03), were more likely to have overdosed intentionally (p = 0.02, p = 0.009), and were more likely to be admitted (p = 0.04, p = 0.007). Active duty had a longer length of stay (p = 0.02).Conclusion: Overdoses involving the active duty population and benzodiazepines consume greater military health care resources than other overdoses.

We conducted a secondary analysis of data extracted from two studies on the basis of retrospective reviews of behavioral health records of soldiers deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Of 162 clinical samples, 135 (83%) reported at least one type of childhood adversity. ACE scores ranged from 0 to 9 with a mean of 3 (standard deviation = 2.4) and mode of 0. A total of 65 (40%) experienced four or more ACEs. Parental divorce or separation was the most frequently reported childhood experience and was associated with witnessing domestic violence, having a member of the household abuse substances, and being physically and psychologically abused as a child. A sizeable proportion lived with a household member who had been in prison. Soldiers with an extensive history of ACEs may benefit from additional mentoring from frontline leaders and prevention measures instituted by unit behavioral health personnel.

Understanding baseline measures for normal is an important first step.Objectives: Determine differences in physical performance assessments and describe normative values for these tests based on military unit type.Methods: Assessment of power, balance, mobility, motor control, and performance on the Army Physical Fitness Test were assessed in a cohort of 1,466 soldiers. Analysis of variance was performed to compare the results based on military unit type (Rangers, Combat, Combat Service, and Combat Service Support) and analysis of covariance was performed to determine the influence of age and gender.Results: Rangers performed the best on all performance and fitness measures (p < 0.05). Combat soldiers performed better than Combat Service and Service Support soldiers on several physical performance tests and the Army Physical Fitness Test (p < 0.05). Performance in Combat Service and Service Support soldiers was equivalent on most measures (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Functional performance and level of fitness varied significantly by military unit type. Understanding these differences will provide a foundation for future injury prediction and prevention strategies.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 181 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1114 EP - 1120 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This study examined whether blood fatty acid levels, vitamin D status, and/or physical activity are associated with physical fitness scores; a measure of mood, Patient Health Questionnaire-9; and a measure of resiliency, Dispositional Resiliency Scale-15 in active duty Soldiers. 100 active duty males at Fort Hood, Texas, underwent a battery of psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, and fitness tests, and they also provided fasting blood samples for fatty acid and vitamin D analysis. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. On the basis of these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted depressed mood status in 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that the use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying Soldiers at higher risk for mental health issues. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in Soldiers.

T1 - Evaluation of Virulence Gene Expression Patterns in Acinetobacter baumannii Using Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Array. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 181 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1108 EP - 1113 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - According to the Centers for Disease Control’s recently devised National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii is a “serious” threat level pathogen. A. baumannii’s notoriety stems from the fact that a large number of modern strains are multidrug resistant and persist in the hospital setting, thus causing numerous deaths per year. It is imperative that research focus on a more fundamental understanding of the factors responsible for the success of A. baumannii. Toward this end, our group investigated virulence gene expression patterns in a recently characterized wound isolate, AB5075, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction array. Notably, several genes showed statistically significant upregulation at 37°C compared to 25°C; MviM, Wbbj, CarO, and certain genes of the Bas, Bar, and Csu operons. Additionally, we found that in vitro biofilm formation by Csu transposon insertion mutant strains is attenuated. These findings validate previous reports that suggest a link between the Csu operon and biofilm formation. More importantly, our results demonstrate a successful method for evaluating the significance of previously identified virulence factors in a modern and clinically relevant strain of A. baumannii, thereby providing a path toward a more fundamental understanding of the pathogenicity of A. baumannii.

A total of 35 active duty U.S. Army Soldiers participated in laboratory testing before and after deployment to Afghanistan. The following measures were obtained for each Soldier: shoulder, trunk, hip, knee, and ankle strength and range of motion (ROM), balance, body composition, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic power/capacity. Additionally, Soldiers were asked about their physical activity and load carriage. Paired t tests or Wilcoxon tests with an α = 0.05 set a priori were used for statistical analyses. Shoulder external rotation ROM, torso rotation ROM, ankle dorsiflexion ROM, torso rotation strength, and anaerobic power significantly increased following deployment (p < 0.05). Shoulder extension ROM, shoulder external rotation strength, and eyes-closed balance (p < 0.05) were significantly worse following deployment. The majority of Soldiers (85%) engaged in physical activity. In addition, 58% of Soldiers reported regularly carrying a load (22 kg average). The deployment-related changes in musculoskeletal and physiological characteristics and balance as well as physical activity and load carriage during deployment may assist with proper preparation with the intent to optimize tactical readiness and mitigate injury risk.

Soldiers were asked to self-report injuries sustained in the last 12 months and whether or not they reported those injuries to a medical provider. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze treatment alternatives. Chi-square test was used to assess any significant relationships between injury and various demographics.Results: There were 808 (58%) Soldiers who stated they had an injury that they did not report. Over-the-counter pain relief medication (81%) was the most commonly selected alternative treatment.Conclusion: Over-the-counter pain medication was frequently used for symptom management among Soldiers who did not report their injury to a medical provider.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 181 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 900 EP - 906 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries among Soldiers of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division. A total of 451 subjects (age: 27.6 ± 6.2 years, gender: males 395/451 = 87.6%) volunteered. Musculoskeletal injury data were extracted from subjects' medical charts and injuries that occurred during 1 year were described. Injury frequency, injury anatomic location and sublocation, injury cause, activity when injury occurred, and injury type were described. Injury frequency was 29.5 injuries per 100 subjects per year. Most injures affected the lower extremity (60.2% of injuries) and common anatomic sublocations for injuries were the ankle (17.3%) and knee (15.0%). Frequent causes of injuries were running (13.5%) and direct trauma (9.0%). Physical training was associated with 29.3% of the injuries. A majority of injuries were classified as pain/spasm/ache (29.3%), without further elucidation of pathology. Other frequent injury types were sprain (21.8%) and strain (14.3%). The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running. There is scope for the development of an optimized and targeted physical training program for injury prevention in this population.

Across all four categories, the most affected occupations were identified, among which we chose three Army combat-related military occupational specialties (MOSs) for detailed study. We identified skills needed to perform these MOSs and explored whether MOS-critical deficits could be expected following the injuries.Results: Some DoD occupations are more likely to suffer from these injuries, including Infantry, Combat Operations Control, Artillery/Gunnery, Motor Vehicle Operator, Combat Engineering, and Armor/Amphibious. Within these DoD occupations, we explored three Army combatant MOSs: Infantry (11B), Cavalry Scout (19D), and Artillery (13B), confirming that these jobs are likely to be disrupted by injuries within the four categories.Conclusions: Head and sensory injuries disproportionately affect certain military occupations. Relatively few injuries disrupt combat-related abilities that are job critical (e.g., firearms operation) and job specific (e.g., Artillery gunnery problems); these should be the focus of efforts to improve rehabilitation and RTD outcomes.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 181 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 756 EP - 766 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Dengue, one of the most widespread infectious diseases, has affected U.S. military readiness throughout history. We explored the dengue diagnosis capability gap by circulating a questionnaire among military end users to determine in what capacity diagnostic test results are needed and how these results would be used at various roles of care in the Military Health System. Results were used to generate target product profiles for potential diagnostic tests. We determined that at far-forward locations, diagnostic tests need to be rugged and easy to use and are primarily needed to inform medical evacuation decisions. In mobile or fixed hospitals, diagnostics can be less portable but must be accurate enough to inform patient care decisions reliably. We then evaluated the suitability of using rapid diagnostic tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on published performance characteristics, and we used a model to determine positive and negative predictive values in certain simulated deployments. In far-forward settings, a rapid diagnostic test comprising both antigen- and antibody-based detection can fulfill the capability gap with reasonable accuracy, whereas at higher roles of care immunoglobulin M-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was determined to be the most suitable option.

Clinicians use large volumes of data that are condensed in time, but separated across resources, to care for patients. Correctly designed health information technology (IT) systems may help clinicians to treat these patients more efficiently, accurately, and reliably. We report on a 3-year project to design and develop an ecologically valid IT system for use in a military BICU.Methods: We use a mixed methods Cognitive Systems Engineering approach for research and development. Observations, interviews, artifact analysis, survey, and thematic analysis methods were used to reveal underlying factors that mold the work environment and affect clinician decisions that may affect patient outcomes. Participatory design and prototyping methods have been used to develop solutions.Results: We developed 39 requirements for the IT system and used them to create three use cases to help developers better understand how the system might support clinician work to develop interface prototypes. We also incorporated data mining functions that offer the potential to aid clinicians by recognizing patterns recognition of clinically significant events, such as incipient sepsis. The gaps between information sources and accurate, reliable, and efficient clinical decision that we have identified will enable us to create scenarios to evaluate prototype systems with BICU clinicians, to develop increasingly improved designs, and to measure outcomes.Conclusion: The link from data to analyses, requirements, prototypes, and their evaluation ensures that the solution will reflect and support work in the BICU as it actually occurs, improving staff efficiency and patient care quality.

Limited data have been reported on analgesic administration en route, and no study has reported analgesic use by CCATTs. Our objective was to describe analgesics used by CCATTs for nonintubated, critically ill patients during evacuation from a combat setting.Methods: We conducted an institutional review board-approved, retrospective review of CCATT records. We included nonintubated, critically ill patients who were administered analgesics in flight and were evacuated out of theater (2007-2012). Demographics, injury description, analgesics and anesthetics, and predefined clinical adverse events were recorded. Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation or percentage (%).Results: Of 1,128 records, we analyzed 381 subjects with the following characteristics: age 26 ± 7.0 years; 98% male; and 97% trauma (70% blast, 17% penetrating, 11% blunt, and 3% burn). The injury severity score was 19 ± 9. Fifty-one percent received morphine, 39% hydromorphone, 15% fentanyl, and 5% ketamine. Routes of delivery were 63% patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), 32% bolus intravenous (IV) administration, 24% epidural delivery, 21% continuous IV infusions, and 9% oral opioids. Patients that were administered local anesthetics (nerve block or epidural delivery) with IV opioids received a lower total dose of opioids than those who received opioids alone. No differences were associated between analgesics and frequency of complications in flight or postflight.Conclusion: About half of nonintubated, critically ill subjects evacuated out of combat by CCATT received morphine and more than half had a PCA. In our study, ketamine was not frequently used and pain scores were rarely recorded. However, we detected an opioid-sparing effect associated with local anesthetics (regional nerve blocks and epidural delivery).

The objective of this study was to identify associations between preflight variables and outcomes that could assist planning of ongoing critical care.Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study included all patients evacuated from Afghanistan by CCATT between 2007 and 2011. Preflight variables were assessed for associations and examined in logistic regression models. Ventilator time over 72 hours, and 30-day mortality were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively.Results: 1,308 trauma patients (24 years, 98% male) were included; 72% blast. Injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), preflight packed red blood cell units transfused (OR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]), and preflight intubated status (OR = 11.9 [8.53-16.89]) were independently associated with increased ventilator days; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.85 with 86% sensitivity and 56% specificity. Injury severity score (OR = 1.06 [1.03-1.09]), prothrombin time (OR = 2.13 [1.18-4.47]), preflight intubated status (OR = 9.2 [1.88-166.11]), and whole blood (OR = 3.18 [1.38-7.04]) were associated with 30-day mortality; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.84 with 71% sensitivity and 57% specificity.Conclusion: In our large CCATT study a number of preflight variables were associated with outcomes, which may assist in the future planning of critical care services.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/05/02/May2016 Supplement VL - 181 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 116 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: Ibuprofen is commonly used by warfighters in the deployed environment. This study investigated its dose effects on in vitro coagulation in human and pig blood.Methods: Blood samples were collected from 6 normal volunteers and 6 healthy pigs and processed to make platelet-adjusted samples (100 × 10(3)/μL, common transfusion trigger in trauma). Ibuprofen was added to the samples at concentrations of 0 μg/mL (control), the concentration from the highest recommended oral dose (163 μg/mL, 1×), and 2×, 4×, 8×, 10×, 12×, 16×, and 20×. Platelet aggregation by Chrono-Log aggregometer and coagulation by rotational thrombelastogram (Rotem) were assessed at 15 minutes after the addition of ibuprofen.Results: A robust inhibition of ibuprofen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed at all doses tested in human or pig blood. Collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was inhibited starting at 1× in human blood and 4× in pig blood. Rotem measurements were similarly compromised in pig and human blood starting at 16×, except clot formation time was prolonged at 1× in human blood (all p < 0.05).Conclusion: Ibuprofen inhibited platelet aggregation at recommended doses, and compromised coagulation at higher doses. Human blood was more sensitive to ibuprofen inhibition. Further effort is needed to investigate ibuprofen dose responses on coagulation in vivo.

The thickness of the CNT sheet was found to have a significant impact on the radiation performance of the patch antenna due to the material skin depth, with an \sim 5.5-dB improvement to the realized gain achieved when the CNT sheet thickness was increased from 0.5 \mum to 5 \mum, likely due to lower surface impedance. The 5 \mum-CNT sheet patch antenna exhibited 2.1-dBi total realized gain compared with 5.6-dBi realized gain for baseline copper patch antenna yielding a 3.5-dB reduction attributable to the material substitution. A unique polarization sensitivity behavior was seen by adjusting the alignment of the CNTs within the CNT sheet patch structure. Optimal RF performance was observed when the CNTs within the sheet material were aligned with the E-plane of the patch antenna. When the CNT alignment was orthogonal to that of the E-plane of the patch antenna, the realized gain was reduced by over 8 dB. The input reactance changes from inductive to capacitive due to the geometry and alignment of the CNTs within the patch.

The PZT-on-silicon resonators rely on the odd harmonics of the contour length-extensional modes to provide a convenient means for voltage and current transformations with a single layer of piezoelectric PZT. The resistive-load-dependent voltage gains and efficiencies are derived along with the peak efficiencies and open circuit voltage gains. The models of efficiency and voltage gain are compared to the experimental measurements of fabricated PZT-on-silicon piezoelectric transformers with 2, 4, and 10 \mum of device silicon. The resonant frequencies of the devices range between 14 and 19 MHz. Peak efficiencies as high as 62% are measured and open circuit voltage gains as high as 5.7 are extracted from the measurements. The measured efficiencies with 50-\Omega loads compare within 14% of the models on average (25% peak error). The extracted open-circuit voltage gains and their models compare within 22% on average (67% peak error). The trade between the load-dependent efficiencies and voltage gains are also presented for the n=3, 5, 9, and 13 harmonics. \hfill[2012\-0339] [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

An effective strategy for speckle reduction is to use a dictionary that can sparsely represent the features in the speckled image. However, such approaches fail to capture important salient features such as texture. In this paper, we present a speckle reduction algorithm that handles this issue by formulating the restoration problem so that the structure and texture components can be separately estimated with different dictionaries. To solve this formulation, an iterative algorithm based on surrogate functionals is proposed. Experiments indicate the proposed method performs favorably compared to state-of-the-art speckle reduction methods.

While the advantage of using multiple sources of information for establishing the identity has been widely recognized, computational models for multimodal biometrics recognition have only recently received attention. We propose a multimodal sparse representation method, which represents the test data by a sparse linear combination of training data, while constraining the observations from different modalities of the test subject to share their sparse representations. Thus, we simultaneously take into account correlations as well as coupling information among biometric modalities. A multimodal quality measure is also proposed to weigh each modality as it gets fused. Furthermore, we also kernelize the algorithm to handle nonlinearity in data. The optimization problem is solved using an efficient alternative direction method. Various experiments show that the proposed method compares favorably with competing fusion-based methods.

One-dimensional beam analysis is conducted using the rotorcraft comprehensive analysis system with variational asymptotical beam sectional analysis calculated two-dimensional cross-sectional properties. Three-dimensional finite element analysis is conducted using a commercial code MSC/Marc. Natural frequencies are calculated at various rotor rotational speeds, and the differences are quantified. There is very good agreement between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses for free-free aluminum beams, even for a very short beam with beam length five times chord (L = 5 x c). The one-dimensional analysis accurately captures the planform variation near the root for an aluminum beam. In general, the differences between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses occur when there is coupling, either generated from geometry (tip sweep) or material (composite), especially for high-frequency modes. Without coupling, the one-dimensional analysis appears to capture free vibration characteristics of various advanced geometry beams and blades reasonably well for at least the six lowest frequency modes when the beam length is greater than 10 times chord.

First, the aeroelastic stability of a typical section representative of a control surface on a hypersonic vehicle is examined. Variability in the uncoupled natural frequencies of the system is modeled using beta probability distributions. Uncertainty in the flutter Mach number is computed using stochastic collocation. Next, the stability of an aerodynamically heated panel representing a component of the skin of a hypersonic vehicle is considered. In this case, uncertainty is due to the location of transition from laminar to turbulent flow and the heat flux prediction. The effect of propagating these uncertainties on vehicle behavior is determined. For both cases, uncertainty is treated using stochastic collocation, which is a new and effective approach for incorporating uncertainty in this class of problems.

Over the past decade, attrition rates in the Army have averaged between 25% and 30% during first-term periods of enlistment. Historically, the services have relied on education credentials, with special emphasis on possessing a high school diploma, as a primary indicator of completion rates after enlistment and as a proxy for the ability to adapt to a military lifestyle. A primary purpose of this paper is to describe Army research to develop new indicators of adaptability to augment the current system based on education credentials. This work has focused primarily on noncognitive, personality measures and how such measures can be combined with other existing measures for attrition screening during enlistment processing. These advances represent a new paradigm that relies less heavily on education credentials and can provide a more comprehensive and inclusive approach. This new approach incorporates advances in testing methodology to make it more viable for use in large-scale, high-stakes testing applications.

As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one's term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one's term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. This effect was significant throughout a 3-year period. This work adds to our understanding of attrition by highlighting the role of confidence and ambivalence. Implications for strategies to reduce attrition are discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems JF - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems J1 - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems PY - 2014/04// Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 50 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 940 EP - 958 SN - 00189251 AB - This paper presents a simple yet very effective time-domain sparse representation and associated sparse recovery techniques that can robustly process raw data-intensive ultra-wideband (UWB) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) records in challenging noisy and bandwidth management environments. Unlike most previous approaches in compressed sensing for radar in general and SAR in particular, we take advantage of the sparsity of the scene and the correlation between the transmitted and received signal directly in the raw time domain even before attempting image formation. Our framework can be viewed as a collection of practical sparsity-driven preprocessing algorithms for radar applications that restores and denoises raw radar signals at each aperture position independently, leading to a significant reduction in the memory requirement as well as the computational complexity of the sparse recovery process. Recovery results from real-world data collected by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) UWB SAR systems illustrate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed framework on two critical applications: 1) recovery of missing spectral information in multiple frequency bands and 2) adaptive extraction and/or suppression of radio frequency interference (RFI) signals from SAR data records.

The proposed algorithm is compared with coherent change detection for three moving target scenarios. It is shown that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces imaging artifacts while preserving the moving target signature.

The US military used HI strikes during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, but the use of HI strikes became controversial with the US public during the Vietman War because the rounds were likely to hit nonmilitary targets, creating civilian casualties. Nevertheless, HI strikes were stopped not because of the frequent resulting collateral damage to civilians (as claimed by the army leadership) but because of budgetary concerns and the perception that HI was not cost-efficient.

The mechanized cavalry forces, a total of twenty-seven separate squadrons organized into thirteen cavalry groups, uniquely possessed a blend of mobility, firepower, communications, and dismounted combat ability that was essential to the operational success of American field armies and corps. Mobility, combined with firepower and communications, enabled operational commanders to cover large expanses of terrain with an economy of force. The economy of force ability of the cavalry, and its ability to dismount and fight as infantry, were critical to mitigating the Army's crippling shortage of infantry units and replacements as the campaign progressed. Cavalry units, primarily the corps cavalry groups, permitted commanders to concentrate infantry at critical points, still have a continuous front, and continue offensive operations. The combat capabilities of mechanized cavalry mitigated the risk caused by the lack of density and depth in the cavalry portions of the front. The ability of mechanized cavalry leaders to order "Dismount!" to conduct operations on the ground was one of the important capabilities that enabled Eisenhower's broad-front strategy and was crucial to the success of the American Army in the European Theater.

Traditional theories of German national development have identified three foci for post-World War II development, the Geopolitics of Nostalgia that seeks to return German national identity to an era prior to World War II, Zero Point thinking that seeks to build a new Germany from the ashes of World War II and critical preservation has sought to preserve some Nazi landscapes in an effort to facilitate discussion on the controversial era. Being an East German city, however, Dresden was isolated from the development of West German identity This paper examines the ways in which East German (GDR) memory has been dealt with in the landscape. Buildings and themes of the GDR have been disavowed, modified, or removed from the center of the city. The new Dresden is a city that has minimal clues to either its Nazi or East German past. It is being presented as a city with one eye on its proud, pre-Nazi and Soviet, history and one eye on its future potential. This demonstrates the diffusion of West German models of nationalism into the East after unification.

While this idea of cosmopolitanism differs from Kant's one-world law, it creates situations where cosmopolitan ideas or nascent cosmopolitanism exist as a result of these multiple identities. Through connections developed from the importation of various goods, such as ceramics, ideas of taste are expanded, which provides opportunities and intensification of access to the global economy for a contested periphery. This article will combine historical and archaeological data to demonstrate the possibility of nascent cosmopolitanism within La Florida at the end of the of the first Spanish period in the 18th century.

Design and Methods: Sixty-five African American older adults residing in the Southeastern US participated in a qualitative descriptive study involving criterion sampling, open-ended semi-structured interviews, qualitative content analysis, and descriptive statistics. Results: Religion expressed through song was a coping strategy for participants experiencing stressful life events who described feelings of being comforted, strengthened, able to endure, uplifted, and able to find peace by turning to the types of religious songs described here. Five types of songs were used including those evoking Thanksgiving and Praise, Instructive, Memory of Forefathers, Communication with God, and Life after Death. Implications: Religious songs are an important form of religious expression important to the mental health of older African Americans. The incorporation of religious songs into spiritual care interventions might enhance the cultural relevance of mental health interventions in this population.

Suicide-related ideation, which is associated with suicide attempts and suicide, can cause considerable distress. In a sample of 1,663 recently redeployed soldiers, we used factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test the associations between combat exposure, unit cohesion, and their interaction in predicting suicide-related ideation. We found that combat exposure was a significant risk factor for suicide-related ideation, while unit cohesion was a significant protective factor. The significant interaction between the two factors indicated that soldiers who experienced greater combat exposure but also had higher levels of unit cohesion had relatively lower levels of suicide-related ideation. In addition, those who had higher levels of combat exposure and lower unit cohesion were most at risk for suicide-related ideation. Our findings indicate the importance of unit cohesion in protecting soldiers from suicide-related ideation and suggest a higher risk group of soldiers who should be targeted for interventions.

The application is unique to decision analysis in that we utilize a common constructed scale and single-dimensional value function for all attributes to match the natural framework of model users and based on operability concerns. Additionally, we discuss model validation in both the terms of decision analysis and psychometrics in models that are used for repeated or routine assessments and thus generate significant quantities of data. We highlight visualization of data for use to support mentoring and personnel decisions to better train, assign, retain, promote, and separate current personnel. Last, we address common cultural concerns related to performance appraisals in organizations by offering a method to standardize ratings and hold raters accountable for their responsibility to mentor subordinates as well as identify their performance to the larger organization.

Due to their high toxicity, suitable methods to quantify palytoxins are needed. Thus, we developed an indirect sandwich ELISA for palytoxin and 42-hydroxy-palytoxin. An intralaboratory study demonstrated sensitivity (limit of detection, LOD = 1.1 ng/mL; limit of quantitation, LOQ = 2.2 ng/mL), accuracy (bias of 2.1%), repeatability (RSDr = 6% and 9% for intra- and interassay variability, respectively) and specificity: other common marine toxins (okadaic acid, domoic acid, saxitoxin, brevetoxin-3, and yessotoxin) do not cross-react in this assay. It performed well in three different matrices: observed LOQs were 11.0, 9.6, and 2.4 ng/mL for mussel extracts, algal net samples and seawater, respectively, with good accuracy and precision. The LOQ in seafood is 11 μg palytoxin/kg mussel meat, lower than that of the most common detection technique, LC-MS/MS.

In contrast, live-attenuated vaccines have the advantage of inducing rapid, robust, long-term immunity after a single-dose vaccination. Here we describe novel iDNA vaccine technology that is based on an infectious DNA platform and combines advantages of DNA and live attenuated vaccines. We applied this technology for vaccination against infection with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), an alphavirus from the Togaviridae family. The iDNA vaccine is based on transcription of the full-length genomic RNA of the TC-83 live-attenuated virus from plasmid DNA in vivo. The in vivo-generated viral RNA initiates limited replication of the vaccine virus, which in turn leads to efficient immunization. This technology allows the plasmid DNA to launch a live-attenuated vaccine in vitro or in vivo. Less than 10ng of pTC83 iDNA encoding the full-length genomic RNA of the TC-83 vaccine strain initiated replication of the vaccine virus in vitro. In order to evaluate this approach in vivo, BALB/c mice were vaccinated with a single dose of pTC83 iDNA. After vaccination, all mice seroconverted with no adverse reactions. Four weeks after immunization, animals were challenged with the lethal epidemic strain of VEEV. All iDNA-vaccinated mice were protected from fatal disease, while all unvaccinated controls succumbed to infection and died. To our knowledge, this is the first example of launching a clinical live-attenuated vaccine from recombinant plasmid DNA in vivo.

The barrier function to water permeation following exposure to liquid SM for 8min and excision 3h later did not change significantly. A small, but statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in steady state penetration (Jss), permeability coefficient (Kp) and lag time (t L) of 3H2O was observed between fresh skin and skin stored frozen (−20°C) for up to two weeks. Steady-state penetration and Kp values were significantly higher (P <0.05) in skin stored frozen compared with fresh skin. Fresh naïve skin had an average Kp of 1.65×10−3 cmh−1, whereas frozen naïve skin was 2.04×10−3 cmh−1. Fresh SM exposed skin had a mean Kp of 1.72×10−3 cmh−1, whereas frozen SM exposed skin was 2.31×10−3 cmh−1. Lag times were also shorter (P <0.05) in skin that had been stored frozen. Frozen, SM-exposed porcine abdominal skin may be used for in vitro penetration studies, but effects of treatment and storage on the barrier layer should be taken into account.

In the first paper, we presented the machine-learning framework ML_EMO_HEV, which was developed for learning the knowledge about energy optimization in an HEV. The framework consists of machine-learning algorithms for predicting driving environments and generating the optimal power split of the HEV system for a given driving environment. In this paper, we present the following three online intelligent energy controllers: 1) IEC_HEV_SISE; 2) IEC_HEV_MISE ; and 3) IEC_HEV_MIME. All three online intelligent energy controllers were trained within the machine-learning framework ML_EMO_HEV to generate the best combination of engine power and battery power in real time such that the total fuel consumption over the whole driving cycle is minimized while still meeting the driver's demand and the system constraints, including engine, motor, battery, and generator operation limits. The three online controllers were integrated into the Ford Escape hybrid vehicle model for online performance evaluation. Based on their performances on ten test drive cycles provided by the Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit library, we can conclude that the roadway type and traffic congestion level specific machine learning of optimal energy management is effective for in-vehicle energy control. The best controller, IEC_HEV_MISE, trained with the optimal power split generated by the DP optimization algorithm with multiple initial SOC points and single ending point, can provide fuel savings ranging from 5% to 19%. Together, these two papers cover the innovative technologies for modeling power flow, mathematical background of optimization in energy management, and machine-learning algorithms for generating intelligent energy controllers for quasioptimal energy flow in a power-split HEV.

However, urban growth and land use change models typically omit park location and allocation issues when simulating changing urban environments. This paper introduces a method for exploring the spatial allocation of urban parks (public, recreational open spaces) given differing municipal and county investment decisions. Park planning literature has established level of service metrics as rough indicators of provision of public park amenities that are useful guides for future park investment decisions within a given jurisdiction. In this study, we create a dynamic-demand location model that simulates political feedback from population growth and LOS metrics to allocate new parklands (∼0.5ha≤neighborhood parks≤∼4ha) in multi-jurisdictional urbanizing regions. We frame parks as a new development type that augments residential development currently driving a version of the Regional Urban Growth (RUG) urban simulation model, an open source, raster-based simulation platform. Our approach allows planners and researchers to explore urban patterns and distributive outcomes associated with different local open space requirements and investment choices. We illustrate this approach under scenarios for the rapidly growing, three-county Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill region of North Carolina, USA. We test varying delays in park planning, purchase, and construction, varying maximum park sizes, and the effects of increased investment levels in two jurisdictions within our study area. This model suggests that the most important aspect of successful park planning is the length of the lag time between residential and park development. Perhaps the most successful park planning strategy is to plan parks along with residential areas.

To determine if the MMs are related to specific meteorite groups, we analyzed their relict olivines and low-Ca pyroxenes and compared them with olivines and pyroxenes we analyzed in various meteorites: an enstatite chondrite (EH3), a suite of carbonaceous chondrites (CM2, CR2, CV3.2, CO3.0, and CO3.2), an ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite (Tagish Lake), various unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (H3.2, L3.7, LL3.0, LL3.2, LL3.3), and a Rumuruti chondrite (R3.5/5 breccia). Mg-rich olivines are the most common relict mineral in the MMs studied (42%), followed by Fe-rich olivines (16%), Mg-rich low-Ca pyroxenes (15%), and MMs containing both Mg-rich olivine and low-Ca pyroxene (13%). If one corrects for the effects of atmospheric heating on the proportion of olivines and pyroxenes, then 59% of MMs are related to carbonaceous chondrites, 22% to ordinary chondrites (mostly unequilibrated, UOCs), and 19% to a high-Mn group. Results of textural observations suggest that four MMs resemble chondrules from CO3 carbonaceous chondrites, and one is a shock-melted H chondrite. MMs from the high-Mn group appear to have crystallized from a melt and might be fragments of chondrule-like objects similar to those found in comet 81P/Wild 2.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/12/04/ VL - 46 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 12814 EP - 12822 SN - 0013936X AB - Sorption site selectivity and mechanism in natural organic matter (NOM) were addressed spectroscopically by the sorption of paramagnetic nitroxyl compounds (spin probes) of different polarity, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) and HTEMPO (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). The sorbents were Pahokee peat, Beulah-Zap lignite, and a polystyrene–poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PS-PVME) polymer blend representing the mixed aliphatic–aromatic, polar–nonpolar character of NOM. Nuclear-electron spin interaction serves as an efficient relaxation pathway, resulting in attenuation of the 13C–CP/TOSS NMR signal for 13C nuclei in proximity to the N–O· group (r–6 dependence). In the natural solids the spin probes sorbed more specifically (greater isotherm nonlinearity) and had lower rotational mobility (broader electron paramagnetic resonance signals) than in PS-PVME. Titration with spin probe indicated almost no selectivity for the different carbon functional groups of PS-PVME, and little to no selectivity for the different carbon moieties of Pahokee and Beulah, including aromatic, alkyl, O-alkyl, di-O-alkyl, and O-methyl. In any case, sorption site selectivity of spin probes to NOM was always weaker than partition selectivity found in model solvent–water (toluene, hexadecane, anisole, octanol) and cellulose–water systems. The results indicate little or no preferential sorption in NOM based on functional group chemistry or putative microdomain character, but rather are consistent with the filling of pores whose walls have an average chemical environment reflecting the bulk chemical composition of the solid. This work demonstrates for the first time the use of paramagnetic probes to study sorption specificity.

In situ snow measurements of water equivalent, depth and density collected from field surveys during 1996–2004 snow seasons were collocated with gridded SSM/I brightness temperatures. Sub-grid lake fraction was computed from a high-resolution land cover map derived from LANDSAT imagery. Another dataset was created consisting of multi-year time series of SSM/I and AMSR-E brightness temperatures and computed lake fraction. Consistent with other studies, it was found that lake fraction was negatively correlated with in situ snow depth and snow water equivalent and positively correlated with snow density, which indicates that lakes have a direct effect on snow cover distribution: They accumulate less but denser snow than surrounding land areas. Additionally, lake fraction was positively correlated with the brightness temperature measurements at 18GHz and above, but negatively correlated with the AMSR-E brightness temperatures at low frequency channels (6 and 10GHz), with the highest correlation values for the SSM/I (r=0.57) and AMSR-E (r=0.65) at 37GHz dominating the response. Brightness temperature-based lake fraction algorithms were derived using stepwise regression. Performance assessment showed that the AMSR-E algorithm was superior to the SSM/I algorithm due to the use of the low frequency measurements not available from the SSM/I instrument. Combined lake fraction- and SSM/I brightness temperature-based snow depth and snow water equivalent algorithms were also derived using stepwise regression, with improved performance compared to conventional brightness temperature-based algorithms.

T1 - Genetic Barcodes for Improved Environmental Tracking of an Anthrax Simulant. JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 78 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 8272 EP - 8280 SN - 00992240 AB - The development of realistic risk models that predict the dissemination, dispersion and persistence of potential biothreat agents have utilized nonpathogenic surrogate organisms such as Bacillus atrophaeus subsp. globigii or commercial products such as Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Comparison of results from outdoor tests under different conditions requires the use of genetically identical strains; however, the requirement for isogenic strains limits the ability to compare other desirable proper-ties, such as the behavior in the environment of the same strain prepared using different methods. Finally, current methods do not allow long-term studies of persistence or reaerosolization in test sites where simulants are heavily used or in areas where B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki is applied as a biopesticide. To create a set of genetically heterogeneous yet phenotypically indistin-guishable strains so that variables intrinsic to simulations (e.g., sample preparation) can be varied and the strains can be tested under otherwise identical conditions, we have developed a strategy of introducing small genetic signatures (“barcodes”) into neutral regions of the genome. The barcodes are stable over 300 generations and do not impact in vitro growth or sporulation. Each barcode contains common and specific tags that allow differentiation of marked strains from wild-type strains and from each other. Each tag is paired with specific real-time PCR assays that facilitate discrimination of barcoded strains from wild-type strains and from each other. These uniquely barcoded strains will be valuable tools for research into the environmental fate of released organisms by providing specific artificial detection signatures.

In all cases, we found strong evidence that route planners disproportionately select south- rather than north-going routes at rates exceeding chance. We conclude that the southern route preference is driven by strong associations between canonical direction and perceived effort of route traversal; these effects are somewhat perplexing given that such associations are not founded in the reality of physical space.

To understand the toxicology of these alloys, male F344 rats were intramuscularly implanted with pellets of tungsten/nickel/cobalt, tungsten/nickel/iron, or pure tungsten, with tantalum pellets as a negative control. Between 6 and 12months, aggressive rhabdomyosarcomas formed around tungsten/nickel/cobalt pellets, while those of tungsten/nickel/iron or pure tungsten did not cause cancers. Electron microscopy showed a progressive corrosion of the matrix phase of tungsten/nickel/cobalt pellets over 6months, accompanied by high urinary concentrations of nickel and cobalt. In contrast, non-carcinogenic tungsten/nickel/iron pellets were minimally corroded and urinary metals were low; these pellets having developed a surface oxide layer in vivo that may have restricted the mobilization of carcinogenic nickel. Microarray analysis of tumors revealed large changes in gene expression compared with normal muscle, with biological processes involving the cell cycle significantly up‐regulated and those involved with muscle development and differentiation significantly down‐regulated. Top KEGG pathways disrupted were adherens junction, p53 signaling, and the cell cycle. Chromosomal enrichment analysis of genes showed a highly significant impact at cytoband 7q22 (chromosome 7) which included mouse double minute (MDM2) and cyclin‐dependant kinase (CDK4) as well as other genes associated with human sarcomas. In conclusion, the tumorigenic potential of implanted tungsten alloys is related to mobilization of carcinogenic metals nickel and cobalt from corroding pellets, while gene expression changes in the consequent tumors are similar to radiation induced animal sarcomas as well as sporadic human sarcomas.

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 77 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - H231 EP - H238 SN - 00221147 AB - The objective of the study was to investigate the absorption of quercetin aglycone in 18 healthy human subjects administered via the following oral carrier systems: suspension of quercetin (quercetin QU995 powder in Tang® and spring water), nutritional bars (First Strike™), and chews (RealFX™ Q-Plus™). Subjects were divided into 3 groups of 6 individuals each receiving 500 mg quercetin in one of the aforementioned formulations. Blood levels were monitored immediately pre- and for 32 h postadministration. The concentration of total quercetin in blood samples was determined by solid phase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by noncompartmental modeling using Kinetica software. The Cmax of quercetin was highest with RealFX™ Q-Plus™ Chews (1051.9 ± 393.1 μg/L) achieved within 3.3 h as compared to that for First Strike™ Bars (698.1 ± 189.5 μg/L in 2.3 h) and Tang® suspension (354.4 ± 87.6 μg/L in 4.7 h). The results showed no statistically significant difference in quercetin absorption among groups due to high variability within groups receiving quercetin from same dosage form. This study represents the first comprehensive evaluation of quercetin absorption from quercetin fortified oral food products at doses commonly used for quercetin supplementation. Practical Application: The current study describes for the first time, comprehensive evaluation of quercetin PK in humans from quercetin fortified oral food products at doses commonly used for quercetin supplementation. Owing to quercetin's potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, quercetin is widely being used as a nutritional supplement. In order to maximize the bioavailability of quercetin for its use in efficacy studies, it is important to determine its ideal oral carrier system and route for its delivery. The current research unveils vital information about quercetin supplementation to the international community, especially to soldiers, athletes, and the dietary supplement industry.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 194 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 5749 EP - 5758 SN - 00219193 AB - As previously reported, gerP Bacillus subtilis spores were defective in nutrient germination triggered via various germinant receptors (GRs), and the defect was eliminated by severe spore coat defects. The gerP spores' GR-dependent germination had a longer lag time between addition of germinants and initiation of rapid release of spores' dipicolinic acid (DPA), but times for release of >90% of DPA from individual spores were identical for wild-type and gerP spores. The gerP spores were also defective in GR-independent germination by DPA with its associated Ca2+ divalent cation (CaDPA) but germinated better than wild-type spores with the GR-independent germinant dodecylamine. The gerP spores exhibited no increased sensitivity to hypochlorite, suggesting that these spores have no significant coat defect. Overexpression of GRs in gerP spores did lead to faster germination via the overexpressed GR, but this was still slower than germination of comparable gerP+ spores. Unlike wild-type spores, for which maximal nutrient germinant concentrations were between 500 µM and 2 mM for L-alanine and ≤10 mM for L-valine, rates of gerP spore germination increased up to between 200 mM and 1 M L-alanine and 100 mM L-valine, and at 1 M L-alanine, the rates of germination of wild-type and gerP spores with or without all alanine racemases were almost identical. A high pressure of 150 MPa that triggers spore germination by activating GRs also triggered germination of wild-type and gerP spores identically. All these results support the suggestion that GerP proteins facilitate access of nutrient germinants to their cognate GRs in spores' inner membrane.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 141 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1637 EP - 1648 SN - 00028487 AB - Multimetric indexes constructed by summing metric scores have been criticized despite many of their merits. A leading criticism is the potential for investigator bias involved in metric selection and scoring. Often there is a large number of competing metrics equally well correlated with environmental stressors, requiring a judgment call by the investigator to select the most suitable metrics to include in the index and how to score them. Data-driven procedures for multimetric index formulation published during the last decade have reduced this limitation, yet apprehension remains. Multivariate approaches that select metrics with statistical algorithms may reduce the level of investigator bias and alleviate a weakness of multimetric indexes. We investigated the suitability of a direct-gradient multivariate procedure to derive an index of biotic condition for fish assemblages in oxbow lakes in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Although this multivariate procedure also requires that the investigator identify a set of suitable metrics potentially associated with a set of environmental stressors, it is different from multimetric procedures because it limits investigator judgment in selecting a subset of biotic metrics to include in the index and because it produces metric weights suitable for computation of index scores. The procedure, applied to a sample of 35 competing biotic metrics measured at 50 oxbow lakes distributed over a wide geographical region in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley, selected 11 metrics that adequately indexed the biotic condition of five test lakes. Because the multivariate index includes only metrics that explain the maximum variability in the stressor variables rather than a balanced set of metrics chosen to reflect various fish assemblage attributes, it is fundamentally different from multimetric indexes of biotic integrity with advantages and disadvantages. As such, it provides an alternative to multimetric procedures.

The collected data are then used to extrapolatethe effects on humans and determine initial dose regimens for clinicaltrials. The underlying assumption is that the severity of the toxiceffects in animals is correlated with that in humans. However, thereis a general lack of toxic correlations across species. Thus, it ismore advantageous to predict the toxicological effects of a compoundon humans directly from the human toxicological data of related compounds.However, many popular quantitative structure–activity relationship(QSAR) methods that build a single global model by fitting all trainingdata appear inappropriate for predicting toxicological effects ofstructurally diverse compounds because the observed toxicologicaleffects may originate from very different and mostly unknown molecularmechanisms. In this article, we demonstrate, via application to thehuman maximum recommended daily dose data that locally weighted learningmethods, such as k-nearest neighbors, are well suitedfor predicting toxicological effects of structurally diverse compounds.We also show that a significant flaw of the k-nearestneighbor method is that it always uses a constant number of nearestneighbors in making prediction for a target compound, irrespectiveof whether the nearest neighbors are structurally similar enough tothe target compound to ensure that they share the same mechanism ofaction. To remedy this flaw, we proposed and implemented a variablenumber nearest neighbor method. The advantages of the variable numbernearest neighbor method over other QSAR methods include (1) allowingmore reliable predictions to be achieved by applying a tighter moleculardistance threshold and (2) automatic detection for when a predictionshould not be made because the compound is outside the applicabledomain.

T1 - Induction of pulmonary mucosal immune responses with a protein vaccine targeted to the DEC-205/CD205 receptor JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2012/10/05/ VL - 30 IS - 45 M3 - Article SP - 6359 EP - 6367 SN - 0264410X AB - Abstract: It is of great interest to develop a pneumonic plague vaccine that would induce combined humoral and cellular immunity in the lung. Here we investigate a novel approach based on targeting of dendritic cells using the DEC-205/CD205 receptor (DEC) via the intranasal route as way to improve mucosal cellular immunity to the vaccine. Intranasal administration of Yersinia pestis LcrV (V) protein fused to anti-DEC antibody together with poly IC as an adjuvant induced high frequencies of IFN-γ secreting CD4+ T cells in the airway and lung as well as pulmonary IgG and IgA antibodies. Anti-DEC:LcrV was more efficient to induce IFN-γ/TNF-α/IL-2 secreting polyfunctional CD4+ T cells when compared to non-targeted soluble protein vaccine. In addition, the intranasal route of immunization with anti-DEC:LcrV was associated with improved survival upon pulmonary challenge with the virulent CO92 Y. pestis. Taken together, these data indicate that targeting dendritic cells via the mucosal route is a potential new avenue for the development of a mucosal vaccine against pneumonic plague.

However, the relative importance of known environmental mitigating factors for dissolved silver remains poorly characterized for nanosilver in context with existing predictive toxicity models. This study investigated the implications of freshly prepared versus stored 20 and 100 nm nanosilver stocks to freshwater zooplankton (Ceriodaphnia dubia) in presence and absence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Results indicated that while the acute toxicity of nanosilver decreased significantly with larger size and higher DOC, storage resulted in significant increases in toxicity and ion release. The most dramatic decrease in toxicity due to DOC was observed for the 20 nm particle (2.5-6.7 fold decrease), with more modest toxicity reductions observed for the 100 nm particle (2.0-2.4 fold) and dissolved silver (2.7-3.1 fold). While a surface area dosimetry presented an improvement over mass when DOC was absent, the presence of DOC confounded its efficacy. The fraction of dissolved silver in the nanosilver suspensions was most predictive of acute toxicity regardless of system complexity. Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) predictions based on the dissolved fraction in nanosilver suspensions were comparable to observed toxicity.

T1 - The effect of rapid and sustained decompression on barotrauma in juvenile brook lamprey and Pacific lamprey: Implications for passage at hydroelectric facilities JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 129-130 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 20 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: Fish passing downstream through hydroelectric facilities may pass through turbines where they experience a rapid decrease in pressure, which can lead to barotraumas including swim bladder rupture, exopthalmia, emboli, and hemorrhaging. In juvenile Chinook salmon, the main mechanism for injury is thought to be expansion of existing gases (particularly those present in the swim bladder) and the rupture of the swim bladder ultimately leading to exopthalmia, emboli and hemorrhaging. In fish lacking a swim bladder, such as lamprey, barotraumas due to rapid decompression may be reduced, however this has yet to be extensively studied. Another mechanism for barotrauma can be gases coming out of solution and the rate of this occurrence may vary among species. In this study, juvenile brook and Pacific lamprey acclimated to 146.2kPa (equivalent to a depth of 4.6m) were subjected to rapid (<1s) or sustained decompression (17min) to a very low pressure (13.8kPa) using a protocol previously applied to juvenile salmon. No mortality or evidence of barotraumas was observed following rapid decompression, nor up to 120h after sustained decompression. In contrast, mortality or injury would be expected for 97.5% of juvenile Chinook salmon exposed to a similar rapid decompression to these very low pressures. Additionally, juvenile Chinook salmon experiencing sustained decompression died within 7min. Thus, juvenile lamprey may not be susceptible to barotraumas associated with turbine passage to the same degree as juvenile salmonids.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 32 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 838 EP - 847 SN - 02755947 AB - Benthic–pelagic coupling is an important habitat function provided by oyster reefs that is potentially affected by sedimentation impacts. In this study, the distributions of three resident crab species, the flat mud crab (also known as the flatback mud crab)Eurypanopeus depressus, the common mud crab (also known as the Atlantic mud crab)Panopeus herbstii, and the invasive green porcelain crabPetrolisthes armatus, were examined with respect to sedimentation on six restored intertidal eastern oysterCrassostrea virginicasites in South Carolina. Sedimentation among sites ranged from 4% to 60% cover and was composed of silty clay and sand. Crab associations with sedimentation differed among species. Common mud crabs and green porcelain crab densities were negatively correlated with percent sediment cover, whereas flat mud crab densities were not related to sediment cover. Flat mud crabs occupy the interstices of the reef, and their densities were positively correlated with scorched musselBrachidontes exustusdensities. Total crab biomass and individual body weight were converted to annual secondary production estimates, which ranged from 6.1 to 27.2 g/m2(ash-free dry weight) among sites. Sedimentation on oyster habitat reduced crab annual secondary production beyond a prediction made by a proportional inverse relationship between percent sediment cover and crab secondary production. As an example, at 50% sediment cover, crab annual secondary production was reduced by 68%. The discrepancy between observed and predicted (proportional) reductions in crab secondary production estimates were most pronounced when sedimentation levels were less than 60% cover. These results suggest the use of proportional loss estimates to mitigate for sedimentation impacts on oyster habitat, when quantified as percent sediment cover, do not adequately compensate for impacts to resident crabs and consequential energy loss to crustacean and fish predators that include many important recreational and commercial species.

Recent reports of contamination in drinking water and soil have raised scrutiny and suspended some applications. This investigation employed the cabbage Brassica oleracae and snail Otala lactea as models to determine the toxicological implications of sodium tungstate and an aged tungsten powder-spiked soil containing monomeric and polymeric tungstates. Aged soil bioassays indicated cabbage growth was impaired at 436 mg of W/kg, while snail survival was not impacted up to 3793 mg of W/kg. In a dermal exposure, sodium tungstate was more toxic to the snail, with a lethal median concentration of 859 mg of W/kg. While the snail significantly bioaccumulated tungsten, predominately in the hepatopancreas, cabbage leaves bioaccumulated much higher concentrations. Synchrotron-based mapping indicated the highest levels of W were in the veins of cabbage leaves. Our results suggest snails consuming contaminated cabbage accumulated higher tungsten concentrations relative to the concentrations directly bioaccumulated from soil, indicating the importance of robust trophic transfer investigations. Finally, synchrotron mapping provided evidence of tungsten in the inner layer of the snail shell, suggesting potential use of snail shells as a biomonitoring tool for metal contamination.

One approach to alleviating the amount of municipal solid waste being la ml filled is the use of a new garbage-processing technology that sterilizes and separates waste into inorganic and organic components. Thus, a study was initiated to evaluate the effectiveness of using the organic component (Fluff) as a soil amendment for establishing native prairie grasses on disturbed U.S. Army training land. The Fluffmaterial was incorporated (10-20 cm) into a highly degraded sandy loam soil located in a borrow pit at Fort Benning Military Reservation, GA, in 2003. The Fluff was applied at rates of 0, 18, 36, 72, and 143 Mg ha-1 and seeded with native prairie grasses to assess its effect on aboveground and belowground biomass production and C and N cycling after 5 yr. An unseeded control (no Fluff) treatment was also evaluated as a comparison of natural recovery. After 5 yr, revegetation resulting from natural recovery in the unseeded control was sparse. However, Fluff addition improved native grass establishment, with greater biomass production being observed with increasing rates. Fluff addition also decreased soil bulk density and increased soil C and N concentrations. These results show that Fluff can be effectively used in land rehabilitation and revegetation practices as well as to improve C and N cycling of highly degraded soils for periods exceeding 5 yr after application.

The LaBranche (LB) wetlands bordering Lake Pontchartrain are severely degraded due to saltwater intrusion, subsidence, leveeing of the river, and hydrologic alterations including partial impoundment. Directly adjacent is the Bonnet Carré (BC) spillway, a geomorphically similar area that contains healthy baldcypress swamp. The spillway carries river water to the lake during high discharge years and has been opened eleven times in 80 years, with flows as high as 9000m3 s−1. The primary hydrologic difference between the two areas is the regular input of River water to the BC wetlands while the LB wetlands are isolated from the river. The interior of the LB wetlands is also isolated from sediment originating from Lake Pontchartrain. Long-term accretion, tree growth, and elevation were measured in these two wetland areas to determine impacts of riverine input. 137Cs accretion rates in the BC wetlands were 2.6–2.7cmyr−1, compared to 0.43 and 1.4cmyr−1, respectively, in the LB wetlands in areas without and with sediment input from Lake Pontchartrain. Baldypress growth in the BC averaged about 2.3mmringwidthyr−1, compared to 1.4mmyr−1 in LB. Trees are of relatively the same age due to lack of recruitment and widespread logging. Tree height, an indicator of site quality, is about 20% less at the LB sites compared to BC, even though the trees are approximately the same ages. The average wetland elevation in the BC wetlands was about one meter with some areas higher than two meters, and was significantly higher than elevations in the LB (average sea level and 0.3m, respectively, in areas with and without input from Lake Pontchartrain).

JO - Ecological Indicators JF - Ecological Indicators Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 20 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 150 SN - 1470160X AB - Abstract: Ecological indicators provide early warning of adverse environmental change, helping land managers adaptively manage their resources while minimizing costly remediation. In 1999 and 2000, we studied two such indicators, growth and developmental instability, of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) influenced by mechanized infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Disturbed areas were used for military training; tracked and wheeled vehicles damaged vegetation and soils. Highly disturbed sites had fewer trees, diminished ground cover, warmer soils in the summer, and more compacted soils with a shallower A-horizon. We hypothesized that disturbance would decrease the growth of needles, branches, and tree rings, increase the complexity of tree rings, and increase the developmental instability of needles. Contrary to our expectations, however, disturbance enhanced growth in the first year of the study, possibly by reducing competition. In the second year, a drought reduced growth of branches and needles, eliminating the stimulatory effect of disturbance. Growth-ring widths increased with growing-season precipitation, and decreased with growing-season temperature over the last 40 years. Disturbance had no effect on tree-ring complexity, as measured by the Hurst exponent. Within-fascicle variation of current-year needle length, a measure of developmental instability, differed among the study populations, but appeared unrelated to mechanical disturbance or drought.

This occurs along coastlines and in rivers and estuaries of the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where protected marine mammals prey on threatened and endangered Pacific salmonidsOncorhynchusspp. Over 9 years, we observed a growing aggregation of California sea lionsZalophus californianusand Steller sea lionsEumetopias jubatuspreying upon adult Chinook salmonO. tshawytschaand steelheadO. mykissat Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. Both before and concurrent with the observation study, we monitored radio-tagged salmon at Bonneville Dam and during their upriver spawning migrations. Springtime sea lion abundance steadily increased from 2002 to 2010 and the aggregation formed earlier each winter. The principal prey species in winter were resident white sturgeonAcipenser transmontanusand migratory steelhead and then shifted to predominantly Chinook salmon when the spring run arrived. Observation-based estimates of salmonid consumption from January to May varied 12-fold among years (0.4–4.9%, mean = 2.6% of adult salmonids counted at the dam), and radiotelemetry results corroborated these estimates. The highest proportional impact was in winter and early spring. As salmonid abundance increased, per capita consumption by sea lions increased (Type II functional response) but individual salmonid risk decreased (due to prey swamping). Population-specific risk analyses indicated predation was substantially higher for early-timed than for late-timed salmon populations. The most at-risk group included Snake River and upper Columbia River Chinook salmon listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. These predation indices should help managers simultaneously tasked with salmon recovery and marine mammal management.

A compost with Fe added to the wastewater treatment residuals (Fe WTR compost) added to soils at 100 g kg decreased Pb bioaccessibility in laboratory conditions. Composts tested in the field, however, did not reduce bioaccessible Pb, and limited reductions were noted in bioaccessible As. The findings suggest that addition of high-Fe biosolid compost is an effective way to reduce Pb accessibility just for some types of Fe-rich materials.

This study quantifies the epistemic uncertainty in the species distribution modeling, which is generated by spatio-temporal gaps between the biogeographical data, model selection and model complexity. Epistemic uncertainty is generally given by the sum of subjective and objective uncertainty. The subjective uncertainty generated by the modeler-choice in the manipulation of the environmental variables was analyzed. The Snowy Plover in Florida (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus, SP), a residential shorebird whose geographic range is extended along the Panhandle-Big Bend-Peninsula Gulf coast was considered as case-study. The first fundamental step for studying the species distribution and how it will be affected by climate change is to obtain an accurate description of the shorebird coastal habitat. The land-cover was translated into ecosystem classes using a land-cover model that predicts the evolution of coastal ecosystems affected by sea-level rise scenarios. The best land-cover map decreased the objective uncertainty (intrinsically present in data or models) in representing the spatial structure of the coastal ecosystem, reduced the temporal gaps with the occurrence data, and diminished the subjective uncertainty due to the conversion from land-cover to model-classes. Multimodeling was performed to reduce the uncertainty in the prediction of the species distribution related to model uncertainty. The best representation of the species distribution was performed by MaxEnt. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the omission/commission test, the similarity index of the response curves, and the jackknife test were used simultaneously as indicators of the predictability of each species distribution model. The availability of updated high-resolution biogeoclimatological data was proven to be necessary in order to properly predict the species ranges for conservation purposes.

These two papers cover the modeling of power flow in HEVs, the mathematical background of optimization in energy management in HEVs, a machine learning framework that combines dynamic programming (DP) with machine learning to learn about roadway-type- and traffic-congestion-level-specific energy optimization, machine learning algorithms, and real-time quasi-optimal control of energy flow in an HEV. This first paper presents our research on machine learning for optimal energy management in HEVs. We will present a machine learning framework ML_EMO_HEV developed for the optimization of energy management in an HEV, machine learning algorithms for predicting driving environments, and the generation of an optimal power split for a given driving environment. Experiments are conducted based on a simulated Ford Escape Hybrid vehicle model provided by Argonne National Laboratory's Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). Based on the experimental results on the test data, we can conclude that the neural networks trained under the ML_EMO_HEV framework are effective in predicting roadway type and traffic congestion levels, predicting driving trends, and learning optimal engine speed and optimal battery power from DP.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 48 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 20 SN - 00431397 AB - The utility of existing models for describing upscaled mass transfer from nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) were examined when preferential dissolution pathways form in NAPL-contaminated zones that extend over the scale of decimeters. Laboratory experiments were conducted in two well-characterized, heterogeneous packings. Using data from these experiments and simulations, existing methods for upscaling the mass transfer rate coefficient for NAPL dissolution based on dissolution front length growth (LDF), aquifer heterogeneity and spatial moments of NAPL distribution, and the ganglia-to-pool ratio (GTP) were evaluated along with an equilibrium stream tube (EST) model for predicting contaminant flux. When the correlation length of permeability perpendicular to the mean water flow direction was 6.0 cm, greater than the scale of dissolution fingers, only 4.8% of the NAPL resided in pools. Dissolution fingers formed in this experiment, and the LDF, GTP, and EST models resulted in similar predictions of effluent concentrations, with root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) between 0.035 and 0.079 and the LDF-heterogeneous model best. When the correlation scale was smaller (1.0 cm), 66.7% of the NAPL was in pools, and preferential dissolution pathways were dominated by channeling, preferential dissolution caused by spatial variations in aqueous phase permeability, and NAPL saturation. For this experiment the EST and GTP models performed well, with RMSEs of 0.055 and 0.103, respectively. Dissolution fingering was important when the permeability correlation length was sufficiently large that dissolution finger formation was not disrupted and NAPL pools were not dominant.

We quantitatively examined the validity of interspecies uncertainty factors by comparing the responses of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to the energetic compound 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a known neurotoxicant. Relative toxicity was measured through transcriptional, morphological, and behavioral end points in zebrafish and fathead minnow fry exposed for 96 h to RDX concentrations ranging from 0.9 to 27.7 mg/L. Spinal deformities and lethality occurred at 1.8 and 3.5 mg/L RDX respectively for fathead minnow and at 13.8 and 27.7 mg/L for zebrafish, indicating that zebrafish have an 8-fold greater tolerance for RDX than fathead minnow fry. The number and magnitude of differentially expressed transcripts increased with increasing RDX concentration for both species. Differentially expressed genes were enriched in functions related to neurological disease, oxidative-stress, acute-phase response, vitamin/mineral metabolism and skeletal/muscular disorders. Decreased expression of collagen-coding transcripts were associated with spinal deformity and likely involved in sensitivity to RDX. Our work provides a mechanistic explanation for species-specific sensitivity to RDX where zebrafish responded at lower concentrations with greater numbers of functions related to RDX tolerance than fathead minnow. While the 10-fold interspecies uncertainty factor does provide a reasonable cross-species estimate of toxicity in the present study, the observation that the responses between ZF and FHM are markedly different does initiate a call for concern regarding establishment of broad ecotoxicological conclusions based on model species such as zebrafish.

The conversion of JP-8 to hydrogen offers an energy dense feedstock for hydrogen production through fuel reformation. Unfortunately, organic sulfur compounds in logistical fuels, even at part per million levels, can poison reformer and fuel cell catalysts. In this work, adsorbents based on silica supported gold ions and gold nanoparticles were synthesized and evaluated for the adsorptive desulfurization of JP-8 jet fuel. The adsorbents were evaluated with JP-8 fuel containing 430 ppmw sulfur under ambient conditions. The preparation, as well as the sulfur removal and adsorption characteristics for two adsorbents are described in this work.

Arsenite [As(III)] can be oxidized to arsenate [As(V)] by both minerals and microbes in soil however, the interaction between these abiotic and biotic processes is not well understood. In this study, the time dependency of As(III) oxidation by two heterotrophic soil bacteria (Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and a poorly crystalline manganese (Mn) oxide mineral (δ-MnO2) was determined using batch experiments. The apparent rate of As(V) appearance in solution was greater for the combined batch experiments in which bacteria and δ-MnO2 were oxidizing As(III) at the same time than for either component alone. The additive effect of the mixed cell-δ-MnO2 system was consistent for short (<1 h) and long (24 h) term coincubation indicating that mineral surface inhibition by cells has little effect the As(III) oxidation rate. Surface interactions between cells and the mineral surface were indicated by sorption and pH-induced desorption results. Total sorption of As on the mineral was lower with bacteria present (16.1 ± 0.8% As sorbed) and higher with δ-MnO2 alone (23.4 ± 1%) and As was more easily desorbed from the cell-δ-MnO2 system than from δ-MnO2 alone. Therefore, the presence of bacteria inhibited As sorption and decreased the stability of sorbed As on δ-MnO2 even though As(III) was oxidized fastest in a mixed cell-δ-MnO2 system. The additive effect of biotic (As-oxidizing bacteria) and abiotic (δ-MnO2 mineral) oxidation processes in a system containing both oxidants suggests that mineral-only results may underestimate the oxidative capacity of natural systems with biotic and abiotic As(III) oxidation pathways.

However, burning excess propellant in the field will leave significant quantities of energetic residues and heavy metals in the environment. Compounds such as dinitrotoluene and nitroglycerin and metals such as lead will leach into the soil column, eventually migrating to groundwater. Contamination of the environment will lead to high remediation costs and the possible loss of the training facility. After investigating the contamination at several propellant disposal sites, a portable propellant burn pan was developed and tested. The pan was transported to training sites where excess propellant was loaded and burned in a controlled manner. Up to 120kg of excess single-base propellant charges have been burned during two series of tests at a consumption rate of greater than 99.9%. Less than 0.03% of the energetic material was recovered outside the burn pan. Recovered lead is largely contained within the pan. The turnover rate for burns is 15min. The residues can be collected following cool-down for proper disposal.

Less is known about its ecology or management in forested wetlands, providing an opportunity to apply information about factors critical to an invader's control in one wetland type to another. In a potted plant experiment and in the field, we documented strong competitive effects of reed canarygrass on the establishment and early growth of tree seedlings. In the field, we demonstrated the effectiveness of a novel restoration strategy, combining site scarification with late fall applications of pre-emergent herbicides. Treatments delayed reed canarygrass emergence the following spring, creating a window of opportunity for the early growth of native plants in the absence of competition from the grass. They also allowed for follow-up herbicide treatments during the growing season. We documented greater establishment of wetland herbs and tree seedlings in treated areas. Data from small exclosures suggest, however, that deer browsing can limit tree seedling height growth in floodplain restorations. Slower tree growth will delay canopy closure, potentially allowing reed canarygrass re-invasion. Thus, it may be necessary to protect tree seedlings from herbivory to assure forest regeneration.

T1 - Combined diazepam and HDAC inhibitor treatment protects against seizures and neuronal damage caused by soman exposure JO - NeuroToxicology JF - NeuroToxicology Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 500 EP - 511 SN - 0161813X AB - Abstract: The occurrence of status epilepticus (SE) is considered the main cause of brain lesions and morphological alterations, such as hippocampal neuron loss, that result in chronic epilepsy. Previous work demonstrated the convulsive and widespread neuropathological effects of soman, an organophosphorus compound that causes SE and severe recurrent seizures as a result of exposure. Seizures begin rapidly after exposure, can continue for hours, and contribute to prolonged physical incapacitation of the victim. This study attempts to identify anticonvulsive and neuroprotective drugs against soman exposure. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 1.0LD50 soman. EEGraphical and neuropathological (Fluoro-Jade B staining) effects were analyzed at 72h post-exposure to soman and subsequent treatments with diazepam (DZP) alone or in combination with histone deacetylase inhibitors, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) or valproic acid (VPA). The extent of brain damage was dependent on the length of SE and not on the number of recurrent seizures. DZP treatment alone decreased SE time and damage in hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus and cortex, but not in piriform nuclei. The combination of DZP and VPA 100mg/kg showed more anticonvulsive effects, decreased SE time, and afforded more neuroprotection in the hippocampus, mainly the ventral portion. The combination DZP and SAHA 25mg/kg was more neuroprotective, but not more anticonvulsant than DZP alone. The DZP combination with VPA HDAC inhibitor proved to be a good treatment for SE and neuronal damage caused by soman exposure.

Three classes of drugs, anticholinergics, benzodiazepines and excitatory amino acid (EAA) antagonists, have been shown to be effective at moderating nerve agent-induced seizures. However, little is known about which brain structures are involved in producing the anticonvulsant response. This study evaluated drugs from each class, injected directly into one of three specific brain structures, the perirhinal cortex, the entorhinal cortex, or the mediodorsal thalamus, for their ability to modulate seizures induced by the nerve agent soman. The drugs evaluated were the anticholinergic scopolamine, the benzodiazepine midazolam, and the EAA antagonist MK-801. For each drug treatment in each brain area, anticonvulsant ED50 values were calculated using an up-down dosing procedure over successive animals. There was no statistical difference in the anticonvulsant ED50 values for scopolamine and MK-801 in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortices. MK-801 pretreatment in the mediodorsal thalamus had a significantly lower anticonvulsant ED50 value than any other treatment/injection site combination. Midazolam required significantly higher doses than scopolamine and MK-801 in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortices to produce an anticonvulsant response and was ineffective in the mediodorsal thalamus. These findings support the contention that specific neuroanatomical pathways are activated during nerve agent-induced seizures and that the discrete brain structures involved have unique pharmacological thresholds for producing an anticonvulsant response. This study is also the first to show the involvement of the mediodorsal thalamus in the control of nerve agent-induced seizures.

The objective of this study was to compare effects of co-administration of GGC and CLA to treatment with GGC alone on oxidative stress and GSH synthesis in human endothelial cells. Changes in levels of 8-epi-PGF2α, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), GSH, total antioxidants, GSH synthetase (GSS) expression, and transcription factor DNA binding were assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with GGC alone (100μmol/L) or combined with CLA isomer mixture (10, 50, 100μmol/L) for 24h. Significantly higher levels of TBARS, 8-epi-PGF2α, GSH, and GSS protein were found in cells treated with GGC and 10μmol/L CLA, compared to cells treated with GGC alone, indicative of prooxidant effects of CLA. Approximately 40% cell death was microscopically observed in cells incubated with GGC and 100μmol/L CLA. Despite lower levels of GSH, treatment with GGC and 50μmol/L CLA appeared to be protective from oxidative stress similar to treatment with GGC alone, as indicated by lower levels of TBARS, compared to control cells not treated with GGC and CLA.

T1 - Analysis of munitions constituents in groundwater using a field-portable GC–MS JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2012/05/15/ VL - 87 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 894 EP - 901 SN - 00456535 AB - Abstract: The use of munitions constituents (MCs) at military installations can produce soil and groundwater contamination that requires periodic monitoring even after training or manufacturing activities have ceased. Traditional groundwater monitoring methods require large volumes of aqueous samples (e.g., 2–4L) to be shipped under chain of custody, to fixed laboratories for analysis. The samples must also be packed on ice and shielded from light to minimize degradation that may occur during transport and storage. The laboratory’s turn-around time for sample analysis and reporting can be as long as 45d. This process hinders the reporting of data to customers in a timely manner; yields data that are not necessarily representative of current site conditions owing to the lag time between sample collection and reporting; and incurs significant shipping costs for samples. The current work compares a field portable Gas Chromatograph–Mass Spectrometer (GC–MS) for analysis of MCs on-site with traditional laboratory-based analysis using High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV absorption detection. The field method provides near real-time (within ∼1h of sampling) concentrations of MCs in groundwater samples. Mass spectrometry provides reliable confirmation of MCs and a means to identify unknown compounds that are potential false positives for methods with UV and other non-selective detectors.

There is the potential for off-site migration of high explosives and metals from hand grenade training ranges by transport in surface water and subsurface transport in leachate. This treatability study used bench-scale columns and mesocosm-scale laboratory lysimeters to investigate the potential of hydrated lime as a soil amendment for in situ remediation of explosives and metals stabilization in hand grenade range soils. Compared to the unamended soil there was a 26–92% reduction of RDX in the leachate and runoff water from the lime treated soils and a 66–83% reduction of zinc in the leachate and runoff water samples; where the hand grenade range metals of concern were zinc, iron, and manganese. The amended soil was maintained at the target pH of greater than 10.5 for optimum explosives decomposition. The treatability study indicated a high potential of success for scale-up to an in situ field study.

MPRAs embody numerous interconnected models and parameters. Concatenation of many multiplicative and incompletely defined assumptions and inputs can result in risk estimates with considerable uncertainties, which are difficult to quantify and elucidate. Here, three MPRA case-studies approach uncertainties in ways that better inform context-specific judgments of risk. In the first case, default values predicted implausibly large impacts; substitution of site-specific data within conservative methods resulted in reasonable and intuitive worst-case estimates. In the second, a simpler, clearly worst-case water quality model sufficed to demonstrate acceptable risks. In the third case, exposures were intentionally and transparently overestimated. Choices made within particular MPRAs depend on availability of data as suitable replacements for default assumptions, regulatory requirements, and thoughtful consideration of the concerns of interested stakeholders. Explicit consideration of the biases inherent in each risk assessment lends greater credibility to the assessment results, and can form the bases for evidence-based decision-making.

Metamaterials are artificial materials that exhibit plasmonic resonances with subwavelength sizes of metallic structures. Metaresonator antennas use metamaterial structures as radiators to reduce the size of antennas and design multiband antennas. A small-dipole antenna is placed on a high-impedance ground plane with a conjoined split-ring resonator (SRR). The total volume of the antenna, including the effectively high impedance ground plane, is only \0.51\lambda0 \times \0.41\lambda0 \times \0.05 \lambda0. The embedded multilayer ceramic antenna was fabricated using a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technique and is well suited for embedment in the armor. Very good agreement was obtained between full-wave simulation results and measurements of the reflection coefficient and radiation pattern.

T1 - Electrokinetic-enhanced bioaugmentation for remediation of chlorinated solvents contaminated clay JO - Journal of Hazardous Materials JF - Journal of Hazardous Materials Y1 - 2012/04/30/ VL - 213-214 M3 - Article SP - 311 EP - 317 SN - 03043894 AB - Abstract: Successful bioremediation of contaminated soils is controlled by the ability to deliver bioremediation additives, such as bacteria and/or nutrients, to the contaminated zone. Because hydraulic advection is not practical for delivery in clays, electrokinetic (EK) injection is an alternative for efficient and uniform delivery of bioremediation additive into low-permeability soil and heterogeneous deposits. EK-enhanced bioaugmentation for remediation of clays contaminated with chlorinated solvents is evaluated. Dehalococcoides (Dhc) bacterial strain and lactate ions are uniformly injected in contaminated clay and complete dechlorination of chlorinated ethene is observed in laboratory experiments. The injected bacteria can survive, grow, and promote effective dechlorination under EK conditions and after EK application. The distribution of Dhc within the clay suggests that electrokinetic transport of Dhc is primarily driven by electroosmosis. In addition to biodegradation due to bioaugmentation of Dhc, an EK-driven transport of chlorinated ethenes is observed in the clay, which accelerates cleanup of chlorinated ethenes from the anode side. Compared with conventional advection-based delivery, EK injection is significantly more effective for establishing microbial reductive dechlorination capacity in low-permeability soils.

Using an established statistical technique to summarize the adoption literature in the United States, we identified the following variables as having the largest impact on adoption: access to and quality of information, financial capacity, and being connected to agency or local networks of farmers or watershed groups. This study shows that various approaches to data collection affect the results and comparability of adoption studies. In particular, environmental awareness and farmer attitudes have been inconsistently used and measured across the literature. This meta-analysis concludes with suggestions regarding the future direction of adoption studies, along with guidelines for how data should be presented to enhance the adoption of conservation practices and guide research.

T1 - A water and sediment budget for the lower Mississippi–Atchafalaya River in flood years 2008–2010: Implications for sediment discharge to the oceans and coastal restoration in Louisiana JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2012/04/11/ VL - 432-433 M3 - Article SP - 84 EP - 97 SN - 00221694 AB - Summary: The Mississippi is the largest riverine system in North America and one of the most engineered rivers in the world. The challenges of studying the Mississippi River are due to its complex sediment–water dynamics and the multi (and often competing) uses for its resources. Flood control and navigation are primary factors that control how the river is managed. A third factor is the use of river resources, namely water and sediment, for nourishing the degrading coastal wetlands of the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. As such, these factors must be fully considered and coordinated while investigating and developing techniques to harness the sediment resources of the River for coastal restoration. This paper presents a detailed suspended sediment budget analysis for the lowermost Mississippi and Atchafalaya River systems for the flood years of 2008, 2009, and 2010. Data were derived mainly from Federal and State of Louisiana measurements of water discharge and suspended sediment load at (1) monitoring stations along the river channel and (2) boat-based measurements made during specific project studies at natural passes and man-made channel diversions. The present study was focused on flood years 2008–2010 to (1) minimize the influence on the budgets of a historical decline in sediment loads carried by the river as observed by previous investigators and (2) take advantage of recent improvements in the monitoring network. The results show that both the Mississippi and Atchafalaya distributary pathways were efficient at sequestering suspended sediments, particularly the larger (sand) size fraction. Approximately 44% of the total Mississippi+Red River suspended load (80% of the sand) reaching Old River Control structures split between the distributaries was sequestered upstream of the Gulf of Mexico by overbank storage and channel bed aggradation. Increases in bed aggradation in the Mississippi distributary are linked to a loss of stream power associated with man-made and natural exits upstream of the Gulf of Mexico. This further decreased the water and suspended sediment load reaching the deep water Gulf distributary exits in FY08–10 to 46% (water), 19% (total suspended load), and 1.4% (suspended sand). These patterns of sediment storage and delivery have major implications for channel dredging and river sediment diversions planned for Louisiana coastal restoration.

T1 - The Influence of Tag Presence on the Mortality of Juvenile Chinook Salmon Exposed to Simulated Hydroturbine Passage: Implications for Survival Estimates and Management of Hydroelectric Facilities. JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 32 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 249 EP - 261 SN - 02755947 AB - Each year, telemetry tags (acoustic, radio, and passive integrated transponder tags) are surgically implanted into thousands of fish to assess their passage and survival through hydropower facilities. One passage route that is of particular concern is through hydroturbines, where fish may be exposed to a range of potential injuries that include barotraumas from rapid decompression. The change in pressure from acclimation to exposure (nadir) has been identified as an important factor in predicting the likelihood of mortality and injury for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha undergoing rapid decompression associated with simulated turbine passage. The presence of telemetry tags has also been shown to influence the likelihood of mortality and injury for juvenile Chinook salmon. We investigated the likelihood of mortality and injury for telemetry-tagged juvenile Chinook salmon that were exposed to a range of pressure changes associated with simulated turbine passage. Several factors were examined as predictors of mortal injury for fish undergoing rapid decompression; of these factors, the log e transformed ratio of acclimation pressure: exposure pressure (LRP) and the tag burden (tag mass expressed as a percentage of fish mass) were the most predictive. As the LRP and tag burden increased, the likelihood of mortal injury also increased. Our results suggest that previous estimates of survival for juvenile Chinook salmon passing through hydroturbines were negatively biased due to the presence of telemetry tags, and this has direct implications for the management of hydroelectric facilities. Realistic examples indicate how the bias in turbine passage survival estimates could be 20% or higher depending on the LRP and tag burden. Negative bias would increase as the tag burden and the pressure change ratio increase and therefore has direct implications for survival estimates. We recommend that future hydroturbine survival studies use the smallest telemetry tags possible to minimize the potential bias associated with tag presence.

Anthracite was almost completely dominated by aromatics (96.9%), with very minor CCH3. Although lignite contained mostly aromatics (76.1%), significant aliphatics (21.3%) as well as small amounts of COO/Nh name="dbnd" />O and O-alkyls were also present. In addition, anthracite had more aromatic Cthan lignite. Their BC samples both exhibited increased oxygenated functional groups such as COO, aromatic Clkyl groups, and concomitant decrease of aromatic Cpolar alkyls. The 1H 13C recoupled long-range dipolar dephasing experiments indicated the growth of aromatic cluster sizes in BC. Although the aromaticity of anthracite was much larger than those of lignite and lignite humic acid, their aromatic cluster sizes were quite similar. The BC samples had much larger aromatic cluster sizes than anthracite despite their smaller aromaticities. Therefore, higher rank or higher aromaticity may not imply larger aromatic cluster size in coal. The structures of two BC samples were similar despite the contrasting structural differences of their original coals.

Prescribed burning is used to reduce fuel loads and achieve desired stand conditions while the impact caused by this restoration process is primarily dependent on the severity of the fire, which is managed by burning in either fall or spring. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of season and interval of burn on soil and tree productivity in a ponderosa pine forest in Malheur National Forest of the southern Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. Prescribed burning was initiated in the spring of 1997 and fall of 1997 at 5- and 15-year intervals. This study was initiated in 2004 so that the 5-year interval plots had burned twice with 1–2years of recovery while the 15-year interval plots had burned only once with 6–7years of recovery since the last fire. Soils were sampled by major genetic horizon and A horizon samples were analyzed for soil available nitrogen (KCl extractable and ) and phosphorous (Bray 1 extract). Soil temperature (2cm) and moisture (7.5, 25, 50, and 100cm) were monitored for 24months. Observations and previous studies indicated that fall burns were more severe than spring burns consuming more fuel and leading to higher rates of tree mortality. Extractable and phosphate increased with multiple burns relative to the single burn treatments, but were statistically similar to the control. Soil temperatures were found to be highest in the more severe fall burn treatments, particularly the 5-year interval burns. Soil moisture was also slightly higher with the 5-year interval burns, possibly due to reduced transpiration from understory vegetation and/or reduced interception by the O horizon. These changes to the soil did not significantly affect ponderosa pine growth relative to the control and may have caused a slight increase in tree growth with the spring burns applied at a 5-year interval relative to the other burn treatments. We hypothesize that low severity spring burning improved the soil growing environment without injuring trees. Combined with results from previous studies spring burns appear to preserve stand productivity, soil carbon and nitrogen, and understory vegetative communities. However, more research is necessary to examine the long-term consequences of repeated burning in these forest types.

By incorporating a test of humoral response into controlled reproductive and developmental studies, more comprehensive results can be gathered to assess the potential for disease. The foreign red blood cells (RBC) challenge is a minimally invasive method for evaluating humoral responses to a foreign antigen. Typically, antibody response is assessed following injections of sheep erythrocytes; however, Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are only minimally sensitive to sheep RBC. In the present study, adult Japanese quail were treated with 5% solutions of RBC from goose, goat, cow, donkey, or pig in primary and secondary challenges. After each treatment, plasma samples were taken and antibody responses were measured for total immunoglobulins (Ig), IgG, and IgM. Overall, goose RBC generated the poorest responses in both primary and secondary challenges, while the strongest antibody responses were to pig and donkey RBC. Therefore, pig RBC appear to be a superior antigen for testing humoral response in Japanese quail.

This assessment demonstrates one way to consider multiple or cumulative sources through the development of a relative source contribution (RSC) factor for the explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), using the Exposure Decision Tree approach (subtraction method) recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The RSC factor is used to ensure that the concentration of a chemical allowed by a regulatory criterion or multiple criteria, when combined with other identified sources of exposure common to the population of concern, will not result in unacceptable exposures. An exposure model was used to identify relevant potential sources for receptors. Potential exposure pathways include ingestion of soil, water, contaminated local crops and fish, and dermal contact with soil and water. These pathways are applicable only to areas that are in close proximity to current or former military bases where RDX may have been released into the environment. Given the physical/chemical properties and the available environmental occurrence data on RDX, there are adequate data to support a chemical-specific RSC factor for RDX of 50% for drinking water ingestion.

The standard emergency treatment comprising of anticholinergic, AChE reactivator and anticonvulsant does not completely protect against soman toxicity. We have evaluated imidazenil, a new anticonvulsant imidazo benzodiazepine with high affinity and intrinsic efficacy at α5-, α2-, and α3- but low intrinsic efficacy at α1-containing GABAA receptors and is devoid of cardiorespiratory depression, sedative/hypnoitc and amnestic actions and does not elicit tolerance and dependence liabilities unlike diazepam, for protection against soman toxicity. Guinea pigs implanted with bipotential radiotelemetry probes for recording EEG and ECG were administered with 26μg/kg pyridostigmine bromide 30min prior to 2× LD50 soman exposure and 1min later treated with a combination of 2mg/kg atropine sulfate and 25mg/kg 2-pralidoxime and various doses of imidazenil. Intramuscular administration of imidazenil, dose-dependently protected against 2× LD50 of soman toxicity up to 1mg/kg. Further increase in the dose of imidazenil to 2.5mg/kg was less effective than 1mg/kg probably due to non-specific actions at sites other than GABAA receptors. Compared to vehicle group, 1mg/kg imidazenil treatment showed optimal increase in survival rate, reduction in behavioral manifestations and high power of EEG spectrum as well as neuronal necrosis. These data suggest that imidazenil is an effective anticonvulsant for medical countermeasure against soman-induced toxicity.

The test site used to demonstrate the approach was a shallow estuarine wetland where groundwater seepage and elevated organic and inorganic contaminants were of potential concern. Although groundwater was discharging into the surficial sediments, little to no chemical contamination was associated with the infiltrating groundwater. Results from bulk chemistry analysis, toxicity testing, and bioaccumulation, however, suggested possible PAH toxicity at one station, which might have been enhanced by UV photoactivation, explaining the differences between in situ and laboratory amphipod survival. Concurrently deployed PAH bioaccumulation on solid-phase micro-extraction fibers positively correlated (r 2 ≥ 0.977) with in situ PAH bioaccumulation in amphipods, attesting to their utility as biomimetics, and contributing to the overall improved linkage between exposure and effects demonstrated by this approach.

To provide this capability, an integrated deployment system, the Sediment Ecotoxicity Assessment (SEA) Ring was developed, which incorporates rapid in situ hydrological, chemical, bioaccumulation, and toxicological Lines-of-Evidence (LoE) for assessing sediment and overlying water contamination. The SEA Ring system allows for diver-assisted, or diverless, deployment of multiple species of ecologically relevant and indigenous organisms in three different exposures (overlying water, sediment–water interface, and bulk sediment) for periods ranging from two days to three weeks, in a range of water systems. Measured endpoints were both sublethal and lethal effects as well as bioaccumulation. In addition, integrated passive sampling devices for detecting nonpolar organics (solid phase micro-extraction fibers) and metals (diffusive gradients in thin films) provided gradient measures in overlying waters and surficial sediments.

T1 - Effect of Migration Pathway on Travel Time and Survival of Acoustic-Tagged Juvenile Salmonids in the Columbia River Estuary. JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 141 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 507 EP - 519 SN - 00028487 AB - We applied acoustic telemetry methods to characterize migration pathways and estimate associated travel times and survival probabilities for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and steelhead O. mykiss migrating downstream through the Columbia River estuary (from river kilometer [rkm] 86 to rkm 8). Acoustic-tagged fish were detected as migrating in the navigation channel and in off-channel areas at each of the estuarine reaches we examined during May–August 2010. However, the majority of fish traveled in the main navigation channel from rkm 86 to rkm 37, at which point most fish left the river-influenced navigation channel; crossed a broad, shallow tidal flat; and migrated the final 37 km in a secondary channel, which was characterized as having greater tidal transport than the navigation channel. The pathway used by acoustic-tagged smolts to migrate through the estuary affected their rate of travel. In most reaches, navigation channel migrants traveled significantly faster than fish that migrated through off-channel areas. Contrary to observations from previous studies, smolts that migrated through off-channel areas at a slower rate did not experience lower survival than their cohorts that used the navigation channel. Although no significant differences in survival probability were observed between navigation channel migrants and off-channel migrants, areas of high mortality were identified between rkm 37 and rkm 8. Dispersion of juvenile salmonids into multiple pathways during downstream migration can be beneficial in terms of increased expression of life history diversity and resiliency to environmental perturbations. Our results, which document juvenile salmon migration pathways and associated travel time and survival through a large estuary, can be used to focus future research and management activities in areas identified as having high mortality and therefore can be used to aid in the recovery of Endangered Species Act-listed salmon populations.

In an effort to reproduce these events, wind and tidally driven hydrodynamics are simulated from the deep ocean into the St. Johns and Nassau Rivers using a shallow water equations model. Calibration adjusts spatially distributed Manning’s roughness based on modeled-observed discharge. For validation, the model captures the regular tidal fluctuation as well as the hydrodynamic responses of the storm event in mid-May at the six water level gaging stations. At the flow gaging station, the model captures the ebb tendency of the tide as well as a strong perturbation (flood pulse) that occurs because of the storm event in mid-May.

Whereas single-surface visualization of landscapes is now routinely used in presentation of Earth surface data, interactive 3D visualization based upon multiple elevation surfaces and cutting planes is gaining recognition as a powerful tool for analyzing landscape structure based on multiple return Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. This approach also provides valuable insights into land surface changes captured by multi-temporal elevation models. Thus, animations using 2D images and 3D views are becoming essential for communicating results of landscape monitoring and computer simulations of Earth processes. Multiple surfaces and 3D animations are also used to introduce novel concepts for visual analysis of terrain models derived from time-series of LiDAR data using multi-year core and envelope surfaces. Analysis of terrain evolution using voxel models and visualization of contour evolution using isosurfaces has potential for unique insights into geometric properties of rapidly evolving coastal landscapes. In addition to visualization on desktop computers, the coupling of GIS with new types of graphics hardware systems provides opportunities for cutting-edge applications of visualization for geomorphological research. These systems include tangible environments that facilitate intuitive 3D perception, interaction and collaboration. Application of the presented visualization techniques as supporting tools for analyses of landform evolution using airborne LiDAR data and open source geospatial software is illustrated by two case studies from North Carolina, USA.

Further, there is growing research stating that climatic and atmospheric changes attributed to climate change are already affecting species distributions and geographic ranges, requiring endangered species to be relocated. Existing reserve design models mostly focus on choosing the optimal land area given existing species distributions and have not incorporated species relocation as a criterion. This paper introduces linear integer programming formulations for the relocation of multiple populations of a species at risk to clustered conservation areas. We present a basic clustered relocation model and extend the model to minimize the distances of relocation. We apply the models to a dataset related to Gopher Tortoise (GT), a keystone species currently considered ‘at risk’, at Ft. Benning Georgia where expanding military training needs require the relocation of GTs. We present the results and discuss the trade-off between compactness and relocation considerations using an efficiency frontier.

Historic in-channel island habitat has vanished, and the extent of the population's range within the MMR is unknown. We surgically implanted ultrasonic transmitters in 88 adult pallid sturgeon (>600 mm fork length; mean = 791 mm) during 2002–2005 and used boat-mounted hydrophones to quantify their seasonal use of major MMR habitat features (wing dikes, side channels, island side channel tips, tributaries, and main channel; total of 8,629 river kilometers monitored). Distance from habitat features (gravel bars, wing dikes, and island side channels) was quantified during spring, a period considered to be critical for many fish species. We quantified maximum seasonal movement of each fish in the entire MMR with stationary data-logging hydrophones during 2004–2006. Combining data across years and seasons, we found that pallid sturgeon selected the tips of wing dikes over other habitat features. However, during spring pallid sturgeon moved from the tips of wing dikes to within about 100 m of known gravel bars. Maximum distance moved by pallid sturgeon varied the most in spring relative to other seasons. One pallid sturgeon moved through the entire study reach, and a few individuals left the MMR for the Missouri River or the lower Mississippi River. Unique flow and substrate characteristics of wing dikes probably emulated missing habitat complexity (i.e., in-channel islands, deep scour holes, and sand bars). Other habitats such as gravel bars may be important during spring, although their contributions to reproduction, foraging, and survival of pallid sturgeon are unknown. The range of this pallid sturgeon population extends beyond the entire stretch of the MMR into other river basins; thus, the population requires rangewide management.

There is limited information on how these fish respond to the hydraulic pressures found during turbine passage events. We exposed juvenile Chinook salmon to varied acclimation pressures and subsequent exposure pressures to mimic the hydraulic pressures of large Kaplan turbines. Additionally, we varied abiotic (total dissolved gas and rate of pressure change) and biotic factors (condition factor, fish length, and fish weight) that may contribute to the incidence of mortal injury associated with fish passage through hydropower turbines. We determined that the main factor associated with the mortal injury of juvenile Chinook salmon during simulated turbine passage was the ratio between the acclimation pressure and the lowest exposure pressure. Condition factor, total dissolved gas, and rate of pressure change were found to only slightly increase the predictive power of the equations relating the probability of mortal injury to the conditions of exposure or the characteristics of the test fish during simulated turbine passage. This research should assist engineers and fisheries managers in operating and improving hydroelectric facilities while minimizing mortality and injury to turbine-passed juvenile Chinook salmon. Using these data, models can be built that might determine how much mortal injury is present at different turbine operations as pressures change. Further, pressure data coupled with the mortal injury data should be useful to engineers and turbine manufacturers when designing new turbines, which could not only increase power generation and efficiency but also minimize barotrauma to the fish that pass through them.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 141 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 00028487 AB - The size reduction of acoustic transmitters has led to a reduction in the length of the incision needed to implant a transmitter. Smaller suture knot profiles and fewer sutures may be adequate for closing an incision used to surgically implant an acoustic transmitter. As a result, faster surgery times and reduced tissue trauma could lead to increased survival and decreased infection for implanted fish. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of five suturing techniques on mortality, tag and suture retention, incision openness, ulceration, and redness in juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha implanted with acoustic transmitters. Suturing was performed by three surgeons, and study fish were held at two water temperatures (12°C and 17°C). Mortality was low and tag retention was high for all treatments on all examination days (7, 14, 21, and 28 d postsurgery). Because there was variation by surgeon in suture retention among treatments, further analyses included only the one surgeon who received feedback training in all suturing techniques. Incision openness and tissue redness did not differ among treatments. The only difference observed among treatments was in tissue ulceration. Incisions closed with a horizontal mattress pattern had more ulcerations than did other treatments among fish held for 28 d at 17°C. Results from this study suggest that one simple interrupted 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 suture is adequate for closing incisions on fish under most circumstances. However, in dynamic environments, two simple interrupted 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 sutures should provide adequate incision closure. Reducing bias in survival and behavior tagging studies is important when making comparisons with the migrating salmon population. Therefore, by minimizing the effects of tagging on juvenile salmon (reduced tissue trauma and reduced surgery time) researchers can more accurately estimate survival and behavior.

Key findings include that moisture content of the internal core at 365 days was essentially unchanged from the as-built conditions, and the bulk (major oxide) chemistry of the DM-SSF blends matched what was predicted by the field blending ratios. The addition of SSF to the 100% DM resulted in significant pH buffering and in strength increases up to a factor of 2, as measured by the average cone penetrometer test (CPT) tip resistance. Refusal ( or ) was encountered in the 100% SSF embankment at a depth of approximately 1.5 m. The 365-day aged 100% DM and DM-SSF blend had effective friction angles on the order of 34 and 52°, respectively, where the dry DM content is reported first. Quantitative X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that no new crystalline phases were observed in the DM-SSF blends, such as those commonly associated with typical cementation reactions. For 365-day-old DM-SSF blends containing between approximately (100% SSF) and (100% DM) total arsenic, the 95% upper confidence limit on the average. As concentration from the combined toxicity characteristic leaching procedure/synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (TCLP/SPLP) leaching results was less than the SPLP detection limit (), suggesting that the environmental risk associated with beneficially using the DM-SSF blends may be negligible.

JO - Environment Systems & Decisions JF - Environment Systems & Decisions Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 33 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 103 SN - 21945403 AB - Management of natural resources and infrastructure systems for sustainability is complicated by uncertainties in the human and natural environment. Moreover, decisions are further complicated by contradictory views, values, and concerns that are rarely made explicit. Scenario analysis can play a major role in addressing the challenges of sustainability management, especially the core question of how to scan the future in a structured, integrated, participatory, and policy-relevant manner. In a context of systems engineering, scenario analysis can provide an integrated and timely understanding of emergent conditions and help to avoid regret and belated action. The purpose of this paper is to present several case studies in natural resources and infrastructure systems management where scenario analysis has been used to aide decision making under uncertainty. The case studies include several resource and infrastructure systems: (1) water resources (2) land-use corridors (3) energy infrastructure, and (4) coastal climate change adaptation. The case studies emphasize a participatory approach, where scenario analysis becomes a means of incorporating diverse stakeholder concerns and experience. This approach to scenario analysis provides insight into both high-performing and robust initiatives/policies, and, perhaps more importantly, influential scenarios. Identifying the scenarios that are most influential to policy making helps to direct further investigative analysis, modeling, and data-collection efforts to support the learning process that is emphasized in adaptive management.

Production of these munitions would add them to the waste stream. The use of an anaerobic fluidized-bed bioreactor (AFBB) was studied for treating these compounds in a simulated wastewater with ethanol as the electron donor. The reactor degraded both of the compounds to below detection limits over a wide range of ethanol concentrations. The degradation was found to be a transformation into secondary products for both energetics: diaminoanisole (for DNAN) and -methyl--phenylenediamine (for MNA). Both of these by-products reacted upon exposure to air, forming azobond dimers. Potassium perchlorate was added to the feed stream to test if additional energetics would disrupt the transformation. The AFBB continued transformation and was able to remove the perchlorate after a two week acclimation period. The AFBB was an effective treatment method for DNAN and MNA, but further study is required to investigate the transformation products more thoroughly.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 93 EP - 101 SN - 07307268 AB - Various international and national regulations hold polluters liable for the cleanup of released hazardous substances and the restoration/rehabilitation of natural resources to preincident baseline conditions, a process often referred to as natural resource damage assessment and restoration (NRDAR). Here, we, the authors, describe how global climate change (GCC) will challenge each of the steps of NRDAR processes and offer eight recommendations to improve these processes in light of GCC. First, we call for a better understanding of the net effects of GCC and contaminants on natural resources. Second, we urge facilities and environmental managers to plan for GCC-related factors that are expected to increase the probability of contaminant releases. Third, we suggest re-evaluating definitions of baseline and reference conditions given that GCC will alter both their trajectories and variability. Fourth, we encourage long-term monitoring to improve the quantification of baseline conditions that will change as climate changes. This will enhance the accuracy of injury assessments, the effectiveness of restoration, and the detection of early warning signs that ecosystems are approaching tipping points. Fifth, in response to or anticipation of GCC, restoration projects may need to be conducted in areas distant from the site of injury or focused on functionally equivalent natural resources; thus, community involvement in NRDAR processes will be increasingly important. Sixth, we promote using NRDAR restoration projects as opportunities to mitigate GCC-related impacts. Seventh, we recommend adaptive management approaches to NRDAR processes and communication of successes and failures widely. Finally, we recommend focusing on managing the stressors that might be exacerbated by GCC, such as pollution and habitat loss, because there is a long history of successfully mitigating these stressors, which can be more easily managed on local scales than climate change. We believe that adoption of these recommendations will lead to a more efficacious NRDAR process, despite the challenges posed by climate change. Environ. Toxicol.

The problems are characterized by the extent of the environmental system involved, dynamic and interdependent nature of stressors and their impacts, diversity of stakeholders, and integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations. IEM provides a science-based structure to develop and organize relevant knowledge and information and apply it to explain, explore, and predict the behavior of environmental systems in response to human and natural sources of stress. During the past several years a number of workshops were held that brought IEM practitioners together to share experiences and discuss future needs and directions. In this paper we organize and present the results of these discussions. IEM is presented as a landscape containing four interdependent elements: applications, science, technology, and community. The elements are described from the perspective of their role in the landscape, current practices, and challenges that must be addressed. Workshop participants envision a global scale IEM community that leverages modern technologies to streamline the movement of science-based knowledge from its sources in research, through its organization into databases and models, to its integration and application for problem solving purposes. Achieving this vision will require that the global community of IEM stakeholders transcend social, and organizational boundaries and pursue greater levels of collaboration. Among the highest priorities for community action are the development of standards for publishing IEM data and models in forms suitable for automated discovery, access, and integration; education of the next generation of environmental stakeholders, with a focus on transdisciplinary research, development, and decision making; and providing a web-based platform for community interactions (e.g., continuous virtual workshops).

These have typically been linked with both the hydrodynamic and water quality models using similar explicit time steps, but for long-term simulations implicit models are required. The water quality codes linked to these hydrodynamic codes are forced to perform their computations using the hydrodynamic time step even though utilizing the same might result in drifting of the water quality solution. This technical note presents the development and testing of an operator splitting-derived method for linking hydrodynamic and water quality codes with adaptive time stepping. The resulting method provides high-fidelity solutions that compare well with analytic solutions and lends itself for extension to various other transported quantities.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 31 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1438 EP - 1444 SN - 07307268 AB - Rapid advances are being made in the creation and use of nanomaterials, but little is known about the impact these materials might have on key microbial functions if introduced into the environment. Previous studies have generated conflicting results with respect to the impact of fullerenes on microbial activity. In the present study, Salmonella typhimurium TA100 was selected as a model microbial system with which to investigate further the impact of C60 aggregates on microbial growth, mutagenicity, and global transcript expression. Aggregates of C60 predominantly less than 100 nm significantly impacted Salmonella growth at concentrations of ≥0.5 mg/L. In addition, C60 aggregates also displayed mutagenic potential at concentrations ≥0.1 mg/L. Transcript expression analysis of S. typhimurium TA100 exposed to C60 for 24 h indicated that 271 transcripts had significant differential expression relative to controls with twofold or more change. Of particular interest was the increased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in energy metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, transcription, and DNA metabolism, and the decreased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in protein fate, transport, and binding and bacterial secretion systems. Collectively, these data indicate that C60 interacts with the outer membrane of S. typhimurium TA100, resulting in delayed growth and mutagenicity, most likely by interfering with key transport functions and inducing a stress response, respectively.

Their fate in soils is ultimately controlled by soil mineralogical and biogeochemical processes. We detonated pure mineral phases with Composition B, a mixture of TNT and RDX, and investigated the fate of detonation residues in aqueous slurries constructed from the detonated minerals. The pure minerals included Ottawa sand (quartz and calcite), microcline feldspar, phlogopite mica, muscovite mica, vermiculite clay, beidellite (a representative of the smectite clay group), and nontronite clay. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and gas adsorption surface area measurements were made of the pristine and detonated minerals. Batch slurries of detonated minerals and deionized water were sampled for 141 days and TNT, RDX, and TNT transformation products were measured from the aqueous samples and from the mineral substrates at day 141. Detonated samples generally exhibited lower gas adsorption surface areas than pristine ones, likely from residue coating, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion. TNT and RDX exhibited analyte loss in almost all batch solutions over time but loss was greater in vermiculite, beidellite, and phlogopite than in muscovite and quartz. This suggests common phyllosilicate mineral substrates could be used on military training ranges to minimize off-site migration of explosive residues. We present a conceptual model to represent the physical and chemical processes that occurred in our aqueous batches over time.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 49 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 990 EP - 1008 SN - 0364152X AB - Construction of six large dams and reservoirs on the Missouri River over the last 50-75 years has resulted in major landscape changes and alterations in flow patterns, with implications for riparian forests dominated by plains cottonwood ( Populus deltoides). We quantified changes in land cover from 1892-1950s and the 1950s-2006 and the current extent and age structure of cottonwood forests on seven segments (two reservoir and five remnant floodplain) comprising 1127 km (53 %) of the unchannelized upper two-thirds of the Missouri River. Riparian forest area declined by 49 %; grassland 61 %; shrubland 52 %; and sandbar habitat 96 %; while agricultural cropland increased six-fold and river/reservoir surface area doubled from 1892 to 2006. Net rates of erosion and accretion declined between the 1892-1950s and 1950s-2006 periods. Accretion exceeded erosion on remnant floodplain segments, resulting in declines in active channel width, particularly in 1950s-2006. Across all study segments in 2006, most cottonwood stands (67 %) were >50 years old, 22 % were 25-50 years old, and only 10 % were <25 years old. Among stands <50 years old, the higher proportion of 25-50 year old stands represents recruitment that accompanied initial post-dam channel narrowing; while declines in sandbar and shrubland area and the low proportion of stands <25 years old suggest declines in geomorphic dynamism and limited recruitment under recent river management. Future conservation and restoration efforts should focus both on limiting further loss of remnant cottonwood stands and developing approaches to restore river dynamics and cottonwood recruitment processes.

Recent Records of Decision (RODs) for Army CERCLA sites were reviewed to select case studies where remedial management occurred in response to ecological risks. Thirty-four Army RODs were evaluated representing decisions promulgated between 1996 and 2004. Five were selected based on assessments that remedial actions were clearly linked to concern for ecological receptors. The Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) approach and the subsequent risk management process were reviewed for each site. The case studies demonstrated that the ERA findings, as well as critical management decisions regarding interpretation of identified ecological risks, were determinants of remedial action objectives. Decisions regarding the selection of remedial alternatives were based on a set of criteria prescribed by Superfund requirements and guidance. Remedial alternative evaluations require protection of human health and the environment, but protective conditions were determined using different methods at each site. Examining the remedial management process for the 5 case study sites revealed that uncertainty in the risk assessment and decisions regarding appropriate spatial scales for both risk assessment and remediation were important factors influencing remedial action decisions. The case reviews also revealed that levels of documentation were variable from site to site. In the future, more detailed documentation of decision criteria and the development of criteria that consider the resilience of the site will result in more technically defensible ecological risk management.

Significant economic, ecological, and social issues are intertwined in addressing the nation's contaminated sediment problem. Managing contaminated sediments has become increasingly resource intensive, with some investigations costing tens of millions of dollars and the majority of remediation projects proceeding at a slow pace. At present, the approaches typically used to investigate, evaluate, and remediate contaminated sediment sites in the United States have largely fallen short of producing timely, risk-based, cost-effective, long-term solutions. With the purpose of identifying opportunities for accelerating progress at contaminated sediment sites, the US Army Corps of Engineers-Engineer Research and Development Center and the Sediment Management Work Group convened a workshop with experienced experts from government, industry, consulting, and academia. Workshop participants identified 5 actions that, if implemented, would accelerate the progress and increase the effectiveness of risk management at contaminated sediment sites. These actions included: 1) development of a detailed and explicit project vision and accompanying objectives, achievable short-term and long-term goals, and metrics of remedy success at the outset of a project, with refinement occurring as needed throughout the duration of the project; 2) strategic engagement of stakeholders in a more direct and meaningful process; 3) optimization of risk reduction, risk management processes, and remedy selection addressing 2 important elements: a) the deliberate use of early action remedies, where appropriate, to accelerate risk reduction; and b) the systematic and sequential development of a suite of actions applicable to the ultimate remedy, starting with monitored natural recovery and adding engineering actions as needed to satisfy the project's objectives; 4) an incentive process that encourages and rewards risk reduction; and 5) pursuit of sediment remediation projects as a public-private collaborative enterprise. These 5 actions provide a clear path for connecting current US regulatory guidance to improved practices that produce better applications of science and risk management and more effective and efficient solutions at contaminated sediment sites.

According to the author, many neutral states secretly released U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) personnel who sought asylum after their aircraft were damaged, despite being obligated by treaty to intern them for the duration of the conflict. It is suggested that Switzerland's permanent status of neutrality resulted in its consisted internment of U.S. airmen, while other states were influenced to release internees by political pressure and by the costs associated with interning belligerents. Details on USAAF personnel interned in Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the Soviet Union are presented.

The authors examine one cohort of the military and its members’ perception of their own ideology in relation to their civilian counterparts using a 2009 survey of cadets at the United States Military Academy. The authors ascertain cadet perceptions of (1) cadet ideological leanings on individual and aggregate levels, (2) the ideological leanings of the civilian population, and (3) the civilian population’s assessment of the military’s ideological leanings. The authors attempt to discern whether or not this military subpopulation perceives itself as different from the rest of society. The authors find that while members of the Army’s future officer corps perceive themselves as more conservative than their civilian peers and society writ large, as a group they hold rather moderate political views.

This article examines the Bundeswehr's re-armament and its operational and tactical organization as well as the weapons systems, most notably the development of a whole new generation of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles or personnel carriers that were far superior to either their Soviet or American counterparts. The article likewise examines the incorporation of tactics and operational doctrine employed by the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front (1941–1945) during World War II.

There have been spikes of interest, energy, and results in their use over the years. However, there is little sustained use of computers as they could be used to permit students to learn and do mathematics. To be effective computers need to be embedded in the learning process. They need to be ubiquitous and part of every student's learning kit. Indeed, they should be a first tool of choice for most of what students do with mathematics; that is, plotting, algebraic manipulation, optimization, playing “what if” games, data analysis, etc. I outline a number of scenarios and experiences to show just how pervasive computer use can and should be. I put computer use in context with its most important applications for teaching mathematics—namely, modeling and inquiry or problem-based learning.

In particular, community-specific adjustments such as the community tolerance level (CTL, the DNL at which 50% of survey respondents are highly annoyed) and community tolerance spread (CTS, the difference between the DNL at which 90% and 10% are highly annoyed) are considered. The results strongly support models characterizing annoyance on a community-by-community basis, rather than with complete pooling and analysis of all available surveys. The most likely model was found to be a 2-parameter logistic model, with CTL and CTS fit independently to survey data from each community.

These Doppler signatures are generated by various components of the human body while walking, and contain unique features that can be used for human detection and recognition. Although, a significant amount of research has been done in radio frequency regime for human Doppler signature extraction, considerably less has been done in acoustics. In this work, 40 kHz ultrasonic sonar is employed to measure the Doppler signature generated by the motion of body segments using different electronic and signal processing schemes. These schemes are based on both analog and digital demodulation with homodyne and heterodyne receiver circuitry. The results and analyses from these different schemes are presented.

The analysis is based on over 120 000 human classified signals compiled from seven different datasets. The study implements linear and Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) support vector machines (SVM) to classify blast sounds. Using the orthogonal centroid dimension reduction technique, intuition is developed about the distribution of blast and non-blast feature vectors in high dimensional space. Recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) is then used to eliminate features containing redundant information and rank features according to their ability to separate blasts from non-blasts. Finally, the accuracy of the linear and RBF SVM classifiers is listed for each of the experiments in the dataset, and the weights are given for the linear SVM classifier.

Four experiments were conducted, two in a temperate climate with a hilly terrain and two in a desert climate with a flat terrain, under a variety of meteorological conditions. Sound levels were recorded in three different directions around the source during the summer and winter seasons in each location. Testing occurred over the course of several days for each experiment during all 24 h of the day, and meteorological data were gathered throughout each experiment. The peak levels (LPk), C-weighted sound exposure levels (CSEL), and spectral characteristics of the received sound pressure levels were analyzed. The results show high variability in LPk and CSEL at distances beyond 2 km from the source for each experiment, which was not clearly explained by the time of day the blasts occurred. Also, as expected, higher frequency energy is attenuated more drastically than the lower frequency energy as the distance from the source increases. These data serve as a reference for long-distance blast sound propagation.

Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America's prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America's counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

This study challenges these assumptions and measures the CSR orientations of managers of defense firms. The findings reveal the orientations of defense firm managers to be consistent with those of other corporate populations, though the highly regulated environment of defense contracting causes some differences. The findings help to redeem the social standing of defense firms, and by implication, their employees and the military members who use their products, from unwarranted antimilitary biases.

The Guard's roles, responsibilities, and relationships with the states and the federal government have changed significantly since the end of the Vietnam War, from "weekend warriors" to an integral component of the national security enterprise. The paper begins by defining the Guard and its constitutional role in American national security, and then evaluates the state of the political science literature on the National Guard. It illustrates changes to the Guard using three recent cases: the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, and Hurricane Katrina. Finally, it explores potential implications of these cases and other recent events on the future role of the National Guard in American politics.

These changes, while intended to redefine the purposes and functions of the U.S. reserve force, at times had unanticipated effects on the individual reservist’s experience of and identity with reserve military service. Emergent identities include the obliged-conscripted citizen soldier, weekend warrior, instrumental volunteer, identity seeker, soldier warrior, and conservative ideologue. The author elaborates on these identities and their association with geopolitical events and corresponding responses in the U.S. national defense strategy and concludes by discussing the implications of more recent identities for adequately staffing and readying the U.S. reserve force.

The term is used to describe modern conflicts, which are neither purely asymmetric nor purely conventional, but hybrids that display traits from both forms of warfare. The failure of international law, particularly the Law of Armed Conflict, to evolve with the hybridization of war is discussed. It notes that the law has proven incapable of satisfactorily resolving the myriad of legal issues arising from modern warfare.

Of the seven trials of prehospital hypertonic saline in dextran (HSD) that have been evaluated in systematic reviews, none found an overall between-group difference in survival, but four reported significant subgroup effects. We hypothesised that an avoidable type of collider bias often introduced inadvertently into trauma comparative effectiveness research could explain the incongruous findings. Methods The two most recent HSD trials, a single-site pilot and a multi-site pivotal study, provided data for a secondary analysis to more closely examine the potential for collider bias. The two trials had followed the a priori statistical analysis plan to subgroup patients by a post-randomisation covariate and well-established surrogate for bleeding severity, massive transfusion (MT), ≥10 unit of red blood cells within 24 h of admission. Despite favourable HSD effects in the MT subgroup, opposite effects in the non-transfused subgroup halted the pivotal trial early. In addition to analyzing the data from the two trials, we constructed causal diagrams and performed a meta-analysis of the results from all seven trials to assess the extent to which collider bias could explain null overall effects with subgroup heterogeneity. Results As in previous trials, HSD induced significantly greater increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from prehospital to admission than control crystalloid ( p = 0.003). Proportionately more HSD than control decedents accrued in the non-transfused subgroup, but with paradoxically longer survival. Despite different study populations and a span of over 20 years across the seven trials, the reported mortality effects were consistently null, summary RR = 0.99 ( p = 0.864, homogeneity p = 0.709). Conclusions HSD delayed blood transfusion by modifying standard triggers like SBP with no detectable effect on survival. The reported heterogeneous HSD effects in subgroups can be explained by collider bias that trauma researchers can avoid by improved covariate selection and data capture strategies.

The aims of this investigation were to determine 1) if an acute bout of sprint interval training (SIT) attenuates PPL; and 2) if the attenuation of PPL following 6 wk of SIT is magnified compared with a single session of SIT prior to training in women at-risk for MetS (n = 45; 30-65 yr). Women were randomized to SIT (n = 22) or a nonexercise control (n = 23; CON) for 6 wk. Postprandial responses to a high-fat meal challenge (HFMC) were assessed in the CON group before (B-HFMC) and after (Post-HFMC) without prior exercise and in the SIT group at baseline (B-HFMC) without prior exercise, after an acute bout of SIT (four 30-s all-out sprints with 4-min recovery) prior to (Pre-HFMC), and after the 6-wk intervention (Post-HFMC). Responses to the HFMC were assessed by collecting venous blood samples in the fasted state and at 0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 min postprandial. Compared with baseline, an acute bout of SIT before (Pre-HFMC) and after the 6-wk intervention (Post-HFMC) significantly attenuated fasted TG (P < 0.05; 16.6% and 12.3%, respectively) and postprandial area under the curve (13.1% and 9.7%, respectively; tAUC) TG responses. There was no difference in fasted or tAUC TG responses between Pre-HFMC and Post-HFMC. SIT is an effective mode of exercise to reduce fasted and postprandial TG concentrations in women at-risk for MetS. Six weeks of SIT does not magnify the attenuation of PPL in response to a single session of SIT.

Emerging manufacturing technology, such as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is making mass customization possible in commercial industry. If the Army could produce tailored military ground vehicles that incorporate mission-specific tactics, it would outperform generic systems. To produce such systems, a new systems engineering (SE) process should be developed. Virtual environments are central to the proposed SE/2025 process because they provide a sandbox where soldiers and engineers might directly collaborate to codevelop tactics and technologies simultaneously. The authors' intent is to describe how ground vehicle systems might be developed in 2025 as well as to describe current efforts underway to shape the future.

First, the fundamental frequency generated by the main rotor blades of a rotorcraft was tracked using a fixed-lag smoother. Then, the frequency estimates were used to resample the data using interpolation. Next, the motion-compensated data were further focused using a technique based upon the phase gradient autofocus (PGA) algorithm. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics due to focusing the data. For most of the data, the algorithm focused the harmonics between approximately 10-90 Hz to within 1-2 dB of an estimated upper bound (UB) obtained from conservation of energy and estimates of the Doppler shift. In addition, the algorithm was able to separate two closely spaced frequencies in the spectra of the rotorcraft. The algorithm developed can be used to preprocess data for classification, nulling, and tracking algorithms.

Social factors, specifically societal-level social capital, play a far more important role in explaining patterns of terrorist activity than previously recognized. Social capital can exert pressures that act as both restraint and catalyst for terrorism, making explicit exposition of these differential effects critical. Analysis shows that higher stocks of social capital positively correlate with the number of terrorist groups, but the average attack activity of those groups increase as measures of social capital decline. The complex relationship makes it difficult to draw simple policy implications, but it does offer insight into the role that social dynamics play in terrorist activity.

Subsequently, standoff detection and localization of the scatterers in the presence of a half space is demonstrated with a subspace imaging procedure by exploiting the steady-state, multistatic harmonic scattering responses collected over an aspect-limited aperture. The attenuation rates of the harmonic scattered fields as a function of sensing range are investigated. The Green's function vector in the imaging functional is derived efficiently with the application of second-order-accurate asymptotic propagation techniques, and near-field imaging performance for single and multiple targets is also examined in the presence of noise and linear clutter. This study is intended to provide an analysis and simulation framework needed to facilitate the development of a complementary nonlinear detection capability for an existing near-ground, forward-looking linear imaging radar system.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 52 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 36 EP - 41 SN - 01636804 AB - The proliferation of smart phones with sensing capabilities motivates exploring the applicability limits of (phone-based) mobile sensing. While a phone can directly measure variables such as location, acceleration, and orientation, other interesting quantities one may want to measure have higher-level semantics that a phone does not directly recognize. For example, one might want to map parking lots that are free after hours, or restaurants that are popular after midnight. How can we measure such higher-level logical quantities using sensors on phones? Techniques that address this question fall in the broad area of surrogate sensing, defined as inferring high-level logical quantities by measuring weaker surrogates. The surrogates in question are variables that can be sensed using a phone, but are only weakly related to the original high-level logical quantities one is really after. The key challenge is to exploit appropriate aggregation techniques that leverage the availability of large numbers of phones to overcome the poor quality of individual surrogates. Recently, significant advances have been made in understanding the quality limits of surrogate sensing. This article overviews the main ideas and insights underlying these advances.

The model that we use to characterize targets and generate discrimination features relies on a solution of the inverse UXO problem using the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. Unlike other classification techniques, which often rely on library matching or expert knowledge, our combined clustering/Gaussian-mixture-model approach first uses the inherent properties of the data in feature space to build a custom training list that is then used to score all unknown targets by assigning them a likelihood of being UXO. The ground truth for the most likely candidates is then requested and used to correct the model parameters and reassign the scores. The process is repeated several times until the desired statistical margin is reached, at which point a final dig is produced. Our method could decrease intervention by human experts and, as the results of the blind test show, identify all targets of interest correctly while minimizing false-alarm counts.

The model assumes that the secondary magnetic field measured by a sensor originates from a set of magnetic dipole sources distributed over a volume that coincides with the interrogated area. The Green functions associated with the responding sources are turned into an orthonormal basis using a generalization of the Gram-Schmidt method, enabling one to determine the sources' strengths directly from measured data without having to invert large and potentially ill-conditioned matrices. The method treats multitarget cases naturally and robustly. Several examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the method in the discrimination of unexploded ordnance (UXO). In particular, we analyze data taken by the Time-Domain Electromagnetic Multisensor Towed Array Detection System sensor array at a test stand and during a blind test administered at a UXO live site. The method is highly successful in distinguishing UXO from among other UXO and from accompanying clutter.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 52 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 4808 EP - 4822 SN - 01962892 AB - In this paper, a novel discriminative dictionary learning method is proposed for sparse-representation-based classification (SRC) to label highly dimensional hyperspectral imagery (HSI). In SRC, a dictionary is conventionally constructed using all of the training pixels, which is not only inefficient due to the large size of typical HSI images but also ineffective in capturing class-discriminative information crucial for classification. We address the dictionary design problem with the inspiration from the learning vector quantization technique and propose a hinge loss function that is directly related to the classification task as the objective function for dictionary learning. The resulting online learning procedure systematically “pulls” and “pushes” dictionary atoms so that they become better adapted to distinguish between different classes. In addition, the spatial context for a test pixel within its local neighborhood is modeled using a Bayesian graph model and is incorporated with the sparse representation of a single test pixel in a unified probabilistic framework, which enables further refinement of our dictionary to capture the spatial class dependence that complements the spectral information. Experiments on different HSI images demonstrate that the dictionaries optimized using our method can achieve higher classification accuracy with substantially reduced dictionary size than using the whole training set. The proposed method also outperforms existing dictionary learning methods and attains the state-of-the-art results in both the spectral-only and spatial-spectral settings.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 52 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4404 EP - 4423 SN - 01962892 AB - Sparsity-based unmixing algorithms, exploiting the sparseness property of the abundances, have recently been proposed with promising performances. However, these algorithms are developed for the linear mixture model (LMM), which cannot effectively handle the nonlinear effects. In this paper, we extend the current sparse regression methods for the LMM to bilinear mixture models (BMMs), where the BMMs introduce additional bilinear terms in the LMM in order to model second-order photon scattering effects. To solve the abundance estimation problem for the BMMs, we propose to perform a sparsity-based abundance estimation by using two dictionaries: a linear dictionary containing all the pure endmembers and a bilinear dictionary consisting of all the possible second-order endmember interaction components. Then, the abundance values can be estimated from the sparse codes associated with the linear dictionary. Moreover, to exploit the spatial data structure where the adjacent pixels are usually homogeneous and are often mixtures of the same materials, we first employ the joint-sparsity (row-sparsity) model to enforce structured sparsity on the abundance coefficients. However, the joint-sparsity model is often a strict assumption, which might cause some aliasing artifacts for the pixels that lie on the boundaries of different materials. To deal with this problem, the low-rank-representation model, which seeks the lowest rank representation of the data, is further introduced to better capture the spatial data structure. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms provide much enhanced performance compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.

Recently, a novel architecture known as the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system has been developed for the acquisition of compressive spectral image data with just a few coded focal plane array measurements. This paper focuses on developing a classification approach with hyperspectral images directly from CASSI compressive measurements, without first reconstructing the full data cube. The proposed classification method uses the compressive measurements to find the sparse vector representation of the test pixel in a given training dictionary. The estimated sparse vector is obtained by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem and is then used to directly determine the class of the unknown pixel. The performance of the proposed classifier is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The set of optimal coded apertures is designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Several simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed classifier using optimal coded apertures and the gain in the classification accuracy obtained over using traditional aperture codes in CASSI.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/08/19/ VL - 48 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 9478 EP - 9485 SN - 0013936X AB - Effective management of contaminated sediments is important for long-term human and environmental health, but site-management decisions are often made under high uncertainty and without the help of structured decision support tools. Potential trade-offs between remedial costs, environmental effects, human health risks, and societal benefits, as well as fundamental differences in stakeholder priorities, complicate decision making. Formal decision-analytic tools such as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) move beyond ad hoc decision support to quantitatively and holistically rank management alternatives and add transparency and replicability to the evaluation process. However, even the best decisions made under uncertainty may be found suboptimal in hindsight, once additional scientific, social, economic, or other details become known. Value of information (Vol) analysis extends MCDA by systematically evaluating the impact of uncertainty on a decision. Vol prioritizes future research in terms of expected decision relevance by helping decision makers estimate the likelihood that additional information will improve decision confidence or change their selection of a management plan. In this study, Vol analysis evaluates uncertainty, estimates decision confidence, and prioritizes research to inform selection of a sediment capping strategy for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan contaminated Grenland fjord system in southern Norway. The Vol model extends stochastic MCDA to model decisions with and without simulated new information and compares decision confidence across scenarios with different degrees of remaining uncertainty. Results highlight opportunities for decision makers to benefit from additional information by anticipating the improved decision confidence (or lack thereof) expected from reducing uncertainties for each criterion or combination of criteria. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of Vol analysis for environmental decisions by predicting when decisions can be made confidently, for prioritizing areas of research to pursue to improve decision confidence, and for differentiating between decision-relevant and decision-irrelevant differences in evaluation perspectives, all of which help guide meaningful deliberation toward effective consensus solutions.

AB - During group marches, soldiers must walk in step with one another at the same imposed cadence. The literature suggests that shorter trainees may be more susceptible to injury due to overstriding that can occur when taller recruits dictate marching cadence. This study assessed the effects of fixed cadence simulated marching at cadences above and below preferred step rate (PSR) on lower extremity joint mechanics in individuals who were unaccustomed to marching. During three separate visits, 13 volunteers walked with a 20 kg load on a force-sensing treadmill at self-selected PSR, PSR+15% (shorter strides), and PSR-15% (longer strides) at 1.3 m/s for 60 min. Two-way RM ANOVAs (cadence by time) were performed during the stance phase. Ranges of motion and anteroposterior ground reaction force increased significantly as cadence decreased (P < .03). Knee extension moment increased slightly when step rate decreased from PSR+15% (shortest strides, 0.85 ñ 0.2 N m/kg) to PSR (0.87 ñ 0.3 N m/kg, 3% increase); however, this increase was substantially greater (20% increase) when cadence was decreased from PSR to PSR-15% (longest strides, 1.09 ñ 0.3 N m/kg). Our results indicate that overstriding during fixed-cadence marching is a factor that can substantially increase mechanical stress on lower extremity joints.

The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population.

Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database, the number of clavicle fractures presenting to a representative sample of US hospitals was retrospectively calculated and weighted estimates used to extrapolate this data to the US population. Incidence estimates were obtained using validated analyses and US census data, with sports injuries being noted and fractures stratified by sport. A total of 9 428 fractures of the clavicle were reported, representing 357 155 injuries in the US population over 5 years. The estimated incidence of clavicle fractures in the US presenting for emergency care is 24.4 fractures per 100 000 person-years (95 % confidence intervals (CI), 22.8-26.1). The peak incidence was highest between ages 10-19 years. Men were nearly 3 times as likely to sustain a clavicle fracture. Sports were a factor in 45 % of all clavicle fractures. In sports-related injuries, 16 % of fractures occurred from bicycling, followed by football (12 %) and soccer (6 %). In summary, injuries from bicycling were the most common cause of clavicle fracture, followed by contact sports. Male gender and younger age are risk factors for clavicle fractures.

However, recent work has found that individuals who are vulnerable to depression report poorer sleep quality compared to their low-risk counterparts, suggesting that sleep disturbance may precede depression. In addition, both sleep disturbance and depression are related to deficits in cognitive control processes. Thus we examined if poor sleep quality predicts subsequent increases in depressive symptoms and if levels of cognitive control mediated this relation.Methods: Thirty-five undergraduate students participated in two experimental sessions separated by 3 weeks. Participants wore an actigraph watch between sessions, which provided an objective measure of sleep patterns. We assessed self-reported sleep quality and depressive symptoms at both sessions. Last, individuals completed an exogenous cuing task, which measured ability to disengage attention from neutral and negative stimuli during the second session.Results: Using path analyses, we found that both greater self-reported sleep difficulty and more objective sleep stability measures significantly predicted greater difficulty disengaging attention (i.e., less cognitive control) from negative stimuli. Less cognitive control over negative stimuli in turn predicted increased depression symptoms at the second session. Exploratory associations among the circadian locomotor output cycles kaput gene, CLOCK, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs11932595, as well as sleep assessments and depressive symptoms also are presented.Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that sleep disruptions may contribute to increases in depressive symptoms via their impact on cognitive control. Further, variation in the CLOCK gene may be associated with sleep quality.

The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW_00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass.

Overall, participants completed their tasks significantly faster with the SDs in three-dimensional (3D) mode than with the SDs in the baseline 2D mode. They also navigated more accurately with the SDs in 3D mode. When the effectiveness of the two types of SDs was examined separately, results showed that the active shutter-glasses SD resulted in faster responses and task completion times than the passive polarised SD, though most of the differences failed to reach statistical significance. Perceived workload when interacting with the two SD systems did not differ significantly between the active versus passive display types or between the 3D and 2D modes of operation; however, participants reported more severe discomfort after interacting with the passive polarised SD. Practitioner Summary: This study demonstrated the utility of SDs for enhancing operators' navigation-related performance. The results furthered the understanding of the differential effectiveness of an active stereoscopic system versus a passive system. The findings will facilitate the implementation of stereoscopic systems for robotics control and indirect-vision driving in military settings.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 27 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 352 EP - 359 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - 2,4-dintitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) is an explosive frequently found in the soil of military installations. Because reptiles can be common on these sites, ecological risk assessments for compounds such as 2,4-DNT could be improved with toxicity data specific to reptiles. Western fence lizards, Sceloporus occidentalis, were used to develop a laboratory toxicity model for reptiles. A hierarchical approach was used; acute to subchronic studies were conducted to provide toxicity data relevant to short- and longterm exposures. First, a modified median lethal dose (LD50) study was conducted on male and female lizards using a stage-wise probit model. The LD50 was 577 mg/kg for female and 380 mg/kg for male lizards. Subsequently, a subacute experiment was conducted to further assess 2,4-DNT toxicity to male lizards and to define exposure levels for a longer term, subchronic study. The subchronic study was conducted for 60 consecutive days; male lizards were exposed to 0, 9, 15, 25, 42, 70 mg/kg/d. Dosedependent mortality was observed in the three highest dose groups (25, 42, and 70 mg/kg/d); all other animals survived the study duration. Benchmark dose model calculations based on mortality indicated a 5% effect level of 15.8 mg/kg/d. At study termination, a gross necropsy was performed, organ weights were taken, and blood was collected for clinical and hematological analysis. Body weight, kidney weight, food consumption, postdose observations, and blood chemistries all were found to be significantly different from controls at doses above 9 mg/kg/d. Also, preliminary results suggest behavioral observations, and reduced food consumption may be a sensitive indicator of toxicity. The present study indicates Sceloporus occidentalis is suitable for evaluating toxicity of compounds to reptilian species.

This study compares sampling system performance for varions particle types and sizes. Methods and Results: Performances of five concentrators were characterized with five nonviable and viable laboratory aerosols, although not every concentrator was tested with all aerosol types. For particle sizes less than c. 6 μm aerodynamic diameter, similar efficiencies are obtained for all test particles; however, for larger sizes there is a significant difference between liquid and dry particles. Conclusions: Aluminium oxide particles provide results over a broad range of sizes with a single test, but the method is less reproducible than other methods. A combination of monodisperse polystyrene spheres and oleic acid droplets provides an accurate representation of the system performance, but ultimately biological particle tests are needed. Significance and Impact of the Study: Devices are being developed for concentrating bioaerosol particles in the size range of 1–10 μm aerodynamic diameter and this study provides insight into data quality for different test methodologies. Also, the results show some current concentrators perform quite poorly.

Analysis of the transcriptome showed that expression of 45% of the genome was significantly affected by oxidative stress. The gene expression patterns suggested that exposure to oxidative stress induced an acute response to rapidly minimize the immediate effects of reactive oxygen species, then upon extended exposure a broad metabolic response was induced. This metabolic response induced genes encoding enzymes that can supply reducing power for detoxification and restore energy-generating capacity. An integral aspect of the metabolic response was downregulation of genes related to translation and biosynthesis which correlated with decreased growth and entry into a stationary phase-like growth state. Examination of oxyR mutants showed that they were impaired for the acute response and they induced the expanded metabolic response with only minimal exposure to stress. The oxyR mutants were more sensitive to oxidants in vitro and in vivo they were attenuated in an intra-abdominal abscess infection model. Aerotolerance and resistance to oxidative stress are physiological adaptations of B. fragilis to its environment that enhance survival in extra-intestinal sites and promote opportunistic infections.

AB - This study benchmarked rates of mental health problems, adjustment difficulties, and perceptions of unit climate among 505 U.S. soldiers (primarily National Guard) deployed to the Horn of Africa in 2012. In addition, the study examined whether differences across these outcomes exist between combat veterans (n = 239) and noncombat veterans (n = 242). Rates of mental health problems among soldiers on this noncombat deployment were lower than rates typically found among soldiers on combat deployments. Furthermore, soldiers without previous combat experience had lower rates of mental health problems and aggression than combat veterans. Similar differences were evident when adjustment difficulties and unit climate variables were compared. Although combat veterans could be valuable in training new soldiers, the results of this study indicate that combat veterans may need more targeted resources to facilitate their adjustment if they are to be optimally utilized.

AB - Measurement of functional impairment is a priority for the military and other professional work groups routinely exposed to stressful traumatic events as part of their occupation. Standard measures of impairment used in general or chronically ill populations contain many items not suitable for these populations, and include mental health symptoms items that are not true measures of functioning. We created a new, 14-item scale—the Walter Reed Functional Impairment Scale—to assess functioning in 4 domains (physical, occupational, social, and personal). We asked 3,380 soldiers how much difficulty they currently have in each of the 4 domains on a 5-point scale. Behaviorally based psychosocial and occupational performance measures and general health questions were used to validate the scale. The utility of the scale was assessed against clinical measures of psychopathology and physical health (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], general health, generalized physical symptoms). We utilized Cronbach’s alpha, item response theory, and the score test for trend to establish consistency of items and the validity of the scale. The scale exhibited excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α= 0.92) and validity. The individual items and quartiles of sum scores were strongly correlated with negative occupational and social performance, and the utility of the scale was demonstrated by strong correlations with depression, PTSD, and high levels of generalized physical symptoms. This scale exhibits excellent psychometric properties in this sample of U.S. soldiers and, pending future research, is likely to have utility for other healthy occupational groups.

AB - The purpose of this article was to determine proximal and distal antecedents of leadership in the U.S. Army’s Officer Candidate School (OCS). A model composed of motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, implicit leadership, organizational commitment, general cognitive ability, and personality was proposed. Results from a longitudinal examination of 1,232 officer candidates suggest partial support for the model, and limited evidence for enlisted experience as a moderator. Candidate personality (partially mediated by interest in leadership and leadership self-efficacy) best predicted leadership performance during OCS and peer ratings of leadership potential. Implications for OCS selection and models of leadership performance are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

It needs to identify and develop individuals who can adapt to many different mission types and to the various environments in which the Army operates, develop the strategic and tactical leadership skills necessary to perform effectively in higher ranks, and embrace the Army’s warrior ethos. To create a performance-based foundation for accessing, assigning, training, and retaining officers, we conducted a job analysis study. Using Army doctrine, protocol, training manuals, and input from a number of Army officers, we identified 46 leader and management major duties that officers must perform with a high level of competence. The list is intended to be relevant for all Army officer positions and levels up to lieutenant colonel, though the relative importance of and time spent on specific duties varies by level, position, branch, and mission. We also identified 55 stable individual difference attributes and attitudes that underlie the determinants of officer performance and retention. We framed our study according to 2 models of job performance, 1 specifying the determinants of job performance and the other specifying the major components of job performance. The integrated models provide a theoretical basis for designing personnel systems or interventions to impact specific components of officer performance and for predicting their likely outcomes.

AB - The U.S. Military Academy has historically used an academically weighted composite of aptitude, leadership, and physical ability indices for selection of candidates and to predict their performance at the Academy. Researchers at West Point have begun to investigate the incremental contribution of a variety of less traditional nonaptitude or noncognitive factors in predicting performance. Particular focus has centered on hardiness and grit because they have been shown to predict persistence through Cadet Basic Training (CBT) and achievement in the first year at the Academy. In the current investigation, we further examined the predictive validity of grit and hardiness, and their subfacets, on retention and performance through the full 4-year West Point program with data from 1,558 cadets, comprising the West Point classes of 2009 and 2010. Results of regression analyses indicate that whereas grit interest and hardiness commitment were the sole predictors of attrition from CBT, only grit effort predicted persistence across the remaining 4 year period. College Entrance Exam Rank (CEER), a traditional measure of academic success, did not predict persistence. In terms of performance, grit interest, and hardiness control added to CEER in the prediction of 4-year academic performance. Although CEER continued to be the best predictor of military performance, grit effort and hardiness commitment were also important contributors. Finally, grit effort also added to the Athletic Activities Score and CEER in predicting physical performance. These results indicate that the noncognitive factors grit and hardiness are important predictors of success in military officer candidates. We discuss the implication of our findings for selection and prediction of performance of within military environments. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

This study evaluated the effectiveness of computerized oculomotor vision screening (COVS) in a military population. Oculomotor functions were assessed with COVS and by conventional methods in 20 U.S. military personnel with and 20 without mTBI. The validity of COVS was determined by Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman method or the kappa coefficient. The repeatability of the COVS was assessed with the coefficient of repeatability or the kappa coefficient. The results showed that COVS had high sensitivity and specificity for screening near oculomotor functions. Overall, the COVS showed excellent validity and repeatability for assessing near lateral and vertical phorias, Worth 4 Dot, and fixation, as well as pursuit and saccadic eye movements. Despite the strong Pearson correlation, the Bland-Altman analysis identified minor to moderate discrepancies for both positive and negative fusional vergence and their associated recovery as well as for the monocular accommodative facility measurements. This study demonstrated that non-eye-care professionals may be able to use the COVS as a tool to efficiently screen oculomotor functions in a military population with or without mTBI.

This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors.

Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

This article assesses how diversification of a system of coastal protections might decrease the probabilities of extreme flood losses. The study compares the performance of portfolios each consisting of four types of flood protection assets in a large region of dike rings. A parametric analysis suggests conditions in which diversifications of the types of included flood protection assets decrease extreme flood losses. Increased return periods of extreme losses are associated with portfolios where the asset types have low correlations of economic risk. The effort highlights the importance of understanding correlations across asset types in planning for large-scale flood protection. It allows explicit integration of climate change scenarios in developing flood mitigation strategy.

A secondary purpose was to compare the consistency of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. Vector-coding methods were used to quantify coupling in the sagittal and transverse planes of the knee between full extension and 20 degrees of flexion as 10 males and 10 females walked, ascended and descended stairs, and performed a passive pendulum leg drop. An ANOVA showed no main effect of gender. There was a main effect of task, where coupling during the stance phase of walking was significantly greater than each of the other tasks. Intraclass correlation values suggested that males were slightly more consistent than females. A general lack of divergence between genders may be related to the tasks analyzed in this study. It is possible that more strenuous tasks may elicit larger differences.

The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolic requirements of servicemembers with transtibial amputations wearing a loaded rucksack and walking at a steady speed. We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have rede­ployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more tax­ing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations.

The majority of chest pain is musculoskeletal in origin, yet differentiating these from other more serious conditions should be the initial primary focus. The ability to reproduce the patient's symptoms aids in the differential diagnostic process. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the use of dry needling (DN) to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall pain. Case Descriptions: A 22 year-old male military athlete with anterior chest pain, refractory to traditional physical therapy, was evaluated and treated with dry needling.Outcomes: Favorable results were achieved as demonstrated by clinically meaningful improvements in the Patient Specific Functional Scale, the Global Rating of Change score, and his physical performance which allowed this athlete to return to competition and military training. Conclusion: Dry needling in the hands of properly trained providers may aid in diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall syndromes.

Objective: To investigate the ability of 2 types of bridging-exercise progressions to facilitate lateral abdominal muscles during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals with LBP. Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-bytime interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant.

Objectives: To examine reliability of the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), evaluate the effects of arm dominance on UQYBT performance, and to determine how the UQYBT is related to specific components of the test (trunk rotation, core stability and UE function and performance) in a college-aged population.Methods: A sample of healthy college students performed the UQYBT and a series of 6 additional dynamic tests designed to assess trunk rotation, core stability, and UE performance. The relationship of these tests compared to the UQYBT was assessed. The effect of upper limb dominance for the UQYBT was also explored. Finally, test re-test reliability was established for the UQYBT. Results: Thirty subjects (24 males, 6 females, mean ages 19.5 ± 1.2 and 18.8 ± 0.8 years) were assessed during the study. The test re-test reliability was excellent for UQYBT measurements (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9). A significant (p <0.05) fair to moderate association was observed between the UQYBT and several core stability and UE functional tests. There was no significant difference in UQYBT performance between dominant and non-dominant limbs. Discussion: The UQYBT is a reliable UE CKC test that can be used to assess unilateral UE function in a closed chain manner. The UQYBT appears to be most related to dynamic tests involving core stability and UE performance. Similarity on the UQYBT between dominant and non-dominant limbs indicates that performance on this test using a noninjured UE may serve as a reasonable measure for "normal" when testing an injured UE. Future research is needed to determine the clinical applicability of the UQYBT.

It is unclear how cultural variables impact alcohol use in Hispanic college populations. Here, the relationships between gender, bicultural identity, familism, and adherence to traditional gender roles with heavy episodic drinking (HED) in a Hispanic college sample are assessed. Participants, 80 males and 80 females, were asked to complete a questionnaire packet, which assessed demographic information, as well as measures designed to rate drinking amount and frequency, bicultural integration, familism, and traditional gender role adherence. Average age of the sample was 19.9 years (SD = 3.05), in which the majority of participants were classified as either Freshmen or Sophomores (88.8%). Overall, 47.5% of participants reported engaging in HED, with 51% of men and 44% of women reporting HED. Univariate analyses along with logistic regression were utilized to assess possible differences and correlates of HED. Neither individual predictors nor the overall model were statistically significant. These findings suggest the need for continued assessment of HED in Hispanic college students using other culturally based constructs, as well as psychosocial factors that are found to predict heavy drinking in other ethnocultural college-aged students.

However, the mechanisms which fuel resilience are relatively unexplored This study explored the hypothesis that perceived psychological resilience mediates the relationship between various sport- related psychological skills and indicators of PTSD. The sample was 351 Stryker Brigade soldiers who had at least one previous combat deployment. Results showed that perceived psychological resilience fully mediates the relationship between three sport-related psychological skill factors and indicators of PTSD. These results suggest that sport-related psychological skills may play a role in the development of perceived psychological resilience, which in turn, influences PTSD.

Competing factors include, but are not limited to, sustainable design or green buildings; security, hardening or force protection; accessibility; historic preservation; aesthetics; and functionality. Yet, unlimited resources are seldom, if ever, available to fulfill all of these competing requirements in private or public construction. The Georgia Institute of Technology designed a decision matrix to allow owners and planners to balance these competing requirements on a project-by-project basis and to document the rationale.

This work studies the applicability of a multizone airflow and contaminant transport model (CONTAM 2.1) in the simulation of indoor dispersion of particles under human activity disturbance. An iterative method is suggested to complement CONTAM 2.1, by tracking the transient particle concentration on floor surface due to dynamic deposition and resuspension process. A three-zone building with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is used as the simulation case to test the convergence and accuracy of this algorithm under different particle-release scenarios. The algorithm shows a very fast convergence speed in the simulation. Comparisons of calculation results between the multizone model and the analytical model show good agreement and verify the accuracy of the multizone model simulation. The airborne particle concentration profiles and human breathing dose are also analyzed for the three-zone building model.

The primary purpose of the modeling was to generate example exposure data to be used in the development of a comprehensive microbial risk assessment methodology. However, these results are also of intrinsic interest for what they reveal about the contribution of various building characteristics to risk from airborne contaminants. A variety of parameters were varied, including building construction, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system design, and release characteristics, among others. Results of these simulations demonstrate the variability of exposure possible under different scenarios and, more particularly, the impact that HVAC design decisions can have on risk. Although a single building and restricted set of scenarios was investigated, several general conclusions could be drawn regarding factors, such as HVAC zoning and filter maintenance, that intrinsically contribute to vulnerability reduction.

They wanted an analysis of IMA's use of four geographical regions to manage installations in the continental United States. We interviewed stakeholders to identify the functions of the IMA regional organization. We used decision analysis to define the potential value added of various regional alternatives by measuring how well each alternative would perform the functions. The measures captured the effectiveness and efficiency of the regional organization for each function. We then developed and evaluated several regional alternatives (one region, two regions, three regions, four regions, five regions, and eight regions). Using decision analysis, we showed that four was a reasonable number of regions to manage installations effectively. We demonstrated that decreasing the number of regions below four would significantly reduce the value regions added to installation management and increasing the number would provide little additional benefit.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology Y1 - 2007/12// VL - 46 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2098 EP - 2109 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 15588424 AB - Boundary layer wind data observed by a Doppler lidar and sonic anemometers during the mornings of three intensive observational periods (IOP2, IOP3, and IOP7) of the Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) field experiment are analyzed to extract the mean and turbulent characteristics of airflow over Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A strong nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) dominated the flow in the boundary layer over the measurement domain from midnight to the morning hours. Lidar scans through the LLJ taken after sunrise indicate that the LLJ elevation shows a gradual increase of 25–100 m over the urban area relative to that over the upstream suburban area. The mean wind speed beneath the jet over the urban area is about 10%–15% slower than that over the suburban area. Sonic anemometer observations combined with Doppler lidar observations in the urban and suburban areas are also analyzed to investigate the boundary layer turbulence production in the LLJ-dominated atmospheric boundary layer. The turbulence kinetic energy was higher over the urban domain mainly because of the shear production of building surfaces and building wakes. Direct transport of turbulent momentum flux from the LLJ to the urban street level was very small because of the relatively high elevation of the jet. However, since the LLJ dominated the mean wind in the boundary layer, the turbulence kinetic energy in the urban domain is correlated directly with the LLJ maximum speed and inversely with its height. The results indicate that the jet Richardson number is a reasonably good indicator for turbulent kinetic energy over the urban domain in the LLJ-dominated atmospheric boundary layer.

Heterogeneous surface characteristics result in significant differences in upwind fetch and, therefore, statistically significant differences in measured values, even for small changes in wind direction. Taller upwind obstructions yield larger measured values of drag coefficient and turbulence intensity than do shorter upwind obstructions regardless of whether the obstruction is a building or a tree. The fraction of turbulent kinetic energy going into streamwise, cross-stream, and vertical variances differs depending on the upwind fetch, and reduced cross-stream values may indicate locations of persistent wind stream convergence. In addition, a quadrant analysis of burst/sweep behavior near the surface is examined as a function of wind direction in urban and suburban environments.

Net lactate migration rate on the order of 5 cm2/V day is measured in sand from cathode towards the anode. The ionic injection in sand was dependent on current density; however, the increase in electric current did not result in an equivalent increase in lactate transport due to development of an appreciable electroosmotic (EO) flow from the anode to the cathode. While high EO flow (ke on the order 10-6 to 10-5 cm2/V s) occurred in clay samples, ion migration from cathode to anode is the dominant transport process under relatively high current density (5.3 A/m2 in this study) and can be used as an effective transport mechanism for negatively charged additives. An effective lactate reactive transport rate of more than 3 cm/d (under 1 V/cm) can be achieved in clays, which is at least two orders of magnitude greater than hydraulic injection under unit hydraulic gradient. Even though lactate concentrations in the clay were below 10% of the boundary value due to biological transformation, these concentrations (few 100 s mg/L) are high enough to maintain microbial activities capable of degrading organic contaminants. At the same time, control experiments showed that, while lactate adsorption was negligible, hydraulic injection under a unit gradient was ineffective because of the low hydraulic conductivity of clay and the biodegradation of lactate.

SN - 00068314 AB - Wind and tracer data from the Oklahoma City Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) and the Manhattan Madison Square Garden 2005 (MSG05) urban field experiments are being analyzed to aid in understanding air flow and dispersion near street-level in built-up downtown areas. The mean winds are separately calculated for groups of anemometers having similar exposures such as “near street level” and “on building top”. Several general results are found, such as the scalar wind speed at street level is about 1/3 of that at building top. Turbulent standard deviations of wind speed components and temperature, and vertical fluxes of momentum and sensible heat, are calculated from sonic anemometers near street level at 20 locations in JU2003 and five locations in MSG05, and from two rooftop locations in MSG05. The turbulence observations are consistent with observations in the literature at other cities, although the JU2003 and MSG05 data are unique in that many data are available near street level. For example, it is found that the local (i.e., at the measuring height) $$\sigma_{w}/u_{\ast}$$ averages about 1.5 and the local $$u_{\ast}/u$$ averages about 0.25 in the two cities, where $$\sigma_{w}$$ is the standard deviation of vertical velocity fluctuations, $$u_{\ast}$$ is the friction velocity, and u is the wind speed. The ratio of temperature fluctuations to temperature scale, $$\sigma_{T}/T_{\ast}$$ , averages about −3 in both cities, consistent with similarity theory for slightly unstable conditions, where $$\sigma_{T}$$ is the standard deviation of temperature fluctuations, and $$T_{\ast}$$ is the temperature scale. The calculated Obukhov length, L, is also consistent with slightly unstable conditions near street level, even at night during JU2003. The SF6 tracer concentration observations from JU2003 are analyzed. Values of $$uC_{max}/Q$$ for the continuous releases are calculated for each release and arc distance, where $$C_{max}$$ is the 30-min average arc maximum concentration, Q is the continuous source emission rate, and u is the spatial-averaged wind speed in the downtown area. The basic characteristics of the JU2003 plot of averaged $$uC_{max}/Q$$ agree reasonably well with similar plots for other urban experiments in Salt Lake City and London (i.e., at $$x < 1000 m, C_{max}/Q = Ax^{-2})$$ . A is found to be about 3 during the day and about 10 during the night.

JO - Journal of Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2007/12// VL - 133 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1106 EP - 1116 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339372 AB - Devils Lake in North Dakota is a terminal, multibasin, saline lake with an overall surface area that is currently approximately 44,520 ha(110,000 acres). Lake elevation has increased by more than 7 m within 10 years, and vast areas of prairie and cropland have been flooded. The lake is rich in sulfate, and water column sulfate concentrations are relatively uniform within each of the five major basins, but increase from 3.1 mM(300 mg/L) in West Bay to 31 mM(3,000 mg/L) in East Devils Lake. Sediment cores were collected from three of the basins at different water depths, and used in laboratory studies to evaluate the spatial distribution of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activity in the lake sediments. The high sulfate concentrations within the experimental sediment cores suggest that the activity of SRB is limited by the availability of suitable electron donors rather than by the availability of sulfate and that SRB activity can be defined by a zero-order volumetric rate constant (K0). Experimentally determined K0 values ranged from 11 to 88 mmolSO42-m-3 day-1. The water depths from which sediment cores were collected in Devils Lake are related to the elapsed time since inundation by the rising lake level. It was found that time since inundation influences the observed K0 value. Mean K0 values for cores from an average depth of 4.8 m (submergence time of about 5 years), and 9.4 m (submergence time of about 28 years) were 62 and 17 mmolSO42-m-3 day-1, respectively. The significant difference (two-tailed t-test, p<0.05) suggests that SRB activities in the Devils Lake sediments change with submergence times. A uniform sulfate reduction rate applied to all Devils Lake sediments is therefore only a crude approximation of reality.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: The study was done to determine whether thermal comfort (TC), thermal sensation (TS), and subjective factors gauging environmental stress were negatively affected with different cooling methods in men exercising in chemical protective clothing.Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent regional cooling improved the efficacy of cooling as compared with constant cooling (CC), but no studies have addressed whether there is any improvement in thermal comfort.Methods: Eight male volunteers exercised at moderate work intensity (425 W) in three microclimate cooling tests. The circulating fluid in the cooling garment was provided during exercise to the head (6% body surface area [BSA]), torso (22% BSA), and thighs (44% BSA) and manipulated under three methods: (a) CC, (b) pulsed cooling (PC), and (c) PC activated by mean skin temperature (T(sk)) control (PC(skin)). TC and TS ratings were recorded every 20 min during the 80-min test.Results: TC and TS ratings were not different for PC(skin) and CC; thus the participants perceived PC(skin) as being similar to CC. TS was significantly warmer with PC than with PC(skin) and CC (p < .001). In PC(skin), T(sk) was significantly higher than in PC and CC (p < .001), and PC(skin) was rated as being not as warm as PC according to TS.Conclusion: This indicates that the PC(skin) method was perceived as being as cool as CC and cooler than PC.Application: These findings indicate that the PC(skin) cooling method is an acceptable alternative to CC and PC based on human perceptions.

SN - 1618954X AB - The use of vinyl ester (VE) resins in the composites industry has increased in the last decade, and the trend is projected to continue. Styrene is a commonly used co-monomer in VE resins, which acts as a reactive diluent and is required in many liquid molding methods to reduce viscosity and increase gel time. The emission rate of styrene from VE resins is affected by various parameters, including styrene content, temperature, and resin surface-to-volume ratio. This study experimentally measured the effect of these parameters on styrene emission rates from VE resins. It was observed that the emission rate and amount of styrene decreased with decreasing surface-to-volume ratio, temperature, and styrene content. It is also shown that diffusion coefficient and evaporation coefficient of styrene have an exponential relationship with temperature, while they remained constant with initial styrene concentration and aspect ratio. Emission rate and amount decreased with increasing resin initial depth to radius ratio. The emission profiles were self-similar for different aspect ratios and were scaled by the ratio of the instantaneous sample depth to radius. Overall, the effect of these various parameters on the emission profile can be accurately modeled using a modification of a simple one-dimensional diffusion model based on the Crank solution to diffusion through a planar sheet.

Methods and Results: In an experimental chamber in which spores settled onto sampling surfaces, vapourous hydrogen peroxide (VHP) was used for decontamination between experiments. It was demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) absorbed into plastic (Plexiglas®) surfaces and could outgas in the sample holders. Further experiments demonstrated that H2O2 was released from Plexiglas® sample holders in sufficient quantity to inactivate spores. High temperature degassing (30–35°C) for several days or aluminum coating of the surfaces were two remedies found to be effective in preventing inadvertent spore inactivation. Conclusions: H2O2 can be absorbed into plastic and released after an extended period of time (weeks), allowing a sufficient concentration to accumulate in small volumes to inactivate spores. Outgassing the plastic or coating the surface with an impermeable layer are potential solutions to reduce spore inactivation. Significance and Impact of the Study: Many studies with bacilli and other organisms are carried out using small plastic containers that may have been sterilized using H2O2 or other agents. This study presents a cautionary note to ensure elimination of H2O2 or other sterilizing agents to prevent spurious results.

Given that numerous generations of the receptors have lived through the contaminated site condition by the present day, a paradigm shift from risk assessment, where the potential for health effects are forecasted, to a direct, health status assessment scheme for the site-exposed receptor, would seem to be most appropriate. We applied the only such existing direct health status assessment method, Rodent Sperm Analysis (RSA), with small rodents trapped at contaminated sites and at matched noncontaminated reference locations. Reproductive health, ecological risk assessment’s endpoint of greatest concern, is targeted with RSA by comparing the sperm parameters of count, motility, and morphology, for each of which it is known how much of a change from a control condition signifies compromised reproductive capability. Given that sperm parameter thresholds were not exceeded in maximally exposed receptors, the data suggest that in the general case, contaminated terrestrial sites do not need cleanups to afford health protection to ecological species, and particularly the larger, wider-ranging, higher trophic level species. Our findings suggest that RSA has the ability to consistently discriminate between clean and contaminated sites, and that the method can allow for as definitive determinations of terrestrial ecological receptor health as are possible, thereby facilitating early site clean-up decisions.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/10// VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2215 EP - 2225 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Use of small arms during training is an important activity associated with the development and proficiency of soldiers. These weapons traditionally have used copper-jacketed lead projectiles; the copper facilitates the oxidation of the metallic lead resulting in more mobile oxides and carbonates. Consequently, many ranges at installations have high soil concentrations of lead. Many of these ranges are no longer used and have become habitat for wildlife. To address the potential for adverse effects from lead exposure in songbirds, we compared the outputs of traditional deterministic exposure models with a spatial model and compared the results of both with blood-lead levels from songbird species at two small arms range complexes. An integrative data collection procedure was used and incorporated into the spatially explicit exposure model (SEEM) for two small arms range sites. Site-specific data were used to refine model input parameters. These data included lead soil concentrations, analysis of lead concentrations in nestling food items, acid-insoluble ash content of feces (to estimate soil ingestion), location and mapping of singing males, and nest site location and characteristics. Territorial males also were spot-mapped to determine likelihood of breeding activity. Modeled estimates of risk were compared with blood and feather lead levels of adults and nestlings. Overall, edge species had higher blood-lead concentrations; however, most had concentrations below subclinical effect levels. Conventional deterministic methods produced risk estimates exceeding 10-fold the highest SEEM estimates. The spatially explicit exposure model provided good agreement with field observations and therefore produced more accurate risk estimates. The present study provides support for the application of spatial methods over conventional deterministic methods.

T1 - EFFECTS OF SUBCHRONIC EXPOSURE TO 2,6-DINITROTOLUENE IN THE NORTHERN BOBWHITE (COLINUS VIRGINIANUS). JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/10// VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2202 EP - 2207 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Explosives and their breakdown products are commonly found in soils at U.S. military installations. Many areas where these compounds are found represent useful habitat for ground-foraging birds. Because these birds likely are exposed to such compounds, we evaluated the oral toxicity of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT) in a representative ground-foraging species of management concern. Adult male and female northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were exposed to either 0, 5, 10, 40, or 60 mg/kg/d via gavage for 60 d (subchronic) following determination of the median acute lethal dose (320 mg/kg). Circulating levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner; however, levels remained within normal ranges. Plasma concentrations of total protein, albumin, globulin, aspartate aminotransferase, and potassium, sodium, and chlorine ions were significantly decreased, and circulating levels of uric acid were significantly increased. Decreased body weight, enlarged gallbladders, edematous gastrointestinal tracts, pale kidneys, pale and fibrous livers, and loose stools were consistent observations. The effects found in the clinical chemistries taken together with histopathological abnormalities observed in sections of hepatic and renal tissue suggest that the liver and kidneys are major targets for 2,6-DNT. Oral exposures to 2,6-DNT appear to affect northern bobwhite in a manner similar to that of the other main DNT isomer, 2,4-DNT, but in more subtle ways, adversely affecting the gastrointestinal system and leading to diarrhea and, ultimately, emaciation. The lowest-observed-adverse-effect level is 40 mg/kg/d based on hematological measures, and the no-observed-adverse-effect level is 10 mg/kg/d based on the absence of results indicative of adverse effects.

It also offers the potential for exposure to numerous infectious agents not commonly encountered in the United States. Families must begin to prepare for travel to Asia weeks before departure. Children should be up to date on routine vaccinations. Appropriate education should be given on arthropod avoidance and malaria prophylaxis. Additional education and possible prophylaxis should be completed for other infectious agents frequently encountered in Asia. With appropriate pretrip immunizations and prophylaxis, children can travel to Asia with minimal risk of acquiring infection. This article provides general advice to assist providers with pretravel preparation and education of families traveling with children to Asia.

Costs and infrastructure disruption may be greatly reduced by ice-storm warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), and by the development of climatologies that allow improved design of infrastructure elements. However, neither the NWS nor developers of climatologies have had direct measurements of ice-storm accumulations as a basis for issuing warnings and developing storm design standards. This paper describes the development of an aviation routine/special weather report (METAR/SPECI) remark that will report quantitative ice thickness at over 650 locations during ice storms using new algorithms developed for the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). Characteristics of the ASOS icing sensor, a field program to develop the algorithms, tests of accuracy, application of the algorithms, and sources of error are described, as is the implementation of an ice-thickness METAR/SPECI remark. The algorithms will potentially allow freezing precipitation events to be tracked with regard to ice accumulation in near–real time as they progress across the United States.

As a result of railroad networks having developed through mergers and acquisition rather than through organic evolution or purpose-built design, choke points and bottlenecks have emerged, particularly in the Chicago, Illinois rail hub. The author comments on the proposed plan to develop an integrated Midwestern rail corridor that would avoid the congestion caused at Chicago and at a number of other points.

Sightability of oryx was affected by group size, activity, and vegetation type. We used logistic regression to model all possible combinations of the three significant variables, and compared models with a variety of fit and information-theoretic statistics as well as by relative performance. Because no model was superior to the others, we used relative performance among all models and parsimony to select the preferred model. Our preferred model included variables for social group size and three levels of group activity (bedded, standing, moving). This model estimated oryx population size as 3917 (3534-4297) and 3312 (2999-3593) for two annual surveys, and showed a deviance of -0.007 and -0.03 from the grand mean of all models for these surveys, respectively. Full confidence interval widths from complete surveys (100% of area covered) were 19.0% and 17.9% of mean population estimates, allowing for precise estimation and consequently management of the oryx population, although confidence interval widths will vary with group size and behaviour. Oryx surveys should be conducted during periods when group sizes are largest locally, which was the summer in New Mexico, to maximize sightability of oryx and thus minimize variation in population estimates due to sighting error.

The 2,4-DNT is in particulate form, within fibers or slivers of the nitrocellulose-based propellant. The slender fibers range up to 7.5 mm in length with masses of several 100 μ g. Size fractionation of a firing point soil revealed that most of the 2,4-DNT was in the 0.595- to 2.00-mm size range, although the bulk of the soil was less than 0.6 mm prior to grinding. Machine grinding for five minutes was needed to pulverize the propellant fibers sufficiently so that estimates of 2,4-DNT were reproducible in replicate analytical subsamples. To determine 2,4-DNT, we have adopted the practice of grinding firing point soils for five one-minute intervals, with time for heat dissipation between grinds, prior to obtaining individual or replicate 10-g subsamples.

SN - 00068314 AB - Measurements of atmospheric turbulence made during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean Experiment (SHEBA) are used to examine the profile stability functions of momentum, φ m , and sensible heat, φ h , in the stably stratified boundary layer over the Arctic pack ice. Turbulent fluxes and mean meteorological data that cover different surface conditions and a wide range of stability conditions were continuously measured and reported hourly at five levels on a 20-m main tower for 11 months. The comprehensive dataset collected during SHEBA allows studying φ m and φ h in detail and includes ample data for the very stable case. New parameterizations for φ m (ζ) and φ h (ζ) in stable conditions are proposed to describe the SHEBA data; these cover the entire range of the stability parameter ζ = z/ L from neutral to very stable conditions, where L is the Obukhov length and z is the measurement height. In the limit of very strong stability, φ m follows a ζ 1/3 dependence, whereas φ h initially increases with increasing ζ, reaches a maximum at ζ ≈ 10, and then tends to level off with increasing ζ. The effects of self-correlation, which occur in plots of φ m and φ h versus ζ, are reduced by using an independent bin-averaging method instead of conventional averaging.

Visible morphological anomalies were observed in 9.1% of 176 pallid ( Scaphirhynchus albus) and 4.6% of 4904 shovelnose ( Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) sturgeon specimens captured in the Middle (mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River) and Lower (below mouth of Ohio River) Mississippi River from 1997 to 2004. Frequencies among the types of anomalies differed between the lower and middle river reaches. In the lower river, deformities from foreign objects (typically rubber bands) comprised almost one-third of anomalies observed and may have contributed to other types of anterior injury which, if combined, would comprise the majority of lower river anomalies. In the middle river, nearly half of the observed anomalies involved damage to the caudal peduncle, usually a missing tail. Power regressions from length–weight relationships were compared for anomalous and non-anomalous specimens and demonstrated no significant disparity, verifying the resiliency of river sturgeons.

Available empirical data are limited to a few studies based on low sample sizes from disjointed populations. Geneticists are currently searching for markers that will differentiate the two species, but the need for unequivocal species-specific field characters remains. Continuation of commercial fishing for shovelnose sturgeon in some states necessitates an immediate means for accurate field identifications. Previous studies of lower basin river sturgeon classified individuals with simple morphometric character indices and interpreted intermediacy as interspecific hybridization. In this study, morphometric variation among Scaphirhynchus specimens from the Middle and Lower Mississippi River is examined for evidence of hybridization. Data are compared for large (>250-mm standard length) hatchery-reared and wild pallid specimens and wild shovelnose specimens. Specimens are compared using two morphometric character indices, two morphometric/meristic character indices and principal components analysis. Results indicate substantial morphological variation among pallid sturgeon below the mouth of the Missouri River. The amount of variation appears to decrease downstream in the Mississippi River. Sheared principal components analysis of morphometric data shows complete separation of shovelnose and pallid sturgeon specimens, whereas character indices indicate overlap. Both character indices and sheared principal components analysis demonstrate that pallid sturgeon in the Lower Mississippi River are morphologically more similar to shovelnose sturgeon than are pallids from the Upper Missouri River. This similarity, explained in previous studies as hybridization, may be the result of latitudinal morphometric variation and length-at-age differences between populations of the upper and lower extremes of the range.

Individual sturgeon were placed in an 18 927 L elliptical flume, and their location was recorded after a 2-h period. Data were analyzed using exact chi-square goodness of fit tests and exact tests of independence. Both sturgeon species used substrate, depth, and light in similar proportions. (all comparisons; P > 0.05). Specifically, pallid and shovelnose sturgeon did not use substrate in proportion to its availability (pallid: P = 0.0026; shovelnose: P = 0.0199). Each species used sand substrate more and gravel substrate less than expected based on availability. Additionally, neither species used woody structure. Both species used deep areas in greater proportion than availability while shallow areas were used less than expected based on availability (pallid; P < 0.0001; shovelnose; P = 0.0335). Pallid and shovelnose sturgeon used very dark areas in greater proportion than expected based on availability; however, very light areas were used in lower proportion than expected (P < 0.0001). Overall, neither species changed their use of habitat in relation to a change in water velocity (pallid, all comparisons P > 0.05; shovelnose, all comparisons P > 0.05). This study is the first investigation of juvenile pallid and shovelnose sturgeon habitat selection in a large-scale artificial stream system. Field studies of microhabitat selection by juvenile pallid and shovelnose sturgeon should be carried out to substantiate the results of this study, and to identify critical habitat for recovery and management of sturgeon species. Due to the extensive range, longevity, and migratory behavior of these fishes, proper management likely requires river improvements that provide sturgeon with access to a broad range of habitat conditions over time, including system-wide habitat diversity; natural variation in flow, velocity, temperature, and turbidity; high water quality; a broad prey base; free-flowing river sections which provide suitable spawning and rearing sites, as well as protection from recreational and commercial harvesting.

This collective series represents 32% of the known museum specimens. Gut contents were dominated by aquatic insects and fishes. At the taxonomic level of insect orders, Dipterans (174.3/fish) were the most numerically abundant food item consumed, followed by Ephemeroptera (19.0/fish), Trichoptera (4.0/fish), Coleoptera (2.4/fish), and Odonata (2.0/fish). Weight, which better reflects the caloric value of food items consumed, showed a similar consumption pattern. Dipterans (12.5%) made up the largest percentage of the total weight of insect prey, followed by Ephemeroptera (8.9%), Trichoptera (6.0%), Odonata, (4.5%) and Coleoptera (0.9%). Volumetric values were substantially higher than weights for Odonata (13.4%) and Ephemeroptera (14.3%), but were comparable for Diptera (10.6%), Trichoptera (4.7%), and Coleoptera (2.2%). The diet of the Alabama sturgeon is similar to the pallid and shovelnose sturgeon, eating both aquatic invertebrates and fish. In terms of piscivory, the volume of fish in the diet of the Alabama sturgeon (34.5%) is intermediate between that of the shovelnose (0% fish) and the pallid sturgeon (60% fish). Based upon the habitat preference of the prey family assemblages present from the 12 guts examined, probable feeding habitats of this sturgeon include sandy to rocky bottoms, slow to swift water velocities, and the water column. Conservation of fish prey may be important to the survival and recovery of the Alabama sturgeon.

Shortcuts to measuring biodiversity enable prioritization of conservation effort in the face of limited time, personnel and funding. The conservation umbrella approach focuses management effort according to individual species that may confer protection to a larger community. This approach can help guide the management agenda towards attainable goals by maximizing conservation returns per unit effort. The development of the umbrella index has shown promise in identifying umbrella species in terrestrial ecosystems but has received little attention with respect to the management of wetland ecosystems. 2. We used the umbrella index to assess the umbrella potential of vascular plants and dragonflies (Odonata) from 15 wetland impoundments in northern Mississippi, USA. The presence of adult odonates was determined by repeated visual surveys and plant lists were compiled from 50 plots per site. 3. Umbrella schemes, or the sites occupied by top umbrella species, missed large numbers of beneficiary species and occurrences. With one exception, umbrella schemes failed to optimize conservation returns relative to randomized schemes in both assemblages. Also, umbrella schemes approximately equalled the performance of non-umbrella schemes both overall and for species with a low rate of occurrence. Low occurrence rates in both assemblages may have hindered umbrella index performance because the index assumes that species with moderate occurrence rates have the most umbrella potential. 4. Cross-taxon analyses (Mantel tests and McNemar tests) suggested transferability of plant and dragonfly umbrella schemes, and non-random association between the plants and dragonflies in these wetlands. 5. Synthesis and applications. Despite the questionable performance of umbrella schemes in our study, the use of a quantitative ecological tool such as the umbrella index instead of political or popularity criteria is strongly recommended for future selection of umbrella species. The results of cross-taxon analyses supported growing evidence for spatial and functional relationships between wetland macrophytes and adult odonates. We suggest that the more easily measured assemblage can be used to set priorities for wetland conservation planning in circumstances where human resources are constrained.

The basis for compound identification is nonspecific and for some complex samples may yield false-positive results for energetic compounds. Suspended particulates and drilling fluids are potential interferents introduced to ground water profile samples. Profile samples had a higher frequency of false positives relative to monitoring well samples. Additionally, the false-positive frequency was lower in samples where no lubricants or greases were used during drilling and sampling. Protocol refinements, the inclusion of photodiode array (PDA) spectral analysis, visual inspection of chromatograms and PDA spectra, and careful manual data evaluation have reduced false-positive detections. A project team investigating ground water with the potential for energetic compounds must have extensive experience with method 8330, knowledge of how to use PDA analysis, and experience in interpreting chromatograms and PDA spectra for the target compounds.

T1 - A synthesis of atmospheric mercury depletion event chemistry linking atmosphere, snow and water. JO - Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics Discussions JF - Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics Discussions Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 7 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 10837 EP - 10931 PB - Copernicus Gesellschaft mbH SN - 16807367 AB - It was discovered in 1995 that, during the spring time, unexpectedly low concentrations of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) occurred in the Arctic air. This was surprising for a pollutant known to have a long residence time in the atmosphere; however conditions appeared to exist in the Arctic that promoted this depletion of mercury (Hg). This phenomenon is termed atmospheric mercury depletion events (AMDEs) and its discovery has revolutionized our understanding of the cycling of Hg in Polar Regions while stimulating a significant amount of research to understand its impact to this fragile ecosystem. Shortly after the discovery was made in Canada, AMDEs were confirmed to occur throughout the Arctic, sub-Artic and Antarctic coasts. It is now known 10 that, through a series of photochemically initiated reactions involving halogens, GEM is converted to a more reactive species and is subsequently associated to particles in the air and/or deposited to the polar environment. AMDEs are a means by which Hg is transferred from the atmosphere to the environment that was previously unknown. In this article we review the history of Hg in Polar Regions, the methods used to collect Hg in different environmental media, research results of the current understanding of AMDEs from field, laboratory and modeling work, how Hg cycles around the environment after AMDEs, gaps in our current knowledge and the future impacts that AMDEs may have on polar environments. The research presented has shown that while considerable improvements in methodology to measure Hg have been made the main limitation remains knowing the speciation of Hg in the various media. The processes that drive AMDEs and how they occur are discussed. As well, the roles that the snow pack, oceans, fresh water and the sea ice play in the cycling of Hg are presented. It has been found that deposition of Hg from AMDEs occurs at marine coasts and not far inland and that a fraction of the deposited Hg does not remain in the same form in the snow. Kinetic studies undertaken have demonstrated that bromine is the major oxidant depleting Hg in the atmosphere. Modeling results demonstrate that there is a significant deposition of Hg to Polar Regions as a result of AMDEs. Models have also shown that Hg is readily transported to the Arctic from source regions, at times during springtime when this environment is actively transforming Hg from the atmosphere to the snow and ice surfaces. The presence of significant amounts of methyl Hg in snow in the Arctic surrounding AMDEs is important because this species is the link between the environment and impacts to wildlife and humans. Further, much work on methylation and demethylation processes have occurred but are not yet fully understood. Recent changes in the climate and sea ice cover in Polar Regions are likely to have strong effects on the cycling of Hg in this environment; however more research is needed to understand Hg processes in order to formulate meaningful predictions of these changes.

To establish developmental toxicity criteria for TG, an oral developmental toxicity study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Neat thiodiglycol (99.9 %) was administered orally to mated female rats from gestation days (GDs) 5 through 19. The day of positive mating was considered day 0. A pilot study was conducted with TG at dose levels 250, 500, 1000, 2000, or 5000 mg/kg to select suitable doses for the main study. In the main study, three groups of rats (25/group) received TG by gavage at dose levels of 430, 1290, or 3870 mg/kg/day. A fourth group served as a sham control. On day 20 of gestation, all females were euthanized and a cesarean section performed. Litters were examined for soft tissue and skeletal alterations. Maternal toxicity was limited to dams receiving TG at 3870 mg/kg/day. At this dose, body weights and food consumption were reduced during certain periods of gestation. Fetuses derived from those dams exhibited a nonstatistically significant increased incidence of variations when compared to controls. Fetal body weights in the 3870 mg/kg/day group were significantly lower than controls. There was no increased incidence of anomalies when thiodiglycol-treated fetuses were compared to controls. It was concluded that TG did not produce terata. Developmental toxicity (decreased fetal weights and associated delays in development) occurred only at the maternally toxic dose of 3870 mg/kg. It appears that 1290 mg/kg/day could be considered no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for oral developmental toxicity. The lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) was 3870 mg/kg for maternal toxicity.

The suspended sediment volume per unit horizontal area is estimated using the computed energy dissipation rates due to wave breaking and bottom friction. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is estimated as the product of the longshore current and suspended sediment volume. The developed model is compared with limited field and laboratory data. The calibrated model is in fair agreement with the data. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is shown to be approximately proportional to the square of the longshore current. The developed model appears promising but will need to be evaluated using extensive data sets.

T1 - SUBACUTE TOXICITY OF ORAL 2,6-DINITROTOLUENE AND 1,3,5-TRINITRO-1,3,5-TRIAZINE (RDX) EXPOSURE TO THE NORTHERN BOBWHITE (COLINUS VIRGINIANUS). JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 26 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1481 EP - 1487 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Military activities associated with training have resulted in soil residues of munition compounds and their breakdown products. Often, these areas are valuable habitats used by birds. To evaluate the possibility of adverse effects in birds, the effects from oral exposures of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) were tested using a controlled dosing regime in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Nine groups of birds of mixed sex received either corn oil or 50, 100, 190, or 350 mg 2,6-DNT/kg body weight/d or 20, 80, 125, or 180 mg RDX/kg body weight/d mixed in corn oil via gavage for 14 d. Etiology of disease was markedly different between compounds. Increased RDX exposure caused an inverse relationship to time of death, symptoms including clonic followed by tonic convulsions, and death shortly thereafter. Brain concentrations of RDX postmortem, however, were relatively consistent (mean ± standard error, 20.5 ± 2.9 mg/kg tissue). Observations of 2,6-DNT effects included gastrointestinal distress, dehydration, and a reduction in body mass and feed consumption. Together, these data suggest that RDX is more toxic from short, repeated exposures than 2,6-DNT, resulting in central nervous system—related effects, whereas 2,6-DNT causes gastrointestinal disturbances at higher exposures.

Thus, the purpose of this article is to present a model that quantifies vulnerability. Vulnerability is defined as a measure of system susceptibility to threat scenarios. This article asserts that vulnerability is a condition of the system and it can be quantified using the Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment Model (I-VAM). The model is presented and then applied to a medium-sized clean water system. The model requires subject matter experts (SMEs) to establish value functions and weights, and to assess protection measures of the system. Simulation is used to account for uncertainty in measurement, aggregate expert assessment, and to yield a vulnerability (Ω) density function. Results demonstrate that I-VAM is useful to decisionmakers who prefer quantification to qualitative treatment of vulnerability. I-VAM can be used to quantify vulnerability to other infrastructures, supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), and distributed control systems (DCS).

The lidar used here employs a scanning, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser to emit an infrared (1064 nm) and green (532 nm) pulse 6 ns in duration at a rate of 1 kHz. The received signal is split to infrared, green, and fluorescent (nominally 580–600 nm) channels, the latter two of which are used to compute absolute dye concentration as a function of depth and horizontal position. Comparison of dye concentrations inferred from the lidar with in situ fluorometry measurements made by ship shows good agreement both qualitatively and quantitatively for absolute dye concentrations ranging from 1 to >10 ppb. Uncertainties associated with horizontal variations in the natural seawater attenuation are approximately 1 ppb. The results demonstrate the ability of airborne lidar to capture high-resolution three-dimensional “snapshots” of the distribution of the tracer as it evolves over very short time and space scales. Such measurements offer a powerful observational tool for studies of transport and mixing on these scales.

SN - 01777971 AB - An earlier paper showed that there is a growing need for increasingly accurate and reliable numerical models to predict optical turbulence conditions, especially in complex (nonuniform) signal propagation environments. Thus, we present a finite-difference computer model to demonstrate a viable approach for predicting the microphysical (microclimate) influences on optical turbulence intensity ( C n 2) around the ARL A_LOT Facility and its surroundings (which consist of multiple building arrays and forests). Our multi-dimensional prototype model begins to address optical turbulence conditions along more complex lines-of-sight and begins to account for inhomogeneities in C n 2 brought about by horizontal changes in landscape, wind flow, temperature, and humidity. For now, the model physics represent advection, pressure gradient, eddy diffusion, and vegetation drag force processes. Simple mechanisms to predict the heat and moisture source terms have also been incorporated. Initial model results have been quite encouraging. The model code is computationally efficient and extremely flexible with regard to modifications and debugging. We anticipate that this kind of computational research will be an important vehicle for investigating C n 2 and related laser-optic propagation effects in complex areas.

JO - Environmental Health Perspectives JF - Environmental Health Perspectives Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 115 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 756 EP - 763 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00916765 AB - BACKGROUND: Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is characterized by lung injury and inflammation, with significant increases in the numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. METHODS: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. RESULTS: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization--time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers.

Experiments were conducted using sediment samples and during electrical resistance heating (ERH) treatment at the East Gate Disposal Yard (Fort Lewis, Washington), which contains nonaqueous phase TCE and hydrocarbon contamination. Laboratory microcosms with these sediments showed TCE dechlorination at 70°C with measured products of acetylene, ethene, and ethane, indicating an abiotic component of the degradation. In contrast, TCE was dechlorinated to cis-1,2-dichloroethene in experiments at 10°C, likely by biological reductive dechlorination. The observed products at 70°C suggest dechlorination catalyzed by reduced sediment iron. Indications of in situ dechlorination were observed in periodic ground water samples collected during field-scale ERH from an average ambient temperature of about 19°C to near boiling. Dechlorination indicators included an increase in chloride concentration at the onset of heating and observation of acetylene, ethene, and methane at elevated temperatures. The data collected in this study suggest that dechlorination can occur during ERH.

A noninvasive electrophysiological technique was employed to assess the impacts of acute sublethal exposures on impulse conduction in medial (MGF) and lateral (LGF) giant nerve fiber pathways of the earthworm Eisenia fetida and to evaluate the reversibility of neurotoxic effects. Earthworms were exposed to either 0.02 to 2.15 μg/cm2 of CL-20 or 0.04 to 5.35 μg/cm2 of RDX, for 1 to 14 d, on moistened filter paper. Conduction velocities of MGF and LGF were recorded on a digital oscilloscope before and after exposure. Results indicate that at exposure levels as low as 0.02 μg/cm2 of CL- 20 or 0.21 μg/cm2 of RDX, worms exhibited physiological impacts such as retardation, stiffness, and body shrink. Both MGF and LGF conduction velocities were negatively correlated with increasing doses of CL-20 or RDX. However, such neurotoxic effects were alleviated or even eliminated within a few days after exposed worms were transferred to an uncontaminated environment, indicating that the neurotoxicity is reversible even after 6-d exposure. The CL-20 is more potent than RDX, which is consistent with previous studies on lethality, growth, and reproduction endpoints in soil oligochaetes.

Hydrogen sulfide is a lipid-soluble gas produced in occupational settings and from decaying organic matter. We present a 36-year-old man who developed acute respiratory arrest from hydrogen sulfide poisoning while performing work as a dairy farmer. Case report. The subject entered a poorly ventilated tank containing degrading eggs and, within seconds, collapsed. Coworkers were able to extract him within minutes but he was apneic. He was intubated by emergency medical services and subsequently managed with supportive care in the intensive care unit. Upon admission, a powerful rotten egg scent was noted and a hydrogen sulfide poisoning was suspected. Serum analysis for the presence of thiosulfate confirmed the diagnosis. Nitrite therapy was not administered as the subject arrived outside of the therapeutic window of effectiveness and showed evidence of excellent oxygenation. His examinations following arrival were consistent with an anoxic brain injury which slowly improved several months after the incident with intensive neuro-rehabilitation. Discussion. Hydrogen sulfide is a mitochondrial toxin and inhibits cytochrome-aa3 and prevents cellular aerobic metabolism. Therapies for toxic exposures include removal from the contaminated environment, ventilation with 100% oxygen, and nitrite therapy if administered immediately after exposure. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has anecdotal support and remains controversial. Conclusion. Hydrogen sulfide is a significant occupational health hazard. Education, personal protective equipment, and early treatment are important in improving outcomes.

In climates with a near balance in the annual heating and cooling loads, they function essentially as a seasonal energy storage scheme. This paper presents an overview of the technology. The various types of geothermal heat pumps are explained along with their relative merits. Detailed discussion is included on the most common method of ground coupling for commercial scale applications, the vertical borehole heat exchanger. Issues with sizing the heat exchanger and grouting it are discussed, as well as the motivation for in situ thermal properties testing. In-building equipment, including the heat pumps themselves, is briefly described. Experience with geothermal heat pumps to date is presented for both residential and commercial scale applications. Regional market penetration and competitiveness are also discussed for both residential and commercial scale applications. The paper concludes that the overall outlook for expanded application of geothermal heat pumps is very favorable.

The primary objectives of the field demonstration were to assess the potential of the BAZE process to remediate the RDX-contaminated groundwater, and to quantify the capital and operation/maintenance costs associated with the use of the BAZE process for in situ treatment of RDX contamination in groundwater. The study also delineated the effects of the BAZE process on subsurface biomass, and water quality parameters (metals mobilization, total organic compound, etc.). The results of this 20-month field study demonstrated that acetate is an excellent source of carbon capable of creating reduced conditions conducive for reductive transformation of RDX in groundwater. Over the period of demonstration, the background RDX concentration of about 256 μg/L was reduced to below the U.S. EPA’s health advisory level of 2 μg/L. Besides significant reduction in RDX background concentrations, other chemical (low Eh and nitrate denitrification) and biological (biomass buildup and enrichment) changes in the subsurface validated the development of a biologically active zone after the amendment addition. A total of 2,250 kg runway deicer (∼1,493 kg acetate) was injected into the subsurface over the period of the demonstration, which translates to a stoichiometric consumption of approximately 161 g acetate/g RDX. Approximately 36,200 m3 of groundwater (∼9.27 kg RDX) were treated during the course of study at a unit cost of about $18.85/m3 groundwater treated ($73.70/g RDX destroyed).

One event with offshore winds of 9–11 m s-1 directed 20° from shore normal was observed with eight directional stations recording simultaneously and spanning a fetch from 4 to 83 km. An opposing swell of 1-m height and 10-s period was also present. The wind-sea part of the wave spectrum conforms to established growth curves for significant wave height and peak period, except at inner-shelf stations where a large alongshore wind-sea component was observed. At these short fetches, the mean wave direction θm was observed to change abruptly across the wind-sea spectral peak, from alongshore at lower frequencies to downwind at higher frequencies. Waves from another event with offshore winds of 6–14 m s-1 directed 20°–30° from shore normal were observed with two instrument arrays. A significant amount of low-frequency wave energy was observed to propagate alongshore from the region where the wind was strongest. These measurements are used to assess the performance of some widely used parameterizations in wave models. The modeled transition of θm across the wind-sea spectrum is smoother than that in the observations and is reproduced very differently by different parameterizations, giving insights into the appropriate level of dissipation. Calculations with the full Boltzmann integral of quartet wave–wave interactions reveal that the discrete interaction approximation parameterization for these interactions is reasonably accurate at the peak of the wind sea but overpredicts the directional spread at high frequencies. This error is well compensated by parameterizations of the wind input source term that have a narrow directional distribution. Observations also highlight deficiencies in some parameterizations of wave dissipation processes in mixed swell–wind-sea conditions.

SN - 00904341 AB - In the methylated form, mercury represents a concern to public health primarily through the consumption of contaminated fish tissue. Research conducted on the methylation of mercury strongly suggests that the process is microbial in nature and facilitated principally by sulfate-reducing bacteria. This study addressed the potential for mercury methylation by varying sulfate treatments and wetland-based soil in microbial slurry reactors with available inorganic mercury. Under anoxic laboratory conditions conducive to the growth of naturally occurring sulfate-reducing bacteria in the soil, it was possible to evaluate how various sulfate additions influenced the methylation of inorganic mercury added to overlying water as well as the sequestration of dissolved copper. Treatments included sulfate amendments ranging from 25 to 500 mg/L (0.26 to 5.2 mM) above the soil’s natural sulfate level. Mercury methylation in sulfate treatments did not exceed that of the nonamended control during a 35-day incubation period. However, increases in methylmercury concentration were linked to bacterial growth and sulfate reduction. A time lag in methylation in the highest treatment correlated with an equivalent lag in bacterial growth. The decrease in dissolved copper ranged from 72.7% in the control to 99.7% in the highest sulfate treatment. It was determined that experimental systems such as these can provide some useful information but that they also have severe limitations once sulfate is depleted or if sulfate is used in excess.

The Alberta clipper (hereafter simply clipper) occurs most frequently during December and January and substantially less frequently during October and March. These cyclones generally move southeastward from the lee of the Canadian Rockies toward or just north of Lake Superior before progressing eastward into southeastern Canada or the northeastern United States, with less than 10% of the cases in the climatology tracking south of the Great Lakes. Characteristics of the structure and evolution of clippers during a 36-h period leading up to departure of the cyclone from the lee of the Canadian Rockies and a 60-h period after departure as the cyclone traverses central and eastern North America are examined through composite analyses. Over the course of the predeparture period, a cyclone over the Gulf of Alaska approaches the west coast of North America, and through its interaction with the mountainous terrain of western North America spawns a surface lee trough, characterized by a thermal ridge at 850 hPa, to the east of the Canadian Rockies. This thermal ridge dampens considerably as the composite clipper moves into central North America away from the immediate lee of the Canadian Rockies. The composite clipper system evolves from a lee cyclone with its nonclassical thermal structure to a more classically structured midlatitude cyclone as it moves through central and eastern North America largely as a result of rotation of the low-level thermal gradient and the increasing westward tilt with height of the composite clipper over the last 36 h of the postdeparture period. The thermal gradient rotation is dynamically linked to convergence of the along-isentrope component of the Q vector and thus to the ascent that sustains the clipper and creates some of its characteristic sensible weather elements. Such dynamical forcing is a direct consequence of the persistent westward displacement of the 500-hPa vorticity maximum with respect to the composite clipper sea level pressure minimum that characterizes the postdeparture period.

In 1989, approximately 1,057 ha of upland pine and riparian hardwood timber were removed from the middle section of the Birds Creek watershed. In addition, roads were installed to facilitate vehicular passage during military exercises. Approximately 2.6-km of Birds Creek stream length occurred within the logged portion, which has been maintained as a cleared area since timber was harvested. During 2001-2005, we evaluated the assemblage structure of fishes and macroinvertebrates and the associated habitat at five sites in Birds Creek and five sites in an adjacent but unaffected stream, Whiskey Chitto Creek. Whatever the effects of timbering and construction, 12-yrs after the disturbance the affected sites on Birds Creek contained heterogeneous habitats that supported rich and diverse fish and macroinvertebrate assemblages, not unlike those of the other sites on Birds Creek and the adjacent control stream.

The energy dissipation rate due to irregular breaking waves is estimated using an existing formula that is modified for intense wave breaking on the steep seaward slope of the breakwater. This computationally efficient numerical model is an extension of the existing time-averaged model which is widely used to predict irregular breaking wave transformation on impermeable beaches. The developed model is shown to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation measured in a laboratory experiment where a submerged porous breakwater was placed on a gentle impermeable slope. The agreement for the measured horizontal velocity is marginal partly because this one-dimensional model does not predict the vertical velocity variation. This semiempirical model calibrated using the present experiment will need to be compared with additional experiments.

The objective of this project was to investigate whether surface applied emulsions could capture airborne radioactive particulate. Laboratory experiments included wind-blown particulate capture studies using an acrylic column and particulate retainment experiments using a wind box capable of producing wind speeds of 96 km/h. A probe methodology was developed to relate particulate retainment to a tack force on the emulsion surface. Experiments were also performed to determine the potential for such emulsions to absorb particulate matter into their emulsion matrix. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions outperformed asphalt emulsions in terms of particulate retention, tack force, and the ability to absorb magnesium silicate. Both tall-oil-pitch and asphalt emulsions were capable of extracting 22–24 g m-2 of powder from particulate-laden airflow. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions were capable of retaining as much as 5–10% of magnesium silicate powder applied (i.e., retainment densities of 10–20 g m-2) even after seven days of curing and after applying 96.5 km/h(60 mph) wind. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions were able to absorb surface-applied magnesium silicate (approximately 0.1–0.2 g of magnesium silicate per 1.0 g of emulsion within three days) into their emulsion matrix, preventing the magnesium silicate from being exposed to the external environment. Initial results with these five different emulsion formulations suggested particulate capture was feasible. Future emulsion formulations (i.e., longer curing times with greater acid concentrations) should be tested to optimize this postdetonation response strategy.

T1 - A NOVEL AMPHIBIAN TIER 2 TESTING PROTOCOL: A 30-WEEK EXPOSURE OF XENOPUS TROPICALIS TO THE ANTIANDROGEN FLUTAMIDE. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/03// VL - 26 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 555 EP - 564 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - In 1996, the U.S. Congress mandated the development of a screening program for endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) using validated test systems. Subsequently, the Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee recommended the development of a standardized amphibian assay for tier 2 testing of EDCs. For that reason, a tier 2 testing protocol using Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis and a 30-week, flow-through exposure to the antiandrogen flutamide from stage 46 tadpoles through sexually mature adult frogs were developed and evaluated in this pilot study. The endpoints for this study included measurements of frog body lengths and weights, liver weights, ovary/egg mass weights, testicular and ovarian histopathology, plasma vitellogenin levels, and notes on any abnormalities observed at necropsy. Increasing exposure concentrations to flutamide caused significant increases in frogs with no recognizable gonadal tissue and increased body and liver weights in male frogs, whereas the body lengths and weights decreased significantly in female frogs. Important issues must be resolved before a tier 2 amphibian assay can be further developed and validated, including the establishment of baseline values in the controls for the parameters under study; the maintenance, measurement, and timing of exposure concentrations; and the development of additional biomolecular markers of effect. This study demonstrated the feasibility of conducting long-term EDC exposure studies using X. tropicalis.

SN - 0364152X AB - Current political conditions, primarily budgetary uncertainty, and the related reluctance to make funding commitments for future generations, have raised questions about the costs of conservation and environmental protection that have not previously been asked. As Federal investments are scrutinized and budgets become ever more constrained, the costs associated with environmental requirements could begin to be of greater importance and to influence decisions on Federal projects. In response to concerns about the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) spending under the Endangered Species Act (P.L. 93-205) (ESA), a limited investigation was performed to determine the accuracy of reported Corps expenditures. The investigation showed that, for particular groups of species, actual conservation costs for threatened and endangered species may be twice the amounts previously reported in the annual ESA expenditure reporting to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In light of this finding, the Corps has sought a means to provide more accurate and consistent reporting of expenditures for addressing threatened and endangered species. A Species Costs Template (template) has been developed to identify the types and magnitude of costs related to the ESA and to counteract the impediments (legal, institutional, and practical) to underreporting costs. The template will be used by the Corps for reporting ESA costs beginning with Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05) (reported in January 2006). Five broad categories of expenditures (effects determination costs, ESA protection and conservation costs, equipment costs, opportunity costs, and other species costs) are identified by the template.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2007/01// VL - 39 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 84 EP - 97 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 0364152X AB - Cost-efficient sample designs for collection of ground data and accurate mapping of variables are required to monitor natural resources and environmental and ecological systems. In this study, a sample design and mapping method was developed by integrating stratification, model updating, and cokriging with Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery. This method is based on the spatial autocorrelation of variables and the spatial cross-correlation among them. It can lead to sample designs with variable grid spacing, where sampling distances between plots vary depending on spatial variability of the variables from location to location. This has potential cost-efficiencies in terms of sample design and mapping. This method is also applicable for mapping in the case in which no ground data can be collected in some parts of a study area because of the high cost. The method was validated in a case study in which a ground and vegetation cover factor was sampled and mapped for monitoring soil erosion. The results showed that when the sample obtained with three strata using the developed method was used for sampling and mapping the cover factor, the sampling cost was greatly decreased, although the error of the map was slightly increased compared to that without stratification; that is, the sample cost-efficiency quantified by the product of cost and error was greatly increased. The increase of cost-efficiency was more obvious when the cover factor values of the plots within the no-significant-change stratum were updated by a model developed using the previous observations instead of remeasuring them in the field.

This war exposed the deterioration of the U.S. Army's records management after the disestablishment of The Adjutant General's Office (TAGO) in 1986. TAGO had overseen Army records management, holding commanders accountable for their units' records and using trained personnel to manage records within units. Focusing on operational records, this paper explores the breakdown of records management during the Gulf War, discusses the presidentially mandated Gulf War Declassification Project (1995-1996), and briefly reviews current Army operational records management.

These theorists did not fixate on the writings of Carl von Clausewitz, but they were familiar with his work. But independent of Clausewitz, American military theory emphasized the Clausewitzian concept of the relationships among politics and society in preparing for and fighting wars. This article explores Clausewitz and American military theory, explains how Americans became naturally Clausewitzian, and discusses what their thinking has to do with the conduct of war.

The shell element accommodates transverse shear deformation as well as arbitrarily large displacements and rotations. The shell element is developed using an approach that allows for compatibility with other structural elements in the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System. It is validated by comparing its predictions with benchmark problems. The two-dimensional shell and one-dimensional beam finite-element analyses are compared for three typical blade configurations of varying slenderness ratio: a swept-tip blade, a blade with discontinuous chordwise elastic axis and center-of-gravity locations, and a blade with a flex beam. The purpose is to quantify the differences between two-dimensional-shell one-dimensional-beam finite elements for modeling rotor blades. There is good agreement between the one- and two-dimensional analyses in predicting the natural frequencies of straight blades with a slenderness ratio of greater than 12.5. However, there are up to 16.5% differences in frequency predictions for a slenderness ratio of 17.5 or less and a tip sweep angle of 30 deg or higher. The differences increase with decreasing slenderness ratio and increasing tip sweep angle. For a blade with a discontinuous center-of-gravity offset, frequencies predicted using the two- and one-dimensional analyses show up to 12.5% difference and increase with the center-of-gravity offset. For a blade with discontinuous elastic axis offset, the frequencies predicted using the two analyses have good agreement. The differences are observed when both approaches calculate the structural loads (bending moments) and deformations of a blade with an elastic axis offset.

The time-spectral method is a fast and accurate computational fluid dynamics algorithm for computing unsteady flows. It transforms the flow-governing equations into a periodic steady state by using a Fourier spectral derivative operator. An accompanying steady-state adjoint formulation was implemented in the time-spectral form of the governing equations to enable design optimization for unsteady flows. The time-spectral analysis was validated against conventional time-accurate computational fluid dynamics computation and flight test data of a UH-60A helicopter rotor during high-speed forward flight. A multidisciplinary analysis of blade structural dynamics was carried out through a comprehensive analysis coupling procedure that accounted for aeroelasticity and enforced vehicle trim. The adjoint-based design method was applied to optimize the blade shape of the UH-60A rotor. Power minimization was pursued with nonlinear constraints on the thrust and rotor drag force. The blade twist distribution, sectional airfoil shape, and outboard planform shape comprised over 100 design variables. Starting from the initial blade, the optimizer found a new design that showed improved performance. The validation results coupled with the multidisciplinary comprehensive analysis confirmed actual improvement: a 5% decrease in torque accompanied by a decrease in thrust of less than 1%.

We conducted our research during the half-year period starting six months after repeal and concluding at the one year mark, and we pursued ten separate research strategies including in-depth interviews, survey analysis, on-site field observations, pretest/posttest quasi experimentation, secondary source analysis, and a comprehensive review of media articles. Our goal was to maximize the likelihood of identifying evidence of damage caused by repeal, and we made vigorous efforts to collect data from repeal opponents including anti-repeal generals and admirals, activists, academic experts, service members and watchdog organizations. Our conclusion, based on all of the evidence available to us, is that DADT repeal has had no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment, or morale. If anything, DADT repeal appears to have enhanced the military's ability to pursue its mission.

Our results provide evidence that migraine headache negatively impacts human capital accumulation. The relationship between migraine headache and educational attainment is explained, in part, through its effect on school absences and the respondent's self-reported ability to pay attention in class and complete homework.

The efficiency of the strengthening system largely depends on adequate bond between FRP sheets and the concrete substrate. In recent years, techniques to anchor FRP sheets have been proposed in applications that have limited distance to develop FRP sheet strength. One promising technique consists of fabricating and bonding FRP anchors during the FRP sheet saturation and embedding them into predrilled holes in the concrete substrate. This paper presents experimental results highlighting the complex behavior between FRP sheets and anchors. The primary failure modes that the sheet-anchor system can experience are identified. The experiments identify the main variables that influence the FRP anchor-sheet system behavior. This research contributes to the needed experimental database that will aid in future development of design recommendations of this anchorage system.

The diversity of many work groups in the U.S. creates potential benefits and challenges for their leaders. Using data gathered from a manufacturing facility in southeastern U.S., this study examines how Path-Goal leadership styles, diversity, work group effectiveness, and work group members' turnover intention are related. Although all three Path-Goal leadership styles demonstrated significant positive correlations with work group effectiveness, only the Supportive style showed a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Interestingly, work group effectiveness showed no significant correlation with turnover intention.

Deployed military personnel frequently exposed to trauma are well-known to be at high risk for developing behavioral health disorders, including combat stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder. In the U.S. Army, members of combat operational stress control (COSC) units have unique skills to assist soldiers and their families not only throughout all phases of a deployment, but also throughout a soldier's entire career. The purposes of this article are twofold, first to describe the role of COSC operations with an emphasis on interventions in a deployed environment. The second purpose is to present a case study from Operation Iraqi Freedom highlighting the efficacy of the COSC approach to meet a Soldier's behavioral health needs in a deployed environment.

Local value models use the full value space defined by the alternatives to distinguish between the alternatives. Global value models may identify new objectives and may help us develop better alternatives, but the alternatives do not usually span the full global value space. We present a mathematical transformation of a global value model's single-dimensional value functions and swing weights to a decision-focused value model using the global value, alternative scores, and transformation equations. When the transformation is appropriate, the decision-focused value model can provide useful distinctions to better communicate the trade-offs between alternatives. We prove that the transformation preserves the rank ordering of the alternatives, and we discuss the appropriate conditions for use.

It examines the origin and evolution of the doctrine which can be traced back to 1803 with the defining opinion of Chief Justice John Marshall in the case Marbury v. Madison. The cases Saleh and Ibrahim filed by former Iraqi detainees against contract interrogators and interpreters are said to be an example of the difficulty in applying the doctrine.

It is paradoxical that some prisoners—many of whom were falsely convicted—endured gruelling, barely survivable, lengthy terms of labour camp and prison and emerged maintaining their loyalty toward the system of government that was responsible for their imprisonment. With the materials that have become available, we can now begin to understand this phenomenon. Explanations include the 'traumatic bond' (Stockholm Syndrome), communism (the Party) as a surrogate for institutionalised religion, cognitive dissonance and functionalism. This issue may offer insight into the larger question of how repressive regimes are maintained.

Results showed that participants'gunnery task performances degraded significantly when he had to concurrently monitor, manage, or teleoperate an unmanned ground vehicle compared to the gunnery single task condition. For the robotics tasks, participants had the lowest performance when using the semi-autonomous robot, indicating overreliance on the aided target recognition capabilities available when task load was heavy (i.e., concurrent performance of the gunnery task). Participants' perceived workload increased consistently as the concurrent task conditions became more challenging. Individual difference factors such as spatial ability and perceived attentional control were found to correlate significantly with some of the performance measures. Implications for military personnel selection were discussed.

In addition to the cognitive processing burden imposed upon modern warfighters, the effects of stress upon cognition and action must also be accounted for in evaluating individual warfighting capabilities. The current study examines the relationship between stress and cognition by measuring performance on a multiple object tracking (MOT) task after exposure to stress-inducing photographs. Postexposure performance revealed significant decrements in MOT accuracy relative to a nonstressed control group. Implications are discussed regarding the impact of stress on attentional selection for operational scenarios where it is difficult to distinguish friendly individuals from those with hostile intentions, as well as for the development of technology for command, control, communications (computers), and intelligence (C4I) systems.

Interventions that enhance visual attention might also enhance change detection, because focused attention has been identified as a requirement for change detection. Given current claims that habitual experience with action video games can increase attentional resources, we investigated whether such experience would lessen the incidence of change blindness in two change detection tasks. Although we replicated a previously demonstrated difference between players and nonplayers on the flanker-compatibility test (Green & Bavelier, 2003), we failed to find evidence that habitual action video game players were superior to nonplayers when it came to change detection.

Ebola virus (EBOV) genomes assembled from blood samples from the patient and a semen sample from the survivor were consistent with direct transmission. The genomes shared three substitutions that were absent from all other Western African EBOV sequences and that were distinct from the last documented transmission chain in Liberia before this case. Combined with epidemiologic data, the genomic analysis provides evidence of sexual transmission of EBOV and evidence of the persistence of infective EBOV in semen for 179 days or more after the onset of EVD.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Background: Francisella tularensis is a select bio-threat agent and one of the most virulent intracellular pathogens known, requiring just a few organisms to establish an infection. Although several virulence factors are known, we lack an understanding of virulence factors that act through host-pathogen protein interactions to promote infection. To address these issues in the highly infectious F. tularensis subsp. tularensis Schu S4 strain, we deployed a combined in silico, in vitro, and in vivo analysis to identify virulence factors and their interactions with host proteins to characterize bacterial infection mechanisms. Results: We initially used comparative genomics and literature to identify and select a set of 49 putative and known virulence factors for analysis. Each protein was then subjected to proteome-scale yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screens with human and murine cDNA libraries to identify potential host-pathogen protein-protein interactions. Based on the bacterial protein interaction profile with both hosts, we selected seven novel putative virulence factors for mutant construction and animal validation experiments. We were able to create five transposon insertion mutants and used them in an intranasal BALB/c mouse challenge model to establish 50% lethal dose estimates. Three of these, ΔFTT0482c, ΔFTT1538c, and ΔFTT1597, showed attenuation in lethality and can thus be considered novel F. tularensis virulence factors. The analysis of the accompanying Y2H data identified intracellular protein trafficking between the early endosome to the late endosome as an important component in virulence attenuation for these virulence factors. Furthermore, we also used the Y2H data to investigate host protein binding of two known virulence factors, showing that direct protein binding was a component in the modulation of the inflammatory response via activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and in the oxidative stress response. Conclusions: Direct interactions with specific host proteins and the ability to influence interactions among host proteins are important components for F. tularensis to avoid host-cell defense mechanisms and successfully establish an infection. Although direct host-pathogen protein-protein binding is only one aspect of Francisella virulence, it is a critical component in directly manipulating and interfering with cellular processes in the host cell.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - In the U.S. Army, falls have historically been among the top five causes of hospitalization and a leading cause of nonbattle injuries in military operations overseas. Objective: For safety and public health professionals, commanders, and supervisors looking to address this problem, a literature review was conducted to identify and summarize existing fall prevention strategies applicable to a working-age population. Methods: A total of nine literature databases were searched for articles published from 1970 to 2011. Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists. Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points). Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem.

Number of References: 31 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Centralized HIV program oversight and repeal of the Department of Defense policy "Don't Ask Don't Tell" permitted characterization of HIV transmission among soldiers assigned to a large US Army base continental United States from 2012 to 2013. An investigation of a greater than expected number of new HIV infections among soldiers was initiated to characterize transmission and identify opportunities to disrupt transmission and deliver services. All soldiers who were assigned to the base at the time of their first positive HIV test and who had their first positive HIV test in 2012 or in the first 6 months of 2013 and who had a clinical genotype available for analysis were eligible for inclusion in the investigation. All patients (n=19) were men; most were black (52%) and less than 30 years old (64%). Fifteen of the 19 patients participated in in-depth interviews. Eighty percent were men who have sex with men who reported multiple sex partners having met through social and electronic networks. All were subtype B infections. Significant knowledge gaps and barriers to accessing testing and care in the military healthcare system were identified. Most (58%) belonged to transmission networks involving other soldiers. This investigation represents an important step forward in on-going efforts to develop a comprehensive understanding of transmission networks in the Army that can inform delivery of best practices combination prevention services. The Army is developing plans to directly engage individuals in key affected populations most at risk for HIV infection to identify and address unmet needs and expand delivery and uptake of prevention services. Further investigation is underway and will determine whether these findings are generalizable to the Army.

Number of References: 21 ref. Registry Number: 9000-81-1. Subject Subsets: Agricultural Entomology N2 - Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) such as sarin and soman are some of the most toxic chemicals synthesized by man. They exert toxic effects by inactivating acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and bind secondary target protein. Organophosphorus compounds are hemi-substrates for enzymes of the serine hydrolase superfamily. Enzymes can be engineered by amino acid substitution into OP-hydrolyzing variants (bioscavengers) and used as therapeutics. Some enzymes associated with lipoproteins, such as human plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (pPAF-AH), are also inhibited by OPs; these proteins have largely been ignored for engineering purposes because of complex interfacial kinetics and a lack of structural data. We have expressed active human pPAF-AH in bacteria and previously solved the crystal structure of this enzyme with OP adducts. Using these structures as a guide, we created histidine mutations near the active site of pPAF-AH (F322H, W298H, L153H) in an attempt to generate novel OP-hydrolase activity. Wild-type pPAF-AH, L153H, and F322H have essentially no hydrolytic activity against the nerve agents tested. In contrast, the W298H mutant displayed novel somanase activity with a kcat of 5 min-1 and a KM of 590 µM at pH 7.5. There was no selective preference for hydrolysis of any of the four soman stereoisomers.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - Objective: To assess the safety and clinical benefit of intravenous artesunate as an alternative to quinidine. Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: U.S. hospitals. Patients: 102 patients aged 1 to 72 years (90% adults; 61% men) with severe and complicated malaria. Patients received 4 weight-based doses of intravenous artesunate (2.4 mg/kg) under a treatment protocol implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between January 2007 and December 2010. At baseline, 35% had evidence of cerebral malaria, and 17% had severe hepatic impairment. Eligibility required the presence of microscopically confirmed malaria, need for intravenous treatment, and an impediment to quinidine. Measurements: Clinical and laboratory data from each patient's hospital records were abstracted retrospectively, including information from baseline through a maximum 7-day follow-up, and presented before a physician committee to evaluate safety and clinical benefit outcomes. Results: 7 patients died (mortality rate, 6.9%). The most frequent adverse events were anemia (65%) and elevated hepatic enzyme levels (49%). All deaths and most adverse events were attributed to the severity of malaria. Patients' symptoms generally improved or resolved within 3 days, and the median time to discharge from the intensive care unit was 4 days, even for patients with severe liver disease or cerebral malaria. More than 100 concomitant medications were used, with no documented drug-drug interactions. Limitation: Potential late-presenting safety issues might occur outside the 7-day follow-up. Conclusion: Artesunate was a safe and clinically beneficial alternative to quinidine.

Subject Subsets: Ornamnental Horticulture; Forestry; Horticultural Science; Agricultural Entomology N2 - The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, recognizes the value of the city's urban forest in terms of air quality, lower wind speeds, esthetics, energy conservation, reduced noise pollution, habitat value, decreased runoff, and bolstering of local businesses and property values. The density, composition, and location of street and city park trees comprising the urban forest will be influenced by future climate-driven extreme weather events. In this study, we have developed an approach for assessing impacts of multiple extreme weather scenarios likely to become more frequent under climate change and subsequently influence the composition of street and park trees. This potential for loss of trees as a result of one (or more) of these climate-related extreme weather events is considered to be one indicator of the susceptibility of Cambridge's urban forest to climate-related weather events. The scenarios considered were a hurricane/tropical storm similar to tropical storm Sandy in 2012, heat stress, snow or ice loading (e.g., loss of tree limbs), Asian longhorn beetle or emerald ash borer infestations, and the cumulative effect from the addition of all these scenarios. The literature was used to assess the sensitivity of tree species to each threat and determine the anticipated loss of individuals from each species. The results are a reasonable indication of the more tolerant tree species in Cambridge and their locations. This assessment of susceptibility can inform proactive management of the urban forest.

The concentrations of the inhibitors were varied to determine the highest level of inhibition without a pro-oxidant/browning effect. UV absorbance and gas chromatography/mass spec (GC/MS) with solid phase microextraction (SPME) sampling was used to study browning in the model systems. Hunter L*, a*, b* was used to analyze the color change results of the inhibitors on applesauce and bakery rolls. It was determined that a 1.0% solution of either antioxidant in the glucose/glycine system produced the greatest inhibition and a synergistic effect was not apparent when the two were combined. Inhibition of browning and a lack of synergy between the antioxidants were also determined in food systems consisting of applesauce and bakery rolls. GC/MS analysis of the model system revealed a high level of pyrazine formation in no-inhibitor control samples and the absence of pyrazines in inhibitor-containing samples.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases N2 - Recently, global public health organizations such as Doctors without Borders (MSF), the World Health Organization (WHO), Public Health Canada, National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. government developed and deployed Field Decontamination Kits (FDKs), a novel, lightweight, compact, reusable decontamination technology to sterilize Ebola-contaminated medical devices at remote clinical sites lacking infra-structure in crisis-stricken regions of West Africa (medical waste materials are placed in bags and burned). The basis for effectuating sterilization with FDKs is chlorine dioxide (ClO2) produced from a patented invention developed by researchers at the US Army Natick Soldier RD&E Center (NSRDEC) and commercialized as a dry mixed-chemical for bacterial spore decontamination. In fact, the NSRDEC research scientists developed an ensemble of ClO2 technologies designed for different applications in decontaminating fresh produce; food contact and handling surfaces; personal protective equipment; textiles used in clothing, uniforms, tents, and shelters; graywater recycling; airplanes; surgical instruments; and hard surfaces in latrines, laundries, and deployable medical facilities. These examples demonstrate the far-reaching impact, adaptability, and versatility of these innovative technologies. We present herein the unique attributes of NSRDEC's novel decontamination technologies and a Case Study of the development of FDKs that were deployed in West Africa by international public health organizations to sterilize Ebola-contaminated medical equipment. FDKs use bacterial spores as indicators of sterility. We review the properties and structures of spores and the mechanisms of bacterial spore inactivation by ClO2. We also review mechanisms of bacterial spore inactivation by novel, emerging, and established non-thermal technologies for food preservation, such as high pressure processing, irradiation, cold plasma, and chemical sanitizers, using an array of Bacillus subtilis mutants to probe mechanisms of spore germination and inactivation. We employ techniques of high-resolution atomic force microscopy and phase contrast microscopy to examine the effects of γ-irradiation on bacterial spores of Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus atrophaeus spp. and of ClO2 on B. subtilis spores, and present in detail assays using spore bio-indicators to ensure sterility when decontaminating with ClO2.

Subject Subsets: Irrigation & Drainage N2 - The reuse of gray water for applications ranging from irrigation to showering is a viable means to reduce net water demand when water supplies are stressed. The objective of this study was to investigate the treatment of gray water using biologically active granular-activated carbon (GAC) and complementary technologies. Technologies were challenged individually or in combination using a synthetic gray water formulation based on NSF/ANSI Standard 350. Specific technologies included: GAC; biologically active GAC (BAC); a newly developed intermittently operated BAC (IOBAC) process; ion exchange (IX); coagulation with a cationic polymer; microfiltration; ultrafiltration (UF); and multi-barrier combinations thereof. For control of organic contaminants such as surfactants, BAC and IOBAC performed well over test periods as long as 6 months. Combinations of IOBAC treatment with coagulation pretreatment and UF post-treatment resulted in sustained chemical oxidant demand and turbidity value reductions in excess of 90 and 99.5%, respectively. Such an approach would be useful for gray water treatment for low tier applications like irrigation or toilet flushing, or as a pretreatment system upstream of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and/or advanced oxidation processes for high tier reuse applications such as showering.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Background: Members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group, including tick-borne encephalitis virus, are responsible for at least 10,000 clinical cases of tick-borne encephalitis each year. To attempt to explain the long-term maintenance of members of this group, we followed Ornithodoros parkeri, O. sonrai, and O. tartakovskyi for >2,900 days after they had been exposed to Karshi virus, a member of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group. Methodology/Principal Findings: Ticks were exposed to Karshi virus either by allowing them to feed on viremic suckling mice or by intracoelomic inoculation. The ticks were then allowed to feed individually on suckling mice after various periods of extrinsic incubation to determine their ability to transmit virus by bite and to determine how long the ticks would remain infectious. The ticks remained efficient vectors of Karshi virus, even when tested >2,900 d after their initial exposure to virus, including those ticks exposed to Karshi virus either orally or by inoculation. Conclusions/Significance: Ornithodoros spp. ticks were able to transmit Karshi virus for >2,900 days (nearly 8 years) after a single exposure to a viremic mouse. Therefore, these ticks may serve as a long-term maintenance mechanism for Karshi virus and potentially other members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Promotora Nutrition Empowerment Initiative (PNEI) was developed in response to requests by 7 promotora-researchers in the Construyendo Communidades Fronterizas Mas Sanas (Building Healthier Border Communities) research and outreach program to better equip them in the Texas border colonias they serve. This effort provided a framework for evidence-based, culturally and linguistically centered nutrition education and skill-building modules. Eight educational workshops (4 hours per month) comprised of in-depth nutrition education and skill-building lessons were conducted (December 2012-July 2013). Student's paired sample t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared pre- and posttest nutrition knowledge scores for each workshop; scores were significantly improved (P=.02). Medial assessment focus group analysis suggested that nutrition education workshops provided worth, impact, and empowerment. Results suggest that collaborative community efforts involving promotoras/community health workers empower and allow for greater opportunities for outreach and delivery of evidence-based community health education to hard-to-reach residents.

The 14-year-old daughter of a retired Air Force non-commissioned officer was initially evaluated in January 2015 at the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center Urgent Care Center, Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, for fever and abdominal pain. She was managed conservatively (supportive care) but returned 3 days later with ongoing fever. During her hospitalization, serologic testing revealed negative immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titres for Rickettsia rickettsii (cause of Rocky Mountain spotted fever) and Coxiella burnetii (cause of Q fever). An initial R. typhi IgG antibody titre was positive at a 1:128 dilution by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) in serum obtained during her hospitalization. A convalescent-phase R. typhi IgG antibody titre obtained 3 weeks later was positive at a 1:256 dilution. No serum specimen was ever tested for R. typhi IgM antibody titre.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 37 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is the practice of treating the partners of patients with sexually transmitted infections by providing medications for the patient to deliver to his or her sexual partner (s) without direct clinical assessment of the partner(s). EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to "push the conversation" on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers.

Number of References: 87 ref. Registry Number: 57-88-5. N2 - Recent work demonstrated that the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is an essential entry receptor for filoviruses. While previous studies focused on filovirus entry requirements of NPC1 in vitro, its roles in filovirus replication and pathogenesis in vivo remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the importance of NPC1, and its partner in cholesterol transport, NPC2, by using a mouse model of Ebolavirus (EBOV) disease. We found that, whereas wild-type mice had high viral loads and succumbed to EBOV infection, Npc1-/- mice were entirely free of viral replication and completely protected from EBOV disease. Interestingly, Npc1+/- mice transiently developed high levels of viremia, but were nevertheless substantially protected from EBOV challenge. We also found Npc2-/- mice to be fully susceptible to EBOV infection, while Npc1-/- mice treated to deplete stored lysosomal cholesterol remained completely resistant to EBOV infection. These results provide mechanistic evidence that NPC1 is directly required for EBOV infection in vivo, with little or no role for NPC1/NPC2-dependent cholesterol transport. Finally, we assessed the in vivo antiviral efficacies of three compounds known to inhibit NPC1 function or NPC1-glycoprotein binding in vitro. Two compounds reduced viral titers in vivo and provided a modest, albeit not statistically significant, degree of protection. Taken together, our results show that NPC1 is critical for replication and pathogenesis in animals and is a bona fide target for development of antifilovirus therapeutics. Additionally, our findings with Npc1+/- mice raise the possibility that individuals heterozygous for NPC1 may have a survival advantage in the face of EBOV infection. IMPORTANCE: Researchers have been searching for an essential filovirus receptor for decades, and numerous candidate receptors have been proposed. However, none of the proposed candidate receptors has proven essential in all in vitro scenarios, nor have they proven essential when evaluated using animal models. In this report, we provide the first example of a knockout mouse that is completely refractory to EBOV infection, replication, and disease. The findings detailed here provide the first critical in vivo data illustrating the absolute requirement of NPC1 for filovirus infection in mice. Our work establishes NPC1 as a legitimate target for the development of anti-EBOV therapeutics. However, the limited success of available NPC1 inhibitors to protect mice from EBOV challenge highlights the need for new molecules or approaches to target NPC1 in vivo.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The U.S. Department of Defense vaccinates personnel deployed to high-risk areas with the vaccinia virus (VACV)-based smallpox vaccine. Autoinoculations and secondary and tertiary transmissions due to VACV shedding from the vaccination site continue to occur despite education of vaccinees on the risks of such infections. The objectives of this study were to investigate, in naïve smallpox vaccinees, (a) whether the vaccination site can remain contagious after the scab separates and (b) whether the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the vaccination site inactivates VACV without affecting the immune response. These objectives were tested in 60 individuals scheduled to receive smallpox vaccine. Thirty individuals (control) did not receive PIO; 30 subjects (treatment) received PIO starting on post-vaccination day 7. Counter to current dogma, this study showed that VACV continues to shed from the vaccination site after the scab separates. Overall viral shedding levels in the PIO group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p=0.0045), and PIO significantly reduced the duration of viral shedding (median duration 14.5 days and 21 days in the PIO and control groups, respectively; p=0.0444). At least 10% of control subjects continued to shed VACV at day 28, and 3.4% continued to shed the virus at day 42. PIO reduced the proportion of subjects shedding virus from the vaccination site from day 8 until days 21-23 compared with control subjects. Groups did not differ significantly in the proportion of subjects mounting an immune response, as measured by neutralizing antibodies, IgM, IgG, and interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assay. When applied to the vaccination site starting on day 7, PIO reduced viral shedding without altering the immune response. The use of PIO in addition to a semipermeable dressing may reduce the rates of autoinoculation and contact transmission originating from the vaccination site in smallpox-vaccinated individuals.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Objective: To investigate injury risk associated with occupation and occupational physical demand levels among U.S. Army Soldiers. Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: Personal characteristics, physical fitness, military occupational specialty (MOS), and injury data were obtained by survey from Soldiers in an Army light infantry brigade (n=2101). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) from a multivariate analysis assessing injury risk were calculated. Results: Injury incidence for the prior 12 months was 43%. Physical fitness and behavioral factors associated with injury risk included age 21-29 (OR [age 21-29/age ≤20]=1.37, 95% CI 1.00-1.90), BMI 27.5-29.9 (high-overweight) (OR high-overweight/normal=1.62, 95% CI 1.20-2.18); BMI >29.9 (obese) (OR obese/normal=1.73, 95% CI 1.23-2.44), cigarette smoking (OR Smoker/Nonsmoker=1.34, 95% CI 1.11-1.63), and poor APFT two mile run performance (OR (Q4/Q1)=1.61, 95% CI 1.19-2.19). Higher risk of injury was associated with some MOSs (OR (Chemical, Explosives & Ammunition/Infantry)=2.82, 95% CI 1.19-6.68; OR (Armor/Infantry)=1.53, 95% CI 1.13-2.07). Conclusion: This study identified a number of potentially modifiable risk factors for injuries including: maintenance of healthy weight, improved aerobic endurance, and reduction in smoking. Results also indicate certain Army occupations may be at higher risk of injury. Further investigation into reasons for their higher risk is warranted.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Previous reports indicate that the majority of U.S. Army soldiers consume dietary supplements (DSs) >1 time/wk. However, these studies did not evaluate phytonutrient supplementation. A growing literature suggests inclusion of phytonutrients in DSs may pose a risk for toxicity, which could impact the performance of soldier duties, as well as long-term health and wellness. This study was conducted to assess and understand soldiers' motivations to consume phytonutrient-containing DSs, specifically genistein, quercetin, and resveratrol. The study was a cross-sectional, descriptive mixed-methods design using a survey and semistructured interviews. There were 436 soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington who completed the survey, from which 36 soldiers completed an interview. Overall, 34% of soldiers reported taking a single or multicomponent phytonutrient DS >1 time/wk, from which 41 soldiers took >1 supplement/wk. Soldiers' reasons for use included unsure (54%), weight loss (12%), and other, unspecified (24%). The majority of interviewees did not consume DSs based on inclusion of genistein, quercetin, or resveratrol. The majority of soldiers, in our study, appear unable to rationalize their phytonutrient DS choices. Findings from this study illuminate the need for future research to further explore DS practices within military populations and encourage informed use of DSs.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Two small molecular weight inhibitors, compounds CB7969312 and CB7967495, that displayed inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A in a previous study, were evaluated for inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes B, C, E, and F. The small molecular weight inhibitors were assessed by molecular modeling, UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay; and an ex vivo assay, the mouse phrenic nerve - hemidiaphragm assay (MPNHDA). While both compounds were inhibitors of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes B, C, and F in the MPNHDA, compound CB7969312 was effective at lower molar concentrations than compound CB7967495. However, compound CB7967495 was significantly more effective at preventing BoNTE intoxication than compound CB7969312. In the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay, CB7969312 was also more effective against LcC. Both compounds inhibited BoNTE, but not BoNTF, LcE, or LcF in the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay. Molecular modeling studies predicted that both compounds would be effective inhibitors of BoNTs B, C, E, and F. But CB7967495 was predicted to be a more effective inhibitor of the four serotypes (B, C, E, and F) than CB7969312. This is the first report of a small molecular weight compound that inhibits serotypes B, C, E, and F in the ex vivo assay.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Dairy Science N2 - Interactions between dietary protein and energy balance on the regulation of human skeletal muscle protein turnover are not well described. A dietary protein intake above the recommended dietary allowance during energy balance typically enhances nitrogen retention and up-regulates muscle protein synthesis, which in turn may promote positive protein balance and skeletal muscle accretion. Recent studies show that during energy deficit, muscle protein synthesis is down-regulated with concomitant increases in ubiquitin proteasome-mediated muscle proteolysis and nitrogen excretion, reflecting the loss of skeletal muscle mass. However, consuming high-protein diets (1.6-2.4 g/kg per day), or high-quality, protein-based meals (15-30 g whey) during energy deficit attenuates intracellular proteolysis, restores muscle protein synthesis, and mitigates skeletal muscle loss. These findings are particularly important for physically active, normal-weight individuals because attenuating the extent to which skeletal muscle mass is lost during energy deficit could prevent decrements in performance, reduce injury risk, and facilitate recovery. This article reviews the relationship between energy status, protein intake, and muscle protein turnover, and explores future research directives designed to protect skeletal muscle mass in physically active, normal-weight adults.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The predominant human-biting tick throughout the southeastern United States is Amblyomma americanum. Its ability to transmit pathogens causing Lyme disease-like illnesses is a subject of ongoing controversy. Results of previous testing by the Department of Defense Human Tick Test Kit Program and other laboratories indicated that it is highly unlikely that A. americanum transmits any pathogen that causes Lyme disease. In contrast, a recent publication by Clark and colleagues (K. L. Clark, B. Leydet, and S. Hartman, Int. J. Med. Sci. 10:915-931, 2013) reported detection of Lyme group Borrelia in A. americanum using a nested-flagellin-gene PCR. We evaluated this assay by using it and other assays to test 1,097 A. americanum ticks collected from humans. Using the Clark assay, in most samples we observed nonspecific amplification and nonrepeatability of results on subsequent testing of samples. Lack of reaction specificity and repeatability is consistent with mispriming, likely due to high primer concentrations and low annealing temperatures in this protocol. In six suspect-positive samples, Borrelia lonestari was identified by sequencing of an independent gene region; this is not a Lyme group spirochete and is not considered zoonotic. B. burgdorferi was weakly amplified from one pool using some assays, but not others, and attempts to sequence the amplicon of this pool failed, as did attempts to amplify and sequence B. burgdorferi from the five individual samples comprising this pool. Therefore, B. burgdorferi was not confirmed in any sample. Our results do not support the hypothesis that A. americanum ticks are a vector for Lyme group Borrelia infections.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause severe disease in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates and continue to emerge in new geographic locations, including several countries in West Africa, the site of a large ongoing outbreak. Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are synthetic antisense molecules that are able to target mRNAs in a sequence-specific fashion and suppress translation through steric hindrance. We previously showed that the use of PMOs targeting a combination of VP35 and VP24 protected rhesus monkeys from lethal EBOV infection. Surprisingly, the present study revealed that a PMOplus compound targeting VP24 alone was sufficient to confer protection from lethal EBOV infection but that a PMOplus targeting VP35 alone resulted in no protection. This study further substantiates recent data demonstrating that VP24 may be a key virulence factor encoded by EBOV and suggests that VP24 is a promising target for the development of effective anti-EBOV countermeasures.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis, which is transmitted to humans most commonly by contact with infected animals, tick bites, or inhalation of aerosolized bacteria. F. tularensis is highly infectious via the aerosol route; inhalation of as few as 10-50 organisms can cause pneumonic tularemia. Left untreated, the pneumonic form has more than >30% case-fatality rate but with early antibiotic intervention can be reduced to 3%. This study compared tularemia disease progression across three species of nonhuman primates [African green monkey (AGM), cynomolgus macaque (CM), and rhesus macaque (RM)] following aerosolized F. tularensis Schu S4 exposure. Groups of the animals exposed to various challenge doses were observed for clinical signs of infection and blood samples were analyzed to characterize the disease pathogenesis. Whereas the AGMs and CMs succumbed to disease following challenge doses of 40 and 32 colony forming units (CFU), respectively, the RM lethal dose was 276,667 CFU. Following all challenge doses that caused disease, the NHPs experienced weight loss, bacteremia, fever as early as 4 days post exposure, and tissue burden. Necrotizing-to-pyogranulomatous lesions were observed most commonly in the lung, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. Overall, the CM model consistently manifested pathological responses similar to those resulting from inhalation of F. tularensis in humans and thereby most closely emulates human tularemia disease. The RM model displayed a higher tolerance to infection and survived exposures of up to 15,593 CFU of aerosolized F. tularensis.

N2 - Burkholderia mallei, the causative agent of glanders, is a CDC Tier 1 Select Agent for which there is no preventive vaccine and antibiotic therapy is difficult. In this study, we show that a combination of vaccination using killed cellular vaccine and therapy using moxifloxacin, azithromycin, or sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim can protect BALB/c mice from lethal infection even when given 5 days after infectious challenge. Vaccination only, or antibiotic therapy only, was not efficacious. Although antibiotics evaluated experimentally can protect when given before or 1 day after challenge, this time course is not realistic in the cases of natural infection or biological attack, when the patient seeks treatment after symptoms develop or after a biological attack has been confirmed and the agent has been identified. Antibiotics can be efficacious after a prolonged interval between exposure and treatment, but only if the animals were previously vaccinated.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Public Health; Agricultural Engineering; World Agriculture, Economics & Rural Sociology N2 - Dredging to maintain navigable waterways is important for supporting trade and economic sustainability. Dredged sediments are removed from the waterways and then must be managed in a way that meets regulatory standards and properly balances management costs and risks. Selection of a best management alternative often results in stakeholder conflict regarding tradeoffs between local environmental impacts associated with less expensive alternatives (e.g., open water placement), more expensive measures that require sediment disposal in constructed facilities far away (e.g., landfills), or beneficial uses that may be perceived as risky (e.g., beach nourishment or island creation). Current sediment-placement decisions often focus on local and immediate environmental effects from the sediment itself, ignoring a variety of distributed and long-term effects from transportation and placement activities. These extended effects have implications for climate change, resource consumption, and environmental and human health, which may be meaningful topics for many stakeholders not currently considered. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a systematic and quantitative method for accounting for this wider range of impacts and benefits across all sediment management project stages and time horizons. This paper applies a cradle-to-use LCA to dredged-sediment placement through a comparative analysis of potential upland, open water, and containment-island placement alternatives in the Long Island Sound region of NY/CT. Results suggest that, in cases dealing with uncontaminated sediments, upland placement may be the most environmentally burdensome alternative, per ton-kilometer of placed material, due to the emissions associated with diesel fuel combustion and electricity production and consumption required for the extra handling and transportation. These results can be traded-off with the ecosystem impacts of the sediments themselves in a decision-making framework.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative bacterium, is normally associated with pneumonia in patients with weakened immune systems. However, it is also a prevalent nosocomial infectious agent that can be found in infected surgical sites and combat wounds. Many of these clinical strains display multidrug resistance. We have worked with a clinical strain of K. pneumoniae that was initially isolated from a wound of an injured soldier. This strain demonstrated resistance to many commonly used antibiotics but sensitivity to carbapenems. This isolate was capable of forming biofilms in vitro, contributing to its increased antibiotic resistance and impaired clearance. We were interested in determining how sublethal concentrations of carbapenem treatment specifically affect K. pneumoniae biofilms both in morphology and in genomic expression. Scanning electron microscopy showed striking morphological differences between untreated and treated biofilms, including rounding, blebbing, and dimpling of treated cells. Comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology identified a large number of open reading frames (ORFs) differentially regulated in response to carbapenem treatment at 2 and 24 h. ORFs upregulated with carbapenem treatment included genes involved in resistance, as well as those coding for antiporters and autoinducers. ORFs downregulated included those coding for metal transporters, membrane biosynthesis proteins, and motility proteins. Quantitative real-time PCR validated the general trend of some of these differentially regulated ORFs. Treatment of K. pneumoniae biofilms with sublethal concentrations of carbapenems induced a wide range of phenotypic and gene expression changes. This study reveals some of the mechanisms underlying how sublethal amounts of carbapenems could affect the overall fitness and pathogenic potential of K. pneumoniae biofilm cells.

AB - Human automation interaction (HAI) systems have thus far failed to live up to expectations mainly because human users do not always interact with the automation appropriately. Trust in automation (TiA) has been considered a central influence on the way a human user interacts with an automation; if TiA is too high there will be overuse, if TiA is too low there will be disuse. However, even though extensive research into TiA has identified specific HAI behaviors, or trust outcomes, a unique mapping between trust states and trust outcomes has yet to be clearly identified. Interaction behaviors have been intensely studied in the domain of HAI and TiA and this has led to a reframing of the issues of problems with HAI in terms of reliance and compliance. We find the behaviorally defined terms reliance and compliance to be useful in their functionality for application in real-world situations. However, we note that once an inappropriate interaction behavior has occurred it is too late to mitigate it. We therefore take a step back and look at the interaction decision that precedes the behavior. We note that the decision neuroscience community has revealed that decisions are fairly stereotyped processes accompanied by measurable psychophysiological correlates. Two literatures were therefore reviewed. TiA literature was extensively reviewed in order to understand the relationship between TiA and trust outcomes, as well as to identify gaps in current knowledge. We note that an interaction decision precedes an interaction behavior and believe that we can leverage knowledge of the psychophysiological correlates of decisions to improve joint system performance. As we believe that understanding the interaction decision will be critical to the eventual mitigation of inappropriate interaction behavior, we reviewed the decision making literature and provide a synopsis of the state of the art understanding of the decision process from a decision neuroscience perspective. We forward hypotheses based on this understanding that could shape a research path toward the ability to mitigate interaction behavior in the real world.

AB - A common assumption in organizations is that information sharing improves situation awareness and ultimately organizational effectiveness. The sheer volume and rapid pace of information and communications received and readily accessible through computer networks, however, can overwhelm individuals, resulting in data overload from a combination of diverse data sources, multiple data formats, and large data volumes. The current conceptual framework of network enabled operations (NEO) posits that robust networking and information sharing act as a positive feedback loop resulting in greater situation awareness and mission effectiveness in military operations (Alberts and Garstka, 2004). We test this assumption in a large-scale, 2-week military training exercise. We conducted a social network analysis of email communications among the multi-echelon Mission Command staff (one Division and two sub-ordinate Brigades) and assessed the situational awareness of every individual. Results from our exponential random graph models challenge the aforementioned assumption, as increased email output was associated with lower individual situation awareness. It emerged that higher situation awareness was associated with a lower probability of out-ties, so that broadly sending many messages decreased the likelihood of attaining situation awareness. This challenges the hypothesis that increased information sharing improves situation awareness, at least for those doing the bulk of the sharing. In addition, we observed two trends that reflect a compartmentalizing of networked information sharing as email links were more commonly formed among members of the command staff with both similar functions and levels of situation awareness, than between two individuals with dissimilar functions and levels of situation awareness; both those findings can be interpreted to reflect effects of homophily. Our results have major implications that challenge the current conceptual framework of NEO. In addition, the information sharing network was largely imbalanced and dominated by a few key individuals so that most individuals in the network have very few email connections, but a small number of individuals have very many connections. These results highlight several major growing pains for networked organizations and military organizations in particular.

AB - Despite significant media and policy attention to the financial conditions of military and civilian households in American over the past few years, little is known about their relative standing and decision making. Using data from large national surveys, this analysis provides descriptive evidence on key differences for comparable young, low‐moderate income and education military and civilian respondents. I find that military members have more types of savings accounts, more problematic credit card behaviors, and equivalent use of alternative financial services. I briefly discuss directions for future research and some policy implications.

AB - Recent advances in electroencephalographic (EEG) acquisition allow for recordings using wet and dry sensors during whole-body motion. The large variety of commercially available EEG systems contrasts with the lack of established methods for objectively describing their performance during whole-body motion. Therefore, the aim of this study was to introduce methods for benchmarking the suitability of new EEG technologies for that context. Subjects performed an auditory oddball task using three different EEG systems (Biosemi wet—BSM, Cognionics Wet—Cwet, Conionics Dry—Cdry). Nine subjects performed the oddball task while seated and walking on a treadmill. We calculated EEG epoch rejection rate, pre-stimulus noise (PSN), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and EEG amplitude variance across the P300 event window (CVERP) from a subset of 12 channels common to all systems. We also calculated test-retest reliability and the subject’s level of comfort while using each system. Our results showed that using the traditional 75 µV rejection threshold BSM and Cwet epoch rejection rates are ∼25% and ∼47% in the seated and walking conditions respectively. However, this threshold rejects ∼63% of epochs for Cdry in the seated condition and excludes 100% of epochs for the majority of subjects during walking. BSM showed predominantly no statistical differences between seated and walking condition for all metrics, whereas Cwet showed increases in PSN and CVERP, as well as reduced SNR in the walking condition. Data quality from Cdry in seated conditions were predominantly inferior in comparison to the wet systems. Test-retest reliability was mostly moderate/good for these variables, especially in seated conditions. In addition, subjects felt less discomfort and were motivated for longer recording periods while using wet EEG systems in comparison to the dry system. The proposed method was successful in identifying differences across systems that are mostly caused by motion-related artifacts and usability issues. We conclude that the extraction of the selected metrics from an auditory oddball paradigm may be used as a benchmark method for testing the performance of different EEG systems in mobile conditions. Moreover dry EEG systems may need substantial improvements to meet the quality standards of wet electrodes.

Respirator experiments were performed according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (NF(I)CO2), standard European (ENF(I)CO2), and a modified method of the European test (BF(I)CO2) using full-facepiece air-purifying respirators and one air-purifying escape respirator. Bland-Altman statistics for determination of limits of agreement were applied to assess agreement among the various test methods. A considerable lack of agreement was found between NF(I)CO2 and ENF(I)CO2 methods and between BF(I)CO2 and NF(I)CO2 methods for average F(I)CO2. The modified EN136 method produced F(I)CO2 averages about 0.13% to 0.23% above unmodified EN136 values, but the agreement between methods was generally acceptable. These results demonstrate that NIOSH and European unmanned test methods for determining respirator average F(I)CO2 concentrations produce different results for like respirators. However, the findings suggest that the ENF(I)CO2 and BF(I)CO2 unmanned methods could be used interchangeably for quantifying respirator F(I)CO2 concentrations.

Cost-benefit analyses are often used, occasionally in concert with comparative risk assessment, to choose between competing project alternatives. The selection of appropriate remedial and abatement policies for contaminated sites, land-use planning and other regulatory decision-making problems for contaminated sites involves multiple criteria such as cost, benefit, environmental impact, safety, and risk. Some of these criteria cannot easily be condensed into a monetary value, which complicates the integration problem inherent to making comparisons and trade-offs. Even if it were possible to convert criteria rankings into a common unit this approach would not always be desirable since stakeholder preferences may be lost in the process. Furthermore, environmental concerns often involve ethical and moral principles that may not be related to any economic use or value. Considerable research in the area of multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) has made available practical methods for applying scientific decision theoretical approaches to multi-criteria problems. However, these methods have not been formalized into a framework readily applicable to environmental projects dealing with contaminated and disturbed sites where risk assessment and stakeholder participation are of crucial concern. This paper presents a review of available literature on the application of MCDA in environmental projects. Based on this review, the paper develops a decision analytic framework specifically tailored to deal with decision making at contaminated sites.

Web cameras have been used to monitor real-time ice conditions at hydropower plants, navigation reaches, or locations of ice-related flooding. This study demonstrates how Web cameras can also be used to investigate river ice processes. Hourly images taken over three winters at the confluence of the Allegheny River and Oil Creek in Oil City, Pa. were analyzed. Each image was manually reviewed and classified according to surface ice conditions: stationary ice cover, frazil ice, brash ice, or open lead formation in an ice cover. The percentage of the channel width in the image covered by each ice condition was recorded. The time series of ice data are presented along with the concurrent hydrological and meteorological data. The Web cameras were operational during the 2000–2001, 2001–2002, and 2002–2003 winter seasons and provided an effective and relatively inexpensive means of monitoring and analyzing the river ice conditions.

While this analysis suggests that certain types of terrorists can be deterred from certain types of attacks, it is less optimistic about the use of nuclear weapons in a terrorist deterrent strategy. A broad approach to deterrence may be effective against certain types of terrorist groups and attacks, making it crucially important to disaggregate the terrorist threat when setting policy. The article goes on to address two types of terrorist groups with a “global reach” that pose a serious threat to the United States: non-state actors driven by doctrines permitting catastrophic attacks and state-sponsored groups capable of carrying out catastrophic attacks. The analysis reveals a number of previously unappreciated tradeoffs and paradoxes associated with the deterrence of terrorists.

In recent years, however, they have witnessed an unprecedented increase according to several indicators, including number of attacks, number of organizations conducting these attacks, number of countries targeted, and number of victims. Existing explanations, including the occupation and outbidding theses, cannot account for the dramatic increase and spread of suicide attacks. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including analysis of a data set of 1,857 suicide attacks from December 1981 through March 2008, suggests that two interrelated factors have contributed to the "globalization of martyrdom": al-Qaida's evolution into a global terrorist actor and the growing appeal of its guiding ideology, Salafi jihad. As localized patterns of suicide missions have given way to more globalized patterns, states must rethink their counterterrorism strategies. At the same time, because Salafi jihadist groups tend to target Muslims, moderate Muslims and nonviolent Salafists must take the lead in challenging these groups.

The sediment will be placed in two cells enclosed by earthern berms about 9 m tall and cover about 36 ha. The air registration for the facility poses limits on particulate emissions; however, very little is known of the potential for particulate emissions from hydraulically placed dredged material. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to (1) determine temporal wind erodibility of the sediments; (2) estimate potential particulate emissions from wind erosion during CDF operations; and (3) simulate emission control measures that allow the CDF to comply with allowable emissions. A composite sample of Indiana Harbor sediment was placed in outdoor sediment bins at Manhattan, Kan., and variations in sediment wind erodibility parameters were determined over a 22 month period. In general, sediment erodibility increased with freeze/thaw cycling, but decreased during the summer. Next, the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance and the Primary Consolidation, Secondary Compression and Desiccation of Dredged Fill models were used to determine periods when the CDF cell surfaces would be saturated. Finally, the Wind Erosion Prediction System model was used to estimate potential suspended particulate emissions from the CDF during unsaturated periods. Hydraulic placement of the sediments in the cells will result in a sand bed at the north end of the cells that needs to be stabilized to prevent abrasion of the downwind area. Even with the sand bed stabilized, the simulation results showed that additional erosion control would likely be needed. Snow fences, short barriers, and stabilized strips were simulated as potential erosion controls. The results showed any of these could provide adequate reductions in emissions to meet the target emission levels.

This greatly increases the potential for erosion; and therefore, the need for efficient erosion and sediment control practices is a high priority. In this research, the performance of a silt fence system with tiebacks (a.k.a., “j-hooks”) was investigated to determine its effectiveness as a sediment control technology at highway construction sites over multiple rainfall events. The data presented provide a qualitative perspective showing sediment migration over time along with the occurrence or lack of failures among two silt fence systems tested. The results from this field test exhibit that silt fence tieback systems are more effective in containing eroded sediment from construction sites and also reduce the risk of silt fence system failures than traditional linear silt fence systems.

Given this trend, it is important to investigate factors that maximize the effectiveness of this training medium. The present research analyzed the impact of trainee attributes (i.e., prior videogame experience, videogame self-efficacy, and goal orientation) on game-based training outcomes. Participants completed a game-based tactics training exercise. The training exercise used America's Army, a first-person-perspective videogame with a single-player section to introduce game-specific tasks, followed by a multiplayer section where participants form small teams to conduct collaborative missions. Prior to and after the training exercise, participants completed online questionnaires. Results suggest that the trainee attributes, as a set, had a positive impact on trainee motivation, trainee satisfaction, ease in using the training game interface, metacognitive strategies utilized during training, and time spent engaging in the training game. These findings have implications for instructors using videogames as training tools. Recommendations for future research in this area are provided.

We examined interview data from two samples of U.S. Army leaders (40 combat veterans and 24 training facilitators). The adaptive behaviors performed most in combat reflected the Deals with Unpredictability and Handles Emergencies dimensions, whereas in training contexts they reflected the Leads Adaptive Teams and Solves Problems Creatively dimensions. The model represented all of the adaptive capabilities; however, the dimensions varied across the samples. To promote adaptability, the leaders recommended developing mental adaptability skills and adaptive teams.

We hypothesized that officers with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others would hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the officer's general dispositional resistance to change. As with the earlier cadet results, the findings confirmed the hypothesis for learning orientation but not for trust. Discussion focused on the utility of acquiring a better understanding of an embracing change disposition and on the value of salting individuals with high learning orientations throughout the organization. Additionally, for future research, we consider the importance of employing multiple and diverse methods when exploring the embracing change construct. Such methodological expansion will undoubtedly reduce some conceptual ambiguities associated with the current study.

This research adds to and extends such work within a military context. Specifically, we explore relations among various forms (e.g., affective, normative, and continuance) of both team- and military-focused commitment and several supervisory-rated performance criteria. Across the different criteria, team-focused commitment tended to be a stronger predictor of performance than military-oriented commitment did. However, military-oriented commitment was inversely related to supervisory ratings of soldiers' negative behaviors. We discuss the psychological mechanisms that likely drive these findings, the implications of this work, and several potentially fruitful next steps within this research domain.

Interventions that enhance visual attention might also enhance change detection, because focused attention has been identified as a requirement for change detection. Given current claims that habitual experience with action video games can increase attentional resources, we investigated whether such experience would lessen the incidence of change blindness in two change detection tasks. Although we replicated a previously demonstrated difference between players and nonplayers on the flanker-compatibility test (Green & Bavelier, 2003), we failed to find evidence that habitual action video game players were superior to nonplayers when it came to change detection.

In addition to the cognitive processing burden imposed upon modern warfighters, the effects of stress upon cognition and action must also be accounted for in evaluating individual warfighting capabilities. The current study examines the relationship between stress and cognition by measuring performance on a multiple object tracking (MOT) task after exposure to stress-inducing photographs. Postexposure performance revealed significant decrements in MOT accuracy relative to a nonstressed control group. Implications are discussed regarding the impact of stress on attentional selection for operational scenarios where it is difficult to distinguish friendly individuals from those with hostile intentions, as well as for the development of technology for command, control, communications (computers), and intelligence (C4I) systems.

Data were obtained from 26 combat-experienced medics. Volunteers were briefed on the medical monitoring system. They then completed a questionnaire on background medical treatment experience, provided drawings on how and what information should be displayed on the GUI screens for use on a personal digital assistant, and participated in focus group sessions with four to seven medics per group to obtain group consensus on what information the GUI screens should contain. Detailed displays on seven screens provide the medical and situational awareness information medics need for triage decisions and for early processing of a casualty. The created GUI screens are a combination of object-based and text-based information using a color-coded system. Medics believed the information displayed with these GUI designs would improve treatment of casualties on the battlefield.

The availability of specific information on the vector-borne disease threat (e.g., presence or absence of a specific disease agent, temporal and geographic distribution of competent vectors, and vector infection rates) allows for effective implementation of appropriate measures to protect our deployed military forces. Vector diagnostics can provide critical, real-time information crucial to establishing effective vector prevention/control programs. In this article we provide an overview of current vector diagnostic capabilities, evaluate the use of vector diagnostics in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and discuss the concept of operations under which vector diagnostics are employed.

A surveillance project to evaluate U.S. military patients for the presence of MDR pathogens from wounding through the first 30 days of care in the military healthcare system (MHS) was performed. U.S. military patients admitted to a single combat support hospital in Iraq during June-July of 2007 had screening swabs obtained for the detection of MDR bacteria and a subsequent retrospective electronic medical records review for presence of colonization or infection in the subsequent 30 days. Screening of 74 U.S. military patients in Iraq found one colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Fifty-six patients of these were screened for Acinetobacter in Germany and one found colonized. Of patients evacuated to the U.S., 9 developed infections. Carefully obtained screening cultures immediately after injury combined with look-back monitoring supports the role of nosocomial transmission. Consistent infection control strategies are needed for the entire MHS.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2009/07// Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 174 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 762 EP - 769 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Malaria was eradicated and the Republic of Korea (ROK) declared "malaria free" in 1979. However, in 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria, expressing both latent and nonlatent disease populations, re-emerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), rapidly spread to civilian sectors near the DMZ, and increased exponentially in ROK military, veteran, and civilian populations through 1998. Malaria among all ROK populations decreased 5-fold from a high of 4,142 cases in 2000 to a low of 826 cases in 2004, before increasing again to 2,180 cases by 2007. Each malaria case in the ROK is reported in the metropolitan area/province where the diagnosis is made, which may be at some distance from the area where infection occurred. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain transmission sites since approximately 60% of vivax malaria in Korea is latent with symptoms occurring >1 month to 24 months after infection. A review of case diagnosis for civilian, veteran, and military populations shows that nearly all malaria south of Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces is the result of veterans exposed in malaria high-risk areas along the DMZ and returning to their hometowns where they later develop malaria. Thus, malaria currently remains localized near the DMZ with limited transmission in provinces south of Seoul and has not spread throughout Korea as previously hypothesized. This report describes the reemergence of vivax malaria cases in civilian and military ROK populations and U.S. military personnel and assesses variables related to its transmission and geographic distribution.

Methods: Sixty patients with LBP identified as likely responders to manipulation underwent a standardized clinical examination and were randomized to receive a lumbopelvic (LP) or lumbar neutral gap (NG) manipulation technique. Outcome measures were a numeric pain rating scale and the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. Results: Both the LP and NG groups experienced statistically significant reductions in pain and disability at 48 hours postmanipulation. The improvements seen in each group were small because of the short follow-up. There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in pain or disability between the two groups. Conclusion: The two manipulation techniques used in this study were equally effective at reducing pain and disability when compared at 48 hours posttreatment. Clinicians may employ either technique for the treatment of LBP and can expect similar outcomes in those who satisfy the clinical prediction rule (CPR). Further research is required to determine whether differences exist at longer-term follow-up periods, after multiple treatment sessions, or in different clinical populations.

Methods: Anthropometrics, ethnicity, and fitness data were collected before review of medical records. Results: Injury rates for I, CE, and CA were 4.0, 7.2, and 5.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, respectively: over 70% of them resulted from overuse. SF soldiers had an injury rate of 3.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, 50% of them reported as traumatic. Average limited-duty days (LDDs) were threefold higher in SF. Smoking, BMI ≥25, and APFT run time for 3.2 km >14 minutes were risk factors in I. Caucasian ethnicity, height <170.2 cm, weight ≥90 kg, and BMI ≥25 were risk factors in CE and CA. Age >27 years old was a risk factor in SF. Conclusions: Greater emphasis should be placed on risk factor identification and testing strategies to reduce injuries among SF and other troops.

The conference focused on three aspects of military nutrition: (1) fueling the forces, or garrison feeding; (2) performance optimization or operational feeding during deployment: and (3) nutritional interventions to support health reset and healing. Presentations by speakers addressed practical interventions (i.e., ready for implementation now) and advanced technologies (i.e., approaches meriting prioritized research and development efforts to transition into application). The conference concluded that nutritional optimization represents an integral and proactive approach to prevent illness, injury, and performance degradation throughout all phases of military service.

We examined the incidence, prevalence, and risk of eating disorders at the United States Military Academy (USMA) over a 7-year period (total population 12,731 cadets). The incidence per year for females was 0.02% for anorexia, 0.17% for bulimia, and 0.17% for eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and for makes was 0.0% for anorexia. 0.003% for bulimia, and 0.02% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. The total prevalence of diagnosed eating disorders for females was 5% and for males was 0.1%. For females over the 7-year period, we found a prevalence of 0.2% for anorexia. 1.2% for bulimia, 1.2% lot eating disorders not otherwise specified, and for males we found a prevalence of 0.0% for anorexia. 0.02% for bulimia, and 0.03% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. Nineteen percent of females and 2% of males scored a 20 or higher on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT)-26 survey indicating they were at risk for developing an eating disorder. We conclude that the prevalence of eating disorders at USMA is comparable to civilian colleges.

This study examined the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in soldiers (N = 3,792) undergoing combat medic training. At the start of training, 10.4%, 15.5%, and 4.1% of soldiers had clinically significant depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation, respectfully. These percentages increased to 12.2%, 20.3%, and 5.7% at completion of training, respectfully. Worsening of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation occurred for 7.7%, 11.4%, and 4% of soldiers. Higher percentages of symptoms were associated with females, lower education, and lower income. Active duty personnel were more likely to worsen following training with respect to suicidal ideation (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.2-2.9) compared to reservists. The identification of these significant predictors of mental health status may serve to identify individuals at risk. Additional work to examine the relative contribution of anticipatory (impending deployment) factors vs. training-related factors is warranted.

To determine the frequency, distinguishing clinical characteristics, and etiology of A. americanum-associated illness and identify associated risk factors, a protective study of adult tick-bite victims was conducted at Fort Campbell from 2005-2007. Forty-two participants submitted ticks, none of which contained Borrelia lonestari or B. burgdorferi DNA. Thirty-three participants completed a follow-up health survey; 14 reported at least one symptom: two had erythema migrans-like rash; eight sought medical evaluation for their symptoms. Findings suggest that a variety of symptoms are temporally associated with tick bite but data provide no clear evidence that reported symptoms were caused by an infectious process. Removing a tick by hand or being bitten on a limb may be a risk factor for illness.

From 1979. when the Republic of Korea (ROK) was declared malaria free, malaria did not present a health threat to U.S. forces deployed in Korea until the early 1990s, In 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria expressing both latent (long prepatent incubation periods of usually 6-18 months after infection) and nonlatent (short prepatent incubation periods <30 days after infection) disease reemerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and once again presented a primary health threat to U.S. military populations in the ROK. Following its reemergence, malaria rates increased dramatically through 1998 and accounted for >44% of all malaria cases among U.S. Army soldiers from 1997 to 2002. More than 60% of all Korean-acquired malaria among U.S. soldiers was identified as latent malaria. Nearly 80% of all latent malaria attributed to exposure in Korea was diagnosed in the U.S. or other countries where soldiers were deployed, These data illustrate the requirement for a comprehensive malaria education program, especially for those soldiers residing or training in malaria high-risk areas, to inform soldiers and providers of the risk of developing malaria after leaving Korea.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2005. The study found 171 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 13.3/10,000 soldiers per year) and 35 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21.6/101100 soldiers per year), a total of 206 MEDEVACS. Fifty-three percent (n = 109) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries caused by acts of war. Thirty-one percent of all oral-facial MEDEVACS (n = 64) were for diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Sixteen percent (n = 33) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were fix nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the face bones, for the most part because of motor vehicle accidents.

No new disease syndrome was identified, but the research produced new understanding and awareness of important psychosocial and neurotoxicological interactions that represented a difficult and relatively untapped frontier in biomedical research, especially concerning chronic multisymptom illnesses. Some specific Gulf War issues such as effects of depleted uranium. Leishmania diagnosis and treatment, and pesticide and prophylactic drug interactions have been intensively investigated; remaining priorities for further investigation include: markers of neurologic change (e.g., neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing), interactions between psychological resilience and neurotoxicity, structure-function relationships of neurotoxins with neurodegenerative disease potential. and predictors of individual susceptibility. The primary conclusions from the program are that no specific neurotoxic chemical has been identified that explains the chronic multisymptom illness observed but wellness of service members in future deployments may be better sustained based on continuing research on preexposure health baselining, fitness and health-damaging behaviors, and stress resilience. The many scientific discoveries and accomplishments of the GWI research effort have advanced military medical science, provided a solid basis on which to build future protections against health and performance risks to the warfighter, and improved the ability to respond to future deployment health issues.

Two biomechanical surrogates were evaluated using the loading conditions: 50th percentile Hybrid III foot/ankle and Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint THOR-Lx. Comparisons of the force-time response were made to established corridors. Results show a better correlation to the corridors with the THOR-Lx; however, future improvements to the THOR-Lx are recommended.

U.S. Army paratroopers rely on their ballistic helmets for protection against TBIs when jumping. Currently, two different helmets are available to Army paratroopers, that is, the personnel tumor system for ground troops helmet and the advanced combat helmet. This study compared the incidence of self reported, jump-related TBIs in a small sample of paratroopers (N - 585) using each type of helmet. Data were obtained from surveys of soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The overall relative risk of sustaining a TBI while jumping was 2.3 times (95% confidence interval, 1.3-4.3) higher for personnel armor system for ground troops helmet users. Most of the increase in risk was accounted for by the most-minor TBIs American Academy of Neurology grade I or 2 concussion).

AB - Objective: This study assessed listeners’ ability to localize spatially differentiated virtual audio signals delivered by bone conduction (BC) vibrators and circumaural air conduction (AC) headphones. Background: Although the skull offers little intracranial sound wave attenuation, previous studies have demonstrated listeners’ ability to localize auditory signals delivered by a pair of BC vibrators coupled to the mandibular condyle bones. The current study extended this research to other BC vibrator locations on the skull. Method: Each participant listened to virtual audio signals originating from 16 different horizontal locations using circumaural headphones or BC vibrators placed in front of, above, or behind the listener’s ears. The listener’s task was to indicate the signal’s perceived direction of origin. Results: Localization accuracy with the BC front and BC top positions was comparable to that with the headphones, but responses for the BC back position were less accurate than both the headphones and BC front position. Conclusion: This study supports the conclusion of previous studies that listeners can localize virtual 3D signals equally well using AC and BC transducers. Based on these results, it is apparent that BC devices could be substituted for AC headphones with little to no localization performance degradation. Application: BC headphones can be used when spatial auditory information needs to be delivered without occluding the ears. Although vibrator placement in front of the ears appears optimal from the localization standpoint, the top or back position may be acceptable from an operational standpoint or if the BC system is integrated into headgear.

AB - The aim of this research is to enhance game-based training applications to support educational events in the absence of live instruction. The overarching purpose of the presented study was to explore available tools for integrating intelligent tutoring communications in game-based learning platforms and to examine theory-based techniques for delivering explicit feedback in such environments. The primary tool influencing the design of this research was the open-source Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT), a modular domain-independent architecture that provides the tools and methods to author, deliver, and evaluate intelligent tutoring technologies within any instructional domain. Influenced by research surrounding social cognitive theory and cognitive load theory, the resulting experiment tested varying approaches for utilizing an Embodied Pedagogical Agent (EPA) to function as a tutor during interaction in a game-based training environment. Conditions were authored to assess the tradeoffs between embedding an EPA directly in a game, embedding an EPA in GIFT’s browser-based Tutor–User Interface (TUI), or using audio prompts alone with no social grounding. The resulting data supported the application of using an EPA embedded in GIFT’s TUI to provide explicit feedback during a game-based learning event. Analyses revealed conditions with an EPA situated in the TUI to be as effective as embedding the agent directly in the game environment.

AB - Cognitive skills training has been linked to greater skills, self-efficacy, and performance. Although research in a variety of organizational settings has demonstrated training efficacy, few studies have assessed cognitive skills training using rigorous, longitudinal, randomized trials with active controls. The present study examined cognitive skills training in a high-risk occupation by randomizing 48 platoons (N = 2,432 soldiers) in basic combat training to either (a) mental skills training or (b) an active comparison condition (military history). Surveys were conducted at baseline and 3 times across the 10-week course. Multilevel mixed-effects models revealed that soldiers in the mental skills training condition reported greater use of a range of cognitive skills and increased confidence relative to those in the control condition. Soldiers in the mental skills training condition also performed better on obstacle course events, rappelling, physical fitness, and initial weapons qualification scores, although effects were generally moderated by gender and previous experience. Overall, effects were small; however, given the rigor of the design, the findings clearly contribute to the broader literature by providing supporting evidence that cognitive training skills can enhance performance in occupational and sports settings. Future research should address gender and experience to determine the need for targeting such training appropriately.

AB - Visual search is an essential task for many lifesaving professions; airport security personnel search baggage X-ray images for dangerous items and radiologists examine radiographs for tumors. Accuracy is critical for such searches; however, there are potentially negative influences that can affect performance; for example, the displays can be cluttered and can contain multiple targets. Previous research has demonstrated that clutter can hurt search performance and a second target is less likely to be detected in a multiple-target search after a first target has been found, which raises a concern—how does clutter affect multiple-target search performance? The current study explored clutter in a multiple-target search paradigm, where there could be one or two targets present, and targets appeared in varying levels of clutter. There was a significant interaction between clutter and target number: Increasing levels of clutter did not affect single-target detection but did reduce detection of a second target. Multiple-target search accuracy is known to be sensitive to contextual influences, and the current results reveal a specific effect wherein clutter disproportionally affected multiple-target search accuracy. These results suggest that the detection and processing of a first target might enhance the masking effects of clutter around a second target.

AB - The impact of war on local wildlife can be devastating, the effects of which are often felt well beyond the terminus of the initial threat. In areas where wildlife experiences unrestricted movement through previously affected zones, residual, unexploded landmines present a significant and potentially lethal problem. Anecdotal reports of African elephants (Loxodonta africana), in a once war-torn Angola, avoiding minefields together with telemetry data suggest that the species may be able to detect concealed landmines using olfaction. Before any in-field experiments can be conducted, an elephant's olfactory capacity for the detection of the most commonly used component in landmines, trinitrotoluene (TNT), needed to be established. Using three African elephants under controlled conditions, we used operant conditioning to test whether elephants are able to detect and reliably indicate the presence of TNT using olfaction. Elephants detected and indicated TNT using olfaction at levels greater than chance, with high sensitivity and selectivity, even when in the presence of highly volatile distractor odors. Additionally, the sensitivity of detection surpasses that of TNT-detection dogs working under similar conditions, suggesting that the potential application of African elephants within the biosensor-field should not be underestimated.

AB - A good fit of model predictions to empirical data are often used as an argument for model validity. However, if the model is flexible enough to fit a large proportion of potential empirical outcomes, finding a good fit becomes less meaningful. We propose a method for estimating the proportion of potential empirical outcomes that the model can fit: Model Flexibility Analysis (MFA). MFA aids model evaluation by providing a metric for gauging the persuasiveness of a given fit. We demonstrate that MFA can be more informative than merely discounting the fit by the number of free parameters in the model, and show how the number of free parameters does not necessarily correlate with the flexibility of the model. Additionally, we contrast MFA with other flexibility assessment techniques, including Parameter Space Partitioning, Model Mimicry, Minimum Description Length, and Prior Predictive Evaluation. Finally, we provide examples of how MFA can help to inform modeling results and discuss a variety of issues relating to the use of MFA in model validation.

This qualitative study used criterion purposeful sampling and thematic analysis in analysis of data from 31 African-American cancer patients to understand the influence of religion on the utilization of cancer care services. Our findings suggest that religious beliefs and practices positively influenced attitudes toward their illness and ability to endure treatment. God’s ability to heal and cure, God’s control over survival, God’s will over their lives, and God’s promise for health and prosperity were examples of survivor’s religious beliefs. Religious practices such as prayer promoted a trusting relationship with healthcare providers and were a source of strength and encouragement.

However, the nature and dimensionality of leader emotion management and the behaviors that constitute such management are largely unknown. The authors present a comprehensive, theoretically-derived model of leader emotion management which clarifies the nature of emotion management and its role in leadership. This model also delineates the knowledge and skill-based antecedents of emotion management and the consequences of such management. Specifically, we propose linkages between particular KSAOs and specific emotion management dimensions and between those dimensions and particular individual and organizational outcomes. The model is meant to serve as a framework to guide empirical efforts in investigating the nature and correlates of leader emotion management.

JO - Leadership Quarterly JF - Leadership Quarterly Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 449 EP - 467 SN - 10489843 AB - Abstract: Many of the prevailing approaches to understanding leadership assume that leadership operates as an individual-level phenomenon, in which one person takes on the role of a leader. However, a number of recently developed leadership models now describe leadership as a shared process. These collectivistic theories present leadership as a dynamic process in which a leader may selectively utilize the skills of followers and distribute elements of the leadership role among these followers as the situation demands. In this study, we conduct an investigation into the viability of core elements of the collectivistic theories through a historiometric analysis of events from the career of a notable leader, George C. Marshall. One hundred and two events from Marshall's career were identified from historical biographies and were then content coded and analyzed with regard to the components of a collectivistic leadership model. The results of this historiometric analysis indicated that there are key antecedents to collectivistic leadership and that the use of this form of leadership can result in positive team outcomes.

Fractal-based inductor design is a method for obtaining a very long trace lengths—and thus inductance densities—in 2-D space as a replacement for the serpentines currently used in one layer inductors. Because of the intricate course created by a fractal curve, these types of inductors are particularly well suited for stretchable electronics, where a tortuous path relieves mechanical stress and creates a more compliant structure. Inductors based on seven common space filling curves, all bounded within a one square millimeter area, were both simulated and measured experimentally and found to vary between 3.0 and 7.1 nH. Lower order fractals were found to give comparable performance to serpentine inductors with similar inductance density. More complicated fractals, after more than two iterations, were found to have lower inductance density than similar resistance serpentines. Mechanical simulations demonstrate a reduction in stress by a factor of 10 or more compared with the loop and serpentine designs.

Recently, characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual module designed for large-scale electric military vehicle applications has been reported. This paper expands on the previous work by presenting details and results obtained from a long-term evaluation of a similar module. The module has successfully operated in an experimental circuit at a switching frequency of 10 kHz while running vehicle load profiles for over 1000 h and exhibited little change in device characteristics. Of all measured characteristics, none had a significant unfavorable change greater than 10% from its initial value. The 1000 h of circuit operation represents 11 783 miles of use or over half of the expected lifecycle in a military vehicle traction inverter.

JO - Cognitive Science JF - Cognitive Science Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 38 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 275 EP - 302 SN - 03640213 AB - Learning a novel environment involves integrating first-person perceptual and motoric experiences with developing knowledge about the overall structure of the surroundings. The present experiments provide insights into the parallel development of these egocentric and allocentric memories by intentionally conflicting body- and world-centered frames of reference during learning, and measuring outcomes via online and offline measures. Results of two experiments demonstrate faster learning and increased memory flexibility following route perspective reading (Experiment 1) and virtual navigation (Experiment 2) when participants begin exploring the environment on a northward (vs. any other direction) allocentric heading. We suggest that learning advantages due to aligning body-centered (left/right/forward/back) with world-centered ( NSEW) reference frames are indicative of three features of spatial memory development and representation. First, memories for egocentric and allocentric information develop in parallel during novel environment learning. Second, cognitive maps have a preferred orientation relative to world-centered coordinates. Finally, this preferred orientation corresponds to traditional orientation of physical maps (i.e., north is upward), suggesting strong associations between daily perceptual and motor experiences and the manner in which we preferentially represent spatial knowledge.

Researchers worked with personnel from the town of Christiansburg to gather inventory data and past work history on all of the pavements within the town’s network. First, the network was defined by importing existing GIS data into commercially available PMS software. The expected pavement performance was then modeled using age data along with surface condition information gathered during a survey of the network. The surface condition, age, and performance data were all combined to develop several maintenance and rehabilitation scenarios for the pavement network. The results indicated that implementing the PMS provided a framework that significantly enhanced the ability of the municipality’s engineers to determine the optimal work types and work scenarios for long-term budgeting and planning.

Each player yields a noisy response to a binary query governed by a certain error probability. First, we propose a sequential policy for constructing questions that queries each player in sequence and refines the posterior of the target location. Second, we consider a joint policy that asks all players questions in parallel at each time instant and characterize the structure of the optimal policy for constructing the sequence of questions. This generalizes the single player probabilistic bisection method for stochastic search problems. Third, we prove an equivalence between the two schemes showing that, despite the fact that the sequential scheme has access to a more refined filtration, the joint scheme performs just as well on average. Fourth, we establish convergence rates of the mean-square error and derive error exponents. Finally, we obtain an extension to the case of unknown error probabilities. This framework provides a mathematical model for incorporating a human in the loop for active machine learning systems.

Microarray analyses were used to identify impacted receptors and toxicity pathways in liver and brain tissues that were confirmed using in vitro mammalian assays. AgNO3 and PVP-AgNP exposed fish had common and distinct effects consistent with both intact nanoparticles and dissolved silver causing effects. PVP-AgNPs and AgNO3 both affected pathways involved in Na+, K+, and H+ homeostasis and oxidative stress but different neurotoxicity pathways. In vivo effects were supported by PVP-AgNP activation of five in vitro nuclear receptor assays and inhibition of ligand binding to the dopamine receptor. AgNO3 inhibited ligand binding to adrenergic receptors α1 and α2 and cannabinoid receptor CB1, but had no effect in nuclear receptor assays. PVP-AgNPs have the potential to cause effects both through intact nanoparticles and metal ions, each interacting with different initiating events. Since the in vitro and in vivo assays examined here are commonly used in human and ecological hazard screening, this work suggests that environmental health assessments should consider effects of intact nanoparticles in addition to dissolved metals.

Extreme floods have the capacity to rapidly transform landscapes and expose landscape vulnerabilities through highly variable spatial patterns of inundation, erosion, and deposition. We use the historic activation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway during the Mississippi and Ohio River Flooding of 2011 as a scientifically unique stress experiment to analyze indicators of floodplain vulnerability. We use pre- and postflood airborne Light Detection and Ranging data sets to locate erosional and depositional hotspots over the 540 km² agricultural Floodway. While riparian vegetation between the river and the main levee breach likely prevented widespread deposition, localized scour and deposition occurred near the levee breaches. Eroded gullies nearly 1 km in length were observed at a low ridge of a relict meander scar of the Mississippi River. Our flow modeling and spatial mapping analysis attributes this vulnerability to a combination of erodible soils, flow acceleration associated with legacy fluvial landforms, and a lack of woody vegetation to anchor soil and enhance flow resistance. Results from this study could guide future mitigation and adaptation measures in cases of extreme flooding.

The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of median and ulnar neuropathies in U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Band members at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. METHODS: Thirty-five MEDCOM Band members (30 males, 5 females) volunteered to participate. There were 33 right-handed musicians, and the mean length of time in the MEDCOM Band was 12.2 yrs (range, 1-30 yrs). Subjects completed a history form, were interviewed, and underwent a physical examination of the cervical spine and bilateral upper extremities. Nerve conduction studies of the bilateral median and ulnar nerves were performed. Electrophysiological variables served as the reference standard for median and ulnar neuropathy and included distal sensory latencies, distal motor latencies, amplitudes, conduction velocities, and comparison study latencies. RESULTS: Ten of the 35 subjects (29%) presented with abnormal electrophysiologic values suggestive of an upper extremity mononeuropathy. Nine of the subjects had abnormal median nerve electrophysiologic values at or distal to the wrist; 2 had bilateral abnormal values. One had an abnormal ulnar nerve electrophysiologic assessment at the elbow. Nine of these 10 subjects had clinical examination findings consistent with the electrophysiological findings. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of mononeuropathies in this sample of band members is similar to that found in previous research involving civilian musicians (20-36%) and far exceeds that reported in the general population. Prospective research investigating screening, examination items, and injury prevention measures in musicians appears to be warranted.

The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a greater occurrence in women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor units of the VM and VMO are differentially recruited and if this recruitment pattern has an effect of sex or menstrual cycle phase. METHODS: Single motor unit recordings from the VM and VMO were obtained for men and women during an isometric ramp knee extension. Eleven men were tested once. Seven women were tested during five different phases of the menstrual cycle, determined by basal body temperature mapping. The recruitment threshold and the initial firing rate at recruitment were determined from 510 motor unit recordings. RESULTS: The initial firing rate was lower in the VMO than that in the VM in women (P < 0.001) but not in men. There was no difference in recruitment thresholds for the VM and VMO in either sex or across the menstrual cycle. There was a main effect of menstrual phase on initial firing rate, showing increases from the early follicular to late luteal phase (P = 0.003). The initial firing rate in the VMO was lower than that in the VM during ovulatory (P = 0.009) and midluteal (P = 0.009) phases. CONCLUSION: The relative control of the VM and VMO changes across the menstrual cycle. This could influence patellar pathologies that have a higher incidence in women.

AB - Humans are extremely good at detecting anomalies in sensory input. For example, while listening to a piece of Western-style music, an anomalous key change or an out-of-key pitch is readily apparent, even to the non-musician. In this paper we investigate differences between musical experts and non-experts during musical anomaly detection. Specifically, we analyzed the electroencephalograms (EEG) of five expert cello players and five non-musicians while they listened to excerpts of J.S. Bach's Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1. All subjects were familiar with the piece, though experts also had extensive experience playing the piece. Subjects were told that anomalous musical events (AMEs) could occur at random within the excerpts of the piece and were told to report the number of AMEs after each excerpt. Furthermore, subjects were instructed to remain still while listening to the excerpts and their lack of movement was verified via visual and EEG monitoring. Experts had significantly better behavioral performance (i.e. correctly reporting AME counts) than non-experts, though both groups had mean accuracies greater than 80%. These group differences were also reflected in the EEG correlates of key-change detection post-stimulus, with experts showing more significant, greater magnitude, longer periods of, and earlier peaks in condition-discriminating EEG activity than novices. Using the timing of the maximum discriminating neural correlates, we performed source reconstruction and compared significant differences between cellists and non-musicians. We found significant differences that included a slightly right lateralized motor and frontal source distribution. The right lateralized motor activation is consistent with the cortical representation of the left hand - i.e. the hand a cellist would use, while playing, to generate the anomalous key-changes. In general, these results suggest that sensory anomalies detected by experts may in fact be partially a result of an embodied cognition, with a model of the action for generating the anomaly playing a role in its detection.

However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury.

In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The 'recent loss of someone close' and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study's primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

Users are both adaptable and imperfect observers, which often makes it difficult for them to distinguish between candidate designs. This insensitivity is described by a concept called ‘just noticeable difference’, or JND. This paper presents an implementation of JND modelling and demonstrates how its use in the sizing of products or environments for target user populations can improve expected performance. Two facets of this problem are explored: (1) how experimental measures of JND for dimensional optimisation tasks may be obtained, and (2) how measures of JND may be included in models of user–device interaction for both adjustable and discretely sized products and the assumptions required. A case study demonstrating the collection and modelling of JND for a simple univariate problem is also presented. Practitioner Summary:Since people are adaptable and imperfect observers, there exists a ‘just noticeable difference’ that can be considered when designing products and environments. When JND is modelled for a target population, less variability in design dimensions due to physical user requirements may be necessary. This paper considers JND in quantitative simulations of population accommodation.

For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

AB - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n = 10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p = .10–0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca = 0.30 ± 0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41 ± 0.53 μmol/L; Zn 1.11 ± 0.80 μmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p < .05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability.

Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r(2) = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r(2) = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are 'fit for duty' (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from 1966 to March 2013. Study Selection Studies were included if they recruited adult patients with peripheral and central nervous system disorders, were treated with the cranial nerve noninvasive neuromodulator device, and were assessed with objective measures of function. Data Extraction After title and abstract screening of potential articles, full texts were independently reviewed to identify articles that met inclusion criteria. Data Synthesis The search identified 12 publications: 5 were critically reviewed, and of these 5, 2 were combined in a meta-analysis. There were no randomized controlled studies identified, and the meta-analysis was based on pre-post studies. Most of the patients were individuals with a chronic balance dysfunction. The pooled results demonstrated significant improvements in the dynamic gait index postintervention with a mean difference of 3.45 (95% confidence interval, 1.75–5.15; P <.001), Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale with a mean difference of 16.65 (95% confidence interval, 7.65–25.47; P <.001), and Dizziness Handicap Inventory with improvements of −26.07 (95% confidence interval, −35.78 to −16.35; P <.001). Included studies suffered from small sample sizes, lack of randomization, absence of blinding, use of referral populations, and variability in treatment schedules and follow-up rates. Conclusions Given these limitations, the results of the meta-analysis must be interpreted cautiously. Further investigation using rigorous randomized controlled trials is needed to evaluate this promising rehabilitation tool for nervous system disorders.

Identifying novel biomarkers capable of predicting the extent of HS-induced organ damage will enhance point-of-care triage and treatment. Conscious male F344 rats (n = 32) were radiotelemetered for continuous core temperature (Tc), heart rate, and arterial pressure measurement. Twenty-two animals were exposed to ambient temperature of 37°C to a maximum Tc of 41.9 ± 0.1°C. Rats were euthanized at 24 h of recovery for analysis of plasma biomarkers [cardiac troponin I (cTnI), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, glucose] and histology. Tc profiles observed during recovery stratified HS severity into Mild, Moderate, and Severe. Eleven (50%) animals exhibited an acute compensatory hemodynamic response to heat exposure and a monophasic Tc profile consisting of sustained hyperthermia (~1°C). Five (23%) rats displayed hemodynamic challenge and a biphasic Tc profile with rapid return to baseline followed by rebound hyperthermia. All biomarkers were significantly altered from control values (P < 0.05). Four (18%) animals exhibited significant hemodynamic compromise during heat and a triphasic profile characterized by rapid cooling to baseline Tc, rebound hyperthermia, and subsequent hypothermia (~35°C) through 24 h. cTnI showed a 40-fold increase over CON (P< 0.001) and correlated with BUN (r= 0.912) consistent with cardiorenal failure. Hypoglycemia correlated with ALT (r = 0.824) suggestive of liver dysfunction. Histology demonstrated myocardial infarction, renal tubular necrosis, and acute liver necrosis. Two (9%) animals succumbed during HS recovery. This study identified novel biomarkers that predict HS severity and organ damage during acute recovery that could provide clinical significance for identifying key biomarkers of HS pathogenesis.

Since R&D funding creates jobs, it was seen to have direct impact of the national economy. However, economists claim that the link between innovation, R&D and new jobs seems to have stopped. During the financial crisis, the author observed that the administration of President Barack Obama showed the relevance of science and technology in the society, along with the historical effect of successful R&D on the society.

The foreign red blood cell (RBC) challenge is an important part of a complement of tests used to assess immunocompetence in the laboratory because it can assess an individual’s humoral response without impacting its health. This challenge is used commonly across species and measures antibody titers in response to an intraperitoneal, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection of foreign RBCs. Determination of the best appropriate foreign RBC challenge is therefore important when designing tests for evaluation of humoral responses. The northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) is a commonly used species for avian toxicity tests, however little is known about the relative sensitivities of its humoral responses to foreign erythrocytes. In this pilot study, we exposed adult quail to intravenous injections of 5% solutions of sheep, rat, rabbit, bovine, or chicken erythrocytes and performed antibody titers [hemagglutination assay for total immunoglobulin (Ig), IgG, and IgM] for primary and secondary responses. Although the bobwhites appeared to respond strongly to rat RBCs, high variability in responses were observed among individuals. Chicken RBCs elicited the poorest responses for both primary and secondary challenges. Sheep and bovine RBCs were adequate antigens for this test in bobwhites. We found that rabbit erythrocytes elicited the strongest responses with the least amount of variability between individuals. Rabbit RBCs, therefore, appear to be the ideal antigen for this test of the humoral response in this species.

It is stated that ventilation events in sewers are complex phenomena because of the unpredictable nature of the air exerting forces and the complex interaction between the system air space and the ambient surroundings. It mentioned several pressure-inducing events which include siphon, barometric and wind pressure, downstream air capacity reduction and drop-structure turbulence. It is revealed that temperature difference is important in a cold climate where ambient temperature is different from sewer air temperature.

Using extensive primary sources, this article examines the reassessment process and concludes that the effort was fatally flawed because King George III and his ministers failed to reevaluate the war's objectives, given the changed strategic environment after Saratoga. The resulting British military strategy suffered from an imbalance between ends, ways, and means. Thus, British leaders incurred significant risk in executing their new strategy.

Although investigated and disproven by the leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF), the rumors persisted in popular memory and ultimately stigmatized the veterans who endured neutral captivity. This essay examines the motives of some airmen who landed in Switzerland, and argues that the stigma associated with neutral captivity resulted in denials of benefits and military decorations to deserving veterans.

Although Drill Sergeant qualities have been widely portrayed in popular media, there is very little empirical research that documents the characteristics of Drill Sergeants and the impact these characteristics may have on trainees. In this study we evaluated a measure of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities and the degree to which these qualities related to mental health symptoms and job-related outcomes of trainees. Three types of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities were found from factor analyses: motivation, respect, and toughness. Using latent growth curve analyses, higher initial scores on motivation and respect, but not toughness, were associated with greater decreases in mental health symptoms over time. Further, changes in perceived Drill Sergeant qualities related to changes in depressive symptoms, unit cohesion, and citizen behaviors assessed over the course of basic combat training.

Based on past research, we hypothesized that the SA measures would be sensitive to individual (squad leader) differences, and that the frequency of specific probes would reveal differences in critical SA requirements among scenarios. Three infantry squads performed multiple trials across two different scenarios. A confederate platoon leader posed probes to squad leaders during trials and experts made ratings afterward. Results revealed squad leaders had similar responses to probes, despite differences in combat experience. Analysis of probe frequency revealed different high priority SA elements and decisions for each scenario. The SA behavior and communication ratings revealed differences among squads, which trended with experience. Measures of SA were also consistent across the test scenario as a result of similar mission types and task difficulties. We discuss the implication of our findings for future research and theory within this area.

Recently, a considerable amount of work has been published on optimal conditions for single-update placement of homogeneous sensors (same type and same measurement quality) in which the targets are either assumed perfectly known or the target location uncertainty is averaged out via the expected value of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix (FIM). We derive conditions for optimal placement of heterogeneous sensors based on maximization of the information matrix to be updated by the heterogeneous sensors from an arbitrary Gaussian prior characterizing the uncertainty about the initial target location. The heterogeneous sensors can be of the same or different types (ranging sensors, bearing-only sensors, or both). The sensors can also make, over several time steps, multiple independent measurements of different qualities. Placement strategies are derived and their performance is illustrated via simulation examples.

A brief description of the theoretical basis and risk assessment in CADET is presented. Validation comparisons between CADET predictions and field measurements of wave-induced vertical motions at Ambrose Channel, New York, are presented. Prototype ship motions were measured with a differential global positioning system in April 1998 along three 488-m-long reaches. Comparisons were made with six ships, three tankers and three containerships, during inbound and outbound transits. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field measurements reasonably well, especially considering the wave heights were relatively small during the measurement period.

Historically, sustained easterly winds from hurricanes have directed surge across Breton Sound, into the Mississippi River and against its west bank levee, allowing for surge to build and then propagate efficiently upriver and thus increase water levels past New Orleans. This case study applies a new and extensively validated basin- to channel-scale, high-resolution, unstructured-mesh ADvanced CIRCulation model to simulate a suite of historical and hypothetical storms under low to high river discharges. The results show that during hurricanes, (1) total water levels in the lower river south of Pointe à La Hache are only weakly dependent on river flow, and easterly wind-driven storm surge is generated on top of existing ambient strongly flow-dependent river stages, so the surge that propagates upriver reduces with increasing river flow; (2) natural levees and adjacent wetlands on the east and west banks in the Lower Plaquemines capture storm surge in the river, although not as effectively as the manmade levees on the west bank; and (3) the lowering of manmade levees along this Lower Plaquemines river section to their natural state, to allow storm surge to partially pass across the Mississippi River, will decrease storm surge upriver by 1 to 2 m between Pointe à La Hache and New Orleans, independent of river flow.

The cross-shore numerical model is extended to the landward zone of the wave transmission. The extended model is compared with 148 tests for a reef breakwater with a narrow crest at or above the still water level where the narrow crest was lowered by wave action. The model is also compared with an experiment on a wide-crested submerged breakwater in which the crest height increased during 20-h wave action. The damage, crest height, and wave transmission coefficient are predicted reasonably well; however, the damaged profile is not predicted accurately.

Lower Knik Arm is an ideal system for this model evaluation because of the large tide range (approximately 10 m at Anchorage) and complex geometry of the system, which results in high velocities and the formation of numerous eddies throughout the study area. One eddy of primary importance is the one generated by Cairn Point, which occurs near the Port of Anchorage. Limitations of previous modeling studies and the availability of recent field data enabled this evaluation. The AdH results were compared with field data (water surface elevations, fluxes, and velocities) collected in August of 2002 and 2006, and favorable comparisons obtained for tidal amplification and eddy generation indicate that AdH reasonably reproduces the complex hydrodynamic conditions in lower Knik Arm. Simulations were also performed to investigate the importance of eddy viscosity specification, frictional specification, and bathymetry on the generation/evolution of eddies present in the system. Upon completion of the model validation, simulations were performed with modified Cairn Point configurations to investigate the impact to the eddy generated at the port. These results illustrate the variation in eddy generation through lengthening, lowering/reducing, or raising Cairn Point.

JO - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering JF - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering J1 - Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal & Ocean Engineering PY - 2013/05// Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 139 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 182 SN - 0733950X AB - A probabilistic framework is presented for evaluation of hurricane wave and surge risk with particular emphasis on real-time automated estimation for hurricanes approaching landfall. This framework has two fundamental components. The first is the development of a surrogate model for the rapid evaluation of hurricane waves, water levels, and run-up based on a small number of parameters describing each hurricane: hurricane landfall location and heading, central pressure, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. This surrogate model is developed using a response surface methodology fed by information from hundreds of precomputed, high-resolution Simulating Waves Nearshore ( SWAN) + Advanced Circulation Model for Oceanic, Coastal and Estuarine Waters ( ADCIRC) and One-Dimensional Boussinesq Model ( BOUSS-1D) runs. For a specific set of hurricane parameters (i.e., a specific landfalling hurricane), the surrogate model is able to evaluate the maximum wave height, water level, and run-up during the storm at a cost that is more than seven orders of magnitude less than the high-fidelity models and thus meets time constraints imposed by emergency managers and decision makers. The second component of this framework is a description of the uncertainty in the parameters used to characterize the hurricane through appropriate probability models, which then leads to quantification of hurricane risk in terms of a probabilistic integral. This integral is then efficiently computed using the already established surrogate model by analyzing thousands of different scenarios (based on the aforementioned probabilistic description). This allows the rapid computation of, for example, the storm surge that might be exceeded 10% of the time based on hurricane parameters at 48 h from landfall. Finally, by leveraging the computational simplicity and efficiency of the surrogate model, a simple stand-alone PC-based risk-assessment tool is developed that allows nonexpert end users to take advantage of the full potential of the framework. The proposed framework ultimately facilitates the development of a rapid assessment tool for real-time implementation but requires a considerable upfront computational cost to produce high-fidelity model results. As an illustrative example, implementation of hurricane risk estimation for the Island of Oahu in Hawaii is presented; results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach for delivering accurate tools for real-time hurricane risk estimation that have the ability to cross over technology adoption barriers.

In this paper, the writers present two methods to facilitate blast-resistant glazing design. One of these methods is primarily restricted to government facilities while the other exists in a consensus document for public use. Both of these methods rely on laminated glass as the blast-resistant glazing material. Both methods address all facets of blast-resistant glazing design, including attachment of the glazing to the framing members and an estimate of the forces necessary for designing framing members and connections.

Military historians have written about their leadership qualities but have not ranked the best generals. We asked 10 experts in US military history to evaluate seven generals--Omar Bradley, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, George Patton, John Pershing, and Matthew Ridgway--using the analytic hierarchy process in a group setting. We developed a ratings hierarchy, and each participant scored each general. We combined individual pairwise comparisons using the geometric-mean method and a new method based on linear programming and obtained a clear, three-tier ranking of generals with George Marshall judged the best US Army general of the 20th century, closely followed by Dwight Eisenhower.

However, over time they improved to the point where they became more powerful than many of the established tools in the field. This disruption is following the well-established innovation model that was put forward by Harvard professor Clayton Christensen. Game technologies provide significant advantages in industries like training, education, communication, and data analysis. The disruptive potential of these technologies will spur the growth of new types of companies and threaten the positions of established leaders in a number of industries.

This resulted in two linear equations that provide a high degree of correlation with the data and can be used to estimate R&D investment levels for companies about which that is unknown. The first of these calculates current-year R&D based on previous-year R&D, company size, and capital expenditures. The second, much simpler model, predicts current-year R&D from previous-year R&D. This simpler model may be driven by the relatively static financial years 2002-2004 from which data were analyzed.

To investigate the source of reactive halogens in the air arriving at Barrow, Alaska, we measured BrO, an indicator of reactive halogen chemistry, and correlated its abundance with airmass histories derived from meteorological back trajectories and remotely sensed sea ice properties. The BrO abundance is found to be positively correlated to first-year sea-ice contact (R²=0.55), and essentially uncorrelated with potential frost flower (PFF) contact (R²=0.04). Assuming that PFF accurately predicts frost flowers, these data indicate that snow and ice contaminated with sea salts on first-year sea ice is a more probable bromine source than are frost flowers, for airmasses impacting Barrow, Alaska. Climate-driven changes in Arctic sea ice are likely to alter frost flower and first year sea ice prevalence. An accurate understanding of how these sea ice changes would affect the halogen chemistry of the overlying atmosphere depends upon understanding the relative roles of frost flowers and saline snow and ice surfaces as reactive bromine sources.

JO - Environmental Health Perspectives JF - Environmental Health Perspectives Y1 - 2007/02// VL - 115 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 255 EP - 261 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00916765 AB - Chemical management programs strive to protect human health and the environment by accurately identifying persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances and restricting their use in commerce. The advance of these programs is challenged by the reality that few empirical data are available for the tens of thousands of commercial substances that require evaluation. Therefore, most preliminary assessments rely on model predictions and data extrapolation. In November 2005, a workshop was held for experts from governments, industry, and academia to examine the availability and quality of in vivo fish bioconcentration and bioaccumulation data, and to propose steps to improve its prediction. The workshop focused on fish data because regulatory assessments predominantly focus on the bioconcentration of substances from water into fish, as measured using in vivo tests or predicted using computer models. In this article we review of the quantity, features, and public availability of bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biota--sediment accumulation data. The workshop revealed that there is significant overlap in the data contained within the various fish bioaccumulation data sources reviewed, and further, that no database contained all of the available fish bioaccumulation data. We believe that a majority of the available bioaccumulation data have been used in the development and testing of quantitative structure--activity relationships and computer models currently in use. Workshop recommendations included the publication of guidance on bioconcentration study quality, the combination of data from various sources to permit better access for modelers and assessors, and the review of chemical domains of existing models to identify areas for expansion.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: A prototype interface was developed to support decision making during tactical operations; a laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the capability of this interface to support a critical activity (i.e., obtaining the status of friendly combat resources).Background: Effective interface design strategies have been developed for domains that have primarily law-driven (e.g., process control) or intent-driven (e.g., information retrieval) constraints. However, design strategies for intermediate domains in which both types of constraints are equally critical, such as military command and control, have not been explored as extensively. The principles of direct perception, direct manipulation, and perception-action loops were used to develop a hybrid interface design strategy ("perception-action icons") that was incorporated into the prototype interface.Methods: A qualitative tactical simulation and an alternative interface (an experimental version of an existing U.S. Army interface) were developed. Participants used both interfaces to provide estimates of friendly combat resources for three different categories of information at three different echelon levels.Results: The results were unequivocal, indicating that the interface with perception-action icons produced significantly better performance.Conclusion: The perception-action icon design strategy was very effective in this experimental context. The potential for this design strategy to be useful for other intermediate domains is explored.Application: Actual or potential applications of this research include both specific interface design strategies for military command and control and general interface design principles for intermediate work domains.

SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: Effects of four types of automation support and two levels of automation reliability were examined. The objective was to examine the differential impact of information and decision automation and to investigate the costs of automation unreliability.Background: Research has shown that imperfect automation can lead to differential effects of stages and levels of automation on human performance.Method: Eighteen participants performed a "sensor to shooter" targeting simulation of command and control. Dependent variables included accuracy and response time of target engagement decisions, secondary task performance, and subjective ratings of mental work-load, trust, and self-confidence.Results: Compared with manual performance, reliable automation significantly reduced decision times. Unreliable automation led to greater cost in decision-making accuracy under the higher automation reliability condition for three different forms of decision automation relative to information automation. At low automation reliability, however, there was a cost in performance for both information and decision automation.Conclusion: The results are consistent with a model of human-automation interaction that requires evaluation of the different stages of information processing to which automation support can be applied.Application: If fully reliable decision automation cannot be guaranteed, designers should provide users with information automation support or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of raw data.

Mesocosms were prepared using soil contaminated with hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) at 38, 11, and 4 mg/kg, respectively, in order to evaluate removal using several alkaline materials. Alkaline application methods examined included topical, well-mixed, and aqueous. These studies were supported by microbiological and toxicological assessments. Well-mixed soil–lime systems yielded high soil pH (>12) and complete removal of TNT, RDX, and HMX from both soil and leachate by 2, 4, and 18 weeks, respectively. The pH of soil and leachate of topical application systems remained similar to the control (pH 5–6). The occurrence of RDX degradation products and anoxic leachate indicated that anaerobic biodegradation had occurred in several of the topical application mesocosms and contributed to explosive removal. The efficacy of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction in soil is indicated by the initial soil pH, and the degree of base saturation.

In the present study, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to a range of 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) concentrations (0.44-44 μmol/L [0.1-10 mg/L] and 4.4-22.0 μmol/L [1.0-5.0 mg/L] in 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively). Median lethal concentrations of 11.93 μmol/L (2.7 mg/L; 95% confidence limit [CL], 10.29-13.83 μmol/L) and 9.68 μmol/L (2.20 mg/L; 95% CL, 9.17-10.22 μmol/L) were calculated in the 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively, and median lethal body residue of 101.0 μmol/kg (95% CL, 86.0-118.7 μmol/kg) was calculated in 4-d experiments. To study bioaccumulation, fish were exposed to 4.4 μmol/L (1 mg/L) of TNT for 12 h. Rapid bioaccumulation of TNT occurred within the first 10 min of exposure (ku = 30.4 L/kg/h). Elimination of ΣTNT (molar sum of TNT and degradation products 2- and 4-aminodinitrotoluenes) was fast, with an elimination rate (ke) of 2.24/h and a short half-life (0.31 h). The bioconcentration factors determined using 6-h mean tissue and water concentrations of ΣTNT were 8.40 and 4.68 L/kg for the uptake experiment and the uptake portion of the elimination experiments, respectively. To determine the target organ for TNT in fish, juvenile fathead minnow were exposed to 2.2 μmol/L (0.5 mg/L) of [14C]TNT for 10 d. Radiolabeled compounds primarily bioaccumulated in the visceral tissues and spleen in comparison to gill, brain, muscle, and remainder tissue groups. The present study demonstrates the low bioaccumulation potential and rapid uptake of TNT in the fathead minnow.

To investigate the source of reactive halogens in the air arriving at Barrow, Alaska, we measured BrO, a marker of reactive halogen chemistry, and correlated its abundance with airmass histories derived from meteorological back trajectories and remotely sensed sea ice properties. The BrO is found to be positively correlated to first-year sea-ice contact (R²=0.55), and weakly negatively correlated to potential frost flower (PFF) contact (R²=0.04). These data indicate that snow contaminated with sea salts on first-year sea ice is a more probable bromine source than are frost flowers. Recent climate-driven changes in Arctic sea ice are likely to alter frost flower and first year sea ice prevalence, suggesting a significant change in reactive halogen abundance, which will alter the chemistry of the overlying Arctic atmosphere.

The LWG uses proven lidar technology to directly measure water surface elevation from above the water’s surface. Therefore, unlike bottom-mounted gauges, the surface elevation measurement from the LWG is independent of other hydrodynamic processes. The LWG prototype consists of four rangefinders, where each collects water surface elevation time series at a rate of 10 Hz. During the field test, ground truth data were collected concurrently with the LWG data using a biaxial current and pressure meter mounted directly beneath the LWG. Additional ground truth data were available from the existing FRF wave-gauging infrastructure. This paper describes principles of LWG operation and field experiment setup, LWG environmental and technical constraints, and LWG performance in measuring spectral wave parameters.

JO - Freshwater Biology JF - Freshwater Biology Y1 - 2006/11// VL - 51 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2072 EP - 2086 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00465070 AB - 1. Floods are major disturbances to stream ecosystems that can kill or displace organisms and modify habitats. Many studies have reported changes in fish assemblages after a single flood, but few studies have evaluated the importance of timing and intensity of floods on long-term fish assemblage dynamics. 2. We used a 10-year dataset to evaluate the effects of floods on fishes in Kings Creek, an intermittent prairie stream in north-eastern, Kansas, U.S.A. Samples were collected seasonally at two perennial headwater sites (1995–2005) and one perennial downstream flowing site (1997–2005) allowing us to evaluate the effects of floods at different locations within a watershed. In addition, four surveys during 2003 and 2004 sampled 3–5 km of stream between the long-term study sites to evaluate the use of intermittent reaches of this stream. 3. Because of higher discharge and bed scouring at the downstream site, we predicted that the fish assemblage would have lowered species richness and abundance following floods. In contrast, we expected increased species richness and abundance at headwater sites because floods increase stream connectivity and create the potential for colonisation from downstream reaches. 4. Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) was used to select among candidate regression models that predicted species richness and abundance based on Julian date, time since floods, season and physical habitat at each site. At the downstream site, AIC weightings suggested Julian date was the best predictor of fish assemblage structure, but no model explained >16% of the variation in species richness or community structure. Variation explained by Julian date was primarily attributed to a long-term pattern of declining abundance of common species. At the headwater sites, there was not a single candidate model selected to predict total species abundance and assemblage structure. AIC weightings suggested variation in assemblage structure was associated with either Julian date or local habitat characteristics. 5. Fishes rapidly colonised isolated or dry habitats following floods. This was evidenced by the occurrence of fishes in intermittent reaches and the positive association between maximum daily discharge and colonisation events at both headwater sites. 6. Our study suggests floods allow dispersal into intermittent habitats with little or no downstream displacement of fishes. Movement of fishes among habitats during flooding highlights the importance of maintaining connectivity of stream networks of low to medium order prairie streams.

The presence of particulate explosives and co-contaminants, and the concentration of soil total organic carbon (TOC) on the alkaline hydrolysis reaction were studied. Trinitrobenzene (TNB) and dinitrobenzene (DNB) were sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis under these experimental conditions. The TNT metabolites, 2A- and 4A-DNT, were also removed, although more slowly than the parent compound, and the reaction required a higher pH (>12). RDX retention in the soil was proportional to the TOC content. The degradation intermediates of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction partitioned in the soil matrix in a manner similar to the parent. Solid particles of explosives are also degraded by alkaline hydrolysis. RDX and HMX exhibited 74 and 57% removal, respectively, in 21 days. TNT, as whole and broken grains, showed 83 and 99.9% removal in 21 days, respectively. The propellants, 2,4- and 2,6-DNT, were insensitive to alkaline hydrolysis. Alkaline hydrolysis is an inexpensive and effective means of reducing the varied explosives contamination.

The prescriptive model chooses monthly reservoir releases and storage levels that maximize the overall benefit of the system. Solution of the model relies on penalty functions that relate value (either economic or noneconomic) to storage levels, releases, and flows in the system. Penalty functions are developed for the multiple purposes of the system, including water supply, navigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. Patterns observed in the model results can serve as starting points to develop improved operating rules for the existing system, and the model can also help evaluate the potential benefits of structural changes to the system.

Three pump-and-treat facilities operated by the DoD were selected for inclusion in the project. Three optimization formulations were developed for each facility and solved independently by three modeling teams (two using simulation-optimization algorithms and one applying trial-and-error methods). The results clearly indicate that simulation-optimization methods are able to search a wider range of well locations and flow rates and identify better solutions than current trial-and-error approaches. The solutions found were 5% to 50% better than those obtained using trial-and-error (measured using optimal objective function values), with an average improvement of ∼20%. This translated into potential savings ranging from $600,000 to $10,000,000 for the three sites. In nearly all cases, the cost savings easily outweighed the costs of the optimization. To reduce computational requirements, in some cases the simulation-optimization groups applied multiple mathematical algorithms, solved a series of modified subproblems, and/or fit “meta-models” such as neural networks or regression models to replace time-consuming simulation models in the optimization algorithm. The optimal solutions did not account for the uncertainties inherent in the modeling process. This project illustrates that transport simulation-optimization techniques are practical for real problems. However, applying the techniques in an efficient manner requires expertise and should involve iterative modification to the formulations based on interim results.

SN - 00496979 AB - Picric acid is an explosive historically produced and disposed at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) in northern Louisiana. The potential for natural degradation of picric acid was investigated by creating picric-acid slurries with four LAAP sediments of variable composition and monitoring for up to 98 days. The concentrations of picric acid decreased rapidly in all slurries during the first day, attributed to adsorption, followed by slower decreases in some samples due to degradation. Degradation in unsterilized slurries was nearly complete within 80 days for two of the four sediments. Increases in nitrite and nitrate concentration over time were proportional to the loss of picric acid and indicate that at least two of the three nitrite groups were removed from the picric acid molecule. The absence of significant concentrations of compounds with a mass greater than 100 amu in the final solutions suggests that all three nitrite groups were removed. No correlation was found between the degree of degradation and grain size, clay content, organic content, carbonate content, or a suite of element concentrations in the sediment. Degradation in sterilized samples was minimal for all sediment slurries, indicating microbial activity as the primary mechanism of degradation.

Here we include real energy prices and fuel shares in models that describe energy use and carbon emissions. We test if these models show a turning point in OECD countries. Results indicate that including energy prices eliminates statistical support for a turning point and suggest that the relationship between income and both energy use and carbon emissions is represented most accurately by diminishing returns. These results imply that economic growth per se will not reduce energy use or emissions that cause global climate change.

Appropriate use of such models for management purposes, however, requires understanding inherent biases that may exist in these models. Through a series of simulations, which compared predictions of risk of decline of scalar and matrix-based models, we examined whether discrepancies may arise from different dynamics displayed due to age structure and generation time. We also examined scalar and matrix-based population models of 18 real populations for potential patterns of bias in population viability estimates. In the simulation study, precautionary bias (i.e., overestimating risks of decline) of scalar models increased as a function of generation time. Models of real populations showed poor fit between scalar and matrix-based models, with scalar models predicting significantly higher risks of decline on average. The strength of this bias was not correlated with generation time, suggesting that additional sources of bias may be masking this relationship. Scalar models can be useful for screening-level assessments, which should in general be precautionary, but the potential shortfalls of these models should be considered before using them as a basis for management decisions.

Sin embargo, el uso apropiado de tales modelos con fines de gestión requiere entender los sesgos inherentes que pueden existir en estos modelos. A través de una serie de simulaciones, que comparaban predicciones del riesgo de extinción en modelos escalares y matriciales, examinamos si las discrepancias se pueden originar de las diferentes dinámicas mostradas debido a la estructura de edades y el tiempo generacional. También examinamos modelos escalares y matriciales de 18 poblaciones reales para determinar patrones potenciales de sesgos en las estimaciones de viabilidad poblacional. En el estudio simulado, el sesgo preventivo (i.e., sobreestimación de los riesgos de declinación) de los modelos preventivos incrementó en función del tiempo generacional. El ajuste entre los modelos escalares y matriciales de las poblaciones reales fue pobre, los modelos escalares predijeron significativamente mayor riesgo de extinción en promedio. La robustez de este sesgo no se correlacionó con el tiempo generacional, lo que sugiere que esta relación puede estar enmascarada por fuentes adicionales de sesgo. Los modelos escalares pueden ser útiles para evaluaciones a nivel diagnóstico, que en general deberían ser preventivas, pero las deficiencias potenciales de estos modelos deberían ser consideradas antes de utilizarlos como base para decisiones de manejo.

This study investigated breath by breath inspiratory peak flow rate, minute ventilation, and instantaneous flow rates of eight young, healthy volunteers walking on a treadmill at 80-85% of maximal aerobic capacity until exhaustion while wearing an air-purifying respirator with one of eight combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. An analysis of variance was performed to identify differences among the eight conditions. Scheffe's post hoc analysis indicated which means differed. The group of conditions with the highest average value for each parameter was identified and considered to represent a worst-case scenario. Data was reported for these conditions. A Gaussian distribution was fit to the data and the 99.9% probability levels determined. The 99.9% probability level for the peak and instantaneous flow rates were 374 L/min and 336 L/min, respectively. The minute ventilation distribution was not Gaussian. Less than 1% of the recorded minute ventilations exceeded 135 L/min. Instantaneous flow rates exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's respirator test standards of 64, 85, and 100 L/min constant flow 91%, 87%, and 82% of the time, respectively. The recorded minute ventilations exceeded the 40 L/min minute ventilation test standard (for tests with a sinusoidal flow pattern) 100% of the time. This study showed that young, healthy respirator wearers generated peak flow rates, minute ventilations, and instantaneous flow rates that consistently exceeded current test standards. Their flow rates should be higher than those of a respirator wearer performing occupational work and could be considered upper limits. Testing respirators and respirator cartridges using a sinusoidal breathing pattern with a minute ventilation of 135 L/min (peak flow rate approximately 424 L/min) would encompass 99% of the recorded minute ventilations and 99.9% of the predicted peak and instantaneous flow rates from this study and would more accurately reflect human respiration during strenuous exercise.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2006/09//Sep/Oct2006 VL - 25 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 378 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely used as an explosive in U.S. army munitions formulations since World War II. Two-year carcinogenicity studies revealed RDX to be noncarcinogenic in two strains of rats, but a 2-year carcinogenicity study in B6C3F1 mice revealed an increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in females. Based on results of the study in B6C3F1 mice, RDX has been classified as a possible carcinogen. The authors reevaluated the archived histological sections from the B6C3F1 mouse study, using current histopathologic diagnostic criteria and interpretations. The earlier evaluation showed a statistically significant increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma/carcinoma in female mice from the three highest dose groups (7, 35, and 175/100 mg/kg/day). The revaluation yielded a slightly lower incidence at each of the dose levels in female mice. The reduced number of hepatocellular neoplasms was largely due to reclassification of hepatocellular adenomas as foci of cytoplasmic alteration, in compliance with current diagnostic criteria. The reevaluation was reviewed by a pathology working group (PWG), which arrived at a consensus classification of each lesion. Based on the consensus diagnoses of the PWG, only one female group (35 mg/kg/day) showed a significant increase when compared to controls. The incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms for all groups, including the 35 mg/kg/day group, was within the reported incidence range for spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasms in female B6C3F1 mice. The increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in female mice given RDX at 35 mg/kg/day was interpreted as equivocal evidence of a carcinogenic effect.

Several possible reasons people live in hazardous areas are presented. However, this article argues that benefits often outweigh the occasional damage costs. Since they do, such areas become developed and hence more economically valuable. If analysis of policies for developing lands on hazardous sites and providing protection against the hazards consider the benefits obtained from such development when the hazards are not occurring, they may well support that development, together with increased hazard protection and mitigation measures.

SN - 07490208 AB - The potential biological effects of elevated suspended sediment concentrations caused by beach nourishment activities are a commonly cited environmental concern; however, the spatial scope and magnitude of increases in total suspended sediment (TSS) levels are infrequently monitored. In this study, suspended sediment conditions were monitored for two nourishment events on the northern coast of New Jersey in 1997 and 1998. Samples were taken in the swash, surf, and nearshore zones near the discharge pipe and at reference areas both north and south of the fill sites. Sampling was also conducted after two major storms passed through the area in September 1999 (the remnants of Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd). For both nourishment events, swash zone suspended sediment concentrations were significantly higher at sites of active discharge and recently nourished stations than at unnourished stations; however, no differences in TSS concentrations were detected between nourished and unnourished stations in the surf zone and nearshore habitats during either nourishment event. Maximum bottom surf zone and nearshore TSS concentrations related to nourishment activities were 64 mg/L and 34 mg/L, respectively, compared with respective maximum bottom concentrations of 81 mg/L and 425 mg/L after storms. Background maximum bottom TSS concentrations in the surf and nearshore zones on unnourished portions of the beach were less than 20 mg/L. Elevated TSS concentrations associated with the active beach nourishment site were limited to within 400 m of the discharge pipe in the swash zone. More direct monitoring of TSS concentrations is needed to better understand the potential biological effects of beach nourishment activities.

Little is known about the manner in which frazil forms, how it is drawn down to the depths at which the intakes are located, and how to prevent frazil from fully blocking intakes. This paper presents an overview of frazil formation and intake blockage in the Great Lakes. The paper first reviews the current understanding of the processes of frazil formation and intake blockage, and it adds new insight regarding the processes. It then describes the problem by way of case-study examples of frazil blockage of two intakes in Lake Michigan. Based on the case studies, and experiences with other intakes in the Great Lakes, the paper outlines methods for monitoring and mitigating frazil blockage. Two options are recommended: monitoring rate of water level drop in the pump forebay onshore from the intake, and rate of headloss increase between the intake and the forebay. Laboratory modeling of intake blockage is then presented.

Development of an automatic adaptive procedure will rely on estimating and/or controlling computational error by adapting the mesh parameters with respect to a particular measurement. Since a primary source of error in a discrete approximation of the shallow-water equations is inadequate mesh resolution, an adaptive mesh can be an efficient approach to increase accuracy. This paper introduces a simple indicator for the shallow water equations that measures the error in a norm of mass conservation to determine which elements require refinement or coarsening. The resulting adaptive grid gives results comparable to a much higher resolution (uniformly refined) mesh with less computational expense.

Endemic Bear Lake whitefish (Prosopium abyssicola) and Bonneville whitefish (Prosopium spilonotus) are benthic, morphologically similar, and closely related, yet the extent of differential resource use remains poorly understood. To determine the ecological differences between these two species, we studied their seasonal distribution and diet in Bear Lake, Utah–Idaho. We used bottom-set gill nets to examine how catch of each species of whitefish varied in relation to depth and season (spring and summer). In both spring and summer, Bonneville whitefish dominated the shallower depths (5–30 m), whereas Bear Lake whitefish dominated the deeper depths (45–55 m). Bonneville whitefish ate a variety of benthic invertebrates, but mostly Chironomidae, whereas Bear Lake whitefish fed mostly on Ostracoda. These data describe a closely related morphologically similar, yet ecologically distinct group of whitefish in an ecoregion completely different from those studied before. These results indicated that each species has a very different role in the Bear Lake ecosystem. To conserve this unique fish assemblage, both shallow and deepwater habitats need to be protected.

Les ménominis du lac Bear (Prosopium abyssicola) et les ménominis de Bonneville (Prosopium spilonotus) sont des poissons endémiques, benthiques, morphologiquement semblables et fortement apparentés; on connaît néanmoins mal leur utilisation différentielle des ressources. Afin de déterminer les différences écologiques entre ces deux espèces, nous avons étudié leur répartition saisonnière et leur régime alimentaire au lac Bear, Utah–Idaho. Des filets maillants installés sur le fond ont servi à montrer comment les captures de chacune des deux espèces de ménominis varient en fonction de la profondeur et de la saison (printemps et été). Tant au printemps qu'en été, les ménominis de Bonneville prédominent dans les profondeurs plus faibles (5–30 m), alors que les ménominis du lac Bear sont plus nombreux dans les eaux plus profondes (45–55 m). Les ménominis de Bonneville se nourrissent d'une variété d'invertébrés benthiques, mais surtout de Chironomidae, alors que les ménominis du lac Bear consomment principalement des Ostracoda. Ces données décrivent un groupe de ménominis proches parents à morphologie semblable, mais à écologie distincte, dans une écorégion totalement différente de celles étudiées antérieurement. Nos résultats indiquent que chacune des espèces a un rôle bien distinct dans l'écosystème du lac Bear. Les habitats, tant de faible que de grande profondeur, doivent donc être protégés afin de conserver cette association exceptionnelle de poissons.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This compound reacts with glutathione (GSH) and forms GSH-SM conjugates that appear to be excreted through the mercapturic acid pathway in mammals. The question of whether glutathione-S-transferases (GST) are involved in enzymatic formation of these conjugates remains unresolved. In previous studies, ethacrynic acid (EAA), a putative inhibitor of this transferase, and oltipraz, a known inducer,were ineffective in modulating this enzyme in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) so this hypothesis could not be tested. Higher levels of intracellular GSH appeared to be solely responsible for resistance of EAA-pretreated cells to SM. A better inducer of GST was needed to test whether this enzyme could be used to modify cytotoxicity following SM exposure. D,L-sulforaphane (DLS), a compound from broccoli extract known to be a potent inducer of this enzyme, was tested for GST induction in cultured NHEK. The enzyme levels increased optimally (40%) in these cells within 4 hours using 0.5 μg DLS/mL over a 48 hour incubation period. When the drug was removed by washing, and pretreated cells were challenged with 0–200 μM SM, there was a 10%–15% increase in survival at 24 hours compared with non-pretreated SM controls. This protective effect due to increased levels of GST was abolished at 300 μM sulfur mustard, where there was no difference in survival between pretreated and non-pretreated controls. Glutathione levels were also assessed and showed no increase at 4 hours in cultured NHEK with DLS pretreatment and appear not to be responsible for this protection against SM.

Because a single lidar measures radial winds, that is, the dot product of the wind vector with a unit vector pointing along the lidar beam, the data from two lidars viewing from different directions can be combined to produce horizontal velocity vectors. Analysis programs were written to retrieve horizontal velocity vectors for a series of eight vertical profiles to the southwest (approximately upwind) of the downtown urban core. This technique has the following unique characteristics that make it well suited for urban meteorology studies: 1) continuous vertical profiles from far above the building heights to down into the street canyons can be measured and 2) the profiles can extend to very near the ground without a loss of accuracy (assuming clear lines of site). The period of time analyzed spans from 1400 to 1730 UTC (0900–1230 local time) on 9 July 2003. Both shear and convective heating are important during the development of the boundary layer over this period of time. Differences in 10- and 20-min mean profiles show the effect of the variation of position approaching the urban core; for example, several hundred meters above the ground, velocity magnitudes for profiles separated by less than a kilometer may differ by over 1 m s-1. The effect of the increased roughness associated with the central business district can be seen as a deceleration of the velocity and a turning of the wind direction as the flow approaches the core, up to approximately 10° for some profiles. This effect is evident below 400–500 m both in the wind directions and magnitudes. Recommendations are given for how this type of data can be used in a comparison with model data.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2006/08// VL - 92 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 560 EP - 577 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Although microarray technology has emerged as a powerful tool to explore expression levels of thousands of genes or even complete genomes after exposure to toxicants, the functional interpretation of microarray data sets still represents a time-consuming and challenging task. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway mapping have both been shown to be powerful approaches to generate a global view of biological processes and cellular components impacted by toxicants. However, current methods only allow for comparisons across two experimental settings at one particular time point. In addition, the resulting annotations are presented in extensive gene lists with minimal or limited quantitative information, data that are crucial in the application of toxicogenomic data for risk assessment. To facilitate quantitative interpretation of dose- or time-dependent genomic data, we propose to use combined average raw gene expression values (e.g., intensity or ratio) of genes associated with specific functional categories derived from the GO database. We developed an extended program (GO-Quant) to extract quantitative gene expression values and to calculate the average intensity or ratio for those significantly altered by functional gene category based on MAPPFinder results. To demonstrate its application, we applied this approach to a previously published dose- and time-dependent toxicogenomic data set (J. F. Dillman et al., 2005, Chem. Res. Toxicol. 18, 28–34). Our results indicate that the above systems approach can describe quantitatively the degree to which functional gene systems change across dose or time. Additionally, this approach provides a robust measurement to illustrate results compared to single-gene assessments and enables the user to calculate the corresponding ED50 for each specific functional GO term, important for risk assessment.

RDX degradation activity was maintained for more than a year with only the addition of RDX. We observed a steady increase in the protein concentration of the culture from 4.8 μg mL−1 to more than 24.4 μg mL−1, a >400% increase. There was only a slight increase in protein in the RDX unamended control bottles containing live culture, increasing from 4.8 μg mL−1 to 7.8 μg mL−1. Radiolabeled 14C-RDX confirmed mineralization of the cyclic nitramine to 14CO2. After 164 days, 35% of the radiolabel was recovered as 14CO2. This is the first report demonstrating the mineralization of RDX when it serves as a growth substrate for a mixed culture.

The Mathematical Model of Pavement Performance is a model designed for pavement deterioration prediction and was successfully used for seasonal deterioration modeling because of its flexibility in defining the pavement structure, properties, and seasonal impact. However, these types of models are designed for highways and are somewhat limited in soils characterization and manipulation of the forces at the road–tire interface. Therefore, a three-dimensional dynamic finite-element model of a wheel rolling over soil was applied to simulate local vehicle traffic on a secondary unpaved road. These simulations were used to study the effects of vehicle speed, load, suspension system, wheel torque, and wheel slip on rutting and washboard formation. Modeling results are compared to field measurements and observations.

The site covered 20 acres, too large to cost-effectively characterize using convention grid sampling techniques. As an alternative, a study was conducted using a hand-held metal detector to locate the bullet impact areas. The metal detector chosen, a Garrett Graphic Target Imaging™ (GTI) 2500, has an LCD screen, which provides the user information on the potential size and depth of the object causing the signal. A two-man team performed the study and bullet detection was confirmed by excavation. The metal detector proved effective at finding .45 caliber bullets. Three impact areas were successfully identified and marked using a global positioning system (GPS). The metal detecting strategy saved substantial sampling time and over $35,000.00 by decreasing the sampling area by 93 percent.

SN - 00068314 AB - Here, we contribute to the continuing development of the quasi-wavelet (QW) model of turbulence that is currently being used in simulations of sound propagation and scattering in the turbulent atmosphere. We show that a QW model of temperature fluctuations exists for any physically reasonable temperature spectrum of isotropic homogeneous turbulence, including the widely used von Kármán spectrum. We derive a simple formula for the QW shape that reproduces a given spectrum exactly in the energy, transition, and inertial subranges. We also show that simple QW shapes can be normalized to yield an analytic expression for a temperature spectrum that is fairly close to any given spectrum. As an example, we match the Gaussian QW model to the von Kármán spectrum as closely as possible, and find remarkably good agreement in all subranges including the dissipation subrange. We also derive formulae for the variance and kurtosis associated with the QW model, and show how the latter depends on the QW packing fraction and size distribution. We also illustrate how the visual appearance of several QW-simulated temperature fluctuation fields depends on the QW packing fraction, size distribution, and kurtosis.

A BBN is developed that integrates sensor data with other validating evidence of contamination scenarios. This network is used to graphically express the causal relationships between events such as operational changes or a true contaminant release and consequent observable evidence in an example distribution system. In the BBN methodology proposed here, multiple computer simulations of contaminant transport are used to estimate the prior probabilities of a positive sensor detection. These simulations are run over multiple combinations of possible source locations and initial mass injections for a conservative solute. This approach provides insight into the effect of uncertainties in source mass and location on the detection probability of the sensors. In addition, the simulations identify the upstream nodes that are more likely to result in positive detections. The BBN incorporates the probabilities that result from these simulations, and the network is updated to reflect three demonstration scenarios—a false positive and two true positive sensor detections.

SN - 07490208 AB - A critical review is presented on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal overwash. Overwash and overwash deposits (washover) accompanying hurricanes and severe storms can devastate coastal communities and habitat, but in many areas these processes are essential for maintaining the integrity of barrier islands while creating new habitat. This review covers general studies of overwash processes, studies from a geological perspective, physical modeling, field studies including measurements of washovers and related hydraulics, and the state of numerical modeling capability to predict overwash. Although significant literature exists describing individual overwash events and locations experiencing frequent overwash, complete hydrodynamic and morphologic documentation of an overwash event is lacking. A limited number of algorithms or models exist to quantify overwash occurrence, deposited sand volume, and upper beach profile evolution. Existing models of overwash occurrence and one-dimensional beach profile evolution have been shown to perform successfully against available data, and areas of improvement are identified. Models must be made capable of simulating the various washover morphologies that have been produced by different hydrodynamics, overwash spreading based on dune topography, friction and percolation, and interaction between swash bores. Comprehensive laboratory and field data sets to achieve these aims are still lacking.

JO - Marine Biology JF - Marine Biology Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 149 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 899 EP - 913 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00253162 AB - Genetic surveys of reef fishes have revealed high population connectivity within ocean basins, consistent with the assumption that pelagic larvae disperse long distances by oceanic currents. However, several recent studies have demonstrated that larval retention and self-recruitment may be higher than previously expected. To assess connectivity in tropical reef fishes, we contribute range-wide mtDNA surveys of two Atlantic squirrelfishes (family Holocentridae). The blackbar soldierfish, Myripristis jacobus, has a pelagic juvenile phase of about 58 days, compared to about 71 days (~22% longer) in the longjaw squirrelfish, Holocentrus ascensionis. If the pelagic duration is guiding dispersal ability, M. jacobus should have greater population genetic structure than H. ascensionis. In comparisons of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences from 69 M. jacobus (744 bp) and 101 H. ascensionis (769 bp), both species exhibited a large number of closely related haplotypes ( h=0.781 and 0.974, π=0.003 and 0.006, respectively), indicating late Pleistocene coalescence of mtDNA lineages. Contrary to the prediction based on pelagic duration, M. jacobus has much less population structure (φST=0.008, P=0.228) than H. ascensionis (φST=0.091, P<0.001). Significant population partitions in H. ascensionis were observed between eastern, central and western Atlantic, and between Brazil and the Caribbean in the western Atlantic. These results, in combination with the findings from 13 codistributed species, indicate that pelagic larval duration is a poor predictor of population genetic structure in Atlantic reef fishes. A key to understanding this disparity may be the evolutionary depth among corresponding taxonomic groups of “reef fishes”, which extends back to the mid-Cretaceous and encompasses enormous diversity in ecology and life history. We should not expect a simple relationship between pelagic larval duration and genetic connectivity, among lineages that diverged 50–100 million years ago.

SN - 01757598 AB - Antimicrobial peptides are part of the innate immune system of vertebrates and invertebrates. They are active against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Currently, most antimicrobial peptides are extracted from host organisms or produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli is a tool for greater production yields at a decreased cost and reduces the use of hazardous materials. We have constructed a concatamer of indolicidin and successfully expressed a fusion product with thioredoxin in E. coli BL21DE3. Codons for methionine residues flanking individual indolicidin genes were incorporated for cyanogen bromide cleavage of the fusion protein and liberation of active monomeric indolicidin. Peptide yields of 150 μg/l monomeric indolicidin were achieved in this first report of recombinant production of indolicidin with demonstrated antimicrobial activity.

SN - 10928758 AB - Removal of turbidity, phytoplankton, and zooplankton from ballast water with waste-tire-made crumb rubber filtration was evaluated in this study. The influences of various design, operational, and water quality parameters (filter depth, media size, filtration rate, temperature, turbidity, running time, etc.) on filtration performance were investigated. Statistical approaches were used to develop empirical models, including a head loss model which partially resembles the Kozeny equation, to evaluate these factors. Regression models, validated with data from the field study, were used for predicting the influence of operational parameters on crumb rubber filtration. Sensitivity analyses of the significance of each factor were conducted. Results showed that media size played a very important role in the removal of suspended matter, while temperature, filter depth, influent turbidity, and running time did not have a significant influence. Head loss was most affected by filtration rate and media size. These results indicated that the behaviors of the crumb rubber filtration for ballast water treatment cannot be described by the theories and models for conventional granular media filtration without modification.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 45 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 702 EP - 720 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 15588424 AB - A revised Bayesian algorithm for estimating surface rain rate, convective rain proportion, and latent heating profiles from satellite-borne passive microwave radiometer observations over ocean backgrounds is described. The algorithm searches a large database of cloud-radiative model simulations to find cloud profiles that are radiatively consistent with a given set of microwave radiance measurements. The properties of these radiatively consistent profiles are then composited to obtain best estimates of the observed properties. The revised algorithm is supported by an expanded and more physically consistent database of cloud-radiative model simulations. The algorithm also features a better quantification of the convective and nonconvective contributions to total rainfall, a new geographic database, and an improved representation of background radiances in rain-free regions. Bias and random error estimates are derived from applications of the algorithm to synthetic radiance data, based upon a subset of cloud-resolving model simulations, and from the Bayesian formulation itself. Synthetic rain-rate and latent heating estimates exhibit a trend of high (low) bias for low (high) retrieved values. The Bayesian estimates of random error are propagated to represent errors at coarser time and space resolutions, based upon applications of the algorithm to TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) data. Errors in TMI instantaneous rain-rate estimates at 0.5°-resolution range from approximately 50% at 1 mm h-1 to 20% at 14 mm h-1. Errors in collocated spaceborne radar rain-rate estimates are roughly 50%–80% of the TMI errors at this resolution. The estimated algorithm random error in TMI rain rates at monthly, 2.5° resolution is relatively small (less than 6% at 5 mm day-1) in comparison with the random error resulting from infrequent satellite temporal sampling (8%–35% at the same rain rate). Percentage errors resulting from sampling decrease with increasing rain rate, and sampling errors in latent heating rates follow the same trend. Averaging over 3 months reduces sampling errors in rain rates to 6%–15% at 5 mm day-1, with proportionate reductions in latent heating sampling errors.

During the first determination, the monitor had an RA of 25% compared with ASTM Method D6784-02 (Ontario Hydro Method). However, the Ontario Hydro Method performed poorly, because the mercury concentrations were near the detection limit of the reference method. The mercury in this exhaust stream was primarily elemental. The second test was performed at a U.S. Army boiler against EPA Reference Method 29. Mercury and arsenic were spiked because of expected low mercury concentrations. The monitor had an RA of 16% for arsenic and 17% for mercury, meeting RA requirements of EPA Performance Specification 12a. The results suggest that the sampling stream contained significant percentages of both elemental and oxidized mercury. The monitor was successful at measuring total mercury in particulate and vapor forms.

In the first instance, the slotted tube is used to represent a single fracture intersected by an uncased well. In the second instance, the slotted tube is used to represent a multislot well screen within a porous medium. In both cases, the scanning colloidal borescope flowmeter (SCBFM) measures ground water velocity within the well by imaging colloids traveling through a well to measure their speed and direction. Measurements are compared against model simulations. For the case of a slotted tube representing a single fracture, SCBFM and model results agree with respect to the flow direction and to within a factor of 1.5 for the speed near the well’s center. Model and experimental agreement lend confidence that for an uncased well drilled in a fractured-rock medium, a calibrated SCBFM could be used to identify and quantify flowing features. Next, the SCBFM was deployed in a four-column multislotted casing with slots aligned with the flow direction. Another numerical model was developed to estimate the flow field within this well screen to evaluate the potential usefulness of employing the SCBFM in a screened well to estimate flow speed and direction in the surrounding porous medium. Results indicate that if the slots are not aligned with the flow, the SCBFM may only provide order-of-magnitude speed measurements and direction measurements with an uncertainty of approximately ±25°.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 25 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1368 EP - 1375 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Scientifically based ecological soil-screening levels are needed to identify concentrations of contaminant energetic materials (EMs) in soil that present an acceptable ecological risk at a wide range of military installations. Insufficient information regarding the toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) to soil invertebrates necessitated toxicity testing. We adapted the standardized Enchytraeid Reproduction Test (International Standardization Organization 16387:2003) and selected Enchytraeus crypticus for these studies. Tests were conducted in Sassafras sandy loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of nitroaromatic EMs. Weathering and aging procedures for EMs amended to test soil were incorporated into the study design to produce toxicity data that better reflect the soil exposure conditions in the field compared with toxicity in freshly amended soils. This included exposing hydrated, EM-amended soils in open glass containers in the greenhouse to alternating wetting and drying cycles. Definitive tests established that the order of EM toxicity to E. crypticus based on the median effect concentration values for juvenile production in either freshly amended or weathered and aged treatments was (from the greatest to least toxicity) TNB > 2,4-DNT > 2,6-DNT. Toxicity to E. crypticus juvenile production was significantly increased in 2,6-DNT weathered and aged soil treatments compared with toxicity in freshly amended soil, based on 95% confidence intervals. This result shows that future investigations should include a weathering and aging component to generate toxicity data that provide more complete information regarding ecotoxicological effects of energetic contaminants in soil.

Because perchlorate is biodegradable, a column study was conducted investigating the feasibility of in situ biodegradation of perchlorate using acetate as an organic substrate, which was necessary to stimulate biodegradation of perchlorate. Degradation of the perchlorate was rapid, with a minimal lag phase, once acetate was added to the column. By 72 h, complete removal of the perchlorate occurred (from 10 to <0.05 mg·L-1) within the first 15 cm of the column. The column was then allowed to reach steady-state degradation with an influent perchlorate concentration of 50 mg·L-1 and an influent acetate concentration of 100 mg·L-1. The perchlorate was removed in the first 7.5 cm of the column. Then, the acetate was removed. This study indicated that, although acetate is needed to stimulate perchlorate removal, residual activity remains as the acetate is removed, retarding the decline in performance. Upon the reintroduction of 10 mg·L-1 of acetate in the influent, rapid removal of perchlorate was quickly reestablished. Steady-state operation was compared at three loading rates. In each case, the perchlorate was degraded below 0.05 mg·L-1 within the first 7.5 cm of the column. Volumetric degradation rates for perchlorate were as high as 102.6 g·m-3·day-1, and the rate was completely dependent on the concentration for the loading rate tested. The column effluent was tested using analytical techniques with a method detection limit of 1 μg·L-1. For each loading, the effluent, on average, met the California action level of 6 μg·L-1.

All the carbon sources (acetate, ethanol, and soluble starch) studied achieved the necessary reducing conditions conducive for RDX biodegradation; however, only the addition of acetate did not exhibit any toxic effects. Lower temperatures significantly reduced the biological activity of an RDX-degrading mixed culture. The first-order biodegradation rate coefficients for RDX at 15, 10, and 5°C were 3.72, 2.35, and 1.46 per day, respectively. The calculated activation energy for RDX was 63.5 kJ/mol. Columns with acetate as the sole electron donor achieved 22–46% mineralization of initial radiocarbon to 14CO2, as compared to less than 5% in columns with no carbon source. Low sulfate (100 mg/L) levels temporarily delayed the onset of RDX biotransformation, while low nitrate (100 mg/L) levels drastically reduced the first-order biodegradation rate coefficient from 6.61 per day, obtained in the absence of nitrate, to 1.37 per day. High nitrate levels (500 mg/L) initially halted RDX removal completely, and significantly reduced the rate of RDX biotransformation to 0.48 per day with noticeable levels of untreated RDX in the effluent stream. Based on these findings a full-scale field demonstration of biologically active zone enhancement for RDX treatment in aquifers was implemented at the former Nebraska Ordnance plant in Mead, Neb., using acetate as a readily available carbon source.

In addition to its size being as small as 4 cm in channel width, the vertical scale distortion up to 20, Froude number exaggeration up to 3.7, and no correspondence of stage in model and prototype, place the micromodel in a category by itself. The writer was assigned to evaluate the micromodel’s capabilities and limitations to ensure proper application. A portion of this evaluation documents the deviation of the micromodel from similarity considerations used in previous movable bed models. The primary basis for this evaluation is the comparison of the micromodel to the prototype. The writer looked for comparisons that had (1) a reasonable calibration of the micromodel and (2) about the same river engineering structures constructed in the prototype that were tested in the micromodel and (3) a prediction by the micromodel of the approximate trends in the prototype. Evaluation of these comparisons shows a lack of predictive capability by the micromodel. Differences in micromodel and prototype likely result from uncertainty in prototype data and the large relaxations in similitude. Based on the lack of predictive evidence, the micromodel should be limited to demonstration, education, and communication for which it has been useful and should be of value to the profession.

However, it is less clear as to how various combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance affect user performance. The present study investigated the performance of 11 individuals during constant load, demanding work to exhaustion while wearing respirators with eight different combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. Exercise performance time, performance rating, minute volume, and peak inspiratory and expiratory airflow were recorded at the end of each test trial, and independent correlations with inhalation resistance and exhalation resistance were assessed. The combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances were quantified as the total external work of breathing (WOBtot) and correlations between the test variables and WOBtot were also examined. Significantly linear decreases in performance were found with increased inhalation resistances independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001) and with increased WOBtot (R2 =0.92; p<0.001). Performance also decreased with increased exhalation resistance but no significant relationships were found. Minute volume decreased linearly with increased inhalation resistance independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001), but the linear decrease observed between minute volume and WOBtot was weak (R2 =0.36; p<0.05). These findings suggest that WOBtot serves as a reliable estimate of the combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances on user performance during hard work, but that inhalation resistance alone serves as a better predictor of ventilation during respirator wear.

JO - Journal of Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2006/04// VL - 132 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 505 EP - 514 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339372 AB - Capping is a common remediation technology for the containment/stabilization of contaminated sediments. During capping activities, clean material is commonly released from a barge at the water surface and falls through the water column to the sediment surface, providing an uncontaminated surface sediment layer. Little information exists on the potential release of in situ contaminated sediments during and after capping operations. This paper focuses on the measured release of contaminants during capping events at Boston Harbor, Mass. (confined aquatic disposal cells for contaminated sediment) and Eagle Harbor, Wash. (creosote-contaminated sediment from a wood treating facility). The water column was sampled during capping events to evaluate whether cap placement resulted in the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)- or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-contaminated sediments at Boston Harbor, or PAH-contaminated sediments at Eagle Harbor. Though results at both sites indicated some contaminant resuspension during capping operations, in general contaminant resuspension was relatively low for all capping events. PCB and PAH concentrations for most samples were in the low ng/L range. The most significant releases occurred when previously uncapped sediments were initially capped, and the magnitude of contaminant resuspension decreased with successive capping layers. These results may have important implications regarding sediment cap installation techniques and their potential impacts on water quality. Resuspension during capping may be minimized by placing cap material in lifts, where the first lift provides a uniform layer of clean material using techniques that minimize sediment disturbance and subsequent lifts are placed more aggressively once contaminated sediment is covered.

This paper presents an application of the distributed snow process model (DSPM) and the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) in gridded snowmelt and rainfall-runoff modeling for reservoir operational forecasting, which is an essential component of the CWMS model. The model setup, calibration, and verification are described. The paper particularly focuses on information requirements of DSPM and HEC-HMS for model setup/calibration and continuing forecast operations and shows how these requirements could be met in a practical and operational setting. Elements of the modeling process that are important for operational forecasting are discussed and are expected to benefit similar CWMS operational forecasting in other watersheds both in cold and warm regions.

The responses of water quality, such as dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and water clarity, to nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads are analyzed. From the response surface, a water quality response is estimated under loading conditions beyond that of a limited set of scenarios. Response surfaces may be used to determine the possible universe of nutrient and sediment load reductions needed to obtain a particular water quality standard and to examine the tradeoffs among nutrient and sediment load reductions that achieve the same water quality objective.

Treatment in both batch reactor and continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was investigated. RDX reactivity was strongly dependent on the reaction pH investigated (11–13). The batch system achieved pseudo-first-order RDX reaction rates in the range of (0.8–27.7)×10-3 min-1, corresponding to half-life periods of 17.9 to 0.5 h, respectively. In the CSTR system operated at the initial RDX concentration of 4.5×10-3 mM, 99% RDX removal was achieved with the hydraulic retention time of 2 days and the reaction pH of 11.9. Formate and nitrite were produced as the major hydrolysates in the CSTR system, indicating a simultaneous reaction mechanism involving RDX ring cleavage and elimination of the ring nitrogen. The net OH- demand used only for RDX removal in the CSTR was found to be 1.5, 390, and 130 MOH-/MRDXremoved at pH values of 11.9, 11.5, and 11.0, respectively. A conceptual cost analysis indicated that the expense of alkaline treatment may be comparable to the expense of granular activated carbon treatment for long treatment periods (30 years or more), due to the potentially lower annual operational cost of alkali treatment.

SN - 01777971 AB - Previously, it was shown that a one-dimensional, physics-based (conservation-law) computer model can provide a useful mathematical representation of the wind flow, temperatures, and turbulence inside and above a uniform forest stand. A key element of this calculation was a radiation and energy budget algorithm (implemented to predict the heat source). However, to keep the earlier publication brief, a full description of the radiation and energy budget algorithm was not given. Hence, this paper presents our equation set for calculating the incoming total radiation at the canopy top as well as the transmission, reflection, absorption, and emission of the solar flux through a forest stand. In addition, example model output is presented from three interesting numerical experiments, which were conducted to simulate the canopy microclimate for a forest stand that borders the Blossom Point Field Test Facility (located near La Plata, Maryland along the Potomac River). It is anticipated that the current numerical study will be useful to researchers and experimental planners who will be collecting acoustic and meteorological data at the Blossom Point Facility in the near future.

Risk managers routinely make suboptimal decisions because they are forced to predict environmental response to different management policies in the face of complex environmental challenges, changing environmental conditions, and even changing social priorities. Rather than force risk managers to make single suboptimal management choices, adaptive management explicitly acknowledges the uncertainties at the time of the decision, providing mechanisms to design and institute a set of more flexible alternatives that can be monitored to gain information and reduce the uncertainties associated with future management decisions. Although adaptive management concepts were introduced more than 20 y ago, their implementation has often been limited or piecemeal, especially in remedial decision making. We believe that viable tools exist for using adaptive management more fully. In this commentary, we propose that an adaptive management approach combined with multicriteria decision analysis techniques would result in a more efficient management decision-making process as well as more effective environmental management strategies. A preliminary framework combining the 2 concepts is proposed for future testing and discussion.

CAD cells are selected as the preferred alternative because this approach provides an acceptable compromise when cost, logistics, regulatory acceptance, environmental risk, and perception of various alternatives are considered. This preference for CAD ceils often occurs even when other alternatives with similar risk reduction and less cost, such as an open water capping alternative, are considered as options. This paradox is largely a result of subjective factors that affect regulatory acceptance such as public perceptions.

SN - 0364152X AB - Determining a remeasurement frequency of variables over time is required in monitoring environmental systems. This article demonstrates methods based on regression modeling and spatio-temporal variability to determine the time interval to remeasure the ground and vegetation cover factor on permanent plots for monitoring a soil erosion system. The spatio-temporal variability methods include use of historical data to predict semivariograms, modeling average temporal variability, and temporal interpolation by two-step kriging. The results show that for the cover factor, the relative errors of the prediction increase with an increased length of time interval between remeasurements when using the regression and semivariogram models. Given precision or accuracy requirements, appropriate time intervals can be determined. However, the remeasurement frequency also varies depending on the prediction interval time. As an alternative method, the range parameter of a semivariogram model can be used to quantify average temporal variability that approximates the maximum time interval between remeasurements. This method is simpler than regression and semivariogram modeling, but it requires a long-term dataset based on permanent plots. In addition, the temporal interpolation by two-step kriging is also used to determine the time interval. This method is applicable when remeasurements in time are not sufficient. If spatial and temporal remeasurements are sufficient, it can be expanded and applied to design spatial and temporal sampling simultaneously.

As mentioned, handling and using documents in the courtroom need not be complicated, provided counsel follow certain basic rules established in the U.S. Manual for Courts Martial and the Rules of Practice Before Army Courts-Martial. As suggested, one should start by choosing documents carefully and understand the purpose behind each document.

It has been argued that the appellate courts should stop wandering the Möbius strip path and instead continue to apply the prejudice test to post-trial delay. As mentioned, the courts should adhere to this standard as post-trial delay does not normally affect the findings or the sentence in each case and those cases without prejudice should not receive relief for what amounts to an administrative delay.

Online data were collected from 214 undergraduate students. As hypothesized, mentoring was positively related to capitalization, and both mentoring and capitalization were positively related to satisfaction with one's major, affective commitment to one's major, involvement in one's major, and willingness to be a mentor. Contrary to expectations, capitalization did not mediate the relationship between peer reentering and student outcomes, suggesting that these constructs contribute independently to positive outcomes. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

The majority of chest pain is musculoskeletal in origin, yet differentiating these from other more serious conditions should be the initial primary focus. The ability to reproduce the patient's symptoms aids in the differential diagnostic process. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the use of dry needling (DN) to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall pain. Case Descriptions: A 22 year-old male military athlete with anterior chest pain, refractory to traditional physical therapy, was evaluated and treated with dry needling.Outcomes: Favorable results were achieved as demonstrated by clinically meaningful improvements in the Patient Specific Functional Scale, the Global Rating of Change score, and his physical performance which allowed this athlete to return to competition and military training. Conclusion: Dry needling in the hands of properly trained providers may aid in diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall syndromes.

Systems Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 44 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 146 EP - 161 SN - 21682216 AB - The recent growth of agent-based software systems was achieved without the development of a reference architecture. From a software engineering standpoint, a reference architecture is necessary to compare, evaluate, and integrate past, current, and future agent-based software systems. The agent systems reference architecture (ASRA) advances the agent-based system development process by providing a set of key interaction patterns for functional areas that exist between the layers and protocols of agent-based systems. Furthermore, the ASRA identifies the points for interoperability between agent-based systems and increases the level of discussion when referring to agent-based systems. This paper presents methodology, grounded in software forensics, to develop the ASRA and provides an overview of the resulting architectural representation. The methodology uses an approach based on software engineering techniques adapted to study agent frameworks—the libraries and tools for building agent systems. The resulting ASRA can serve as an abstract representation of the components necessary for facilitating comparison, integration, and interoperation of software systems composed of agents.

They posited that participants rotate mental images to achieve a match and that mental rotation recruits motor processes. This interpretation has become central in the literature, but until now, surprisingly few researchers have compared mental and physical rotation. We had participants rotate virtual Shepard and Metzler figures mentally and physically; response time, accuracy, and real-time rotation data were collected. Results suggest that mental and physical rotation processes overlap and also reveal novel conclusions about physical rotation that have implications for mental rotation. Notably, participants did not rotate figures to achieve a match, but rather until they reached an off-axis canonical difference, and rotational strategies markedly differed for judgments of whether the figures were the same or different.

T1 - Using Transcriptomic Tools to Evaluate Biological Effects Across Effluent Gradients at a Diverse Set of Study Sites in Minnesota, USA. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/02/18/ VL - 48 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2404 EP - 2412 SN - 0013936X AB - The aim of this study was to explore the utility of "omics" approaches in monitoring aquatic environments where complex, often unknown stressors make chemical-specific risk assessment untenable. We examined changes in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) ovarian transcriptome following 4-day exposures conducted at three sites in Minnesota (MN, USA). Within each site, fish were exposed to water from three locations along a spatial gradient relative to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge. After exposure, site-specific impacts on gene expression in ovaries were assessed. Using an intragradient point of comparison, biological responses specifically associated with the WWTP effluent were identified using functional enrichment analyses. Fish exposed to water from locations downstream of the effluent discharges exhibited many transcriptomic responses in common with those exposed to the effluent, indicating that effects of the discharge do not fully dissipate downstream. Functional analyses showed a range of biological pathways impacted through effluent exposure at all three sites. Several of those impacted pathways at each site could be linked to potential adverse reproductive outcomes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in female fathead minnows, specifically signaling pathways associated with oocyte meiosis, TGF-beta signaling, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB), and gene sets associated with cyclin B-1 and metalloproteinase. The utility of this approach comes from the ability to identify biological responses to pollutant exposure, particularly those that can be tied to adverse outcomes at the population level and those that identify molecular targets for future studies.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2013/12/17/ VL - 47 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 14315 EP - 14323 SN - 0013936X AB - Expanded use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in consumer products increases the potential for environmental release and unintended biological exposures. As a result, measurement techniques are needed to accurately quantify ENP size, mass, and particle number distributions in biological matrices. This work combines single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICPMS) with tissue extraction to quantify and characterize metallic ENPs in environmentally relevant biological tissues for the first time. ENPs were extracted from tissues via alkaline digestion using tetramethylarnmonium hydroxide (TMAH). Method development was performed using ground beef and was verified in Daphnia magna and Lumbriculus variegatus. ENPs investigated include 100 and 60 nm Au and Ag stabilized by polyvynylpyrrolidone (PVP). Mass- and number-based recovery of spiked Au and Ag ENPs was high (83-121%) from all tissues tested. Additional experiments suggested ENP mixtures (60 and 100 nm Ag ENPs) could be extracted and quantitatively analyzed. Biological exposures were also conducted to verify the applicability of the method for aquatic organisms. Size distributions and particle number concentrations were determined for ENPs extracted from D. magna exposed to 98 μg/L 100 nm Au and 4.8 μg/L 100 nm Ag ENPs. The D. magna nanoparticulate body burden for Au ENP uptake was 613 ± 230 μg/kgww, while the measured nanoparticulate body burden for D. magna exposed to Ag ENPs was 59 ± 52 μg/kgww Notably, the particle size distributions determined from D. magna tissues suggested minimal shifts in the size distributions of ENPs accumulated, as compared to die exposure media.

Transparent nylon monofilaments are mechanically worked to form flattened nylon ribbons, which are then combined with index-matched epoxy resin to create transparent composites. A range of optical and mechanical experiments are performed on composites and surrogate systems in order to quantify properties and guide system design. The results show that these polymer–polymer composites provide good transparency over a wide temperature range, and superior ballistic penetration resistance compared to monolithic transparent polymers.

This prospective analysis examines the association between BMI of Soldiers at accession and risk of MID.Methods: A total of 736,608 Soldiers were followed from accession into the Army, 2001-2011. Data were analyzed January through March 2015. MID was categorized as any first incident lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder, and secondarily, as first incident injury/disorder at a specific site (i.e., hips, upper legs/thighs, knees, lower legs/ankles, feet/toes). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models estimated associations between BMI category at accession and MID risk.Results: During 15,678,743 person-months of follow-up, 411,413 cases of any first MID were documented (70,578 hip, 77,050 upper leg, 162,041 knee, 338,080 lower leg, and 100,935 foot injuries in secondary analyses). The overall MID rate was 2.62 per 100 person-months. Relative to Soldiers with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m(2)) at accession, those who were underweight (<18.5); overweight (25 to <30); or obese (≥30) had 7%, 11%, and 33% higher risk of MID, respectively, after adjustment. Risks were highest in Soldiers who were obese at accession, and lowest in those with a BMI of 21-23 kg/m(2).Conclusions: Soldier BMI at accession has important implications for MID. A BMI of 21-23 kg/m(2) in newly accessing Soldiers was associated with the lowest risk of incident MID, suggesting that accession be limited to people within this range to reduce overall incidence of MID among service personnel.

AB - The purpose of this study was to longitudinally investigate PTSD and depression between Reserve, National Guard, and active duty continuously and dichotomously. The study consisted of Millennium Cohort Study participants and used self-reported symptoms. Repeated measures modeling assessed PTSD and depression continuously and dichotomously over time. A subanalysis among only recently deployed personnel was conducted. Of the 52,653 participants for the PTSD analysis, the adjusted PCL-C means were 34.6 for Reservists, 34.4 for National Guardsmen, and 34.7 for active duty members, respectively. Of the 53,073 participants for depression analysis, the adjusted PHQ-9 means were 6.8, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively. In dichotomous models, Reservists and National Guardsmen did not have a higher risk of PTSD or depression compared with active duty members. Among deployers, Reservists and National Guardsmen had higher odds (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence limit [CL] [1.01, 1.34] and OR = 1.19, 95% CL [1.04, 1.36], respectively) of screening positive for PTSD, but not depression. Although Reserve and National Guard deployers had modestly increased odds of PTSD compared with active duty members, overall there were minimal differences in the risk and symptom scores of PTSD and depression between service components.

AB - The study of attrition has largely focused on identifying demographic or biographic characteristics that predict whether soldiers complete their enlistment term. As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one’s term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one’s term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. This effect was significant throughout a 3-year period. This work adds to our understanding of attrition by highlighting the role of confidence and ambivalence. Implications for strategies to reduce attrition are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

The argument first posits a distinction between cosmopolitan and patriotic configurations of the soldier’s obligations. David Petraeus’s counterinsurgency guidance typifies the former; Matthew Moten’s configuration of the professional military ethic typifies the latter. Second, Hannah Arendt’s distinction between Work and Action instructs that one does not “build” a polity; political foundations are fugitive and unpredictable. Third, considering Arendt’s theory and current missions, the soldier as a political agent cannot produce stability or build a nation with instrumental certitude; however, the soldier can foster conditions and intervene in ways to nudge circumstances toward a better state of affairs. Finally, military professionals should cultivate a cosmopolitan attitude informed by William Connolly’s ethos of engagement to help them fulfill their obligations to the other.

Dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

Uniformed social workers of the past and those of today are involved in ensuring the well-being of soldiers and their families during peace and war. The training and development of the post-MSW social worker is an area lacking attention in the literature. This article focuses on an innovative military post-MSW training program that simultaneously prepares the social worker for clinical work in multiple military practice areas while also preparing the trainee for independent social work licensure. In the 4 years since implementation, this 2-year training program has become the model for the professional development of new uniformed Army social workers.

This deployment tempo can have negative effects on the physical and psychological well-being of soldiers and their families. In this article, we examine how changes to the structure of work schedules in a U.S. Army brigade can ameliorate negative effects from an increased deployment tempo. The authors present research from a quasi-experimental design that measures soldier opinions before and after changing their work schedule. The results indicate that schedule changes had a positive effect for some junior-enlisted personnel and did not, on average, adversely affect the social and health outcomes of non-commissioned officers.

Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be more widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R(2) = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R(2) = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R(2) = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R(2) = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed.

Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. PURPOSE: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. METHODS: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. RESULTS: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. CONCLUSION: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts.

In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as 'General Service' or 'Limited Service' it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the 'handicapped' and 'substandard' and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution. SN - 0026-4075 AD - Office of Medical History, U.S. Army, HQ MEDCOM, MCMH-HO, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6028.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that reduces blood loss during surgery, decreases mortality in civilian and military trauma populations, was adopted for prehospital use by the British military, and is now issued to U.S. Special Operations Forces for use on the battlefield. Objective. This study tested whether storage of TXA ampoules at four temperatures (-20°C, 4°C, 22°C, or 50°C) for 1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks would result in chemical degradation and the loss of activity to block streptokinase-induced fibrinolysis in human plasma. Methods. For each temperature and storage duration, normal plasma, plasma plus streptokinase (SK) (50 units/mL), and plasma + SK + TXA (0.2 μg/mL, n = 4) were tested for D-dimer (DD), for fibrin degradation products (FDP), by thromboelastography (to measure the units/mL of SK needed to get 100% fibrinolysis at 60 minutes [LY60]), and by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results were similar for all temperatures and storage durations, and were therefore combined. Results. Streptokinase led to a rise in LY60, DD, and FDP that was significantly (p < 0.05) attenuated with TXA. The results in the three test conditions were LY60: 0.00% ± 0.00%, 70.52% ± 4.7%, 0.02% ± 0.01%; DD: 0.23 ± 0.1, 205.05 ± 101.59, 0.31 ± 0.01 mg/L; and FDP: <10, >40, and <10 μg/mL, respectively. The HPLC results showed no chemical breakdown of TXA. All TXA glass ampoules at -20°C were cracked by week 1. Conclusions. Except for the finding that TXA ampoules cracked when frozen, this study indicated that the drug remains effective when stored under conditions likely to be encountered in the prehospital environment and outside the manufacturer's recommended temperature range for at least 12 weeks.

This article presents an analysis on the biomechanics and applications of cervical spine injury research with an emphasis on human tolerance for underbody blast loadings in the military. Methods: Following a brief review of published military studies on the occurrence and identification of field trauma, postmortem human subject investigations are described using whole body, intact head–neck complex, osteo-ligamentous cervical spine with head, subaxial cervical column, and isolated segments subjected to differing types of dynamic loadings (electrohydraulic and pendulum impact devices, free-fall drops). Findings: Spine injuries have shown an increasing trend over the years, explosive devices are one of the primary causal agents and trauma is attributed to vertical loads. Injuries, mechanisms and tolerances are discussed under these loads. Probability-based injury risk curves are included based on loading rate, direction and age. Interpretation: A unique advantage of human cadaver tests is the ability to obtain fundamental data to delineate injury biomechanics and establish human tolerance and injury criteria. Definitions of tolerances of the spine under vertical loads based on injuries have implications in clinical and biomechanical applications. Primary outputs such as forces and moments can be used to derive secondary variables such as the neck injury criterion. Implications are discussed for designing anthropomorphic test devices that may be used to predict injuries in underbody blast environments and improve the safety of military personnel.

Nevertheless, the ACS does not comprise structural integrity to adequately support bone formation for onlay indications. The objective of this study was to evaluate local bone formation and osseointegration following surgical implantation of rh BMP-2 soak-loaded onto a compression resistant matrix ( CRM). Methods Routine, contralateral, critical-size, supraalveolar, peri-implant defects in five adult male Hound Labrador mongrel dogs received 0.8 mg rh BMP-2 soak-loaded onto either the ACS (benchmark control) or a CRM (collagen/ β- TCP/hydroxyapatite) followed by submerged wound closure for primary intention healing. The animals were euthanized at 8 weeks for histologic/histometric evaluation. Results Healing was uneventful albeit considerable initial swelling was observed for either treatment. Sites receiving rh BMP-2/ CRM showed significantly increased bone area (20.0 ± 0.9 versus 12.3 ± 2.6 mm2, p = 0.03) and bone density (24.1 ± 1.4% versus 14.6 ± 2.0%, p = 0.04) compared with those receiving rh BMP-2/ ACS. There were no significant differences between treatments for new bone height and osseointegration. Woven and lamellar trabecular bone lined with abundant osteoid was observed for all sites. Inconsistent cortex formation confirmed the immature nature of the newly formed bone. Seroma formation was observed for both treatments (80-100% of the animals/implants). Sites receiving rh BMP-2/ CRM showed residual ceramic granules undergoing biodegradation, including accumulation of foamy macrophages. Conclusions rh BMP-2/ CRM supports bone formation of clinically relevant geometry. Longer observation intervals as well as dose variations appear necessary to capture maturation of the newly formed bone, elimination of residual ceramic granules and resolution of seroma formation(s).

The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. METHODS: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage, deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. RESULTS: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The band was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively with tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. CONCLUSIONS: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training.

The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. METHODS: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. RESULTS: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common iliac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group 'Mental Health Training' initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations.

Refrigeration causes a number of biophysical and biochemical changes in PLTs and decreases PLT circulation time in vivo. However, the effect of refrigeration on PLT hemostatic functions under physiologic and pathophysiologic shear conditions has not been adequately characterized.Study Design and Methods: Washed PLTs prepared from either fresh PLT-rich plasma (PRP) or PRP stored at 4°C for 2 days was mixed with exogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) and fibrinogen and sheared in a cone-and-plate viscometer. PLT aggregation, activation, and VWF binding after shear and glycoprotein (GP) Ibα receptor expression and ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination were measured.Results: PLTs stored at 4°C for 2 days aggregated significantly more than fresh PLTs particularly at high shear rates (10,000/sec), and this increase was independent of PLT concentration or suspension viscosity. Further, refrigerated PLTs showed a greater increase in GP Ibα-dependent PLT activation under shear and also bound more VWF than fresh PLTs. However, the GP Ibα expression levels as measured by three different antibodies were significantly lower in refrigerated PLTs than in fresh PLTs, and refrigeration resulted in a modest decrease in ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination.Conclusion: The combined results demonstrate that refrigeration increases PLT aggregation under high shear, but not static, conditions and also increases shear-induced VWF binding and PLT activation. Clinically, enhanced shear-induced PLT aggregation due to low temperature storage may be a beneficial strategy to prevent severe bleeding in trauma.

Data used in this study were obtained for suicides occurring from 2007 to 2010 and for a random sample of nonsuicides from the general ARNG population. Of the military-related variables considered, a few showed relationships to suicide. Rather, the primary variables associated with suicide were soldier background characteristics, including age (17-24 years), race (White), and gender (male). Cluster analysis revealed two distinct suicide groups: 'careerists' (about one third of all suicides) and 'first-termers' (about two thirds of all suicides), each group exhibiting different concurrent behavioral problems.

This may be achieved by combining different analytical approaches such as risk analysis (RA), life cycle analysis (LCA), multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), and economic valuation methods. We propose the use of stochastic MCDA based on outranking algorithms to implement integrative sustainability strategies for sediment management. In this paper we use the method to select the best sediment management alternatives for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan (PCDD/F) contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway. In the analysis, the benefits of health risk reductions and socio-economic benefits from removing seafood health advisories are evaluated against the detriments of remedial costs and life cycle environmental impacts. A value-plural based weighing of criteria is compared to criteria weights mimicking traditional cost-effectiveness (CEA) and cost-benefit (CBA) analyses. Capping highly contaminated areas in the inner or outer fjord is identified as the most preferable remediation alternative under all criteria schemes and the results are confirmed by a probabilistic sensitivity analysis. The proposed methodology can serve as a flexible framework for future decision support and can be a step toward more sustainable decision making for contaminated sediment management. It may be applicable to the broader field of ecosystem restoration for trade-off analysis between ecosystem services and restoration costs.

Twenty-three crossbred pigs were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: weaning at 14 (14D, n = 8), 21 (21D, n = 7), or 28 (28D, n = 8) d of age. Peripheral blood samples, obtained when pigs were 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, 29, and 35 d of age, were analyzed for peripheral blood cell percentages and concentrations of neutrophils, lymphocytes, T cell subsets, mature B cells, and plasma cortisol concentrations. For each of the 3 groups, weaning increased plasma cortisol concentrations (P < 0.001) and reduced BW percentage change (P < 0.017). Lymphocyte concentrations displayed a treatment effect for the 14D (P = 0.074) and 28D (P = 0.014) groups. Albeit inconsistent, lymphocyte concentrations were less in weaned pigs on the day after weaning than in pigs remaining on the sow or weaned at a younger age. Specifically, mature B cells (CD21+) and CD4+CD8+ cells decreased (P < 0.05) after weaning at 28 d of age. Other differences occurred among treatments; however, the differences apparently were not associated with weaning. Based upon the immunological measures used in the present study, there was not an explicit benefit to the adaptive immune system for any weaning age. Early weaning did not negatively affect the adaptive immunological competence of pigs as determined by changes in populations of immune cells.

Using isotope enriched MMHg as tracers, bioavailability was determined by comparing the rate of MMHg uptake by novel DGT devices and sentinel organism over time. Experiments were conducted under varying conditions of salinity and MMHg speciation. Depending on MMHg level and speciation in the dissolved phase, MMHg uptake rates by the sentinel organism varied greatly from 0.4 to 2.4Lg−1 d−1. Reproducibilities of MMHg uptakes by DGT and clams were estimated at 7 and 38%, respectively. A significant linear relationship (log basis) between MMHg accumulation by DGT and clams was observed (r2 =0.89). The study demonstrates that DGT results reasonably predict MMHg uptake by clams from the aqueous phase and provide the basis for application of the DGT device as a surrogate for sentinel organism for monitoring bioavailable MMHg.

T1 - Gene Expression Analysis of CL-20-Induced Reversible Neurotoxicity Reveals GABAA Receptors as Potential Targets in the Earthworm Eisenia fetida. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/01/17/ VL - 46 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1223 EP - 1232 SN - 0013936X AB - The earthworm Eisenia fetida is one of the most used species in standardized soil ecotoxicity tests. End points such as survival, growth, and reproduction are eco-toxicologically relevant but provide little mechanistic insight into toxicity pathways, especially at the molecular level. Here we apply a toxicogenomic approach to investigate the mode of action underlying the reversible neurotoxicity of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), a cyclic nitroamine explosives compound. We developed an E. fetida-specific shotgun microarray targeting 15119 unique E. fetida transcripts. Using this array we profiled gene expression in E. fetida in response to exposure to CL-20. Eighteen earthworms were exposed for 6 days to 0.2 μg/cm² of CL-20 on filter paper, half of which were allowed to recover in a clean environment for 7 days. Nine vehicle control earthworms were sacrificed at days 6 and 13, separately. Electrophysiological measurements indicated that the conduction velocity of earthworm medial giant nerve fiber decreased significantly after 6-day exposure to CL-20, but was restored after 7 days of recovery. Total RNA was isolated from the four treatment groups including 6-day control, 6-day exposed, 13-day control, and 13-day exposed (i.e., 6-day exposure followed by 7-day recovery), and was hybridized to the 15K shotgun oligo array. Statistical and bioinformatic analyses suggest that CL-20 initiated neurotoxicity by noncompetitively blocking the ligand-gated GABAA receptor ion channel, leading to altered expression of genes involved in GABAergic, cholinergic, and Agrin-MuSK pathways. In the recovery phase, expression of affected genes returned to normality, possibly as a result of autophagy and CL-20 dissociation/metabolism. This study provides significant insights into potential mechanisms of CL-20-induced neurotoxicity and the recovery of earthworms from transient neurotoxicity stress.

Oxidizing potentials of Mn oxides are determined by Mn valence states (2+, 3+, 4+). In this study, the effects of beam damage during electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the transmission electron microscope have been investigated to determine the "safe dose" of electrons. Time series analyses determined the safe dose fluence (electrons/nm²) for todorokite (106 e/nm²), acid birnessite (105), triclinic birnessite (104), randomly stacked birnessite (10³), and δ-MnO2 (<10³) at 200 kV. The results show that meaningful estimates of the mean Mn valence can be acquired by EELS if proper care is taken.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among active component U.S. military personnel age 17–35 years. Individuals with first time diagnoses of type 1 diabetes between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2008 were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes. We used Poisson regression to estimate risk ratios between individual vaccine exposures and type 1 diabetes. Secondary analyses were performed controlling for receipt of multiple vaccines and available demographic variables. Results: Our study population consisted of 2,385,102 individuals followed for approximately 7,644,098 person-years of service. This included 1074 incident type 1 diabetes cases. We observed no significant increased risk of type 1 diabetes after vaccination with anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) [RR=1.00; 95% CI (0.85, 1.17)], smallpox vaccine [RR=0.84; 95% (CI 0.70, 1.01)], typhoid vaccine [RR=1.03; 95% CI (0.87, 1.22)], hepatitis B vaccine [RR=0.83; 95% CI (0.72, 0.95)], measles mumps rubella vaccine (MMR) [RR=0.71, 95% CI (0.61, 0.83)], or yellow fever vaccine [RR=0.70; 95% CI (0.59, 0.82)]. Conclusions: We did not find an increased risk of diagnosed type 1 diabetes and any of the study vaccines. We recommend that follow-up studies using medical record review to confirm case status should be considered to corroborate these findings.

This reaction was studied using a γ-Al2O3 coated foam as a catalyst, as well as a similar foam with rhodium (Rh) added. The results show that little H2 is produced when the Rh is absent, whereas selectivities as high as 62.92% were achieved (80% is the theoretical maximum) with the noble metal present. The alumina catalyst also displays no complete combustion regime for fuel lean combustion; instead, olefins, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water are the dominant products at all equivalence ratios. Additional results from catalytic partial oxidation of isobutene suggest that isobutene could be an intermediate during catalytic partial oxidation of isobutanol. With approximately 8.25 W of isobutanol, 3.61 W of H2 can be attained with the Rh catalyst for use in small power devices, such as a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The corresponding fuel-to-electricity efficiency was about 20.8%.

Four days of waterborne exposure to 10 μg BPA/L caused significant vitellogenin induction in both species. However, zebrafish were less sensitive to effects on hepatic gene expression and steroid production than fathead minnow and the magnitude of vitellogenin induction was more modest (i.e., 3-fold compared to 13?000-fold in fathead minnow). The concentration-response at the ovarian transcriptome level was nonmonotonic and violated assumptions that underlie proposed methods for estimating hazard thresholds from transcriptomic results. However, the nonmonotonic profile was consistent among species and there were nominal similarities in the functions associated with the differentially expressed genes, suggesting potential activation of common pathway perturbation motifs in both species. Overall, the results provide an effective case study for considering the potential application of ecotoxicogenomics to ecological risk assessments and provide novel comparative data regarding effects of BPA in fish.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/01/03/ VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 42 EP - 50 SN - 0013936X AB - Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as complex mixtures. Here, fifteen polymerase chain reaction assays targeting Daphnia magna genes were calibrated to responses elicited in D. magna exposed for 24 h to five different doses each of the munitions constituents 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, trinitrobenzene, dinitrobenzene, or 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane. A piecewise-linear model for log-fold expression changes in gene assays was used to predict response to munitions mixtures and contaminated groundwater under the assumption that chemical effects were additive. The correlations of model predictions with actual expression changes ranged from 0.12 to 0.78 with an average of 0.5. To better understand possible mixture effects, gene expression changes from all treatments were compared using high-density microarrays. Whereas mixtures and groundwater exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the nonadditivity of chemical effects in these mixtures. These results suggest that, while gene behavior in response to chemical exposure can be partially predicted based on chemical exposure, estimation of the composition of mixtures from chemical responses is difficult without further understanding of gene behavior in mixtures. Future work will need to examine additive and nonadditive mixture effects using a much greater range of different chemical classes in order to clarify the behavior and predictability of complex mixtures.

T1 - Building Quantitative Prediction Models for Tissue Residue of Two Explosives Compounds in Earthworms from Microarray Gene Expression Data. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/01/03/ VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 26 SN - 0013936X AB - Soil contamination near munitions plants and testing grounds is a serious environmental concern that can result in the formation of tissue chemical residue in exposed animals. Quantitative prediction of tissue residue still represents a challenging task despite long-term interest and pursuit, as tissue residue formation is the result of many dynamic processes including uptake, transformation, and assimilation. The availability of high-dimensional microarray gene expression data presents a new opportunity for computational predictive modeling of tissue residue from changes in expression profile. Here we analyzed a 240-sample data set with measurements of transcriptomic-wide gene expression and tissue residue of two chemicals, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX), in the earthworm Eisenia fetida. We applied two different computational approaches, LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) and RF (Random Forest), to identify predictor genes and built predictive models. Each approach was tested alone and in combination with a prior variable selection procedure that involved the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and HOPACH (Hierarchical Ordered Partitioning And Collapsing Hybrid). Model evaluation results suggest that LASSO was the best performer of minimum complexity on the TNT data set, whereas the combined Wilcoxon-HOPACH-RF approach achieved the highest prediction accuracy on the RDX data set. Our models separately identified two small sets of ca. 30 predictor genes for RDX and TNT. We have demonstrated that both LASSO and RF are powerful tools for quantitative prediction of tissue residue. They also leave more unknown than explained, however, allowing room for improvement with other computational methods and extension to mixture contamination scenarios.

This API, along with a corresponding data standard, is being implemented within ERDC computational models to facilitate rapid data access, enhanced data compression and data sharing, and cross-platform independence. The API and data standard are known as the extensible Model Data Format (XMDF), and version 1.3 is available for free download. This API is designed to manage geometric data associated with grids, meshes, riverine and coastal cross sections, and both static and transient array-based datasets. The inclusion of coordinate system data makes it possible to share data between models developed in different coordinate systems. XMDF is used to store the data-intensive components of a modeling study in a compressed binary format that is platform independent. It also provides a standardized file format that enhances modeling linking and data sharing between models.

To develop a method to monitor the passage and survival of juvenile salmonids without bias through turbines within the Federal Columbia River Power System, we developed and fabricated two designs of neutrally buoyant transmitters: Type A (sutured to the dorsal musculature of the fish anterior to the dorsal fin) and Type B (two-part design attached with wire pushed through the dorsal musculature, ventral to the dorsal fin). To determine the efficacy of the two designs under non-turbine passage-related conditions, fish had one of the tags attached and were held for 14 days to determine any potential effects of the tags on growth, survival and tissue damage. We also evaluated the attachment method by monitoring tag retention. These two neutrally buoyant tag designs were compared to nontagged individuals and those surgically implanted with current Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) transmitters and passive integrated responder (PIT) tags. In addition, two suture materials (Monocryl and Vicryl Rapide) were tested for attachment of Type A tags. When compared with non-tagged individuals, fish tagged with Type A tags did not differ significantly with respect to growth or mortality over a 14-d holding period. However, fish tagged with Type B transmitters had lower growth rates than the nontagged controls or other tag treatments. The efficacy of two designs was also compared to nontagged individuals under shear exposure. Fish were exposed to a submerged, 6.35-cm-diameter water jet at velocities ranging from 3.0 to 12.2m/s in a water flume to simulate turbine conditions within the Columbia River basin. Throughout the shear exposure study, no mortalities or tag loss were observed. There was also no significant difference in the rates of shear injury between untagged fish and fish tagged with Type A or Type B tags. When tissue damage was assessed for tagged individuals exposed to shear forces, those tagged with Type A tags showed lower rates and severity of injury when compared to Type B-tagged fish. Overall, Type A tags may be a viable tag design for juvenile Chinook salmon passing through hydropower facilities.

These changes, and others discovered during remeasurement, have been caused by a complex of factors, some related to damming (altered hydrologic and sediment regimes, delta formation, and associated wet-dry cycles) and some not (diseases and expansion of invasive plants). Dominance of green ash, however, may be short lived, given the likelihood that the emerald ash borer will arrive in the Dakotas in 5-10 years, with potentially devastating effects. The prospects for recovery of this valuable ecosystem, rich in ecosystem goods and services and in American history, are daunting.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 115 EP - 121 SN - 07307268 AB - The environmental prevalence of engineered nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticulate silver (AgNP), is expected to increase substantially. The ubiquitous use of commercial products containing AgNP may result in their release to the environment, and the potential for ecological effects is unknown. Detecting engineered nanomaterials is one of the greatest challenges in quantifying their risks. Thus, it is imperative to develop techniques capable of measuring and characterizing exposures, while dealing with the innate difficulties of nanomaterial detection in environmental samples, such as low-engineered nanomaterial concentrations, aggregation, and complex matrices. Here the authors demonstrate the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, operated in a single-particle counting mode (SP-ICP-MS), to detect and quantify AgNP. In the present study, two AgNP products were measured by SP-ICP-MS, including one of precisely manufactured size and shape, as well as a commercial AgNP-containing health food product. Serial dilutions, filtration, and acidification were applied to confirm that the method detected particles. Differentiation of dissolved and particulate silver (Ag) is a feature of the technique. Analysis of two wastewater samples demonstrated the applicability of SP-ICP-MS at nanograms per liter Ag concentrations. In this pilot study, AgNP was found at 100 to 200 ng/L in the presence of 50 to 500 ng/L dissolved Ag. The method provides the analytical capability to monitor Ag and other metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in fate, transport, stability, and toxicity studies using a commonly available laboratory instrument. Rapid throughput and element specificity are additional benefits of SP-ICP-MS as a measurement tool for metal and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles. Environ. Toxicol.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 31 SN - 07307268 AB - Ecotoxicology research is using many methods for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but the collective experience from researchers has not been documented. This paper reports the practical issues for working with ENMs and suggests nano-specific modifications to protocols. The review considers generic practical issues, as well as specific issues for aquatic tests, marine grazers, soil organisms, and bioaccumulation studies. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are adequate, but electrodes are problematic. The maintenance of exposure concentration is challenging, but can be achieved with some ENMs. The need to characterize the media during experiments is identified, but rapid analytical methods are not available to do this. The use of sonication and natural/synthetic dispersants are discussed. Nano-specific biological endpoints may be developed for a tiered monitoring scheme to diagnose ENM exposure or effect. A case study of the algal growth test highlights many small deviations in current regulatory test protocols that are allowed (shaking, lighting, mixing methods), but these should be standardized for ENMs. Invertebrate ( Daphnia) tests should account for mechanical toxicity of ENMs. Fish tests should consider semistatic exposure to minimize wastewater and animal husbandry. The inclusion of a benthic test is recommended for the base set of ecotoxicity tests with ENMs. The sensitivity of soil tests needs to be increased for ENMs and shortened for logistics reasons; improvements include using Caenorhabditis elegans, aquatic media, and metabolism endpoints in the plant growth tests. The existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed and require considerable modification, or a new test, to work for ENMs. Overall, most methodologies need some amendments, and recommendations are made to assist researchers.

Previous studies in this area have indicated a preference for synthetic polymeric materials because of their ability to bind greater amounts of oil and their reusability, as compared to organic materials including straw. However, it is clear that plastic leads to ecological problems in marine environments and does not typically provide bioavailable nutrients such as nitrogen or phosphorus to aid the natural oil biodegradation process. Our results suggest the advisability of using biomass such as straw for crude oil remediation.

While much of the Vietnam historiography maintains that ‘body counts’ served as the primary, if not only, indicator of wartime success, such arguments overlook the vast numbers of reports attempting to measure progress and performance. Problems in evaluating progress stemmed not from a lack of effort on the part of army officers or from a single-minded commitment to counting bodies. Rather, complications arose from attempting to collect too many facts, figures, and statistics without evaluating how accurately such data reflected progress in a complex political-military environment.

JO - North Dakota Law Review JF - North Dakota Law Review J1 - North Dakota Law Review PY - 2012/03// Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 88 IS - 1 CP - 1 M3 - Article SP - 97 EP - 138 SN - 00292745 AB - In the aftermath of the historic 2011 Missouri River flood, Missouri River Basin (MRB) state representatives and governors criticize the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for operating the Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System (System) in support of the multiple, often conflicting, purposes outlined in the Flood Control Act of 1944. These officials envision entering into an interstate compact to divest the Corps of some of its operational authority and to broaden their role in managing water resources. Similarly, MRB tribal leaders argue that the Corps fails to operate its System in a manner that respects the interrelated issues of Indian reserved water rights and tribal sovereignty. As States and Tribes contemplate a rebalancing of power in the MRB, it is essential that any water resources management solution provide a forum in which affected States, Tribes, and the Federal government might work together in pursuit of interconnected interests. Accordingly, it is time for stakeholders to think beyond the dualistic "federal-interstate" compact arrangement and seriously consider a pluralistic "federal-interstate-tribal" approach - even if Indian reserved water rights are not yet quantified. Although such a tripartite approach is a departure from traditional compacting practice, the great weight of Indian reserved water rights warrants tribal representation on any commission charged with implementing a twenty-first century MRB water resources compact. Further, it would be unrealistic to expect a federal commissioner to represent tribal interests until such time as rights are quantified, given the Federal government's conflict of interest in operating the System for other consumptive users. This Article concludes that the Federal government's interests in flood protection, navigation, and national security, and the Tribes' interests in protecting reserved water rights and tribal sovereignty, warrant an inter-sovereign approach whereby power is shared equally among signatories to this compact.

Observed infrasound signals varied in amplitude and waveform complexity, indicating propagation effects that are due in part to repeated local maxima and minima in the topography on the scale of the dominant wavelengths of the observed data. Numerical simulations using an empirically derived pressure source function combining published FRE accelerometer data and historical data from Project ESSEX, a time-domain parabolic equation model that accounted for local terrain elevation through terrain-masking, and local meteorological atmospheric profiles were able to explain some but not all of the observed signal features. Specifically, the simulations matched the timing of the observed infrasound signals but underestimated the waveform amplitude observed behind terrain features, suggesting complex scattering and absorption of energy associated with variable topography influences infrasonic energy more than previously observed.

Using a subsample (N = 3057) of data from the Biannual Attitude Survey of Students (BASS), being a military academy cadet is associated with the strongest agreement for barring homosexuals from serving in the military, followed by ROTC cadets and civilians. These trends continue when controlling for respondents' sex and political affiliation—the two most significant predictors of agreeing to bar homosexuals from military service. A small reduction in agreement for barring was found among academy cadets over time.

JO - Southeastern Archaeology JF - Southeastern Archaeology Y1 - 2011///Summer2011 VL - 30 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 20 EP - 37 SN - 0734578X AB - Despite extensive work by the University of Chicago in 1934-44, Kincaid has remained one of the least understood of the large mid-South Mississippian mound complexes. Between 2003 and 2009, large-scale magnetic gradient survey was done on 33.6 ha of the site, roughly half of the total site area and 65 percent of the larger and more accessible Massac County portion. The survey was highly successful, revealing large numbers of cultural features, including palisades, structures, pit features, and midden areas. This paper presents the preliminary results of the geophysical survey, complemented by small-scale ground-truthing excavations. Together these have significantly expanded and refined our understanding of this large prehistoric town. Kincaid is clearly much larger than once thought, both in terms of total site area and area of habitation. The site also exhibits much greater internal complexity, as evidenced by internal palisades and numerous small mounds and earthen platforms.

A portion of Ramey Field was surveyed in 2003-4 using magnetic field 8radiometry (43,600 m and electrical resistance (29,200 m²). Survey goals were to identify large-scale public or ritual architecture and to assess the usefulness of near-surface geophysical surveys in an area of deep, complex deposits. Very few typical features such as structures and pits could be identified. At least five construction episodes and a circular structure measuring 20 m in diameter were identified in Mound 36. A massive complex of resistance and magnetic anomalies overlooking Cahokia Creek may represent a previously unknown mound, constructed surface, reclaimed borrow pit, or facility associated with possible stockade entryways.

JO - American Antiquity JF - American Antiquity Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 76 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 285 EP - 313 SN - 00027316 AB - Archaeological models of Clovis adaptations are divided between those that argue for a single hunting adaptation characterized by high residential mobility without fixed territories and those that argue for a diversity of environment-specific adaptations and settlement systems. The Dietz site (35LK1529), the largest Clovis site in the Pacific Northwest, is composed of many overlapping, spatially coherent artifact clusters from which 75 whole and fragmentary fluted points have been recovered. The artifact assemblage is inconsistent with use of the site as a kill, camp, or quarry site. Geoarchaeological data show that the site area during the Clovis occupation was a sparsely vegetated, seasonal playa that is unlikely to have supported large herds of game animals. However, the site sits astride what was probably a major transportation corridor linking highly productive ecosystems in the adjoining basins, and Clovis foragers appear to have camped at Dietz repeatedly while traveling between these nearby basins. The systematic and redundant use of a geographically small landscape by Clovis foragers is inconsistent with expectations based on a model of residentially mobile foragers occupying new territories. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Los modelos teóricos de la adaptación Clovis se dividen entre los que abogan por un solo tipo de adaptación basada en la caza, con una movilidad residencial alta y sin territorios fijos, por otro lado están los que contemplan una diversidad de adaptaciones y de sistemas de asentamiento específicos para cada tipo de medio ambiente. El sitio Dietz, el yacimiento Clovis más grande del Pacífico Noroeste de los Estados Unidos, está compuesto de varios estratos culturales con artefactos agrupados de manera coherente entre los que se han recuperado un total de 75 puntas de proyectil tipo Clovis (completas y fragmentadas). El conjunto no parece indicar el empleo del yacimiento como lugar de matanza, de campamento a largo plazo o de taller lítico. Los datos geomorfológicos indican que durante la ocupación Clovis el área tenía una vegetación pobre, con un estanque estacional que no podía abastecer grandes manadas de ungulados. Sin embargo, el sitio está ubicado en medio de un probable corredor que comunica a varios ecosistemas muy productivos en cuencas cercanas. Los cazadores-recolectores Clovis parecen haber acampado en Dietz de manera repetida durante sus trayectos entre dichas cuencas. El empleo sistemático y redundante de un pequeño paisaje por parte de las gentes Clovis no concuerda con las expectativas basadas en un modelo de forrajeros móviles que estaban en búsqueda de nuevos territorios de ocupación.

A 1-day total population survey described the diverse nature and impact of patient-handling tasks relative to a variety of nursing care units, patient characteristics, and transfer equipment. Productivity baselines were established based on patient dependency, physical exertion, type of transfer, and time spent performing the transfer. Descriptions of the physiological effect of transfers on staff based on patient, transfer, and staff characteristics were developed. Nursing staff response to surveys demonstrated how patient-handling demands are impacted by the staff's physical exertion and level of patient dependency. The findings of this study describe the types of transfers occurring in these inpatient units and the physical exertion and time requirements for these transfers. This description may guide selection of the most appropriate and cost-effective patient-handling equipment required for specific units and patients.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the detection, localization, and response time to an M-16 rifle magazine insertion click in three background conditions: jungle, pink, and ambient noise. The level of the click varied from -18 to 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Reported results indicate that detection rates of 50, 70, and 100% required SNRs of -6 to -12, DS3, and 0 dB, respectively. Localization accuracy of 50 and 80% within a ±15° angle required SNRs of about DS6 and 0 dB, respectively; 100% accuracy was never achieved. Response time was about 2.0-2.5 s for high SNRs but increased gradually at poorer SNRs. The military relevance of the reported findings is discussed.

This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. METHODS: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. RESULTS: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers.

Performance measurements included latency to detect a target, number of correct target detections, correct friend versus foe identification, targets hit, and latency to respond to the presentation of a continuous tone (secondary task). Activity monitors measured motor activity during study participation. During higher work rate sessions, participants responded to the appearance of a target more quickly, discriminated friend from foe more accurately, and hit more foe targets. The addition of a simple auditory task to the primary task did not affect performance on any of the sentry duty measures. These findings demonstrated that moderate increases in task engagement, or work rate, improved most performance metrics on a long duration (3-hr), militarily relevant vigilance task.

Factor analytic research of performance dimensions supports the concept that interpersonal task performance is a unique dimension of performance (e.g., Distefano & Pryer, 1986; Pulakos, Borman, & Hough, 1988). Latent models of job performance, however, have not necessarily separated the technical dimension of task performance from an interpersonal dimension of task performance (e.g. Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, & Sager, 1993). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare the fit of the Campbell et al. (1993) model with a modified model that also included an interpersonal task performance dimension. Results demonstrated that inclusion of a unique latent dimension for interpersonal task performance improved the fit of the model to data from a job with a high requirement for interpersonal performance. The implications of these results for understanding and summarizing performance are discussed.

We used data from an urbanized catchment, the 14.3 km2 Dead Run watershed near Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and the physics-based gridded surface/subsurface hydrologic analysis (GSSHA) model to examine the relative effect of each of these factors on flood peaks, runoff volumes, and runoff production efficiencies. GSSHA was used because the model explicitly includes the spatial variability of land-surface and hydrodynamic parameters, including subsurface storm drains. Results indicate that increases in drainage density, particularly increases in density from low values, produce significant increases in the flood peaks. For a fixed land-use and rainfall input, the flood magnitude approaches an upper limit regardless of the increase in the channel drainage density. Changes in imperviousness can have a significant effect on flood peaks for both moderately extreme and extreme storms. For an extreme rainfall event with a recurrence interval in excess of 100 years, imperviousness is relatively unimportant in terms of runoff efficiency and volume, but can affect the peak flow depending on rainfall rate. Changes to the width function affect flood peaks much more than runoff efficiency, primarily in the case of lower density drainage networks with less impermeable area. Storm drains increase flood peaks, but are overwhelmed during extreme rainfall events when they have a negligible effect. Runoff in urbanized watersheds with considerable impervious area shows a marked sensitivity to rainfall rate. This sensitivity explains some of the contradictory findings in the literature.

In the current study, the efficacy of roxithromycin in ameliorating SM-induced respiratory injury was further evaluated in a rat model. Anesthetized rats (N = 8/group) were intratracheally exposed to SM by vapor inhalation. For the drug treatment groups, rats were orally given 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg roxithromycin one hr prior to exposure and every twenty-four hr thereafter. After one, three, or seven days of treatment, sections of the lung were examined and scored for histopathological parameters. Treatment with roxithromycin ameliorated many of the symptoms caused by SM in some animals. In particular, treatment at 40 mg/kg for three days showed significant improvements (p < .05) over the untreated group. When the evaluation was focused on trachea, treatment with roxithromycin for three days showed a trend of dose-dependent protection; moreover, the groups treated with 20 or 40 mg/kg of roxithromycin were statistically different (p < .001 and p < .05, respectively) from the untreated group. These results suggest that roxithromycin protects against some damages associated with SM injury in the lung, particularly in the upper respiratory tract.

IFNs released from infected cells bind to a receptor (IFNAR) on neighboring cells, triggering signaling cascades that limit further infection. Subtle variations in amino acids can alter IFNAR binding and signaling outcomes. We used a new gene crossbreeding method to generate hybrid, type I human IFNs with enhanced antiviral activity against four dissimilar, highly pathogenic viruses. Approximately 1400 novel IFN genes were expressed in plants, and the resultant IFN proteins were screened for antiviral activity. Comparing the gene sequences of a final set of 12 potent IFNs to those of parent genes revealed strong selection pressures at numerous amino acids. Using three-dimensional models based on a recently solved experimental structure of IFN bound to IFNAR, we show that many but not all of the amino acids that were highly selected for are predicted to improve receptor binding.

NG phytotoxicity data reported in the literature cannot be applied directly to development of ecotoxicological benchmarks for plant exposures in soil because they were determined in studies using hydroponic media, cell cultures, and transgenic plants. Toxicities of NG in the present studies were evaluated for alfalfa (Medicago sativa), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli), and ryegrass (Lolium perenne) exposed to NG in Sassafras sandy loam soil. Uptake and degradation of NG were also evaluated in ryegrass. The median effective concentration values for shoot growth ranged from 40 to 231mgkg−1 in studies with NG freshly amended in soil, and from 23 to 185mgkg−1 in studies with NG weathered-and-aged in soil. Weathering-and-aging NG in soil did not significantly affect the toxicity based on 95% confidence intervals for either seedling emergence or plant growth endpoints. Uptake studies revealed that NG was not accumulated in ryegrass but was transformed into dinitroglycerin in the soil and roots, and was subsequently translocated into the ryegrass shoots. The highest bioconcentration factors for dinitroglycerin of 685 and 40 were determined for roots and shoots, respectively. Results of these studies will improve our understanding of toxicity and bioconcentration of NG in terrestrial plants and will contribute to ecological risk assessment of NG-contaminated sites.

A laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor was initially inoculated with a Type II Methylocystis-like dominated culture. At elevated levels of dissolved oxygen (DO, 9mg/L), pH of 6.2–6.5 with nitrate as the N-source, a Methylobacter-like Type I methanotroph became dominant within the biofilms which did not produce PHB. A shift to biofilms capable of PHB production was achieved by re-inoculating with Type II Methylosinus culture, providing dissolved N2 as the N-source, and maintaining a low influent DO (2.0mg/L). The resulting biofilms contained both Types I and II methanotrophs. Batch tests indicated that biofilm samples grown with N2 became dominated by Type II methanotrophs and produced PHB. Enrichments with nitrate or ammonium were dominated by Type I methanotrophs without PHB production capability. The key selection factors favoring Type II were N2 as N-source and low DO.

Given this interest, it is desirable to be able to describe accurately the combustion mechanism and kinetics of HN3, the smallest, high-nitrogen compound. We report a combined experimental and modeling study of neat and HN3-doped H2/O2/Ar flames. We employed thin-wire thermometry and hydroxyl (OH) laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) to measure the flame temperatures and molecular beam-mass spectrometry, LIF, or both, to measure the species concentrations. We assembled a detailed chemical mechanism containing 24 species and over 100 reactions and tested it by comparing our experimental profiles HN3, H2, O2, H2O, N2, NO, NH, and OH to those predicted by the PREMIX flame code. Our model predicts well the species profiles, except for HN3 and NO. Rate and sensitivity analyses reveal that the HN3 + OH = N3 + H2O reaction is important in HN3 consumption and NO production, and we provide a revised rate expression for this reaction that is consistent with our experimental results.

Characteristic morphologies led to the development of field indicators for hydric soil identification and delineation. This study examined soils not meeting approved field indicators. These included high-chroma sandy soils, dark sandy soils, and marl soils located in Michigan. All soils displayed high water tables within 25 cm (10 in) of the surface for a minimum of 14 consecutive days. Indicator of reduction in soils (IRIS) tube data confirmed reducing conditions in wetland sites, with average Fe removal of 74%; only 4.8% removal was observed in uplands. Ten of 11 soils examined met the hydric soil technical standard (HSTS). Results indicate that two additional field indicators (S7-Dark surface and F10-Marl) should be approved in the region. Soil chemical data examined the development of hydric soil morphologies. Laboratory incubations monitored the formation of low-chroma colors with artificial C substrate in high-chroma sands. This work expands the range of accepted field indicators and provides a case study for applying the HSTS to problematic soil situations.

We evaluated the effects of three incision locations on transmitter loss, healing, survival, growth, and suture retention in juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. The three incision locations were (1) on the linea alba (LA incision), (2) adjacent and parallel to the LA (muscle-cutting [MC] incision), and (3) extending from the LA towards the dorsum at a 45° angle, between the parallel lines of myomeres (muscle-sparing [MS] incision). A Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System acoustic transmitter (0.44 g in air) and a passive integrated transponder tag (0.10 g in air) were implanted into each fish (total N = 936 fish). The fish were held at 12°C or 20°C and were examined weekly for 98 d. The progression of healing among incision locations and the variability in transmitter loss made it difficult to identify one incision location as the best choice. The LA incisions had a much smaller wound extent (area of visible subepidermal tissue) than MC and MS incisions during the first 28 d of the study. In both temperature treatments, apposition of incisions through day 14 was better for LA incisions than for MC and MS incisions. However, MC and MS incisions were less likely than LA incisions to reopen over time and thus were less likely to allow transmitter loss through the incision.

The difference in susceptibility is attributed to the presence of carboxylesterase in mouse but not in human plasma. Our goal was to make a mouse lacking plasma carboxylesterase. We used homologous recombination to inactivate the carboxylesterase ES1 gene on mouse chromosome 8 by deleting exon S and by introdudng a frame shift for amino adds translated from exons 6 to 13. ESI-/- mice have no detectable carboxylesterase activity in plasma but have normal carboxylesterase adivity in tissues. Homozygous ESI -/- mice and wild-type littermates were tested for response to a nerve agent model compound (soman coumarin) at 3 mg/kg sc. This dose intoxicated both genotypes but was lethal only to ESI-/- mice. This demonstrated that plasma carboxylesterase proteds against a relatively high toxidty organophosphorus compound. The ESI-/- mouse should be an appropriate model for testing highly toxic nerve agents and for evaluating protection strategies against the toxidty of nerve agents.

The common practice is to use “simulants,” namely, analogous chemicals that closely resemble the CWAs but are less toxic, with the expectation that the results attained for simulants can be correlated to how the CWAs would perform. Simulants have been traditionally chosen by experts, by means of intuition, using similarity in one or more physical properties (such as vapor pressure or aqueous solubility) or in the molecular structural features (such as functional groups) between the stimulant and the CWA. This work is designed to automate the simulant identification process backed by quantitative metrics, by means of chemical similarity search software routinely used in pharmaceutical drug discovery. The question addressed here is: By the metrics of such software, how similar are traditional simulants to CWAs? That is, what is the numerical “distance” between each CWA and its customary simulants in the quantitative space of molecular descriptors? The answers show promise for finding close but less toxic simulants for the ever-increasing numbers of CWAs objectively and fast.

This study attempted to find a rapid, reliable, and simple method for the complete inactivation of a wide range of pathogens, including spores, vegetative bacteria, and viruses, while preserving microbial nucleic acid fragments suitable for PCRs and proteinaceous epitopes for detection by immunoassays. Formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and guanidium thiocyanate did not completely inactivate high titers of bacterial spores or viruses after 30 min at 21°C. Glutaraldehyde and sodium hypochlorite showed high microbicidal activity but obliterated the PCR or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detection of bacterial spores or viruses. High-level inactivation (more than 6 log10) of bacterial spores (Bacillus atrophaeus), vegetative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), an RNA virus (the alphavirus Pixuna virus), or a DNA virus (the orthopoxvirus vaccinia virus) was attained within 30 min at 21°C by treatment with either peracetic acid or cupric ascorbate with minimal hindrance of subsequent PCR tests and immunoassays. The data described here should provide the basis for quickly rendering field samples noninfectious for further analysis under lower-level containment and considerably lower cost.

Different vine abundance measures-stem counts vs. percent cover-had no effect on the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations made by either formula. Artificial increases and decreases to the woody vine stratum's minimum cover threshold of 5.0% also had no effect. However, in plots that contained borderline hydrophytic/nonhydrophytic vegetation, the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations made by the DR decreased significantly when vine indicator status was artificially increased (p = 0.048). The PI produced significantly fewer hydrophytic determinations in plots with nonhydric soils than in plots with hydric soils (p < 0.001). The DR produced large percentages (81.8-100%) of hydrophytic determinations, regardless of soil type. Plots in which the DR and the PI differed had many commonalities, including nonhydric soils, nonhydrophytic PI/hydrophytic DR values, borderline hydrophytic vegetation, and an odd number of dominant species. During wetland delineations, the PI should be used in plant communities with low-cover strata, high species richness, or a high frequency of hydrophytes.

Cynomolgus macaques, rhesus macaques, and African green monkeys were exposed to aerosolized ZEBOV to determine which species might be the most relevant model of the human disease. A petechial rash was noted on cynomolgus and rhesus macaques after fever onset but not on African green monkeys. Fever duration was shortest in rhesus macaques (62.7±16.3 h) and longest in cynomolgus macaques (82.7±22.3h) and African green monkeys (88.4±16.7h). Virus was first detectable in the blood 3 days after challenge; the level of viremia was comparable among all three species. Hematological changes were noted in all three species, including decreases in lymphocyte and platelet counts. Increased blood coagulation times were most pronounced in African green monkeys. Clinical signs and time to death in all three species were comparable to what has been reported previously for each species after parenteral inoculation with ZEBOV. These data will be useful in selection of an animal model for efficacy studies.

Plants were collected from Padilla Bay, Washington (northern) and Coos Bay, Oregon, USA (southern) and cultured together in experimental tanks at 3 salinities (5, 20 and 35) under saturating irradiance for 3 weeks. Subsequently, photosynthesis–irradiance (P vs. E curves) relationships for leaf segments from the two populations were assessed using an oxygen electrode system. We found no evidence for diel rhythms in either light saturated photosynthesis (P max) or dark respiration (R d). For the Padilla Bay population, P max ranged from 192 to 390μmol O2 gDW−1 h−1; for the Coos Bay population P max ranged from 226 to 774μmol O2 gDW−1 h−1. Photosynthetic maxima of the Coos Bay plants occurred at a salinity of 20, whereas salinity had no effect on the photosynthetic maxima of the Padilla Bay plants. There were significant differences in leaf tissue R d among salinity treatments but the two populations responded similarly to salinity. North American populations of Z. japonica are best adapted to intermediate salinities, displaying minimum R d rates, lower compensation irradiance, higher saturation irradiance, and greater P max rates at a salinity of 20. Additionally, the southern population may be better adapted to southward expansion along the Pacific Coast and changes associated with global climate change.

T1 - Avifauna richness enhanced in large, isolated urban parks JO - Landscape & Urban Planning JF - Landscape & Urban Planning Y1 - 2011/09/30/ VL - 102 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 215 EP - 225 SN - 01692046 AB - Abstract: Urbanization causes fragmentation creating “islands” of natural habitat. The resulting fragmented landscapes represent a challenge for migratory and resident species because of decreased connectivity among fragments. We examined the effects of urbanization on avifauna communities in remnant and restored parks in the greater St. Louis area (St. Louis), Missouri and Illinois, USA. St. Louis is located along the Mississippi flyway, a significant North American migratory bird route, and ranks second among the most sprawl-threatened large cities. We compiled bird assemblages for 20 parks and used multiple linear regressions and Akaike''s Information Criterion (AIC) to analyze seven potential predictors of species richness for breeding, migratory and wintering species: area, habitat diversity, external development within 1km and 5km buffers, internal developed areas, road length, and presence of water bodies. The best predictors of resident bird (i.e., breeding and wintering) species richness was park area and external developed area within 5km, a surrogate for isolation. We suspect that the high species richness in parks in heavily urbanized areas is explained by the parks’ relatively large size and the funneling of species to two large parks within the most urbanized areas of St. Louis. For migratory species, the best predictors were habitat diversity and developed area within the park. As development continues to transform natural habitat along important avian migratory flyways, urban planning that includes large, diverse natural areas within urbanized landscapes is key to conserving local and migratory avifauna diversity.

Direct testing of pollutant concentrations in exhaust gases provides the best basis for assessing the extent of these risks. However, these tests (i) are often conducted under stressed, rather than typical, operating conditions, (ii) may be limited in number and duration, and (iii) may be influenced by specific fuel-types and attributes of individual kilns. We report here on the results of more than 150 emissions-tests conducted of two kilns at a Portland cement manufacturing plant in Portugal. The tests measured various regulated metals and polychlorinated dibenzo(p)dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs). Stack-gas concentrations of pollutants were found to be highly variable, with standard deviations on the order of mean values. Emission rates of many pollutants were higher when coal was used as the main kiln fuel (instead of petroleum coke). Use of various supplemental fuels, however, had little effect on stack emissions, and few statistically significant differences were observed when hazardous waste was included in the fuel mix. Significant differences in emissions for some pollutants were observed between the two kilns despite their similar designs and uses of similar fuels. All measured values were found to be within applicable regulatory limits.

The method involves transfecting cells with test DNA and comparing the measured antigen expression to that generated with expression from known quantities of reference material DNA. The assay was adapted for performance under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines and was successfully utilized to perform potency testing in support of a Phase I study for two hantavirus DNA vaccines delivered by gene gun. The results from the potency assays conducted over a 24-month period using this method proved to be highly reproducible with high signal-to-noise ratios. The assay was also adapted to assess the in vitro potency and stability of a DNA vaccine for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus that will be delivered by electroporation. Our results indicate that this assay can be readily applied to support potency and stability testing of numerous DNA vaccines delivered by various methods, including multiagent vaccines.

T1 - Physical impact of waterjet-based sediment remediation on benthic organisms. JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 21 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 107 EP - 118 SN - 10515658 AB - Adding activated carbon to sediments has been shown to be an effective means of reducing the bioavailability of certain contaminants. The current state of the practice is to mechanically mix activated carbon to a target concentration of 3 percent at depths of approximately 30 cm using a rotovator or similar construction equipment. Waterjets have been used to cut hard material using a mixture of water and an abrasive. If activated carbon is substituted for the abrasive, waterjets have the potential to use surface injection as a replacement for mechanical mixing during sediment remediation. A perceived benefit of waterjet-based sediment remediation is that there may be a reduced potential for benthic organism mortality related to amendment delivery. A set of waterjet parameters were identified that have the potential to achieve amendment placement goals, and a series of waterjet tests were conducted to evaluate the potential impact on the benthic community. The tests included mortality testing using a swimming macroinvertebrate and a burrowing invertebrate, benthic artifacts such as shells, and craft foam as a surrogate for living organisms. The results indicated that the immediate survivability was typically greater than 50 percent, and that empirical relationships between two variables (waterjet nozzle diameter and the water column height between the nozzle and the target) and the depth of cut in the foam could be established. Data are not available in the literature for direct comparison of organism survivability immediately after mechanical mixing, but the results of this study provide motivation for the further evaluation of waterjets on the basis of the low observed mortality rates. Future waterjet work may address field-scale characterization of mixing effectiveness, resuspension potential, technical feasibility, and cost. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

While propagating through a vegetative medium, microwave signals suffer from reflection, absorption, and scattering within vegetation, which cause signal attenuation and, consequently, deteriorate signal reception and information interpretation. A Fresnel zone enveloping the radio frequency line-of-sight is applied to segment vegetation structure occluding signal propagation. Return parameters and the spatial distribution of vegetation from the airborne LiDAR inside Fresnel zones are used to weight the laser points to estimate directional vegetation structure. A Directional Vegetation Density (DVD) model is developed through regression that links the vegetation structure to the signal attenuation at the L-band using GPS observations in a mixed forest in North Central Florida. The DVD model is compared with currently-used empirical models and obtained better R 2 values of 0.54 than the slab-based models. Finally, the model is evaluated by comparing with GPS observations of signal attenuation. An overall root mean square error of 3.51dB and a maximum absolute error of 9.38dB are found. Sophisticated classification algorithms and full-waveform LiDAR systems may significantly improve the estimation of signal attenuation.

Rapid, repeatable assessment techniques are needed in order to gauge the condition of these stream systems. Several attributes of these headwater streams constrain the use of the most widely used macroinvertebrate or water quality stream assessment techniques. The hydrogeomorphic (HGM) functional assessment is a reference-based alternative technique. To evaluate this alternative, repeated assessments were conducted in eight high-gradient headwaters in West Virginia by four independent teams. Across-site and measurement variance among teams was assessed using a coefficient of variation (CV, expressed as percent). A variability of >50% CV, which suggests less repeatable results, occurred in only 13.8% of measurements, primarily associated with 2 of the 9 variables examined (snag density and substrate size). Between site measurement variance was the greatest at more highly disturbed sample locations, particularly with regard to the large woody debris, tree species richness, and channel bank erosion variables. Variables with the lowest CV were tree diameter, detrital cover, canopy cover, and channel embeddedness. Based on these results, measurements included when applying HGM approach to these streams should focus on direct measurements or directed estimates that yield a large response range across a spectrum of sites while maintaining consistent repeatability among different teams, with special attention paid to their use in highly disturbed sites.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 140 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1186 EP - 1192 SN - 00028487 AB - Reductions in the size of acoustic transmitters implanted in migrating juvenile salmonids have resulted in the use of a shorter incision-one that may warrant only a single suture for closure. However, it is not known whether a single suture will sufficiently hold the incision closed when fish are decompressed and when outward pressure is placed on the surgical site during turbine passage through hydroelectric dams. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of single-suture incision closures on five response variables in juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha that were subjected to simulated turbine passage. An acoustic transmitter (0.43 g in air) and a passive integrated transponder tag (0.10 g in air) were implanted in each fish; the 6-mm incisions were closed with either one suture or two sutures. After exposure to simulated turbine passage, none of the fish exhibited expulsion of transmitters. In addition, the percentage of fish with suture tearing, incision tearing, or mortal injury did not differ between treatments. Expulsion of viscera through the incision was higher among fish that received one suture (12%) than among fish that received two sutures (1%). The higher incidence of visceral expulsion through single-suture incisions warrants concern. Consequently, for cases in which tagged juvenile salmonids may be exposed to turbine passage, we do not recommend the use of one suture to close 6-mm incisions associated with acoustic transmitter implantation.

Navigation improvement needs were identified within the broad study along with actions to restore aquatic and riparian ecological resources to a higher state of sustainability. The actions were identified via an Expert Elicitation Process (EEP) involving aquatic and riparian/terrestrial experts knowledgeable of Ohio River resources. The received information was synthesized into goals for the selected resources (Valued Ecosystem Components — or VECs), actions or measures to attain the goals, and monitoring to evaluate conditions. Finally, 26 types of ES actions were identified and classified into three ES alternatives. These alternatives were then evaluated relative to key decision criteria, and such evaluations, based on pertinent decision criteria, were also conducted for four navigation improvement alternatives. Finally, the best combination of ES and navigation alternatives was identified. The key lessons derived from this use of EEP were that: (1) EEP can support the preliminary identification of ES measures; however, more detailed study of specific designs and cost evaluations will be necessary; (2) the method promotes collaboration between key scientists and policymakers from governmental agencies and private sectors, and such collaboration will ultimately provide the foundation for implementation of sustainability actions; and (3) an effective EEP does not occur by accident, it requires careful planning, implementation, and documentation.

T1 - Movements and home ranges of white-tailed deer in response to roadside fences. JO - Wildlife Society Bulletin JF - Wildlife Society Bulletin Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 282 EP - 290 SN - 00917648 AB - Although roadside fences have been proven effective at reducing deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs), information on how these fences alter deer behavior is lacking. We evaluated the effects of a traditional and a novel fencing design, constructed alongside a roadway, on movements and home ranges of white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus). From January to April 2009, we fitted 14 adult female deer with Global Positioning System collars, programmed to collect ≥24 locations/day. In June 2009 we constructed a 3.2-km fence that included a 1.6-km section of 2.4-m vertical-wire fence and a 1.6-km section of a prototype outrigger fence (i.e., 0.6 m, shade-cloth [50% opaque plastic sheeting] on a 45° outrigger angled toward the deer attached to the top of a 1.2 m, vertical-wire fence). We retrieved collars between January and March 2010. We compared home ranges, fence crossings, and fence circumventions among deer that encountered the outrigger and 2.4-m fences as well as for deer that encountered neither fence (i.e., controls), before and after fence construction. Actual crossings of the fence area were reduced, postconstruction, by 98% and 90% for the 2.4 m and outrigger treatment groups, respectively, suggesting that the fences were sufficiently effective to simulate how deer respond to roadside barriers. Deer with pretreatment home ranges that approached or encompassed the fence endings maintained a high degree of site fidelity by circumventing the endings. This study highlights the importance of incorporating information on deer behavior and resource usage into DVC-reduction strategies. If these factors are not accounted for, DVC frequency will likely stay the same, or increase, near fence endings. Thus, roadside fences should likely end at natural barriers to deer movements (i.e., heavy development) or incorporate some means of safe crossing into their endings. © 2011 The Wildlife Society.

JO - Geophysical Journal International JF - Geophysical Journal International Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 186 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 945 EP - 962 SN - 0956540X AB - SUMMARY We apply the Bammann inelastic internal state variable model (BIISV) to a mantle convection code TERRA2D to investigate the influence of a history dependent solid mechanics model on mantle convection. We compare and contrast the general purpose BIISV model to the commonly used power-law model. We implemented the BIISV model using a radial return algorithm and tested it against previously published mantle convection simulation results for verification. Model constants for the BIISV are used based on experimental stress-strain behaviour found in the literature. After implementation we give illustrative simulation examples were the BIISV produces hardened areas on the cold thermal boundary layer that the power-law model cannot produce. The hardened boundary layers divert material downward giving a plausible reason for the current subduction zones that are present on the Earth.

We use a one-dimensional BMC method that was proposed in 2009 by Rajabalinejad in order to develop a weighted logical dependence between successive Monte Carlo simulations. Our main objective in this research is to show that the extended BMC can dramatically improve simulation efficiency by using prior information from modelling and outcomes of preceding simulations. We provide theory and numerical algorithms for an extended BMC method for multi-dimensional problems, integrate it with a probabilistic finite element model and apply these coupled models to assessment of reliability of a flood defence for the 17th Street Flood Wall system in New Orleans. This is the first successful demonstration of the BMC method to a complex system. We provide a comparison of the numerical efficiency for the BMC, Monte Carlo (MC) and Dynamic Bounds methods that are used in reliability assessment of complex infrastructures.

Ammonium perchlorate is one of the main constituents in Army''s new main charge melt-pour energetic, PAX-21. In addition to ammonium perchlorate, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) are the major constituents of PAX-21. In order to evaluate microbial perchlorate reduction as a practical option for the treatment of perchlorate in PAX-21 wastewater, we conducted biodegradation experiments using glucose as the primary sources of electrons and carbon. Batch experiments showed that negligible perchlorate was removed in microbial reactors containing PAX-21 wastewater while control bottles containing seed bacteria and glucose rapidly and completely removed perchlorate. These results suggested that the constituents in PAX-21 wastewater may be toxic to perchlorate reducing bacteria. A series of batch toxicity test was conducted to identify the toxic constituents in PAX-21 and DNAN was identified as the primary toxicant responsible for inhibiting the activity of perchlorate reducing bacteria. It was hypothesized that pretreatment of PAX-21 by zero-valent iron granules will transform toxic constituents in PAX-21 wastewater to non-toxic products. We observed complete reduction of DNAN to 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN) and RDX to formaldehyde in abiotic iron reduction study. After a 3-day acclimation period, perchlorate in iron-treated PAX-21 wastewater was rapidly decreased to an undetectable level in 2 days. This result demonstrated that iron treatment not only removed energetic compounds but also eliminated the toxic constituents that inhibited the subsequent microbial process.

JO - Journal of Infectious Diseases JF - Journal of Infectious Diseases Y1 - 2011/08/16/2011 Supplement 3 VL - 204 M3 - Article SP - S1043 EP - S1052 SN - 00221899 AB - The mechanisms of Ebola (EBOV) pathogenesis are only partially understood, but the dysregulation of normal host immune responses (including destruction of lymphocytes, increases in circulating cytokine levels, and development of coagulation abnormalities) is thought to play a major role. Accumulating evidence suggests that much of the observed pathology is not the direct result of virus-induced structural damage but rather is due to the release of soluble immune mediators from EBOV-infected cells. It is therefore essential to understand how the candidate therapeutic may be interrupting the disease process and/or targeting the infectious agent. To identify genetic signatures that are correlates of protection, we used a DNA microarray-based approach to compare the host genome-wide responses of EBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) responding to candidate therapeutics. We observed that, although the overall circulating immune response was similar in the presence and absence of coagulation inhibitors, surviving NHPs clustered together. Noticeable differences in coagulation-associated genes appeared to correlate with survival, which revealed a subset of distinctly differentially expressed genes, including chemokine ligand 8 (CCL8/MCP-2), that may provide possible targets for early-stage diagnostics or future therapeutics. These analyses will assist us in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of EBOV infection and in identifying improved therapeutic strategies.

The syringe contained Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) mixed with Freund's adjuvant. Neither an approved treatment nor a postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) exists for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Following a risk-benefit assessment, it was recommended the exposed person take an experimental vaccine that had shown PEP efficacy in ZEBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) [12]. The vaccine, which had not been used previously in humans, was a live-attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (recVSV) expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV. A single dose of 5 × 107 plaque-forming units was injected 48 hours after the accident. The vaccinee developed fever 12 hours later and recVSV viremia was detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 2 days. Otherwise, the person remained healthy, and ZEBOV RNA, except for the glycoprotein gene expressed in the vaccine, was never detected in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the 3-week observation period.

In this paper, conditions under which bed exchange in turbulent flows collectively determines the concentration of suspended matter have been examined in the heuristic sense based on selective experimental data. It is argued that interpretation of such data can be significantly facilitated when multi-class representation of particle size, collisional interaction between suspended particles and probabilistic representations of the bed shear stress along with variables describing particle behavior (critical shear stress for deposition, bed floc shear strength) are taken into account. Aggregation—floc growth and breakup kinetics—brings about shifts in the suspended particle size distribution; bed exchange is accordingly modulated and this in turn determines concentration dynamics. Probabilistic representation of the governing variables broadens the suspended sediment size spectrum by increasing the possibilities of inter-particle interactions relative to the mean-value representation. Simple models of bed exchange, which essentially rely on single-size assumption and mean-value representation of variables, overlook the mechanistic basis underpinning particle dynamics.

Maps depicting relative change in phase and the theoretical relative change in SWE between satellite acquisitions are created for 3-day periods at the end of March 1994 using both ascending and descending ERS-1 overpasses. The theoretical coefficient relating relative change in phase and relative change in SWE for C-band is found to be at least twice as large as what is expected when using a simple single-layer snow model for this study area and time period. Without any direct measurements of SWE on the ground, station measurements of snow depth and hourly wind are linked to each 3-day relative change in phase map. Along with a qualitative assessment, quantitative measures of the rate and magnitude of phase change around these stations are directly compared to the hourly wind data for a given 3-day period. InSAR-derived maps acquired around a measured precipitation event show a considerable relationship to the predominant direction of strong winds over each 3-day period while maps acquired around no measureable precipitation depict much less correlation between phase change and predominant direction of strong winds. Despite limited ground measurements to infer snowpack conditions, these results show continued promise for the InSAR technique to measure changes in snowpack conditions (e.g. SWE) at much higher resolutions than manual sampling methods or passive microwave remote sensing. The extension of this technique to current L-band InSAR satellite platforms is also discussed.

JO - Journal of Biochemical & Molecular Toxicology JF - Journal of Biochemical & Molecular Toxicology Y1 - 2011/07// VL - 25 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 252 EP - 262 SN - 10956670 AB - Bromine is an industrial chemical that can cause severe cutaneous burns. This study was a preliminary investigation into the effect of cutaneous exposure to bromine vapor using a weanling swine burn model and microarray analysis. Ventral abdominal sites were exposed to a mean calculated bromine vapor concentration of 0.69 g L−1 for 10 or 20 min. At 48 h postexposure, total RNA from skin samples was isolated, processed, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Porcine Genome Arrays. Expression analysis revealed that bromine vapor exposure for 10 or 20 min promoted similar transcriptional changes in the number of significantly modulated probe sets. A minimum of 83% of the probe sets was similar for both exposure times. Ingenuity pathways analysis revealed eight common biological functions among the top 10 functions of each experimental group, in which 30 genes were commonly shared among 19 significantly altered signaling pathways. Transcripts encoding heme oxygenase 1, interleukin-1β, interleukin 2 receptor gamma chain, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 were identified as common potential therapeutic targets for Phase II/III clinical trial or FDA-approved drugs. The present study is an initial assessment of the transcriptional responses to cutaneous bromine vapor exposure identifying molecular networks and genes that could serve as targets for developing therapeutics for bromine-induced skin injury. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/07//7/1/2011 VL - 45 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 5696 EP - 5703 SN - 0013936X AB - Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a novel thermal conversion process that can be used to convert municipal waste streams into sterilized, value-added hydrochar. HTC has been mostly applied and studied on a limited number of feedstocks, ranging from pure substances to slightly more complex biomass such as wood, with an emphasis on nanostructure generation. There has been little work exploring the carbonization of complex waste streams or of utilizing HTC as a sustainable waste management technique. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the environmental implications associated with the carbonization of representative municipal waste streams (including gas and liquid products), to evaluate the physical, chemical, and thermal properties of the produced hydrochar, and to determine carbonization energetics associated with each waste stream. Results from batch carbonization experiments indicate 49-75% of the initially present carbon is retained within the char, while 20-37% and 2-11% of the carbon is transferred to the liquid- and gas-phases, respectively. The composition of the produced hydrochar suggests both dehydration and decarboxylation occur during carbonization, resulting in structures with high aromaticities. Process energetics suggest feedstock carbonization is exothermic.

The research examined the need for such a report and focused the design on the determined need and communication through visual display. The designed “Individual Health Report (IHR)” was evaluated using data obtained from an online survey developed for this research. The analysis involved t-tests, McNemar’s tests, linear regression and ANOVA. Results included the finding that the IHR significantly improved respondent’s ability to correctly answer questions about their health status and preventive health in general (p < 0.0001, n = 61). The study also showed that introduction of the IHR by healthcare providers would significantly improve the respondents’ view that they get the preventive healthcare information they need to make appropriate decisions (p = 0.0007, n = 61). In an era when costs of healthcare are of great concern and prevention is starting to gain traction as compared to strictly treatment, an IHR could be a very practical and beneficial step toward prevention focused healthcare. An IHR could be considered as a tool to provide increased public awareness of health status, with resulting gains in proactive and effective health management choices. Relevance to Industry: Degraded health and associated healthcare costs are of significant concerns to industry performance and profits. As several references highlighted in this research have indicated, a lack of health literacy and awareness of critical health indicators are significant concerns in helping employees to manage their own health status. From an economic and societal perspective, it may be considered cost effective for employers to work with healthcare providers to support presentation of employee health status and results of recent healthcare evaluations by means of an IHR. An IHR of the type tested in this research can be seen to both provide clear and understandable health status information, and improve health literacy, for wide sections of the population. Presenting employee information via this type of IHR can effectively supplement healthcare information delivered by healthcare providers. The IHR tested in this research represents a form of clear information presentation and visualization that overcomes issues of jargon that degrades communication between healthcare providers and employees.

For the 0- to 5-cm depth of a corn (Zea mays L.)--soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] soil in Iowa, we extracted in sequence the light fraction, two size fractions of particulate organic matter (POM), and two NaOH-extractable humic acid fractions based on their binding to soil Ca2+: the unbound mobile humic acid fraction and the calcium humate fraction. Whole SOM was obtained by dissolving the soil mineral component through HF washes. All samples were analyzed by advanced 13CNMR techniques, including quantitative direct polarization/magic angle spinning, spectral-editing techniques, and two-dimensional ¹H-13C heteronuclear correlation NMR. The NMR spectra were comparable for the light fraction and two POM fractions and were dominated by carbohydrates and to a lesser extent lignins or their residues, with appreciable proteins or peptides. By contrast, spectra of the two humic fractions were dominated by aromatic C and COO/N-C=O groups, with smaller proportions of carbohydrates and NCH/OCH3 groups, indicative of more humified material. This trend was yet more pronounced in the calcium humate fraction. The spectrum for whole SOM had signals intermediate between these two groups of SOM fractions, suggesting contributions from both groups. Our results for this soil suggest that either chemical or physical fractions alone will partially represent whole SOM, and their integrated use is likely to provide greater insight into SOM structure and possibly function, depending on the research issue.

Core viral functions are conserved among orthopoxviruses, and consequently Vaccinia is routinely used to study poxvirus biology and screen for novel antiviral compounds. Here we describe the development of a series of fluorescent protein-based reporter Vaccinia viruses that provide unprecedented resolution for tracking viral function. The reporter viruses are divided into two sets: (1) single reporter viruses that utilize temporally regulated early, intermediate, or late viral promoters; and (2) multi-reporter viruses that utilize multiple temporally regulated promoters. Promoter and reporter combinations were chosen that yielded high signal-to-background for stage-specific viral outputs. We provide examples for how these viruses can be used in the rapid and accurate monitoring of Vaccinia function and drug action.

For a field test in a trichloroethene (TCE) source area, combining moderate-temperature subsurface electrical resistance heating with in situ ZVI treatment was shown to accelerate TCE treatment by a factor of about 4 based on organic daughter products and a factor about 8 based on chloride concentrations. A mass-discharge-based analysis was used to evaluate reaction, dissolution, and volatilization processes at ambient groundwater temperature (∼10 °C) and as temperature was increased up to about 50 °C. Increased reaction and contaminant dissolution were observed with increased temperature, but vapor- or aqueous-phase migration of TCE out of the treatment zone was minimal during the test because reactions maintained low aqueous-phase TCE concentrations.

According to the author, the emergence of novel materials, technologies and environmental stressors in the marketplace and the public consciousness necessitates an approach to environmental health and safety that integrates life-cycle thinking, public participation and adaptive management strategies. An overview of the four processes involved in MCDA, which is a method used in a complicated or uncertain decision-making process to improve understanding, the limitations of risk analysis and what an integrated process would look like is presented.

Carboxyumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (CUGlcU) is a fluorescent labeled glucuronide that is soluble and highly fluorescent at natural water pHs and temperatures and, therefore, may be an ideal reagent for use in an in situ optical sensor. This paper reports for the first time the Michaelis–Menten kinetic parameters for the binding of E. coli GUS with CUGlcU as K m =910μM, V max =41.0μMmin−1, V max/K m 45.0μmolL−1 min−1, the optimal pH as 6.5±1.0, optimal temperature as 38°C, and the Gibb''s free energy of activation as 61.40kJmol−1. Additionally, it was found CUGlcU hydrolysis is not significantly affected by heavy solvents suggesting proton transfer and solvent addition that occur during hydrolysis are not limiting steps. Comparison studies were made with the more common fluorescent molecule methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (MUGlcU). Experiments showed GUS preferentially binds to MUGlcU in comparison to CUGlcU. CUGlcU was also demonstrated in a prototype optical sensor for the detection of E. coli. Initial bench testing of the sensor produced detection of low concentrations of E. coli (1.00×103 CFU/100mL) in 230±15.1min and high concentrations (1.05×105 CFU/100mL) in 8.00±1.01min.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 31 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 603 EP - 611 SN - 02775212 AB - We examined disagreement among three methods used in the USA to make hydrophytic vegetation determinations during wetland delineations: the Dominance Ratio (DR), the Prevalence Index (PI), and the FAC-neutral Dominance Ratio (FN-DR). We had two objectives: to determine whether the number of dominant species in a plot affects the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations made by each of the three methods and, if so, to explain the mathematical origin of disagreements among the methods. We compared the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations produced when each method was applied to 200,000 simulations. The PI was the most consistent method for making hydrophytic vegetation determinations. We found that the DR is biased toward nonhydrophytic vegetation when there is an even number of dominant plant species in a plot; it is biased toward hydrophytic vegetation when there is an odd number of dominants. As the number of dominant species and strata increased, there were >20% more hydrophytic determinations made when we used DR than when we used PI. The FN-DR was also biased; it consistently produced fewer hydrophytic determinations than the other methods. When the DR disagrees with hydric soil and hydrology indicators, delineators should re-examine vegetation using the plot-based PI approach.

Field testing conducted at 232 locations evaluated Regional Supplements to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. These documents are used for wetland delineation by regulatory agencies and resource managers. Wetland delineations compared 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual guidance to Regional Supplement guidance. Supplement testing occurred in 37 States. This document examines changes in the wetland boundary, wetland delineation factors (vegetation, soils, and hydrology), problem situations, and comments provided by field teams. The wetland boundary did not change at 83% (192 sites) of locations. Where the boundary differed, wetland delineation based on Supplement guidance resulted in larger wetland in 12% (28 sites) of cases, while 1987 Manual guidance resulted in a larger wetland in 5% (12 sites) of cases. Changes in the boundary were reported at 25 locations and produced a mean increase of 5.8 m (median 4.6 m). Atypical or problem situations were reported at 22% (51 sites) of the sites examined. Supplement guidance was clear and easily applied at 84% (195 sites) of locations. Teams reported Supplement guidance as more defensible at 79% (183 sites) of locations compared to the 1987 Manual.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 21 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 7 EP - 38 SN - 10515658 AB - The US Sustainable Remediation Forum (SURF) created this Framework to enable sustainability parameters to be integrated and balanced throughout the remediation project life cycle, while ensuring long-term protection of human health and the environment and achieving public and regulatory acceptance. Parameters are considerations, impacts, or stressors of environmental, social, and economic importance. Because remediation project phases are not stand-alone entities but interconnected components of the wider remediation system, the Framework provides a systematic, process-based approach in which sustainability is integrated holistically and iteratively within the wider remediation system. By focusing stakeholders on the preferred end use or future use of a site at the beginning of a remediation project, the Framework helps stakeholders form a disciplined planning strategy. Specifically, the Framework is designed to help remediation practitioners (1) perform a tiered sustainability evaluation, (2) update the conceptual site model based on the results of the sustainability evaluation, (3) identify and implement sustainability impact measures, and (4) balance sustainability and other considerations during the remediation decision-making process. The result is a process that encourages communication among different stakeholders and allows remediation practitioners to achieve regulatory goals and maximize the integration of sustainability parameters during the remediation process. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We exposed the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) to the weak estrogen octylphenol from Nieuwkoop–Faber (NF) stage 46 tadpoles through adulthood in order to document the effects of a weak estrogen on the life history of an amphibian species. Frogs were exposed to 1, 3.3, 11 and 36μg/L octylphenol in a continuous flow-through water system. Just prior to completion of metamorphosis (NF 65), a random subsample of froglets was collected and assessed, while the remaining frogs received continued exposure through 31weeks of exposure when the remaining animals were sampled. Significant induction of the female egg yolk protein precursor vitellogenin was observed in the high treatment at the larval subsampling for both males and females, but not at the final sampling for either sex. No significant deviation from the control sex ratio was observed for either sampling period, suggesting minimal to no effect of octylphenol exposure on gonad differentiation. No effects in the adult frogs were observed for mortality, body mass and size, liver somatic index, estradiol and testosterone serum levels, sperm counts, or oocyte counts. The development and growth of oviducts, a female-specific secondary sex characteristic, was observed in males exposed to octylphenol. These results indicate that octylphenol exposure can induce vitellogenin in immature froglets and the development of oviducts in male adult frogs. The lack of effect observed on the developing gonads suggests that in amphibians, secondary sex characteristics are more susceptible to impact from estrogenic compounds than the developing gonads.

Entrapment of E. coli by PSP was directly observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) after E. coli and PSP were incubated together in water for 24 h at 35 °C. Entrapment coefficient was proposed for the first time to reflect the ability of PSP to entrap E. coli and was estimated as 1.4 × 103 CFU/mg PSP under our experimental conditions. Ultrasonication (20 kHz) of different E. coli-PSPs solutions showed that the entrapped E. coli cells were protected by PSP from ultrasonication and the unentrapped cells were not. However, the protection of entrapped E. coli cells gradually decreased as ultrasonication proceeded, suggesting the ability of power ultrasonication to deprotect the entrapped E. coli cells. SEM studies suggested a two-step mechanism for ultrasonic (20 kHz) disinfection of entrapped E. coli: breakdown of the protective PSP refugia and disinfection of the exposed E. coli cells. This research will enable more informed decisions about disinfection of aqueous samples where porous PSP are present.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/05/15/ VL - 45 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4235 EP - 4241 SN - 0013936X AB - Ecological and human risks often drive the selection of remedial alternatives for contaminated sediments. Traditional human and ecological risk assessment (HERA) includes assessing risk for benthic organisms and aquatic fauna associated with exposure to contaminated sediments before and after remediation as well as risk for human exposure but does not consider the environmental footprint associated with implementing remedial alternatives. Assessment of environmental effects over the whole life cycle (i.e., Life Cycle Assessment, LCA) could complement HERA and help in selecting the most appropriate sediment management alternative. Even though LCA has been developed and applied in multiple environmental management cases, applications to contaminated sediments and marine ecosystems are in general less frequent. This paper implements LCA methodology for the case of the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans (PCDD/F)-contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway. LCA was applied to investigate the environmental footprint of different active and passive thin-layer capping alternatives as compared to natural recovery. The results showed that capping was preferable to natural recovery when analysis is limited to effects related to the site contamination. Incorporation of impacts related to the use of resources and energy during the implementation of a thin layer cap increase the environmental footprint by over 1 order of magnitude, making capping inferior to the natural recovery alternative. Use of biomass-derived activated carbon, where carbon dioxide is sequestered during the production process, reduces the overall environmental impact to that of natural recovery. The results from this study show that LCA may be a valuable tool for assessing the environmental footprint of sediment remediation projects and for sustainable sediment management.

The metalloid antimony (Sb), commonly associated with Pb in the environment, exists as either a neutral species or a negatively charged oxyanion. Antimony is used in the manufacture of bullets as a hardening agent, constituting approximately 3% of the bullet mass. Technological solutions to reduce the migration of metals from small arms firing range (SAFR) soils for environmental compliance purposes must be robust with respect to multi-component systems containing both cationic and anionic contaminants. The effect of varying physico-chemical soil properties on Sb mobility post-firing was assessed in this study for six soil types using common analytical protocols and methods related to regulatory criteria. The sands (SM and SP) demonstrated the greatest Sb solubility in post-firing leachate samples and therefore were selected to evaluate the effects of five commercially available stabilization amendments on Sb mobility. Enhanced Sb leaching was experimentally confirmed in the phosphate-treated soils compared to both the untreated control soil and the sulfur-based amendment, and thus suggests competition for negative sorption sites between Sb and phosphate. However, the 5% Buffer Block® calcium phosphate amendment did not exhibit the same enhanced Sb release. This can be attributed to the inclusion of aluminum hydroxide in the amendment composition. Technologies are needed that will adequately immobilize Pb without mobilizing oxyanions such as Sb. Further research will be required to elucidate binding mechanisms and redox conditions that govern the mobility of Sb on SAFRs.

In late December 2007, an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis occurred in Nimroz Province of southern Afghanistan. Of the 83 probable cases of illness, 17 died (case fatality 20·5%). Being a case was associated with consumption or handling of camel meat (adjusted odds ratio 4·4, 95% confidence interval 2·2–8·8, P<0·001). Molecular testing of patient clinical samples and of tissue from the camel using PCR/electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry revealed DNA signatures consistent with Yersinia pestis. Confirmatory testing using real-time PCR and immunological seroconversion of one of the patients confirmed that the outbreak was caused by plague, with a rare gastrointestinal presentation. The study highlights the challenges of identifying infectious agents in low-resource settings; it is the first reported occurrence of plague in Afghanistan.

JO - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Y1 - 2011/05// VL - 140 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 570 EP - 581 SN - 00028487 AB - A specially designed net was used to study fish entrainment and injury through towboat propellers in 13 pools of the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers. The net was attached to the stern of a 48.8-m-long towboat with twin propellers (in Kort propulsion nozzles), and sampling typically took place while the towboat pushed 15 loaded barges upstream at a time. In total, 254 entrainment samples over 894 km of the 13 study pools were collected. The sampling efforts produced 16,005 fish representing 15 families and at least 44 species; fish ranged in total length from 3 to 123 cm, but only 12.5-cm or longer fish were analyzed because smaller fish could escape through the mesh of the trawl. Clupeidae (68% of total catch) and Sciaenidae (21%) were the dominant families. We detected no effects of towboat operation variables (speed and engine [i.e., propeller] revolutions per minute [RPM]) on entrainment rate (i.e., fish/km), but entrainment rate showed a wedge-shaped distribution relative to hydraulic and geomorphic characteristics of the channel. Entrainment rate was low (<1 fish/km) in wide sections of the river, deep water, and swift current (or time periods characterized by faster flow); however, entrainment in narrow sections with shallow, slow water was highly variable and occasionally reached high levels (>30 fish/km). Although total entrainment rate was not related to engine RPM, the probability of being struck by a propeller increased with fish length and engine RPM. Limits on engine RPM in narrow, shallow, and sluggish reaches could reduce entrainment impact, particularly for large-bodied fish.

As such, they play important roles in the dispersal of fluvial sediment and the transport of sand to and from the shoreline. This study focused on the nearshore of Poverty Bay, New Zealand, and the processes controlling the dispersal of sediment from the main source, the Waipaoa River. Hydrodynamics and sediment-transport in water shallower than 15m were observed from April through mid-September 2006. This deployment afforded observations during 3–4 periods of elevated river discharge and 5 dry storms. Similar wind, river discharge, wave, current, and turbidity patterns were characterized during three of the wet storms. At the beginning of each event, winds blew shoreward, increasing wave heights to 2–3m within Poverty Bay. As the cyclonic storms moved through the system the winds reversed direction and became seaward, reducing the local wave height and orbital velocity while river discharge remained elevated. At these times, high river discharge and relatively small waves enabled fluvially derived suspended sediment to deposit in shallow water. Altimetry measurements indicated that at least 7cm was deposited at a 15m deep site during a single discharge event. Turbidity and seabed observations showed this deposition to be removed, however, as large swell waves from the Southern Ocean triggered resuspension of the material within three weeks of deposition. Consequently, two periods of dispersal were associated with each discharge pulse, one coinciding with fluvial delivery, and a second driven by wave resuspension a few weeks later. These observations of nearfield sediment deposition contradict current hypotheses of very limited sediment deposition in shallow water offshore of small mountainous rivers when floods and high-energy, large wave and fast current, oceanic conditions coincide. Consistently shoreward near-bed currents, observed along the 10m isobath of Poverty Bay, were attributed to a combination of estuarine circulation, Stokes drift, and wind driven upwelling. Velocities measured at the 15m isobath, however, were directed more alongshore and diverged from those at the 10m isobath. The divergence in the currents observed at the 10 and 15m locations seemed to facilitate segregation of coarse and fine sediment, with sand transported near-bed toward the beach, while suspended silts and clays were exported to deeper water.

JO - North American Journal of Aquaculture JF - North American Journal of Aquaculture Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 73 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 180 EP - 186 SN - 15222055 AB - Hybrid catfish (female channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus × male blue catfish I. furcatus) can be obtained by induced spawning and artificial fertilization; the results, however, are variable. A threshold degree of maturity must be reached before broodfish can be induced to spawn, but selection of such fish can be very subjective. In the present study, female brood channel catfish were classified subjectively as poor, fair, or good as well as on the basis of body weight, total body length, body width and girth, and the ratios of these measurements. Brood females were held at 24, 26, and 28°C in 100-L aquaria and injected with synthetic analogues of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone at 20 μg/kg, followed 12 h later by an additional injection of 100 μg/kg. Data were collected regarding spawning success, time to egg release following injection, fecundity, egg diameter, hatching, and survival rates. For the population as a whole at all three temperatures the spawning rate was 73.8%, but among females that met certain selection criteria greater spawning rates occurred. Females with a length: body width value of less than 5.5 had a spawning rate of 88.9%, and those subjectively classified as good had a spawning rate of 85.7%. The temperature at which broodstock were held affected the spawning rate; females classified as fair and good had spawning rates of 52.9, 82.4, and 95.5% at 24, 26, and 28°C, respectively. Females classified as good spawned earlier than lesser-quality fish. Likewise, females with length: girth values of 1.8 or less or length: width values of 5.0 or less spawned sooner than females with higher values. Brood selection criteria also resulted in selected subsets with greater fecundities, larger egg diameters, and, in some cases, an overall greater production of swim-up fry per kilogram of female.

JO - North American Journal of Aquaculture JF - North American Journal of Aquaculture Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 73 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 159 EP - 163 SN - 15222055 AB - Aquaculturists have often suffered predation losses in the production of freshwater giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii due to the presence of wild fish species in culture ponds. The piscicide rotenone is widely used to remove undesirable fish species from ponds. Although evidence in the technical literature suggests that crustaceans generally have a higher tolerance to rotenone than fish, there are currently no data on the acute or chronic toxicity of rotenone to juvenile freshwater prawns. In this study, two static acute-toxicity bioassays (96 h) were conducted using Prentox Prenfish (5% active ingredient) rotenone to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) for juvenile freshwater prawns (average weight = 0.55 g, SD = 0.25; length = 41.43 mm, SD = 6.45). In bioassay 1, prawns were exposed to rotenone concentrations of 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/L. In bioassay 2, prawns were exposed to rotenone concentrations of 2.2, 3.6, 6.0, 10.0, and 16.7 mg/L. All rotenone concentrations used in the study were based on the total product of the commercial rotenone formulation. The LC50 calculated in bioassay 1 was 6.2 mg/L, and the LC50 calculated in bioassay 2 was 7.5 mg/L. Freshwater prawns were able to tolerate 3.0 to 3.6 mg/L of rotenone with no mortality or apparent adverse effects during the study. Prawns held at the end of each bioassay for 5 d showed no signs of delayed effects from rotenone exposure. Data from this study indicate that juvenile prawns should be able to tolerate the concentrations of rotenone required to eradicate certain problematic wild fish species.

This period has been marked by sudden swings from the geopolitical and military exploits of Nazi Germany to Soviet dominated communism and then to a free market democracy after the downfall of the Iron Curtain. Following the Soviet Union, the main geopolitical force and military player in this region is the United States of America. The question now arises, which direction is the geopolitical pendulum going to swing in the coming decades? One crucial test of these current developments was the planned deployment of the ground based mid-course defense system (GMD) that was proposed by the United States and supported by the governments of Poland and the Czech Republic. The objective of this research is to determine the current geopolitical atmosphere in Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic regarding the missile deployment and analyze additional factors that form public perception of current geopolitical status quo. As the results indicate, “the geopolitical pendulum” may swing again, but this time away from the United States towards more neutral ground.

Holocene alluvial landforms are intimately connected with the return of anadromous salmon, but the influence of the soils that occupy these landforms and support this important terrestrial–aquatic ecological coupling have not been examined in SDN studies. We used paleo-ecologic information, soil resource inventories and measurements of soil morphology to construct a soil-geomorphic model for alluvial landforms along salmon spawning channels on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, USA. Post-glacial sea-level rise, crustal uplift and subsidence combined with Holocene sediment deposition have formed alluvial terraces and floodplains along rivers on Prince of Wales Island. These alluvial landforms have soils that are mapped as Entisols (Tonowek soil series) and Spodosols (Tuxekan soil series). We propose a soil-geomorphic model where the Spodosols located on terraces are estimated to derive from sediments deposited after the stabilization of landscape approximately 8kybp to 6kybp. The stability of these soils is reflected through mature soil development with organic matter accumulation and podzolization. Our model identifies Entisols on floodplains developed from alluvial deposition in the latter Holocene that have soil morphologic features consistent with recent deposition and limited soil development. We used this soil-geomorphic model to test the hypothesis that the terrestrial end-member value commonly used to quantify nitrogen (N) loading on soils through stable isotope analysis differs by soil type and found that the two soil types had significantly different N isotopic (δ 15N) values more consistent with soil development than SDN loading. The use of a soil-geomorphic model provides a means to stratify alluvial landforms and constrain the natural variability encountered in studies of riparian nutrient cycles associated with the feedbacks between SDN and terrestrial ecosystems to improve estimates of the fate of SDN in soils and vegetation.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2011/03/15/ VL - 77 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2141 EP - 2152 SN - 00992240 AB - Cell-to-cell communication, or quorum sensing (QS), enables cell density-dependent regulation of bacterial gene expression which can be exploited for the autonomous-signal-guided expression of recombinant proteins (C. Y. Tsao, S. Hooshangi, H. C. Wu, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, Metab. Eng. 12:291-297, 2010). Earlier observations that the metabolic potential of Escherichia coli is conveyed via the QS signaling molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2) suggested that the capacity for protein synthesis could also be affected by AI-2 signaling (M. P. DeLisa, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, J. Bacteriol. 183:2918-2928, 2001). In this work, we found that simply adding conditioned medium containing high levels of AI-2 at the same time as inducing the synthesis of recombinant proteins doubled the yield of active product. We have hypothesized that AI-2 signaling "conditions" cells as a natural consequence of cell-to-cell communication and that this could tweak the signal transduction cascade to alter the protein synthesis landscape. We inserted luxS (AI-2 synthase) into vectors which cosynthesized proteins of interest (organophosphorus hydrolase [OPH], chloramphenicol acetyltrans- ferase [CAT], or UV-variant green fluorescent protein [GFPuv]) and evaluated the protein expression in luxS-deficient hosts. In this way, we altered the level of luxS in the cells in order to "tune" the synthesis of AI-2. We found conditions in which the protein yield was dramatically increased. Further studies demonstrated coincident upregulation of the chaperone GroEL, which may have facilitated higher yields and is shown for the first time to be positively regulated at the posttranscriptional level by AI-2. This report is the first to demonstrate that the protein synthesis capacity of E. coli can be altered by rewiring quorum sensing circuitry.

For TNT, the body residue of transformation product exceeded that of the parent compound by factors of 1, 8, and 16 for total aminonitrotoluenes, total extractable compounds, and total transformation products, respectively, with substantial bioaccumulation of both non-identified extractable and unextractable (i.e., tissue-bound), compounds. In comparison, the sum body residues of RDX and HMX transformation products were <4 times higher than for parent compounds. The concentrations of RDX and HMX and their transformation products were similar among liver, viscera (excluding liver), gills, and body remains (integument and muscles), while 46% of the TNT transformation products resided in the liver, and 64% of the parent compound was in the viscera.

For post-conflict Helmand to achieve security, it needs water to stabilize population movement, support a change from poppy cultivation to other crops, ensure food security, support public health and generate electricity. However, officials lack critical information that they need to make informed decisions about water, while counterinsurgency efforts and assistance programmes have overlooked the lead role that water can play.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 141 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 379 SN - 00223166 AB - The effects of dietary calcium (Ca) deficiency on skeletal integrity are well characterized in growing and mature mammals; however, less is known about Ca nutrition during the neonatal period. In this study, we examined the effects of neonatal Ca nutrition on bone integrity, endocrine hormones, and mesenchymal stem cell IMSC) activity. Neonatal pigs (24 ± 6 h of age) received either a Ca-adequate (1.2 g/100 g) or an ∼40% Ca-deficient diet for 18 d. Ca deficiency reduced (P < 0.05) bone flexural strength and bone mineral density without major differences in plasma indicators of Ca status. There were no meaningful differences in plasma Ca, phosphate (PO4), parathyroid hormone, or 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol due to Ca nutrition throughout the study. Calcium deficiency also reduced (P < 0.05) the in vivo proliferation of MSC by ∼50%. In vitro studies utilizing homologous sera demonstrated that MSC activity was affected (P < 0.05) by both the Ca status of the pig and the sera as well as by their interaction. The results indicate that neonatal Ca nutrition is crucial for bone integrity and suggest that early-life Ca restriction may have long-term effects on bone integrity via programming of MSC.

Site specific best management practices (BMP) are needed to curb erosion and sediment control and in turn, increase productivity of lands and sustain environmental quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of three different types of biodegradable erosion control blankets- fine compost, mulch, and 50–50 mixture of compost and mulch, for soil erosion control under field and laboratory-scale experiments. Quantitative analysis was conducted by comparing the sediment load in the runoff collected from sloped and tilled plots in the field and in the laboratory with the erosion control blankets. The field plots had an average slope of 3.5% and experiments were conducted under natural rainfall conditions, while the laboratory experiments were conducted at 4, 8 and 16% slopes under simulated rainfall conditions. Results obtained from the field experiments indicated that the 50–50 mixture of compost and mulch provides the best erosion control measures as compared to using either the compost or the mulch blanket alone. Laboratory results under simulated rains indicated that both mulch cover and the 50–50 mixture of mulch and compost cover provided better erosion control measures compared to using the compost alone. Although these results indicate that the 50–50 mixtures and the mulch in laboratory experiments are the best measures among the three erosion control blankets, all three types of blankets provide very effective erosion control measures from bare-soil surface. Results of this study can be used in controlling erosion and sediment from disturbed lands with compost mulch application. Testing different mixture ratios and types of mulch and composts, and their efficiencies in retaining various soil nutrients may provide more quantitative data for developing erosion control plans.

Critical water issues include supply, cost, and quality. Strategies are needed to mitigate any adverse affects. To develop these strategies, information was gathered from national watershed screenings and regional water budgets, including supply and demand data from regions containing Army installations. The information was then used to develop installation water-demand projections that look beyond the boundaries of an installation and out 30 years into the future to identify the potential for water scarcity. Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and Fort Bliss, Texas???New Mexico, were used as specific examples to illustrate the critical role that water plays in the future of Army installations. Fort Bragg is not likely to have water availability issues out to 2030, because it will be accessing municipal water supplies. Fort Bliss will likely face water availability issues because the aquifer from which it draws its potable water is being used by more and more other parties.Environmental Practice 12:366???376 (2010) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Environmental Practice is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Efficacy of non-toxic surfaces to reduce bioadhesion in terrestrial gastropods. JO - Pest Management Science JF - Pest Management Science Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 67 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 318 EP - 327 SN - 1526498X AB - Invasive species are described as the greatest threat to biodiversity, after habitat destruction and climate change, potentially imposing economic impacts and indigenous species impairment. Commonly applied chemical controls present the potential for legacy contamination and non-target organism injury. This study investigated the effects of different substrates and novel topographical surfaces on the behavioral and mechanical associations of the terrestrial gastropod Otala lactea. The gastropod preferentially aestivated on rough glass (61% increase, P < 0.01) relative to smooth glass but avoided a cross-patterned surface tessellation on silicone (82% reduction, P < 0.01) relative to smooth silicone. Significant deviations in turning behavior were found on the cross-patterned topographical surface and hydrophobic Teflon surfaces. The strongest correlation with gastropod adhesion strength to surfaces was found for surface elastic modulus ( R = 0.88, P = 0.03), followed by hydrophobicity ( R = − 0.71, P = 0.14), but no relationship with roughness ( P = 0.36). Preliminary data suggest surface roughness controlled aestivation behavior while elastic modulus (surface flexibility) controlled adhesion strength. In spite of greater adhesion to high-modulus materials, surface modulus was not a statistically significant controlling factor on gastropod aestivation preference. Understanding and exploiting the behavioral and mechanistic cues that organisms use while attaching to surfaces may lead to more environmentally benign control approaches.

In a prior survey of bacteria that colonize the rhesus macaque nasopharynx, performed at the Tulane National Primate Research Center, organisms of the Moraxella genus were isolated from animals with epistaxis, or “bloody nose syndrome.” They were biochemically identified as Moraxella catarrhalis, and cryopreserved. Another isolate was obtained from an epistatic cynomolgus macaque at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. Based on differences in colony and cell morphologies between rhesus and human M. catarrhalis isolates, we hypothesized that the nonhuman primate Moraxella might instead be a different species. Despite morphological differences, the rhesus isolates, by several biochemical tests, were indistinguishable from M. catarrhalis. Analysis of the cynomolgus isolate by Vitek 2 Compact indicated that it belonged to a Moraxella group, but could not differentiate among species. However, sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene from four representative rhesus isolates and the cynomolgus isolate showed closest homology to Moraxella lincolnii, a human respiratory tract inhabitant, with 90.16% identity. To examine rhesus macaques as potential hosts for M. catarrhalis, eight animals were inoculated with human M. catarrhalis isolates. Only one of the animals was colonized and showed disease, whereas four of four macaques became epistatic after inoculation with the rhesus Moraxella isolate. The nasopharyngeal isolates in this study appear uniquely adapted to a macaque host and, though they share many of the phenotypic characteristics of M. catarrhalis, appear to form a genotypically distinct species.

The microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which shows that they consist of small RDX crystals (∼0.1–1μm) uniformly and discretely dispersed in a binder. The microparticles were subsequently pressed to produce dense energetic materials which exhibited a markedly lower shock sensitivity. The low sensitivity was attributed to small crystal size as well as small void size (∼250nm). The method developed in this work may be suitable for the preparation of a wide range of insensitive explosive compositions.

The present study addresses this need through the development of the Employee Perceptions of Participatory Ergonomics Questionnaire (EPPEQ). The questionnaire is designed to assess five key components that are based on a review of the available literature: Employee Involvement, Knowledge Base, Managerial Support, Employee Support, and Strain related to ergonomic changes. In Phase 1, a sample of employees and ergonomists working at a manufacturing plant was used to develop and test an initial set of items. In Phase 2, data was collected from a nation-wide sample of employees representing a wide range of jobs and organizations to cross-validate the results from Phase 1. Phase 2 results indicate that the five EPPEQ subscales demonstrate sound convergent validity and are also correlated with traditional indicators of PE program success. Implications and uses of the EPPEQ are discussed.

JO - Biodiversity & Conservation JF - Biodiversity & Conservation Y1 - 2011/12// VL - 20 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 3251 EP - 3266 SN - 09603115 AB - Nonnative Lehmann lovegrass ( Eragrostis lehmanniana) has invaded large areas of the Southwestern United States, and its impact on native plants is not fully understood. Palmer's agave ( Agave palmeri), an important resource for many pollinators, is a key native plant potentially threatened by E. lehmanniana. Understanding potential impacts of E. lehmanniana on A. palmeri is critical for anticipating the future of the desert community where they coexist and for addressing management concerns about associated threatened and endangered species. Our study provides strong indications that E. lehmanniana negatively impacts A. palmeri in several ways. Areas of high E. lehmanniana abundance were associated with significantly lower densities and greater relative frequencies of small A. palmeri, suggesting that E. lehmanniana may exclude A. palmeri. There were no significant differences in species richness, abundance, or community composition when comparing flower associates associated with A. palmeri in areas of high and low E. lehmanniana abundance. However, we did find significantly lower connectedness within the pollination network associated with A. palmeri in areas with high E. lehmanniana abundance. Although E. lehmanniana forms thick stands that would presumably increase fire frequency, there was no significant association between E. lehmanniana and fire frequency. Interestingly, medium to high densities of A. palmeri were associated with areas of greater fire frequency. The complex ramifications of E. lehmanniana invasion for the long-lived A. palmeri and interlinked desert community warrant continued study, as these species are likely to continue to be found in close association due to their similar soil preferences.

The objective of this study was to examine the uptake of Cs+ by common structural materials in the presence of water by using batch experiments with nonradioactive cesium chloride (CsCl133) as a surrogate for the radionuclide. Uptake kinetics and adsorption isotherms of Cs+ were measured on a diverse set of building materials, as were the effects of pH on the sorption processes. The results showed that wood materials, metal filings, and organic building materials and supplies did not sorb significant amounts of Cs+, but red brick, concrete block, drop ceiling panels, and clay materials retained Cs+ strongly. Adsorption kinetics were fast, and sorption isotherms could be characterized as linear. The solution pH did not have a significant effect on Cs+ sorption.

Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (>1.0 in. in 3 h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin's land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas.

In the one-year bioassay, impacts were assessed by statistical comparisons of females from breeding groups reared in control or RDX-exposure conditions. The RDX had no significant effect on gonadosomatic index or condition factor assayed at 1 d and at one, three, six, nine, and 12 months. The liver-somatic index was significantly increased versus controls only at the 12-month timepoint. RDX had no significant effect on live-prey capture rates, egg production, or fertilization. RDX caused minimal differential-transcript expression with no consistent discernable effect on gene-functional categories for either brain or liver tissues in the one-year exposure. In the multigenerational assay, the effects of acute (96 h) exposure to RDX were compared in fish reared to the F2 generation in either control or RDX-exposure conditions. Enrichment of gene functions including neuroexcitatory glutamate metabolism, sensory signaling, and neurological development were observed comparing control-reared and RDX-reared fish. Our results indicated that exposure to RDX at a concentration representing the highest levels observed in the environment (0.83 mg/L) had limited impacts on genomic, individual, and population-level endpoints in fathead minnows in a one-year exposure.

JO - Journal of Hazardous, Toxic & Radioactive Waste JF - Journal of Hazardous, Toxic & Radioactive Waste Y1 - 2011/07// VL - 15 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 130 EP - 150 SN - 21535493 AB - This study presents the results of an extensive beneficial-use evaluation of 3/8-in. minus steel slag fines (SSF) to immobilize arsenic. Two primary sets of experiments were undertaken to assess (1) the ability of SSF to immobilize 100 mg/kg arsenite (As3+) and arsenate (As5+) in dredged material when blended with SSF, including slag cement doses (up to 2%) to determine if additional environmental polishing was necessary; and (2) the ability of SSF alone to immobilize each As species. Visually, the SSF materials resemble an AASHTO No. 9 (fine) aggregate, with a small fraction passing the No. 200 (0.075 mm) sieve. In order to establish the design parameters for deploying the slag media in geoenvironmental applications (soil blending, drainage, reactive trenches, and filters), the soil classification and grain-size distribution, specific gravity, loss on ignition (ash content), standard and modified Proctor compaction behavior, direct shear strength, and swell behavior of the SSF media were evaluated. Additionally, the following geochemical attributes of the SSF media were evaluated: bulk chemistry, mineralogy, pH, anion scan, total priority pollutant list (PPL) metals, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) leaching behavior for PPL metals. Arsenic thresholding studies were performed, in which the uptake of each As source on the SSF materials was evaluated. The SSF materials immobilized approximately 7,900 mg/kgAs3+ and 8,800 mg/kgAs5+, producing TCLP and SPLP concentrations less than 0.010 mg/L in three of four cases. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were used in combination with MINTEQ modeling to isolate the mechanisms responsible for the As immobilization in the SSF materials.

The amendments included granulated ferric oxide (GFO), granulated titanium dioxide (GTD), Pahokee peat soil (PPS), Gascoyne leonardite soil (GLS), Elliot silty loam soil (ESLS), calcium phosphate monobasic (CPM), and apatite II. The metal oxides and the organic soil amendments were applied at a dosage of 10%, and phosphates were applied at phosphorus to lead (P/Pb) molar ratio of 1.8. The experimental results indicated that GFO was superior to all materials tested for simultaneously stabilizing Cu, Pb, and W during the batch leaching tests. Flow-through column tests were conducted for one of the soil samples to test the effectiveness of GFO to immobilize Cu, Pb, and W. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, and W were significantly reduced in the effluent of the amended soil columns as compared with the control soil columns.

JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2011/07// VL - 7 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 400 EP - 403 SN - 15513777 AB - In the wake of the compound March 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima I nuclear power plant in Japan, international public dialogue has repeatedly turned to questions of the accuracy of current risk assessment processes to assess nuclear risks and the adequacy of existing regulatory risk thresholds to protect us from nuclear harm. We confront these issues with an emphasis on learning from the incident in Japan for future US policy discussions. Without delving into a broader philosophical discussion of the general social acceptance of the risk, the relative adequacy of existing US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) risk thresholds is assessed in comparison with the risk thresholds of federal agencies not currently under heightened public scrutiny. Existing NRC thresholds are found to be among the most conservative in the comparison, suggesting that the agency's current regulatory framework is consistent with larger societal ideals. In turning to risk assessment methodologies, the disaster in Japan does indicate room for growth. Emerging lessons seem to indicate an opportunity to enhance resilience through systemic levels of risk aggregation. Specifically, we believe bringing systemic reasoning to the risk management process requires a framework that (i) is able to represent risk-based knowledge and information about a panoply of threats; (ii) provides a systemic understanding (and representation) of the natural and built environments of interest and their dependencies; and (iii) allows for the rational and coherent valuation of a range of outcome variables of interest, both tangible and intangible. Rather than revisiting the thresholds themselves, we see the goal of future nuclear risk management in adopting and implementing risk assessment techniques that systemically evaluate large-scale socio-technical systems with a view toward enhancing resilience and minimizing the potential for surprise.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 30 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1366 EP - 1375 SN - 07307268 AB - Evaluation of dredged material for aquatic placement requires assessment of bioaccumulation potentials for benthic organisms using standardized laboratory bioaccumulation tests. Critical to the interpretation of these data is the assessment of steady state for bioaccumulated residues needed to generate biota sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) and to address control correction of day 0 contaminant residues measured in bioassay organisms. This study applied a novel performance reference compound approach with a pulse-chase experimental design to investigate elimination of a series of isotopically labeled polychlorinated biphenyl (C-PCBs) in the polychaete worm Nereis virens while simultaneously evaluating native PCB bioaccumulation from field-collected sediments. Results demonstrated that all C-PCBs, with the exception of C-PCB209 (> 80%), were eliminated by more than 90% after 28 d. The three sediment types yielded similar C-PCB whole-body elimination rate constants ( k) producing the following predictive equation: log k = − 0.09 × log K − 0.45. The rapid loss of C-PCBs from worms over the bioassay period indicated that control correction, by subtracting day 0 residues, would result in underestimates of bioavailable sediment residues. Significant uptake of native PCBs was observed only in the most contaminated sediment and proceeded according to kinetic model predictions with steady-state BSAFs ranging from 1 to 3 and peaking for congeners of log K between 6.2 and 6.5. The performance reference compound approach can provide novel information about chemical toxicokinetics and also serve as a quality check for the physiological performance of the bioassay organism during standardized bioaccumulation testing.

Grid outages can result in cascading infrastructure failures as well as security breaches and should be avoided. Adding redundancy and increasing reliability can require additional environmental, financial, logistical, and other considerations and resources. Uncertain scenarios consisting of emergent environmental conditions, regulatory changes, growth of regional energy demands, and other concerns result in further complications. Decisions on selecting energy alternatives are made on an ad hoc basis. The present work integrates scenario analysis and multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to identify combinations of impactful emergent conditions and to perform a preliminary benefits analysis of energy and environmental security investments for industrial and military installations. Application of a traditional MCDA approach would require significant stakeholder elicitations under multiple uncertain scenarios. The approach proposed in this study develops and iteratively adjusts a scoring function for investment alternatives to find the scenarios with the most significant impacts on installation security. A robust prioritization of investment alternatives can be achieved by integrating stakeholder preferences and focusing modeling and decision-analytical tools on a few key emergent conditions and scenarios. The approach is described and demonstrated for a campus of several dozen interconnected industrial buildings within a major installation.

After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 181 IS - 5 M3 - journal article SP - 463 EP - 468 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: After trauma, compartment syndrome of the extremities is a common, disabling, and-if managed suboptimally-lethal problem. Its treatment by surgical fasciotomy continues to be useful but controversial. The purpose of this survey is to measure survival and fasciotomy in a large trauma system to characterize trends and to determine if fasciotomy is associated with improved survival.Methods: We retrospectively surveyed data from a military trauma registry for U.S. casualties from 2001 to 2010. Casualties had extremity injury or extremity fasciotomy. We associated survival and fasciotomy.Results: Of 17,166 casualties in the total study, 19% (3,313) had fasciotomy and 2.8% (481) had compartment syndrome. Annual fasciotomy rates started at 0% (2001) and rose to 26% (2010). For all casualties, the survival rate initially was high (100%) but decreased steadily until its nadir (96.4%) in 2005. Thereafter, it increased to make a V-shaped trend with reversal occurring after fielding two interventions within the trauma system specifically for casualties at risk for fasciotomy-tourniquet use and a fasciotomy education program.Conclusions: Over a decade of war, the survival rate of extremity injured casualties was associated with two trauma system interventions-tourniquet usage and a fasciotomy education program. The current example of measuring implementation of initiatives may be useful as a model for future attempted improvements in health care.

A series of new laws and policies, promulgated in 1940-41, facilitated Marshall's desire to promote relatively younger men to posts of high responsibility, including that of division command. Under these policies, the mean age of division commanders dropped by nearly ten years between 1939 and 1943. Moreover, division commanders who actually led in combat were younger, as a group, than the officers who mobilized and trained divisions but never fought them. Officers who departed from division command, whether relieved or elevated to higher posts, generally were succeeded by younger men. Airborne divisions had the youngest commanders, on average, followed by the armored divisions and infantry divisions. The army's sole cavalry division to see combat and its only mountain division had the oldest commanders. All told, the Army employed 263 division commanders from 1 September 1939 to the cessation of hostilities in 1945. Of these, 141 commanded in combat, with a mean age of 50.16 years. These men manifested the balance between experience and youth that Marshall sought in his division commanders.

It starts with a brief examination of the historical background behind current Russian conscription policy, and later looks at contemporary Russian attitudes toward service and the institution of the army. Concerns regarding Russian national security posture and fiscal constraints are then addressed. Despite a shift in mentality among Russia's top leaders as to the orientation of their army's posture, real fiscal conditions limit the implementation of many reforms, including a shift to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment. Furthermore, the harsh conditions and sometimes criminal climate that populates Russian units serves as a real deterrent to attract qualified soldiers. Not only do current political sensitivities inhibit further reform, but also it is the culture amidst the army itself that needs modernization. For now, any transition to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment will depend on more favorable fiscal conditions and political will to transform age old Russian military climate into one founded on basic respect for others.

The processing of the data was conducted blind, i.e., without any prior knowledge of the targets. The problem is solved by formulating the scattering problem as a coefficient inverse problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation. The main new feature of this algorithm is its rigorously established global convergence property. Calculated values of dielectric constants are in a good agreement with material properties, which were revealed a posteriori.

However, research efforts on mine detection have generally emphasized sensor development, while less effort has been made to evaluate the effects of the environmental conditions in which the mines are placed. If the processes governing moisture and temperature distribution near the ground surface can be captured, sensor development and deployment can be more realistically tailored to particular operational scenarios and technologies. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the soil environment on landmine detection by studying the influence of the thermal boundary conditions at the land-atmosphere interface and the buried objects themselves on the spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture around shallow-buried objects. Two separate large tank experiments were performed with buried objects with different thermal properties. Experimental results were compared to results from a fully coupled heat and mass transfer numerical model. Comparison of experimental and numerical results suggests that the vapor enhancement factor used to adjust the vapor diffusive flux described based on Fick's law is not necessary under dry soil conditions. Data and simulations from this study show that the thermal signature of a buried object depends on the complex interaction among a soil's water content and its thermal and hydraulic properties. Simulated thermal and saturation contrasts were generally very different for a buried landmine than for other buried objects.

Today's wide-bandgap semiconductor-based power electronics have demonstrated a potential of operating above 400^\circC, however, they are still limited by packaging. Among the most promising alternatives is the Au–Sn eutectic solder, which has been widely used due to its excellent mechanical and thermal properties. However, the operating temperature of this metallurgical system is still limited to \sim250^\circC owing to its melting temperature of 280^\circC. Therefore, a high-temperature-resistant system is much needed, but without affecting the current processing temperature of \sim325^\circC, typically exhibited in most high-temperature Pb-free solders. In this paper, we present the development and characterization of a fluxless die-attach soldering process based on gold-enriched solid–liquid interdiffusion (SLID). A low-melting-point material (eutectic Au–Sn) is deposited in the face of a substrate, whereas a high-melting-point material, gold in this instance, is deposited in its mating substrate. Deposition of all materials was performed using a jet vapor deposition (JVD) equipment where thicknesses are controlled to achieve specific compositions in the mixture. Sandwiched coupons are isothermally processed in a vacuum reflow furnace for different reflow times. Postprocessed samples confirm the interdiffusion mechanism as evidenced by the formation of sound joints that prove to be thermally stable up to \sim490^\circC after the completion of the SLID process. Differential scanning calorimetry demonstrate the progression of the SLID process by quantifying the remaining low-melting-point constituent as a function of time and temperature, this serving as an indicator of the completion of the soldering process. Mechanical testing reveals a joint with shear strength varying from 39 to 45.5 MPa, demonstrating to be stable even after 500 h of isothermal aging. Moreover, these investigations successfully demonstrate the use of the Au–Sn SLID system and the JVD technology as potential manufacturing processes and as a lead-free die-attach technology.

Detailed comparisons are made on rotor thrust, control angles, power, and section loads to illustrate and understand unique aeromechanics phenomena in this regime. The analysis correctly predicts the thrust reversal with collective at high advance ratios. Rotor induced plus profile power is also reasonably well predicted with proper modeling of the shank. Airloads and structural loads correlation is fair. A significant underprediction of 2-per-revolution structural loads is observed.

Comparisons with available flight test data are provided for all of the predictions. The Hellos framework combines multiple solvers and multiple grid paradigms (unstructured and adaptive Cartesian) such that the advantages of each paradigm is preserved. Further, the software is highly automated for execution and designed in a modular fashion to minimize the burden on both the users and developers. The technical approach presented herein provides details of all of the participant modules and the interfaces used for their integration into the software framework. The results composed of sectional aerodynamic loading and wake visualizations are presented. Solution-based adapative mesh refinement, a salient feature of the Hellos framework, is explored for all flight conditions and comparisons are provided for both aerodynamic loading and vortex wake structure with and without adaptive mesh refinement.

Focused on statistical modeling and numerical optimization strategies, most researchers typically assume a process with reasonably small variability. Realistically, however, industrial processes often exhibit larger variability, particularly in mass production lines. In such cases, many of the modeling assumptions behind the robust parameter design models available in the literature do not hold. Accordingly, the results and recommendations provided to decision makers could generate suboptimal modifications to processes and products. As manufacturers seek improved methods for ensuring quality in resource-constrained environments, experimenters should examine trade-offs to achieve the levels of precision that best support their decision making. In contrast to previous research, this paper proposes a trade-off analysis between the cost of replication and the desired precision of generated solutions. We consider several techniques in the early stages of experimental design, using Monte Carlo simulation as a tool, for revealing potential options to the decision maker. This is perhaps the first study to show the avenue which may lead to more effective robust parameter design models with the optimal combination of cost constraints and desired precision of solutions.

This extends the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) guidance for incorporating the effects of future MSLR into coastal projects. While USACE relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 19-year National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) for its datum relationships, the approach proposed herein generalizes this guidance by choosing the appropriate 19-year epoch centered on the start year of the MSLR scenario under consideration. The procedure takes into account the local annual sea level variability, which confounds the matching to any given single year while generalizing and preserving the 19-year averaging long used by NOAA to calculate the NTDE. Examples of the MSLR scenario matching procedure are given using actual data and projections for La Jolla, California, and Sewells Point (Hampton Roads), Virginia.

Through the use of validated, coupled wave and hydrodynamic models, this study investigates SLR effects on storm surge and nearshore waves, including variation with coastal landscape type and storm characteristics. Both the wave and hydrodynamic models account for bottom friction based on land-use type, so the modeling procedure accounted for SLR-related changes to land cover, in addition to higher mean sea levels. Simulation of storms with similar meteorological characteristics and track but with landfall in the northeastern and southwestern coastal areas allowed examination of how the coastal features influenced the storm surge and wave response to increased sea levels. The simulation results analyzed here demonstrate that the relationship between storm surge and relative SLR (RSLR) varies between geographic region and storm scenario. The increase in an inundated area is linear in the north, and in the south, the inundated area approaches the northern values for similar storms asymptotically. Nearshore wave results indicate, as expected, that larger water depths created by positive RSLR and amplified surge allow larger waves to propagate into inland areas. For the Texas simulations, it was found that an increase in hurricane wind speeds of 25% is approximately equivalent to a RSLR of 0.5 m in terms of increased area of inundation impact. Because of the complexities of storm-surge dependency on storm strength, track, and local topography, there is no one-size-fits-all response to RSLR descriptive of all locations. Site-specific computer modeling should be used to evaluate the risk facing coastal communities.

It presents three innovations: It is a powerful, cheap, robust, and small advanced personal robot; it forms the foundation of a problem-based learning curriculum; and it enables a novel multi-robot curriculum while fostering collaborative team work on assignments. The robot design has many features specific to educators: It is advanced enough for academic research, has a broad feature set to support a wide range of curricula, and is inexpensive enough to be an effective outreach tool. The low cost allows each student to have their own robot for the semester, so they can work on activities outside the classroom. This robot was used in three different classes in which it was the foundation for an innovative problem-based learning curriculum. In particular, the robot has specialized sensors and a communications system that supports novel multi-robot curricula, which encourage student interaction in new ways. The results are promising; the robot was a big success in graduate, undergraduate, and outreach activities. Finally, student assessments indicate a greater interest and understanding of engineering and other STEM majors, and class evaluations were consistently above average.

The results show that in general the ground with a random impedance cannot be represented by an effective, non-random impedance. The behavior of the solution is studied with a relaxation model for the impedance in which porosity and the static flow resistivity are random variables. Mean values and standard deviations are adopted from measurements of two types of ground surfaces. For both surfaces, the mean intensity of the sound field above a random-impedance ground deviates only slightly from the intensity above a non-random impedance. The normalized standard deviation of intensity fluctuations can, however, be greater than one, thus indicating that for a particular realization of the random impedance, the sound intensity might significantly deviate from the intensity for a non-random impedance.

The theory presented here describes a different perspective to the traditional accounts on the issue, namely, that motor behaviors or sequences of motor behaviors provide a means of reproducing time intervals. Evidence behind this perspective includes tapping strategies (exemplified by musicians), counting strategies, and neuropsychological results showing activation of motor areas during temporal cognitive tasks. I propose that motor behaviors aid human timing by offering a set of processes that consistently take a set amount of time to accomplish. Motor behaviors also allow segmentation of larger intervals into smaller intervals that are easier to estimate. I conclude with a discussion of implications of this perspective on temporal cognition.

Typical windscreen shapes consisting of circular, elliptical, and rectangular cylinders are investigated. A turbulent environment is generated by placing a solid circular cylinder upstream of the microphone. An immersed-boundary method with a fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme is implemented to enhance the simulation accuracy for high-Reynolds number flow around the solid cylinder as well as at the interface between the open air and the porous material comprising the windscreen. The Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are solved in the open air. For the flow inside the porous material, a modified form of the Zwikker-Kosten equation is solved. The results show that, on average, the circular and horizontal ellipse windscreens have similar overall wind noise reduction performance, while the horizontal ellipse windscreen with medium flow resistivity provides the most effective wind noise reduction among all the considered cases. The vertical ellipse windscreen with high flow resistivity, in particular, increases the wind noise because of increased self-generation of turbulence.

Despite the abundance of material engaging the concept of terrorist networks, there is a paucity of research that applies analytic network methods to the empirical study of observed data. This article fills that void by comparing two arguments about terror network structure using a newly released attack network data set. One account suggests that terrorists purposefully structure their networks to maximize operational security (OPSEC) by minimizing connections, while an alternate proposition relies on findings in network sciences showing that many networks have a few well-connected individuals (referred to as scale-free structure). Empirical analysis of six evolving attack networks produces results contradicting both assertions. This article then looks beyond structure to examine whether there are any causal relationships between network characteristics and output, specifically attack casualties. The article concludes by examining possible drivers of network structure and pertinent policy implications.

By defining different levels of Al Qaeda, core, periphery, and movement, this article engages current debates about the threat by focusing on the operational differences across these three levels. Contrary to conventional wisdom about operational efficiency, the social movement has a higher success rate but the core imposes greater costs as measured by casualties. The cells or networks actually executing the attacks also display substantive differences. The social movement networks organize in smaller cells than either affiliated groups or the core; however, they display greater levels of connectedness. The affiliated and organization cells display fewer connections, suggestive of more disciplined operational procedure despite lower success rates. These patterns reflect fundamental differences across characterizations of Al Qaeda, and have significant implications for counterterrorism efforts.

Using simulation to analyze complex systems, however, can be both prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Effective algorithms to allocate intelligently a computing budget for discrete-event simulation experiments are presented in this paper. These algorithms dynamically determine the simulation lengths for all simulation experiments and thus significantly improve simulation efficiency under the constraint of a given computing budget. Numerical illustrations are provided and the algorithms are compared with traditional two-stage ranking-and-selection procedures through numerical experiments. Although the proposed approach is based on heuristics, the numerical results indicate that it is much more efficient than the compared procedures.

Predictor and criterion data were obtained from 471 noncommissioned officers in the U.S. Army. A model with cognitive ability and 3 of the Big 5 personality factors as distal antecedents, leadership experiences and motivation to lead as semidistal antecedents, and the knowledge, skills, and ability (KSAs) to lead as proximal antecedents of leader performance provided a good fit to the data. More specifically, the effects of the distal and semidistal antecedents on leader performance were partially mediated by more proximal variables, whereas leader KSAs demonstrated a relatively strong, direct influence on performance.

As limited empirical evidence supports these relationships, the present research examined whether adaptive skill mediated the effects of values on performance for military leaders. We found that adaptive skill was a distinct construct which uniquely contributed to overall performance. Further, we found that adaptive skill fully mediated the effects of values on technical-administrative behaviors and partially mediated the effects of values on contextual performance and leader behaviors. We discuss the need to further test the nomological network of KSAO-adaptability-performance relationships.

JO - Work JF - Work Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 33 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 34 PB - IOS Press SN - 10519815 AB - Details on fall-related circumstances, a leading cause of occupational injury, are scarce. This study aimed to identify modifiable causes of falls using data from safety reports. Coded and narrative data on injured persons, event locations, and circumstances associated with falls sustained by U.S. Army personnel were obtained from safety reports dated September 1994–September 2002. Descriptive statistics are presented for injury outcomes and risk factors, with a focus on falls from elevation. On average, 59 fall-related injuries/100,000 person-years were reported. Higher rates occurred among whites, single persons, and 20–24 year-olds. Falls from elevation resulted in more severe outcomes, longer hospitalizations, and more lost work time compared to falls from the same level. Most falls from elevation occurred in training (32%) and housing (18%) areas. Leading causes included routine activities (e.g., walking, entering/exiting vehicles) (35%), physical training (12%), and sports (12%). Interventions to prevent falls from elevation in this population should focus on reducing risks from routine activities, specifically in training and housing areas. Safety reports provided details necessary for prioritizing and planning fall prevention efforts that are not available from other sources.

The dynamic programming principle leads to a Hamiltion-Jacobi-Bellman equation, which, for the current case, is a backward stochastic partial differential variational inequality (BSPDVI, for short) for the value function. Well-posedness of such a BSPDVI is established, and a verification theorem is proved.

Specifically, a tree-shaped chromosome is used to combine convex polygons using either Boolean operations (for homogeneous targets) or an overlapping scheme (for inhomogeneous targets). Convex polygons residing in the terminal nodes of the tree are represented as the convex hull of a variable length list of points. Genetic programming then optimizes the geometry and topology of the target along with all material values. Results show that the method is accurate for a broad class of scattering targets.

Uncertain hazards (natural and engineering) have been successfully analyzed using probabilistic risk analysis (PRA). Unlike uncertain hazards, terrorists and hostile states are intelligent adversaries who can observe our vulnerabilities and dynamically adapt their plans and actions to achieve their objectives. This article compares uncertain hazard risk analysis with intelligent adversary risk analysis, describes the intelligent adversary risk analysis challenges, and presents a probabilistic defender–attacker–defender model to evaluate the baseline risk and the potential risk reduction provided by defender investments. The model includes defender decisions prior to an attack; attacker decisions during the attack; defender actions after an attack; and the uncertainties of attack implementation, detection, and consequences. The risk management model is demonstrated with an illustrative bioterrorism problem with notional data.

This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period.

Fifteen male military personnel performed a series of single-leg cutting maneuvers with three different load configurations (light, ~6 kg, medium, ~ 20 kg, and heavy, ~40kg). Subject-based means of the specific lower limb biomechanical variables were submitted to repeated measures ANOVA to test the main and interaction effects of body borne load and movement type. With body borne load, stance time (P < 0.001) increased, while larger hip (P = 0.027) and knee flexion (P=0.004), and hip adduction ( P < 0.001) moments, and decreased hip (P = 0.002) and knee flexion ( P < 0.001), and hip adduction (P = 0.003) postures were evident. Further, the hip (P < 0.001) and ankle (P = 0.024) increased energy absorption, while the knee (P=0.020) increased energy generation with body borne load. During the unanticipated maneuvers, the hip (P=0.009) and knee (P = 0.032) increased energy generation, and peak hip flexion moment ( P = 0.002 ) increased relative to the anticipated movements. With the body borne load, participants adopted biomechanical patterns that decreased their locomotive ability including larger moments and reduced flexion postures of the lower limb. During the single-leg cut, participants used greater energy absorption from the large, proximal muscles of the hip and greater energy generation from the knee with the addition of load. Participant's performance when carrying a range of loads was not compromised by anticipation, as they did not exhibit the hip and knee kinetic and kinematic adaptations previously demonstrated when reacting to an unplanned stimulus.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of graded elevations in skin temperature (Tsk) on PV changes during steady-state exercise under conditions of euhydration (EU) and hypohydration (HYPO, -4% of body mass). Thirty-two men (22 ± 4 yr) were divided into four cohorts (n = 8 each) and completed EU and HYPO trials in one environment [ambient temperature (Ta) 10, 20, 30, and 40°C]. Thirty minutes of cycle ergometry (50% V̇o2peak) was performed. Core (Tre) and mean skin (Tsk) temperatures were measured; changes in PV, total circulating protein (TCP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were calculated; and skin blood flow (SkBF) was estimated. Hypohydration decreased (P < 0.05) PV by 200 ml (-5.7%) but did not alter TCP. Plasma loss was not different between EU and HYPO during exercise at any Ta. Plasma losses were greater (P < 0.05) with elevated Ta with an average -130, -174, -294, and -445 ml losses during the 10, 20, 30, and 40°C trials, respectively. Significant (P < 0.05) correlations (r = 0.50 to 0.84) were found between ΔTCP and ΔPV during exercise when Tsk was cool/warm (<33°C; Ta 10, 20, and 30°C), but not at 40°C (high Tsk). We conclude that 1) graded skin warming proportionally accentuated plasma loss; 2) plasma loss was associated with plasma protein efflux at lower Tsk and SkBF; 3) at high Tsk, additional plasma loss likely results from increased net filtration at the capillaries; and 4) HYPO did not alter vascular fluid loss during exercise in any environment.

This investigation represents a crosssectional experiment conducted at a military academy-based sports medicine center. Military cadets with no history of shoulder complex injury were assessed within two months of enrollment in the academy; 548 men (18.8 ± 1.0 yr, 75.2 ± 12.2 kg, 178.3 ± 7.4 cm) and 74 women (18.7 ± 0.9 yr, 63.2 ± 8.9 kg, 165.2 ± 6.9 cm) participated. Descriptive measures included cross-body adduction (CAD), flexion (FLX), external rotation (ER0) with the shoulder complex in adduction and elbow flexed to 90°, internal and external rotation (IR, ER) with the shoulder complex at 90° of abduction and elbow flexed to 90° as well as arc (ARC) of IR-ER using standardized clinical quantification techniques. Bilateral and sex differences were evaluated using dependent and independent t-tests, respectively. Percentiles by arm dominance and sex were also calculated for all ROM measures. Results: Data were normally distributed. Active and passive ROM measures indicated significant bilateral differences (P < 0.05) except for ARC. Sex differences (P < 0.05) were noted for active and passive CAD, FLX and ER0 for the dominant arm as well as active and passive CAD, FLX and ARC for the non-dominant arm. Conclusions: These original data provide descriptive measures for shoulder complex ROM excursions, assisting sports medicine practitioners in potentially identifying clinical deficiencies and functional outcomes following shoulder injury.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - The Thai HIV phase III prime/boost vaccine trial (RV144) using ALVAC-HIV (vCP1521) and AIDSVAX B/E was, to our knowledge, the first to demonstrate acquisition efficacy. Vaccine-induced, cell-mediated immune responses were assessed. T cell epitope mapping studies using IFN-γ ELISPOT was performed on PBMCs from HIV-1-uninfected vaccine (n=61) and placebo (n=10) recipients using HIV-1 Env peptides. Positive responses were measured in 25 (41%) vaccinees and were predominantly CD4+ T cell-mediated. Responses were targeted within the HIV Env region, with 15 of 25 (60%) of vaccinees recognizing peptides derived from the V2 region of HIV-1 Env, which includes the α4β7 integrin binding site. Intracellular cytokine staining confirmed that Env responses predominated (19 of 30; 63% of vaccine recipients) and were mediated by polyfunctional effector memory CD4+ T cells, with the majority of responders producing both IL-2 and IFN-γ (12 of 19; 63%). HIV Env Ab titers were higher in subjects with IL-2 compared with those without IL-2-secreting HIV Env-specific effector memory T cells. Proliferation assays revealed that HIV Ag-specific T cells were CD4+, with the majority (80%) expressing CD107a. HIV-specific T cell lines obtained from vaccine recipients confirmed V2 specificity, polyfunctionality, and functional cytolytic capacity. Although the RV144 T cell responses were modest in frequency compared with humoral immune responses, the CD4+ T cell response was directed to HIV-1 Env and more particularly the V2 region.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus (RVFV) can cause severe human disease characterized by either acute-onset hepatitis, delayed-onset encephalitis, retinitis and blindness, or a hemorrhagic syndrome. The existing nonhuman primate (NHP) model for RVF utilizes an intravenous (i.v.) exposure route in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Severe disease in these animals is infrequent, and large cohorts are needed to observe significant morbidity and mortality. To overcome these drawbacks, we evaluated the infectivity and pathogenicity of RVFV in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) by i.v., subcutaneous (s.c.), and intranasal exposure routes to more closely mimic natural exposure. Marmosets were more susceptible to RVFV than rhesus macaques and experienced higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and viremia and marked aberrations in hematological and chemistry values. An overwhelming infection of hepatocytes was a major consequence of infection of marmosets by the i.v. and s.c. exposure routes. Additionally, these animals displayed signs of hemorrhagic manifestations and neurological impairment. Based on our results, the common marmoset model more closely resembles severe human RVF disease and is therefore an ideal model for the evaluation of potential vaccines and therapeutics.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 37 ref. N2 - Countering aerosolized filovirus infection is a major priority of biodefense research. Aerosol models of filovirus infection have been developed in knock-out mice, guinea pigs and non-human primates; however, filovirus infection of immunocompetent mice by the aerosol route has not been reported. A murine model of aerosolized filovirus infection in mice should be useful for screening vaccine candidates and therapies. In this study, various strains of wild-type and immunocompromised mice were exposed to aerosolized wild-type (WT) or mouse-adapted (MA) Ebola virus (EBOV). Upon exposure to aerosolized WT-EBOV, BALB/c, C57BL/6 (B6), and DBA/2 (D2) mice were unaffected, but 100% of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and 90% of signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat1) knock-out (KO) mice became moribund between 7-9 days post-exposure (dpe). Exposure to MA-EBOV caused 15% body weight loss in BALB/c, but all mice recovered. In contrast, 10-30% lethality was observed in B6 and D2 mice exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and 100% of SCID, Stat1 KO, interferon (IFN)-γ KO and Perforin KO mice became moribund between 7-14 dpe. In order to identify wild-type, inbred, mouse strains in which exposure to aerosolized MA-EBOV is uniformly lethal, 60 BXD (C57BL/6 crossed with DBA/2) recombinant inbred (RI) and advanced RI (ARI) mouse strains were exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and monitored for disease severity. A complete spectrum of disease severity was observed. All BXD strains lost weight but many recovered. However, infection was uniformly lethal within 7 to 12 days post-exposure in five BXD strains. Aerosol exposure of these five BXD strains to 10-fold less MA-EBOV resulted in lethality ranging from 0% in two strains to 90-100% lethality in two strains. Analysis of post-mortem tissue from BXD strains that became moribund and were euthanized at the lower dose of MA-EBOV, showed liver damage in all mice as well as lung lesions in two of the three strains. The two BXD strains that exhibited 90-100% mortality, even at a low dose of airborne MA-EBOV will be useful mouse models for testing vaccines and therapies. Additionally, since disease susceptibility is affected by complex genetic traits, a systems genetics approach was used to identify preliminary gene loci modulating disease severity among the panel BXD strains. Preliminary quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified that are likely to harbor genes involved in modulating differential susceptibility to Ebola infection.

PURPOSE: To quantify the independent adjusted association of significant ADA STKI risk factors, 2000-2005. MATERIALS/METHODS: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (1) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323) and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STKI risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. RESULTS: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (1) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). MAJOR CONCLUSION: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI.

Participants lifted an 11-kg box for 10 min at 12 cycles/min from ankle height in front to shelves 45 deg off-centre at waist height. Kinematic data were collected at the beginning (min1), middle (min5) and end of the bout (min9). Two-way analyses of variance were performed for all variables. Pelvis and trunk transverse ROM were similar at min1. By min9, HBP group did not change (31.9 ± 9 deg); however, ROM decreased in NBP group (21.6 ± 6 deg,p<  0.05). Therefore, despite no current pain, the HBP group demonstrated protective lifting mechanics compared to controls. Also discussed are implications for studying lifting paradigms at sub-maximal effort over longer periods of time. Practitioner summary:Differences between groups over time demonstrate residual consequences of low back pain (LBP) in a manual materials handling scenario. Individuals with a history of LBP (pain free for 6 months) demonstrated more conservative lifting mechanics towards the end of the bout compared to controls with no history of LBP.

METHODS: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. RESULTS: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p <= 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p <= 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. CONCLUSIONS: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2, and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts.

African Americans are more likely to report strong religious affiliations and to use religion over prescribed medications for mental health problems. However, few studies have explored how African Americans use religious practices in response to stressful life events. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine how African American women and men find comfort in using scripture passages from The Bible. Methods: Fifty-four African American adults residing in the Southeastern United States participated in a qualitative descriptive study using open-ended semistructured interviews. Participants were asked to describe their use of scripture passages from The Bible and the personal meanings associated with these scriptures in the context of a family death or life-threatening illness. Results: These participants used scripture passages categorized as God as Protector, God as Beneficent, Praise and Thanksgiving, God as Healer, Memory of Forefathers, Prayers to God, and Life after Death. Few gender differences were noted. However, women were more likely to use scripture passages of Godas Protector and Life after Death, whereas men were more likely to use God as Beneficent and God as Healer. Discussion: The religious practice of reading scripture passages from The Bible is a mental health-promoting strategy used during stressful life events. The findings of this study have practical uses for nurses and can be used to inform acceptable and sensitive approaches in addressing mental health issues and spiritual care needs in African American patients.

Using a within-participant design, individuals received no-cue augmentation, an augmenting tactile cue alone, an augmenting auditory cue alone or both of the latter augmentations in combination. Results showed significant and substantive improvements in performance such that successful search speed was facilitated by more than 43%, errors of omission were reduced by 86% and errors of commission were reduced by more than 77% in the combinatorial cueing condition compared with the non-cued control. These outcomes were not a trade of performance efficiency for associated mental effort because recorded levels of cognitive workload were also reduced by more than 30% in the multi-cued circumstance compared with the control condition. When the tactile modality was incorporated it led to the highest gain in performance speed, when the auditory modality was incorporated, it led to the best levels of performance accuracy. The combined condition rendered the best of each from of performance increment. Reasons for this outcome pattern are discussed alongside their manifest practical benefits. Practitioner Summary: This experiment tested 60 individuals on a multiple screen, visual target detection task. Individuals received no-cue augmentation, tactile cue alone, an augmenting auditory cue alone or both of the latter augmentations in combination. Results showed significant and substantive improvements in the combinatorial cueing condition compared with the non-cued control.

AB - We examined the effect of body water deficits on standing balance and sought to determine if plasma hyperosmolality (Posm) and/or volume reduction (%[Delta]Vplasma) exerted independent effects. Nine healthy volunteers completed three experimental trials which consisted of a euhydration (EUH) balance test, a water deficit session and a hypohydration (HYP) balance test. Hypohydration was achieved both by exercise-heat stress to 3% and 5% body mass loss (BML), and by a diuretic to 3% BML. Standing balance was assessed during quiet standing on a force platform with eyes open and closed. With eyes closed, hypohydration significantly decreased medial-lateral sway path and velocity by 13% (both p < .040). However, 95% confidence intervals for the mean difference between EUH and HYP were all within the coefficient of variation of EUH measures, indicating limited practical importance. Neither Vplasma loss nor Posm increases were associated with changes in balance. We concluded that standing balance was not altered by hypohydration.

The United States Army used multiple-objective decision analysis to determine the military value of installations and an installation portfolio model to develop the starting point to identify potential unit realignments and base closures, providing the basis for all recommendations. Ninety-five percent of the army's recommendations were accepted by the BRAC 2005 Commission. The army expects these recommendations to create recurring savings of $1.5 billion annually after completion of BRAC implementation. This paper offers four contributions to decision analysis literature: an instructive application of multiple-objective decision analysis methods to portfolio selection, a useful method for constructing scales for interdependent attributes, a new method for assessing weights that explicitly considers importance and variation (Swing Weight Matrix), and practical advice on how to use multiple-objective decision analysis methods in a complex and controversial political environment.

The prospects are positive but there are some constraints that must addressed. In commercial terms, the sector remains a young form of business. Distribution of aquaculture products will grow worldwide. There will be an increase in the number of aquatic species that will be cultivated and eventually domesticated will increase as new technology becomes available. Projected annual increases of the aquaculture industry is 10 to 40 percent.

A good market for products and skillful entrepreneurs as some of the incentives for aquaculture development. There are additional prerequisites including favorable legislation, that if not present can obstruct or prevent the development of an aquacultural endeavor. Aquaculture operation is dependent on capital, seed and feed and competent management. Marketing products through commercial channels is very important for aquaculture.

Production on land consists of plant like cereals and root crops while aquatic production consists of shellfish, fish, marine mammals, inverterbrates and macroalgae. The edible part of different food items varies considerably and it can be calculated by subtracting the amount of wastes from the gross quantity to obtain the net quantity. The reasons for discrepancies between land and aquatic-based production are presented.

It was estimated at 1 million metric tons in 1966 and by 1989 it was more than 14 times of 1 million metric tons. It is predicted that aquaculture production will continue to grow from 20 to 25 million metric tons by the year 2000 and up to 60 million metric tons by 2025. From 1984 to 1989, the annual average increase in aquaculture production was 6.8 percent. The use of ponds and tanks are the leading form of aquaculture production during the mid-1980s. Asian countries that are primary producers of cultured aquatic species include China and the Philippines.

The rainbow trout, the Atlantic Salmon, Pacific salmon and Chinese carps are some of the genera of fish that dominate the international aquaculture scene. Tilapia farming was started in Egypt and some believe that it is older than the Chinese carp culture in China. The most cosmopolitan finfishes introduced and cultured in most countries are the common carp and rainbow trout. Tropical and subtropical shrimps belonging in the genera Penaeus and Metapenaeus are among the financially attractive aquacultural species in countries with a suitable climate.

Thermal minina are often serious constraints to aquaculture in temperate climate. Oxygen-rich waters are needed by species for optimum growth and survival. Cultivated aquatic species' protein requirements range from 25 percent to 55 percent of the total feed ingredients, but it varies as a function of the life cycle stage. Thermal shock of the fertilized egg and gynogenesis are the two techniques that are widely employed by producers of grass carp and rainbow trout.

Strain selection, breeding, nutrition and disease are the problems caused by high density environment. A scheme of the major biological, technical and socio-economical factors influencing the development of aquaculture are illustrated. It is important to have optimal feeding techniques to promote good growth and preventing fouling of water with wasted feed. The selling price of the marine products must be balanced with the costs of machinery, equipment, energy, feed and seed and interest rates.

The energy utilized in aquaculture systems is derived from four sources including solar energy bound in natural production, energy used during the aquaculture process, energy used for the preparation/manufacturing of feeds, equipment and supplies used in the aquaculture process and energy bound in the organic materials provided to the cultured species. In aquaculture, the balance of energy input and output can be calculated by determining the energetic needs of the different processes and the energy content of the product itself.

In developing an aquaculture endeavor, the quantity and the quality of water are the most important considerations. Initially, the amount of water required for farming specific species is determined by that species' oxygen demand. The major physical and chemical water quality factors that affect aquacultre including temperature and dissolved gases are discussed. Wastes must be treated or removed from water to prevent environmental pollution.

The energy transfer from one level on the food chain to the next is in order of 10 percent in natural aquatic ecosystems. Thus, they have high energy losses which result to low yield per unit area. On the other hand, the artificial aquaculture ecosystems are characterized by high inputs of energy and of seed, short food chains with low energy losses and high yields per unit area.tThe fish production is in order of 1,000 to 1,000,000 kg/ha/yr.

The first treatise on aquaculture known to man was by Chinese author Fan Li dated 475 B.C. Aquaculture was brought to Europe about 2000 years ago. In the 18th century, carp farming was practiced in most European countries. American scientists started to bred trout for sport fisheries during the 19th century. In Japan, aquaculture development has been spectacular wherein at least 1 million tons of seafood is cultivated in coastal waters annually.

The basic ingestion, inhalation, and direct gamma intake equations used by RESRAD, Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS), and the Soil Screening Guidance for Radionuclides (SSG) are similar and can produce similar results, but there are some notable differences. Of particular interest is the fact that RESRAD incorporates sophisticated environmental transport models. Associated environmental parameters allow risk assessors to consider, among other variables, the size (i.e., surface area) of the contaminated zone, a variable not typically addressed quantitatively under the RAGS/SSG paradigm. Considering the similarities between basic RESRAD, RAGS, and SSG intake equations and given the broad acceptance of RESRAD, it stands to reason that RESRAD-derived area factors may be used to supplement RAGS/SSG human health risk calculations. This would allow risk assessors to retrofit existing results or otherwise modify standard RAGS/SSG equations for use in site closeout planning under the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM), given a key component of the MARSSIM method is the consideration of small areas of elevated activity or “hot spots” through the use of area factors.

JO - Risk Analysis: An International Journal JF - Risk Analysis: An International Journal Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 26 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 78 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 02724332 AB - Contaminated sediments and other sites present a difficult challenge for environmental decisionmakers. They are typically slow to recover or attenuate naturally, may involve multiple regulatory agencies and stakeholder groups, and engender multiple toxicological and ecotoxicological risks. While environmental decision-making strategies over the last several decades have evolved into increasingly more sophisticated, information-intensive, and complex approaches, there remains considerable dissatisfaction among business, industry, and the public with existing management strategies. Consequently, contaminated sediments and materials are the subject of intense technology development, such as beneficial reuse or in situ treatment. However, current decision analysis approaches, such as comparative risk assessment, benefit-cost analysis, and life cycle assessment, do not offer a comprehensive approach for incorporating the varied types of information and multiple stakeholder and public views that must typically be brought to bear when new technologies are under consideration. Alternatively, multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) offers a scientifically sound decision framework for management of contaminated materials or sites where stakeholder participation is of crucial concern and criteria such as economics, environmental impacts, safety, and risk cannot be easily condensed into simple monetary expressions. This article brings together a multidisciplinary review of existing decision-making approaches at regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe and synthesizes state-of-the-art research in MCDA methods applicable to the assessment of contaminated sediment management technologies. Additionally, it tests an MCDA approach for coupling expert judgment and stakeholder values in a hypothetical contaminated sediments management case study wherein MCDA is used as a tool for testing stakeholder responses to and improving expert assessment of innovative contaminated sediments technologies.

SN - 00496979 AB - Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for inorganic mercury in earthworms are usually < 1; however, factors up to ∼10 have been reported. Little information is available concerning the bioaccumulation of organic mercury in earthworms from actual contaminated soils and thus there has been uncertainty in the risk characterization phase of ecological risk assessments of mercury-contaminated sites. This study was initiated to determine the rate of uptake and bioaccumulation of total mercury (T-Hg) and monomethylmercury (MMHg) in Eisenia fetida from soils which have been contaminated with mercury for approximately 30 years. The study consisted of a 28-day uptake phase in three mercury-contaminated soils and one soil with background concentrations of mercury followed by a 14-day depuration phase in background soil only. Total mercury concentrations in the study soils ranged from 85 to 11,542 μg kg−1 dry weight soil; MMHg concentrations ranged from 1.12 to 7.35 μg kg−1 dry weight soil. Time to 90% steady states for T-Hg ranged from 36 to 42 days. A steady state did not occur for any of the MMHg exposures during the 42-day study; estimated time to 90% steady state varied from 97 to 192 days. BAFs for T-Hg ranged from 0.6 to 3.3. BAFs for MMHg ranged from 175 to 249. The BAFs for T-Hg and MMHg were larger in earthworms exposed to the lower contaminated soils and smaller in the higher mercury-contaminated soils. The absolute concentrations of T-Hg and MMHg bioaccumulated in E. fetida, however, were higher in the earthworms exposed to the higher mercury soils and lower in the less mercury-contaminated soils.

Additionally, tests were conducted to identify GPR’s repeatability on dry versus wet pavements. Finally, an attempt was made to determine the number of actual field cores necessary to accurately postprocess radar data into layer thickness data. At this time, it appears that four calibration cores would be the optimum number of cores that would minimize errors.

Specifically, the article analyzes a strategy begun in February 2007 with the surge of 25,000 American troops. The author believes that the indicated strategy was neither new nor a strategy, but that it might cripple the U.S. military in the future. A detailed analysis and discussion of the surge narrative is provided. KW - IRAQ War, 2003-2011 -- Government policy KW - UNITED States.

This soil is contaminated with explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB, Aroclor 1260), as well as lead. Lime treatment (alkaline hydrolysis) and persulfate oxidation were tested individually and in combination to treat explosives and PCBs. Lime treatment removed 98% of TNT, 75% of DNT, and 80% of PCBs. Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment as well as lime followed by persulfate. The percentage of contaminant removal was found to be independent of initial contaminant concentrations. Treatments of the most contaminated soil did not meet the preliminary remediation goals for explosives or PCBs but would allow for disposal in a nonhazardous waste landfill. Treatment of soil with lower initial concentrations easily met the residential (most stringent) preliminary remediation goals of 16, 61, and 0.22 mg kg-1 for TNT, 2,6-DNT, and PCB (Aroclor 1260), respectively. Neither alkaline hydrolysis nor persulfate oxidation transferred more than 0.02% of the lead from the soil into the reaction waters. Lead was successfully stabilized via phosphate addition.

These include the creation of a civilian Military-Industrial Commission with limited powers over the development of new technologies, the centralization of procurement under Russia's Ministry of Defense, and the creation of large holding corporations in various industries. The article argues that Russia's indirect takeover of industry under President Vladimir Putin constitutes a regression to the war economy that existed under Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The lack of technological innovation in Russia is discussed in this context.

Russia has long wanted to play the role of provider of oil and gas to North Korea and these agreements open up new opportunities for it to do so. However, serious obstacles in the nature of North Korea’s precarious economic situation and its consequences, international rivalries in Northeast Asia, and Russia’s own energy policies present serious obstacles to the realization of Russia’s ambitions as regards North Korea and as energy provider to Northeast Asia as a whole.

Over the twentieth century, however, this pattern reversed itself, with states increasingly less likely to defeat insurgents or avoid meeting at least some of their demands. What accounts for this pattern of outcomes in counterinsurgency (COIN) wars? We argue that increasing mechanization within state militaries after World War I is primarily responsible for this shift. Unlike their nineteenth-century predecessors, modern militaries possess force structures that inhibit information collection among local populations. This not only complicates the process of sifting insurgents from noncombatants but increases the difficulty of selectively applying rewards and punishment among the fence-sitting population. Modern militaries may therefore inadvertently fuel, rather than deter, insurgencies. We test this argument with a new data set of 286 insurgencies (1800-2005) and a paired comparison of two U.S. Army divisions in Iraq (2003-2004). We find that higher levels of mechanization, along with external support for insurgents and the counterinsurgent's status as an occupier, are associated with an increased probability of state defeat. By contrast, we find only partial support for conventional power- and regime-based explanations, and no support for the view that rough terrain favors insurgent success.

The Black-Scholes equation for the classical option pricing problem is generalized to an infinite-dimensional equation to include the effects of time delay in the evolution of the financial market as well as a very general payoff function. A computational algorithm for the solution is also obtained via a double sequence of polynomials of a certain bounded linear functional on a Banach space and the time variable.

Specifically, we hypothesized that psychological climate perceptions have direct and indirect effects on intent to leave through affective commitment and morale and that affective and continuance commitment interact to predict intent to leave the Army. The sample for this study was 649 captains who responded to an Army-wide survey, the Fall 2002 Sample Survey of Military Personnel. Results demonstrate support for full mediation, indicating that psychological climate impacts intent to leave the Army by influencing captains' affective commitment and morale. The psychological climate dimension of leadership had the largest impact on affective commitment, morale, and intent to leave the Army. Affective commitment did not interact with continuance commitment to predict intent to leave. Implications for Army retention policies and leadership are discussed.

One hundred and twenty-seven military students participated in three 20-minute discussions in one of three learning environments: standard classroom; standard on-line discussion; and discussion assisted by semantic technology. Consistent with expectations, semantic technology-supported learning resulted in greater discussion participation and training performance with discussion participation mediating the relationship between the learning environment and training satisfaction. An interaction between learning goal orientation (LGO) and learning environment on tacit knowledge performance showed that face-to-face conditions may help those with low LGO. Implications for improving tacit knowledge acquisition and technology-supported leadership development practices are discussed.

Robotic operators performed parallel route reconnaissance missions with each platform alone and with all three platforms. When given all three platforms, participants failed to detect more targets than when given only the UAV or UGV; they were also less likely to complete their mission in the allotted time. Target detection during missions was the poorest with the Teleop alone, likely because of the demands of remote driving. Spatial ability was found to be a good predictor of target-detection performance. However, slowing sensor feed video frame rate or the imposition of a short response latency (250 ms) between Teleop control and Teleop reaction failed to affect target-detection performance significantly. Nevertheless, these video image manipulations did influence assessment of system usability.

This study investigates the types of stressors, appraisals, and coping responses of U.S. soldiers and their leaders. A qualitative analysis of interviews indicates that the traditional coping buffers of social drinking and seeking social support from fellow soldiers, family, and leaders can potentially serve as sources of stress. While this paradox may be a result of the unique types of stressors in the military work environment, these results should direct researchers to better understand individuals' perceptions and appraisals of stress, with a focus on the meaning of stress, given contextual factors inherent in the workplace. The findings are discussed in relation to the literature on the impact of stress on physical and psychological health.

A change accompanied by two other changes was detected 69.3% of the time, while the same change occurring alone was detected 79.6% of the time. When three changes occurred simultaneously, all three were detected only 37% of the time. Detection of icon appearance was superior to detection of icon disappearance, as might be expected from the literature on visual attention. The discussion addresses the need to represent change explicitly in such systems and suggests properties that a change detection aid should possess.

This project aimed to (1) develop a computerized weight and fitness database to track individuals and Army units over lime allowing cross-sectional and longitudinal evaluations and (2) test the computerized system for feasibility and integrity of data collection over several years of usage. The computer application, the Military Services Fitness Database (MSFD), was designed for (1) storage and tracking of data related to height, weight, %BF tot the Army Weight Control Program (AWCP) and Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and (2) generation of reports using these data. A 2.5-year pilot test of the MSFD indicated that it monitors population and individual trends of changing body weight, %BF, and fitness in a military population.

These issues may have an adverse effect on the health of military spouses. This study examined the mental health status, rates of care utilization, source of care, as well as barriers and stigma of mental health care utilization among military spouses who were seeking care in military primary care clinics. The data show spouses have similar rates of mental health problems compared to soldiers. Spouses were more likely to seek care for their mental health problems and were less concerned with the stigma of mental health care than were soldiers. Services were most often received from primary care physicians, rather than specialty mental health professionals, which may relate to the lack of availability of mental health services for spouses on military installations.

Apart from this requirement, medical ethics education is an integral component of military medical practice. Although ethics education and training are required, tools to assess the effectiveness of ethics education are not well developed. Furthermore, although biomedical ethics education is mandated for new Army physician trainees, there has not been a systematic objective assessment of the effectiveness of that training. We report the concept underlying the design and implementation of a military biomedical ethics seminar for new Army physician trainees. Combining a didactic component and case analysis through small-group discussions, we emphasized providing tools to analyze ethical dilemmas both in the medical center environment and in the operational medicine environment. A total of 47 Army interns participated in the seminar. Eighty-nine percent of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the ethics orientation met expectations. Seventy-two percent agreed or strongly agreed that the information presented would affect their practice. Ninety-six percent thought that the small-group discussions were effective, and 80% thought that the presentations enhanced knowledge from medical school.

This study refines the model with data from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Inpatient health care records of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to OEF and OIF who were admitted with DNBI diagnoses were analyzed. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were compared with rates for Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were lower than those tor Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. Rates among the phases of OIF were distinctly different. DNBI admission rates have been reduced during recent deployments. The concepts of the original model based on Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm data were validated by experiences during OEF and OIF. Continuous surveillance of DNBI admission rates is recommended.

Data were from the nationally representative 2001 National Survey of Veterans (N = 7,907; 3.923 veterans served in Vietnam). Age-stratified (<60 years versus >60 years) analyses included multivariate logistic regression. In adjusted analyses, among those <60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had notably poorer self-rated health and higher stroke risk (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval. 1.48-1.53); odds of most other conditions were lower. Among those ≥6(1 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had poorer self-rated health, higher cancer risk (odds ratio. 1.33; 95% confidence interval. 1.32-1.35h and more treatment for hypertension, lung conditions, stroke, and hearing loss. Results suggest greater resource use among older veterans who served in Vietnam. Clinicians and the Department of Veterans Affairs should especially note their substantially higher cancer risk.

An important component of strategic prevention and control plans for these and other mosquito-borne diseases is forecasting the distribution, timing, and abundance of mosquito vector populations. Populations of many medically important mosquito species are closely tied to climate, and historical climate-population associations may be used to predict future population dynamics, Using 2003-2005 U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine mosquito surveillance data, we looked at populations of several known mosquito vectors of West Nile virus, as well as possible mosquito vectors of Rift Valley lever virus, at continental U.S. military installations. We compared population changes with concurrent patterns for a satellite-derived index of climate (normalized difference vegetation index) and observed instances of population changes appearing to be direct responses to climate. These preliminary findings are important first steps in developing an automated, climate-driven, early warning system to flag regions of the United States at elevated risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission.

The current version of the PATGEN model is based on historical major combat operations such as World War II and the Korean War. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference between injury distributions used in the PATGEN model and the injury distributions based on the data from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). To make the comparison feasible, the PATGEN injury categories were created using the Barell Injury Matrix. Analyses were performed using two independent OIF data sources, the Joint Theater Trauma Registry and the Standard Inpatient Data Record. Based on X² test results, both analyses suggest a significant difference between PATGEN and OIF injury distributions. A major concern is the underestimation by PATGEN of battle injuries with multiple wounds. The findings support future use of data-driven diagnosis-based injury distributions for current operations and new more flexible simulation models that will allow for changes in injury probability distributions.

The objective of this study was to expand upon the previous MHS model to determine predictors of patient satisfaction behaviors based upon associated attitudes and beliefs in addition to determining the predictive qualities presented by continuity of care. A sample of 90.318 patient responses from 2002 to 2004 was drawn front the Customer Satisfaction Survey database. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the uniquely predictive effects of the independent variables on the outcome variable. Results indicated the constructs from previous studies of satisfaction within the MHS using an attitude model were consistent when tested in a behavioral model. Hypothesis tests also indicated continuity of care demonstrated uniquely predictive qualities suggesting inclusion in the model. The final satisfaction with visit model yielded F(29,90.288) = 7062.37, p < 0.01 with R² = 0.694.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command & Control Evacuation System database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2003 to 2004. The study found 327 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 11/10,000 soldiers per year) and 47 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21/10,000 soldiers per year), for a total of 374 MEDEVACS. Forty-two percent (n = 158) of all oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Another 36% (n = 136) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, caused by acts of war. Twenty-one percent (n = 80) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, mainly caused by motor vehicle accidents and fighting.

The service members' perceptions were addressed in the dimensions of ethics, effectiveness, and safety, as well as the overall perceptions of the AVIP. The study, conducted in October 2004, randomly selected active duty service members from the uniformed services assigned to a Caribbean military base who participated in the AVIP during the period of 1998 to 2000. Their perceptions were measured with a survey instrument with 14 closed-ended, Likert-scale questions. The research demonstrated that a substantial number of service members disagreed with issues regarding the ethics, safety, and efficacy of the AVIP, We recommend enhanced training and education to increase understanding of the benefits of the AVIP.

Such interviews are critical for recommending individuals for follow-up assessment and care. To standardize the interview process, U.S. Army Medical Research Unit-Europe developed a structured interview guide, designed in response to both clinical requirements and research findings. The guide includes sections on depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship problems, alcohol problems, and sleep problems, in addition, there is all open-ended section on other problems and a section for case dispositions. Data from a 2005 blinded validation study with soldiers returning from a 1-year-long combat deployment are included to demonstrate the utility of the structured interview. Guidelines and implementation considerations for the use of the structured interview are discussed.

Methods: Injury data were collected each week at two clinics serving two geographically separated military training units. Weekly injury rates were calculated as the number of injured soldiers in each battalion (numerator) divided by the total number of soldiers in each battalion (denominator). A two-way analysis of variance examined weekly injury rates according to training unit and season of the year. Correlations between injury rates and average maximal temperatures were also examined. Results: Analysis of variance indicated significant differences in injury rates according to training unit (p = 0.04) and season (p < 0.01 ) but no significant interaction between unit and season (p = 0.16). Injury rates in the summer were higher than injury rates in the winter or autumn. Coefficients for correlations between weekly injury rates and weekly average maximal temperatures were 0.71 and 0.88 for the two training units. Conclusions: These data support previous work in U.S. Army basic combat training indicating a seasonal effect on injury rates. Higher environmental temperatures were associated with higher injury rates.

Methamphetamine is among the most addictive and damaging of commonly abused drugs; this is of great concern for military health providers in Hawaii due to the unusually high prevalence in the local community. The effect of regional drug use on active duty subpopulations has not been previously studied. This study includes a 6-year retrospective sample of laboratory-confirmed methamphetamine-, cocaine-, and marijuana-positive drug tests among Army soldiers stationed in Hawaii and western and eastern continental U.S. installations. The findings suggest that active duty members are significantly affected by the local drug climate. However, current military drug policies also deter use as evidenced by low absolute drug-positive rates even in regions of high civilian prevalence.

We describe a quantitative algorithmic method (the Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm) that uses Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center information to determine which naturally occurring pathogens pose the most substantial threat to U.S. deployed forces in the absence of specific mitigating countermeasures. The Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm scores the relative importance of various diseases by taking into account both their severity and the likelihood of infection on a country-by-country basis. In such an analysis, the top three endemic disease threats to U.S. deployed threes are malaria, bacteria-caused diarrhea, and dengue fever.

These efforts included core field preventive medicine but quickly extended into other efforts. In collaboration with the host nation and other organizations, the preventive medicine team performed additional support for operations outside the U.S. compound, including water and sanitation assessments of camps for internally displaced persons, communicable disease investigation and control, and vaccination programs. Preventive medicine personnel were vital to health diplomacy efforts in this operation, particularly because of security concerns that prevented other U.S. medical assets from leaving the compound. Comparisons with the U.S. responses during other humanitarian operations are made. Preventive medicine missions in health diplomacy will continue to increase. Training and collaborative relationships with other government agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, and with nongovernmental organizations should continue to be developed.

By joint structured sparsity, we not only use the sparsity prior for each measurement but we also exploit the structural information across the sparse representation vectors of multiple measurements. Several different sparse prior models are investigated in this paper to exploit the correlations among the multiple measurements with the notion of the joint structured sparsity for improving the classification accuracy. Specifically, we propose models with the joint structured sparsity under different assumptions: same sparse code model, common sparse pattern model, and a newly proposed joint dynamic sparse model. For the joint dynamic sparse model, we also develop an efficient greedy algorithm to solve it. Extensive experiments are carried out on real acoustic data sets, and the results are compared with the conventional discriminative classifiers in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The kernel-based ensemble technique first randomly selects spectral feature subspaces from the input data. Each individual classifier, which is in fact a support vector machine (SVM), then independently conducts its own learning within its corresponding spectral feature subspace and hence constitutes a weak classifier. The decisions from these weak classifiers are equally or adaptively combined to generate the final ensemble decision. However, in such ensemble learning, little attempt has been previously made to jointly optimize the weak classifiers and the aggregating process for combining the subdecisions. The main goal of this paper is to achieve an optimal sparse combination of the subdecisions by jointly optimizing the separating hyperplane obtained by optimally combining the kernel matrices of the SVM classifiers and the corresponding weights of the subdecisions required for the aggregation process. Sparsity is induced by applying an l1 norm constraint on the weighting coefficients. Consequently, the weights of most of the subclassifiers become zero after the optimization, and only a few of the subclassifiers with non-zero weights contribute to the final ensemble decision. Moreover, in this paper, an algorithm to determine the optimal full-diagonal bandwidth parameters of the Gaussian kernels of the individual SVMs is also presented by minimizing the radius-margin bound. The optimized full-diagonal bandwidth Gaussian kernels are used by the sparse SVM ensemble to perform binary classification. The performance of the proposed technique with optimized kernel parameters is compared to that of the one with single-bandwidth parameter obtained using cross-validation by testing them on various data sets. On an average, the proposed sparse kernel-based ensemble learning algorithm with optimized full-diagonal bandwidth parameters shows an improvement of 20\% over the existing ensemble learning techniques.

Our goal is to develop a comprehensive detection technology that can be fielded and successfully used by nonexperts, while simultaneously being sufficiently robust as to be effective. Our correlation detection algorithm relies on a library of model signals that are generated using an analytical model of a thin subsurface wire in a homogeneous half-space. The wire is illuminated using an active transmitter source (12, 20, or 200 kHz), and its response is sensed using a man-portable electromagnetic gradiometer (EMG) system. The performance of the detector is assessed using synthetic data and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis as well as experimental data collected during a field test. Preliminary ROC results indicate that at sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, the detector can achieve detection probabilities greater than 0.9 with corresponding false alarm rates of less than one every 1000 m. Results from the field tests revealed that the responses from the EMG can be used to detect and localize (to within 0.5 m in the horizontal) a wire target down to a depth of at least 7 m. We believe the EMG system and correlation detector combine to form a promising technology for detecting tunnel infrastructure that can be used by experts and, more importantly, nonexperts as well.

The approach exploits the spatial statistics on two coregistered vertical and horizontal polarization components of the images, where differences of spatial second-order statistics in the bivariate space reveal that man-made objects are separable from natural objects while holding invariant to diurnal cycle variation and geometry of illumination. We exploit the invariant feature using the Bayes decision rule based only on probabilities. Experimental results on a challenging data set, covering a 24-h diurnal cycle, show the effectiveness of the new approach on detecting anomalies; three military tank surrogates posed at different aspect angles are detectable in a natural clutter background. These results yield a negligible false alarm rate as the heating components of the tank surrogates were turned off during data collection.

The model- canopy layouts were the same as cross canopies with the adjacent sides completely attached together. All models had a base dimension of 0.2 m, and aspect ratios ranged from 0.2 to 1.2. The models did not have a central vent or any other geometric porosity. The data show the inflated geometry of the canopy differs from the constructed geometry with the smallest change occurring at a constructed aspect of 0.8 and the variation becomes larger for increasing or decreasing constructed aspect ratios. The data also indicate the aerodynamic drag coefficient, based on the projected area, has a maximum value of approximately one for the constructed aspect ratio of 0.3 corresponding to an inflated aspect ratio of 0.53. The drag coefficient is less for smaller and larger aspect-ratio models. If scaled by the canopy surface area drag of the rectangular parallelepiped canopies is lower than flat circular canopy designs. These findings are consistent with the past findings on other flexible parachute canopies and rigid bluff bodies.

Both integral flap (the flap is an integral part of the blade such that there are no physical gaps at the flap ends) and discrete flap (the flap is a separate entity with physical gaps in the span and chord directions) are examined on an UH-60A rotor at high-speed forward-flight conditions. A novel grid deformation scheme based on the Delaunay graph mapping is developed and implemented to allow the computational fluid dynamics modeling of the gaps with minimal distortion of mesh around the flap gap regions. This method offers an alternative to the traditional approach of modeling such configurations using overset meshes. The simulation results show that the effectiveness of the flap is minimally affected with span gaps; the penalty on rotor performance is of the order of 1% compared to the integral flap. On the other hand, the chord gaps significantly degrade the benefits of active flap on rotor performance due to the flow penetration between the upper and lower surfaces of the flap.

For floating-point applications, these FPGA-based processors must satisfy a variety of heuristics and rules of thumb to achieve a speedup compared with their software counterparts. By way of a simple sparse matrix Jacobi iterative solver, this paper illustrates some of the issues associated with mapping floating-point kernels onto HPRCs. The Jacobi method was chosen based on heuristics developed from earlier research. Furthermore, Jacobi is relatively easy to understand, yet is complex enough to illustrate the mapping issues. This paper is not trying to demonstrate the speedup of a particular application nor is it suggesting that Jacobi is the best way to solve equations. The results demonstrate a nearly threefold wall clock runtime speedup when compared with a software implementation. A formal analysis shows that these results are reasonable. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the challenging floating-point mapping process while simultaneously showing that such mappings can result in significant speedups. The ideas revealed by research such as this have already been and should continue to be used to facilitate a more automated mapping process.

Currently, a lack of evidence exists for the effective conservative management of CECS. Altering running mechanics by adopting forefoot running as opposed to heel striking may assist in the treatment of CECS, specifically with anterior compartment symptoms. Case Description: The purpose of this case series is to describe the outcomes for subjects with CECS through a systematic conservative treatment model focused on forefoot running. Subject one was a 21 y/o female with a 4 year history of CECS and subject two was a 21 y/o male, 7 months status-post two-compartment right leg fasciotomy with a return of symptoms and a new onset of symptoms on the contralateral side. Outcome: Both subjects modified their running technique over a period of six weeks. Kinematic and kinetic analysis revealed increased step rate while step length, impulse, and peak vertical ground reaction forces decreased. In addition, leg intracompartmental pressures decreased from pre-training to post-training. Within 6 weeks of intervention subjects increased their running distance and speed absent of symptoms of CECS. Follow-up questionnaires were completed by the subjects at 7 months following intervention; subject one reported running distances up to 12.87 km pain-free and subject two reported running 6.44 km pain-free consistently 3 times a week. Discussion: This case series describes a potentially beneficial conservative management approach to CECS in the form of forefoot running instruction. Further research in this area is warranted to further explore the benefits of adopting a forefoot running technique for CECS as well as other musculoskeletal overuse complaints.

AU - Brechue, William F.

The 100 m sprint is the ultimate expression of running speed. As the 100 m sprint is the product of one-dimensional power, sport performance requires one-dimensional power and the translation of that power into change-of-direction power for performance. These would appear to be very different skills, yet the training techniques are largely similar. The purpose of this paper is to review the characteristics of 100 m sprint performance as related to running speed for sport performance and to explore the mechanical and physiological structure-function relationships that support these performance characteristics. Both sprinting and sport performance require great acceleration which depends heavily on muscular strength and power. Undoubtedly, muscle fiber type plays a critical role in determining running speed. However, muscle architecture, specifically muscle fascicle length and localized muscle distribution (muscle shape), appear to confer even greater performance specificity. Both sprinting and sport performance rely heavily on muscle-tendon stiffness for the efficient application of force for what is ultimately change-of-direction power, but with a different point of emphasis and outcome. While the energetic requirement for competition is significantly different, sprinters and sports performers have similar anaerobic and aerobic capacities suggesting an equivalent metabolic conditioning. Given the dependence of running speed on muscle force/power and similar training adaptations, resistance exercise training appears to be a specific analogue for sprint performance and is critical for improving running speed. Ultimately, it appears that the mechanical and physiological structure-function relationships are quite similar only applied in a different manner for speed and purpose. Gender and race differences in structure-function relationships result in some changes in emphasis for performance and for training.

We addressed these questions in the Millennium Cohort Study, a prospective investigation of U.S. military personnel assessed first in 2001 and then subsequently every three years via self-administered questionnaires. Participants separated from the military at the time of the most recent survey were eligible (n = 10,738). HRQL was assessed using the SF-36V Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Rural status was assigned from zip codes using the Rural-Urban Commuting Area classification. The mean age of participants was 35 years (SD = 8.98). Compared with urban dwellers, rural residents reported significantly lower unadjusted mean PCS (49.80 vs. 50.42) and MCS (49.97 vs. 50.81) scores, but differences became nonsignificant after covariate adjustment. No interaction was seen between deployment and rural status. Rural status is not independently associated with HRQL among recent U.S. veterans.

Burn patients experience extrem pain during wound care, and they typically receive opioid analgesics and anxiolytics for debridement. Virtual Reality (VR) has been applied as an adjunct to opioid analgesics for procedural pain. We describe the first use of ketamine combined with immersive VR to reduce excessive pain during wound care. A 21-year-old male US Army soldier stationed in Iraq, and a 41-year-old civilian male sustained a 13% and 50% total body surface area (TBSA) burn, respectively. Each patient received 40 mg ketamine intraveneous (IV) for wound care. Using a within-subject design, nurses conducted half of a painful segment of wound care treatments with no VR and the other half with immersive VR. Graphic pain rating scores for each of the two treatment conditions served as the dependent variables. Compared to ketamine + no VR, both patients reported less pain during ketamine + VR for all three pain ratings. Both patients rated wound care during no VR as 'no fun at all', but those same patients rated wound care during virtual reality as either 'pretty fun' or 'extremely fun', and rated nausea as either 'mild' or 'none'. Results from these first two cases suggest that a moderate dose of ketamine combined with immersive virtual reality distraction may be an effective multimodal analgesic regimen for reducing acute procedural pain during severe burn wound cleanings.

The capacitance and contact voltage of thin-film, PZT-based relays were measured following incremental ^60Co TID irradiations. The devices were held in several different bias conditions, during exposure. The direction of the biasing electric field during exposure, along with the polarization prior to exposure, has a measurable impact on post-irradiation operating voltage of the relay. In all cases, the switching voltage, as obtained via the peak values in a capacitance versus voltage sweep, shifted in a direction that would minimize the switching electric field in the direction of pre-exposure polarization. These effects were observed to be both significantly greater than the shifts experienced by a set of control samples, as well as reversible via aging at room temperature. The devices display remarkable robustness, operating during active TID exposure [dose rate = 855.6 rad(Si)/s], failing at a TID greater than 15 Mrad(Si).

JO - Networks & Spatial Economics JF - Networks & Spatial Economics Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 13 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 283 EP - 306 SN - 1566113X AB - When optimizing traffic systems using time-expanded network flow models, traffic congestion is an important consideration because it can decrease both the discharge traffic flow rate and speed. One widely used modeling framework is the Cell Transmission Model (CTM) (see Daganzo, Transp Res-B 28(4):269-287, , Transp Res-B 29(2):79-93, ), which is implemented in a linear program (LP) in Ziliaskopoulos (Transp Sci 34(1):37-49, ). While the CTM models the reduction in speed associated with congestion and the backward propagation of congestion, it does not properly model the reduction in discharge flow from a bottleneck after the onset of congestion. This paper discusses this issue and proposes a generalization of the CTM that takes into account this important phenomena. Plainly, an optimization that does not consider this important negative result of congestion can be problematic, e.g., in an evacuation setting such an optimization would assume that congestion does not impact network clearance time, which can result in poor evacuation strategies. In generalizing the CTM, a fairly simple modification is made, yet it can have significant impacts on the results. For instance, we show that for the generalized CTM the traffic holding (a result of the linearization of the CTM flow constraints) plays a more harmful role, which thus requires a scheme to eliminate traffic holding. In this paper, we propose a mixed binary program to eliminate traffic holding, along with methods to improve solvability.

Based on interpreting the seminal work of Magnanti and Wong (Operations Research, 29(3), 464-484, ) for generating nondominated cuts within a multiobjective framework, we propose an algorithmic strategy that utilizes a preemptively small perturbation of the right-hand-side of the Benders subproblem to generate maximal nondominated Benders cuts, as well as a complimentary strategy that generates an additional cut in each iteration via an alternative emphasis on decision variable weights. We also examine the computational effectiveness of solving a secondary subproblem using an objective cut as proposed by Magnanti and Wong versus identifying the Pareto-optimality region for cut generation by utilizing complementary slackness conditions. In addition, we exhibit how a standard feasibility cut can be extracted from the solution of subproblems that generate only optimality cuts through the use of artificial variables. With Magnanti and Wong's baseline procedure approximated during implementation via the use of a core point estimation technique (Papadakos in Computers and Operations Research, 36(1), 176-195, ), these algorithmic strategies are tested on instances from the literature concerning the fixed charge network flow program.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2013/10//10/1/2013 VL - 47 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 11258 EP - 11267 SN - 0013936X AB - Although nanotechnology advancements should be fostered, the environmental health and safety (EHS) of nanoparticles used in technologies must be quantified simultaneously. However, most EHS studies assess the potential implications of the free nanoparticles which may not be directly applicable to the EHS of particles incorporated into in-use technologies. This investigation assessed the aquatic toxicological implications of copper oxide (CuO) nanospheres relative to CuO nanorods used in nanoenergetic applications to improve combustion. Particles were tested in both the as-received form and following combustion of a CuO/aluminum nanothermite. Results indicated nanospheres were more stable in water and slowly released ions, while higher surface area nanorods initially released more ions and were more toxic but generally less stable. After combustion, particles sintered into larger, micrometer-scale aggregates, which may lower toxicity potential to pelagic organisms due to deposition from water to sediment and reduced bioavailability after complexation with sediment organic matter. Whereas the larger nanothermite residues settled rapidly, implying lower persistence in water, their potential to release dissolved Cu was higher which led to greater toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia relative to parent CuO material (nanosphere or rod). This study illustrates the importance of considering the fate and toxicology of nanoparticles in context with their relevant in-use applications.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2013/09/03/ VL - 47 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 9934 EP - 9941 SN - 0013936X AB - Existing methods for perchlorate remediation are hampered by the common co-occurrence of nitrate, which is structurally similar and a preferred electron acceptor. In this work, the potential for perchlorate removal using cell-free bacterial enzymes as biocatalysts was investigated using crude cell lysates and soluble protein fractions of Azospira oryzae PS, as well as soluble protein fractions encapsulated in lipid and polymer vesicles. The crude lysates showed activities between 41 700 to 54 400 U L-1 (2.49 to 3.06 U mg-1 total protein). Soluble protein fractions had activities of 15 400 to 29 900 U L-1 (1.70 to 1.97 U mg-1) and still retained an average of 58.2% of their original activity after 23 days of storage at 4 °C under aerobic conditions. Perchlorate was removed by the soluble protein fraction at higher rates than nitrate. Importantly, perchlorate reduction occurred even in the presence of 500-fold excess nitrate. The soluble protein fraction retained its function after encapsulation in lipid or polymer vesicles, with activities of 13.8 to 70.7 U L-1, in agreement with theoretical calculations accounting for the volume limitation of the vesicles. Further, encapsulation mitigated enzyme inactivation by proteinase K. Enzyme-based technologies could prove effective at perchlorate removal from water cocontaminated with nitrate or sulfate.

JO - Journal of Business & Psychology JF - Journal of Business & Psychology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 28 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 361 EP - 374 SN - 08893268 AB - Purpose: This study examines the issue of change in newcomers' employer-based psychological contract obligations over time, viewing change as a potentially important determinant of perceived contract breach and subsequent employee attitudes and behaviors. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected using a three-wave longitudinal design from newly hired faculty members ( N = 106). Findings: Newcomers' perceptions of employer-based relational obligations significantly decreased during their first year on the job. Newcomers reacted negatively to these changes, subsequently reporting increased contract breach and more negative work attitudes (i.e., increased turnover intentions and reduced job satisfaction and organizational loyalty). Implications: This study provides evidence of the negative effects of perceived changes to a newcomer's psychological contract. Practitioners should implement interventions to ensure a realistic set of psychological contract obligations are developed from the start in order to minimize the likelihood that newcomers will modify these obligations downward; and, therefore, experience these negative attitudes toward the organization. Originality/Value: Drawing from the realistic job preview and socialization literatures, this study examines a topic that has received little empirical attention in the extant psychological contract research, yet has important implications to the management of employees' psychological contracts. Using both a three-wave longitudinal field design and a more rigorous statistical analysis for assessing change (i.e., latent growth curve modeling), we add a unique contribution to the extant research by identifying the negative consequences of psychological contract change on newcomers' subsequent work perceptions and attitudes.

Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

The movement of the phreatic surface depends on recharge, hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and horizontal and vertical flows. The location of the phreatic surface helps define the variably saturated flow domain in the subsurface. The variably saturated flow process in the subsurface is described by a parabolic partial differential equation. In this equation, the hydraulic conductivity and soil moisture capacity are used as the subsurface characteristics. The location of the phreatic surface is governed by a first-order partial differential equation. The governing parabolic partial differential equation is solved using a variational finite element formulation. The first order phreatic surface equation is then solved by loosely coupling with the governing parabolic partial differential equation describing the variably saturated flow. In the present study, a two-dimensional space is used to investigate the movement of the phreatic surface in a variably saturated unconfined flow domain. Based on the time-varying solutions of hydraulic heads, the location of the phreatic surface is simulated in a finite two-dimensional space.

SN - 01676369 AB - New Bedford Harbor (NBH), MA, is a Superfund site because of high polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in the sediment. From April 1994 to September 1995, a remedial dredging operation (termed the “Hot Spot”) removed the most contaminated sediments (PCB concentrations greater than 4000μg/g) from the upper harbor. During remediation, a monitoring program assessed the potential environmental impacts to NBH and adjacent Buzzards Bay. The monitoring program was developed with input from federal, state, and local authorities. Site-specific decision criteria were established to assess net PCB transport, water column toxicity, and PCB bioaccumulation in blue and ribbed mussels ( Mytilus edulis and Geukensia demissa, respectively). The remediation was completed without exceeding PCB net transport or acute toxicity effects specified in the decision criteria. In addition, PCB bioaccumulation in mussels during this time period was not significantly greater than pre- or post-operational measurements. The results indicated that approximately 14000 cubic yards of highly PCB contaminated sediment were permanently removed with minimal environmental effects. The lessons learned during this operation, as well as previous pilot studies at the site, will be used to make full-scale remedial efforts in NBH more efficient and environmentally protective.

SN - 0364152X AB - Loss of grassland species resulting from activities such as off-road vehicle use increases the need for models that predict effects of anthropogenic disturbance. The relationship of disturbance by military training to plant species richness and composition on two soils (Foard and Lawton) in a mixed prairie area was investigated. Track cover (cover of vehicle disturbance to the soil) and soil organic carbon were selected as measures of short- and long-term disturbance, respectively. Soil and vegetation data, collected in 1-m2 quadrats, were analyzed at three spatial scales (60, 10, and 1 m2). Plant species richness peaked at intermediate levels of soil organic carbon at the 10-m2 and 1-m2 spatial scales on both the Lawton and Foard soils, and at intermediate levels of track cover at all three spatial scales on the Foard soil. Species composition differed across the disturbance gradient on the Foard soil but not on the Lawton soil. Disturbance increased total plant species richness on the Foard soil. The authors conclude that disturbance up to intermediate levels can be used to maintain biodiversity by enriching the plant species pool.

Due to the perception of high-intensity rainfall events as occurring more frequently than expected, the Michigan Dept. of Transportation (MDOT) commissioned a study to update rainfall IDF estimates for each of seven durations (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h) and six recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years). In contrast to a traditional at-site frequency analysis using method of moments estimators, this study applied a regional frequency analysis approach based on L-moments. Data were compiled from 76 hourly recording stations and 152 daily recording stations, and trend and outlier analyses were conducted on both annual maximum series (AMS) and partial duration series (PDS) data. With the entire state considered a homogeneous region, two regional index flood models were applied: a generalized Pareto distribution fit to PDS data (PDS/GPA model), and a generalized extreme value distribution fit to AMS data (AMS/GEV model). Verification of results indicated that the revised rainfall IDF estimates provide more reliable values than those previously used.

TG is a precursor in the production of HD and it is also considered as a “Schedule 2” compound (dual-use chemicals with low to moderate commercial use and high-risk precursors). Several toxicological studies on TG were conducted to assess environmental and health effects. The oral LD 50 values were > 5000 mg/kg in rats. It was a mild skin and moderate ocular irritant and was not a skin sensitizer in animals. It was not mutagenic in Ames Salmonella , Escherichia coli , mouse lymphoma, and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, but it induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells. A 90-day oral subchronic toxicity study with neat TG at doses of 0, 50, 500, and 5000 mg/kg/day (5 days/week) in Sprague-Dawley rats results show that there are no treatment-related changes in food consumption, hematology, and clinical chemistry in rats of either sex. The body weights of both sexes were significantly lower than controls at 5000 mg/kg/day. Significant changes were also noted in both sexes in absolute weights of kidneys, kidney to body weight ratios, and kidney to brain weight ratios, in the high-dose group. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for oral toxicity was 500 mg/kg/day. The developmental toxicity conducted at 0, 430, 1290, and 3870 mg/kg by oral gavage showed maternal toxicity in dams receiving 3870 mg/kg. TG was not a developmental toxicant. The NOAEL for the developmental toxicity in rats was 1290 mg/kg. The provisional oral reference dose (RfD) of 0.4 mg/kg/day was calculated for health risk assessments. The fate of TG in the environment and soil showed biological formation of thiodiglycalic acid with formation of an intermediate ((2-hydroxyethyl)thio)acetic acid. It was slowly biodegraded under anaerobic conditions. It was not toxic to bluegill sunfish at 1000 mg/L and its metabolism and environmental and biochemical effects are summarized.

It has been classified as a possible carcinogen (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Risk Information System, 2005, www.epa.gov/IRIS/subst/0313.htm). In order to better understand its gentoxic potential, the authors conducted the in vitro mouse lymphoma forward mutation and the in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assays. Pure RDX (99.99%) at concentrations ranging from 3.93 to 500 μ g/ml showed no cytotoxicity and no mutagenicity in forward mutations at the thymidine kinase (TK) locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, with and without metabolic activation. This finding was also confirmed by repeat assays under identical conditions. In addition, RDX did not induce micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells when tested to the maximum tolerated dose of 250 mg/kg in male mice. These results show that RDX was not mutagenic in these in vitro and in vivo mammalian systems.

SN - 00904341 AB - The explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a prevalent contaminant in many military installations worldwide. Limited knowledge of the comparative toxicity of sediment-associated TNT and related compounds contributes to uncertainty when assessing ecological risks in contaminated sites. Trinitrotoluene undergoes transformation when associated with soils and sediments and typically occurs as a mixture dominated by its reduction products. The objective of this study was to comparatively evaluate the single-compound toxicity of TNT and its major transformation products to the freshwater midge Chironomus tentans in 10-day exposures to sediment spiked with TNT, 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT), or trinitrobenzene (TNB). In addition, the nature of the toxicological interactions of the latter compounds in a mixture was evaluated. Upon spiking to sediment, TNT and TNB rapidly degraded to reduced products, and disappearance of extractable compounds suggested irreversible binding to sediment particles. The high degree of transformation and reactivity occurring during 10 days at spiking concentrations as high as 4000 μmol/kg dry weight suggests that TNT and related compounds are unlikely to be encountered in fine-grained sediments at contaminated sites. Similar to previous investigations, the high reactivity of the spiked compound hampered determination of accurate toxic concentrations of TNT and related compounds, and of the nature of toxicological interaction of compounds in a mixture in this study. Sediment concentrations associated with decreased survival were similar for all four compounds, with the 10-d median lethal concentrations (LC50s) determined using initial concentrations ranging from 175 (2-ADNT) to 605 (2,4-DANT) μmol/kg dry weight. Sublethal decrease in growth was not observed for any compound. Results from the mixture experiment suggest additive interaction among TNT and related compounds in sediment exposures.

SN - 01777971 AB - Due to the increased use of laser and ground-to-satellite communications the need for reliable optical turbulence information is growing. Optical turbulence information is important because it describes an atmospheric effect that can degrade the performance of electromagnetic systems and sensors, e.g., free-space optical communications and infrared imaging. However, analysis of selected past research indicates that there are some areas (i.e., data and models) in which optical turbulence information is lacking. For example, line-of-sight optical turbulence data coupled with atmospheric models in hilly terrain, coastal areas, and within cities are few in number or non-existent. In addition, the bulk of existing atmospheric computer models being used to provide estimates of optical turbulence are basically one-dimensional in nature and assume uniform turbulence conditions over large areas. As a result, current optical turbulence theory and models may be deficient and in error for inhomogeneous (nonuniform) turbulence conditions, such as those that occur in urban environments or environments with changing topography and energy budgets. While it is anticipated that theoretical advances in environmental physics (and like disciplines) will be a catalyst for much new work this area, in the interim, we suggest that some very practical computational research can be performed to extend existing low-atmospheric turbulence and micrometeorological calculations beyond current limitations.

The retrieval algorithm, which is based on four-dimensional variational data assimilation, is applied by using dual- and single-Doppler lidar data that are acquired during the Joint Urban 2003 field experiment. The velocity field that was retrieved using single-Doppler data is compared directly with radial velocities that were measured by a second noncollocated lidar. Dual-Doppler retrievals are also performed and then compared with the single-Doppler retrieval. The linear correlation coefficient and rms deviation between the single-Doppler retrieval and the observations from the second lidar are found to be 0.94 and 1.2 m s-1, respectively. The high correlation is mainly the result of good agreement in the mean vertical structure as observed by the two lidars. Comparisons between the single- and dual-Doppler retrieval indicate that the single-Doppler retrieval underestimates the magnitude of fluctuations in the crossbeam direction. Vertical profiles of horizontally averaged correlations between the single- and dual-Doppler retrievals also show a marginal correlation (0.4–0.8) between one of the horizontal velocity components. Again, this suggests that the retrieval algorithm has difficulty estimating the crossbeam component from single-Doppler data.

Non-human primates (NHPs), specifically the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), the cynomologus macaque (Macaca fascicularis), and the African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops), are vital models in the development of CWA prophylactics, therapeutics, and diagnostics. However, gene expression profiling of these NHPs is complicated by the fact their genomes are not completely sequenced, and that no commercially available oligonucleotide microarrays (genechips) exist. We, therefore, sought to determine whether gene expression profiling of NHPs could be performed using human genechips. Whole blood RNA was isolated from each species and used to generate genechip probes. Hybridization of the NHP samples to human genechips (Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0) resulted in comparable numbers of transcripts detected compared with human samples. Statistical analysis revealed intraspecies reproducibility of genechip quality control metrics; interspecies comparison between NHPs and humans showed little significant difference in the quality and reproducibility of data generated using human genechips. Expression profiles of each species were compared using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering to determine the similarity of the expression profiles within and across the species. The cynomologus group showed the least intraspecies variability, and the human group showed the greatest intraspecies variability. Intraspecies comparison of the expression profiles identified probe sets that were reproducibly detected within each species. Each NHP species was found to be dissimilar to humans; the cynomologus group was the most dissimilar. Interspecies comparison of the expression profiles revealed probe sets that were reproducibly detected in all species examined. These results show that human genechips can be used for expression profiling of NHP samples and provide a foundation for the development of tools for comparing human and NHP gene expression profiles.

This paper presents results from three-dimensional numerical simulations that were conducted to study the helical secondary current (HSC) and the near-field flow distribution around one SW. The simulated flow fields around a SW in a scale physical model were validated using experimental data. The three-dimensional flow fields around a SW, the influence of the SW on general HSC, and the implication of effectiveness of submerged weirs to realign the flow field and improve navigability in bendways were analyzed. The numerical simulations indicated that the SW significantly altered the general HSC. Its presence induced a skewed pressure difference cross its top and a triangular-shaped recirculation to the downstream side. The over-top flow tends to realign toward the inner bank and therefore improves conditions for navigation.

SN - 01676369 AB - A cylindrical dialysis sampler (1.2 m in length; 5 cm in diameter) was designed and constructed to sample small–scale phytoremediation processes in the root zone of poplar trees. The study site was a 183–tree plantation of hybrid poplars located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, at the J–Field Area of Concern. The grove was planted in 1996 to intercept a chlorinated solvent plume containing 1,1,2,2–tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2–TeCA, trichloroethene (TCE) and daughter products. Two dialysis samplers were installed: one directly in the poplar grove (approximately 0.3 m from the trunk of a mature tree) and the other outside of the grove but in the plume. Data collected included concentrations of chlorinated VOCs, organic acids, chloroacetic acids, Cl−, and dissolved gases (ethane, ethene, CH4, CO2). At the control location, the VOC profile was dominated by cis– 1,2–dichloroethene ( cis–1,2–DCE) and trans–1,2–dichloroethene ( trans–1,2–DCE) with concentrations ranging from 0.88-4.5 to 4.4-17.6 mg/L, respectively. Concentrations of VOCs were similar across the vertical profile. At the tree location, 1,1,2,2–TeCA and TCE were the dominant VOCs detected but as opposed to the control location were highly variable within the root zone, with the greatest variability associated with locations in the sampler where roots were observed. This highly variable profile at the tree location is indicative of VOC rhizosphere biodegradation and uptake near the active roots. This variability appears to be on the centimeter scale, emphasizing the importance of these high–resolution samplers for the study of rhizosphere influences.

A weanling swine model was previously developed to evaluate wound healing associated with SM-induced cutaneous injuries. This study was performed to characterize short-term liquid SM exposures using this weanling swine skin model by measuring SM recovery from dosing templates and associated components. Female Yorkshire crossbred swine were exposed cutaneously to approximately 467 mg SM for 15, 20, and 25 seconds as well as for 4, 5, 6, and 7 minutes. At the end of each time period, the dosing template and associated components were removed, the skin was immediately wiped, and the amount of SM present in the dosing template, polytetrafuloroethylene (PTFE) disc, rubber stopper, and towel wipe was measured. The mean total SM extracted from the dosing template, PTFE disc, rubber stopper, and towel wipe decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) over the observed time period with the majority (>99%) of the SM recovered from the dosing template. Significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) amounts of SM were extracted from the PTFE disc over time, whereas a significant time-dependent decrease in SM was extracted from the towel wipes. These results showed significant decreases in total SM recovered from the dosing templates and associated components over the observed time period. The data from this study provide further insight into using the weanling swine skin model for short-term liquid SM exposures. Ultimately, this information may help determine the appropriate length of cutaneous SM exposure resulting in consistent, uniform injuries for evaluating the efficacy of newly developed and existing treatment regimens for SM-induced skin injury.

The advection–diffusion equation was used to investigate the impact of log-normal variation in hydraulic conductivity on both steady-state and transient contaminant flux through a cutoff wall with idealized initial and boundary conditions. The results demonstrate that contaminant flux through cutoff walls increases as the variability in hydraulic conductivity increases while all other variables are held constant, including the area-weighted average conductivity. The effect of variability is most pronounced when advective transport and diffusive transport act in opposite directions, as occurs for circumferential cutoff walls that are operated with inward-directed hydraulic gradients to contain contaminated ground water. In this case, the increase in total outward flux due to variability of hydraulic conductivity occurs because the increase in inward advective flux in areas where the seepage velocity is higher than average is more than offset by the increase in outward diffusive flux in areas where the seepage velocity is lower than average.

SN - 00068314 AB - Turbulent and mean meteorological data collected at five levels on a 20-m tower over the Arctic pack ice during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) are analyzed to examine different regimes of the stable boundary layer (SBL). Eleven months of measurements during SHEBA cover a wide range of stability conditions, from the weakly unstable regime to very stable stratification. Scaling arguments and our analysis show that the SBL can be classified into four major regimes: (i) surface-layer scaling regime (weakly stable case), (ii) transition regime, (iii) turbulent Ekman layer, and (iv) intermittently turbulent Ekman layer (supercritical stable regime). These four regimes may be considered as the basic states of the traditional SBL. Sometimes these regimes, especially the last two, can be markedly perturbed by gravity waves, detached elevated turbulence (‘upside down SBL’), and inertial oscillations. Traditional Monin–Obukhov similarity theory works well in the weakly stable regime. In the transition regime, Businger–Dyer formulations work if scaling variables are re-defined in terms of local fluxes, although stability function estimates expressed in these terms include more scatter compared to the surface-layer scaling. As stability increases, the near-surface turbulence is affected by the turning effects of the Coriolis force (the turbulent Ekman layer). In this regime, the surface layer, where the turbulence is continuous, may be very shallow (< 5 m). Turbulent transfer near the critical Richardson number is characterized by small but still significant heat flux and negligible stress. The supercritical stable regime, where the Richardson number exceeds a critical value, is associated with collapsed turbulence and the strong influence of the earth’s rotation even near the surface. In the limit of very strong stability, the stress is no longer a primary scaling parameter.

The theoretical background for the model is based on a variational analysis using mass conservation as a constraint. The model was designed for diagnostic wind simulation at the microscale in complex terrain and in urban areas. The numerical implementation takes advantage of a multigrid method that greatly improves the computation speed. Three preliminary test cases for the model’s numerical efficiency and its accuracy are given. The model results are compared with an analytical solution for flow over a hemisphere. Flow over a bell-shaped hill is computed to demonstrate that the numerical method is applicable in the case of parameterized lee vortices. A simulation of the mean wind field in an urban domain has also been carried out and compared with observational data. The comparison indicated that the multigrid method takes only 3%–5% of the time that is required by the traditional Gauss–Seidel method.

Eight species of Bacillus, including five new species, and one new species of Kurthia were isolated from the cigarettes. Some of these species have been identified elsewhere as causes of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other respiratory syndromes. All of the isolates were facultative anaerobes, and many displayed mucoid growth under anaerobic conditions. In addition, many isolates also displayed the ability to form surface biofilms under liquid culture. Although biofilm formation and mucoid growth were not correlated, the former was found to be much more pronounced under anaerobic conditions as opposed to aerobic ones. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The war in Iraq has spanned the full spectrum of military operations: intense combat, stability-and-support operations, and peacetime activities. Regardless of their nature and relative intensity, military operations are shaped by the characteristics of the military operating environment. Consequently, the scale, tempo, and complexity of any type of military endeavor are linked to the physical and cultural landscapes of the region in which it is conducted. Military geographers use geographical information, tools, and techniques to examine those links. Iraq's operating environment is studied to identify the relevant components of its physical and human geography. This military geographical examination of Iraq tells us a great deal about how the physical and cultural environment have influenced the war, as well as how the complexity of its human landscape continues to affect the postwar rebuilding of the country.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2005/07//Jul/Aug2005 VL - 24 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 221 EP - 229 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Considerable concentrations of the explosive, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) have been found in the soil at many installations where explosives have been used, manufactured, assembled, or destroyed. To evaluate risk to avian receptors, measures of exposure are compared with a threshold level of sublethal toxicity. To date, a single feeding study has evaluated the responses of oral TNT exposure to birds with equivocal results regarding sublethal effects. The present study followed a controlled dosing regime comprising four dose groups and a control (200, 120, 70, 20, and 0 mg TNT/kg body weight [bw]-day) in the common pigeon ( Columba livia ) for 60 days. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes between 2 and 3 weeks of exposure. Signs included weight loss, neuromuscular effects (e.g., ataxia, tremors, etc.), and scant red feces (chromaturia). Emetic events following dosing were common and proportional to dose; however, attempts to quantify vomitus compound concentration suggests that birds were marginally successful at removing TNT following administration. Eight of 12 and 2 of 12 males and females died or were moribund in the 200 and 120 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Changes in hematological parameters, liver, kidney, and ovary weights were related to treatment. Dose-related changes in plasma albumin and sodium concentrations were also observed. These results suggest that subchronic exposure to TNT can adversely affect the central nervous system and hematological parameters in birds. Chemical analysis of blood detected concentrations of the two primary reduction metabolites, but not parent compound, suggesting that toxicity may be due to the bioaccumulation of a toxic intermediate.

Two isomers of dinitrotoluene (2,4- and 2,6-) are often found in soil associated with those activities at considerable concentrations. Consequently, issues regarding the effects of exposure to birds that visit these habitats require evaluation. To provide data useful to a risk assessment approach, we followed a controlled dosing regime (gavage) using 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) in the Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ) for 60 days following a 14-day range-finding study and the determination of a LD 50 using the up/down method. The LD 50 was determined to be 55 mg/kg using corn oil as a vehicle. Individuals dosed exceeding this level were moribund or died within 60 h of exposure. Morbidity and death occurred during the 14-day range-finding study at dosing regimens of 35 and 55, but not at 15, 5, and 0.5 mg/kg-day. Compound-related morbidity/mortality occurred in the 60-day study during the first week of exposure at 25 and 15, but not at 5, 1, and 0 mg/kg-day. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes at the onset of exposure. Signs included weight loss, diarrhea, and lethargy. Dose-related changes in egg production, ovary, kidney, and brain mass, and body weight, but not feed consumption, were found. Changes in kidney mass and histological observations suggest accumulation of nitrogenous waste may be the cause of morbidity. These data suggest that oral 2,4-DNT exposures are more acutely toxic and has a different etiology than 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in birds.

The emphasis of this paper is on the overall performance of these models in coastal inlets. Both wave models are similar in that they employ a finite-difference method to solve the wave action conservation equation for the steady-state wave spectral transformation. However, these models differ in the computation of diffraction, reflection, wave breaking, and representation of the directional spectrum transformation. The models’ performance is compared with a new set of physical model data for four different idealized inlet configurations. Wave height is measured in the physical model by a linear array of capacitance wave gauges, and wave direction is measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system. The comparison with data is presented as mean absolute relative errors of wave height and mean absolute difference of wave direction. Both wave models produced similar results, but neither could accurately describe waves observed in the physical model in inlets and near structures. The mean absolute relative error of wave height prediction from models was between 22 and 40% as compared with the measured data. The mean absolute error of wave direction estimates ranged from 5 to 12 degrees. Overall, wave direction estimates from GHOST in inlets and near structures compared slightly better with measurements.

In this study, we evaluated approximately 2180 m (7,152 ft) of painted Douglas-fir siding salvaged from U.S. Army barracks. Utilizing a conventional woodworking molder, we evaluated the feasibility of producing several standardized wood product profiles, including flooring, bevel siding, and paneling. Evaluation of visual quality followed by remanufacture of siding coated with lead-based paint indicated that valuable wood products could be produced from the salvaged siding; however, this value is dependent on several factors, including the original quality (grade) as well as the extent of damage (e.g., nail holes, splits, discoloration, decay. weathering). We conclude that wood siding salvaged from military buildings can be successfully remanufactured into value-added products. Tongue & groove (T&G) flooring is a promising product in particular since short pieces of siding can be utilized. As much as 50 percent of the weight of salvaged siding can be diverted from landfill disposal by remanufacturing into T&G flooring. In addition, the market value of T&G flooring may be less affected by nail holes in the salvaged siding. We estimate that T&G flooring has a potential sale value of $3 to $6 per square foot and remanufactured Douglas-fir millwork has a potential producer sale value of about $1.20 to $1.90 per board foot.

In our nation's building infrastructure, millions of meters of high quality salvageable lumber have been coated with LBP. The study presented in this and a companion paper investigated the feasibility of producing several standardized wood product profiles, including flooring, bevel siding, and paneling, from salvaged LBP-coated wood. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of worker and workplace exposure to lead during wood remilling operations. Approximately 2180 m (7,152 ft) of painted Douglas-fir drop siding salvaged from deconstructed U.S. Army barracks was evaluated. Results indicate that when properly sized and specified, commonly available woodworking machinery and dust collection systems can be used to safely profile, filter, and collect waste LBP shavings and dust from remachining operations. Lead exposure to workers in the vicinity of remanufacturing operations was found to be less than one-tenth that of the OSHA permissible exposure limit for indoor lead exposure. In addition, lead present on the produced wood product was found to be a fraction of that found on the original painted wood material.

SN - 00074861 AB - The paper assesses the bioavailability of mirex in surface sediments from a contaminated area of Lake Ontario using a standard freshwater bioaccumulation test with the aquatic oligochaete worm, Lumbriculus variegatus. The species is a surficial sediment deposit feeder used in prescribed Great Lakes sediment bioaccumulation tests. The sediment samples for the study were collected in 2003 at a 20-meter deep open-lake area off the south shore of Lake Ontario near Rochester Harbor in Rochester, Monroe County in New York. The use of theoretical bioaccumulation potential estimated from empirically derived Biota-Sediment Accumulation Factors provides a simple, cost-effective, screening tool for estimating the bioaccumulation of sediment-associated mirex and other non-polar organic compounds from sediments.

T1 - Miotic Tolerance to Sarin Vapor Exposure: Role of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems. JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2005/06// VL - 85 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1041 EP - 1047 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - O-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate, also known as sarin or GB, is a highly toxic organophosphorous compound that exerts its effect by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. While the effects of a single exposure to GB vapor are well characterized, the effects of multiple exposures to GB vapor are less clear. Previous studies in the rat and guinea pig have demonstrated that multiple exposures result in tolerance to the miotic effect of nerve agents. The aim of the present study was to examine potential mechanisms responsible for tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor that has been observed in the rat after multiple exposures. Multiple whole-body inhalation exposures to GB vapor were conducted in a dynamic airflow chamber. Exposures lasted 60 min and each of the three exposures occurred at 24-h intervals. The results of the present study demonstrate that the α-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine and the β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol did not affect the development of tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor, suggesting that enhanced sympathetic tone to the eye is not responsible for the observed tolerance. Administration of atropine before the first exposure prevented the tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor after the third exposure, suggesting that the tolerance is the result of muscarinic receptor desensitization secondary to receptor stimulation. The present study extends the findings of previous studies to strengthen the hypothesis that the miotic tolerance observed in the rat upon repeated exposure to nerve agents is due to desensitization of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors located on the pupillary sphincter.

High winds generate large amounts of sea spray, which can modify the transfer of momentum, heat, and moisture across the air–sea interface. However, the extent to which sea spray can modify extratropical or midlatitude hurricanes and intense cyclones has not been resolved. This paper reports simulations of extratropical Hurricanes Earl (1998) and Danielle (1998) and an intense winter cyclone from January 2000 using a mesoscale atmospheric model and a recent sea spray parameterization. These simulations show that sea spray can increase the sea surface heat flux, especially the latent heat flux, in a midlatitude cyclone and that sea spray’s impact on cyclone intensity depends on the storm structure and development and is strongest for cyclones with high winds.

SN - 00187208 AB - This study investigates operation efficiency and user satisfaction for spatial and temporal shapes of augmented force-feedback fields to be used with computer pointing devices in target acquisition tasks. In an experiment, three different force-field shapes at two different mean force levels were compared, with an electromechanical force-feedback trackball as control device and with efficiency and user satisfaction as dependent variables. Efficiency was measured by the time required to perform a certain task, and user satisfaction was measured through a subjective rating procedure. Satisfaction results indicate that to a rough approximation, participants can be grouped into those who prefer high and those who prefer low force levels. Members of the former group were most satisfied with force fields with a gradual start and an abrupt ending. This force-field shape also proved to be the most efficient for both groups. When all participants were considered as a single group, none of the effects was found to be statistically significant. A gender effect was also found; in both preference groups women achieved significantly shorter task completion times than men. Actual or potential applications of this research include enabling computer interaction for people prone to repetitive strain injuries and the increment of efficiency and satisfaction in human-computer interaction in general.

First we review relevant similar efforts and then describe the digitization of the watershed into a network of cells through which watershed internal flows are routed. We present the technology used on the Kalamazoo River to create grids of topography, soils, land use, and vegetation data. We describe the calibration of both lumped-parameter and distributed-parameter runoff models on the Kalamazoo River and use observed spatial data variations in our parameter determinations. We investigate alternative evapotranspiration schemes, spatial parameter patterns, solar insolation interpretations, and temporal scaling and compare model results. We suggest model extensions for future work.

JO - Environmental Engineering Science JF - Environmental Engineering Science Y1 - 2005/05// VL - 22 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 294 EP - 309 PB - Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. SN - 10928758 AB - Using a plasma arc torch to vitrify soils contaminated with solid and hazardous wastes produces an extremely durable product greatly reduced in volume and surface area. Although vitrification is understood in principle, thermal and geochemical changes occurring in contaminated soils during vitrification are poorly characterized. In this work, these changes were studied by first constructing a theoretical model and then performing laboratory scale vitrification experiments. The theoretical model is founded on standard heat transfer equations. The model predictions were used to design the subsequent experiments. The model successfully predicted a 100 °C temperature plateau and the width of the vitrified zone formed using kilowatt-size torches. The model indicated that most melting occurs in the first 30 min after the torch is turned on, suggesting that powering the torch for long periods of time is inefficient. The model also showed that melting below the groundwater table is energy inefficient. Laboratory experiments were conducted by filling a 4-foot tall, 4-foot diameter cylinder with compacted soil doped with CsHCO and HoO and inserting a plasma torch in a centrally located borehole. Thermocouples installed at various distances from the torch revealed an extremely steep thermal gradient. Soil and glass samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The glasses produced were more homogenous than the starting soil, indicating vigorous convection within the molten zone. Water, organic compounds, and silica were strongly volatilized during vitrification; lead (Pb) had the highest volatility of all trace elements studied, and no significant cesium volatility was observed.

In this study, acoustic-based seagrass mapping techniques were used to generate detailed maps of seagrass distribution before and after dredging operations. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) within Scituate Harbor, MA, was monitored during mid-summer in 2001, 2003, and 2004; navigation maintenance dredging of the harbor was performed during fall 2002. Similar surveys were also performed during the same timeframe at an un-dredged harbor near Wood Island, Maine. Two types of potential impacts were examined. Direct impacts involved physical removal of vegetation along with the dredged sediments. Indirect impacts in adjacent un-dredged areas may occur as a result of increased turbidity and/or siltation associated with dredging activities. Using hydroacoustic techniques, we were able to easily map and quantify direct impacts to eelgrass resources. Assessment of indirect impacts, however, was more complex. In the first post-dredging survey, a substantial reduction in coverage occurred in adjoining un-dredged areas, suggesting possible indirect impacts. This was followed by a modest recovery between the first and second post-dredging years. However, monitoring of other un-dredged sites within the region showed natural year-to-year variations in eelgrass coverage to be almost as large as those occurring at the dredged site. Results emphasize the need for long-term data to discern any potential effects of dredging on seagrass dynamics as opposed to a host of other factors contributing to high variability in measured parameters.

The steps include initial application, grid refinements, addition of living resources, and grid refinements with recalibration. Performance statistics are presented for the mainstem bay and for the James River, a major tributary. Computed salinity has the lowest relative error. Computed total phosphorus and surface chlorophyll have the greatest relative error. Errors in the bay are lower than in the James River. The capacity of the model has increased substantially over more than a decade but quantitative performance, measured by the summary statistics, has reached a plateau. Limited spatial sampling, uncertainty in loading, and difficulty in assigning boundary conditions are among the factors that limit the accuracy that can be attained with the model.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2005/05// VL - 21 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 522 EP - 534 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - The widely accepted assumption that the equilibrium beach profile in the surf zone corresponds with uniform wave-energy dissipation per unit volume is directly examined in six cases from the large-scale SUPERTANK laboratory experiment. Under irregular waves, the pattern of wave-energy dissipation across a large portion of the surf zone became relatively uniform as the beach profile evolved toward equilibrium. Rates of wave-energy dissipation across a near-equilibrium profile calculated from wave decay in the surf zone support the prediction derived by DEAN(1977). Substantially different equilibrium beach-profile shapes and wave-energy dissipation rates and patterns were generated for regular waves as compared to irregular waves of similar statistical significant wave height and spectral peak period. Large deviation of wave-energy dissipation from the equilibrium rate occurred at areas on the beach profile with active net cross-shore sediment transport and substantial sedimentation and erosion. The rate of wave-energy dissipation was greater at the main breaker line and in the swash zone, as compared to middle of the surf zone. Based on analysis of the SUPERTANK data, a simple equation is developed for predicting the height of irregular waves in the surf zone on an equilibrium profile. The decay in wave height is proportional to the water depth to the one-half power, as opposed to values of unity or greater derived previously for regular waves.

The tests were conducted using two boxes with electrode spacing of 87 cm (Box 1) and 174 cm (Box 2). The soil was formed of a sandy layer on top of a clayey sand layer. The soil contained bullet fragments and the mean initial lead concentration in the minus 2.00 mm soil fraction was 3041 mg/kg and 1187 mg/kg in the sand and clayey sand layers, respectively. A current density of 1.3 A/m2 was used in both tests and was doubled after 112 days of processing. organic acid was used to maintain the catholyte pH between 4 and 5. Box 1 and Box 2 were processed for 9 months and 11 months, respectively. The results showed that organic acid amendment at the cathode reduced the voltage and energy requirement by 70% and enhanced lead extraction. Lead transport showed a delay of about 14 days in the initial transport front development. For the conditions described in this study, the reactive rate of lead transport by ion migration and electroosmosis was 0.4 cm/day under 1 V/cm, which is less than 10% of the theoretical nonreactive value. There was a minimum limit for lead extraction from the soil by electrokinetics. Final lead concentrations in the treated sections were around 500 mg/kg in the sand and 400 mg/kg in the clayey sand. The results represent a reduced lead concentration by 85% in the sand and by 70% in the clayey sand. Complete breakthrough of lead did not occur due to accumulation near the cathode, even though catholyte pH was 4 to 5. A transverse upward transport and accumulation of lead at the soil surface was observed in both tests. Treatment duration of 9 months was adequate for Box 1, while 11 months of processing was not enough for Box 2 to bring the total lead concentration to below 500 mg/kg across the soil. Electrical energy cost for the process was between $14 and $18 per cubic meter per month.

A principle reason is the difficulty in linking engineering models used to simulate physicochemical processes associated with project design or operation with biological models used to simulate biological population attributes. A retrospective shows that each modeling tradition can be generally assigned (with exceptions) into either an Eulerian or Lagrangian reference framework. Eulerian and Lagrangian reference frameworks can be coupled to create a new synthesis, the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Hybrid Ecological Modeling Concept (CEL Hybrid Concept), capable of simulating different ecosystem processes that range widely in spatial and temporal scale. The foundation of the CEL Hybrid Concept is the coupler, a collection of algorithms based on conservation principles that transform and conserve data in a way that allows the two frameworks to share a common information base. The coupling algorithm allows the simulation to aggregate, disaggregate, and translate information, as required by each framework, so that processes that differ substantially in scale can each be adequately simulated. The coupled system is illustrated by linking a fish swim path selection model with a hydrodynamic and water quality model.

The three most important natural processes affecting the long-term settlement and thus service life of dredged material placement areas are primary consolidation, secondary compression, and desiccation. Nonlinear finite-strain consolidation theory is used to predict the settlement due to self-weight and surcharge-induced consolidation. The Cα/Cc concept is used to predict the settlement from secondary compression, and an empirical desiccation model is used to describe the settlement from removal of water from confined dredged material by surface drying. This paper describes the modifications and improvements of PSDDF that present new functions and enhanced numerical efficiency. A companion paper describes the input parameters of PSDDF.

In addition, consolidation and desiccation parameters for 27 dredged materials are presented from 20 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers placement areas to facilitate usage of PSDDF. The consolidation parameters of three cohesionless soils for sand capping and drainage and three compressible foundation materials are included to provide a PSDDF user with suitable parameters for these material types. To reduce the difficulty of obtaining the consolidation and desiccation parameters for dredged material, empirical correlations between the required parameters and soil index properties are presented.

JO - Environmental Forensics JF - Environmental Forensics Y1 - 2005/03// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 55 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15275922 AB - Field sampling experiments were conducted at various locations on training ranges at three military installations within North America. The areas investigated included an anti-tank range firing point, an anti-tank range impact area, an artillery-range firing point, and an artillery-range impact area. The purpose of this study was to develop practical sampling strategies to reliably estimate mean concentrations of residues from munitions found in surface soil at various types of live-fire training ranges. The ranges studied differ in the types of energetic residues deposited and the mode of deposition. In most cases, the major source zones for these residues are the top two or three centimeters of soil. Multi-increment sampling was used to reduce the variance between field sample replicates and to enhance sample representativeness. Based on these criteria the results indicate that a single or a few discrete samples do not provide representative data for these types of sites. However, samples built from at least 25 increments provided data that was sufficiently representative to allow for the estimation of energetic residue mass loading in surface soils and to characterize the training activity at a given location, thereby addressing two objectives that frequently are common to both environmental and forensic investigations.

SN - 07490208 AB - The sediment budget is fundamental in coastal science and engineering. Budgets allow estimates to be made of the volume or volume rate of sediment entering and exiting a defined region of the coast and the surplus or deficit remaining in that region. Sediment budgets have been regularly employed with variations in approaches to determine the sources and sinks through application of the primary conservation of mass equation. Historically, sediment budgets have been constructed and displayed (in paper or maps. Challenges in constructing a sediment budget include determining the appropriate boundaries of the budget and interior cells; defining the possible range of sediment transport pathways, and the relative magnitude of each; representing the uncertainty associated with values and assumptions in the budget; and testing the sensitivity of the series of budgets to variations in the unknown and temporally-changing values. These challenges are usually addressed by representing a series of budget alternatives that are ultimately drawn on paper, maps, or graphs. Applications of the methodology include detailed local-scale sediment budgets, such as for an inlet or beach fill project, and large-scale sediment budgets for the region surrounding the study area. The local-scale budget has calculation cells representing features on the order of 10a to 100s of meters, and it must he shown separately from the regional sediment budget, with cells ranging from 100s of meters to kilometers. This paper reviews commonly applied sediment budget concepts and introduces new considerations intended to make the sediment budget process more reliable, streamlined, and understandable. The need for both local and regional sediment budgets is discussed, and the utility of combining, or collapsing, cells is shown to he beneficial for local budgets within a regional system. Collapsing all cells within the budget creates a "macrobudget," which can be applied to check for overall balance of values. An automated means of changing the magnitude of terms, while maintaining the same dependency on other values within the sediment budget, is presented. Finally, the need for and method of tracking uncertainty within the sediment budget, and a means for conducting sensitivity analyses, are discussed. These new concepts are demonstrated within the Sediment Budget Analysis System with an application for Long Island, New York, and Ocean City Inlet, Maryland.

SN - 00068314 AB - A 4-month deployment on Ice Station Weddell (ISW) in the western Weddell Sea yielded over 2000 h of nearly continuous surface-level meteorological data, including eddy-covariance measurements of the turbulent surface fluxes of momentum, and sensible and latent heat. Those data lead to a new parameterization for the roughness length for wind speed, z0, for snow-covered sea ice that combines three regimes: an aerodynamically smooth regime, a high-wind saltation regime, and an intermediate regime between these two extremes where the macroscale or `permanent' roughness of the snow and ice determines z0. Roughness lengths for temperature, zT, computed from this data set corroborate the theoretical model that Andreas published in 1987. Roughness lengths for humidity,zQ, do not support this model as conclusively but are all, on average, within an order of magnitude of its predictions. Only rarely arezTand zQ equal to z0. These parameterizations have implications for models that treat the atmosphere-ice-ocean system.

SN - 07490208 AB - Restoration projects have an uncertain outcome because of a lack of information about current site conditions, historical disturbance levels, effects of landscape alterations on site development, unpredictable trajectories or patterns of ecosystem structural development, and many other factors. Because of these uncertainties, project costs can rise dramatically in an attempt to come closer to project goals. All of the potential sources of error can be addressed to a certain degree through adaptive management. The first step is admitting that these uncertainties can exist, and addressing as many of the uncertainties with planning and directed research prior to implementing the project. The second step is to evaluate uncertainties through hypothesis-drive experiments during project implementation. The third step is to use the monitoring program to evaluate and adjust the project as needed to improve the probability that the project will reach its goal. The fourth and final step is to use the information gained in the project to improve future projects. A framework that includes a clear goal statement, a conceptual model, and an evaluation framework can help in this adaptive restoration process. Projects and programs vary in their application of adaptive management in restoration, and it is very difficult to be highly prescriptive in applying adaptive management to projects that necessarily vary widely in scope, goal, ecosystem characteristics, and uncertainties. One project, which included directed research and site assessments, resulted in successful restoration of seagrasses near a ferry terminal in Puget Sound and illustrates how an adaptive management process can assist in improving the outcome of small projects. We recommended that all restoration programs be conducted in adaptive management framework, and where appropriate, a more active adaptive management approach be applied.

To identify neuropathic indices of toxicity, the effects of varying concentrations (0 to 2 mM) of TNB on cytotoxicity and cellular metabolic activity were examined using cultured astrocytes from Fischer-344 rats. The cytotoxicity was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage into the culture medium. Astrocyte metabolic activity was assessed by measuring the conversion of a tetrazolium salt to a formazan product. Additionally, the effects of oxidative stress on cellular metabolic activity were determined by varying oxygen tension via alteration of culture media depth. In vitro, the toxic concentration 50% (TC 50 ) of TNB, which induced cell death, was 16 µM following a 24-h exposure. The concentration of TNB that reduced cellular metabolic activity by 50% was 29 µM following a 24-h exposure. Varying the depth of the culture media did not influence the cellular metabolic activity in control or TNB-treated astrocytes. These results support the hypothesis that TNB induced neurotoxicity could partially be mediated via injury to astrocytes, a major component of the blood-brain barrier.

Design: Utilizing a 6 × 3 within-subject experimental design, 24 normal-hearing Virginia Tech Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets and active duty soldiers participated. Study sample: Five HPEDS and TCAP devices plus the open ear were tested. On each trial, either wearing a device or with open ears, subjects walked along a 3000-foot line of discrete distance markers toward the auditory threat, which was not visible but still within line-of-sight over flat terrain, stopping to listen when instructed. On approach to the threat, the linear distance at first detection was measured, followed by a continued approach until positive identification occurred. Then the subject reversed direction, retreating away from the threat until detection was lost. Results: ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied to determine statistically-significant differences among HPEDs, TCAPS, and the open ear on the objective detection and identification distance measures. Conclusions: The results have serious implications for selection of HPDs, HPEDs, and TCAPS for applications where preservation of auditory situational awareness via the fundamental detection and identification tasks are essential.

AB - Soldiers are required to perform basic combat tasks, such as move, shoot, and communicate, and to make decisions under many environmental stressors, including continuous operations and information-processing tasks driven by C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and other types of information systems. Knowledge requires information processing, and increased processing is usually the root cause of increased error. Friend-or-foe decision-making research has primarily focused on the types of equipment being used and task difficulty levels to examine shoot–don’t shoot errors; however, newer theoretical approaches may enhance cognitive performance research and models focused on decision-making performance. Higher explanatory power and better prediction models may be created using multitheoretical individual factors derived from transactional-stress and information-processing theories. The purpose of this study was to examine multitheoretical individual factor effects of emotional and cognitive predictor variables under dual-task simulated shoot–don’t shoot target scenarios. A quantitative repeated-measures approach was used with a convenience sample of 12 U.S. Army soldiers ages 18 to 34 years.

AB - It seems strange to claim that it is dangerous for organizations to achieve the success they seek; however, there are numerous cases of successful organizations facing decline soon after achieving success. This often occurs because these organizations fall into the trap of focusing too much on execution once they achieve success, which causes them to neglect the innovative approach that enabled achieving success in the first place. To avoid this trap, leaders must ensure that their organizations have a clearly identified and transformative purpose that guides organizational member work and inspires them to improve. The leader must also ensure that there is a well‐established and understood process for improvement that facilitates learning and innovation. Finally, the leader must model, and organizational policies must reflect, the proper balance between execution and innovation.

AB - Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield − the 1991 Gulf War (GW) − are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently concluded that approximately 25–32% of this population suffers from a disorder characterized by symptoms that vary somewhat among individuals and include fatigue, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, musculoskeletal pain, and respiratory, gastrointestinal and dermatologic complaints. Gulf War illness (GWI) is the term used to describe this disorder. In addition, brain cancer occurs at increased rates in subgroups of GW veterans, as do neuropsychological and brain imaging abnormalities. Chemical exposures have become the focus of etiologic GWI research because nervous system symptoms are prominent and many neurotoxicants were present in theater, including organophosphates (OPs), carbamates, and other pesticides; sarin/cyclosarin nerve agents, and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) medications used as prophylaxis against chemical warfare attacks. Psychiatric etiologies have been ruled out. This paper reviews the recent literature on the health of 1991 GW veterans, focusing particularly on the central nervous system and on effects of toxicant exposures. In addition, it emphasizes research published since 2008, following on an exhaustive review that was published in that year that summarizes the prior literature (RACGWI, 2008). We conclude that exposure to pesticides and/or to PB are causally associated with GWI and the neurological dysfunction in GW veterans. Exposure to sarin and cyclosarin and to oil well fire emissions are also associated with neurologically based health effects, though their contribution to development of the disorder known as GWI is less clear. Gene-environment interactions are likely to have contributed to development of GWI in deployed veterans. The health consequences of chemical exposures in the GW and other conflicts have been called 'toxic wounds' by veterans. This type of injury requires further study and concentrated treatment research efforts that may also benefit other occupational groups with similar exposure-related illnesses.

Evaluation of past performance of masonry structures has led to more stringent design and construction requirements in the current building codes, and has raised concerns about the performance of existing lightly reinforced and unreinforced masonry buildings in future earthquakes. Base isolation has been shown to be effective in reducing damage to large building structures, and appears to be particularly effective in protecting stiff masonry structures. Using the base isolation principle, Kansas State University’s stiffness decoupler for the base isolation of structures (SDBIS) was designed to effectively reduce the acceleration and force transferred into a building superstructure during a seismic event. The sliding system uses a passive method to provide damping and to dissipate some of the kinetic energy to reduce relative displacements. In addition, the SDBIS system includes a self-centering element that will recover the majority of the induced displacement and provide resistance to overturning. In order to apply the SDBIS system to the masonry building industry, dynamic testes were performed to evaluate the structural response of a full-size one-story masonry model that was supported by the SDBIS system. Acceleration time-history results are presented for dynamic tests using the July 21, 1952 Kern County earthquake, Station 1095 Taft Lincoln School record, the May 19, 1940 Imperial Valley earthquake, Station 117 El Centro Array #9 record, the February 9, 1971 San Fernando earthquake, Station 279 Pacoima Dam record, and the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake, Station 24436 Tarzana Cedar Hill record ground motions. Test results show the system is effective when used with a masonry structure.

The Upham Brook Watershed is an urban watershed that lies at the interface of declining inner-city Richmond, Virginia, and growth-oriented Henrico County. A section of stream within the watershed has been identified as so dangerously polluted that it threatens the health of the residents who live within the watershed boundaries. With funding provided by the National Science Foundation, the Upham Brook Watershed project committee was formed to address the quality of the Upham Brook Watershed; it consisted of experts from multiple disciplines: stream ecology, environmental policy, water policy, ground and surface water hydrology and quality, aquatic biology, political science, sociology, citizen participation, community interaction, psychology, and decision and risk analysis. Each member's values and goals were brought together using a watershed management framework to meet the overall objective of the committee: to maximize the quality of the Upham Brook Watershed. The resulting model was used to identify the largest value gaps and to identify future programs needed to improve the quality of the watershed.

Medical Defense Against Mustard Gas: Toxic Mechanisms and Pharmacological Implications. Boca Raton: CRC Press, pp. 43-78.], is a chemical warfare agent as well as a potential terrorism agent. SM-induced skin blistering is believed to be due to epidermal-dermal detachment as a result of epidermal basal cell death via apoptosis and/or necrosis. Regarding the role of apoptosis in SM pathology in animal skin, the results obtained in several laboratories. including ours, suggest the following: 11 cell death due to SM begins via apoptosis that proceeds to necrosis via an apoptotic-necrotic continuum and 2) inhibiting apoptosis decreases SM-induced microvesication in vivo. To study the mechanisms of SM- induced apoptosis and its prevention in vitro, we have established a convenient fluorometric apoptosis assay using monolayer human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK) adaptable for multiwell plates (24-, 96-, or 384-well) and high-throughput applications. This assay allows replication and multiple types of experimental manipulation in sister cultures so that the apoptotic mechanisms and the effects of test compounds can be compared statistically. SM affects diverse cellular mechanisms, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ homeostasis, mitochondrial functions, energy metabolism, and death receptors, each of which can independently trigger apoptosis. However, the biochemical pathway in any of these apoptotic mechanisms is characterized by a pathway-specific sequence of caspases, among which caspase-3 is a key member. Therefore, we exposed 80-9O%confluent HEK cultures to SM and monitored apoptosis by measuring the fluorescence generated due to hydrolysis of a fluorogen caspase-3 substrate (acetyl- or benzyl oxycarhonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp- fluorochrorne, also designated as AC-or Z-DEVD- fluorochrome) added to the assay medium. Fluorescence was measured using a plate reader. We used two types of substrates, one Sigma-Aldrich, CASP-3-F) required cell disruption and the other (Beckman-Coulter CeliProbe HI Caspase-3/7 Whole Cell Assay Kit) was cell permeable. The latter substrate was useful in experiments such as determining the time-course of apoptosis immediately following SM exposure without disruption (e.g., due to cell processing). In SM-exposed HEK, fluorescence generated from the fluorogenic caspase-3 substrate hydrolysis increased in a time (0-24 h) and concentration (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 mM) dependent manner. SM caused maximum fluorescence at about 0.5 mM. However, at 2 mM SM, fluorescence decreased compared with 0.5 mM, which remains to be explained. Following 0.3 mM SM exposure, which is considered to be the in vitro equivalent of a vesicating dose in vivo (Smith, W. J., Sanders, K. M., Ruddle, S. E., Gross, C. L. (1993). Cytometric analysis of DNA changes induced by sulfur mustard. J. Toxicol.-Cut. Ocular Toxicol. 124):337 -347.), a small fluorescence increase was observed at 6 to S h, which was markedly higher at 12 h. At 24 h. all SM concentrations increased fluorescence. Fluorescence increase due to SM was prevented 100% by a caspase-3-specific peptide inhibitor AC-DEVD-CI1O (acetyl-Azp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde, 0.1 mM), but less effectively by a genera! caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (benzyl oxycarbonyl-Val-Ala- Asp-fluoromethylketone, 0.01 mM), indicating that the fluorescence increase was due to caspase-3 -mediated apoptosis. These results suggest potential applications of this method to study apoptosis mechanisms involving caspase-3 substrates and possibly those involving other caspase substrates.

Model calibration was accomplished using data collected from 1981 until 1996 to encompass extreme climatic conditions. Simulation results suggest that wetland inflows are dominated by runoff (36%), direct precipitation to the lake (45%) and groundwater inflows (19%), while outflow from the wetland is primarily evaporation (84%) and groundwater discharge to the underlying aquifer (16%). Modeled surface runoff produces short duration, high magnitude flows typically associated with spring thaw while modeled groundwater provides flows smaller in magnitude but longer in duration that may be increasingly important to wetland stage during extended periods of drought and flood. Despite an oversimplification of the complex groundwater component of the wetland system it was found that this modeling approach was able to predict system response over 16 years under extreme climatic conditions.

It simulates physical transport using the concept of tidal flushing, includes one of the most sophisticated representations of eutrophication processes in water column and benthic sediment, and employs an innovative solution scheme that is simple, accurate, and computationally efficient. The predictive capability of the water column portion of TPWQM was demonstrated through successful calibration and validation of the model with extensive data sets collected from Lynnhaven Bay, Virginia. The model's general applicability was examined for four other Virginia coastal basins. One value (0.3) of the returning ratio, the only calibration parameter for physical transport, is applicable to all five coastal basins and probably would be adequate for other Virginia coastal basins without further calibration. The values of kinetic parameters determined for Lynnhaven Bay are applicable to at least two of the other four coastal basins. The model underpredicts chlorophyll-a, total carbon, and total phosphorus in two of the tested basins, which is more likely the result of underpredicted nonpoint source loads than the inaccuracy of the kinetic coefficients.

In addition, a global measurement of the average hydraulic conductivity of the soil-bentonite backfill in one of the cutoff walls was made using the pilot-scale test facility. Two main factors distinguish these five different methods of measuring hydraulic conductivity: remolding and sample size. Remolding of samples tested in American Petroleum Institute filter press equipment significantly reduced their hydraulic conductivity compared to the hydraulic conductivity of undisturbed samples, which were of similar size. For the other tests, where the degree and extent of remolding were less significant, hydraulic conductivity was found to increase as sample size increased, with the global measurement producing the highest value. The existence of bentonite filter cakes on trench walls reduces the influence of sample size on the equivalent hydraulic conductivity of the barrier. Findings regarding locating defects with a piezocone and hydraulic fracture in piezometer tests are also presented.

To assess the impact of continuing circulation of VEE virus (VEEV) on human and animal populations, serologic and viral isolation studies were conducted in 2000 to 2001 in Chiapas State. Human serosurveys and risk analyses indicated that long-term endemic transmission of VEEV occurred among villages with seroprevalence levels of 18% to 75% and that medical personnel had a high risk for VEEV exposure. Seroprevalence in wild animals suggested cotton rats as possible reservoir hosts in the region. Virus isolations from sentinel animals and genetic characterizations of these strains indicated continuing circulation of a subtype IE genotype, which was isolated from equines during the recent VEE outbreaks. These data indicate long-term enzootic and endemic VEEV circulation in the region and continued risk for disease in equines and humans.

This note presents equations for use in a screening procedure to evaluate the impact of a CDF on groundwater. The hydrologic evaluation of leachate production and quality model was used to simulate leachate production and transport through the foundation considering a range of foundation soil characteristics and contaminant properties. The model results were used to develop predictive equations of contaminant attenuation and travel time in the foundation soils. When used with equations to predict dispersion in the aquifer, contaminant exposures at receptor locations can be predicted, which is essential in leachate screening applications. The approach does not consider degradation or permanent sequestration of contaminants. Therefore, the procedure is conservative in that it may overestimate actual leachate concentrations and underestimate actual travel times.

SN - 10928758 AB - This research investigated the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from spiked materials using thermal desorption mass spectrometry. Experimental methods were developed to obtain real-time PAH desorption data through use of a thermal program desorption probe. Data analysis techniques were investigated to explore the thermal desorption profiles of milligram-size samples. Peak temperatures of desorption were observed to vary among PAHs and among sorbents. For the same absorbent, peak temperatures increased with an increase of PAH molecular weights. For the same PAH, peak temperatures increased as the sorbent varied from sand to alumina to XAD-4 to kaolin. These results have been interpreted in terms of a combined model that include both an activation energy and a desorption/volatilization rate coefficient.

We predicted that zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), genetic structure in the Mississippi River would follow a model of invasive species genetics, which predicts low genetic structure among populations of recently established species. This prediction was upheld in our previous genetic study using allozymes, however, one locus yielded anomalous results. 2. We employed amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis as a neutral marker to assess the amount of genetic structure within and among populations, and as a test of expected population structure from both invasion genetic theory, and the results from our previous study. 3. There was greater spatial differentiation, as measured by Fst, observed using AFLP's than for allozymes (P < 0.001). There was no evidence that AFLP variation conformed to an isolation by distance model, and genetic relationships of populations, as measured by AFLP markers, were not similar to those detected in our allozyme survey. 4. The lack of concordance between these two genetic marker systems probably reflects their differential responses to drift, migration, and selection occurring during this rapid invasion. Strong population structure is counter to predictions that populations of invasive species will not be differentiated, as with observations based on allozyme markers. Therefore, newly established species may require genetic surveys using multiple marker systems to evaluate population structure.

Using the mouse ear vesicant model(MEVM), we evaluated the effect of topically applied anti-inflammatory agents(octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide) on ear edema formation and gene expression following SM exposure. Relative ear weight and real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 were used to evaluate the effects of octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide. Both vanilloids significantly reduced SM-induced edema. At the single dose and number of animals/group tested, octyl homovanillamide produced a trend of reduced mRNA levels; however, the reduction was not significant for GM-CSF, IL-1β, or IL-6. Heptyl isovanillamide significantly reduced(p ≤ 0.05) GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA levels. These results show that octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide reduce skin edema and heptyl isovanillamide significantly reduced cytokine mRNA expression following SM exposure. In addition to measuring edema formation, monitoring expression of biomarkers such as GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 may also serve to evaluate therapeutic treatments against SM-induced dermal injury.

SN - 00188158 AB - Devils Lake in northeastern North Dakota (USA) is a terminal lake of glacial origin with a substantial sulfate content. Since 1940, the lake water level has risen over 13.5m and salinity has decreased. Devils Lake consists of a series of interconnected basins with sulfate concentration increasing in an eastward direction from 450mg/l in West Bay to 3000mg/l in East Devils Lake. Using sulfate as a tracer and linking measurements of specific conductance with observed time series of water surface elevations, wind, and water velocity, this paper illustrates the magnitude and dynamics of mass transport and exchange processes between the multiple basins of Devils Lake. Measurements show small horizontal salinity gradients within the lake basins, but large salinity gradients in some of the exchange zones connecting basins. Vertical salinity gradients were observed in small basins and near exchange zones with strong horizontal salinity differentials. These instances of vertical stratification were associated with buoyancy driven exchange flows and wind sheltering. Exchange flow velocities between selected basins were correlated with wind direction and speed. Interbasin exchange flows were found to reverse direction frequently in response to the prevailing wind direction. Flow direction frequencies in one specific exchange zone were 31% west to east, 48% east to west, and 21% bidirectional (stratified). At the lake level observed in 2000, time averaged, measured interbasin exchange flow rates were 30--40m3/s compared to tributary inflow rates to the lake of 3--9m3/s.

The nettle leaf infusion was fractionated and HPLC-based enzymatic assays were performed to determine the capacity of each fraction to inhibit the protease activity of botulinum neurotoxin type A and B light chains. Assay results demonstrated that a water-soluble fraction obtained from the nettle leaf infusion inhibited type A, but did not inhibit type B light chain protease activity. The inhibition mode of water soluble fraction against protease activity of type A light chain was analyzed and found to be a non-competitive.

Measured stand characteristics included canopy density (67% and 75%) and basal area (43.4 and 24.1 m2 ha-1) for the higher and lower elevations, respectively. Temperature, relative humidity, net radiation, wind speed, and mass of snow on suspended trees provided data to determine whether sublimation rates of intercepted snow are more rapid at higher elevations associated with increased wind speed. Measurements showed the unexpected result that wind speed during sublimation periods was lower at higher elevations, probably because of terrain sheltering. The analysis examined 21 storm-free periods ranging in duration from 9 to 53 h. Sublimation rates per unit mass of intercepted snow were significantly larger at the lower-elevation site associated with warmer temperatures, lower relative humidity, and greater wind speeds. Application of meteorological data to an ice sphere model indicated that predicted mean sublimation rates of an ice sphere index were 23% ± 7% more rapid at the lower elevation due to weather factors alone. However, greater snowfall at higher elevations produced greater interception, resulting in substantially more snow being sublimated back to the atmosphere at the upper site. Over the study period, sublimation of snow intercepted by the test trees amounted to 20%–30% of total snowfall accumulated at the sites during the 21 storms selected for analysis.

The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate. Canopy cover is represented in terms of shortwave transmissivity and sky-view factor. The cases studied are a spruce forest in the Wolf Creek basin, Yukon Territory, Canada, and a pine forest near Fraser, Colorado. Of particular interest are the atmospheric conditions that favor an offset between shortwave energy attenuation and longwave irradiance enhancement by the canopy, such that net radiation does not decrease with increasing forest density. Such an offset is favored in dry climates and at high altitudes, where atmospheric emissivities are low, and in early spring when snow albedos are high and solar elevations are low. For low snow albedos, a steady decrease in snowmelt energy with increasing canopy cover is found, up to a forest density close to the actual densities of mature spruce forests. Snowmelt rates for high albedos are either insensitive or increase with increasing canopy cover. At both sites, foliage area indices close to 2 are associated with a minimum in net radiation, independent of snow albedo or cloud cover. However, these results are more uncertain for open forests because solar heating of trees may invalidate the longwave assumptions, increasing the longwave irradiance.

This procedure utilizes information obtained from joint sequential simulation to establish the relationship between model uncertainty and variation of model inputs. Using this procedure, model variance can be partitioned by model input parameters on a cell by cell basis. In the partitioning, the correlation of neighboring cells is accounted for. With traditional uncertainty analysis methods, this is not possible. In a case study, spatial variation of soil erodibility from a joint sequential simulation of soil properties was analyzed. The results showed that the regression approach is a very effective method in the analysis of the relationship between variation of the model output and model input parameters. It was also shown for the case study that: (1) the uncertainty of soil erodibility of a cell is mainly propagated from its own soil properties; (2) the interactions of soil properties of neighboring cells could reduce uncertainty of soil erodibility; (3) it is sufficient for uncertainty analysis to include the nearest three neighboring cell groups; and (4) the largest uncertainty contributors vary by soil properties and location.

SN - 07490208 AB - Wave transformation in the region of Cape Fear. NC, is investigated through field measurements and application of the numerical spectral wave model STWAVE. Field data on offshore and nearshore directional waves, high-resolution bathymetry, tide, and wind were collected starting in the fall of 2000, The applicability of using offshore gauge data as input along the model boundary was evaluated by additional modeling on a coarse grid extending seaward beyond the influence of irregular shelf bathymetry. Model evaluation is presented based on three storm events. For nearshore model and gauge results paired in time, the root-mean-square error in wave height is 0.2-0.5 m and in wave direction is 14-24 deg. The relative importance of accurate bathymetry, tide, wind, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and spectral shape (measured versus parameterized) are examined with model sensitivity studies. Impacts on potential longshore transport computations are also considered. High-resolution bathymetry is found to be most significant in reducing model versus gauge differences. Use of parametric input spectra gave comparable results to input of measured two-dimensional spectra for the selected storms.

SN - 07490208 AB - Many contaminated sediments and dredged material mixtures of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments occur in wavedominated environments. In-situ analysis is imperative in understanding the erosion and transport of these sediments. Recent research efforts have developed a flume with unidirectional flow that can measure in-situ sediment erosion with depth (SEDflume). However, the flow regime for the SEDflume has limited applicability to wave-dominated environments. Therefore, a unique device, called the SEAWOLF flume, was developed and used by Sandia National Laboratories to simulate high-shear stress erosion processes experienced in coastal waters where wave forcing dominates the system. The SEAWOLF is capable of testing in-situ or laboratory prepared cores. Erosion rates of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments prepared in the laboratory were determined in oscillatory and combined oscillatory and linear flow regimes. Results of these tests were compared to results from the unidirectional SEDflume. Although maximum shear stresses for oscillatory flows were as high as 7 Pa for the tests, the associated erosion rate for specific sediment over the entire wave cycle were comparable to much lower shear stresses found for constant, linear flows. For example, sediment exposed to a maximum of 7 Pa over a 15 s period resulted in erosion rates similar to results for a constant linear shear stress of 3.4 Pa. Analysis of results for all sediments tested led to a determination of values for an effective shear stress that relates wave-induced erosion to linear flow induced erosion.

Hydrologic predictions of streamflow at the outlets of the subbasins are obtained using HEC-HMS and two precipitation inputs, Stage III radar-derived and gauge-only data. Model performance with each precipitation input is assessed by comparing predicted and measured streamflow at each subbasin outlet and calculating streamflow volume bias, root mean square difference, mean normalized peak error, and mean peak timing error. The results indicate that the Stage III precipitation suffers from systematic underestimation at both the point and subbasin scales and cannot be completely offset by model recalibration. Simulations driven by both the Stage III and gauge-only data periodically failed to reproduce observed flood peaks in both subbasins. But Stage III simulations are generally less accurate in prediction of streamflow volume as compared to gauge-only simulations and, although comparable to the gauge-only simulations in predicting the magnitude and time to peak, offer no apparent improvement in predicting these quantities either.

Following a 2-year life cycle, many juvenile pink salmon enter Puget Sound in even-numbered years, whereas few migrate during odd-numbered years. During 1984–1997, juvenile chinook salmon released during even-numbered years experienced 59% lower survival than those released during odd-numbered years, a trend consistent among 13 chinook salmon stocks. Lower even-numbered-year survival of chinook salmon was associated with reduced first-year growth and survival and delayed maturation. In contrast, chinook salmon released into coastal streams, where few pink salmon occur, did not exhibit an alternating-year pattern of survival, suggesting that the interaction occurred within Puget Sound and the lower Strait of Georgia. Unexpectedly, the survival pattern of Puget Sound chinook salmon was reversed prior to the 1982–1983 El Niño: chinook salmon survival was higher when they migrated with juvenile pink salmon during 1972–1983. We hypothesize that chinook salmon survival changed as a result of a shift from predation- to competition-based mortality in response to recent declines in predator and prey abundances and increases in pink salmon abundance. Alternating-year mortality accounted for most of the 50% decline in marine survival of chinook salmon between 1972–1983 and 1984–1997.

Après 2 ans de leur cycle, de nombreux jeunes saumons roses se déplacent vers le Puget Sound les années paires, mais peu le font les années impaires. En 1984–1997, les jeunes saumons quinnat relâchés durant les années paires ont connu une survie de 59 % inférieure à ceux qui ont été relâchés les années impaires et la tendance s'est maintenue dans 13 stocks de saumons quinnat. La survie réduite les années paires est associée avec une diminution de la croissance et de la survie la première année et une maturation retardée. En revanche, les saumons quinnat relâchés dans les cours d'eau côtiers, où il y a peu de saumons roses, n'ont pas expérimenté cette alternance d'une année à l'autre dans la survie, ce qui laisse croire que l'interaction se produit dans le Puget Sound ou le détroit de Géorgie inférieur. De façon inattendue, le pattern de survie des saumons quinnat de Puget Sound a été inversé avant l'El Niño de 1982–1983, alors que leur survie était plus élevée lorsqu'ils migraient en compagnie des saumons roses en 1972–1983. Notre hypothèse veut que la survie des saumons quinnat ait changé d'un contrôle de la mortalité par la prédation à un contrôle par la compétition en réaction au déclin récent des abondances de prédateurs et de proies et l'augmentation de l'abondance des saumons roses. La mortalité à tous les deux ans explique la plus grande partie du déclin de la survie en mer des saumons quinnat entre les périodes 1972–1983 et 1984–1997.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Solid phase microextraction fibers are polymer-coated silica fibers that sorb dissolved organic compounds from water and sediment. We investigated their concentrations as measures of exposure for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its degradation products in acute sediment and water-only toxicity tests with Tubifex tubifex, Chironomus tentans, and Ceriodaphnia dubia. Results from these exposures allowed us to compare solid phase microextraction fibers concentrations to two conventional measures of toxicant dose: external matrix (water, sediment) and internal (organism) concentrations. Because trinitrotoluene degrades within sediment and organisms, doses based on sediment, water, and organism concentrations were calculated using the molar sum of trinitrotoluene and its nitroaromatic degradation products. Among species and matrixes, median lethal doses based on solid phase microextraction fiber and organism concentrations ranged from 12.6 to 55.3 (μmol nitroaromatic per ml polyacrylate and 83.4 to 172.3 nmol nitroaromatic per gram tissue, wet weight, respectively. In contrast to matrix concentrations, which are specific to sediment or water, both organism and solid phase microextraction fiber concentrations appeared to provide measures of dose independent of exposure scenario (sediment or water). Median lethal doses based on fiber concentrations in whole-sediment and water-only Tubifex tubifex toxicity tests were within a factor of 1.1 (18.7 and 21.3 (μmol nitroaromatic per ml polyacrylate, respectively). Median lethal doses based on organism concentrations were within a factor 1.4 for Chironomus tentans exposed in water-only or whole-sediment scenarios (118.0 and 83.4 nmol nitroaromatic per gram tissue, wet weight, respectively). Solid phase microextraction fibers may provide a powerful chemical estimate of exposure with which to understand bioavailability and toxicity of organic compounds to benthic organisms.

Current accepted bacterial indicator methods do not provide defensible data with respect to the occurrence and types of pathogens in sediments. In an effort to adapt new defensible methods for assessing the risk posed by pathogens in sediments, we evaluated the sensitivity of a commercially available real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan¯Escherichia coli 0157:H7detection kit. The lower limit of linear quantitation of this assay was experimentally determined in sediment and sediment extract samples spiked with known amounts of E. coli 0157:H7 DNA. Parallel control experiments were conducted in pure water samples spiked with known amounts of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 DNA. The lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan¯assay was 1000 colony forming units when interrogating 100 mg sediment samples. In contrast, the assay was 20-fold more sensitive with a lower limit of quantification of 50 colony forming units in pure water and sediment extract samples. These results suggest that the sensitivity of the TaqMan¯Escherichia coli 0157:H7detection kit is more dependent on recovery of the desired target from the sediment matrix than efficiency of polymerase chain reaction amplification. The potential human health risk associated with the lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan¯assay in the spiked sediment samples was estimated using a Beta-Poisson dose-response model. Using this approach, lower limit values corresponded to exposure levels of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 that meet United States Environmental Protection Agency accepted illness rates for recreational swimming.

The objective of the Restudy, performed by the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District, was to recommend a plan for improving environmental quality and urban and agricultural water supply reliability affected by the Central and South Florida water management project. As a “modeler’s model,” SFSAM was limited in scope and was used primarily to assist analysts in the development of alternatives. Additionally, model results provided some insights to operating strategies that could be tested and refined through more detailed modeling of the alternatives. This review of SFSAM includes a brief overview of the Central and South Florida project, a description of the model formulation, some interesting technical challenges faced in modeling the system, and representative and interesting results from the model application.

SN - 00472433 AB - We developed and applied a suite of risk-based methods for characterizing the contaminant potentials from a former munitions plant in East Texas. The site was originally "clean closed" when a subsequent groundwater monitoring program disclosed areas of contamination by the chlorinated solvent, trichloroethylene (TCE) and others. As part of an overall decision model developed for the site, a series of probability-based mathematical and statistical models were developed to address off-site contamination and plume configuration. As with most historic hazardous waste sites, there was virtually no information relative to contaminant loading rates to the water table aquifer. These loads were reconstructed by comparing the results generated from a Monte Carlo-based technique which linked the vadose and saturated zone models to minimal groundwater data previously collected. The contaminant flux in the aquifer was assumed to coincide with activities at the munitions plants peaking as the plant was decommissioned and tailing off through subsequent years. This curve followed the classic boundary condition where the contaminant source is terminated after a period of flux into the aquifer. Comparisons between simulated data and the site activity curve indicated that the peak of the contamination had occurred before the monitoring program was initiated, generally matching concentrations along the recession limb. Probabilistic transport modeling through the water table aquifer produced a series of statistical distributions of off-site contamination. These curves further corroborated the observation that peak contamination at this site had occurred before the monitoring data were collected. A Bayesian updating technique was applied to compare the revised probabilities associated with various management alternatives and a conditional simulation was completed to define the plume configuration with some statistical confidence.

SN - 09226168 AB - The slow reaction between peroxodisulfate and formate is significantly accelerated by ascorbate at room temperature. The products of this induced oxidation, CO2 and oxalate (C2O2–4), were analyzed by several methods and the kinetics of this reaction were measured. The overall mechanism involves free radical species. Ascorbate reacts with peroxodisulfate to initiate production of the sulfate radical ion (SO•–4), which reacts with formate to produce carbon dioxide radical ion (CO•–2) and sulfate. The carbon dioxide radical reacts with peroxodisulfate to form CO2 or self-combines to form oxalate. Competition occurring between these two processes determines the overall fate of the carbon dioxide radical species. As pH decreases, protonation of the carbon dioxide radical ion tends to favor production of CO2.

A CDF is a diked enclosure having structures that retain dredged material solids. When contaminated dredged material is placed in a CDF, contaminants may be mobilized to form leachate that may be transported to the site boundaries by seepage. The purpose of this research is to examine the components of steady-state leachate attenuation in aquifers and to develop a predictive screening tool. The main factors affecting leachate transport and dilution through the saturated zone of an aquifer are evaluated to develop a guidance procedure to assist in decision making regarding the use of leachate controls in the CDF. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys’ MULTIMED model is used to develop predictive equations for the effects of recharge and lateral and vertical dispersion processes on centerline concentrations in the aquifer. The results show that the effects of these processes can be predicted independently. Relationships were developed to estimate the attenuation factor for each process. An equation for centerline leachate concentration using attenuation factors is developed to predict peak leachate exposure for decision making.

Knowledge of flow patterns in the lake is essential for predicting the transport of dissolved oxygen (DO). A preliminary comparison with acoustic Doppler velocimetery (ADV) measurements shows that both LSPTV and large scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) accurately measure surface velocities. In the present study, LSPTV works better near flow boundaries and in regions with high velocity gradients since smaller sampling areas are possible, and unlike LSPIV measurements, LSPTV measurements are unbiased. Discharges measured at eight different transects using LSPTV were within 6% of the discharge measured with an orifice, the worst correlation occurring where the bathymetry was slightly nonuniform (making application of the 1/7-power law suspect). In the prototype, DO content periodically drops to unacceptable levels throughout most of the Keystone Basin (a subbasin of Lake Ogallala). Predicted flow patterns suggest that low DO problems are exacerbated in regions with low velocities since oxygen consumed by macrophytes during nighttime hours is not quickly replenished.

JO - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences JF - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 61 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1102 EP - 1112 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 0706652X AB - We evaluated patterns of denitrification and factors effecting denitrification in the upper Mississippi River. Measurements were taken over 2 years, during which river discharge ranged from record flooding to base flow conditions. Over the period of study, average denitrification enzyme activity was highest in backwater lakes and lowest in the main channel. Throughout the study reach, highest denitrification enzyme activity occurred during fall and lowest occurred in winter. Rates during spring floods (2001) were only slightly higher than during the preceding winter. Mean unamended denitrification rates ranged from 0.02 (fall 2001 in backwaters) to 0.40 µg N·cm–2·h–1 (spring 2001 in backwaters). Laboratory experiments showed that denitrification rates increased significantly with addition of NO3– regardless of sediment C content, while rates increased little with addition of labile C (glucose). Denitrification in this reach of the upper Mississippi River appears to be NO3– limited throughout the growing season and the delivery of NO3– is strongly controlled by river discharge and hydrologic connectivity across the floodplain. We estimate that denitrification removes 6939 t N·year–1 or 6.9% of the total annual NO3– input to the reach. Hydrologic connectivity and resultant NO3– delivery to high-C sediments is a critical determinant of reach-scale processing of N in this floodplain system. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Nous avons évalué les patterns de dénitrification et les facteurs qui opèrent la dénitrification dans le Mississippi supérieur. Les mesures ont été réalisées sur 2 années, pendant lesquelles le débit de la rivière a varié d'inondations record à des conditions d'étiage. Durant la période d'étude, l'activité enzymatique moyenne de dénitrification était maximale dans les lacs de la plaine de débordement et minimale dans le chenal principal. Dans toute la zone d'étude, les valeurs maximales de l'activité enzymatique moyenne de dénitrification ont été mesurées à l'automne et les valeurs minimales en hiver. Les taux durant les inondations du printemps (2001) étaient tout juste un peu plus élevés que l'hiver précédent. Les taux moyens non corrigés de dénitrification variaient de 0,02 (automne 2001 dans des eaux de la plaine de débordement) à 0,40 µg N·cm–2·h–1 (printemps dans des eaux de la plaine de débordement). Des expériences en laboratoire montrent que les taux de dénitrification augmentent de façon significative après l'addition de NO3–, quel que soit le contenu des sédiments en C; ces taux augmentent peu après l'addition de C labile (glucose). La dénitrification dans cette section du Mississippi semble être limitée par NO3– durant la saison de croissance et l'apport de NO3– est fortement contrôlé par le débit de la rivière et la connectivité hydrologique à travers la plaine de débordement. Nous estimons que la dénitrification retire 6 939 t N·an–1, soit 6,95 % de l'apport annuel de NO3– dans la section. La connectivité hydrologique et l'apport de NO3– aux sédiments riches en C qui en résulte sont des facteurs déterminants essentiels du traitement de l'azote à l'échelle de la section dans ce système de plaine de débordement.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The proposed method characterizes each pavement layer by a coefficient of lateral stress, which is similar to the commonly used coefficient of lateral earth pressure (K). Stress predictions found by the proposed method are compared with stress predictions calculated by conventional linear elastic techniques. Each conventional solution is shown to represent a special case of the more global proposed solution. Several instrumented test sections are explored to determine coefficients of lateral stress for common paving materials.

Bench-scale reactors were constructed to operate in a manner analogous to a commercially available system manufactured by Terr-Aqua Environmental Systems (only with longer contact time). The GAC system consisted of two GAC biofilter beds that operated in a cyclical manner. On a given day, the first GAC bed adsorbed methyl isobutyl ketone from a simulated waste airstream, while the second bed underwent regeneration; then on the next day, the second bed was in the adsorption mode while the first was regenerated. Three bench-scale systems were used to compare the performance under three operating conditions: (1) ozone/ associated oxidant regeneration of a GAC biofilter system that was seeded with microorganisms from a field site, (2) a humid air regeneration of a seeded GAC biofilter, and (3) a humid air regeneration of an unseeded GAC biofilter. For the advanced oxidant regenerated GAC biofilter, a maximum removal efficiency of >95% was achieved with an empty bed contact time of 148 sec and an influent concentration of 125 ppm methyl isobutyl ketone, and 90-95% was achieved at 148-sec empty bed contact time and a 1150-ppm influent.

SN - 00068314 AB - The von Kármán spectra of turbulent temperature and velocity fluctuations have been widely used in the literature on turbulence and electromagnetic, seismic, and acoustic wave propagation in random media. In this paper we provide a phenomenological motivation for the von Kármán velocity spectrum in terms of the quasi-wavelet model of turbulence developed recently. In this model, turbulence is represented as a superposition of self-similar localized eddies of many different scales. We find a functional form for these eddies that yields the von Kármán velocity spectrum exactly. We also show that other eddy functions produce velocity spectra that have the same general form as the von Kármán spectrum, and we consider possible quasi-wavelet representations of the `Kansas' spectrum and the `-1' spectrum. We also present a systematic determination, based on turbulence similarity theories, of the parameters of the von Kármán spectra of temperature and velocity fluctuations in an unstable atmospheric boundary layer.

Data from this original study were compared to a recent survey in order to determine if any changes in fish species composition had occurred during the approximately 30 year time period. A comparison of similarity for 44 collections showed low similarity between the two surveys for a large percentage of sites visited (86% for Jaccard's Similarity and 62% for Morisita Similarity). Sites with low similarity between survey dates were typically associated with impoundments. Most species missing in the recent survey include species considered sensitive, such as cyprinids and percids. Species that have increased since 1968 include centrarchids, a group typically tolerant of impoundment and environmental change. Virtually all fish species composition differences indicate a less pristine fish assemblage in the more contemporary survey, suggesting that recent factors have had a negative effect on the fish assemblage of Bear Creek.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 12 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 289 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - To assess the potential for enhancing an existing stand of native perennial grasses on a California Coast Range Grassland site, we experimentally manipulated the seasonal timing and presence of grazing for 3 years (1994 through 1996) and of autumn burning for 2 years (1994 and 1995) and measured species cover for 6 years (1993 through 1998). We subjected the species matrix to classification (TWINSPAN) and ordination (CCA) and tested the ordination site scores as well as diversity indices with linear mixed effects models. Four distinct plant community groups emerged from the classification. Two of these were dominated by annual grasses and two by perennial grasses. No treatment effects were observed on diversity. For composition, temporal and spatial random effects were important mixed effects model parameters, as was the fixed effect covariate, pre-treatment CCA site score, indicating the importance of random environmental variation and initial starting conditions. Incorporation of these random effects and initial condition terms made for more powerful tests of the fixed effects, grazing season, and burning. We found no significant burning effects. Grazing removal imparted a shift in plant community from more annual-dominated toward more perennial-dominated vegetation. Individual perennial grass species responded differently according to genus and species. Nassella spp. increased gradually over time regardless of grazing treatment. Nassella pulchra (purple needlegrass) increase was greatest under spring grazing and N. lepida (foothill needlegrass) was greatest with grazing removal. Danthonia californica (California oatgrass) had little response over time under seasonal grazing treatments, but increased with grazing removal. Under relatively mesic weather conditions it appears that grazing removal from Coast Range Grasslands with existing native perennial grass populations can increase their cover. However if N. pulchra is the sole existing population, spring season-restricted grazing should be equally effective at enhancing cover of the native grass species.

JO - Journal of Physical Oceanography JF - Journal of Physical Oceanography Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 34 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1429 EP - 1440 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00223670 AB - In winds approaching hurricane strength, spray droplets proliferate. Once created, these droplets accelerate to the local wind speed in 1 s or less and thereby extract momentum from the wind. Because these droplets have substantial mass, they eventually plunge back into the ocean, delivering their horizontal momentum to the surface in the form of a spray stress. Inadequate information on the production rate and size distribution of spray droplets, however, hampered previous attempts to estimate the magnitude of this spray-mediated momentum exchange. This paper therefore uses recent estimates of the spray generation function to reconsider spray's ability to alter air­sea momentum exchange. Conservation of momentum requires that spray cannot enhance the air­sea stress beyond what the large-scale flow dictates. However, spray can redistribute stress in the near-surface atmosphere since the wind must slow if the spray droplets accelerate. For a wind of 30 m s&sup-1;, spray supports about 10% of the surface stress; for a wind of about 60 m s&sup-1;, spray supports all of the surface stress. The paper goes on to show how this partitioning affects the near-surface wind speed profile. Last, the paper reviews evidence that suggests the sea surface undergoes a transition in its aerodynamic behavior in the wind speed range 30–40 m s&sup-1;. The fact that whitecap coverage extrapolates to 100% in this range may be one cause. Also in this range, the ‘rain’ of spray droplets back onto the sea surface creates a mass flux with a magnitude that has been shown to damp the short waves that sustain most of the atmospheric drag on the sea surface. As a consequence, spray may play a key role in a negative feedback loop that limits air­sea momentum transfer.

Laboratory investigations were conducted on 28 serum samples collected from patients in the Imatong region. Serum samples from 13 patients were positive for immunoglobulin M antibody to flavivirus, and serum samples from 5 patients were positive by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with both the genus Flavivirus-reactive primers and yellow fever virus-specific primers. Nucleotide sequencing of the amplicons obtained with the genus Flavivirus oligonucleotide primers confirmed yellow fever virus as the etiologic agent. Isolation attempts in newborn mice and Vero cells from the samples yielded virus isolates from five patients. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis enabled an interagency emergency task force to initiate a targeted vaccination campaign to control the outbreak.

The CE-QUAL-ICM eutrophication model has been revised and recalibrated to provide management guidance in alleviating impaired clarity. The algorithms used to model light attenuation and suspended solids are presented herein. Computed and observed total and volatile solids and light attenuation are examined in several formats. A solids budget constructed for the bay identifies major solids sources as internal production, bank erosion, and watershed loading. Sensitivity to loading sources and a key management scenario are examined. Major but feasible reductions in solids and nutrient loads, coupled with reductions in bank erosion, are calculated to meet clarity goals at the 1-m depth in the main bay and major eastern embayments. Careful examination of model results at small scales is required to verify large-scale findings, however. We recommend major improvements in monitoring, computation of light attenuation, and in sediment transport modeling to improve the state of the art in modeling and management of water clarity.

Assessing the potential for fish predation to impact zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha): insight from bioenergetics models. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2004: 13: 85–95. © Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004 Rates of annual food consumption and biomass were modeled for several fish species across representative rivers and lakes in eastern North America. Results were combined to assess the relative potential of fish predation to impact zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha). Predicted annual food consumption by fishes in southern waters was over 100% greater than that in northern systems because of warmer annual water temperatures and presumed increases in metabolic demand. Although generally increasing with latitude, biomasses of several key zebra mussel fish predators did not change significantly across latitudes. Biomasses of some less abundant fish predators did increase significantly with latitude, but increases were not of the magnitude to offset predicted decreases in food consumption. Our results generally support the premise that fishes in rivers and lakes of the southern United States (U.S.) have inherently greater potential to impact zebra mussels by predation. Our simulations may provide a partial explanation of why zebra mussel invasions have not been as rapid and widespread in southern U.S. waters compared to the Great Lakes region.

A sample of participants, expert in interacting with a newly developed tactical display for the U.S. Army's Bradley Fighting Vehicle, individually modeled their knowledge of 4 specific tasks employing the CAT-HCI tool. Measures of the accuracy and consistency of task models created by these task domain experts using the tool were compared with task models created by a double expert. The findings indicated a high degree of consistency and accuracy between the different "single experts" in the task domain in terms of the resultant models generated using the tool. Actual or potential applications of this research include assessing human-computer interaction complexity, determining the productivity of human-computer interfaces, and analyzing an interface design to determine whether methods can be automated.

This paper discusses the development of parametrization and calibration methodologies for the 12-parameter soil moisture accounting (SMA) algorithm recently added to the Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS) program by the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, is considering HMS as a tool for continuous hydrologic simulation in the Cumberland River basin. The study demonstrates that parameters for a complex soil moisture accounting model can be derived from publicly available geographic information system (GIS) databases and that the use of seasonal or multiparameter sets improves model performance. Only one of the seven parameters estimated using GIS databases was varied during model calibration. Parameter values after model calibration, including four parameters estimated using historic streamflow records, deviated from estimated values by an average of 37%. Model performance indicates that the developed parametrization and calibration methodologies work well when applied to the test watershed and should be applicable to other watersheds in the Cumberland River basin.

Some of these improvements include the addition or replacement of the navigation lock. Innovative design and construction techniques are being investigated to try and reduce construction costs as well as operation and maintenance costs. The Corps identified that a savings in lock construction could be achieved if the conventional concrete gravity lock walls with culverts inside them could be replaced with thin walls and longitudinal culverts located inside the chamber. This culvert design was designated the In-Chamber Longitudinal Culvert System (ILCS). An extensive research effort led to the development of the ILCS design. This paper provides a brief summary of the research results and the accompanying design guidance developed for low to medium lift ILCS locks. The guidance includes culvert location; port size, location, and spacing; port extensions; culvert-roof overhang; and wall baffles. Lock chamber performance characteristics, based on acceptable filling and emptying operations determined using a laboratory model, are also presented. The ILCS is a feasible design based on the hydraulic performance determined from the investigation.

In this present study we have investigated the pharmacokinetics of midazolam and its associated effects on electroencephalographic (EEG) activity following intramuscular (im) injection to soman-exposed guinea pigs (Crl:(HA)BR). Prior to experiments, the animals were surgically implanted with EEG leads to monitor seizure activity. For the study, animals were administered the following pretreatment/OP/treatment regimen. Pyridostigmine bromide (0.026 mg/kg, im) was given 30 min prior to soman (56 μg/kg, 2 × LD50; subcutaneously, sc), followed in one minute by atropine sulfate (2 mg/kg, im) and pralidoxime chloride (25 mg/kg, im). All animals receiving this regimen developed seizure activity. Midazolam 0.8 mg/kg, im, was administered 5 mm after onset of seizure activity. Based on EEG data, animals were categorized as either seizure-terminated or seizure not-terminated at 30 mm following anticonvulsant administration. Serial blood samples were collected for the plasma midazolam analysis; the assay was accomplished with a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. The mean time to seizure termination was 8.8 ± 1.6 min. The mean time-plasma concentration data were fit to standard pharmacokinetic models. The following parameter estimates were determined from the model-fit for seizure terminated and not-terminated animals respectively: apparent volumes of distribution (Vd) were 1.4 and 1.7 1/kg; area under the time-concentration curves (AUC), 15,990 and 15,120 ng min/ml; times to maximal plasma concentration (Tmax), 1.66 and 2.91 min and maximal plasma concentrations (Cmax) 535.1 and 436.6 ng/ml. These data indicate that im injection of midazolam is effective at terminating ongoing soman-induced seizure activity. Additionally, the relatively short Tmax and latency to seizure termination demonstrate the rapidity of drug absorption and action respectively.

SN - 03438651 AB - In previous work, we studied the anaerobic biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by a methanogenic mixed culture that biodegrades RDX by using H2 as the sole electron donor. Strain HAAP-1 was isolated after enriching for the homoacetogens in a mineral medium containing RDX and an H2-CO2 (80:20) headspace. Strain HAAP-1 degraded 29.0 μM RDX in <14 days and formed 13.0 mM acetate when grown in a mineral medium with an H2-CO2 headspace. Methylenedinitramine was observed as a transient intermediate, indicating ring cleavage had occurred. In live cultures containing an N2-CO2 headspace, RDX was not degraded, and no acetate was formed. The 16S rRNA gene sequence for strain HAAP-1, consisting of 1485 base pairs, had a 99.2% and 99.1% sequence similarity to Acetobacterium malicum and A. wieringae, respectively. This is the first report of RDX degradation by a homoacetogen growing autotrophically and extends the number of genera known to carry out this transformation.

To investigate genetic relationships among the Peru VEEV isolates and between the Peru isolates and other VEEV strains, a fragment of the PE2 gene was amplified and analyzed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism. Representatives of seven genotypes underwent sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The results identified four VEE complex lineages that cocirculate in the Amazon region: subtypes ID (Panama and Colombia/Venezuela genotypes), IIIC, and a new, proposed subtype IIID, which was isolated from a febrile human, mosquitoes, and spiny rats. Both ID lineages and the IIID subtype are associated with febrile human illness. Most of the subtype ID isolates belonged to the Panama genotype, but the Colombia/Venezuela genotype, which is phylogenetically related to epizootic strains, also continues to circulate in the Amazon basin.

To detect SM-induced DNA single strand breaks in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), cells were exposed to various concentrations of SM (10 to 1000 μM), and the comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) was performed. We observed a SM concentration- and time-dependent increase in detectable DNA damage. To test whether SM-induced DNA cross-linking inhibits DNA migration in the comet assay, PBL were exposed to a) SM alone (10 to 1000 μM), b) H 2 O 2 (0.001%), which produces DNA single strand breaks with no cross-links, or c) SM followed at 2, 4, or 6 h by H 2 O 2 . With H 2 O 2 alone, a large amount of strand breakage was detected. With H 2 O 2 plus SM, detectable H 2 O 2 -induced strand breaks decreased as SM concentration increased up to 30 μM; at 30 μM and above, the response with H 2 O 2 plus SM was similar to that with SM alone. Interference with the detection of H 2 O 2 -induced DNA strand breaks appears to be SM concentration-dependent up to 30 μM, and independent of SM concentration at ≥30 μM. This is presumably due to SM-induced cross-linking. It follows that cross-linking in DNA of SM-exposed PBL also interferes with DNA migration and detection of DNA strand breaks when cells are exposed to SM alone.

Male animals were injected subcutaneously with sarin (GB), soman (GD) or VX once a day (Monday through Friday) for 2-, 4-, or 13-weeks. An initial 13-week study for each CWNA employed doses of vehicle (normal saline), 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.6x, and 0.8x the previously established acute LD 50 . A 2-week and 4-week exposure were also performed for each agent at doses less than the 13-week MTD to verify lack of toxicity. Animals dosed daily for 13 weeks with 0.4x LD 50 of GB or GD or with 0.2x LD 50 of VX did not display signs of acute cholinergic toxicity. In animals dosed daily for either 2- or 4-weeks, the MTDs were 0.4x the acute LD 50 for all three CWNA. There were no differences among these groups and their respective vehicle controls for weight gains, body temperature, complete blood cell counts, blood chemistries, nor by histopathology. At the MTD in all groups, red blood cell cholinesterase activity one hour after the last exposure was inhibited up to 90% compared with controls. The toxicity observed with repeated doses above the MTD for up to chronic exposure durations was not significantly different from symptoms observed after acute exposure. For all three nerve agents the MTDs for subacute exposure durations can be expressed by the same constant fraction of the acute LD 50 , despite differences in the absolute amount of nerve agent administered.

This paper reports on the adaptation of this system to permit its rapid deployment in support of a variety of civilian and military emergency-response applications. The innovation that allows for this rapid deployment is an intuitive graphical user interface that permits a non-expert to quickly configure the model for a new application, and launch the forecast system to produce operational products without further intervention. The graphical interface is Web based and can be run on a wireless laptop or a personal digital assistant in the field. The instructions for configuring the modeling system are transmitted to a compute engine [generally a personal computer (PC) cluster], and forecast products are placed on a Web site that can be accessed by emergency responders or other forecast users. This system has been used operationally for predicting the potential transport and dispersion of hazardous material during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, and during military operations in Afghanistan. It has also been used operationally to satisfy the rapidly evolving needs of wildfire managers. Continued use of the modeling system by nonexperts will allow developers to refine the graphical interface and make the model and the interface more fault tolerant with respect to the decisions of model users. * The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society is the property of American Meteorological Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The study entailed unique wintertime fieldwork along the Fort Peck reach of the Missouri River. The insights show how ice formation, presence, and breakup can influence channel stability in several important ways, especially when channels must convey substantial water flow during winter. Ice may hasten the migration of channel bends, cause transient scour and sediment deposition during winter, and induce cyclic shifts of flow thalweg through sinuous-braided subreaches. The insights are of direct significance for engineering activities along the Missouri’s Fort Peck reach and other alluvial channels subject to frigid winters. They also are significant for understanding the frigid-winter habitat of aquatic life in such channels.

Sediments dewatered by 20% and 60% and rehydrated exhibited a lower exchangeable ammonium-N (NH4-N) concentration and a lower rate of nitrate/nitrite-N and NH4-N release from sediments compared with controls. In contrast, sediments dewatered by 95% and rehydrated exhibited a marked increase in exchangeable sediment NH4-N and a much higher rate of nitrate/nitrite-N (under oxic conditions) and NH4-N (under oxic and anoxic conditions) release from sediments. Sediment dewatered by 60% and 95% and rehydrated lost total N (18%), suggesting denitrification. Growth of Potamogeton pectinatus responded to changes in the exchangeable sediment NH4-N concentration; it was lower on partially dewatered and rehydrated sediments that exhibited lower exchangeable sediment NH4-N and elevated on sediment that was dewatered by 95%. Our results suggest that sediment N may be altered via sediment dewatering and rehydration to affect macrophyte growth.

Les sédiments déshydratés de 20 % et de 60 % et ensuite réhydratés possèdent une concentration réduite d'azote-ammonium (NH4-N) échangeable et un taux de libération réduit d'azote-nitrate/nitrite et de NH4-N par comparaison aux sédiments témoins. En revanche, les sédiments déshydratés de 95 % et ensuite réhydratés affichent un accroissement marqué de NH4-N échangeable dans les sédiments et des taux beaucoup plus élevés de libération d'azote- nitrate/nitrite (en conditions oxiques) et de NH4-N (en conditions oxiques et anoxiques). Les sédiments déshydratés de 60 % et de 95 % et ensuite réhydratés perdent 18 % de leur azote total, ce qui fait croire à une dénitrification. La croissance de Potamogeton pectinatus réagit aux changements de concentrations du NH4-N échangeable dans les sédiments; elle est plus faible dans les sédiments déshydratés puis réhydratés qui possèdent des concentrations plus basses de NH4-N échangeable et plus élevée dans les sédiments déshydratés à 95 %. Nos résultats indiquent que l'azote des sédiments peut être altéré par la déshydratation et la réhydratation de manière à affecter la croissance des macrophytes.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Results from this study suggest that, although removal of a VOC generally increases with a decrease in its Henry's constant, an optimal Henry's constant range for biofiltration may exist. For the treatment of VOCs with high Henry's constant values, such as hexane and toluene, the transfer of VOCs between the vapor and liquid phases or between the vapor phase and the biofilm is a rate-determining step. However, oxygen (O2) transfer may become a rate-limiting step in treating VOCs with low Henry's constants, such as butanol, especially at high organic loadings. The results demonstrated that in a gas-phase aerobic biofilter, nitrate can serve both as a growth-controlling nutrient and as an electron acceptor in a biofilm for the respiration of VOCs with low Henry's constants. Microbial communities within the biofilters were examined using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to provide a more complete picture of the effect of O2 limitation and denitrification on biofilter performance.

Survival rates were derived from a mark-recapture study of mussels conducted in the Mississippi and Otter Tail rivers, Minnesota. The software package VORTEX was used to develop a base line population model which changed little or not at all through time. Models based on the initial base line data were constructed to simulate behaviors of A. plicata populations under various levels of mortality attributed to zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha, Pallas 1771) colonizations. Models were also developed that simulated varying levels of commercial harvesting of A. plicata. Sensitivity analysis revealed that A. plicata populations are most sensitive to alterations in adult survival. Adult survival is the life history stage most often impacted by both D. polymorpha colonizations and commercial harvesting. Population models simulating D. polymorpha mediated mortality revealed that population extinction was likely to occur within 50 y if survival rates remain at the levels recently measured. Models that simulated a commercial harvest of only 5% of the adult A. plicata population predicted that populations will decline by almost 50% in only 40 y. Our recommendation is that a concerted effort should be made to estimate the population size of potentially harvested populations of freshwater mussels. These estimates would allow for a more accurate estimate of what percentage of the adult mussels are actually being harvested. The population estimates would also allow for setting of quotas or limiting the number of permits for harvesters in the face of increased D. polymorpha infestations, thereby ensuring that harvested populations of mussels are not being over exploited. These modeling efforts will be useful for resource managers attempting to establish a sustainable harvest of commercially valuable mussel species which may be competing with a nonindigenous spe...

It was found that 2 moles of ozone are required for the initial degradation of 1 mole of DCP. The overall reaction between ozone and a DCP was found to be second order (first order per reactant). The overall reaction rate constants of all three DCPs increased with pH because of increased dissociation of the dichlorophenol molecules to dichlorophenoxide ions. Due to its high dissociation constant, 2,6-DCP is most reactive of the three with ozone with the overall reaction rate constants varying from 1.31×10[sup 5] to 3.36×10[sup 5] M[sup -1] s[sup -1] within the pH range of 2.0–4.0. Various chlorobenzenediols, chlorocyclohexadienediones, ketones, esters, and carboxylic acids were identified as intermediate and final ozonation products using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. The initial electrophilic addition of ozone at the ortho and para positions of the molecular and ionic forms is proposed as the likely mechanism for DCP ozonation.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2004///Spring2004 VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 533 EP - 549 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Chronic erosion of beaches along the eastern Texas barrier island coast is increasingly mitigated by renourishment efforts that periodically place large volumes of sand onshore. Location of beach-quality sands on the inner continental shelf is challenged in an environment where terrestrial rivers deposit fluvial sediments in back bays and lagoons instead of offshore and by shelf areas that are dominated by muds. The search for beach-quality sands thus requires understanding of the coastal geological framework and morphodynamic processes that accompanied late Quaternary evolution in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The occurrence of surficial sand deposits as positive bathymetric features on the seafloor (ridges, shoals, banks) and presence of sands buried in paleovalley (drowned channels) infill sequences makes for complicated search procedures that must accurately differentiate a range of sedimentary settings by geophysical and geotechnical surveys. Compilation of vast amounts of data from historical core logs and newly acquired information in a marine information system (MIS) permits spatial analyses in a format that is compatible with development of a sand search model. The resulting differentiated investigative sand-search methods, that comprise part of the Texas Sand Search Model (TSSM), are able to target potential borrow areas in ebb-tidal shoals, low-relief ridge deposits, high-relief banks, and in mud-covered paleovalley sequences.

JO - Canadian Geotechnical Journal JF - Canadian Geotechnical Journal Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 193 EP - 211 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00083674 AB - The prediction of liquefaction and resulting displacements is a major concern for earth structures located in regions of moderate to high seismicity. Conventional procedures used to assess liquefaction commonly predict the triggering of liquefaction to depths of 50 m or more. Remediation to prevent or curtail liquefaction at these depths can be very expensive. Field experience during past earthquakes indicates that liquefaction has mainly occurred at depths less than about 15 m, and some recent dynamic centrifuge model testing initially appeared to confirm a depth or confining-stress limitation on the occurrence of liquefaction. Such a limitation on liquefaction could greatly reduce remediation costs. In this paper an effective stress numerical modeling procedure is used to assess these centrifuge tests. The results indicate that a lack of complete saturation and densification at depth arising from the application of the high-acceleration field are largely responsible for the apparent limitation on liquefaction at depth observed in some centrifuge tests. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - La prédiction de la liquéfaction et des déplacements qui en résultent est une préoccupation majeure pour les structures en terre localisées dans des régions de séismicité moyenne à forte. Les procédures conventionnelles utilisées pour évaluer la liquéfaction prédisent communément le déclenchement de la liquéfaction à des profondeurs de 50 m et plus. Le confortement pour prévenir ou réduire la liquéfaction à ces profondeurs peut coûter très cher. L'expérience sur le terrain durant les derniers séismes indique que la liquéfaction s'est produite principalement à des profondeurs inférieures de moins de 15 m, et des essais dynamiques récents sur modèle en centrifuge ont semblé confirmer une limitation de la profondeur ou de la contrainte de confinement pour la génération de la liquéfaction. Une telle limitation sur la liquéfaction pourrait réduire considérablement les coûts de confortement. Dans cet article, on utilise une procédure de modélisation numérique en contrainte effective pour évaluer les essais de centrifuge. Les résultats indiquent qu'un manque de saturation complète de même qu'une densification à une profondeur résultant de l'application du champ des fortes accélérations sont largement responsables de la limitation apparente sur la liquéfaction en profondeur observée dans certains essais au centrifuge.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 63 EP - 69 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - In California's Mediterranean type grasslands, native perennial grasses such as Nassella pulchra are surrounded by introduced annual species and these annuals are thought to have displaced natives through much of their range. Amongst other invaders, two grasses Lolium multiflorum and Bromus hordeaceus, commonly dominate portions of the grassland with potential for N. pulchra restoration. We hypothesized that competitor species differences and small-scale gaps (150 cm2) could be important determinants of N. pulchra survival and performance on these sites. Lolium multiflorum and B. hordeaceus were planted in 20 cm diameter circular plots at a constant rate of 1 seed per cm2 surrounding newly transplanted N. pulchra plants. Nassella pulchra showed no significant effect of the species of competitor or from the distribution of the competitors. Both interspersion of patches of bare ground and separation of competitors into patches did not increase N. pulchra pre-dawn water potential, basal area change, number of seeds produced, or average weight of seeds. The presence of L. multiflorum was associated with a decrease in N. pulchra survival compared with plots with only B. hordeaceus. Plants with increases in basal area of less than 0.75 cm2 during the growing season had 74% mortality compared with no mortality in plants with more growth. However, initial N. pulchra plant size was not a good predictor of mortality. Limiting competition from annuals may increase survival of N. pulchra plantings, but 60% of the plants survived for at least 1 year, despite being transplanted into soil containing substantial annual grass seed.

Physical and chemical properties of the vapors and adsorbents were used to interpret these results that were obtained from 20 to 50°C, with a more limited data set at 125 and 175°C and relative pressures between 0 and 0.99. Fitted isotherms using the Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich adsorption models had mean total relative errors <5.6 and 9.2% for the microporous and mesoporous/macroporous adsorbents, respectively, at the temperature range from 20 to 50°C.

Electrothermal desorption (ED) of ACFC provides rapid regeneration while requiring less energy compared to traditional regeneration techniques used with GAC. This paper provides proof-of-concept results from a bench-scale ACFC adsorption system. The automated system captured 1,000 ppmv of hazardous air pollutants/volatile organic compounds (HAPs/VOCs) from air streams and demonstrated the use of ED, using ac voltage, to recover the HAP/VOC as a pure liquid. The desorbed HAP/VOC condensed onto the inner walls of the adsorber and was collected at the bottom of the vessel, without the use of ancillary cooling. Seventy percent of the HAP/VOC was collected per cycle as condensate, with the balance being retained in the regenerated adsorber or recycled to the second adsorber. ED with in-vessel condensation results in minimal N[sub 2] consumption and short regeneration cycle times allowing the process to be cost competitive with conventional GAC-based adsorption processes. This technology extends the application of carbon adsorption systems to situations that were previously economically and physically impractical.

Methyl propyl ketone (MPK), methyl ethyl ketone, n-hexane, acetone, and methylene chloride were removed and recovered at 200–1,020 ppm[sub v] in a 40.0 slpm air stream while using activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) adsorbent. Removal efficiencies were greater than 99.9%. Liquid recovery fractions increased with increasing relative pressure, ranging from 0.11 for methylene chloride (P/P[sub sat]=2.1×10[sup -3]) to greater than 0.80 for MPK (P/P[sub sat]=2.2×10[sup -2]). The electrical energy consumed during regeneration per mol of liquid organic compound recovered decreased with increasing relative pressure of the inlet gas stream, ranging from 4,698 kJ/mol for methylene chloride to 327 kJ/mol for MPK. Equilibrium ACFC adsorption capacity, throughput ratio, and length of unused bed were also evaluated. These results are encouraging for the development of a new technology to capture and readily recover a wide range of organic vapors from air streams.

The effects of the influent VOC concentration and the organic loading rate on the VOC removal efficiency and on the pattern of biomass accumulation were investigated. Toluene was used as the model VOC, the flow rate of the waste gas stream was 0.59 L/s, and the empty-bed retention time (EBRT) in the ASP portion was 46 s with an actual retention time of about 2 s. The EBRT in the RDB portion was 38 s based on the drum volume. When the VOC feed concentration increased from 221 to 884 mg toluene/m3 (from 57.2 to 229 ppm), correspondingly the organic loading rate of the hybrid bioreactor increased from 1.58 to 6.32 kg chemical oxygen demand/m3/day (from 0.505 to 2.02 kg toluene/m[sup 3]/day) based on the drum volume, both the ASP and RDB decreased, and the overall toluene removal efficiency declined from 99.8 to 74.1%. Biomass accumulation at different medium depths became more even when the organic loading rate was increased. Part of the applied VOC was biodegraded by the ASP, which suggests that this hybrid bioreactor could achieve longer runs between medium cleanings and higher VOC removal efficiencies than a single RDB bioreactor without an ASP portion at the same organic loading rate.

SN - 00188158 AB - We examined sediment resuspension and light attenuation in relation to the potential for macrophytes to improve water quality conditions in Peoria Lake, Illinois (U.S.A.). The lake exhibited high total suspended solids (TSS) loading and retention of predominantly fine-grained particles in 2000. Large fetches along prevailing wind rose, coupled with shallow morphometry and sediment particles composed of >90% silt and clay resulted in frequent periods of sediment resuspension. As calculated (wave theory) shear stress increased above the critical shear stress (measured experimentally), turbidity increased substantially at a resuspension monitoring station. Resuspension model explorations suggested that establishment of submersed aquatic macrophytes could substantially reduce sediment resuspension in Peoria Lake. However, Kd is currently very high, while Secchi transparency low, at in-lake stations. Thus, in order to establish a persistent macrophyte population in the lake to control resuspension, the underwater light regime will have to improve quite dramatically.

SN - 00188158 AB - We examined the impacts of macrophyte beds dominated by a canopy-forming (Myriophyllum sibiricum) and a meadow-forming (Chara canescens) species on bottom shear stress (τ) and resuspension in shallow Lake Christina, Minnesota (U.S.A.). Studies were conducted in late summer, 1998, when macrophyte biomass levels exceeded 200 g m-2, and in early summer, 2000, when biomass was greatly reduced (<20 g m-2) in both plant beds. The critical shear stress (τc) of sediments, measured experimentally in the laboratory, was low (1.4 dynes cm-2) indicating potential for resuspension in the absence of macrophytes. During 1998, turbidity was low at the M. sibiricum and Chara station, rarely increasing when calculated bottom τ (calculated from wave theory assuming no biomass obstruction) exceeded τsubcsub, indicating that both beds reduced sediment resuspension at high biomass levels. In situ τ (estimated τ), measured via gypsum sphere dissolution, did not exceed τc above the sediment interface in either bed during 1998. In contrast, sediment resuspension occurred in both beds during similar high winds in 2000. However, estimated τ was lower than calculated bottom τ, suggesting that at low biomass, macrophytes were having some impact on τ.

The tests also investigated the influence of collision geometry, determined by the debris orientation on impact, on the maximum impact forces. We reviewed the three approaches that represent the existing guidance for estimating maximum impact forces. Each approach estimates the maximum impact force based on the debris velocity and mass. We show that all the existing approaches can be derived from a single-degree-of-freedom model of the collision and can be considered to be equivalent. The laboratory data show that the maximum impact force was associated with a log striking a rigid structure with its end. Oblique and eccentric collisions reduced the maximum impact load in a predictable and consistent manner. The approach we refer to as “contact stiffness,” a linear, one-degree-of-freedom model with no damping, was able to reproduce the laboratory results over the entire range of data, with an effective contact stiffness of 2.4 MN/m.

In addition to consuming up to 60% of the energy needed by automobile assembly plants, however, the painting process also creates both economic and environmental impacts. This study investigated the degree of cost and environmental impact improvement that can be expected when modifications are considered for existing paint processes through heat integration. In order to accomplish this goal, a mathematical model was created to describe the energy use, costs, and environmental impacts from energy consumption in an automobile assembly painting facility. The model agrees with measured energy consumption data for process heating and electricity demand to within about 15% for one Michigan truck facility from which model input parameters were obtained. Thermal pinch analysis determined an energy conservation target of 58% of paint process energy demand. A heat exchanger network optimization study was conducted in order to determine how closely the network design could achieve this target. The resulting heat exchanger network design was profitable based on a discounted cash flow analysis and may achieve reductions in total corporate energy consumption of up to 16% if implemented corporatewide at a major automobile manufacturer.

The purpose of this study was to compare simulated respirator fit factors (FFs) measured using vapor challenges to those measured using an aerosol challenge. A full-facepiece respirator was mounted on a headform inside a small enclosure and modified with controlled leaks (laser-drilled orifices) to produce FFs ranging from about 300 to 30,000. A breathing machine was used to simulate breathing conditions of 1.0 L tidal volume and 25 breaths/min. A monodisperse aerosol consisting of 0.72 µm polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) was used for the reference test aerosol, and FFs were measured using a laser aerosol spectrometer. An inert gas, sulfur hexafiuoride (SF6), and an organic vapor, isoamyl acetate (IAA), were used as the vapor challenges. The in-mask concentration of SF6 was measured using a gas chromatograph (GC). A GC was also used to quantify in-mask IAA concentration samples actively collected with sorbent tubes. FF measurements made with the PSL aerosol challenge were conducted in sequence with the SF6 and IAA challenges, without disturbing the mask, to yield matched data pairs for regression analysis. FFs measured using the PSL reference aerosol were found to correlate well with those measured with the SF6 (r2 = 0.99) and IAA (r2 = 0.98) vapor challenges. FFs measured using IAA tended to be higher at values below 10,000. The best agreement was observed with the inert gas, SF6. The results of this study suggest that submicron aerosols are suitable as quantitative fit test challenges for assessing the performance of respirators against inert vapors.

Both processes can address scientific validity, fair participant selection, favorable risk-benefit ratio, respect for participants, and independent review. In an attempt to guide staff as to whether their project needs IRB review or not, a performance improvement/research advisory panel (PIRAP) was formed to serve two military organizations, in this article, performance improvement and quality improvement is differentiated from research as much as possible, the composition and function of PIRAP is described, and guidelines for publishing findings that support the nature of the project are provided.

We used future value analysis, a combination of three methods to assess future opportunities: (1) a strategic assessment of future opportunities and challenges, (2) a multiple-objective decision analysis using value-focused thinking, and (3) a portfolio analysis using optimization. We then developed a multiple-objective value model to communicate values, evaluate individual tasks, and develop higher value tasks. We used an optimization model to identify the best portfolio of tasks. The office used the models to identify the best tasks for its annual budget in 1998 and, with revisions, in the next two years.

JO - Journal of Toxicology -- Cutaneous & Ocular Toxicology JF - Journal of Toxicology -- Cutaneous & Ocular Toxicology Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 22 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 231 EP - 242 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 07313829 AB - The mouse ear vesicant model (MEVM) is a screening tool used to identify protective compounds against acute sulfur mustard (SM)-induced skin injury. It provides endpoints of edema and histopathology 24 h following a topical SM exposure to assess protection against inflammation and tissue damage. To further evaluate successful compounds, the MEVM was modified for use as a 7-day model. Dose response studies were conducted with SM to select an optimal challenge dose for the new model. Due to severity of SM-induced tissue damage by Day 7, edema and histopathology were determined unreliable endpoints. Therefore, a modified Draize scoring system (no damage to extensive necrosis) was incorporated as an endpoint to evaluate tissue damage out to Day 7. To aid in optimal SM dose selection, retro synthetic capsaicin (RSCAP), a protective compound in the MEVM, was evaluated as a treatment 15 min before exposure to 0.06, 0.08, and 0.16 mg SM. The RSCAP compound provided similar significant protection at Day 7 against the 0.06- (42% reduction) and 0.08-mg doses (32% reduction), but was not effective against the severely necrotizing 0.16-mg SM dose. Based on these results, an optimum SM dose of 0.08 mg was selected. Retro synthetic capsaicin and two pharmacologically inactive analogs were tested as topical treatments 15 min prior to SM challenge. The RSCAP compound significantly reduced injury, whereas the inactive analogs had no protective effect. The RSCAP also significantly reduced SM injury when administered topically 10 min after SM challenge. These data support the use of the 7-day mouse ear vesicant treatment model (MEVTM) in evaluating candidate antivesicant compounds.

The model accommodates arbitrary stress path directions and includes three important elements: (1) development of a yield surface during interface shear; (2) a formulation for yield-inducing shear stiffness that is applicable to any stress path orientation; and (3) a formulation for unloading-reloading shear stiffness. The model was evaluated against the results of shear tests performed at the interface between three different types of sand and a concrete surface under a variety of stress paths. Comparisons between measured and calculated interface response indicate that the model provides accurate estimates of the response of sand-to-concrete interfaces.

This hydrolysate was diluted and fed as sole carbon source to activated sludge in an aerobic sequencing batch reactor. Feed chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations ranged from approximately 2500 mg/L (initial) to 5000 mg/L (final). The reactor was operated essentially on a 15-day hydraulic residence time. Overall COD removal efficiency was 86.2% and the IMPA in the feed was converted to methylphosphonic acid. MICROTOX ® and Daphnia magna aquatic toxicity testing showed the effluent to be of very low toxicity to aquatic test organisms. The final MPA product was effectively absorbed by Phoslock ™, which is a lanthanide modified clay.

Low-frequency sound transmissions were continuously recorded at microphones out to a distance of 1.3 km from a loudspeaker during CASES-99 intensive observation periods (IOPs) 6 and 7. Fading episodes in the received signal energy of 10 to 20 dB, lasting several minutes to an hour, were frequently observed. Strong discrete events, such as the density current and solitary wave of IOP 7, were found to have significant effects on acoustical signals, although substantial variability in received sound energy often occurred outside such events. Sound propagation model predictions demonstrate that wind and temperature data from a tall tower, such as the CASES-99 60-m tower, can be used to predict the momentary variations in a 50-Hz sound signal with good success. Tethersonde and rawinsonde data are generally too infrequent to model many of the strong variations present in the signal. The sensitivity of sound waves to changes in nocturnal boundary layer structure could allow development of new remote sensing methods.

SN - 15662543 AB - Soy protein isolate (SPI) was modified using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl). Adhesion performance of the modified SPI on fiberboard was studied. The Water-soluble mass of the modified SPI adhesives was examined following modified ASTM D5570. The SDS-modified SPI containing 91% protein had a water-soluble mass of 1.7%. To be considered a water-resistant adhesive, the water-soluble mass of adhesive should be less than 2%. The wet shear strength test showed 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard, indicating that the modified SPI has good water resistance. The effect of drying treatment on adhesion performance of the SDS-modified SPI on fiberboard was then investigated. Drying treatment significantly affected the final adhesion performance. Shear strength did not change much, but the percentage of cohesive failure within fiberboard increased markedly as drying temperature increased. All the unsoaked, soaked, and wet specimens glued by the adhesives treated at 70° or 90°C had 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard. Viscosity also increased greatly with an increase in drying temperature. This information will be useful in developing low-cost adhesive processing system in the future.

This study deals with some of the economic impacts of one of these “invaders,” variable milfoil. Variable milfoil can clog waterbodies, cause boating and swimming hazards, and crowd out native species. This study analyzed the effects of variable milfoil on shoreline property values at selected New Hampshire lakes. Results indicate that property values on lakes experiencing milfoil infestation may be considerably lower than similar properties on uninfested lakes. Results are highly sensitive to specification (variable selection) of the hedonic equation.

Icaricia icarioides fenderi (Fender's blue butterfly) and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid's lupine) are federally listed as Endangered and Threatened Species, respectively. Both are Willamette Valley upland prairie endemics, and Kincaid's lupine is the primary host plant for the Fender's blue butterfly. Attempts to grow Kincaid's lupine have been partially successful in a greenhouse situation; however, propagating plants from field-sown seed can be tenuous and plant establishment is unpredictable. Kincaid's lupine seeds were planted in the fall 1997 at two different upland prairie sites, and the cohort was followed through the summer 2000. Based on cohort tables the most vulnerable life stages to mortality are the germinant stage and the first growing year. Mechanical scarification of Kincaid's lupine seeds yielded no significant differences in survivorship, maternal function, plant size, and the percentage of seeds germinated compared with unscarified seeds. Differential seed source performance detected at one planting site suggests that underlying differences in population genetics may affect Kincaid's lupine vigor, fitness, and establishment. Future restoration projects for Kincaid's lupine should focus on upland prairie sites with naturally occurring lupine populations because local ecological conditions are favorable for lupine establishment. Moreover, the addition of new individuals to small Kincaid's lupine colonies will buffer against the effects of inbreeding depression and increase the site carrying capacity for Fender's blue butterfly.

The Army has pledged to implement a program to identify possible munitions contamination. Because of the large size (344,165,000 m²) of the high hazard impact areas, characterization of these constituents will be difficult. We used an authoritative sampling design to find locations most likely to contain explosives-residues on three impact areas. We focused our sampling on surface soils and collected multi-increment and discrete samples at locations of known firing events and from areas on the range that had craters, pieces of munitions, targets, or a designation as a firing point. In the two impact areas used primarily by the Army, RDX was the most frequently detected explosive. In the impact area that was also used by the Air Force, TNT was the most frequently detected explosive. Where detected, the explosives concentrations generally were low (<0.05 mg/kg) except in soils near low-order detonations, where the explosive-filler was in contact with the soil surface. These low-order detonations potentially can serve as localized sources for groundwater contamination if positioned in recharge areas.

At lower water surface elevations, Devils Lake functions as a series of connected basins with salinity increasing in an eastward direction due to evaporation. The recent increase in water depth provides an opportunity for increased dispersive exchange flows and mixing between the lake’s basins due to wind and buoyancy forces. This increased mixing will change the future water quality distribution in Devils Lake, and may therefore have an impact on plans for lake level stabilization. In this paper, a model based on energy and conservation of mass principles is applied to estimate the potential redistribution of sulfate within Devils Lake. The rate of redistribution may affect the lake’s ecosystem and the design of a possible water diversion to the Red River of the North for the purpose of stabilizing the water surface elevation. Included in the paper is the selection of model input parameters, model calibration with field measurements, and application of the model to five future scenarios.

The computed results for ten 500-year simulations are presented for a typical structure as an example. The crest height and armor weight of the structure are designed against the peak of a 100-year storm. The structure designed conventionally is exposed to approximately 350 storms for each 500-year simulation. The computed wave overtopping rate and volume during the entire duration of each storm are analyzed to assess the severity of flooding hazards. The computed progression of damage to the armor layer is caused episodically by several major storms but slows down as the structure ages. The computed results are also used to quantify the equivalent duration of the peak of a storm that yields the same overtopping water volume and damage increment as those computed for the entire storm duration.

These equations employ added mass and hydrodynamic damping coefficients, which depend on vessel shape and the proximity of free-surface and solid boundaries. The present study has experimentally determined these coefficients for barge tows moored in the chamber of navigation locks. Seven lock chamber configurations were tested in which the width, depth, and length of the chamber and the beam width and length of the tow were varied. Values of the added mass coefficient and a nondimensional form of the damping coefficient are presented. Subsequent to modeling flow in a lock chamber, these coefficients can be used in conjunction with hawser properties (spring constants) to estimate hawser forces generated during locking operations.

T1 - The Toxicokinetics of Cyanide and Mandelonitrile in the Horse and Their Relevance to the Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome. JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 13 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 199 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - The epidemiological association between black cherry trees and mare reproductive loss syndrome has focused attention on cyanide and environmental cyanogens. This article describes the toxicokinetics of cyanide in horses and the relationships between blood cyanide concentrations and potentially adverse responses to cyanide. To identify safe and humane blood concentration limits for cyanide experiments, mares were infused with increasing doses (1-12 mg/min) of sodium cyanide for 1 h. Infusion at 12 mg/min produced clinical signs of cyanide toxicity at 38 min; these signs included increased heart rate, weakness, lack of coordination, loss of muscle tone, and respiratory and behavioral distress. Peak blood cyanide concentrations were about 2500 ng/mL; the clinical and biochemical signs of distress reversed when infusion stopped. Four horses were infused with 1 mg/min of sodium cyanide for 1 h to evaluate the distribution and elimination kinetics of cyanide. Blood cyanide concentrations peaked at 1160 ng/mL and then declined rapidly, suggesting a two-compartment, open model. The distribution (alpha) phase half-life was 0.74 h, the terminal (beta phase) half-life was 16.16 h. The mean residence time was 12.4 h, the steady-state volume of distribution was 2.21 L/kg, and the mean systemic clearance was 0.182 L/h/kg. Partitioning studies showed that blood cyanide was about 98.5% associated with the red cell fraction. No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these infusion experiments. Mandelonitrile was next administered orally at 3 mg/kg to four horses. Cyanide was rapidly available from the orally administered mandelonitrile and the C max blood concentration of 1857 ng/mL was observed at 3 min after dosing; thereafter, blood cyanide again declined rapidly, reaching 100 ng/mL by 4 h postadministration. The mean oral bioavailability of cyanide from mandelonitrile was 57% ± 6.5 (SEM), and its apparent terminal half-life was 13 h ± 3 (SEM). No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these experiments. These data show that during acute exposure to higher doses of cyanide (∼600 mg/horse; 2500 ng/mL of cyanide in blood), redistribution of cyanide rapidly terminated the acute toxic responses. Similarly, mandelonitrile rapidly delivered its cyanide content, and acute cyanide intoxications following mandelonitrile administration can also be terminated by redistribution. Rapid termination of cyanide intoxication by redistribution is consistent with and explains many of the clinical and biochemical characteristics of acute, high-dose cyanide toxicity. On the other hand, at lower concentrations (<100 ng/mL in blood), metabolic transformation of cyanide is likely the dominant mechanism of termination of action. This process is slow, with terminal half-lives ranging from 12-16 hours. The large volume of distribution and the long terminal-phase-elimination half-life of cyanide suggest different mechanisms for toxicities and termination of toxicities associated with low-level exposure to cyanide. If environmental exposure to cyanide is a factor in the cause of MRLS, then it is likely in the more subtle effects of low concentrations of cyanide on specific metabolic processes that the associations will be found.

It is based on spatial simulation analysis and fuzzy logic. The method is demonstrated in a restoration allocation problem within a military training area in Texas. Fuzzy logic is integrated with spatial analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to make land condition assessment geographically specific. Two sources of uncertainty in Land Condition Analysis are considered in this paper. First is the uncertainty due to incomplete information on land condition. Second is the uncertainty emanating from identifying the condition of a particular parcel of land. The first is addressed by using sequential Gaussian simulation, a geostatistical tool. Erosion status is selected as the land condition factor, and uncertainty associated with it is considered in this study. Land allocation is based on fuzzy logic to reflect the continuous transition between different land conditions and the minimization of loss that is expected to occur in the case of misallocation. Various forms of loss functions are used for allocating areas in need of restoration. An important result of the study is a map showing the areas allocated for restoration. The proposed method is compared to two alternative methods with varying degrees of determinism and uncertainty. The incorporation of uncertainty led to better allocation strategies and results that are more realistic.

Field evaluation of a ‘lethal ovitrap’ (LO) to control dengue vector Aedes mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), was undertaken in two Brazilian municipalities, Areia Branca and Nilopolis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The LO is designed to kill Aedes via an insecticide-treated ovistrip (impregnated with deltamethrin). In each municipality, the intervention was applied to a group of 30 houses (10 LOs/house) and compared to 30 houses without LOs in the same neighbourhood. Five LOs were put outside and five LOs inside each treated house. Three methods of monitoring Aedes density were employed: (i) percentage of containers positive for larvae and/or pupae; (ii) total pupae/house; (iii) total adult females/house collected by aspirator indoors. Weekly mosquito surveys began during the month before LO placement, by sampling from different groups of 10 houses/week for 3 weeks pre-intervention (i.e. 30 houses/month) and for 3 months post-intervention in both treated and untreated areas. Prior to LO placement at the end of February 2001, Aedes aegypti (L) densities were similar among houses scheduled for LO treatment and comparison (untreated control) at each municipality. Very few Ae. albopictus (Skuse) were found and this species was excluded from the assessment. Post-intervention densities of Ae. aegypti were significantly reduced for most comparators (P < 0.01), as shown by fewer positive containers (4–5 vs. 10–18) and pupae/house (0.3–0.7 vs. 8–10) at LO-treated vs. untreated houses, 3 months post-treatment at both municipalities. Numbers of adult Ae. aegypti females indoors were consistently reduced in LO-treated houses at Areia Branca (3.6 vs. 6.8/house 3 months post-intervention) but not at Niloplis (∼3/house, attributed to immigration). These results demonstrate sustained impact of LOs on dengue vector population densities in housing conditions of Brazilian municipalities.

SN - 01757598 AB - We conducted a series of steady-state and short-term experiments on a three-phase circulating-bed biofilm reactor (CBBR) for removing toluene from gas streams. The goal was to investigate the effect of macroporous-carrier size (1-mm cubes versus 4-mm cubes) on CBBR performance over a wide range of oxygen loading. We hypothesized that the smaller biomass accumulation with 1-mm carriers would minimize dissolved-oxygen (DO) limitation and improve toluene removal, particularly when the DO loading is constrained. The CBBR with 1-mm carriers overcame the performance limitation observed with the CBBR with 4-mm carriers: i.e., oxygen depletion inside the biofilm. The 1-mm carriers consistently gave superior removal of toluene and chemical oxygen-demand, and the advantage was greatest for the lowest oxygen loading and the greatest toluene loading. The 1-mm carriers achieved superior performance because they minimized the negative effects of oxygen depletion, while continuing to provide protection from excess biomass detachment and inhibition from toluene.

It is a hardy organism and known to survive over a wide range of water activities, pH values, and temperatures. The objective of this study was to model the survival or gradual inactivation of S aureus ATCC 13565 in intermediate moisture foods (IMFs). Various initial concentrations (∼10¹, 10², 10³, and 104 CFU/g) were used to inoculate three different IMFs (beefsteak, bread, and chicken pockets). Viable counts were determined up to 60 days using tryptic soy agar. Inoculum size did not influence the survival or gradual inactivation of S. aureus in these foods. The rate of change (increase or decrease) in log CFU/day was calculated for every consecutive pair of data points and by linear regression for each inactivation curve. Both consecutive pair and linear regression rates of change were fit to logistic distributions (with parameters α and β) for each food. Based on the distribution parameters, survival or gradual reactivation of X aureus was predicted by computer simulation. The simulations indicated an overall decline in X aureus population over time, although a small fraction of samples in the consecutive pair simulation showed a slight population increase even after 60 days, consistent with the observed data. Simulation results were compared to predictions from other computer models. The models of Stewart et al. were fail-safe, predicting the possibility of significant growth only after »3,000 days. The USDA pathogen modeling program predictions were found to be fail-dangerous, predicting declines at least four times faster than observed.

Although all these taxa fit the broad definition of Microcoleus vaginatus (Vaucher) Gomont in common usage by soil algal researchers, sequence data for the 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region indicated that more than one species was represented. Combined sequence and morphological data revealed the presence of two morphologically similar taxa, M. vaginatus and Microcoleus steenstrupii Boye-Petersen. The rRNA operons of these taxa were sufficiently dissimilar that we suspect the two taxa belong in separate genera. The M. vaginatus clade was most similar to published sequences from Trichodesmium and Arthrospira. When 16S sequences from the isolates we identified as M. steenstrupii were compared with published sequences, our strains grouped with M. chthonoplastes (Mertens) Zanardini ex Gomont and may have closest relatives among several genera in the Phormidiaceae. Organization within the 16S–23S ITS regions was variable between the two taxa. Microcoleus vaginatus had either two tRNA genes (tRNAIle and tRNAAla ) or a fragment of the tRNAIle gene in its ITS regions, whereas M. steenstrupii had rRNA operons with either the tRNAIle gene or no tRNA genes in its ITS regions. Microcoleus vaginatus showed no subspecific variation within the combined morphological and molecular characterizations, with 16S similarities ranging from 97.1% to 99.9%. Microcoleus steenstrupii showed considerable genetic variability, with 16S similarities ranging from 91.5% to 99.4%. In phylogenetic analyses, we found that this variability was not congruent with geography, and we suspect that our M. steenstrupii strains represent several cryptic species.

SN - 0364152X AB - Both permit requirements and ecological assessments have been used to evaluate mitigation success. This analysis combines these two approaches to evaluate mitigation required under Section 404 of the United States Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, which allow developers to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands. This study reviewed permit files and conducted field assessments of mitigation sites to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation required by the US Army Corps of Engineers for all permits issued in Orange County, California from 1979 through 1993. The 535 permit actions approved during this period allowed 157 ha of impacts. Mitigation was required on 70 of these actions, with 152 ha of enhanced, restored, and created habitat required for 136 ha of impacts. In 15 permit actions, no mitigation project was constructed, but in only two cases was the originally permitted project built; the two cases resulted in an unmitigated loss of 1.6 ha. Of the remaining 55 sites, 55% were successful at meeting the permit conditions while 11% failed to do so. Based on a qualitative assessment of habitat quality, only 16% of the sites could be considered successful and 26% were considered failures. Thus, of the 126 ha of habitat lost due to the 55 projects, only 26 ha of mitigation was considered successful. The low success rate was not due to poor enforcement, although nearly half of the projects did not comply with all permit conditions. Mitigation success could best be improved by requiring mitigation plans to have performance standards based on habitat functions.

SN - 0364152X AB - Twenty-three Section 404 permits in central Pennsylvania (covering a wetland age range of 1–14 years) were examined to determine the type of mitigation wetland permitted, how the sites were built, and what success criteria were used for evaluation. Most permits allowed for mitigation out-of-kind, either vegetatively or through hydrogeomorphic class. The mitigation process has resulted in a shift from impacted wetlands dominated by woody species to less vegetated mitigation wetlands, a trend that appears to be occurring nationwide. An estimate of the percent cover of emergent vegetation was the only success criterion specified in the majority of permits. About 60% of the mitigation wetlands were judged as meeting their originally defined success criteria, some after more than 10 years. The permit process appears to have resulted in a net gain of almost 0.05 ha of wetlands per mitigation project. However, due to the replacement of emergent, scrub–shrub, and forested wetlands with open water ponds or uplands, mitigation practices probably led to a net loss of vegetated wetlands.

SN - 00496979 AB - An aquatic hazard assessment of contaminated groundwater in a surficial aquifer was conducted at Beach Point which is located in the Edgewood Area of the U.S. Army Garrison, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Toxicity was detected at various groundwater concentrations by seven of 10 toxicity test systems exposed to a mixture of heavy metals and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons. When estimated maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations (MATC) were established, the data for algae, invertebrates, and fish suggested that the groundwater would not be harmful at a concentration of 10% groundwater by volume. Likewise, no genotoxicity (Ames and SEC assays), development toxicity (FETAX), or chronic histopathology (9-month fish test) occurred at 10% groundwater by volume. Near-field (ULINE model) and far-field (dye-tracer model) screening level dilution models were run to estimate the dilution of the groundwater discharge plume from Beach Point into the Bush River. The groundwater was considered to be a potentially excessive hazardous material to the biota in the Bush River when a number of conservative assumptions regarding contaminant distribution and discharge rate of the aquifer were used in the hazard assessment. By modeling the groundwater emanating from Beach Point as the dilution of a discharge from a line diffuser, the potential water quality impacts were judged to be minimal if State of Maryland surface water discharge criteria for a mixing zone were used for the discharge of groundwater to the Bush River.

While it is important to distinguish between population variability (e.g., true population heterogeneity in fish weight, and lipid content) and uncertainty (e.g., measurement error), they can be operationally difficult to define separately in probabilistic estimates of human health and ecological risk. We propose a disaggregation of uncertain and variable parameters based on: (1) availability of supporting data; (2) the specific management and regulatory context (in this case, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tiered approach to dredged material management); and (3) professional judgment and experience in conducting probabilistic risk assessments. We describe and quantitatively evaluate several sources of uncertainty and variability in estimating risk to human health from trophic transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using a case study of sediments obtained from the New York-New Jersey Harbor and being evaluated for disposal at an open water off-shore disposal site within the northeast region. The estimates of PCB concentrations in fish and dietary doses of PCBs to humans ingesting fish are expressed as distributions of values, of which the arithmetic mean or mode represents a particular fractile. The distribution of risk values is obtained using a food chain biomagnification model developed by Gobas by specifying distributions for input parameters disaggregated to represent either uncertainty or variability. Only those sources of uncertainty that could be quantified were included in the analysis. Results for several different two-dimensional Latin Hypercube analyses are provided to evaluate the influence of the uncertain versus variable disaggregation of...

JO - Soil & Sediment Contamination JF - Soil & Sediment Contamination Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 11 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 327 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15320383 AB - The production of 3,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-hexahydrotriazine (RDX), and octahydro-1,3,5-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) has resulted in significant contamination of soil and groundwater at ammunition plants. The development of remediation and risk management strategies requires an understanding of the environmental fate and transport processes affecting TNT, RDX, and HMX. The transformation and soil sorption are key process descriptors that must be quantified to effectively evaluate the environmental fate of these contaminants in aquifer soils and groundwater. The objective of this laboratory study was to determine the effects of changing composition of simulated groundwater on TNT, RDX, and HMX adsorption in low carbon aquifer soils. Batch shake tests using homo-ionic aquifer soils and clay minerals were used to determine the effects of cation composition on sorption. Results of batch shake tests showed that simulated groundwater cation composition substantially affected the sorption of TNT in aquifer soils. Saturation of the cation exchange sites with K[sup+] and NH[sub4][sup+] resulted in increased TNT sorption to the aquifer soils by up to 9780%. TNT adsorption by biionic K[sup+]:Ca[sup++] aquifer soil increased until 40% saturation of the exchange sites was attained. Past this point, pronounced increases in adsorption were not observed until 100% saturation with K[sup+] was reached. Changing the cation substitution on aquifer soils by saturation with either K[sup+] or NH[sub4][sup+] did not consistently increase the adsorption of RDX and HMX. TNT shows great potential for treatment using cation substitution, while this is not the case for nitramines.

S. Army sites. Some of these sites are slated for return to public use after remediation. Potential hazards associated with use of these sites for vegetable gardening after remediation to low-level residual contamination are a special concern. The objective of this study was to quantify plant uptake of explosives from contaminated soil and irrigation water. Greenhouse studies were conducted with corn, tomato, lettuce, and radish to determine uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from contaminated soil and uptake of RDX from contaminated irrigation water. A mass balance study of tomato, lettuce, and radish was conducted in chambers using carbon-14 labeled RDX. All crops accumulated RDX from soils contaminated at 5.8 mg kg[sup-1], a remediation goal based on a site-specific risk assessment. All edible plant tissues accumulated RDX from soil except corn kernels. TNT was detected only in corn stover. At 100 μ L[sup-1] RDX in irrigation water, accumulation of RDX by plants was undetectable. These results suggest that human health hazards from ingestion of vegetables growing in soils contaminated with low levels of RDX be carefully considered in plans for future use of remediated sites.

SN - 00068314 AB - The role of sea spray in transferring heat and moisture across the air-sea interface has remained elusive. Some studies have reported that sea spray does not affect the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes for 10-m wind speeds up to at least 25 m s-1, while others have reported important spray contributions for wind speeds as low as 12 m s-1. One goal of the HEXOS (Humidity Exchange over the Sea) program was to quantify spray's contribution to the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes, but original analyses of the HEXOS flux data found the spray signal to be too small to be reliably identified amid the scatter in the data. We look at the HEXOS data again in the context of the TOGA-COARE bulk flux algorithm and a sophisticated microphysical spray model. This combination of quality data and state-of-the-art modelling reveals a distinct spray signature in virtually all HEXOS turbulent heat flux data collected in winds of 15 m s-1 and higher. Spray effects are most evident in the latent heat flux data, where spray contributes roughly 10% of the total turbulent flux in winds of 10 m s-1 and between 10 and 40% in winds of 15–18 m s-1. The spray contribution to the total sensible heat flux is also at least 10% in winds above 15 m s-1. These results lead to a new, unified parameterization for the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes that should be especially useful in high winds because it acknowledges both the interfacial and spray routes by which the sea exchanges heat and moisture with the atmosphere.

SN - 09234861 AB - Patterns of fish mortality and associated physicochemical factors were studied during late spring in a managed wetland canal along the lower Missouri River, Missouri. Mean dawn dissolved oxygen was lower and mean un-ionized ammonia and turbidity were higher during the fish kill than before or after the kill, or than was observed in a nearby wetland canal where no fish kill occurred. Dissolved oxygen at dawn and un-ionized ammonia concentrations were at critically low and high levels respectively, so that both likely contributed to the fish mortality. Timing and magnitude of observed carcasses suggested that Ameiurus melas Rafinesques was the most tolerant species for the sizes observed compared to Ictiobus cyprinellus Valenciennes, Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque, Cyprinus carpio Linneaus, and Lepomis cyanellus Rafinesque. Decreasing mean lengths of fish carcasses during the fish kill for C. carpio, L. cyanellus, and A. melas, indicate that smaller fishes may have been more tolerant of harsh environmental conditions than larger individuals of the same species. Differential mortalities among species and sizes during drawdowns in actively managed wetland pools may have intentional and unintentional ramifications on wetland and riverine fish community structure, fish-avian interactions, and implementing an ecosystem management perspective to restoring more naturalized river floodplain wetland functions. Late summer and early autumn draining of managed wetlands might be used to benefit a wider diversity of wildlife and fishes.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 66 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 176 EP - 184 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 10966080 AB - Sarin (GB) vapor exposure is associated with both systemic and local toxic effects occurring primarily via the inhalation and ocular routes. The objective of these studies was to develop models for predicting dose-response effects of GB vapor concentrations as a function of exposure duration. Thus, the probability of GB vapor-induced lethality was estimated in rats exposed to various combinations of exposure concentration and duration. Groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to one of a series of GB vapor concentrations for a single duration (5–360 min) in a whole-body dynamic chamber. The onset of clinical signs and changes in blood cholinesterase activity were measured with each exposure. Separate effective concentrations for lethality in 50% of the exposed population (LC50) and corresponding dose-response slopes were determined for each exposure duration by the Bliss probit method. Contrary to that predicted by Haber's rule, the interaction of LC50 × time (LCT50) values increased with exposure duration (i.e., the CT for 50% lethality in the exposed population and corresponding dose-response slope was not constant over time). A plot of log (LCT50) versus log (exposure time) showed significant curvature. Predictive models derived from multifactor probit analysis of results describing the relationship between exposure conditions and probability of lethality in the rat are discussed. Overall, female rats were more sensitive to GB vapor toxicity than male rats over the range of exposure concentration and duration studied. Miosis was the initial clinical sign noted after the start of GB vapor exposure. Although blood cholinesterase activity was significantly inhibited by GB vapor exposure, poor correlation between cholinesterase inhibition and exposure conditions or cholinesterase inhibition and severity of clinical signs was noted.

SN - 15691705 AB - The interaction and behavior of surfaces or colloids is of quantitative significance in understanding the transport and fate of compounds and microorganisms in environmental systems. Historically, the DLVO model of colloid stability has described these interactions. This model finds its basis in a force (energy) balance that comprises attractive van der Waals and repulsive electrostatic interactions. Recently, the DLVO model has been found unable to fully describe biotic and abiotic colloidal behavior in aqueous media. The suspending phase (commonly water) is often treated as a force (energy) transmitting or propagating medium. It is reasonable to believe that the structure of water may participate in a more significant fashion. Moreover, other moieties (sorbed and dissolved) may also have non-DLVO effects. Significant work has been focused on extending the precepts of the traditional DLVO model to accommodate these non-DLVO forces (energies). This paper reviews many of the interactions that play a role in environmental systems and are not commonly subsumed by the traditional DLVO model: e.g., hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic effect, hydration pressure, non-charge transfer Lewis acid base interactions, and steric interactions.

SN - 0364152X AB - The Land Condition Trend Analysis (LCTA) program is the US Army's standard for land inventory and monitoring, employing standardized methods of natural resources data collection, analyses, and reporting designed to meet multiple goals and objectives. Critical to using LCTA data in natural resources management decisions is the ability of the LCTA protocols to detect changes in natural resources. To quantify the ability of LCTA protocols to detect resource changes, power analysis techniques were used to estimate minimum detectable effect sizes (MDES) for selected primary and secondary management variables for three Army installations. MDES for a subset of primary variables were estimated using data from 27 installation LCTA programs. MDES for primary and secondary variables varied widely. However, LCTA programs implemented at larger installations with lower sampling intensities detected changes in installation resources as well as programs implemented at smaller more intensively sampled installations. As a national monitoring program that is implemented at individual installations, LCTA protocols provide relatively consistent monitoring data to detect changes in resources despite diverse resource characteristics and implementation constraints.

DOE’s approach was uncommonly open, including tribal, regulatory agency, and other Hanford interest group representatives on the board that was to develop the assessment approach. The CRCIA process had attributes of the “analytic-deliberative” process for risk assessment recommended by the National Research Council. Nevertheless, differences between the DOE and other participants over what was meant by the term “comprehensive” in the group’s charge, coupled with differing perceptions of the likely effectiveness of remediation efforts in reducing risks, were never resolved. The CRCIA effort became increasingly fragmented and the role its products were to play in influencing future clean-up decisions increasingly ambiguous. A procedural evaluation of the CRCIA process, based on Thomas Webler’s procedural normative model of public participation, reveals numerous instances in which theoretical-normative discourse disconnects occurred. These had negative implications for both the basic procedural dimensions of Webler’s model—fairness and competence. Tribal and other interest group representatives lacked the technical resources necessary to make or challenge what philosopher Jurgens Habermas terms cognitive validity claims, while DOE and its contractors did not challenge normative claims made by tribal representatives. The results are cautionary for implementation of the analytic-deliberative process. They highlight the importance of bringing rigor to the evaluation of the quality of the deliberation component of risk characterization via the analytic-deliberative process, as well as to the analytic component.

AB - The extent to which multiple past concussions are associated with lingering symptoms or mental health problems in military service members is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between lifetime concussion history, cognitive functioning, general health, and psychological health in a large sample of fit-for-duty U.S. Army soldiers preparing for deployment. Data on 458 active-duty soldiers were collected and analyzed. A computerized cognitive screening battery (CNS-Vital Signs(®)) was used to assess complex attention (CA), reaction time (RT), processing speed (PS), cognitive flexibility (CF), and memory. Health questionnaires included the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), PTSD Checklist-Military Version (PCL-M), Zung Depression and Anxiety Scales (ZDS; ZAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Alcohol Use and Dependency Identification Test (AUDIT). Soldiers with a history of multiple concussions (i.e., three or more concussions) had significantly greater post-concussive symptom scores compared with those with zero (d = 1.83, large effect), one (d = 0.64, medium effect), and two (d = 0.64, medium effect) prior concussions. Although the group with three or more concussions also reported more traumatic stress symptoms, the results revealed that traumatic stress was a mediator between concussions and post-concussive symptom severity. There were no significant differences on neurocognitive testing between the number of concussions. These results add to the accumulating evidence suggesting that most individuals recover from one or two prior concussions, but there is a greater risk for ongoing symptoms if one exceeds this number of injuries.

AB - This study examined psychological and physical health factors in a cohort of U.S. Marine recruits with the goal of developing a comprehensive understanding of attributes recruits bring to training. 1,350 male recruits completed a multimeasure survey during the first week of training. A 2-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to explore the relationship of hardiness dimensions on several psychological and physical factors. Compared with other military samples, this cohort reported similar levels on hardiness control and rigidity subscales. Recruits who reported higher scores on a measure of positive hardiness also reported higher scores on measures of grit, grit ambition, sensation seeking, training expectations, positive ways of coping, physical and mental health, fitness scores, and lower scores on a measure of depression. This study provides a more complete understanding of the complex array of attributes of Marine recruits and forms a foundation for predictive models of injury risk and/or attrition.

AB - The objective of this work was to compare consumer’s liking and perception of meat quality attributes as a function of their familiarity and involvement with fresh meat. Ninety-three meat consumers were classified on the basis of their familiarity with fresh meats. Socio-demographic differences between the clusters were found to relate to gender and age, and high familiarity (HF) consumers showed higher involvement with meat. HF consumers enjoyed consuming meat, and they associated a symbolic value to it. In addition, their liking ratings were higher than those of low familiarity (LF) consumers for both appearance and taste of three specific types of fresh meat over the course of product shelf-life. The perceived risks associated with meat consumption and product choice were similar between groups. Both consumer segments reported that the most important driver of fresh meat purchase is its appearance, while the role of extrinsic cues differed among the groups. The HF group needed more information when choosing meat. Regardless of familiarity level, liking was consistent with beef appearance as affected by storage, but the prediction of experienced sensory quality lacked consistency when the perceived intrinsic cue variation was not associated with meat freshness.

AB - Exposure to organophosphate (OP) nerve agents, such as sarin, may lead to uncontrolled seizures and irreversible brain injury and neuropathology. In rat studies, a median lethal dose of sarin leads to approximately half of the animals developing seizures. Whereas previous studies analyzed transcriptomic effects associated with seizing sarin-exposed rats, our study focused on the cohort of sarin-exposed rats that did not develop seizures. We analyzed the genomic changes occurring in sarin-exposed, non-seizing rats and compared differentially expressed genes and pathway activation to those of seizing rats. At the earliest time point (0.25h) and in multiple sarin-sensitive brain regions, defense response genes were commonly expressed in both groups of animals as compared to the control groups. All sarin-exposed animals activated the MAPK signaling pathway, but only the seizing rats activated the apoptotic-associated JNK and p38 MAPK signaling sub-pathway. A unique phenotype of the non-seizing rats was the altered expression levels of genes that generally suppress inflammation or apoptosis. Importantly, the early transcriptional response for inflammation- and apoptosis-related genes in the thalamus showed opposite trends, with significantly down-regulated genes being up-regulated, and vice versa, between the seizing and non-seizing rats. These observations lend support to the hypothesis that regulation of anti-inflammatory genes might be part of an active and sufficient response in the non-seizing group to protect against the onset of seizures. As such, stimulating or activating these responses via pretreatment strategies could boost resilience against nerve agent exposures.

AB - Seventy-one deployed U.S. Army soldiers who presented for concussion care due to either blast or blunt mechanisms within 72 h of injury were assessed using the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation, the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM), traditional neuropsychological tests, and health status questionnaires. Follow-up ANAM testing was performed 10 d after initial testing (± 5 d). Twenty-one soldiers were excluded: two for poor effort and 19 who had combined blast/blunt injuries. Of the remaining 50 male participants, 34 had blast injuries and 16 had blunt injuries. There were no statistically significant differences between blast injury and blunt injury participants in demographic, physical, or psychological health factors, concussive symptoms, or automated and traditional neurocognitive testing scores within 72 h post-injury. In addition, follow-up ANAM scores up to 15 d post-injury were not significantly different (available on 21 blast-injured and 13 blunt-injured subjects). Pre-injury baseline ANAM scores were compared where available, and revealed no statistically significant differences between 22 blast injury and eight blunt injury participants. These findings suggest there are no significant differences between mechanisms of injury during both the acute and subacute periods in neurobehavioral concussion sequelae while deployed in a combat environment. The current study supports the use of sports/mechanical concussion models for early concussion management in the deployed setting and exploration of variability in potential long-term outcomes.

AB - Shooting a firearm involves a complex series of cognitive abilities. For example, locating an item or a person of interest requires visual search, and firing the weapon (or withholding a trigger squeeze) involves response execution (or inhibition). The present study used a simulated shooting environment to establish a relationship between a particular cognitive ability and a critical shooting error—response inhibition and firing on civilians, respectively. Individual-difference measures demonstrated, perhaps counterintuitively, that simulated civilian casualties were not related to motor impulsivity (i.e., an itchy trigger finger) but rather to an individual’s cognitive ability to withhold an already initiated response (i.e., an itchy brain). Furthermore, active-response-inhibition training reduced simulated civilian casualties, which revealed a causal relationship. This study therefore illustrates the potential of using cognitive training to possibly improve shooting performance, which might ultimately provide insight for military and law-enforcement personnel.

AB - Most existing literature on religion/spirituality (R/S) and resiliency focuses on mainstream populations, where R/S appears to be a search for positive meaning, protective factors, and a predictor of successful adaptation in coping with adversity. The role of R/S in fostering resilience among Muslim Military Personnel (MMP) and other minority faith groups is understudied, and it remains unclear how religious coping strategies apply to minority religious groups when faced with faith-related stressors. This study explores situations in which R/S is perceived as both a protective and a risk factor for MMP and describes the effects that faith-related stressors have on their psychological wellbeing. The study used in-depth individual interviews with 20 U.S. MMP, active, reserves/national guards, and retired, from different backgrounds. Grounded thematic analysis guided the processing of qualitative interview data, using the software package NVivo9. The results demonstrate the central role of R/S and practice in the life of MMP, support the approach of understanding resiliency through vulnerability, as well as the importance of the cultural meaning MMP attach to their experiences with adversity and how these meanings contribute to their resiliency. The study has policy and practice implications for social work and other helping professions, as well as for current and likely future American wars and the organization of faith-based services within the total U.S. Armed Forces (USAF).

Bulzacchelli et al. performed a systematic review to determine the level of evidence for 23 potential risk factors for injuries during Army basic combat training (BCT), including gender and physical fitness. They concluded that evidence was limited, mixed, or insufficient for all but age, smoking, and low physical activity prior to basic training. The authors feel that the methodology used by Bulzacchelli et al. dismissed or ignored substantial relevant evidence, and the conclusions do not reflect familiarity with existing data. As a result, the readers are erroneously led to believe little is known about two of the most important and consistent injury risk factors among Army trainees: gender and aerobic fitness. The credibility of a systematic review depends largely on the thoroughness of the search for relevant studies. Bulzacchelli et al. searched only a single database, thus excluding many publically available military reports readily obtainable through the Defense Technical Information Center. As a result of the overly narrow criteria used to score, include, and synthesize studies, Bulzacchelli et al. also failed to capture and adequately assess the breadth of evidence.

AB - Individuals in high-risk occupations (e.g., military service) often report physical, psychological, and organizational problems. Although leaders can partially buffer their subordinates against these problems, the impact of established leadership skills appears limited, especially in high-risk occupations. Thus, building on recent theories of domain-specific leadership, we examined whether leadership focused on the specific domain of sleep might be negatively associated with some specific problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations, beyond their relationship with general leadership. Studying military personnel on peacekeeping and combat deployments, we predicted that 'sleep leadership' would be negatively associated with sleep problems (physical), depressive symptoms (psychological), and negative climate (organizational), and that sleep would mediate the relationship between sleep leadership and the psychological and organizational problems. Results were generally supportive, contributing to theories of domain-specific leadership by showing that sleep-focused leader behaviors may go beyond general leadership behaviors, relating directly to the problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations.

SN - 00904341 AB - A sediment quality assessment survey and subsequent toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) study was conducted at several sites in Puget Sound, Washington. The sites were previously suspected of contamination with ordnance compounds. The initial survey employed sea urchin porewater toxicity tests to locate the most toxic stations. Sediments from the most toxic stations were selected for comprehensive chemical analyses. Based on the combined information from the toxicity and chemical data, three adjacent stations in Ostrich Bay were selected for the TIE study. The results of the phase I TIE suggested that organics and metals were primarily responsible for the observed toxicity in the sea urchin fertilization test. In addition to these contaminants, ammonia was also contributing to the toxicity for the sea urchin embryological development test. The phase II TIE study isolated the majority of the toxicity in the fraction containing nonpolar organics with high log Kow, but chemical analyses failed to identify a compound present at a concentration high enough to be responsible for the observed toxicity. The data suggest that some organic or organometallic contaminant(s) that were not included in the comprehensive suite of chemical analyses caused the observed toxicological responses.

SN - 00904341 AB - A toxicity database for ordnance compounds was generated using eight compounds of concern and marine toxicity tests with five species from different phyla. Toxicity tests and endpoints included fertilization success and embryological development with the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata; zoospore germination, germling length, and cell number with the green macroalga Ulva fasciata; survival and reproductive success of the polychaete Dinophilus gyrociliatus; larvae hatching and survival with the redfish Sciaenops ocellatus; and survival of juveniles of the opossum shrimp Americamysis bahia (formerly Mysidopsis bahia). The studied ordnance compounds were 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid), and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). The most sensitive toxicity test endpoints overall were the macroalga zoospore germination and the polychaete reproduction tests. The most toxic ordnance compounds overall were tetryl and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. These were also the most degradable compounds, often being reduced to very low or below-detection levels at the end of the test exposure. Among the dinitro- and trinitrotoluenes and benzenes, toxicity tended to increase with the level of nitrogenation. Picric acid and RDX were the least toxic chemicals tested overall.

SN - 00068314 AB - Applications of Kolmogorov's universal equilibrium hypothesis and the Taylor transform to velocity spectra derived from measurements within the low frequency portion of the atmospheric surface layer (ASL) inertial subrange are examined. The measured ratios of lateral to longitudinal velocity component spectra exhibit considerable scatter, but suggest convergence towards 1.0 rather than towards the 4/3 expected from theory. Shear and buoyancy introduce anisotropy to the inertial subrange, thereby contributing to the observed scatter. The apparent discrepancy between the 4/3 velocity component spectrum ratio expected from theory and the measurements could arise as a consequence of the processing used to produce spectra. These processing effects must be considered from the perspective of the propagating eddy. Spectral averaging used with sonic anemometer data is done over time periods that are large with respect to inertial subrange eddy correlation decay times. This averaging causes energy from larger scale eddies to appear as `local convection' that dominates the Taylor transform. Spectrum ratio convergence and cospectra approaching zero are necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for onset of local isotropy. Measurements of spectrum ratios and cospectra over the entire inertial subrange are needed to determine whether or not local isotropy might occur within the ASL.

SN - 00904341 AB - The lethal and sublethal toxicity of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) to the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was determined using sediment spiked with 14C-labeled compound. Juvenile amphipods were exposed to concentrations up to 9.9 nmol/g dry weight (3.5 μg/g). Acute effects on survival were determined in a 10-day experiment. Chronic effects on survival, growth, and reproduction were assessed in a 28-day experiment. The DDT in the sediments transformed to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and polar metabolites during the 14-day sediment storage prior to exposing the amphipods. The mixture of DDT and its breakdown products (tDDT) was comprised mostly of DDT at the beginning of the exposures. DDD was the prevalent compound at termination of the 28-day exposure. Complete mortality occurred at sediment concentrations of tDDT as low as 7 nmol/g (2.3 μg/g) in both acute and chronic experiments. Most of the mortality appeared to have occurred within the first 4 days of exposure. No sublethal reductions in growth or reproduction were observed in the 28-day experiment. In the 10-day experiment, where amphipods did not receive supplemental food, growth was significantly increased in DDT treatments where survival was not affected. The concentration of tDDT in amphipod tissues was determined at exposure termination. In the 10-day experiment, a mean body residue of 14 nmol/g wet weight was associated with significant mortality (30%). Lower critical body residues were observed in the 28-day experiment, where the median lethal tissue residue (LR50) was 7.6 (6.8–8.4, 95% confidence interval) nmol/g wet weight. Based on previous studies, the lethal critical body residue for L. plumulosus is similar to those determined for freshwater amphipods and substantially lower than those determined for cladocerans and polychaetes.

The harmonics can be of the same magnitude as those produced by bottom friction and dominate those produced by nonlinear terms in the equations of motion. A closed-form analytic solution of the linearized depth-averaged equations of motion including friction is discussed for the situation of a sea breeze blowing on an idealized one-dimensional basin of constant depth. The solution reveals the generation of odd harmonics introduced by the quadratic wind stress and role of (linearized) friction. Sea-breeze forcing on the idealized basin is numerically modeled, and agreement with the analytic solution is found. The numerical model is then run with quadratic bottom friction and nonlinear terms to compare relative contributions to the generation of harmonics. Harmonics of the water motion are distinguished as forced, or arising from the wind forcing, and as response, or arising from the interactions within the water. The hydrodynamics of Baffin Bay, Texas, are modeled and spatial variation and relative strength of the harmonics investigated. Baffin Bay is a large shallow embayment with a weak connection to the Gulf of Mexico that experiences a strong southeast wind and sea breeze during the summer. The wind induces even and odd forced harmonics through the combined quasi-steady southeast wind and sea breeze. At Baffin Bay, ratios of the semidiurnal to diurnal amplitudes of water level and current speed are found to be comparable to M4/M2 ratios for U.S. Atlantic coast embayments.

The inductors are designed for on-chip or in-package integration with high-frequency power converter circuits to enable chip-scale power management in size-constrained applications. A process for realizing the inductors through multilevel, three-dimensional molding of electroplated copper structures has been enhanced with capabilities for four independent copper layers in thicknesses of up to 30 \mum each. The impact of increasing the thickness of the stacked copper traces is specifically explored and compared to similar inductors with 10-\mum-thick stacked windings. Impedance characterization revealed a drastic decrease in the series resistance in the thicker inductors as desired but also revealed undesired eddy current and magnetic coupling effects.

The data were collected during the March 2006 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Arctic field campaign utilizing the NASA P-3B aircraft. The campaign consisted of an initial series of coordinated surface and aircraft measurements over Elson Lagoon, Alaska and adjacent seas followed by a series of large-scale (100 km \times 50 km) coordinated aircraft and AMSR-E snow depth measurements over portions of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. This paper focuses on the latter part of the campaign. The P-3B aircraft carried the University of Colorado Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR-A), the NASA Wallops Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) lidar altimeter, and the University of Kansas Delay-Doppler (D2P) radar altimeter. The PSR-A was used as an AMSR-E simulator, whereas the ATM and D2P altimeters were used in combination to provide an independent estimate of snow depth. Results of a comparison between the altimeter-derived snow depths and the equivalent AMSR-E snow depths using PSR-A brightness temperatures calibrated relative to AMSR-E are presented. Data collected over a frozen coastal polynya were used to intercalibrate the ATM and D2P altimeters before estimating an altimeter snow depth. Results show that the mean difference between the PSR and altimeter snow depths is -2.4 cm (PSR minus altimeter) with a standard deviation of 7.7 cm. The RMS difference is 8.0 cm. The overall correlation between the two snow depth data sets is 0.59.

We describe a new technique designed to process radar echograms from the University of Kansas snow radar to estimate snow depth. We combine IceBridge laser altimetry with radar-derived snow depths to determine sea ice thickness. Results are validated through comparison with direct measurements of snow and ice thickness collected in situ at the Danish GreenArc 2009 sea ice camp located on fast ice north of Greenland. The IceBridge instrument suite provides accurate measurements of snow and ice thickness, particularly over level ice. Mean IceBridge snow and ice thickness agree with in situ measurements to within ~ 0.01 and ~ 0.05 m, respectively, while modal snow and ice thickness estimates agree to within 0.02 and 0.10 m, respectively. IceBridge snow depths were correlated with in situ measurements (R = 0.7, for an averaging length of 55 m). The uncertainty associated with the derived IceBridge sea ice thickness estimates is 0.40 m. The results demonstrate the retrieval of both first-year and multiyear ice thickness from IceBridge data. The airborne data were however compromised in heavily ridged ice where snow depth, and hence ice thickness, could not be measured. Techniques developed as part of this study will be used for routine processing of IceBridge retrievals over Arctic sea ice. The limitations of the GreenArc study are discussed, and recommendations for future validation of airborne measurements via field activities are provided.

Our objective is to explore characteristics of the response and assess the fidelity of our model. The EMG system consists of a static transmitter and a man-portable sensor, which uses a pair of receivers that yield a gradiometric measurement. Experimental results were collected over a range of wire depths from 3.4 to 8.5 m. A number of different transmitter positions were explored, and the tests studied were conducted at 200 kHz. Modeling results were consistent with the experimental results and supported a number of key findings. Results are presented showing that, in order to maximize the strength of the wire response, the transmitter should be positioned approximately 5 m off the wire axis. Furthermore, in order to avoid unwanted transmitter influence on the response, the EMG should be at least 30 m from the transmitter. Using the experimental and modeling results, we found a linear relationship between the width of the magnitude response peak and the wire depth. Based on our experimental results, the EMG is able to yield a discernible target response at a depth of at least 7 m. Lastly, an example of how the model can be used to optimize survey planning is presented. This paper illustrates how an EMG can be used to locate underground wires with applications ranging from underground utility mapping to the detection of shallow subsurface tunnels.

The multilayer LCP process allows a low-cost and lightweight circuit that can easily be integrated with other radio frequency front-end components, such as an antenna, at the packaging level. By routing lines onto embedded multilayers, a 22.5% reduction in area is achieved. In addition, low-loss piezoelectric SP4T switches with a 7 V actuation voltage are used to switch between different phase delays. The phase shifter exhibits a loss of 0.75 dB/bit with 2.25^\circ average phase error at 10 GHz.

One of the key features of the MTM-inspired antennas is their ability to motivate electrically small antenna designs through planar and volumetric loadings of space with resonant parasitic capacitive and inductive structures. In a previous work, we developed the magnetic EZ antenna as a resonant antenna that operates below ka = 0.5. In this paper, we adapt the magnetic EZ antenna concept for use with high-power mesoband quarter-wave oscillator microwave sources that can operate with hundreds of megawatts of peak power and charge voltages in excess of 100 kV in the ultrahigh frequency (500–650 MHz) and demonstrate their performance with charge voltages up to 10 kV. The principal challenges that were overcome in this effort include field management to prevent undesired breakdown and capacitive isolation to decouple the EZ antenna from the source during the charge phase. Antenna design, modeling, and experimental verification are presented here, demonstrating an operating EZ antenna/source system at 510 MHz with antenna ka = 0.436. The results demonstrate that the EZ antenna is a viable antenna to consider when traditional high-power microwave antennas are too large to be integrated into a given platform.

Simulations performed in Maxwell 3-D and E-Physics showed that Joule heating from current diffusing into the rails accounts for most of the temperature rise in the conductors. Temporal skin effects increase thermal dissipation significantly over what would be expected by the ohmic losses under fully diffused conditions. Based on this analysis, Joule heating is the overwhelmingly dominant source of heating in low-speed tests. As the velocity of the armature increases, Joule heating remains the dominant source of heat; however, additional mechanisms—which may include frictional heating, arcing energy, aluminum deposition, and temperature-dependent properties—are required to more satisfactorily explain the temperature profile obtained.

This report addresses that need by reviewing the effectiveness of vibrotactile cues in a meta-analysis of 45 studies. When added to a baseline task or to existing visual cues, vibrotactile cues enhanced task performance. When vibrotactile cues replaced visual cues; however, some effects were attenuated and others moderated by cue information complexity. To summarize such moderating effects, vibrotactile alerts are an effective replacement for visual alerts, but vibrotactile direction cues are not effective when replacing visual direction cues. This meta-analysis of vibrotactile applications underscores the benefits of vibrotactile and multimodal displays, highlights conditions in which vibrotactile cues are particularly effective, and identifies areas in need of further investigation.

The three-level dc-dc converter and its varied derivatives are attractive topologies in high-voltage high-power converter applications. The protection method can not only prevent the system failure against unbalanced voltage stresses on the switches, but also provide a remedy for the system as faults occur and save the remaining components. The three-level converter is subject to voltage unbalance in certain abnormal conditions, which can result in switch overvoltage and system failure. The reasons for the unbalanced voltage stresses are fully investigated and categorized. The solutions to each abnormal condition are introduced. In addition to the voltage unbalance, the three-level converters can be protected against multiple faults by the proposed protection method through monitoring the flying capacitor voltage. Phenomena associated with each fault are thoroughly analyzed and summarized. The protection circuit is simple and can be easily implemented, while it can effectively protect the three-level converters and its derivatives, which has been verified by the experiment with a three-level parallel resonant converter.

By using large time-bandwidth products and systematically varying the phase scaling factor $\kappa$, results from the digital matched filter output provide evidence that the LFM noise waveform 1) has range-Doppler resolution similar to conventional chirp waveforms and 2) has a low probability of intercept (LPI) similar to random noise waveforms. We acquire the results using a computer-based simulation and verify the location of target peaks using the chirp waveform output for both stationary and moving target cases.

The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during a wave event is an important parameter in determining erosion and transport for both experimental and model simulation applications. Sandia National Laboratories has developed a laboratory and field device called the sediment erosion actuated by wave oscillations and linear flow (SEAWOLF) flume in which high-resolution, particle-image velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to investigate turbulent flow shear stresses for a variety of flow conditions. The results of the PIV analysis for a wave cycle demonstrate a fully developed turbulent flow, relaminarization, and an explosive transition back to turbulence. In many cases, the results of the flume tests did not show good agreement with previously reported computational fluid dynamic results and existing theories, such as Blasius, for wave-current interactions, which raises the question of whether similar phenomena are present in real environments. These results implore more studies to be conducted with similarly high-resolution field measurements and modeling efforts to determine shear stress time history for oscillatory flows and the subsequent effects on erosion and sediment transport in wave-dominated environments.

It is shown that the presence of the structure produces infrequent increases in velocities in the GIWW, which can be mitigated by a proposed structure near Lake Pontchartrain.

Time series measurements of irregular and unsteady flow thickness and velocity were acquired at two locations on the landward-side, 1V : 3H slope. These measurements were used to calculate the time series of instantaneous shear stress representing the average over a 4.8-m-long (prototype scale) levee slope between the two measurement locations. Empirical relationships are presented for estimating the mean shear stresses for steady overflow and for combined wave and surge overtopping. For the latter case, additional formulas are given for estimating representative parameters of the irregular shear stress peaks associated with individual overtopping waves. The collected data were intended primarily for the design of rapidly deployable levee armoring systems; however, the data could also be used to evaluate the erosion of soil or vegetated levees and dikes.

The extended CSHORE is compared with five tests conducted in a wave basin with a recirculation system. The cross-shore variations of the longshore current and sediment-transport rate are predicted fairly well for the cases of no and favorable pressure gradients. The cases of adverse and time-varying pressure gradients are computed to extrapolate the experimental results for wider applications.

We hypothesized that the stimulus-response relationships of CVP and PP to hemodynamic responses during LBNP would mimic those observed during BL. We assessed CVP, PP, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and other hemodynamic markers in 12 men during LBNP and BL. Blood samples were obtained for analysis of catecholamines, hematocrit, hemoglobin, arginine vasopressin, and blood gases. LBNP consisted of 5-min stages at 0, 15, 30, and 45 mmHg of suction. BL consisted of 5 min at baseline and following three stages of 333 ml of hemorrhage (1,000 ml total). Individual r2 values and linear regression slopes were calculated to determine whether the stimulus (CVP and PP)-hemodynamic response trajectories were similar between protocols. The CVP-MAP trajectory was the only CVP-response slope that was statistically different during LBNP compared with BL (0.93 ± 0.27 vs. 0.13 ± 0.26; P = 0.037). The PP-heart rate trajectory was the only PP-response slope that was statistically different during LBNP compared with BL (-1.85 ± 0.45 vs. -0.46 ± 0.27; P = 0.024). Norepinephrine, hematocrit, and hemoglobin were all lower at termination in the BL protocol compared with LBNP (P < 0.05). Consistent with our hypothesis, LBNP mimics the hemodynamic stimulus-response trajectories observed during BL across a significant range of CVP in humans.

This paper reviews relevant theory and practice to describe ways in which public procurement shapes corporate social responsibility, and it builds upon theory to develop testable propositions to describe these influences. Using the case of U.S. defense procurement, statistical analysis indicates a significant relationship between the extent to which firms engage in defense procurement and the corporate social responsibility orientations of their managers. The findings have application both for social responsibility theory and for public procurement policy and practice.

Transcriptome analyses showed changes in mRNA levels for 1796 genes in juveniles and 1214 genes in adults (out of 15?000 total probes) exposed to two SSRIs (fluoxetine and fluvoxamine) or to 4-nonylphenol. Functional annotation of affected genes was improved by assuming the annotations of putatively homologous Drosophila genes. Self-organizing map analysis and partial least-square regression coupled with selectivity ratio procedures analyses allowed to define groups of genes with specific responses to the different treatments. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed for functional enrichment using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Serotonin metabolism, neuronal developmental processes, and carbohydrates and lipid metabolism functional categories appeared as selectively affected by SSRI treatment, whereas 4-nonylphenol deregulated genes from the carbohydrate metabolism and the ecdysone regulatory pathway. These changes in functional and metabolic pathways are consistent with previously reported SSRIs and 4-nonylphenol hormetic effects in D. magna, including a decrease in reserve carbohydrates and an increase in respiratory metabolism.

Here, we examined the potential mechanisms underlying the hormetic response of Daphnia magna to the energetic trinitrotoluene (TNT). Daphnia magna were exposed to TNT for 21 days, and a significant increase in adult length and number of neonates was identified at low concentrations (0.002–0.22 mg/L TNT), while toxic effects were identified at high concentrations (0.97 mg/L TNT and above). Microarray analysis of D. magna exposed to 0.004, 0.12, and 1.85 mg/L TNT identified effects on lipid metabolism as a potential mechanism underlying hormetic effects. Lipidomic analysis of exposed D. magna supported the hypothesis that TNT exposure affected lipid and fatty acid metabolism, showing that hormetic effects could be related to changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids known to be involved in Daphnia growth and reproduction. Our results show that Daphnia exposed to low levels of TNT presented hormetic growth and reproduction enhancement, while higher TNT concentrations had an opposite effect. Our results also show how a systems approach can help elucidate potential mechanisms of action and adverse outcomes.

AB - Purpose: To examine relationships between changes in body weight, body composition, and fitness level in male students of the general population and those in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program during the freshman year of college. Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

AB - The flavonoid quercetin is purported to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors.

Suicide-related ideation, which is associated with suicide attempts and suicide, can cause considerable distress. In a sample of 1,663 recently redeployed soldiers, we used factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test the associations between combat exposure, unit cohesion, and their interaction in predicting suicide-related ideation. We found that combat exposure was a significant risk factor for suicide-related ideation, while unit cohesion was a significant protective factor. The significant interaction between the two factors indicated that soldiers who experienced greater combat exposure but also had higher levels of unit cohesion had relatively lower levels of suicide-related ideation. In addition, those who had higher levels of combat exposure and lower unit cohesion were most at risk for suicide-related ideation. Our findings indicate the importance of unit cohesion in protecting soldiers from suicide-related ideation and suggest a higher risk group of soldiers who should be targeted for interventions.

METHODS: Fifty-four Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. RESULTS: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculoskeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (-11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (-10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.001), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO2 peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = -0.45 to -0.28, p < or = 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p < or = 0.05). CONCLUSION: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources.

No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. METHODS: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant's ability to give care to trauma patients. RESULTS: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). DISCUSSION: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. CONCLUSION: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the baseline historical and physical examination factors associated with increased contracted LM muscle thickness one week after SMT. Eighty-one participants with LBP underwent a baseline physical examination and ultrasound imaging assessment of the LM muscle during submaximal contraction before and one week after SMT. The relationship between baseline examination variables and 1-week change in contracted LM thickness was assessed using correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple linear regression. Four variables best predicted the magnitude of increases in contracted LM muscle thickness after SMT. When combined, these variables suggest that patients with LBP, (1) that are fairly acute, (2) have at least a moderately good prognosis without focal and irritable symptoms, and (3) exhibit signs of spinal instability, may be the best candidates for a combined SMT and lumbar stabilization exercise (LSE) treatment approach.

OBJECTIVES: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. METHODS: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). RESULTS: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater.

We manipulated the level of assistance (LOAs) provided by RoboLeader as well as the presence of a visualisation tool that provided feedback to the participants on their primary task (target encapsulation) performance. Results showed that the participants’ primary task benefited from RoboLeader on all LOAs conditions compared to manual performance; however, visualisation had little effect. Frequent video gamers demonstrated significantly better situation awareness of the mission environment than did infrequent gamers. Those participants with higher spatial ability performed better on a secondary target detection task than did those with lower spatial ability. Finally, participants’ workload assessments were significantly lower when they were assisted by RoboLeader than when they performed the target entrapment task manually. Practitioner Summary: This study demonstrated the utility of an intelligent agent for enhancing robotics operators’ supervisory control performance as well as reducing their workload during a complex urban scenario involving moving targets. The results furthered the understanding of the interplay among level-of-autonomy, multitasking performance and individual differences in military tasking environments.

Although bronchoscopy is the standard for diagnosis, it only assesses the proximal airway and does not provide a comprehensive analysis of pulmonary insult. Chest radiographs have not been proven helpful in diagnosis of inhalation injury. Our hypothesis is that a CT scan alone or in conjunction with bronchoscopy can be used as a prognostic tool for critically ill burn patients, especially those with inhalation injury. The authors performed a retrospective study of all patients admitted to the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center between 2002 and 2008 with chest CT within 24 hours of admission. They divided subjects into two groups, those with evidence of inhalation injury on bronchoscopy and those without. They used a radiologist's score to assess the degree of damage to the pulmonary parenchyma. The primary endpoint was a composite of pneumonia, acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, and death. The inhalation injury group consisted of 25 patients and the noninhalation injury group of 19 patients. Groups were not different in age, TBSA burned, and percentage full-thickness burn. By multiple logistic regression, detection of inhalation injury on bronchoscopy was associated with an 8.3-fold increase in the composite endpoint. The combination of inhalation injury on bronchoscopy and a high radiologist's score was associated with a 12.7-fold increase in the incidence of the composite endpoint. Admission CT assists in predicting future lung dysfunction in burn patients. SN - 1559-047X AD - From the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. U2 - PMID: 22210063.

AB - The purpose of this study was to compare the magnitude of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. A secondary purpose was to compare the consistency of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. Vector-coding methods were used to quantify coupling in the sagittal and transverse planes of the knee between full extension and 20 degrees of flexion as 10 males and 10 females walked, ascended and descended stairs, and performed a passive pendulum leg drop. An ANOVA showed no main effect of gender. There was a main effect of task, where coupling during the stance phase of walking was significantly greater than each of the other tasks. Intraclass correlation values suggested that males were slightly more consistent than females. A general lack of divergence between genders may be related to the tasks analyzed in this study. It is possible that more strenuous tasks may elicit larger differences.

The authors' aim was to examine the association of life expectancy and mortality from selected diseases with altitude. Methods The authors used data from the National Elevation Dataset, National Center for Heath Statistics and US Census. The authors analysed the crude association of mean county altitude with life expectancy and mortality from ischaemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cancers, and adjusted the associations for sociodemographic factors, migration, average annual solar radiation and cumulative exposure to smoking in multivariable regressions. Results Counties above 1500 m had longer life expectancies than those within 100 m of sea level by 1.2-3.6 years for men and 0.5-2.5 years for women. The association between altitude and life expectancy became non-significant for women and non-significant or negative for men in multivariate analysis. After adjustment, altitude had a beneficial association with IHD mortality and harmful association with COPD, with a dose-response relationship. IHD mortality above 1000 m was 4-14 per 10 000 people lower than within 100 m of sea level; COPD mortality was higher by 3-4 per 10 000. The adjusted associations for stroke and cancers were not statistically significant. Conclusions Living at higher altitude may have a protective effect on IHD and a harmful effect on COPD. At least in part due to these two opposing effects, living at higher altitude appears to have no net effect on life expectancy.

It was our aim to determine whether neurologic findings reflected by Glasgow Coma Scale at initial resuscitation can predict hemocoagulative disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury that may aggravate clinical sequelae and outcome in children.DESIGN:A retrospective analysis of 200 datasets from children with blunt, isolated traumatic brain injury documented in the Trauma Registry of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie was conducted. Inclusion criteria were primary admission, age <14 yrs, and sustained isolated blunt traumatic brain injury.SETTING:Trauma Registry of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie-affiliated trauma centers in Germany.PATIENTS:Two hundred datasets of children (age <14 yrs) with blunt isolated traumatic brain injury were analyzed: children were subdivided into two groups according to Glasgow Coma Scale at the scene (Glasgow Coma Scale 8) and reviewed for coagulation abnormalities upon emergency room admission and outcome.MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS:Fifty-one percent (n = 102 of 200) of children had Glasgow Coma Scale >8 and 49% (n = 98 of 200) had Glasgow Coma Scale 8: 44% (n = 31 of 71) vs. 14% (n = 11 of 79) (p < .001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that Glasgow Coma Scale 30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements. A reading test should be included in all routine exams as a functional assessment of the integration of oculomotor functions.

AB - RATIONALE: Cytokines are central mediators of the immune-inflammatory response to injury and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Although previous studies evaluated cytokine levels after trauma, differences between patients with burn and non-burn trauma have not been assessed systematically. METHODS: A prospective database of trauma patients admitted between May 2004 and September 2007 to the burn or surgical intensive care units within 24h of injury with an anticipated stay of at least 72h was analyzed. Sequential clinical and laboratory parameters were collected in the first week, including multiplex analysis data for plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, and IL-8). Patients with known pre-injury coagulopathy were excluded. A Marshall score of 10 or greater was defined as MODS. RESULTS: A total of 179 patients were enrolled (67 burn and 112 non-burn). Plasma IL-6 and IL-8 levels were markedly elevated in both burn and non-burn patients compared to healthy volunteers. Burn subjects had higher levels of IL-6 and IL-8 than the non-burn on days 1 through 7 after injury. Subjects with burns and at least 30% total body surface area were older and had a lower injury severity score, a higher prevalence of MODS, and correspondingly higher mortality. Multivariate analysis of injury type, MODS, and time did not demonstrate an influence of MODS. CONCLUSIONS: Burns were associated with a greater and more sustained immune-inflammatory response than non-burn trauma as evidenced by elevated plasma IL-6 and IL-8 levels during the first week. There was no association between MODS and plasma cytokine levels. SN - 0305-4179 AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234, USA. U2 - PMID: 22103986.

This approach adds significant challenges to patients in intensive care by limiting access to the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube and vascular access. PP also significantly complicates burn care by making skin protection and wound care more difficult. We hypothesize that PP improves oxygenation and can be performed safely in burn patients with ARDS. METHODS: PP was implemented in a burn intensive care unit for 18 patients with severe refractory ARDS. The characteristics of these patients were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the impact of PP on Pao2:FiO2 ratio (PFR) during the first 48 hours of therapy. Each patient was considered his or her own control before initiation of PP, and trends in PFR were evaluated with one-way analysis of variance. Secondary measures of complications and mortality were also evaluated. RESULTS: Mean PFR before PP was 87 (±38) with a mean sequential organ failure assessment score of 11 (±4). PFR improved during 48 hours in 12 of 14 survivors (p < 0.05). Mean PFR was 133 (±77) immediately after PP, 165 (±118) at 6 hours, 170 (±115) at 12 hours, 214 (±126) at 24 hours, 236 (±137) at 36 hours, and 210 (±97) at 48 hours. At each measured time interval except the last, PFR significantly improved. There were no unintended extubations. Facial pressure ulcers developed in four patients (22%). Overall, 14 survived 48 hours (78%), 12 survived 28 days (67%), and six survived to hospital discharge (33%). CONCLUSIONS: PP improves oxygenation in burn patients with severe ARDS and was safely implemented in a burn intensive care unit. Mortality in this population remains high, warranting investigation into additional complementary rescue therapies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level IV.

The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-bytime interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant.

There are little data regarding both the incidence and association of early coagulopathy and shock on outcomes in pediatric patients with traumatic injuries. Our objective was to determine whether coagulopathy and shock on admission are independently associated with mortality in children with traumatic injuries. METHODS: : A retrospective review of the Joint Theater Trauma Registry from U.S. combat support hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002 to 2009 was performed. Coagulopathy was defined as an international normalized ratio of >=1.5 and shock as a base deficit of >=6. Laboratory values were measured on admission. Primary outcome was inhospital mortality. Univariate analyses were performed on all admission variables followed by reverse stepwise multivariate logistic regression to determine independent associations. SETTING: : Combat support hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan. PATIENTS: : Patients <18 yrs of age with Injury Severity Score, international normalized ratio, base deficit, and inhospital mortality were included. Of 1998 in the cohort, 744 (37%) had a complete set of data for analysis. INTERVENTION: : None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: : The incidence of early coagulopathy and shock were 27% and 38.3% and associated with mortality of 22% and 16.8%, respectively. After multivariate logistic regression, early coagulopathy had an odds ratio of 2.2 (95% confidence interval 1.1-4.5) and early shock had an odds ratio of 3.0 (95% confidence interval 1.2-7.5) for mortality. Patients with coagulopathy and shock had an odds ratio of 3.8 (95% confidence interval 2.0-7.4) for mortality. CONCLUSIONS: : In children with traumatic injuries treated at combat support hospitals, coagulopathy and shock on admission are common and independently associated with a high incidence of inhospital mortality. Future studies are needed to determine whether more rapid and accurate methods of measuring coagulopathy and shock as well as if early goal-directed treatment of these states can improve outcomes in children.

AB - Objective: A military multitasking environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent agent, RoboLeader, on the performance of robotics operators.Background: The participants' task was to manage a team of ground robots with the assistance of RoboLeader, an intelligent agent capable of coordinating the robots and changing their routes on the basis of battlefield developments.Method: In the first experiment, RoboLeader was perfectly reliable; in the second experiment, RoboLeader's recommendations were manipulated to be either false-alarm prone or miss prone, with a reliability level of either 60% or 90%. The visual density of the targeting environment was manipulated by the presence or absence of friendly soldiers.Results: RoboLeader, when perfectly reliable, was helpful in reducing the overall mission times.The type of RoboLeader imperfection (false-alarm vs. miss prone) affected operators' performance of tasks involving visual scanning (target detection, route editing, and situation awareness). There was a consistent effect of visual density (clutter of the visual scene) for multiple performance measures. Participants' attentional control and video gaming experience affected their overall multitasking performance. In both experiments, participants with greater spatial ability consistently outperformed their low-spatial-ability counterparts in tasks that required effective visual scanning.Conclusion: Intelligent agents, such as RoboLeader, can benefit the overall human-robot teaming performance. However, the effects of type of agent unreliability, tasking requirements, and individual differences have complex effects on human-agent interaction.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of robots in military settings and will provide useful data to designs of systems for multirobot control.

AB - Introduction: The coupling and timing of pro- and anti-inflammatory processes in skeletal muscle injury is poorly understood. We investigated the temporal response and regulated processes of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), p38, and IkappaB kinase (IKK) [alpha]/[beta] signaling pathways after traumatic injury. Methods: Traumatic freeze injury was delivered to the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle in C57BL/6J mice, and injured and uninjured TA muscles were analyzed 3-72 h into the recovery period. Results: Significant increases in pro-inflammatory cytokine transcription accompanied IKK[beta] phosphorylation, robust ERK pathway activation, and reduced heat shock protein (Hsp) protein expression at 3-24 h. At 24 h, ERK activation was abolished concomitantly with a significant increase in mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1). After 24 h, cytokine transcription along with ERK1/2 and IKK[beta] phosphorylation remained suppressed, whereas Hsp protein expression rose to significant levels by 72 h and associated with IKK[beta]. Conclusions: Results indicate a bimodal regulation of ERK1/2 in acute inflammation in which it is supportive from 3 to 24 h, and suppressive from 24 to 72 h. Muscle Nerve, 2012.

Objectives: To examine reliability of the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), evaluate the effects of arm dominance on UQYBT performance, and to determine how the UQYBT is related to specific components of the test (trunk rotation, core stability and UE function and performance) in a college-aged population.Methods: A sample of healthy college students performed the UQYBT and a series of 6 additional dynamic tests designed to assess trunk rotation, core stability, and UE performance. The relationship of these tests compared to the UQYBT was assessed. The effect of upper limb dominance for the UQYBT was also explored. Finally, test re-test reliability was established for the UQYBT. Results: Thirty subjects (24 males, 6 females, mean ages 19.5 ± 1.2 and 18.8 ± 0.8 years) were assessed during the study. The test re-test reliability was excellent for UQYBT measurements (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9). A significant (p <0.05) fair to moderate association was observed between the UQYBT and several core stability and UE functional tests. There was no significant difference in UQYBT performance between dominant and non-dominant limbs. Discussion: The UQYBT is a reliable UE CKC test that can be used to assess unilateral UE function in a closed chain manner. The UQYBT appears to be most related to dynamic tests involving core stability and UE performance. Similarity on the UQYBT between dominant and non-dominant limbs indicates that performance on this test using a noninjured UE may serve as a reasonable measure for "normal" when testing an injured UE. Future research is needed to determine the clinical applicability of the UQYBT.

This article summarizes the findings of the epidemiologic consultation report as provided to the Secretary of the Army and the Fort Carson Senior Mission Commander and released in its entirety publicly July 2009 and elaborates on the mixed-methods analytic approach used to study a complex behavioral issue at the community level. To aid in answering the key study questions, six study arms were designed and carried out: (1) index case analysis, (2) confinee interviews, (3) analysis of installation-level trends, (4) retrospective cohort analysis, (5) soldier focus groups and interviews, and (6) aggression risk factors survey. Although not conclusive, the findings suggest a combination of individual, unit, and environmental factors converged to increase the risk of violent behaviors, which made clustering of negative outcomes more likely.

This innovative structure consists of four sloped granite blocks spaced across the Lamoille River upstream of the village and adjacent to a treed floodplain. It arrests ice runs, forms partially grounded jams, and retains these jams for hours to days. The measured ice-hydraulic characteristics of the breakup runs and resulting ice jams (e.g., wave celerities and amplitudes, porous-flow seepage coefficients) are similar to characteristics obtained from the 1:10-scale model tests used to develop the structure. Seepage coefficients, and hence jam porosities, generally increase with increasing discharge, and only two breakup events have caused floodplain flow. Water temperatures of 0.1–0.3°C measured during a breakup event confirm that ice melting can account for the rate of porosity increase. Field and model data indicate that ice-jam holding time and jam-release discharge increase with increasing ice-piece thickness to a threshold of 6–7% of ICS gap width, beyond which no releases occur. Consistency between prototype and model ice-hydraulic characteristics and ice-holding capacity reinforce the conclusion that the sloped-block ICS can reliably retain ice jams during breakup events that pose the greatest flood threat: thick, strong ice, and large breakup waves. This ice-retention behavior can account for the observed reduction in ice-jam flooding in Hardwick during the past 11 seasons.

The essays that grew out of that discussion are presented in this issue of JME. I argue that combatants on any side of a conflict are moral equals. Two fundamental perspectives inform my argument, the first having to do with social contract theory and the second having to do with the ignorance of combatants with respect to the justice of their nations' wars. Individuals give over to the sovereign their right to use force: they may not seek vengeance in the domestic arena nor are they permitted to wage private wars. As such, it seems inconsistent to demand that the soldier relinquish to the state the authority and responsibility to use violence, and at the same time to condemn her for doing so. It also seems extraordinarily unreasonable to expect combatants really to know, in the relevant sense, the justice of the war. If, as is the case with the current war in Iraq, the so-called cognoscenti disagree about the morality of the war, then it would be almost indecent to suggest that combatants could have the sort of knowledge that would render them morally culpable.

T1 - The Tragedy of War: Clausewitz on Morality and the Use of Force. JO - Defence Studies JF - Defence Studies J1 - Defence Studies PY - 2007/07// Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 208 EP - 238 PB - Routledge SN - 14702436 AB - Nielsen's article asks the simple, but profound question: what should government leaders think about as they decide whether or not to go to war? Typically our response to this question draws upon some aspect of Clausewitz. This is hardly surprising given that he is one of the foremost military theorists of all time, and is famous for stating that "war is merely the continuation of politics by other means." One could easily derive from this statement the idea that war is a tool of policy just like any other. However, Nielsen takes issue with this orthodox and amoral view and argues that this interpretation of Clausewitz is misleading and incomplete. Though Clausewitz asserts that war is an instrument of policy, he also sees warfare as a unique form of human interaction. Clausewitz recognized that the cost of war to individuals, communities and societies could be horrendous. Political and military leaders should not deceive themselves, but should recognize that war is a brutal and bloody activity. Only with a full appreciation of the costs and risks would leaders take an approach likely to maximize benefits and minimize the perils of a military undertaking. This article explores Clausewitz's perspective on the moral issues that war inevitably raises by addressing two main questions. First, what views does Clausewitz express on the role of ethical considerations in war? Second, should the statesman's actions in international politics be guided by morality? Whilst it is recognised that Clausewitz does prioritize state interests over moral considerations, he would be the first to remind political leaders of war's uncertainty and inevitable costs. In addition, Clausewitz's approach leaves open the possibility that state interests can vary over time in ways that expand opportunities for moral action beyond those he saw in his time.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the detection, localization, and response time to an M-16 rifle magazine insertion click in three background conditions: jungle, pink, and ambient noise. The level of the click varied from -18 to 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Reported results indicate that detection rates of 50, 70, and 100% required SNRs of –6 to –12, –3, and 0 dB, respectively. Localization accuracy of 50 and 80% within a ±15° angle required SNRs of about –6 and 0 dB, respectively; 100% accuracy was never achieved. Response time was about 2.0—2.5 s for high SNRs but increased gradually at poorer SNRs. The military relevance of the reported findings is discussed.

Performance measurements included latency to detect a target, number of correct target detections, correct friend versus foe identification, targets hit, and latency to respond to the presentation of a continuous tone (secondary task). Activity monitors measured motor activity during study participation. During higher work rate sessions, participants responded to the appearance of a target more quickly, discriminated friend from foe more accurately, and hit more foe targets. The addition of a simple auditory task to the primary task did not affect performance on any of the sentry duty measures. These findings demonstrated that moderate increases in task engagement, or work rate, improved most performance metrics on a long duration (3-hr), militarily relevant vigilance task.

Factor analytic research of performance dimensions supports the concept that interpersonal task performance is a unique dimension of performance (e.g., Distefano & Pryer, 1986; Pulakos, Borman, & Hough, 1988). Latent models of job performance, however, have not necessarily separated the technical dimension of task performance from an interpersonal dimension of task performance (e.g. Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, & Sager, 1993). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare the fit of the Campbell et al. (1993) model with a modified model that also included an interpersonal task performance dimension. Results demonstrated that inclusion of a unique latent dimension for interpersonal task performance improved the fit of the model to data from a job with a high requirement for interpersonal performance. The implications of these results for understanding and summarizing performance are discussed.

To develop models, 32 physically trained men (mean ± SD: 28.0 ± 4.7 years, 82.1 ± 11.3 kg, 176.3 ± 7.5 cm) underwent ( 1 ) anthropometric measures: height and body mass; (2) fitness tests: push-ups, sit-ups, 3.2-km run, vertical, jump, horizontal jump; (3) simulated battlefield physical performance in fighting load: five 30-m sprints prone to prone, 400-m run, obstacle course, and casualty recovery. Although greater body mass was positively associated with better casualty recovery performance, it showed trends toward poorer performance on all the other fitness and military performance tests. Regression equations well predicted the simulated battlefield performance from the anthropometric measures and physical fitness tests (r = 0.77-0.82). The vertical jump entered all four prediction equations and the horizontal jump entered one of them. The equations, using input from easy to administer tests, effectively predict simulated battlefield physical performance.

As part of a NATO Research Panel (Human Factors and Medicine (HFM)-081/Research and Technology Organization Task Group (RTG), 16 nations participated in a needs assessment survey of military leaders who had returned from an operation within the previous 2 years. Findings from 172 leaders emphasized the lack of training specifically geared for leaders to address operational stress issues for trait members and their families and the need for integrated mental health support across the deployment cycle. In general, most leaders regarded stress-related mental health problems as normal and were supportive of help-seeking. The information obtained here was used to develop a Human Factors and Medicine -081/RTG Leader's Guide on operational stress.

Serum specimens were tested for HAV antibody by a commercial enzyme immunoassay method. Anti-HAV was detected in 14.0%, 17.5%, and 15.3% of medical cadets, nursing students, and the total cohort, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in seroprevalence between medical cadets and nursing students. Increasing prevalence of HAV correlated with increasing age. Significantly higher seroprevalence was detected in students from provinces outside of Bangkok compared to those who were from Bangkok (18.7% vs. 9.8%). The highest HAV seroprevalence was observed in subjects from the northeastern region of Thailand, suggesting that this region may be associated with greater risk for infection and should be the focus of preventive health strategies.

Respondents completed 658,443 surveys during 17 fiscal quarters, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2000. The final data set contained 309,261 surveys, with no missing data. Principal component factor analysis was used for data reduction and hierarchical multiple linear regression to assess the predictive effects of the dependent variables on the two independent variables: (1) overall satisfaction with today's visit and (2) overall satisfaction with the clinic. On a 7-point, bipolar adjective rating scale, patients' mean score was 6.53 regarding satisfaction with visit, suggesting that patients are highly satisfied. Patients' beliefs about care received and environment of care were the most important satisfaction attributes. These findings are useful in educating providers about the relationship of consumer satisfaction with the interpersonal experience.

We reviewed publications on AARD in non-U.S, military, immunocompetent, young adults in group-living settings. Since adenovirus disease can be severe in immunocompromised and pediatric patients, we also considered AARD in health care workers. We evaluated 83 publications, published between 1950 and 2005, concerning 22 countries. Most described outbreaks in foreign military recruits and were published before 1970. More recent reports documented outbreaks in student dormitories and medical facilities. The 83 reports did not provide evidence for AARD being a serious, persistent, contemporary concern in the populations studied, nor did they identify strong interest in adenovirus vaccines. Currently availability, sensitive, molecular diagnostic tests may better define the importance of AARD in populations outside the U.S. military.

The entire population at the U.S. Army Field Artillery Training Center, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, participated in the 13-week prospective cohort study between January 18, 2005 and April 18, 2005. Two training battalions were randomly assigned to the control group, one to the primary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen, education, reinforcement) and one to the secondary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen). When compared to the control group, intervention groups experienced 40% less respiratory illness (p < 0.001), 48% less gastrointestinal illness (p < 0.02), 44% less lost training time (p < 0.001), and 31% fewer health care encounters (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that this intervention is capable of significantly reducing illness in this setting and has the potential to help reduce absenteeism in the military workforce as a whole.

Acinetobacter baumannii cells were inoculated (105 or 10³ cells) on small coupons and dried overnight in a class II biosafety cabinet. Drying resulted in ≤50% loss of viability. The UVC fluence of 90 J/m² was observed to be very effective in the decontamination of cells from all metal coupon surfaces (complete killing). However, the same fluence was ineffective in the decontamination of scrubs. The effectiveness of two other common disinfection practices, that is, 15 minutes of boiling or spraying with 70% ethanol, was investigated for the scrubs. Although ethanol treatment was ineffective, the boiling treatment was very effective (complete killing). These results establish that metal surfaces can be decontaminated with UVC irradiation and boiling treatment is effective for scrub decontamination.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2007/11// Y1 - 2007/11// VL - 172 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1148 EP - 1153 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: The U.S. Army 28th Combat Support Hospital (CSH), an echelon III facility, deployed to Iraq at the start of military operations in 2003. Shortly after arrival, it was designated as the hospital primarily responsible for burn care for the U.S. military in Iraq. This report reviews the experience of the CSH with burn care during combat operations. Methods: An after-action review was conducted during a 2-day period after the hospital's redeployment. Results: Between April 11, 2003, and August 21, 2003, the 28th CSH treated a total of 7,920 patients, of whom 103 (1.3%) had burns. Patients included U.S. and allied service members, U.S. contractors, and Iraqi prisoners of war and civilians. Although a CSH is designed to care for patients until they can be stabilized and evacuated, usually within 1 to 3 days, the length of stay for some Iraqi patients was as long as 53 days. Definitive care, including excision and grafting of the burn wound, was thus required for some Iraqi patients. The largest graft completed comprised 40% of the total body surface area. The largest burn survived involved ~65% of the total body surface area. Eighteen (17%) of 103 patients returned to duty after treatment at the 28th CSH. The mortality rate for burn patients at the 28th CSH was 8%. Shortages of burn-experienced personnel and burn-specific supplies were identified during the after-action review. Conclusions: The CSH provided complex definitive care to burn patients in an austere environment. Predeployment identification of military field hospitals for such specialized missions, with early assignment of experienced personnel and materiel to these units, may improve future wartime burn care.

Since 2005, the Medical Situational Awareness in the Theater Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration has exploited advances in information technology, geographic information systems, and open systems architecture to produce a functioning prototype of a medical situational enhancement capability. In May 2006, this prototype supported the medical staff of a combined/joint task force in a realistic command postexercise featuring a simulated outbreak of influenza during Exercise COBRA GOLD in Thailand. The proliferation and maturation of geographic information systems present many opportunities for the military medical community to improve the health of the populations for which it is responsible.

Methods: Recruit suicides were identified through the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. We calculated crude, category-specific, and age-adjusted mortality rates as deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Results: There were 46 onsite suicides by gunshot (39%), hanging (35%), fall/jump (22%), and drug overdose (4%). An additional 20 recruits committed suicide from 1980 through 2004 after leaving the military training site. Methods included gunshot (70%), hanging (20%), fall/jump (5%), and poisoning (5%). Therefore, the overall recruit suicide rate was 6.9 (95% confidence interval = 5.4-8.8) deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Only three (5%) suicides occurred among females resulting in a 3.5 times higher risk for males compared to females (95% confidence interval = 1.1-11.2). Conclusions: Suicide rates among military recruits were lower than those of comparably aged U.S. civilians. However, the occurrence of any suicide during basic military training emphasizes the importance of routine evaluation of the effectiveness of each military service's suicide prevention program as it applies to this population.

Medical records of 518 male and 43 female Army mechanics were screened for injuries during 1 year at a large U.S. Army installation. Weight, height, age, and ethnicity were also extracted from the medical records. Body mass index was calculated as weight/height². Overall injury rates for men and women were 124 and 156 injuries/100 person-years, respectively, with a rate of 127 injuries/100 person-years for all soldiers combined. Women had higher overuse injury rates while men had higher traumatic injury rates. Limited duty days for men and women were 2,076 and 1,966 days/100 person-years, respectively. The lower back, knee, ankle, foot, and shoulder involved 61% of the injuries. Activities associated with injury included (in order of incidence) physical training, mechanical work, sports, airborne-related activities, road marching, garrison/home activities, and chronic conditions. Among the men, elevated injury risk was associated with higher body weight and higher body mass index. It may be possible to prevent many injuries by implementation of evidenced-based interventions currently available in the literature.

Findings revealed that needle chest decompression, Combitube insertion, and automatic external defibrillator were the only skills with low validity (content validity index ≤ 0.75). Splinting was recommended as an addition to the skill test. The validity criterion of a modified postcourse Emergency Medical Technician-Basic examination score was significantly related to the Semi-Annual Combat Medic Skills-Validation Test scores (r = 0.409, p = 0.006, two tailed). There was high intra- and inter-rater agreement on performance steps and skills. Higher subject scores were seen on the medical skills than on the trauma skills. When retested, there was significant improvement (t - 3.268, df = 7, p < 0.014, two tailed).

Since 2001, immunization with the hepatitis A vaccine has been recommended for civilian adolescents in higher risk areas. Recently, the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board recommended serologic screening where feasible to reduce redundant recruit immunizations. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine hepatitis A seroprevalence in recruit populations to inform screening policy. Methods: Banked serum from a sample of military recruits (n = 2,592) in 2004 was tested for total antibody to hepatitis A (anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV)). Results: The overall anti-HAV seroprevalence was 12.0% (95% confidence interval, 10.8%-13.3%). Adjusted to the age distribution of the 18- to 34-year-old population, the seroprevalence was 11,9% (10.5%-I3.4%). The lowest seroprevalence was noted in the 1984 birth cohort, with significantly higher seroprevalence among younger recruits. Conclusions: Rising hepatitis A immunity among successive birth cohorts suggests increasing compliance with immunization recommendations. In anticipation of rising population immunity, universal screening of military recruits for anti-HAV is recommended.

Investigators from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (Silver Spring, Maryland) met with scientists from government and academic institutes and industry to review the current global status of leishmaniasis and to explore the potential role of exoantigens In the detection of Leishmania in the vertebrate host and arthropod vector. Some encouraging data. particularly in the immunodiagnosis of leishmaniasis, were shared. The participants concluded that the meeting provided a unique opportunity for Investigators working on various aspects of the problem to network and to forge productive collaborations that could potentially lead to the development of more-effective tools to counter this persistent and expanding threat. They recommended periodic meetings to assess interval progress, to revise timelines, and to set achievable goals. The meeting also highlighted the importance of Leishmanin infection in the 21st century, with more movement of people from disease-endemic to non-disease-endemic countries. Increased incidence and geographic spread of leishmaniasis emphasize the need for better and more reliable detection methods. Exoantigen-based diagnostic devices hold promise in this direction.

Current Department of Defense doctrine and World Health Organization policy question the appropriateness of their use, because the majority of patients require nonsurgical care. We describe our experiences during the deployment of a mobile army surgical hospital in response to the October 8, 2005, earthquake in Pakistan. More than 20,000 patients received care during a 4-month period. An initially high surgical workload quickly decreased while the volume of primary care patients increased, eventually accounting for 90% of patient visits. Our experience supports deploying primary care-oriented units for humanitarian missions.

A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 182 physical therapists in the uniformed services completed a standardized examination that assesses knowledge in managing musculoskeletal conditions. Physical therapists in the uniformed services who graduated from the U.S. Army-Baylor Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy or had attended a specific continuing medical education course that emphasizes the management of musculoskeletal conditions achieved higher scores and passing rates than their colleagues who had not. Compared with previously published data, physical therapists in the uniformed services demonstrated higher scores than medical students, physician interns and residents, active duty military physicians, and all physician specialists except for orthopedists, Physical therapists in the uniformed services have the requisite knowledge to provide direct access for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. These data may have implications for health and public policy decisions within the military health care system related to the utilization and educational preparation of physical therapists in the uniformed services.

Quantitative data are reported for aerosols produced by kinetic energy penetrators containing tungsten, nickel, and cobalt. The following are addressed: (1) concentrations and rates of particle settling inside the vehicle, (2) particle size distribution, (3) inhalable and respirable particulates, (4) distribution of aerosol particles by mass, and (5) particle shapes. The scenario described in this report simulates a rare occurrence. The lessons learned, however, highlight a requirement for developing protocols for analyses of metals in body fluids and urine as soon as practical, and also for implementing targeted postdeployment medical surveillance programs that monitor both body burden for respired metals and pulmonary function.

This study compares International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, data and emergency room records from three hospitals to determine the accuracy of data in ESSENCE. Of 2,474 records reviewed, inter-reviewer variability illustrated excellent consistency, ranging from 0.87 to 1.0. Gastrointestinal disease had the highest overall sensitivity (89.0%) and specificity (96.0%), likely due to less overlap with other groups, unlike the respiratory (sensitivity, 65.7%; specificity, 95.6%) and fever (sensitivity, 69.4%: specificity, 95.5%) groups, where symptoms of both are often seen in the same patient. This study concludes that data used by ESSENCE is accurate and reflects the types of patient visits to these facilities: valuable information for public health decision makers.

The study site presented austere testing conditions. Held-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes spiked with inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and individual and pooled, field-collected, A. aegypti, A. albopictus, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes were used for RT-PCR assay evaluations. For dengue virus-inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and spiked samples, in vitro sensitivity and specificity results for all five assays were concordant with indirect fluorescent antibody assay results. A single pool of field-collected, female, A. aegypti mosquitoes was identified as dengue virus positive. Cross-reactivity was not observed across heterologous serotypes, mosquito vectors, or human DNA. The limit of detection was >7 to ≤70 genomic equivalents. Sample processing and analysis required <2 hours. These results show promise of field-formatted RT-PCR reagents fur rapid, sensitive, specific dengue virus screening and serotype identification in mosquitoes under field-deployed conditions.

This study determined the efficacy of three hypothermia prevention strategies: the ChillBuster warming blanket, ChillBuster with a reflective blanket, and two wool blankets. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare changes in core temperature. Following resuscitation from hypovolemic shock, 20 swine were assigned to one of the three interventions, placed in an environmental chamber set to reproduce in-flight conditions onboard a military cargo aircraft (50°F/airspeed 0.2 m/s), and monitored for 6 hours. A repeated measures analysis of variance and least-squared difference post hoc were performed. The ChillBuster/reflective blanket group was significantly warmer than the ChillBuster only group and the wool blanket group (p < 0.01). After 6 hours of cold exposure, the ChillBuster/reflective blanket group remained warm while the ChillBuster only and wool blanket groups developed mild hypothermia. Combined use of a warming blanket and reflective blanket was effective in preventing hypothermia over 6 hours and is feasible in a deployed military environment.

Because RSDL may need to he used to decontaminate wounded personnel, we conducted an assessment of the effect of this agent on wound healing. A skin incision model using male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 19 rats/group) was used. A 7.0-cm incision was made through the skin, and RSDL was (experimental group) or was not (control group) applied to the open wound; the wound edges were then approximated with sutures. Seven days later, animals were euthanized and wound samples were taken. Healing was assessed by measuring mechanical strength, collagen content, and histological appearance. RSDL-treated wounds had 23% lower tensile strength (p < 0.05) and 11% lower collagen content (p < 0.05) than did the untreated control wounds. Histological assessments did not differ significantly between groups. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the application of RSDL directly to an open wound impairs wound strength and decreases collagen content in the early phases of wound healing. This may have clinical implications for the treatment and outcomes of chemical casualty combat trauma.

Thirty-five healthy, active duty, U.S. Army volunteers (20 men and 15 women; age, 22-36 years) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, supplemented their diet for 7 days with 20 g/day of either Cr or taurine (as placebo). There was no significant difference in 2-minute push-up counts between the Cr and taurine groups from before to after supplementation (p = 0.437; power = 0.98). The Cr group demonstrated a significant increase in serum creatinine levels (p < 0.001), compared with the taurine group, and this increase could be misinterpreted as impairment of renal function. No adverse changes in blood pressure, body composition, weight, or serum Cr phosphokinase levels were observed. We conclude that short-term Cr supplementation appears to be safe but does not enhance push-up performance.

Secondary data collected for 24 U.S.-based Army hospitals and medical centers for the years 2001 to 2003 are the basis for this analysis. Technical efficiency was measured by using data envelopment analysis; subsequently, efficiency estimates were included in logarithmic-linear cost models that specified cost as a function of volume, complexity, efficiency, time, and facility type. These logarithmic-linear models were compared against stochastic frontier analysis models. A parsimonious, three-variable, logarithmic-linear model composed of volume, complexity, and efficiency variables exhibited a strong linear relationship with observed costs (R² = 0.98). This model also proved reliable in forecasting (R² = 0.96). Based on our analysis, as much as $120 million might be reallocated to improve the United States-based Army hospital performance evaluated in this study.

The validity of the self-report instrument is an important consideration in any study. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the validity of self-reported Army Physical fitness Test (APFT) scores. The APFT is administered to all soldiers in the U.S. Army twice a year and consists of the maximum number of push-ups completed in 2 minutes, the maximum number of sit-ups completed in 2 minutes, and a 2-mile run for time. Army mechanics responded to a questionnaire in March and June 2004 asking them to report the exact scores of each event on their most recent APFT, Actual APFT scores were obtained from the soldier's military unit. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of actual and self-reported numbers of push-ups was 61 ± 14 and 65 ± 13, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported numbers of sit-ups were 68 ± 10 and 68 ± 10, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported run times (minutes) were 14.8 ± 1.4 and 14.6 ± 1.4, respectively. Correlations between actual and self-reported push-ups, sit-ups, and run were 0.83, 0.71, and 0.85, respectively. On average, soldiers tended to slightly over-report performance on all APFT events and individual self-reported scores could vary widely from actual scores based on Bland-Airman plots. Despite this, the close correlations between the actual and self-reported scores suggest that self-reported values are adequate for most epidemiological military studies involving larger sample sizes.

The Department of Defense Dental Classification System is intended to identify military personnel at the greatest risk for dental emergencies, allowing military dental assets to prioritize dental treatment. Only two studies have been published on the emergency rates of U.S. Army Soldiers since 2000, both detailing emergency rates for Soldiers deployed to Bosnia. The Stabilization Force VII study identified that Soldiers experienced dental emergencies at a rate of 156 per 1,000 per year, whereas the Stabilization Force VIII study found the rate of 170 per 1,000 per year. No studies have been conducted for the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom due to difficulty in capturing all dental treatment encounters. Researchers should attempt to standardize the nomenclature and definitions to aid in the comparability of future dental emergency rate studies.

The retention of individuals entering service with a waiver for hearing deficiency has not been previously studied. Methods: Military retention among new enlistees with a medical waiver for hearing deficiency was compared with that among a matched comparison group of fully qualified enlistees. Comparisons according to branch of service over the first 3 years of service were performed with the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and proportional-hazards model. Results: Army subjects had significantly lower retention rates than did their fully qualified counterparts. In the adjusted model, Army and Navy enlistees with a waiver for hearing deficiency had a significantly lower likelihood of retention than did their matched counterparts. Discussion: The increased likelihood of medical attrition in enlistees with a waiver for hearing loss provides no evidence to make the hearing accession standard more lenient and validates a selective hearing loss waiver policy.

Meeting this objective often requires balancing competing interests between employers and employees. The medical examination is the method for protecting the government's interests in identifying federal civilian applicants and workers who are medically unqualified to perform their duties while also preventing discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Scant published guidance on performing authorized medical examinations and analyzing the resultant information is available for federal medical officers. This is needed to foster an equitable, compliant decision for both federal employers and employees. Using the Department of Defense as an example, this article provides a legal road map for the practitioner by defining medical standards and physical requirements, discussing medical examinations, and examining disability determinations.

PCs are used by the U.S. military to estimate field medical resources needed in combat operations. Information associated with each of the 389 PCs is based on subject matter expert opinion, instead of direct derivation from standard medical codes. Currently, no mechanisms exist to tie current or historical medical data to PCs. Our study objective was to determine whether reliable conversion between PC codes and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes is possible. Methods: Data were analyzed for three professional coders assigning all applicable ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to each PC code. Inter-rater reliability was measured by using Cohen's κ statistic and percent agreement. Methods were developed to calculate κ statistics when multiple responses could be selected from many possible categories. Results: Overall, we found moderate support for the possibility of reliable conversion between PCs and ICD-9-CM diagnoses (mean κ = 0.61). Conclusion: Current PCs should be modified into a system that is verifiable with real data.

Soldiers from a brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division were involved in a 5-week training exercise at the National Training Center. Health care visits were systematically recorded by the unit medics. Of 4,101 men and 413 women who participated in the exercise, 504 soldiers (409 men and 95 women} sought medical care at the main support medical clinic or Weed Army Community Hospital. The rates of injury and illness visits were 1.2% and 0.6% per week for men and 2.3% and 2.2% per week for women, respectively. Women had twice the risk of an injury and 3.5 times the risk of an illness, compared with men. Compared with other branches, combat service support soldiers had higher rates of injuries and illnesses. Enlisted soldiers of lower rank (E1-E4) experienced higher injury and illness rates than did noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers. Musculoskeletal injuries, environmental conditions, and dermatological conditions accounted for most visits.

For example, skew angles greater than 20° will affect the bending moment and the shear force in an exterior beam. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center performed a full-scale load test on a skewed railroad steel truss bridge at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, in July, 2007. The superstructure of the bridge was instrumented with 42 reusable strain transducers to accurately measure the structure's response to a 260 kip train engine. Analyses were carried out to determine the effect of the skew angle in that response. A three-dimensional finite-element model (FEM) was developed from the data collected during the load test. The measured internal axial forces compared satisfactorily with the results from the FEM analysis. After the calibration of the model, the results indicated that the skew angle decreased the internal axial forces by approximately 16%, which was comparable to current design practice.

AB - Prior to deployment, military personnel may experience a range of symptoms typically associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); however, the relationship of specific preexisting symptoms characteristic of PTSD to postdeployment PTSD symptoms is not well understood. This prospective study examined (a) pre- to postdeployment changes in reexperiencing, avoidance, numbing, and hyperarousal symptoms among Iraq-deployed military personnel, and (b) pre- to postdeployment associations among these symptom groupings. Seven-hundred and seventy-four U.S. Army soldiers completed the PTSD Checklist pre- and postdeployment to Iraq. Participants demonstrated increases in reexperiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptom severity but not in severity of numbing symptoms from pre- to postdeployment. Predeployment numbing was positively correlated with all postdeployment symptom clusters, and predeployment hyperarousal was positively correlated with postdeployment hyperarousal, reexperiencing, and numbing. Findings highlight the role of preexisting numbing and hyperarousal symptoms in the evolution of PTSD symptoms following trauma exposure. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

SP - 150 EP - 150 JO - Critical Care JF - Critical Care JA - CRIT CARE VL - 20 PB - BioMed Central AB - Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) has been classically employed as a rescue therapy for patients with respiratory failure not treatable with conventional mechanical ventilation alone. In recent years, however, the timing of ECMO initiation has been readdressed and ECMO is often started earlier in the time course of respiratory failure. Furthermore, some centers are starting to use ECMO as a first line of treatment, i.e., as an alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation in awake, non-intubated, spontaneously breathing patients with respiratory failure ("awake" ECMO). There is a strong rationale for this type of respiratory support as it avoids several side effects related to sedation, intubation, and mechanical ventilation. However, the complexity of the patient-ECMO interactions, the difficulties related to respiratory monitoring, and the management of an awake patient on extracorporeal support together pose a major challenge for the intensive care unit staff. Here, we review the use of vv-ECMO in awake, spontaneously breathing patients with respiratory failure, highlighting the pros and cons of this approach, analyzing the pathophysiology of patient-ECMO interactions, detailing some of the technical aspects, and summarizing the initial clinical experience gained over the past years.

SN - 09567976 AB - Readers mentally simulate the objects and events described in narratives. One common assumption is that readers mentally embody an actor's perspective; alternatively, readers might mentally simulate events from an external “onlooker” perspective. Two experiments examined the role of pronouns in modulating a reader's adopted perspective when comprehending simple event sentences. Experiment 1 demonstrated that readers embody an actor's perspective when the pronoun you or I is used, but take an external perspective when he is used. Experiment 2 , however, found that a short discourse context preceding the event sentence led readers to adopt an external perspective with the pronoun I. These experiments demonstrate that pronoun variation and discourse context mediate the degree of embodiment experienced during narrative comprehension: In all cases, readers mentally simulate objects and events, but they embody an actor's perspective only when directly addressed as the subject of a sentence.

The simplest summary of findings from the new field of positive psychology is that other people matter. It is within groups that we live, work, love, and play, and groups should therefore be a primary focus of researchers interested in health and well-being. In the present article, we propose morale as an important indicator of group well-being. We survey what is known about overall morale across a variety of groups: its meaning, measurement, enabling factors, and putative consequences. We sketch a future research agenda that would examine morale in multidimensional terms at both the individual and group levels and would pay particular attention to the positive outcomes associated with morale. Qu’est-ce qui fait que la vie vaut le plus la peine d’être vécue? Réduire à leur plus simple expression les résultats de ce nouveau domaine qu’est la psychologie positive revient à mentionner l’importance d’autrui. C’est dans des groupes que nous vivons, travaillons, aimons et jouons, et les groupes devraient donc être une préoccupation première pour les chercheurs concernés par la santé et le bien-être. Dans cet article, on avance l’idée que le moral est un indicateur majeur du bien-être des groupes. On recense ce qui est connu sur le moral en général dans divers types de groupes: sa signification, sa mesure, ses antécédents et ses conséquences supposées. On esquisse un futur programme de recherche qui appréhenderait le moral de façon multidimensionnelle aux niveaux à la fois individuel et groupal et accorderait une attention particulière aux retombées positives relevant du moral.

Competencies are unique products or services, often created in the R&D labs, which can penetrate existing markets. Capabilities are the operational ability to deliver those new products and services efficiently, repeatedly and in sufficient volume. Capabilities' and competencies are both required to successfully place a product in the market. These must also be supported by corporate resources to ensure longevity The importance of aligning competencies, capabilities and resources can be explained through the analogy of an axe blade splitting dense wood.

In its native form, innovation starts with observation and experience. Someone notices something valuable and repeats the activity to repeat the rewards. This lead to practices that appear to capture the value noticed in observation. Practices, however, are very limited and not immediately extensible to other businesses, activities or products. Therefore, practices are soon extended into principles, which seem to generalize the important aspects of specific practices. When principles derive from historical data, models attempt to structure this knowledge so that it can be extrapolated to future applications. Finally, theory-based practices replace limited observations with limited theories in describing the most appropriate practices.

The infrastructure assessment tools included one pen and paper checklist and two software-based tools based on specialized handheld hardware for data collection in combat conditions. Evaluation was conducted using macroergonomic and applied cognitive task analysis methods with soldiers of varying levels of infrastructure assessment expertise. Each assessment method was evaluated based on performance (time, errors, and accuracy) and usability (ergonomic and cognitive challenges). We found that soldiers documented more accurate data using handheld digital devices instead of pen-and-paper assessment forms, but there was little difference in time between the methods. Contrary to initial expectation, we also found that most soldiers prefer a slightly more difficult to use handheld assessment device with customized checklists rather than an easier to use, less restrictive device. Critiques developed by this research can be used to improve engineering and construction organizations as well as add to our design guidelines for portable infrastructure assessment tools and methods.

Psychological hardiness marks resilient people who maintain their health and performance despite stressful situations. The present study evaluates psychological hardiness at entry to West Point military academy as a predictor of leader performance and adaptability over time. Predictors also included Scholastic Aptitude Test ( SAT) scores, and a composite indicator of leader potential ( Whole Candidate Score) taken from admissions records. Using the Pulakos adaptability taxonomy as a guide, adaptability performance items were taken from a survey of graduates given 3 years after graduation. Also, military leadership grades as West Point seniors provided an index of traditional military performance. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Whole Candidate Scores predict military leader performance at West Point, but not leader adaptability after graduation. However, hardiness predicts leader performance at West Point, and also leader adaptability (self- and supervisor ratings) after graduation. SAT scores and the challenge facet of hardiness are negative predictors of leader performance at West Point. Results indicate that while the traditional measures Whole Candidate Score predicts leader performance in the stable, highly regulated environment of West Point, it does not predict leader adaptability and performance in the uncertain environment of real-world operations. In contrast, psychological hardiness (commitment and control facets) measured as academy freshmen predicts leader adaptability in officers measured 7 years later. Psychological hardiness appears to be a promising factor in promoting the development of adaptability.

Our calculations show that the local DGT-induced depletion of MMHg in sediment pore waters should be fully compensated by the natural in situ MMHg production and its subsequent remobilization from the solid phase. DGT results were interpreted in terms of labile pore water concentration and provide MMHg concentration depth profiles with a centimeter resolution. Average concentrations of DGT-labile MMHg were 2.10 ± 0.29 and 1.64 ± 0.30 ng L-1 at China Camp and Hamilton Army Airfield sediment pore waters, respectively, while the riverine location at Petaluma showed a distinct peak of 7.1 ng L-1 near the sediment surface. Using isotope-enriched mercury species, high resolution depth profiles of MMHg net production rates ranging from 0.2 to 9.8 ng g-1 d-1 were obtained in parallel sediment cores sampled closely to DGT deployment sites. A positive, linear relationship between MMHg net production rates and labile MMHg concentrations acquired through DGT measurements was found and explained 79% of the variability in the data set. The latter illustrates that mercury methylation, a biogeochemical process, strongly affected the quantity of MMHg accumulated by the DGT device in the sediment and suggests that DGT measurements have the potential to predict net methylation rates.

In order to develop toxicity data for safety assessment, we investigated the genotoxicity of NTO, using a battery of genotoxicity tests, which included the Ames test, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell chromosome aberration test, L5178Y TK+/− mouse lymphoma mutagenesis test and rat micronucleus test. NTO was not mutagenic in the Ames test or in Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA). NTO did not induce chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells, with or without metabolic activation. In the L5178Y TK+/− mouse lymphoma mutagenesis test, all of the NTO-treated cultures had mutant frequencies that were similar to the average frequencies of solvent control-treated cultures, indicating a negative result. Confirmatory tests for the three in vitro tests also produced negative results. The potential in vivo clastogenicity and aneugenicity of NTO was evaluated using the rat peripheral blood micronucleus test. NTO was administered by oral gavage to male and female Sprague–Dawley rats for 14 days at doses up to 2g/kg/day. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood demonstrated no significant induction of micronucleated reticulocytes relative to the vehicle control (PEG-200). These studies reveal that NTO was not genotoxic in either in vitro or in vivo tests and suggest a low risk of genetic hazards associated with exposure.

Alaskan coastlines are especially vulnerable to erosion and other changes that have led to significant damage and threats to infrastructure, human health and safety, and economic prosperity. This paper describes an integration of scenario analysis with multi-criteria decision analysis to prioritise the vulnerability of communities for the development of infrastructure protection and other actions. The approach allows stakeholders to account for uncertainty in the prioritisation and also includes value judgements of the multiple relevant stakeholders. We present a case study that evaluates several climate change scenarios and formulates metrics for finding scenarios that most impact priorities. Scenarios including sea-level rise, increased frequency of forest fires, permafrost melting, and others are used. We find the increased frequency of forest fires to be the most upsetting scenario along with four communities that are identified as highly vulnerable and not sensitive to the scenarios.

T1 - Investigations of transcript expression in fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) brain tissue reveal toxicological impacts of RDX exposure JO - Aquatic Toxicology JF - Aquatic Toxicology Y1 - 2011/01/17/ VL - 101 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 135 EP - 145 SN - 0166445X AB - Abstract: Production, usage and disposal of the munitions constituent (MC) cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) has led to environmental releases on military facilities. The chemical attributes of RDX are conducive for leaching to surface water which may put aquatic organisms at risk of exposure. Because RDX has been observed to cause aberrant neuromuscular effects across a wide range of animal phyla, we assessed the effects of RDX on central nervous system (CNS) functions in the representative aquatic ecotoxicological model species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). We developed a fathead minnow brain-tissue cDNA library enriched for transcripts differentially expressed in response to RDX and trinitrotoluene (TNT) exposure. All 4,128 cDNAs were sequenced, quality filtered and assembled yielding 2230 unique sequences and 945 significant blastx matches (E ≤10−5). The cDNA library was leveraged to create custom-spotted microarrays for use in transcript expression assays. The impact of RDX on transcript expression in brain tissue was examined in fathead minnows exposed to RDX at 0.625, 2.5, 5, 10mg/L or an acetone-spike control for 10 days. Overt toxicity of RDX in fathead minnow occurred only at the highest exposure concentration resulting in 50% mortality and weight loss. Conversely, Bayesian analysis of microarray data indicated significant changes in transcript expression at concentrations as low as 0.625mg/L. In total, 154 cDNAs representing 44 unique transcripts were differentially expressed in RDX exposures, the majority of which were validated by reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Investigation of molecular pathways, gene ontology (GO) and individual gene functions affected by RDX exposures indicated changes in metabolic processes involved in: oxygen transport, neurological function, calcium binding/signaling, energy metabolism, cell growth/division, oxidative stress and ubiquitination. In total, our study indicated that RDX exposure affected molecular processes critical to CNS function in fathead minnow.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/01/15/ VL - 45 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 666 EP - 672 SN - 0013936X AB - Quantification of emissions of fugitive particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere from military training operations is of interest by the United States Department of Defense. A new range-resolved optical remote sensing (ORS) method was developed to quantify fugitive PM emissions from puff sources (i.e., artillery back blasts), ground-level mobile sources (i.e., movement of tracked vehicles), and elevated mobile sources (i.e., airborne helicopters) in desert areas that are prone to generating fugitive dust plumes. Real-time, in situ mass concentration profiles for PM mass with particle diameters <10 μm (PM10) and <2.5 μm (PM2.5) were obtained across the dust plumes that were generated by these activities with this new method. Back blasts caused during artillery firing were characterized as a stationary short-term puff source whose plumes typically dispersed to <10 m above the ground with durations of 10-30 s. Fugitive PM emissions caused by artillery back blasts were related to the zone charge and ranged from 51 to 463 g PM/firing for PM10 and 9 to 176 g PM/firing for PM2.5. Movement of tracked vehicles and flying helicopters was characterized as mobile continuous sources whose plumes typically dispersed 30-50 m above the ground with durations of 100-200 s. Fugitive PM emissions caused by moving tracked vehicles ranged from 8.3 to 72.5 kg PM/km for PM10 and 1.1 to 17.2 kg PM/km for PM2.5, and there was no obvious correlation between PM emission and vehicle speed. The emission factor for the helicopter flying at 3 m above the ground ranged from 14.5 to 114.1 kg PM/km for PM10 and 5.0 to 39.5 kg PM/km for PM2.5, depending on the velocity of the helicopter and type of soil it flies over. Fugitive PM emissions by an airborne helicopter were correlated with helicopter speed for a particular soil type. The results from this range-resolved ORS method were also compared with the data obtained with another path-integrated ORS method and a Flux Tower method.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2011/01//Jan/Feb2011 VL - 17 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 57 EP - 121 SN - 10807039 AB - In the event of a chemical terrorist attack on a transportation hub, post-event remediation and restoration activities necessary to attain unrestricted facility re-use and re-entry could require hours to multiple days. While timeframes are dependent on numerous variables, a primary controlling factor is the level of pre-planning and decision-making completed prior to chemical release. What follows is the second of a two-part analysis identifying key considerations, critical information and decision criteria to facilitate post-attack and post-decontamination consequence management activities. Decision criteria analysis presented here provides first-time, open-literature documentation of multi-pathway, health-based remediation exposure guidelines for selected toxic industrial compounds, chemical warfare agents, and agent degradation products for pre-planning application in anticipation of a chemical terrorist attack. Guideline values are provided for inhalation and direct ocular vapor exposure routes as well as percutaneous vapor, surface contact, and ingestion. Target populations include various employees as well as transit passengers. This work has been performed as a national case study conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles International Airport and The Bradley International Terminal. All recommended guidelines have been selected for consistency with airport scenario release parameters of a one-time, short-duration, finite airborne release from a single source followed by compound-specific decontamination.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2011/01//Jan/Feb2011 VL - 17 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 2 EP - 56 SN - 10807039 AB - In the event of a chemical terrorist attack on a transportation hub, post-event remediation and restoration activities necessary to attain unrestricted facility re-use and re-entry could require hours to multiple days. While restoration timeframes are dependent on numerous variables, a primary controlling factor is the level of pre-planning and decision-making completed prior to chemical terrorist release. What follows is the first of a two-part analysis identifying key considerations, critical information, and decision criteria to facilitate post-attack and post-decontamination consequence management activities. A conceptual site model and human health-based exposure guidelines are developed and reported as an aid to site-specific pre-planning in the current absence of U.S. state or Federal values designated as compound-specific remediation or re-entry concentrations, and to safely expedite facility recovery to full operational status. Chemicals of concern include chemical warfare nerve and vesicant agents and the toxic industrial compounds phosgene, hydrogen cyanide, and cyanogen chloride. This work has been performed as a national case study conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles International Airport and The Bradley International Terminal. All recommended guidelines have been selected for consistency with airport scenario release parameters of a one-time, short-duration, finite airborne release from a single source followed by compound-specific decontamination.

When MFCs were inoculated with C. acetobutylicum, they generated a unique voltage output pattern where two distinct voltage peaks occurred over a weeklong period. This result was markedly different to previously studied organisms which usually generate one sustained voltage peak. Analysis of the fermentation products indicated that the dual voltage peaks correlated with glucose metabolism. The first voltage peak correlated with acidogenic metabolism (acetate and butyrate production) and the second peak with solventogenic metabolism (acetone and butanol production). This demonstrates that MFCs can be applied as a novel tool to monitor the shift from acid production to solvent production in C. acetobutylicum.

The model components are applied to an identical, unstructured mesh; share parallel computing infrastructure; and run sequentially in time. Wind speeds, water levels, currents and radiation stress gradients are vertex-based, and therefore can be passed through memory or cache to each model component. Parallel simulations based on domain decomposition utilize identical sub-meshes, and the communication is highly localized. Inter-model communication is intra-core, while intra-model communication is inter-core but is local and efficient because it is solely on adjacent sub-mesh edges. The resulting integrated SWAN+ADCIRC system is highly scalable and allows for localized increases in resolution without the complexity or cost of nested meshes or global interpolation between heterogeneous meshes. Hurricane waves and storm surge are validated for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, demonstrating the importance of inclusion of the wave-circulation interactions, and efficient performance is demonstrated to 3062 computational cores.

The authors used the Everglades Landscape Model and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to explore the effect of simulated ecosystem performance, risk preferences, and criteria weights on the ranking of three alternatives to restoring overland sheet flow in the Everglades. The ecological model outputs included both hydrologic and water quality criteria. Results were scored in the decision analysis framework, highlighting the trade-offs between hydrologic restoration and water quality constraints. Given equal weighting of performance measures, the alternative with more homogenous sheet flow was preferred over other alternatives, despite evidence of some localized eutrophication risk.

In view of the complex nature of the South Florida water resources system, regional-scale (system-wide) hydrologic models have been developed and used extensively for the development of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. In addition, numerous subregional-scale hydrologic and hydrodynamic models have been developed and are being used for evaluating project-scale water management plans associated with urban, agricultural, and inland costal ecosystems. The authors provide a comprehensive summary of models of all scales, as well as the next generation models under development to meet the future needs of ecosystem restoration efforts in South Florida. The multiagency efforts to develop and apply models have allowed the agencies to understand the complex hydrologic interactions, quantify appropriate performance measures, and use new technologies in simulation algorithms, software development, and GIS/database techniques to meet the future modeling needs of the ecosystem restoration programs.

Nevertheless, the effects of estuary and river restoration often continue to be evaluated at local project scales or by integration in an additive manner. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to apply knowledge gained from measuring cumulative impacts of anthropogenic stressors on ecosystems to assessment of ecological restoration. Integration of this knowledge has potential to increase the efficacy of restoration projects that are conducted at several locations but comanaged within the confines of a larger integrative program. We introduce a framework based on a levels-of-evidence approach that facilitates assessment of the cumulative landscape effects of individual restoration actions taken at many different locations. It incorporates data collection at restoration and reference sites, hydrodynamic modeling, geographic information systems, and meta-analyses in a five-stage process: design, data development, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, and application. This framework evolved from the need to evaluate the efficacy of restoration projects that are being implemented in numerous wetlands on the 235 km tidal portion of the Columbia River, USA, which are intended to increase rearing habitat for out-migrating juvenile salmonid fishes.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/02// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 265 EP - 273 SN - 07307268 AB - The rapid development of new technologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics (Omics) are changing the way ecotoxicology is practiced. The data deluge has begun with genomes of over 65 different aquatic species that are currently being sequenced, and many times that number with at least some level of transcriptome sequencing. Integrating these top-down methodologies is an essential task in the field of systems biology. Systems biology is a biology-based interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions in biological systems, with the intent to model and discover emergent properties of the system. Recent studies demonstrate that Omics technologies provide valuable insight into ecotoxicity, both in laboratory exposures with model organisms and with animals exposed in the field. However, these approaches require a context of the whole animal and population to be relevant. Powerful approaches using reverse engineering to determine interacting networks of genes, proteins, or biochemical reactions are uncovering unique responses to toxicants. Modeling efforts in aquatic animals are evolving to interrelate the interacting networks of a system and the flow of information linking these elements. Just as is happening in medicine, systems biology approaches that allow the integration of many different scales of interaction and information are already driving a revolution in understanding the impacts of pollutants on aquatic systems.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/02// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 353 SN - 07307268 AB - Potentially toxic nitroaromatic and nitramine compounds are introduced onto soils during detonation of explosives. The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces. Environ. Toxicol.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/01/15/ VL - 45 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 658 EP - 665 SN - 0013936X AB - The emissions of particulate matter (PM) from anthropogenic sources raise public concern. A new method is described here that was developed to complete in situ rapid response measurements of PM mass emissions from fugitive dust sources by use of optical remote sensing (ORS) and an anemometer. The ORS system consists of one ground-based micropulse light detection and ranging (MPL) device that was mounted on a positioner, two open path-Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometers, and two open path-laser transmissometers (OP-LT). An algorithm was formulated to compute PM light extinction profiles along each of the plume's cross sections that were determined with the MPL. Size-specific PM mass emission factors were then calculated by integrating the light extinction profiles with particle mass extinction efficiencies (determined with the OP-FTIRs/OP-LTs) and the wind's speed and direction. This method also quantifies the spatial and temporal variability of the plume's PM mass concentrations across each of the plume's cross sections. Example results from three field studies are also described to demonstrate how this new method is used to determine mass emission factors as well as characterize the dust plumes' horizontal and vertical dimensions and temporal variability of the PM's mass concentration.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 30 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 22 EP - 38 SN - 07307268 AB - The toxicological effects of many stressors are mediated through unknown, or incompletely characterized, mechanisms of action. The application of reverse engineering complex interaction networks from high dimensional omics data (gene, protein, metabolic, signaling) can be used to overcome these limitations. This approach was used to characterize adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for chemicals that disrupt the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in fathead minnows (FHM, Pimephales promelas). Gene expression changes in FHM ovaries in response to seven different chemicals, over different times, doses, and in vivo versus in vitro conditions, were captured in a large data set of 868 arrays. Potential AOPs of the antiandrogen flutamide were examined using two mutual information-based methods to infer gene regulatory networks and potential AOPs. Representative networks from these studies were used to predict network paths from stressor to adverse outcome as candidate AOPs. The relationship of individual chemicals to an adverse outcome can be determined by following perturbations through the network in response to chemical treatment, thus leading to the nodes associated with the adverse outcome. Identification of candidate pathways allows for formation of testable hypotheses about key biological processes, biomarkers, or alternative endpoints that can be used to monitor an AOP. Finally, the unique challenges facing the application of this approach in ecotoxicology were identified and a road map for the utilization of these tools presented. Environ. Toxicol.

T1 - A review of the tissue residue approach for organic and organometallic compounds in aquatic organisms. JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 50 EP - 74 SN - 15513777 AB - This paper reviews the tissue residue approach (TRA) for toxicity assessment as it applies to organic chemicals and some organometallic compounds (Sn, Hg, and Pb) in aquatic organisms. Specific emphasis was placed on evaluating key factors that influence interpretation of critical body residue (CBR) toxicity metrics including data quality issues, lipid dynamics, choice of endpoints, processes that alter toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, phototoxicity, species- and life stage-specific sensitivities, and biotransformation. The vast majority of data available on TRA is derived from laboratory studies of acute lethal responses to organic toxicants exhibiting baseline toxicity. Application of the TRA to various baseline toxicants as well as substances with specific modes of action via receptor-mediated processes, such as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and organometallics is discussed, as is application of TRA concepts in field assessments of tissue residues. In contrast to media-based toxicity relationships, CBR values tend to be less variable and less influenced by factors that control bioavailability and bioaccumulation, and TRA can be used to infer mechanisms of toxic action, evaluate the toxicity of mixtures, and interpret field data on bioaccumulated toxicants. If residue-effects data are not available, body residues can be estimated, as has been done using the target lipid model for baseline toxicants, to derive critical values for risk assessment. One of the primary unresolved issues complicating TRA for organic chemicals is biotransformation. Further work on the influence of biotransformation, a better understanding of contaminant lipid interactions, and an explicit understanding of the time dependency of CBRs and receptor-mediated toxicity are all required to advance this field. Additional residue-effects data on sublethal endpoints, early life stages, and a wider range of legacy and emergent contaminants will be needed to improve the ability to use TRA for organic and organometallic compounds.

T1 - Application of the tissue residue approach in ecological risk assessment. JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 116 EP - 140 SN - 15513777 AB - The objective of this work is to present a critical review of the application of the tissue residue approach (TRA) in ecological risk and/or impact assessment (ERA) of chemical stressors and environmental criteria development. A secondary goal is to develop a framework for integrating the TRA into ecological assessments along with traditional, exposure concentration-based assessment approaches. Although widely recognized for its toxicological appeal, the utility of the TRA in specific applications will depend on numerous factors, such as chemical properties, exposure characteristics, assessment type, availability of tissue residue-response data, and ability to quantify chemical exposure. Therefore, the decision to use the TRA should include an evaluation of the relative strengths, limitations, and uncertainties among exposure and residue-based methods for characterizing toxicological effects. Furthermore, rather than supplanting exposure concentration-based toxicity assessments, the TRA can be highly effective for evaluating and reducing uncertainty when used in a complementary manner (e.g., when evaluating multiple lines of evidence in field studies). To address limitations with the available tissue residue-response data, approaches for extrapolating residue-based toxicity data across species, tissues, and exposure durations are discussed. Some of these approaches rely on predicted residue-response relationships or toxicological models that have an implicit residue-response basis (e.g., biotic ligand model). Because risk to an organism is a function of both its exposure potential and inherent sensitivity (i.e., on a residue basis), bioaccumulation models will be required not only for translating tissue residue criteria into corresponding water and sediment criteria, but also for defining the most vulnerable species in an assemblage (i.e., highly exposed and highly sensitive species). Application of the TRA in ecological assessments and criteria development are summarized for bioaccumulative organic chemicals, TBT, and in situ bioassays using bivalve molluscs.

Its growth to more than 8 million was a significant accomplishment. Little known to most, the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration's youth program, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), provided the pretrained manpower to fill the U.S. Army's ranks upon mobilization with men who readily assumed the role of Non--Commissioned Officers (NCOs). It also gave Organized Reserve Corps officers the opportunity to occupy leadership positions, an experience that would have been unavailable otherwise. By the same token, it allowed the Regular Army to assess the leadership potential of both Regular and Reserve Officers in leading future citizen soldiers. Last, it provided the Army with an opportunity to exercise its mobilization plans.

The study used a questionnaire based on the Petty Tyranny in Organizations Scale to explore the scope and nature of destructive leadership as reported by U.S. members of the class of 2008 at a military senior service college. It also explored the relationship between leadership experiences and various measures of satisfaction and inclination to remain in service. The authors observe that despite the central role that the concept of leadership holds in the military, even senior personnel reported experiencing toxic leadership. There was a significant negative relationship between destructive leadership and all measures of satisfaction. Surprisingly, there was not a significant negative impact on inclination to remain in service among this career-oriented and dedicated population.

JO - AI EDAM JF - AI EDAM Y1 - 2010/02// VL - 24 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 3 EP - 16 SN - 08900604 AB - This paper discusses the integration of knowledge bases and shape grammars for the generation of building models, covering interaction, system, and implementation. Knowledge-based and generative systems are combined to construct a method for characterizing existing buildings, in particular, their interior layouts based on exterior features and certain other parameters such as location and real dimensions. The knowledge-based model contains information about spatial use, organization, elements, and contextual information, with the shape grammar principally containing style rules. Buildings are analyzed and layouts are generated through communication and interaction between these two systems. The benefit of using an interactive system is that the complementary properties of the two schemes are employed to strengthen the overall process. Ontologies capture knowledge relating to architectural design principles, building anatomy, structure, and systems. Shape grammar rules embody change through geometric manipulation and transformation. Existing buildings are analyzed using this approach, and three-dimensional models are automatically generated. Two particular building types, the vernacular rowhouse and high-rise apartment building, both from Baltimore, Maryland, are presented to illustrate the process and for comparing the utilized methodologies.

Excavation of a sample of the most promising anomalies identified foundations, stone-lined and pit cellars, wells, a privy, and other features. Archival records available during the fieldwork provided no evidence for the presence of four features constructed in the 1840s and 1850s. Features directly associated with houses, such as foundations and cellars, are located very near the platted locations of streets, alleys, and comers, whereas many of the non-residential features occur in the middle portions of lots.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2010/12/15/ VL - 44 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 9571 EP - 9577 SN - 0013936X AB - This investigation applied novel techniques for characterizing and fractionating nanosilver particles and aggregates and relating these measurements to toxicological endpoints. The acute toxicity of eight nanosilver suspensions of varying primary particle sizes (10-80 nm) and coatings (citrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone. EDTA, proprietary) was assessed using three aquatic test organisms [Daphnia magna, Pimephales promelas, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata). When 48-h lethal median concentrations (LC50) were expressed as total silver, both D. magna and P. promelas were significantly more sensitive to ionic silver (Ag+) as AgNO3 (mean LC50 = 1.2 and 6.3 μg/L, respectively) relative to a wide range in LC50 values determined for the nanosilver suspensions (2 -126 μg/L). However, when LC50 values for nanosilver suspensions were expressed as fractionated nanosilver (Ag+ and/or <4 nm particles), determined by ultracentrifugation of particles and confirmed field-flow-fractograms, the LC50 values (0.3-5.6 μg/L) were comparable to the values obtained for ionic Ag+ as AgNO3. These results suggest that dissolved Ag+ plays a critical role in acute toxicity and underscores the importance of characterizing dissolved fractions in nanometal suspensions.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2010/12//12/1/2010 VL - 44 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 9170 EP - 9175 SN - 0013936X AB - Carbon fullerenes, including buckminsterfullerene (C60), are increasingly available for numerous applications, thus increasing the likelihood of environmental release. This calls for information about their bioavailability and bioaccumulation potential. In this study, 14C-labeled C60 and 14C-phenanthrene (positive control) were added separately to soils of varying composition and organic carbon content (OC), and their bioaccumulation in the earthworm Eisenia fetida was compared. Biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) were measured after 24 h depuration in soils with high C60 dosages (60, 100, and 300 mg-C60 kg-1 dry soil), which exceed the soil sorption capacity, as well as in soils with a low C60 dose (0.25 mg kg-1) conducive to a high fraction of sorbed molecular C60. The BSAF value for the low-dose soil (0.427) was 1 order of magnitude lower than for less hydrophobic phenanthrene (7.93), inconsistent with the equilibrium partition theory that suggests that BSAF should be constant and independent of the KOW value of the chemical. Apparently, the large molecular size of C60 hinders uptake and bioaccumulation. Lower BSAF values (0.065-0.13) were measured for high-dose soils, indicating that C60 bioaccumulates more readily when a higher fraction of molecular C60 (rather than larger precipitates) is available. For the high-dose tests (heterogeneous C60 system), soil OC content did not significantly affect the extent of C60 bioaccumulation after 28 d of incubation, although higher OC content resulted in faster initial bioaccumulation. For low-dose soils, C60 BSAF decreased with increasing soil OC, as commonly reported for hydrophobic chemicals due to partitioning into soil OC. There was no detectable transformation of 14C60 in either soil or worm tissue. Overall, the relatively low extent but rapid bioaccumulation of C60 in E. fetida suggests the need for further studies on the potential for trophic transfer and biomagnification.

T1 - Assessing barotrauma in neutrally and negatively buoyant juvenile salmonids exposed to simulated hydro-turbine passage using a mobile aquatic barotrauma laboratory JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 106 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 271 EP - 278 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: Barotrauma-injuries sustained following rapid decompression occur in many different fisheries applications. Previous attempts to quantify barotrauma in fish have been limited by the functionality of hypo/hyperbaric systems. Further, field studies often are confounded by covariates. The mobile aquatic barotrauma laboratory (MABL) was designed to address these limitations. Specifically, this testing facility allows the user to evaluate similar complex pressure scenarios to which migrating juvenile salmonids are exposed following turbine or spillway passage. In this paper, we describe the MABL and present a case study in which negative and neutrally buoyant juvenile Chinook salmon were exposed to simulated hydro-turbine passage (STP). The severity of the decompression profile and the fish''s ability to gain neutral buoyancy were used as predictor variables. We determined that following STP, fish that achieved neutral buoyancy during a 16-h acclimation period had a greater risk of mortality and injury (gill emboli, swim bladder rupture, and internal hemorrhaging) than negatively buoyant conspecifics. This research solidifies the need to allow fish to become neutrally buoyant when assessing barotrauma and mortality in field and laboratory applications. Future research examining injury and mortality of turbine-passed fish needs to consider the fish''s buoyancy to more appropriately evaluate these endpoints.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 46 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Snow distribution patterns are similar from one year to the next because they are largely controlled by the interaction of topography, vegetation, and consistent synoptic weather patterns. On a yearly basis none of these controls changes radically. As a consequence, deep and shallow areas of snow tend to be fixed in space, producing depth differences that may vary in absolute, but not relative, amounts from year to year. While this fact is widely known, the use of patterns in modeling snow cover distribution is limited. Here, on the basis of a training set of nine annual snow depth surveys from a small tundra basin in Alaska, we identify the climatological snow distribution pattern (CSDP). Using this and a few depth measurements, the snow distribution for years that were not included in the training set is predicted and mapped with a near-zero bias and RMSE that ranged from 4.4 to 10.4 cm. The accuracy of this strictly empirical approach to modeling the depth distribution is similar to, or better than, the output from a weather-driven physically based snow model. However, in our view a hybrid approach is best. Ingesting the CSDP into SnowModel, a widely used numerical code that simulates snow processes, the accuracy of the model output is improved by up to 60%. This hybrid approach retains the advantages of running a weather-driven numerical code but adds spatial accuracy currently only obtainable from observed snow patterns. The patterns can be captured in several ways, including aerial photography or satellite remote sensing during snowmelt.

However, decision-makers such as regulatory agencies, product developers, or other nanotechnology stakeholders may not find the results of such research directly informative of decisions intended to mitigate environmental risks. To help interpret research findings and prioritize new research needs, there is an acute need for structured decision-analytic aids that are operable in a context of extraordinary uncertainty. Whereas existing stochastic decision-analytic techniques explore uncertainty only in decision-maker preference information, this paper extends model uncertainty to technology performance. As an illustrative example, the framework is applied to the case of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Four different synthesis processes (arc, high pressure carbon monoxide, chemical vapor deposition, and laser) are compared based on five salient performance criteria. A probabilistic rank ordering of preferred processes is determined using outranking normalization and a linear-weighted sum for different weighting scenarios including completely unknown weights and four fixed-weight sets representing hypothetical stakeholder views. No single process pathway dominates under all weight scenarios, but it is likely that some inferior process technologies could be identified as low priorities for further research.

The Chandeleur Islands, located 161km east of New Orleans, Louisiana, have endured numerous hurricanes that have passed nearby. Hurricane Katrina (landfall near Waveland MS, 29 Aug 2005) caused dramatic changes to the island elevation and shape. In this paper the predictability of hurricane-induced barrier island erosion and accretion is evaluated using a coupled hydrodynamic and morphodynamic model known as XBeach. Pre- and post-storm island topography was surveyed with an airborne lidar system. Numerical simulations utilized realistic surge and wave conditions determined from larger-scale hydrodynamic models. Simulations included model sensitivity tests with varying grid size and temporal resolutions. Model-predicted bathymetry/topography and post-storm survey data both showed similar patterns of island erosion, such as increased dissection by channels. However, the model under predicted the magnitude of erosion. Potential causes for under prediction include (1) errors in the initial conditions (the initial bathymetry/topography was measured three years prior to Katrina), (2) errors in the forcing conditions (a result of our omission of storms prior to Katrina and/or errors in Katrina storm conditions), and/or (3) physical processes that were omitted from the model (e.g., inclusion of sediment variations and bio-physical processes).

The treatment wetlands utilized a readily available organic woodchip-media packing to create the anoxic conditions. After 2 years in operation, nitrate removal was found to be best described by first-order kinetics. Removal rate constants at 20°C (k 20) were determined to be 1.41–1.30d−1, with temperature coefficients (θ) of 1.10 and 1.17, for planted and unplanted experimental woodchip-media SSF wetlands, respectively. First-order removal rate constants decreased as length of operation increased; however, a longer-term study is needed to establish the steady-state values. The hydraulic conductivity in the planted woodchip-media SSF wetlands, 0.13–0.15m/s, was similar to that measured in an unplanted gravel-media SSF control system.

For RDX, maximum mortality occurred during the first two days of exposure with a 10-d median lethal concentration (LC50) of 9.9mgL−1. The RDX 10-d median lethal residue (LR50) was 9.6mgkg−1 (34.9μmolkg−1) wet weight (ww), the first RDX critical body residue reported for fish. Previous investigations reported that RDX body residues in marine amphipods up to 96μmolkg−1 ww and in marine mussels up to 86μmolkg−1 ww failed to result in significant mortality. The highest HMX concentration tested, corresponding to its apparent solubility limit in seawater (2.0mgL−1), and the associated mean body residue (3mgkg−1 or 14μmolkg−1 ww) resulted in no significant mortality for exposed minnows. The mean 10-d bioconcentration factors for RDX (0.6–0.9Lkg−1) and HMX (0.3–1.6Lkg−1) were typically lower than 1, reflecting the low bioaccumulative potential for these compounds.

However, surprisingly little information is available on one-electron standard reduction potentials (E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−)). The E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) is an essential thermodynamic parameter for predicting the rate and extent of reductive transformation for energetic residues. In this study, experimental (linear free energy relationships) and theoretical (ab initio calculation) approaches were employed to determine E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) for nitroaromatic, (caged) cyclic nitramine, and nitroimino explosives that are found in military installations or are emerging contaminants. The results indicate a close agreement between experimental and theoretical E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) and suggest a key trend: E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) value decreases from di- and tri-nitroaromatic (e.g., 2,4-dinitroanisole) to nitramine (e.g., RDX) to nitroimino compound (e.g., nitroguanidine). The observed trend in E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) agrees with reported rate trends for reductive degradation, suggesting a thermodynamic control on the reduction rate under anoxic/suboxic conditions.

Recent evidence of sea level rise coupled with potential future global warming indicate that sea level rise will accelerate and hurricanes may intensify over the coming decades. In regions fronted by barrier islands, the protective capacity of these islands may diminish as they are degraded by rising sea level. Here we present a hydrodynamic and geospatial analysis of the relative role of barrier island degradation on potential future hurricane flooding. For the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, USA, hurricane flooding is projected to rise between 20% and 70% by the 2030s, resulting in an increase in property damages and impacted population. These findings indicate that adaptive management strategies should be developed and adopted for mitigating loss of natural barrier islands when these islands act as protective features for populated bayside communities. Finally, this study illustrates a method for applying models to forecast future storm protection benefits of barrier island restoration projects.

Two reactor configurations, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and a classic batch reactor (CBR) were tested as simultaneous saccharification and fermentation reactors (enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation in one tank). The CBR demonstrated greater stability of hydrogen production and simplicity of operation, while the SBR provided better nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses showed acetic acid to be the main product from both reactors. Optimal CBR conditions were found to be pH 5, 4 g/L loading, 0.45 ml/g Accellerase 1500, and 38 °C. Experiments with an argon purge in place of nitrogen and with ammonium chloride spiking suggested that hydrogenase and nitrogenase enzymes contributed similarly to hydrogen production in the cultures. Analysis of a single fermentation showed that hydrogen production occurred relatively early in the course of TOC removal, and that follow-on treatments might extract more energy from the products.

Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) is becoming increasingly recognized as an important environmental management tool that can be used to support the selection of suitable remediation alternatives and prioritization of management units in space and time. This paper proposes an MCDA framework for prioritizing sediment management alternatives. This framework involves identifying of a set of feasible options, as well as defining and evaluating criteria which integrate relevant technical, economic, social and environmental aspects of remedies. The methodology allows an explicit consideration of uncertainty in criteria scores and weights by assigning probability distributions and analyzing subsequent Monte-Carlo simulations. The consideration of different stakeholder simulated values is used to assess the robustness of alternative rankings and to guide the selection of remediation options. An application of this methodology to a case study in the Bay of Santander, Spain, is presented. An assessment is conducted for the case of unknown preferences as well as for hypothetical preferences profiles for four types of stakeholders: Idealist, Politician, Environmentalist and Balanced. The results are used to visualize stakeholder positions and potential disagreements, allowing for the identification of a group of least preferred alternatives for each stakeholder. Stakeholder involvement has the potential to ease the remedy selection process during all stages of the decision-making process and to eventually remedy implementation.

T1 - Higher susceptibility of the ventral versus the dorsal hippocampus and the posteroventral versus anterodorsal amygdala to soman-induced neuropathology JO - NeuroToxicology JF - NeuroToxicology Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 31 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 485 EP - 492 SN - 0161813X AB - Abstract: Nerve agents are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, exposure to which causes brain damage, primarily by inducing intense seizure activity. Knowledge of the brain regions that are most vulnerable to nerve agent-induced brain damage can facilitate the development of drugs targeting the protection of these regions. Both the amygdala and the hippocampus have been shown to suffer significant damage after nerve agent exposure, but the amygdala appears to be the more severely affected structure. However, damage in the amygdala has generally been compared with damage in the dorsal hippocampus, whereas there is evidence that the ventral hippocampus is significantly more susceptible to seizures than the dorsal region and, therefore, it may also be more susceptible to nerve agent-induced neuropathology. Here, we report that after status epilepticus induced by soman administration to rats, neuronal degeneration as assessed by Fluoro-Jade C staining was more extensive in the ventral than the dorsal hippocampal subfields, 1 day after soman exposure. Seven days later, the difference between dorsal and ventral regions was not statistically significant. In the amygdala, soman-induced neurodegeneration was more severe in the posteroventral regions of the lateral, basolateral, and medial nuclei compared to the anterodorsal regions of these nuclei. In contrast, the basomedial nucleus was more severely affected in the anterodorsal region. The extent of neurodegeneration in the amygdala was not significantly different from that in the ventral hippocampus. However, when compared with the whole hippocampus, the amygdala displayed more severe neurodegeneration, on both day 1 and day 7 after soman exposure. Testing the protective efficacy of drugs against nerve agent-induced brain damage should include examination of the ventral hippocampus and the posteroventral regions of the amygdala, as these areas are most vulnerable to nerve agent-induced neurodegeneration.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 103 EP - 128 SN - 01650009 AB - Climate strongly affects energy supply and demand in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Washington State (WA). We evaluate potential effects of climate change on the seasonality and annual amount of PNW hydropower production, and on heating and cooling energy demand. Changes in hydropower production are estimated by linking simulated streamflow scenarios produced by a hydrology model to a simulation model of the Columbia River hydro system. Changes in energy demand are assessed using gridded estimates of heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) which are then combined with population projections to create energy demand indices that respond both to climate, future population, and changes in residential air conditioning market penetration. We find that substantial changes in the amount and seasonality of energy supply and demand in the PNW are likely to occur over the next century in response to warming, precipitation changes, and population growth. By the 2040s hydropower production is projected to increase by 4.7–5.0% in winter, decrease by about 12.1–15.4% in summer, with annual reductions of 2.0–3.4%. Larger decreases of 17.1–20.8% in summer hydropower production are projected for the 2080s. Although the combined effects of population growth and warming are projected to increase heating energy demand overall (22–23% for the 2020s, 35–42% for the 2040s, and 56–74% for the 2080s), warming results in reduced per capita heating demand. Residential cooling energy demand (currently less than one percent of residential demand) increases rapidly (both overall and per capita) to 4.8–9.1% of the total demand by the 2080s due to increasing population, cooling degree days, and air conditioning penetration.

T1 - Climate change impacts on water management and irrigated agriculture in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, USA. JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 287 EP - 317 SN - 01650009 AB - The Yakima River Reservoir system supplies water to ~180,000 irrigated hectares through the operation of five reservoirs with cumulative storage of ~30% mean annual river flow. Runoff is derived mostly from winter precipitation in the Cascade Mountains, much of which is stored as snowpack. Climate change is expected to result in earlier snowmelt runoff and reduced summer flows. Effects of these changes on irrigated agriculture were simulated using a reservoir system model coupled to a hydrological model driven by downscaled scenarios from 20 climate models archived by the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. We find earlier snowmelt results in increased water delivery curtailments. Historically, the basin experienced substantial water shortages in 14% of years. Without adaptations, for IPCC A1B global emission scenarios, water shortages increase to 27% (13% to 49% range) in the 2020s, to 33% in the 2040s, and 68% in the 2080s. For IPCC B1 emissions scenarios, shortages occur in 24% (7% to 54%) of years in the 2020s, 31% in the 2040s and 43% in the 2080s. Historically unprecedented conditions where senior water rights holders suffer shortfalls occur with increasing frequency in both A1B and B1 scenarios. Economic losses include expected annual production declines of 5%–16%, with greater probabilities of operating losses for junior water rights holders.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 260 SN - 01650009 AB - Pacific Northwest (PNW) hydrology is particularly sensitive to changes in climate because snowmelt dominates seasonal runoff, and temperature changes impact the rain/snow balance. Based on results from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR4), we updated previous studies of implications of climate change on PNW hydrology. PNW 21st century hydrology was simulated using 20 Global Climate Models (GCMs) and 2 greenhouse gas emissions scenarios over Washington and the greater Columbia River watershed, with additional focus on the Yakima River watershed and the Puget Sound which are particularly sensitive to climate change. We evaluated projected changes in snow water equivalent (SWE), soil moisture, runoff, and streamflow for A1B and B1 emissions scenarios for the 2020s, 2040s, and 2080s. April 1 SWE is projected to decrease by approximately 38–46% by the 2040s (compared with the mean over water years 1917–2006), based on composite scenarios of B1 and A1B, respectively, which represent average effects of all climate models. In three relatively warm transient watersheds west of the Cascade crest, April 1 SWE is projected to almost completely disappear by the 2080s. By the 2080s, seasonal streamflow timing will shift significantly in both snowmelt dominant and rain–snow mixed watersheds. Annual runoff across the State is projected to increase by 2–3% by the 2040s; these changes are mainly driven by projected increases in winter precipitation.

JO - International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry JF - International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2010/08/20/ VL - 90 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 773 EP - 783 SN - 03067319 AB - Military small arms ranges in the United States have been used for munitions training with tungsten rounds, which are comprised of powdered tungsten (W) pressed together with polymeric binders. As a result, W has been introduced into surface soils. The environmental and human health effects of W remain open questions. The US Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for environmental monitoring, site assessments, and cleanup of small arms ranges. This work requires routine measurements of tungsten in natural waters and soils. However, the existing sample preparation and analytical procedures were not specifically developed with W in mind for environmental analysis. Our work suggests modification of existing metal sample preparation and analytical procedures are necessary to accurately quantify W in environmental media. Our group has been actively conducting W measurements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), both with quadrupole and sector field ICPMS systems. We have used heavy rare earth elements and iridium as internal standards. For soils, the great majority of the W from small arms can be dissolved using acid leaching with HNO3-H3PO4 mixtures; more rigorous preparations with fusion or HF digestions can also be used. In ICPMS analysis, the largest challenge involves dealing with the significant carry-over and memory of W in sample introduction systems. This ultimately limits measurement capabilities, particularly at sub-µg L-1 levels. With careful attention to the sample and standards' matrix constituents, and proper washout time, successful analysis is possible and ICPMS is clearly the preferred technique. A commercially available fluoropolymer sample introduction system exhibits significantly improved memory characteristics.

The dense snowpack and high sub-grid lake fraction across the tundra mean that conventional brightness temperature difference approaches (such as the commonly used 37GHz–19GHz) are not appropriate across the sub-Arctic. Airborne radiometer measurements (with footprint dimensions of approximately 70×120m) acquired across sub-Arctic Canada during three field campaigns during the 2008 winter season were utilized to illustrate a slope reversal in the 37GHz T B versus SWE relationship. Scattering by the tundra snowpack drives a negative relationship until a threshold SWE value is reached near 130mm at which point emission from the snowpack creates a positive but noisier relationship between 37GHz T B and SWE. The change from snowpack scattering to emission was also evident in the temporal evolution of 37GHz T B observed from satellite measurements. AMSR-E brightness temperatures (2002/03–2006/07) consistently exhibited decreases through the winter before reaching a minimum in February or March, followed by an increase for weeks or months before melt. The cumulative absolute change (Σ|Δ37V|) in vertically polarized 37GHz T B was computed at both monthly and pentad intervals from a January 1 start date and compared to ground measured SWE from intensive and regional snow survey campaigns, and climate station observations. A greater (lower) cumulative change in |Δ37V| was significantly related to greater (lower) ground measured SWE (r 2 =0.77 with monthly averages; r 2 =0.67 with pentad averages). Σ|Δ37V| was only weakly correlated with lake fraction: monthly r 2 values calculated for January through April 2003–2007 were largely less than 0.2. These results indicate that this is a computationally straightforward and viable algorithmic framework for producing tundra-specific SWE datasets from the complete satellite passive microwave record (1979 to present).

Treatments were burn plots on upper slopes or lower slopes fenced to prevent white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herbivory or control plots that were unfenced and unburned. Most of the 7 species we observed were the mountain dusky salamander (Desmognathus ocropheaus), red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and slimy salamander (Plethodon glutinosis). Significant population responses were difficult to interpret with numerous treatment and year interactions. Results largely were equivocal. We found no change in woodland salamander assemblage prior to burning or afterwards. There were few differences in adult to juvenile ratios of salamanders among treatments. Still, a priori contrasts of mountain dusky salamanders and red-backed salamander counts corrected for detection probability were greater under coverboards in the 2 years monitored after both prescribed fires had occurred than before burning or in unburned controls. This suggests that these species responded to the reduced leaf litter on the forest floor by utilizing coverboards more. Similarly, the three predominate species of salamanders also were more numerous under coverboards in plots subjected to deer herbivory with less subsequent forest floor vegetation as compared to those burned plots that were fenced. Our observations would suggest that woodland salamanders somewhat are tolerant of two prescribed fires within close temporal proximity. However, because woodland salamanders can be significantly reduced following timber harvest, continued research is needed to fully understand impacts of fire as a pre-harvest management tool in central Appalachian forests.

Within most numerical water quality models, the highest trophic level modeled explicitly is zooplankton, prohibiting an investigation of the effect a fish species may be having on its environment. Conversely, numerical models of fish consumption do not typically include feedback mechanisms to capture the effects of fish on primary production and nutrient recycling. In the present study, a fish bioenergetics model is incorporated into CE-QUAL-ICM, a spatially explicit eutrophication model. In addition to fish consumption of algae, zooplankton, and detritus, fish biomass accumulation and nutrient recycling to the water column are explicitly accounted for. These developments advance prior modeling efforts of the impact of fish on water quality, many of which are based on integrated estimates over an entire system and which omit the feedback the fish have through nutrient recycling and excretion. To validate the developments, a pilot application was undertaken for Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) in Chesapeake Bay. The model indicates menhaden may reduce the algal biomass while simultaneously increasing primary productivity.

Detailed information on the dispersion profile within a room is required to design active protection systems and to develop countermeasure strategies against potential threats from particulate based agents. A number of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes in the public and commercial domain can simulate contaminant dispersion inside a building. One of the critical boundary conditions required by these CFD codes is a resuspension source term model. This paper develops general source term models for particle resuspension from indoor surfaces based on dimensional analysis. First, the physical mechanisms responsible for fine particle resuspension from indoor surfaces are investigated and relevant parameters are identified. Then, three different models are developed using dimensional analysis and published resuspension data in the literature. Finally, the models are evaluated against independent experimental data that were not used to determine the model coefficients.

Shear wave velocity profiles of these sediments are important input parameters for modeling wave propagation and site response in this region. Low-frequency, active-source surface wave velocity measurements were performed to develop small-strain shear wave velocity (VS ) profiles at eleven deep soil sites in the Mississippi embayment, from north of New Madrid, Missouri to Memphis, Tennessee. A servo-hydraulic, low-frequency source was used to excite surface wave energy to wavelengths of 600m, resulting in VS profiles to depths of over 200m. The average VS profile calculated from the eleven sites is in good agreement with common reference VS profiles that have been used in seismic hazard studies of this region. The variability in VS profiles is shown to be associated with changes in formation depth and thickness from site-to-site. Using lithologic information at each site, average formation velocities were developed and compared to previous studies. We found average VS values of about 193m/s for alluvial deposits, 400m/s for the Upper Claiborne formations, and 685m/s for the Memphis Sand formation.

Infection with EBOV causes a high mortality rate and currently there is no FDA-licensed vaccine or therapeutic treatment available. Recently, heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a molecular chaperone, was shown to be an important host factor for the replication of several negative-strand viruses. We tested the effect of several different Hsp90 inhibitors including geldanamycin, radicicol, and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; a geldanamycin analog) on the replication of Zaire EBOV. Our results showed that inhibition of Hsp90 significantly reduced the replication of EBOV. Classic Hsp90 inhibitors reduced viral replication with an effective concentration at 50% (EC50) in the high nanomolar to low micromolar range, while drugs from a new class of Hsp90 inhibitors showed markedly more potent inhibition. These compounds blocked EBOV replication with an EC50 in the low nanomolar range and showed significant potency in blocking replication in primary human monocytes. These results validated that Hsp90 is an important host factor for the replication of filoviruses and suggest that Hsp90 inhibitors may be therapeutically effective in treating EBOV infection.

T1 - Manning’s equation and two-dimensional flow analogs JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2010/07/28/ VL - 389 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 177 EP - 185 SN - 00221694 AB - Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) flow models based on the well-known governing 2D flow equations are applied to floodplain analysis purposes. These 2D models numerically solve the governing flow equations simultaneously or explicitly on a discretization of the floodplain using grid tiles or similar tile cell geometry, called “elements”. By use of automated information systems such as digital terrain modeling, digital elevation models, and GIS, large-scale topographic floodplain maps can be readily discretized into thousands of elements that densely cover the floodplain in an edge-to-edge form. However, the assumed principal flow directions of the flow model analog, as applied across an array of elements, typically do not align with the floodplain flow streamlines. This paper examines the mathematical underpinnings of a four-direction flow analog using an array of square elements with respect to floodplain flow streamlines that are not in alignment with the analog’s principal flow directions. It is determined that application of Manning’s equation to estimate the friction slope terms of the governing flow equations, in directions that are not coincident with the flow streamlines, may introduce a bias in modeling results, in the form of slight underestimation of flow depths. It is also determined that the maximum theoretical bias, occurs when a single square element is rotated by about 13°, and not 45° as would be intuitively thought. The bias as a function of rotation angle for an array of square elements follows approximately the bias for a single square element. For both the theoretical single square element and an array of square elements, the bias as a function of alignment angle follows a relatively constant value from about 5° to about 85°, centered at about 45°. This bias was first noted about a decade prior to the present paper, and the magnitude of this bias was estimated then to be about 20% at about 10° misalignment. An adjustment of Manning’s n is investigated based on a considered steady state uniform flow problem, but the magnitude of the adjustment (about 20%) is on the order of the magnitude of the accepted ranges of friction factors. For usual cases where random streamline trajectory variability within the floodplain flow is greater than a few degrees from perfect alignment, the apparent bias appears to be implicitly included in the Manning’s n values. It can be concluded that the array of square elements may be applied over the digital terrain model without respect to topographic flow directions.

Two hypergolic compounds, dimethylamino-2-ethylazide (DMAZ) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine (TMEDA), have been identified as possible replacements for MMH. We have obtained genotoxicity data for these compounds from in vitro and in vivo studies. DMAZ did not produce any mutagenic effects at concentrations up to 5mg/plate in the TA98 and TA1537 strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in an Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA) strain, with or without metabolic activation, but did produce a positive response in the TA100 and TA1535 strains, both with and without metabolic activation. TMEDA was found not to be mutagenic in any of the bacterial strains tested (Salmonella TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli, WP2 uvrA), with or without metabolic activation. DMAZ did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations at levels up to 5mg/mL in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, with or without metabolic activation. TMEDA produced a positive response in this system, with or without metabolic activation, but only at the highest concentration, 5mg/mL. However, according to the OECD guideline TG 473, the compound is considered to be negative in the CHO chromosomal aberration assay, since the compound was not clastogenic at 0.01M (1.140mg/mL). DMAZ and TMEDA, when tested in vivo in the CD-1 mouse at doses up to 500 and 250mg/kg, respectively, did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow erythrocytes. These studies demonstrate that DMAZ is mutagenic in specific strains of Salmonella. However, both compounds were negative for induction of chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells in vitro and in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.

T1 - Toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene to terrestrial plants in natural soils JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2010/07/15/ VL - 408 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 3193 EP - 3199 SN - 00489697 AB - Abstract: The presence of energetic materials (used as explosives and propellants) at contaminated sites is a growing international issue, particularly with respect to military base closures and demilitarization policies. Improved understanding of the ecotoxicological effects of these materials is needed in order to accurately assess the potential exposure risks and impacts on the environment and its ecosystems. We studied the toxicity of the nitroaromatic energetic material 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli L. Beauv.), and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) using four natural soils varying in properties (organic matter, clay content, and pH) that were hypothesized to affect chemical bioavailability and toxicity. Amended soils were subjected to natural light conditions, and wetting and drying cycles in a greenhouse for 13weeks prior to toxicity testing to approximate field exposure conditions in terms of bioavailability, transformation, and degradation of 2,4-DNT. Definitive toxicity tests were performed according to standard protocols. The median effective concentration (EC50) values for shoot dry mass ranged from 8 to 229mg kg−1, depending on the plant species and soil type. Data indicated that 2,4-DNT was most toxic in the Sassafras (SSL) and Teller (TSL) sandy loam soils, with EC50 values for shoot dry mass ranging between 8 to 44mg kg−1, and least toxic in the Webster clay loam soil, with EC50 values for shoot dry mass ranging between 40 to 229mg kg−1. The toxicity of 2,4-DNT for each of the plant species was significantly (p ≤0.05) and inversely correlated with the soil organic matter content. Toxicity benchmark values determined in the present studies for 2,4-DNT weathered-and-aged in SSL or TSL soils will contribute to development of an Ecological Soil Screening Level for terrestrial plants that can be used for ecological risk assessment at contaminated sites.

Ten-day median lethal concentrations (LC50s) were 2.3 and 2.5mgL−1, the 10-d median lethal residue value (LR50) was 26.1μmolkg−1 wet weight (ww), and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 0.7 to 2.4Lkg−1. The lethal effects of TNT and its transformation products 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT) and trinitrobenzene (TNB) to JSHM were compared in 5-d static-renewal exposures. Nitroreduction decreased the toxicity of TNT to SHM, as the 5-d LC50 for 2-ADNT was 8.6mgL−1 and the lowest lethal concentration of 2,4-DANT was 50.3mgL−1. TNB (5-d LC50=1.2mgL−1) was more toxic than TNT to SHM. The 5-d LR50s were 4.3mgkg−1 ww (20.4μmolkg−1) for SumTNT (TNT exposure) and 54.2mgkg−1 ww (275.3μmolkg−1) for 2-ADNT and significant mortality occurred at 47.4mgkg−1 ww (283.6μmolkg−1). The range of BCF values was from 1.8 to 2.4, 5.6 to 8.0, and 0.6 to 0.9Lkg−1 for TNT, 2-ADNT, and 2,4-DANT, respectively.

The density and viscosity of brine solutions are experimentally investigated and functional forms fit over a wide range of mass fractions. A density of 1.7 times, and a corresponding viscosity of 6.3 times, that of water is obtained at a calcium bromide mass fraction of 0.53. A three-dimensional laboratory cell is used to investigate the establishment, persistence, and rate of removal of a stratified dense brine layer in a controlled system. Results from a field-scale experiment performed at the Dover National Test Site are used to investigate the ability to establish and maintain a dense brine layer as a component of a DNAPL recovery strategy, and to recover the brine at sufficiently high mass fractions to support the economical reuse of the brine. The results of both laboratory and field experiments show that a dense brine layer can be established, maintained, and recovered to a significant extent. Regions of unstable density profiles are shown to develop and persist in the field-scale experiment, which we attribute to regions of low hydraulic conductivity. The saturated–unsaturated, variable-density groundwater flow simulation code SUTRA is modified to describe the system of interest, and used to compare simulations to experimental observations and to investigate certain unobserved aspects of these complex systems. The model results show that the standard model formulation is not appropriate for capturing the behavior of sharp density gradients observed during the dense brine experiments.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 30 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 603 EP - 608 SN - 02775212 AB - We examined the genetic population structure of Spartina alterniflora in Jamaica Bay, Queens, NY and the surrounding area in order to assist the ongoing restoration of Jamaica Bay. AMOVA (Analysis of Molecular Variance) indicated that population differences accounted for 15% of molecular variance ( ΦPT = 0.15, p = 0.001). Observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged from 0.61 to 0.73 among populations. A Mantel test indicated a weak and non-significant correlation between pairwise ΦPT and geographic distance matrices ( r = 0.34, p = 0.12). A PCA revealed no obvious grouping pattern for sampled populations. Based on these data, we determined that the studied populations contained similar genetic variability to other populations in the New York vicinity and to those of the entire region. It seems likely that collection of germplasm from within the region will prove sufficient in maintaining overall genetic variation in restoration plantings. Given the small amount of genetic structure among populations within Jamaica Bay, however, it would be prudent to collect widely within the target marsh. We also recommend the practice of propagating plugs of S. alterniflora from wild seed, as opposed to using vegetative cuttings, when creating planting stock, in order to maximize genetic diversity in restored marshes.

When deconstruction occurs, effective planning begins to take advantage of all technologies and processes available for recycling and reuse along with emerging markets for transformed C&D materials and secondary products. The data collected and analysed in this paper suggests that the benefits of increasing C&D diversion rates resulting primarily from deconstruction projects will have tremendous positive impacts upon a sustainable future, which includes energy production, virgin materials, end items, processed materials and reduced global warming. Deconstruction projects of the Department of Defense (DoD) military installations are analysed in detail in this paper. Although the DoD has been pioneering many C&D solid waste management projects to reap the benefits of high diversion rates from landfills, there have been discernible efforts by industry to attain diversion rates as high as 90% in many instances.

Sub-aerial transport processes are represented, whereas sub-aqueous transport is neglected. The system is tightly coupled morphologically, with the berm playing a central role. For example, the potential for sand to be transported to the dune by wind depends on berm width, and sand lost in erosion of the dune during storms can widen the berm. Morphologic equilibrium considerations are introduced to improve reliability of predictions and stability of the non-linear model. An analytical solution is given under simplification to illustrate properties of the model. Sensitivity tests with the numerical solution of the coupled equations demonstrate model performance, with one test exploring beach and dune response to potential increase in storm-wave height with global warming. Finally, the numerical model is applied to examine the consequences of groin shortening at Westhampton Beach, Long Island, New York, as an alternative for providing a sand supply to the down-drift beach. Results indicate that the sand will be released over several decades as the shoreline and dune move landward in adjustment to the new equilibrium condition with the shortened groins.

A risk-based decision model was developed to assess the likelihood of zebra mussel invasion and establishment throughout the St. Croix Basin. The risk-based decision model CASMZM is a version of the comprehensive aquatic systems model (CASM) and that was modified to simulate the growth, reproduction, and spatial distribution of zebra mussels. As a risk management tool, the model simulates the population dynamical complexity of zebra mussel populations, as well as their impacts on phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, fish and natural mussel populations. The CASMZM is based in part on a set of zebra mussel''s physical–chemical habitat requirements such as calcium concentration (17mg/L), total hardness (57.5mg/L), conductivity (62μS/cm), dissolved oxygen concentration (6mg/L), salinity (7PSU), pH (6.8 and 9.4), Secchi disk depths (75 and 205cm), and water temperatures for growth (14°C) and reproduction (30°C). The CASMZM also includes a bioenergetics framework that describes the growth of zebra mussels and their trophic impacts on aquatic food webs. The CASMZM can be used to forecast the risk of successful dreissenid invasions and assess the associated impacts of invasive mussels on food web dynamics of previously uninfested aquatic systems throughout the St. Croix Basin.

JO - Ecotoxicology JF - Ecotoxicology Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 19 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 945 EP - 952 SN - 09639292 AB - 2-Amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT) is a metabolite of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) which is present in the soil at numerous U.S. Army installations as the result of TNT manufacture or training activities. Although many avian species are known to inhabit areas where 2A-DNT has been found in the environment, no published studies of the effects of 2A-DNT exposure in birds are available. In this study, we conducted an evaluation of the oral toxicity of 2A-DNT in a representative ground foraging species of management concern, the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Subacute (14 days) and subchronic (60 days) oral gavage exposure studies were conducted following determination of the median acute lethal dose (LD50 = 1167 mg/kg). In the subacute study, survival occurred at 50 mg/kg/day. This helped to determine dose groups for the subchronic study: 0, 0.5, 3, 14, and 30 mg 2A-DNT/kg body weight-d in corn oil. The lowest observed adverse effects level (LOAEL) was determined to be 14 mg/kg/day based on mortality, and the no observed adverse effects level (NOAEL) was determined to be 3 mg/kg/day based on lack of effects at this exposure level.

We observed decreased survival, reproduction, and oxygen consumption in Daphnia magna at realistic loading rates. In experiments with the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea), soft tissue dry weight and tissue condition index were not significantly different among control and MWCF exposed treatments; however, using a 15N labeled alga as food, we observed decreased nitrogen turnover in tissues of clams exposed to MWCF, suggesting lower filtering or ingestion rates. Our findings combined with previous demonstrations of MWCF toxicity to green algae suggest that over a period of several months, bivalve growth may be inhibited, and cladoceran populations may be even more strongly affected by MWCF. Given that these fibers are persistent, further experiments should be conducted to determine the longer-term effects of contamination of water bodies with MWCF.

The goal of this paper is to present a framework that can be used to convert concentrations of PAHs in environmental media (e.g., water, food, and sediment) to a dose metric that is predictive of adverse effects. Examples of toxicity studies that can be considered within the framework are presented. Additional toxicity studies are needed to establish the potency and range of toxic responses to mixtures of PAHs that fish encounter in the environment.

JO - Journal of Biochemical & Molecular Toxicology JF - Journal of Biochemical & Molecular Toxicology Y1 - 2010/05// VL - 24 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 155 EP - 164 SN - 10956670 AB - Cutaneous and ocular injuries caused by sulfur mustard (SM; bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfide) are characterized by severe inflammation and death of exposed cells. Given the known roles of p38MAPK and NF-κB in inflammatory cytokine production, and the known roles of NF-κB and p53 in cell fate, these pathways are of particular interest in the study of SM injury. In this study, we utilized inhibitory RNA (RNAi) targeted against p38α, the p50 subunit of NF-κB, or p53 to characterize their role in SM-induced inflammation and cell death in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). Analysis of culture supernatant from 200 μM SM-exposed cells showed that inflammatory cytokine production was inhibited by p38α RNAi but not by NF-κB p50 RNAi. These findings further support a critical role for p38 in SM-induced inflammatory cytokine production in NHEK and suggest that NF-κB may not play a role in the SM-induced inflammatory response of this cell type. Inhibition of NF-κB by p50 RNAi did, however, partially inhibit SM-induced cell death, suggesting a role for NF-κB in SM-induced apoptosis or necrosis. Interestingly, inhibition of p53 by RNAi potentiated SM-induced cell death, suggesting that the role of p53 in SM injury, may be complex and not simply prodeath. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

However, the existing AMR technology does not satisfy the seamless demodulation requirement of the SDR. A novel design of the AMR method with reduced computational complexity and fast processing speed is needed. This paper describes a discrete likelihood-ratio test (DLRT)-based rapid-estimation approach to identifying the modulation schemes blindly for uninterrupted data demodulation in real time. The statistical performance of the fast AMR associated with its implementation using the SDR is presented.

Findings The wild-type strain of 9NA could not grow in acidified marine broth below a pH of 5. The pH of marine broth did not drop below this level until at least 20.8 mM of CO2 was injected into the medium. 9NA did not grow at this CO2 concentration or higher concentrations (31.2 and 41.6 mM) for at least 72 h. Carbon dioxide at 10.4 mM also inhibited growth, but the bacterium was able to recover and grow. Exposure to CO2 caused the cell to undergo a morphological change and form a dimple-like structure The membrane was also damaged but with no protein leakage.

Clinical management and antibiotic susceptibility patterns were also evaluated. By 2007, ~67% of S. aureus strains were MRSA, and ~82% of these were community-associated, primarily in trainees. In total, 3531 CA-MRSA infections were identified. Rates appeared to be seasonal, peaking at 42 cases/1000 soldiers in 2005, with rates remaining above 35/1000 soldiers thereafter. Increased prescription of effective antibiotics was documented. Susceptibility to clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin decreased from 2002 to 2007 by 6%, 17%, and 14%, respectively. The sustained high prevalence of CA-MRSA observed highlights the need for more vigilant population-based counter-measures at military training installations.

T1 - Effects of growth conditions and NAPL presence on transport of Pseudomonas saccharophilia P15 through porous media JO - Water Research JF - Water Research Y1 - 2010/05// VL - 44 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2793 EP - 2802 SN - 00431354 AB - Abstract: Extensive research has been done to characterize transport of bacteria in porous media; however, little is understood on how the presence of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) coupled with the growth state and carbon source of bacteria affect bacterial transport. The objective of this research is to quantify the bacterial adhesion of Pseudomonas saccharophilia P15 (P15), which is known to biodegrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and to interact with coal tars, within a NAPL–water–mineral system. Through a series of short-pulse column experiments, the transport and deposition of P15 in porous media (quartz sand) as a function of growth state and carbon sources (peptone and naphthalene), and in the presence and absence of residual NAPL (hexadecane), is measured and evaluated. Coating 20% of the quartz grain with hexadecane as a model NAPL increased the retention of P15 by as much as a factor of 26 as compared to the retention exhibited in quartz sand with no NAPL present. P15 grown on peptone and in the late exponential growth state exhibited a greater amount of deposition within the hexadecane column than when it was grown on naphthalene or was in early exponential growth phase. During early growth stage P15 grown on naphthalene adhered stronger to the porous media compared to when grown on peptone. Results were compared with results of MATH assays, where P15 partitioning to hexadecane was evaluated as a function of carbon source and growth state.

Here we evaluate the effects of environmental exposures typically associated with asthma protection or risk on the microbial community structure of household dust (dogs, cats, and day care). PCR-denaturing gradient gel analysis (PCR-DGGE) demonstrated that the bacterial community structure in house dust is significantly impacted by the presence of dogs or cats in the home (P = 0.0190 and 0.0029, respectively) and by whether or not children attend day care (P = 0.0037). In addition, significant differences in the dust bacterial community were associated with asthma outcomes in young children, including wheezing (P = 0.0103) and specific IgE (P = 0.0184). Our findings suggest that specific bacterial populations within the community are associated with either risk or protection from asthma.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 499 EP - 505 SN - 02755947 AB - A substantial percentage of the Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. and steelhead O. mykiss smolts that emigrate to the ocean each year are smaller than 110 mm (fork length). However, relatively few researchers have implanted acoustic transmitters in fish of this size, and none have reported minimum fish lengths below 110 mm for which the tag burden did not negatively influence growth or survival. The influence of a surgically implanted acoustic microtransmitter and a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag on the growth and survival of hatchery-reared juvenile Chinook salmon was examined over a period of 30 d. Growth and survival were compared between treatment (tagged) and control (untagged) fish within three size-groups (80-89, 90-99, and 100-109 mm). The acoustic microtransmitter and PIT tag implanted in our study had a combined weight of 0.74 g; the combined tag burden for implanted fish ranged from 4.5% to 15.7%. The results indicated that growth and survival among implanted juvenile Chinook salmon were size dependent. Significant differences in growth rate and survival were observed between treatment and control fish in the 80-89-mm group. The survival of implanted fish smaller than 11.1 g (tag burden, >6.7%) and the growth of fish smaller than 9.0 g (tag burden, >8.2%) were negatively affected by the implantation or presence of an acoustic microtransmitter and PIT tag. The results of this study will aid researchers in determining the minimum fish size suitable for use in acoustic telemetry studies that estimate the short-term (30-d) survival and growth of juvenile salmonids.

This situation provided an opportunity to evaluate in situ environmental and interspecific heterogeneity in shell and tissue growth. Shell dry weight, carbon content, and shell strength of D. polymorpha from the four spatially discrete water masses differed significantly. For instance, D. polymorpha total and tissue mass increased over the summer in the shallow fluvial Lac Saint-Pierre but decreased in the upstream and downstream water masses. Standardized shell mass and strength of D. polymorpha was lowest where the mussels experienced salinity or low calcium. Although the response pattern of mass and glycogen content for D. polymorpha was spatially complex, mussels from the stressful oligohaline estuary population had the weakest shells and lowest glycogen content, even though their standardized tissue mass was the heaviest. This disparity in shell and tissue response suggests that some aspect of shell physiology alone may be limiting these mussels in estuarine environments. Tissue characteristics of D. polymorpha and D. bugensis were similar at the site where both were present, but the shell strength of D. bugensis was only equivalent to the weakest of D. polymorpha. We also conclude that lighter shells might make D. bugensis more susceptible to predation or mechanical damage but may also offer a bioenergetic advantage that is contributing to its rapid displacement of D. polymorpha where the two species co-occur.

The initial and latent survival of shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus was assessed after exposure to a modified endoscopic technique designed to collect that biological information. Rather than inserting the endoscope through the urogenital canal or directly into the body cavity, we inserted a threaded trocar through a ventral incision and used a low-pressure air supply attached to the trocar to gently insufflate the body cavity. The initial survival of both experimental and control shovelnose sturgeon was 100%. Latent survival was 100% and 90% for the experimental and control fish, respectively. Our study suggests that incision endoscopy coupled with insufflation of the body cavity through the use of a trocar and an air supply is a safe and effective way to determine gender and examine the gonad developmental stage of shovelnose sturgeon. The short duration of the procedure and the high postprocedure survival suggest that this technique is suitable for shovelnose sturgeon and perhaps for the evaluation of other endangered fish species (e.g., pallid sturgeon S. alba) as well.

The Ricinus communis genome encodes seven full-length ricin family members. All encoded proteins have the ability of hydrolyzing adenine in 28S rRNA. As expected, these proteins also inhibited an in vitro transcription/translation system. These data show that the ricin gene family contains at least seven members that have the ability to inhibit translation and that may contribute to the toxicity of R. communis.

Utilizing anthrax protective antigen as a model antigen, we demonstrate that electroporation mediated delivery enhanced the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines in nonhuman primates over 100-fold as compared to conventional intramuscular injection. Two administrations of a DNA vaccine with electroporation elicited anthrax toxin neutralizing antibody responses in 100% of rhesus macaques. Toxin neutralizing antibodies were sustained for the nearly 1-year study duration and were correlated with protection against subsequent lethal Bacillus anthracis spore challenge. Collectively, electroporation mediated DNA vaccination conferred protection comparable to that observed following vaccination with an FDA approved anthrax vaccine.

The Experimental Biology 2009 symposium entitled "Nanotechnology Research: Applications in Nutritional Sciences" was organized to highlight emerging applications of nanotechnology to the food and nutrition sciences, as well as to suggest ways for further integration of these emerging technologies into nutrition research. Speakers focused on topics that included the problems and possibilities of introducing nanoparticles in clinical or nutrition settings, nanotechnology applications for increasing bioavailability of bioactive food components in new food products, nanotechnology opportunities in food science, as well as emerging safety and regulatory issues in this area, and the basic research applications such as the use of quantum dots to visualize cellular processes and protein-protein interactions. The session highlighted several emerging areas of potential utility in nutrition research. Nutrition scientists are encouraged to leverage ongoing efforts in nanomedicine through collaborations. These efforts could facilitate exploration of previously inaccessible cellular compartments and intracellular pathways and thus uncover strategies for new prevention and therapeutic modalities [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Nutrition is the property of American Society for Nutrition and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In standard JPM implementations, it is necessary to consider a very large number of combinations of storm parameters, and each such combination (or synthetic storm) requires the simulation of wind, waves, and surge. The tools used to model the wave and surge phenomena have improved greatly in recent years, but this improvement and the use of very large high-resolution grids have made the computations both time-consuming and expensive. In order to ease the computational burden, two independent approaches have been developed to reduce the number of storm surge simulations that are required. Both of these so-called JPM-OS (JPM-Optimal Sampling) methods seek to accurately cover the entire storm parameter space through optimum selection of a small number of parameter values so as to minimize the number of required storm simulations. Tests done for the Mississippi coast showed that the accuracy of the two methods is comparable to that of a full JPM analysis, with a reduction of an order of magnitude or more in the computational effort.

Storm surge surrounded the polder that comprises heavily populated sections of the Parish in addition to the Lower 9th Ward section of Orleans Parish. Surge propagated along several pathways to reach levees and walls around the polder''s periphery. Extreme water levels led to breaches in the levee/wall system which, along with wave overtopping and steady overflow, led to considerable flood water entering the polder. Generation and evolution of the storm surge as it propagated into the region is examined using results from the SL15 regional application of the ADCIRC storm surge model. Fluxes of water into the region through navigation channels are compared to fluxes which entered through Lake Borgne and over inundated wetlands surrounding the lake. Fluxes through Lake Borgne and adjacent wetlands were found to be the predominant source of water reaching the region. Various sources of flood water along the polder periphery are examined. Flood water primarily entered through the east and west sides of the polder. Different peak surges and hydrograph shapes were experienced along the polder boundaries, and reasons for the spatial variability in surge conditions are discussed.

The purpose of the 1350m2 physical model that represented about 3.4km2 of the local area was to aid in defining wave and water velocity conditions in the 17th Street Canal during the time period leading up to the breaching of the floodwall within the Canal. In the immediate period following this disaster, there were many hypothesis of failure put forth in the media. Some of these hypothesis indicated wave action may have been the underlying cause of the failure of the 17th Street Canal floodwall. Some performed numerical work with inappropriate boundary conditions, which indicated strong wave-generated currents may have caused erosion along the floodwalls. This physical model study indicated a number of wave-attenuating processes occurring as waves approached the location of the breach. Wave height reduction resulted due to: (1) refraction of wave energy over the shallower submerged land areas surrounding the harbor away from the canal; (2) reflection of energy off vertical walls in the region between the entrance to the canal near the Coast Guard Harbor and the bridge; and (3) interaction of the wave with the Hammond Highway bridge, including reflection and transmission loss. Wave heights near the lakeside of the bridge were 0.3–0.9m in height, reduced from 1.8 to 2.7m wave heights in the open lake. Waves on the south side of the bridge, near the breach, were further reduced to heights below 0.3m. These results supported the conclusion that waves were not a significant factor for the 17th Street Canal floodwall failure. Other IPET investigations determined floodwall failure was of a geotechnical nature due to the high surge water level. The physical model also provided calibration information for numerical wave models. The effects of debris on flow and waves after the breach was formed were also investigated.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 29 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2769 EP - 2776 SN - 07307268 AB - The volume of sediment required to perform a sediment toxicity bioassay is a major driver of the overall cost associated with that bioassay. Sediment volume affects bioassay cost because of sediment collection, transportation, storage, and disposal costs as well as labor costs associated with organism recovery at the conclusion of the exposure. The objective of the current study was to evaluate reduced sediment volume versions of the standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 10-d acute Leptocheirus plumulosus method that uses a beaker size of 1,000 ml and 20 organisms. The test design used evaluated the effects of beaker size (250 and 100 ml) and associated sediment volume (75 and 30 ml, respectively) as well as organism loading density (10 and 20 organisms) on test endpoint responsiveness relative to the standard 10-d test method. These comparisons were completed with three different types of contaminated sediments: a field-collected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sediment, a lead-spiked control sediment, and a control sediment spiked with mineral oil. Assessment criteria included test endpoint sensitivity, endpoint consistency, statistical power, water quality, and logistical assessments. Results indicate that the current U.S. EPA method is preferable to the reduced sediment volume methods we assessed, but that a 250-ml beaker/10 organism experimental design is of comparable utility and may be advantageous when reduced sediment volumes are desirable because of high contaminant (spiking studies) or sediment disposal costs. In addition, the results of the current study provide toxicity reference values for PAHs, lead, and an oil surrogate for petroleum hydrocarbons. Environ. Toxicol.

A paucity of data exists for retention and clearance of these particles in the bird gastrointestinal tract. In the current study, northern bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus) were orally gavaged with 1, 5, or 10 Pb shot pellets, of 2-mm diameter, and radiographically followed over time. Blood Pb levels and other measures of toxicity were collected, to correlate with pellet retention. Quail dosed with either 5 or 10 pellets exhibited morbidity between weeks 1 and 2 and were removed from further study. Most of the Pb pellets were absorbed or excreted within 14 d of gavage, independent of dose. Pellet size in the ventriculus decreased over time in radiographs, suggesting dissolution caused by the acidic pH. Birds dosed with one pellet showed mean blood Pb levels that exceeded 1,300 µg/dl at week 1, further supporting dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract. Limited signs of toxicity were seen in the one-pellet birds; however, plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (d-ALAD) activity was persistently depressed, suggesting possible impaired hematological function.

Soil burial tests were carried out over 8 weeks. Weight loss measurements, photographic analysis, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were conducted to assess the physical, structural, mechanical and thermal behavior before and after the soil burial test. Paper showed the highest physical degradation and weight loss. With respect to the control samples, the stiffness of the partially degraded samples decreased. The overall crystallinity of the biopolymer and the coated paper was affected significantly by burial. The pure biopolymer's weight loss was substantially enhanced when coated on paper. This result reveals a possible increased microbial population in the coated paper relative to the pure biopolymer.

A literature review screening was performed to identify low-cost natural mineral-based metal sorbents and high-performance commercial sorbents that were carried forward into laboratory experiments. Aqueous phase metal sorptivity of the selected sorbents was evaluated because dissolved metals in sediment porewater constitute an important route of exposure to benthic organisms. Based on pH-edge sorption test results, natural sorbents were eliminated due to inferior performance. The potential as in situ sediment amendment was explored by comparing the sorption properties of the engineered amendments in freshwater and saltwater (10 PPT salinity estuarine water) matrices. Self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports with thiols (Thiol-SAMMS™) and a titanosilicate mineral (ATS™) demonstrated the highest sorption capacity for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), respectively. Sequential extraction tests conducted after mixing engineered sorbents with contaminated sediment demonstrated transfer of metal contaminants from a weakly bound state to a more strongly bound state. Biouptake of Cd in a freshwater oligochaete was reduced by 98% after 5-d contact of sediment with 4% Thiol-SAMMS and sorbed Cd was not bioavailable. While treatment with ATS reduced the small easily extractable portion of Pb in the sediment, the change in biouptake of Pb was not significant because most of the native lead was strongly bound. The selected sorbents added to sediments at a dose of 5% were mostly nontoxic to a range of sensitive freshwater and estuarine benthic organisms. Metal sorbent amendments in conjunction with activated carbon have the potential to simultaneously reduce metal and hydrophobic contaminant bioavailability in sediments. Environ. Toxicol.

Sediments from lake and Rochester Harbor (lower Genesee River) areas were investigated. Congeners 47, 66, 85, 99 and 100 were detected in tissues of the oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus. Biota-sediment accumulation factors ranged from 3.95 (congener 154) to 19.5 (congener 28) and were higher at the Lake Ontario area. The lower biota-sediment accumulation factors for the Rochester Harbor sediment may result from a higher fraction of black carbon generally expected in highly urbanized rivers. Degree of bromination may reduce bioavailability.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/07// VL - 29 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1575 EP - 1580 SN - 07307268 AB - Nano-sized aluminum is currently being used by the military and commercial industries in many applications including coatings, thermites, and propellants. Due to the potential for wide dispersal in soil systems, we chose to investigate the fate and effects of nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), the oxidized form of nano aluminum, in a terrestrial organism. The toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of micron-sized (50–200 µm, nominal) and nano-sized (11 nm, nominal) Al2O3 was comparatively assessed through acute and subchronic bioassays using the terrestrial earthworm, Eisenia fetida. Subchronic (28-d) studies were performed exposing E. fetida to nano- and micron-sized Al2O3-spiked soils to assess the effects of long-term exposure. No mortality occurred in subchronic exposures, although reproduction decreased at ≥3,000 mg/kg nano-sized Al2O3 treatments, with higher aluminum body burdens observed at 100 and 300 mg/kg; no reproductive effects were observed in the micron-sized Al2O3 treatments. In addition to toxicity and bioaccumulation bioassays, an acute (48-h) behavioral bioassay was conducted utilizing a soil avoidance wheel in which E. fetida were given a choice of habitat between control, nano-, or micron-sized Al2O3 amended soils. In the soil avoidance bioassays, E. fetida exhibited avoidance behavior toward the highest concentrations of micron- and nano-sized Al2O3 (>5,000 mg/kg) relative to control soils. Results of the present study indicate that nano-sized Al2O3 may impact reproduction and behavior of E. fetida, although at high levels unlikely to be found in the environment. Environ. Toxicol.

Elevated concentrations were found for inorganic contaminants (including As, Fe, Pb, and V), several organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and volatiles) and high concentration of bioaerosols, particularly Aeromonas and Vibrio. Data from different research groups confirm that some contaminant concentrations are elevated, that existing concentrations are similar to historical data, and that contaminants such as Pb and As may pose human health risks. Two data sets have been compiled in this article to serve as the foundation for preliminary risk assessments within greater New Orleans. Research from the present study suggests that children in highly contaminated areas of New Orleans may experience Pb exposure from soil ranging from 1.37 µg/d to 102 µg/d. These data are critical in the evaluation of children's health. Environ. Toxicol.

Ten-day median lethal concentrations (LC50s) were 2.3 and 2.5mgL−1, the 10-d median lethal residue value (LR50) was 26.1μmolkg−1 wet weight (ww), and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 0.7 to 2.4Lkg−1. The lethal effects of TNT and its transformation products 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT) and trinitrobenzene (TNB) to JSHM were compared in 5-d static-renewal exposures. Nitroreduction decreased the toxicity of TNT to SHM, as the 5-d LC50 for 2-ADNT was 8.6mgL−1 and the lowest lethal concentration of 2,4-DANT was 50.3mgL−1. TNB (5-d LC50=1.2mgL−1) was more toxic than TNT to SHM. The 5-d LR50s were 4.3mgkg−1 ww (20.4μmolkg−1) for SumTNT (TNT exposure) and 54.2mgkg−1 ww (275.3μmolkg−1) for 2-ADNT and significant mortality occurred at 47.4mgkg−1 ww (283.6μmolkg−1). The range of BCF values was from 1.8 to 2.4, 5.6 to 8.0, and 0.6 to 0.9Lkg−1 for TNT, 2-ADNT, and 2,4-DANT, respectively.

T1 - Fate and effects of Composition B in multispecies marine exposures. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 29 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1330 EP - 1337 SN - 07307268 AB - The vast majority of investigations into the bioavailability and toxicity of explosives to receptors in aquatic environments has focused on deriving toxicity metrics for discrete chemical exposures to single species using pure compounds at relatively high concentrations. This study assessed the environmental fate and potential for biological effects of a common military formulation, Composition B, under more realistic exposure scenarios (e.g., those that more closely simulate a breached artillery round or residual exposure following a low-order detonation). We used a novel approach incorporating multiple species and toxicity endpoints in sediment exposures over a 34-d exposure period. Composition B fragments exposed at the sediment surface rapidly released 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the overlying water column. In comparison, burial of fragments resulted in dramatically reduced exposure, bioconcentration, and toxicity. The addition of a conservative flow rate to the aquaria also reduced water and tissue concentrations by factors of two to three. Although the exposure system likely represented a worst-case scenario relative to most conditions found in coastal and estuarine environments, overlying water concentrations generally did not approach known toxicity thresholds, while porewater concentrations were sufficiently elevated above toxicity thresholds immediately adjacent to the fragments, limiting hazardous exposure only to very localized scales. Bioconcentration correlated closely with observed toxicity and was either not detectable (buried), or low (exposed), as is expected based on the low hydrophobicities of TNT and RDX. Environ. Toxicol.

It is unclear however whether such international awareness will lead to improved environmental management in many regions. We explore this issue by examining the specific case of fish migration and dams on the Mekong river. We determine that dams on the Mekong mainstem and major tributaries will have a major impact on the basin's fisheries and the people who depend upon them for food and income. We find no evidence that current moves towards dam construction will stop, and consider two scenarios for the future of the fisheries and other ecosystems of the basin. We conclude that major investment is required in innovative technology to reduce the loss of ecosystem services, and alternative livelihood strategies to cope with the losses that do occur.

This paper discusses runoff and sediment transport from compost mulch berms on a simulated military training landscape. The berms were constructed using mixtures of municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and sub-soil (SL) in eight different proportions at Hazel Green, North Alabama, in Fall 2006. Berms made from 100% soil, which had over 140 000 L ha-1 of runoff and 13.3 kg ha-1 of sediment transport over the study period, had the greatest risk of causing off-site negative environmental effects. Berms made from 100% PB and 100% WC or combinations of compost materials without soil had the lowest risk of causing environmental pollution from runoff and sediment transport. Compared to soil, compost mulches can significantly reduce negative environmental effects to downstream ecosystems when used for berm construction on military training ranges. However, measures to minimize transport of C and N in runoff sediment, such as planting grass cover crops, need to be evaluated to make the technology more environmentally sustainable.

Bioaccumulation did not change significantly over time for TNT but apparent steady-state was not reached for DDT at exposure termination after 7 days of dietary exposure. The bioaccumulation factor was 0.09 mg/mg for TNT and 0.34 mg/mg for DDT, confirming the low potential of TNT to bioaccumulate in fish.

JO - Journal of Water Resources Planning & Management JF - Journal of Water Resources Planning & Management Y1 - 2010/05// VL - 136 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 366 EP - 375 SN - 07339496 AB - The modification of land and water resources for human use alters the natural hydrologic flow regime of a downstream receiving body of water. The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium within the ecosystem. Best management practices mitigate the increased storm water runoff due to increased imperviousness and are typically designed and located within a watershed to match peak and minimum flows for a small set of targeted design storms. Ecosystems are, however, affected by all the characteristics of a long-term flow regime, including the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows. A more environmentally sustainable approach for watershed development is presented based on the minimization of differences in the characteristics of the flow regime between predevelopment and postdevelopment conditions. The indicator of hydrologic alteration (IHA) is a set of 33 hydrologic indices that characterize a flow regime and, coupled with the range of variability approach (RVA), can be used to evaluate a development strategy for its alteration of the long-term hydrologic flow regime. This paper presents a methodology to identify watershed management strategies that will have a minimal impact on the flow regime and downstream ecosystems. This methodology utilizes a metric that evaluates development strategies based on an IHA/RVA analysis implemented within a simulation-optimization framework. Continuous simulation of urban runoff for different land use strategies is enabled through the use of the storm water management model, and the resulting long-term hydrograph is analyzed using IHA/RVA. Development is allocated within subcatchments to maintain a predefined minimum level of total development while minimizing the hydrologic alteration. A hybrid optimization approach based on genetic algorithm and Nelder-Meade approaches is used to identify optimal land use allocation. Further analysis is conducted to identify alternative development patterns that allocate impervious development maximally differently among subcatchments while achieving similarly low alteration in the hydrologic flow regime.

JO - Archives of Environmental Contamination & Toxicology JF - Archives of Environmental Contamination & Toxicology Y1 - 2010/05// VL - 58 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1040 EP - 1047 SN - 00904341 AB - The use of lead in military and civilian small arms projectiles is widely acknowledged to have resulted in high soil lead concentrations at many small arms ranges. These ranges are often adjacent to wildlife habitat or have become habitat when no longer used. To assess the potential toxicity of lead to terrestrial amphibians in contaminated areas, we exposed 100 red-backed salamanders ( Plethodon cinereus) to either a control soil or one of four soil treatments amended with lead acetate for 28 days. Analytical mean soil concentrations were 14 (control), 553, 1700, 4700, and 9167 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. An additional 60 salamanders were also exposed for 28 days to one of six field-collected soil samples from a small arms range and a skeet range. The field soil concentrations ranged from 11 (background) to 16,967 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Salamander survival was reduced in amended soil treatments of 4700 and 9167 mg/kg by 15% and 80%, respectively. Inappetence was observed at 4700 and 9167 mg/kg and growth decreased in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. Total white blood cells decreased 32% at 4700 mg/kg compared to controls and were 22% lower in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. In contrast, survival was 100% for all field-collected soils with no hematological effects. At 16,967 mg/kg there was evidence of soil avoidance and decreased growth. These data suggest marked differences in toxicity and bioavailability of the lead-amended soil in contrast to the field-collected soil containing lead.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 29 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 998 EP - 1005 SN - 07307268 AB - The uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) from soil by the earthworm Eisenia andrei was examined by using the equilibrium partitioning (EqP) theory and a three-compartment model including soil (S), interstitial water (IW), and earthworms (E). The RDX concentrations were measured using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 8330A and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The S-IW studies were conducted using four natural soils with contrasting physicochemical properties that were hypothesized to affect the bioavailability of RDX. Each soil was amended with nominal RDX concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. The HPLC analysis showed that the IW extracted from soil was saturated with RDX at 80 mg/kg or greater soil concentrations. The calculated S-IW coefficient (Kp) values for RDX ranged from 0.4 to 1.8 ml/g soil, depending on the soil type, and were influenced by the organic matter content. In the IW-E studies, earthworms were exposed to nonlethal RDX concentrations in aqueous media. The uptake of RDX by the earthworms correlated well (r2 = 0.99) with the dissolved RDX concentrations. For the E-S studies, earthworms were exposed to RDX-amended soils used in the S-IW studies. The bioconcentration factors (BCF; ratios of E-to-IW RDX concentrations) were relatively constant (∼5) up to 80 mg/kg soil RDX concentrations, which encompass the RDX saturation limit in the interstitial water of the tested soils. At this concentration range, the RDX uptake from interstitial water was likely dominated by passive diffusion and could be used as an indicator of bioavailability. Other mechanisms may be involved at greater RDX soil concentrations. Environ. Toxicol.

The purpose of this experiment is to assess the response of medaka to aquatic estrogen exposure over the course of 1 year. Each week, three pairs of adult male medaka were exposed separately for 4 days (100% static renewal daily) to 17β-estradiol at a nominal level of 25 μg/l, with a fourth pair of fish exposed separately to an ethanol control. Vitellogenin (VTG) induction was observed each week, with hepatic and plasma VTG levels significantly higher ( P < 0.001) than reported for ethanol control specimens. A significant ( P < 0.001) increasing trend was observed for plasma VTG results over the duration of the study, whereas a decreasing trend ( P = 0.030) of hepatic VTG was evident. A Durbin–Watson test, however, did not demonstrate any serial autocorrelation of hepatic ( d = 1.180) or plasma ( d = 1.311) VTG levels over the duration of the study. Time-series transformations of the hepatic and plasma VTG data did not reveal any significant seasonal or behavioral patterns. However, significant intermittent peaks in VTG production were observed in both tissue types during the study. These data indicate that some consideration must be taken to time long-term medaka exposures (>20 weeks) in order to eliminate any influence of cyclic changes on plasma VTG response. Alternatively, hepatic cytosolic measurement of VTG appears to show a more sensitive response to aquatic estrogen exposure.

Platelets mediate intercellular adhesion and thrombosis during vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia, which suggests a role for antiplatelet agents in modifying disease events.Methods: Children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age with sickle cell anemia were randomly assigned to receive oral prasugrel or placebo for 9 to 24 months. The primary end point was the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome. The secondary end points were the rate of sickle cell-related pain and the intensity of pain, which were assessed daily with the use of pain diaries.Results: A total of 341 patients underwent randomization at 51 sites in 13 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The rate of vaso-occlusive crisis events per person-year was 2.30 in the prasugrel group and 2.77 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.05; P=0.12). There were no significant differences between the groups in the secondary end points of diary-reported events. The safety end points, including the frequency of bleeding events requiring medical intervention, of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic adverse events that occurred while patients were taking prasugrel or placebo, and of discontinuations due to prasugrel or placebo, did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusions: Among children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis was not significantly lower among those who received prasugrel than among those who received placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in the safety findings. (Funded by Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01794000.).

Unfortunately, as events turned out, the victorious U.S. Army of some 8 million men that had fought in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) rapidly demobilized once the surrender of Germany (and later Japan) had been achieved. This in turn left Germany and much of Western Europe, already devastated by the effects of the war on their soil vulnerable to exploitation and possible invasion by the Soviet Army. Maintaining the peace in Europe was a U.S. military that was but a remnant of the mighty U.S. and British military machine that had defeated the Wehrmacht, that had now been whittled down to a mere occupation or constabulary force.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Slavic Military Studies is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

According to the author, Carpatho-Ruthenians' collective narcissism and resentment towards Jews were significant factors in the scapegoating behavior which allowed them to witness the Holocaust without challenging it.

Particular focus is given to factors influencing the Wehrmacht's complicity, including antisemitism, unit culture, and the anti-partisan war. According to the author, this event reveals the systemic nature of Wehrmacht participation in the Jewish Holocaust of 1939-1945 and dispels the myth that such killings were routine and impersonal.

B2C represents a Type III information systems (IS) innovation that integrates IS with core business technologies. Extant studies on Type III innovations have examined organizational and institutional factors, solely or collectively, in explaining adoption, but not how their effects change under shifting environments over time. We develop an integrated model comprising organizational factors (i.e., espoused values and resources) and institutional factors (i.e., normative and mimetic pressures), as well as the moderating influence of shifting environments (i.e., early period and late period demarcated by changes in the environment). Using a piecewise event-history model specification, we examine the adoption of B2C innovations by 93 organizations over time. Our results show that both organizational and institutional factors influence B2C adoption; however, their effects varied with the environmental shifts. Specifically, senior IS executives influenced adoption in the early period whereas bandwagon mimetic pressures and business norms influenced adoption in the late period. The findings of our research demonstrate the importance of explicitly modeling environmental shifts in theorizing organizational adoption of innovations.Journal of Information Technology (2009) 24, 219–230. doi:10.1057/jit.2008.22; published online 2 December 2008 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Information Technology (Palgrave Macmillan) is the property of Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This study compared responses to LBNP and actual Hem in sedated baboons. Arterial pressure, pulse pressure (PP), central venous pressure (CVP), heart rate, stroke volume (SV), and +dP/df were measured. Hem steps were 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% of total estimated blood volume. Shed blood was returned, and 4 wk after Hem, the same animals were subjected to four LBNP levels which elicited equivalent changes in PP and CVP observed during Hem. Blood gases, hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), plasma renin activity (PRA), vasopressin (AVP), epinephrine (EPI), and norepinephrine (NE) were measured at baseline and maximum Hem or LBNP. LBNP levels matched with 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% hemorrhage were -22 ± 6, -41 ± 7, -54 ± 10, and -71 ± 7 mmHg, respectively (mean ± SD). Hemodynamic responses to Hem and LBNP were similar. SV decreased linearly such that 25% Hem and matching LBNP caused a 50% reduction in SV. Hem caused a decrease in Hct, Hb, and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2). In contrast, LBNP increased Hct and Hb, while ScvO2 remained unchanged. Hem caused greater elevations in AVP and NE than LBNP, while PRA, EPI, and other hematologic indexes did not differ between studies. These results indicate that while LBNP does not elicit the same effect on blood cell loss as Hem, LBNP mimics the integrative cardiovascular response to Hem, and validates the use of LBNP as an experimental model of central hypovolemia associated with Hem.

Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.

Because this routine exposure can cause high levels of stress in workers, it is important to investigate factors that contribute to both risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and healthy responses to stress. Although some research has found social support to mitigate the effects of posttraumatic stress symptoms, scant research has investigated organizational support. The aim of the present study is to investigate the temporal relationship between stress symptoms and perceived organizational support in a sample of 1,039 service members deployed to the peacekeeping mission to Kosovo. Participants completed self-report measures of stress symptoms and perceived organizational support at 4 study time points. Bivariate latent difference score structural equation modeling was utilized to examine the temporal relationship among stress and perceived organizational support. In general, across the 4 time points, latent PCL scores evidenced a salient and negative relationship to subsequent POS latent difference scores. However, no significant relationship was found between latent POS variables and subsequent PCL latent difference scores. Findings suggest that prior stress symptoms are influencing service member’s perceptions of the supportiveness of their organization such that increased prior stress is associated with worsening perceptions of support. These results illustrate that targeting stress directly may potentiate the positive influence of organizational support and that institutional support programs should be adapted to better account for the negative biases increased distress may encourage.

Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 2013. AB - Deployments increase risk for adjustment problems in service members. To mitigate this increased risk, mental health training programs have been developed and implemented in several nations. As part of a coordinated effort, three nations adapted a U.S. mental health training program that had been validated by a series of group randomized trials demonstrating improvement in postdeployment adjustment. Implementation of evidence-based programs in a new context is challenging: How much of the original program needs to remain intact in order to retain its utility? User satisfaction rates can provide essential data to assess how well a program is accepted. This article summarizes service member ratings of postdeployment mental health training and compares ratings from service members across four nations. The participating nations (Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States) administered mental health training to active duty military personnel in their respective nations. Following the training, military personnel completed an evaluation of the training. Overall, across the four nations, more than 70% of military personnel agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied with the mental health training. Although some differences in evaluations were observed across nations, components of training that were most important to overall satisfaction with the training were strikingly similar across nations. Fundamentally, it appears feasible that despite cultural and organizational differences, a mental health training program developed in one nation can be successfully adapted for use in other nations.

The principles tested include game aesthetics, player choice, and player competition. The experiment participants were asked to play a serious game over the course of a week, and the learning outcomes were measured by comparing their pretest and posttest scores. The results of a one-tailedttest indicated, with apvalue of 0.043, that there was a statistically significant effect of the aesthetic presentation of the game upon the learning outcome. There was no indication of a significant effect by the player choice or player competition conditions, but the results from these experiment groups point to some potentially interesting interactions between the conditions and learning, as well as possible future lines of experimental inquiry.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 46 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 79 SN - 01636804 AB - Cognitive radio techniques are being applied to many different communications systems. They hold promise for increasing utilization of radio frequencies that are underutilized today, allowing for improved commercial data services, and allowing for new emergency and military communications services [1]. For example, these techniques are being considered by the U.S. FCC for communications services in unlicensed VHF and UHF TV bands. Although traditionally these techniques are closely associated with software- defined radios, many standards such as WiFi (IEEE 802.11), Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4), and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) already include some degree of CR technology today. Further advances are occurring rapidly. IEEE 802.22 will be the first cognitive radio-based international standard with tangible frequency bands for its operation. Standardization is at the core of the current and future success of cognitive radio. Industry stakeholders are participating in international standards activities governing the use of cognitive radio techniques for dynamic spectrum access and coexistence, next-generation radio and spectrum management, and interoperability in infrastructure-less wireless networks. This article provides a review of standardization activities for cognitive radio technologies and comments on prospects and issues for future standardization.

In Experiments 1 and 2 participants read route and survey spatial descriptions while undertaking one of four secondary tasks targeting working memory components. Converging evidence from map drawing and statement verification tasks indicates that while articulatory mechanisms are involved in processing the language itself, visuospatial and central executive mechanisms are involved in developing spatial mental models, particularly during route description reading. In Experiments 3 and 4 participants undertook the same working memory tasks, but did so during testing; results from memory and secondary task performance converge to demonstrate that using spatial mental models is a visuospatially and centrally demanding process, particularly following route description learning. Taken together, results demonstrate that spatial mental model development and application are contingent upon multiple working memory systems and interact with representational formats.

Managers attempting to plant mangrove in sites containing artificial substrates must remove substrates or risk poor performance of rehabilitation efforts. This study compared propagule retention, early survival, growth, flowering success, and nutrient concentrations of Avicennia marina (grey mangrove) grown on sand, naturally occurring substrate, and rock blast furnace slag over two growing seasons at an experimental site near Newcastle, Australia. Nutrient concentrations of experimental plants were also compared to those of naturally occurring plants. Experimental results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in short-term survival, growth over the two growing seasons, and carbon and nitrogen concentrations between plants grown on different substrates. Comparison of plants grown in slag and plants from reference sites suggests, however, that slag does not lead to anomalies in nutrient concentrations of young mangroves. Although the results identified some differences between plants grown on river sand, naturally occurring substrate, and slag substrate, the absence of consistent differences suggests that mangroves planted in slag are under no greater risk of future failure than mangroves planted in naturally occurring substrate.

Supply chain management is one of the most popular management concepts to impact business and the logistics concept in the 1990s. This empirical research particularly focuses on how firms measure the performance of their warehouse operations. A survey instrument was designed and was used on a total of 296 respondents. A follow-up phone call was made to all the pre-test survey recipients to clarify any comments that were made about the content and clarity of the survey. The respondents were also asked to identify which primary unit of measurement they would be using when responding to the measurement questions. Finally, various types of demographic data were collected to help describe the respondent base as well as serve as a basis for analysis. Based on findings of the study it was concluded that there appears to be a significant difference between the nature of warehouse measures as well as perceived measure effectiveness for firms following different paths concerning the implementation of a supply chain philosophy.

JO - Freshwater Biology JF - Freshwater Biology Y1 - 1998/11// VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 517 EP - 530 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00465070 AB - Summary 1. The ’hydrogeomorphic‘ approach to functional assessment of wetlands (HGM) was developed as a synthetic mechanism for compensatory mitigation of wetlands lost or damaged by human activities. The HGM approach is based on: (a) classification of wetlands by geomorphic origin and hydrographic regime (b) assessment models that associate variables as indicators of function, and (c) comparison to reference wetlands that represent the range of conditions that may be expected in a particular region. In this paper, we apply HGM to riparian wetlands of alluvial rivers. 2. In the HGM classification, riverine wetlands are characterized by formative fluvial processes that occur mainly on flood plains. The dominant water sources are overbank flooding from the channel or subsurface hyporheic flows. Examples of riverine wetlands in the U.S.A. are: bottomland hardwood forests that typify the low gradient, fine texture substratum of the south-eastern coastal plain and the alluvial flood plains that typify the high gradient, coarse texture substratum of western montane rivers. 3. Assessment (logic) models for each of fourteen alluvial wetland functions are described. Each model is a composite of two to seven wetland variables that are independently scored in relation to a reference data set developed for alluvial rivers in the western U.S.A. Scores are summarized by a ’functional capacity index‘ (FCI), which is multiplied by the area of the project site to produce a dimensionless ’functional capacity unit‘ (FCU). When HGM is properly used, compensatory mitigation is based on the FCUs lost that must be returned to the riverine landscape under statutory authority. 4. The HGM approach also provides a framework for long-term monitoring of mitigation success or failure and, if failing, a focus on topical remediation. 5. We conclude that HGM is a robust and easy method for protecting riparian wetlands, which are critically important...

Koch) fescues are widely sown to stabilize disturbed soils in the cool--humid and transition climatic zones of the USA. Our objectives were to: a) quantify changes in the allocation of dry matter and growth of tall and hard fescue, forced to grow on stored soil water in sandy soil; and b) compare dry matter allocation over time between roots and shoots to evaluate the dynamics of root-associated drought avoidance mechanisms. A randomized complete block experiment with four replications and two factors (species and stress level) was conducted in a greenhouse. The main blocks consisted of two fescue species: tall fescue and hard fescue; sub-blocks contained stress levels: well-watered and stressed. Low, medium and severe stresses were imposed by withholding water in one set of pots. The types of fescue species grown significantly affected leaf area (LA), plant height (PH), water use (WU), root length (RL), longest root (LR), root area (RA), shoot (SDB) and root dry biomass (RDB), and root : shoot ratio (R/S). Stress level affected PH, WU, LR and RL at low stress; WU, LR and RA at medium stress; LA, PH, SDB, WU, RL, LR, RA and R/S at severe stress. Tall fescue had greater LA, PH, WU, RA, RL, LR. SDB, RDB and R/S than hard fescue under all treatments. Stress reduced LA, PH, SDB, WU, RA, RL, LR and R/S. Significant correlations were obtained for LA with RL. WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; RL with WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; WU with LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; LR with PH, RA, SDB, RDB; PH with RA, SDB, RDB; RA with SDB, RDB; and SDB with RDB. In conclusion, hard fescue had a shallower root system, shorter plant canopy, slower growth, and transpired less water to make it more drought tolerant. Tall fescue, with a deeper root system, longer plant canopy, faster growth, and greater water transpiration, is less drought tolerant at medium and severe stresses. Root attributes strongly correlated with shoot attributes and can be considered for breeding programs promoting drought tolerance.

Koch) sind weit verbreitet angesäte Grasarten, mit denen gestörte Böden im kalt-humiden sowie Übergangsklimazonen der USA stabilisiert werden sollen. Unsere Ziet war es zu: a) Änderungen in der Allokation von Trockenmasse und das Wachstum von Rohr- und Schafschwingel, die in sandigen Böden mit Stauwasser zu wachsen gezwungen wurden, zu quantifizieren, b) die Trockenmasseallokation Im Zeitablauf zwischen Wurzeln und Sproß zu vergleichen und die Dynamik der auf die Wurzel bezogenen Trockenheitsvermeidungsmechanismen zu bewerten. Ein randomisiertes komplettes Blockexperiment mit vier Wiederholungen und zwei Faktoren (Arten und Streßstärke) wurde im Gewächshaus durchgeführt. Die Hauptblöcke bestanden aus den beiden Schwingelarten: Rohr- und Schafschwingel; die Unterblöcke enthielten die Streßstärken:gut bewässert und streßbewässert. Geringe, mittlere und starke Streßwirkungen wurden durch Zurückhalten der Bewässerung in den Gefäßen erzielt. Die verwendeten Schwingelarten waren signifikant beeinflußt hinsichtlich der Blattfläche (LA), der Pflanzenhöhe (PH), der Wassernutzung (WU), der Wurzellänge (RL), der längsten Wurzel (LR), der Wurzeloberfläche (RA), der Sproß-(SDB) und der Wurzel-Trockenbiomasse (RDB) sowie des Wurzel:Sproß-Verhältnisses (R/S). Die Streßstärke beeinflußte PH, WU, LR sowie RL bei niedrigem Streß; WU, LR und RA bei mittlerem Streß; LA, PH, SDB, WU, RL, LR, RA und R/S bei starkem Streß. Rohrschwingel hatte eine größere LA, PH, WU, RA, RL, LR, SDB, RDB und R/S als Schafschwingel unter allen Behandlungen. Streß reduzierte LA, PH, SDB, WU, RA, RL, LR und R/S. Signifikante Korrelationen wurden beobachtet für LA mit RL, WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für RL mit WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für WU mit LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; LR mit PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für PH mit RA, SDB, RDB; für LA mit SDB, RDB und SDB mit RDB. Als Ergebnis kann darauf hingewiesen werden, daß Schafschwingel ein flacheres Wurzelsystem, geringere Pflanzenbestandeshöhe, geringeres Wachstum und eine reduzierte Transpiration als Voraussetzung für Trockenheitstoleranz aufwies. Rohrschwingel mit einem tiefer reichenden Wurzetsystem, höherer Pflanzenbestandeshöhe, schnellerem Wachstum und höherer Transpiration ist dagegen bei mittlerem und schwerem Streß weniger dürretolerant. Die Wurzeleigenschaften waren straff korreliert mit den Sproßeigenschaften und können für Zuchtprogramme zur Verbesserung der Dürretoleranz berücksichtigt werden.

(white oak), bottomland Quercus nigra L. (water oak), bottomland Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marshall. (green ash) and flood-tolerant Nyssa aquatica L. (water tupelo) seedlings were studied under controlled conditions. Net photosynthetic rates of flooded N. aquatica seedlings were reduced by 25% throughout the 32-day flooding period. Net photosynthetic rates of flooded Q. alba seedlings fell rapidly to 25% of those of the control seedlings by Day 4 of the flooding treatment and to 5% by Day 16. In F. pennsylvanica and Q. nigra, net photosynthetic rates were reduced to 50% of control values by Day 8 but remained at approximately 30 and 23%, respectively, of control values by Day 32. Leaves of flooded Q. alba seedlings accumulated approximately twice as much starch as leaves of non-flooded control plants, whereas root starch concentrations decreased to 67% of those of control plants by the end of the 32-day flooding treatment. In contrast, flooding caused only a small increase in leaf starch concentrations of N. aquatica plants, but it increased root starch concentrations to 119% of those of the control plants by the end of the experiment. The co-occurring bottomland species, Fraxinus pennsylvanica and Q. nigra, differed from each other in their patterns of stomatal conductance and root starch concentrations. We conclude that the maintenance of low leaf starch concentrations, and high pre-flood root tissue starch concentrations are important characteristics allowing flood-tolerant species to survive in flooded soils.

SN - 00068314 AB - A series of tracer experiments studying the statistical properties of concentration fluctuations in clouds dispersing in the atmospheric surface layer is described and analyzed. Experiments were conducted at downwind fetches between about 200 and 1200 m, under a wide range of atmospheric conditions ranging from very unstable to moderately stable stratification. The present experiments have addressed basic requirements not met by past field experiments involving instantaneously released clouds; namely, the experiments provided repeat realizations of instantaneously released clouds measured with high-resolution concentration detectors, accompanied by the contemporaneous acquisition of high-quality meteorological and turbulence measurements. Extensive analyses are performed on the cloud concentration data in the framework of relative diffusion. Ensembles of cloud concentration realizations have been constructed. From these ensembles, crosswind and time profiles of the ensemble-mean concentration, concentration variance, ensemble-mean dosage, and dosage variance are obtained. The behaviour of the time profiles of the integral time scale of cloud concentration fluctuations is studied. The use of surface-layer similarity theory for the analysis of the downwind variation of a number of cloud quantities (e.g., cloud size and duration, cloud centre ensemble-mean concentration and dosage, cloud centre concentration and dosage variance, cloud centre integral time scale) is shown to be an effective basis for ordering these quantities. Furthermore, a number of approximate universal relationships describing the behavior of these cloud quantities has been derived. Finally, it is shown that the scaled crosswind and time profiles of ensemble-mean concentration and concentration variance as well as the scaled time profiles of the concentration fluctuation integral time scale exhibit self-similar forms that are independent of atmospheric stratification and downwind fetch.

SN - 00068314 AB - Refuge has patchy vegetation in sandy soil. During midday and at night, the surface sources and sinks for heat and moisture may thus be different. Although the Sevilleta is broad and level, its metre-scale heterogeneity could therefore violate an assumption on which Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) relies. To test the applicability of MOST in such a setting, we measured the standard deviations of vertical (σ_w) and longitudinal velocity (σ_u), temperature (σ_t), and humidity (σ_q), the temperature-humidity covariance (tq), and the temperature skewness (S_t). Dividing the former five quantities by the appropriate flux scales (u_*, _*, and q_*) yielded the nondimensional statistics σ_w/u_*, σ_u/u_*, σ_t/|t_*|, σ_q/|q_*|, and tq/t_*q_*. σ_w/u_*, σ_t/|t_*|, and S_t have magnitudes and variations with stability similar to those reported in the literature and, thus, seem to obey MOST. Though σ_u/u_* is often presumed not to obey MOST, our σ_u/u_* data also agree with MOST scaling arguments. While σ_q/|q_*| has the same dependence on stability as σ_t/|t_*|, its magnitude is 28% larger. When we ignore tq/t_*q_* values measured during sunrise and sunset transitions – when MOST is not expected to apply – this statistic has essentially the same magnitude and stability dependence as (σ_t/t_*)^2. In a flow that truly obeys MOST, (σ_t/t_*)^2, (σ_q/q_*)^2, and tq/t_*q_* should all have the same functional form. That (σ_q/q_*)^2 differs from the other two suggests that the Sevilleta has an interesting surface not compatible with MOST. The sources of humidity reflect the patchiness while, despite the patchiness, the sources of heat seem uniformly distributed.

SN - 00068314 AB - From a set of turbulence data collected with a three-axis sonic anemometer/thermometer and described in a companion paper, we simulate the eddy-accumulation process for sensible heat and momentum fluxes. The resulting eddy-accumulation coefficient for momentum clearly depends on surface-layer stability; at neutral stability, its value is 0.63. On supplementing the scalar eddy-accumulation coefficients that we derive from our sensible heat flux data with values of sensible and latent heat flux coefficients reported by Businger and Oncley, we also find that scalar eddy-accumulation coefficients depend on stability, though more weakly than does the momentum coefficient. The coefficients for sensible and latent heat show no significant difference; we, thus, fit them with one function of stability whose value is 0.52 for neutral stratification.

SN - 00068314 AB - A three-dimensional model for correlation functions and spectra in the atmospheric, convective boundary layer (CBL) is presented. The model includes vertical inhomogeneities introduced by eddy-blocking at the ground. By assuming the disturbance to the turbulent flow resulting from the ground blocking is irrotational, an equation is developed which allows one to write the inhomogeneous, two-dimensional (2D) cross spectra for the blocked flow in terms of the 2D cross spectra for a homogeneous flow. Von Kármán‘s energy spectrum then is used to determine the homogeneous, 2D cross spectra. Although there are only two adjustable parameters in the model, the variance and a length scale, the model is shown to agree quite well with a diversity of previous results for the CBL.

Animals were intoxicated with either STX or TTX (2 and 3 μg/kg, im) to produce a state of progressive cardiorespiratory depression (depicted by decreasing DEMG amplitude, bradypnea, and brady cardia). At the point where cardiorespiratory performance was most seriously compromised (≈30 min posttoxin), 4-AP (1 or 2 mg/kg, im) was administered. The therapeutic effect of 4-AP was striking in that, within minutes, the toxin-induced diaphragmatic blockade, bradypnea, bradycardia, and depressed cortical activity were all restored to a level either comparable to, or surpassing, that of control. The optimal 4-AP dose level was determined to be 2 mg/kg (im) based on analyses of cardiorespiratory activity profiles throughout the course of intoxication and 4-AP treatment. At the dose levels (either 1 or 2 mg/kg) used to restore ventilatory function and cardiovascular performance, 4-AP produced no sign of seizures and convulsions. Although less serious secondary effects such as cortical excitant/arousal effect (indicated by ECoG power spectral analysis) and transient periods of skeletal muscle fasciculation were observed, these events were of minor concern particularly in view of the remarkable therapeutic effects of 4-AP.

Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

Participants were predominantly white (57%), Army (91%), enlisted (72%), males (71%), with a mean age of 30 ± 9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0 ± 4.2 kg/m(2). The cross-sectional, descriptive study included active duty service members (n = 295) recruited from Texas and Washington. Validated Motivation for Eating Scale (MFES) and Intuitive Eating Scale were administered and BMI (m/kg(2)) was dichotomized at <25 or ≥25 kg/m(2). Descriptive, correlation, t-test, and logistic regression analysis were conducted for BMI category with demographic, lifestyle, and MFES/Intuitive Eating Scale scores (α = 0.05; 80% power). Thirty-six percent were normal BMI (22.7 ± 1.6 kg/m(2)) and 64% were overweight/obese BMI (29.3 ± 3.3 kg/m(2)). Mean BMI was 27.8 ± 4.2 kg/m(2) (males) and 24.8 ± 3.4 kg/m(2) (females) (p < 0.001). Physical MFES type was predominant (77% normal BMI vs. 66% overweight; p = 0.001). Males ate for physical rather than emotional reasons (p = 0.014). Each 1-point increase in Reliance on Internal Hunger Satiety Score was associated with 34% lower odds of being overweight. Disparity existed between sex and intuitive eating characteristic. Increasing awareness of eating influences may improve weight-related dietary behaviors.

Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/06// VL - 181 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 553 EP - 559 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - U.S. Army Forward Surgical Teams (FSTs) are elite, multidisciplinary units that are highly mobile, and rapidly deployable. The mission of the FST is to provide resuscitative and damage control surgery for stabilization of life-threatening injuries in austere environments. The Army Trauma Training Center began in 2001 at the University of Miami Ryder Trauma Center under the direction of COL T. E. Knuth, MC USA (Ret.), as a multimodality combination of lectures, laboratory exercises, and clinical experiences that provided the only predeployment mass casualty and clinical trauma training center for all FSTs. Each of the subsequent five directors has restructured the training based on dynamic feedback from trainees, current military needs, and on the rapid advances in combat casualty care. We have highlighted these evolutionary changes at the Army Trauma Training Center in previous reviews. Under the current director, LTC J. M. Seery, MC USA, there are new team-building exercises, mobile learning modules and simulators, and other alternative methods in the mass casualty exercise. This report summarizes the latest updates to the state of the art training since the last review.

The four family types are balanced, moderately balanced, midrange, and extreme. The five personality traits are extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness, emotional stability, and conscientiousness. Data were collected through anonymous questionnaires distributed to combat-naïve Soldiers at the beginning of their advanced individual training. This study utilized the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale1 and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory2 as measures. Overall the analyses found that participants classified as a balanced family type scored significantly higher on the personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience than those classified in the family types of extreme, midrange, and moderately balanced. It appears that family types are associated with personality traits. This study opens doors to future research including looking at how family and personality types relate to each other in military units and personnel.

Evidence has suggested that lipid emulsion infusion therapy has been successful in the treatment of antidepressant overdose. No studies have determined the optimal combination of lipid/advanced cardiovascular life support therapy for treatment.Methods: This study was a prospective, experimental, between subjects design with a swine model investigating the effectiveness of drug combinations administered with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) postvenlafexine overdose. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of eight groups containing seven subjects. The groups tested were CPR only and CPR with epinephrine alone; vasopressin alone; lipid alone; epinephrine and vasopressin; epinephrine and lipid; vasopressin and lipid; and epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipid. The outcomes of interest were survival odds and time to return of spontaneous circulation.Results: Results on these swine models indicate that the use of vasopressin coupled with lipids for venlafaxine overdose resulted in a higher survival rate when compared to the control group (p = 0.023). Groups receiving vasopressin experienced statistically faster times to return of spontaneous circulation than other groups (p = 0.019).Conclusions: The results suggest that in swine models, the optimal treatment for venlafaxine overdose would include vasopressin with lipids.

Building an understanding between the two could provide answers to when and how the U.S. occupation will end. The British occupation of Iraq drew heavy criticism at home almost immediately. Large-scale Shiite insurgencies cost the British numerous casualties, and many British papers called for an end of the occupation. In 1927 Britain pulled out of Iraq, after publicly declaring to stay for years. This early withdrawal left Iraq unable to resist the Wahhabi invasion or the Kurdish insurgency, undermining security in the country. Continued British oversight could have prevented Iraq from falling into the hands of military dictators.

To this end, this article demonstrates a method for mining the works of jihadi ideologues for tactical and strategic information that will help the United States craft effective measures for defeating the jihadi movement and its followers.

Only a small percentage end at the negotiating table. While significant attention has been paid to how internal wars begin and how they evolve, relatively little attention has been paid to how they are concluded. What research has been done on this subject, furthermore, has focused almost exclusively on the problems that stand in the way of achieving a negotiated outcome, not on how these conflicts are so frequently resolved by force. This article examines the dynamics of the endgame struggle and the quite different ways in which states and insurgencies ‘win’ and ‘lose’ internal wars. We explore this topic theoretically and empirically in the first part of the article and examine the formal logic of the endgame in the second part, explaining how and why these endings follow a predictable pattern.

In this article, we prospectively evaluate whether SCT verbal defensiveness differentiates completion of a selection course for high demand military missions in a new sample of 125 military personnel. We further describe relationships between SCT verbal defensiveness and psychologist ratings of suitability for high demand military positions. Candidates high in SCT verbal defensiveness were less likely to complete a rigorous military selection course for high demand assignments and were twice as likely as those low in verbal defensiveness to leave early in the course. Psychologists rated candidates who were high in verbal defensiveness lower in overall suitability for high demand assignment and lower in motivation, trainability, and personality competence than candidates low in SCT verbal defensiveness. These findings support continued investigation of the SCT in military selection research.

We examined the nature and variability of rankings of "conditions" based on how they are defined and how their population health impacts are measured. The first listed diagnosis from all hospitalizations and ambulatory visits of U.S. service members during 2002 was used to rank conditions (as defined by two standard classification systems] using five different measures of population health impacts. Less than 10% of all conditions accounted for more than one-half of total population health impact, regardless of how conditions were defined or impacts measured. However, specific conditions with the largest impacts varied depending on the classification system and impact measure. Four groups of related conditions--acute musculoskeletal injuries, pregnancy-related conditions, respiratory infections, and mental disorders (including substance abuse)--accounted for disproportionately large impacts regardless of the measure. The identification of conditions with the largest population health impacts depends on the nature and degree of aggregation in defining conditions and the measure of impact. The findings are relevant to prevention planning and resourcing.

Although respiratory disease control is improved, epidemics continue to occur, and respiratory disease in military trainees continues to exceed that in U.S. civilian adults. Overall, Department of Defense utilization of the trivalent inactivated vaccine was much lower than anticipated during the 2004-2005 season. The slow start to the 2004-2005 influenza season resulted in a low demand for influenza immunization by the medically high-risk beneficiary population of the Department of Defense. Surveillance for influenza during the 2004-2005 season in U.S. Army Europe reached unprecedented heights, testing and confirming more cases than in any previous year.

However, because malaria may be transported out of endemic areas and into areas that are free of malaria, the threat does not end with redeployment. Since the Korean Conflict, outbreaks of imported malaria have followed every major deployment of U.S. military forces to malaria endemic areas. By examining unique aspects of these outbreaks through the years, many similarities can be drawn. Repeated observations demonstrate that preventive efforts are only effective at reducing the impact of imported malaria when commanders are informed about the risks of malaria. Commanders must also understand the preventive resources that are available while deployed, and the potential for morbidity and mortality from malaria.

Demobilizing soldiers completed an assessment packet that included questions about demographic factors, relationships, stress, and alcohol-related consequences. Significant predictors of greater alcohol-related consequences, as assessed with the CAGE questionnaire, included fewer years of formal education, male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, racial/ethnic minority status, enlisted rank, having been deployed to the continental United States, and greater stress, whereas significant predictors of drinking and driving included male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, and greater stress. Identifying the predictors of alcohol consequences that occur upon demobilization may aid in determining which soldiers are at risk for such consequences before deployment and may help to maintain military readiness.

Recent revisions to Department of Defense (DoD) policies require changes to the AWCP. Specifically, we assessed the effects of increasing weight-for-height allowances and adoption of the DoD body fat equation on compliance with the AWCP in women. Methods: Weight, height, circumferences (neck, forearm, wrist, waist, and hip] to measure body fat, and Army Physical Fitness Test results were obtained from 909 female soldiers (mean (SD) age, 26.2 (6.51 years; body mass index, 24.6 (3.3) kg/m²; body fat, 29.7% (5,0)). Results: Increasing the screening weight-for-height allowances resulted in a 20% reduction in those requiring a body fat measurement (from 55% [n = 498] to 35% [n = 319]). Adopting the DoD body fat equation did not change the proportion of overfat women, i.e., noncompliant with the AWCP, (from 26% [n = 232] to 27% [n = 246]). More women with a waist circumference >35 inches (i.e., at increased disease risk) were identified as noncompliant with the AWCP by the proposed body fat equation (from 76% [n = 61] to 96% [n = 77]). Conclusions: Proposed changes reduce the proportion of women unnecessarily measured for body fat and do not change the proportion of women on the AWCP, yet select more women at increased disease risk and most in need of an effective intervention.

This descriptive study used a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey of Army Nurse Corps officers and Department of the Army civilian registered nurses (N = 5,293). The CRNA subset (n = 97) was obtained from questionnaires that indicated a primary practice setting as anesthesia. The most frequently occurring ethical issue identified was conflict in the nurse-physician relationship. whereas the most disturbing issue was working with incompetent/ impaired colleagues. Unresolved ethical conflicts can negatively influence the nurses' morale, leading to avoidance of the issue and contributing to burnout. Identifying the ethical issues and disturbance level experienced by CRNAs should contribute to the development of an ethics education program that addresses issues encountered in CRNA practice.

T1 - The Basis for Prescribed Ability Group Run Speeds and Distances in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2006/07// Y1 - 2006/07// VL - 171 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 669 EP - 677 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - During the first few days of Army Basic Combat Training (BCT), recruits take a running test and after completing this test they are ranked from fast to slow. Four roughly equal-sized "ability groups" are established from these rankings and recruits run together in these groups for their physical training during BCT. In the past, there has been no formal guidance regarding how fast or how far these ability groups should run. To fill this void, this study provides guidance for running speeds and distances during BCT. The major considerations included are: (1) minimizing injuries, (2) the initial aerobic fitness level of recruits, (3] historical improvements in run times during BCT, (4) historical running speeds of the slower individuals in each ability group, (5) running speeds that must be achieved to "pass" the 2-mile run in BCT, (6) the gender composition of the ability groups, and (7) recommendations from the trainers and field testing. Three databases were analyzed that contained a total of 16,716 men and 11,600 women. Four steps were used in the analyses: (1) establishment of run-time cut points for representative ability groups, (2) determination of initial (starting) run speeds, (3) estimation of changes in run speeds with training, and (4) establishment of run speeds and distances for each week of BCT. Efforts were made to (1) keep the running speeds between 70% and 83% of the estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) for all ability groups, (2) consider the 2-mile running pace of the slower individuals in each ability group, and (3) keep the total running distance for the two slower ability groups below a total of 25 miles, the apparent threshold for increasing injury incidence. A chart provides speeds and distances for each ability group at each week of BCT. Using these recommended speeds and distances should allow trainees to improve their aerobic fitness, pass the Army Physical Fitness Test, and minimize injuries that result in lost training time and, ultimately, lower fitness levels.

Soldiers with intimate relationships processed for mobilization through Fort Bliss, Texas, completed a questionnaire that queried demographic information, relationship satisfaction, stress, risky alcohol use behaviors, and tactics used during intimate relationship conflict. Four hundred forty-nine deploying soldiers (15.8% of 2,841 with usable data) reported IPV in the past year. Younger age, less education, less relationship satisfaction, more stress, and risky alcohol use behaviors were significant individual predictors of engaging in IPV. The results of this study are discussed in terms of their implications for targeting efforts to reduce IPV among military personnel.

Methods: A total of 1,100 cadets were screened for LLIs; 126 of 1,100 were identified to have a LLI of >0.5 cm and were assigned a matched control cadet. Injury rates, numbers of visits to sick call, and numbers of days spent on medical excusal during a 1-year period were then compared for the 252 cadets. Results: There was no difference in prevalence of injury between the groups and no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the groups in injury rates, visits to sick call, or number of days spent on medical excusal. Conclusions: These findings do not support any increased incidence of injuries in a young, healthy, athletic, military population with mild LLIs, compared with matched control subjects without LLIs, over 1 year.

Few studies have been specifically designed to examine the efficacy of oral antibiotic therapy for these infections. We performed an observational study to determine the effect of alternative, orally administered antibiotics on cMRSA soft tissue infections. Consecutive patients between January 2001 and March 2004 who had skin or soft tissue infections from which cMRSA was isolated and who had never received vancomycin were studied through retrospective and concurrent review. Primary outcome measures were improvement or resolution of infection 5 and 14 days after initiation of treatment with orally administered antibiotics and rates of recurrence within 30 days alter completion of treatment. Thirty subjects met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-one subjects received either clindamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, doxycycline/minocycline, or a fluoroquinolone, Five subjects received a β-lactam antibiotic with abscess drainage, and four subjects underwent abscess drainage alone. Improvement was noted for all subjects at 5 days, complete resolution of infection occurred for all subjects by 14 to 17 days, and in no case did relapse occur within 30 days. cMRSA skin and soft tissue infections can be successfully treated with orally administered antibiotics to which the organism has demonstrable in vitro susceptibility.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and pegylated G-CSF (peg-G-CSF) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as hematopoietic growth factors to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of G-CSF and peg-G-CSF in ameliorating HD-induced neutropenia. African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) were challenged with HD and, at 1, 3, 5, or 7 days after exposure, G-CSF therapy (10 µg/kg per day for 21 days) was initiated. Peg-G-CSF (300 µg/kg, single treatment) was similarly tested, with treatment given at 3 days after exposure. Untreated HD-exposed animals recovered from neutropenia 28 days after exposure, whereas G-CSF- or peg-G-CSF-treated animals recovered 8 to 19 days after exposure (p < 0,05). These results indicate that G-CSF or peg-G-CSF may provide Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments that will reduce the duration of HD-induced neutropenia.

Dental readiness continues to be a primary mission of the Army Dental Care System and is an important part of mobilization. Dental Fitness Classification (DFC) is used to evaluate the oral health status and current treatment needs of soldiers. Caries and tobacco risk assessments were recently added to the annual examination of Army soldiers. The aim of this project was to determine whether any association existed between the DFC and caries and tobacco risk assessments of Army soldiers. Methods: The study population consisted of 66,484 U.S. Army active duty soldiers. The data were obtained from an Army electronic database that maintains all patient visits. The following information was obtained for each soldier; rank, DFC, caries risk, and tobacco risk assessment. Summary statistics were computed and DFC was compared with caries risk, tobacco risk, and rank using the χ² analysis and logistic regression model. Results: High-caries risk soldiers were 15.6 times more likely to be a DFC 3 or 4 as compared to DFC 1 and 2 soldiers. DFC 3 or 4 soldiers were 1.43 times more likely to be tobacco users than DFC 1 or 2 soldiers. Logistic regression models showed that high-caries risk soldiers were at 13 times the odds of being a DFC 3 or DFC 4 as compared to DFC 1 or DFC 2. Soldiers who used tobacco products were also more likely to be in higher DFC classification compared to those that did not use any tobacco products. Conclusions: This study has shown clear associations between DFC categories and caries and tobacco risk wherein DFC 3 and 4 soldiers are at higher risk for future caries and of being tobacco users. This relationship warrants the inclusion of caries and tobacco risk in the overall dental assessment of soldiers.

This study was conducted during normal hospital operations, and we tested the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations 2004 National Patient Safety Goal, Section 6b to determine whether patient alarms could sufficiently compete against environmental background noises. Patient clinical alarms were audible at distances of ≥95 feet with room doors open but were not sufficiently audible to hospital staff members when room doors were closed or during floor-buffing activities. This study suggests that, under these circumstances, hospitals may not meet Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations 2004 National Patient Safety Goal. Section 6b. Because the audibility of patient clinical alarms directly affects patient safety, satisfaction, and quality of care, we provide recommendations for engineering controls and modifications to work routines.

The Neurocognition Deployment Health Study addresses several gaps in the deployment health literature, including lack of baseline health data, reliance on subjective measures of exposure and health variables, prolonged intervals between redeployment and health assessments, and lack of a uniform case definition. The Neurocognition Deployment Health Study uses a prospective cohort design to assess neuropsychological outcomes associated with Iraq deployment. Methods incorporate administration of performance-based neuropsychological measures to Army soldiers before and after Iraq deployment and to nondeployed Army Soldiers assessed during comparable periods of garrison duty. Findings should have the potential to delineate neuropsychological outcomes related to combat theater deployment and to identify potential risk and protective factors related to health outcomes.

Commanders provided anonymous professional information about themselves and their assigned physicians and evaluated their physicians in 22 areas of medical and military competence using a linear scoring method from 2 (indicating poor) to 6 (indicating outstanding). Main effects and interaction effects were analyzed using multiple analysis of variance. The commanders' overall confidence in their physicians was 5.4, suggesting general satisfaction. Prior-service physicians were rated higher on several factors if the commander had combat experience. Nonprior-service physicians were rated the same on nearly all variables regardless of the commander's experience. Commanders with combat experience rated their assigned physicians significantly higher than did commanders without combat experience. Despite high ratings, several candid remarks suggest there is still room for improvement.

A purposive sample of research participants (N = 131) from two military treatment facilities assigned to Great Plains Regional Medical Command responded to an electronic Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index |READI). The READl measures self-reported competencies in six dimensions of nursing readiness. Descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. Although the research surveyed three levels of nursing skills (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing assistant), the study results were noted to be quite parallel across the groups. Significant differences were noted throughout the six dimensions of the READI and between the two military treatment facilities in the dimensions of operational nursing competencies and personal and psychological readiness. Findings support the need for a structured core competency tool to provide succinct focused training to ensure deployment readiness.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine J1 - Military Medicine PY - 2006/02// Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 171 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 117 EP - 121 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: The Department of Defense Hearing Conservation Program requires that a reference audiogram be performed at initial entry training (IET). before noise exposure. In the Army, only Fort Sill, home of the field artillery, and Fort Benning. home of the infantry, are in compliance. All military applicants receive a screening audiogram at a military entrance processing station (MEPS) to qualify for service. This audiogram does not meet the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System-Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) standard. Nevertheless, it has been proposed that the MEPS screen he used as the reference because of limited resources and time during IET medical in-processing. Methods: A total of 11,816 individual reference audiograms performed at Fort Sill 95th Adjutant General Recruit Reception Center in 2000 were identified in the DOEHRS-HC database. Results of the MEPS screening audiograms were found for 11.311 (96%) of these individuals. The two audiograms were compared by frequency and ear and by using the two Department of Defense criteria for threshold shift. Results: A total of 14.49% (95% confidence interval. 14.48-14.50%) of audiograms using the three-frequency average difference and 23.19% (95% confidence interval. 23.18-23.20%) using the four-frequency difference in either ear demonstrated a threshold shift. The mean difference in intensity between the two audiograms ranged from 5 to 12 dB and varied by frequency and ear. with the greatest differences being seen at 500 and 6.000 kHz and in the left ear. compared with the right ear. The mean threshold level was higher for each frequency in the DOEHRS-HC audiogram. compared with the MEPS audiogram. Conclusions; Approximately 15% of soldiers at Fort Sill in 2000 showed a clinically significant threshold difference between their MEPS screening and the DOEHRS-HC baseline audiogram. Methodological variations in testing and interval noise-induced hearing loss could account for these differences. The results do not support the use of the MEPS screening audiogram as the reference audiogram. Compliance with the Hearing Conservation Program in the Army would require either improving MEPS testing to DOEHRS-HC standards or performing baseline audiograms at all five IET sites.

It was hypothesized that military hardiness would moderate the effects of deployment stressors on soldier health. In a survey study of 629 U.S. soldiers, deployment stressors, military hardiness, and psychological and physical health were assessed during a peacekeeping deployment. Health was measured again after deployment. Results of moderated regression analyses partially supported the hypotheses: military hardiness moderated the impact of deployment stressors on depression after deployment, after controlling for depression during deployment. Implications for training military hardiness and applications to other occupational settings are discussed.

If they failed the test, then they entered the Fitness Assessment Program (FAP), where they physically trained until they passed the test and subsequently entered BCT, The effectiveness of the FAP was evaluated by examining fitness, injury, and training outcomes. Recruits who failed the test, trained in the FAP, and entered BCT after passing the test were designated the preconditioning (PC) group (64 men and 94 women). Recruits who failed the test but were allowed to enter BCT without going into the FAP were called the no preconditioning (NPC) group (32 men and 73 women). Recruits who passed the test and directly entered BCT were designated the no need of preconditioning (NNPC) group (1.078 men and 731 women). Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and training outcomes were obtained from a company-level database, and injured recruits were identified from cases documented in medical records. The proportions of NPC. PC. and NNPC recruits who completed the 9-week BCT cycle were 59%. 83%. and 87% for men (p < 0.01) and 52%. 69%. and 78% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Because of attrition, only 63% of the NPC group took the week 7 APFT, compared with 84% and 86% of the PC and NNPC groups, respectively. The proportions of NPC. PC. and NNPC recruits who passed the final APFT after all retakes were 88%. 92%. and 98% for men (p < 0.01) and 89%. 92%, and 97% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Compared with NNPC men. injury risk was 1.5 (95% confidence interval. 1.0-2.2) and 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-3.1) times higher for PC and NPC men, respectively. Compared with NNPC women, injury risk was 1.2 (95% confidence interval. 0.9-1.6) and 1.5 (95% confidence interval. 1.1-2.1) times higher for PC and NPC women, respectively. This program evaluation showed that low-fit recruits who preconditioned before BCT had reduced attrition and tended to have lower injury risk, compared with recruits of similar low fitness who did not precondition.

There is a paucity of evidence supporting the use of many of these interventions. The purpose of this study was to present data on the Shin Saver orthosis as a treatment for shin splints in an active duty military population and to review current condition management. Twenty-five subjects diagnosed with shin splints by a U.S. Army physical therapist were randomly assigned to a shin orthosis treatment group or a control group. There was no significant difference between treatment and control groups in days to finish a 0.5- mile run pain free. Visual analog scales for pain at intake versus after 1 week of relative rest revealed no significant improvement in symptoms in either group. Current best-practice guidelines support a treatment program of rest, cryotherapy, and a graduated walk-to-run program.

Laboratory-based testing of A. aegypti, A. aegypti (Trinidad strain), Culex pipiens, Culex quinquefasciatus. Anopheles stephensi, and Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus individual adult mosquitoes and mixed pools (n = 10) demonstrated 100% concordance in both in vitro sensitivity (six of six samples) and specificity (10 of 10 samples). A single adult A. aegypti was identified in a pool of 100 non-A. aegypti mosquitoes. The limit of detection of A. aegypti egg pools was five individual eggs. Field testing was conducted in central Honduras. An A. aegypti and Culex spp. panel of individual and mixed pools (n = 30) of adult mosquitoes, pupae, and larvae demonstrated 100% concordance in sensitivity (22 of 22 samples) and 97% concordance in specificity (29 of 30 samples), with one false-positive result.

It functions as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, including those involved in DNA and RNA replication and protein synthesis. Soldiers represent a unique population faced with intense metabolic and mental demands, as well as exposure to various immune challenges. Some of these factors may affect their dietary zinc requirements. Although severe zinc deficiency is unlikely to occur, some soldiers may experience less than optimal zinc status because of diminished intake coupled with increased requirements. For those soldiers, supplemental dietary zinc may serve a protective function in numerous disease states affecting modern warfighters. This review highlights the importance of adequate zinc nutriture to soldiers and discusses the potential benefits of supplemental zinc in a number of diseases currently affecting soldiers, including diarrhea, respiratory diseases, malaria, and leishmaniasis.

Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 1,532 soldiers after they completed a biannual APFT. Self-reported injury responses determined the rates of injuries resulting from the push-up, sit-up, and 2-mile run events and were classified into three categories, i.e., all injuries, performance-limiting injuries, and time-loss injuries. Results: A total of 117 soldiers (injury rate, 7.6%) reported sustaining an injury (all injuries), with 11% attributed to the push-up event, 56% to the sit-up event, and 32% to the run event. Forty-six of these injuries reportedly limited performance (injury rate, 3.0%), and 11 soldiers received a duty-limiting profile (time-loss injury rate, 0.7%), which did not differ among events. Injury rates were not significantly associated with the number of sit-ups performed per week or the number of days per week a soldier participated in physical training and were not greater for soldiers who trained specifically for the APFT. History of previous injury was a significant risk factor for injury. Conclusion: The push-up, sit-up, and run events of the APFT do not pose a considerable acute injury risk to active duty soldiers.

Strenuous military training/ assessment provides a uniform stress and the opportunity to evaluate nutritional strategies to minimize stress-induced immune changes that predispose soldiers to infection. Immunological changes and effects of a novel nutritional immune formula (NNIF) were examined prospectively in a double-blind, controlled study of 200 soldiers attending Special Forces Assessment and Selection School. Immune function was measured by skin delayed-type hypersensitivity, lymphocyte phenotyping, mitogenic proliferative responses, and granulocyte function. Approximately 50% of soldiers completed the study (control, n = 57; NNIF, n = 50). Several stress-induced lymphocyte changes were observed (decreased mitogen-induced proliferation. T and total lymphocytes, and interferon-γ-producing lymphocytes and increased percentage of neutrophils). NNIF modified several changes, including delayed-type hypersensitivity responses (NNIF. 78%; control. 59%; p < 0.05). increased proportions of helper T cells, activation of B cells, enhanced neutrophil phagocytosis, and attenuation of declines in certain functional subpopulations (i.e., cytotoxic/ suppressor lymphocytes). Soldiers who consumed NNIF experienced less stress-induced immune impairment, thereby lowering the risk of infection.

There have been many discussions of how quality control measures from industry can be applied to the health care system. Indeed both civilian and "brick and mortar" military medical treatment facilities are adapting these techniques. It is important that we understand the principles behind Total Quality Management (TQM) as well as its techniques and limitations. TQM is based on limiting deviation from an accepted standard of practice. These principles may be as applicable to our military health care facilities in a field environment as they are to our fixed facilities, although the standards used for measurement may have to be modified to adapt to different constraints of environment and resources. TQM techniques can nonetheless be applied in virtually any facility to ensure the best possible care and outcomes for our soldiers.

By a generalization of Manakov's well-known formulas for the polarization shift of interacting vector solitons, it is shown that the multisoliton interaction process is equivalent to a sequence pairwise interactions and, moreover, the net result of the interaction is independent of the order in which such collisions occur. Further, the order-invariance is shown to be related to the fact that the map that determines the interaction of two such solitons satisfies the Yang–Baxter relation. The associated matrix factorization problem is discussed in detail and the notion of fundamental and composite solitons is elucidated. Moreover, it is shown that, in analogy with the continuous case, collisions of fundamental solitons can be described by explicit fractional linear transformations of a complex-valued scalar polarization state. Because the parameters controlling the energy switching between the two components exhibit nontrivial information transformation, they can, in principle, be used to implement logic operations.

Background: Limitation in thoracic rotation could lead to increased motion at adjacent areas (i.e., shoulders and low back). This could potentially lead to excessive strain and subsequent injury from repetitive stress. Currently, there is no well-established method to reliably measure and objectively quantify thoraco-lumbar spine rotation. Methods: Intrarater reliability was assessed by a single investigator performing three STRM measurements on 10 participants on two consecutive days. Interrater reliability was assessed by two independent examiners, performing the STRM on 30 participants. Reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) statistic. To explore the incidence and magnitude of side-to-side thoraco-lumbar rotation differences, the STRM was measured on 156 participants of various musculoskeletal conditions. Results: The intrarater reliability of the STRM was excellent (ICC=.94). The interrater reliability was good (ICC=.88). Fifty four percent of the sample exhibited greater than a 10% side-to-side difference in the STRM while twenty percent exhibited greater than a 20% side-to-side difference. Conclusion: The STRM can be used as a reliable and objective method to quantify thoraco-lumbar spine rotation. It also appears that a large percentage of patients with varied musculoskeletal complaints may have greater than a 10-20% asymmetry in spinal rotational movement. Future research is needed to determine the clinical applicability and relevance of these findings.

The conference assembled experts from the civilian sports medicine community and the Department of Defense to discuss relevant EHI issues, such as potential long-term consequences, the concept of thermo tolerance, and the role of thermal tolerance testing in return-to-play decisions. Although the group was unable to move forward with new consensus recommendations, they clearly documented critical clinical concerns and scientific questions, including the following: 1) no uniform core definitions of EHI; 2) limited validated criteria to assess recovery from exertional heat stroke (EHS); and 3) inadequate ability to predict who may be predisposed to a subsequent heat injury after EHS. Areas of potential future research are identified.

Muscle biopsies were obtained from 10 men (23 ± 1 yr, body mass 80 ± 2 kg, and VO2peak 45 ± 1 ml · kg-1 · min-1) immediately (0 hr) and 3 hr after a 60-min bout of cycle exercise (60% ± 5% VO2peak). Corresponding muscle biopsies were also obtained under resting conditions. The phosphorylation status of insulin/IGF-PI3K molecular-signaling proteins, ubiquitin-proteasome-related gene expression, FOXO transcription factors, and myogenic regulatory factors in muscle samples was analyzed using multiplex analysis, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A condition-time interaction was observed for Akt phosphorylation (p < .05) with multiplexing. Regardless of endurance exercise, Akt phosphorylation decreased and ERK phosphorylation increased at 3 hr compared with 0 hr (p < .05). Levels of p70S6K phosphorylation were 110% greater (p < .05) at 3 hr than at 0 hr using Western blots. MuRF mRNA expression postexercise increased; levels were 4.7- and 5.7-fold greater (p < .05) at 0 hr and 3 hr, respectively, than at rest with qRT-PCR. Atrogin mRNA expression was up-regulated 3.2-fold 3 hr postexercise compared with rest. These findings demonstrate modest changes in the molecular responses to moderate endurance exercise in the absence of nutrition. This study provides the groundwork for future investigations designed to optimize the metabolic conditions necessary to positively influence the cellular mechanisms specific to skeletal-muscle protein turnover during recovery from endurance exercise.

This paper provides a closer look at the specific requirements and leadership challenges that the Kinesiology and Physical Education leaders at the Academy face each day, and provides the tools and strategies employed to meet those obligations. The discussion emphasizes employment of transformational, transactional, participatory, and situational leadership, and provides a continuum of leadership behaviors available to the Kinesiology leader ranging from authoritarian-centered to participatory-centered leadership. The paper affords all leaders in higher education an opportunity to reflect on their own leadership style, and offers ideas on modifying that leadership approach to more effectively administer their own program.

The 2005 Medicare prosthetic device component prices were applied to current prosthetic and assistive-device use obtained from a national survey of 581 veterans and servicemembers with major traumatic amputations. Projections were made for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and lifetime costs based on eight Markov models. Average 5-year projected costs for prosthetic and assistive-device replacement for the Vietnam group are lower than for the OIF/OEF cohort due in part to use of fewer and less technologically advanced prosthetic devices and higher frequency of prosthetic abandonment. By limb-loss level, for the Vietnam group and OIF/OEF cohort, 5-year projected unilateral upper limb average costs are $31,129 and $117,440, unilateral lower limb costs are $82,251 and $228,665, and multiple limb costs are $130,890 and $453,696, respectively. These figures provide the VA with a funding estimate for technologically advanced prosthetic and assistive devices within the framework of ongoing rehabilitation for veterans with traumatic limb loss from the Vietnam and OIF/OEF conflicts.

The goal for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) servicemembers is to restore function to the greatest possible degree and, if they desire, return them to Active Duty, by providing them with extensive rehabilitation services and a variety of prosthetic devices. Our study determines the usefulness of these diverse types of prosthetic devices for restoring functional capability and documents prosthesis use and satisfaction. We compare servicemembers and veterans with major combat-associated unilateral lower-limb loss: 178 from the Vietnam war and 172 from OIF/OEF conflicts. Of survey participants with unilateral lower-limb loss, 84% of the Vietnam group and 94% of the OIF/OEF group currently use at least one prosthetic device. Reasons for rejection varied by type of device, but common reasons were pain, prosthesis too heavy, and poor fit. Abandonment is infrequent (11% Vietnam group, 4% OIF/OEF group). Future efforts should aim to improve prosthetic-device design, decrease pain, and improve quality of life for these veterans and servicemembers.

Through a national survey, we enrolled 47 participants from the Vietnam conflict and 50 from Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with combat-associated major unilateral upper-limb loss. Upper-limb prosthetic devices were used by 70% of the Vietnam group and 76% of the OIF/OEF group. Mechanical/body-powered upper-limb devices were favored by the Vietnam group, while a combination of myoelectric/hybrid and mechanical/ body-powered devices were favored by the OIF/OEF group. Upper-limb devices were completely abandoned in 30% of the Vietnam and 22% of the OIF/OEF groups. Abandonment was more frequent for transhumeral and more proximal levels (42% of Vietnam and 40% of OIF/OEF) than more distal limb-loss levels. Upper-limb prostheses were rejected because of dissatisfaction with the device by significantly fewer (23%) members of the Vietnam group than the OIF/OEF group (45%) (p < 0.001). Most common reasons for rejection included pain, poor comfort, and lack of functionality. A significant paradigm shift has been noted in the OIF/OEF group, who use a greater number and diversity of upper-limb prostheses than the Vietnam group.

Its complexity as a family of hormones with different isoforms arid different somatotroph molecular functions continues to challenge the status quo of our understanding of its release, function, and signaling. Owing to the fact that the majority of the literature has viewed hGH from the perspective of the primary 22 kD monomer, further investigation is needed as to the influence arid biological activity of other aggregate arid splice variant isoforms that are released into circulation. Its role over the life span and with supplementation yields equivocal results with more study needed. Testing for the use of hGH has progressed, and the first positive test was recently documented. Understanding of pituitary function and physiology will remain complex until the use of a broader range of analytical techniques, including assays, becomes mainstream.

Ten young men performed upright cycle exercise at 20, 40, and 60% of maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max in both conditions while metabolic and cardiovascular parameters were determined. Pre-exercise VO2 was not different between CON and BFR. Cardiac output (Q) was similar between the two conditions as a 25% reduction in stroke volume (SV) observed in BFR was associated with a 23% higher heart rate (HR) in BFR compared to CON. As a result rate-pressure product (RPP) was higher in the BFR but there was no difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) or total peripheral resistance (TPR). During exercise, VO2 tended to increase with BFR (∼10%) at each workload. Q increased in proportion to exercise intensity and there were no differences between conditions. The increase in SV with exercise was impaired during BFR; being ∼20% lower in BFR at each workload. Both HR and RPP were significantly greater at each workload with BFR. MAP and TPR were greater with BFR at 40 and 60% VO2max. In conclusion, the BFR employed impairs exercise SV but central cardiovascular function is maintained by an increased HR. BFR appears to result in a greater energy demand during continuous exercise between 20 and 60% of control VO2max; probably indicated by a higher energy supply and RPP. When incorporating BFR, HR and RPP may not be valid or reliable indicators of exercise intensity.

Objective: To examine the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility scores, and a history of glenohumeral joint instability within a young, physically active cohort and to describe the incidence of generalized joint hypermobility within this population. Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Patients or Other Participants: Of the 1311 members of the entering freshman class of 2010, 1050 (80%) agreed to participate. Main Outcome Measure(s): Generalized joint hypermobility was assessed using the Beighton Scale. A history of glenohumeral joint instability was identified via a baseline questionnaire. Results: Most participants (78%) had no signs of generalized joint hypermobility. Only 11 volunteers (1.5%) had Beighton Scale scores of 4 or greater. Logistic regression analysis revealed a relationship between generalized joint hypermobility and a history of glenohumeral joint instability (P = .023). When sex and race were controlled, those with a total Beighton Scale score of ≥2 were nearly 2.5 times as likely (odds ratio = 2.48, 95% confidence interval = 1.19, 5.20, P = .016) to have reported a history of glenohumeral joint instability. A relationship was observed between sex and nearly all individual Beighton Scale items. Although women had higher total Beighton Scale scores than men, sex (P = .658) and race (P = .410) were not related to a history of glenohumeral joint instability when other variables in the model were controlled. Conclusions: In these participants, generalized joint hypermobility and a history of glenohumeral joint instability were associated.

All may occur in the setting of acute altitude exposure higher than 2500 m; incidence and severity increases as altitudes or ascent rates increase. Once HAI is recognized, proven therapies should be instituted to alleviate symptoms and avert the possibility of critical illness. Allowing for acclimatization is the best strategy for preventing HAI. Acetazolamide and dexamethasone are additional preventive measures for AMS/HACE; nifedipine, salmeterol, and phosphodiesterase inhibitors are useful in preventing HAPE. Along with the immediate hazards of HAI with altitude exposure, the sport physician also should be familiar with altitude/hypoxic training practices used by athletes to enhance fitness and performance.

Almost daily we read or hear about athletes displaying poor character. Most research shows that as the level of sport competition increases, the level of character decreases. However, participating in sports, at any level, can and should build positive character. An insightful three-part exchange between Gough, Stoll, and Holowchak, discussed the merits and feasibility of measuring character through sport. Gough and Holowchak argued that the construct of "character" is too elusive and that empirical attempts to measure it lack validity. Stoll disagreed with Gough and Holowchak and developed an instrument that measures character in sport. We agree with Stoll for two reasons: 1. The problem of character in sport is too big to be ignored. 2. Attempts to measure character contribute to efforts to address the character in sport problem. These two reasons resulted in a research effort to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure the character of individuals participating in sport. The research resulted in the validation of a user friendly, less time consuming, psychometrically sound instrument that measures character in a sport setting.

Using temporally-lagged data from 213 newcomers across 12 telemarketing organizations, we found that newcomer perceptions of LMX mediate the association between supervisory socialization tactics (i.e. supervisory job-focused advice, guidance, and role modeling) and occupational identification as well as between supervisory socialization tactics and perceived person-organization fit – but not between supervisory socialization tactics and job satisfaction. Our study specifies (1) LMX as a compelling mediating mechanism within the new employee ‘on-boarding’ process and (2) the immediate supervisor as an important relational source for newcomer attitudes.

The method is a blackbox variate generation technique requiring only data pairs from the modeler. The technique is a novel nonparametric approach to density estimation, and generating variates for simulation is accomplished without explicitly computing the estimated joint density, thereby speeding up random point generation. The method presented effectively captures marginal distributions with multiple modes. The algorithm presented uses the convex hull of the observed data as a preliminary support, then generates the first element of the two-dimensional random vector via inversion of the marginal piecewise-linear cdf, and the second element from a conditional weighted piecewise-linear cdf created from selected values of the second variable.

This problem is driven by a lack of knowledge on both the capability developer and program manager teams. Addressing this knowledge gap requires a new approach to capability development, where knowledge gained early in the process is injected into the capability development process in a rigorous way. This article describes that new technical approach along with lessons learned on two large acquisition programs. Key tenets include the use of pre-planned knowledge points as a vehicle for expanded collaboration between program managers and capability developers, and early use of systems engineering fundamentals.

Trust among mobile nodes is crucial for team collaborations with new coalition partners without prior interactions for mission-driven group communication systems in battlefield situations. In addition, ensuring a certain level of trust is also critical for successful mission completion. Our work seeks to identify the optimal length of a trust chain among peers in a trust web that generates the most accurate trust levels without revealing risk based on a tradeoff between trust availability and path reliability over trust space. We define a trust metric for mission-driven group communication systems in mobile ad hoc networks to properly reflect unique characteristics of trust concepts and demonstrate that an optimal trust chain length exists for generating the most accurate trust levels for trust-based collaboration among peers in mobile ad hoc networks while meeting trust availability and path reliability requirements.

Some of the participants saw an integrated presentation in which each segment of words was presented near its corresponding area of the diagram (integrated group, Experiments 1 and 3) or an integrated presentation that also included additional labels identifying each part (integrated-with-labels group, Experiment 2), whereas others saw a separated presentation in which the words were presented as a paragraph below the diagrams (separated group, Experiments 1 and 2) or as a legend below the diagrams (legend group, Experiment 3). On measures of cognitive processing during learning, the integrated groups made significantly more eye-movements from text to diagram and vice versa (integrative transitions; d = 1.65 in Experiment 1, d = 0.85 in Experiment 2, and d = 1.44 in Experiment 3) and significantly more eye-movements from the text to the corresponding part of the diagram (corresponding transitions; d = 2.02 in Experiment I and d = 1.35 in Experiment 3) than the separated groups. On measures of learning outcome the integrated groups significantly outperformed the separated groups on transfer test score in Experiment 1(d = .80) and Experiment 2 (d = .73) but not in Experiment 3 (d = .35). Spatial contiguity encourages more attempts to integrate words and pictures and enables more successful integration of words and pictures during learning, which can result in meaningful learning outcomes.

Applied Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 18 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 95 EP - 108 SN - 1076898X AB - Caffeine has become the most prevalently consumed psychostimulant in the world, but its influences on daily real-world functioning are relatively unknown. The present work investigated the effects of caffeine (0 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg) on a commonplace language task that required readers to identify and correct 4 error types in extended discourse: simple local errors (misspelling 1- to 2-syllable words), complex local errors (misspelling 3- to 5-syllable words), simple global errors (incorrect homophones), and complex global errors (incorrect subject-verb agreement and verb tense). In 2 placebo-controlled, double-blind studies using repeated-measures designs, we found higher detection and repair rates for complex global errors, asymptoting at 200 mg in low consumers (Experiment 1) and peaking at 400 mg in high consumers (Experiment 2). In both cases, covariate analyses demonstrated that arousal state mediated the relationship between caffeine consumption and the detection and repair of complex global errors. Detection and repair rates for the other 3 error types were not affected by caffeine consumption. Taken together, we demonstrate that caffeine has differential effects on error detection and repair as a function of dose and error type, and this relationship is closely tied to caffeine's effects on subjective arousal state. These results support the notion that central nervous system stimulants may enhance global processing of language-based materials and suggest that such effects may originate in caffeine-related right hemisphere brain processes. Implications for understanding the relationships between caffeine consumption and real-world cognitive functioning are discussed.

To address this question, the authors introduce a developmental model for character growth. The model proposes that the integration of the leader's core values and beliefs into the self-identity is at the heart of character development. The supporting character strengths of agency, self-awareness, self- regulation, self-motivation, and social awareness and connection to others assist in the internalization and integration of core values, beliefs, and moral standards into leaders' identities and also ensure consistent moral and ethical behavior. The authors then introduce the spiritual leadership model and discuss how it can be used to develop character in the workplace. Implications for theory, research, and practice of character development through spiritual leadership are discussed.

JO - Cognitive Science JF - Cognitive Science Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 36 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1449 EP - 1467 SN - 03640213 AB - The present studies examined whether implied tactile properties during language comprehension influence subsequent direct tactile perception, and the specificity of any such effects. Participants read sentences that implicitly conveyed information regarding tactile properties (e.g., Grace tried on a pair of thick corduroy pants while shopping) that were either related or unrelated to fabrics and varied in implied texture (smooth, medium, rough). After reading each sentence, participants then performed an unrelated rating task during which they felt and rated the texture of a presented fabric. Results demonstrated that the texture properties implied in sentences influence direct tactile perception. Specifically, after reading about a smooth or rough texture, subsequent fabric ratings became notably smoother or rougher, respectively. However, we also show that there was some specificity to these effects: Fabric-related sentences elicited more specific and interactive effects on subsequent ratings. Together, we demonstrate that under certain circumstances, language comprehension can prime tactile representations and affect direct tactile perception. Results are discussed with regard to the nature and scope of multimodal mental simulation during reading.

Many authors have suggested using our values (or preferences) to define the criteria we use to evaluate alternatives. Value-focused thinking (VFT) is an important philosophy that advocates a more fundamental view of values in our decision making in our private and professional lives. VFT proponents advocate starting first with our values and then using our values to create decision opportunities, evaluate alternatives and finally develop improved alternatives. It has been 20 years since VFT was first introduced by Ralph Keeney. This paper surveys the VFT literature to provide a comprehensive summary of the significant applications, describe the main research developments and identify areas for future research. We review the scope and magnitude of VFT applications and the key developments in theory since VFT was introduced in 1992 and found 89 papers written in 29 journals from 1992 to 2010. We develop about 20 research questions that include the type of article (application, theory, case study, etc.), the size of the decision space (which, when given, ranged from $200K to billions of dollars), the contribution documented in the article (application benefits) and the research contributions (categorized by preferences, uncertainties and alternatives). After summarizing the answers to these questions, we conclude the paper with suggestions for improving VFT applications and potential future research. We found a large number of significant VFT applications and several useful research contributions. We also found an increasing number of VFT papers written by international authors.

(2011) Backfire: Behavioral Decision Making and the Strategic Risks of Successful Surprise. Foreign Policy Analysis, doi: 10.1111/j.1743-8594.2011.00165.x States attempting surprise attacks usually achieve tactical success in catching an opponent unprepared. Many studies of surprise do not look beyond the opening bolt from the blue to examine the impact of surprise based on the broader strategic objectives. A comparative case study of centrally planned surprise attacks from 1950 to 1990 suggests that surprise rarely achieves strategic ends. They did not deter the targets from military action, and more surprisingly, did not contribute to less deadly wars. This runs counter to conventional beliefs about surprise, since attacks are supposed to impair a target's desire or ability to mount a military response. Instead, the most damaging surprises are followed by particularly bloody conflict, a phenomenon referred to here as backfire. The article examines a number of possible strategic explanations for this empirical pattern and ultimately concludes that behavioral decision-making processes characterized by prospect theory offer the best possible explanation. An increased propensity for risk, resulting from the losses suffered during a large surprise, drives target military reaction despite the lower likelihood of success.

To reduce costs associated with product non-conformance or excessive waste, engineers often identify the most critical quality characteristics and then use methods to obtain their ideal parameter settings. The optimal process mean problem is one such statistical method; it begins with the assumption of the characteristic parameters, whereby the ideal settings are determined based upon the tradeoff among various processing costs. Unfortunately, however, the ideal parameter settings for a characteristic mean can be unpredictable, as it is directly influenced by changes in the process variability, tolerance, and cost structure. In this paper, a method is proposed that relates the optimal process mean to the ideal settings through experimental design. With the method, one may gain greater predictability of the new optimal process mean when the process conditions are altered. The methodology is illustrated for a process with multiple mixed quality characteristics; such an optimal process mean problem is seldom treated in the literature.

The technique involves modeling each characteristic using response surface designs and then transforming the characteristics into a single performance measure. The traditional procedure, however, calls for estimating only the mean response; the variability among the characteristics is not considered. Furthermore, the approach typically relies on the accuracy of second-order polynomials in its estimation, which are not always suitable. This paper, in contrast, proposes a methodology that utilizes higher-order estimation techniques and incorporates the concepts of robust design to account for process variability. Several examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

JO - Organizational Research Methods JF - Organizational Research Methods Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 15 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 463 EP - 487 SN - 10944281 AB - Assessment of noncognitive constructs in organizational research and practice is challenging because of response biases that can distort test scores. Researchers must also deal with time constraints and the ensuing trade-offs between test length and the number of constructs measured. This article describes a novel way of improving the efficiency of noncognitive assessments using computer adaptive testing (CAT) with multidimensional pairwise preference (MDPP) items. Tests composed of MDPP items are part of a broader family of forced choice measures that ask respondents to choose between two or more equally desirable statements in an effort to combat response distortion. The authors conducted four computer simulations to explore the influences of test design, dimensionality, and the advantages of adaptive item selection for trait score and error estimation with tests involving as many as 25 dimensions. Overall, adaptive MDPP testing produced gains in accuracy over nonadaptive MDPP tests comparable to those observed with traditional unidimensional CATs. In addition, an empirical illustration involving a 15-dimension MDPP CAT administered in a field setting showed patterns of correlations that were consistent with expectations, thus showing construct validity.

JO - Group & Organization Management JF - Group & Organization Management Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 37 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 137 EP - 170 SN - 10596011 AB - Swift starting action teams (STATs) are increasingly prevalent in organizations, and the development of trust is often a critical issue for their effectiveness. However, current theory and research do not provide a clear picture regarding how trust toward the team (i.e., the team as the target) is developed in these settings. The primary contribution of this article is to present a theoretical framework describing how individual-level trust toward one’s team is developed in STAT contexts. This article integrates several existing trust theories into one comprehensive context-specific multilevel theory of how trust develops in STATs from cognitive, affective, behavioral, and contextual perspectives. This framework furthers our understanding of the unique antecedents of initial trust in STATs, how trust attitudes are adjusted over the short amount of time the team interacts, and how the team context influences this developmental process.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 50 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 55 SN - 01636804 AB - Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming prevalent in tactical networks as they are proving to be an extremely flexible platform for a variety of applications. Increasingly, UAVs need to cooperate with each other in order to perform complex tasks such as target monitoring and prosecution, information gathering and processing, and delivery between disconnected portions of the network. However, UAV cooperation in tactical scenarios represents a major challenge from both the coordination and communication perspectives. In fact, cooperating UAVs must achieve a high degree of coordination in order to accomplish complex tasks in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In turn, as UAVs interact with other entities, the effective coordination of multiple-UAV operations requires specific support in terms of efficient communication protocols and mechanisms exploiting UAVs as mobile assets that facilitate and hasten critical information flows. This article presents a series of considerations and lessons learned that we have collected in our experience with multiple- UAV coordination and communications in tactical edge networks, and discusses some of the main components of a middleware we specifically designed to support multiple-UAV operations.

Although traditional psychology or sociology may be thought of when dealing with groups, this paper goes beyond those fields to explore physiology, biorhythms, human ethology, herd instinct, group think, territoriality, cohesion, team work, learned helplessness, human nonverbal communication, decision fatigue, and media multitasking. Underlying biological principles dealing with phylogenetic and physiological behavioral adaptations are described, along with their potential influence on meeting participants in facilitated gatherings. Suggested strategies for recognizing and dealing with associated behaviors such as territoriality, learned helplessness, and decision fatigue are offered to give facilitation professionals some effective tools for improving meeting outcomes.

The goal of this study was to quantitatively assess the research on generational differences in work-related attitudes and to provide guidance for future research and practice. Design/Methodology/Approach: We conducted a meta-analysis of generational differences on three work-related criteria: job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to turnover. Our review of published and unpublished research found 20 studies allowing for 18 generational pairwise comparisons across four generations (Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials) on these outcomes using 19,961 total subjects. Findings: Corrected mean differences for job satisfaction ranged from .02 to .25, for organizational commitment they ranged from −.22 to .46, and for intent to turnover the range was −.62 to .05. The pattern of results indicates that the relationships between generational membership and work-related outcomes are moderate to small, essentially zero in many cases. Implications: The findings suggest that meaningful differences among generations probably do not exist on the work-related variables we examined and that the differences that appear to exist are likely attributable to factors other than generational membership. Given these results, targeted organizational interventions addressing generational differences may not be effective. Originality/Value: This is the first known quantitative review of research on generational differences in the workplace.

However, precisely which candidate genes are associated with the family environment is largely unknown. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Results provide some evidence that three genes of the dopaminergic system (Dopamine D2 receptor gene [DRD2], Dopamine D4 receptor gene [DRD4], and Dopamine transporter gene [DAT1]) are associated with variation in measures of maternal negativity, paternal negativity, and childhood maltreatment for Caucasian males. We speak to what these findings mean for criminological theory and research that focuses on family socialization as an important factor in the etiology of crime and related antisocial behaviors.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of Q fever, a disease that is often spread to humans via inhalational exposure to the bacteria from contaminated agricultural sources. Outbreaks have been observed all over the world with larger foci generating interest in vaccination programs, most notably in Australia and the Netherlands. Importantly, exposure rates among military personnel deployed to the Middle East can be relatively high as measured by seroconversion to C. burnetii-specific antibodies. Q fever has been of interest to the biodefense community over the years due to its low infectious dose and environmental stability. Recent advances in cell-free growth and genetics of C. burnetii also make this organism easier to culture and manipulate. While there is a vaccine that is licensed for use in Australia, the combination of biodefense- and public health-related issues associated with Q fever warrant the development of a safer and more effective vaccine against this disease.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Purpose: Mortality rates in the U.S. Army from 2005 to 2011 were examined over time and compared to the U.S. general population. Method: Cases were U.S. Army Soldiers (active duty or activated National Guard/Reserve) with dates of death between 2005 and 2011 and between 18 and 64 years of age in the Department of Defense Medical Mortality Registry. Age- and sex-adjusted annual mortality rates (AR) were calculated for each category of death and examined via linear regression. Proportions of underlying causes of death were also examined. Results: The trend in AR in the U.S. Army significantly decreased for combat deaths, the average annual percent change (AAPC)=15.2% decrease in the log of the rate (LAR); p=0.04 and accident deaths, AAPC=5.4% decrease in the LAR; p=0.002 and significantly increased for suicides, AAPC=10.6% increase in the LAR; p=0.001. The trend in AR for suicides for the Army was significantly different compared to the U.S. general population, AAPC=11.0% increase in the LAR; p<0.001. Conclusions: Trends in rates of combat deaths and accident deaths declined although rates of suicides increased. The Army suicide rate increased in comparison to the United States. 70% of accident deaths were transportation related. Almost 70% of suicides and homicides were firearm related.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - After preliminary assessment of virulence in AKR/J, DBA/1, BALB/c, and C57BL/6 mice, we investigated histopathologic changes in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice infected with type A (strain SCHU S4) or type B (strain 425) Francisella tularensis by aerosol exposure. In mice exposed to type A infection, changes in histologic presentation were not apparent until day 3 after infection, when pyogranulomatous inflammation was detected in spleens and livers of BALB/c mice, and in lungs and spleens of C57BL/6 mice. Histopathologic changes were most severe and widespread in both mouse strains on day 5 after infection and seemed to completely resolve within 22 d of challenge. BALB/c mice were more resistant than C57BL/6 mice in lethal-dose calculations, but C57BL/6 mice cleared the infection more rapidly. Mice similarly challenged with type B F. tularensis also developed histopathologic signs of infection beginning on day 3. The most severe changes were noted on day 8 and were characterized by granulomatous or pyogranulomatous infiltrations of the lungs. Unlike type A infection, lesions due to type B did not resolve over time and remained 3 wk after infection. In type B, but not type A, infection we noted extensive inflammation of the heart muscle. Although no microorganisms were found in tissues of type A survivors beyond 9 d after infection, mice surviving strain 425 infection had a low level of residual infection at 3 wk after challenge. The histopathologic presentation of tularemia caused by F. tularensis types A and B in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice bears distinct similarities to tularemia in humans.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Background: Since 1997, human-biting ticks submitted to the Department of Defense Human Tick Test Kit Program (HTTKP) of the US Army Public Health Command have been tested for pathogens by PCR. We noted differences in the phenology and infection prevalence among Ixodes scapularis ticks submitted from military installations in different geographic regions. The aim of this study was to characterize these observed differences, comparing the phenology and pathogen infection rates of I. scapularis submitted from soldiers at two sites in the upper Midwest (Camp Ripley, MN, and Ft. McCoy, WI) and one site in the northeastern US (Ft. Indian town Gap, PA). Methods: From 1997 through 2012, the HTTKP received 1,981 I. scapularis from the three installations and tested them for Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia microti, Borrelia burgdorferi and the Ehrlichia muris-like (EML) agent using PCR; pathogen presence was confirmed via sequencing or amplification of a second gene target. Pathogen and co-infection prevalence, tick engorgement status, and phenology were compared among installations. Results: Greater rates of A. phagocytophilum and Ba. microti infections were detected in ticks submitted from installations in Minnesota than in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, and the EML agent was only detected in ticks from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Midwestern ticks were also more likely to be co-infected than those from Pennsylvania. Both adult and nymphal ticks showed evidence of feeding on people, although nymphs were more often submitted engorged. Adult I. scapularis were received more frequently in June from Minnesota than from either of the other sites. Minnesota adult and nymphal peaks overlapped in June, and submissions of adults exceeded nymphs in that month. Conclusions: There were clear differences in I. scapularis phenology, pathogen prevalence and rates of co-infection among the three military installations. Seasonal and temperature differences between the three sites and length of time a population had been established in each region may contribute to the observed differences. The synchrony of adults and nymphs observed in the upper Midwest has implications for pathogen infection prevalence. The EML agent was only detected in Minnesota and Wisconsin, supporting the previous assertion that this pathogen is currently limited to the upper Midwest.

Subject Subsets: Pig Science; Human Nutrition N2 - Objectives: Easily administrated cyanide antidotes are needed for first responders, military troops, and emergency department staff after cyanide exposure in mass casualty incidents or due to smoke inhalation during fires involving many victims. Hydroxocobalamin has proven to be an effective antidote, but cannot be given intramuscularly because the volume of diluent needed is too large. Thus, intraosseous (IO) infusion may be an alternative, as it is simple and has been recommended for the administration of other resuscitation drugs. The primary objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of IO delivery of hydroxocobalamin to intravenous (IV) injection for the management of acute cyanide toxicity in a well-described porcine model. Methods: Twenty-four swine (45 to 55 kg) were anesthetized, intubated, and instrumented with continuous mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac output monitoring. Cyanide was continuously infused until severe hypotension (50% of baseline MAP), followed by IO or IV hydroxocobalamin treatment. Animals were randomly assigned to receive IV (150 mg/kg) or IO (150 mg/kg) hydroxocobalamin and monitored for 60 minutes after start of antidotal infusion. The primary outcome measure was the change in MAP after antidotal treatment from onset of hypotension (time zero) to 60 minutes. A sample size of 12 animals per group was determined by group size analysis based on power of 80% to detect a one standard deviation of the mean MAP between the groups with an alpha of 0.05. Whole blood cyanide, lactate, pH, nitrotyrosine (nitric oxide marker) levels, cerebral and renal near infrared spectrometry (NIRS) oxygenation, and inflammatory markers were also measured. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to determine statistically significant changes between groups over time. Results: At baseline and at the point of hypotension, physiologic parameters were similar between groups. At the conclusion of the study, 10 out of 12 animals in the IV group and 10 out of 12 in IO group survived (p=1.0). Both groups demonstrated a similar return to baseline MAP (p=0.997). Cardiac output, oxygen saturation, and systemic vascular resistance were also found to be similar between groups (p>0.4), and no difference was detected between bicarbonate, pH, and lactate levels (p>0.8). Cyanide levels were undetectable after the hydroxocobalamin infusion throughout the study in both groups (p=1.0). Cerebral and renal NIRS oxygenation decreased in parallel to MAP during cyanide infusion and increased after antidote infusion in both groups. Serum nitrotyrosine increased during cyanide infusion in all animals and then decreased in both study arms after hydroxocobalamin infusion (p>0.5). Serum cytokines increased starting at cyanide infusion and no difference was detected between groups (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, and IL-10). Conclusions: The authors found no difference in the efficacy of IV versus IO hydroxocobalamin in the treatment of severe cyanide toxicity in a validated porcine model.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Increasingly, private and military consumers are becoming aware of the positive benefits of a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) as health claims range from reducing inflammation to improving mood. The number of positive scientific articles supporting these claims is rapidly increasing, leading the military to examine the possibility of omega-3 supplementation for personnel. A variety of menus used either in shipboard or garrison feeding include fatty fishes that are rich in omega-3 FAs. However, omega-3 FAs have shelf-stability issues because of their susceptibility to oxidize; therefore, they create a challenge in terms of incorporation into ration components in nutritionally significant amounts. As a result, the Department of Defense Combat Feeding Directorate is investigating methods, technologies, and emerging products for incorporation of omega-3s into ration components. Based on existing research, fortification of foods with omega-3 FAs would improve nutritional quality as well as provide added benefit to the Warfighters.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; World Agriculture, Economics & Rural Sociology; Irrigation & Drainage; Rural Development N2 - Complex socioeconomic and ecological issues, ranging from impaired streams to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, have made nutrient management an increasingly important issue across the USA. High flows during 2010 and 2011 provided a unique opportunity to investigate trends in discharge, total nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite, total phosphorus, ortho-phosphorus, suspended sediment and total suspended solids during two distinct high-flow years on the Missouri River. We compared collections taken during 2010 and 2011 at 12 lower Missouri River locations (river kilometers 1212 to 71) and 22 Missouri River tributary locations. During 2011, average concentrations for all sampled parameters were significantly lower, despite significantly higher total discharge, than 2010 concentrations. Differences in water chemistry between years are likely attributed to the primary source of water. Tributary inflow created high flows during 2010, whereas record releases from Gavins Point Dam created high flows during 2011. Analysis of flow estimated the contribution of these releases at each site and revealed strong positive relationships between the percentage of estimated tributary flow at each site and the concentrations of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total suspended solids. These monitoring efforts underline the contrasting impacts that tributary streams and reservoir releases have on nutrient export of the Missouri River during high-flow events and reveal a larger trend of increased nutrient concentrations as the proportion of Missouri River tributary flow increased.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - We investigated a mixed outbreak of Legionnaires' disease (LD) and Pontiac fever (PF) at a military base to identify the outbreak's environmental source as well as known legionellosis risk factors. Base workers with possible legionellosis were interviewed and, if consenting, underwent testing for legionellosis. A retrospective cohort study collected information on occupants of the buildings closest to the outbreak source. We identified 29 confirmed and probable LD and 38 PF cases. All cases were exposed to airborne pathogens from a cooling tower. Occupants of the building closest to the cooling tower were 6.9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.2-22.0] and 5.5 (95% CI 2.1-14.5) times more likely to develop LD and PF, respectively, than occupants of the next closest building. Thorough preventive measures and aggressive responses to outbreaks, including searching for PF cases in mixed legionellosis outbreaks, are essential for legionellosis control.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Whether to restart or continue the series when anthrax vaccine doses are missed is a frequent medical management problem. We applied the noninferiority analysis model to this prospective study comparing the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) IgG antibody response and lethal toxin neutralization activity at day 28 to the anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) (Biothrax®) administered on schedule or delayed. A total of 600 volunteers were enrolled: 354 in the on-schedule cohort; 246 in the delayed cohort. Differences were noted in immune responses between cohorts (p<0.0001) and among the racial categories (p<0.0001). Controlling for covariates, the delayed cohort was non-inferior to the on-schedule cohort for the rate of 4-fold rise in both anti-PA IgG concentration (p<0.0001) and TNA ED50 titers (p<0.0001); as well as the mean log10-transformed anti-PA IgG concentration (p<0.0001) and the mean log10-transformed TNA ED50 titers (p<0.0001). Providing a missed AVA dose after a delay as long as 5-7 years, elicits anti-PA IgG antibody and TNA ED50 responses that are robust and non-inferior to the responses observed when the 6-month dose is given on-schedule. These important data suggest it is not necessary to restart the series when doses of the anthrax vaccine are delayed as long as 5 or more years.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - Polyvalent vaccines use a mixture of Ags representing distinct pathogen strains to induce an immune response that is cross-reactive and protective. However, such approaches often have mixed results, and it is unclear how polyvalency alters the fine specificity of the Ab response and what those consequences might be for protection. In this article, we present a coarse-grain theoretical model of B cell affinity maturation during monovalent and polyvalent vaccinations that predicts the fine specificity and cross-reactivity of the Ab response. We stochastically simulate affinity maturation using a population dynamics approach in which the host B cell repertoire is represented explicitly, and individual B cell subpopulations undergo rounds of stimulation, mutation, and differentiation. Ags contain multiple epitopes and are present in subpopulations of distinct pathogen strains, each with varying degrees of cross-reactivity at the epitope level. This epitope- and strain-specific model of affinity maturation enables us to study the composition of the polyclonal response in granular detail and identify the mechanisms driving serum specificity and cross-reactivity. We applied this approach to predict the Ab response to a polyvalent vaccine based on the highly polymorphic malaria Ag apical membrane antigen-1. Our simulations show how polyvalent apical membrane Ag-1 vaccination alters the selection pressure during affinity maturation to favor cross-reactive B cells to both conserved and strain-specific epitopes and demonstrate how a polyvalent vaccine with a small number of strains and only moderate allelic coverage may be broadly neutralizing. Our findings suggest that altered fine specificity and enhanced cross-reactivity may be a universal feature of polyvalent vaccines.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant to counter sleep-loss effects. While the pharmacokinetics of caffeine in the body is well-understood, its alertness-restoring effects are still not well characterized. In fact, mathematical models capable of predicting the effects of varying doses of caffeine on objective measures of vigilance are not available. In this paper, we describe a phenomenological model of the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) performance of sleep-deprived subjects. We used the two-process model of sleep regulation to quantify performance during sleep loss in the absence of caffeine and a dose-dependent multiplier factor derived from the Hill equation to model the effects of single and repeated caffeine doses. We developed and validated the model fits and predictions on PVT lapse (number of reaction times exceeding 500 ms) data from two separate laboratory studies. At the population-average level, the model captured the effects of a range of caffeine doses (50-300 mg), yielding up to a 90% improvement over the two-process model. Individual-specific caffeine models, on average, predicted the effects up to 23% better than population-average caffeine models. The proposed model serves as a useful tool for predicting the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on the PVT performance of sleep-deprived subjects and, therefore, can be used for determining caffeine doses that optimize the timing and duration of peak performance.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Background: Bacterial pathogenicity represents a major public health concern worldwide. Secretion systems are a key component of bacterial pathogenicity, as they provide the means for bacterial proteins to penetrate host-cell membranes and insert themselves directly into the host cells' cytosol. Burkholderia mallei is a Gram-negative bacterium that uses multiple secretion systems during its host infection life cycle. To date, the identities of secretion system proteins for B. mallei are not well known, and their pathogenic mechanisms of action and host factors are largely uncharacterized. Description We present the Database of Burkholderia mallei Secretion Systems (DBSecSys), a compilation of manually curated and computationally predicted bacterial secretion system proteins and their host factors. Currently, DBSecSys contains comprehensive experimentally and computationally derived information about B. mallei strain ATCC 23344. The database includes 143 B. mallei proteins associated with five secretion systems, their 1,635 human and murine interacting targets, and the corresponding 2,400 host-B. mallei interactions. The database also includes information about 10 pathogenic mechanisms of action for B. mallei secretion system proteins inferred from the available literature. Additionally, DBSecSys provides details about 42 virulence attenuation experiments for 27 B. mallei secretion system proteins. Users interact with DBSecSys through a Web interface that allows for data browsing, querying, visualizing, and downloading. Conclusions: DBSecSys provides a comprehensive, systematically organized resource of experimental and computational data associated with B. mallei secretion systems. It provides the unique ability to study secretion systems not only through characterization of their corresponding pathogen proteins, but also through characterization of their host-interacting partners.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Soldiers from a brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, were alleged to have committed numerous crimes, including murder of civilians, during a recent deployment. This study was done to assist the command with (1) analyzing the climate and challenges facing redeploying Soldiers; (2) assessing behavioral risk at both individual and unit levels through targeted reintegration screening; and (3) recommending mitigating strategies to enhance current reintegration processes and reduce the level of high-risk behavior among Soldiers following deployment. The findings from this public health investigation suggest levels of risk and major areas of concern during the redeployment period varied across battalions within the brigade and that risk stratification postdeployment was not correlated with discernible differences in predeployment indicators. Acts of violence were limited to the deployment and immediate postdeployment periods and were allegedly perpetrated by a very small number of Soldiers.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Monitoring cell growth and measuring physical features of food-borne pathogenic bacteria are important for better understanding the conditions under which these organisms survive and proliferate. To address this challenge, buoyant masses of live and dead Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria innocua were measured using Archimedes, a commercially available suspended microchannel resonator (SMR). Cell growth was monitored with Archimedes by observing increased cell concentration and buoyant mass values of live growing bacteria. These growth data were compared to optical density measurements obtained with a Bioscreen system. We observed buoyant mass measurements with Archimedes at cell concentrations between 105 and 108 cells/ml, while growth was not observed with optical density measurements until the concentration was 107 cells/ml. Buoyant mass measurements of live and dead cells with and without exposure to hydrogen peroxide stress were also compared; live cells generally had a larger buoyant mass than dead cells. Additionally, buoyant mass measurements were used to determine cell density and total mass for both live and dead cells. Dead E. coli cells were found to have a larger density and smaller total mass than live E. coli cells. In contrast, density was the same for both live and dead L. innocua cells, while the total mass was greater for live than for dead cells. These results contribute to the ongoing challenge to further develop existing technologies used to observe cell populations at low concentrations and to measure unique physical features of cells that may be useful for developing future diagnostics.

Subject Subsets: Soyabeans; Dairy Science; Human Nutrition N2 - High-protein (HP) diets may attenuate bone loss during energy restriction. The objective of the current study was to determine whether HP diets suppress bone turnover and improve bone quality in male rats during food restriction and whether dietary protein source affects this relation. Eighty 12-wk-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to consume 1 of 4 study diets under ad libitum (AL) control or restricted conditions [40% food restriction (FR)]: (1) 10% [normal-protein (NP)] milk protein; (2) 32% (HP) milk protein; (3) 10% (NP) soy protein; or (4) 32% (HP) soy protein. After 16 wk, markers of bone turnover, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture, strength, and expression of duodenal calcium channels were assessed. FR increased bone turnover and resulted in lower femoral trabecular bone volume (P<0.05), higher cortical bone surface (P<0.001), and reduced femur length (P<0.01), bending moment (P<0.05), and moment of inertia (P=0.001) compared with AL. HP intake reduced bone turnover and tended to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) (P=0.06) and increase trabecular vBMD (P<0.05) compared with NP but did not affect bone strength. Compared with milk, soy suppressed PTH (P<0.05) and increased cortical vBMD (P<0.05) and calcium content of the femur (P<0.01) but did not affect strength variables. During AL conditions, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6 was higher for soy than milk (P<0.05) and HP compared with NP (P<0.05). These data demonstrate that both HP and soy diets suppress PTH, and HP attenuates bone turnover and increases vBMD regardless of FR, although these differences do not affect bone strength. The effects of HP and soy may be due in part to enhanced intestinal calcium transporter expression.

Number of References: 32 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health N2 - Rapid pathogen detection is crucial for the timely introduction of therapeutics. Two groups (one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States) independently evaluated inhibitor-resistant PCR reagents for the direct testing of substrates. In the United Kingdom, a multiplexed Bacillus anthracis (target) and Bacillus subtilis (internal-control) PCR was used to evaluate 4 reagents against 5 PCR inhibitors and down-selected the TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step master mix (Life Technologies Inc.). In the United States, four real-time PCR assays (targeting B. anthracis, Brucella melitensis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus [VEEV], and Orthopoxvirus spp.) were used to evaluate 5 reagents (plus the Fast Virus master mix) against buffer, blood, and soil samples and down-selected the KAPA Blood Direct master mix (KAPA Biosystems Inc.) with added Platinum Taq (Life Technologies). The down-selected reagents underwent further testing. In the United Kingdom experiments, both reagents were tested against seven contrived aerosol collector samples containing B. anthracis Ames DNA and B. subtilis spores from a commercial formulation (BioBall). In PCR assays with reaction mixtures containing 40% crude sample, an airfield-collected sample induced inhibition of the B. subtilis PCR with the KAPA reagent and complete failure of both PCRs with the Fast Virus reagent. However, both reagents allowed successful PCR for all other samples - which inhibited PCRs with a non-inhibitor-resistant reagent. In the United States, a cross-assay limit-of-detection (LoD) study in blood was conducted. The KAPA Blood Direct reagent allowed the detection of agent DNA (by four PCRs) at higher concentrations of blood in the reaction mixture (2.5%) than the Fast Virus reagent (0.5%), although LoDs differed between assays and reagent combinations. Across both groups, the KAPA Blood Direct reagent was determined to be the optimal reagent for inhibition relief in PCR.

In this study, anin vitro, air-liquid interface exposure model has been tested to examine its potential application for screening treatments for phosgene (carbonyl chloride)-induced pulmonary injury. Epithelial cultures on Transwell®inserts, combined with a Vitrocell®exposure apparatus, provided a physiologically relevant exposure environment. Differentiated human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cultures were exposed for 8 min to phosgene ranging from 0 to 64 ppm and assessed for changes in transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER, epithelial barrier integrity), cellular viability (XTT) and post-exposure (PE) cellular metabolic energy status. Exposure to phosgene concentrations ≥8 ppm caused dose-dependent and significant decreases in TEER and XTT which did not recover within 24-h PE. In addition, at 64 ppm the rate of oxidative glutamine metabolism was significantly inhibited at 6 and 24 h after exposure. Glycolytic activities (glucose utilization and lactate production) were also inhibited, but to a lesser extent. Decreased glycolytic function can translate to insufficient energy sources to counteract barrier function failure. Consistent and sensitive markers of phosgene exposure were TEER, cell viability and decreased metabolism. As such, we have assessed an appropriatein vitromodel of phosgene inhalation that produced quantifiable alterations in markers of lung cell metabolism and injury in human airway epithelial cells. Data indicate the suitability of this model for testing classes of anti-edemagenic compounds such as corticosteroids or phosphodiesterase inhibitors for evaluating phosgene therapeutics.

Design: Cross-sectional analyses of a nationally-representative study. Study sample: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data collected between 1999 and 2012 were used. Over 60 thousand reflex traces obtained from 15,106 NHANES participants were used in the study, along with demographic, audiometric, health and exposure variables obtained in that study. Results: Acoustic reflexes were not sufficiently prevalent to be deemed pervasive by any detection method or in any subgroup defined by age or audiometric characteristics. The odds of observing acoustic reflexes were greater for women, young adults, and people with better hearing sensitivity. Abnormally high tympanometric admittance and “Other” race/ethnicity (i.e. people who do not self-identify as exclusively Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Mexican–American, or Hispanic) were associated with lower odds. Conclusions: Acoustic reflexes are not sufficiently prevalent to be included in DRC and HHA for impulsive noise.

Four hearing loss profiles were tested in each round (no hearing loss, mild, moderate and severe) and four rounds were played to make up a match. This allowed counterbalancing of simulated hearing loss across participants.Study sample: Forty-three participants across two data collection sites (Fort Detrick, Maryland and the United States Military Academy, New York). All participants self-reported normal hearing except for two who reported mild hearing loss.Results: Impaired hearing had a greater impact on the offensive capabilities of participants than it did on their “survival”, likely due to the tendency for individuals with simulated impairment to adopt a more conservative behavioural strategy than those with normal hearing.Conclusions: These preliminary results provide valuable insights into the impact of impaired hearing on combat effectiveness, with implications for the development of improved auditory fitness-for-duty standards, the establishment of performance requirements for hearing protection technologies, and the refinement of strategies to train military personnel on how to use hearing protection in combat environments.

However, it is essential to evaluate long-term performance of the phase change materials and cost-effectiveness prior to full-scale implementation. For this reason, we have used the accelerated longterm approach for studying the thermal performance and chemical stability of a commercially available bio-based phase change material during thermal cycling over a simulated period of 20 years. The phase change material was subjected to accelerate thermal aging under controlled environmental conditions. Small samples of the phase change material were periodically removed to measure its latent heat, thermal decomposition, and chemical stability using various analytical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The topographic changes in the phase change material due to the aging process were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The differential scanning calorimetry data indicate a significant reduction of 12% in the latent heat during heating and cooling cycles during the initial 6.2 years remain nearly constant thereafter. The thermogravimetry analysis results showed that the phase change material has excellent thermal stability within the working temperature range and also shows long-term decomposition temperature stability. The Fourier transform infrared spectra of the phase change material indicate absorption of moisture but the phase change material was chemically stable over the duration of accelerated aging cycles. After several aging cycles, the baseline surface morphology appeared to be changed from uniform mix of phase change material with microstructures to segregated microstructures as evidenced by the observation of the scanning electron micrographs.

Previous research shows military affiliated cadets, especially males, are substantially less approving of women serving in military jobs, especially those involving exposure to direct combat or command positions, than are other college students. The current study extends these findings by considering political ideology in addition to gender and military affiliation, as related to attitudes toward women's roles in the military overall and in combat roles in particular. Survey data from Service Academy cadets (n = 3,116), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets (n = 1,367), and nonmilitary affiliated college students (n = 2,648), provided measures of whether a woman should or should not be allowed to serve in 9 different military job areas. In addition to overall approval, a scale for combat jobs was created from a subset of 4 of the jobs. Regression analysis indicated that once gender, political party, political position (left/right), and attitudes toward mothers in the workforce overall were controlled, type of college did not add to the prediction of acceptance of women in various military roles. In general, nonmilitary affiliated respondents, women, and those identifying as Democrat offered higher approval scores. Our findings suggest more aggressive programs, designed to educate and socialize these future leaders about women's roles in the military, may require development.

To evaluate whether NTO produces additional reproductive and developmental effects, a modified extended one-generation reproductive toxicity test was conducted. Rats were provided ad libitum access to NTO in drinking water at 0-, 144-, 720-, or 3600-mg/L NTO. Treatment of the parental generation began 2 (females) and 4 (males) wk premating and continued until weaning of litters. Direct dosing of offspring (F1) occurred from weaning through puberty. Pups were counted and weighed on postnatal day (PND) 0/1. Anogenital distance (AGD) was measured on PND 4 and males were examined for presence of nipples on PND 13. F1 offspring were examined daily for attainment of puberty. NTO did not markedly affect measures of fertility, including mating indices, gestation index, litter size, and sex ratio. Seminiferous tubule degeneration or atrophy was observed in P1 and F1 3600-mg/L NTO males. F1 males in the 3600 mg/L group exhibited reduced reproductive organ mass (testes, epididymides, and accessory sex organs). Nipple retention was increased in NTO exposed F1 males compared to controls. Attainment of puberty was delayed by 2.6 d in the 3600-mg/L NTO-exposed males relative to controls. Comparison of the effects of NTO with those of antiandrogens suggests absence of malformations of the genital tract in NTO-exposed males. This study supports previous findings indicating that NTO is a testicular toxicant with male developmental effects that may be secondary to testicular toxicity.

Elevated core temperature can impair physical performance during combat operations potentially putting the service members and their teams at risk. The purpose of this study was to compare core temperature between individuals with and without amputations during a prolonged endurance event.Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy male military service members (10 with amputations, 10 without) participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March 26.2-mile event on March 27, 2011. Data collected include BSA, body mass index, body composition, body weight before and after the event, core temperature during the event, and postevent hydration status. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body weight was measured by digital scale. Core temperature was measured by ingestible sensor. Hydration was measured by urine specific gravity. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved this study and participants provided written informed consent.Results: Three participants' data were not included in the analyses. No significant differences in core temperature were found between participants in both groups, and no correlation was found between core temperature and either BSA or hydration status. There was no significant difference in maximal core temperature between the groups (p = 0.27). Nearly all participants (8 control, 6 amputation) reached 38.3°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat exhaustion. No subjects reached 40.0°C, the threshold for increased risk of heat stroke. Time spent above the 38.3°C threshold was not significantly different between groups, but varied widely by participant in relation to the duration of the event. Participants without amputations finished the event faster than participants with amputations (7.9 ± 1.4 vs. 9.6 ± 0.96, p < 0.01), possibly indicating that participants with amputations self-selected a slower pace to attenuate increased core temperature.Conclusion: Until conclusive evidence is accumulated, it is prudent for military leaders, trainers, and military service members to closely monitor this population during physical activity to prevent heat injuries.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 181 IS - 11 M3 - journal article SP - 20 EP - 25 SN - 00264075 AB - The Center for Rehabilitation Sciences Research (CRSR) was established to advance the rehabilitative care for service members with combat-related injuries, particularly those with orthopedic, cognitive, and neurological complications. The center supports comprehensive research projects to optimize treatment strategies and promote the successful return to duty and community reintegration of injured service members. The center also provides a unique platform for fostering innovative research and incorporating clinical/technical advances in the rehabilitative care for service members. CRSR is composed of four research focus areas: (1) identifying barriers to successful rehabilitation and reintegration, (2) improving pain management strategies to promote full participation in rehabilitation programs, (3) applying novel technologies to advance rehabilitation methods and enhance outcome assessments, and (4) transferring new technology to improve functional capacity, independence, and quality of life. Each of these research focus areas works synergistically to influence the quality of life for injured service members. The purpose of this overview is to highlight the clinical research efforts of CRSR, namely how this organization engages a broad group of interdisciplinary investigators from medicine, biology, engineering, anthropology, and physiology to help solve clinically relevant problems for our service members, veterans, and their families.

The Paradox of Hungarian Cultural Imperialism in Nazi New Order Europe, 1939–42. JO - Journal of Contemporary History JF - Journal of Contemporary History Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 577 EP - 605 SN - 00220094 AB - This article investigates the flooding of the Yugoslav film market by Hungarian features between 1939 and 1941, the impact of which continued well into 1942. This torrent and the simultaneous expansion of Hungary’s domestic market substantially influenced not only the Hungarian film industry, but surprisingly the cultural politics of southeastern Europe during the early imposition of the Nazi New Order. Viewing Hungarian cinematic success through the lens and rhetoric of cultural imperialism, the article examines the centrality of Jewish participation in and expulsion from Hungarian cultural production, Hungary’s perception of its role in southeastern Europe, and Nazi Germany’s understanding of Hungarian film as an existential threat to its European New Order. By ‘Europeanizing’ Hungary’s venture in Yugoslavia, the article opens new avenues of thought about the space afforded to small states in Nazi-dominated Europe. It explains how Hungary’s achievements in Yugoslavia reinvigorated a faltering industry and allowed Hungary’s film establishment the fantasy of perceiving itself, and being perceived by others, as possessing imperial prestige and power. It reveals the malleability of national identities, describing how these identities transformed when crossing borders. Finally, it demonstrates the importance of cultural politics in Nazi thinking, and that force and coercion were central to the New Order at an earlier stage than previously acknowledged.

Interest in this criterion has led to the development of a proposed systematic methodology for obtaining a near optimal mean-squared-error estimator for the mean of a discrete, random event, autocorrelated process which has experienced a transient start-up condition. Application of the methodology to a pilot simulation process provides an experimenter with specific guidance in terms of the number of warm-up observations to delete and the number of simulation replications to conduct. Investigations with simple autoregressive and queueing processes have indicated that the methodology may be applicable to other simulation processes. The methodology may offer a possible alternative to the widely used rules-of-thumb employed by simulation practitioners for specifying simulation model operating conditions.

Estimates of contemporaneous group effects in human capital production are typically positive and significant; however, evidence in this study suggests that occurrences common to a group may account for much of this correlation. Models that address these biases provide little evidence of group effects in academic performance, although there is evidence of group influences in choice outcomes such as the selection of academic major and the decision to remain in the Army.

The technology chosen was lasers, an area of considerable current activity and well documented as a field of military research. The study focuses on the performance of contractors, but the influence of government contract monitors and contracting agencies is also considered. Since Research, or nonoriented work, was discovered to be the weaker of the two categories of R&D studies, this is the area which merits the greatest management attention. Perhaps the most salient management implication here is the need for some reforms in the monitoring process. Generally, the number and diversity of Research contracts per monitor should be reduced to permit adequate surveillance. Beyond this there is an apparent need for more involvement in the programs by the monitors.

Management, to cut costs, wanted to reduce the number of janitors in a particular building. Researchers discovered that the janitors' contract included job specifications that were "linear," for example, mopping 1,000 square feet would require 2 hours, mopping 2,000 square feet would require 4 hours, and so forth. They asked the building occupants for their perceptions on the utility of all the tasks the janitors performed. This led to two linear programming formulations. The first maximized the occupants' utility subject to constraints on the number of janitors and, in effect, yielded a task list for the janitors. The second formulation minimized the number of janitors subject to a constraint on the level of utility. Management virtually ignored both formulations. What they did not ignore were the insights gained from doing the analysis. This was the first time the building occupants had said what janitorial functions were important to them.

The inventory management techniques used by the military services, an interservice working group recommended adoption by all the services of a multi-item model that would set reorder points and reorder quantities for the individual items in a catalog in a way that would result in minimization of the sum of procurement, holding, and shortage costs. Performance is measured in terms of time-weighted requisitions short. The stock levels of the individual items, and thus their availabilities, vary according to their individual contributions to backorder reduction per dollar of investment. A steady increase in supply availability was noted until a leveling off took place when the supply availability approached the target set in the model. This view, however, imposes responsibilities on an in-house operational researcher team that transcend the more commonly recognized ones.

An interactive diagnostic computer program was used to test the model. This program employs formal decision procedures and the subjective assessment of likelihood and preferences of experts to analyze the diagnostic/treatment problem. The program's success in duplicating the decisions of expert clinicians in about 90 per cent of the cases used indicates that the method of analysis is not only a convenient structure for theoretically describing diagnosis and treatment, but that it is potentially a practical way of analyzing such decision problems.

These rates were evaluated spatially and related to selected shorezone characteristics. One hundred and six of the bluff sites are experiencing retreat that averages 0.4 m (1.3 ft) per year. Although amounts vary significantly, average values show that (1) rates are similar for opposite sides of the lake but (2) values differ between northern and southern Wisconsin. In addition, dune-encompassed bluffs tend to recede at lower long-term rates than nondune bluffs. Groundwater seepage, shoreline orientation and fetch, and shorezone protective structures are some of the factors found to influence bluff crest recession. Data from this study indicate that extensive Lake Michigan shorezone tracts will continue to experience bluff recession measurable in meters per decade unless lake levels are relatively low or unless protective devices of massive proportion are constructed along much of the shoreline.

Through all phases, racial segregation in schools and patterns of resistance to change have been influenced significantly by residential segregation at the local level and by the racial composition of the population at broader scales. The impending fifth phase, which is likely to be a return to some form of dual school system, has been prompted by a movement of white people to private schools and other bold reactions. Such reactions resulted from Federal Government orders to desegregate schools contrary to residential segregation, a most fundamental facet of the spatial structure of the society.

Data taken at the Army-maintained desert test station near Yuma, Arizona, provide some basic lower and upper limits to vertical solar and total sky radiation, ground-surface temperature, dew-point temperature, wind speed, and wind direction during occurrence of higher temperatures. However, even the more favorable combinations of the surface conditions do not provide an adequate explanation for occurrence of the higher recorded temperatures at the proving ground. The apparent key is the temperature of the air layer between 850 and 650 mbs. If this layer is warm, and a mechanism exists for bringing the air down to the surface, high ambient air temperatures result. The mechanism may be the vertical exchange induced by the afternoon convection, or it may be the fohn effect brought about by the synoptic pattern.

The prevalence of HB markers was 20 per cent. and hepatitis A antibody was present in 25 per cent. A six-month follow-up, conducted on 260 individuals initially negative for all four tests, revealed that 11 of these were now HB seropositive, whereas none had seroconverted to anti-HA positive. The HB virus was the principal agent responsible for hepatitis in the unit surveyed. (Am J Public Health 69:1216-1219, 1979.)

In this context, the researchers explained that land disposal of domestic wastewater has been practiced on a large scale in Europe mainly for the purpose of irrigating crops or pasture. The health and hygiene aspects of wastewater treatment or wastewater reclamation by spray irrigation were also addressed. Many of the basic principles are applicable to the other methods of land disposal such as surface flooding and ridge and furrow irrigation.

Four hundred seventy-seven (50.5 per cent) of the soldiers in this group admitted on an anonymous questionnaire to illegal drug use at the time the class was given. In order to determine whether the drug education classes decreased illegal drug use, the same six groups were administered an anonymous questionnaire 3 months after the class. A total of 39 per cent of LSD users; 24 per cent of amphetamine users; 25 per cent of sedative-hypnotic users; and 45 per cent of opiate users reported discontinuation or decrease in their respective drug consumption which they attributed to the drug education class. Drug-related hospitalizations decreased from 22 in the 12 months prior to the class to 11 during the following 12 months.

This was formalized in January 1955 with the appointment of a Joint AST&T-DNA Committee for cooperation between the two groups. That this cooperation has been effective and meaningful is evidenced by a record of DNA having donated $1,000.00 to the AST&T Endowment Fund in October 1959. Also since the beginning there have been annual contributions by AST&T from the Endowment Fund to DNA, primarily in the field of education for hiring professional instruction for DNA study groups. The Constitution and Bylaws of both DNA and AST&T follow the same general pattern and the objectives, although worded differently, arrive at approximately the same point. In comparing the two it would appear that there is no great difference in the desire "to foster academic and practical transa portat ion advancement" in comparison with "to encourage the attainment of high standards of education and technical training." The means of acquiring membership varies greatly between the Fraternity and the Society, although both are trying to reach the same people.

Acetylcholine was found in the following species from 13 families: Betula pendula, Codiaeum variegatum, Ilex opaca, Liquidambar styraciflua, Lonicera japonica, Phaseolus aureus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Pisum sativum, Plantago rugelli, Populus grandidentala, prunus serontina, Rhus copallina, Smilax hispida, Viburnum dilatatum, and Zea mays. Levels of acetylcholine in leaves ranged rom a low of 0.14 ± 0.05 (mean ± SEM) nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in I. opaca to a high of 53 ± 6.6 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in P. aureus. Acetylcholine was found in all tissues examined regardless of the organ (leaves, stems, or roots) or developmental stage (seedlings, mature plants, or seeds). For P. aureus continuous light exposure increased acetylcholine levels in leaves and decreased of acetylcholine, found in leaves ranged from a low of 84 ± 7.0 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in L. styraciflua to a high of 3700 ± 200 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in P. aureus. With these findings, three out of the four components of the cholinergic system have now been identified in plants.

Cholinesterase activity was detected in 91% of the 70 species surveyed from 50 higher plants and three families of ferns. A radiometric assay was used to determine the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by leaf tissue slices in the presence and absence of 29 μM diisopropyl phosphofluoridate. The results obtained using this inhibitor as a criterion for cholinesterase activity were found to be consistent with previous studies using neostigmine as the inhibitor although there were some quantitative differences between the inhibitors. With some of the tested plants acetyl-β-methylcholine was also hydrolyzed, indicating that acetylcholinesterase rather than pseudocholinesterase was present at least in these cases. These findings demonstrate that the relative activity of cholinesterase in leaves can serve as an indicator of organophosphorous anticholinesterase contamination of the environment.

The potential for using blood or urine to assess extracellular dehydration is generally poor, but saliva is not a simple ultra-filtrate of plasma and the autonomic regulation of salivary gland function suggests the possibility that saliva osmolality (Sosm) may afford detection of extracellular dehydration via the influence of volume-mediated factors. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the assessment of extracellular dehydration using Sosm. In addition, two common saliva collection methods and their effects on Sosm were compared. Methods: Blood, urine, and saliva samples were collected in 24 healthy volunteers during paired euhydration and dehydration trials. Furosemide administration and 12 h fluid restriction were used to produce extracellular dehydration. Expectoration and salivette collection methods were compared in a separate group of eight euhydrated volunteers. All comparisons were made using paired t-tests. The diagnostic potential of body fluids was additionally evaluated. Results: Dehydration (3.1 ± 0.5 % loss of body mass) decreased PV (−0.49 ± 0.12 L; −15.12 ± 3.94 % change), but Sosm changes were marginal (<10 mmol/kg) and weakly correlated with changes in absolute or relative PV losses. Overall diagnostic accuracy was poor (AUC = 0.77-0.78) for all body fluids evaluated. Strong agreement was observed between Sosm methods (Expectoration: 61 ± 10 mmol/kg, Salivette: 61 ± 8 mmol/kg, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Extracelluar dehydration was not detectable using plasma, urine, or saliva measures. Salivette and expectoration sampling methods produced similar, consistent results for Sosm, suggesting no methodological influence on Sosm.

Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database, the number of clavicle fractures presenting to a representative sample of US hospitals was retrospectively calculated and weighted estimates used to extrapolate this data to the US population. Incidence estimates were obtained using validated analyses and US census data, with sports injuries being noted and fractures stratified by sport. A total of 9 428 fractures of the clavicle were reported, representing 357 155 injuries in the US population over 5 years. The estimated incidence of clavicle fractures in the US presenting for emergency care is 24.4 fractures per 100 000 person-years (95 % confidence intervals (CI), 22.8-26.1). The peak incidence was highest between ages 10-19 years. Men were nearly 3 times as likely to sustain a clavicle fracture. Sports were a factor in 45 % of all clavicle fractures. In sports-related injuries, 16 % of fractures occurred from bicycling, followed by football (12 %) and soccer (6 %). In summary, injuries from bicycling were the most common cause of clavicle fracture, followed by contact sports. Male gender and younger age are risk factors for clavicle fractures.

AB - High-order cognitive functions require the integration of information across functionally related modules. This relationship suggests that cognitive ability is related to the efficiency and processing speed of basic integrative function. In order to examine individual differences for this relationship, we compared standardized tests of intelligence to visual perceptual grouping abilities, which represents a basic process of integration. Sixty participants discriminated perceived grouping of dot patterns based upon similarity in luminance. Psychophysical measurements were made of the functional limits and processing speed of grouping. We assessed cognitive abilities with the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and found that measures of grouping efficiency as well as speed varied considerably across subjects, indicating substantial individual differences at this relatively early level of visual processing. Faster grouping speed was associated with higher scores on all WASI subtests, whereas grouping ability, when not restricted by time, was associated only with the performance IQ components. These results demonstrate an association between a basic integrative function, in which cognitive and motoric factors were minimized, with measures of high-order cognition, which include both verbal and spatial cognitive components.

AB - Given the complexities of today’s workplace, organizations and agencies are progressively turning toward interdependent systems comprised of teams, or multiteam systems (MTSs), to accomplish multifaceted tasks in challenging environments. Subsequently, MTSs have grown in popularity in group and team research, spanning a breath of disciplines (psychology, organizational behavior, human factors, communication, and medicine). In this review, our goal is to highlight the existing research across a range of disciplines regarding MTSs that serves to answer the question, 'What do we know about MTSs?' while also developing a future research agenda aimed at answering the question, 'Where does our research need to go to better understand MTSs?' We specifically highlight the current trends, dynamics, and methodological issues in MTSs to further build the foundation for improving MTS effectiveness.

AB - [Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 30(1) of Journal of Cancer Education (see record [rid]2016-24275-031[/rid]). Due to an oversight in the original article, Dr. Angelo D. Moore’s name was listed incorrectly (as L.A. Moore) in PubMed as well as in the article itself (L.A.D. Moore).] This qualitative study explored strategies African-American cancer survivors use to overcome their fears and fatalistic attitudes toward cancer at the point of diagnosis through completion of treatment. Thirty-one African-American cancer survivors who had completed or nearly completed treatment were recruited through criterion purposeful sampling. In-depth, open-ended interviews were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Of the 31 survivors interviewed, 26 reported being fearful of cancer and believed that cancer would result in death. These cancer survivors were particularly fearful of having a cancer had spread, of being isolated, and performing less effectively at work. Strategies used to overcome these fears included increasing their own awareness about cancer, using positive self-talk, and avoiding negative people. The findings suggest that past experiences continue to influence fears and fatalistic perspectives about cancer and that educational resources to inform the public about cancer may be ignored until there is a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. Televised news broadcasts of high-profile personalities who had died from cancer were also anxiety provoking, particularly if the cancer survivor died of a recurrence from cancer. Prevalent sources of information and support for these survivors were family members or close friends they trusted with personal information, perceived as strong, or experienced in the care of other cancer survivors.

AB - Predation involves costs and benefits, so predators should employ tactics that reduce their risk of injury or death and that increase their success at capturing prey. One potential way that predators could decrease risk and increase benefits is by attacking prey at night when risks may be reduced and prey more vulnerable. Because some snakes are facultatively nocturnal and prey on bird nests during the day and night, they are ideal for assessing the costs and benefits of diurnal vs. nocturnal predation. We used automated radiotelemetry and cameras to investigate predation on nesting birds by two species of snakes, one diurnal and the other facultatively nocturnal. We predicted that snakes preying on nests at night should experience less parental nest defence and capture more adults and nestlings. Rat snakes (Pantherophis obsoletus) were relatively inactive at night (23–36% activity) but nearly always preyed on nests after dark (80% of nest predations). Conversely, racers (Coluber constrictor) were exclusively diurnal and preyed on nests during the times of day they were most active. These results are consistent with rat snakes strategically using their capacity for facultative nocturnal activity to prey on nests at night. The likely benefit is reduced nest defence because birds defended their nests less vigourously at night. Consistent with nocturnal predation being safer, rat snake predation events lasted three times longer at night than during the day (26 vs. 8 min). Nocturnal nest predation did not make nests more profitable by increasing the likelihood of capturing adults or removing premature fledging of nestlings. The disconnect between rat snake activity and timing of nest predation seems most consistent with rat snakes locating prey during the day using visual cues but waiting until dark to prey on nests when predation is safer, although designing a direct test of this hypothesis will be challenging.

AB - Approximately 1.9 million youth have a parent serving in the US military, yet we do not have accurate, comprehensive prevalence rates of obesity among this population. Our purpose was to conduct a review of the published research on obesity prevalence rates and interventions among military youth, including studies that report on weight-related measures such as body mass index, blood pressure, physical activity, diet/nutrition, and screen-time behaviors. Eight studies were found pertaining to childhood obesity in military populations including the Air Force, Army, and Navy. Our review revealed significant gaps in the literature regarding obesity prevalence and interventions targeted at military youth. We provide recommendations for future research to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity among military youth and prevention and interventions efforts for overweight and obesity with military youth.

Payday loan interest rates are as high as 25% per 2‐ to 4‐week loans and individuals use a post‐dated check to secure the loan. Pawnshop usage is available for anyone with collateral. This article examines whether individuals using payday loans in states where rollovers are allowed are more likely to also use pawnshops together with payday loans. I find that this is true for individuals who make less than $30,000, but it does not hold for those with higher levels of income. There may be some complementary relationships between payday loan rollovers and pawnshops for these lower‐income individuals. These results are important when considering whether to allow payday loan rollovers.

AB - Background: Since 1985, one-third of all US all-terrain vehicle (ATV)-related injuries and one-quarter of deaths involved victims <16 years of age. ATV safety education of youth could help reduce these tragedies. Objectives: To assess the efficacy of the Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) school-based programme targeting adolescents. Methods: A survey was anonymously administered before and after the programme to determine demographics, knowledge and reported likelihood of using the information learned. Results: Over 4600 students in 30 Iowa schools participated from November 2010 to April 2013. Initially, 52% knew most ATVs are designed for one rider, 25% knew the recommended vehicle size for their age range and 42% knew riding on Iowa’s roads was legal only for agricultural purposes. After the programme, this increased to 92%, 82% and 76%, respectively (p < 0.0001 in each case), with 61% of students correct on all three. Better preintervention scores were associated with being males, higher riding frequency and being from isolated rural communities. After the programme, 48% and 32% said they were likely/very likely versus unlikely/very unlikely to use the safety information learned, respectively; younger students, females and infrequent riders reported higher likelihoods. Conclusions: STARs increased short-term ATV safety knowledge and almost half the participants reported they would use the safety information presented. Males and frequent riders seemed more resistant, but some groups that may be more vulnerable to potential ATV crash and injury appeared amenable to the training with higher increases in postprogramme scores and greater intention of improving safety behaviours.

AB - A criticism of laboratory vigilance or sustained attention research is the employment of static monotonous tasks with repetitive targets as opposed to the use of dynamic tasks with novel target stimuli. Unfortunately dynamic tasks employing novel stimuli may result in the mixture of two cognitive processes: active sustained attention search and passive perceptual learning. Moreover, the relative engagement of these two processes may depend on individual differences. In the present study, we examined this by having participants perform a dynamic auditory vigilance task with rare novel targets. In addition, some participants performed this task while also performing a secondary motor tracking task, a dual-task scenario. In the dual-task scenario, participants who failed to accurately detect the first target stimuli showed improvements in their tracking performance with time-on-task, suggesting reserves of attention. This improvement in tracking performance was not evident for those who accurately detected the first target stimuli, as their attention was likely actively engaged (searching). In addition, participants in the dual-task scenario who accurately detected the first target stimuli reported high workload and increased post-task tense arousal, results characteristic of participants performing static vigilance tasks. These results indicate the possibility that in a dynamic vigilance task with novel target stimuli participants may diverge in how they approach the task. Some participants will actively monitor the display for targets (search), whereas others will passively learn the target stimuli. Thus, these tasks may pose significant challenges to researchers who wish to examine vigilance in isolation from perceptual learning.

AB - Rapid perceptual decision-making is believed to depend upon efficient allocation of neural resources to the processing of transient stimuli within task-relevant contexts. Given decision-making under severe time pressure, it is reasonable to posit that the brain configures itself, prior to processing stimulus information, in a way that depends upon prior beliefs and/or anticipation. However, relatively little is known about such configuration processes, how they might be manifested in the human brain, or ultimately how they mediate task performance. Here we show that network configuration, defined via pre-stimulus functional connectivity measures estimated from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, is predictive of performance in a time-pressured Go/No-Go task. Specifically, using connectivity measures to summarize network properties, we show that pre-stimulus brain state can be used to discriminate behaviorally correct and incorrect trials, as well as behaviorally correct commission and omission trial categories. More broadly, our results show that pre-stimulus functional configurations of cortical and sub-cortical networks can be a major determiner of task performance.

Three experiments examined the source and generality of this effect. The first two experiments examined whether route-angularity effects occur while viewing maps and might be related to sex differences or sense of direction. The third experiment tested whether the route-angularity effect would occur with stimuli devoid of spatial context, reducing influences of environmental experience and visual complexity. In the three experiments, participants (N = 1,552; M = 32.2 yr.; 992 men, 560 women) viewed paths plotted on maps (Exps. 1 and 2) or against a blank background (Exp. 3). The depicted paths were always the same overall length, but varied in the number of turns (from 1 to 7) connecting an origin and destination. Participants were asked to estimate the time to traverse each path (Exp. 1) or the length of each path (Exps. 2 and 3). The Santa Barbara Sense of Direction questionnaire was administered to assess whether overall spatial sense of direction would be negatively related to the magnitude of the route-angularity effect. Repeated-measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) indicated that paths with more turns elicited estimates of greater distance and travel times, whether they were depicted on maps or blank backgrounds. Linear regressions also indicated that these effects were significantly larger in those with a relatively low sense of direction. The results support the route-angularity effect and extend it to paths plotted on map-based stimuli. Furthermore, because the route-angularity effect was shown with paths plotted against blank backgrounds, route-angularity effects are not specific to understanding environments and may arise at the level of visual perception.

Identifying SA requirements for specific jobs is a necessary first step in accurately assessing SA, developing training programs to enhance SA skills, and evaluating the impact of new technology on SA. This research identified the SA requirements for infantry small unit leaders. Six highly experienced infantry subject matter experts were given semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The resulting SA requirements hierarchy contained 7 primary goals and multiple subgoals. Situation awareness requirements are job and mission specific. The methods used here may be adapted to identify SA requirements in other domains characterized by small, cohesive teams operating in dynamic environments and as the basis for developing SA metrics in these domains.

Les plantes traitées par le 2,4-D présentèrent des symptômes typiques chez celles maintenues à 21 et 30° C, alors qu'à 13° C aucun symptôme ne fut observé. Les greffons prélevés jusqu'à 60 jours après le traitement au 2,4-D, et greffés sur des plantes maintenues à 13, 21 et 30° C, présentèrent des symptômes typiques. Les greffes effectuées plus de 60 jours après le traitement au 2,4-D ne présentèrent pas de symptômes, sauf une légère déformation sur les plantes maintenues à 13° C. Les pousses nouvelles sur les greffons prélevés jusqu'à 103 jours après le traitement par l'aminotriazole, et greffés sur des plantes maintenues à 21 et 30° C présentèrent les symptômes typiques de l'aminotriazole (c'est-à-dire un feuillage blanc), mais les greffons prélevés plus tard restèrent intacts. Les nouvelles pousses développées à partir des bourgeons des plantes traitées donnèrent des feuilles blanches jusqu'à 115 jours après le traitement, puis des feuilles vertes ensuite.

Eine Woche später wurde das behandelte Blatt entfernt. Im Verlauf von 4 Monaten nach der Behandlung wurden in verschiedenen Intervallen Triebe von unbehandelten Pflanzen auf die behandelten Pflanzen aufgepfropft. Amitrolbehandelte Pflanzen, die bei 13° C gehalten wurden, starben innerhalb eines Monats, während solche bei 21 und 30° C überlebten. 2,4-D-behandelte Pflanzen zeigten typische Symptome, wenn sie bei 21 und 30° C gehalten wurden, nicht jedoch bei 13° C. Triebe, die im Verlauf von 60 Tagen nach der 2,4-D-Behandlung auf Pflanzen, die bei 13, 21 und 30° C gehalten wurden, aufgepfropft wurden, zeigten typische Symptome. Pfropfungen, die mehr als 60 Tage nach der 2,4-D-Behandlung erfolgten, zeigten keine Symptome ausser leichten Missbildungen auf Pflanzen bei 13° C. Der Neuaustrieb an Trieben, die bis zu 103 Tagen nach Amitrolbehandlung auf die bei 21 und 30° C wachsenden Pflanzen aufgepfropft worden waren, zeigte die typischen Amitrolsymptome (z.B. weisse Blätter), während Triebe, die nach dieser Zeit gepfropft wurden, keine Symptome mehr aufwiesen. Neue Triebe, die sich aus Knospen behandelter Pflanzen entwickelten, wuchsen ab 115 Tagen nach der Behandlung normal grün, während sie vor dieser Zeit weisse Blätter bervorbrachten.

In most periglacial and many extraglacial landscapes the direct effects of the activity are in ample evidence. Even though the effects may not be directly apparent, it is generally accepted that alternate freezing and thawing contribute to the evolvement of the landscape wherever the process occurs with some frequency. Whereas studies have been made of the frequency of freeze-thaw, seemingly little attention has been focused on the inferences which might be drawn from an analysis of the activity on a regional basis.

The Editors of Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management invited experts in the field to describe the primary issues associated with the control and release of radioactive materials to the environment, particularly those that are of importance to the health of the human populations and the ecological systems that populate our planet. This collection of invited short commentaries aims to inform on the safety of nuclear power plants damaged by natural disasters and provide a primer on the potential environmental impacts. The intent of these invited commentaries is not to fuel the excitement and fears about the Fukushima Daiichi incident; rather, it is to collect views and comments from some of the world's experts on the broad science and policy challenges raised by this event, and to provide high-level views on the science issues that surround this situation in order to improve our collective ability to avoid or at least minimize the consequences of future events.

Significant physiological challenges exist: maintenance of physical fitness and body composition, rigors of external load carriage, environmental extremes (heat, cold, and altitude), medical illnesses, musculoskeletal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, and environmental exposure hazards (i.e., burn pits, vehicle exhaust, etc.). To date there is very little published research and no comprehensive reviews on the physiological effects of deployments. The purpose of this paper is to overview what is currently known from the literature related mainly to current military conflicts with regard to the challenges and consequences from deployments. Summary findings include: (1) aerobic capacity declines while muscle strength, power and muscular endurance appear to be maintained, (2) load carriage continues to tax the physical capacities of the Soldier, (3) musculoskeletal injuries comprise the highest proportion of all injury categories, (4) environmental insults occur from both terrestrial extremes and pollutant exposure, and (5) post-deployment concerns linger for traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. A full understanding of these responses will assist in identifying the most effective risk mitigation strategies to ensure deployment readiness and to assist in establishment of military employment standards.

The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a greater occurrence in women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor units of the VM and VMO are differentially recruited and if this recruitment pattern has an effect of sex or menstrual cycle phase. METHODS: Single motor unit recordings from the VM and VMO were obtained for men and women during an isometric ramp knee extension. Eleven men were tested once. Seven women were tested during five different phases of the menstrual cycle, determined by basal body temperature mapping. The recruitment threshold and the initial firing rate at recruitment were determined from 510 motor unit recordings. RESULTS: The initial firing rate was lower in the VMO than that in the VM in women (P < 0.001) but not in men. There was no difference in recruitment thresholds for the VM and VMO in either sex or across the menstrual cycle. There was a main effect of menstrual phase on initial firing rate, showing increases from the early follicular to late luteal phase (P = 0.003). The initial firing rate in the VMO was lower than that in the VM during ovulatory (P = 0.009) and midluteal (P = 0.009) phases. CONCLUSION: The relative control of the VM and VMO changes across the menstrual cycle. This could influence patellar pathologies that have a higher incidence in women.

SP - 876 EP - 881 JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine JA - MILIT MED VL - 180 IS - 8 CY - Bethesda, Maryland PB - AMSUS AB - Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is the practice of treating the partners of patients with sexually transmitted infections by providing medications for the patient to deliver to his or her sexual partner (s) without direct clinical assessment of the partner(s). EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to "push the conversation" on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers.

The current strategy for treating hemorrhagic shock is based on early use of components: Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and platelets in a 1:1:1 ratio. We suggest that lack of components to mimic whole blood functionality favors the use of Fresh Whole Blood in managing hemorrhagic shock on the battlefield. We present a safe and practical approach for its use at the point of injury in the combat environment called Tactical Damage Control Resuscitation. We describe pre-deployment preparation, assessment of hemorrhagic shock, and collection and transfusion of fresh whole blood at the point of injury. By approaching shock with goal-directed therapy, it is possible to extend the period of survivability in combat casualties.

It was thought that an increased hydraulic conductivity with increasing sample volume remains valid for pilot-scale cutoff wall W3. A soil bentonite wall plays a significant role on the water balance in the barrier pit. The hydraulic conductivity of the treated concrete is believed to be low. However, the magnitude of seepage of the concrete walls was important since the soil-bentonite wall of the hydraulic conductivity was also low.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - Studies have yielded consistent variables associated with military suicides: age (17 to 30 years), gender (male), race (white), and previous mental health conditions. Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.

Design Qualitative (phenomenologic) interviews and analysis. Setting Outpatient UE rehabilitation. Participants Patients with acute UE injuries (N=10). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure Concerns related to UE rehabilitation patients demonstrating discrepancy between outcome measures. Results Five key themes emerged from the interviews of patients demonstrating discrepancy in their self-reported patient outcomes: (1) desire to return to normal, (2) initial anticipation of brief recovery, (3) trust of therapist, (4) cannot stop living, and (5) feelings of ambivalence. Challenges included living with the desire to move back into life. Multiple factors affected patient adherence: cost of treatment, patient-provider relation (difference between therapist and patient understanding on what is important for treatment), and patients expecting the treating therapists to be an expert and fix their problem. Conclusions Patient adherence to UE rehabilitation presents many challenges. Patients view themselves as laypersons and seek the knowledge of a dedicated therapist who they trust to spend time with them to understand what they value as important and clarify their injury, collaboratively make goals, and explain the intervention to get them in essence, back into life, in the minimal required time. When categorized according to the World Health Organization's multidimensional adherence model, domains identified in this model include social and economic, health care team and system, condition-related, therapy-related, and patient-related dimensions. Assessing factors identified to improve efficiency and effectiveness of clinical management can enhance patient adherence.

The term noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) was only recently coined as part of contemporary studies describing the epidemiology of wounding during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This article provides a contemporary review of NCTH, including a unifying definition to promote future study as well as a description of resuscitative and operative management strategies to be used in this setting, and sets a course for research to improve mortality following this vexing injury pattern.

Most writing on this topic has centered on structural issues, such as post-World War II personnel policies. This article will examine this phenomenon between the Korean and Vietnam wars by comparing contemporary publications and retrospective critiques by veterans with internal Army sources, particularly service schools, the headquarters of the Continental Army Command, and Headquarters, Department of the Army. If a crisis in command existed between 1953 and 1965, did these organizations' leaders recognize it and address it?

This essay surveys the existing literature to approach this problem through the interlocking factors of reason and feeling. At first, Americans reconciled these factors, and justified their wars, because republicanism, romantic nationalism, and Victorian culture created the comforting sense of a chosen nation in an orderly, moral cosmos. When two world wars and the Great Depression produced modernist doubt, Americans used nationalism, pragmatism, and faith in technology to guide and sustain them. By the late twentieth century, however, modernist challenges to old universals in a larger and more pluralistic society became harder to reconcile as debates over wars polarized along emotional extremes, while reason's proponents clung to a precarious middle ground. Currently, the prospect of a revived consensus appears remote.

Processing such a data set is not straightforward as heterogeneous data may not be commensurate. In addition, the signals may also exhibit statistical dependence due to overlapping fields of view. We propose a copula-based solution to incorporate statistical dependence between disparate sources of information. The important problem of identifying the best copula for binary classification problems is also addressed. Computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach. The method is also tested on real-data provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for a multibiometric face recognition application. Finally, performance limits are derived to study the influence of statistical dependence on classification performance.

However, transmissions from multiple relay nodes are challenging in practice. Single transmissions in time-division multiple-access (TDMA) manner cause large transmission delay, but simultaneous transmissions from two or more nodes using frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) and code-division multiple access (CDMA) are associated with the issue of imperfect frequency and timing synchronization. In this work, a novel framework for cooperative communications is proposed to achieve full spatial diversity with low transmission delay and eliminate the issue of imperfect synchronization. This is realized by the use of space–time network codes (STNCs) associated with a novel concept of wireless network cocast. For a network of N client nodes, R relay nodes and a base node, the STNCs provide a diversity order of (R+1) for each symbol with (N+R) time slots, a reduction from 2N time slots in traditional FDMA and CDMA cooperative communications for N being usually greater than R and from N(R+1) time slots in traditional TDMA cooperative communications. The STNCs are also applied in networks, where the client nodes located in a cluster act as relays to help one another to improve their transmission performance. The performance in clustering setting is studied to show the improvement in power saving, range extension, and transmission rate.

We seek to clarify what underpins forms of character-based leadership and exemplary leader behaviors. We build out our previous discussion (Hannah & Avolio, this issue) that the locus of character is within the leader and is an integral part of the leader''s self-system. Further, we extend the domain of character research toward its upper bounds and introduce the notion of ethos as a distinct class of character and relate ethos to extra-ethical virtuous behaviors. Finally, we place character in relationship to collectives and discuss bidirectional influences operating between leader character and the context.

Before a purposeful research stream on character can proceed, however, it is critical that we fully define and conceptualize the character construct (the ontological basis) and then consider how we might best measure this construct and test it across a diverse array of contexts (the epistemological basis). We pursue these ends by first unpacking the definition of leader character and then by posing a series of questions. Following our initial thoughts related to the locus of character and how leader character is transmitted to and received by followers, we proceed by discussing how character relates to or serves as an antecedent to exemplary leadership styles, how character is contextualized, and how character is developed.

In previous literature, subclinical traits have been identified as potential causes of leader derailment. However, leader development researchers have argued that developmental interventions based on increasing self-awareness may be effective at mitigating the negative effects of these character flaws. Using a multi-wave, multi-method longitudinal study of military school cadets we evaluate the impact of subclinical traits on externally-rated measures of leader development over a three year period. Results demonstrated that adding subclinical traits to models of development significantly increased model fit and that the relationship between “dark side” personality traits and performance and training is more complicated than originally thought. Moreover, subclinical traits were associated with different developmental trajectories over time. Implications for leadership development research and practice are discussed.

The implications of workplace spirituality for leadership theory, research, and practice make this a fast growing area of new research and inquiry by scholars. The purpose of this research was to test a dynamic relationship between spiritual leadership and spiritual well-being (i.e., a sense of calling and membership), and key organizational outcomes in a sample of emerging military leaders. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), results revealed a positive and significant relationship between spiritual leadership and several unit-level outcomes, including organizational commitment and four measures of performance. These relationships were explained or mediated by spiritual well-being. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Grippers were fabricated using photolithography, and Si chips were bonded to them using a solder-based directed assembly approach. Because we propose the use of these grippers as tags or to attach electronic devices to various surfaces, we also attached commercial microtransponder chips to the grippers as a specific example of an integrated and commercially available electronic device. After assembly, we released grippers with integrated chips from the substrate. Grippers closed upon exposure to heat (> 40^\circ\ \C) or specific chemical environments that softened or degraded a polymer trigger layer incorporated within each hinge. We investigated gripping capabilities of chip-carrying grippers on woven textile fibers and a live caterpillar; these demonstrations were achieved without any attached wires or electrical power. The autonomous thermochemical closure response of the grippers coupled with convenient and secure attachment of wireless microtransponders is a step toward the creation of smart event-based gripping platforms with communication modules.\hfill[2010-0228] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Several proposed line modeling techniques are studied and include distributed and lumped parameter models. In order to capture the nonuniformity of line parameters caused by temperature gradients, a model with multiple nonuniform segments is also proposed. An automated tool has been developed to obtain appropriate line model segmentation and parameter values of each segment, given a set of temperature measurements and their locations along the line.

For example, the signal from a weak yet shallow target or clutter item can overshadow that from a much larger yet deeper unexploded ordnance (UXO), potentially resulting in erroneous localization and/or identification. We propose, in this paper, a method based on the Gauss–Newton algorithm for the inversion of multiple targets within the field of view of sensors operating at EMI frequencies (tens of hertz to a few hundred kilohertz). In order to minimize the number of unknowns to invert for, the polarizability tensor is written as a time-independent orientation matrix multiplied by a time-dependent diagonal intrinsic polarizability tensor. Similarly, position is supposed to be time independent so that both position and orientation angles are inverted only once using all time channels collected by the instrument. Moreover, using the dipole approximation, we are able to compute the Jacobian in closed form for instruments with either square or circular primary field coils, thus contributing to the speed of the algorithm. Validating results are shown based on the measurement data collected with two EMI sensors on various types of UXO.

The system operates at 200-kHz maximum switching frequency, which is considerably higher than the conventional practice at this power level, leading to smaller passive components. A high power density of 143 \W/in^3 is achieved with the converter operating at a high ambient temperature of 65 ^\circ\C with 90 ^\circ\C cooling oil, by utilizing various technologies on topology, control, devices, passives, and thermal management. The experimental results demonstrate that the converter meets the performance requirements while achieving a high power density.

With the goal of controlling the onset of armature ejecta, a series of single-shot tests was conducted in a small railgun with a bore cross section of 22 \times 44 mm. The tests utilized channels of various sizes and geometries machined into the rail contact surface of the armatures to see if ejecta could be controlled. These tests identified several channel patterns as having the potential to delay the onset of armature ejecta. A series of multiple-shot tests was subsequently conducted in a larger railgun having a bore cross section of 38 \times 76 mm. The goal of these experiments was to see if the channel patterns that delayed armature ejecta had a significant impact on rail erosion at start-up. Three test series were conducted. In the first series, three armatures with a nested circular channel pattern were tested. In the second series, three armatures with a large centrally located channel were tested. Both armature designs used equivalent contact areas. These results were then compared to a standard armature contact face with no modifications in a third test series.

The injection velocity is provided by a 26-mm-diameter conventional propellant gun. A plasma armature is assumed for the railgun. A capacitor-based pulsed-power supply, located at Barricade C, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, is assumed to provide the electrical energy for boosting the velocity to 2.5 km/s. Various scenarios are examined with respect to electrical pulse shape, the effect on stored electrical energy, and its distribution in the railgun. Three types of comparisons are used to illustrate the effect of injection velocity on stored electrical energy: 1) efficiency; 2) peak loads; and 3) energy storage. Examples for each category are discussed, illustrating complementary areas for propellant gun and railgun operation. Results are promising; however, the initial velocity must be considered in detailed simulations in order for any advantages to be realized.

Top-gate transistors, i.e., with a gate length of 3 \mu\m and Vds = \5\ \V, have a peak dc transconductance in excess of 20 mS/mm and a drive current of 0.5 A/mm. RF measurements achieve gigahertz extrinsic current-gain cutoff frequency with low back biasing. Back-gated devices are used to examine doping and transport effects that impact the performance. Good agreement between measurements and a drift–diffusion model is obtained for gapless graphene with a net p-type doping and asymmetric electron/hole mobility. The mean free path for scattering is extracted and reveals that the transport suffers from large levels of Coulomb scattering and short-range scattering. The results are of importance for understanding the performance potential of large-area CVD graphene in future RF devices.

This paper reports on the experimental characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual power module that incorporates twenty 80-A SiC MOSFETs and twenty 50-A SiC junction barrier Schottky diodes. Forward and reverse conduction characteristics were measured at multiple gate voltages, current sharing was examined between the MOSFETs, and switching energies were calculated for various currents. Additionally, this module has operated in a full-bridge circuit with a peak loading of 900 A dc, a 600 Vdc bus, and a junction temperatures of 153 °C_. From the experimental data, a model of the module was created and used in a dc–ac inverter simulation study to demonstrate the possible benefits of SiC compared to Si technology. The use of an all-SiC module was shown to reduce inverter losses by 40% or more for most operating conditions. Furthermore, for similar output current levels, the all-SiC module can operate at switching frequencies four times higher than that of the Si module. This advanced dual power module demonstrates the ability to produce a high-current high-power switch using SiC technology.

For this reason, they are being used in many new applications, including in harsh environments. It has been well documented that the performance of unprotected MEMS gyroscopes can be deleteriously affected by exposure to mechanical shock or high-frequency vibrations. The results of this investigation experimentally demonstrate that MEMS gyroscopes are also susceptible to high-power high-frequency acoustic noise when acoustic energy frequency components are close to the resonating frequency of the gyroscope's proof mass. Additionally, due to microfabrication tolerances and the resulting differences between otherwise identical devices, there can be significant differences in the acoustically sensitive bandwidth between otherwise identical MEMS gyroscopes. This phenomenon is characterized for the ADXRS300 MEMS gyroscope.

The methodology quantifies the robustness of alternative portfolios across a variety of scenarios and identifies the scenarios that greatly affect the assessments. An innovation of the methodology is to elicit, for each scenario, only a few relative increases or decreases in importance of selected terms of the value function, which is more efficient than a full elicitation of the value function for each scenario. The identification of critical scenarios via our methodology can be used to focus resource-intensive and potentially costly modeling activities. The methodology integrates preference orders, centroid weights, and the Borda method. In a demonstration, the methodology assesses the relative sea level and other climate-change scenarios that could affect the performance of coastal protections.

Streamflow timing shifts associated with climate change would degrade the water resources system performance for climate change scenarios using existing system operation policies for the Columbia River Basin. To mitigate the hydrologic impacts of anticipated climate change on this complex water resource system, optimized flood control operating rule curves were developed at a monthly time step in a previous study and were evaluated with a monthly time-step simulation model. Here, a daily time-step simulation model is used over a smaller portion of the domain to evaluate and refine the optimized flood-control curves derived from monthly time-step analysis. Daily time-step simulations demonstrate that maximum evacuation targets for flood control derived from the monthly analysis were remarkably robust. However, the evacuation schedules for Libby and Duncan Dams from February to April conflicted with Kootenay Lake level requirements specified in the 1938 International Joint Commission Order on Kootenay Lake. We refined the flood rule curves derived from monthly analysis by creating a gradual evacuation schedule, keeping the timing and magnitude of maximum evacuation the same as in the monthly analysis. After these refinements, the performance at monthly timescales reported in our previous study proved robust at daily timescales. Owing to a decrease in July storage deficits, additional benefits such as more revenue from hydropower generation and more July and August outflow for fish augmentation were observed when the optimized flood-control curves were used for a climate-change scenario.

Flow thickness and velocity were combined to estimate time series of the instantaneous discharge. Comparisons of the calculated overtopping discharge time series at the two locations revealed that the time series of instantaneous discharge was the same at both locations with the only difference being a short phase lag. Individual peaks of the discharge time series were examined, and an empirical expression was determined for the root-mean-squared discharge peak. The largest discharge peaks were overestimated by the Rayleigh distribution. For locations on the landward-side slope where the friction slope is approximately the same as the levee slope, it is possible to derive a stream power probability density function based on the overtopping discharge cumulative exceedance probability. The stream power probability density function may be a useful tool for assessing erosion potential of overtopped earthen levees.

The new flume can be used not only to measure erosion rates, but also to analyze and quantify the modes of transport for this complex problem. The new device was used to study transport modes of quartz particles ranging in size from 19 to 1,250 μm. As expected, the traps captured the coarse material (bed load) and the fine material bypassed the traps (suspended load). Transport properties of natural sediments from three locations were also studied. Fine sediments with little or no sand eroded as aggregates which maintained their integrity in the flume channel while moving as bed load into the traps. Natural sediments that included high percentage of sand also eroded as aggregates. However, these aggregates quickly disaggregated. Sand moved as bed load and fell into the traps while fine particles moved predominately in suspension.

Laboratory experiments were performed with a reef profile typical of fringing reef systems along the southeast coast of Guam. Spectral analysis of the measured time histories of surface elevation over the reef face and flats show significant changes to the wave energy spectrum shoreward of the break point. Most of the wave energy in the incident wave frequency band is dissipated within a few wavelengths of the reef face with the wave motions over the reef flat and shoreline dominated by oscillations at infragravity periods [O(100s) prototype]. The infragravity wave energy is minimum at the reef crest and increases as waves propagate shoreward over the reef flat and also with increasing water level on the reef. The dominant infragravity mode is the first reef oscillation mode with a wavelength approximately equal to four times the width of the reef flat. This component is resonantly amplified at the shoreline relative to the incident infragravity energy at the reef crest. A numerical model based on the Boussinesq equations is applied to the laboratory data and is able to describe complex changes to the wave spectrum over the reef flat due to nonlinear wave-wave interactions and wave breaking as well as runup at the shoreline.

Using a small case study about the battle of Okinawa (April–June 1945), the essay examines some aspects of the memory quality of World War II veterans interviewed late in life. It presents three arguments. First, American veterans of World War II were frequently reticent about recounting their memories. They often waited until late in life to do so. Second, the American World War II veterans’ interviews were generally reliable and accurate even when given late in life. Nonetheless, some problems were encountered in interviewing veterans long after a battle. Third, the veterans could provide greater detail about their initial experiences during a campaign. Recollections about their later experiences during the same the campaign were foggier. The author concedes, however, that the small size of his case study means that the conclusions can only have validity if confirmed by the experience of other oral history interviewers. Hence the author's goal is to initiate this important conversation rather than to conclude it.

Previous investigators have demonstrated that maximum output levels from headphones can exceed safe levels. Although preferred listening levels (PLL) in quiet environments may be at acceptable levels, the addition of background noise will add to the overall noise exposure of a listener. Use of listening devices that block out some of the background noise would potentially allow listeners to select lower PLLs for their music. Although one solution is in-the-ear earphones, an alternative solution is the use of earmuffs in conjunction with earbuds. Purpose: There were two objectives to this experiment. The first was to determine if an alternative to in-the- ear earphones for noise attenuation (the addition of earmuffs to earbuds) would allow for lower PLLs through a portable media player (PMP) than earbuds. The second was to determine if a surrounding background noise would yield different PLLs than a directional noise source. Research Design: This was an experimental study. Study Sample: Twenty-four adults with normal hearing. Data Collection and Analysis: PLLs were measured for three earphone configurations in three listening conditions. The earphone configurations included earbuds, canal earphones, and earbuds in combination with hearing protection devices (HPDs). The listening conditions included quiet, noise from one loudspeaker, and noise from four surrounding loudspeakers. Participants listened in each noise and earphone combination for as long as they needed to determine their PLL for that condition. Once the participant determined their PLL, investigators made a 5 sec recording of the music through a probe tube microphone. The average PLLs in each noise and earphone combination were used as the dependent variable. Ear canal level PLLs were converted to free-field equivalents to compare to noise exposure standards and previously published data. Results: The average PLL as measured in the ear canal was 74 dBA in the quiet conditions and 84 dBA in the noise conditions. Paired comparisons of the PLL in the presence of background noise for each pair of earphone configurations indicated significant differences for each comparison. An inverse relationship was observed between attenuation and PLL whereby the greater the attenuation, the lower the PLL. A comparison of the single noise source condition versus the surrounding noise condition did not result in a significant effect. Conclusion: The present work suggests that earphones that take advantage of noise attenuation can reduce the level at which listeners set music in the presence of background noise. An alternative to in-the-ear earphones for noise attenuation is the addition of earmuffs to earbuds.

Methodology needed to be developed to (1) determine the effectiveness of the soft body armor to stop bullet penetration and (2) assess the potential injury from nonpenetrating blunt impacts to the body. Extensive research was performed under the program to develop methodologies to assess soft body armor, including behind-armor blunt trauma (BABT) evaluation. This methodology is still used today, and it has been applied extensively beyond the original intent. However, the origin of this methodology is not well understood by many researchers in the various fields in which it is being applied because the original documentation is difficult to obtain. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the BABT to offer researchers information about its history and limitations.

It is unclear how cultural variables impact alcohol use in Hispanic college populations. Here, the relationships between gender, bicultural identity, familism, and adherence to traditional gender roles with heavy episodic drinking (HED) in a Hispanic college sample are assessed. Participants, 80 males and 80 females, were asked to complete a questionnaire packet, which assessed demographic information, as well as measures designed to rate drinking amount and frequency, bicultural integration, familism, and traditional gender role adherence. Average age of the sample was 19.9 years (SD = 3.05), in which the majority of participants were classified as either Freshmen or Sophomores (88.8%). Overall, 47.5% of participants reported engaging in HED, with 51% of men and 44% of women reporting HED. Univariate analyses along with logistic regression were utilized to assess possible differences and correlates of HED. Neither individual predictors nor the overall model were statistically significant. These findings suggest the need for continued assessment of HED in Hispanic college students using other culturally based constructs, as well as psychosocial factors that are found to predict heavy drinking in other ethnocultural college-aged students.

During military basic combat training (BCT), mood state, physical performance and body composition substantially improve, providing an opportunity to examine relationships between mood and nutritional and hormonal biomarkers. Method: Thirty-five females enrolled in U.S. Marine BCT, an intense physically and mentally challenging 12-week course, were studied. Every 4 weeks, mood was assessed with the Profile of Mood States (POMS), as were nutritional, metabolic and hormonal plasma markers. Results: Mood and fitness improved over BCT, and there were substantial changes in biochemical markers. Multiple regression demonstrated that, in combination, cholesterol (HDL, LDL), fructosamine, triglycerides, free fatty acids (FFA), dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S). ACTH, and substance P accounted for 44% of variation in anxiety, 40% confusion. 37% fatigue, 27% depression and 40% in total mood (p < .0001). Increased HDL, FFA, DHEA-S, and substance P were associated with degraded mood (p < .05). Increased LDL, triglycerides, fructosamine, and ACTH were associated with improved mood (p < .05). Other markers, including glucose, cortisol, and C-reactive protein were not associated with mood. Conclusions: Normal human mood state was associated with 8 plasma markers. Increased HDL and lower LDL, which are associated with improved cardiovascular status, were associated with negative affect. Fructosamine and substance P, not previously known to be related to mood, were associated with it. We are not aware of any biological parameters that in aggregate predict such a substantial proportion of variation in normal mood.

Of the military-related variables considered, a few showed relationships to suicide. Rather, the primary variables associated with suicide were soldier background characteristics, including age (17-24 years), race (White), and gender (male).

AB - STUDY DESIGN: Internet survey. PURPOSE: To describe current practice patterns in hand therapy to 1) gain insights into beliefs of certified hand therapists (CHTs) related to initiating a hand dominance transfer, 2) describe CHTs' clinical decision-making strategies, and 3) describe research priorities related to hand dominance transfer in hand therapy. PARTICIPANTS: Five hundred sixty-three members of the American Society of Hand Therapists. METHODS: The online Internet survey contained 30 questions related to four categories: 1) demographics of clinicians, 2) beliefs about hand dominance transfer, 3) clinical strategies and decision making, and 4) a research agenda related to hand dominance transfer. Data were sorted, compiled, and analyzed descriptively. RESULTS: Respondents were primarily occupational therapists working as full-time staff therapists treating between nine and 15 patients per day with orthopedic injuries to the dominant upper extremity caused by trauma. The overwhelming majority of respondents (92.7%) believed that motivation is a factor in the success of the hand dominance transfer. Most respondents (83%) do not directly initiate a hand dominance transfer. The number one reason (64%) for not initiating a dominance transfer is that CHTs believe that their patients will regain full recovery of injured hand over time. If a transfer is initiated, the number one task addressed is handwriting (62%); the most commonly recommended piece of adaptive equipment was the handsfree can opener (63.8%); 72% educate on the risk of overuse injury to the noninjured (intact) limb. Most respondents agreed or strongly agreed that more research needs to be done related to hand dominance transfer, specifically related to return to work rates, interventions using virtual reality, and assessments using neuroimaging technologies.

In this paper, we present a new radio channel allocation (RCA) scheme for WLANs with multiple data rates. First, we propose a new algorithm to dynamically estimate the number of active stations by using the least square estimator (LSE), which is unbiased and has minimum variance. Second, we derive an expression to evaluate the impact of the co-channel stations of an AP on the channel utilization of the AP based on the number of equivalent co-channel stations, which is the difference between the numbers of stations that are sensed by and associated with the AP. Third, we develop a new distributed RCA (DRCA) that considers the changing number of active stations, the impact of co-channel interference (CCI), and different traffic demands for different APs, which have not been considered by the existing RCA schemes. Simulation results have demonstrated that DRCA quickly finds optimal or suboptimal channel assignments and improves overall channel utilization for about 15 ~ 50% for different AP layouts, as compared to the existing schemes.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2010/02/15/ VL - 44 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1366 EP - 1372 SN - 0013936X AB - Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been widely used to immobilize many cationic heavy metals in water and soils. Compared with its strong sorption for metal cations, the abilities of HAP to sorb metal anions, such as arsenic, are less significant. Improving HAP sorption for anionic arsenic species is important for expanding its application potential because the presence of arsenic in the environment has raised serious health concerns and there is need for cost-effective remediation methods. In this work, we report an innovative method of copper doping to improve a synthetic HAP sorption for arsenate, which is a primary aqueous arsenic species, in simulated groundwaters. The undoped HAP and copper doped HAP (CuHAP) were characterized with XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption, and SEM, and then evaluated as sorbents for arsenate removal tests. The experimental results suggest that copper doping changed the morphology and increased the surface area of HAP. The CuHAP sorbed 1.6-9.1× more arsenate than the undoped HAP did in a simulated groundwater at pH of 7.7-8.0. The improved arsenate sorption is presumably due to the increase in surface area of HAP as a result of copper doping. In addition to the copper doping level, the arsenate sorption to HAP and CuHAP can also be increased with increasing water pH and calcium concentration. The experimental data indicate that sorbent dissolution is an important factor governing arsenate sorption to HAP and CuHAP.

A study was initiated to evaluate the uncomposted organic by-product of this process as a soil amendment for establishing native prairie grasses on disturbed Army training lands. The waste was incorporated into a silt loam soil at Fort Campbell Military Reservation in the central United States. The waste material was applied at rates of 0, 4.5, 9, 18, and 36 Mg ha-1 and seeded with native prairie grasses to assess its effects on vegetation for two growing seasons, with an additional unseeded control treatment for comparison to natural recovery. Treatments receiving the highest rate of application had significantly more native grass basal cover and percent composition than the controls. Plant phosphorus accumulation increased significantly with increasing pulp application. Soil phosphorus and lead concentrations increased in the top 10 cm of the highest application rates where pulp was mixed in the soil. Because minimal environmental effects were detected and the pulp improved perennial grass establishment and nutrition at the 36 Mg ha-1 rate, land application should be considered a viable and beneficial alternative to current waste-management practices.

Two different GC×GC column sets were investigated, one employing a non-polar column combined with a shape selective column and the other an inverse column set (medium-polar/non-polar). The inverse set maximizes the use of the two-dimensional separation space and segregates aliphatic from aromatic fractions. The shape selective column best separates individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the bulk oil. The results reveal that fog oil (FO) is composed mainly of aliphatic compounds ranging from C10 to C30, where naphthenes comprise the major fraction. Although many different species of aromatics are present, they constitute only a minor fraction in this oil, and no conjugated PAHs are found. The composition of chemically similar aliphatic constituents limits the analytical power of silica gel fractionation and GC–MS analysis to characterize FO. Among the aliphatic compounds identified are alkanes, cyclohexanes, hexahydroindanes, decalins, adamantanes, and bicyclohexane. The aromatic fraction is composed of alkylbenzene compounds, indanes, tetrahydronaphthalenes, partially hydrogenated PAHs, biphenyls, dibenzofurans and dibenzothiophenes. This work represents the best characterization of military fog oil to date. As the characterization process shows, information on such complex samples can only be parsed using a combination of sample preprocessing steps, multiple detection schemes, and an intelligent selection of column chemistries.

This study, on a northwestern Atlantic coastline spanning May through July over 4 years, demonstrates that recently hatched larvae are common in both surf zone and nearshore habitats. Taxonomic compositions of surf zone and nearshore assemblages were similar to each other and those from an adjacent estuary. An influence of upwelling events was apparent in coincident changes in abundance and/or size of several species in the surf zone. Other changes over the late spring-summer transition, including buoyancy-driven flows from the Hudson River plume, demonstrate the dynamic nature of larval fish assemblages in the New York Bight area.

JO - Biological Invasions JF - Biological Invasions Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 65 EP - 76 SN - 13873547 AB - Abstract  Non-native species are hypothesized to decrease native species establishment and cover crops are hypothesized to decrease non-native species abundance. Although many studies have compared invaded to non-invaded habitats, relatively few studies have experimentally added non-native species to directly examine their effects. In a greenhouse mesocosm experiment, we tested the effects of non-native forbs (Melilotus officinalis, Verbascum thapsus, and Lespedeza cuneata), a proposed C3 grass cover crop (Pascopyrum smithii), and a commonly seeded non-native C3 grass (Bromus inermis) on the establishment of target native C4 prairie grass species. All treatments contained the same seed density of target C4 species and were begun on bare soil collected from the field. The legume M. officinalis strongly decreased the abundance of all other species, species diversity, and light and soil moisture levels. Surprisingly, M. officinalis took up relatively large amounts of labeled nitrogen (15N) from the soil early in its development, but M. officinalis fixed nitrogen, thus increasing nitrogen in biomass nearly fivefold by the end of the study. We found few effects of either C3 grass species on non-native forbs or C4 target species, but seeded P. smithii did increase species diversity. Non-native plants therefore impeded native C4 grass establishment through long-lasting effects of target species seedbank depletion (death of most target seedlings) and altered nutrient availability. The effects of M. officinalis were not reduced by the presence of a cover crop.

T1 - An evaluation of suspicious powder screening tools for first responders JO - Journal of Hazardous Materials JF - Journal of Hazardous Materials Y1 - 2009/12/30/ VL - 172 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 559 EP - 565 SN - 03043894 AB - Abstract: Field screening tools are required which would allow first responders to quickly ascertain if a suspicious powder poses a potential threat necessitating additional testing for biological pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis. In this study, three commercially available generic screening technologies were evaluated for the effectiveness to accurately differentiate between a hoax powder and a true biological threat. The BioCheck® Kit was able to detect the following biological agents 1×108 CFU of B. anthracis Sterne (washed 4 times), 1×107 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne (washed 2 times), 1×107 CFU of Yersinia pestis A1122, and 100μg of ricin. The Prime Alert™ kit was able to detect 2×1010 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne 4×, 1×109 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne 2×, and 1×108 CFU of Y. pestis A1122. The Prime Alert™ kit was not able to detect ricin. The Profile®-1 kit was able to detect 1×104 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne 4× and B. anthracis ΔSterne 2×, and 1×106 CFU of Y. pestis A1122. The Profile®-1 kit was not able to detect ricin. All of the kits showed positive results for powders containing components specifically targeted by the particular technology being used. Each technology assessed in this evaluation employs a different mechanism for the detection of biological materials and it is important that first responders are aware of the strengths and the limitations of each system so that they can effectively employ the technology to protect the homeland.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2009/12/15/ VL - 43 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 9208 EP - 9215 SN - 0013936X AB - Water solubility values for 27 nitro compounds with experimentally measured values were computed using the conductor-like screening model for real solvent (COSMO-RS) based on the density functional theory and COSMO technique. We have found that the accuracy of the COSMO-RS approach for prediction of water solubility of liquid nitro compounds is impressively high (the errors are lower than 0.1 LU). However, for some solid nitro compounds, especially nitramines, there is sufficient disagreement between calculated and experimental values. In order to increase the accuracy of predictions the quantitative structure—property relationship (QSPR) part of the COSMO-RS approach has been modified. The solubility values calculated by the modified COSMO-RS method have shown much better agreement with the experimental values (the mean absolute errors are lower than 0.5 LU). Furthermore, this technique has been used for prediction of water solubility for an expanded set of 23 nitro compounds including nitroaromatic, nitramines, nitroanisoles, nitrogen rich compounds, and some their nitroso and amino derivatives with unknown experimental values. The solubility values predicted using the proposed computational technique could be useful for the determination of the environmental fate of military and industrial wastes and the development of remediation strategies for contaminated soils and waters. This predictive capability is especially important for unstable compounds and for compounds that have yet to be synthesized.

T1 - Molecular smallpox vaccine delivered by alphavirus replicons elicits protective immunity in mice and non-human primates JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2009/12/11/ VL - 28 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 494 EP - 511 SN - 0264410X AB - Abstract: Naturally occurring smallpox was eradicated as a result of successful vaccination campaigns during the 1960s and 1970s. Because of its highly contagious nature and high mortality rate, smallpox has significant potential as a biological weapon. Unfortunately, the current vaccine for orthopoxviruses is contraindicated for large portions of the population. Thus, there is a need for new, safe, and effective orthopoxvirus vaccines. Alphavirus replicon vectors, derived from strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, are being used to develop alternatives to the current smallpox vaccine. Here, we demonstrated that virus-like replicon particles (VRPs) expressing the vaccinia virus A33R, B5R, A27L, and L1R genes elicited protective immunity in mice comparable to vaccination with live-vaccinia virus. Furthermore, cynomolgus macaques vaccinated with a combination of the four poxvirus VRPs (4pox-VRP) developed antibody responses to each antigen. These antibody responses were able to neutralize and inhibit the spread of both vaccinia virus and monkeypox virus. Macaques vaccinated with 4pox-VRP, flu HA VRP (negative control), or live-vaccinia virus (positive control) were challenged intravenously with 5×106 pfu of monkeypox virus 1 month after the second VRP vaccination. Four of the six negative control animals succumbed to monkeypox and the remaining two animals demonstrated either severe or grave disease. Importantly, all 10 macaques vaccinated with the 4pox-VRP vaccine survived without developing severe disease. These findings revealed that a single-boost VRP smallpox vaccine shows promise as a safe alternative to the currently licensed live-vaccinia virus smallpox vaccine.

The shape of the male genitalia suggests it is a hybrid between Cx. pipiens and Cx. quinquefasciatus. We studied populations of Cx. p. pallens in Japan, Korea, and China and compared them to local populations of Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. p. pipiens. We examined variation in a nuclear intron in the acetylcholinesterase-2 gene [ACE] and eight microsatellite loci. We found a distinct microsatellite signature for Cx. p. pallens indicating restricted gene flow between Eastern and Western populations of Cx. pipiens, supporting the existence of two subspecies. Furthermore, a multilocus genotype analysis revealed current hybridization between Cx. p. pallens and Cx. quinquefasciatus in southern Japan, Republic of Korea, and China but not in Hokkaido, in northern Japan. Surprisingly, however, we found that the sex-linked ACE locus in chromosome I has introgressed asymmetrically through the males such that all male Cx. p. pallens have a copy of the Cx. quinquefasciatus ACE locus. This result highlights some of the potential consequences of hybridization between local and introduced species to disease transmission worldwide.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2009/12// VL - 29 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1714 EP - 1727 SN - 02755947 AB - Hydroelectric dam operation causes total dissolved gas (TDG) to be seasonally elevated in the lower Columbia River, as surface water concentrations approach 120%. Federally protected chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta embryos incubating in nearby spawning areas could be affected if depth-compensated TDG concentrations within the hyporheic zone exceed 103%. The objective of this study was to determine whether TDG of the hyporheic zone in two chum salmon spawning areas--one in a side channel near Ives Island, Washington, and another on the main-stem Columbia River near Multnomah Falls, Oregon--was affected by the elevated TDG of the surface water. Depth-compensated hyporheic TDG did not exceed 103% at the Multnomah Falls site. However, in the Ives Island area, chum salmon redds were exposed to TDG greater than 103% for more than 300 h. In response to river depth fluctuations, TDG varied significantly in the Ives Island area, suggesting increased interaction between the hyporheic zone and surface water at that site. We conclude from this study that the interaction between surface water and the hyporheic zone affects the concentration of TDG within the hyporheic zone directly via physical mixing and indirectly by altering water chemistry and thus dissolved gas solubility. Consideration of these interactions is important when estimating TDG exposure within egg pocket environments and will enable resource managers to optimize recovery strategies.

JO - Infection JF - Infection Y1 - 2009/12// VL - 37 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 514 EP - 521 SN - 03008126 AB - In November 2006, an outbreak of waterborne tularemia occurred in an eastern region in the Republic of Georgia. Outbreak investigation revealed 26 cases: 21 oropharyngeal and 5 glandular tularemia cases. The presentation of the index case triggered an outbreak investigation involving the collection of clinical/ epidemiological data, application of tularine skin test, and laboratory confirmation of the possible cases using the tube agglutination test and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Serology results were verified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot. A case– control study along with follow-up was conducted 4 months after the index case presentation. Exudative pharyngitis, predominantly laterocervical adenitis, fever, and headache were the most prevalent clinical signs/symptoms observed. Depressed mood, concentration difficulties, and sleep disturbance were also detected. Bubo aspirates tested by PCR were positive in 4/4 cases and pharyngeal swabs also tested by PCR were positive in 2/3 cases. Francisella tularensis was isolated from the water samples. Comparison of the cases and controls did not reveal any statistically significant risk factors. A follow-up investigation revealed cases with protracted symptoms of fatigue, headache, and sleep disturbance. Additionally, 8/26 cases still had cervical adenopathy of prominent size. A delay in diagnosis was associated with persistent lymphadenopathy on follow-up examination (p = 0.05). We observed unique features of persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms and lymphadenopathy 5 months after tularemia infection which were associated with delayed diagnosis and the lack of prompt response to therapy. This outbreak of oropharyngeal tularemia emphasizes the importance of a rapid diagnostic and investigative response to tularemia. This type of response can prevent ongoing exposure, as well as provide expeditious treatment to mitigate persistent symptoms.

This study was designed to quantify relationships between western pine beetle trap catches [including those of its primary invertebrate predator Temnochila chiorodia (Mannerheim) (Coleoptera: Trogositidae) 1' and levels of tree mortality attributed to western pine beetle at 44 trapping sites (stands) and within five general locations (forests) in California. Further- more, we evaluated relationships between forest stand characteristics and levels of western pine beetle-caused tree mortality. Preliminary analyses were conducted by Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) using tree mortality per hectare and percentage of tree mortality and 10 potential predictor variables. All predictor variables that had significant correlations (western pine beetle per day, western pine beetle: T. chiorodia, percentage of western pine beetle [percentage of total trap catch represented by western pine beetle], trees per hectare, basal area of all tree species, basal area of P. ponderosa, mean diameter at breast height [dbh] and stand density index) were considered for linear and multiple linear regression models for predicting levels of western pine beetle-caused tree mortality. Our results suggest monitoring western pine beetle populations through the use of pheromone-baited multiple funnel traps is not an effective means of predicting levels of western pine beetle-caused tree mortality. However, levels of western pine beetle-caused tree mortality can be efficiently predicted (adjusted R2 >0.90) at large spatial scales (forests; ≈3,000-14,000 ha of contiguous host) by simply measuring stand density, specifically the basal area of all tree species or stand density index. The implications of these results to forest management are discussed.

Our work, based on in-depth high-resolution liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry analysis along with extensive NMR study, led us to structurally characterize 42-hydroxy-palytoxin, a new palytoxin congener. This toxin and palytoxin itself appeared to be the major components of toxic extract from a P. tuberculosasample, while 42-hydroxy-palytoxin was proven by far to be the main palytoxin derivative in P. toxica. Functional studies on this new palytoxin-like compound suggest that the new palytoxin analogue and palytoxin itself present similar biological activities.

This paper presents a methodology for inferring road type and traffic congestion (RT&TC) levels from available onboard vehicle data and then using this information for improved vehicle power management. A machine-learning algorithm has been developed to learn the critical knowledge about fuel efficiency on 11 facility-specific drive cycles representing different road types and traffic congestion levels, as well as a neural learning algorithm for the training of a neural network to predict the RT&TC level. An online University of Michigan-Dearborn intelligent power controller (UMD_IPC) applies this knowledge to real-time vehicle power control to achieve improved fuel efficiency. UMD_IPC has been fully implemented in a conventional (nonhybrid) vehicle model in the powertrain systems analysis toolkit (PSAT) environment. Simulations conducted on the standard drive cycles provided by the PSAT show that the performance of the UMD_IPC algorithm is very close to the offline controller that is generated using a dynamic programming optimization approach. Furthermore, UMD_IPC gives improved fuel consumption in a conventional vehicle, alternating neither the vehicle structure nor its components.

Although the main intent of a RDD is to produce general panic and chaos, other impacts such as health, environmental, property and economical damage may also occur. Although one certain method of reducing health risks from a RDD event is to remove the radioactive contaminants from the environment immediately, rapid cleanup after a RDD event may be impossible in many cases. However, preventing the migration of the radioactive contaminant is crucial. Although it may be necessary to allow the contaminant to remain in place, preventing its migration is still essential. Fixatives can reduce or eliminating migration potential of a contaminant introduced by a RDD. This paper reviews the significance of fixatives in response to a RDD event and some of the products which have been identified for such a purpose. Many of the products are promising for application. However, many reports lack quantitative information to allow for effective comparative evaluation. Further, key parameters, such as shelf life and product toxicity, are not typically evaluated. We recommend that standardized performance parameters be established to allow for better comparative evaluation.

T1 - Galantamine is a novel post-exposure therapeutic against lethal VX challenge JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2009/10/15/ VL - 240 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 166 EP - 173 SN - 0041008X AB - Abstract: The ability of galantamine hydrobromide (GAL HBr) treatment to antagonize O-ethyl-S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothiolate (VX)-induced lethality, impairment of muscle tension, and electroencephalographic (EEG) changes was assessed in guinea pigs. Guinea pigs were challenged with 16.8 μg/kg VX (2LD50). One min after challenge, animals were administered 0.5 mg/kg atropine sulfate (ATR) and 25 mg/kg pyridine-2-aldoxime methochloride (2-PAM). In addition, guinea pigs were given 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 10 mg/kg GAL as a post-exposure treatment immediately prior to ATR and 2-PAM. Animals were either monitored for 24-h survival, scheduled for electroencephalography (EEG) recording, or euthanized 60 min later for measurement of indirectly-elicited muscle tension in the hemidiaphragm. Post-exposure GAL therapy produced a dose-dependent increase in survival from lethal VX challenge. Optimal clinical benefits were observed in the presence of 10 mg/kg GAL, which led to 100% survival of VX-challenged guinea pigs. Based on muscle physiology studies, GAL post-exposure treatment protected the guinea pig diaphragm, the major effector muscle of respiration, from fatigue, tetanic fade, and muscular paralysis. Protection against the paralyzing effects of VX was dose-dependent. In EEG studies, GAL did not alter seizure onset for all doses tested. At the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg), GAL decreased seizure duration when administered as a post-exposure treatment 1 min after VX. GAL also reduced the high correlation associated between seizure activity and lethality after 2LD50 VX challenge. GAL may have additional benefits both centrally and peripherally that are unrelated to its established mechanism as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI).

Early endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) effects may delay maturation and have long-term effects on lifetime reproduction, especially in precocial birds that complete sexual differentiation prior to hatch. Semi-altricial and altricial species appear more resilient to EDC effects and show a gradient in sensitivity, especially in the neuroplastic song system. Embryonic steroid exposure occurs via maternally deposited steroids followed by embryo produced hormones; EDCs potentially affect these developing systems. As such, EDCs can impact lifelong fitness by acting on neural systems that regulate reproduction, metabolism, and behavior.

THERM tools have been tested with three types of pork sausage but not with other pork products or during sequential temperature abuse periods. We conducted inoculation studies (five strains each of S. aureus and/or Salmonella plus E. coli O157:H7) with simulated cooling of warm sausages, process warming of bratwurst, isothermal temperature abuse of pork frankfurter batter, and two sequential periods of 13, 15.6, or 21.1°C temperature abuse of breakfast sausage, natural (additive-free) chops, and enhanced (phosphate solution-injected) loins. In sequential temperature abuse studies, a temperature abuse period (≤24 h) occurred before and after either refrigeration (5°C for 24 h), or freezing (-20°C for 24 h) and thawing (24 h at 5°C). Pathogen growth predictions from THERM developed using ground pork and sausage were compared with experimental results of 0 to 3.0 log CFU of growth. Across all temperature abuse conditions, qualitative predictions (growth versus no growth) made using the pork tool (n = 133) and the sausage tool (n = 115) were accurate (51 and 50%, respectively), fail-safe (44 and 50%), or fail-dangerous (5 and 0%). Quantitative predictions from the two tools were accurate (29 and 22%, respectively), fail-safe (59 and 73%), or fail-dangerous (12 and 5%). Pathogen growth was greater during the second sequential temperature abuse period but not significantly so (P > 0.05). Both THERM tools provide useful qualitative predictions of pathogen growth in pork products during isolated or sequential temperature abuse events.

Typical measures to ensure forest regeneration have included physical barriers or direct manipulation of deer densities. However, altering silvicultural practices to provide abundant deer forage has not been tested thoroughly. We examined browse species preferences and changes in herbivory rates in 1–6 year old regeneration areas from 2001 to 2004 in the central Appalachians on the MeadWestvaco Wildlife and Ecosystem Research Forest in West Virginia. Woody vegetation reached the maximum plot coverage by the 4th growing season. However, the establishment of less abundant woody species, such as northern red oak (Quercus rubra), may be inhibited when browsed greater than or proportionally to occurrence. Herbivory rates declined precipitously as the amount of early successional habitat increased on our study site. We conclude that providing approximately 14% of an area in well-distributed, even-aged managed forests can have substantial impacts on reducing herbivory rates. However, management practices also should consider harvesting effects on hard mast production, habitat requirements of other species, and hardwood lumber marketability.

JO - International Journal of Remote Sensing JF - International Journal of Remote Sensing Y1 - 2009/09/10/ VL - 30 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4457 EP - 4477 SN - 01431161 AB - This study investigates applications and efficiencies of remotely sensed data and the sensitivity of grid spacing for the sampling and mapping of a ground and vegetation cover factor in a monitoring system of soil erosion dynamics by cokriging with Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery based on regionalized variable theory. The results show that using image data can greatly reduce the number of ground sample plots and sampling cost required for collection of data. Under the same precision requirement, the efficiency gain is significant as the ratio of ground to image data used varies from 1: 1 to 1: 16. Moreover, we proposed and discussed several modifications to the cokriging procedure with image data for sampling and mapping. First, directly using neighbouring pixels for image data in sampling design and mapping is more efficient at increasing the accuracy of maps than using sampled pixels. Although information among neighbouring pixels might be considered redundant, spatial cross-correlation of spectral variables with the cover factor can provide the basis for an increase in accuracy. Secondly, this procedure can be applied to investigate the appropriate spatial resolution of imagery, which, for sampling and mapping the cover factor, should be 90 m × 90 m - nearly consistent with the line transect size of 100 m used for the ground field survey. In addition, we recommend using the average of cokriging variance to determine the global grid spacing of samples, instead of the maximum cokriging variance.

Due to the eradication of smallpox, the evaluation of the efficacy of new-generation smallpox vaccines depends on relevant well-developed animal studies for vaccine licensure. In this study, we tested the efficacy of IMVAMUNE® [modified vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN®)] for protecting rabbits against aerosolized RPXV. Rabbits were vaccinated with either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), Dryvax®, a single low dose of IMVAMUNE®, a single high dose of IMVAMUNE®, or twice with a high dose of IMVAMUNE®. Aerosol challenge with a lethal dose of RPXV was performed 4 weeks after the last vaccination. All PBS control animals succumbed to the disease or were euthanized because of the disease within 7 days postexposure. The rabbits vaccinated with Dryvax®, a low dose of IMVAMUNE®, or a single high dose of IMVAMUNE® showed minimal to moderate clinical signs of the disease, but all survived the challenge. The only clinical sign displayed by rabbits that had been vaccinated twice with a high dose of IMVAMUNE® was mild transient anorexia in just two out of eight rabbits. This study shows that IMVAMUNE® can be a very effective vaccine against aerosolized RPXV.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 29 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1023 EP - 1035 SN - 02775212 AB - The loss of coastal wetlands throughout the Hawaiian Islands has increased the numbers of created (CW) and restored (RW) wetlands. An assessment of these wetlands has yet to occur, and it has not been determined whether CWs and RWs provide the same functions as natural wetlands (NWs). To address these concerns, vegetation and soil characteristics of 35 wetlands were compared within sites along hydrologic gradients and among sites with different surface water salinity and status (i.e., CW, RW, NW). Only 16 of 85 plant species identified were native and three of the four most abundant species were exotic. Vegetative characteristics differed primarily across salinity classes, then along hydrologic zones, and to a lesser extent among CWs, RWs, and NWs. Soil properties exhibited fewer differences across salinity classes and along hydrologic zones and greater differences among CWs, RWs, and NWs. The dominant presence of invasive species in coastal Hawaiian wetlands suggests that it will be difficult to locate reference sites that can be used as restoration targets. Differences in edaphic characteristics suggested that RWs/CWs do not exhibit the same functions as NWs. Future restoration and creation should include planting of native vegetation, controlling invasive vegetation, and alleviating inadequate soil conditions.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 29 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 952 EP - 963 SN - 02775212 AB - Mean soil respiration rates (carbon dioxide efflux from bare soils) among salt marshes Narragansett Bay, RI ranged from 1.7-7.8 µmol m -2 -1in Spartina patens in high marsh zones a 1.7-6.0 μmol m -2 -1 in S. alterniflora in low marsh zones. The soil respiration rates significantly increased along a gradient of increasing watershed nitrogen (N) loads (S. alterniflora, R⊃2 = 0.95, P = 0.0008; S. patens, R⊃2 = 0.70, P = 0.02). As the soil respiration increased, the percent carbon (C) and N in the soil surface layer decreased in the S. alterniflora, suggesting that in part, the increased soil respiration rates are contributing to the increased turnover of labile organic matter. In contrast, there were no apparent relationships between the soil respiration rates in the high marsh and the soil C and N contents of the surface layer. However, there was a broad-scale pattern and significant inverse relationship between the high marsh soil respiration rates and the landscape belowground biomass of S. patens. As more and more salt marsh systems are subjected to increasing nutrient loads, decomposition rates of soil organic matter may increase in marsh soils leading to higher turnover rates of C and N.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 19 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 49 EP - 62 SN - 10515658 AB - In efforts to evaluate the use of plants as a forensic tool for delineating contaminated soil and groundwater, a laboratory experiment and a field sampling effort were undertaken. Site assessments are often costly and inaccurate, requiring multiple mobilizations to hone in on source areas and getting accurate estimates of contaminant extent and distribution. As these extensive site delineations take place, valuable time and resources are lost. The findings of this study show that plants can be used as a tool to evaluate a variety of subsurface contaminants, either in the vadose zone or in the saturated zone. In the first field application of Taproot™ Technology, a large, heavily forested site was sampled in one day and the contamination on-site was more accurately delineated than had been generated at the site in over a decade, with more than 26 wells installed. New source zones were detected on the site, and the presence of new waste depositions was uncovered for the first time showing the great value of tree coring as a contaminant detection tool. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

T1 - Medical management of cutaneous sulfur mustard injuries JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 263 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 47 EP - 58 SN - 0300483X AB - Abstract: Background: Sulfur mustard (2,2′-dichlorodiethyl sulfide; HD) is a potent vesicating chemical warfare agent that poses a continuing threat to both military and civilian populations. Significant cutaneous HD injuries can take several months to heal, necessitate lengthy hospitalizations, and result in long-term complications. There are currently no standardized or optimized methods of casualty management. New strategies are needed to provide for optimal and rapid wound healing. Objective: The primary aim of this research was to develop improved clinical strategies (treatment guidelines) for optimal treatment of superficial dermal (second degree) cutaneous HD injuries, with the goal of returning damaged skin to optimal appearance and normal function in the shortest period of time. Methods: Superficial dermal HD injuries were created on the ventral abdominal surface of weanling pigs. At 48h post-exposure, lesions were laser debrided and a treatment adjunct applied. Cultured epithelial allografts and 11 commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products were examined for their efficacy in improving wound healing of these injuries. Clinical evaluations and a variety of non-invasive bioengineering methods were used at 7 and 14 days post-surgery to follow the progress of wound healing and evaluate various cosmetic and functional properties of the wounds. Measurements included reflectance colorimetry to measure erythema; evaporimetry to examine transepidermal water loss as a method of evaluating barrier function; torsional ballistometry to evaluate the mechanical properties of skin firmness and elasticity; and two-dimensional high frequency ultrasonography (HFU) to monitor skin thickness (e.g., edema, scar tissue). Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed 14 days following surgery to examine structural integrity and quality of healing. Logical Decisions® for Windows was used to rank the 12 treatment adjuncts that were studied. Results: The most efficacious treatment adjuncts included (1) Vacuum Assisted Closure™, V.A.C.®, involving application of topical negative pressure, (2) Amino-Plex® Spray (biO2 Cosmeceuticals International, Inc., Beverly Hills, CA), a nutritive cosmeceutical product that is designed to increase oxygen in cells, stimulate ATP synthesis, improve glucose transportation, stimulate collagen formation, and promote angiogenesis, and (3) ReCell® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (Clinical Cell Culture Americas LLC, Coral Springs, Florida), an innovative medical device that was developed to allow rapid harvesting of autologous cells from a thin split-thickness biopsy followed by spray application of a population of skin cells onto wounds within 30min of collecting the biopsy, without the need of culturing the keratinocytes in a clinical laboratory. Conclusions: Complete re-epithelialization of debrided HD injuries in 7 days is possible. In general, shallow laser debridement through the basement membrane zone (100μm) appears to provide better results than deeper debridement (400μm) with respect to early re-epithelialization, cosmetic appearance, functional restoration, and structural integrity. Of the 12 treatment adjuncts examined, the most promising included Vacuum Assisted Closure™, Amino-Plex® Spray, and ReCell® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device.

T1 - Evaluation of protease inhibitors and an antioxidant for treatment of sulfur mustard-induced toxic lung injury JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 263 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 46 SN - 0300483X AB - Abstract: Sulfur mustard (SM)-induced lung injury has been associated with protease activation, oxidative injury and inflammatory response culminating in tissue necrosis. The protease inhibitors aprotinin and ilomastat and the antioxidant trolox were evaluated for efficacy in ameliorating SM-induced lung injury. Anesthetized spontaneously breathing rats (N =6–8/group) were intratracheally intubated and exposed to 1.4mg/kg SM (0.35mg SM in 0.1ml of ethanol) or ethanol alone by vapor inhalation for 50min. At 1min before the exposure rats were treated with one of the following: intravenous aprotinin, 4.4mg/kg; intraperitoneal (ip) ilomastat, 25mg/kg; or ip trolox, 500μg/kg. Aprotinin-treated animals received supplemental 2.2mg/kg doses at 1min and 6h post-exposure (PE). A whole body plethysmograph system was used to monitor pulmonary function (PF) parameters for 1h before exposure (baseline), and from 5–6 and 23–24h post-exposure. SM inhalation caused significant increases in several PF parameters, including tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow, peak expiratory flow, end expiratory pause and enhanced pause. Consistent with the reported development of SM-induced pathology, these changes were minimal at the 5–6-h time and significant at the 23–24-h timepoint. At the later time it is known from previous work that airways are becoming obstructed with loose cellular debris, damaged cells and exudate, which contributed to the changes in PF parameters. Treatment with aprotinin or ilomastat eliminated these PF changes, yielding results comparable with controls for each of these parameters. Lung lavage fluid analysis showed that SM caused a significant increase in total protein (TP) and in the cytokines IL-1α and IL-13. Aprotinin treatment prevented the increases in TP and IL-1α production, ilomastat prevented the increased production of IL-13, and trolox treatment did not significantly prevent the SM-related increases in TP, IL-1α or IL-13. Histopathologic examination of lung tissue 24h post-exposure showed minimal alveolar effects caused by SM, while damage to bronchiolar regions was much more severe due to the highly reactive nature of SM. While aprotinin and ilomastat both alleviated the PF perturbations, surprisingly only aprotinin reduced the observed pathology, both grossly and histologically. These early results indicate that treatment with aprotinin and to a lesser extent ilomastat reduces some of the direct inflammatory response and damage associated with SM-induced lung injury.

Mechanisms for seizure production, seen in past animal studies, have not been described. Increased calcium levels contribute to excitotoxicity, so in this study neuroblastoma cells are loaded with calcium-indicating dye before application of 1.5 mM to 7.5 mM RDX, with fluorescence recorded for 30 cycles of 11 seconds each. The lowest concentration of RDX increases calcium fluorescence significantly above baseline for cycles 2 to 8; millimolar concentrations increase calcium fluorescence significantly above baseline for cycles 2 to 30. Increases in calcium, like those of 200 nM carbachol, are prevented with 10 mM of calcium chelator ethylene glycol-bis(b-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N tetra-acetic acid (EGTA, tetrasodium salt). Calcium channel blocker verapamil (20 mM), Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (5 mM), and general membrane stabilizer lidocaine (10 mM) partially attenuate carbachol- and RDX-induced increases in calcium, suggesting that RDX transiently increases intracellular calcium by multiple mechanisms.

An upgradient cathode and downgradient anode, spaced 35 cm apart, were used to create alkaline reducing conditions followed by oxic, acidic conditions to degrade RDX by combination of alkaline hydrolysis and direct electrolysis. A preliminary experiment (25 mg/L RDX influent) with seepage velocity of 30.5 cm/day and current density of 9.9 A/m² was used to determine the treatment feasibility and the aqueous products of RDX decomposition. Three additional column experiments (0.5 mg/L RDX influent) under the same conditions as the preliminary column were used to observe the treatment process repeatability and the alkaline treatment zone development. The results demonstrated approximately 95% decomposition of ROX in the column with an applied current density of 9.9 A/m². Aqueous end-products formate, nitrite, and nitrate were detected in the effluent Approximately 75% of the RDX was destroyed near the cathode, presumably by electrolysis, with 23% decomposed downstream of the cathode by alkaline hydrolysis. The preliminary column pseudo first order alkaline hydrolysis rate coefficient of 10.7 × 10-3 min-1 wax used to estimate a treatment zone length less than 100 cm for RDX treatment below the EPA drinking water lifetime health advisory of 0.002 mg/L.

Volunteers who received the inactivated eastern and western equine encephalitis (EEE and WEE) vaccines before live attenuated Venezuelan (VEE) vaccine had significantly lower rates of antibody response than those receiving VEE vaccine before EEE and WEE vaccines (66.7% vs. 80.6%; p =0.026). The odds of having a VEE antibody non-response among those initially receiving EEE and WEE vaccines, adjusted for gender, were significant (odds ratio [OR]=2.20; 95% CI=1.2–4.1 [p =0.0145]) as were the odds of non-response among females adjusted for group (OR=1.81; 95% CI=1.2–2.7 [p =0.0037]). Antibody interference and gender effect have major implications for vaccine strategy among those receiving multiple alphavirus vaccines and those developing next generation vaccines for these threats.

As a result of these interactions, future research directions were defined, the outcome of which should result in a robust model to help define the molecular mechanism(s) of spore germination. Mechanistic understanding of germination will be instrumental for developing novel sterilization, treatment, and decontamination strategies to mitigate threats posed by spores.

The survey included the collection of sediment-profile and plan-view images, and benthic biology grabs. Each of these techniques provides a different, yet complementary perspective on benthic community conditions. These complementary techniques aided in the assessment of the benthic recovery process within RISDS following the placement of dredged material from the Providence River and Harbor Maintenance Dredging Project (PRHMDP). Based on observed patterns of physical, chemical, and biological responses of seafloor environments to dredged material disposal activity it was expected that the benthic community within RISDS would be in an intermediate phase of recolonization (Stage II). Results of the 2005 RISDS survey indicated that in the six months since disposal activities at RISDS had concluded, the biological community at RISDS was recovering relatively rapidly and Stages II and III infauna were present throughout the region.

JO - Journal of Mammalogy JF - Journal of Mammalogy Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 90 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 743 EP - 751 SN - 00222372 AB - Stable hydrogen isotopes (δDs) in metabolically inert tissues such as feathers and hair provide a set of endogenous markers that may be useful for establishing migratory connectivity in animals. We tested the assumption of a clear relationship between δD values of growing-season-weighted average precipitation (δDp) derived from 2 geographic information system (GIS) models or latitude (LAT) and δD values in bat hair (δDh), and examined intra- and interspecific variation in δDh of 4 bat species in the eastern United States. We analyzed 251 hair samples from 1 long-distance migrant (eastern red bat [Lasiurus borealis]) and 3 regional migrants (Indiana bat [Myotis sodalis], northern long-eared bat [M. septentrionalis], and little brown bat [M. lucifugus]) captured during the reproductive period (pregnancy and lactation) when bats are resident. LAT explained more of the variation in δDh than δDp derived from either of the GIS-based models, although 1 model of δDp performed better for some species. We found significant intraspecific differences in the relationships between δDh and LAT and between δDh and estimates of δDp derived from Bowen et al. (δDpB) for L. borealis, and significant variation in the regression equations of δDh and LAT and δDh and δDp among species for adult females and adult males. Stable hydrogen isotope analysis may be a valuable tool for studying migratory connectivity in bats, but significant intra- and interspecific variation in δDh values suggests that pooling across sex and age categories and use of surrogate species should be avoided.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 29 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 451 EP - 464 SN - 02775212 AB - Data on vegetation composition and structure, soil and leaf nutrient pools, soil redox potential, and surface water hydrologic connectivity were collected from floodplains along six river reaches in western Tennessee to examine the effects of channel modifications on associated riparian systems. Comparisons among channelization treatments (non-channelized reaches, channelized and leveed reaches, channelized but non-leveed reaches) and floodplain geomorphology (depression and nondepressional sites) showed that hydrologic connectivity was affected by channelization treatments, particularly leveeing. The disconnected floodplains were drier, maintained higher nutrient pools, and had greater herbaceous biomass than floodplains still connected to channel hydrology. Runoff onto floodplains from the agriculturally dominated landscape of channelized and leveed tributaries, and flooding stress in the form of scour on floodplains along streams without levees may explain the observed pattern. Channel and floodplain hydrologic processes were most strongly connected for unchannelized streams. Unchannelized streams were varied in soil redox potential, water table, and nutrient pools. Vegetation composition reflects both historical hydrologic regimes and disturbances, and thus complex relationships to channel modifications. Results suggest both the subsidy (i.e., nutrient inputs) and the stress of flood events have been altered by anthropogenic activities, but these alterations were greatest in channelized systems compared to unchannelized systems.

One reason is these parameters are scattered in the literature with each publication starting and ending at different stages. In many institutions professors do not discuss or even mention these topics, particularly from a second law perspective. When teaching combined cycle cogeneration systems to undergraduates, the professor should introduce pertinent parameters in a systematic fashion and discuss the usefulness and limitations of each parametee Ultimately for a given situation, the student should be able to determine which parameters form the most appropriate basis for comparison when considering alternative designs. This paper provides two approaches, one based on energy (the first law of thermodynamics) and the other based on exergy (the second law of thermodynamics). These approaches are discussed with emphasis on the precise" teaching of the subject matter to undergraduates. The intent is to make coverage of the combined cycle cogeneration systems manageable so that professors can appropriately incorporate the topic into the curricula with relative ease.

Here, we study the composition and aquatic toxicity of low-purity, as-produced fullerenes (C60) and metallofullerene waste solids, both of which were generated via arc-discharge synthesis. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) were used to characterize the metals composition of the solid test materials and of aqueous leachates prepared by mixing test materials with waters of varying pH, hardness, and salinity. The aquatic toxicity of the leachates was determined using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommended aquatic bioassay protocols with two standard test organisms- Pimephales promelas and Ceriodaphnia dubia. Results indicated that metals associated with the solid test materials became mobilized in ourtest system upon interaction with waters of circumneutral pH and reached concentrations sufficient to induce toxicity in both test species. Acute (48 h) LC50 values for P. promelas and C. dubia exposed to leachates prepared from metallofullerene waste solids were 54 and 5% (as % leachate in diluent), respectively. Toxicity was eliminated after adding the chelator EDTA to the leachates, implicating divalenttransition metals as the toxicity source. Our results demonstrate the aquatic toxicity of metals mobilized from products and byproducts of nanomanufacturing, and they emphasize the need for a global review of nanomanufacturing wastes and low-purity products.

A systematic study, in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was jointly undertaken by the U.S. Army-Edgewood Chemical Biological Center to determine the sporicidal efficacies of these two fumigants on six building structural materials: carpet, ceiling tile, unpainted cinder block, painted I-beam steel, painted wallboard, and unpainted pinewood. Critical issues related to high-throughput sample processing and spore recovery from porous and nonporous surfaces included (i) the extraction of spores from complex building materials, (ii) the effects of titer challenge levels on fumigant efficacy, and (iii) the impact of bioburden inclusion on spore recovery from surfaces and spore inactivation. Small pieces (1.3 by 1.3 cm of carpet, ceiling tile, wallboard, I-beam steel, and pinewood and 2.5 by 1.3 cm for cinder block) of the materials were inoculated with an aliquot of 50 μl containing the target number (1 × 106, 1 × 107, or 1 × 108) of avirulent spores of B. anthracis NNR1Δ1. The aliquot was dried overnight in a biosafety cabinet, and the spores were extracted by a combination of a 10-min sonication and a 2-min vortexing using 0.5% buffered peptone water as the recovery medium. No statistically significant drop in the kill efficacies of the fumigants was observed when the spore challenge level was increased from 6 log units to 8 log units, even though a general trend toward inhibition of fumigant efficacy was evident. The organic burden (0 to 5%) in the spore inoculum resulted in a statistically significant drop in spore recovery (at the 2 or 5% level). The effect on spore killing was a function of the organic bioburden amount and the material type. In summary, a high-throughput quantitative method was developed for determining the efficacies of fumigants, and the spore recoveries from five porous materials and one nonporous material ranged between 20 and 80%.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 21 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 648 EP - 657 SN - 08958378 AB - We investigated the toxic effects of the chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) soman (GD) on the respiratory dynamics of guinea pigs following microinstillation inhalation exposure. Male Hartley guinea pigs were exposed to 841 mg/m3 of GD or saline for 4 min. At 24 and 48 h post GD exposure, respiratory dynamics and functions were monitored for 75 min after 1 h of stabilization in a barometric whole-body plethysmograph. GD-exposed animals showed a significant increase in respiratory frequency (RF) at 24 h postexposure compared to saline controls. The 24-h tidal volume (TV) increased in GD-exposed animals during the last 45 min of the 75-min monitoring period in the barometric whole-body plethysmograph. Minute ventilation also increased significantly at 24 h post GD exposure. The peak inspiratory flow (PIF) increased, whereas peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased at 24 h and was erratic following GD exposure. Animals exposed to GD showed a significant decrease in expiratory (Te) and inspiratory time (Ti). Although end inspiratory pause (EIP) and end expiratory pause (EEP) were both decreased 24 h post GD exposure, EEP was more evident. Pause (P) decreased equally during the 75-min recording in GD-exposed animals, whereas the pseudo lung resistance (Penh) decreased initially during the monitoring period but was near control levels at the end of the 75-min period. The 48-h respiratory dynamics and function parameter were lower than 24 post GD exposures. These results indicate that inhalation exposure to soman in guinea pigs alters respiratory dynamics and function at 24 and 48 h postexposure.

To compare the incidence of influenza-like illness following immunization of adults with LAIV vs. TIV, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of active component U.S. military personnel for the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 influenza seasons. Recruits experienced a much higher burden of disease compared to non-recruits, with crude incidence rates of influenza-like illness 2–16 times higher than non-recruits depending on the season and cohort. For both seasons, a slightly greater protection from influenza-like illness was found for non-recruits who received TIV compared to LAIV (adjusted incidence rate ratio, 1.17 (95% CI, 1.14–1.20) and 1.33 (95% CI, 1.30–1.36), 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 influenza seasons, respectively). However, for Army and Air Force recruits, LAIV was found to provide significantly greater protection from influenza-like illnesses compared to TIV, with adjusted incidence rates of influenza-like illness 22–51% and 18–47% lower among LAIV compared to TIV recipients for the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 influenza seasons, respectively. Possible reasons for differences in recruit and non-recruit findings include differences in pre-existing influenza antibody levels, differing respiratory disease burden, and/or unmeasured confounding. Consideration of these findings should be made when developing influenza immunization policies.

Stabilization of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Marine Sediment. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2009/05/15/ VL - 43 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3815 EP - 3823 SN - 0013936X AB - We report results on the first field-scale application of activated carbon (AC) amendment to contaminated sediment for in-situ stabilization of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The test was performed on a tidal mud flat at South Basin, adjacent to the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco Bay, CA. The major goals of the field study were to (1) assess scale up of the AC mixing technology using two available, large-scale devices, (2) validate the effectiveness of the AC amendment at the field scale, and (3) identify possible adverse effects of the remediation technology. Also, the test allowed comparison among monitoring tools, evaluation of longer-term effectiveness of AC amendment, and identification of field-related factors that confound the performance of in-situ biological assessments. Following background pretreatment measurements, we successfully incorporated AC into sediment to a nominal 30 cm depth during a single mixing event, as confirmed by total organic carbon and black carbon contents in the designated test plots. The measured AC dose averaged 2.0-3.2 wt% and varied depending on sampling locations and mixing equipment AC amendment did not impact sediment resuspension or PCB release into the water column over the treatment plots, nor adversely impact the existing macro benthic community composition, richness, or diversity. The PCB bioaccumulation in marine clams was reduced when exposed to sediment treated with 2% AC in comparison to the control plot Field-deployed semi permeable membrane devices and polyethylene devices showed about 50% reduction in PCB uptake in AC-treated sediment and similar reduction in estimated pore- water PCB concentration. This reduction was evident even after 13-month post-treatment with then 7 months of continuous exposure, indicating AC treatment efficacy was retained for an extended period. Aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations and PCB desorption showed an AC-dose response. Field- exposed AC after 18 months retained a strong stabilization capability to reduce aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations by about 90%, which also supports the long-term effectiveness of AC in the field. Additional mixing during or after AC deployment increasing AC dose, reducing AC-particle size, and sequential deployment of AC dose will likely improve AC-sediment contact and overall effectiveness. The reductions in PCB availability observed with slow mass transfer under field conditions calls for predictive models to assess the long-term trends in pore-water PCB concentrations and the benefits of alternative in-situ AC application and mixing strategies.

JO - Water Policy JF - Water Policy Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 11 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 379 EP - 399 SN - 13667017 AB - Texas faces a number of issues in an attempt to balance the water needs of a growing population while at the same time trying to conserve its water resources. Some of these issues include infrastructure improvements and provision of new supplies, changing patterns of use, water marketing and aquifer depletion. With aquifers providing 60% of all the water used in Texas, protecting and keeping these sources viable in the future is a key priority in addressing the state's water issues. With the state's emphasis on local control and the existence of between 80 and 90 groundwater districts state-wide, this research seeks to answer the question "Do groundwater districts in the State of Texas make a difference in groundwater depletion?" We use panel data from a set of 8,110 observations in a fixed effects regression to help us answer this question. We find evidence to suggest that groundwater districts do make a difference. After taking into consideration a couple of potential threats to validity, we run our model on a per district basis and by groundwater management areas. We also run it on a per aquifer basis and compare results with recommendations in the 2007 Texas Water Plan as a reality check. If we successfully answer the question that districts do in fact matter, the next logical step is to investigate what it is that districts do that makes a difference.

It is an androgen receptor antagonist and testosterone hydroxylase modulator that is also more persistent than its parent compound. In a previous study we demonstrated that embryonic exposure to different doses of p,p′-DDE accelerated onset of puberty in females and reduced male reproductive behavior. In the present study we investigated the long-term effects of the exposure to p,p′-DDE on the differentiation of male Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) limbic circuits related to male copulatory behavior: the parvocellular vasotocin (VT) system. We observed a decrease in the density of VT-immunoreactive fibers within the medial preoptic nucleus, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and lateral septum in p,p′-DDE-treated birds, while no differences could be detected in the magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus. In particular the lowest dose of p,p′-DDE causes the highest decrease of VT immunoreactivity. This study provides further evidence for VT system sensitivity towards endocrine disrupting chemicals and demonstrates that the VT system may be an appropriate and sensitive biomarker for early p,p′-DDE exposure in birds.

This paper presents a flexible methodology for conducting climate change risk assessments involving reservoir operations. Decision makers can apply this methodology to their systems by selecting future periods and risk metrics relevant to their planning questions and by collectively evaluating system impacts relative to an ensemble of climate projection scenarios (weighted or not). This paper shows multiple applications of this methodology in a case study involving California's Central Valley Project and State Water Project systems. Multiple applications were conducted to show how choices made in conducting the risk assessment, choices known as analytical design decisions, can affect assessed risk. Specifically, risk was reanalyzed for every choice combination of two design decisions: (1) whether to assume climate change will influence flood-control constraints on water supply operations (and how), and (2) whether to weight climate change scenarios (and how). Results show that assessed risk would motivate different planning pathways depending on decision-maker attitudes toward risk (e.g., risk neutral versus risk averse). Results also show that assessed risk at a given risk attitude is sensitive to the analytical design choices listed above, with the choice of whether to adjust flood-control rules under climate change having considerably more influence than the choice on whether to weight climate scenarios.

Experiments dispersing multi-walled CNT in solutions of dissolved Aldrich humic acid (HA) or water-extractable Catlin soil HS demonstrated enhanced stability at 150 and 300mg L−1 added Aldrich HA and Catlin HS, respectively, corresponding with decreased CNT mean particle diameter (MPD) and polydispersivity (PD) of 250nm and 0.3 for Aldrich HA and 450nm and 0.35 for Catlin HS. Analogous trends in MPD and PD were observed with addition of the surfactants Brij 35, Triton X-405, and SDS, corresponding to surfactant sorption maximum. NEXAFS characterization showed that Aldrich HA contained highly surfactive domains while Catlin soil possessed a mostly carbohydrate-based structure. This work demonstrates that the chemical structure of humic materials in natural waters is directly linked to their surfactive ability to disperse CNT released into the environment.

Here, 142/156 (91%) isolates were correctly identified to the genus level and 115/156 (74%) were correctly identified to the species level. Only 9% were misidentified. This study shows that multilocus PCR/ESI-MS has the potential to be a useful technique for identifying a broad range of bacteria.

We have implemented a secant version of the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) method that requires far fewer model calls for local search than the PEST LM methodology. Efficiency studies on three distinct environmental model structures (HSPF, FASST, and GSSHA) show that we can find comparable local minima with 36–84% fewer model calls than a conventional model independent LM application. Using the secant LM method for local search, MICUT also supports global optimization through the use of a slightly modified version of a stochastic global search technique called Multi-Level Single Linkage [Rinnooy Kan, A.H.G., Timmer, G., 1987a. Stochastic global optimization methods, part I: clustering methods. Math. Program. 39, 27–56; Rinnooy Kan, A.H.G., Timmer, G., 1987b. Stochastic global optimization methods, part ii: multi level methods. Math. Program. 39, 57–78.]. Comparison studies with three environmental models suggest that the stochastic global optimization algorithm in MICUT is at least as, and sometimes more efficient and reliable than the global optimization algorithms available in PEST.

Studies have shown that urban and agricultural development cannot only harm species populations directly through habitat destruction, but also by destroying the corridors that connect habitat patches and populations within a metapopulation. Without these pathways, populations can encounter inbreeding depression and degeneration, which can increase death rates and lower rates of reproduction. This article describes the development and application of the FRAGGLE model, a spatial system dynamics model designed to calculate connectivity indices among populations. FRAGGLE can help planners and managers identify the relative contribution of populations associated with habitat patches to future populations in those patches, taking into account the importance of interstitial land to migration success. The model is applied to the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a threatened species whose southeastern U.S. distribution has diminished significantly within its native range due to agricultural and urban development over the last several decades. This model is parameterized with life history and movement traits of the gopher tortoise in order to simulate population demographics and spatial distribution within an area in west-central Georgia that supports a significant tortoise population. The implications of this simulation modeling effort are demonstrated using simple landscape representations and a hypothetical on land-use management scenario. Our findings show that development resulting in even limited habitat losses (10%) may lead to significant increases in fragmentation as measured by a loss in the rate of dispersions (31%) among area subpopulations.

In this study, we investigated a potential in situ biobarrier configuration designed to neutralize pH and remove nitrate and radionuclides from nitric acid-, U-, and Tc-contaminated groundwater for over 21 months. Ethanol additions to groundwater flowing through native sediment and crushed limestone effectively increased pH (from 4.7 to 6.9), promoted removal of 116 mM nitrate, increased sediment biomass, and immobilized 94% of total U. Increased groundwater pH and significant U removal was also observed in a control column that received no added ethanol. Sequential extraction and XANES analyses showed U in this sediment to be solid-associated U(VI), and EXAFS analysis results were consistent with uranyl orthophosphate (UO2)3(PO4)2·4H2O(s), which may control U solubility in this system. Ratios of respiratory ubiquinones to menaquinones and copies of dissimilatory nitrite reductase genes, nirS and nirK, were at least 1 order of magnitude greater in the ethanol-stimulated system compared to the control, indicating that ethanol addition promoted growth of a largely denitrifying microbial community. Sediment 16S rRNA gene clone libraries showed that Betaproteobacteria were dominant (89%) near the source of influent acidic groundwater, whereas members of Gamma- and Alphaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes increased along the flow path as pH increased and nitrate concentrations decreased, indicating spatial shifts in community composition as a function of pH and nitrate concentrations. Results of this study support the utility of biobarriers for treating acidic radionuclide- and nitrate-contaminated groundwater.

In this study, the effects of coagulation, pressure filtration and dual-media (gravity) filtration on the performance of the crumb rubber filtration were investigated. The removal efficiencies of turbidity, phytoplankton and zooplankton, and head loss development were monitored during the filtration process. The addition of a coagulant enhanced the removal efficiencies of all targeted matter, but resulted in substantial increase of head loss. Pressure filtration increased filtration rates to 220m3 h−1 m−2 for 8-h operation and improved the zooplankton removal. Dual-media (crumb rubber/sand) gravity filtration also improved the removal efficiencies of phytoplankton and zooplankton over mono-media gravity crumb rubber filtration. However, these filtration techniques alone did not meet the criteria for removing indigenous organisms from ballast water. A combination of filtration and disinfection is suggested for future studies.

Source reduction using thermal treatment was applied using electrical resistance heating. A total of about 5,800 kg of TCE-equivalent volatile organic compounds (VOCs; TCE and dichloroethene) was extracted during thermal treatment of the three zones selected for source reduction. Pretreatment groundwater TCE concentrations were measured up to 100 ppm. Posttreatment groundwater TCE concentrations within the treatment zones averaged less than 100 ppb. Posttreatment soil TCE concentrations decreased by over 96 percent compared to pretreatment soil concentrations. The overall contaminant flux from EGDY was reduced by an estimated 60 to 90 percent by the source reduction effort. The traditional and new techniques for site characterization and remediation performance monitoring applied at EGDY provide insight for installing, operating, monitoring, and assessing thermal treatment. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2009/03// VL - 74 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - M83 EP - M93 SN - 00221147 AB - High-pressure processing (HPP) can reduce or eliminate microorganisms of concern in food without deteriorating product quality; however, quality benefits must justify the substantial capital investment for the utilization of this technology. HPP is particularly a beneficial preservation technology for products damaged by thermal treatments or when product quality could be improved by reformulation to raise pH or eliminate chemical preservatives. The primary objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of HPP to protect premium ranch dressing (pH 4.4) from microbial spoilage and to assess changes in physical, chemical, and sensory attributes throughout the product's shelf life. In inoculated-packages studies, the efficacy of HPP was measured against ranch dressing spoilage organisms: Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus brevis, and Torulaspora delbrueckii. HPP treatment (600 MPa, 3 min) decreased population of P. acidilactici, the most pressure-resistant spoilage organism tested, by ≥ 6.4 log CFU/g. During a shelf-life study of edible product, treating ranch dressing at 600 MPa for 5 min effectively prevented microbial spoilage throughout the storage period (26 wk at 4 and 26 °C). The pH and emulsion stability of ranch dressing were not adversely influenced by HPP. Extended storage of HPP product for 16 to 26 wk at 26 °C resulted in a decrease in consumer acceptance and significant changes in color and organic acid profile (specifically, increased pyroglutamic acid). These changes were consistent with those expected during extended storage of commercially available products. HPP may be used to produce premium ranch dressing, with defined shelf-life and storage conditions, without significantly changing product attributes.

The goal of this study was to develop design guidance in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Time series of water depth at two locations on the levee crown and flow thickness at five locations on the landward-side slope were measured along with horizontal velocity near the landward edge of the crown. New equations are presented for average overtopping discharge, distribution of instantaneous discharge, and distribution of individual wave volumes. Equations are also given for mean flow thickness, RMS wave height, mean velocity, and velocity of the wave front down the landward-side slope.

Coastal zones in a military-operational environment are complex regions that include sea, land and air features that demand high-volume databases of extreme detail within relatively narrow geographic corridors. Static products in the form of analog maps at varying scales traditionally have been used by military commanders and their operational planners. The rapidly changing battlefield of 21st Century warfare, however, demands dynamic mapping solutions. Commercial geographic information system (GIS) software for military-specific applications is now being developed and employed with digital databases to provide customized digital maps of variable scale, content and symbolization tailored to unique demands of military units. Research conducted by the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science at the University of Georgia demonstrated the utility of GIS-based analysis and digital map creation when developing large-scale (1:10,000) products from littoral warfare databases. The methodology employed–selection of data sources (including high resolution commercial images and Lidar), establishment of analysis/modeling parameters, conduct of vehicle mobility analysis, development of models and generation of products (such as a continuous sea–land DEM and geo-visualization of changing shorelines with tidal levels)–is discussed. Based on observations and identified needs from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, and the Department of Defense, prototype GIS models for military operations in sea, land and air environments were created from multiple data sets of a study area at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Results of these models, along with methodologies for developing large-scale littoral warfare databases, aid the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in meeting littoral warfare analysis, modeling and map generation requirements for US military organizations.

The assessment is an important outcome of the Capstone DU Aerosol Study that established exposure ranges to personnel in armored combat vehicles perforated by DU munitions. The toxicity of DU is based on the toxicity of uranium and because uranium and DU are elementally the same, the distribution in the body and the chemical toxicities are the same. The study is also concerned that DU deposited in the body may increase cancer rates.

However, validation of models is lacking, even though models are already in use and the general idea is that each is a working model, developing over time with new ideas and information. We examined the HGM developed for western Tennessee using novel data collected from six stream systems, two channelized, two channelized and leveed, and two unchannelized. The western Tennessee HGM has the ability to differentiate altered and unaltered rivers based mainly on changes to hydrologic floodplain functions, although functional capacity index values were validated from independent measures. Effects of channelization were confounded in western Tennessee by other disturbances, channel recovery processes, and variability due to levee construction. Levees render the greatest change to floodplains as they disconnect the channel and floodplain system, decreasing water tables and possible exchanges. One of the main factors controlling productivity along channels without levees was sedimentation. We recommend that estimated rates of sedimentation be incorporated into an updated version of the HGM. Variability of human alterations and natural floodplain heterogeneity suggest landscape factors (e.g., beta diversity, degree of ponding) and use of gradient indices may result in greater resolution for determining functional capacity of low gradient, riverine systems.

Three samples of concrete made by the same formulation, but differing in age and alkalinity were used. The sulfur mustard eventually degraded to thiodiglycol and 1,4-oxathiane via the intermediate sulfonium ions CH-TG, H-TG, H-2TG and O(CH2CH2)2S+CH2CH2OH on all of the concrete samples, and in addition formed 8–31% vinyl moieties on the newer, more alkaline concrete samples. This is the first observation of the formation of O(CH2CH2)2S+CH2CH2OH on a solid substrate. The addition of 2-chloroethanol to concrete on which mustard had fully degraded to thiodiglycol and 1,4-oxathiane resulted in the formation of O(CH2CH2)2S+CH2CH2OH, thus demonstrating the reversibility of sulfur mustard degradation pathways. The sulfur mustard degradation half-lives on ambient concrete at 22°C ranged from 3.5 to 54 weeks. When the substrates were moistened, the degradation half-lives at 22°C ranged from 75 to 350h. The degradation of sulfur mustard occurred more quickly at elevated temperatures and with added water. The non-volatile toxic sulfonium ions persisted for months to years on concrete at 22°C and weeks to months on concrete at 35°C, before decomposing to the relatively non-toxic compounds thiodiglycol and 1,4-oxathiane.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2009/02//2/1/2009 VL - 43 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 783 EP - 789 SN - 0013936X AB - United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) set opacity standards for visual emissions from industrial sources to protect ambient air quality. USEPA developed Method 9, which is a reference method to describe how plume opacity can be quantified by human observers during daytime conditions. However, it would be beneficial to determine plume opacity with digital still cameras (DSCs) to provide graphical records of the plume and its environment during visual emission evaluation and to be able to determine plume opacity with DSCs during nighttime conditions. Digital optical method (DOM) was developed to quantify plume opacity from photographs that were provided by a DSC during daytime. Past daytime field campaigns have demonstrated that DOM provided opacity readings that met Method 9 certification requirements. In this paper, the principles and methodology of DOM to quantify plume opacity during nighttime are described. Also, results are described from a nighttime-field campaign that occurred at Springfield, IL Opacity readings provided by DOM were compared with the opacity values obtained with the reference in-stack transmissometer of the smoke generator. The average opacity errors were 2.3-3.5% for contrast model of DOM for all levels of plume opacity. The average opacity errors were 2.0-7.6% for the transmission model of DOM for plumes with opacity 0-50%. These results are encouraging and indicate that DOM has the potential to quantify plume opacity during nighttime.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 75 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 39 EP - 44 SN - 00992240 AB - The ability to reliably and reproducibly sample surfaces contaminated with a biological agent is a critical step in measuring the extent of contamination and determining if decontamination steps have been successful. The recovery operations following the 2001 attacks with Bacillus anthracis spores were complicated by the fact that no standard sample collection format or decontamination procedures were established. Recovery efficiencies traditionally have been calculated based upon biological agents which were applied to test surfaces in a liquid format and then allowed to dry prior to sampling tests, which may not be best suited for a real-world event with aerosolized biological agents. In order to ascertain if differences existed between air-dried liquid deposition and biological spores which were allowed to settle on a surface in a dried format, a study was undertaken to determine if differences existed in surface sampling recovery efficiencies for four representative surfaces. Studies were then undertaken to compare sampling efficiencies between liquid spore deposition and aerosolized spores which were allowed to gradually settle under gravity on four different test coupon types. Tests with both types of deposition compared efficiencies of four unique swabbing materials applied to four surfaces with various surface properties. Our studies demonstrate that recovery of liquid-deposited spores differs significantly from recovery of dry aerosol-deposited spores in most instances. Whether the recovery of liquid-deposited spores is overexaggerated or underrepresented with respect to that of aerosol-deposited spores depends upon the surface material being tested.

A total of 38 individuals enrolled in the study had subsequent serological confirmation of HFRS. Four of the 38 individuals received three or fewer doses of ribavirin and were excluded from treatment analysis. Of the remaining 34 individuals, oliguria was present in one individual at treatment initiation; none of the remaining 33 subjects developed oliguria or required dialysis. The mean peak serum creatinine was 3.46mg/dl and occurred on day 2 of ribavirin therapy. Both the peak serum creatinine and the onset of polyuria occurred on mean day 6.8 of illness. Reversible hemolytic anemia was the main adverse event of ribavirin, with a ≥25% decrease in hematocrit observed in 26/34 (76.5%) individuals. While inability to adjust for all baseline variables prevents comparison to historical cohorts in Korea where oliguria has been reported in 39–69% cases and dialysis required in approximately 40% HFRS cases caused by Hantaan virus, the occurrence of 3% oliguria and 0% dialysis requirement in the treatment cohort is supportive of a previous placebo-controlled HFRS trial in China where IV ribavirin given early resulted in decreased occurrence of oliguria and decreased severity of renal insufficiency.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/02// VL - 29 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 422 EP - 429 SN - 07307268 AB - Nano-aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is used commercially in coatings and abrasives. Nano-Al2O3 can also be generated through the oxidation of nano-aluminum in military propellants and energetics. The purpose of the present study was to assess toxicity and bioaccumulation of nano-Al2O3 to a variety of sediment organisms (Tubifex tubifex, Hyalella azteca, Lumbriculus variegatus, and Corbicula fluminea). The bioaccumulation and toxicity of nano-Al2O3 was compared with that of micron-sized Al2O3 to investigate potential size-related effects. Results of the present study show species-specific differences in relative bioaccumulation of nano and micron-sized Al2O3. Significant toxic effects (survival and growth) were observed in H. azteca testing, but only at high concentrations unlikely to be found in the environment. Nano-Al2O3 was found to be more toxic than micron-sized Al2O3 to H. azteca survival in a 14-d study in which organisms were in direct contact with a thin layer of 625 or 2,500 mg of Al2O3 dispersed on the surface of either sediment or sand. A significant growth effect was also observed for nano but not micron-sized Al2O3 at the highest treatment level tested (100 g/kg Al2O3) in a 10-d H. azteca bioassay in which Al2O3 was homogenized with sediment. However, differences in measured sediment Al concentrations (micron-sized = 55.1 [±0.6] g/kg Al; nano-sized = 66.2 [±0.6] g/kg Al) in the nano and micron-sized Al2O3 preclude direct comparison of the toxicity of these two treatments based on particle size.

We highlight some inherent problems in this process and suggest possible solutions on the basis of the hydrogeomorphic classification of rivers. We suggest this link can be useful in fair asset trading (mitigation and offsets), selection of sites for rehabilitation, cost-benefit decisions on incremental steps in restoring ecological functions, and general protection of rivers.

JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 82 SN - 15513777 AB - To meet London Protocol requirements, South Korea is preparing to reduce the need for disposal of dredged material at sea. The new requirements controlling ocean disposal of dredged material pose significant challenges to the South Korean government, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material is no longer permitted. Hence, other alternatives for treating and disposing of contaminated dredged material are being evaluated and selected for implementation. A new management and decision approach is therefore needed for regulators and implementers to show what information and what decision-making processes were used to make the decision, to increase administrative transparency for such projects in the public domain. To address this need, an iterative approach was developed for dredged material management that includes the essential elements of process, people, and tools needed for successful environmental decision making. The approach has 6 steps: problem definition, developing objectives and criteria, identifying alternatives, performing the evaluation, comparing alternatives, and selecting the preferred alternative. The primary objective of the approach is to provide a systematic means of exploring contaminated dredged material management alternatives in South Korea using criteria that integrate risk with economic and stakeholder value information. The approach incorporates the desired decision-making attributes of transparency, comparative analysis, and inclusion of public input. Although it was developed for South Korea, the approach can be applied in any situation in which dredged material management alternatives are being considered to manage contaminated sediment risks.

JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 71 SN - 15513777 AB - Many years of untreated effluent discharge from residential areas, a shipyard, a marina, and a large fish market resulted in substantial contamination of bottom sediment in Southern Busan Harbor, South Korea. Contaminants in these sediments include heavy metals and organic compounds. Newly introduced regulations for ocean disposal of dredged material in South Korea pose significant challenges, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material was no longer possible after August 2008. The South Korean government has mandated that such sediments be assessed in a way that identifies the most appropriate dredged material management alternative, addressing environmental, social, and cost objectives. An approach using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) in combination with comparative risk assessment was used as a systematic and transparent framework for prioritizing several dredged sediment management alternatives. We illustrate how MCDA can recognize the multiple goals of contaminated sediment management. Values used in weighting decision criteria were derived from surveys of stakeholders who were sediment management professionals, business owners, or government decision makers. The results of the analysis showed that land reclamation was the preferred alternative among cement-lock, sediment washing, 3 contained aquatic disposal alternatives (one in combination with a hopper dredge), geotextile tubes, solidification, and land reclamation after solidification treatment. Land reclamation was the preferred alternative, which performed well across all MCDA objectives, because of the availability of a near-shore confined disposal facility within a reasonable distance from the dredging area.

JO - Journal of Water Resources Planning & Management JF - Journal of Water Resources Planning & Management Y1 - 2009/11//Nov/Dec2009 VL - 135 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 440 EP - 450 SN - 07339496 AB - Anticipated future temperature changes in the mountainous U.S. Pacific Northwest will cause reduced spring snow pack, earlier melt, earlier spring peak flow and lower summer flow in transient rain-snow and snowmelt dominant river basins. In the context of managed flood control, these systematic changes are likely to disrupt the balance between flood control and reservoir refill in existing reservoir systems. To adapt to these hydrologic changes, refill timing and evacuation requirements for flood control need to be modified. This work poses a significant systems engineering problem, especially for large, multiobjective water systems. An existing optimization/simulation procedure is refined for rebalancing flood control and refill objectives for the Columbia River Basin for anticipated global warming. To calibrate the optimization model for the 20th century flow, the objective function is tuned to reproduce the current reliability of reservoir refill, while providing comparable levels of flood control to those produced by current flood control practices. After the optimization model is calibrated using the 20th century flow the same objective function is used to develop flood control curves for a global warming scenario which assumes an approximately 2°C increase in air temperature. Robust decreases in system storage deficits are simulated for the climate change scenario when optimized flood rule curves replace the current flood control curves, without increasing monthly flood risks.

T1 - ACCUMULATION OF HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRINITRO-1,3,5-TRIAZINE BY THE EARTHWORM EISENIA ANDREI IN A SANDY LOAM SOIL. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 28 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2125 EP - 2133 SN - 07307268 AB - The heterocyclic polynitramine hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a highly energetic compound found as a soil contaminant at some defense installations. Although RDX is not lethal to soil invertebrates at concentrations up to 10,000 mg/kg, it decreases earthworm cocoon formation and juvenile production at environmentally relevant concentrations found at contaminated sites. Very little is known about the uptake of RDX in earthworms and the potential risks for food-chain transfer of RDX in the environment. Toxicokinetic studies were conducted to quantify the bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) using adult earthworms (Eisenia andrei) exposed for up to 14 d to sublethal concentrations of nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX in a Sassafras sandy loam soil. High-performance liquid chromatography of acetonitrile extracts of tissue and soil samples indicated that nonlabeled RDX can be accumulated by the earthworm in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The BAF, expressed as the earthworm tissue to soil concentration ratio, decreased from 6.7 to 0.1 when the nominal soil RDX concentrations were increased from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. Tissue concentrations were comparable in earthworms exposed to nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX. The RDX bioaccumulation also was estimated using the kinetically derived model (BAFK), based on the ratio of the uptake to elimination rate constants. The established BAFK of 3.6 for [14C]RDX uptake was Consistent with the results for nonlabeled RDX. Radioactivity also was present in the tissue residues of [14C]RDX-exposed earthworms following acetonitrile extraction, suggesting the formation of nonextractable [14C]RDX metabolites associated with tissue macromolecules. These findings demonstrated a net accumulation of RDX in the earthworm and the potential for food-chain transfer of RDX to higher-trophic-level receptors.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 28 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1930 EP - 1938 SN - 07307268 AB - Knowledge gaps in nanomaterial fate and toxicity currently limit the ability of risk assessments to characterize the environmental implications of nanomaterials. This problem is further complicated by the lack of standardized characterization and preparation methodologies for researchers to gain the needed information to assist risk assessors. In the present study, data were generated to determine if multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) fate and toxicity are altered by engineered surface modifications or by different dispersal methods. While dissolved organic matter was a good dispersing agent of MWNTs in water, the humic acid fraction was a more effective dispersant than the fulvic acid fraction. When stabilized in organic matter, the functional group attached to the MWNT controlled its toxicity. Underivatized MWNTs induced relatively moderate toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia after 96 h (25 ± 19% survival at 26 mg/L), while hydrophilic groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl) reduced this toxicity (93 ± 12% survival at 48 mg/L). However, other functional groups (alkyl, amine) increased toxicity (0 ± 0% survival at <15 mg/L). In dispersal method studies, sonication of MWNTs increased fragmentation relative to magnetic stirring. The sonication treatment of MWNTs also slightly reduced the mortality of C. dubia in the water column but increased toxicity in the sediment to Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca. Findings in the present study indicate that nanotubes engineered for specific applications need to be managed independently and that laboratory methods to disperse and test nanotubes in bioassays need to be standardized to obtain repeatable results for comparison of materials.

Accordingly, the US Department of Defense (DoD) supported this study to evaluate QSAR modeling for energetic compounds. Four compounds proposed to replace ammonium perchlorate were examined: ammonium di(nitramido)amine (ADNA); 1,3,5,5-tetranitrohexahydropyrimidine (DNNC); 1,3,3,5,7,7-hexanitro-1,5-diazacyclooctane (HCO); and diammonium di(nitramido)dinitroethylene (ADNDNE). Currently used compounds were evaluated as analogues for those under development. Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) was the analogue for ADNA; hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) for DNNC; octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) for HCO; and 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) for ADNDNE. QSAR analysis was performed with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite™. The comparison of model estimates to literature values ranged from good-to-poor. Results suggested the proposed replacement compounds have low aquatic toxicities and little potential to bioaccummulate, but the uncertainty in the predictions indicates QSAR modeling with EPI Suite™ is only useful for qualitative assessments of these proposed energetic compounds.

Mortality occurred at a rates of 100, 67, and 25% for the 17, 12, and 8 mg/kg/d dose groups, respectively. Death was preceded by clonic and tonic convulsions and weight loss caused by gastrointestinal effects. Increases in serum globulin and total leukocytes were observed in the two highest-dose groups. Degeneration of testicular and splenic tissue also was observed. The no-observed-adverse-effects and lowestobserved-adverse-effects levels were determined as 3.0 and 8.0 mg/kg/d, respectively.

Toxicity from RDX suggested the neurological system as the critical target tissue. A 14-d subacute study followed with males dosed orally with RDX (corn oil) at 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 mg/kg/d. Signs of toxicity frequently included a characteristic body posture. A significant dose-survival relationship was seen over the range of doses, with a significant decrease in survival at 20 mg/kg/d. Males in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 8, and 11 mg/ kg/d, and signs of toxicity included lethargy, cachexia, and anorexia. Survival was decreased at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Reduced growth rate and food consumption occurred at 5 mg/kg/d. Brain tissue was assayed for RDX when seizures were observed at a residue concentration of at least 18 μg/g. No abnormalities were observed in the hematologic indices, whereas plasma proteins were reduced. Hepatic enlargement and decreased testes mass occurred at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Plasma testosterone concentrations, sperm counts, and motility measures were variable for all treatment levels. Based on survival, growth rate, food intake, and testes to brain weight ratios, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 5 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 2.5 mg/ kg/d.

Survivors of EVD donated plasma anywhere from 2 months to 6 months or more after they had recovered. Substantial immune activation and robust B-cell and T-cell responses have been observed in patients with acute EVD and in some patients during convalescence,(2) although humoral response has not been thoroughly studied in EVD.

Although these solutions are successful in the model, implementing them in the field can be difficult because of uncertainties in airflow scaling. This study uses field and laboratory data to test theoretical relationships between airflow from the diffuser and the resulting near-surface water velocity. In the experiments, water velocities were measured adjacent to bubbler plumes for depths ranging from 0.52 to 6.5 m and airflow rates ranging from 0.015 to 0.68 standard cubic meters per minute/meter. The observed vertical and horizontal water velocity data compared moderately well to theoretical curves based on the equations of Kobus and Ashton. In addition, a reasonably linear relationship was found between the average velocity of the horizontal, near-surface flow field V and unit airflow from the diffuser Qa.

A recent research program has studied the in situ mechanical properties of the annual ice in Antarctica to support the development of physically based models of the breakup process. As part of this effort, two field trips were conducted to McMurdo Sound, and the present paper describes the experimental work and presents selected results. The in situ experiments investigated the constitutive and fracture behavior of edge-notched, square plate specimens of first-year ice and involved a detailed characterization of the physical properties and thermal state of the ice. Acoustic emissions, which are generated by microcracking, were monitored in the crack tip vicinity and provide insight regarding the size of the process zone. The paper describes the physical properties and microstructure of the sheet, the cyclic-loading response, and the acoustic emissions activity from an extensive series of experiments conducted on one of the in situ specimens. Varying the cyclic-loading frequency and amplitude provided a means to examine rate effects on the anelastic and viscous components of strain and the extent of microcracking near the crack tip. The viscous deformation rate estimated from the experiments exhibited an increasing power-law exponent with values between one and three. Acoustic emissions monitoring indicated that microcracking occurred in a process zone near the crack tip, and the size of the process zone increased with decreasing cyclic loading frequency. Practical aspects of the experiments are considered, and the results are put into context with the overall modeling goals of the project.

Conformal transformation and the complex function method are used to obtain the stress distribution in the matrix at the interior boundary. The stress field in the rectangular inclusion is derived by solving for two important variables characterizing the expanded equilibrium boundary determined by the principle of minimum strain energy. The compressive stress acting on the long side of the rectangular inclusion acts as a crack driving force., The model is used to predict the occurrence of cracking due to volumetric expansion of ice in a specific composite, EXTREN, that has been observed in experiments. The model can be adapted to predict fatigue life of composites under freeze-thaw conditions.

The imperative to retrieve a fallen comrade's body from the field regardless of tactical cost also suggests the preeminence of the dead over the living. As the Homerian epic Iliad progresses, the reason for fighting fades before the more immediate need to repossess bodies left behind. The retrieval and burial of the dead was as important to the historical Greeks as it was to the warriors of the Iliad, and in order to bury its dead the defeated force would ask for a truce from the victors, who controlled the battlefield.

Workload correlates positively with performance, whereas role overload does not. For the military, the concept of work overload is particularly relevant because of the heightened levels of operations tempo across three military environments: garrison, training, and deployment. This study surveyed 695 military personnel in all 3 environments and compared work overload reports with archived and self-report measures of performance. In general, results revealed that workload correlated positively with performance, whereas role overload was not correlated with performance. There was also some evidence of a moderating effect of military environment on the work overload–performance relation. The implication for treating the 2 components of workload and role overload as distinct and assessing the role of the work context are discussed.

This study addressed these inconsistent findings by including different operational definitions of retention, assessing whether the relation between OPTEMPO and turnover is curvilinear, and examining the impact of subjective perceptions of OPTEMPO on turnover. U.S. soldiers stationed in Europe were surveyed (N = 288) and interviewed (n = 177). Career intentions closely matched actual retention behavior as measured in archival records. Both perceptions of role overload related to OPTEMPO and workload measures of OPTEMPO were linked with career decision. Role overload related to work hours was associated with turnover, whereas a workload measure was not. Number of temporary duty (TDY) days was found to be curvilinear in relation to retention. Qualitative data identified similar reasons for turnover and retention across rank groups, but the way in which these reasons were processed differed by rank. Future research needs to consider rank, work context, definitions, and perceptions of OPTEMPO, as well as the influence of TDY days on turnover decisions.

This study focused on the role of wellness behaviors, specifically physical exercise and sleep, in moderating this impact. The study hypothesized that both sleep and exercise would moderate the impact of work hours on health; it also examined the role of alcohol use as a moderator. U.S. soldiers (N = 1,422) were surveyed on a range of topics related to well-being and workload. Multiple regression results partially supported the hypotheses. Physical exercise was a significant moderator of work hours for both psychological and physical health outcomes, whereas sleep moderated only psychological health outcomes. Low alcohol use moderated the impact of work hours on physical symptoms but only when work hours were short. This article discusses the use of wellness behaviors as a strategy for coping with workload and the need for understanding the role of alcohol use during periods of relatively low workload.

A sample of 116 aviators-in-training enrolled in the Army's Initial Entry Rotary Wing aviator course at Fort Rucker, Alabama, participated in the study. Despite the occupational paradigm for each type of aviator (e.g., commissioned officers will typically focus on administrative and leadership skills, whereas warrant officers will typically specialize on individual piloting skills) and current Army policies focused on warrant officer aviator retention (e.g., additional monetary compensation), it was hypothesized that the aviators would not significantly differ with respect to these variables. A multivariate analysis of variance indicated that commissioned officer and warrant officer aviators did not significantly differ with respect to motivational orientation, preferences for future flight experience, and expectations of future flight experience. Hierarchical regression models were then developed to determine the relative importance of gender, officer type, and motivational orientation toward the prediction of preferences for and expectations of future flight experience. Motivational orientation contributed significantly to the prediction of preferences, whereas officer type contributed significantly to the prediction of expectations of future flight experience. Implications of these findings with respect to retention and job satisfaction, as well as methodological limitations of the study and future research directions, are reported.

We discuss a toolkit of designs for simulators with limited DOE expertise who want to select a design and an appropriate analysis for their experiments. Furthermore, we provide a research agenda listing problems in the design of simulation experiments—as opposed to real-world experiments—that require more investigation. We consider three types of practical problems: (1) developing a basic understanding of a particular simulation model or system, (2) finding robust decisions or policies as opposed to so-called optimal solutions, and (3) comparing the merits of various decisions or policies. Our discussion emphasizes aspects that are typical for simulation, such as having many more factors than in real-world experiments, and the sequential nature of the data collection. Because the same problem type may be addressed through different design types, we discuss quality attributes of designs, such as the ease of design construction, the flexibility for analysis, and efficiency considerations. Moreover, the selection of the design type depends on the metamodel (response surface) that the analysts tentatively assume; for example, complicated metamodels require more simulation runs. We present several procedures to validate the metamodel estimated from a specific design, and we summarize a case study illustrating several of our major themes. We conclude with a discussion of areas that merit more work to achieve the potential benefits—either via new research or incorporation into standard simulation or statistical packages.

It is imperative that health care organizations adopt some form of business strategy to manage the vast amount of information available. Two of the more popular strategies among health care organizations are the Balanced Scorecard and Total Quality Management. Which one of the strategies is best for an organization? The answer to this question is that it depends on the organization. This article provides the fundamentals of each strategy and contrasts their strengths and weaknesses, so that interested organizations can make informed decisions regarding the best strategy for each organization.

The purpose of this study was to assess senior military officers' concerns on various health topics, educational preferences for nutrition and health topics, eating habits, and barriers and motivators for eating healthfully and exercising regularly. The survey was completed by 52 resident students at the U.S. Army War College. Fitness, weight, and blood cholesterol were top health concerns, and respondents wanted to know more about eating healthfully on the run. The primary barrier to eating healthfully and exercising regularly was lack of time, whereas health and appearance were top motivators. Health interventions for this population should include their topics of concern and should address perceived barriers and motivators.

Soldiers testing the CFP formulations were members of one of four U.S. Army infantry companies (A, B, C, or D]. The formulations were evaluated while soldiers participated in simulated combat exercises for 5 days during hot, humid summer weather in Korea. Results showed that soldiers found both of the new formulations easier to apply (91.3% of respondents who used CFP without DEET and 87.9% of respondents who used CFP with DEET) and remove (82.6% without DEET and 81.2% with DEET) than the previous standard military-issue CFP. Soldier acceptability was higher for the new CFP formulation with 30% DEET (70.5%) than for the formulation without 30% DEET (52.9%). Soldiers recommended it more frequently (70.5%) than the formulation without 30% DEET (50.0%). The new CFP formulation with 30% DEET was rated more often (79.5%) as either good or excellent than the new formulation without 30% DEET (67.4%). Soldiers reported that the CFP formulation with 30% DEET more successfully camouflaged the face (92.7%) than the formulation without 30% DEET (80.0%).

Methods: An OHT was self-applied by 26 subjects, to maximal tolerable tightness, to the proximal and or thigh under different conditions and positions, and the presence of blood flow was assessed using Doppler ultrasonography or occlusion plethysmography. Results: Doppler sound was eliminated at the radial artery for all subjects with OHT application but was not stopped at the popliteal or dorsalis pedis artery for any subjects. The OHT reduced forearm blood flow by 79% but decreased leg blood flow by only ∼50%. regardless of condition and position of application to the thigh. Conclusions: The OHT appears to effectively minimize blood flow in the arm but not in the lower extremities, and clinical assessment of blood flow disappearance by Doppler ultrasonography may underestimate the magnitude of actual blood flow to the limb.

However, a great deal of confusion exists among soldiers, medics, and military medical officers on a number of tourniquet-related issues. What is an appropriate combat tourniquet? When is it appropriate to use a tourniquet? When and by whom should a tourniquet be removed? Under what conditions should a tourniquet not be released or removed? What are the most effective ways to increase limb salvage while using a tourniquet? These and other issues were addressed by a panel of experts at the 2003 Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care Conference, August 21 and 23, 2003, St. Pete Beach, Florida.

The viral hemorrhagic fever viruses display a great deal of diversity in their genetic organization, vectors for transmission, and geographic distribution. They share common features in being able to induce a great deal of cellular damage and to elicit an immune response among humans that can result in severe hemorrhage, coagulopathy, shock, and death. The characteristics of the viral hemorrhagic fever viruses as arthropod-borne or rodent-borne viruses that can result in human illnesses with high morbidity and mortality rates make these viruses a unique threat, historically, currently, and in the future, to deployed soldiers around the world. In response to this threat, U.S. military scientists have been world leaders in the development of knowledge on the viral hemorrhagic fever viruses, from extensive fieldwork in areas in which these viruses are endemic, outbreak investigations of epidemics, and careful clinical studies elucidating the pathogenesis of severe disease. Defining the disease threat and creating practical countermeasures through the development of drugs and vaccines has been the major mission of military scientists and has resulted in numerous candidate vaccines currently in animal and human clinical trials.

Average patient satisfaction levels consistently appeared to be high (between 6, very satisfied, and 7, completely satisfied, on the 7-point rating scale). Hierarchical regression results essentially replicated all three major constructs of an earlier theoretical attitude model. Refinements included adjustment and addition of categorical age and military beneficiary status for individual patient variables, addition of two beliefs about the care itself, substitution of waiting time variables, and addition of reason for visit situation variables. Hypothesis test results indicated that patient satisfaction constructs were homogeneous across the uniformed services for patients from all service branches, both enrolled and not enrolled within TRICARE regions, and among branch of service medical center, hospital, and clinic facilities. The final attitude model coefficient of multiple determinations obtained was R²= 0.701 [F(25,154,867) = 14.539.33, p < 0.0001].

Methods: Quality indicators for processes and outcomes of care were obtained from a computerized system-wide database by patient administration and utilization management personnel unaware of this study and without connection to or interests in guideline implementation. These indicators were compared before and after guideline implementation. Results: After the asthma CPG, nebulizer treatments, emergency department visits, and admissions decreased significantly (p < 0.001 for all three) and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Periodic measurements of lung function and controller medication prescriptions were unchanged. After the diabetes mellitus CPG, microalbumin screens and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor prescriptions and yearly foot examinations decreased significantly, along with the percentage of patients with blood pressure of ≥ 130/85 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Mean hemoglobin A1C levels did not change significantly. After the tobacco cessation CPG, screening and education increased significantly (p < 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: The asthma CPG improved some processes and all outcomes. The diabetes CPG improved two of the eight measured processes but had no effect on outcomes. Education and screening, but not counseling, improved with the tobacco CPG. CPGs appear to improve diagnostic and educational processes more than provider-dependent treatment processes. Outcomes were improved after implementation of the asthma CPG but not after the diabetes CPG.

The U.S. Navy Safety Center data showed that the average Navy military eye injury mishap caused a loss of 5.9 days from work, at a cost averaging $4,222. The Air Force Safety Center data revealed that the average Air Force eye injury mishap caused a loss of 4.7 days from work, at a cost averaging $3,196. Comparing safety center data with Defense Medical Surveillance System data exposed an under-reporting of safety center data by at least 250%. To improve accurate meaningful data collection, an automated eye injury collection system should be initiated.

Methods: Inpatient trauma cases from Army hospitals world-wide from October 1988 through April 2001 were analyzed. Facilities included 3 Certified Trauma Centers (CTCs), 7 non-CTC Army Medical Centers, and 42 Army Community Hospitals. Logistic regression identified mortality risk factors. Results: Overall, the Army treated 166.124 trauma cases, with a mortality rate of 0.8% (trend of 0.66% to 1.18% in fiscal years 1989-2000, p < 0.0001). The number of Army hospitals decreased by 44% and the number of trauma cases decreased by nearly 75%. Injury severity, patient age. hospital trauma volume, beneficiary category, hospital type, and a resource intensity measure were all significantly associated with the probability of death. Conclusions: The overall trauma mortality rate at Army hospitals during the study period was lower than that reported for civilian trauma centers. However, changes in patient profiles, increased average severity, and decreased trauma volume might have contributed to a 13% increase in mortality rates at CTCs.

The article compares peacetime health care systems within the Department of Defense and the formulary systems developed and used within the fixed facility environment with Department of Defense contingency health care operations systems and the complications encountered while attempting formulary development for the deployed environment. Despite great difficulties, the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board developed, published, and marketed a jointly approved, standardized, modernized formulary to assist forces deploying for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The process used by the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board during formulary development is described in detail, giving readers an understanding of the foundations of the Joint Deployment Formulary. The military departments will experience the benefits of enhanced supply chain predictability and responsiveness, increased clinician satisfaction, and improved patient safety and health care quality by implementing the Joint Deployment Formulary for their forces engaged in contingency operations.

Level 1, FMS 2000. Thermal Angel, and Ranger, were compared to evaluate their potential for medical use in forward military echelons of care. Lactated Ringer's solution (LR) and Hextend at room temperature (20°C) or refrigerated temperature (4-7°C and packed red blood cells at 4°C to 7° were used with each warmer at two different flow rates. The FMS 2000 consistently warmed all fluids to approximately 37°C. regardless of the starting temperature or flow rate. The Level 1 and Ranger also efficiently warmed all fluids except cold LR to approximately 37°. The Thermal Angel generally warmed room temperature fluid, cold Hextend, and packed red blood cells to at least 33°C to 34°C but could not warm cold LR. The clinical standard is to have fluids warmed to 32°C at a minimum and more preferably to 34°C to 35°C. Of the fluid warmers tested, only the Thermal Angel failed to achieve such a temperature in warming cold LR. Data from the present study suggest the Ranger and FMS 2000 to be operationally adaptable to at least echelons 1 and 2, respectively, whereas far-forward use of the Thermal Angel has limitations.

Methods: We designed a customized survey instrument because no preexisting, validated, survey instrument was available. A query was performed in the Medical Operations Data System to identify all captains (0-3) currently on active duty in the Army (N = 348). The survey sample included 64 junior officers with a 2000 date of rank to captain (0-3), of whom only 52 were in the Medical Command Outlook address book or the Army Knowledge Online white pages. The questionnaire was sent out to these targeted junior dental officers through their official e-mail accounts. Dentists assigned to Korea and to dental field units do not use the same e-mail system as the rest of the Dental Command: therefore, their addresses were not available. In an attempt to increase response rates, commanders were asked to emphasize the importance of responding to the questionnaire. Results: From the sample population of 52 officers who were queried directly, 34 responses were received, for a response rate of 65%. However, commanders forwarded the survey to all Dental Command captains and 102 responses were received. The respondents represented 30% of the total Army inventory of captains; 92% of respondents reported that they had dental school loans, with 43% reporting loans in excess of $50,000. The average dental school indebtedness was approximately $60,700. More than 60% of all respondents reported that loan repayment could change their minds about remaining on active duty. Officers not included in the original sample rated the impact of loan repayment statistically higher than did officers in the original sample. Conclusions: The findings were that the majority of junior Army dental officers had significant student loans and many of these officers indicated that they would consider remaining on...

Thirty-five male soldiers were randomly assigned to one of four training groups: total body resistance training plus endurance training (RT + ET). upper body resistance training plus endurance training (UB + ET). RT only, and ET only. Training was performed 4 days per week for 12 weeks. Testing occurred before and after the 12-week training regimen. All groups significantly improved push-up performance, whereas only the RT - ET group did not improve sit-up performance. The groups that included ET significantly decreased 2-mile run time, however, only RT - ET and UB + ET showed improved loaded 2-mile run time. Leg power increased for groups that included lower body strengthening exercises (RT and RT + ET). Army Physical Fitness Test performance, loaded running, and leg power responded positively to training, however, it appears there is a high degree of specificity when concurrent training regimens are implemented.

American National Standard Methods for the Measuring Real-Ear Attenuation of Hearing Protectors, American National Standards Institute, New York]. Six hearing protection devices (two earmuffs, foam, premolded, custom-molded earplugs, and canal-caps) were tested in six laboratories using the experimenter-supervised, Method A, and (naïve) subject-fit, Method B, protocols with 24 subjects per laboratory. Within-subject, between-subject, and between-laboratory standard deviations were determined for individual frequencies and A-weighted attenuations. The differences for the within-subject standard deviations were not statistically significant between Methods A and B. Using between-subject standard deviations from Method A, 3–12 subjects would be required to identify 6-dB differences between attenuation distributions. Whereas using between-subject standard deviations from Method B, 5–19 subjects would be required to identify 6-dB differences in attenuation distributions of a product tested within the same laboratory. However, the between-laboratory standard deviations for Method B were -0.1 to 3.0 dB less than the Method A results. These differences resulted in considerably more subjects being required to identify statistically significant differences between laboratories for Method A (12–132 subjects) than for Method B (9–28 subjects).

This vibration is mostly linear, but also includes a small nonlinear deviation. The main goal of this paper is to introduce a method of processing that uses phase-inversion to observe nonlinear effects in a wide frequency band. The method extracts a nonlinear part of surface velocity from two similar broadcast signals of opposite sign by summing and canceling the linear components and leaving the nonlinear components. This phase-inversion method is combined with time reversal focusing to provide increased seismic vibration and enhance the nonlinear effect. The experiments used six loudspeakers in a wood box placed over sand in which inert landmines were buried. The nonlinear surface velocity of the sand with a mine compared to the sand without a mine was greater as compared to a linear technique.

Consequently, the evidence indicating a convergence of primary aspects of the two roles presages an important societal development, with substantial implications on several levels. Thus, this article has several objectives. First, it reviews the evidence indicating role convergence, that is, evidence that significant segments of police operations in the United States have taken on military characteristics; and evidence indicating that many U.S. military initiatives have taken on policing characteristics. Next, using the notion of internal and external role-change "drivers," it examines how such role shifts occur and considers some political and legal implications of the shift. Third, the article compares the role orientations and job demands of both professions, identifying the important differences inherent in the two roles and presenting an analysis of the occupational implications of role convergence for job holders, job evaluators, and job "clients" (i.e., ordinary citizens). The last section considers the implications of role convergence for role management.

It explores why today Poles and Ukrainians coexist peacefully in southeast Poland, despite a bloody civil war in the 1940s. The case study suggests that a dynamic system of alliance, guided by cross-cutting cleavages and cross-cutting social networks, provides for negative feedback mechanisms that contribute to resilience to violent ethnic conflict at the community level. Although the ethnic cleft has increasingly been bridged, the ethnic cleavage remains a source of structural vulnerability.

The so-called Heringen Collection came from Nazi Germany. The German Army captured many of these items from libraries, offices, and even private homes as it advanced into neighboring countries. In the last days of the war, these documents and other records were sent from Berlin to the safety of a mineshaft in Heringen, Hessen, Germany. A group of US Army soldiers found the records, which dealt with the earth sciences, terrain analysis, military geology, and other geological matters. They were sent to the USGS and eventually came to reside at the USGS Library. The printed papers and books were mostly incorporated into the main collection, but a portion of the materials have never been cataloged, calendared, or indexed.

Its etiology is unclear, although it has been associated with both cell and humoral mediated autoimmune mechanisms. The disease causes ascending paralysis and loss of cranial nerve function. Manifestations may be acute or chronic, and temporary or permanent, depending on the degree of neuronal destruction. Because of GBSs pervasive nature, health care is a challenge. Patient care focuses on risks related to ineffective airway clearance and impaired mobility. Psychosocial care and patient education are also integral components of care.

Currently, a lack of evidence exists for the effective conservative management of CECS. Altering running mechanics by adopting forefoot running as opposed to heel striking may assist in the treatment of CECS, specifically with anterior compartment symptoms. Case Description: The purpose of this case series is to describe the outcomes for subjects with CECS through a systematic conservative treatment model focused on forefoot running. Subject one was a 21 y/o female with a 4 year history of CECS and subject two was a 21 y/o male, 7 months status-post two-compartment right leg fasciotomy with a return of symptoms and a new onset of symptoms on the contralateral side. Outcome: Both subjects modified their running technique over a period of six weeks. Kinematic and kinetic analysis revealed increased step rate while step length, impulse, and peak vertical ground reaction forces decreased. In addition, leg intracompartmental pressures decreased from pre-training to posttraining. Within 6 weeks of intervention subjects increased their running distance and speed absent of symptoms of CECS. Follow-up questionnaires were completed by the subjects at 7 months following intervention; subject one reported running distances up to 12.87 km pain-free and subject two reported running 6.44 km pain-free consistently 3 times a week. Discussion: This case series describes a potentially beneficial conservative management approach to CECS in the form of forefoot running instruction. Further research in this area is warranted to further explore the benefits of adopting a forefoot running technique for CECS as well as other musculoskeletal overuse complaints.

Research shows that social context also plays an integral role in decision-making processes. In particular, evidence suggests that implicit or non-conscious cognitions are linked to social information in memory and that implicit attitudes can be communicated and assimilated between people on an unconscious level. This study assesses social contagion of implicit cognitions regarding alcohol and marijuana among high school friend networks. Data are from an evidence-based drug education program delivered by either a health educator or by nominated class leaders over a 3-month period. Implicit attitudes were found to be susceptible to social influences, particularly for alcohol. Surprisingly, social contagion was stronger for cognitions than for behaviors. In addition, results support prior research that has found that implicit attitudes are not entirely stable and may be more susceptible to change than are behaviors. Public health initiatives to engender behavioral change could be facilitated by targeting flexible cognitive associations within existing social network structures.

This study explores whether similar gender differences in the effect of body weight exist in what Cawley et al. (2006) labeled 'the adolescent sex market'. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we use fixed effects and instrumental variables identification strategies to estimate the relationship between body weight and sexual activity. We find evidence that increased body weight lowers the probability that female adolescents become sexually active. In contrast, there is little evidence of a causal relationship between body weight and sexual activity for male adolescents.

METHODS: Injuries were obtained from an injury surveillance system. A health questionnaire provided data on age, race, rank, current self-reported injury and illness, and tobacco use. Fitness data was obtained from operations office. RESULTS: Cumulative time-loss injury incidence was 31% for men and 54% for women. For men, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, smoking before entering the Army, lower sit-up performance, and slower 2-mile run times. For women, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, and slower 2-mile run times. CONCLUSION: Smoking cessation and fitness training before entry are potential strategies to reduce injuries among soldiers in the Ordnance School.

METHODS: Discarded tourniquet devices were analyzed after use in emergency care of war casualties to determine wear and tear patterns, effectiveness rates, and associations among device designs. RESULTS: The 159 devices recovered comprised seven designs. Emergency & Military Tourniquet (92%) and Combat Application Tourniquet (79%) effectiveness rates were significantly different from each other and better than other tourniquets (p < 0.002) as the most effective ambulance and field tourniquets, respectively. Designs had specific pitfalls (e.g., sand-clogged ratchets) and strengths (the pneumatic design was least painful). Every device had wear, abrasions, or deformity about the band edges or bladder. User understanding of how devices work best helped attain better results. Some desirable traits (e.g., one-handed application, use for entrapped limbs) were rarely needed. Tourniquets fit casualty limbs well. CONCLUSIONS: Correct user actions (e.g., following the instructions to remove slack before twisting) led to device effectiveness, but misuse did not. Users often assumed that optimal use required more force, but this was associated with misuse. Training should include tourniquet pearls and pitfalls.

A great deal of discussion relates to the delivery of care through a growing military-civilian partnership, where an increased amount of health care will be referred to an ever growing network of civilian providers. The U.S. military establishment now stands at an important crossroad leading into the future of dependent care. However, the special concerns, which arise from the responsibility of caring for military dependents, are not a solely recent phenomenon. Ever since the establishment of a permanent standing U.S. Army in the late 1700s, there have been families in need of medical treatment. Although changes occurred continuously, the development and evolution of policies regulating the delivery of medical care to dependants can be divided into three periods. The first is the longest and ranges from the establishment of the Army until the year 1900. The second period spans from 1900 to the post-Korean War year of 1956. The third and final period is from 1956 to 1975. Special changes and advances in each of these periods have served to shape the face of dependent care in today's Army Medical Department.

In addition, a training-induced change in the relationship between muscular strength and endurance was assessed by testing changes in the accuracy of using endurance repetitions to predict 1 repetition maximum (1RM) bench press before and after training. College-aged men (n = 85) and women (n = 62) completed a 12-week linear periodization resistance training program. Before and after training, the subjects were assessed for 1RM and repetitions to fatigue (RTFs) with a submaximal load. After pretraining 1RM determination, the subjects were randomly assigned to perform RTFs at 65% 1RM (n = 74) or 90% 1RM (n = 73). Pretraining and posttraining RTFs were conducted at the same respective %1RM. Work capacity was determined from repetition weight × RTF. After training, there was a significant increase in 1RM in both men (~14%) and women (~23%). Posttraining RTF was not different from pretraining RTF at 65 %1RM (18.2 ± 5.1 and 19.0 ± 6.0, respectively) but was significantly reduced in the 90% 1RM group (6.1 ± 3.6 vs. 4.5 ± 2.7, respectively). Likewise, there was a differential effect of training on the expression of work capacity, which increased in the 65 %1RM group (123 ± 155 kg-reps) but decreased in the 90% 1RM group (-62 ± 208 kg-reps); the effect was independent of gender within each testing group. In conclusion, the changes in muscular strength associated with resistance training produced an increase in work capacity when tested with a 65 %1RM load without a change in endurance. In contrast, both work capacity and endurance decreased when tested with 90% 1RM. Thus, the impact of strength training on work capacity and muscle endurance is specific to the load at which endurance testing is performed.

These approaches require manual titration of fluid that may result in human error during this process and lead to suboptimal outcomes. The goal of this study was to analyze the efficacy of a computerized open-loop decision support system for burn resuscitation compared to historical controls. DESIGN: : Fluid infusion rates and urinary output from 39 severely burned patients with >20% total body surface area burns were recorded upon admission (Model group). A fluid-response model based on these data was developed and incorporated into a computerized open-loop algorithm and computer decision support system. The computer decision support system was used to resuscitate 32 subsequent patients with severe burns (computer decision support system group) and compared with the Model group. SETTING: : Burn intensive care unit of a metropolitan Level 1 Trauma center. PATIENTS: : Acute burn patients with >20% total body surface area requiring active fluid resuscitation during the initial 24 to 48 hours after burn. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: : We found no significant difference between the Model and computer decision support system groups in age, total body surface area, or injury mechanism. Total crystalloid volume during the first 48 hrs post burn, total crystalloid intensive care unit volume, and initial 24-hr crystalloid intensive care unit volume were all lower in the computer decision support system group. Infused volume per kilogram body weight (mL/kg) and per percentage burn (mL/kg/total body surface area) were also lower for the computer decision support system group. The number of patients who met hourly urinary output goals was higher in the computer decision support system group. CONCLUSIONS: : Implementation of a computer decision support system for burn resuscitation in the intensive care unit resulted in improved fluid management of severely burned patients. All measures of crystalloid fluid volume were reduced while patients were maintained within urinary output targets a higher percentage of the time. The addition of computer decision support system technology improved patient care.

Current research is limited to body region affected by the injury. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal diagnoses and mechanisms of injury (MOI) as well as associations to specific Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in a deployed Brigade Combat Team (BCT). METHODS: Data collected on 3,066 patient encounters by the Brigade Combat Team physical therapist over 15 months were analyzed using descriptive statistics and X2 tests. RESULTS: Mechanical low back pain was the most common diagnosis (19%), whereas overuse was the most prevalent MOI (22%). The Infantry MOS was significantly associated with meniscal tears and pre-existing injuries, the Maintenance MOS with contusions, Signal and Transportation MOSs with weight lifting injuries, and the Administrative MOS with running injuries. CONCLUSION: Different MOSs are preferentially susceptible to different diagnoses and MOIs. Therefore, different injury prevention strategies may be needed across occupations.

Deployment of U.S. Forces overseas and Joint Service operations have increased, and large numbers of troops are currently deployed for long periods of time. Concerns of adverse health effects from environmental exposures, similar to the concerns about exposures to oil well fires in Gulf War I, continue to occur today. Although progress has been made in developing Joint Service policies for training and conducting environmental sampling, the military doctrine that drives this training and allows for the purchase of updated sampling equipment has been slow to respond to changes, thus resulting in conflicts between current technology and assets available in the field. The military needs to remain flexible to new technology and new requirements, and must standardize doctrine and training across the services, and acquire standardized, state-of-the-art sampling equipment to improve field assets.

However, environmental samples collected for undefined or poorly defined reasons and that are not part of a feasible strategy of hazard identification, intervention, and follow-up will likely be of limited value. Military commanders and their advisors must be aware of the need to quickly identify potential hazards and to respond appropriately with a comprehensive plan that may include sampling. Before samples are collected, the following must be adequately addressed: (1) the reason for sampling, (2) the parameters to be measured, (3) the possible range of results that might be obtained, and (4) the actions that will be taken in response to various results. Additionally, communication of the risks to commanders and the potentially exposed population is important, particularly if the results are inconclusive.

Health effects possibly associated with these exposures were cause for concern among service members, veterans, and military and civilian leaders. A need for the military to effectively respond to these exposures, and more importantly, to assess and mitigate exposures before deployments and to conduct environmental surveillance during deployments was identified. The Department of Defense encountered many obstacles in dealing with the exposures of 1991. Even though these obstacles were being identified, and in some cases, addressed, responses to historical exposure concerns continued to be reactive. In 1996, efforts were intensified to improve policy and doctrine, field sampling equipment, risk assessment processes, geographic information systems, and other tools needed to effectively identify and reduce the impact of exposures before troops deploy and to conduct environmental surveillance while deployed. Success in these efforts resulted in a comprehensive, planned approach being implemented to address environmental health concerns during the 1999 Kosovo deployment.

To check these new and important results, we continued critical evaluation of tourniquet use for 6 more months in the current study to see if results were consistent. METHODS: We continued a prospective survey of casualties and their records at a combat support hospital in Baghdad who had tourniquets used at a combat hospital in Baghdad (NCT00517166 at ClinicalTrials.gov). RESULTS: After comparable methods were verified for both the first and current studies, we report the results of 499 patients who had 862 tourniquets applied on 651 limbs. The clinical results were consistent. No limbs were lost from tourniquet use. CONCLUSION: We found that morbidity was minor in light of major survival benefits consistent with prior reports.

AB - Abstract: Background: Footwear characteristics can influence, fatigue, comfort, injuries and energy cost. Members of the United States Army Band have hundreds of performances a year and these performances often include prolonged standing and marching in footwear. Objective: The purposes of this paper are to: (1) determine injury rates before and after wearing a shoe with presumed greater cushioning and ventilation among US Army Band members, and (2) identify risk factors associated with foot pain/discomfort. Methods: To potentially reduce injuries and improve comfort, 112 band members received shoes with an advertised increase in cushioning and ventilation. Results: Injury incidence determined from medical records was 55% in the year before and 57% in the year during which band members wore the new shoes (p =0.78). Higher risk of foot pain was associated with band unit (odds ratio (ORCeremonial unit/other units =8.6), 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2–60.2), shoe cushioning rating (ORpoor/good =11.8, 95% CI: 1.5–89.7), orthotic use (ORyes/no =18.5, 95% CI: 2.9–120.3), and how often band members replaced their shoes (OR≤1 year/>2 years =11.5, 95% CI: 1.4–95.4). Conclusions: The new shoes did not lower injury incidence, although specific risk factors associated with foot pain/discomfort were identified. To potentially increase the cushioning and comfort, insoles may be considered.

Use of lung-protective strategies may complicate patient management, motivating a search for better lung-replacement approaches. We investigated the ability of a novel extracorporeal venovenous CO2 removal device to reduce minute ventilation while maintaining normocarbia. DESIGN: : Prospective animal study. SETTING: : Government laboratory animal intensive care unit. SUBJECTS: : Seven sedated swine. INTERVENTIONS: : Tracheostomy, volume-controlled mechanical ventilation, and 72 hrs of round-the-clock intensive care unit care. A 15-F dual-lumen catheter was inserted in the external jugular vein and connected to the Hemolung, an extracorporeal pump-driven venovenous CO2 removal device. Minute ventilation was reduced, and normocarbia (Paco2 35-45 mm Hg) maintained. Heparinization was maintained at an activated clotting time of 150-180 secs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: : Minute ventilation (L/min), CO2 removal by Hemolung (mL/min), Hemolung blood flow, O2 consumption (mL/min), CO2 production by the lung (mL/min), Paco2, and plasma-free hemoglobin (g/dL) were measured at baseline (where applicable), 2 hrs after device insertion, and every 6 hrs thereafter. Minute ventilation was reduced from 5.6 L/min at baseline to 2.6 L/min 2 hrs after device insertion and was maintained at 3 L/min until the end of the study. CO2 removal by Hemolung remained steady over 72 hrs, averaging 72 ± 1.2 mL/min at blood flows of 447 ± 5 mL/min. After insertion, O2 consumption did not change; CO2 production by the lung decreased by 50% and stayed at that level (p < .001). As the arterial PCO2 rose or fell, so did CO2 removal by Hemolung. Plasma-free hemoglobin did not change. CONCLUSIONS: : Venovenous CO2 removal enabled a 50% reduction in minute ventilation while maintaining normocarbia and may be an effective lung-protective adjunct to mechanical ventilation.

Positioning and splinting are crucial components of a comprehensive burn rehabilitation program that emphasizes contracture prevention. The emphasis of these devices throughout the phases of rehabilitation fluctuates to meet the changing needs of patients with burn injury. Early, effective, and consistent use of positioning devices and splints is recommended for successful management of burn scar contracture.

Existing literature does not provide a systematic foundation for equations considered and often engineers and geologists typically do not properly consider the mathematical constraints placed on the problem of sediment budget construction. The present technical note presents a simple methodology for assessing sediment budget, i.e. what is possible, and what is not possible via a matrix equation system and linear algebra. It is hoped that engineers and geologists will not impose unrealistic expectations on the sediment budget system via using such an approach. Some simple examples are given of both pitfalls and correct approaches to sediment budget development.

The purpose of the session was to share information on both programmatic and technical aspects associated with emerging contaminants. Emerging contaminants are chemicals or materials that are characterized by a perceived or real threat to human health or environment, a lack of published health standards or an evolving standard. A contaminant may also be “emerging” because of the discovery of a new source, a new pathway to humans, or a new detection method or technology. The session included five speakers representing the Department of Defense (DoD), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and each of the military services. The DoD created the Emerging Contaminant Directorate to proactively address environmental, health, and safety concerns associated with emerging contaminants. This session described the scan–watch–action list process, impact assessment methodology, and integrated risk management concept that DoD has implemented to manage emerging contaminants. EPA presented emerging trends in health risk assessment. Researchers made technical presentations on the status of some emerging contaminates in the assessment process (i.e. manganese, RDX, and naphthalene).

Baseline testing included a subjective history of instability, instability testing by a sports medicine fellowship–trained orthopaedic surgeon, range of motion, strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer, and bilateral noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. A musculoskeletal radiologist measured glenoid version, height, depth, rotator interval (RI) height, RI width, RI area, and RI index. Participants were followed to document all acute posterior shoulder instability events during the 4-year follow-up period. The time to the posterior shoulder instability event during the follow-up period was the primary outcome of interest. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the data.Results:Complete data on 714 participants were obtained. During the 4-year surveillance period, 46 shoulders sustained documented glenohumeral instability events, of which only 7 were posterior in direction. The baseline factors that were associated with subsequent posterior instability during follow-up were increased glenoid retroversion (P < .0001), increased external rotation strength in adduction (P = .029) and at 45° of abduction (P = .015), and increased internal rotation strength in adduction (P = .038).Conclusion:This is the largest known prospective study to follow healthy participants in the development of posterior shoulder instability. Posterior instability represents 10% of all instability events. The most significant risk factor was increased glenoid retroversion. While increased internal/external strength was also associated with subsequent instability, it is unclear whether these strength differences are causative or reactive to the difference in glenoid anatomy. This work confirms that increased glenoid retroversion is a significant prospective risk factor for posterior instability.

This paper relies on panel data funded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies. Beach choices of respondents were combined with beach attribute data to reveal how changes in width affect choice and the economic value of beach visits. We use a random-utility approach to show that the value of beach width varies for different types of beach uses: water contact, sand-, and pavement-based activities. We also find that the marginal value of beach width depends on initial beach width.

The lower mass and improved high temperature performance of ceramics over traditional gun steels could produce new barrels with improved service life and lower weight while enabling the use of new propellants. Several different ceramics have been researched into which material would best survive the interior ballistic conditions for a variety of different caliber systems. The candidate materials are commercially available monolithic ceramics. Alumina, zirconia, three silicon carbide compositions, two silicon nitride compositions, and a SiAlON material were initially selected. A coupled approach of modeling and experimental verification led to the downselection of the silicon nitride and SiAlON materials as the most capable of surviving the interior ballistic conditions and functioning as a barrel liner. This paper describes the tests, presents the results, and discusses the reasons for these selections.

It shows how to address security early in the project life cycle and its impacts on the capital facility delivery process. Three dimensions of security for capital projects are examined—physical, personnel, and information—and linked to the key concepts of threats, consequences, and vulnerability assessment. A select set of industry best practices provides the basis for integrating security into the project delivery process. This selection includes six best practices: (1) preproject planning; (2) alignment; (3) design effectiveness; (4) constructability; (5) materials management; and (6) planning for start-up. The article outlines the methodology for updating best practices to include security. It includes a brief description of each practice and documents the key updates for incorporating security-related considerations into the practice. Security implications for the project delivery process are provided as well as recommendations to industry.

SN - 10949313 AB - We developed a technique to observe and characterize a novice real-time-strategy (RTS) player's mental model as it shifts with experience. We then tested this technique using an offthe- shelf RTS game, EA Games Generals. Norman defined mental models as, "an internal representation of a target system that provides predictive and explanatory power to the operator." In the case of RTS games, the operator is the player and the target system is expressed by the relationships within the game. We studied five novice participants in laboratorycontrolled conditions playing a RTS game. They played Command and Conquer Generals for 2 h per day over the course of 5 days. A mental model analysis was generated using player dissimilarity-ratings of the game's artificial intelligence (AI) agents analyzed using multidimensional scaling (MDS) statistical methods. We hypothesized that novices would begin with an impoverished model based on the visible physical characteristics of the game system. As they gained experience and insight, their mental models would shift and accommodate the functional characteristics of the AI agents. We found that all five of the novice participants began with the predicted physical-based mental model. However, while their models did qualitatively shift with experience, they did not necessarily change to the predicted functional- based model. This research presents an opportunity for the design of games that are guided by shifts in a player's mental model as opposed to the typical progression through successive performance levels.

Previous metrics were based on mapping a class's semantic information onto concepts in an application domain knowledge base. Quality measurements were made by operating on the concepts mapped onto. In this work, we consider more complex inter-concept relationships—semantic disambiguities through semantic connections. The idea is that a level of ambiguity is indicated by the connectivity within the knowledge base between two concepts. A cohesion metric based on this idea is shown to perform as well as traditional metrics, and is available much earlier in the development cycle.

Depending on the complexity and distribution of projects, the time required to prepare for production consumes a large percentage of the total time required to complete the job. Increasing crews’ productive hours is a key objective when planning multiproject schedules. Existing methods, however, lack the effective means to explicitly model, analyze, and optimize resource utilization for these multiple concurrent projects. As a result, few facility managers fully exploit the potential to better manage their often limited budget and resources. This paper presents an explicit model of the mobilization requirements of multiple crews performing a variety of different activities over a geographic space. The model allows the facility manager to explicitly investigate the impact of crew composition, crew specialization, and depot locations. Using work rule decisions regarding alternative crew allocations, facility managers may dynamically allocate resources to optimize resources and to complete projects in a minimum amount of time. To verify and validate this new model, a computerized system, called FIRS (Facility/Infrastructure Resource Scheduler), was created to analyze the multiproject resource plans with data from two military organizations and a university campus. FIRS utilizes a new genetic algorithm that was developed specifically to work with multiproject scheduling. Using FIRS, facility managers can develop and test alternative crew allocations based on the qualifications of the crews available and the type of operation being performed.

In these experiments, thickness of the densified foundation layer was systematically increased, resulting in a comprehensive set of dam-foundation response data. Herein, Class-A and Class-B numerical simulations of these experiments are conducted using a two-phase (solid and fluid) fully coupled finite element code. This code incorporates a plasticity-based soil stress–strain model with the modeling parameters partially calibrated based on earlier studies. The physical and numerical models both indicate reduced deformations and increased crest accelerations with the increase in densified layer thickness. Overall, the differences between the computed and recorded dam displacements are under 50%. At most locations, the computed excess pore pressure and acceleration match the recorded counterparts reasonably well. Based on this study, directions for further improvement of the numerical model are suggested.

Wall behavior can be grouped into three modes of failure, which correspond to three ranges of blast pressures. Computational results were compared to high-speed video images and debris velocities obtained from experimental data. A parametric analysis was conducted to determine the sensitivity of computed results to critical modeling values. It was found that the model has the ability to replicate experimental results with good agreement. However, it was also found that, without knowledge of actual material properties of the specific wall to be modeled, computational results are not reliable predictors of wall behavior.

Unconventional ice passage techniques such as manifolds in the miter gates were also evaluated. Physical model results were compared to field observations and to a parallel series of tests using the DynaRICE ice-hydraulic numerical model. The study focused on three general ice processes at locks: (1) ice accumulating near culvert intakes during lock filling; (2) drawing ice into the lock chamber; and (3) flushing ice out of the lock. Ice accumulation thickness in the upper lock approach was found to be the most important parameter affecting ice passage into the lock chamber. Physical and numerical model results compared reasonably well, proving DynaRICE to be a useful tool for assessing ice passage for new lock designs.

Some 26 million of the Russian Federation's 148 million citizens are not Russian, and an equal number of ethnic Russians live beyond the Russian Federation's borders. Herein lies a potentially explosive situation that directly affects U.S. strategic security concerns. This article attempts to evaluate the potential for ethnic conflict in Russia as both a cause and an effect of a potentially paralyzing shock to the Russian political system that would have far-reaching consequences for U.S. strategic interests. It is informed that the official policy of the U.S. towards Russia is to promote the orderly and peaceful transition from communist dictatorship to a pluralistic democracy with a market-oriented economic system. Ethnic conflict in the Caucasus, the Volga-Ural region, or elsewhere could precipitate a crisis leading to paralysis of the Russian political system. In the event of heightened ethnic tension within the Russian Federation, there is very little that the U.S. could do, apart from gently counseling peaceful resolution. Any higher profile action would likely generate a Russian nationalist backlash.

This literature directs our attention toward organizational contexts and the timing of publication as promising factors bearing on cumulative scholarship outcomes. In this inquiry; based on 2,910 persons who received doctorates in sociology between 1972 and 1976, we isolate the importance of organizational context to explain the emergent and cumulative sex differences in publication outcomes. Our findings reveal that existing scholarship differences between males and females in this cohort occur within the first six years of the doctorate and continue throughout the career as a result of different employment patterns and publication trajectories. Notably, we find support for Robert Merton's contention that context structures the display of individual merit.

This assumption is predicated cn the view that departmental prestige is primarily a function of faculty scholarship. In this article, the association between prestige and scholarship is examined for the discipline of sociology using evaluative ratings from three national studies and objective data on publications. Scholarship is found to be far less important in determining prestige ratings than either the past reputations of departments or their affiliated universities. Publishing is not necessarily a straightforward means of securing a department prestige. Instead, past reputation reflective of an institutional context, rather than scholarly productivity, appears to be the critical property bearing on how departments are viewed.

Each National Guard unit must train at a station that is not farther than a Specified maximum travel distance from its armory. We address the problem of finding:bulletin the optimum locations for the home bases for the mobile trainers,bulletin the locations of secondary training sites to which the mobile trainers will travel to provide training, andbulletin the actual routes that the mobile trainers will take to cover all these secondary training sites.The aim is to allocate each National Guard unit to a training site within the maximum travel distance from its armory, while simultaneously minimizing the mobile trainer fleet mileage and the total distance traveled by all units.The problem is too large and complex to solve as a single model. We apply a heuristic decomposition strategy, to break the overall problem into manageable stages, developing suitable substitute objective functions for each. This approach led to a solution in which the mobile trainer fleet mileage is 72,850 miles per year: about 70% smaller than the 231,000 miles per year in the original Army's procurement plan. Our solution has been implemented (with minor modifications) by the Army.

SN - 0095327X AB - As part of an experimental unit, over five hundred active- and reserve-component (AC, RC) soldiers deployed to the Sinai Desert in 1995 on a peacekeeping mission. While most junior enlisted personnel were reservists, leadership positions were shared between components. Before their departure, most soldiers had high expectations regarding their ability to use a variety of communication media to reach their families. While their reported use of communication media was less than what they had expected, almost all soldiers did use the telephone or other means to communicate with home during their deployment. Contrary to our hypotheses, communication media use was not strongly related to rank or component (AC, RC), though junior enlisted personnel were somewhat less likely than other ranks to use some communication media. As expected, married soldiers were somewhat more likely to use telecommunications than unmarried soldiers. While all forms of communication media were deemed useful for conveying information, more interactive forms of communication (e.g., telephone) were preferred for communicating with family and friends, especially with respect to time-sensitive or other more difficult issues.

The collapse of authority structures in postmodern society has had visible effects on military organization in the country. A comprehensive research of public opinion finds that confidence in major institutions is in a pattern of decline that raises questions about the legitimacy of major social and political order. The research shows that people are now defining themselves, and their enemies, by their race, gender, ethnicity, or some other social characteristic.

The study was conducted by the Triangle Institute for Security Studies in the United States. In the study, researchers assess the impact of voting on officer professionalism and civil-military relations. The study findings suggest that military officers educate civilian leaders on the details of military issues and render their recommendations. The study shows that structural changes in the military over the past generation have reinforced the conservatism of the military.

The influence within the Army and Navy Reserve Officers Training program is also examined. The military attitudes about civilian culture and the aspects of military professionalism are said to be shaped by PME. PME also nurtures the civil-military relationships. Military academies try to create both the character and the intellect of their students. The attitudes and perspectives of military personnel could be explained by the socialization processes of military academies.

In terms of peacekeeping attitudes, most soldiers accepted and understood the basic norms of peacekeeping. Most of them consider it as an appropriate military mission though a sizeable number believes that the mission is appropriate for military police. Many soldiers reported, lower morale as the deployment increased.. Other factors other than number of deployments also contributed to low morale like living conditions, food quality, mail service, or leadership quality.

Several new models of conflict in future have been developed. Two theories which are popular in the defense establishment of the U.S. are "Clash of Civilization" by Samuel Huntington and "Third Wave" by Alvin Toffler and Heidi Toffler. According to the theory of Huntington, the major civilizations of the world would compete for political and military dominance in future conflicts. Tofflers believe that world community would be divided into three groups due to advancement of technology and would rival one another.

According to social researchers, the debate over U.S. civil-military relations took place on two levels, "power" and "ideology." The crux of the issue has been the compatibility of certain ideology with the ethics of armed forces. The approach taken in the post-Cold War academic literature, which primarily treats the issue of power under the rubric of "civilian control," has been discussed in detail.

The USMA defines its aim as to provide leaders of characteristic values who will serve the common defense and to achieve the goal successfully, it stresses on character development along with distinctive military values. The academic curriculum at the USMA has much in common with the rest of higher education in the country. Therefore it is likely that the changes in the values of cadets will be similar to those of students exposed to civilian higher education.

SN - 0095327X AB - Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has expanded its role in peacekeeplng operations around the world. However, budgetary pressures in the late 1980s led to a reduction, beginning in 1987, in the size of the active force that increased its dependency on reserve forces. This article presents an analysis of data on American soldiers in two different units, one reserve and one active duty, to determine the attitudes of soldiers in each unit toward peacekeeping norms of impartiality and the use of force, the role of the military in peacekeeping, and whether such missions are appropriate for their unit. Differences between reserve soldiers' responses from those of the active duty unit are discussed. In general, soldiers in both units accept most peacekeeping norms. Although both units felt that peacekeeping was not appropriate for their unit, soldiers in the reserve unit generally had more constabulary attitudes than those in the active duty unit. These findings suggest that members of the reserve components may be regarded as an appropriate source for peacekeeping personnel in the future.

The authors formulated three explanatory hypotheses for the study involving the blacks and white's and the younger and experienced staffs. In contrast to former studies that have found no racial disparity in terms of the sentence length, the researchers found a significant relationship between processing time and sentence length for blacks. The data for research were obtained from 5,989 courts-martial cases related to the United States Army Judiciary.

The findings also suggest that perceptions of greater financial gains by the RC soldiers influenced their intentions to stay in the RC until retirement. KW - UNITED States.

SN - 0095327X AB - The Bundeswehr was intentionally created in 1955 without the capability to exercise centralized operational control above the Army Corps, or at the joint, level. The reason for this situation was German and Allied anxiety over the recreation of a "Generalstab." With unification, Germany now requires the ability to employ the Bundeswehr in less than war operations, which, therefore, requires a modest national capability to direct operations outside of NATO wartime command structures, i.e., a "J-3." This article details the evolution in the development of the modest centralization of operational control structures in the German Ministry of Defense and within the three armed services themselves. Integral to understanding this slow and stilted evolution in the MoD and the Bundeswehr is the sensitivity that continues to overshadow many key aspects of civil-military relations in the Federal Republic of Germany.

SN - 0095327X AB - This article analyzes the economic, attitudinal, institutional, and affective variables involved in predicting reenlistment intentions of citizen soldiers, i.e., Select Reserve and National Guard, in the U.S. Army. Data from the 1986 U.S. Department of Defense's Reserve Components Survey, matched with Reserve Components Common Personnel Data System files for 1985 to 1991, are analyzed to estimate the probability of reenlistment. The estimates reveal that reenlistment probability increases with an increase in reserve earnings, preferably as these match or surpass civilian wage opportunities. The attitudinal and affective variables, such as a spouse's favorable attitude toward the reservist's reenlistment, or a reservist's satisfaction with military life, or his/her job satisfaction, also increase reenlistment intentions. Reenlistment probability is, however, reduced if the reservist's primary job requires 45 or more hours per week, if a reservist's spouse is working for pay, or if a reservist spends a smaller percentage of time in the Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) for which he/she is trained. Policy implications of these results are discussed in the context of increasing reenlistment.

Following Kohn's model of social structure and values, we hypothesized relationships between parental SES and cadet orientations toward self-direction and conformity. We found little support for the model. Rather, there seems to be an overwhelming degree of value consensus among cadets, which we believe is a function of self-selection and anticipatory socialization. This is manifested in an expressed admiration for conformity and an expressed dislike for independent action.

The post Cold War era witnessed an absence of identifiable and quantifiable threats which resulted in planning of new approaches for developing and justifying force structures by the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Though Australia did not design its force structure on the basis of such threats yet the Australian Department of Defence developed principles for guiding force development reflecting government strategy to defend that country.

Malaria battered allied forces, mostly the U.S. armed forces, in the early months of the war. Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum were the most common types of malaria to hit U.S. forces. Military and civilian scientists in the U.S. cooperated with each other and with allied scientists to check the disease in the second half of the war. Hundreds of malaria studies and thousands of new and effective antimalarial compounds were produced by these alliances.

The policy of relocation, called home-basing, is a shift from forward deployment of the military in Europe and a result of the Warsaw Pact. Home-basing that requires a greater stay at a location increases firm-specific training of employable military spouses as the recovery period projected by the firm is increased.

The article also provides the result of the research that investigates the concerns of the officers prior to downsizing. Those who stay are as likely to be affected by incentives and transition assistance as those who have to leave.

The basic methodology was secondary analysis of data collected by two independent survey research projects. One survey asked company commanders to state their priorities for achieving combat competence. The other solicited from subordinate members of the units commanded by those same officers their attitudes and perceptions about themselves, their leaders, and the unit. Results showed that almost all commanders put the highest priority on development of combat skills. Soldiers in units commanded by officers who also accorded high priority to human dimensions were more confident, committed and healthy.

One only has to consider certain categories of elite athletes, such as Olympic weight lifters and football defensive linemen, to recognize that the relationship may be more complex. While not typically concerned with elite athletic performance in the military services, we are concerned with a wide variety of occupational demands that do vary in their relationship to body fatness and other body composition components.

SN - 0095327X AB - The Army Reserve loses approximately 30 percent of its personnel annually. Most of these losses are junior enlisted who do not complete their initial service obligation. The purpose of this study was to develop and test several hypotheses regarding why junior enlisted leave the Army Reserve before the end of their current obligations. Three general models were tested: demographic-pecuniary; unit activities (e.g., unit leadership, training, and administration); and family and civilian employment conflicts with Army Reserve duties in combination with unit activities. Findings support the Army Reserve continuing to offer both pecuniary incentives for joining and remaining in the Army Reserve (i.e., enlistment bonuses and educational benefits) and unit activities that promote feelings of self-worth (e.g., belonging and importance to the unit through recognition and awards) and self-development (through training in military job and general soldiers' skills).

I seek the true form. Employing a Humean framework, I clarify the beliefs and their origins grounding five of our highly disparate forms of military honor: (1) Southern Honor (Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg); (2) Regimental Honor (British Lieutenant John Rouse Merriot Chard, 5 th Company Royal Engineers, and Acting Assistant Commissary James Dalton at Rorke's Drift, Zulu Wars, January 22-23, 1879); (3) National Honor (French Marshall Ferdinand Foch at the Marne, World War I, 8 September 1914); (4) Officer Honor (Israeli Nahum Arieli in Israel's War for Independence, 1948); and (5) Warrior 'Honor' (the unknown French and Algerian warriors at Chipyong-ni, South Korea, Korean War, 13-15 February 1951). I employ in my analysis four Humean insights derived from a close study of A Treatise of Human Nature and a little known essay by Hume, 'An Historical Essay on Chivalry and Modern Honour'. They are the Fundamental, the Temporal, the Level of Abstraction, and the Ultimate Insights. The conclusions suggest the following as a characterization of true military honor, a virtue best exemplified in practice by Robert E. Lee: 'Reliant on esteem for its past, warrior honor is a certain constancy, harmony and refinement of the natural virtues of greatness of mind and extended benevolence. Both virtues for the warrior are deeply rooted in and expressive of a common life for which he is prepared to die'.

It is also not certain whether objective data archived in organizational records are the"gold standard"metric they are often touted to be. This study compared self-report data obtained from active duty soldiers (N = 433) to their data maintained in organizational records. Performance measures included (a) demonstration of effort (i.e., number of military awards), (b) physical health and fitness (i.e., army physical fitness test score, number of sick call visits, duty restriction for health reasons), (c) soldiering proficiency (i.e., individual weapon qualification score), and (d) personal discipline (i.e., violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, cases of indebtedness, and substance abuse counseling referral). Slight to moderate concordance was found between all self-report and unit records of soldier performance. When there was a misclassification, the majority of soldier self-reports demonstrated positive bias for measures that were directly job related in the Army (e.g., M16 rifle qualification performance and physical fitness). However, there were also cases of negative bias for other aspects of performance (e.g., sick call, indebtedness, substance abuse referral). In general, results from previous research linking positive self-presentation with positive affect and job attitudes were not replicated. The role of errors in both archival records and self-reported data are discussed, along with implications for developing a gold standard method of collecting performance data.

Committed service member refers to a person who is strongly attached to his or her military service as an organization and to his or her unit as part of that organization. Organizational commitment is defined as a combination of three component processes, namely, affective commitment (AC), continuance commitment (CC) and normative commitment (NC). AC is the want to commitment. CC is the need to aspect of commitment. NC is the ought to commitment.

In this application, subject matter experts agreed on questionnaire items from a longitudinal database that fitMeyer and Allen's (1991) definitions of affective and continuance commitment. Questionnaires suitable for inclusion of these items and the original Meyer and Allen (1984) items were administered to a test sample of Army officers (N = 404). Analyses supported use of the selected items as analog scales of affective and continuance commitment in that both the selected and original items yielded similar factor structures and similar relations with officer rank and career intentions. Results for the analog items were replicated with another officer sample (N = 863). The contributions of the findings to the organizational commitment literature and research in the military are discussed.

The relation of these 2 abbreviated scales of organizational commitment to critical organizational outcomes was examined and tested. Results showed that affective and continuance commitment combined to influence subsequent soldier performance on job knowledge tests in oppositeways, suggesting a causal link between commitment and performance. Relations between affective and continuance commitment combinations and soldier-reported retention intentions, morale, and readiness were also explored. Scales developed to measure spouse commitment to the Army showed a factor structure that was comparable to that of soldiers and consistent with the dimensions of affective and continuance commitment.

Research on commitment within the hierarchical military structure may be particularly reflective of these perspectives. Affective commitment to 2 nested organizational units (Special Operations Forces and the military) was hypothesized to be distinguishable from each another and from military continuance commitment. Further, a model portraying the hypothesized relations between satisfaction and affective commitment for the 2 organizational units and career intentions was examined. Special Operations personnel (n = 3,968) from 3 service branches completed satisfaction and career intentions items in addition to modified versions (Gade, Tiggle, & Schumm, 2003/this issue) of the Meyer and Allen (1984) commitment scales. Results of the research supported the distinction between the commitment scales and provided support for the model. Implications for operational environments and future research are discussed.

Specifically, gender, ethnicity, branch of the Army, and perceptions of tokenism (e.g., isolation and stereotyping) were examined as antecedents of organizational commitment. Peer-rated leadership performance served as the outcome measure of affective (AC), continuance (CC), and normative commitment (NC). Findings indicated ethnic differences in AC and CC, gender differences in CC, and Army branch differences in AC and NC. Perceived tokenism was associated with lower levels of AC and NC and higher levels of CC. Finally, higher levels of AC and NC predicted higher leadership evaluations, whereas higher levels of CC were associated with lower leadership evaluations.

One hundred and eighty-four officers, representing 7 different geographical locations, were placed in blind test groups to discern the effect of a "good" and "bad" DA Photo in a mock military promotion board. The significant finding was that a DA Photo judged to be good by a panel of Army Personnel Command Officers did not predict an increase or decrease in a promotion board score; however, a DA Photo judged to be bad by the same panel of officers can be a predictor of a decrease in overall promotion board score.

Data on predictors of officer worry and parent contacts were collected from 277 senior ranking male officers (40 to 49 years old). A structural equation model of worry and parent contact among male officers showed that previous parental illness, parent's age, and the tendency among officers to have an angry temperament increased their worry. Conversely, number of siblings and satisfaction with a "parent care plan" decreased worry about parents. Number of siblings also decreased contact with parents. Quality of interpersonal relationships and branch of service (Army and Marine Corps) increased contacts with parents. This research underscores the importance of examining the invisible "anguish" of adult sons who are precluded from visiting their parents by distance or employment situations, lends quantitative support to previous qualitative findings, and indicates that satisfaction with a realistic parent care plan reduces worries about elderly parents.

Common defensive efforts include the following: omissions (blanks, incomplete responses), denial (negation), redundant responses (tautologies), flippant responses, responses about the test, and simple associations. These responses are reliably coded using exemplar ratings. Sentence completion test (SCT) verbal defensiveness is largely independent of verbal ability. Participants higher in verbal defensiveness are judged by psychologists as lower in suitability for high demand military missions and by peers as less desirable coworkers in a high stress military mission. SCT verbal defensiveness is higher among personnel who fail to complete an operational assessment and selection program. Two dimensions underlie common defensive efforts: inhibition and resistance. Neither factor is very extensively related to the "Big Five" personality dimensions.

This study, which examines a large cohort of U.S. Military Academy cadets over time, tests the influence of cognitive and personality variables on military leadership performance over a 4-year period. Hierarchical multiple regression procedures are used to identify factors at entry into the Academy that successfully predict military development grades as upperclassmen, 3 to 4 years later. A moderately stable cross-validated model reveals cognitive factors (college entrance scores, social judgment skills, and logical reasoning) and personality factors (agreeableness and conscientiousness) that contribute to later leader performance. A main effect for gender on leader performance was also identified, with women performing better than men. The amount of variance in leader performance scores accounted for by variables examined here, although modest, is notable considering the time interval involved. Nevertheless, future studies should explore additional factors, particularly personality ones, that may influence leader performance in developing leaders.

The potential to cause large numbers of serious casualties among deployed and deploying military forces and among civilian populations provides a stark reminder to medical planners of the limits of military and civilian medicine. However, medical countermeasures to these chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been, and continue to be, developed. These CWAs, their countermeasures, and their health care implications are described in the articles of this special issue. These articles suggest likely psychological, physiological, and neurological effects that will be encountered should these agents be employed against U.S. forces on the integrated battlefield or against homeland facilities. Also suggested are countermeasures that U.S. forces and medical teams may use to protect or treat our forces or citizens undergoing such CWA attacks. Knowledge of the behavioral effects of the CWAs and of their medical countermeasures is imperative to ensure that military and civilian medical and mental health organizations can deal with possible incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. This first study, in contrast to the remaining studies in this special issue, focuses on the psychological factors in chemical warfare and terrorism. It also serves as an overview of the remaining articles in this special issue.

In addition, several of the drugs used as pharmacological countermeasures to reverse the potentially life-threatening physiological effects of nerve agents themselves have potent effects on a variety of neurobehavioral functions. This article reviews the toxicological and neurobehavioral effects of exposure to nerve agents and their medical treatment compounds, giving particular emphasis to their impacts on performance and behavior, both immediate and long-term. As such, this review touches on a number of major related topics, primarily pharmacological and toxicological. Where possible, more in-depth discussions of these topics have been cited for the interested reader. The toxicology and pharmacology of the nerve agents and the respective medical treatment drugs are addressed separately, representing distinctly different pharmacological classes of compounds and producing distinctly different effects on the central nervous system and performance. Both animal and human data have been evaluated for this review. Although animal data provide a valuable adjunct to the human reports, the majority of studies cited here describe the effects of these compounds in humans. Where it was thought necessary for clarification or elaboration, animal studies have been cited, but these represent only a small subset of this vast literature.

To overcome these disadvantages, the use of bioscavengers has emerged as a new approach to reduce the in vivo toxicity of chemical warfare nerve agents. Bioscavengers fall into two broad categories: stoichiometric (i.e., proteins that bind a poison in some fixed ratio) and catalytic (i.e., proteins that can cause the breakdown of a molecule of a poison, regenerate, and then repeat the process until all of the poison molecules have been destroyed). To be an improvement of current treatments, a biological scavenger should have no or minimal behavioral or physiological side effects, should provide protection against one or more nerve agents up to 5 times the median lethal dose (5 LD[sub 50]), and should reduce or eliminate any behavioral or physiological side effects normally associated with the currently fielded therapy. Studies with equine or human butyrylcholinesterase or fetal bovine serum acetylcholinesterase show that none of these scavengers exhibit behavioral side effects when administered to rats or monkeys. These three scavengers as well as carboxylesterase are each capable of providing protection against 2 to 16 LD[sub 50]s of GD, GB, or VX depending on the scavenger and the test species (rat, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, or rhesus monkey). When behavioral testing was performed on animals pretreated with a bioscavenger and then administered up to 5 LD[sub 50]s of GD or VX, either no, or only very minor, transient deficits were reported. These results are in stark contrast to the prolonged (1 to 2 week) behavioral incapacitation experienced by animals pretreated with pyridostigmine and then exposed to the same dose of nerve agent followed by the standard atropine, oxime therapy with or without diazepam. Although several challenges still remain before bioscavengers could augment or replace the current therapeutic regimes for nerve agent intoxication, the results to date offer impressive evidence for the value of this approach as the next generation of pharmaceuticals to afford protection against nerve agent poisoning with a virtual absence of behavioral side effects.

CN is easy and inexpensive to produce and can be obtained from normal commercial trade. CN can act very rapidly (within seconds) to prevent the normal utilization of oxygen by tissues. Excitable tissues, for example, heart and brain, are particularly affected. Hypoxia, convulsions, heart arrhythmias, and death can follow. If exposed, it is best to leave the affected area rapidly. Treatments such as nitrite, which forms methemoglobin that binds CN, and thiosulfate, which converts CN to thiocyanate, act within an appropriate time but produce central nervous system side effects. This article examines the literature on the neurotoxicological and behavioral effects of CN and its treatments. Sites and mechanisms of actions involved in these effects are evaluated. Factors that significantly alter the action of CN and may influence morbidity and mortality are discussed.

This research used an assessment center and subsequent training program to investigate the hypothesis that interpersonal performance and motivation are two key dimensions of performance that may account for the historical strength of peer assessments. Consistent with previous research, results showed that peer rankings from the assessment center predicted final training outcomes better than did staff ratings. Congruent with our hypothesis, results from the training program demonstrated that, when rating a student's expected future on-the-job performance, peers placed significantly more importance on interpersonal performance and motivation than did staff, and they placed significantly less importance on task performance. Additional longitudinal research is needed to explicitly link peer evaluations of interpersonal skills and performance motivation with future job performance.

Flight data from 10 UH-60 pilots, who flew a helicopter simulator, and 10 pilots who flew an aircraft were pooled to assess the influence of the flight platform on Dexedrine(r) versus placebo effects in two 40-hr periods of sustained wakefulness. Overall, performance under Dexedrine(r) was better than performance under placebo, but consistent stimulant and fatigue effects were observed across both flight platforms less than one third of the time. Sensitivity was lower in the aircraft, likely because of differences due to environmental influences (weather, temperature, and turbulence) and other factors (radio traffic and, possibly, anxieties about safety). Thus, simulator studies, although desirable in terms of cost and safety, may overestimate the impact of stressors (e.g., fatigue) as well as the potential benefits from fatigue countermeasures (e.g., Dexedrine(r)). Conversely, in-flight studies may underestimate these types of performance effects. As a result, caution is advised when attempting to generalize findings from one flight platform to the other.

Transformational leadership was expected to augment the effects of transactional leadership on an array of unit outcomes and across organizational levels. In support of our hypotheses, transformational behavior was found to augment the effects of transactional behaviors on followers' job motivation and affective commitment, whereas transactional behaviors were associated with subordinates' calculative commitment. Results indicated that the unique effects of transformational leadership on subordinate job motivation increased as a function of leadership level. In addition, higher ranking officers were perceived as more transformational and less passive than were lower ranking officers. Theoretical and methodological implications of these findings for transformational leadership research are discussed.

The ACOMS data are unique because parents and children are linked, which allows researchers to analyze the influence of parental attitudes and behaviors on the enlistment decision independently of youth reports of their parents' attitudes. Results indicate that the youths' perceptions of parental attitudes toward the military and reported parental attitudes correlate at a low level (.14 to .22) showing that youth perceptions of parental attitudes cannot function as a proxy for actual parental attitudes. This may reflect a failure of parents to communicate clearly their attitudes or a failure of children to interpret them accurately. Results also indicate that (a) youth perceptions of parental attitudes predict stated enlistment propensity, which predicts military enlistment, and (b) reported parental attitudes predict military enlistment independently of youth-stated enlistment propensity. The analyses suggest that military enlistment might be enhanced through (a) fostering youth perceptions that competent parents have positive views of the military, (b) fostering positive parental attitudes by educating parents about military benefits and lifestyle, (c) using reports of positive parental attitudes as an indicator of their child's positive military enlistment propensity, and (d) actively involving parents in the enlistment process.

Motor vehicle fatality rates from 1980 to 1997 indicated both groups showed declines in fatality rates. The overall age-adjusted motor vehicle fatality rate for 17- to 44-year-old males in the Army fell from 40.8 to 20.6 per 100.000, a 49.5% decline, In the U.S. population, the rate dropped from 38.1 to 23.3 per 100.000 for a 38.8% decline. Deaths from motor vehicle crashes fell by almost 50% in the Army during the study period; however, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for the Army. U.S. military policies and law enforcement have the potential to make even further gains in reducing motor vehicle crashes and injuries among military personnel.

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of a pneumatic leg brace on return-to-activity and pain in soldiers with tibial stress fractures. Methods and Measures: Thirty-one subjects diagnosed with tibial stress fractures were randomly assigned to either a brace or control group. Dependent variables included time to pain-free single-leg hopping, visual analog pain scale, and time to a pain-free 1-mile run. Twenty subjects (10 brace. 10 control) completed a detailed functional progression culminating in a 1-mile run. Results: There was no difference between groups for time to pain-free hop (p>0.86; power = 0.43) and time to pain-free 1-mile run (p>0.24; power -0.92). Subjects in both groups experienced statistically significant improvements in pain measurements (p< 0.002). but no difference was found between groups (p> 0.93). Conclusion: The current study demonstrated no added benefit of Aircast leg braces in the treatment of tibial stress fractures in the military training environment.

Although sites and mechanisms of action and the pathologies caused by different chemical insults vary, common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes provide targets for MTMC drugs. This article will review the MTMC hypothesis for blister and nerve agents and will expand the scope of the concept to include other chemicals as well as briefly consider biological agents. The article will also consider how common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes that contribute to clinical pathologies and Syndromes may relate to the toxicity of threat agents. Discovery of MTMC provides the opportunity for the integration of diverse researchers and clinicians, and for the exploitation of cutting-edge technologies and drug discovery. The broad-spectrum nature of MTMC can augment military and civil defense to combat chemical warfare and chemical terrorism.

Exposure concerns during Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom deployments have increased interest in individual environmental and occupational chemical exposure assessment. Currently, deployment assessments are conducted using intermittent ambient air monitoring, occasional focused evaluations based on these results, and post deployment questionnaire documentation of exposure and/or health concerns. Although this strategy is an improvement over previous practice, it has limitations, including a reliance on evidence of an acute problem, to initiate in-depth health evaluation. Exposure biomarkers may have the potential to overcome some of the limitations of current environmental and occupational exposure assessment tools. This article examines current exposure assessment methods, reviews emerging technologies, and recommends a phased approach to introducing exposure biomarkers into a comprehensive occupational and environmental health surveillance program.

No studies were identified that used objective clinical data on complaints after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify all cardiopulmonary and psychological diagnoses among active duty personnel seeking care at a military treatment facility and/or its ancillary facilities before and after September 11, 2001. Methods: The study population included 40,981 active duty military personnel between August 13, 2001 and October 9, 2001 (4 weeks before and 4 weeks after September 11. 2001). Demographic and diagnostic data were obtained from the Composite Health Care System for each visit during the study period. The outcomes of interest were psychological and cardiopulmonary diagnoses. Results: There were 19.595 clinic visits before September 11, 2001 compared to 19.207 clinic visits in the 4 weeks after September 11. There was no increase in total psychological diagnoses in the postexposure period, compared with the preexposure period (risk ratio (RR). 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI|, 0.84-1.11). The only statistically significant finding was a decrease in diagnoses of psychoses (RR, 0.62: 95% confidence interval. 0.42-0.91). However, diagnoses of depressive disorders were increased in the postexposure period (RR, 1.61: 95% Cl, 0.89-2.90; p = 0.11). Total cardiopulmonary diagnoses did not increase in the postexposure period, compared with the preexposure period (RR, 0.96: 95% Cl, 0.91-1.02). Conclusions: This descriptive study failed to identify evidence that any changes in cardiopulmonary or mental health diagnoses were attributable to September 11 terrorist attacks. In the unfortunate event of another national tragedy, it is recommended that health care professionals administer a questionnaire to determine...

Previous research has shown that untreated oral conditions can result in increased rates of disease and nonbattle injury for deployed soldiers. The purpose of this study was to develop models for U.S. Army dental wellness and readiness using a multivariate regression analysis approach. Staffing levels and dental wellness and readiness rates were examined for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2002 at 40 Army installations. Full regression model equations were developed for percent dental wellness and readiness using location, time, dental provider types, and basic training installation as predictor variables. Both models were shown to be statistically significant, with wellness R2 = 0.37, F12,107 = 5.18. p < 0.001 and readiness R2 = 0.23, F12,107 = 2.65, p < 0.01. Further tests of specific predictor effects revealed that wellness was significantly associated with the specialties of general dentistry, hygienists, and oral surgery, and that readiness was significantly associated with region and the oral surgery specialty. Results may be useful for the U.S. Army to identify the best practices in an effort to optimize dental wellness and readiness.

During the first decade of this collaboration, studies have been carried out in the diverse disciplines that axe crucial to providing the foundations for efficacy trials of candidate HIV vaccines. Studies of host, pathogen, and vaccine interventions included studies of viral diversity, epidemiology, disease course, potential vaccine cohorts, and Phase I/II clinical trials. Collaborations were expanded to other Thai institutions and to overseas partners, resulting in the Thai AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Group. The efforts of these collaborations resulted in the development of candidate vaccines specifically designed for use in Thailand, and sequential evaluations that have lead to the threshold of the world's next and largest efficacy trial of vaccines.

Between January 3, 1998 and July 24, 2001, 4,258 trainees were assigned to the PTRP. Using a retrospective cohort study design, return to training and BCT graduation rates were evaluated. PTRP graduates were compared with matched non-PTRP graduates for 2-year retention in the Army. More PTRP women than men were discharged from the PTRP (60% and 48%, respectively, p < 0.01). Of PTRP trainees returning to BCT, 10% and 12% of men and women, respectively, were discharged from the Army compared with overall Fort Jackson discharge rates of 9% and 15% for men and women, respectively. Comparing PTRP graduates to matched non-PTRP graduates, there were no differences in 2-year retention for men (14.9% and 14.7%, respectively; p = 0.93) or women (26.6% and 30.1%, respectively; p = 0.19). Despite the high discharge rate in the PTRP, the BCT discharge rate for trainees who successfully rehabilitated was similar to the overall discharge rate at Fort Jackson. The 2-year retention in service for PTRP trainees who graduated from BCT was similar to that of non-PTRP trainees.

Research conducted by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) in the area of leadership is reviewed. Researchers at the WRAIR have examined the role of leadership as a predictor of stress, as a buffer against the negative effects of stress, and as a variable that predicts or enables variables that have been found to decrease the adverse effects of stress (e.g., role clarity, self-efficacy, and job engagement). A key strength of the WRAIR program of research is the use of multilevel modeling to examine how perceptions of leadership at the unit level are related to unit and individual soldier well-being and motivation.

Based on the psychological concept of toughening, we expected soldier responses to unrehearsed demands to be less resilient than to routine training demands. As hypothesized, soldiers rated their perceptions of physical and psychological demands higher during the unrehearsed training phase of the study. It was also hypothesized that soldiers would recover more from physical demands than from psychological demands after the training exercise. Although a trend in the data marginally supported this hypothesis, a note of caution is warranted because of the small sample size. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed, with particular emphasis on the dual importance of psychological and physical training in preparing soldiers for mission demands.

Dietary intakes were obtained by a visual estimation method and self-reported food records from 32 SF and 13 support soldiers for 9 days. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured in nine soldiers from each group using doubly labeled water. Mean (± SD) total energy expenditure of SF (4,099 ± 740 kcal/day) was higher than support soldiers (3,361 ± 939 kcal/day, p < 0.01). Energy intake did not differ between groups. Median energy intake for all soldiers was 3,204 kcal/day. The nutrient intake goals of SF soldiers were not fully met by eating in the dining facility. Extending meal times and providing additional meals or "take out" foods may allow energy needs of SF soldiers (~4,200 kcal/day) to be met, while reducing the reliance on potentially less nutritious outside foods.

During their first semester at West Point, 179 cadets completed measures of holistic wellness, perceived stress, and mattering. The highest wellness scores were in areas of social support, physical wellness, and humor. Significant negative correlations were found between perceived stress and work, realistic beliefs, and stress management. Significant positive correlations resulted between 17 wellness scales and mattering, t tests revealed only one area, work wellness, where the norm group scores exceeded those of the cadets. Cadets' scores exceeded norm group scores for perceived wellness, mattering, and seven of the Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle scales, including total self-direction. Within-group differences were identified based on gender, for four of the self-direction factors, and for age on the dimension of self-care. Implications for health promotion and wellness from the perspective of holistic wellness are considered.

Medical officers in a field environment cannot avoid facing cutaneous quandaries. This article briefly highlights the omnipresent threat of cutaneous disease. It follows with a cost-effective look at periodically deploying a dermatologist to Bosnia. Volumes of historical data clearly justify the assignment of a dermatologist as a special consultant staff officer to every corps or theater medical staff. Despite this data, only two U.S. Army units in our present table of organization and equipment will have a dermatologist (60L] available for periodic direct-field consultation and teaching. After review of the historical data and the Stabilization Force-Bosnia statistics presented here, the table of organization and equipment restructuring that is required to meet the challenges of tomorrow will be clear. A dermatologist must be deployed as a theater or division consultant.

In 2002, the three Services continued their cooperative, multidisciplinary approach to the WNV outbreak. Activities included a doubling of mosquito surveillance and vector control responses, extension of and doubling of bird and nonhuman mammal surveillance to all four continental United States regions, expanded diagnostic testing by DoD laboratories, and installation environmental clean up and personnel protection campaigns. Medical treatment facilities conducted passive surveillance and reported possible cases in DoD health care beneficiaries. Efforts were coordinated through active communication within installations, with commands, and with surrounding communities. Undertaken activities complemented each other to maximize surveillance coverage. The surveillance detected WNV on 44 DoD installations. It led directly to vector control and prevention activities, and there were no confirmed cases of WNV reported in the DoD force. This multi-Service effort is a surveillance template for future outbreaks that threaten DoD force health.

Military personnel are known to be vulnerable to this disease. After a training barracks exposure to pertussis, routine arrangements for contact prophylaxis with erythromycin failed. This experience is reported here as well as that of our subsequent aggressive attempts using directly observed prophylaxis (DOP) with standard erythromycin regimens. No secondary cases occurred. However, many contacts (35%) could not finish a 14-day course despite DOP, mostly because of nausea (85%) or diarrhea (72%). Seventeen (18%) soldiers missed classes because of erythromycin side effects; five required emergency department visits or hospital admission for the same. Sixteen (17%) soldiers were switched to azithromycin because of side effects; all were able to complete a 14-day course without symptoms. High adherence rates with erythromycin administration using DOP are attainable but may trigger unacceptable toxicities; alternative prophylactic regimens should be considered for active duty personnel.

Materials and Methods: The dental readiness classification, derived from a clinical screening examination versus a panoramic radiological examination, was compared for 1,050 Fort Sill Basic Training recruits during a 1-month period. The dentist who reviewed the panoramic radiograph and determined a dental classification was blinded to the earlier dental classification from the clinical examination. The Spearman's rank order correlation test was used to determine if a statistically significant correlation existed between classifications based on the clinical examination versus classification by review of the panoramic radiograph alone. Results: The project identified that 18% (n = 186) and 23.7% (n = 249) of the sample population had at least one class 3 condition identified from the clinical screening examination and the panoramic radiograph review, respectively. Of the 186 dental fitness category 3 conditions identified from the routine dental screening, 81.7% (152) of them were also identified from the review of the panoramic radiograph. Spearman's rank order correlation test statistic was 0.633 for a p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant correlation in the identification of IET soldiers with class 3 conditions using a screening examination with a review of the panoramic radiograph. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that panoramic radiograph review can identify IET soldiers with dental fitness category 3 conditions and implies that a policy change may be prudent to allow this type of initial classification.

Now, hazards of concern include both high and low levels of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals in air, soil, and water. The types of health effects considered have expanded to include both immediate, acute effects (mild and severe), and delayed or chronic outcomes. Because federal exposure standards are not applicable to deployed personnel, the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine established military-specific exposure guidelines in Technical Guide 230, Chemical Exposure Guidelines for Deployed Military Personnel. Methods used to develop the guidelines address toxicological data limitations, uniqueness of military populations and exposure scenarios, and a risk assessment process compatible with existing military operational risk management doctrine. The Technical Guide 230 helps ensure chemical hazards are addressed in various deployment scenarios.

This cohort study analyzed health status responses and their relationship to postdeployment health outcomes among 16,142 military personnel who completed a health questionnaire after a deployment ending in 1999. Respondents were Army and Air Force personnel returning from Europe or Southwest Asia. Fourteen percent documented at least one health concern and 1.8% had fair/poor self-rated health. In the 6 months after deployment, 1.4% were hospitalized, 25% made five or more outpatient visits, and 4% separated from military service. Deployers with fair/poor self-rated health were at a significantly increased risk for high use of outpatient services (risk ratio, men 1.8, women 1.7) but not for hospitalization or separation. Self-report of low health status or other health concerns may help identify deployers with higher health care needs after future deployments.

Before the 18th century, foot soldiers seldom carried more than 15 kg while on the march, but loads have progressively risen since then. This load increase is presumably due to the weight of weapons and equipment that incorporate new technologies to increase protection, firepower, communications, and mobility. Research shows that locating the load center of mass as close as possible to the body center of mass results in the lowest energy cost and tends to keep the body in an upright position similar to unloaded walking. Loads carried on other parts of the body result in higher energy expenditures: each kilogram added to the foot increases energy expenditure 7% to 10%; each kilogram added to the thigh increases energy expenditure 4%. Hip belts on rucksacks should be used whenever possible as they reduce pressure on the shoulders and increase comfort. Low or mid-back load placement might be preferable on uneven terrain but high load placement may be best for even terrain. In some tactical situations, combat load carts can be used, and these can considerably reduce energy expenditure and improve performance. Physical training that includes aerobic exercise, resistance training targeted at specific muscle groups, and regular road marching can considerably improve road marching speed and efficiency. The energy cost of walking with backpack loads increases progressively with increases in weight carried, body mass, walking speed, or grade; type of terrain also influences energy cost. Predictive equations have been developed, but these may not be accurate for prolonged load carriage. Common injuries associated with prolonged load carriage include foot blisters, stress fractures, back strains, metatarsalgia, rucksack palsy, and knee pain. Load carriage can be facilitated by lightening loads, improving load distribution, optimizing load-carriage equipment, and taking preventive action to reduce...

The two replacement strategies included the reserve component option and the TRICARE internal resource-sharing option. A hypothetical scenario was used as a mechanism for the analysis, and three key variables were considered: effectiveness, feasibility, and operational expense, From the perspective of effectiveness, the TRICARE strategy demonstrated an ability to provide a slightly larger percentage of the requested replacement personnel. With regard to feasibility, both strategies were feasible in that both could provide replacements for the duration of the 270-day deployment and within an established 180-day report date. Operational expense was a decisive factor with the reserve component option significantly less costly than the TRICARE alternative. Weaknesses and strengths of each option were identified and discussed, and alternatives were recommended.

To determine whether assignment in this desert environment increases risk of respiratory illnesses, hospitalization rates were compared between two matched cohorts of soldiers during three intervals of follow-up during a 10-year surveillance period. The exposed cohort (N = 21,543) included ail soldiers who were ever assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. The control cohort (N = 86,172) included soldiers matched on demographic characteristics who were never assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. Three follow-up intervals ("before," "during," "after") were defined relative to times when exposed soldiers were assigned to the desert. Rates of respiratory hospitalizations were similar between the cohorts for the "before" and "during" intervals but were higher in the exposed cohort for the "after" interval (rate ratio, 1.30; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.59). This difference was largely attributable to excess pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations in the exposed cohort. Healthy, young adults may have increased susceptibility to respiratory infectious illnesses after prolonged exposures to desert environments.

It is also a crucial requirement for athletic events and activities. Deterioration in this postural control mechanism is termed postural instability and results in increased postural sway. Decrements in postural sway have been documented following a 15.5-mile run. It remains to be seen whether a shorter distance run will cause a similar decrease in postural control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 2-mile run on postural sway in healthy subjects. Forty-four healthy subjects were assigned to an experimental group (2-mile run) or a control group. Postural sway was measured before and after the run with the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and a clinical balance test called the Military Academy Stance Test. There was a significant before-after run Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index (p < 0.05) and Military Academy Stance Test index (p < 0.05) increase in the experimental group. There was no significant change for the control group. It was concluded that a 2-mile run does produce a significant increase in postural sway as measured using the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and Military Academy Stance Test.

Traditional dental missions have been a part of general MEDRETEs and have focused care on extractions and the provision of oral hygiene instructions. This article describes the tenets of a prevention-based dental humanitarian mission to Honduras in 2002. Materials and Methods: The U.S. Army Southern Command requested a Dental Specialty MEDRETE for fiscal year 2002. A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the dental readiness training exercises at the Escuala Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. Results: The U.S. Army Dental Command in conjunction with the 257th Medical Company {Dental Services) performed a pediatric dental readiness training exercises in Tegucigalpa March 4-15, 2002. In over 9 treatment days, there were 369 patient encounters totaling 1,593 treatment procedures. In keeping with the preventive focus of the mission, 514 dental occlusal sealants were provided compared with only 90 extractions. Over $76,000 in dental services was provided. Conclusions: The 2002 Honduran Dental Specialty MEDRETE represented a changing paradigm from extraction-based dental missions toward prevention-based missions. With this philosophical shift in focused care, Dental Specialty MEDRETEs have the ability to enhance the oral health of children, including those not fortunate enough to have received direct interventional dentistry.

Specifically, 2 markers for type II collagen and aggrecan synthesis (CPII and CS846, respectively)and 2 markers of types I and II degradation and type II degradation only (C1,2C and C2C, respectively) were studied. Preinjurybaseline serum samples and postinjury follow-up samples were obtained for 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 uninjuredcontrols matched for sex, age, height, and weight.Results: Results revealed significant decreases in C1,2C (P = .042) and C2C (P = .006) over time in the ACL-injured group whencompared with the controls. The change in serum concentrations of CS846 from baseline to follow-up was also significantly differentbetween the ACL-injured patients and uninjured controls (P = .002), as was the change between groups in the ratio ofC2C:CPII over time (P = .013). No preinjury differences in the ratio of C1,2C:CPII or C2C:CPII were observed between groups;however, postinjury differences were observed for both ratios.Conclusion: Changes in biomarker concentrations after an ACL injury suggest an alteration in cartilage turnover and joint metabolismin those sustaining ACL injuries compared with uninjured matched controls.

To that end, we examined the effects of RE on regional AP somatotroph GH release, structure, and relative quantity. Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of four groups: 1) no training or acute exercise (NT-NEX); 2) no training with acute exercise (NT-EX); 3) resistance training without acute exercise (RT-NEX); 4) resistance training with acute exercise (RT-EX). RE incorporated 10, 1 m-weighted ladder climbs at an 85° angle. RT groups trained 3 days/wk for 7 wk, progressively. After death, trunk blood was collected, and each AP was divided into quadrants (ventral-dorsal and left-right). We measured: 1) trunk plasma GH; 2) somatotroph GH release; 3) somatotroph size; 4) somatotroph secretory content; and 5) percent of AP cells identified as somatotrophs. Trunk GH differed by group (NT-NEX, 8.9 ± 2.4 µg/l; RT-NEX, 9.2 ± 3.5 µg/l; NT-EX, 15.6 ± 3.4 µg/l; RT-EX, 23.4 ± 4.6 µg/l). RT-EX demonstrated greater somatotroph GH release than all other groups, predominantly in ventral regions (P < 0.05-0.10). Ventral somatotrophs were larger in NT-EX and RT-NEX compared with RT-EX (P < 0.05-0.10). RT-NEX exhibited significantly greater secretory granule content than all other groups but in the ventral-right region only (P < 0.05-0.10). Our findings indicate reproducible patterns of spatially distinct, functionally different somatotroph subpopulations in the rat pituitary gland. RE training appears to induce dynamic adaptations in somatotroph structure and function.

Poor iron status, including iron deficiency (ID; diminished iron stores) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA; poor iron stores and diminished hemoglobin), affects billions of people worldwide. This review focuses on physical and neuropsychological outcomes associated with ID and IDA in premenopausal women, as the prevalence of ID and IDA is often greater in premenopausal women than other population demographics. Recent studies addressing the physiological effects of poor iron status on physical performance, including work productivity, voluntary activity, and athletic performance, are addressed. Similarly, the effects of iron status on neurological performance, including cognition, affect, and behavior, are summarized. Nutritional countermeasures for the prevention of poor iron status and the restoration of decrements in performance outcomes are described.

This is often attributed to the stimulatory effects of endotoxin, released from damaged intestine, on immune cells. However, parenchymal cells also produce cytokines, and skeletal muscle, comprising a large proportion of body mass, is thought to participate. We tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscle exhibits a cytokine response to HS that parallels the systemic response in conscious mice heated to a core temperature of 42.4°C (TcMax). Diaphragm and hindlimb muscles showed a rapid rise in interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleuin-10 (IL-10) mRNA and transient inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) throughout early recovery, a pattern that parallels changes in circulating cytokines. IL-6 protein was transiently elevated in both muscles at ~32 min after reaching TcMax. Other responses observed included an upregulation of toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) and heat shock protein-72 (HSP-72) mRNA but no change in TLR-2 or HSP25 mRNA. Furthermore, c-jun and c-fos mRNA increased. Together, c-jun/c-fos form the activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor, critical for stress-induced regulation of IL-6. Interestingly, a second "late-phase" (24 h) cytokine response, with increases in IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, and TNF-α protein, were observed in hindlimb but not diaphragm muscle. These results demonstrate that skeletal muscle responds to HS with a distinct "stress-induced immune response," characterized by an early upregulation of IL-6, IL-10, and TLR-4 and suppression of IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA, a pattern discrete from classic innate immune cytokine responses.

While there are several factors that may affect the MFC variability across studies (populations studied, environmental conditions, etc.), one aspect of the discrepancies in the literature may be the result of different placements of shoe markers and/or MFC calculation methods. A marker on the toe is often used, but may only quantify one aspect of how the foot actually clears the trip hazard. The purpose of this study was to determine the location on the shoe where MFC occurs during locomotor tasks with the highest risk of tripping. Ten young adults performed three trials of locomotor tasks which included overground walking, obstacle crossing, level change and stair negotiation. Clearance was calculated for 72 points on each shoe, including those most commonly used in past research. The location of the overall MFC on the shoe sole differed both between limbs and across locomotor tasks. Additionally, the region of the obstacle, step or stair over which the MFC occurred varied both within and across task. Use of this 3D MFC methodology provided further insight into which portions of the shoe may come closest to the tripping hazard. Future research should examine whether the location and value of the MFC changes between different populations, or with environmental modifications.

Participants with low versus high math anxiety performed a timed arithmetic task after practicing one of three short-term breathing exercises promoting focused attention, unfocused attention, or worry, and after consuming either 0 or 200mg l-theanine. Overall, participants with high math anxiety underperformed relative to those with low math anxiety. This effect, however, was largely alleviated by a focused breathing exercise, which increased rated calmness and enhanced performance on the arithmetic test amongst those with high math anxiety. l-theanine supplementation showed only minimal effects. These results provide insights into the attentional mechanisms involved in regulating the negative emotions that lead to testing underperformance, and suggest that focused breathing exercises can be a useful, practical tool for helping address the negative impacts of math anxiety.

This study examined age, gender, ethnicity, self-esteem, physical activity, parental smoking, and socioeconomic status as predictors of smokeless tobacco use among middle school children. Subjects included 1,211 youth (White (64%), Black (24%), Hispanic (6%), and Other (6%); age 12.2) participating in the Cardiovascular Health in Children and Youth (CHIC II) study. All data were collected by questionnaire. Factors related to ever using smokeless tobacco included older age (p < .001), being male (p < .001), lower self-esteem (p < .001), and having parents who currently (p = .02) or formerly (p = .05) smoked. Hispanics reported a higher current usage rate than other ethnic groups (p < .001). White youth in the lowest socioeconomic status were most likely to be experimental users (p = .007), while those in the high socioeconomic status were more likely to be current users (p = .006). Physical activity was not associated with smokeless tobacco use.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Agricultural Biotechnology; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Developing vaccines for highly pathogenic viruses such as those causing Lassa, Ebola, and Marburg hemorrhagic fevers is a daunting task due to both scientific and logistical constraints. Scientific hurdles to overcome include poorly defined relationships between pathogenicity and protective immune responses, genetic diversity of viruses, and safety in a target population that includes a large number of individuals with compromised immune systems. Logistical obstacles include the requirement for biosafety level-4 containment to study the authentic viruses, the poor public health infrastructure of the endemic disease areas, and the cost of developing these vaccines for use in non-lucrative markets. Recombinant DNA-based vaccine approaches offer promise of overcoming some of these issues. In this review, we consider the status of various recombinant DNA candidate vaccines against Lassa virus and filoviruses which have been tested in animals.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - Ferroquine (FQ), a chloroquine (CQ) analog, is being developed to treat persons with Plasmodium falciparum malaria. In 146 P. falciparum field isolates from western Kenya, we measured 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50; nM) of CQ and FQ by a SYBR Green I in vitro assay. Reference clones included W2 (CQ resistant) and D6 (CQ sensitive). Mutation analysis was done for P. falciparum CQ-resistance transporter gene (Pfcrt K76T). Median IC50 values for FQ were lower than CQ for field isolates and the W2 clone (both P<0.05). The Pfcrt mutation (76T), which was detected in >80% of isolates, conferred higher CQ IC50 values (P<0.05) and modestly lower FQ IC50 values (P<0.05), versus Pfcrt wild type (K76). FQ is more potent than CQ against CQ-resistant P. falciparum field isolates and the W2 clone, and is less affected by Pfcrt 76T. These findings support the notion that FQ could be useful in treating persons with P. falciparum malaria.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: A one-year prospective examination of injury rates and injury risk factors was conducted in Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) new agent training. Methods: Injury incidents were obtained from medical records and injury compensation forms. Potential injury risk factors were acquired from a lifestyle questionnaire and existing data at the FBI Academy. Results: A total of 426 men and 105 women participated in the project. Thirty-five percent of men and 42% of women experienced one or more injuries during training. The injury incidence rate was 2.5 and 3.2 injuries/1,000 person-days for men and women, respectively (risk ratio (women/men)=1.3, 95% confidence interval=0.9-1.7). The activities most commonly associated with injuries (% of total) were defensive tactics training (58%), physical fitness training (20%), physical fitness testing (5%), and firearms training (3%). Among the men, higher injury risk was associated with older age, slower 300-meter sprint time, slower 1.5-mile run time, lower total points on the physical fitness test (PFT), lower self-rated physical activity, lower frequency of aerobic exercise, a prior upper or lower limb injury, and prior foot or knee pain that limited activity. Among the women higher injury risk was associated with slower 300-meter sprint time, slower 1.5-mile run time, lower total points on the PFT, and prior back pain that limited activity. Conclusion: The results of this investigation supported those of a previous retrospective investigation emphasizing that lower fitness and self-reported pain limiting activity were associated with higher injury risk among FBI new agents.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Decision-making is a social process whereby behaviors are often driven by social influences and social consequences. Research shows that social context also plays an integral role in decision-making processes. In particular, evidence suggests that implicit or non-conscious cognitions are linked to social information in memory and that implicit attitudes can be communicated and assimilated between people on an unconscious level. This study assesses social contagion of implicit cognitions regarding alcohol and marijuana among high school friend networks. Data are from an evidence-based drug education program delivered by either a health educator or by nominated class leaders over a 3-month period. Implicit attitudes were found to be susceptible to social influences, particularly for alcohol. Surprisingly, social contagion was stronger for cognitions than for behaviors.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: A retrospective examination was conducted of injuries, physical fitness, and their association among Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) new agent trainees. Methods: Injuries and activities associated with injuries were obtained from a review of medical records in the medical clinic that served the new agents. A physical fitness test (PFT) was administered at Weeks 1, 7 and 14 of the 17-week new agent training course. The PFT consisted of push-ups to exhaustion (continuous motion), 1-minute bent-leg sit-ups, 300-meter sprint, a 1.5-mile run, and pull-ups to exhaustion. Injury data were available from 2000 to 2008 and fitness data were available from 2004 to early 2009. Results: During the survey period, 37% of men and 44% of women experienced one or more injuries during the new agent training course (risk ratio (women/men)=1.18, 95% confidence interval=1.07-1.31). The most common injury diagnoses were musculoskeletal pain (not otherwise specified) (27%), strains (11%), sprains (10%), contusions (9%), and abrasions/lacerations (9%). Activities associated with injury included defensive tactics training (48%), physical fitness training (26%), physical fitness testing (6%), and firearms training (6%). Over a 6-year period, there was little difference in performance of push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, or the 300-meter sprint; 1.5-mile run performance was higher in recent years. Among both men and women, higher injury incidence was associated with lower performance on any of the physical fitness measures. Conclusion: This investigation documented injury diagnoses, activities associated with injury, and changes in physical fitness, and demonstrated that higher levels of physical fitness were associated with lower injury risk.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Public Health N2 - Background: Probiotics may enhance gastrointestinal health and immune function. The efficacy of different probiotic dosing strategies on colonization and persistence of probiotics is undefined. Objective: The authors assessed colonization and persistence of Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) DSM17938 (BioGaia AB, Stockholm, Sweden) after daily or alternate-day dosing. Methods: Volunteers ate pudding with L. reuteri (109 CFU) daily (n=9) or on alternate days (n=9) over 7 days. Fecal samples were collected on dosing days (D1-7) and after dosing ended (D13-15 and D20-22) and were analyzed for the presence of L. reuteri. Results are reported in 3-day increments (D2-4, D5-7, D13-15, and D20-22). Results: L. reuteri count rose in response to daily supplementation ([mean±SD] D2-4: 4×104±2×104 CFU, p<0.01; D5-7: 10×104±9×104 CFU, p<0.01) and alternate-day supplementation (D2-4: 21×104±20×104 CFU, p<0.01; D5-7: 11×104±15×104 CFU, p=0.06) and fell in both groups 1 week after dosing ended (p<0.01). Total volunteers with detectable L. reuteri 1 and 2 weeks after dosing ended was similar in response to daily feeding (4/9 and 2/9, respectively) and alternate-day feeding (3/9 and 2/9, respectively). L. reuteri count was higher D2-4 in response to alternate-day vs daily feeding (p<0.05) but similar thereafter. Conclusions: Alternate-day probiotic intake achieves equivalent colonization to daily intake, but colonization declines rapidly once dosing stops. It is possible that, initially, responsiveness to probiotics may differ between individuals, but those differences do not persist with longer consumption.

Number of References: 60 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - With the exception of Reston and Lloviu viruses, filoviruses (marburgviruses, ebolaviruses, and "cuevaviruses") cause severe viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans. Filoviruses use a class I fusion protein, GP1,2, to bind to an unknown, but shared, cell surface receptor to initiate virus-cell fusion. In addition to GP1,2, ebolaviruses and cuevaviruses, but not marburgviruses, express two secreted glycoproteins, soluble GP (sGP) and small soluble GP (ssGP). All three glycoproteins have identical N termini that include the receptor-binding region (RBR) but differ in their C termini. We evaluated the effect of the secreted ebolavirus glycoproteins on marburgvirus and ebolavirus cell entry, using Fc-tagged recombinant proteins. Neither sGP-Fc nor ssGP-Fc bound to filovirus-permissive cells or inhibited GP1,2-mediated cell entry of pseudotyped retroviruses. Surprisingly, several Fc-tagged Δ-peptides, which are small C-terminal cleavage products of sGP secreted by ebolavirus-infected cells, inhibited entry of retroviruses pseudotyped with Marburg virus GP1,2, as well as Marburg virus and Ebola virus infection in a dose-dependent manner and at low molarity despite absence of sequence similarity to filovirus RBRs. Fc-tagged Δ-peptides from three ebolaviruses (Ebola virus, Sudan virus, and Taï Forest virus) inhibited GP1,2-mediated entry and infection of viruses comparably to or better than the Fc-tagged RBRs, whereas the Δ-peptide-Fc of an ebolavirus nonpathogenic for humans (Reston virus) and that of an ebolavirus with lower lethality for humans (Bundibugyo virus) had little effect. These data indicate that Δ-peptides are functional components of ebolavirus proteomes. They join cathepsins and integrins as novel modulators of filovirus cell entry, might play important roles in pathogenesis, and could be exploited for the synthesis of powerful new antivirals.

N2 - Retrocyclins are humanized versions of the θ-defensin peptides expressed by the leukocytes of several nonhuman primates. Previous studies, performed in serum-free media, determined that retrocyclins 1 (RC1) and RC2 could prevent successful germination of Bacillus anthracis spores, kill vegetative B. anthracis cells, and inactivate anthrax lethal factor. We now report that retrocyclins are extensively bound by components of native mouse, human, and fetal calf sera, that heat-inactivated sera show greatly enhanced retrocyclin binding, and that native and (especially) heat-inactivated sera greatly reduce the direct activities of retrocyclins against spores and vegetative cells of B. anthracis. Nevertheless, we also found that retrocyclins protected mice challenged in vivo by subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intranasal instillation of B. anthracis spores. Retrocyclin 1 bound extensively to B. anthracis spores and enhanced their phagocytosis and killing by murine RAW264.7 cells. Based on the assumption that spore-bound RC1 enters phagosomes by "piggyback phagocytosis," model calculations showed that the intraphagosomal concentration of RC1 would greatly exceed its extracellular concentration. Murine alveolar macrophages took up fluorescently labeled retrocyclin, suggesting that macrophages may also acquire extracellular RC1 directly. Overall, these data demonstrate that retrocyclins are effective in vivo against experimental murine anthrax infections and suggest that enhanced macrophage function contributes to this property.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - From 1997 to 2009, the Tick-Borne Disease Laboratory of the U.S. Army Public Health Command (USAPHC) (formerly the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine) screened 5286 Dermacentor variabilis ticks removed from Department of Defense (DOD) personnel, their dependents, and DOD civilian personnel for spotted fever group rickettsiae using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Rickettsia montanensis (171/5286=3.2%) and Rickettsia amblyommii (7/5286=0.1%) were detected in a small number of samples, but no ticks were found positive for Rickettsia rickettsii, the agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) until May 2009, when it was detected in one D. variabilis male removed from a child in Maryland. This result was confirmed by nucleotide sequence analysis of the rickettsial isolate and of the positive control used in the polymerase chain reaction, which was different from the isolate. Lethal effects of rickettsiostatic proteins of D. variabilis on R. rickettsii and lethal effects of R. rickettsii infection on tick hosts may account for this extremely low prevalence. Recent reports of R. rickettsii in species Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Amblyomma americanum ticks suggest their involvement in transmission of RMSF, and other pathogenic rickettsiae have been detected in Amblyomma maculatum. The areas of the U.S. endemic for RMSF are also those where D. variabilis exist in sympatry with populations of A. americanum and A. maculatum. Interactions among the sympatric species of ticks may be involved in the development of a focus of RMSF transmission. On the other hand, the overlap of foci of RMSF cases and areas of A. americanum and A. maculatum populations might indicate the misdiagnosis as RMSF of diseases actually caused by other rickettsiae vectored by these ticks. Further studies on tick vectors are needed to elucidate the etiology of RMSF.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design, the effects of 48 h near complete energy restriction on endocrine regulators of appetite and satiety were assessed. Twelve men and one woman participated in this controlled, 2-day diet intervention study. One experimental trial was completed in a calorie deprived state (CAL-DEP; <10% of estimated energy requirements) and others in a fed condition (carbohydrate only and carbohydrate and fat; data were pooled and compared to CAL-DEP). Test meals containing prescribed energy intake and indistinguishable in sensory characteristics were provided during each trial. Glucose, insulin, leptin, ghrelin, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), and satiety were repeatedly assessed. Mean glucose, insulin, and leptin concentrations were lower (P<0.0001) for CAL-DEP compared to the fully fed (FED) state. Ghrelin and DHEA-S were higher (P<0.0001) for CAL-DEP relative to FED. Cortisol levels declined each day regardless of diet (P<0.0001) but were 32% higher (P<0.01) at the conclusion of the session for CAL-DEP compared to FED. Satiety was 25% lower (P<0.0001) for CAL-DEP relative to FED and decreased (P<0.0001) over time regardless of diet. In the FED state, insulin (r=0.55), glucose (r=0.76), cortisol (r=-0.59), and DHEA-S (r=-0.62) were associated (P<0.05) with satiety, but not during CAL-DEP. These findings show that 2 days of severe energy restriction alter several endocrine regulators of appetite independent of perception of increased hunger suggesting a physiological mechanism to explain overeating following acute periods of severe energy restriction.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Background: Inadequate energy intake induces changes in endogenous glucose production (GP) to preserve muscle mass. Whether addition provision of dietary protein modulates GP response to energy deficit is unclear. The objective was to determine whether exercise-induced energy deficit effects on glucose metabolism are mitigated by increased dietary protein. Methods: Nineteen men ([mean±SD] 23±2 y, VO2peak 59±5 ml.kg-1.min-1) were divided into three groups, two consuming moderate (MP; 0.9 g protein kg-1 d-1), and one high (HP; 1.8 g protein kg-1 d-1) protein diets (55% energy from carbohydrate) for 11 days. Following 4 days of energy balance (D1-4), energy expenditure was increased for 7 days (D5-12) in all groups. Energy intake was unchanged in two, creating a 1000 kcal d-1 deficit (DEF-MP, DEF-HP; n=6, both groups), whereas energy balance was maintained in the third (BAL-MP, n=7). Biochemical markers of substrate metabolism were measured during fasting rest on D4 and D12, as were GP and contribution of gluconeogenesis to endogenous glucose production (fgng) using 4-h primed, continuous infusions of [6,6-2H2]glucose (dilution-method) and [2-13C]glycerol (MIDA technique). Glycogen breakdown (GB) was derived from GP and fgng. Results: Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate levels increased, and plasma glucose and insulin declined from D4 to D12, regardless of group. DEF-MP experienced decreased plasma GP from D4 to D12 ([mean change±SD] 0.24±0.24 mg.kg-1.min-1), due to reduced GB from D4 (1.40±0.28 mg.kg-1.min-1) to D12 (1.16±0.17 mg.kg-1.min-1), P<0.05. Conversely, BAL-MP and DEF-HP sustained GP from D4 to D12 ([mean change±SD] 0.1±0.5 and 0.0±0.2 mg.kg-1.min-1, respectively) by maintaining GB. Conclusion: Exercise-induced energy deficit decreased GP and additional dietary protein mitigated that effect.

Registry Number: 4670-05-7. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the interactions of three theaflavin compounds with lipid bilayers. Experimental studies have linked theaflavins to beneficial health effects, some of which are related to interactions with the cell membrane. The molecular interaction of theaflavins with membranes was explored by simulating the interactions of three theaflavin molecules (theaflavin, theaflavin-3-gallate, and theaflavin-3,3′-digallate) with a mixed bilayer composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE). The simulations show that the theaflavins evaluated have an affinity for the lipid bilayer surface via hydrogen bonding. The molecular structure of theaflavins influenced their configuration when binding to the bilayer surface, as well as their ability to form hydrogen bonds with the lipid headgroups. The theaflavin-bilayer interactions studied here help to define structure-function relationships of the theaflavins and provide a better understanding of the role of theaflavins in biological processes. The significance of the results are discussed in the context of black tea composition and bioactivity.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Tropical Diseases N2 - Marburgvirus (MARV) infections are generally lethal in humans and nonhuman primates but require in vivo lethal mouse variant selection by the serial transfer (passage) of the nonlethal virus into naïve mice to propagate a lethal infection. The passage of progenitor (wild-type) MARV or Ravn virus (RAVV) from infected scid BALB/c mouse liver homogenates into immunocompetent BALB/c mice results in the selection of lethal mouse viruses from within the quasispecies sufficient to establish lethality in immunocompetent mice. Genomic analysis in conjunction with the passage history of each mutation detailed the altered primary and secondary structures of the viral genomic RNA throughout the process. Key findings included the following: (i) a VP40:D184N mutation previously identified in the lethal guinea pig MARV genome was the first mutation to occur during the passage of both the MARV and RAVV variants; (ii) there was biased hypermutagenesis in the RAVV variant genome; (iii) there were two identical mutations in lethal mouse MARV and RAVV variants, VP40:Y19H in the PPPY motif and VP40:D184N in a loop structure between the two VP40 domains; (iv) the passage of wild-type MARV and RAVV in mice resulted in the selection of viral variants from among the quasispecies with different genotypes than those of the wild-type viruses; and (v) a lethal mouse RAVV variant had different tissue tropisms distinct from those of its wild-type virus. These studies provide insights into how marburgviruses manipulate the host for enzymes, metabolites, translation regulators, and effectors of the innate immune response to serve as potential viral countermeasures.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Ankle and foot injuries (AFI) are a major cause of Active-Duty Army (ADA) soldiers' time lost from training and combat operations. We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database to compute the rates of AFI to identify high-risk ADA groups for the years 2000-2006. During this time, 16% of soldiers were clinically seen at least once for an AFI. Yearly, 60% to 70% of ADA soldiers with AFI had an ankle sprain/strain, and ankle sprain/strain had the highest 7-year rate of all AFIs (103 per 1,000). From 2000 to 2006, all AFI rates declined; however, enlisted male soldiers ≤30 years of age without an advanced degree were at highest risk. A history of an AFI in the previous 2 years increased AFI rates by 93% to 160%. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for identifying specific ADA groups at high risk of AFI; these groups should be targeted for preventive interventions.

Due to various advances in pre-hospital care and training, under-resuscitation of patients with severe burns is now relatively uncommon. Over-resuscitation, otherwise known as "fluid creep", has emerged as one of the most important problems during the initial phases of burn care over the past decade. To avoid the complications of over-resuscitation, careful hourly titration of fluid rates based on compilation of various clinical end points by a bedside provider is vital. The aim of this review is to provide a practical approach to the resuscitation of severely burned patients.

Number of References: 49 ref. Registry Number: 56-12-2. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a high-energy, trinitrated cyclic compound that has been used worldwide since World War II as an explosive in both military and civilian applications. RDX can be released in the environment by way of waste streams generated during the manufacture, use, and disposal of RDX-containing munitions and can leach into groundwater from unexploded munitions found on training ranges. For >60 years, it has been known that exposure to high doses of RDX causes generalized seizures, but the mechanism has remained unknown. Objective: We investigated the mechanism by which RDX induces seizures. Methods and results: By screening the affinity of RDX for a number of neurotransmitter receptors, we found that RDX binds exclusively to the picrotoxin convulsant site of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) ionophore. Whole-cell in vitro recordings in the rat basolateral amygdala (BLA) showed that RDX reduces the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous GABAA receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents and the amplitude of GABA-evoked postsynaptic currents. In extracellular field recordings from the BLA, RDX induced prolonged, seizure-like neuronal discharges. Conclusions: These results suggest that binding to the GABAA receptor convulsant site is the primary mechanism of seizure induction by RDX and that reduction of GABAergic inhibitory transmission in the amygdala is involved in the generation of RDX-induced seizures. Knowledge of the molecular site and the mechanism of RDX action with respect to seizure induction can guide therapeutic strategies, allow more accurate development of safe thresholds for exposures, and help prevent the development of new explosives or other munitions that could pose similar health risks.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Germicidal UV (also known as UVC) provides a means to decontaminate infected environments as well as a measure of viral sensitivity to sunlight. The present study determined UVC inactivation slopes (and derived D37 values) of viruses dried onto nonporous (glass) surfaces. The data obtained indicate that the UV resistance of Lassa virus is higher than that of Ebola virus. The UV sensitivity of vaccinia virus (a surrogate for variola virus) appeared intermediate between that of the two virulent viruses studied. In addition, the three viruses dried on surfaces showed a relatively small but significant population of virions (from 3 to 10% of virus in the inoculum) that appeared substantially more protected by their environment from the effect of UV than the majority of virions tested. The findings reported in this study should assist in estimating the threat posed by the persistence of virus in environments contaminated during epidemics or after an accidental or intentional release.

N2 - Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium and a category A biothreat agent. Screening of a library of transposon-mutagenized B. anthracis spores identified a mutant displaying an altered phenotype that harbored a mutated gene encoding the purine biosynthetic enzyme PurH. PurH is a bifunctional protein that catalyzes the final steps in the biosynthesis of the purine IMP. We constructed and characterized defined purH mutants of the virulent B. anthracis Ames strain. The virulence of the purH mutants was assessed in guinea pigs, mice, and rabbits. The spores of the purH mutants were as virulent as wild-type spores in mouse intranasal and rabbit subcutaneous infection models but were partially attenuated in a mouse intraperitoneal model. In contrast, the purH mutant spores were highly attenuated in guinea pigs regardless of the administration route. The reduced virulence in guinea pigs was not due solely to a germination defect, since both bacilli and toxins were detected in vivo, suggesting that the significant attenuation was associated with a growth defect in vivo. We hypothesize that an intact purine biosynthetic pathway is required for the virulence of B. anthracis in guinea pigs.

The coverage problems examined here employ the diffused target concept. This shows that the series solution to one of these problems reduce to the incomplete Beta function, for which tables are available, and obtains a new series solution, more amenable to computation, for a second problem. In attempting to reduce the series to elementary functions the procedure used by A.D. Wheelon was employed. The substance of the procedure consists of first identifying part of the general term of the series, h(s), as the Laplace transform of a function H(t). The series are closely related to the binomial series, a series notoriously ill suited for computation. In summing these series for large values of n one encounters adjacent terms of different sign but near-equal magnitude.

Thus, there is a need for stopping rules that will control risks of erroneous judgments in war game simulations or computer games. In view of a new formulation of basic Lanchester combat theory, it is now possible, when games are analyzed in terms of time-to-kill data, to formulate stopping rules in terms of hypothesis testing procedures and reliability theory. This paper develops procedures that not only give explicit stopping rules, but also control the risks of erroneous judgments to acceptable levels for exponential lifetimes of combat elements.

We advance the advantageous idea here that the time to kill or time to neutralize key opposing targets is the more logical random variable to be treated on a probabilistic basis, and hence that the fraction of remaining combatants on each side should properly be estimated from the time-to-kill probability distributions sampled—in other words, from principles of the statistical theory of reliability and life testing. The advantages of such treatment include the possibility that the the future course of a battle may be predicted from data on casualties in the early stages of an engagement, and therefore that field commanders will have available information on which to base critical decisions—for example, either to withdraw or to augment fighting forces—in order to bring about more desirable future courses of combat for a given mission. Also, commanders may even use analyses suggested herein independently of information on enemy losses to decide whether the course of combat is proceeding satisfactorily or according to plan by comparing data on early casualties observed in an engagement with standards that have been determined from experience or specified in advance. Another advantage of the suggested method is that available Weibull theory leads to placing confidence bounds on the fractions of survivors for any specified mission times. The degree of confidence on final predictions depends, as would be expected, on the number of targets put out of action in an engagement or simulation, the nature of the time to kill distributions encountered or sampled, the degree of accuracy or confidence desired, and the number of runs or the size of the war game. The new formulation is illustrated with a small-scale, but informative, example on a hypothesized engagement between chief battle tanks (CBT's) that fire missiles and R10 tanks with gun armament.

While perhaps arguably a relatively esoteric subject prior to 1989, given the recent changes that have taken place in the Soviet Union, U.S. alliance strategy is now on the threshold of a new era--an era in which the Soviet threat is seen by many allies as diminishing. As U.S. officials ponder the implications of a decreased Soviet threat on its many alliances, of which almost all have been threat-based, it will be important to recall the one series of collective security arrangements with allies that has been founded on similarities, vice solely threats. This intimate Anglo-Saxon connection appears to have the needed bases for enduring well into the post-cold-war era.

SN - 0095327X AB - In founding the Army Industrial College in the 1920s, activist U.S. Army logistical officers were not wholeheartedly embracing closer relations with the business sector. World War I had demonstrated to them the need for the military to school itself in mobilizing for industrial-based war. But the war also had presented businessmen as rivals for control of procurement functions. With the knowledge acquired in their planned industrial college, the logistical officers hoped to gain an advantage over civilian dollar-a-year men in any future mobilization. They wanted to improve the Army's performance and simultaneously to achieve for themselves increased professional status and recognition in comparison with the combat arms officers who habitually reaped the lion's share of wartime glory. Seen from this perspective, pre-World War II military-industrial relations appear less close than generally thought and require fresh study.

The author maintains that a proper understanding of Liddell Hart's general theory of war must be drawn from a chronological study of his writings. The paper shows that Liddell Hart's basic conceptual structure was complete by 1933, and had evolved from consideration of small-unit infantry tactics in the World War, through speculation Oh the influence of mechanization and a belief in the existence of lessons in history, to a fundamental belief in the central importance of dislocation Oh battle outcome. In the end, Liddell Hart reminds the soldier that he is engaged in a purposeful activity and one that must be conducted with an eye Oh the consequences.

SN - 0095327X AB - In 1973 West Germany's first military universities opened in Hamburg and Munich. Because of the German past, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has serious reservations about the very idea of military power and armed forces. The founding of the military universities engendered intense public debate over the military's role in a new democratic society and the kind of education its soldiers need. The article examines the historical and political circumstances surrounding the creation of the Bundeswehr universities, the arguments for and against their founding and their curricula and student life. The Bundeswehr continues to face major challenges in legitimizing and maintaining a modern and credible military force in a society that is ultrasensitive to all things military and in which many citizens place an absolute value on peace. The Bundeswehr universities have largely achieved their founders' goals: to attract a sufficient number of talented officers willing to defend their country and able to meet the technological and leadership challenges required by the FRG's armed forces and society.

Certain key elements are necessary for survival and for successful large-scale change. The key elements involve the dissolution of existing patterns and the creation and development of new ones. These processes include: (1)Pattern breaking: freeing the system from structures, processes, or functions that are no longer effective or useful, (2) Experimenting: generating new patterns better suited to the present environment. (3) Visioning: choosing a new perspective around which a system can reorganize. (4) Bonding and attunement: harmonizing members to move the system toward new ways of doing, thinking, and learning.

However, little is known about the incidence rate and injury patterns associated with ankle sprains in this population. Objective: To examine the incidence of ankle sprains among active-duty members of the US Armed Services from 1998 through 2006. A secondary objective was to describe the sex, age, and service-specific injury patterns in this young, physically active population. Design: Cohort study. Patients or Other Participants: All active-duty service members from the day they enter military service until the day they leave military service and US Army Reserve and National Guard service members during periods of active duty and mobilization. Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury data were extracted from the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database from 1998 through 2006. All data for ankle sprains, coded according to the International Classification of Diseases (9th revision), were included. Cases were limited to those injuries reported as first occurrences. Incidence rates (IRs) were calculated per 1000 person-years by sex, age, and service. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between the incidence of ankle sprain and the independent variables of sex, age, and service. Results: From 1998 through 2006, 423581 service members sustained ankle sprains and 12 118863 person-years at risk to injury were documented in this population. The incidence rate was 34.95 (95% Cl = 34.85, 35.06) per 1000 person-years at risk. Females were 21% more likely (IRA = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.21, 1.23) to sustain an ankle sprain than males. Sex-specific IR varied by age and service. Differences in the rate of ankle sprains were also noted by age and service. Conclusions: The incidence of ankle sprains among US service members was 5 times greater than that previously reported in civilian population studies. Sex, age, and branch of military service are important factors related to the incidence of ankle sprains in this population.

AB - The ability to effectively direct one’s attention is an important aspect of regulating emotions and a component of mindfulness. Mindfulness practices have been established as effective interventions for mental and physical illness; however, the underlying neural mechanisms of mindfulness and how they relate to emotional processing have not been explored in depth. The current study used a within-subjects repeated measures design to examine if focused breathing, a brief mindfulness induction, could modulate event-related potentials (ERPs) during emotional image processing relative to a control condition. We related ERP measures of processing positive, negative, and neutral images (the P300 and late positive potential—LPP) to state and trait mindfulness measures. Overall, the brief mindfulness induction condition did not influence ERPs reflecting emotional processing; however, in the brief mindfulness induction condition, those participants who reported feeling more decentered (a subscale of the Toronto Mindfulness Scale) after viewing the images had reduced P300 responses to negative versus neutral images.

AB - When old–new recognition judgments must be based on ambiguous memory evidence, a proper criterion for responding 'old' can substantially improve accuracy, but participants are typically suboptimal in their placement of decision criteria. Various accounts of suboptimal criterion placement have been proposed. The most parsimonious, however, is that subjects simply over-rely on memory evidence – however faulty – as a basis for decisions. We tested this account with a novel recognition paradigm in which old–new discrimination was minimal and critical errors were avoided by adopting highly liberal or conservative biases. In Experiment 1, criterion shifts were necessary to adapt to changing target probabilities or, in a 'security patrol' scenario, to avoid either letting dangerous people go free (misses) or harming innocent people (false alarms). Experiment 2 added a condition in which financial incentives drove criterion shifts. Critical errors were frequent, similar across sources of motivation, and only moderately reduced by feedback. In Experiment 3, critical errors were only modestly reduced in a version of the security patrol with no study phase. These findings indicate that participants use even transparently non-probative information as an alternative to heavy reliance on a decision rule, a strategy that precludes optimal criterion placement.

AB - From phonetic features to connected discourse, every level of psycholinguistic structure including prosody can be perceived through viewing the talking face. Yet a longstanding notion in the literature is that visual speech perceptual categories comprise groups of phonemes (referred to as visemes), such as /p, b, m/ and /f, v/, whose internal structure is not informative to the visual speech perceiver. This conclusion has not to our knowledge been evaluated using a psychophysical discrimination paradigm. We hypothesized that perceivers can discriminate the phonemes within typical viseme groups, and that discrimination measured with d-prime (d’) and response latency is related to visual stimulus dissimilarities between consonant segments. In Experiment 1, participants performed speeded discrimination for pairs of consonant-vowel spoken nonsense syllables that were predicted to be same, near, or far in their perceptual distances, and that were presented as natural or synthesized video. Near pairs were within-viseme consonants. Natural within-viseme stimulus pairs were discriminated significantly above chance (except for /k/-/h/). Sensitivity (d’) increased and response times decreased with distance. Discrimination and identification were superior with natural stimuli, which comprised more phonetic information. We suggest that the notion of the viseme as a unitary perceptual category is incorrect. Experiment 2 probed the perceptual basis for visual speech discrimination by inverting the stimuli. Overall reductions in d’ with inverted stimuli but a persistent pattern of larger d’ for far than for near stimulus pairs are interpreted as evidence that visual speech is represented by both its motion and configural attributes. The methods and results of this investigation open up avenues for understanding the neural and perceptual bases for visual and audiovisual speech perception and for development of practical applications such as visual lipreading/speechreading speech synthesis.

AB - Objectives: Characterize the distribution of foot-strike (FS) patterns in U.S. Army Soldiers and determine if FS patterns are related to self-reported running injuries and performance. Methods: 341 male Soldiers from a U.S. Army Combined Arms Battalion ran at their training pace for 100 meters, and FSs were recorded in the sagittal plane. Participants also completed a survey related to training habits, injury history, and run times. Two researchers classified FS patterns as heel strike (HS) or nonheel strike (NHS, combination of midfoot strike and forefoot strike patterns). Two clinicians classified the musculoskeletal injuries as acute or overuse. The relationship of FS type with two-mile run time and running-related injury was analyzed (p ≤ 0.05). Results: The Soldiers predominately landed with an HS (87%) and only 13% were characterized as NHS. Running-related injury was similar between HS (50.3%) and NHS (55.6%) patterns (p = 0.51). There was no difference (p = 0.14) between overuse injury rates between an HS pattern (31.8%) and an NHS pattern (31.0%). Two-mile run times were also similar, with both groups averaging 14:48 minutes. Conclusion: Soldiers were mostly heel strikers (87%) in this U.S. Army Combined Arms Battalion. Neither FS pattern was advantageous for increased performance or decreased incidence of running-related injury.

We report results of a double-dissociative randomized controlled study in which 48 Army platoons were randomly assigned to social resilience training (intervention condition) or cultural awareness training (active control group). The same surveys were administered to all platoons at baseline and after the completion of training to determine the short-term training effects, generalization effects beyond training, and possible adverse effects. Multilevel modeling analyses indicated that social resilience, compared with cultural awareness, training produced small but significant improvements in social cognition (e.g., increased empathy, perspective taking, & military hardiness) and decreased loneliness, but no evidence was found for social resilience training to generalize beyond these training foci nor to have adverse effects. Moreover, as predicted, cultural awareness, compared with social resilience, training produced increases in knowledge about and decreases in prejudice toward Afghans. Additional research is warranted to determine the long-term durability, safety, and generalizability of social resilience training.

AB - Many law enforcement agencies have established protective intelligence units that conduct threat assessments, but they often rely on standard criminal investigation approaches rather than the collection and analysis methods typically used by intelligence agencies. This article reviews a basic model of the intelligence cycle and discusses concepts that are particularly relevant to the field of threat assessment, and how it can enhance the assessment and threat management process and guide the allocation of limited resources. The estimate of analytic confidence, based on specific criteria regarding the quality and quantity of information that conclusions are derived from, is especially useful, and provides a more meaningful expression of uncertainty than the 'reasonable degree of psychological certainty' often seen with forensic opinions. This approach allows for separate expressions of analytic confidence and the concern for the threat of targeted violence. A proposed matrix based on these separate estimates provides a model for guiding investigative efforts and intervention strategies, as well as the allocation of manpower and other resources. This model may further facilitate much needed research in threat management practices and associated outcomes.

Copyright Statement: Washington School of Psychiatry AB - Objective: Although the U.S. Army suicide rate is known to have risen sharply over the past decade, information about medically documented, nonfatal suicidal behaviors is far more limited. Here we examine trends and sociodemographic correlates of suicide attempts, suspicious injuries, and suicide ideation among regular Army soldiers. Methods: Data come from the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS) Historical Administrative Data Study (HADS), which integrates administrative records for all soldiers on active duty during the years 2004 through 2009 (n = 1.66 million). Results: We identified 21,740 unique regular Army soldiers with a nonfatal suicidal event documented at some point during the HADS study period. There were substantial increases in the annual incidence rates of suicide attempts (179-400/100,000 person-years) and suicide ideation (557-830/100,000 person-years), but not suspicious injuries. Using hierarchical classification rules to identify the first instance of each soldier’s most severe behavior, we found increased risk of all outcomes among those who were female, non-Hispanic White, never married, lower-ranking enlisted, less educated, and of younger age when entering Army service. These sociodemographic associations significantly differed across outcomes, despite some patterns that appear similar. Conclusion: Results provide a broad overview of nonfatal suicidal trends in the U.S. Army during 2004 through 2009 and demonstrate that integration of multiple administrative data systems enriches analysis of the predictors of such events.

The present study investigated neurocognitive changes arising from chronic sleep restriction outside the laboratory. Methods: Sleep patterns of 24 undergraduates were tracked via actigraphy across a 15-week semester. At the semester beginning, at a midpoint, and a week before finals, students performed the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) and cortical arousal was measured via event-related potentials (ERP) and resting state electroencephalography (EEG). Results: Average daily sleep decreased between Session 1 and Sessions 2 and 3. Calculated circadian rhythm measures indicated nighttime movement increased and sleep quality decreased from Sessions 1 and 2 to Session 3. Parallel to the sleep/activity measures, PVT reaction time increased between Session 1 and Sessions 2 and 3 and resting state alpha EEG reactivity magnitude and PVT-evoked P3 ERP amplitude decreased between Session 1 and Sessions 2 and 3. Cross-sectional regressions showed PVT reaction time was negatively associated with average daily sleep, alpha reactivity, and P3 changes; sleep/circadian measures were associated with alpha reactivity and/or P3 changes. Conclusions: Small, but persistent sleep deficits reduced cortical arousal and impaired vigilant attention. Significance: Chronic sleep restriction impacts neurocognition in a manner similar to laboratory controlled sleep deprivation.

AB - Background: Social-stress mouse model, based on the resident-intruder paradigm was used to simulate features of human post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The model involved exposure of an intruder (subject) mouse to a resident aggressor mouse followed by exposure to trauma reminders with rest periods. C57BL/6 mice exposed to SJL aggressor mice exhibited behaviors suggested as PTSD-in-mouse phenotypes: intermittent freezing, reduced locomotion, avoidance of the aggressor-associated cue and apparent startled jumping. Brain tissues (amygdala, hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, septal region, corpus striatum and ventral striatum) from subject (aggressor exposed: Agg-E) and control C57BL/6 mice were collected at one, 10 and 42 days post aggressor exposure sessions. Transcripts in these brain regions were assayed using Agilent’s mouse genome-wide arrays. Results: Pathways and biological processes associated with differentially regulated genes were mainly those thought to be involved in fear-related behavioral responses and neuronal signaling. Expression-based assessments of activation patterns showed increased activations of pathways related to anxiety disorders (hyperactivity and fear responses), impaired cognition, mood disorders, circadian rhythm disruption, and impaired territorial and aggressive behaviors. In amygdala, activations of these pathways were more pronounced at earlier time-points, with some attenuation after longer rest periods. In hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex, activation patterns were observed at later time points. Signaling pathways associated with PTSD-comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, metabolic disorder, inflammation and cardiac infarction, were also significantly enriched. In contrast, signaling processes related to neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity were inhibited. Conclusions: Our data suggests activations of behavioral responses associated with anxiety disorders as well as inhibition of neuronal signaling pathways important for neurogenesis, cognition and extinction of fear memory. These pathways along with comorbid-related signaling pathways indicate the pervasive and multisystem effects of aggressor exposure in mice, potentially mirroring the pathologic conditions of PTSD patients.

AB - The multifactorial nature of traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially the complex secondary tissue injury involving intertwined networks of molecular pathways that mediate cellular behavior, has confounded attempts to elucidate the pathology underlying the progression of TBI. Here, systems biology strategies are exploited to identify novel molecular mechanisms and protein indicators of brain injury. To this end, we performed a meta‐analysis of four distinct high‐throughput gene expression studies involving different animal models of TBI. By using canonical pathways and a large human protein‐interaction network as a scaffold, we separately overlaid the gene expression data from each study to identify molecular signatures that were conserved across the different studies. At 24 hr after injury, the significantly activated molecular signatures were nonspecific to TBI, whereas the significantly suppressed molecular signatures were specific to the nervous system. In particular, we identified a suppressed subnetwork consisting of 58 highly interacting, coregulated proteins associated with synaptic function. We selected three proteins from this subnetwork, postsynaptic density protein 95, nitric oxide synthase 1, and disrupted in schizophrenia 1, and hypothesized that their abundance would be significantly reduced after TBI. In a penetrating ballistic‐like brain injury rat model of severe TBI, Western blot analysis confirmed our hypothesis. In addition, our analysis recovered 12 previously identified protein biomarkers of TBI. The results suggest that systems biology may provide an efficient, high‐yield approach to generate testable hypotheses that can be experimentally validated to identify novel mechanisms of action and molecular indicators of TBI.

AB - Objective: To determine if training with electronically-modulated hearing protection (EMHP) and the open ear results in auditory learning on a horizontal localization task. Design: Baseline localization testing was conducted in three listening conditions (open-ear, in-the-ear (ITE) EMHP, and over-the-ear (OTE) EMHP). Participants then wore either an ITE or OTE EMHP for 12, almost daily, one-hour training sessions. After training was complete, participants again underwent localization testing in all three listening conditions. A computer with a custom software and hardware interface presented localization sounds and collected participant responses. Study sample: Twelve participants were recruited from the student population at Virginia Tech. Audiometric requirements were 35 dBHL at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz bilaterally, and 55 dBHL at 4000 Hz in at least one ear. Results: Pre-training localization performance with an ITE or OTE EMHP was worse than open-ear performance. After training with any given listening condition, including open-ear, performance in that listening condition improved, in part from a practice effect. However, post-training localization performance showed near equal performance between the open-ear and training EMHP. Auditory learning occurred for the training EMHP, but not for the non-training EMHP; that is, there was no significant training crossover effect between the ITE and the OTE devices. Conclusion: It is evident from this study that auditory learning (improved horizontal localization performance) occurred with the EMHP for which training was performed. However, performance improvements found with the training EMHP were not realized in the non-training EMHP. Furthermore, localization performance in the open-ear condition also benefitted from training on the task.

EEG coherence between the motor planning (Fz) and left hemispheric region was progressively reduced over trials (low-beta, high-beta, gamma bands) along with faster, straighter reaching movements during both planning and execution. The major reduction in coherence (delta, low/high-theta, low/high-alpha bands) between Fz and the left prefrontal region during both movement planning and execution suggests gradual disengagement of frontal executive following its initial role in the suppression of established visuomotor maps. Also, change in the directionality of phase lags (delta, high-alpha, high-beta, gamma bands) reflects a progressive shift from feedback to feedforward motor control. The reduction of cortico-cortical communication, particularly in the frontal region, and the strategic feedback/feedforward mode shift translated as higher quality motor performance. This study extends our understanding of the role of frontal executive beyond purely cognitive tasks to cognitive-motor tasks.

AB - This chapter seeks to summarize those data and offer some insight on PTSD in the female soldier today. The information is drawn from a variety of US Army data sources, but it is internally very consistent. Behavioral health responses to war are clearly much broader than PTSD; they include other post-traumatic symptoms, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, as well as positive growth. However, the PTSD data are the most clearly defined and will be used in this discussion, with other relevant mental health data introduced as needed. This chapter is not as comprehensive as we would like. It is based on available data collected for other purposes, such as evacuation from theater. However, it does present the most robust existing data that are available, and offers some insight and recommendations for future research.

AB - This evidence-based review examined the evidence supporting the use of occupation-based interventions to improve areas of occupation and social participation poststroke. A total of 39 studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically evaluated. Most of the literature targeted activity of daily living (ADL)-based interventions and collectively provided strong evidence for the use of occupation-based interventions to improve ADL performance. The evidence related to instrumental ADLs was much more disparate, with limited evidence to support the use of virtual reality interventions and emerging evidence to support driver education programs to improve occupational performance poststroke. Only 6 studies addressed leisure, social participation, or rest and sleep, with sufficient evidence to support only leisure-based interventions. The implications of this review for research, education, and practice in occupational therapy are also discussed.

AB - This section explored and challenged existing conceptions of agency in humans and other animals. More directly, we endeavored to initiate direct examination of the theoretical relevance of agency specifically with regard to psychobiology and philosophy. The objective was to present an accessible, axiomatic, and functional conception of the neurobiology of agency in everyday life in humans. From the outset of this volume, Roger Smith clearly presented that the operational definition of agency is central to its evaluation and interpretation in science. He further demonstrated that it is a poorly defined and decidedly un-unified concept across the scientific community, and particularity across psychology. Therefore, he proposed a conception that defines agency in modern times as 'causal processes (even causal determination) and free action.' While this definition covers a great deal of behavior, his intent appears to have been to start to shape the dialog and define the historical context in which agency has existed until now. This is clearly also an issue for those studying the neurobiology of agency as it was raised by all contributors to this section. As you will see below, these contributors would likely support Smith's definition related to 'causal processes of action,' as long as the term 'free' was removed. This is not necessarily because the commentators do not believe in 'free will,' they just do not seem to agree that this term is scientifically useful at this time.

AB - This book explores the basic concept of agency and develops it further in psychology, using it to better understand and explain psychological processes and behavior. More importantly, this book seeks to put an emphasis on the role of agency in four distinct settings: history of psychology, neuroscience, psychology of religion, and sociocultural theories of co-agency. In Volume 12 of the Annals of Theoretical Psychology, the contributors will explore a number of new ways to look at agency in psychology. This volume seeks to develop a systematic theory of axioms for agency. It describes implications for research and practice that are founded on an understanding of the person as an actor in the world. This book also has implications for research and practice across psychology's sub-fields, uniting the discipline through an agentic view of the person.

In this chapter, we will share insights gained through research, focusing on a discussion of understanding global military teams and different aspects of performance, the challenges of working in a global context, and recommendations for enhancing team effectiveness. The chapter begins with a definition to encompass 'global teams' found in the military and a description of the types of global teams composed by military members. Then, the significant challenges currently faced by leaders of global military teams are broken down into questions related to composing the team, building and training the team, and monitoring and improving performance. Within the discussion of these challenges, ongoing research focused on enhancing performance in global teams is presented and critical areas of focus for future research are discussed.

Results indicated that a three-factor measurement model consistently improved model fit compared to the previously published two-factor model. Evidence of configural, metric, and scalar measurement invariance across time and among subgroups suggests that the 10-item decisional balance scale is appropriate for investigating associative relationships with other constructs and for comparing group means of the pros and cons subscales among a variety of diabetic population subgroups.

Methods: Two randomized, repeated-measures experiments were performed. In one, 10 volunteers drank 3 carbohydrate-protein beverages (380 kcal, 76 g carbohydrate, 19 g protein, 2 g fat) in separate (>7 days) trials, each differing in protein type. All drinks consisted of cocoa (4 g) and nonfat dry milk (1 g) supplemented with casein (CAS), whey (WP), or a casein and whey blend (CAS-WP). Ten additional volunteers consumed the same drinks after 60 min of varying-intensity exercise (60% and 85% VO2peak). Blood glucose, insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide (GIP), and AAs were measured every 15-30 min for 4 hr after beverage consumption. Results: Branchedchain AA concentrations peaked at 30 min and did not differ between beverages at rest (0.69 ± 0.12 mmol/L) or postexercise (0.70 ± 0.07 mmol/L). There were no significant differences between beverages with respect to initial (time 0-60) or total area under the curve (time 0-240) for any outcome measures at rest or postexercise. Conclusion: High-carbohydrate beverages containing various proportions of milk proteins procured from a supplier to the commercial industry had no impact on AA concentration. Retrospective chemical analysis of commercial proteins showed that casein was partially hydrolyzed; therefore, consumers should carefully consider the manufacturer (to ensure that the product contains intact protein) or other factors (i.e., cost or taste) when procuring these beverages for their purported physiological effects.

The materials used to provide this protection may exacerbate thermal strain by limiting heat and water vapor transfer. Any new PPE must therefore be evaluated to ensure that it poses no greater thermal strain than the current standard for the same level of hazard protection. This review describes how such evaluations are typically conducted. Comprehensive evaluation of PPE begins with a biophysical assessment of materials using a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal resistance and water vapor permeability). These characteristics are then evaluated on a thermal manikin wearing the PPE, since thermal properties may change once the materials have been constructed into a garment. These data may be used in biomedical models to predict thermal strain under a variety of environmental and work conditions. When the biophysical data indicate that the evaporative resistance (ratio of permeability to insulation) is significantly better than the current standard, the PPE is evaluated through human testing in controlled laboratory conditions appropriate for the conditions under which the PPE would be used if fielded. Data from each phase of PPE evaluation are used in predictive models to determine user guidelines, such as maximal work time, work/rest cycles, and fluid intake requirements. By considering thermal stress early in the development process, health hazards related to temperature extremes can be mitigated while maintaining or improving the effectiveness of the PPE for protection from external hazards.

Several models of team leadership are reviewed, distinguishing between the leadership of teams from leadership in teams. Shared leadership is a variant of the latter in which everyone on the team is responsible for leadership and where leadership emerges through patterned interactions of team members. Overall, shared leadership appears to be a possibility for the military-and one that is needed because of the increasing complexity of missions-but efforts need to be undertaken to incorporate it into formal training and doctrine.

Along with the intellectual challenge, scientists may appreciate the technical insight there, especially about security, ethical honesty, and common computing interests. Attendees in hacker conferences range from respected tribal elders to immature hangers-on. The majority are genuine computer experts from highly technical computing disciplines. The hackers are largely self- and peer-taught. But one should not assume that just because no computer science diplomas hang on their walls--though many do--they are not worth engaging. In many ways their expertise and problem solving exceeds their counterparts in the research laboratories and classrooms. Hacker conferences teach respect for interdisciplinary backgrounds and diversity within the computing disciplines. Hackers' passionate pursuit of technical excellence and lifetime learning, as well as their adventuresome exploration and enjoyment of technology, are to be emulated.

This article presents an analysis on the biomechanics and applications of cervical spine injury research with an emphasis on human tolerance for underbody blast loadings in the military. Methods: Following a brief review of published military studies on the occurrence and identification of field trauma, postmortem human subject investigations are described using whole body, intact head–neck complex, osteo-ligamentous cervical spine with head, subaxial cervical column, and isolated segments subjected to differing types of dynamic loadings (electrohydraulic and pendulum impact devices, free-fall drops). Findings: Spine injuries have shown an increasing trend over the years, explosive devices are one of the primary causal agents and trauma is attributed to vertical loads. Injuries, mechanisms and tolerances are discussed under these loads. Probability-based injury risk curves are included based on loading rate, direction and age. Interpretation: A unique advantage of human cadaver tests is the ability to obtain fundamental data to delineate injury biomechanics and establish human tolerance and injury criteria. Definitions of tolerances of the spine under vertical loads based on injuries have implications in clinical and biomechanical applications. Primary outputs such as forces and moments can be used to derive secondary variables such as the neck injury criterion. Implications are discussed for designing anthropomorphic test devices that may be used to predict injuries in underbody blast environments and improve the safety of military personnel.

However, a key challenge in this application of synthetic materials is mimicking the rate-dependent mechanical response of complex biological tissues. Here, we characterize the mechanical behavior of tissue simulant gel candidates comprising a chemically crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) network loaded with a non-reactive PDMS solvent, and compare this response with that of tissue from murine heart and liver under comparable loading conditions. We first survey the rheological properties of a library of tissue simulant candidates to investigate the effects of solvent loading percentage, reactive functional group stoichiometry, and solvent molecular weight. We then quantify the impact resistance, energy dissipation capacities, and energy dissipation rates via impact indentation for the tissue simulant candidates, as well as for the murine heart and liver. We demonstrate that by tuning these variables the silicone gels can be engineered to match the impact response of biological tissues. These experiments inform the design principles required for synthetic polymer gels that are optimized to predict the response of specific biological tissues to impact loading, providing insight for further tuning of this gel system to match the impact response of other "soft tissues" ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR KW - *BIOMECHANICS KW - *TISSUES KW - STOICHIOMETRY KW - POLYMER colloids KW - MICE as laboratory animals KW - MOLECULAR weights KW - ENERGY dissipation KW - Energy dissipation KW - Impact indentation KW - PDMS KW - Rheology KW - Soft tissues KW - Tissue simulants UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=s3h&AN=87931350&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - s3h ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Variation in tibial functionality and fracture susceptibility among healthy, young adults arises from the acquisition of biologically distinct sets of traits.

To be mechanically functional, a bone should be sufficiently stiff and strong to support physiological loads. Factors impairing this process are expected to compromise strength and increase fracture risk. We tested the hypotheses that individuals with reduced stiffness relative to body size will show an increased risk of fracturing and that reduced strength arises from the acquisition of biologically distinct sets of traits (ie, different combinations of morphological and tissue-level mechanical properties). We assessed tibial functionality retrospectively for 336 young adult women and men engaged in military training, and calculated robustness (total area/bone length), cortical area (Ct.Ar), and tissue-mineral density (TMD). These three traits explained 69% to 72% of the variation in tibial stiffness ( p < 0.0001). Having reduced stiffness relative to body size (body weight × bone length) was associated with odds ratios of 1.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.5-4.3) and 7.0 (95% CI, 2.0-25.1) for women and men, respectively, for developing a stress fracture based on radiography and scintigraphy. K-means cluster analysis was used to segregate men and women into subgroups based on robustness, Ct.Ar, and TMD adjusted for body size. Stiffness varied 37% to 42% among the clusters ( p < 0.0001, ANOVA). For men, 78% of stress fracture cases segregated to three clusters ( p < 0.03, chi-square). Clusters showing reduced function exhibited either slender tibias with the expected Ct.Ar and TMD relative to body size and robustness (ie, well-adapted bones) or robust tibias with reduced residuals for Ct.Ar or TMD relative to body size and robustness (ie, poorly adapted bones). Thus, we show there are multiple biomechanical and thus biological pathways leading to reduced function and increased fracture risk. Our results have important implications for developing personalized preventative diagnostics and treatments.

Background: PFPS affects up to 25% of the general population. Despite the high prevalence, this condition is not clearly understood, as evidenced by the numerous proposed causes and recommended treatments. Notwithstanding, recent evidence suggests that treatments directed at the hip or spine may lead to beneficial results. Methods: A convenience sample of 18 participants (12 men and 6 women, 19.5 ± 1.15 years old) with unilateral PFPS was recruited. Participants were randomized by sex to 1 of 3 groups: Kinesio taping, manipulation, and control taping. The main outcome measures included the Y-balance test, squatting range of motion (ROM), and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale. Results: Compared with the lumbopelvic manipulation and control groups, those in the Kinesio taping group performed significantly better on the Y-balance test (F = 5.59, P = 0.02) and with squatting ROM (F = 3.93, P = 0.04). The Kinesio taping and lumbopelvic groups were also significantly better than the control (sham) group with double-leg squatting ROM performance 3 days later. Conclusion: Kinesio taping may facilitate gluteus medius activation and improve postural stability and a double-leg squat. Clinical Relevance: The improvement in affected limb reach and double-leg squatting ROM highlights the potential for Kinesio taping to improve gluteus medius activation. Lumbopelvic manipulation may also immediately improve rehabilitation programs for PFPS.

To assist in understanding physiological mechanisms associated with STaH, we analyzed various arterial blood measures (ABM; pH, PaCO2:, oxygen content, sodium, potassium, glucose, bicarbonate, base excess, total CO2, and ionized calcium) in inbred rats. Rats from five inbred strains (n = 8-10/strain) were catheterized and, ~24 h later, subjected to a conscious, controlled, 47% hemorrhage. ABM were measured at the start (initial) and end (final) of hemorrhage. Inter- and intrainbred strain variations of ABM were quantified and compared, and correlations of ABM with STaH were determined. All final ABM values and some initial ABM values were different among strains. Most ABM changed (Δ) during hemorrhage, and these changes differed among strains (P <0.03). Some strain-dependent correlations (r ≥0.7; P ≤ 0.05) existed between ΔABM and STaH (e.g., BN/Mcwi, ΔK+, r = -0.84). Dark Agouti rats (longest STaH) had the smallest ΔPaCO2, ΔHCO3 , and Δbase excess, and the highest final glucose. High coefficients of variation (CVs, > 10%), strain-specific CVs, and low intraclass correlation coefficients (rI < 0.5) defined the large intrastrain ABM variation that exceeded interstrain variation for most ABM. These results suggest that some ABM (K+, PaCO2, glucose, oxygen content) could predict subsequent STaH in an inbred rat strain-dependent manner. We speculate that whereas genetic differences may be responsible for interstrain variation, individual-specific epigenetic processes (e.g., DNA methylation) may be partly responsible for both inter- and intrastrain ABM variation.

Since studies dating back to 1992 have suggested that DMPA may increase the transmission of HIV to women, we endeavored to determine if the extant epidemiological and biological evidence is sufficient to conclude that DMPA use constitutes a definite hazard to women's health. Methods: We searched Medline using the search terms: contraceptives or contraception AND HIV and searched bibliographies of articles thus identified. We included in the meta-analysis all studies examining the association between use of DMPA (or injectable contraceptives comprising mostly DMPA) and the presence (cross-sectional studies, n = 8) or acquisition (longitudinal studies, n = 16) of HIV+ status in women, using a random effects models to estimate odds ratios (ORs; cross-sectional studies) and hazard ratios (HRs; longitudinal studies). Studies were excluded if the comparison group included women using any form of steroidal contraception. Results: Statistically significant positive associations between DMPA use and HIV positivity were observed both in cross-sectional (OR = 1.41, 95% Cl 1.15 - 1.73) and longitudinal studies (HR = 1.49, 95% Cl 1.28 - 1.73). The biological plausibility of increased vulnerability to HIV infection due to progestational action (via thinning of the vaginal epithelial barrier and immunosuppression) as well as glucocorticoid agonistic immunosuppression, are discussed. Conclusion: The epidemiological and biological evidence now make a compelling case that DMPA adds significantly to the risk of male-to-female HIV transmission.

Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 181 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 227 EP - 235 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an evidence-based model that provides high-quality medical education for common and complex diseases through telementoring and comanagement of patients with primary care clinicians. In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 181 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 265 EP - 271 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Inhalational hazards are numerous in operational environments. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate associations between deployment to Kabul, Afghanistan and subsequent respiratory health among U.S. military personnel. The study population consisted of personnel who deployed to Kabul, select Operation Enduring Freedom locations, personnel stationed in the Republic of Korea, and U.S.-stationed personnel. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated for respiratory symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A significantly elevated rate of symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions was observed among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to personnel deployed or stationed in Bagram (IRR 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.19), Republic of Korea (IRR 1.20; 95% CI, 1.10-1.31), and the United States (IRR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.43-1.62). A statistically elevated rate of asthma was observed among personnel deployed to Kabul, relative to U.S.-stationed personnel (IRR 1.61; 95% CI, 1.22-2.12). Statistically significant rates were not observed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Kabul-deployed personnel compared to other study groups. These findings suggest that deployment to Kabul is associated with an elevated risk of postdeployment respiratory symptoms and new-onset asthma.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 181 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 250 EP - 257 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Unlabelled: The Eagle Tactical Athlete Program (ETAP) was scientifically developed for the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to counter unintentional musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs).Purpose: To determine if ETAP would reduce unintentional MSIs in a group of 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Soldiers.Methods: ETAP-trained noncommissioned led physical training. 1,720 Soldiers were enrolled (N = 1,136 experimental group [EXP], N = 584 control group [CON]) with injuries tracked before and after initiation of ETAP. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 181 IS - 2 M3 - journal article SP - 167 EP - 172 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The purpose of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability of the 2-minute, 90° push-up test as utilized in the Army Physical Fitness Test. Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/01/02/2016 Supplement VL - 181 M3 - journal article SP - 50 EP - 62 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This article summarizes presentations from a 2014 United States Department of Defense (DoD) Health Affairs Women in Combat symposium addressing physiological, musculoskeletal injury, and optimized physical training considerations from the operational physical performance section. The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

Of special concern are the effects on women serving in direct combat jobs, as well as in any specialties operating in a hostile environment. Drawing on previous research, the model considers and gives examples of how a woman's well-being is affected by events in her military career, her family life, and other areas of life. The article emphasizes the effects of intersections of multiple events, as well as how the effects on well-being are mediated or moderated by other factors, including individual characteristics, military contextual variables, and resources. The analysis also includes the impacts of preventative and treatment interventions, as well as of policies, programs, and practices. Based on the model and on previous research, questions for future research are posed.

This review will focus on a series of nutrients of concern for female Warfighters. Biological function, dietary sources, and requirements will be reviewed, and recommendations for women in combat roles will be provided. Iron, essential for physical and cognitive performance, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements as compared to male Warfighters, as well as declines in iron status that may occur in response to physical activities, such as military training. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health, and should be considered in efforts to prevent stress fractures, which occur with greater frequency in female Warfighters as compared to their male counterparts. Folate, essential for the prevention of neural tube defects during pregnancy and gestation, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements before pregnancy. Providing optimal levels of these nutrients will facilitate readiness as women prepare to serve in combat roles.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 181 IS - 1 M3 - journal article SP - 16 EP - 20 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Cultural, organizational, and dyadic influences have been found to be associated with smoking in the military while group-level influences have been identified in the general population. However, there are few studies examining group-level influences in the military and none using group-level analyses. Such studies are essential for understanding how to optimally forestall or cease smoking. This study, using mixed effects modelling, examined whether unit membership influenced smoking behavior in soldiers from brigade combat teams. Unit membership was assessed in 2008 to 2009 at the company level (n = 2204) and in 2012 at the platoon level (n = 452). Smoking was assessed by the number of daily cigarettes smoked (range: 0-99) with smoking status (nonsmoker vs. smoker) and smoking level (none, smoker, and heavy [20 + cigarettes/day]) as the outcomes. For both samples, unit membership was not significantly associated with a soldier's propensity to smoke when comparing either all smokers to nonsmokers or heavy smokers to smokers. These results suggest typical military unit-level training programs are unlikely to be the most effective mode of intervention for smoking prevention or cessation. Smoking rates in the military may be influenced instead by small group or individual relationships or by overall military culture.

Male and female Soldiers from the 101 st Airborne Division (Air Assault) completed a 24-hour dietary recall and nutrition history questionnaire before anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken. Compared to sports nutrition guidelines, Soldiers of the 101 st under consume carbohydrates (males: 3.9 ± 2.0 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p < 0.001; females: 4.0 ± 2.1 vs. 5.0 g/kg, p = 0.001), male Soldiers eat too much fat (32.4% of kcal vs. <30% of kcal, p = 0.000) and saturated fat (males: 10.5 ± 3.9% of kcal vs. 10.0% of kcal, p = 0.044), and both males and females follow a meal pattern that may not optimize energy availability throughout the day. Eating too much fat and under fueling carbohydrate may negatively impact the adaptations to physical training and compromise overall health. Although Soldiers continue to participate in arduous training programs, future research should be aimed at determining the energy and macronutrient needs to fuel and recover from specific types of military training.

We developed an Arm Immersion Cooling (AIC) system that is not logistically burdensome and may be easily employed in training environments.Purpose: To examine the effect of AIC on EHI incidence, severity, and treatment costs during Ranger School.Methods: The training program was standardized for physical exertion and heat stress factors throughout the study period. AIC was employed summer months of 2010-2012 (n = 3,930 Soldiers) and Control (CON; n = 6,650 Soldiers) data were obtained for summer months of 2007-2009. Descriptive characteristics of all EHI casualties were obtained, including hospitalization status (treated and released [Treat], evacuated [Evac] or admitted [Admit] to the hospital), which served as proxy indicator of illness/injury severity. Medical cost savings were calculated from hospital records.Results: Incidence rates were not different (CON 4.06 vs. AIC 4.00/1,000 person-days). Treat increased during AIC (18.43 vs. 4.84/1,000 person-days) accompanied by marked but non-significant decreases in Evac and Admit rates. AIC use was associated with a medical cost savings of $1,719 per casualty.Conclusions: AIC implementation during strenuous physical training in summer months can reduce EHI severity and associated medical treatment costs.

JO - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development JF - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 53 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 157 EP - 183 PB - VA Prosthetics Research & Development Center SN - 07487711 AB - Considering transtibial amputation (TTA) rehabilitation costs and complexity, high-quality literature should inform clinical practice. Systematic reviews (SRs) suggest this is not the case. This article's purpose was to review the highest-quality evidence available to guide clinical practice for TTA regarding five prosthetic intervention areas. Six databases were searched for high-quality SRs and prospective clinical trials (randomized clinical trials [RCTs]). Reviewers screened, sorted, rated (i.e., methodologic quality, bias risk), and extracted article data. Meta-analyses were conducted when possible. Thirty-one references were included (25 RCTs and 6 SRs). Five topical areas emerged (alignment, feet and ankles, interface, postoperative care, pylons). Twenty-three evidence statements were supported by level 2 evidence and eight by level 1 evidence. All RCTs reported randomization and reasonable data presentation. Concealed allocation and blinding were not widely used. Mean attrition was 11%. SRs included no meta-analyses. Functional level was poorly reported. Grouping feet and ankle components by functional classification enabled meta-analyses, though variance was considerable given the small sample sizes. Prosthetic interventions are generally safe for TTAs. High-quality literature enabled formulation of evidence statements to support select clinical practice areas, though quantity was lacking. Thus, numerous topics related to TTA care lack rigorous evidence. Although blinding in prosthetic research requires increased funding and effort, it could greatly improve the methodologic quality of prosthetic research.

The RE literature has mainly focused on procuring the most suitable ERP package. Little is known about how an organisation exploits the chosen ERP RE model to frame the business application development. This article reports an exploratory case study of a key tenet of ERP RE adoption, namely that aligning business applications to the packaged RE model leads to integral practices and economic development. The case study analysed a series interrelated pilot projects developed for a business division of a large IT manufacturing and service company, using Oracle's appl1ication implementation method (AIM). The study indicated that AIM RE improved team collaboration and project management experience, but needed to make hidden assumptions explicit to support data visibility and integrity. Our study can direct researchers towards rigorous empirical evaluations of ERP RE adoption, collect experiences and lessons learned for practitioners, and help generate more effective and mature processes when exploiting ERP RE methods.

In particular, novel sensor placement techniques are presented to detect the length of a crack in ground vehicles. These techniques are designed to provide vibration characteristics for structures that have both cracks and structural variability. Such techniques are needed because structural variability affects the mode shapes of a structure, and thus the optimal sensor locations for detecting cracks are affected. Two key approaches are developed and used: (1) PROMs, and (2) BMA. Based on PROMs and BMA, a novel sensor placement is proposed to determine the optimal sensor locations for complex structures with cracks and structural variability. The information from the sensors can be used to determine variations in the mode shapes of the structure for different crack lengths. The variation in mode shapes can then be used to identify the crack length. Numerical results are presented for a ground vehicle frame. The sensor placement method is applied first to find the optimal sensor locations in the presence of parameter variability, and then to identify the length of a crack.

While notable exceptions emerged during the Global War on Terrorism (i.e., rapid development/ fielding of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and Improvised Explosive Device defeat systems), "Acquisition Reform" efforts have not consistently yielded a process/system that delivers products faster, better, or cheaper. In 2009, President Obama took the initiative to give reforms another try. Through an analysis that applies John P. Kotter's model of organizational change and Edgar H. Schein's approach to organizational culture and leadership, the conclusion suggests that current initiatives will not be successful. Behavioral change is needed to embed transformation. Acquisition reforms can be coerced, but will not endure as true transformation unless cultural change occurs.

JO - Journal of Organizational Behavior JF - Journal of Organizational Behavior Y1 - 2011/05// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 672 EP - 687 SN - 08943796 AB - Job attitudes, as indicators of well-being, vary within individuals across cognitive processes and not just time. Research on employee well-being has relied primarily on self-reported measures of explicit job and life attitudes. Our work takes a different perspective on this issue by examining the role of implicit attitudes regarding one's organization, coworkers, and supervisor as indicators of well-being. Implicit attitudes are automatic, introspectively inaccessible, and predict behavior in socially sensitive contexts in which self-report measures may be impaired by impression management. The results of a field study demonstrate that implicit and explicit job attitudes reflect relatively independent intra-individual processes. Additionally, this study demonstrates that job performance and citizenship behaviors are best predicted by a combination of implicit and explicit job attitudes, and that a dissociation between implicit and explicit attitudes impacts organizational identification. We conclude with a discussion of how capturing implicit cognition in the workplace can better describe and subsequently help improve employee well-being. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is currently investigating silicon carbide Super-gate turn-off thyristors (SiC SGTOs) to meet the future pulsed power system requirements for the Army. ARL's methodology is to evaluate the device performance in pulsed power circuits that emulate the electrical stresses that the power devices would encounter in a pulsed power system. Each module being evaluated utilized four 0.6 cm2SiC SGTOs. The packaging design for the module utilizes ThinPak technology. The module has reliably been pulsed over 2000 times at peak currents greater than 8 kA with a pulse width of 170 μs. The module has also been pulsed greater than 3.6 kA at a pulse width of 1 ms, corresponding to an action rate of 7000 A2s and a current density of 2.5 kA/cm2 over the cathode mesa area. This work evaluates SiC SGTO modules under various pulsed conditions. This paper includes details on device structure, module package design, and module pulsed switching and reliability.

The waveplate is a periodic gold/polyimide composite with a physical thickness of λ/10. Our reflection based waveplate has an intensity throughput of 80% at the design frequency of 350 GHz. This is quite high in comparison to transmissive THz components which typically suffer a large insertion loss due to Fresnel reflections. Simulations suggest a halfwave rotation of over 99% of the reflected THz radiation from 320 - 372 GHz. Experiments at 350 GHz confirm the basic operation of our electromagnetic composite as a functional half waveplate.

Here we summarize progress in the development of green LEDs and report on time resolved luminescence data of polar c-plane and non-polar m-plane material. We find that by rigorous reduction of structural defects in homoepitaxy on bulk GaN and V-defect suppression, higher efficiency at longer wavelengths becomes possible. We observe that the presence of donor acceptor pair recombination within the active region correlates with lower device performance. To evaluate the aspects of piezoelectric polarization we compare LED structures grown along polar and non-polar crystallographic axes. In contrast to the polar material we find single exponential luminescence decay and emission wavelengths that remain stable irrespective of the excitation density. Those findings render high prospects for overcoming green gap and droop in non-polar homoepitaxial growth.

JO - Journal of Applied Social Psychology JF - Journal of Applied Social Psychology Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 41 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 627 EP - 657 SN - 00219029 AB - Recent acts of violence have demonstrated the impact of violent ideological groups worldwide. However, the systematic study of these groups is somewhat limited. The Internet is a valuable tool for investigating ideological group behavior because it is easily accessible and commonly used by these groups. This study attempted to extend previous research by examining online message boards to assess processes particular to ideological group membership. A content analysis was conducted on several group process variables using 29 groups with message boards. A Kruskal-Wallis test with follow-up pairwise comparisons was used to find that violent ideological groups differed from nonviolent ideological and nonviolent nonideological groups on 7 group process variables and 3 content variables. Implications are discussed.

A result is included that shows that the inverse gamma distribution always has an upside-down bathtub (UBT) shaped hazard function, thus adding to the limited number of available distributions with this property. A review of the utility of UBT distributions is provided as well. Probabilistic properties are presented first, followed by statistical properties to demonstrate its usefulness as a survival distribution. As the inverse gamma distribution is discussed in a limited and sporadic fashion in the literature, a summary of its properties is provided in an appendix.

JO - Journal of Applied Psychology JF - Journal of Applied Psychology Y1 - 2011/05// VL - 96 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 602 EP - 618 SN - 00219010 AB - The organizational justice literature has consistently documented substantial correlations between organizational justice and employee depression. Existing theoretical literature suggests this relationship occurs because perceptions of organizational (in)justice lead to subsequent psychological health problems. Building on recent research on the affective nature of justice perceptions, in the present research we broaden this perspective by arguing there are also theoretical arguments for a reverse effect whereby psychological health problems influence perceptions of organizational justice. To contrast both theoretical perspectives, we test longitudinal lagged effects between organizational justice perceptions (i.e., distributive justice, interactional justice, interpersonal justice, informational justice, and procedural justice) and employee depressive symptoms using structural equation modeling. Analyses of 3 samples from different military contexts (N1 = 625. N2 = 134. N3 = 550) revealed evidence of depressive symptoms leading to subsequent organizational justice perceptions. In contrast, the opposite effects of organizational justice perceptions on depressive symptoms were not significant for any of the justice dimensions. The findings have broad implications for theoretical perspectives on psychological health and organizational justice perceptions.

JO - Journal of Applied Psychology JF - Journal of Applied Psychology Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 96 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 327 EP - 336 SN - 00219010 AB - This paper evaluates 2 adjustments to common scoring approaches for situational judgment tests (SJTs). These adjustments can result in substantial improvements to item validity, reductions in mean racial differences, and resistance to coaching designed to improve scores. The first adjustment, applicable to SJTs that use Likert scales, controls for elevation and .scatter (Cronbach & Gleser, 1953). This adjustment improves item validity. Also, because there is a White-Black mean difference in the preference for extreme responses on Likert males (Bachman & O'Malley, 1984), these adjustments substantially reduce White-Black mean score differences. Furthermore. this adjustment often eliminates the score elevation associated with the coaching strategy of avoiding extreme responses (Cullen, Sackett, & Lievens, 2006). Item validity is shown to have a U-shaped relationship with item means. This holds both for SJTs with Likert score response formats and for SJTs where respondents identify the best and worst response option. Given the U-shaped relationship, the second adjustment is to drop items with midrange item means. This permits the SJT to be shortened, sometimes dramatically, without necessarily harming validity.

However, social interdependence theory emphasizes maximizing cooperation in teams by compensating members equally. Several researchers have advocated offsetting the limitations of individually based incentives and group-based incentives by mixing the two. However, the authors contend that this puts team members in a social dilemma, leading them to focus on the individually based component. The authors find that in comparison to group-based only incentives, mixed individual/group incentives lead team members to perform faster but less accurately and focus on their own taskwork to the detriment of backing up behavior.

Although bone conduction devices possess several advantages over headphones for some military applications, they are generally considered inappropriate for inclusion in a multi-channel system. The current study tested the feasibility of a multi-channel bone conduction system by measuring the localizability of spatialized auditory stimuli presented through a pair of bone conduction vibrators. Listeners localized a Gaussian noise stimulus spatialized with individualized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The sounds were presented from eight virtual locations on the horizontal plane (0, ±45, ±90, ±135, and 180°) through either stereo headphones or a stereo bone conduction system. Localization performance was found to be nearly identical for both audio systems, indicating that bone conduction systems can be effectively used for displaying spatial information.

It draws on focus groups undertaken with servicemen and servicewomen in the U.S. Army and their experiences as users with issue clothing and equipment. The article considers the ways in which broader macroconsumption experiences affect soldiers' quality of life and highlights the extent to which individual well-being is highly regulated by the institution and the collective interests. It illustrates the limited sovereignty of the soldier and argues for a more inclusive and cooperative policy to clothing and equipping soldiers as a means of improving their well-being.

Promotion of a more in-depth knowledge of science teaching efficacy requires cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations. In this study, a bi-disciplinary four-dimensional assessment is utilized to measure personal teacher efficacy, outcome expectancy, classroom management (CM), and student engagement (SE). Major findings from this study conclude that science teaching efficacy was markedly lower for science teachers with high minority class ethnicity distribution (CED) when compared with efficacy levels of teachers with high nonminority CED. Additionally, when examining efficacy dimensions separately, markedly lower mean efficacy dimension responses were consistent for teachers with high minority CED; however, only CM and SE were considered statistically different. Results were consistent for both the environmental and general science disciplines.

One area of concern for composites manufacturers is the ability to maintain dimensional tolerances throughout the process cycle. It has been well known that a thickness gradient forms during VARTM, leading to corresponding gradients in fiber volume fraction and the associated mechanical properties. In this work, the formation of these thickness gradients is investigated using an array of linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) to monitor surface displacements during infusion. SMARTweave sensors are used to correlate resin flow with the surface displacements for infusions, using either a line resin source or point resin source. Software is used to display the surface displacements as a three-dimensional plot so that the entire part surface may be visualized during infusion.

The first two experiments tested four radii, starting after 0%, 30%, 60%, or 80% of the total distance of a cursor movement was covered. In the first experiment, the force field with the largest radius was found to be the least satisfying, whereas the force field starting after 60% was the most satisfying. In the second experiment, however, the force field with the largest radius was found to be the most efficient. The third experiment presented two or more targets simultaneously and included a prediction algorithm, predicting a user's intended target. The force field starting after 30% of the path was found to be the least efficient and the least satisfying. The no-force condition was most efficient but was not rated higher than the two smallest fields.

The hypothesis regarding passive coping and the impact of job control on the demand-health relationship was not supported. That is, when peacekeepers engaged in passive coping, job control was not a statistically significant moderator of the demands-strain relationship. In understanding the impact of job control, it is especially critical to consider how individuals approach their problems under conditions of high demands.

The sample consisted of men (n = 2,114) and women (n = 1,225) surveyed for symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress. The results confirmed the hypotheses. Longer deployments and 1st-time deployments were associated with an increase in distress scores. However, the relationship between deployment length and increased distress was found only for male soldiers. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering the impact of exposure to long-term occupational stressors and confirm, in part, previous research that has demonstrated a different stress response pattern for men and women.

In some patients, periodontal disease appears in a generalized form, but more often it appears in localized areas. Furthermore, after treatment with scaling and root planing (SRP) in generalized cases, the disease is often reduced to a few local areas in the patient's mouth. Since periodontitis is a bacterial infection with known pathogenic microorganisms, the local delivery of antimicrobials has been considered to be a possible solution for treating and controlling localized forms of periodontal disease.Three current local chemotherapeutic agents are reviewed in this paper: doxycycline gel, chlorhexidine chip and minocycline microspheres. With the advancement of local drug delivery systems, clinicians and their patients have new alternatives for treatment of periodontal disease.

Family composition, location of the soldier, rank, and gender were variables used to make comparisons of how the stressors affected soldiers and their families. Results revealed that married soldiers suffered from greater stress overall than single soldiers. Lower ranking soldiers and their families were affected less by the stressors outlined in this study than higher ranking soldiers and their families. Female soldiers were influenced less by the stressors than their male counterparts. Single-parent families handled the stressors better than two parent families, and families with three or more school-age children responded better to the stress indicators than families with no children in school. On the basis of these results, clinical implications are discussed. SN - 0360-7283 AD - U.S. Army Individual Ready Reserve, U.S. Army Personnel Center, St. Louis, MO U2 - PMID: 7649507.

Several patients have been medically evacuated to hospitals in the United States and Europe. Detailed clinical data are limited on the clinical course and management of patients with EVD outside western Africa. Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and management of a cluster of patients with EVD, including the first cases of Ebola virus (EBOV) infection acquired in the United States. Design: Retrospective clinical case series. Setting: Three U.S. hospitals in September and October 2014. Patients: First imported EVD case identified in the United States and 2 secondary EVD cases acquired in the United States in critical care nurses who cared for the index case patient. Measurements: Clinical recovery, EBOV RNA level, resolution of Ebola viremia, survival with discharge from hospital, or death. Results: The index patient had high EBOV RNA levels, developed respiratory and renal failure requiring critical care support, and died. Both patients with secondary EBOV infection had nonspecific signs and symptoms and developed moderate illness; EBOV RNA levels were moderate, and both patients recovered. Limitation: Both surviving patients received uncontrolled treatment with multiple investigational agents, including convalescent plasma, which limits generalizability of the results. Conclusion: Early diagnosis, prompt initiation of supportive medical care, and moderate clinical illness likely contributed to successful outcomes in both survivors. The inability to determine the potential benefit of investigational therapies and the effect of patient-specific factors that may have contributed to less severe illness highlight the need for controlled clinical studies of these interventions, especially in the setting of a high level of supportive medical care.

We hypothesized that a prior history of instability would be a significant risk factor for subsequent injury. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study over a four-year period within a high-risk group of young athletes to address the research hypothesis. Subjects were freshmen entering the U.S. Military Academy in June of 2006. Part of the baseline assessment included documenting a prior history of glenohumeral instability on entry into the study. All subjects were followed for subsequent glenohumeral joint instability events until graduation in May of 2010. The primary outcome of interest in this study was time to glenohumeral instability event during the follow-up period. We examined injury outcomes, looking for any instability, anterior instability, and posterior instability events. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Among the 714 subjects, eight shoulders were excluded from the analyses due to prior surgical stabilization, leaving 1420 shoulders, of which 126 had a self-reported prior history of instability. There were forty-six (thirty-nine anterior and seven posterior) acute instability events documented in the cohort during the follow-up period. Subjects with a prior history of instability were over five times (p < 0.001) more likely to sustain an acute (anterior or posterior) instability event during the follow-up period. Subjects with a history of instability were also 5.6 times (p < 0.001) more likely to experience a subsequent anterior instability event and 4.6 times (p = 0.068) more likely to experience a posterior instability event during follow-up. Similar results were observed in multivariable models after controlling for the influence of demographic and baseline physical examination findings. Conclusions: Despite meeting the rigorous physical induction standards for military service, subjects with a prior history of glenohumeral joint instability were approximately five times more likely to experience a subsequent instability event, regardless of direction, within this high-risk athletic population.

Effects of this policy are not well understood. The author analyzed data from a case study of civilian mariners integrated with sailors on a US Navy ship to determine the effects of social comparisons on each group's job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intentions to remain with their current employer. Results indicate both sailors and civilian mariners view sailors as less advantaged compared to their civilian peers. The effect of these social comparisons on each group's satisfaction, commitment, and retention attitudes was mixed, having a significant negative impact for sailors but not for civilian mariners. These results identify an unintended negative consequence of the decision to integrate civilian and military personnel in an operational unit. The article discusses the way civilian mariners were integrated as a possible reason for the differential effect of social comparisons between the two groups.

Shinseki of publicly challenging administration policy in his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee in 2003 in a way that "improvised in areas such as war-fighting and diplomacy beyond his official purview," contradicted the combatant commander, aided the French, abetted the Democrats, emboldened Saddam Hussein, and damaged American civil-military relations because it dismissed the policymakers' "right to be wrong." Shinseki did none of these things, including publicly challenging administration policy. This article provides some historical corrective and context for this debate. It examines Shinseki's options and argues that, rather than damaging civilian control, Shinseki protected it through acts of commission and omission and through forthrightness and restraint toward both sets of his civilian masters enumerated in the Constitution to control the military, the executive and the legislative branches of government.

Blacks also have higher rates of drowning and are underrepresented in competitive swimming and in occupations requiring swimming or water safety skill. In this study, physiological, demographic, and biodata measures were used with military academy cadets to determine the individual factors contributing to within-group swimming proficiency among Blacks as well as Whites. The best predictor of swimming skill was the age at which the cadets had learned to swim. Other items pointed to fitness, sociocultural, and learned or dispositional differences between better and poorer swimmers. Implications for increasing swimming proficiency among Blacks and for future research are discussed.

Interpersonal ratings, job performance ratings, and ratee scores on ability, job knowledge, and technical proficiency were available for 493-631 first-tour U.S. Army soldiers. Results of supervisor and peer ratings-path models showed ratee ability, knowledge, and proficiency accounted for 13% of the variance in supervisor performance ratings and 7% for the peer ratings. Among the interpersonal variables, ratee dependability had the strongest effect for both models. Ratee friendliness and likability had little effect on the performance ratings. Inclusion of the interpersonal factors increased the variance accounted for in the ratings to 28% and 19%, respectively. Discussion focuses on the relative contribution of ratee technical and contextual performance to raters' judgments.

The models were tested on a sample of 4,362 U.S. Army enlisted personnel in nine different jobs. Results of LISREL analyses showed partial confirmation of Hunter's (1983) earlier model, which included cognitive ability, job knowledge, task proficiency. and ratings. In an expanded model of supervisory ratings including the other variables mentioned, technical proficiency and rake problem behavior had substantial direct effects on supervisory ratings. Ratee ability, job knowledge, and dependability played strong indirect roles in this rating model. The expanded model accounted for more than twice the variance in ratings in the present research than did Hunter's variables alone.

The foundation of this general leadership theory is the Army's "Be, Know, Do" (BKD) model of leader development (LD). While the BKD model has many elements in common with more well-known academic approaches to leadership and LD, the BKD model has some distinctive emphases that set it apart from these more conventional treatments. This article examines the BKD model, evaluating its strengths and limitations, and then suggests how organizations interested in leadership development might adapt the model to their own particular circumstances.

A closed form model is developed to predict the TTU amplitude of a fusion bond using an ultrasonic wave propagation theory with a model for the evolution of intimate contact at the material interfaces. This new approach treats the attenuation of sensor response due to imperfect contact at the bond interface as a statistical averaging of the transmission coefficients for each of the possible sound paths between source and receiver. The results of experimental and model-based parametric studies show that the intimately contacting path dominates the overall signal behavior. An approximation of the full model for an arbitrary number of interfaces based on these results is derived.

The P2C technique allows for rapid consolidation of powder by Joule heating of the powder bed. Powder is placed in graphite dies, and uniaxial pressure and low-voltage, high-amperage (10 V, 5000 amps maximum) direct current are applied to achieve densification. Pure B4C powder was consolidated at lower temperature and hold time to densities equal to those achieved by conventional hot pressing. With the addition of a small amount of alumina (Al2O3) as a sintering aid, densities as high as 97% theoretical were attained.

In addition to item subject matter, perceived invasiveness of items was related to various biodata attributes, in that items that were more verifiable, more transparent in purpose, and more impersonal were seen as less invasive. Subjects with more positive attitudes toward biodata and organizational selection measures viewed fewer items as invasive, as did those with more education. Dispositional variables and gender were related to invasiveness perceptions in some samples. Four general motives or topics were determined to generate the greatest concern: fear of stigmatization, concern about having applicants recall traumatic events, intimacy, and religion. The results may help develop consensus about defining ‘invasive’ and contribute to ways of reducing perceptions of invasiveness.

The biodata correlates of organizational identification were assessed with a sample of 2,535 new U.S. Army recruits. Four biodata factors emerged: activities involving outdoor work or pastimes; a dependable, non-delinquent, lifestyle reflecting socialization to institutional expectations; a general preference for group attachments; and diligent involvement in intellectual pastimes. Results with a subset of 1,082 recruits revealed that both OID and the biodata antecedents predicted subsequent attrition across 6 time periods spanning 6 to 24 months. Results also revealed relatively high OID among the recruits.

The first was a quasi-rational attempt to derive biodata analogs to an existing temperament measure, and then use them as rational scales. The second was a theory-based variant of criterion-referenced keying, termed rainforest empiricism. Both were utilized with two consecutive classes of U.S. Military Academy cadets (n= 2,565) to predict leadership performance over four rating periods. The biodata analogs to the temperament measure added incremental validity over the Academy's current admissions package and had significantly smaller correlations with a social desirability scale than their equivalent temperament scales. Scales developed with the rainforest approach had higher incremental validities and lower social desirability. Both methods demonstrated satisfactory stability upon cross-validation, and provided complementary interpretability. Advantages to each approach, and the implications for their use, are discussed.

JO - Personnel Psychology JF - Personnel Psychology Y1 - 1991///Winter91 VL - 44 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 763 EP - 792 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00315826 AB - There is considerable disagreement among researchers regarding the defining attributes of biodata items, especially in contrast to other self-report measures. This paper provides a conceptual rationale for the use of biodata in order to evaluate various proposed attributes of biodata, and to clarify similarities and differences between biodata and temperament items. It is suggested that the core attribute of biodata items is that the items pertain to historical events that may have shaped the person's behavior and identity. Other attributes advanced as antidotes to socially desirable responding and faking are that biodata items reflect external events, that they be limited to objective and first-hand recollections, that they be potentially verifiable, and that they measure discrete, unique events when appropriate. Some researchers also require that the life events being sampled be controllable and equally accessible to all respondents. Items may also need to be visibly job relevant and nonintrusive to avoid legal censure. Disagreements among researchers regarding the importance of these attributes are discussed, and implications for practice and research are proposed.

Findings from two federal agencies have shown a significant reduction in both the time required to conduct a design review and the number of required participating parties. An economic analysis of the impact of Web collaboration on the design review process done for U.S. Corps of Engineers projects indicates that using the Web for design review collaboration provides a 73% savings in meeting time and travel cost.

A relatively recent technique to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) beams in flexure uses fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips or sheets glued to the tension side of the beam. A number of researchers have reported that the failure mode of an FRP-strengthened RC beam can change from the desired ductile mode of an underreinforced beam to a brittle one. This paper analyzes the effects of this strengthening technique on the response and failure modes of a reference RC beam. A nonlinear RC beam element model with bond-slip between the concrete and the FRP plate is used to study how the failure mechanism of simply supported strengthened RC beams is affected by the following parameters: plate length, plate width, plate stiffness, and loading type. The beam geometry is kept constant. The parametric studies confirm the experimentally observed results according to which the most commonly observed failure modes due to loss of composite actions are affected by the plate geometric and material properties. In addition, distributed loads (difficult to apply in an experimental test) may not be as sensitive to plate debonding in the region of maximum bending moment as are beams subjected to point loads.

A statistical measure which may be used to test the hypothesis that the forecasts provide an accurate picture of the structure of the labour market is used. The statistical measure is based on information theory. The results were mixed with respect to the hypothesis, with the conclusions depending on the extent to which the data were rounded, i.e. the accuracy which was expected. Although there have been a significant number of evaluations of short-term economic forecasts, there have been few studies which have examined longer term predictions. A criterion which a long term forecast should meet has been suggested. It should present a statistically accurate picture of the structure of a market, industry, or the economy at a distant point in the future. A technique which could be used in evaluating long-term forecasts is proposed. This technique did not focus on the exact quantitative difference between the actual and predicted values. Rather, the distributions of the data were used.

The 2001 Global Leadership Conference explored the misalignment between the value that organizations say they place on leader development and the leader development activities that they actually engage in and reinforce. There were several conclusions. First, leader development activities are critical to organizational success. Second, leader development programs must be grounded in a framework of developmental theories and principles. Third, an organizational culture that reinforces leader development is crucial for such initiatives to succeed. This theoretical article discusses the conditions necessary for successful leader development, the impediments that many organizations must address, and ways in which consulting psychologists can facilitate the process of creating and implementing a leader development program.

These are examined in the chronological order in which they developed in the food field. Product quality is still the most common usage of the term quality and originated in quality assurance/quality control with its focus on defect avoidance and conformance to specifications. Consumer perceptions of quality are a newer view of quality, although some writers argue that all judgments of quality are consumer-based in the end. The consumer view of quality underscores that quality is relative and situational. Service quality is the newest dimension of quality to be considered. It is argued that food quality in the food service environment should consider both food quality and service quality. A number of conclusions for consideration of food quality are presented.

In this study volume, Huntington maintained that the army between the Civil War and World War I was isolated physically, politically, intellectually, and socially from the rest of American society. He advocates that main cause of this isolation in a prevalent "business pacifism" that disparaged the military as a waster of economic resources and as an authoritarian threat to the initiative and enterprise essential to the American way of life. Army officers have achieved professionalization largely by subordinating the so-called "technicism" and politics to the science of war, thereby separating the military expert from the layman. In the process of shifting the burden of causuality away from isolation, however, they have overemphasized the importance of social interaction and values that army officers and civilians shared.

Operation Desert Shield placed forces in an unfamiliar environment and an unaccustomed situation. Not only were the soldiers forced to learn to live and work under the harsh conditions imposed by the Saudi desert, but also they were to prepare for combat that, at least in the minds of these soldiers, was clearly imminent. This article reports observations made by two sociologists who had interviewed and lived with some of those soldiers and their wives for a short period of time in November 1990. Because Desert Shield became Desert Storm in January 1991 when the prewar deployment changed to a wartime environment, these observations provide the first sociological research on U.S. soldiers in a forward-deployed status in a precombat situation since Stouffer's classic World War II studies, and the very first research on a U.S. army so deployed that was comprised of volunteers who were integrated with respect to both race and gender.

According to the author military services have experienced unprecedented success in attracting high quality men and women to their ranks. However attracting and retaining high quality personnel entails additional costs, and as the services shrink over the next several years questions will arise about whether they should expend resources to maintain or increase force quality. Pressures are already mounting to slash pay and recruiting budgets, cuts which would adversely affect quality. The traditional approach to such a resource allocation in question has been to employ cost-effectiveness analysis. Cost effectiveness analysis attempts to determine whether the inputs are being combined in a manner such that a specified level of output or effectiveness is achieved at the lowest possible cost given current technology. Cost-effectiveness analyses can only determine whether one is being efficient in producing a certain level of output. In particular, these analyses do not attempt to determine what the "correct' level of output should be.

R. Murphy, 1989). In the maintenance sample, conscientiousness and extraversion were positively associated with between-person differences in total sales, whereas only conscientiousness predicted performance growth. In the transitional sample, agreeableness and openness to experience predicted overall performance differences and performance trends. All effects remained significant with job tenure statistically controlled. Possible explanations for these findings are offered, and theoretical and practical implications of findings are discussed.

The authors hypothesized that (a) safer drivers more accurately assess physical and emotional traffic hazards and (b) stress and emotional states elevate crash risk. The hypotheses were evaluated with procedural and declarative tacit driving knowledge tests requiring assessment of emotional and contextual hazards and with accident reports describing crash antecedents, including stressful events and environmental conditions. Analyses identified separate driving knowledge factors corresponding to emotional and contextual hazards that were significantly related to the crash criteria. Accident report analyses show that stress significantly elevates at-fault crash risk. The results demonstrate the importance of experiential knowledge acquired without instruction (procedural or tacit knowledge) and provide safety recommendations.

T. Austin & H. J. Klein, 1996; R. Kanfer, 1990b, 1992) have urged researchers to examine comprehensive models of distal individual differences as predictors of proximal motivational processes and performance. Two field studies in an academic setting tested a model of relationships among trait-like individual differences (cognitive ability, general self-efficacy, and goal orientation), state-like individual differences (state anxiety, task-specific self-efficacy, and goals), and learning performance. Most hypothesized relationships among these constructs received support when tested on 2 samples, when examining different performance episodes, and when using different goal orientation and state-anxiety measures. In general, state-like individual differences were found to mediate the relationships between trait-like individual differences and learning performance. Implications of these results are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.

Some investigators have argued that the use of more highly focused job, work and organization facets can reveal patterns not captured by more global measures, and thus resolve some of these contradictory results. Using a sample of almost 1200 Singaporeans, the current study first examined the relationship between quit intentions and global measures of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, within each of four groups (male non-managers, male managers, female non-managers and female managers). As hypothesized, the global measures were highly and similarly correlated to an individual's intention to quit in all four groups, suggesting no gender/job-level effects. However, when we substituted a set of eleven specific facet measures in place of the two global measures, a unique facet pattern for each group emerged, as hypothesized. Discussion centred on some cautions in interpreting the research and the need for fully developed theoretical models to guide facet research.

This emerging evidence suggests that a new thrust of TQM encompasses and integrates many elements of organizational development and change theory. During the early twentieth century, the concept of scientific management developed by Frederick Taylor sought to increase productivity by analyzing and then standardizing each step of the production process. While workers were consulted in designing the standard or most efficient work processes, management was responsible for productivity and quality. At about the same time, Henri Fayol devised the first comprehensive theory of management. It was intended to be universally applicable to all organizations, although it required some modification when used in the public sector which Fayol called enterprises having no monetary objectives. While he made no mention of quality or customer expectations, Fayol did recognize the importance of a planning process that includes worker participation.

To do this, a 1990 survey of U.S. Army physicians assigned to William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, was examines. The profile of physicians who responded to the survey closely mirrors the profile of military physicians at large. The results report that there are important factors other than just pay to Army physician retention. Total compensation is cited by fewer physicians than obligation due to medical school/training, service to country, overall job satisfaction, family/ personal reasons, retirement benefits or working hours as major reasons for staying in service. Similar patterns are observable in physician responses to the question asking them to identify the single most important factor for staying in. Total compensation ranks behind obligation due to medical school/training, overall job satisfaction, family/personal reasons, and other reasons as the single most important reason for remaining in the Army. Just 5.4% identified total compensation as the single most important reason; 0.9% identified special pay and none identified base pay. These results suggest that the U.S. Congress should reexamine its approach of trying to improve Army physician retention by pay mechanisms alone.

This article examines a number of these undertakings to illustrate how they function as role-expansion mechanisms, and how they implicitly define five role characteristics generally reflective of a proactive employee. While job and task competence, interpersonal effectiveness, and organizational orientation have always been associated with the employee role, the other two role characteristics—enterprising qualities and personal integrity—represent relatively new expectations. These new demands raise some important issues for firms and managers, centered on differences associated with the firm's, the manager's, and the employee's expectations regarding the use of judgment and initiative. The article examines some implications of these differences, discusses person-environment fit considerations, and proposes recommendations for handling the problem. It concludes with a discussion of how the continuing evolution of the employee role blurs the traditional line between manager and employee, and how this affects the traditional managerial role.

We discuss the logic underlying the traditional test band methodology and show that it is consistent with conceptual models of the validation process as used by personnel psychologists. We also examine the alternative banding procedure suggested by Aguinis et al. and identify several problems with this procedure.

In a military training situation, we tested the hypothesis that high self-esteem individuals would overreact to ego threats and predispose themselves to failure. Cadets were given false feedback from a leadership test and subsequently attempted grenade tosses in which they selected the distance they would try. Consistent with expectations, an interaction appeared between self-esteem and ego threat such that high self-esteem cadets who received ego-threatening feedback selected more difficult targets than low self-esteem cadets, leading to marginally reduced accuracy. When not receiving an ego threat, results suggested relatively equal performance by high and low self-esteem cadets.

Insitu biodegradation is a promising technology for remediating RDX contaminated sites but often relies on the addition of a cosubstrate. A sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated froman RDX-degrading enrichment culture was studied for its ability to grow on RDX as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen and for its ability to mineralize RDX in the absence of a cosubstrate. The results showed the isolate degraded 140 μM RDX in 63 days when grown on RDX as a carbon source. Biomass within the carbon limited culture increased 9- fold compared to the RDX unamended controls. When the isolate was incubated with RDX as sole source of nitrogen it degraded 160 lM RDX in 41 days and exhibited a 4-fold increase in biomass compared to RDX unamended controls. Radiolabeled studies under carbon limiting conditions with 14C-hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine confirmed mineralization of the cyclic nitramine. After 60 days incubation 26% of the radiolabel was recovered as 14CO2, while in the control bottles less than 1% of the radiolabel was recovered as 14CO2. Additionally, ~2% of the radiolabeled carbon was found to be associated with the biomass. The 16S rDNAgene was sequenced and identified the isolate as a novel species of Desulfovibrio, having a 95.1% sequence similarity to Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. This is the first known anaerobic bacterium capable of mineralizing RDX when using it as a carbon and energy source for growth.

The prevalence of obesity continues to rise in both developed and developing nations. An association between iron status and obesity has been described in children and adults. The mechanism explaining this relationship remains unknown; however, findings from recent reports suggest that body mass index and inflammation predict iron absorption and affect the response to iron fortification. The relationship between inflammation and iron absorption may be mediated by hepcidin, although further studies will be required to confirm this potential physiological explanation for the increased prevalence of iron deficiency in the obese.

The dispersed UV-LIF spectra are measured by a 32-anode PMT detector with spectral coverage from 280-600 nm. The PFS represents a significant improvement over our previous apparatus [Pinnick et al., Atmos. Environ. 2004, 38, 1657] and can (1) measure fluorescence spectra of bacterial particles having light-scattering sizes as small as 1 urn (previously limited to about 3 μm) and so can measure particles with size in the range of 1-10 μm, (2) measure each particle's elastic scattering which can be used to estimate particle size (not available previously), (3) measure single-particle fluorescence spectra with a laser and detector that can record spectra as fast as 90,000/s, although the highest rates we have found experimentally in atmospheric measurements is only several hundred per second (previously limited by detectors to only 25/s), and (4) provide a time stamp for a data block of spectra with time resolution from 10 ms to 10 mm. In addition, the PFS has been modified to be more robust, transportable, and smaller. The use of an aerodynamic-focusing sheath inlet nozzle assembly has improved the sample rate. The PFS has been employed to measure UV-LIF spectra from individual atmospheric particles during October-December 2006 and January-May 2008 in New Haven, CT, and during January-May 2007 in Las Cruces, NM.

In general, there was good agreement between the predicted properties of Fe(III)-DFO-B and previously published experimental and theoretical results. The predicted fractionation factor for equilibrium between Fe(III)-DFO-B and Fe(III)-catecholate at 22°C, 0.68±0.25‰, was in good agreement with a previously measured isotopic difference between bacterial cells and solution during the bacterial-mediated dissolution of hornblende [Brantley S. L., Liermann L. and Bullen T. D. (2001) Fractionation of Fe isotopes by soil microbes and organic acids. Geology 29, 535–538]. Conceptually, this agreement is consistent with the notion that Fe is first removed from mineral surfaces via complexation with small organic acids (e.g., oxalate), subsequently sequestered by DFO-B in solution, and ultimately delivered to bacterial cells by Fe(III)-DFO-B complexes. The ability of DFO-B to discriminate between Fe(III) and Fe(II)/Al(III) was investigated with Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis and geometry calculations of each metal-DFO-B complex. The results indicated that higher affinity for Fe(III) is not strictly a function of bond length but also the degree of Fe–O covalent bonding.

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that detects internal attacks by using both message and route redundancy during route discovery. The route-discovery messages are protected by pairwise secret keys between a source and destination and some intermediate nodes along a route established by using public key cryptographic mechanisms. We also propose an optimal routing algorithm with routing metric combining both requirements on a node's trustworthiness and performance. A node builds up the trustworthiness on its neighboring nodes based on its observations on the behaviors of the neighbor nodes. Both of the proposed algorithms can be integrated into existing routing protocols for MANETs, such as ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) and dynamic source routing (DSR). As an example, we present such an integrated protocol called secure routing against collusion (SRAC), in which a node makes a routing decision based on its trust of its neighboring nodes and the performance provided by them. The simulation results have demonstrated the significant advantages of the proposed attack detection and routing algorithm over some known protocols.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 367 EP - 380 SN - 00189545 AB - Wireless platforms are becoming less expensive and more powerful, enabling the promise of widespread use for every- thing from health monitoring to military sensing. Like other networks, sensor networks are vulnerable to malicious attack. However, the hardware simplicity of these devices makes defense mechanisms designed for traditional networks infeasible. This paper explores the denial-of-sleep attack, in which a sensor node's power supply is targeted. Attacks of this type can reduce the sensor lifetime from years to days and have a devastating impact on a sensor network. This paper classifies sensor network denial-of-sleep attacks in terms of an attacker's knowledge of the medium access control (MAC) layer protocol and ability to bypass authentication and encryption protocols. Attacks from each classification are then modeled to show the impacts on four sensor network MAC protocols, i.e., Sensor MAC (S-MAC), Timeout MAC (T-MAC), Berkeley MAC (B-MAC), and Gateway MAC (G-MAC). Implementations of selected attacks on S-MAC, T-MAC, and B-MAC are described and analyzed in detail to validate their effectiveness and analyze their efficiency. Our analysis shows that the most efficient attack on S-MAC can keep a cluster of nodes awake 100% of the time by an attacker that sleeps 99% of the time. Attacks on T-MAC can keep victims awake 100% of the time while the attacker sleeps 92% of the time. A framework for preventing denial-of-sleep attacks in sensor networks is also introduced. With full protocol knowledge and an ability to penetrate link-layer encryption, all wireless sensor network MAC protocols are susceptible to a full domination attack, which reduces the network lifetime to the mini- mum possible by maximizing the power consumption of the nodes' radio subsystem. Even without the ability to penetrate encryption, subtle attacks can be launched, which reduce the network lifetime by orders of magnitude. If sensor networks are to meet current expectations, they must be robust in the face of network attacks to include denial-of-sleep.

T1 - Free radical production from the interaction of 2-chloroethyl vesicants (mustard gas) with pyridine nucleotide-driven flavoprotein electron transport systems JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 234 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 128 EP - 134 SN - 0041008X AB - Abstract: The biochemical sequelae to chloroethyl mustard exposure correspond very well to toxic processes initiated by free radicals. Additionally, mustard solutions contain spontaneously formed cyclic onium ions which produce carbon free radicals when reduced electrochemically. Therefore, we hypothesized that the onium ions of sulfur or nitrogen mustards might produce carbon free radicals upon being reduced enzymatically, and that these radicals might constitute a metabolic activation. We set out to document radical production using an in vitro metabolic system and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Our system consisted of NADPH, one of several pyridine nucleotide-driven flavoprotein reductases, cytochrome c as a terminal electron acceptor, various sulfur or nitrogen mustards and the spin trap α-[4-pyridyl-1-oxide]-N-tert-butylnitrone in buffer. Reactions were started by adding the reductase to the other materials, vortexing and immediately transferring the mixture to a 10 mm EPR flat cell. Repeated scans on a Bruker ESP 300E EPR spectrometer produced a triplet of doublets with hyperfine splitting constants of a N =15.483 G and a H =2.512 G. The outcome supported our hypothesis that carbon-centered free radicals are produced when mustard-related onium ions are enzymatically reduced. The EPR results varied little with the chloroethyl compound used or with porcine or human cytochrome P450 reductase, the reductase domain of rat brain neuronal nitric oxide synthase or rat liver thioredoxin reductase. Our results offer new insight into the basis for mustard-induced vesication and the outcome of exposure to different mustards. The free radical model provides an explanation for similarities in the lesions arising from mustard exposure and energy-based lesions such as those from heat, ultraviolet and nuclear radiation as well as damage across tissue types such as skin, eyes or airway epithelium.

T1 - Effect of iron on durability of nickel-based catalysts in auto-thermal reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production JO - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy JF - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy Y1 - 2008/12/15/ VL - 33 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 7448 EP - 7456 SN - 03603199 AB - Abstract: Iron-promoted nickel-based catalysts were prepared by impregnation, tested in auto-thermal reforming (ATR) of ethanol for hydrogen production, and characterized by TPR, XRD, BET, TEM, and XPS. With the introduction of iron, mixed crystals of NiAl2O4–FeAl2O4 spinel phase are formed, which results in modifications of its structural and electronic properties. The reaction results show a remarkable improvement on durability in catalytic activity as well as selectivity to hydrogen in ATR: over the 10wt.% iron-loading nickel catalyst, conversion of ethanol at 99.61% and selectivity of hydrogen around 115% are kept at 600°C during a 30-h test, while that of iron-free sample decreases sharply from 85.10% to 19.71% on hydrogen selectivity within a 26-h test. The improved durability is attributed to the synergistic effect of the NiAl2O4–FeAl2O4 mixed crystals that are more resistant to sintering and oxidation in the oxidative atmosphere of ATR.

A vaccine based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) seems to be particularly robust as it can also confer protection when administered as a postexposure treatment. While filoviruses are not thought to be transmitted by aerosol in nature the inhalation route is among the most likely portals of entry in the setting of a bioterrorist event. At present, all candidate filoviral vaccines have been evaluated against parenteral challenges but none have been tested against an aerosol exposure. Here, we evaluated our recombinant VSV-based Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) vaccines against aerosol challenge in cynomolgus macaques. All monkeys vaccinated with a VSV vector expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV were completely protected against an aerosol exposure of ZEBOV. Likewise, all monkeys vaccinated with a VSV vector expressing the glycoprotein of MARV were completely protected against an aerosol exposure of MARV. All control animals challenged by the aerosol route with either ZEBOV or MARV succumbed. Interestingly, disease in control animals appeared to progress slower than previously seen in macaques exposed to comparable doses by intramuscular injection.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2008/12// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 109 EP - 123 SN - 10515658 AB - The N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) degradation rate and mineralization rate were measured in two aquifer sediments that received treatments to create oxic, reducing, and sequential reducing/oxic environments. Chemically reduced sediments rapidly abiotically degraded NDMA to nontoxic dimethylamine to parts per trillion levels, then degraded to further products. NDMA was partially mineralized in reduced sediments (6 to 28 percent) at a slow rate (half-life 3,460 h) by an unknown abiotic/biotic pathway. In contrast, NDMA was mineralized more rapidly (half-life 342 h) and to a greater extent (30 to 81 percent) in oxic sediments with propane addition, likely by a propane monooxygenase pathway. NDMA mineralization in sequential reduced sediment followed by oxic sediment treatment did result in slightly more rapid mineralization and a greater mineralization extent relative to reduced systems. These increases were minor, so aerobic NDMA mineralization with oxygen and propane addition was the most viable in situ NDMA mineralization strategy. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Because the DSSAT models are written to simulate crop growth and development within a homogenous unit of land, the Apollo DSS has specialized functions to manage running the DSSAT models to simulate and analyze spatially variable land and management. The DSS has modules that allow the user to build model input files for spatial simulations across predefined management zones, calibrate the models to simulate historic spatial yield variability, validate the models for seasons not used for calibration, and estimate the crop response and environmental impacts of nitrogen, plant population, cultivar, and irrigation prescriptions. This paper details the functionality of Apollo, and presents the results of an example application.

Altogether, 5,878 kelts were collected, tagged with passive integrated transponder tags, and assigned to transported or in-river treatment groups at Lower Granite Dam (n = 5,320 [2002-2004]) on the Snake River and John Day Dam (n = 558 [2002]) on the Columbia River. Returns of repeat spawners differed by site and year: 11.1% (62/558) for the John Day Dam sample and 1.4% (27/1,959), 0.5% (6/1, 241), and 0.8% (17/2, 120) for the Lower Granite Dam samples in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. Transportation tests indicated that kelts transported from the Snake River were approximately 2.3 times more likely to return than fish allowed to migrate in-river. Transport benefits were greatest for wild-origin female kelts, a demographic with high conservation value. There was no significant benefit for kelts transported from John Day Dam, although transported fish returned at a slighter higher rate (1.1 times). Comparisons between treatment groups (in-river versus transport) and locations (Snake River versus Columbia River) indicated that the greatest potential transport benefit may be for Snake River kelts owing to the population's low overall iteroparity rate and numerous potential kelt collection sites. The small sample sizes of returning fish limited our ability to examine more complex trends and environmental effects on return rates. Additional research is needed to fully evaluate the efficacy of kelt transportation in the context of regional steelhead recovery efforts.

People do this knowing that their property may be flooded, if not totally destroyed, by raging waters and accompanying debris, however, many do not fully understand and appreciate that risk. As a result, each year on average observes increasing property damage, more lives being threatened and increased degradation of floodplain ecological functions. It can be argued that with regard to floodplain development governmental policies are not preventing it, indeed, they may be facilitating it.

T1 - Changes in contaminant mass discharge from DNAPL source mass depletion: Evaluation at two field sites JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2008/11/14/ VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 140 EP - 153 SN - 01697722 AB - Abstract: Changes in contaminant fluxes resulting from aggressive remediation of dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zone were investigated at two sites, one at Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah, and the other at Ft. Lewis Military Reservation, Washington. Passive Flux Meters (PFM) and a variation of the Integral Pumping Test (IPT) were used to measure fluxes in ten wells installed along a transect down-gradient of the trichloroethylene (TCE) source zone, and perpendicular to the mean groundwater flow direction. At both sites, groundwater and contaminant fluxes were measured before and after the source-zone treatment. The measured contaminant fluxes (J; ML−2T−1) were integrated across the well transect to estimate contaminant mass discharge (M D; MT−1) from the source zone. Estimated M D before source treatment, based on both PFM and IPT methods, were ~76 g/day for TCE at the Hill AFB site; and ~640 g/day for TCE, and ~206 g/day for cis-dichloroethylene (DCE) at the Ft. Lewis site. TCE flux measurements made 1 year after source treatment at the Hill AFB site decreased to ~5 g/day. On the other hand, increased fluxes of DCE, a degradation byproduct of TCE, in tests subsequent to remediation at the Hill AFB site suggest enhanced microbial degradation after surfactant flooding. At the Ft. Lewis site, TCE mass discharge rates subsequent to remediation decreased to ~3 g/day for TCE and ~3 g/day for DCE ~1.8 years after remediation. At both field sites, PFM and IPT approaches provided comparable results for contaminant mass discharge rates, and show significant reductions (>90%) in TCE mass discharge as a result of DNAPL mass depletion from the source zone.

An important factor in selecting or developing an effective treatment is to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing. This study used a weanling swine burn model and microarray analysis to evaluate the effect of exposure length and sampling times on the transcriptional changes in response to cutaneous bromine injury. Ventral abdominal sites (N =4/treatment group) were exposed to 600μL undiluted bromine for 45s or 8min. At 24h and 7d post-exposure, total RNA from skin samples was isolated, processed, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® Porcine Genome Arrays. Expression analysis revealed that bromine exposure duration appeared to have less effect on the transcript changes than the sampling time. The percent transcripts changed at 24h were similar (30%) whether having a 45s or 8min bromine exposure; percent transcripts changed at 7d were also similar (62%) regardless of exposure length. However, only 13–14% of the transcripts were similar when comparing samples analyzed at 24h and 7d. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed six common biological functions among the top 10 functions of each experimental group, while canonical pathway analysis revealed 11 genes that were commonly shared among 24 significantly altered signaling pathways. Additionally, there were 11 signaling pathways in which there were no commonly shared transcripts. The present study is an initial assessment of the transcriptional responses to cutaneous bromine exposure identifying molecular networks and genes that could serve as targets for developing therapeutics for bromine-induced skin injury.

In agencies that are responsible for health risk decision-making, data (and/or opinions/judgments) are obtained from sources such as scientific literature, analytical and process measurements, expert elicitation, inspection findings, and public and private research institutions. Although the particulars of conducting health risk assessments of given disciplines may be dramatically different, a common concern is the subjective nature of judging data utility. Often risk assessors are limited to available data that may not be completely appropriate to address the question being asked. Data utility refers to the ability of available data to support a risk-based decision for a particular risk assessment. This article familiarizes the audience with the concept of data utility and is intended to raise the awareness of data collectors (e.g., researchers), risk assessors, and risk managers to data utility issues in health risk assessments so data collection and use will be improved. In order to emphasize the cross-cutting nature of data utility, the discussion has not been organized into a classical partitioning of risk assessment concerns as being either human health- or ecological health-oriented, as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Program.

In order to separate NDVI contributions of the dominant-codominate crown class from that of the understory, two P. taeda 1 ha plots centered in planted stands of ages 19 and 23 years with similar crown closures (71 percent) were analyzed for in situ LAI and NDVI differences following a complete understory removal at the peak period of LAI. Understory vegetation was removed from both stands using mechanical harvest and herbicide application in late July and early August 2002. Ikonos data was acquired both prior and subsequent to understory removal and were evaluated for NDVI response. Total vegetative biomass removed under the canopies was estimated using the Tracing Radiation and Architecture of Canopies (TRAC) instrument combined with digital hemispherical photography (DHP). Within-image NDVI change detection analysis (cDA) on the Virginia site showed that the percentage of removed understory (LAI) detected by the Ikonos sensor was 5.0 percent when compared to an actual in situ LAI reduction of 10.0 percent. The North Carolina site results showed a smaller percentage of reduced understory LAI detected by the Ikonos sensor (1.8 percent) when compared to the actual LAI reduction as measured in situ (17.4 percent). Image-to-image NDVI CDA proved problematic due to the time period between the Ikonos image collections (2.5 to 3 months). Sensor and solar position differences between the two collections, along with pine LAI increases through multiple needle flush, exaggerated NDVI reductions when compared to in situ data.

The binding mechanisms involving adsorption and the cation-exchange process have also been investigated. Characterization of biosorbent through a scanning electron microscope revealed no major surface deformity resulting from the chemical treatment. X-ray photo electron spectroscopy was also used to determine the presence of exchangeable cations in the sorbent and the speciation of bound chromium, cadmium, and mercury. The maximum sorption capacity (millimoles/gram) obtained from the Langmuir model for Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ were 0.286, 0.147, 0.226, 0.181, 0.196, 0.189, 0.219, and 0.248, respectively. Interpretation of Dahlquist (1978) and Scatchard (1949) was also used for the binding site heterogeneity. The unique ability of the biosorbent to bind nine different metals has been attributed to the presence of surface heterogeneity and Ca2+ ions, which attract and sequester metal ions. Biosorption results are useful for the development of low-cost biosorbent.

Metal hydride alloys offer one potential solution. However, for metal hydride tanks to become a viable hydrogen storage option, the dynamic performance of practical tank geometries and configurations must be understood and incorporated into fuel cell system analyses. A dynamic, axially-symmetric, multi-nodal metal hydride tank model has been created in Matlab–Simulink® as an initial means of providing insight and analysis capabilities for the dynamic performance of commercially available metal hydride systems. Following the original work of Mayer et al. [Mayer U, Groll M, Supper W. Heat and mass transfer in metal hydride reaction beds: experimental and theoretical results. Journal of the Less-Common Metals 1987;131:235–44], this model employs first principles heat transfer and fluid flow mechanisms together with empirically derived reaction kinetics. Energy and mass balances are solved in cylindrical polar coordinates for a cylindrically shaped tank. The model tank temperature, heat release, and storage volume have been correlated to an actual metal hydride tank for static and transient absorption and desorption processes. A sensitivity analysis of the model was accomplished to identify governing physics and to identify techniques to lessen the computational burden for ease of use in a larger system model. The sensitivity analysis reveals the basis and justification for model simplifications that are selected. Results show that the detailed and simplified models both well predict observed stand-alone metal hydride tank dynamics, and an example of a reversible fuel cell system model incorporating each tank demonstrates the need for model simplification.

We demonstrate stable and continuous ejection for more than 10 minutes of 14-μ m droplets containing 1-μ m polystyrene latex (PSL) particles at a concentration of 1% solids. There was no indication of clogging. We have demonstrated ejection of droplets containing PSL at rates up to 3,000 droplets/s (90,000 1-μ m-PSL particles/s). This method should produce, at a known rate, (1) uniform particles of known volume when the particles are soluble in the liquid and/or (2) particles with a statistical distribution (e.g., Poisson distribution) when the particles are aggregates of primary particles. The method should be useful for aerosol generation systems requiring no volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Its near universal applicability coupled with its pinpoint accuracy for suppressing target proteins has altered the landscape of many fields. While there is considerable intellectual investment in therapeutics, its potential extends far beyond. In this review, we explore some of these emerging applications—metabolic engineering for enhancing recombinant protein production in both insect and mammalian cell systems, antisense technologies in bacteria as next generation antibiotics, and RNAi in plant biotechnology for improving productivity and nutritional value.

The effects of temperature on the evolution of soot precursors were observed just prior and subsequent to soot onset. Liquid ethylbenzene was prevaporized in nitrogen and blended with an oxygen–nitrogen mixture and, upon ignition, premixed flat flames were stabilized over a burner at atmospheric pressure. Three flames at the same fuel-to-air equivalence ratio () but with different temperature profiles were obtained by regulating the total heat loss from the flame to the burner, as a result of altering the cold gas velocity of the reacting gases through the burner. A 100-K spread was detected among the three flame temperature profiles. The coolest flame was slightly sooting, the intermediate temperature flame was at the visible onset of sooting, and the hottest flame was not sooting. Combustion products were sampled at various heights in these flames. CO and CO2 mole fractions were found to increase with temperature, supporting the hypothesis that with increasing temperature the rate of oxidation reactions increases faster than the rate of soot formation reactions. Again supporting the same hypothesis, the mole fractions of at least some of the suspected soot precursor hydrocarbons decreased with increasing temperature. Similarly, both the number and the concentrations of detected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and oxygenated aromatic hydrocarbons were highest in the slightly sooting, i.e., the coolest flame. This flame also had the highest condensed phase/gaseous phase PAH ratio among the three flames. However, whereas in all three flames the mole fractions of PAH were disparate in the broad neighborhood of the flame zone, they converged to similar values in the postflame zone at 7 mm height from the surface of the burner. Experimentally obtained mole fractions of effluent species were compared with predictions from a detailed kinetic model.

The model species is Vallisneria americana (American wildcelery) and the model name is VALLA. The model describes major, carbon flow-based ecophysiological processes and biomass dynamics of a common plant species. The model contains unique descriptions of: (1) species-characteristic vertical distribution of shoot biomass in the water column, that enables the calculation of the fraction of irradiance actually available for absorption by the SAV; (2) recalculation procedures of this vertical distribution with daily changes in water level and/or shoot mass removal at various levels within the water column, that enables the evaluation of regrowth potential; (3) species-characteristic effects of current velocity on photosynthesis, that enables the evaluation of the effects of hydraulic water body alterations; and (4) relationships of plant process parameters with site-specific climate, that enables the evaluation of effects of different climates. Generally, a good fit was found between simulated and measured biomass in the field. Sensitivity analysis showed that the model is very sensitive to changes in process parameters influencing carbon flow.

In the United States alone between 250 and 300 million cubic yards of sediment are dredged annually. Dredging activities may cause stress on aquatic biota by locally increasing turbidity and suspended sediment concentrations, physically disturbing habitat by elevated sedimentation rates, interfering in migratory behaviors, and hydraulically entraining bottom dwelling organisms. Environmental windows are a management practice used to alleviate such stresses on resident and transient biota by placing temporal restrictions on the conduct of dredging operations. Adherence to environmental windows can significantly inflate costs for project sponsors and local stakeholders. Since their inception following passage of NEPA in 1969 the process for setting environmental windows has not followed structured procedures and represents an example of the difficulty inherent in achieving a balance between biological resource protection and cost-effective construction and maintenance of navigation infrastructure. Recent developments in the fields of risk assessment for non-chemical stressors as well as experience in implementing structured risk-informed decision-making tools for sediment and natural resource management are summarized in this paper in relation to setting environmental windows. Combining risk assessment and multi-criteria decision analysis allows development of a framework for an objective process consistent with recommendations by the National Academy of Sciences for setting environmental windows. A hypothetical application of the framework for protection of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) in San Francisco Bay is discussed.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2008/09//Sep/Oct2008 VL - 14 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 898 EP - 918 SN - 10807039 AB - A multiple stressor risk assessment was conducted at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, as a demonstration of the Military Ecological Risk Assessment Framework. The focus was a testing program at Cibola Range, which involved an Apache Longbow helicopter firing Hellfire missiles at moving targets, that is, M60-A1 tanks. This article describes the ecological risk assessment for the missile launch and detonation. The primary stressor associated with this activity was sound. Other minor stressors included the detonation impact, shrapnel, and fire. Exposure to desert mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus crooki) was quantified using the Army sound contour program BNOISE2, as well as distances from the explosion to deer. Few effects data were available from related studies. Exposure-response models for the characterization of effects consisted of human “disturbance” and hearing damage thresholds in units of C-weighted decibels (sound exposure level) and a distance-based No-Observed-Adverse-Effects Level for moose and cannonfire. The risk characterization used a weight-of-evidence approach and concluded that risk to mule deer behavior from the missile firing was likely for a negligible number of deer, but that no risk to mule deer abundance and reproduction is expected.

To monitor the dynamics of soil erosion, there is an important need for an optimal sampling design in which determining the optimal spatial resolutions in terms of size of sample plots used for the collection of ground data and the size of pixels for mapping. Given a sample size, an optimal spatial resolution should be cost-efficient in both sampling costs and map accuracy. This study presents a spatial variability-based method for that purpose and compared it with the traditional methods in a study area in which a soil erosion cover factor was sampled and mapped with multiple plot sizes and multi-sensor images. The results showed that the optimal spatial resolutions obtained using the spatial variability-based method were 12 and 20m for years 1999 and 2000, respectively, and were consistent with those using the traditional methods. Moreover, the most appropriate spatial resolutions using the high-resolution images were also consistent with those using ground sample data, which provides a potential to use the high-resolution images instead of ground data to determine the optimal spatial resolutions before sampling. The most appropriate spatial resolutions above were then verified in terms of cost-efficiency which was defined as the product of sampling cost and map error using ordinary kriging without images and sequential Gaussian co-simulation with images to generate maps.

Bottom sediments were collected from three areas along the Lake Ontario southern shoreline near Olcott, Rochester, and Oswe go, New York. The sediment samples were subjected to 28-day, PCDDIF bioaccumulation experiments using the aquatic oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus. Empirical data including only detectable PCDD/F tissue residues were used to quantify the benthic bioavailability of 11 PCDDIF congeners through the calculation of biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs). BSAFs calculated for at least two lake areas were combined as Lake Ontario BSAFs for those specific congeners. Variability of the BSAFs was estimated by propagated error (PE) terms. Mean Lake Ontario BSAFs (±PE) ranged from 0.04±0.02 for octachlorodibenzofuran (OCDF) to 2.42± 1.32 for 1,2,3,6, 7,8-hexachlorodibenzofuran (HxCDF). Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDF, shown to be among the highest toxic equivalencies (TEQs) in lake sediments, yielded BSAFs of 0.51±0.18 and 0.22±0.12, respectively. Statistical comparison of the TCDD BSAFs showed no significant differences among the lake areas. The benthic bioavailability of TCDD appeared lower than the results of other investigators. While hydrophobicizy and degree of chlorination play some role, other factors, such as steric properties, and composition of organic carbon and matter, may have had a greater influence on the benthic bioavailabiliiy of PCDD/F congeners. Comparisons of these benthic BSAFs to fish BSAFs suggest that the bioaccumulation of PCDD/F congeners by fish is more related to water solubility and degree of chlorination than to sediment concentration.

Work centered primarily on the examination of (1) data from field testing of an in-service horizontally curved steel I-girder bridge and (2) results from a three-dimensional numerical model. Experimental data sets were used for calibration of the numerical model and the calibrated model was then used to examine the accuracy of lateral bending distribution factor equations presented in the 1993 Edition of the (AASHTO) Guide Specifications for Horizontally Curved Bridges. It is of interest to examine these equations for potential use in preliminary design even though they have been eliminated during recent AASHTO specification modifications that addressed curved bridge analysis, the 2005 Interims to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. In addition, they were developed using idealized computer models and small-scale laboratory testing with very few field tests of in-service full-scale curved steel bridges conducted to support or refute their use. Results from such experimental and numerical studies are presented and discussed herein.

In environmental monitoring, the ability to classify field samples and predict the pollutants present in these samples could contribute to monitoring efforts and the diagnosis of contaminated sites. Using gene expression analysis, we challenged our custom Daphnia magna cDNA microarray to determine the presence of a specific metal toxicant in blinded field samples collected from two copper mines in California. We compared the gene expression profiles from our field samples to previously established expression profiles for Cu, Cd, and Zn. The expression profiles from the Cu-containing field samples clustered with the laboratory-exposed Cu-specific gene expression profiles and included genes previously identified as copper biomarkers, verifying that gene expression analysis can predict environmental exposure to a specific pollutant. In addition, our study revealed that upstream field samples containing undetectable levels of Cu caused the differential expression of only a few genes, lending support for the concept of a no observed transcriptional effect level (NOTEL). If confirmed by further studies, the NOTEL may play an important role in discriminating polluted and nonpolluted sites in future monitoring efforts.

Measurements of hydrology, nutrients, and aboveground net primary productivity were made from September 1998 through March 2002. Accretion measurements were made in October 2000 and October 2004. The major hydrologic inputs to the system were the effluent, precipitation, and back water flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. Nutrient levels were generally low except in the immediate vicinity of the outfall. Mean net primary production of the freshwater forest system was significantly higher downstream of the effluent discharge (1202gm−2 yr−1) compared to the control site (799gm−2 yr−1). Downstream of the outfall, accretion rates were double the rate of relative sea level rise in the area. Removal efficiencies of N and P were as high as 75% and 95%, respectively. The relatively constant flow of secondarily treated municipal effluent buffered the downstream area from salinity intrusion during a region-wide drought. Re-direction of nutrient-enhanced effluents from open water bodies to wetland ecosystems can maintain plant productivity, sequester carbon, and maintain coastal wetland elevations in response to sea-level rise in addition to improving overall surface water quality, reducing energy use, and increasing financial savings.

This approach serves as an alternative to the current practice adopted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of adjusting flight routes in accordance with the guidelines specified in the National Playbook. Our innovative contributions in this paper include (a) the concept of “Probability-Nets” and the development of discretized representations of various weather phenomena that affect aviation operations; (b) the integration of readily accessible severe weather probabilities from existing weather forecast data provided by the National Weather Service; (c) the generation of flight plans that circumvent severe weather phenomena with specified probability threshold levels, and (d) a probabilistic delay assessment methodology for evaluating planned flight routes that might encounter potentially disruptive weather along its trajectory. Additionally, we conduct an economic benefit analysis using a k-means clustering mechanism in concert with our delay assessment methodology in order to evaluate delay costs and system disruptions associated with variations in probability-net refinement-based information. Computational results and insights are presented based on flight test cases derived from the Enhanced Traffic Management System data provided by the FAA and using weather scenarios derived from the Model Output Statistics forecast data provided by the National Weather Service.

Three types of pilot-scale RDBs, a single-layer RDB, a multi-layer RDB, and a hybrid RDB, were examined at various gas EBCTs but at a constant VOC loading rate. Diethyl ether, toluene, and hexane were used separately as model VOC. When EBCT increased from 5.0 to 60s at a constant VOC loading rate of 2.0kgCOD/(m3 day), ether removal efficiency increased from 73.1% to 97.6%, from 81.6% to 99.9%, and from 84.0% to 99.9% for the single-layer RDB, the multi-layer RDB, and the hybrid RDB, respectively, and toluene removal efficiency increased from 76.4% to 99.9% and from 84.8% to 99.9% for the multi-layer RDB and the hybrid RDB, respectively. When hexane was used as the model VOC at a constant loading rate of 0.25kgCOD/(m3 day), hexane removal efficiency increased from 31.1% to 57.0% and from 29.5% to 50.0% for the multi-layer RDB and hybrid RDB, respectively. The single-layer, multi-layer, and hybrid RDBs exhibited, respectively, the lowest, middle, and highest removal efficiencies, when operated under similar operational loading conditions. Hexane exhibited the lowest removal efficiency, while diethyl ether displayed the highest removal efficiency. The data collected at the various EBCT values correlated reasonably well with a saturation model. The sensitivity of removal efficiency to EBCT varied significantly with EBCT values, VOC properties, and biofilter configurations. Process selection and design for RDB processes should consider these factors.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 28 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1020 EP - 1035 SN - 02755947 AB - A survey of stream fish communities was conducted in the upper Des Plaines River watershed in Illinois and Wisconsin to determine the distribution of fish species and to evaluate the effects of tributary spatial position, urbanization, and multiple low-head dams on fish species diversity and species composition. Forty-eight sites upstream of Salt Creek in Illinois to the headwaters in Wisconsin were surveyed between 2002 and 2004. We found that fish species diversity decreased as agricultural land was replaced by urban land. In addition, tributary position within the drainage network caused significant differences in fish species diversity; specifically, we found significantly less fish species diversity in main-stem tributary streams located lower in the drainage network than in similarly sized streams located in the headwaters of the drainage area. Fish species composition, determined by multivariate principal components analysis, also showed significant differences among stream position within the drainage network. Increases in urbanization did not have a significant effect on fish species diversity within undammed tributary sites, but it did have a strong influence on fish species composition. Hence, as urbanization increased in these undammed tributaries, the fish species composition changed from coolwater-riverine specialist to warmwater-riverine generalist assemblages. In contrast, for tributary streams with low-head dams, the presence of dams had a greater effect on fish species composition than urbanization. In addition, the presence of multiple low-head dams on the main stem had a cumulative detrimental effect on fish species diversity, which decreased along an upstream-to-downstream gradient. Consequently, it is important to consider tributary spatial position within the drainage network, the amount of urbanization, and the number and locations of dams when characterizing the structure of warmwater fish communities, especially in relation to the development of restoration plans in highly urbanized or urbanizing watersheds.

JO - Ecotoxicology JF - Ecotoxicology Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 17 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 517 EP - 525 SN - 09639292 AB - Our purpose was to determine if the acute and sub-lethal effects of fog oil, an obscurant used for military training, could be observed in realistic field exposures. To this end, we exposed Daphnia magna to oil fogs under actual release conditions at a U.S. Army training site. Guided by field investigations, acute toxicity experiments were conducted in the laboratory with the more sensitive species Ceriodaphnia dubia to test the hypothesis that dissolution of fog oil constituents into water is minimal and actual contact by organisms with the water surface is required to cause toxicity. We conducted further experiments to test the hypothesis that vaporization of fog oil alters its chemical composition and toxicity to freshwater invertebrates. In the field, daphnid mortality was minimal more than 5 m from the point of fog generation, but sublethal effects were more extensive. Both field and laboratory experiments suggested that physical contact with oils on the water surface was the most important factor driving toxicity. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to evaluate toxicological endpoints with freshwater invertebrates in field exposures with fog oil.

Currently, there are no antiviral therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat smallpox or monkeypox infection. In this study, we showed that administration of the antiviral compound ST-246 to rabbits by oral gavage, once daily for 14 days beginning 1h postexposure (p.e.), resulted in 100% survival in a lethal aerosolized rabbitpox model used as a surrogate for smallpox. Furthermore, efficacy of delayed treatment with ST-246 was evaluated by beginning treatment on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 p.e. Although a limited number of rabbits showed less severe signs of the rabbitpox disease from the day 1 and day 2 p.e. treatment groups, their illness resolved very quickly, and the survival rates for these group of rabbits were 88% and 100%, respectively. But when the treatment was started on days 3 or 4 p.e., survival was 67% and 33%, respectively. This work suggests that ST-246 is a very potent antiviral compound against aerosolized rabbitpox in rabbits and should be investigated for further development for all orthopoxvirus diseases.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 42 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 513 EP - 520 SN - 02786826 AB - Airborne concentration of micron-sized particulate matter (PM) is an important index of indoor air quality. While human activity is considered the main reason causing indoor particle resuspension, theoretical particle adhesion force models give predictions of adhesion force much larger than the disturbance forces introduced by human activity. This work suggests that the imperfect contact between particles and surfaces can greatly reduce the adhesion bond. Electrostatic detachment method is used to measure the actual adhesion force distribution of micron-sized particles to such common indoor flooring materials as vinyl and rubber. Comparisons are made between the theoretical predictions and experimental measurements. Factorial experiments are also designed to study the influence of particle type, flooring type and contact time on particle adhesion force.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of moderate iron deficiency and physical activity (PA) on body composition in an animal model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats consumed iron-adequate (IA; 40 mg/kg) or moderately iron-deficient (ID; 9mg/kg) diets ad libitum for 12 wk. Rats were assigned to 4 treatment groups In = 10 per group): IA, sedentary (IAS); IA, PA ((APA); ID, sedentary (IDS); or ID, PA (IDPA). Activity involved running on motorized running wheels at 4 m/mm for 1 h/d for 5 d/wk. After 12 wk, ID rats were not anemic, but body iron stores were reduced as indicated by diminished (P < 0.05) femur iron compared with IA rats. Treatment group did not affect body weight or feed consumption. However, fat mass was greater (P < 0.05) in IDS rats (38.6 ± 6.7%) than IAS 131.8 ± 2.9%), IAPA (31.8 ± 2.0%), and IDPA (32.8 ± 4.5%) rats. Furthermore, lean body mass was diminished in IDS rats (58.7 ± 6.8%) compared with IAS (65.6 ± 3.0%), IAPA (65.6 ± 2.1 %(, and IDPA (64.7 ± 4.5%) rats. Thus, moderate iron deficiency may cause increased body fat accretion in rats and PA attenuates that effect.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 20 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 821 EP - 828 SN - 08958378 AB - We determined acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) following inhalation exposure to chemical threat nerve agent (CTNA) sarin. Age- and weight-matched male guinea pigs were exposed to five different doses of sarin (169.3, 338.7, 508, 677.4, and 846.5 mg/m3) using a microinstillation inhalation exposure technique for 4 min. The technique involves aerosolization of the agent in the trachea using a microcatheter with a center hole that delivers the agent and multiple peripheral holes that pumps air to aerosolize the agent at the tip. Animals exposed to higher doses of sarin occasionally developed seizures and succumbed to death within 15 min after exposure. The LCt50 for sarin using the microinstillation technique was determined to be close to 677.4 mg/m3. Ear blood AChE activity showed a dose-dependent inhibition at 15 min postexposure. The inhibition of blood AChE remained constant over 35 and 55 min after sarin exposure indicating that there was no lung depot effect. Cardiac blood AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity in surviving animals euthanized at 24 h postexposure showed a dose-dependent inhibition with an inhibition of 60% at 677.4 and 846.5 mg/m3 sarin exposure. AChE and BChE activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) showed a slight increase at 338.7 to 677.4 mg/m3 sarin exposure but a marginal inhibition at 169.3 mg/m3. In contrast, the AChE protein levels determined by immunoblotting showed an increase at 169.3 mg/m3 in the BALF. The BALF protein level, a biomarker of lung injury, was increased maximally at 338.7 mg/m3 and that increase was dropped with an increase in the dose of sarin. The BALF protein levels correlated with the AChE and BChE activity. These data suggest that sarin microinstillation inhalation exposure results in respiratory toxicity and lung injury characterized by changes in lavage AChE, BChE, and protein levels.

T1 - Utility of lipid biomarkers in support of bioremediation efforts at army sites JO - Journal of Microbiological Methods JF - Journal of Microbiological Methods Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 74 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 25 SN - 01677012 AB - Abstract: Lipid biomarker analysis has proven valuable in testing the hypothesis that attributes of the extant microbiota can directly reflect the occurrence of contaminant biodegradation. Two past research efforts have demonstrated this utility and are described here. A 4.5 m vertical core was obtained from a diesel fuel oil contamination plume. Core material was assayed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and bacterial membrane phospholipids (PLFA) via a single solvent extraction. Microbial viable biomass and the relative abundance of Gram-negative bacterial PLFA biomarkers were found to be significantly correlated with TPH concentration. The core TPH profile also revealed two distinct areas where the average TPH level of 3000 μg g−1 fell to near detection limits. Both areas were characterized by a three-fold decrease in the hexadecane/pristane ratio, indicating alkane biodegradation, and a distinct PLFA profile that showed a close similarity to the uncontaminated surface soil. Low-order, incomplete detonations can deposit hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) into training range surface soils. Since surface soils are exposed to temporal and diurnal moisture cycles, we investigated the effect two very different soil moisture tensions had on the in situ microbiota and RDX biodegradation. Saturated soils were characterized by rapid RDX biodegradation, 4 day half-life, a decrease in number of species detected and increase in PLFA biomarkers for Gram-negative proteobacteria (n16:1ω7c, n18:1ω9c, and n18:1ω7c) and Gram-positive firmicutes (i15:0 and a15:0). Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) profiles of endpoint microbial communities indicated a shift from 18 to 36% firmicutes, the loss of gamma-proteobacteria and the emergence of alpha-proteobacteria. These two past research efforts demonstrated the utility of the lipid biomarker analysis in identifying microbial community characteristics that were associated with two very different soil contaminants. Lipid biomarkers defined areas of TPH biodegradation and identified community shifts as a result of soil conditions that affected explosives fate. Information like this can be used to enhance the predictive power of ecological models such as the Army Training and Testing Area Carrying Capacity for munitions model [ATTACC].

These properties also provide invaluable information for the overall understanding of environmental distribution, biotransformation, and potential treatment processes. In this study the aqueous solubility (S w), octanol–water partition coefficient (K ow), and Henry''s law constant (K H) were determined for an insensitive munitions (IM) compound, N-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA), at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15K. Effect of ionic strength on solubility, using electrolytes such as NaCl and CaCl2, was also studied. The data on the physicochemical parameters were correlated using the standard Van’t Hoff equation. All three properties exhibited a linear relationship with reciprocal temperature. The enthalpy and entropy of phase transfer were derived from the experimental data.

A case–control study was employed with cases as trainees with outpatient GAS diagnosis (ICD-9-CM codes: 034.0, 035, 038.0, 041.01, 320.2, 390–392, 482.31) during the influenza season, and controls as trainees with no outpatient GAS diagnosis during the influenza season. Primary exposure was influenza immunization during 1st September to 30th April of each season. Estimated protective effects of influenza immunization against GAS-illness ranged from 50% to 77%. A strong protective effect was suggested for Army trainee influenza immunization on the diagnosis of GAS-illness.

Comparisons between simulation and experiment are complicated, however, by the difficulty of reproducing the exact geometry of the experimental porous medium in a simulation. Flow and dispersion are affected by differences in packing density, random packing variation, inhomogeneities, and confining walls. It is therefore important to understand the magnitude of such effects when comparing simulation and experiment. We quantify the sensitivity of pore-scale simulations of flow and dispersion to variations in packing density, the random packing algorithm, and selective sphere removal for the case of randomly packed spheres. The results allow us to interpret differences in dispersion between pore-scale simulations and NMR spectroscopy measurements in packed cylinders. Dispersion is analyzed in terms of the time-dependent dispersion coefficient and by the propagator function (i.e., the density function of solute mass versus mass propagation distance). The simulation and experimental propagator functions share important qualitative features, and there are no obvious problems such as an incorrect center of mass. However, the simulation underestimates experimental dispersion, and the underestimate is greater than can be explained by possible differences in packing density and random packing between the NMR and simulated sphere packings. An examination of NMR images of the experimental packing reveals regularities in packing structure and raises the possibility that nonrandom ordering could account for the difference in dispersion.

Aerobic plate counts, the presence of Enterobacteriaceae, and the presence of Escherichia coli, modified to express a green fluorescent protein (GFP E. coli), was used to evaluate the effectiveness of various sanitizers in decreasing bacterial incorporation into newly generated biofilms in recirculating aquaculture systems. Disks of Buna-N rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated PVC, glass, fiberglass, and stainless steel were placed in aquariums stocked with Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The effectiveness of water, an alkaline cleanser, sodium hypochlorite, a quaternary ammonium compound, or peracetic acid as a sanitizer was evaluated on each substrate by enumerating total plate counts, GFP E. coli, and Enterobacteriaceae. Sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid were the most effective sanitizers, with an overall percentage reduction of GFP E. coli of approximately 2 logs10. The quaternary ammonium compound was moderately effective, 1 log10, against the target organisms. Water demonstrated a 2 log10 reduction of the total plate count, suggesting that some mechanical cleaning was achieved. The type of material used as substrate for the biofilm had no significant (P > 0.05) effect on the effectiveness of the sanitizers.

Using multi-criteria decision analysis in combination with comparative risk assessment, a systematic and transparent framework can be created to integrate different types and sources of decision-relevant information. Although examples of decision analysis abound in the literature and academic efforts, its use within the practice of risk assessment and environmental management is still being established. This article provides an example of the use of decision analysis study that builds on a previous screening-level, comparative risk assessment of contaminated sediment from the New York/New Jersey harbor area. Using multi-criteria decision analysis, we explored the effect of different criteria weights, utility functions, and cost estimates on the ranking of seven contaminated sediment management alternatives. Values used in weighting decision criteria were surveyed from two interaction sessions with sediment management professionals.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 44 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - The focus of this study is on the role of precipitation uncertainty in the estimation of soil texture and soil hydraulic properties for application to land-atmosphere modeling systems. This work extends a recent study by Santanello et al. (2007) in which it was shown that soil texture and related physical parameters may be estimated using a combination of multitemporal microwave remote sensing, land surface modeling, and parameter estimation methods. As in the previous study, the NASA-GSFC Land Information System modeling framework, including the community Noah land surface model constrained with pedotransfer functions (PTF) for use with the Parameter Estimation Tool, is applied to several sites in the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) in southeastern Arizona during the Monsoon '90 experiment period. It is demonstrated that the application of PTF constraints in the estimation process for hydraulic parameters provides accuracy similar to direct hydrologic parameter estimation, with the additional benefit of simultaneously estimated soil texture. Precipitation uncertainty is then represented with systematically varying sources, from the high-density precipitation gauge network in WGEW to lower quality sources, including spatially averaged precipitation, single gauges in and near the watershed, and results from the continental-scale North American Regional Reanalysis data set. It is demonstrated that the quality of the input precipitation data set, and particularly the accuracy of the data set, in both detection of convective (heavy) rainfall events and reproduction of the observed rainfall rate probabilities, is a critical determinant in the use of successive remote sensing results in order to establish and refine estimates of soil texture and hydraulic properties.

Although trampling studies have been conducted in the past, the analysis of military training, in part, provides a different perspective and approach. The baseline data showed bulk densities remained relatively constant for a time and then began to increase at an increasing rate for several hundred passes and finally leveled and remained at or below 1.30 gm/cm3 through the remainder of the experiment. A mathematical model was created based on empirical data from the trampling experiment using a gamma cumulative distribution function. Subsequent similar experiments were conducted over the following 2 years to verify the baseline model soil response. The follow-on data were modeled using the same gamma distribution function with good results. The model replicated the soil response for the subsequent years well with the exception of the initial threshold which was dramatically reduced for both years. The experiments and the resulting model give quantifiable continuous inference on the effects of trampling, as opposed to the existing qualitative assessments. This model performed well and can be used as a foundation for future studies of land management when trampling occurs.

Ten White Leghorn hens (>7 months, 1.2–1.8 kg) were administered phenyl-saligenin phosphate (PSP; 2.5 mg/kg; im), a dose reported to induce a 70% decrease in neurotoxic esterase (NTE) activity. Five of the hens were administered verapamil (7 mg/kg; im) for 4 days starting one day before PSP administration. Serum was isolated from blood collected by serial brachial venepuncture before PSP (day 0) administration and on days 3, 7 and 21 after PSP administration, each hen acting as its own control. Serum antibodies (IgG) to NF-L, NF-M, NF-H, MBP, and GFAP were assayed using an ELISA. There were no detectable levels of antibodies on days 0 and 3. IgG against all neural proteins were detected on days 7 and 21, with titer levels being significantly (p ≤0.05) higher in sera of hens receiving PSP only. Anti-NF-L titers were highest compared to those against NF-M, NF-H or MBP at 21 days. Titers of anti-NF-L and anti-MBP significantly (p ≤0.01) correlated with clinical scores at days 7 and 21. Detection of anti-NF and anti-MBP antibodies confirms the neuroaxonal degeneration accompanied by myelin loss reported in this model of OPIDN and the amelioration of neuropathy using verapamil. The detection of anti-GFAP antibodies suggests CNS involvement in OPIDN, since astrocytes are only found therein. This study demonstrates that detection of neuroantibodies can be used as biomarkers of neuropathy development and to monitor the amelioration resulting from therapeutic intervention. Together with biomarkers of exposure neuroantibodies can be used to monitor neuropathogenesis due to environmental or occupational exposures.

JO - Natural Areas Journal JF - Natural Areas Journal Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 28 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 179 SN - 08858608 AB - The Lowcountry Forest Conservation Project was designed to encourage conservation forestry practices on South Carolina's lower coastal plain. The area has great ecological diversity and need for the type of protections afforded by conservation forestry. The project provided demonstrations of these practices and offered forest owners an estimate of the cost-effectiveness of the techniques. This article reports on a financial analysis of the three main practices: (I) the reintroduction of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris P. Miller) into areas that are now loblolly pine plantations (Pinus taeda L.), (2) more and better use of prescribed fire, and (3) bottomland hardwood management. Longleaf pine rein- troduction was accomplished using partial clearcuts of existing pine plantations over several decades. Financial return was shown to be competitive with intensively-managed loblolly pine plantations. Pine straw production played a large role in increasing cash flows. Prescribed burning was shown to "pay for itself' in increased stumpage prices and reduced harvesting costs. A technique to better manage bottomland hardwoods for economic returns was discussed. Conservation forestry practices were shown to be economically-effective means to manage forests while benefiting wildlife, aesthetics, and other ecological values. These techniques can be used to analyze other practices and techniques that are used to protect natural areas. Often they can be shown to "pay their own way."

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2008/04//4/1/2008 VL - 42 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2542 EP - 2550 SN - 0013936X AB - Large-scale aerobic windrow composting has been used to bioremediate washout lagoon soils contaminated with the explosives TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) at several sites within the United States. We previously used 15N NMR to investigate the reduction and binding of T15NT in aerobic bench -scale reactors simulating the conditions of windrow composting. These studies have been extended to 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4DNT) and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6DNT), which, as impurities in TNT, are usually present wherever soils have been contaminated with TNT. Liquid-state 15N NMR analyses of laboratory reactions between 4-methyl-3-nitroaniline-15N,the major monoamine reduction product of 2,4DNT, and the Elliot soil humic acid, both in the presence and absence of horseradish peroxidase, indicated that the amine underwent covalent binding with quinone and other carbonyl groups in the soil humic acid to form both heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic condensation products. Liquid-state 15N NMR analyses of the methanol extracts of 20 day aerobic bench-scale composts of 2,4-di-15N-nitrotoluene and 2,6-di-15N- nitrotoluene revealed the presence of nitrite and monoamine, but not diamine, reduction products, indicating the occurrence of both dioxygenase enzyme and reductive degradation pathways. Solid-state CP/MAS 15N NMR analyses of the whole composts, however, suggested that reduction to monoamines followed by covalent binding of the amines to organic matter was the predominant pathway.

In order to sustain training lands, soil erosion is of major concern. Thus there is a need for sampling designs to monitor degradation and recovery of land conditions. Traditionally, permanent plots are used to obtain the change of land conditions. However, the permanent plots often provide less information over time in characterizing the land conditions because of the fixed number and locations of plots. In this paper, we analyzed the sufficiency of a permanent plot sample and developed a method to improve the re-measurements of the permanent plots over time for a monitoring system of soil erosion based on spatial and temporal variability of a random function. We first applied a local variability based sampling method to generate reference samples that have sampling distances varying spatially and temporally to monitor a soil erosion relevant cover factor for an installation, Fort Riley, USA. Then, we compared a permanent sample with the reference samples annually over 13 years to determine additional sampling in the areas with high variability and temporarily suspending measurements of the permanent plots in the areas with low variability. The local variability based sampling provides estimates of local variability of the cover factor and thus is more cost-efficient than random sampling. By comparison with a reference samples, the re-measurements obtained should more accurately characterize the dynamics of the land conditions.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2008/03/15/ VL - 20 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 465 EP - 472 SN - 08958378 AB - Using a modified noninvasive volume-displacement plethysmography system, we investigated the effects of inhaled dichlorvos (2,2-dimethyl dichlorovinyl phosphate, or DDVP) vapor on the respiratory mechanics and blood cholinesterase activity of guinea pigs. Data revealed significant dose-dependent changes in several pulmonary parameters. Animals exposed to a DDVP concentration of 35 mg/m3 did not show any significant changes in frequency, tidal volume, or minute ventilation. However, animals exposed to 55 mg/m3 DDVP showed significantly decreased respiratory frequency and significantly increased tidal volume with no significant changes in minute ventilation. Similarly, animals exposed to 75 mg/m3 DDVP showed significantly decreased respiratory frequency along with significantly increased tidal volume. The decreased respiratory frequency was large enough in the high exposure group to offset the increased tidal volume. This effect resulted in significantly decreased minute ventilation by the end of exposure, which remained attenuated 10 min after exposure. An analysis of whole-blood cholinesterase activity revealed significantly decreased activity for both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butylcholinesterase (BChE). Peak inhibition occurred for both enzymes at the end of exposure for all three concentrations and rapidly recovered within several minutes of exposure. Analysis of blood samples using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) revealed that minute ventilation may only play a minimal role in the dosimetry of inhaled DDVP vapor.

On arid western United States playas, where the climate is an unevenly distributed series of precipitation events that are spread over many years, the use of surface water monitoring can be limiting due to occasional years with almost no hydrological information. To substitute for a general lack of monitored surface water conditions, we used processed satellite images and precise topographic modeling to determine ponded water areas. To test the reliability of select field indicators for delineation purposes, we used a two-phase field test on a hard playa in the Mojave Desert, California. First, we verified that ponded water was associated with these playa surface features. Then, to test the statistical reliability of these surface features, we developed a decile ponding zone map by stacking processed satellite imagery, collected detailed laser altimetry (LiDAR) elevation data, sampled surface features occurring in the various decile zones, and developed reliability statements for these OHW delineation features. These field indicators represent surface features that have developed over a series of years representing the wetter portion of the El Niño climatic cycle.

JO - Vector Borne & Zoonotic Diseases JF - Vector Borne & Zoonotic Diseases Y1 - 2008/03// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 15303667 AB - Polymerase chain reaction analysis of Amblyomma americanumadults, nymphs, and larvae from Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (APG), revealed a very high prevalence of a spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsia. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analysis identified “Rickettsia amblyommii.” This organism is not yet described or well studied, and its pathogenicity is unknown; however, investigations of the organism are warranted because of its high prevalence in A. americanum. This tick is extremely abundant at military training facilities in the south, central, and Mid-Atlantic United States, and many soldiers experience multiple concurrent tick bites. Bites by R. amblyommii-infected A. americanummay account for rates of SFG rickettsia seropositivity that are higher than reported rates of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) cases from the same location. Seroconversion to SFG rickettsia following bites of A. americanummay suggest that R. amblyommiiis infectious in humans. Subclinical infection in the numerous A. americanumtick bite victims could contaminate donated blood and compromise immunodeficient recipients. Detection of R. amblyommiiin questing A. americanumlarvae suggests transovarial transmission. The absence of R. rickettsii, the agent of RMSF, in A. americanummay be due to transovarial interference by R. amblyommii. The likelihood of pathogen transmission by larvae is magnified by their habit of mass attack. The very small size of the larvae is also a risk factor for pathogen transmission. High R. amblyommiiprevalence in populations of A. americanumpresage co-infection with other A. americanum-borne pathogens. A. americanumnymphs and adults from APG were found to be co-infected with R. amblyommiiand Borrelia lonestari, Ehrlichia chaffeensisand Ehrlichia ewingii, respectively, and larval pools were infected with both R. amblyommiiand B. lonestari. Co-infections can compound effects and complicate diagnosis of tick-borne disease.

This study examined the effects of short-term moderate Zn restriction on intestinal health and immune function in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mice through plasma cytokine profiling and histological evaluation of intestinal tissue sections. Adult male mice were fed with a Zn-adequate (40 ppm) or a Zn-marginal (4 ppm) diet for 4 weeks, and then a bacterial challenge was simulated by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 μg/g body weight [BW]) or saline (control). BW was recorded weekly, and feed intake was recorded daily over the last week. Voluntary locomotor activity was assessed 6 and 24 h after the challenge. Plasma and tissues were collected 0, 6 or 24 h after the challenge for analysis. Histological analysis of intestinal samples included evaluation of villi length and width, lamina propria (LP) width, crypt depth and intraepithelial as well as LP leukocyte numbers. Plasma was analyzed for IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-12p70, interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor α. Diet did not affect BW and feed intake. The LPS challenge led to decreased voluntary locomotor activity (P<.05). Moderate Zn restriction led to greater leukocyte infiltration in the LP after the LPS challenge (P<.05) and higher plasma IL-6 and IL-10 levels 24 h after the LPS challenge (P<.01). Results indicate that Zn status impacts intestinal responses to LPS through modulation of the cytokine response and leukocyte recruitment, and this impact is evident even with short-term (4weeks) moderate Zn restriction.

T1 - Appropriate scale of soil moisture retrieval from high resolution radar imagery for bare and minimally vegetated soils JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2008/02/15/ VL - 112 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 403 EP - 414 SN - 00344257 AB - This research investigates the appropriate scale for watershed averaged and site specific soil moisture retrieval from high resolution radar imagery. The first approach involved filtering backscatter for input to a retrieval model that was compared against field measures of soil moisture. The second approach involved spatially averaging raw and filtered imagery in an image-based statistical technique to determine the best scale for site-specific soil moisture retrieval. Field soil moisture was measured at 1225 m2 sites in three watersheds commensurate with 7 m resolution Radarsat image acquisition. Analysis of speckle reducing block median filters indicated that 5×5 filter level was the optimum for watershed averaged estimates of soil moisture. However, median filtering alone did not provide acceptable accuracy for soil moisture retrieval on a site-specific basis. Therefore, spatial averaging of unfiltered and median filtered power values was used to generate backscatter estimates with known confidence for soil moisture retrieval. This combined approach of filtering and averaging was demonstrated at watersheds located in Arizona (AZ), Oklahoma (OK) and Georgia (GA). The optimum ground resolution for AZ, OK and GA study areas was 162 m, 310 m, and 1131 m respectively obtained with unfiltered imagery. This statistical approach does not rely on ground verification of soil moisture for validation and only requires a satellite image and average roughness parameters of the site. When applied at other locations, the resulting optimum ground resolution will depend on the spatial distribution of land surface features that affect radar backscatter. This work offers insight into the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval, and an operational approach to determine the optimal spatial resolution for the required application accuracy.

Bioremediation of 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and related nitroaromatic compounds has met with mixed. success, which is potentially due to the uncertainty of how energetic compounds are bound to different soil types. This study investigated the dissolution and sorption properties of TNT and RDX explosives associated with six different soil types. Understanding the associations that explosives have with a different soil type assists with the development of conceptual models used for the sequestration process, risk analysis guidelines, and site assessment tools. In three-way systems of crystalline explosives, soil, and water, the maximum explosive solubility was not achieved due to the sorption of the explosive onto the soil particles and observed production of transformation byproducts. Significantly different sorption effects were also observed between sterile (γ-irradiated) and nonsterile (nonirradiated) soils with the introduction of crystalline TNT and RDX into soil-water systems.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 149 EP - 156 SN - 08958378 AB - The nerve agent O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate, also known as soman or by its military designation GD, is a highly toxic organophosphorous compound that exerts its effects through inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In the present study, a fluoride ion based regeneration assay was developed to quantify the level of soman present in the blood of rats following a low-level whole-body inhalation exposure. It was hypothesized that the amount of regenerated nerve agent in the blood would be dose dependent in rats subjected to a whole-body inhalation exposure to a low-level dose of soman vapor, and that the fluoride ion-based regeneration method would be more sensitive for the detection of a low-level exposure to soman vapor than the measurement of whole blood AChE activity. Regenerated soman was dose-dependently detected in both the red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma of exposed rats at all concentrations tested (0.033-0.280 mg/m3 for a 240-min exposure). Significant inhibition of whole blood AChE activity did not occur below a concentration of 0.101 mg/m3, and was only depressed by approximately 10-25% at concentrations ranging from 0.101 mg/m3 to 0.280 mg/m3. This study is the first to utilize a fluoride ion-based regeneration assay to demonstrate the dose-dependent increases in soman in the blood following whole-body inhalation exposure to low levels of vapor. Additionally, the results of the present study demonstrate that the fluoride ion based regeneration assay was approximately threefold more sensitive than the measurement of AChE activity in the blood for the detection of exposure to soman, and also that miosis is a more sensitive marker of soman exposure than inhibition of AChE activity.

Ethanol is an example of a renewable fuel from which hydrogen can be derived, and E85 is a commercially available ethanol-based fuel of increasing importance. The distributed production of hydrogen from E85 fuel is one potential way of assuring availability of hydrogen as PEM fuel cells are introduced into service. NexTech Materials is collaborating with the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Laboratory (CERL) on the development of a hydrogen reformation process for E85 fuel. This paper describes the technical status of E85 fuel reforming process development work using Rh/ceria catalysts. Reforming results are compared for steam reforming and oxidative steam reforming of ethanol (the primary constituent of E85 fuel), isooctane, ethanol/iso-octane fuel mixtures (as a surrogate to E85), and commercially available E85 fuel. Stable reforming of E85 at 800°C and a space velocity of 58,000scm3 gcat−1 h−1 over a 200-h period is reported.

RSA outcomes have consistently allowed for as definitive determinations of receptor health as are possible at the present time, thereby streamlining the ecological risk assessment (ERA) process. Here, we describe the unanticipated discovery, at a contaminated US EPA Superfund National Priorities List site, of a population of Hispid cotton rats ( Sigmodon hispidus), with a high percentage of adult males lacking sperm entirely (azoospermia). In light of the RSA method’s role in streamlining ERAs and in bringing contaminated Superfund-type site investigations to closure, we consider the consequences of the discovery. The two matters specifically discussed are (1) the computation of a population’s average sperm count where azoospermia is present and (2) the merits of the RSA method and its sperm parameter thresholds-for-effect when azoospermia is masked in an otherwise apparently healthy rodent population.

These data can be used to define criteria or reference values for environmental management and conducting specific risk assessment. Long-term exposure tests were conducted to evaluate sublethal toxicity and uptake of aged soil-based explosives, with TNT as the main contaminant. In these tests, plants were exposed for 55 d, and biomass and explosives residues were determined. Worms were exposed for 28 and 42 d, and biomass, number, and tissue residues were determined. Biomass of Lolium perenne significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an effective concentration causing a 20% decrease in biomass (EC20) for TNT metabolites of 3.75 mg/kg was calculated. The concentrations of TNT metabolites in shoots and roots were significantly related to concentrations in soil, as were concentrations of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7- tetrazocine (HMX). The mean bioconcentration factors, indicating the potential of a chemical to accumulate in an organism, were 0.9 for TNT metabolites, 71.8 for RDX, and 12.2 for HMX in L. perenne shoots. Biomass of Eisenia fetida adults significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an EC20 for TNT of 3.70 mg/kg was calculated. The TNT, RDX, and HMX levels in E. fetida were below detection.

A novel intratracheal instillation procedure was refined and used to deliver a defined dose of Pb-contaminated soil or PbAc to the lower respiratory tract of rats. In the first experiment, rats were sacrificed at numerous time intervals post-dosing, and liver, kidney, blood, and bone tissues were collected for Pb analysis. In the second experiment, rats were dosed with Pb-contaminated soil or PbAc via intratracheal instillation or gastric gavage. All rats were sacrificed 96 h after dose administration and tissues were collected for lead analysis. Data from these experiments indicate Pb is well-absorbed following intratracheal instillation of Pb-contaminated soil, and the intratracheal instillation technique could be used as a cost effective method for exploring the biokinetics of Pb in Pb-contaminated soils following respiratory tract exposure.

The RDB was seeded with municipal wastewater activated sludge. Removal efficiencies up to 86% and an elimination capacity of 5.3 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) m-3 · hr-1 were achieved at a filter-medium contact time of 60 sec. Efficiency increased at higher temperatures that promote higher biological activity, and decreased at lower pH, which dropped down to pH 5.5 possibly as a result of carbon dioxide and volatile fatty acid production and ammonia consumption during VOC degradation. In comparison, other studies have shown that a bench-scale RDB could achieve a removal efficiency of 95% and elimination capacity of 331 g COD m-3 · hr-1. Sustainable performance of the pilot-scale RDB was challenged by the intermittent nature of painting operations, which typically resulted in 3-day long shutdown periods when bacteria were not fed. This challenge was overcome by adding sucrose (2 g/L weekly) as an auxiliary substrate to sustain metabolic activity during shutdown periods.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 27 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1932 EP - 1941 SN - 07307268 AB - Carbon nanotubes (NTs) may be among the most useful engineered nanomaterials for structural applications but could be difficult to study in ecotoxicological evaluations using existing tools relative to nanomaterials with a lower aspect ratio. Whereas the hydrophobicity and van der Waals interactions of NTs may suggest aggregation and sedimentation in aquatic systems, consideration regarding how engineered surface modifications influence their environmental fate and toxicology is needed. Surface modifications (e.g., functional groups and coatings) are intended to create conditions to make NTs dispersible in aqueous suspension, as required for some applications. In the present study, column stability and settling experiments indicated that raw, multiwalled NTs (MWNTs) settled more rapidly than carbon black and activated carbon particles, suggesting sediment as the ultimate repository. The presence of functional groups, however, slowed the settling of MWNTs (increasing order of stability: hydroxyl > carboxyl > raw), especially in combination with natural organic matter (NOM). Stabilized MWNTs in high concentrations of NOM provided relevance for water transport and toxicity studies. Aqueous exposures to raw MWNTs decreased Ceriodaphnia dubia viability, but such effects were not observed during exposure to functionalized MWNTs (>80 mg/L). Sediment exposures of the amphipods Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca to different sizes of sediment-borne carbon particles at high concentration indicated mortality increased as particle size decreased, although raw MWNTs induced lower mortality (median lethal concentration [LC50], 50 to >264 g/kg) than carbon black (LC50, 18-40 g/kg) and activated carbon (LC50, 12-29 g/kg). Our findings stress that it may be inappropriate to classify all NTs into one category in terms of their environmental regulation.

In order to be used for this purpose, catalytic partial oxidation must be combined with other processes, such as water-gas shift and preferential oxidation, to produce hydrogen with minimal carbon monoxide. This paper evaluates the use of catalytic partial oxidation in an integrated system for conversion of a military logistic fuel, JP-8, to high-purity hydrogen. A fuel processing system using CPO as the first processing step is simulated to understand the trade-offs involved in using CPO. The effects of water flow rate, CPO reactor temperature, carbon to oxygen ratio in the CPO reactor, temperature of preferential oxidation, oxygen to carbon ratio in the preferential oxidation reactor, and temperature for the water-gas shift reaction are evaluated. The possibility of recycling water from the fuel cell for use in fuel processing is evaluated. Finally, heat integration options are explored. A process efficiency, defined as the ratio of the lower heating value of hydrogen to that of JP-8, of around 53% is possible with a carbon to oxygen ratio of 0.7. Higher efficiencies are possible (up to 71%) when higher C/O ratios are used, provided that olefin production can be minimized in the CPO reactor.

T1 - TOXICOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF RED-BACKED SALAMANDERS (PLETHODON CINEREUS) TO SUBCHRONIC SOIL EXPOSURES OF 2,4,6-TRINITROTOLUENE. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 27 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1393 EP - 1398 SN - 07307268 AB - Since World War I, trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the most commonly used explosive. Environmental contamination associated with synthesis, manufacture of weapons, and use during training exercises has been extensive, with soil concentrations reaching 145,000 mg/kg. Some of these areas include habitats for amphibian species. Earlier studies have shown that salamanders dermally absorb TNT from soil. To ascertain what soil concentrations of TNT are toxic to amphibians, red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) were exposed to one of five concentrations of TNT in soil for 28 d and evaluated for indicators of toxicity. A total of 100 salamanders were randomly sorted by weight and assigned to target TNT concentrations in soil of either 3,000, 1,500, 750, 325, or 0 mg/kg dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Survival was reduced in salamanders exposed to 1,500 and 3,000 mg/kg by 10 and 55%, respectively. Most mortality/morbidity occurred within the first week of exposure. Salamanders had a reduction in hemoglobin at 750 mg/kg or greater and a reduction in red blood cell concentration at 1,500 mg/kg or greater. Food consumption was affected in salamanders at 750 mg/kg or greater; a reduction in body mass and liver glycogen content also occurred at and above this concentration. Splenic congestion also was observed in salamanders from these groups. These data suggest that soil TNT concentrations of 373 ± 41.0 mg/kg or greater result in reduced body mass, reduced feed intake, and hematological effects.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 27 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1102 EP - 1111 SN - 07307268 AB - Contamination of the soil with the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been found at military sites, many of which are habitats used by reptiles. To provide data useful in assessing ecological risk for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted with the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Oral median lethal dose (LD50) values for TNT in corn oil were 1,038 and 1,579 mg/kg of body weight for male and female lizards, respectively. Overt signs of toxicity included chromaturia, abdominal enlargement, and tremors. A 14-d subacute study followed in which male lizards were orally dosed with TNT (corn oil) at 0, 33, 66, 132, 263, 525, and 1,050 mg/kg of body weight each day. Clinical signs of toxicity, while similar to the LD50 study, were more subtle and noted in lizards receiving TNT amounts of at least 66 mg/kg/d. Chromaturia was an early consistent sign, often preceding the onset of adverse effects. Male lizards in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 3, 15, 25, 35, and 45 mg/kg/d with nearly complete survival (>90%) for lizards in all treatments. Changes in food consumption and body weight were observed at 35 and 45 mg/kg/d. Alterations in hematological end points; blood chemistries (albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, calcium); kidney, spleen, and liver weights; and adverse histopathology were observed in lizards exposed at 25 to 45 mg/kg/d. Testosterone concentration, sperm count, and motility were variable between treatments. Although not significant, incidences of hypospermia and testicular atrophy were observed in some individuals. Together, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 25 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 15 mg/kg/d in S. occidentalis.

The interactive effects of different types of vehicular disturbance on vegetation have rarely been examined, and it has been proposed that some vegetation types are less susceptible to vehicular disturbance than others. At Fort Riley, Kansas, we experimentally tested how different plant community types changed after disturbance from an M1A1 Abrams tank driven at different speeds and turning angles during different seasons. The greatest vegetation change was observed because of driving in the spring in wet soils and the interaction of turning while driving fast (vegetation change was measured with Bray-Curtis dissimilarity). We found that less vegetation change occurred in communities with high amounts of native prairie vegetation than in communities with high amounts of introduced C3 grasses, which is the first experimental evidence we are aware of that suggests plant communities dominated by introduced C3 grasses changed more because of vehicular disturbance than communities dominated by native prairie grasses. We also found that vegetation changed linearly with vehicular disturbance intensity, suggesting that at least initially there was no catastrophic shift in vegetation beyond a certain disturbance intensity threshold. Overall, the intensity of vehicular disturbance appeared to play the greatest role in vegetation change, but the plant community type also played a strong role and this should be considered in land use planning. The reasons for greater vegetation change in introduced C3 grass dominated areas deserve further study.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 27 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 933 EP - 944 SN - 07307268 AB - Sublethal test methods are being used with increasing frequency to measure sediment toxicity, but little is known about the relative sensitivity of these tests compared to the more commonly used acute tests. The present study was conducted to compare the sensitivity of several acute and sublethal methods and to investigate their correlations with sediment chemistry and benthic community condition. Six sublethal methods (amphipod: Leptocheirus plumulosus survival, growth, and reproduction; polychaete: Neanthes arenaceodentata survival and growth; benthic copepod: Amphiascus tenuiremis life cycle; seed clam: Mercenaria mercenaria growth; oyster: Crassostrea virginica lysosome destabilization; and sediment-water interface testing with mussel embryos, Mytilus galloprovincialis) and two acute methods (amphipod survival with Eohaustorius estuarius and L. plumulosus) were used to test split sediment samples from stations in California. The test with Amphiascus proved to be the most sensitive sublethal test and the most sensitive overall, identifying 90% of the stations as toxic. The Leptocheirus 10-d test was the most sensitive of the acute tests, identifying 60% of the stations as toxic. In general, the sublethal tests were not more sensitive to sediments than the acute tests, with the sublethal tests finding an average of 35% of the stations to be toxic while the acute found 44%. Of the sublethal tests, only the Amphiascus endpoints and Neanthes growth significantly (p ≤ 0.05) correlated with sediment chemical concentrations. Poor correspondence occurred between the toxicity endpoints and the indicators of benthic community condition. Differences in test characteristics such as mode of exposure, species-specific contaminant sensitivity, changes in contaminant bioavailability, and influence of noncontaminant stressors on the benthos may have been responsible for variation in response among the tests and low correspondence with benthic community condition. The influence of these factors cannot be easily predicted, underscoring the need to use multiple toxicity methods, in combination with other lines of evidence, to provide an accurate and confident assessment of sediment toxicity.

HEV has been considered a military health threat and has been reported in several military environments. This study determined HEV seroconversion (defined by a 4-fold increase in antibody titers) occurring in Thai soldiers deployed to the HEV-endemic areas of East Timor, Afghanistan, and Iraq, as part of the U. N. multinational forces. With an average deployment of 6.4 months, the annualized seroconversion rates after deployments to East Timor, Afghanistan, Burundi, and Iraq were 1.9%, 4.6%, 4.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

New techniques were used to demonstrate the detectable persistence of mustard metabolites in the patient's blood for at least 41 days after exposure, validating these techniques for the first time for a human mustard patient: they were also used for the first time with human mustard blister fluid. The techniques extend eightfold the period of time that mustard exposure can be definitively diagnosed, compared with previous techniques. Although this patient's lesions were never life-threatening, he required 2 weeks of intensive bum care. He has been left with ongoing posttraumatic stress disorder and has had an incomplete dermatological recovery. In a major terrorist attack involving many patients exposed to sulfur mustard, care resources would be depleted quickly.

Analysis of the data indicates that awakening from blast noise is significantly less likely during the time period between midnight and 0200 h compared to time periods before midnight and approaching dawn. These findings suggest that postponing noisy evening training until after midnight could effectively reduce the negative impact of nighttime training on local residents and thus help to preserve nighttime training capabilities.

To improve estimation of the source coordinates, one should take into account refraction of sound rays due to atmospheric stratification. Using a geometrical acoustics approximation for a stratified moving medium, formulas for the source coordinates are derived that account for sound refraction. The source coordinates are expressed in terms of the direction of sound propagation as measured by the sensor array, its coordinates, and the vertical profiles of temperature and wind velocity. Employing these formulas and typical temperature and wind velocity profiles in the atmosphere, it is shown numerically that sound refraction is important for accurate predictions of the source coordinates. Furthermore, it is shown that the effective sound speed approximation, which is widely used in atmospheric acoustics, fails to correctly predict the source coordinates if the grazing angle of sound propagation is relatively large.

An isolated building’s effect on propagating sound is a fundamental case of suburban acoustics and urban acoustics in general. Its study is a necessity in order to determine the processes that might be required to model the sound field in the building’s vicinity, e.g., diffraction and wind effects. The work herein presents the results of an experimental effort to characterize the interaction between propagating sound and a single story, gabled-roof building typical of some North American suburban and rural areas. Recorded data are found to reasonably compare to a common diffraction model in some instances.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 124 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 743 EP - 757 SN - 00014966 AB - The coherence function of sound waves propagating through an intermittently turbulent atmosphere is calculated theoretically. Intermittency mechanisms due to both the turbulent energy cascade (intrinsic intermittency) and spatially uneven production (global intermittency) are modeled using ensembles of quasiwavelets (QWs), which are analogous to turbulent eddies. The intrinsic intermittency is associated with decreasing spatial density (packing fraction) of the QWs with decreasing size. Global intermittency is introduced by allowing the local strength of the turbulence, as manifested by the amplitudes of the QWs, to vary in space according to superimposed Markov processes. The resulting turbulence spectrum is then used to evaluate the coherence function of a plane sound wave undergoing line-of-sight propagation. Predictions are made by a general simulation method and by an analytical derivation valid in the limit of Gaussian fluctuations in signal phase. It is shown that the average coherence function increases as a result of both intrinsic and global intermittency. When global intermittency is very strong, signal phase fluctuations become highly non-Gaussian and the average coherence is dominated by episodes with weak turbulence.

Each of them uses the interaural time delay, interaural level difference, and monaural spectral cues to estimate the location of a sound source. Given that most localization algorithms will be required to function in background noise, the localization performance of one of the algorithms was tested at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) from 40 to -40 dB. Stimuli included ten real-world, broadband sounds located at 5° intervals in azimuth and at 0° elevation. Both two- and four-microphone versions of the algorithm were implemented to localize sounds to 5° precision. The two-microphone version of the algorithm exhibited less than 2° mean localization error at SNRs of 20 dB and greater, and the four-microphone version committed approximately 1° mean error at SNRs of 10 dB or greater. Potential enhancements and applications of the algorithm are discussed.

Although the fast multipole method as the prototype of MLFMA was introduced to acoustics early, it has not been used to study acoustic problems with millions of unknowns. In this work, the MLFMA is applied to analyze the acoustic behavior for very large truncated ground with many trenches in order to investigate the approach for mitigating gun blast noise at proving grounds. The implementation of the MLFMA is based on the Nyström method to create matrix equations for the acoustic boundary integral equation. As the Nyström method has a simpler mechanism in the generation of far-interaction terms, which MLFMA acts on, the resulting scheme is more efficient than those based on the method of moments and the boundary element method (BEM). For near-interaction terms, the singular or near-singular integrals are evaluated using a robust technique, which differs from that in BEM. Due to the enhanced efficiency, the MLFMA can rapidly solve acoustic wave scattering problems with more than two million unknowns on workstations without involving parallel algorithms. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the performance of the MLFMA with report of consumed CPU time and memory usage.

The authors suggest eight leadership tasks that come to the fore when the mental model of the military as a professional CAS is used to examine the circumstances that engulf military activities: relationship building, loose coupling, complicating, diversifying, sensemaking, learning, improvising, and emergent thinking. These are distinguished from the traditional tasks of role defining, standardization, simplifying, socializing, decision making, knowing, commanding and controlling, and planning based on estimates.

AB - Objective: Few peripheral metabolites have been shown to be associated with mood in healthy individuals or patients with central nervous system diseases. During military basic combat training (BCT), mood state, physical performance and body composition substantially improve, providing an opportunity to examine relationships between mood and nutritional and hormonal biomarkers. Method: Thirty-five females enrolled in U.S. Marine BCT, an intense physically and mentally challenging 12-week course, were studied. Every 4 weeks, mood was assessed with the Profile of Mood States (POMS), as were nutritional, metabolic and hormonal plasma markers. Results: Mood and fitness improved over BCT, and there were substantial changes in biochemical markers. Multiple regression demonstrated that, in combination, cholesterol (HDL, LDL), fructosamine, triglycerides, free fatty acids (FFA), dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), ACTH, and substance P accounted for 44% of variation in anxiety, 40% confusion, 37% fatigue, 27% depression and 40% in total mood (p < .0001). Increased HDL, FFA, DHEA-S, and substance P were associated with degraded mood (p < .05). Increased LDL, triglycerides, fructosamine, and ACTH were associated with improved mood (p < .05). Other markers, including glucose, cortisol, and C-reactive protein were not associated with mood. Conclusions: Normal human mood state was associated with 8 plasma markers. Increased HDL and lower LDL, which are associated with improved cardiovascular status, were associated with negative affect. Fructosamine and substance P, not previously known to be related to mood, were associated with it. We are not aware of any biological parameters that in aggregate predict such a substantial proportion of variation in normal mood. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

Copyright Statement: U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral Sciences AB - The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could address different skill levels across soldiers. A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier’s skill level and that the combined adaptive- training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) AB - While videogames can easily be tailored to provide “adaptive training,” little research exists examining whether this benefit enhances training outcomes. The current study investigated three task difficulty manipulations and the moderating role of personality. Participants engaged in six 7-minute missions in a videogame-based training task. Openness to experience and neuroticism, but not conscientiousness, interacted with task difficulty condition such that trainees higher in these traits performed better over the course of training in the adaptive condition. These results suggest that adaptive training can result in the greatest performance improvement when the trainee’s personality is suited to the instructional environment.

The literature review encompassed modes of adapting ranging from classroom research to experimental investigations. Army instructors were interviewed to determine how they adapted instruction and the factors that impacted adapting. Integrating these efforts showed that the modes of adapting found in the literature and modes common to the Army did not overlap greatly. Army courses and populations also differed substantially from those in the literature. The research needed to address the major gaps between the academic and Army settings is discussed.

AB - The present research examined positive and negative leadership behaviors as predictors of stigma and practical barriers to mental health treatment. Soldiers completed measures of noncommissioned officer (NCO) and officer leadership, stigma, and practical barriers to getting mental health treatment at 2, 3, and 4 months following a 15-month deployment to Afghanistan. The results revealed that positive and negative NCO and officer leader behaviors were predictive of overall stigma and barriers to care (collapsed across the three time periods), with only NCO positive and negative behaviors being uniquely predictive of stigma when included in the same model with officer behaviors. In addition, negative and positive NCO leader behaviors were predictive of stigma within participants over the course of the three month time period, and positive NCO leader behaviors were inversely related to practical barriers to mental health treatment within participants across the same time period. The results are discussed in terms of how different leader behaviors may be linked to different factors influencing a soldier's decision to seek mental health treatment.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - We examined the relative effectiveness of hardiness and grit as predictors of performance and retention among first year cadets at the USMA. Based on past research and theory, we expected that both hardiness and grit would predict unique variance in performance and retention even after controlling for past performance as measured by the Whole Candidate Score. Results of regression analyses revealed that hardiness and grit predicted unique variance in first year retention, but only hardiness predicted first year performance at USMA. These findings suggest that hardiness assessment and training may prove valuable in enhancing performance and retention within military training environments.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - This study sought to investigate what happens to trainee performance when an individual sets an unrealistically difficult performance goal early in training, which results in a large goal-performance discrepancy. Data from 185 trainees participating in a videogame-based training environment demonstrated that a single large discrepancy negatively impacts immediate subsequent training performance. Moreover, performance avoid goal orientation and self-efficacy were found to jointly moderate the impact of the discrepancy for both trainees’ immediate subsequent performance and their rate of performance improvement across the training program. These findings highlight the importance of realistic goal-setting and trainee self-efficacy for optimizing videogame-based training success.

Much of this erosion Occurs on roads and trails created by repeated military vehicle traffic during training operations. If the roads are located on steep slopes or in areas of concentrated runoff, soil loss can be accelerated. A geographical information system software package and a modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (USE) were used to estimate erosion potential at Camp Atterbury .located in south-central Indiana. Geospatial interface to the Water Erosion Prediction Project model (GeoWEPP) was also used to estimate soil loss for the camp. Each erosion estimate was overlain with the roads and trails map. Estimated erosion levels on the camp's traffic ways with the USLE and GeoWEPP methods were then evaluated. with on-site inspections of erosion conditions at Camp Atterbury. A significant correlation was found between predicted and observed erosion for both the modified USLE and GeoWEPP methods. The statistical significance for the USLE and GeoWEPP procedures allows their use in estimating erosion potential for unimproved roads and trails with confidence.

Currently, we have little understanding of the types of minerals responsible for the magnetic behavior, as well as their distribution in space and evolution through time. This study investigated the magnetic characteristics and mineralogy of Fe-rich soils developed on basaltic substrate in Hawaii. We measured the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibility (Xlf) and frequency dependence (Xfd%) across three test areas in a well-developed eroded soil on Kaho'olawe and in two young soils on the Big Island of Hawaii. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), chemical dissolution, thermal analysis, and temperature-dependent magnetic studies were used to characterize soil development and mineralogy for samples from soil pits on Kaho'olawe, surface samples from all three test areas, and unweathered basalt from the Big Island of Hawaii. The measurements show a general increase in magnetic properties with increasing soil development. The )(RF Fe data ranged from 13% for fresh basalt and young soils on the Big Island to 58% for material from the B horizon of Kaho'olawe soils. Dithionite-extractable and oxalate-extractable Fe percentages increase with soil development and correlate with Xlf and Xfd% respectively. Results from the temperature-dependent susceptibility measurements show that the high soil magnetic properties observed in geophysical surveys in Kaho'olawe are entirely due to neoformed minerals. The results of our studies have implications for the existing soil survey of Kaho'olawe and help identify methods to characterize magnetic minerals in tropical soils.

The said method is based on the cleavage of adducted HD (protein-hydroxyethylthioethyl esters) to produce thiodiglycol. Following the cleavage, a deuterated internal standard is added, and the analytes are extracted, derivatized, and analyzed by gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. Inclusion of a concentration step, addition of solid sodium bicarbonate to neutralize excess derivatization reagent, and optimization of method and instrument conditions provided dramatic increases in signal-to-noise ratio. Precision and accuracy study was conducted for five days, including interday and intraday unknown analysis.

The AR surface, we call an inverse motheye, was formed by machining a multi-layer grating of subwavelength circular holes into a non-absorptive dielectric. This created low reflected energies (<-30 dB) over reasonably large bandwidths and incidence angles. An optimization algorithm, based on a direct pattern search, integrated with a rigorous electromagnetic model was used to design the grating geometries. Experimental results are provided at Ka-band demonstrating the validity of the method.

The specific problem analyzed is that of a periodic sequence of Gaussian pulses incident from free space into a forest region (vegetation). The incident pulse train is taken to be a spherical wave that is restricted to a specified solid angle, which is characteristic of radiation produced by a microwave or mm-wave antenna. The forest is modeled as a half-space of randomly distributed particles that scatter and absorb electromagnetic energy. In the forest, strong forward scattering occurs and the theory allows for a comprehensive characterization of the effect of vegetation on the propagation and scattering of spherical wave pulses: their attenuation, their angular spread, their distortion due to pulse broadening.

As forward scattering is the dominant mechanism for the near-ground wave propagation scenario, the associated rapidly-varying phase components of the integral equation kernel and solution unknowns are deduced and isolated in advance and subsequently built into the solver. It is shown that by applying this method, when combining with an adaptive surface segmentation routine, as. few as one to two average unknowns per wavelength is adequate in obtaining accurate solutions. This significantly reduces the memory storage and computational expense for the simulation of long-distance propagation effects. The efficiency of this method is further improved by incorporating it into the framework of the fast multipole scheme. The full details of the algorithm are discussed, along with performance comparisons of the new solver to a regular Nyström solver for terrain surfaces in terms of solution convergence.

Using the recently derived perturbation procedure for degenerate frequencies in crystal resonators, we show that when a planar stress system is applied, the degenerate frequency splits into two. This phenomenon is expected to be typical for degenerate frequencies in crystal resonators and may be responsible in part for the jump discontinuities in frequency temperature curves and other frequency jump phenomena.

For isotropic bodies, it can theoretically range from +1/2 to -1; the experimental gamut for anisotropics is even larger. The ratio is positive for all combinations of directions in most crystals. But as far back as the 1800s, Voigt and others found that negative values were encountered for some materials, a property now called auxeticity. Here we examine this property from the point of view of crystal stability and compute extrema of the ratio for various interesting and technologically important materials. Potential applications of the auxetic property are mentioned.

The purpose of the present research was to examine cognitive, dispositional, and motivational precursors to the propensity to engage in leadership self-development. A second purpose was to examine the role of organizational support on the relationships between self-development propensity and reported self-development activities. Over 400 junior-military leaders participated in a three-stage survey administration designed to test a structural model of leader self-development. Results indicate that a person having individual characteristics related to mastery, work, and career-growth orientations displayed more motivation to perform leader self-development and more skilled at performing instructional and self-regulatory processes. Higher self-development motivation and skill resulted in greater reported self-development activities. Surprisingly, organizational support reduced the magnitude of this relationship. This study concludes with implications for future research on and practice of leader self-development activities.

In the real world, however, this is rarely the case. Rather, multiple individuals within the team may serve as leaders in both formal and informal capacities, and the shifting of leadership responsibilities is often rooted in which individual''s expertise is most relevant to the given problem. In the present effort, we add to the rapidly growing body of work that focuses on the distribution of the leadership role among multiple individuals. We have reviewed relevant extant literature and proposed an integrated framework for understanding the collective leadership process. Also, in developing this framework we have taken an information and expertise-based approach such that we propose that collective leadership, or the distribution of the leadership role, is a function of selectively utilizing the information or specialized expertise that individuals within the network possess. In reviewing the framework, 55 propositions with regard to the collective leadership process are outlined and suggestions for future research are provided.

We start by defining and distinguishing extreme contexts from crisis and other contexts. A five component typology is developed comprised of magnitude of consequences, form of threat, probability of consequences, location in time and physical or psychological–social proximity. We discuss the unique influences these components have on leadership processes in extreme contexts examining the relevance of organization types such as critical action and high reliability organizations. Further, we present a set of factors that may attenuate or intensify the dimensions comprising an extreme context, thus influencing either a team or organization''s ability for adaptive leadership response. Ultimately this framework seeks to develop a richer understanding of extreme contexts to advance the future development of contextualized theories of leadership for extreme contexts.

This paper reports a method for improving the sensitivity of integrated capacitive chemical sensors by removing the underlying substrate. The sensor is integrated with CMOS testing electronics using maskless postprocessing followed by ink-jet deposition of a sensitive polymer. Two different methods of depositing polymer, namely, capillary wicking and coating the top surface directly, were investigated. The sensors had measured sensitivities of 0.16% to 0.18% change in capacitance per percent relative humidity, which is the highest demonstrated for an integrated capacitive humidity sensor. Temperature sensitivity of the sensor, which is an important criterion for a sensor intended for a variety of different ambient conditions, was measured to be 0.07%/°C. The cross sensitivities to toluene and acetone, which are two common industrial solvents that are filtered by respirator cartridges, were measured to be 2.4 × 10-4 and 9.0 × 10-5%/ppm, respectively.

The device is composed of a spiral-groove viscous pump driven by a radial in-flow microturbine and supported using a newly developed encapsulated microball bearing. A planar-contact bearing raceway is employed using 285-μm-diameter 440C stainless steel microballs. A modification to the raceway geometry, as compared to previous designs, has enabled repeatable operation of themicroturbine at speeds up to 87 000 r/min, showing negligible variations in performance for over 6 h and 3.8 million revolutions. Pumping has been demonstrated with water as the working fluid for flow rates of 10-80 mL/h and pressures rises of up to 8.2 kPa. This is the first application to incorporate an encapsulated microball bearing support mechanism, to achieve rotational speeds in excess of 50 000 r/min using a contact bearing, and to demonstrate reliable operation of more than 1 million revolutions.

The inductors and transformers were fabricated on Pyrex substrates with four layers of electrodeposited copper with each layer up to 10 µm thick. Stacked winding layers allowed for mutual coupling between layers to increase areal inductance density. Inductors of various designs exhibited inductance densities of up to 100 nH/mm² and quality factors approaching 20 in the frequency range of interest. Transformers were formed by interleaving primary and secondary coils and were designed with increased inductance in the secondary coil for voltage gain. A fabricated transformer, 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm in area, yielded 46 nH primary inductance and 500 nH secondary inductance with a coupling coefficient of 0.63. Measurements indicated that a maximum transformer efficiency of 78% at 125 MHz would be possible.

This is important from a practical viewpoint, because a measurement and characterization technique for the 3-D shapes of such particles can lead to an improved understanding of soil stability and influence the design of structural foundations. Previous techniques that have been developed for this purpose have proven to be complex, and the associated instrumentation has proven to be expensive. Furthermore, conventional 2-D shape measurement and description methods do not readily lend themselves to parsimonious 3-D representations. The situation is further complicated by the fact that, to parameterize the relationship between shape and shear characteristics, a single numerical descriptor is required to model the 3-D shapes of multiple particles in a natural sand particle mixture. This paper describes an optical tomography technique for the measurement of particle data that is then characterized using statistical 3-D shape descriptors. The algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) is used to synthesize 3-D particle shapes from 2-D tomography projections. It is shown that the measurement and characterization techniques used can provide distinct features for differently shaped particle mixtures and can be used to synthesize 3-D composite particles representative of the entire mix. The novelty of the technique described in this paper is that numerical shape descriptors can be obtained for not only a single 3-D object but also an entire collection of 3-D objects. Furthermore, the statistical nature of the 3-D shape descriptor of a particle mixture can be used to synthesize a mixture containing an arbitrary number of particles that have similar but not identical shapes. Results demonstrating the efficacy of the method on a set of natural sand particle mixtures are presented.

The method relies on properties of conditional order statistic distributions to convert censored data into i.i.d. uniform variates. A secondary result presents a new test for uniformity based on the convolution of these i.i.d. uniform random variables that is higher in power than the benchmark Anderson-Darling statistic in certain cases.

It has been experimentally established that the initial magnetostatic energy stored in the magnetic element of the FMG (determined by the magnet's maximum energy product (BH)max and its volume), not the residual magnetic flux density Br, is the principal parameter that determines the output energy and the amplitude of the signals produced by the generator. Systematic studies were carried out with miniature high-current FMGs containing Nd2Fe14B high-energy hard ferromagnetic elements having a wide range of sizes. Utilization of transverse-shock demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B magnets (shock wave propagates across the magnetization vector M) instead of longitudinal-shock demagnetization dramatically changed the design of the FMGs and reduced the mass of the explosives used by two orders of magnitude in comparison with that used in longitudinal FMGs. Data for the initial magnetic flux and shock-induced magnetic flux change in Nd2Fe14B magnets are presented. It was shown that FMGs with a volume of 25 cm³ are capable of producing pulsed currents with amplitudes of up to 4.4 kA and rise times of 23 μs in the seed coil of a magnetic flux compression generator.

The electric charge density that is released due to thermal heating at a rate of 0.9 K/min was consistent for all sample sizes (Q = 27.8 μC/cm²). The charge density that is released due to shock compression was practically equal to that released due to thermal heating. The PZT 52/48 samples were completely depolarized by longitudinal shock waves at shock front pressures of PSW = 1.5 ± 0.2 GPa. The electric charge that the samples release can be transformed into pulsed power. Miniature explosive-driven ferroelectric generators containing PZT 52/48 ceramic elements with a volume of 0.35- 3.5 cm³ are capable of converting the depolarization charge into pulses of high voltage with amplitudes of up to 22 kV and high power with a peak power of up to 0.35 MW within a time interval of 0.3-1.5 μs.

Long-wavelength (LW) photovoltaic devices fabricated on this compliant substrate material show diffusion limited performance at 78 K, indicating a high-quality material. The measured RoA at 78 K on λco = 10 µm material is on the order of 340 Ω · cm². In addition to single devices, we have fabricated 256 x 256 2-D arrays with a 40-µm pixel pitch on LW-HgCdTe grown on CdSexTe1-x/Si(211) compliant substrates. The data show an excellent quantum efficiency operability of 99% at 78 K under a tactical background flux of 6.7 x 1015 ph/cm²s. The most probable dark current at peak distribution is 5.5 x 109 e-/s and is very consistent with the measured RoA values from single devices. This work demonstrates that CdSexTe1-x/Si(211) substrates provide a potential roadmap for more affordable robust third-generation focal plane arrays.

The schemes use Wu-Chang spreading code, block interleaver, and synchronizable channel codes to support A-CDMA communications with random delays. For the noiseless case, each active user generates one of M messages, M = ⌊(2T-D - 1)/(D + 1)⌋, and a (T - D)-stage MLSR encoder encodes the message into a codeword of length T. Given a maximum random delay of D chips, the receiver can decode messages of all active users without ambiguity. For the noisy case, extended Bose-Caldwell cyclic codes are used to encode messages. The extended cyclic codes provide error correction and delay recovery effectively. By using a BCH code of length n as the cyclic code, the extended code can correct up to τ ≤ ⌊n/4⌋ errors and recover a maximum random delay of n - 1 chips.

The study data consisted of minute-by-minute glucose signals collected from nine deidentified patients over a five-day period using continuous glucose monitoring devices. AR models were developed using single and pairwise combinations of frequency bands of the glucose signal and compared with a reference model including all bands. The results suggest that: for open-loop applications, there is no need to explicitly represent exogenous inputs, such as meals and insulin intake, in AR models; models based on a single-frequency band, with periods between 60-120 min and 150-500 min, yield good predictive power (error < 3 mg/dL) for prediction horizons of up to 25 min; models based on pairs of bands produce predictions that are indistinguishable from those of the reference model as long as the 60-120 min period band is included; and AR models can be developed on signals of short length (~300 min), i.e., ignoring long circadian rhythms, without any detriment in prediction accuracy. Together, these findings provide insights into efficient development of more effective and parsimonious data-driven models for short-term prediction of glucose concentrations in diabetic patients.

We focus on the decision process of human participants who must choose between pairwise alternatives in a resource-allocation task. We used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to calculate the relative weights of the four alternatives (i.e., C1, C2, C3, and C4) and the judgment consistency. Using the AHP, we examined two sets of hypotheses that address the impact of task conditions on the weight prioritization of choice alternatives and the internal consistency of the judgment behavior under varying task conditions. The experiment simulated the allocation of robotic assets across the battlefield to collect data about an enemy. Participants had to make a judgment about which asset to allocate to a new area by taking into account three criteria related to the likelihood of success. We manipulated the information frame and the nature of the task. We found that, in general, participants gave significantly different weights to the same alternatives under different frames and task conditions. Specifically, in terms of ln-transformed priority weights, participants gave significantly lower weights to C2 and C4 and higher weight to C3 under gain frame than under loss frame, and also, under different task conditions (i.e., Tasks #1, #2, and #3), participants gave significantly higher weight to C4 in Task #1, lower weights to C1 and C4, higher weight to C3 in Task #2, and lower weight to C3 in Task #3. Furthermore, we found that the internal consistency of the decision behavior was worse, first, in the loss frame than the gain frame and, second, under time pressure. Our methodology complements utility-theoretic frameworks by assessing judgment consistency without requiring the use of task-performance outcomes. This work is a step toward establishing a coherence criterion to investigate judgment under naturalistic conditions. The results will be useful for the design of multiattribute interfaces and decision aiding tools for real-time judgments in time-pressured task environments.

In this paper, we employ an experience-based cognitive agent architecture (called R-CAST) to address the informational challenges associated with military command and control (C2) decision-making teams, the performance of which can be significantly affected by dynamic context switching and tasking complexities. Using context switching frequency and task complexity as two factors, we conducted an experiment to evaluate whether the use of R-CAST agents as teammates and decision aids can benefit C2 decision-making teams. Members from a U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps organization were randomly recruited as human participants. They were grouped into ten human-human teams, each composed of two participants, and ten human-agent teams, each composed of one participant and two R-CAST agents, as teammates and decision aids. The statistical inference of experimental results indicates that R-CAST agents can significantly improve the performance of C2 teams in multicontext decision making under varying time-stressed situations.

Accordingly, police departments, military organizations, and intelligence agencies seek to learn these preferences and identify locations with a high probability of experiencing the particular event of interest in the near future. Often, such agencies are keen not just to predict the spatial pattern of future events but even more importantly to conduct threat assessments of particular criminal gangs or insurgent groups. These threat assessments include identifying where each of the various groups presents the greatest threat to the community, what the most likely targets are for each criminal group, what makes one location more likely to experience an attack than another, and how to most efficiently allocate resources to address the specific threats to the community. Previous research has demonstrated that applying multivariate prediction models to relate features in an area to the occurrence of crimes offers an improvement in predictive performance over traditional methods of hot-spot analysis. This paper introduces the application of multilevel modeling to these multivariate spatial choice models, demonstrating that it is possible to significantly improve the predictive performance of the spatial choice models for individual groups and leverage that information to provide improved threat assessments of the criminal elements in a given geographic area.

The model predicts the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the water depth and horizontal velocity. The model is compared with four test series in which measurement was made of the wave overtopping rate and probability as well as the water depth, velocity, and discharge exceeded by 2% of incident 1,000 waves. The agreement is mostly within a factor of 2. Damage progression of a stone armor layer is predicted by modifying a formula for bed load on beaches with input from the hydrodynamic model. The damage progression model is compared with three tests that lasted up to 28.5 h. The model predicts the eroded area of the damaged armor layer well but overpredicts the deposited area because it does not account for discrete stone units deposited at a distance seaward of the toe of the damaged armor layer.

This study provides a procedure to include air emissions resulting from the combustion of diesel fuel during dredging operations into the dredging equipment selection decision-making process. The proposed procedure includes a limited life cycle assessment and is demonstrated for typical dredging methods and data from the Illinois Waterway as performed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, Ill. It was found that commonly used rules of thumb in the dredging industry hold true by indicating that mechanical bucket dredges are better suited for long transport distances and have lower air emissions and cost per cubic meter (m3) for smaller quantities of dredged material. In addition, the results show that a cutterhead pipeline dredge would be preferable for moderate and large volumes of dredged material when no additional booster pumps are required. Finally, the results indicate that production rates can be a significant factor when evaluating the air emissions from comparable dredging equipment.

However, balancing engineering design functionality with public and community desire to maintain beach and waterfront views are often a challenge. Here, a variable-height bulkhead design concept is introduced. This bulkhead is designed to rise and fall with floodwaters to achieve design overtopping protection while maintaining views during nonstorm conditions. In this technical note, the functional variable-height bulkhead design is presented and laboratory tested. The design requirement that the bulkhead rise and fall with water levels was validated through this testing. Experimental results indicate that the variable-height bulkhead provides overtopping protection comparable to that of a static vertical wall with the same freeboard, showing that the variable-height bulkhead concept is, in terms of overtopping, a viable alternative for coastal storm protection. Testing has been carried out mainly for low energy conditions occurring, for example, in coastal bays and harbors. Further testing is required to include higher-energy environments such as the open coast. Finally, testing the structural design of the system is of primary importance.

Overeducated workers are defined as those with educational attainments substantially above the mean for their specific occupations. Two models are estimated using data from the 1980 census. Though our models, data, and measure of overeducation are different from those used by Rumberger (1987), our results are similar. Our results show that overeducated workers often earn < their adequately educated and undereducated counterparts.

Because of substantial labor force withdrawal, the unemployment effects are practically zero. These minimum wage effects differ very little by sex, and there is no strong evidence that the effects vary by race. The study also finds a significant—albeit small—unemployment impact for young adults (20–24) and examines the consequences of numerous alternative statistical and mathematical specifications of the estimating model.

An inventory was developed to measure the 6 constructs. In addition, 4 response validity scales were developed to measure accuracy of self-description. These scales were administered in three contexts: a concurrent criterion-related validity study, a faking experiment, and an applicant setting. Sample sizes were 9,188, 245, and 125, respectively. Results showed that (a) validities were in the .20s (uncorrected for unreliability or restriction in range) against targeted criterion constructs, (b) respondents successfully distorted their self-descriptions when instructed to do so, (c) response validity scales were responsive to different types of distortion, (d) applicants' responses did not reflect evidence of distortion, and (e) validities remained stable regardless of possible distortion by respondents in either unusually positive or negative directions.

Subjects were 64 university business students who had at least 6 months of supervisory experience. Female raters delayed longer when conducting performance appraisals and when scheduling feedback sessions with subordinates, and more positively distorted ratings than did male raters. Moderately low performers were evaluated and scheduled for feedback sessions later, and were evaluated with more positive distortion than were moderately high performers. When required to provide feedback, raters delayed longer appraising performance and distorted ratings more positively. Significant interactions suggest that when feedback is required, female raters may delay appraisals, delay scheduling feedback sessions, and more positively distort their ratings of performance, particularly when rating low performers.

We sought to discover factors that might allow us to predict which mothers would have more negative attitudes toward preterm infants, Using the concept of hedonic relevance, we hypothesized that any negative variable associated with having a preterm child would lead to more negative attitudes toward that child. We administered a modified form of the Schaefer and Bell Parental Attitude Research Instrument, and also a questionnaire on various background variables to 52 women who had recently borne a premature child. Correlational analysis supported our hypothesis. Some of the most significant correlates of negative maternal attitudes were: the mother being young (r = .40), non-white (r = .34), and less religious (r = .34), having had a brief marriage so far (r = .27), and feeling responsible for the child being premature (r = -.37), with probability levels ranging from .05 to .01. These data constitute the beginnings of a profile which health professionals can use to spot potentially negative mothers who might need special preventive attention.

JO - Personnel Psychology JF - Personnel Psychology Y1 - 1990///Summer90 VL - 43 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 367 EP - 378 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00315826 AB - For purposes of selection and classification there are two general reasons for scaling the mean and variance of the utility of performance across jobs. First, if differential utility across jobs does exist, then the payoff from a selection and classification system will be enhanced to the extent that accurate utility values are incorporated in the assignment system. Second, a valid utility metric would permit a more meaningful comparison of the gains achieved by alternative selection and classification procedures. It is argued in this paper that the Army context, and perhaps others, precludes using the dollar metric and estimates of SDy in dollars. Consequently, Project A conducted a relatively long series of exploratory workshops with Army personnel to (a) define the utility issue, (b) pilot test a wide variety of possible scaling methods, and (c) evaluate the methods that seemed most appropriate. On the basis of exploratory analysis, a combined procedure incorporating both an interval estimation and a ratio estimation method was used to estimate the utility of five different performance levels for each of 276 jobs (MOS) in the enlisted personnel system. The psychometric properties of the resulting scale values are analyzed and discussed.

These measures were to be used as criteria against which to validate both experimental and existing predictors of job performance. The initial model specified that performance is multidimensional within two major categories of dimensions designated as organization-wide and job specific. The development strategy involved describing the total domain of job content via extensive task analyses and critical incident analyses, generating the critical performance dimensions that constitute it, constructing measures for each dimension, and evaluating each measure using expert judgment and field test data. The specific measures developed consisted of rating scales, tests of job knowledge, hands-on job samples, and archival records. The major steps in the job analyses, content sampling, instrument construction, and instrument evaluation are described, and the final array of criterion measures is presented.

Many of the traditional characteristics of the military profession are subject to the influence of societal trends. The dynamics of change are several. First, the continuing social revolution in the United States has had an important impact upon the military. The reappearance in the mid-1960s of virulent anti-militarism expanded significantly the number and difficulty of the problems with which the professional military officer was confronted. Drugs, racism, and dissent impacted upon the military, raising challenges on moral, philosophical, and ideological grounds to established traditions, policies, and practices. Second, the gradual - emergence of "worker democracy," the amilitarism of the 1970s, and the demise of military conscription have changed the character of the personnel resources available to the military and raised new challenges for the leadership of the armed forces. The impact of societal change on the military profession has been real. Clearly, technology has had enormous impact on the weapons components of force structure. However, the major effects of change in the context of this article relate to people in the profession.

While the forecasting accuracy of their analysis is encouraging, the authors in this article have also been able to predict future military accessions with a very different set of estimating equations. These equations are quite robust in yielding both sizable and significant pay and unemployment elasticities. This article specifies a time-series model from which are derived relatively large pay and unemployment effects, and compares these results to those obtained by Ash, Bernard and McNown. This model is used to predict future Army enlistments of nonprior service male high school graduates. It is shown here that the use of contracts data produces results that are more in agreement with both economic theory and a priori expectations. The authors agree with Ash, Bernard and McNown that contracts, rather than accessions, are the correct data to use.

Empirically it has been found that a significant number of inventoried items possess a demand pattern of this type. For a reorder-point (R), order-up-to-level (M) system under continuous review develop a practical procedure for determining the values of and complete backordering we R and M as functions of three given parameters. The three parameters are (i) the average transaction size, (ii) the desired service level, and (iii) a factor that is a composite of unit costs, demand rate, and forecast uncertainty. The procedure is compared With a simpler method of ignoring the fact that the transactions can be larger than unit size (this latter method having already been presented in the literature). The comparison is in terms of cost and service errors as functions of the three parameters mentioned above. An important feature of the paper is a careful discussion of the assumptions inherent in the derivation of the procedure. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Dans ce paragraphe, nous considérons un article dont la courbe de demande affecte essentiellement la forme d'une distribution de Poisson (des transactions à fréquences selon la loi de Poisson et dont les grandeurs sont distribuées géométriquement). De façon empirique, il a été trouvé qu'un nombre important d'articles en inventaire possèdent un patron de demande de ce type. Pour un point de relance de commande (R), et pour un système de commandes jusqu'à un niveau de stock (M), système à inspection continuelle et à satisfaction complète des commandes en suspens, nous développons une méthode pratique pour déterminer les valeurs de R et de M en fonction de trois (3) paramètres connus. Ces trois paramètres sont: (i) la grandeur de la transaction moyenne, (ii) le niveau de service souhaité, (iii) un facteur qui est la résultante des coûts unitaires, du taux de demande et de l'imprécision de la prévision. Cette méthode est comparée à une méthode plus simple qui néglige le fait que les transactions peuvent être plus grandes que 1 (cette dernière méthode ayant déjà été publiée). La comparaison est faite en termes de coût, des erreurs de services et toujours en fonction des paramètres déjà mentionnés. L'aspect important de ce présent parag-raphe est l'attention portée à la discussion des hypothèses inhérentes à la préparation de la méthode.

JO - Personnel Psychology JF - Personnel Psychology Y1 - 1985///Spring85 VL - 38 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 40 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00315826 AB - The standard deviation of performance quality measured in dollars, SD$, is critical to calculating the utility of personnel decisions. A popular technique for obtaining SD$ calls for supervisor estimates of the dollar value of performance at different levels. In many cases supervisors can base their estimates on the cost of contracting out the various levels of performance. Estimation problems can arise, however, in contexts where contracting out is not possible, such as in government organizations without private industry counterparts. Estimation problems may also exist where individual salary is only a small percentage of the value of the performance to the organization or of the equipment operated. This paper presents two strategies for estimating the value of performance and for determining SD$ by considering the changes in the numbers and performance levels of system units which lead to increased aggregate performance. One hundred U.S. Army tank commanders provided data about their jobs for these two strategies as well as for the supervisor estimation and salary percentage strategies. The new strategies appear to provide more appropriate and acceptable values of SD$ for those complex, expensive systems where dollar values of performance are less easily estimated.

The two leadership style measures, Assumed Similarity between Opposites and least preferred, and Consideration-Initiating Structure, would appear at first to be measures of a common personality characteristic in that they both appear to be measuring the extent to which an individual distinguishes between a person and that person's productivity. Self-esteem and self-satisfaction are defined by ratings. Self-esteem is an evaluation of self on a self-description scale, while self-satisfaction is defined as the discrepancy between the self-esteem score and an "ideal"-self score. The article also attempts to determine what changes take place in certain indices of leadership effectiveness as a result of prolonged experience factors involving varying degrees of group task stress. It hypothesizes that the more intense the level of experience, in terms of individual responsibility and group task stress, the greater will be the change in the leader's score.

In September 1975, OECS opened its doors to the training of in-house consultants with a staff of 19 officers, 6 enlisted personnel and 21 Department of the Army civilians. At that time, both the inception and development of the program were sanctioned by a strong champion, then Chief-of-Staff, General Bernard Rogers. During its ten year existence, OECS grew in size and differentiated to meet environmental challenge. The environment itself was made complex by both resistance to OD in the Army as well as by attempts of OECS to provide up-to-date and meaningful assistance. In response to these challenges, the course in which organizational effectiveness staff officers were trained reflected several changes over the years, often paralleling developmental in the OD field at large. The staff and faculty reached a size of 34 officers, 33 civilians and 16 enlisted scholars. Over a ten year period, 1,702 persons graduated from the program and were assigned to over 600 consultant positions Army-wide.

The thinking behind this experiment was that if a good demand forecast could be made in this manner, insurance companies could have a cheap, quick, yet sophisticated method of estimating demand in advance. This estimate could be used to check more complicated demand forecasts made at greater cost. The demand forecast presented in the paper used as dependent variables the relative price of life insurance; number of marriages; number of births; personal income; population; and employment. These variables, when used with the U.C.L.A. Biomedical 03R--Multiple Regression with Case Combinations program, proved able to forecast insurance demand with reasonable accuracy in most cases. The authors experimented with various combinations of these and other variables, but this set proved the most accurate forecaster. All of the dependent variables are widely available and estimated for the near future by many competent forecasters. Much time was consumed preparing this forecast, but once it was set up, it proved to be very easy to utilize. It is estimated that less than one man day of skilled work would be required to make this estimate annually. Executives can judge whether or not such estimates would be worthwhile for their companies.

Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

However, researchers are only beginning to empirically explore the communicative aspects and constitution of military units and leadership in these contexts. This article highlights communicative features and processes in studies of distributed military units, particularly in those that examine leadership. We discuss aspects of military leadership that are in particular need of a communicative lens, including the communication of command intent, sensemaking, and leading across multiple cultures. We present future research directions that will further advance our understanding of the inextricable relationship between leadership and communication in distributed contexts.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Shared leadership involves building a broader and deeper capacity for leadership that goes beyond a formally appointed leader. Several models of team leadership are reviewed, distinguishing between the leadership of teams from leadership in teams. Shared leadership is a variant of the latter in which everyone on the team is responsible for leadership and where leadership emerges through patterned interactions of team members. Overall, shared leadership appears to be a possibility for the military— and one that is needed because of the increasing complexity of missions—but efforts need to be undertaken to incorporate it into formal training and doctrine.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - A fundamental tension in military ethics is not just how to prevent unethical behavior, but also how to inspire supererogatory conduct “above and beyond the call of duty.” In this article, we provide a conceptual analysis and integrative framework for understanding the dynamics of military ethics based on two contrasting but complementary moralities—moralities of obligation and aspiration; and two types of moral motivation—rule-following and identity-conferring. We then provide analysis of the exemplary leadership required to inform and inspire military members to realize the aspirations embedded in an exemplary military ethic.

(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2009-17643-013[/rid].) Researchers have found that there is an increase in mental heath problems as a result of military-related traumatic events, and such problems increase in the months following return from combat. Nevertheless, researchers have not assessed the impact of early intervention efforts with this at-risk population. In the present study, the authors compared different early interventions with 2,297 U.S. soldiers following a year-long deployment to Iraq. Platoons were randomly assigned to standard postdeployment stress education, Battlemind debriefing, and small and large group Battlemind training. Results from a 4-month follow-up with 1,060 participants showed those with high levels of combat exposure who received Battlemind debriefing reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression symptoms, and sleep problems than those in stress education. Small group Battlemind training participants with high combat exposure reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms and sleep problems than stress education participants. Compared to stress education participants, large group Battlemind training participants with high combat exposure reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms and lower levels of stigma and, regardless of combat exposure, reported fewer depression symptoms. Findings demonstrate that brief early interventions have the potential to be effective with at-risk occupational groups.

Army suicide rates increased from 9 per 100,000 in 2001 to 22 per 100,000 in 2009. Soldier suicides were lower than civilians from 2001 to 2007, but higher than civilians after 2007. Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%).

AB - The present study examined the normative scores and psychometric properties of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991) within a non-treatment-seeking sample of soldiers deployed to combat zones in Iraq, compared with a sample of community adults matched with respect to age and gender. Results indicate the scores and properties of the PAI scales were generally quite similar in the Iraq and community samples, with modest differences emerging on only 3 subscales addressing antisocial behavior, issues with close relationships, and interpersonal vigilance. These results suggest that standard normative interpretation of PAI scales is appropriate even when the instrument is administered in a combat zone. In comparison with prior research, the results may suggest that documented mental health issues among combat veterans, when present, may be particularly likely to emerge postdeployment.

We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database to compute the rates of AFI to identify high-risk ADA groups for the years 2000-2006. During this time, 16% of soldiers were clinically seen at least once for an AFI. Yearly, 60% to 70% of ADA soldiers with AFI had an ankle sprain/strain, and ankle sprain/strain had the highest 7-year rate of all AFIs (103 per 1,000). From 2000 to 2006, all AFI rates declined; however, enlisted male soldiers < or = 30 years of age without an advanced degree were at highest risk. A history of an AFI in the previous 2 years increased AFI rates by 93% to 160%. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for identifying specific ADA groups at high risk of AFI; these groups should be targeted for preventive interventions.

AB - Abstract: Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether the addition of postdischarge oral secobarbital to standard emergency department (ED) migraine headache therapy improves pain relief and headache resolution compared with placebo. Setting: The setting is an urban ED with 70 000 yearly visits. Methods: This is an Institutional Review Board–approved, randomized, nonconsecutive, double-blinded, concealed, and placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of migraine underwent standard ED treatment and were discharged with 2 tablets of either secobarbital 100 mg or placebo. At home arrival, subjects recorded headache pain on a visual analog scale (VAS), took 1 tablet, and went to bed, taking the second tablet after 1 hour if not asleep. Upon awakening, subjects completed a second VAS and survey. Statistical analysis: The VAS data were analyzed using 2-tailed t test with unequal variance. Headache resolution data were analyzed using Fisher exact test. Results: Fifty subjects were enrolled. Complete data and follow-up were available for 30 subjects (60%). Fourteen subjects received placebo; 16 received secobarbital. Secobarbital subjects reported an average headache pain decrease of 25 mm (−13 to −38) compared with an average increase of 3 mm (−13 to 19) in the placebo group (P = .01). Ninety-four percent of the secobarbital group vs 50% of the placebo group had complete or partial headache resolution (P < .02). All subjects in the secobarbital group reported some relief. Conclusions: Addition of postdischarge oral secobarbital to a standard ED migraine treatment regimen decreased headache pain at 24 hours after discharge and improved the rate of headache resolution compared with placebo.

JO - Journal of Fire Sciences JF - Journal of Fire Sciences Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 34 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 468 EP - 489 SN - 07349041 AB - The advantage of utilizing modeling to study fire performance of textiles is the ability to conduct detailed studies of the effect of fabric characteristics on flame spread. First, two textile materials are chosen for modeling that exhibit two limit cases: complete flame spread (nylon 6,6/cotton fiber fabric) and self-extinguish (flame retardant rayon/nylon 6,6/para-aramid fiber fabric) in the standard vertical flame test (ASTM D6413). Parameter estimation for unknown model parameters is performed for these samples followed by a sensitivity analysis. Then a new sample is modeled—flame retardant cotton fiber fabric, flame retardant cotton. This modeling exercise shows that computational fluid dynamics modeling is capable of capturing the fire characteristics of different fabric samples in the vertical flame test only when the parameters are carefully estimated considering the modeling assumptions and approaches. Additionally, several areas for further investigation are proposed to improve simulation capability when conducting vertical flame test modeling with textile samples.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 2016/10/21/ VL - 354 IS - 6310 M3 - Article SP - 350 EP - 354 SN - 00368075 AB - There is an urgent need for monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies that broadly protect against Ebola virus and other filoviruses. The conserved, essential interaction between the filovirus glycoprotein, GP, and its entry receptor Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) provides an attractive target for such mAbs but is shielded by multiple mechanisms, including physical sequestration in late endosomes. Here, we describe a bispecific-antibody strategy to target this interaction, in which mAbs specific for NPC1 or the GP receptor–binding site are coupled to a mAb against a conserved, surface-exposed GP epitope. Bispecific antibodies, but not parent mAbs, neutralized all known ebolaviruses by coopting viral particles themselves for endosomal delivery and conferred postexposure protection against multiple ebolaviruses in mice. Such “Trojan horse” bispecific antibodies have potential as broad antifilovirus immunotherapeutics.

JO - Mathematics & Mechanics of Solids JF - Mathematics & Mechanics of Solids Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 21 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 747 EP - 770 SN - 10812865 AB - A transversely isotropic visco-hyperelastic constitutive model is provided for soft tissues, which accounts for large deformations, high strain rates, and short-term memory effects. In the first part, a constitutive model for quasi-static deformations of soft tissues is presented, in which a soft tissue is simulated as a transversely isotropic hyperelastic material composed of a matrix and reinforcing fibers. The strain energy density function for the soft tissue is additively decomposed into two terms: a neo-Hookean function for the base matrix, and a polyconvex polynomial function of four invariants for the fibers. A comparison with existing experimental data for porcine brain tissues and bovine pericardium shows that this new model can well represent the quasi-static mechanical behavior of soft tissues. In the second part, a viscous potential is proposed to describe the rate-dependent short-term memory effects, resulting in a visco-hyperelastic constitutive model. This model is tested for a range of strain rates from 0.1 /s to 90 /s and for multiple loading scenarios based on available experimental data for porcine and human brain tissues. The model can be applied to other soft tissues by using different values of material and fitting parameters.

JO - Journal of Community Health JF - Journal of Community Health Y1 - 2016/10// VL - 41 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 939 EP - 945 SN - 00945145 AB - In the past, several enteric outbreaks in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2003 caused by Salmonella typhi, a Gram-negative bacterium, have occurred in Armenia. This study describes the demographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of febrile hospitalized patients with intestinal infections in Armenia. Using a chart review study design, medical data from adult patients who were hospitalized at the Nork hospital during 2010-2012 were reviewed. A total of 600 medical charts were reviewed. Of these, 51 % were diagnosed with intestinal infections. Among these patients, 59 % had an intestinal infection of known etiology, with three main pathogens identified: Salmonella sp. (32 %), Shigella sp. (32 %), and Staphylococcus aureus (18 %). After controlling for the calendar year, age in years, and gender, patients detected with Salmonella sp. were more likely to reported the presence of a family member with similar signs or symptoms [odds ratio (OR) 9.0; 95 % CI 2.4-33.7] and the lack of a water tap at home (OR 3.9; 95 % CI 1.7-9.5). Evidence indicates that Salmonella sp., Shigella sp., and S. aureus as the most common etiologies reported among febrile hospitalized patients. A high percentage of patients had intestinal infections of unknown etiology; thus, improvement in laboratory capacity (enabling more advanced tests, such as polymerase chain reaction) would increase the identification of the enteropathogens causing disease in Armenia.

T1 - Comparison of the Suture Anchor and Transosseous Techniques for Patellar Tendon Repair. JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 44 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2076 EP - 2080 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Minimizing gap formation and maximizing the strength of patellar tendon repairs are 2 critical factors for successful healing of these injuries. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare transosseous and screw-in anchor repair techniques to determine if there is a difference in gap formation and load to failure of the 2 constructs. The research hypotheses were that the anchor construct would have significantly less gap formation and would also have significantly greater load-to-failure strength. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 24 porcine specimens were randomly assigned into transosseous and 4.75-mm polyetheretherketone (PEEK) screw-in anchor repair groups. The repairs were then completed using 2 No. 2 FiberWire sutures, and each specimen was cyclically loaded on a tensile test machine to 250 N for a total of 1000 cycles. Gap formation was measured at 1, 10, 250, 500, and 1000 cycles. Each specimen was loaded to failure after 1000 cycles. Independent t tests were conducted. Results: Statistically significant gap formation and load-to-failure differences were found between the 2 repair techniques. The mean gap in the anchor group (2.16 ± 1.81 mm) was significantly less than that seen in the transosseous group (5.71 ± 1.58 mm) (P < .001). The mean load to failure of the anchor group (669.9 ± 91.8 N) was significantly higher than that of the transosseous group (582.8 ± 92.6 N) (P = .03). Conclusion: The results support the 2 study hypotheses. These findings suggest that the 4.75-mm PEEK screw-in anchor construct may be superior to the transosseous technique for minimizing gap formation and improving load-to-failure strength after surgical repair of the patellar tendon. Clinical Relevance: The use of the suture anchor technique in patellar tendon repair may support early load-bearing rehabilitation.

AB - This study examined the neurocognitive performance of U.S. military personnel completing the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (version 4) TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery as part of the Department of Defense Neurocognitive Functional Assessment Program. Descriptive analyses utilizing the ANAM4TBI Military Performance Database were performed. We examined ANAM Composite Score (ACS) differences between five injury subgroups (no injury, brain injury with current symptoms, brain injury without current symptoms, nonbrain injury with current symptoms, and nonbrain injury without current symptoms) using general linear mixed modeling. Almost 11% (70,472/641,285) reported brain injury in the 4 years before assessment. The ACS differed significantly by injury group (p < 0.0001). In comparison to the no injury group, those reporting brain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.44) and nonbrain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.24) demonstrated significantly reduced ACS scores (p < 0.0001) indicative of reduced neurocognitive proficiency. In this population-based study of U.S. military personnel, neurocognitive performance was significantly associated with reported injury within the past 4 years among those experiencing current symptoms. Occupational programs focusing on prospective brain health of injured population groups are warranted.

AB - Mentored individuals across disciplines consistently report more positive training and career-related satisfaction and outcomes than nonmentored individuals. Although there is a significant amount of research related to mentoring in the fields of education, nursing, business, and medical professions, there is a dearth of research on the implementation and effectiveness of mentoring programs in clinical psychology training programs, such as internships and postdoctoral fellowships (Green & Hawkley, 2009). Few, if any, studies have examined the feasibility and potential impact of developing mentoring programs in predoctoral and postdoctoral clinical psychology training sites. The current article seeks to address this gap in the literature by discussing the development and implementation of a mentoring program for clinical psychology postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral interns in a 1-year training program at a large Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The benefits of having a mentoring relationship that is independent of clinical supervision are discussed. Implications for mentoring in similar clinical training programs and considerations for developing a mentoring program will be discussed.

Recently, Milton Friedman and L.J. Savage, economists have advanced a rationalization of an important class of reactions to risk in terms of a utility function which is concave upward over a certain range of incomes; i.e., a function such that the marginal utility of money income increases over that range. The purpose of this article is to point out some inadequacies and oversimplifications of each of these two theories and to suggest an approach which seems to make possible a more satisfactory analysis of economically significant risky choices. The article concludes that if utility is an increasing straight-line function of income associated with operational decisions, then the theories suggested in the article based on profit-maximizing entrepreneurs are justified. The chief virtue of this model is its provision of systematic insight into the role of uncertainty as it affects investment and other types of operational decisions.

SEB binds directly to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells and T-cell receptors on T cells triggering T-cell proliferation and mediator release. SEB is a biothreat agent because of its ability to potently activate cells of the immune system. In vivo animal models are critical in the development of therapeutics against SEB-induced shock. Our results show that three different mouse strains with different susceptibility to SEB can be used to study SEB-induced shock without the use of potentiating agents. The hypothermic response, weight loss, and induction of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 2 (IL-2), and IL-6 correlated with mortality in all three models.

It has also been used experimentally as a pretreatment and/or treatment adjunct to mitigate the toxic sequelae of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agent intoxication. SCP has been reported to increase survival, prevent or terminate seizures, and reduce morbidity from nerve agent intoxication in a number of animal models. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine dose, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pretreatment, and oxime selection on the efficacy of SCP as an adjunctive treatment to enhance survival following lethal nerve agent exposure in guinea pigs. The results indicate that the use of an effective oxime and/or PB pretreatment was a critical factor in determining the efficacy of SCP. SCP can also reduce the dose of atropine required for survival against lethal nerve agent intoxication.

Soldiers (n = 524) attending training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas completed self-report questionnaires and a foot assessment, which included measurement of foot size and arch height index. Researchers examined each soldier's running shoes for type, wear pattern, and general condition. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers wore shoes that were inappropriately sized; 56.5% wore shoes that were inappropriate for their foot type. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers had excessively worn shoes and 63% did not know recommended shoe replacement guidelines. Further efforts may be necessary to ensure that soldiers are aware of and compliant with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines. Future research is needed to determine whether adherence to these guidelines has a favorable effect on reducing risk of overuse injury.

The purpose of this review was to determine whether there is evidence-based justification to recommend purchase and promotion of probiotic-containing food in military dining facilities (DFACs). Peer-reviewed literature was searched to identify well-conducted systematic reviews and original research related to the efficacy of probiotics in preventing and/or treating acute infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis, dental health issues, and female urogenital conditions. Probiotics may be useful for preventing and/or treating military-relevant health conditions. However, the available scientific evidence is not sufficient to warrant widespread procurement and promotion of probiotic-containing food items in military DFACs. Health care practitioners considering recommending probiotics should understand that health effects and clinical outcomes discussed herein are specific to the probiotic strain, dose, and method of delivery studied in the articles cited.

However, we found an absence of prospective studies comparing high-frequency percussive ventilation with contemporary low-tidal volume ventilation strategies. The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare the two ventilator modalities in a burn intensive care unit setting. DESIGN: Single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial, comparing high-frequency percussive ventilation with low-tidal volume ventilation in patients admitted to our burn intensive care unit with respiratory failure. SETTING: A 16-bed burn intensive care unit at a tertiary military teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Adult patients >= 18 yrs of age requiring prolonged (> 24 hrs) mechanical ventilation were admitted to the burn intensive care unit. The study was conducted over a 3-yr period between April 2006 and May 2009. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT00351741. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects were randomly assigned to receive mechanical ventilation through a high-frequency percussive ventilation-based strategy (n = 31) or a low-tidal volume ventilation-based strategy (n = 31). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: At baseline, both the high-frequency percussive ventilation group and the low-tidal volume ventilation group had similar demographics to include median age (interquartile range) (28 yrs [23-45] vs. 33 yrs [24-46], p = nonsignificant), percentage of total body surface area burn (34 [20-52] vs. 34 [23-50], p = nonsignificant), and clinical diagnosis of inhalation injury (39% vs. 35%, p = nonsignificant). The primary outcome was ventilator-free days in the first 28 days after randomization. Intent-to-treat analysis revealed no significant difference between the high-frequency percussive ventilation and the low-tidal volume ventilation groups in mean (± sd) ventilator-free days (12 ± 9 vs. 11 ± 9, p = nonsignificant). No significant difference was detected between groups for any of the secondary outcome measures to include mortality except the need for 'rescue' mode application (p = .02). Nine (29%) in the low-tidal volume ventilation arm did not meet predetermined oxygenation or ventilation goals and required transition to a rescue mode. By contrast, two in the high-frequency percussive ventilation arm (6%) required rescue. CONCLUSIONS: A high-frequency percussive ventilation-based strategy resulted in similar clinical outcomes when compared with a low-tidal volume ventilation-based strategy in burn patients with respiratory failure. However, the low-tidal volume ventilation strategy failed to achieve ventilation and oxygenation goals in a higher percentage necessitating rescue ventilation.

Background: Ankle sprains often result in chronic instability and dysfunction. Several clinical tests assess postural deficits as a potential cause of this dysfunction; however, limited information exists pertaining to the relationship that these tests have with one another. Methods: Two independent examiners measured the performance of 34 healthy participants completing the SLB Test, mBESS test, and mSEBT at two different time periods. The relationship between tests was assessed using the Pearson Correlation and Fisher's Exact Tests. Inter-rater and test-retest reliability were assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Kappa statistics. Results: A significant correlation (r = -0.35) was observed between the mSEBT and the mBESS. Fisher's Exact Test showed a significant association between the SLB Test and mBESS (P = .048), but no association between the SLB and mSEBT (P = 1.000). Inter-rater reliability was excellent for the mSEBT and fair for the mBESS (ICCs of .91 and .61 respectively). Excellent agreement was observed between raters for the SLB test (Kappa = 1.00). Test-retest reliability was excellent for the mSEBT (ICC = 0.98) and fair for the mBESS (ICC = 0.74). There was poor test-retest agreement for the SLB test (Kappa = .211). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship observed between the SLB Test, mBESS test, and mSEBT: however; strength of association measures showed limited overlap between these tests. This suggests that these tests are interrelated but may not assess equal components of postural stability.

AB - Navigators use both external cues and internal heuristics to help them plan efficient routes through environments. In six experiments, we discover and seek the origin of a novel heuristic that causes participants to preferentially choose southern rather than northern routes during map-based route planning. Experiment 1 demonstrates that participants who are tasked to choose between two equal-length routes, one going generally north and one south, show reliable decision preferences toward the southern option. Experiment 2 demonstrates that participants produce a southern preference only when instructed to adopt egocentric rather than allocentric perspectives during route planning. In Experiments 3-5, we examined participants' judgments of route characteristics and found that judgments of route length and preferences for upper relative to lower path options do not contribute to the southern route preference. Rather, the southern route preference appears to be a result of misperceptions of increased elevation to the north (i.e., north is up). Experiment 6 further supports this finding by demonstrating that participants provide greater time estimates for north- than for equivalent south-going routes when planning travel between U.S. cities. Results are discussed with regard to predicting wayfinding behavior, the mental simulation of action, and theories of spatial cognition and navigation.

Subject Subsets: Biofuels N2 - We explored repurposing discarded materials to construct simple, field expedient, solar heating devices capable of heating drinking water to water pasteurization temperatures. Results of different test configurations quickly constructed from junk material indicate important design parameters to include maximizing exposed container surface area and using transparent glass and dark absorbent material inside the solar heater box. The optimal configuration heated water to 69°C in a few hours demonstrating that a field expedient, zero cost solar heater capable of pasteurizing water (65°C) can be quickly assembled from discarded material. Translating these key design parameters, rather than the exact design itself, to people in developing countries via relief organizations could help improve drinking water quality, reduce respiratory distress from indoor biomass burning, and potentially reduce the time and household income devoted to acquiring traditional biomass fuels. Organizations that operate in austere or disaster prone regions where safe drinking water may be unavailable may also benefit from knowing these design principles.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases N2 - The prevalence of hearing loss varies with age, affecting at least 25 percent of patients older than 50 years and more than 50 percent of those older than 80 years. Adolescents and young adults represent groups in which the prevalence of hearing loss is increasing and may therefore benefit from screening. If offered, screening can be performed periodically by asking the patient or family if there are perceived hearing problems, or by using clinical office tests such as whispered voice, finger rub, or audiometry. Audiometry in the family medicine clinic setting is a relatively simple procedure that can be interpreted by a trained health care professional. Pure-tone testing presents tones across the speech spectrum (500 to 4,000 Hz) to determine if the patient's hearing levels fall within normal limits. A quiet testing environment, calibrated audiometric equipment, and appropriately trained personnel are required for in-office testing. Pure-tone audiometry may help physicians appropriately refer patients to an audiologist or otolaryngologist. Unilateral or asymmetrical hearing loss can be symptomatic of a central nervous system lesion and requires additional evaluation.

AB - Context: Approximately one quarter of men and half of women in U.S. Army basic combat training experience an injury. Preventing basic combat training–related injuries would reduce associated human and economic costs and discharges from the Army. Identification of risk factors for such injuries is a crucial step toward their prevention. Although some research has begun to address this need, prior studies of risk factors for training-related injury have not been reviewed systematically. This study systematically reviews the literature on risk factors for injury during U.S. Army basic combat training. Evidence acquisition: Original studies of risk factors for injury during U.S. Army basic combat training published since 1990 in peer-reviewed journals were identified using PubMed and manual searches of reference lists. This search was last performed in May 2013. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Evidence synthesis: Methodologic quality and potential for bias were assessed. The findings of 11 studies deemed to be of high or medium quality were synthesized to determine the level of evidence supporting the association between each risk factor studied and risk of injury during basic combat training. Quality assessment and evidence synthesis were performed from June to September 2013. Conclusions: There is strong or moderate evidence supporting association of older age, history of smoking, and self-rated low physical activity level prior to basic combat training with increased risk of training-related injury among male trainees. There is limited, mixed, or insufficient evidence to identify risk factors for injury among female trainees.

Evidence-based approaches to injury prevention could be strengthened by adding person-level characteristics (e.g., demographics) to risk models tested on diverse soldier samples studied over time. Purpose: To identify person-level risk indicators of accident deaths in Regular Army soldiers during a time frame of intense military operations, and to discriminate risk of not-line-of-duty from line-of-duty accident deaths. Methods: Administrative data acquired from multiple Army/Department of Defense sources for active duty Army soldiers during 2004−2009 were analyzed in 2013. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify person-level sociodemographic, service-related, occupational, and mental health predictors of accident deaths. Results: Delayed rank progression or demotion and being male, unmarried, in a combat arms specialty, and of low rank/service length increased odds of accident death for enlisted soldiers. Unique to officers was high risk associated with aviation specialties. Accident death risk decreased over time for currently deployed, enlisted soldiers and increased for those never deployed. Mental health diagnosis was associated with risk only for previous and never-deployed, enlisted soldiers. Models did not discriminate not-line-of-duty from line-of-duty accident deaths. Conclusions: Adding more refined person-level and situational risk indicators to current models could enhance understanding of accident death risk specific to soldier rank and deployment status. Stable predictors could help identify high risk of accident deaths in future cohorts of Regular Army soldiers.

AB - Human observers are often relied upon for monitoring suspicious crowd behavior in both civilian and military contexts. However, little research has examined what individual- and crowd-level variables independently and interactively modulate threat perception among human observers. Five experiments gathered threat estimates while participants viewed static or dynamic crowd simulations. Experiments 1 and 2 used static crowd stimuli and manipulated crowd size (number of entities), crowd density (distance between entities), and historical information about adverse events. Experiments 3–5 used moving crowd stimuli and either fixed (Experiment 3) or dynamic (Experiment 4–5) crowd size and density. Experiments 4 and 5 further examined several individual- and crowd-level parameters subjectively reported by observers as critical to generating risk estimates. Overall, results demonstrated that human observers rely heavily on both crowd size and density cues, but also consider several other cues, such as perceived individual isolation and grouping behavior, when estimating risk levels within a crowd. We also show that reliance on such parameters is highly variable across participants in terms of both directionality and magnitude. Results are discussed within the context of continuing sensor system and modeling efforts, and understanding how threat perception emerges from the observation of intentional agents.

AB - Profile similarity metrics provide an ideal framework to score rating-based judgment tests. These tests are distinct in asking subjects to rate the relative adequacy of multiple responses for each question. Respondent scores should be based on how well an individual’s rating profile matches the answer key. However, respondents whose 'rating-elevation' (tendency to give systematically low or high ratings) or 'rating-scatter' (tendency to use more or less of the available scale) differs from the elevation and scatter of the scoring key can be given inappropriately low scores by distance-based algorithms. This can occur despite very high response accuracy with respect to the goal of correctly rating the relative adequacy of the response options for each question, 'rating shape.' Using this framework, reanalyses of MSCEIT data showed that after correcting scores for elevation and scatter effects, the MSCEIT is best described by a single factor that is highly g-loaded, (r = .79), not multiple factors with low g-loadings as hypothesized by its measurement model. These results demonstrate the importance of using profile similarity metrics (i.e., shape, elevation, and scatter) to evaluate the construct-related validity for rating-based judgment tests.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Background: Between June-October 2012, 61 flight-medic-directed transfusions took place aboard U.S. Army Medical Evacuation (medevac) helicopters in Afghanistan. This represents the initial experience for pre-hospital blood product transfusion by U.S. Army flight medics. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of clinical records, operating guidelines, after-action reviews, decision and information briefs, bimonthly medical conferences, and medevac-related medical records. Results: A successful program was administered at 10 locations across Afghanistan. Adherence to protocol transfusion indications was 97%. There were 61 casualties who were transfused without any known instance of adverse reaction or local blood product wastage. Shock index (heart rate/systolic blood pressure) improved significantly en route, with a median shock index of 1.6 (IQR 1.2-2.0) pre-transfusion and 1.1 (IQR 1.0-1.5) post-transfusion (P < 0.0001). Blood resupply, training, and clinical procedures were standardized across each of the 10 areas of medevac operations. Discussion: Potential risks of medical complications, reverse propaganda, adherence to protocol, and diversion and/or wastage of limited resources were important considerations in the development of the pilot program. Aviation-specific risk mitigation strategies were important to ensure mission success in terms of wastage prevention, standardized operations at multiple locations, and prevention of adverse clinical outcomes. Consideration of aviation risk mitigation strategies may help enable other helicopter emergency medical systems to develop remote pre-hospital transfusion capability. This pilot program provides preliminary evidence that blood product administration by medevac is safe.

AB - An approach for monitoring eccrine sweat gland activity using high resolution Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) imaging (3–5 μm wave band) is described. This technique is non-contact, passive, and provides high temporal and spatial resolution. Pore activity was monitored on the face and on the volar surfaces of the distal and medial phalanges of the index and middle fingers while participants performed a series of six deep inhalation and exhalation exercises. Two metrics called the Pore Activation Index (PAI) and Pore Count (PC) were defined as size-weighted and unweighted measures of active sweat gland counts respectively. PAI transient responses on the finger tips were found to be positively correlated to Skin Conductance Responses (SCRs). PAI responses were also observed on the face, although the finger sites appeared to be more responsive. Results indicate that thermal imaging of the pore response may provide a useful, non-contact, correlate measure for electrodermal responses recorded from related sites.

AB - Previous research has shown that people form impressions of potential leaders from their faces and that certain facial features predict success in reaching prestigious leadership positions. However, much less is known about the accuracy or meta-accuracy of face-based leadership inferences. Here we examine a simple, but important, question: Can leadership domain be inferred from faces? We find that human judges can identify business, military, and sports leaders (but not political leaders) from their faces with above-chance accuracy. However, people are surprisingly bad at evaluating their own performance on this judgment task: We find no relationship between how well judges think they performed and their actual accuracy levels. In a follow-up study, we identify several basic dimensions of evaluation that correlate with face-based judgments of leadership domain, as well as those that predict actual leadership domain. We discuss the implications of our results for leadership perception and selection.

AB - This study examined alterations in skeletal-muscle growth and atrophy-related molecular events after a single bout of moderate-intensity endurance exercise. Muscle biopsies were obtained from 10 men (23 ± 1 yr, body mass 80 ± 2 kg, and VO2peak 45 ± 1 ml · kg-1 · min-1) immediately (0 hr) and 3 hr after a 60-min bout of cycle exercise (60% ± 5% VO2peak). Corresponding muscle biopsies were also obtained under resting conditions. The phosphorylation status of insulin/IGF-PI3K molecular-signaling proteins, ubiquitin-proteasome-related gene expression, FOXO transcription factors, and myogenic regulatory factors in muscle samples was analyzed using multiplex analysis, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A condition-time interaction was observed for Akt phosphorylation (p < .05) with multiplexing. Regardless of endurance exercise, Akt phosphorylation decreased and ERK phosphorylation increased at 3 hr compared with 0 hr (p < .05). Levels of p70S6K phosphorylation were 110% greater (p < .05) at 3 hr than at 0 hr using Western blots. MuRF mRNA expression postexercise increased; levels were 4.7- and 5.7-fold greater (p < .05) at 0 hr and 3 hr, respectively, than at rest with qRT-PCR. Atrogin mRNA expression was up-regulated 3.2-fold 3 hr postexercise compared with rest. These findings demonstrate modest changes in the molecular responses to moderate endurance exercise in the absence of nutrition. This study provides the groundwork for future investigations designed to optimize the metabolic conditions necessary to positively influence the cellular mechanisms specific to skeletal-muscle protein turnover during recovery from endurance exercise.

DESIGN:: Retrospective database review. SETTING:: Helicopter transport to Level 1 trauma center and first 24 hrs of in-hospital care. PATIENTS:: Prehospital trauma patients requiring helicopter transport to Level 1 trauma center. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:: Heart period variability was analyzed from electrocardiographic recordings collected from 159 prehospital trauma patients with normal standard vital signs (32 LSI patients, 127 No-LSI patients). Although 13 of the electrocardiogram derived metrics demonstrated simple (i.e., univariate) discrimination between groups, at the multivariate level, only fractal dimension by curve length (FD-L) was uniquely associated with group membership (LSI vs. No-LSI, p = .0004). Whereas the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve for FD-L was 0.70, the overall correct classification rate (true positives and true negatives) of 82% was only 2% higher than the baseline prediction rate of 80% (i.e., no information except for the known proportion of overall No-LSI cases, 127 of 159 patients). Furthermore, 84% of the individual FD-L values for the LSI group were within the range of the No-LSI group. CONCLUSIONS:: Only FD-L was uniquely able to distinguish patient groups based on mean values when standard vital signs were normal. However, the accuracy of FD-L in distinguishing between patients was only slightly better than the baseline prediction rate. There was also very high overlap of individual heart period variability values between groups, so many LSI patients could be incorrectly classified as not requiring an LSI if a single heart period variability value was used as a triage tool. Based on this analysis, heart period variability seems to have limited value for prediction of LSIs in prehospital trauma patients with normal standard vital signs.

Thirst perception involves neurochemical signals attributed to acute elevation of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and angiotensin II (AT2) levels, and may accompany acute hemorrhage. Objective. To determinewhether thirst or plasma AVP or AT2 levels predict hemorrhagic shock, injury severity, or outcome in trauma patients at initial presentation. Methods. This was a prospective case series of adult subjects presenting as trauma activations to an urban level I trauma center. Subjects were included if they were alert and nonintoxicated. During resuscitation, subjects were queried for thirst perception using binary and continuous data formats employing a 100-mm nonhatched visual analog scale. Blood for AT2 and AVP assessment was obtained during initial laboratory collection. Other data were abstracted retrospectively from our trauma registry. Crude and stratified analyses (blunt and penetrating trauma) assessed the correlation of thirst, AVP, and AT2 to the initial shock index, base deficit, blood transfusion requirement, admission, and Injury Severity Score (ISS). Our institutional review board (IRB) granted a waiver of informed consent. Results. Of 105 subjects, the average age was 35 years (95% confidence interval [CI] 32 to 38), with 31% penetrating trauma. For AVP, there was no difference in thirst perception between subjects with normal (59 mm, 95% CI 47 to 71) versus elevated (63 mm, 95% CI 56 to 70) plasma levels. For AT2, results were likewise insignificant for normal (63 mm, 95% CI 56 to 70) versus elevated (58 mm, 95% CI 46 to 70) plasma levels. Thirst, AT2 level, and AVP level demonstrated no correlation to shock index, base deficit, transfusion requirement, hospital admission, or ISS. Conclusion. The results of this study imply that thirst severity and AVP and AT2 plasma levels are not reliable predictors of impending hemorrhagic shock, injury severity, or outcome. The presence or absence of severe thirst should not be employed as a primary marker for dismissing or suspecting incipient shock.

Methods: Contralateral, surgically created, critical-size, 6-mm, supra-alveolar periodontal defects in five adult Hound Labrador mongrel dogs received rhGDF-5 coated onto [beta]-tricalcium phosphate ( [beta]-TCP) particles and immersed in a bioresorbable poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) composite or the [beta]-TCP/PLGA carrier alone (control). The rhGDF-5 and control constructs were moulded around the teeth and allowed to set. The gingival flaps were then advanced; flap margins were adapted 3-4 mm coronal to the teeth and sutured. The animals were euthanized at 8 weeks post-surgery when block biopsies were collected for histometric analysis. Results: Healing was generally uneventful. A few sites exhibited minor exposures. Three control sites and one rhGDF-5 site (in separate animals) experienced more extensive wound dehiscencies. The rhGDF-5 and control constructs were easy to apply and exhibited adequate structural integrity to support the mucoperiosteal flaps in this challenging onlay model. Limited residual [beta]-TCP particles were observed at 8 weeks for both rhGDF-5/ [beta]-TCP/PLGA and [beta]-TCP/PLGA control sites. The rhGDF-5/ [beta]-TCP/PLGA sites showed significantly greater cementum (2.34 ± 0.44 versus 1.13 ± 0.25 mm, p=0.02) and bone (2.92 ± 0.66 versus 1.21 ± 0.30 mm, p=0.02) formation compared with the carrier control. Limited ankylosis was observed in four of five rhGDF-5/ [beta]-TCP/PLGA sites but not in control sites. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that rhGDF-5 is a promising candidate technology in support of periodontal wound healing/regeneration. Carrier and rhGDF-5 dose optimization are necessary before further advancement of the technology towards clinical evaluation.

AB - Objective: This study examined whether benefits of conflict probe automation would occur in a future air traffic scenario in which air traffic service providers (ATSPs) are not directly responsible for freely maneuvering aircraft but are controlling other nonequipped aircraft (mixed-equipage environment). The objective was to examine how the type of automation imperfection (miss vs. false alarm) affects ATSP performance and attention allocation.Background: Research has shown that the type of automation imperfection leads to differential human performance costs.Method: Participating in four 30-min scenarios were 12 full-performance-level ATSPs. Dependent variables included conflict detection and resolution performance, eye movements, and subjective ratings of trust and self confidence.Results: ATSPs detected conflicts faster and more accurately with reliable automation, as compared with manual performance. When the conflict probe automation was unreliable, conflict detection performance declined with both miss (25% conflicts detected) and false alarm automation (50% conflicts detected).Conclusion: When the primary task of conflict detection was automated, even highly reliable yet imperfect automation (miss or false alarm) resulted in serious negative effects on operator performance.Application: The further in advance that conflict probe automation predicts a conflict, the greater the uncertainty of prediction; thus, designers should provide users with feedback on the state of the automation or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of the data underlying the conflict probe algorithm.

Seventy-three combat arms soldiers were measured pre- and postdeployment. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Strength was measured by single repetition maximum (1-RM) lifts on bench press and squat. Power was assessed by a bench throw and squat jump. Aerobic endurance was evaluated with a timed 2-mile run. Exercise and injury history were assessed by questionnaire. Upper and lower body strength improved by 7% and 8%, respectively (p < 0.001). Upper body power increased 9% (p < 0.001) and lean mass increased 3% (p < 0.05). In contrast, aerobic performance declined 13% (p < 0.001) and fat mass increased 9% (p < 0.05). Fewer soldiers participated in aerobic exercise or sports during deployment (p < 0.001). Unit commanders should be aware of potential fitness and body composition changes during deployment and develop physical training programs to enhance fitness following deployment.

METHODS:: Respiratory waveforms from SBT of patients in surgical or burn intensive care units were recorded for later analysis. The decision to extubate was made by attending physician. Extubated patients were observed for 48 hours; during this time, reintubation or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation was considered as a failure. Analysis of waveform data by software was performed post hoc. Sample entropy (SampEn) and other nonlinear measures were 48 hours of extubation. RESULTS:: Thirty-two patients (24 burn, 8 trauma/surgical admissions; mean age, 40.2 +/- 16.9 years; 26 men and 6 women) who were intubated >24 hours were extubated after SBT. Twenty-four patients were successfully separated from mechanical ventilation and eight failed. Age, gender, and mechanism of injury did not influence outcome. SampEn calculated for the two groups presented in this study was different with the cohort that failed extubation having a lower mean value (1.35 +/- 0.39 vs. 1.87 +/- 0.27; p < 0.001). Other nonlinear metrics were moved in concert with SampEn. The stationarity in the respiratory signal was not different between groups. CONCLUSION:: In intubated patients, the interbreath interval in those who were successfully separated from mechanical ventilation was more irregular than those who failed, as measured by nonlinear techniques. When available at bedside, these metrics may be useful markers of pulmonary health and assist in clinical decision making.

The current study examined the association of specific types of combat experiences with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. METHODS: 1120 U.S. soldiers who were members of brigade combat infantry teams were surveyed anonymously 3-4 months after returning from deployment to Iraq regarding their experiences in combat and their physical and mental health. Combat items were independently rated and placed into the following categories: (1) Fighting; (2) Killing; (3) Threat to oneself; (4) Death/injury of others; (5) Atrocities; and, (6) Positive experiences. Alcohol misuse was measured using a 2-item alcohol screen combined with alcohol-related behavioral items. RESULTS: Of the soldiers sampled, 25% (N=275) screened positive for alcohol misuse 3-4 months post-deployment; 12% (N=125) screened positive and exhibited alcohol-related behavioral problems. Most combat exposure factors were significantly related to alcohol misuse individually. When factors were analyzed simultaneously, soldiers who had higher rates of exposure to the threat of death/injury were significantly more likely to screen positive for alcohol misuse; exposure to atrocities predicted misuse of alcohol with alcohol-related behavioral problems. CONCLUSIONS: High exposure to threatening situations and atrocities was associated with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Clinicians treating combat veterans should be aware of the potential association of alcohol misuse with specific types of experiences and closely follow those soldiers upon their return home.

Typically, engineers evaluate the risk of failure of infrastructure for a single probabilistic combination of events. This paper focuses on a visual multihazard evaluation method to evaluate infrastructure stability and critical hazard combinations. To present this method, the authors considered the multihazard stability of a flood control earth embankment, evaluated by calculating a factor of safety (FS). Multihazard topography promotes the comparison of design/repair options with stability and two other variables that affect stability. This evaluation tool will assist engineers, owners, and regulatory agencies in the best design or best mitigation evaluation process (for both cost and hazard reduction).

An informal survey of 50 high-circulation newspaper sports departments in 2001 found that women constituted only 13% of employment. The Association for Women in Sports Media (AWSM) several years ago estimated that there are about 500 women who work in sports media. As compared to women in sports media, employment of women in other parts of the newsroom is much higher. A 1995 survey of about 200 AWSM members found that although respondents reported job satisfaction, they also reported discrimination and an "invisible" status in their sports departments. Women not only face sexual harassment in the locker room but also in the workplace. As men hold the majority of jobs and authority, the entire newsroom may be considered a male-dominated workplace. Besides discrimination in the workplace women also faces problems with balancing work and family because of the gender-defined dividing line.

A series of unilateral elbow flexion muscle contractions (30 repetitive contractions followed by 3 sets x 15 contractions) was performed at 20% of 1RM with varying levels of external compression (0 (without compression), 98, 121, and 147 mmHg external compression) around the upper arm. Electromyography (EMG) signals were recorded from surface electrodes placed on the biceps brachii muscle and analyzed for integrated EMG (iEMG). Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) decreased similarly during the control (0 mmHg) and 98 mmHg external compression bout (~18%); the decline in MVC with 121 and 147 mmHg external compression was significantly greater (~37%). Muscle activation increased progressively throughout the contraction bout with each level of external compression, but iEMG was significantly greater during 147 mmHg external compression. In conclusion, low-intensity muscle contractions performed with external compression of 147 mmHg appears to alter muscle perfusion/outflow leading to increased muscle activation without decrements in work performed during the contraction bout.

The existing data support the hypothesis that the pathogenesis is predictable based upon water, sodium, and potassium balance. Preventive strategies are to avoid overdrinking relative to sweating rate and to consider electrolyte replacement when sustained sweating is expected to produce large deficits.

Too much of a good thing, however, can have negative health consequences as persistent drinking in excess of sweating rate can induce symptomatic exercise associated hypontremia. This short review highlights new position stands and/or policy statements regarding fluid replacement for sport, evidence that laboratory findings translate to team sport performance, and current hydration practices of athletes. It is culminated with practical strategies for drinking appropriately during physical activity.

Nine male track-and-field athletes (21.1 ± 1.4 yr, 177.2 ± 5.5 cm, 80.9 ± 9.7 kg, 8.7% ± 3.8% fat) and 10 male ice hockey athletes (21.0 ± 2.2 yr, 174.3 ± 6.2 cm, 79.6 ± 11.1 kg, 13.9% ± 3.73% fat) participated in 2 different ARE protocols. Both experiments employed a counterbalanced double-blind research design, wherein participants consumed either a CHO (1 g/kg body weight) or placebo beverage before, during, and after a weight-lifting session. Serum cortisol decreased (p < .05) at 90 min into recovery compared with immediately postexercise. Plasma lactate, total leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte concentrations increased (p < .05) from baseline to immediately postexercise. Lymphocytes decreased significantly (p < .05) from baseline to 90 min postexercise. Lymphocytes were lower (p < .05) for the CHO condition than for placebo. The findings of this study indicate the following: ARE appears to evoke changes in immune cells similar to those previously reported during endurance exercise, and CHO ingestion attenuates lymphocytosis after ARE.

As part of the Neurocognition Deployment Health Study procedures, each soldier completed at both time points self-report indexes of PTSD symptom severity, health behaviors (smoking, alcohol use), and somatic health-related functioning. Participants also completed a health-symptom checklist at the postdeployment assessment. Structural equation modeling revealed that postdeployment PTSD severity was associated with change in somatic health-related functioning, with postdeployment health symptoms as an intermediary variable. These relationships were independent of health risk behaviors, which had little association with somatic symptoms or PTSD. Our findings highlight the functional impact of PTSD, which extends beyond psychological symptoms to health-related daily functioning.

Additionally, a number of concerns have arisen about mental training effectiveness, and its ability to maximize athlete development, performance, and peaking. Periodization is a systematic program development and implementation strategy that holds promise for enhancing mental training effectiveness and combating some of the problems currently limiting MST interventions. Thus, the purpose of this conceptual paper was threefold. First, periodization concepts are introduced by demonstrating how they are utilized to systematically guide physical training. Second, strategies to adapt periodization concepts to enhance mental training programs are examined, along with techniques to integrate physical and mental training, including: mental training tool and skill periodization plans and mental training drill menus. Finally, a case study is presented to illustrate how an integrated approach to periodized training that targets both physical and mental skill development can enhance the effectiveness of MST while minimizing implementation problems.

Clinicians prescribe non-weight bearing exercise initially and progress patients to weight bearing exercise once they can perform a straight leg raise (SLR). Objective: Compare VM activation during a SLR and weight bearing exercises. Design: One-way repeated measures design. Setting: University Laboratory. Subjects: Fifteen healthy subjects. Intervention: One SLR exercise and 6 weight-bearing knee extension exercises. Main Outcome Measures: Electromyographic amplitudes for the VM expressed as a percent maximum voluntary isometric contraction. Results: The SLR had greater activation than the single leg stance and bilateral squat exercises. The step-up and unilateral leg press exercises had the greatest activation. Conclusions: SLR performance can be an important indicator for exercise progression. These results provide foundational knowledge to assist clinicians with exercise prescription.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the baseline historical and physical examination factors associated with increased contracted LM muscle thickness one week after SMT. Eighty-one participants with LBP underwent a baseline physical examination and ultrasound imaging assessment of the LM muscle during submaximal contraction before and one week after SMT. The relationship between baseline examination variables and 1-week change in contracted LM thickness was assessed using correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple linear regression. Four variables best predicted the magnitude of increases in contracted LM muscle thickness after SMT. When combined, these variables suggest that patients with LBP, (1) that are fairly acute, (2) have at least a moderately good prognosis without focal and irritable symptoms, and (3) exhibit signs of spinal instability, may be the best candidates for a combined SMT and lumbar stabilization exercise (LSE) treatment approach.

Sam Houston, Texas; No. of Pages: 9; Language: English; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20120704 N2 - We tested the hypothesis that dehydration exacerbates reductions of middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) and alters cerebrovascular control during standing after heavy resistance exercise. Ten males participated in two trials under 1) euhydration (EUH) and 2) dehydration (DEH; fluid restriction + 40 mg furosemide). We recorded finger photoplethysmographic arterial pressure and MCAv (transcranial Doppler) during 10 rain of standing immediately after high-intensity leg press exercise. Symptoms (e.g., lightheadedness) were ranked by subjects during standing (1-5 scale). Low-frequency (LF) oscillations of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mean MCAv were calculated as indicators of cerebrovascular control. DEH reduced plasma volume by 11% (P = 0.002; calculated from hemoglobin and hematocrit). During the first 30 s of standing after exercise, subjects reported greater symptoms during DEH vs. EUH (P = 0.05), but these were mild and resolved at 60 s. While MAP decreased similarly between conditions immediately after standing, MCAv decreased more with DEH than EUH (P = 0.02). With prolonged standing under DEH, mean MCAv remained below baseline (P ≤ 0.01), and below EUH values (P ≤ 0.05). LF oscillations of MAP were higher for DEH at baseline and during the entire 10 rain of stand after exercise (P ≤ 0.057), while LF oscillations in mean MCAv were distinguishable only at baseline and 5 rain following stand (P = 0.05). Our results suggest that mean MCAv falls below a "symptomatic threshold" in the acute phase of standing after exercise during DEH, although symptoms were mild and transient. During the prolonged phase of standing, increases in LF MAP and mean MCAv oscillations with DEH may help to maintain cerebral perfusion despite absolute MCAv remaining below the symptomatic threshold.

It is unknown whether adopting a forefoot strike technique will decrease the pain and disability associated with chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) in hindfoot strike runners.Hypothesis: For people who have CECS, adopting a forefoot strike running technique will lead to decreased pain and disability associated with this condition.Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.Methods: Ten patients with CECS indicated for surgical release were prospectively enrolled. Resting and postrunning compartment pressures, kinematic and kinetic measurements, and self-report questionnaires were taken for all patients at baseline and after 6 weeks of a forefoot strike running intervention. Run distance and reported pain levels were recorded. A 15-point global rating of change (GROC) scale was used to measure perceived change after the intervention.Results: After 6 weeks of forefoot run training, mean postrun anterior compartment pressures significantly decreased from 78.4 ± 32.0 mm Hg to 38.4 ± 11.5 mm Hg. Vertical ground-reaction force and impulse values were significantly reduced. Running distance significantly increased from 1.4 ± 0.6 km before intervention to 4.8 ± 0.5 km 6 weeks after intervention, while reported pain while running significantly decreased. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) significantly increased from 49.9 ± 21.4 to 90.4 ± 10.3, and the Lower Leg Outcome Survey (LLOS) significantly increased from 67.3 ± 13.7 to 91.5 ± 8.5. The GROC scores at 6 weeks after intervention were between 5 and 7 for all patients. One year after the intervention, the SANE and LLOS scores were greater than reported during the 6-week follow-up. Two-mile run times were also significantly faster than preintervention values. No patient required surgery.Conclusion: In 10 consecutive patients with CECS, a 6-week forefoot strike running intervention led to decreased postrunning lower leg intracompartmental pressures. Pain and disability typically associated with CECS were greatly reduced for up to 1 year after intervention. Surgical intervention was avoided for all patients.

Many of these soldiers sustain non-emergent musculoskeletal injuries that initially are treated nonoperatively and ultimately require surgery following their combat tour. Methods: A prospective evaluation of the orthopaedic surgery consultations and surgical procedures required by soldiers returning from a full combat deployment was performed. Demographic information (including age and sex) as well as information on the mechanism of injury, the reason for orthopaedic consultation, and the procedures performed was collected for each soldier. The overall incidence of non-emergent orthopaedic injuries was calculated, and multivariate Poisson regression analysis was utilized to determine the effect of age and sex on the type of orthopaedic injury sustained. Results: There were 3787 soldiers who returned from combat operations at the end of a fifteen-month deployment without having been medically evacuated. There were 731 orthopaedic surgical consultations for the evaluation of a nonemergent musculoskeletal complaint, and 140 orthopaedic operations were performed as a result. An age of thirty years or more was an important risk factor for requiring an orthopaedic consultation (p < 0.0001). The most common surgical procedures were performed for shoulder stabilization, for superior labrum anterior to posterior lesion repair, for the treatment of internal derangement of the knee, and for the treatment of foot deformity. Conclusions: Nineteen percent of all soldiers who completed a combat deployment required an orthopaedic surgical consultation on return, and 4% of soldiers required orthopaedic surgery. More than half of the surgical procedures involved the knee or shoulder. This represents a large burden of care for returning soldiers on orthopaedic surgical services and has important implications for future resource utilization. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level I.

The association between previous meniscal surgery and the incidence of chondral lesions was examined. Patient age was included as a covariate to determine if surgery type contributes predictive information independent of patient age.Results: The cohort included 725 ACL revision surgeries. Chondrosis was associated with patient age (P < .0001) and previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001). After adjusting for patient age, knees with previous PM were more likely to have chondrosis than knees with previous MR (P = .003) or no previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001). There was no difference between knees without previous meniscal surgery and knees with previous MR (P = .7). Previous partial meniscectomy was associated with a higher rate of chondrosis in the same compartment compared with knees without previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001) and knees with previous MR (P ≤ .03).Conclusion: The status of articular cartilage at the time of revision ACL reconstruction relates to previous meniscal surgery independent of the effect of patient age. Previous partial meniscectomy is associated with a higher incidence of articular cartilage lesions, whereas previous meniscal repair is not. Although this association may reflect underlying differences in the knee at the time of prior surgery, it does suggest that meniscal repair is preferable when possible at the time of ACL reconstruction.

J Appl Physiol 112: 658-670, 2012. First published November 23, 2011; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00809.2011.--We have previously demonstrated that in response to traumatic injury in skeletal muscle, there is a dysregulation of the matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), a response hypothesized to interfere with proper skeletal muscle regeneration. Moreover, we have shown that pharmacological activation of the adenosine A3 receptor by Cl-IBMECA in skeletal muscle can protect against ischemia-reperfusion and eccentric exercise injury. However, the mechanism by which Cl-IBMECA protects muscle tissue is poorly defined. This study evaluated the effects of Cl-IBMECA on MMP/TIMP expression in skeletal muscle and tested the hypothesis that adenosine A3 receptor-stimulated protection of skeletal muscle following traumatic injury is associated with a blunting of MMPs involved in inflammatory processes and collagen degradation, and an increase in MMPs associated with extracellular matrix remodeling. Sixty C57BL/6J male mice wer injected with Cl-IBMECA (n = 30) or a vehicle (n = 30), and Evans blue dye. Injury was induced by applying a cold steel probe (-79°) to the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle for 10 s. TA muscles from uninjured and injured legs were collected 3, 10, and 24 h postinjury for analysis of muscle injury and MMP/TIMP mRNA and protein levels. Twenty-four hours postinjury, 56.8% of the fibers were damaged in vehicle-treated mice vs. 35.4% in CMBMECA-treated mice (P = 0.02). Cl-IBMECA treatment reduced membrane type 1 (MT1)MMP, MMP-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 mRNA expression 2- to 20-fold compared with vehicle-treated mice (P < 0.05). Cl-IBMECA decreased protein levels of latent/shed MT1-MMP 23-2,000%, respectively, 3-10 h postinjury. In Cl-IBMECA-treated mice, latent MMP-2 was decreased 20% 3 h postinjury, active MMP-3 was decreased 64% 3 h postinjury, and latent/active MMP-9 was decreased 417,631% 3 h postinjury and 20% 10 h postinjury. Protein levels of active MMP-2 and latent MMP-3 were increased 25% and 74% 3 h postinjury, respectively. The present study elucidates a new protective role of adenosine A3 receptor stimulation in posttraumatic skeletal muscle injury.

JO - Speech Communication JF - Speech Communication Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 45 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 187 EP - 202 SN - 01676393 AB - Displayless interface technology provides speech-based access to computer applications for which visual access is not possible. These applications are increasingly prevalent, especially in situations requiring mobility, such as navigational applications. To ensure the successful deployment of this technology however, many human factors issues must be addressed. In particular, its nonvisual nature requires verbal presentation of spatial data. Prosodics, or nonverbal aspects, of human speech have been established as an indicator of cognitive stress. In this paper, we examine the assumption that the cognitive burden placed on the user by displayless access to spatial data would significantly alter the prosodics of the user's speech. Results were gathered through experiments in which user interactions with a prototype speech-based navigational system were recorded, post-processed, and analyzed for prosodic content. Subjects participated in two sessions, one using a speech-based, displayless interface, and a second using a multimodal interface that included a visual-tactile map display. Results showed strong evidence of significant changes in subjects' prosodic features when using a displayless versus a multimodal navigational interface for all categories of subjects. Insights gained from this work can be used to improve the design of the user interface for such applications. Also, results of this work can be used to refine the selection of acoustic cues used as predictors in prosodic pattern detection algorithms for these types of applications.

JO - Estuaries & Coasts JF - Estuaries & Coasts Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 115 EP - 133 SN - 15592723 AB - A three-dimensional, intratidal sediment transport model is developed for the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in the upper Chesapeake Bay. The model considers three particle size classes, including the fine class mostly in suspension in the water column, the medium class alternately suspended and deposited by tidal currents, and the coarse size suspended only during the times of relatively high energy events. Based on the results of a box model, depth-limited erosion with continuous deposition is employed for the medium and coarse classes by varying the critical shear stress for erosion as a function of eroded mass. For the fine class, mutually exclusive erosion and deposition is employed with a small constant value for the critical shear stresses for erosion and deposition to assure quick erosion of recently deposited fine particles but without allowing further erosion of consolidated bed sediments. The model is run to simulate the annual condition in 1996, and the model generally gives a reasonable reproduction of the observed characteristics of the ETM relative to the salt limit and tidal phase. The model results for 1996 are analyzed to study the characteristics of the ETM along the main channel of the upper bay in intertidal and intratidal time scales. Under a low flow condition, local erosion! deposition and bottom horizontal flux convergence are the main processes responsible for the formation of the ETM, with the settling flux confining the ETM to the bottom water. Under a high flow condition, a distinctive ETM is formed by strong convergence of the downstream flux of sediments eroded from the upstream of the null zone and the upstream flux of sediments settled at the downstream of the null zone. Intratidal variation of the ETM is mainly controlled by erosion and the tidal transport of eroded sediments for a low flow condition. Under the direct influence of a high flow event, the ETM is mainly formed by erosion during ebbing tidal current strengthened by large freshwater discharge and by convergence of ebbing freshwater discharge and flooding tidal current. During the rebounding stage of a high flow event, intratidal variations are mainly controlled by tidal asymmetry caused by the interaction between tidal currents, gravitational circulation, and stratification.

On one hand, the spatial and temporal variability in catchment features should be adequately represented in the model parameterization, while maintaining the model complexity in an acceptable level to take advantage of state-of-the-art calibration techniques. On the other hand, model complexity enhances uncertainty in adjusted model parameter values, therefore increasing uncertainty in the water routing across the watershed. This is critical for water quality applications, where not only streamflow, but also a reliable estimation of the surface versus subsurface contributions to the runoff is needed. In this study, we show how a regularized inversion procedure combined with a multiobjective function calibration strategy successfully solves the parameterization of a complex application of a water quality-oriented hydrological model. The final value of several optimized parameters showed significant and consistent differences across geological and landscape features. Although the number of optimized parameters was significantly increased by the spatial and temporal discretization of adjustable parameters, the uncertainty in water routing results remained at reasonable values. In addition, a stepwise numerical analysis showed that the effects on calibration performance due to inclusion of different data types in the objective function could be inextricably linked. Thus caution should be taken when adding or removing data from an aggregated objective function.

Low order detonations of high explosive payloads result in the patchy dispersal of particles of high explosive formulations over large areas of firing range soils. Dissolution of explosives from explosive formulation particles into soil pore water is a controlling factor for transport, fate, and effects of explosive compounds. We developed an empirical method to evaluate soils based on functionally defined effective dissolution rates. An automated Accelerated Solvent Extractor was used to determine the effective elution rates under controlled conditions of RDX and TNT from soil columns containing particles of Comp B. Contrived soils containing selected soil geosorbants and reactive surfaces were used to quantitatively determine the importance of these materials. Natural soils from training ranges of various soil types were also evaluated. The effects of geosorbants on effective elution rates were compound- and sorbent-specific. TNT elution was less than that of RDX and was greatly slowed by humic acid. Iron and iron-bearing clays reduced the effective elution rates of both RDX and TNT. This empirical method is a useful tool for directly generating data on the potential for explosives to leach from firing range soils, to identify general bulk soil characteristics that can be used to predict the potential, and to identify means to engineer soil treatments to mitigate potential transport.

According to the authors, tungsten is linked to childhood leukemia cancer clusters such as in Fallon, Nevada with suspected cases in Elk Grove, California and Sierra Vista, Arizona. They determined partition coefficients for various tungstate and polytungstate compounds. They found that geochemical behavior changes occur over time as speciation changes. Some tungstates increased significantly indicating that soil aging decreases mobility.

JO - Journal of Polymers & the Environment JF - Journal of Polymers & the Environment Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 16 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 15662543 AB - A series of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), all containing 1% nucleating agent but varying in structure, were melt-processed into films through single screw extrusion techniques. This series consisted of three polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and three polyhydroxybutyrate-valerate (PHBV) resins with varying valerate content. Processing parameters of temperature in the barrel (165–173 °C) and chill rolls (60 °C) were optimized to obtain cast films. The gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) results showed a loss of 8–19% of the polymer’s initial molecular weight due to extrusion processing. Modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) displayed glass transition temperatures of the films ranging from −4.6 to 6.7 °C depending on the amount of crystallinity in the film. DSC data were also used to calculate the percent crystallinity of each sample and slightly higher crystallinity was observed in the PHBV series of samples. X-ray diffraction patterns did not vary significantly for any of the samples and crystallinity was confirmed with X-ray data. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) verified the glass transition trends for the films from DSC while loss modulus ( E′) reported at 20 °C showed that the PHBV (3,950–3,600 MPa) had the higher E′ values than the PHB (3,500–2,698 MPa) samples. The Young’s modulus values of the PHB and PHBV samples ranged from 700 to 900 MPa and 900 to 1,500 MPa, respectively. Polarized light microscopy images revealed gel particles in the films processed through single-screw extrusion, which may have caused diminished Young’s modulus and tensile strength of these films. The PHBV film samples exhibited the greatest barrier properties to oxygen and water vapor when compared to the PHB film samples. The average oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) for the PHBV samples was 247 (cc-mil/m2-day) and 118 (g-mil/m2-day), respectively; while the average OTR and WVTR for the PHB samples was 350 (cc-mil/m2-day) and 178 (g-mil/m2-day), respectively. Biodegradation data of the films in the marine environment demonstrated that all PHA film samples achieved a minimum of 70% mineralization in 40 days when run in accordance with ASTM 6691. For static and dynamic incubation experiments in seawater, microbial action resulting in weight loss as a function of time showed all samples to be highly biodegradable and correlated with the ASTM 6691 biodegradation data.

Requests were made for pest inspection and control to remedy the situation. Greater scrutiny of the situation led to a hypothesis that instead of spiders, an infectious outbreak of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) should be investigated as the etiology. Subsequent culturing of the lesions on personnel at one facility confirmed this bacterial etiology. Barracks, as well as other close quarter military living conditions, are ripe environments for the establishment, persistence, and spread of CA-MRSA. Military medical personnel should consider CA-MRSA as a more likely etiologic agent than spider bites for cutaneous eruptions in which there are multiple lesions on one person or multiple patients with similar lesions.

The study used data from 4,464 respondents of the 2001 Survey of Army Families IV (SAF IV). SAF IV, fielded April through July 2001, was used to reduce the confounding associated with the Iraq War. The results of five-stepwise regressions indicated that there were four common predictors and four ethnically specific predictors of how spouses cope. It was also found that the major sample (Caucasian) was most reflective of the analysis of the total sample of 4,464. Two of the primary predictors of spouse coping were the Problems Experienced Scale and the spouses' ability to keep themselves well-informed about the army. Study findings suggest that while similarities in coping exist between ethnic groups, there are also important ethnic differences in coping relevant to family policy and practice. These differences warrant further study based on a larger sample of spouses.

Among male high school seniors, 70% of those who express high desire or likelihood of service actually enter the military within six years of high school graduation. Propensity to serve has been declining among American youth, and there are not sufficient high-propensity youth to meet manpower needs, so low-propensity youth must be recruited as well. In this article, the authors explore the relationship between propensity and motivation to enlist in a 2002 sample of enlisted combat soldiers in the US Army. The authors provide an analysis of motivational data that tests Charles C. Moskos's institutional and occupational models of service and find the organization of motivations to be more complex than Moskos's dichotomous conceptualization. Those soldiers who reported high enlistment propensity before beginning service reported significant institutional motivations to join and plans for a military career. Enlistment propensity was not significantly related to occupational or pecuniary motivations.

The survey area (280 m long by 20 to 60 m wide) crossed Ridges I through 5 in the southwest portion of the site. The ridges were revealed as variegated bands of positive and negative magnetic anomalies whereas the swales appeared to be relatively homogeneous. Ridge I, nearest the plaza, is wider and higher but has less of a flank midden than the other ridges. Two roughly circular arrangements of anomalies on Ridge I are potentially important but cannot be reliably interpreted without ground truthing excavations.

We explored the roles of nanotube length and structure, fiber density, and nanotube orientation in achieving optimum mechanical properties. We found that carbon nanotube fiber, spun directly and continuously from gas phase as an aeroget, combines high strength and high stiffness (axial elastic modulus), with an energy to breakage (toughness) considerably greater than that of any commercial high-strength fiber. Different levels of carbon nanotube orientation, fiber density, and mechanical properties can be achieved by drawing the aerogel at various winding rates. The mechanical data obtained demonstrate the considerable potential of carbon nanotube assemblies in the quest for maximal mechanical performance. The statistical aspects of the mechanical data reveal the deleterious effect of defects and indicate strategies for future work.

We identified personnel receiving the smallpox vaccination and compared them to a historical referent population. The rate of cardiac ischemia diagnoses in the 30 days following smallpox vaccination was 140.1 per 100,000 person-years, compared to 143.5 per 100,000 person-years in referent group (RR 1.0 [95% CI: 0.7–1.4]). The rate of cardiac ischemic events in vaccinees was 121.4 per 100,000 person-years before and 175.7 after adopting pre-vaccination cardiac screening (RR 1.4 [95% CI: 0.8–2.7]). Implementation of pre-vaccination cardiac risk factor screening was not associated with a reduction in cardiac events.

High performance liquid chromatography with UV absorption interfaced to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry sequential detection was used to detect organouranium complexes in a variety of soils and plant materials, indicating that nearly 100% of the uranium extracted from certain plant tissues was bound to organic ligands. In addition, soil sorption experiments indicated that humic acid generally decreased uranium sorption to soils and promoted subsequent desorption of uranium because of uranium partitioning to the organic phase. These experiments demonstrate that organic compounds influence the mobility and chemistry of uranium in the environment.

This process results in differences in drain currents at low (80 K) versus high (294 K) temperatures. Irradiation increases the gate and drain currents at 80 K, and decreases the drain current at room temperature. These effects saturate at ~3 × 1010 n/cm² indicating complexing with a native impurity. After a room temperature anneal, the effect on the gate current persists and the drain current partially recovers. A two-step persistent interface trap formation model is presented that explains these results. This model is further supported by CV measurements at 80 K and 294 K after annealing.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2007/12//12/1/2007 VL - 41 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 8195 EP - 8202 SN - 0013936X AB - Xenobiotics such as explosives and pesticides released into the environment can have lethal and sublethal impacts on soil organisms such as earthworms with potential subsequent impacts athighertrophic levels. To better understand the molecular toxicological mechanisms of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive, in Eisenia fetida, earthworms were exposed to a gradient of TNT-spiked soils for 28 days and impacts on gene expression were examined using a 4032 cDNA microarray. Reproduction was increased at low doses of TNT, whereas high doses of TNT reduced juvenile production. On the basis of reproduction responses to TNT, four treatments, that is, control, 2, 10.6, and 38.7 mg/kg, were selected for gene expression studies in a balanced interwoven loop design microarray experiment in which the expression of 311 transcripts was significantly affected. Reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) data on 68 selected differentially and nondifferentially expressed transcripts showed a significant correlation with microarray results. The expression of genes involved in multiple biological processes was altered, including muscle contraction, neuronal signaling and growth, ubiquitinylation, fibrinolysis and coagulation, iron and calcium homeostasis, oxygen transport, and immunity. Chitinase activity assays confirmed down-regulation of chitinase genes as indicated by array and RT-QPCR data. An acute toxicity test provided evidence that dermal contact with TNT can cause bleeding, inflammation, and constriction, which may be explained by gene expression results. Sublethal doses of TNT affected the nervous system, caused blood disorders similar to methemoglobinemia, and weakened immunity in E. fetida.

T1 - Moderate zinc deficiency negatively affects biomechanical properties of rat tibiae independently of body composition JO - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry JF - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Y1 - 2007/12// VL - 18 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 813 EP - 819 SN - 09552863 AB - Abstract: To guide development of novel nutritional strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of stress fractures, we observed the effects of manipulating dietary zinc (Zn) content on bone integrity in Sprague–Dawley rats fed either a severely Zn-deficient (ZnD; 1 ppm), a moderately Zn-deficient (MZnD; 5 ppm) or a Zn-adequate (ZnAD; 30 ppm) diet for 6 weeks. At the completion of the diet period, body composition, bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA) and bone mineral density (BMD) were determined in vivo by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Following euthanasia, long bones were collected for determination of Zn content and biomechanical strength testing. Despite significant positive correlations between dietary Zn and both body weight (BW) and bone Zn content for the entire cohort (r=.77 and r=.83, respectively), rats fed MZnD or ZnAD diets did not differ in feed intakes, body composition, BMC, BA, BMD or BW. Tibial bones, but not femur bones, appear to be more responsive to dietary Zn manipulation, as all bone biomechanical strength indices in the ZnAD-fed rats were significantly greater than in rats fed the ZnD diets. Rats fed either MZnD or ZnAD diets had stronger tibiae (129% increase in maximum load and stress at maximum load, P<.01) compared with those fed ZnD diets. The load at breakage for the tibial bones of rats fed MZnD diets was not different from the ZnD rats, but lower (P<.05) than that of the ZnAD rats. These results suggest that since feed intakes, body composition, BMC, BA, BMD and BW were not significantly different between the MZnD- and ZnAD-fed animals, the reduced bone integrity observed in the MZnD-fed rats resulted from dietary Zn inadequacy, and not as a result of the reduced growth that is typically associated with Zn deficiency.

The objective of the present study was to identify soluble proteins in rat soleus muscle that were responsive to different levels of dietary zinc. Rats (n=21) were fed diets containing three concentrations of zinc: 5, 30 and 200 ppm for 42 days. There was no difference in body weights of the rats consuming the 5-ppm zinc diet compared to the rats consuming the 30- or 200-ppm zinc diets; however, bone zinc levels were significantly decreased in the 5-ppm dietary zinc group. Individual soluble protein fractions were isolated from these muscles and the samples were prepared for two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The expression levels of four proteins were significantly depressed by dietary Zn depletion and supplementation, S-glutathiolated carbonic anhydrase, myosin light polypeptide 3, heat shock protein 20 and heart fatty acid binding protein. This is the first report that indicates that both Zn depletion and supplementation result in protein expression profiles that may negatively affect skeletal muscle function. These results indicate that there are specific signaling pathways that require proper Zn nutriture for maintaining optimal muscle function and suggest that the consumption of pharmacologic doses of Zn may be detrimental to muscle function.

The investigation of the relationship between disturbance from off-road vehicles and the intensity of the activities that involve use of vehicles is essential for water and soil conservation and facility management. Models have been developed in a previous study to predict disturbance caused by off-road vehicles. However, the effect of data on model quality and model performance, and the appropriate structure of models have not been previously investigated. In order to improve the quality and performance of disturbance models, this study was designed to investigate the effects of model structure and data. The experiment considered and tested: (1) two measures of disturbance based on the Vegetation Cover Factor (C Factor) of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and Disturbance Intensity; (2) model structure using two modeling approaches; and (3) three subsets of data. The adjusted R-square and residuals from validation data are used to represent model quality and performance, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to identify factors which have significant effects on model quality and performance. The results of the ANOVA show that subsets of data have significant effects on both model quality and performance for both measures of disturbance. The ANOVA also detected that the C Factor models have higher quality and performance than the Disturbance models. Although modeling approaches are not a significant factor based on the ANOVA tests, models containing interaction terms can increase the adjusted R-squares for nearly all tested conditions and the maximum improvement can reach 31%.

The coatings systems tested, which incorporated conversion coating layers, primers, and topcoats, were exposed in a marine atmosphere, two different accelerated cabinet tests (SAE J2334 and ASTM B117), and a constant immersion exposure to artificial seawater. Visual observations and electrochemical measurements (including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy [EIS]) were made as a function of exposure time. The results of these tests were used to compare the corrosion protection abilities of the coating systems based on barrier protection and defect protection. Impedance results were found to be useful for assessing barrier protection while scribe damage allowed for defect protection comparisons. In addition, the testing techniques were compared to correlate results and provide an overall ranking of corrosion protection performance for each coating system.

T1 - Using remotely-sensed estimates of soil moisture to infer soil texture and hydraulic properties across a semi-arid watershed JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2007/09/14/ VL - 110 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 79 EP - 97 SN - 00344257 AB - Near-surface soil moisture is a critical component of land surface energy and water balance studies encompassing a wide range of disciplines. However, the processes of infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration in the vadose zone of the soil are not easy to quantify or predict because of the difficulty in accurately representing soil texture and hydraulic properties in land surface models. This study approaches the problem of parameterizing soil properties from a unique perspective based on components originally developed for operational estimation of soil moisture for mobility assessments. Estimates of near-surface soil moisture derived from passive (L-band) microwave remote sensing were acquired on six dates during the Monsoon ''90 experiment in southeastern Arizona, and used to calibrate hydraulic properties in an offline land surface model and infer information on the soil conditions of the region. Specifically, a robust parameter estimation tool (PEST) was used to calibrate the Noah land surface model and run at very high spatial resolution across the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed. Errors in simulated versus observed soil moisture were minimized by adjusting the soil texture, which in turn controls the hydraulic properties through the use of pedotransfer functions. By estimating within a continuous range of widely applicable soil properties such as sand, silt, and clay percentages rather than applying rigid soil texture classes, lookup tables, or large parameter sets as in previous studies, the physical accuracy and consistency of the resulting soils could then be assessed. In addition, the sensitivity of this calibration method to the number and timing of microwave retrievals is determined in relation to the temporal patterns in precipitation and soil drying. The resultant soil properties were applied to an extended time period demonstrating the improvement in simulated soil moisture over that using default or county-level soil parameters. The methodology is also applied to an independent case at Walnut Gulch using a new soil moisture product from active (C-band) radar imagery with much lower spatial and temporal resolution. Overall, results demonstrate the potential to gain physically meaningful soil information using simple parameter estimation with few but appropriately timed remote sensing retrievals.

Measurements showed that size selectivity in a sediment mixture decreases as shear stress increases. Transport of variously sized sediment particles approaches equal mobility as the transported bed load is composed approximately of the same size particles as surface-bed material. Consequently, a hiding function was derived to account for the increase or reduction in reference shear stress for an individual size class in a sediment mixture as compared with that in an uniformly sized sediment. An empirical equation for determining fractional bed-load transport rate was then formulated by correlating the dimensionless, fractional bed-load transport rate with the dimensionless bed-shear stress. This equation indicated that the hiding function depends not only on the size of individual size class but also on the flow depth used to quantify the magnitude of shear stress. The present study contributes to the body of knowledge used in predicting selective transport of sediment mixtures in gravel-bed streams.

Although trampling studies have been conducted in the past, the analysis of military training in part provides a different perspective and approach. The data showed bulk densities remained relatively constant for a time and then began to increase at an increasing rate for several hundred passes and finally leveled and remained at or below 1.30g/cm3 through the remainder of the experiment. Mathematical models were created based on empirical data from a trampling experiment using a more standard logistical growth curve as well as curves based on Weibull and gamma cumulative distribution functions (CDFs). The experiment and the resulting models give quantifiable continuous inference on the effects of trampling, as opposed to the existing qualitative assessments. These baseline models will be the foundation for future studies of land management when trampling occurs.

Five years of historical yield and weather data were used to calibrate the model over 100 spatially variable grid cells for non-irrigated conditions in the 20.25ha field. This calibrated model then used 28 years of historical weather data to simulate three irrigation scenarios: no irrigation, scheduled uniform irrigation, and precision irrigation. Irrigation improved yield by at least 500kgha−1 in half of the years simulated. Precision irrigation showed slightly lower yields than scheduled uniform irrigation. Assuming use of a center pivot system, irrigation showed economic returns in only one of the 28 years included in the study. High capital costs were the leading restrictor of economic feasibility.

Using remote sensing and GIS techniques, this study quantified cumulative habitat loss in two Southern California watersheds associated with Clean Water Act Section 404 permits, primarily for developments, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1984 to 2002. While the majority of habitat loss occurred outside of explicitly 404-authorized developments, non-explicitly authorized development represented a substantial fraction of observed habitat loss. The spatial distribution of habitat loss and 404 permits were analyzed statistically. In almost all cases, percent habitat loss was significantly correlated with variables representing 404 authorizations. These correlations may indicate the presence of incidental authorizations, suggesting that 404 authorizations within the study area may have indirectly facilitated nearby development (i.e., growth-inducing impacts). This study expanded the use of remote sensing, GIS, and spatial statistics for the purpose of regulatory-driven cumulative impact assessment. Until resource agencies quantify cumulative impacts in a spatially explicit manner and analyze those data statistically, there can be little rigorous scientific basis for formulating regulatory or policy decisions regarding cumulative impacts.

T1 - Workshop Summary: Phosgene-Induced Pulmonary Toxicity Revisited: Appraisal of Early and Late Markers of Pulmonary Injury From Animal Models With Emphasis on Human Significance. JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2007/08// VL - 19 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 789 EP - 810 SN - 08958378 AB - A workshop was held February 14, 2007, in Arlington, VA, under the auspices of the Phosgene Panel of the American Chemistry Council. The objective of this workshop was to convene inhalation toxicologists and medical experts from academia, industry and regulatory authorities to critically discuss past and recent inhalation studies of phosgene in controlled animal models. This included presentations addressing the benefits and limitations of rodent (mice, rats) and nonrodent (dogs) species to study concentration × time (C × t) relationships of acute and chronic types of pulmonary changes. Toxicological endpoints focused on the primary pulmonary effects associated with the acute inhalation exposure to phosgene gas and responses secondary to injury. A consensus was reached that the phosgene-induced increased pulmonary extravasation of fluid and protein can suitably be probed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) techniques. BAL fluid analyses rank among the most sensitive methods to detect phosgene-induced noncardiogenic, pulmonary high-permeability edema following acute inhalation exposure. Maximum protein concentrations in BAL fluid occurred within 1 day after exposure, typically followed by a latency period up to about 15 h, which is reciprocal to the C × t exposure relationship. The C × t relationship was constant over a wide range of concentrations and single exposure durations. Following intermittent, repeated exposures of fixed duration, increased tolerance to recurrent exposures occurred. For such exposure regimens, chronic effects appear to be clearly dependent on the concentration rather than the cumulative concentration × time relationship. The threshold C × t product based on an increased BAL fluid protein following single exposure was essentially identical to the respective C × t product following subchronic exposure of rats based on increased pulmonary collagen and influx of inflammatory cells. Thus, the chronic outcome appears to be contingent upon the acute pulmonary threshold dose. Exposure concentrations high enough to elicit an increased acute extravasation of plasma constituents into the alveolus may also be associated with surfactant dysfunction, intra-alveolar accumulation of fibrin and collagen, and increased recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells. Although the exact mechanisms of toxicity have not yet been completely elucidated, consensus was reached that the acute pulmonary toxicity of phosgene gas is consistent with a simple, irritant mode of action at the site of its initial deposition/retention. The acute concentration × time mortality relationship of phosgene gas in rats is extremely steep, which is typical for a local, directly acting pulmonary irritant gas. Due to the high lipophilicity of phosgene gas, it efficiently penetrates the lower respiratory tract. Indeed, more recent published evidence from animals or humans has not revealed appreciable irritant responses in central and upper airways, unless exposure was to almost lethal concentrations. The comparison of acute inhalation studies in rats and dogs with focus on changes in BAL fluid constituents demonstrates that dogs are approximately three to four times less susceptible to phosgene than rats under methodologically similar conditions. There are data to suggest that the dog may be useful particularly for the study of mechanisms associated with the acute extravasation of plasma constituents because of its size and general morphology and physiology of the lung as well as its oronasal breathing patterns. However, the study of the long-term sequelae of acute effects is experimentally markedly more demanding in dogs as compared to rats, precluding the dog model to be applied on a routine base. The striking similarity of threshold concentrations from single exposure (increased protein in BAL fluid) and repeated-exposure 3-mo inhalation studies (increased pulmonary collagen...

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2007/07/15/ VL - 70 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 1191 EP - 1202 SN - 15287394 AB - The study reported herein examined the metabolism of 14C-labeled hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) resulting from a single oral gavage of 5 ml/kg to male and female Yucatan miniature pigs (43 mg/kg, 56 μCi/kg in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose in water). Blood, urine, and feces were collected at selected times of 1, 6, 12, and 24 h postdose. At 24 h postdose, liver samples were collected. Blood, plasma, liver, and excreta were analyzed for total RDX-derived radioactivity and metabolites were identified. Urine was the major route of elimination of 14C-RDX-derived radioactivity in both males and females. Relatively low levels of radioactivity were found in gastrointestinal contents and in feces, suggesting nearly complete absorption of 14C-RDX following an oral dose. Analysis of urine by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) identified quantifiable levels of two ring-cleavage metabolites, 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal and 4-nitro-2,4-diaza-butanamide, as well as parent RDX. The 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal, was seen in earlier studies of aerobic metabolism of RDX. The 4-nitro-2,4-diaza-butanamide, an amide, was not previously reported but was tentatively identified in this study. Analysis by a more sensitive method (LC/MS/MS) also showed trace amounts of the RDX metabolites 1-nitroso-3, 5-dinitro-1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane (MNX) (in both male and female urine) and 1-nitro-3, 5-dinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (DNX) (in male urine). Analysis of plasma by LC/MS/MS also revealed quantifiable levels of RDX and trace levels of MNX, DNX, and 1,3,5,-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (TNX). None of the liver extracts showed quantifiable levels of RDX or any identifiable metabolites. Most of the radioactivity was in the form of water-soluble high-molecular-weight compounds. RDX when given orally to pigs was rapidly metabolized by loss of two nitro groups followed by ring cleavage.

Crickets (Acheta domestica), tenebroid beetle larvae (Tenebrio molitor), and isopods (Porcellio scaber) were selected as model prey organisms. Lack of standard exposure methodologies for these species has presented a barrier to trophic transfer evaluations, as each species has particular requirements that create challenges for designing exposure conditions. We were able to devise exposure conditions for all three species that allow long-term exposure studies. All prey organisms accumulated lead from contaminated food, and for all species the majority of the accumulated Pb was associated with the exoskeleton (>50%), with metals-rich granules accounting for most of the remaining accumulated lead.

Rats that were made iodine-deficient by long-term restriction of iodine in the diet absorbed a gavage dose of 131I to the thyroid in proportionally greater amounts than rats fed a normal diet. Furthermore, the iodine-deficient rats maintained their high rates of absorption even when challenged by levels of perchlorate in their drinking water sufficient to produce pronounced inhibition of 131I uptake in rats fed a normal diet. Every dose of perchlorate used in this study (1.1, 5.6, and 28 mg/L) produced significant inhibition of iodide uptake in normally fed rats, but only the highest level of perchlorate (28 mg/L) significantly inhibited thyroidal uptake of 131I in the iodine-deficient rats. Taken together, these results demonstrate that iodide-deficient animals exhibit increased resistance to the inhibition of iodine absorption resulting from perchlorate exposure.

Symmetrical, smooth, finite-length, unrestrained cylinders were studied in steady, uniform flows over a range of Reynolds numbers in a smooth-bottomed, horizontal flume. The study uses PIV tracking methods in the laboratory to identify the movement of ordnance simulated by unrestrained cylinders. The PIV is supported with a numerical analysis using a RANS flow solver. The simulations showed that at low Reynolds numbers the cylinders should roll at speeds near 70% of the free-stream flow.

To follow its biodegradation dynamics, CL-20 was added to soil alone or together with organic co-substrates and N-source and incubated under oxic and anoxic conditions. Without co-substrates, the CL-20 degradation was detectable only under anoxic conditions. The highest degradation rate was found under aerobic conditions and with the addition of co-substrates, succinate and pyruvate being more efficient than acetate, glucose, starch or yeast extract. When added to intact soil, CL-20 degradation was not affected by the N content, but in soil serially diluted with N-free succinate-mineral medium, the process became N-limited. About 40% of randomly selected bacterial colonies grown on succinate agar medium were able to decompose CL-20. Based on 16S rDNA gene sequence and cell morphology, they were affiliated to Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, Ochrobactrum, Mycobacterium and Ralstonia. In the pure culture of Pseudomonas sp. MS-P grown on the succinatemineral N(+) medium, the degradation kinetics were first order with the same apparent kinetic constant throughout growth and decline phases of the batch culture. The observed kinetics agreed with the model that supposes co-metabolic transformation of CL-20 uncoupled from cell growth, which can be carried out by several constitutive cellular enzymes with wide substrate specificity.

Waste products were added to two soils at rates of 17.9, 35.8, 71.6, and dry weight and incubated at for 90d. Every 30d, nitrate and ammonium concentrations were analyzed and C mineralization was measured as total evolved and added total organic C. Carbon mineralization of the undecomposed waste decreased over time, was directly related to application rate and soil nutrient status, and was significantly higher than C mineralization of the compost, in which C evolution was relatively unaffected across time, soils, and application rates. Carbon mineralization, measured as percentage C added by the wastes, also indicated no differences between composted waste treatments. However, mineralization as a percentage of C added in the undecomposed waste treatments was inversely related to application rate in the more productive soil, and no rate differences were observed in the highly degraded soil. Total inorganic N concentrations were much higher in the compost- and un-amended soils than in undecomposed waste treatments. Significant N immobilization occurred in all undecomposed waste treatments. Because C mineralization of the undecomposed waste was dependant on soil nutrient status and led to significant immobilization of N, this material appears to be best suited for highly degraded soils low in organic matter where restoration of vegetation adapted to nutrient poor soils is desired.

We tested individual mosquitoes captured in Olancho Province, Honduras, in September 2003. Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on 2- to 4- day-old chickens previously inoculated with a New York strain (Crow 397-99) of WNV. Infection rates in Cx. nigripalpusranged from 81–96 after feeding on chickens with viremias between 106.3and 107.4plaque-forming units per milliliter. Development of a disseminated infection was directly correlated with holding time after the infectious blood meal as 68 (1928) of the mosquitoes tested 20 days after the infectious blood meal had a disseminated infection as compared to 38 (1540) of the mosquitoes tested 14 days after feeding on the same viremic chickens (viremia 106.9–7.4). Nearly all (45) Cx. nigripalpuswith a disseminated infection that fed on susceptible chickens transmitted virus by bite. In addition, 8 (57) of 14 Cx. nigripalpuswith a disseminated infection transmitted virus when tested by a capillary tube feeding assay. Based on its efficiency of viral transmission in this study and its role in the transmission of the closely related St. Louis encephalitis virus in the southeastern United States, Cx. nigripalpusshould be considered a potentially important vector of WNV in Honduras and the rest of Central America.

ARMS uses available soil (soil texture, porosity, K sat), land cover (vegetation type, LAI, Fraction of Greenness), and atmospheric data (Albedo) in standardized vector and raster GIS data formats at multiple scales, in addition to climatological forcing data and precipitation. PEST (Parameter EStimation Tool) was integrated into the process to optimize soil porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sat), using the remotely sensed measurements, in order to provide a more accurate estimate of the soil moisture. The modeling process is controlled by the user through a graphical interface developed as part of the ArcMap component of ESRI ArcGIS.

To determine whether concentrations of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) in soil are toxic to amphibians, 100 red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) were exposed to either 1500, 800, 200, 75 or 0mg 2,4-DNT/kg soil for 28 days and evaluated for indicators of toxicity. Concentrations of 2,4-DNT were less than targets and varied with time. Most salamanders exposed to concentrations exceeding 1050mg/kg died or were moribund within the first week. Salamanders exposed to soil concentrations exceeding 345mg/kg lost >6% of their body mass though no mortality occurred. Overt effects included a reduction in feed consumption and an increase in bucco-pharyngeal oscillations in salamanders. These results suggest that only high soil concentrations of 2,4-DNT have the potential to cause overtly toxic effects in terrestrial salamanders.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2007/06// VL - 19 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 667 EP - 681 SN - 08958378 AB - To improve toxicity estimates from sublethal exposures to chemical warfare nerve agents (CWNA), it is necessary to generate mathematical models of the absorption, distribution, and elimination of nerve agents. However, current models are based on representative data sets generated with different routes of exposure and in different species and are designed to interpolate between limited laboratory data sets to predict a wide range of possible human exposure scenarios. This study was performed to integrate CWNA sublethal toxicity data in male Duncan Hartley guinea pigs. Specific goal was to compare uptake and clearance kinetics of different sublethal doses of sarin (either 0.1 × or 0.4 × LC50) in blood and tissues of guinea pigs exposed to agent by acute whole-body inhalation exposure after the 60-min LC50 was determined. Arterial catheterization allowed repeated blood sampling from the same animal at various time periods. Blood and tissue levels of acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and regenerated sarin (rGB) were determined at various time points during and following sarin exposure. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the graph of plasma or RBC rGB concentration versus time: time to reach the maximal concentration; maximal concentration; mean residence time; clearance; volume of distribution at steady state; terminal elimination-phase rate constant; and area under plasma concentration time curve extrapolated to infinity using the WinNonlin analysis program 5.0. Plasma and RBC t1/2 for rGB was also calculated. Data will be used to develop mathematical model of absorption and distribution of sublethal sarin doses into susceptible tissues.

A stable, non-toxic and immunogenic recombinant ricin A-chain vaccine (RTA 1-33/44-198) has been developed by protein engineering. We identified optimal formulation conditions for this vaccine under which it remained stable and potent in storage for up to 18 months, and resisted multiple rounds of freeze–thawing without stabilizing co-solvents. Reformulation from phosphate buffer to succinate buffer increased adherence of the protein to aluminum hydroxide adjuvant from 15 to 91%, with a concomitant increase of nearly threefold in effective antigenicity in a mouse model. Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we examined the secondary structure of the protein while it was adhered to aluminum hydroxide. Adjuvant adsorption produced only a small apparent change in secondary structure, while significantly stabilizing the protein to thermal denaturation. The vaccine therefore may be safely stored in the presence of adjuvant. Our results suggest that optimization of adherence of a protein antigen to aluminum adjuvant can be a useful route to increasing both stability and effectiveness, and support a role for a “depot effect” of adjuvant.

Ostazeski JO - Biological Control JF - Biological Control Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 175 EP - 183 SN - 10499644 AB - Abstract: The submersed macrophyte, Hydrilla verticillata, was grown using different nutritional regimes under greenhouse conditions to obtain plants that were significantly different in percent nitrogen-free extract, crude fiber, ether-extractable compounds, crude protein, and ash in shoot tissue. Shoots were then challenged by the biological control fungal pathogen, Mycoleptodiscus terrestris, to determine the effects of plant nutritional status on disease severity, growth, and reproduction. Fourteen days post-inoculation, shoots from plants grown in high-fertility sediment had significantly greater disease severity ratings than shoots from plants grown in low-fertility sediment. The nutritional status of the plants also impacted asexual reproduction of the pathogen by thin-walled conidia and melanized survival structures called microsclerotia. At 14 days post-inoculation, significantly higher numbers of conidia were produced in flasks containing hydrilla plants grown in high-fertility sediment. In contrast, microsclerotia increased almost fourfold in leaf tissues of hydrilla grown in low-fertility sediment. It appears from these studies that the nutritional condition of target plants cannot be excluded as an important factor in efficacy of pathogens used as biological control agents. The nutritional status of the host tissues influences M. terrestris ingress into host tissues, vegetative growth, production of secondary inoculum in the form of disseminative spores or conidia, and production of survival structures, the microsclerotia.

The non-composted byproduct of this process, Fluff®, has the potential to be utilized as a soil amendment to improve soil conditions in highly degraded soils. A study was initiated to evaluate Fluff as a soil amendment for establishing native grasses on disturbed US Army training lands. The Fluff was incorporated into a sandy loam soil at Fort Benning Military Reservation, GA on two sites: a moderately degraded and a highly degraded soil. The Fluff was incorporated at rates of 0, 18, 36, 72, and 143 Mg ha- 1 to assess the effects on soil properties for two growing seasons. The addition of Fluff improved available plant nutrients and soil pH levels at both sites. Also, Fluff reduced the level of soil bulk density and increased soil concentration of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). Because no adverse environmental effects were detected and Fluff improved soil physical and nutrient conditions as well as improving perennial grass establishment with increasing application rates, land application of Fluff to degraded US Army training grounds could be considered a viable and beneficial alternative to current waste management practices.

The use of human plasma-derived butyrylcholinesterase (HuBuChE) to neutralize the toxic effects of nerve agents in vivo has been shown to both aid survival and protect against decreased cognitive function after nerve agent exposure. Recently, a commercially produced recombinant form of human butyrylcholinesterase (r-HuBuChE; PharmAthene Inc.) expressed in the milk of transgenic goats has become available. This material is biochemically similar to plasma-derived HuBuChE in in vitro assays. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of a polyethylene glycol coated (pegylated) form of r-HuBuChE were determined in guinea pigs; the enzyme was rapidly bioavailable with a half-life (t 1/2) and pharmacokinetic profile that resembled that of plasma-derived huBuChE. Guinea pigs were injected with 140mg/kg (i.m.) of pegylated r-HuBuChE 18h prior to exposure (sc) to 5.5×LD50 VX or soman. VX and soman were administered in a series of three injections of 1.5×LD50, 2.0×LD50, and 2.0×LD50, respectively, with injections separated by 2h. Pretreatment with pegylated r-HuBuChE provided 100% survival against multiple lethal doses of VX and soman. Guinea pigs displayed no signs of nerve agent toxicity following exposure. Assessments of motor activity, coordination, and acquisition of spatial memory were performed for 2 weeks following nerve agent exposure. There were no measurable decreases in motor or cognitive function during this period. In contrast, animals receiving 1.5×LD50 challenges of soman or VX and treated with standard atropine, 2-PAM, and diazepam therapy showed 50 and 100% survival, respectively, but exhibited marked decrements in motor function and, in the case of GD, impaired spatial memory acquisition. The advances in this field have resulted in the decision to select both the plasma-derived and the recombinant form of BuChE for advanced development and transition to clinical trials. Efforts have now been expanded to identify a catalytic protein capable of not only binding, but also rapidly hydrolyzing the standard threat nerve agents. Recent work has focused on paraoxonase-1 (PON1), a naturally occurring human serum enzyme with the capacity to catalyze the hydrolysis of nerve agents, albeit too slowly to afford dramatic protection. Using rational design, several amino acids involved in substrate binding have been identified and site-directed mutations have revealed that residue H115 plays an important role in binding. In addition, the stereospecificity of PON1 for the catalytic hydrolysis of soman has been examined. The enzyme exhibits a slight stereospecificity for the C+P+ isomer of soman, which is due more to preferential binding than to selective hydrolysis of this isomer. The results suggest that it may be possible to engineer a mutant form of PON1 with enhanced activity and stereospecificity for the most toxic nerve agent isoforms.

To enhance the protection, and to reduce the lung injury of vaccinated mice that survived ricin toxin challenge, the mucosal adjuvant LTK63 or LTR72, two mutants of Escherichia coli LT enterotoxin adjuvant was administered with rRV. The safety of intranasally administered LTR63 was assessed as well. With 4, 2, or l μg of LTR63, the anti-ricin ELISA serum immunoglobulin geometric mean titer (GMT) increased up to 147-, 356-, 493-, and 17-fold for IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgA, respectively. The comparable increases for GMTs of IgG and IgG1 in the presence LTR72 were up to 147-, and 617-fold, respectively. All three dose levels of LTK63 enhanced the ELISA GMTs in the lung lavage up to 192-, 22-, 4-, and 5-fold for IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgA, respectively. Compared to GMT of rRV alone, the serum-neutralizing antibody GMTs for the three dose levels were enhanced up to 11-fold with LTK63. LTK63 augmented the ricin-related lymphoproliferative response of the cultured spleen lymphocytes and of the isolated CD4+ T lymphocytes. In the cultured lymphocytes, LTK63 stimulated predominantly TH1 cytokines. While only 10% of the mice that were vaccinated with rRV survived lethal challenge, in the presence of LTK63 or LTR72, the respective survival rates were augmented to 100%. Compared to the surviving mice vaccinated with rRV alone, the vaccine with LTK63 or LTR72 did not attenuate the extent of the ricin-related lung injury at a single or two time-points, respectively. Safety of LTK63 administration was indicated by the absence of histopathological changes in every organ, including the lungs and in the central nervous systems (CNS) of the mice during the entire 92 days of the study. In the nasal passages of the mice that received LTK63, a transient inflammation occurred without permanent epithelial changes. Administration of three dose levels of the adjuvant in the presence of rRV caused no additional changes. LTK63 and LTR72 both were very effective and safe mucosal adjuvants at all three dose levels employed in these studies. Both significantly enhanced the protection of a marginally effective dose of rRV against aerosol-delivered ricin challenge. LTK63 stimulated cytokines, which could be surrogate markers of efficacy, with human relevance potential. In spite of the better efficacy, rRV with LTK63, or with LTR72, failed to reduce the ricin-related lung injury. Most likely, a larger than suboptimal dose could resolve the lung injury of the vaccinated mice in the presence of a larger dose of the mucosal adjuvant.

We explored the potential effects of native oyster restoration on dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorophyll, light attenuation, and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in eutrophic Chesapeake Bay. A tenfold increase in existing oyster biomass is projected to reduce system-wide summer surface chlorophyll by approximately 1 mg m-3, increase summer-average deep-water DO by 0.25 g m-3, add 2100 kg C (20%) to summer SAV biomass, and remove 30,000 kg d-1 nitrogen through enhanced denitrification. The influence of oyster restoration on deep extensive pelagic waters is limited. Oyster restoration is recommended as a supplement to nutrient load reduction, not as a substitute.

These studies were conducted as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce, an investigation of environmental impacts originating from the failure of the hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This paper presents data regarding the effects of pumped floodwaters on sediment chemistry, toxicity, and benthic invertebrate assemblages near pumping stations that discharged floodwaters into marshes near Chalmette and Violet, Louisiana. Chemical contamination of sediments was observed and varied among sample locations (e.g., outfall locations, wastewater treatment plant, canals, and wetlands); however, trends in the chemistry data were not always consistent with bioassay results. A comparison of the sediment chemistry data from this study with three other studies reporting concentrations of chemicals in sediments within the city of New Orleans suggested that sediments and associated contaminants present within the levees were not pumped into the marsh in appreciable quantities.

JO - Landscape Ecology JF - Landscape Ecology Y1 - 2007/04// VL - 22 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 419 EP - 430 SN - 09212973 AB - Land use change is an important research area in landscape ecology and urban development. Prediction of land use change (urban development) provides critical information for making the right policies and management plans in order to maintain and improve ecosystem and city functions. Logistic regression is a widely used method to predict binomial probabilities of land use change when just two responses (change and no-change) are considered. However, in practice, more than two types of change are encountered and multinomial probabilities are therefore needed. The existing methods for predicting multinomial probabilities have limits in building multinomial probability models and are often based on improper assumptions. This is due to the lack of proper methodology and inadequate software. In this study, a procedure has been developed for building models to predict the multinomial probabilities of land use change and urban development. The foundation of this procedure consists of a special bisection decomposition system for the decomposition of multiple-class systems to bi-class systems, conditional probability inference, and logistic regression for binomial probability models. A case study of urban development has been conducted to evaluate this procedure. The evaluation results demonstrated that different samples and bisection decomposition systems led to very similar quality and performance in the developed multinomial probability models, which indicates the high stability of the proposed procedure for this case study.

The MDP formed by dynamic interactions between river and coast at various temporal and spatial scales, and human activity has reduced these interactions at all scales. Restoration efforts aim to re-establish this dynamic interaction, with emphasis on reconnecting the river to the deltaic plain. Science must guide MDP restoration, which will provide insights into delta restoration elsewhere and generally into coasts facing climate change in times of resource scarcity.

T1 - Persistent organic pollutants in outmigrant juvenile chinook salmon from the Lower Columbia Estuary, USA JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2007/03/15/ VL - 374 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 342 EP - 366 SN - 00489697 AB - Although chemical contaminants are recognized as a potential factor contributing to the salmon declines in the Pacific Northwest, United States, information on contaminant concentrations in threatened and endangered salmon from the Columbia Estuary is limited. In this study we monitored exposure to several persistent organic pollutants [polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and other organochlorine pesticides] in outmigrant juvenile fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) in the Lower Columbia River, and evaluated the potential for adverse effects on salmon and the estuarine food web. Contaminants were measured in whole bodies and stomach contents of subyearling to yearling chinook collected in 2001 and 2002 from sites near the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, Longview, and within the lower Estuary. The contaminants detected at highest concentrations in salmon whole bodies were PCBs and DDTs. Average concentrations of PCBs in salmon from the sampling sites ranged from 1300 to 14,000 ng/g lipid, in some cases exceeding the recently estimated threshold for adverse health effects in juvenile salmonids of 2400 ng/g lipid. Average DDT concentrations ranged from 1800 to 27,000 ng/g lipid. These levels are among the highest measured in juvenile salmon from Pacific Northwest estuaries to date. Concentrations of PCBs and DDTs in salmon whole bodies showed no clear spatial gradient from the Willamette/Columbia Confluence to the mouth of the Columbia, but tended to be higher in larger fish and older fish, suggesting a correlation with estuarine residence time. PCBs, DDTs, and PAHs were all found in salmon stomach contents, indicating that prey is a source of exposure. Hatchery feed may have contributed to contaminant body burdens in those fish that were of hatchery origin. Contaminant body burdens in salmon were poorly correlated with contaminant concentrations previously measured in local bed sediments, suggesting that pelagic as well as benthic sources are important in determining salmon exposure.

Concentrations from a given set of wells can be compared against one another in a variety of ways, but the consideration as to which chemical concentrations are best related to one another is limited. In this analysis, an example is given to show that if there are a total ofNconcentration values, allNmust be considered simultaneously in order to ascertain whether the observed conditions at the well can be explained as a mixture, and this can be done by solving a quadratic programming problem-convex hull.

It relates that anisodamine is a non-selective cholinergic antagonist structurally related to atropine and scopolamine. Most of its pharmacological effects is said to be less toxic and less potent than atropine and displays less central nervous system toxicity than scopalamine. In contrast to atropine, it was observed to depress cardiac conduction and has anti-arrhythmic properties. It was taken into account that the primary therapeutic use of anisodamine was for treatment of septic shock probably related to its ability to increase blood flow through the microcirculation via a mechanism that remains to be elucidated.

Classical approaches have been generally unsuccessful for Marburg and Ebola viruses and pose enormous safety concerns as well. Modern approaches, in particular those using vector-based approaches have met with success in nonhuman primate models although success against Ebola has been more difficult to achieve than Marburg. Despite these successes, more work remains to be done. For the vector-based vaccines, safety in humans and potency in the face of pre-existing anti-vector immunity may be critical thresholds for licensure. The immunological mechanism(s) by which these vaccines protect has not yet been convincingly determined. Licensure of these vaccines for natural outbreaks may be possible through clinical trials although this will be very difficult; licensure may also be possible by pivotal efficacy studies in animal models with an appropriate challenge. Nevertheless, nonhuman primate studies have shown that protection against Marburg and Ebola is possible and there is hope that one day a vaccine will be licensed for human use.

We captured or recaptured, marked, and released 503 Gulf sturgeon, 98 adults being tagged with internal or external telemetry tags. Movement chronologies were generally similar to those reported in other studies. Summer habitats were found in the Pearl and Bogue Chitto rivers (Louisiana-Mississippi), and these habitats were occupied from April through November. Adults and subadults were spatially separated, the adults being concentrated in the Bogue Chitto River and the subadults in the Pearl River. Tagged adults began to leave the summer habitat during September and to arrive at the mouth of the Pearl River and the Rigolets Pass. The last departure from this location was in late November. Wintering habitat between Cat, Ship, Horn, and Petit Bois islands in the Mississippi Sound was used between November and early March. Gulf sturgeon returned to the Rigolets Pass from March through June. Despite extensive sampling and the use of multiple collection gears, no eggs, larvae, or age-0 fish were captured and Gulf sturgeon spawning sites within this system remain unknown. The identification of summer and wintering habitats is essential for critical habitat designation for this species, which is federally listed as threatened.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2007/02// VL - 27 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 29 SN - 02755947 AB - A surface flow bypass system for juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. began operation at the second powerhouse (B2) of Bonneville Dam on the lower Columbia River in spring 2004. This surface bypass, called the "B2 corner collector," is the result of extensive modification of the original B2 sluice chute. Because steelhead O. mykiss are iteroparous, the effect of this bypass and the unmodified sluiceway at the older first powerhouse (BI) on downstream migration of postspawn steelhead (i.e., kelts) may be an important factor in the rate of iteroparity. As such, passage at Bonneville Dam (river kilometer [rkm] 234, measured from the mouth of the Columbia River) was examined to understand the efficiency of surface bypass in passing kelts. Steelhead kelts were collected, radio-tagged, and volitionally released from the juvenile bypass facilities at McNary Dam (rkm 465) and John Day Dam (rkm 345) on the Columbia River during spring 2004. Forebay residence times for kelts passing via B2 (with the corner collector operating) were significantly reduced relative to residence times published from a prior period with similar water flows at B2 (2002). Passage efficiency (nonturbine passage) at B2 significantly increased in relation to this same period. Over 80% of kelts at B2 and nearly the same percentage at B I were routed away from turbines via surface flow routes passing up to 5% of total discharge at each powerhouse, indicating that relatively small amounts of surface flow are needed to pass kelts via nonturbine routes. Providing surface flow passage routes may provide an efficient means of bolstering iteroparity rates by increasing the number of kelts that successfully navigate Bonneville Dam during the spring.

In this study, we developed a real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that targets the xplA functional gene involved in the breakdown/transformation of RDX. The xplA gene, described previously [Seth-Smith, H.M., Rosser, S.J., Basran, A., Travis, E.R., Dabbs, E.R., Nicklin S., Bruce, N.C., 2002. Cloning, sequencing, and characterization of the hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine degradation gene cluster from Rhodococcus rhodochrous. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 68, 4764–4771.], was isolated from Rhodococcus rhodochrous 11Y and codes for a fused flavodoxin–cytochrome P450 protein. We applied the xplA TaqMan PCR assay to detect and monitor strain 11Y in soil microcosms that had been amended with strain 11Y and RDX as well as soil microcosms in which soils had been subjected to heat-sterilization prior to the addition of strain 11Y and RDX. The specificity of the assay was tested against a number of genomic bacterial templates and surprisingly found to cross react with other RDX degrading bacteria. Two of these strains, Gordonia sp. KTR9 and Williamsia sp. KTR4, were previously isolated in our laboratory and were not known to possess xplA homologs. Southern blot analysis confirmed the presence of xplA gene homologs in both of these strains. The sensitivity of the xplA TaqMan PCR primer/probes set was evaluated using 11Y cell standards as well as 11Y cell standards spiked in soils that mimicked conditions found in the experimental soil microcosms. While the assay was found to be linear over a range of 6 orders of magnitude for both sets of standards, sensitivity of the assay was reduced between one and two logs for cells spiked in soil. The capacity to monitor the presence of specific microorganisms and/or genes coding enzymes involved in RDX transformation/breakdown in complex environmental samples will be critical for bioremediation strategies targeting explosives that rely on in situ bioaugmentation and monitored natural attenuation.

Community composition differed between disposal and reference sites (ANOSIM) for each disposal event. Oweniid sand worms, Amphinomid fire worms, and brittle stars (Ophiuriodea) contributed the most to community distinctions between disposal and reference sites (SIMPER), with higher abundances at the disposal sites. Total infaunal abundance was similar to pre-disposal and reference conditions within 3–10months of thin-layer disposal. Distinctions in community composition between disposal and reference sites (nMDS) persisted throughout the 16-month study period, but were less pronounced at the site where sediment composition was unchanged by disposal. Size distributions of some taxa (e. G. , gastropod and hemichordate) suggest adults recolonized the newly deposited sediments either through vertical migration or lateral immigration from adjacent areas. Thin-layer disposal offers a viable alternative to conventional open-water disposal practices and warrants further exploration for other areas with deeper bathymetries and different hydrodynamic regimes.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Protecting civilian and military water supplies has received more attention since the United States began its war on terror in 2001. Both chlorine and bromine are used by branches of the U.S. military for disinfecting water supplies; however, limited data exists as to the effectiveness of these additives when used against viral biowarfare agents. The present study sought to evaluate the survival of selected viral biothreat agents in disinfected water. Disinfected water samples were spiked with vaccinia virus strain WR and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus strain TC-83 each separately to a final concentration of approximately 1×106 PFU/mL, and survival was assessed by plaque assay. Both viruses were inactivated by 1 mg/L free available chlorine (FAC) and 2 mg/L total bromine within one hour. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that both chlorine and bromine are effective disinfectants against vaccinia virus and VEE strain TC-83 at the concentrations tested.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Six monoclonal antibodies were isolated that exhibited specificity for a furin cleavage site deletion mutant (V3526) of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV). These antibodies comprise a single competition group and bound the E3 glycoprotein of VEEV subtype I viruses but failed to bind the E3 glycoprotein of other alphaviruses. These antibodies neutralized V3526 virus infectivity but did not neutralize the parental strain of Trinidad donkey (TrD) VEEV. However, the E3-specific antibodies did inhibit the production of virus from VEEV TrD-infected cells. In addition, passive immunization of mice demonstrated that antibody to the E3 glycoprotein provided protection against lethal VEEV TrD challenge. This is the first recognition of a protective epitope in the E3 glycoprotein. Furthermore, these results indicate that E3 plays a critical role late in the morphogenesis of progeny virus after E3 appears on the surfaces of infected cells.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST-2/tetherin) is a cellular membrane protein that inhibits the release of HIV-1. We show for the first time, using infectious viruses, that BST-2 also inhibits egress of arenaviruses but has no effect on filovirus replication and spread. Specifically, infectious Lassa virus (LASV) release significantly decreased or increased in human cells in which BST-2 was either stably expressed or knocked down, respectively. In contrast, replication and spread of infectious Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) and Lake Victoria marburgvirus (MARV) were not affected by these conditions. Replication of infectious Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) and cowpox virus (CPXV) was also not affected by BST-2 expression. Elevated cellular levels of human or murine BST-2 inhibited the release of virus-like particles (VLPs) consisting of the matrix proteins of multiple highly virulent NIAID Priority Pathogens, including arenaviruses (LASV and Machupo virus [MACV]), filoviruses (ZEBOV and MARV), and paramyxoviruses (Nipah virus). Although the glycoproteins of filoviruses counteracted the antiviral activity of BST-2 in the context of VLPs, they could not rescue arenaviral (LASV and MACV) VLP release upon BST-2 overexpression. Furthermore, we did not observe colocalization of filoviral glycoproteins with BST-2 during infection with authentic viruses. None of the arenavirus-encoded proteins rescued budding of VLPs in the presence of BST-2. Our results demonstrate that BST-2 might be a broad antiviral factor with the ability to restrict release of a wide variety of human pathogens. However, at least filoviruses, RVFV, and CPXV are immune to its inhibitory effect.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - During January-June 2010, a total of 42 cases of confirmed Shigella sonnei infections was diagnosed at the Darnall Army Medical Center (DAMC) in Fort Hood, Texas, USA. Of these 42 cases, nearly two-thirds occurred in females (64%) and more than three-fourths (76%) were in children aged ≤10 years (median age, 5 years). Of all the cases, 14 (33%) were diagnosed in the period 21 February-27 March, and 8 (19%) others were diagnosed during 30 May-12 June. Based on the investigation by the DAMC Communicable Disease Service for the February-March cases, no links other than within households were identified. With regards to the May-June cluster of cases, the DAMC staff hypothesized a possible relationship of cases to recreational water activities during the Memorial Day weekend. Two cases attended the same pool party and two other cases swam in lakes shortly before their illness onsets. The other four cases reportedly had ill family members but no common links.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agricultural Entomology N2 - Human serum paraoxonase-1 (HuPON1) is difficult to either purify from plasma or functionally express in high yield from recombinant sources. Here, we describe the characterization of functional HuPON1 expressed and purified from Trichoplusia ni (T. ni) larvae infected with an orally active form of baculovirus. SDS-PAGE and anti-HuPON1 Western blot analyses yielded only three bands of approximately 41, 42, and 44 kDa. MALDI-TOF confirmed the identity of each of these bands as HuPON1 with greater than 95% confidence. These isoforms result from differential glycosylation of the enzyme as indicated by peptide mapping, mass analysis, and PNGase F deglycosylation experiments. Recombinant insect-produced HuPON1 hydrolyzed phenyl acetate, paraoxon, and the nerve agents GF, VX, and VR. The enzyme had dramatic stereoselectivity for the P+ isomers of VX and VR. T. ni larvae expressing HuPON1 were remarkably resistant to the pesticide chlorpyrifos. Together, these results demonstrate that the caterpillar of the T. ni moth can be used as an expression system to produce large quantities of functional recombinant HuPON1. Insect production of HuPON1 may provide a source for both in vitro enzymatic and crystallographic studies and in vivo stability and anti-nerve agent efficacy testing.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Current oxime therapies do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier to reactivate organophosphorus nerve agent-inhibited cholinesterase (ChE) within the CNS. We investigated the ability of monoisonitrosoacetone (MINA), a tertiary oxime, to reactivate ChE inhibited by the nerve agent sarin (GB), cyclosarin (GF), or VX, in peripheral tissues and brain of guinea pigs and determined whether reactivation in the CNS will enhance protection against the lethal effects of these three agents. In the reactivation experiment, animals were pretreated with atropine methylnitrate (1.0 mg/kg, i.m.) 15 min prior to subcutaneous (s.c.) challenge with 1.0×LD50 of GB, GF, or VX. Fifteen minutes later animals were treated intramuscularly (i.m.) with MINA (ranging from 22.1 to 139.3 mg/kg) or 2-PAM (25.0 mg/kg). At 60 min after nerve agent, CNS (brainstem, cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, spinal cord, and striatum) and peripheral (blood, diaphragm, heart, and skeletal muscle) tissues were collected for ChE analysis. MINA reactivated nerve agent-inhibited ChE in the CNS and peripheral tissues in a dose-dependent manner in the following order of potency: GB > GF > VX. In a survival experiment, animals were injected i.m. with atropine sulfate (0.5 mg/kg), 2-PAM (25.0 mg/kg), or MINA (35.0, 60.0, or 100.0 mg/kg) alone or in combination 1 min after challenge with varying s.c. doses of GB, GF, or VX to determine the level of protection. The rank order of MINA's efficacy in guinea pigs against nerve agent lethality was the same as for reactivation of inhibited ChE in the CNS. These data show that MINA is capable of reactivating nerve agent-inhibited ChE and that the extent of ChE reactivation within the CNS strongly relates to its therapeutic efficacy.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Entomology N2 - Poisoning via organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents occurs when the OP binds and inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) which transmits signals between nerves and several key somatic regions. When AChE is inhibited, the signal initiated by ACh is not properly terminated. Excessive levels of ACh result in a cholinergic crisis, and in severe cases can lead to death. Current treatments for OP poisoning involve the administration of atropine, which blocks ACh receptors, and oximes, which reactivate AChE after inhibition. Efforts to improve the safety, efficacy, and broad spectrum utility of these treatments are ongoing and usually require the use of appropriate animal model systems. For OP poisoning, the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is a commonly used animal model because guinea pigs more closely mirror primate susceptibility to OP poisoning than do other animals such as rats and mice. This is most likely because among rodents and other small mammals, guinea pigs have a very low relative concentration of serum carboxylesterase, an enzyme known to bind OPs in vitro and to act as an endogenous bioscavenger in vivo. Although guinea pigs historically have been used to test OP poisoning therapies, it has been found recently that guinea pig AChE is substantially more resistant to oxime-mediated reactivation than human AChE. To examine the molecular basis for this difference, we reverse transcribed mRNA encoding guinea pig AChE, amplified the resulting cDNA, and sequenced this product. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of guinea pig AChE were then compared to the human version. Several amino acid differences were noted, and the predicted locations of these differences were mapped onto a structural model of human AChE. To examine directly how these differences affect oxime-mediated reactivation of AChE after inhibition by OPs, human and guinea pig red blood cell ghosts were prepared and used as sources of AChE, and the relative capacity of several different oximes to reactivate each OP-inhibited AChE were determined. The differences we report between human and guinea pig AChE raise additional concerns about the suitability of the guinea pig as an appropriate small animal model to approximate human responses to OP poisoning and therapies.

Registry Number: 9000-81-1. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - This study compared the ability of nine oximes (HI-6, HLö7, MMB-4, TMB-4, carboxime, ICD585, ICD692, ICD3805, and 2-PAM) to reactivate in vivo cholinesterase (ChE) in blood, brain, and peripheral tissues in guinea pigs intoxicated by one of four organophosphorus nerve agents. Two bis-pyridinium compounds without an oxime group, SAD128 and ICD4157, served as non-oxime controls. Animals were injected subcutaneously with 1.0× LD50 of the nerve agents sarin, cyclosarin, VR or VX and treated intramuscularly 5 min later with one of these oximes. Toxic signs and lethality were monitored; tissue ChE activities were determined at 60 min after nerve agent. Some animals exposed to sarin or cyclosarin, with or without non-oxime treatment, died within 60 min; however, no animal treated with an oxime died. For VR or VX, all animals survived the 60 min after exposure, with or without non-oxime or oxime therapy. The four nerve agents caused differential degrees of inhibition in blood, brain regions and peripheral tissues. The tested oximes exhibited differential potency in reactivating nerve agent-inhibited ChE in various peripheral tissues, but did not affect ChE activity in the brain regions. There was no direct relation between blood and peripheral tissues in the reactivating efficacy of oxime treatments. ChE inhibited by sarin was the most susceptible to oxime reactivation while cyclosarin the least susceptible. There was no difference in the ChE reactivating potency between the dimethanesulfonate and dichloride salts of HI-6. MMB-4 significantly reactivated the ChE inhibited by these four nerve agents in blood and all three peripheral tissues of the guinea pig, and among all the oximes tested it was the most effective in vivo ChE reactivator against all four nerve agents.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Registry Number: 10049-04-4, 12597-69-2. N2 - Efficacy of chlorine dioxide (CD) gas generated by two distinct generation systems, Sabre (wet system with gas generated in water) and ClorDiSys (dry system with gas generated in air), was evaluated for inactivation of Bacillus anthracis spores on six building interior surfaces. The six building materials included carpet, acoustic ceiling tile, unpainted cinder block, painted I-beam steel, painted wallboard, and unpainted pinewood. There was no statistically significant difference in the data due to the CD generation technology at a 95% confidence level. Note that a common method of CD gas measurement was used for both wet and dry CD generation types. Doses generated by combinations of different concentrations of CD gas (500, 1,000, 1,500, or 3,000 parts per million of volume [ppmv]) and exposure times (ranging between 0.5 and 12 h) were used to evaluate the relative role of fumigant exposure period and total dose in the decontamination of building surfaces. The results showed that the time required to achieve at least a 6-log reduction in viable spores is clearly a function of the material type on which the spores are inoculated. The wood and cinder block coupons required a longer exposure time to achieve a 6-log reduction. The only material showing a clear statistical difference in rate of decay of viable spores as a function of concentration was cinder block. For all other materials, the profile of spore kill (i.e., change in number of viable spores with exposure time) was not dependent upon fumigant concentration (500 to 3,000 ppmv). The CD dose required for complete spore kill on biological indicators (typically, 1E6 spores of Bacillus atrophaeus on stainless steel) was significantly less than that required for decontamination of most of the building materials tested.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Pathogen diagnostic assays based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology provide high sensitivity and specificity. However, the design of these diagnostic assays is computationally intensive, requiring high-throughput methods to identify unique PCR signatures in the presence of an ever increasing availability of sequenced genomes. Results: We present the Tool for PCR Signature Identification (TOPSI), a high-performance computing pipeline for the design of PCR-based pathogen diagnostic assays. The TOPSI pipeline efficiently designs PCR signatures common to multiple bacterial genomes by obtaining the shared regions through pairwise alignments between the input genomes. TOPSI successfully designed PCR signatures common to 18 Staphylococcus aureus genomes in less than 14 hours using 98 cores on a high-performance computing system. Conclusions: TOPSI is a computationally efficient, fully integrated tool for high-throughput design of PCR signatures common to multiple bacterial genomes.

Number of References: 24 ref. N2 - There exists an urgent need to develop licensed drugs and vaccines for the treatment or prevention of filovirus infections. FGI-103 is a low-molecular-weight compound that was discovered through an in vitro screening assay utilizing a variant of Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) that expresses green fluorescent protein. In vitro analyses demonstrated that FGI-103 also exhibits antiviral activity against wild-type ZEBOV and Sudan ebolavirus, as well as Marburgvirus (MARV) strains Ci67 and Ravn. In vivo administration of FGI-103 as a single intraperitoneal dose of 10 mg/kg delivered 24 h after infection is sufficient to completely protect mice against a lethal challenge with a mouse-adapted strain of either ZEBOV or MARV-Ravn. In a murine model of ZEBOV infection, delivery of FGI-103 reduces viremia and the viral burden in kidney, liver, and spleen tissues and is associated with subdued and delayed proinflammatory cytokine responses and tissue pathology. Taken together, these results identify a promising antiviral therapeutic candidate for the treatment of filovirus infections.

Language: English. Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Public Health; Veterinary Science; Tropical Diseases N2 - Ebola viruses are highly pathogenic viruses that cause outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever in humans and other primates. To meet the need for a vaccine against the several types of Ebola viruses that cause human diseases, we developed a multivalent vaccine candidate (EBO7) that expresses the glycoproteins of Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) and Sudan ebolavirus (SEBOV) in a single complex adenovirus-based vector (CAdVax). We evaluated our vaccine in nonhuman primates against the parenteral and aerosol routes of lethal challenge. EBO7 vaccine provided protection against both Ebola viruses by either route of infection. Significantly, protection against SEBOV given as an aerosol challenge, which has not previously been shown, could be achieved with a boosting vaccination. These results demonstrate the feasibility of creating a robust, multivalent Ebola virus vaccine that would be effective in the event of a natural virus outbreak or biological threat.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Soldiers from the Republic of Korea and the United States conducting peacetime military operations at various training sites and multiple range complexes located near the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea are exposed to rodents and their potentially disease-carrying ectoparasites. These diseases include scrub typhus, murine typhus, and leptospirosis. Many of the training sites are rural or semi-rural, surrounded or co-located with various forms of agriculture, and are infested with rodents and insectivores (as well as their ectoparasites), which are commonly found in association with unmanaged tall grasses, scrub, and crawling vegetation habitats. For 5 years, rodents and insectivores were collected seasonally (spring, summer, fall, and winter) at firing points 10 and 60 near the demilitarized zone and serologically tested for the presence of scrub typhus, murine typhus, and leptospirosis antibodies. Of the nine species of small mammals collected, Apodemus agrarius, the common striped field mouse and known reservoir of scrub typhus, was the most frequently collected (90.6%). Only four of the nine species captured, A. agrarius (60.9%), Micromys minutus (100%), Mus musculus (55.6%), and Rattus norvegicus (46.7%), were positive for scrub typhus. Of all the small mammals captured, only A. agrarius was positive for murine typhus (0.3%) and leptospirosis (1.3%). Seasonal and annual prevalence rates based on weight and sex are presented.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Rural Development; Tropical Diseases N2 - Objective: Studies have shown a relationship between combat experiences and alcohol misuse in military personnel; it is not known if there are specific combat experiences that confer a greater risk. The current study examined the association of specific types of combat experiences with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Methods: 1120 U.S. soldiers who were members of brigade combat infantry teams were surveyed anonymously 3-4 months after returning from deployment to Iraq regarding their experiences in combat and their physical and mental health. Combat items were independently rated and placed into the following categories: (1) Fighting; (2) Killing; (3) Threat to oneself; (4) Death/injury of others; (5) Atrocities; and, (6) Positive experiences. Alcohol misuse was measured using a 2-item alcohol screen combined with alcohol-related behavioral items. Results: Of the soldiers sampled, 25% (N=275) screened positive for alcohol misuse 3-4 months post-deployment; 12% (N=125) screened positive and exhibited alcohol-related behavioral problems. Most combat exposure factors were significantly related to alcohol misuse individually. When factors were analyzed simultaneously, soldiers who had higher rates of exposure to the threat of death/injury were significantly more likely to screen positive for alcohol misuse; exposure to atrocities predicted misuse of alcohol with alcohol-related behavioral problems. Conclusions: High exposure to threatening situations and atrocities was associated with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Clinicians treating combat veterans should be aware of the potential association of alcohol misuse with specific types of experiences and closely follow those soldiers upon their return home.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 26 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a member of the family Poxviridae and genus Orthopoxvirus, causes a smallpox-like disease in humans. A previously described pan-Orthopoxvirus assay, based on a broad-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS), was evaluated for its ability to detect MPXV from spiked human and aerosol-infected cynomolgous macaque (Macaca fascicularis) samples. Detection of MPXV DNA from macaque tissue, blood, and spiked human blood by the PCR/ESI-MS pan-Orthopoxvirus assay was comparable, albeit at slightly higher levels, to the current gold standard method of real-time PCR with the pan-Orthopoxvirus assay and had a limit of detection of 200 plaque-forming units. Furthermore, the platform was able to distinguish MPXV and vaccinia viruses that were spiked into macaque blood samples at various concentrations. This platform provides a new tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of orthopoxviral loads during vaccine or antiviral studies, and can also provide rapid identification during natural outbreaks or bioterrorism attacks.

We report a single-step, real-time ricin activity assay that requires little or no sample preparation and employs direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry. The release of adenine from the inhomogeneous substrate herring sperm DNA by ricin was determined to be 53±2 pmol adenine per picomole of ricin per hour. This procedure can be readily adapted to any enzyme for which a reactant or product of low molecular weight (up to ~600) can be identified.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Public health concerns such as multi- and extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis, bioterrorism, pandemic influenza, and severe acute respiratory syndrome have intensified efforts to prevent transmission of infections that are completely or partially airborne using environmental controls. One such control, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), has received renewed interest after-decades of underutilization and neglect. With renewed interest, however, come renewed questions, especially regarding efficacy and safety. There is a long history of investigations concluding that, if used properly, UVGI can be safe and highly effective in disinfecting the air, thereby preventing transmission of a variety of airborne infections. Despite this long history, many infection control professionals are not familiar with the history of UVGI and how it has, and has not, been used safely and effectively. This article reviews that history of UVGI for air disinfection, starting with its biological basis, moving to its application in the real world, and ending with its current status.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Naturally occurring smallpox was eradicated as a result of successful vaccination campaigns during the 1960s and 1970s. Because of its highly contagious nature and high mortality rate, smallpox has significant potential as a biological weapon. Unfortunately, the current vaccine for orthopoxviruses is contraindicated for large portions of the population. Thus, there is a need for new, safe, and effective orthopoxvirus vaccines. Alphavirus replicon vectors, derived from strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, are being used to develop alternatives to the current smallpox vaccine. Here, we demonstrated that virus-like replicon particles (VRPs) expressing the vaccinia virus A33R, B5R, A27L, and L1R genes elicited protective immunity in mice comparable to vaccination with live-vaccinia virus. Furthermore, cynomolgus macaques vaccinated with a combination of the four poxvirus VRPs (4pox-VRP) developed antibody responses to each antigen. These antibody responses were able to neutralize and inhibit the spread of both vaccinia virus and monkeypox virus. Macaques vaccinated with 4pox-VRP, flu HA VRP (negative control), or live-vaccinia virus (positive control) were challenged intravenously with 5×106 pfu of monkeypox virus 1 month after the second VRP vaccination. Four of the six negative control animals succumbed to monkeypox and the remaining two animals demonstrated either severe or grave disease. Importantly, all 10 macaques vaccinated with the 4pox-VRP vaccine survived without developing severe disease. These findings revealed that a single-boost VRP smallpox vaccine shows promise as a safe alternative to the currently licensed live-vaccinia virus smallpox vaccine.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 24 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: The potential exists for laboratory personnel to be exposed to engineered carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) in studies aimed at producing conditions similar to those found in natural surface waters [e.g., presence of natural organic matter (NOM)]. Objective: The goal of this preliminary investigation was to assess the release of CNMs into the laboratory atmosphere during handling and sonication into environmentally relevant matrices. Methods: We measured fullerenes (C60), underivatized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (raw MWCNT), hydroxylated MWCNT (MWCNT-OH), and carbon black (CB) in air as the nanomaterials were weighed, transferred to beakers filled with reconstituted freshwater, and sonicated in deionized water and reconstituted freshwater with and without NOM. Airborne nanomaterials emitted during processing were quantified using two hand-held particle counters that measure total particle number concentration per volume of air within the nanometer range (10-1,000 nm) and six specific size ranges (300-10,000 nm). Particle size and morphology were determined by transmission electron microscopy of air sample filters. Discussion: After correcting for background particle number concentrations, it was evident that increases in airborne particle number concentrations occurred for each nanomaterial except CB during weighing, with airborne particle number concentrations inversely related to particle size. Sonicating nanomaterial-spiked water resulted in increased airborne nanomaterials, most notably for MWCNT-OH in water with NOM and for CB. Conclusion: Engineered nanomaterials can become airborne when mixed in solution by sonication, especially when nanomaterials are functionalized or in water containing NOM. This finding indicates that laboratory workers may be at increased risk of exposure to engineered nanomaterials.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Many years of untreated effluent discharge from residential areas, a shipyard, a marina, and a large fish market resulted in, substantial contamination of bottom sediment in Southern Busan Harbor, South Korea. Contaminants in these sediments include heavy metals and organic compounds. Newly introduced regulations for ocean disposal of dredged material in South Korea pose significant challenges, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material was no longer possible after August 2008. The South Korean government has mandated that such sediments be assessed in a way that identifies the most appropriate dredged material management alternative, addressing environmental, social, and cost objectives. An approach using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) in combination with comparative risk assessment was used as a systematic and transparent framework for prioritizing several dredged sediment management alternatives. We illustrate how MCDA can recognize the multiple goals of contaminated sediment management. Values used in weighting decision criteria were derived from surveys of stakeholders who were sediment management professionals, business owners, or government decision makers. The results of the analysis showed that land reclamation was the preferred alternative among cement-lock, sediment washing, 3 contained aquatic disposal alternatives (one in combination with a hopper dredge), geotextile tubes, solidification, and land reclamation after solidification treatment. Land reclamation was the preferred alternative, which performed well across all MCDA objectives, because of the availability of a near-shore confined disposal facility within a reasonable distance from the dredging area.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: This study examined whether assigning running shoes based on the shape of the bottom of the foot (plantar surface) influenced injury risk in Air Force Basic Military Training (BMT) and examined risk factors for injury in BMT. Methods: Data were collected from BMT recruits during 2007; analysis took place during 2008. After foot examinations, recruits were randomly consigned to either an experimental group (E, n=1042 men, 375 women) or a control group (C, n=913 men, 346 women). Experimental group recruits were assigned motion control, stability, or cushioned shoes for plantar shapes indicative of low, medium, or high arches, respectively. Control group recruits received a stability shoe regardless of plantar shape. Injuries during BMT were determined from outpatient visits provided from the Defense Medical Surveillance System. Other injury risk factors (fitness, smoking, physical activity, prior injury, menstrual history, and demographics) were obtained from a questionnaire, existing databases, or BMT units. Results: Multivariate Cox regression controlling for other risk factors showed little difference in injury risk between the groups among men (hazard ratio [E/C]=1.11, 95% CI=0.89-1.38) or women (hazard ratio [E/C]=1.20, 95% CI=0.90-1.60). Independent injury risk factors among both men and women included low aerobic fitness and cigarette smoking. Conclusions: This prospective study demonstrated that assigning running shoes based on the shape of the plantar surface had little influence on injury risk in BMT even after controlling for other injury risk factors.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Introduction: Military parachuting has been shown to result in injuries. This investigation systematically reviewed studies examining the influence of the parachute ankle brace (PAB) on injuries during military parachuting and performed a cost-effectiveness analysis. Evidence acquisition: Parachute ankle brace studies were obtained from seven databases, personal contacts, and other sources. Investigations were reviewed if they contained original, quantitative information on PAB use and injuries during parachuting. Meta-analysis was performed using a general variance-based meta-analysis method that calculated summary risk ratios (SRR) and 95% CIs. Evidence synthesis: Five studies met the review criteria. Compared with PAB users, PAB non-users had a higher risk of ankle injuries (SRR=2.1, 95% CI=1.8-2.5); ankle sprains (SRR=2.1, 95% CI=1.4-3.1); ankle fractures (SRR=1.8, 95% CI=1.1-2.9); and all parachuting injuries combined (SRR=1.2, 95% CI=1.1-1.4). The PAB had little effect on lower body injuries exclusive of the ankle (SRR [no PAB/PAB]=0.9, 95% CI=0.7-1.2). Cost-effectiveness analysis estimated that, for every dollar expended on the PAB, a savings of about $7 to $9 could be achieved in medical and personnel costs. Conclusions: The PAB reduces ankle injuries by about half and is a cost effective device that should be worn during military airborne operations to reduce injury risk.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: The Military Training Task Force of the Defense Safety Oversight Council chartered a Joint Services Physical Training Injury Prevention Working Group to: (1) establish the evidence base for making recommendations to prevent injuries; (2) prioritize the recommendations for prevention programs and policies; and (3) substantiate the need for further research and evaluation on interventions and programs likely to reduce physical training-related injuries. Evidence acquisition: A work group was formed to identify, evaluate, and assess the level of scientific evidence for various physical training-related injury prevention strategies through an expedited systematic review process. Of 40 physical training-related injury prevention strategies identified, education, leader support, and surveillance were determined to be essential elements of a successful injury prevention program and not independent interventions. As a result of the expedited systematic reviews, one more essential element (research) was added for a total of four. Six strategies were not reviewed. The remaining 31 interventions were categorized into three levels representing the strength of recommendation: (1) recommended; (2) not recommended; and (3) insufficient evidence to recommend or not recommend. Evidence synthesis: Education, leadership support, injury surveillance, and research were determined to be critical components of any successful injury prevention program. Six interventions (i.e., prevent overtraining, agility-like training, mouthguards, semirigid ankle braces, nutrient replacement, and synthetic socks) had strong enough evidence to become working group recommendations for implementation in the military services. Two interventions (i.e., back braces and pre-exercise administration of anti-inflammatory medication) were not recommended due to evidence of ineffectiveness or harm, 23 lacked sufficient scientific evidence to support recommendations for all military services at this time, and six were not evaluated. Conclusions: Six interventions should be implemented in all four military services immediately to reduce physical training-related injuries. Two strategies should be discouraged by all leaders at all levels. Of particular note, 23 popular physical training-related injury prevention strategies need further scientific investigation, review, and group consensus before they can be recommended to the military services or similar civilian populations. The expedited systematic process of evaluating interventions enabled the working group to build consensus around those injury prevention strategies that had enough scientific evidence to support a recommendation.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Introduction: Medical information systems during past military deployments had limited injury surveillance capability as data were not accessible during deployments and did not capture causes of injury. This paper describes nonbattle injury (NBI) results from an ongoing surveillance program that identifies injury occurrences and causes during deployments for Operations Iraqi Freedom (Iraq) and Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). Methods: U.S. Army soldiers medically air evacuated from Iraq (March 2003-December 2006) or Afghanistan (October 2001-December 2006) were identified from air evacuation records that provided demographics, casualty type, diagnosis, and patient history. For NBI cases, the patient history was used to identify and code injury cause, incident circumstances, and body region. Descriptive statistics were used to describe and compare NBIs evacuated from Iraq and Afghanistan. Results: In all, 27,563 soldiers in Iraq and 4165 in Afghanistan were air evacuated. NBIs accounted for 35% and 36% of cases, respectively, and were the largest single category of evacuations for both operations. Distributions for leading categories of NBI diagnosis (fracture, inflammation/pain, and dislocation) and body region (back, knee, and wrist/hand) were similar for both operations. Leading NBI causes were the same for both operations - sports/physical training (19%-21%), falls/jumps (18%), and motor vehicle-related incidents (12%-16%)-but the proportion of motor vehicle incidents was higher in Iraq (p<0.001). Conclusions: Routinely collected air evacuation records provided the basis for ongoing injury surveillance for Iraq and Afghanistan. NBI was the largest category of evacuations from both operations. Leading NBI causes were similar to those identified for previous deployments and many should be preventable.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a life-altering condition that has affected many of our soldiers returning from war. In the current conflicts, the improvised explosive device (IED) has greatly increased the potential for soldiers to sustain a TBI. This study's objective was to establish benchmark admission rates for U.S. Army soldiers with TBIs identified during deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Methods: The study population consisted of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan from September 11, 2001, through September 30, 2007. Population data were merged with admission data to identify hospitalizations during deployment. Using the international Barell Injury Diagnosis Matrix, TBI-related admissions were categorized into Type 1 (the most severe), Type 2, and Type 3 (the least severe). All analyses were performed in 2008. Results: Of the 2898 identified TBI inpatient episodes of care, 46% were Type 1, 54% were Type 2, and less than 1% were Type 3. Over 65% of Type 1 injuries resulted from explosions, while almost half of all TBIs were non-battle-related. Overall TBI admission rates were 24.6 for Afghanistan and 41.8 for Iraq per 10,000 soldier-years. TBI hospitalization rates rose over time for both campaigns, although U.S. Army soldiers in Iraq experienced 1.7 times higher rates overall and 2.2 times higher Type 1 admission rates than soldiers in Afghanistan. The TBI-related proportion of all injury hospitalizations showed an ascending trend. Conclusions: Future surveillance of TBI hospitalization rates is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation of preventive measures.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Introduction: Oral-maxillofacial injuries can lead to deformity and malfunction, greatly diminishing quality of life and worker productivity. Data suggest that over 10% of civilian emergency room visits are due to craniofacial injuries. The size and scope of oral-maxillofacial injuries in the military is not well understood. This study reports U.S. military rates of oral-maxillofacial injuries, causes of oral-maxillofacial hospitalizations, and recommends approaches to improving surveillance, research, and prevention. Methods: Active duty U.S. military personnel who sought inpatient or outpatient treatment for one or more oral-maxillofacial injuries from 1996 to 2005 were identified in the Defense Medical Surveillance System using ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes associated with oral-maxillofacial injuries. ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes were divided into two categories: oral-maxillofacial wounds and oral-maxillofacial fractures. Results: The oral-maxillofacial fracture rates for men were consistently 1.5 to 2 times higher than those for women, with 2000-2005 rates between 1.2 and 1.5/1000 person-years for men and between 0.7 and 1.0/1000 person-years for women. Wound rates for men were similar to those for women for all years examined (p<0.001), with 2000-2005 rates ranging from 11.0 to 14.6/1000 person-years for men and 12.2-14.8/1000 person-years for women. Compared to the over-40 age group, active duty personnel under age 25 had the highest rates of both oral-maxillofacial fractures and wounds (p<0.001). Among those injuries with a cause recorded, fighting (13.5%) was the leading cause of oral-maxillofacial injury hospitalizations in 2005. Conclusions: Oral-maxillofacial injuries can and should be monitored using military medical surveillance data. Surveillance efforts would be enhanced by the addition of dental care data. There is also a need for additional quality intervention studies on the strategies to prevent oral and craniofacial injury.

Number of References: 12 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Consistent with the public health approach to prevention, surveillance analyses are needed to fully understand a health problem. U.S. military eye injury rates have not been fully described using medical surveillance data. Methods: Medical visit data on active duty personnel, 1996-2005, and causes of eye injury hospitalizations (identified by Standard NATO Agreement injury cause codes) were obtained from the Defense Medical Surveillance System. Eye injury-related ICD-9-CM codes beyond the traditional 800-999 injury code set were included. Rates by age and gender are reported for 1996-2005, along with the frequency of causes of injury hospitalizations and leading eye injury diagnoses for 2005. Results: Eye injury rates among active duty military personnel increased from 1996 to 2005 among both men and women (p<0.001), with the highest rates in 2004 (26/1000 person-years and 21/1000 person-years, women and men, respectively). Women consistently had 7%-21% higher rates than men (rate ratios=1.07; 95% CI=1.04, 1.11) to 1.21 (95% CI=1.17, 1.25). From 1996-2005, eye injury rates increased among all age groups (p<0.001). From 2002-2005, rates were highest for those aged ≥40 years compared to those aged 17-19 years (rate ratios=1.17 [95% CI=1.11, 1.24] to 1.24 [95% CI=1.18, 1.31]). Leading causes of eye injury hospitalizations were ordnance handling (16.9%), enemy action (13.1%), and fighting (11.9%). Conclusions: Medical surveillance data enable the assessment and monitoring of overall active duty eye injury rates, trends, and causes. Outpatient data could be improved with the addition of cause of injury codes and eye protection use. Current data suggest that continued use of eye protection during ordnance handling, combat, motor vehicle use, and sports could help reduce eye injury rates.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Introduction: Rates of noise-induced hearing injury (NIHI) among U.S. active duty military have not been previously described using available military medical surveillance data. Methods: NIHI were identified in the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS) using a list of ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes selected in collaboration with military audiologists. To provide a more comprehensive view of the NIHI problem, NIHI-related ICD-9 codes beyond the traditional 388 noise injury-code set were included. Visit rates by gender and age group are reported by quarter, 2003-2005. Overall frequencies and rates by occupational specialty, 2003-2005, are also described. Results: From 2003 to 2005, rates for men were significantly higher than rates for women, with rate ratios (RR) ranging from 1.15 (95% CI=1.07, 1.23) to 1.78 (95% CI=1.62, 1.93). Rates among women ranged from 2.9 to 6.2 per 1000 person-years; rates among men ranged from 4.5 to 6.7 per 1000 person-years. NIHI rates were highest among those aged ≥40 years and lowest among those aged 17-19 years, with RRs ranging from 3.06 (95% CI=2.77, 3.40) to 5.51 (95% CI=4.88, 6.30) during this time period. Among occupational groups, general officers/executives had the highest NIHI rate over this time period (29.5/1000 person-years), followed by enlisted personnel in training (14.3/1000 person-years) and scientists and professionals (12.8/1000 person-years). Conclusions: While data on outpatient injury causes and use of hearing protection are also needed to guide the future design and/or modification of interventions, existing military medical surveillance provides essential information for tracking NIHI and monitoring NIHI intervention effects.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Leisure, Recreation, Tourism N2 - Introduction: Although injuries are recognized as a leading health problem in the military, the size of the problem is underestimated when only acute traumatic injuries are considered. Injury-related musculoskeletal conditions are common in this young, active population. Many of these involve physical damage caused by micro-trauma (overuse) in recreation, sports, training, and job performance. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the incidence of injury-related musculoskeletal conditions in the military services (2006) and describe a standardized format in which to categorize and report them. Methods: The subset of musculoskeletal diagnoses found to be injury-related in previous military investigations was identified. Musculoskeletal injuries among nondeployed, active duty service members in 2006 were identified from military medical surveillance data. A matrix was used to report and categorize these conditions by injury type and body region. Results: There were 743,547 injury-related musculoskeletal conditions in 2006 (outpatient and inpatient, combined), including primary and nonprimary diagnoses. In the matrix, 82% of injury-related musculoskeletal conditions were classified as inflammation/pain (overuse), followed by joint derangements (15%) and stress fractures (2%). The knee/lower leg (22%), lumbar spine (20%), and ankle/foot (13%) were leading body region categories. Conclusions: When assessing the magnitude of the injury problem in the military services, injury-related musculoskeletal conditions should be included. When these injuries are combined with acute traumatic injuries, there are almost 1.6 million injury-related medical encounters each year. The matrix provides a standardized format to categorize these injuries, make comparisons over time, and focus prevention efforts on leading injury types and/or body regions.

The purpose of this paper is to describe advances in military medical surveillance, compare the incidence of injuries with other illnesses, define the size and causes of the injury problem for the military, and make recommendations for improved surveillance and injury prevention. Methods: Medical and personnel data for nondeployed active duty personnel were obtained from the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center for 2000-2006. Rates of nonfatal injuries and injury-related musculoskeletal conditions, frequencies of injury types, and causes of injury hospitalizations are described. Results: Injuries were the leading cause of medical encounters among military personnel. The rate of hospitalization for injuries was approximately 1000 per 100,000 person-years and, for injuries treated in outpatient clinics, 999 per 1000 person-years. The leading injury type resulting in hospitalization was fractures (40%) and the leading injury type resulting in outpatient visits was sprains and strains (49%). Leading causes of hospitalization were falls/near falls (17.5%), motor vehicle mishaps (15.4%), and sports (13.1%). Conclusions: Injuries are the biggest health problem of the military services. Military medical surveillance data are useful for determining the magnitude and causes of the injury problem, identifying possible prevention targets, and monitoring of trends among military personnel.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: To sustain progress toward injury reduction and other health promotion goals, public health organizations need a systematic approach based on data and an evaluation of existing scientific evidence on prevention. This paper describes a process and criteria developed to systematically and objectively define prevention program and policy priorities. Methods: Military medical surveillance data were obtained and summarized, and a working group of epidemiology and injury experts was formed. After reviewing the available data, the working group used predefined criteria to score leading military unintentional injury causes on five main criteria that assessed factors contributing to program and policy success: (1) importance of the problem, (2) effectiveness of existing prevention strategies, (3) feasibility of establishing programs and policies, (4) timeliness of implementation and results, and (5) potential for evaluation. Injury problems were ranked by total median score. Results: Causes with the highest total median scores were physical training (34 points), military parachuting (32 points), privately-owned vehicle crashes (31 points), sports (29 points), falls (27 points), and military vehicle crashes (27 points). Conclusions: Using a data-driven, criteria-based process, three injury causes (physical training, military parachuting, and privately owned-vehicle crashes) with the greatest potential for successful program and policy implementation were identified. Such information is useful for public health practitioners and policymakers who must prioritize among health problems that are competing for limited resources. The process and criteria could be adapted to systematically assess and prioritize health issues affecting other communities.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The ultimate molecular action of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is a Zn-dependent endoproteolytic activity on one of the three SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins. There are seven serotypes (A-G) of BoNT having distinct cleavage sites on the SNARE substrates. The proteolytic activity is located on the N-terminal light chain (Lc) domain and is used extensively as the primary target toward therapeutic development against botulism. Here we describe an improved method using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) whereby quantitative data were obtained in 1/10th the time using 1/20th the sample and solvent volumes compared with a widely used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. We also synthesized a VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane protein)-based peptide containing an intact V1 motif that was efficiently used as a substrate by BoNT/D Lc. Although serotype C1 cleaves the serotype A substrate at a bond separated by only one residue, we were able to distinguish the two reactions by UPLC. The new method can accurately quantify as low as 7 pmol of the peptide substrates for BoNT serotypes A, B, C1, and D. We also report here that the catalytic efficiency of serotype A can be stimulated 35-fold by the addition of Triton X-100 to the reaction mixture. Combining the use of Triton X-100 with the newly introduced UPLC method, we were able to accurately detect very low levels of proteolytic activity in a very short time. Sensitivity of the assay and accuracy and rapidity of product analysis should greatly augment efforts in therapeutic development.

JO - ASHRAE Transactions JF - ASHRAE Transactions Y1 - 2007/10// VL - 113 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 61 SN - 00012505 AB - Numerous fault detection and diagnostic system techniques have been developed for HVAC systems, but most focus on detecting faults at the component level, for example, air-handling units or variable air volume boxes. This paper examines the use of the ASHRAE simplified energy analysis procedure (SEAP) for fault detection at the whole-building level. In the procedure examined, an implementation of the SEAP is "calibrated" to a period of measured heating and cooling data from a building so the simulated data closely follow the measured data. A small adjustment is added to the simulated data so the total adjusted simulated heating and cooling consumption values exactly match the measured heating and cooling consumption totals for the same period. The adjusted version of the calibrated SEAP simulation is then used to predict future consumption, using future weather data. Visual comparison with future measured data is used to diagnose significant deviations from expected performance. The procedure is applied retrospectively to three years of measured consumption data as a test. It clearly identifies three significant operational changes that occurred during the test period. Three different presentation formats are tested for fault identification—monthly deviations, daily percent deviations, and cumulative deviation plots. All have value, and it is ultimately a user preference as to which is the most informative.

A model’s predictive power, i.e., its accurate representation of the sound propagation, cannot be assessed without first quantifying the ensemble sound pressure variability and sensitivity to uncertainties in the model’s governing parameters. This paper describes fundamental steps toward this goal for a single-frequency point source. The atmospheric surface layer is represented through Monin-Obukhov similarity theory and the acoustic ground properties with a relaxation model. Sound propagation is predicted with the parabolic equation method. Governing parameters are modeled as independent random variables across physically reasonable ranges. Latin hypercube sampling and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) are employed in conjunction with cluster-weighted models to develop compact representations of the sound pressure random field. Full-field sensitivity of the sound pressure field is computed via the sensitivities of the POD mode coefficients to the system parameters. Ensemble statistics of the full-field sensitivities are computed to illustrate their relative importance at every down range location. The central role of sensitivity analysis in uncertainty quantification of outdoor sound propagation is discussed and pitfalls of sampling-based sensitivity analysis for outdoor sound propagation are described.

In a recently published paper [S. Vecherin et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 119, 2579 (2006)], a time-dependent stochastic inversion (TDSI) was developed for the reconstruction of these fields from travel times of sound propagation between sources and receivers in a tomography array. TDSI accounts for the correlation of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations both in space and time and therefore yields more accurate reconstruction of these fields in comparison with algebraic techniques and regular stochastic inversion. To use TDSI, one needs to estimate spatial-temporal covariance functions of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations. In this paper, these spatial-temporal covariance functions are derived for locally frozen turbulence which is a more general concept than a widely used hypothesis of frozen turbulence. The developed theory is applied to reconstruction of temperature and wind velocity fields in the acoustic tomography experiment carried out by University of Leipzig, Germany. The reconstructed temperature and velocity fields are presented and errors in reconstruction of these fields are studied.

In this paper, approaches are described that improve computational efficiency and enforce causality. One approach involves approximating the known TDBC for the modified Zwikker-Kosten impedance model as a summation of decaying exponential functions. A second approach, which can be applied to any impedance model, involves replacing the characteristic admittance with its Padé approximation. Then, approximating fractional derivatives with decaying exponentials, a causal and recursive TDBC is formulated [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Each of these effects is such a strong contributor to the attenuation of sound that mutual interactions between the phenomena could become important. A sound propagation model for use in a forest has been developed that incorporates scattering from trunks and branches and atmospheric refraction by modifying the effective wave number in the Green’s function parabolic equation model. The ground effect for a hard-backed pine straw layer is approximated as a local reaction impedance condition. Comparisons to experimental data are made for frequencies up to 4 200 Hz. Cumulative influences of the separate phenomena are examined. The method developed in this paper is compared to previously published methods. The overall comparison with spectral transmission data is good, suggesting that the model captures the necessary details.

Infrasonic data from 2003 associated with explosions at the iron mine were analyzed for effects of explosion size and atmospheric conditions on observations with well-constrained ground truth. Noise was the determining factor for observation; high noise conditions sometimes prevented unequivocal identification of infrasound arrivals. Observed arrivals had frequencies of 0.5 to 5 Hz, with a dominant frequency of 2 Hz, and generally had durations on the order of 10 s or less. There was no correlation between explosive amount and observability. Tele-infrasonic propagation distances (greater than 250 km) produce thermospheric ray paths. Modeling is based upon MSIS/HWM (Mass Spectrometer Incoherent Scatter/Horizontal Wind Model) and NRL-G2S (Naval Research Laboratory Ground to Space) datasets. The NRL-G2S dataset provided more accurate travel time predictions that the MSIS/HWM dataset. PE modeling for the NRL-G2S dataset indicates energy loss at higher frequencies (around 4 Hz). Additionally, applying the Sutherland/Bass model through the NRL-G2S realization of the atmosphere in InfraMAP results in predicted amplitudes too small to be observed.

In Experiment 1, we gauged musicians' and nonmusicians' learning efficiency for meaningful and less meaningful melodies as well as sentences when presented visually or auditorily. In Experiment 2, we tested the effects of the same variables on memory. Presentation modality did not make a difference, but learning-style preference did. Visual learners learned visually presented items faster and remembered them better than auditorily presented ones, and auditory learners did the reverse. Also, as expected, meaningful sentences were learned faster and remembered better than less meaningful ones. However, although musicians also learned meaningful melodies faster and remembered them better than less meaningful melodies, this was not the case for nonmusicians.

Measurements were made with a wide-bandwidth capacitor microphone for comparison with conventional 3.175-mm (1/8-in.) microphones with and without baffles. It was found that the 3.175-mm microphone did not have sufficient high-frequency response to capture the actual rise times in some regions. For a source of 0.57 kg (1.25 lb) of C-4 plastic explosive, the trend observed is that nonlinear effects steepened the waveform, thereby decreasing the shock rise time, up to a range of 50 m. At 100 m, the rise times had increased slightly.

Two half-space Green’s functions are employed in the formulation. The first one defined for the upper half space is used to reduce the problem size and eliminate the edge effect resulting from the boundary truncation; the other one for the lower half space is to simplify the representation of the Neumann-Dirichlet map. As a result, the unknowns are only distributed over the corrugated part of the surface, which leads to substantial reduction in the size of the final linear system. The computational complexity of the Neumann-Dirichlet map is also reduced. The method is used to analyze the behavior of sound propagation above textured surfaces the impedance of which is expectedly altered. The effects of number and opening of trench cuttings, and the effect of source height are investigated. The conclusions drawn can be used for reference in a practical problem of mitigating gun blast noise.

The discussion was purposefully narrow in its scope, but other literature should be considered to properly frame the larger question of cohesion's function in military settings. Specifically, current and future discussions should acknowledge: (1) the primary function of cohesion as revealed in historical and observational accounts of soldiers in combat; (2) emergent similarities between social support and cohesion, which support the notion that cohesion acts as a moderator rather than a main effect of performance; and (3) findings from a recent meta-analysis that contradict those of Mullen and Cooper. Viewing cohesion's relation to performance as indirect rather than direct has very different and important implications for research, applications, and expected effects of cohesion on group performance.

It is often referred to in intellectual shorthand as the primacy of policy. This article questions the extent to which emphasis on the primacy of policy has been overstressed, influenced perhaps by the strategic context of the Cold War. Clausewitz's trinitarian concept of war—hostility, chance, political purpose—which appears in what scholars generally agree is On War's only finished chapter, does not portray policy as more dominant than the other tendencies; instead, it presents them as equals, stressing only each one's uniqueness in relation to the others. Reinterpreting policy as equal to the other two aspects of the trinity tends to strengthen the relevance of Clausewitz's overall theory to contemporary wars.

The author claims that the condition described is necessary but not sufficient and is analogous to a regular assignment problem having zeros in every row and column but still without a zero-cost allocation. Using Bharat's examples, the author shows how, in the modified method, lines are drawn again such that the total of the supplies and demands lined out are strictly less than the total supply or demand.

Sasieni questioned the classical PERT formula for finding the average time, for which the equation is given. The author shows how the equation is used in finding the average time to complete a given task. Furthermore, the assumption made by the creators of the equations are analyzed in evaluating the reliability of the equaltion.

Propionycholine was found in the leaves of the following species previously shown to contain acetylcholine and chlinesterase acitvity. Codiaeum variegatum Blume, Phaseolus aueus Roxb. cv. Berken, Plantago regelli Decne., Populus grandidentata Michx, and Betula pendula Roth. The quantities of propionylcholine ranged from a high of 2.3 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in C. variegatum to a low of 0.11 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in P. Rugelli. These amounts represented 6 to 8% of the levels of acetylcholine. In contrast to animals tissues which rarely synthesize propionylcholine, this compound was found in all species examined which represented five families of flowering plants.

Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

The current strategy for treating hemorrhagic shock is based on early use of components: Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and platelets in a 1:1:1 ratio. We suggest that lack of components to mimic whole blood functionality favors the use of Fresh Whole Blood in managing hemorrhagic shock on the battlefield. We present a safe and practical approach for its use at the point of injury in the combat environment called Tactical Damage Control Resuscitation. We describe pre-deployment preparation, assessment of hemorrhagic shock, and collection and transfusion of fresh whole blood at the point of injury. By approaching shock with goal-directed therapy, it is possible to extend the period of survivability in combat casualties.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Laser refractive surgery, involving the computer-controlled application of a 193-nm beam of excimer laser 'light,' is utilized to resculpt the central cornea, thus reducing its apical thickness. On casual inspection, this simple matter of removing or excising a specific amount of central corneal avascular tissue is a smooth, seamless alteration with few apparent secondary issues or sequelae. Normal postoperative recovery is typically gauged by the recovery of high-contrast visual acuity to the same (or better) degree as was previously obtained with a spectacle correction. However, although this is an acceptable means of determining operative success, it is not indicative of the complex challenges imposed upon the neurosensory system. The secondarily imposed strain upon the visual system, regarding the return to its pre-existing visual line-of-sight organization occurs only by bringing multiple adaptations into subtle and seamless play. This process is initiated and completed in a relatively short time period, such that most patients (but not all) are not even marginally aware of the challenges imposed to the visual system.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - The Joint Combat Casualty Research Team (JC2RT) is part of the human research protection regulatory system implemented in 2005 to oversee the conduct of research in a deployed military combatant command. In 2010, SharePoint, a web-based tool, was established to track study documents. This study conducted by JC2RT no. 13 describes characteristics of research studies under the purview of the JC2RT from 2010 through 2012. Of the 83 research studies reviewed, 34% were completed, 32% were not completed, and 34% were still in progress. Target sample sizes ranged from 12 to 70,000, with 96% of the research studying U.S. military members. The design of 61% of the studies was prospective, 20% surveys, and 14% retrospective reviews. Approximately one-half of the studies were conducted at single sites. Eighty-four percent of the studies that finished an institutional review board (IRB) were completed, whereas a large number of studies never made it to IRB approval. Even after studies have gone through the rigorous process of scientific review and IRB approval some continue to struggle for years to be completed in the theater of operations. The JC2RT is committed to helping facilitate the ethical conduct of research during war.

AB - Measuring neuronal activity with electrophysiological methods may be useful in detecting neurological dysfunctions, such as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).This approach may be particularly valuable for rapid detection in at-risk populations including military service members and athletes. Electrophysiological methods, such as quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and recording event-related potentials (ERPs) may be promising; however, the field is nascent and significant controversy exists on the efficacy and accuracy of the approaches as diagnostic tools. For example, the specific measures derived from an electroencephalogram (EEG) that are most suitable as markers of dysfunction have not been clearly established. A study was conducted to summarize and evaluate the statistical rigor of evidence on the overall utility of qEEG as an mTBI detection tool. The analysis evaluated qEEG measures/parameters that may be most suitable as fieldable diagnostic tools, identified other types of EEG measures and analysis methods of promise, recommended specific measures and analysis methods for further development as mTBI detection tools, identified research gaps in the field, and recommended future research and development thrust areas. The qEEG study group formed the following conclusions: (1) Individual qEEG measures provide limited diagnostic utility for mTBI. However, many measures can be important features of qEEG discriminant functions, which do show significant promise as mTBI detection tools. (2) ERPs offer utility in mTBI detection. In fact, evidence indicates that ERPs can identify abnormalities in cases where EEGs alone are non-disclosing. (3)The standard mathematical procedures used in the characterization of mTBI EEGs should be expanded to incorporate newer methods of analysis including non-linear dynamical analysis, complexity measures, analysis of causal interactions, graph theory, and information dynamics. (4) Reports of high specificity in qEEG evaluations of TBI must be interpreted with care. High specificities have been reported in carefully constructed clinical studies in which healthy controls were compared against a carefully selected TBI population. The published literature indicates, however, that similar abnormalities in qEEG measures are observed in other neuropsychiatric disorders. While it may be possible to distinguish a clinical patient from a healthy control participant with this technology, these measures are unlikely to discriminate between, for example, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or TBI. The specificities observed in these clinical studies may well be lost in real world clinical practice. (5)The absence of specificity does not preclude clinical utility.The possibility of use as a longitudinal measure of treatment response remains. However, efficacy as a longitudinal clinical measure does require acceptable test–retest reliability. To date, very few test–retest reliability studies have been published with qEEG data obtained from TBI patients or from healthy controls. This is a particular concern because high variability is a known characteristic of the injured central nervous system.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - The military lifestyle can create formidable challenges for military families. This article describes the Military Family Fitness Model (MFFM), a comprehensive model aimed at enhancing family fitness and resilience across the life span. This model is intended for use by Service members, their families, leaders, and health care providers but also has broader applications for all families. The MFFM has three core components: (1) family demands, (2) resources (including individual resources, family resources, and external resources), and (3) family outcomes (including related metrics). The MFFM proposes that resources from the individual, family, and external areas promote fitness, bolster resilience, and foster well-being for the family. The MFFM highlights each resource level for the purpose of improving family fitness and resilience over time. The MFFM both builds on existing family strengths and encourages the development of new family strengths through resource-acquiring behaviors. The purpose of this article is to (1) expand the military’s Total Force Fitness (TFF) intent as it relates to families and (2) offer a family fitness model. This article will summarize relevant evidence, provide supportive theory, describe the model, and proffer metrics that support the dimensions of this model.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - This retrospective study examined spinal-related hospitalizations of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. Spinal cord injuries (SCI) and vertebral column injuries (VCI) were identified using International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. In our study, spinal hospitalizations represented 8.2% of total injury admissions. Risk factors for SCI and VCI incidences were determined using Poisson regression. Lack of previous deployment experience increased risk of having SCI by 33% and VCI by 24% in Iraq (similar increases, but not statistically significant in Afghanistan). Male soldiers had 4.85 times higher risk for SCI in Iraq and 69% higher risk in Afghanistan than female soldiers. In Afghanistan, almost 60% of spinal episodes included traumatic brain injury (TBI), compared to about 40% in Iraq. In both theaters, mild TBI accounted for more than 50% of all TBI-spinal episodes. Sixteen percent of SCI inpatient episodes in Afghanistan and 13% in Iraq were associated with paralysis, with median bed days of 46 and 33 days compared to a median of 6 days in both theaters for nonparalysis spinal injuries. The mortality rate was 2.5 times lower in Afghanistan than in Iraq.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Background: Home exercise programs (HEP) are an integral part of any physical therapy treatment plan, but are especially important in theater. The primary aim of this study was to determine if the number of exercises prescribed in a HEP was associated with compliance rate of Service Members (SM) in theater with a secondary aim of determining variables associated with compliance and noncompliance. Materials/Methods: Subjects were 155 deployed SM undergoing physical therapy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinical evaluation and prescription of a HEP were performed. Pathologic, demographic, and treatment data were obtained. Subjects returned to the clinic 1 week later to demonstrate their HEP. Subjects’ performance of each prescribed exercise was rated on a 12-point scale to quantify compliance. Results: 2 variables were found to be significantly associated with rate of compliance. These were the number of exercises prescribed (p = 0.02) and if a subject left the base at least once per week (p = 0.01). Conclusions: SM prescribed 4 or more exercises had a lower rate of compliance than those prescribed 2 or fewer. SM who left the base at least once per week also had a lower rate of compliance.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Objectives: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading injury coming out of the past decades’ two major military conflicts, with mild TBI (mTBI) being the most commonly diagnosed form. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and types of visual field (VF) defects seen at different testing stages following nonblast and blast-induced mTBI. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective review was performed on 500 electronic health records for military personnel sustaining an mTBI during deployment, of which 166 patients were tested with both confrontation VF and 30-2 Humphrey Matrix Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimetry. Results: Scatter defects (48%) were the most predominantly found deficits in both blast and nonblast mTBI injury mechanisms and over postinjury test time frames. Confrontation VF was shown to be a poor qualitative predictor of VF defect. A profound decrease in VF sensitivity was noted in comparison to previously reported FDT normative data. Finally, a significant trend of decreasing VF defects was seen over time, indicating the potential usage of FDT as a visual biomarker for monitoring mTBI recovery. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the importance of performing threshold perimeter testing in those who have suffered an mTBI or concussion-like event.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) are the most common cause of ambulatory visits in the deployed setting. Research done on deployed populations have focused mostly on men. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to describe physical demands and MSIs among male and female soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team during a 12-month deployment to Afghanistan. Data on occupational tasks and injuries were collected from the infantry and brigade support battalions. Out of 57 women, 22 had MSIs (39%) and for the 536 men, 120 (22%) had MSIs resulting in limited duty. The average limited duty was 7.5 and 13 days/injury for women and men, respectively. The most commonly injured body region for the men was the low back (32%) and the low back (22%) and foot and ankle (22%) for women. The activity associated with MSI for women was physical training (25%) and for men it was contact with the enemy (23%). Physically demanding duties, more distance walked, and heavier average load and objects lifted all increased the risk of injury in women. Only lifting heavier weights increased the risk in men. The women appear to have less tolerance to physically demanding work such than their male counterparts.

AB - In this chapter, we focus on understanding how environmental conditions and physical stressors can contribute to reduced human–system performance and on the importance of considering these conditions during the design, development, and experimentation processes. It focuses on the direct effects of environmental and physical conditions on the human response in general. For example, we examine the direct effects of cold and heat on performance rather than the mediating physiological and psychological stress responses, such as adaptation to temperature. Other chapters in this handbook touch on these mediating stress responses (e.g., for information on strength, endurance, and movement, see Chapter 10). We provide examples of important environmental conditions and contexts (i.e., temperature and humidity, visibility, noise, altitude, atmosphere, inside vehicles, underwater, indoor and outdoor environments) and physical stressors (i.e., clothing and equipment worn or carried and task and work design to minimize physiological stress) that are central to system performance and therefore must be considered during system design and evaluation.

Using maternal obesity status as an instrument, they found strong evidence that overweight females between the ages of 12 and 21 were more likely to initiate smoking. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we reexamine the relationship between body weight and smoking initiation. Our results are generally consistent with those of Cawley, Markowitz and Tauras.

Enabling systems are migrating to process- and service-oriented solutions. In particular, the paper demonstrates how the new technologies can be used to enable a critical process that links vehicle health maintenance to PLM. Our hypothesis is that Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) and PLM integration is achievable through composite application design. The key process for linking CBM to PLM must convert prognostic and diagnostic information into actionable information that can be directed into a project-level PLM environment that supports the end-to-end product improvement process. To test this hypothesis, we designed a composite application within the context of a Small Business Innovative Research project that is sponsored by the US government. This paper motivates the problem from the strategic level to the implementation level and describes the successful test of the hypothesis.

In order to better understand typical detection scenarios for a laser illumination system and to improve target detection performance, intensity probability density functions of retroreflected near-infrared laser light were experimentally measured over a near-ground line-of-sight optical path. Returns from a corner cube and a simple lens-mirror system were recorded under a variety of atmospheric conditions, as measured by changes in the refractive-index structure parameter [image omitted]. In addition to its applicability to target detection, this work is relevant to atmospheric propagation research and to free-space laser communication studies.

Spirituality is defined in the human sense as the journey people take to discover and realize their essential selves and higher order aspirations. Several theoretically and empirically based reasons are articulated for why spirituality is a necessary component of the CSF program: Human spirituality is a significant motivating force, spirituality is a vital resource for human development, and spirituality is a source of struggle that can lead to growth or decline, A conceptual model developed by Sweeney, Hannah, and Snider (2007) is used to identify several psychological structures and processes that facilitate the development of the human spirit. From this model, an educational, computer-based program has been developed to promote spiritual resilience. This program consists of three tiers.' (a) building awareness of the self and the human spirit, (b) building awareness of resources to cultivate the human spirit, and (c) building awareness of the human spirit of others. Further research will be needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative and potentially important program.

The U.S. Army Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program aims to measure the psychosocial strengths and assets of soldiers as well as their problems, to identify those in need of basic training in a given domain as well as those who would benefit from advanced training, and then to provide that training. The goals of the CSF program include the promotion of well-being as well as the prevention of problems. Assessment is the linchpin of the CSF program, and the Global Assessment Tool (GAT) is a self-report survey that measures psychosocial fitness in emotional, social, family, and spiritual domains. We review the history of psychological assessment in the military and the lessons taught by this history. Then we describe the process by which the GAT was developed and evaluated. We conclude with a discussion of pending next steps in the development and use of the GAT.

Based on the principies of positive psychology, CSF is a historically unique approach to behavioral health in a large (1.1 million members) organization. There are four program elements: (a) the assessment of emotional, social, family, and spiritual fitness; (b) individualized learning modules to improve fitness in these domains; (C) formal resilience training; and (d) training of Army master resilience trainers (MRTs) to instill better thinking skills and resilience in their subordinates. In contrast to traditional approaches, CSF is proactive; rather than waiting to see who has a negative outcome following stress, it provides ways of improving resilience for all members of the Army. CSF aims to move the full spectrum of responses to trauma and adversity-ranging from stress-related disorders to ordinary resilience-toward personal growth. This program may provide a model for implementing similar interventions in other very large institutions.

JO - Technometrics JF - Technometrics Y1 - 2010/11// VL - 52 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 379 EP - 389 SN - 00401706 AB - In this article we present new methodology for analyzing reliability growth of discrete-use systems (i.e., systems whose test duration is measured in terms of discrete trials, shots, or demands). The methodology is applicable to the case where corrective actions are applied to prototypes anytime after associated failure modes are first discovered. Thus, the system configuration need not be constant. The methodology consists of several model equations for estimating: system reliability; the expected number of failure modes observed during testing; the probability of failure due to a new failure mode, and the portion of system unreliability associated with repeat, or known, failure modes. These model equations are used to: (1) estimate the initial and projected reliability as well as the reliability growth potential; (2) address model goodness-of-fit concerns; (3) quantify programmatic risk; and (4) assess reliability maturity of discrete-use systems undergoing development. Statistical procedures for point estimation, confidence interval construction, and goodness-of-fit testing are also given. In particular, a new likelihood function (and associated maximum likelihood procedure) is derived to estimate model parameters, that is, the shape parameters of the beta distribution. An application to a missile program is given to illustrate the utility of the presented approach. Supplemental materials for this article are available on the Technometrics website.

The semi-closed Brayton cycle is called the High Pressure Regenerative Turbine Engine (HPRTE). The VARS interacts with the HPRTE power cycle through heat exchange in the generator and the evaporator. Waste heat from the recirculated combustion gas of the HPRTE is used to power the absorption refrigeration unit, which cools the high-pressure compressor inlet of the HPRTE to below ambient conditions and also produces excess refrigeration in an amount which depends on ambient conditions. Water produced as a product of combustion is intentionally condensed in the evaporator of the VARS, which is designed to provide sufficient cooling for the inlet air to the high-pressure compressor, water extraction, and for an external cooling load. The computer model of the combined HPRTE/VARS cycle predicts that with steam blade cooling and a medium-sized engine, the cycle will have a thermal efficiency of 49% for a turbine inlet temperature of 1400°C. This thermal efficiency is in addition to the large external cooling load generated in the combined cycle which is 13% of the net work output. In addition it also produces up to 1.4kg of water for each kg of fuel consumed, depending upon the fuel type. When the combined HPRTE/VARS cycle is optimized for maximum thermal efficiency, the optimum occurs for a broad range of operating conditions. Details of the multivariate optimization procedure and results are presented in the paper. Previous studies have demonstrated the following attributes of the combined HPRTE/VARS cycle: attaining high part power efficiency in a compact package, threefold specific power increase over the state of the art, reduced IR signatures due to lower exhaust temperature, significant reduction of exhaust particulates and smoke, constant high-pressure compressor inlet temperature and order-of-magnitude reductions in emissions such as NO x , CO and unburned hydrocarbons. The integrated nature of this system allows overall reduction in size and weight of approximately 50% relative to conventional equipment. The combination of positive attributes makes the HPRTE combined cycle engine attractive for future mobile power applications in terms of performance as well as life cycle cost.

JO - Memory & Cognition JF - Memory & Cognition Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 700 EP - 712 SN - 0090502X AB - Navigators use both external cues and internal heuristics to help them plan efficient routes through environments. In six experiments, we discover and seek the origin of a novel heuristic that causes participants to preferentially choose southern rather than northern routes during map-based route planning. Experiment 1 demonstrates that participants who are tasked to choose between two equal-length routes, one going generally north and one south, show reliable decision preferences toward the southern option. Experiment 2 demonstrates that participants produce a southern preference only when instructed to adopt egocentric rather than allocentric perspectives during route planning. In Experiments 3-5, we examined participants' judgments of route characteristics and found that judgments of route length and preferences for upper relative to lower path options do not contribute to the southern route preference. Rather, the southern route preference appears to be a result of misperceptions of increased elevation to the north (i.e., north is up). Experiment 6 further supports this finding by demonstrating that participants provide greater time estimates for north- than for equivalent south-going routes when planning travel between U.S. cities. Results are discussed with regard to predicting wayfinding behavior, the mental simulation of action, and theories of spatial cognition and navigation.

While several studies have shown that students who participate in athletic activities perform better in school than those who do not, it is not clear whether this association is a result of positive academic spillovers, or due to the influence of unobservables. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and a variety of statistical techniques designed to distinguish between these hypotheses, we examine the effect of sports participation on several measures of academic performance. Our results provide only limited evidence that sports participation leads to enhanced academic performance.

Results of this method are compared with traditional maximum likelihood estimation for complete and right-censored samples in a life test. Further, while the concept can be applied to most types of censored data sets, results are presented in the case of order statistic interval censoring, in which even a few order statistics estimate well, compared to estimates from complete and right-censored samples. Distributions investigated include the exponential, Rayleigh, and normal distributions. Computation methods using A Probability Programming Language running in Maple are more straightforward than existing methods using various numerical method algorithms.

First, we argue that research that limits theory is underrepresented in the organizational sciences, erring overwhelmingly on the side of confirmatory null hypothesis testing. Second, we propose criteria for determining comparability, deciding when it is appropriate to test theories or parts of theories against one another. Third, we suggest hypotheses or questions for testing competing theories. Finally, we revisit the spirit of ''strong inference.'' We present reductionist strategies appropriate for the organizational sciences, which extend beyond traditional approaches of ''critical'' comparisons between whole theories. We conclude with a discussion of strong inference in organizational science and how theory pruning can help in that pursuit.

To begin, we develop and validate a measure of an individual's implicit assumption regarding the inherent morality of business. Then, using an in-basket exercise, we demonstrate that an implicit assumption that business is inherently moral impacts day-to-day business decisions and interacts with contextual cues to shape moral behavior. Ultimately, we offer evidence supporting a characterization of employees as reflexive interactionists: moral agents whose automatic decision-making processes interact with the environment to shape their moral behavior.

This article closely examines the arms control and Iranian issues as well as the broader issue of Russo-American rivalry over Eurasian security, perhaps the core issue in the relationship and certainly the most contentious one there. The analysis suggests that there are numerous problems with the treaty that go beyond the issue of whether or not it allows the U.S. to build missile defenses. It also suggests that there are unproven and even unjustified assumptions about Russian policy regarding Iran and regional security that reduce the real value and prospective gains of this policy for the U.S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Comparative Strategy is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In this article, the authors present a proposed framework for conducting such evaluations through integrating developmental testing, operational testing, and operational performance data into the evaluations. A recent example of the evaluation of a suite of aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems is also discussed, relating the aerial ISR evaluation to the proposed framework.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Federal Information Risk Management Framework (RMF) and the associated suite of guidance documents describe the minimum security requirements (controls) for non-national-security federal information systems mandated by the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), enacted into law on December 17, 2002, as Title III of the E-Government Act of 2002. The subjective compliance assessment approach described in the RMF guidance, though thorough and repeatable, lacks the clarity of a standard quantitative metric to describe for an information system the level of compliance with the FISMA-required standard. Given subjective RMF assessment data, this article suggests the use of Pathfinder networks to generate a quantitative metric suitable to measure, manage, and track the status of information system compliance with FISMA.

Planning for such infrastructure has until recently involved efforts to minimize impacts on the environment through a standardized environmental assessment process. More recently, consistent with environmental sustainability concepts, planners have begun to consider how such projects can also be constructed with environmental enhancements. This study examined the existing institutional conditions within the US Army Corps of Engineers and cooperating federal agencies relative to incorporating environmental enhancements into navigation infrastructure projects. The study sought to (1) investigate institutional attitudes towards the environmental enhancement of navigation infrastructure (EENI) concept, (2) identify potential impediments to implementation and solutions to such impediments, (3) identify existing navigation projects designed with the express intent of enhancing environmental benefit in addition to the primary project purpose, (4) identify innovative ideas for increasing environmental benefits for navigation projects, (5) identify needs for additional technical information or research, and (6) identify laws, regulations, and policies that both support and hinder such design features. The principal investigation tool was an Internet-based survey with 53 questions. The survey captured a wide range of perspectives on the EENI concept including ideas, concerns, research needs, and relevant laws and policies. Study recommendations included further promotion of the concept of EENI to planners and designers, documentation of existing projects, initiation of pilot studies on some of the innovative ideas provided through the survey, and development of national goals and interagency agreements to facilitate implementation.

AB - Objective: The rapid growth and evolution of health-related technology capabilities are driving an established presence in the marketplace and are opening up tremendous potential to minimize and/or mitigate barriers associated with achieving optimal health, performance, and readiness. This article summarizes technology-based strategies that promote healthy habits related to physical activity, nutrition, and sleep. Materials and Methods: The Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center convened a workshop titled 'Leveraging Technology: Creating & Sustaining Changes for Health' (May 29–30, 2013, Fort Detrick, MD). Participants included experts from academia (n = 3), government (n = 33), and industry (n = 16). A modified Delphi method was used to establish expert consensus in six topic areas: (1) physical activity, (2) nutrition, (3) sleep, (4) incentives for behavior change, (5) usability/interoperability, and (6) mobile health/open platform. Results: Overall, 162 technology features, constructs, and best practices were reviewed and prioritized for physical activity monitors (n = 29), nutrition monitors (n = 35), sleep monitors (n = 24), incentives for change (n = 36), usability and interoperability (n = 25), and open data (n = 13). Conclusions: Leading practices, gaps, and research needs for technology-based strategies were identified and prioritized. This information can be used to provide a research and development road map for (1) leveraging technology to minimize barriers to enhancing health and (2) facilitating evidence-based techniques to create and sustain healthy behaviors.

AB - Objective: The impact of a decision support tool designed to embed contextual mission factors was investigated. Contextual information may enable operators to infer the appropriateness of data underlying the automation’s algorithm. Background: Research has shown the costs of imperfect automation are more detrimental than perfectly reliable automation when operators are provided with decision support tools. Operators may trust and rely on the automation more appropriately if they understand the automation’s algorithm. The need to develop decision support tools that are understandable to the operator provides the rationale for the current experiment. Method: A total of 17 participants performed a simulated rapid retasking of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets task with manual, decision automation, or contextual decision automation differing in two levels of task demand: low or high. Automation reliability was set at 80%, resulting in participants experiencing a mixture of reliable and automation failure trials. Dependent variables included ISR coverage and response time of replanning routes. Results: Reliable automation significantly improved ISR coverage when compared with manual performance. Although performance suffered under imperfect automation, contextual decision automation helped to reduce some of the decrements in performance. Conclusion: Contextual information helps overcome the costs of imperfect decision automation. Application: Designers may mitigate some of the performance decrements experienced with imperfect automation by providing operators with interfaces that display contextual information, that is, the state of factors that affect the reliability of the automation’s recommendation.

Diet interventions that maximize eating behavior self-efficacy may therefore improve weight loss outcomes. However, data on the effect of diet composition on eating behavior self-efficacy are sparse. To determine the effects of dietary glycemic load (GL) on eating behavior self-efficacy during weight loss, body weight and eating behavior self-efficacy were measured every six months in overweight adults participating in a 12-mo randomized trial testing energy-restricted diets differing in GL. All food was provided during the first six months and self-selected thereafter. Total mean weight loss did not differ between groups, and GL-level had no significant effect on eating behavior self-efficacy. In the combined cohort, individuals losing the most weight reported improvements in eating behavior self-efficacy, whereas those achieving less weight loss reported decrements in eating behavior self-efficacy. Decrements in eating behavior self-efficacy were associated with subsequent weight regain when diets were self-selected. While GL does not appear to influence eating behavior self-efficacy, lesser amounts of weight loss on provided-food energy restricted diets may deter successful maintenance of weight loss by attenuating improvements in eating behavior self-efficacy.

AB - Evidence exists that damage to white matter connections may contribute to reduced speed of information processing in traumatic brain injury and stroke. Damage to such axonal projections suggests a particular vulnerability to functions requiring integration across cortical sites. To test this prediction, measurements were made of perceptual grouping, which requires integration of stimulus components. A group of traumatic brain injury and cerebral vascular accident patients and a group of age-matched healthy control subjects viewed arrays of dots and indicated the pattern into which stimuli were perceptually grouped. Psychophysical measurements were made of perceptual grouping as well as processing speed. The patient group showed elevated grouping thresholds as well as extended processing time. In addition, most patients showed progressive slowing of processing speed across levels of difficulty, suggesting reduced resources to accommodate increased demands on grouping. These results support the prediction that brain injury results in a particular vulnerability to functions requiring integration of information across the cortex, which may result from dysfunction of long-range axonal connection.

AB - This study examined the effect of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in young children on sleep problems and the relationship of sleep problems to neuropsychological and psychosocial functioning. Participants were drawn from an ongoing longitudinal study of injury in young children recruited from 3 to 6 years of age. They constituted three groups: orthopedic injury (OI; n = 92), complicated mild/moderate TBI (mTBI; n = 55); and severe TBI (sTBI; n = 20). Caregivers completed the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), as well as ratings of behavioral adjustment, adaptive functioning, and everyday executive function at 1, 6, 12, and 18 months postinjury. Retrospective ratings of preinjury sleep and psychosocial functioning were obtained at the initial assessment. Children completed neuropsychological testing at all occasions. Children with complicated mTBI demonstrated more total sleep problems than children with OI at 6 months postinjury, but not at 12 or 18 months. Children with sTBI displayed more bedtime resistance and shorter sleep duration than those with complicated mTBI or OI at several occasions. Across groups, total sleep problems predicted more emotional and behavioral problems and worse everyday executive function as rated by parents across follow-up occasions. In contrast, sleep problems were generally not related to neuropsychological test performance. The results suggest that young children with TBI demonstrate more sleep problems than children with injuries not involving the head. Sleep problems, in turn, significantly increase the risk of poor psychosocial outcomes across time, but are not associated with worse neuropsychological test performance.

AB - Purpose: More youth are killed every year in the United States in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crashes than on bicycles, and since 2001, one-fifth of all ATV fatalities have involved victims aged 15 years or younger. Effectively preventing pediatric ATV-related deaths and injuries requires knowledge about youth riding practices. Our objective was to examine ATV use, crash prevalence, and riding behaviors among adolescent students in a rural state. Methods: We administered a cross-sectional survey to 4,684 youths aged 11 to 16 years at 30 schools across Iowa from November 2010 to April 2013. Descriptive and comparative analyses were performed. Results: Regardless of rurality, at least 75% of students reported having been on an ATV, with 38% of those riding daily or weekly. Among ATV riders, 57% had been in a crash. Most riders engaged in risky behaviors, including riding with passengers (92%), on public roads (81%), or without a helmet (64%). Almost 60% reported engaging in all 3 behaviors; only 2% engaged in none. Multivariable modeling revealed male youth, students riding daily/weekly, and those reporting both riding on public roads and with passengers were 1.61 (95% CI, 1.36–1.91), 3.73 (95% CI, 3.10–4.50), and 3.24 (95% CI, 2.09–5.04) times more likely to report a crash, respectively. Conclusions: Three-fourths of youths surveyed were exposed to ATVs. The majority of riders had engaged in unsafe behaviors and experienced a crash. Given this widespread use and the potentially considerable morbidity of pediatric ATV crashes, prevention efforts, including anticipatory guidance by primary care clinicians serving families at risk, should be a higher priority.

The Charge of Quarters (CQ) Duty Task is a multitask assessment designed to assess executive functioning in servicemembers after concussion. In this article, we discuss the rationale and process used in the development of the CQ Duty Task and present pilot data from the preliminary evaluation of interrater reliability (IRR). Method: Three evaluators observed as 12 healthy participants performed the CQ Duty Task and measured performance using various metrics. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) quantified IRR. Results: The ICC for task completion was .94. ICCs for other assessment metrics were variable. Conclusion: Preliminary IRR data for the CQ Duty Task are encouraging, but further investigation is needed to improve IRR in some domains. Lessons learned in the development of the CQ Duty Task could benefit future test development efforts with populations other than the military.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Providing audio files in lieu of written remarks on graded assignments is arguably a more effective means of feedback, allowing students to better process and understand the critique and improve their future work. With emerging technologies and software, this audio feedback alternative to the traditional paradigm of providing written comments seems a natural progression to improve student learning. Its utility is especially significant for feedback on writing in mathematics, when it becomes easier for instructor corrections to not only point to deficiencies, but also offer more in depth explanations on the root causes of error in student formulations or mathematical modeling. This paper details the benefits of implementing an audio feedback technique for writing in mathematics, and provides results of a case study performed during four semesters of a collegiate freshman mathematics course. Given instructor initiative and startup time to acclimate to this new way of assessment, the benefits of the audio feedback alternative towards student learning appear substantial.

The present study challenges this interpretation, arguing that the wartime conflict between March and Pershing was more severe than previously thought, and was founded upon the lack of a clearly defined command structure within the American Army as opposed to a collision of strong personalities.

Meeting these needs were persistent challenges for the nascent state governments, all of which lacked a financial foundation, manufacturing base, and logistical network to sustain a concerted war effort. North Carolina was particularly beset by these challenges, which led state officials to adopt two of the most burdensome intrusions into the wartime routines of Carolinians: impressment and conscription. Both of these expedients produced antipathy and resistance to Patriot authorities, undermined support for the new state, and added to the disorders within the state during most of the war years.

Regardless of the algorithm selected, detection performance can be severely degraded when the subspace defined by the target data set is singular or ill conditioned. High correlations between target components and their linear combinations lead to false positives and misidentifications, especially for subspace-based detectors. In this paper, we propose a subspace partitioning scheme that allows for detection to be performed in a number of better conditioned subspaces instead of the original subspace. The proposed technique is applied to Raman spectroscopic data analysis. Through both simulation and experimental results, we demonstrate the improvement in the overall detection performance when using the proposed subspace partitioning scheme in conjunction with several subspace detection methods that are commonly used in practice.

The governing equations for viscoelasticity, viscopiezoelectricity, and viscopiezo-electromagnetism were implemented for an AT-cut quartz resonator. To simulate the radiation conditions at infinity for the viscopiezoelectromagnetic model, perfectly matched layers over a surface enclosing the resonator were implemented to absorb all incident electromagnetic radiation. The shape of the radiation spectrum of a 5.6 MHz AT-cut quartz resonator was found to compare relatively well the measured results by Campbell and Weber. The mesa-plate resonator was studied for a frequency range of 1.4 GHz to 3.4 GHz. The resonator Q was determined to be influenced predominantly by the quartz viscoelasticity; how- ever at frequencies greater than 2.3 GHz, the quartz electromagnetic radiation had an increasingly significant effect on the resonator Q. At 3.4 GHz, the electromagnetic radiation accounted for about 14% of the loss in resonator Q. At frequencies less than 2 GHz, the calculated resonator Q compared well with the intrinsic Qx provided by the formula Qx = 16 x 106/f where f was in MHz. At frequencies higher than 2.3 GHz, the aluminum electrodes had significant effects on the resonator Q. At 3.4 GHz, the electromagnetic radiation loss in the electrodes was an order of magnitude greater than their viscoelastic loss; hence, the vibrating aluminum electrodes became an efficient emitter of electromagnetic waves. The effects of electrical resistance in both the electrodes and quartz were determined to be negligible.

Our focus included both examining experimental and quasi-experimental as well as lab and field studies conducted in public and private organizations. Our goal was to address a simple question: do leadership interventions have the intended impact and if so to what degree? We conducted a comprehensive review of the published and unpublished literature and uncovered 200 lab and field studies that met our criterion as leadership intervention studies. We report here the findings of a series of meta-analyzed effects comparing the relative impact of leadership interventions across intervention types, leadership theories, and several common dependent variables. Overall, leadership interventions produced a 66% probability of achieving a positive outcome versus a 50–50 random effect for treatment participants, but this effect varied significantly when assessing moderators such as type of leadership theory.

This is somewhat surprising given that effective leadership requires high levels of agency (i.e., deliberately or intentionally exerting positive influence) and confidence. This review uses existing theory and research on leader efficacy as a point of departure for proposing an expanded and multi-level framework for understanding the domain of leadership efficacy that includes leader, follower, and collective efficacies. The primary goals are to provide a conceptual framework to stimulate future theory and research on building efficacious leadership and to understand how such leadership develops and has implications for effective performance.

We demonstrate several advances in the integration of nanoporous energetic silicon, including monolithic integration of a hotwire initiator on nanoporous energetic silicon, with 2.8-V ignition. We also demonstrate lithographically patterned arrays of energetic devices that are independently addressable through integrated initiators with no sympathetic ignition. Monolithic integration of the energetic material with a surface micromachined microelectromechanical systems sensor is also shown. The performance and failure mechanisms of the hotwire initiator are examined, and preliminary measurements of the thrust and propagation velocity are reported.

Pixelated grayscale masks often suffer from limited vertical resolution due to restrictions on the mask fabrication. The double. exposure technique uses two pixelated grayscale mask exposures before development and dramatically increases the vertical resolution without altering the mask fabrication process. An empirical calibration technique was employed for mask design and was also applied to study the effects of exposure time and mask misalignment on the photoresist profile. This technology has been demonstrated to improve the average step between photoresist levels from 0.19 to 0.02 μm and the maximum step from 0.43 to 0.2 μm compared to a single pixelated exposure using the same mask design.

Stable operation of the air-driven silicon microturbine is shown for over 1000000 revolutions at speeds, pressure drops, and flow rates of up to 10000 r/min, 0.45 lbf/in², and 3.5 slm, respectively. Incorporation of a gas thrust plenum using a novel packaging scheme has enabled comprehensive spin-down friction characterization of the encapsulated microball bearing. An empirical power-law model for dynamic friction has been developed for speeds of 250-5000 r/min and loads of 10-50 mN, corresponding to torques of 0.0625-2.5 μN · m and friction torque constants of 2.25-5.25 × 10-4 μN · m/r/min. The onset and effect of wear and wear debris have been studied, showing negligible wear in the load bearing surfaces for the operating conditions considered.

In this work, we optimize the detector structure and produce a number of large format focal plane arrays (FPAs). Specifically, we adopt one-corrugation-per-pixel geometry to increase the active detector volume and incorporate a composite cover layer to preserve the large sidewall reflectivity, which results in a large detector quantum efficiency. We also optimize the detector material structure such as the final state energy, the doping density, and the number of quantum well periods to improve the FPA operation under the existing readout electronics. As a result, high FPA sensitivity has been achieved, and their characteristics are in agreement with the detector model. Based on this model, we perform a systematic analysis on the FPA performance with a wide range of detector and system parameters. We find that C-QWIP FPAs are capable of high-speed imaging especially for those with longer cutoff wavelengths.

The chirality parameter is a function of frequency and depth of the slab. The developed technique is based on the use of coupled differential equations for the Green functions associated with electromagnetic propagation through the slab. The technique makes use of the Nth degree interpolation polynomials to approximate the Green functions and the chiral parameter among other functions using Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto collocation points. Numerical results from a laboratory measurement simulation are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique.

We present the details of our design and the results of our characterization. Our instrument operates over the X- and Ku-bands (8-18 GHz). Digital signal processing techniques are used to provide robustness against instrumentation drifts and offsets. The economized version of our instrument can detect, with sufficient correlation efficiency, noise signals having power levels as low as 10 fW. The modularity of our design allows one to easily alter the specifications (such as the bandwidth and the sensitivity) by simply replacing individual components.

The images obtained from two sides of the building were combined in order to obtain the full building layout, including the interior structure. Computer simulations performed with Xpatch, a physical optics-based ray tracing code, are used to explain some phenomena observed in the measured SAR images.

We use the finite-difference time-domain modeling technique to compute the radar return from configurations of increasing complexity, where humans and furniture objects are placed in a room. We apply SAR image formation techniques and analyze the images obtained for various wall materials, aspect angles, and radar parameters. We investigate the multipath propagation issues relevant to STTW imaging radar and discuss the radar parameter tradeoff based on image quality. We also look at images obtained in cross-polarization, demonstrating how this radar operational mode can achieve significant clutter rejection. The phenomenological results obtained in this paper can be used as guidance by radar engineers in order to optimize the performance of STTW SAR imaging systems.

Applied Plasma Technologies has proposed its new highly efficient hybrid-type plasma-assisted system for organic fuel combustion and gasification. The system operates as a multimode multipurpose reactor in a wide range of plasma feedstock gases and turndown ratios. This system also has convenient and simultaneous feeding of several reagents in the reaction zone such as liquid fuels, coal, steam, and air. A special methodology has been developed for such a system in terms of heat balance evaluation and optimization. This methodology considers all existing and possible energy streams, which could influence the system's efficiency. The developed hybrid-type plasma system could be suitable for combustion applications, mobile and autonomous small- to mid-size liquid fuel and coal gasification modules, hydrogen-rich gas generators, waste-processing facilities, and plasma chemical reactors.

Implementation currently waits for similar and current research concerning drill sergeants. Previously, the Army assigned successful noncommissioned officers (NCOs), regardless of inherent sales and marketing skills, into the recruiting force. The Army learned skills that make a successful combat leader do not always translate well into recruiting duty. This research began in 2001, after recruiting shortages, when the Army began researching recruiter selection methods. The result is an application that combines statistical learning with industrial and organizational (IO) psychology. The resulting selection model determines the better NCOs for service as detailed recruiters in the United States Army Recruiting Command, a 6000 plus sales force located worldwide. The application enhances IO psychology by providing a statistical prediction of job performance derived from psychological inventories and biographical data. The application uses a combination of statistical learning, variable selection methods, and IO psychology to determine the better prediction function approximation with variables obtained from the noncommissioned officer leadership skills inventory (NLSI) and biographical data. The application also creates a methodology for iteratively developing a statistical learning model. We learned that random forest models outperformed support vector regressions and stepwise regression for these data. A greedy algorithm enhanced model generalization by selecting a good subset of prediction variables. The model represents a multimodal relationship primarily between recruiter age, NLSI score, and, to a lesser degree, 34 other variables. The resulting model runs in R s- - tatistical language and is controlled within an Excel worksheet environment by using Visual Basic Application language and RExcel. The end product enables general utilization of a statistically elegant model, normally reserved for advanced researchers, engineers, statisticians, and economists.

The deadband effect on the steady-state and transient commutating process are analyzed. The current variations caused by phase-shift errors at the boundary conditions are simulated and validated through experiments. The concept of "energy deadband" is introduced to describe those specific transients where no energy flows from source to load or load to source. A set of strategies are proposed to increase the system robustness. Simulation and experiments on a 200-V/400-V, 6-kW dc-dc converter prototype validated these strategies.

To help one community and to provide an example for managers of other watersheds, we engaged stakeholders in a group model building process to explore plausible water resources futures for the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia, Canada. The process was conducted by a team of academic and federal government researchers and comprised of a sequence of five one-day participatory workshops held within the basin over a 12-month period. Primary workshop objectives included: creating a shared learning experience, developing a customized exploration tool, and fostering trust in the model among the participants. Survey results indicate that the exercise helped participants to expand their thinking to the basin scale and to appreciate the complexity of water management. Participants found the resulting model to be suitable for futures exploration and outreach; however, the high turnover rate in participation limited the sense of ownership in the model by the completion of the final session.

Simple and transparent formulas for the cross-shore and longshore transport rates of suspended sediment and bed load on beaches are proposed and incorporated into a combined wave and current model to predict the berm and dune erosion under normally and obliquely incident irregular waves. Two small-scale experiments for two different berm profiles were conducted for the calibration of the developed numerical model. The calibrated numerical model is shown to predict the measured berm and dune erosion in these experiments as well as dune erosion measured in three large-scale tests with errors less than a factor of two. The numerical model is used to examine the effects of the wave period and incident wave angle on the berm and dune erosion. These effects are computed to be within a factor of two.

Model geometry is based on hydrographic surveys obtained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 2006. The model is forced with time-varying tidal boundary conditions at the east and west ends of the Canal, and predicts velocity and discharge at selected locations within the canal. The model was calibrated using current meter data obtained between October 1992 and October 1993, when USACE operated recording current meters in and adjacent to the canal. Following selection of these parameters, the model was run to simulate other periods between October 1992 and October 1993. Comparison of model and prototype current speeds for these simulations demonstrates the ability of the model to reproduce observed flows accurately under a range of tidal forcing conditions. The model was used to describe the average net flow in the canal which is normally from the Chesapeake to the Delaware but which reversed during the Northeaster of December 1992, a period of unusually high meteorologically driven tides of the Delaware Estuary.

The rotors are fiber reinforced in the circumferential direction to resist centripetal loads resulting from high-speed rotation. A press-fit process is also used to induce precompression in the radial direction that improves mechanical strength by preventing radial separation of rotors. However, this design and fabrication process leaves the radial and axial directions of rotor vulnerable to propagation of fatigue crack growth in the rotor. A semiempirical approach is proposed to enhance the "crack growth" resistance of the rotor. Axial glass plies are incorporated to confine the crack growth through the radius and along the circumferential direction of rotor. The fracture properties of specific hybrid laminates are then measured to provide information required for an optimal rotor design.

Silicon SGTOs (3.5 cm²) were pulsed at 5 kA with a half-sine current waveform measuring 1 ms at the base. The recovery time, or Tq, of the devices was evaluated from the point at which the main current pulse fell to zero. Using a driver designed to provide both turn-on and turn-off signals, the Tq was reduced to 10 μs. Smaller silicon carbide SGTOs (0.16 cm²) were similarly evaluated for wide-pulse performance. They were switched several times at a peak current above 300 A, with an unassisted Tq time of 30 μs. This paper provides details of the aforementioned pulse switching as well as a description of continuing evaluations involving parallel devices and larger test beds.

A dc voltage source is assumed as the input to the inverter, and under faulty conditions of the inverter switch, the actual voltage applied between the line to neutral (open neutral) of the 3-phase circuit is derived, based on the inverter switching table. This issue is very important, since during motor analysis and simulation it very often becomes necessary to use a line-to-neutral voltage as input to the simulation process or analysis, for which current is the output. The paper studies the necessary and sufficient conditions required for the line-to-neutral voltages indicated in the switching truth table to be true.

However, little is known about the incidence rate and injury patterns associated with ankle sprains in this population. Objective: To examine the incidence of ankle sprains among active-duty members of the US Armed Services from 1998 through 2006. A secondary objective was to describe the sex, age, and service-specific injury patterns in this young, physically active population. Design: Cohort study. Patients or Other Participants: All active-duty service members from the day they enter military service until the day they leave military service and US Army Reserve and National Guard service members during periods of active duty and mobilization. Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury data were extracted from the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database from 1998 through 2006. All data for ankle sprains, coded according to the International Classification of Diseases (9th revision), were included. Cases were limited to those injuries reported as first occurrences. Incidence rates (IRs) were calculated per 1000 person-years by sex, age, and service. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between the incidence of ankle sprain and the independent variables of sex, age, and service. Results: From 1998 through 2006, 423 581 service members sustained ankle sprains and 12 118 863 person-years at risk to injury were documented in this population. The incidence rate was 34.95 (95% CI = 34.85, 35.06) per 1000 person-years at risk. Females were 21% more likely (IRR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.21, 1.23) to sustain an ankle sprain than males. Sex-specific IR varied by age and service. Differences in the rate of ankle sprains were also noted by age and service. Conclusions: The incidence of ankle sprains among US service members was 5 times greater than that previously reported in civilian population studies. Sex, age, and branch of military service are important factors related to the incidence of ankle sprains in this population. SN - 1062-6050 AD - John A.

AB - The new generation of wounded Warriors is vastly different from those seen in the past, and military occupational therapists (OTs) must adapt to the challenges to meet the needs of these young men and women. Three case reports will be presented demonstrating the adaptability and flexibility of military OTs serving the combat wounded Warrior. The first case report reviews the rehabilitation process of a Sailor who was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) and sustained an open shrapnel wound to his left upper extremity. The second case report presents the complex rehabilitation process of a Soldier who sustained an open distal radius and carpal fractures with soft tissue loss to his left hand from a gunshot wound after his helicopter was shot down. The final case report represents a Soldier who was injured using a table saw while in Iraq and sustained lacerations to his left hand thumb, index, and ring fingers. These case reports represent some of the demands and challenges that military OTs face when treating the war casualty.

Such dehydration can impair cognitive and physical performance. Some portion of exercise-induced dehydration may be offset by changing the perceptual biases of soldiers when filling and drinking from canteens. Using comparably sized water bottles, we investigated this perceptual bias with 50 Army and Marine ROTC students by showing that those given short, wide, clear water bottles poured and drank more water than those given taller bottles that held the same volume. Even although those given short, wide water bottles poured 38% more water, they did not perceive themselves as having poured or drunk more. The implications for decreasing dehydration in the field and in garrison are discussed.

The Department of Defense (DoD) offers a robust prescription benefit to 8.8 million beneficiaries. This benefit has evolved to meet changes in technology and patient requirements. The PharmacoEconomic Center (PEC) was established as the first pharmacy benefit manager entity in 1992, primarily in response to rapidly rising DoD pharmacy program expenditures. In its short history, the PEC has dramatically improved patient safety and decreased costs. To accelerate the efficiency and effectiveness the enterprise-wide pharmacy benefit manager has already achieved, DoD should increase the funding, staff, and authority of the PEC.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The regression framework is often the method of choice used by psychologists for predicting organizationally relevant outcomes from test scores. However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives—decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)—and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between “stayers” and “leavers” after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

AB - Although empowerment often makes a team more effective, managers do not use this tool extensively. One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The current study compared expert-observer ratings of situation awareness (SA) with subjective self-ratings of SA in Norwegian military academy cadets during a summer combat survival course. The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Soldiers on today's battlefield find themselves monitoring a host of displays in both vehicles and command centers, with personal-mounted displays looming in the near future. Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 2011. AB - Psychology and the U.S. military have a long history of collaboration. The U.S. Army Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program aims to measure the psychosocial strengths and assets of soldiers as well as their problems, to identify those in need of basic training in a given domain as well as those who would benefit from advanced training, and then to provide that training. The goals of the CSF program include the promotion of well-being as well as the prevention of problems. Assessment is the linchpin of the CSF program, and the Global Assessment Tool (GAT) is a self-report survey that measures psychosocial fitness in emotional, social, family, and spiritual domains. We review the history of psychological assessment in the military and the lessons taught by this history. Then we describe the process by which the GAT was developed and evaluated. We conclude with a discussion of pending next steps in the development and use of the GAT. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - The Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program is designed to increase psychological strength and positive performance and to reduce the incidence of maladaptive responses of the entire U.S. Army. Based on the principles of positive psychology, CSF is a historically unique approach to behavioral health in a large (1.1 million members) organization. There are four program elements: (a) the assessment of emotional, social, family, and spiritual fitness; (b) individualized learning modules to improve fitness in these domains; (c) formal resilience training; and (d) training of Army master resilience trainers (MRTs) to instill better thinking skills and resilience in their subordinates. In contrast to traditional approaches, CSF is proactive; rather than waiting to see who has a negative outcome following stress, it provides ways of improving resilience for all members of the Army. CSF aims to move the full spectrum of responses to trauma and adversity—ranging from stress-related disorders to ordinary resilience—toward personal growth. This program may provide a model for implementing similar interventions in other very large institutions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

Purpose: To determine the effect of multiple hours of exercise-heat stress on sweat mineral concentrations. Methods: Seven heatacclimated subjects (6 males, 1 female) completed 5x 60 min of treadmill exercise (1.56 m/s, 2% grade) with 20 min rest between exercise periods in 2 weather conditions (27 °C, 40% relative humidity, 1 m/s and 35 °C, 30%, 1 m/s). Sweat was collected from a sweat-collection pouch attached to the upper back during exercise bouts 1, 3, and 5. Mineral elements were determined by using inductively coupled plasma-emission spectrography. Results: At 27 °C, sweat sodium (863 [563] µg/mL; mean [SD]), potassium (222 [48] µg/mL), calcium (16 [7]) µg/mL), magnesium (1265 [566] ng/mL), and copper (80 [56] ng/mL) remained similar to baseline over 7 h of exercise-heat stress, whereas sweat zinc declined 42-45% after the initial hour of exercise-heat stress (Ex1 = 655 [362], Ex3 = 382 [168], Ex5 = 355 [288] µg/mL, P < 0.05). Similar outcomes were observed for sweat zinc at 35 °C when sweat rates were higher. Sweat rate had no effect on sweat trace-element composition. Conclusions: Sweat sodium, potassium, and calcium losses during multiple hours of sustained sweating can be predicted from initial sweat composition. Estimates of sweat zinc losses, however, will be overestimated if sweat zinc conservation is not accounted for in sweat zinc-loss estimates.

Ten adult subjects (6 males and 4 females; mean age and body weight are 21.8 yr and 68.3 kg) volunteered to participate. Cardiac output (Q) and related measurements were analyzed to determine the effect of a punch-kick technique on the central (heart rate, HR; stroke volume, SV) and peripheral (arteriovenous oxygen difference, a-vO2 diff) components of VO2, using a CO2 rebreathing technique and the Beckman Metabolic Cart, respectively. The results were analyzed using a t-test for dependent measures. There were no significant (p>0.05) differences VO2, Q, HR, and SV between the two exercise sessions. The results showed that a-vO2 diff was significantly higher during the treadmill exercise, although the slightly higher response has no practical value. These findings indicate that both types of exercise produce similar cardiovascular responses and, therefore, provide some support for martial arts being an effective stimulus for cardiovascular conditioning.

Also, we report on 994 heat stroke hospitalizations in the U.S. Army. It is known that prior infection is a risk factor for heat illness and some of the 37 heat stroke deaths cited infections (eg, pneumonia, influenza) in the medical records. Results: This case report illustrates complete recovery from abnormal hyperthermia, which occurred in a laboratory setting during mild, low intensity exercise. In a field setting, this case may have resulted in serious heat illness. As with most of the heat stroke cases, rapid medical attention (ie, cooling and rehydration) and the age group (19 to 26) that represents majority of the heatstroke cases in U.S. Army are likely factors that contribute successful treatment of heatstroke in the field environment. Conclusions: We conclude that acute inflammatory response can augment the hyperthermia of exercise and possibly increase heat illness susceptibility. Furthermore, it is important for health care providers of soldiers and athletes to monitor acute local infections due to the potential thermoregulatory consequences during exercise in the heat.

A survey was administered in January and February 2003 to determine if military affiliation is associated with attitudes toward sending troops into Afghanistan after the war started and Iraq before sending troops. Majorities of all students supported both war efforts, though US Military Academy at West Point and ROTC cadets are somewhat more supportive of both wars compared to civilian students. However, most differences are explained by students' gender and political affiliation, suggesting that differences between groups result from selection effects rather than cultural differences. A fourth wave in civil-military affairs potentially has emerged in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 through a civil-military attitude fusion complicated by a gender-politics gap.

Bliss, a Union officer captured in Texas early in the Civil War. Bliss relates his experiences as a prisoner of war in San Antonio during 1861 and early 1862, noting the changes in attitude toward him and his unit by his captors as the war intensified and wounded Confederate soldiers returned to Texas and related their battle experiences. In early 1862 Bliss was transferred to Richmond, Virginia, and shortly thereafter returned to the North following a prisoner exchange. He took command of the 7th Rhode Island Infantry, participated in several major battles, and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his courageous action at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862.

This social-political accountability was largely instilled at West Point, as reformed during the 1820's, and it helped foster general civilian acceptance of a growing professional monopoly over the direction of the armed forces. This process decisively enhanced national military capability, especially in the offensive power projection necessary for territorial expansion and national reunification.

Yet, no studies have examined their interaction. The authors' objective was to review the effects of vehicle training and grazing on grassland soils and vegetation and develop a state-and-transition model that incorporates grazing and training for Fort Hood, Texas. Both grazing and training can cause soil compaction and vegetation disturbance, altering hydrology and increasing erosion. While the effects of grazing largely depend on stocking rate, vehicle training causes greater disturbance when wet soils are driven on, when vehicles are turned sharply, and as the number of vehicle passes increases. Grazing and training are expected to maintain grasslands in secondary succession, though eroded sites dominated by annuals also could develop under frequent training. The state-and-transition model may guide decisionmaking for military land managers faced with training and grazing effects.

This small-scale, planned industrial village was designed and operated by David Felt, a liberal Unitarian printer and stationer, from 1845 to 1860. Archaeological and documentary materials recovered between 2000 and 2005 paint a picture of conditions in Felt's rural industrial-reformist alternative community and provide a glimpse into the worldview of the community architect. Examination of Feltville and its historical context allows for the evaluation of the potential practical and theoretical contributions of historical archaeology in the study of utopian movements. Specifically, the diversity of sociopolitical ideals expressed prior to the advent of Marxian socialism calls into question the conflation of communalist and utopian social designs in some contemporary treatments.

Hydrogen has been shown to support the anaerobic transformation of these explosives. We investigated ethanol and propylene glycol as electron donors for providing syntrophically produced H2 for stimulating the anaerobic biodegradation of explosives in contaminated soil. The study was conducted using anoxic microcosms constructed with slurries of the contaminated soil and groundwater. The addition of 5mM ethanol and propylene glycol enhanced the biodegradation of RDX and HMX relative to the control bottles. Ethanol was depleted within about 20days, resulting in the transient formation of hydrogen, acetate, and methane. The hydrogen headspace concentration increased from 8ppm to 1838ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. Propylene glycol was completely degraded after 15days, forming hydrogen, propionate, and acetate as end-products. The hydrogen headspace concentrations increased from 56ppm to 628ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. No methane formation was observed during the incubation period of 48days. Our findings indicate the addition of ethanol and propylene to the aquifer slurries increased the hydrogen concentrations and enhanced the biotransformation of RDX and HMX in the explosive-contaminated soil.

The organisms in mulch breakdown complex organics to soluble carbon, which can then be used by these and other microorganisms as an electron donor for treating RDX and HMX via reductive pathways. A bench-scale treatability study with organic mulch was conducted for the treatment of RDX- and HMX-contaminated groundwater obtained from a plume at the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Pueblo, Colorado. The site-specific cleanup criteria of 0.55 ppb RDX and 602 ppb HMX were used as the logical goals of the study. Column flow-through tests were run to steady-state at the average site seepage velocity, using a 70%:30% (vol.:vol.) mulch:pea gravel packing to approach the formation''s permeability. Significant results included: (1) Complete removal of 90 ppb influent RDX and 8 ppb influent HMX in steady-state mulch column effluent; (2) pseudo-first-order steady-state kinetic rate constant, k, of 0.20 to 0.27 h−1 based on RDX data, using triplicate parallel column runs; (3) accumulation of reduced RDX intermediates in the steady-state column effluent at less than 2% of the influent RDX mass; (4) no binding of RDX to the column fill material; and (5) no leaching of RDX, HMX or reduction intermediates from the column fill material. The results of the bench-scale study will be used to design and implement a pilot-scale organic mulch/pea gravel permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at the site.

If applied to ecotoxicology, genomics tools could greatly enhance the ability to understand the modes of toxicity in environmentally relevant organisms. Daphnia magna, a small aquatic crustacean, is considered a ‘keystone’ species in ecological food webs and is an indicator species for toxicant exposure. Our objective was to demonstrate the potential utility of gene expression profiling in ecotoxicology by identifying novel biomarkers and uncovering potential modes of action in D. magna. Using a custom O. magna cDNA microarray, we identified distinct expression profiles in response to sublethal copper, cadmium, and zinc exposures and discovered specific biomarkers of exposure including two probable metallothioneins, and a ferritin mRNA with a functional IRE. The gene expression patterns support known mechanisms of metal toxicity and reveal novel modes of action including zinc inhibition of chitinase activity. By integrating gene expression profiling into an environmentally important organism, this study provides experimental support for the utility of ecotoxicogenomics.

However, use of observations by humans introduces subjectivity, and is expensive due to semiannual certification requirements of the observers. The Digital Opacity Method (DOM) was developed to quantify plume opacity at lower cost, with improved objectivity, and to provide a digital record. Photographs of plumes were taken with a calibrated digital camera under specified conditions. Pixel values from those photographs were then interpreted to quantify the plume's opacity using a contrast model and a transmission model. The contrast model determines plume opacity based on pixel values that are related to the change in contrast between two backgrounds that are located behind and next to the plume. The transmission model determines the plume's opacity based on pixel values that are related to radiances from the plume and its background. D0M was field tested with a smoke generator. The individual and average opacity errors of DOM were within the USEPA Method 9 acceptable error limits for both field campaigns. Such results are encouraging and support the use of DOM as an alternative to Method 9.

The outer nest of this prediction system encompassed the Southern California Bight. This forecasting system is described in this paper, with analysis of results via comparison to the extensive buoy network in the region. There are a number of potential errors, two of which are poor resolution of islands in the Bight—which have a strong impact on nearshore wave climate—and the use of the stationary assumption for computations. These two problems have straightforward solutions, but the solutions are computationally expensive, so an operational user must carefully consider their cost. The authors study the impact of these two types of error (relative to other errors, such as error in boundary forcing) using several hindcasts performed after the completion of NCEX. It is found that, with buoy observations as ground truth, the stationary assumption leads to a modest increase in root-mean-square error; this is due to relatively poor prediction of the timing of swell arrivals and local sea growth/decay. The model results are found to be sensitive to the resolution of islands; however, coarse resolution does not incur an appreciable penalty in terms of error statistics computed via comparison to buoy observations, suggesting that other errors dominate. Inaccuracy in representation of the local atmospheric forcing likely has a significant impact on wave model error. Perhaps most importantly, the accuracy of directional distribution of wave energy at the open ocean boundaries appears to be a critical limitation on the accuracy of the model-data comparisons inside the Bight.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2007/01// VL - 70 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 88 EP - 93 SN - 15287394 AB - Trenbolone acetate is a synthetic androgen that is currently used as a growth promoter in many meat-exporting countries. Despite industry laboratories classifying trenbolone as nonteratogenic, data showed that embryonic exposure to this androgenic chemical altered development of the immune system in Japanese quail. Trenbolone is lipophilic, persistent, and released into the environment in manure used as soil fertilizer. This is the first study to date to assess this chemical's immunotoxic effects in an avian species. A one-time injection of trenbolone into yolks was administered to mimic maternal deposition, and subsequent effects on the development and function of the immune system were determined in chicks and adults. Development of the bursa of Fabricius, an organ responsible for development of the humoral arm of the immune system, was disrupted, as indicated by lower masse, and smaller and fewer follicles at day 1 of hatch. Morphological differences in the bursas persisted in adults, although no differences in either two measures of immune function were observed. Total numbers of circulating leukocytes were reduced and heterophil–lymphocyte ratios were elevated in chicks but not adults. This study shows that trenbolone acetate is teratogenic and immunotoxic in Japanese quail, and provides evidence that the quail immune system may be fairly resilient to embryonic endocrine-disrupting chemical-induced alterations following no further exposure posthatch.

Researchers looked at retinal, lens, and corneal effects of laser exposures in the near-IR to far-IR transition region of the eye. Their evidence showed that the current maximum permissible exposure limits should be beneficially revised to relax IR limits at the 1.2-2.6 wavelength range. A proposal to amend the IR maximum permissible exposure limits over the 1.2-2.6 wavelength range is presented.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2006/12/15/ VL - 40 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 7521 EP - 7527 SN - 0013936X AB - The detailed physical characteristics of the subarctic snowpack must be known to quantify the exchange of adsorbed pollutants between the atmosphere and the snow cover. For the first time, the combined evolutions of specific surface area (SSA), snow stratigraphy,temperature, and density were monitored throughout winter in central Alaska. We define the snow area index (SAl) as the vertically integrated surface area of snow crystals, and this variable is used to quantify pollutants' adsorption. Intense metamorphism generated by strong temperature gradients formed a thick depth hoar layer with low SSA (90 cm² g-1) and density (200 kg m-3), resulting in a low SAl. After snowpack buildup in autumn, the winter SAl remained around 1000 m²/m² of ground, much lower than the SAl of the Arctic snowpack, 2500 m² m². With the example of PCBs 28 and 180, we calculate that the subarctic snowpack is a smaller reservoir of adsorbed pollutants than the Arctic snowpack and less efficiently transfers adsorbed pollutants from the atmosphere to ecosystems. The difference is greater for the more volatile PCB 28. With climate change, snowpack structure will be modified, and the snowpack's ability to transfer adsorbed pollutants from the atmosphere to ecosystems may be reduced, especially for the more volatile pollutants.

Estimated exposure dosages producing lethal (LCT50) effects in 50% of exposed male and female rats were established for 10, 60, and 240 min exposure durations. A potency comparison with GB and GF shows that VX becomes increasingly more potent than these G agents with increasing exposure duration. VX is approximately 4–30 times more potent than GB and 5–15 times more potent than GF. Gender differences in the estimated median dosages were not significant at the 10, 60, and 240 min exposure durations. An empirical toxic load model was developed and the toxic load exponent for lethality (n) in the equation Cn× T = k was determined to be n = 0.92. The VX–G regeneration assay was successfully used as a biomarker for the presence of VX in the blood plasma and RBC fractions of the blood 24 h postexposure.

A syringe drive/spray atomization system produced vapor concentrations at a range of 1–50 mg/m3. A saturator cell was used to generate vapor at sub-lethal concentrations ranging from 1 mg/m3 down to low levels approaching the threshold limit value time-weighted average (TLV-TWA) of 0.0001 mg/m3 for GB. Both generation techniques demonstrated the ability to produce stable vapor concentrations over extended exposure periods. This capability was important to determine sublethal nerve agent effects, such as miosis, for inhalation toxicology studies. In addition, the techniques employed for producing and maintaining low-level agent vapor would lay the foundation for testing less volatile chemical warfare agents such as VX.

JO - Estuaries & Coasts JF - Estuaries & Coasts Y1 - 2006/12// VL - 29 IS - 6A M3 - Article SP - 880 EP - 888 SN - 15592723 AB - Four hurricanes battered the State of Florida during 2004, the most affecting any state since Texas endured four in 1884. Each of the storms changed the coast differently. Average shoreline change within the right front quadrant of hurricane force winds varied from 1 m of shoreline advance to 20 m of retreat, whereas average sand volume change varied from 11 to 66 m³ m-1 of net loss (erosion). These changes did not scale simply with hurricane intensity as described by the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The strongest storm of the season, category 4 Hurricane Charley, had the least shoreline retreat. This was likely because of other factors like the storm's rapid forward speed and small size that generated a lower storm surge than expected. Two of the storms, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne, affected nearly the same area on the Florida east coast just 3 wk apart. The first storm, Frances, although weaker than the second, caused greater shoreline retreat and sand volume erosion. As a consequence, Hurricane Frances may have stripped away protective beach and exposed dunes to direct wave attack during Jeanne, although there was significant dune erosion during both storms. The maximum shoreline change for all four hurricanes occurred during Ivan on the coasts of eastern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. The net volume change across a barrier island within the Ivan impact zone approached zero because of massive overwash that approximately balanced erosion of the beach. These data from the 2004 hurricane season will prove useful in developing new ways to scale and predict coastal-change effects during hurricanes.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2006/12// VL - 42 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1503 EP - 1525 SN - 1093474X AB - A primary water quality problem caused by non-point source pollution (NPSP) is eutrophication, from excess nutrients in receiving water bodies. The control of nutrients arising from NPSP is difficult because the source areas can be hard to identify and typical treatment methods are infeasible due to the distributed nature of the pollutants. It may be possible to reduce nutrient related water quality problems through the restoration of highly disturbed watersheds with best management practices (BMPs). While restoration attempts may provide significant returns, they can be costly to implement and often are met with resistance in agricultural communities. Extending model results beyond the range of calibration to model future conditions such as for restoration scenarios requires the use of physically-based models that include the important processes that generate streamflow and material transport, uptake, loss, transformation, and recycling of nutrients and other material. The research and development objectives of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, are to develop a watershed assessment and management model to simulate transport, uptake, loss, transformation, and recycling of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and associated material such as sediment and organic matter. In this study we will discuss current efforts at the ERDC's Environmental Laboratory to develop a state-of-the-art watershed water quality model.

One tool that has been used to support environmental decision-making is comparative risk assessment (CRA), but CRA lacks a structured method for arriving at an optimal project alternative. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) provides better-supported techniques for the comparison of project alternatives based on decision matrices, and it also provides structured methods for the incorporation of project stakeholders'' opinions in the ranking of alternatives. We argue that the inherent uncertainty in our ability to predict ecosystem evolution and response to different management policies requires shifting from optimization-based management to an adaptive management paradigm. This paper brings together a multidisciplinary review of existing decision-making approaches at regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe and synthesizes state-of-the-art research in CRA, MCDA, and adaptive management methods applicable to environmental remediation and restoration projects. We propose a basic decision analytic framework that couples MCDA with adaptive management and its public participation and stakeholder value elicitation methods, and we demonstrate application of the framework to a realistic case study based on contaminated sediment management issues in the New York/New Jersey Harbor.

The approach stimulates common sulfate-reducing soil bacteria, facilitating the geochemical conversion of native iron minerals into iron sulfides. Iron sulfides have the ability to chemically reduce many common CAH compounds including PCE, TCE, DCE, similar to zero valent iron (Fe0). Results of a field test at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware, are given in this paper. BiRD was stimulated by direct injection of Epson salt (MgSO4·7H2O) and sodium (L) lactate (NaC3H5O3) in five injection wells. Sediment was sampled before and 8 months after injection. Significant iron sulfide minerals developed in the sandy aquifer matrix. From ground water analyses, treatment began a few weeks after injection with up to 95% reduction in PCE, TCE, and cDCE in less than 1 year. More complete CAH treatment is likely at a larger scale than this demonstration.

Our goals were to (1) characterize the types of explosive particles, (2) estimate the explosive ‘footprint’ for different munitions, and (3) estimate the mass of Comp B remaining after each detonation. The aerial deposition of Comp B particles helps estimate how large of an area is contaminated by a low-order detonation and how best to sample residue resulting from different rounds. We found that the high-order detonations deposited microgram to milligram quantities whereas the low-order detonations deposited gram quantities of Comp B. For the high-order detonations the concentration of Comp B in the residue decreased as a function of distance from the blast. The low-order tests scattered centimeter-sized chunks and millimeter-sized or smaller particles of Comp B. The chunks were randomly scattered whereas the number of millimeter-sized particles decreased with distance from the detonation. For both high- and low-order detonations we found that the smaller munitions deposited less Comp B than the larger munitions and deposited it closer to the detonation point.

Löve and L. triticoides (Buckley) Pilg. are tall caespitose and short rhizomatous perennial Triticeae grasses, respectively. Circumference of rhizome spreading, proportion of bolting culms, anthesis dale, and plant height were evaluated in two mapping families derived from two interspecific hybrids of L. cinereus Acc:636 and L. triticoides Acc:641 accessions, backcrossed to one L. triticoides tester. Two circumference, two bolting, and two height QTLs were homologous between families. Two circumference, seven boiling, all five anthesis dale, and five height QTLs were family specific. Thus, substantial QTL variation was apparent within and between natural source populations of these species. Two of the four circumference QTLs were detected in homoeologous regions of linkage groups 3a and 3b in both families, indicating that one gene may control much of the dramatic difference in growth habit between these species. A major height QTL detected in both families may correspond with dwarfing mutations on barley 2H and wheat 2A. The L. cinereus parent contributed negative alleles for all four circumference QTLs, five of nine bolting QTLs, two of five anthesis date QTLs, and one of seven height QTLs. Coupling of synergistic QTL allele effects within parental species was consistent with the divergent growth habit and plant height of L. cinereus and L. triticoides. Conversely, antagonistic QTL alleles evidently caused transgressive segregation in reproductive bolting and flowering time.

Löve) has low seed production and poor germination and seedling vigor, limiting its use when quick establishment is needed to stabilize degraded range-lands. This study examined differences among germplasm sources and seed production environments on western wheatgrass seed traits. Seed was harvested from 10 western wheatgrass populations grown in three environments. Seed yield, seed weight, seedling germination, and seedling vigor were then determined. Seedling vigor was measured by greenhouse evaluation of seedling emergence percentage and rate from a planting depth of 6.35 cm. There were significant population X environment interactions for seed yield and seed weight. However, high Spearman's rank correlations between environments within each trait (r = 0.64 to 0.85, P = 0.048 to 0.002) suggested that environment had only a moderate effect on ranking of populations. Mean seed yield and 100-seed weight varied significantly among populations, ranging from 2.6 to 25.4 g plant-1 and 0.43 to 0.54 g, respectively. Seed germination was high, ranging from 78.4 to 94.4%; however, population performance was not consistent across environments. Environment had no effect on seedling emergence rate, whereas emergence among populations ranged from 2.4 to 4.2 seedlings d-1. Germination rate and seed weight were both correlated with seedling emergence rate (r = 0.57, P = 0.001 and r = 0.49, P = 0.01, respectively). These results indicated that seed production environment had little effect on western wheatgrass seed yield or seedling vigor and that it may be possible to breed for improvement in these traits by selecting among and within western wheatgrass populations.

JO - Condor JF - Condor Y1 - 2006/11// VL - 108 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 770 EP - 777 SN - 00105422 AB - The endemic Hawaiian avifauna is one of the most imperiled on earth, and diseases have been one of the most serious causes of species declines. From 1995–2005, we mist-netted and banded 266 endangered O'ahu 'Elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis ibidis) from 27 sites, examined them for visible symptoms of avian pox virus (Poxvirus avium), and screened blood samples for avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum). Pox-like lesions and malaria were found in all 'Elepaio populations on O'ahu; no parts of the island were free of these mosquito-borne diseases. Each year, 20% ± 4% of 'Elepaio had active lesions likely caused by pox and an additional 16% ± 4% had deformities and missing toes indicative of healed pox lesions. Prevalence of malaria was 87% over all years combined. Pox prevalence varied among years and was associated with annual rainfall, presumably due to greater abundance of mosquito breeding sites in wet years. Rainfall amounts at least as high as those associated with pox epizootics in 1996 and 2004 have occurred in 13 years since 1947, or once every 4.5 years. Severity of infection varied considerably among birds, and infections involving three or more toes, the feet, or the head were less common in birds with healed lesions than those with active lesions, suggesting such infections resulted in mortality more often. Disease resistance may be evolving in some areas, but 'Elepaio populations on O'ahu are likely to further decline.

Entre 1995 y 2005 capturamos 266 individuos de Chasiempis sandwichensis ibidis mediante redes de niebla en 23 sitios. Los individuos capturados fueron examinados para determinar sintomas visibles de viruela aviar (Poxvirus avium) y colectamos muestras de sangre para determinar la presencia de malaria aviar (Plasmodium relictum). Encontramos lesiones de tipo viruela y malaria en todas las poblaciones de C. s. ibidis en O'ahu; ninguna parte de la isla se encontró libre de enfermedades transmitidas por mosquitos. Cada año, el 20% ± 4% de los individuos presentó lesiones activas probablemente causadas por el virus de la viruela aviary un 16% ± 4% adicional de los individuos presentó deformidades y falta de dedos indicando la presencia de lesiones de viruela que habian sido curadas. La prevalencia de la malaria fue del 87% para todos los años juntos. La prevalencia de la viruela varió entre años y se asoció con la cantidad de precipitación anual, 1o que probablemente se debe a la mayor abundancia de sitios de reproducción de mosquitos en años con más lluvia. Niveles de precipitación iguales o mayores a los asociados a la epizootia de viruela en 1996 y 2004 han ocurrido en 13 años desde 1947, o una vez cada 4.5 años. La severidad de la infección varió considerablemente entre aves, y las infecciones que involucran tres o más dedos, las patas o la cabeza fueron mënos comunes en aves con lesiones curadas que en aquellas con lesiones activas. Esto sugiere que ese tipo de lesiones causaron mortalidad con mayor frecuencia. La resistencia a la enfermedad puede estar evolucionando en aves de algunas áreas, pero las poblaciones de C. s. ibidis en O'ahu probablemente seguirán disminuyendo.

Research assesses the potential of B. pseudomallei as bioterrorism agent and biological warfare, since it causes melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by bacterium B. pseudomallei in humans. Since B. pseudomallei triggers the development of melioidosis, the environmental biology of B. pseudomallei should be improved in order to prevent and control the disease. Individuals are advised to use personal protective equipment to avoid exposure from the disease. The research assessed that through metabolic adaptation and internalization within eukaryotic systems, one can have environmental advantages to B. pseudomallei.

Multi-stage sampling with clustering was used to select 168 child care centers in 30 primary sampling units in the United States. Centers were recruited into the study by telephone interviewers. Samples for pesticides, lead, and allergens were collected at multiple locations in each center by field technicians. Field sampling was conducted from July through October 2001. Wipe samples from indoor surfaces (floors, tabletops, desks) and soil samples were collected at the centers and analyzed using a multi-residue GC/MS analysis method. Based on the questionnaire responses, pyrethroids were the most commonly used pesticides among centers applying pesticides. Among the 63% of centers reporting pesticide applications, the number of pesticides used in each center ranged from 1 to 10 and the frequency of use ranged from 1 to 107 times annually. Numerous organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides were detected in the indoor floor wipe samples. Chlorpyrifos (0.004–28 ng/cm²), diazinon (0.002–18 ng/cm²), cis-permethrin (0.004–3 ng/cm²), and trans-permethrin (0.004–7 ng/cm²) were detected in >67% of the centers. Associations exist between residues measured on the floor and other surfaces for several pesticides (p-values range from <0.0001 to 0.002), but to a lesser degree between floor and soil and other surfaces and soil. Regional analyses indicate no differences in mean level of pesticide loading between the four Census regions (0.08 < p < 0.88). Results show that there is the potential for exposure to pesticides in child care centers.

New and emerging imagery is now available at significantly higher spatial resolutions, resulting in pixel sizes equal to or smaller than many dominant desert shrubs. This had led to an opposing problem, where desert shrubs now exhibit multi-modal probability functions associated with the individual elements of the plant, such as foliage, woody stems and branches, and shadows within and around shrub canopies. High resolution imagery was collected at three spatial resolutions for study sites in the south-central Mojave Desert of California to (1) determine the effect of spatial resolution on the detection of four common species of shrubs (Chilopsis linearis, Psorothamnus spinosus, Larrea tridentata, and Ambrosia dumosa), (2) assess the affect of increasing pixel size on the accuracy of area estimates of shrub cover, and (3) assess the accuracy of vegetation cover measurements when compared to vegetation cover measured in the field. Spatial resolution greater than 1.0m was not capable of discerning a large percentage of the shrubs in this region of the Mojave Desert. Yet, high correlation () was found between field measurements of percent cover and those derived from imagery at spatial resolutions ranging from 0.6 to 1.0m. The results indicated that a spatial resolution of 1.0m or smaller was necessary to estimate percent cover and the area of individual shrubs from high-resolution imagery. Spatial resolution is dependent on the abundance and size of species of desert shrubs within plant communities, however 1.0m resolution was found to be adequate for this region of the Mojave Desert.

T1 - Effect of octanol:water partition coefficients of organophosphorus compounds on biodistribution and percutaneous toxicity. JO - Journal of Biochemical & Molecular Toxicology JF - Journal of Biochemical & Molecular Toxicology Y1 - 2006/10// VL - 20 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 241 EP - 246 SN - 10956670 AB - Knowledge of partition coefficient (log P) data can play a critical role in understanding the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodistributive properties of toxic organophosphorus (OP) compounds. Using a recently published gas chromatographic method, the octanol:water log P values for the compounds tabun (GA), sarin (GB), cyclosarin (GF), and O-ethyl- S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothiolate (VX) were determined to be 0.384 ± 0.033, 0.299 ± 0.016, 1.038 ± 0.055, and 0.675 ± 0.070, respectively. Based on these data, the log P value of the fluorophosphonate fragment, common to GB, soman (GD), and GF, was determined to be −2.256 ± 0.273. The predictive value for absorption and distribution of the determined log P values was compared to measured values. The time to onset of local fasciculations (47.3, 29.0, 8.8, 8.5, and 6.3 min, respectively) in guinea pigs exposed percutaneously to equilethal doses of GA, VX, GF, GB, or GD was used as an indicator of dermal penetration. There was a good correlation ( r = 0.95) between the measured log P value and the rate of onset of local fasciculations. Assuming a direct correspondence, equilibrium tissue:blood log P may be estimated from octanol:water log P. Comparison of the estimated and directly measured tissue:blood log P revealed a correlation of 0.8 for GD in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. Our results demonstrate the use of log P data to both predict absorption and determine the distribution of OP compounds in tissues. This facilitates further estimates of in vivo OP effects from in vitro experiments. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 20:241-246, 2006; Published online in Wiley InterScience ().

T1 - Classification of high-speed gas chromatography–mass spectrometry data by principal component analysis coupled with piecewise alignment and feature selection JO - Journal of Chromatography A JF - Journal of Chromatography A Y1 - 2006/09/29/ VL - 1129 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 118 SN - 00219673 AB - Abstract: A useful methodology is introduced for the analysis of data obtained via gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC–MS) utilizing a complete mass spectrum at each retention time interval in which a mass spectrum was collected. Principal component analysis (PCA) with preprocessing by both piecewise retention time alignment and analysis of variance (ANOVA) feature selection is applied to all mass channels collected. The methodology involves concatenating all concurrently measured individual m/z chromatograms from m/z 20 to 120 for each GC–MS separation into a row vector. All of the sample row vectors are incorporated into a matrix where each row is a sample vector. This matrix is piecewise aligned and reduced by ANOVA feature selection. Application of the preprocessing steps (retention time alignment and feature selection) to all mass channels collected during the chromatographic separation allows considerably more selective chemical information to be incorporated in the PCA classification, and is the primary novelty of the report. This methodology is objective and requires no knowledge of the specific analytes of interest, as in selective ion monitoring (SIM), and does not restrict the mass spectral data used, as in both SIM and total ion current (TIC) methods. Significantly, the methodology allows for the classification of data with low resolution in the chromatographic dimension because of the added selectivity from the complete mass spectral dimension. This allows for the successful classification of data over significantly decreased chromatographic separation times, since high-speed separations can be employed. The methodology is demonstrated through the analysis of a set of four differing gasoline samples that serve as model complex samples. For comparison, the gasoline samples are analyzed by GC–MS over both 10-min and 10-s separation times. The successfully classified 10-min GC–MS TIC data served as the benchmark analysis to compare to the 10-s data. When only alignment and feature selection was applied to the 10-s gasoline separations using GC–MS TIC data, PCA failed. PCA was successful for 10-s gasoline separations when the methodology was applied with all the m/z information. With ANOVA feature selection, chromatographic regions with Fisher ratios greater than 1500 were retained in a new matrix and subjected to PCA yielding successful classification for the 10-s separations.

This can seriously degrade its utility in the calibration of watershed models where local optima abound. Nevertheless, the method also has advantages, chief among these being its model-run efficiency, and its ability to report useful information on parameter sensitivities and covariances as a by-product of its use. It is also easily adapted to maintain this efficiency in the face of potential numerical problems (that adversely affect all parameter estimation methodologies) caused by parameter insensitivity and/or parameter correlation. The present paper presents two algorithmic enhancements to the GML method that retain its strengths, but which overcome its weaknesses in the face of local optima. Using the first of these methods an “intelligent search” for better parameter sets is conducted in parameter subspaces of decreasing dimensionality when progress of the parameter estimation process is slowed either by numerical instability incurred through problem ill-posedness, or when a local objective function minimum is encountered. The second methodology minimizes the chance of successive GML parameter estimation runs finding the same objective function minimum by starting successive runs at points that are maximally removed from previous parameter trajectories. As well as enhancing the ability of a GML-based method to find the global objective function minimum, the latter technique can also be used to find the locations of many non-global optima (should they exist) in parameter space. This can provide a useful means of inquiring into the well-posedness of a parameter estimation problem, and for detecting the presence of bimodal parameter and predictive probability distributions. The new methodologies are demonstrated by calibrating a Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model against a time series of daily flows. Comparison with the SCE-UA method in this calibration context demonstrates a high level of comparative model run efficiency for the new method.

Interstitial porosity and packing defects are varied in an attempt to understand the chromatographic consequences of the packing microstructure. The tracer zone dispersion is calculated in the form of plate height as a function of fluid velocity for seven model particle packs where particles are selectively removed from the packs in clusters of varying size and topology. In an attempt to examine the consequences of loose but random packs, the velocities and zone dispersion of seven defect-free packs are simulated over the range , where is the interstitial porosity. The results indicate that defect-free loose packings can give good chromatographic efficiency but the efficiency can vary depending on subtle details of the pack. When the defect population increases, the zone dispersion increases accordingly. For a particle pack where 6% of the particles are removed from an pack, 33% of the column efficiency is lost. These results show that it is far more important in column packing to prevent defect sites leading to inhomogeneous packing rather than obtaining the highest density pack with the smallest interstitial void volume.

JO - Journal of Applied Toxicology JF - Journal of Applied Toxicology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 26 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 410 EP - 418 SN - 0260437X AB - This study tested the hypothesis that repeated exposure to low levels of sarin, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) or their combination, at doses equivalent to those possibly experienced by veterans of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, could lead to persistent or delayed autonomic effects and thus help to explain the cause of clinical findings in this population. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated for 3 weeks with: saline injection (0.5 ml kg−1, s.c., 3 times weekly) with tap drinking water (control); saline injection with PB (80 mg l−1 in drinking water); sarin injection (62.5 µg kg−1, s.c., 0.5 × LD50, 3 times weekly) with tap drinking water (sarin); or sarin injection with PB in drinking water (sarin + PB). At 2, 4 or 16 weeks post-treatment, heart rate (HR) and locomotor activity (LA) were studied by radiotelemetry. Two weeks posttreatment, HR in drug-treated animals was significantly lower than in controls. A decrease in low-frequency HR power spectrum (PS) was found at 00:00 h and 08:00 h with sarin + PB and at 00:00 h with sarin, while total power was enhanced with sarin + PB at 22:00 h. Minimal effects of drug treatments on HR and HR PS were detected at 4 and 16 weeks post-treatment. No significant differences in LA between control and other groups were found. Since no consistent long-term effects were found in any of the variables studied, these experiments do not support the hypothesis that repeated administration of low doses of PB and the nerve agent sarin can induce persistent or delayed alterations in autonomic function.

Animals were injected once a day, 5 days per week (Monday–Friday), for 2 weeks with fractions (0.3×, 0.4×, 0.5×, or 0.6×) of the established LD50 dose of sarin (42 μg/kg, s.c.). The animals were assessed for changes in body weight, red blood cell (RBC) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels, neurobehavioral reactions to a functional observational battery (FOB), cortical electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectrum, and intrinsic acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter (NT) regulation over the 2 weeks of sarin exposure and for up to 12 days postinjection. No guinea pig receiving 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 × LD50 of sarin showed signs of cortical EEG seizures despite decreases in RBC AChE levels to as low as 10% of baseline, while seizures were evident in animals receiving 0.6 × LD50 of sarin as early as the second day; subsequent injections led to incapacitation and death. Animals receiving 0.5 × LD50 sarin showed obvious signs of cholinergic toxicity; overall, 2 of 13 animals receiving 0.5 × LD50 sarin died before all 10 injections were given, and there was a significant increase in the angle of gait in the animals that lived. By the 10th day of injection, the animals receiving saline were significantly easier to remove from their cages and handle and significantly less responsive to an approaching pencil and touch on the rump in comparison with the first day of testing. In contrast, the animals receiving 0.4 × LD50 sarin failed to show any significant reductions in their responses to an approaching pencil and a touch on the rump as compared with the first day. The 0.5 × LD50 sarin animals also failed to show any significant changes to the approach and touch responses and did not adjust to handling or removal from the cage from the first day of injections to the last day of handling. Thus, the guinea pigs receiving the 0.4 and 0.5 × LD50 doses of sarin failed to habituate to some aspects of neurobehavioral testing. Spectral analysis of EEG data suggested that repeated sarin exposure may disrupt normal sleeping patterns (i.e., lower frequency bandwidths). While these EEG changes returned to relative normalcy 6 days after the last injection in animals receiving 0.4 × LD50 sarin, these changes were still observed in the animals that received 0.5 × LD50 sarin. Ten to twelve days after the last sarin injection (in 0.4 × LD50 group only), neurochemical data showed that striatal choline levels were reduced in comparison to the saline group. At this time, atropine sulfate (5 mg/kg, i.p.) challenge resulted in a transient elevation in striatal ACh levels in animals exposed to repeated 0.4 × LD50 sarin as well as in control animals. No evidence of brain or heart pathology was found in any guinea pig that survived all 10 sarin injections.

T1 - Liquid culturing of microsclerotia of Mycoleptodiscus terrestris, a potential biological control agent for the management of hydrilla JO - Biological Control JF - Biological Control Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 38 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 298 EP - 306 SN - 10499644 AB - Abstract: Mycoleptodiscus terrestris has potential as an inundative biological control agent for the management of hydrilla, one of the world’s worst aquatic weeds. Essential to producing a marketable bioherbicidal product was the development of liquid culture procedures that would yield propagules that maintained biocontrol efficacy. Since M. terrestris did not produce conidia in liquid culture, various nutritional conditions were evaluated as a means to produce high concentrations of stable fungal propagules such as microsclerotia. Evaluations of propagule formation and biomass yield were carried out in liquid culture media containing a basal salts solution amended with corn steep liquor powder or cottonseed meal combined with 4% or 6% glucose. Hyphal aggregation was observed by day 2, and by day 8 abundant melanized microsclerotia were present in the broth cultures. When applied as a liquid inoculum to hydrilla at rates of 0.1 and 0.2ml/l, the microsclerotial matrix was capable of significantly reducing hydrilla shoot biomass by as much as 99%. Air-dried microsclerotia were capable of hyphal germination in 24h and sporogenic germination in 72h. These capabilities have significance for the use of microsclerotia of M. terrestris as the preferred inoculum for biocontrol purposes. Hyphae germinating from microsclerotia on hydrilla plant surfaces can establish initial infection sites followed several days later by secondary infections resulting from the development and release of spores from the surface of the microsclerotia. The capability of microsclerotia of M. terrestris to remain stable as a dry preparation and to germinate both hyphally and sporogenically upon rehydration enhances the potential of this fungus for use as a nonchemical, biological control agent for hydrilla.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 72 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 5766 EP - 5776 SN - 00992240 AB - In order to investigate the prevalence of tick-borne infectious agents among ticks, ticks comprising five species from two genera (Hemaphysalis spp. and Ixodes spp.) were screened using molecular techniques. Ticks (3,135) were collected from small wild-caught mammals or by dragging/flagging in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and were pooled into a total of 1,638 samples (1 to 27 ticks per pool). From the 1,638 tick samples, species-specific fragments of Anaplasma phagocytophilum (1 sample), Anaplasma platys (52 samples), Ehrlichia chaffeensis (29 samples), Ehrlichia ewingii (2 samples), Ehrlichia canis (18 samples), and Ricketisia rickettsii (28 samples) were amplified by PCR assay. Twenty-one pooled and individual tick samples had mixed infections of two (15 samples) or three (6 samples) pathogens. In addition, 424 spleen samples from small captured mammals (389 rodents, 33 insectivores, and 2 weasels) were screened for selected zoonotic pathogens. Species-specific DNA fragments of A. phagocytophilum (110 samples), A. platys (68 samples), E. chaffeensis (8 samples), E. ewingii (26 samples), E. canis (51 samples), and Rickettsia sp. (22 samples) were amplified by PCR assay. One hundred thirty small mammals had single infections, while 4, 14, and 21 striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) had mixed infections of four, three, and two pathogens, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequence comparison also revealed that Korean strains of E. chaffeensis clustered closely with those from China and the United States, while the Rickettsia (rOmpA) sequences clustered within a clade together with a Chinese strain. These results suggest that these agents should be considered in differential diagnosis while examining cases of acute febrile illnesses in humans as well as animals in the ROK.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 32 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 596 EP - 606 SN - 03801330 AB - While chemical control of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) has proven effective in closed systems, the high dosages required for adult eradication restricts the use of chemical-based strategies in field management plans. One option is to identify the most chemical-sensitive life stage and tailor management techniques to control that life stage. This would optimize target efficacy while minimizing chemical release into the environment, risk to non-target species, and cost of chemical required. In this study, the relative sensitivity of D. polymorpha life stages was investigated from free gametes to 72-h old trochophores and adults, using cupric sulfate (CuSO4) and the algaecide, Cutrine®-Ultra. In both forms of copper exposure, early life stages were orders of magnitude more sensitive than adults. For example, the highest 24-h LC50 value for the early life stages to Cutrine®-Ultra was 13 µg Cu/L, while the adult 48-h LC50 value was 1,214 µg Cu/L. Moreover, adults were highly resistant to short-term (24 h) exposures of Cutrine®-Ultra, even at much higher concentrations (4,630 µg Cu/L), while 24-h old D. polymorpha larvae showed 99% mortality after only 52 minutes of exposure to 331 µg Cu/L as Cutrine®-Ultra, a concentration well within the permitted label application. There were only marginal differences in sensitivity to CuSO4 and Cutrine®-Ultra for larvae tested after fertilization; it is possible that Cutrine®-Ultra is more toxic than CuSO4 at fertilization. Chemical management strategies targeting early larval stages of D. polymorpha are likely more cost-efficient and less prone to non-target environmental impact than strategies aimed at adults.

These costs were compared to those provided by the California and Oregon departments of transportation. Some of the differences are due to regional variations in repair and rehabilitation costs, some reflect decisions to avoid certain actions by assigning them prohibitively high costs, and others reflect modeling decisions regarding the cost of leaving an element in its current condition. For a 5-year scenario, the projected needs using the Oregon element costs were from 1.6 to 6 times higher than those based on Idaho or California element costs. Likewise the projected benefits using Oregon element costs ranged from 2.2 to 40 times higher than the benefits projected using Idaho and California element costs. A 25-year scenario indicates that Pontis’ cost-optimal priorities allowed the Network Health Index to decrease, even when a more-than-ample budget was provided.

This paper reports the development and application of a two-dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic model to simulate suspended sediment concentration distribution in a groyne field. The governing equations of flow hydrodynamic model are depth-averaged two-dimensional Reynold’s averaged momentum equations and continuity equation in which the density of sediment laden-flow varies with the concentration of suspended sediment. The depth-averaged two-dimensional convection and diffusion equation was solved to obtain the depth-averaged suspended sediment concentration. The source term is the difference between suspended sediment entrainment and deposition from bed surface. One laboratory experiment was chosen to verify the simulated flow field around a groyne, and the other to verify the suspended sediment concentration distribution in a meandering channel. Then, the model utility was demonstrated in a field case study focusing on the confluence of the Kankakee and Iroquois Rivers in Illinois, United States, to simulate the distribution of suspended sediment concentration around spur dikes. Results demonstrated that the depth-averaged, two-dimensional model can approximately simulate the flow hydrodynamic field and concentration of suspended sediment. Spur dikes can be used to effectively relocate suspended sediment in alluvial channels.

Clean means that the boundary conditions and steady state solutions are closed form expressions and the transient solutions have relatively simple additional Fourier series terms. Two-dimensional versions of these solutions are also given. The primary purpose for the solutions is to test linear and nonlinear solvers in finite difference/volume/element computer programs for accuracy and scalability using architectures ranging from PCs to parallel high-performance computers. This derivation starts from the quasi-linear assumption of relative hydraulic conductivity varying exponentially with pressure head and the separate approximation that relative hydraulic conductivity varies linearly with moisture content. This allows a transformation to be used to create a linear partial differential equation. Separation of variables and Fourier series are then used to obtain the final solution. Physically reasonable material properties are also used. A total of four solutions are given in this technical note (steady state and transient solutions for two different boundary conditions of the sample problem).

In this study, we used codon-optimized plasmid DNAs (DNA vaccines) encoding Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) to immunize rabbits for producing anti-anthrax antibodies for use in passive immunotherapy. The antisera generated with these DNA vaccines were of high titer as measured by ELISA. The antisera were also able to protect J774 macrophage cells by neutralizing the cytotoxic effect of exogenously added anthrax lethal toxin, and of the toxin released by B. anthracis (Sterne strain) spores following infection. In addition, the antisera passively protected mice against pulmonary challenge with an approximate 50 LD50 dose of B. anthracis (Sterne strain) spores. The protection in mice was obtained when the antiserum was given 1h before or 1h after challenge. We further demonstrated that IgG and F(ab′)2 components purified from anti-PA rabbit hyperimmune sera retained similar levels of neutralizing activities against both exogenously added B. anthracis lethal toxin and toxin produced by B. anthracis (Sterne strain) spores. The high titer antisera we produced will enable an immunization strategy to supplement antibiotic therapy for improving the survival of patients with anthrax.

To date, applications of radioactive fallout to trace upland sediment transport have been developed primarily on lands disturbed by agriculture, grazing, and logging. Here we use 137Cs to characterize and quantify soil erosion at the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, an undisturbed grassland in northeastern Kansas. We report on the small scale (<10 m) and landscape scale (10 to 1000 m) distribution of fallout 137Cs, and show significant variability in the concentrations and amounts of 137Cs in soils at our site. 137Cs soil concentrations and amounts typically vary by 10% to 30% on small scales, which most likely represents the spatial heterogeneity of the depositional processes. Landscape scale variability of soil 137Cs was significantly higher than small scale variability. Most notably, soils collected on convex (divergent) landforms had 137Cs inventories of 2500 to 3000 Bq m−2, which is consistent with the expected atmospheric inputs to the study area during the 1950s and 1960s. Concave landforms, however, had statistically lower inventories of 1800 to 2300 Bq m−2. The distribution of 137Cs on this undisturbed landscape contrasts significantly with distributions observed across disturbed sites, which generally have accumulations of radioactive fallout in valley bottoms. Because the upslope contributing area at each sampling point had a significant negative correlation with the soil inventory of 137Cs, we suggest that overland flow in convergent areas dominates soil erosion at Konza on time scales of decades. Very few points on our landscape had 137Cs inventories significantly above that which would be predicted from direct deposition of 137Cs on the soil surface; we conclude therefore that there is little net sediment storage on this undisturbed landscape.

The existing methods including traditional simple random sampling and kriging or cokriging variance based sampling designs can not lead to optimal sampling designs. In this study, a local variability based sampling design using a sequential Gaussian co‐simulation by combining remotely sensed and ground data is developed. This method theoretically can lead to a sampling design with variable sampling distances, that is, grid spacings that are optimal at local and global levels. The method was assessed and compared with simple random sampling in a case study in which the soil erosion ground and vegetation cover factor was sampled and mapped using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images and annual permanent ground measurements sampled from 1989 to 1995. The results show that the local variability based sampling greatly reduced the number of sampled plots and increased the cost‐efficiency for sampling in comparison to simple random sampling. The difference in cost‐efficiency between the two methods increased with increased global variation. This method can also be applied to analyse the sufficiency of a permanent plot sample and further provide information for additional sampling.

The absence of any inhibitory activity when TDG was present in assays of pure enzymes, however, led us to investigate the possibility for metabolic activation of TDG to inhibitory compound(s) by cytosolic enzymes. We have successfully shown that mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) rapidly oxidize TDG in vitro, but the classic spectrophotometric techniques for following this reaction provided no information on the identity of TDG intermediates and products. The use of proton NMR to monitor the oxidative reaction with structural confirmation by independent synthesis allowed us to establish the ultimate product, 2-hydroxyethylthioacetic acid, and to identify an intermediate equilibrium mixture consisting of 2-hydroxyethylthioacetaldehyde, 2-hydroxyethylthioacetaldehyde hydrate and the cyclic 1,4-oxathian-2-ol. The intermediate nature of this mixture was determined spectrophotometrically when it was shown to drive the production of NADH when added to ADH and NAD.

However, identifying those portions of desert playas that are defined as either three-parameter wetlands or Waters of the United States (WoUS) in the Clean Water Act (CWA), and thus under the jurisdiction of Federal agencies charged with enforcing the CWA, is sometimes problematic. Although the WoUS definition specifically includes playas, the guidance for playa delineation is not as highly developed as that for wetlands. Delineating WoUS on desert playas involves determining the Ordinary High Water Mark. Field experience has demonstrated that the indicators for Ordinary High Water on desert playas have not been fully identified nor have they been associated with ponding that represents the limits of Ordinary High Water. This report discusses the distribution of indicators above, below, and at the Ordinary High Water Mark. Fifteen playa features are identified for possible delineation use and are rated for reliability and their relationship to the Ordinary High Water position.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 336 EP - 348 SN - 02775212 AB - The flood pulse of the Illinois River (Illinois, USA) has been distorted and the floodplain extensively modified as a result of human activity. This activity has changed the historic flood regime from moderate, late winter-early spring flood pulses, followed by a summer drawdown period, to a chaotic hydrology with floods occurring throughout the year. Boltonia decurrens (Torrey and Gray, Wood), federally listed as a threatened species, is endemic to the Illinois River floodplain. The species occurs as a large metapopulation; however, flood regime and habitat alteration have substantially reduced the size and number of populations within the metapopulation. We developed a geographic information system (GIS) to analyze habitat and geospatial population dynamics for B. decurrens. We analyzed floodplain land cover, identified specific wetland patches supporting B. decurrens, quantified habitat availability, habitat pattern, and analyzed the distribution of populations and individuals by wetland type and flood regime for the census period 1984-2001. Our results show that floodplains of the navigation pools analyzed were dominated by row crop agriculture and forested wetlands with five land-cover types accounting for >90% of floodplain land-cover. Distribution analyses indicate that more populations and larger populations of B. decurrens occur on non-forested wetlands than forested wetlands. Habitat has been reduced for the species, and remaining habitat is highly fragmented with reduced connectivity. Patch occupancy rates were ≤ 1% for each pool and for all pools combined. Colonization and extinction rates fluctuated widely during this study, and there were no significant differences in the means of these rates for each individual pool and for all pools combined. Although during this study, there was relative stability between colonization and extinction rates, low patch occupancy combined with habitat reduction and reduced connectivity leaves the species vulnerable to extinction.

A total of 368 U.S. Army soldiers have completed a baseline survey of health and work factors at their first visit for back pain. A multivariable regression and structural equation modeling were used to describe the relationships among ergonomic exposure, job stress, smoking, and their ability to predict repeat clinic visits. The path analysis indicated that higher levels of ergonomic exposures were directly related to higher levels of general distress. An effort to directly impact emotional distress by intervening at the levels of ergonomic risks and psychological workplace stress should prove useful in the management of acute low back pain.

While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved of its use, questions arise regarding the model's simplicity. The objective of this research was to compare STREAM with the more commonly utilized Enhanced Stream Water Quality Model (QUAL2E). The comparison involved a statistical evaluation procedure based on sensitivity analyses, input probability distribution functions, and Monte Carlo simulation with site-specific data from a 46-mile (74-km) reach of the Big Black River in central Mississippi. Site specific probability distribution functions were derived from measured rates of reaeration, sediment oxygen demand, photosynthesis, and respiration. Both STREAM and QUAL2E reasonably predicted daily average dissolved oxygen (DO) based on a comparison of output probability distributions with observed DO. Observed DO was consistently within 90 percent confidence intervals of model predictions. The STREAM approach generally overpredicted while QUAL2E generally matched observed DO. Using the more commonly assumed lognormal distribution as opposed to a Weibull distribution for two of the sensitive input parameters resulted in minimal differences in the statistical evaluations. The QUAL2E approach had distinct advantages over STREAM in simulating the growth cycle of algae.

The assumption behind traditional flood risk analysis is that climate is stationary, but anthropogenic climate change and better knowledge of interdecadal climate variability challenge the validity of the assumption. This paper reviews several alternative statistical models for flood risk estimation that do not assume climate stationarity. Some models require subjective judgement or presuppose an understanding of the causes of the underlying non-stationarity, which is problematic given our current knowledge of the interaction of climate and floods. Although currently out of favor, hydrometeorological models have been used for engineering design as alternatives to statistical models and could be adapted to different climate conditions. Floodplain managers should recognize the potentially greater uncertainty in flood risk estimation due to climate change and variability and try to incorporate the uncertainties into floodplain management decision-making and regulation.

SEA, a 27 kDa monomeric protein, is encoded by the entA gene. We have developed two real-time fluorogenic PCR assays for the detection of nucleic acid sequences in entA. The assays are useful in detecting and identifying strains of S. aureus that produce SEA and can serve a confirmatory role in determining the presence of SEA in food samples. The assays were tested in two real-time PCR formats, using either dye-labeled DNA probes corresponding to each primer set that are degraded by the 5′ exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase, or a PCR master mix that contains the DNA-binding dye SYBR Green. In both formats the assays have a limit of detection of between 1 and 13 copies of a S. aureus genome that contains a copy of entA. Neither assay cross-reacted with genomic DNA isolated from other strains of S. aureus or other species.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 493 EP - 500 SN - 08958378 AB - Respiratory disturbances play a central role in chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) induced toxicity; they are the starting point of mass casualty and the major cause of death. We developed a microinstillation technique of inhalation exposure to nerve agent VX and assessed lung injury by biochemical analysis of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Here we demonstrate that normal guinea pig BALF has a significant amount of cholinesterase activity. Treatment with Huperzine A, a specific inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), showed that a minor fraction of BALF cholinesterase is AChE. Furthermore, treatment with tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide ( iso -OMPA), a specific inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), inhibited more than 90% of BChE activity, indicating the predominance of BChE in BALF. A predominance of BChE expression in the lung lavage was seen in both genders. Substrate specific inhibition indicated that nearly 30% of the cholinesterase in lung tissue homogenate is AChE. BALF and lung tissue AChE and BChE activities were strongly inhibited in guinea pigs exposed for 5 min to 70.4 and 90.4 µ g/m 3 VX and allowed to recover for 15 min. In contrast, BALF AChE activity was increased 63% and 128% and BChE activity was increased 77% and 88% after 24 h of recovery following 5 min inhalation exposure to 70.4 µ g/m 3 and 90.4 mg/m 3 VX, respectively. The increase in BALF AChE and BChE activity was dose dependent. Since BChE is synthesized in the liver and present in the plasma, an increase in BALF indicates endothelial barrier injury and leakage of plasma into lung interstitium. Therefore, a measure of increased levels of AChE and BChE in the lung lavage can be used to determine the chronology of barrier damage as well as the extent of lung injury following exposure to chemical warfare nerve agents.

Saturated soil column tests were conducted to observe the dissolution behavior of individual components (RDX, HMX, and TNT) from two HE formulations (Comp B and C4). HE particles dissolved readily, with higher velocities yielding higher dissolution rates, higher mass transfer coefficients, and lower effluent concentrations. Effluent concentrations were below solubility limits for all components at superficial velocities of 10–50 cm day−1. Under continuous flow at 50 cm day−1, RDX dissolution rates from Comp B and C4 were 34.6 and 97.6 μg h−1 cm−2 (based on initial RDX surface area), respectively, significantly lower than previously reported dissolution rates. Cycling between flow and no-flow conditions had a small effect on the dissolution rates and effluent concentrations; however, TNT dissolution from Comp B was enhanced under intermittent-flow conditions. A model that includes advection, dispersion, and film transfer resistance was developed to estimate the steady-state effluent concentrations.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/05/15/ VL - 18 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 437 EP - 448 SN - 08958378 AB - A microinstillation technique of inhalation exposure was utilized to assess lung injury following chemical warfare nerve agent VX [methylphosphonothioic acid S -(2-[bis(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl) O -ethyl ester] exposure in guinea pigs. Animals were anesthetized using Telazol-meditomidine, gently intubated, and VX was aerosolized using a microcatheter placed 2 cm above the bifurcation of the trachea. Different doses (50.4 µg/m 3 , 70.4 µ g/m m3 , 90.4 µg/m m3 ) of VX were administered at 40 pulses/min for 5 min. Dosing of VX was calculated by the volume of aerosol produced per 200 pulses and diluting the agent accordingly. Although the survival rate of animals exposed to different doses of VX was similar to the controls, nearly a 20% weight reduction was observed in exposed animals. After 24 h of recovery, the animals were euthanized and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed with oxygen free saline. BAL was centrifuged and separated into BAL fluid (BALF) and BAL cells (BALC) and analyzed for indication of lung injury. The edema by dry/wet weight ratio of the accessory lobe increased 11% in VX-treated animals. BAL cell number was increased in VX-treated animals compared to controls, independent of dosage. Trypan blue viability assay indicated an increase in BAL cell death in 70.4 µg/m m3 and 90.4 µg/m m3 VX-exposed animals. Differential cell counting of BALC indicated a decrease in macrophage/monocytes in VX-exposed animals. The total amount of BAL protein increased gradually with the exposed dose of VX and was highest in animals exposed to 90.4 µg/m m3 , indicating that this dose of VX caused lung injury that persisted at 24 h. In addition, histopathology results also suggest that inhalation exposure to VX induces acute lung injury.

Because of the need for training with live ammunition, control or cleanup of these contaminants may be necessary for the continued use of these firing ranges. One inexpensive approach for managing sites exposed to these contaminants is the use phytoremedation, particularly using common or native grasses. In this study, the uptake of NG and 2,4-DNT from water by three common grasses, yellow nutsedge (Cyperus escalantus), yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca), and common rush (Juncus effusus), was investigated using hydroponic reactors. Rapid removal from solution by all grasses was observed, with yellow nutsedge removal rates being the highest. NG or 2,4-DNT accumulated in the tissues in all of the plants, except yellow foxtail did not accumulate NG. Higher concentrations were observed in killed roots, demonstrating the presence of plant-based enzymes actively transforming the contaminants. Yellow nutsedge was also grown in 2,4-DNT spiked soil. Significant uptake into the plants roots and leaves was observed and concentrations in the soil decreased rapidly, although 2,4-DNT concentration also decreased in the unplanted controls. In summary, the three grasses tested appear to be good candidates for phytoremediation of propellant contamination.

A substantial reduction was achieved. Of the three variables, filter depth, media size and filtration rate, media size had the most significant influence. Smaller media size favored higher removal efficiency of all targeted matter. There was no apparent relationship between removal efficiency and filter depth. Higher filtration rate resulted in lower removal efficiency and higher head loss. Compared with conventional granular media filters, crumb rubber filters required less backwash, and developed lower head loss. Consequently crumb rubber filters could be run for a longer time or allow a higher filtration rate. The results also indicate that the crumb rubber filtration alone did not achieve the target removal of invasive species. However, crumb rubber filtration could potentially be used as a primary treatment technology to enhance the efficiency of a secondary treatment process (e.g., disinfection).

It gives suggestions for the experiment that the interaction mechanism leading to laser-induced retinal alteration can be thermal or non-thermal, depending upon the wavelength of the laser radiation and the duration of the exposure. The experiment was done on rhesus monkeys. The effect of exposure duration on the interaction mechanism was investigated and was experimentally measured. The retinal injury thresholds in the rhesus monkey for exposure to laser radiation was at wavelengths of 441.6, 457.9, 476.5 and 496.5nm with the exposure durations of 0.1,1, 5,16, and 100s. Tissue response was observed via ophthalmoscope 1h and 48h post exposure and thermal and non-thermal damage thresholds were obtained depending upon the exposure duration. All these data are in agreement with data, which was recorded previously. The research provides evidence for the assumption that the laser-induced retinal damage exposures are shorter than 5s in duration.

The solar climate in Northern Europe is classified in this paper as being either stable, or highly variable, due to stochastic cloud cover inducing fluctuations of the solar irradiance. In general, solar radiation exhibits both positive and negative increments in the radiation during any period. The distribution functions of these increments with respect to their magnitude and duration are investigated, as well the distribution functions of stable intervals during generally variable radiation. The distribution functions are found to be a superposition of two exponential functions with different exponents, which depend on the magnitude of the radiation increments.

T1 - Kinetics of the NH reaction with H2 and reassessment of HNO formation from NH + CO2, H2O JO - Combustion & Flame JF - Combustion & Flame Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 145 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 543 EP - 551 SN - 00102180 AB - Abstract: The reaction of ground-state NH with H2 has been studied in a high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) reactor. The radicals were generated by the 2-photon 193 nm photolysis of NH3, following the decay of the originally produced radicals. Laser-induced fluorescence on the transition at 336 nm was used to monitor the progress of the reaction. We obtained , with precision limits varying from 12 to 33% and corresponding accuracy levels from 23 to 39%. This result is in excellent agreement with that of Rohrig and Wagner [Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 975] and the data sets can be combined to yield . Starting with this agreement, it is argued that their rate coefficients for NH + CO2 could not be significantly in error [Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 975]. This, combined with models of several combustion systems, indicates that HNO + CO cannot be the products, contrary to their suggestion [Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 975]. Ab initio calculations have been performed which confirm this conclusion by showing the barriers leading to these products to be too high compared to the measured activation energies. The calculations indicate the likelihood of formation of adducts, of low stability. These then may undergo further reactions. The NH + H2O reaction is briefly discussed and it is similarly argued that HNO + H2 cannot be the products, as had been previously suggested.

Ninety-three percent of recipients developed IgG antibodies to Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) after two doses, and 100% were seropositive after dose #3. Geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of IgG to PA measured before and after each dose were significantly lower after injection #3 (peak GMC=146.65μg/mL, trough GMC=15.16μg/mL) than after injections #4 (peak GMC=430.46μg/mL, trough GMC=94.57μg/mL), #5 (peak GMC=415.05μg/mL, trough GMC=81.94μg/mL), or #6 (peak GMC=401.16μg/mL, trough GMC=96.19μg/mL) (p ≤0.0001 for each); but not between injections #4 and #5, #5 and #6, or #4 and #6 (p ≥0.7923 for each). Decay rates for IgG to PA were significantly faster after injection #3 (half life [T 1/2]=39.21 days) than after injections #4 (T 1/2 =72.03 days), #5 (T 1/2 =70.14 days), and #6 (T 1/2 =74.59 days) (p ≤0.0282 for each). Toxin neutralizing assay (TNA) antibody patterns generally paralleled those for IgG to PA. The 6-month dose in the AVA primary series appears to be critical in sustaining IgG to PA concentrations in a substantial proportion of recipients.

MMs are advantageous because they use small tissue masses (ca. 100mg), and maintain sensitivity through reducing final extract volume (traditionally 1ml) by an order of magnitude or more (40μl—PCBs; 100μl—PAHs). Procedural losses occurred in the MMs’ combined cleanup/primary evaporation step (19% PAHs; 6% PCBs), and the final extract concentration (14% PAHs; 22% PCBs). The PAH MM performed comparably to the TM. Although most PCBs had recoveries >50%, the PCB MM generally yielded lower recoveries than the TM. Average method detection limits were 0.6μg/kg (TM) and 1.0μg/kg (MM) for PCBs and 25.7μg/kg (TM) and 27.7μg/kg (MM) for PAHs. MMs described for PCB and PAH tissue samples are potentially viable alternatives to TMs, and could lead to cost savings in bioaccumulation/toxicity tests.

[2003. Impact of bubble and free surface oxygen transfer on diffused aeration systems. Water Res 37, 1890–1904] mass transfer model. Two empirical characterization equations are developed for k L a b and k L a s, correlating the coefficients to air flow, Q a, diffuser depth, h d, cross-sectional area, A cs, and volume, V. The characterization equations indicate that the bubble transfer coefficient, k L a b, increases with increasing gas flow rate and depth, and decreases with increasing water volume. For fine bubble diffusers, k L a b is approximately six times greater than k L a b for coarse bubble diffusers. The surface transfer coefficient, k L A s, increases with increasing gas flow rate and diffuser depth. The characterization equations make it possible to predict the gas transfer that will occur across bubble interfaces and across the free surface with a bubble plume at depths up to 32m and with variable air discharge in deep tanks and reservoirs.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 90 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 241 EP - 249 SN - 00179078 AB - The growth of commercially available, simultaneous multi-wavelength laser systems has increased the likelihood of possible ocular hazard. For example, many systems utilize frequency multiplying methods to produce combinations of visible, near-infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths. Unfortunately, very little data exists to substantiate the current methods for estimating hazards from simultaneous lasing. To properly assess the retinal hazards from these wavelengths, the retinal effects of 10-s laser irradiation from 532 and 860 nm were determined in non-human primates for four different relative dosage combinations of these wavelengths. This pair of wavelengths represents the typical problem of a visible-wavelength laser combined with an in-band, infrared wavelength that is not as well focused at the retina-a situation difficult to address. To add confidence to the experimental results obtained, a theoretical thermodynamic model was developed to predict the minimal damage threshold for simultaneous wavelengths at 1 h post exposure. The new model calculations and the data obtained are compared with results from one currently accepted method of predicting relative exposure limits from multi-wavelength systems. In addition, the current ANSI-Z136-2000 standard was used to compute the combined MPEs for comparison with measured visible lesion thresholds. A total of 12 eyes were exposed using four different ratios of power levels (532/860 power rations) to determine the contribution to the damage levels from each wavelength. The experimental data were analyzed using probit analysis at both 1-h and 24-h post exposure to determine the minimum-visible-lesion (MVL) thresholds at ED50 values, and these thresholds at 24 h varied from 5.6 mW to 17 mW total intraocular power.

JO - Journal of Applied Aquaculture JF - Journal of Applied Aquaculture Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 18 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 79 SN - 10454438 AB - Recirculating aquaculture offers an economic potential for successful fish farming requiring limited resources. However, this form of aquaculture may present a potential unacceptable health risk for the fish. Pathogenic microorganisms may be incorporated into biofilms found in aquaculture systems, causing recurring exposure to disease agents. The presence of E. coli, modified to express a green fluorescent protein (GFP E. coli) was used to evaluate bacterial incorporation into biofilms in recirculating aquaculture systems. Disks of Buna-N rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated PVC, glass, fiberglass, and stainless steel disks, were placed in aquariums stocked with Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Tanks were inoculated with a known amount of GFP E. coli and samples taken on days 1, 3, 7, and 15 post-inoculation. Within 24 hours post-inoculation bacterial presence was observed on all materials. The number of organisms decreased by day three, but remained consistent during the remaining period. There was no significant difference in bacterial presence between the different materials studied. This study demonstrated that bacteria can become incorporated into a biofilm with the potential for pathogen colonization of biofilms in aquaculture systems.

T1 - Quasi-hydrodynamic lubrication effect of clay particles on sand grain erosion JO - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science JF - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 67 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 161 EP - 169 SN - 02727714 AB - Abstract: Minor changes in the mass physical properties of submerged sand beds can have significant consequences relative to bed stability against erosion. To examine the effect of small amounts of clay-sized particles in bed pore water on the critical shear stress τ c for the erosion of sand grains, flume experiments were carried out on the erosion of quartz sand beds impregnated with clay particles. Starting with no clay, as the clay mass fraction ψ was increased, τ c was found to decrease below the value for pure sand τ co at ψ = ψ m, then reverted to τ co at ψ = ψ r and continued to increase above τ co as ψ was increased further. Post-experimental analysis suggests that ψ r is the pore space-filling fine sediment fraction above which sand erosion is significantly influenced by clay. In the range of ψ ≥ ψ m, slider-bearing type lubrication due to the viscosity of the clay-laden interstitial fluid appears to govern the dependence of τ c on ψ, mimicking Petroff''s law of thick-film lubrication. When ψ < ψ m, as ψ decreases lubrication is increasingly curtailed by grain asperities, and τ c reverts ultimately to τ co at ψ =0. An equation relating τ c to ψ is proposed in analogy with the quasi-hydrodynamic Stribeck function for lubrication. The observed effect of clay particles appears to be significant enough to require its consideration in coastal and estuarine sediment transport modeling. It may also be a factor in the estimation of bed stability when biological activity in the benthic boundary layer introduces fine particles in clean sand beds.

T1 - Effects of dietary phytase on body weight gain, body composition and bone strength in growing rats fed a low-zinc diet JO - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry JF - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 17 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 190 EP - 196 SN - 09552863 AB - Abstract: Phytic acid, a major phosphorous storage compound found in foodstuffs, is known to form insoluble complexes with nutritionally essential minerals, including zinc (Zn). Phytases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of these minerals from phytic acid, improving their bioavailability. The objective of the present study was to determine the ability of dietary phytase to affect body weight, body composition, and bone strength in growing rats fed a high phytic acid, low Zn diet. Rats (n = 20) were fed either a control (AIN-93) or phytase supplemented (Natuphos, BASF, 1,500 phytase units (FTU)/kg) diet for a period of 8 weeks. Phytase supplementation resulted in increased (P<.05) bone and plasma Zn, but no change in plasma inorganic phosphorous or bone levels of Ca, Fe, or Mg. The addition of phytase to the diets resulted in a 22.4% increase (P<.05) in body weight at the end of the study as compared with rats fed a control diet. Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed that phytase supplementation resulted in increase lean body mass (LBM, P<.001) and increased bone mineral content (BMC, P<.001) as compared with feeding the control diet. Bone studies indicated that femurs and tibias from phytase supplemented rats had greater mass (P<.05) and were stronger (P<.05) than rats fed the control diet. This data suggest that the addition of phytase to low Zn diets results in improved Zn status, which may be responsible for beneficial effects on growth, body composition, and bone strength.

It was hypothesized that increasing the solution temperature may accelerate the reduction of perchlorate by overcoming the high activation energy barrier. Results from microwave heating study showed that 98% of aqueous perchlorate was removed in 1h at 200°C. Similar results observed in control experiments with a block heater indicated that the enhancement in the extent and rate of perchlorate removal by elemental iron was mostly due to heat energy at high temperature. The rapid and complete reduction of perchlorate by elemental iron at elevated temperatures suggests that iron reduction process at elevated temperature may be an option to consider for complete removal of perchlorate from industrial discharges.

T1 - Forecasting 3-D fish movement behavior using a Eulerian–Lagrangian–agent method (ELAM) JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2006/02/15/ VL - 192 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 197 EP - 223 SN - 03043800 AB - Abstract: We describe a Eulerian–Lagrangian–agent method (ELAM) for mechanistically decoding and forecasting 3-D movement patterns of individual fish responding to abiotic stimuli. A ELAM model is an individual-based model (IBM) coupling a (1) Eulerian framework to govern the physical, hydrodynamic, and water quality domains, (2) Lagrangian framework to govern the sensory perception and movement trajectories of individual fish, and (3) agent framework to govern the behavior decisions of individuals. The resulting ELAM framework is well suited for describing large-scale patterns in hydrodynamics and water quality as well as the much smaller scales at which individual fish make movement decisions. This ability of ELAM models to simultaneously handle dynamics at multiple scales allows them to realistically represent fish movements within aquatic systems. We introduce ELAMs with an application to aid in the design and operation of fish passage systems in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Individual virtual fish make behavior decisions about every 2.0s. These are sub-meter to meter-scale movements based on hydrodynamic stimuli obtained from a hydraulic model. Movement rules and behavior coefficients are systematically adjusted until the virtual fish movements approximate the observed fish. The ELAM model introduced in this paper is called the Numerical Fish Surrogate. It facilitated the development of a mechanistic biological-based hypothesis describing observed 3-D movement and passage response of downstream migrating juvenile salmon at 3 hydropower dams on 2 rivers with a total of 20 different structural and operational configurations. The Numerical Fish Surrogate is presently used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and public utility districts during project planning and design to forecast juvenile salmon movement and passage response to alternative bypass structures.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 153 SN - 08958378 AB - The current studies estimated effective (miosis) concentrations of the nerve agents' sarin (GB) and cyclosarin (GF) as a function of exposure duration in the Gottingen minipig and determined dependency of the median effective dosage (ECT50) over time. Male and female Gottingen minipigs were exposed to various concentrations of vapor GB or GF for 10, 60, or 180 min. Infrared images of the pig's pupil before, during, and after nerve agent exposure were captured digitally and pupil area was quantified. An animal was classified “positive” for miosis if there was a 50% reduction in pupil area (as compared to baseline) at any time during or after the GB or GF exposure. Maximum likelihood estimation was used on the resulting quantal data to calculate ECT50 (miosis) values, with approximate 95% confidence intervals, for each of the six gender–exposure duration groups. As a group, male minipigs were significantly more sensitive to the pupil constricting effects of GF than were female minipigs. In male minipigs, GF is approximately equipotent to GB for 60-min exposures and more potent for 10- and 180-min exposures. In the female minipig GF is slightly more potent than GB for 10-min exposures but then progressively becomes less potent over the 60- and 180-min durations of exposure. The values of the toxic load exponents were essentially independent of the model fits used: 1.32 ± 0.18 for GB exposures and 1.60 ± 0.22 for GF exposures. Since neither of these intervals overlaps 1, Haber's rule is not an appropriate time-dependence model for these data sets.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 90 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 3 EP - 10 SN - 00179078 AB - The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) established eye-safe exposure limits for laser light based on estimates of the 50% exposure dose (ED50) for retinal damage in animals. The ED50 has not been determined for continuous-wave near-infrared (NIR) light, as may be used in instruments for spectroscopic analysis of the eye. The purpose of this study is to determine the ED50 Of 785-nm light delivered by a Raman spectroscopy instrument the retinas of pigmented rabbits, and to compare that ED50 to the ICNIRP estimates. Light of varying power was focused into the anterior chambers of rabbits for 4, 20, or 300 s. Estimates of spot size on the retina were determined by modifying the schematic rabbit eye with actual axial length and refractive error measurements. Masked examiners determined retinal burns from fundus photographs and fluorescein angiograms made immediately after exposure and again 48-72 h later. Thirty-five of 86 exposed eyes had retinal burns. In 12 these the burn was not visible until 48-72 h. In 6 the burn Was visible on color photographs, but not on fluorescein angiography. The ED50 retinal power density from probit analysis was 14,513 mW cm-2, 10,369 mW cm-2, and 5,237 mW cm-2 for 4-s, 20-s, and 300-s exposures, respectively. Thus, the ED50 for retinal burns from 785-nm light is approximately 7 and 7.5 times the ICNIRP permitted limits for 4- and 20-s exposures, and 5.6 times the limit for 300-s exposures. This is consistent with the ICNIRP intention to set power limits several times less than ED50.

JO - Estonian Journal of Engineering JF - Estonian Journal of Engineering Y1 - 2007/03// VL - 13 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 26 EP - 36 SN - 17366038 AB - Northern European regions such as Estonia at a 60° latitude receive yearly about 980 kWh·m-2 of solar radiation. These low insolation levels motivate inclusion into solar collectors a tracking mechanism to increase the yield. Classical active tracking is complicated and energy intensive, negating tracking benefits for PV modules and thermal flat-plate collectors. In this paper, the performance of PV modules with daily two-positional tracking is studied. The positions are symmetrical about the north-south axis, corresponding to the positions of the sun in the morning and in the afternoon. The tracking drive is simple and requires a minimum energy input during the brief daily triggering of the movement. Results indicate that the seasonal energy yield is increased by 10–20% over the yield from a fixed south-facing collector, tilted at an optimal angle. The results are based on long-term solar data, measured at the Tartu-Tõravere Meteorological Station in Estonia, and have been confirmed with experiments in summer 2004 at Tallinn University of Technology.

One tool that has been used to support environmental decision-making is comparative risk assessment (CRA), but CRA lacks a structured method for arriving at an optimal project alternative. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) provides better-supported techniques for the comparison of project alternatives based on decision matrices, and it also provides structured methods for the incorporation of project stakeholders'' opinions in the ranking of alternatives. We argue that the inherent uncertainty in our ability to predict ecosystem evolution and response to different management policies requires shifting from optimization-based management to an adaptive management paradigm. This paper brings together a multidisciplinary review of existing decision-making approaches at regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe and synthesizes state-of-the-art research in CRA, MCDA, and adaptive management methods applicable to environmental remediation and restoration projects. We propose a basic decision analytic framework that couples MCDA with adaptive management and its public participation and stakeholder value elicitation methods, and we demonstrate application of the framework to a realistic case study based on contaminated sediment management issues in the New York/New Jersey Harbor.

Kirchhoff’s approximation to Green’s theorem is applied to model the three-dimensional scattering interaction of the ultrasound wave field with the vibrating rough surface. The model incorporates the beam patterns of both the transmitting and receiving ultrasound transducers and the statistical properties of the rough surface. Two methods are applied to the ultrasound system for estimating displacement and velocity amplitudes of an oscillating surface: incoherent Doppler shift spectra and coherent interferometry. Motion of the vibrometer over the randomly rough surface leads to time-dependent scattering noise that causes a randomization of the received signal spectrum. Simulations with the model indicate that surface displacement and velocity estimation are highly dependent upon the scan velocity and projected wavelength of the ultrasound vibrometer relative to the roughness height standard deviation and correlation length scales of the rough surface. The model is applied to determine limiting scan speeds for ultrasound vibrometer measuring ground displacements arising from acoustic or seismic excitation to be used in acoustic landmine confirmation sensing.

It employs the idea that the propagation medium may be represented as random with a known spatial covariance function. In this paper, a generalization of the stochastic inverse for acoustic travel-time tomography of the atmosphere is developed. The atmospheric inhomogeneities are considered to be random, not only in space but also in time. This allows one to incorporate tomographic data (travel times) obtained at different times to estimate the state of the propagation medium at any given time, by using spatial-temporal covariance functions of atmospheric turbulence. This increases the amount of data without increasing the number of sources and/or receivers. A numerical simulation for two-dimensional travel-time acoustic tomography of the atmosphere is performed in which travel times between sources to receivers are calculated, given the temperature and wind velocity fields. These travel times are used as data for reconstructing the original fields using both the ordinary stochastic inversion and the proposed time-dependent stochastic inversion algorithms. The time-dependent stochastic inversion produces a good match to the specified temperature and wind velocity fields, with average errors about half those of the ordinary stochastic inverse.

Pianists and keyboard players are at risk for entrapment neuropathies in the upper extremities and are sensitive to mild neurologic deficits. The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine the presence of median and ulnar neutopathies in both upper extremities of university pianists. Nineteen volunteer male and female pianists (ages 18 to 33 yrs) were recruited from the Belmont University School of Music and the Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music. Subjects completed a history, interview, and physical examination, and nerve conduction status of the median and ulnar nerves of both upper extremities was obtained by performing motor, sensory, and F-wave (central) nerve conduction studies. These subjects had normal upper extremity neural and musculoskeletal function based on extensive evaluation, including a history and physical examination. When comparing the subjects' nerve conduction study (NCS) values with a chart of normal NCS values, all electrophysiologic variables were within normal limits for motor, sensory, and central (F-wave) conduction values. However, comparison of median and ulnar motor and sensory latencies in the same and opposite hand demonstrated that 3 of the 19 pianists (16%) had early evidence of median neuropathy at or distal to the wrist. The other 16 subjects demonstrated normal comparison studies of the median and ulnar nerves in both upper extremities.

This commentary takes exception to certain statements and conclusions in King's article, and in the process, sketches a standard model of military group cohesion. This model is based on social integration in the military and is composed of both primary group cohesion (peer and leader bonding) and secondary group cohesion (organizational and institutional bonding). The essence of peer bonding is given as social relationships based on trust and teamwork. The standard model is presented as a tool to sensitize ethnographers about what to look for when observing military interactions and to help them interpret what they see.

Why They Fight seeks to investigate combat motivation--not battlefield performance. Why They Fight examines why soldiers continue in battle despite obvious risk to personal safety. Referencing a well-established body of literature and using a methodology appropriate for analyzing combat motivation, Why They Fight concludes that today's soldiers, just as those in the past, fight for each other. Why They Fight also reports, however, that today's soldiers are motivated in combat by notions of freedom and democracy.

The idea that behavioral and social scientists may test the robustness of their theories by studying the same phenomenon across in extremis settings is explored. Research involving human participants conducted in safe, peaceful settings will not necessarily generalize to combat; combat findings may differ from those developed elsewhere. The appropriate scientific approach is to replicate and extend, in the combat context, findings already well established in peacetime work.

This article applies Cottey. Edmonds, and Forster's thesis of first- and second generation civil-military relations to the protectorate of Bosnia-Herzegovina. It argues that in the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina, this agenda does not occur in a loosely overlapping fashion with the initiation of the first-generation agenda providing the basis upon which the second-generation agenda can be implemented. Rather, the reverse occurs: the second-generation, capacity-building agenda allows for the construction of state-level institutions in the defense and security sphere--not least a functioning ministry of defense--the hallmark of the first-generation macroinstitutional structural reform agenda. This approach may well prove to be appropriate for other protectorates, and it is of rising strategic significance in an age of preemptive action against failed and rogue states, regime change, and democratization.

AB - In this article, we propose a new construct titled moral potency and its component elements: moral courage, moral efficacy, and moral ownership. We propose that moral potency is a critical factor in developing leaders who have the conation to act on their moral judgments and behave as leaders of character. Furthermore, we offer a new measure and preliminary findings across 2 studies to assess the dimensions of moral potency. Finally, we offer suggestions for developing moral potency and each of its components, as well as suggestions for future avenues for research and practice.

Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed.

Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure.

AB - The U.S. Army has focused on developing leader competencies in order to promote adaptability for asymmetric warfare. Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

Soldiers exposed to traumatic stress conditions reported significantly elevated psychological symptoms. Both cognitive appraisal styles and mood states were related to trait resilience. Both appraisal and mood mediated the relationship between trait resilience and psychological adjustment.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Continuous gradual change is often difficult to detect, although it may be easy to detect the difference between the initial and end state if directly compared. Two experiments examined people’s ability to detect gradual changes in icon position on a situation awareness map. People observed sequences of icon moves that consisted of ten .9-mm colinear moves or five 8.75-mm colinear moves and reported when they noticed a change. The relatively small moves were less likely to be detected than the relatively large moves; however, an entire sequence of the .9 mm moves was rarely missed. Green icon moves were significantly less likely to be detected than blue or yellow icon moves. This may have been due to the stimulus features of the icons or those features in interaction with the map background. Various methods that might assist icon change detection are discussed.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Videogames are increasingly being used for military training. One assumption is that the majority of soldiers play videogames regularly; however, research by Orvis, Horn, and Belanich (2009) found that only approximately 40% of U.S. Military Academy cadets reported moderate to heavy game-play. Given that cadets may be a special population, this research examines the frequency of videogame usage across the U.S. Army. Results indicate that fewer than 43% of over 10,000 soldiers surveyed play videogames at least weekly. Junior enlisted soldiers report the highest frequency (51–59%), whereas senior enlisted/officer ranks play much less (11–37%). Implications for utilizing serious videogames for military training are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

The few extant studies showed that in-theater and shortly after returning from deployment, reserve and active duty personnel had similar rates of PTSD and related symptoms. Sometime after deployment, reserve personnel reported higher rates of PTSD and related symptoms than active duty personnel. A work stress model is used to develop several possible explanations of findings, having implications for practices to reduce stress symptoms among reservists and for improving research and theory of future studies examining PTSD and related symptoms among reservists.

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II football players (n = 58) were divided into low-strength (LS, 1RM <275 lb, n = 23) and high-strength (HS, 1RM > or =275 lb, n = 35) groups based on initial 1RM bench press. Maximal repetitions to failure (RTF) were performed with a relative (60, 70, 80, and 90% of 1RM) and absolute load (185 lb for players with 1RM <275 lb; 225 lb for players with 1RM > or =275 lb) at pre- and post-training. Following training (n = 58), there was a significant increase in 1RM bench press (22.8 +/- 12.0 lb) and body mass (3.7 +/- 10 lb). There was no change in the number of repetitions performed (RTF) during relative load testing following training. However, RTF during absolute load testing was increased. Relative and absolute load work capacity (reps x load) increased with training, but there was no relationship between the change in work capacity and the changes in muscular strength. Predicted 1RMs were better at lower repetitions (3-5 RM, >85% 1RM) than at higher repetitions (>6RM, < or =80% 1RM) at both pre-and post-training. In conclusion, changes in muscular strength associated with the off-season training program used herein appear to have little effect on work capacity or prediction of 1RM using submaximal loads. For repetition predictions to accurately track changes following resistance training, the test load must be relatively high (>85% 1RM) and the repetitions low (< or =5 reps).

RECENT FINDINGS: Epidemiological observations and clinical findings have strengthened the concept that both nutritional deficiencies and nutritional excesses impair the gastrointestinal response(s) and alter susceptibility to inflammation and other diseases. The interaction of micronutrient intake, biochemical indicators of nutritional status, and four specific gastrointestinal inflammation states are reviewed. These conditions include celiac disease and concomitant micronutrient deficiencies resulting from the sustained adherence to a gluten-free diet; micronutrient nutrition as an important determinant of immunity for two major types of inflammatory bowel disease: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease; and HIV/AIDS-related diarrhea and concomitant micronutrient deficiencies which may be exacerbated by the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy. SUMMARY: For each inflammation 'state', enhancement of micronutrient status can improve immunocompetance and minimize therapeutic side-effects. The impact of single-micronutrient deficiencies on immune responses, and the possible impact of uncorrected micronutrient status are discussed.

Data were obtained from 26 combat-experienced medics. Volunteers were briefed on the medical monitoring system. They then completed a questionnaire on background medical treatment experience, provided drawings on how and what information should be displayed on the GUI screens for use on a personal digital assistant, and participated in focus group sessions with four to seven medics per group to obtain group consensus on what information the GUI screens should contain. Detailed displays on seven screens provide the medical and situational awareness information medics need for triage decisions and for early processing of a casualty. The created GUI screens are a combination of object-based and text-based information using a color-coded system. Medics believed the information displayed with these GUI designs would improve treatment of casualties on the battlefield.

This new method advances our previous work in two important ways. First, it enables model customization to start as soon as the first performance measurement from an individual becomes available. This was achieved by optimally combining the performance information obtained from the individual's performance measurements with a priori performance information using a Bayesian framework, while retaining the strategy of transforming the nonlinear optimization problem of finding the optimal estimates of the two-process model parameters into a series of linear optimization problems. Second, by taking advantage of the linear representation of the two-process model, this new method enables the analytical computation of statistically based measures of reliability for the model predictions in the form of prediction intervals. Two distinct data sets were used to evaluate the proposed method. Results using simulated data with superimposed white Gaussian noise showed that the new method yielded 50% to 90% improvement in parameter-estimate accuracy over the previous method. Moreover, the accuracy of the analytically computed prediction intervals was validated through Monte Carlo simulations. Results for subjects representing three sleep-loss phenotypes who participated in a laboratory study (82 h of total sleep loss) indicated that the proposed method yielded individualized predictions that were up to 43% more accurate than group-average prediction models and, on average, 10% more accurate than individualized predictions based on our previous method.

Warrior Transition Units (WTU's) are tasked with the challenging mission of caring for seriously injured or ill U.S. Army Soldiers. This paper explored the hypothesis that an educationally-based Mental Skills Training (MST) intervention can enhance self-esteem in members of a Warrior Transition Unit in the U.S. Army. The sample was comprised of 27 WTU cadre members who participated in an Army Center for Enhanced Performance (ACEP) MST educational workshop at a large Army installation on the West Coast. Instruments included the Ottawa Mental Skills Inventory (OMSAT-3; Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2001) and the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS; Wagnild, 1993). Results showed that SERS scores were significantly higher following the intervention. Furthermore, the ACEP instructional components of self-confidence, imagery, and mental practice were significant predictors of self-esteem. Results suggest that MST might be a viable educational approach for enhancing self-esteem in the WTU cadre.

AB - Recent work has demonstrated that horizontal saccadic eye movements enhance verbal episodic memory retrieval, particularly in strongly right-handed individuals. The present experiments test three primary assumptions derived from this research. First, horizontal eye movements should facilitate episodic memory for both verbal and non-verbal information. Second, the benefits of horizontal eye movements should only be seen when they immediately precede tasks that demand right and left-hemisphere processing towards successful performance. Third, the benefits of horizontal eye movements should be most pronounced in the strongly right-handed. Two experiments confirmed these hypotheses: horizontal eye movements increased recognition sensitivity and decreased response times during a spatial memory test relative to both vertical eye movements and fixation. These effects were only seen when horizontal eye movements preceded episodic memory retrieval, and not when they preceded encoding (Experiment 1). Further, when eye movements preceded retrieval, they were only beneficial with recognition tests demanding a high degree of right and left-hemisphere activity (Experiment 2). In both experiments the beneficial effects of horizontal eye movements were greatest for strongly right-handed individuals. These results support recent work suggesting increased interhemispheric brain activity induced by bilateral horizontal eye movements, and extend this literature to the encoding and retrieval of landmark shape and location information.

METHODS: Vital signs were monitored during transport to a level I trauma center and electronically archived. Retrospectively, we identified reliable vital signs recorded from the 0- to 7-minute interval and from the 14- to 21-minute interval during transport, and, for each subject, we computed the temporal differences between the two intervals' vital signs, the intrasubject 95% data ranges, the values during the initial 2 minutes, and the 21-minute overall means. We tested for differences between subjects with major hemorrhage versus control subjects, and computed receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves. We conducted sensitivity analyses, exploring alternative clinical outcomes, temporal windows, and methods of identifying reliable data. RESULTS: Comparing major hemorrhage cases versus controls, there were no discriminatory differences in temporal vital sign trends. Hemorrhage cases had significantly wider intrasubject data ranges for systolic blood pressure (SBP), respiratory rate (RR), and shock index (SI) versus controls. All results were consistent in several sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings add to a growing body of evidence that prehospital vital sign trends over 21 minutes or less are unlikely to be diagnostically useful because of substantial nondirectional fluctuations in vital signs that would obscure any subtle, progressive temporal trends. SBP, RR, and SI values were significantly different for high-acuity patients, and had more variability. Taken together, these findings suggest that higher-acuity patients experience episodes of instability rather than gradual, steady decline. Measures that account for data variability, such as taking the average of multiple measurements, may improve the diagnostic utility of prehospital vital signs.

METHODS: Sixty patients with LBP identified as likely responders to manipulation underwent a standardized clinical examination and were randomized to receive a lumbopelvic (LP) or lumbar neutral gap (NG) manipulation technique. Outcome measures were a numeric pain rating scale and the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. RESULTS: Both the LP and NG groups experienced statistically significant reductions in pain and disability at 48 hours postmanipulation. The improvements seen in each group were small because of the short follow-up. There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in pain or disability between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The two manipulation techniques used in this study were equally effective at reducing pain and disability when compared at 48 hours posttreatment. Clinicians may employ either technique for the treatment of LBP and can expect similar outcomes in those who satisfy the clinical prediction rule (CPR). Further research is required to determine whether differences exist at longer-term follow-up periods, after multiple treatment sessions, or in different clinical populations.

METHODS: Eight men (24 +/- 5 yr, 87 +/- 9 kg, 182 +/- 6 cm, 21 +/- 5% body fat) had blood drawn every 4 h after exercise for 24 h and assayed for IGF-I, IGFBP-1, -3, -6, the acid labile subunit (ALS), insulin, glucose, and nonesterified free fatty acids on five occasions: no exercise (control, C), moderate-duration resistance exercise (MDRE; 25, 5-10 repetition maximum (RM) sets), long-duration resistance exercise (LDRE; 50, 5-10 RM sets), moderate-duration aerobic exercise (MDAE; three 15-min cycling bouts at approximately 70% (.)VO2peak), and long-duration aerobic exercise (LDAE; six 15-min cycling bouts at approximately 70% (.)VO2peak). Energy requirements were determined from resting metabolic rate, age, and a physical activity factor. Dietary control was implemented by providing all meals during the experimental trials. A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures (P < 0.05) was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Significant exercise effects were observed for IGFBP-1 (C: 14.0 +/- 2.7 < MDRE: 35.9 +/- 8.6 = LDRE: 45.2 +/- 10.6 = MDAE: 34.2 +/- 7.4 = LDAE: 47.0 +/- 11.8 ng x mL(-1) and insulin (C: 26.0 +/- 9 < LDRE: 13.2 +/- 6 ng x mL). In addition, a dose-response relationship was observed for the IGFBP-1 response (long-duration exercise (46 +/- 10 ng x mL(-1)) > moderate-duration exercise (35 +/- 7 ng x mL(-1)). There were no exercise effects for total IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and ALS. Effects of time of day were observed for all variables except ALS. CONCLUSIONS: For the circulating IGF-I system components measured, only IGFBP-1 seems to be a sensitive biomarker capable of assessing the physiological strain of acute physical exercise.

We examined the incidence, prevalence, and risk of eating disorders at the United States Military Academy (USMA) over a 7-year period (total population 12,731 cadets). The incidence per year for females was 0.02% for anorexia, 0.17% for bulimia, and 0.17% for eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and for males was 0.0% for anorexia, 0.003% for bulimia, and 0.02% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. The total prevalence of diagnosed eating disorders for females was 5% and for males was 0.1%. For females over the 7-year period, we found a prevalence of 0.2% for anorexia, 1.2% for bulimia, 1.2% for eating disorders not otherwise specified, and for males we found a prevalence of 0.0% for anorexia, 0.02% for bulimia, and 0.03% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. Nineteen percent of females and 2% of males scored a 20 or higher on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT)-26 survey indicating they were at risk for developing an eating disorder. We conclude that the prevalence of eating disorders at USMA is comparable to civilian colleges.

From 1979, when the Republic of Korea (ROK) was declared malaria free, malaria did not present a health threat to U.S. forces deployed to Korea until the early 1990s. In 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria expressing both latent (long prepatent incubation periods of usually 6-18 months after infection) and nonlatent (short prepatent incubation periods < 30 days after infection) disease reemerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and once again presented a primary health threat to U.S. military populations in the ROK. Following its reemergence, malaria rates increased dramatically through 1998 and accounted for > 44% of all malaria cases among U.S. Army soldiers from 1997 to 2002. More than 60% of all Korean-acquired malaria among U.S. soldiers was identified as latent malaria. Nearly 80% of all latent malaria attributed to exposure in Korea was diagnosed in the U.S. or other countries where soldiers were deployed. These data illustrate the requirement for a comprehensive malaria education program, especially for those soldiers residing or training in malaria high-risk areas, to inform soldiers and providers of the risk of developing malaria after leaving Korea.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2005. The study found 171 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 13.3/10,000 soldiers per year) and 35 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21.6/10,000 soldiers per year), a total of 206 MEDEVACS. Fifty-three percent (n = 109) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries caused by acts of war. Thirty-one percent of all oral-facial MEDEVACS (n = 64) were for diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Sixteen percent (n = 33) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the face bones, for the most part because of motor vehicle accidents.

No new disease syndrome was identified, but the research produced new understanding and awareness of important psychosocial and neurotoxicological interactions that represented a difficult and relatively untapped frontier in biomedical research, especially concerning chronic multisymptom illnesses. Some specific Gulf War issues such as effects of depleted uranium, Leishmania diagnosis and treatment, and pesticide and prophylactic drug interactions have been intensively investigated; remaining priorities for further investigation include: markers of neurologic change (e.g., neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing), interactions between psychological resilience and neurotoxicity, structure-function relationships of neurotoxins with neurodegenerative disease potential, and predictors of individual susceptibility. The primary conclusions from the program are that no specific neurotoxic chemical has been identified that explains the chronic multisymptom illness observed but wellness of service members in future deployments may be better sustained based on continuing research on preexposure health baselining, fitness and health-damaging behaviors, and stress resilience. The many scientific discoveries and accomplishments of the GWI research effort have advanced military medical science, provided a solid basis on which to build future protections against health and performance risks to the warfighter, and improved the ability to respond to future deployment health issues.

The objective of this project was to determine the average clinical treatment time needed to correct nondeployable dental conditions using actual treatment times noted in an electronic scheduler. Methods: The Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic forwarded their daily treatment logs to the Dental Command for each week from November 1, 2002 through February 13, 2003. Clinical treatment times and types of services provided for dental fitness category (DFC) 3 conditions were tracked with the Corporate Dental Application scheduler. Results: The project identified 398 DFC 3 soldiers who were scheduled to receive treatment at the Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic between November 1, 2002 and February 13, 2003. Twenty-three of those soldiers did not receive treatment; therefore, the total sample size was 375. On average, it required 2.2 hours of clinical dental treatment time to make a DFC 3 soldier dentally deployable. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that treating DFC 3 conditions is time-intensive but most DFC 3 soldiers can be treated in approximately 2 hours in an efficient and properly staffed dental clinic. Without proper preventive education and maintenance, these soldiers may develop additional oral disease and may require repeated episodes of increasingly intensive dental treatment.

Fiscal law, however, generally prevents the use of O&M dollars to fund military construction projects that cost more than $750,000 or more than $1.5 million to correct threats to life, health, or safety. Faced with this constraint, commanders often pressure their operational lawyers to find fiscal law solutions to satisfy mission requirements. The Constitution provides the foundation for understanding why the military must conduct its operations within the constraints of fiscal law, even when the need to accomplish the mission seems paramount. To secure liberty, the Constitution first limits the power of government to certain spheres.

These waves result in highly anisotropic fluctuations in temperature and wind velocity that are stretched in a horizontal direction. As a result, IGW can significantly affect propagation of sound waves in nighttime boundary layers and infrasound waves in the stratosphere. In this paper, a theory of sound propagation through, and scattering by, IGW is developed. First, 3D spectra of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations due to IGW, which were recently derived in the literature for the case of large wave numbers, are generalized to account for small wave numbers. The generalized 3D spectra are then used to calculate the sound scattering cross section in an atmosphere with IGW. The dependencies of the obtained scattering cross section on the sound frequency, scattering angle, and other parameters of the problem are qualitatively different from those for the case of sound scattering by isotropic turbulence with the von Kármán spectra of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations. Furthermore, the generalized 3D spectra are used to calculate the mean sound field and the transverse coherence function of a plane sound wave propagating through IGW. The results obtained also significantly differ from those for the case of sound propagation through isotropic turbulence.

However, the relevance and merit of these credentials can be difficult to determine objectively. Board certification can be a reliable indicator of proficiency if the certifying organization demonstrates, through regularly scheduled independent review, that its processes meet established standards and when a certificate holder is required to periodically demonstrate command of a body of knowledge that is essential to current professional practice. Objective: We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. Discussion: An examination is the most commonly used instrument for testing a certification candidate’s command of the body of knowledge. However, an examination-based certification is only creditable when the body of knowledge, to which a certification examination tests, is representative of the current knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to effectively practice at the professional level. Thus, that body of knowledge must be the current “Standard of Knowledge” for the profession, compiled in a transparent fashion from current practitioners of the profession. Conclusion: This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

These steps have assisted in providing a robust medical system and augment Ebola diagnostic capability within the affected nations. In order to prepare for the deployment of U.S. military personnel, the infectious disease risks of the regions must be determined. This evaluation allows for the establishment of appropriate force health protection posture for personnel while deployed, as well as management plans for illnesses presenting after redeployment. Our objective was to detail the epidemiology and infectious disease risks for military personnel in West Africa, particularly for Liberia, along with lessons learned from prior deployments.

The purpose of this study was to better define the contribution of muscle deficits and volumetric muscle loss (VML) to the designation of long-term disability in order to better understand their effect on outcomes for limb-salvage patients. Medically retired servicemembers who sustained a combat-related type III open tibia fracture (Orthopedic cohort) were reviewed for results of their medical evaluation leading to discharge from military service. A cohort of battlefield-injured servicemembers (including those with nonorthopedic injuries) who were medically retired because of various injuries (General cohort) was also examined. Muscle conditions accounted for 65% of the disability of patients in the Orthopedic cohort. Among the General cohort, 92% of the muscle conditions were identified as VML. VML is a condition that contributes significantly to long-term disability, and the development of therapies addressing VML has the potential to fill a significant void in orthopedic care.

JO - Journal of Business Ethics JF - Journal of Business Ethics Y1 - 1999/03// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 99 EP - 108 SN - 01674544 AB - This paper examines ethical, legal and economic dimensions of the decision facing employers regarding whether it is appropriate to monitor the electronic mail (e-mail) communications of its employees. We review the question of whether such monitoring is lawful. Recent e-mail monitoring cases are viewed as a progression from cases involving more established technologies (i.e., phone calls, internal memoranda, faxes and voice mail). The central focus of the paper is on the extent to which employer monitoring of employee e-mail presents a structure of costs and benefits to the employer which are unlikely to make such a practice profitable or practical to the employer. The practice of employer monitoring to detect illicit employee behavior (e.g., fraud, harassment of fellow employees, industrial espionage) is considered. It is argued that not only does such monitoring behavior fall short of the standard imposed by Kant's categorical imperative for ethical behavior, monitoring also fails to meet Aristotle's ethical standard of practical wisdom. Other ethical aspects of employer monitoring are considered.

Sitting astride the Dardanelles and the Bosporus in Turey, Turkey controls the warm-water naval access of Russia, the Ukraine, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Control of the straits between the Black and the Mediterranean Seas has long been a matter of keen interest to Russia, as well as other CIS nations bordering the Black Sea. This article addresses the fol- lowing frequently encountered topics: (1) the Turkish legal system; (2) entry of personnel and personal property into Turkey; (3) living and working in Turkey; and (4) domestic relations. The scope of this article is limited to the major areas of Turkish civil law which U.S. personnel and their families will encounter from the time of their entry until their departure from Turkey.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - This study examined the effectiveness of two training methods for peripheral intravenous (IV) cannulation; one using rubber mannequin IV training arms, and the other consisting of students performing the procedure on each other. Two hundred-sixty Phase II Army Practical Nursing students were randomized into two groups and trained to perform an IV cannulation procedure. All students watched a 12-minute training video covering standard IV placement procedures. Afterward, both groups practiced the procedure for an hour according to their assigned group. Students were then tested on IV placement in a live human arm using a 14-item testing instrument in three trials that were scored pass/fail. There was no difference in the groups’ performance of the IV procedure on the first attempt: 51.7% (n = 92) of the human arm group passed the test, and 48.3% (n = 86) of the rubber mannequin group passed the test (p = 0.074). These data suggest that using rubber mannequin IV arms for IV skills training may be just as effective as training students using traditional methods. In addition, using simulation provides an extra benefit of reducing risks associated with learning the procedure on a fellow student.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Background: A retrospective evaluation of the Department of Defense teledermatology consultation program from 2004 to 2012 was performed, focusing on clinical application and outcome measures such as consult volume, response time, and medical evacuation status. Methods: A retrospective review of the teledermatology program between 2004 and 2012 was evaluated based on defined outcome measures. In addition, 658 teledermatology cases were reviewed to assess how the program was utilized by health care providers from 2011 to 2012. Results: As high as 98% of the teledermatology consults were answered within 24 hours, and 23% of consults within 1 hour. The most common final diagnoses included eczematous dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and evaluation for nonmelanoma skin cancer. The most common medications recommended included topical corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, antihistamines, and emollients. Biopsy was most commonly recommended for further evaluation. Following teleconsultation, 46 dermatologic evacuations were 'avoided' as the patient was not evacuated based on the consultants’ recommendation. Consultants’ recommendations to the referring provider 'facilitated' 41 evacuations. Conclusion: Telemedicine in the U.S. military has provided valuable dermatology support to providers in remote locations by delivering appropriate and timely consultation for military service members and coalition partners. In addition to avoiding unnecessary medical evacuations, the program facilitated appropriate evacuations that may otherwise have been delayed.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - The aim of this study was to document risk factors for any injury and sports- and exercise-related injuries, including personal and occupational stress among active duty service members (SMs) in the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy. A total of 10,692 SMs completed the April 2008 Status of Forces Survey of Active Duty Members. The survey asked about demographics, personal stress and occupational stress, injuries from any cause, and participation in sports- and exercise- related activities in the past year. The survey used a complex sampling procedure to create a representative sample of SMs. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations of injury outcomes with potential risk factors. 49% of SMs sought medical care for an injury in the past year and 25% sustained a sports- and exercise-related activities injury. Odds of injury were higher for the Army and Marine Corps than for the Air Force or Navy. This survey showed that higher personal and occupational stress was associated with higher risks of injury. SMs who experienced higher levels of personal or occupational stress reported higher risks of injuries. The effects of stress reduction programs on injury risks should be evaluated in military and other young physically active populations.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Introduction: Traumatic brain injury accounts for over 1 million U.S. emergency department visits annually. A significant percentage of patients undergo CT scans to exclude intracranial bleeds. The Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) is designed to rapidly determine whether a concussion has occurred, (0–30 scale, where ≥ 25 is considered normal). Although not intended to be used in isolation, results in the normal range are considered an indication of low suspicion of brain injury. This study evaluated the relationship between CT findings of structural injury (CT+) and performance on the SAC. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study on mild head-injured patients presenting to the emergency department who underwent CT scans and had SAC evaluations. Results: We enrolled 368 patients, of which 66 were read by a neuroradiologist as positive (CT+), with an average age of 46.7, and an average Glasgow Coma Scale of 14.85. 38.2% of these CT+ patients had a SAC score ≥ 25. There were no significant differences between time of injury and CT scan or SAC for those with high or low SAC scores. Both high and low SAC groups contained similar CT+ abnormalities (e.g., hematomas). Conclusions: These results indicate that a normal SAC score alone does not exclude intracranial injury.

AB - Ultramarathon (UM) running is a rapidly growing sport throughout the world, yet to date it has received little attention in sport psychology literature. To obtain further insight into this sport, the current study examined the training and competition experiences of UM runners. Phenomenological interviews were conducted with 26 participants ranging in age from 32 to 67 years (M = 44.1 yrs, SD = 8.1). Qualitative analysis of the interview data identified meaning units, which were grouped into major themes. A final thematic structure revealed five major themes that characterized the participant’s experience of UM running: preparation and strategy, management, discovery, personal achievement, and community. Taken together, the present results extend previous research on UM running and provide a number of suggestions for sport psychology consultants working with UM runners.

AB - Both traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common problems resulting from military service, and both have been associated with increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia resulting from Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other causes. This study aims to use imaging techniques and biomarker analysis to determine whether traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or PTSD resulting from combat or other traumas increase the risk for AD and decrease cognitive reserve in Veteran subjects, after accounting for age. Using military and Department of Veterans Affairs records, 65 Vietnam War veterans with a history of moderate or severe TBI with or without PTSD, 65 with ongoing PTSD without TBI, and 65 control subjects are being enrolled in this study at 19 sites. The study aims to select subject groups that are comparable in age, gender, ethnicity, and education. Subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia are being excluded. However, a new study just beginning, and similar in size, will study subjects with TBI, subjects with PTSD, and control subjects with MCI. Baseline measurements of cognition, function, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers; magnetic resonance images (structural, diffusion tensor, and resting state blood-level oxygen dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging); and amyloid positron emission tomographic (PET) images with florbetapir are being obtained. One-year follow-up measurements will be collected for most of the baseline procedures, with the exception of the lumbar puncture, the PET imaging, and apolipoprotein E genotyping. To date, 19 subjects with TBI only, 46 with PTSD only, and 15 with TBI and PTSD have been recruited and referred to 13 clinics to undergo the study protocol. It is expected that cohorts will be fully recruited by October 2014. This study is a first step toward the design and statistical powering of an AD prevention trial using at-risk veterans as subjects, and provides the basis for a larger, more comprehensive study of dementia risk factors in veterans.

Copyright Statement: Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Alzheimer's Association. 2014. AB - Population-based studies have supported the hypothesis that a positive history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with an increased incidence of neurological disease and psychiatric comorbidities, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These epidemiologic studies, however, do not offer a clear definition of that risk, and leave unanswered the bounding criteria for greater lifetime risk of neurodegeneration. Key factors that likely mediate the degree of risk of neurodegeneration include genetic factors, significant premorbid and comorbid medical history (e.g. depression, multiple head injuries and repetitive subconcussive impact to the brain, occupational risk, age at injury, and severity of brain injury). However, given the often-described concerns in self-report accuracy as it relates to history of multiple TBIs, low frequency of patient presentation to a physician in the case of mild brain injuries, and challenges with creating clear distinctions between injury severities, disentangling the true risk for neurodegeneration based solely on population-based studies will likely remain elusive. Given this reality, multiple modalities and approaches must be combined to characterize who are at risk so that appropriate interventions to alter progression of neurodegeneration can be evaluated. This article presents data from a study that highlights uses of neuroimaging and areas of needed research in the link between TBI and neurodegenerative disease.

Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health concern. On average, 1.7 million persons sustain a TBI annually, and about 5.3 million Americans are living with a TBI-related disability. As the leading cause of death and disability in persons under 45 years old, there is a need for developing evidence-based interventions to reduce morbidity from this injury. So far, despite encouraging preclinical results, almost all neuroprotection trials have failed to show any significant efficacy in the treatment of patients with clinical TBI. The cascade of molecular and cellular changes after TBI involves plasticity in many different neurochemical systems, which represent putative targets for neurotherapeutic interventions. Accordingly, a successful TBI treatment may have to simultaneously attenuate many injury factors. The purpose of this review is to highlight four promising nutritional intervention options that have been identified—omega-3, zinc, vitamin D, and glutamine—and to provide an up-to-date summary regarding their apparent efficacy for affecting TBI.

AB - Background: The U.S. Army Medical Department conducted a pilot mobile health project to determine the requirements for coordination of care for 'Wounded Warriors' using mobile messaging. The primary objective was to determine if a secure mobile health (mhealth) intervention provided to geographically dispersed patients would improve contact rates and positively impact the military healthcare system. Methods and Materials: Over 21 months, volunteers enrolled in a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant, secure mobile messaging initiative called mCare. The study included males and females, 18-61 years old, with a minimum of 60 days of outpatient recovery. Volunteers were required to have a compatible phone. The mhealth intervention included appointment reminders, health and wellness tips, announcements, and other relevant information to this population exchanged between care teams and patients. Results: Provider respondents reported that 85% would refer patients to mCare, and 56% noted improvement in appointment attendance (n = 90). Patient responses also revealed high acceptability of mCare and refined the frequency and delivery times (n = 114). The pilot project resulted in over 84,000 outbound messages and improved contact rates by 176%. Conclusions: The mCare pilot project demonstrated the feasibility and administrative effectiveness of a scalable mhealth application using secure mobile messaging and information exchanges, including personalized patient education.

AB - Purpose: Research suggests the importance of psychosocial factors in recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of recovery among U.S. Marines who had musculoskeletal injuries of the back, knee, or shoulder. Methods: A sample of 134 participants was assessed at baseline and followed for 1 year to determine outcome information. Results: The strongest predictor of injury recovery at the 1-year follow-up was recovery expectations. In a multivariate logistic model with key demographic and psychosocial factors controlled, individuals who had high recovery expectations at baseline were over five times as likely to be recovered at follow-up as individuals who had low expectations (OR = 5.18, p < .01). Conclusions: This finding is consistent with a large body of research that has linked recovery expectations with better recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal injuries as well as with research linking recovery expectations with better outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Applied to military populations, interventions designed to modify recovery expectations may have the potential to improve rates of return to duty and to reduce rates of disability discharge.

Issue Publication Date: May 15, 2014. Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - We hypothesized that vital signs could be used to improve the association between a trauma patient's prehospital Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and his or her clinical condition. Previously, abnormally low and high blood pressures have both been associated with higher mortality for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). We undertook a retrospective analysis of 1384 adult prehospital trauma patients. Vital-sign data were electronically archived and analyzed. We examined the relative risk of severe head Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 5-6 as a function of the GCS, systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate (RR). We created multi-variate logistic regression models and, using DeLong's test, compared their area under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC AUCs) for three outcomes: head AIS 5-6, all-cause mortality, and either head AIS 5-6 or neurosurgical procedure. We found significant bimodal relationships between head AIS 5-6 versus SBP and HR, but not RR. When the GCS was < 15, ROC AUCs were significantly higher for a multi-variate regression model (GCS, SBP, and HR) versus GCS alone. In particular, patients with abnormalities in all parameters (GCS, SBP, and HR) were significantly more likely to have high-mortality TBI versus those with abnormalities in GCS alone. This could be useful for mobilizing resources (e.g., neurosurgeons and operating rooms at the receiving hospital) and might enable new prehospital management protocols where therapies are selected based on TBI mortality risk.

Copyright Statement: Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Background: Little is known about the relative impact of the organization of missions on aircrew well-being. Using an occupational stress model we investigate a previously little studied concept of mission stressors and determine its relative impact in comparison lo physical and war stressors in the prediction of four strains in deployed aircrews. Method: Questionnaires were completed by 272 deployed in-aircraft crewmembers. Three new stressors were developed for this study: mission stressors, physical stressors, and war stressors. In addition, four strains were measured: PTSD, depression, sleepiness, and nervousness. Regression analyses were used lo examine the relative impact of each stressor on the four strain measures while controlling for age and occupation. Results: All three stressors played a significant role in the prediction strains with the total explained variance in the analyses ranging from 15% and 39%. Interestingly, mission stressors played the most important role in the prediction of strains possessing the largest partial eta squared in each analysis. The second most important stressor was physical stressors followed by war stressors. Conclusion: The importance of mission stressors may be because current training is designed to inoculate crewmembers to stressors such as the physical/environmental conditions and violent war actions, but there is no training or acknowledgment of the importance of dealing with mission stressors. Our findings suggest it might be beneficial for commanders to address these stressors, as it may improve short-term psychological well-being, which may ultimately impact mission success and safely.

Copyright Statement: Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Background: Fatigue due to sleep restriction places individuals at elevated risk for accidents, degraded health, and impaired physical and mental performance. Early detection of fatigue-related performance decrements is an important component of injury prevention and can help to ensure optimal performance and mission readiness. This study used a predictive visual tracking task and a computer-based measure of attention to characterize fatigue-related attention decrements in healthy Army personnel during acute sleep deprivation. Methods: Serving as subjects in this laboratory-based study were 87 male and female service members between the ages of 18 and 50 with no history of brain injury with loss of consciousness, substance abuse, or significant psychiatric or neurologic diagnoses. Subjects underwent 26 h of sleep deprivation, during which eye movement measures from a continuous circular visual tracking task and attention measures (reaction time, accuracy) from the Attention Network Test (ANT) were collected at baseline, 20 h awake, and between 24 to 26 h awake. Results: Increases in the variability of gaze positional errors (46-47%), as well as reaction time-based ANT measures (9-65%), were observed across 26 h of sleep deprivation. Accuracy of ANT responses declined across this same period (11%). Discussion: Performance measures of predictive visual tracking accurately reflect impaired attention due to acute sleep deprivation and provide a promising approach for assessing readiness in personnel serving in diverse occupational areas, including flight and ground support crews.

JO - Occupational & Environmental Medicine JF - Occupational & Environmental Medicine Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 71 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - A1 EP - A1 SN - 13510711 AB - Objectives Direct reading instruments are valuable tools for assessing exposure in the workplace. Adaption of such instruments to serve as valid and efficient tools to provide personal exposure data for environmental surveillance and occupational epidemiology studies fulfils a critical research need. Method A project is underway to validate new sensor technology that utilises native fluorescence of molecules excited by ultraviolet light with the goal of delivering laboratory-quality data for qualitative and quantitative analyses. The initial chemical of focus with this technology is naphthalene. The project is proceeding in two stages: independent laboratory validation and an exposure assessment field study, which is being conducted in two Phases: Phase I examines the degree to which the instrument serves as a sensor of naphthalene by assessing the concordance between measured personal air levels and those measured with conventional technologies e.g. active samplers; Phase II evaluates the validity of the instrument to serve as a dosimeter, correlating instrument-measured naphthalene levels in air with biological markers of exposure from skin, urine and exhaled breath. Results Independent laboratory evaluations indicate the instrument is accurate within accepted laboratory guidelines, when compared to standard gas chromatography methods. Results from the Phase I field study with US military personnel working with jet propulsion fuels (e.g., JP8 and jet A) as part of their regular work responsibilities support laboratory validation findings. Phase II data efforts are in progress. Conclusions This technology permits real-time evaluation of task-specific variations in personal naphthalene exposure levels, data that are currently not available with conventional active sampling processes.

JO - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) JF - Military Psychology (American Psychological Association) Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 306 EP - 317 SN - 08995605 AB - Although both the military and fraternities have been theorized to be characterized by norms and attitudes that serve to legitimize violence against women, no previous work has examined the potential similarity and differences in rape-supportive beliefs of these 2 environments or the people drawn to them. Further, the belief systems of women within these organizations have received little attention. As such, the current study sought to serve as an initial exploration of the rape-supportive belief systems of people drawn to these groups. Participants were recruited from students entering 2 military service academies (U.S. Military Academy, n = 1,169, 1,003 men, 166 women; U.S. Naval Academy, n = 1,916, 1,551 men, 365 women) and fraternities and sororities at a Midwestern university (n = 393, 188 men, 205 women). All participants completed the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale-Short Form. Consistent with previous findings related to gender, men were more accepting of rape myths than women. Further, there was more variability in the levels of rape myth acceptance among military service academy and fraternity men than among military service academy and sorority women. Although across all groups the women expressed significantly lower levels of rape myth acceptance than the men, women and men from the United States Military Academy were more closely aligned in their beliefs than women and men from the other samples. Implications for sexual assault prevention education are discussed.

The data were obtained through an anonymous survey of 458 squad leaders (i.e., small unit leaders who oversee 4-10 soldiers). More than 80% of squad leaders perceived management of soldier BH needs before, during, and after treatment as their responsibility, and felt comfortable and capable of executing these roles. Latent class analysis was used to determine groups of "most active," "moderately active," and "least active" leaders. Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare the least and most active classes. The most active leaders were more likely to report high BH knowledge, dedication to a common purpose, and low levels of "associative" stigma. These results should inform leader management of soldier BH. Future research should examine active leader characteristics and whether evidence-based training can increase support for preventing and managing BH issues.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 97 EP - 103 SN - 15376516 AB - 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is currently being investigated in the development of insensitive munitions. Rats orally exposed to NTO have demonstrated testicular toxicity in both subacute and subchronic studies; however, toxicity has not been verified in mice. Also, previous studies have not demonstrated the nature of NTO-induced testicular toxicity due to the prolonged dosing regimen utilized and effects of maturation depletion. In this study, a time-course design was used and the earliest pathological changes in testes of adult BALB/c mice orally dosed with NTO in corn oil suspensions at 0, 500 or 1000 mg/kg-day NTO for 1, 3, 7 or 14 d were evaluated. The earliest NTO-induced testicular changes occurred in the 1000 mg/kg-day group at day 7 and the 500 mg/kg-day group at day 14 as evident by the presence of bi- and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) of almost all spermatids in an isolated stage II–III tubule/step 2–3 and a stage IX tubule/step 9 in the 1000 and 500 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Testicular toxicity was characterized by degeneration and the presence of bi- and MNGCs of spermatids (stages II–III and IX), which progressed to additional germ cell degeneration as dosing duration increased. Occasional step 16 spermatid retention was also noted in stage XII and I tubules in the day 14, 1000 mg/kg-day group. These data indicate that NTO is a testicular toxicant in mice and that spermatids are the most sensitive cell. The presence of retained spermatids warrants further investigation regarding NTO’s role as a direct Sertoli cell toxicant.

Methods: The rationale for the study and the structure of the research plan was laid out. An overview of each article in the supplement was provided. The cohort of deployed Service members was assessed for airborne exposure, relevant biomarkers, and health outcomes following deployment to Balad, Iraq, and/or Bagram, Afghanistan. Results: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposures were elevated, and serum biomarkers were statistically different posldeployment. Associations were noted between PAHs and dioxins and microRNAs. Some health outcomes were evident in deployers compared with nondeployers. Conclusions: Future research will examine the associations between demographic variables, smoking status, biomarker levels, and related health outcomes.

However, the alignment and assembly of continuous 2D components at high volume fraction remain challenging.We use a stacking and folding method to generate aligned graphene/polycarbonate composites with as many as 320 parallel layers spanning 0.032 to 0.11millimeters in thickness that significantly increases the effective elasticmodulus and strength at exceptionally lowvolume fractions of only 0.082%. An analogous transverse shear scrolling method generates Archimedean spiral fibers that demonstrate exotic, telescoping elongation at break of 110%, or 30 times greater than Kevlar. Both composites retain anisotropic electrical conduction along the graphene planar axis and transparency.These composites promise substantial mechanical reinforcement, electrical, and optical properties at highly reduced volume fraction.

We isolated and characterized 349 GP-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from the peripheral B cells of a convalescent donor who survived the 2014 EBOV Zaire outbreak. Remarkably, 77% of the mAbs neutralize live EBOV, and several mAbs exhibit unprecedented potency. Structures of selected mAbs in complex with GP reveal a site of vulnerability located in the GP stalk region proximal to the viral membrane. Neutralizing antibodies targeting this site show potent therapeutic efficacy against lethal EBOV challenge in mice. The results provide a framework for the design of new EBOV vaccine candidates and immunotherapies.

JO - International Journal of Damage Mechanics JF - International Journal of Damage Mechanics Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 98 EP - 114 SN - 10567895 AB - Calcium silicate hydrate Jennite is a molecular structure commonly accepted as a representation of the complex calcium silicate hydrate gel formed during the hydration of typical Portland cement. In this paper, the behavior of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite under shear deformation was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Computational samples representing the nanoscale structure of calcium silicate hydrate Jennite were subjected to shear deformation in order to investigate not only their mechanical properties but also their deformation behavior. The simulation results indicated that the nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite under shear deformation displays a linear elastic behavior up to shear stress of approximately 1.0 GPa, and shear deformation of about 0.08 radians, after which point yielding and plastic deformation occurs. The shear modulus determined from the simulations was 11.2 ± 0.7 GPa. The deformation-induced displacements in molecular structures were analyzed dividing the system in regions representing calcium oxide layers. The displacement/deformation of the layers of calcium oxide forming the structure of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite was analyzed. The non-linear stress–strain behavior in the molecular structure was attributed to a non-linear increase in the displacement due to sliding of the calcium oxide layers on top of each other with higher shearing. These results support the idea that by controlling the chemical reactions, the tailored morphologies can be used to increase the interlinking between the calcium oxide layers, thus minimizing the shearing of the layers and leading to molecular structures that can withstand larger deformation and have improved failure behavior.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 44 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1687 EP - 1693 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: No study has attempted to associate the levels of preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover with the subsequent risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Hypothesis: Preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover would be associated with the subsequent risk of ACL injury. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We conducted a case-control study with 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 controls matched for sex, age, height, and weight. In addition to the matching criteria, controls had no history of major joint injury. Baseline preinjury serum samples were obtained from the Department of Defense Serum Repository for all subjects. Samples were assessed for 2 serum biomarkers of collagen synthesis (CPII and CS846) and 2 markers of collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) through commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. All ELISAs were performed in triplicate. Conditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Univariate results suggested that both biomarkers for collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) were significantly associated with the subsequent likelihood of ACL injury. Serum C2C and C1,2C concentration at baseline were associated with odds ratios (ORs) of 2.05 (95% CI, 1.30-3.23; P = .001) and 3.02 (95% CI, 1.60-5.71; P = .002), respectively. Baseline serum CPII concentrations were also associated with subsequent ACL injury. Serum CPII concentration at baseline was associated with an OR of 4.41 (95% CI, 1.87-10.38; P = .001). Baseline serum CS846 levels approached significance (OR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.57-1.03; P = .080). Multivariable models suggested that preinjury CPII and C2C concentrations at baseline are important indicators of subsequent ACL injury risk. Conclusion: Preinjury differences in serum biomarker levels of collagen turnover suggest that collagen metabolism in individuals who go on to tear an ACL may be different when compared with a matched control group with no history of major joint injury. These differences may be reflective of different preinjury biochemical and/or biomechanical risk profiles or genetic factors that subsequently affect both collagen metabolism and ACL injury risk.

T1 - The Effects of an Injury Prevention Program on Landing Biomechanics Over Time. JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 767 EP - 776 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Knowledge is limited regarding how long improvements in biomechanics remain after completion of a lower extremity injury prevention program. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of an injury prevention program on movement technique and peak vertical ground-reaction forces (VGRF) over time compared with a standard warm-up (SWU) program. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 1104 incoming freshmen (age range, 17-22 years) at a military academy in the United States volunteered to participate. Participants were cluster-randomized by military company to either the Dynamic Integrated Movement Enhancement (DIME) injury prevention program or SWU. A random subsample of participants completed a standardized jump-landing task at each time point: immediately before the intervention (PRE), immediately after (POST), and 2 (POST2M), 4 (POST4M), 6 (POST6M), and 8 months (POST8M) after the intervention. VGRF data collected during the jump-landing task were normalized to body weight (%BW). The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was used to evaluate movement technique during the jump landing. The change scores (Δ) for each variable (LESS, VGRF) between the group’s average value at PRE and each time point were calculated. Separate univariate analyses of variance were performed to evaluate group differences. Results: The results showed a greater decrease in mean (±SD) VGRF in the DIME group compared with the SWU group at all retention time points: POST2M (SWU [Δ%BW], −0.13 ± 0.82; DIME, −0.62 ± 0.91; P = .001), POST4M (SWU, −0.15 ± 0.98; DIME,−0.46 ± 0.64; P = .04), POST6M (SWU, −0.04 ± 0.96; DIME, −0.53 ± 0.83; P = .004), and POST8M (SWU, 0.38 ± 0.95; DIME, −0.11 ± 0.98; P = .003), but there was not a significant improvement in the DIME group between PRE and POST8M (Δ%BW, −0.11 ± 0.98). No group differences in Δ LESS were observed. Conclusion: The study findings demonstrated that an injury prevention program performed as a warm-up can reduce vertical ground-reaction forces compared with a standard warm-up but a maintenance program is likely necessary in order for continued benefit. Clinical Relevance: Injury prevention programs may need to be performed constantly, or at least every sport season, in order for participants to maintain the protective effects against injury.

Warrior Transition Units (WTU's) are tasked with the challenging mission of caring for seriously injured or ill U.S. Army Soldiers. This paper explored the hypothesis that an education- ally-based Mental Skills Training (MST) intervention can enhance self-esteem in members of a Warrior Transition Unit in the U.S. Army. The sample was comprised of 27 WTU cadre members who participated in an Army Center for Enhanced Performance (ACEP) MST educational workshop at a large Army installation on the West Coast. Instruments included the Ottawa Mental Skills Inventory (OMSAT-3; Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2001) and the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS; Wagnild, 1993). Results showed that SERS scores were significantly higher following the intervention. Furthermore, the ACEP instructional components of self-confidence, imagery, and mental practice were significant predictors of self-esteem. Results suggest that MST might be a viable educational approach for enhancing self-esteem in the WTU cadre.

Carbohydrate (CHO) and caffeine (CAF) supplementation appear efficacious at enhancing endurance exercise performance when studied under ideal circumstances, but the unique challenges imposed by environmental stressors such as heat may minimize or negate these effects. Similar to findings in temperate or cool environments, CHO intake during endurance exercise in hot environments produces a consistent performance benefit. But in contrast to the benefits observed in moderate environments, CAF affords no apparent performance advantage in the heat. These findings raise interesting questions about nutritional ergogenic mechanisms of action and offer direction for future research.

EARS is able to detect and classify both the geometric and anthropometric features of a given mesh and rates its quality. These features and corresponding operations include the roughness of the scanned surface, the fairness of vertex location, area and position of missing body parts, anthropometrically guided segmentation, detection of landmarks, and wrinkles in clothing. The system ranks these features and operations based on their importance as determined by Anthropologists who have specific requirements with respect to understanding the anthropometry of the soldier of the 21st century. The data scans contain more than 100,000 vertices and over 300,000 facets. The system is able to provide real-time feedback on whether the mesh is suitable for downstream applications. The system will be used by the U.S. Army to do statistical studies on their large human body dataset.

S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is investigating compact, energy-dense electronic components to realize high-power, vehicle-mounted survivability and lethality systems. These applications require switching components that are low in weight and volume, exhibit reliable performance, and are easy to integrate into the vehicles' systems. The devices reported here are 4 mm × 4 mm silicon carbide GTOs rated for 3000 V blocking. These devices were packaged at ARL for high pulse current capability, high voltage protection, and minimum package inductance. The GTOs were switched in a 1-ms half-sine, single-pulse discharge circuit to determine reliable peak current and recovery time (or Tq). The GTOs were repeatedly switched over 300 A peak (3.3 A/cm2 and an action of 60 A2s) with a recovery time of 20 µs. The switches were also evaluated for dV/dt immunity up to an instantaneous slope of 3 kV/ µs.

The theory can be used for the calculation of the effective linear elastic extensional and bending stiffnesses of laminated textile composite panels. A representative unit cell (RUC) of the textile architecture is first identified along with its constituents. Tow geometry is represented analytically taking account of tow undulation. Each tow is modeled as a transversely isotropic linear elastic solid and the contribution from each tow to the RUC elastic bending stiffness is obtained by volume averaging, taking account of the volume fraction of each constituent. The formulation is amenable to the incorporation of geometric changes to the textile architecture that occurs through manufacturing induced consolidation. Predictions of the elastic bending stiffness are compared against experimental data, showing a strong correlation between the analytical model and the experimental results.

I provide further explication of their thesis by looking at the Romanian case. The explosion of violence around 1940-41, the years when Romania joined the Axis and entered the Second World War cannot be understood without taking into account the historical, political, social, and cultural factors that created the radical atmosphere of xenophobia, mass psychosis, and mobilization against Others. Rumors emerge as the most powerful psychological means of spreading the official master narrative of 'domestic Jewish treason'. Reinterpretation of various cultural symbols also played an important role in excluding the Jewish Other from the national community.

Tracing the historical development and application of the law, the Article demonstrates that the existing law of war derives from a set of rules that are contingent on reciprocity. Contrary to common understanding, reciprocity strongly influences states' interpretation and application of the law of war. The Article first identifies an obligational component of reciprocity that restricts operation of the law to contents between parties with parallel legal commitments. Second, the Article identifies an observational component of the principle of reciprocity that permits parties to suspend or terminate observance when confronted with breach. Although the principle of reciprocity was softened by late twentieth century legal instruments, it continues to form a critical component of the law of war and guides both pragmatic and theoretical discourse. Regardless of normative conclusions about reciprocity as a precondition to application of the law, the Article's reciprocity-cognizant framework for understanding the law of war provides a useful platform for reform efforts.

The meaning of the concept is directly dependent upon the discipline and the context in which it is used. Lacking a gold standard for its measurement, a clear definition for the concept of compliance in nursing and other health-related professions should be explored. This article explores the definitions of the concept as it relates to various disciplines, and examines its true meaning as it relates to the nursing profession. Nurses are encouraged to take a patient-centered approach to patient care, thereby forming alliances and empowering patients and family members to take an active role in their health care.

Under a system of absolutely free choice, and competing on an equal footing with journalism, business law and photography, the courses in the modern foreign languages were far more popular than had been expected. Nearly one student in every three at the university were studying some foreign language, which warrants the conclusion that U.S. servicemen will watch with keen interest the role of foreign languages in the peace-time curriculum. Most of the students had widely different linguistic backgrounds. Some of them, though probably less than a quarter, had a year of rarely two years of the language in high school. Grammar was treated inductively, that is, the phrases were learned and used until fairly fluent and automatic. No attempt was made to conjugate the tense of a verb, until practically all the necessary forms had been learned separately in a phrase or other context. Then the tense was assembled, and the conjugation learned as a handy device for remembering the forms or creating similar ones for other verb.

Facial cooling can decrease finger blood flow, reducing finger temperature ( T). This study examined whether thermal face protection limits finger cooling and thereby improves thermal comfort and manual dexterity during prolonged cold exposure. T was measured in ten volunteers dressed in cold-weather clothing as they stood for 60 min facing the wind (−15°C, 3 m s), once while wearing a balaclava and goggles (BAL), and once with the balaclava pulled down and without goggles (CON). Subjects removed mitts, wearing only thin gloves to perform Purdue Pegboard (PP) tests at 15 and 50 min, and Minnesota Rate of Manipulation (MRM) tests at 30 and 55 min. Subjects rated their thermal sensation and comfort just before the dexterity tests. T decreased ( p < 0.05 for time × trial interaction) by 15 min of cold exposure during CON (33.6 ± 1.4-28.7 ± 2.0°C), but not during BAL (33.2 ± 1.4-30.6 ± 3.2°C); and after 30 min T remained warmer during BAL (23.3 ± 5.9°C) than CON (19.2 ± 3.5); however, by 50 min, T was no different between trials (14.1 ± 2.7°C). Performance on PP fell ( p < 0.05) by 25% after 50 min in both trials; MRM performance was not altered by cold on either trial. Subjects felt colder ( p < 0.05) and more uncomfortable ( p < 0.05) during CON, compared to BAL. Thermal face protection was effective for maintaining warmer T and thermal comfort during cold exposure; however, local cooling of the hands during manual dexterity tests reduced this physiological advantage, and performance was not improved.

Using a collection of pQCT images of the tibial diaphysis from 696 young adult women and men, we tested the hypothesis that bone cells cannot surmount the nonlinear relationship between bone width and whole bone stiffness to establish functional equivalence across a healthy population. Intrinsic cellular constraints limited the degree of compensation, leading to functional inequivalence relative to robustness, with slender tibias being as much as two to three times less stiff relative to body size compared with robust tibias. Using Path Analysis, we identified a network of compensatory trait interactions that explained 79% of the variation in whole-bone bending stiffness. Although slender tibias had significantly less cortical area relative to body size compared with robust tibias, it was the limited range in tissue modulus that was largely responsible for the functional inequivalence. Bone cells coordinately modulated mineralization as well as the cortical porosity associated with internal bone multicellular units (BMU)-based remodeling to adjust tissue modulus to compensate for robustness. Although anecdotal evidence suggests that functional inequivalence is tolerated under normal loading conditions, our concern is that the functional deficit of slender tibias may contribute to fracture susceptibility under extreme loading conditions, such as intense exercise during military training or falls in the elderly. Thus, we show the natural variation in bone robustness was associated with predictable functional deficits that were attributable to cellular constraints limiting the amount of compensation permissible in human long bone. Whether these cellular constraints can be circumvented prophylactically to better equilibrate function among individuals remains to be determined. © 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR KW - *TIBIA KW - *FRACTURES KW - *YOUNG adults KW - COMPLEXITY (Philosophy) KW - ROBUST control KW - RISK factors UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=s3h&AN=67345146&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - s3h ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Consortium for Health and Military Performance and American College of Sports Medicine Consensus Paper on Extreme Conditioning Programs in Military Personnel.

Thirty subjects (22 M, 8 F; 20 ± 2 years (mean ± SD); 1.8 ± 0.1 m; 75.8 ± 13.5 kg) had P measured after an 8-h food and fluid fast (overnight fast) and 90 min after a 500-mL (4-9 mL/kg) water bolus (pre-hydration). From pre- to post-bolus, participants' P declined from 297 ± 3.5 to 295 ± 3.8 mmol/kg ( p < 0.05; ∆ −1.7 ± 3.5 mmol/kg). One-third of the sample diluted to more than −3 mmol/kg. The effect of body mass on P dilution was investigated by comparing dilution in the ten lightest (62.8 ± 3.4 kg) and heaviest (92.0 ± 9.8 kg) participants; however, the change between the light (∆ −1.9 ± 3.8 mmol/kg) versus heavy groups (∆ −1.1 ± 3.0 mmol/kg) was not different ( p > 0.05). The correlation between body mass or total body water and change in P was weak ( p > 0.05), as was the correlation between relative fluid intake based on mass and change in P ( p > 0.05). The two methodologies appear to produce similar P values when measured in most individuals. However, the potential for significant dilution (>3 mmol/kg) should be considered when choosing the pre-hydration methodology.

Possible causes include reduced dermal mineral concentrations or flushing of surface contamination. The purpose of this study was to simultaneously sample mineral concentrations in transdermal fluid (TDF), sweat, and serum during extended exercise-heat stress to determine if these compartments show the same serial changes during repeat sampling. Sixteen heat-acclimated individuals walked on a treadmill (1.56 m/s, 3.0% grade) in a 35°C, 20% relative humidity (RH), 1 m/s wind environment 50 min each hour for 3 h. Mineral concentrations of Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn were measured each hour from serum, sweat from upper back (sweat pouch) and arm (bag), and TDF from the upper back. Sites were meticulously cleaned to minimize surface contamination. Mineral concentrations were determined by spectrometry. TDF remained stable over time, with exception of a modest increase in TDF [Fe] (15%) and decrease in TDF [Zn] (-18%). Likewise, serum and pouch sweat samples were stable over time. In contrast, the initial arm bag sweat mineral concentrations were greater than those in the sweat pouch, and [Ca], [Cu], [Mg], and [Zn] declined 26-76% from initial to the subsequent samples, becoming similar to sweat pouch. Nominal TDF mineral shifts do not affect sweat mineral concentrations. Arm bag sweat mineral concentrations are initially elevated due to skin surface contaminants that are not removed despite meticulous cleaning (e.g., under fingernails, on arm hair), then decrease with extended sweating and approach those measured from the scapular region.

Sex, level of competition, and exposure to sport were among risk factors analyzed.Results: Among 20 336 person-years, 1206 cadets sustained ankle sprain. Syndesmotic (6.7%) and medial (5.1%) ankle sprains had an incidence rate (IR) of 4.8 and 3.5 per 1000 person-years, respectively. Compared with women, men were 3 times more likely to experience medial ankle sprain (IR ratio [IRR] 3.37; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 10.74], but there was no difference in rate of syndesmotic sprains by sex (IRR 1.06; 95% CI: 0.58, 1.95). Athletics accounted for 81% of syndesmotic sprains and 64% of medial sprains. Sprint football (52.3), team handball (men’s, 34.7), soccer (men’s, 30.5; women’s, 6.5), and basketball (men’s, 24.8; women’s, 6.7) had the highest syndesmotic IR per 100 000 athlete-exposures. Medial sprain IR was highest in men’s rugby (16.6) and gymnastics (14.0). When analyzed by athlete-exposure, male intercollegiate athletes had a greater risk of syndesmotic sprain than their female counterparts (3.53; 95% CI: 1.26, 9.83). Furthermore, intercollegiate level of competition had an increased risk of syndesmotic sprain when compared with intramural level (IRR 2.41; 95% CI: 1.03, 5.65).Conclusion: Male athletes have an over threefold greater risk of medial ankle sprain. Male sex and higher level of competition are risk factors for syndesmotic ankle sprain during athletics.

While cognitive and perceptual impairments in sleep deprived individuals are widespread, some abilities remain intact. In an effort to characterize these effects, some have suggested an impairment of complex decision-making ability despite intact ability to follow simple rules. To examine this trade-off, 24-hour total sleep deprived individuals performed two versions of a resource acquisition foraging task, one in which exploration is optimal (to succeed, abandon low value, high saliency options) and another in which exploitation is optimal (to succeed, refrain from switching between options). Sleep deprived subjects exhibited decreased performance on the exploitation task compared to non-sleep deprived controls, yet both groups exhibited increased performance on the exploratory task. These results speak to previous neuropsychological work on cognitive control.

Blue monochromatic light has also been shown to be more effective than longer-wavelength light for enhancing alertness. Disturbed circadian rhythms and sleep loss have been described as risk factors for astronauts and NASA ground control workers, as well as civilians. Such disturbances can result in impaired alertness and diminished performance. Prior to exposing subjects to short-wavelength light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (peak λ = 469 nm; 1/2 peak bandwidth = 26 nm), the ocular safety exposure to the blue LED light was confirmed by an independent hazard analysis using the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists exposure limits. Subsequently, a fluence-response curve was developed for plasma melatonin suppression in healthy subjects (n = 8: mean age of 23.9 ± 0.5 years) exposed to a range of irradiances of blue LED light. Subjects with freely reactive pupils were exposed to light between 2:00 and 3:30 AM. Blood samples were collected before and after light exposures and quantified for melatonin. The results demonstrate that increasing irradiances of narrowband blue-appearing light can elicit increasing plasma melatonin suppression in healthy subjects (P < 0.0001). The data were fit to a sigmoidal fluence-response curve (R² = 0.99; ED50 = 14.19 µW/cm²). A comparison of mean melatonin suppression with 40 µW/cm² from 4,000 K broadband white fluorescent light, currently used in most general lighting fixtures, suggests that narrow bandwidth blue LED light may be stronger than 4,000 K white fluorescent light for suppressing melatonin.

Additionally, and somewhat confusingly, the term has been used in places to refer to displays that change their contents depending on situational context only rather than on any awareness of the user. Much of the research on adaptive displays has been funded by the military, the Federal Government and NASA. Several important topics that were a focus of interest at this conference have significant military relevance.

JO - Biotechnology Progress JF - Biotechnology Progress Y1 - 2006/02/03/ VL - 22 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 233 EP - 240 SN - 87567938 AB - A process for the rapid development and optimization of the fermentation process for an antibotulinum neurotoxin antibody fragment (bt-Fab) production expressed in Escherichia coli was achieved via a high-throughput process proteomics and statistical experimental design. This process, using retentate chromatography-surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (RC-SELDI MS), was employed for identifying and quantifying bt-Fab antibody in complex biological samples for the optimization of microbial fermentation conditions. Five variables (type of culture media, glycerol concentration, post-induction temperature, IPTG concentration, and incubation time after induction) were statistically combined using an experimental 25-1 fractional factorial design and tested for their effects on maximal bt-Fab antibody production. When the effects of individual variables and their interactions were assessed, type of media and post-induction temperature showed statistically significant increase in yield of the fermentation process for the maximal bt-Fab antibody production. This study establishes an integral approach as a valuable tool for the rapid development of manufacturing processes for producing various biological materials. To verify the RC-SELDI MS method, a Fab-specific immuno-affinity HPLC assay developed here was also employed for the quantification of the bt-Fab antibody in crude lysate samples obtained during the fermentation optimization process. Similar results were obtained.

Although some species are widely distributed throughout the central and eastern United States, many others are localized and found only in certain watersheds. For example, the fat three-ridge mussel, Amblema neislerii (Lea, 1858), is now restricted to the Apalachicola River, Florida. Although results of surveys conducted during the 20th century suggest that this species was always rare in the river, our findings indicate that in moderately depositional areas near shore, A. neislerii is common-to-abundant and exhibits good evidence of recent recruitment. In 6 surveys between 1996 and 2003, divers and waders searched for mussels at approximately 100 sites in the 171-km-long river. Over 4,500 live mussels were collected and 19 species were identified. Amblema neislerii dominated the bivalve fauna at moderately depositional sites where it constituted approximately 36% of the fauna. Evidence of recent recruitment (live individuals less than 30 mm total shell length) was evident at many sites. This article examines the status of A. neislerii in the Apalachicola River based on a literature review and recent surveys.

A pesar de que algunas especies están ampliamente distribuidas por todo el centro y la parte este de los EE.UU., muchas otras están localizadas y se encuentran solo en ciertos acuíferos. Por ejemplo, el mejillón Amblema neislerii (Lea, 1858) está ahora restricto al Río Apalachicola, Florida. Aunque los resultados de conteos realizados durante el siglo 20 sugieren que esta especie siempre fue rara en el río nuestros resultados indican que en áreas cerca de la orilla de deposición moderada, A.neislerii es de común a abundante y hay buena evidencia de reclutamiento reciente. En 6 conteos de 1996 a 2003, buzos y vadeadores buscaron mejillones en aproximadamente 100 lugares en el estrecho de 171 km del río. Mas de 4,500 mejillones vivos fueron recolectados y se identificaron 19 especies. Amblema neislerii domina la fauna bi-valvular en lugares de deposición moderada, donde formaba parte del 36% de la fauna. Evidencia de reclutamiento reciente (individuos vivos de menos de 30mm de largo de concha) estaba presente en muchos de los lugares.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 42 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Four approaches for deriving estimates of near-surface soil moisture from radar imagery in a semiarid, sparsely vegetated rangeland were evaluated against in situ measurements of soil moisture. The approaches were based on empirical, physical, semiempirical, and image difference techniques. The empirical approach involved simple linear regression of radar backscatter on soil moisture, while the integral equation method (IEM) model was used in both the physical and semiempirical approaches. The image difference or delta index approach is a new technique presented here for the first time. In all cases, spatial averaging to the watershed scale improved agreement with observed soil moisture. In the empirical approach, variation in radar backscatter explained 85% of the variation in observed soil moisture at the watershed scale. For the physical and best semiempirical adjustment to the physical model, the root-mean-square errors (RMSE) between modeled and observed soil moisture were 0.13 and 0.04, respectively. Practical limitations to obtaining surface roughness measurements limit IEM utility for large areas. The purely image-based delta index has significant operational advantage in soil moisture estimates for broad areas. Additionally, satellite observations of backscatter used in the delta index indicated an approximate 1:1 relationship with soil moisture that explained 91% of the variability, with RMSE = 0.03. Results showed that the delta index is scaled to the range in observed soil moisture and may provide a purely image based model. It should be tested in other watersheds to determine if it implicitly accounts for surface roughness, topography, and vegetation. These are parameters that are difficult to measure over large areas, and may influence the delta index.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 72 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 478 EP - 483 SN - 00992240 AB - Bacteriophage MS2 is used in place of pathogenic viruses in a wide variety of studies that range from testing of compounds for disinfecting surfaces to studying environmental transport and fate of pathogenic viruses in groundwater. MS2 is also used as a pathogen simulant in the research, development, and testing (including open air tests) of methods, systems, and devices for the detection of pathogens in both the battlefield and homeland defense settings. PCR is often used as either an integral part of such detection systems or as a reference method to assess the sensitivity and specificity of microbial detection. To facilitate the detection of MS2 by PCR, we describe here a set of real-time fluorogenic reverse transcription-PCR assays. The sensitivity of the assays (performed with primer pairs and corresponding dye-labeled probes) ranged from 0.4 to 40 fg of MS2 genomic RNA (200 to 20,000 genome equivalents). We also demonstrate the usefulness of the primer pairs in assays without dye-labeled probe that included the DNA-binding dye SYBR green. None of the assays gave false-positive results when tested against 400 pg of several non-MS2 nucleic acid targets.

Westmoreland, or to praise his successor, General Creighton Abrams. This interpretation is simplistic and inaccurate. Although the report criticized aspects of the war under Westmoreland, its target was really the U.S. and Vietnamese governments. Moreover, PROVN's conclusions were less radical and its remedies less novel than observers have tended to admit. A fresh look at PROVN reveals significant continuities in thought between Westmoreland, the report, and Abrams.

The word "Dresden" is typically one of the first uttered whenever the topic of strategic bombing is raised. And yet, like many other high-profile historical events, the Dresden raid is encrusted with myth and misunderstanding. This essay is an effort to make sense of a complicated and much misunderstood episode in the history of modern warfare-and to make sense of it in the context in which it occurred. The essay draws upon the rich recent literature on Dresden, earlier histories, and a wide array of primary sources in an effort to provide - for teachers, scholars, and general readers - a comprehensive but still concise overview of the air raid that has won such a central place in the history of the Second World War.

Piezoelectric thin films are capable of generating very large actuation forces, but their motion is not easily directed into lateral displacement in microscale devices. A new piezoelectric thin-film actuator that uses a combination of piezoelectric unimorph beams to generate lateral displacement has been developed. The piezoelectric actuators were fabricated using chemical-solution-derived lead zirconate titanate thin films. These actuators have demonstrated forces greater than 7 mN at displacements of nearly 1 μm, with maximum stroke lengths at 20 V greater than 5 μm in a 500-μm-long by 100-μm-wide actuator. Force and displacement capabilities can be manipulated through simple changes to the actuator design, while actuator nonlinearity can produce dramatic gains in work capacity and stroke length for longer actuators.

The radioisotope direct-charged electrostatic actuation of the piezoelectric unimorph cantilever results in the conversion of radiation energy into mechanical energy stored in the strained unimorph cantilever. The gradual accumulation of the actuation charges leads to the pull-in of the unimorph cantilever into the radioisotope thin-film, and the resulting discharge leads to vibrations in the unimorph cantilever. During the vibrations, the stored mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by the piezoelectric thin-film. The generator was realized by using both microfabricated lead zirconate titanate oxide-silicon (PZT-Si) and aluminum nitride-silicon (AIN-Si) unimorph cantilevers. The radioisotope direct-charged electrostatic actuation of the AIN-Si unimorph cantilevers by a 2.9-mCi 63Ni thin-film radiating 0.3 μW led to charge-discharge-vibrate cycles that resulted in the generation of 0.25% duty cycle 12.95-μW power pulses (across an optimal load impedance of 521 kΩ) at an overall energy conversion efficiency of 3.97%. These electrical power pulses can potentially be useful for periodically sampling sensor microsystems.

By restricting our design modifications to the vertical dimension, the tunability is achieved without increasing the device footprint. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to evaluate the effects of geometry and design on electrostatic spring strength and linearity. All structural components were fabricated using gray-scale technology, simultaneously defining all vertical levels using a single lithography and dry-etching step. Subsequent testing achieved bidirectional resonant frequency tuning (> 17%) through the creation of electrostatic spring constants as high as 1.06 N/m (at 70 V) and 1.45 N/m (at 120 V). While the current resonant devices show evidence of nonlinear stiffness coefficients at large oscillation amplitudes (> 10 µm), multiple design options are introduced and simulated as potential solutions.

The switch uses solution chemistry-derived lead zirconate titanate thin films spun deposited onto a high-resistivity silicon substrate with coplanar waveguide transmission lines. Actuation voltages, applied via circuits independent of the RF circuitry, average less than 10 V, with switch operation demonstrated as low as 2 V. The series switch exhibits better than 20-dB isolation from dc up to 65 GHz and as large as 70 dB below 1 GHz. In the closed state, the switch has an insertion loss less than 1 dB up to 40 GHz, limited in this demonstration by substrate losses from the elastic layer used to stress control the piezoelectric actuators. Switching speeds for the different designs are in the range of 40-60 ms. Thermal sensitivity measurements show no change in isolation observed for temperatures up to 125 ° C. However, an increase in actuation voltage is required at elevated temperatures.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology J1 - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology PY - 2008/04// Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 509 SN - 10518215 AB - Recently, among various data hiding techniques, a new subset, lossless data hiding, has received increasing interest. Most of the existing lossless data hiding algorithms are, however, fragile in the sense that the hidden data cannot be extracted out correctly after compression or other incidental alteration has been applied to the stego-image. The only existing semi-fragile (referred to as robust in this paper) lossless data hiding technique, which is robust against high-quality JPEG compression, is based on modulo-256 addition to achieve losslessness. In this paper, we first point out that this technique has suffered from the annoying salt-and-pepper noise caused by using modulo-256 addition to prevent overflow/underflow. We then propose a novel robust lossless data hiding technique, which does not generate salt-and-pepper noise. By identifying a robust statistical quantity based on the patchwork theory and employing it to embed data, differentiating the bit-embedding process based on the pixel group's distribution characteristics, and using error correction codes and permutation scheme, this technique has achieved both losslessness and robustness. It has been successfully applied to many images, thus demonstrating its generality. The experimental results show that the high visual quality of stego-images, the data embedding capacity, and the robustness of the proposed lossless data hiding scheme against compression are acceptable for many applications, including semi-fragile image authentication. Specifically, it has been successfully applied to authenticate losslessly compressed JPEG2000 images, followed by possible transcoding. It is expected that this new robust lossless data hiding algorithm can be readily applied in the medical field, law enforcement, remote sensing and other areas, where the recovery of original images is desired.

A simple model of current spreading in a ridge laser with a segmented contact is proposed and analyzed. We show that current spreading effects should be taken into account in lasers with low threshold current densities and high "opening" voltages. When applied to interband cascade lasers, the method gives an internal optical loss of ~10-17 cm-1 and a differential gain of ~2.9 cm/A at 80 K, which agrees well with previously reported Hakki-Paoli data. The limitations of the technique are discussed.

The seismic signal received on a geophone contains some energy that has propagated as seismic waves and some energy that couples from acoustic waves to seismic waves in the vicinity of the geophone. We use the frequency-domain coherence between the microphone and geophone signals to determine when the seismic signal is predominantly due to acoustic-to-seismic wave coupling. In frequency bands where the microphone and geophone coherence is above 0.8, the ratio of the seismic ground particle velocity to sound pressure—SAR—can be determined with less than 2 dB of error. The method is applied to data from a summer experiment with grass ground cover and at two winter experiments with snow-covered ground. At 100 Hz, the summer analysis yields a SAR value of 1.0 × 10-5 [(m/s)/Pa]. In addition, at 100 Hz, the two winter tests yield SAR between 0.1 × 10-5 and 1.0 × 10-5 [(m/s)/Pa]. In the later winter result, our vehicle-derived SAR estimate is shown to be in excellent agreement with SAR estimates obtained from blank pistol shots. Through the opportunistic exploitation background noise sources, our approach opens the possibility for automatic adaptation of unattended acoustic area, monitoring sensors to changing ground conditions.

The analytical formulation is based on the ellipsoidal coordinate system that is able to model real 3-D geometries as opposed to bodies of revolutions like within a spheroidal approach. At the frequencies of interest (tens of hertz to hundreds of kilohertz), conduction currents in the soil are negligible, and the fields are computed in the magnetoquasistatic regime based on the Laplace equation. Inside the objects, where the wave equation governs the field distribution, the currents are assumed to have a small penetration depth, allowing for the analytical simplification of the field components, which become decoupled at the surface. This approximation, which is valid across the entire frequency spectrum because of the high permeability and conductivity, avoids the necessity of using ellipsoidal wave functions and results in a considerable saving of computational time. Numerical results favorably compare with numerical and experimental data, which proves the usefulness of our method to model UXOs in clutter-contaminated soils. Finally, the optimization approach used to match our numerical predictions with experimental data demonstrates the possibility of remotely inferring the material properties of objects.

The novel aspect of the method is that it makes use of emissivity skewness. The main purpose of vegetation detection for mine detection is to minimize false alarms. Vegetation, such as round bushes, may be mistaken as mines by mine detection algorithms, particularly in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. We employ an unsupervised vegetation detection algorithm that exploits statistics of emissivity spectra of vegetation in long-wave infrared spectrum for identification. This information is incorporated into a Choquet integral-based fusion structure, which fuses detector outputs from hyperspectral imagery and SAR imagery. Vegetation mapping is shown to improve mine detection results over a variety of images and fusion models.

The classified objects include homogeneous spheroids and composite metallic assemblages meant to resemble unexploded ordnance. An analytical model is used to generate the necessary training data for each learning method. SVM and NN are shown to be successful in classifying three different types of objects on the basis of size. They are capable of fast classification, making them suitable for real-time application. Furthermore, both methods are robust and have a good tolerance of 20-dB SNR additive Gaussian noise. SVM shows promise in dealing with noise due to uncertainty in the object's position and orientation.

The prime power source is a longitudinally driven shock wave depolarization of a ferroelectric ceramic. The energy-carrying elements of the shock wave ferroelectric generators (FEGs) were poled Pb(Zr52Ti48)O3 polycrystalline ceramic disks with 0.35 cm3 volume. FEGs charged 9 nF, 18 nF, and 36 nF capacitor banks and provided pulsed-power with peak amplitudes up to 0.29 MW. The maximum efficiency of electric charge transfer from shocked Pb(Zr52 Ti48 )O3 elements to a capacitor bank was 46%. We demonstrated experimentally that the FEG-capacitor bank system can perform as an oscillatory circuit. A methodology was developed for numerical simulation of the operation of the FEG-capacitor bank system; the simulation results were in a good agreement with the experimental results.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices JF - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices J1 - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices PY - 2008/08// Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 55 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2061 EP - 2070 SN - 00189383 AB - A methodology for characterizing the transient response of 4H-SiC MOSFETs has been developed. The method combines new physical models, simulation techniques, and experiment to provide insight into the details of MOSFET time-dependent dynamics. A new physical model for generation- recombination between interface traps and channel electrons was derived, facilitating the analysis of trap dynamics in the energy, space, and time domains. A set of algorithms was developed, which enabled these rates to be incorporated into the drift-diffusion model so that their effect on the switching of 4H-SiC MOSFETs could be numerically evaluated. The correlation of simulated and experimental dc and transient drain current allowed the extraction of the density and the effective capture cross sections of interface traps. It was found that states near the band edge would become occupied much more quickly and had a much larger effective capture cross section than those that were several tenths of an electronvolt away from the band edge. This has led to the conclusion that the fast traps with large capture cross sections are likely to be interface states, whereas the traps with the smaller capture cross sections are a combination of midgap interface states and oxide traps. The observation of trap dynamics suggests that improvements in long-term device stability can be achieved by reducing oxide traps, whereas short-term stability can be improved by the reduction of interface traps.

The model has been verified for an extensive range of bias conditions and temperatures. It incorporates details of interface trap densities, Coulombic interface trap scattering, surface roughness scattering, phonon scattering, velocity saturation, and their dependences on bias and temperature. The physics-based models were implemented into our device simulator that is tailored for 4H-SiC MOSFET analysis. By using a methodology of numerical modeling, simulation, and close correlation with experimental data, values for various physical parameters governing the operation of 4H-SiC MOSFETs, including the temperature-dependent interface trap density of states, the root-mean-square height and correlation length of the surface roughness, and the electron saturation velocity in the channel and its dependence on temperature, have been extracted. Coulomb scattering and surface roughness scattering limit surface mobility for a wide range of temperatures in the subthreshold and linear regions of device operation, whereas the saturation velocity and the high-field mobility limit current in the saturation region.

This effect has a strong measurement time dependence. For example, a 20-μs-long gate ramp used to measure the I-V characteristic and extract a threshold voltage was found to result in a VT instability three to four times greater than that measured with a 1-s-long gate ramp. The VT instability was three times greater in devices that did not receive a NO postoxidation anneal compared with those that did. This instability effect is consistent with electrons directly tunneling in and out of near-interfacial oxide traps, which in irradiated Si MOS was attributed to border traps.

This effort examines the potential impact of introducing autonomous mobility to control manned vehicles while operators performed secure mobility. Eleven Soldiers participated in an experimental task requiring concurrent control of a manned and an unmanned Stryker performing a road march, scanning of the local environment for targets, and planning of a reconnaissance route for a third simulated asset. The control of the manned vehicle was varied between autonomous and manual control and several speed and accuracy variables were examined for each task. Subjective measures of operator workload, stress, and motion sickness were also examined. The results support the potential benefits of incorporating autonomous mobility into manned platforms. In speed-matched conditions, autonomous mobility was associated with decreased manned vehicle mission time, faster operator reaction times to targets, greater instances of multitasking while under motion, and lower subjective operator workload measures than with manual driving. In conclusion, autonomous mobility technologies have the potential to free up resources from the vehicle operator and allow for better operator performance on tasks other than vehicle control.

How would this change your method of teaching an introductory course in probability and statistics? At the United States Military Academy at West Point, wireless laptop computers have become a permanent part of the classroom and have changed our approach to teaching. Over the last five years, we have made a concerted effort to find the improve- ments technology has to offer and to steer clear of the pitfalls technology can bring to the classroom. Our method of teaching a calculus-based probability and statistics course has evolved into a data-oriented approach to understanding distributions. We present some methods we have developed that use spreadsheets and mathematical software systems to create an environment that helps students understand the foundations of probability theory and statistical inference.

However, from a modeling perspective, before the benefits of such a strategy can be attained, we must first be able to quantitatively characterize the behavior of the model coefficients as well as the model predictions as a function of prediction horizon. We need to determine if the model coefficients reflect viable physiologic dependencies of the individual glycemic measurements and whether the model is stable with respect to small changes in noise levels, leading to accurate near-future predictions with negligible time lag. We assessed the behavior of linear autoregressive data-driven models developed under three possible modeling scenarios, using continuous glucose measurements of nine subjects collected on a minute-by-minute basis for approximately 5 days. Simulation results indicated that stable and accurate models for near-future glycemic predictions (<60 mm) with clinically acceptable time lags are attained only when the raw glucose measurements are smoothed and the model coefficients are regularized. This study provides a starting point for further needed investigations before real-time deployment can be considered.

The techniques include a first-principles, physiology-based (SCE- NARIO) model, a purely data-driven model, and a hybrid model that combines first-principles and data-driven components to provide an early, short-term (20-30 mm ahead) warning of an impending heat injury. Their performance is investigated using two distinct datasets, a Field study and a Laboratory study. The results indicate that, for up to a 30 mm prediction horizon, the purely data-driven model is the most accurate technique, followed by the hybrid. For this prediction horizon, the first-principles SCE. NARIO model produces root mean square prediction errors that are twice as large as those obtained with the other two techniques. Another important finding is that, if properly regularized and developed with representative data, data-driven and hybrid models can be made "portable" from individual to individual and across studies, thus significantly reducing the need for collecting developmental data and constructing and tuning individual-specific models.

First, the model is tested for numerical limitations on the higher order bottom slope and curvature terms using idealized cases of a simple depth transition and a symmetric trapezoidal trench, with comparisons of the MMSE to both the traditional mild slope equation (MSE) solution and a shallow water analytic solution. It is demonstrated that the model gives accurate solutions on slopes as steep as 1:1, and that the solutions from all three models agree in the shallow water region. However, for waves in intermediate depths, predicted wave reflection from nearshore depressions is shown to differ significantly between the MMSE and MSE models. Next, geometrical data from a wide range of existing and proposed borrow pits and a submarine canyon are gathered and analyzed for whether wave reflection is an important process near realistic nearshore depressions. The geometric data show that realistic nearshore depressions lie within the tested range of the MMSE model and that borrow pits are generally not in shallow water, which means it is important to use a MMSE-type model to calculate reflection from these features. In addition, storm conditions on average lead to a 50% increase in reflection coefficient in comparison to the mean wave conditions, due to the increase in wave period. Finally, the results also indicate borrow pit design criteria that can be used to ensure minimal reflection.

To enhance the practical applicability of such models, a method is developed to accommodate the effects of rubble mound structures that are frequently found along the sides of harbor entrance channels. The results of this method are found to match those of other mathematical models under appropriate conditions but also to deviate from those of parabolic approximations in some cases as a consequence of increased angular scattering induced by dissipation. Comparison with hydraulic model data also shows that this approach is useful for designing pocket wave absorbers that are used to attenuate wave heights in entrance channels.

Computer, hand, and journal literature searches identified 53 potential studies. On review, 28 of these studies met the inclusion criteria of having a perceived and actual (i.e., objective) measure of physical fitness. Using random effects modeling procedures, we found a medium mean effect size of .38 (N = 33 independent effect sizes, p < .001, Fail-Safe N = 4,654). Moderator analyses revealed that younger people had more accurate estimates of their fitness, and standardized perceived fitness measures had significantly larger effect sizes than unstandardized perceived fitness measures. In summary, men and women of all ages accurately perceived their fitness level, with larger effects evidenced for younger people and for studies that used standardized perceived fitness measures. Unfortunately, because most Americans are either low active or sedentary, their perceptions reveal that they are not fit. Research limitations and future directions are discussed.

Participants (N = 104) consisted of three grade level groups (first/second, third and fourth). Within each grade level participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental groups received a three-week instructional unit of cup stacking. The control groups received the standard physical education curriculum. All participants completed pretests and posttests on three tasks designed to measure hand-eye coordination. The results indicated significantly faster performance for older children than younger children for all three tasks. None of the tasks were statistically influenced by the cup stacking unit. Overall, the results of this study indicate that participation in a three-week instructional unit does not significantly improve hand-eye coordination in elementary age children.

Thirty cadets at the United States Military Academy completed the study (14 women and 16 men, ages 18-24 years). On 3 consecutive days, subjects performed 1 of the 2 warm up routines (DWU or SWU) or performed no warm up (NWUl). The 3 warm up protocols lasted 10 minutes each and were counterbalanced to avoid carryover effects. After 1-2 minutes of recovery, subjects performed 3 tests of power or agility. The order of the performance tests (T-shuttle run, underhand medicine ball throw for distance, and 5-step jump) also was counterbalanced. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed better performance scores after the DWU for all 3 performance tests (p < 0.01), relative to the SWU and NWU. There were no significant differences between the SWU and NWU for the medicine ball throw and the T-shuttle run, but the SWU was associated with better scores on the 5-step jump (p < 0.01). Because the results of this study indicate a relative performance enhancement with the DWU, the utility of warm up routines that use static stretching as a stand-alone activity should be reassessed.

Data were collected primarily in 2001 through observations, interviews, paper content analyses, and surveys in a Midwest urban military high school. The data reveal how the school's unique military subculture develops students by enabling them to accrue various forms of social capital, including military capital, and by developing cadets' civility, leadership skills and agency, discipline, and propensity for education. Therefore, the academy graduate should possess enhanced life skills and increased chances to achieve upward mobility, making this school a potentially powerful educational institution for underprivileged urban-minority youth.

This article reports a systematic content analysis of 46 produced films between 1935 and 2002 that spotlight children, teenagers, and adults from military-service-related families. The results show a diverse range of portrayals across military branches, wars, genders, races, ages, military ranks, roles, and familial relationships. Furthermore, demands of military family life are portrayed in a manner inconsistent with real life experiences, reinforcing a modest civil-military gap. Finally, six patterned characteristics emerge from the content analysis, including intergenerational military occupational linkages, social deviance, precociousness, social mobility, youth romance, and parent-child conflicts. This article partially confirms studies of civilian youth in film, suggesting a diverse cinematic experience. The results highlight a struggle in the negotiation between self-conceptions and self-images of children from military families, where a reinforced stereotype of "military brat" is constructed in American cinema.

METHODS: Recruit suicides were identified through the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. We calculated crude, category-specific, and age-adjusted mortality rates as deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. RESULTS: There were 46 onsite suicides by gunshot (39%), hanging (35%), fall/jump (22%), and drug overdose (4%). An additional 20 recruits committed suicide from 1980 through 2004 after leaving the military training site. Methods included gunshot (70%), hanging (20%), fall/jump (5%), and poisoning (5%). Therefore, the overall recruit suicide rate was 6.9 (95% confidence interval = 5.4-8.8) deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Only three (5%) suicides occurred among females resulting in a 3.5 times higher risk for males compared to females (95% confidence interval = 1.1-11.2). CONCLUSIONS: Suicide rates among military recruits were lower than those of comparably aged U.S. civilians. However, the occurrence of any suicide during basic military training emphasizes the importance of routine evaluation of the effectiveness of each military service's suicide prevention program as it applies to this population.

As part of ongoing construction at Fort Detrick, Maryland, what appeared to be a small bomblet was found buried in the ground at the site of an old test grid. A sample of a clear, straw-colored liquid was aseptically removed from the plastic reservoir; the results of routine cultures on standard bacteriological media were negative. DNA was extracted from the sample and found to be 99% identical to S. marcescens. These results demonstrate the ability to identify the contents of a biological munition that had been buried for approximately 50 years.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2005/12/15/ VL - 187 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 8350 EP - 8360 SN - 00219193 AB - The bacterial quorum-sensing autoinducer 2 (Al-2) has received intense interest because the gene for its synthase, luxS, is common among a large number of bacterial species. We have identified luxS-controlled genes in Escherichia coli under two different growth conditions using DNA microarrays. Twenty-three genes were affected by luxS deletion in the presence of glucose, and 63 genes were influenced by luxS deletion in the absence of glucose. Minimal overlap among these gene sets suggests the role of luxS is condition dependent. Under the latter condition, the metE gene, the lsrACDBFG operon, and the flanking genes of the lsr operon (lsrR, lsrK, tam, and yneE) were among the most significantly induced genes by luxS. The E. coli lsr operon includes an additional gene, tam, encoding an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase. Also, lsrR and lsrK belong to the same operon, lsrRK, which is positively regulated by the cyclic AMP receptor protein and negatively regulated by LsrR. lsrK is additionally transcribed by a promoter between lsrR and lsrK. Deletion of luxS was also shown to affect genes involved in methionine biosynthesis, methyl transfer reactions, iron uptake, and utilization of carbon, it was surprising, however, that so few genes were affected by luxS deletion in this E. coli K-12 strain under these conditions. Most of the highly induced genes are related to AI-2 production and transport. These data are consistent with the function of LuxS as an important metabolic enzyme but appear not to support the role of AI-2 as a true signal molecule for E. coli W3110 under the investigated conditions.

However, limited data exist on the emission characteristics from this source. Various organic and inorganic compounds both in the gas and particle phase were measured in the emissions of prescribed burnings conducted at two pine-dominated forest areas in Georgia. The measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PM2.5 allowed the determination of emission factors for the flaming and smoldering stages of prescribed burnings. The VOC emission factors from smoldering were distinctly higher than those from flaming except for ethene, ethyne, and organic nitrate compounds. VOC emission factors show that emissions of certain aromatic compounds and terpenes such as α and β-pinenes, which are important precursors for secondary organic aerosol (SOA), are much higher from active prescribed burnings than from fireplace wood and laboratory open burning studies. Levoglucosan is the major particulate organic compound (POC) emitted for all these studies, though its emission relative to total organic carbon (mg/g OC) differs significantly. Furthermore, cholesterol, an important fingerprint for meat cooking, was observed only in our in situ study indicating a significant release from the soil and soil organisms during open burning. Source apportionment of ambient primary fine particulate OC measured at two urban receptor locations 20-25km downwind yields 74 ±11% during and immediately after the burns using our new in situ profile. In comparison with the previous source profile from laboratory simulations, however, this OC contribution is on average 27 ±5% lower.

In this study, two aerobic bacteria that are capable of using RDX as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen to support their growth were isolated from surface soil. These bacterial strains were identified by their fatty acid profiles and 165 ribosomal gene sequences as Williamsin sp. KTR4 and Gordonia sp. KTR9. The physiology of each strain was characterized with respect to the rates of RDX degradation and [U-14C] RDX mineralization when RDX was supplied as a sole carbon and nitrogen source in the presence and absence of competing carbon and nitrogen sources. Strains KTR4 and KTR9 degraded 180 μM RDX within 72 h when RDX served as the only added carbon and nitrogen source while growing to total protein concentrations of 18.6 and 16.5 μg/ml, respectively. Mineralization of [U-14C]RDX to 14CO2 was 30% by strain KTR4 and 27% by KTR9 when RDX was the only added source of carbon and nitrogen. The addition of (NH4)2SO4 greatly inhibited KTR9's degradation of RDX but had little effect on that of KTR4. These are the first two pure bacterial cultures isolated that are able to use RDX as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. These two genera possess different physiologies with respect to RDX mineralization, and each can serve as a useful microbiological model for the study of RDX biodegradation with regard to physiology, biochemistry, and genetics.

The products thus possess many sources of uncertainties that vary spatially and temporally. Spatially identifying the sources of uncertainties, modeling their accumulation and propagation, and finally, quantifying them will be critical to control the quality of spatial data. This paper demonstrates a methodology and its applications for a case study in which uncertainty of predicted soil erosion is hierarchically partitioned into various primary components on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The methodology is based on a regionalized variable theory of variables. It integrates remote sensing aided co-simulation algorithms in geo-statistics, and uncertainty and error budget methods in uncertainty analysis. The simulation algorithms generate realizations that can be used to calculate local estimates, and the variances and co-variances between them. Uncertainty and error budget methods partition the uncertainty of output into various input components and quantify their relative uncertainty contributions. The results can thus suggest the main uncertainty sources and their variation spatially, and further provide a rationale to reduce errors in map generation and application.

CL-20 has a greater specific energy than 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene, RDX, or octahydro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetranitro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetrazocine. Since the use of CL-20 in munitions is still in the experimental stage, little is known about the environmental fate and toxicity of CL-20. The aims of the study were to quantify and compare the rates of degradation and thus determine the relative importance of biological vs. abiotic degradation of CL-20 and RDX in these aerobic soils. This data will help to define differences in degradation mechanisms that affect the environmental fate and impact of these two explosives. Surface and subsurface soils were obtained from China Lake, California, and from active firing ranges at Fort Bliss, Texas, and Fort Polk, Louisiana. China Lake is a Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division site located about 250 km north of Los Angeles, California.

JO - Water Resources Research JF - Water Resources Research Y1 - 2005/11// VL - 41 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 00431397 AB - Unsteady flow surges in rivers can be idealized as a transition between lower steady flow downstream and higher steady flow upstream. Simple wave and monoclinal wave models are analytical solutions of the dynamic wave equations that can be used to model these surges. The simple wave model neglects bed slope and flow resistance, simulating surge propagation over relatively short distances. The monoclinal wave profile evolves progressively, and this model is generally applicable at larger distances. These models are easy to use and generally apply to different flow conditions. However, both models lack criteria to determine their suitability for specific applications. The objectives of this paper are to develop and to assess criteria to guide simple wave and monoclinal wave model applications and to use the models to gain insights into the inertia and slope-flow resistance contributions to momentum and the nonlinear effects of increasing surge amplitude. Simple wave model application criteria include a dimensionless time, the amplitude to initial amplitude ratio for a linear dynamic wave traveling downstream, a distance scale, and the ratio between the measured surge celerity and the c+ dynamic wave celerity of the high flow upstream. The length of the monoclinal-diffusion wave profile gives the minimum distance needed to develop a steady monoclinal wave profile. Model capabilities to describe flow surges and the adequacy of the application criteria are evaluated with data from laboratory and field studies covering a wide range of conditions. Profile celerity and high flow velocity behind the surge are always greater for the simple wave than for the monoclinal wave because of the absence of slope and flow resistance effects. The differences between the models are enhanced as Froude number decreases and as surge amplitude increases.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2005/11/02/2005 Supplement VL - 89 M3 - Article SP - S91 EP - S99 SN - 00179078 AB - Federal and state regulatory agencies that are concerned with issues of environmental management have adopted approaches toward policy-making that are dose- and risk-informed. To that end they (and others) have developed environmental models and computer codes to mimic the transport of contaminants along air, water, food-chain, and related pathways for estimating potential exposures, doses, and risks to individuals, populations, and ecosystems. Their calculations commonly find application in the planning of remediation, and thereafter in the demonstration of compliance with federal and state cleanup standards. As the models and codes have become more sophisticated, so also have requirements on the accuracy and level of detail of the numerical point values and probability distributions of environmental transfer factors and other parameters that serve as input parameters to them. In response to this growing need, the federal Inter-agency Steering Committee On Radiation Standards (ISCORS) and the Argonne National Laboratory have developed an on-line, national repository of information on parameter values and distributions of known provenance and demonstrated utility. The IS-CORS Catalog of References to Parameter Values and Distributions Used in Environmental Pathway Modeling for Cleanup of Sites Contaminated with Radioactivity is a web-based, indexed compilation of references, compendia, databases, and other sources of peer-reviewed information on parameters. It does not itself contain numerical point values or distributions for any particular parameter, but rather it provides links or directions to sites or other published materials where such information can be obtained. Designed to be user-friendly, easily search. able, and readily up-dateable, the Catalog is being filled, after some initial priming, mainly through on-line submissions of proposed references by the Catalog users themselves. The relevant information on a proposed reference is submitted to ISCORS in a simple, standardized format; it is vetted (with acceptance criteria such as publication in a peer-reviewed technical journal, or appearance in a formally-issued federal agency report) and then added semi-automatically to the Catalog. Built around a relational data- base, the system offers subject- and text-search capabilities, provides information on parameter definitions and methods of measurement, on transport/exposure pathways, and on standard models and codes. The Catalog is intended for use by (and being populated by) the professionals, managers, and others involved or interested in the application of pathway modeling to estimate doses and risks associated with sites contaminated with radioactive or other hazardous materials.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 2005/10/28/ VL - 310 IS - 5748 M3 - Article SP - 657 EP - 660 SN - 00368075 AB - A major challenge in predicting Earth's future climate state is to understand feedbacks that alter greenhouse-gas forcing. Here we synthesize field data from arctic Alaska, showing that terrestrial changes in summer albedo contribute substantially to recent high-latitude warming trends. Pronounced terrestrial summer warming in arctic Alaska correlates with a lengthening of the snow-free season that has increased atmospheric heating locally by about 3 watts per square meter per decade (similar in magnitude to the regional heating expected over multiple decades from a doubling of atmospheric CO[sub 2]). The continuation of current trends in shrub and tree expansion could further amplify this atmospheric heating by two to seven times.

Here, the stereospecificity of the catalysis of cyclosarin (GF, O-cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate) hydrolysis by several enzymes was investigated. Stereospecificity was not evident at 3mM GF but was evident at 0.5mM GF. The differential effect was apparently due to fluoride-catalyzed racemization of the substrate. Alteromonas sp. JD6.5 organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA), Alteromonas haloplanktis OPAA and the wild-type phosphotriesterase (PTE) enzymes were all found to catalyze preferentially the hydrolysis of the (+)GF isomer, as determined by GC analysis of the remaining unreacted (−)GF isomer. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition experiments showed the purified (−)GF isomer to be approximately twice as toxic as the racemic mixture. One PTE mutant, H254G/H259W/L303T, was found to reverse the native PTE stereospecificity and preferentially catalyze the hydrolysis of the (−)GF isomer, as shown by its complementation of Alteromonas sp. JD6.5 OPAA and by GC analysis of the remaining (+)GF isomer. This procedure also permitted the individual preparation of either of the two GF isomers by enzymatic degradation followed by extraction of the remaining isomer.

The procedure involves visualization under differential- interference-contrast microscopy enhanced by high-resolution photography and further analysis by computer-assisted imaging. The method was used to analyze spore of Bacillus globigii in aerosols generated by a small (pressured metered-dose inhaler type) generator. Particles consisting in 1 or 2 spores accounted for 85% of all generated particles. This percentage rose to 91% when the same aerosol was collected on an Andersen cascade impactor that collected particles larger than 0.65 μm and was even higher (96%) when particles larger than 3.3 μm were also eliminated. These results demonstrate that the imaging analysis of aerosol particles collected on glass slides is sensitive to even relatively small changes in aerosol particle composition. The accuracy of the enhanced microscopic method described herein (differences between visual and computer analysis were approximately 3% of the total particle counts) seems adequate to determine the spore composition of aerosols of interest in biodefense.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2005/10// VL - 89 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 322 EP - 332 SN - 00179078 AB - The action spectra S(λ) used for risk assessment of ultraviolet (UV) sources has been widely used since its development over three decades ago. This "UV hazard function" is cited in many safety standards, and UV survey instruments are designed to have a fitting spectral response. The UV hazard function was developed to preclude acute injury and minimize chronic effects but was based upon the best available experimental data of that time. With more experimental data and easier computer methods available today, the action spectrum can be re-examined. Therefore, the published experimental thresholds for damage to the cornea and skin were studied as a function of wavelength to revalidate this action spectrum. A key step relates to the proper consideration of the spectral bandwidth used to determine each threshold and the assignment of an effective wavelength for each narrow-band. We methodically analyzed the uncertainties introduced by employing 1-, 5-, and 10-nm spectral bandwidths by comparing published biological threshold data. The errors introduced by using broader bandwidths become enormous within the critical spectral region of 300-320 nm. By convoluting the threshold data and weighting them with trial, or reference, action spectra, it is possible to determine the wavelengths in each bandwidth that are contributing most of the effective dose and correct the experimental action spectrum. It is concluded that the current hazard function S(λ) remains valid.

This second of two studies investigates recalcitrant, toxic, aromatic CL-20 intermediates that absorb from 370 to 430  nm. Our earlier study ( Struct. Chem. , 15, 2004) revealed that these intermediates were formed at high OH - concentrations via the chemically preferred pathway of breaking the C–C bond between the two cyclopentanes, thereby eliminating nitro groups, forming conjugated π bonds, and resulting in a pyrazine three-ring aromatic intermediate. In attempting to find and make dominant a more benign CL-20 transformation pathway, this current research validates hydroxylation results from both studies and examines CL-20 transformations via photo-induced free radical reactions. This article discusses CL-20 competing modes of degradation revealed through: computational calculation; UV/VIS and SF spectroscopy following alkaline hydrolysis; and photochemical irradiation to degrade CL-20 and its byproducts at their respective wavelengths of maximum absorption.

JO - Journal of Applied Toxicology JF - Journal of Applied Toxicology Y1 - 2005/09// VL - 25 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 427 EP - 434 SN - 0260437X AB - Hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (RDX), a widely used military explosive and soil and ground water contaminant of munitions manufacturing and artillery training sites, undergoes microbial nitroreductase metabolism to hexahydro‐1‐nitroso‐3,5‐dinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (MNX), hexahydro‐1,3‐dinitroso‐5‐nitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (DNX), and hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitroso‐1,3,5‐triazine (TNX). Human occupational and accidental exposures to RDX, as well as acute oral exposures in rats, result in seizures, but little is known about the toxicity of the RDX degradation products. The main objective of the present study was to determine the oral LD50 of the most potent RDX N‐nitroso product in female Sprague‐Dawley rats using the recently validated up‐and‐down procedure (UDP). With only 26 rats, MNX was identified as the most potent metabolite and a maximum likelihood estimate of 187 mg kg−1 (95% confidence interval 118–491 mg kg−1) for its LD50 was established and found equivalent to that of RDX determined with the same protocol. CNS toxicity, manifested as forelimb clonic seizures progressing to generalized clonic‐tonic seizures, was the critical adverse effect. Further, confirmation of the UDP LD50 for MNX with a fixed‐dose design enabled identification of 94 mg kg−1 as the highest nonlethal dose. An ED50 of 57 mg kg−1 was determined for neurotoxicity, while splenic hemosiderosis and decreased blood hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration occurred with a threshold at 94 mg kg−1 in 14‐day survivors. These studies, while providing new toxicity data necessary for the management of RDX‐contaminated sites, illustrate the efficiency of the UDP for comparative acute toxicity determinations and its value in guiding further characterization of dose dependency of identified adverse effects.

Lessons learned are based on responses to five questions to the NTRC. What was the best thing about the experience? What was the worst thing about the experience? What one thing was not done that should have been done? What is the most important lesson for similar future committees? Are there any other lessons? Several important cross-cutting themes were recommended for future national review groups: (1) a national review group adds value and (2) the Corps must early on think through the structure, process and use of the review group, including: the group''s purpose, the degree of independence or interaction, treatment of Committee members, the use of the group''s comments, scheduling of group activities, and needs to support the group. While the NTRC found much that should lead to improvements for future groups, it strongly recommends that seeking top professional advice during the course of study is appropriate for the Corps. Committee members found their experiences to be professionally and personally rewarding.

Consequently, production and use through testing and training at military installations has resulted in deposition of HMX in soil. Since these areas are often used by birds, the oral toxicity of HMX exposure to northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) was evaluated. Attempts to determine the acute lethal dose were unsuccessful. Initially, 8 birds (1 male/1 female per dose group) were orally dosed at levels ranging from 125 to 2125 mg HMX/kg body weight. A single death at the midrange resulted in subsequent trials of oral doses up to 10,760 mg/kg body weight. Only a single death occurred at 7173 mg/kg. A subsequent 28-d feeding study was then conducted to evaluate the potential for toxicity resulting from repetitive oral exposures. Northern bobwhite were exposed to concentrations of HMX in feed of either 10000, 1000, 100, or 0 mg/kg. These exposures resulted in a clear concentration-related reduction in feed consumption and body mass. Reductions in egg production in females were correlated with changes in body mass and feed consumption. Other physiological indicators were consistent with a considerable reduction in feed intake. These results suggest that HMX concentration is responsible for intense feed aversion behavior and thus not likely a factor that would appreciably contribute to risk for wild birds at military ranges.

Traditional simple random sampling often leads to a duplication of information and to a larger sample than is required. An optimal sampling grid spacing based on regionalized variable theory can greatly reduce the number of sample plots needed given a precision level for a study area. However, this method requires a set of ground data that exists or can be obtained via a pilot survey in order to derive a semivariogram for measuring the spatial variability of the variable of interest. In this study, we first developed a method to estimate the semivariogram of a ground or primary variable-vegetation cover from remotely sensed data instead of ground data-and then used it for determining optimal grid spacing for sampling the primary variable. The method developed can avoid the need for a pilot survey to obtain a ground dataset that has a good spatial distribution of plots and can be used to calculate the unbiased semivariogram of the ground variable when unbiased historical data are not available. This can reduce the total cost of collection of ground data. The accuracy of mapping vegetation cover based on this approach was compared to that generated with simple random sampling. A simple sensitivity analysis was conducted. The results show that this new method is very promising for determining optimal sampling grid spacing for estimating regional averages. When it is applied to determining sampling grid spacing for local estimation, a high correlation between vegetation cover and spectral variables is required.

Equilibrium adsorption capacities and heats of adsorption are important parameters for process analysis and design. Experimental adsorption isotherms were thus obtained for relevant organic vapors with activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) and coal-derived activated carbon adsorbents (COAC). The Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) equation was used to describe the adsorption isotherms. The DA parameters were analytically and experimentally shown to be temperature independent The resulting DA equations were used with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to analytically determine the isosteric heat of adsorption (ΔHs) of the adsorbate-adsorbent systems studied here. ACFC showed higher adsorption capacities for organic vapors than CDAC. ΔHs values for the adsorbates were independent of the temperature for the conditions evaluated. ΔHs values for acetone and benzene obtained in this study are comparable with values reported in the literature. This is the first time that ΔHs values for organic vapors and these adsorbents are evaluated with an expression based on the Polanyi adsorption potential and the Clausius- Clapeyron equation.

This study was conducted to determine the quantity and forms of ammonia adsorbed by clay-sized fractions of soils as a function of water content, exchangeable cation, and organic matter (OM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to evaluate in situ the mechanisms of interaction of H2O, NH3, and NH4+ with the clay-size fractions of a Blount loam (fine, illitic, mesic Aeric Epiaqualfs) and a Fayette silty clay loam (fine-silty, mixed, mesic, superactive Typic Hapludalfs). Due to NH3 dissolution in adsorbed water more total N was sorbed at high (90%) than at low (2%) relative humidity (RH) despite decrease in the amount of NH4+ sorbed. At high RH, the amount of NH4+, NH3, and total N increased by 12 to 23% on the Mg-exchanged compared with the Ca-exchanged soil days. Of the two soil clays, the smectitic sample (Fayette) sorbed more of both N species than the illitic sample (Blount). Samples with OM removed adsorbed significantly more ammonia than untreated samples. The mechanism suggested for ammonia sorption by soil clays is a combination of protonation on water associated with metal cations, coordination to the exchangeable cations and dissolution in pore water. Soil days can retain significant amounts of ammonium in excess of the cation exchange capacity (CEC) and out of competition for exchange sites. Dissolved NH3 constituted the majority of N adsorbed by the sample at high RH, which is typical of field conditions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of various clay minerals on polysaccharide sorption under different environmental conditions, including pH, ionic strength, and cation type. Xanthan, an anionic polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris, was used to represent soil microbial exopolysaccharides. Highly significant effects (P > F < 0.0001) were observed for type of day mineral, pH, xanthan concentration, and electrolyte concentration. Sorption decreased with increase in pH from 3 to 8, consistent with an increase in the negative charge of both the clay surface and xanthan molecules. The presence of 10 mmol L1- Ca(NO3)2 made sorption possible at pH values above the pKa of xanthan. Divalent cations (Sr2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) enhanced sorption to a greater degree than monovalent cations (K+, Na+, and Li+) at the same ionic strength, indicating that cations participated in the binding of xanthan to clay surfaces. Generally, sorption was smallest with kaolinite and greatest with a low-charge (0.62 e layer charge per unit cell) smectite where layer charge originated mostly in the tetrahedral positions. Average sorption was two limes greater for smectite than for kaolinite, indicating that clay mineral composition influenced polysaccharide sorption; however, contributions may not be significant on a field scale.

The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine published the prioritized list in November 2003. The work was performed as part of a multinational military effort supported by Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Previous chemical priority lists had been developed to support military as well as homeland defense research, development, and acquisition communities to determine enhanced detection and protection needs. However, there were questions as to the adequacy of the methodologies and focus of the previous efforts. This most recent effort is a more extensive evaluation of over 1700 industrial chemicals, with a modified methodology that includes not only the assessment of acute inhalation toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), but also chemicals/compounds that pose substantial physical risk (from fire/explosion) and those that may pose acute ingestion risks (such as in water supplies). The methodology was designed to rank such hazards from a strategic (global) military perspective, but it may be adapted to address more site/user specific needs. Users of this or any other chemical priority list are cautioned that the derivation of such lists is largely influenced by subjective decisions and significant variability in chemical-specific data availability and quality.

Riverine ecologists deplore the human alterations that have degraded and depleted water, contributed to disease and species loss, increased invasive species, and affected the natural movement of material between ecosystems. Through river restoration and the modification of human behavior, they hope to salvage the advantages of natural systems, such as clean water, species restoration, increased biodiversity, improved public health, and even the economic benefits resulting from a restored commercial fish and wildlife population.

But large-scale models of air–sea interaction, among other applications, cannot afford full microphysical modules for computing spray droplet evolution and, thus, how rapidly these droplets exchange heat and moisture with their environment. Fortunately, because the temperature and radius of saline droplets evolve almost exponentially when properly scaled, it is possible to approximate a droplet''s evolution with just four microphysical endpoints: its equilibrium temperature, T eq; the e-folding time to reach that temperature, τ T; its equilibrium radius, r eq; and the e-folding time to reach that radius, τ r. Starting with microphysical theory, this paper derives quick approximation formulas for these microphysical quantities. These approximations are capable of treating saline droplets with initial radii between 0.5 and 500 μm that evolve under the following ambient conditions: initial droplet temperatures and air temperatures between 0 and 40 °C, ambient relative humidities between 75% and 99.5%, and initial droplet salinities between 1 and 40 psu. Estimating T eq, τ T, and τ r requires only one-step calculations; finding r eq is done recursively using Newton''s method. The approximations for T eq and τ T are quite good when compared to similar quantities derived from a full microphysical model; T eq is accurate to within 0.02 °C, and τ T is typically accurate to within 5%. The estimate for equilibrium radius r eq is also usually within 5% of the radius simulated with the full microphysical model. Finally, the estimate of radius e-folding time τ r is accurate to within about 10% for typical oceanic conditions.

This research investigated an alternative strategy of using emulsions to stabilize radioactive particulate contamination. Emergency response personnel would coat surfaces with emulsions consisting of asphalt or tall oil pitch to prevent migration of contamination. The site can then be evaluated and cleaned up as needed. In order for this approach to be effective, the treatment must eliminate migration of the radioactive agents in the terror device. Water application is an environmental condition that could promote migration into the external environment This research investigated the potential for water, and correspondingly contaminant, migration through two emulsions consisting of Topein, a resinous byproduct during paper manufacture. Topein C is an asphaltic-based emulsion and Topein S is a tall oil pitch, nonionic emulsion. Experiments included water adsorption! mobilization studies, filtration tests, and image analysis of photomicrographs from an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and a stereomicroscope. Both emulsions were effective at reducing water migration. Conductivity estimates were on the order of 10-8 cm s-1 for Topein C and 10-7 cm s-1 for Topein S. Water mobility depended on emulsion flocculation and coalescence time. Photomicrographs indicate that Topein S consisted of greater and more interconnected porosity. Dilute foams of isolated spherical gas cells formed when emulsions were applied to basic surfaces. Gas cells rose to the surface and ruptured, leaving void spaces that penetrated throughout the emulsion. These experiments indicate that emulsions may be a viable means for containing RDD residuals; however, improvements are needed for optimal performance.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/05/15/ VL - 39 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3756 EP - 3761 SN - 0013936X AB - A miniaturized lead sensor has been developed by combining a lead-specific DNAzyme with a microfabricated device containing a network of microfluidic channels that are fluidically coupled via a nanocapillary array interconnect A DNAzyme construct selective for cleavage in the presence of Pb2+ and derivatized with fluorophore (quencher) at the 5' (3') end of the substrate and enzyme strands, respectively, forms a molecular beacon that is used as the recognition element. The nanocapillary array membrane interconnect is used to manipulate fluid flows and deliver the small-volume sample to the beacon in a spatially confined detection window where the DNAzyme is interrogated using laser-induced fluorescence detection. A transformed log plot of the fluorescent signal exhibits a linear response (r² = 0.982) over a Pb2+ concentration range of 0.1 -100 μM, and a detection limit of 11 nM. The sensor has been applied to the determination of Pb2+ in an electroplating sludge reference material, the result agreeing with the certified value within 4.9%. Quantitative measurement of Pb2+ in this complex sample demonstrates the selectivity of this sensor scheme and points favorably to the application of such technologies to analysis of environmental samples. The unique combination of a DNAzyme with a microfluidic-nanofluidic hybrid device makes it possible to change the DNAzyme to select for other compounds of interest and to incorporate multiple sensing systems within a single device for greater flexibility. This work represents the initial steps toward creation of a robust field sensor for lead in groundwater or drinking water.

These viruses were rescued from full-length cDNA clones of 68U201 (VEEV-IE variety) and Trinidad donkey (VEEV-IA/B variety), respectively, and both have a furin cleavage site deletion mutation and a second-site resuscitating mutation. Both vaccines elicited neutralizing antibodies to viruses of the homologous variety but not to viruses of the heterologous variety. Eight weeks after vaccination, the macaques were challenged by aerosol exposure to virulent 68U201. Macaques vaccinated with V3526 were protected as well as macaques inoculated with IE1009, the wild-type infectious clone of 68U201. However, IE1150K failed to significantly protect macaques relative to controls. V3526 has now been shown to protect macaques against both IA/B [Pratt WD, Davis NL, Johnston RE, Smith JF.

Transmission blocking vaccines are a potentially powerful component of a multi-faceted public health approach to controlling or eliminating malaria. We report the first phase 1 clinical trial of a P. vivax transmission blocking vaccine in humans. The Pvs25H vaccine is a recombinant protein derived from the Pvs25 surface antigen of P. vivax ookinetes. The protein was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, purified, and adsorbed onto Alhydrogel®. Ten volunteers in each of three dose groups (5, 20, or 80μg) were vaccinated by intramuscular injection in an open-label study at 0, 28 and 180 days. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were observed. The majority of adverse events causally related to vaccination were mild or moderate in severity. Injection site tenderness was the most commonly observed adverse event. Anti-Pvs25H antibody levels measured by ELISA peaked after the third vaccination. Vaccine-induced antibody is functionally active as evidenced by significant transmission blocking activity in the membrane feeding assay. Correlation between antibody concentration and degree of inhibition was observed. Pvs25H generates transmission blocking immunity in humans against P. vivax demonstrating the potential of this antigen as a component of a transmission blocking vaccine.

Chittenden Locks Project in Seattle, Washington. The anadromous salmonids of the Lake Washington system, Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho salmon O. kisutch, sockeye salmon O. nerka, and steelhead O. mykiss, must pass through these locks en route to the Pacific Ocean. Of the available downstream passage routes, use of the large lock-filling culverts is considered the most harmful to fish because of potential entrainment contact with the barnacle-lined culvert walls. We evaluated the effectiveness of strobe lights for displacing fish from in front of the culverts and for reducing entrainment during large lock fills. From 3 May to 14 June 2002, we used split-beam hydroacoustics to estimate the number of fish entrained during paired light-on-light-off treatments. Results indicated that strobe lights significantly reduced (75%) entrainment, an estimated 1,427 fish being entrained during lights-off treatments versus 350 during lights-on. Effectiveness was also supported by t-tests on individual range strata in front of the culvert entrances: 1-m strata from the floor to 4 m above the floor indicated significant reduction in number of entrained fish during the lights-on treatments. Using strobe lights for reducing culvert entrainment probably increases juvenile salmonid survival through the locks.

This study concentrates on investigating optimal solutions for sampling design, considering both plot and sample size in terms of cost and variance estimated for global estimation and local landscape mapping of overall vegetation cover used in the management of soil erosion. A geostatistical method was developed based on regionalized variable theory and compared to a classical random sampling method for a case study in which optimal sampling was designed for estimating and mapping vegetation cover. Cost is introduced into the sampling design in terms of measurement time. This method has made it possible to seek optimal solutions for determining plot and sample sizes given a desired precision and allowable survey cost budget for both local and global estimation. The results show that the geostatistical method is more cost-efficient than the classical designs because it accounts for spatial dependence of variables in the sampling design. Moreover, plot size affects kriging standard error of the local estimate more significantly than sample size, while sample size has more effect on precision of the global estimate than does plot size.

Laboratory experiments indicate that germination of Z. palustris is affected by temperature, dormancy, stratification and salinity. Five trials, conducted at 30-day intervals, on stored seeds were undertaken. The pattern of germination differed between fresh seed and seed-bank seeds. Higher germination occured at 20°C (18–67%) than 28°C (7–60%) and seeds within the seed-bank outperformed fresh seeds (49 versus 36%), in terms of total percentage and rate of germination. Germination was lower in freshly collected seeds and increased after harvest, peaking in 1- and 2-month old seeds, before tapering off (40, 54, 58, 35, 22%, respectively). Stratification enabled a higher and more regularly paced germination to occur. However, no significant difference was discerned between seeds stratified at 5°C for 30 days and non-stratified seeds. Although salinity did not appear to affect seed viability, concentrations of ≥6ppt NaCl prevented germination. These germination patterns suggest that cool water, cold stratification and low salinity are optimal germination conditions.

The best accuracy was achieved at the oxygen content ca. 9%, which was the maximal possible oxygen content in helium for this GC–atomic emission detection (helium flow rate was 25mlmin−1). Using the maximal oxygen flow in plasma the n C/n H ratio determination accuracy improvement was accompanied by 10-fold increase in detection limit.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/04/15/ VL - 39 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2880 EP - 2887 SN - 0013936X AB - This work examines the effects of adding coke or activated carbon on the bioavailability of polychiorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in contaminated sediment from South Basin at Hunters Point, San Francisco Bay. We show with 28-day sediment exposure tests that PCB bioaccumulation in a polychaete (Neanthes are naceodentata) is reduced by 82% following 1-month contact of sediment with activated carbon and by 87% following 6-months contact of sediment with activated carbon. PCB bioaccumulation in an amphipod (Leptocheirus plumulosus) is reduced by 70% following 1-month contact of sediment with activated carbon and by 75% after 6-months contact of sediment with activated carbon. Adding coke had a negligible effect on reducing PCB bioaccumulation, probably because of the low specific surface area and the slow kinetics of PCB diffusion into the solid coke particles. Reductions in congener bioaccumulation with activated carbon were inversely related to congener Kow, suggesting that the efficacy of activated carbon is controlled by the mass-transfer rate of PCBs from sediment and into activated carbon. We find that reductions in aqueous PCB concentrations in equilibrium with the sediment were similar to reductions in PCB bioaccumulation. While no lethality was observed following activated carbon addition, growth rates were reduced by activated carbon for the polychaete, but not for the amphipod, suggesting the need for further study of the potential impacts of activated carbon on exposed communities. The study suggests that treatment of the biologically active layer of contaminated sediments with activated carbon may be a promising in- situ technique for reducing the bioavailability of sediment- associated PCBs and other hydrophobic organic compounds.

Over the past century, however, there has been a high loss of coastal wetlands of about 4800km2. The main causes of this loss are the near complete isolation of the river from the delta, mostly due to the construction of flood control levees, and pervasive hydrological disruption of the deltaic plain. There is presently a large-scale State-Federal program to restore the delta that includes construction of water control structures in the flood control levees to divert river water into deteriorating wetlands and pumping of dredged sediment, often for long distances, for marsh creation. Global climate change and decreasing availability and increasing cost of energy are likely to have important implications for delta restoration. Coastal restoration efforts will have to be more intensive to offset the impacts of climate change including accelerated sea level rise and changes in precipitation patterns. Future coastal restoration efforts should also focus on less energy-intensive, ecologically engineered management techniques that use the energies of nature as much as possible. Diversions may be as important for controlling salinity as for providing sediments and nutrients for restoring coastal wetlands. Energy-intensive pumping-dredged sediments for coastal restoration will likely become much more expensive in the future.

The model was planted with Schoenoplectus californicus and designed to reduce copper, mercury, and metal-related toxicity in a wastestream. The sediments of the model were varied during construction to provide a control and two levels of sulfate treatment, thus allowing characterization of sulfate’s effect on mercury methylation and bioaccumulation in periphyton and two species of fish––eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) and lake chubsucker (Erimyzon sucetta). After one year in the experimental model, mean dry-weight normalized total mercury concentrations in mosquitofish from the non-sulfate treated controls (374±77ng/g) and the reference location (233±17ng/g) were significantly lower than those from the low and high sulfate treatments (520±73 and 613±80ng/g, respectively). For lake chubsucker, mean total mercury concentration in fish from the high sulfate treatment (276±63ng/g) was significantly elevated over that observed in the control (109±47ng/g), the low sulfate treatment (122±42ng/g), and the reference population (41±2ng/g). Mercury in periphyton was mostly inorganic as methylmercury ranged from 6.6ng/g (dry weight) in the control to 9.8ng/g in the high sulfate treatment, while total mercury concentrations ranged from 1147ng/g in the control to a high of 1297ng/g in the low sulfate treatment. Fish methylmercury bioaccumulation factors from sediment ranged from 52 to 390 and from 495 to 3059 for water. These results suggest that sulfate treatments add a factor of risk due to elevated production of methylmercury in sediment and porewater which biomagnified into small fish, and may potentially increase through the food web.

However, one species, the endangered fat pocketbook mussel, Potamilus capax Green 1832, is very common in deep deposits of fine-grained sediments in man-made ditches or in slow moving rivers, streams, sloughs, and bayous in the St. Francis Watershed in Arkansas. An early study reported the status of this species as `tenuous;' however, research conducted in the last 20 years indicate that in appropriate habitat P. capax usually exhibits good evidence of recent recruitment and can comprise more than 10% of the mussel assemblage. Hundreds or even thousands of individuals can occur in 1- to 5-km-long reaches of rivers or ditches. Endangered species management should take advantage of accurate information on distribution, abundance, and life history. Confusion and misinformation about this mussel must be overcome to improve management plans and decisions concerning this species. In this article we examine the status of P. capax based on a review of the literature and our recent surveys in the St. Francis Watershed.

Many environmental stimuli have been shown to affect the extracellular AI-2 levels, carbon sources being among the most important. In this report, we show that both AI-2 synthesis and uptake in Escherichia coil are subject to catabolite repression through the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-CRP complex, which directly stimulates transcription of the lsr (for ‘luxS regulated’) operon and indirectly represses luxS expression. Specifically, cAMP-CRP is shown to bind to a CRP binding site located in the upstream region of the lsr promoter and works with the LsrR repressor to regulate AI-2 uptake. The functions of the lsr operon and its regulators, LsrR and LsrK, previously reported in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, are confirmed here for E. coil. The elucidation of cAMP-CRP involvement in E. coil autoinduction impacts many areas, including the growth of E. coli in fermentation processes.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2005/03// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 162 EP - 175 SN - 02775212 AB - The practice of wetland mitigation has come into question during the past decade because the relative capacity of the mitigated wetlands to perform normal wetland functions is mostly unknown. In this study, we wanted to determine whether soil microbial communities were significantly different in early successional mitigated wetlands (<10 years) (ES) compared to late successional bottomland hardwood forest wetlands (LS) due to differences in soil properties, such as carbon quality and storage and water-holding capacity. Carbon storage in litter and soil was 1.5 times greater in LS wetlands than ES wetlands. Soil waterholding capacity was significantly greater in LS wetlands and was related to soil organic C content (r²=0.87, p-value=0.0007). Gravimetric water content was a moderately strong predictor of microbial respiration (r²=0.55-0.61, p-value=0.001-0.0004) and microbial biomass (r²=0.70, p-value=0.0019). Anaerobic microbial groups were enriched in soils from LS wetlands in both the dry and wet seasons, which suggested that LS soils were wetter for longer periods of the year than ES soils. The capacity of these wetlands to support anaerobic microbial processes depends on soil water retention characteristics, which were dictated by organic matter content. As an integrator of microbial growth conditions in soils, determination of microbial community composition by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis may be an important new tool for monitoring successional development of compensatory mitigation wetlands.

Nonlinearity in terms of the Freundlich exponent n was increased by ∼40% for the average and high pH soils and by ∼30% for the high Fe soil, showing greater sorption affinity of TNT for the oxidized soils at lower TNT concentrations and also implying greater TNT availability for transport at high concentrations. The increase in sorption extent for the H2O2-oxidized soils was presumably attributed to the oxygen-induced enhancement in the sorption capacity of the soils and the more dominant contribution of clay minerals to sorption. Therefore, enhanced sorption following H2O2 application may inhibit the subsequent formation of a TNT plume after either source zone remediation or plume remediation using H2O2 such as Fenton oxidation.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2005/03// VL - 88 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 214 EP - 222 SN - 00179078 AB - Many types of ophthalmic instruments produce a concentrated focal irradiance in the lens. Instruments that illuminate large areas of the retina-known as "Maxwellian- view," are but one example, and there are concerns about the potential hazards associated with this optical system. The transfer of the heat generated in the human eye in Maxwellian-view illumination or similar focal-beam situations was simulated using a mathematical model to determine the temperature elevations induced in the human eye. The maximum temperature rise in the lens region was examined to quantitatively assess the potential thermal hazard to the lens. It was shown that Maxwellian-view illumination or similar focal- beam situations can cause thermal injury to the lens under certain conditions, and that this hazard is greater for incident wavelengths of about 320-420 nm than for longer wavelengths. The risk of thermal injury increases as exposure duration increases, and the risk tends to increase as the beam waist diameter or Maxwellian-view angle decreases.

An extensive database exists for freshwater environments; however, explosives fate and transport parameters such as dissolution rates, transformation rates, and adsorption of explosives have not been evaluated under both freshwater and saline conditions to determine the applicability of the freshwater data to saline environments. The objective of this study was to determine if freshwater fate and transport processes were similar to those determined under saline water conditions. We evaluated TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution rates, transformation rates, and adsorption under freshwater and saline conditions in batch tests. Results showed a generally close agreement. Therefore, the existing freshwater database for explosives fate and transport process descriptors can be used in marine environments.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 138 EP - 151 SN - 02755947 AB - A surface flow bypass takes advantage of the natural surface orientation of most juvenile salmon Oncorhynchus spp. and steelhead O. mykiss by providing a route in the upper water column that downstream migrant fishes can use to pass a hydroelectric dam safely. A prototype structure, called the surface bypass and collector (SBC), was retrofitted on the powerhouse of Lower Granite Dam and was evaluated annually with biotelemetry and hydroacoustic techniques during the 5-year life span of the structure (1996-2000) to determine the entrance configuration that maximized passage efficiency and minimized forebay residence time. The best tested entrance configuration had maximum inflow (99 m³/s) concentrated in a single surface entrance (5 m wide, 8.5 m deep). We identified five important considerations for future surface flow bypass development in the lower Snake River and elsewhere: (1) an extensive flow net should be formed in the forebay by use of relatively high surface flow bypass discharge (>7% of total project discharge); (2) a gradual increase in water velocity with increasing proximity to the surface flow bypass (ideally, acceleration < 1 m/s per meter) should be created; (3) water velocities at an entrance should be high enough (>3 m/s) to entrain the subject juvenile fishes; (4) the shape and orientation of the surface entrance(s) should be adapted to fit site-specific features; and (5) construction of a forebay wall to increase fish availability to the surface flow bypass should be considered. The efficiency of the SBC was not high enough (maximum of 62% relative to passage at turbine units 4-5) for the SBC to operate as a stand-alone bypass. Anywhere that surface-oriented anadromous fish must negotiate hydroelectric dams, surface flow bypass systems can provide cost-effective use of typically limited water supplies to increase the nonturbine passage, and presumably survival, of downstream migrants.

JO - North American Journal of Fisheries Management JF - North American Journal of Fisheries Management Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 25 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 105 EP - 121 SN - 02755947 AB - We investigated whether sand seals form in the upper egg pocket of salmonid redds and improve egg survival in a sediment-impacted coastal stream in northern California. Sand seals can potentially reduce infiltration of detrimental finer sand and silt into the lower egg pocket. We predicted sand seals would form when the redds were exposed to streamflows high enough to entrain coarse sand and form seals. Using artificial redds of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch, we conducted sediment analyses of the upper and lower egg pockets and found that protective sand seals formed in redds when discharge was two or more times the flow that entrains the median particle size of the streambed. When the coarse sand in the upper egg pocket was incorporated into a two-stage model that predicted survival to hatching and emergence, it greatly improved predictions in years with higher flows in both natural and artificial redds. However, the sand seals provided little protection when suspended sediment flux was high from logging or road construction. We built the model used for these predictions with data from artificial redds and applied it to natural redds during 6 years of different flow regimes. Predictor variables included cumulative flow above the entrainment flow, peak discharge, coarse sand in the upper egg pocket, fine sediment in riffle gravel, coarse sand in the upper and entire egg pocket, suspended sediment flux, and presence of predaceous worms. The model explained 67% of the variance in egg survival to emergence in coho salmon natural redds. We suggest that managers consider the complex interactions of streamflow, sediment transport, formation of sand seals, and fine-sediment infiltration when estimating salmonid reproductive success in sediment-impacted streams.

The average per-day consumer surplus for anglers was $61-122, depending on the wage rate fraction assigned to the opportunity cost of time. Although this consumer surplus value is small, anglers on the numerous smaller public and private water bodies may, in aggregate, generate a majority of the economic value for freshwater angling. Further, the marginal value per dollar spent managing small water bodies is probably large. Arguably, greater attention should be directed toward managing our nation's numerous smaller water bodies.

A study was therefore undertaken in which 20 compensatory wetland mitigation projects in the San Francisco Bay Region were reviewed and assessed for both permit compliance and habitat function, and this was done using a rapid assessment method adapted for this purpose. Thus, in addition to determining compliance and function, a further goal of this study was to test the efficacy of the assessment method, which, if useful, could be applied not only to mitigation projects, but also to restoration projects and natural wetland systems. Survey results suggest that most projects permitted 5 or more years ago are in compliance with their permit conditions and are realizing their intended habitat functions. The larger restoration sites or those situated between existing wetland sites tend to be more successful and offer more benefits to wildlife than the smaller isolated ones. These results are consistent with regulatory experience suggesting that economies of scale could be realized both with (1) large scale regional wetland restoration sites, through which efforts are combined to control invasive species and share costs, and (2) coordinated efforts by regulatory agencies to track project information and to monitor the increasing number and size of mitigation and restoration sites. In regard to the assessment methods, we find that their value lies in providing a consistent protocol for evaluations, but that the ultimate assessment will rely heavily on professional judgment, regulatory experience, and the garnering of pre-assessment information.

A novel exopolysaccharide from a clinical isolate ofPrevotella nigrescens:purification, chemical characterization and possible role in modifying human leukocyte phagocytosis.Oral Microbiol Immunol 2005: 20: 1–9.© Blackwell Munksgaard, 2005.Prevotella nigrescens, a gram-negative black-pigmented anaerobic rod, has frequently been isolated from periodontitis and periapical periodontitis lesions. We have isolated an exopolysaccharide-producingP. nigrescens,strain 22, from a chronic periodontitis lesion. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition and function of the exopolysaccharide associated with this clinical isolate. The chemical composition and structure of the purified exopolysaccharide from strain 22 were determined by high performance liquid chromatography and methylation analysis. To define the biological function of this exopolysaccharide, a chemically induced exopolysaccharide nonproducing mutant, strain 328, which was derived from strain 22, was established. The biological effects of exopolysaccharide were determined by comparing the ability of strain 22, strain 328 or heat-killed strain 22 to form abscesses in mice and to interfere with the phagocytic activity of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Chemical analysis showed that isolated exopolysaccharide consisted of mannose (521.6μg/mg), glucose (25.6 μg/mg), fructose (65.8 μg/mg), galactose (12.5 μg/mg), arabinose (6.2 μg/mg), xylose (3.2 μg/mg), rhamnose (6.1 μg/mg), and ribose (0.6 μg/mg). Methylation analysis of exopolysaccharide indicated that the linkages of mannose were primarily (1→2, 1→6) (1→2) (1→6), and (1→3). Strain 22 and, to a lesser extent, its heat-killed counterpart induced greater abscess formation in mice than strain 328, even though the enzymatic profile of strain 22 was similar to that of strain 328. The ability of strain 328 to induce abscess formation was restored by adding the purified exopolysaccharide isolated from strain 22 to the cell suspension of strain 328. Exopolysaccharide alone failed to induce abscess formation in mice. Further, strain 328 but not the untreated or heat-killed strain 22, was phagocytosed by polymorphonuclear leukocytes both in the presence and in the absence of opsonic factors. The results suggest that these polysaccharides isolated from strain 22, which primarily consisted of mannose, may play a key role in the development of the chronic inflammatory lesion from which this strain was isolated.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Arthropod-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, scrub typhus, and leishmaniasis continue to pose a significant threat to U.S. military forces deployed in support of operational and humanitarian missions. These diseases are transmitted by a variety of arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, sand flies, and biting midges. In addition to disease threats, biting arthropods can cause dermatitis, allergic reactions, and sleep loss; therefore, monitoring of vector impact and integrated use of personal protective measures (PPM) and methods to reduce the vector populations are needed to protect service members. The U.S. military has played a vital role in vector identification tools and the development and testing of many of the most effective PPM and vector control products available today, including the topical repellent DEET and the repellent/insecticide permethrin, which is applied to clothing and bed nets. Efforts to develop superior products are ongoing. Although the U.S. military often needs vector control products with rather specific properties (e.g., undetectable, long-lasting in multiple climates) in order to protect its service members, many Department of Defense vector control products have had global impacts on endemic disease control.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 13 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Most of the members of the genus Bifidobacterium, including the related organism Alloscardovia omnicolens, are inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity of humans and animals and have been considered nonpathogenic for humans. However, the actual site of isolation and the clinical significance of A. omnicolens and of Bifidobacterium species are unclear. This may be due in part to the difficulties in distinguishing these organisms from other genera such as Actinomyces. To determine the potential disease-causing role of these organisms, we analyzed the clinical significance of 15 A. omnicolens and Bifidobacterium isolates identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing from a clinical laboratory. All of the organisms in this study were isolated from sterile sites or in significant numbers by standard clinical microbiological culture methods. Our 15 clinical strains fit into only four species: A. omnicolens (five isolates), Bifidobacterium scardovii (four isolates), B. longum (two isolates), and B. breve (four isolates). All five A. omnicolens isolates, one of the B. breve isolates, and three of the four B. scardovii isolates were cultured from urine at 105 CFU/ml. One B. scardovii isolate was from a patient with a genitourinary tract wound infection, two B. longum isolates were from abdominal wounds, and three B. breve isolates were from blood cultures. This study enlarges the spectrum of diseases and clinical sources associated with A. omnicolens and Bifidobacterium species and addresses identification problems.

Note: Special Issue: Vaccines for biodefense. Language: English. Number of References: 138 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Botulism is a severe neuroparalytic disease caused by toxins produced by several Clostridium species. Botulinum toxin has been of concern to the US military and its allies as a biowarfare weapon since World War II and, in more recent times, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a potential bioterrorist threat to the public. The most effective means of defending against the toxin is by inducing a protective immune response through vaccination. Vaccination with an appropriate antigen will produce neutralizing antibodies that will bind to and clear toxin from the circulation before it can enter nerve cells and block neurotransmission. Immunity from botulism, however, has the disadvantage of precluding an individual from realizing the potential benefits of therapeutic botulinum toxin, if such a need were to arise. Botulinum toxin has been used in the treatment of numerous neuromuscular, autonomic, and sensory disorders since it was first approved for the management of strabismus and blepharospasm by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989. Notwithstanding the value of the neurotoxin as a therapeutic drug, vaccines have been and will continue to be an important line of defense for those who work with the toxin (at-risk workers) and a select population of the military, law enforcement, and first responders. The first vaccine used to protect against botulinum neurotoxin was a chemically detoxified extract from Clostridium botulinum. A Pentavalent botulinum toxoid (PBT) vaccine in service today is administered under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application held by the CDC. Recombinant subunit vaccines are in development and a bivalent Hc vaccine (rBV A/B (Pichia pastoris)) is presently being evaluated in a phase II clinical trial. This review focuses on botulism and the development of vaccines for its prevention.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Chikungunya (CHIK) and O'nyong-nyong (ONN) are important emerging arthropod-borne diseases. Molecular diagnosis of these two viruses in mosquitoes has not been evaluated, and the effects of extraneous mosquito tissue on assay performance have not been tested. Additionally, no real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay exists for detecting ONN virus (ONNV) RNA. We describe the development of sensitive and specific real-time RT-PCR assays for detecting CHIK and ONN viral RNA in mosquitoes, which can be applied for field use. In addition, we compared three methods for primer/probe design for assay development by evaluating their sensitivity and specificity. This comparison resulted in development of virus-specific assays that could detect less than one plaque-forming unit equivalent of each of the viruses in mosquitoes. The use of these assays will aid in arthropod-borne disease surveillance and in the control of the associated diseases.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Background: Associations between obesity and poor iron status have been described in children and adults. Proposed mechanisms for this association implicate a physiologic etiology, suggesting body fat accretion may progressively degrade iron status. However, the relationship between iron status and body composition in non-obese adults remains unclear. Objective: In this study we examined the relationship between body composition, inflammation, and iron status in healthy, non-obese, pre-menopausal females. Methods: Iron status was assessed using red cell distribution width, transferrin saturation, serum ferritin, and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR). Tumor-necrosis factor- provided a marker of inflammation, and body fat percentage (BF) was calculated from mean skinfold thickness measurements at 3 sites. Results: In this cohort (n=207), the prevalence of iron deficiency was similar (p>0.05) between normal and overweight (BMI 25.0-30.0 kg/m2), and normal and overfat (BF ≥30.0%) volunteers. There were no differences in individual iron status indicators, including sTfR, between overweight or overfat volunteers as compared to normal weight and normal fat peers. Logistic regression analyses indicated that overfat volunteers had a lower (p<0.05) risk of iron deficiency, whereas overweight individuals demonstrated no change in relative risk as compared to peers. Conclusion: These findings suggest that, in non-obese adults, decrements in iron status are not associated with increasing adiposity.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - An integrated strategy that combined in silico screening and tiered biochemical assays (enzymatic, in vitro, and ex vivo) was used to identify and characterize effective small-molecule inhibitors of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A). Virtual screening was initially performed by computationally docking compounds of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) database into the active site of BoNT/A light chain (LC). A total of 100 high-scoring compounds were evaluated in a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based protease assay using recombinant full-length BoNT/A LC. Seven compounds that significantly inhibited the BoNT/A protease activity were selected. Database search queries of the best candidate hit [7-((4-nitro-anilino)(phenyl)methyl)-8-quinolinol (NSC 1010)] were performed to mine its nontoxic analogs. Fifty-five analogs of NSC 1010 were synthesized and examined by the HPLC-based assay. Of these, five quinolinol derivatives that potently inhibited both full-length BoNT/A LC and truncated BoNT/A LC (residues 1 to 425) were selected for further inhibition studies in neuroblastoma (N2a) cell-based and tissue-based mouse phrenic nerve hemidiaphragm assays. Consistent with enzymatic assays, in vitro and ex vivo studies revealed that these five quinolinol-based analogs effectively neutralized BoNT/A toxicity, with CB 7969312 exhibiting ex vivo protection at 0.5 µM. To date, this is the most potent BoNT/A small-molecule inhibitor that showed activity in an ex vivo assay. The reduced toxicity and high potency demonstrated by these five compounds at the biochemical, cellular, and tissue levels are distinctive among the BoNT/A small-molecule inhibitors reported thus far. This study demonstrates the utility of a multidisciplinary approach (in silico screening coupled with biochemical testing) for identifying promising small-molecule BoNT/A inhibitors.

Number of References: 31 ref. Registry Number: 63-91-2, 60-18-4. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Background: A sudden increase in exercise and energy expenditure is associated with an increase in protein turnover and nitrogen excretion. This study examined how a sudden increase in exercise-induced energy expenditure affected whole body protein metabolism and nitrogen balance in people of differing levels of aerobic fitness. We hypothesized that alterations in whole-body protein turnover would be attenuated, and nitrogen balance would be preserved, in individual with higher levels of aerobic fitness. Methods: Eleven men, categorized as either having a lower (LOW-FIT; n=5) or higher (FIT; n=6) aerobic fitness level, completed a 4-d baseline period (BL) of an energy balance diet while maintaining usual physical activity level, followed by a 7-d intervention consisting of 1,000 kcal.d-1 increased energy expenditure via exercise (50-65% VO2peak). All volunteers consumed 0.9 g protein.kg-1.d-1 and total energy intake was adjusted to maintain energy balance throughout the 11-d study. Mean nitrogen balance (NBAL) was determined for BL, days 5-8 (EX1), and days 9-11 (EX2). Whole-body protein turnover was derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine kinetics assessed while fasting at rest on days 4, 7, and 12 using a priming dose of L-[ring-15N]tyrosine and a 4-h primed, continuous infusion of L-[15N]phenylalanine and L-[ring-2H4]tyrosine. Results: A significant main effect of time indicated that NBAL increased over the course of the intervention; however, a group-by-time interaction was not observed. Although FIT demonstrated a lower net protein oxidation and higher net protein balance compared to LOW-FIT, neither the effect of time nor a group-by-time interaction was significant for Phe flux, net protein oxidation, or derived whole-body protein synthesis and net protein balance. Conclusion: The absence of significant group-by-time interactions in protein metabolism (i.e., NBAL and whole-body protein turnover) between LOW-FIT and FIT males suggest that aerobic fitness level does not modulate protein "sparing" in response to an unaccustomed increase in energy expenditure.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Human Nutrition N2 - Coordinated small-molecule drug discovery research efforts for the treatment of botulism by the public sector, especially the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), began in the 1990s and represent a significant resource investment. Organization of an effective botulism therapeutic drug program, however, presents formidable technical and logistical challenges. Seven distinct BoNT serotypes are known, each representing a different target. Moreover, BoNT exerts its action inside peripheral cholinergic neurons, and some serotypes may persist functionally within nerve cells for weeks or months. Clinical botulism occurs infrequently, and the effectiveness of prolonged mechanical ventilation to treat poisoning further limits experimental drug testing. The efficacy of experimental compounds must be extrapolated from disparate cell- or tissue-based or rodent models. Numerous compounds with moderate efficacy in experimental laboratory assays have been reported, but may not possess the necessary safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profile to support therapeutic development. To mitigate these challenges, we propose product development tools to assist in management of the BoNT portfolio and to clearly define the desired therapeutic product. Establishing a target product profile (TPP) is proposed to guide public sector managers toward critical aspects of the desired therapeutic product. Additional product development tools to assist in shaping research portfolios and to inform decisions regarding lead candidates to pursue are also discussed. Product development tools that facilitate the characterization of the ideal therapeutic product, and assist in the maintenance of a robust portfolio, will ameliorate the inherent financial risk in drug development for treating BoNT intoxication.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are uncharged nucleic acid-like molecules designed to inactivate the expression of specific genes via the antisense-based steric hindrance of mRNA translation. PMOs have been successful at knocking out viral gene expression and replication in the case of acute viral infections in animal models and have been well tolerated in human clinical trials. We propose that antisense PMOs represent a promising class of therapeutic agents that may be useful for combating filoviral infections. We have previously shown that mice treated with a PMO whose sequence is complementary to a region spanning the start codon of VP24 mRNA were protected against lethal Ebola virus challenge. In the present study, we report on the abilities of two additional VP24-specific PMOs to reduce the cell-free translation of a VP24 reporter, to inhibit the in vitro replication of Ebola virus, and to protect mice against lethal challenge when the PMOs are delivered prior to infection. Additionally, structure-activity relationship evaluations were conducted to assess the enhancement of antiviral efficacy associated with PMO chemical modifications that included conjugation with peptides of various lengths and compositions, positioning of conjugated peptides to either the 5′ or the 3′ terminus, and the conferring of charge modifications by the addition of piperazine moieties. Conjugation with arginine-rich peptides greatly enhanced the antiviral efficacy of VP24-specific PMOs in infected cells and mice during lethal Ebola virus challenge.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 36 ref. N2 - Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LT) was characterized in plasma from infected African Green monkeys, rabbits, and guinea pigs. In all cases, during the terminal phase of infection only the protease-activated 63-kDa form of protective antigen (PA63) and the residual 20-kDa fragment (PA20) were detected in the plasma. No uncut PA with a molecular mass of 83 kDa was detected in plasma from toxemic animals during the terminal stage of infection. PA63 was largely associated with lethal factor (LF), forming LT. Characterization of LT by Western blotting, capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and size exclusion chromatography revealed that the antiphagocytic poly-γ-D-glutamic acid (γ-DPGA) capsule released from B. anthracis bacilli was associated with LT in animal blood in variable amounts. While the nature of this in vivo association is not understood, we were able to determine that a portion of these LT/γ-DPGA complexes retained LF protease activity. Our findings suggest that the in vivo LT complexes differ from in vitro-produced LT and that including γ-DPGA when examining the effects of LT on specific immune cells in vitro may reveal novel and important roles for γ-DPGA in anthrax pathogenesis.

With the abolition of the Secretariat in 1380, there was no longer a centralized office to handle administrative functions. Requests for revenue were not handled systematically, and collection of local taxes, the responsibility of local revenue collectors, became erratic and unreliable. In the Hongxi (1424-25) and Xuande (1425-35) reigns a policy of fiscal retrenchment was adopted, and, as part of a program to get men into office to support the reform ideas of central officials, the change to a system of recommendation was announced by edict on 1 April 1432. For the rest of the century, recommendation was the main means of filling a variety of official posts at all levels. However, abuse and corruption gave recommendation a bad name by the end of the century, and most candidates for office came to prefer to seek appointment through the regular bureaucratic system. By the early 16th century the practice had fallen into disuse and was no longer used after the 1520's.

This powerful, but seldom used, nonparametic method is described and specific examples are used to illustrate its simplicity and elegance. An abbreviated table of probabilities is included.
Evaluation and accountability are frequently viewed as dark could looming over program development and individual staff appraisals. Every service provider faces challenges to prove that her of she has been effective in his or her job. But designing, conducting, and analyzing studies to evaluate services can be time consuming and complex, typically requiring changes in routines, identification and use of sophisticated measurement devices, and esoteric statistics long since forgotten, repressed, or joyously discarded. This is an unnecessary state of affairs because there are a number of simple procedures available. Perhaps because of their simplicity, these procedures have not received the attention they deserve. The subject of this article, the binomial expansion (BE), is one of these simple techniques. It requires only the identification of two numbers and a table of probabilities (see Table 1).

JO - Combustion Science & Technology JF - Combustion Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 177 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 347 EP - 381 SN - 00102202 AB - Staged pyrolysis and combustion of waste tire chips was investigated as a technique to minimize emissions of pollutants. Fixed quantities of chips were introduced to a furnace under pyrolytic conditions (in nitrogen) and devolatilized at furnace temperatures in the range 500-1000°C. The pyrolyzate gases were then mixed with additional streams of either nitrogen or oxygen in a venturi mixer, placed in-side the furnace. In the oxygen case, a nominally premixed flame occurred at the exit of the venturi, still inside the furnace. The effluent of either case was channeled to a secondary furnace for further treatment at 1000°C for a duration of 0.6 s. Sampling for combustion emissions, including products of incomplete combustion (PIC), took place at the exits of both furnaces. Sampled species included CO2, CO, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particulates, as well as nitrogen and sulfur oxides. Results showed that under inert conditions in both furnaces (pyrolysis-pyrolysis case) the emissions of PAHs and particulates from the primary furnace were high and drastically increased by the secondary furnace treatment. To the contrary, in the pyrolysis-oxidation case, when the pyrolyzates ignited and formed a flame at the exit of the venturi, the particulate and PAH emissions were low at the exit of the primary furnace. PIC were further reduced in the secondary furnace as oxidative conditions prevailed therein. As these experiments measured the PAH and soot amounts in the tire pyrolyzates before and after the flame, they illustrated the effectiveness of a nominally premixed flame for oxidizing such species. They also illustrated that a sequential pyrolysis-oxidation approach has the potential for low emissions in waste tire-to-energy plants.

Our objective was to examine the effects of three landscape positions (summit, backslope, and toeslope) and three stocking systems (continuous, rotational, and non-grazed) on species diversity and percentage of cover of grass, legume, and weed species functional types in southeastern Iowa pastures. Data were collected in 0.2-m² plots randomly distributed throughout each of four replicate pastures in spring and summer 2000 and 2001. Backslope landscape positions within pastures managed with either continuous or rotational stocking contained the greatest overall diversity of species. Across years, overall species richness under grazing averaged 4.8 on backslopes, 3.5 on summits, and 2.9 on toeslopes. Legume cover was greatest within the rotational stocking system, averaging 21% on back- slopes, 10% on summits, and 3% on toeslopes across years. Cool-season grasses dominated summits and toeslopes, consisting of 88 to 94% of the cover. Weed species diversity and cover were greatest on backslopes within the continuous stocking system. Our results showed that rotational stocking had more desirable effects through greater legume cover and less weed cover on backslopes than continuous stocking. This research suggested that spatial components of pastures should be considered to optimize the production and quality of forage for grazing livestock.

Toxicokinetics and body residues were determined from water-only exposures that varied from 4 to 28 d, and DDE concentrations ranging from 0.0013 to 0.045 µmol L-1. Uptake and elimination parameters were not affected significantly by the various temporal and concentration treatments. Uptake rate coefficients ranged from 134.3 to 586.7 ml g-1 h-1, and elimination rate coefficients ranged from 0.0011 to 0.0249 h-1. Toxicity metric values included body residue for 50% mortality at a fixed sample time (LR50) and mean lethal residue to produce 50% mortality from individual exposure concentrations (MLR50) for live organisms and dead organisms. A twofold increase occurred in the MLR50 values calculated using live organisms compared to MLR50 values using dead organisms. Toxicity and kinetic data were fit to a damage assessment model that allows for the time course for toxicokinetics and damage repair, demonstrating the time-dependence of body residues to toxicity. The DDE appeared to act through a nonpolar narcosis mode of action for both acute and chronic mortality in H. azteca. Furthermore, the temporal trend in the toxic response using body residue as the dose metric is steep and found to be similar to another chlorinated hydrocarbon, pentachlorobenzene, but was more potent than that found for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

The characterization was designed to determine if surface soils contain significant concentrations of metals, with the focus on collecting sufficient data for determining appropriate future actions (i.e., risk analysis or soil remediation). A dynamic sampling and analytical strategy based on rapid field-based analytical methods was created in order to streamline site activities and save resources while increasing confidence in remediation decisions. Concurrent analysis of soil samples during the demonstration of method applicability (DMA) used both field portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) and laboratory methodologies to establish a correlation between FPXRF and laboratory data. Immediately following the DMA, contaminated soil from the impact berm was delineated by collecting both FPXRF data and fixed laboratory confirmation samples. The combined data set provided analytical results that allowed for revisions to the conceptual site model for the range and directed additional sample collection activities to more clearly determine the extent and distribution of soil contamination. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

One property is the Rattlesnake Creek (RSC) portion of the Ashland sites. The RSC stream sediments are contaminated with thorium-230, radium-226, and uranium. The US ACE is closing RSC using protocols contained within the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM). At RSC, the US ACE developed site-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCGL) cleanup requirements consistent with the MARSSIM guidance. Because of uncertainty about the distribution of contamination within the creek, the US ACE used the Triad approach to collect data and design remedial actions. Systematic planning helped target the areas of concern, develop a conceptual site model, and identify data gaps to be addressed before remediation plans were finalized. Preremediation sampling and analysis plans were designed to be explicitly consistent with final status survey requirements, allowing data sets to support both excavation planning needs and closure requirements in areas where contamination was not encountered above DCGL standards. Judicious use of real- time technologies such as X-ray fluorescence and gamma walkover surveys minimized expensive off- site alpha spectrometry analyses, and at the same time provided the ability to respond to unexpected field conditions. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silt fences were used to trap sediment transport from zero-order ephemeral swales at the edge of and within SMZs. Four control swales and nine treatment swales were studied. A double mass curve approach was used to graphically compare sediment accumulation rates at the edge of SMZs to accumulation rates within the SMZs at a distance consistent with current recommendations for SMZ width in Georgia. SMZ efficiencies for trapping sediment transported by concentrated flow ranged from 71 to 99 percent. No statistical model was found to explain how SMZ efficiencies varied with SMZ and contributing area characteristics. Measured sediment accumulations at the SMZ boundary were compared to Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) predictions of upslope erosion, and a delivery ratio of 0.25 was calculated. SMZs had a quantifiable and substantial ameliorating effect on sediment transport from concentrated overland flow on the clearcut study sites.

Biotic and abiotic controls of the compositions and activities of burrow and tube microbial communities are poorly understood. The microbial communities in tubes of the marine infaunal polychaete Diopatria cuprea collected from two different sediment habitats were examined. The bacterial communities in the tubes from a sandy sediment differed from those in the tubes from a muddy sediment. The difference in community structure also extended to the sulfate-reducing bacterial (SRB) assemblage, although it was not as pronounced for this functional group of species. PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered from Diopatra tube SRB by clonal library construction and screening were all related to the family Desulfobacteriaceae. This finding was supported by phospholipid fatty acid analysis and by hybridization of 16S rRNA probes specific for members of the genera Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacter, Desulfobacterium, Desulfobotulus, Desulfococcus, and Desulfovibrio and some members of the genera Desulfomonas, Desulfuromonas, and Desulfomicrobium with 16S rRNA gene sequences resolved by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Two of six SRB clones from the clone library were not detected in tubes from the sandy sediment. The habitat in which the D. cuprea tubes were constructed had a strong influence on the tube bacterial community as a whole, as well as on the SRB assemblage.

The existing methods used in commercial GIS and image analysis packages such as Window Averaging (WA) often do not work well because of different limitations. In this study we developed and compared five widely used WA methods including three spatial variability-weighted methods and two simulation methods. These methods were assessed in a case study for aggregating and using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images for mapping vegetation covers and for inferring a topographical factor related to soil erosion from finer to coarser resolutions. The results showed that the Beta Distribution Simulation (BDS) method was better than WA regardless of the distributions of the spatial data, while the Arithmetic Average Variability-Weighted method (AAVW) performed better than WA for normal distributions. BDS is flexible for variable distributions and AAVW is only suitable for normal distributions. Because of their simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility, it is expected that these two methods can be programmed into commercial GIS and image analysis packages.

T1 - Localization of substance P gene expression for evaluating protective countermeasures against sulfur mustard JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 204 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 229 EP - 239 SN - 0300483X AB - Sulfur mustard [bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide; SM] is a chemical warfare agent that produces edema and blister formation with a severe inflammatory reaction. The mouse ear vesicant model for SM injury has been used to evaluate pharmacological agents for countering SM dermal injury. The vanilloid olvanil reduces SM-induced edema and mRNA expression of cytokines and chemokines, suggesting that blocking the inflammatory effects of neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP), may provide protection against SM-induced dermal injury. This study examined SP expression in mice exposed to SM (0.16mg) on the inner surface of the right ear, with or without olvanil pretreatment at 1, 10, 30, 60, and 360min following exposure. In naïve skin, SP mRNA localization was associated with blood vessels and sebaceous glands. In SM-exposed skin, SP mRNA was also detected in perivascular dermal cells. Immunohistochemical localization of SP protein was observed in the ear skin of naïve, SM-, olvanil/SM-, and vehicle-treated mice. Quantification of SP+ perivascular dermal cells revealed that SM exposure led to a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in SP+ cells over the observed time period. Olvanil pretreatment significantly reduced (P ≤ 0.05) the mean number of SP+ cells at 60 and 360min. This study demonstrates that SP expression could provide an additional endpoint for evaluating the effectiveness of vanilloid drugs on SM-induced skin inflammation.

The methodology and formulation presented in this paper are aimed at placing the human with respect to specified targets, whereby optimizing a given human performance measure. These measures are developed as mathematical cost functions that can be maximized or minimized. For example, as a result of this analysis, a method for placing the human operator relative to the controls in an assembly line while minimizing the person''s stress at each joint can be achieved. Other cost functions such as maximizing reachability or maximizing dexterity are considered. The method is characterized by two steps: (1) determine the boundary envelope (also called reach envelope) of a human limb in closed form as, and, (2) move the workspace envelope towards optimizing the cost function while satisfying all constraints. By defining a new position and orientation of the limb''s workspace with respect to the target points, it is possible to establish an ergonomic design that satisfies the given constraints. The strengths of this method are in its ability to visualize the placement-reach design problem and in its broadly applicable mathematical formulation well suited for computer implementation. Furthermore, because the ergonomic design problem is indeed an optimization process, the use of optimization techniques in this work lends itself to addressing other standing problems. The formulation and code are demonstrated using a number of examples.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/10/15/ VL - 38 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 5458 EP - 5464 SN - 0013936X AB - The addition of activated carbon as particulate sorbent to the biologically active layer of contaminated sediment is proposed as an in-situ treatment method to reduce the chemical and biological availability of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) such as polychiorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We report results from physicochemical experiments that assess this concept PCB- and PAH-contaminated sediment from Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco Bay, CA, was contacted with coke and activated carbon for periods of 1 and 6 months. Sediment treated with 3.4 wt% activated carbon showed 92% and 84% reductions in aqueous equilibrium PCB and PAH concentrations, 77% and 83% reductions in PCB and PAH uptake by semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD), respectively, and reductions in PCB flux to overlying water in quiescent systems up to 89%. Adding coke to contaminated sediment did not significantly decrease aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations nor PCB or PAH availability in SPMO measurements. Coke decreased PAH aqueous equilibrium concentrations by 38-64% depending on coke dose and particle size. The greater effectiveness of activated carbon as compared to coke is attributed to its much greater specific surface area and a pore structure favorable for binding contaminants. The results from the physicochemical tests suggest that adding activated carbon to contaminated field sediment reduces HOC availability to the aqueous phase. The benefit is manifested relatively quickly under optimum contact conditions and improves in effectiveness with contact time from 1 to 6 months. Activated carbon application is a potentially attractive method for in-situ, non rem oval treatment of marine sediment contaminated with HOCs.

The primary objective of the DMMP is to identify cost-effective and environmentally acceptable alternatives for the placement of dredged material derived from ongoing and proposed navigation improvements within the PANY/NJ. A significant portion of this dredged material is classified as unsuitable for open-ocean disposal. One suite of alternatives presented within the DMMP is the beneficial use of dredged material for habitat creation, enhancement, and restoration within the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary. Proposed beneficial use/habitat development projects include the use of dredged material for construction of artificial reefs, oyster reef restoration, intertidal wetland and mudflat creation, bathymetric recontouring, filling dead-end canals/basins, creation of bird/wildlife islands, and landfill/brownfields reclamation. Preliminary screening of the proposed beneficial use alternatives identified advantages, disadvantages, potential volumes, and estimated costs associated with each project type. Continued study of the proposed beneficial use alternatives has identified areas of environmental research or technology development where further investigation is warranted.

This system is regenerated electrothermally, by passing an electric current directly through the ACFC. The adsorbate desorbs from the ACFC, rapidly condenses on the inside walls of the adsorber, and then drains from the adsorber as a pure liquid. Rapid electrothermal desorption exhibits such unique characteristics as extremely low purge gas flow rate, rapid rate of ACFC heating, rapid mass transfer kinetics inherent to ACFC, and in-vessel condensation. An existing system was scaled up 500%, and the new system was modeled using material and energy balances. Adsorption isotherms using methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and ACFC were obtained while electricity passed through the ACFC and at temperatures above MEK's boiling point These isotherms agreed within 7% to Dubinin-Radushkevich modeled isotherms that were extrapolated from independently determined gravimetric measurements obtained at lower temperatures. Energy and material balances for the electrothermal desorption of organic vapors and ACFC agree to within 7% of experimentally measured values. These results allow the modeling of electrothermal desorption of organic vapors from gas streams with in-vessel condensation to optimize operating conditions of the system during regeneration of the adsorbent.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 134 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2401 EP - 2406 SN - 00223166 AB - We developed a method for measurement of skin DNA synthesis, reflecting cell division, in conscious rabbits by infusing D-[U-13C6]glucose and L-[15N]glycine. Cutaneous protein synthesis was simultaneously measured by infusion of L-[ring-²H5]phenylalanine. Rabbits were fitted with jugular venous and carotid arterial catheters, and were studied during the infusion of an amino acid solution (10% Travasol). The fractional synthetic rate (FSR) of DNA from the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway, a reflection of total cell division, was 3.26 ± 0.59%/d in whole skin and 3.08 ± 1.86%/d in dermis (P = 0.38). The de novo base synthesis pathway accounted for 76 and 60% of the total DNA FSR in whole skin and dermis, respectively; the contribution from the base salvage pathway was 24% in whole skin and 40% in dermis. The FSR of protein in whole skin was 5.35 ± 4.42%/d, which was greater (P < 0.05) than that in dermis (2.91 ± 2.52%/d). The FSRs of DNA and protein were not correlated (P = 0.33), indicating that cell division and protein synthesis are likely regulated by different mechanisms. This new approach enables investigations of metabolic disorders of skin diseases and regulation of skin wound healing by distinguishing the 2 principal components of skin metabolism, which are cell division and protein synthesis.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 81 EP - 96 SN - 10515658 AB - Misunderstandings and misconceptions have arisen as the Triad approach has gained wider application. The Triad initiative's ability to catalyze second-generation cleanup practices will be hampered if inaccurate or incomplete assumptions create persistent confusion about what Triad is or how it works. This article has been prepared by the multi-agency workgroup responsible for articulating the Triad approach and coordinating national Triad efforts. It serves to address some misunderstandings about key Triad concepts. As an aid to those wishing to learn more, a new Web site (the Triad Resource Center, http://www.triadcentral.org) and a new Triad reference document from the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) are introduced as sources of explanatory information supporting the Triad approach. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

JO - Remediation Journal JF - Remediation Journal Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 37 SN - 10515658 AB - The distribution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in fractured shale overlain by thin (< 10 feet) overburden at the Watervliet Arsenal near Albany, New York, was initially determined by sampling water from the fracture network using packer systems in boreholes and also using conventional monitoring wells. Furthermore, short-term pumping and injection tests were conducted and the boreholes were logged using a variety of geophysical and hydrophysical tools. Tetrachloroethene is the dominant VOC in the groundwater, with lesser concentrations of trichloroethene and degradation products (cis-1,2-dichloroethene, trans-1,2-dichloroethene, and vinyl chloride). The vertical VOC distributions in the rock matrix were obtained from continuous-cored holes from which small rock samples, collected at many depths between 18 and 150 feet below ground surface, were analyzed. The rock core VOC concentrations were determined by methanol extraction of crushed rock followed by direct methanol injection onto a gas chromatograph and subsequent estimation of rock porewater VOC concentrations. The rock core data support the concept that diffusion-driven mass transfer has caused nearly all the VOC mass initially present in the fractures to now reside in the rock matrix, which has a porosity three or four orders of magnitude larger than the bulk fracture porosity. The results of the site characterization indicate that an effective site investigation strategy in fractured shale must include characterization of both the fracture and matrix contaminant distribution. These results also indicate that the most favorable remediation technologies for this fractured shale are those that will destroy VOCs in the rock matrix, particularly contaminants in the sorbed phase, and also destroy the VOC mass in the fractures including both dissolved and immiscible phases. The site characterization resulted in the selection of potassium permanganate for an in situ chemical oxidation pilot study. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The real-time network infrastructure is a key technology enabler for these systems. This effort presents an adaptive real-time network protocol (ARTNP) that provides multidimensional quality-of-service support for time-sensitive data under nominal conditions and during transient surges. Transient surges (e.g., the retransmission of corrupt or lost data and the unspecified arrival of sporadic messages) are problematic in that they can temporarily overload the network, causing message transmissions to be late. ARTNP is a fully distributed protocol that specifically addresses the issue of transient surges in network loading. Under nominal conditions, ARTNP can guarantee the time constraints of any messages at optimally high levels of network utilization. During a transient surge, ARTNP will detect the surge and alter the ordering of message transmissions to sustain the timely transmission of critical messages. The CAN protocol is selected as the underlying network, because of its wide spread use in vehicular systems. Simulations compare the performance of ARTNP against an optimal nonadaptive approach.

T1 - PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND FLUCTUATING ASYMMETRY AS INDICATORS OF PLANT RESPONSE TO SOIL DISTURBANCE IN THE FALL-LINE SANDHILLS OF GEORGIA: A CASE STUDY USING RHUS COPALLINUM AND IPOMOEA PANDURATA. JO - International Journal of Plant Sciences JF - International Journal of Plant Sciences Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 165 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 805 EP - 816 SN - 10585893 AB - We examined net photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, and leaf fluctuating asymmetry on two species (Rhus copallinum and Ipomoea pandurata) as indicators of stress at nine sites across a gradient of soil disturbance at Fort Benning, Georgia. There were three sites for each of three disturbance levels. Physical habitat disturbance was caused by activities associated with infantry training, including mechanized elements (tanks and personnel carriers) and foot soldiers. In addition, we examined the influence of prescribed burns and microhabitat effects (within meter-square quadrats centered about the plant) on these measures of plant stress. Net photosynthesis declined with increasing disturbance in the absence of burning for both species. However, when sites were burned the previous year, net photosynthesis increased with increasing disturbance. Developmental instability in Rhus, as measured by fluctuating asymmetry, also declined with increasing disturbance in the absence of burning but increased with disturbance if sites were burned the previous year. Developmental instability was much less sensitive to burning in Ipomoea and in general was lowest at intermediate disturbance sites. Microenvironmental and microhabitat effects were weakly correlated with measures of plant stress when all sites were combined. However, higher correlations were obtained within site categories, especially when the recent history of prescribed burning was used as a category. Finally, using all of the combined data in a discriminant function analysis allowed us to correctly predict the disturbance level of more than 80% of the plants. Plant stress is responsive to both large-scale perturbations, such as burning, and microhabitat parameters. Because of this, it is important to include macro- and microhabitat parameters when assessing stress. Similarly, we found a combination of developmental and physiological indicators of stress was superior to using them separately.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 66 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 49 EP - 66 SN - 01650009 AB - The Mapungubwe agro-pastoral society in the Limpopo valley, South Africa, persisted for 300 yrs before disappearing in about 1290 as a result of a decrease in mean annual rainfall (MAR) from about 500 mm to the current 340 mm. The influence of rainfall changes and competition from wildlife on cattle and small stock populations was investigated (agriculture was not) using the SAVANNA model. Six scenarios were compared for a 350 km2 area (Venetia–Limpopo Nature Reserve) for a 280 yrs simulation period: livestock only, wildlife only, and wildlife plus livestock, for a climate of ‘low’ (MAR 340 mm) versus ‘high’ (MAR 480 mm) rainfall. High inter-annual variability in rainfall resulted in highly variable grass production, but production of woody plants was more stable. Extreme drought events of one or more years duration resulted in marked population declines of the grazers, cattle and zebra. Populations of mixed feeders or browsers, including kudu, small stock and impala, were comparatively stable, the latter two mentioned were in part stabilised by offtake. Cattle populations persisted under a high rainfall climate irrespective of wildlife, but became extinct within 120 yrs under a low rainfall climate when competing with wildlife, in particular zebra. The size of the persisting populations of cattle or small stock under low rainfall was about half that for the corresponding high rainfall scenario. Pastoralism based on cattle was apparently unviable once climate started changing, and small stock were probably insufficient for meeting societal needs. Although crop failure is a sufficient explanation for the disappearance of the Mapungubwe settlement, destabilization of pastoralism would have compounded food security. The recorded rapid onset of a dry climate is of portent for current-day pastoral societies in marginal environments.

Method: We analyzed data from the 1995 National Health Interview Survey Disability (NHIS-D) Supplement to estimate the prevalence of crash-related disability among noninstitutionalized U.S. adults aged 18 years and older. Results: More than 1.2 million adults were living in their homes with the disabling effects of motor-vehicle crash-related injuries in 1995. The prevalence of crash-related disability was highest for persons in their mid-life years, ages 35–64. Half of the respondents had sustained the injuries more than 5 years before the interview. Forty-one percent of working-aged individuals reported being unable to work because of their disability. Conclusions: Because crash-related disability is most prevalent during the mid-life years, quality of life and productivity may be affected for decades. These findings highlight the personal and societal burden associated with motor-vehicle crash-related disability in the United States.

For vertical wells, there are well-established methods for estimating these parameters, typically based on either the recovery from induced head changes in a well or from the head response in observation wells to pumping in a test well. Comparable aquifer parameter estimation methods for horizontal wells have not been presented in the ground water literature. Formation parameter estimation methods based on measurements of pressure in horizontal wells have been presented in the petroleum industry literature, but these methods have limited applicability for ground water evaluation and are based on pressure measurements in only the horizontal well borehole, rather than in observation wells. This paper presents a simple and versatile method by which pumping test procedures developed for vertical wells can be applied to horizontal well pumping tests. The method presented here uses the principle of superposition to represent the horizontal well as a series of partially penetrating vertical wells. This concept is used to estimate a distance from an observation well at which a vertical well that has the same total pumping rate as the horizontal well will produce the same draw down as the horizontal well. This equivalent distance may then be associated with an observation well for use in pumping test algorithms and type curves developed for vertical wells. The method is shown to produce good results for confined aquifers and unconfined aquifers in the absence of delayed yield response. For unconfined aquifers, the presence of delayed yield response increases the method error.

The binary toxins produced by B. anthracis, B. cereus, C. botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens, and C. spiroforme consist of components not physically associated in solution that are linked to various diseases in humans, animals, or insects. The "B" components are synthesized as precursors that are subsequently activated by serine-type proteases on the targeted cell surface and/or in solution. Following release of a 20-kDa N-terminal peptide, the activated "B" components form homoheptameric rings that subsequently dock with an "A "component(s) on the cell surface. By following an acidified endosomal route and translocation into the cytosol, "A" molecules disable a cell (and host organism) via disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, increasing intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, or inactivation of signaling pathways linked to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases. Recently, B. anthracis has gleaned much notoriety as a biowarfare/bioterrorism agent, and of primary interest has been the edema and lethal toxins, their role in anthrax, as well as the development of efficacious vaccines and therapeutics targeting these virulence factors and ultimately B. anthracis. This review comprehensively surveys the literature and discusses the similarities, as well as distinct differences, between each Clostridium and Bacillus binary toxin in terms of their biochemistry, biology, genetics, structure, and applications in science and medicine. The information may foster future studies that aid novel vaccine and drug development, as well as a better understanding of a conserved intoxication process utilized by various gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 16 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 565 EP - 580 SN - 08958378 AB - A series of studies was performed to address treatment against the former chemical warfare edemagenic gas phosgene. Both in situ and in vivo models were used to assess the efficacy of postexposure treatment of phosgene-induced lung injury using clinically existing drugs. The degree of efficacy was judged by examining treatment effects on pulmonary edema formation (PEF) as measured by wet/dry weight (WW/DW) ratios, real-time (in situ) lung weight gain (LWG), survival rates (SR), odds ratios, and glutathione (GSH) redox states. Drugs included N -acetylcysteine (NAC), ibuprofen (IBU), aminophylline (AMIN), and isoproterenol (ISO). Using the in situ isolated perfused rabbit lung model (IPRLM), intratracheal (IT) NAC (40 mg/kg bolus) delivered 45-60 min after phosgene exposure (650 mg/m 3 ) for10 min lowered pulmonary artery pressure, LWG, leukotrienes (LT) C 4 /D 4 /E 4 , lipid peroxidation, and oxidized GSH. We concluded that NAC protected against phosgene-induced lung injury by acting as an antioxidant by maintaining protective levels of GSH, reducing both lipid peroxidation and production of arachidonic acid metabolites. Also in IPRLM, administration of AMIN (30 mg/kg) 80-90 min after phosgene exposure significantly reduced lipid peroxidation and perfusate LTC 4 /D 4 /E 4 , reduced LWG, and prevented phosgene-induced decreases in lung tissue cAMP. These data suggest that protective mechanisms observed with AMIN involve decreased LTC 4 /D 4 /E 4 mediated pulmonary capillary permeability and attenuated lipid peroxidation. Direct antipermeability effects of AMIN-induced upregulation of cAMP on cellular contraction may also be important in protection against phosgene-induced lung injury. Posttreatment with ISO in the IPRLM by either combined intravascular (iv; infused into pulmonary artery at 24 μg/min infused) + IT (24 μg bolus) or IT route alone 50-60 min after phosgene exposure significantly lowered pulmonary artery pressure, tracheal pressure, and LWG. ISO treatment significantly enhanced GSH products or maintained protective levels when compared with results from phosgene-exposed only rabbits. These data suggest that protective mechanisms for ISO involve reduction in vascular pressure, decreased LTC 4 /D 4 /E 4 -mediated pulmonary capillary permeability, and favorably maintained lung tissue GSH redox states. For in vivo male mouse (CD-1, 25-30 g) studies IBU was administered ip within 20 min after a lethal dose of phosgene (32 mg/m 3 for 20 min) at 0 (saline), 3, 9, or 15 mg/mouse. Five hours later, a second IBU injection was given but at half the original doses (0, 1.5, 4.5, and 7.5 mg/mouse); therefore, these treatment groups are now referred to as the 0/0, 3/1.5, 9/4.5, and 15/7.5 mg IBU/mouse groups. SRs and odds ratios were calculated for each dose at 12 and 24 h. The 12-h survival was 63% for 9/4.5 mg IBU and 82% for the 15/7.5 mg IBU groups, compared with 25% for saline-treated phosgene-exposed mice. At 24 h, those survival rates were reduced to 19%, 19%, and 6%, respectively. In the 15/7.5 mg IBU group, lung WW/DW ratios were significantly lower than in saline-treated mice at 12 h. Lipid peroxidation was lower only for the 9/4.5 mg IBU dose; however, nonprotein sulfhydryls (a measure of GSH) were greater across all IBU doses. The odds ratio was 5 for the 9/4.5 IBU group at 12 h and 13 for the 15/7.5 mg IBU group, compared with 3.5 for both groups at 24 h. IBU posttreatment increased the survival of mice at 12 h by reducing PEF, lipid peroxidation, and GSH depletion. In conclusion, effective treatment of phosgene-induced lung injury involves early postexposure intervention that could reduce free radical species responsible for lipid peroxidation, correct the imbalance in the GSH redox state, and prevent the release of biological mediators such as leukotrienes, which are accountable for increased permeability.

This paper summarizes research efforts and resulting conclusions by the US Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, beginning with the Scientific Report Series and continuing with the Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS). Using a tiered approach to monitoring and a wide range of tools, the DAMOS program has monitored short- and long-term physical and biological effects of disposal at designated disposal sites throughout New England waters. The DAMOS program has also helped develop new techniques for safe ocean disposal of contaminated sediments, including capping and confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells. Monitoring conducted at many sites in New England and around the world has shown that impacts are typically near-field and short-term. Findings such as these need to be disseminated to the general public, whose perception of dredged material disposal is generally negative and is not strongly rooted in current science.

In this study we investigated the reduction of NO with cast iron as a potential treatment method. NO was reduced stepwise to glycerol via 1,2- and 1,3-dinitroglycerins (ONGs) and 1- and 2-mononitroglycerins (MNGs). Nitrite was released in each reduction step and was further reduced to NH4+. Adsorption of NC and its reduction products to cast iron was minimal. A reaction pathway and a kinetic model for NO reduction with cast iron were proposed. The estimated surface area-normalized reaction rate constants for NG and NO2- were (1.65 ± 0.30) × 10-2 (L·m-2h-1) and (0.78 ± 0.09) × 10-2 (L·m-2h-1), respectively. Experiments using dialysis cell with iron and a graphite sheet showed that reduction of NO to glycerol can be mediated by graphite. However, reduction of NO2- mediated by graphite was very slow. NG and NO2- were also found to reduce to glycerol and NH4+ by Fe2+ in the presence of magnetite but not by aqueous Fe2+ or magnetite alone. These results indicate that in a cast iron-water system NO may be reduced via multiple mechanisms involving different reaction sites, whereas nitrite is reduced mainly by iron and! or adsorbed Fe2+. The study demonstrates that iron can rapidly reduce NG to innocuous and biodegradable end products and represents a new approach to treat NG- containing wastewaters.

T1 - The use of wetlands in the Mississippi Delta for wastewater assimilation: a review JO - Ocean & Coastal Management JF - Ocean & Coastal Management Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 47 IS - 11/12 M3 - Article SP - 671 EP - 691 SN - 09645691 AB - Abstract: The use of wetlands for treatment of wastewaters has a number of important ecological and economic benefits. Adding nutrient rich treated wastewater effluent to selected coastal wetlands results in the following benefits: (1) improved effluent water quality; (2) increased accretion rates to help offset subsidence; (3) increased productivity of vegetation; and (4) financial and energy savings of capital not invested in conventional tertiary treatment systems. We present as case studies results from several wetlands that are receiving secondarily treated wastewater in coastal Louisiana. At one site where sedimentation accumulation was measured, rates of accretion increased significantly after wastewater application began in the treatment site (from 7.8 to 11.4mmyr−1) and approached the estimated rate of regional relative sea level rise (RSLR) (12.0mmyr−1). No corresponding increase was observed in an adjacent control site. This suggests that the application of nutrient-rich wastewater can help coastal wetlands survive sea level rise. In the same site, surface water nutrient reduction, from the effluent inflow to outflow (1600m), ranged from 100% for nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) to 66% for total phosphorus (P). At a second site, a forested wetland that has been receiving wastewater effluent for 50 years, N and P were both reduced by more than 90%. Nutrient reduction is due to three main pathways: burial, denitrification and plant uptake. Dendrochronological analysis at the second site revealed that stem growth increased significantly in the treatment site after wastewater applications began, and was significantly greater than an adjacent control site. Similar increases in productivity have been measured in a number of wetland treatment sites. Economic analyses comparing conventional and wetland systems indicate savings range from $500,000 to $2.6 million. In addition there are substantial energy savings.

T1 - A FIELD TEST AND COMPARISON OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC SEDIMENT TOXICITY TESTS WITH THE ESTUARINE AMPHIPOD LEPTOCHEIRUS PLUMULOSUS IN CHESAPEAKE BAY, USA. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 23 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1751 EP - 1761 SN - 07307268 AB - A 28-d partial life-cycle test with the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was developed in response to the need for an assay to mimic chronic exposure to sediment-associated contaminants. To ensure that toxicity tests have environmental relevance, it is essential to evaluate the relationship between laboratory responses and field measures of contamination. Consequently, one objective of the study was to compare the results of the chronic sediment toxicity test with L. plumulosus to gradients of sediment contamination and the in situ benthic community in its native Chesapeake Bay. Chronic tests were conducted by two laboratories, the Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station ([WES]; Vicksburg, MS, USA) and the University of Maryland ([UM] College Park, MD, USA) using different feeding regimes, providing the opportunity to evaluate the effect of this variable on response sensitivity. A second objective was to compare the relative sensitivity of acute and chronic tests with L. plumulosus with field-collected sediments. Overall, there was good agreement between the toxicological response of acute and chronic tests with L. plumulosus and field measures of contamination. Survival in the acute test and chronic test conducted by WES was negatively correlated with concentrations of sediment-associated contaminants. Survival in acute exposures was significantly reduced in sediments from 8 of 11 stations. Indigenous L. plumulosus were found only at two of the three stations that did not exhibit acute toxicity. An unexpected finding was the difference in responsiveness of the two chronic tests. Survival in tests conducted by UM and WES was significantly reduced in sediments from 4 and 6 of 11 stations, respectively. No additional sublethal toxicity was detected in the UM chronic test, but the WES test detected reproductive effects at two additional stations. We believe the observed differences were related to the test diet used. Partly as a result of our...

Continuous records since 1952 are available at a number of stations, and at several stations, acidity records date back to 1930. Comparable analysis techniques were maintained over the period of record, assuring the long term continuity of the database. This monitoring program has captured integrated long term trends within large and complex watersheds with numerous and varied types of mine discharges. The focus of this paper is a historical trend analysis of lightly to severely acid degraded major tributaries of the Allegheny River. Over the past three decades, all of the Allegheny River drainage basin stations have demonstrated steady and substantial declines in acidity and associated increases in pH and alkalinity. The average recorded decline in total acidity at four stations monitored since the 1950s was 94 percent. Since the 1970s, acidity declined by an average of 63 percent at 10 stations. Oxidative exhaustion of pyritic minerals exposed by mining is proposed as a major factor influencing these trends.

Samples taken from a well were compared with samples taken using low-flow sampling. The PDB sampler was the easiest to use, but could only be used to sample volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The HydraSleeve and the KABIS samplers were also easy to use; these devices produced representative concentrations of explosives, pesticides, and metals in the standpipe experiments, but elevated the turbidity in our monitoring well. Although there were statistically significant differences for some VOCs with both devices, these differences were generally very small (< 5%). The one exception was an 18% loss of TCE with the KABIS sampler. The Discrete Interval sampler and the Pneumo-Bailer are pressurized devices that are designed to only collect a sample when activated. The Pneumo-Bailer was heavy and awkward to handle, required a nitrogen tank in the field, and involved many steps to operate. The Discrete Interval sampler only required a bicycle pump to pressurize the chamber and was lighter and easier to handle and operate than its counterpart. Both devices generally delivered representative concentrations of all the analytes tested.

Spinach and parrotfeather extract solutions removed 99% and 50% of the initial TNT, respectively; TNT was not eliminated in the controls or in extract solutions where removal activity was deactivated by boiling. A first-order removal constant of 0.052 h−1 was estimated for spinach extract solutions treating 20 mg l−1 TNT concentrations, which compared favorably to intact plant removal. Concentration variation was described by Michaelis–Menton kinetics. Detectable TNT degradation products represented only a fraction of the total TNT transformed, and the transformation favored the formation of 4-aminodinitrotoluene. The results indicated that crude plant extracts transform TNT, without the presence of the live plant.

It can be applied to any situation for which the odor-causing agent is known and a purified standard is available. The attribute rating test requires that a standard solution of the odorant be prepared at a concentration that is both readily recognized by most individuals and likely to evoke customer complaints. Within an hour individuals can be trained to compare the odor type and intensity of the standard to water samples, then rate the odor in the sample as "not detected," "less than the standard," "equal to standard," or "greater than the standard." The attribute rating test was successfully used by a full-scale water treatment facility to monitor the intensity of geosmin in the source water and to determine the effectiveness of powdered activated carbon for controlling its earthy-odor in treated water.

Several pigmented variants of B. subtilis have been reclassified as B. atrophaeus, but several remain ambiguous in regard to their taxonomic placement. In this study, we examined strains within the American Type Culture Collection originally deposited as Bacillus globigii, B. subtilis var. niger, or Bacillus niger using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to determine the level of molecular diversity among these strains and their relationship with closely related taxa. The 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed little variation with one base substitution between the B. atrophaeus type strain ATCC 49337 and the other pigmented bacilli. AFLP analysis produced high-quality DNA fingerprints with sufficient polymorphism to reveal strain-level variation. Cluster analysis of Dice similarity coefficients revealed that three strains, ATCC 31028, ATCC 49760, and ATCC 49822, are much more closely related to B. atrophaeus than to B. subtilis and should be reclassified as B. atrophaeus. A very closely related cluster of B. atrophaeus strains was also observed; this cluster was genetically distinct from the type strain. The level of variation between the two groups was approximately the same as the level of variation observed between members of the two B. subtilis subspecies, subtilis and spizizenii. It is proposed that the cluster of strains typified by ATCC 9372 be designated a new subspecies, B. atrophaeus subsp, globigii.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 23 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1335 EP - 1343 SN - 07307268 AB - The study examined the temporal response of Hyalella azteca to pentachlorobenzene (PCBZ) in water-only exposures. Toxicity was evaluated by calculating the body residue of PCBZ associated with survival. The concentration of PCBZ in the tissues of H. azteca associated with 50% mortality decreased from 3 to 0.5 μmol/g over the temporal range of 1 to 28 d, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the body residue calculated for 50% mortality when the value was determined using live or dead organisms. Metabolism of PCBZ was not responsible for the temporal response because no detectable PCBZ biotransformation occurred over an exposure period of 10 d. A damage assessment model was used to evaluate the impact and repair of damage by PCBZ on H. azteca. The toxicokinetics were determined so that the temporal toxicity data could be fit to a damage assessment model. The half-life calculated for the elimination of PCBZ averaged approximately 49 h, while the value determined for the half-life of damage repair from the damage assessment model was 33 h.

T1 - Military Deployment Human Exposure Assessment: Urine Total and Isotopic Uranium Sampling Results. JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2004/04/23/ VL - 67 IS - 8-10 M3 - Article SP - 697 EP - 714 SN - 15287394 AB - Currently the Department of Defense (DoD) does not use exposure biomarkers to measure service members' exposure to environmental chemicals. Blood and urine exposure biomarkers for volatile organic compounds (VOC), selected heavy metals, depleted uranium (DU), and chemical warfare agents are currently available but have not been field tested or validated by the DoD in military deployments as a tool to document exposures. The Military Deployment Human Exposure Assessment Study, a prospective cohort of 46 soldiers deployed to Bosnia, was designed to field test blood and urine exposure biomarkers as a mechanism to document exposures to these chemicals during military deployments. Blood and urine were collected before, during, and after deployment. Standard questionnaire, environmental, and occupational monitoring data collection methods were conducted for comparison to the exposure biomarker results. This article compares and reports the pre-, during, and postdeployment urine total and isotopic uranium measurements and compares them to perceived exposures captured on questionnaire, to environmental data collected by the United Nations Environmental Program in Bosnia, and to standard U.S. urine uranium reference levels (CDC, 2003). Additionally, the questionnaire and environmental and occupational measurements are reported. The results of the study indicate that exposure biomarkers may be a valuable tool to the DoD in exposure and risk assessment with regard to environmental and occupational exposures to uranium.

The physical form of the deposited explosives has a bearing on this problem, yet the shapes and size distributions of the explosive particles remaining after detonations are not known.We collected residues from 8 high-order and 6 low-order non-tactical detonations of TNT-filled 155-mm rounds. We found significant variation in the amount of TNT scattered from the high-order detonations, ranging from 0.00001 to 2% of the TNT in the original shell. All low-order detonations scattered percent-level amounts of TNT. We imaged thousands of TNT particles and determined the size, mass and surface-area distributions of particles collected from one high-order and one low-order detonation. For the high-order detonation, particles smaller than 1 mm contribute most of the mass and surface area of the TNT scattered. For the low-order detonation, most of the scattered TNT mass was in the form of un-heated, centimeter-sized pieces whereas most of the surface area was again from particles smaller than 1 mm. We also observed that the large pieces of TNT disintegrate readily, giving rise to many smaller particles that can quickly dissolve. We suggest picking up the large pieces of TNT before they disintegrate to become point sources of contamination.

Ethanol was used as the cosolvent, and the main remedial mechanism was enhanced dissolution based on the phase behavior of the water–ethanol–PCE system. Based on the knowledge of the actual PCE volume introduced into the cell, it was estimated that 83 L of PCE were present at the start of the test. Over a 40-day period, 64% of the PCE was removed by flushing the cell with an alcohol solution of approximately 70% ethanol and 30% water. High removal efficiencies at the end of the test indicated that more PCE could have been removed had it been possible to continue the demonstration. The ethanol solution extracted from the cell was recycled during the test using activated carbon and air stripping treatment. Both of these treatment processes were successful in removing PCE for recycling purposes, with minimal impact on the ethanol content in the treated fluids. Results from pre- and post-flushing partitioning tracer tests overestimated the treatment performance. However, both of these tracer tests missed significant amounts of the PCE present, likely due to inaccessibility of the PCE. The tracer results suggest that some PCE was inaccessible to the ethanol solution which led to the inefficient PCE removal rates observed. The flux-averaged aqueous PCE concentrations measured in the post-flushing tracer test were reduced by a factor of 3 to 4 in the extraction wells that showed the highest PCE removal compared to those concentrations in the pre-flushing tracer test.

The authors used Cox's proportional hazard modeling with data from all DoD hospitals to estimate the probability of hospitalization resulting from any cause, resulting from diagnosis in a major diagnostic category, and resulting from a specific diagnosis of interest. After adjusting for other risk factors, registry participants were 1.43 times mare likely to have a postwar hospitalization than registry nonparticipants (95% confidence interval, 1.40-1.46). These findings support the hypothesis that registry participants were mare likely to experience postwar morbidity than veterans who chose not to enroll in the health registries.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 70 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2289 EP - 2295 SN - 00992240 AB - Pulsed electric field (PEF)-resistant and PEF-sensitive Listeria monocytogenes strains were sublethally treated with electric pulses at 15 kV/cm for 29 µs and held at 25°C for 5 to 30 min prior to protein extraction. The levels of the molecular chaperones GroEL, GroES, and DnaJ were determined by immunoblotting. After 10 to 20 min after sublethal PEF treatment, a transient decrease in molecular chaperone expression was observed in the PEF-sensitive strain (Scott A). The levels of GroEL and DnaJ increased back to the basal expression level within 30 min. A substantial decrease in GroES expression persisted for at least 30 min after PEF treatment. Chaperone expression was suppressed after PEF treatment to a smaller extent in the PEFresistant (OSY-8578) than in the PEF-sensitive strain, and no clear expression pattern was identified in OSY-8578. Inactivation of Scott A and OSY-8578 in phosphate buffer was compared when lethal PEF (27.5 kV/cm, 144 µs) and heat (55°C, 10 min) were applied in sequence. When PEF and heat treatments were applied separately, the populations of L. monocytogenes Scott A and OSY-8578 decreased 0.5 to 0.6 log CFU/ml. Cells treated first with PEF and incubated at 25°C for 10 min showed substantial sensitivity to subsequent heat treatment; the decrease in counts for Scott A and OSY-8578 was 6.1 and 2.8 log CFU/ml, respectively. The sequence and time lapse between the two treatments were crucial for achieving high inactivation rates. It is concluded that PEF sensitized L. monocytogenes to heat and that maximum heat sensitization occurred when chaperone expression was at a minimum level.

T1 - Gestational exposure to methylmercury retards choice in transition in aging rats JO - Neurotoxicology & Teratology JF - Neurotoxicology & Teratology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 179 SN - 08920362 AB - Developmental exposure to methylmercury has behavioral effects that extend into adulthood and aging. In this study, methylmercury''s prolonged effects on the acquisition of choice and sensitivity to changes in reinforcement rates were studied. Pregnant female rats were exposed to drinking water containing 0, 0.5, or 6.4 ppm Hg as methylmercury, resulting in about 40 and 500 μg/kg/day of mercury intake. Maternal exposure began at least 4 weeks before mating, and continued to postnatal day 16. Then all mercury exposure ended. The behavior of 1.7- and 2.3-year-old offspring was maintained under various concurrent schedules of reinforcement. Thus, one reinforcement schedule maintained left-lever responding and a separate one maintained right-lever responding. The animal could switch (“changeover”) between the two levers at any time. For the first 30 min of a 3-h session, the left and right levers each produced reinforcement at the same rate and left:right response ratios were about 1:1. After 30 min, either the left lever became richer than the right; the right lever became richer than the left, or there was no change. Terminal reinforcer ratios (left:right) used were 9:1, 4:1, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:9. Response rates on the two levers were tracked continuously through a session. This novel procedure for examining choice, and its acquisition, in a single session, was validated through many comparisons with the extant literature. Both response rates and changeover rates were influenced by the reinforcer ratios for the 1.7-year-olds. Changeover rates were not influenced by reinforcement rate for their 2.3-year-old littermates. For the 1.7-year-olds, there was no effect of methylmercury on changeover or response rates and there was no interaction between exposure and reinforcer ratio. In controls and most methylmercury-exposed rats, response ratios (the measure of choice) approximately matched reinforcer ratios by the end of the single session. This is commonly interpreted as reflecting sensitivity to reinforcement rates. Methylmercury exposure did not affect this measure systematically. The single-session transition from baseline (response ratios about 1:1) to terminal performance was retarded in many methylmercury-exposed rats relative to controls, especially in the older rats. The 2.3-year-old control rats required about 20 to 25 reinforcers to complete one half of the 9:1 and 4:1 transitions, respectively, and exposed rats required about twice as many. Thus, prenatal methylmercury exposure specifically retarded the acquisition of choice in older rats. Methylmercury did not interfere with the final expression of choice. Moreover, two rate measures, lever-press rates and changeover rates, were not systematically affected by methylmercury. The acquisition of choice appears to be very sensitive to subtle consequences of developmental methylmercury exposure. The specific tactics greatly reduced the time required to study behavior in transition from a month in previous reports to a single session here.

Mechanical engineering majors enroll in Energy Conversion Systems (ME 472) during the fall semester of their senior year as an advanced elective. ME 472 builds directly on the material covered in Thermodynamics (EM 301) taken during the student’s junior year. In the first segment of ME 472, the students study advanced thermodynamic topics including exergy and combustion analyses. The students then analyze various mechanical systems including refrigeration systems, internal combustion engines, boilers, and fossil fuel fired steam and gas turbine combined power plants. Exergetic efficiencies of various equipment and systems are determined. The final portion of the course covers direct energy conversion technology, including fuel cells, photovoltaics, thermoelectricity, thermionics and magnetohydrodynamics. Supplemental lessons on energy storage, semi-conductors and nonreactive energy sources (such as solar collectors, wind turbines, and hydroelectric plants) are included here. This paper discusses the evolution of ME 472 since its inception and explains the motivations for the course’s progress.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 16 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 103 EP - 111 SN - 08958378 AB - The inhalation toxicity of cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GF) was examined in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats exposed by whole body in a dynamic 750-L chamber. The objectives of this study were to (1) generate GF vapor in a dynamic inhalation chamber system, starting in the lethal to near-lethal concentration range, (2) examine dose-response effects of inhaled GF vapor and analyze the relationship between concentration ( C ) and exposure duration ( T ) in determining probability of lethality, and (3) establish a lethal potency ratio between GF and the more volatile agent Sarin (GB). Using a syringe pump, GF vapor concentrations were generated for exposure times of 10, 60, and 240 min. Dose-response curves with associated slopes were determined for each exposure duration by the Bliss probit method. GF vapor exposures were associated with sublethal clinical signs such as tremors, convulsions, salivation, and miosis. Concentration-exposure time values for lethality in 50% of the exposed population (LCT 50 ) were calculated for 24-h and 14-day postexposure periods for 10-, 60-, and 240-min exposures. In general, LCT 50 values were lower in female rats than males and increased with exposure duration; that is, CT was not constant over time. The GF LCT 50 values for female rats were 253 mg min/m 3 at 10 min, 334 mg min/m 3 at 60 min, and 533 mg min/m 3 at 240 min, while the values for males were 371, 396, and 585 mg min/m 3 , respectively. The GB LCT 50 values for female rats were 235 mg min/m 3 at 10 min, 355 mg min/m 3 at 60 min, and 840 mg min/m 3 at 240 min, while the values for males were 316, 433, and 1296 mg min/m 3 , respectively. At longer exposure durations, the LCT 50 for GF was less than that found for GB but at shorter exposure durations, the LCT 50 for GF was more than that found for GB. Empirical models, consisting of the toxic load model plus higher order terms, were developed and successfully fit to the data.

Detailed water budget analysis and a histogram of the elevation data points coupled with a level-pool assumption over the prairie basin allowed for determination of the hydroperiod on an areal basis. This analysis method facilitated comparison of restoration alternatives in terms of the restoration project objective to create permanently inundated conditions at water depths 0.15–0.61 m (for waterfowl) over greater than 50% of the prairie area within the first 5 years after construction. Construction costs were estimated and compared for each of the alternatives that attained the restoration objective, with the least cost project identified as the recommended alternative.

In circular tank experiments under controlled laboratory conditions, we tested the ability of cottids to prey on sockeye salmon fry under six different light intensities using minimal water circulation to separate the effect of the migratory behavior of fry from the ability of cottids to capture them. We found that cottids preyed most effectively in complete darkness, whereas the lowest predation occurred at the brightest light intensity. We next tested the predation ability of cottids at four light intensities in a pair of artificial streams to simulate more natural conditions. In experiments without cottids, the majority of fry passed quickly through the artificial streams under complete darkness, but as light intensity was increased, fewer fry emigrated and did so at a slower rate. With cottids present and increased light intensity, even fewer fry emigrated but they did so at a faster rate than did those in the stream without cottids. We determined that cottids probably consumed about 5% of the sockeye salmon fry under complete darkness and ate about 45% of the fry at the brightest light intensity tested. In experimental field trials, the shoreline abundance of fry and predation by cottids increased as light intensities increased. Using two small lights within an 8-m shoreline section on the Cedar River, Washington, we delayed as many as 550 sockeye salmon fry and observed predation of as many as 7.6 fry/cottid. At the end of the experiment, we turned the lights off and noted that the shoreline abundance of fry declined dramatically. At two locations on the Cedar River lit by city lights, the abundance of sockeye salmon fry and predation by cottids was substantially greater than at...

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 86 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 115 EP - 120 SN - 00179078 AB - We have previously reported species differences in the rate of skin heating in response to millimeter wavelength microwave exposure. We hypothesized that these differences were predominantly a function of species differences in the ability to increase skin blood flow during local heating. Mathematical modeling also suggested that, in humans, the rate of skin heating during prolonged millimeter wavelength exposure would be dependent on skin blood flow. In order to empirically test this hypothesis, we determined the role of baseline skin blood flow on the rate of cutaneous heating induced by 94-GHz microwave energy in humans (3 female, 3 male) using infrared thermography and laser Doppler imaging to measure skin temperature and relative skin blood flow, respectively. Millimeter wavelength exposure intensities used were high power (HP), 1 W·cm[sup -2] for 4 s and low power, 175 mW cm[sup -2] for 180 s. Skin blood flow was (a) normal, (b) eliminated using a blood pressure cuff to occlude forearm blood flow, or (c) elevated by heating the skin prior to irradiation. Results showed that for the HP exposures, these manipulations did not influence the rate of skin heating. For the low power exposures, occlusion of baseline skin blood flow had a small impact on the subsequent rate of heating. In contrast, a two-fold elevation in baseline skin blood flow had a profound impact on the subsequent rate of heating, resulting in a substantially lower rate of heating. Occlusion of an elevated skin blood flow reversed this lower rate of heating. The results of these studies demonstrate that relatively small changes in skin blood flow may produce substantial alterations in the rate of skin heating during prolonged 94-GHz exposure.

JO - Water Science & Technology JF - Water Science & Technology Y1 - 2004/01/15/ VL - 49 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 55 EP - 62 SN - 02731223 AB - Traditional research has focused on the visible effects of corrosion -- failures, leaks, and financial debits -- and often overlooked the more hidden health and aesthetic aspects. Clearly, corrosion of copper pipe can lead to levels of copper in the drinking water that exceed health guidelines and cause bitter or metallic tasting water. Because water will continue to be conveyed to consumers worldwide through metal pipes, the water industry has to consider both the effects of water quality on corrosion and the effects of corrosion on water quality. Integrating four key factors -- chemical/biological causes, economics, health and aesthetics -- is critical for managing the distribution system to produce safe water that consumers will use with confidence. As technological developments improve copper pipes to minimize scaling and corrosion, it is essential to consider the health and aesthetic effects on an equal plane with chemical/biological causes and economics to produce water that is acceptable for public consumption.

Here we report that co-expression of MARV glycoprotein and matrix protein (VP40) in mammalian cells leads to spontaneous budding of filamentous particles strikingly similar to wild-type MARV. In addition, these particles elicit an immune response in BALB/c mice. The generation of non-replicating Marburg virus-like particles (VLPs) should significantly facilitate the research on molecular mechanisms of MARV assembly and release. Furthermore, VLPs may be an excellent vaccine candidate against Marburg infection.

Eco-SSLs are developed from published values whenever sufficient quantity and quality of data exist. Because insufficient information was available to generate an Eco-SSL for Mn, standardized toxicity testing was undertaken to fill the data gaps. Tests included the earthworm (Eisenia fetida) cocoon production test, the enchytraeid (Enchytraeus crypticus) reproduction test, and the collembolan (Folsomia candida) reproduction test, all conducted in Sassafras sandy loam soil that supports a relatively high bioavailability of metals. Weathering and aging of manganese-amended soil were carried out to more closely simulate exposure effects at Superfund sites on soil invertebrates. Data were analyzed by nonlinear regression to determine EC20 and EC50 values based on concentration–response relationships. The toxicity order for manganese in Sassafras sandy loam was E. crypticus>E. fetida>F. candida, with EC20 values of 116, 629, and 1209 mg kg−1, respectively. The Eco-SSL requirement for the testing of multiple representative species is well justified. All study results will be submitted to the Eco-SSL Task Group for quality control review prior to inclusion in the Eco-SSL database.

These organisms were subsequently identified as Rhizobium rhizogenes BL and Burkholderia sp.BL by the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ, German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures). In addition a fungus, identified as Cladosporium cladosporioides by DSMZ, was found to be growing on water wet RDX. All of these organisms were found to degrade RDX. The two bacteria were found to represent new species that have not been reported before. It was found that these organisms along with an added carbon source could degrade RDX to simple gaseous products. Data are presented that elucidate the mechanisms of RDX biodegradation for these organisms.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 23 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 141 EP - 149 SN - 07307268 AB - Previous investigations of the ecotoxicity of TNT in spiked sediments noted the rapid degradation and disappearance of the toxicant, yet little is understood regarding the effects of this process on toxicity and subsequent derivation of toxicity reference values. We conducted environmental fate studies and 28-d sediment toxicity tests with benthic oligochaete worms (Tubifex tubifex) with sediments spiked at three different TNT concentrations (440, 1,409, and 4,403 nmol/g dry wt) aged for 1, 8, and 29 d. Because of rapid degradation of TNT, disappearance of degradation products, and partitioning to overlying water, only 25 to 40% of the added nitroaromatic mass balance was associated with sediment immediately after spiking. Lethal toxicity decreased with aging time and was best described by measured sediment nitroaromatic concentrations (sum of TNT and degradation products) at the beginning of exposure, with a median lethal concentration of nitroaromatic compounds of 184 nmol/g dry weight. To accurately describe the ephemeral exposure doses of TNT and its degradation products during toxicity tests with spiked sediments, we suggest that sediments should be aged at least 8 to 14 d after spiking, exposure should be based on measured sediment concentrations or chemical measures of availability, exchange of overlying water should be avoided or minimized, and short-term toxicity tests should be considered.

SN - 01465422 AB - This article focuses on Web sites and open source databases featuring contemporary U.S. military and defense information. Information professionals, especially those familiar with the .S. Department of Defense or its agencies, realize that large amount of military and defense-related information, once freely available on the World Wide Web, is no longer accessible. The demand for increased operational security amid the potential for further terrorist attacks as well as the need to reduce the vulnerability of troops deployed in operations has led the defense establishment to put an emphasis on information posted publicly on the Web. Nevertheless, the amount of quality content still available online in the form of full-text papers, theses, monographs, and data sets allegedly remains extensive. Apparently, military gateways make excellent starting points for exploring the defense information sector. The small sample of authoritative directories can help one quickly see the entire spectrum of defense-related information, ranging from full-text reports to doctrine and lessons learned, from subject bibliographies and citation indexes to force structure tables and budget figures, from military maps and photos to weapons and equipment capabilities.

The dissipative terms in the equations involve convolutions of the acoustic fields with the impulse response of the medium. It is shown that the equations reduce to previously known results in the limits of low and high frequencies. Alternative time-domain equations are also derived based on a Padé approximation.

A single monochromatic source and a line-of-sight propagation path are assumed. The propagation distance, turbulence parameters (characteristic length scale and index-of-refraction variance), phase of the source, and signal-to-noise ratio are also included in the unknown parameter set. The Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the angle-of-arrival estimates are affected by the addition of the propagation distance and source phase as unknowns, and are not affected by the addition of the turbulence parameters and signal-to-noise ratio as unknowns.

Acoust. Soc. Am. 22, 6-13 (1950)] has left two general notions about broadband masking that are still being echoed in present-day textbooks on hearing. One is that broadband masking is linear (i.e., if the noise power level increases, the signal threshold level increases by exactly the same amount). The other is the existence of a nonmonotonic function of frequency, the critical ratio (CR) which, unlike the critical band (CB) or equivalent rectangular bandwidth (ERB) functions, shows a distinct upturn below 300 Hz. Exploring the possibility that Hawkins and Stevens' measurements may have been adversely affected by acoustic leakage at the headphones at low frequencies, the experiment was repeated with insert earphones. The resulting critical ratio function shows a monotonic dependence on frequency down to 90 Hz, similar to CB and ERB functions. Moreover, the CR function appears to closely approximate the ERB function when the dependence of each filter's detection efficiency on masker energy uncertainty is incorporated. Masking appears to be linear below 1000 Hz, but thresholds, expressed as S/N0 ratios, were found to increase systematically with increasing masker intensity at higher frequencies.

For example, turbulent eddies are often stretched in the direction of the mean wind, and the turbulence statistics depends on the height above the ground. Recent studies have shown that the log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of plane and spherical sound waves are significantly affected by turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy. The present paper is devoted to studies of the mean sound field and the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves propagating through inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations. These statistical moments of a sound field are important in many practical applications, e.g., for source detection, ranging, and recognition. Formulas are derived for the mean sound field and coherence function of initially arbitrary waveform. Using the latter formula, we also obtained formulas for the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves. All these formulas coincide with those known in the literature for two limiting cases: homogeneous isotropic turbulence with temperature and wind velocity fluctuations, and inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Using the formulas obtained, we have numerically shown that turbulence inhomogeneity significantly affects the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves.

In the present paper, line-of-sight sound propagation through inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations is considered. Starting from a parabolic equation and using the Markov approximation, formulas are derived for the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of a spherical sound wave. These statistical moments of a sound field are important for many practical applications in atmospheric acoustics. The derived formulas for the correlation functions and variances generalize those already known in the literature for two limiting cases: (a) homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, and (b) inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Furthermore, the formulas differ from those for the case of plane wave propagation. Using the derived formulas and Mann's spectral tensor of velocity fluctuations for shear-driven turbulence, the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations are studied numerically. The results obtained clearly show that turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy significantly affect sound propagation in the atmosphere.

We find that superior human capital, harmonious civil-military relations, and Western cultural background are largely responsible. These traits correlate positively with democracy, and account for democracy's apparent effectiveness bonus. This is either good news or bad news for democratic effectiveness theorists. Many believe that democracy causes these traits. If so, our findings strengthen democratic effectiveness theory by explicating its causal mechanism. But others see democracy as a consequence rather than a cause of such traits. If so, our findings challenge the thesis by identifying alternative causes of the effectiveness bonus previously attributed to democracy. Either way, the results show a powerful effect for unit level variables in military performance. In the process, these same results sharpen our understanding of military effectiveness in general, and the relationship between military performance and regime type in particular.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Objective: We compared prevalence, health care utilization, and costs over time for nonelderly adults diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in relation to timing of federal approvals for FMS drugs. Data Source: We used military health care claims from October 2006 to September 2010. Study Design/Analysis: Retrospective, multiple-year comparisons were conducted using trend analyses, and time series regression-based generalized linear models. Results: Over 5 years, FMS prevalence rates increased from 0.307% to 0.522%, whereas IBS and CFS prevalence rates remained stable. The largest increase in FMS prevalence occurred between 2007 and 2008. Health care utilization was higher for FMS cases compared to IBS and CFS cases. Over 5 years, the total cost for FMS-related care increased $163.2 million, whereas IBS costs increased $14.9 million and CFS cost increased $3.7 million. Between 2006 and 2010, total pharmacy cost for FMS cases increased from $55 million ($3,641/person) to $96.3 million ($3,557/person). Conclusion: Although cause and effect cannot be established, the advent of federally approved drugs for FMS in concert with pharmaceutical industry marketing of these drugs coincide with the observed changes in prevalence, health care utilization, and costs of FMS relative to IBS and CFS.

AB - Objective: This study investigated whether a stressful military training program, the 9- to 10-week U.S. Army basic combat training (BCT) course, alters the cognitive performance and mood of healthy young adult females. Background: Structured training programs including adolescent boot camps, sports training camps, learning enrichment programs, and military basic training are accepted methods for improving academic and social functioning. However, limited research is available on the behavioral effects of structured training programs in regard to cognitive performance and mood. Method: Two separate, within-subject studies were conducted with different BCT classes; in total 212 female volunteers were assessed before and after BCT. In Study 1, Four-Choice Reaction Time, Match-to-Sample, and Grammatical Reasoning tests were administered. The Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) was administered in Study 2. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was administered in both studies. Results: In Study 1, reaction time to correct responses on all three of the performance tests improved from pre- to post-BCT. In Study 2, PVT reaction time significantly improved. All POMS subscales improved over time in the second study, whereas POMS subscales in the first study failed to meet criteria for statistically significant differences over time. Conclusion: Cognition and mood substantially improved over military basic training. These changes may be a result of structured physical and mental training experienced during basic training or other factors not as yet identified. Application: Properly structured training may have extensive, beneficial effects on cognitive performance and mood; however, additional research is needed to determine what factors are responsible for such changes.

Copyright Statement: In the public domain AB - Although the Army has recently begun the practice of embedding behavioral health care providers (EBHP) in units in an effort to improve soldier well-being, the efficacy of this practice has not been evaluated. This study assesses 1 of the first programs implemented by the military. Using cross-sectional data obtained from a confidential survey of 12 company-level units in the California Army National Guard (n = 1,132), this study examines differences between units with and without EBHPs across a number of measures. Multilevel analysis of behavioral health symptoms, unit climate, perceptions of stigma, and practical barriers to care failed to detect main effects between units with EBHPs relative to those without. However, cross-level interactions were detected between unit EBHP status and soldiers reporting close relationship (e.g., spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend) impairment. Exploratory findings suggest that, among soldiers reporting close relationship impairment, those belonging to units with EBHPs reported significantly lower behavioral health symptoms and significantly more positive unit climates. Based on these limited exploratory finings, this study suggests that EBHPs in reserve units may have a positive effect on a subset of soldiers (i.e., those reporting close relationship impairment). More assessments of embed programs should be conducted, particularly using prospective longitudinal data among randomized units.

AB - This research identified competencies required to command a brigade. Interviews and surveys of military personnel provided a multisource perspective of brigade command competencies, including the proficiency level needed for each competency. Thirty-nine competencies were identified and categorized into 4 training-oriented clusters: leadership skills, operational skills, personal capabilities, and knowledge base. Participants reported their preferred methods to develop the competencies within each cluster. The competencies can be used to assess training effectiveness and to identify potential training gaps. Additionally, the model has utility outside of the military, as it describes a framework for leaders who must bridge the gap between organizational and strategic leadership.

AB - Providing behavioral health care to numerous beneficiaries spread over a large and dangerous area is a unique and challenging responsibility faced by the U.S. Army in the deployed environment. We describe the use of telebehavioral health as one tool available to behavioral health officers in Afghanistan to reach remote service members when face-to-face encounters are not possible or practical. Finally, challenges to the current telebehavioral system established during Operation Enduring Freedom are discussed, with recommendations made for implementation in future deployed settings.

AB - TrkA is a tyrosine kinase receptor required for development and survival of the peripheral nervous system. In the adult, TrkA and its ligand NGF are peripheral pain mediators, particularly in inflammatory pain states. However, how TrkA regulates the function of nociceptive neurons and whether its activity levels may lead to sensory abnormalities is still unclear. Here we report the characterization of a 3 aa (KFG) domain that negatively regulates TrkA level and function in response to NGF. Deletion of this domain in mouse causes a reduction of TrkA ubiquitination leading to an increase in TrkA protein levels and activity. The number of dorsal root ganglia neurons is not affected by the mutation. However, mutant mice have enhanced thermal sensitivity and inflammatory pain. Together, these data suggest that ubiquitination is a mechanism used in nociceptive neurons to regulate TrkA level and function. Our results may enhance our understanding of how ubiquitination affects TrkA activation following noxious thermal stimulation and inflammatory pain.

AB - This article argues that clinical research is needed to improve the emergency care of critically ill and injured patients. It is recognized that there are insufficient evidence-based therapies available to treat many of the conditions and injuries that arise in the emergency setting. Similarly, evaluations of disaster preparedness consistently show that while responsiveness has improved, necessary knowledge upon which to base treatments is lacking. In September 2011, the Emergency Emergency Care Coordination Center within the Office of the Secretary for Preparedness and Response of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) hosted the forum Institutional Review Board Options for Emergency Care Research. The forum provided an opportunity to discuss the barriers to the use of 'centralized' IRB review processes for research with human subjects (i.e., alternatives to local IRB review at each study site), to consider the benefits and disadvantages of utilizing existing and alternative IRB review models, and to describe important characteristics of IRB review models. The authors expand on key issues identified during the forum and highlight areas necessitating further fact-finding, research, and evaluation that may be helpful in alleviating some barriers to using a centralized IRB review process for emergency care research.

AB - The purpose of this study was to longitudinally investigate PTSD and depression between Reserve, National Guard, and active duty continuously and dichotomously. The study consisted of Millennium Cohort Study participants and used self-reported symptoms. Repeated measures modeling assessed PTSD and depression continuously and dichotomously over time. A subanalysis among only recently deployed personnel was conducted. Of the 52,653 participants for the PTSD analysis, the adjusted PCL-C means were 34.6 for Reservists, 34.4 for National Guardsmen, and 34.7 for active duty members, respectively. Of the 53,073 participants for depression analysis, the adjusted PHQ-9 means were 6.8, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively. In dichotomous models, Reservists and National Guardsmen did not have a higher risk of PTSD or depression compared with active duty members. Among deployers, Reservists and National Guardsmen had higher odds (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence limit [CL] [1.01, 1.34] and OR = 1.19, 95% CL [1.04, 1.36], respectively) of screening positive for PTSD, but not depression. Although Reserve and National Guard deployers had modestly increased odds of PTSD compared with active duty members, overall there were minimal differences in the risk and symptom scores of PTSD and depression between service components.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - It remains unclear whether the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) is a well-structured terror organization that poses a strategic threat, or a loosely organized collection of bandits that poses limited risk. Efforts to assess the nature of the organization are complicated by flaws in existing datasets on Violent Non-State Actors (VNSAs). ASG's role in kidnappings serves as a test-case to estimate incongruities among four major datasets on VNSAs. Original data collected at the agent level provides an additional point of comparison and also serves to test the efficacy of ASG's knowledge-dissemination structures, which are key in determining VNSAs' strategic capacities.

AB - Learning a novel environment involves integrating first-person perceptual and motoric experiences with developing knowledge about the overall structure of the surroundings. The present experiments provide insights into the parallel development of these egocentric and allocentric memories by intentionally conflicting body- and world-centered frames of reference during learning, and measuring outcomes via online and offline measures. Results of two experiments demonstrate faster learning and increased memory flexibility following route perspective reading (Experiment 1) and virtual navigation (Experiment 2) when participants begin exploring the environment on a northward (vs. any other direction) allocentric heading. We suggest that learning advantages due to aligning body-centered (left/right/forward/back) with world-centered (NSEW) reference frames are indicative of three features of spatial memory development and representation. First, memories for egocentric and allocentric information develop in parallel during novel environment learning. Second, cognitive maps have a preferred orientation relative to world-centered coordinates. Finally, this preferred orientation corresponds to traditional orientation of physical maps (i.e., north is upward), suggesting strong associations between daily perceptual and motor experiences and the manner in which we preferentially represent spatial knowledge.

AB - Objective: To determine the effects of current hearing protection/enhancement devices (HPEDs) and tactical communications and protection systems (TCAPS) on auditory detection and identification of three critical military signals associated with potential' threats. ' Design: Utilizing a 6 × 3 within-subject experimental design, 24 normal-hearing Virginia Tech Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets and active duty soldiers participated. Study sample: Five HPEDS and TCAP devices plus the open ear were tested. On each trial, either wearing a device or with open ears, subjects walked along a 3000-foot line of discrete distance markers toward the auditory threat, which was not visible but still within line-of-sight over fl at terrain, stopping to listen when instructed. On approach to the threat, the linear distance at first detection was measured, followed by a continued approach until positive identification occurred. Then the subject reversed direction, retreating away from the threat until detection was lost. Results: ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied to determine statistically-significant differences among HPEDs, TCAPS, and the open ear on the objective detection and identification distance measures. Conclusions: The results have serious implications for selection of HPDs, HPEDs, and TCAPS for applications where preservation of auditory situational awareness via the fundamental detection and identification tasks are essential.

AB - Using a personal computer (PC) for simple visual reaction time testing is advantageous because of the relatively low hardware cost, user familiarity, and the relative ease of software development for specific neurobehavioral testing protocols. However, general-purpose computers are not designed with the millisecond-level accuracy of operation required for such applications. Software that does not control for the various sources of delay may return reaction time values that are substantially different from the true reaction times. We have developed and characterized a freely available system for PC-based simple visual reaction time testing that is analogous to the widely used psychomotor vigilance task (PVT). In addition, we have integrated individualized prediction algorithms for near-real-time neurobehavioral performance prediction. We characterized the precision and accuracy with which the system as a whole measures reaction times on a wide range of computer hardware configurations, comparing its performance with that of the 'gold standard' PVT-192 device. We showed that the system is capable of measuring reaction times with an average delay of less than 10 ms, a margin of error that is comparable to that of the gold standard.

The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Introduction: Research has shown that tactile displays are an effective tool for augmenting spatial orientation and situation awareness information provided to aircraft operators. The tactile situation awareness system (TSAS) has been shown to improve flight performance in conditions of degraded visual environments and to safely maintain performance during hover over moving targets. The potential for the user to adapt and habituate to the stimulus of tactile display systems has not yet been investigated. Methods: Four UH-60 current, rated aviators (all male) participated in the pilot study. Subjects completed four consecutive iterations of a 3-h flight profile consisting of 10 maneuvers, totaling 12 h of continuous flight. Flight performance, tactor information, responses to a discomfort questionnaire, and ratings of fatigue symptoms were recorded. Results: The independent variable in all analyses was session (four levels). The results showed that performance per maneuver and proportion of stimulus cues (measure of response to cues) per maneuver were consistent across sessions using independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis tests. Discussion: The findings of this preliminary assessment support the use of tactile displays (consistent with parameters of TSAS) in continuous operations since performance and proportion of stimulus cues presented was consistent over a period of 12 h. In conclusion, the system will require further experimental testing, but these preliminary findings do not suggest performance or response to be affected by any adaptation or habituation to the stimulus.

AB - Despite substantial investments by government, philanthropic, and commercial sources over the past several decades, traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains an unmet medical need and a major source of disability and mortality in both developed and developing societies. The U.S. Department of Defense neurotrauma research portfolio contains more than 500 research projects funded at more than $700 million and is aimed at developing interventions that mitigate the effects of trauma to the nervous system and lead to improved quality of life outcomes. A key area of this portfolio focuses on the need for effective pharmacological approaches for treating patients with TBI and its associated symptoms. The Neurotrauma Pharmacology Workgroup was established by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) with the overarching goal of providing a strategic research plan for developing pharmacological treatments that improve clinical outcomes after TBI. To inform this plan, the Workgroup (a) assessed the current state of the science and ongoing research and (b) identified research gaps to inform future development of research priorities for the neurotrauma research portfolio. The Workgroup identified the six most critical research priority areas in the field of pharmacological treatment for persons with TBI. The priority areas represent parallel efforts needed to advance clinical care; each requires independent effort and sufficient investment. These priority areas will help the USAMRMC and other funding agencies strategically guide their research portfolios to ensure the development of effective pharmacological approaches for treating patients with TBI.

AB - The continued evolution of military munitions and armor on the battlefield, as well as the insurgent use of improvised explosive devices, has led to embedded fragment wounds containing metal and metal mixtures whose long-term toxicologic and carcinogenic properties are not as yet known. Advances in medical care have greatly increased the survival from these types of injuries. Standard surgical guidelines suggest leaving embedded fragments in place, thus individuals may carry these retained metal fragments for the rest of their lives. Nursing professionals will be at the forefront in caring for these wounded individuals, both immediately after the trauma and during the healing and rehabilitation process. Therefore, an understanding of the potential health effects of embedded metal fragment wounds is essential. This review will explore the history of embedded fragment wounds, current research in the field, and Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs guidelines for the identification and long-term monitoring of individuals with embedded fragments.

AB - As the only burn center in the Department of Defense, the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research is the primary location for care of service members with burn injuries. The combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan during the past decade have caused an increase in burn patients. As a result of this increased need, advancements in care were developed. The speed and precision of transporting patients from the battlefield to the burn center has improved over previous conflicts. Technological advancements to support treating complications of burn wound healing were leveraged and are now integrated into daily practice. Clinical decision support systems were developed and deployed at the burn center as well as to combat support hospitals in combat zones. Technology advancements in rehabilitation have allowed more service members to return to active duty or live productive civilian lives. All of these advancements were developed in a patient-centered, interdisciplinary environment where the nurses are integrated throughout the research process and clinical practice with the end goal of healing combat burns in mind.

AB - These three military authors offer a unique perspective into design thinking and military sense-making. They offer an argument that while the military as an institution prefers to make sense of the world through a systems-analytic paradigm that is increasingly problematic, a frame-changing design approach is needed instead. This approach requires a greater appreciation of uncertainty and the awareness dial new knowledge production must emerge from beyond the single preferred military paradigm.

AB - Multimedia learning environments require learners to integrate information across different sources and modalities, which can pose a challenge for some learners. Providing feedback on student responses can be an effective method of guiding learners to achieve a deep understanding of the material The feedback principle states that novice students learn better with explanatory feedback than with corrective feedback alone. Explanatory feedback provides the learner with a principle-based explanation of why his or her answer was correct or incorrect, whereas corrective feedback merely informs the learner that his or her response was correct or incorrect. The theoretical rationale is that explanatory feedback guides the learner in selecting the appropriate information and consequently reduces the amount of extraneous processing relative to providing only corrective feedback. This chapter reviews evidence for the feedback principle and explores some of the boundary conditions.

AB - Collective self-esteem refers to individuals’ evaluations of their social identities, their group affiliations. Private collective self-esteem includes assessments of how individuals privately evaluate their social group or groups while public collective self-esteem assesses how individuals believe others evaluate their social group or groups. This study examines the relationships between military cadets’ personal self-esteem, private and public collective self-esteem, and well-being. We find that cadets with higher private and public collective self-esteem also report higher personal self-esteem and lower levels of depression. While both private and public collective self-esteem have direct effects on depression, most of the effects of public collective self-esteem operate through personal self-esteem.

The author acknowledges the unnerving disjunction between listening, absorbed, to an oral history and subsequently adjusting the tone and subject to ordinary conversation. Working with the history of the Holocaust has a profound influence on the daily life of the author. The other part of working with the history of the Holocaust is an overwhelming sense of privilege.

AB - The study of attrition has largely focused on identifying demographic or biographic characteristics that predict whether soldiers complete their enlistment term. As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one’s term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one’s term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist.

AB - Multimodal warnings incorporate audio and/or skin-based (tactile) cues to supplement or replace visual cues in environments where the user’s visual perception is busy, impaired, or nonexistent. This paper describes characteristics of audio, tactile, and multimodal warning displays and their role in risk communications. The authors demonstrate that visual–auditory and visual–tactile displays can be significantly more effective than visual displays alone in enhancing user performance. The authors describe signal design guidelines, and illustrate the importance of knowledge of user attentional constraints and limitations in effectively using multimodal displays to communicate safety information. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future multimodal warning display design and research are presented.

However, recent work has found that individuals who are vulnerable to depression report poorer sleep quality compared to their low-risk counterparts, suggesting that sleep disturbance may precede depression. In addition, both sleep disturbance and depression are related to deficits in cognitive control processes. Thus we examined if poor sleep quality predicts subsequent increases in depressive symptoms and if levels of cognitive control mediated this relation. Methods: Thirty-five undergraduate students participated in two experimental sessions separated by 3weeks. Participants wore an actigraph watch between sessions, which provided an objective measure of sleep patterns. We assessed self-reported sleep quality and depressive symptoms at both sessions. Last, individuals completed an exogenous cuing task, which measured ability to disengage attention from neutral and negative stimuli during the second session. Results: Using path analyses, we found that both greater self-reported sleep difficulty and more objective sleep stability measures significantly predicted greater difficulty disengaging attention (i.e., less cognitive control) from negative stimuli. Less cognitive control over negative stimuli in turn predicted increased depression symptoms at the second session. Exploratory associations among the circadian locomotor output cycles kaput gene, CLOCK, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs11932595, as well as sleep assessments and depressive symptoms also are presented. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that sleep disruptions may contribute to increases in depressive symptoms via their impact on cognitive control. Further, variation in the CLOCK gene may be associated with sleep quality.

AB - Psychology is the science that will determine who wins and who loses the wars of the 21st century, just as physics ultimately led the United States to victory In World War II. Changes In the world's political landscape coupled with radical advances in the technology of war will greatly alter how militaries are formed, trained, and led. Leadership under fire—and the traits and skills it requires—is also changing. Grant, Lee, Pershing, Patton—these generals would not succeed in 21st century conflicts. In Head Strong: How Psychology is Revolutionizing War, Michael D. Matthews explores the many ways that psychology will make the difference for wars yet to come, from revolutionary advances in soldier selection and training to new ways of preparing soldiers to remain resilient In the face of horror and to engineering the super-soldier of the future. These advancements will ripple out to impact on the lives of all of us, not just soldiers. Amputees will have 'intelligent' life-like prosthetics that simulate the feel and function of a real limb. Those exposed to trauma will have new and more effective remedies to prevent or treat post-traumatic stress disorder. And a revolution In training—based heavily in the military's increasing reliance on immersive simulations—will radically alter how police, fire, and first-responder personnel are trained in the future. At its heart, war is the most human of endeavors. Psychology, as the science of human behavior will prove essential to success in future war. Authored by a West Point military psychologist, this book Is one of the first to expose us to the smarter wars, and the world around them, to come.

AB - Leadership scholars have long recognized the salience and influence of emotions and emotion management in leadership environments. However, many approaches assume that emotion management is needed in all leadership situations. This chapter argues that leaders' emotion-related capacities are more important in certain leader performance domains than others. The framework discussed here outlines various types of emotion knowledge, skills, and abilities critical for leader performance in seven areas of performance. This model advocates that leader knowledge concerning types of emotions, emotion norms, regulation methods, and emotion process and outcomes will facilitate the development and use of emotion-related abilities and skills. These abilities and skills in turn are expected to influence emotion-relevant leadership performance and their development and effective application is likely to depend on a number of individual traits and situational moderators. We hope this framework stimulates thinking with regard to the differential influence of emotion management across leadership performance domains and with regard to how organizations can foster the development of emotion management capabilities.

The life experiences of these children and families, the subculture in which they live, and the challenges and benefits of this lifestyle have transformed over time. Understanding the multifaceted culture of the military family is critical to working with military children and families. Aspects of military living and experiences shared by all military children and adolescents affect their identity as 'military brats.' Although characteristics of this culture may also be shared by their nonmilitary counterparts, military children share a common set of experiences that distinguish them from nonmilitary children.

Eisenhower seriously pursued a nuclear test ban agreement at the close of his presidency, few have closely examined his consideration of the issue during his first term in office. Publicly, his administration ridiculed Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson's highly publicized test ban proposal in 1956. In fact, Eisenhower's private inclination to ban testing antedated Stevenson's campaign proposal by two years. A review of the administration's techniques in countering Stevenson's proposal reveals the use of heated rhetoric, clever deception, and outright lies to manipulate public understanding of the nuclear testing issue and to conceal the depth of Eisenhower's own sincere desire to limit, or even cease, tests.

Both processes can address scientific validity, fair participant selection, favorable risk-benefit ratio, respect for participants, and independent review. In an attempt to guide staff as to whether their project needs IRB review or not, a performance improvement/research advisory panel (PIRAP) was formed to serve two military organizations. In this article, performance improvement and quality improvement is differentiated from research as much as possible, the composition and function of PIRAP is described, and guidelines for publishing findings that support the nature of the project are provided.

AB - A 2005 assessment of noise-induced hearing injury (NIHI) among Army audiology clinic patients seen between April 2003 and March 2004 found elevated rates of NIHI among soldiers returning from deployment. Because of study limitations, it was not possible to extrapolate the findings to the entire Army soldier population in relation to deployment status. We performed this study to determine patterns of NIHI incidence among soldiers as a function of deployment status and to determine the accuracy and completeness of provider use of NIHI-related ICD-9CM codes. These refinements to the 2005 study were made with the goal of developing a surveillance process compatible with emerging Defense Injury Surveillance processes. NIHI among soldiers diagnosed during admissions or outpatient visits from all clinics were evaluated for fiscal years 2003 through 2005. Deployment status to the Central Command Area of Operations was con-firmed by referencing medical data to personnel data from two separate personnel data systems. The refined analysis demonstrated higher postdeployment rates of NIHI consistent with the previous analysis. Additionally, vertigo and imbalance disorders were evaluated. This study demonstrates the capability for noise injury surveillance to be integrated into an overall Department of Defense injury surveillance process and identifies additional measures to enhance this analytic process with further data integration and study.

However, whether prehospital decompression is better achieved by chest tube or needle thoracostomy is unknown. We conducted this study to compare the immediate results and prolonged effectiveness of two methods of treatment for traumatic tension hemopneumothorax in a swine model. METHODS: Ten percent of calculated total blood volume was instilled into the hemithorax of spontaneously ventilating swine (n = 5 per group, 40 +/- 3 kg). A Veres needle and insufflator were used to induce tension hemopneumothorax. Animals were randomized to one of four groups: 1) needle thoracostomy with 14-gauge intravenous catheter; 2) needle thoracostomy with Cook catheter; 3) 32-F chest tube thoracostomy; or 4) no intervention (control). Serial chest x-rays were obtained to document mediastinal shift before and after treatment. Arterial blood gas values and physiologic data were recorded. Postoperatively, thoracoscopy was performed to detect possible pulmonary injury from the procedure and/or catheter kinking or clotting. RESULTS: Positive intrapleural pressure was rapidly relieved in all treated animals. Four-hour survival was 100% in the 14-gauge needle and chest tube thoracostomy groups, 60% in the Cook catheter group, and 0% in the control animals (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in survival or physiologic measurements among the treated animals (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In this animal model, needle thoracostomy using a 14-gauge or Cook catheter was as successful as chest tube thoracostomy for relieving tension hemopneumothorax.

First, the stream selection model based on current larval assessment sampling protocol significantly underestimated transforming sea lamprey abundance, transforming sea lampreys killed, and marginal costs per sea lamprey killed, compared to a protocol that included more years of data (especially for large streams). Second, larval density in streams varied significantly with Type-I habitat area, but not with total area or reach length. Third, the ratio of larval density between Type-I and Type-II habitat varied significantly among streams, and that the optimal allocation of sampling effort varied with the proportion of habitat types and variability of larval density within each habitat. Fourth, mean length varied significantly among streams and years. Last, size at metamorphosis varied more among years than within or among regions and that metamorphosis varied significantly among streams within regions. Study results indicate that: (1) the stream selection model should be used. to identify streams with potentially high residual populations of larval sea lampreys; (2) larval sampling in Type-II habitat should be initiated in all streams by increasing sampling in Type-II habitat to 50% of the sampling effort in Type-I habitat; and (3) methods should be investigated to reduce uncertainty in estimates of sea lamprey production, with emphasis on those that reduce the uncertainty associated with larval length at the end of the growing season and those used to predict metamorphosis.

JO - Journal of Great Lakes Research JF - Journal of Great Lakes Research Y1 - 2003/12/02/2003 Supplement 1 VL - 29 M3 - Article SP - 637 EP - 654 SN - 03801330 AB - The Great Lakes Fishery Commission successfully coordinated fishery management and delivered an international program of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control and assessment that facilitated the rehabilitation of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and development of a salmonid fishery in Lake Ontario during 1971 to 1999. During the 1980s and 1990s, the integrated management of sea lampreys (IMSL) strategy optimized control and assessment techniques and refined the stream selection process. The program focused primarily on the juvenile life stage (larval phase) through the application of the selective lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) to tributaries of the lake, although the addition of barriers to Lake Ontario tributaries appears to have reduced the reliance on TFM. By 1999, IMSL had eliminated sea lampreys in 20 of the 57 tributaries with historical records of production. Accordingly, the abundance of spawning phase sea lampreys showed a significant downward trend, and substantial declines in marking rates for large lake trout were observed. Targets for control were established through the lake trout rehabilitation plan, fish community objectives, and simulation models incorporating an economic injury level (ELL) approach. The EIL for sea lamprey control is the point in which more treatment is not economically justified. The updated IMSL model developed for Lake Ontario provided a tool to support trade-off analysis to estimate target levels of sea lamprey abundance relative to lake trout harvest. Comparison of model predictions and trends in spawning phase abundance revealed general agreement, but also pointed to inconsistencies that merit further investigation. The EIL of control based on the entire treatment history is 8,100 kg TFM per year, which produces a treatment residual of 4,100 adult sea lampreys. Given recent estimates of transformer production from the Niagara River, the annual contribution from untreated sources...

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 133 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 4143 EP - 4149 SN - 00223166 AB - Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in refugees is reported to be among the major medical problems worldwide. Because food rations are typically inadequate in iron, long-term reliance is a key predictor of anemia among displaced people. Comprehensive nutritional assessments of refugee children from Burma have not previously been completed. Refugee children aged 6-59 mo were studied to determine 1) the prevalences of anemia, iron deficiency (ID) and IDA and 2) the factors associated with anemia and ID. Cluster sampling in three camps and convenience sampling in two additional camps were used. Hemoglobin (Hb) levels were measured and µmol zinc protoporphyrin/mol heme were determined in 975 children. Logistic regression analyses (95% CI) determined predictors of anemia and ID. The prevalences of IDA, anemia and ID in these refugee children were 64.9, 72.0 and 85.4%, respectively. Predictors of anemia included young age (P < 0.001), food ration lasting <1 mo (P = 0.001), daily consumption of dietary iron inhibitors (P < 0.05), weight-for-height Z-score of <-2 (P < 0.05), male gender (P < 0.05) and uneducated father (P < 0.001). Predictors of ID were young age (P < 0.001) and recently reported illness (P < 0.05). Laboratory tests confirmed that anemia and ID are major health problems among these refugee children and that ID is the leading cause of anemia. A comprehensive nutrition and public health-focused approach to combating anemia and ID is essential. Following the presentation of results to policy makers, the improvement of the micronutrient content of rations has been initiated.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 85 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 662 EP - 677 SN - 00179078 AB - This paper provides the results of an in situ gammaray spectrometry intercomparison that was held from 18-21 October 1999, in Grand Junction, CO. This intercomparison was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Measurements Laboratory and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation and Indoor Air. It featured measurements of a background location and the Walker Field Calibration Pads. In this paper, the in situ gamma-ray measurements of the background location were compared to soil samples, and the in situ measurements of the Walker Field Calibration Pads were compared to corrected reference values. The results showed that 84% of the in situ gamma-ray measurements of [sup 226]Ra, [sup 232]Th, and [sup 40]K at the background location fell within 20% of the soil sample mean. Similarly, in situ gamma-ray measurements of the Walker Field Calibration Pads showed that 77% of the in situ concentrations fell within 20% of the corrected reference values.

Despite their ecological and regulatory importance, little is known about such species at the genetic level. To begin understanding cellular and genetic responses of L. plumulosus to contaminants, we isolated several of their genes and developed quantitative assays to measure the effects of water exposures to 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene and phenanthrene on gene expression. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays demonstrated that the expression of the genes for actin and a retrotransposon, hopper, was dependent on the exposure and tissue concentrations of those chemicals. Our data suggests that exposure to the explosive 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene and phenanthrene may induce movement of hopper resulting in unexpected genotoxic results.

JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 193 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 228 SN - 0041008X AB - The vesicant sulfur mustard is an alkylating agent that has the capacity to cross-link biological molecules. We are interested in identifying specific proteins that are altered upon sulfur mustard exposure. Keratins are particularly important for the structural integrity of skin, and several genetically inherited blistering diseases have been linked to mutations in keratin 5 and keratin 14. We examined whether sulfur mustard exposure alters keratin biochemistry in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes. Western blotting with specific monoclonal antibodies revealed the formation of stable high-molecular-weight “aggregates” containing keratin 14 and/or keratin 5. These aggregates begin to form within 15 min after sulfur mustard exposure. These aggregates display a complex gel electrophoresis pattern between ∼100 and ∼200 kDa. Purification and analysis of these aggregates by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of keratin 14 and keratin 5 and indicate that at least some of the aggregates are composed of keratin 14–keratin 14, keratin 14–keratin 5, or keratin 5–keratin 5 dimers. These studies demonstrate that sulfur mustard induces keratin aggregation in keratinocytes and support further investigation into the role of keratin aggregation in sulfur mustard-induced vesication.

While limited numbers of U.S. soldiers in high-risk areas use chloroquine/primaquine chemoprophylaxis to prevent malaria, control of mosquito larvae through larviciding also can be used to reduce the risk of malaria transmission. In order to estimate the cost of larviciding, accurate estimates of the spatial extent of mosquito larval habitats are necessary. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an accurate estimate of the area covered by mosquito larval habitats can be obtained using Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ (ETM+) and/or IKONOS data for the Korean test site.To estimate the area covered by larval habitats near Camp Greaves [Paekyeon-Ri, near Tongil-Chon (village)] in the ROK, an IKONOS and a Landsat 7 ETM+ image were classified using a parallelepiped classification. In a comparison with rice paddy field sites, 24 (92%) of the sites were classified correctly on the IKONOS image and 17 (65%) were classified correctly on the Landsat image. Comparing the classifications on a pixel-by-pixel basis, the agreement between the two classifications was 79%. Part of the disagreement was due to the difference in resolution of the two images. In spite of local differences, the two classifications produced similar area estimates.Although either Landsat or IKONOS could be used in Korea for a reasonable estimate of habitat area, only IKONOS can resolve small irrigation ponds. While ponds represent a small portion of the total larval habitat, they are an important source for mosquito breeding during the late rice-growing season in the ROK since they contain higher larval densities. High-resolution imagery, such as IKONOS, would be necessary for planning and implementing treatment of these smaller habitats.

The objective of this study is to make predictions concerning the persistence of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) in solid form both as individual explosive compounds and components of octol, and the resultant concentrations of explosives in water as a result of dissolution using three exploratory modeling approaches. The selection of dissolution model and rate greatly affect not only the predicted persistence of explosive compound sources but also their resulting concentrations in solution. This study identifies the wide range in possible predictions using existing information and these modeling approaches to highlight the need for further research to ensure that risk assessment, remediation and predicted fate and transport are appropriately presented and interpreted.

The major questions asked are how accurate are the models? And how do the inevitable inaccuracies in the prediction of the wave quantities influence the current predictions? The LSTF is one of a few large-scale facilities around the world designed to accurately reproduce the 2-D horizontal flow and sediment conditions in the nearshore region of a littoral coast. The measurements include all relevant wave data such as wave heights, setup variations, 2-D current distributions across the basin, and a detailed cross-shore array of measurements of the 3-D current structures. The two wave model formulations used for the comparisons are versions of the kinematic wave model, one using sinusoidal the other using non-sinusoidal wave shapes both before and after wave breaking, as wave drivers in the quasi-3-D model SHORECIRC (SC). The comparisons with the measurements are aimed at providing an overall picture of both the flow conditions and the model performance. The discussions provide insight into the mechanisms behind the complex nearshore dynamics and demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the two methods in a comprehensive comparison of available wave and current data. The comparisons also reveal that an essential requirement for a wave driver is its capability to represent the phase motion of the wave and its capability to correctly predict the phase speed of waves.

JO - Health Physics JF - Health Physics Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 85 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 567 EP - 577 SN - 00179078 AB - During long-term viewing of a continuous light source, head and eye movements affect the distribution of energy deposited in the retina. Previous studies of eye movements during a fixation task provided data used for revising the safety limits for long-term viewing of such sources. These studies have been continued to determine the effect of source brightness on the nature of fixational eye movements. Volunteers fixated for 50 s on a HeNe laser (λ = 632.8 nm) masked by a small aperture to produce a target subtending ∼0.03 mrad in the visual field. The source was attenuated to yield corneal irradiance values in the range 0.6 pW cm[sup -2] to 6 µW cm[sup -2]. Eye movements were recorded using a Dual Purkinje Image Eyetracker. The data were characterized by fixation ellipses that represent areas of the retina in which the image of the spot was located 68% of the time of each trial. Significant variation across subjects in the tightness of fixation was observed. Over the eight orders of magnitude of source brightness used in this experiment (10[sup -13] to 10[sup -6] W cm[sup -2]), no subject showed more than roughly a factor of two variation in the area of the fixation ellipse. No statistically significant trend in tightness of fixation as a function of source brightness was observed. There was no loss of ability to fixate, nor any drive to aversion, at the higher source intensities.

In this experiment, snow cover was manipulated to simulate the late development of snowpack and to induce soil freezing at sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis) stands at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The objective of this manipulation was to elucidate the effects of soil freezing on the concentrations and fluxes of soil solution H[sup +], Ca[sup 2+], Mg[sup 2+], K[sup +], and Na[sup +], as well as values of acid neutralizing capacity (ANC). Mild soil freezing events (soil temperatures never decreased below -5°C) resulted in pronounced acidification of soil solutions, driven primarily by nitrification, in the forest floor of sugar maple stands during the growing season. This mobilization of NO[sup -, sub 3] from the forest floor of maple stands was accompanied by the leaching of Ca[sup 2+] and Mg[sup 2+] in Oa horizon solutions. Responses of soil solution acid-base chemistry to soil freezing were not evident in yellow birch stands or in the Bs horizon of either vegetation type, emphasizing the importance of vegetation type and the mineral soil in determining the effects of climatic disturbance on drainage water chemistry and nutrient loss. These results suggest that models of soil biogeochemistry in temperate forest ecosystems should consider soil-freezing events when simulating the acid-base chemistry of soil solutions and the translocation of nutrient base cations between soil horizons.

JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 8 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 374 SN - 10840702 AB - Bridge management systems have become increasingly sophisticated over the past decade and provide valuable information about the structural condition of all bridges in the national database. At the same time, reliability methods have gained increasing prominence and are used to forecast life-cycle performance over many decades of structural life. Such reliability analyses need to be updated based on the results of inspections. Specifically targeted nondestructive evaluations are the preferred solution, but are not always available for every bridge. This paper examines how the visual inspection data provided from bridge management systems already in place can be used to update the reliability of a bridge. The limitations and necessary modifications to current practice are discussed. The superstructure of a Colorado highway bridge deteriorating due to corrosion is used as an example.

The most significant arboviruses causing human illness belong to genera in three viral families, Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae. These viruses represent a significant public health threat to many parts of the world, and, as evidenced by the recent introduction of the West Nile virus (WNV) to the Western Hemisphere, they can no longer be considered specific to any one country or region of the world. Like most viral diseases, there are no specific therapies for the arboviral encephalitides; therefore, effective vaccines remain the front line of defense for these diseases. With this in mind, the development of new, more effective vaccines and the appropriate animal models in which to test them become paramount. In fact, for many important arboviruses (e.g. California serogroup and St. Louis encephalitis viruses), there are currently no approved vaccines available for human use. For others, such as the alphaviruses, human vaccines are available only as Investigational New Drugs, and thus are not in widespread use. On the other hand, safe and effective vaccines against tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) have been in use for decades. New challenges in vaccine development have been met with new technologies in vaccine research. Many of the newer vaccines are now being developed by recombinant DNA technology. For example, chimeric virus vaccines have been developed using infectious clone technology for many of the arboviruses including, WNV, JEV, and TBEV. Other successful approaches have involved the use of naked DNA encoding and subsequently expressing the desired protective epitopes. Naked DNA vaccines have been used for TBEV and JEV and are currently under development for use against WNV. The development of less expensive, more authentic animal models to evaluate new vaccines against arboviral diseases will become increasingly important as these new approaches in vaccine research are realized. This article reviews the current status of vaccines, both approved for use and those in developmental stages, against the major arboviral encephalitides causing human disease. In addition, research on animal models, both past and present, for these diseases are discussed.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2003/10/02/Fall2003 Special Issue M3 - Article SP - 207 EP - 215 SN - 07490208 AB - The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) SHOALS (Scanning Hydrographic Operational Airborne Lidar Survey) program has evolved from an inlets R&D effort to a fully operational and constantly developing airborne coastal mapping initiative. The data collected in eight years of SHOALS survey operations have improved understanding of the coastal processes that drive shoreline change at USACE navigation and shore protection projects. The knowledge and experience gained from eight years of SHOALS operations have paved the way for a generational advancement in airborne coastal mapping by identifying complementary data sets to SHOALS bathymetry and by pinpointing aspects of survey planning, data collection, and data processing that could be automated for a more easily operated system. The result is the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system. CHARTS is an integrated bathymetric/ topographic/digital imagery system currently under development for the US Naval Oceanographic Office. A bathymetric lidar component operates at a rate of 1,000 Hz, while a topographic lidar component operates at 10,000 Hz. Digital imagery will be collected using a georeferenced camera that can provide a visual backdrop for the soundings and elevations collected by the other components. CHARTS will easily deploy from most photogrammetric aircraft of opportunity and will incorporate highly automated algorithms based on current SHOALS processing methodology. CHARTS will be commercially available as SHOALS-1000 following field-testing in August 2003. System flight parameters and sensor suite are ideal for further integration with additional sensors such as a hyperspectral imager. SHOALS-1000 will initiate a new era of complete coastal mapping from an airborne platform.

The model fits continuous growth-death kinetics for Staphylococcus aureus in intermediate moisture bread in various conditions of water activity, pH, and temperature. Growth rates evaluated using the quasi-chemical model are compared with values obtained with the Gompertz model. Kinetics data obtained with the quasi-chemical model are integrated with a probabilistic approach to estimate the boundary between growth and no-growth conditions. Continuous modeling of microbial growth/death kinetics in actual foods advances predictive modeling that conventionally separates growth and death models.

The effect of pH, sulfate, and chloride ion on adsorption was also investigated. The biosorbent loaded with Cr(Vl) was regenerated using 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. A comparison of the results of the present investigation with those reported in the literature showed that chitosan coated on alumina exhibits greater adsorption capacity for chromium(Vl). Further, experimental equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, and values of the parameters of the isotherms are reported. The ultimate capacity obtained from the Langmuir model is 153.85 mg/g chitosan.

JO - Biotechnology Letters JF - Biotechnology Letters Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 25 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 1671 EP - 1675 SN - 01415492 AB - A combinatorial random peptide display library expressed in E. coli was employed to identify short, linear peptide sequences that showed affinity for ricin and could be used as reagents for detection and identification of ricin. One peptide, P3, from a collection of four short peptides showed specific binding to ricin. The kinetic analysis of this peptide binding to the ricin showed lower equilibrium binding constants for the peptide P3 than monoclonal antibody. This is attributed due to both slower association and faster dissociation rates for the peptide P3. The random ricin peptide P3 binds to ricin with a KD of 1 μM versus the antibody's KD of 14 nM. This particular peptide memitope P3 against ricin showed specific binding to ricin without any significant cross-reactivity against other proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme and natural bacterial toxins such as Staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B. The results provided proof-of-principal that peptide memitopes are another choice of reagents due to ease in production to be used for the detection of highly toxic bio-threat or biowarfare agents such as ricin.

JO - Wetlands JF - Wetlands Y1 - 2003/09// VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 475 EP - 493 SN - 02775212 AB - The 2001 U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) held that isolated intrastate non-navigable waters could not be protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA) based on the presence of migratory birds. SWANCC represented a major reinterpretation of the CWA by re-emphasizing the importance of navigability in the definition of "waters of the United States" protected by the statute. The decision also implied that isolated waters might be "waters of the United States" where they had a "significant nexus" to navigable waters. Understanding the significance of SWANCC requires a historical look at the geographic scope of federal laws and regulations protecting surface waters. The concept of navigability had been prominent in the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, but the principal implementation focus for the CWA after its enactment in 1972 and prior to SWANCC had been on the hydrologic cycle and the relevance of links to interstate commerce for determining what waters were protected under the CWA. In upcoming years and months, the geographic jurisdiction of the CWA will continue to be debated in the courts, within Federal agencies, and by the public. Aquatic resource science will play a key role in helping ensure that the CWA is implemented in a scientifically defensible manner, consistent with SWANCC. One area in need of particular emphasis is additional research on the ways in which isolated waters help ensure the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of navigable waters and their tributaries. It is this question--the "significant nexus" between an intrastate non-navigable isolated water and the rest of the aquatic ecosystem--that will likely determine whether the water will be protected by the CWA.

Phenomena discovered and procedures developed in behavioral laboratories are being applied on a wide scale in commercial, industrial, and governmental settings. In behavioral toxicology, this transfer of technology has occurred in an ad hoc manner, albeit with a degree of sophistication. The development of technology transfer in other disciplines is instructive. A symposium at the May 2001 meeting of the Behavioral Toxicology Society examined this issue, and some participants provide their contributions here. Henry Pennypacker examines the issue of whether behavioral procedures can meet the demanding standards required to transfer technology to commercial endeavors and concludes that, under some conditions, they can. He notes that the shortage of well-developed and transferred behavioral technologies results from a lack of understanding of the process of technology transfer on the part of behavior analysts. In the field of engineering, the results of basic research are transformed to candidate technologies that meet standardized criteria with respect to three properties: quantification, repetition, and verification. Kent Anger describes the challenging steps in the trail from the laboratory to wide-scale application—steps that are essential for the scaling up of any behavioral technique. Finally, Paul Mele describes the legal background to patenting and copyrighting ideas, a process that behaviorists have rarely used. Together, these topics identify the requirements and warn of the challenges and intricacies that await those who seek to transfer behavioral technology beyond the laboratory.

Microcosms containing a basal medium and the mixed culture were amended with ethanol, propylene glycol (PG), butyrate or hydrogen gas as the electron donor and a mixture of TNT (50 μM), RDX (25 μM), and HMX (8 μM). After 29 days TNT and RDX were completely transformed to unidentified endproducts in the bottles amended with ethanol, hydrogen, or PG, while 53%, 40%, and 22% of the HMX was transformed, respectively. There was no loss of RDX or HMX in the electron donor unamended control bottles. The ethanol and PG were transformed to near stoichiometric amounts of acetate and propionate, suggesting the immediate electron donor supporting the transformation of the explosives was the H2 evolved during the metabolism of the parent substrate. Our findings suggest that the addition of H2 or electron donors that produce H2 may be a useful strategy for enhancing the anaerobic biodegradation of explosives in contaminated groundwater and soils.

The objective of this study was to quantify wind erosion rates for typical conditions at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, CA, U.S.A. Five Big Spring Number Eight (BSNE) sampler stations were installed at each of five sites. Each BSNE station consisted of five BSNE samplers with the lowest sampler at 0·05 m and the highest sampler at 1·0 m above the soil surface. Once a month, sediment was collected from the samplers for analysis. Occurrence of saltating soil aggregates was recorded every hour using Sensits, one at each site. The site with the most erosion had a sediment discharge of 311 kg m−1 over a period of 17 months. Other sites eroded much less because of significant rock cover or the presence of a crust. Hourly sediment discharge was estimated combining hourly Sensit count and monthly sediment discharge measured using BSNE samplers. More simultaneously measured data are needed to better characterize the relationship between these two and reconstruct a detailed time-series of wind erosion. This measured time-series can then be used for comparison with simulation results from process-based wind erosion models such as the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS), once it has been adapted to the unique aspects of military lands.

Two types of breakwaters that have been deployed since 1988, are reviewed here. Three Prefabricated Erosion Prevention (P.E.P.) Reefs™ have been constructed and monitored to assess performance at three sites on the lower central east coast of Florida, two in Palm Beach County and one in Indian River County. Three Beachsaver Reefs™ have been installed along the New Jersey Coast, two in Cape May County and one in Monmouth County. Both types of reef breakwaters have similar dimensions and are triangular in cross-section. The objective of these relatively low cost reef structures were to reduce wave heights, maintain a stable shoreline position, retain the existing volume of sand on the beach and protect the beach from storm waves. All six projects have been monitored for at least two years after installation. The monitoring evaluated the change in the position of a project defined shoreline, the volume of sand gained or lost behind the breakwater as well as control areas adjacent to the reef installation, settlement of the structure, scour around the base of the units and the amount of wave attenuation afforded by the structure. The installation configurations differ along with coastal morphology, underlying geology, coastal processes and placement relative to other shore protection structures. All of the installations measured scour at the landward side of the reef. This scour along with turbulence induced by waves interacting with the return flow deflected upward by the reef shape resulted in settlement of the reef over a two to six month period after installation. The settlement was mitigated by the use of a geotextile mattress and filter cloth on two of the projects. With and without settlement of the reef, the wave transmission was around 10% for all of the installations. The three Florida projects placed the P.E.P. Reef some distance off the beach in a shore parallel configuration. Two of the projects had a single solid reef line resulting in structure induced scour and erosion of the beach. The third placement was modified to a staggered inshore and offshore placement with gaps between the segments. All of the projects measured erosion or less accretion behind the reef relative to the control areas. The three New Jersey projects placed the Beachsaver Reef adjacent to groins, with one project semi-enclosed adjacent to an inlet terminal groin and the other two completely across the seaward end of groin compartments, forming a perched beach. Beach fills were also placed as part of the initial installation on two of the projects. The two locations that were completely enclosed in groin compartments retained the most sand.

Long-term (34 days) and short-term (13 and 25 hours) velocity measurements were made with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers. Tide measurements were made at five locations in Barnegat Bay. Wave measurements were collected for one year and wind measurements were available for the duration of the study. From the data it was found that tidal prism and bay tide amplitudes increased as the inlet system became more efficient with the new south jetty in place. It was found that flood predominance exists for spring tide conditions and ebb predominance can exist for some neap tides. In addition, over a given tidal cycle, locally flood-dominant and ebb-dominant channels exist. Overall the inlet is flood dominant in terms of current and sediment transport.

Unfortunately, many sites have complications that challenge a direct application of MARSSIM. Example complications include Record of Decision (ROD) requirements that are not MARSSIM-friendly, the potential for subsurface contamination, and incomplete characterization information. These types of complications are typically the rule, rather than the exception, for sites undergoing radiologically-driven remediation and closure. One such site is the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) Linde site in Tonawanda, New York. Cleanup of the site is currently underway. The Linde site presented a number of challenges to designing and implementing a closure strategy consistent with MARSSIM. This paper discusses some of the closure issues confronted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District at the Linde site and describes how MARSSIM protocols were adapted to address these issues.

Experiments assessed performance for design hydraulic loadings and detention times and for two seasons (summer and winter). DAF clarification achieved about 2 log oocyst removal for both seasons either with or without recycle of FBW. Plate settling in the summer achieved 1.8–1.9 log oocyst removal with no effects from recycle of FBW. Plate settling performance was poorer in the winter at about 1 log oocyst removal without recycle, and decreased slightly with recycle of FBW. No effects were found from recycle of FBW on DAF and filtration performance for turbidity and particle counts (2–15 μm). There were no or minor effects for the same parameters on plate settling performance and no effects on filter performance. For both treatment plants, no oocysts were found in the dual media filter effluent either with or without recycle of FBW.

The “Dual-Frequency Identification Sonar” (DIDSON) is a high-definition imaging sonar that obtains near-video quality images for the identification of objects underwater. Developed originally for the U.S. Navy by the University of Washington''s Applied Physics Laboratory, it bridges the gap between existing fisheries-assessment sonar and optical systems. The images within 12 m of this acoustic camera are sufficiently clear such that fish can be observed undulating as they swim and their orientation ascertained in otherwise zero-visibility water. In the 1.8 MHz high-frequency mode, this system 96 beams over a 29° field-of-view. The high resolution and fast frame rate provide target visualization in real time. The DIDSON can be used where conventional underwater cameras would be limited by low light levels and high turbidity.

Before the tests, heat resistances of a Clostridium sporogenes (PA 3679) spore crop were determined in neutral phosphate buffer and macaroni and cheese product. Trays of macaroni and cheese products were subjected to 3 processing levels: target process (F0= 2.4), under target process (F0= 1.2), and over target process (F0= 4.8). The inoculated packs were evaluated by count-reduction method and end-point method. The microbial results showed that microbial destruction resulting from MCWC heating technology matched the calculated degree of sterilization (F0 value). This study suggests that the MCWC heating technology has potential in sterilizing packaged foods.

Taste was found to be the most important factor for both consumer groups, followed by the benefit to be achieved, the source of the benefit claim, required dosage, mode of consumption, and product type (natural compared with synthetic). Interest among the military was greatest for products that increased muscle mass, whereas interest among civilians was greatest for products that improved thinking. For both groups, required frequency of consumption greater than 3 times a day had a negative influence on probable use, whereas consumption in a capsule form was viewed most desirable.

The model analyzes multiple endmember spectral mixtures with a spectral library of snow, vegetation, rock, and soil. We derive snow spectral endmembers of varying grain size from a radiative transfer model; spectra for vegetation, rock, and soil were collected in the field and laboratory. For three AVIRIS images of Mammoth Mountain, California that span common snow conditions for winter through spring, we validate the estimates of snow-covered area with fine-resolution aerial photographs and validate the estimates of grain size with stereological analysis of snow samples collected within 2 h of the AVIRIS overpasses. The RMS error for snow-covered area retrieved from AVIRIS for the combined set of three images was 4%. The RMS error for snow grain size retrieved from a 3×3 window of AVIRIS data for the combined set of three images is 48 μm, and the RMS error for reflectance integrated over the solar spectrum and over all hemispherical reflectance angles is 0.018.

Experiments were conducted by using a glassy carbon (zero porosity) coated graphite cylinder as the cathode and a platinum wire as the anode. All experiments were conducted under dissolved oxygen concentration of less than 1.5 mg/L. Initially, experiments simulating batch conditions were conducted to obtain the optimum operating conditions for the reactor. During this batch-mode study, the effects of various parameters such as applied current, electrolyte concentration, and type of electrolyte on the reduction of DNT were evaluated. Results obtained showed that the rates of reduction of DNT increased with an increase in current or concentration of electrolyte. Based on the results obtained from the batch simulation experiments, continuous flow experiments were conducted at three different currents. The ionic strength of the feed solution was maintained at 0.027 M. A current of 200 mA was found to provide a stable reduction of DNT at the 80% level for a period of 14 days after which reactor cleaning is necessary for removal of solids that were formed within the reactor. End products determined for the continuous flow experiments showed 100% molar balance conversion.

From previous investigations, a relationship between the biological utilization of ethanol as co-substrate for the reduction of TNT under anaerobic conditions was proposed using an anaerobic fluidized-bed reactor (AFBR). In this study, the theoretical co-substrate requirement for reduction of TNT to TAT was further investigated through the systematic lowering of the ethanol loading to the reactor. Near complete reduction to TAT was observed up to a critical ethanol loading point, as well as the production of methane from the limited excess available ethanol. Once ethanol deficient loading conditions were established, the increased presence of incompletely reduced degradation intermediates, such as 2,4-diamino-6-nitrotoluene, and even TNT, was observed. The cessation of methanogenesis confirmed that no excess ethanol was available. Degradation of the TAT intermediate in the reactor effluent was investigated using two second-stage reactors under oxidizing conditions. The first was an aerobic activated sludge reactor, and the second was a denitrifying fluidized-bed reactor (DenFBR). The aerobic reactor was successful in lowering the chemical oxygen demand (COD), but complete removal of TAT was not accomplished. Because of TAT polymerization and auto-oxidation under aerobic conditions, it was difficult to confirm to what extent of TAT removal was biological. In the DenFBR, incompletely reduced TNT intermediates were not successfully degraded, but strong evidence existed for the degradation of TAT. This is the first known report of second stage degradation of TAT under denitrifying conditions.

The mass transfer model developed to determine the mass transfer coefficients advances the McWhirter and Hutter (A.I.Ch.E. J. 35(9) (1989) 1527) model by tracking oxygen and nitrogen transfer into and out of the bubbles as they rise to the water surface. The resulting vertical profiles of the liquid-phase equilibrium concentration inside the bubble and the gas-phase oxygen composition give insight into how the bubble–water concentration gradient changes over depth. The surface mass transfer coefficient, kLsas, is 59–85% of the bubble mass transfer coefficient, kLab, and the driving concentration difference is smaller for surface transfer. Surface transfer and bubble transfer both contribute significantly to oxygen transfer; however, bubble transfer is the primary mode of oxygen transfer for this system at the air flow rates used. Further experiments demonstrate that most of the surface transfer occurs above the bubble plume.

Guinea pigs, previously implanted with cortical electrodes for EEG recording, were pretreated with pyridostigmine bromide (0.026 mg/kg im) 30 min prior to challenge with 2× LD50 dose (sc) of a given nerve agent; in a separate experiment, animals were challenged with 5× LD50 sc of soman. One minute after agent challenge the animals were treated im with 2 mg/kg atropine SO4 admixed with 25 mg/kg 2-PAM Cl. Five minutes after the start of EEG seizures, animals were treated im with different doses of anticholinergics or benzodiazepines and observed for seizure termination. The time to seizure onset, the time to seizure termination, and 24-h lethality were recorded. The anticonvulsant ED50 of each drug for termination of seizures induced by each agent was calculated and compared. Brain tissue from animals that survived 24 h was examined for pathology. All drugs were capable of terminating seizure activity, with midazolam and trihexyphenidyl being significantly more potent than the other drugs, and midazolam being more rapid in controlling seizure than atropine, trihexyphenidyl, or diazepam against each agent. Seizures induced by sarin or VX required lower doses of all the test anticonvulsants. The dose of a given drug that was an effective anticonvulsant against a 2× LD50 challenge of soman was equally effective against seizures induced by a 5× LD50 challenge. All nerve agents were capable of producing neuropathology. Seizure control was strongly associated with protection against acute lethality and brain pathology.

Equations were developed as a function of temperature, moisture, and ash, and compared to literature equations. The dielectric constant decreased with ash content and increased with moisture content. It increased instead of decreasing with temperature. The dielectric loss factor increased with moisture content for moisture contents lower than 60.7%, then decreased for higher moisture contents. Ash content and temperature increased dielectric loss factor. Frozen samples had low dielectric activity that was increased by ash content above -20 to -10 °C.

Adding glycerol to the dough or equilibrating the bread over saturated salt solutions adjusted the Aw of the bread. Growth kinetics data, plotted as enumerated colony counts versus incubation time, were fitted using the logistic function to determine maximum growth rates. Similar maximum growth rates resulted, irrespective of the method used to adjust Aw. Extrapolation of growth rate-Aw results predicts the Aw corresponding to a zero growth rate.

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid''s lupine), a threatened species and the primary larval host plant of the endangered Icaricia icarioides fenderi (Fender''s blue butterfly), was historically a panmictic metapopulation. Habitat fragmentation may be causing many of the Kincaid''s lupine colonies to display typical symptoms of inbreeding depression, such as low seed production. Hand outcrosses on bagged inflorescences significantly increased seed set and seed fitness compared to open pollination and within-colony pollen treatments. Natural seed set was positively correlated with an increase in the number of Kincaid''s lupine patches, suggesting that population size limits seed set. An increase in fruit set was positively correlated with Kincaid''s lupine raceme number, raceme density, and the number of lupine patches, demonstrating that floral display and population size increase pollinator service. Restoration of Kincaid''s lupine populations should consider measures that lessen the effects of inbreeding depression, especially in small, isolated populations, for the long-term persistence of the species.

Equations were developed as a function of temperature, moisture, water activity, and ash, and compared to literature equations. Unexpected results were: as the water activity decreased or ash increased, the dielectric constant increased with temperature, and dielectric loss factor of reduced moisture samples was determined by moisture not ash. It is theorized that the effect of temperature on dielectric constant is a function of the ratio of bound to free water. Glycerol did not affect the dielectric properties, while lactic acid decreases them by promoting water loss during protein denaturation.

Chemical marker M-1 was used to evaluate heating uniformity in 20% whey protein gels as a model food, and macaroni and cheese was processed to assess the influence of RF process on product quality. With the RF system, a lethality ( F0= 10 min) was achieved in both model food and macaroni and cheese within 30 min with relative uniform heating, compared to a 90 min conventional retort process that delivered a similar lethality.

This four-component climatology-interactive model includes a Poisson probability law for number of ship arrivals, a Bernoulli probability law for grounding in a single random ship arrival, an estimation of the probability parameter in the Bernoulli law from model tests, and a determination of recurrence intervals or return periods. A remote-controlled model of a C9 containership was used to evaluate the navigability of existing and proposed harbor and entrance-channel configurations for a range of environmental conditions in a three-dimensional physical model of Barbers Point Harbor, Oahu, HI.

A chief criticism is that model predictions are compared only to discharge data. The physically based, hydrologic model CASC2D is reformulated such that soil moistures and fluxes can be computed using Richards' equation. The gridded surface subsurface hydrologic analysis (GSSHA) model is calibrated and verified against outlet discharge measurements during the growing season. The verified model is used to simulate an extended period during which measurements of soil moisture are available. Though soil moisture data are not used in the calibration and verification efforts, the model reproduces both the trends and the magnitude of soil moisture during the growing season. With additional formulation enhancements, soil moistures during the nongrowing season are also reproduced within a root-mean-square error of 0.1. However, more work is needed to understand the underprediction of runoff during the nongrowing season.

The CN2 model is a semi-empirical algorithm developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to provide realistic values for the refractive index structure parameter over land given two vertical levels of conventional wind speed, temperature, and humidity data as input. The CN2 model is based on the structure function formulations of Tatarski. Equations for the real index of refraction are expressed in terms of temperature, pressure, and moisture (preferably the conserved elements potential temperature and specific humidity). Calculations of micrometeorological profile structure are carried out via Monin–Obukhov theory for the surface layer. Model results can be derived for unstable, stable, and near-neutral atmospheric conditions. The CN2 model algorithm is validated in comparison to optical scintillometer data collected at 2 m above ground level over a 450 m path. The paper reported here contains technical and user’s guide information on the CN2 model.

JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 60 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 287 SN - 01697722 AB - In-situ bio-remediation is a viable cleanup alternative for aquifers contaminated by hydrocarbons such as BTEX. Transport models of varying complexity and capabilities are used to quantify their degradation. A model that has gained wide acceptance in applications is BIOPLUME II, which assumes that oxygen-limited biodegradation takes place as an instantaneous reaction. In this work we have employed theoretical analysis, using non-dimensional variables, and numerical modelling to establish a quantitative criterion demarcating the range of validity of the instantaneous reaction approximation against biodegradation kinetics. Oxygen was the limiting species and sorption was ignored. This criterion relates 〈Da〉∣o, the Dahmko¨hler number at oxygen depletion, to Oo*, the ratio of initial to input oxygen concentration, 〈Da〉∣o≥0.7(Oo*)2+0.1Oo*+1.8. The derived 〈Da〉∣o reflects the intrinsic characteristics of the physical transport and of the biochemical reaction, including the effect of biomass density. Relative availability of oxygen and hydrocarbons exerts a small influence on results. Theory, verified and refined via numerical simulations, showed that significant deviations of instantaneous reactions from kinetics are to be expected in the space–time region s 0.05). Protein solubility was lowest at medium aw at 49°C (p < 0.05), while at 25°C low aw protected protein solubility better than other low or high aw values.

Two unidirectional, long-crested irregular wave conditions were examined, one resulted in predominantly spilling breakers and one in plunging breakers. Waves and currents, and sediment concentrations were measured at 20 and 16 Hz, respectively, at various longshore and cross-shore locations and throughout the water column. Both currents and sediment concentrations exhibit great temporal and spatial variations in the surf zone. The variation patterns, however, of the longshore current, cross-shore current, and sediment concentration are substantially different. Caution should be exercised when averaging these parameters over time and space.For the two wave cases examined, the temporal variations of longshore current, including those at principal incident-wave frequencies, were relatively small across most of the surf zone. Over 70% of the variations are within approximately ±60% of the mean value. The wave motion, with a strong peak at principal incident-wave frequencies, dominated the temporal variations of cross-shore current. Temporal variations of suspended sediment concentration under the irregular waves were episodic, characterized by occasional large values induced by suspension events or due to horizontal advection. The variance of the concentration at the peak incident-wave frequency was not significant except very near the bed.Time-averaged longshore-current profiles over the predominantly rippled sand bed were logarithmic in shape below the wave trough. Depth-averaged longshore current (excluding the portion of water column above wave trough) matched well with the current measured at an elevation of 1/3 of the water depth from the bed. Time-averaged cross-shore current profiles were characterized by an onshore mass flux near the surface, and a balancing offshore flow below the wave-trough level (undertow). Sediment concentration decreased very rapidly upward through the water column across most of the surf zone except at the plunging breaker line where relatively homogeneous concentration was measured throughout much of the water column above 4 cm from the bed. Depth-averaged sediment concentration over the range from 1 cm above the bed to the bottom of wave trough roughly equaled the concentration measured at an elevation from the bed equal to 20% of the still-water depth.A reasonable estimate of the time-averaged longshore sediment flux was obtained from the product of time-averaged profiles of longshore current and sediment concentration. Accurate estimates of time-averaged cross-shore sediment flux, however, could not be obtained from the product of time-averaged current and concentration.

Anesthetized rats received either a 20% total body surface area (TBSA) full thickness scald or a sham burn. After a 5 h recovery period, half of the animals in the burn or sham burn groups were exposed to cooled western bark (fir and pine) smoke for 16.25 min. The remaining rats in each group breathed room air. At 1, 12, 24, 48 and 96 h after exposure to the smoke, five rats from each of the four groups were euthanatized and lungs were lavaged by infusing three 5 ml aliquots of normal saline for evaluation of airway cellular content and lung wet to dry weight ratios to estimate lung water content. A second series of five rats/group per time point were euthanatized at the above times and lung, liver, kidney and heart were removed for evaluation of tissue antioxidant enzyme activities and for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentrations, as well as for lung histology. Smoke exposure resulted in average plasma carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) of 19±2% in the two smoke exposed groups and produced areas of erosion of the tracheal surface, resulting in loss of epithelium and exposed basement membrane. Lung water content was not significantly different among the four groups during the 96-h experimental period. Lung TBARS levels were 2–3-fold higher at 12 h in smoke exposed rats compared with controls. These levels peaked at 24 h and remained significantly elevated at 48 h compared to controls. TBARS were also elevated in liver, but not in heart or kidney in response to burn or combined injury. Minor effects on lung antioxidant enzyme activities were observed after smoke inhalation. These data suggest that smoke inhalation, independent of burn injury, induces an oxidant stress that persists for at least the first 48 h after smoke exposure.

The observed leaf damage to H. verticillata stems was highly correlated with the total number of immature H. pakistanae in H. verticillata tissue at the time of harvest (P<0.001, R2>0.80). Increasing levels of insect herbivory significantly impacted biomass and growth morphology of H. verticillata. Relative to control tanks, plants under intermediate or high levels of herbivory produced progressively less biomass. Insect herbivory also significantly impacted investment of energy in sexual and asexual reproduction. Plants under an intermediate or high level of herbivory produced fewer than 15% of the number of pistillate flowers produced by plants in control tanks. Furthermore, plants subject to high insect herbivory produced fewer and smaller tubers than control tanks. Finally, herbivory had a strong impact on the photosynthetic potential of stems. With 10–30% leaf damage, the maximum rate of light-saturated photosynthesis was reduced 30–40% relative to undamaged controls. Total daily photosynthetic production in these stems was estimated to balance, just barely, the daily respiratory needs of stems. Photosynthetic rate was reduced by about 60% in stems showing 70–90% leaf damage. This level of photosynthetic reduction would make continued survival of the plants unlikely since they would be unable to meet daily respiratory demands.

The inadequate disposal practices for TCE have created numerous TCE-contaminated superfund sites. The most commonly employed practice for remediating TCE-contaminated sites is to purge the contaminant from the source and trap it onto an adsorbent which is disposed of in a landfill or by incineration. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of Burkholderia cepacia strain G4 (G4) to regenerate used sorbents by degrading TCE from the sorbent directly or indirectly. The results of this investigation showed that G4 was capable of reducing TCE attached to PM-100 clay but at significantly reduced rate due to the slow desorption rate. Conversely, it was shown that G4 was capable of degrading TCE dissolved in n-hexadecane at the same rate as systems without n-hexadecane present. The reduction in TCE degradation when the TCE is attached to the PM-100 clay could be overcome by solvent rinsing the TCE from the clay with subsequent removal of the TCE from the n-hexadecane by G4.

T1 - Reduction of suspended solids following hydroclassification of metal-contaminated soils JO - Journal of Hazardous Materials JF - Journal of Hazardous Materials Y1 - 2002/05/03/ VL - 92 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 63 SN - 03043894 AB - Remediation of metals-contaminated soil typically uses solidification/stabilization and “dig and haul”. Soil washing and physical separation have been applied to a much lesser extent to reduce soil volumes requiring aggressive treatment and to improve performance of follow-up treatments. In earlier work [J. Hazard. Mater. 66 (1999) 15], we used a simple, vertical-column hydroclassifier, to separate four soils contaminated with heavy metals, defining a “best case” performance for larger-scale (minerals processing) equipment. Such processes, using water-based slurries, generate substantial volumes of water with suspended solids. These typically contain disproportionately high concentrations of heavy metals. Here, we performed an initial screening of settling, coagulation, and centrifugation for reducing suspended solids, and thus suspended metals from soil slurries following processing. The four soils, previously hydroclassified, were sieved to <600 μm, slurried with a 4:1 weight ratio of water, and allowed to settle. Slurry samples were collected at settling times of 0, 0.0833, 1, 5, and 22–24 h. Coagulant (alum) addition and centrifugation were investigated. The slurries were filtered, digested, and analyzed by atomic absorption for lead and chromium content. Two soil slurries clarified in <5 min. In all four cases, 90% of solids and metals settled within 5 h. However, completion may require up to 24 h, or other intervention, i.e. coagulants. The metal concentration in the residual suspended solids increased with settling time, implying an enrichment of metals in finer, suspended particles. Metals dissolved in the slurry water ranged from 3 to 5 mg/l for chromium and lead. This screening study provides guidance for water treatment requirements and treatability studies for the integration of hydroclassification and solids removal.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 14 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 487 EP - 501 SN - 08958378 AB - One hallmark of phosgene inhalation toxicity is the latent formation of life-threatening, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of phosgene inhalation on respiratory dynamics over 12 h. CD-1 male mice, 25-30 g, were exposed to 32 mg/m[sup 3] (8 ppm) phosgene for 20 min (640 mg min/m[sup 3]) followed by a 5-min air washout. A similar group of mice was exposed to room air for 25 min. After exposure, conscious mice were placed unrestrained in a whole-body plethysmograph to determine breathing frequency (f), inspiration (Ti) and expiration (Te) times, tidal volume (TV), minute ventilation (MV), end inspiratory pause (EIP), end expiratory (EEP) pause, peak inspiratory flows (PIF), peak expiratory flows (PEF), and a measure of bronchoconstriction (Penh). All parameters were evaluated every 15 min for 12 h. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein concentration and lung wet/dry weight ratios (W/D) were also determined at 1, 4, 8, and 12 h. A treatment × time repeated-measures two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences between air and phosgene for EEP, EIP, PEF, PIF, TV, and MV, p ≤ .05, across 12 h. Phosgene-exposed mice had a significantly longer mean Ti, p ≤ .05, compared with air-exposed mice over time. Mice exposed to phosgene showed marked increases (approximately double) in Penh across all time points, beginning at 5 h, when compared with air-exposed mice, p ≤ .05. BALF protein, an indicator of air/blood barrier integrity, and W/D were significantly higher, 10- to 12-fold, in phosgene-exposed than in air-exposed mice 4-12 h after exposure, p ≤ .001 and p ≤ .05, respectively. These results indicate that exposure to phosgene causes early bronchoconstriction, a temporal obstructivelike injury pattern, and disruption of mechanical rhythm largely regulated by the progressive production of pulmonary edema on airway flow. Potential therapeutic intervention may include compounds that produce bronchodilation and mechanical ventilation support if warranted.

The plasmid encodes a type III secretion system that functions to translocate Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the host cytosol. Within the host cell, the Yops act to inhibit phagocytosis and induce apoptosis. One of the plasmid-encoded proteins, virulence antigen (V), is a major protective immunogen that is involved in Yop translocation. Yersinia pestis, like the entericYersinia sppwas both resistant to phagocytosis by and cytotoxic for J774.A1, a murine macrophage cell line. Both of these activities were dependent on culture of the bacteria at 37°C for 1.5–2 h before infection. However, extending the preculture period at 37°C to 24 h, which induced formation of a capsule, completely blocked cytotoxicity. Treating the bacteria with either rabbit polyclonal anti-V antibodies (R anti-V) or monoclonal antibody (MAb) 7.3, antibodies specific for V and protective against plague in vivo, protected J774.A1 cells from Y. pestis -induced cell death and also reversed the inhibition of phagocytosis. Whereas protection against cell cytotoxicity was afforded by the F(ab′)2 portion of R anti-V, the ability of anti-V to induce uptake of Y. pestis appeared to be dependent on the Fc portion of the Ab. The protective epitope(s) recognized by R anti-V was contained in the central region of Y. pestis V (aa 135–275) and were partially cross reactive with Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica serotype 08 V antigens.

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2002/04// VL - 67 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1092 EP - 1096 SN - 00221147 AB - Storage stability of standard white bread (SWB) and Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) breads were studied in terms of texture firming, amylopectin recrystallization, and water relations. SWB showed a more rapid increase in firmness during storage mainly due to the loss of moisture to the crust and surrounding environment. The MRE, a long shelf-life military bread, firmed much slower due to the moisture loss inhibition (hermetic pouch) and plasticization (by formulation). This work confirmed previous findings that in some cases, firming of a bread can be strongly influenced by factors other than amylopectin crystallization. This is possible through controlling changes in the amorphous domains earlier described from thermomechanical studies.

A multi-class model for aggregation processes is combined with a one-dimensional, unsteady, multi-class sediment transport model to calculate the deposition rate for two flume experiments—one with no recirculation of a medium-cohesion sediment, and the other in which a high-cohesion sediment was recirculated by pumping. The results show that while aggregation processes had a moderate effect on the rate of deposition of medium-cohesion sediment, they dominated high-cohesion sediment deposition. The results also suggest that multi-class fine sediment aggregation-plus-deposition calculations will produce more realistic results than single-class calculations in estuaries where sediment exhibits a high degree of cohesion and variability in flow-induced shearing.

Lett. 162 (1998) 227–233]. However, the contributions of tetrapyrrole porphyrin ring in these hemin–iron sources as well as inorganic iron for the growth of this organism have not been determined. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of porphyrins, host iron-binding proteins, and various inorganic iron sources on the growth of hemin–iron depleted P. intermedia. Protoporphyrin IX and protoporphyrin IX-zinc, either in the presence or absence of supplemented ferrous or ferric iron, promoted the growth of P. intermedia at a rate that was comparable to that of the hemin control. On the other hand, neither the host iron proteins, transferrin and lactoferrin, nor the inorganic iron sources which included ferrous chloride, ferric chloride, ferric citrate, ferric nitrate, and ferric ammonium citrate at concentrations up to 200 μM stimulated the growth of hemin–iron-restricted P. intermedia. The results suggest that P. intermedia only use iron in a specific form and that the porphyrin-ring structure is essential for the growth of P. intermedia as in the case of other related organisms.

Many studies have been performed on different types of armor layers, but there is no generalized design guidance available on CORE-LOC® armor layer performance with respect to wave runup and transmission. An experimental study was performed to investigate the runup and transmission response of a CORE-LOC® armor layer. Wave runup and transmitted wave heights were measured for a wide range of wave, water level, and structure conditions in order to develop predictive tools for CORE-LOC® layer response. A new empirical model to predict runup levels was developed based on an existing model for rock revetments. Further, an analysis of transmission data was conducted to give insight and guidance for design purposes. Reflection coefficients were also analyzed.

Brood parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds ( Molothrus ater) reduces the reproductive success of two endangered bird species at Fort Hood, Texas. A successful management program has focused on trapping cowbirds at feeding locations, grassland areas almost always associated with the presence of cattle. To enhance the efficacy of this effort, we developed an individual-based model that predicted visitation rates by cowbirds to all potential feeding locations at Fort Hood and the surrounding landscape. Utilizing GRASS-GIS and SWARM, the model incorporated the spatial arrangement of habitats, daily movements of cattle, and daily movements of cowbirds from their breeding sites to feeding locations. We simulated four types of movements by cow-birds as they searched for cattle: 1) random walk, 2) direct return to previous locations (i.e., memory), 3) return to previous locations with en route assessment (i.e., memory with limited perception of the current state of the system), and 4) omniscience. Straight-line distances between breeding and feeding locations for cowbirds that used the memory-with-perception rule were similar to independent telemetry results, and total search distances for this movement type approached those of omniscience. Both movement distance measures were inversely related to perception distance. Maps of cowbird visits to feeding areas differed among movement rules but were not strongly affected by the density of breeding cow-birds. Maps also identified locations where trapping efforts could reduce parasitism within specific areas known to support endangered species. While it seems plausible that cowbirds are able to remember foraging locations and to perceive their surroundings as they travel, additional studies are needed to document their cognitive abilities. By simulating movements of individual cowbirds across a dynamic landscape, model results may help to strengthen ongoing cowbird control efforts.

Adhesion performance of the modified SPI on fiberboard was studied. The Water-soluble mass of the modified SPI adhesives was examined following modified ASTM D5570. The SDS-modified SPI containing 91% protein had a water-soluble mass of 1.7%. To be considered a water-resistant adhesive, the water-soluble mass of adhesive should be less than 2%. The wet shear strength test showed 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard, indicating that the modified SPI has good water resistance. The effect of drying treatment on adhesion performance of the SDS-modified SPI on fiberboard was then investigated. Drying treatment significantly affected the final adhesion performance. Shear strength did not change much, but the percentage of cohesive failure within fiberboard increased markedly as drying temperature increased. All the unsoaked, soaked, and wet specimens glued by the adhesives treated at 70° or 90°C had 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard. Viscosity also increased greatly with an increase in drying temperature. This information will be useful in developing low-cost adhesive processing system in the future.

This study deals with some of the economic impacts of one of these “invaders,” variable milfoil. Variable milfoil can clog waterbodies, cause boating and swimming hazards, and crowd out native species. This study analyzed the effects of variable milfoil on shoreline property values at selected New Hampshire lakes. Results indicate that property values on lakes experiencing milfoil infestation may be considerably lower than similar properties on uninfested lakes. Results are highly sensitive to specification (variable selection) of the hedonic equation.

This analysis combines these two approaches to evaluate mitigation required under Section 404 of the United States Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, which allow developers to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands. This study reviewed permit files and conducted field assessments of mitigation sites to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation required by the US Army Corps of Engineers for all permits issued in Orange County, California from 1979 through 1993. The 535 permit actions approved during this period allowed 157 ha of impacts. Mitigation was required on 70 of these actions, with 152 ha of enhanced, restored, and created habitat required for 136 ha of impacts. In 15 permit actions, no mitigation project was constructed, but in only two cases was the originally permitted project built; the two cases resulted in an unmitigated loss of 1.6 ha. Of the remaining 55 sites, 55% were successful at meeting the permit conditions while 11% failed to do so. Based on a qualitative assessment of habitat quality, only 16% of the sites could be considered successful and 26% were considered failures. Thus, of the 126 ha of habitat lost due to the 55 projects, only 26 ha of mitigation was considered successful. The low success rate was not due to poor enforcement, although nearly half of the projects did not comply with all permit conditions. Mitigation success could best be improved by requiring mitigation plans to have performance standards based on habitat functions.

Most permits allowed for mitigation out-of-kind, either vegetatively or through hydrogeomorphic class. The mitigation process has resulted in a shift from impacted wetlands dominated by woody species to less vegetated mitigation wetlands, a trend that appears to be occurring nationwide. An estimate of the percent cover of emergent vegetation was the only success criterion specified in the majority of permits. About 60% of the mitigation wetlands were judged as meeting their originally defined success criteria, some after more than 10 years. The permit process appears to have resulted in a net gain of almost 0.05 ha of wetlands per mitigation project. However, due to the replacement of emergent, scrub–shrub, and forested wetlands with open water ponds or uplands, mitigation practices probably led to a net loss of vegetated wetlands.

Toxicity was detected at various groundwater concentrations by seven of 10 toxicity test systems exposed to a mixture of heavy metals and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons. When estimated maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations (MATC) were established, the data for algae, invertebrates, and fish suggested that the groundwater would not be harmful at a concentration of 10% groundwater by volume. Likewise, no genotoxicity (Ames and SEC assays), development toxicity (FETAX), or chronic histopathology (9-month fish test) occurred at 10% groundwater by volume. Near-field (ULINE model) and far-field (dye-tracer model) screening level dilution models were run to estimate the dilution of the groundwater discharge plume from Beach Point into the Bush River. The groundwater was considered to be a potentially excessive hazardous material to the biota in the Bush River when a number of conservative assumptions regarding contaminant distribution and discharge rate of the aquifer were used in the hazard assessment. By modeling the groundwater emanating from Beach Point as the dilution of a discharge from a line diffuser, the potential water quality impacts were judged to be minimal if State of Maryland surface water discharge criteria for a mixing zone were used for the discharge of groundwater to the Bush River.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2002/03// VL - 29 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 428 EP - 436 SN - 0364152X AB - The Land Condition Trend Analysis (LCTA) program is the US Army's standard for land inventory and monitoring, employing standardized methods of natural resources data collection, analyses, and reporting designed to meet multiple goals and objectives. Critical to using LCTA data in natural resources management decisions is the ability of the LCTA protocols to detect changes in natural resources. To quantify the ability of LCTA protocols to detect resource changes, power analysis techniques were used to estimate minimum detectable effect sizes (MDES) for selected primary and secondary management variables for three Army installations. MDES for a subset of primary variables were estimated using data from 27 installation LCTA programs. MDES for primary and secondary variables varied widely. However, LCTA programs implemented at larger installations with lower sampling intensities detected changes in installation resources as well as programs implemented at smaller more intensively sampled installations. As a national monitoring program that is implemented at individual installations, LCTA protocols provide relatively consistent monitoring data to detect changes in resources despite diverse resource characteristics and implementation constraints.

DIMP is a by-product of the manufacture and detoxification of the nerve gas isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate. For the study, DIMP , which was more than 99 percent pure, was obtained from the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research, Fort Detrick, Maryland. The acute and chronic toxicity data indicate that DIMP is not a potential risk to aquatic organisms at either the Rocky Mountain Arsenal or Aberdeen Proving Ground.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 179 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1487 EP - 1496 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objectives: Training-related injury is a threat to military health and readiness. Prevalence of potential risk factors for training-related injury can change with U.S. Army recruitment goals and may influence basic combat training (BCT) injury rates. This article describes challenges of using administrative data to identify a trainee cohort and describes demographic and training characteristics across the five BCT locations. Methods: Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database were used to identify a U.S. Army-wide cohort of first-time trainees from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2007 and describe its characteristics. Results: The cohort includes 368,102 first-time trainees. The annual number starting BCT increased from 52,187 in 2002 to 68,808 in 2004. The proportion of males increased from 81.57% in 2003 to 83.84% in 2007. Mean (SD) age increased from 20.67 (3.55) years in 2002 to 20.94 (3.65) years in 2007. Mean (SD) body mass index increased from 24.53 (3.56) kg/m2 in 2002 to 24.94 (3.84) kg/m2 in 2006. Other characteristics fluctuated by year, including proportions of race/ethnicity, accession waivers, and confirmed graduates. Conclusions: Fluctuations in trainee characteristics warrant further analysis of potential influence on BCT injury rates. For research uses, careful acquisition of administrative data is needed.

Method: Cases were U.S. Army Soldiers (active duty or activated National Guard/Reserve) with dates of death between 2005 and 2011 and between 18 and 64 years of age in the Department of Defense Medical Mortality Registry. Age- and sex-adjusted annual mortality rates (AR) were calculated for each category of death and examined via linear regression. Proportions of underlying causes of death were also examined. Results: The trend in AR in the U.S. Army significantly decreased for combat deaths, the average annual percent change (AAPC) = 15.2% decrease in the log of the rate (LAR); p = 0.04 and accident deaths, AAPC = 5.4% decrease in the LAR; p = 0.002 and significantly increased for suicides, AAPC = 10.6% increase in the LAR; p = 0.001. The trend in AR for suicides for the Army was significantly different compared to the U.S. general population, AAPC = 11.0% increase in the LAR; p < 0.001. Conclusions: Trends in rates of combat deaths and accident deaths declined although rates of suicides increased. The Army suicide rate increased in comparison to the United States. 70% of accident deaths were transportation related. Almost 70% of suicides and homicides were firearm related.

Technology offers great potential to minimize and/or mitigate barriers associated with achieving optimal health, performance, and readiness. In support of the U.S. Army Surgeon General’s vision for a “System for Health” and its Performance Triad initiative, the U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center hosted a workshop in April 2013 titled “Incentives to Create and Sustain Change for Health.” Members of government and academia participated to identify and define the opportunities, gain clarity in leading practices and research gaps, and articulate the characteristics of future technology solutions to create and sustain real change in the health of individuals, the Army, and the nation. The key factors discussed included (1) public health messaging, (2) changing health habits and the environmental influence on health, (3) goal setting and tracking, (4) the role of incentives in behavior change intervention, and (5) the role of peer and social networks in change. This report summarizes the recommendations on how technology solutions could be employed to leverage evidence-based best practices and identifies gaps in research where further investigation is needed.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 180 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 468 EP - 474 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Military and civilian first responders must be able to recognize and effectively manage mass disaster casualties. Clinical management of injuries resulting from nerve agents provides different challenges for first responders than those of conventional weapons. We evaluated the impact of a mixed-methods training program on competency acquisition in cholinergic crisis clinical management using multimedia with either live animal or patient actor examples, and hands-on practice using SimMan3G mannequin simulators. A purposively selected sample of 204 civilian and military first responders who had not previously completed nerve agent training were assessed pre- and post-training for knowledge, performance, self-efficacy, and affective state. We conducted analysis of variance with repeated measures; statistical significance p < 0.05. Both groups had significant performance improvement across all assessment dimensions: knowledge > 20%, performance > 50%, self-efficacy > 34%, and affective state > 15%. There were no significant differences between the live animal and patient actor groups. These findings could aid in the specification of training for first-responder personnel in military and civilian service. Although less comprehensive than U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense courses, the training outcomes associated with this easily distributed program demonstrate its value in increasing the competency of first responders in recognizing and managing a mass casualty cholinergic event.

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences collaborated with the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute to conduct a descriptive and qualitative analysis of global health engagements (GHEs) contained in the Stability Operations Lessons Learned and Information Management System (SOLLIMS). This study used a summative qualitative content analysis approach involving six steps: (1) a comprehensive search; (2) two-stage reading and screening process to identify first-hand, health-related records; (3) qualitative and quantitative data analysis using MAXQDA, a software program; (4) a word cloud to illustrate word frequencies and interrelationships; (5) coding of individual themes and validation of the coding scheme; and (6) identification of relationships in the data and overarching lessons-learned. The individual codes with the most number of text segments coded included: planning, personnel, interorganizational coordination, communication/information sharing, and resources/supplies. When compared to the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) evolving GHE principles and capabilities, the SOLLIMS coding scheme appeared to align well with the list of GHE capabilities developed by the Department of Defense Global Health Working Group. The results of this study will inform practitioners of global health and encourage additional qualitative analysis of other lessons-learned databases.

On casual inspection, this simple matter of removing or excising a specific amount of central corneal avascular tissue is a smooth, seamless alteration with few apparent secondary issues or sequelae. Normal postoperative recovery is typically gauged by the recovery of high-contrast visual acuity to the same (or better) degree as was previously obtained with a spectacle correction. However, although this is an acceptable means of determining operative success, it is not indicative of the complex challenges imposed upon the neurosensory system. The secondarily imposed strain upon the visual system, regarding the return to its pre-existing visual line-of-sight organization occurs only by bringing multiple adaptations into subtle and seamless play. This process is initiated and completed in a relatively short time period, such that most patients (but not all) are not even marginally aware of the challenges imposed to the visual system. This article is meant to probe those system challenges, serving to highlight this postoperative plasticity, seeking to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the perceptual range of the visual recovery process.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 80 EP - 85 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: Ibuprofen is commonly used by Soldiers in the deployed environment. This study investigated its dose-effects on in vitro coagulation. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 4 normal healthy pigs and were processed to make platelet-adjusted (100 x 103/µL) blood samples. Ibuprofen was added to the samples at doses of 0 µg/mL (control), recommended oral dose (163 µg/mL, lx), 2 x , 4 x , 8 x , 1 0 x , 1 2 x , 1 6 x , and 20 x . Arachidonic acid or collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was assessed at 15 minutes after the addition of ibuprofen. Coagulation was assessed with measurements of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and thrombelastography by Rotem. Results: A robust inhibition of ibuprofen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed at all doses tested. Collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation was inhibited to 71% ± 5% and 10% ± 5% of the control values at ibuprofen doses of 4 x and 20 x , respectively (both p < 0.05). No changes were observed in PT at any dose, but aPTT was prolonged at dose of 16 x and 20 x . Rotem measurements of coagulation time, clot formation time, maximum clot firmness, and A10 were compromised at dose 16 x and 20 x (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Ibuprofen inhibited platelet aggregation at recommended doses, but did not compromise aPTT or coagulation profile until at 16 times the recommended doses and higher. Further effort is needed to clarify whether there are different dose-responses between human and pig blood samples in trauma situations.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 33 EP - 36 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Appropriate indications for resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) in an austere environment continue to evolve; the aim of this study was to determine survival and to analyze demographics of survivors within U.S. military personnel undergoing RT. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all U.S. soldiers who underwent thoracotomy in theater during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After individualized review, patients in extremis or who lost pulses and had their thoracotomy performed within 10 minutes of arrival to the emergency department were included. The primary outcome was survival at final hospital discharge, and secondary outcomes included demographics associated with survival. Results: Between January 2003 and May 2010, 81 U.S. military personnel met inclusion criteria for RT in theater. As low as 6.7% (3/45) of patients receiving prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation were alive at final hospital discharge. Survival from RT after explosive/ blast injury, penetrating (gunshot wound), and blunt trauma were 16.3% (8/49), 0% (0/28), and 0% (0/4), respectively. Patients with primary explosive/blast extremity trauma undergoing RT had a survival of 27.3% (6/22). Higher initial oxygen saturations, larger volume of crystalloids and blood products infused, and higher extremity abbreviated injury score were all associated with survival. Conclusions: Combat casualties who present pulseless or in extremis who were injured as a result of an explosive/blast injury mechanism resulting in a primary extremity injury may have a survival benefit from undergoing a RT in an austere environment.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 32 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Selective nonoperative management of combat-related blunt splenic injury (BSI) is controversial. We evaluated the impact of the November 2008 blunt abdominal trauma clinical practice guideline that permitted selective nonoperative management of some patients with radiological suggestion of hemoperitoneum on implementation of nonoperative management (NOM) of splenic injury in austere environments. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of patients with splenic injuries from November 2002 through January 2012 in Iraq and Afghanistan was performed. International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification procedure codes identified patients as laparotomy with splenectomy, or NOM. Delayed operative management had no operative intervention at earlier North American Treaty Organization (NATO) medical treatment facilities (MTFs), and had a definitive intervention at a latter NATO MTFs. Intra-abdominal complications and overall mortality were juxtaposed. Results: A total of 433 patients had splenic injuries from 2002 to 2012. Initial NOM of BSI from 2002 to 2008 compared to 2009-2012 was 44.1% and 47.2%, respectively (p = 0.75). Delayed operative management and NOM completion had intra-abdominal complication and mortality rates of 38.1% and 9.1% (p < 0.01), and 6.3% and 8.1% ( p = 0.77). Conclusions: Despite high-energy explosive injuries, NATO Role II MTFs radiological constraints and limited medical resources, hemodynamically normal patients with BSI and low abdominal abbreviated injury scores underwent NOM in austere environments.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 23 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) simulates hemorrhage, and tolerance to LBNP (time to presyncope [TTP]) is indicative of tolerance to blood loss. The purpose of this study was to predict TTP based on demographic characteristics (sex, age, height, and body mass index) and physiological variables (heart rate [HR], systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure [DAP], pulse pressure, stroke volume, total peripheral resistance [TPR], and baroreflex sensitivity [BRS]) at baseline, and during 2 levels of LBNP (-15, -30 mm Hg). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to create a model to predict TTP (range: 670 to 2516 seconds, n = 187) based on demographic characteristics and physiological variables changes (Δ) from baseline to -30 mm Hg LBNP. The prediction model revealed that TTP (seconds) = 1667.5 + (5.1 x Age) + (61.1 x Sex) -- (21.5 x ΔHR) + (55.3 x ADAP) -- (88.2 x ΔTPR) -- (4.9 x ΔBRS). Most significantly, our analysis demonstrated a lesser survival trajectory for females given the same rate and magnitude of hemorrhage compared to males. Young age and female sex are predictors of low tolerance to blood loss, and should be considered for early triage in the prehospital setting.

T1 - Prehospital and En Route Analgesic Use in the Combat Setting: A Prospectively Designed, Multicenter, Observational Study. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03/02/Mar2015 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 18 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Combat injuries result in acute, severe pain. Early use of analgesia after injury is known to be beneficial. Studies on prehospital analgesia in combat are limited and no prospectively designed study has reported the use of analgesics in the prehospital and en route care setting. Our objective was to describe the current use of prehospital analgesia in the combat setting. Methods: This prospectively designed, multicenter, observational, prehospital combat study was undertaken at medical treatment facilities (MTF) in Afghanistan between October 2012 and September 2013. It formed part of a larger study aimed at describing the use of lifesaving interventions in combat. On arrival at the MTF, trained on-site investigators enrolled eligible patients and completed standardized data capture forms, which included the name, dose, and route of administration of all prehospital analgesics, and the type of provider who administered the drug. Physiological data were retrospectively ascribed as soon as practicable. The study was prospectively approved by the Brooke Army Medical Center institutional review board. Results: Data were collected on 228 patients, with 305 analgesia administrations recorded. The predominant mechanism of injury was blast (50%), followed by penetrating (41%), and blunt (9%). The most common analgesic used was ketamine, followed by morphine. A combination of analgesics was given to 29% of patients; the most common combination was ketamine and morphine. Intravenous delivery was the most commonly used route (55%). Patients transported by the UK Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) or U.S. Air Medical Evacuation (Dust-off) team were more likely to receive ketamine than those evacuated by U.S. Pararescue Jumpers (Pedro). Patients transported by Medical Emergency Response Team or Pedro were more likely to receive more than 1 drug. Patients who received only ketamine had a higher pulse rate (p < 0.005) and lower systolic blood pressure (p = 0.01) than other groups, and patients that received hydromorphone had a lower respiratory rate (p = 0.04). Conclusions: In our prospectively designed, multicenter, observational, prehospital combat study, ketamine was the most commonly used analgesic drug. The most frequently observed combination of drugs was ketamine and morphine. The intravenous route was used for 55% of drug administrations.

In 2010, SharePoint, a web-based tool, was established to track study documents. This study conducted by JC2RT no. 13 describes characteristics of research studies under the purview of the JC2RT from 2010 through 2012. Of the 83 research studies reviewed, 34% were completed, 32% were not completed, and 34% were still in progress. Target sample sizes ranged from 12 to 70,000, with 96% of the research studying U.S. military members. The design of 61% of the studies was prospective, 20% surveys, and 14% retrospective reviews. Approximately one-half of the studies were conducted at single sites. Eighty-four percent of the studies that finished an institutional review board (IRB) were completed, whereas a large number of studies never made it to IRB approval. Even after studies have gone through the rigorous process of scientific review and IRB approval some continue to struggle for years to be completed in the theater of operations. The JC2RT is committed to helping facilitate the ethical conduct of research during war.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 180 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 276 EP - 284 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease that poses a threat to force health protection to the U.S. military. The rate of TB disease in the military is low; however, there are unique challenges for its control in this setting. As a low-risk population, TB testing in the U.S. military can be scaled back from the universal testing approach used previously. Reactivation of latent TB infection (LTBI) present at accession into service is the most important factor leading to TB disease; therefore, its diagnosis and treatment among recruits should be given a high priority. Deployment and overseas military service is an uncommon but important source of TB infection, and rigorous surveillance should be ensured. Case management of TB disease and LTBI can be improved by the use of cohort reviews at the service and installation levels and case finding and delays in the diagnosis of TB disease can be improved by education of providers, as well as increased use of molecular diagnostic tests. Program outcomes can be improved by making LTBI treatment compulsory, offering shorter treatment regimens, and increasing accountability through oversight and evaluation. The diagnosis of LTBI can be improved by implementing targeted testing in all settings and reducing confirmatory interferon-gamma release assay testing.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 180 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 274 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Each year musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) result in thousands of lost duty days and medical discharges. Women represent 15% of the Army and have higher incidence of injury than male soldiers; studies that have investigated MSIs in deployed women are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective cohort study was to investigate MSIs in women during a 9-month deployment to Afghanistan. Participants were recruited from three Brigade Combat Teams. Participants completed a demographic survey before deployment and a second survey on occupational demands and MSIs after deployment. Of the 160 women, 57 (36%) suffered 78 MSIs resulting in 1,642 days of limited duty, a median of 7 days per MSI, losing 10% of the available duty time to MSIs. Most injuries affected the knee (24%) or low back (18%). Soldiers attributed the majority of injuries (27%) to physical training and trips/falls (17%). Of the MSIs, 93% caused limitations to physical training and 76% resulted in large limitations to occupational tasks. Most MSIs (41%) resolved within 3 weeks and most (37%) occurred before the fourth month of deployment. Prevention measures should target knee and low back injuries. Physical training should be further investigated to discover modifications capable of reducing injuries.

T1 - Total Force Fitness: The Military Family Fitness Model. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 180 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 246 EP - 258 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The military lifestyle can create formidable challenges for military families. This article describes the Military Family Fitness Model (MFFM), a comprehensive model aimed at enhancing family fitness and resilience across the life span. This model is intended for use by Service members, their families, leaders, and health care providers but also has broader applications for all families. The MFFM has three core components: (1) family demands, (2) resources (including individual resources, family resources, and external resources), and (3) family outcomes (including related metrics). The MFFM proposes that resources from the individual, family, and external areas promote fitness, bolster resilience, and foster well-being for the family. The MFFM highlights each resource level for the purpose of improving family fitness and resilience over time. The MFFM both builds on existing family strengths and encourages the development of new family strengths through resource-acquiring behaviors. The purpose of this article is to (1) expand the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) intent as it relates to families and (2) offer a family fitness model. This article will summarize relevant evidence, provide supportive theory, describe the model, and proffer metrics that support the dimensions of this model.

Vitamin D (VITD) levels are inversely correlated with weight status in adults. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in a retrospective sample of overweight or obese Soldiers who had attended weight management classes at Fort Bliss, Texas. The study design was a cross-sectional, retrospective review of electronic outpatient medical records of 314 active duty Soldiers. The mean age of the Soldiers was 31, mean body mass index was 32, and 69% were classified as obese. Twenty-one percent of Soldiers were classified VTTD-deficient based on having serum 25-hydroxy VITD concentrations < 20 ng/mL, and 51% were classified as insufficient (20-29 ng/mL). In a multivariate logistic regression model, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic race were significant predictors of both VITD deficiency and insufficiency. The high rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in this sample of Soldiers is concerning. Given the important roles of VITD in the body, it is imperative that further study of both normal and overweight Soldiers be conducted in order to determine prevalence.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 180 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 216 EP - 223 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This retrospective study examined spinal-related hospitalizations of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. Spinal cord injuries (SCI) and vertebral column injuries (VCI) were identified using International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. In our study, spinal hospitalizations represented 8.2% of total injury admissions. Risk factors for SCI and VCI incidences were determined using Poisson regression. Lack of previous deployment experience increased risk of having SCI by 33% and VCI by 24% in Iraq (similar increases, but not statistically significant in Afghanistan). Male soldiers had 4.85 times higher risk for SCI in Iraq and 69% higher risk in Afghanistan than female soldiers. In Afghanistan, almost 60% of spinal episodes included traumatic brain injury (TBI), compared to about 40% in Iraq. In both theaters, mild TBI accounted for more than 50% of all TBI-spinal episodes. Sixteen percent of SCI inpatient episodes in Afghanistan and 13% in Iraq were associated with paralysis, with median bed days of 46 and 33 days compared to a median of 6 days in both theaters for nonparalysis spinal injuries. The mortality rate was 2.5 times lower in Afghanistan than in Iraq.

However, clinical course and discharge criteria, once hospitalized, are poorly described. We describe 30 cases of exertional rhabdomyolysis and their hospital course. Methods: Thirty hospitalized cases with ICD-9 code of 722.88 (rhabdomyolysis) as the primary diagnosis were reviewed from 2010 to 2012. We excluded those with associated trauma, toxin, and heat illnesses. Results: The average length of stay was 3.6 days (range: 1-8 days). Length of stay correlated significantly with peak creatine kinase (CK) levels. The mean admission CK was 61,391 U/L (range 697-233,180 U/L). The mean discharge CK was 23,865 U/L with a wide range (1,410-94,665 U/L). Six cases (20%) had evidence of acute kidney injury, but most had serum creatinine (Cr) <1.7 mg/dL. One had a peak Cr of 4.8 mg/dL. Higher serum Cr levels correlated significantly with lower CK levels. Twenty-nine out of 30 patients were discharged when CKs downtrended. Conclusion: Higher peak CK levels predicted longer length of stay. Higher serum Cr significantly correlated with lower CK levels. There did not appear to be any threshold CK for admission or discharge, however, all but one patient were discharged after CK downtrended.

The primary aim of this study was to determine if the number of exercises prescribed in a HEP was associated with compliance rate of Service Members (SM) in theater with a secondary aim of determining variables associated with compliance and noncompliance. Materials/Methods: Subjects were 155 deployed SM undergoing physical therapy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinical evaluation and prescription of a HEP were performed. Pathologic, demographic, and treatment data were obtained. Subjects returned to the clinic 1 week later to demonstrate their HEP. Subjects’ performance of each prescribed exercise was rated on a 12-point scale to quantify compliance. Results: 2 variables were found to be significantly associated with rate of compliance. These were the number of exercises prescribed ( p = 0.02) and if a subject left the base at least once per week ( p = 0.01). Conclusions: SM prescribed 4 or more exercises had a lower rate of compliance than those prescribed 2 or fewer. SM who left the base at least once per week also had a lower rate of compliance.

The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and types of visual field (VF) defects seen at different testing stages following nonblast and blast-induced mTBI. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective review was performed on 500 electronic health records for military personnel sustaining an mTBI during deployment, of which 166 patients were tested with both confrontation VF and 30-2 Humphrey Matrix Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimetry. Results: Scatter defects (48%) were the most predominantly found deficits in both blast and nonblast mTBI injury mechanisms and over postinjury test time frames. Confrontation VF was shown to be a poor qualitative predictor of VF defect. A profound decrease in VF sensitivity was noted in comparison to previously reported FDT normative data. Finally, a significant trend of decreasing VF defects was seen over time, indicating the potential usage of FDT as a visual biomarker for monitoring mTBI recovery. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the importance of performing threshold perimeter testing in those who have suffered an mTBI or concussion-like event.

Research done on deployed populations have focused mostly on men. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to describe physical demands and MSIs among male and female soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team during a 12-month deployment to Afghanistan. Data on occupational tasks and injuries were collected from the infantry and brigade support battalions. Out of 57 women, 22 had MSIs (39%) and for the 536 men, 120 (22%) had MSIs resulting in limited duty. The average limited duty was 7.5 and 13 days/injury for women and men, respectively. The most commonly injured body region for the men was the low back (32%) and the low back (22%) and foot and ankle (22%) for women. The activity associated with MSI for women was physical training (25%) and for men it was contact with the enemy (23%). Physically demanding duties, more distance walked, and heavier average load and objects lifted all increased the risk of injury in women. Only lifting heavier weights increased the risk in men. The women appear to have less tolerance to physically demanding work such than their male counterparts.

The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in weight, body composition, and metabolic rate during the first year following traumatic amputation in military servicemembers. Servicemembers without amputation were included for comparison. Participants were measured within the first 12 wk after amputation (baseline) and at 6, 9, and 12 mo after amputation. Muscle mass, fat mass, weight, and metabolic rate were measured at each time point. There was a significant increase in weight and body mass index in the unilateral group between baseline and all follow-up visits (p < 0.01). Over the 12 mo period, total fat mass and trunk fat mass increased in both unilateral and bilateral groups; however, these changes were not statistically significant over time. Muscle mass increased in both the unilateral and bilateral groups despite percent of lean mass decreasing. No changes in resting metabolism or walking energy expenditure were observed in any group. The results of this study conclude that weight significantly increased because of an increase in both fat mass and muscle mass in the first year following unilateral and bilateral amputation.

Current efforts are hindered by the lack of effective in vitro cellular models to aid in the preliminary screening of potential candidate drugs/antidotes. The development of an in vitro cellular model to aid in discovering new NA therapeutics would be highly beneficial. In this regard, we have examined the response of a differentiated hybrid neuronal cell line, NSC-34, to the NA VX. VX-induced apoptosis of differentiated NSC-34 cells was measured by monitoring the changes in caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity post-exposure. Differentiated NSC-34 cells showed an increase in caspase-3 activity in a manner dependent on both time (17-23 h post-exposure) and dose (10-100 nM). The maximal increase in caspase-3 activity was found to be at 20-h post-exposure. Caspase-9 activity was also measured in response to VX and was found to be elevated at all concentrations (10-100 nM) tested. VX-induced cell death was also observed by utilizing annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytometry. Finally, VX-induced caspase-3 or -9 activities were reduced with the addition of pralidoxime (2-PAM), one of the current therapeutics used against NA toxicity, and dizocilpine (MK-801). Overall the data presented here show that differentiated NSC-34 cells are sensitive to VX-induced cell death and could be a viable in vitro cell model for screening NA candidate therapeutics.

In this decade, the relationship between the armed forces and society changed. These countries have broken out of their Cold War molds of indifference and distance and have found common ground. No longer occupying separate corners, the new international focus of Germany and Japan's defense policies, made possible by the end of the Cold War, is breathing new life into societal-military relationships, which is critical for a full normalization of these two countries.

The problems highlighted in the Czech and Slovak cases are indicative of the struggle across the post-Communist political space to grow mature national security systems. National security professionals' ability to participate collaboratively in the national security process has been limited by the lack of professionals with specific and overlapping areas of political-military expertise. The article spells out specific deficiencies within the Czech and Slovak national security systems. The underperformance of national security institutions has been caused by unfocused governmental leadership and guidance, the absence of involved and informed parliaments, the lack of professionally mature media capable of facilitating a national debate on defense issues, and defense ministries' and general staffs' resistance to reform.

Effective speed of sound is readily derived from estimates of air temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity. However, meteorological models for the forest canopy vary from comparatively simple to academically complex, requiring different amounts and numbers of inputs and computer capabilities. In addition, not all canopy profile models are suitable for acoustic applications. In this paper, a meteorological computer model for the forest canopy is developed to derive continuous profiles of effective sound speed from the ground to 3 h, where h is the height of the canopy. In turn, these profiles are used to make some initial approximations of short-range acoustic transmission loss through a uniform forest stand for typical clear sky, midday atmospheric conditions. Also, a radiative transfer and energy budget algorithm is incorporated into the model to obtain the appropriate heat source profile for any time of day. Thus, physics-based micrometeorology is coupled to acoustics for future applications of acoustic information in forest environments.

The depths of the stations ranged from about 100 m to 2500 m. The measured spectra are in good agreement with predictions made using Cato's theory [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 89, 1076-1095 (1991)] for noise generation by surface-wave orbital motion after extending the calculations to incorporate horizontally stratified environments. Contributions from both the linear, single-frequency (virtual monopole) and the nonlinear, double-frequency (dipole) mechanisms are clearly recognizable in the data. The predictions make use of directional wave data obtained from surface buoys deployed during the SWADE experiment and an ocean bottom model derived from compressional wave speed data measured during the EDGE deep seismic reflection survey. The results demonstrate conclusively that nonlinear surface-wave interactions are the dominant mechanism for generating deep-ocean ULF noise in the band 0.2-0.7 Hz.

This treatment considers a single, monochromatic, plane-wave source at near-normal incidence. A line-of-sight propagation path is assumed. The primary interests are in calculating the Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the azimuthal and elevational angles of arrival and in observing how these bounds change with the introduction of additional unknowns, such as the propagation distance, turbulence parameters, and signal-to-noise ratio. In both two and three dimensions, it is found that for large values of the index-of-refraction variance, the Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the angles of arrival increase significantly at large values of the normalized propagation distance. For small values of the index-of-refraction variance and normalized propagation distance, the signal-to-noise ratio is found to be the limiting factor. In the two-dimensional treatment, it is found that the estimate of the angle of arrival will decouple from the estimates of the other parameters with the appropriate choice of array geometry. In three dimensions, again with an appropriate choice of array geometry, the estimates of the azimuth and elevation will decouple from the estimates of the other parameters, but due to the constraints of the model, will remain coupled to one another.

Two critical experimental conditions were employed to ensure the conclusive detection of these waves. First, acoustic pulses rather than a continuous wave source allowed an examination of the waveform shape and avoided the masking of wave arrivals. Second, a snow cover provided favorable ground impedance conditions for surface waves to exist. The acoustic pulses were generated by blank pistol shots fired 1 m above the snow. The resultant waveforms were measured using a vertical array of six microphones located 60 m away from the source at heights between 0.1 and 4.75 m. A strong, low frequency ''tail'' following the initial arrival was recorded near the snow surface. This tail, and its exponential decay with height (z) above the surface (~e2-az), are diagnostic features of surface waves. The measured attenuation coefficient a was 0.28 m-1. The identification of the surface wave is confirmed by comparing the measured waveforms with waveforms predicted by the theoretical evaluation of the explicit surface wave pole term using residue theory.

The resulting gradient equation can be recast in a form involving just three nondimensional variables. The first is the ratio of a sound-speed scale (representing the strength of the turbulent fluctuations in the sound speed) to the friction velocity. The second is the ratio of the actual height to a transitional height where contributions from the near-ground wind-speed gradients and the adiabatic lapse rate are roughly balanced. The third is simply the cosine of the angle between the propagation direction and mean wind direction. When the magnitude of the sound-speed scale/friction velocity ratio is large, refraction is unconditionally upward or downward, depending on sign of the ratio. A small value for this ratio indicates nearly neutral atmospheric stratification, for which refraction is determined by the wind direction for small values of the nondimensional height and is upward for larger values. The contribution to refraction from air humidity is determined as a function of the Bowen ratio and found to be significant over wet surfaces. Weather conditions appropriate for measurement of sound pressure levels are also discussed.   [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This study draws on the slate strength literature to identify relevant country macrostructural factors that can contribute to different kinds and levels of intensity of conflict and country instabilities. A pattern classification algorithm--fuzzy analysis of statistical evidence (FASE)--is used to analyze the relationships between country macrostructural factors and historical instances of country instability. A spilt-sample validation design is used to evaluate the ability of FASE to generate competent predictions, using the standard forecasting performance metrics overall accuracy, recall, and precision. The results demonstrate the potential for FASE to accurately forecast not just the occurrence but also the level of intensity of country-specific instabilities out 5 years with about 80% overall accuracy.

Today, however, poets and soldiers operate in an altered relation. The association of poetry with often violent action is very much alive, yet the once intertwined existence of soldier and poet—an incorporation that perhaps reached its apex in the figure of the World War I soldier-poet—has been replaced by diffidence, curiosity, and sometimes distrust. This climate of estrangement notwithstanding, poetry thrives at the United States Military Academy, where all plebes take a core curriculum literature class. Cadets emerge from this class with a recognition of the long-standing connections between literature and war; of the historical role of poetry in shaping culture, attitudes, and values; and of the ongoing imperative for military officers to be able to use language with precision. Moreover, by exercising the cadets' imaginations, the study of poetry helps to cultivate the powers of anticipation and invention these young men and women will need as military professionals in an unsettled, unsettling world.

The potential to cause large numbers of serious casualties among deployed and deploying military forces and among civilian populations provides a stark reminder to medical planners of the limits of military and civilian medicine. However, medical countermeasures to these chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been, and continue to be, developed. These CWAs, their countermeasures, and their health care implications are described in the articles of this special issue. These articles suggest likely psychological, physiological, and neurological effects that will be encountered should these agents be employed against U.S. forces on the integrated battlefield or against homeland facilities. Also suggested are countermeasures that U.S. forces and medical teams may use to protect or treat our forces or citizens undergoing such CWA attacks. Knowledge of the behavioral effects of the CWAs and of their medical countermeasures is imperative to ensure that military and civilian medical and mental health organizations can deal with possible incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. This first study, in contrast to the remaining studies in this special issue, focuses on the psychological factors in chemical warfare and terrorism. It also serves as an overview of the remaining articles in this special issue.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - We examined the role of contextualized, group-level ratings of a family-supportive work climate on the link between individuals’ aggressiveness and marital quality in a sample of 1,604 married male active duty soldiers from brigades in the southeastern United States. Results of multilevel analyses showed that group-level ratings of a family-supportive work climate moderated the negative individual-level link between aggressiveness and marital quality. Findings suggest that the negative association between aggressiveness and perceived marital quality may be influenced by how well the organization fosters a climate that is supportive of married soldiers’ family responsibilities. Implications for work climate research and organizational policy in the military are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - We propose that leadership is uniquely contextualized when confronting dangerous contexts such that specific causations and contingencies occur that are not present in non-dangerous contexts. Yet we know very little about how such leadership operates and what constitutes effective leadership for such dangerous contexts. To guide future research, we take a multilevel and systems approach to leadership and suggest important areas for future research of leadership in dangerous contexts at the micro-, meso-, and macrolevels.

AB - Although researchers have examined the situational demands that conventional environments place on leadership, the demands that highly dangerous environments impose on leadership have been much less explored. While investigations in such environments are extremely difficult to conduct, such research is essential if we are to understand the functioning of leadership in contexts where leadership matters most. This paper introduces six studies that accepted the difficulties of this kind of research; and examined leadership in various challenging, dangerous contexts. We discuss the contributions of the six papers in terms of three related questions (1) what precisely is leadership in dangerous environments?; (2) what does danger do to leadership?; and (3) what distinguishes effective leadership in dangerous contexts?.

Issue Publication Date: 2010. AB - A study conducted in the Iraqi combat zone investigated whether soldiers reconsidered trust in their leaders prior to combat operations. Seventy-two soldiers, assigned to an Army division that was conducting combat and civil military operations in northern Iraq, completed a questionnaire that determined to what degree they reevaluated trust in their direct leaders prior to following them into battle and what impact this reconsideration had on the trust they placed in their leaders. Results indicated that the majority of soldiers did reconsider trust in their leaders prior to combat operations, to ensure that they had the competence and character to meet the greater demands of leading in combat. Findings also suggested that the trust leaders developed during peacetime training seemed to transfer to the combat environment and that leaders’ abilities emerged as the most influential factor in the development of trust in the high-vulnerability context of combat. The findings have implications for trust models, leader development, leadership, and training of first responders. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

However, evidence suggests that voting does not, by itself, compromise an officer's ability to act responsibly, the principal measure of professionalism. Officers who vote are not constrained from performing their professional duties competently and rendering expert, unbiased advice to civilian leaders.

The study is limited in that only three sets of student attitudes were examined, which were those pertaining to American society and its culture, military professionalism, and civil-military relations. There was no significant gap between the attitudes and perspectives of military students in precommissioning undergraduate education and graduating seniors in civilian institutions. Rather, a relatively high degree of similarity appeared in responses. The study also found a remarkably similar understanding of military professionalism, but, unfortunately, serious misunderstandings about proper civil-military relations on the part of both groups of students.

In this new security era, the army participated increasingly in nontraditional operations. Also during this period, the frequency with which American service members were operationally deployed increased. The authors analyze the impact of multiple deployments on peacekeeping attitudes, personal morale, and reenlistment intentions. In terms of peacekeeping attitudes, the greatest effects were on judgments of the appropriateness of alternative personnel to perform peacekeeping operations. With respect to morale and reenlistment intentions, there was support for the negative impact of multiple deployments on personal morale. However, there was no statistical support for the relationship between number of deployments and reenlistment intentions.

JO - Estuaries JF - Estuaries Y1 - 2001/08// VL - 24 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 545 EP - 556 SN - 01608347 AB - A spatially-explicit methodology was developed for estimating system carrying capacities of fish stocks, and used to estimate the seasonal and spatial patterns of carrying capacity of Chesapeake Bay for Atlantic menhaden ( Brevoortia tyrannus). We used a spatially-explicit three-dimensional (3-D) model that divided the heterogeneous habitat of Chesapeake Bay into over 4,000 cubes. Each cube represented a volume of water that was characterized by a specific set of environmental variables (phytoplankton biomass, temperature, and dissolved oxygen) driven by the 3-D water quality model. Foraging and bioenergetics models transformed the environmental variables into measures of potential growth rates of menhaden. Potential carrying capacity of menhaden was estimated as a function of phytoplankton production, menhaden consumption rate, and potential growth rate, combining phytoplankton production, thermal habitat, and menhaden physiology into one ecological value that is a measure of habitat quality from the perspective of the fish. Seasonal analysis of the Chesapeake Bay carrying capacity for Atlantic menhaden suggested two bottleneck periods: one in early June and a second during the fall. The bottleneck in carrying capacity was at about 10 billion age-0 fish. Annual recruitment of age-0 menhaden for the entire Atlantic coast of the U.S. ranged from 1.2–18.6 billion fish between 1955 and 1986. It appears that carrying capacity of, Chesapeake Bay does not limit the coastwide production of young menhaden. Any conditions such as nutrient reduction strategies, further eutrophication, or global climatic warming, that may influence the carrying capacity during the fall or early June periods, may ultimately alter coastwide abundance of menhaden through changes in Chesapeake Bay carrying capacity.

Domain of the model includes the mainstem of the bay as well as tidal portions of major embayments and tributaries. Three SAV communities are modeled: ZOSTERA, RUPPIA, and FRESHWATER. The model successfully computes the spatial distribution and abundance of SAV for the period 1985–1994. Spatial distribution is primarily determined by computed light attenuation. Sensivitity analysis to reductions in nutrient and solids loads indicates nutrient controls will enhance abundance primarily in areas that presently support SAV. Restoration of SAV to areas in which it does not presently exist requires solids controls, alone or in combination with nutrient controls. For regions in which SAV populations exist at the refuge level or greater, improvements in SAV abundance are expected within 2 to 10 years of load reductions. For regions in which no refuge population exists, recovery time is unpredictable and will depend on propagule supply.

For two years, traps were used to quantify the amount of plant material reaching three unvegetated sites over the growing season. The calculated flux values provided a gross estimate of the flux of propagules that could potentially survive if other site factors were suitable. The mean flux of Hydrilla verticillata and all other species (≥0.01 gdw m−2 d−1) appeared sufficient to favor the establishment of vegetation, particularly considering the high viability (70–100%) of whole plants and fragments under controlled conditions. However, median water clarity values (i.e., for light attenuation, Secchi depth, total suspended solids, and chlorophyll a) were below SAV restoration goals at all unvegetated sites. Additionally, sediments from unvegetated sites showed a potential for nitrogen limitation of the growth of H. verticillata. Our findings support the hypothesis that in the tidal Potomac River, water clarity and nutrient (especially nitrogen) levels in sediment are key to plant community establishment.

From 1990 to 1999, we collected 332 individuals of 18 species between river miles 232.0 and 271.2. Age structure of the community suggests mussels began recolonizing in the early 1980s, which coincides with improvements in water quality and the upper river fish community. We found four sites with five or more species, which we considered to be recently formed mussel beds. We collected live individuals of six species (Actinonaias ligamentina, Alasmidonta marginata, Lampsilis cardium, Lasmigona costata, Pleurobema sintoxia, and Strophitus undulatus) thought to have been extirpated from the entire Illinois River mainstem, and one species (Anodonta suborbiculata) that has recently expanded its range into the upper river. Upper Illinois River tributaries and lower reaches of the Illinois River harbored source populations for the recolonizing mussels. Although the present community does not approximate the pre-disturbance fauna, these data show that given adequate time and improved conditions, mussel communities may recover from a devastating disturbance.

Contaminated dredged material with a variety of organic chemicals, obtained from Indiana Harbor Canal, was used in the study. It was placed in an outdoor CDF simulator (i.e., a lysimeter of dimensions 4 ft x 4 ft x 2 ft). A portable, dynamic flux chamber was used to periodically measure emissions of various polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A weather station was set up to monitor and record the meteorological conditions during the experiment. The fluxes of several PAHs were monitored over time for 6 1/2 months. Initial 6-hr average fluxes varied from 2 to 20 ng/cm²/hr for six different PAHs. The flux values declined rapidly for all compounds soon after placement of the dredged material in the CDF. Chemical concentrations derived from flux values were generally of low magnitude compared with ambient standards. Data obtained from the experiment were compared against those predicted using models for air emissions. Model simulations showed that initially the flux was largely from exposed pore water from saturated (wet) sediment, whereas the long-term flux was controlled by diffusion through the pore air of the unsaturated sediment. Model predictions generally overestimated the measured emissions. A rainfall event was simulated, and the dredged material was reworked to simulate that typical of a CDF operation. Increased flux was observed upon reworking the dredged material.

Although edge: areacomparisons cannot detect certain types of differencesin geomorphology, comparisons clearly show thatdredged material marshes, on average, have fewer pondsand flooded depressions than natural marshes. Comparisons of relative exposure index values suggestthat wave protection structures associated with somedredged material marshes may be overbuilt. Elevationprofiles illustrate the potential for structures suchas berms to lead to differences between dredgedmaterial marshes and natural marshes, but they alsoshow the high variability in elevation profiles thatexists among both dredged material and naturalmarshes. S. alternifloraelevations in dredgedmaterial marshes are not significantly different fromthose of natural marshes. Soil organic carbon andsilt-clay content of dredged material marshes are notsignificantly different from those of natural marshes. Although belowground biomass of dredged materialmarshes is significantly lower than that of naturalmarshes, regression analysis suggests that belowgroundbiomass will increase over time. Findings reportedhere suggest several points that should be consideredduring planning and design of dredged material marshesin Texas: 1) if an objective of marsh construction isto mimic natural marsh geomorphology, methods toincrease the amount of unconnected edge need to bedeveloped, 2) methods of effectively summarizinggeomorphic characteristics need further development,and 3) there is some evidence suggesting thatprotective structures may be over-built, and the needfor substantial structural protection should bebalanced against the costs of structures and risk ofsite failure during project design. Lastly, a methodfor increasing the amount of unconnected edge thatinvolves excavation of bay bottom before placement ofdredged material is suggested.

JO - Wetlands Ecology & Management JF - Wetlands Ecology & Management Y1 - 2000/10// VL - 8 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 295 EP - 316 SN - 09234861 AB - After three decades ofexperience, environmental managers continue toquestion the use of dredged material for creation andrestoration of Spartina alternifloramarshes. Different uses of the term `success' have led to someconfusion, and poor recognition of the limitations ofresearch design have contributed to confusion instudies comparing dredged material and naturalmarshes. This paper uses data from a number ofsources to compare dredged material and naturalmarshes. Quantitative analyses based on dataavailable in the scientific literature suggest thatmean values for aboveground and belowground biomass,organic carbon in sediments, polychaete densities, andcrustacean densities may differ in dredged materialand natural marshes. There is not sufficient evidenceto conclude that differences are present for othervariables, such as densities of stems, oligochaetes,or fish. Cumulative quantitative data do not supportthe contention that dredged material sites becomeincreasingly similar to nearby natural marshes overtime as a general rule, although some attributes ofindividual dredged material marshes may becomeincreasingly similar to some natural marshes. Although it is clear that dredged material marshesprovide habitat for birds, limited data suggest thatdredged material marshes may provide habitat for adifferent community of birds than natural marshes. Similarly, limited data suggest that geomorphologicalfeatures found in natural marshes are not duplicatedin dredged material marshes. In short, datasummarized from the literature suggest that dredgedmaterial marshes provide some of the functions ofnatural marshes but probably do not replace all of thefunctions of lost natural marshes.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2000/02// VL - 19 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 360 EP - 367 SN - 07307268 AB - In regulatory evaluations of contaminated sediments, an equilibrium partitioning-based screening test called theoretical bioaccumulation potential (TBP) is often performed to estimate the probable concentrations of neutral organic contaminants that would eventually accumulate in aquatic organisms from continuous exposure to a sediment. The TBP is calculated from contaminant concentration and organic carbon content of the sediment, lipid content of target organisms, and a partition coefficient, usually the biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF). However, routine applications of TBP have not included analysis of uncertainty. This paper demonstrates two methods for uncertainty analysis of TBP: a computational method that incorporates random and systematic error and a simulation method using bootstrap resampling of replicated model input parameters to calculate statistical uncertainty measures. For prediction of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bioaccumulation in bivalves exposed to contaminated sediments, uncertainty as a factor of TBP ranged from 1.2 to 4.8 using the computational method and 0.5 to 1.9 based on bootstrap 95% confidence intervals. Sensitivity analysis indicated that BSAF parameters, especially tissue contaminant concentration and lipid content, contributed most to TBP uncertainty. In bootstrap tests of significance, TBP significantly over- or underestimated actual PAH bioaccumulation in bivalves in 41% and 10% of comparisons, respectively.

The sites were previously suspected of contamination with ordnance compounds. The initial survey employed sea urchin porewater toxicity tests to locate the most toxic stations. Sediments from the most toxic stations were selected for comprehensive chemical analyses. Based on the combined information from the toxicity and chemical data, three adjacent stations in Ostrich Bay were selected for the TIE study. The results of the phase I TIE suggested that organics and metals were primarily responsible for the observed toxicity in the sea urchin fertilization test. In addition to these contaminants, ammonia was also contributing to the toxicity for the sea urchin embryological development test. The phase II TIE study isolated the majority of the toxicity in the fraction containing nonpolar organics with high log Kow, but chemical analyses failed to identify a compound present at a concentration high enough to be responsible for the observed toxicity. The data suggest that some organic or organometallic contaminant(s) that were not included in the comprehensive suite of chemical analyses caused the observed toxicological responses.

Toxicity tests and endpoints included fertilization success and embryological development with the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata; zoospore germination, germling length, and cell number with the green macroalga Ulva fasciata; survival and reproductive success of the polychaete Dinophilus gyrociliatus; larvae hatching and survival with the redfish Sciaenops ocellatus; and survival of juveniles of the opossum shrimp Americamysis bahia (formerly Mysidopsis bahia). The studied ordnance compounds were 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid), and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). The most sensitive toxicity test endpoints overall were the macroalga zoospore germination and the polychaete reproduction tests. The most toxic ordnance compounds overall were tetryl and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. These were also the most degradable compounds, often being reduced to very low or below-detection levels at the end of the test exposure. Among the dinitro- and trinitrotoluenes and benzenes, toxicity tended to increase with the level of nitrogenation. Picric acid and RDX were the least toxic chemicals tested overall.

JO - Archives of Environmental Contamination & Toxicology JF - Archives of Environmental Contamination & Toxicology Y1 - 2001/08// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 142 EP - 150 SN - 00904341 AB - The lethal and sublethal toxicity of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) to the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was determined using sediment spiked with 14C-labeled compound. Juvenile amphipods were exposed to concentrations up to 9.9 nmol/g dry weight (3.5 μg/g). Acute effects on survival were determined in a 10-day experiment. Chronic effects on survival, growth, and reproduction were assessed in a 28-day experiment. The DDT in the sediments transformed to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and polar metabolites during the 14-day sediment storage prior to exposing the amphipods. The mixture of DDT and its breakdown products (tDDT) was comprised mostly of DDT at the beginning of the exposures. DDD was the prevalent compound at termination of the 28-day exposure. Complete mortality occurred at sediment concentrations of tDDT as low as 7 nmol/g (2.3 μg/g) in both acute and chronic experiments. Most of the mortality appeared to have occurred within the first 4 days of exposure. No sublethal reductions in growth or reproduction were observed in the 28-day experiment. In the 10-day experiment, where amphipods did not receive supplemental food, growth was significantly increased in DDT treatments where survival was not affected. The concentration of tDDT in amphipod tissues was determined at exposure termination. In the 10-day experiment, a mean body residue of 14 nmol/g wet weight was associated with significant mortality (30%). Lower critical body residues were observed in the 28-day experiment, where the median lethal tissue residue (LR50) was 7.6 (6.8–8.4, 95% confidence interval) nmol/g wet weight. Based on previous studies, the lethal critical body residue for L. plumulosus is similar to those determined for freshwater amphipods and substantially lower than those determined for cladocerans and polychaetes.

Lighting accounts for 20–25 percent of all electricity sold in the United States. Costs considered in the study included the cost of retrofitting the building's existing lighting system and the cost of disposal of the current lamps and ballast fixtures. Benefits included a reduction of electric utility costs and a reduction of emissions of SO2, NOx, CO2, and CO from electric utility power plants. Environmental and health issues for air pollutant emissions were also addressed. The results showed that significant reductions in utility bills as well as reductions in air emissions would result from a major building converting to a more energy efficient lighting system. The results showed that conversion of this large building would reduce SO2 emissions by 14.6 tons/yr and NOx emissions by 6.3 tons/yr. In addition, the conversion would reduce annual energy costs by approximately $114,000.

The process performance was evaluated in terms of initial flux through the membrane, fouling time and PHC removal efficiency. The higher levels of PHC contamination significantly decreased the initial flux, membrane life and PHC removal efficiency. Coagulation pretreatment significantly improved the membrane life and PHC removal efficiency with no significant effect on the initial flux. Prefiltration to remove the flocs from the coagulated water samples did not improve the fouling time but improved the PHC removal efficiency.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2000/09// VL - 26 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 233 EP - 250 SN - 0364152X AB - ABSTRACT / Wetland mitigation banking as a resource management tool has gained popular support for its potential to provide an ecologically effective and economically efficient means to fulfill compensatory mitigation requirements for impacts to aquatic resources. Although this management tool has been actively applied within the past 10 years (C. Short, 1988, Mitigation banking, in Biological Report 88(41):1–103), assessment of credits and determination of a compensation ratio that reflects existing and/or potential functional condition in a mitigation bank has been a formidable task. This study presents a framework for a systematic approach for determination of credits and debits and subsequently the compensation ratio. A model for riparian systems is developed based on this framework that evaluates credits and debits for spatial and structural diversity, contiguity of habitats, invasive vegetation, hydrology, topographic complexity, characteristics of flood-prone areas, and biogeochemical processes. The goal of developing this crediting and debiting framework is to provide an alternative to the current methods of determining credits and debits in a mitigation bank and assigning mitigation ratios, such as best professional judgement or use of preset ratios. The purpose of this crediting and debiting framework is to develop a method that (1) can be tailored to evaluate ecological condition based on the target resources of a specific mitigation bank, (2) is flexible enough to be used for evaluation of existing or potential ecologic condition at a mitigation bank, (3) is a structured and systematic way to apply data and professional judgment to the decision-making process, (4) has an ecologically defensible basis, (5) has ease of use such that the level of expertise and time required to employ the method is not a deterrent to its application, and (6) provides a semiquantitative measure of the condition of aquatic resources that can be translated to a mitigation ratio.

JO - Environmental Management JF - Environmental Management Y1 - 2000/04// VL - 25 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 347 EP - 356 SN - 0364152X AB - ABSTRACT / The US Army manages an extensive program of environmental restoration that is carried out primarily under authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), which establishes response authority for cleanup of inactive waste sites. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulates the management and cleanup of hazardous materials at active hazardous waste facilities. Based on the definitions found in these acts, and corresponding promulgated regulations, environmental media contaminated with chemical warfare materiel (CWM) can be regulated as CERCLA “pollutants or contaminants” but do not appear to be regulated either as CERCLA hazardous substances or RCRA hazardous wastes. In those states that have not included CWM as hazardous materials in their RCRA programs, the RCRA requirements for management of hazardous waste would not strictly apply to any of the CWM. The Army has historically implemented procedures requiring that chemical warfare agents be managed as RCRA hazardous waste regardless of the concentration, physical form, or configuration of the agent. Such application of strict hazardous waste requirements to management of potentially nonhazardous CWM can result in remedial costs well out of proportion to potential human health and environmental benefits. Recent development of chronic toxicity values for the CWM has opened the door for development of cleanup and waste management standards for waste streams or media containing small residual amounts of CWM. Implementation of this health-based approach to management of CWM remediation wastes may, in part, help to reduce potentially unnecessary hazardous waste management costs for the nonhazardous CWM.

The two states, for all their collaboration, are seen as too weak, overly economically dependent on the United States, and too historically burdened by past discord to form an effective coalition or anti-American bloc. Indeed, formal American policy has officially welcomed this rapprochement. This optimistic view is based on several fundamental premises of American thinking about international affairs in general and the relationship between these two states and Washington in particular. This article raises criticisms of this complacent assessment of Sino-Russian relations and highlights the erroneous axioms and assumptions behind this thinking.

Such a development is important because point-of-care (POC) glucometers report erroneously high values in the presence of low hematocrit (HCT), potentially masking the presence of hypoglycemia. We hypothesized that most American Burn Association (ABA) verified burn centers have adopted intensive insulin therapy while simultaneously restricting blood transfusions potentially increasing risk of hypoglycemia. All ABA verified burn centers (N = 44) were contacted. Clinical practices regarding intensive insulin therapy, restrictive transfusion practices, and the use of POC glucometers were evaluated. Intensive insulin protocols were implemented at 73% of ABA centers (defined as upper glucose target of < or = 120 mg/dl) and POC glucometers measurement was nearly universal; 95% of ABA centers use them routinely. Anemia is prevalent in intensive care units and may be increasing because of recent changes in practice. Defined hemoglobin and HCT levels trigger blood transfusion at 84% of centers, and of these, 51% restrict transfusion to hemoglobin < 7 g/dl or HCT < 22%. Most ABA centers now use intensive insulin protocols, many in combination with restrictive transfusion strategies. The combination of a higher prevalence of hypoglycemia in the presence of near universal anemia is concerning, particularly given the pervasiveness of glucometer use among burn centers.

How warmer weather impacts runners' regulation of effort (pacing) leading to the decreased performance is poorly understood. Purpose: To determine the influence of air temperature on pacing of runners with differing abilities throughout the marathon. Methods: Race results were obtained from three Japanese Women's championship marathons that included 5 km times, finishing time, and corresponding weather conditions. A total of 62 race years' outcomes were analyzed using the race winner and 25th, 50th, and 100th place finishers. Results: The fastest marathoners (winners) ran an even pace throughout the race while runners of lesser ability slowed as the race progressed, particularly after 20-25 km. The difference between the first (0-5 km) and last (35-40 km) 5-km split times (pace differential) for the 100th place finishers was the same in cool (C = 5-10 degrees C) as warm (W = 15.1-21 degrees C) conditions (C = 199 +/- 45 s; W = 198 +/- 40 s). The pace differential for the 50th place finisher tended to increase with increasing air temperature (C = 115 +/- 16 s; W = 16 3+/- 27 s) but was not significantly different. In contrast, warmer weather resulted in a slowing (P < 0.05) of pace for the 25th place finisher (C = 90 +/- 25 s; W = 191 +/- 20 s) and race winners (C = -22 +/- 14 s; W = 24 +/- 13 s). Conclusions: Increasing air temperatures slow pace more in faster runners (winner, 25th) than slower runners (50th, 100th). These results suggest that the negative effect of warmer weather on the finishing times of slower runners is due to slower running velocities from start to finish, rather than a greater deceleration in pace which is exhibited by faster runners.

This study refines the model with data from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Inpatient health care records of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to OEF and OIF who were admitted with DNBI diagnoses were analyzed. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were compared with rates for Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were lower than those for Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. Rates among the phases of OIF were distinctly different. DNBI admission rates have been reduced during recent deployments. The concepts of the original model based on Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm data were validated by experiences during OEF and OIF. Continuous surveillance of DNBI admission rates is recommended. SN - 0026-4075 AD - U.S. Army Medical Command, Army Medical Department Center and School, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234, USA.

Data were from the nationally representative 2001 National Survey of Veterans (N = 7,907; 3,923 veterans served in Vietnam). Age-stratified (<60 years versus > or =60 years) analyses included multivariate logistic regression. In adjusted analyses, among those <60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had notably poorer self-rated health and higher stroke risk (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.48-1.53); odds of most other conditions were lower. Among those > or =60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had poorer self-rated health, higher cancer risk (odds ratio, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.32-1.35), and more treatment for hypertension, lung conditions, stroke, and hearing loss. Results suggest greater resource use among older veterans who served in Vietnam. Clinicians and the Department of Veterans Affairs should especially note their substantially higher cancer risk.

The current version of the PATGEN model is based on historical major combat operations such as World War II and the Korean War. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference between injury distributions used in the PATGEN model and the injury distributions based on the data from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). To make the comparison feasible, the PATGEN injury categories were created using the Barell Injury Matrix. Analyses were performed using two independent OIF data sources, the Joint Theater Trauma Registry and the Standard Inpatient Data Record. Based on X2 test results, both analyses suggest a significant difference between PATGEN and OIF injury distributions. A major concern is the underestimation by PATGEN of battle injuries with multiple wounds. The findings support future use of data-driven diagnosis-based injury distributions for current operations and new more flexible simulation models that will allow for changes in injury probability distributions.

The objective of this study was to expand upon the previous MHS model to determine predictors of patient satisfaction behaviors based upon associated attitudes and beliefs in addition to determining the predictive qualities presented by continuity of care. A sample of 90,318 patient responses from 2002 to 2004 was drawn from the Customer Satisfaction Survey database. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the uniquely predictive effects of the independent variables on the outcome variable. Results indicated the constructs from previous studies of satisfaction within the MHS using an attitude model were consistent when tested in a behavioral model. Hypothesis tests also indicated continuity of care demonstrated uniquely predictive qualities suggesting inclusion in the model. The final satisfaction with visit model yielded F(29, 90, 288) = 7062.37, p < 0.01 with R2 = 0.694.

Burned patients from the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan, are transported across three continents to our Burn Center with total ground and air transport time being approximately 24 hours spread over 3 days to 4 days. We hypothesized global evacuation results in increased VTE rates. METHODS: Retrospective review of 1,107 consecutive patients admitted to our burn center from January 2003 to December 2005. RESULTS: In the time period evaluated, no detectible differences were found in incidence of VTE between air-evacuated soldiers and those admitted to our facility from South Texas (1.31% vs. 0.83%, p = ns). The air-evacuated soldiers were younger (26 +/- 7 vs. 41 +/- 19, p < 0.0001) but had a higher incidence of inhalation injury (14.4% vs. 8.0%, p < 0.0001) and higher Injury Severity Score (10.9 +/- 13.0 vs. 6.5 +/- 9.2, p < 0.0001). No difference in average percent total body surface area involvement was found (15.8 +/- 19.4 vs. 15.5 +/- 18.4, p = ns). Overall, 11 of 1,107 (0.99%) burned patients developed VTE. CONCLUSION: Prolonged global evacuation is not associated with increased risk of VTE.

However, carbohydrate supplementation may also provide similar benefits and is less expensive. This study compared the effects of an energy-free placebo, 2 different caloric concentrations of carbohydrate drinks, and a CrMH supplement on repeated jump heights. Sixty active males (mean age, 22 +/- 3.2 years) performed 2 sets of countermovement static jump height tests (10 jumps over 60 seconds) separated by 5 days to determine the differential effects of the placebo, carbohydrate, and CrMH on jump height sustainability over 10 jumps. Subjects were randomly assigned to groups (15 subjects per group) to receive daily doses (x5 days) of carbohydrate drinks containing 100 or 250 kilocalories (kcal), a 25-g CrMH supplement, or an energy-free placebo. After 5 days, the CrMH group experienced a significant weight gain (+1.52; +/-0.89 kg, p < 0.01), while the other groups did not. The 2 levels of carbohydrate and CrMH supplements were all significantly better at sustaining jump height than the energy-free placebo over the final 3-4 jumps. The 250-kcal carbohydrate-supplemented group experienced a level of benefit (p < 0.01) that was at least equal to that of the CrMH group (p < 0.05), suggesting that the higher dose of carbohydrate was as effective as CrMH in maintaining repeated bouts of high-intensity activity as measured by repeated static jumps. Given the equivalent performance improvement and the absence of weight gain, the carbohydrate supplementation could be considered the preferred option for weight-conscious power athletes involved in activities that require repeated- motion high-intensity activities.

METHODS:: Eight male subjects walked on a treadmill at 3.5 mph, 4% grade for 100 continuous minutes or until rectal temperature reached 39.5 degrees C on 10 consecutive days in an environmental chamber set at 45 degrees C, 20% relative humidity. Arm sweat samples were collected during the first 30 min of exercise-heat stress on days 1 and 10 using a polyethylene arm glove. RESULTS:: Final core temperature and HR values were significantly lower (P < 0.05) on day 10 versus day 1. Whole-body sweating rates increased by approximately 6% (P = 0.12). Sweat sodium concentration on day 10 (36.22 +/- 7.22 mM) was significantly lower than day 1 (54.49 +/- 16.18 mM) (P < 0.05). Sweat mineral concentrations of calcium ( 29%), copper ( 50%), and magnesium ( 43%) were also significantly lower on day 10 versus day 1 of heat acclimation (P < 0.05). A trend for lower sweat iron ( 75%; P = 0.07) and zinc ( 23%; P = 0.10) concentrations were observed from day 1 to day 10. The estimated hourly sweat mineral losses (arm concentration x whole-body sweat rate) were reduced for calcium ( 27%), copper ( 46%), and magnesium ( 42%) (P < 0.05), but not iron (75%) or zinc ( 16%) (P > 0.05), from day 1 to day 10. CONCLUSION:: Exercise-heat acclimation conserves arm sweat mineral concentrations and possibly whole-body sweat losses of calcium, copper, and magnesium, and may reduce sweat iron and zinc concentrations.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command & Control Evacuation System database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2003 to 2004. The study found 327 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 11/10,000 soldiers per year) and 47 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21/10,000 soldiers per year), for a total of 374 MEDEVACS. Forty-two percent (n = 158) of all oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Another 36% (n = 136) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, caused by acts of war. Twenty-one percent (n = 80) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, mainly caused by motor vehicle accidents and fighting.

Such interviews are critical for recommending individuals for follow-up assessment and care. To standardize the interview process, U.S. Army Medical Research Unit-Europe developed a structured interview guide, designed in response to both clinical requirements and research findings. The guide includes sections on depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship problems, alcohol problems, and sleep problems. In addition, there is an open-ended section on other problems and a section for case dispositions. Data from a 2005 blinded validation study with soldiers returning from a 1-year-long combat deployment are included to demonstrate the utility of the structured interview. Guidelines and implementation considerations for the use of the structured interview are discussed.

We investigated the effects of resuscitation with this fluid, as well as other colloids, on coagulation and uncontrolled bleeding in rabbits subjected to a splenic injury. METHODS:: Anesthetized male New Zealand white rabbits (3.3 kg +/- 0.2 kg) were divided into three groups and subjected to hypothermia (35 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees C) and approximately 40% isovolemic blood exchange (hemodilution) with Hextend (H); Dextran70 (D); or 5% human albumin (A) solution (n = 8/group). Complete blood count, arterial blood gas, and coagulation values were measured before and after hemodilution. Laparotomy was performed and a standard splenic injury causing uncontrolled hemorrhage was made. Rabbits were resuscitated (25 mL/kg) with the same colloid used for hemodilution to restore baseline blood pressure. Animals were monitored for 2 hours or until death. Blood loss and survival times were measured. RESULTS:: There were no differences among groups in pH, Hct, fibrinogen, or platelets before or after hemodilution. Hct, fibrinogen, and platelets were reduced by 45% to 60% in all groups. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time were prolonged in all the rabbits with the greatest increase in A group. Thrombelastograph (TEG) analysis showed longer initial reaction (R) and clotting (K) times, slower clotting rate and lower clot strength in H and D than A diluted blood. R time was faster and K time remained unchanged in A group after hemodilution. Thrombin generation potential and peak concentration of thrombin were unchanged in A samples but significantly reduced in H and D diluted samples. Subsequent splenic injury led to almost equal blood losses ( approximately 54 +/- 1 mL/kg) in H and D groups, which were higher (p < 0.01) than in A rabbits (37 +/- 4 mL/kg). This resulted in death of 100% (H), 75% (D), and 50% (A) of the rabbits with significant difference in survival time among the groups. CONCLUSION:: TEG and thrombin generation assays identified more severe coagulopathy development with H and D than A dilution, whereas plasma PT and activated partial thromboplastin time measurements did not differentiate between these colloids. These results suggest that resuscitation with albumin maintained coagulation function, decreased blood loss, and improved survival time compared with the synthetic colloids.

This study tested the hypothesis that pulmonary end-tidal CO(2) (PETCO(2)) tracks reductions in central blood volume in human volunteers exposed to progressive central hypovolemia. Methods. Measurements of PETCO(2), systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial (MAP) blood pressures, heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), and respiratory rate (RR) were obtained in 50 healthy human subjects during baseline supine rest and exposure to progressive reductions of central blood volume produced by application of lower body negative pressure (LBNP). Results. As increasing amounts of LBNP were applied, SBP, DBP, MAP, HR, SV, and PETCO(2) decreased (p < 0.001). RR was not altered (p = 1.0). The decrease in PETCO(2) did not begin to occur until 40% of maximal LBNP was applied. While PETCO(2) decreased progressively thereafter, the range of baseline values (28.8-49.2 mmHg) varied more than the reduction in PETCO(2) elicited by maximal LBNP (baseline = 40.1 +/- 0.6 mmHg; maximal LBNP = 29.8 +/- 1.0 mmHg). The earliest significant alteration was observed in SV, which occurred at 20% of maximal LBNP. MAP did not decline significantly until 80% of maximal LBNP was reached. PETCO(2) was correlated positively with SV (r(2) = 0.87). Conclusions. Although PETCO(2)tracked decreases in SV in this human model of progressive central hypovolemia, reductions in PETCO(2)were small relative to the range of baseline values. Thus, monitoring such small reductions in PETCO(2) as an early warning of imminent cardiovascular collapse during hemorrhage may not be clinically useful without monitors capable of providing continuous trending.

Manual assessment of radial arterial pulse character remains an important determinant of physiological status in military and civilian casualties. This study hypothesized that changes in radial pulse character and mental status (presyncopal symptoms) in humans occur only during the later stages of progressive reductions in central blood volume in close association with systolic blood pressure (SBP). Methods. Pulse character (i.e., normal, weak, absent), estimated stroke volume (SV), SBP, and diastolic blood pressure were measured continuously during baseline supine rest and during progressive reductions of central blood volume to cardiovascular collapse with application of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) in 19 healthy human volunteer subjects. Results. LBNP resulted in a progressive reduction in SV. At early stages of LBNP, both radial pulse character and SBP were well-maintained. Although both radial pulse character and SBP decreased with subsequent increases in LBNP, these changes occurred only after an approximate 55% reduction in SV and were associated with the onset of presyncopal symptoms. Changes in mental status did not occur until the point of cardiovascular collapse. Conclusions. In this model of progressive central hypovolemia secondary to application of LBNP in humans, radial pulse character score decreased in concert and was highly correlated with decreases in SBP. In support of our hypothesis, changes in pulse character, SBP, and mental status occurred only after significant reductions in SV, suggesting that these standard vital signs may not be early indicators of central hypovolemia.

Inherent in the survival of casualties with such devastating injuries is both the risk for invasive infections and the need for complex reconstruction. We report a series of two combat casualties sustaining the constellation of catastrophic pelviperineal blast injury, anal sphincter complex destruction, complicated by invasive fungal infection managed with completion proctectomy. Our experience, although lacking numbers to qualify as high-level evidence to guide care, will assist future surgeons' care for similar patients.

There is a question whether IO-administered epinephrine is equivalent to intravenously administered epinephrine during CA. METHODS: The question guiding this evidence-based review was as follows: in adults suffering CA given epinephrine via the IO route, what is the resulting serum concentration of the drug compared to when administered intravenously? A search was conducted and the evidence appraised and leveled. RESULTS: Four animal studies met the inclusion criteria. The sources showed no definitive evidence supporting equivalence between intravenous and IO epinephrine administered during CA. Intravenously administered epinephrine provides increased and faster appearing serum concentrations than IO-administered epinephrine. Evidence indicated epinephrine given via the sternal IO route more closely approaches equivalence with intravenously administered epinephrine than when administered by the tibial IO route. CONCLUSIONS: The clinician should consider using proximal IO infusion sites such as the sternum or humerus when administering advanced cardiac life support drugs to rapidly achieve maximal therapeutic concentrations. Further studies are needed to determine the differences seen when epinephrine is administered by these routes during CA.

AB - Researchers have found that there is an increase in mental heath problems as a result of military-related traumatic events, and such problems increase in the months following return from combat. Nevertheless, researchers have not assessed the impact of early intervention efforts with this at-risk population. In the present study, the authors compared different early interventions with 2,297 U.S. soldiers following a year-long deployment to Iraq. Platoons were randomly assigned to standard postdeployment stress education, Battlemind debriefing, and small and large group Battlemind training. Results from a 4-month follow-up with 1,060 participants showed those with high levels of combat exposure who received Battlemind debriefing reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression symptoms, and sleep problems than those in stress education. Small group Battlemind training participants with high combat exposure reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms and sleep problems than stress education participants. Compared to stress education participants, large group Battlemind training participants with high combat exposure reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms and lower levels of stigma and, regardless of combat exposure, reported fewer depression symptoms. Findings demonstrate that brief early interventions have the potential to be effective with at-risk occupational groups. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Videogames are emerging as an increasingly popular training tool in the military. Given this trend, it is important to investigate factors that maximize the effectiveness of this training medium. The present research analyzed the impact of trainee attributes (i.e., prior videogame experience, videogame self-efficacy, and goal orientation) on game-based training outcomes. Participants completed a game-based tactics training exercise. The training exercise used America's Army, a first-person-perspective videogame with a single-player section to introduce game-specific tasks, followed by a multiplayer section where participants form small teams to conduct collaborative missions. Prior to and after the training exercise, participants completed online questionnaires. Results suggest that the trainee attributes, as a set, had a positive impact on trainee motivation, trainee satisfaction, ease in using the training game interface, metacognitive strategies utilized during training, and time spent engaging in the training game. These findings have implications for instructors using videogames as training tools. Recommendations for future research in this area are provided.

As few studies have examined this relationship over time, the authors conducted a six-wave longitudinal study examining the relationship of soldiers’ indiscipline with work demands and control. The study included archival data collected quarterly over 2 years from 1,701 soldiers representing 10 units in garrison (Germany and Italy), in training rotations (Grafenwoehr, Germany), and on peacekeeping deployments (Kosovo, Kuwait). No main effects were found for work overload, and the findings for the moderating effects of control were contradictory. Within each time point, as work overload increased, soldiers who felt less control committed more indiscipline, supporting CRT. Over time, however, as work overload increased, soldiers who perceived less control 6 months earlier committed less indiscipline. Additionally, the authors found reverse causal effects for control such that prior perceptions of a lack of control were associated with indiscipline and prior incidents of indiscipline with less control.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - To better understand the adaptive capabilities of junior Army leaders, we applied an existing nine-dimension adaptability model to critical incidents of leader behaviors. We examined interview data from two samples of U.S. Army leaders (40 combat veterans and 24 training facilitators). The adaptive behaviors performed most in combat reflected the Deals with Unpredictability and Handles Emergencies dimensions, whereas in training contexts they reflected the Leads Adaptive Teams and Solves Problems Creatively dimensions.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Building on earlier research that used a “capabilities/benevolence” framework to examine an “embracing change” disposition, the current investigation extended previous cadet-based findings to a sample of company- and field-grade military officers. We hypothesized that officers with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others would hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the officer’s general dispositional resistance to change. As with the earlier cadet results, the findings confirmed the hypothesis for learning orientation but not for trust. Discussion focused on the utility of acquiring a better understanding of an embracing change disposition and on the value of salting individuals with high learning orientations throughout the organization. Additionally, for future research, we consider the importance of employing multiple and diverse methods when exploring the embracing change construct. Such methodological expansion will undoubtedly reduce some conceptual ambiguities associated with the current study. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

Sherman remarked that, although he had known Ulysses S. Grant for years, "to me he is a mystery, and I believe he is a mystery to himself." Over the last quarter-century many authors have claimed to have solved or at least shed fresh light on the mystery of Grant. For the most part, they have portrayed Grant as a great general and good man, dissenting strongly with the highly negative portrayal of Grant contained in William S. McFeely's 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning study. This essay traces the evolution of Grant scholarship since 1981 and suggests possible lines of inquiry for future Grant scholars.

During these years, however, the Army suffered from a crippling manpower dilemma, both in quantity and in quality, the result of a limited national mobilization and President Harry S. Truman's decision to cut the Army's budget without cutting its missions. This dilemma adversely affected combat effectiveness, readiness, and morale. For some career soldiers, the stresses of this period exposed aspects of the Army's institutional culture that they found disturbing.

The time-dependent, three dimensional, scalar radiative transport equation is solved (to a high degree analytically and then numerically) for strong forward scattering of a pulsed collimated beam wave in a strong forward scattering environment such as a forest at mm-wave frequencies. The problem analyzed is that of a periodic sequence of Gaussian pulses incident from free space onto a forest region. The forest is modeled as a half-space of randomly distributed particles that scatter and absorb electromagnetic energy. The incident pulse train is taken to be a collimated (cylindrical) beam wave. The theory allows for a comprehensive characterization of the influence of vegetation on the propagation of pulsed beam waves, which includes a description of the attenuation of these beams, their angular spread, their distortion due to pulse broadening, and the determination of out-of-the-beam scattering which was not previously available. The model should be useful for frequencies above 3 GHz.

The biasing effect for langasite resonators is crucial for resonator design. In this article, the resonant frequency shift of a thickness-mode langasite resonator is analyzed with respect to a direct current (DC) electric field applied in the thickness direction. The vibration modes of a thin langasite plate fully coated with an electrode are analyzed. The analysis is based on the theory for small fields superposed on a bias in electroelastic bodies and the first-order perturbation integral theory. The electroelastic effect of the resonator is analyzed by both analytical and finite-element methods. The complete set of nonlinear elastic, piezoelectric, dielectric permeability, and electrostrictive constants of langasite is used in the theoretical and numerical analysis. The sensitivity of electroelastic effect to nonlinear material constants is analyzed.

MARS is a flexible regression technique that uses a modified recursive partitioning strategy to simplify high-dimensional problems into smaller yet highly accurate models. Combining MARS and RSM improves the conventional RSM by addressing highly nonlinear high-dimensional problems that can be simplified into lower dimensions, yet maintains a low computational cost and better interpretability when compared to neural networks and generalized additive models. MARS/RSM is also compared to simulated annealing and genetic algorithms in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy. The MARS/RSM procedure is applied to a set of low-dimensional test functions to demonstrate its convergence and limiting properties.

This sample size determination is very important because the reliability of the sampled vehicles should represent the reliability of the entire fleet. Smaller-than-required sample sizes may lead to an incorrect representation of the reliability of the fleet, which may mislead the Army to make poor decisions, such as deploying a fleet that may not be reliable. These type II errors can be minimized by incorporating a more realistic sampling methodology, as developed in this research. Prior to using this methodology, analytical formulas were used to compute reliability sample sizes with unit-to-unit variation assumed to be constant. This new methodology confirms the analytically derived solutions for fixed usage & true failure rate, as well as for fixed usage & varying vehicle true failure rate. Existing reliability data shows that unit-to-unit variation does exist. Vehicle variation in true failure rate is modeled with a Gamma prior distribution. Recent reliability data are used to validate the hypothesis that this is an adequate tool for reliability sampling when unit-to-unit variation exists. Results of this validation accept the hypothesis, validating that the methodology is an adequate tool. The Army is currently using this methodology for fleet assessment.

In this paper, we analyze the modal propagation of GPR pulses through a layer of ice that is overlying water. Dispersed transverse electric (TE) waves that are trapped in the waveguide have larger amplitudes than the critically refracted waves that travel through air, whereas the transverse magnetic (TM) critically refracted waves traveling through air are more dominant than the trapped dispersed TM waves. This can be explained by the leaky waveguide behavior of the ice layer. The reflection coefficients for the waves incident on the ice-water interface show that the TM modes are more leaky than the TE modes. Still, clear dispersion is observed in both cases, which depends on the permittivity and thickness of the ice. Similar to inversion of dispersed Rayleigh waves, these parameters can be estimated by calculating phase-velocity spectra, picking dispersion curves, and inverting the dispersion curves using a combined local and global minimization procedure. Synthetic data show several higher order modes of which separate and combined inversions return the input modeling parameters accurately. Experimental data acquired on a frozen lake show strong dispersion for the TE and TM modes. The phase-velocity spectra of the field data show three TE and four TM modes of which separate and combined inversion of different modes return similar values for the ice thickness and known permittivity of ice. Due to the more leaky behavior of the TM modes, the TE inversion is better constrained and more suitable for inversion.

The CoSMIR is a total-power radiometer that measures radiation at nine channels over the frequency range of 50-183 GHz. The instrument employs a two-axis gimbaled mechanism to generate the conical scan with periodic calibration. Its scan geometry is software programmable and can be designed to serve the scientific requirements of an experiment. A series of CoSMIR flights was conducted over the coastal regions of California in March and December of 2004, in which the instrument was programmed to acquire both conical and across-track scan data sets simultaneously. Two of these flights on March 25 and December 2 contained segments over the snow-covered Sierra Mountain Range and were selected to demonstrate the novel features of this new instrument.

The operating principle takes advantage of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic (PM-FM) phase transition mediated by the itinerant holes in the DMS QD that can lead to electrically controlled Write/Erase operations. Nonvolatility can be achieved when the structure is properly designed to reach a thermodynamic equilibrium at both the PM and FM configurations (i.e., bistability). Assuming a parabolic confining potential in the QD, the performance characteristics of the proposed nano-structure are analyzed including the scalability and the lifetime. An advantage of this memory concept is the extremely small dissipative energy for Write/Erase functions due to the open-circuit nature of the process. A readout scheme enabling electrical detection, with the repetition rate up to the 10–100-MHz range, is also explored by utilizing only two contacts. Finally, a potential application of the proposed memory cell is discussed as a rudimentary device for logic AND and OR operations.

The discussion was purposefully narrow in its scope, but other literature should be considered to properly frame the larger question of cohesion's function in military settings. Specifically, current and future discussions should acknowledge: (1) the primary function of cohesion as revealed in historical and observational accounts of soldiers in combat; (2) emergent similarities between social support and cohesion, which support the notion that cohesion acts as a moderator rather than a main effect of performance; and (3) findings from a recent meta-analysis that contradict those of Mullen and Cooper. Viewing cohesion's relation to performance as indirect rather than direct has very different and important implications for research, applications, and expected effects of cohesion on group performance.

It is often referred to in intellectual shorthand as the primacy of policy. This article questions the extent to which emphasis on the primacy of policy has been overstressed, influenced perhaps by the strategic context of the Cold War. Clausewitz's trinitarian concept of war—hostility, chance, political purpose—which appears in what scholars generally agree is On War's only finished chapter, does not portray policy as more dominant than the other tendencies; instead, it presents them as equals, stressing only each one's uniqueness in relation to the others. Reinterpreting policy as equal to the other two aspects of the trinity tends to strengthen the relevance of Clausewitz's overall theory to contemporary wars.

This commentary takes exception to certain statements and conclusions in King's article, and in the process, sketches a standard model of military group cohesion. This model is based on social integration in the military and is composed of both primary group cohesion (peer and leader bonding) and secondary group cohesion (organizational and institutional bonding). The essence of peer bonding is given as social relationships based on trust and teamwork. The standard model is presented as a tool to sensitize ethnographers about what to look for when observing military interactions and to help them interpret what they see.

In climates with a near balance in the annual heating and cooling loads, they function essentially as a seasonal energy storage scheme. This paper presents an overview of the technology. The various types of geothermal heat pumps are explained along with their relative merits. Detailed discussion is included on the most common method of ground coupling for commercial scale applications, the vertical borehole heat exchanger. Issues with sizing the heat exchanger and grouting it are discussed, as well as the motivation for in situ thermal properties testing. In-building equipment, including the heat pumps themselves, is briefly described. Experience with geothermal heat pumps to date is presented for both residential and commercial scale applications. Regional market penetration and competitiveness are also discussed for both residential and commercial scale applications. The paper concludes that the overall outlook for expanded application of geothermal heat pumps is very favorable.

Overall, there seems to be strong support for a threshold of around 15 Hz for many tasks, including those that are psychomotor and perceptual in nature. Less impressive yet acceptable performance may be accomplished at around 10 Hz for many tasks. Subjective reactions to the quality and watchability of videos seem to support rates of 5 Hz, although videos presented at 15 Hz and above are generally more widely preferred. These generalizations regarding superior and acceptable FRs may also be subject to the effects of several moderating factors such as display characteristics, nature of the tasks, viewing condition, additional cues, and user experience.

These indexes include the expected performance of optimal and suboptimal strategies, the benefit of explicitly considering uncertainty, and the benefit of additional information. This paper quantifies the effects on these indexes of simplifying assumptions, including discretization of the decision space, omission of some decision variables and uncertainties from the decision tree, and disregarding of risk aversion. To reduce errors arising from discretization of the decision space, we use a multidimensional cubic spline to interpolate the performance of alternatives between a few simulated points. A case study analyzes decisions concerning phosphorus loading, fisheries management, and lower trophic research projects in Lake Erie under multiple criteria and ecological uncertainties. Results show that spline-based solutions often yield potentially superior decisions from those based on discretized decision spaces, but that omitting important uncertainties makes more of a difference in this case study's decisions and indexes than simplifying the decision space. On the other hand, incorrect multicriteria weights affect the case study's outcomes more than incorrect probabilities.

S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is evaluating silicon carbide thyristors to determine the extent of silicon carbide capabilities as a possible replacement for silicon in future pulsed switching applications. Individual SiC die measuring 4 mm × 4 mm were pulsed at high temperatures and varying pulse widths. At 150 °C, these thyristors were switched in an RLC circuit up to 3.2 kA and repetitively pulsed at 2.6 kA and 5 Hz for greater than 14,000 pulses. A pulse forming network (PFN) was designed to increase the pulse width and the action seen by the SiC devices. At ambient temperature and a peak current of 2 kA, SIC thyristors were switched in the PFN at a 50% pulse width of 40 µs and an action of 150 A²s. These devices were also pulsed at narrower pulse widths in pairs to look at their behavior in parallel. One pair reached a peak total current of 6.7 kA with current sharing as good as 51% / 49%. This paper includes further data on the three aforementioned test procedures, as well as analysis of the devices' failure points.

The suspended sediment volume per unit horizontal area is estimated using the computed energy dissipation rates due to wave breaking and bottom friction. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is estimated as the product of the longshore current and suspended sediment volume. The developed model is compared with limited field and laboratory data. The calibrated model is in fair agreement with the data. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is shown to be approximately proportional to the square of the longshore current. The developed model appears promising but will need to be evaluated using extensive data sets.

The energy dissipation rate due to irregular breaking waves is estimated using an existing formula that is modified for intense wave breaking on the steep seaward slope of the breakwater. This computationally efficient numerical model is an extension of the existing time-averaged model which is widely used to predict irregular breaking wave transformation on impermeable beaches. The developed model is shown to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation measured in a laboratory experiment where a submerged porous breakwater was placed on a gentle impermeable slope. The agreement for the measured horizontal velocity is marginal partly because this one-dimensional model does not predict the vertical velocity variation. This semiempirical model calibrated using the present experiment will need to be compared with additional experiments.

These alternators have similar but not identical electrical characteristics. The original goal was to use these alternators to simulate a two-machine pulsed alternator system to study thyristor converter operation, with the two machines electrically connected at the output (dc side) of the thyristor (SCR) converter. Additional experiments were also run with the two alternators electrically connected at the input (ac side) of the thyristor converter. In the experiments, control algorithms were developed to test self-excitation and to discharge pulsed energy into various types of loads—resistive, inductive, and capacitive—to evaluate energy sharing from each alternator. Negative resistance circuits were implemented to adjust the field winding time constant of each alternator to achieve correct resistance/reactance ratio of full-scale pulsed alternators and to achieve equal energy discharge from each alternator.

The rail gun is modeled as a beam of finite length sitting on an elastic foundation with cantilevered support at the breech end of rails. The structural response of the rail is governed by a transient fourth-order differential equation with an extra term of elastic support (containment and insulator) subjected to a transient forcing function (a moving magnetic pressure). The complete solution of the governing equation is derived and illustrated in details. The displacement solution can be further derived to obtain strain and stress profile as well as dynamic response of the rail gun. This paper mainly reports the theoretic solution which provides a step forward to predict the dynamic behavior of rail guns.

Often composed of thousands of precision sheet metal laminates to prevent induced eddy currents, the launchers are labor intensive to build. The backbone railgun provides a monolithic metallic containment structure. Induced eddy currents are inhibited by the introduction of a large number of slits along the length of the launcher that achieve an effect analogous to traditional laminates. It is anticipated that the machining of slits from a monolithic launcher will lend itself to factory automation far more so than assembling a full length launcher from thousands of individual metal laminates. The principal advantages are: 1) elimination of stack-up tolerances; 2) producibility; and 3) stiffness. This paper will refine the concept and include an assessment of its ability to achieve magnetic transparency relative to traditional designs.

AB - Reports the retraction of 'The relationship between authentic leadership and follower job performance: The mediating role of follower positivity in extreme contexts' by Suzanne J. Peterson, Fred O. Walumbwa, Bruce J. Avolio and Sean T. Hannah (The Leadership Quarterly, 2012[Jun], Vol 23[3], 502-516). This article has been retracted at the request of the Senior Editor. After concerns were raised about possible problems of reporting in this paper, the Senior Editor consulted with the two previous Senior Editors of The Leadership Quarterly and a methodologist (M1) (not the claimant) to assess the seriousness of the allegations and to make a preliminary determination concerning the allegations’ merits. All concurred that there were serious problems in this paper. The methodologist (M1) prepared a report outlining the problems and this report was forwarded to a second methodologist (M2) to confirm the correctness of methods used by the first methodologist to detect the problems. The second methodologist attested to the correctness of the first methodologist’s analyses. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2012-01697-001[/rid]). Although theory suggests a link between authentic leadership style and follower positivity and performance, little empirical research exists to confirm this notion. Given that scholars have suggested that leadership studies have generally failed to adequately address or include organizational context in prior research, we examine whether two measures of follower positivity—positive emotions and psychological capital—mediate the relationship between authentic leadership and follower job performance in two potentially extreme contexts (i.e., a police and military organization). After first explaining why extreme contexts provide a setting whereby authentic leaders play a more direct role in impacting the positivity of followers, we test several hypotheses. Results of two studies indicated that the frequency of authentic leadership behavior exhibited by leaders was positively related to followers' job performance, and this relationship was partially mediated through followers' positive emotions (Study 1) and fully mediated through leaders' influence on followers' psychological capital (Study 2).

The correct values are as follows: CFI=.42, NFI=.43, IFI=.45 and RMSEA=.47.] Issues regarding workplace spirituality have received increased attention in the organizational sciences. The implications of workplace spirituality for leadership theory, research, and practice make this a fast growing area of new research and inquiry by scholars. The purpose of this research was to test a dynamic relationship between spiritual leadership and spiritual well-being (i.e., a sense of calling and membership), and key organizational outcomes in a sample of emerging military leaders. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), results revealed a positive and significant relationship between spiritual leadership and several unit-level outcomes, including organizational commitment and four measures of performance. These relationships were explained or mediated by spiritual well-being. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

There were four indications of the positive reinforcing effect of nicotine: (1) a greater number of lever presses when nicotine was response-contingent compared to when saline was available; (2) a greater number of responses on the lever resulting in an infusion of nicotine than on the control lever; (3) systematic decreases in the number of contingent nicotine infusions when nicotine was delivered noncontingently; and (4) systematic changes in the frequency of lever pressing as a function of dose. Under a fixed ratio 1 (FR 1) schedule, the number of infusions first increased and then decreased as the dose of nicotine was decreased (64, 32, 16, and 8 μg/kg infusion) and nicotine intake (mg/kg every 24 h) was directly related to the infusion dose. As the FR size was increased from 1 to 6, the number of lever presses increased and the number of infusions (32 μg/kg) remained stable. At FR values greater than 6, both the number of lever presses and infusions decreased. Presession injections of mecamylamine (0.75, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) decreased the number of infusions in a dose-related manner. Presession injections of hexamethonium (1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) or naloxone (0.75, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) did not alter the within- or between-session patterns of nicotine self-administration. Under the conditions of the present experiment, nicotine served as an effective reinforcer and the behavior was shown to be sensitive to both FR size and infusion dose. In addition, the results suggest that nicotine self-administration involves central nicotinic receptors and that opioid receptor antagonism has no effect on nicotine's reinforcing effects in rats.

AB - Critical Care Air Transport Teams (CCATTs) have evolved as a vital component of the U.S. Air Force's aeromedical evacuation system. Previous epidemiological research in this area is limited. The objective of this commentary is to highlight the importance of obtaining robust epidemiological data regarding patients transported by CCATTs. A limited epidemiological analysis was performed to describe CCATT patients transported during Operation Enduring Freedom and the waning months of Operation Iraqi Freedom. CCATT transports for the calendar year 2011 were examined as recorded in the U.S. Transportation Command Regulating and Command and Control (C2) Evacuation System database. As many as 290 CCATT primary patient transport records were reviewed. Of these, 58.6% of patients had multiple injuries, 15.9% of patients had traumatic brain injury, 7% had acute coronary syndromes, and 24.8% of all transports were for nonbattle-related injuries. The most common International Classification of Disease, 9th Edition, Clinical Modification coded injury was bilateral lower extremity amputation (40%). Explosive blasts were the top mechanism of injury for patients requiring CCAT. The distribution of injuries and illnesses requiring CCAT appear to have changed compared to previous conventional conflicts. Understanding the epidemiology of casualties evacuated by CCATT during modern warfare is a prerequisite for the development of effective predeployment training to ensure optimal outcomes for critically ill and injured warriors.

AB - Soldiers from a brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, were alleged to have committed numerous crimes, including murder of civilians, during a recent deployment. This study was done to assist the command with (1) analyzing the climate and challenges facing redeploying Soldiers; (2) assessing behavioral risk at both individual and unit levels through targeted reintegration screening; and (3) recommending mitigating strategies to enhance current reintegration processes and reduce the level of high-risk behavior among Soldiers following deployment. The findings from this public health investigation suggest levels of risk and major areas of concern during the redeployment period varied across battalions within the brigade and that risk stratification postdeployment was not correlated with discernible differences in predeployment indicators. Acts of violence were limited to the deployment and immediate postdeployment periods and were allegedly perpetrated by a very small number of Soldiers.

The corrections are present in the erratum.] Objectives: The U.S. health care system is facing a projected nursing shortage of unprecedented magnitude. Although military nursing services recently have been able to meet their nursing recruitment quotas, national studies have predicted a long-term nursing shortage that may affect future recruitment for the Nurse Corps of the three military services. Data are needed to plan for recruitment incentives and the impact of those incentives on targeted populations of likely future nurses. Methods: Data are drawn from three online surveys conducted in 2011-2012, including surveys of 1,302 Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel serving on major military bases, 914 nursing students at colleges with entry Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs located nearby major military bases, and a qualitative survey of 1,200 young adults, age 18-39, in the general public. Findings: The three populations are different in several demographic characteristics. We explored perceptions of military careers, nursing careers and barriers, and incentives to pursue military nursing careers in all populations. Perceptions differ among the groups. Conclusion: The results of this study may help to inform strategies for reaching out to specific populations with targeted messages that focus on barriers and facilitators relevant to each to successfully recruit a diverse Nurse Corps for the future.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 449 EP - 460 SN - 00189545 AB - To secure a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in adversarial environments, a particularly challenging problem is how to feasibly detect and defend possible attacks on routing protocols, particularly internal attacks, such as a Byzantine attack. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that detects internal attacks by using both message and route redundancy during route discovery. The route-discovery messages are protected by pairwise secret keys between a source and destination and some intermediate nodes along a route established by using public key cryptographic mechanisms. We also propose an optimal routing algorithm with routing metric combining both requirements on a node's trustworthiness and performance. A node builds up the trustworthiness on its neighboring nodes based on its observations on the behaviors of the neighbor nodes. Both of the proposed algorithms can be integrated into existing routing protocols for MANETs, such as ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) and dynamic source routing (DSR). As an example, we present such an integrated protocol called secure routing against collusion (SRAC), in which a node makes a routing decision based on its trust of its neighboring nodes and the performance provided by them. The simulation results have demonstrated the significant advantages of the proposed attack detection and routing algorithm over some known protocols.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 367 EP - 380 SN - 00189545 AB - Wireless platforms are becoming less expensive and more powerful, enabling the promise of widespread use for every- thing from health monitoring to military sensing. Like other networks, sensor networks are vulnerable to malicious attack. However, the hardware simplicity of these devices makes defense mechanisms designed for traditional networks infeasible. This paper explores the denial-of-sleep attack, in which a sensor node's power supply is targeted. Attacks of this type can reduce the sensor lifetime from years to days and have a devastating impact on a sensor network. This paper classifies sensor network denial-of-sleep attacks in terms of an attacker's knowledge of the medium access control (MAC) layer protocol and ability to bypass authentication and encryption protocols. Attacks from each classification are then modeled to show the impacts on four sensor network MAC protocols, i.e., Sensor MAC (S-MAC), Timeout MAC (T-MAC), Berkeley MAC (B-MAC), and Gateway MAC (G-MAC). Implementations of selected attacks on S-MAC, T-MAC, and B-MAC are described and analyzed in detail to validate their effectiveness and analyze their efficiency. Our analysis shows that the most efficient attack on S-MAC can keep a cluster of nodes awake 100% of the time by an attacker that sleeps 99% of the time. Attacks on T-MAC can keep victims awake 100% of the time while the attacker sleeps 92% of the time. A framework for preventing denial-of-sleep attacks in sensor networks is also introduced. With full protocol knowledge and an ability to penetrate link-layer encryption, all wireless sensor network MAC protocols are susceptible to a full domination attack, which reduces the network lifetime to the mini- mum possible by maximizing the power consumption of the nodes' radio subsystem. Even without the ability to penetrate encryption, subtle attacks can be launched, which reduce the network lifetime by orders of magnitude. If sensor networks are to meet current expectations, they must be robust in the face of network attacks to include denial-of-sleep.

We present the details of our design and the results of our characterization. Our instrument operates over the X- and Ku-bands (8-18 GHz). Digital signal processing techniques are used to provide robustness against instrumentation drifts and offsets. The economized version of our instrument can detect, with sufficient correlation efficiency, noise signals having power levels as low as 10 fW. The modularity of our design allows one to easily alter the specifications (such as the bandwidth and the sensitivity) by simply replacing individual components.

However, from a modeling perspective, before the benefits of such a strategy can be attained, we must first be able to quantitatively characterize the behavior of the model coefficients as well as the model predictions as a function of prediction horizon. We need to determine if the model coefficients reflect viable physiologic dependencies of the individual glycemic measurements and whether the model is stable with respect to small changes in noise levels, leading to accurate near-future predictions with negligible time lag. We assessed the behavior of linear autoregressive data-driven models developed under three possible modeling scenarios, using continuous glucose measurements of nine subjects collected on a minute-by-minute basis for approximately 5 days. Simulation results indicated that stable and accurate models for near-future glycemic predictions (<60 mm) with clinically acceptable time lags are attained only when the raw glucose measurements are smoothed and the model coefficients are regularized. This study provides a starting point for further needed investigations before real-time deployment can be considered.

The techniques include a first-principles, physiology-based (SCE- NARIO) model, a purely data-driven model, and a hybrid model that combines first-principles and data-driven components to provide an early, short-term (20-30 mm ahead) warning of an impending heat injury. Their performance is investigated using two distinct datasets, a Field study and a Laboratory study. The results indicate that, for up to a 30 mm prediction horizon, the purely data-driven model is the most accurate technique, followed by the hybrid. For this prediction horizon, the first-principles SCE. NARIO model produces root mean square prediction errors that are twice as large as those obtained with the other two techniques. Another important finding is that, if properly regularized and developed with representative data, data-driven and hybrid models can be made "portable" from individual to individual and across studies, thus significantly reducing the need for collecting developmental data and constructing and tuning individual-specific models.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices JF - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 55 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2061 EP - 2070 SN - 00189383 AB - A methodology for characterizing the transient response of 4H-SiC MOSFETs has been developed. The method combines new physical models, simulation techniques, and experiment to provide insight into the details of MOSFET time-dependent dynamics. A new physical model for generation- recombination between interface traps and channel electrons was derived, facilitating the analysis of trap dynamics in the energy, space, and time domains. A set of algorithms was developed, which enabled these rates to be incorporated into the drift-diffusion model so that their effect on the switching of 4H-SiC MOSFETs could be numerically evaluated. The correlation of simulated and experimental dc and transient drain current allowed the extraction of the density and the effective capture cross sections of interface traps. It was found that states near the band edge would become occupied much more quickly and had a much larger effective capture cross section than those that were several tenths of an electronvolt away from the band edge. This has led to the conclusion that the fast traps with large capture cross sections are likely to be interface states, whereas the traps with the smaller capture cross sections are a combination of midgap interface states and oxide traps. The observation of trap dynamics suggests that improvements in long-term device stability can be achieved by reducing oxide traps, whereas short-term stability can be improved by the reduction of interface traps.

The model has been verified for an extensive range of bias conditions and temperatures. It incorporates details of interface trap densities, Coulombic interface trap scattering, surface roughness scattering, phonon scattering, velocity saturation, and their dependences on bias and temperature. The physics-based models were implemented into our device simulator that is tailored for 4H-SiC MOSFET analysis. By using a methodology of numerical modeling, simulation, and close correlation with experimental data, values for various physical parameters governing the operation of 4H-SiC MOSFETs, including the temperature-dependent interface trap density of states, the root-mean-square height and correlation length of the surface roughness, and the electron saturation velocity in the channel and its dependence on temperature, have been extracted. Coulomb scattering and surface roughness scattering limit surface mobility for a wide range of temperatures in the subthreshold and linear regions of device operation, whereas the saturation velocity and the high-field mobility limit current in the saturation region.

This effect has a strong measurement time dependence. For example, a 20-μs-long gate ramp used to measure the I-V characteristic and extract a threshold voltage was found to result in a VT instability three to four times greater than that measured with a 1-s-long gate ramp. The VT instability was three times greater in devices that did not receive a NO postoxidation anneal compared with those that did. This instability effect is consistent with electrons directly tunneling in and out of near-interfacial oxide traps, which in irradiated Si MOS was attributed to border traps.

At the United States Military Academy at West Point, wireless laptop computers have become a permanent part of the classroom and have changed our approach to teaching. Over the last five years, we have made a concerted effort to find the improve- ments technology has to offer and to steer clear of the pitfalls technology can bring to the classroom. Our method of teaching a calculus-based probability and statistics course has evolved into a data-oriented approach to understanding distributions. We present some methods we have developed that use spreadsheets and mathematical software systems to create an environment that helps students understand the foundations of probability theory and statistical inference.

This is somewhat surprising given that effective leadership requires high levels of agency (i.e., deliberately or intentionally exerting positive influence) and confidence. This review uses existing theory and research on leader efficacy as a point of departure for proposing an expanded and multi-level framework for understanding the domain of leadership efficacy that includes leader, follower, and collective efficacies. The primary goals are to provide a conceptual framework to stimulate future theory and research on building efficacious leadership and to understand how such leadership develops and has implications for effective performance.

T1 - A probabilistic framework for weather-based rerouting and delay estimations within an Airspace Planning model JO - Transportation Research: Part C JF - Transportation Research: Part C Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 16 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 410 EP - 431 SN - 0968090X AB - Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel severe weather-modeling paradigm to be applied within the context of a large-scale Airspace Planning and collaborative decision-making model in order to reroute flights with respect to a specified probability threshold of encountering severe weather, subject to collision safety, airline equity, and sector workload considerations. This approach serves as an alternative to the current practice adopted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of adjusting flight routes in accordance with the guidelines specified in the National Playbook. Our innovative contributions in this paper include (a) the concept of “Probability-Nets” and the development of discretized representations of various weather phenomena that affect aviation operations; (b) the integration of readily accessible severe weather probabilities from existing weather forecast data provided by the National Weather Service; (c) the generation of flight plans that circumvent severe weather phenomena with specified probability threshold levels, and (d) a probabilistic delay assessment methodology for evaluating planned flight routes that might encounter potentially disruptive weather along its trajectory. Additionally, we conduct an economic benefit analysis using a k-means clustering mechanism in concert with our delay assessment methodology in order to evaluate delay costs and system disruptions associated with variations in probability-net refinement-based information. Computational results and insights are presented based on flight test cases derived from the Enhanced Traffic Management System data provided by the FAA and using weather scenarios derived from the Model Output Statistics forecast data provided by the National Weather Service.

JO - Journal of Organizational Behavior JF - Journal of Organizational Behavior Y1 - 2009/02// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 290 SN - 08943796 AB - We expand the conceptualization of positive leadership and hypothesize that leaders' ability to influence followers across varied complex situations will be enhanced through the development of a rich and multifaceted self-construct. Utilizing self-complexity theory and other aspects of research on self-representation, we show how the structure and structural dynamics of leaders' self-constructs are linked to their varied role demands by calling forth cognitions, affects, goals and values, expectancies, and self-regulatory plans that enhance performance. Through this process, a leader is able to bring the “right stuff” (the appropriate ensemble of attributes) to bear on and succeed in the multiple challenges of leadership. We suggest future research to develop dimensional typologies related to leadership-relevant aspects of the self and also to link individual positive self-complexity to more aggregate positive organizational processes.

USEPA developed Method 9, which is a reference method to describe how plume opacity can be quantified by human observers during daytime conditions. However, it would be beneficial to determine plume opacity with digital still cameras (DSCs) to provide graphical records of the plume and its environment during visual emission evaluation and to be able to determine plume opacity with DSCs during nighttime conditions. Digital optical method (DOM) was developed to quantify plume opacity from photographs that were provided by a DSC during daytime. Past daytime field campaigns have demonstrated that DOM provided opacity readings that met Method 9 certification requirements. In this paper, the principles and methodology of DOM to quantify plume opacity during nighttime are described. Also, results are described from a nighttime-field campaign that occurred at Springfield, IL Opacity readings provided by DOM were compared with the opacity values obtained with the reference in-stack transmissometer of the smoke generator. The average opacity errors were 2.3-3.5% for contrast model of DOM for all levels of plume opacity. The average opacity errors were 2.0-7.6% for the transmission model of DOM for plumes with opacity 0-50%. These results are encouraging and indicate that DOM has the potential to quantify plume opacity during nighttime.

The dispersed UV-LIF spectra are measured by a 32-anode PMT detector with spectral coverage from 280-600 nm. The PFS represents a significant improvement over our previous apparatus [Pinnick et al., Atmos. Environ. 2004, 38, 1657] and can (1) measure fluorescence spectra of bacterial particles having light-scattering sizes as small as 1 urn (previously limited to about 3 μm) and so can measure particles with size in the range of 1-10 μm, (2) measure each particle's elastic scattering which can be used to estimate particle size (not available previously), (3) measure single-particle fluorescence spectra with a laser and detector that can record spectra as fast as 90,000/s, although the highest rates we have found experimentally in atmospheric measurements is only several hundred per second (previously limited by detectors to only 25/s), and (4) provide a time stamp for a data block of spectra with time resolution from 10 ms to 10 mm. In addition, the PFS has been modified to be more robust, transportable, and smaller. The use of an aerodynamic-focusing sheath inlet nozzle assembly has improved the sample rate. The PFS has been employed to measure UV-LIF spectra from individual atmospheric particles during October-December 2006 and January-May 2008 in New Haven, CT, and during January-May 2007 in Las Cruces, NM.

In environmental monitoring, the ability to classify field samples and predict the pollutants present in these samples could contribute to monitoring efforts and the diagnosis of contaminated sites. Using gene expression analysis, we challenged our custom Daphnia magna cDNA microarray to determine the presence of a specific metal toxicant in blinded field samples collected from two copper mines in California. We compared the gene expression profiles from our field samples to previously established expression profiles for Cu, Cd, and Zn. The expression profiles from the Cu-containing field samples clustered with the laboratory-exposed Cu-specific gene expression profiles and included genes previously identified as copper biomarkers, verifying that gene expression analysis can predict environmental exposure to a specific pollutant. In addition, our study revealed that upstream field samples containing undetectable levels of Cu caused the differential expression of only a few genes, lending support for the concept of a no observed transcriptional effect level (NOTEL). If confirmed by further studies, the NOTEL may play an important role in discriminating polluted and nonpolluted sites in future monitoring efforts.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2008/04//4/1/2008 VL - 42 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2542 EP - 2550 SN - 0013936X AB - Large-scale aerobic windrow composting has been used to bioremediate washout lagoon soils contaminated with the explosives TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) at several sites within the United States. We previously used 15N NMR to investigate the reduction and binding of T15NT in aerobic bench -scale reactors simulating the conditions of windrow composting. These studies have been extended to 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4DNT) and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6DNT), which, as impurities in TNT, are usually present wherever soils have been contaminated with TNT. Liquid-state 15N NMR analyses of laboratory reactions between 4-methyl-3-nitroaniline-15N,the major monoamine reduction product of 2,4DNT, and the Elliot soil humic acid, both in the presence and absence of horseradish peroxidase, indicated that the amine underwent covalent binding with quinone and other carbonyl groups in the soil humic acid to form both heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic condensation products. Liquid-state 15N NMR analyses of the methanol extracts of 20 day aerobic bench-scale composts of 2,4-di-15N-nitrotoluene and 2,6-di-15N- nitrotoluene revealed the presence of nitrite and monoamine, but not diamine, reduction products, indicating the occurrence of both dioxygenase enzyme and reductive degradation pathways. Solid-state CP/MAS 15N NMR analyses of the whole composts, however, suggested that reduction to monoamines followed by covalent binding of the amines to organic matter was the predominant pathway.

JO - IET Nanobiotechnology JF - IET Nanobiotechnology Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 2 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 47 EP - 53 SN - 17518741 AB - A nanoscale sensor employing fluorescent resonance energy transfer interactions between fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) and organic quencher molecules can be used for the multiplexed detection of biological antigens in solution. Detection occurs when the antigens to be detected displace quencher-labelled inactivated (or dead) antigens of the same type attached to QD–antibody complexes through equilibrium reactions. This unquenches the QDs, allowing detection to take place through the observation of photoluminescence in solution or through the fluorescence imaging of unquenched QD complexes trapped on filter surfaces. Multiplexing can be accomplished by using several different sizes of QDs, with each size QD labelled with an antibody for a different antigen, providing the ability to detect several types of antigens or biological contaminants simultaneously in near real-time with high specificity and sensitivity.

The deadband effect on the steady-state and transient commutating process are analyzed. The current variations caused by phase-shift errors at the boundary conditions are simulated and validated through experiments. The concept of "energy deadband" is introduced to describe those specific transients where no energy flows from source to load or load to source. A set of strategies are proposed to increase the system robustness. Simulation and experiments on a 200-V/400-V, 6-kW dc-dc converter prototype validated these strategies.

This is compared to conventional systems such as whiskbroom systems, pushbroom systems, and filter wheel systems that requiring scanning in one or more coordinate direction. CTIS systems have been designed and tested in several different singular spectral bands as well as a dual band system. In addition to hyperspectral imaging spectrometers, CTIS systems have been used as an imaging spectropolarimeter and as a ranging imaging spectrometer. An imaging spectropolarimeter not only reconstructs the spectral content at every point in the scene of interest, but also provides the Stokes parameters at every point. So instead of just one data cube, we get four data cubes, one for each element of the Stokes vector. The ranging CTIS incorporates a LADAR system with the CTIS to provide the range information to targets in scene as well as the reconstructed data cube. The physical principles behind the CTIS system are presented as well as some of representative data from single band systems, the dual band proof of concept, the spectropolarimeter, and the ranging imaging spectrometer.

JO - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems JF - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 18 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 661 EP - 673 SN - 01291564 AB - Remote sensing of chemical warfare agents (CWA) with stand-off hyperspectral sensors has a wide range of civilian and military applications. These sensors exploit the spectral changes in the ambient photon flux produced thermal emission or absorption after passage through a region containing the CWA cloud. In this work we focus on (a) staring single-pixel sensors that sample their field of view at regular intervals of time to produce a time series of spectra and (b) scanning single or multiple pixel sensors that sample their FOV as they scan. The main objective of signal processing algorithms is to determine if and when a CWA enters the FOV of the sensor. We shall first develop and evaluate algorithms for staring sensors following two different approaches. First, we will assume that no threat information is available and we design an adaptive anomaly detection algorithm to detect a statistically-significant change in the observed spectrum. The algorithm processes the observed spectra sequentially-in-time, estimates adaptively the background, and checks whether the next spectrum differs significantly from the background based on the Mahalanobis distance or the distance from the background subspace. In the second approach, we will assume that we know the spectral signature of the CWA and develop sequential-in-time adaptive matched filter detectors. In both cases, we assume that the sensor starts its operation before the release of the CWA; otherwise, staring at a nearby CWA-free area is required for background estimation. Experimental evaluation and comparison of the proposed algorithms is accomplished using data from a long-wave infrared (LWIR) Fourier transform spectrometer.

The simulation consists of three principal models: an atmospheric turbulence model, a radiative transfer model and a target detection model. The turbulence model is used to generate microscale atmospheric variability. Resulting temperature and density profiles, along with custom aerosol profiles, are used to generate inputs for MODTRAN5, which produces simulated atmospheric spectral radiance. The simulated data is then analyzed by using an optimal detection algorithm and a hypothesis test, resulting in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

This eyesafe short wave infrared (SWIR) waveband is advantageous due to both the improved eye safety and atmospheric propagation through obscurants. NVESD has several active programs in this area, which will be reviewed in this paper. These are: 1) single-pixel scanned imaging laser radar, 2) 2D gated SWIR imaging, and 3) 3D-flash laser radar. These systems are being evaluated for various targeting scenarios, including as potential payloads on unmanned air-vehicles, ground vehicles and other sensor suites. Applications include low-cost long-range target identification, identification of heavily obscured targets, obstacle avoidance, and high resolution imaging.

Time domain THz spectroscopy has been employed to measure the pump wavelength and background carrier concentration dependence of THz emission from InN. There is no discernable difference between the In- and N-face InN samples, as expected for the improved crystalline quality and concomitant low background electron density and high mobility for both polarities. While there is only a weak dependence of THz signal on pump wavelength from 800 nm to 1500 nm, there is a strong dependence on background electron density. Modeling shows that the dominant mechanism for THz generation in bulk InN is the current associated with the diffusion of the photo-generated electrons at elevated electron temperature (photo-Dember effect) and the redistribution of the background electrons under drift, with larger screening from the higher mobility electrons as compared to holes. Compensation or p-type doping in conjunction with manipulation of the large internal electric fields in InN/InGaN nanostructures should lead to significant improvements in THz emitters.

The absorption spectrum of the entire protein in water was studied numerically in the terahertz range (0.1 – 2 THz). In our work, the initial X-ray molecular structure of thioredoxin was optimized using the molecular dynamical (MD) simulations at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effect of a liquid content of a bacterial cell was taken into account explicitly via the simulation of water molecules using the TIP3P water model. Using atomic trajectories from the room-temperature MD simulations, thioredoxin's THz vibrational spectrum and the absorption coefficient were calculated in a quasi harmonic approximation. For our terahertz transmission measurements, we used solutions of thioredoxin in distilled water obtained from Sigma. The experimental and simulated signatures are correlated and dominant peaks are close in frequencies. The results of this study demonstrate that terahertz spectroscopy is a promising tool in generating spectral data for cellular components of bio agents such as bacterial cells and spores.

People do this knowing that their property may be flooded, if not totally destroyed, by raging waters and accompanying debris, however, many do not fully understand and appreciate that risk. As a result, each year on average observes increasing property damage, more lives being threatened and increased degradation of floodplain ecological functions. It can be argued that with regard to floodplain development governmental policies are not preventing it, indeed, they may be facilitating it.

A simple model of current spreading in a ridge laser with a segmented contact is proposed and analyzed. We show that current spreading effects should be taken into account in lasers with low threshold current densities and high "opening" voltages. When applied to interband cascade lasers, the method gives an internal optical loss of ~10-17 cm-1 and a differential gain of ~2.9 cm/A at 80 K, which agrees well with previously reported Hakki-Paoli data. The limitations of the technique are discussed.

Structural equation modeling was used to test the model. Results from both studies suggested that a modified interdependence model provided a plausible explanation for how leaders may earn subordinate trust, through fostering the establishment of cooperative interdependence and being perceived as credible. Credibility was demonstrated through both competence and good character, and organizational structures that were in place contributed to trust by encouraging leaders to behave cooperatively toward group members. Most importantly, the level of trust subordinates had in their leaders determined the amount of leader influence subordinates accepted.

Applied Plasma Technologies has proposed its new highly efficient hybrid-type plasma-assisted system for organic fuel combustion and gasification. The system operates as a multimode multipurpose reactor in a wide range of plasma feedstock gases and turndown ratios. This system also has convenient and simultaneous feeding of several reagents in the reaction zone such as liquid fuels, coal, steam, and air. A special methodology has been developed for such a system in terms of heat balance evaluation and optimization. This methodology considers all existing and possible energy streams, which could influence the system's efficiency. The developed hybrid-type plasma system could be suitable for combustion applications, mobile and autonomous small- to mid-size liquid fuel and coal gasification modules, hydrogen-rich gas generators, waste-processing facilities, and plasma chemical reactors.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Communications JF - IEEE Transactions on Communications Y1 - 2008/03// VL - 56 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 454 EP - 465 SN - 00906778 AB - For IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs (WLAN) with multiple access points (AP), it is critical to allocate the limited number of radio channels dynamically and efficiently. In this paper, we present a new radio channel allocation (RCA) scheme for WLANs with multiple data rates. First, we propose a new algorithm to dynamically estimate the number of active stations by using the least square estimator (LSE), which is unbiased and has minimum variance. Second, we derive an expression to evaluate the impact of the co-channel stations of an AP on the channel utilization of the AP based on the number of equivalent co-channel stations, which is the difference between the numbers of stations that are sensed by and associated with the AP. Third, we develop a new distributed RCA (DRCA) that considers the changing number of active stations, the impact of co-channel interference (CCI), and different traffic demands for different APs, which have not been considered by the existing RCA schemes. Simulation results have demonstrated that DRCA quickly finds optimal or suboptimal channel assignments and improves overall channel utilization for about 15 ~ 50% for different AP layouts, as compared to the existing schemes.

A liquid module test bed has been built to create various convection conditions and is used with 600-V high-current MOSFET-based Embedded Power samples to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme. Compared with single- sided liquid cooling, an improvement of 45% to 60% in thermal resistance is experimentally shown, for Embedded Power with double-sided liquid cooling for a device loss between 5 and 300 W and 0.25 to 4.5 GPM water flow rate. The trend and concept is also validated with physics-based lumped parameter thermal models.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 509 SN - 10518215 AB - Recently, among various data hiding techniques, a new subset, lossless data hiding, has received increasing interest. Most of the existing lossless data hiding algorithms are, however, fragile in the sense that the hidden data cannot be extracted out correctly after compression or other incidental alteration has been applied to the stego-image. The only existing semi-fragile (referred to as robust in this paper) lossless data hiding technique, which is robust against high-quality JPEG compression, is based on modulo-256 addition to achieve losslessness. In this paper, we first point out that this technique has suffered from the annoying salt-and-pepper noise caused by using modulo-256 addition to prevent overflow/underflow. We then propose a novel robust lossless data hiding technique, which does not generate salt-and-pepper noise. By identifying a robust statistical quantity based on the patchwork theory and employing it to embed data, differentiating the bit-embedding process based on the pixel group's distribution characteristics, and using error correction codes and permutation scheme, this technique has achieved both losslessness and robustness. It has been successfully applied to many images, thus demonstrating its generality. The experimental results show that the high visual quality of stego-images, the data embedding capacity, and the robustness of the proposed lossless data hiding scheme against compression are acceptable for many applications, including semi-fragile image authentication. Specifically, it has been successfully applied to authenticate losslessly compressed JPEG2000 images, followed by possible transcoding. It is expected that this new robust lossless data hiding algorithm can be readily applied in the medical field, law enforcement, remote sensing and other areas, where the recovery of original images is desired.

T1 - Recruiter Selection Model and Implementation Within the United States Army. JO - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man & Cybernetics: Part C - Applications & Reviews JF - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man & Cybernetics: Part C - Applications & Reviews Y1 - 2009/02// VL - 39 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 93 EP - 100 SN - 10946977 AB - On April 10, 2006, Major General Bostick, the Commanding General of the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), in conjunction with the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, approved a new method of selecting individuals from within the Army for recruiting duty. Implementation currently waits for similar and current research concerning drill sergeants. Previously, the Army assigned successful noncommissioned officers (NCOs), regardless of inherent sales and marketing skills, into the recruiting force. The Army learned skills that make a successful combat leader do not always translate well into recruiting duty. This research began in 2001, after recruiting shortages, when the Army began researching recruiter selection methods. The result is an application that combines statistical learning with industrial and organizational (IO) psychology. The resulting selection model determines the better NCOs for service as detailed recruiters in the United States Army Recruiting Command, a 6000 plus sales force located worldwide. The application enhances IO psychology by providing a statistical prediction of job performance derived from psychological inventories and biographical data. The application uses a combination of statistical learning, variable selection methods, and IO psychology to determine the better prediction function approximation with variables obtained from the noncommissioned officer leadership skills inventory (NLSI) and biographical data. The application also creates a methodology for iteratively developing a statistical learning model. We learned that random forest models outperformed support vector regressions and stepwise regression for these data. A greedy algorithm enhanced model generalization by selecting a good subset of prediction variables. The model represents a multimodal relationship primarily between recruiter age, NLSI score, and, to a lesser degree, 34 other variables. The resulting model runs in R s- - tatistical language and is controlled within an Excel worksheet environment by using Visual Basic Application language and RExcel. The end product enables general utilization of a statistically elegant model, normally reserved for advanced researchers, engineers, statisticians, and economists.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Robotics JF - IEEE Transactions on Robotics Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 24 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 688 EP - 697 SN - 15523098 AB - Autonomous mobility systems developed for unmanned ground vehicles may have additional benefits by enhancing system performance and reducing demands on operators for manned ground vehicles. This effort examines the potential impact of introducing autonomous mobility to control manned vehicles while operators performed secure mobility. Eleven Soldiers participated in an experimental task requiring concurrent control of a manned and an unmanned Stryker performing a road march, scanning of the local environment for targets, and planning of a reconnaissance route for a third simulated asset. The control of the manned vehicle was varied between autonomous and manual control and several speed and accuracy variables were examined for each task. Subjective measures of operator workload, stress, and motion sickness were also examined. The results support the potential benefits of incorporating autonomous mobility into manned platforms. In speed-matched conditions, autonomous mobility was associated with decreased manned vehicle mission time, faster operator reaction times to targets, greater instances of multitasking while under motion, and lower subjective operator workload measures than with manual driving. In conclusion, autonomous mobility technologies have the potential to free up resources from the vehicle operator and allow for better operator performance on tasks other than vehicle control.

The rotors are fiber reinforced in the circumferential direction to resist centripetal loads resulting from high-speed rotation. A press-fit process is also used to induce precompression in the radial direction that improves mechanical strength by preventing radial separation of rotors. However, this design and fabrication process leaves the radial and axial directions of rotor vulnerable to propagation of fatigue crack growth in the rotor. A semiempirical approach is proposed to enhance the "crack growth" resistance of the rotor. Axial glass plies are incorporated to confine the crack growth through the radius and along the circumferential direction of rotor. The fracture properties of specific hybrid laminates are then measured to provide information required for an optimal rotor design.

Silicon SGTOs (3.5 cm²) were pulsed at 5 kA with a half-sine current waveform measuring 1 ms at the base. The recovery time, or Tq, of the devices was evaluated from the point at which the main current pulse fell to zero. Using a driver designed to provide both turn-on and turn-off signals, the Tq was reduced to 10 μs. Smaller silicon carbide SGTOs (0.16 cm²) were similarly evaluated for wide-pulse performance. They were switched several times at a peak current above 300 A, with an unassisted Tq time of 30 μs. This paper provides details of the aforementioned pulse switching as well as a description of continuing evaluations involving parallel devices and larger test beds.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 46 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 79 SN - 01636804 AB - Cognitive radio techniques are being applied to many different communications systems. They hold promise for increasing utilization of radio frequencies that are underutilized today, allowing for improved commercial data services, and allowing for new emergency and military communications services [1]. For example, these techniques are being considered by the U.S. FCC for communications services in unlicensed VHF and UHF TV bands. Although traditionally these techniques are closely associated with software- defined radios, many standards such as WiFi (IEEE 802.11), Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4), and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) already include some degree of CR technology today. Further advances are occurring rapidly. IEEE 802.22 will be the first cognitive radio-based international standard with tangible frequency bands for its operation. Standardization is at the core of the current and future success of cognitive radio. Industry stakeholders are participating in international standards activities governing the use of cognitive radio techniques for dynamic spectrum access and coexistence, next-generation radio and spectrum management, and interoperability in infrastructure-less wireless networks. This article provides a review of standardization activities for cognitive radio technologies and comments on prospects and issues for future standardization.

A recent article published in this law review argued that this placement has hindered military operations and disrupted civilian control over the military; left unaddressed, it will negatively affect the nation's ability to fight and win future wars. This Essay takes issue with such assertions. In fact, judge advocates foster appropriate civil-military relations. They participate in the development and application of policy in a manner that enhances civilian control over military affairs. Moreover, judge advocates are singularly well-placed to ensure that civilian leadership preferences are fully understood and followed by the military on the battlefield. The Essay concludes by forcefully rejecting any suggestion that judge advocates pose an obstacle to operational success, charging that those who make such claims reveal their lack of operational experience.

The seismic signal received on a geophone contains some energy that has propagated as seismic waves and some energy that couples from acoustic waves to seismic waves in the vicinity of the geophone. We use the frequency-domain coherence between the microphone and geophone signals to determine when the seismic signal is predominantly due to acoustic-to-seismic wave coupling. In frequency bands where the microphone and geophone coherence is above 0.8, the ratio of the seismic ground particle velocity to sound pressure—SAR—can be determined with less than 2 dB of error. The method is applied to data from a summer experiment with grass ground cover and at two winter experiments with snow-covered ground. At 100 Hz, the summer analysis yields a SAR value of 1.0 × 10-5 [(m/s)/Pa]. In addition, at 100 Hz, the two winter tests yield SAR between 0.1 × 10-5 and 1.0 × 10-5 [(m/s)/Pa]. In the later winter result, our vehicle-derived SAR estimate is shown to be in excellent agreement with SAR estimates obtained from blank pistol shots. Through the opportunistic exploitation background noise sources, our approach opens the possibility for automatic adaptation of unattended acoustic area, monitoring sensors to changing ground conditions.

The analytical formulation is based on the ellipsoidal coordinate system that is able to model real 3-D geometries as opposed to bodies of revolutions like within a spheroidal approach. At the frequencies of interest (tens of hertz to hundreds of kilohertz), conduction currents in the soil are negligible, and the fields are computed in the magnetoquasistatic regime based on the Laplace equation. Inside the objects, where the wave equation governs the field distribution, the currents are assumed to have a small penetration depth, allowing for the analytical simplification of the field components, which become decoupled at the surface. This approximation, which is valid across the entire frequency spectrum because of the high permeability and conductivity, avoids the necessity of using ellipsoidal wave functions and results in a considerable saving of computational time. Numerical results favorably compare with numerical and experimental data, which proves the usefulness of our method to model UXOs in clutter-contaminated soils. Finally, the optimization approach used to match our numerical predictions with experimental data demonstrates the possibility of remotely inferring the material properties of objects.

First, unlike other types of materials, nanomaterials have no standard specification among nanomaterial suppliers, which leads to varying concentrations of metal catalyst. Second, there is no clear standard by which mass concentration drives toxicity at the nanoscale level. Third, the level of experimentation with nanomaterials has resulted in a rapid expansion of potential end-use applications. Fourth, LCA for nanomaterials will result to uncertainty.

BACKGROUND: A 21-year-old healthy athletic male military cadet with complaint of worsening diffuse left knee pain was evaluated 4 days after onset. The knee pain began 2 hours after completing a long car trip, worsened over the subsequent 3 days, and became almost unbearable during the return trip. The patient reported constant pain, limited knee motion, and difficulty ambulating. In addition, he was unable to perform physical military training or attend academic classes due to the severe left knee pain. Past medical history revealed a mild left lateral calf strain 21/2 weeks prior, which completely resolved within 24 hours of onset. DIAGNOSIS: Our physical examination led us to either monoarticular arthritis, pseudothrombophlebitis (ruptured Baker's cyst), or a lower leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as the cause of knee pain. Diagnostic imaging of this patient revealed a left superficial femoral vein thrombosis and popliteal DVT, with bilateral pulmonary emboli (PE). DISCUSSION: A systematic differential diagnosis was undertaken to rule out a potentially fatal DVT diagnosis as the cause of knee pain, despite minimal DVT risk factors. The physical therapist in a direct-access setting must ensure timely evaluation and referral of a suspected DVT, even when patient demographics cause the practitioner to question the likelihood of this diagnosis. The physical examination findings, clinical suspicion, and established clinical prediction rules can accurately dictate the appropriate referral action necessary.

However, a unified program across the Department of Defense (DoD) that meets family needs and connects to communities is elusive. Military Family Life Project data show that participation in many programs is limited, but when the programs are used, they often work well. The data suggest the 'coercive bureaucracy' that envelopes the military extends to the family and limits motivation to utilize programs. We propose that the military employ the Self- Determination Theory to motivate families to elevate above basic survival so they can thrive. With 73% of families living outside of military installations, their participation in programs will require community involvement because the government cannot meet the needs of most families by itself. Connecting government and community programs requires a transparent unified program structure. We propose that product life-cycle management will elucidate and integrate existing programs across the entire service life cycle and enhance community connectivity.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Introduction: Providing information via the tactile sensory system allows the pilot to increase awareness without further taxing the visual and auditory perceptual systems. In this study, tactile cues were presented to pilots for target orientation during a simulated helicopter extraction over a moving target. The efficacy of the cues provided by the tactile system was assessed under various conditions (rested vs. fatigued, clear vs. degraded visual environment). Methods: This study employed a mixed-model 2⁴ factorial design, including one between-subjects variable (training amount: minimal, additional) and three within-subjects variables (state: rested, fatigued; visual environment: clear, degraded; tactile cue belt: active, inactive). Across 2 d under the 4 test conditions, 16 UH-60 rated, healthy aviators completed 8 sessions of 10-min stabilized hovering maneuvers over a moving target. All flights were conducted in a UH-60 flight simulator. Results: Subjects were able to stay closer to the target when the tactile cuing system was active (M = 31.14 ft, SE = 3.17 ft) vs. inactive (M = 36.33 ft, SE = 2.84 ft). Likewise, subjects rated their situation awareness as greater when the tactile system was active vs. inactive. Discussion: The results support the efficacy of the tactile system in providing directional cues for maintaining pilot performance during a hover maneuver over a moving target.

AB - Behavior in response to a crisis will result from a combination of individual and situational variables. In spite of the increased recognition of the importance of situational variables, a literature and methodological toolkit for the study of situational influences that is comparable with those available for individual variables has not yet emerged. However, the recently developed Riverside Situational Q‐sort provides a novel method for quantifying subjective impressions of any situation. This proof‐of‐concept demonstration asked participants to complete the RSQ in response to an imaginary food crisis situation communicated via one of three message sources (social media, organizational website and traditional media). Results illustrate the potential of this method to provide quantitative evaluations of subjective responses to crisis situations.

AB - Whether or not a migratory songbird embarks on a long-distance flight across an ecological barrier is likely a response to a number of endogenous and exogenous factors. During autumn 2008 and 2009, we used automated radio tracking to investigate how energetic condition, age, and weather influenced the departure timing and direction of Swainson’s thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) during migratory stopover along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Most birds left within 1 h after sunset on the evening following capture. Those birds that departed later on the first night or remained longer than 1 day were lean. Birds that carried fat loads sufficient to cross the Gulf of Mexico generally departed in a seasonally appropriate southerly direction, whereas lean birds nearly always flew inland in a northerly direction. We did not detect an effect of age or weather on departures. The decision by lean birds to reorient movement inland may reflect the suitability of the coastal stopover site for deposition of fuel stores and the motivation to seek food among more extensive forested habitat away from the barrier.

AB - The ability to recognize others’ facial expressions is critical to the social communication of affective states. The present work examined how transient states of high physiological arousal during aerobic exercise influence recognizing and rating morphed facial expressions. Participants exercised at either a low or high work rate. While exercising and then during cool-down and rest periods, participants performed a version of the morphed faces task that involved animated faces changing into or away from five target affective states (happy, surprise, sadness, anger, and disgust); they were asked to stop the animation when the face first corresponded to a target state, and rate its emotional intensity.

Informing the extensive preparations needed to manage climate risks, avoid damages, and realize emerging opportunities is a grand challenge for climate change science. U.S. President Obama underscored the need for this research when he made climate preparedness a pillar of his climate policy. Adaptation improves preparedness and is one of two broad and increasingly important strategies (along with mitigation) for climate risk management. Adaptation is required in virtually all sectors of the economy and regions of the globe, for both built and natural systems. A key characteristic of emerging adaptation science is that it is both basic—in that it contributes to understanding fundamental physical, environmental, and socioeconomic research questions and applied, because it is problem focused. Sustained support for problem oriented fundamental research on adaptation needs to be increased at research agencies. A particular challenge is to develop effective approaches to learn from adaptation practice as well as published research. Progress toward achieving the goal of adapting to changing climate will require demonstrating tangible benefits for society by connecting research and applications.

AB - Basic combat training plays an important role in military service with approximately 72,000 soldiers participating in the United States annually. Although Drill Sergeant qualities have been widely portrayed in popular media, there is very little empirical research that documents the characteristics of Drill Sergeants and the impact these characteristics may have on trainees. In this study we evaluated a measure of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities and the degree to which these qualities related to mental health symptoms and job-related outcomes of trainees. Three types of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities were found from factor analyses: motivation, respect, and toughness. Using latent growth curve analyses, higher initial scores on motivation and respect, but not toughness, were associated with greater decreases in mental health symptoms over time. Further, changes in perceived Drill Sergeant qualities related to changes in depressive symptoms, unit cohesion, and citizen behaviors assessed over the course of basic combat training.

In Experiment 1, 80 teams worked on a hidden profile decision-making task. A defensive team strategic orientation increased members’ perceptions of the problem’s scope, leading to a more process-focused work strategy and broader information search compared to an offensive team strategic orientation. When teams needed critical information from the environment, defensive teams outperformed offensive teams; offensive teams performed better when critical information resided within the team. In Experiment 2, these findings were replicated with 92 teams performing a different decision task. When making a second decision, half of the teams were led to change their strategic orientation; teams shifting from offense to defense altered their information search behavior more readily than did teams shifting in the opposite direction, suggesting an asymmetric adaptation effect.

AB - Configuring products or environments for the size of their human users requires the consideration of several characteristics of the target user population, including body dimensions (anthropometry) and preferred interaction. Users are both adaptable and imperfect observers, which often makes it difficult for them to distinguish between candidate designs. This insensitivity is described by a concept called ‘just noticeable difference’, or JND. This paper presents an implementation of JND modeling and demonstrates how its use in the sizing of products or environments for target user populations can improve expected performance. Two facets of this problem are explored: (1) how experimental measures of JND for dimensional optimization tasks may be obtained, and (2) how measures of JND may be included in models of user–device interaction for both adjustable and discretely sized products and the assumptions required. A case study demonstrating the collection and modeling of JND for a simple univariate problem is also presented.Practitioner Summary: Since people are adaptable and imperfect observers, there exists a ‘just noticeable difference’ that can be considered when designing products and environments. When JND is modeled for a target population, less variability in design dimensions due to physical user requirements may be necessary. This paper considers JND in quantitative simulations of population accommodation.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The U.S. military's ban on open homosexuality has become an increasingly salient issue since its implementation in 1993 and its repeal in 2011. The military is an organization with a unique professional and social organization. Evaluating military attitudes from a network perspective may offer insight into the role of formal and informal leadership in engendering attitudinal change and cultural tolerance around homosexuality. This study evaluates the role of network centrality and network exposure across formal (command networks) and informal (friendship and perceived leadership networks) structures on attitudes toward homosexuality in the military. This work analyzes survey data from a single cadet company within the U.S. Military Academy (n = 139) prior to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Results indicate that popular students tend to show tolerance toward homosexuality, whereas those who hold command leadership positions are more likely to have personal and professional opposition to homosexuality. In addition, formal superior–subordinate relationships are somewhat more likely to suggest social contagion compared to informal leadership and friendship relationships. Recommendations offer guidance for training strategies particularly with respect to a military leaders and socialization. Future research should monitor these issues relative to the post-DADT environment.

AB - Objective: Many developing countries have shown interest in embracing telemedicine and incorporating it into their healthcare systems. In 2000, the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) initiated a program to assist the Republic of Panama in establishing a demonstration Panamanian rural telemedicine program. YPG engaged the Arizona Telemedicine Program (ATP) to participate in the development and implementation of the program. Materials and methods: The ATP recommended adoption of a 'top-down' strategy for creating the program. Early buy-in of the Panamanian Ministry of Health and academic leaders was regarded as critical to the achievement of long-term success. Results: High-level meetings with the Minister of Health and the Rectors (i.e., Presidents) of the national universities gained early program support. A telemedicine demonstration project was established on a mountainous Indian reservation 230 miles west of Panama City. Today, three rural telemedicine clinics are linked to a regional Ministry of Health hospital for teleconsultations. Real-time bidirectional videoconferencing utilizes videophones connected over Internet protocol networks at a data rate of 768 kilobits per second to the San Felix Hospital. Telepediatrics, tele-obstetrics, telepulmonology, teledermatology, and tele-emergency medicine services became available. Telemedicine services were provided to the three sites for a total of 1,013 cases, with numbers of cases increasing each year. These three demonstration sites remained in operation after discontinuation of the U.S. involvement in September 2009 and serve as a model program for other telemedicine initiatives in Panama. Conclusions: Access to the assets of a partner-nation was invaluable in the establishment of the first model telemedicine demonstration program in Panama. After 3 years, the Panamanian Telemedicine and Telehealth Program (PTTP) became self-sufficient. The successful achievement of sustainability of the PTTP after disengagement by the United States fits the Latifi-Weinstein model for establishing telemedicine programs in developing countries.

The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was taken at various points in the PT program, and injuries were obtained from a medical surveillance system. After 9 weeks of training, the proportion failing the APFT was lower in the EG than in the CG (1.7 vs. 3.3%, p 0.03). After adjustment for initial fitness levels, age, and body mass index, the relative risk of an injury in the CG was 1.6(95% confidence interval [CI] =1.2-2.0) and 1.5 (95% CI = 1.2-1.8) times higher than in the EG for men and women, respectively. The newly designed PT program resulted in higher fitness test pass rates and lower injury rates compared to a traditional BCT physical training program.

Ten healthy men (22.0 ± 3.0 years, 87.6 ± 8.0 kg, 20.0 ± 5.0% body fat) performed 30 continuous and dynamic jump squats (JS) and bench throws (BT) on 4 separate occasions. The movements were performed under loaded conditions utilizing 30% of subject's predetermined 1 repetition maximum in the back squat and bench press. Mean power (MP; W), peak power (PP; W), mean velocity (MV; m·s-1),peak velocity (PV; m·s-1), and total work (TW; J) were assessed using a ballistic measurement system (Innervations Inc., Muncie, IN). Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance with Duncan's post hoc test when mean differences were p ≤ 0.05. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and within-subject coefficient of variation (CV%) were also calculated. All values are presented as mean ± SE. BT variables were statistically similar across the 4 sessions; MP (350.0 ± 13.9 W), PP (431.4 ± 18.5 W) MV 11.6 ± 0.03 m·s-1), PV (2.0 ± 0.03 m·s-1), and TW (199.1 ± 7.2 J). For JS, session 3 PP (1,669.8 ± 111.2 W) was significantly greater vs. sessions 1, 2, and 4 (1,601.2 ± 58.4 W). Session 4 MP (1,403.2 ± 88.6 W) and MV (1.9 ± 0.1 m·s-1) M for JS were significantly lower during sessions 1, 2, and 3 (MP: 1,479.4.5 ± 44.8 W, MV: 2.0 ± 0.05 m·s-1). TW (834.7 ± 24.3 J) and PV (2.2 ± 0.04 m·s-1) were statistically similar during all sessions for JS. The CVs ranged from 3.0 to 7.6% for the BT and 3.2 to 5.7% for the JS. ICCs for MP, PP, MV, PV, and TW were 0.92, 0.95, 0.94, 0.91, and 0.95, respectively, during BT. ICCs during JS for MP, PP, MV, PV, and TW were 0.96, 0.98, 0.94, 0.94, and 0.89, respectively. The results of the current study support the use of a 30 continuous and dynamic BT protocol as a reliable upper-body physical performance test, which can be administered with minimal practice. Slightly greater variability for JS was observed, although the test had high reliability.

Seventy-two soldiers, assigned to an Army division that was conducting combat and civil military operations in northern Iraq, completed a questionnaire that determined to what degree they reevaluated trust in their direct leaders prior to following them into battle and what impact this reconsideration had on the trust they placed in their leaders. Results indicated that the majority of soldiers did reconsider trust in their leaders prior to combat operations, to ensure that they had the competence and character to meet the greater demands of leading in combat. Findings also suggested that the trust leaders developed during peacetime training seemed to transfer to the combat environment and that leaders' abilities emerged as the most influential factor in the development of trust in the high-vulnerability context of combat. The findings have implications for trust models, leader development, leadership, and training of first responders.

While investigations in such environments are extremely difficult to conduct, such research is essential if we are to understand the functioning of leadership in contexts where leadership matters most. This paper introduces six studies that accepted the difficulties of this kind of research; and examined leadership in various challenging, dangerous contexts. We discuss the contributions of the six papers in terms of three related questions (1) what precisely is leadership in dangerous environments?; (2) what does danger do to leadership?; and (3) what distinguishes effective leadership in dangerous contexts?

It mentions that heart blood, subclavian blood and vitreous humor specimens from 26 PCP-positive postmortem cases were analyzed to evaluate the distribution of PCP in vitreous humor. It mentions that the specimens were analyzed by solid-phase extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It declares that the results reveals that all positive blood specimens were associated with positive vitreous humor specimen, and on average, the blood PCP concentrations were greater than the vitreous humor PCP concentrations. It concludes that there were considerable variability between cases, which shows that the detection of PCP in postmortem cases' interpretative value is limited.

Specifically, it is shown how the study of Fourier series can be motivated to enrich a multivariable calculus class. This is done through discovery learning and use of technology wherein students build the sine Fourier series for the simple function f(x) = x and then generalize to the nth term sine Fourier series for a general function, f(x). It is shown how the students can then explore the power of the Fourier series to represent functions.

Objective: To examine the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility scores, and a history of glenohumeral joint instability within a young, physically active cohort and to describe the incidence of generalized joint hypermobility within this population. Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Patients or Other Participants: Of the 1311 members of the entering freshman class of 2010, 1050 (80%) agreed to participate. Main Outcome Measure(s): Generalized joint hypermobility was assessed using the Beighton Scale. A history of glenohumeral joint instability was identified via a baseline questionnaire. Results: Most participants (78%) had no signs of generalized joint hypermobility. Only 11 volunteers (1.5%) had Beighton Scale scores of 4 or greater. Logistic regression analysis revealed a relationship between generalized joint hypermobility and a history of glenohumeral joint instability (P = .023). When sex and race were controlled, those with a total Beighton Scale score of ≥2 were nearly 2.5 times as likely (odds ratio = 2.48, 95% confidence interval = 1.19, 5.20, P = .016) to have reported a history of glenohumeral joint instability. A relationship was observed between sex and nearly all individual Beighton Scale items. Although women had higher total Beighton Scale scores than men, sex (P = .658) and race (P = .410) were not related to a history of glenohumeral joint instability when other variables in the model were controlled. Conclusions: In these participants, generalized joint hypermobility and a history of glenohumeral joint instability were associated.

However, little is known about the incidence rate and injury patterns associated with ankle sprains in this population. Objective: To examine the incidence of ankle sprains among active-duty members of the US Armed Services from 1998 through 2006. A secondary objective was to describe the sex, age, and service-specific injury patterns in this young, physically active population. Design: Cohort study. Patients or Other Participants: All active-duty service members from the day they enter military service until the day they leave military service and US Army Reserve and National Guard service members during periods of active duty and mobilization. Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury data were extracted from the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database from 1998 through 2006. All data for ankle sprains, coded according to the International Classification of Diseases (9th revision), were included. Cases were limited to those injuries reported as first occurrences. Incidence rates (IRs) were calculated per 1000 person-years by sex, age, and service. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between the incidence of ankle sprain and the independent variables of sex, age, and service. Results: From 1998 through 2006, 423581 service members sustained ankle sprains and 12 118863 person-years at risk to injury were documented in this population. The incidence rate was 34.95 (95% Cl = 34.85, 35.06) per 1000 person-years at risk. Females were 21% more likely (IRA = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.21, 1.23) to sustain an ankle sprain than males. Sex-specific IR varied by age and service. Differences in the rate of ankle sprains were also noted by age and service. Conclusions: The incidence of ankle sprains among US service members was 5 times greater than that previously reported in civilian population studies. Sex, age, and branch of military service are important factors related to the incidence of ankle sprains in this population.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/11/02/Nov2014 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 162 EP - 167 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Increasingly, private and military consumers are becoming aware of the positive benefits of a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) as health claims range from reducing inflammation to improving mood. The number of positive scientific articles supporting these claims is rapidly increasing, leading the military to examine the possibility of omega-3 supplementation for personnel. A variety of menus used either in shipboard or garrison feeding include fatty fishes that are rich in omega-3 FAs. However, omega-3 FAs have shelf-stability issues because of their susceptibility to oxidize; therefore, they create a challenge in terms of incorporation into ration components in nutritionally significant amounts. As a result, the Department of Defense Combat Feeding Directorate is investigating methods, technologies, and emerging products for incorporation of omega-3s into ration components. Based on existing research, fortification of foods with omega-3 FAs would improve nutritional quality as well as provide added benefit to the Warfighters.

Two hundred-sixty Phase II Army Practical Nursing students were randomized into two groups and trained to perform an IV cannulation procedure. All students watched a 12-minute training video covering standard IV placement procedures. Afterward, both groups practiced the procedure for an hour according to their assigned group. Students were then tested on IV placement in a live human arm using a 14-item testing instrument in three trials that were scored pass/fail. There was no difference in the groups’ performance of the IV procedure on the first attempt: 51.7% (n = 92) of the human arm group passed the test, and 48.3% (n = 86) of the rubber mannequin group passed the test (p = 0.074). These data suggest that using rubber mannequin IV arms for IV skills training may be just as effective as training students using traditional methods. In addition, using simulation provides an extra benefit of reducing risks associated with learning the procedure on a fellow student.

Methods: A retrospective review of the teledermatology program between 2004 and 2012 was evaluated based on defined outcome measures. In addition, 658 teledermatology cases were reviewed to assess how the program was utilized by health care providers from 2011 to 2012. Results: As high as 98% of the teledermatology consults were answered within 24 hours, and 23% of consults within 1 hour. The most common final diagnoses included eczematous dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and evaluation for nonmelanoma skin cancer. The most common medications recommended included topical corticosteroids, oral antibiotics, antihistamines, and emollients. Biopsy was most commonly recommended for further evaluation. Following teleconsultation, 46 dermatologic evacuations were “avoided” as the patient was not evacuated based on the consultants’ recommendation. Consultants’ recommendations to the referring provider “facilitated” 41 evacuations. Conclusion: Telemedicine in the U.S. military has provided valuable dermatology support to providers in remote locations by delivering appropriate and timely consultation for military service members and coalition partners. In addition to avoiding unnecessary medical evacuations, the program facilitated appropriate evacuations that may otherwise have been delayed.

Musculoskeletal injury also is one of the most prevalent battle and nonbattle-related deployed injury types. Both injuries threaten the service member’s physical condition as well as unit and mission readiness due to reduced duty status or evacuation from military theater of operations. In August 2010, the Concussion Restoration Care Center (CRCC) was established at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, to address the need for consistent and specialized evaluation and care of concussion and musculoskeletal injury. This performance improvement effort examined evaluation and treatment of concussion and musculoskeletal injury at the CRCC. Among 4,947 military personnel evaluated at the CRCC between August 2010 and May 2013, 97.9% were returned to duty and retained in theater. Members averaged 10 to 12 days of limited duty status to achieve complete recovery. Concussion injury was secondary to blast injury in 90% of cases. Sport/recreation, occupational, and other accidental injuries each represented 30% of the musculoskeletal injuries with only 10% reported as result of combat. The utilization patterns and outcome measures demonstrate the success and utility of a multidisciplinary clinical model of care for these two types of injuries in the far-forward deployed setting.

A total of 10,692 SMs completed the April 2008 Status of Forces Survey of Active Duty Members. The survey asked about demographics, personal stress and occupational stress, injuries from any cause, and participation in sports- and exercise- related activities in the past year. The survey used a complex sampling procedure to create a representative sample of SMs. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations of injury outcomes with potential risk factors. 49% of SMs sought medical care for an injury in the past year and 25% sustained a sports- and exercise-related activities injury. Odds of injury were higher for the Army and Marine Corps than for the Air Force or Navy. This survey showed that higher personal and occupational stress was associated with higher risks of injury. SMs who experienced higher levels of personal or occupational stress reported higher risks of injuries. The effects of stress reduction programs on injury risks should be evaluated in military and other young physically active populations.

When peripheral venous access is indicated but cannot be obtained, the intraosseous route represents an alternative. The Bone Injection Gun (BIG) is the device used for intraosseous access by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). The purpose of this study is to assess the success rate of intraosseous access using this device. Method: The IDF Trauma Registry from 1999 to 2012 was searched for patients for whom at least 1 attempt at intraosseous access was made. Results: 37 attempts at intraosseous access were identified in 30 patients. Overall success rate was 50%. No differences in success rates were identified between different care givers. Overall mortality was 87%. Conclusion: The use of BIG in the IDF was associated with a low success rate at obtaining intraosseous access. Although inability to achieve peripheral venous access can be considered an indicator for poor prognosis, the high mortality rate for patients treated with BIG can also stand for the provider’s low confidence in using this tool, making its use a last resort. This study serves as an example to ongoing learning process that includes data collection, analysis, and improvement, constantly taking place in the IDF.

A significant percentage of patients undergo CT scans to exclude intracranial bleeds. The Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) is designed to rapidly determine whether a concussion has occurred, (0-30 scale, where >25 is considered normal). Although not intended to be used in isolation, results in the normal range are considered an indication of low suspicion of brain injury. This study evaluated the relationship between CT findings of structural injury (CT+) and performance on the SAC. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study on mild head-injured patients presenting to the emergency department who underwent CT scans and had SAC evaluations. Results: We enrolled 368 patients, of which 66 were read by a neuroradiologist as positive (CT+), with an average age of 46.7, and an average Glasgow Coma Scale of 14.85. 38.2% of these CT+ patients had a SAC score >25. There were no significant differences between time of injury and CT scan or SAC for those with high or low SAC scores. Both high and low SAC groups contained similar CT+ abnormalities (e.g., hematomas). Conclusions: These results indicate that a normal SAC score alone does not exclude intracranial injury.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/08/02/Aug2014 Supplement VL - 179 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 46 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Aim: Patients with severe bums typically undergo multiple surgeries, and ketamine is often used as part of the multimodal anesthetic regimen during such surgeries. The anesthetic ketamine is an /V-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist that also provides analgesia at subanesthetic doses, but the psychoactive side effects of ketamine have caused concern about its potential psychological effects on a combat-wounded population. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 30% of burned U.S. service members injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom/ Operation Enduring Freedom. A preliminary analysis by our research group reported that patients who received perioperative ketamine had a significantly lower prevalence of PTSD than those injured service members who did not receive ketamine. We have now expanded this research to examine the relationship between ketamine and PTSD development in a much larger population. Methods: A retrospective analysis on data from service members being treated for burns at the San Antonio Military Medical Center was conducted. Collected data included drugs received, injury severity score (ISS), total body surface area (TBSA) burned, length of hospital stay (LOS), number of intensive care unit days, number of surgeries, and PTSD Checklist-Military (PCL-M) scores and administration dates. Subjects were grouped based on intraoperative receipt of ketamine, and the groups were compared. The groups were binary for ketamine (yes or no), and dose of ketamine administered was not included in data analyses. Propensity score matching based on ISS and TBSA was performed to control for individual differences in burn severity. Results: Two hundred eighty-nine burned U.S. service members received the PCL-M at least 30 days after injury. Of these subjects, 189 received intraoperative ketamine, and 100 did not. Despite significantly greater injuries, as evidenced by significantly higher TBSA burned and ISS (p < 0.01), patients who received ketamine did not screen positive for PTSD at a different rate than those patients who did not (24% vs. 26.98%, p = 0.582). Patients receiving intraoperative ketamine also underwent a significantly greater number of surgeries, spent more time in the hospital, spent more days in the ICU, and received more morphine equivalent units (p < 0.0001). Propensity score matching based on ISS and TBSA resulted in a total subject number of 130. In the matched samples, subjects who received ketamine still underwent significantly more surgeries and experienced longer hospital stays (p < 0.0001). Again, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of a positive screen for PTSD based upon the receipt of ketamine (28% vs. 26.15%, p = 0.843). Conclusions: Ketamine is often used in bum patients to reduce opioid usage and decrease the hemodynamic and respiratory side effects. Although this study does not show a benefit of ketamine on PTSD development that was identified in previous work with a smaller sample number, it does support the conclusion that ketamine does not increase PTSD development in burned service members.

T1 - Pathophysiology of Blast-Induced Ocular Trauma With Apoptosis in the Retina and Optic Nerve. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/08/02/Aug2014 Supplement VL - 179 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 34 EP - 40 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Blast-induced ocular trauma is a frequent cause of morbidity for survivors of improvised explosive devices. Blast overpressure (BOP) of 120 ± 7 KPa has been shown to cause damage to lungs, brain, and gut in a rat model; however, the effects of BOP on ocular tissues have not been characterized. To elucidate the pathophysiology of blast-induced ocular trauma, ocular tissues from rats subjected to blast were examined for evidence of apoptosis by the detection of activated caspase 3 and TUNEL assay in their ocular tissues. Methods: A compressed air shock tube was used to deliver 120 ± 7 KPa of BOP for duration of 2 msec to the right side of the rats. Rats were then euthanized at specific time points after blast exposure (3 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours). Ocular tissues were processed for immunohistochemistry to detect activated caspase 3 and TUNEL assay. Tissues were evaluated for relative levels of positive signal as compared to nonblast exposed controls. Results: Activated caspase 3 was detected in the optic nerve, ganglion layer, and inner nuclear layer post blast exposure. At 24 and 48 hours, the inner nuclear layer from the right side had more cells with activated caspase 3. In the optic nerve, the highest levels of activated caspase 3 were detected on the right side at 24 hours post blast. Conclusion: BOP of 120 + 7 KPa induces optic neuropathy and retinal damage. In both the optic nerve and retina, caspase 3 was activated in the right and left sides following blast exposure. The results of this study reveal that blast exposure induces apoptosis in both the optic nerve and retinal tissues.

The effects of low-level blast exposure on high-contrast visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, oculomotor function, color vision, visual field (VF), pupillary light reflex, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cup-to-disc ratio were assessed using a battery of standard clinical ophthalmic tests administered 10 times over a 2-year period. Data from nine male breacher instructors (Cadre) were compared with data from four male breacher engineers (Control). The Cadre group showed higher vertical deviation at near than the Control group over time. The VF mean deviation on the left eye tended to be worse in the Cadre group throughout the study, suggesting a decrease in VF sensitivity (Cadre: -0.20 +/- 0.15 dB; Control: 1.05 +/- 0.15 dB; p = 0.03). The Cadre group had a reduced ECD (right eye: Cadre 2,478 cells/mm² vs Control 2,808 cells/ mm², p = 0.02; left eye: Cadre 2,562 cells/mm² vs Control 2,892 cells/mm², p = 0.03). These results suggest that even low-level primary blast has the potential to produce occult eye injury.

Design: Baseline localization testing was conducted in three listening conditions (open-ear, in-the-ear (ITE) EMHP, and over-the-ear (OTE) EMHP). Participants then wore either an ITE or OTE EMHP for 12, almost daily, one-hour training sessions. After training was complete, participants again underwent localization testing in all three listening conditions. A computer with a custom software and hardware interface presented localization sounds and collected participant responses. Study sample: Twelve participants were recruited from the student population at Virginia Tech. Audiometric requirements were 35 dBHL at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz bilaterally, and 55 dBHL at 4000 Hz in at least one ear. Results: Pre-training localization performance with an ITE or OTE EMHP was worse than open-ear performance. After training with any given listening condition, including open-ear, performance in that listening condition improved, in part from a practice effect. However, post-training localization performance showed near equal performance between the open-ear and training EMHP. Auditory learning occurred for the training EMHP, but not for the non-training EMHP; that is, there was no significant training crossover effect between the ITE and the OTE devices. Conclusion: It is evident from this study that auditory learning (improved horizontal localization performance) occurred with the EMHP for which training was performed. However, performance improvements found with the training EMHP were not realized in the non-training EMHP. Furthermore, localization performance in the open-ear condition also benefitted from training on the task.

(2015). Adalja et al. cite the death of an experimentally infected monkey 59 days after exposure1 to support the purported prolonged incubation period of inhalational anthrax. However, the course of disease in this animal was modified modified by the use of antibiotics for the 30 days after exposure, which prolonged the incubation period. Untreated animals in this study died at a mean of 5.6±1.1 days after exposure. The authors also cite a clinical trial of anthrax vaccine adsorbed in which non inferior immunogenicity was reported for the previous six-dose subcutaneous schedule as compared with the currently recommended five-dose intramuscular schedule. Thus, when the development of rapid immunity is desired before exposure, the original subcutaneous six-dose schedule should be considered, as is recommended for prophylaxis after exposure when administered with antibiotics.

Data from 65 men were examined retrospectively. BM fluctuations were monitored over 4 to 15 consecutive days. Group daily variation in BM was 0.51 ± 0.20 kg. Group coefficient of variation was 0.66 ± 0.24%, normally distributed, and not related to either absolute BM (r = 0.04) or number of measurements (r = 0.34). Three days resulted in a similar variability estimate compared to 6 or 9 d, although precision was improved with 9 d. In conclusion, 3 consecutive BM measurements provide an accurate assessment of daily BM variability, which is less than 1% for active men when replacing 100% of sweat losses during exercise. The data also suggest that daily BM is a sufficiently stable physiological parameter for potential daily fluid balance monitoring.

METHODS: Twenty-two men completed a 4-d (D1-4) baseline period (BL) of an energy balance diet while maintaining usual physical activity level, followed by 7 d (D5-11) of 1000 kcal.d increased energy expenditure via exercise (50-65% V O2peak). One group consumed 0.9 g of protein per kilogram per day and maintained energy balance throughout the 11-d intervention (BAL, N = 8). The other two groups consumed their BL energy intake throughout the 11 days, resulting in a 7-d, 1000-kcal.d energy deficit. These groups consumed either 0.9 g of protein per kilogram per day (DEF, N = 7) or 1.8 g of protein per kilogram per day (DEF-HP, N = 7). Mean nitrogen balance (NB), calculated per kilogram of fat-free mass (FFM), was determined for BL, days 5-8 (EX1), and days 9-11 (EX2). Whole-body protein turnover was derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine kinetics assessed while fasting at rest on days 4, 7, and 12, using a priming dose of L-[ring-N]tyrosine and a 4-h, primed, continuous infusion of L-[N]phenylalanine and L-[ring-H4]tyrosine. RESULTS: DEF experienced a decrease in NB from BL to EX 1 that was maintained in EX 2. No changes in NB occurred for BAL or DEF-HP over time. No within- or between-group differences were found over time for Phe flux (Qp), conversion rate of Phe to Tyr (Qpt), or the derived protein synthesis value (Sp). CONCLUSION: Increased dietary protein maintained NB during exercise-induced energy deficit, but this did not impact resting whole-body protein turnover.

The experience of the surgeon and the complexity of the surgery must be considered before attempting treatment. A static mandibular training model provides dentists with the opportunity to practice multiple surgical procedures to develop the skills that are necessary to treat patients competently and comprehensively. The mandible's unique anatomy presents a number of challenges when performing surgical procedures. A surgical model that makes it possible to practice multiple techniques benefits the surgeon by building the confidence to attempt more complex surgical procedures and thus provide patients with additional treatment options. This mandibular surgical model serves as a learning tool and provides an avenue for learning different surgical techniques that may be performed in various areas of the mandible. A number of procedures can be performed on the model, including the extraction of third molars, incision and drainage of a vestibular/buccal swelling, excisional biopsy of intrabony lesions, tori removal, initial implant alignment procedures, and suturing/flap designs. A number of these procedures can be performed on one model.

Because sport training programs involving weight-based training have proven effective, this study examined the value of such a program for short-term military training using combat-relevant tests. A male weight-based training (WBT) group (n = 15; mean +/- SD: 27.0 +/- 4.7 years, 173.8 +/- 5.8 cm, 80.9 +/- 12.7 kg) performed full-body weight-based training workouts, 3.2-km runs, interval training, agility training, and progressively loaded 8-km backpack hikes. A male Army Standardized Physical Training (SPT) group (n = 17; mean +/- SD: 29.0 +/- 4.6 years, 179.7 +/- 8.2 cm, 84.5 +/- 10.4 kg) followed the new Army Standardized Physical Training program of stretching, varied calisthenics, movement drills, sprint intervals, shuttle running, and distance runs. Both groups exercised for 1.5 hours a day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The following training-induced changes were statistically significant (P < 0.05) for both training groups: 3.2-km run or walk with 32-kg load (minutes), 24.5 +/- 3.2 to 21.0 +/- 2.8 (SPT) and 24.9 +/- 2.8 to 21.1 +/- 2.2 (WBT); 400-m run with 18-kg load (seconds), 94.5 +/- 14.2 to 84.4 +/- 11.9 (SPT) and 100.1 +/- 16.1 to 84.0 +/- 8.4 (WBT); obstacle course with 18-kg load (seconds), 73.3 +/- 10.1 to 61.6 +/- 7.7 (SPT) and 66.8 +/- 10.0 to 60.1 +/- 8.7 (WBT); 5 30-m sprints to prone (seconds), 63.5 +/- 4.8 to 59.8 +/- 4.1 (SPT) and 60.4 +/- 4.2 to 58.9 +/- 2.7 (WBT); and 80-kg casualty rescue from 50 m (seconds), 65.8 +/- 40.0 to 42.1 +/- 9.9 (SPT) and 57.6 +/- 22.0 to 44.2 +/- 8.8 (WBT). Of these tests, only the obstacle course showed significant difference in improvement between the two training groups. Thus, for short-term (i.e., 8-week) training of relatively untrained men, the Army's new Standardized Physical Training program and a weight-based training experimental program can produce similar, significant, and meaningful improvements in military physical performance. Further research would be needed to determine whether weight-based training provides an advantage over a longer training period.

METHODS: The Joint Theater Trauma Registry was queried for all US service members receiving treatment for wounds (International Classification of Diseases-9th Rev. codes 800-960) sustained in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom from October 2001 through January 2005. Returned-to-duty and nonbattle injuries were excluded from final analysis. RESULTS: This query resulted in 3,102 casualties, of which 31% were classified as nonbattle injuries and 18% were returned-to-duty within 72 hours. A total of 1,566 combatants sustained 6,609 combat wounds. The locations of these wounds were as follows: head (8%), eyes (6%), ears (3%), face (10%), neck (3%), thorax (6%), abdomen (11%), and extremity (54%). The proportion of head and neck wounds is higher (p < 0.0001) than the proportion experienced in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam wars (16%-21%). The proportion of thoracic wounds is a decrease (p < 0.0001) from World War II and Vietnam (13%). The proportion of gunshot wounds was 18%, whereas the proportion sustained from explosions was 78%. CONCLUSIONS: The wounding patterns currently seen in Iraq and Afghanistan resemble the patterns from previous conflicts, with some notable exceptions: a greater proportion of head and neck wounds, and a lower proportion of thoracic wounds. An explosive mechanism accounted for 78% of injuries, which is the highest proportion seen in any large-scale conflict. SN - 0022-5282 AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Ft.

Our goal was to investigate the dynamics of RRI complexity in burn patients. We hypothesized that the postburn period is associated with a state of low RRI complexity, and that successful resuscitation restores it. Electrocardiogram was acquired from 13 patients (age 55 +/- 5 years, total body surface area burned 36 +/- 6%, 11 +/- 5% full thickness) at 8, 12, 24, and 36 hours during postburn resuscitation. RRI complexity was quantified by approximate entropy (ApEn) and sample entropy (SampEn) that measure RRI signal irregularity, as well as by symbol distribution entropy and bit-per-word entropy that assess symbol sequences within the RRI signal. Data (in arbitrary units) are means +/- SEM. All patients survived resuscitation. Changes in heart rate and blood pressure were not significant. ApEn at 8 hours was abnormally low at 0.89 +/- 0.06. ApEn progressively increased after burn to 1.22 +/- 0.04 at 36 hours. SampEn showed similar significant changes. Symbol distribution entropy and bit-per-word entropy increased with resuscitation from 3.63 +/- 0.22 and 0.61 +/- 0.04 respectively at 8 hours postburn to 4.25 +/- 0.11 and 0.71 +/- 0.02 at 24 hours postburn. RRI complexity was abnormally low during the early postburn period, possibly reflecting physiologic deterioration. Resuscitation was associated with a progressive improvement in complexity as measured by ApEn and SampEn and complementary changes in other measures. Assessment of complexity may provide new insight into the cardiovascular response to burns. SN - 1559-047X AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Fort Sam Houston, Texas 78234-6315, USA.

DESIGN: Retrospective study of all U.S. casualties recorded for the current conflicts from the start in October 1, 2001 to June 1, 2006. SETTING: Records from U.S. military forward surgical teams (Level IIb) and combat support hospitals (Level III) in theater, evacuation (Level IV, Germany), and major military medical centers (Level V, United States). PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: All recorded U.S. military casualties from the Afghanistan and Iraq theaters with injuries requiring evacuation out of theater or prohibiting the individual from returning to duty for more than 72 hours. INTERVENTION: None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Major limb injury, level of amputation, principal mechanism of injury. RESULTS: Over the past 56 months, of the 8058 military casualties meeting the listed criteria, 5684 (70.5%) were recorded as having major limb injuries. Of these, 423 (5.2% of all serious injuries; 7.4% of major limb injuries) underwent major limb amputation or amputation at or proximal to the wrist or ankle joint. The mechanism of injury for 87.9% was some form of explosive device. The major amputation rate during Vietnam was 8.3% of major limb injuries. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, major limb amputation rates for the current U.S. engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq are similar to those of previous conflicts.

We summarize recent advances in our understanding of the transport, characterization, and remediation of chlorinated solvents in the vadose zone. Contamination of vadose-zone systems by chlorinated solvents is widespread and poses significant potential risk to human health through impacts on groundwater quality and vapor intrusion. Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is the presumptive remedy for such contamination and has been used successfully for innumerable sites; however, SVE operations typically exhibit reduced massremoval effectiveness at some point due to the impact of poorly accessible contaminant mass and associated mass-transfer limitations. Assessment of SVE performance and closure is currently based on characterizing contaminant mass discharge associated with the vadose-zone source and its impact on groundwater or vapor intrusion. These issues are addressed in this overview, with a focus on summarizing recent advances in our understanding of the transport, characterization, and remediation of chlorinated solvents in the vadose zone. The evolution of contaminant distribution with time and the associated impacts on remediation efficiency are discussed, as is potential impact of persistent sources on groundwater quality and vapor intrusion. In addition, alternative methods for site characterization and remediation are addressed.

This minireview proposes that the cardiovascular adjustments accompanying high skin temperatures (Tsk), alone or in combination with high core body temperatures (Tc), provide a primary explanation for impaired aerobic exercise performance in warm-hot environments. The independent (Tsk) and combined (Tsk + Tc) effects of hyperthermia reduce maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o2max), which leads to higher relative exercise intensity and an exponential decline in aerobic performance at any given exercise workload. Greater relative exercise intensity increases cardiovascular strain, which is a prominent mediator of rated perceived exertion. As a consequence, incremental or constant-rate exercise is more difficult to sustain (earlier fatigue) or requires a slowing of self-paced exercise to achieve a similar sensation of effort. It is proposed that high Tsk and Tc impair aerobic performance in tandem primarily through elevated cardiovascular strain, rather than a deterioration in central nervous system (CNS) function or skeletal muscle metabolism. Evaporative sweating is the principal means of heat loss in warm-hot environments where sweat losses frequently exceed fluid intakes. When dehydration exceeds 3% of total body water (2% of body mass) then aerobic performance is consistently impaired independent and additive to heat stress. Dehydration augments hyperthermia and plasma volume reductions, which combine to accentuate cardiovascular strain and reduce V̇o2max, Importantly, the negative performance consequences of dehydration worsen as Tsk increases.

Rapid cooling and support of multi-organ function are the most effective clinical treatments, but many patients experience permanent neurological impairments or death despite these efforts. The highest incidence of heat stroke deaths occurs in very young or elderly individuals during summer heat waves, with ~200 deaths per year in the United States. Young, fit individuals may experience exertional heat stroke while performing strenuous physical activity in temperate or hot climates. Factors that predispose to heat stroke collapse include pre-existing illness, cardiovascular disease, drug use, and poor fitness level. For decades the magnitude of the hyperthermic response in heat stroke patients was considered the primary determinant of morbidity and mortality. However, recent clinical and experimental evidence suggests a complex interplay between heat cytotoxicity, coagulation, and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that ensues following damage to the gut and other organs. Cytokines are immune modulators that have been implicated as adverse mediators of the SIRS, but recent data suggest a protective role for these proteins in the resolution of inflammation. Multi-organ system failure is the ultimate cause of mortality, and recent experimental data indicate that current clinical markers of heat stroke recovery may not adequately reflect heat stroke recovery in all cases. Currently heat stroke is a more preventable than treatable condition, and novel therapeutics are required to improve patient outcome.

We hypothesized that 1) HYPO and ALT would each degrade aerobic performance relative to sea level (SL)-euhydrated (EUH) conditions, and combining HYPO and ALT would further degrade performance more than one stressor alone; and 2) HYPO would increase the prevalence and severity of AMS symptoms. Seven lowlander men (25 ± 7 yr old; 82 ± 11 kg; mean ± SD) completed four separate experimental trials. Trials were 1) SL-EUH, 2) SL-HYPO, 3) ALT-EUH, and 4) ALT-HYPO. In HYPO, subjects were dehydrated by 4% of body mass. Subjects maintained hydration status overnight and the following morning entered a hypobaric chamber (at SL or 3,048 m, 27°(2) where they completed 30 min of submaximal exercise immediately followed by a 30-min performance time trial (TF). AMS was measured with the Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire-Cerebral Score (AMS-C) and the Lake Louise Scoring System (LLS). The percent change in TT performance, relative to SL-EUH, was -19 ± 12% (334 ± 64 to 278 ± 87 kJ), -11 ± 10% (334 ± 64 to 293 ± 33 kJ), and -34 ± 22% (334 ± 64 to 227 ± 95 kJ). for SL-HYPO, ALT-EUH, and ALT-HYPO, respectively. AMS symptom prevalence was 2/7 subjects at ALT-EUH for AMS-C and LLS and 5/7 and 4/7 at ALT-HYPO for AMS-C and LLS, respectively. The AMS-C symptom severity score (AMS-C score) tended to increase from ALT-EUH to ALT-HYPO but was not significant (P = 0.07). In conclusion, hypohydration at 3,048 m 1) degrades aerobic performance in an additive manner with that induced by ALT; and 2) did not appear to increase the prevalence/ severity of AMS symptoms.

One potential cause of underestimation for unattended items is that estimates of quantity may depend on viewing a large portion of the display within foveal vision. Another theory follows from the occupancy model: estimating quantity of items in greater proximity to one another increases the likelihood of an underestimation error. Three experimental manipulations addressed aspects of underestimation for unattended items: the size of the distracters, the distance of the target from fixation, and whether items were clustered together. Results suggested that the underestimation effect for unattended items was best explained within a Gestalt grouping framework.

Multivariable Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the rate of patellar dislocation per 1000 person-years at risk to injury. Incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for patellar dislocation along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by gender, age, race, branch of military service, and rank while controlling for the other variables in the model.Results: There were a total of 9299 individuals with documented patellar dislocation injuries among a population at risk of 13 443 448 person-years. The IR was 0.69 per 1000 person-years at risk. Women were 61% more likely (IRR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.53-1.69) to sustain a patellar dislocation injury than men. Rates were highest in the youngest age group and decreased with increasing age. Service members aged <20 years were 84% more likely (IRR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.61-2.10) to sustain a patellar dislocation injury as service members aged ≥40 years. Differences were also noted by race, service, and rank.Conclusion: The incidence of patellar dislocation injuries among US service members was an order of magnitude greater than that previously reported in civilian population studies. Gender, age, race, rank, and branch of military service are important risk factors related to the incidence of patellar dislocation injuries in this population.

Mice were anesthetized, the TA muscle exposed, and injury induced by applying a cold steel probe (−79°C) to the muscle for 10 s. Muscle was collected from uninjured and injured legs at 3, 10, 24, 48, and 72 h post-injury. qRT-PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to quantify/localize MMP-3 and TIMP-1. MMP-3 transcripts increased 19- and 12-fold, 10 and 24 h post-injury ( p < 0.01), respectively. TIMP-1 transcript levels increased 9-, 34-, and 60-fold, 10, 24, and 48 h post-injury ( p = 0.01), respectively, with a subsequent decrease 72 h post-injury ( p < 0.01). Protein levels of the pro-form of MMP-3 increased within 3 h post-injury and remained elevated ( p < 0.05). Active MMP-3 decreased over time, reaching a 72% decrease 72 h post-injury ( p < 0.05). TIMP-1 protein decreased 75% within 3 h post-injury, returning to baseline by 72 h post-injury. In response to injury, injured skeletal muscle preferentially produces increased levels of the latent form of the MMP-3 protein with a concomitant decrease in the active form, and a significant decrease in TIMP-1 expression. The altered pattern of MMP-3/TIMP-1 expression may be due to alterations in post-transcriptional mechanisms that are responsible for specific regulation of the MMP-3/TIMP-1 system. These data suggest that there is a disproportionate regulation of the MMP-3/TIMP-1 system following traumatic injury and this response may contribute to impaired extracellular matrix remodeling.

The pathoanatomy of first-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation events has not been defined, to our knowledge. Methods: As part of a prospective evaluation of all cases of shoulder instability sustained during one academic year in a closed cohort of military academy cadets, a total of thirty-eight first-time, traumatic, anterior glenohumeral subluxation events were documented. Clinical subluxation events were defined as incomplete instability events that did not require a manual reduction maneuver. Twenty-seven of those events were evaluated with plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging within two weeks after the injury and constitute the cohort studied. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were independently evaluated by a musculoskeletal radiologist blinded to the clinical history. Arthroscopic findings were available for the fourteen patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery. Results: Of the twenty-seven patients who sustained a first-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation, twenty-two were male and five were female, and their mean age was twenty years. Plain radiographs revealed three osseous Bankart lesions and two Hill-Sachs lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a Bankart lesion in twenty-six of the twenty-seven patients and a Hill-Sachs lesion in twenty-five of the twenty-seven patients. Of the fourteen patients who underwent surgery, thirteen had a Bankart lesion noted during the procedure. Of the thirteen patients who chose nonoperative management, four experienced recurrent instability. Two of the thirteen patients left the academy for nonmedical reasons and were lost to follow-up. The remaining seven patients continued on active-duty service and had not sought care for a recurrent instability event at the time of writing. Conclusions: First-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation events result in a high rate of labral and Hill-Sachs lesions. These findings suggest that clinical subluxation events encompass a broad spectrum of incomplete events, including complete separations of the articular surfaces with spontaneous reduction. A high index of suspicion for this injury in young athletes is warranted, and magnetic resonance imaging may reveal a high rate of pathologic changes, suggesting that a complete, transient luxation of the glenohumeral joint has occurred.

They worked through the Offices of the Surgeon General of the US Army and the US Navy, the National Research Council, the Board for the Coordination of Malarial Studies, the Office of Scientific Research and Development, the Australian Military Mission, and the British Medical Research Council, all in Washington, D.C. The Board for the Coordination of Malarial Studies, which the National Research Council established in November 1943 to guide research expansion and coordinate joint efforts, became the focal point for collaboration on research. These alliances produced hundreds of malarial studies and thousands of new compounds, some of which tested superior to traditional antimalarial drugs. This cooperative effort improved chemotheraphy for the prevention and treatment of malaria after years of neglect in the development of antimalarial drugs. This article focuses on the establishment of the Board for the Coordination of Malarial Studies, the development of new antimalarial drugs, and collaboration among the Allies on drug research. The latter produced special US-Australian and US-Britain relationships.

Difficulty communicating with the soldier, particularly "connecting for the first time," was one of the most frequently mentioned problems. This difficulty was more strongly related to the characteristics of the soldiers' units (i.e., type and location within Somalia) than to the characteristics of the soldiers themselves. Problems communicating during the deployment not only predicted the level of spousal stress during the deployment but also affected spousal support for the soldier's remaining in the army, the soldier's reenlistment intention, spousal support for peacekeeping missions, and familial adaptation to army life.

Cadets had higher scores on nine of ten scales than students entering a nonmilitary four-year public university, but most cohorts showed a consistent decrease in the "honesty" valuation over four years. This suggests military academies may need to emphasize honor education in order to maintain this value as important as it can be against the influences in society that tend to diminish its importance.

Analyzes data from the 1986 Department of Defense's Reserve Components Survey, matched with Reserve Components Common Personnel Data System files for 1985 to 1991. The estimates reveal that reenlistment probability increases with an increase in reserve earnings, especially as these match or surpass civilian wage opportunities. The attitudinal and affective variables, such as a spouse's favorable attitude toward the reservist's reenlistment or a reservist's satisfaction with military life, also increase reenlistment intentions. Reenlistment probability is, however, reduced if the reservist's primary job requires 45 or more hours per week, if a reservist's spouse is working for pay, or if a reservist spends a smaller percentage of time in the Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) for which the reservist is trained. The author discusses policy implications of these results in the context of increasing reenlistment.

Following Kohn's model of social structure and values, the authors hypothesize relationships between parental socioeconomic status and cadet orientations toward self-direction and conformity. Little support exists for the model. Rather, there seems to be an overwhelming degree of value consensus among cadets, which may be a function of self-selection and anticipatory socialization. This is manifested in an expressed admiration for conformity and an expressed dislike for independent action.

The framework for this theory stems from historical American patterns of warfare, particularly developments during the late 1940's and early 1950's that modified traditions, policies, and strategies. The author examines the writings of the limited war theorists through the early 1960's, analyzing their work using the "classical" theorists as a basis, and closes with a discussion of the implications of the theory of limited war for today.

Kaltenbach's career as a Nazi collaborator and propagandist. Born and raised in Iowa, anti-Semitic, and disdainful of democracy, Kaltenbach sincerely believed that fascism could save both the United States and Germany from Bolshevism. His radio programs for the German overseas shortwave broadcasting network (Deutsche Kurzwellensender), billed as letters home to Iowa, were an integral part of the Goebbels campaign to undermine enemy morale, keep America out of the war, and prevent President Roosevelt's reelection in 1940. Though all three efforts failed, Kaltenbach could still be heard in Iowa and elsewhere until early 1945.

Yet he implausibly portrayed technical officers as merely impediments to professionalism championed by line officers. The technical officers, who perceived themselves professionally threatened by both line officers and aggressive businessmen, were the necessary bridge between the army and the commercial world in the new era of industrial-based war. The study of officer professionalization should refocus to encompass their difficult and essential role.

AB - INTRODUCTION: The occurrence of organ failure following thermal injury, despite restoration of hemodynamic parameters and urine output during resuscitation, has led to efforts to measure end-organ perfusion. The purpose of this 24-h study was to evaluate the utility of gastrointestinal (GI) tonometry during burn shock and resuscitation. METHODS: Male swine (n=11, 23.3+/-0.9kg) were anesthetized with ketamine and propofol. A 70% full thickness burn was caused by immersion in 97 degrees C water for 30s. Resuscitation with lactated Ringer's, 4ml/kg/% burn, was begun at hour 6 and titrated to urine output (UO). Arterial blood gases and pulmonary artery catheter data were measured every 6h. Gastric and ileal regional PCO(2) (PrCO(2)) were measured continuously by air tonometry, and the gastric and ileal intramucosal pH (pHi) and PCO(2) gap (PrCO(2)-PaCO(2)) were calculated every 6h. RESULTS: Gastric pHi, ileal PrCO(2), ileal pHi, and ileal PCO(2) gap (but not gastric PrCO(2) or PCO(2) gap) all decreased with shock and were restored to baseline levels by resuscitation. Changes in ileal PrCO(2) were of greater magnitude and demonstrated decreased variability than those in gastric PrCO(2). CONCLUSIONS: In this model, ileal tonometry outperformed gastric tonometry during burn shock and resuscitation. SN - 0305-4179 AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, 3400 Rawley E.

We reviewed publications on AARD in non-U.S. military,immunocompetent, young adults in group-living settings. Since adenovirus disease can be severe in immunocompromised and pediatric patients, we also considered AARD in healthcare workers. We evaluated 83 publications, published between 1950 and 2005, concerning 22 countries. Most described outbreaks in foreign military recruits and were published before 1970. More recent reports documented outbreaks in student dormitories and medical facilities. The 83 reports did not provide evidence for AARD being a serious, persistent, contemporary concern in the populations studied, nor did they identify strong interest in adenovirus vaccines. Currently availability, sensitive, molecular diagnostic tests may better define the importance of AARD in populations outside the U.S. military.

Acinetobacter baumannii cells were inoculated (10(5) or 10(3) cells) on small coupons and dried overnight in a class II biosafety cabinet. Drying resulted in < or =50% loss of viability. The UVC fluence of 90 J/m2 was observed to be very effective in the decontamination of cells from all metal coupon surfaces (complete killing). However, the same fluence was ineffective in the decontamination of scrubs. The effectiveness of two other common disinfection practices, that is, 15 minutes of boiling or spraying with 70% ethanol, was investigated for the scrubs. Although ethanol treatment was ineffective, the boiling treatment was very effective (complete killing). These results establish that metal surfaces can be decontaminated with UVC irradiation and boiling treatment is effective for scrub decontamination.

Shortly after arrival, it was designated as the hospital primarily responsible for burn care for the U.S. military in Iraq. This report reviews the experience of the CSH with burn care during combat operations. METHODS: An after-action review was conducted during a 2-day period after the hospital's redeployment. RESULTS: Between April 11, 2003, and August 21, 2003, the 28th CSH treated a total of 7,920 patients, of whom 103 (1.3%) had burns. Patients included U.S. and allied service members, U.S. contractors, and Iraqi prisoners of war and civilians. Although a CSH is designed to care for patients until they can be stabilized and evacuated, usually within 1 to 3 days, the length of stay for some Iraqi patients was as long as 53 days. Definitive care, including excision and grafting of the burn wound, was thus required for some Iraqi patients. The largest graft completed comprised 40% of the total body surface area. The largest burn survived involved approximately 65% of the total body surface area. Eighteen (17%) of 103 patients returned to duty after treatment at the 28th CSH. The mortality rate for burn patients at the 28th CSH was 8%. Shortages of burn-experienced personnel and burn-specific supplies were identified during the after-action review. CONCLUSIONS: The CSH provided complex definitive care to burn patients in an austere environment. Predeployment identification of military field hospitals for such specialized missions, with early assignment of experienced personnel and materiel to these units, may improve future wartime burn care.

Since 2005, the Medical Situational Awareness in the Theater Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration has exploited advances in information technology, geographic information systems, and open systems architecture to produce a functioning prototype of a medical situational enhancement capability. In May 2006, this prototype supported the medical staff of a combined/joint task force in a realistic command postexercise featuring a simulated outbreak of influenza during Exercise COBRA GOLD in Thailand. The proliferation and maturation of geographic information systems present many opportunities for the military medical community to improve the health of the populations for which it is responsible.

AB - BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that women involved in similar activities as men are at increased risk for anterior cruciate ligament injuries. HYPOTHESIS: The incidence rate of complete anterior cruciate ligament tears for men and women in our athletic, college-aged population is similar. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology study. METHODS: Students graduating in class years 1994 to 2003 at our institution who sustained complete anterior cruciate ligament tears were assessed for mechanism of injury and type of sport played at time of injury. We calculated the incidence proportion, an estimation of risk, by gender and class year, and the incidence proportion ratio comparing men and women by class year. We also calculated incidence rates by gender and type of sport played and incidence rate ratios comparing men and women. RESULTS: There were 353 anterior cruciate ligament injuries in the 10 classes studied. We found an overall, 4-year incidence proportion of 3.24 per 100 (95% confidence interval, 2.89-3.63) for men and 3.51 (95% confidence interval, 2.65-4.65) for women (incidence proportion ratio, 1.09 [95% confidence interval, 0.80-1.47]). The overall anterior cruciate ligament injury rate, excluding male-only sports, was significantly greater in women (incidence rate ratio, 1.51 [95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.21]). We found significantly greater injury rates among women in a gymnastics course (incidence rate ratio, 5.67 [95% confidence interval, 1.99-16.16]), indoor obstacle course test (incidence rate ratio, 3.72 [95% confidence interval, 1.25-11.10]), and basketball (incidence rate ratio, 2.42 [95% confidence interval, 1.05-5.59]). CONCLUSION: We found little gender difference in the overall risk of an anterior cruciate ligament tear; however, there were gender differences in injury rates when specific sports and activities were compared and when male-only sports were removed from the overall rate assessment.

Most of these altitude-induced debilitations can be prevented or ameliorated by a wide range of physiological responses collectively referred to as altitude acclimatization. Acclimatization to a target altitude can be induced by slow progressive ascents or continuous sojourns at intermediate altitudes. However, this 'altitude residency' requirement reduces their utilization in rapid response military missions that exploit the air mobility capability of modern military forces to quickly deploy to an area of operations on short notice. A more recent approach to induce altitude acclimatization is the use of daily intermittent hypoxic exposures (IHE) in lieu of continuous residence at high altitudes. IHE treatments consist of three elements: 1) IHE simulated altitude (inspired oxygen partial pressure: PIO2), 2) IHE session duration, and 3) total number of IHE sessions over the treatment period. This paper reviews and summarizes the results of 25 published IHE studies. This review finds that an IHE altitude >/= 4000 m, and daily exposure duration of at least 1.5 h repeated over a week or more are required to have a high probability of developing altitude acclimatization. The efficacy of shorter duration (< 1.5 h) hypoxic exposures at >/= 4000 m simulated altitudes, and longer exposures (> 4 h) at moderate altitudes (2500-3500 m) is not well documented. The predominate IHE-induced altitude acclimatization response appears to be increased arterial oxygen content through ventilatory acclimatization. Thus, IHE is a promising approach to provide the benefits of altitude acclimatization to low-altitude-based soldiers before their deployment to high mountainous regions.

Medical records of 518 male and 43 female Army mechanics were screened for injuries during 1 year at a large U.S. Army installation. Weight, height, age, and ethnicity were also extracted from the medical records. Body mass index was calculated as weight/height2. Overall injury rates for men and women were 124 and 156 injuries/100 person-years, respectively, with a rate of 127 injuries/100 person-years for all soldiers combined. Women had higher overuse injury rates while men had higher traumatic injury rates. Limited duty days for men and women were 2,076 and 1,966 days/100 person-years, respectively. The lower back, knee, ankle, foot, and shoulder involved 61% of the injuries. Activities associated with injury included (in order of incidence) physical training, mechanical work, sports, airborne-related activities, road marching, garrison/home activities, and chronic conditions. Among the men, elevated injury risk was associated with higher body weight and higher body mass index. It may be possible to prevent many injuries by implementation of evidenced-based interventions currently available in the literature.

However, few data exist to support the rigid adherence to this arbitrary cutoff. We hypothesized that the physiologic hypoperfusion and mortality outcomes classically associated with hypotension were manifest at higher SBPs. METHODS: A total of 870,634 patient records from the National Trauma Data Bank with emergency department SBP and mortality data were analyzed. Patients (140,898) with severe head injuries, a Glasgow Coma Score < or =8, and base deficit (BD) <5, or missing data items were excluded from analysis. Admission BD, as a measure of metabolic hypoperfusion, was evaluated in 81,134 patients and mortality was plotted against SBP. RESULTS: Baseline mortality was <2.5%. However, at 110 mm Hg, the slope of the mortality curve increased such that mortality was 4.8% greater for every 10-mm Hg decrement in SBP. This effect was consistent to a maximum of 26% mortality at a SBP of 60 mm Hg. Hypoperfusion (change in the slope of BD curve) began to increase above baseline of 4.5 at a SBP 118 mm Hg. CONCLUSION: Taking the BD and mortality measurements together, this analysis shows that a SBP < or =110 mm Hg is a more clinically relevant definition of hypotension and hypoperfusion than is 90 mm Hg. This analysis will also be useful for developing appropriately powered studies of hemorrhagic shock.

Method: This review considers results from the lateral fluid percussion model of TBI, ballistic experiments in animal models and analyses of human studies. Results: Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that bullet impacts distant from the brain produce pressure waves that travel to the brain and can retain sufficient magnitude to induce brain injury. Conclusions: The link to long-term sequelae could be investigated via epidemiological studies of patients who were gunshot in the chest to determine whether they experience elevated rates of epilepsy and other neurological sequelae.

However, often the lessons learned were essentially personal, because the ability to transmit those lessons to other medical personnel was not systematized and organized. In past wars, the transmission of those lessons to other care providers was difficult and often long after the fact. Consultant visits were made and War Medicine conferences were held, but policy changes and actual changes in the mechanisms to provide care often lagged. Lessons learned often were not widely spread until years later. New capabilities in medical communications have permitted the development of real-time casualty care information exchange and rapid policy decision-making. This article describes one such effort.

A total of 263 soldiers completed a survey and participated in focus groups. The model's stressors were deactivation uncertainty, workload, and organizational constraints. The outcomes were well-being and turnover intentions. In general, most stressors did predict the proposed outcomes. That is, with high deactivation uncertainty, workload, or organizational constraints, reservists reported low psychological well-being and high turnover intentions. Commanders and policymakers can use our findings when addressing ways to improve reservists' psychological health and to decrease turnover intentions. Specifically, reservists need more predictability and the needed organizational conditions (i.e., proper workload levels and equipment) while activated and deployed to protect our country.

DESIGN:: Random and controlled study. SETTING:: Animal research facility and laboratory. SUBJECTS:: Yorkshire swine (n = 18). INTERVENTIONS:: Acidosis was induced in 12 pigs by infusing 0.2 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). When the target pH of 7.1 was achieved, the pigs were infused with either 0.3 M THAM to achieve pH of 7.4 (intervention group) or an equal volume of lactated Ringer's solution (acid control group). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:: Blood samples were taken at baseline, 15 mins after reaching pH of 7.1, and 15 mins after THAM pH neutralization. Coagulation function was assessed by thrombin generation, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, activated clotting time, and thromboelastography (maximum clot formation time [R+K], clotting rapidity [alpha], and clot strength [maximum amplitude]). An additional six pigs (sham group) were infused with THAM, and an equal volume of fluid as the 12 coagulopathic pigs was given to assess effects of THAM and hemodilution. Comparisons were made using a mixed model analysis of variance. No change in any indexes of coagulation was observed in sham pigs. Compared with baseline, acidosis of pH 7.1 decreased base excess from 6.6 +/- 0.5 mM to -12.4 +/- 0.5 mM; reduced fibrinogen levels to 72% +/- 2%, platelet counts to 53% +/- 3%, thrombin generation to 58% +/- 4%, alpha to 84% +/- 2%, and maximum amplitude to 75% +/- 3%; and prolonged prothrombin time to 113% +/- 2%, partial thromboplastin time to 122% +/- 4%, activated clotting time to 124% +/- 3%, and R + K to 119% +/- 3% (all p < .05). THAM infusion corrected pH to 7.40 +/- 0.02 and base excess to 2.6 +/- 0.9 mM (p < .05). However, there were no differences in thrombin generation, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, activated clotting time, R+K, alpha, or maximum amplitude between the groups with or without pH correction. CONCLUSIONS:: Acidosis impaired coagulation by depleting clotting factors, inhibiting thrombin generation, and affecting clot strength and stability. THAM corrected acid-base deficit but did not acutely reverse the coagulation abnormalities in the model. SN - 0090-3493 AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Ft. Sam Houston, TX.

In this report, we present analytical methodologies applicable to the characterization, purity determination and quantitation of S-330 in bulk material or formulations. High-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) interface or ultraviolet detector and nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (NMR) were used to identify and characterize S-330 and impurities in the synthetic lots or degradation products in formulations. Bulk synthesis using a chlorination process has yielded a product of 90% purity. The major impurity has been separated and identified structurally as the trichloro analog of S-330. Higher purity S-330 can be made using column chromatography, but this does not appear to be economical for large-scale production. Factors affecting the stability of S-330 in topical formulations include water content, pH, alcohols and UV light. Chloroamide S-330 decomposes at 50–60°C and is not amenable for GC analysis. The HPLC technique is superior to NMR or active chlorine assay in the purity determination for S-330 in bulk material or formulations. In topical formulations containing S-330, 5–10% of water can be tolerated, but alcohols and acidic and basic conditions should be avoided.

Cell sizes were measured using an Olympus image analysis system and mechanical properties, including breaking stress and plateau stress values achieved during compression, were measured using an Instron. Breaking and plateau stresses were negatively dependent on mean cell size and positively dependent on density in pure corn samples but the form of the relationship was altered by the presence of additives in the extrudates.

The moisture-dependent transition at an extremely low temperature (-90°C to -50°C) was due to humectants added, while that at a higher temperature T1 was possibly due to ice melting and the polymer components. T1 increased from ≈ - 10°C at 29% moisture to ≈ 150°C as moisture decreased to 2%. This correlated with hardening of the sample. A moisture independent transition at ≈ 10-15°C by DMA was identified as a melting process of lipids (shortening). During storage, the magnitude of tan δ peak decreased but its peak temperature did not change. No evidence of any network could be observed by DMA throughout 3 yr storage.

The loss in acetyllysine in 6 days at those temperatures was 22, 54, and 79%, respectively. The degradation data more clearly fit a double exponential function (AeBX+ CeDX) than the first order function, AeBX. An estimate of the activation energy of 36 kcal/ mol and a Q10 of 5.5 was computed from second order rate constants for acetyllysine and glucose degradation. The increase in color followed zero order kinetics and indicated an activation energy of 44 kcal/mol for the presumed third phase of the Maillard reaction in the solid state.

Similar putrid spoilage occurred at both concentrations, although the microflora differed. Two of 10 isolates from fresh and spoiled GB, nonfluorescent pseudomonads, produced putrid aromas but only 4 volatile compounds in common when inoculated into sterile GB. A MoraxelIa isolate produced a pronounced estery, decayed vegetable odor while others produced a decayed straw, ammoniacal or sour aroma. Differences in spoilage aromas apparently were not characterized by individual compounds but rather by the concentration of sulfur compounds and their ratio to other compound classes. Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide were indexes of microbial spoilage.

Studies conducted with activated sludge showed that GTN is amenable to aerobic degradation only in the presence of a primary carbon source, such as glucose. Kinetic experiments indicated that GTN is an inhibitory substrate whose presence during biodegradation, reduces substantially the microbial yield and the apparent maximum specific growth rate coefficient of primary substrates. However, in the range of concentrations tested (50 to 200 mg/L of GTN) its inhibitory effects are reversible. The biodegradation mechanism proceeds via a set of successive denitration reactions to form isomers of glycerol dinitrate (1,2‐GDN and 1,3‐GDN) and glycerol mononitrate (1‐GMN and 2‐GMN), which are subsequently degraded. Significant regioselectivity was observed during denitration of GTN and 1,2‐GDN favoring production of 1,3‐GDN and 1‐GMN. The rates of degradation of the metabolic products of GTN were slower at each denitration step with 2‐GMN exhibiting the lowest denitration rate. Aerobic GTN degradation ceased upon exhaustion of the primary substrate. Although, cosubstrate requirements during aerobic bioconversion of GTN were relatively high, in field applications the need for addition of external carbon sources will be minimal since GTN waste streams usually contain high amounts of BOD.

The animals were euthanized 24 hr after HD exposure and skin specimens were taken and fixed for morphometric evaluation for granulated mast cells with an image analysis system (IAS). A total of 32 exposure sites was taken and evaluated from four naive guinea pigs. All tissue specimens were processed in paraffin and sectioned at 5 μm. One section each was stained with Unna's stain for mast cells and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and evaluated by light microscopy. An average area of 6.48 × 105 μm2 of skin was examined per site with the IAS. The Unna's stain together with interference light filters on the IAS enhanced the contrast between mast cell granules and the background tissue, allowing the number of granulated mast cells to be determined. The number of pixels detected by the IAS represented the area occupied by mast cell granules. There were significantly fewer mast cells (p < 0.05) in either the 5 or 7 min HD exposure groups than in the sham-exposed animals, with significantly fewer mast cells in the 7 min HD than the 5 min HD group. There were also significantly smaller areas occupied by granules in either HD-exposed group than in sham-exposed animals. HD-induced lesions in the hairless guinea pig model have shown signs of an inflammatory response, and with their granules of vasoactive histamine, mast cells might be expected to play a role in HD-induced injury. Changes in mast cells exposed to low sulfur mustard levels, as detected by an IAS, may serve as an early marker for cutaneous damage, which might not be as easily determined with routine light microscopic examination.

Production estimates were compared to estimates of benthic consumption by blue crabs, shrimp, and epibenthic fish. There was no evidence that dredged material disposal had a detrimental impact on benthic production; however, production was low throughout the entire bay the year following dredged material disposal, which may have obscured an assessment of the impact of disposal. In fact, disposal sites yielded both the highest production estimates and species richness in both the upper and lower bay areas 2 yr after disposal. Of the five estimation methods used, two that incorporated environmental parameters (temperature and depth) yielded similar and moderate results, ranging from 1.1 g ash-free dry weight m2 yr1 to 26.9 g ash-free dry weight (AFDW) m−2 yr−1 over the 4 yr studied. Daily food ration estimates applied to fishery-independent trawl-survey data yielded overall benthic consumption estimates ranging from 1.1 g AFDW m−2 to 1.7 g AFDW m−2. A second method of estimating consumption, which used transfer efficiency estimates and annual fisheries statistics produced slightly lower benthic consumption estimates (0.72–1.13 g AFDW m−2). The average consumption estimate exceeded benthic production in the upper bay in one of the 4 yr for which benthic production was estimated. In years with high benthic production, the estimated benthic food requirement of epibenthic predators was roughly 10–15% of benthic production. Variation in annual benthic production estimates was two to three times greater than the variation in consumption estimates.

The basic concept is to freeze a thin layer of sludge on a continuously moving fabric belt. Sludge is attached to the belt by a vacuum drum belt filter which also removes one-half of the water and thus reduces the amount of sludge to be frozen. Filter leaf tests were conducted to determine the operational parameters and approximate production rates of this concept. These tests show that freezing alum sludge in thin layers will separate out the water as ice crystals and transform the solids into the same type of granular material produced in natural freezing beds. The average production rate of frozen sludge was 6.5 kg/hr.m² at -20°C. The belt area needed for a 10,000-m³/day plant was estimated to be 48 m². This concept has been patented by the U.S. Patent Office.

An ideal soil such as kaolinite was often used, and testing was frequently restricted to an individual contaminant or a small group of contaminants. However, actual waste sites consist of soils that are usually quite different from kaolinite, and many sites are polluted by a large number of mixed contaminants. Therefore, this preliminary study was undertaken to assess electrokinetic performance on a sitespecific field soil and a simulated sludge mixture containing mixed wastes in the form of metals, Organic compounds, and radionuclides. Bench-scale experiments showed that the field soil had a high buffering capacity that resulted in high pH conditions throughout the soil, whereas the simulated sludge had a low buffering capacity that resulted in low pH conditions except near the cathode. The high pH conditions in the soil allowed the migration of anionic metallic contaminants, such as hexavalent chromium, but inhibited the migration of cationic metallic contaminants, such as cadmium. The low pH conditions in the sludge allowed simultaneous migration of both anionic and cationic contaminants in opposite directions, respectively, but the synergistic effects of co-contaminants retarded contaminant removal. The removal of organic compounds and radionuclides from both the soil and the sludge were achieved. However, additional research is warranted to systematically investigate the synergistic effects and the fate of different contaminants as well as to develop electrode-conditioning systems that enhance contaminant migration.

A hazardous waste minimization assessment was conducted recently at five military installations. Sources and types of waste somewhat varied among the installations. Major waste sources included motor pools and vehicle maintenance facilities; industrial maintenance and small arms shops; aviation maintenance facilities; paint shops; photography, arts and crafts shops; and hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. Typical waste streams included used engine oil, cleaning and degreasing solvents, paint thinners, antifreeze and coolants, batteries, inks, and pathological wastes. Source reduction, recycling, and treatment were considered as the three major modes of waste minimization. Through lifecycle cost analysis, feasible modes of waste minimization are presented.

JO - Urban Ecosystems JF - Urban Ecosystems Y1 - 1999/10// VL - 3 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 305 EP - 343 SN - 10838155 AB - This chapter examines the societal drivers of environmental change in South Florida''s Everglades region during the past 150 years. This historical geography is developed through the use of a conceptual framework constructed to facilitate the analysis of human–environment interactions and nature–society systems of ecological degradation and restoration at the regional scale. The framework is composed of four basic interlinked components: interaction mechanisms (e.g., land use, direct resource utilization, pollution and external inputs, resource competition), feedback mechanisms (e.g., basic needs, quality of life, environmental ethics), control systems (e.g., governmental regimes, legal institutions, resource management), and the societal context (e.g., population and demographic patterns, social structure and organization, technology, economic conditions, societal values). A primary objective of this chapter is to determine the presence and importance of each of these components during the process of environmental change over the period of study—1845 to 1995.Data for the analysis are drawn from primary and secondary sources on the environmental, social, economic, and political history of South Florida. The results indicate that although elements of each component were present throughout the entire period, different elements of each component play more significant roles at differing moments. The shifts in importance are used to define four periods of environmental change within the region. The periods are the following: (1) frontier settlement (1845–1900), focused on basic needs acquisition and direct utilization of the resource base; (2) drainage and land conversion (1900–1930), focused on population and economic growth, land use change, and increased resource management and competition; (3) flood control and consolidation (1930–1950), focused on inputs from external sources and infusion of advanced technology, the development of governance and social structures, and increased concern for quality of life; (4) postwar boom, flood control, and water supply (1950–1970), focused on accelerated land use change, increased pollution, and further heightened concern for local quality of life; and (5) period of limits (1970–1995), focused on pollution and resource competition concerns, a developing regional environmental ethic and amenity values, and environmental preservation governance strategies.Taken together, the five periods represent the differing nature–society systems through which South Florida''s regional ecosystem was degraded and which is now entering a phase of restoration.

The historical Everglades marsh covered 10,000 kmh> in a 100-km-long basin that has an extremely low gradient (slope of only 3 cm · km^−1). The region is characterized by a heterogeneous landscape that has developed over the past five millennia, functioning as an interconnected mosaic of wetland, upland, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. The boundaries of this system were defined as the historic drainage basin from the Kissimmee River system through Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, Florida Bay, and out through the Florida Keys to the coral reef tract. This geographic area is interconnected through the regional hydrology, with its unifying surface and subsurface freshwater transport system. However, in the final analysis, the interaction of geologic and climatic processes determine the system's hydrology, a major determinant of community and landscape structure and the point of connectivity between natural and human systems. This review examines the role of climate, geology, soils and sediments, topography, and hydrology in shaping and modifying ecological systems through time. However, it is clear from the wetland nature of this system that the predrainage hydrologic features were critical to the sustainability of the Everglades. Important hydrologic features include sufficient water quantity, storage, and sheetflow, and the appropriate hydroperiod and timing of water releases over both annual and interannual variations in precipitation.

A monitoring study conducted by the Galveston District, U.S. Corps of Engineers, revealed lower croaker and brown shrimp abundances for 3 years following the diversion compared to their abundances during 3 pre-diversion years. No changes in the abundances of white shrimp, blue crabs and spot were evident in this monitoring study. The relative distributions of these common epifaunal organisms within the eastern arm of the bay, where the redirected river-mouth empties, did not change following the diversion. Analyses of data (1982–1995) from a long-term trawl-survey programme conducted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) indicated that the catches of common epibenthic organisms in the eastern arm of the bay following the diversion were also within the range of historic variation. Species richness decreased significantly at the eastern stations where salinities were lower following the diversion. Commercial fishery landings of most species in the post-diversion period were within the range of historic variation. Oyster landings, however, were consistently low for the 4 years for which post-diversion data were available, probably because previously harvestable reefs were lost to sedimentation and burial close to the redirected river mouth. Prior to the diversion (1970–1991), oyster landings were negatively associated with the same year's maximum annual river flows and the duration of low flows (<14 m 3 s −1 ) 2 years previous ( r 2 =0·63, P <0·001). The regression results indicate that post-diversion increases in freshwater inflows during low flow periods will likely benefit oyster harvests 2 years later Increases to oyster yields may take several more years to be realized and will be contingent upon the success of harvests from the newly created oyster reefs along the northern bay arm.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 1997/12// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - journal article SP - 651 EP - 658 SN - 00187208 AB - We measured the accuracy with which sounds heard over a binaural, end-fire array could be located when the angular separation of the array's two arms was varied. Each individual arm contained nine cardioid electret microphones, the responses of which were combined to produce a unidirectional, band-limited pattern of sensitivity. We assessed the desirable angular separation of these arms by measuring the accuracy with which listeners could point to the source of a target sound presented against high-level background noise. We employed array separations of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees, and signal-to-noise ratios of +5, -5, and -15 dB. Pointing accuracy was best for a separation of 60 degrees; this performance was indistinguishable from pointing during unaided listening conditions. In addition, the processing of the array was modeled to depict the information that was available for localization. The model indicates that highly directional binaural arrays can be expected to support accurate localization of sources of sound only near the axis of the array. Wider enhanced listening angles may be possible if the forward coverage of the sensor system is made less directional and more similar to that of human listeners.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 78 IS - 23/24 M3 - Article SP - 1385 EP - 1408 SN - 15287394 AB - Anecdotal reports in the press and epidemiological studies suggest that deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan may be associated with respiratory diseases and symptoms in U.S. military personnel and veterans. Exposures during military operations were complex, but virtually all service members were exposed to high levels of respirable, geogenic dust. Inhalation of other dusts has been shown to be associated with adverse health effects, but the pulmonary toxicity of ambient dust from Iraq has not been previously studied. The relative toxicity of Camp Victory dust was evaluated by comparing it to particulate matter from northern Kuwait, a standard U.S. urban dust, and crystalline silica using a single intratracheal instillation in rats. Lung histology, protein levels, and cell counts were evaluated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid 1–150 d later. The Iraq dust provoked an early significant, acute inflammatory response. However, the level of inflammation in response to the Iraq dust, U.S. urban dust, and Kuwait dust rapidly declined and was nearly at control levels by the end of the study At later times, animals exposed to the Iraq, U.S. urban, or Kuwait dusts showed increased small airway remodeling and emphysema compared to silica-exposed and control animals without evidence of fibrosis or premalignant changes. The severity and persistence of pulmonary toxicity of these three dusts from the Middle East resemble those of a U.S. urban dust and are less than those of silica. Therefore, Iraq dust exposure is not highly toxic, but similar to other poorly soluble low-toxicity dusts.

JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2016/04/02/Apr2016 Supplement VL - 56 M3 - journal article SP - S190 EP - S202 SN - 00411132 AB - Recent combat experience reignited interest in transfusing whole blood (WB) for patients with life-threatening bleeding. US Army data indicate that WB transfusion is associated with improved or comparable survival compared to resuscitation with blood components. These data complement randomized controlled trials that indicate that platelet (PLT)-containing blood products stored at 4°C have superior hemostatic function, based on reduced bleeding and improved functional measures of hemostasis, compared to PLT-containing blood products at 22°C. WB is rarely available in civilian hospitals and as a result is rarely transfused for patients with hemorrhagic shock. Recent developments suggest that impediments to WB availability can be overcome, specifically the misconceptions that WB must be ABO specific, that WB cannot be leukoreduced and maintain PLTs, and finally that cold storage causes loss of PLT function. Data indicate that the use of low anti-A and anti-B titer group O WB is safe as a universal donor, WB can be leukoreduced with PLT-sparing filters, and WB stored at 4°C retains PLT function during 15 days of storage. The understanding that these perceived barriers are not insurmountable will improve the availability of WB and facilitate its use. In addition, there are logistic and economic advantages of WB-based resuscitation compared to component therapy for hemorrhagic shock. The use of low-titer group O WB stored for up to 15 days at 4°C merits further study to compare its efficacy and safety with current resuscitation approaches for all patients with life-threatening bleeding.

JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2016/04/02/Apr2016 Supplement VL - 56 M3 - journal article SP - S182 EP - S189 SN - 00411132 AB - Hemorrhagic shock is both a local and systemic disorder. In the context of systemic effects, blood loss may lead to levels of reduced oxygen delivery (DO2 ) sufficient to cause tissue ischemia. Similar to other physiologic debts such as sleep, it is not possible to incur a significant oxygen debt and suffer no consequences for lack of timely repayment. While the linkage between oxygen debt and traditional organ failure (renal, hepatic, lung, and circulation) has been long recognized, we should consider failure in two additional linked and very dynamic organ systems, the endothelium and blood. These systems are very sensitive to oxygen debt and at risk for failing, having further implications on all other organ systems. The degree of damage to the endothelium is largely modulated by the degree of oxygen debt. Thus hypoperfusion is believed to begin a cascade of events leading to acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC). This combination of oxygen debt driven endothelial damage and ATC might be considered collectively as "blood failure" due to the highly connected networks between these drivers. This article presents the implications of oxygen debt for remote damage control resuscitation strategies, such as permissive hypotension and hemostatic resuscitation. We review the impact of whole blood resuscitation and red blood cell efficacy in mitigation of oxygen debt. At last, this article recognizes the need for simple and durable, lightweight equipment that can detect the adequacy of tissue DO2 and thus patient needs for resuscitative care. Point-of-care lactate measuring may be a predictive tool for identifying high-risk trauma patients and occult shock because it provides information beyond that of vital signs and mechanism of injury as it may help predict the level of oxygen debt accumulation and need for resuscitation. Serial measurements may also be valuable as a tool in guiding resuscitative efforts.

JO - Journal of the American Academy of Audiology JF - Journal of the American Academy of Audiology Y1 - 2015/11//Nov/Dec2015 VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 838 EP - 855 SN - 10500545 AB - Background: Frequency-lowering (FL) algorithms are an alternative method of providing access to high- frequency speech cues. There is currently a lack of independent research addressing: (1) what functional, measureable benefits FL provides; (2) which, if any, FL algorithm provides the maximum benefit, (3) how to clinically program algorithms, and (4) how to verify algorithm settings. Purpose: Two experiments were included in this study. The purpose of Experiment 1 was to (1) deter mine if a commercially available nonlinear frequency compression (NLFC) algorithm provides benefit as measured by improved speech recognition in noise when fit and verified using standard clinical procedures; and (2) evaluate the impact of acclimatization. The purpose of Experiment 2 was to (1) evaluate the benefit of using enhanced verification procedures to systematically determine the optimal application of a prototype NLFC algorithm, and (2) determine if the optimized prototype NLFC settings provide benefit as measured by improved speech recognition in quiet and in noise. Research Design: A single-blind, within-participant repeated measures design in which participants served as their own controls. Study Sample: Experiment 1 included 26 participants with a mean age of 68.3 yr and Experiment 2 included 37 participants with a mean age of 68.8 yr. Participants were recruited from the Audiology and Speech Pathology Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Intervention: Participants in Experiment 1 wore bilateral commercially available hearing aids fit using standard clinical procedures and clinician expertise. Participants in Experiment 2 wore a single prototype hearing aid for which FL settings were systematically examined to determine the optimum application. In each experiment, FL-On versus FL-Off settings were examined in a variety of listening situations to determine benefit and possible implications. Data Collection and Analysis: In Experiment 1, speech recognition measures using the QuickSIN and Modified Rhyme Test stimuli were obtained at initial bilateral fitting and 3-5 weeks later during a follow-up visit. In Experiment 2, Modified Rhyme Test, /se/, /fa/ consonant discrimination task, and dual-task cognitive load speech recognition performance measures were conducted. Participants in Experiment 2 received four different systematic hearing aid programs during an initial visit and speech recognition data were collected over 2-3 follow-up sessions. Results: Some adults with hearing loss obtained small-to-moderate benefits from implementation of FL, while others maintained performance without detriment in both experiments. There was no significant difference among FL-On settings systematically obtained in Experiment 2. There was a modest but significant age effect in listeners of both experiments that indicated older listeners (>65 yr) might benefit more on average from FL than younger listeners. In addition, there were reliable improvements in the intelligibility of the phonemes /r)/ and /b/ for both groups, and /3/ for older listeners from the FL in both experiments. Conclusions: Although the optimum settings, application, and benefits of FL remain unclear at this time, there does not seem to be degradation in listener performance when FL is activated. The benefits of FL should be explored in older adult (>65 yr) listeners, as they tended to benefit more from FL applications.

There is no licensed treatment or vaccine against the virus, underscoring the need for efficacious countermeasures. We ascertained that a human survivor of the 1995 Kikwit Ebola virus disease outbreak maintained circulating antibodies against the Ebola virus surface glycoprotein for more than a decade after infection. From this survivor we isolated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize recent and previous outbreak variants of Ebola virus and mediate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. Strikingly, monotherapy with mAb114 protected macaques when given as late as 5 days after challenge. Treatment with a single human mAb suggests that a simplified therapeutic strategy for human Ebola infection may be possible.

The prototypical 2D material molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is reported to have a maximum QYof 0.6%, which indicates a considerable defect density. Here we report on an air-stable, solution-based chemical treatment by an organic superacid, which uniformly enhances the photoluminescence and minority carrier lifetime of MoS2 monolayers by more than two orders of magnitude. The treatment eliminates defect-mediated nonradiative recombination, thus resulting in a final QYofmore than 95%, with a longest-observed lifetime of 10.8 0.6 nanoseconds. Our ability to obtain optoelectronic monolayers with near-perfect properties opens the door for the development of highly efficient light-emitting diodes, lasers, and solar cells based on 2D materials.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 2015/10/02/ VL - 350 IS - 6256 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 75 SN - 00368075 AB - We used statistical mechanics to design polymers that defy conventional wisdom by self-assembling into "megasupramolecules" (≥5000 kg/mol) at low concentration (≤0.3 weight percent).Theoretical treatment of the distribution of individual subunits--end-functional polymers--among cyclic and linear supramolecules (ring-chain equilibrium) predicts that megasupramolecules can format low total polymer concentration if, and only if, the backbones are long (>400 kg/mol) and end-association strength is optimal. Viscometry and scattering measurements of long telechelic polymers having polycyclooctadiene backbones and acid or amine end groups verify the formation of megasupramolecules. They control misting and reduce drag in the same manner as ultralong covalent polymers. With individual building blocks short enough to avoid hydrodynamic chain scission (weight-average molecular weights of 400 to 1000 kg/mol) and reversible linkages that protect covalent bonds, these megasupramolecules overcome the obstacles of shear degradation and engine incompatibility.

The reason for this situation was German and Allied anxiety over the recreation of a "Generalstab." With unification, Germany now requires the ability to employ the Bundeswehr in less than war operations, which, therefore, requires a modest national capability to direct operations outside of NATO wartime command structures, i.e., a "J-3." This article details the evolution in the development of the modest centralization of operational control structures in the German Ministry of Defense and within the three armed services themselves. Integral to understanding this slow and stilted evolution in the ministry and the Bundeswehr is the sensitivity that continues to overshadow many key aspects of civil-military relations in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Data collection and visualization of this field provide a useful diagnostic tool to better understand electromagnetic launcher operation. This paper outlines an effort to visualize these fields during firing. The diagnostic tool is based on a ferrofluid that becomes strongly polarized in the presence of a magnetic field. A commercial off-the-shelf flexible film, incorporating microencapsulated ferrofluid, was draped along the top of a railgun during operation. High-speed video capture of launch provided proof of principle that the dynamics of magnetic field formation could be recorded. Conformal mapping of the video provided quantitative contours for validation of numerical models.

One of the most prominent of these "traditionalists" was Brigadier General Hamilton S. Hawkins. Hawkins contended that mechanized vehicles would never be capable or numerous enough to completely eliminate the use of horse cavalry. Even as mechanized forces dominated the battlefield during World War II, Hawkins continued to write about the need for horse cavalry. Faced with overwhelming evidence in favor of mechanized vehicles, Hawkins ultimately demonstrated that his advocacy of the horse was a matter of faith and not of empirical evidence.

The design integrates a ferroelectric coplanar waveguide phase shifter with the continuous transverse stub (CTS) array. The phase shifter employs a multi-dielectric substrate and includes a thin layer of silicon dioxide between the signal conductors and the ferroelectric material to reduce the insertion losses and produce good impedance matching. The coplanar waveguide-based multi-dielectric layer design demonstrated an effective ferroelectric biasing architecture and exhibited an increase in figure of merit by up to 8deg/dB from that of the direct metallization approach. An integrated two elements phased array antenna is developed and demonstrates linearly polarized radiation with +/-20deg of beam scanning between the unbiased and biased states of the ferroelectric phase shifter [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The attenuating effects of trees as well as those due to diffraction over the buildings are investigated. A new radio wave propagation prediction model based on the combined method of ray tracing and diffraction (CMRTD) is proposed. A row of trees is modeled as a two-dimensional (2-D) cylinder. It is then represented by an equivalent phase object (EPO); a row of buildings is replaced by an absorbing screen. The position and size of the EPO as well as the amplitude and phase distributions of the input field at the EPO are determined by ray tracing. Next the scattered field is computed by the Kirchhoff diffraction theory. Among the numerical results are those of the scattering from a row of trees with circular or elliptic canopies and the scattering from a row of trees/buildings configuration. The calculations treat both plane- and cylindrical-incident waves. By comparing the results with those obtained from the exact eigenfunction expansion method, we show that the CMRTD is an accurate and efficient method to calculate the scattering from a 2-D cylinder. Moreover, the range of the validity of using the CMRTD to model the scattering from one row of trees is determined.

The method is validated by comparison with data obtained from a recently developed more rigorous mode-matching method. Excellent agreement is obtained over the physically important angular range from endfire to broadside for the TE case and over the angular range spanned by the major lobe for the TM case.

An integral equation for the tangential electric field in the slot aperture of a perfectly conducting, infinitesimally thin-walled circular cylinder is solved using a basis set of Chebyshev polynomials that are properly weighted according to the static edge condition. The resulting matrix elements from a Galerkin procedure are computed to high precision upon extracting the logarithmic singularity of the kernel of the integral operator. Exact expressions for the matrix elements, in the form of rapidly convergent series of elementary terms, are constructed by isolating another logarithmic function of the aperture width. A minimization of the mean-square error between the true plane-wave response and that due to a near-field line-source establishes the optimal complex source strength of the near-field source.

In addition to the environmental benefits of removing lead compounds from electronic manufacturing, gold-tin eutectic also exhibits desirable mechanical properties such as high strength and low thermal fatigue. However, some methods of deposition for this solder require complicated processes or limit the minimum bump size. This paper explores the formation of AuSn eutectic solder bumps using sequential electrodeposition of Au and Sn to determine the effect of layer thickness and sequence on the composition and structure of the resulting solder bump.

This algorithm utilizes the zero or the minimum points of the histogram of an image and slightly modifies the pixel grayscale values to embed data into the image. It can embed more data than many of the existing reversible data hiding algorithms. It is proved analytically and shown experimentally that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the marked image generated by this method versus the original image is guaranteed to be above 48 dB. This lower bound of PSNR is much higher than that of all reversible data hiding techniques reported in the literature. The computational complexity of our proposed technique is low and the execution time is short. The algorithm has been successfully applied to a wide range of images, including commonly used images, medical images, texture images, aerial images and all of the 1096 images in CorelDraw database. Experimental results and performance comparison with other reversible data hiding schemes are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

The simulated Tbs are then used to examine the influence that surface roughness has on two operational sea ice algorithms, namely: 1) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Team (NT) algorithm and 2) the enhanced NT algorithm, as well as the impact of roughness on the AMSR-E snow depth algorithm. Surface snow and ice data collected during the AMSR-Ice03 field campaign held in March 2003 near Barrow, AK, were used to force the radiative transfer model, and resultant modeled Tbs are compared with airborne passive microwave observations from the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer. Results indicate that passive microwave Tbs are very sensitive even to small variations in incidence angle, which can cause either an over- or underestimation of the true amount of sea ice in the pixel area viewed. For example, this paper showed that if the sea ice areas modeled in this paper were assumed to be completely smooth, sea ice concentrations were underestimated by nearly 14% using the NT sea ice algorithm and by 7% using the enhanced NT algorithm. A comparison of polarization ratios (PRs) at 10.7, 18.7, and 37 GHz indicates that each channel responds to different degrees of surface roughness and suggests that the PR at 10.7 GHz can be useful for identifying locations of heavily ridged or rubbled ice. Using the PR at 10.7 GHz to derive an "effective" viewing angle, which is used as a proxy for surface roughness, resulted in more accurate retrievals of sea ice concentration for both algorithms. The AMSR-E snow depth algorithm was found to be extremely sensitive to instrument calibration and sensor viewing angle, and it is concluded that more work is needed to investigate the sensitivity of the gradient ratio at 37 and 18.7 GHz to these factors to improve snow depth retrievals from spaceborne passive microwave sensors.

The difficulty with validating these two variables is that neither can currently be measured other than in situ. For this reason, two aircraft flights on March 13 and 19, 2003, were dedicated to these products, and flight lines were coordinated with in situ measurements of snow and sea ice physical properties. One flight was in the vicinity of Barrow, AK, covering Elson Lagoon and the adjacent Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The other flight was farther north in the Beaufort Sea (about 730 N, 147.5° W) and was coordinated with a Navy ice camp. The results confirm the AMSR-E snow depth algorithm and its coefficients for first-year ice when it is relatively smooth. For rough first-year ice and for multiyear ice, there is still a relationship between the spectral gradient ratio of 19 and 37 GHz, but a different set of algorithm coefficients is necessary. Comparisons using other AMSR-E channels did not provide a clear signature of sea ice characteristics and, hence, could not provide guidance for the choice of algorithm coefficients. The limited comparison of in situ snow-ice interface and surface temperatures with 6-GHz brightness temperatures, which are used for the retrieval of ice temperature, shows that the 6-GHz temperature is correlated with the snow-ice interface temperature to only a limited extent. For strong temperature gradients within the snow layer, it is clear that the 6-GHz temperature is a weighted average of the entire snow layer.

Snow-depth data collected near Point Barrow, Alaska, as part of the AMSR-Ice03 Field Validation Campaign for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR)-E-Sea-Ice Products from the NASA Earth Observing System Aqua satellite, are analyzed and compared to P-3 Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) data, a proxy for AMSR-E brightness temperatures. The approach taken in the analysis is geostatistical characterization. Vario functions of first and second order are calculated for the snow-depth profiles, then geostatistical classification parameters are extracted and combined into feature vectors, on which the characterization is based. The complexity of sea ice requires a generalization of the method by introduction of the hyperparameter concept. Results include a quantitative characterization of sea-ice provinces from field transects in the Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Elson La- goon, which represent a good subset of Arctic sea-ice types, an internal segmentation of the longer profiles, and a derivation of surface-roughness length and of sea-ice-type complexity. PSR data reflect complexity of spatial snow-depth structures as captured in multidimensional feature vectors and, less directly, snow-depth and surface-roughness length. These results indicate that passive-microwave data in general may be affected by spatial snow depth and surface roughness, with a dependence on scale and quantified by geostatistical classification.

The data fusion allows delineation of the shore-fast ice and pack ice in the Barrow area, AK, into several ice classes. Results show good agreement between observed and Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR)-derived snow depths over relatively smooth ice, with larger differences over ridged and rubbled ice. The PSR results are consistent with the effects on snow depth of the spatial distribution and nature of ice roughness, ridging, and other factors such as ice age. Apparent relationships exist between ice roughness and the degree of depolarization of emission at 10, 19, and 37 GHz. This depolarization would yield overestimates of total ice concentration using polarization-based algorithms, with indications of this seen when the NT-2 algorithm is applied to the PSR data. Other characteristics of the microwave data, such as effects of grounding of sea ice and large contrast between sea ice and adjacent land, are also apparent in the PSR data. Overall, the results further demonstrate the importance of macroscale ice roughness conditions such as ridging and rubbling on snow depth and microwave emissivity.

The goal of this campaign was to produce an extensive dataset of sea ice thickness and snow properties (depth and stratigraphy) against which remote sensing products collected by aircraft and satellite could be compared. Chief among these were products from the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) flown aboard a NASA P-3B aircraft and the Aqua Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). The data were collected in four field areas: three on the coastal sea ice near Barrow, AK, and the fourth out on the open ice pack 175 km northeast of Barrow. The snow depth ranged from 9.4-20.8 cm in coastal areas (n = 9881 for three areas) with the thinnest snow on ice that had formed late in the winter. Out in the main pack ice, the snow was 20.6 cm deep (n = 1906). The ice in all four areas ranged from 138-219 cm thick (n = 1952), with the lower value again where the ice had formed late in the winter. Snow layer and grain characteristics observed in 118 snow pits indicated that 44% of observed snow layers were depth hoar; 46% were wind slab. Snow and ice measurements were keyed to photomosaics produced from low-altitude vertical aerial photographs. Using these, and a distinctive three-way relationship between ice roughness, snow surface characteristics, and snow depth, strip maps of snow depth, each about 2 km wide, were produced bracketing the traverse lines. These maps contain an unprecedented level of snow depth detail against which to compare remote sensing products. The maps are used in other papers in this special issue to examine the retrieval of snow properties from the PSR and AMSR-E sensors.

This campaign is part of the program to validate the Aqua Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) sea ice products. Standard AMSR-E sea ice products include sea ice concentration, sea ice temperature, and snow depth on sea ice. The validation program consists of three elements, namely: 1) satellite data comparisons; 2) coordinated satellite/aircraft/surface measurements; and 3) modeling and sensitivity analyses. Landsat-7 and RADARSAT observations were used in comparative studies with the retrieved AMSR-E sea ice concentrations. The aircraft sensors provided high-resolution microwave imagery of the surface, atmospheric profiles of temperature and humidity, and digital records of sea ice conditions. When combined with in situ measurements, aircraft data were used to validate the AMSR-E sea ice temperature and snow-depth products. The modeling studies helped interpret the field-data comparisons, provided insight on the limitations of the AMSR-E sea ice algorithms, and suggested potential improvements to the AMSR-E retrieval algorithms.

In put data are implicitly mapped into a high-dimensional kernel feature space by a nonlinear mapping, which is associated with a kernel function. The OSP expression is then derived in the feature space, which is kernelized in terms of the kernel functions in order to avoid explicit computation in the high-dimensional feature space. The resulting kernelized OSP algorithm is equivalent to a nonlinear OSP in the original input space. Experimental results are presented for detection of roads, roof tops, mines, and targets in hyperspectral imagery, and it is shown that the kernelized OSP method outperforms the conventional OSP approach.

The power supply contained an explosive-driven high-voltage primary power source based on the fundamental physical effect of shockwave demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B high-energy ferromagnet and a power-conditioning stage. The volume of the energy-carrying ferromagnetic elements in the shockwave ferromagnetic generators (FMGs) was &75 cm³. The power-conditioning stage was based on the spiral vector inversion generator (VIG). The combined FMG-VIG system demonstrated successful operation and good performance. The output-voltage pulse amplitude of the combined FMG-VIG system exceeded 40 kV, with a rise time of 6.2 ns. The methodology was developed for digital simulation of the operation of completely explosive FMG-VIG system. Experimental results obtained are in a good agreement with the results of digital calculations performed.

A survey was administered in January and February 2003 to determine if military affiliation is associated with attitudes toward sending troops into Afghanistan after the war started and Iraq before sending troops. Majorities of all students supported both war efforts, though United States Military Academy at West Point and ROTC cadets are somewhat more supportive of both wars compared to civilian students. However, most differences are explained by students' gender and political affiliation, suggesting that differences between groups result from selection effects rather than cultural differences. The authors contend a fourth wave in civil-military affairs potentially has emerged in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 through a civil-military attitude fusion complicated by a gender-politics gap.

Why They Fight seeks to investigate combat motivation--not battlefield performance. Why They Fight examines why soldiers continue in battle despite obvious risk to personal safety. Referencing a well-established body of literature and using a methodology appropriate for analyzing combat motivation, Why They Fight concludes that today's soldiers, just as those in the past, fight for each other. Why They Fight also reports, however, that today's soldiers are motivated in combat by notions of freedom and democracy.

The idea that behavioral and social scientists may test the robustness of their theories by studying the same phenomenon across in extremis settings is explored. Research involving human participants conducted in safe, peaceful settings will not necessarily generalize to combat; combat findings may differ from those developed elsewhere. The appropriate scientific approach is to replicate and extend, in the combat context, findings already well established in peacetime work.

The study used data from 4,464 respondents of the 2001 Survey of Army Families IV (SAF IV). SAF IV, fielded April through July 2001, was used to reduce the confounding associated with the Iraq war. The results of five-stepwise regressions indicated that them were four common predictors and four ethnically specific predictors of how spouses cope. It was also found that the major sample (Caucasian) was most reflective of the analysis of the total sample of 4,464. Two of the primary predictors of spouse coping were the Problems Experienced Scale and the spouses' ability to keep themselves well informed about the Army. Study findings suggest that while similarities in coping exist between ethnic groups, there are also important ethnic differences in coping relevant to family policy and practice. These differences warrant further study based on a larger sample of spouses.

This article applies Cottey. Edmonds, and Forster's thesis of first- and second generation civil-military relations to the protectorate of Bosnia-Herzegovina. It argues that in the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina, this agenda does not occur in a loosely overlapping fashion with the initiation of the first-generation agenda providing the basis upon which the second-generation agenda can be implemented. Rather, the reverse occurs: the second-generation, capacity-building agenda allows for the construction of state-level institutions in the defense and security sphere--not least a functioning ministry of defense--the hallmark of the first-generation macroinstitutional structural reform agenda. This approach may well prove to be appropriate for other protectorates, and it is of rising strategic significance in an age of preemptive action against failed and rogue states, regime change, and democratization.

Among male high school seniors, 70 percent of those who express high desire or likelihood of service actually enter the military within six years of high school graduation. Propensity to serve has been declining among American youth, and there are not sufficient high-propensity youth to meet manpower needs, so low-propensity youth must be recruited as well. In this article, we explore the relationship between propensity and motivation to enlist in a sample of enlisted combat soldiers in the U.S. Army. We provide an analysis of motivational data that tests Moskos's institutional and occupational models of service and find the organization of motivations to be more complex than Moskos's dichotomous conceptualization. We find that those soldiers who reported high enlistment propensity before beginning service reported significant institutional motivations to join and plans for a military career. Enlistment propensity was not significantly related to occupational or pecuniary motivations.

The prescriptive model chooses monthly reservoir releases and storage levels that maximize the overall benefit of the system. Solution of the model relies on penalty functions that relate value (either economic or noneconomic) to storage levels, releases, and flows in the system. Penalty functions are developed for the multiple purposes of the system, including water supply, navigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. Patterns observed in the model results can serve as starting points to develop improved operating rules for the existing system, and the model can also help evaluate the potential benefits of structural changes to the system. The primary operational trade-off evaluated herein is between maximizing hydroelectric power generation and meeting navigation requirements with a high degree of reliability. Model results also provide some insights into the capacity expansion decisions faced by the Panama Canal Authority.

Several possible reasons people live in hazardous areas are presented. However, this article argues that benefits often outweigh the occasional damage costs. Since they do, such areas become developed and hence more economically valuable. If analysis of policies for developing lands on hazardous sites and providing protection against the hazards consider the benefits obtained from such development when the hazards are not occurring, they may well support that development, together with increased hazard protection and mitigation measures.

A BBN is developed that integrates sensor data with other validating evidence of contamination scenarios. This network is used to graphically express the causal relationships between events such as operational changes or a true contaminant release and consequent observable evidence in an example distribution system. In the BBN methodology proposed here, multiple computer simulations of contaminant transport are used to estimate the prior probabilities of a positive sensor detection. These simulations are run over multiple combinations of possible source locations and initial mass injections for a conservative solute. This approach provides insight into the effect of uncertainties in source mass and location on the detection probability of the sensors. In addition, the simulations identify the upstream nodes that are more likely to result in positive detections. The BBN incorporates the probabilities that result from these simulations, and the network is updated to reflect three demonstration scenarios—a false positive and two true positive sensor detections.

Specifically, each node uses knowledge of the target under surveillance to determine whether it should actively collect measurements and how far to disseminate the data in order for the sensor network to maintain track of the target. At each node, the resource manager requires only knowledge of the relative location to the target for itself and the active nodes from the previous snapshot. The decentralized strategy represents a modification to the global node selection (GNS) method that exploits knowledge of the location of all nodes in the network. Simulations show that despite the lack of global network knowledge, the new localized management method is almost as effective as GNS in terms of balancing the tradeoff between energy usage and localization accuracy.

Each node consists of an array of sensors that are able to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) to a target. Different computationally efficient node selection approaches that use global network knowledge are introduced. Performance bounds based on the node/target geometry are derived, and these bounds help to determine the necessary communication reach of the active nodes. The resulting geolocation performance and energy usage, based on communication distance, is evaluated for a decentralized extended Kalman filter (EKF) that is exploiting the different selection approaches.

Some 26 million of the Russian Federation's 148 million citizens are not Russian, and an equal number of ethnic Russians live beyond the Russian Federation's borders. Herein lies a potentially explosive situation that directly affects U.S. strategic security concerns. This article attempts to evaluate the potential for ethnic conflict in Russia as both a cause and an effect of a potentially paralyzing shock to the Russian political system that would have far-reaching consequences for U.S. strategic interests. It is informed that the official policy of the U.S. towards Russia is to promote the orderly and peaceful transition from communist dictatorship to a pluralistic democracy with a market-oriented economic system. Ethnic conflict in the Caucasus, the Volga-Ural region, or elsewhere could precipitate a crisis leading to paralysis of the Russian political system. In the event of heightened ethnic tension within the Russian Federation, there is very little that the U.S. could do, apart from gently counseling peaceful resolution. Any higher profile action would likely generate a Russian nationalist backlash.

New regional forces and tensions have emerged after the end of the Cold War. Several new models of conflict in future have been developed. Two theories which are popular in the defense establishment of the U.S. are "Clash of Civilization" by Samuel Huntington and "Third Wave" by Alvin Toffler and Heidi Toffler. According to the theory of Huntington, the major civilizations of the world would compete for political and military dominance in future conflicts. Tofflers believe that world community would be divided into three groups due to advancement of technology and would rival one another.

According to social researchers, the debate over U.S. civil-military relations took place on two levels, "power" and "ideology." The crux of the issue has been the compatibility of certain ideology with the ethics of armed forces. The approach taken in the post-Cold War academic literature, which primarily treats the issue of power under the rubric of "civilian control," has been discussed in detail.

Although both units felt that peacekeeping was not appropriate for their unit, soldiers in the reserve unit generally had more constabulary attitudes than those in the active duty unit. These findings suggest that members of the reserve components may be regarded as an appropriate source for peacekeeping personnel in the future.

This study examined the courts-martial system of the U. S. Army and the impact of race on judicial processing time. The authors formulated three explanatory hypotheses for the study involving the blacks and white's and the younger and experienced staffs. In contrast to former studies that have found no racial disparity in terms of the sentence length, the researchers found a significant relationship between processing time and sentence length for blacks. The data for research were obtained from 5,989 courts-martial cases related to the United States Army Judiciary.

The policy of relocation, called home-basing, is a shift from forward deployment of the military in Europe and a result of the Warsaw Pact. Home-basing that requires a greater stay at a location increases firm-specific training of employable military spouses as the recovery period projected by the firm is increased.

The basic methodology was secondary analysis of data collected by two independent survey research projects. One survey asked company commanders to state their priorities for achieving combat competence. The other solicited from subordinate members of the units commanded by those same officers their attitudes and perceptions about themselves, their leaders, and the unit. Results showed that almost all commanders put the highest priority on development of combat skills. Soldiers in units commanded by officers who also accorded high priority to human dimensions were more confident, committed and healthy.

Most of these losses are junior enlisted who do not complete their initial service obligation. The purpose of this study was to develop and test several hypotheses regarding why junior enlisted leave the Army Reserve before the end of their current obligations. Three general models were tested: demographic-pecuniary; unit activities (e.g., unit leadership, training, and administration); and family and civilian employment conflicts with Army Reserve duties in combination with unit activities. Findings support the Army Reserve continuing to offer both pecuniary incentives for joining and remaining in the Army Reserve (i.e., enlistment bonuses and educational benefits) and unit activities that promote feelings of self-worth (e.g., belonging and importance to the unit through recognition and awards) and self-development (through training in military job and general soldiers' skills).

While Russia is the single largest international factor in the region and has sought to dominate it through coercive diplomacy, such an analysis overlooks the crucial Asian dimension of Central Asia's international relations. A closer look at the region shows that Russia is encountering difficulties and cannot sustain its neo- imperialist policies. Central Asian states can now turn to India or Pakistan as well as the People's Republic of China (PR C) and the United States for help. The United States has blocked Russian spheres of influence in energy policy and is generally limiting Russian influence there. India and Pakistan have been attempting also, with partial success thus far, to utilize the area in their rivalry, which has enhanced Central Asia's opportunity for trade and improving relations. Nevertheless, the single greatest potential rival to Russia will probably be the PRC. The PRC has been driven by its energy needs and fear of Islamic self-assertion to devise a sophisticated policy toward Muslims and Central Asia and could well emerge as Russia's rival. As a result, the Asian dimension of Central Asia's international affairs has now become one of great-power rivalry.

This paper examines this issue by exploring the role of heterogeneity in individuals' production capabilities and past investments as an obstacle to conflict resolution. Results are presented from two ongoing research programs: (1) individual and group decision making in the context of a commonly held resource that is subtractable in units of appropriation and (2) ex post negotiation of surplus shares in incomplete contracts. Both programs have been designed to investigate conflict resolution when subjects are heterogenous in costly investments they have incurred.

AB - This editorial proposes that two parallel strategies of occupational therapy assessment, intervention and research for servicemembers and veterans have the transformative potential of post-World War I reconstruction aides in terms of improving client outcomes and shaping the profession itself: (1) the use of traditional and novel methods of therapeutic occupation to address occupational dysfijnction among servicemembers and veterans and (2) the rigorous study of its impact on recovery, resilience, and reintegration. The articles included in this special issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy suggest that we are making inroads toward the first objective.

The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population.

AB - Although often eagerly anticipated, reunification after deployment poses challenges for families, including adjusting to the parent–soldier’s return, re-establishing roles and routines, and the potentially necessary accommodation to combat-related injuries or psychological effects. Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child’s development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children’s behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

AB - The current chapter aims to explore the nature of intuitive decision making in crisis situations as perceived or understood by U.S. Armed Forces officers in 2011. This profession places adult leaders in situations that often require immediate, instantaneous decisions. Understanding intuitive decision making is one of the imperatives to lifelong learning by these professional leaders and is just as essential to learning wisdom by other adult learners. The research in the chapter considered the participants as experts of their own deliberate and intuitive experiences. Nonetheless, a participant acknowledged, 'We sometimes get it wrong.' Tacit knowledge appeared to be integral to effective sense-making and intuitive decision making.

First, the authors review research examining the role and implications of emotions in organizations, followed by the more specific role of leaders in managing these emotions. Second, they describe the process leading to the identification of eight LEM dimensions. Third, they describe the development of a tool to measure these dimensions. Finally, the authors offer initial validation results. This catalogue of behaviors and a corresponding tool for assessing them will assist researchers and practitioners in understanding the criterion of emotion management, thus facilitating the search for individual and situational predictors of LEM, as well as the consequences of LEM for organizational phenomena.

It is a hardy organism and known to survive over a wide range of water activities, pH values, and temperatures. The objective of this study was to model the survival or gradual inactivation of S aureus ATCC 13565 in intermediate moisture foods (IMFs). Various initial concentrations (∼10¹, 10², 10³, and 104 CFU/g) were used to inoculate three different IMFs (beefsteak, bread, and chicken pockets). Viable counts were determined up to 60 days using tryptic soy agar. Inoculum size did not influence the survival or gradual inactivation of S. aureus in these foods. The rate of change (increase or decrease) in log CFU/day was calculated for every consecutive pair of data points and by linear regression for each inactivation curve. Both consecutive pair and linear regression rates of change were fit to logistic distributions (with parameters α and β) for each food. Based on the distribution parameters, survival or gradual reactivation of X aureus was predicted by computer simulation. The simulations indicated an overall decline in X aureus population over time, although a small fraction of samples in the consecutive pair simulation showed a slight population increase even after 60 days, consistent with the observed data. Simulation results were compared to predictions from other computer models. The models of Stewart et al. were fail-safe, predicting the possibility of significant growth only after »3,000 days. The USDA pathogen modeling program predictions were found to be fail-dangerous, predicting declines at least four times faster than observed.

AB - Objectives: Some current neurocognitive models suggest that physical exertion selectively impairs performance of cognitive tasks demanding engagement of the prefrontal cortex. The present study tested this hypothesis by examining the effects of an acute bout of physical exertion on a prefrontal-dependent task demanding the effortful control of attention and emotion. Design. In a repeated-measures design, participants pedaled a recumbent bicycle ergometer at either a low or high work rate corresponding to percentages (25-35% or 75-85%) of maximum heart rate achieved during a peak exercise test. Method: To challenge cognitive processes dependent on regions of the brain's prefrontal cortex, participants performed a cognitive interference task that presented either neutral or emotionally distracting images embedded within a spatial working memory task. Results: Working memory decrements on trials with embedded negative versus neutral images; importantly, this effect was exacerbated in the high versus low work rate. This exercise-induced decrement did not maintain during cool-down or rest, and was predicted by participant fitness levels. By comparison, a relatively low-level perceptuo-motor reaction time task showed faster performance during the high versus low work rate. Conclusions: Acute bouts of submaximal exercise induce transient states of reduced effortful control of attention, resulting in heightened distractability to emotional stimuli Results are discussed with regard to theories detailing dynamic interactions between brain networks mediating physical exertion and higher-level cognitive function.

AB - Purpose: This study examines the issue of change in newcomers’ employer-based psychological contract obligations over time, viewing change as a potentially important determinant of perceived contract breach and subsequent employee attitudes and behaviors. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected using a three-wave longitudinal design from newly hired faculty members (N = 106). Findings: Newcomers’ perceptions of employer-based relational obligations significantly decreased during their first year on the job. Newcomers reacted negatively to these changes, subsequently reporting increased contract breach and more negative work attitudes (i.e., increased turnover intentions and reduced job satisfaction and organizational loyalty). Implications: This study provides evidence of the negative effects of perceived changes to a newcomer’s psychological contract. Practitioners should implement interventions to ensure a realistic set of psychological contract obligations are developed from the start in order to minimize the likelihood that newcomers will modify these obligations downward; and, therefore, experience these negative attitudes toward the organization. Originality/Value: Drawing from the realistic job preview and socialization literatures, this study examines a topic that has received little empirical attention in the extant psychological contract research, yet has important implications to the management of employees’ psychological contracts. Using both a three-wave longitudinal field design and a more rigorous statistical analysis for assessing change (i.e., latent growth curve modeling), we add a unique contribution to the extant research by identifying the negative consequences of psychological contract change on newcomers’ subsequent work perceptions and attitudes.

AB - Prior to deployment, military personnel may experience a range of symptoms typically associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); however, the relationship of specific preexisting symptoms characteristic of PTSD to postdeployment PTSD symptoms is not well understood. This prospective study examined (a) pre- to postdeployment changes in reexperiencing, avoidance, numbing, and hyperarousal symptoms among Iraq-deployed military personnel, and (b) pre- to postdeployment associations among these symptom groupings. Seven-hundred and seventy-four U.S. Army soldiers completed the PTSD Checklist pre- and postdeployment to Iraq. Participants demonstrated increases in reexperiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptom severity but not in severity of numbing symptoms from pre- to postdeployment. Predeployment numbing was positively correlated with all postdeployment symptom clusters, and predeployment hyperarousal was positively correlated with postdeployment hyperarousal, reexperiencing, and numbing. Findings highlight the role of preexisting numbing and hyperarousal symptoms in the evolution of PTSD symptoms following trauma exposure.

This deployment tempo can have negative effects on the physical and psychological well-being of soldiers and their families. In this article, we examine how changes to the structure of work schedules in a U.S. Army brigade can ameliorate negative effects from an increased deployment tempo. The authors present research from a quasi-experimental design that measures soldier opinions before and after changing their work schedule. The results indicate that schedule changes had a positive effect for some junior-enlisted personnel and did not, on average, adversely affect the social and health outcomes of non-commissioned officers.

AB - We evaluated the efficacy of a computer-based situation awareness (SA) measurement system for training dismounted infantry SA in an urban terrain virtual reality (VR) simulation. Based on past research, we hypothesized that the SA measures would be sensitive to individual (squad leader) differences, and that the frequency of specific probes would reveal differences in critical SA requirements among scenarios. Three infantry squads performed multiple trials across two different scenarios. A confederate platoon leader posed probes to squad leaders during trials and experts made ratings afterward. Results revealed squad leaders had similar responses to probes, despite differences in combat experience. Analysis of probe frequency revealed different high priority SA elements and decisions for each scenario. The SA behavior and communication ratings revealed differences among squads, which trended with experience. Measures of SA were also consistent across the test scenario as a result of similar mission types and task difficulties. We discuss the implication of our findings for future research and theory within this area.

AB - Purpose/Objectives: To determine whether psychosocial factors predict depression among older African American patients with cancer. Design: A descriptive correlational study. Setting: Outpatient oncology clinic of a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the southeastern United States. Sample: African American patients with cancer aged 50-88 years. Methods: Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to evaluate differences between patients who were possibly depressed (Geriatric Depression Scale) or not. Multivariate linear regression statistics were used to identify the psychosocial factors that predicted higher depression scores. Education and gender were included as covariates. Main Research Variables: Religiosity, emotional support, collectivism, perceived stigma, and depression. Findings: Participants (N = 77) had a mean age of 61 years (SD = 8.4), and a majority were well-educated, insured, religiously affiliated, and currently in treatment. Participants who were in the lowest income category, not married, or male had higher depression scores. The multivariable model consisting of organized religion, emotional support, collectivism, education, and gender explained 52% (adjusted R²) of the variation in depression scores. Stigma became insignificant in the multivariable model. Conclusions: Psychosocial factors are important predictors of depression. Emotional support and organized religious activities may represent protective factors against depression, whereas collectivism may increase their risk. Implications for Nursing: Nurses need to be particularly aware of the potential psychological strain for patients with collectivist values, experienced stigma, disruptions in church attendance, and lack of emotional support. In addition, the treatment plans for these patients should ensure that family members are knowledgeable about cancer, its treatment, and side effects so they are empowered to meet support needs. Knowledge Translation: Among older African American patients with cancer, emotional support and reassurance from family and friends that they will not abandon them decreases the likelihood of depressive symptoms and minimizes the impact of stigmatizing responses, but the perception that the illness is placing a strain on the family increases the likelihood of such symptoms. Emotional support likely is a stronger predictor of depressive symptoms than religious service attendance.

AB - The rate of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in service members with wartime injuries has risen rapidly in recent years, and complex, variable links have emerged between TBI and long-term neurological disorders. The multifactorial nature of TBI secondary cellular response has confounded attempts to find cellular biomarkers for its diagnosis and prognosis or for guiding therapy for brain injury. One possibility is to apply emerging systems biology strategies to holistically probe and analyze the complex interweaving molecular pathways and networks that mediate the secondary cellular response through computational models that integrate these diverse data sets. Here, we review available systems biology strategies, databases, and tools. In addition, we describe opportunities for applying this methodology to existing TBI data sets to identify new biomarker candidates and gain insights about the underlying molecular mechanisms of TBI response. As an exemplar, we apply network and pathway analysis to a manually compiled list of 32 protein biomarker candidates from the literature, recover known TBI-related mechanisms, and generate hypothetical new biomarker candidates.

AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are signature injuries of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and have been linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias. A meeting hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association and the Veterans’ Health Research Institute (NCIRE) in May 2012 brought together experts from the U.S. military and academic medical centers around the world to discuss current evidence and hypotheses regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms linking TBI, PTSD, and AD. Studies underway in civilian and military populations were highlighted, along with new research initiatives such as a study to extend the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) to a population of veterans exposed to TBI and PTSD. Greater collaboration and data sharing among diverse research groups is needed to advance an understanding and appropriate interventions in this continuum of military injuries and neurodegenerative disease in the aging veteran.

Gideon Aran and Ron Hassner, both distinguished scholars of religious violence, offer a rich discussion of violence in Judaism. They guide the reader on a tour from the past to the present, making stops at crucial crossroads and offering a sophisticated discussion in which they draw lines between biblical texts, culture, and contemporary political events. The authors’ backgrounds (Aran is an anthropologist and Hassner is a political scientist) turn the text into a compelling exploration of the phenomenon and a real tour de force.

Yet, additional research is needed to better understand what (and how) videogame-based training design attributes impact trainee performance in this type of training context. Goals/goal-setting and performance feedback represent two such important game design attributes. Goal-setting theory suggests that moderately difficult goals produce modest goal-performance discrepancies, which result in enhanced performance. Yet, goal-performance discrepancies are not universally beneficial. This study investigates the performance consequences of trainees setting an unrealistically difficult goal early in videogame-based training, and the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Data from 387 trainees completing a videogame-based training program demonstrated that an initial unrealistic goal, and subsequently a large goal-performance discrepancy, negatively impacts subsequent training performance. Self-regulation was examined as a mediator of this relationship; yet, was not supported, as goal-performance discrepancy failed to predict self-regulation. However, goal-performance discrepancy and videogame self-efficacy were found to interact in predicting trainees’ self-regulation, suggesting more complex underlying mechanisms. This study also demonstrated that providing trainees with simple goal-setting advisement can facilitate realistic goal-setting. These findings highlight the important role of realistic goal-setting in enhancing videogame-based training effectiveness.

Little, Inc., Cambridge, MA; No. of Pages: 14; Language: English; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20020607 N2 - Biomagnification of organochlorine and other persistent organic contaminants by higher trophic level organisms represents one of the most significant sources of uncertainty and variability in evaluating potential risks associated with disposal of dredged materials. While it is important to distinguish between population variability (e.g., true population heterogeneity in fish weight, and lipid content) and uncertainty (e.g., measurement error), they can be operationally difficult to define separately in probabilistic estimates of human health and ecological risk. We propose a disaggregation of uncertain and variable parameters based on: (1) availability of supporting data; (2) the specific management and regulatory context (in this case, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tiered approach to dredged material management); and (3) professional judgment and experience in conducting probabilistic risk assessments. We describe and quantitatively evaluate several sources of uncertainty and variability in estimating risk to human health from trophic transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using a case study of sediments obtained from the New York-New Jersey Harbor and being evaluated for disposal at an open water off-shore disposal site within the northeast region. The estimates of PCB concentrations in fish and dietary doses of PCBs to humans ingesting fish are expressed as distributions of values, of which the arithmetic mean or mode represents a particular fractile. The distribution of risk values is obtained using a food chain biomagnification model developed by Gobas by specifying distributions for input parameters disaggregated to represent either uncertainty or variability. Only those sources of uncertainty that could be quantified were included in the analysis. Results for several different two-dimensional Latin Hypercube analyses are provided to evaluate the influence of the uncertain versus variable disaggregation of...

DOE’s approach was uncommonly open, including tribal, regulatory agency, and other Hanford interest group representatives on the board that was to develop the assessment approach. The CRCIA process had attributes of the “analytic-deliberative” process for risk assessment recommended by the National Research Council. Nevertheless, differences between the DOE and other participants over what was meant by the term “comprehensive” in the group’s charge, coupled with differing perceptions of the likely effectiveness of remediation efforts in reducing risks, were never resolved. The CRCIA effort became increasingly fragmented and the role its products were to play in influencing future clean-up decisions increasingly ambiguous. A procedural evaluation of the CRCIA process, based on Thomas Webler’s procedural normative model of public participation, reveals numerous instances in which theoretical-normative discourse disconnects occurred. These had negative implications for both the basic procedural dimensions of Webler’s model—fairness and competence. Tribal and other interest group representatives lacked the technical resources necessary to make or challenge what philosopher Jurgens Habermas terms cognitive validity claims, while DOE and its contractors did not challenge normative claims made by tribal representatives. The results are cautionary for implementation of the analytic-deliberative process. They highlight the importance of bringing rigor to the evaluation of the quality of the deliberation component of risk characterization via the analytic-deliberative process, as well as to the analytic component.

While perhaps arguably a relatively esoteric subject prior to 1989, given the recent changes that have taken place in the Soviet Union, US alliance strategy is now on the threshold of a new era - an era in which the Soviet threat is seen by many allies as diminishing. As US officials ponder the implications of a decreased Soviet threat on its many alliances, of which almost all have been threat based, it will be important to recall the one series of collective security arrangements with allies that has been founded on similarities rather than solely on threats. This intimate Anglo-Saxon connection appears to have the needed bases for enduring well into the post-Cold War era.

In this study, a body of work not previously analyzed - citations of Medal of Honor awardees - was used to develop and rank dimensions of military heroism with the help of two sets of judges. The judges' ratings revealed that three dimensions - exemplary behavior, devotion to duty, and willingness to accept danger - best characterized the modern military hero.

The debate revealed different perspectives concerning the meaning of nuclear deterrence between the United States and its allies. The collective decisions of Italy, Great Britain, and West Germany to accept the initial deployment in November 1983 were due not only to their fear of the Soviet SS-20 missiles, but also to their internal political dynamics. Examines the divergent attitudes between Americans and Europeans and some of the reasons why various political parties in Europe chose to support this deployment.

The army, which supported peacetime conscription in 1940 strictly as an emergency measure - and accepted its revival in 1948 as a necessary but less-than-perfect alternative to universal military training - had become utterly dependent on the draft by 1968. Nevertheless, army chief of staff General William C. Westmoreland ordered a feasibility study on ending the draft before Richard M. Nixon's major campaign speech on the subject in the fall of that year. Westmoreland hardly was keen on ending the draft, but he and others in key positions at the time recognized that the draft was doomed, and they sought ways to shape the transition to the army's advantage.

World War I had demonstrated to them the need for the military to school itself in mobilizing for industrial-based war. But the war also had presented businessmen as rivals for control of procurement functions. With the knowledge acquired in their planned industrial college, the logistical officers hoped to gain an advantage over civilian dollar-a-year men in any future mobilization. They wanted to improve the Army's performance and simultaneously to achieve for themselves increased professional status and recognition in comparison with the combat arms officers who habitually reaped the lion's share of wartime glory. Seen from this perspective, pre-World War II military-industrial relations appear less close than generally thought and require fresh study.

The author presents results from a study of the psychosocial adjustment of 121 current and former Canadian Forces military personnel who served in Vietnam as members of an international peacekeeping force during the period of US involvement in the war. These results indicate that the majority of Canadian Forces personnel have not suffered significant long-term adverse effects resulting from service in Vietnam. For a minority of respondents, however, service in Vietnam proved to be very stressful, resulting in symptoms of a stress reaction called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The author discusses the importance of war zone and postwar experiences in the development and continuation of PTSD and presents policy implications for future Canadian Forces peacekeeping efforts.

Within the officer corps, southerners predominated in the higher ranks, especially the combat arms. Prior to World War II the vagaries of peacetime influenced officer expectations. Officers who attended in-service schools were better prepared for leadership roles in World War II.

Through all phases, racial segregation in schools and patterns of resistance to change have been influenced significantly by residential segregation at the local level and by the racial composition of the population at broader scales. The impending fifth phase, which is likely to be a return to some form of dual school system, has been prompted by a movement of white people to private schools and other bold reactions. Such reactions resulted from Federal Government orders to desegregate schools contrary to residential segregation, a most fundamental facet of the spatial structure of the society.

Between 1817 and 1834, he took life masks of most of America's leading citizens, which he then incorporated into portrait busts. In 1825, Browere did a life mask of former president Thomas Jefferson, but something went awry in the process and the aging statesman suffered considerable discomfort. Members of his family were angry and wrote a number of letters critical of Browere. All other sitters seem to have found the process agreeable. In 1960, the New York State Historical Association in Cooperstown acquired 17 of the busts and 4 masks, all in plaster.

Overlord is one of the most significant military actions in history, a rare occasion when mighty nations commend their fates to the outcome of a single battle. The schools of historical interpretation concerning the commanders stem directly from the rivalries and controversies that arose among these individuals during the campaign itself. Overlord merits continued historical inquiry.

Kanter described the side-effects of tokenism: visibility, contrast, and assimilation. Each of these processes was encountered in the first class of women at the US Military Academy at West Point. A four-year study showed that increased numbers of women, institutional supports, changes in the dominant group, and cohesiveness among tokens reduced the problems initially experienced by tokens. Since the process of tokenism transcends the institutional setting in which it is studied, implications and suggestions for researchers and policymakers in other organizations that include token members are explored.

Thus, in contrast to the customary use of a single central tendency method, such as OLS, on different models, we here use multiple methods on a single model to cross check and validate results. In addition to serving as cross checks, the methods can be used to identify classic problems, including biases in the data and shortcomings in one or more of the methodologies employed. To avoid dealing with problems on identifying motives underlying various patterns in advertising expenditure, data are drawn from a statistically designed experiment where the expenditures were controlled as part of the experiment to resolve the issue of a choice between the two advertising strategies of interest. In contrast to earlier studies, the current paper finds that all methods used lead to the same conclusion: Service Specific is more efficient than Joint, at least for the US Army—which is, by far, the largest military advertiser. Finally, the paper introduces a new method for reallocating advertising budgets between the Uniformed Services which (a) is simpler than the customary use of cross partial derivatives, (b) avoids the need for the ceteris paribus assumptions for each such allocation, as in customary reallocation methods and (c) simplifies matters so that, for instance, it is not necessary to introduce an entirely new organization to administer the desired coordinating activities.

This study tests whether exogenous effects of political events from the California 2003 special recall election and 2004 primary election influenced the municipal secondary bond market consistent with market efficiency theory. The study uses a data base of California municipal cash management bonds traded from June 1, 2003, to July 2, 2004. An event study off our political events tests for abnormal returns and information asymmetry indicated by trading activity and bond yields to determine investor-stakeholder trends regarding anticipated and actual political outcomes.

This process results in differences in drain currents at low (80 K) versus high (294 K) temperatures. Irradiation increases the gate and drain currents at 80 K, and decreases the drain current at room temperature. These effects saturate at ~3 × 1010 n/cm² indicating complexing with a native impurity. After a room temperature anneal, the effect on the gate current persists and the drain current partially recovers. A two-step persistent interface trap formation model is presented that explains these results. This model is further supported by CV measurements at 80 K and 294 K after annealing.

The interest in gain sharing that developed in the 1990s represented an attempt by physicians to extract and hospitals to offer some of the savings being produced by physicians. Advisory bulletins by the Office of Inspector General (Department of Health and Human Services) quickly put a stop to further interest in these strategies. Newer, narrowly defined types of gain sharing have been under consideration. More broadly defined strategies that will be tested under a new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services demonstration are more promising.

Timely implementation of the “drop in” UAC has allowed for continuous, uninterrupted production of 120- and 155-mm projectiles at AAP and AAA. If the UAC were not implemented in a timely manner, Scranton AAP would have been required to incorporate expensive emission control equipment to meet local environmental regulations, costing an estimated $300K. Implementation of the UAC will allow renovation facilities to meet local environmental regulations during the renovation of artillery projectiles. The UAC test results indicated outstanding performance and suitability as a replacement for the current system. These replacements, applied at the smallest film thickness of applied coating, would be the easiest to implement. After assessment, the parts were shipped to the ARL facility for final evaluation. Based upon exposure of truncated 155 mm rounds coated with MIL-DTL-11195 to as much as 500 hours of ASTM B117, the following can be supported: MIL-DTL-11195 outperforms the legacy system by at least a factor of three, regardless of application site.

Bioremediation of 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and related nitroaromatic compounds has met with mixed. success, which is potentially due to the uncertainty of how energetic compounds are bound to different soil types. This study investigated the dissolution and sorption properties of TNT and RDX explosives associated with six different soil types. Understanding the associations that explosives have with a different soil type assists with the development of conceptual models used for the sequestration process, risk analysis guidelines, and site assessment tools. In three-way systems of crystalline explosives, soil, and water, the maximum explosive solubility was not achieved due to the sorption of the explosive onto the soil particles and observed production of transformation byproducts. Significantly different sorption effects were also observed between sterile (γ-irradiated) and nonsterile (nonirradiated) soils with the introduction of crystalline TNT and RDX into soil-water systems.

To better understand the molecular toxicological mechanisms of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive, in Eisenia fetida, earthworms were exposed to a gradient of TNT-spiked soils for 28 days and impacts on gene expression were examined using a 4032 cDNA microarray. Reproduction was increased at low doses of TNT, whereas high doses of TNT reduced juvenile production. On the basis of reproduction responses to TNT, four treatments, that is, control, 2, 10.6, and 38.7 mg/kg, were selected for gene expression studies in a balanced interwoven loop design microarray experiment in which the expression of 311 transcripts was significantly affected. Reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) data on 68 selected differentially and nondifferentially expressed transcripts showed a significant correlation with microarray results. The expression of genes involved in multiple biological processes was altered, including muscle contraction, neuronal signaling and growth, ubiquitinylation, fibrinolysis and coagulation, iron and calcium homeostasis, oxygen transport, and immunity. Chitinase activity assays confirmed down-regulation of chitinase genes as indicated by array and RT-QPCR data. An acute toxicity test provided evidence that dermal contact with TNT can cause bleeding, inflammation, and constriction, which may be explained by gene expression results. Sublethal doses of TNT affected the nervous system, caused blood disorders similar to methemoglobinemia, and weakened immunity in E. fetida.

These studies were conducted as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce, an investigation of environmental impacts originating from the failure of the hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This paper presents data regarding the effects of pumped floodwaters on sediment chemistry, toxicity, and benthic invertebrate assemblages near pumping stations that discharged floodwaters into marshes near Chalmette and Violet, Louisiana. Chemical contamination of sediments was observed and varied among sample locations (e.g., outfall locations, wastewater treatment plant, canals, and wetlands); however, trends in the chemistry data were not always consistent with bioassay results. A comparison of the sediment chemistry data from this study with three other studies reporting concentrations of chemicals in sediments within the city of New Orleans suggested that sediments and associated contaminants present within the levees were not pumped into the marsh in appreciable quantities.

In addition to summarizing the process of this assessment and its findings, the consultant offers lessons learned that may be of value to other consulting psychologists. These lessons include the importance of precisely defining concepts such as diversity and integration, watching for subtle inconsistencies between espoused values and everyday behaviors, and developing a socialization process that addresses key aspects of the desired organizational culture. Creating and maintaining an appropriate organizational culture is critical to the success of any change initiative.

Nonlinear (kernel) versions of these spectral matched (subspace) detectors are also discussed and their performance is compared with the linear versions. These kernel-based detectors exploit the nonlinear correlations between the spectral bands that are ignored by the conventional detectors. Several well-known matched detectors, such as matched subspace detector, orthogonal subspace detector, spectral matched filter and adaptive subspace detector (adaptive cosine estimator) are extended to their corresponding kernel versions by using the idea of kernel-based learning theory. In kernel-based detection algorithms the data is implicitly mapped into a high dimensional kernel feature space by a nonlinear mapping which is associated with a kernel function. The detection algorithm is then derived in the feature space which is kernelized in terms of the kernel functions in order to avoid explicit computation in the high dimensional feature space. Experimental results based on simulated toy-examples and real hyperspectral imagery shows that the kernel versions of these detectors outperform the conventional linear detectors.

Each of these AOTFs is fabricated with a single transducer to operate over only one octave in wavelength. Recently, we have developed two separate tellurium dioxide (TeO2) noncollinear AOTF cells that operate over two octave range. Each cell has an aperture of 1.5 × 1.5 cm2 with a field-of-view of 4.2°, and two thin-plate lithium niobate transducers are bonded on it. The tuning range of the first cell is 0.43–2.1 μm, and 0.69–4.0 μm for the second cell. We have used each of these cells to carry out spectral imaging experiments with CCD, InGaAs, and InSb cameras to cover the spectral region from the visible to the midwave infrared. We image the two orthogonally polarized diffracted beams to get spectropolarimetric information from the scene, as well as a broadband image by using one of the undiffracted beams. In this paper, we discuss the two AOTF cells, the imaging experiments, and present the results obtained.

JO - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems JF - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems Y1 - 2007/06// VL - 17 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 237 SN - 01291564 AB - The development of an effective biological (bio) agent detection capability based upon terahertz (THz) frequency absorption spectra will require insight into how the constituent cellular components contribute to the overall THz signature. In this work, the specific contribution of ribonucleic acid (RNA) to THz spectra is analyzed in detail. Previously, it has only been possible to simulate partial fragments of the RNA (or DNA) structures due to the excessive computational demands. For the first time, the molecular structure of the entire transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule of E. coli was simulated and the associated THz signature was derived theoretically. The tRNA that binds amino acid tyrosine (tRNAtyr) was studied. Here, the molecular structure was optimized using the potential energy minimization and molecular dynamical (MD) simulations. Solvation effects (water molecules) were also included explicitly in the MD simulations. To verify that realistic molecular signatures were simulated, a parallel experimental study of tRNAs of E. coli was also conducted. Two very similar molecules, valine and tyrosine tRNA were investigated experimentally. Samples were prepared in the form of water solutions with the concentrations in the range 0.01-1 mg/ml. A strong correlation of the measured THz signatures associated with valine tRNA and tyrosine tRNA was observed. These findings are consistent with the structural similarity of the two tRNAs. The calculated THz signature of the tyrosine tRNA of E. coli reproduces many features of our measured spectra, and, therefore, provides valuable new insights into bio-agent detection.

The proposed device utilizes novel nanoscale mechanisms to achieve externally driven oscillations that consist of two phases – i.e., an initial transient phase produced by a natural Zener (interband) tunneling process and a second discharging transient phase induced by optical annihilation of stored hole-charge by externally-injected photon flux. The specific focus of this paper will be on an OT-I-RTD oscillator that utilizes In1-xGaxAs /GaSbyAs1-y hetero-systems and the application of band-engineering to enable triggering by 1.55 μm laser technology. The paper presents performance results for the hybrid circuit design, along with a practical implementation strategy for integrating the optical triggering and an analysis of the heating induced during large signal operation.

Comparison of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) on UV LED wafers prior to fabrication with subsequent device testing indicate that the best performance is attained from active regions that exhibit both reduced nonradiative recombination due to saturation of traps associated with point and extended defects and concomitant lowering of radiative lifetime with increasing carrier density. Similar behavior is observed in optically pumped UV lasers. Temperature and intensity dependent TRPL measurements on a new material, AlGaN containing nanoscale compositional inhomogeneities (NCI), show that it inherently combines inhibition of nonradiative recombination with reduction of radiative lifetime, providing a potentially higher efficiency UV emitter active region.

The authors tested the importance of I noncognitive trait: grit. Defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit accounted for an average of 4% of the variance in success outcomes, including educational attainment among 2 samples of adults (N = 1,545 and N = 690), grade point average among Ivy League undergraduates (N = 138), retention in 2 classes of United States Military Academy, West Point, cadets (N = 1,218 and N = 1,308), and ranking in the National Spelling Bee (N = 175). Grit did not relate positively to IQ but was highly correlated with Big Five Conscientiousness. Grit nonetheless demonstrated incremental predictive validity of success measures over and beyond IQ and conscientiousness. Collectively. these findings suggest that the achievement of difficult goals entails not only talent but also the sustained and focused application of talent over time.

The prime power source is a longitudinally driven shock wave depolarization of a ferroelectric ceramic. The energy-carrying elements of the shock wave ferroelectric generators (FEGs) were poled Pb(Zr52Ti48)O3 polycrystalline ceramic disks with 0.35 cm3 volume. FEGs charged 9 nF, 18 nF, and 36 nF capacitor banks and provided pulsed-power with peak amplitudes up to 0.29 MW. The maximum efficiency of electric charge transfer from shocked Pb(Zr52 Ti48 )O3 elements to a capacitor bank was 46%. We demonstrated experimentally that the FEG-capacitor bank system can perform as an oscillatory circuit. A methodology was developed for numerical simulation of the operation of the FEG-capacitor bank system; the simulation results were in a good agreement with the experimental results.

Within these two broad frameworks, the authors specifically discuss, first, the need to continue moving beyond notions of isomorphism in developing and testing aggregate-level constructs. Second, they discuss the potential value of using discontinuous growth models to understand transitions in longitudinal studies. Finally, they discuss some of the issues surrounding the ability to decompose variance in multilevel modeling of dichotomous and other nonnormal outcome data.

JO - Journal of Applied Psychology JF - Journal of Applied Psychology Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 92 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 707 EP - 721 SN - 00219010 AB - The authors tested a model of antecedents and outcomes of newcomer adjustment using 70 unique samples of newcomers with meta-analytic and path modeling techniques. Specifically, they proposed and tested a model in which adjustment (role clarity, self-efficacy, and social acceptance) mediated the effects of organizational socialization tactics and information seeking on socialization outcomes (job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job performance, intentions to remain, and turnover). The results generally supported this model. In addition, the authors examined the moderating effects of methodology on these relationships by coding for 3 methodological issues: data collection type (longitudinal vs. cross-sectional), sample characteristics (school-to-work vs. work-to-work transitions), and measurement or the antecedents (facet vs. composite measurement). Discussion focuses on the implications of the findings and suggestions for future research.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques JF - IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques Y1 - 2007/12//Dec2007 Part 1 of 2 VL - 55 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2642 EP - 2254 SN - 00189480 AB - This paper presents results on a surface micromachined RF microelectromechanical switch that uses piezoelectric actuators. The switch uses solution chemistry-derived lead zirconate titanate thin films spun deposited onto a high-resistivity silicon substrate with coplanar waveguide transmission lines. Actuation voltages, applied via circuits independent of the RF circuitry, average less than 10 V, with switch operation demonstrated as low as 2 V. The series switch exhibits better than 20-dB isolation from dc up to 65 GHz and as large as 70 dB below 1 GHz. In the closed state, the switch has an insertion loss less than 1 dB up to 40 GHz, limited in this demonstration by substrate losses from the elastic layer used to stress control the piezoelectric actuators. Switching speeds for the different designs are in the range of 40-60 ms. Thermal sensitivity measurements show no change in isolation observed for temperatures up to 125 ° C. However, an increase in actuation voltage is required at elevated temperatures.

The novel aspect of the method is that it makes use of emissivity skewness. The main purpose of vegetation detection for mine detection is to minimize false alarms. Vegetation, such as round bushes, may be mistaken as mines by mine detection algorithms, particularly in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. We employ an unsupervised vegetation detection algorithm that exploits statistics of emissivity spectra of vegetation in long-wave infrared spectrum for identification. This information is incorporated into a Choquet integral-based fusion structure, which fuses detector outputs from hyperspectral imagery and SAR imagery. Vegetation mapping is shown to improve mine detection results over a variety of images and fusion models.

The classified objects include homogeneous spheroids and composite metallic assemblages meant to resemble unexploded ordnance. An analytical model is used to generate the necessary training data for each learning method. SVM and NN are shown to be successful in classifying three different types of objects on the basis of size. They are capable of fast classification, making them suitable for real-time application. Furthermore, both methods are robust and have a good tolerance of 20-dB SNR additive Gaussian noise. SVM shows promise in dealing with noise due to uncertainty in the object's position and orientation.

Comparison with surface and aircraft measurements from five passes of the satellite over the Gulf of Alaska indicates agreement to within about ±15 percent in wavelength and about ± 25° in wave direction. These results apply to waves 100 to 250 meters in length propagating in a direction predominantly across the satellite track, in sea states with significant wave height (H1/3) in a range of 2 to 3.5 meters.

The ions of SO, NO, H, and NH were selected for study since they are the most prominent ones found in precipitation. Total wet deposition for 1979 was normalized to one centimeter of precipitation and objectively analyzed using the Synagraphic Mapping System (SYMAP) technique. Gradients of SO and NO were found to be essentially uniform, both to the east and west of the major pollution regions. An increased gradient in normalized deposition for SO, NO, and H was found in the Appalachian Mountain region. Estimates of total wet deposition were obtained by using the normalized deposition values in conjunction with precipitation as reported by the National Climatic Center. SYMAP analyses of the estimated total wet deposition were localized in nature due to precipitation variations between sites.

Experiments involved infusion of model matrices with lipid suspensions consisting of milled, size-characterized sucrose in corn oil. The influences of pore size/particle size ratio and suspension concentration on the penetration of liquid and particles were determined. A mathematical model that allows prediction of future behavior was fitted to the test results. The model indicates that dry-weight particle penetration is strongly correlated with pore size and independent of initial particle concentration. Infusion of liquid plus particles was increased by raising porosity and lowering particle concentration.

This is true, especially of governmental departments that are commodity oriented. There must be some ultimate goal of fine grain visibility that management can attempt to achieve or at least approach in order for the functional directors within the organization structure to relate and report most readily to provide required data for proficient resource management. Two essential requirements are visibility and integrated reporting as herein prescribed. Following the ascertainment of resource requirements in the fight of projected work effort, some logical procedure should be employed in the rationale of resource adjustments. The Tolerance Box technique is herein described.

Although HFRS has not been reported in North America, viruses that are antigenically similar to HFRS agents were recently isolated from rodents in the United States. Examination and comparison of eight representative isolates from endemic disease areas and from regions with no known associated HFRS indicate that these viruses represent a new and unique group that constitutes a separate genus in the Bunyaviridae family of animal viruses.

Subject Subsets: Leisure, Recreation, Tourism; Human Nutrition N2 - Recent studies describe an association between poor iron status and obesity in humans, although the mechanism explaining this relationship is unclear. The present study aimed to determine the effect of moderate iron deficiency and physical activity (PA) on body composition in an animal model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats consumed iron-adequate (IA; 40 mg/kg) or moderately iron-deficient (ID; 9 mg/kg) diets ad libitum for 12 wk. Rats were assigned to 4 treatment groups (n=10 per group): IA, sedentary (IAS); IA, PA (IAPA); ID, sedentary (IDS); or ID, PA (IDPA). Activity involved running on motorized running wheels at 4 m/min for 1 h/d for 5 d/wk. After 12 wk, ID rats were not anemic, but body iron stores were reduced as indicated by diminished (P<0.05) femur iron compared with IA rats. Treatment group did not affect body weight or feed consumption. However, fat mass was greater (P<0.05) in IDS rats (38.6±6.7%) than IAS (31.8±2.9%), IAPA (31.8±2.0%), and IDPA (32.8±4.5%) rats. Furthermore, lean body mass was diminished in IDS rats (58.7±6.8%) compared with IAS (65.6±3.0%), IAPA (65.6±2.1%), and IDPA (64.7±4.5%) rats. Thus, moderate iron deficiency may cause increased body fat accretion in rats and PA attenuates that effect.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Agricultural Entomology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases; Plant Breeding; Forestry N2 - This study was conducted as part of a field-ecology study of arboviral and malarial activity in the Amazon Basin, Loreto Department, Peru, to determine the relative abundance, species diversity, and seasonal and vertical distributions of potential mosquito vectors. Mosquitoes were captured either by volunteers using mouth aspirators while mosquitoes attempted to land on the collectors or in dry ice-baited ABC light traps. Anopheles darlingi, the principal malaria vector in the region, was the most commonly captured anopheline mosquito in Puerto Almendra village (99%) while landing on humans, with a mean of 37.1 mosquitoes captured per 24-h period, representing nearly one half of all mosquitoes collected. An. darlingi human landing activity began shortly after sunset, peaked at 2000-2100 hours, and declined gradually until sunrise. This species readily entered houses, because 51% of the An. darlingi captured by paired collectors, stationed inside and outside houses, were captured indoors. Human landing collections provided a more accurate estimate of human attraction of An. darlingi, capturing 30 times as many as co-located dry ice-baited ABC light traps. In contrast, eight times as many Culex (Melanoconion) species, including known arbovirus vectors, were captured in light traps as by co-located human collectors. Despite being located within 300 m of the village collection site, only a few Anopheles species were captured at the forest collection site, including only 0.1 An darlingi/24 h, thus indicating that An. darlingi activity was directly associated with the rural village. These data provide a better understanding of the taxonomy, population density, and seasonal distribution of potential mosquito vectors of disease within the Amazon Basin region and allow for the development of appropriate vector and disease prevention strategies that target vector populations.

When fed on hamsters or chickens with a viremia of ~105 plaque-forming units (PFU) of EEEV/ml, Culex pedroi Sirivanakarn and Belkin, Aedes fulvus (Wiedemann), Psorophora albigenu (Peryassu), and Psorophora ferox (Von Humboldt) were susceptible to infection, whereas none of the Aedes serratus (Theobald), Culex vomerifer Komp, Culex gnomatos Sallum, Huchings, and Ferreira, Culex portesi Senevet and Abonnenc, or Culex coronator Dyar and Knab became infected, even though they fed on the same viremic blood sources. When these mosquito species fed on animals with viremias of ~108 PFU/ml, Cx. pedroi, Ae. fulvus, Ps. albigenu, and Psorophora cingulata (Fabricius) were the most susceptible. Mosquito species were susceptible to both a lineage II (Brazil-Peru) and a lineage III (Argentina-Panama) isolate of EEEV. This study, combined with the repeated isolation of strains of EEEV from Cx. pedroi captured in the Amazon Basin region of Peru, suggests that Cx. pedroi may be the primary enzootic vector of EEEV in this region.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in Egypt, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia have indicated the potential for this disease to spread from its enzootic areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Because little is known about the potential for most African mosquito species to transmit RVF virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus, RVFV), we conducted studies to determine the vector competence of selected African species of mosquitoes for this virus. All eight species tested [Aedes palpalis (Newstead), Aedes mcintoshi Huang, Aedes circumluteolus (Theobald), Aedes calceatus Edwards, Aedes aegypti (L.), Culex antennatus (Becker), Culex pipiens (L.), and Culex quinquefasciatus Say], were susceptible to infection, and all except Ae. calceatus, Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus transmitted RVFV by bite after oral exposure. Estimated transmission rates for mosquitoes that successfully transmitted RVFV by bite ranged from 5% for Ae. mcintoshi to 39% for Ae. palpalis for mosquitoes that fed on a hamster with a viremia ≥108 plaque-forming units of virus/ml. We did not recover RVFV from any of 3,138 progeny of infected female mosquitoes. RVFV is unusual among arboviruses in that it has been isolated in nature from a large number of species and that numerous mosquitoes and other arthropods are able to transmit this virus in the laboratory. The recent introduction and spread of West Nile virus into the Americas and the spread of RVFV to the Arabian Peninsula illustrates the potential for viruses, once enzootic in Africa, to spread to other parts of the world.

Language: English. Number of References: 48 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses) are among the deadliest viruses known to mankind, with mortality rates nearing 90%. These pathogens are highly infectious through contact with infected body fluids and can be easily aerosolized. Additionally, there are currently no licensed vaccines available to prevent filovirus outbreaks. Their high mortality rates and infectious capabilities when aerosolized and the lack of licensed vaccines available to prevent such infectious make Ebola and Marburg viruses serious bioterrorism threats, placing them both on the category A list of bioterrorism agents. Here we describe a panfilovirus vaccine based on a complex adenovirus (CAdVax) technology that expresses multiple antigens from five different filoviruses de novo. Vaccination of nonhuman primates demonstrated 100% protection against infection by two species of Ebola virus and three Marburg virus subtypes, each administered at 1,000 times the lethal dose. This study indicates the feasibility of vaccination against all current filovirus threats in the event of natural hemorrhagic fever outbreak or biological attack.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Public Health N2 - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a compound used widely in bursting-type munitions, is a concern for the U.S. Department of Defense because it has been detected in soil and groundwater at military installations. Dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from acetone solutions and from two different soils was studied using excised human skin (from surgery) in flow-through diffusion cells. RDX in acetone (10 µL) or in soils (10 mg) was applied to the epidermal surface of the skin (0.64 cm2) and allowed to transverse the skin and become dissolved in a reservoir of receptor fluid that was maintained in contact with the dermal surface. The reservoir was of the flow-through type and receptor fluid was pumped at a rate of 1.5 mL/h. Receptor fluid was collected every 6 h for 24 h. Because the bioavailability of a chemical from soils depends on soil composition, dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from both a low-carbon (1.9%) and a high-carbon (9.5%) soil was assessed. At the conclusion of the experiment, the RDX remaining on the skin was washed with soap and water using cotton swabs, and the radioactivity present in washings was determined. The stratum corneum was removed from the deeper epidermis and radioactivity found in that layer was not considered in calculations of dermal absorption. The dermal absorption of RDX was relatively low. Only about 5.7±1.9% of the RDX that had been applied in acetone was found in the skin (epidermis and dermis) (3.2±1.9) and receptor fluid (2.5±1.8) combined (over the full 24-h duration of the study). The levels of RDX found in the skin layers were stratum corneum 2.1%, epidermis 0.83%, and dermis 0.45%. The total recovery of applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 80%. The extent of RDX absorption from soil was even lower than from acetone. Approximately 2.6±1.1% of the RDX applied in the low-carbon soil and 1.4±0.41% applied in the high-carbon soil was found in receptor fluid and skin in 24 h. The total recovery of the applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 87% for the low-carbon soil and 94% for the high-carbon soil. Thus, the dermal absorption of RDX from soils was reduced considerably when compared with absorption from acetone and absorption was lower in the high-carbon soil than in the low-carbon soil.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - In 2006, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) completed its first Bioterrorism Risk Assessment (BTRA), intended to be the foundation for DHS's subsequent biennial risk assessments mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 10 (HSPD-10). At the request of DHS, the National Research Council established the Committee on Methodological Improvements to the Department of Homeland Security's Biological Agent Risk Analysis to provide an independent, scientific peer review of the BTRA. The Committee found a number of shortcomings in the BTRA, including a failure to consider terrorists as intelligent adversaries in their models, unnecessary complexity in threat and consequence modeling and simulations, and a lack of focus on risk management. The Committee unanimously concluded that an improved BTRA is needed to provide a more credible foundation for risk-informed decision making.

N2 - The present study investigated the effect of the organophosphate, dichlorvos (DDVP), on ocular function and cholinesterase activity in guinea pigs, using a single-animal-head-only vapor exposure system. All animals exhibited signs of mild organophosphate poisoning (e.g., salivation, chewing, lacrimation, urination, defecation, and rhinorhea) after the 20-min exposure, regardless of the DDVP exposure concentration (e.g., 35 mg/m3, 55 mg/m3, and 75 mg/m3). Pupil constriction or miosis was the most pronounced effect seen after vapor exposure. The postexposure pupil size for the 35 mg/m3 group was 45.8±3.68% of the preexposure baseline measurement. Postexposure pupil size in the 55- (38±1.36%) and 75 mg/m3 (38.1±1.72%) groups was significantly less than both the preexposure baseline level and the 35 mg/m3 group. All groups exhibited enhanced an pupillary response to light after DDVP exposure. The enhanced light response remained even after recovery from miosis (~1 h after exposure). Measurement of cholinesterase activity revealed that even though pupil size had recovered, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterse remained significantly inhibited in the blood.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Throughout Korea, small mammals are hosts to a number of disease-causing agents that pose a health threat to U.S. and Korean military forces while they conduct field-training exercises. A seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was established at two firing points (FP), FP-10, and FP-60, and conducted over five years from 2001 through 2005 in response to hantavirus cases among U.S. soldiers. The ecology of these sites consisted primarily of tall grasses associated with semi-permanent and temporary water sources (drainage ditches and a small stream) and dry-land agriculture farming. Eight species of rodents and one species of insectivore were collected, including Apodemus agrarius, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Tscherskia triton, Microtus fortis, Myodes regulus, and Crocidura lasiura. The striped field mouse, A. agrarius, (primary reservoir for Hantaan virus, the causative agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever), was the most frequently collected, representing 90.6% of the 1,288 small mammals captured at both sites.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - The prevalence of four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) has risen dramatically in recent years accompanied by an increase in viral genetic diversity. The evolution of DENV has had a major impact on their virulence for humans and on the epidemiology of dengue disease around the world. In order to perform disease surveillance and understand DENV evolution and its effects on virus transmission and disease, an efficient and accurate method for genotype identification is required. Phylogenetic analysis of viral gene sequences is the method used most commonly, with envelope (E) gene the most frequently selected target. To determine which gene might be suitable targets for genotyping DENV, phylogenetic analysis was performed on 10 individual coding genes plus the 3′-non-translated region (3′NTR) for 56 geographically divergent DENV strains representing all identified genotypes. These were reflected in eleven maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees. Based on the bootstrap values (over 90%) supporting the major nodes, the best target genes were identified for each serotype: for DENV-1, the sequences of all coding genes except non-structural gene 4A (NS4A), for DENV-2, PrM/M, E, NS1, NS3, NS4A and NS5, for DENV-3, all coding genes and the 3′NTR, and for DENV-4, C, PrM/M, E, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS4A and NS5.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Human and ecological health risk assessments and the decisions that stem from them require the acquisition and analysis of data. In agencies that are responsible for health risk decision-making, data (and/or opinions/judgments) are obtained from sources such as scientific literature, analytical and process measurements, expert elicitation, inspection findings, and public and private research institutions. Although the particulars of conducting health risk assessments of given disciplines may be dramatically different, a common concern is the subjective nature of judging data utility. Often risk assessors are limited to available data that may not be completely appropriate to address the question being asked. Data utility refers to the ability of available data to support a risk-based decision for a particular risk assessment. This article familiarizes the audience with the concept of data utility and is intended to raise the awareness of data collectors (e.g., researchers), risk assessors, and risk managers to data utility issues in health risk assessments so data collection and use will be improved. In order to emphasize the cross-cutting nature of data utility, the discussion has not been organized into a classical partitioning of risk assessment concerns as being either human health- or ecological health-oriented, as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Program.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Since 1966, the U.S. Army has had in place a comprehensive surveillance system for acute respiratory disease (ARD) because of its continued high incidence in the recruit population. A retrospective review of the program from 1995 to 2006, a continuation of an earlier analysis from 1985-1994, was performed to describe the program and to summarize group A streptococcal (GAS) outbreaks identified through this program. Methods: Weekly incidence data and daily sentinel case data collected as part of the ARD surveillance program were analyzed in 2007 to report rates of ARD and GAS outbreaks over this 12-year period (1995-2006) for five participating Army sites. Results: Average ARD rates were consistently higher from 2000 to 2006 than from 1995 to 1999. Rate ratios of winter rates to summer rates were greater than 1.0 prior to 2000, but from 2000 to 2006, ratios were consistently near 1.0. Rheumatogenic M types were available for three of five outbreaks. Conclusions: Continuing high incidence of ARD in the military, re-emerging rheumatogenic M types, and a highly mobile military underscore the need for continued surveillance efforts. The continued employment of interventions with demonstrated effectiveness, such as chemoprophylaxis and basic preventive measures, is essential to reducing the burden of ARD.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Background: Minimal influenza surveillance has been carried out in sub-Saharan Africa to provide information on circulating influenza subtypes for the purpose of vaccine production and monitoring trends in virus spread and mutations. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate a surveillance program in Kenya to isolate and characterize influenza viruses. Results: In the 2006-2007 influenza season, nine influenza A viruses were isolated. All were of H3N2 subtype with key amino acid (aa) changes indicating that they were more closely related to recent World Health Organization recommended vaccine strains than to older vaccine strains, and mirroring the evolution of circulating influenza A globally. Hemagglutination inhibition data showed that the 2006 Kenya isolates had titers identical to the 2005-2006 H3N2 vaccine strain but two- to threefold lower titers to the 2006-2007 vaccine strain, suggesting that the isolates were antigenic variants of the 2006-2007 vaccine strains. Analysis of aa substitutions of hemagglutinin-1 (HA1) protein of the 2006 Kenyan viruses revealed unique genetic variations with several aa substitutions located at immunodominant epitopes of the HA1 protein. These mutations included the V112I change at site E, the K 173 E substitution at site D and N 278 K change at site C, mutations that may result in conformational change on the HA molecule to expose novel epitopes thus abrogating binding of pre-existing antibodies at these sites. Conclusion: Characterization of these important genetic variations in influenza A viruses isolated from Kenya highlights the importance of continuing surveillance and characterization of emerging influenza drift variants in sub-Saharan Africa.

A case-control study was employed with cases as trainees with outpatient GAS diagnosis (ICD-9-CM codes: 034.0, 035, 038.0, 041.01, 320.2, 390-392, 482.31) during the influenza season, and controls as trainees with no outpatient GAS diagnosis during the influenza season. Primary exposure was influenza immunization during 1st September to 30th April of each season. Estimated protective effects of influenza immunization against GAS-illness ranged from 50% to 77%. A strong protective effect was suggested for Army trainee influenza immunization on the diagnosis of GAS-illness.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Aims: To determine the wet and dry density of spores of Bacillus anthracis and compare these values with the densities of other Bacillus species grown and sporulated under similar conditions. Methods and Results: We prepared and studied spores from several Bacillus species, including four virulent and three attenuated strains of B. anthracis, two Bacillus species commonly used to simulate B. anthracis (Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus subtilis) and four close neighbours (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus stearothermophilus), using identical media, protocols and instruments. We determined the wet densities of all spores by measuring their buoyant density in gradients of Percoll and their dry density in gradients of two organic solvents, one of high and the other of low chemical density. The wet density of different strains of B. anthracis fell into two different groups. One group comprised strains of B. anthracis producing spores with densities between 1.162 and 1.165 g ml-1 and the other group included strains whose spores showed higher density values between 1.174 and 1.186 g ml-1. Both Bacillus atrophaeus and B. subtilis were denser than all the B. anthracis spores studied. Interestingly and in spite of the significant differences in wet density, the dry densities of all spore species and strains were similar. In addition, we correlated the spore density with spore volume derived from measurements made by electron microscopy analysis. There was a strong correlation (R2=0.95) between density and volume for the spores of all strains and species studied. Conclusions: The data presented here indicate that the two commonly used simulants of B. anthracis, B. atrophaeus and B. subtilis were considerably denser and smaller than all B. anthracis spores studied and hence, these simulants could behave aerodynamically different than B. anthracis. Bacillus thuringiensis had spore density and volume within the range observed for the various strains of B. anthracis. The clear correlation between wet density and volume of the B. anthracis spores suggest that mass differences among spore strains may be because of different amounts of water contained within wet dormant spores. Significance and Impact of the Study: Spores of nonvirulent Bacillus species are often used as simulants in the development and testing of countermeasures for biodefense against B. anthracis. The similarities and difference in density and volume that we found should assist in the selection of simulants that better resemble properties of B. anthracis and, thus more accurately represent the performance of countermeasures against this threat agent where spore density, size, volume, mass or related properties are relevant.

N2 - Orthopoxviruses, such as variola and monkeypox viruses, can cause severe disease in humans when delivered by the aerosol route, and thus represent significant threats to both military and civilian populations. Currently, there are no antiviral therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat smallpox or monkeypox infection. In this study, we showed that administration of the antiviral compound ST-246 to rabbits by oral gavage, once daily for 14 days beginning 1 h postexposure (p.e.), resulted in 100% survival in a lethal aerosolized rabbitpox model used as a surrogate for smallpox. Furthermore, efficacy of delayed treatment with ST-246 was evaluated by beginning treatment on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 p.e. Although a limited number of rabbits showed less severe signs of the rabbitpox disease from the day 1 and day 2 p.e. treatment groups, their illness resolved very quickly, and the survival rates for these group of rabbits were 88% and 100%, respectively. But when the treatment was started on days 3 or 4 p.e., survival was 67% and 33%, respectively. This work suggests that ST-246 is a very potent antiviral compound against aerosolized rabbitpox in rabbits and should be investigated for further development for all orthopoxvirus diseases.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - This chapter points out that water supplies and their distribution systems are potential targets for terrorist activity in the USA. Even short-term disruption of water service can significantly impact a community and lead to serious medical, public health, societal, and economic consequences. In the USA, most of the water supply is treated and contains a disinfectant, such as free chlorine or chloramines, to destroy or control the growth of bacteria. Maintaining a residual free chlorine concentration of 0.5 mg/litre for public water supplies, and 2.0 mg/litre for field drinking water for deployed troops could provide adequate protection from most biological contamination. The authors considered chemical threats to the water supply and concluded that although it may be possible to contaminate a water supply system, a high degree of physical security, combined with maintaining a higher-than-usual residual chlorine level, should ensure its safety.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The authors use the insights gained in their understanding of the mechanism of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) action to establish a conceptual framework within which to develop effective treatment strategies for intoxication. The authors also suggest that some vaccine approaches have proven effective, but generally require multiple inoculations and incubation times of up to a year from onset to generate adequate protection. In addition, vaccinated individuals may be precluded from the use of local BoNT administration for treatment of spasticity or movement disorders that may develop during their lifetime. These limitations argue strongly in favour of a supplementary pharmacological approach for the management of botulism. They point out that efforts to develop pharmacological inhibitors of BoNT have increased substantially during the last decade.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - This chapter presents the argument that when chemicals are used to control civilian disturbances, it is necessary to use substances of low health hazard potential and employ delivery methods that carry the minimum potential for injury. It reviews the nature and effects of chemicals used, and proposed for use in peacekeeping operations. Particular attention is given to their operational uses in various circumstances, pharmacology, toxicology, evaluation of safety-in-use, delivery, effects on humans, consequences and medical management of overexposure and injury, and the need for preparedness planning.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The authors discuss the health effects of exposure to vesicant agents. They consider the mustards (nitrogen and sulfur mustard) and lewisite. They describe the biochemical and physiological roots of the pathogenesis of these vesicating agents, the principal target organs, the clinical course of the pathology in each instance, residual long-term health effects, and medical management of casualties of vesicant exposure. The authors also provide a brief history of the circumstances of exposure of humans to vesicating agents, whether in warfare, volunteers in research, or, in the case of mustards, in medical treatment. This chapter considers current research and concludes, although much effort is being expended in developing therapeutic interventions that will limit the extent of tissue pathology, the best immediate approaches involve prevention of contact between mustard and tissues and medical procedures that ease patient trauma and discomfort.

Many studies cited were conducted at the U.S. Army Chemical Biological Center from the 1950s up to the present day. The authors point out that the challenge for laboratory studies is to safely generate stable vapour or aerosol atmospheres and verify their atmospheric concentration, chemical characterization, and stability during the exposure period. The results of such well-controlled studies enhance human risk assessment modelling tools, support the operational risk management decision process, and help define physiologically relevant nerve agent detection thresholds.

They bring this area up-to-date by reviewing epidemiological or clinical studies of exposed or potentially exposed populations and new treatment concepts and products to mitigate nerve agent toxicity. They point out the significant human epidemiological and clinical literature that has appeared since 2001. These studies are based on further follow-up of military volunteers from earlier research programmes in the USA and the UK, and more intensive follow-up of the victims of Japanese terrorist attacks involving nerve agents in 1994 and 1995. They conclude by discussing four new potential "product lines" of improved treatment for these deadly nerve gases: advanced anticonvulsant system, improved oxime therapies, carbamate pretreatment, and enzymes as scavengers.

Publication Type: Book chapter. Language: English. Number of References: many ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - This chapter describes the organization and capabilities of the ever-evolving national response apparatus to a domestic or international terrorist use of a "weapon of mass destruction (WMD)". This apparatus involves many Federal agencies, one new since 2001 (The United States Department of Homeland Security), which support and complement local and state response systems that respond to such incidents. Over the past 5 years, subsequent to the publication of the last edition of this text, enormous emphasis has been placed on domestic preparedness for possible use of WMD. Chemical warfare agents (CWAs), along with nuclear weapons and biological warfare agents, are included in this category. The reader is referred to the previous edition, where much of the information on medical and public health considerations of CWAs remains accurate. Moreover, recognition of the possible terrorist use of toxic industrial chemicals and materials (TICs and TIMs) has presented additional challenges. This chapter expands on the previous work and puts this information into a more current context.

They begin by describing skin barrier and metabolizing properties. They move to describing historical approaches to protecting the skin, to include protective ensembles, skin barrier creams, both inert barriers and active (decontaminating or inactivating) creams, and to describing the properties of effective skin decontaminants. They review the effectiveness of a number of candidates or fielded skin-decontaminating kits, foams, solutions, and field-expedient measures. The authors conclude by stating their guiding principle; the best decontaminants are those that most rapidly remove threat agents from the skin.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - This chapter describes the use of scavenger enzymes as alternatives to conventional approaches to the management of nerve agent casualties. This approach avoids side effects associated with current multidrug antidotal regimens. It also obviates the requirement, often difficult to achieve in a military setting, for rapid administration of pharmacologically sufficient drug to attain its therapeutic aim. Candidate bioscavenger proteins, which react quickly, specifically, and irreversibly with organophosphorus compounds, are presented and discussed. This bond may be stoichiometric and sequester substrate or may be catalytic, hydrolysing substrate into biologically inert products. Promising examples of each approach are presented, and the advantages of the novel approach over conventional approaches are discussed.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The authors tell us that over the past several years, there has been a move away from a reductionist approach of studying one gene or protein at a time toward a more global approach of studying molecular and cellular networks and how these networks integrate information and respond to the environment. Recent technological developments allow researchers to study the function of a single gene or protein in the context of cellular and molecular networks, or to study the response of numerous genes or proteins to an environmental stimulus (e.g., chemical warfare agents (CWAs) exposure). These new molecular techniques allow for global analysis of gene expression (genomics, transcriptomics), global analysis of protein expression, modification, function (proteomics), and global analysis of metabolism and metabolites (metabonomics, metabolomics). Within the Army life science research community, the authors and many of their colleagues are following the lead of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in applying these global approaches and associated technologies to the problem of CWA countermeasures. In this chapter, they provide an overview of each of these technologies and their current state-of-the-art, and provide examples of how these approaches are being applied to the development of CWA countermeasures.

Subject Subsets: Weeds; Public Health N2 - This chapter tells us that chemicals have been used in warfare since almost the beginning of recorded history. Use of chemicals started out crudely using malodorous materials, irritants, poisonous plants and animals, as well as decaying bodies. Since the birth of chemistry, toxic chemicals have been created specifically for war. Lethal and disabling chemicals were developed, which incapacitated or killed the enemy without disfiguring or mutilating the body and without affecting or destroying the infrastructure. These chemicals appeared to offer distinct advantages. It is important to recognize that the advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, neurobiology, and computer sciences, among others, may assist not only in the proliferation of traditional chemical warfare agents (CWAs), but also stimulate the emergence of nontraditional agents as well. Advances have also occurred in the delivery systems of these agents. The authors concluded that while the use of CWAs in terrorist activities appears to have been limited, this may not accurately reflect the potential of their future use.

HIV-1 prevalence was 14.3%, and was higher among women (19.1%) than men (11.3%). Risk factors associated with HIV-1 for men were age (≥25 years), marital history (one or more marriages), age difference from current spouse (≥5 years), Luo ethnicity, sexually transmitted infection (STI) symptoms in the past 6 months, circumcision (protective), and sexual activity (≥7 years). Among women, risk factors associated with HIV-1 were age (25-29 years, ≥35 years), marital history (one or more marriages), age difference from current spouse (≥10 years), Luo ethnicity, STI symptoms in the past 6 months, and a STI history in the past 5 years. Most participants (96%) expressed a willingness to participate in a future HIV vaccine study.

The analyte was isolated via solid-phase extraction and detected using ammonia chemical ionization in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. A good linear relationship was obtained in the quantitative concentration range of 4 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL with an absolute detection limit of <1 pg on column. The method has been applied to the analysis of RBCs from a laboratory worker accidentally exposed to VX vapor.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Little is known about the replication of Karshi virus, a member of the mammalian tickborne flavivirus group, in its rodent hosts. Therefore, we developed a quantitative real-time RT-PCR assay and measured the amount of viral RNA in selected tissues of infected Swiss Webster mice. Two-day-old mice were highly susceptible, with 100% fatality 9 to 12 days after infection, whereas infection in 9-day-old mice was less virulent, with death occurring only rarely. In nearly all cases, mice inoculated when 2 days old contained similar numbers of viral genome equivalents from blood and liver samples from any given mouse, with titers declining after day 7. In contrast, the amount of viral RNA in the brain began to rise rapidly 4 days after exposure, peaked at about 6 days after virus exposure (titer of >1013 genome equivalents/g), and remained at that level until euthanasia or death. Viral profiles were similar in needle-inoculated or tick-exposed mice.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - In an attempt to improve the current live, attenuated vaccine (TC-83) for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), specific mutations associated with attenuation of VEEV in rodent models were inserted into a full-length cDNA clone of the Trinidad donkey strain of VEEV by site-directed mutagenesis. Because some viruses have been reported to be more pathogenic when introduced by mosquito bite than the same virus introduced by needle inoculation, there were concerns that the presence of mosquito saliva, or changes in the virus caused by replication in a mosquito, might allow the virus to overcome the protective effects of prior vaccination with V3526. Therefore, we determined if hamsters vaccinated with V3526 were protected from challenge with the virulent Trinidad donkey strain of VEEV. All non-vaccinated hamsters died after intraperitoneal challenge or after being fed on by VEEV-inoculated Aedes taeniorhynchus. In contrast, hamsters vaccinated with V3526 were resistant to intraperitoneal challenge and infection by VEEV-infected A. taeniorhynchus. Therefore, the V3526 candidate vaccine elicits protection against VEEV infection by mosquito bite.

N1 - Accession Number: 20083058727. Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: many ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Polymerase chain reaction analysis of Amblyomma americanum adults, nymphs, and larvae from Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (APG), revealed a very high prevalence of a spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsia. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analysis identified "Rickettsia amblyommii". This organism is not yet described or well studied, and its pathogenicity is unknown; however, investigations of the organism are warranted because of its high prevalence in A. americanum. This tick is extremely abundant at military training facilities in the south, central, and Mid-Atlantic United States, and many soldiers experience multiple concurrent tick bites. Bites by R. amblyommii-infected A. americanum may account for rates of SFG rickettsia seropositivity that are higher than reported rates of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) cases from the same location. Seroconversion to SFG rickettsia following bites of A. americanum may suggest that R. amblyommii is infectious in humans. Subclinical infection in the numerous A. americanum tick bite victims could contaminate donated blood and compromise immunodeficient recipients. Detection of R. amblyommii in questing A. americanum larvae suggests transovarial transmission. The absence of R. rickettsii, the agent of RMSF, in A. americanum may be due to transovarial interference by R. amblyommii. The likelihood of pathogen transmission by larvae is magnified by their habit of mass attack. The very small size of the larvae is also a risk factor for pathogen transmission. High R. amblyommii prevalence in populations of A. americanum presage co-infection with other A. americanum-borne pathogens. A. americanum nymphs and adults from APG were found to be co-infected with R. amblyommii and Borrelia lonestari, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii, respectively, and larval pools were infected with both R. amblyommii and B. lonestari. Co-infections can compound effects and complicate diagnosis of tick-borne disease.

By the mid-1960's, however, the Shiites were becoming politicized. The most important role in mobilizing them was played by a charismatic Iranian cleric of Lebanese descent, Sayyid Musa al- Sadr. His efforts were disrupted by the war of 1975-76, and it was not until 1978 that the movement he started enjoyed a revival, in part because of his mysterious disappearance. By the eve of the Israeli invasion of 1982, al-Sadr's organization, Amal, was the most important political grouping among the Shiites. However, after the events of 1982, the Amal movement - an essentially moderate formation - was challenged by a number of more extreme organizations, including Hizbollah [Party of God], which sought an Islamic solution to the plight of the Shiites.

Liddell Hart's continuing value as a military theorist resides in the set of general propositions on which his specific policy prescriptions were based more than on the adequacy of the latter to their time and circumstances. A proper understanding of Liddell Hart's general theory of war must be drawn from a chronological study of his writings. His basic conceptual structure was complete by 1933, and had evolved from consideration of small-unit infantry tactics in World War I, through speculation on the influence of mechanization and a belief in the existence of lessons in history, to a fundamental belief in the central importance of dislocation on battle outcome. In the end, Liddell Hart reminds the soldier that he is engaged in a purposeful activity and one that must be conducted with an eye on the consequences.

Political and military policies prior to the 1967 conflict had weakened the fighting capabilities of the Egyptian armed forces. The creation of major commands between 1964 and 1967 and the concomitant decline in the authority of the chief of the general staff of the Egyptian armed forces served to undermine unity of command and purpose, whereas personnel assignments encouraged the politicization and deprofessionalization of the officer corps. Military reforms after the 1967 debacle brought about structural and personnel changes in the high command, which itself, in the 1973 war, proved to be an efficient offspring of the reorganization instituted by the Nasserist regime during the War of Attrition (1967-70). The result was that the Egyptians were able to field a professional army under a unity of command driven by clear military objectives for the initial phase of the war.

The most important factor is seen to be disillusionment with Western modernism, which has not delivered the expected benefits in recently independent Muslim nations. This inspires a search for a rallying cause around which traditional cultural stability might be recreated. Islam conveniently serves this purpose.

When asked to evaluate someone they had known in rating their least preferred co-worker, approximately two- thirds of the respondents rated a real person, while the other third rated a stereotyped stimulus object. LPC and its subfactors were found to be substantially unrelated to a large number of personality measures.

More helping was found for alone and two-person-group subjects who were exposed to a non ambiguous emergency than for similar subjects who were exposed to a highly ambiguous emergency. In Experiment 2, there was a tendency for the two-person subjects to help less than would be expected from the alone subjects' percentage of helping. The subjects helped in spite of the potential danger present, though they helped in ways that they perceived to be safe. In addition, the subjects who were considered to be competent were not only more likely to help the victim but did so with less risk to them- selves. The results were interpreted as indicating that the characteristics of the emergency situation are important determinants of bystander behavior.

Because of the German past, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has serious reservations about the very idea of military power and armed forces. The founding of the military universities engendered intense public debate over the military's role in a new democratic society and the kind of education its soldiers need. The article examines the historical and political circumstances surrounding the creation of the Bundeswehr universities, the arguments for and against their founding and their curricula and student life. The Bundeswehr continues to face major challenges in legitimizing and maintaining a modern and credible military force in a society that is ultrasensitive to all things military and in which many citizens place an absolute value on peace. The Bundeswehr universities have largely achieved their founders' goals: to attract a sufficient number of talented officers willing to defend their country and able to meet the technological and leadership challenges required by the FRG's armed forces and society.

Intelligence refers to an emphasis on local creativity, surprise, stealth, and adaption, while force relates to an emphasis on central direction, direct power. and hierarchical structure. Bakan's hypothesis was tested in realistic field exercises (n=237) that employed tactical engagement simulation of weapons to simulate casualties and record events. The field exercises consisted of platoon-level, light infantry offensive operations. Intelligence was de- fined in terms of the extent of previous training (in stealth): force was defined by the personnel force ratio, reflecting the degree of numerical predominance on offense. Training in intelligent tactics increased the odds of the offense winning in simulated baffle by 30 to 1, compared with the force ratio, which only increased these odds by 3 to 1—highlighting the importance of intelligent tactical training.

JO - Operations Research JF - Operations Research Y1 - 1975/07//Jul/Aug75 VL - 23 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 824 SN - 0030364X AB - Present war game simulations on computers must be run many times because of random outcomes of two-sided conflict that might obscure or not be very sensitive to engineering changes or design objectives for military equipment. Thus, there is a need for stopping rules that will control risks of erroneous judgments in war game simulations or computer games. In view of a new formulation of basic Lanchester combat theory, it is now possible, when games are analyzed in terms of time-to-kill data, to formulate stopping rules in terms of hypothesis testing procedures and reliability theory. This paper develops procedures that not only give explicit stopping rules, but also control the risks of erroneous judgments to acceptable levels for exponential lifetimes of combat elements.

In his discussion of alcoholism, he disputes the thesis that the Soviet army suffers from widespread drunkenness. His description of army political indoctrination programs contrasts sharply with official Soviet accounts. He argues that despite austere living conditions, the Soviet soldier is a loyal, strong fighter and a formidable opponent.

A survey of paratroopers' attitudes in the 82d Airborne Division before and after their deployment as the first peacekeeping unit showed no lessening in their combat orientation. Their estimate of the likelihood of high-intensity combat during the next decade decreased slightly. Our analysis suggests a potential incompatibility between the action-oriented "parachutists' creed" and the constabulary ethic. The troops felt that the peacekeeping mission required special skills, that it could be performed with minimum force, and that it was inappropriate for their unit.

Refuting DePauw's claims of active female participation in the American Revolutionary War, the author insists that documented cases of women who disguised themselves as men to serve in combat were rare. She concludes by accusing DePauw of distorting American history to support her feminist perspective.

AB - Significant controversy has surrounded the use of psychologists as consultants to military commanders in the interrogation of captive enemy combatants. The evolution of ethical guidelines has rapidly brought standardization and guidance for the growing numbers of psychologists participating in these operations. This article recounts the integration of professional psychological resources in selected military operational units. It also relates the evolution of such resources and the development of ethical guidelines for psychologists supporting interrogation. Finally, the article advocates for the continuing role of psychologists in the provision of consultation to help ensure safe, legal, ethical, and effective military interrogation operations.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Monitoring digital displays for changes will be an increasing part of a soldier’s duties as the U.S. Army transforms to a networked system of systems; however, it is well established that humans often fail to detect such changes in contexts with competing demands on attention. Interventions that enhance visual attention might also enhance change detection, because focused attention has been identified as a requirement for change detection. Given current claims that habitual experience with action video games can increase attentional resources, we investigated whether such experience would lessen the incidence of change blindness in two change detection tasks. Although we replicated a previously demonstrated difference between players and nonplayers on the flanker-compatibility test (Green & Bavelier, 2003), we failed to find evidence that habitual action video game players were superior to nonplayers when it came to change detection.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Over the past two decades, considerable progress has been achieved in an effort to better identify and understand the various types of organizational commitment, the foci toward which such committed bonds are directed, and the myriad outcomes associated with these bonds. This research adds to and extends such work within a military context. Specifically, we explore relations among various forms (e.g., affective, normative, and continuance) of both team- and military-focused commitment and several supervisory-rated performance criteria. Across the different criteria, team-focused commitment tended to be a stronger predictor of performance than military-oriented commitment did. However, military-oriented commitment was inversely related to supervisory ratings of soldiers’ negative behaviors. We discuss the psychological mechanisms that likely drive these findings, the implications of this work, and several potentially fruitful next steps within this research domain.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - In this study, we simulated a generic mounted crew station environment and conducted an experiment to examine the workload and performance of the combined position of gunner and robotics operator. Results showed that participants’ gunnery task performances degraded significantly when they had to concurrently monitor, manage, or teleoperate an unmanned ground vehicle compared to the gunnery single task condition. For the robotics tasks, participants had the lowest performance when using the semi-autonomous robot, indicating overreliance on the aided target recognition capabilities available when task load was heavy (i.e., concurrent performance of the gunnery task). Participants’ perceived workload increased consistently as the concurrent task conditions became more challenging. Individual difference factors such as spatial ability and perceived attentional control were found to correlate significantly with some of the performance measures. Implications for military personnel selection were discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The ability to filter distracting information and selectively attend to relevant information is critical to effective performance on the battlefield. In addition to the cognitive processing burden imposed upon modern warfighters, the effects of stress upon cognition and action must also be accounted for in evaluating individual warfighting capabilities. The current study examines the relationship between stress and cognition by measuring performance on a multiple object tracking (MOT) task after exposure to stress-inducing photographs. Postexposure performance revealed significant decrements in MOT accuracy relative to a nonstressed control group. Implications are discussed regarding the impact of stress on attentional selection for operational scenarios where it is difficult to distinguish friendly individuals from those with hostile intentions, as well as for the development of technology for command, control, communications (computers), and intelligence (C4I) systems.

The problem formulation and exposure analysis phases are presented in this article; an analysis of effects and risk characterization is presented in a companion article. The intent of this article is threefold: (1) to illustrate the development of a generic framework for the ecological risk assessment of an activity, (2) to show how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ecological risk assessment paradigm can be applied to an activity other than the release of a chemical, and (3) to provide guidance for the assessment of ecological risks from low-altitude aircraft overflights. The key stressor for low-altitude aircraft overflights is usually sound, although visual and physical (collision) stressors may also be significant. Susceptible and regulated wildlife populations are the major assessment endpoint entities, although plant communities may be impacted by takeoffs and landings. The exposure analysis utilizes measurements of wildlife locations, measurements of sound levels at the wildlife locations, measurements of slant distances from aircraft to wildlife, models that extrapolate sound from the source aircraft to the ground, and bird-strike probability models. Some of the challenges to conducting a risk assessment for aircraft overflights include prioritizing potential stressors and endpoints, choosing exposure metrics that relate to wildlife responses, obtaining good estimates of sound or distance, and estimating wildlife locations.

The public appetite for military history has led to an increase in poorly written and thinly researched trade paperbacks, a consequence that diminishes rather than enhances the general public's understanding of the military and its past. The profusion of nonacademic military histories also taints by association the reputations of academic military historians among their colleagues. Despite these prejudices, academic military historians have long incorporated social and cultural contexts into their analyses.

AB - Iron is a nutritionally essential trace element that functions through incorporation into proteins and enzymes, many of which contribute to physical and neuropsychological performance. Poor iron status, including iron deficiency (ID; diminished iron stores) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA; poor iron stores and diminished hemoglobin), affects billions of people worldwide. This review focuses on physical and neuropsychological outcomes associated with ID and IDA in premenopausal women, as the prevalence of ID and IDA is often greater in premenopausal women than other population demographics. Recent studies addressing the physiological effects of poor iron status on physical performance, including work productivity, voluntary activity, and athletic performance, are addressed. Similarly, the effects of iron status on neurological performance, including cognition, affect, and behavior, are summarized. Nutritional countermeasures for the prevention of poor iron status and the restoration of decrements in performance outcomes are described.

According to the researchers, BoNTs are highly poisonous substances that are also effective medicines. They note that the ingestion of Clostridium botulinum-contaminated food often results in accidental BoNT poisoning. They present the crystal structure of a BoNT in complex with a clostridial nontoxic nonhemagglutinin (NTNHA) protein and discuss the results of biochemical and functional studies showing NTNHA's role in protecting BoNT from gastrointestinal degradation.

The Editors of Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management invited experts in the field to describe the primary issues associated with the control and release of radioactive materials to the environment, particularly those that are of importance to the health of the human populations and the ecological systems that populate our planet. This collection of invited short commentaries aims to inform on the safety of nuclear power plants damaged by natural disasters and provide a primer on the potential environmental impacts. The intent of these invited commentaries is not to fuel the excitement and fears about the Fukushima Daiichi incident; rather, it is to collect views and comments from some of the world's experts on the broad science and policy challenges raised by this event, and to provide high-level views on the science issues that surround this situation in order to improve our collective ability to avoid or at least minimize the consequences of future events.

Under a system of absolutely free choice, and competing on an equal footing with journalism, business law and photography, the courses in the modern foreign languages were far more popular than had been expected. Nearly one student in every three at the university were studying some foreign language, which warrants the conclusion that U.S. servicemen will watch with keen interest the role of foreign languages in the peace-time curriculum. Most of the students had widely different linguistic backgrounds. Some of them, though probably less than a quarter, had a year of rarely two years of the language in high school. Grammar was treated inductively, that is, the phrases were learned and used until fairly fluent and automatic. No attempt was made to conjugate the tense of a verb, until practically all the necessary forms had been learned separately in a phrase or other context. Then the tense was assembled, and the conjugation learned as a handy device for remembering the forms or creating similar ones for other verb.

The aim of the training is accomplished through development of basic elements of strength, endurance, personal skills and psychological and social characteristics of an officer. Each cadet is given a broad sports education and courses in instructor training, command voice techniques, appreciation of military physical education and the administration of adequate military physical education programs, all of which contribute to the development of professional elements for military leadership. Finally, to insure a physically active military career for each graduating cadet the authorities give each cadet a thorough indoctrination in recreational sports of an individual nature, following which he may perfect himself by attending free time instruction classes conducted by the department.

AB - The purpose of this research was to examine how work experiences contribute to junior officers' intentions to leave the Army. Specifically, we hypothesized that psychological climate perceptions have direct and indirect effects on intent to leave through affective commitment and morale and that affective and continuance commitment interact to predict intent to leave the Army. The sample for this study was 649 captains who responded to an Army-wide survey, the Fall 2002 Sample Survey of Military Personnel. Results demonstrate support for full mediation, indicating that psychological climate impacts intent to leave the Army by influencing captains' affective commitment and morale. The psychological climate dimension of leadership had the largest impact on affective commitment, morale, and intent to leave the Army. Affective commitment did not interact with continuance commitment to predict intent to leave. Implications for Army retention policies and leadership are discussed.

AB - The effectiveness of emerging technology in helping to develop the tacit or experience-based knowledge needed for effective leadership performance was demonstrated in an on-line environment for discussion and training. One hundred and twenty-seven military students participated in three 20-minute discussions in one of three learning environments: standard classroom; standard on-line discussion; and discussion assisted by semantic technology. Consistent with expectations, semantic technology-supported learning resulted in greater discussion participation and training performance with discussion participation mediating the relationship between the learning environment and training satisfaction. An interaction between learning goal orientation (LGO) and learning environment on tacit knowledge performance showed that face-to-face conditions may help those with low LGO. Implications for improving tacit knowledge acquisition and technology-supported leadership development practices are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - The main purposes of this study were (a) to compare the effects of mental imagery combined with physical practise and specific physical practise on the retention and transfer of a closed motor skill in young children; (b) to determine the mental imagery (visual vs. kinesthetic), which is the most efficient for retention and transfer of a closed motor skill; and (c) to verify the relationship between movement image vividness and motor performance. As for the secondary purpose, it was to compare the effects of gender on motor learning. Participants (n = 96) were selected from 3 primary schools. These participants were divided into 6 groups and submitted to different experimental conditions. The experimental task required the participants to throw, with the nondominant hand (left hand), a ball toward a target composed of 3 concentric circles. The results demonstrated that performance obtained by the mental imagery (visual or kinesthetic) combined with physical practise group was, during the retention phase, equivalent to that produced by the specific physical practise group but significantly superior during the transfer of closed motor skill. These results showed the potential benefits of mental imagery as a retention strategy intended for motor skills and performance enhancement. Such results could be explained by the similarity of 3 principal functional evidences shared by mental and physical practise: behavioural, central, and peripheral (as suggested by Holmes & Collins, 2001).

AB - The military environment has unique stressors. This study investigates the types of stressors, appraisals, and coping responses of U.S. soldiers and their leaders. A qualitative analysis of interviews indicates that the traditional coping buffers of social drinking and seeking social support from fellow soldiers, family, and leaders can potentially serve as sources of stress. While this paradox may be a result of the unique types of stressors in the military work environment, these results should direct researchers to better understand individuals' perceptions and appraisals of stress, with a focus on the meaning of stress, given contextual factors inherent in the workplace. The findings are discussed in relation to the literature on the impact of stress on physical and psychological health. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - The goal of this research was to examine the ways in which human operators interact with simulated semiautonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), semiautonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and teleoperated UGVs (Teleop). Robotic operators performed parallel route reconnaissance missions with each platform alone and with all three platforms. When given all three platforms, participants failed to detect more targets than when given only the UAV or UGV; they were also less likely to complete their mission in the allotted time. Target detection during missions was the poorest with the Teleop alone, likely because of the demands of remote driving. Spatial ability was found to be a good predictor of target-detection performance. However, slowing sensor feed video frame rate or the imposition of a short response latency (250 ms) between Teleop control and Teleop reaction failed to affect target-detection performance significantly. Nevertheless, these video image manipulations did influence assessment of system usability. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - The purpose of the research was to assess the diagnostic efficiency of the Primary Care Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Screen (PC-PTSD) and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL) as clinical screening tools for active duty soldiers recently returned from a combat deployment. A secondary goal was to examine the item-level characteristics of both the PC-PTSD and the PCL. A validation study conducted with a sample of 352 service members showed that both the PC-PTSD and PCL had good diagnostic efficiency. The overall diagnostic efficiency assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) was virtually the same for both the PC-PTSD and PCL. The most efficient cutoff values for the PC-PTSD were either 2 or 3 "yes" responses with the latter favoring specificity. For the PCL, the most efficient cutoff values were between 30 and 34, mirroring recommended PCL cutoff values from some studies in primary care settings. The examination of item characteristics suggested a 4-item PCL with an AUC virtually identical to that of the full PCL. Item analyses also identified that the most discriminate item in both scales pertained to symptoms of avoidance. Implications and limitations are discussed.

AB - The potential for change detection failure during the monitoring of a military digital situation awareness map was investigated. Participants were asked to monitor the map for icon appearance or disappearance. A change accompanied by two other changes was detected 69.3% of the time, while the same change occurring alone was detected 79.6% of the time. When three changes occurred simultaneously, all three were detected only 37% of the time. Detection of icon appearance was superior to detection of icon disappearance, as might be expected from the literature on visual attention. The discussion addresses the need to represent change explicitly in such systems and suggests properties that a change detection aid should possess.

In this article, we examine their criticisms and argue that the traditional banding approach is not flawed. We discuss the logic underlying the traditional test band methodology and show that it is consistent with conceptual models of the validation process as used by personnel psychologists. We also examine the alternative banding procedure suggested by Aguinis et al. and identify several problems with this procedure.

AB - Initial progress has been attained through a flexible centrally coordinated, worldwide network of partners that promote, maintain, coordinate, and enhance a responsive and informative surveillance system. It is envisioned that these surveillance activities will enable pattern countries and the U.S. military to make informed decisions about STI threats and design programs to reduce their incidence and morbidity, as well as ensure global health security. This effort faces many challenges. For example, aside from logistical difficulties inherent in implementing surveillance in resource constrained areas (e.g., cold chain and transpoit), we have noted difficulties in case enrollment stemming from cultural based reticence to providing pennission for parental consent in those less than 18 years of age, as well as from the ubiquitous access to over-the-counter antimicrobials that leads to inappropriate use of antimicrobials acquired from pharmticies or family and friends, a practice that undermines the successful isolation of NG isolates, regardless of resistance profiles, and contributes to resistance.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - This study aimed to merge existing methodologies of identifying high-risk soldiers to create a comprehensive testable model to assist leaders in the identification, mitigation, and prevention of negative behavioral health (BH) issues. In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The 'recent loss of someone close' and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study’s primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

AB - The period after returning from combat deployment is a dynamic time for relationships. Anecdotally, some couples report their relationship is stronger after the deployment and others report the onset of marital problems. In a sample of 194 soldiers, we examined the association between combat exposure, mental health symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and intent to divorce or separate during the 4- and 9- month post-deployment period. At Time 1, 37% soldiers reported problems in their marriage and the degree of marital distress was positively associated with PTSD symptoms, depressive symptoms, and aggression. Time 2 intent to divorce or separate was bivariately associated with Time 1 marital distress, relationship psychological aggression, and PTSD re-experiencing symptoms; there were also trends for combat exposure and general aggression to be bivariately associated with Time 2 intent to divorce or separate. Further, there was a significant interaction between marital distress and combat exposure such that military personnel with a combination of high levels of combat exposure and marital distress were at heightened risk for intent to divorce at Time 2, even after accounting for PTSD symptoms. This finding suggests higher levels of combat exposure may influence willingness to stay in a distressed marriage; possible mechanisms for this, such as changes in life priorities, are discussed.

AB - Elementary education makes use of manipulatives in the teaching of fundamental mathematical concepts. As the age of the students progress, mathematics becomes much more abstract and concepts such as the integral become harder for some students to visualize. One approach we have implemented is the use of construction paper as a manipulative. This simple hands-on object can be used to demonstrate the basic properties of integrals to students who struggle greatly with the underlying ideas, especially when they are first encountered. Through the treatment of the integral as something that can be held in the hand and modified with the use of scissors, many of the basic properties of integrals can be demonstrated, as well as the intuition behind the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

AB - This study compared three-dimensional trunk and pelvis range of motion (ROM) during a sustained asymmetric box lift/lower task between a group with a history of low back pain (HBP, n = 9) and a group with no history of low back pain (NBP, n = 9). Participants lifted an 11-kg box for 10 min at 12 cycles/min from ankle height in front to shelves 45 deg off-centre at waist height. Kinematic data were collected at the beginning (min1), middle (min5) and end of the bout (min9). Two-way analyses of variance were performed for all variables. Pelvis and trunk transverse ROM were similar at min1. By min9, HBP group did not change (31.9 ± 9 deg); however, ROM decreased in NBP group (21.6 ± 6 deg, p < 0.05). Therefore, despite no current pain, the HBP group demonstrated protective lifting mechanics compared to controls. Also discussed are implications for studying lifting paradigms at sub-maximal effort over longer periods of time. Practitioner summary: Differences between groups over time demonstrate residual consequences of low back pain (LBP) in a manual materials handling scenario. Individuals with a history of LBP (pain free for 6 months) demonstrated more conservative lifting mechanics towards the end of the bout compared to controls with no history of LBP.

AB - To perform effectively in complex mission environments, security personnel and leaders must be flexible and adaptable in responding to rapidly changing conditions. Psychological hardiness marks resilient people who maintain their health and performance despite stressful situations. The present study evaluates psychological hardiness at entry to West Point military academy as a predictor of leader performance and adaptability over time. Predictors also included Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, and a composite indicator of leader potential (Whole Candidate Score) taken from admissions records. Using the Pulakos adaptability taxonomy as a guide, adaptability performance items were taken from a survey of graduates given 3 years after graduation. Also, military leadership grades as West Point seniors provided an index of traditional military performance. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Whole Candidate Scores predict military leader performance at West Point, but not leader adaptability after graduation. However, hardiness predicts leader performance at West Point, and also leader adaptability (self- and supervisor ratings) after graduation. SAT scores and the challenge facet of hardiness are negative predictors of leader performance at West Point. Results indicate that while the traditional measures Whole Candidate Score predicts leader performance in the stable, highly regulated environment of West Point, it does not predict leader adaptability and performance in the uncertain environment of real-world operations. In contrast, psychological hardiness (commitment and control facets) measured as academy freshmen predicts leader adaptability in officers measured 7 years later. Psychological hardiness appears to be a promising factor in promoting the development of adaptability.

AB - Objective: This research evaluated the training effectiveness of a novel simulation interface, a wearable computer integrated into a soldier’s load-bearing equipment. Background: Military teams often use game-based simulators on desktop computers to train squad-level procedures. A wearable computer interface that mimics the soldier’s equipment was expected to provide better training through increased realism and immersion. Method: A heuristic usability evaluation and two experiments were conducted. Eight evaluators interacted with both wearable and desktop interfaces and completed a usability survey. The first experiment compared the training retention of the wearable interface with a desktop simulator and interactive training video. The second experiment compared the training transfer of the wearable and desktop simulators with a live training environment. Results: Results indicated the wearable interface was more difficult to use and elicited stronger symptoms of simulator sickness. There was no significant difference in training retention between the wearable, desktop, or interactive video training methods. The live training used in the second experiment provided superior training transfer than the simulator conditions, with no difference between the desktop and wearable. Conclusion: The wearable simulator interface did not provide better training than the desktop computer interface. It also had poorer usability and caused worse simulator sickness. Therefore, it was a less effective training tool. Application: This research illustrates the importance of conducting empirical evaluations of novel training technologies. New and innovative technologies are always coveted by users, but new does not always guarantee improvement.

AB - In a unique longitudinal study of teen driving, risky driving behaviour and the occurrence of crashes or near crashes are measured prospectively over the first 18 months of licensure. Of scientific interest is relating the two processes and developing a predictor of crashes from previous risky driving behaviour. In this work, we propose two latent class models for relating risky driving behaviour to the occurrence of a crash or near‐crash event. The first approach models the binary longitudinal crash or near‐crash outcome by using a binary latent variable which depends on risky driving covariates and previous outcomes. A random‐effects model introduces heterogeneity among subjects in modelling the mean value of the latent state. The second approach extends the first model to the ordinal case where the latent state is composed of K ordinal classes. Additionally, we discuss an alternative hidden Markov model formulation. Estimation is performed by using the expectation–maximization algorithm and Monte Carlo expectation–maximization. We illustrate the importance of using these latent class modelling approaches through the analysis of the teen driving behaviour.

To identify features of training games that influence instruction and motivation, a popular first-person-perspective game with a military theme was analyzed empirically. Twenty-one participants played the 'basic training' portion of the game, which included Army background information, virtual marksmanship training, an obstacle course, virtual weapons familiarization, and an urban terrain training mission. The results of this research provide useful information to individuals developing training games, desktop simulations, and interactive multimedia courseware to meet optimal training objectives and strategies.

AB - Background: The use of religious practices to promote mental health among African Americans is well documented. African Americans are more likely to report strong religious affiliations and to use religion over prescribed medications for mental health problems. However, few studies have explored how African Americans use religious practices in response to stressful life events. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine how African American women and men find comfort in using scripture passages from The Bible. Methods: Fifty-four African American adults residing in the Southeastern United States participated in a qualitative descriptive study using open-ended semistructured interviews. Participants were asked to describe their use of scripture passages from The Bible and the personal meanings associated with these scriptures in the context of a family death or life-threatening illness. Results: These participants used scripture passages categorized as God as Protector, God as Beneficent, Praise and Thanksgiving, God as Healer, Memory of Forefathers, Prayers to God, and Life after Death. Few gender differences were noted. However, women were more likely to use scripture passages of God as Protector and Life after Death, whereas men were more likely to use God as Beneficent and God as Healer. Discussion: The religious practice of reading scripture passages from The Bible is a mental health-promoting strategy used during stressful life events. The findings of this study have practical uses for nurses and can be used to inform acceptable and sensitive approaches in addressing mental health issues and spiritual care needs in African American patients.

Because this routine exposure can cause high levels of stress in workers, it is important to investigate factors that contribute to both risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and healthy responses to stress. Although some research has found social support to mitigate the effects of posttraumatic stress symptoms, scant research has investigated organizational support. The aim of the present study is to investigate the temporal relationship between stress symptoms and perceived organizational support in a sample of 1,039 service members deployed to the peacekeeping mission to Kosovo. Participants completed self-report measures of stress symptoms and perceived organizational support at 4 study time points. Bivariate latent difference score structural equation modeling was utilized to examine the temporal relationship among stress and perceived organizational support. In general, across the 4 time points, latent PCL scores evidenced a salient and negative relationship to subsequent POS latent difference scores. However, no significant relationship was found between latent POS variables and subsequent PCL latent difference scores. Findings suggest that prior stress symptoms are influencing service member’s perceptions of the supportiveness of their organization such that increased prior stress is associated with worsening perceptions of support. These results illustrate that targeting stress directly may potentiate the positive influence of organizational support and that institutional support programs should be adapted to better account for the negative biases increased distress may encourage.

To mitigate this increased risk, mental health training programs have been developed and implemented in several nations. As part of a coordinated effort, three nations adapted a U.S. mental health training program that had been validated by a series of group randomized trials demonstrating improvement in postdeployment adjustment. Implementation of evidence-based programs in a new context is challenging: How much of the original program needs to remain intact in order to retain its utility? User satisfaction rates can provide essential data to assess how well a program is accepted. This article summarizes service member ratings of postdeployment mental health training and compares ratings from service members across four nations. The participating nations (Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States) administered mental health training to active duty military personnel in their respective nations. Following the training, military personnel completed an evaluation of the training. Overall, across the four nations, more than 70% of military personnel agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied with the mental health training. Although some differences in evaluations were observed across nations, components of training that were most important to overall satisfaction with the training were strikingly similar across nations. Fundamentally, it appears feasible that despite cultural and organizational differences, a mental health training program developed in one nation can be successfully adapted for use in other nations.

AB - The present experiment tested 60 individuals on a multiple screen, visual target detection task. Using a within-participant design, individuals received no-cue augmentation, an augmenting tactile cue alone, an augmenting auditory cue alone or both of the latter augmentations in combination. Results showed significant and substantive improvements in performance such that successful search speed was facilitated by more than 43%, errors of omission were reduced by 86% and errors of commission were reduced by more than 77% in the combinatorial cueing condition compared with the non-cued control. These outcomes were not a trade of performance efficiency for associated mental effort because recorded levels of cognitive workload were also reduced by more than 30% in the multi-cued circumstance compared with the control condition. When the tactile modality was incorporated it led to the highest gain in performance speed, when the auditory modality was incorporated, it led to the best levels of performance accuracy. The combined condition rendered the best of each from of performance increment. Reasons for this outcome pattern are discussed alongside their manifest practical benefits.

AB - Training in virtual environments (VEs) has the potential to establish mental models and task mastery while providing a safe environment in which to practice. Performance feedback is known to contribute to this learning; however, the most effective ways to provide feedback in VEs have not been established. The present study examined the effects of differing feedback content, focusing on adaptive feedback. Participants learned search procedures during multiple missions in a VE. A control group received only a performance score after each mission. Two groups additionally received either detailed or general feedback after each mission, while two other groups received feedback that adapted based on their performance (either detailed-to-general, or general-to-detailed). Groups that received detailed feedback from the start of training had faster performance improvement than all other groups; however, all feedback groups showed improved performance and by the fourth mission performed at levels above the control group. Results suggest that detailed feedback early in the training cycle is the most beneficial for the fastest learning of new task skills in VEs.

AB - Several studies have demonstrated that affective states influence the number of associations formed between remotely related concepts. Someone in a neutral or negative affective state might draw the association between cold and hot, whereas someone in a positive affective state might spontaneously form the more distant association between cold and sneeze. Could the reverse be true, that generating increasingly broad or narrow associations will put someone in a more or less positive affective state? We test this possibility by using verbal free association tasks, and asking whether the breadth of semantic associativity between cue words and generated responses might predict resulting affective states. Two experiments show that generating broader associations, regardless of their valence, changes affect; specifically, broader associations lowered negative affect and marginally increased positive affect over time. These findings carry implications for theories positing interactions between brain areas mediating associative processing and affect, and may hold promise for enhancing affect in clinical contexts.

AB - Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has gained considerable notoriety during the past decade of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, the relationship between combat-related mTBI and residual mTBI symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and neurocognitive deficits remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to compare residual mTBI and PTSD symptoms, and neurocognitive deficits among U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) personnel with diagnosed blunt, blast, and blast–blunt combination mTBIs. This study involved a retrospective medical records review of 27,169 USASOC personnel who completed a military version of the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment Cognitive Test (ImPACT), Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS), and PTSD Checklist (PCL) between November 2009 and December 2011. Of the 22,203 personnel who met criteria for the study, 2,813 (12.7%) had a diagnosis of at least one mTBI. A total of 28% (n = 410) of USASOC personnel with a history of diagnosed mTBI reported clinical levels of PTSD symptoms. Personnel with a history of diagnosed blunt (OR = 3.58), blast (OR = 4.23) or combination (OR = 5.73) mTBI were at significantly (p = 0.001) greater risk of reporting clinical levels of PTSD symptoms than those with no history of mTBI. A dose-response gradient for exposure to blast/combination mTBI on clinical levels of PTSD symptoms was also significant (p = 0.001). Individuals with blast/combination mTBIs scored higher in residual mTBI (p = 0.001) and PTSD symptoms (p = 0.001), and performed worse on tests of visual memory (p = 0.001), and reaction time (p = 0.001) than those with blunt or no mTBI history. Individuals with combination mTBIs scored lower in verbal memory (p = 0.02) than those with blunt mTBIs. Residual PTSD and mTBI symptoms appear to be more prevalent in personnel with blast mTBI. A dose-response gradient for blast mTBI and symptoms suggests that repeated exposures to these injuries may have lingering effects.

International Forum of Educational Technology & Society (IFETS) AB - New technologies often have the potential for disrupting existing established practices, but nowhere is this so pertinent as in education and training today. And yet, education has been glacially slow to adopt these changes in a large scale way, and innovations seem to be imposed mainly by students’ and their changing social lifestyles than by policy. Will this change? Leadership is sorely needed. Education needs to become more modular and move out of the classroom into informal settings, homes, and especially the internet. Nationwide certifications based on these modules would permit technology to enter education more rapidly. Smaller nations may be more flexible in making these very disruptive changes.

AB - This matched single-blind pilot study tested the effect of Transcendental Meditation® (TM) practice on symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS) in Congolese refugees. Urban refugees (N = 102) staying around Kampala, Uganda attended introductory meetings. After initial random assignment to the TM group, 30 refugees who revealed that they were unable to attend all meetings and were eliminated from the study. The remaining 21 TM group participants were then instructed in TM and matched with refugees in the control group on age, sex, and baseline scores on the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist–Civilian (PCL-C). All participants completed the PCL-C measure of PTS symptoms at baseline, and 30-day and 135-day posttests. The PCL-C scores in the control group trended upward. In contrast, the PCL-C scores in the TM group went from 65 on average at baseline indicating severe PTS symptoms to below 30 on average after 30 days of TM practice, and remained low at 135 days. Effect size was high (d > 1.0). Compliance with TM practice was good; most reported regular practice throughout the study. There were no adverse events. All refugees who learned TM completed the study and were able to practice TM successfully, with subsequent substantial reduction in PTS symptoms.

AB - Objective: In this study, the impact of including a bone conduction transducer in a three-channel spatialized communication system was investigated. Background: Several military and security forces situations require concurrent listening to three or more radio channels. In such radio systems, spatial separation between three concurrent radio channels can be achieved by delivering separate signals to the left and right earphone independently and both earphones simultaneously. This method appears to be effective; however, the use of bone conduction as one channel may provide both operational and performance benefits. Method: Three three-channel communication systems were used to collect speech intelligibility data from 18 listeners (System 1, three loudspeakers; System 2, stereo headphones; System 3, stereo headphones and a bone conduction vibrator). Each channel presented signals perceived to originate from separate locations. Volunteers listened to three sets of competing sentences and identified a number, color, and object spoken in the target sentence. Each listener participated in three trials (one per system). Each trial consisted of 48 competing sentence sets. Results: Systems 2 and 3 were more intelligible than System 1. Systems 2 and 3 were overall equally intelligible; however, the intelligibility of all three channels was significantly more balanced in System 3. Conclusion: Replacing an air conduction transducer with a bone conduction transducer in a multichannel audio device can provide a more effective and balanced simultaneous monitoring auditory environment. Application: These results have important design and implementation implications for spatial auditory communication equipment.

Arrays of microcavities, each having an elliptical cross-sectional geometry with major and minor axis lengths of 800 and 600 µm, respectively, and depths adjustable from 40 to 300 µm, exhibit a pronounced dependence of the emitter electron current on microcavity depth. For electric field strengths at the emitter surface of ∼5–12 V/µm, the RMS current density generated by an array of 250 µm-deep microcavities with a packing density of 214±2 cm-2 ranges from ∼3 mA cm-2 to beyond 8 mA cm-2, or more than a factor of five larger than that produced from a planar PZT surface.

Accurate depth assessment is important because it dictates how aggressive treatment needs to be to minimize or prevent cosmetic and functional deficits. Depth of injury typically is assessed by physical examination. Diagnosing very superficial and very deep lesions is relatively easy for the experienced burn surgeon. Lesions of intermediate depth, however, are often problematic in determining the need for grafting. This study was a preliminary evaluation of two noninvasive bioengineering methodologies, laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) and indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICGFI), to determine their ability to accurately diagnose depth of sulfur mustard lesions in a weanling swine model. Histological evaluation was used to assess the accuracy of the imaging techniques in determining burn depth. Six female weanling swine (8-12 kg) were exposed to 400 mul of neat sulfur mustard on six ventral sites for 2, 8, 30, or 60 minutes. This exposure regimen produced lesions of varying depths from superficial to deep dermal. Evaluations of lesion depth using the bioengineering techniques were conducted at 24, 48, and 72 hours after exposure. After euthanasia at 72 hours after exposure, skin biopsies were taken from each site and processed for routine hematoxylin and eosin histological evaluation to determine the true depth of the lesion. Results demonstrated that LDPI and ICGFI were useful tools to characterize skin perfusion and provided a good estimate of HD lesion depth. Traditional LDPI and the novel prototype ICGFI instrumentation used in this study produced images of blood flow through skin lesions, which provided a useful assessment of burn depth. LDPI and ICGFI accurately predicted the need for aggressive treatment (30- and 60-minute HD lesions) and nonaggressive treatment (2- and 8-minute HD lesions) for the lesions generated in this study. Histological evaluation confirmed the accuracy of the assessment. The ICGFI instrument offers several advantages over LDPI including real-time blood flow imaging, low cost, small size, portability, and not requiring the patient to be repositioned. A negative, however, is the need for intravenous dye injection. Although this would not be an issue in a hospital, it may be problematic in a mass casualty field setting. Additional experiments are required to determine the exposure time necessary to produce a graded series of partial-thickness HD lesions and to optimize instrumental parameters. The data generated in this follow-on study will allow for a full assessment of the potential LDPI and ICGFI hold for predicting the need for aggressive treatment after HD exposure. The lasting message is that objective imaging techniques can augment the visual judgment of burn depth.

Because RSDL may need to be used to decontaminate wounded personnel, we conducted an assessment of the effect of this agent on wound healing. A skin incision model using male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 19 rats/group) was used. A 7.0-cm incision was made through the skin, and RSDL was (experimental group) or was not (control group) applied to the open wound; the wound edges were then approximated with sutures. Seven days later, animals were euthanized and wound samples were taken. Healing was assessed by measuring mechanical strength, collagen content, and histological appearance. RSDL-treated wounds had 23% lower tensile strength (p < 0.05) and 11% lower collagen content (p < 0.05) than did the untreated control wounds. Histological assessments did not differ significantly between groups. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the application of RSDL directly to an open wound impairs wound strength and decreases collagen content in the early phases of wound healing. This may have clinical implications for the treatment and outcomes of chemical casualty combat trauma.

DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING: Animal laboratory of a government research institute. SUBJECTS: Twenty swine (weight 36.4+/-0.11 kg). INTERVENTIONS: Fixed-volume hemorrhage followed by resuscitation; off-line analysis of RRI and SAP data. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Anesthetized swine (shock group, n=12) underwent withdrawal of 30 mL/kg blood in 10 mL/kg decrements. A control group (n=8) received maintenance fluids only. Electrocardiogram and arterial pressure waveforms were acquired at 500 Hz. Eight hundred-beat data sets were analyzed at six time points: at baseline, after each blood withdrawal, after lactated Ringer's resuscitation, and after infusion of shed blood. Nonlinear methods were used to estimate the complexity (approximate entropy, sample entropy, Lempel-Ziv entropy, normalized entropy of symbol dynamics), RRI bits per word, and fractal dimension by curve lengths and by dispersion analysis of the RRI and SAP time series. Fast Fourier transformation was used to measure the high-frequency and low-frequency powers of RRI and SAP. Baroreflex sensitivity was assessed in the time domain with the sequence method. Hemorrhagic shock caused decreases in RRI complexity as quantified by approximate entropy, sample entropy, and symbol dynamics; these changes were reversed by resuscitation. Similar but statistically insignificant changes in fractal dimension by curve lengths were seen. RRI high-frequency power decreased with hemorrhagic shock-indicating withdrawal of vagal cardiac input-and was restored by resuscitation. Similar changes in baroreflex sensitivity were seen. Hemorrhagic shock did not affect SAP complexity. CONCLUSIONS: Hemorrhagic shock caused a reversible decrease in RRI complexity; these changes may be mediated by changes in vagal cardiac control. Assessment of RRI complexity may permit identification of casualties with hemorrhagic shock. SN - 0090-3493 AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Fort Sam Houston, TX, USA.

A set of questionnaires was administered to soldiers attending training for a digital system; 1 before and 1 after training. The participants were 24 enlisted and 12 officers. The questionnaire assessed soldier opinions and attitudes towards a specific digital system. Soldier responses before and after training were compared to assess the effect of training. Results suggest soldiers generally feel digital systems are useful and worth the additional effort required to learn to use them.

Using an occupational stress framework, we developed a theoretical model for how these variables would interact and impact reservist job satisfaction and well-being. We tested the model using longitudinal data collected from 105 Reservists activated and mobilized after September 11, 2001 for homeland defense. Our central proposition was that perceptions of procedural justice in the early months of the mobilization would have important indirect carry-over effects in terms of soldiers' follow-on job satisfaction and well-being. Specifically, we proposed that procedural justice, self-efficacy, and intragroup conflict would show a 3-way interaction such that self-efficacy would display a buffering effect only when accompanied by high procedural justice. Results supported our theoretical proposition. Practical implications are discussed.

By June 1970, the army had nearly eliminated H&I. The reasons for this shift inform the ongoing debate over American strategy during the Vietnam War. Although both General William C. Westmoreland and his successor, General Creighton W. Abrams, emphasized that poorly applied firepower could cause collateral damage, neither leader viewed H&I as inherently counterproductive. Indeed, both leaders responded to budgetary pressures, rather than concern over civilian casualties, when reducing H&I. Neither reduced H&I fire as part of a radical shift in strategy.

The Kramers-Kronig (K-K) relations relate the real and imaginary parts of the frequency-domain response. In ultrasonics, K-K relations often are used to link attenuation and dispersion. We review both integral and differential forms of the frequency-domain K-K relations that are relevant to theoretical models and laboratory measurements. We consider two methods for implementing integral K-K relations for the case of finite-bandwidth data, namely, extrapolation of data and restriction of integration limits. For the latter approach, we discuss the accuracy of K-K predictions for specific classes of system behavior and how the truncation of the integrals affects this accuracy. We demonstrate the accurate prediction of attenuation and dispersion using several forms of the K-K relations relevant to experimental measurements of media with attenuation coefficients obeying a frequency power law and media consisting of resonant scatterers. We also review the time-causal relations that describe the time-domain consequences of causality in the wave equation. These relations can be thought of as time-domain analogs of the (frequency-domain) K-K relations. Causality-imposed relations, such as the K-K and time-causal relations, provide useful tools for the analysis of measurements and models of acoustic systems.

Preliminary phase-noise measurement indicated approximately 140-dB reduction of the spurious level.

A potential problem with this approach is that most dimensionality reduction techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA), seek to maximize the representation of data variation into a small number of PCA components, without considering interclass discriminability This paper presents a neural-network-based transformation that simultaneously seeks to provide dimensionality reduction and a high degree of discriminability by combining together the learning mechanism of a neural-network-based PCA and a backpropagation learning algorithm. The joint discrimination-compression algorithm is applied to infrared imagery to detect military vehicles.

However, the resistance and capacitance between the layers can significantly alter the electrical performance of a waveguide modulator. These interface characteristics are related to the boundary charge density and are strongly affected by the adhesion of the Layers in the waveguide stack. An electrical reactance model has been derived to investigate this phenomenon at low frequencies. The model shows the waveguide stack frequency response has no limiting effects below the microwave range and that a true dc response requires a stable voltage for over 1000 h. Thus, reactance of the layers is the key characteristic of optimizing the voltage across the core layer, even at very low frequencies (> 10-6 Hz). The results of the model are compared with experimental data for two polymer systems and show quite good correlation.

Extending this algorithm to a feature space associated with the original input space via a certain nonlinear mapping function can provide a nonlinear version of the RX-algorithm. This non- linear RX-algorithm, referred to as the kernel RX-algorithm, is basically intractable mainly due to the high dimensionality of the feature space produced by the nonlinear mapping function. However, in this paper it is shown that the kernel RX-algorithm can easily be implemented by kernelizing the RX-algorithm in the feature space in terms of kernels that implicitly compute dot products in the feature space. Improved performance of the kernel RX-algorithm over the conventional RX-algorithm is shown by testing several hyperspectral imagery for military target and mine detection.

The objective is to realistically produce two distinct types of ground loading for either wheeled or tracked vehicles in our propagation models: lower frequency loading associated with suspension dynamics and higher frequency impulsive loading associated with tire treads or wheels rolling over individual track blocks. These loading characteristics are important because field measurements show that vehicle ground forcing in both frequency bands produces seismic surface waves that networked sensors can remotely process for security applications. The method utilizes a vehicle-dynamics model to calculate a response to vehicle acceleration and ground features such as bumps; calculates forces transmitted to the ground; distributes these forces to staggered points of a finite-difference model; and simulates seismic wave propagation away from the vehicle. We demonstrate the method using bounce-and-pitch models of wheeled and tracked vehicles. We show that by carefully preprocessing force inputs, we can accurately simulate wave propagation and seismic signatures in finite-difference analyses of vehicles moving continuously over terrain.

The measured data from flight and wind-tunnel tests were compared with calculations obtained using the comprehensive analysis CAMRAD II. The calculations were made using two free-wake models: rolled up and multiple trailer with consolidation models. At transition speed, there is fair to good agreement for the blade section normal force between the test data and analysis for the H-34, research Puma, and SA 349/2 with the rolled-up wake. The calculated airloads differ significantly from the measurements for the UH-60A and BO-105. Better correlation is obtained for the UH-60A and BO-105 by using the multiple trailer with consolidation wake model. In the high-speed condition, the analysis shows generally good agreement with the research Puma flight data in both magnitude and phase. However, poor agreement is obtained for the other rotors examined. The analysis shows that the aerodynamic tip design (chord length and quarter-chord location) of the research Puma has an important influence on the phase correlation.

The Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD, has been evaluating conventional and unconventional devices for an extended period of time. Large diameter thyristors have been explored and evaluated at currents in excess of 200 kA. Reverse dynistors, a Russian device, have shown even better performance than conventional thyristors due to their very fine gate structure (10-100s of microns). Fine gate structure leads to faster turnon, so that the switch is in full conduction much faster than those with more conventional gates, which vastly improves the reliability and lifetime of such devices. Silicon power corporation (SPCO) has produced a thyristor with an even finer gate structure than the dynistor. This super GTO (SGTO) also differs from conventional high-current thyristors in that it is modular rather than a single wafer design. Aside from a potential reduction in cost due to improved yield, the SGTO may be easily configured to produce the desired level of peak current by adding or subtracting individual chips in the module. This year, the Army Research Laboratory will obtain the first 400-kA SGTOs, which is double the prior current carrying capability of previous single wafer thyristors. A more critical parameter will be an increase of di/dt on turn-on by an order of magnitude. Single wafer thyristors of large diameter have had di/dt measured in kA/us. The objective of the SGTO switch is in excess of 40 kA/us. This paper presents the first experimental data from a prototype device, rated at 80-kA peak current. Data from this round of evaluation will provide critical design data for the realization of switch modules of 400 kA and beyond.

Data were collected through observations, interviews, paper content analyses, and surveys in an urban military high school. The data reveal how the school's unique military subculture develops students by enabling them to accrue various forms of social capital, including military capital, and by developing cadets' civility, leadership skills and agency, discipline, and propensity for education. Therefore, the institutional product or academy graduate should possess enhanced life skills and increased chances to achieve upward mobility, making this school a potentially powerful educational institution for underprivileged urban-minority youth. Future research should explore how this school compares to other urban public schools, parochial schools, and private military schools and the life outcomes of the students from these different schools. The research has broad implications for the potential power of public military schools, especially in urban environs.

This study reports a systematic content analysis of forty-six films between 1935 and 2002 that spotlight children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults from military-service-related families. The results show a diverse range of portrayals across military branches, wars, genders, races, ages, military ranks, roles, and familial relationships. Furthermore. cinematic demands of military family life are portrayed inconsistently with real life experiences reinforcing a modest civil-military gap. Finally, six patterned characteristics emerge from the content analysis including intergenerational military occupational linkages, social deviance, precociousness, social mobility, youth romance, and parent-child conflicts. The present study partially confirms studies of civilian youth in film suggesting a diverse cinematic experience at the teenage stage of the life course. The results highlight a struggle in the negotiation between self-conceptions and self-images of children from military families where a reinforced stereotype of "military brat" is constructed in American cinema.

A principle reason is the difficulty in linking engineering models used to simulate physicochemical processes associated with project design or operation with biological models used to simulate biological population attributes. A retrospective shows that each modeling tradition can be generally assigned (with exceptions) into either an Eulerian or Lagrangian reference framework. Eulerian and Lagrangian reference frameworks can be coupled to create a new synthesis, the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Hybrid Ecological Modeling Concept (CEL Hybrid Concept), capable of simulating different ecosystem processes that range widely in spatial and temporal scale. The foundation of the CEL Hybrid Concept is the coupler, a collection of algorithms based on conservation principles that transform and conserve data in a way that allows the two frameworks to share a common information base. The coupling algorithm allows the simulation to aggregate, disaggregate, and translate information, as required by each framework, so that processes that differ substantially in scale can each be adequately simulated. The coupled system is illustrated by linking a fish swim path selection model with a hydrodynamic and water quality model.

The emphasis of this paper is on the overall performance of these models in coastal inlets. Both wave models are similar in that they employ a finite-difference method to solve the wave action conservation equation for the steady-state wave spectral transformation. However, these models differ in the computation of diffraction, reflection, wave breaking, and representation of the directional spectrum transformation. The models’ performance is compared with a new set of physical model data for four different idealized inlet configurations. Wave height is measured in the physical model by a linear array of capacitance wave gauges, and wave direction is measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system. The comparison with data is presented as mean absolute relative errors of wave height and mean absolute difference of wave direction. Both wave models produced similar results, but neither could accurately describe waves observed in the physical model in inlets and near structures. The mean absolute relative error of wave height prediction from models was between 22 and 40% as compared with the measured data. The mean absolute error of wave direction estimates ranged from 5 to 12 degrees. Overall, wave direction estimates from GHOST in inlets and near structures compared slightly better with measurements.

The three most important natural processes affecting the long-term settlement and thus service life of dredged material placement areas are primary consolidation, secondary compression, and desiccation. Nonlinear finite-strain consolidation theory is used to predict the settlement due to self-weight and surcharge-induced consolidation. The Cα/Cc concept is used to predict the settlement from secondary compression, and an empirical desiccation model is used to describe the settlement from removal of water from confined dredged material by surface drying. This paper describes the modifications and improvements of PSDDF that present new functions and enhanced numerical efficiency. A companion paper describes the input parameters of PSDDF.

The consolidation parameters of three cohesionless soils for sand capping and drainage and three compressible foundation materials are included to provide a PSDDF user with suitable parameters for these material types. To reduce the difficulty of obtaining the consolidation and desiccation parameters for dredged material, empirical correlations between the required parameters and soil index properties are presented.

It was found that the plasmas-exposed surface of these samples was covered with humps or bubble-like structures. When the samples were cryogenically split, the interior was found to contain numerous open cracks and voids; in a very few cases where the split actually went through a hump/bubble, cracks/voids were found immediately under the hump, suggesting a cause and effect relationship. The inside surfaces of the cracks and voids appeared in some cases to be either (a) smooth and undulating, or (b) about as would be expected if the two sides of the crack had been simply pulled apart; or (c) rough and/or debris-covered. In some type (c) cases they appeared to have been initially rough or debris-covered but to have been at least partially smoothed, possibly by processes involving heat, liquefaction and thermal decomposition. These observations seem consistent with an interpretation involving subsurface penetration of the propellant sample by visible and infrared radiation; this radiation then might cause cracks as a result of uneven expansion due to heating and/or internal gasification due to photochemical and/or thermal decomposition, particularly at sites of small patches of unplasticized nitrocellulose fibers. if these changes also included liquefaction or melting, with or without decomposition, this would also help to understand the smoothing process. In any case, these results suggest that interaction of plasma radiation with the sample is a significant effect. An end-exposed grain of standard, semitransparent JA2 was also examined; in this case the cracks were oriented differently; they extended from holes in the surface into the interior in a direction perpendicular to the surface and parallel to the direction of extrusion.

Measurements of mass lost by the sample, analysis of the infrared spectra of evolved gases, and optical microscopy have been used to characterize the response. In addition, the response for graphite-free JA2 conditioned to hot and cold temperatures has shown that the magnitude of the response for this material is stronger for hot samples. Overall, the samples show strong response when the light can penetrate farther into the samples; the response is limited to a thin layer at the surface for composite propellants.

Quantifying the energy deposited in the rails and implementing an effective thermal management system will be key elements of an effective design for a large-scale electromagnetic launcher. The total current was divided between the inside, upper/lower, and outside surface based on the results of a current distribution calculation. The diffusion of the magnetic field into each surface was modeled in order to determine the current distribution and the resistive heating. Cooling between shots was taken into account by solving the one dimensional transient heat diffusion equation within each surface. Repeating these calculations for a number of discrete segments down the length of the rail enabled the prediction of the total resistive rail heating and the temperature profile along the length of the rail. Experimental tests were conducted that verify the presence of localized heating in the corners of a U-shaped conductor made of 7075 Aluminum. Taking into account the localized resistive healing near the surface of the conductor will become increasingly important with large-scale guns.

Participants were 568 individuals classified as full-time undergraduate university students (n = 216 ) or full-time employees (n = 352 ). Of these, approximately 60% were males and 40% females. For students, the average age was 21.4 years and for workers 37.7 years. Results indicated that behaviors were perceived as more sexually harassing if the individual was a male, older, had higher position power, was low in success status, and unattractive. Males perceived females as significantly less harassing than other males for the same behaviors. Females perceived both males and females as equally harassing for the same behaviors.

Although scholarly attention has often focused on demographic factors (e.g., gender and race), sufficiently prevalent acquired characteristics may also help explain widespread individual differences on standardized tests. In particular, this article focuses on the role that posttraumatic stress symptoms (PSS) potentially play in standardized academic assessments. Using a military sample measured before and after exposure to war-zone stressors, the authors sought to explain test-taking ability differences with respect to symptoms of PTSD on two cognitive tasks that closely match standardized test constructs. The primary method for this analysis is based on an item response theory with covariates approach. Findings suggest that the effect for PSS is significant on both tasks, particularly for those who experience the highest levels of PSS following war-zone exposure. Findings provide potentially valuable information regarding the nature of the relationship between PSS and verbal and logical reasoning test performance.

Al Qaeda is stronger and more resilient than at any time since 2001 due to its ability to adapt, innovate, and reconfigure its resources in response to a hostile counterterrorism environment. This article presents a new framework for considering the war against al Qaeda. Policy makers must recognize that the current conflict is not a single conflict, but rather three conflicts: a war of action, a war of networks, and a war of ideas. Viewing al Qaeda in this manner will facilitate the integration of counterterrorism policy and strategy from the tactical to the strategic level. Furthermore, the failure to understand why al Qaeda has survived and prospered precludes the development and deployment of a cogent counterterrorism strategy.

Senior non-commissioned officers (NCOs) in the U.S. Army ( N=64) conducted panel interviews with 944 junior NCOs during a concurrent validation project. Analysis of the data revealed considerable variation in interviewer validity coefficients in relation to multiple performance criteria. Results also indicated the importance of adopting a multivariate perspective when evaluating interviewer validity differences in that the amount of variation in validity coefficients differed both by interview dimension and criterion. A similar pattern of findings emerged when analyses were performed on ratings averaged within interview panel. Nonetheless, when meta-analysis was used to estimate the amount of true variance in interviewer- and panel-level validity coefficients, most or all of the variance for some interview-criterion combinations appeared to be due to statistical artifacts.

JO - Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society (JAOCS) JF - Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society (JAOCS) Y1 - 2006/08// VL - 83 IS - 8 M3 - Abstract SP - 697 EP - 705 SN - 0003021X AB - Inhibition of pyrazine formation by natural antioxidants and the foods containing them was measured in a microwaved glucose/glycine model system. Inhibition of lipid oxidation by the same materials was assayed in both bulk and emulsion systems. Pyrazines were determined by solid-phase micro extraction followed by GC. Lipid oxidation volatiles were assayed by polyamide fluorescence produced by either a bulk oil display or a hematin- or 2,2′-azobis-(2-amidino-propane) dihydrochloride- accelerated lecithin or fish oil emulsion. It was shown that (i) the inhibition of pyrazine formation depends on high concentrations of water-soluble antioxidants; (ii) such antioxidants occur naturally in some foods and are usually polyphenols; (iii) during pyrazine inhibition, oxidized polyphenols show enhanced nonfluorescing browning similar to enzymic browning products; (iv) monophenols, which structurally cannot form quinone polymers on oxidation, inhibit pyrazines with less browning; (v) during the final pyrazine-forming phase of the Maillard reaction, polyphenolics and reducing agents such as glutathione and ascorbic acid are partially consumed with some nutritional loss; (vi) fruit powders of grape seed, grape skin, and red wine are highly pyrazineinhibitory, steeped blueberry strongly so, but plum purees are moderately pro-pyrazine, and freeze-dried vegetables strongly pro-pyrazine; and (vii) black and green tea infusions are highly inhibitory, whereas spices have mixed effects.

The initial state of the probe has a simpler analytical dependence on the set error rate to be induced by the probe than in the earlier design. The new device yields the same maximum information to the probe for a full range of induced error rates. As in the earlier design, the probe contains a single CNOT gate which produces the optimum entanglement between the BB84 signal states and the correlated probe states.

JO - International Regional Science Review JF - International Regional Science Review Y1 - 2006/07// VL - 29 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 311 EP - 335 AB - Missing data frustrate research and limit our understanding of regional economies. County Business Patterns annually provides employment data for all U.S. counties and states at the most detailed industrial level, but two out of every three employment statistics are missing. In rural areas, this percentage is higher still. To protect the rights of employers to confidentiality, the U.S. Census Bureau has not disclosed the number of employees in 1.5 million cases in the 2002 data. Instead, it offers a suppression flag that represents an employment range. This article presents a two-stage method for replacing all the flags with employment estimates. Taking advantage of the hierarchical nature of the data both by industry and geography, the first stage identifies the smallest possible range for each suppressed number Ensuring that employment adds up correctly up and down the industrial and geographical hierarchies, the second stage iteratively adjusts all the estimates until millions of constraints are met. The procedure simultaneously considers all industries in all counties, states, and the nation to produce a complete data set, which is available to the research community on the Internet.

If applied to ecotoxicology, genomics tools could greatly enhance the ability to understand the modes of toxicity in environmentally relevant organisms. Daphnia magna, a small aquatic crustacean, is considered a ‘keystone’ species in ecological food webs and is an indicator species for toxicant exposure. Our objective was to demonstrate the potential utility of gene expression profiling in ecotoxicology by identifying novel biomarkers and uncovering potential modes of action in D. magna. Using a custom O. magna cDNA microarray, we identified distinct expression profiles in response to sublethal copper, cadmium, and zinc exposures and discovered specific biomarkers of exposure including two probable metallothioneins, and a ferritin mRNA with a functional IRE. The gene expression patterns support known mechanisms of metal toxicity and reveal novel modes of action including zinc inhibition of chitinase activity. By integrating gene expression profiling into an environmentally important organism, this study provides experimental support for the utility of ecotoxicogenomics.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2007/02//2/1/2007 VL - 41 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 928 EP - 935 SN - 0013936X AB - The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) developed Method 9 to describe how plume opacity can be quantified by humans. However, use of observations by humans introduces subjectivity, and is expensive due to semiannual certification requirements of the observers. The Digital Opacity Method (DOM) was developed to quantify plume opacity at lower cost, with improved objectivity, and to provide a digital record. Photographs of plumes were taken with a calibrated digital camera under specified conditions. Pixel values from those photographs were then interpreted to quantify the plume's opacity using a contrast model and a transmission model. The contrast model determines plume opacity based on pixel values that are related to the change in contrast between two backgrounds that are located behind and next to the plume. The transmission model determines the plume's opacity based on pixel values that are related to radiances from the plume and its background. D0M was field tested with a smoke generator. The individual and average opacity errors of DOM were within the USEPA Method 9 acceptable error limits for both field campaigns. Such results are encouraging and support the use of DOM as an alternative to Method 9.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2006/12/15/ VL - 40 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 7521 EP - 7527 SN - 0013936X AB - The detailed physical characteristics of the subarctic snowpack must be known to quantify the exchange of adsorbed pollutants between the atmosphere and the snow cover. For the first time, the combined evolutions of specific surface area (SSA), snow stratigraphy,temperature, and density were monitored throughout winter in central Alaska. We define the snow area index (SAl) as the vertically integrated surface area of snow crystals, and this variable is used to quantify pollutants' adsorption. Intense metamorphism generated by strong temperature gradients formed a thick depth hoar layer with low SSA (90 cm² g-1) and density (200 kg m-3), resulting in a low SAl. After snowpack buildup in autumn, the winter SAl remained around 1000 m²/m² of ground, much lower than the SAl of the Arctic snowpack, 2500 m² m². With the example of PCBs 28 and 180, we calculate that the subarctic snowpack is a smaller reservoir of adsorbed pollutants than the Arctic snowpack and less efficiently transfers adsorbed pollutants from the atmosphere to ecosystems. The difference is greater for the more volatile PCB 28. With climate change, snowpack structure will be modified, and the snowpack's ability to transfer adsorbed pollutants from the atmosphere to ecosystems may be reduced, especially for the more volatile pollutants.

Multi-stage sampling with clustering was used to select 168 child care centers in 30 primary sampling units in the United States. Centers were recruited into the study by telephone interviewers. Samples for pesticides, lead, and allergens were collected at multiple locations in each center by field technicians. Field sampling was conducted from July through October 2001. Wipe samples from indoor surfaces (floors, tabletops, desks) and soil samples were collected at the centers and analyzed using a multi-residue GC/MS analysis method. Based on the questionnaire responses, pyrethroids were the most commonly used pesticides among centers applying pesticides. Among the 63% of centers reporting pesticide applications, the number of pesticides used in each center ranged from 1 to 10 and the frequency of use ranged from 1 to 107 times annually. Numerous organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides were detected in the indoor floor wipe samples. Chlorpyrifos (0.004–28 ng/cm²), diazinon (0.002–18 ng/cm²), cis-permethrin (0.004–3 ng/cm²), and trans-permethrin (0.004–7 ng/cm²) were detected in >67% of the centers. Associations exist between residues measured on the floor and other surfaces for several pesticides (p-values range from <0.0001 to 0.002), but to a lesser degree between floor and soil and other surfaces and soil. Regional analyses indicate no differences in mean level of pesticide loading between the four Census regions (0.08 < p < 0.88). Results show that there is the potential for exposure to pesticides in child care centers.

Using security exercises to reinforce this aspect is frequently done by education and industry alike; however these exercises usually enlist willing participants. We have taken the concept of using an exercise and modified it in application to evaluate a users propensity to respond to email phishing attacks in an unannounced test. This paper describes the considerations in establishing and the process used to create and implement an evaluation of one aspect of our user information assurance education program. The evaluation takes the form of a exercise, where we send out a phishing styled email record the responses.

It draws on focus groups undertaken with servicemen and servicewomen in the U.S. Army and their experiences as users with issue clothing and equipment. The article considers the ways in which broader macroconsumption experiences affect soldiers' quality of life and highlights the extent to which individual well-being is highly regulated by the institution and the collective interests. It illustrates the limited sovereignty of the soldier and argues for a more inclusive and cooperative policy to clothing and equipping soldiers as a means of improving their well-being.

Service quality differences amongst modes and link economies may result in railroad pricing which can exclude barge movements in the connected markets. A sample of agricultural railroad movements is used to compare rates on traffic between markets where there is, and is not, a potential for such pricing behaviour. The results strongly support the hypothesis that vertical exclusion pricing exists and varies across commodities with effects ranging from 6 to 24 per cent.

Therefore, it is important to use a reliable instrument to measure information service quality. SERVQUAL is a popular instrument for doing this, but, though widely used, it has been criticized for its reliability and validity. Use of the performance measures from SERVQUAL to form SERVPERF has addressed some of these issues. However, Magal''s instrument on information center success was found effective within a service context because of its service orientation. In our study, we therefore compared Magal''s instrument with the SERVPERF instrument in predicting satisfaction and usefulness; we found that Magal''s instrument had predictive advantages in determining future usefulness and satisfaction. An important result was to show that our results supported the use of Magal''s instrument as an alternative to SERVQUAL for researchers and managers interested in service quality assessment.

Study 1 used a student sample simulating application for a fictitious management intern job with a state personnel agency (N = 117) and employed a longitudinal, laboratory-based design. Study 2 employed a field sample of actual applicants (N = 396) applying for jobs online. As predicted, procedural justice mediated the relationship between personal information privacy concerns and test-taking motivation, organizational attraction, and organizational intentions in the laboratory and field. Experience with computers moderated the relationship between procedural justice with test-taking motivation and organizational intentions in the field but not in the laboratory sample. Implications are discussed in terms of the importance of considering applicants' personal information privacy concerns and testing experience when designing online recruitment and selection systems.

We argue that it is because of globalization that sudden contact is unlikely to occur in present-day interactions. We propose a refined definition of ‘sudden contact’, which finds its base in a more fluid conception of culture, and suggest that ‘sudden contact’ is most likely to occur at the personal level of meaning making. In light of our refined definition we argue that declines in diversity at least in number, do not exist. Rather, we assert that while certain cultural ascriptions might be eliminated, new forms emerge to take their place, which not only serve the same culturally relevant function, but also allow for the retention of group diversity.

Each trial consisted of a 75-min dehydration phase (36[degrees]C; 42.5% rh, 47 +/- 0.9% V[spacing dot above]O2max) where subjects lost 1.7 L (IV and no-fluid (NF) trials) to 1.8 L of fluid (ORAL trial). In the heat, fluid lost was matched with 0.45% saline in 20 min by either IV or ORAL rehydration; no fluid was given in the NF trial. Subjects then performed a heat-tolerance test (HTT; 37.0[degrees]C, 45% rh, treadmill speed of 2.4 m[middle dot]s-1, 2.3% grade) for 75 min or until exhaustion (Tre of 39.5[degrees]C). During the HTT, thermal and thirst sensations, RPE, rectal temperature (Tre), heart rate (HR), and mean weighted skin temperature (Tsk) were measured.Results: Plasma volume in the IV treatment was greater (P < 0.05) after rehydration compared with ORAL and NF. However, during the HTT there were no overall differences (P > 0.05) in HR, Tre, Tsk, RPE, thermal sensations, or HTT time (ORAL, 71 +/- 8 min; IV, 73 +/- 5 min; NF, 39 +/- 29 min) between the ORAL and IV treatments. Sensations of thirst were lower (P < 0.05) in ORAL compared with IV and NF, likely because of oropharyngeal stimuli.Conclusions: Despite a more rapid restoration of plasma volume, IV rehydration was not advantageous over ORAL rehydration in regards to physiological strain, heat tolerance, RPE, or thermal sensations.

PCs are used by the U.S. military to estimate field medical resources needed in combat operations. Information associated with each of the 389 PCs is based on subject matter expert opinion, instead of direct derivation from standard medical codes. Currently, no mechanisms exist to tie current or historical medical data to PCs. Our study objective was to determine whether reliable conversion between PC codes and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes is possible. Methods: Data were analyzed for three professional coders assigning all applicable ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to each PC code. Inter-rater reliability was measured by using Cohen's [kappa] statistic and percent agreement. Methods were developed to calculate [kappa] statistics when multiple responses could be selected from many possible categories. Results: Overall, we found moderate support for the possibility of reliable conversion between PCs and ICD-9-CM diagnoses (mean [kappa] = 0.61). Conclusion: Current PCs should be modified into a system that is verifiable with real data.

Soldiers from a brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division were involved in a 5-week training exercise at the National Training Center. Health care visits were systematically recorded by the unit medics. Of 4,101 men and 413 women who participated in the exercise, 504 soldiers (409 men and 95 women} sought medical care at the main support medical clinic or Weed Army Community Hospital. The rates of injury and illness visits were 1.2% and 0.6% per week for men and 2.3% and 2.2% per week for women, respectively. Women had twice the risk of an injury and 3.5 times the risk of an illness, compared with men. Compared with other branches, combat service support soldiers had higher rates of injuries and illnesses. Enlisted soldiers of lower rank (E1-E4) experienced higher injury and illness rates than did noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers. Musculoskeletal injuries, environmental conditions, and dermatological conditions accounted for most visits.

In this investigation, we used graded central hypovolemia in adult volunteer subjects to test the hypothesis that moderate reductions in central blood volume increases R-wave amplitude in lead II of an ECG. METHODS: A four-lead ECG tracing, heart rate (HR), estimated stroke volume (SV), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure were measured during baseline supine rest and during progressive reductions of central blood volume to an estimated volume loss of >1,000 mL with application of lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) in 13 healthy human volunteer subjects. RESULTS: Lower-body negative pressure resulted in a significant progressive reduction in central blood volume, as indicated by a maximal decrease of 65% in SV and maximal elevation of 56% in HR from baseline to -60 mm Hg LBNP. R-wave amplitude increased (p < 0.0001) linearly with progressive LBNP. The amalgamated correlation (R2) between average stroke volume and average R-wave amplitude at each LBNP stage was -0.989. CONCLUSIONS: These results support our hypothesis that reduction of central blood volume in human beings is associated with increased R-wave amplitude in lead II of an ECG.

We examined the nature and variability of rankings of 'conditions' based on how they are defined and how their population health impacts are measured. The first listed diagnosis from all hospitalizations and ambulatory visits of U.S. service members during 2002 was used to rank conditions (as defined by two standard classification systems) using five different measures of population health impacts. Less than 10% of all conditions accounted for more than one-half of total population health impact, regardless of how conditions were defined or impacts measured. However, specific conditions with the largest impacts varied depending on the classification system and impact measure. Four groups of related conditions-- acute musculoskeletal injuries, pregnancy-related conditions, respiratory infections, and mental disorders (including substance abuse)-- accounted for disproportionately large impacts regardless of the measure. The identification of conditions with the largest population health impacts depends on the nature and degree of aggregation in defining conditions and the measure of impact. The findings are relevant to prevention planning and resourcing.

Although respiratory disease control is improved, epidemics continue to occur, and respiratory disease in military trainees continues to exceed that in U.S. civilian adults. Overall, Department of Defense utilization of the trivalent inactivated vaccine was much lower than anticipated during the 2004-2005 season. The slow start to the 2004-2005 influenza season resulted in a low demand for influenza immunization by the medically high-risk beneficiary population of the Department of Defense. Surveillance for influenza during the 2004-2005 season in U.S. Army Europe reached unprecedented heights, testing and confirming more cases than in any previous year.

However, because malaria may be transported out of endemic areas and into areas that are free of malaria, the threat does not end with redeployment. Since the Korean Conflict, outbreaks of imported malaria have followed every major deployment of U.S. military forces to malaria endemic areas. By examining unique aspects of these outbreaks through the years, many similarities can be drawn. Repeated observations demonstrate that preventive efforts are only effective at reducing the impact of imported malaria when commanders are informed about the risks of malaria. Commanders must also understand the preventive resources that are available while deployed, and the potential for morbidity and mortality from malaria.

The U.S. Army Burn Flight Team and U.S. Air Force Critical Care Air Transport Teams conducted a joint aeromedical mission in response to this disaster. This experience was reviewed from the Burn Flight Team perspective. A record of events was made during the mission, and an after-action review was conducted after the mission. Twelve patients were transported to Korea, and four critically ill patients were transported to the U.S. Army Burn Center in San Antonio, TX. The latter mission required 21 hours of in-flight critical care and was completed 4 days and 3 hours after the crash. After-action review resulted in changes in communications procedures, administrative oversight, supplies and equipment, composition of the Burn Flight Team, and readiness and training. These peacetime lessons contributed to the military's ability to transport wartime burn casualties in ensuing years and indicate the close interdependence of the disaster response and combat missions.

There is little actual experience in the United States in managing disasters of this magnitude. As an alternative, lessons may be learned from the historical experiences of previous civilian burn or fire disasters occurring in this country. A review of relevant medical, fire service, and popular literature pertaining to civilian burn or fire disasters occurring in the United States between the years 1900 and 2000 was performed. In the 20th century, 73 major U.S. fire or burn disasters have occurred. With each disaster prompting a strengthening of fire regulations or building codes, the number of fatalities per incident has steadily decreased. Detailed examination of several landmark fires demonstrated that casualty counts were great but that most victims had fatal injuries and died on the scene or within 24 hours. A second large cohort comprised the walking wounded, who required minimal outpatient treatment. Patients requiring inpatient burn care comprise a small percentage of the total casualty figure but consume enormous resources during hospitalization. Burn mass casualty incidents are uncommon. The number of casualties per incident decreased over time. In most fire disasters, the majority of victims either rapidly die or have minimal injuries and can be treated and released. As a result, most disasters produce fewer than 25 to 50 patients requiring inpatient burn care. This would be a rational point to begin burn center preparations for mass casualty incidents. A robust outpatient capability to manage the walking wounded is also desirable. SN - 1559-047X AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Fort Sam Houston, Texas 78234, USA. U2 - PMID: 16998394.

The capabilities and preferences of burn centers in the Southern Region were queried. A website with disaster information, including a map of regional burn centers and spreadsheet of driving distances between centers, was developed. Standard terminology for burn center capabilities during disasters was defined as open, full, diverting, offloading, or returning. A simple, scalable, and flexible disaster plan was designed. Activation and escalation of the plan revolves around the requirements of the end user, the individual burn center director. A key provision is the designation of a central communications point colocated at a burn center with several experienced burn surgeons. In a burn disaster, the burn center director can make a single phone call to the communications center, where a senior burn surgeon remote from the disaster can contact other burn centers and emergency agencies to arrange assistance. Available options include diversion of new admissions to the next closest center, transfer of patients to other regional centers, or facilitation of activation of federal plans to bring burn care providers to the affected burn center. Cooperation between regional burn center directors has produced a simple and flexible regional disaster plan at minimal cost to institute or operate.

In a previous pilot study, we reported that arterial pulse pressure and estimated sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in trauma patients who died of hemorrhagic injuries was significantly lower than that observed in patients who did not die. For the current study, we measured mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), pulse pressure (PP), SV, and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in human subjects during progressive lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to test the hypothesis that a reduction in PP tracks the reduction of SV and change in MSNA during graded central hypovolemia in humans. METHODS:: After a 12-minute baseline data collection period, 13 men were exposed to LBNP at -15 mm Hg for 12 minutes followed by continuous stepwise increments to -30, -45, and -60 mm Hg for 12 minutes each. RESULTS:: Comparing baseline to -60 mm Hg chamber decompression, systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased (from 129 +/- 3.0 to 111 +/- 6.1 mm Hg; p = 0.005) and diastolic pressure was unchanged (78 +/- 3.0 versus 81 +/- 4.0 mm Hg; p = 0.55). Pulse pressure decreased (from 50 +/- 2.5 to 29 +/- 4.0 mm Hg; p = 0.0001). LBNP caused linear reductions in PP and SV (from 125 +/- 9.2 to 47 +/- 6.4; r = 0.99), and increases in MSNA (from 14 +/- 3.5 to 36 +/- 4.6 bursts/min; r = 0.96) without a significant change in MAP (r = 0.28). PP was inversely correlated with MSNA (r = 0.88) and positively correlated with SV (r = 0.91). CONCLUSIONS:: Reduced PP resulting from progressive central hypovolemia is a marker of reductions in SV and elevations in SNA. Therefore, when SBP is >90 mm Hg, PP may allow for early, noninvasive identification of volume loss because of hemorrhage and more accurate and timely triage.

A 5-wk period without supplementation separated treatments. Each test day, subjects performed two bouts (separated by 2 min) at their preset submaximal force, 32 +/- 4% rested MVC).Results: Rested MVC force (860 +/- 66 N) and MVC force at exhaustion (396 +/- 27 N; 47 +/- 3% rested MVC) did not differ among treatments or environments (P > 0.05). For bout 1, endurance time was shorter in hypobaria (26 +/- 3 min) than normoxia (34 +/- 2 min) (P < 0.01), but did not differ between Cr (27 +/- 3 min) and Pla (33 +/- 3 min) (P > 0.05). MVC force returned to similar levels (P >0.05) in bout 2 after recovery in all four sessions (to approximately 615 N). For bout 2, endurance time also was shorter in hypobaria (7 +/- 1 min) than normoxia (9 +/- 1 min) (P < 0.03) but did not differ between Cr and Pla (P > 0.05).Conclusion: This study, which used an exercise model designed to impose the same target contraction force under all experimental conditions, found no effect of Cr on maximal force, muscle endurance, or recovery in normoxia or hypobaric hypoxia.

AB - The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a dynamic warm up (DWU) with a static-stretching warm up (SWU) on selected measures of power and agility. Thirty cadets at the United States Military Academy completed the study (14 women and 16 men, ages 18-24 years). On 3 consecutive days, subjects performed 1 of the 2 warm up routines (DWU or SWU) or performed no warm up (NWU). The 3 warm up protocols lasted 10 minutes each and were counterbalanced to avoid carryover effects. After 1-2 minutes of recovery, subjects performed 3 tests of power or agility. The order of the performance tests (T-shuttle run, underhand medicine ball throw for distance, and 5-step jump) also was counterbalanced. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed better performance scores after the DWU for all 3 performance tests (p < 0.01), relative to the SWU and NWU. There were no significant differences between the SWU and NWU for the medicine ball throw and the T-shuttle run, but the SWU was associated with better scores on the 5-step jump (p < 0.01). Because the results of this study indicate a relative performance enhancement with the DWU, the utility of warm up routines that use static stretching as a stand-alone activity should be reassessed.

Recent revisions to Department of Defense (DoD) policies require changes to the AWCP. Specifically, we assessed the effects of increasing weight-for-height allowances and adoption of the DoD body fat equation on compliance with the AWCP in women. METHODS: Weight, height, circumferences (neck, forearm, wrist, waist, and hip) to measure body fat, and Army Physical Fitness Test results were obtained from 909 female soldiers (mean (SD) age, 26.2 (6.5) years; body mass index, 24.6 (3.3) kg/m2; body fat, 29.7% (5.0)). RESULTS: Increasing the screening weight-for-height allowances resulted in a 20% reduction in those requiring a body fat measurement (from 55% [n = 498) to 35% [n = 319]). Adopting the DoD body fat equation did not change the proportion of overfat women, i.e., noncompliant with the AWCP, (from 26% [n = 232] to 27% [n = 246]). More women with a waist circumference > 35 inches (i.e., at increased disease risk) were identified as noncompliant with the AWCP by the proposed body fat equation (from 76% [n = 61] to 96% [n = 77]). CONCLUSIONS: Proposed changes reduce the proportion of women unnecessarily measured for body fat and do not change the proportion of women on the AWCP, yet select more women at increased disease risk and most in need of an effective intervention.

METHODS: Eight active males completed two passive heat exposure trials (180 min, 45 degrees C, 50% rh) with (EUH) and without (HYP) fluid replacement. A single 15-s Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) was used to assess anaerobic performance (peak power, mean power, and fatigue index) before (-180 min) and again at three time points after passive heat exposure to include immediately (0 min), 30 min, and 60 min after in a temperate environment (22 degrees C). Rectal temperature (T[c]) was measured throughout the experiment. RESULTS: HYP reduced body mass (2.7+/-0.7%) (P<0.05) but had no effect on any WAnT performance measure. Passive heat exposure elicited moderate hyperthermia in both trials (EUH: 0.6 degrees C; HYP: 1.0 degrees C) and returned to baseline within 30-60 min following similar decay curves. HYP Tc remained higher (0.4 degrees C) than EUH throughout testing (P<0.05), but moderate hyperthermia itself produced no independent effect on anaerobic exercise performance in either trial. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that neither moderate HYP nor the moderate hyperthermia accompanying HYP by passive heat exposure affect anaerobic exercise performance in a temperate environment.

METHODS: A total of 1,100 cadets were screened for LLIs; 126 of 1,100 were identified to have a LLI of > 0.5 cm and were assigned a matched control cadet. Injury rates, numbers of visits to sick call, and numbers of days spent on medical excusal during a 1-year period were then compared for the 252 cadets. RESULTS: There was no difference in prevalence of injury between the groups and no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the groups in injury rates, visits to sick call, or number of days spent on medical excusal. CONCLUSIONS: These findings do not support any increased incidence of injuries in a young, healthy, athletic, military population with mild LLIs, compared with matched control subjects without LLIs, over 1 year.

Other variables, measured during resuscitation, may provide additional information about injury severity. We assessed the utility of early arterial blood gas (ABG) data in predicting mortality after burn injury. Data were limited to samples obtained during the first 2 days after burn injury and to those obtained during high-frequency percussive ventilation. Mean values for each patient's ABG data were calculated; subsequent analysis used these derived variables. Logistic regression analysis (LRA) was used to generate a mortality predictor using burn, age (as a cubic age score, AGE), and INHAL. LRA was then repeated with the ABG variables. A total of 162 patients were included. By univariate analysis, death was associated with increased alveolar-arterial gradient (AaDO2), AGE, % burn, full-thickness burn size, INHAL, and with decreased pH and base excess. LRA of % burn, AGE, INHAL, and full-thickness burn size retained the first three variables. The addition of ABG data demonstrated that mean burn excess and mean AaDO2 also contributed independently to mortality. However, there was no difference in accuracy (86%) between the two equations. By Kaplan Meier analysis, AaDO2 but not BE predicted earlier death in those who died. Measured during resuscitation, metabolic acidosis (ie, a base deficit) and oxygenation failure (ie, increased AaDO2) contributed independently, but modestly, to ultimate mortality after burn injury. The inclusion of these variables did not improve predictive accuracy. Whether therapies targeted at these endpoints would improve outcome is unknown.

Men and women completed the same physical tasks. PURPOSE: To characterize and compare the total energy expenditure (TEE) and core temperature responses in men and women working almost continuously for 2.25 d in an outdoor environment while developing a substantial energy deficit. METHODS: TEE was measured using doubly labeled water (D(2)O(18)). Energy intake was estimated using beverage diaries and collecting ration wrappers saved by each volunteer and adding the known caloric value of each food item consumed. Core temperature was measured using an ingested thermometer pill. Physical activity level (PAL) was calculated by dividing TEE by the calculated basal metabolic rate. RESULTS: TEE was higher (P < 0.001) for the men (25.7 MJ x d(-1)) than women (19.8 MJ x d(-1)), but there were no differences between men and women in TEE normalized to body mass (men, 0.35 +/- 0.05 MJ x d(-1) x kg(-1); women, 0.34 +/- 0.06 MJ x d(-) x kg(-1)), corrected body mass (men, 0.29 +/- 0.04 MJ x d(-1) x kg(-1) corrected body mass; women, 0.27 +/- 0.04 MJ x d(-1) x kg(-1) corrected body mass), fat-free mass (men, 0.41 +/- 0.07 MJ x d(-1) x kg(-1) FFM; women, 0.46 +/- 0.07 MJ x d(-1) x kg(-1) FFM), or corrected fat-free mass (men, 0.30 +/- 0.05 MJ x d(-1) x kg corrected body mass; women, 0.30 +/- 0.04 0.30 +/- 0.05 MJ x d(-1) x kg(-1) corrected body mass). PAL was the same for men (3.4 +/- 0.5) and women (3.3 +/- 0.4). Energy intakes were higher (P < 0.05) in men (6.0 +/- 2.0 MJ x d(-1)) than women (4.8 +/- 1.8 MJ x d(-1)). The average minimum core temperature was 36.0 +/- 0.4 degrees C, and the mean maximum core temperature was 38.5 +/- 0.3 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: For both men and women, total energy expenditures were among the highest observed for a military FEX. TEE, when normalized or corrected to body mass and fat-free mass, and PAL were the same for men and women.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and pegylated G-CSF (peg-G-CSF) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as hematopoietic growth factors to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of G-CSF and peg-G-CSF in ameliorating HD-induced neutropenia. African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) were challenged with HD and, at 1, 3, 5, or 7 days after exposure, G-CSF therapy (10 microg/kg per day for 21 days) was initiated. Peg-G-CSF (300 microg/kg, single treatment) was similarly tested, with treatment given at 3 days after exposure. Untreated HD-exposed animals recovered from neutropenia 28 days after exposure, whereas G-CSF- or peg-G-CSF-treated animals recovered 8 to 19 days after exposure (p < 0.05). These results indicate that G-CSF or peg-G-CSF may provide Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments that will reduce the duration of HD-induced neutropenia.

AB - Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a ubiquitous hormone that is secreted in both an endocrine and an autocrine/paracrine manner. IGF-I has conventionally been measured in serum; however, transdermal body fluid (TDF) remains as an unexplored biocompartment in which IGF-I also resides and may be more biologically relevant because of its proximity to tissues and cells. The purpose of this study was to compare IGF-I in serum versus IGF-I in TDF before and after 8 weeks of physical training. Twenty-eight healthy men (28 +/- 5 years old, 176 +/- 8 cm tall, weighing 83 +/- 11 kg) had TDF obtained by a novel, minimally invasive method that included the application of continuous vacuum pressure on forearm skin perforated with tiny micropores created by a focused beam from a laser system and also had blood obtained by venipuncture. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measured total IGF-I concentrations. A repeated-measures analysis of variance (biocompartment x time) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficients (P 30years). Results: Service members demonstrated DF of 34.2 + 6.1°, FMS composite score of 16.2 + 2.2, YBT-LQ normalized composite score of 96.9 + 8.6%, YBT-UQ normalized composite score of 87.6 ± 9.6%, SLVJ of 26.9 ± 8.6 cm, 6-m hop of 2.4 ± 0.5 seconds, and a triple hop of 390.9 ± 110.8 cm. Men performed greater than women (p < 0.05) on the YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, SLVJ, 6-m timed, and triple hop. Those <30 years of age performed better than older participants (p < 0.05) on the DF, FMS, YBT-LQ, SLVJ, 6-m hop, and triple hop. Conclusions: Findings provide normative data on military members. Men performed better on power, balance, and trunk stability tests, whereas younger individuals performed better on power, balance, mobility, and functional movement.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of omega-3 FAs (eicosapentaenoic + docosahexaenoic; Harris-Schacky [HS]-Omega-3 Index) on neuropsychological functioning among U.S. Soldiers deployed to Iraq. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included Soldiers between the ages of 18 and 55 years who were randomly assigned to either the active treatment group (n = 44) or placebo group (n = 34). Active treatment was 2.5 g per day of eicosapentaenoic + docosahexaenoic (Lovaza; GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina). The placebo was corn oil ethyl esters. HS-Omega-3 Index, a neurocognitive battery (Central Nervous System-Vital Signs, Morrisville, North Carolina), and psychological health scales were assessed at baseline and after 60 days of treatment. Although the results revealed that omega-3 FAs significantly increased the HS-Omega-3 Index (p = 0.001), there were no significant effects on indices psychological health and neurocognitive functioning by treatment group. Nevertheless, there was a significant inverse correlation between the changes in the HS-Omega-3 Index and daytime sleepiness (r = 0.30, p = 0.009). Short-term treatment with 2.5 g of omega-3 FAs did not alter measures of neurocognition or psychological health, but there was evidence of a relationship between omega-3 levels and daytime sleepiness.

The objective is for military medical planners to use this decision-support tool (1) to improve real-time situational awareness by visualization of MEDEVAC coverage, showing which areas can be reached within established timelines; (2) to support medical planning by visualizing the impact of changes in the medical footprint to the MEDEVAC coverage; and (3) to support decision-making by providing a time-sorted list of MEDEVAC asset packages to select from, given the location of the patients. This same geospatial-based decision tool can be used for proper emplacement of evacuation assets such that the theater is covered within a truly representative I -hour response time. We conclude with a discussion of applicability of this tool in medical force structure planning.

JO - Annals of Family Medicine JF - Annals of Family Medicine Y1 - 2014/07//Jul/Aug2014 VL - 12 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 310 EP - 316 PB - Annals of Family Medicine SN - 15441709 AB - PURPOSE More youth are killed every year in the United States in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crashes than on bicycles, and since 2001, one-fifth of all ATV fatalities have involved victims aged 15 years or younger. Effectively preventing pediatric ATV-related deaths and injuries requires knowledge about youth riding practices. Our objective was to examine ATV use, crash prevalence, and riding behaviors among adolescent students in a rural state. METHODS We administered a cross-sectional survey to 4,684 youths aged 11 to 16 years at 30 schools across Iowa from November 2010 to April 2013. Descriptive and comparative analyses were performed. RESULTS Regardless of rurality, at least 75% of students reported having been on an ATV, with 38% of those riding daily or weekly. Among ATV riders, 57% had been in a crash. Most riders engaged in risky behaviors, including riding with passengers (92%), on public roads (81%), or without a helmet (64%). Almost 60% reported engaging in all 3 behaviors; only 2% engaged in none. Multivariable modeling revealed male youth, students riding daily/weekly, and those reporting both riding on public roads and with passengers were 1.61 (95% CI, 1.36-1.91), 3.73 (95% CI, 3.10-4.50), and 3.24 (95% CI, 2.09-5.04) times more likely to report a crash, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Three-fourths of youths surveyed were exposed to ATVs. The majority of riders had engaged in unsafe behaviors and experienced a crash. Given this widespread use and the potentially considerable morbidity of pediatric ATV crashes, prevention efforts, including anticipatory guidance by primary care clinicians serving families at risk, should be a higher priority.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - To-date, there has been no international review of mental health resilience training during Basic Training nor an assessment of what service members perceive as useful from their perspective. In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group 'Mental Health Training' initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations.

AB - This study examined the protective effects of hardiness (dispositional resilience) on self-reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a sample of postdeployed service members. Hardiness was negatively related to PTSD symptoms. Time in the military, number of deployments, and total time spent on deployment were all positively related to PTSD symptoms. Hardiness moderated the effects of time in the military on PTSD symptoms, such that time in the military had no effect on those who were high in hardiness. Hardiness did not moderate the effects of either deployment measure. Suggestions to modify current military resilience training programs to most effectively enhance the benefits of hardiness are discussed.

AB - Aim: This article presents a discussion of development of a mid-range theory of risk perception. Background: Unhealthy behaviours contribute to the development of health inequalities worldwide. The link between perceived risk and successful health behaviour change is inconclusive, particularly in vulnerable populations. This may be attributed to inattention to culture. Data sources: The synthesis strategy of theory building guided the process using three methods: (1) a systematic review of literature published between 2000–2011 targeting perceived risk in vulnerable populations; (2) qualitative and (3) quantitative data from a study of Samoan Pacific Islanders at high risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Discussion: Main concepts of this theory include risk attention, appraisal processes, cognition, and affect. Overarching these concepts is health-world view: cultural ways of knowing, beliefs, values, images, and ideas. This theory proposes the following: (1) risk attention varies based on knowledge of the health risk in the context of health-world views; (2) risk appraisals are influenced by affect, health-world views, cultural customs, and protocols that intersect with the health risk; (3) strength of cultural beliefs, values, and images (cultural identity) mediate risk attention and risk appraisal influencing the likelihood that persons will engage in health-promoting behaviours that may contradict cultural customs/protocols. Implications: Interventions guided by a culturally sensitive mid-range theory may improve behaviour-related health inequalities in vulnerable populations. Conclusions: The synthesis strategy is an intensive process for developing a culturally sensitive mid-range theory. Testing of the theory will ascertain its usefulness for reducing health inequalities in vulnerable groups.

One goal of the workshop was to establish a roadmap to building an evidence base on that would indicate whether acupuncture is helpful for treating active-duty military personnel experiencing acute pain. The workshop highlighted brief presentations on the most current research on acupuncture and acute pain mechanisms. The impact of various modifiers (stress, genetics, population, phenotypes, etc.) on acute pain pathways and response to acupuncture treatment was discussed. Additional presentations focused on common neural mechanisms, an overview of real-world experience with using acupuncture to treat traumatic acute pain, and best tools and methods specific for acupuncture studies. Three breakout groups addressed the gaps, opportunities, and barriers to acupuncture use for acute pain in military and trauma settings. Different models of effectiveness research and optimal research designs for conducting trials in acute traumatic pain were also discussed.

AB - Recent natural and man-made catastrophes, such as the Fukushima nuclear power plant, flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Haiti earthquake, and the mortgage derivatives crisis, have renewed interest in the concept of resilience, especially as it relates to complex systems vulnerable to multiple or cascading failures. Although the meaning of resilience is contested in different contexts, in general resilience is understood to mean the capacity to adapt to changing conditions without catastrophic loss of form or function. In the context of engineering systems, this has sometimes been interpreted as the probability that system conditions might exceed an irrevocable tipping point. However, we argue that this approach improperly conflates resilience and risk perspectives by expressing resilience exclusively in risk terms. In contrast, we describe resilience as an emergent property of what an engineering system does, rather than a static property the system has. Therefore, resilience cannot be measured at the systems scale solely from examination of component parts. Instead, resilience is better understood as the outcome of a recursive process that includes: sensing, anticipation, learning, and adaptation. In this approach, resilience analysis can be understood as differentiable from, but complementary to, risk analysis, with important implications for the adaptive management of complex, coupled engineering systems. Management of the 2011 flooding in the Mississippi River Basin is discussed as an example of the successes and challenges of resilience-based management of complex natural systems that have been extensively altered by engineered structures.

The approach works in all other areas of mathematics. Browsing can help build new and refreshing teaching materials based on how mathematics is used and explored in places other than mathematics. These 'other' places are where almost all of our students will be going after they study with us and we should: (i) know about their journey and arrival points; and (ii) understand the disciplinary approaches for those areas which sent these students to us in the first place for their mathematics studies. We describe a personal browsing experience that spanned almost 40 years and proved to be very worthwhile in finding applications of differential equations to modeling Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in the human body.

AB - We present a multiattribute model called WholeSoldier Performance that measures the performance of junior enlisted soldiers in the U.S. Army; currently there is no formal performance appraisal system in place. The application is unique to decision analysis in that we utilize a common constructed scale and single dimensional value function for all attributes' to match the natural framework of model users and based on operability concerns. Additionally, we discuss model validation in both the terms of decision analysis and psychometrics in models that are used for repeated or routine assessments and thus generate significant quantities of data. We highlight visualization of data for use to support mentoring and personnel decisions to better train, assign, retain, promote, and separate current personnel. Last, we address common cultural concerns related to performance appraisals in organizations by offering a method to standardize ratings and hold raters accountable for their responsibility to mentor subordinates as well as identify their performance to the larger organization.

Seefried (2011). surpasses what many qualitative methodological studies representing a disenfranchised group aspire to do give a voice to our subjects. The author has assembled 47 outstandingly brief, sweet, personal, rich, raw, and unanalyzed anecdotes by current and former members of the U.S. military. The tales are from mostly gay, lesbian, or bisexually orientated folks. Their experiences are written in the window between the signing of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the official ending. The volume also provides background on military subculture. Historically, both racial minorities and women have fought for full citizenship rights through military service. Both women and racial minorities carry their minority status into every context. This book stimulates a rich discussion in military social and behavioral sciences courses such as sociology, psychology, leadership, management, and public policy, as well as history courses dealing with social inequality and would work best in sexuality or queer studies courses as well as those covering diversity.

AB - We examined morale as a moderator of the relationship between combat exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a longitudinal study of U.S. soldiers who had participated in a deployment to Iraq. Soldiers (N = 636) completed assessments at 4 (Time 1) and 10 (Time 2) months following their combat deployment. Combat exposure (both breadth and perceived stressfulness), morale, and PTSD symptoms were assessed at Time 1, and PTSD symptoms were assessed again at Time 2. Results of multivariate multiple regressions revealed that morale at Time 1 interacted with both the breadth and stressfulness of combat exposure to predict PTSD symptoms at both Time 1 and Time 2, even when partialling out the effect of unit support. The slope of the given combat exposure and PTSD symptoms relationship was weaker when reports of morale were higher (with the effect size of the interaction ranging from .01 to .04). The results suggest that morale may buffer soldiers from the negative consequences of combat stressors.

AB - Introduction: The purpose of this research is to describe the leading circumstances of military vehicle crashes to guide prioritization and implementation of crash avoidance and/or warning technologies. Methods: A descriptive study using narrative text analysis on 3,944 military vehicle crash narratives. Crash data on drivers, from 2001 to 2006, were assembled from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center. Reviewers collected information on the circumstances of crashes and determined if vehicle technology could have prevented the crash. Results: Nearly 98% of the crashes were nonfatal; 63% occurred in the U.S. and 24% in Iraq. Among crash events where the direction of the impact was recorded, 32% were to the front of the vehicle and 16% involved a vehicle being rear-ended. Rollovers were mentioned in 20% of the narratives. Technology was determined to have the potential to prevent 26% of the crashes, with the forward collision warning system, rear end collision avoidance, emergency brake assistance, and rollover stability control system likely to have the greatest impacts. Conclusions: Some technologies available for civilian vehicles may prevent certain military crash circumstances. Impact on Industry: The results of this research are significant in light of ongoing global military operations that rely on military vehicles. Improving the preventive technology featured on military vehicles may be an effective strategy to reduce the occurrence of military crashes.

AB - Purpose: To explore in a sample of older African Americans how religious songs were used to cope with stressful life events and to explore the religious beliefs associated with these songs. Design and Methods: Sixty-five African American older adults residing in the Southeastern US participated in a qualitative descriptive study involving criterion sampling, open-ended semi-structured interviews, qualitative content analysis, and descriptive Statistics. Results: Religion expressed through song was a coping strategy for participants experiencing stressful life events who described feelings of being comforted, strengthened, able to endure, uplifted, and able to find peace by turning to the types of religious songs described here. Five types of songs were used including those evoking Thanksgiving and Praise, Instructive, Memory of Forefathers, Communication with God, and Life after Death. Implications: Religious songs are an important form of religious expression important to the mental health of older African Americans. The incorporation of religious songs into spiritual care interventions might enhance the cultural relevance of mental health interventions in this population.

AB - Virtual reality systems commonly include both monocular and binocular depth cues, which have the potential to provide viewers with a realistic impression of spatial properties of the virtual environment. However, when multiple viewers share the same display, only one viewer typically receives the projectively correct images. All other viewers experience the same images despite displacement from the center of projection (CoP). Three experiments evaluated perceptual distortions caused by displacement from the CoP and compared those percepts to predictions of models based on monocular and binocular viewing geometry. Leftward and rightward displacement from the CoP caused virtual angles on the ground plane to be judged as larger and smaller, respectively, compared to judgments from the CoP. Backward and forward displacement caused rectangles on the ground plane to be judged as larger and smaller in depth, respectively, compared to judgments from the CoP. Judgment biases were in the sa me direction as cue-based model predictions but of smaller magnitude. Displacement from the CoP had asymmetric effects on perceptual judgments, unlike model predictions. Perceptual distortion occurred with monocular cues alone but was exaggerated when binocular cues were added. The results are grounded in terms of practical implications for multiuser virtual environments.

AB - Sport performance enhancement is in many ways an extension of the tools clinical psychologists/psychiatrists already use, applied to the athletic realm. In addition, the sports psychiatrist is an educator, trainer, and facilitator. She must learn through trial, error, and experimentation what psychological tools and techniques are most useful for her athletes. Essential to this process is development of a trusting therapeutic alliance with the athlete, and relating to the athlete both as a clinician and as one who is experienced in the realm of sport. An ideal sports psychiatrist seeks to understand the unique personality and biologic constitution of each athlete as well as the particular parameters and demands of the athlete's sport. Often those athletes who have successful athletic and post-athletic careers, as well as the most fulfilling lives, have become so because they have applied these concepts not only to sport but to other aspects of their lives, and have flourished as physicians, businessmen, and in many other enterprises.

AB - High-order cognitive functions require the integration of information across functionally related modules. This relationship suggests that cognitive ability is related to the efficiency and processing speed of basic integrative function. In order to examine individual differences for this relationship, we compared standardized tests of intelligence to visual perceptual grouping abilities, which represents a basic process of integration. Sixty participants discriminated perceived grouping of dot patterns based upon similarity in luminance. Psychophysical measurements were made of the functional limits and processing speed of grouping. We assessed cognitive abilities with the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and found that measures of grouping efficiency as well as speed varied considerably across subjects, indicating substantial individual differences at this relatively early level of visual processing. Faster grouping speed was associated with higher scores on all WASI subtests, whereas grouping ability, when not restricted by time, was associated only with the performance IQ components. These results demonstrate an association between a basic integrative function, in which cognitive and motoric factors were minimized, with measures of high-order cognition, which include both verbal and spatial cognitive components.

After defining what constitutes a 'profession of arms' (internal context) and the combat operating environment (external context), we offer a working definition of leadership in military professions as well as a definition of a professional military leader. Based on these definitions and facets of the internal and external contexts, we discuss unique phenomenon influencing leadership at the individual level of analysis, such as ethos, emotions, sense making, cognition and judgment, identity and self-complexity, individual differences, and motivation. Next, we apply the military context to the dyad and collective levels, and we discuss effects on leader-follower relationships, leader prototypes, unit composition types, group processes and goals, shared leadership, and collective influences on ethical behavior. We close with future directions to extend this work by studying more macro organizational effects of the military context as well as the routinization of extreme contexts.

It is conceptualized as a social and cultural phenomenon, which cannot be fully understood from a single perspective. The leader, the follower, the context, and the interactions amongst these elements must all be considered. The Oxford Handbook of Leadership explores the complex relationship between leader, led, and the environment that constitutes leadership. Divided into five parts, this handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the field, including: an exploration of the roles of individual attributes, training, and development play in generating a leader who is capable of performing effectively; an examination of the relationship between leadership and contextual factors in terms of an organizational role, one's culture, and a specific setting; a critical look at to what extent leader and follower behavior in a social and/or organizational context are tied; a consideration of what leader effectiveness means; and, a concluding chapter that addresses the current state of leadership research and provides some thoughts about potentially fruitful directions. Leadership research has come a long way, but the inherent dimensionality of the field leaves room for new insights and new directions. As the study of leadership progresses along the route to maturity, this volume will serve as a navigation tool that will provide a solid foundation for future research.

AB - Ethnic and racial minorities were members of the American armed forces since before the founding of the United States. For instance, Dutch from New York and Germans from Pennsylvania fought for their colonies during the French and Indian War almost 20 years before the American Revolution. In light of the American military's heterogeneity from its earliest days, it is surprising that minority groups received so little coverage in the military history of the United States. The place of the ethnic and racial minorities in U.S. military history generally remains unrepresented. Certainly, the majority of Americans know about the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, though most likely only because of the film Glory. This encyclopedia is a partial effort to redress these past omissions. Certainly, in a project of this scope, not every ethnic and racial minority group nor individual could be covered. However, I have made an effort to include a combination of the most prominent groups, organizations, and people while also remembering more obscure entries that help to flesh out the picture of ethnic and racial minorities in U.S. military history. While not perfect, I believe that this work fulfills a necessary function of filling a significant gap in the scholarship on this subject, and I hope that its contents will spark the interest of future historians and scholars.

AB - This study examined the nature, concomitants, and consequences of stress-related biological reactivity and regulation among Army nurses. Saliva was collected, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) recorded from 38 Army nurses (74% female; mean age 28.5 years [SD = 6.5]) before, during, and after participation in the Combat Casualty Stress Scenario (CCSS). Saliva was assayed for cortisol and alpha-amylase (sAA). The CCSS simulates emergency combat rescue, employing two simulated combat casualties, aversive body odors, recorded battlefield sounds, and smoke in a low light environment. Participants locate and conduct preliminary assessments of the simulated patients, triage based on injury severity, initiate treatment, and coordinate medical evacuation by radio. Results revealed large magnitude increases in cortisol, sAA, HR, systolic BP and diastolic BP in response to the CCSS, followed by recovery to baseline levels 30 min after the task for all physiological parameters except cortisol. Age, gender, perceived difficulty of the CCSS, and previous nursing experience were associated with individual differences in the magnitude of the physiological responses. Lower levels of performance related to triage and treatment were associated with higher levels of reactivity and slower recovery for some of the physiological measures. The findings raise important questions regarding the utility of integrating measures of the psychobiology of the stress response into training programs designed to prepare first responders to handle highly complex and chaotic rescue situations.

AB - The authors draw from the Aristotelian concept of character and discuss how it provides leaders with the moral compass needed to guide their organizations toward socially responsible and praiseworthy purposes, as well as provides leaders with the credibility necessary to positively influence others. The authors introduce the concept of Big-C leader character, which is socially embedded and entails the internalization of those values, principles and ideals held most sacred by the collective to which the leader belongs – the collective ethos. How leaders sustain, and are sustained by, the collective ethos is described; as well as a discussion on how followers assess their leader’s credibility based on how well they embody and exemplify the collective ethos. Ultimately, the authors show how leader ethos provides the bond between those aspiring to lead and those who see the leader as worthy of leading and subsequently choose to follow.

Psychology now has a better idea of the defensive cognitive processes that people use to create a sense of rationality for what, in truth, are desire-driven behaviors. Our focus in this initial presentation of the power motive is to overview the psychological foundation and content of the conditional-reasoning test that we developed to measure the power motive. Subsequently in this chapter, we will distinguish between the power motive per se and the power motive when it has been channeled into a toxic leadership style by people with both strong power motives and strong motives to aggress. Our objective here is to advocate that not all people with a high need for power are toxic. More importantly, we will suggest that power has often been held culpable for toxic leader behaviors that were actually inspired by a desire to harm others (i.e., aggressiveness). We will only briefly discuss other forms of channeling models for the power motive in this paper; these are subjects for later papers. The chapter concludes with a synopsis of our first empirical study in which we related scores for leaders on the conditional-reasoning measure of power motive/toxic leadership to the productivity of their organizations.

AB - Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesicant chemical warfare and terrorism agent. Besides skin and eye injury, respiratory damage has been mainly responsible for morbidity and mortality after SM exposure. Previously, it was shown that suppressing the death receptor (DR) response by the dominant-negative Fas-associated death domain protein prior to SM exposure blocked apoptosis and microvesication in skin. Here, we studied whether antagonizing the Fas receptor (FasR) pathway by small-interfering RNA (siRNA) applied after SM exposure would prevent apoptosis and, thus, airway injury. Normal human bronchial/tracheal epithelial (NHBE) cells were used as an in vitro model with FasR siRNA, FasR agonistic antibody CH11, and FasR antagonistic antibody ZB4 as investigative tools. In NHBE cells, both SM (300 µM) and CH11 (100 ng/ml) induced caspase-3 activation, which was inhibited by FasR siRNA and ZB4, indicating that SM-induced apoptosis was via the Fas response. FasR siRNA inhibited SM-induced caspase-3 activation when added to NHBE cultures up to 8 hours after SM. Results using annexin V/propidium iodide-stained cells showed that both apoptosis and necrosis were involved in cell death due to SM; FasR siRNA decreased both apoptotic and necrotic cell populations. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of rats exposed to SM (1 mg/kg, 50 minutes) revealed a significant (P < 0.05) increase in soluble Fas ligand and active caspase-3 in BALF cells. These findings suggest an intervention of Fas-mediated apoptosis as a postexposure therapeutic strategy with a therapeutic window for SM inhalation injury and possibly other respiratory diseases involving the Fas response.

AB - The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study highlighted how trauma affects individuals over time. The ACE study examined health outcomes among 17,421 adults who had exposure to childhood adversities earlier in life. Most study participants were college graduates and had health coverage. In the study, nine adversities were identified and categorized. The researchers developed an understanding of how these nine ACEs affected the health outcomes of the study participants as they reached adulthood. This study implied that those who had experienced ACEs had various negative health outcomes as adults, including alcoholism and alcohol abuse, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ischemic heart disease, depression, high-risk sexual behavior, illicit drug use, intimate partner violence, liver disease, obesity, sexually transmitted diseases, smoking, unintended pregnancy, suicide attempts, depression, and other mental health and emotional issues. These outcomes were often indicated in compromised job performance and relationship instability. Further, a dose/response relationship between the number of ACEs that each person reported and negative outcomes suggests that the higher the number of ACEs reported (even more important than the actual severity of an individual ACE), the more profound the negative outcomes became. It is assumed that these outcomes for adults can also be translated into the lives of students where the indicator is learning and academic achievement. This was confirmed by Grevstad, who found that students exposed to three or more ACEs were two and a half times more likely to fail a grade, score lower on standardized achievement tests, have more receptive and expressive language difficulties, or be suspended or expelled, and were more often referred to special education services. Further, a recent study that incorporated information from Washington State's Healthy Youth Survey for middle and high school revealed that almost half of the students surveyed experienced three or more adversities, and 10% reported six or more adversities. Given the wide-ranging impacts of trauma on students, which are described in more detail later in this chapter, teachers must develop new and improved ways for understanding how trauma can affect learning and overall functioning. They must also employ compassionate and creative responses and strategies to help students and their families develop healthy habits of resiliency in order to see successful results in school engagement and student learning.

AB - After 9/11 the United States has a significant disconnect between its strategic and tactical efforts against violent global jihadists. Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America’s prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America’s counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

Specifically, in previously collected data, we examine the relative contributions of individual performance decay and loss of team interaction skills to predict team performance decay. Results indicate that team performance decay and/or retention is accounted for by differences in team member interaction, rather than individual competency. These results support the view that team performance is more than the sum of individual team member performance, and that differences in team retention can be attributed to team interaction processes. These findings have implications for team training for long-term retention.

AB - With increasing globalization of business and science, cultural differences of the parties are an important factor that affects the process and outcomes of collaborative and self-interested interactions. The social science literature on culture, human collaboration and negotiation is mostly devoted to work within the same culture. Computer science and Artificial intelligence researchers have developed computational models of cooperation, conflict resolution and negotiation without paying a great deal of attention to identifying and modeling cultural factors. The interest in understanding inter-cultural interactions has increased substantially and has led to greater interest of social scientists and computational scientists in theoretical and experimental analysis of inter-cultural exchanges, modeling and support. The aim of this volume is to bridge the gap and bring these communities together to share research work and experiences, discuss ideas and forge interdisciplinary collaborative relations.

Soldiers often engage in leisure, training, and combat activities that place them at risk for sustaining an injury that causes a carotid artery dissection. To compound matters, spontaneous dissections are being more frequently recognized as well. Clinicians must be thorough in their history taking and maintain an elevated level of suspicion for this injury when presented with neurologic symptoms suggestive of head and neck pathology. This case study illustrates the difficulties encountered in arriving at a timely, correct diagnosis and offers treatment plan options. We hope that this case study will facilitate the early recognition and treatment of carotid artery dissections in the future.

During 2006, a total of 1,320 Soldiers and 447 Marines were interviewed during their deployment to Iraq, including focus-group sessions that also included behavioral health providers. The Soldier/Marine Well-Being Survey was utilized. Areas covered in the survey included (1) environmental risk factors, (2) protective factors, and behavioral health status and well-being. There were demographic differences between Soldiers (older, more senior ranking, more educated, more likely to be married and have children) compared to Marines. Soldiers were also more likely to be deployed longer (9 months versus 6 months). Among the central findings reported here are that level of combat (intensity) is the main determinant of behavioral health challenges, followed by deployment-related issues (length, frequency, time between deployments).

AB - When soldiers return from combat and peacekeeping operations, the United States and many NATO and Partnership for Peace countries conduct some form of postdeployment mental health assessment. To date, however, no research has been published examining changes in prevalence rates of mental health problems in the first several months after returning from combat duty. In this study, the authors examined the degree to which timing was related to reported prevalence rates of mental health problems in a matched sample of 509 US Army soldiers returning from combat in Iraq. Results showed significant increases in mental health problems at 120 days postdeployment relative to immediate reintegration. The findings are discussed in terms of providing mental health services to soldiers returning from combat. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - The Department of Defense Psychopharmacology Demonstration Project was an important precursor to the gaining of prescriptive authority for psychologists at the state level. However, there has been limited progress in this area within the military since that program's discontinuation. The authors discuss the unique challenges faced with regard to providing adequate psychiatric care in Iraq, including excessive reliance on nonpsychiatric physicians and physician assistants for psychiatric services, the risks associated with transporting personnel to psychiatric services, and issues in continuity of care. Increasing the number of military psychologists able to prescribe would improve the level and quality of care available for service members and potentially have a positive impact on prescriptive authority for psychologists at the state level.

Flight simulators are an appropriate analogy for advanced training in medical and surgical procedures. The value of these simulators is principally in teaching cognitive and manual skills. Due to their increasing complexity, simulators will eventually provide the same value in medical testing and certification as flight simulators do. There are already numerous first- and second-generation surgical simulators in ophthalmologic, biliary, urologic, laparoscopic, orthopedic, arthroscopic, and neurologic surgery, and the third generation will follow soon. The virtual organs displayed in these systems are derived from actual patient data. They are rendered in three dimensions and can be explored by flying inside and around them. If surgical, training is the goal, an operative procedure (like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or gall bladder removal with a scope and instruments inserted through holes rather than an incision) can be performed.

JO - Vadose Zone Journal JF - Vadose Zone Journal Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 8 EP - 8 AB - Thermal conductivity and diffusivity were measured for different sands under varied water saturation and temperature. Data showed that the thermal properties increased noticeably for sample temperatures above 50°C. At sample temperatures between 30 and 50°C, changes in thermal properties were small. Due to the dynamic nature of the shallow subsurface, knowledge of soil thermal properties across a wide range of soil moisture and temperature conditions is necessary to accurately describe heat transport in many settings. Soil thermal properties are difficult to measure at high temperatures, however, due to the lack of suitable measurement devices and the potential for measurement-induced changes. Therefore, thermal property data are often scarce and incomplete and very often limited to specific soils. Due to this scarcity of accurate experimental data, empirical relationships often do not accurately predict the thermal properties of soils as a function of both soil moisture and temperature. In this study, thermal conductivity and diffusivity were measured for silica sands under loose and tight packing conditions and a field sand under varied water saturation and temperature. Several recent sensor-based technologies were integrated into a small cell modified to have a network of sampling ports, continuously monitoring water saturation, temperature, and soil thermal properties. For the test sands studied, data showed that the thermal conductivity and diffusivity increased noticeably for sample temperatures >50°C. At sample temperatures between 30 and 50°C, any change in thermal properties with temperature was small. Thermal conductivities measured in this study were compared with independent estimates made using empirical models from the literature. In general, good agreement was observed for most thermal conductivity data when proper fitting parameters were established, except at intermediate saturation values.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Andes virus (ANDV) and Sin Nombre virus (SNV) are rodent-borne hantaviruses that cause a highly lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). There are no vaccines or specific drugs to prevent or treat HPS, and the pathogenesis is not understood. Syrian hamsters infected with ANDV, but not SNV, develop a highly lethal disease that closely resembles HPS in humans. Here, we performed a temporal pathogenesis study comparing ANDV and SNV infections in hamsters. SNV was nonpathogenic and viremia was not detected despite the fact that all animals were infected. ANDV was uniformly lethal with a mean time to death of 11 days. The first pathology detected was lymphocyte apoptosis starting on day 4. Animals were viremic and viral antigen was first observed in multiple organs by days 6 and 8, respectively. Levels of infectious virus in the blood increased 4 to 5 logs between days 6 and 8. Pulmonary edema was first detected ultrastructurally on day 6. Ultrastructural analysis of lung tissues revealed the presence of large inclusion bodies and substantial numbers of vacuoles within infected endothelial cells. Paraendothelial gaps were not observed, suggesting that fluid leakage was transcellular and directly attributable to infecting virus. Taken together, these data imply that HPS treatment strategies aimed at preventing virus replication and dissemination will have the greatest probability of success if administered before the viremic phase; however, because vascular leakage is associated with infected endothelial cells, a therapeutic strategy targeting viral replication might be effective even at later times (e.g., after disease onset).

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Background: Previous studies have shown a relationship between childhood adversity and health outcomes in adulthood. The military represents a segment of the young working population that faces unique hazards that may be worsened by previous adverse life experiences. To date, no comprehensive studies of childhood adversity have been conducted with military samples that have included combat troops before and after a combat deployment. Methods: Surveys were administered in 2003 to 4529 male soldiers who had not deployed to Iraq, and in 2004 to a separate group of 2392 male soldiers 3 months after returning from Iraq. The main predictor was adverse childhood experiences, an aggregated construct representing incremental exposure to six types of traumatic childhood experiences. This construct correlated with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder rates, as well as symptom scores. For the post-Iraq sample, analyses were conducted to assess whether individuals with childhood trauma were affected differently by exposure to combat. Results: The likelihood of screening positive for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder was significantly higher for individuals reporting exposure to two or more categories of childhood adversity. Core analyses showed that adverse childhood experiences were a significant predictor of mental health symptoms, beyond the expected contribution of combat. Conclusions: This study confirms the high prevalence of adverse childhood experiences and the association of these experiences with key mental health outcomes. In addition, the results highlight the importance of considering pre-enlistment childhood traumatic experiences as well as the level of combat exposure in the treatment of military personnel returning from combat operations.

Language: English. Number of References: 50 ref. Registry Number: 7440-66-6. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - To guide development of novel nutritional strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of stress fractures, we observed the effects of manipulating dietary zinc (Zn) content on bone integrity in Sprague-Dawley rats fed either a severely Zn-deficient (ZnD; 1 ppm), a moderately Zn-deficient (MZnD; 5 ppm) or a Zn-adequate (ZnAD; 30 ppm) diet for 6 weeks. At the completion of the diet period, body composition, bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA) and bone mineral density (BMD) were determined in vivo by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Following euthanasia, long bones were collected for determination of Zn content and biomechanical strength testing. Despite significant positive correlations between dietary Zn and both body weight (BW) and bone Zn content for the entire cohort (r=.77 and r=.83, respectively), rats fed MZnD or ZnAD diets did not differ in feed intakes, body composition, BMC, BA, BMD or BW. Tibial bones, but not femur bones, appear to be more responsive to dietary Zn manipulation, as all bone biomechanical strength indices in the ZnAD-fed rats were significantly greater than in rats fed the ZnD diets. Rats fed either MZnD or ZnAD diets had stronger tibiae (129% increase in maximum load and stress at maximum load, P<.01) compared with those fed ZnD diets. The load at breakage for the tibial bones of rats fed MZnD diets was not different from the ZnD rats, but lower (P<.05) than that of the ZnAD rats. These results suggest that since feed intakes, body composition, BMC, BA, BMD and BW were not significantly different between the MZnD- and ZnAD-fed animals, the reduced bone integrity observed in the MZnD-fed rats resulted from dietary Zn inadequacy, and not as a result of the reduced growth that is typically associated with Zn deficiency.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Adenovirus-associated acute respiratory disease (AARD) is well documented in the U.S. military, but little information is readily available on its occurrence in other healthy populations that might also benefit from adenovirus vaccines. We reviewed publications on AARD in non-U.S. military, immunocompetent, young adults in group-living settings. Since adenovirus disease can be severe in immunocompromised and paediatric patients, we also considered AARD in health care workers. We evaluated 83 publications, published between 1950 and 2005, concerning 22 countries. Most described outbreaks in foreign military recruits and were published before 1970. More recent reports documented outbreaks in student dormitories and medical facilities. The 83 reports did not provide evidence for AARD being a serious, persistent, contemporary concern in the populations studied, nor did they identify strong interest in adenovirus vaccines. Currently, available, sensitive, molecular diagnostic tests may better define the importance of AARD in populations outside the U.S. military.

Subject Subsets: Leisure, Recreation, Tourism; Human Nutrition N2 - Context: Uncertainty exists regarding the effect of sustained sweating on sweat mineral-element composition. Purpose: To determine the effect of multiple hours of exercise-heat stress on sweat mineral concentrations. Methods: Seven heat-acclimated subjects (6 males, 1 female) completed 5×60 min of treadmill exercise (1.56 m/s, 2% grade) with 20 min rest between exercise periods in 2 weather conditions (27°C, 40% relative humidity, 1 m/s and 35°C, 30%, 1 m/s). Sweat was collected from a sweat-collection pouch attached to the upper back during exercise bouts 1, 3, and 5. Mineral elements were determined by using inductively coupled plasma-emission spectrography. Results: At 27°C, sweat sodium (863 [563] µg/mL; mean [SD]), potassium (222 [48] µg/mL), calcium (16 [7] µg/mL), magnesium (1265 [566] ng/mL), and copper (80 [56] ng/mL) remained similar to baseline over 7 h of exercise-heat stress, whereas sweat zinc declined 42-45% after the initial hour of exercise-heat stress (Ex1=655 [362], Ex3=382 [168], Ex5=355 [288] µg/mL, P<0.05). Similar outcomes were observed for sweat zinc at 35°C when sweat rates were higher. Sweat rate had no effect on sweat trace-element composition. Conclusions: Sweat sodium, potassium, and calcium losses during multiple hours of sustained sweating can be predicted from initial sweat composition. Estimates of sweat zinc losses, however, will be overestimated if sweat zinc conservation is not accounted for in sweat zinc-loss estimates.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Objective: Fresh whole blood (FWB) and red blood cells (RBCs) are transfused to injured casualties in combat support hospitals. We evaluated the risks of FWB and RBCs transfused to combat-related casualties. Design: Retrospective chart review. Setting: Deployed U.S. Army combat support hospitals. Subjects: Donors of FWB and recipients of FWB and RBCs. Measurements and Results: The storage age of RBCs at transfusion was measured as an indicator of overall risk associated with the storage lesion of RBCs between January 2004 and December 2004 at one combat support hospital. Between April 2004 and December 2004, FWB was prescreened only at one combat support hospital for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis B surface antigen before transfusion. To estimate the general incidence of infectious agent contamination in FWB units, samples collected between May 2003 and February 2006 were tested retrospectively for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus, and human lymphotropic virus. Results were compared between FWB samples prescreened and not prescreened for infectious agents before transfusion. At one combat support hospital in 2004, 87 patients were transfused 545 units of FWB and 685 patients were transfused 5,294 units of RBCs with a mean age at transfusion of 33 days (±6 days). Retrospective testing of 2,831 samples from FWB donor units transfused in Iraq and Afghanistan between May 2003 and February 2006 indicated that three of 2,831 (0.11%) were positive for hepatitis C virus recombinant immunoblot assay, two of 2,831 (0.07%) were positive for human lymphotropic virus enzyme immunoassay, and none of 2,831 were positive for both human immunodeficiency virus 1/2 and hepatitis B surface antigen by Western blot and neutralization methods, respectively. The differences in the incidence of hepatitis C virus contamination of FWB donor units between those prescreened for hepatitis C virus (zero of 406; 0%) and not prescreened (three of 2,425; 0.12%) were not significant (p=.48). Conclusions: The risk of infectious disease transmission with FWB transfusion can be minimized by rapid screening tests before transfusion. Because of the potential adverse outcomes of transfusing RBCs of increased storage age to combat-related trauma patients, the risks and benefits of FWB transfusions must be balanced with those of transfusing old RBCs in patients with life-threatening traumatic injuries.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of suicides among U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy recruits from 1980 through 2004. Methods: Recruit suicides were identified through the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. We calculated crude, category-specific, and age-adjusted mortality rates as deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Results: There were 46 onsite suicides by gunshot (39%), hanging (35%), fall/jump (22%), and drug overdose (4%). An additional 20 recruits committed suicide from 1980 through 2004 after leaving the military training site. Methods included gunshot (70%), hanging (20%), fall/jump (5%), and poisoning (5%). Therefore, the overall recruit suicide rate was 6.9 (95% confidence interval=5.4-8.8) deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Only three (5%) suicides occurred among females resulting in a 3.5 times higher risk for males compared to females (95% confidence interval=1.1-11.2). Conclusions: Suicide rates among military recruits were lower than those of comparably aged U.S. civilians. However, the occurrence of any suicide during basic military training emphasizes the importance of routine evaluation of the effectiveness of each military service's suicide prevention program as it applies to this population.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - As part of an investigation determining the trophically available fraction of metals in a model terrestrial food web, i.e., invertebrate prey to Western fence lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis), we evaluated the ability of several invertebrate prey to bioaccumulate lead and to form metals-rich granules, which are hypothesized to be non-available to predators. Crickets (Acheta domestica), tenebroid beetle larvae (Tenebrio molitor), and isopods (Porcellio scaber) were selected as model prey organisms. Lack of standard exposure methodologies for these species has presented a barrier to trophic transfer evaluations, as each species has particular requirements that create challenges for designing exposure conditions. We were able to devise exposure conditions for all three species that allow long-term exposure studies. All prey organisms accumulated lead from contaminated food, and for all species the majority of the accumulated Pb was associated with the exoskeleton (>50%), with metals-rich granules accounting for most of the remaining accumulated lead.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - In rats, dietary supplementation with the amino acid tyrosine (TYR) prevents depletion of central catecholamines observed during acute environmental stress. Concomitant changes in the animals' behavioral responses to stress suggest that TYR might have similar effects on central catecholamines and cognition in humans exposed to environmental stress. This study aimed to determine if severe cold exposure impairs human cognition and if dietary supplementation with TYR would ameliorate such deficits. Volunteers (N=19) completed three test sessions on different days (35°C control/placebo, ~10°C/placebo, ~10°C/TYR) using a double-blind, within subjects design. During each session, volunteers completed two 90-minute water immersions and consumed a food bar (150 mg/kg TYR or placebo) before each immersion (total TYR 300 mg/kg). Cognitive performance, mood, and salivary cortisol were assessed. Cortisol was elevated in the cold (p<.01). Volunteers made fewer correct responses on a Match-to-Sample memory measure (p<.05) and reaction time (RT) and errors increased on a choice RT test (p<.01) in the cold. Self-reported tension (p<.01), depression (p<.05) and confusion (p<.01) also increased in the cold. When volunteers consumed TYR, correct responses increased on a Match-to-Sample memory measure (p<.05) and study time for the sample was shorter (p<.05), indicative of more rapid and accurate information processing. Finally, RT on the memory measure revealed a similar pattern across immersions for TYR and thermoneutral conditions, but not cold/placebo (p<.05). This study demonstrates cold exposure degrades cognitive performance and supplementation with TYR alleviates working memory decrements.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - There is a critical need for an alternative nonhuman primate model for inhalational anthrax infection because of the increasingly limited supply and cost of the current model. This report describes the pathology in 12 African green monkeys (AGMs) that succumbed to inhalational anthrax after exposure to a low dose (presented dose 200-2×104 colony-forming units [cfu]) or a high dose (presented dose 2×104-1×107 cfu) of Bacillus anthracis (Ames strain) spores. Frequent gross lesions noted in the AGM were hemorrhage and edema in the lung, mediastinum, and mediastinal lymph nodes; pleural and pericardial effusions; meningitis; and gastrointestinal congestion and hemorrhage. Histopathologic findings included necrohemorrhagic lymphadenitis of mediastinal, axillary, inguinal, and mesenteric lymph nodes; mediastinal edema; necrotizing splenitis; meningitis; and congestion, hemorrhage, and edema of the lung, mesentery, mesenteric lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, and gonads. Pathologic changes in AGMs were remarkably similar to what has been reported in rhesus macaques and humans that succumbed to inhalational anthrax; thus, AGMs could serve as useful models for inhalation anthrax studies.

Language: English. Number of References: 13 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE), developed by the Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections System (DOD-GEIS), actively analyses syndromic groupings from electronic International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision data as a proxy for early disease outbreak detection. This study compares International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, data and emergency room records from three hospitals to determine the accuracy of data in ESSENCE. Of 2474 records reviewed, inter-reviewer variability illustrated excellent consistency, ranging from 0.87 to 1.0. Gastrointestinal disease had the highest overall sensitivity (89.0%) and specificity (96.0%), likely due to less overlap with other groups, unlike the respiratory (sensitivity, 65.7%; specificity, 95.6%) and fever (sensitivity, 69.4%; specificity, 95.5%) groups, where symptoms of both are often seen in the same patient. This study concludes that data used by ESSENCE is accurate and reflects the types of patient visits to these facilities, which are valuable information for public health decision makers.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Influenza virus is readily transmitted by aerosols and its inactivation in the environment could play a role in limiting the spread of influenza epidemics. Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight is the primary virucidal agent in the environment but the time that influenza virus remains infectious outside its infected host remains to be established. In this study, we calculated the expected inactivation of influenza A virus by solar ultraviolet radiation in several cities of the world during different times of the year. The inactivation rates reported here indicate that influenza A virions should remain infectious after release from the host for several days during the winter "flu season" in many temperate-zone cities, with continued risk for reaerosolization and human infection. The correlation between low and high solar virucidal radiation and high and low disease prevalence, respectively, suggest that inactivation of viruses in the environment by solar UV radiation plays a role in the seasonal occurrence of influenza pandemics.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: The U.S. military immunizes new recruits against hepatitis A. Since 2001, immunization with the hepatitis A vaccine has been recommended for civilian adolescents in higher risk areas. Recently, the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board recommended serologic screening where feasible to reduce redundant recruit immunizations. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine hepatitis A seroprevalence in recruit populations to inform screening policy. Methods: Banked serum from a sample of military recruits (n=2,592) in 2004 was tested for total antibody to hepatitis A (anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV)). Results: The overall anti-HAV seroprevalence was 12.0% (95% confidence interval, 10.8%-13.3%). Adjusted to the age distribution of the 18- to 34-year-old population, the seroprevalence was 11.9% (10.5%-13.4%). The lowest seroprevalence was noted in the 1984 birth cohort, with significantly higher seroprevalence among younger recruits. Conclusions: Rising hepatitis A immunity among successive birth cohorts suggests increasing compliance with immunization recommendations. In anticipation of rising population immunity, universal screening of military recruits for anti-HAV is recommended.

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates the initiation of protein synthesis. The objective of this study was to determine whether Zn could stimulate protein phosphorylation in the mTOR pathway in vivo. Mice (C57BL/6J, n=30) were fed Zn marginal diets (ZM, 5 mg/kg) for 4 weeks, followed by fasting (F) and/or refeeding with ZM or Zn supplemental (300 mg/kg, ZS) diets for 3 or 6 h. Plasma insulin was greater (P<0.05) in refed animals as compared to F animals. Protein phosphorylation was detected using multiplex analysis and Western blotting. Multiplex analysis indicated greater (P<0.05) p70 S6 kinase (p70S6K) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3 α/β) phosphorylation in livers from 6-h refed ZS animals as compared to F animals. Western blots indicated increased (P<0.05) Akt (Ser 473) phosphorylation in skeletal muscle from animals refed ZS diets for 3 and 6 h as compared to F animals. The ZS diet affected phosphorylation of GSK-3 (α/β) in liver, as 3-h ZS refed animals had greater (P<0.01) phosphorylation than F animals. These findings indicate that Zn may contribute to the initiation of protein synthesis as a signaling molecule in vivo.

Travel to Asia offers children many opportunities to learn about new cultures and history. It also offers the potential for exposure to numerous infectious agents not commonly encountered in the United States. Families must begin to prepare for travel to Asia weeks before departure. Children should be up to date on routine vaccinations. Appropriate education should be given on arthropod avoidance and malaria prophylaxis. Additional education and possible prophylaxis should be completed for other infectious agents frequently encountered in Asia. With appropriate pretrip immunizations and prophylaxis, children can travel to Asia with minimal risk of acquiring infection.

N2 - Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax, and the spore form of the bacterium represents the infectious particle introduced into a host. The spore is surrounded by an exosporium, a loose-fitting membrane composed of proteins and carbohydrates from which hair-like projections extend. These projections are composed mainly of BclA (Bacillus-collagen-like protein of B. anthracis). To date, exact roles of the exosporium structure and BclA protein remain undetermined. We examined differences in spore binding of wild-type Ames and a bclA mutant of B. anthracis to bronchial epithelial cells as well as to the following other epithelial cells: A549, CHO, and Caco-2 cells; the IMR-90 fibroblast line; and human umbilical vein vascular endothelium cells. The binding of wild-type Ames spores to bronchial epithelial cells appeared to be a dose-dependent, receptor-ligand-mediated event. There were similar findings for the bclA mutant, with an additional nonspecific binding component likely leading to significantly more adherence to all nonprofessional phagocytic cell types. In contrast, we detected no difference in adherence and uptake of spores by macrophages for either the wild-type Ames or the bclA mutant strain. These results suggest that one potential role of the BclA fibers may be to inhibit nonspecific interactions between B. anthracis spores with nonprofessional phagocytic cells and thus direct the spores towards uptake by macrophages during initiation of infection in mammals.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Poultry; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Tropical Diseases N2 - As a result of concerns regarding the geographic spread of West Nile virus (WNV) to Central America, we evaluated the potential for Honduran Culex nigripalpus Theobald to transmit this virus. We tested individual mosquitoes captured in Olancho Province, Honduras, in September 2003. Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on 2-to 4-day-old chickens previously inoculated with a New York strain (Crow 397-99) of WNV. Infection rates in Cx. nigripalpus ranged from 81%-96% after feeding on chickens with viremias between 106.3 and 107.4 plaque-forming units per milliliter. Development of a disseminated infection was directly correlated with holding time after the infectious blood meal as 68% (19/28) of the mosquitoes tested 20 days after the infectious blood meal had a disseminated infection as compared to 38% (15/40) of the mosquitoes tested 14 days after feeding on the same viremic chickens (viremia=106.9-7.4). Nearly all (4/5) Cx. nigripalpus with a disseminated infection that fed on susceptible chickens transmitted virus by bite. In addition, 8 (57%) of 14 Cx. nigripalpus with a disseminated infection transmitted virus when tested by a capillary tube feeding assay. Based on its efficiency of viral transmission in this study and its role in the transmission of the closely related St. Louis encephalitis virus in the southeastern United States, Cx. nigripalpus should be considered a potentially important vector of WNV in Honduras and the rest of Central America.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers; Public Health N2 - The toxic properties of tungsten compounds have recently been brought to the forefront with clusters of human cancer cases, such as in Fallon, NV. Such instances have made the determination of tungsten in natural water supplies vitally important. Tungsten exists in most environmental matrices as the soluble and mobile tungstate anion, although it can polymerize with itself and other anions, such as molybdate and phosphate. Because the geochemical and toxicological properties of these polymer species will vary from the monomeric tungstate parent, determination of tungstate speciation is as critical as determination of total dissolved tungsten concentration. Use of chromatographic separations, followed by element-specific detection is a proven technology for elemental speciation. In the present work, anion exchange chromatography has been coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to determine tungstate, molybdate, and phosphate species at the sub-µg l-1 and µg l-1 levels. The method provides quantitative determination of these species in about 10 min with the capability to simultaneously determine other oxyanion species. The method has been applied to groundwater and extracts of soils amended with tungsten powder. The water soluble tungsten in 1-h deionized water extracts after six months of soil aging was >15 mg l-1, however, only ~50% of the tungsten was present as monomeric tungstate.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Dietary supplements and special diets that purportedly enhance cognitive function are widely promoted in many countries. Nutritional interventions claiming to relieve stress and depression, increase energy or improve memory are common. Limited regulatory requirements for marketing dietary supplements or special diets, particularly in comparison with drugs, place substantial responsibility on scientists conducting research in this area. Agreement on scientific standards for the conduct and evaluation of research is clearly desirable, so that scientists can achieve consensus regarding such claims. Many of the methods used to assess dietary supplements and other nutritional factors are similar to those used in other fields, such as psychopharmacology, and are widely accepted by investigators conducting nutrition and behaviour research. Key methods in common include use of double-blind procedures, dose-response studies and placebo treatments. Some of these procedures can be difficult or impossible to implement in nutritional studies. Other critical methods, such as selection of appropriate tests to assess cognitive performance and mood state, are more controversial among scientists working in this and other areas, and difficult to standardise. Scientific consensus on these issues will ensure availability of safe and efficacious dietary supplements and help eliminate dangerous or ineffective products.

Hydrogen sulfide is a lipid-soluble gas produced in occupational settings and from decaying organic matter. We present a 36-year-old man who developed acute respiratory arrest from hydrogen sulfide poisoning while performing work as a dairy farmer. Case report. The subject entered a poorly ventilated tank containing degrading eggs and, within seconds, collapsed. Coworkers were able to extract him within minutes but he was apneic. He was intubated by emergency medical services and subsequently managed with supportive care in the intensive care unit. Upon admission, a powerful rotten egg scent was noted and a hydrogen sulfide poisoning was suspected. Serum analysis for the presence of thiosulfate confirmed the diagnosis. Nitrite therapy was not administered as the subject arrived outside of the therapeutic window of effectiveness and showed evidence of excellent oxygenation. His examinations following arrival were consistent with an anoxic brain injury which slowly improved several months after the incident with intensive neuro-rehabilitation. Discussion. Hydrogen sulfide is a mitochondrial toxin and inhibits cytochrome-aa3 and prevents cellular aerobic metabolism. Therapies for toxic exposures include removal from the contaminated environment, ventilation with 100% oxygen, and nitrite therapy if administered immediately after exposure. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has anecdotal support and remains controversial. Conclusion. Hydrogen sulfide is a significant occupational health hazard. Education, personal protective equipment, and early treatment are important in improving outcomes.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Perchlorate-induced inhibition of thyroidal iodide uptake was measured in normal and iodine-deficient female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats that were made iodine-deficient by long-term restriction of iodine in the diet absorbed a gavage dose of 131I to the thyroid in proportionally greater amounts than rats fed a normal diet. Furthermore, the iodine-deficient rats maintained their high rates of absorption even when challenged by levels of perchlorate in their drinking water sufficient to produce pronounced inhibition of 131I uptake in rats fed a normal diet. Every dose of perchlorate used in this study (1.1, 5.6, and 28 mg/L) produced significant inhibition of iodide uptake in normally fed rats, but only the highest level of perchlorate (28 mg/L) significantly inhibited thyroidal uptake of 131I in the iodine-deficient rats. Taken together, these results demonstrate that iodide-deficient animals exhibit increased resistance to the inhibition of iodine absorption resulting from perchlorate exposure.

Number of References: 24 ref. N2 - Background: Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is characterized by lung injury and inflammation, with significant increases in the numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. Objective: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. Methods: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. Results: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Conclusions: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Pneumonic plague is a severe, rapidly progressing disease for which there is no effective vaccine. Since the efficacy of new vaccines cannot be tested in humans, it is essential to develop in vitro surrogate assays that are valid predictors of immunity. The F1 capsule antigen stimulates a protective immune response to most strains of Yersinia pestis. However, strains of Y. pestis that are F1- but still virulent have been isolated, and an in vitro assay, the results which can predict protection against both F1+ and F1- strains, is needed. The virulence antigen (V) is an essential virulence factor of Y. pestis and stimulates protective antibodies. We investigated potential correlates of plague immunity that are based on anti-V antibody-mediated neutralization of Yersinia-induced macrophage cytotoxicity. The neutralizing activity of sera from mice vaccinated with an F1-V fusion candidate vaccine was determined. The decrease in the level of the apoptosis-specific enzyme caspase-3 significantly predicted survival in one- and two-dose vaccination experiments. Sera from F1-V-vaccinated nonhuman primates were evaluated with macrophage assays based on caspase-3 and on other markers manifested at the different stages in cell death. Using murine-and human-derived macrophages in microscopic and fluorescence-activated-cell-sorting-based live/dead staining assays of terminal necrosis, we demonstrated a strong association between in vitro neutralization of macrophage cytotoxicity induced by serum-treated Yersinia and in vivo protection against lethal infection. These results provide a strong base for the development of reliable in vitro correlate bioassays that are predictive of protective immunity to plague.

N2 - Ricin is a potent toxin associated with bioterrorism for which no vaccine or specific countermeasures are currently available. A stable, non-toxic and immunogenic recombinant ricin A-chain vaccine (RTA 1-33/44-198) has been developed by protein engineering. We identified optimal formulation conditions for this vaccine under which it remained stable and potent in storage for up to 18 months, and resisted multiple rounds of freeze-thawing without stabilizing co-solvents. Reformulation from phosphate buffer to succinate buffer increased adherence of the protein to aluminum hydroxide adjuvant from 15 to 91%, with a concomitant increase of nearly threefold in effective antigenicity in a mouse model. Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we examined the secondary structure of the protein while it was adhered to aluminum hydroxide. Adjuvant adsorption produced only a small apparent change in secondary structure, while significantly stabilizing the protein to thermal denaturation. The vaccine therefore may be safely stored in the presence of adjuvant. Our results suggest that optimization of adherence of a protein antigen to aluminum adjuvant can be a useful route to increasing both stability and effectiveness, and support a role for a "depot effect" of adjuvant.

Such events require a rapid response and incorporation of non-traditional partners for disease investigation and outbreak control. The astute application of infectious disease epidemiological principles can promote an enhanced index of suspicion for such events. We discuss epidemiological indicators that should be considered during outbreak investigations, and also examine their application during bioterrorism incidents, an accidental release of an agent, outbreaks of infections that were alleged to have been deliberately initiated, and a model scenario. The Grunow & Finke epidemiological assessment tool is used to examine these historical events and the model scenario. The results received from this analysis, coupled with an understanding of epidemiological clues to unnatural events, and knowledge of how to manage such events, can aid in the improved response and resolution of epidemics.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Veterinary Science N2 - Identifying viral isolates from field-collected mosquitoes can be difficult and time-consuming, particularly in regions of the world where numerous closely related viruses are co-circulating (e.g., the Amazon Basin region of Peru). The use of molecular techniques may provide rapid and efficient methods for identifying these viruses in the laboratory. Therefore, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of two South American eastern equine encephalomyelitis viruses (EEEVs): one member from the Peru-Brazil (Lineage II) clade and one member from the Argentina-Panama (Lineage III) clade. In addition, we determined the nucleotide sequence for the nonstructural P3 protein (nsP3) and envelope 2 (E2) protein genes of 36 additional isolates of EEEV from mosquitoes captured in Peru between 1996 and 2001. The 38 isolates were evenly distributed between lineages II and III virus groupings. However, analysis of the nsP3 gene for lineage III strongly suggested that the 19 isolates from this lineage could be divided into two sub-clades, designated as lineages III and IIIA. Compared with North American EEEV (lineage I, GA97 strain), we found that the length of the nsP3 gene was shorter in the strains isolated from South America. A total of 60 nucleotides was deleted in lineage II, 69 in lineage III, and 72 in lineage IIIA. On the basis of the sequences we determined for South American EEEVs and those for other viruses detected in the same area, we developed a series of primers for characterizing these viruses.

Respondents included (1) a consumer panel of civilian lab employees, (2) shoppers in a mall in the northeastern U.S., and (3) U.S. military troops on training exercises. Respondents rated their interest in 49 different food product concepts that varied in food type, processing or production technology, costs, benefits, risks, endorsing agencies, and product information. Results showed that the relative importance of factors did not vary greatly among the consumer groups. Perceived risks associated with the technologies were the most important factors influencing interest in use. Among the emerging technologies assessed, irradiation and genetic modification resulted in the greatest negative effect on likely use, while high pressure processing produced the most positive effect. The term "cold preservation" had positive associations for all groups, but "minimally processed" had negative associations.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - U.S. service members are often deployed to regions endemic for malaria. Preventive measures play an important role in mitigating the risk of disease and adverse effects on mission performance. Currently, a large contingent of U.S. forces is deployed in malarious regions in southeast and southwest Asia. The purpose of this study was to describe malaria cases reported by the tri-service reportable medical events system in terms of exposure (deployment history) and latency of infection. We conducted a retrospective analysis of population health data routinely collected for disease surveillance. All malaria reports received into the Defense Medical Surveillance System by January 3, 2006 with a date of onset between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2005 in which the individual diagnosed is a member of the active or reserve military components linked to personnel and deployment data were analyzed to determine assignment and deployment history. The main outcome measure was the ICD9-CM diagnosis of malaria (Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, P. ovale, P. malaria, and unspecified malaria) by date of onset and days from exposure. A total of 423 cases of malaria were reported during the study period. The Army (n=325) and the Marine Corps (n=46) had the highest number of reported cases. Plasmodium vivax (n=242) and P. falciparum (n=92) caused nearly four-fifths of all reported cases. During the period from 2003 through 2005, 34% of deployed cases were exposed to more than one malaria-endemic region. Seventy-four cases had been assigned in the Republic of Korea, and all were present in Korea during the high risk transmission period. Seventy-eight cases had documented service in Afghanistan; only 4 had off-season exposure and no other documented exposures. Sixty cases had documented exposure during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Only six seasonally exposed and six off seasonally exposed OIF cases had no other documented exposure. Fifty percent of Korean cases were diagnosed during an exposure season, and only 3% of Afghan cases were diagnosed during an exposure season. Soldiers in today's military can be exposed to more than one malaria-endemic region prior to diagnosis. This presents new complexities for disease monitoring and prevention policy development.

Fifteen subjects completed a control trial (CON) in warm (35°C) water and two cold water trials, each spaced a week apart. Subjects ingested an energy bar during each trial; on one cold trial (TYR) the bar contained tyrosine (300 mg/kg body weight), and on the other cold trial (PLB) and on CON the bar contained no tyrosine. Following each water immersion, subjects completed a battery of performance tasks in a cold air (10°C) chamber. Core temperature was lower (p=0.0001) on PLB and TYR (both 35.5±0.6°C) than CON (37.1±0.3°C). On PLB, performance on a Match-to-Sample task decreased 18% (p=0.02) and marksmanship performance decreased 14% (p=0.002), compared to CON, but there was no difference between TYR and CON. Step test performance decreased by 11% (p=0.0001) on both cold trials, compared to CON. These data support previous findings that dietary tyrosine supplementation is effective for mitigating cold-induced cognitive performance such as working memory, even with reduced core temperature, and extends those findings to include the psychomotor task of marksmanship.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agricultural Biotechnology; Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Vaccines that could protect humans against the highly lethal Marburg and Ebola viruses have eluded scientists for decades. Classical approaches have been generally unsuccessful for Marburg and Ebola viruses and pose enormous safety concerns as well. Modern approaches, in particular those using vector-based approaches have met with success in nonhuman primate models although success against Ebola has been more difficult to achieve than Marburg. Despite these successes, more work remains to be done. For the vector-based vaccines, safety in humans and potency in the face of pre-existing anti-vector immunity may be critical thresholds for licensure. The immunological mechanism(s) by which these vaccines protect has not yet been convincingly determined. Licensure of these vaccines for natural outbreaks may be possible through clinical trials although this will be very difficult; licensure may also be possible by pivotal efficacy studies in animal models with an appropriate challenge. Nevertheless, nonhuman primate studies have shown that protection against Marburg and Ebola is possible and there is hope that one day a vaccine will be licensed for human use.

Language: English. Number of References: 32 ref. N2 - Use of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) as an indicator of previously elevated bacteria concentrations in a watershed was examined. The ability of the zebra mussel to accumulate and purge Escherichia coli over several days was investigated in both laboratory and field experiments. In laboratory experiments, periodic enumeration of E. coli in mussels that had been exposed to a dilute solution of raw sewage demonstrated that (i) maximum concentrations of E. coli are reached within a few hours of exposure to sewage, (ii) the tissue concentration attained is higher than the concentration in the ambient water, and (iii) the E. coli concentrations take several days to return to preexposure concentrations when mussels are subsequently placed in sterile water. In field experiments conducted in southeast Michigan, USA, in the Clinton River watershed, brief increases in E. coli concentrations in the water were accompanied by increases in mussel concentrations of E. coli that lasted 2 or 3 d. The ability of mussels to retain and to concentrate E. coli made it possible to detect E. coli in the environment under conditions that conventional monitoring may often miss. Sampling caged mussels in a river and its tributaries may enable watershed managers to reduce the sampling frequency normally required to identify critical E. coli sources, thereby providing a more cost-effective river monitoring strategy for bacterial contamination.

Subsequently, MTSs have grown in popularity in group and team research, spanning a breath of disciplines (psychology, organizational behavior, human factors, communication, and medicine). In this review, our goal is to highlight the existing research across a range of disciplines regarding MTSs that serves to answer the question, “What do we know about MTSs?” while also developing a future research agenda aimed at answering the question, “Where does our research need to go to better understand MTSs?” We specifically highlight the current trends, dynamics, and methodological issues in MTSs to further build the foundation for improving MTS effectiveness.

Design: The following questionnaires were used to assess sopite syndrome symptoms pre, during and post parabolic flight; Misery Scale rate, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, the Motion Sickness Assessment Questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Study sample: Case report of a 35-year old female compared to a control group (n = 26). Results: We describe of sopite syndrome during parabolic flight. The subject reported drowsiness and she noted mood changes such as irritation and annoyance. Furthermore, she was not able to perform her assigned task. Her symptoms escalated into extreme fatigue and the inability to stay awake. Nauseogenic symptoms improved, but soporific symptoms persisted for several hours after the motion stimulus (i.e. parabolic flight). Conclusions: This case points towards the need for controlled studies to assess the prevalence of this syndrome among the general population and select groups. Future research should focus on developing tests for personnel screening and explore treatment options.

The use of aqueous alternatives is limited by their narrow electrochemical stability window (1.23 volts), which sets an intrinsic limit on the practical voltage and energy output.We report a highly concentrated aqueous electrolyte whose window was expanded to ~3.0 volts with the formation of an electrode-electrolyte interphase. A full lithium-ion battery of 2.3 volts using such an aqueous electrolyte was demonstrated to cycle up to 1000 times, with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency at both low (0.15 coulomb) and high (4.5 coulombs) discharge and charge rates.

The hypothesis was that intermittent cooling on a 2 min on-off schedule using a liquid cooling garment (LCG) covering 72% of the body surface area would reduce heat strain comparably to constant cooling. Four male subjects completed three experiments at 30 degrees C, 30% relative humidity wearing the LCG under the MOPP 3 during 80 min of treadmill walking at 224 +/- 5 W . m(-2). Water temperature to the LCG was held constant at 21 degrees C. The experiments were; 1) constant cooling (CC); 2) intermittent cooling at 2-min intervals (IC); 3) no cooling (NC). Core temperature increased (1.6 +/- 0.2 degrees C) in NC, which was greater than IC (0.5 +/- 0.2 degrees C) and CC (0.5 +/- 0.3 degrees C) ( p < 0.05). Mean skin temperature was higher during NC (36.1 +/- 0.4 degrees C) than IC (33.7 +/- 0.6 degrees C) and CC (32.6 +/- 0.6 degrees C) and mean skin temperature was higher during IC than CC ( p < 0.05). Mean heart rate during NC (139 +/- 9 b . min(-1)) was greater than IC (110 +/- 10 b . min(-1)) and CC (107 +/- 9 b . min(-1)) ( p < 0.05). Cooling by conduction (K) during NC (94 +/- 4 W . m(-2)) was lower than IC (142 +/- 7 W . m(-2)) and CC (146 +/- 4 W . m(-2)) ( p < 0.05). These findings suggest that IC provided a favourable skin to LCG gradient for heat dissipation by conduction and reduced heat strain comparable to CC during exercise-heat stress in chemical protective clothing.

When surgery is unavailable, one potential solution to such hemorrhage might be the introduction of an agent into the closed body cavity to provide hemostasis via a combination of coagulative and tamponade effects. FloSeal is an agent containing collagen and thrombin with proven hemostatic efficacy when applied with manual pressure to a bleeding site. The current studies were conducted to analyze the ability of FloSeal to reduce blood loss and increase survival time when applied directly, immediately, and without additional pressure to a severe liver injury in rats. METHODS: Male rats were anesthetized and catheters were placed in the carotid artery (for measurement of blood pressure) and jugular vein (for resuscitation with lactated Ringers, 3.3 mL/min/kg BW). After midventral laparotomy, the liver was exposed and caudal portions of both medial lobes ( approximately 1% of body weight) were rapidly excised. FloSeal (5 mL, 800 units Thrombin/mL) or vehicle (5 mL, 0.9% NaCl) was directly and immediately applied to the cut liver surface. The abdominal cavity was closed and resuscitation initiated. After hemorrhage-induced death, or after euthanasia at 90 minutes, fluid loss (blood + resuscitation fluid) was measured. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, direct and immediate application of FloSeal was associated with a reduction in the amounts of fluid lost into the abdominal cavity (p < 0.01) (19.2 +/- 1.5 versus 25.1 +/- 1.5 g) and enhanced mean arterial pressure at 5, 20, and 30 minutes after injury (p = 0.02), but neither survival time (p = 0.12) nor percent survival (p = 0.17) differed between treated and control groups. CONCLUSIONS: Reductions in fluid loss after liver injury and hemorrhage in FloSeal-treated rats in the absence of additional applied pressure are encouraging, and provide evidence for the ability of FloSeal to reduce blood loss when applied immediately and directly to a bleeding tissue.

A purposive sample of research participants (N = 131| from two military treatment facilities assigned to Great Plains Regional Medical Command responded to an electronic Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index |READI). The READl measures self-reported competencies in six dimensions of nursing readiness. Descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. Although the research surveyed three levels of nursing skills (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing assistant), the study results were noted to be quite parallel across the groups. Significant differences were noted throughout the six dimensions of the READI and between the two military treatment facilities in the dimensions of operational nursing competencies and personal and psychological readiness. Findings support the need for a structured core competency tool to provide succinct focused training to ensure deployment readiness.

It was hypothesized that military hardiness would moderate the effects of deployment stressors on soldier health. In a survey study of 629 U.S. soldiers, deployment stressors, military hardiness, and psychological and physical health were assessed during a peacekeeping deployment. Health was measured again after deployment. Results of moderated regression analyses partially supported the hypotheses: military hardiness moderated the impact of deployment stressors on depression after deployment, after controlling for depression during deployment. Implications for training military hardiness and applications to other occupational settings are discussed.

If they failed the test, then they entered the Fitness Assessment Program (FAP), where they physically trained until they passed the test and subsequently entered BCT. The effectiveness of the FAP was evaluated by examining fitness, injury, and training outcomes. Recruits who failed the test, trained in the FAP, and entered BCT after passing the test were designated the preconditioning (PC) group (64 men and 94 women). Recruits who failed the test but were allowed to enter BCT without going into the FAP were called the no preconditioning (NPC) group (32 men and 73 women). Recruits who passed the test and directly entered BCT were designated the no need of preconditioning (NNPC) group (1,078 men and 731 women). Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and training outcomes were obtained from a company-level database, and injured recruits were identified from cases documented in medical records. The proportions of NPC, PC, and NNPC recruits who completed the 9-week BCT cycle were 59%, 83%, and 87% for men (p < 0.01) and 52%, 69%, and 78% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Because of attrition, only 63% of the NPC group took the week 7 APFT, compared with 84% and 86% of the PC and NNPC groups, respectively. The proportions of NPC, PC, and NNPC recruits who passed the final APFT after all retakes were 88%, 92%, and 98% for men (p < 0.01) and 89%, 92%, and 97% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Compared with NNPC men, injury risk was 1.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-2.2) and 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-3.1) times higher for PC and NPC men, respectively. Compared with NNPC women, injury risk was 1.2 (95% confidence interval, 0.9-1.6) and 1.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.1-2.1) times higher for PC and NPC women, respectively. This program evaluation showed that low-fit recruits who preconditioned before BCT had reduced attrition and tended to have lower injury risk, compared with recruits of similar low fitness who did not precondition.

AB - Identifying whether there is a nexus between Iraq and Afghanistan combat injuries and civilian violence on return from deployment is complicated by differences in reactions of individuals to combat exposure, the overlapping effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the low base rate of civilian violence after combat exposure. Moreover, the overall prevalence of violence among returning Iraq and Afghanistan combat war veterans has not been well documented. Malingered symptoms and either exaggeration or outright fabrication of war zone exposure are challenges to rendering forensic opinions, with the risk reduced by accessing military documents that corroborate war zone duties and exposure. This article serves as a first step toward understanding what may potentiate violence among returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. We offer a systematic approach toward the purpose of forensic case formulation that addresses whether combat duty/war zone exposure and associated clinical conditions are linked to criminal violence on return to civilian life.

AB - The veteran-forensic interface is an emerging area of relevance to forensic clinicians assessing or treating returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans facing criminal sanctions. Veterans’ Treatment Court (VTC) represents a recent diversion mechanism for low-level offenses that is based on a collaborative justice model. Thirty-nine percent of veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and receiving VA services reside in rural areas. Rural veterans facing criminal justice charges may be at a disadvantage due to limited access to forensic psychiatrists with relevant expertise in providing veterans services for diversion. Therefore, widening the pool of forensic clinicians who have such expertise, as well as knowledge of the signature wounds of the wars as related to aggression and reckless behavior is necessary. This article presents an overview of VTCs and discusses the role of forensic clinicians as stakeholders in this process.

The device consists of a layer of rectangular single-crystal piezoelectric fibers in an epoxy matrix, packaged between interdigitated electrode polyimide films. Quasistatic free- strain measurements of the single-crystal device are compared with measurements from geometrically identical specimens incorporating polycrystalline PZT-5A and PZT-5H piezo-ceramic fibers. Free-strain actuation of the single-crystal actuator at low bipolar electric fields (±250 V/mm) is ≈400% greater than that of the baseline PZT-5A piezoceramic device, and 200% greater than that of the PZT-51-I device. Free-strain actuation under high unipolar electric fields (0-4 kV/mm) is ≈200% of the PZT-5A baseline device, and 150% of the PZT-5H alternate piezoceramic device. Performance increases at low field are qualitatively consistent with predicted increases based on scaling the low-field d33 piezoelectric constants of the respective piezoelectric materials. High-field increases are much less than scaled d33 estimates, but appear consistent with high-field free-strain measurements reported for similar bulk single-crystal and piezoceramic compositions. Measurements of single-crystal actuator capacitance and coupling coefficient are also provided. These properties were poorly predicted using scaled bulk material dielectric and coupling coefficient data. Rule-of-mixture calculations of the effective elastic properties of the single-crystal device and estimated actuation work energy densities are also presented. Results indicate longitudinal stiffnesses significantly lower (50% less) than either piezoceramic device. This suggests that single-crystal piezocomposite actuators will be best suited to low induced-stress, high strain, and deflection applications.

Over the past several years the Office of the Secretary of Defense, in partnership with each of the services, sponsored a performance-oriented assessment effort called the Tri-Service Assessment Initiative (TAI) that has provided some answers to this question. The initiative was based on a flexible, expert assessment methodology consistently applied to a wide scope of DoD programs. The assessment process allowed for valid cross-program quantification and evaluation of recurring or systemic program issues across the assessed program base. As this systemic analysis capability matured, both DoD program and enterprise managers brought critical "analysis questions" to the systemic analysis team. One of the most significant of these centered on what were the impact of process improvement investments across the DoD infrastructure? In this article, we will provide a summary of how the results of the DoD Cross-Program systemic analysis helped provide some insight into the causes of the recurring process shortfalls in DoD programs.

To isolate the impact of race and gender on sentencing, economic, individual, crime, county and court-specific intervening characteristics are considered in the context of a multivariate model that incorporates both the probability that an individual is incarcerated as well as the length of the sentence. Results indicate that gender disparity is not present in Mississippi's criminal sentencing process, but racial disparity does exist (Z0).

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/12//12/1/2005 VL - 39 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 9049 EP - 9056 SN - 0013936X AB - Prescribed burning is a significant source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the southeastern United States. However, limited data exist on the emission characteristics from this source. Various organic and inorganic compounds both in the gas and particle phase were measured in the emissions of prescribed burnings conducted at two pine-dominated forest areas in Georgia. The measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PM2.5 allowed the determination of emission factors for the flaming and smoldering stages of prescribed burnings. The VOC emission factors from smoldering were distinctly higher than those from flaming except for ethene, ethyne, and organic nitrate compounds. VOC emission factors show that emissions of certain aromatic compounds and terpenes such as α and β-pinenes, which are important precursors for secondary organic aerosol (SOA), are much higher from active prescribed burnings than from fireplace wood and laboratory open burning studies. Levoglucosan is the major particulate organic compound (POC) emitted for all these studies, though its emission relative to total organic carbon (mg/g OC) differs significantly. Furthermore, cholesterol, an important fingerprint for meat cooking, was observed only in our in situ study indicating a significant release from the soil and soil organisms during open burning. Source apportionment of ambient primary fine particulate OC measured at two urban receptor locations 20-25km downwind yields 74 ±11% during and immediately after the burns using our new in situ profile. In comparison with the previous source profile from laboratory simulations, however, this OC contribution is on average 27 ±5% lower.

Equilibrium adsorption capacities and heats of adsorption are important parameters for process analysis and design. Experimental adsorption isotherms were thus obtained for relevant organic vapors with activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) and coal-derived activated carbon adsorbents (COAC). The Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) equation was used to describe the adsorption isotherms. The DA parameters were analytically and experimentally shown to be temperature independent The resulting DA equations were used with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to analytically determine the isosteric heat of adsorption (ΔHs) of the adsorbate-adsorbent systems studied here. ACFC showed higher adsorption capacities for organic vapors than CDAC. ΔHs values for the adsorbates were independent of the temperature for the conditions evaluated. ΔHs values for acetone and benzene obtained in this study are comparable with values reported in the literature. This is the first time that ΔHs values for organic vapors and these adsorbents are evaluated with an expression based on the Polanyi adsorption potential and the Clausius- Clapeyron equation.

This research investigated an alternative strategy of using emulsions to stabilize radioactive particulate contamination. Emergency response personnel would coat surfaces with emulsions consisting of asphalt or tall oil pitch to prevent migration of contamination. The site can then be evaluated and cleaned up as needed. In order for this approach to be effective, the treatment must eliminate migration of the radioactive agents in the terror device. Water application is an environmental condition that could promote migration into the external environment This research investigated the potential for water, and correspondingly contaminant, migration through two emulsions consisting of Topein, a resinous byproduct during paper manufacture. Topein C is an asphaltic-based emulsion and Topein S is a tall oil pitch, nonionic emulsion. Experiments included water adsorption! mobilization studies, filtration tests, and image analysis of photomicrographs from an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and a stereomicroscope. Both emulsions were effective at reducing water migration. Conductivity estimates were on the order of 10-8 cm s-1 for Topein C and 10-7 cm s-1 for Topein S. Water mobility depended on emulsion flocculation and coalescence time. Photomicrographs indicate that Topein S consisted of greater and more interconnected porosity. Dilute foams of isolated spherical gas cells formed when emulsions were applied to basic surfaces. Gas cells rose to the surface and ruptured, leaving void spaces that penetrated throughout the emulsion. These experiments indicate that emulsions may be a viable means for containing RDD residuals; however, improvements are needed for optimal performance.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/05/15/ VL - 39 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3756 EP - 3761 SN - 0013936X AB - A miniaturized lead sensor has been developed by combining a lead-specific DNAzyme with a microfabricated device containing a network of microfluidic channels that are fluidically coupled via a nanocapillary array interconnect A DNAzyme construct selective for cleavage in the presence of Pb2+ and derivatized with fluorophore (quencher) at the 5' (3') end of the substrate and enzyme strands, respectively, forms a molecular beacon that is used as the recognition element. The nanocapillary array membrane interconnect is used to manipulate fluid flows and deliver the small-volume sample to the beacon in a spatially confined detection window where the DNAzyme is interrogated using laser-induced fluorescence detection. A transformed log plot of the fluorescent signal exhibits a linear response (r² = 0.982) over a Pb2+ concentration range of 0.1 -100 μM, and a detection limit of 11 nM. The sensor has been applied to the determination of Pb2+ in an electroplating sludge reference material, the result agreeing with the certified value within 4.9%. Quantitative measurement of Pb2+ in this complex sample demonstrates the selectivity of this sensor scheme and points favorably to the application of such technologies to analysis of environmental samples. The unique combination of a DNAzyme with a microfluidic-nanofluidic hybrid device makes it possible to change the DNAzyme to select for other compounds of interest and to incorporate multiple sensing systems within a single device for greater flexibility. This work represents the initial steps toward creation of a robust field sensor for lead in groundwater or drinking water.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/04/15/ VL - 39 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2880 EP - 2887 SN - 0013936X AB - This work examines the effects of adding coke or activated carbon on the bioavailability of polychiorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in contaminated sediment from South Basin at Hunters Point, San Francisco Bay. We show with 28-day sediment exposure tests that PCB bioaccumulation in a polychaete (Neanthes are naceodentata) is reduced by 82% following 1-month contact of sediment with activated carbon and by 87% following 6-months contact of sediment with activated carbon. PCB bioaccumulation in an amphipod (Leptocheirus plumulosus) is reduced by 70% following 1-month contact of sediment with activated carbon and by 75% after 6-months contact of sediment with activated carbon. Adding coke had a negligible effect on reducing PCB bioaccumulation, probably because of the low specific surface area and the slow kinetics of PCB diffusion into the solid coke particles. Reductions in congener bioaccumulation with activated carbon were inversely related to congener Kow, suggesting that the efficacy of activated carbon is controlled by the mass-transfer rate of PCBs from sediment and into activated carbon. We find that reductions in aqueous PCB concentrations in equilibrium with the sediment were similar to reductions in PCB bioaccumulation. While no lethality was observed following activated carbon addition, growth rates were reduced by activated carbon for the polychaete, but not for the amphipod, suggesting the need for further study of the potential impacts of activated carbon on exposed communities. The study suggests that treatment of the biologically active layer of contaminated sediments with activated carbon may be a promising in- situ technique for reducing the bioavailability of sediment- associated PCBs and other hydrophobic organic compounds.

T1 - THE PROBLEM OF PHASE IV: A Case Study Analysis of Building a Society in Northern Iraq. JO - Public Performance & Management Review JF - Public Performance & Management Review Y1 - 2005/12// VL - 29 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 217 EP - 242 SN - 15309576 AB - How does a military force achieve the necessary results for victory in combat operations, which may result in the destruction of critical infrastructure in a nation, and then build democratic societal institutions from the ground up? Modern military operations consist of a linear progression of activities that include detailed planning, deployment of forces, preparation for combat, combat, reconsolidation, declaring victory, and then redeployment back to home station. The problem of rebuilding that society—Phase IV in Operation Iraqi Freedom—requires a nonlinear approach to building the institutions of society with multiple simultaneous actions among diplomatic, informational, military, and economic realms. This paper examines a case study of "stability operations" in Northern Iraq by the 101st Airborne Division after major combat operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom. An analysis of the actions of the U.S. Army to develop societal institutions while maintaining security in Iraq focuses on the identification of ends, ways, and means of disparate simultaneous objectives. A key focus of the paper is the implementation of plans to develop a societal structure within political constraints, in which actions in one realm (e.g., economic development) have unanticipated second and third order effects in other realms (e.g., diplomatic, informational, and military). Finally, I conclude with an assessment of the planning and implementation of stability operations in regard to linear planning, Charles Lindblom's (1959) "muddling through," Herbert Simon's (1976) "bounded rationality," and complexity theory.

Undetermined at this point is the environmental impact of the new digital economy and the economic profile of resulting distribution networks. This study develops and employs an integrated modeling framework to compare the environmental impacts of a traditional business strategy with an e-commerce strategy for the personal computer industry. Ecological factors are evaluated to provide an overall comparison of the 2 business strategies over the product?s life cycle. Of particular importance are factors relating to the distribution of products through their supply chains. This study?s integrated modeling framework includes a simulation component to address the stochastic modeling environment caused by business uncertainty. Also included is an environmental input?output life cycle assessment model to quantify the full direct and indirect impacts of different business strategies. Outputs from this model include measures of electricity, natural gas, fuel and packaging expended, retail and warehouse space used, energy expenditures, vehicle emissions, and 20 different pollutants resulting from different business strategies. Results of the study suggest 40% to 50% reduction in life cycle energy and pollutant expenditures with e-commerce in the personal computer industry.

The problems come up in the context of investigating gun tube accuracy of an M1 Series tank; in particular, for the study of tube-to-tube dispersion. Factors that affect tube-to-tube variability might include the tanks, ammunition lot, ammunition temperature, firing occasions, and so on. Some of these are fixed factors, and others are random factors. The inference problems that arise in the study of tube-to-tube dispersion are somewhat different from those usually encountered in typical ANOVA situations. A unified approach to solving these problems is presented using the concepts of generalized p values and generalized confidence intervals. The performance of the resulting tests and confidence intervals is numerically investigated and is found to be quite satisfactory. Analysis of some Army test data is presented to illustrate the results.

New techniques were used to demonstrate the detectable persistence of mustard metabolites in the patient's blood for at least 41 days after exposure, validating these techniques for the first time for a human mustard patient; they were also used for the first time with human mustard blister fluid. The techniques extend eightfold the period of time that mustard exposure can be definitively diagnosed, compared with previous techniques. Although this patient's lesions were never life-threatening, he required 2 weeks of intensive burn care. He has been left with ongoing posttraumatic stress disorder and has had an incomplete dermatological recovery. In a major terrorist attack involving many patients exposed to sulfur mustard, care resources would be depleted quickly.

Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 1,532 soldiers after they completed a biannual APFT. Self-reported injury responses determined the rates of injuries resulting from the push-up, sit-up, and 2-mile run events and were classified into three categories, i.e., all injuries, performance-limiting injuries, and time-loss injuries. Results: A total of 117 soldiers (injury rate, 7.6%) reported sustaining an injury (all injuries), with 11% attributed to the push-up event, 56% to the sit-up event, and 32% to the run event. Forty-six of these injuries reportedly limited performance (injury rate, 3.0%), and 11 soldiers received a duty-limiting profile (time-loss injury rate, 0.7%), which did not differ among events. Injury rates were not significantly associated with the number of sit-ups performed per week or the number of days per week a soldier participated in physical training and were not greater for soldiers who trained specifically for the APFT. History of previous injury was a significant risk factor for injury. Conclusion: The push-up, sit-up, and run events of the APFT do not pose a considerable acute injury risk to active duty soldiers.

It is imperative that health care organizations adopt some form of business strategy to manage the vast amount of information available. Two of the more popular strategies among health care organizations are the Balanced Scorecard and Total Quality Management. Which one of the strategies is best for an organization? The answer to this question is that it depends on the organization. This article provides the fundamentals of each strategy and contrasts their strengths and weaknesses, so that interested organizations can make informed decisions regarding the best strategy for each organization.

Methods: An OHT was self-applied by 26 subjects, to maximal tolerable tightness, to the proximal arm or thigh under different conditions and positions, and the presence of blood flow was assessed using Doppler ultrasonography or occlusion plethysmography. Results: Doppler sound was eliminated at the radial artery for all subjects with OHT application but was not stopped at the popliteal or dorsalis pedis artery for any subjects. The OHT reduced forearm blood flow by 79% but decreased leg blood flow by only ~50%, regardless of condition and position of application to the thigh. Conclusions: The OHT appears to effectively minimize blood flow in the arm but not in the lower extremities, and clinical assessment of blood flow disappearance by Doppler ultrasonography may underestimate the magnitude of actual blood flow to the limb.

However, a great deal of confusion exists among soldiers, medics, and military medical officers on a number of tourniquet-related issues. What is an appropriate combat tourniquet? When is it appropriate to use a tourniquet? When and by whom should a tourniquet be removed? Under what conditions should a tourniquet not be released or removed? What are the most effective ways to increase limb salvage while using a tourniquet? These and other issues were addressed by a panel of experts at the 2003 Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care Conference, August 21 and 23, 2003, St. Pete Beach, Florida. Here we review those issues and present a summary of the panel's recommendations. SN - 0026-4075 AD - U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Combat Casualty Care Research Program, 3400 Rawley E.

This temporizing maneuver could be useful during cannot-intubate or -ventilate scenarios by resolving hypoxia without the morbidity associated with more invasive procedures. METHODS: Seven swine for a total of 12 runs were studied. Animals were pharmacologically anesthetized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated with room air. After disconnection from the ventilator and desaturation to an Spo2 < 50%, low-flow TRIO (2 L/min) was administered for 1 hour. RESULTS: All animals survived and Spo2 increased to greater than 90% in 23 seconds on average. Pao2 (mean, 183 mm Hg) remained elevated throughout the study. Hemodynamic stability was maintained for at least 15 minutes. CONCLUSION: Low-flow TRIO rescued animals from profound hypoxia and maintained oxygenation for at least 1 hour. Low-flow TRIO did not prevent hypercarbia with its subsequent sympathetic activation.

The current study was conducted to address concerns related to previous work by using larger sample sizes, and an extended observational period of 4 hours post-injury. The objectives were to evaluate further the hemostatic efficacy and safety of rFVIIa administration after traumatic, uncontrolled hemorrhage. METHODS: Anesthetized, splenectomized pigs (36.6 +/- 0.3 kg; n = 18/group) underwent an approximately 50% isovolemic blood exchange with 33 degrees C 6% hetastarch, and body temperature was adjusted to 32.5 +/- 0.5 degrees C. Subsequently, a Grade V liver injury was inflicted. After 30 seconds, either vehicle or treatment (180 microg/kg or 720 microg/kg rFVIIa) was administered intravenously as a bolus. Concomitantly, laparotomy pads were packed around the liver. Resuscitation with 33 degrees C lactated Ringer's solution (260 mL/min) was initiated and pigs were monitored for 4 hour post-injury or until death. Tissues were collected and examined histologically to assess the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). RESULTS: Liver injuries were comparable among all groups (p = 0.89). Measures associated with in vitro coagulation (prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thromboelastographic split-point and R times) were enhanced by rFVIIa administration (p < 0.05). However, neither percent survival (p = 0.82), survival time (p = 0.56), nor blood loss (p = 0.63) were affected by treatment. DIC was not evident in lung or kidney tissue. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate an inability of rFVIIa at these doses to reduce blood loss, or to increase survival time or percent survival in this pig model. Absence of DIC provides evidence for safe use of rFVIIa under conditions specific to this study.

The U.S. Army recently distributed fibrin sealant (under an Investigational New Drug-approved protocol) and chitosan dressings among deployed medics for treating severe external hemorrhage on the battlefield. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of these dressings, as compared with the standard gauze army field dressing, to provide initial and sustained hemostasis up to 96 hours in a lethal uncontrolled arterial hemorrhage model. METHODS: Anesthetized pigs were splenectomized and chronically instrumented for fluid/drug administration and continuous monitoring of vital signs. An infrarenal aortotomy was created using a 4.4-mm aortic hole punch and free bleeding was allowed for 5 seconds. While bleeding profusely, a dressing was applied and pressed into the wound for 4 minutes (occluding the distal flow) and then released. If hemostasis was not obtained, the dressing was replaced with a new one (maximum, two dressings per experiment) with another 4-minute compression. If hemostasis was achieved, the abdomen was closed; the animal was then recovered and monitored up to 96 hours. Initial hemostasis, duration of hemostasis, survival time, blood loss, and other variables were measured. RESULTS: Application of army field dressing (gauze) did not stop the arterial hemorrhage and led to exsanguination of all the pigs (n = 6) within 10 to 15 minutes of the injury. Chitosan dressing produced initial hemostasis in five of seven pigs. However, the dressings failed to maintain hemostasis for more than 1.6 hours (range, 28-102 minutes), resulting in secondary bleeding and death of the animals. Fibrin sealant dressing produced initial hemostasis in all the pigs (n = 6) and maintained hemostasis in five cases, with one failure at 2.2 hours. These pigs resumed normal activities and lived for the 96-hour experiment duration. Computed tomographic images and histologic sections of the aortas from surviving fibrin sealant dressing-treated animals showed formation of pseudoaneurysms and early granulation tissue at the aortotomy site. The posttreatment blood loss, duration of hemostasis, and survival time were significantly different in the fibrin sealant dressing group than the chitosan dressing and army field dressing groups. CONCLUSION: Both chitosan dressing and fibrin sealant dressing stopped initial arterial bleeding that could not be controlled by the standard army field dressing. However, although the fibrin sealant dressing secured hemostasis for up to 4 days, the chitosan dressing consistently failed within 2 hours after application. There may be a risk of rebleeding for high-pressure arterial wounds treated with chitosan dressings, particularly in situations where definitive care is delayed substantially.

Standard statistical methods do not work well when N < M. Development of new methodologies or modification of existing methodologies is needed for the analysis of the microarray data. In this paper, we propose a novel analysis procedure for classifying the gene expression data. This procedure involves dimension reduction using kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and classification with logistic regression (discrimination). KPCA is a generalization and nonlinear version of principal component analysis. The proposed algorithm was applied to five different gene expression datasets involving human tumor samples. Comparison with other popular classification methods such as support vector machines and neural networks shows that our algorithm is very promising in classifying gene expression data.

AB - Approximately 13% of thermally injured patients fail resuscitation, in that they die during the first 48 h postburn despite full resuscitative efforts. The purpose of this study was to characterize these patients, and to develop a predictor of resuscitation failure. METHODS: Records of 3807 thermally injured patients admitted to this burn centre during 1980-1997 were reviewed. Patients were classified as surviving to hospital discharge ('NONFAIL/LIVE'), as surviving resuscitation but dying later ('NONFAIL/DIE'), or as failing resuscitation ('FAIL'). Ordinal logistic regression was used to develop a predictor of membership in each of these three groups. RESULTS: With respect to total burn size, full-thickness burn size, and inhalation injury, the three groups represented a gradation in injury severity from least severe (NONFAIL/LIVE) to most severe (FAIL). The predictive model had an overall accuracy of 91.6%; however, it correctly classified NONFAIL/LIVE patients more often (97.7% accuracy) than it did NONFAIL/DIE patients (57.5%) or FAIL patients (16.1%). CONCLUSION: Patients who failed resuscitation were more severely injured than those who survived resuscitation, but was not possible accurately to predict who will fail resuscitation using data available on admission.

More than 70% of the Army's primary care clinics currently use an antiquated system that inherently provides for a delay of medical services and lacks continuity of care. Although many providers and administrators believe delay and the lack of continuity of care are associated with a lack of resources, many studies prove otherwise. Open access is predicated on the principal that providers do today's work today. Patients calling to schedule an appointment with their provider are offered a same-day appointment. To achieve this, clinic chiefs and administrators must conduct an in-depth analysis of their true demand and current resources. Clinic staffs who have a strong commitment to change will be able to convert to an open access model whereby they are able to increase patient and provider satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to: (1) describe tasks required by different occupational battalions within a Brigade Combat Team; (2) establish the incidence of low back pain (LBP) in each battalion and; (3) determine which tasks predict LBP within the different battalions. This was a prospective cohort study investigating 805 Soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team deployed to Afghanistan for 1 year. Demographic, occupational, and fitness variables were recorded. There was no difference in time spent on fitness training between the battalions. Occupational tasks performed by deployed Soldiers vary in the level of physical demand between battalions. Infantry had the highest fitness score (257); wore the heaviest equipment (70 lb.); spent the most time wearing body armor (49 hours/week), performing dismounted patrol (29 hours/week), and lifting objects (35 hours/week); spent the least amount of time working at a desk (14 hours/week); but had a similar incidence of LBP (77%) compared to other battalions. History of LBP and time spent wearing body armor were the two most consistent predictors of LBP across battalion types.

Refinements included adjustment and addition of categorical age and military beneficiary status for individual patient variables, addition of two beliefs about the care itself, substitution of waiting time variables, and addition of reason for visit situation variables. Hypothesis test results indicated that patient satisfaction constructs were homogeneous across the uniformed services for patients from all service branches, both enrolled and not enrolled within TRICARE regions, and among branch of service medical center, hospital, and clinic facilities. The final attitude model coefficient of multiple determinations obtained was R2 = 0.701 [F(25,154,867) = 14,539.33, p < 0.0001].

This evaluation assessed associations between Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) deployment and post-deployment medical encounters for respiratory symptoms and medical conditions. This retrospective cohort study was conducted among military personnel who, between January 2005 and June 2007, were deployed to either of two locations with burn pits in Iraq, or to either of two locations without burn pits in Kuwait. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated using two nondeployed reference groups. Rates among personnel deployed to burn pit locations were also compared directly to those among personnel deployed to locations without burn pits. Significantly elevated rates of encounters for respiratory symptoms (IRR = 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-1.30) and asthma (IRR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.33-1.78) were observed among the formerly deployed personnel relative to U.S.-stationed personnel. Personnel deployed to burn pit locations did not have significantly elevated rates for any of the outcomes relative to personnel deployed to locations without burn pits. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that OIF deployment is associated with subsequent risk of respiratory conditions. Elevated medical encounter rates were not uniquely associated with burn pits.

There is a question whether IO-administered epinephrine is equivalent to intravenously administered epinephrine during CA. Methods: The question guiding this evidence-based review was as follows: in adults suffering CA given epinephrine via the 10 route, what is the resulting serum concentration of the drug compared to when administered intravenously? A search was conducted and the evidence appraised and leveled. Results: Four animal studies met the inclusion criteria. The sources showed no definitive evidence supporting equivalence between intravenous and 10 epinephrine administered during CA. Intravenously administered epinephrine provides increased and faster appearing serum concentrations than IO-administered epinephrine. Evidence indicated epinephrine given via the sternal 10 route more closely approaches equivalence with intravenously administered epinephrine than when administered by the tibial 10 route. Conclusions: The clinician should consider using proximal 10 infusion sites such as the sternum or humérus when administering advanced cardiac life support drugs to rapidly achieve maximal therapeutic concentrations. Further studies are needed to determine the differences seen when epinephrine is administered by these routes during CA.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 179 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 91 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The dose-response relationship between biomechanical variables and the magnitude of external loads is unclear. The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass.

AB - Purpose: Differences among generations on a wide variety of outcomes are of increasing interest to organizations, practitioners, and researchers alike. The goal of this study was to quantitatively assess the research on generational differences in work-related attitudes and to provide guidance for future research and practice. Design/Methodology/Approach: We conducted a meta-analysis of generational differences on three work-related criteria: job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to turnover. Our review of published and unpublished research found 20 studies allowing for 18 generational pairwise comparisons across four generations (Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials) on these outcomes using 19,961 total subjects. Findings: Corrected mean differences for job satisfaction ranged from .02 to .25, for organizational commitment they ranged from −.22 to .46, and for intent to turnover the range was −.62 to .05. The pattern of results indicates that the relationships between generational membership and work-related outcomes are moderate to small, essentially zero in many cases. Implications: The findings suggest that meaningful differences among generations probably do not exist on the work-related variables we examined and that the differences that appear to exist are likely attributable to factors other than generational membership. Given these results, targeted organizational interventions addressing generational differences may not be effective. Originality/Value: This is the first known quantitative review of research on generational differences in the workplace.

AB - Comments on an article by Francis J. Yammarino et al. (see record [rid]2012-29572-002[/rid]). Yammarino et al. pointed out, in studies of leadership our focus has more often than not been on the leader rather than the social context in which leadership occurs. The significance, substantively, of collectivistic approaches to leadership is that they all, in one way or another, attempt to take others into consideration in attempts to account for leader performance. Yammarino et al. summarized the main approaches and their consequences for science and practice well. Their analysis of the significance of collectivistic approaches to leadership makes an important point; that these approaches call for new interventions in leader assessment and development. The four parameters we have just outlined point to one set of interventions that might prove of value. The authors hope that the present effort, along with the work of Yammarino et al., will serve as an impetus for additional research on this model and others within the collectivistic leadership literature.

AB - Three studies test whether the southern route preference, which describes the tendency for route planners to disproportionately select south- rather than north-going routes, can be attributed to regional elevation patterns; specifically, we ask whether this effect replicates in three topographically disparate international regions, one of which is characterized by higher elevations to the north and lower to the south (Padua, Italy), and two characterized by higher elevations to the south and lower to the north (Enschede, Netherlands; Sofia, Bulgaria). In all cases, we found strong evidence that route planners disproportionately select south- rather than north-going routes at rates exceeding chance. We conclude that the southern route preference is driven by strong associations between canonical direction and perceived effort of route traversal; these effects are somewhat perplexing given that such associations are not founded in the reality of physical space.

AB - We develop and test a model linking ethical leadership with unit ethical culture, both across and within organizational levels, examining how both leadership and culture relate to ethical cognitions and behaviors of lower-level followers. The data were collected from 2,572 U.S. Army soldiers representing three organizational levels deployed in combat. Findings provide limited support for simple trickle-down mechanisms of ethical leadership but broader support for a multilevel model that takes into account how leaders embed shared understandings through their influence on the ethical culture of units at various levels, which in turn influence followers' ethical cognitions and behavior. The influences of ethical leadership occur not only directly, among immediate followers within a unit, but also indirectly, across hierarchical levels, through the cascading of ethical culture and senior leaders' influences on subordinate leader behavior. We discuss scholarly and practical implications for understanding how leaders transmit ethical influence both down and across large organizations.

AB - Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among U.S. Army soldiers. Suicide‐related ideation, which is associated with suicide attempts and suicide, can cause considerable distress. In a sample of 1,663 recently redeployed soldiers, we used factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test the associations between combat exposure, unit cohesion, and their interaction in predicting suicide‐related ideation. We found that combat exposure was a significant risk factor for suicide‐related ideation, while unit cohesion was a significant protective factor. The significant interaction between the two factors indicated that soldiers who experienced greater combat exposure but also had higher levels of unit cohesion had relatively lower levels of suicide‐related ideation. In addition, those who had higher levels of combat exposure and lower unit cohesion were most at risk for suicide‐related ideation. Our findings indicate the importance of unit cohesion in protecting soldiers from suicide‐related ideation and suggest a higher risk group of soldiers who should be targeted for interventions.

The authors conducted informal individual and group interviews with spouses, unit family support leaders, unit rear detachment personnel, garrison leaders, and local Army program and service providers. Respondents in the study were asked to indicate the level of distress caused by the following five items: missing the soldier, problems with communication, concerns about the soldier's safety, concerns about the soldier's living conditions, and uncertainty about the length of the deployment. The following sources of social support available to spouses during the deployment were examined: informal sources of support; concerned leadership; and family support groups. The findings suggest that prior life stress, lack of comfort in dealing with Army agencies, and poor post-alert unit climate for families was associated with increased deployment events.

This proposed tool enables the user to properly load aircraft according to the mission and user specifications, so that the minimum amount of time is required to seize all assigned objectives. The methodology is based on a hybrid approach in which the first portion is a mathematical model that provides the optimal manifest under "perfect conditions." This mathematical model is represented by a transportation network, and can be optimized using a transportation algorithm. The optimum solution from the mathematical model is input to a simulation model that introduces the inherent variability induced by wind conditions, drift, aircraft location and speed, and delays between jumper exit times. The simulation returns the expected, best, and worst arrival times to the assigned objectives. This hybrid approach allows a large problem to be solved efficiently with a great deal of time saving.

During that period, the emphasis in quality management shifted away from inspecting quality into the product and refocused on preventing defects through process improvement. Several tools such as statistical process control, flowcharts, check sheets and cause and effect diagrams were promoted as techniques for assisting in the transformation to the process improvement approach. These tools analyze processes to identify potential improvements in the prevention of future defects. After implementing the poka-yoke techniques several significant and quantifiable improvements were noted. The server based poka-yoke devices quantifiably improved inventories, receipt and batch processing. Inventory management is measured in two ways, location survey accuracy and inventory adjustments. Location survey accuracy was approximately 65% prior to the implementation of the poka-yoke techniques. After implementing the use of the bar-code readers, location accuracy increased to 98%.

Practical resolution requires “simple solutions” that are technically feasible, economically sustainable and politically implementable. Here we show an approach to achieve simple solutions to these problems. The approach was derived and tested in two experiments: first to develop verification measures for the Chemical Weapons Convention and subsequently to develop response concepts for biological terrorism. The approach's validity derives from its close relationship to the scientific method in objectively testing results, and its power is achieved by focusing a team of people directly on the problem of interest in the setting of a learning organization. The approach appears to provide access at will of the full human potential to resolve wicked problems and, thereby, yields a general problem solving tool of substantial power.

JO - IEE Proceedings -- Radar, Sonar & Navigation JF - IEE Proceedings -- Radar, Sonar & Navigation Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 151 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 307 EP - 316 SN - 13502395 AB - The authors present a study of the backscattered signatures from various types of land-mines placed either on the Earth's surface or buried underground, and their time-frequency (t- v) distributions. A BoomSAR designed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) transmits ultra- wideband (UWB) signals to a test area to be inspected. The backscattered signals are used to form synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and also the corresponding time-frequency distributions. The t- v plots are generated of the distributions of several mines and ‘confusers’ (i.e. undesirable debris that are similar to mines in terms of amplitude and shape). For both metal and plastic mines, SAR images are generated and the t- v distributions are obtained using the backscattered signals generated by an electromagnetic (EM) numerical model and are compared against the measured data. Time-frequency characteristics of mines and confusers that may be useful for demining purposes are investigated. Although measurements and EM predictions show good agreement in most cases, the main purpose of the work is to obtain the characteristics of the t- v distributions of the actual (dielectric and conducting) mines used, as well as those of the ‘confusers’ so that they can be distinguished from the true mines. This has been achieved in all cases shown, and many distinctive features of each have been identified. These could later be used for the development of automated algorithms for in-situ mine detection and could be combined with alternative approaches that have also shown promise for classification purposes, as planned for future research.

JO - Journal of Organizational Behavior JF - Journal of Organizational Behavior Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 26 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 56 SN - 08943796 AB - We tested the impact of teammates' team and task mental model sharedness on team processes and performance using 70 undergraduate teams that completed a series of missions on a PC-based flight simulator. Moreover, we considered how the quality of mental models might moderate such relationships. Team processes were found to partially mediate the relationship between task mental model sharedness and team performance. Although team mental model sharedness failed to exhibit a significant linear relationship with team processes or performance, it did evidence a multiplicative relationship as moderated by the quality of those models. Team processes and performance were better among teams sharing higher-quality team mental models than among teams evidencing less sharedness or who had lower-quality models. Again, team processes partially mediated these relationships. Results are discussed in terms of the equifinality of mental model quality and applications to various team environments.

Subordinates react to these attempts, either by facilitating implementation or by resisting it. This research examined both implementation tactics and resistance tactics. The first of two studies found that the implementation tactics used by Army leaders are highly similar to those that have been reported previously for civilian leaders, except that training is used as an implementation tactic in the Army but not in civilian organizations. Army subordinates' tactics are similar to, but more limited than, those previously described for civilian subordinates. The second study found that Army leaders' ratings of the various implementation tactics differed as a function of leadership experience and the presence or absence of subordinate resistance to the proposed change. Army subordinates' ratings of tactics for dealing with proposed changes differed as a function of the subordinates' acceptance of or resistance to the proposed change.

While identification is considered important to the organization, it has not been clearly operationalized. The current study tests a proposed model of organizational identification. Self-report data from 297 alumni of an all-male religious college indicate that identification with the alma mater was associated with: (1) the hypothesized organizational antecedents of organizational distinctiveness, organizational prestige, and (absence of) intraorganizational competition, but not with interorganizational competition, (2) the hypothesized individual antecedents of satisfaction with the organization, tenure as students, and sentimentality, but not with recency of attendance, number of schools attended, or the existence of a mentor, and (3) the hypothesized outcomes of making financial contributions, willingness to advise one's offspring and others to attend the college, and participating in various school functions. The findings provide direction for academic administrators seeking to increase alumni support, as well as for corporate managers concerned about the loyalty of workers in an era of mergers and takeovers.

The SRCFP is a NP-hard discrete optimization problem for leveling a construction project site, where the objective is to find a vehicle route that minimizes the total distance traveled by a single earthmoving vehicle between cut and fill locations. An optimal vehicle route is a route that minimizes the total haul distance that a single earthmoving vehicle travels. Simulated annealing algorithms are formulated to address the SRCFP. To assess the effectiveness of simulated annealing on the SRCFP, a greedy algorithm is constructed to compute an upper bound and the Held–Karp 1-tree lower bound is used to compute a lower bound. Extensive computational results are reported using several randomly generated instances of the SRCFP.

It is shown that any single or multi-attribute decision analysis value (or utility) function can be transformed to a response function of the uncertain variables. A sensitivity analysis framework designed to facilitate simultaneous perturbation of a number of uncertain variables is proposed. Specifically, RSM is used with influence diagrams, but the methodology can also be used with decision trees. This approach is illustrated with the well-known Oil Wildcatter Problem. This new framework exceeds the current sensitivity analysis capability of decision analysis software tools. The approach is shown to be more efficient than current DA sensitivity analysis techniques and can provide improved insights for decision makers.

Significant uncertainties exist about future political military states of the world and the value of these future systems may depend on which state(s) of the world eventually occur. Multi-objective decision analysis can be used to evaluate the future contribution of R&D concepts to military objectives. Scenarios (or alternate futures) are a key decision analysis technique to examine the uncertain future. The standard approach to uncertainty is to identify mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive outcomes and assign probabilities to each outcome. Unfortunately, the descriptions of possible futures are seldom collectively exhaustive. A sensitivity analysis approach is developed using different multi-objective weights for each of several alternate futures. Sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the R&D concepts that are the most robust across the alternate futures. This sensitivity analysis approach has been successfully used on two major studies, SPACECAST 2020 and Air Force 2025.

Experiment 1 found that an experimental manipulation of opponent trustworthiness influenced the tendency of both groups and individuals to cooperate but had no significant effect on the tendency of groups and individuals to compete -- possibly because of the perceived unfairness of competing with a trustworthy other. Experiment 2 found that an experimental manipulation of categorization increased the tendency of same-category groups and individuals to cooperate (as in Experiment 1) and also increased the tendency of same-category groups, but not individuals, to compete (unlike in Experiment 1). It was further found that the tendency of same-category groups to compete more than same-category individuals was relatively stronger for participants high in guilt proneness.

Four archival studies and 3 experiments supported this hypothesis. Studies 1-4 showed that people are disproportionately likely to marry others whose first or last names resemble their own. Studies 5-7 provided experimental support for implicit egotism. Participants were more attracted than usual to people (a) whose arbitrary experimental code numbers resembled their own birthday numbers, (b) whose surnames shared letters with their own surnames, and (c) whose jersey number had been paired, subliminally, with their own names. Discussion focuses on implications for implicit egotism, similarity, and interpersonal attraction.

Hence, structuring social situations that prompt people to keep their self-enhancing beliefs in check can confer personal and interpersonal advantages. The authors examined whether accountability can serve this purpose. Accountability was defined as the expectation to explain, justify, and defend one's self-evaluations (grades on an essay) to another person ("audience"). Experiment 1 showed that accountability curtails self-enhancement. Experiment 2 ruled out audience concreteness and status as explanations for this effect. Experiment 3 demonstrated that acconntability-induced self-enhancement reduction is due to identifiability. Experiment 4 documented that identifiability decreases self-enhancement because of evaluation expectancy and an accompanying focus on one's weaknesses.

Biernat, M. Manis, & T. E. Nelson, 1991) as it applies to sex- and race-based stereotyping of self and others in the military. U.S. Army officers attending a leadership training course made judgments of their own and their groupmates' leadership competence at 3 time points over a 9-week period. We examined the effects of officer sex and race on both subjective (rating) and objective/common-rule (ranking/Q-sort) evaluations. Stereotyping generally increased with time, and in accordance with the shifting standards model, pro-male judgment bias was more evident in rankings than in ratings, particularly for White targets. Self-judgments were also affected by sex-based shifting standards, particularly in workgroups containing a single ("solo") woman. Differential standard use on the basis of race was less apparent, a finding attributed to the Army's explicit invocation against the use of differential race-based standards.

We review the question of whether such monitoring is lawful. Recent e-mail monitoring cases are viewed as a progression from cases involving more established technologies (i.e., phone calls, internal memoranda, faxes and voice mail). The central focus of the paper is on the extent to which employer monitoring of employee e-mail presents a structure of costs and benefits to the employer which are unlikely to make such a practice profitable or practical to the employer. The practice of employer monitoring to detect illicit employee behavior (e.g., fraud, harassment of fellow employees, industrial espionage) is considered. It is argued that not only does such monitoring behavior fall short of the standard imposed by Kant's categorical imperative for ethical behavior, monitoring also fails to meet Aristotle's ethical standard of practical wisdom. Other ethical aspects of employer monitoring are considered.

JO - European Journal of Operational Research JF - European Journal of Operational Research Y1 - 1992/05/11/ VL - 58 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 318 EP - 334 SN - 03772217 AB - Accurate forecasts of hydrological and hydraulic conditions used in planning for the maintenance of navigation channels are important for ensuring safe and cost efficient water borne transportation. The uncertainties inherent in forecasting and in the availability and operating conditions of dredges make planning difficult and may require that an uncertainty assessment be integrated into the planning process for dredging activities. This paper develops a reliability based dynamic dredging decision model that employs a simulation-optimization approach combining a hydrological simulation model of stochastic channel conditions with a dynamic location model to schedule the optimal deployment and activity levels for dredges. The benefits of this type of approach are demonstrated by application to the problem of allocating different types and sizes of dredges in order to maintain a required channel depth over time and under different reliability levels. The amounts to be dredged at any given location are incorporated into the model as chance constraints that are dependant upon the stochastic hydrologic and hydraulic channel conditions. The multiobjective optimization model assigns demobilization and mobilization costs in periods when a facility is moved from one location to another, and allows for advanced maintenance dredging, 'over-dredging' in some time periods, in order to reduce overall costs. The dredging costs considered in the model are comprised of Fixed costs - assessed each period and varying by size and type of dredge employed, variable costs - dependant upon the amount of material dredged in any month, and mobilization and demobilization costs - incurred each time a dredge is moved to a new location. The multiobjective framework evaluates explicitly the manner in which dredging costs vary under different levels of reliability for maintaining the required channel depth.

Convergence is certain only for the convex case (Math. Oper. Res. 10 (1985) 515), but the algorithm often works in practice for nonconvex problems as well (SIAM J. Control Optim. 23 (1985) 657). Shah''s algorithm (Comput. Oper. Res. 20 (2001) 85) modifies the classical method to permit the solution of nonlinear programs including equality constraints. This paper describes a robust restarting procedure for Shah''s algorithm and investigates two active set strategies to improve computational efficiency. Experimental results are presented to show the new algorithm is effective, and usually faster than Shah''s algorithm, for a wide variety of convex and nonconvex nonlinear programs with inequality and equality constraints. We also demonstrate that the algorithm can be used to solve systems of nonlinear equations and inequalities, including Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions.: Scope and purposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe an ellipsoid algorithm using two active set strategies, and to provide a careful experimental characterization of its performance on a significant set of general nonlinear programming test problems.

(Here 'Joint' refers to advertising designed to serve recruitment for all four services simultaneously. Service Specific refers to advertising administered separately by each of the four services.) These regression approaches and the data and models are examined with special reference to US Army recruitment. The WCAR study led to a recommendation to replace Service Specific with Joint advertising. This recommendation was called into question by the RAND Corporation in its study that used a different regression approach. A third study that combines regressions with data envelopment analysis (DEA) is presented in this paper. This study utilizes recently developed methods based on DEA which, when incorporated in the regression, make it possible to distinguish between efficient and inefficient performances. The resulting regression yields results that show Joint advertising to be not only less efficient but also to attract potential recruits from the Army to other services. Implications for further research are set forth, which can also cast light on commercial practice by regarding Joint as a type of `category advertising' and Service Specific as a type of `brand advertising'.

It also should be an inherently critical process that liberates policymakers from incorrect, antiquated, or misconceived perceptions. Therefore the U.S. strategic community engages in a never-ending debate over the nature of the threats confronting America. In recent years the term asymmetric threat has become something of a mantra covering every kind of threat even to the degree of labeling the German offensives of 1918 as asymmetric. This essay is an extended critique of the way in which we think about asymmetric threats and argues for a different way of perceiving and analyzing the threats we face. Even if the kinds of threats we face are serious and real, mislabeling and misconceiving them does a disservice to U.S. strategy and policy. Thus new thinking about the nature of the threat is called for.

Even though the latter two initiatives are progressing well, the issue of capabilities could become the Achilles Heel of the NATO Alliance unless a corrective course is made. Generally, European states show little inclination to improve their military capabilities for the betterment of the Alliance, and the European Union Rapid Reaction Force is well on its way to becoming a white elephant for European security and defense policy, as well as a Trojan horse for NATO. On the other hand, NATO's streamlining of its military structure and the establishment of a response force provide the Alliance with a veritable expeditionary capability. These reforms place NATO on the cusp of equality with the United States as a security partner, but under its current military structure, the issue of capabilities will keep it from crossing the final hurdle. A fundamental overhaul of NATO's military structure is called for. Under the aegis of collective contributions for collective defense, downsizing the Alliance to nine integrated multinational divisions, each located in a division-sized base, would permit greater interoperability and burden sharing among NATO members as well as realize tremendous cost savings. Each member would contribute military forces according to its size and relative wealth rather than maintaining a standing army for potential crises. In the end, NATO would be able to enjoy a collective defense dividend that has eluded it for centuries, while making a significant contribution to global security.

A research and development (R&D) case study describes the application of these techniques to the selection of the design for a new cargo/passenger aircraft. QFD provides a process for maintaining the voice of the customer, structuring the information in a concise format, developing teamwork, and improving communication. DA improves the quality of decisions by providing the decision maker with a better understanding of his values, insights into value trade-offs, an understanding of major uncertainties, and the value of additional information. In this study, we found many similarities between the two techniques; however, for multiobjective decisions, decision analysis provides some significant advantages for generating alternatives and performing analysis. We recommend combining the best features of QFD and DA for R&D decision making.

In addition to consuming up to 60% of the energy needed by automobile assembly plants, however, the painting process also creates both economic and environmental impacts. This study investigated the degree of cost and environmental impact improvement that can be expected when modifications are considered for existing paint processes through heat integration. In order to accomplish this goal, a mathematical model was created to describe the energy use, costs, and environmental impacts from energy consumption in an automobile assembly painting facility. The model agrees with measured energy consumption data for process heating and electricity demand to within about 15% for one Michigan truck facility from which model input parameters were obtained. Thermal pinch analysis determined an energy conservation target of 58% of paint process energy demand. A heat exchanger network optimization study was conducted in order to determine how closely the network design could achieve this target. The resulting heat exchanger network design was profitable based on a discounted cash flow analysis and may achieve reductions in total corporate energy consumption of up to 16% if implemented corporatewide at a major automobile manufacturer.

On the one hand, it is difficult to speak meaningfully about information assurance without some understanding of the technical aspects of information networks. On the other, if only technical aspects are covered students will not be prepared to address the economic, political, and even ethical issues associated with policy in this area. This paper discusses the efforts of two educators with backgrounds in computer science and political science to create a course to address this educational need. The course uses a variety of techniques to integrate the issues essential to thinking about strategy and security in cyberspace. In a society growing ever more dependent on information technologies, competence in this area will become increasingly important and a valuable component of an undergraduate education.

This paper will describe recent advances in high energy density (HED) biaxially-oriented poly-propylene (BOPP) capacitors. Intermediate energy storage for many pulse power loads is achieved through the use of high energy-density thin-film capacitors, currently utilizing BOPP as the dielectric film of choice. Recent advances in HED BOPP capacitors over the last decade have resulted in the energy density more than doubling from ~0.5 J/cc in the early 1990s to ~1.2 J/cc in the 2003-2004 timeframe while still possessing reasonable direct current (dc) life and shot life. Further research has resulted in RED capacitors with energy densities of 2.0 J/cc at reduced shot and dc life levels which are candidates for applications in which the number of shots are not critical to the application. Current research and development efforts through SAIC and Advance Capacitor Inc/ICAR (ACI/ICAR) are being pursued with the goal of developing >1.8 J/cc while maintaining reasonable dc and shot life. In addition, efforts are also ongoing to develop exceptionally long dc-life HED capacitors.

Within each grade level participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental groups received a three-week instructional unit of cup stacking. The control groups received the standard physical education curriculum. All participants completed pretests and posttests on three tasks designed to measure hand-eye coordination. The results indicated significantly faster performance for older children than younger children for all three tasks. None of the tasks were statistically influenced by the cup stacking unit. Overall, the results of this study indicate that participation in a three-week instructional unit does not significantly improve hand-eye coordination in elementary age children.

Background: A 21-year-old, 118-pound wrestler sustained an avulsion of the inferior canaliculus of the right eye during a match. The injury resulted when the athlete was struck on the right cheek by the opponent's head, producing an inferior and lateral force. Following the initial control of hemorrhage, the athlete was permitted to complete the match. Upon initial evaluation, it was determined that the medial aspect of the lower right lid had been avulsed. The injury was approximately 1 cm in length. The athlete completed the match before being referred to the hospital for further evaluation. Differential Diagnosis: Avulsion of the medial one-sixth of the lower right eyelid, involving damage to the inferior canaliculus and complete avulsion of the inferior medial canthal tendon. Treatment: Surgical intervention was indicated in order to restore the lacrimal drainage system and to ensure patency of the inferior canaliculus. A bicanalicular silicon intubation procedure was utilized by the physician. Initial postoperative treatment included the application of topical antibiotics for seven days. The athlete was permitted to return to full participation within 1 week with the use of a wrestling face mask. The superficial sutures were removed 14 days following surgery and at that time the athlete was cleared for unrestricted activity. The silicon-reinforced medial canthal tendon suture was removed 6 weeks following surgical repair. The bicanalicular silicon stent was removed 6 months following initial injury and surgical intervention. No complications were noted throughout the 6-month postoperative stage or at the time of a follow-up interview 2 years postinjury. Uniqueness: This is a relatively uncommon injury to encounter in athletics and one that has not been well addressed in the of existing sports medicine literature. Conclusions: When injury to the medial aspect of the eye occurs, recognition of the potential for lacrimal system involvement is essential. Therefore, the athletic trainer should be familiar with the anatomy of the lacrimal system and the potential for such injuries.

METHODS: Quality indicators for processes and outcomes of care were obtained from a computerized system-wide database by patient administration and utilization management personnel unaware of this study and without connection to or interests in guideline implementation. These indicators were compared before and after guideline implementation. RESULTS: After the asthma CPG, nebulizer treatments, emergency department visits, and admissions decreased significantly (p < 0.001 for all three) and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Periodic measurements of lung function and controller medication prescriptions were unchanged. After the diabetes mellitus CPG, microalbumin screens and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor prescriptions and yearly foot examinations decreased significantly, along with the percentage of patients with blood pressure of < or = 130/85 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Mean hemoglobin A(1C) levels did not change significantly. After the tobacco cessation CPG, screening and education increased significantly (p < 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The asthma CPG improved some processes and all outcomes. The diabetes CPG improved two of the eight measured processes but had no effect on outcomes. Education and screening, but not counseling, improved with the tobacco CPG. CPGs appear to improve diagnostic and educational processes more than provider-dependent treatment processes. Outcomes were improved after implementation of the asthma CPG but not after the diabetes CPG. SN - 0026-4075 AD - U.S. Army Medical Department Activity, Heidelberg, Germany U2 - PMID: 15828703.

AB - The purpose of this investigation was to determine the test-retest reliability and coefficient of variation of 2 novel physical performance tests. Ten healthy men (22.0 +/- 3.0 years, 87.0 +/- 8.0 kg, 20.0 +/- 5.0% body fat) performed 30 continuous and dynamic jump squats (JS) and bench throws (BT) on 4 separate occasions. The movements were performed under loaded conditions utilizing 30% of subject's predetermined 1 repetition maximum in the back squat and bench press. Mean power (MP; W), peak power (PP; W), mean velocity (MV; m.s(-1)), peak velocity (PV; m.s(-1)), and total work (TW; J) were assessed using a ballistic measurement system (Innervations Inc., Muncie, IN). Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance with Duncan's post hoc test when mean differences were p < or = 0.05. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and within-subject coefficient of variation (CV%) were also calculated. All values are presented as mean +/- SE. BT variables were statistically similar across the 4 sessions: MP (350.0 +/- 13.9 W), PP (431.4 +/- 18.5 W) MV (1.6 +/- 0.03 m.s(-1)), PV (2.0 +/- 0.03 m.s(-1)), and TW (199.1 +/- 7.2 J). For JS, session 3 PP (1,669.8 +/- 111.2 W) was significantly greater vs. sessions 1, 2, and 4 (1,601.2 +/- 58.4 W). Session 4 MP (1,403.2 +/- 88.6 W) and MV (1.9 +/- 0.1 m.s(-1)) for JS were significantly lower during sessions 1, 2, and 3 (MP: 1,479.4.5 +/- 44.8 W, MV: 2.0 +/- 0.05 m.s(-1)). TW (834.7 +/- 24.3 J) and PV (2.2 +/- 0.04 m.s(-1)) were statistically similar during all sessions for JS. The CVs ranged from 3.0 to 7.6% for the BT and 3.2 to 5.7% for the JS. ICCs for MP, PP, MV, PV, and TW were 0.92, 0.95, 0.94, 0.91, and 0.95, respectively, during BT. ICCs during JS for MP, PP, MV, PV, and TW were 0.96, 0.98, 0.94, 0.94, and 0.89, respectively. The results of the current study support the use of a 30 continuous and dynamic BT protocol as a reliable upper-body physical performance test, which can be administered with minimal practice. Slightly greater variability for JS was observed, although the test had high reliability.

Methods: Inpatient trauma cases from Army hospitals worldwide from October 1988 through April 2001 were analyzed. Facilities included 3 Certified Trauma Centers (CTCs), 7 non-CTC Army Medical Centers, and 42 Army Community Hospitals. Logistic regression identified mortality risk factors. Results: Overall, the Army treated 166,124 trauma cases, with a mortality rate of 0.8% (trend of 0.66% to 1.18% in fiscal years 1989-2000, p < 0.0001). The number of Army hospitals decreased by 44% and the number of trauma cases decreased by nearly 75%. Injury severity, patient age, hospital trauma volume, beneficiary category, hospital type, and a resource intensity measure were all significantly associated with the probability of death. Conclusions: The overall trauma mortality rate at Army hospitals during the study period was lower than that reported for civilian trauma centers. However, changes in patient profiles, increased average severity, and decreased trauma volume might have contributed to a 13% increase in mortality rates at CTCs.

The article compares peacetime health care systems within the Department of Defense and the formulary systems developed and used within the fixed facility environment with Department of Defense contingency health care operations systems and the complications encountered while attempting formulary development for the deployed environment. Despite great difficulties, the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board developed, published, and marketed a jointly approved, standardized, modernized formulary to assist forces deploying for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The process used by the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board during formulary development is described in detail, giving readers an understanding of the foundations of the Joint Deployment Formulary. The military departments will experience the benefits of enhanced supply chain predictability and responsiveness, increased clinician satisfaction, and improved patient safety and health care quality by implementing the Joint Deployment Formulary for their forces engaged in contingency operations.

METHODS: A case-crossover study was conducted in male and female Marine Corps recruits in basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC. Weather measurements were obtained for 2069 cases of EHI during 1979-1997 and for randomly selected control periods before and after each EHI episode. RESULTS: The risk of EHI increased with WBGT (OR = 1.11 degrees F(-1); 95% CI, 1.10-1.13). EHI risk was associated not only with the WBGT at the time of the event (OR = 1.10 degrees F(-1); 95% CI, 1.08-1.11) but with the previous day's average WBGT as well (OR = 1.03 degrees F(-1); 95% CI, 1.02-1.05). Alternative combinations of WBGT components were identified that better predicted EHI risk. CONCLUSION: Our results provide evidence for a cumulative effect of previous day's heat exposure on EHI risk in these Marine Corps recruits. A simple index for use in predicting EHI risk is proposed that includes the dry-bulb temperature and the relative humidity.

Lactated Ringer's solution (LR) and Hextend at room temperature (20 degreesC) or refrigerated temperature (4-7 degreesC) and packed red blood cells at 4 degreesC to 7 degreesC were used with each warmer at two different flow rates. The FMS 2000 consistently warmed all fluids to approximately 37 degreesC, regardless of the starting temperature or flow rate. The Level 1 and Ranger also efficiently warmed all fluids except cold LR to approximately 37 degreesC. The Thermal Angel generally warmed room temperature fluid, cold Hextend, and packed red blood cells to at least 33 degreesC to 34 degreesC but could not warm cold LR. The clinical standard is to have fluids warmed to 32 degreesC at a minimum and more preferably to 34 degreesC to 35 degreesC. Of the fluid warmers tested, only the Thermal Angel failed to achieve such a temperature in warming cold LR. Data from the present study suggest the Ranger and FMS 2000 to be operationally adaptable to at least echelons 1 and 2, respectively, whereas far-forward use of the Thermal Angel has limitations.

Methods: We designed a customized survey instrument because no preexisting, validated, survey instrument was available. A query was performed in the Medical Operations Data System to identify all captains (O-3) currently on active duty in the Army (N = 348). The survey sample included 64 junior officers with a 2000 date of rank to captain (O-3), of whom only 52 were in the Medical Command Outlook address book or the Army Knowledge Online white pages. The questionnaire was sent out to these targeted junior dental officers through their official e-mail accounts. Dentists assigned to Korea and to dental field units do not use the same e-mail system as the rest of the Dental Command; therefore, their addresses were not available. In an attempt to increase response rates, commanders were asked to emphasize the importance of responding to the questionnaire. Results: From the sample population of 52 officers who were queried directly, 34 responses were received, for a response rate of 65%. However, commanders forwarded the survey to all Dental Command captains and 102 responses were received. The respondents represented 30% of the total Army inventory of captains; 92% of respondents reported that they had dental school loans, with 43% reporting loans in excess of 50,000. The average dental school indebtedness was approximately 60,700. More than 60% of all respondents reported that loan repayment could change their minds about remaining on active duty. Officers not included in the original sample rated the impact of loan repayment statistically higher than did officers in the original sample. Conclusions: The findings were that the majority of junior Army dental officers had significant student loans and many of these officers indicated that they would consider remaining on active duty if loan repayment or other monetary inducements were offered.

These findings support the social exchange view that employees' commitment to the organization is strongly influenced by their perception of the organization's commitment to them. Perceived organizational support is assumed to increase the employee's affective attachment to the organization and his or her expectancy that greater effort toward meeting organizational goals will be rewarded. The extent to which these factors increase work effort would depend on the strength of the employee's exchange ideology favoring the trade of work effort for material and symbolic benefits.

Proximity analyses (Friendly, 1979) revealed that soldiers organized their memory for procedures according to a hierarchical structure of task goals. Experienced personnel were less accurate than novice soldiers in their recall and performance of tasks; however, there were no systematic differences in derived memory structures between the groups. Structures derived from verbal recall were highly indicative of task performance for novice soldiers, but the verbal and task performance structures were less similar for experienced soldiers. Combined with a rational analysis of task goals and subgoals, proximity analysis can provide a useful description of the memory requirements of procedural tasks.

Results of the first study indicated that, when cast in the role of subordinates, research participants never rated an autocratic leader's behavior as more effective than a participative leader's behavior, even when the situation was one in which autocratic behavior would be prescribed by the Vroom-Yetton model. This finding was replicated in the second study, in which the perspective of the research participant was systematically varied. However, in this study participants assigned the role of boss evaluated leader effectiveness in total accordance with the contingency principles of the model. These findings suggest that the perspective of the individual viewing a leader influences the way in which he or she evaluates that leader's task effectiveness. In contrast, data from both studies indicated a consistently more favorable affective response to the participative than to the autocratic leader, no matter what the perspective of the respondent or what the circumstances. Implications of these findings for those in leadership roles are discussed.

Freshman (n = 810) and sophomore (n = 842) cadets were subordinates; more senior cadets were leaders. Subordinates described their leader on a 64-item questionnaire assessing various aspects of leader success (e.g., effectiveness and satisfaction) and leadership process (e.g., communication, social power, strategies of influence). The effects of leader sex and of follower sex were examined with analyses of variance. Moderated regression analyses were used to determine if the relationship between leadership process and leader success was different for male and female leaders. Both sets of analyses showed few leader sex effects that were replicable across the two West Point settings, thus failing to support hypotheses based on sex-role stereotypes, sex differences in social status, and the sex-role congruency concept. However, replicable follower sex effects showed female subordinates to be stronger in their affective reactions and generally more positive in their description of both training experiences. The leader-sex results are discussed in light of previous research showing minimal leader-sex effects and characteristics of the present settings giving special significance to nonsignificant leader-sex effects.

The Military Academy sample contained 502 individuals, 189 of whom separated in a 4-year period after testing. The Officer Candidate School sample contained 251 individuals, 29 of whom failed to complete the 1 5-week course. In both instances, positive results were obtained, although the underlying dynamics of turnover appeared to be somewhat different in the two situations. Implications for selection, turnover theory and research, and the design of validation studies are discussed.

JO - Journal of Applied Psychology JF - Journal of Applied Psychology Y1 - 1983/08// VL - 68 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 415 EP - 419 SN - 00219010 AB - This research explored possible between-assessor differences in the validity of assessment center ratings. Thirteen Army recruiters were trained as assessors; they then evaluated 450 soldiers on four different assessment exercises. These soldiers subsequently entered the Army's recruiter school, where training per- formance scores were gathered. A unit-weighted composite of the assessment ratings correlated .32 with overall training performance. Regarding differences between assessors in assessment validities, a non parametric randomization test revealed that these differences were at a level not &eater than chance. However, there were significant differences between assessors in mean assessment ratings. Possible reasons for the validity finding are that the randomization test lacks statistical power to detect actual differences in this setting, that assessor training smoothes out differences in abilities related to accurate assessment, and/or that assessment exercises uniformly provide all assessors with good (and equal) op- portunity to view behavior relevant to criterion performance. Additional research possibilities in this area are discussed in light of results obtained here and meth- odological issues raised in the article.

Thirty-eight reserve soldiers were assigned to groups according to their past experience on the experimental task-disassembly/assembly of the M60 machine gun. One group was trained to criterion and then received 100% initial overtraining. This group's 8-week retention and retraining performance was compared against that of a group that received the same amount of additional training midway through the retention interval. The control group trained to criterion but received no additional training prior to retention testing and retraining. Refresher training estimates were collected immediately prior to retention testing. Cost and effectiveness considerations weighed heavily in favor of the overtraining group. Soldiers appeared to know how much refresher training they required to regain proficiency.

It was hypothesized that effort attributions would lead to more extreme evaluations than ability attributions. Forty undergraduate psychology students were randomly assigned to four conditions in which they supervised three other students, actually confederates, working on a questionnaire-coding task. One subordinate performed either well or poorly relative to the other two, and the leader was led to believe that this performance was due to either effort or ability. The dependent variable was the overall evaluation of this "key" subordinate made by the supervisor. The results strongly supported the hypothesis, and the implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.

Twenty-six subjects in a controlled experiment and 37 in a field study attempted to manipulate their own leadership situation based on the prescribed contingency model match between their leader style and the favorableness of their situation. Both studies matched experimental subjects against control groups over a 3-month and 6-week period, respectively. Rated performance of the experimental subjects was compared to the performance of control subjects at the completion of each study. In addition, the subjects in the experimental study were required to provide an analysis of the process by which they manipulated their situation to match their leader style. Results showed that leaders who used the manual, when compared with the matched controls, were rated significantly higher than their contemporaries in comparative performance ratings. Analysis of individual strategies provides for comments on the effectiveness, limitations, and utility of the programmed leadership training text.

Enlisted men (n = 75) who were either nonsmokers or smokers and who either refrained or indulged during the session interacted with a stranger who either did not smoke, smoked courteously, or smoked discourteously. Following the encounter, subjects rated the other person on several evaluative dimensions and also rated their own affective state. Nonsmoking subjects made more favorable evaluations and reported a more pleasant affective experience after interacting with a nonsmoking stranger as compared to either a courteous or a discourteous smoker. Smoking subjects who refrained made their most positive ratings in the presence of a courteous smoking other and their most negative ratings in the company of a discourteous one. En contrast to both nonsmokers and smokers who refrained, smokers who indulged during the session made the most favorable ratings when exposed to an indiscriminant smoking stranger.

Responses to Collins's adaptation of Rotter's I-E scale were factor analyzed for a sample of 275 Army reservists. Four of the five factors found in this study substantially replicated Collins's four factors dealing with the easiness, justness, predictability, and political responsiveness of the world. The fifth factor dealt with the friendliness of the world. The total I-E scale and scales for the factors were shown to be selectively and moderately related to measures of Machiavellianism, intolerance of ambiguity, perceived quality of supervision, group atmosphere, and job satisfaction. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding personality and predicting behavioral consequences of sources of reinforcements in the world.

Interviews with lower ranking enlisted men (N = 130) provided information regarding their satisfaction with various facets of military experience and their perceptions of the behavior of superiors who they viewed as either formulating daily orders (originators) or merely relaying them (givers). The results of regression analyses indicated that satisfaction with both the quality of army life in general and leadership in particular were more closely related to perceived attributes of the originator rather than to those of the giver. This finding is attributed to the originator's greater hierarchical influence within the army structure.

However, these disappointing results can be explained by the contingency model (Fiedler, 1967, 1971) which postulates that the leader's effectiveness depends on his motivational style (least preferred co-worker) and the favorableness of the leadership situation. The approach in this paper conceptualizes intelligence as the leader's ability to integrate his experience and thus provide him with skills to deal effectively with the technical aspects of the tasks and his interpersonal relationships. Four successive studies showed that the relationship between leader intelligence and performance depended on the leader's motivational style (least preferred co-worker), his experience, and the leader-member relations.

The objective of this study is to narrow the focus to deal with content-specific work activities. Activity categories are differentiated in terms of (1) productive and supportive activities and (2) high and low situational structure. Extrinsic and intrinsic motivators and specific effort criteria are delineated. Differences in the configuration and strength of motivator -effort relationships as a function of the activity category classifications are demonstrated using two separate administration sessions in an Army work setting. The extrinsic motivator predicts better for the productive activities while the intrinsic motivator does better for the supportive activities. Motivator-effort relationships are stronger for low-structured than high-structured activities. Curvilinear as well as linear relationships exist for certain activities where structure may restrict maximum effort. Implications of the results for applied organizational development programs are discussed.

Computers, especially time-sharing computers, have considerable potential for improving user services in libraries. The development of automated procedures for creating annual listings of the periodical holdings was chosen as the prime effort. It was decided that the entire project should be capable of running in a background processing mode on the Time-Sharing System. It was also decided to give the library personnel some experience with mark-sense techniques in source data automation in the process of establishing the necessary computer files.

The card serves for ample comparison reference previous to handling the slides and can produce a subject-arranged permuted index in book form. The latter permits access from the approach of form, geographic area, name, time of origin, artist, school, or style, etc. Some added advantages, common to other kinds of graphic collections, are detailed. Estimated costs of photo-reproduction of original cards, various kinds of copies, and computer time and materials ore listed. Future benefits from a consistent, unified cataloging system for graphic objects and the dissemination of this kind of information in a network structure are indicated as major goals.

Army internal consultants introduced survey feedback as an intervention to improve work efficiency, general and specific job satisfaction, and working relationships in engineering companies of the U.S. Army. The authors evaluated the success of the consultants' interventions against the goals they set out to achieve. Four recommendations are made to enhance positive outcomes: (1) units should be insulated from externally imposed requirements that tend to disrupt the ongoing process of the survey-feedback program; (2) a standardized instrument needs to be developed to diagnose problems within units accurately; (3) interventions should be conducted with a team concept in which one person serves as internal consultant to the client system, while a second serves both as an evaluator of the effectiveness of the intervention and as a shadow consultant; and (4) methods need to be developed to ensure the vital commitment of first-line supervisors to the intervention program and to reduce the threat they experience in participatory modes with subordinates.

JO - Sociological Perspectives JF - Sociological Perspectives Y1 - 1988/04// VL - 31 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 190 EP - 212 SN - 07311214 AB - This study addresses two issues: (1) the impact of overeducation on the earnings of male workers in the United States, and (2) white-minority earnings differences among males. Given that educational attainment that earnings returns to education are not as great as might be expected. This topic is examined by including an overeducation variable in an earnings function. Regarding the second issue addressed in this article, little is actually known about white-minority differences because the bulk of such research compares whites and blacks. By including selected Hispanic groups in this analysis (Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Other Hispanic) we are able to assess white-minority earnings differences to a greater degree. Using data from a 5% sample of the 1980 census to estimates an earnings function, we find that overeducated workers earn less than either undereducated or adequately educated workers. Second, we find that there are substantial earnings differences between whites and minorities, and, also, between the five minority groups examined.

An empirical simulation makes use of historical data as direct input to the simulation rather than randomly generated data based on a characterization of the historical data. Empirical simulation alleviates the drawbacks of characterizing historical data with a theoretical distribution; however, because steady-state conditions are not reached, a methodological problem arises in the evaluation of inventory assets at the end of the simulation. Our solution was to minimize this problem by use of a cyclic approach.

JO - Journal of the American Statistical Association JF - Journal of the American Statistical Association Y1 - 1974/09// VL - 69 IS - 347 M3 - Article SP - 654 SN - 01621459 AB - The use of Patnaik's [28] chi-square approximation to the noncentral chi-square distribution and the Wilson-Hilferty [321 transformation of chi-square to approximate normality are explored as a simple, efficient means of finding k-order-statistic confidence bounds on parameters and reliability of the one- and two-parameter negative exponential distributions. An important implication of the results leads to obtaining simple closed-form approximations to percentiles of the beta distribution either with integer or noninteger parameters. The general methodology is also used to approximate confidence or prediction intervals for the time of the kth exponential failure based on r or = 20%; admission directly from the field; weight > 30 kg; no electric injury, mechanical trauma, or blood transfusions; and survival > or = 24 hours postburn. Eighty-nine records were complete. RESULTS: Mean TBSA was 43%, mean full-thickness burn size was 21%, mean age was 41 years, mean VOL was 4.9 mL/kg/% burn, and mean lactated Ringer's volume was 4.4 mL/kg/% burn; 53% had inhalation injury. MORT was 25.8%. Mean urine output was 0.77 mL/kg/h. By linear regression, VOL was associated with weight (negatively) and full-thickness burn size (r2 = 0.151). By logistic regression, receipt of over 4 mL/kg/% burn was predicted at admission by weight (negatively) and TBSA; by 24 hours postburn, mechanical ventilation replaced TBSA. With respect to MORT, logistic regression of admission factors yielded a model incorporating TBSA and an age function; by 24 hours postburn, the worst base deficit was added. CONCLUSION: Burn size and weight (negatively) were associated with greater VOL. However, a close linear relationship between burn size and VOL was not observed. Mechanical ventilation supplanted TBSA by 24 hours as a predictor of high VOL. Worst base deficit, TBSA, and an age function, but not VOL, were predictors of MORT.

Now, hazards of concern include both high and low levels of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals in air, soil, and water. The types of health effects considered have expanded to include both immediate, acute effects (mild and severe), and delayed or chronic outcomes. Because federal exposure standards are not applicable to deployed personnel, the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine established military-specific exposure guidelines in Technical Guide 230, Chemical Exposure Guidelines for Deployed Military Personnel. Methods used to develop the guidelines address toxicological data limitations, uniqueness of military populations and exposure scenarios, and a risk assessment process compatible with existing military operational risk management doctrine. The Technical Guide 230 helps ensure chemical hazards are addressed in various deployment scenarios.

The two replacement strategies included the reserve component option and the TRICARE internal resource-sharing option. A hypothetical scenario was used as a mechanism for the analysis, and three key variables were considered: effectiveness, feasibility, and operational expense. From the perspective of effectiveness, the TRICARE strategy demonstrated an ability to provide a slightly larger percentage of the requested replacement personnel. With regard to feasibility, both strategies were feasible in that both could provide replacements for the duration of the 270-day deployment and within an established 180-day report date. Operational expense was a decisive factor with the reserve component option significantly less costly than the TRICARE alternative. Weaknesses and strengths of each option were identified and discussed, and alternatives were recommended.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Soldiers granted enlistment waivers for medical concerns, misconduct, or positive alcohol/drug tests may or may not be associated with an increased likelihood of negative behavioral outcomes. Soldiers in the population examined (n = 8,943) who were granted enlistment waivers from 2003 to 2008 were significantly more likely to subsequently be screened for alcohol/substance abuse, test positive for illicit substances, or receive an Army separation for behavioral misconduct. These associations were highest among Soldiers granted waivers for nonlawful alcohol/drug violations. Soldiers granted waivers for felony offenses and serious nontraffic violations were significantly less likely to separate from the Army compared with Soldiers not granted enlistment waivers.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a principal injury of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, can result in significant morbidity. To make accurate return-to-duty decisions for soldiers with mTBI, military medical personnel require sensitive, objective, and duty-relevant data to characterize subtle cognitive and sensorimotor injury sequelae. A military-civilian research team reviewed existing literature and obtained input from stakeholders, end users, and experts to specify the concept and develop a preliminary assessment protocol to address this need. Results of the literature review suggested the potential utility of a test based on dual-task and multitask assessment methods. Thirty-three individuals representing a variety of military and civilian stakeholders/experts participated in interviews. Interview data suggested that reliability/validity, clinical feasibility, usability across treatment facilities, military face validity, and capacity to challenge mission-critical mTBI vulnerabilities were important to ultimate adoption. The research team developed the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance, a tool composed of eight dual and multitasking test-tasks. A concept test session with 10 subjects indicated preliminary face validity and informed modifications to scoring and design. Further validation is needed. The Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance may fill a gap identified by stakeholders for complex cognitive/motor testing to assist return-to-duty decisions for service members with mTBI.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - This article describes the medical planning process whereby combat stress and mental health clinicians were placed at Forward Operating Bases in southern and western Afghanistan during a period of intensive surge operations in 2009–2010. The distribution plan for the Combat Stress Control teams was based on previously published guidance on ratios of combat stress personnel to troop end-strength, population at-risk data, and kinetic activity associated with current and future combat operations. The article concludes with outcome data that validates the distribution decisions made through the planning process. Through dissemination of this information, it is hoped that future planners and clinicians can improve the processes involved in providing combat stress and mental health services to forward-deployed troops.

The CSF program is designed to assess soldiers, family members, and Army civilians on five dimensions of psychological and psychosocial strength: physical, emotional, social, family, and spiritual fitness; to provide remediation in those areas that might need improvement; and to provide a metric with which individuals can assess their fitness and development (Cornum, Matthews, & Seligman, 2011). This chapter offers a description of the CFS program, and discusses US Army resilience training.

References Available: Y. Page Count: 16. AB - This chapter discusses measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder in an occupational health context. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a critical construct to measure for occupations that routinely place individuals in high-risk situations. Prevalence rates in the general population are 4% whereas studies with individuals in high-risk occupations have, for example, documented rates for at-risk occupations ranging from about 13% in police officers and 17% in firefighters, to 35% in U.S. reservists returning from a combat deployment. These rates signify the personal toll that high-risk occupations can have on the well-being of individuals and their families. Studies have also documented the impact of PTSD on work productivity and health care utilization. In determining the best assessment of PTSD, occupational health psychologists need to consider the goals of the assessment. If diagnostic accuracy is the most critical goal, then a multimethod approach for assessing PTSD is recommended. These different methods may include a structured diagnostic interview to assess PTSD and other comorbid clinical domains, self-report psychological questionnaires, and psychophysiological measures. Although differences in biologically based responses have been identified in those with and without PTSD, there is no reliable physiological assessment currently available. The measures that have been used in research to assess, for example, psychophysiological reactivity to trauma-related cues, are also expensive and require specialized equipment and training. If the goal is to determine the overall presence of PTSD or PTSD symptoms, then self-report questionnaires alone can be an efficient assessment technique.

AB - Adler offers unique insights into resilience-related research and intervention, with an eye toward identifying critical but understudied topics related to military resilience. She reinforces and expands on the discussion from other authors about the unique aspects of resilience in the military context as well as some of the potential unanticipated consequences of focusing on resilience. One of the central points she raises is that the military is a unique occupational context for developing and sustaining resilience; she illustrates how a 'one size fits all' approach may not work for resilience-focused interventions. She also discusses the dark side of resilience, highlighting potential unintended consequences of and limits to the benefits of focusing on resilience, such as increasing the stigma members feel about seeking treatment for mental health problems. She concludes by highlighting several issues that require further attention from researchers and practitioners, with respect both to designing resilience interventions that meet the needs of military personnel and to conducting solid scientific investigations of those interventions.

AB - This chapter explores the demands that military families face and how families respond to them and then reviews existing programs designed to promote psychological resilience. Military families are part of a unique organization. We explore findings regarding four common challenges that are part of their lifestyle: residential mobility, spouse employment, deployment separation, and reintegration of the service member. After exploring the lifestyle demands, we summarize factors that can lead to adaptation and successful functioning and recommend future research directions on resilience in military families. Having explored some of the challenges faced by military families, we address how military families respond to these demands. Factors that can lead to adaptation and competent functioning, thus building psychological resilience and the ability to bounce back after experiencing stressful events, are particularly relevant for military families, given the current context of combat deployments. We then turn to single-parent families in the military, a group that may benefit from programs that promote psychological resilience. Finally, we review several programs that focus on building and maintaining resilience skills in families as they cope with the challenges of the military lifestyle: Spouse Battlemind Training, Strategic Outreach to Families of All Reservists, and The Talk, Listen, Connect program.

To determine whether assignment in this desert environment increases risk of respiratory illnesses, hospitalization rates were compared between two matched cohorts of soldiers during three intervals of follow-up during a 10-year surveillance period. The exposed cohort (N = 21,543) included all soldiers who were ever assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. The control cohort (N = 86,172) included soldiers matched on demographic characteristics who were never assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. Three follow-up intervals ('before,' 'during,' 'after') were defined relative to times when exposed soldiers were assigned to the desert. Rates of respiratory hospitalizations were similar between the cohorts for the 'before' and 'during' intervals but were higher in the exposed cohort for the 'after' interval (rate ratio, 1.30; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.59). This difference was largely attributable to excess pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations in the exposed cohort. Healthy, young adults may have increased susceptibility to respiratory infectious illnesses after prolonged exposures to desert environments.

SF-qualified (n = 119) and non-SF, support soldiers (n = 38) participated. Most soldiers (87%) reported current supplement use with more SF (90%) than non-SF, support soldiers (76%) using supplements (p < or = 0.05). Supplements SF reported using most were multivitamins, sports bars/drinks, and vitamin C. The mean nutrition knowledge score for all soldiers was 48.5 +/- 15.2% correct responses. Most soldiers incorrectly believe protein is used for energy for short-term athletic events (64%) and that vitamins provide energy (58%). The most common information sources reportedly used were popular magazines/books (75%), friends/teammates (55%), physicians/nurses, radio/television (34%), and the Internet (31%).

Thirty-five subjects completed modified rhyme test (MRT) speech intelligibility testing procedures with and without a respirator under background noises of 40, 60, and 80 dBA. Respirator wear conditions included the use of one unmodified and three mechanical speech diaphragms modified to reduce the surface area of the vibrating inner membrane available for sound transmission. Average MRT scores decreased linearly as background noise levels increased for all conditions. Lower MRT scores were observed for all respirator speech diaphragm conditions compared to the nonrespirator condition within each noise category. Average MRT scores differed significantly between the unmodified speech diaphragm and one with a 70% reduced surface area with a 40-dBA background noise. However, MRT scores were similar between the modified and unmodified diaphragms at both the 60- and 80-dBA noise levels. These findings provide evidence that alternate designs of mechanical-type respirator speech devices can be achieved without further degradation of speech sound transmission.

It is also a crucial requirement for athletic events and activities. Deterioration in this postural control mechanism is termed postural instability and results in increased postural sway. Decrements in postural sway have been documented following a 15.5-mile run. It remains to be seen whether a shorter distance run will cause a similar decrease in postural control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 2-mile run on postural sway in healthy subjects. Forty-four healthy subjects were assigned to an experimental group (2-mile run) or a control group. Postural sway was measured before and after the run with the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and a clinical balance test called the Military Academy Stance Test. There was a significant before-after run Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index (p < 0.05) and Military Academy Stance Test index (p < 0.05) increase in the experimental group. There was no significant change for the control group. It was concluded that a 2-mile run does produce a significant increase in postural sway as measured using the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and Military Academy Stance Test.

Traditional dental missions have been a part of general MEDRETEs and have focused care on extractions and the provision of oral hygiene instructions. This article describes the tenets of a prevention-based dental humanitarian mission to Honduras in 2002. Materials and METHODS: The U.S. Army Southern Command requested a Dental Specialty MEDRETE for fiscal year 2002. A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the dental readiness training exercises at the Escuala Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. RESULTS: The U.S. Army Dental Command in conjunction with the 257th Medical Company (Dental Services) performed a pediatric dental readiness training exercises in Tegucigalpa March 4-15, 2002. In over 9 treatment days, there were 369 patient encounters totaling 1,593 treatment procedures. In keeping with the preventive focus of the mission, 514 dental occlusal sealants were provided compared with only 90 extractions. Over dollar 76,000 in dental services was provided. CONCLUSIONS: The 2002 Honduran Dental Specialty MEDRETE represented a changing paradigm from extraction-based dental missions toward prevention-based missions. With this philosophical shift in focused care, Dental Specialty MEDRETEs have the ability to enhance the oral health of children, including those not fortunate enough to have received direct interventional dentistry.

METHODS: Urine samples were obtained from 155 female and 58 male Marine recruits from the first morning void every 3 days during training. Training miles of weight-bearing exercise were recorded daily, and injury data were obtained from the medical clinic staff. RESULTS: Deoxypyridinoline was significantly (p < 0.001) increased at week 2 and weeks 9 through 11 for women and at weeks 10 and 11 for men. The increase in bone resorption corresponded to an increase in miles of weight-bearing exercise performed throughout training. The incidence of stress fracture and reaction was 3.9% and 14.8%, respectively, for women and 1.7% and 3.4%, respectively, for men. CONCLUSIONS: Significant bone resorption took place at the end of Marine recruit training due to accumulation of weight-bearing exercise throughout training and the increase in marching toward the end.

Patient expectations, attitudes, and health care use have been examined in numerous studies; the results are fairly consistent. Eligible beneficiaries report moderate satisfaction with the health care received. In 1994-2001, annual DoD and monthly ambulatory patient surveys were conducted in military medical treatment facilities. The DoD surveys document how patients perceive the care provided. The obvious research concerns are: requirements for conducting surveys; who should be surveyed: eligible beneficiaries or actual users; when; where; representative sample; how often to conduct assessment; data collection methods; analytic schemes; overall trends; predictors of satisfaction; use of results; and timeliness of findings. This study examines these issues and analyzes raw data from selected annual DoD and monthly ambulatory surveys. The overall level of perceived satisfaction has been 'good' over the years surveys were used. The model demonstrated the use of examining demographic and attitudinal components of patient satisfaction in military medical facilities.

Organizational conflict symptomology includes communication barriers and widely differing values. Employment of accountability based systems and bringing nurses into governance prevents conflict and improves job satisfaction. This article identifies the barriers to case management program development and discusses strategies for its successful implementation. Today's most successful organizations will implement an institution-wide commitment to a culture within which excellence flourishes. Creative staffing models and professional practice partnerships such as nursing case management will be supported and encouraged by executive leadership; they work as a team and will be jointly accountable for positive outcomes The United States Army Nurse Corps has the framework necessary to develop a premiere nursing organization. Case management departments may adopt these techniques to improve working relationships and leadership capacity within their organizations.

The developmental system consisted of two variations: the improved toxicological agent protective (ITAP) suit with self-contained breathing apparatus (ITAP-SCBA), weight 32 kg, and the ITAP with blower (ITAP-B), weight 21 kg. Both ITAP suits included the personal ice cooling system (PICS). TAP (weight 9.5 kg) had no cooling. It was hypothesized that PICS would effectively cool both ITAP configurations, and endurance in TAP would be limited by heat strain. Eight subjects (six men, two women) attempted three 2-hour treadmill walks (0.89 m/sec, 0% grade, rest/exercise cycles of 10/20 min) at 38 degrees C, 30% relative humidity. Metabolic rate for TAP (222+/-35 W) was significantly less than either ITAP-SCBA (278+/-27 W) or ITAP-B (262+/-24 W) (p<0.05). Endurance time was longer in ITAP-SCBA (85+/-20 min) and ITAP-B (87+/-25 min) than in TAP (46+/-10 min) (p<0.05). Heat storage was greater in TAP (77+/-15 W.m(-2)) than in ITAP-SCBA (51+/-16 W.m(-2)) (p<0.05), which was not different from ITAP-B (59+/-14 W.m(-2)). Sweating rate was greater in TAP (23.5+/-11.7 g/min(1)) than in either ITAP-SCBA (11.1+/-2.9 g/min) or ITAP-B (12.8+/-3.5 g/min) (p<0.05). Endurance in ITAP was nearly twice as long as in PPE with no cooling, even though the PICS, SCBA tanks, and new uniform itself all served to increase metabolic cost over that in TAP. PICS could also be used with civilian Levels A and B PPE increasing work time and worker safety.

Forty-two percent of Army recruits have DFC 3 conditions as reported by the 2000 Tri-Service Center Recruit Study. Initial entry training schools allow minimal time for dental care. The Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic (CTIC) was created to treat DFC 3 conditions prior to soldiers being assigned to their units. The purpose of this study was to evaluate CTIC's ability to make soldiers dentally deployable before joining their new units at Fort Hood, Texas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of the CTIC daily sign-in logs for the period of January 1999 to May 2001 was used to identify DFC 3 soldiers. The data were analyzed to determine frequency of DFC 3 by rank, DFC after CTIC visits, distribution of treatment type needed to establish dental readiness, and to identify soldiers whose DFC 3 conditions were not treated. Additionally, for the 6 months between November 2000 and April 2001, all soldiers who remained a DFC 3 when released to their units were followed to assess how long it took for them to attain a DFC 1 or 2 status. RESULTS: The retrospective review of the CTIC records identified 5,851 DFC 3 soldiers who in-processed to Fort Hood from January 1999 to May 2001. CTIC successfully converted 86.9% (N = 5,083) of the soldiers to DFC 1 or 2. Of a sample of 185 DFC 3 soldiers released to their units as a DFC 3, only 54% had converted to DFC 1 or 2, with 60.5 days being the mean days to convert. CONCLUSIONS: Trainees have large demands for dental care with minimal time to seek treatment during Initial Entry Training. A CTIC, or hybrid, can provide the necessary emergent dental care to remove soldiers from DFC 3 prior to their being assigned to their first permanent duty station.

Nine male and three female soldiers fired at targets before and after performing upper extremity exercise to fatigue using both (1) an upper body ergometer and (2) a Military Operations in Urban Terrain obstacle course. Shooting accuracy, assessed by the number of hits, misses, and shot group size, was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) immediately following both types of exercise and recovered to pre-exercise values within 5 minutes for all measures except the number of misses, which returned to pre-exercise values by 10 minutes. There was no relationship between fitness measures and shooting performance, although muscle endurance was a factor in the duration of exercise prior to fatigue. We conclude that shooting accuracy recovers rapidly in fit soldiers following fatiguing lifting, climbing, and pulling activity.

Although the Army has experienced a decrease of some 15% in primary hearing loss disability cases since 1986, a fiscal year 2000 report documents a 27.5% increase in audiograms, which demonstrated significant threshold shifts in assessed personnel (N = 841/1,077). Compensation for noise-induced hearing loss disability for the Army alone exceeded $180 million in 1998. Thus, communications and hearing protection remain critical issues for personnel involved in Army operations. Aircraft, ground vehicles, and weapons produce noise levels in excess of the limits defined in current hearing conservation standards. Performance of most helmets, improved over the years, remains marginal with regard to speech intelligibility. Furthermore, these helmets do not provide adequate hearing protection. The communications earplug, which consists of a high-quality earphone coupled with an earplug protector, provides the needed extra protection. It weighs less than 15 g and is comfortable when worn over extended periods. It is considered highly acceptable by seasoned Army aviators and crewmembers.

The technicians repeated measurements for 6 consecutive days, and on 1 of the days repeated the measurements six times. The technicians accurately identified all of the samples and quantified the AChE activity. The major trend was that the Test-mate ChE is more precise and reproducible for smaller doses of soman. The results were reliable over all temperatures during the field exercise. In conclusion, the Test-mate ChE is a reliable field instrument to determine blood AChE activity.

The purpose of this study was to describe the concentration of oxygen delivered with different combinations of seven oxygen reservoir volumes and four oxygen flow rates. The Medical Education Technologies Incorporated Human Patient Simulator reproduced human physiological tidal volumes of four simulated patients of different weights based upon a typical soldier's weight. Using least squares multiple nonlinear regression, a formula for the curves of the oxygen concentrations was developed. The analysis, across the different patient weights, showed no appreciable increase in oxygen concentration beyond a reservoir volume of 260 mL. Our findings suggest the current standard universal portable anesthesia complete reservoir may not provide optimal oxygen delivery, therefore, we recommend the current reservoir volume be increased from 130 to 260 mL.

A significant amount of morbidity can be overlooked and can mislead commanders and their staffs into believing that their unit is at a higher strength level. The objective of this article is to provide a tool for estimating these 'hidden' disease and nonbattle injury cases. Nine weeks of military hospitalization data (687 admissions) separated into 14 diagnosis categories were compared with respective outpatient morbidity data (12,109 outpatient visits) during Operation Restore Hope in Somalia in 1993. Proportionate values and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for 5 of the 14 diagnostic categories and total morbidity. These proportionate values were then used to show how disease and nonbattle injury (total and diagnosis category) could be estimated based on hospitalization admissions during a similar military operation. Mission and geographical location information should be considered when using this model, along with other medical planning publications.

Shinseki, Chief of Staff of the Army, has initiated the transformation of the Army with the goals of making the force more lethal, agile, and versatile. A key component to the transformation is deploying healthier soldiers that will result in the ability to decrease the amount of deployed medical support. This article describes two new population health measures the U.S. Army Dental Command is implementing to support the transformation. The new program will make it mandatory for dental providers to assess caries and tobacco risk at all active duty soldiers' annual dental examinations. These measures will allow the dental personnel to identify who is at risk for future disease and then to plan appropriate prevention strategies for those individual soldiers. These aggregate corporate data will allow dental leaders to target prevention services to the units with a high percentage of tobacco users. These new measures and the resultant prevention strategies can increase the readiness of our forces and can result in a healthier and mission-ready force.

The statistics for eye injuries indicate that the average Army, Navy, and Air Force individual sustaining an eye injury is a 20- to 24-year-old man with a rank of E2 through E5. The average military individual sustaining an eye injury is not wearing eye protection when injured. In addition, Army personnel lost 1.9 more workdays, Navy personnel lost 1.5 more workdays, and Air Force personnel lost 3.4 more workdays than those individuals who were wearing eye protection at the time of the eye injury. Proactive vision conservation education at local levels needs to focus on the military personnel that are at the highest risk for an eye injury.

The role of B12 deficiency in hyperhomocysteinemia and the promotion of atherosclerosis is only now being explored. Diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency is typically based on measurement of serum vitamin B12 levels; however, about 50 percent of patients with subclinical disease have normal B12 levels. A more sensitive method of screening for vitamin B12 deficiency is measurement of serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels, which are increased early in vitamin B12 deficiency. Use of the Schilling test for detection of pernicious anemia has been supplanted for the most part by serologic testing for parietal cell and intrinsic factor antibodies. Contrary to prevailing medical practice, studies show that supplementation with oral vitamin B12 is a safe and effective treatment for the B12 deficiency state. Even when intrinsic factor is not present to aid in the absorption of vitamin B12 (pernicious anemia) or in other diseases that affect the usual absorption sites in the terminal ileum, oral therapy remains effective.

METHODS: A total of 1,718 consecutive EKG interpretations, whether or not the screening EKG led to further testing, disclosed serious or potentially serious cardiac disease, or changed management or disposition of the patient, were prospectively recorded. RESULTS: Thirty-four percent of the screening EKGs was abnormal. Seven (0.67%) of these abnormal EKGs altered management by leading to further consultation or testing. No screening EKG disclosed serious underlying cardiac disease. Two cases of potentially serious cardiac disease were discovered by the screening EKGs. At an average follow-up time of 34 months, neither of these two patients has developed serious cardiac disease. Our findings are similar to studies of other populations. CONCLUSION: Screening EKGs rarely caused a change in management. No adverse outcome would have occurred nor would serious cardiac disease have been missed if the routine screening EKG were not performed. The military should consider abandoning practice of performing screening EKGs in young, healthy individuals. SN - 0026-4075 AD - U.S. Army Medical Activity, Heidelberg, Germany U2 - PMID: 12546239.

Thirty pneumonia cases (attack rate = 12.6%) were identified among a group of 239 students. Eighteen students were hospitalized; Streptococcus pneumoniae-positive cultures were detected in 11 (61.1%) of these 18 hospitalized cases. Pneumococci were also identified in throat swabs of 30 (13.6%) of 221 nonhospitalized students surveyed. Serum antipneumolysin seroconversions were detected in 30 (18.3%) of 164 students tested. An association between development of serum antipneumolysin antibody and pneumococcal pharyngeal carriage/colonization was found. Of 30 seroconverters, eight (26.7%) had S. pneumoniae-positive cultures compared with only 17 (12.7%) of 134 nonseroconverters (relative risks = 2.02, 95% confidence interval = 1.02-4.02, p = 0.05). The outbreak was controlled by administrating lowdose, oral azithromycin prophylaxis (250 mg weekly for 2 weeks) and was associated with a 69% reduction in pneumococcal carriage and a 94% reduction in pneumonia rates.

Subjects performed 5 single-leg landings, dropping from a 0.3-m height onto a force platform. An electrogoniometer simultaneously recorded sagittal knee range of motion during the landing task.Subjects: Forty-eight healthy volunteers participated.Measurements: Peak vertical force was defined as the highest force recorded in the F[z] direction during landing. Rate of loading was defined as the peak vertical force divided by the time to reach the peak vertical force. Knee-flexion excursion was defined as the change in knee-flexion range from initial contact to peak vertical force.Results: Peak vertical force (P = .769) and rate of loading (P = .703) did not differ among groups. Although secondary analyses identified significant negative correlations between peak force and rate of loading with knee excursion, the amount of knee excursion was similar among groups (P = .744).Conclusions: Our results de-emphasize the influence of static anatomical foot alignment on impact forces and absorption during a single-leg drop landing and provide further support for the role of knee flexion in dissipation of landing forces. Further investigations are needed to fully elucidate the role of subtalar pronation and other lower extremity alignment factors in force dissipation during dynamic functional activities.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the reliability and accuracy of individual clinical examination items and self-report instruments for the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy, and to identify and assess the accuracy of an optimum test-item cluster for the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Although cervical radiculopathy remains largely a clinical diagnosis, the reliability and diagnostic accuracy of clinical examination items, individually or in combination, for cervical radiculopathy is largely unknown. METHODS: Patients with suspected cervical radiculopathy or carpal tunnel syndrome received standardized electrophysiologic examination of the symptomatic upper quarter followed by a standardized clinical examination by physical therapist examiners blinded to diagnosis. Diagnostic properties were assessed using a neural impairment reference criterion standard. RESULTS: The study involved 82 patients. More than two thirds of 34 clinical examination items had reliability coefficients rated at least fair or better, and 13 items had likelihood ratio point estimates above 2 or below 0.50. A single diagnostic test item cluster of four variables was identified and produced a positive likelihood ratio point estimate of 30.3. The 95% confidence intervals for all likelihood ratio point estimates in this study were wide. CONCLUSIONS: Many items of the clinical examination were found to be reliable and to have acceptable diagnostic properties, but the test item cluster identified was more useful for indicating cervical radiculopathy than any single test item. Upper limb tension Test A was the most useful test for ruling out cervical radiculopathy. Further investigation is required both to validate the test item cluster and to improve point estimate precision.

The prevalence of obesity continues to rise in both developed and developing nations. An association between iron status and obesity has been described in children and adults. The mechanism explaining this relationship remains unknown; however, findings from recent reports suggest that body mass index and inflammation predict iron absorption and affect the response to iron fortification. The relationship between inflammation and iron absorption may be mediated by hepcidin, although further studies will be required to confirm this potential physiological explanation for the increased prevalence of iron deficiency in the obese.

HEV has been considered a military health threat and has been reported in several military environments. This study determined HEV seroconversion (defined by a 4-fold increase in antibody titers) occurring in Thai soldiers deployed to the HEV-endemic areas of East Timor, Afghanistan, and Iraq, as part of the U. N. multinational forces. With an average deployment of 6.4 months, the annualized seroconversion rates after deployments to East Timor, Afghanistan, Burundi, and Iraq were 1.9%, 4.6%, 4.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

Individual county health departments had faced shrinking financial resources in mid 1970s and doubled with the increasing demands for services and rising costs. The Kentucky State Health Department controls distribution of approximately three-fourth of the funds spent by local health departments. The formation of one district health department was evaluated by comparison of aggregate budgets, staffing, and programs before and after merger into a district health department.

Bacevich and Eliot A. Cohen, 'NATO's Air War for Kosovo,' by Benjamin S. Lambeth, and 'Why Milosevic Decided to Settle When He Did,' by Stephen T. Hosmer. The debate over a new approach to US and NATO military policy, one of precision bombing from beyond enemy reach, resulting from the war in Kosovo, forms the central theme of all three books. For Bacevich and Cohen, this new way of war stems from a collision between subtle strategic problems and an unsubtle strategic culture. Analysts in the 'War Over Kosovo' anthology see important problems with this model. For Benjamin Lambeth and Stephen Hosmer, air power was the most important factor in the concession of Yugoslav Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. The most persuasive evidence presented in Hosmer's book concerns Russia's eleventh-hour abandonment of Serbia. Among the most important questions raised by the precision bombing strategy is How effective is it against the mid-size rogue states such as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea? Whether the precision bombing strategy will persist in the face of experience remains to be seen.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - Benefit finding and unit leadership have been identified as buffers against the negative effects of combat exposure on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Purpose: To characterize noncombat injury/illness, determine changes in physical fitness, and evaluate the influence of these changes on medical resource utilization by National Guard (NG) Soldiers. Methods: Fiftyfour Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. Results: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculoskeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (−11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (−10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.001), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO₂ peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = −0.45 to −0.28, p ≤ 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p £ 0.05). Conclusion: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Objectives: Military health care personnel need to have skills relative to caring for patients on the battlefield. No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. Methods: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant’s ability to give care to trauma patients. Results: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). Discussion: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. Conclusion: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Appropriate and effective physical fitness training is imperative for soldier survival and mission success. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) circuit-style training program compared to standard Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT) on fitness, physiological, and body composition changes. Active duty Army personnel were randomly assigned to two groups (MEF = 34 or APRT = 33) for 8 weeks of training (15 sessions each). The MEF program included functional movements focused on strength, power, speed, and agility. Fifteen exercises were performed continuously for 60 to 90 seconds for 45 minutes. Baseline and post-test measures included the Army physical fitness test, physiological indicators, body composition, and additional fitness indicators. One-way analysis of covariance models indicated that MEF participants significantly increased their push-ups (p = 0.033), bench press (p = 0.001), and flexibility (p = 0.003) and significantly decreased their 2-mile run (p = 0.003) and step test heart rate (p = 0.004) compared to participants doing APRT. Both groups maintained body composition (p > 0.05) and reported no injuries. The MEF training program safely improved muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, supporting functional fitness circuit-style exercise training for military personnel.

AB - The purpose of this study was to determine if a particular set of health behaviors of health care providers and African American men (AAM) influence patient satisfaction from the AAM’s perspective. This descriptive, correlational study consisted of 505 AAM in North Carolina diagnosed with prostate cancer and enrolled in the North Carolina–Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP). Analyses consisted of bivariate analyses and multiple regression. Patient-to-provider communication, interpersonal treatment, and provider-to-patient communication accounted for 45% (p ≤ .0001) of the variability in patient satisfaction. Interpersonal treatment (provider focusing on the patient) explained the greatest amount (F = 313.53, R² = .39) of patient satisfaction. Since interpersonal treatment focuses on the patient and demonstrated to be the strongest predictor in patient satisfaction, it is noteworthy to consider the emphasis that should be placed on patient-centered care. In addition, knowing important variables positively affecting patient satisfaction provides useful information for developing appropriate interventions to improve AAM health care experiences.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - Studies have yielded consistent variables associated with military suicides: age (17 to 30 years), gender (male), race (white), and previous mental health conditions. Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - With neurocognitive testing being heavily relied on for concussion assessments in the U.S. Warfighter, there is a need to investigate the impact of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Objectives: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. Methods: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). Results: The injured group’s performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater.

AB - A military targeting environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent route-planning agent RoboLeader, which could support dynamic robot re-tasking based on battlefield developments, on the performance of robotics operators. We manipulated the level of assistance (LOAs) provided by RoboLeader as well as the presence of a visualisation tool that provided feedback to the participants on their primary task (target encapsulation) performance. Results showed that the participants’ primary task benefited from RoboLeader on all LOAs conditions compared to manual performance; however, visualisation had little effect. Frequent video gamers demonstrated significantly better situation awareness of the mission environment than did infrequent gamers. Those participants with higher spatial ability performed better on a secondary target detection task than did those with lower spatial ability. Finally, participants’ workload assessments were significantly lower when they were assisted by RoboLeader than when they performed the target entrapment task manually.

AB - This article presents a story about the municipal children’s ombudsmen’s offices of the Defensoría Municipal del Niño y el Adolescente (Demuna), the place where this young mother in Lima, Peru, went 'to ask for help.' It outlines a nationwide attempt to implement a commitment to what many state officials, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), foreign donors, and international agency personnel conceptualize as children’s rights. Drawing on the case study of Peru, this article illustrates how the 1989 international Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), as well as the accompanying globalized discourse of children’s rights, often entails conflicting politics regarding women and children. This article also suggests that this technical (and mainly economic) interpretation of children’s rights defines impoverished women first and foremost as mothers and imagines children primarily as dependent subjects within a two-parent family. It, therefore, examines the politics of the conflation of women and children, as well as the (paradoxical) invisibility of women embodied by the municipal defensorías rhetoric and practices. It also addresses the ambiguous consequences of these offices, which seem to help the women who use them in the short term by facilitating access to critical financial assistance while also hindering the chance for long-term or more structural change. This article suggests that the Peruvian municipal defensorías use a children’s rights discourse but depend on a technocratic interpretation of rights that promotes the family as the primary site for intervention, thus freeing the state from its obligation.

AB - We expand organizational socialization research by integrating social exchange theory, specifically leader–member exchange (LMX), as an important mediator in explaining newcomer attachment to the job, occupation, and organization. Using temporally-lagged data from 213 newcomers across 12 telemarketing organizations, we found that newcomer perceptions of LMX mediate the association between supervisory socialization tactics (i.e. supervisory job-focused advice, guidance, and role modeling) and occupational identification as well as between supervisory socialization tactics and perceived person-organization fit—but not between supervisory socialization tactics and job satisfaction.

Here we propose a novel recursive gene selection method which can handle the multiclass setting effectively and efficiently. The selection is performed iteratively. In each iteration, a linear multiclass classifier is trained using 1-norm regularization, which leads to sparse weight vectors, i.e., many feature weights are exactly zero. Those zero-weight features are eliminated in the next iteration. The empirical results demonstrate that the selected features (genes) have very competitive discriminative power. In addition, the selection process has fast rate of convergence.

Academy of Management AB - A recent theoretical proposal is that relational identification generalizes to organizational identification through affective, cognitive, and behavioral mediating mechanisms. The generalization process is strengthened when a relational other is prototypical—that is, is seen as promoting core organizational values. We investigate these propositions via two field studies. First, we find, via temporally lagged data from 186 newcomers to the telemarketing industry, that relational identification with a supervisor generalizes to organizational identification through affective (i.e., affect transfer), cognitive (i.e., social influence), and behavioral (i.e., behavioral 'sensemaking') mediating mechanisms. Second, we find, via temporally lagged data from 1,101 newcomers to the U.S. Army, that a newcomer's relational identification with his/her supervisor generalizes to the newcomer's organizational identification, but only when the supervisor is perceived to be prototypical. Our combined findings suggest that (1) multiple identifications are more integrative than exclusive and (2) organizational membership may be more personalized and relational than previously assumed in extant research.

AB - Recent severe storm experiences in the U.S. Gulf Coast illustrate the importance of an integrated approach to flood preparedness planning that harmonizes stakeholder and agency efforts. Risk management decisions that are informed by and address decision maker and stakeholder risk perceptions and behavior are essential for effective risk management policy. A literature review and two expert models/mental models studies were undertaken to identify areas of importance in the flood risk management process for layperson, non-USACE-expert, and two USACE-expert groups. In characterizing and mapping stakeholder beliefs about risks in the literature onto current risk management practice, recommendations for accommodating and changing stakeholder perceptions of flood risks and their management are identified. Needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) flood preparedness and response program are discussed in the context of flood risk mental models.

AB - Risk managers are increasingly interested in incorporating stakeholder beliefs and other human factors into the planning process. Effective risk assessment and management requires understanding perceptions and beliefs of involved stakeholders, and how these beliefs give rise to actions that influence risk management decisions. Formal analyses of risk manager and stakeholder cognitions represent an important first step. Techniques for diagramming stakeholder mental models provide one tool for risk managers to better understand stakeholder beliefs and perceptions concerning risk, and to leverage this new understanding in developing risk management strategies. This article reviews three methodologies for assessing and diagramming stakeholder mental models—decision-analysis-based mental modeling, concept mapping, and semantic web analysis—and assesses them with regard to their ability to address risk manager needs.

AB - Behavioral genetics research has revealed that approximately 25% of the variance in measures of the family environment, including parenting, is attributable to genetic factors. However, precisely which candidate genes are associated with the family environment is largely unknown. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Results provide some evidence that three genes of the dopaminergic system (Dopamine D2 receptor gene [DRD2], Dopamine D4 receptor gene [DRD4], and Dopamine transporter gene [DAT1]) are associated with variation in measures of maternal negativity, paternal negativity, and childhood maltreatment for Caucasian males. We speak to what these findings mean for criminological theory and research that focuses on family socialization as an important factor in the etiology of crime and related antisocial behaviors.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the occurrence of visual dysfunctions and associated symptoms in active duty warfighters during the subacute stage of blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements. A reading test should be included in all routine exams as a functional assessment of the integration of oculomotor functions.

AB - Data suggest military personnel involved in U.S. military initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan are returning from deployment with elevated rates of mental health diagnoses, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of this study was to examine difficulties with emotion regulation as a potential contributory mechanism by which soldiers have poorer psychological outcomes, such as depression, dissociation, alcohol abuse, and interpersonal difficulties. Participants were 44 active-duty male service members who comprised three groups, including those deployed with and without diagnosed PTSD and those prior to deployment. Participants in the PTSD group scored significantly higher on measures of self-reported depression, trauma-related dissociation, alcohol misuse, and social adjustment difficulties than did comparison groups. Importantly, difficulties with emotion regulation were found to partially mediate the relationship between PTSD and depression, poor social adjustment, and trauma-related depersonalization but not alcohol misuse. Emotion-regulation difficulties are important to consider in the relationship between PTSD and additional psychological outcomes in recently deployed personnel.

AB - Previous research exploring the relationship between spatial orientation and cognition shows that if balance and orientation are unstable, there is a natural tendency to direct all mental resources to regaining orientation. To expand this line of research, this study examined how disorientation affects aviators’ cognition while actively piloting a flight simulator. Thirty-six UH-60 aviators participated in the study, and were asked to perform cognitive tests (presented aurally) as they flew oriented and disoriented flight profiles. Test accuracy was significantly worse for the disoriented condition than the two oriented conditions for both cognitive tests.

AB - Objectives: The study examined whether elevated rates of externalizing behaviors following deployment could be explained by internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms), and health of the social environment (unit leadership, organizational support, and stigma/barriers to care). Design: A model of combat exposure, social environment, internalizing symptoms, and externalizing behaviors was tested in a military unit following a fifteen‐month deployment to Iraq. The sample included 1,397 soldiers assessed four month post‐deployment; 589 of these soldiers were assessed again nine months post‐deployment. Results Externalizing behaviors were highly stable over the five‐month post‐deployment period. Both social environment and internalizing symptoms were significantly associated with level of externalizing behaviors at four months and nine months post‐deployment, but combat exposure alone significantly predicted change in externalizing behaviors over the follow‐up period. Conclusions: Results suggest the need to broaden the scope of interventions targeted to combat veterans and have implications for care providers and military leaders.

Researchers must also deal with time constraints and the ensuing trade-offs between test length and the number of constructs measured. This article describes a novel way of improving the efficiency of noncognitive assessments using computer adaptive testing (CAT) with multidimensional pairwise preference (MDPP) items. Tests composed of MDPP items are part of a broader family of forced choice measures that ask respondents to choose between two or more equally desirable statements in an effort to combat response distortion. The authors conducted four computer simulations to explore the influences of test design, dimensionality, and the advantages of adaptive item selection for trait score and error estimation with tests involving as many as 25 dimensions. Overall, adaptive MDPP testing produced gains in accuracy over nonadaptive MDPP tests comparable to those observed with traditional unidimensional CATs. In addition, an empirical illustration involving a 15-dimension MDPP CAT administered in a field setting showed patterns of correlations that were consistent with expectations, thus showing construct validity.

AB - Although expectation- and attention-related interactions between ventral and medial prefrontal cortex and stimulus category-selective visual regions have been identified during visual detection and discrimination, it is not known if similar neural mechanisms apply to other tasks such as visual search. The current work tested the hypothesis that high-level frontal regions, previously implicated in expectation and visual imagery of object categories, interact with visual regions associated with object recognition during visual search. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, subjects searched for a specific object that varied in size and location within a complex natural scene. A model-free, spatial-independent component analysis isolated multiple task-related components, one of which included visual cortex, as well as a cluster within ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), consistent with the engagement of both top-down and bottom-up processes. Analyses of psychophysiological interactions showed increased functional connectivity between vmPFC and object-sensitive lateral occipital cortex (LOC), and results from dynamic causal modeling and Bayesian Model Selection suggested bidirectional connections between vmPFC and LOC that were positively modulated by the task. Using image-guided diffusion-tensor imaging, functionally seeded, probabilistic white-matter tracts between vmPFC and LOC, which presumably underlie this effective interconnectivity, were also observed. These connectivity findings extend previous models of visual search processes to include specific frontal–occipital neuronal interactions during a natural and complex search task.

To address this question, the authors introduce a developmental model for character growth. The model proposes that the integration of the leader's core values and beliefs into the self-identity is at the heart of character development. The supporting character strengths of agency, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, and social awareness and connection to others assist in the internalization and integration of core values, beliefs, and moral standards into leaders' identities and also ensure consistent moral and ethical behavior. The authors then introduce the spiritual leadership model and discuss how it can be used to develop character in the workplace. Implications for theory, research, and practice of character development through spiritual leadership are discussed.

Methods: Deploying soldiers (N = 260) completed the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. Cognitive tests, a deployment health-history questionnaire, and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Military Version were completed by subsamples of available participants. Results: The prevalence of positive ASRS screens was 10.4%. ASRS scores were correlated with PTSD avoidance (n = 63, ρ = 0.37, p = 0.003), hyperarousal (n = 63, ρ = 0.25, p = 0.047), and total PTSD scores (n = 62, ρ = 0.33, p = 0.009); and all six moods (e.g., anger, anxiety) scale scores (n = 110; ρ = −0.37 to 0.43). ASRS was also correlated with scores on the match-to-sample (n = 110, ρ = −0.23, p = 0.014) and emotional Stroop (n = 108, ρ = −0.23, p = 0.016) tasks. In addition, a differential pattern between subtypes of ADHD was noted with regard to cognitive functioning, mood, and combat stress symptomatology. Conclusions: Although the results are preliminary given the sample size, the prevalence and comorbidities of ADHD appear to be similar among military and nonmilitary populations.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Introduction: Successful military aviation operations depend on maintaining continuous day-night operations. Stimulants are easy to use and popular for sustaining performance because their utility is not dependent upon environmental or scheduling modifications. Dextroamphetamine is authorized for use by the aircrews of all U.S. military services, but its potential for abuse and subsequent addiction is of aeromedical concern. Finding an alternative stimulant, such as modafinil, that displays a low affinity for dopamine uptake binding sites would prove extremely beneficial. This study sought to establish the efficacy and safety of modafinil during actual flying operations, thus providing the operational validity desired to approve the use of modafinil for helicopter flight operations. Methods: During two, 40-h periods of sustained wakefulness, 18 helicopter pilots (17 men, 1 woman, mean years of age = 29.5) each completed 15 flights and other evaluations, during which they received 2 of 3 experimental conditions: 3 doses at 4-h intervals of modafinil (100 mg), dextroamphetamine (5 mg), or placebo. Results: Statistical results showed that modafinil, like dextroamphetamine, maintained alertness, feelings of well-being, cognitive function, judgment, risk perception, and situation awareness of sleep-deprived aviators consistently better than placebo and without side effects of aeromedical concern. Discussion: Like previous research, this study strongly suggests that both drugs can maintain acceptable levels of mood and performance during sleep deprivation. The results also confirm that modafinil is well tolerated and appears to be a good alternative to dextroamphetamine for countering the debilitating mood and cognitive effects of sleep loss during sustained operations.

AB - In three studies, eye movements of participants were recorded while they viewed a single-slide multimedia presentation about how car brakes work. Some of the participants saw an integrated presentation in which each segment of words was presented near its corresponding area of the diagram (integrated group, Experiments 1 and 3) or an integrated presentation that also included additional labels identifying each part (integrated-with-labels group, Experiment 2), whereas others saw a separated presentation in which the words were presented as a paragraph below the diagrams (separated group, Experiments 1 and 2) or as a legend below the diagrams (legend group, Experiment 3). On measures of cognitive processing during learning, the integrated groups made significantly more eye-movements from text to diagram and vice versa (integrative transitions; d = 1.65 in Experiment 1, d = 0.85 in Experiment 2, and d = 1.44 in Experiment 3) and significantly more eye-movements from the text to the corresponding part of the diagram (corresponding transitions; d = 2.02 in Experiment 1 and d = 1.35 in Experiment 3) than the separated groups. On measures of learning outcome the integrated groups significantly outperformed the separated groups on transfer test score in Experiment 1(d = .80) and Experiment 2 (d = .73) but not in Experiment 3 (d = .35). Spatial contiguity encourages more attempts to integrate words and pictures and enables more successful integration of words and pictures during learning, which can result in meaningful learning outcomes.

Elsevier Inc. 2011. AB - [Retraction notice: A retraction for this article was reported in Vol 25(6) of The Leadership Quarterly (see record [rid]2014-55225-006[/rid]). This article has been retracted at the request of the Senior Editor. After concerns were raised about possible problems of reporting in this paper, the Senior Editor consulted with the two previous Senior Editors of The Leadership Quarterly and a methodologist (M1) (not the claimant) to assess the seriousness of the allegations and to make a preliminary determination concerning the allegations’ merits. All concurred that there were serious problems in this paper. The methodologist (M1) prepared a report outlining the problems and this report was forwarded to a second methodologist (M2) to confirm the correctness of methods used by the first methodologist to detect the problems. The second methodologist attested to the correctness of the first methodologist’s analyses.] Although theory suggests a link between authentic leadership style and follower positivity and performance, little empirical research exists to confirm this notion. Given that scholars have suggested that leadership studies have generally failed to adequately address or include organizational context in prior research, we examine whether two measures of follower positivity—positive emotions and psychological capital—mediate the relationship between authentic leadership and follower job performance in two potentially extreme contexts (i.e., a police and military organization). After first explaining why extreme contexts provide a setting whereby authentic leaders play a more direct role in impacting the positivity of followers, we test several hypotheses. Results of two studies indicated that the frequency of authentic leadership behavior exhibited by leaders was positively related to followers' job performance, and this relationship was partially mediated through followers' positive emotions (Study 1) and fully mediated through leaders' influence on followers' psychological capital (Study 2).

The equilibrium and conservation equations are solved symbolically by the programs to eliminate the approximations that normally would be performed by the student. Of the three programs, Maple performs the best in terms of precision and speed. Mathcad is unable to arrive at a symbolic solution for the system of equations as posed. Mathematica can solve the algebraic problem, but requires additional programming effort to handle instabilities that arise during the calculation of numerical output.

The method presented here is an alternative to the commonly used concentration table method for describing chemical equilibria in general chemistry. In order to test the impact of our method on student learning, we measured the performance of students who used the method. We designated a group of students in our course as the study group, followed their progress through the course, and compared them to other students learning with more traditional approaches. As discussed in the article, we see significant increases in the performance indicators.

Copyright Statement: Human Kinetics, Inc. 2012. AB - Context: Individuals with low back pain (LBP) are thought to benefit from interventions that improve motor control of the lumbopelvic region. It is unknown if therapeutic exercise can acutely facilitate activation of lateral abdominal musculature. Objective: To investigate the ability of 2 types of bridging-exercise progressions to facilitate lateral abdominal muscles during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals with LBP. Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-by-time interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant.

Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has been described as the most common form of traumatic brain injury within military populations; however, few epidemiologic studies have examined incidence rates for mTBI in this population. The objective of this study was to examine trends in the incidence of mTBI among active-duty U.S. service members between 1997 and 2007. Specifically, we were interested in evaluating trends in the incidence rates in relation to the initiation of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. A retrospective cohort study was conducted utilizing data extracted from the Defense Medical Surveillance System to identify all incident cases of mTBI within the study population. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence rate of mTBI per 1000 person-years. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to analyze the data. There were 98,012 mTBI cases and 14,956,955 person-years of follow-up, for an overall incidence rate of 6.55 (95% CI 6.51,6.59) per 1000 person-years. There was a steady increase in the mTBI rate over time. The average change in the mTBI rate was 8.5% (95% CI 8.2%,8.8%) per year; however, the rate rose dramatically in the last 2 years of the study period. Overall, for 2006–2007 versus 1997–2005, the rate ratio was 1.61 (95% CI 1.58,1.65). The greatest increase in the rate of mTBI was observed among those serving in Iraq, who experienced a 38.4% (95% CI 35.4%,41.1%) annual increase in new cases. The observed increase in the incidence of mTBI in this population has significant policy implications in terms of allocating appropriate health care resources.

Copyright Statement: International Forum of Educational Technology & Society (IFETS) AB - It has been long recognized that successful human tutors are capable of adapting instruction to mitigate barriers (e.g., withdrawal or frustration) to learning during the one-to-one tutoring process. A significant part of the success of human tutors is based on their perception of student affect (e.g., mood or emotions). To at least match the capabilities of human tutors, computer-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) will need to 'perceive' student affect and improve performance by selecting more effective instructional strategies (e.g., feedback). To date, ITS have fallen short in realizing this capability. Much of the existing research models the emotions of virtual characters rather than assessing the affective state of the student. Our goal was to determine the context and importance of student mood in an adaptable ITS model. To enhance our existing model, we evaluated procedural reasoning systems used in virtual characters, and reviewed behavioral and physiological sensing methods and predictive models of affect. Our experiment focused on passive capture of behaviors (e.g., mouse movement) during training to predict the student’s mood. The idea of mood as a constant during training and predictors of performance are also discussed.

AB - Objectives: Several studies have examined the relationship between concussion/mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and postdeployment symptoms. These studies indicate that the multiple factors involved in postdeployment symptoms are not accounted for in the screening processes of the Department of Defense/Veteran’s Affairs months after concussion injuries. This study examined the associations of single and multiple deployment-related mTBIs on postdeployment health. Methods: A total of 1502 U.S. Army soldiers were administered anonymous surveys 4 to 6 months after returning from deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan assessing history of deployment-related concussions, current PTSD, depression, and presence of postdeployment physical and neurocognitive symptoms. Results: Of these soldiers, 17% reported an mTBI during their previous deployment. Of these, 59% reported having more than one. After adjustment for PTSD, depression, and other factors, loss of consciousness was significantly associated with three postconcussive symptoms, including headaches (odds ratio [OR] = 1.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1-2.3). However, these symptoms were more strongly associated with PTSD and depression than with a history of mTBI. Multiple mTBIs with loss of consciousness increased the risk of headache (OR = 4.0, 95% CI = 2.4-6.8) compared with a single occurrence, although depression (OR = 4.2, 95% CI = 2.6-6.8) remained as strong a predictor. Conclusions: These data indicate that current screening tools for mTBI being used by the Department of Defense/Veteran’s Affairs do not optimally distinguish persistent postdeployment symptoms attributed to mTBI from other causes such as PTSD and depression. Accumulating evidence strongly supports the need for multidisciplinary collaborative care models of treatment in primary care to collectively address the full spectrum of postwar physical and neurocognitive health concerns.

AB - Swift starting action teams (STATs) are increasingly prevalent in organizations, and the development of trust is often a critical issue for their effectiveness. However, current theory and research do not provide a clear picture regarding how trust toward the team (i.e., the team as the target) is developed in these settings. The primary contribution of this article is to present a theoretical framework describing how individual-level trust toward one’s team is developed in STAT contexts. This article integrates several existing trust theories into one comprehensive context-specific multilevel theory of how trust develops in STATs from cognitive, affective, behavioral, and contextual perspectives. This framework furthers our understanding of the unique antecedents of initial trust in STATs, how trust attitudes are adjusted over the short amount of time the team interacts, and how the team context influences this developmental process.

AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has received much attention due to high rates of this injury in Service Members returning from the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts. This study examined cognitive performance in Service Members tested with ANAM prior to and following deployment. The sample was divided into a control group (n = 400) reporting no TBI injury prior to or during most recent deployment, and a group who self-reported a TBI injury (n = 502) during most recent deployment. This latter group was divided further based on self-report of post-concussion symptoms at post-deployment testing. All three groups performed similarly at pre-deployment. The group reporting TBI with active symptoms performed worst at post-deployment and included the highest percentage of individuals showing significant decline in cognitive performance over time (30.5%). A small sample of symptomatic individuals with a non-TBI reported injury did not demonstrate similar declines in performance, suggesting that active symptoms alone cannot account for these findings. Of those reporting a TBI injury during deployment, 70% demonstrated no significant change in cognitive performance compared with baseline. Although the exact etiology of observed declines is uncertain, findings indicate that individuals who self-report TBI during deployment with active symptomatology at post-deployment are at greatest risk for declines in cognitive performance. These individuals can be identified using self-report and brief computer-based testing. Importantly, the majority of active-duty individuals reporting TBI during deployment do not present with lasting significant cognitive impairment, a finding consistent with the civilian literature on mild TBI.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - In response to an apparent clustering of homicides at Fort Carson, Colorado, the U.S. Army Public Health Command (formerly the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine) Behavioral and Social Health Outcomes Program conducted a multidisciplinary epidemiologic consultation to identify factors contributing to violent behavior among soldiers at Fort Carson. This article summarizes the findings of the epidemiologic consultation report as provided to the Secretary of the Army and the Fort Carson Senior Mission Commander and released in its entirety publicly July 2009 and elaborates on the mixed-methods analytic approach used to study a complex behavioral issue at the community level. To aid in answering the key study questions, six study arms were designed and carried out: (1) index case analysis, (2) confinee interviews, (3) analysis of installation-level trends, (4) retrospective cohort analysis, (5) soldier focus groups and interviews, and (6) aggression risk factors survey. Although not conclusive, the findings suggest a combination of individual, unit, and environmental factors converged to increase the risk of violent behaviors, which made clustering of negative outcomes more likely.

AB - In this study we assessed the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and accident involvement among U.S. Army aviators. Two scales reflecting internality or externality were created based on a priori assignment of items. Items were also subjected to principal components analysis, and 6 empirical scales were identified from that analysis. Correlations were computed between the 2 a priori scales, the 6 empirical scales identified by the principal components analysis, involvement in hazardous events, and recent and total career accident involvement. Several of the LOC measures correlated significantly with recent accident involvement. However, only 1 measure was correlated with career accident involvement. Applications of the results in the development of safety training interventions and the evaluation of training programs are discussed.

AB - Both conventional understanding and positive psychology recognise an important link between people's character strengths and how they perform their jobs. However, no research to date has focused on the relationship of employees' wisdom strengths, potential mediating effects and creative task performance. Utilising a large heterogeneous sample (N = 974) of working adults, this study found that participants' levels of the character strengths of wisdom were positively related to their performance on a creative task and negatively related to their reported level of stress. In addition, stress was found to be negatively related to creative task performance, with reported stress partly mediating the relationship between participants' wisdom and their performance on the creative task. Implications for incorporating character strengths in the development of HRM theory and practice conclude the article.

AB - Objective: A military multitasking environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent agent, RoboLeader, on the performance of robotics operators. Background: The participants’ task was to manage a team of ground robots with the assistance of RoboLeader, an intelligent agent capable of coordinating the robots and changing their routes on the basis of battlefield developments. Method: In the first experiment, RoboLeader was perfectly reliable; in the second experiment, RoboLeader’s recommendations were manipulated to be either false-alarm prone or miss prone, with a reliability level of either 60% or 90%. The visual density of the targeting environment was manipulated by the presence or absence of friendly soldiers. Results: RoboLeader, when perfectly reliable, was helpful in reducing the overall mission times. The type of RoboLeader imperfection (false-alarm vs. miss prone) affected operators’ performance of tasks involving visual scanning (target detection, route editing, and situation awareness). There was a consistent effect of visual density (clutter of the visual scene) for multiple performance measures. Participants’ attentional control and video gaming experience affected their overall multitasking performance. In both experiments, participants with greater spatial ability consistently outperformed their low-spatial-ability counterparts in tasks that required effective visual scanning. Conclusion: Intelligent agents, such as RoboLeader, can benefit the overall human-robot teaming performance. However, the effects of type of agent unreliability, tasking requirements, and individual differences have complex effects on human-agent interaction. Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of robots in military settings and will provide useful data to designs of systems for multirobot control.

AB - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of using neurological imaging to classify transformational leaders, versus non-transformational leaders, as identified through existing psychometric methods. Specifically, power spectral analysis measures based on electroencephalograms (EEG) were used to develop and validate a discriminant function that can classify individuals according to their transformational leadership behavior. Resting, eyes closed EEG was recorded from 19 scalp locations for 200 civilian and military leaders. We also assessed follower or peer perceptions of transformational leadership through the use of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). Our discriminant analysis, which involved a two-step, neural variable reduction and selection process, was 92.5% accurate in its classification of leaders. Patterns in the spectral measures of the brain of leaders, including activity and network dynamic metrics, are discussed as potential correlates of transformational leadership behavior. The current work provides a better understanding of the latent and dynamic neurological mechanisms that may underpin the transformational leadership qualities of individuals.

AB - Objective: Few peripheral metabolites have been shown to be associated with mood in healthy individuals or patients with central nervous system diseases. During military basic combat training (BCT), mood state, physical performance and body composition substantially improve, providing an opportunity to examine relationships between mood and nutritional and hormonal biomarkers. Method: Thirty-five females enrolled in U.S. Marine BCT, an intense physically and mentally challenging 12-week course, were studied. Every 4 weeks, mood was assessed with the Profile of Mood States (POMS), as were nutritional, metabolic and hormonal plasma markers. Results: Mood and fitness improved over BCT, and there were substantial changes in biochemical markers. Multiple regression demonstrated that, in combination, cholesterol (HDL, LDL), fructosamine, triglycerides, free fatty acids (FFA), dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), ACTH, and substance P accounted for 44% of variation in anxiety, 40% confusion, 37% fatigue, 27% depression and 40% in total mood (p < .0001). Increased HDL, FFA, DHEA-S, and substance P were associated with degraded mood (p < .05). Increased LDL, triglycerides, fructosamine, and ACTH were associated with improved mood (p < .05). Other markers, including glucose, cortisol, and C-reactive protein were not associated with mood. Conclusions: Normal human mood state was associated with 8 plasma markers. Increased HDL and lower LDL, which are associated with improved cardiovascular status, were associated with negative affect. Fructosamine and substance P, not previously known to be related to mood, were associated with it. We are not aware of any biological parameters that in aggregate predict such a substantial proportion of variation in normal mood.

AB - Caffeine has become the most prevalently consumed psychostimulant in the world, but its influences on daily real-world functioning are relatively unknown. The present work investigated the effects of caffeine (0 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg) on a commonplace language task that required readers to identify and correct 4 error types in extended discourse: simple local errors (misspelling 1- to 2-syllable words), complex local errors (misspelling 3- to 5-syllable words), simple global errors (incorrect homophones), and complex global errors (incorrect subject-verb agreement and verb tense). In 2 placebo-controlled, double-blind studies using repeated-measures designs, we found higher detection and repair rates for complex global errors, asymptoting at 200 mg in low consumers (Experiment 1) and peaking at 400 mg in high consumers (Experiment 2). In both cases, covariate analyses demonstrated that arousal state mediated the relationship between caffeine consumption and the detection and repair of complex global errors. Detection and repair rates for the other 3 error types were not affected by caffeine consumption. Taken together, we demonstrate that caffeine has differential effects on error detection and repair as a function of dose and error type, and this relationship is closely tied to caffeine's effects on subjective arousal state. These results support the notion that central nervous system stimulants may enhance global processing of language-based materials and suggest that such effects may originate in caffeine-related right hemisphere brain processes. Implications for understanding the relationships between caffeine consumption and real-world cognitive functioning are discussed.

To bridge this gap, we propose that we need to evaluate how variables affecting team effectiveness manifest, evolve, and affect performance in complex teams utilizing existing theory within and outside of our discipline. Moreover, we propose that more sophisticated methodological approaches that result in improvements in our ability to measure the phenomena of interest are necessary.

AB - Psychological resilience appears to provide a degree of inoculation against some of the most difficult mental health issues currently plaguing the U.S. military. However, the mechanisms which fuel resilience are relatively unexplored. This study explored the hypothesis that perceived psychological resilience mediates the relationship between various sport-related psychological skills and indicators of PTSD. The sample was 351 Stryker Brigade soldiers who had at least one previous combat deployment. Results showed that perceived psychological resilience fully mediates the relationship between three sport-related psychological skill factors and indicators of PTSD. These results suggest that sport-related psychological skills may play a role in the development of perceived psychological resilience, which in turn, influences PTSD.

The literature review encompassed modes of adapting ranging from classroom research to experimental investigations. Army instructors were interviewed to determine how they adapted instruction and the factors that impacted adapting. Integrating these efforts showed that the modes of adapting found in the literature and modes common to the Army did not overlap greatly. Army courses and populations also differed substantially from those in the literature. The research needed to address the major gaps between the academic and Army settings is discussed.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) AB - While videogames can easily be tailored to provide 'adaptive training,' little research exists examining whether this benefit enhances training outcomes. The current study investigated three task difficulty manipulations and the moderating role of personality. Participants engaged in six 7-minute missions in a videogame-based training task. Openness to experience and neuroticism, but not conscientiousness, interacted with task difficulty condition such that trainees higher in these traits performed better over the course of training in the adaptive condition. These results suggest that adaptive training can result in the greatest performance improvement when the trainee’s personality is suited to the instructional environment.

Copyright Statement: U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral Sciences AB - The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could address different skill levels across soldiers. A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier’s skill level and that the combined adaptive- training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.

AB - This investigation examined links between trait anger and selective attention to threats and rewards. Existing research has focused mainly on trait anxiety and is equally consistent with several competing theoretical accounts of trait emotion and visual attention. Both valence-based and motivation-based accounts predict that trait anxiety would be associated with biased attention toward threats. In contrast, a valence-based account predicts that trait anger would be associated with biased attention toward threats, whereas a motivation-based account predicts that it would be associated with biased attention toward rewards. To test these predictions, we measured trait anxiety, trait anger and selective attention to threats and rewards. Consistent with a motivation-based account, we found that trait anger was associated with selective attention toward rewarding but not threatening information, whereas trait anxiety was associated with selective attention toward threatening but not rewarding information.

AB - Current governmental practices often use a method called weight of evidence (WoE) to integrate and weigh different sources of information in the process of reaching a decision. Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience have identified WoE‐like processes in the brain, and we believe that these advances have the potential to improve current decision‐making practices. In this article, we describe five specific areas where knowledge emerging from cognitive neuroscience may be applied to the challenges confronting decisionmakers who manage risks: (1) quantifying evidence, (2) comparing the value of different sources of evidence, (3) reaching a decision, (4) illuminating the role of subjectivity, and (5) adapting to new information. We believe that the brain is an appropriate model for structuring decision‐making processes because the brain's network is designed for complex, flexible decision making, and because policy decisions that must ultimately depend on human judgment will be best served by methods that complement human abilities. Future discoveries in cognitive neuroscience will likely bring further applications to decision practice.

AB - The present research examined positive and negative leadership behaviors as predictors of stigma and practical barriers to mental health treatment. Soldiers completed measures of noncommissioned officer (NCO) and officer leadership, stigma, and practical barriers to getting mental health treatment at 2, 3, and 4 months following a 15-month deployment to Afghanistan. The results revealed that positive and negative NCO and officer leader behaviors were predictive of overall stigma and barriers to care (collapsed across the three time periods), with only NCO positive and negative behaviors being uniquely predictive of stigma when included in the same model with officer behaviors. In addition, negative and positive NCO leader behaviors were predictive of stigma within participants over the course of the three month time period, and positive NCO leader behaviors were inversely related to practical barriers to mental health treatment within participants across the same time period. The results are discussed in terms of how different leader behaviors may be linked to different factors influencing a soldier's decision to seek mental health treatment.

AB - Since 2004, suicides in the U.S. military have risen, most notably in the Army National Guard (ARNG). Data used in this study were obtained for suicides occurring from 2007 to 2010 and for a random sample of nonsuicides from the general ARNG population. Of the military-related variables considered, a few showed relationships to suicide. Rather, the primary variables associated with suicide were soldier background characteristics, including age (17-24 years), race (White), and gender (male). Cluster analysis revealed two distinct suicide groups: 'careerists' (about one third of all suicides) and 'first-termers' (about two thirds of all suicides), each group exhibiting different concurrent behavioral problems.

AB - In the decade following the attack on the World Trade Center, over 2.3 million American military personnel were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Lengthy tours of duty and multiple re-deployments were characteristic of these operations. Research findings demonstrate that prolonged exposure to combat increases the risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current study was a randomized controlled clinical trial designed to assess the effectiveness of a novel intervention to treat combat-related PTSD in returning Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) warfighters. A cognitive behavior treatment approach augmented with virtual reality exposure therapy (VRE) was developed, and administered for 10 treatment sessions over 5 weeks. Comparisons with a control group receiving minimal attention (MA) for 5 weeks revealed that the VRE group had significant reductions in the avoidance/numbing symptoms on the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS). The VRE group also had significant reductions in guilt at post-treatment compared to the control group.

A particularly exciting avenue of this line of research is the use of environmental enrichment as a behavioral-based approach for treating drug abuse and dependence. The primary goal of this chapter will be to highlight evidence demonstrating that exposure to environmental enrichment reduces the primary rewarding and reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, as well as craving during periods of drug withdrawal and protracted abstinence. Preclinical studies utilizing the behavioral sensitization, conditioned place preference, self-administration, and extinction/reinstatement models of drug abuse will be the primary focus. In this context, the environmental enrichment paradigm will be discussed in terms of its efficacy as both a preventative approach (i.e., introduced prior to drug exposure) and as an intervention strategy (i.e., introduced after the development of a drug dependence). In addition, the leading theories regarding the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the beneficial effects of environmental enrichment will be discussed. There will also be a discussion examining how the component parts of environmental enrichment (i.e., exercise, social reinforcement, novelty) have each demonstrated utility on their own as potential drug abuse therapies. Finally, some perspective on the translational implications that environmental enrichment has for treating clinical drug abuse populations will be provided.

Page Count: 31. AB - After the completion of Project A and Career Force, some believed that there was little need for future selection and classification research in the Army. There was much that was learned in Project A, both about the nature of performance and about the manner in which measures of various types of attributes related to different components of job performance. But far from sounding the death knell of selection research, Project A actually stimulated a number of new research initiatives. This impact was seen most profoundly in the realm of noncognitive measures. Project A offered hope that such measures could be used to provide a more comprehensive assessment of individual capabilities than could cognitive measures alone.

AB - There are a number of significant characteristics regarding past and present Army aviation research. One involves the recognition of the value of interservice coordination. Just as early Army research made important contributions to the Air Force’s pilot selection program, more recently the Army has constructively exploited the research developments of other services. The second characteristic is the multi-dimensional nature of the selection and classification tests used. From the beginning of this research history, there was a recognition that there was no single test that would adequately predict aviation success. Cognitive ability, personality/background, psychomotor and spatial tests have all been proposed to cover the multiple skills and characteristics believed to be associated with the complex and challenging tasks associated with flying aircraft, whether they be fixed wing or rotary wing.

AB - From their early roots in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), it was clear to Army personnel involved in Special Operations Forces (SOF) activities that standard selection measures would not be sufficient to identity personnel with the requisite physical and psychological traits to function in the challenging environments they would likely confront. Therefore, throughout its history, SOF selection has involved a much broader range of testing that befits the special nature of these units. Investing time and energy into the development and implementation of effective selection methods for these units is essential, given the strategic importance of their missions. To the extent that products of these efforts can be successfully applied to selection needs in conventional forces, both groups ultimately benefit.

AB - Enlisted research reported in this book, particularly the Project A and Career Force research, give us a context for interpreting the results from the diverse officer investigations. It teaches us that there are a range of outcomes that represent overall job success, and that the personal characteristics supporting one type of outcome tend to be different than the characteristics supporting another type. One of these outcomes is job proficiency, measured by hands-on and written tests. If we want to predict job proficiency, particularly written tests of proficiency, then cognitive tests of verbal or quantitative aptitude do quite well. This is particularly the case when success is measured in terms of classroom performance. These results held true for officers much as they did for enlisted soldiers.

AB - Enlistment into the military can be viewed as a two-step process: the successful applicant first passes selection screens on mental, physical, educational, and moral criteria, and then signs an enlistment contract that stipulates an accession date with initial entry training in a particular Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). As mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, the classification enterprise involves two distinct problems. One centers on development and selection of tests which comprise the classification battery. The other concerns procedures for using the test scores to classify individuals, given a particular battery of predictors; this is the classification problem per se.

Yet, the research history described in this book is something quite different. It is a story of applied research, devoted to solving specific, pressing problems that have affected hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the security and sovereignty of our nation. This story is inextricably linked with Army history. It involves Army and civilian researchers not in isolation, but collaboratively with military leaders to identify the research problems and needs regarding the selection and classification of Army personnel. These researchers and military leaders worked together to determine the aptitudes, cognitive ability, and individual characteristics needed to be successful in Army jobs and to accomplish Army missions. Thus, from the outset our goal was not just to describe the research methods, but also to describe the context watch gave these methods meaning and purpose.

AB - Military training has been going on since armies were first organized. The goal of military training is to provide soldiers and units with the skills and knowledge necessary to maintain effective and ready military forces. This goal is accomplished by individual training of soldiers on the skills and knowledge their military occupational specialty requires, and collective training of units to perform their assigned missions with coordination and synchronization. Training development needs to keep pace with the introduction of new equipment and technology, and adaptive enemies. This chapter discusses conducting applied military research; army training in transition; scenario-based training; adaptive training; learning in virtual environments; and distributed multiplayer games.

AB - Since 2001, the United States has been continuously engaged in military conflicts around the world, most notably in Afghanistan and Iraq. This chapter is designed as a practical guide to help prepare and support civilian caregivers working with service members and veterans who may be at increased suicide risk. The chapter provides a discussion of relevant military culture and practices, an overview of factors that contribute to suicide among military and veteran populations, and a list of resources for preventing suicide among service members and veterans. The chapter is also intended to complement the other chapters of this book, which offers a summary of empirically based practices and standards of care for the prevention and treatment of suicide and related behaviors. Key concepts and issues discussed in this chapter include the following points. Screen for mental disorders, including potential substance abuse issues, suicidality, and suicide risk factors for. early detection, prevention, and intervention. Integrate both protective and risk factors in assessment, case conceptualization, risk level determination, and treatment planning. Also, directly treat any suicidality in addition to mental disorders. Coordinate a comprehensive and collaborative safety plan that includes managing access to lethal means, leveraging community resources, and coordination across the treatment team. Always consider access to weapons as part of safety planning. Consider leveraging military leadership and other collateral resources (military treatment facility providers, chaplains, family support, and legal resources). In addition, ensure informed consent and appropriate releases before coordinating information and support from collateral sources. Use the Veterans Crisis Line, general resources for service members, veterans, and family members; and provider consultation as part of safety planning. Be aware of the broad range of Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other resources, many of which are described in the appendix to this chapter.

Page Count: 26. AB - Throughout government organizations, and the public sector more broadly, there are numerous examples of multiteam systems (MTSs). These systems of teams—or a reasonable facsimile thereof—exist in numerous organizations, often in the 'middle management' layers where coordination between multiple agencies and organizations is a critical point of failure. Here we attempt to provide an array of examples of governmental and public sector multiteam systems operating in a variety of contexts—specifically, railway management in the Netherlands, public safety in Canada for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and security force assistance and stabilization operations from a U.S. military perspective. Through these descriptions, we hope to provide a sense of the richness and complexity of multiteam systems as they exist in the public sector as well as some of the particular challenges faced in these types of organizations. Following the general structure and key facets of multiteam systems described elsewhere in this volume, we have structured these descriptions in terms of component teams, tasks, goals, nature of interdependence, and other relevant team and multiteam attributes. The description of the component teams within the system addresses the nature of each team and its sourcing organization, the functions to be performed, and temporal aspects of the team. The tasks and goals include those of the multiteam system as a whole (e.g., maintain public safety and security at the Winter Olympics), those of the individual component teams, as well as the relevant goals of the sourcing organizations—which may often conflict with those of the multiteam system in important ways. The nature of interdependence is addressed in terms of shared resources, common environmental conditions, interteam and intrasystem interaction requirements, and outcome interdependencies. Finally, other notable attributes of the multiteam systems and component teams are discussed, including notable core values and norms of behavior, domains of expertise, aspects of the team or multiteam history, leadership structures, fluidity of personnel, membership, and structural linkages, among other notable features.

AB - Beginning with the major wars of the twentieth century and continuing to the current conflicts of the twenty-first century, war pushed paradigm shifts in a variety of scientific disciplines, including psychology. Psychology and its closely associated disciplines are critical to success in contemporary war, and this need will lead to revolutionary developments in the science and practice of psychology. Collectively, the topics covered in this handbook describe the myriad ways that modern psychology influences warfare, and vice versa. Advances made in military psychology influence all sub-disciplines of psychology. This chapter synthesizes the themes drawn from the chapters in this book and explores potential future directions for military psychology. There are few other sub-disciplines of psychology that are as broad and far-reaching or where the potential exists to influence the lives of so many people.

This chapter takes an ecological approach to QOL in the U. S. military to highlight its complex and dynamic nature as well as to stress how service members, their families, and institutions interact In ways that may affect QOL. We begin with an examination of physical and psychological factors that affect the health and well-being of the service member and follow with the social and economic impacts of military life on both the individual and the family. Next we explore the meaning and utility of community—both local and institutional—and discuss formal support interactions between the military member, the family, and their communities. Finally the chapter concludes with a summary of leadership and policy impacts for military QOL and recommendations for further research.

AB - This chapter explores the meaning of the film Groundhog Day relative to social-psychological elements of boredom. The chapter presents the popular film Groundhog Day featuring actor Bill Murray as a metaphor for American soldiers' experiences in Iraq. American soldiers and others in Iraq referred to their experience as akin to the film. Groundhog Day is a spatio-temporal displacement film, a comedic love story featuring personal redemption in order for the main character to successfully transform. Groundhog Day—the day—has spiritual and nature roots and represents the transition to springtime. All religions find utility in the film's leitmotif, and Bill Murray represents a character regularly cast in transitional roles. The chapter highlights direct references to the film from those with experience in Iraq and presents some interpretations of the film itself that are illustrative of the American experience in Iraq. The chapter concludes with some future directions for research by social psychologists and applications for practitioners interested in soldiering, film, and boredom.

AB - Military psychologists have made significant contributions to training methods and media design. The introduction of a systems approach to training has brought order to the system. Development of individual training methods for both the schoolhouse and distance education and training have allowed for continuing skill development over the course of a career. Engagement simulation technology and the After Action Review (AAR) process brought realism and an effective way to discuss lessons learned. Simulator systems such as Simulator Network (SIMNET), Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), and Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) have lowered the cost of training, while still exposing trainees to the full complexities of combat without the associated danger. Today's emphasis on cognitive tasks and decision making takes training to the next level from knowing 'how to' to knowing 'when and where to.' Future work for military psychologists will include automating training processes and developing training methods to support the teaching of cultural adaptation.

AB - In attempts to improve soldier training, adaptation, and performance, military psychologists have traditionally focused on cognitive processes such as situation awareness and decision making. Recent developments in psychology, however, point to the interaction between cognitive and non-cognitive factors in influencing training, adaptation, and performance. This chapter describes contemporary research in cognitive and non-cognitive processes that combine to influence soldier performance. Cognitive processes examined include situation awareness and intuitive decision-making. Personality, character, and other non-cognitive factors now known to affect soldier training, adaptation, and performance are explored in depth. Implications for force selection, training, and sustainment are evaluated.

AB - Researchers have recently become interested in examining how leadership might differ in dangerous environments relative to more conventional settings. This chapter outlines a 'replenishment-of-resources' framework to address this question. The framework proposes that, on the team level, dangerous environments act to deplete the cognitive, affective, and behavioral resources of units operating in such environments; and that effective leadership in these contexts functions to replenish some of these resources and substitutes for others. More specifically, the framework argues that (a) dangerous environments can be defined by the nature and degree of threat they contain; that (b) both the type of threat and the limitations present in team characteristics determine resource depletion; and that (c) four distinctive leadership resources can function to replenish the various cognitive, affective, and behavioral deficits created by the threatening aspects of the context and the limitations of the team. The chapter concludes with a consideration of the implications of the framework for team performance in dangerous contexts.

It describes the evolution of enlisted selection and classification measures from Army Alpha and Beta in 1917 to current explorations into non-cognitive tools. Major developments, such as the transition from service-specific test batteries to the joint service Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and the joint service project to link enlistment standards to job performance, are given special attention. Officer screening has evolved separately from enlisted screening, and is given separate treatment in this chapter. Both enlisted testing and officer testing have been characterized by a historical progression from fairly broad measures of cognitive ability to a more comprehensive approach, involving not only an expansion of the cognitive components assessed, but also an increasing attention to non-cognitive dimensions. While enlisted and officer testing have many features in common, two themes that have received more emphasis in officer selection are the work in identifying measures that predict aviation success, and the development of realistic assessment centers to validate predictors of officer success. The success of the military in developing enlisted and officer measures that predict important outcomes is a major chapter focus.

Given the relevance of the study of human behavior to the profession of arms, military psychology represents the concatenation of the numerous specialties and subfields of the discipline in the context of the military. Military psychology contributes to recruiting, training, socializing, assigning, employing, deploying, motivating, rewarding, maintaining, managing, integrating, retaining, transitioning, supporting, counseling, and healing military members. These areas are hardly distinct, and the chapters in this handbook have contents that cross these boundaries. This introductory chapter discusses the need for psychology in the military and offers a summary of the chapter contents.

AB - The critical link between psychology and the military is important to recruiting, training, socializing, assigning, motivating, managing, transitioning, and counseling military members. These areas are hardly distinct, and the chapter in this text have contents that cross these many boundaries. Collectively, the topics covered in this volume describe the myriad ways in which modern psychology influences warfare, and vice versa. The extensive topics included come from within the areas of clinical, industrial/organizational, experimental, engineering, and social psychology. The contributors are top international experts in military psychology—some uniformed soldiers, others academics and clinicians, and others civilian employees of the military or other government agencies. They address important areas in which the science and practice of psychology supports military personnel in their varied and complex missions. Among the topics addressed here are suitability for service, leadership, decision-making, training, terrorism, socio-cultural competencies, diversity and cohesion, morale, quality of life, ethical challenges, and mental health and fitness. The focus is psychology's potential to influence the decisive human dimension of military effectiveness. The chapters of this handbook provide an overview of modern military psychology and its influence on the military and society.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - We examined the relative effectiveness of hardiness and grit as predictors of performance and retention among first year cadets at the USMA. Based on past research and theory, we expected that both hardiness and grit would predict unique variance in performance and retention even after controlling for past performance as measured by the Whole Candidate Score. Results of regression analyses revealed that hardiness and grit predicted unique variance in first year retention, but only hardiness predicted first year performance at USMA. These findings suggest that hardiness assessment and training may prove valuable in enhancing performance and retention within military training environments.

Copyright Statement: Division 19 (Society for Military Psychology) of the American Psychological Association AB - This study sought to investigate what happens to trainee performance when an individual sets an unrealistically difficult performance goal early in training, which results in a large goal-performance discrepancy. Data from 185 trainees participating in a videogame-based training environment demonstrated that a single large discrepancy negatively impacts immediate subsequent training performance. Moreover, performance avoid goal orientation and self-efficacy were found to jointly moderate the impact of the discrepancy for both trainees’ immediate subsequent performance and their rate of performance improvement across the training program. These findings highlight the importance of realistic goal-setting and trainee self-efficacy for optimizing videogame-based training success.

AB - This paper analyzes the spatial dimensions of office layouts in diverse knowledge-intensive workplace environments based on the theoretical and methodological propositions of Space Syntax, and brings this together with the analysis of intra-organizational interaction networks. Physical distances between agents are modeled in different ways and used as explanatory variables in exponential random graph modeling. The paper shows that spatial configuration in offices can be considered an important but not sole rationale for tie formation. Furthermore, it is shown that spatial distance measures based on detailed configurational analysis outperform simple Euclidean distance metrics in predicting social ties.

AB - Leadership is the ability to responsibly influence others to work collaboratively in pursuit of common goals. To the extent that the Army often demands of its leaders the ability to manage others through ambiguous, ill-defined situations. West Point's students (commonly referred to as cadets) must be empowered with the capacity to anticipate and respond effectively to the uncertainties of a changing world. Such emphasis requires the design and implementation of a learning system that empowers students to challenge their existing frames of reference. An empowering learning system will situate student learning in the center of the organization and realign the collegial culture and corresponding support mechanisms around a learning process that is collaborative, creative, critically reflective, actively engaging, and integrative. The assessment of student learning outcomes is an opportunity for all stakeholders to evaluate the level of student competence in each learning sphere and to determine the extent to which the learning system supports students' corresponding development. West Point has long been recognized as an institution dedicated to the transformation of students into Army officers who are capable of successfully leading others through the ambiguous challenges that confront a changing world. Although West Point's mission—to produce leaders of character for the Army—has changed little in over two hundred years, its approach to accomplishing the mission has changed dramatically, from a pedagogical emphasis on attrition to one more oriented toward development. This case study focuses on the lessons learned at West Point since 1990 in its efforts to design and implement a learning system for leader development.

AB - Reports an error in 'Strategies African-American cancer survivors use to overcome fears and fatalistic attitudes' by Jill B. Hamilton, Nakia C. Best, Kayoll V. Galbraith, Valarie C. Worthy and Angelo D. Moore (Journal of Cancer Education, 2015[Dec], Vol 30[4], 629-635). Due to an oversight in the original article, Dr. Angelo D. Moore’s name was listed incorrectly (as L.A. Moore) in PubMed as well as in the article itself (L.A.D. Moore). (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2016-24279-005[/rid]). This qualitative study explored strategies African-American cancer survivors use to overcome their fears and fatalistic attitudes toward cancer at the point of diagnosis through completion of treatment. Thirty-one African-American cancer survivors who had completed or nearly completed treatment were recruited through criterion purposeful sampling. In-depth, open-ended interviews were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Of the 31 survivors interviewed, 26 reported being fearful of cancer and believed that cancer would result in death. These cancer survivors were particularly fearful of having a cancer had spread, of being isolated, and performing less effectively at work. Strategies used to overcome these fears included increasing their own awareness about cancer, using positive self-talk, and avoiding negative people. The findings suggest that past experiences continue to influence fears and fatalistic perspectives about cancer and that educational resources to inform the public about cancer may be ignored until there is a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. Televised news broadcasts of high-profile personalities who had died from cancer were also anxiety provoking, particularly if the cancer survivor died of a recurrence from cancer. Prevalent sources of information and support for these survivors were family members or close friends they trusted with personal information, perceived as strong, or experienced in the care of other cancer survivors.

Functional deficits and insulin-like growth factor-I gene expression following tourniquet-induced injury of skeletal muscle in young and old rats. JAppi Physiol 105: 1274-1281,2008. First published July 31, 2008; doi: 10.11 52/japplphysiol.9041 8.2008.-This study investigated the effect of age on recovery of skeletal muscle from an ischemia-reperfusion (LIR)-induced injury. Young (6 mo old) and old (24-27 mo old) Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a 2-h bout of hindlimb ischemia induced by a pneumatic tourniquet (TK). The TK was released to allow reperfusion of the affected limb, and animals were divided into 7and 14-day recovery groups. Maximum plantar flexor force production was assessed in both 7and 14-day recovery groups of both ages, followed by histological evaluation. Subsequent analysis of IGF-I gene expression and intracellular signaling in 7-day recovery muscles was performed by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Old rats had significantly greater deficits in force production and exhibited more evidence of histological pathology than young at both 7 and 14 days postinjury. In addition, old rats demonstrated an attenuated upregulation of IGF-I mRNA and induction of proanabolic signaling compared with young in response to injury. We conclude that aged skeletal muscle exhibits more damage and/or defective regeneration following hR and identify an age-associated decrease in local IGF-I responsiveness as a potential mechanism for this phenomenon.

The study aims to find out if elevated circulating hormones regulate the signaling response of RE due to Akt. It is participated by seven healthy men who executed lower-body RE protocols particularly knee extensions for three weeks. It includes RE protocols which contain low-circulating hormonal concentration (LHC) trial, high-volume upper-body, and high-circulating hormonal concentration (HHC) trial. The study finds out that HHC trial has greater growth hormone (GH), ribosomal protein kinase, phosphorylation, glycogen synthase kinase-3², and cortisol concentrations than LHC trial.

The researchers allowed the twenty-two men participants to complete a 4-d baseline period (BL) of an energy balance diet while maintaining usual physical activity level. It was found out that increased dietary protein maintained nitrogen balance (NB) during exercise-induced energy deficit. However, this finding did not impact resting whole-body protein turnover.

The underlying formulation is based on the two-process model of sleep regulation, which has been extensively used to develop group-average models. However, in the proposed method, the parameters of the two-process model are systematically adjusted to account for an individual's uncertain initial state and unknown trait characteristics, resulting in individual-specific performance prediction models. The method establishes the initial estimates of the model parameters using a set of past performance observations, after which the parameters are adjusted as each new observation becomes available. Moreover, by transforming the nonlinear optimization problem of finding the best estimates of the two-process model parameters into a set of linear optimization problems, the proposed method yields unique parameter estimates. Two distinct data sets are used to evaluate the proposed method. Results of simulated data (with superimposed noise) show that the model parameters asymptotically converge to their true values and the model prediction accuracy improves as the number of performance observations increases and the amount of noise in the data decreases. Results of a laboratory study (82 h of total sleep loss), for three sleep-loss phenotypes, suggest that individualized models are consistently more accurate than group-average models, yielding as much as a threefold reduction in prediction errors. In addition, we show that the two-process model of sleep regulation is capable of representing performance data only when the proposed individualized model is used.

The Army Weight Control Program has continued to undergo evaluation and incorporate improvements based on emerging scientific findings. Recently drafted revisions of Department of Defense-wide procedures address issues of consistency and validity raised by external oversight groups. This study evaluated the impact of three proposed refinements of the Army Weight Control Program. Anthropometric measurements and fitness test performance were obtained in a randomized sample of 1,038 male and 347 nonpregnant female soldiers at three Army posts. Of this sample, 11% of men and 17% of women were overweight and overfat; 6.3 and 9.8%, respectively, were currently on the Army Weight Control Program. Screening weight tables that ensure women are not inappropriately striving to meet weights more stringent than 'healthy' weight (i.e., body mass index < 25 kg/m2) still correctly identified all women for evaluation for the age-specific body fat standards. Body fat estimation using more valid DoD body fat equations that include an abdominal circumference for women reduced the number of female soldiers currently classified as exceeding fat standards, coincidentally resulting in a comparable prevalence of male and female soldiers over the fat standards (12%). A body fat allowance for young soldiers who scored very well on the physical fitness test could have benefited one-fourth of the soldiers exceeding fat standards and acknowledges biological variability in body fat thresholds. Whereas this linkage may motivate fitness habits, it complicates enforcement of reasonably achievable body fat standards. The proposed changes in fat screening and measurement methods are appropriate, but the impact to health and physical readiness of the Force cannot be accurately predicted or measured because of the absence of comprehensive baseline data and tracking mechanisms.

Also, intrinsic factors were studied to establish any associations with a soldier's risk for injury. METHODS: Prestudy height, weight, and body mass index and fitness (3.2-km run, sit-ups, push-ups) data were collected prior to the injury medical records review. Approximately 30% of each battalion was studied. RESULTS: For engineers and artillery, 86.0% and 66.0% incurred at least one injury, respectively. Of total soldiers, 64.0% of engineers and 56.4% of artillerymen had injuries associated with limited duty profiles. Total injuries resulted in 743 days of limited duty time (5.9 days per soldier) in engineers and 1,078 days (5.7 days per soldier) in artillery. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also calculated. The odds of traumatic fractures were (OR = 6.5, 95% CI = 1.8-23.7) 6 times higher in engineers than artillery, but strains/sprains and abrasions/lacerations were (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.5-3.7; OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.2-5.0) two times higher in artillery than engineers. The number of limited duty days associated with knee injuries was significantly higher in engineers than artillery (p < 0.0001), and number of days for low back injuries was significantly higher in the artillerymen (p < 0.0001). Greater body mass was a risk factor for lower back pain and the body mass index was > or = 25 for strains/sprains in both units. CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences in injuries were reported between the two units. It is plausible that the differences were related to the diverse training exposures of the units. However, it is beyond the scope of this study to make conclusions about the causes of the injury differences. The data also indicate that body mass and body mass index were identified as modifiable injury risk factors for both units, which suggests that these injuries are preventable.

This study, which examines a large cohort of U.S. Military Academy cadets over time, tests the influence of cognitive and personality variables on military leadership performance over a 4-year period. Hierarchical multiple regression procedures are used to identify factors at entry into the Academy that successfully predict military development grades as upperclassmen, 3 to 4 years later. A moderately stable cross-validated model reveals cognitive factors (college entrance scores, social judgment skills, and logical reasoning) and personality factors (agreeableness and conscientiousness) that contribute to later leader performance. A main effect for gender on leader performance was also identified, with women performing better than men. The amount of variance in leader performance scores accounted for by variables examined here, although modest, is notable considering the time interval involved. Nevertheless, future studies should explore additional factors, particularly personality ones, that may influence leader performance in developing leaders.

METHODS: Eight women distance runners were studied during a 30-km treadmill run (approximately 70% .VO(2max)) in a warm (30 degrees C T(db)) and a cool (14 degrees C T(db)) environment. Total sweat loss (TSL) was determined from changes in body mass corrected for fluid intake (FI), urine losses (UL), clothing (trapped sweat, TS), CO(2)-O(2) exchange (metabolic mass loss, MML), and respiratory water loss (RWL). TSL was compared with four estimates of sweat losses (often employed in the field) from body mass changes corrected for: a) FI only (F-1); b) FI and TS (F-2); c) FI and UL (F-3); or d) FI, TS, and UL (F-4). Two prediction equations were used also for comparison to TSL values. RESULTS: In the warm environment, F-1, F-3, and F-4 accurately estimated (0.2-6.9%; P > 0.05) TSL, whereas F-2 produced a large error (15.3%; P < 0.05). In the cool environment, all four estimates produced large errors (14-41%; P < 0.05). Both prediction equations markedly underestimated (20-22%) TSL in the warm environment and underestimated (41%) or overestimated (20%) TSL in the cool environment. CONCLUSION: TSL can be accurately estimated from changes in body mass using F-1, F-3, or F-4 methods in hot environments; however, none of the methods accurately estimated actual TSL values in a cool environment. Neither prediction equation provided accurate estimates of TSL in warm or cool conditions for women runners. These results illustrate the difficulty of accurately estimating and predicting sweat losses in the field.

In AY99, cumulative injury incidence (officers with one or more injuries) was 56%. The next year (AY00), there was command emphasis on injury reduction and education of students on injury prevention strategies. Cumulative injury incidence in AY00 was 44%, significantly lower than in AY99 (p = 0.01, risk ratio [AY99/AY99] = 1.3, 95% confidence interval = 1.1-1.5). Among activities that could be linked to injuries, sports were associated with 41% in AY99 and 45% in AY00. Recommendations for ongoing injury reduction include the following: (1) continued command emphasis and instruction on injury reduction techniques; (2) encouraging the use of semirigid ankle braces to reduce ankle sprains; (3) reducing the number of practice and game sessions in sports activities; (4) encouraging overrunning of second and third base in softball; (5) prohibiting contact with the center line below the net in volleyball; and (6) encouraging medical care providers to record the activity associated with each injury in the medical records.

Vision readiness considers optical readiness (appropriate correcting eyewear) and visual readiness (adequate job-required visual acuity). A study of vision readiness among deploying personnel for Operation Restore Hope in Bosnia from December 1995 to September 1997 was conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia. Of the 10,063 personnel screened, 3,554 (35.3%) were not optically ready for deployment and 406 (4.0%) were not visually ready for deployment. Analyses indicated a statistically significant difference between the active duty and reserve components in optical and visual readiness. A more effective vision readiness process should be implemented before deployment to ensure that all personnel are deployment ready. Optometry personnel, commanders, and deploying soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines must take a more active role in ensuring that our forces have the appropriate visual acuity and optical devices to deploy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis of dental fitness classifications (DFCs) and treatment provided for the 48th IN BDE (Mech) upon mobilization for a 6-month deployment to Bosnia. The NG unit mobilized through Fort Stewart, Georgia, from December 2000 through February 2001 en route to a 6-month deployment starting in February 2001. All soldiers received dental examinations and were classified in one of four DFCs. DFC 1 implies that the soldier has no dental treatment needs; DFC 2 indicates that the soldier needs dental treatment, but the condition is not expected to cause an emergency in the next 12 months; DFC 3 indicates that significant oral conditions present are expected to cause an emergency in the next 12 months; DFC 4 indicates that the soldier is in need of a dental examination. Dental treatment was provided for all DFC 3 soldiers. A database was created of DFCs of deploying soldiers upon arrival at the mobilization site and dental procedures performed. RESULTS: This retrospective review identified 1,378 soldiers who processed through the dental station at the mobilization site. Soldiers DFCs were as follows: DFC 1, 7.8%; DFC 2, 50.1%; DFC 3, 35.8%; DFC 4, 6.2%. Direct costs to the Fort Stewart Dental Activity were $95,602. The services provided to treat the DFC 3 patients are valued at $441,471. CONCLUSIONS: The dental readiness of this NG unit was greatly inferior to that of the AC, and there is a significant cost in personnel, dollars, and AC readiness to provide the needed dental treatment before mobilization.

The potential to cause large numbers of serious casualties among deployed and deploying military forces and among civilian populations provides a stark reminder to medical planners of the limits of military and civilian medicine. However, medical countermeasures to these chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been, and continue to be, developed. These CWAs, their countermeasures, and their health care implications are described in the articles of this special issue. These articles suggest likely psychological, physiological, and neurological effects that will be encountered should these agents be employed against U.S. forces on the integrated battlefield or against homeland facilities. Also suggested are countermeasures that U.S. forces and medical teams may use to protect or treat our forces or citizens undergoing such CWA attacks. Knowledge of the behavioral effects of the CWAs and of their medical countermeasures is imperative to ensure that military and civilian medical and mental health organizations can deal with possible incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. This first study, in contrast to the remaining studies in this special issue, focuses on the psychological factors in chemical warfare and terrorism. It also serves as an overview of the remaining articles in this special issue.

The HHA Program characterizes health hazards that soldiers and civilians may encounter as they interact with military weapons and equipment. Thus, it is a resource for medical planners and advisors to use that can identify and estimate potential hazards that soldiers may encounter as they train and conduct missions. The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine administers the program, which is integrated with the Army's Manpower and Personnel Integration program. As the HHA Program has matured, an electronic database has been developed to record and monitor the health hazards associated with military equipment and systems. The current database tracks the results of HHAs and provides reporting designed to assist the HHA Program manager in daily activities.

PM10 levels were divided into quartiles and upper and lower 50th percentiles. When all camps were combined, there was a statistically significant association between the PM10 maximum level and URD rates based on Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests, and the Pearson correlation was statistically significant. Although the relationship was not statistically significant in analyses conducted of the individual camps, the average URD rate increased with each quartile of PM10 maximum exposure. There was no statistically significant association between PM10 average exposure and URD rates, although the average URD rate increased with each quartile of PM10 average exposure. Although these results are not conclusive, there appears to be a relationship between PM10 levels and URD rates in soldiers deployed to Bosnia in 1997 and 1998.

The article traces the history of normative influence and provides an historical overview of the theoretical foundations and research literature on the study of norms. Traditionally, social scientists viewed norms in linear and deterministic ways. Current researchers generally believe that norms are derived from micro and macro sources and that norms emerge on localized levels through culturally determined, informal hierarchical status relations between and among individuals within groups. This article contends that current theories of normative influence do not adequately account for the role of human agency in the creation of norms. Social scientists have long recognized the effects that norms have on individual and group behavior. Nonetheless, with a new or revised theoretical structure, they might also better understand the role of human agency in the development of norms. Then, social workers, theorists, managers, and group leaders will have the means to support and facilitate the creation of new, more effective, productive, and democratic norms.

METHODS: In 1998, 182 men and 168 women were tested before beginning basic training at Fort Jackson, SC. The measurements were 1) skin-fold estimation of percent body fat (%BF); 2) maximum oxygen uptake by treadmill running (VO2max); and 3) upper-body (UB), lower-body (LB), and upright pulling (UP) isometric strength. These data were compared to data from basic trainees at Fort Jackson in 1978 (skin folds, VO2max, UB, and LB) and 1983 (skin folds and UP). RESULTS: Body weight (BW) of 1998 recruits was greater (P < 0.05) than 1978 recruits (men, 12%; women, 6%) and 1983 recruits (men, 8%; women, 7%). %BF of 1998 recruits was greater (P < 0.05) than 1978 recruits (men, 15%; women, 5%) and 1983 recruits (men, 15%; women, 17%). The 1998 men had more fat-free mass (FFM) (P < 0.05) than men in 1978 (8%) or 1983 (5%), whereas 1998 women were only different from those measured in 1978 (4%, P < 0.05). The VO2max of men (50.6 +/- 6.2 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was equivalent to men in 1978, whereas that of women (39.7 +/- 5.2 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was 6% greater (P < 0.05). The 1998 recruits were stronger (P < 0.05) on all measures of muscle strength than recruits measured in 1978 (men, UB = 16%, LB = 12%; women, UB = 18%, LB = 6%) and 1983 (men, UP = 7%; women, UP = 6%). CONCLUSION: The aerobic capacity, muscle strength, and FFM of 1998 recruits is comparable to or greater than that of 1978 and 1983 recruits; however, 1998 recruits tended to have more BW and a greater %BF.

In this study, we used a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the effects of several factors on small-unit cohesion in 2 cohorts of Norwegian Navy officer cadets. Cohesion levels in squad-size units were assessed before and after an intensive, week-long sustained operations exercise. Factors found to contribute to increased cohesion levels included the experience of the stressful exercise itself and previous familiarity with other team members. Positive effects on cohesion were also found for personality hardiness and small-unit leadership, suggesting that how stressful experiences get interpreted at the individual and the group levels also influence unit cohesion. Taken together, these findings suggest that cohesion can be increased in small military units by maximizing member familiarity within the units and by providing challenging tasks within an organizational and leadership climate that emphasizes the overall value and positive meaning of such experiences.

Nevertheless, mental health practitioners diagnose PTSD at higher rates in male veterans. This study examines whether PTSD is underdiagnosed in female veterans. The researcher administered scales measuring combat exposure, PTSD symptomatology, life stress, and current distress to 110 veterans; reviewed medical records to determine participants' diagnoses; and compared variables by gender using logistical regression, chi 2 tests, t tests, and descriptive statistics. The findings are that (a) men experienced higher levels of combat stress; (b) increased exposure to stress was associated with increased PTSD symptomatology; (c) men and women who were exposed to similar levels of stress were equally likely to have PTSD symptoms; and (d) men were more likely to be diagnosed with PTSD. The results suggest that female veterans are underdiagnosed with combat-related PTSD.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 48 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 70 EP - 77 SN - 01636804 AB - Unlike commercial MANET applications, tactical networks are typically hierarchical and involve heterogeneous types of radio communications. Future tactical networks also require cognitive functions across the protocol stack to exploit scarce spectrum and dynamically adapt functions and configuration settings. In this work we highlight the need for novel design tools for cognitive tactical networks. We define a system design model that will provide the foundation for generic network design problem formulations via the use of cognitive techniques covering both dynamic frequency adaptations and machinelearning- related aspects of cognition. We use the system model to identify several potential cognitive design knobs and describe how the different design knobs can potentially be adjusted at different timescales of operation. These knobs are used in formulating a cognitive network design problem. Finally, we discuss how a network designer can potentially benefit from the proposed model result, a cognitive network design toolset we have recently developed.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 48 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 69 SN - 01636804 AB - Tactical edge networks present extremely challenging environments for communications given their wireless ad hoc nature and the inherent node mobility. Military applications such as Blue Force Tracking, inter-team communications, remote unmanned vehicle control, and sensor data mining/fusion thus have to deal with unstable links with limited bandwidth and variable latency. The peculiar characteristics of tactical networks call for peer-to-peer approaches to realize complex, adaptive, and fault-tolerant applications to be deployed in the battlefield. This article reports on our observations from several tactical networking experiments in which we have deployed state-of-the-art applications and services that leverage P2P communications. More specifically, we discuss why P2P approaches are critical for tactical network environments and applications. We then analyze the requirements that should be satisfied by P2P middleware for tactical environments. Finally, we discuss a case study, the Agile Computing Middleware, and present experimental results that demonstrate its effectiveness.

AB - Objectives: The study conducted a longitudinal assessment of insomnia as an antecedent versus consequence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms among combat veterans. Design: Two postdeployment time points were used in combination with structural equation modeling to examine the relative strength of two possible directions of prediction: insomnia as a predictor of psychological symptoms, and psychological symptoms as a predictor of insomnia. Participants were active duty soldiers (N = 659) in a brigade combat team who were assessed 4 months after their return from a 12‐month deployment to Iraq, and then again eight months later. Results: Although both insomnia and psychological symptoms were associated at both time periods and across time periods, insomnia at 4 months postdeployment was a significant predictor of change in depression and PTSD symptoms at 12 months postdeployment, whereas depression and PTSD symptoms at 4 months postdeployment were not significant predictors of change in insomnia at 12 months postdeployment. Conclusions: Results support the role of insomnia in the development of additional psychological problems and highlight the clinical implications for combat veterans, to include the importance of longitudinal assessment and monitoring of sleep disturbances, and the need for early intervention.

AB - Although the medial-temporal lobes (MTL), PFC, and parietal cortex are considered primary nodes in the episodic memory network, there is much debate regarding the contributions of MTL, PFC, and parietal subregions to recollection versus familiarity (dual-process theory) and the feasibility of accounts on the basis of a single memory strength process (strength theory). To investigate these issues, the current fMRI study measured activity during retrieval of memories that differed quantitatively in terms of strength (high vs. low-confidence trials) and qualitatively in terms of recollection versus familiarity (source vs. item memory tasks). Support for each theory varied depending on which node of the episodic memory network was considered. Results from MTL best fit a dual-process account, as a dissociation was found between a right hippocampal region showing high-confidence activity during the source memory task and bilateral rhinal regions showing high-confidence activity during the item memory task. Within PFC, several left-lateralized regions showed greater activity for source than item memory, consistent with recollective orienting, whereas a right-lateralized ventrolateral area showed low-confidence activity in both tasks, consistent with monitoring processes. Parietal findings were generally consistent with strength theory, with dorsal areas showing low-confidence activity and ventral areas showing high-confidence activity in both tasks. This dissociation fits with an attentional account of parietal functions during episodic retrieval. The results suggest that both dual-process and strength theories are partly correct, highlighting the need for an integrated model that links tomore general cognitive theories to account for observed neural activity during episodic memory retrieval.

AB - Decision-making is a social process whereby behaviors are often driven by social influences and social consequences. Research shows that social context also plays an integral role in decision-making processes. In particular, evidence suggests that implicit or non-conscious cognitions are linked to social information in memory and that implicit attitudes can be communicated and assimilated between people on an unconscious level. This study assesses social contagion of implicit cognitions regarding alcohol and marijuana among high school friend networks. Data are from an evidence-based drug education program delivered by either a health educator or by nominated class leaders over a 3-month period. Implicit attitudes were found to be susceptible to social influences, particularly for alcohol. Surprisingly, social contagion was stronger for cognitions than for behaviors. In addition, results support prior research that has found that implicit attitudes are not entirely stable and may be more susceptible to change than are behaviors. Public health initiatives to engender behavioral change could be facilitated by targeting flexible cognitive associations within existing social network structures.

AB - How can cognitive robotics inform developmental psychology researchers and what can developmental psychology tell us about creating robots? More importantly, how can cognitive robotics and developmental psychology nourish each other to become a symbiotic relationship for future research? We address the theoretical underpinnings of developmental change using a cognitive architecture implemented on a robotic system and how our theories of knowledge representation relate to critical periods of infant development. Next, we will show how descriptive theories of cognitive development, specifically Zelazo’s Levels of Consciousness (LOC; Zelazo, 2000, 2004; Zelazo & Jacques, 1996), can be mapped onto a computational cognitive architecture (ACT-R; Anderson & Lebiere, 1998). Following our discussion of Zelazo’s theory, we will apply the ACT-R architecture specifically to the problem of object permanence. Finally, we will address how cognitive robotics can serve as a computational proving ground of developmental psychology for future research.

AB - Recent research suggests that overweight females suffer penalties in the labor and marriage markets, while overweight males do not. This study explores whether similar gender differences in the effect of body weight exist in what Cawley et al. (2006) labeled ‘the adolescent sex market’. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we use fixed effects and instrumental variables identification strategies to estimate the relationship between body weight and sexual activity. We find evidence that increased body weight lowers the probability that female adolescents become sexually active. In contrast, there is little evidence of a causal relationship between body weight and sexual activity for male adolescents.

Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

AB - Equity theory emphasizes making distinctions between individual contributions to teams and then recognizing these with differentiations in rewards. However, social interdependence theory emphasizes maximizing cooperation in teams by compensating members equally. Several researchers have advocated offsetting the limitations of individually based incentives and group-based incentives by mixing the two. However, the authors contend that this puts team members in a social dilemma, leading them to focus on the individually based component. The authors find that in comparison to group-based only incentives, mixed individual/group incentives lead team members to perform faster but less accurately and focus on their own taskwork to the detriment of backing up behavior.

Cognitive Science Society, Inc. 2010. AB - We present a general cognitive architecture that tightly integrates symbolic, spatial, and visual representations. A key means to achieving this integration is allowing cognition to move freely between these modes, using mental imagery. The specific components and their integration are motivated by results from psychology, as well as the need for developing a functional and efficient implementation. We discuss functional benefits that result from the combination of multiple content-based representations and the specialized processing units associated with them. Instantiating this theory, we then discuss the architectural components and processes, and illustrate the resulting functional advantages in two spatially and visually rich domains. The theory is then compared to other prominent approaches in the area.

AB - The concept of networks has become synonymous with terrorism in recent years. Despite the abundance of material engaging the concept of terrorist networks, there is a paucity of research that applies analytic network methods to the empirical study of observed data. This article fills that void by comparing two arguments about terror network structure using a newly released attack network data set. One account suggests that terrorists purposefully structure their networks to maximize operational security (OPSEC) by minimizing connections, while an alternate proposition relies on findings in network sciences showing that many networks have a few well-connected individuals (referred to as scale-free structure). Empirical analysis of six evolving attack networks produces results contradicting both assertions. This article then looks beyond structure to examine whether there are any causal relationships between network characteristics and output, specifically attack casualties. The article concludes by examining possible drivers of network structure and pertinent policy implications.

Copyright Statement: Academy of Management Review AB - We set out to address a gap in the management literature by proposing a framework specifying the component capacities organizational actors require to think and act morally. We examine how moral maturation (i.e., moral identity, complexity, and metacognitive ability) and moral conation (i.e., moral courage, efficacy, and ownership)enhance an individual's moral cognition and propensity to take ethical action. We offer propositions to guide future research and discuss the implications of the proposed model for management theory and practice.

A. Wright (see record [rid]2011-21456-014[/rid]) to the current authors' comments (see record [rid]2011-21456-013[/rid]) on the original article by Quick and Wright (see record [rid]2011-21456-012[/rid]). We advance the discussion that each leader has a moral component that can be defined as character that is distinct from values, personality, and other similar constructs. We seek to clarify what underpins forms of character-based leadership and exemplary leader behaviors. We build out our previous discussion (Hannah & Avolio) that the locus of character is within the leader and is an integral part of the leader's self-system. Further, we extend the domain of character research toward its upper bounds and introduce the notion of ethos as a distinct class of character and relate ethos to extra-ethical virtuous behaviors. Finally, we place character in relationship to collectives and discuss bidirectional influences operating between leader character and the context.

Wright & James Campbell Quick (see record [rid]2011-21456-012[/rid]). Character is an indispensable component of leadership and its development, and thus warrants future research focus. Before a purposeful research stream on character can proceed, however, it is critical that we fully define and conceptualize the character construct (the ontological basis) and then consider how we might best measure this construct and test it across a diverse array of contexts (the epistemological basis). We pursue these ends by first unpacking the definition of leader character and then by posing a series of questions. Following our initial thoughts related to the locus of character and how leader character is transmitted to and received by followers, we proceed by discussing how character relates to or serves as an antecedent to exemplary leadership styles, how character is contextualized, and how character is developed.

AB - Objective: We evaluate and quantify the effects of human, robot, and environmental factors on perceived trust in human-robot interaction (HRI). Background: To date, reviews of trust in HRI have been qualitative or descriptive. Our quantitative review provides a fundamental empirical foundation to advance both theory and practice. Method: Meta-analytic methods were applied to the available literature on trust and HRI. A total of 29 empirical studies were collected, of which 10 met the selection criteria for correlational analysis and 11 for experimental analysis. These studies provided 69 correlational and 47 experimental effect sizes. Results: The overall correlational effect size for trust was r̄ = +0.26, with an experimental effect size of d̄ = +0.71. The effects of human, robot, and environmental characteristics were examined with an especial evaluation of the robot dimensions of performance and attribute-based factors. The robot performance and attributes were the largest contributors to the development of trust in HRI. Environmental factors played only a moderate role. Conclusion: Factors related to the robot itself, specifically, its performance, had the greatest current association with trust, and environmental factors were moderately associated. There was little evidence for effects of human-related factors. Application: The findings provide quantitative estimates of human, robot, and environmental factors influencing HRI trust. Specifically, the current summary provides effect size estimates that are useful in establishing design and training guidelines with reference to robot-related factors of HRI trust. Furthermore, results indicate that improper trust calibration may be mitigated by the manipulation of robot design. However, many future research needs are identified.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis of dental emergencies experienced by soldiers of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment as a part of Stabilization Force VII. Before the deployment, all soldiers received dental examinations and the necessary dental treatment to make them class 1 or 2. A dental emergency was identified from field treatment records when a soldier presented to the clinic for a 'sick call,' emergency, or trauma visit. RESULTS: Retrospective review of the records identified 211 dental emergencies. Class 1 soldiers experienced 75 dental emergencies and class 2 soldiers experienced 136 emergencies. 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment soldiers spent an average of 201.95 days deployed. The overall emergency rate was 156 dental emergencies per 1,000 soldiers per year. Class 1 and 2 rates were 121 and 185 dental emergencies per 1,000 troops per year, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results tend to confirm that dental emergencies continue to be a threat to overall readiness in deployed environments. Military planners need to ensure that the dental component of future forces are sufficient to care for the expected emergencies.

This study constitutes phase II of congressionally sponsored research to establish the degree to which Army nurses are prepared for the expectations of deployment. An expert panel established the validity of the initial readiness questionnaire. Changes were then incorporated into the first Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index (READI) questionnaire. Internal consistency and test-retest techniques assessed multiple reliabilities from pilot administrations. The READI was refined based on the results. Analysis of field administrations of the revised READI to three separate groups of nurses replicated earlier reliability results. Principle component analyses appear to support the hypothesized dimensional structure underlying questionnaire attitude items. The READI produced psychometrically stable ratings and results with great utility for the Army and potential adaptation for other military services.

A prospective, repeated-measures, correlational design was used. Data were collected about (1) providers' self-ratings of practice styles, inclusive of practice model, confidence, autonomy, collaboration, information giving, and job satisfaction, and (2) primary care patients' self-ratings of health status, functional status, information seeking, and satisfaction. When severity and comorbidity were controlled, physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants produced equivalent outcomes; neither practice style nor provider type resulted in differences in health outcomes of primary care patients. Practice style did affect patient satisfaction. Patients were least satisfied with providers who scored high on collaboration and most satisfied with providers who scored low on the practice model. Neither provider type nor interpersonal attributes had an effect on health outcomes; sicker patients got better and healthy patients stayed that way.

Yucatan miniswine were splenectomized and surgically implanted with telemetry devices to transmit electrocardiographic response, arterial pressure, and core temperature. Hypothermia (core temperature = 25.9 +/- 1.3 degrees C) was induced by placing cold-water circulating blankets over the animals. Control animals (N = 7) were rewarmed using warm (37.8 degrees C), humidified oxygen. Experimental animals (N = 6) were rewarmed with oxygenated perfluorocarbon liquid (37.3 degrees C). The time to rewarm was significantly shorter in experimental animals (1.98 +/- 0.5 vs. 8.61 +/- 1.6 hours, p < 0.0001), with almost no afterdrop in the experimental group. Lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase were significantly increased in the control animals compared with the experimental animals. All animals that survived being chilled to 25 degrees C survived rewarming. This method may provide a means of more rapidly rewarming profoundly hypothermic victims while reducing the risks associated with current methods.

These soldiers were recommended for the Physical Training and Rehabilitation Program (PTRP) for recovery and rehabilitation. Forty-two percent of recommended soldiers were discharged from the Army rather than assigned to PTRP. The 1,164 (m = 356, w = 808) soldiers assigned to PTRP sustained 1,673 injuries (m = 444, w = 1229). Eighty-three percent of the injuries in PTRP were in the overuse (44%) and stress fracture (39%) categories. Of the 1,164 soldiers assigned to PTRP, 52% (m = 214, w = 386) returned to training. The average (+/- SD) length of stay in PTRP for soldiers returning to duty was 62 +/- 42 days (m = 57 +/- 39, w = 65 +/- 43). Rehabilitation challenges and significant motivational issues presumably contributed to the 52% return to duty incidence for PTRP soldiers.

Phosgene is both easy and inexpensive to produce and as such is a potential candidate for use as a threat agent. Phosgene attacks the deep lung after inhalation and can severely compromise pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange, rendering the exposed individual incapacitated. If exposure is severe, death can ensure by asphyxiation secondary to pulmonary edema formation. This paper examines the effects on lung tissue in mice over 24 hours after exposure to the irritant gas phosgene. Exposure to phosgene produced respiratory acidosis by decreasing pH, partial pressure of oxygen, O2 saturation, and increasing partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Exposure to phosgene also induced temporal increases in lung tissue gravimetric parameters such as lung tissue wet weight/dry weight ratio, which is a positive indicator of pulmonary edema formation, and dry lung weight, an indicator of lung cellular hyperaggregation. Blood gases and pH tend to normalize within 24 hours, whereas gravimetric parameters remain increased. Temporal changes in these physiological indicators of lung injury may help to explain why past exposures to phosgene required lengthy hospitalization.

Investigators systematically screened trainee medical records for injuries and collected medical recommendations to temporarily remove a trainee from BCT to allow recovery from an injury. The BCT unit provided Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and trainee demographic data. Discharges were identified by reviewing discharge packets and were confirmed through rosters from the BCT units. There were 102 men and 108 women discharged. Person-time injury incidence rates (for time-loss injuries) among discharged and nondischarged men were 1.87 and 0.45 cases/100 person-days, respectively (p < 0.01); the rates for discharged and nondischarged women were 1.95 and 1.01 cases/100 person-days, respectively (p < 0.01). Men had a higher risk of discharge if they had a time-loss injury (p < 0.01), but women did not (p = 0.28). Other discharge risk factors for both men and women included a medical recommendation for removal from training to recover from an injury, lower performance on any of the three APFT events, and lower educational level.

The U.S. Army has deployed field surgical hospitals to the region to provide ongoing medical and surgical care since December 1995. All surgical cases performed at U.S. Army field surgical hospitals in support of the NATO peacekeeping mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina were reviewed to determine the nature of care delivered. Field surgical hospital operative logs served as primary data sources. U.S. Army field surgical hospitals were established in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Hungary. A total of 676 major operations were performed between December 1995 and September 1999. The mean number of operations performed per surgeon per month during this period was 2.13. Surgical procedures performed during this peacekeeping mission reflect procedures commonly performed in garrison. Other lessons include the need to customize field inventories for peacetime care and the fact that the majority of operations were general surgical or orthopedic.

This study examined associations between injuries, direct (physiological) measures of physical fitness, and lifestyle characteristics. METHODS: Subjects were 756 men and 474 women performing the standardized activities involved in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). Before BCT, a subsample of subjects (182 men and 168 women) were administered a series of tests that included a treadmill running test (peak VO2), dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (for body composition), several measures of muscle strength, a hamstring flexibility test, and a vertical jump. A questionnaire addressed smoking habits and prior physical activity. All subjects were administered the Army Physical Fitness test consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, and a 3.2-km run. Gender, age, stature, and body mass were obtained from physical examination records. Injuries incurred during BCT were transcribed from medical records; for each medical visit, the diagnosis, anatomical location, disposition (final outcome of visit), and days of limited duty were recorded. RESULTS: Women had over twice the injury rate of men. For men and women, fewer push-ups, slower 3.2-km run times, lower peak VO2, and cigarette smoking were risk factors for time-loss injury. Among the men only, lower levels of physical activity before BCT and both high and low levels of flexibility were also time-loss injury risk factors. Multivariate analysis revealed that lower peak VO2 and cigarette smoking were independent risk factors for time-loss injury. CONCLUSIONS: Lower aerobic capacity and cigarette smoking were independently associated with a higher likelihood of injury in both men and women during a standardized program of physical training. Further studies are needed to assess associations between injury and body composition and muscular strength.

This surveillance would provide the Department of Defense with an overview of the hospitalization and outpatient morbidity experience of U.S. forces. Standardized collection of medical data from all U.S. camps using 14 diagnostic categories based on International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, codes began in March 1996. Special assessments for hantavirus and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) infection risk were also conducted. The average disease and nonbattle injury rate for U.S. forces was 7.1 per 100 soldiers per week. Injuries accounted for 28% of medical visits, whereas undefined/other visits accounted for 33%. The majority of remaining visits were for respiratory (14%), dermatologic (10%), and gastrointestinal (6%) complaints. There was one confirmed and one suspected case of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome; only 0.1% of individuals (2 of 1,913) tested seroconverted to hantavirus during deployment. No cases of TBE were reported, and the overall low seroconversion rate (0.42%, 4 seroconversions among 959 unimmunized personnel) reflected a very low risk of infection with TBE-related viruses. Operation Joint Endeavor and follow-on Operations Joint Guard and Joint Forge have been extremely healthy deployments.

Personnel were assigned to the FTU based on low performance on push-ups, sit-ups, and/or a 1-mile run (N = 44 men, 95 women) and received an augmented physical fitness program before basic combat training (BCT). They were compared with 712 men and 379 women who took the same test but were not assigned to the FTU and went directly to BCT. FTU and non-FTU personnel trained in the same battalions. Army Physical Fitness Test scores and BCT outcomes (discharged or completed BCT in 8 weeks) were obtained from unit training records. Injuries during BCT were documented from a review of the medical records. On entry to BCT, FTU women had similar 2-mile run times compared with non-FTU women (21.6 vs. 21.5 minutes, respectively; p = 0.86); FTU men were considerably slower on the 2-mile run than non-FTU men (20.3 vs. 17.3 minutes; p < 0.01). FTU women and non-FTU women had similar graduation success (60% vs. 68%, respectively; p = 0.14) and time-loss injury rates (1.3 vs. 1.4 people injured/100 person-days, respectively; p = 0.90). FTU men were less likely to graduate than non-FTU men (55% vs. 82%; p < 0.01) and more likely to suffer a time-loss injury (1.2 vs. 0.7 people injured/100 person-days; p < 0.01). Efforts should be directed toward providing a sufficient training stimulus to improve the aerobic fitness level of men (as well as women) in the FTU.

These alternatives, digital radiography and self-developing film, could significantly decrease the weight and cubic size of a field X-ray set. Five radiographic methods were evaluated: self-developing film, manually processed film, film developed in an automatic processor, digital images on a liquid crystal diode, and digital images on a cathode ray tube screen. The results indicate that the liquid crystal diode system adversely affected the ability of the dentist to detect small interproximal lesions. The other methods were statistically equivalent. A recommendation for an 'image acquisition' system to be included in a field dental treatment facility should be based on clinical factors as well as nonclinical factors such as cost, reliability, and logistical support requirements.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Poultry N2 - Since its discovery in New York City (New York, USA) in 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) has become established over much of the continental United States and has been responsible for >10 000 cases of severe disease and 400 human fatalities, as well as thousands of fatal infections in horses. To develop appropriate surveillance and control strategies, the identification competent vector mosquitoes and how various factors influence their ability to transmit WNV must be determined. Therefore, we evaluated numerous mosquito species for their ability to transmit WNV under laboratory conditions. This report contains data for several mosquito species not reported previously, as well as a summary of transmission data compiled from previously reported studies. Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on chickens infected with WNV isolated from a crow that died during the 1999 outbreak in New York City. These mosquitoes were tested ~2 weeks later to determine infection, dissemination, and transmission rates. All Culex spp. tested were competent vectors in the laboratory and varied from highly efficient vectors (e.g., Culex tarsalis) to moderately efficient ones (e.g., Culex nigripalpus). Nearly all of the Culex spp. tested could serve as efficient enzootic or amplifying vectors for WNV. Several container-breeding Aedes spp. and Ochlerotatus spp. were highly efficient vectors under laboratory conditions, but because of their feeding preferences, would probably not be involved in the maintenance of WNV in nature. However, they would be potential bridge vectors between the avian-Culex cycle and mammalian hosts. In contrast, most of the surface pool-breeding Aedes spp. and Ochlerotatus spp. tested were relatively inefficient vectors under laboratory conditions and would probably not play a significant role in transmitting WNV in nature. In determining the potential for a mosquito species to become involved in transmitting WNV, it is necessary to consider not only its laboratory vector competence but also its abundance, host-feeding preference, involvement with other viruses with similar transmission cycles, and whether WNV has been isolated from this species under natural conditions.

AB - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with cigarette use in young adolescents, specifically answering the question: To what degree do self-esteem, physical activity, SES, age, gender, race, and parental smoking predict the likelihood of smoking in youth?DESIGN: Survey.SETTING: Five schools in three rural counties of North Carolina.POPULATION: The sample consisted of 1,207 youth in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. All three counties are tobacco producers. Age range was 10-15 years, 45.2% were boys and 54.8% were girls. They represented 41% of the available population in these schools.INTERVENTIONS: Portions of the Youth Health Survey (YHS) were used in this study. Smoking was defined by four questions in the Smoking Behaviors Scale of the YHS. Self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale. Level of physical activity was assessed with the Physical Activity Checklist. Socioeconomic status (SES) was determined from questionnaires mailed to the parents.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): There were 899 (74.5%) nonsmokers, 244 (20.2%) experimental smokers, and 64 (5.3%) current smokers. Analyses were done to examine the degree to which self-esteem, SES, age, gender, race, physical activity, and parental smoking predict the likelihood of smoking in youth. Cigarette smoking was significantly associated with ethnicity. The older the child or the higher the grade, the more likely the child was to be a current smoker. There was no significant difference by gender in frequency of cigarette use. No significant differences overall were found when examining physical activity of participants in the three categories of smoking status. Self-esteem was slightly abut significantly higher in nonsmokers than in current smokers. White and Hispanic youth and youth of other races had significantly higher rates of smoking than did Black youth.RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: This study of middle school youth aged 11-14 provides results consistent with national data that indicate cigarette-smoking experimentation begins around age 13. The implications for nursing practice are obvious. Identifying risk factors for smoking initiation and educating young adolescents and preadolescents on the dangers of tobacco use can be an integral part of nursing practice.

This project was undertaken as a first step to developing tailor-made fatigue reduction strategies for shift workers in Army aviation. The results indicated that 97.6% of the surveyed aviation personnel had experience working night shift/reverse cycle at some point in their careers, with 69.4% working the night shift within the past 6 months. Of those who had experience working the night shift, 36.2% reported usually working from early in the afternoon to early in the morning, with 52.2% of personnel returning home by 4:00 a.m.; however, 28.3% arrived home after 8:00 a.m. Almost 62% of the respondents indicated that they did not feel they received adequate daytime sleep some of the time or at all while on reverse cycle/night shift. Research is needed to address the issue of helping aviation personnel sleep during the daylight hours, both for training exercises and for deployment. Once the work/rest schedule for a unit is known, countermeasures such as light therapy or gradual changes in scheduling can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual or unit.

A case-control study was conducted to document the number of converters and to identify risk factors among the soldiers for PPD conversion while in Cuba. Forty-six of the soldiers (3.7% of the unit) met the criteria for PPD conversion as a result of deployment. Forty-four converters and 84 controls completed surveys. Logistic regression showed that statistically significant independent risk factors for PPD conversion included working around coughing migrants (odds ratio [OR] = 6.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.2-20.4) and birthplace outside the United States (OR = 4.89, CI = 1.3-18.5). Contact in the psychiatric hospital (OR = 0.22, CI = 0.05-0.90) and contact with migrants with known tuberculosis (OR = 0.16, CI = 0.05-0.54) appeared to be protective factors, possibly because known tuberculosis patients and hospitalized patients most likely would be on treatment and rendered noninfectious. With the U.S. military's involvement in humanitarian and refugee operations in countries highly endemic for tuberculosis, service members are at increased risk of acquiring tuberculosis infection. Detection of tuberculosis infection and appropriate treatment should become a higher priority within the U.S. military.

This study is a retrospective descriptive study of medical records of these deployed dogs, with the objective to determine whether there were infectious or parasitic diseases with a zoonotic potential in a sentinel population of MWDs that may be of concern to Persian Gulf veterans. Fifty-one percent of visits to veterinary treatment facilities during deployment were for illness or injury. Potential zoonotic conditions accounted for 21% of the total visits, 41% of the 'sick-call' visits, and 63% of presentations for illness to veterinary treatment facilities. This study did not determine whether the diseases treated were transmitted between MWDs and the troops. Although the etiologic agents were not determined in these cases, no evidence was found supporting new or reemerging illnesses in this population of dogs.

Commercial human thrombin (HT) is now available. This study compared the effects of intravenous BT versus HT in swine.Methods: Swine received 30 U/kg BT, 60 U/kg BT, 30 U/kg HT, or 60 U/kg HT intravenously. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and survival were monitored for 30 minutes. Thrombin purities and in vitro activities were examined.Results: MAP nadir was lower (p < 0.05) after BT, 27.7 +/- 3.3% (mean +/- SEM) of pretreatment MAP, compared with 41.1 +/- 3.7% after HT. Five of six animals died after 60 U/kg BT, whereas all others survived (p < 0.05). Histology suggested more severe disseminated intravascular coagulation after BT. HT was purer than BT. In vitro activities were similar.Conclusion: Both BT and HT produced hypotension. HT appeared safer, because of higher purity. Regardless of source and purity, thrombin must be used with caution.

AB - Purpose: Establishing well-understood daily patient care goals should improve healthcare team (HCT) communication, reduce errors, and improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that implementation of a daily goals 'Door Communication Card' (DCC) would improve goal alignment between members of the HCT. Methods: As part of a process improvement project, HCT members listed their top care goals for a patient on a given day. After initial data collection, DCCs were placed on patients' doors. Anyone was allowed to write on the card, but the 'official' daily goals were recorded during multidisciplinary rounds. One month after introduction of the DCC, HCT members were re-queried about their patients' care goals. Three reviewers independently compared goals and assessed their alignment before and after implementation of the DCC. We collected goals over a 4-month period and selected 5 random days before and after intervention for assessment. Results: The goal alignment among HCT members was low before and did not improve after intervention (Attending-to-Nurse 55% vs 38%, P = .02; Attending-to-Resident 60% vs 54%, P = .43; Attending-to-Primary 35% vs 28%, P = .45; Nurse-to-Attending 52% vs 36%, P = .03; Nurse-to- Resident 55% vs 38%, P = .04; Nurse-to-Primary 37% vs 27%, P = .36; Resident-to-Attending 59% vs 54%, P = .4; Resident-to-Nurse 56% vs 40%, P = .05; Resident-to-Primary 36% vs 24%, P = .16; Primary-to-Attending 34% vs 42%, P = .44; Primary-to-Nurse 42% vs 35%, P = .6; Primary-to- Resident 32% vs 34%, P = .8). Conclusions: Alignment of daily patient care goals among HCT members is low overall and did not improve after implementing a DCC available to all team members. Further study to elucidate the mechanism by which daily goals forms improve patient care is required.

The objective of this process-improvement project was to compare the accuracy of a computer-based burn mapping program, WoundFlow (WF), with the widely used hand-mapped Lund-Browder (LB) diagram. Manikins with various burn representations (from 1% to more than 60% TBSA) were used for comparison of the WF system and LB diagrams. Burns were depicted on the manikins using red vinyl adhesive. Healthcare providers responsible for mapping of burn patients were asked to perform burn mapping of the manikins. Providers were randomized to either an LB or a WF group. Differences in the total map area between groups were analyzed. Also, direct measurements of the burn representations were taken and compared with LB and WF results. The results of 100 samples, compared using Bland-Altman analysis, showed no difference between the two methods. WF was as accurate as LB mapping for all burn surface areas. WF may be additionally beneficial in that it can track daily progress until complete wound closure, and can automatically calculate burn size, thus decreasing the chances of mathematical errors.

METHODS: Marines received a podiatry screening and completed a questionnaire on race, education, tobacco use, height, weight, and fitness (4.8-km run, sit-ups, pull-ups). RESULTS: Forty-five Marines (12.6%) reported at least one injury each, 68.9% of which were traumatic injuries. Total injuries resulted in 114 days of limited duty time. A final foot examination (N = 141) revealed 118 injuries (82.2% blisters and abrasions, 11.9% frostnip). White ethnicity was a risk factor for overall injuries, and forefoot varus alignment was a risk factor for traumatic injuries. Lower education and rank and smokeless tobacco use were associated with foot injuries. The Marine ski-march leather boot and smoking were related to foot cold injuries. CONCLUSIONS: Military winter training is associated with injuries and lost training time. Risk factors were identified, suggesting that these injuries may be preventable.

METHODS: Twelve military mountaineers took a daily Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire, monitored fingertip oxygen saturations, and recorded core temperatures while climbing a 4,949-m peak. Illnesses identified by the system were compared with those identified by spontaneous reports. RESULTS: The system correctly identified one case of high-altitude pulmonary edema and two illnesses that were not reported to the physician (one case of acute mountain sickness and one of self-limited symptomatic desaturation). However, it did not identify two illnesses that were severe enough to preclude further climbing (one case of sinus headache and one of generalized fatigue). CONCLUSIONS: Our monitoring system may complement, but cannot replace, on-site medical personnel during mountaineering expeditions.

We obtained 1990 to 1997 hospitalization data from the U.S. Army Medical Command and calculated rates using data from the Army Medical Surveillance Activity and the U.S. Army Training Command. There was a decline in the number and incidence of varicella hospitalizations for U.S. Army active duty soldiers from 1990 to 1997. Varicella incidence rates for active duty soldiers are significantly higher for females, blacks, those younger than 20 years, and those whose home of record were tropical island regions. Army initial entry training hospitalizations constitute 11.8% of active duty Army hospitalizations and have also declined. Varicella continues to affect the training and health of the U.S. Army; however, the impact has diminished over the years. A feasible approach to limit varicella in the U.S. Army is to target trainees for screening or vaccination. Refinement of this strategy should be determined from a follow-up cost-effectiveness analysis.

Because data on military officer populations are sparse, this study investigated injury incidence, injury rates, and modified duty days that occurred during Marine Corps officer basic training (6 weeks in length). Subjects were 480 officer candidates (including 30 females) undergoing training at Quantico, Virginia. The cumulative injury incidence (one or more injuries) was 60.8%, and the injury rate was 3.9 per 1,000 candidate hours of training. There were 378 primary injury encounters (first visit for a specific injury). The highest injury rates occurred during weeks 2, 3, and 6. Male injury categories with the highest rates (injuries per 100 trainees per 1,000 training hours) were blisters (0.68), sprains (0.58), and bone stress reactions (0.40). The highest injury rates in females were for bone stress reactions (1.35). On average, a total of 3.1% of training days constituted modified duty for each candidate. This study provides basic descriptive injury data for this unique military population that can assist in future planning for injury management and preventive interventional strategies.

The authors sought to determine the incidence of digital radiography barrier-sheath leakage, with and without additional latex finger cot protection, as measured by a water pressure test. METHODS: Four hundred plastic barrier sheaths were randomly assigned to four groups based on intraoral radiograph positioning device use and supplemental barrier protection with a latex finger cot. Sheaths were carefully placed to cover DDR sensors for a single intraoral use, gently removed from the sensors and tested for leakage through a water pressure technique. RESULTS: Perforations occurred in 44 to 51 percent of plastic sheaths after a single radiographic exposure. However, only up to 6 percent of the plastic sheaths that were covered by a latex finger cot leaked during the water pressure test. CONCLUSIONS: At least 44 percent of the plastic barrier sheaths leaked after a single intraoral radiographic exposure. Use of a latex finger cot over the plastic sheath significantly reduced leakage to no more than 6 percent. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Latex finger cots used in conjunction with the standard plastic sheaths that cover DDR sensors may more effectively prevent cross-contamination than do plastic sheaths alone. Dentists who use DDR sensors during highly invasive dental procedures such as dental implant surgery are encouraged to consider supplemental barrier protection for these delicate, expensive and nonsterilizable sensors to prevent patient cross-contamination.

There are indications that these injuries are increasing at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Between May 1, 1994, and April 30, 1996, surveillance was conducted for parachute-related injuries and altitude injuries at Fort Bragg. The incidence of all jump-related injuries was 8.1/1,000 aircraft exits. Significant risk factors for injury included being 30 years of age or older (p < 0.001) and being female (p = 0.003). The overall incidence of altitude injuries was noted to be 0.46/1,000 aircraft exits. Risk factors for altitude injury included being 40 years of age or older (p = 0.005) and in the rank of E-1 to E-3 (p = 0.0001). Fifty-four percent of injuries occurred during exiting before complete parachute deployment, and 46% occurred during the opening shock of the parachute. Mechanisms of injury included static line entanglement (33%), riser/suspension-line entanglement (46%), aircraft strikes (21%), unsecured equipment strikes (1%), and opening shock deceleration (1%). The majority of severe altitude injuries are caused by riser/suspension-line entanglement (63%) and involve the knee joint (37%). Although the incidence of altitude injury is quite small, the potential risk for career-threatening and/or life-threatening injury is great. This risk can be reduced by appropriate training and attention to detail.

A review of the literature indicates that 20 to 25% of all soldiers will report on dental sick call during a 1-year deployment, and approximately half will require endodontic intervention. This could cost a division more than 18,000 man-days of combat effectiveness in a theater of battle, an unacceptable loss. Approximately three-fourths of these sick call visits could be prevented if selected conditions were identified and treated before deployment. Endodontic conditions, which result in the majority of dental sick call complaints, should be given priority for treatment in garrison, and the identified soldier should be placed in dental fitness class 3 until the tooth is definitively treated.

Regression results suggest that access, communication, outcomes, and quality predict 42% of the variation in patients' satisfaction scores. Additionally, an analysis of variance suggests that patient satisfaction evaluations are significantly different along sociodemographic characteristics excepting marital status and duty location. Finally, patients' sociodemographic characteristics, with the exceptions of gender and marital status, moderate patients' satisfaction. These findings suggest that patients' satisfaction differs significantly along age, rank, gender, education, race, health status, and utilization individually, but this difference predicts only 5% of patients' satisfaction ratings. This study provides areas of consideration for improving active Army patients' satisfaction in military facilities and suggests theoretically and empirically supported ways to prioritize scarce resources and optimize efforts when faced with constraints.

This study compared West Point cadets (N = 103), Norwegian Naval Academy cadets (N = 141), and U.S. civilians aged 18 to 21 (N = 838) with respect to 24 character strengths. Results generally showed that the absolute scores of West Point cadets were higher than either of the other 2 groups. However, when the rank orders of character strengths were compared, the 2 military samples were more highly correlated with each other than either was with the U.S. civilian sample. The greatest strengths evident among the military samples were honesty, hope, bravery, industry, and teamwork. Implications for multiforce military operations are discussed.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Marburg virus (MARV) has been associated with sporadic episodes of hemorrhagic fever, including a recent highly publicized outbreak in Angola that produced severe disease and significant mortality in infected patients. MARV is also considered to have potential as a biological weapon. Recently, we reported the development of a promising attenuated, replication-competent vaccine against MARV based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing the glycoprotein of the Musoke strain of MARV (VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke). We used this vaccine to demonstrate complete protection of cynomolgus monkeys against a homologous MARV challenge. While these results are highly encouraging, an effective vaccine would need to confer protection against all relevant strains of MARV. Here, we evaluated the protective efficacy of the VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke vaccine against two heterologous MARV strains, the seemingly more pathogenic Angola strain and the more distantly related Ravn strain. In this study, seven cynomolgus monkeys were vaccinated with the VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke vector. Three of these animals were challenged with the Angola strain, three with the Ravn strain, and a single animal with the Musoke strain of MARV. Two animals served as controls and were each injected with a nonspecific VSV vector; these controls were challenged with the Angola and Ravn strains, respectively. Both controls succumbed to challenge by day 8. However, none of the specifically vaccinated animals showed any evidence of illness either from the vaccination or from the MARV challenges and all of these animals survived. These data suggest that the VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke vaccine should be sufficient to protect against all known MARV strains.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Objective - The main objective of this study was to compare the performance of nested PCR with expert microscopy as a means of detecting Plasmodium parasites during active malaria surveillance in western Thailand. Methods - The study was performed from May 2000 to April 2002 in the village of Kong Mong Tha, located in western Thailand. Plasmodium vivax (PV) and Plasmodium falciparum (PF) are the predominant parasite species in this village, followed by Plasmodium malariae (PM) and Plasmodium ovale (PO). Each month, fingerprick blood samples were taken from each participating individual and used to prepare thick and thin blood films and for PCR analysis. Results - PCR was sensitive (96%) and specific (98%) for malaria at parasite densities ≥500/µl; however, only 18% (47/269) of P. falciparum- and 5% (20/390) of P. vivax-positive films had parasite densities this high. Performance of PCR decreased markedly at parasite densities <500/µl, with sensitivity of only 20% for P. falciparum and 24% for P. vivax at densities <100 parasites/µl. Conclusion - Although PCR performance appeared poor when compared to microscopy, data indicated that the discrepancy between the two methods resulted from poor performance of microscopy at low parasite densities rather than poor performance of PCR. These data are not unusual when the diagnostic method being evaluated is more sensitive than the reference method. PCR appears to be a useful method for detecting Plasmodium parasites during active malaria surveillance in Thailand.

Soldiers from a brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division were involved in a 5-week training exercise at the National Training Center. Health care visits were systematically recorded by the unit medics. Of 4,101 men and 413 women who participated in the exercise, 504 soldiers (409 men and 95 women) sought medical care at the main support medical clinic or Weed Army Community Hospital. The rates of injury and illness visits were 1.2% and 0.6% per week for men and 2.3% and 2.2% per week for women, respectively. Women had twice the risk of an injury and 3.5 times the risk of an illness, compared with men. Compared with other branches, combat service support soldiers had higher rates of injuries and illnesses. Enlisted soldiers of lower rank (E1-E4) experienced higher injury and illness rates than did noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers. Musculoskeletal injuries, environmental conditions, and dermatological conditions accounted for most visits.

This is adjacent to Fort Totten, a formerly used defense site. Some of the mercury levels in these sediments exceeded New York State screening values. A human health risk assessment was accomplished, based on conservative assumptions. The risk assessment examined the potential for adverse health effects from direct contact with and ingestion of contaminated sediments/surface water and ingestion of biota. Potential exposures to recreational receptors including adults and children were examined. The highest numerical risk results from finfish ingestion and then second for exposure from dermal contact to the sediments. The only exposure pathway showing a hazard quotient greater than unity is finfish ingestion for the child. In summary, overall risk to this mercury exposure is minimal in spite of the state screening value being exceeded.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Marburg virus (MARV) and Ebola virus (EBOV), members of the viral family Filoviridae, cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates. High viral burden is coincident with inadequate adaptive immune responses and robust inflammatory responses, and virus-mediated dysregulation of early host defenses has been proposed. Recently, a novel class of innate receptors called the triggering receptors expressed in myeloid cells (TREM) has been discovered and shown to play an important role in innate inflammatory responses and sepsis. Here, we report that MARV and EBOV activate TREM-1 on human neutrophils, resulting in DAP12 phosphorylation, TREM-1 shedding, mobilization of intracellular calcium, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, and phenotypic changes. A peptide specific to TREM-1 diminished the release of tumour necrosis factor alpha by filovirus-activated human neutrophils in vitro, and a soluble recombinant TREM-1 competitively inhibited the loss of cell surface TREM-1 that otherwise occurred on neutrophils exposed to filoviruses. These data imply direct activation of TREM-1 by filoviruses and also indicate that neutrophils may play a prominent role in the immune and inflammatory responses to filovirus infections.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Prevention activities are designed and resourced based on perceptions of the relative population health impacts of various conditions. The nature and variability of rankings of "conditions" were examined based on how they are defined and how their population health impacts are measured. The first listed diagnosis from all hospitalizations and ambulatory visits of service members in the USA, during 2002, was used to rank conditions (as defined by 2 standard classification systems) using 5 different measures of population health impacts. Less than 10% of all conditions accounted for more than one-half of the total population health impact, regardless of how conditions were defined or impacts were measured. However, specific conditions with the largest impacts varied depending on the classification system and impact measure. Four groups of related conditions, namely acute musculoskeletal injuries, pregnancy-related conditions, respiratory infections and mental disorders (including substance abuse), accounted for disproportionately large impacts regardless of the measure. The identification of conditions with the largest population health impacts depends on the nature and degree of aggregation in defining conditions and the measure of impact. The findings are relevant to prevention planning and resourcing.

Although respiratory disease control is improved, epidemics continue to occur, and respiratory disease in military trainees continues to exceed that in civilian adults. Overall, the Department of Defense utilization of the trivalent inactivated vaccine was much lower than anticipated during the 2004-05 season. The slow start to the 2004-05 influenza season resulted in a low demand for influenza immunization by the medically high-risk beneficiary population of the Department of Defense. The surveillance for influenza during the 2004-05 season in the US Army Europe reached unprecedented heights, testing and confirming more cases than in any previous year.

Volunteers were recruited from three groups: immediately following initial entry to the Army (IET), immediately following basic combat training (AIT), or following at least six months of permanent assignment (PP). Iron deficiency was determined using a three variable model, including cut-off values for serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and red cell distribution width (RDW). Iron deficiency anemia was categorized by iron deficiency and a hemoglobin (Hgb) value of <12 g/dL. Results: The prevalence of iron deficiency was greater in women in the AIT group (32.8%) than in the IET and PP groups (13.4 and 9.6%, respectively). The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was greater in the AIT group (20.9%) than in the IET and PP groups (5.8 and 4.8%, respectively). Furthermore, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was greater in Hispanic (21.9%) and African-American military personnel (22.9%) than in Caucasian military personnel (10.5%). Conclusions: These data indicate that female military personnel experience diminished iron status following training, and that iron nutriture is an important issue facing females in the military.

Both Culex pipiens pallens Coquillett and Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles were highly susceptible to infection with WNV, with infection rates >65% when allowed to feed on chickens with viremias of ~107 plaque-forming units (PFU) of virus/ml blood. In contrast, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus were significantly more susceptible to JEV or GETV (infection rate 100%) than were the Cx. p. pallens (infection rate 3% for JEV and 0% for GETV) captured in the same area when allowed to feed on chickens with viremias of ~105 PFU of virus/ml blood. The detection of JEV in field-collected Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in Gyeonggi Province in 2000 and the demonstrated ability of this species to transmit this virus support the importance of the continued vaccination of Koreans against JEV and indicate a risk of infection for nonvaccinated individuals.

Language: English. Number of References: 27 ref. N2 - Alveolar macrophages (AM) are very important for pulmonary innate immune responses against invading inhaled pathogens because they directly kill the organisms and initiate a cascade of innate and adaptive immune responses. Although several factors contribute to inhalational anthrax, we hypothesized that unimpeded infection of Bacillus anthracis is directly linked to disabling the innate immune functions contributed by AM. Here, we investigated the effects of lethal toxin (LT), one of the binary complex virulence factors produced by B. anthracis, on freshly isolated nonhuman primate AM. Exposure of AM to doses of LT that killed susceptible macrophages had no effect on the viability of AM, despite complete MEK1 cleavage. Intoxicated AM remained fully capable of B. anthracis spore phagocytosis. However, pretreatment of AM with LT resulted in a significant decrease in the clearance of both the Sterne strain and the fully virulent Ames strain of B. anthracis, which may have been a result of impaired AM secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Our data imply that cytolysis does not correlate with MEK1 cleavage, and this is the first report of LT-mediated impairment of nonhuman primate AM bactericidal activity against B. anthracis.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - We evaluated mosquitoes collected in the Amazon Basin, near Iquitos, Peru, for their susceptibility to a subtype IIIC strain of the Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis complex. This virus had been previously isolated from a pool of mixed Culex vomerifer and Cx. gnomatos captured near Iquitos, Peru, in 1997. After feeding on hamsters with viremias of about 108 plaque-forming units of virus per ml, Cx. gnomatos was the most efficient vector. Other species, such as Ochlerotatus fulvus and Psorophora cingulata, although highly susceptible to infection, were not efficient laboratory vectors of this virus due to a significant salivary gland barrier. The Cx. (Culex) species, consisting mostly of Cx. (Cux.) coronator, were nearly refractory to subtype IIIC virus and exhibited both midgut infection as well as salivary gland barriers. Additional studies on biting behavior, mosquito population densities, and vertebrate reservoir hosts of subtype IIIC virus are needed to determine the role that these species play in the maintenance and spread of this virus in the Amazon Basin region.

N2 - This project assessed the effects of repeated low-dose exposure of guinea pigs to the organophosphorus nerve agent sarin. Animals were injected once a day, 5 days per week (Monday-Friday), for 2 weeks with fractions (0.3×, 0.4×, 0.5×, or 0.6×) of the established LD50 dose of sarin (42 µg/kg, s.c.). The animals were assessed for changes in body weight, red blood cell (RBC) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels, neurobehavioral reactions to a functional observational battery (FOB), cortical electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectrum, and intrinsic acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter (NT) regulation over the 2 weeks of sarin exposure and for up to 12 days postinjection. No guinea pig receiving 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 × LD50 of sarin showed signs of cortical EEG seizures despite decreases in RBC AChE levels to as low as 10% of baseline, while seizures were evident in animals receiving 0.6 × LD50 of sarin as early as the second day; subsequent injections led to incapacitation and death. Animals receiving 0.5 × LD50 sarin showed obvious signs of cholinergic toxicity; overall, 2 of 13 animals receiving 0.5 × LD50 sarin died before all 10 injections were given, and there was a significant increase in the angle of gait in the animals that lived. By the 10th day of injection, the animals receiving saline were significantly easier to remove from their cages and handle and significantly less responsive to an approaching pencil and touch on the rump in comparison with the first day of testing. In contrast, the animals receiving 0.4 × LD50 sarin failed to show any significant reductions in their responses to an approaching pencil and a touch on the rump as compared with the first day. The 0.5 × LD50 sarin animals also failed to show any significant changes to the approach and touch responses and did not adjust to handling or removal from the cage from the first day of injections to the last day of handling. Thus, the guinea pigs receiving the 0.4 and 0.5 × LD50 doses of sarin failed to habituate to some aspects of neurobehavioral testing. Spectral analysis of EEG data suggested that repeated sarin exposure may disrupt normal sleeping patterns (i.e., lower frequency bandwidths). While these EEG changes returned to relative normalcy 6 days after the last injection in animals receiving 0.4 × LD50 sarin, these changes were still observed in the animals that received 0.5 × LD50 sarin. Ten to twelve days after the last sarin injection (in 0.4 × LD50 group only), neurochemical data showed that striatal choline levels were reduced in comparison to the saline group. At this time, atropine sulfate (5 mg/kg, i.p.) challenge resulted in a transient elevation in striatal ACh levels in animals exposed to repeated 0.4 × LD50 sarin as well as in control animals. No evidence of brain or heart pathology was found in any guinea pig that survived all 10 sarin injections.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - We conducted a phase 1 trial of candidate malaria vaccine RTS,S/AS02A in western Kenya to determine its safety and immunogenicity in healthy adults in an area hyperendemic for malaria. Twenty adults were enrolled and received RTS,S/AS02A (50 µg of RTS,S in 0.5 mL of AS02A) by intramuscular injection on a 0-, 28-, and 178-day schedule. All 60 scheduled immunizations were given, and 18 of 20 volunteers completed the last study visit on day 210. The vaccine was safe and well-tolerated. There were no vaccine-related severe adverse events. The most common solicited adverse events associated with immunization were injection site pain and headache. The geometric mean concentration of antibodies to circumsporozoite protein was 1.9 µg/ml at baseline and it increased 2-4 weeks after each dose to 16, 17.8, and 36.6 µg/ml, respectively. These safety and immunogenicity data from adults in hyperendemic Kenya are comparable to data reported earlier from two trials in west African adults in hypo-endemic and meso-endemic areas of The Gambia. We conclude that in this small study, RTS,S/AS02A is safe and similarly immunogenic in malaria-exposed African adults of different ethnicity in different transmission settings.

Number of References: 21 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Dairy Science N2 - Sensitive and specific electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays were used to detect Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins serotypes A, B, E, and F in undiluted human serum, undiluted human urine, assay buffer, and selected food matrices (whole milk, apple juice, ground beef, pastry, and raw eggs). These novel assays used paramagnetic bead-based electrochemiluminescent technology in which biotinylated serotype-specific antibodies were bound to streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads. The beads acted as the solid support and captured analyte from solution. Electrochemiluminescent detection relied on the use of ruthenium chelate-labeled anti-serotype antibodies and analysis with a BioVeris M-Series M1R analyzer. The sensitivities of the assays in clinically relevant matrices were 50 pg/ml for serotypes A and E, 100 pg/ml for serotype B, and 400 pg/ml for serotype F. The detection limits in selected food matrices ranged from 50 pg/ml for serotype A to 50 to 100 pg/ml for serotypes B, E, and F. The antibodies used for capture and detection exhibited no cross-reactivity when tested with the other serotypes. When purified native toxin was compared with toxins complexed to neurotoxin-associated proteins, no significant differences in assay response were noted for serotypes A, B, and F. Interestingly, the native form of serotype E exhibited reduced signal and limit of detection compared with the complexed form of the protein. We suspect that this difference may be due to trypsin activation of this particular serotype. The assays described in this article demonstrate limits of detection similar in range to the gold standard mouse bioassay, but with greatly reduced time to data. These rapid sensitive assays may have potential use in clinical settings, research studies, and screening of food products for botulinum toxins.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Azithromycin, the most potent antimalarial macrolide antibiotic, is synergistic with quinine against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. We assessed combinations of azithromycin and quinine against uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria at the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences-Kwai River Clinical Center along the Thailand-Myanmar border, an area with a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant P. falciparum. Four regimens were assessed in an open-label dose-ranging design involving 61 volunteers. All received oral quinine (Q; 30 mg/kg/day divided every 8 hours for 3 days) with oral azithromycin (Az; 500 mg twice a day for 3 days, 500 mg twice a day for 5 days, or 500 mg three times a day for 3 days). A comparator group received quinine and doxycycline (Dx; 100 mg twice a day for 7 days). Study observation was 28 days per protocol. Sixty volunteers completed the study. Seven days of QDx cured 100% of the volunteers. One failure occurred in the lowest QAz regimen (on day 28) and none occurred in either of the two higher Az regimens. Cinchonism occurred in nearly all subjects. Overall, the azithromycin regimens were well tolerated, and no volunteers discontinued therapy. Three- and five-day azithromycin-quinine combination therapy appears safe, well tolerated, and effective in curing drug-resistant P. falciparum malaria. Further evaluation, especially in pediatric and obstetric populations, is warranted.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Phytic acid, a major phosphorous storage compound found in foodstuffs, is known to form insoluble complexes with nutritionally essential minerals, including zinc (Zn). Phytases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of these minerals from phytic acid, improving their bioavailability. The objective of the present study was to determine the ability of dietary phytase to affect body weight, body composition, and bone strength in growing rats fed a high phytic acid, low Zn diet. Rats (n=20) were fed either a control (AIN-93) or phytase supplemented (Natuphos, BASF, 1,500 phytase units (FTU)/kg) diet for a period of 8 weeks. Phytase supplementation resulted in increased (P<.05) bone and plasma Zn, but no change in plasma inorganic phosphorous or bone levels of Ca, Fe, or Mg. The addition of phytase to the diets resulted in a 22.4% increase (P<.05) in body weight at the end of the study as compared with rats fed a control diet. Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed that phytase supplementation resulted in increase lean body mass (LBM, P<.001) and increased bone mineral content (BMC, P<.001) as compared with feeding the control diet. Bone studies indicated that femurs and tibias from phytase supplemented rats had greater mass (P<.05) and were stronger (P<.05) than rats fed the control diet. This data suggest that the addition of phytase to low Zn diets results in improved Zn status, which may be responsible for beneficial effects on growth, body composition, and bone strength.

Note: Special Section: Finding achievable risk reduction solutions for contaminated sediments. Language: English. Number of References: 16 ref. Subject Subsets: World Agriculture, Economics & Rural Sociology N2 - Confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells are increasingly becoming the selected option for the management of unacceptably contaminated sediments. CAD cells are selected as the preferred alternative because this approach provides an acceptable compromise when cost, logistics, regulatory acceptance, environmental risk, and perception of various alternatives are considered. This preference for CAD cells often occurs even when other alternatives with similar risk reduction and less cost, such as an open water capping alternative, are considered as options. This paradox is largely a result of subjective factors that affect regulatory acceptance such as public perceptions.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 68 ref. N2 - The development of new approaches to combat anthrax requires that the pathogenesis and host response to B. anthracis spores be better understood. We investigated the roles that macrophages and neutrophils play in the progression of infection by B. anthracis in a mouse model. Mice were treated with a macrophage depletion agent (liposome-encapsulated clodronate) or with a neutrophil depletion agent (cyclophosphamide or the rat anti-mouse granulocyte monoclonal antibody RB6-8C5), and the animals were then infected intraperitoneally or by aerosol challenge with fully virulent, ungerminated B. anthracis strain Ames spores. The macrophage-depleted mice were significantly more susceptible to the ensuing infection than the saline-pretreated mice, whereas the differences observed between the neutropenic mice and the saline-pretreated controls were generally not significant. Augmenting peritoneal neutrophil populations before spore challenge did not increase resistance of the mice to infection. In addition, the bacterial load in macrophage-depleted mice was significantly greater and appeared significantly sooner than that observed with the saline-pretreated mice. However, the bacterial load in the neutropenic mice was comparable to that of the saline-pretreated mice. These data suggest that, in our model, neutrophils play a relatively minor role in the early host response to spores, whereas macrophages play a more dominant role in early host defence against infection by B. anthracis spores.

Communication within it is fragmented, inconsistent, and prone to failure. Daily checklists used during intensive care unit (ICU) rounds have been shown to improve compliance with evidence-based practices, enhance communication, promote consistency of care, and improve outcomes. Checklists are criticized because it is difficult to establish a causal link between them and their effect on outcomes. We investigated how checklists used during ICU rounds affect communication. METHODS: We conducted this project in two military ICUs (burn and surgical/trauma). Checklists contained up to 21 questions grouped according to patient population. We recorded which checklist items were discussed during rounds before and after implementation of a 'must address' checklist and compared the frequency of discussing items before checklist prompting. RESULTS: Patient discussions addressed more checklist items before prompting at the end of the 2-week evaluation compared with the 2-week preimplementation period (surgical trauma ICU, 36% vs. 77%, p < 0.0001; burn ICU, 47% vs. 72 %, p < 0.001). Most items were addressed more frequently in both ICUs after implementation. Key items such as central line removal, reduction of laboratory testing, medication reconciliation, medication interactions, bowel movements, sedation holidays, breathing trials, and lung protective ventilation showed significant improvements. CONCLUSION: Checklists modify communication patterns. Improved communication facilitated by checklists may be one mechanism behind their effectiveness. Checklists are powerful tools that can rapidly alter patient care delivery. Implementing checklists could facilitate the rapid dissemination of clinical practice changes, improve communication between echelons of care and between individuals involved in patient care, and reduce missed information.

Augmentin-greducing was due to alterations in cortical rather than subcortical responsiveness, and was duplicated by increasing cortical arousal by means of reticular stimulation while the animal was exposed to visual stimuli of constant intensity. Brainstem activation of cortical inhibition may underlie the behavioral results as well as the results obtained with the evoked potentials.

When the water taste is suppressed by the addition of small amounts of sodium chloride, cats take sucrose avidly.

In an attempt to isolate lamellar bodies, sheets of intact stratum corneum and stratum granulosum were obtained from neonatal mice with highly purified staphylococcal epidermolytic toxin, disrupted, and passed through a series offilters. The final filtrate was rich in intact lamellar bodies and contained variable amounts of ribosomes and other vesicular structures. Availability of a highly purified lamellar body preparation from postnatal epidermis should help to clarify the role of this organelle in epidermal function. The technique of selective, sequential filtration represents a new approach to cell fractionation that may have wide applications in cell biology and biochemistry.

Infection rates and transmission rates were determined after the midge had engorged on patients with viremia. The threshold titer necessary to enable infection or transmission by the midges was approximately 5.3 log10 of the median lethal dose of the virus in suckling mice per milliliter of blood. Transmission was achieved 6 to 12 days after C. paraensis had taken the infective blood meal. This represents conclusive evidence of transmission of an arbovirus of public health importance to man by a member of the Ceratopogonidae family.

There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

In order to analyze these systems more rigorously, this paper derives relationships and metrics for the mass savings of a multifunctional design relative to a design consisting of conventional structures and electrochemical devices. These metrics are then evaluated using structural supercapacitors composed of carbon fiber electrodes and conductive solid polymer electrolytes, as well as multifunctional supercapacitors from literature. The analysis reveals that state-of-the-art multifunctional supercapacitors are still far from reaching the levels of performance needed to supplant conventional structures and save system mass. The metrics provide further insight regarding multifunctional value of the material components as well as influence of various functionalities on system performance.

METHODS: The TBW of nine men was measured using BIS (TBWBIS) when euhydrated (EU) and during HH and IH. These measurements were compared with TBW measurements obtained using isotope dilution (deuterium oxide; TBWD20) during EU, and the estimated TBWD20 during hypohydration calculated from body weight change. RESULTS: Body weight loss was similar (P > 0.05) for HH (3.4 +/- 0.7 kg) and IH (2.9 +/- 0.7 kg). Plasma osmolality was higher (P < 0.05) on HH (292 +/- 4 mOsmol x kg(-1)) than EU (280 +/- 4 mOsmol x kg(-1)) and IH (284 +/- 3 mOsmol x kg(-1)), and higher (P < 0.05) during IH than EU. The measurements reflected a similar decrease (P < 0.05) in TBW during HH (TBWD20: 45.4 +/- 7.3 L, TBWBIS: 42.2 +/- 5.1 L) and IH (TBWD20: 45.8 +/- 7.5 L, TBWBIS: 42.0 +/- 4.9 L), compared with EU (TBWD20: 48.8 +/- 7.5 L, TBWBIS: 44.3 +/- 5.0 L), but TBWD20 was consistently higher (3.9 +/- 4.0 L, P < 0.05) than TBWBIS during all tests. TBWD20 and TBWBIS were correlated (P < 0.05) during EU (r = 0.87), HH (r = 0.84), and IH (r = 0.84). The change in TBW from EU during HH was greater (P < 0.05) for TBWD20 (3.5 +/- 0.8 L) than TBWBIS (2.1 +/- 0.9 L), but during IH the change in TBW reflected by TBWD20 (3.0 +/- 0.6 L) and TBWBIS (2.3 +/- 0.8 L) did not differ. The change in TBWD20 and TBWBIS between EU and hypohydration was correlated for HH (r = 0.77, P < 0.05), but not IH. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that BIS is sufficiently sensitive to detect moderate hypohydration; however, the resolution of this technique diminished with isotonic fluid loss.

AB - BACKGROUND: Light infantry soldiers (N = 218) completed a 161-km cross-country march over 5 days carrying an average +/- SD load mass (i.e., the weight of all equipment and clothing) of 47 +/- 5 kg. METHODS: Prior to the march, height, weight, body fat, and physical fitness (3.2-km run, sit-ups, push-ups) were measured. Soldiers completed a demographic questionnaire which included questions on age and tobacco use history. RESULTS: Thirty-six percent (78/218) of the soldiers suffered one or more injuries. Of the total injuries, 48% presented were blisters and 18% were foot pain (not otherwise specified). Eight percent (17/218) of the soldiers were unable to complete the march because of injuries. Thirty-five percent (27/78) of the injured soldiers had 1 or more limited duty days for a total of 69 days. Risk of injury was higher among smokers (risk ratio = 1.8, P = 0.03 compared to nonsmokers) and lower among older soldiers (risk ratio = 3.2, P = 0.02, < 20 years compared to > 24 years). CONCLUSIONS: Carrying heavy loads over long distances can result in a high injury incidence to the lower body, since 36% of soldiers were injured during the 161-km march. Smoking and younger age (< 20 years) were independent risk factors for injuries.

Significantly reduced natural tooth structure often remains not only because of previous restorative measures but also because of endodontic procedures. Cast restorations for these teeth are almost universally recommended. The exception to this is the rare instance in which only conservative endodontic access openings exist in teeth presenting with no former existing restorations. Typically, multiple clinical appointments are required to complete the final cast restoration. This article presents Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Assisted Manufacturing/Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing applications for restorative dentistry that provide the necessary care in an expeditious manner.

Background: Recently, much attention has been given to the assessment and management of mild brain injury by the sports medicine community. Although the classification of and management strategies for mild brain injury have been well disputed, most experts agree on the essentials of the sideline or initial evaluation. According to leading experts, if an athlete has experienced an episode of mild brain injury, the initial signs and symptoms, as well as the course of those signs and symptoms, should be documented. Description: Although many athletic training texts formerly discussed techniques for evaluating an episode of mild brain injury, few present an objective protocol to follow. Our protocol includes 3 components. The first component is the initial evaluation, which incorporates serial observations during the first 20 minutes after injury, with neurologic checks every 5 minutes. The second component includes a take-home sheet for athletes not referred to a physician for further evaluation. The third part of the protocol is a 24-hour postinjury follow-up examination for any signs or symptoms of postconcussion syndrome. Finally, we present the indications for referral to a physician for further evaluation. Clinical Advantages/Recommendations: Using a standard protocol to guide evaluation and to document the initial course of signs and symptoms after mild brain injury allows the sports medicine staff to make better management decisions. In addition, patient instructions and the course of follow-up evaluations can be improved if a standard protocol is employed. Our protocol has been developed to meet the needs both of athletes who are exposed to mild brain injury on a daily basis and of the certified athletic trainers who initially evaluate them; the protocol can be adapted to the individual needs of each athletic training setting.

JO - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management JF - Integrated Environmental Assessment & Management Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 175 EP - 182 SN - 15513777 AB - Navigation infrastructure such as channels, jetties, river training structures, and lock-and-dam facilities are primary components of a safe and efficient water transportation system. Planning for such infrastructure has until recently involved efforts to minimize impacts on the environment through a standardized environmental assessment process. More recently, consistent with environmental sustainability concepts, planners have begun to consider how such projects can also be constructed with environmental enhancements. This study examined the existing institutional conditions within the US Army Corps of Engineers and cooperating federal agencies relative to incorporating environmental enhancements into navigation infrastructure projects. The study sought to (1) investigate institutional attitudes towards the environmental enhancement of navigation infrastructure (EENI) concept, (2) identify potential impediments to implementation and solutions to such impediments, (3) identify existing navigation projects designed with the express intent of enhancing environmental benefit in addition to the primary project purpose, (4) identify innovative ideas for increasing environmental benefits for navigation projects, (5) identify needs for additional technical information or research, and (6) identify laws, regulations, and policies that both support and hinder such design features. The principal investigation tool was an Internet-based survey with 53 questions. The survey captured a wide range of perspectives on the EENI concept including ideas, concerns, research needs, and relevant laws and policies. Study recommendations included further promotion of the concept of EENI to planners and designers, documentation of existing projects, initiation of pilot studies on some of the innovative ideas provided through the survey, and development of national goals and interagency agreements to facilitate implementation.

However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 178 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1256 EP - 1263 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is an illness that affects many individuals at altitudes above 2,400 m (8,000 ft) resulting in decreased performance. Models that provide quantitative estimates of AMS risk are expanding, but predictive genetic models for AMS susceptibility are still under investigation. Thirty-four male U.S. Army Soldier volunteers were exposed to baseline, 3,000 m, 3,500 m, or 4,500 m altitude conditions in a hypobaric chamber and evaluated for onset of AMS symptoms. In addition, mice were evaluated at extreme hypoxia conditions equivalent to 7,600 m. Real-time polymerase chain reaction hypoxia response array was used to identify 15 genes that were activated in Soldiers and 46 genes that were activated in mice. We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a gene that is significantly activated in response to hypoxia (5.8-fold upregulated at 4,500 m in humans). The role of ANGPTL4 in high-altitude response has not been explored. Pretreatment of mice with fenofibrate, an /WGiTW-activating pharmaceutical, had a considerable effect on overall hypoxia response gene expression and resulted in significantly decreased cerebral edema following exposure to hypoxia. Activation of ANGPTL4 may protect against cerebral edema by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor and therefore serve as a potential target for AMS prevention.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 178 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1164 EP - 1182 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The military unit is a critical center of gravity in the military's efforts to enhance resilience and the health of the force. The purpose of this article is to augment the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) guidance with a framework of TFF in units. The framework is based on a Military Demand-Resource model that highlights the dynamic interactions across demands, resources, and outcomes. A joint team of subject-matter experts identified key variables representing unit fitness demands, resources, and outcomes. The resulting framework informs and supports leaders, support agencies, and enterprise efforts to strengthen TFF in units by (1) identifying TFF unit variables aligned with current evidence and operational practices, (2) standardizing communication about TFF in units across the Department of Defense enterprise in a variety of military organizational contexts, (3) improving current resources including evidence- based actions for leaders, (4) identifying and addressing of gaps, and (5) directing future research for enhancing TFF in units. These goals are intended to inform and enhance Service efforts to develop Service-specific TFF models, as well as provide the conceptual foundation for a follow-on article about TFF metrics for units.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/10/02/Oct2013 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Computer-based technologies informed by the science of learning are becoming increasingly prevalent in education and training. For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r2 = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r2 = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are "fit for duty" (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

Dexamethasone and /V-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 178 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 926 EP - 933 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Environmental heat illness and injuries are a serious concern for the Army and Marines. Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be mote widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R2 = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R2 = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 178 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 914 EP - 920 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: Increasing numbers of Staphylococcus aureus infections demonstrate antibiotic resistance. Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. Purpose: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. Methods: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. Results: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. Conclusion: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts.

In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as "General Service" or "Limited Service" it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the "handicapped" and "substandard" and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution.

Materials/Methods: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (I) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323)- and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STK1 risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. Results: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (I) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). Major Conclusion: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI.

AB - This research used a capabilities and benevolence framework to examine 2 characteristics (learning orientation and propensity to trust) potentially associated with a cadet's attitudes and responses to organizational change. The research hypothesized that cadets with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others will hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the cadet's general dispositional resistance to change. Findings confirmed the hypothesis regarding learning orientation but not trust. Discussion focused on how organizations, by identifying the factors associated with a person's dispositional orientation, may ultimately develop better interventions to influence responses to change and increase the overall effectiveness of change initiatives.

AB - A previous report (Picano, Roland, Rollins, & Williams, 2002) showed sentence completion test (SCT) verbal defensiveness to be higher among elite military personnel who failed to complete a rigorous selection course. In this article, we prospectively evaluate whether SCT verbal defensiveness differentiates completion of a selection course for high demand military missions in a new sample of 125 military personnel. We further describe relationships between SCT verbal defensiveness and psychologist ratings of suitability for high demand military positions. Candidates high in SCT verbal defensiveness were less likely to complete a rigorous military selection course for high demand assignments and were twice as likely as those low in verbal defensiveness to leave early in the course. Psychologists rated candidates who were high in verbal defensiveness lower in overall suitability for high demand assignment and lower in motivation, trainability, and personality competence than candidates low in SCT verbal defensiveness. These findings support continued investigation of the SCT in military selection research. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - Positive character strengths, virtues, and values are touted in military doctrine as critical for effective leadership, yet little evidence exists describing such traits in military samples. This study compared West Point cadets (N = 103), Norwegian Naval Academy cadets (N = 141), and U.S. civilians aged 18 to 21 (N = 838) with respect to 24 character strengths. Results generally showed that the absolute scores of West Point cadets were higher than either of the other 2 groups. However, when the rank orders of character strengths were compared, the 2 military samples were more highly correlated with each other than either was with the U.S. civilian sample. The greatest strengths evident among the military samples were honesty, hope, bravery, industry, and teamwork. Implications for multiforce military operations are discussed.

This study was designed to determine if outside-the-boot ankle braces could reduce ankle sprains during Army paratrooper training. Methods: The randomized trial involved 777 volunteers from the U.S. Army Airborne School, Fort Benning, Ga. Of this group, 745 completed all study requirements (369 brace-wearers and 376 non-brace-wearers). Each volunteer made five parachute jumps, for a total of 3,674 jumps. Results: The incidence of inversion ankle sprains was 1.9% in non-brace-wearers and 0.3% in brace-wearers (risk ratio, 6.9; p = 0.04). Other injuries appeared unaffected by the brace. Overall, 5.3% of the non-brace group and 4.6% of the brace group experienced at least one injury. The risk ratio for injured individuals was 1.2:1 (non-brace to brace groups; p = 0.65). Conclusion: Inversion ankle sprains during parachute training can be significantly reduced by using an outside-the-boot ankle brace, with no increase in risk for other injuries.

Therefore, treatment is needed to speed healing in people with diabetes in order to reduce the need for amputation. This study tested the effect of high-voltage pulsed current on foot blood flow in human beings who are at risk for diabetic foot ulcers. Neuropathy, vascular disease, Wagner Class, glucose, gender, ethnicity, and age were measured. A sample of 132 subjects was tested using a repeated-measures design. A baseline transcutaneous oxygen level was obtained; stimulation was applied, and transcutaneous oxygen measurements were recorded at 30- and 60-minute time intervals. The grouped foot transcutaneous oxygen levels decreased (F = 5.66, p = .0039) following electrical stimulation. Analysis of variance (Scheffe, p < .05) showed that initial transcutaneous oxygen was significantly higher than subsequent readings. However, oxygen response was distributed bimodally: 35 (27%) subjects showed increased transcutaneous oxygen (mean 14.8 mm Hg), and 97 (73%) experienced a decreased transcutaneous oxygen reading (mean 12.2 mm Hg). Logistic regression analysis did not explain these differences. Although this treatment appears to increase blood flow in a subset of patients, further study is needed to identify probable mechanisms for this response. SN - 1067-1927 AD - U.s.

METHODS: Four men and five women (age 25+/-2 yr, BSA 1.81+/-0.05 m2, VO2 peak 3.1+/-0.4 L x min[-1]) participated in four 3-h trials: cold (18 degrees C) water rest (CWR), cold water exercise (CWE), warm (36 degrees C) water rest (WWR), and warm water exercise (WWE). Subjects were immersed to the neck for each trial. During resting trials, subjects sat quietly. During exercise trials, subjects completed three bouts of 15 min of rest, followed by 45 min of exercise on a cycle ergometer at 50% of peak oxygen uptake. The temperature pill was taken 10-12 h before testing, after which the subjects fasted. RESULTS: The trials created conditions of constantly decreasing (CWR) or increasing (WWR) core temperature, as well as periods of oscillating core temperature (CWE and WWE). Root mean squared deviation (RMSD) was calculated for each pair of measurements (Tpill vs Tre, Tpill vs Tes, Tre vs Tes) for each trial. An RMSD of '0' indicates perfect agreement; as RMSD increases, agreement worsens. On CWR, the RMSD for Tpill-Tes (0.23+/-0.04) was lower (P < 0.05) than for Tpill-Tre (0.43+/-0.10) or Tre-Tes (0.46+/-0.09). There were no significant differences in RMSD between measurement pairs on any other trial (average RMSD = 0.26 degrees C). Telemetry pill temperature and response time tended to be intermediate between Tre and Tes. CONCLUSION: These results suggest the telemetry pill system provides a valid measurement of core temperature during conditions of decreasing as well as increasing body temperature and during steady state.

The sensor device employs an equilateral triangle configuration consisting of three mechanically coupled circular membranes whose oscillations are detected by a fiber-optic system. The experimental results indicate that significant amplification of the directional cues and directional sensitivity can be achieved with the fly-ear inspired sensor design. This work can provide a basis for the development of miniature sound localization sensors in two dimensions.

AB - The purpose of this study was to extend the demand-control model (R. A. Karasek, 1979) by examining coping as an additional factor. It was hypothesized that perceived job control only buffered the demand-strain relationship when individuals used active coping and exacerbated the relationship when individuals used passive coping. Soldiers (N=638) were surveyed before and during a 6-month peacekeeping deployment to Kosovo. Results partially confirmed the hypotheses. Even after controlling for general psychological health at predeployment, job control moderated the relationship between demands and psychological health during deployment when soldiers used active coping. No significant 3-way interactions were found for religious coping and passive coping. Implications for demand-control modeling and potential applications of the findings to soldier and leader training are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - The U.S. Army typifies the stressful nature of many contemporary work settings, as soldiers face a climate of increasing work demands coupled with declining resources. The authors used social identity theory to propose hypotheses regarding contextual and cross-level effects of shared stressors on individual outcomes critical to the functioning of military units (well-being, attachment, readiness). Although the authors found weak support for direct effects of shared stressors on individual outcomes, they found several compelling moderating effects for shared stressors on person-level stressor-outcome relationships. For most effects, shared stressors intensified the effects of person-level stressors on morale, commitment, and depression. However, some shared stressors exerted counterintuitive effects on stressor-outcome relationships. Implications for research and military personnel management are discussed.

AB - This study examined the effects of stressor duration (deployment length) and stressor novelty (no prior deployment experience) on the psychological health of male and female military personnel returning from a peacekeeping deployment. The sample consisted of men (n = 2,114) and women (n = 1,225) surveyed for symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress. The results confirmed the hypotheses. Longer deployments and 1st-time deployments were associated with an increase in distress scores. However, the relationship between deployment length and increased distress was found only for male soldiers. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering the impact of exposure to long-term occupational stressors and confirm, in part, previous research that has demonstrated a different stress response pattern for men and women.

Psychometric properties of the Neck Disability Index and numeric pain rating scale in patients with mechanical neck pain. Objective: To examine the psychometric properties including test-retest reliability, construct validity, and minimum levels of detectable and clinically important change for the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain in a cohort of patients with neck pain. Design: Single-group repeated-measures design. Setting: Outpatient physical therapy (PT) clinics. Participants: Patients (N=137) presenting to PT with a primary report of neck pain. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: All patients completed the NDI and the NRS at the baseline examination and at a follow-up. At the time of the follow-up, all patients also completed the global rating of change, which was used to dichotomize patients as improved or stable. Baseline and follow-up scores were used to determine the test-retest reliability, construct validity, and minimal levels of detectable and clinically important change for both the NDI and NRS. Results: Test-retest reliability was calculated using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (NDI ICC=.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], .25–.67; NRS ICC=.76; 95% CI, .51–.87). The area under the curve was .83 (95% CI, .75–.90) for the NDI score and .85 (95% CI, .78–.93) for the NRS score for determining between stable and improved patients. Thresholds for the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the NDI were 19-percentage points and 1.3 for the NRS. Conclusions: Both the NDI and NRS exhibit fair to moderate test-retest reliability in patients with mechanical neck pain. Both instruments also showed adequate responsiveness in this patient population. However, the MCID required to be certain that the change in scores has surpassed a level that could be contributed to measurement error for the NDI was twice that which has previously been reported. Therefore the ongoing analyses of the properties of the NDI in a patient population with neck pain are warranted.

Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used as hosts of the MCSG and donors of autologous tissue. Male ACI rats were used as donors of allodermis. MCSGs with open meshed area (autoepidermal/allodermal) of 9:1/1.5:1, 9:1/3:1, 9:1/6:1, or 6:1/6:1 were applied to full-thickness skin defects and treated with a silver nylon dressing (SN) or SN with direct current (DC). Wound size, hair regrowth, and thickness of dermal layer were evaluated at 3 months. Results: MCSGs of 9:1/1.5:1, 9:1/3:1, and 6:1/6:1 mesh ratios healed completely within 3 months with no difference in wound size between SN dressing groups or DC-treated groups. Application of DC reduced MCSG contraction and stimulated regrowth of hair. Conclusion: Fresh autoepidermis can be expanded 6:1 on a 6:1 allodermis or 9:1 on a 3:1 allodermis and achieve successful wound healing.

A portable pressure-controlled time-cycled transport ventilator permits this modality to be used in the field. We have examined the safety and efficacy of this ventilator for aeromedical transfer of thermally injured patients. Burn flight teams transported 146 intubated patients with thermal injury to the U.S. Army Burn Center with this system. The average extent of burn injury was 40.45% total body surface area with an average full-thickness injury of 25.29% total body surface area. The transport ventilator was used for 57 rotary wing and 89 fixed wing missions. The study group was transported a total of 86,889 miles without in-flight morbidity, mortality, or failure of ventilation. Arterial blood gas analysis at conclusion of flight demonstrated an arterial pH > or = 7.35 in 85% of the patients, an arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide < or = 45 torr in 97%, and an arterial partial pressure of oxygen > or = 70 torr in 99%. Pressure-controlled ventilation performed by an experienced transport team with this ventilator is safe and effective for the long-range aeromedical transfer of intubated patients with burns.

The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) has 157 commissioned pharmacy officers and 399 civilian pharmacists working in the United States and overseas. Pharmaceutical services are provided from fixed medical treatment facilities on Army installations and, during war and other field operations, field hospitals. Reductions in personnel and facility closures have helped align the AMEDD with the size of the Army's activeduty force, but there has been only a 15% reduction in the number of eligible beneficiaries. Measures such as the interservice TRICARE program have been implemented to help meet the continued high demand for pharmaceutical services cost-effectively. Army pharmacy is similar to civilian pharmacy, except that Army hospitals often include high-volume outpatient pharmacies not usually found in civilian institutions. Pharmacists are being given direct patient care roles on multidisciplinary teams. Army pharmacists participate in field exercises so that they will be prepared to provide services under combat conditions. The AMEDD trains its own pharmacy technicians in a highly structured 18-week course. A triservice Pharmacoeconomic Center (PEC) has been established with the goal of providing prescribers with the tools for making cost-effective decisions about drug therapy, including a formulary. Army pharmacy officers have broad opportunities to further their education and training. In preparing for the next century, Army pharmacists need to continue to prove their value to the AMEDD, the Army, and the Department of Defense.

For every child in America who dies of a vaccine-preventable disease, about 400 adults die of such a disease. Evidence of the merit of influenza vaccination continues to accumulate, yet < 30% of high-risk people younger than 65 have been vaccinated. Use of pneumococcal vaccine lags behind that of influenza vaccine. Serious discrepancies in immunization levels exist among different segments of U.S. adult society. A vaccination status assessment is now recommended for everyone reaching the age of 50. New vaccines are available to prevent varicella, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever. There are now two formulations of hepatitis A virus vaccine; adult users of these vaccines include travelers, people relocating to areas with poor sanitation, military personnel, laboratory workers, and hemophiliacs. New rabies vaccines may be the next vaccines to be used primarily in adults. Vaccines against pertussis, Lyme disease, cholera, herpes simplex, malaria, other infectious diseases, and cancer are in various stages of development. For health care personnel in areas where there is a strong likelihood of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission and infection, BCG vaccination is recommended. The risk of immunization to a person infected with the human immunodeficiency virus is likely outweighed by the protection offered against other health threats. Health systems should select tetanus-diphtheria toxoids adsorbed for their formularies for immunizing adults, not monovalent tetanus toxoid. Vaccines are available to prevent a growing list of infectious diseases but are underused in adults.

Parallel studies with lead as a reference toxicant also were conducted. Although sodium tungstate (Na2WO4) was less acutely toxic than lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) in 14-d spiked field soil acute toxicity assays (lethal concentrations for 50% of organisms: W, 6,250 mg/kg; Pb, 2,490 mg/kg), tungstate completely inhibited reproduction in 28- and 56-d assays at all tested tungsten concentrations (704 mg/kg). By comparison, cocoon production was not significantly reduced for lead concentrations until concentrations reached 766 mg/kg, and cocoon production was still observed at the highest concentration tested (1,650 mg/kg). These data indicate that tungsten is a reproductive toxicant for earthworms and that, by comparison, its sublethal toxicity is greater than that of lead. Toxicity data for other soil invertebrate species are required to fully establish benchmark levels/ecological soil screening levels for tungsten.

The Eco-SSLs for several soil contaminants have been developed from toxicity benchmarks for soil invertebrates in the existing literature. Insufficient information to generate Eco-SSLs for Sb, Ba, and Be necessitated toxicity testing to fill the data gaps. We used standardized toxicity tests with the earthworm Eisenia fetida, enchytraeid Enchytraeus crypticus, and collembolan Folsomia candida in the present study. These tests were selected on the basis of their ability to measure chemical toxicity to ecologically relevant test species during chronic assays and their inclusion of at least one reproduction component among the measurement endpoints. Tests were conducted in Sassafras Sandy Loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of metals. Weathering and aging procedures for metals in amended soil were incorporated into these studies to better reflect exposure conditions in the field. The relative toxicity of metals to the soil invertebrates tested was Be > Sb > Ba based on the median effective concentration values for reproduction. These studies produced toxicological data that can contribute to the development of Eco-SSLs for Sb, Ba, and Be for soil invertebrates.

AB - This special issue of Military Psychology explores the impact that operations tempo (OPTEMPO) has on soldier and family readiness. OPTEMPO is a military term that became popular during the 1990s when a military draw-down corresponded with a significant increase in military operations. OPTEMPO became a pressing issue during what can be termed the U.S. military's "peacekeeping phase," characterized by frequent deployments to the Balkans and various humanitarian missions. The findings presented in this special issue are taken from studies with soldiers and spouses during this peacekeeping phase. Although deployments are one of the most visible indicators of OPTEMPO, we conceptualize OPTEMPO more broadly. OPTEMPO is a multifaceted construct and, as such, it consists of several operational definitions that reflect workload in garrison, training, and deployed environments. The focus of our research is to identify effective strategies for reducing the negative impact that high OPTEMPO might have on soldiers and families. Given that it is often impossible or unrealistic to control military stressors, focusing on interventions to address the impact of these stressors is essential.

Issue Publication Date: 2005. AB - Previous research has found that the way in which work overload correlates with performance differs depending on how it is measured. Workload correlates positively with performance, whereas role overload does not. For the military, the concept of work overload is particularly relevant because of the heightened levels of operations tempo across three military environments: garrison, training, and deployment. This study surveyed 695 military personnel in all 3 environments and compared work overload reports with archived and self-report measures of performance. In general, results revealed that workload correlated positively with performance, whereas role overload was not correlated with performance. There was also some evidence of a moderating effect of military environment on the work overload-performance relation. The implication for treating the 2 components of workload and role overload as distinct and assessing the role of the work context are discussed.

AB - Several variables have been identified as buffering the impact of workload on health. This study focused on the role of wellness behaviors, specifically physical exercise and sleep, in moderating this impact. The study hypothesized that both sleep and exercise would moderate the impact of work hours on health; it also examined the role of alcohol use as a moderator. U.S. soldiers (N = 1,422) were surveyed on a range of topics related to well-being and workload. Multiple regression results partially supported the hypotheses. Physical exercise was a significant moderator of work hours for both psychological and physical health outcomes, whereas sleep moderated only psychological health outcomes. Low alcohol use moderated the impact of work hours on physical symptoms but only when work hours were short. This article discusses the use of wellness behaviors as a strategy for coping with workload and the need for understanding the role of alcohol use during periods of relatively low workload.

AB - Previous research has found inconsistent links between operations tempo (OPTEMPO) and turnover in military personnel. This study addressed these inconsistent findings by including different operational definitions of retention, assessing whether the relation between OPTEMPO and turnover is curvilinear, and examining the impact of subjective perceptions of OPTEMPO on turnover. U.S. soldiers stationed in Europe were surveyed (N = 288) and interviewed (n = 177). Career intentions closely matched actual retention behavior as measured in archival records. Both perceptions of role overload related to OPTEMPO and workload measures of OPTEMPO were linked with career decision. Role overload related to work hours was associated with turnover, whereas a workload measure was not. Number of temporary duty (TDY) days was found to be curvilinear in relation to retention. Qualitative data identified similar reasons for turnover and retention across rank groups, but the way in which these reasons were processed differed by rank. Future research needs to consider rank, work context, definitions, and perceptions of OPTEMPO, as well as the influence of TDY days on turnover decisions.

AB - Objective indicators are considered to be the most reliable and inherently valid indicators of performance, but such data can be difficult and expensive to collect. It is also not certain whether objective data archived in organizational records are the "gold standard" metric they are often touted to be. This study compared self-report data obtained from active duty soldiers (N = 433) to their data maintained in organizational records. Performance measures included (a) demonstration of effort (i.e., number of military awards), (b) physical health and fitness (i.e., army physical fitness test score, number of sick call visits, duty restriction for health reasons), (c) soldiering proficiency (i.e., individual weapon qualification score), and (d) personal discipline (i.e., violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, cases of indebtedness, and substance abuse counseling referral). Slight to moderate concordance was found between all self-report and unit records of soldier performance. When there was a misclassification, the majority of soldier self-reports demonstrated positive bias for measures that were directly job related in the Army (e.g., M16 rifle qualification performance and physical fitness). However, there were also cases of negative bias for other aspects of performance (e.g., sick call, indebtedness, substance abuse referral). In general, results from previous research linking positive self-presentation with positive affect and job attitudes were not replicated. The role of errors in both archival records and self-reported data are discussed, along with implications for developing a gold standard method of collecting performance data. Identifying the variables that affect performance has been the subject of extensive investigation. Whether studying stressors or moderating variables, the focus of the vast majority of occupational research is predicting job performance. One of the challenges in measuring performance is to assess the indicators that support an organization in obtaining its goals. Thus, organizational psychology researchers often refer to this challenge as the criterion problem (e.g., Borman & Motowidlo, 1993). The question of how to identify the relevant performance constructs and define them operationally is of paramount importance if we hope to understand their antecedents and consequences.

AB - This study examined the motivational orientation of U.S. Army aviators as well as their preferences and expectations for future flight experience. A sample of 116 aviators-in-training enrolled in the Army's Initial Entry Rotary Wing aviator course at Fort Rucker, Alabama, participated in the study. Despite the occupational paradigm for each type of aviator (e.g., commissioned officers will typically focus on administrative and leadership skills, whereas warrant officers will typically specialize on individual piloting skills) and current Army policies focused on warrant officer aviator retention (e.g., additional monetary compensation), it was hypothesized that the aviators would not significantly differ with respect to these variables. A multivariate analysis of variance indicated that commissioned officer and warrant officer aviators did not significantly differ with respect to motivational orientation, preferences for future flight experience, and expectations of future flight experience. Hierarchical regression models were then developed to determine the relative importance of gender, officer type, and motivational orientation toward the prediction of preferences for and expectations of future flight experience. Motivational orientation contributed significantly to the prediction of preferences, whereas officer type contributed significantly to the prediction of expectations of future flight experience. Implications of these findings with respect to retention and job satisfaction, as well as methodological limitations of the study and future research directions, are reported.

Funded by MRMC PRMRP 033015.; Publication Type: Article; Material Type: PRINT; Update Code: 20080101; SIRC Article No.: S-1067848 N2 - There exists a popular notion that cloud cover and/or low solar radiation increase the likelihood of running a fast marathon. This information can be found in anecdotal reports, authoritative reference books for runners, and scientific publications alike, but it lacks a comprehensive review. Purpose: 1) To determine whether the presence of cloud cover or low solar load are associated with fast marathons, 2) to describe the weather conditions during fast marathons, and 3) to determine whether the fastest men's and women's marathons are run in similar conditions. Methods: Finishing times and weather conditions were obtained for the winning performances of seven North American marathons, the 10 all-time fastest marathon times, world record marathons (WR), and Olympic Marathons for men (M) and women (F). Results: Cloud cover was not associated with a fast marathon race when odds ratios were calculated using the entire data set (0.68 (M); 0.51 (F)) or restricted to the 5-15[degrees]C ambient temperature (Tdb) range associated with fast race performances (0.42 (M); 0.43 (F)). Low solar load conditions also were not associated using the complete data set (1.4 (M); 1.3 (F)) or when restricted to the 5-15[degrees]C range (2.25 (M); 1.1 (F)). The common factor among fast performances has been low Tdb (10.6-12.8[degrees]C (M); 11.6-13.6[degrees]C (F)). In addition, neither cloud cover nor solar load were associated with top 10 or WR performances, because performances occurred in all cloud cover and solar load conditions. Conclusion: The presence of cloud cover or low solar load does not increase the likelihood of running a fast marathon. The prevailing temperatures during the fastest marathons (approximately 12[degrees]C) corroborate previous assertions and seem similar for men and women.

Hypothesis: The incidence rate of complete anterior cruciate ligament tears for men and women in our athletic, college-aged population is similar. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Students graduating in class years 1994 to 2003 at our institution who sustained complete anterior cruciate ligament tears were assessed for mechanism of injury and type of sport played at time of injury. We calculated the incidence proportion, an estimation of risk, by gender and class year, and the incidence proportion ratio comparing men and women by class year. We also calculated incidence rates by gender and type of sport played and incidence rate ratios comparing men and women. Results: There were 353 anterior cruciate ligament injuries in the 10 classes studied. We found an overall, 4-year incidence proportion of 3.24 per 100 (95 % confidence interval, 2.89-3.63) for men and 3.51 (95 % confidence interval, 2.65-4.65) for women (incidence proportion ratio, 1.09 [95 % confidence interval, 0.80-1.47]). The overall anterior cruciate ligament injury rate, excluding male-only sports, was significantly greater in women (incidence rate ratio, 1.51 [95 % confidence interval, 1.03-2.21]). We found significantly greater injury rates among women in a gymnastics course (incidence rate ratio, 5.67 [95 % confidence interval, 1.99-16.16]), indoor obstacle course test (incidence rate ratio, 3.72 [95 % confidence interval, 1.25-11.10]), and basketball (incidence rate ratio, 2.42 [95 % confidence interval, 1.05-5.59]). Conclusion: We found little gender difference in the overall risk of an anterior cruciate ligament tear; however, there were gender differences in injury rates when specific sports and activities were compared and when male-only sports were removed from the overall rate assessment.

Most of these altitude-induced debilitations can he prevented or ameliorated by a wide range of physiological responses collectively referred to as altitude acclimatization. Acclimatization to a target altitude can be induced by slow progressive ascents or continuous sojourns at intermediate altitudes. However, this "altitude residency" requirement reduces their utilization in rapid response military missions that exploit the air mobility capability of modem military forces to quickly deploy to an area of operations on short notice. A more recent approach to induce altitude acclimatization is the use of daily intermittent hypoxie exposures (IHE) in lieu of continuous residence at high altitudes. IHE treatments consist of three elements: 1) IHE simulated altitude (inspired oxygen partial pressure: PIO2), 2) IHE session duration, and 3) total number of IHE sessions over the treatment period. This paper reviews and summarizes the results of 25 published IHE studies. This review finds that an IHE altitude > 4000 m, and daily exposure duration of at least 1.5 h repeated over a week or more are required to have a high probability of developing altitude acclimatization. The efficacy of shorter duration (< 1.5 h) hypoxic exposures at > 4000 m simulated altitudes, and longer exposures (> 4 h) at moderate altitudes (2500-3500 m) is not well documented. The predominate IHE-induced altitude acclimatization response appears to be increased arterial oxygen content through ventilatory acclimatization. Thus, IHE is a promising approach to provide the benefits of altitude acclimatization to low-altitude-based soldiers before their deployment to high mountainous regions.

Anesthetized swine (injury, n = 8; control, n = 6) sustained a right-chest PC by a captive-bolt apparatus. This was followed by a 12-ml/kg hemorrhage, resuscitation, and reinfusion of shed blood. MIGET and thoracic computed tomography (CT) were performed before and 6 h after injury. Three-dimensional CT scan reconstruction enabled determination of the combined fractional volume of poorly aerated and non-aerated lung tissue (VOL), and the mean gray-scale density (MGSD). Six hours after PC in injured animals, Pao2 decreased from 234.9 ± 5.1 to 113.9 ± 13.0 mmHg. Shunt (Qs) increased (2.7 ± 0.4 to 12.3 ± 2.2%) at the expense of blood flow to normal ventilation/perfusion compartments (97.1 ± 0.4 to 87.4 ± 2.2%). Dead space ventilation (VD/VT) increased (58.7 ± 1.7% to 67.2 ± 1.2%). MGSD increased (-696.7 ± 6.1 to -565.0 ± 24.3 Hounsfield units), as did VOL (4.3 ± 0.5 to 33.5 ± 3.2%). Multivariate linear regression of MGSD, VOL, VD/VT, and Qs vs. PaO2 retained VOL and Qs (r2 = .835) as independent covariates of PaO2. An increase in Qs characterizes lung failure 6 h after pulmonary contusion; Qs and VOL correlate independently with PaO2.

This study examined the physiological consequences of U.S. Army Ranger training on strength, power, body composition, and somatotrophic hormones. Methods: In an intensive 8-wk military training course that included an average daily energy deficit of 1000 kcal.d-1, lower-body power output, maximal lifting strength, body composition, and serum concentrations of several somatotrophic hormones were measured in 50 male soldiers (24.6 +/- 4.4 y; 176.1 +/- 7.8 cm; 78.4 +/- 8.7 kg; 14.7 +/- 4.2 % body fat) before and after the course. Results: Vertical jump height (-16 %), explosive power output (-21 %), maximal lifting strength. (-20 %), body mass (-13 %), fat-free mass (-6 %), and fat mass (-50 %) declined (P < 0.05) after the training course. Circulating total testosterone and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) experienced significant (P < 0.05) declines, and cortisol was significantly increased. Lower-body power output, but not maximal lifting strength, correlated with changes in fat-free mass. IGF-I and cortisol, but not total testosterone, were correlated with losses of tissue mass. Conclusion: Lower-body power output, estimated from vertical jump height and body mass, is a sensitive and field expedient measure that can be used to assess the influence of caloric deficit on physical performance after 8 wk of U.S. Army Ranger training. With severe weight loss (greater than or equal to 13 % of body mass), IGF-I and cortisol correlate more closely with soft-tissue tissue adaptations than does testosterone.

Selenocysteine insertion sequence-associating factors, adenosine, and Abl and Arg tyrosine kinases are potent, Se-independent regulators of GPX1 gene, protein, and activity. Overwhelming evidences have been generated using the GPX1 knockout and transgenic mice for the in vivo protective role of GPX1 in coping with oxidative injury and death mediated by reactive oxygen species. However, GPX1 exerts an intriguing dual role in reactive nitrogen species (RNS)-related oxidative stress. Strikingly, knockout of GPX1 rendered mice resistant to toxicities of drugs including acetaminophen and kainic acid, known as RNS inducers. Intracellular and tissue levels of GPX1 activity affect apoptotic signaling pathway, protein kinases phosphorylation, and oxidant-mediated activation of NFκB. Data are accumulating to link alteration or abnormality of GPX1 expression to etiology of cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, autoimmune disease, and diabetes. Future research should focus on the mechanism of GPX1 in the pathogeneses and potential applications of GPX1 manipulation in the treatment of these disorders.

The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of organ-tissue mass of fat-free mass (FFM) components to REE for Sumo wrestlers who have large FFM and REE. We investigated the relationship between the REE measured by indirect calorimetry and the REE calculated from organ-tissue mass using a previously published approach. Methods: Ten Sumo wrestlers and 11 male untrained college students (controls) were recruited to participate in this study. FFM was estimated by two-component densitometry. Contiguous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images with a 1-cm slice thickness were obtained from the top of head to the ankle joints, and the cross-sectional area and volume were determined for skeletal muscle (SM), liver, kidney, and brain. The volume of adipose tissue, heart, and residual was calculated from each equation. The volume units were converted into mass by an assumed constant density. The measured REE was determined by indirect calorimetry. The calculated REE was estimated as the sum of individual organ-tissue masses (seven body compartments) multiplied by their metabolic rate constants. Results: The measured REE for Sumo wrestlers (2286 kcal.d-1) was higher (P < 0.01) than for controls (1545 kcal.1-1). Sumo wrestlers had a greater amount of FFM and FFM components (e.g., SM, liver, and kidney), except for brain. The ratio of measured REE to FFM and the measured REE adjusted by FFM were similar between the two groups. The measured REE values for Sumo wrestlers were not significantly different from the calculated REE values. Conclusions: The high REE for Sumo wrestlers can be attributed not to an elevation of the organ-tissue metabolic rate, but to a larger absolute amount of low and high metabolically active tissue including SM, liver, and kidney.

VO2max is an important indicator of health-risk status, specifically for coronary heart disease. Direct measurement of VO2max is considered to be the most accurate means of determining cardiovascular fitness level. According to a literature search, no published cross- validation specifically examines the YMCA submaximal cycle ergometer test. The mean difference of the prediction was calculated by subtnLcting TM VO2max from the YMCA-predicted VO2max.

The anthropometric model assumed that a cross section of the thigh could be represented as a circle with concentric circular layers of fat-plus-skin, muscle, and bone tissue. On 18 healthy, active men and women (mean +/- SD age = 23 +/- 5 yr), total thigh circumference (CT) was measured with a fiberglass tape, fat-plus-skin thickness was measured over the quadriceps (SQ) using calipers, and the distance across the medial and lateral femoral epicondyle (dE) was measured with calipers. Direct measurements of each tissue were obtained by planimetry of an MRI image taken at the same site as the circumference and skinfolds. Thigh muscle cross-sectional area (AM) was estimated as follows: [equation: see text] Mean +/- SD AM from MRI and anthropometry were 121.9 +/- 35.1 cm2 and 149.1 +/- 34.1 cm2 (r = 0.96, SEE = 10.1 cm2), respectively. Errors in the anthropometric approximations of AM were due to an overestimate of the total thigh cross-sectional area and an underestimate of fat-plus-skin compartment. Because of the close relationship between MRI and anthropometric estimates of AM, zero-intercept regression was used to produce the following final equation, applicable for use in populations studies of young, healthy, active men and women: [equation: see text] SN - 0195-9131 AD - U.S. Army Research Laboratory, ATTN: AMSRL-HR-SB (Dr Knapik), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005-5425.

The 10-d median lethal concentration (LC50) was determined using the sum molar initial concentration of TNT, aminodinitrotoluenes (ADNTs), and diaminonitrotoluenes (DANTs), as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and collectively referred to as HPLC-TNT*. Despite expectations of higher toxicity in sandy sediment (Yaquina Bay [YB], OR, USA) compared to relatively fine-grained sediment (San Diego Bay [SDB], CA, USA), LC50 values were similar: 159 and 125 µmol/kg, for YB and SDB sediments, respectively. When expressed as the sum of TNT and all its degradation products (14C-TNT*), LC50s were approximately two times the corresponding LC50s determined by HPLC. The HPLC-TNT* fraction likely corresponds to the most bioavailable and toxic transformation products. The concentrations of 14C-TNT* in tissues were substantially higher than those for HPLC-TNT*, suggesting that compounds other than TNT and its major aminated transformation products were prevalent. Critical body residues were similar for exposures to SDB (11.7 µmol/kg) and YB sediments (39.4 µmol/kg), despite marked differences in the nature of compounds available for uptake in the exposure media. The critical body residues for E. estuarius are lower than those reported for other aquatic invertebrates (83--172 µmol/kg). Unlike observations for TNT, RDX was only loosely associated with SDB sediment, with near complete recovery of the parent compound by chemical analysis. Exposure to RDX did not result in significant mortality even at the highest measured sediment concentration of 10,800 µmol/kg dry weight, nor tissue concentrations as high as 96 µmol/kg wet weight. The lack of RDX lethal effects in this study is consistent with results reported for other invertebrate species.

Potential impacts of CL-20 as an emerging contaminant must be assessed before its use. The effects of CL-20, RDX, or HMX on adult survival and juvenile production by potworms Enchytraeus albidus and Enchytraeus crypticus were studied in three soil types, including Sassafras sandy loam (1.2% organic matter [OM], 11% clay, pH 5.5), an agricultural soil (42% OM, 1% clay, pH 8.2), and a composite agricultural-forest soil (23% OM, 2% clay, pH 7.9) by using ISO method 16387 (International Standard Organization, Geneva, Switzerland). Results showed that CL-20 was toxic to E. crypticus with median lethal concentration values for adult survival ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 mg/kg dry mass (DM) when using the three tested soils. In addition, CL-20 adversely affected juvenile production by both species in all soils tested, with median effective concentration (EC50) values ranging from 0.08 to 0.62 mg/kg DM. Enchytraeus crypticus and E. albidus were similarly sensitive to CL-20 exposure in the composite agricultural-forest soil, which supported reproduction by both species and enabled comparisons. Correlation analysis showed weak or no relationship overall among the soil properties and reproduction toxicity endpoints. Neither RDX nor HMX affected (p > 0.05) adult survival of either species below 658 and 918 mg/kg DM, respectively, indicating that CL-20 is more toxic to enchytraeids than RDX or HMX. Examination of data shows that CL-20 should be considered as a potential reproductive toxicant to soil invertebrates, and that safeguards should be considered to minimize the potential for release of CL-20 into the environment.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/10// VL - 24 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 12 EP - 12 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 07307268 AB - Energetic materials are employed in a wide range of commercial and military activities and often are released into the environment. Scientifically based ecological soil-screening levels (Eco-SSLs) are needed to identify contaminant explosive levels in soil that present an acceptable ecological risk. Insufficient information for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) to generate Eco-SSLs for soil invertebrates necessitated toxicity testing. We adapted the standardized Enchytraeid Reproduction Test and selected Enchytraeus crypticus for these studies. Tests were conducted in Sassafras sandy loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of TNT. Weathering and aging procedures for TNT amended to test soil were incorporated into the study design to produce toxicity data that better reflect the soil exposure conditions in the field compared with toxicity in freshly amended soils. This included exposing hydrated TNT-amended soils in open glass containers in the greenhouse to alternating wetting and drying cycles. Definitive tests showed that toxicity for E. crypticus adult survival and juvenile production was increased significantly in weathered and aged soil treatments compared with toxicity in freshly amended soil based on 95% confidence intervals. The median effect concentration and 20% effective concentration for reproduction were 98 and 77 mg/kg, respectively, for TNT freshly amended into soil and 48 and 37 mg/kg, respectively, for weathered and aged TNT soil treatments. These findings of increased toxicity to E. crypticus in weathered and aged TNT soil treatments compared with exposures in freshly amended soils show that future investigations should include a weathering and aging component to generate toxicity data that provide more complete information on ecotoxicological effects of energetic contaminants in soil.

Subject Subsets: Agricultural Biotechnology; Public Health N2 - New biosurety regulations and guidelines were implemented in 2003 because of increased concern for the safety and security of biological select agents and toxins (BSAT) that may be used as weapons of mass destruction. Biosurety is defined as the combination of security, biosafety, agent accountability, and personnel reliability needed to prevent unauthorized access to select agents of bioterrorism. These new regulations will lead to increased scrutiny of the use of select biological agents in registered research laboratories, but the regulations may have unintended effects on cost, progress, and perceptions in programs previously considered part of the academic research community. We review the history of biosurety, evolving guidelines, implementation of the regulations, and impacts at the lead research laboratory for medical biological defence for the Department of Defense.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Ebola and Marburg viruses are the sole members of the genus Filovirus in the family Filoviridae. There has been considerable media attention and fear generated by outbreaks of filoviruses because they can cause a severe viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) syndrome that has a rapid onset and high mortality. Although they are not naturally transmitted by aerosol, they are highly infectious as respirable particles under laboratory conditions. For these and other reasons, filoviruses are classified as category A biological weapons. However, there is very little data from animal studies with aerosolized filoviruses. Animal models of filovirus exposure are not well characterized, and there are discrepancies between these models and what has been observed in human outbreaks. Building on published results from aerosol studies, as well as a review of the history, epidemiology, and disease course of naturally occurring outbreaks, we offer an aerobiologist's perspective on the threat posed by aerosolized filoviruses.

Number of References: 20 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Selected species of mosquitoes and Ornithodoros ticks were evaluated for their potential to transmit Karshi and Langat (tick-borne encephalitis virus complex) viruses in the laboratory. Although there was no evidence of replication of Karshi virus in either of the two mosquito species tested [Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus or Culex pipiens], Karshi virus replicated in and was transmitted by all three species of Ornithodoros ticks tested (Ornithodoros parkeri, Ornithodoros sonrai, and Ornithodoros tartakovskyi). When inoculated with Karshi virus, 90% of Ornithodoros ticks (44/49) transmitted this virus by bite to suckling mice, and transmission continued to occur for at least 1 yr, the longest extrinsic incubation tested. After feeding on a suckling mouse with a viraemia of ~105 suckling mouse subcutaneous lethal dose50 units of Karshi virus per millilitre of blood, all three species of Ornithodoros tested became infected with and transmitted Karshi virus both trans-stadially and horizontally by bite to suckling mice. In addition, female O. tartakovskyi transmitted Karshi virus vertically to their progeny. In a continuation of a previous study, O. sonrai, orally exposed to Langat virus, were able to transmit this virus after >3 yr, the longest interval tested. Therefore, Ornithodoros spp. should be considered as potential vectors and as possible long-term maintenance hosts for Karshi virus and other members of the tick-borne encephalitis virus complex.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Dengue represents a major public health problem in Thailand, with all four viral serotypes co-circulating. Dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) is the least frequently sampled serotype, although one that is often associated with hemorrhagic fever during secondary infection. To determine the evolutionary forces shaping the genetic diversity of DENV-4, and particularly whether its changing prevalence could be attributed to instances of adaptive evolution in the viral genome, we undertook a large-scale molecular epidemiological analysis of DENV-4 in Bangkok, Thailand, using both E gene and complete coding region sequences. This analysis revealed extensive genetic diversity within a single locality at a single time, including the discovery of a new and divergent genotype of DENV-4, as well as a pattern of continual lineage turnover. We also recorded the highest average rate of evolutionary change for this serotype, at 1.072×10-3 nucleotide substitutions per site, per year. However, despite this abundant genetic variation, there was no evidence for adaptive evolution in any gene, codon, or lineage of DENV-4, with the highest rate of nonsynonymous substitution observed in NS2A. Consequently, the rapid turnover of DENV-4 lineages through time is most likely the consequence of a high rate of deleterious mutation in the viral genome coupled to seasonal fluctuations in the size of the vector population.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Antigen-induced cellular immunogenicity may vary between populations due to differences in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) diversity and, hence, may play a critical role in the protection afforded by vaccines. In the setting of two, phase I/II human immunodeficiency virus-1 vaccine trials of a recombinant canarypox prime, and boosting with either recombinant monomeric gp120 or oligomeric gp160, we assessed the association between specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I serotypes and the presence of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response measured by 51Cr-release assay [date not given]. HLA class I serotypes A11, A24, A33, B46, and B75 were the most common, present in 10% or more of 245 individuals studied. Forty of 187 (21.4%) Thai adults who received either ALVAC-HIV with gp120 or oligomeric gp160 or ALVAC alone had a precursor cytolytic CD8 T-cell response (pCTL). HLA-B44 was positively and significantly associated with a pCTL response (odds ratio 7.6, 95% CI: 2.7-21.2), whereas B46 was negatively associated but not robust when adjusted for multiple comparisons. Responses to Env proteins accounted for the majority (nine of 11) of pCTL activity among those persons with B44. This HLA class I serotype occurred in 9.4% of participants overall (including the placebo group), less commonly than what is reported from populations of European ancestry. These results strengthen the importance of assessing HLA class I distributions in conjunction with studies of vaccines designed to elicit cellular immunity in different populations.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background: Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a multi-system disorder that is characterized by headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, lassitude, and malaise. The syndrome is common in unacclimatized low altitude residents who rapidly ascend to terrestrial elevations exceeding 2500 m. AMS may be a manifestation of hypoxia-induced cerebral edema resulting, in part, from increased capillary permeability. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) may be involved in the pathogenesis of AMS, as these compounds are known to increase endothelial permeability. Methods: To test this hypothesis, we orally administered a CysLTs type-1 receptor antagonist (montelukast) to 11 subjects prior to and during exposure to high altitude (4,300 m) in a hypobaric chamber in a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover design. We measured the resulting prevalence and/or severity of AMS, plasma CysLTs levels and urinary CysLTE4, and associated physiological responses. Results: At 12 h exposure, AMS prevalence and symptom severity was lower (p=0.002) during montelukast administration compared with placebo, but not different at 22 h exposure. Plasma CysLTs and urinary LTE4 levels were not significantly elevated at 22 h exposure, nor did these CysLTs levels correlate with AMS severity. Compared with placebo, montelukast administration was not associated with any significant differences in physiologic measures at sea level or high altitude. Conclusions: These results do not support a role for the CysLTs mediating the early development of AMS through the CysLT-1 receptor.

Publication Type: Journal Article; Conference paper. Language: English. Number of References: 46 ref. Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Management of contaminated sediments has focused predominately on chemical agents, overshadowing risks posed by pathogenic microorganisms. Current accepted bacterial indicator methods do not provide defensible data with respect to the occurrence and types of pathogens in sediments. In an effort to adapt new defensible methods for assessing the risk posed by pathogens in sediments, we evaluated the sensitivity of a commercially available real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan®Escherichia coli 0157:H7 detection kit. The lower limit of linear quantitation of this assay was experimentally determined in sediment and sediment extract samples spiked with known amounts of E. coli 0157:H7 DNA. Parallel control experiments were conducted in pure water samples spiked with known amounts of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 DNA. The lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan® assay was 1000 colony forming units when interrogating 100 mg sediment samples. In contrast, the assay was 20-fold more sensitive with a lower limit of quantification of 50 colony forming units in pure water and sediment extract samples. These results suggest that the sensitivity of the TaqMan®Escherichia coli 0157:H7 detection kit is more dependent on recovery of the desired target from the sediment matrix than efficiency of polymerase chain reaction amplification. The potential human health risk associated with the lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan® assay in the spiked sediment samples was estimated using a Beta-Poisson dose-response model. Using this approach, lower limit values corresponded to exposure levels of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 that meet United States Environmental Protection Agency accepted illness rates for recreational swimming.

This study, which was conducted between April 2002 and May 2003, used active and passive surveillance to determine the current distribution of O. togoi along the Pacific Coast of Washington, USA. Small, but stable, populations of O. togoi exist in the northern San Juan Island region of Puget Sound. Geological formations in this region are conducive to rock holes and support populations of O. togoi. No members of O. togoi were found on the southwestern Washington coast, the coast of the Olympic Peninsula, or in the lower Puget Sound.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - This study was conducted as part of a field ecology study of arboviral activity in the Amazon Basin, Peru, to determine the taxonomy, frequency, seasonal, and vertical distributions of potential mosquito vectors. In addition, the relative efficiency of human-landing collections and dry ice-baited Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-type light traps was determined for collecting mosquitoes. A total of 70 species of mosquitoes from 14 genera were collected during June 1996-December 1997 at a forested site near Puerto Almendras, ~20 km west-southwest of Iquitos, Peru. Three species Psorophora (Janthinosoma) albigenu, Ochlerotatus (Ochlerotatus) fulvus, and Ochlerotatus (Ochlerotatus) serratus accounted for 70% of all mosquitoes captured in human-landing collections. Overall, biting activity occurred throughout the 24-h cycle but was higher during the daytime, primarily because of large populations of two day-biting species, P. albigenu and O. serratus. O. fulvus was active throughout the 24-h cycle but was more frequently collected during the evening. O. fulvus, P. albigenu, Culex (Melanoconion) pedroi, and a mixture of Culex (Melanoconion) vomerifer and Culex (Melanoconion) gnomatos, accounted for 73% of the mosquitoes captured during darkness by human collectors. In general, Ochlerotatus spp. and Psorophora spp. were more commonly captured in human-landing collections, whereas most Culex spp. were more frequently collected in the dry ice-baited CDC-type light traps. In general, mosquito populations were lowest from June through August when river levels were at their lowest. Two large population peaks occurred in November-December and in February-March as a result of "flood water" mosquito populations (e.g., P. albigenu). These data provide a better understanding of the taxonomy, population density, and seasonal distribution of potential mosquito vectors within the Amazon Basin region and allow for the development of appropriate vector and disease prevention strategies.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Malaria vaccine RTS,S combined with thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) and formulated with AS02A (RTS,S+TRAP/AS02A) is safe and immunogenic in adult humans and rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Here, RTS,S+TRAP/AS02A was administered on a 0-, 1-, and 3-month schedule to three cohorts of infant monkeys, along with adult comparators. Cohort 1 evaluated 1/5, 1/2, and full adult doses, with the first dose administration at one month of age; cohort 2 monkeys received full adult doses, with the first dose administration at one versus three months of age; and, cohort 3 compared infants gestated in mothers with or without previous RTS,S/AS02A immunization. Immunization site reactogenicity was mild. Some infants, including the phosphate-buffered saline only recipient, developed transient iron-deficiency anaemia, which is considered a result of repeated phlebotomies. All RTS,S+TRAP/AS02A regimens induced vigorous antibody responses that persisted through 12 weeks after the last vaccine dose. Modest lymphoproliferative and ELISPOT (interferon-γ and interleukin-5) responses, particularly to TRAP, approximated adult comparators. RTS,S+TRAP/AS02A was safe and well tolerated. Vigorous antibody production and modest, selective cell-mediated immune responses suggest that RTS,S+TRAP/AS02A may be immunogenic in human infants.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - We evaluated the performance of the VecTest Malaria Antigen Panel (V-MAP) assay for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax (variants 210 and 247) circumsporozoite protein in anopheline mosquitoes in Thailand. The V-MAP assay is a rapid, one-step procedure using a 'dipstick' wicking test strip. The circumsporozoite (CS) ELISA was used as the reference standard. Mosquitoes were collected from 2 houses per night on each of 4 successive nights each month (June 1999-June 2001). Mosquitoes evaluated in the study included field-collected specimens (n=930) and laboratory-reared specimens that had been fed on blood collected from patients with and without Plasmodium gametocytes (n=4110) or on cultured P. falciparum gametocytes (n=262). Field-collected mosquitoes were triturated individually or in pools of 2-5 and tested using 613 V-MAP assays. Laboratory-reared specimens were tested individually using 4372 V-MAP assays. Assay performance depended on the species of Plasmodium and the number of sporozoites used as the cut-off. For P. falciparum, optimal performance was achieved using a cut-off of 150 sporozoites (sensitivity=100%, specificity=99.2%, and accuracy=0.99). For P. vivax variant 210, optimal performance was also achieved using a cut-off of 150 sporozoites (sensitivity=94.8%, specificity=94.5%, and accuracy=0.95). We were unable to develop a standard-curve for the CS-ELISA using P. vivax variant 247 because of a lack of sporozoites; however, using a cut-off of 30 pg P. vivax 247 antigen (mosquitoes with less than this amount of antigen were considered negative), assay performance (sensitivity=94.3%, specificity=99.2%, and accuracy=0.99) was comparable to that achieved for P. falciparum and P. vivax 210. These results clearly demonstrate that the V-MAP assay performs at an acceptable level and offers practical advantages for field workers needing to make rapid surveys of malaria vectors.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The infectivity of Plasmodium-infected humans in western Thailand was estimated by feeding laboratory-reared Anopheles dirus Peyton and Harrison mosquitoes on venous blood placed in a membrane-feeding apparatus. Between May 2000 and November 2001, a total of 6494 blood films collected during an active malaria surveillance programme were checked by microscopy for the presence of Plasmodium parasites: 3.3, 4.5, and 0.1% of slides were P. falciparum (Pf)-, P. vivax (Pv)-, and P. malariae (Pm)-positive. Venous blood was collected from 70, 52, 6, and 4 individuals infected with Pf, Pv, Pm, and mixed Pf/Pv, respectively, with 167 uninfected individuals serving as negative controls. Only 10% (7/70), 13% (7/52), and 0% (0/6) of membrane feeds conducted on Pf-, Pv-, and Pm-infected blood yielded infected mosquitoes. One percent (2/167) of microscope-negative samples infected mosquitoes; however, both samples were subsequently determined to be Pf-positive by polymerase chain reaction. Gametocytes were observed in only 29% (4/14) of the infectious samples. All infections resulted in low oocyst loads (average of 1.2 oocysts per positive mosquito). Only 4.5% (10/222) of mosquitoes fed on the seven infectious Pf samples developed oocysts, whereas 2.9% (9/311) of mosquitoes fed on the seven infectious Pv samples developed oocysts. The probability of a mosquito becoming infected with Pf or Pv after a blood meal on a member of the human population in Kong Mong Tha was estimated to be 1 in 6700 and 1 in 5700, respectively.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The effectiveness of five mosquito traps at sampling anopheline mosquitoes was compared with landing/biting (L/B) collections in western Thailand. A preliminary survey of adult anopheline mosquitoes was conducted between September 1997 and June 1998. Traps evaluated included a CDC style light trap (CDC LT) with dry ice, the American Biophysics Corporation (ABC) standard light trap (ABC LT) with dry ice and octenol, the ABC counterflow geometry (CFG) trap with dry ice and octenol, the ABC mosquito magnet (MM) trap with octenol, and the Nicosia and Reinhardt Company Mosquito Attractor Device (N&R trap). Mosquito numbers captured in landing-biting collections were 5.2, 7.0, 7.3, 31.1, and 168.8 times greater than those collected in the ABC LT, MM, CDC LT, CFG, and N&R traps, respectively, for Anopheles minimus Theobald, the predominant malaria vector in the region. Similar results were obtained for the secondary malaria vectors Anopheles maculatus Theobald and Anopheles sawadwongporni Rattanarithikul & Green. Only Anopheles kochi Doenitz was collected in significantly greater numbers in the CDC LT, ABC LT, and MM traps compared with L/B collections. Although none of the traps were as effective as L/B collections, the ABC LT, MM, and CDC LT were the best alternatives to human bait for the collection of anopheline malaria vectors in Thailand.

N2 - A global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by a novel coronavirus began in March 2003. The rapid emergence of SARS and the substantial illness and death it caused, have made it a critical public health issue.

Although the ACE has explored the use of alternative dispute resolution in many areas, its initial use by the ACE, and certainly the ACE's most comprehensive experience, has been in the area of contract disputes. In contract claim litigation, the ACE has successfully used mini-trials and nonbinding arbitration, and it expects in the near future to use disputes resolution panels. The ACE has also successfully used alternative dispute resolution to resolve environmental disputes. It recently conducted a mini-trial between Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and the ACE involving the resolution of responsibility for contamination at a site in Arizona formerly used by the Navy during the 1950s. The mini-trial, held in late May 1988, was successfully concluded. KW - DISPUTE resolution (Law) KW - UNITED States KW - UNITED States. Congress. Senate. Judiciary Committee KW - UNITED States. Army.

Few studies have examined the use of superficial thermal modalities in conjunction with hamstring stretching. The purpose of this study was to determine if the application of a superficial heating or cooling modality, followed by static stretch, increased the efficacy of static stretching of the hamstring muscles. This study examined 12 male and 12 female subjects, ages 18-38. All subjects received each of the following treatments: heat followed by static stretch, cold followed by static stretch, and static stretch alone. Each treatment was separated by at least 1 week. Pre- and post-treatment measurements of hamstring length were obtained using the Active-Knee-Extension (AKE) test. The data were analyzed via a 2 x 3 analysis of variance experimental design. Results indicated that there was an increase in hamstring length regardless of stretch treatment used, with F(1,23) = 35.49, p < .001. However, no significant differences were detected among stretch treatments, F < 1.0, nor among interaction effects, F < 1.0. The results of this study suggest that adequate hamstring stretching can occur without the use of a superficial thermal modality. SN - 0190-6011 AD - U.S. Army, Fort Knox, KY U2 - PMID: 7787852.

The predisposing factors and pathophysiology of this condition, however, still are not fully understood. We present a case of a well-conditioned individual who developed a chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the left lower leg anterior compartment after a direct blow injury during a softball game. Trauma is not routinely implicated as a risk factor for chronic compartment syndrome, and the literature on this topic is scarce. We suggest that trauma, even low-velocity trauma, may precipitate a chronic exertional compartment syndrome. We review the literature regarding chronic exertional compartment syndromes preceded by trauma and offer explanations regarding the mechanisms by which a traumatic event may induce a chronic compartment syndrome.

The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. Methods: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. Results: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The ban was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively wit tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. Conclusions: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training.

The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. Methods: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. Results: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common lilac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. Conclusions: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

Methods: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. Results: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p ≤ 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p ≤ 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. Conclusions: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2,and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts.

Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs.

AB - For many organizations, leader development takes a back seat to mission requirements, even when the organization declares leader development is an important value. The 2001 Global Leadership Conference explored the misalignment between the value that organizations say they place on leader development and the leader development activities that they actually engage in and reinforce. There were several conclusions. First, leader development activities are critical to organizational success. Second, leader development programs must be grounded in a framework of developmental theories and principles. Third, an organizational culture that reinforces leader development is crucial for such initiatives to succeed. This theoretical article discusses the conditions necessary for successful leader development, the impediments that many organizations must address, and ways in which consulting psychologists can facilitate the process of creating and implementing a leader development program.

AB - This study extends the literature on personality and job performance through the use of random coefficient modeling to test the validity of the Big Five personality traits in predicting overall sales performance and sales performance trajectories--or systematic patterns of performance growth--in 2 samples of pharmaceutical sales representatives at maintenance and transitional job stages (K. R. Murphy, 1989). In the maintenance sample, conscientiousness and extraversion were positively associated with between-person differences in total sales, whereas only conscientiousness predicted performance growth. In the transitional sample, agreeableness and openness to experience predicted overall performance differences and performance trends. All effects remained significant with job tenure statistically controlled. Possible explanations for these findings are offered, and theoretical and practical implications of findings are discussed.

A 3-wave longitudinal study measured individuals' response to being transferred from 1 group to another within an organization. Individuals with a complex social identity, who identified with the larger organization as well as with their primary work group, had less anxiety and had an easier transition than did individuals with a less complex social identity. The results are discussed in terms of organizational benefits of employees' organization-level identity. Implications for consulting psychologists are outlined.

AB - Interhemispheric interaction in mathematically gifted (MG) adolescents, average-ability (AA) youth, and college students (CS) was examined by presenting hierarchical letter pairs in 3 viewing conditions: (a) unilaterally to the right hemisphere (RH), (b) unilaterally to the left hemisphere (LH), or (c) bilaterally, with 1 member of the pair presented to each hemisphere simultaneously. Participants made global-local, match-no-match judgments. For the AA and CS, the LH was faster for local matches and the RH for global matches. The MG showed no hemispheric differences. Also, AA and CS were slower on cooperative compared with unilateral trials, whereas the MG showed the opposite pattern. These results suggest that enhanced interhemispheric interaction is a unique functional characteristic of the MG brain. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

Identifying SA requirements for specific jobs is a necessary first step in accurately assessing SA, developing training programs to enhance SA skills, and evaluating the impact of new technology on SA. This research identified the SA requirements for infantry small unit leaders. Six highly experienced infantry subject matter experts were given semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The resulting SA requirements hierarchy contained 7 primary goals and multiple subgoals. Situation awareness requirements are job and mission specific.

SN - 16103653 AB - U.S. laws require that contaminant bioaccumulation potential be evaluated before dredged material can be recycled. Simple fugacity models, e.g. organic contaminant aqueous partition coefficient ( K oc)-derived theoretical bioaccumulation potential, are commonly used to estimate the partitioning of hydrophobic organic contaminants between sediment organic matter and organism lipid. K oc-derived models, with or without the addition of a soot carbon term, did not accurately or consistently predict total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorobiphenyls partitioning of eight sediments from ongoing dredging operations onto C 18-coated filter paper. These models also failed to predict the partitioning of individual PAHs from these eight sediments. These data underscore the trade-offs between the ease of using simple models and the uncertainty of predicted partitioning values.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The evolution of dengue virus (DENV) is characterized by phylogenetic trees that have a strong temporal structure punctuated by dramatic changes in clade frequency. To determine the cause of these large-scale phylogenetic patterns, we examined the evolutionary history of DENV serotype 1 (DENV-1) and DENV-3 in Thailand, where gene sequence and epidemiological data are relatively abundant over a 30-year period. We found evidence for the turnover of viral clades in both serotypes, most notably in DENV-1, where a major clade replacement event took place in genotype I during the mid-1990s. Further, when this clade replacement event was placed in the context of changes in serotype prevalence in Thailand, a striking pattern emerged; an increase in DENV-1 clade diversity was associated with an increase in the abundance of this serotype and a concomitant decrease in DENV-4 prevalence, while clade replacement was associated with a decline in DENV-1 prevalence and a rise of DENV-4. We postulate that intraserotypic genetic diversification proceeds at times of relative serotype abundance and that replacement events can result from differential susceptibility to cross-reactive immune responses.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - A rapid and reliable diagnostic assay for acute hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is needed. We evaluated a rapid, immunochromatographic assay for IgM antibodies to HEV (ASSURETM HEV IgM Rapid Test) using acute-phase HEV samples (n=200) from Indonesia and Nepal and convalescent-phase HEV samples (n=70) from Nepal. Blood donors in Thailand (n=100), individuals with hepatitis A (n=80), hepatitis B (n=45), and hepatitis C (n=50) in Thailand and Nepal, acute-phase sera of individuals with Epstein-Barr virus infection (n=20), and rheumatoid factor-positive blood (n=26) served as negative controls. The assay had a sensitivity of 93% (95% confidence interval [CI]=88.5-96.1%) and a specificity of 99.7% (95% CI=98.3-100%). The positive and negative predictive values were 99.5% (95% CI=97.1-100%) and 95.8% (95% CI=93.1-97.7%), respectively. These results suggest that this assay is a sensitive and specific tool for the rapid diagnosis of acute HEV infection.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The current revolution in biology, especially genomics and proteomics, has identified genes encoding for new biological toxins and superantigens. There is growing concern within both scientific defence and intelligence communities that this constitutes a serious potential for misuse as offensive biological weapons. Currently, sequences of close to 50 microbial genomes have been completed and the sequences of more than 100 genomes should be completed within the next 2-5 years. These sequences would encode a collection of >200 000 predicted coding sequences which would code for important functional proteins, as well as potential new biological toxins and superantigens. Completed sequences of microbial genomes would provide an excellent source to study the physiology and evolution of microbial species and expand our ability to better assign functions to the newly predicted coding sequences. Comparative analysis of sequences for multiple genomes would provide substantially more information on the emerging and reemerging new biological toxins and superantigens, and this information would be very valuable in the discovery of new signature sequences to enhance biodetection, protection and treatment. A model comparative analysis using the complete genome sequence of an M1 strain of Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococci (GAS) which is a strict human pathogen with no other known reservoir host, is discussed.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Veterinary Science; Tropical Diseases N2 - As part of a comprehensive study on the ecology of arthropod-borne viruses in the Amazon Basin region of Peru, we assayed 539 694 mosquitoes captured in Loreto Department, Peru, for arboviruses. Mosquitoes were captured either by dry ice-baited miniature light traps or with aspirators while mosquitoes were landing on human collectors, identified to species, and later tested on Vero cells for virus. In total, 164 virus isolations were made and included members of the Alphavirus (eastern equine encephalomyelitis, Trocara, Una, Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis, and western equine encephalomyelitis viruses), Flavivirus (Ilheus and St. Louis encephalitis), and Orthobunyavirus (Caraparu, Itaqui, Mirim, Murutucu, and Wyeomyia viruses) genera. In addition, several viruses distinct from the above-mentioned genera were identified to the serogroup level. Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus was associated primarily with Culex pedroi Sirivanakarn & Belkin, whereas Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus was associated primarily with Culex gnomatos Sallum, Huchings & Ferreira. Most isolations of Ilheus virus were made from Psorophora ferox (Von Humboldt). Although species of the Culex subgenus Melanoconion accounted for only 45% of the mosquitoes collected, 85% of the virus isolations were made from this subgenus. Knowledge of the viruses that are being transmitted in the Amazon Basin region of Peru will enable the development of more effective diagnostic assays, more efficient and rapid diagnoses of clinical illnesses caused by these pathogens, risk analysis for military/civilian operations, and development of potential disease control measures.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Gamma phage specifically lyses vegetative cells of Bacillus anthracis and serves as part of the basis for identification of isolates from agar cultures. We report our study to standardize gamma phage production and preparation and to validate the assay for routine use. Unstable phage preparations were largely reduced through propagation of phage on blood agar cultures of the avirulent B. anthracis strain CDC684 and were adequately stable for extended storage beyond 1 to 2 years at 4°C, provided that the preparation initially gave rise to clearly discernible plaques (macroplaques, 5 to 10 mm in diameter) on dilution at 1:8 or greater during potency testing with the Sterne strain or its equivalent. The primary intent of the assay was to test nonhemolytic, ground-glass-appearing bacterial B. anthracis-like colonies arising from culture of clinical or nonclinical samples on 5% sheep blood agar. Specifically, the assay was designed to show clear or primarily clear circular zones of lysis on bacterial lawns at the site of gamma phage inoculation after incubation at 35°C±2°C for 20 h. When tested with 51 B. anthracis strains and 49 similar non-B. anthracis Bacillus species, the analytical specificity was >95%, a value that is intentionally low because our study design included two rare nonsusceptible B. anthracis strains as well as a rare susceptible non-B. anthracis strain, B. cereus ATCC 4342. Repeatability, day-to-day precision, and analyst-to-analyst precision were superior. The assay was rugged to variations among phage lots, phage concentration, amounts of bacterial inoculum, and incubation times as short as 6 to 8 h. System suitability evaluation showed improved robustness when bacterial lawns were tested with high- and low-density inoculum using the first and second quadrants of a serial four-quadrant streak on 5% sheep blood agar plates.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases N2 - Recently, there have been substantial developments in the understanding of Ebola hemorrhagic fever pathogenesis, but there are still major gaps. These infections occur in underdeveloped areas of the world, and much of our knowledge of naturally occurring disease is derived from sporadic outbreaks that occurred decades in the past. Recently conducted laboratory animal studies have provided insight into Ebola pathogenesis and may help guide clinical investigations of disease using contemporary methodologies that were not available previously. A better understanding of the relevant host and viral factors that influence clinical and virologic outcome will be critical to our ability to combat this aggressive pathogen. This article reviews the most relevant information relating to the postulated pathogenesis of this disease, focusing on the role of the endothelium in contributing to the coagulation disorders that characterize Ebola hemorrhagic fever in primates. Some of the remaining and key unanswered questions relating to the role of the vascular system in the pathogenesis of this disease, that need to be addressed in further research, are highlighted.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Ebola virus (EBOV)-like particles (eVLP), composed of the EBOV glycoprotein and matrix viral protein (VP)40 with a lipid membrane, are a highly efficacious method of immunization against EBOV infection. The exact requirements for immunity against EBOV infection are poorly defined at this time. The goal of this work was to determine the requirements for EBOV immunity following eVLP vaccination. Vaccination of BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice with eVLPs in conjunction with QS-21 adjuvant resulted in mixed IgG subclass responses, a Th1-like memory cytokine response, and protection from lethal EBOV challenge. Further, this vaccination schedule led to the generation of both CD4+ and CD8+ IFN-γ+ T cells recognizing specific peptides within glycoprotein and VP40. The transfer of both serum and splenocytes, but not serum or splenocytes alone, from eVLP-vaccinated mice conferred protection against lethal EBOV infection in these studies. B cells were required for eVLP-mediated immunity to EBOV because B cell-deficient mice vaccinated with eVLPs were not protected from lethal EBOV challenge. We also found that CD8+, but not CD4+, T cells are absolutely required for eVLP-mediated protection against EBOV infection. Further, eVLP-induced protective mechanisms were perforin-independent, but IFN-γ-dependent. Taken together, both EBOV-specific humoral and cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses are critical to mediate protection against filoviruses following eVLP vaccination.

To examine the effect of saline concentration in larval water on mosquito development, the survival rates for 2 container-breeding mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus, and a salt marsh mosquito, Ochlerotatus taeniorhynthus, when reared in water containing saline water that ranged from fresh water to approximately those of ocean water were determined. A. aegypti and A. abopictus survived best in fresh water and none survived to the adult stage when reared in water containing ≥2% sea salts. In contrast, O. taeniorhynchus larvae survived well in a variety of salt concentrations and had essentially identical survival rates when reared in fresh water or water containing 1, 2 or 3% sea salts, but did not fare well when reared in water containing 4% sea salts.

Subject Subsets: Poultry; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Animal Nutrition N2 - High-melting explosive (HMX; octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) is a widely utilized explosive component of munitions used by the military. Consequently, production and use through testing and training at military installations has resulted in deposition of HMX in soil. Since these areas are often used by birds, the oral toxicity of HMX exposure to northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) was evaluated. Attempts to determine the acute lethal dose were unsuccessful. Initially, 8 birds (1 male/1 female per dose group) were orally dosed at levels ranging from 125 to 2125 mg HMX/kg body weight. A single death at the midrange resulted in subsequent trials of oral doses up to 10 760 mg/kg body weight. Only a single death occurred at 7173 mg/kg. A subsequent 28-d feeding study was then conducted to evaluate the potential for toxicity resulting from repetitive oral exposures. Northern bobwhite were exposed to concentrations of HMX in feed of either 10000, 1000, 100, or 0 mg/kg. These exposures resulted in a clear concentration-related reduction in feed consumption and body mass. Reductions in egg production in females were correlated with changes in body mass and feed consumption. Other physiological indicators were consistent with a considerable reduction in feed intake. These results suggest that HMX concentration is responsible for intense feed aversion behavior and thus not likely a factor that would appreciably contribute to risk for wild birds at military ranges.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Public Health N2 - Ebola virus (EBOV), an emerging pathogen, is the causative agent of a rapidly progressive hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates. There are currently no approved vaccines or treatments available for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Standard plaque assays are currently the only reliable techniques for enumerating the virus. Effective drug-discovery screening as well as target identification and validation require simple and more rapid detection methods. This report describes the development of a rapid ELISA that measures virus release with high sensitivity. This assay detects both Ebola virus and EBOV-like particles (VLPs) directly from cell-culture supernatants with the VP40 matrix protein serving as antigen. Using this assay, the contribution of the EBOV nucleocapsid (NC) proteins in VLP release was determined. These findings indicate that a combination of NC proteins together with the envelope components is optimal for VLP formation and release, a finding that is important for vaccination with Ebola VLPs. Furthermore, this assay can be used in surrogate models in non-biocontainment environment, facilitating both basic research on the mechanism of EBOV assembly and budding as well as drug-discovery research.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Two live, attenuated strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE), IE1150K and V3526, were administered to macaques to determine if they could elicit protection against an aerosol challenge with virulent VEE virus of the IE variety (VEEV-IE). These viruses were rescued from full-length cDNA clones of 68U201 (VEEV-IE variety) and Trinidad donkey (VEEV-IA/B variety), respectively, and both have a furin cleavage site deletion mutation and a second-site resuscitating mutation. Both vaccines elicited neutralizing antibodies to viruses of the homologous variety but not to viruses of the heterologous variety. Eight weeks after vaccination, the macaques were challenged by aerosol exposure to virulent 68U201. Macaques vaccinated with V3526 were protected as well as macaques inoculated with IE1009, the wild-type infectious clone of 68U201. However, IE1150K failed to significantly protect macaques relative to controls. V3526 has now been shown to protect macaques against both IA/B [Pratt WD, Davis NL, Johnston RE, Smith JF.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Phagocytosis of inhaled Bacillus anthracis spores and subsequent trafficking to lymph nodes are decisive events in the progression of inhalational anthrax because they initiate germination and dissemination of spores. Found in high frequency throughout the respiratory track, dendritic cells (DCs) routinely take up foreign particles and migrate to lymph nodes. However, the participation of DCs in phagocytosis and dissemination of spores has not been investigated previously. We found that human DCs readily engulfed fully pathogenic Ames and attenuated B. anthracis spores predominately by coiling phagocytosis. Spores provoked a loss of tissue-retaining chemokine receptors (CCR2, CCR5) with a concurrent increase in lymph node homing receptors (CCR7, CD11c) on the membrane of DCs. After spore infection, immature DCs displayed a mature phenotype (CD83bright, HLA-DRbright, CD80bright, CD86bright, CD40bright) and enhanced costimulatory activity. Surprisingly, spores activated the MAPK cascade (ERK, p38) within 30 min and stimulated expression of several inflammatory response genes by 2 h. MAPK signaling was extinguished by 6 h infection, and there was a dramatic reduction of secreted TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in the absence of DC death. This corresponded temporally with enzymatic cleavage of proximal MAPK signaling proteins (MEK-1, MEK-3, and MAP kinase kinase-4) and may indicate activity of anthrax lethal toxin. Taken together, these results suggest that B. anthracis may exploit DCs to facilitate infection.

AB - This article presents an analysis of a failed culture change initiative and the derailment of a senior leader. Five lessons are drawn from this situation and are presented in a way that can be easily applied by consulting psychologists to their practice. These lessons include selecting leaders who have an insider's understanding of the organization, demonstrating the need for change, empowering subordinates to participate in the change process, balancing stakeholder issues, and developing leaders at senior levels. These lessons, although appearing obvious, do require thought and planning to implement. As process experts, consulting psychologists can help executives plan and execute a successful change initiative and avoid having to learn these lessons the hard way.

AB - The present study integrates role theory, social exchange, organizational citizenship, and climate research to suggest that employees will reciprocate implied obligations of leadership-based social exchange (e.g., leader-member exchange [LMX]) by expanding their role and behaving in ways consistent with contextual behavioral expectations (e.g., work group climate). Using safety climate as an exemplar, the authors found that the relationship between LMX and subordinate safety citizenship role definitions was moderated by safety climate. In summary, high-quality LMX relationships resulted in expanded safety citizenship role definitions when there was a positive safety climate and there was no such expansion under less positive safety climates. The authors also found that safety citizenship role definitions were significantly related to safety citizenship behavior. Implications for both social exchange theory and safety research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

Copyright Statement: Public Domain AB - Researchers have rarely examined stressful environments and psychological characteristics as predictors of driving behavior in the same study. The authors hypothesized that (a) safer drivers, more accurately assess physical and emotional traffic hazards and (b) stress and emotional states elevate crash risk. The hypotheses were evaluated with procedural and declarative tacit driving knowledge tests requiring assessment of emotional and contextual hazards and with accident reports describing crash antecedents, including stressful events and environmental conditions. Analyses identified separate driving knowledge factors corresponding to emotional and contextual hazards that were significantly related to the crash criteria. Accident report analyses show that stress significantly elevates at-fault crash risk. The results demonstrate the importance of experiential knowledge acquired without instruction (procedural or tacit knowledge) and provide safety recommendations.

One hundred and eighty-four officers, representing 7 different geographical locations, were placed in blind test groups to discern the effect of a "good" and "bad" DA Photo in a mock military promotion board. The significant finding was that a DA Photo judged to be good by a panel of Army Personnel Command Officers did not predict an increase or decrease in a promotion board score; however, a DA Photo judged to be bad by the same panel of officers can be a predictor of a decrease in overall promotion board score.

AB - Based on the work of Meyer and Allen (1997),we derived a set of abbreviated scales to measure affective and continuance organizational commitment and conducted an extensive examination of the factor structure and reliability of these scales. The relation of these 2 abbreviated scales of organizational commitment to critical organizational outcomes was examined and tested. Results showed that affective and continuance commitment combined to influence subsequent soldier performance on job knowledge tests in opposite ways, suggesting a causal link between commitment and performance. Relations between affective and continuance commitment combinations and soldier-reported retention intentions, morale, and readiness were also explored. Scales developed to measure spouse commitment to the Army showed a factor structure that was comparable to that of soldiers and consistent with the dimensions of affective and continuance commitment.

Specifically, gender, ethnicity, branch of the Army, and perceptions of tokenism (e.g., isolation and stereotyping) were examined as antecedents of organizational commitment. Peer-rated leadership performance served as the outcome measure of affective (AC), continuance (CC), and normative commitment (NC). Findings indicated ethnic differences in AC and CC, gender differences in CC, and Army branch differences in AC and NC. Perceived tokenism was associated with lower levels of AC and NC and higher levels of CC. Finally, higher levels of AC and NC predicted higher leadership evaluations, whereas higher levels of CC were associated with lower leadership evaluations.

AB - Contemporary investigations of workplace commitment include research on commitment components and commitment to multiple, and sometimes nested, work units. Research on commitment within the hierarchical military structure may be particularly reflective of these perspectives. Affective commitment to 2 nested organizational units (Special Operations Forces and the military) was hypothesized to be distinguishable from each another and from military continuance commitment. Further, a model portraying the hypothesized relations between satisfaction and affective commitment for the 2 organizational units and career intentions was examined. Special Operations personnel (N=3,968) from 3 service branches completed satisfaction and career intentions items in addition to modified versions (Gade, Tiggle, & Schumm, 2003/this issue) of the Meyer and Allen (1984) commitment scales. Results of the research supported the distinction between the commitment scales and provided support for the model. Implications for operational environments and future research are discussed.

AB - Introduces the 5 articles in this special edition pertaining to the definition and exploration of organizational commitment in the military. It is observed that most military researchers who have attempted to measure organizational commitment have done so on an ad hoc basis, preferring to invent new items and scales rather than incorporate well-established measures that have strong theoretical underpinnings. The editor states that the aim of this special issue Military Psychology is to reverse this trend by bringing military organizational commitment research into the scientific mainstream in ways that will prove useful to military services and advance organizational commitment theory and knowledge. The potential practical importance of measuring organizational commitment and maintaining a healthy concern for ensuring that this measurement is well-grounded in organizational commitment theory has been recognized in independent research efforts. The editor notes that it is to these ends that this special issue is dedicated.

AB - This research applied the construct equivalence approach for deriving and empirically validating analog measures based on data not originally designed to measure the theoretical constructs of interest. In this application, subject matter experts agreed on questionnaire items from a longitudinal database that fit Meyer and Allen's (1991) definitions of affective and continuance commitment. Questionnaires suitable for inclusion of these items and the original Meyer and Allen (1984) items were administered to a test sample of Army officers (N=404). Analyses supported use of the selected items as analog scales of affective and continuance commitment in that both the selected and original items yielded similar factor structures and similar relations with officer rank and career intentions. Results for the analog items were replicated with another officer sample (N=863).

AB - Fifty-one patients with 54 meniscal repairs were evaluated with second-look arthroscopy and physical examination at an average of 11 months (range, 4 to 30) after repair. Thirty-five of 54 repairs (65%) were completely healed and 9 repairs were incompletely healed, for an overall satisfactory healing rate of 81% (44 of 54 repairs). Ten repairs did not heal (19%). An anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with meniscal repair increased meniscal healing -- 36 of 40 (90%) healed versus 8 of 14 (57%) in cruciate stable knees. Rim width was a significant factor; no meniscal repair with a rim width greater than 4 mm healed. Meniscal repair with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in patients less than 30 years old and performed within 19 weeks of injury resulted in improved healing rates. In patients with simultaneous meniscal repair and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, a higher rate of complete healing (16 of 19 repairs, 84%) was observed after the conservative rehabilitation program. Those who followed the aggressive program had a complete healing rate of 63% (12 of 19 repairs). Satisfactory healing (complete plus incomplete arthroscopic healing) was similar for both groups, 89% and 90%, respectively.

AB - A prospective study evaluating nonoperative treatment versus arthroscopic Bankart suture repair for acute, initial dislocation of the shoulder was undertaken in young athletes. All patients met the following criteria: 1) sustained an acute first-time traumatic anterior dislocation, 2) no history of impingement or occult subluxation, 3) the dislocation required a manual reduction, and 4) no concomitant neurologic injury. Thirty-six athletes (average age, 20 years) met the criteria for inclusion. Group I patients were immobilized for 1 month followed by rehabilitation; they were allowed full activity at 4 months. Group II patients underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair followed by the same protocol as Group I. Group I consisted of 15 athletes. Twelve patients (80%) developed recurrent instability; 7 of the 12 have required open Bankart repair for recurrent instability. Group II consisted of 21 patients; 18 patients (86%) had no recurrent instability at last followup (average, 32 months; range, 15 to 45) (P=0.001). One patient in Group II has required a subsequent open Bankart repair to treat symptomatic recurrence (P=0.005). In this study, arthroscopic Bankart repair significantly reduced the recurrence rate in young athletes who sustained an acute, initial anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

The bridge was made with 94% recycled plastic material, primarily recycled high-density polyethylene. An M1 Abrams battle tank and a loaded dump truck were used as a live load to determine the appropriate military load classification (MLC) and civilian load rating for the bridge superstructure. The bridge was designed to support the M1 Abrams battle tank with a gross weight of 63.5 tones to replace a dilapidated timber bridge that, because of its condition, was limited to a maximum load of 4.26 tones. A finite element analysis (FEA) of the entire superstructure based on the load test results indicated that the bridge exceeded design specifications and performed in a normal linear–elastic manner with relatively small viscoelastic responses for all loads.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 301 EP - 315 SN - 15287394 AB - Fish gill is the site for many crucial physiological functions. It is among the first sites of xenobiotic exposure, and gill histopathological alterations may be detected soon after toxicant exposure. Silver (Ag) is one of the most toxic metals to aquatic organisms mainly due to its ability to disrupt ionic regulation. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of ionic and nanoscale Ag on fathead minnow gills by examining gill histology and Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity. Fathead minnows were exposed to two measured concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3: 1.3 or 3.7 μg/L as Ag+), citrate silver nanoparticles (citrate-AgNP: 15 or 39 μg/L), and polyvinylpyrrolidone-AgNP (PVP-AgNP) (AgNP: 11 or 50 μg/L). Circulatory disturbances were the most prevalent gill alterations detected and were significantly increased in all Ag treatment groups compared to control. AgNO3(1.3 μg/L) was the only treatment that significantly elevated the number of total mucous goblet cells present. In all other Ag treatments, the percent of degenerated goblet cells was significantly increased compared to control. When the sum of all histopathological abnormalities (weighted index) was calculated, all Ag groups displayed a significantly higher index, with citrate-AgNP having the highest toxicity (index of 10 ± 0.32 versus 2.4 ± 0.6 in controls). Gill Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity was decreased by Ag. These results indicated that both AgNO3and AgNP created similar disruptions in gill structure and ionic regulation, possibly due to the ionic Ag portion of each treatment.

A 14-day oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats was conducted with NTO in polyethylene glycol -200 by gavage at doses of 0, 250, 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 mg/kg-d. Body mass and food consumption decreased in males (2000 mg/kg-d), and testes mass was reduced at doses of 500 mg/kg-d and greater. Based on the findings in the 14-day study, a 90-day study was conducted at doses of 0, 30, 100, 315, or 1000 mg/kg-d NTO. There was no effect on food consumption, body mass, or neurobehavioral parameters. Males in the 315 and 1000 mg/kg-d groups had reduced testes mass with associated tubular degeneration and atrophy. The testicular effects were the most sensitive adverse effect and were used to derive a benchmark dose (BMD) of 70 mg/kg-d with a 10% effect level (BMDL10) of 40 mg/kg-d.

In support of this goal, new approaches--generally called "wetlands mitigation banking"--have been introduced as a way for securing ecologically viable credits. Often presented as an example of how market-based policies can work for the environment, Leonard Shabman and Paul Scodari find in their review that regulatory restrictions are so restricted that it cannot legitimately be called a market-based program. They conclude that market-like environmental policies are rare, and what appears to be a market-like policy may not be that at all.

The research questions follow: RQ!) What are the optimal capabilities of a FVL MEDEVAC platform given an Afghanistan-like scenario and parameters associated with the treatment/ground evacuation capabilities in that theater?; RQ2) What are the MEDEVAC trade-off considerations associated with different aircraft engines operating under variable conditions?; RQ3) How does the additional weight of weaponizing the current MEDEVAC fleet affect range, coverage radius, and response time? We address RQ1 using discrete-event simulation based partially on qualitative assessments from the field, while RQ2 and RQ3 are based on deterministic analysis. Our results confirm previous findings that travel speeds in excess of 250 knots and ranges in excess of 300 nautical miles are advisable for the FVL platform design, thereby reducing the medical footprint in stability operations. We recommend a specific course of action regarding a potential engine bridging strategy based on deterministic analysis of endurance and altitude, and we suggest that the weaponization of the FVL MEDEVAC aircraft will have an adverse effect on coverage capability.

A total of 156 soldiers participated and completed a self-administered survey answering questions about product acceptability, packaging, and ease of use. Results of the study indicated that soldiers found stick formulations, with and without DEET, to be acceptable for use (62.9% and 83.7%, respectively). This data will be used by the Program Management Office at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity to support a request to the Armed Forces Pest Management Board to assign a National Stock Number.

Issue Publication Date: 2002. AB - Discusses the use of bioscavengers (BS) as an approach to reduce the in vivo toxicity of chemical warfare nerve agents (NAs). It is argued that for a BS to be an improvement in treatment, it should: (1) have no or minimal behavioral or physiological side effects; (2) provide protection against 1 or more NAs up to 5 times the median lethal dose, and (3) reduce or eliminate any behavioral or physiological side effects associated with the fielded therapy. Studies with equine or human butyrylcholinesterase or fetal bovine serum acetylcholinesterase are reviewed. Results from these studies show that none of these scavengers exhibit behavioral side effects when administered to rats or monkeys. These 3 BS as well as carboxylesterase are each capable of providing protection depending on the BS and the test species. These results are in contrast to the prolonged behavioral incapacitation experienced by animals pretreated with pyridostigmine and then exposed to the same dose of NA followed by the standard therapy. It is stated that these results offer evidence for the value of this approach to afford protection against NA poisoning with a virtual absence of behavioral side effects.

AB - Notes that the ability of vesicant agents to produce debilitating cutaneous blisters, respiratory problems, acute visual impairment, or all of these, is well recognized. However, their psychological impact on members of the armed forces who are, or who believe they are, at risk of exposure to agents such as mustard gas are much less understood. It is stated that better understanding of the clinical ramifications of exposure, medical assistance that can be given to mustard gas victims, and the long-term sequelae to which casualties might be subject can go a long way toward mitigating warfighter concerns.

Methodology: Empirical Study. References Available: Y. Page Count: 22. Issue Publication Date: 2002. AB - Although cohesion is frequently believed to improve performance in military units, few studies have sought to determine what factors contribute to its formation. In this study, a quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate the effects of several factors on small-unit cohesion in 162 Norwegian Navy officer cadets (aged 20-31 yrs). Cohesion levels in squad-size units were assessed before and after an intensive, week-long sustained operations exercise. Factors found to contribute to increased cohesion levels included the experience of the stressful exercise itself and previous familiarity with other team members. Positive effects on cohesion were also found for personality hardiness and small-unit leadership, suggesting that how stressful experiences get interpreted at the individual and the group levels also influence unit cohesion. Taken together, these findings suggest that cohesion can be increased in small military units by maximizing member familiarity within the units and by providing challenging tasks within an organizational and leadership climate that emphasizes the overall value and positive meaning of such experiences.

Copyright Statement: American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry AB - Heavy alcohol use in college students is a serious health risk. It is unclear how cultural variables impact alcohol use in Hispanic college populations. Here, the relationships between gender, bicultural identity, familism, and adherence to traditional gender roles with heavy episodic drinking (HED) in a Hispanic college sample are assessed. Participants, 80 males and 80 females, were asked to complete a questionnaire packet, which assessed demographic information, as well as measures designed to rate drinking amount and frequency, bicultural integration, familism, and traditional gender role adherence. Average age of the sample was 19.9 years (SD = 3.05), in which the majority of participants were classified as either Freshmen or Sophomores (88.8%). Overall, 47.5% of participants reported engaging in HED, with 51% of men and 44% of women reporting HED. Univariate analyses along with logistic regression were utilized to assess possible differences and correlates of HED. Neither individual predictors nor the overall model were statistically significant. These findings suggest the need for continued assessment of HED in Hispanic college students using other culturally based constructs, as well as psychosocial factors that are found to predict heavy drinking in other ethnocultural college-aged students.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - The purpose of this observational, cross-sectional study was to assess psychosocial characteristics and intrinsic motivation in a convenience sample of Army soldiers with different mental skills profiles. Participants were recruited immediately before or immediately following regular training activities. Anonymous surveys were completed and collected in the training area. Instruments used in this study included the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool-3 Revised for Soldiers; Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale; Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21; University of California, Los Angeles, Loneliness Scale; Beck Hopelessness Scale; Intrinsic Motivation Inventory; and an anger measure. Soldiers with strong mental skill profiles were more intrinsically motivated and psychosocially healthier than their peers with weaker mental skill profiles. It is recommended that a proactive approach to psychological health promotion practices in soldiers be sought rather than reactive treatment plans to psychological sequelae. Future research must examine the role of psychosocial fitness and adaptability to enhance mental skills fitness.

The use of personas as design tools is becoming more widespread as researchers and practitioners discover its benefits. This paper presents an empirical study comparing the performance of existing qualitative and quantitative clustering techniques for the task of identifying personas and grouping system users into those personas. A method based on Factor (Principal Components) Analysis performs better than two other methods which use Latent Semantic Analysis and Cluster Analysis as measured by similarity to expert manually defined clusters.

AB - When we first volunteered to do the survey, we were concerned about the stress on our soldiers and their families but had to rely on anecdotal evidence and our gut feel to sense how we were doing. We had Equal Opportunity and Inspector General climate surveys, but they did not address the issues that we now know are associated with the stress from combat, especially oft-repeated deployments to combat. We did not know what to expect and were pleased with the results. Specifically, these Mental Health Advisory Team surveys became invaluable to us for two reasons. First, they gave us a brutally clear read on how our soldiers and families were weathering the stress of combat. The surveys were very frank and at times hurtful to our pride because they exposed both our strengths and weaknesses. The survey then showed us we were not going to fix these problems, because these same battle-stressed soldiers either could not gain access to behavioral medical care or feared being stigmatized if they did succeed and received this behavioral health care. The survey then showed us we were not going to fix these problems, because these same battle-stressed soldiers either could not gain access to behavioral medical care or feared being stigmatized if they did succeed and received this behavioral health care.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - This editorial briefly discusses acupuncture as a first-line treatment for acute pain management. The current authors note that acupuncture has a long history in traditional medicine, including strong evidence for effective pain management. The question on everyone's mind should be 'what is holding us back from providing this alternative treatment today when it is so desperately needed?' An expected risk of moving acupuncture treatment into mainstream use is the confusion that will result from misuse. The standard of practice has no national regulating body and many exuberant users are more than willing to broaden the technique and the applications well beyond what might be considered tested and proven approaches.

Koistinen (2012). State of War is the fifth and final volume of this opus, and it returns him to where he began: the growth of the what President Dwight Eisenhower named the military–industrial complex in the years after World War II. He has come full circle in more ways than one, which is not exactly a good thing for the final product. The middle three volumes of Koistinen’s series, those covering the years between 1865 and 1945, represented his main effort in terms of research and production. He based those works, each weighing in at between 440 and 672 pages, on extensive primary research and thorough and largely dispassionate analysis. State of War comes in at a slim 313 pages, is based only on secondary resources, and is argumentative past the point of contentiousness to full-on polemic. Approach State of War with caution. It has its uses, but it is an unfortunately unbalanced and incomplete coda to an otherwise magnificent series on American political economy for war.

On five separate occasions, 15 volunteers exercised to voluntary endpoint on a treadmill at fixed speeds and grades chosen to elicit 85% of maximal aerobic capacity for an unencumbered condition. Exercise performance time was recorded at the cessation of each test. Results showed that performance time decreased linearly (R2 = 0.79; p<0.001) with increased resistances, and no threshold value below which expiratory resistance has no impact on performance was found. Average oxygen consumption rates and minute ventilation also decreased linearly with increased expiratory resistances, indicating that increases in expiratory resistance result in a considerable level of hypoventilation. From the perspective of respirator design, the results of this study suggest that the only practical expiratory resistance level limitation is the reduction in performance that will be acceptable to the end users.

AB - Objectives: This study assessed posttraumatic growth (PTG) in a sample of U.S. Army Soldiers using the Post‐Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and the relationship between PTG and negative behavioral health (BH) conditions. Design: A sample of Soldiers with prior combat deployment experience (n = 1,834) completed an anonymous survey including demographics, the PTGI, and negative BH conditions. Results: Among previously deployed Soldiers, those reporting the highest number of combat experiences also reported significantly higher overall PTG. A significant inverse relationship was observed between PTG and recent suicidal ideation, whereby Soldiers reporting recent suicidal ideation reported significantly lower overall PTG. Conclusions: This study quantified PTG resulting from deployment and demonstrated the degree to which combat experiences might result in PTG.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S AB - Past studies indicated that overall Basic Combat Training (BCT) attrition (discharge) was associated with various risk factors. BCT has changed considerably since many of these studies were conducted. This study examined Soldiers medically attrited from BCT. Potential attrition risk factor data on recruits (n = 4,005) were collected from medical records, BCT unit records, and questionnaires. Attrition data from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, showed 203 medical discharges. Cox regression (univariate and multivariate) obtained hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for attrition risk factors. Higher attrition risk was associated with female gender. Higher attrition risk for men was associated with cigarette smoking, injury during BCT, and less exercise before BCT. Higher attrition risk for both genders was associated with failure on the initial 2-mile run test and separated or divorced marital status. Attrition risk factors found in this study were similar to those previously identified despite changes in BCT.

In this article, we provide a conceptual analysis and integrative framework for understanding the dynamics of military ethics based on two contrasting but complementary moralities—moralities of obligation and aspiration; and two types of moral motivation—rule-following and identity-conferring. We then provide analysis of the exemplary leadership required to inform and inspire military members to realize the aspirations embedded in an exemplary military ethic.

Issue Publication Date: Sep, 2011. Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Shared leadership involves building a broader and deeper capacity for leadership that goes beyond a formally appointed leader. Several models of team leadership are reviewed, distinguishing between the leadership of teams from leadership in teams. Shared leadership is a variant of the latter in which everyone on the team is responsible for leadership and where leadership emerges through patterned interactions of team members. Overall, shared leadership appears to be a possibility for the military— and one that is needed because of the increasing complexity of missions—but efforts need to be undertaken to incorporate it into formal training and doctrine.

However, researchers are only beginning to empirically explore the communicative aspects and constitution of military units and leadership in these contexts. This article highlights communicative features and processes in studies of distributed military units, particularly in those that examine leadership. We discuss aspects of military leadership that are in particular need of a communicative lens, including the communication of command intent, sensemaking, and leading across multiple cultures. We present future research directions that will further advance our understanding of the inextricable relationship between leadership and communication in distributed contexts.

AB - While practitioners and scholars tout the importance of mentorship in leader development, few studies have empirically determined whether mentoring actually positively impacts a leader's development, and if so, in what ways. In a longitudinal field experiment, we examined how a targeted mentorship program that unfolded over 6 months enhanced the development of protégés' leader efficacy and performance. Results showed that the targeted mentorship intervention increased protégés' level of leader efficacy more than a comparison intervention that was based on a more eclectic leadership education program delivered in a group setting. Leader efficacy then predicted rated leader performance. Both protégés' preferences for feedback and trust in the mentor served as important moderators in contributing to the development of leader efficacy. Findings from this longitudinal field experiment could be used by educational institutions and other organizations to enhance their mentorship programs in content, focus, and evaluation of impact.

Results showed that team leader authenticity at Time 1 predicted teamwork behavior and team productivity at Time 3, with these relationships mediated by team authenticity at Time 2. We further explored the moderating role of authenticity strength in the team authenticity–teamwork behavior relationship. Team authenticity interacted with authenticity strength such that the team authenticity–teamwork behavior relationship was stronger when authenticity strength was higher rather than lower. Implications of these findings for theories of shared leadership, team leadership, and authentic leadership are discussed.

AB - Objective: To assess the effect of the static force of a bone vibrator on the results of bone conduction (BC) threshold measurements and comfort. Design: BC thresholds were determined for 40 participants using the standardized P-3333 headband and a leather adjustable headstrap with variable static forces (2.4, 3.4, 4.4, 5.4 N). Comfort ratings were examined using a five-point Likert scale. Results: Mean BC thresholds were within ±2 dB across all conditions; differences may be considered small enough to be clinically insignificant. Participants experienced significantly greater discomfort with the P-3333 versus the adjustable headstrap. The mean static force of the P-3333 varied considerably and was higher in situ than the calibration standard of 5.4 N. Conclusions: The results suggest that future revisions of relevant international and national standards should address the use of an adjustable headstrap and a static force less than 5.4 N.

AB - The purpose was to understand the effects of loss aversion and framing on situation awareness (SA) and decision making for a dynamic missile simulation task. Whereas framing has been shown in numerous experiments that were based on the original paradigm, we hypothesized that the loss aversion effects were more general and would extend to conditions in which sure gains were not possible and would affect SA as well as decision making. Forty-eight students participated in a dynamic simulation in which operators had to decide which cities to defend and to answer SA probes while viewing 2-min scenarios wherein probabilities were assigned to a number of target cities as the missile attack unfolded. The authors varied frame in terms of lives lost or survived for a chosen allocation scheme and varied presentation mode in terms of either expected value or individual risk indices (probabilities and lives) as part of the graphic displays. There were significant effects on missile conservation decisions, coverage of small cities, and SA. The results supported theories positing more general effects of loss aversion related to negative affect. Guidelines related to presenting gain or loss information via graphic displays were suggested.

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of a new 16-item transition scale were conducted with 2 samples and resulted in 4 factors (Benefit, Appreciation, Anger/Alienation, and Guilt/Remorse). In Study 1 (N = 1,651), the number of combat events was positively related to Anger/Alienation 4 months later even after controlling for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, partial r = .18, p < .001. In Study 2 (N = 647), after controlling for PTSD symptoms, Anger/Alienation assessed at 4 months postdeployment predicted more risk-taking behaviors 4 months later, partial r = .10, p = .01. Appreciation predicted fewer unhealthy habits, partial r = −.13, p = .001, whereas Anger/Alienation predicted more unhealthy habits, partial r = .09, p = .024. Results demonstrate the importance of broadening the conceptualization of adjustment in combat veterans.

AB - Weight of evidence (WOE) methods are key components of ecological and human health risk assessments. Most WOE applications rely on the qualitative integration of diverse lines of evidence (LOE) representing impact on ecological receptors and humans. Recent calls for transparency in assessments and justifiability of management decisions are pushing the community to consider quantitative methods for integrated risk assessment and management. This article compares and contrasts the type of information required for application of individual WOE techniques and the outcomes that they provide in ecological risk assessment and proposes a multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework for integrating individual LOE in support of management decisions. The use of quantitative WOE techniques is illustrated for a hypothetical but realistic case study of selecting remedial alternatives at a contaminated aquatic site. Use of formal MCDA does not necessarily eliminate biases and judgment calls necessary for selecting remedial alternatives, but allows for transparent evaluation and fusion of individual LOE. It also provides justifiable methods for selecting remedial alternatives consistent with stakeholder and decision‐maker values.

(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2009-17643-013[/rid].) Researchers have found that there is an increase in mental heath problems as a result of military-related traumatic events, and such problems increase in the months following return from combat. Nevertheless, researchers have not assessed the impact of early intervention efforts with this at-risk population. In the present study, the authors compared different early interventions with 2,297 U.S. soldiers following a year-long deployment to Iraq. Platoons were randomly assigned to standard postdeployment stress education, Battlemind debriefing, and small and large group Battlemind training. Results from a 4-month follow-up with 1,060 participants showed those with high levels of combat exposure who received Battlemind debriefing reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression symptoms, and sleep problems than those in stress education. Small group Battlemind training participants with high combat exposure reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms and sleep problems than stress education participants. Compared to stress education participants, large group Battlemind training participants with high combat exposure reported fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms and lower levels of stigma and, regardless of combat exposure, reported fewer depression symptoms. Findings demonstrate that brief early interventions have the potential to be effective with at-risk occupational groups.

Issue Publication Date: Aug, 2011. AB - The debate about the cognitive mechanisms behind human temporal processing has raged for decades without a clear resolution. The theory presented here describes a different perspective to the traditional accounts on the issue, namely, that motor behaviors or sequences of motor behaviors provide a means of reproducing time intervals. Evidence behind this perspective includes tapping strategies (exemplified by musicians), counting strategies, and neuropsychological results showing activation of motor areas during temporal cognitive tasks. I propose that motor behaviors aid human timing by offering a set of processes that consistently take a set amount of time to accomplish. Motor behaviors also allow segmentation of larger intervals into smaller intervals that are easier to estimate. I conclude with a discussion of implications of this perspective on temporal cognition.

AB - Objective: To determine the effects of room reverberation on target sentence recognition in the presence of 0-to-3 synchronous masking sentences. Design: Target and masker sentences were presented through four loudspeakers (± 90° and ± 45° azimuth; 1m from the listener) in rooms having reverberation times (RT) of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 1.1 s. Study Sample: Four groups of 13 listeners each participated in the study (N = 52).RESULTS: In rooms with RTs of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 s, mean speech recognition scores (SRSs) were similar, with scores ranging from 96-100%, 90-95%, 75-80%, and 53-60%, when 0, 1, 2, and 3 competing sentences were present, respectively. However, in the room with a RT = 1.1 s, SRSs deteriorated significantly faster as the number of competing sentences increased; mean scores were 93%, 73%, 26%, and 10%, in the 0, 1, 2, 3, competing sentence condition, respectively. The majority of errors in SRSs (98%) resulted from listeners reporting words presented in masking sentences along with those in target sentences (mixing errors). Conclusions: Results indicate that reverberation has a similar influence on SRSs measured in multi-talker environments, when room reverberation is ≤ 0.6 s. However, SRSs are dramatically reduced in the room with a RT = 1.1 s, even when only one competing talker is present.

AB - Objectives: This study aims to specify the processing operations underlying age-related differences in the speed and accuracy of visual search in a mathematical model. Method: Eighteen older and 18 young adults searched for a predesignated target within 24-degree visual arrays containing distractors. Targets were systematically placed in regions that extended 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10 degrees from center. Data were fitted to several versions of a mathematical model in which it was assumed that target search proceeds from the center fixation to peripheral areas in a succession of visual inspections of clusters until the target is located and that clusters can vary in size in response to search difficulty. Results: Eccentricity effects on latencies and errors were larger for older adults than for younger adults, especially in the hardest search condition. The best-fitting version of the 'search-by-clusters' model accounted for an average of 98.4% and 95.4% of the variance in the young and older adults, respectively. The resulting time, accuracy, and cluster parameters behaved plausibly in each of the 36 data sets. Conclusions: A quantitative model that specified how individuals searched for targets in large arrays accurately predicted the search times and accuracies of younger and older adults.

Elsevier B.V. 2011. AB - A confounding factor in auditory functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments is the presence of the acoustic noise inherently associated with the echo planar imaging acquisition technique. Previous studies have demonstrated that this noise can induce unwanted neuronal responses that can mask stimulus-induced responses. Similarly, activation accumulated over multiple stimuli has been demonstrated to elevate the baseline, thus reducing the dynamic range available for subsequent responses. To best evaluate responses to auditory stimuli, it is necessary to account for the presence of all recent acoustic stimulation, beginning with an understanding of the attenuating effects brought about by interaction between and among induced unwanted neuronal responses, and responses to desired auditory stimuli. This study focuses on the characterization of the duration of this temporal memory and qualitative assessment of the associated response attenuation. Two experimental parameters—interstimulus interval (ISI) and repetition time (TR) —were varied during an fMRI experiment in which participants were asked to passively attend to an auditory stimulus. Results present evidence of a state-dependent interaction between induced responses. As expected, attenuating effects of these interactions become less significant as TR and ISI increase and in contrast to previous work, persist up to 18s after a stimulus presentation.

Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%). Implications for understanding suicide among military personnel are discussed.

AB - The effects of caffeine-induced arousal on global versus local object focus were investigated in non-habitual consumers using a double-blind, within-subjects, repeated-measures design. Following an overnight fast, low caffeine consumers (N = 36; M = 42.5 mg/day caffeine) completed 5 counterbalanced test sessions (normal consumption, 0 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg) separated by at least 3 days. During each session, volunteers either consumed their normal amount of caffeine or were administered 1 of 4 treatment pills. One hour later they completed two tasks assessing visual attention, in counterbalanced order. Measures of mood, salivary caffeine and cortisol were taken at multiple time points. Dose-dependent elevation of caffeine in the saliva demonstrated the experimental manipulation was effective. Furthermore, analyses of the mood and arousal measures detected consistent changes on arousal subscales and caffeine administration elevated saliva cortisol. Analyses of the visual attention tasks revealed that caffeine-induced physiological arousal produced global processing biases, after as little as 100 mg caffeine. These data suggest caffeine consumption may influence how individuals attend to and process information in their environment and could influence daily tasks such as face recognition, learning new environments and navigation, especially for those who normally consume little caffeine.

Copyright Statement: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association AB - Purpose: To evaluate noise-induced hearing injury (NIHI) and blast-related comorbidities among U.S. Army soldiers in an effort to understand the morbidity burden and future health service requirements for wounded war fighters returning from the Central Command Area of Responsibility, predominantly from Iraq and Afghanistan deployments. Method: Inpatient and outpatient records with diagnosed NIHI or blast-related comorbidities (e.g., significant threshold shift [STS], noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, eardrum perforations, mild traumatic brain injury, and posttraumatic stress disorder) were extracted for active duty soldiers returning from combat deployments. Records were limited to those within 6 months of the soldier’s return date from April 2003 through June 2009. To account for changes in STS coding practice, STS rates observed after October 1, 2006, were used to extrapolate prior probable postdeployment STS. Results: Statistically significant increases were observed for tinnitus, dizziness, eardrum perforations, and speech-language disorders. The combination of observed and extrapolated STS yielded a conservative estimate of 27,427 cases. Conclusions: Estimates can be used to forecast resource requirements for hearing services among veterans. This article could serve as a guide for resourcing and innovating prevention measures and treatment in this population. Data provided may also serve as a baseline for evaluating prevention measures.

Carr (see record [rid]2011-12428-001[/rid]). Russell Carr's poignant and personal account of the impact of a suicide in a deployed setting captures well the second- and third-order effects of this single, tragic event. It also illustrates important similarities and differences between non-combat and combat environments and highlights the unique psychosocial aspects of suicide and behavioral health conditions in the military compared to the civilian sector of our society. Carr's account also makes clear the difficulty in preventing an individual from committing this final act by those closest to the victim as well as the physicians and other medical personnel actively treating his or her underlying behavioral health disorder. There are no quick fixes for the behavioral health issues related to stress in our current military operating environment, but Dr. Carr and all of the other dedicated professionals in today's Army will continue to do everything they can to care for our men and women. We'll also continue to seek answers to the broader questions posed by protracted 21st century warfare, and ultimately find ways to prevent, or at least mitigate the effects of, the war within.

In previous literature, subclinical traits have been identified as potential causes of leader derailment. However, leader development researchers have argued that developmental interventions based on increasing self-awareness may be effective at mitigating the negative effects of these character flaws. Using a multi-wave, multi-method longitudinal study of military school cadets we evaluate the impact of subclinical traits on externally-rated measures of leader development over a three year period. Results demonstrated that adding subclinical traits to models of development significantly increased model fit and that the relationship between 'dark side' personality traits and performance and training is more complicated than originally thought. Moreover, subclinical traits were associated with different developmental trajectories over time. Implications for leadership development research and practice are discussed.

AB - The Special Issue (June 2011) of the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings titled Strengthening Our Soldiers (SOS) and Their Families: Contemporary Psychological Advances Applied to Wartime Problems revealed the following important concerns: 1) Who is at risk for psychological sequelae during and following service in the U.S. military? 2) How to deliver the best treatment for our soldiers and veterans with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury and Pain? 3) How to train the trainers? and 4) What are the current priorities for service delivery, research and funding? Assessment strategies and tools are provided to assist in identification of suicidal ideation and behaviors, alcohol abuse in spouses, posttraumatic stress disorders, depression, brain injuries and post-concussion syndrome, as well as positive growth experiences. Empirically validated Cognitive Processing and Prolonged Exposure treatments are described as are the empirical results already in evidence in our military populations. The innovative use of Virtual Reality and Telehealth applications is demonstrated in both army and naval settings for preparing and reducing trauma in affected soldiers. The Functional and Occupational Rehabilitation Treatment (FORT) Program and its role in returning function to injured soldiers with musculoskeletal pain and motion restrictions, while also leading to reductions of anxiety, depression and use of medical services, is described. A critique about providing service-research for children’s reactions to their parent’s deployments and family functioning during separation and reintegration is provided. The need for theoretical-empirical approaches to understanding pain-behavior, anxiety dysregulation as it impacts the brain function and structure is provided by experts in pain, neuropsychology, brain circuitry and anxiety management of multiple traumas. This final paper in SOS provides commentary on SOS and describes possible future implications of current psychological knowledge related to military personnel and their families.

AB - The present study examined the normative scores and psychometric properties of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991) within a non-treatment-seeking sample of soldiers deployed to combat zones in Iraq, compared with a sample of community adults matched with respect to age and gender. Results indicate the scores and properties of the PAI scales were generally quite similar in the Iraq and community samples, with modest differences emerging on only 3 subscales addressing antisocial behavior, issues with close relationships, and interpersonal vigilance. These results suggest that standard normative interpretation of PAI scales is appropriate even when the instrument is administered in a combat zone. In comparison with prior research, the results may suggest that documented mental health issues among combat veterans, when present, may be particularly likely to emerge postdeployment.

Copyright Statement: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2011. AB - Job attitudes, as indicators of well-being, vary within individuals across cognitive processes and not just time. Research on employee well-being has relied primarily on self-reported measures of explicit job and life attitudes. Our work takes a different perspective on this issue by examining the role of implicit attitudes regarding one's organization, coworkers, and supervisor as indicators of well-being. Implicit attitudes are automatic, introspectively inaccessible, and predict behavior in socially sensitive contexts in which self-report measures may be impaired by impression management. The results of a field study demonstrate that implicit and explicit job attitudes reflect relatively independent intra-individual processes. Additionally, this study demonstrates that job performance and citizenship behaviors are best predicted by a combination of implicit and explicit job attitudes, and that a dissociation between implicit and explicit attitudes impacts organizational identification. We conclude with a discussion of how capturing implicit cognition in the workplace can better describe and subsequently help improve employee well-being.

A total of 32 U.S. Military Special Operations personnel enrolled in Survival School completed measures of trauma history, dissociation, and burnout before training. They then completed the Groton Maze Learning Test (GMLT), a neuropsychological measure of integrative visuospatial executive function during three field-based phases of Survival School—enemy evasion, captivity/interrogation, and escape/release from captivity. Lower pre-training perceptions of professional efficacy were associated with reduced executive function during all of the field-based phases of Survival School, even after adjustment for years of education, cynicism, and baseline GMLT scores. Magnitudes of decrements in executive function in Marines with low efficacy relative to those with high efficacy increased as training progressed and ranged from .58 during enemy evasion to .99 during escape/release from captivity. Pre-training perceptions of burnout may predict visuospatial executive function during naturalistic training-related stress in military personnel. Assessment of burnout symptoms, particularly perceptions of professional efficacy, may help identify military personnel at risk for stress-related executive dysfunction.

AB - The organizational justice literature has consistently documented substantial correlations between organizational justice and employee depression. Existing theoretical literature suggests this relationship occurs because perceptions of organizational (in)justice lead to subsequent psychological health problems. Building on recent research on the affective nature of justice perceptions, in the present research we broaden this perspective by arguing there are also theoretical arguments for a reverse effect whereby psychological health problems influence perceptions of organizational justice. To contrast both theoretical perspectives, we test longitudinal lagged effects between organizational justice perceptions (i.e., distributive justice, interactional justice, interpersonal justice, informational justice, and procedural justice) and employee depressive symptoms using structural equation modeling. Analyses of 3 samples from different military contexts (N₁ = 625, N₂ = 134, N₃ = 550) revealed evidence of depressive symptoms leading to subsequent organizational justice perceptions. In contrast, the opposite effects of organizational justice perceptions on depressive symptoms were not significant for any of the justice dimensions. The findings have broad implications for theoretical perspectives on psychological health and organizational justice perceptions.

Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - Approximately 28,000 service members (SMs) sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year in the U.S. military. The majority of the injuries result either in a brief or no loss of consciousness, and are classified as a mild TBI (mTBI or concussion). Current evaluation guidelines of SMs suspected of having a mTBI rely heavily on self-reports. However, there is concern that SMs typically minimize or do not report their symptoms of mTBI for fear that doing so will result in being removed from the battlefield. Because mTBI often results in headaches, cognitive dysfunction, attention difficulties, and balance problems, returning to the battlefield before resolution of their symptoms can be dangerous for the SM and for their unit. Sustaining a second concussion before resolution of a previous mTBI also may make long-term neuronal injury more likely. The mTBI Diagnostics Workshop was designed as a forum where civilian and military experts from a variety of TBI-related clinical and basic science disciplines could meet to define the diagnostic tools, alone or in combination, that were most likely to result in an acute, objective diagnosis of mTBI. The premise of the meeting was that a small number of well-focused research projects conducted over the next 2–3 years could be done to validate the optimal test, or more likely combination of tests, that would be practical and reliable for the acute diagnosis of mTBI within 2–3 h of injury in theater. The recommendations of the Workshop are provided in this report.

Method: Primary care providers performed directed mental health screenings during standard predeployment medical screening. If indicated, on-site mental health providers assessed occupational functioning with unit leaders and coordinated in-theater care for those cleared for deployment. Mental health-related clinical encounters and evacuations during the first 6 months of deployment in 2007 were compared for 10,678 soldiers from three screened combat brigades and 10,353 soldiers from three comparable unscreened combat brigades. Results: Of 10,678 soldiers screened, 819 (7.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.2–8.2) received further mental health evaluation; of these, 74 (9.0%, 95% CI = 7.1–11.0) were not cleared to deploy and 96 (11.7%, 95% CI = 9.5–13.9) were deployed with additional requirements. After 6 months, soldiers in screened brigades had significantly lower rates of clinical contacts than did those in unscreened brigades for suicidal ideation (0.4%, 95% CI = 0.3–0.5, compared with 0.9%, 95% CI = 0.7–1.1), for combat stress (15.7%, 95% CI = 15.0–16.4, compared with 22.0%, 95% CI = 21.2–22.8), and for psychiatric disorders (2.9%, 95% CI = 2.6–3.2, compared with 13.2%, 95% C I= 12.5–13.8), as well as lower rates of occupational impairment (0.6%, 95% CI = 0.4–0.7, compared with 1.8%, 95% C I= 1.5–2.1) and air evacuation for behavioral health reasons (0.1%, 95% CI = 0.1–0.2, compared with 0.3%, 95% CI = 0.2–0.4). Conclusions: Predeployment mental health screening was associated with significant reductions in occupationally impairing mental health problems, medical evacuations from Iraq for mental health reasons, and suicidal ideation. This predeployment screening process provides a feasible system for screening soldiers and coordinating mental health support during deployment.

The purpose of this research was to test a dynamic relationship between spiritual leadership and spiritual well-being (i.e., a sense of calling and membership), and key organizational outcomes in a sample of emerging military leaders. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), results revealed a positive and significant relationship between spiritual leadership and several unit-level outcomes, including organizational commitment and four measures of performance. These relationships were explained or mediated by spiritual well-being. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

AB - The Hazardous Events Scale (HES), a measure of involvement in potentially dangerous situations in aviation that do not lead to accidents, has been used as a surrogate for actual accident involvement in studies of risk taking and hazardous attitudes. However, no correlation between the HES and actual accident involvement has previously been published. In this research effort we developed an Army-specific version of the HES and administered it, over the course of 4 separate surveys, to a large sample of U.S. Army aviators. We then computed Army-HES scores that we correlated with self-reported accident involvement. We also reanalyzed data from 4 separate civilian studies in which the civilian version of the HES was administered to compute a correlation between HES and self-reported accident involvement. We hypothesized that a positive correlation would be obtained between the HES and accident involvement. That hypothesis was supported by the results. Positive, significant correlations were obtained for the Army sample (r = .15), and each of the 4 civilian studies (r = .23, r = .32, r = .24, r = .30) between the HES and self-reported accident involvement. The use of the HES as a surrogate measure for accident involvement and indicator of pilot accident risk for both individual pilots and organizations is discussed.

AB - Gene delivery using an adenoviral system has been effective in introducing therapeutic proteins in vitro and in vivo. This study tested the feasibility of using adenovirus to deliver clinically relevant amounts of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), a proven bioscavenger of nerve agents. The adenovirus construct expressed full-length mouse BChE. Mice were injected with a single dose of adenovirus (1.5 × 10¹⁰ infectious units) in the tail vein; plasma was collected through day 11 and assayed for BChE activity. Maximum activity, representing a 300- to 3400-fold increase over baseline, was found on day 4. Expression levels returned to baseline by day 10. Nondenaturing gel electrophoresis showed the recombinant BChE was a dimer that could be converted to tetramers by addition of polyproline. The toxic compounds chosen for protection studies were positively charged organophosphorus agents, echothiophate, and O-ethyl-S-2-N,N-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate (VX). Mice containing elevated blood levels of BChE (300- to 3,000-fold over the control mice) were challenged with incremental doses of echothiophate or VX. Mice showed no signs of toxicity and were protected from up to 30× LD₅₀ dose of echothiophate and 5× LD₅₀ dose of VX. A good correlation was observed between tolerated echothiophate dose and plasma BChE levels at time of challenge. The absolute increases in levels of circulating BChE and the sustained nature of the response resulted in a very high enzyme concentration, deemed critical in acute toxicity (5× LD₅₀ or more) scenarios. These results suggest that gene-delivered BChE is a prophylactic and affords protection equivalent to that of a multimilligram injection of the same.

AB - Sleep deprivation has a complex set of neurological effects that go beyond a mere slowing of mental processes. While cognitive and perceptual impairments in sleep deprived individuals are widespread, some abilities remain intact. In an effort to characterize these effects, some have suggested an impairment of complex decision-making ability despite intact ability to follow simple rules. To examine this trade-off, 24-hour total sleep deprived individuals performed two versions of a resource acquisition foraging task, one in which exploration is optimal (to succeed, abandon low value, high saliency options) and another in which exploitation is optimal (to succeed, refrain from switching between options). Sleep deprived subjects exhibited decreased performance on the exploitation task compared to non-sleep deprived controls, yet both groups exhibited increased performance on the exploratory task. These results speak to previous neuropsychological work on cognitive control.

AB - A military vehicle crew station environment was simulated and a series of three experiments was conducted to examine the workload and performance of the combined position of the gunner and robotics operator in a multitasking environment. The study also evaluated whether aided target recognition (AiTR) capabilities (delivered through tactile and/or visual cuing) for the gunnery task might benefit the concurrent robotics and communication tasks and how the concurrent task performance might be affected when the AiTR was unreliable (i.e., false alarm prone or miss prone). Participants’ spatial ability was consistently found to be a reliable predictor of their targeting task performance as well as their modality preference for the AiTR display. Participants’ attentional control was found to significantly affect the way they interacted with unreliable automated systems.

AB - This study investigated the scalability of unmanned vehicle displays for dismounted warfighters. Task performance, workload, and preferences for three display devices were examined in two operational settings: teleoperation of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and intelligence gathering from a remote unmanned vehicle. Previous research has demonstrated variability in operational needs with regard to active teleoperation versus passive intelligence gathering. Thus, it was important to identify whether there was actually a dichotomy between the two in terms of screen space requirements and whether this difference stems from task differences or other factors. Thirty-one soldiers participated in a field study at Fort Benning, Georgia. They were required to perform teleoperation and intelligence-gathering tasks. Results reconfirmed the hypothesis that display type influences performance in intelligence-related tasks that require the use of video feed and digital map. No significant differences among display types were found in the UGV teleoperation task. Dismounted warfighters can adequately perform both active and passive duties with a handheld device on which the video window is as small as 4.3 inches in diameter. However, monocular helmet-mounted displays for robotic displays can be problematic and should be carefully assessed before use in dismounted warfighters’ missions.

AB - Recent acts of violence have demonstrated the impact of violent ideological groups worldwide. However, the systematic study of these groups is somewhat limited. The Internet is a valuable tool for investigating ideological group behavior because it is easily accessible and commonly used by these groups. This study attempted to extend previous research by examining online message boards to assess processes particular to ideological group membership. A content analysis was conducted on several group process variables using 29 groups with message boards. A Kruskal-Wallis test with follow-up pairwise comparisons was used to find that violent ideological groups differed from nonviolent ideological and nonviolent nonideological groups on 7 group process variables and 3 content variables. Implications are discussed.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The regression framework is often the method of choice used by psychologists for predicting organizationally relevant outcomes from test scores. However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives—decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)—and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between 'stayers' and 'leavers' after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

AB - Although empowerment often makes a team more effective, managers do not use this tool extensively. One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Soldiers on today's battlefield find themselves monitoring a host of displays in both vehicles and command centers, with personal-mounted displays looming in the near future. Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing.

The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

An exaggerated activation of TLR4 induces inflammatory response, whereas SP-A protein down-regulates inflammation. We hypothesized that SP-A–TLR4 interaction may lead to inhibition of inflammation. In this study, we investigated interaction between native baboon lung SP-A and baboon and human TLR4-MD2 proteins by coimmunoprecipitation/immunoblotting and microwell-based methods. The interaction between SP-A and TLR4-MD2 proteins was then analyzed using a bioinformatics approach. In the in silico model of SP-A–TLR4–MD2 complex, we identified potential binding regions and amino acids at the interface of SP-A-TLR4. Using this information, we synthesized a library of human SP-A-derived peptides that contained interacting amino acids. Next, we tested whether the TLR4-interacting SP-A peptides would suppress inflammatory cytokines. The peptides were screened for any changes in the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) response against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimuli in the mouse JAWS II dendritic cell line. Different approaches used in this study suggested binding between SP-A and TLR4-MD2 proteins. In cells pretreated with peptides, three of seven peptides increased TNF-α production against LPS. However, two of these peptides (SPA4: GDFRYSDGTPVNYTNWYRGE and SPA5: YVGLTEGPSPGDFRYSDFTP) decreased the TNF-α production in LPS-challenged JAWS II dendritic cells; SPA4 peptide showed more pronounced inhibitory effect than SPA5 peptide. In conclusion, we identify a human SP-A-derived peptide (SPA4 peptide) that interacts with TLR4-MD2 protein and inhibits the LPS-stimulated release of TNF-α in JAWS II dendritic cells.

Both regions are believed to play important roles in the development and expression of fear conditioning. The purpose of this experiment was to test these conditioning tasks as a possible behavioral correlate of the observed neuropathology. Male rats were exposed to GD (1.0 or 1.2 × LD₅₀) or saline followed with injections of atropine sulfate, the oxime HI-6 and diazepam. Fear conditioning was conducted on post-exposure day (PED) 8 followed by measuring freezing to contextual and auditory conditioned stimuli on PED 9 and 10 respectively. Contextual and auditory fear conditioning was severely impaired in both the 1.0 × LD₅₀ and 1.2 × LD₅₀ GD groups. Both GD groups spent less time freezing than controls when returned to the context in which conditioning occurred. The 1.0 × LD₅₀ and 1.2 × LD₅₀ groups had very low levels of freezing following presentation of the auditory conditioned stimulus. Neuronal fiber degeneration was present in the piriform cortex, thalamus, and amygdala in GD-exposed animals regardless of dose. The present study suggests that contextual and auditory fear conditioning is impaired in GD-exposed rats possibly due to neuropathology observed in the hippocampus, amygdala and thalamus.

These adjustments can result in substantial improvements to item validity, reductions in mean racial differences, and resistance to coaching designed to improve scores. The first adjustment, applicable to SJTs that use Likert scales, controls for elevation and scatter (Cronbach & Gleser, 1953). This adjustment improves item validity. Also, because there is a White–Black mean difference in the preference for extreme responses on Likert scales (Bachman & O'Malley, 1984), these adjustments substantially reduce White–Black mean score differences. Furthermore, this adjustment often eliminates the score elevation associated with the coaching strategy of avoiding extreme responses (Cullen, Sackett, & Lievens, 2006). Item validity is shown to have a U-shaped relationship with item means. This holds both for SJTs with Likert score response formats and for SJTs where respondents identify the best and worst response option. Given the U-shaped relationship, the second adjustment is to drop items with midrange item means. This permits the SJT to be shortened, sometimes dramatically, without necessarily harming validity.

Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - Collaboration among investigators, centers, countries, and disciplines is essential to advancing the care for traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is thus important that we ‘‘speak the same language.’’ Great variability, however, exists in data collection and coding of variables in TBI studies, confounding comparisons between and analysis across different studies. Randomized controlled trials can never address the many uncertainties concerning treatment approaches in TBI. Pooling data from different clinical studies and high-quality observational studies combined with comparative effectiveness research may provide excellent alternatives in a cost-efficient way. Standardization of data collection and coding is essential to this end. Common data elements (CDEs) are presented for demographics and clinical variables applicable across the broad spectrum of TBI. Most recommendations represent a consensus derived from clinical practice. Some recommendations concern novel approaches, for example assessment of the intensity of therapy in severely injured patients. Up to three levels of detail for coding data elements were developed: basic, intermediate, and advanced, with the greatest level of detail attained in the advanced version. More detailed codings can be collapsed into the basic version. Templates were produced to summarize coding formats, explanation of choices, and recommendations for procedures. Endorsement of the recommendations has been obtained from many authoritative organizations. The development of CDEs for TBI should be viewed as a continuing process; as more experience is gained, refinement and amendments will be required. This proposed process of standardization will facilitate comparative effectiveness research and encourage high-quality meta-analysis of individual patient data.

Fifty-eight bus drivers completed two daily surveys over a two-week period, producing 415 matched surveys. Results of hierarchical linear models revealed that affective states worsened when employees engaged in surface acting but improved when they engaged in deep acting. Surface acting was positively associated with work withdrawal, and state negative affect mediated this relationship. Results also revealed moderating effects of gender: the within-individual relationships were stronger for females than for males.

AB - The possibility of mass exposure to nerve agents by a terrorist attack necessitates the availability of antidotes that can be effective against nerve agent toxicity even when administered at a relatively long latency after exposure, because medical assistance may not be immediately available. Nerve agents induce status epilepticus (SE), which can cause brain damage or death. Antagonists of kainate receptors that contain the GluK1 (formerly known as GluR5) subunit (GluK1 Rs) are emerging as a new potential treatment for SE and epilepsy from animal research, whereas clinical trials to treat pain have shown that the GluK1/a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist LY293558 [(3S,4aR,6R,8aR)-6-[2- (1(2)H-tetrazole-5-yl)ethyl]decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid] is safe and well tolerated. Therefore, we tested whether LY293558 is effective against soman-induced seizures and neuropathology, when administered 1 h after soman exposure, in rats. LY293558 stopped seizures induced by soman and reduced the total duration of SE, monitored by electroencephalographic recordings within a 24 h-period after exposure. In addition, LY293558 prevented neuronal loss in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and the CA1 hippocampal area on both days 1 and 7 after soman exposure and reduced neuronal degeneration in the CA1, CA3, and hilar hippocampal regions, entorhinal cortex, amygdala, and neocortex on day 1 after exposure and in the CA1, CA3, amygdala, and neocortex on day 7 after exposure. It also prevented the delayed loss of glutamic acid decarboxylase-67 immuno-stained BLA interneurons on day 7 after exposure. LY293558 is a potential new emergency treatment for nerve agent exposure that can be expected to be effective against seizures and brain damage even with late administration.

Burns are best managed by setting a multidisciplinary program that addresses the numerous surgical, medical, functional, psychological, and social problems that may occur. The solutions may begin in the operating room and ICU and can last years through the outpatient clinic, therapy gym, councilor's office, peer groups, reconstructive surgeon's visits, workplace and home as survivors work to resume their lives.

AB - These are many types of families and children who receive early intervention services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part C Infants and Toddlers program. In 2006, the families of approximately 298,000 infants and toddlers were enrolled in Early Intervention programs across the United States (Goode, Lazara, & Danaher, 2008). This chapter will further discuss these key underpinnings to the section of IDEA that supports our very youngest children and their families.

AB - Objective: This study was designed to describe the epidemiology of psychiatric illnesses experienced by soldiers in a combat environment, which has been previously underreported. Methods: A U.S. Army brigade combat team deployed to Iraq during the Iraq War 'Troop Surge' was followed by reviewing unit casualty rosters and electronic medical records for psychiatric diagnoses made by treating providers. The main outcome was the incidence rates of psychiatric disease and nonbattle injury (DNBI). Results: Of the 4122 soldiers deployed, there were 308 psychiatric DNBI casualties (59.8 per 1000 soldier combat-years), which represented 23% of all DNBIs and was second only to musculoskeletal injuries (50% of all DNBI). Most psychiatric DNBI (88%) were treated in theater and returned to duty, 11% were medically evacuated and 1% died. Junior enlisted soldiers, compared with junior officers, and women, compared with men, were at a significantly increased risk for becoming a psychiatric DNBI casualty (77.3 vs. 32.2 per 1000 combat-years, P < .002 and 110.8 vs. 55.4 per 1000 combat-years P < .05, respectively). Conclusions: Psychiatric diagnoses are second only to musculoskeletal injuries as a cause for DNBIs sustained in the current combat environment. Most can be treated in theater and permit soldiers to return to duty.

AB - As military conflicts around the world persist, a comprehensive approach in managing behavioral health issues will continue to be a key component of military healthcare. Deployed military personnel frequently exposed to trauma are well-known to be at high risk for developing behavioral health disorders, including combat stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder. In the U.S. Army, members of combat operational stress control (COSC) units have unique skills to assist soldiers and their families not only throughout all phases of a deployment, but also throughout a soldier’s entire career. The purposes of this article are twofold, first to describe the role of COSC operations with an emphasis on interventions in a deployed environment. The second purpose is to present a case study from Operation Iraqi Freedom highlighting the efficacy of the COSC approach to meet a Soldier’s behavioral health needs in a deployed environment.

However, a large body of research indicates that sleepiness is quite common in most organizations, and can have destructive effects on how employees think, feel, behave, and perform. Accordingly, the purpose of this article is threefold. First is a discussion of workplace factors that contribute to a lack of sleep. Second is a discussion of the various effects of low levels of sleep. Third, strategies drawn from the research literature are provided for managing sleepy workers. These fall into two categories. Prevention includes improving sleep hygiene, strategic napping, scheduling tasks when humans are best suited to be awake, avoiding backward shift rotation, limiting shift length, and minimizing stress in the workplace. Mitigation includes utilizing teams, team member rotation, giving sleepy employees familiar tasks rather than novel tasks, task rotation, breaks, and caffeine. With these tools, it is possible to address a pervasive and growing problem that is often overlooked.

AB - This article describes the development of the spiritual fitness component of the Army's Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program. Spirituality is defined in the human sense as the journey people take to discover and realize their essential selves and higher order aspirations. Several theoretically and empirically based reasons are articulated for why spirituality is a necessary component of the CSF program: Human spirituality is a significant motivating force, spirituality is a vital resource for human development, and spirituality is a source of struggle that can lead to growth or decline. A conceptual model developed by Sweeney, Hannah, and Snider (2007) is used to identify several psychological structures and processes that facilitate the development of the human spirit. From this model, an educational, computer-based program has been developed to promote spiritual resilience. This program consists of three tiers: (a) building awareness of the self and the human spirit, (b) building awareness of resources to cultivate the human spirit, and (c) building awareness of the human spirit of others. Further research will be needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative and potentially important program.

The U.S. Army Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program aims to measure the psychosocial strengths and assets of soldiers as well as their problems, to identify those in need of basic training in a given domain as well as those who would benefit from advanced training, and then to provide that training. The goals of the CSF program include the promotion of well-being as well as the prevention of problems. Assessment is the linchpin of the CSF program, and the Global Assessment Tool (GAT) is a self-report survey that measures psychosocial fitness in emotional, social, family, and spiritual domains. We review the history of psychological assessment in the military and the lessons taught by this history. Then we describe the process by which the GAT was developed and evaluated. We conclude with a discussion of pending next steps in the development and use of the GAT.

AB - The Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program is designed to increase psychological strength and positive performance and to reduce the incidence of maladaptive responses of the entire U.S. Army. Based on the principles of positive psychology, CSF is a historically unique approach to behavioral health in a large (1.1 million members) organization. There are four program elements: (a) the assessment of emotional, social, family, and spiritual fitness; (b) individualized learning modules to improve fitness in these domains; (c) formal resilience training; and (d) training of Army master resilience trainers (MRTs) to instill better thinking skills and resilience in their subordinates. In contrast to traditional approaches, CSF is proactive; rather than waiting to see who has a negative outcome following stress, it provides ways of improving resilience for all members of the Army. CSF aims to move the full spectrum of responses to trauma and adversity—ranging from stress-related disorders to ordinary resilience—toward personal growth. This program may provide a model for implementing similar interventions in other very large institutions.

AB - Despite being essential to the success of participatory ergonomics (PEs) programs, there are currently no known quantitative measures that capture the employees’ perspective of PE program effectiveness. The present study addresses this need through the development of the Employee Perceptions of Participatory Ergonomics Questionnaire (EPPEQ). The questionnaire is designed to assess five key components that are based on a review of the available literature: Employee Involvement, Knowledge Base, Managerial Support, Employee Support, and Strain related to ergonomic changes. In Phase 1, a sample of employees and ergonomists working at a manufacturing plant was used to develop and test an initial set of items. In Phase 2, data was collected from a nation-wide sample of employees representing a wide range of jobs and organizations to cross-validate the results from Phase 1. Phase 2 results indicate that the five EPPEQ subscales demonstrate sound convergent validity and are also correlated with traditional indicators of PE program success. Implications and uses of the EPPEQ are discussed.

AB - Technological advances have yielded significant changes in the way people work. Decision makers dealing with complex, ill-structured problems, dynamic environments with significant time stress, shifting or competing goals, and significant consequences for failure are particular targets for technological support. In fact, these same characteristics are key task indicators in naturalistic decision-making (NDM) contexts. In many environments, the employment of technology has led to teams in which members are more mobile, more versatile, and more distributed in time, space, and purpose. Often these teams are ad hoc—they are brought together for a limited time span to address a specific problem and often have diverse backgrounds and technical expertise that form the basis for their selection onto the team. This expertise provides a second key distinguishing characteristic of NDM research; that is, it does not address naive participants, but rather experienced decision makers. In this chapter, we present research aimed at investigating factors that influence ad hoc team operations and decision processes in technologically sophisticated operational environments, thus providing a third distinguishing characteristic of NDM research—that it addresses complex problem spaces. Finally, due to the complexity of the environment, our research focuses on the situation awareness (SA) of the decision maker, which highlights a fourth and final significant characteristic of NDM research: a concern with situation assessment. We begin with a brief overview of the challenges faced by ad hoc teams, then introduce a theoretical framework of team SA, and describe a preliminary study that evaluated elements that may affect factors of this framework.

In the case of the military, the mission dictates how often a service member leaves the base camp and is exposed to the combat conditions that can result in PTSD. Those in other occupations, such as firefighters and police officers, face risky environments as well. This issue of occupational risk associated with PTSD has gone largely unrecognized as it relates to the diagnostic conceptualization of the disorder. Unfortunately, the current diagnostic criteria for PTSD do not adopt an occupational health model. Instead, the criteria are based on a victim-based medical model. This decision to combine occupational risk with victimhood has obscured the critical differences between the two and has limited the examination of their unique diagnostic and prognostic pathways. The purpose of this chapter is to propose a reconceptualization of combat-related PTSD. This reconceptualization reviews the role of the definition of trauma, the context of symptoms, and the understanding of functional impairment.

Our emphasis is on the use of mental health screening programs as part of medical support surrounding military deployments (i.e., care-based screening); however, we also set the context by discussing the use of selection-based screening. In the interest of disclosure, we acknowledge that our research has played a central role in the U.S. military’s decision to implement at least one care-based screening program; therefore, we cannot be considered unbiased, and we generally support deployment-centered screening programs. Nonetheless, in an attempt to provide a balanced treatment of the topic, we also recognize that concerns with screening programs cannot be lightly dismissed.

Although military personnel are typically glad to be back, the transition home also involves a period of psychological adjustment. In this chapter, we explicitly broaden the traditional psychological focus on psychopathology in the aftermath of a combat deployment and focus instead on the overall transition process. Whether this period of adjustment is primarily positive, negative, or a combination of the two, all veterans must negotiate the psychological transition from combat to home. By broadening the conceptualization to include positive aspects of the transition process and adjustment issues that are not part of a psychiatric disorder, our goal is to reflect more accurately the psychological experience of service members following a deployment.

AB - Our central argument is that research data have demonstrated that mental health variables from individuals in the same work group are more similar than would be expected by chance. These group-level properties associated with the mental health variables provide a basis to expect that even short universally applied interventions can be effective if such interventions leverage the existing small-group social structure. That is, intervention efficacy can be maximized if it builds on the small-unit social structure in a way that does things such as encouraging team members to look out for each other and support each other during stressful transitions. Research suggests, however, that the effectiveness of large-scale preventive interventions will almost certainly be small when evaluated against traditional statistical effect size criteria. Rather than dismiss the value of preventive measures because of small effects, we provide reasons why such programs should be emphasized and supported.

AB - The goal of this volume is to guide the field of military psychology in the development of evidence-based support for service members. Many psychological studies have described the mental health toll of combat as a warning about its cost in terms of human suffering. It is amazing that fewer studies have focused on evidence-based attempts to prevent mental health problems and enhance service member well-being and resilience. This volume is designed to fill this gap. The authors in this volume represent perspectives from clinical and research psychologists, physicians, and sociologists, and although the focus is largely the United States and primarily the army, international perspectives from the United Kingdom and Canada are included as well. The authors are a unique group of specialists who, as clinicians and researchers, are addressing the challenge of sustaining service member mental health. These authors share the goal of developing and implementing evidence-based interventions. Using the perspective of an occupational health model, the chapters in this volume emphasize the way in which the military organization can moderate the impact of combat on service member mental health through individual screening, training, peer support, leadership, and organizational policies. The chapters range from clinically based reflections on how to manage service member mental health during deployment to proposals for reconceptualizing service delivery, the role of peers, and what it means to transition home. This volume emphasizes what is known—and not known—about evidence-based approaches for early interventions and mental health resilience training conducted with service members. Throughout, the authors, all specialists in the field of military mental health, consider both the positive and negative impact that combat can have on service members and their families. The chapters also establish an agenda for research designed to support and promote the well-being of service members and their families.

Military families going though the emotional cycle of deployment and experiencing the demand of combat tours are stressed at the very deepest levels of the human experience. The human need for intimate emotional connection as described in attachment theory is at the core of the struggle our military families face. The Emotionally-Focused Therapy therapist brings unique skills and theoretical perspectives that can assist these courageous families to overcome unparalleled hardship and build amazing resilience. It is the hope of the authors that more Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) therapists will bring their skills to the home front into the fight to save military families serving in the global war on terror.

AB - The chapters in this volume provide the basis for an ethical foundation and framework for the various roles and responsibilities of operational psychologists. It is evident that operational psychologists experience special demands and bear social responsibilities in providing services in difficult and demanding nontraditional settings. Therefore, psychologists must find a way, as did the founding members of the profession, to reconcile the science, practice, law, and ethics with national security threats posed by avowed enemies of our way of life.

Much of applied psychology started with support of military operations in World War I and World War II. However, application of psychological expertise to support military commanders to attain strategic goals in a theater of war and facilitate intelligence operations requires a significant paradigm shift for many psychologists. Behavioral science consultation, as described in this chapter, is an area of practice that applies psychological science to interrogation and debriefing operations. Psychologists and other experts in behavioral science have consulted to law enforcement and intelligence agencies in both civilian and military settings for many years. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Naval Criminal Investigative Service, for example, use these subject matter experts both as individuals and in teams or behavioral science units. In this chapter, we address some of these issues and describe the legal parameters and ethical standards that exist for psychologists providing behavioral science consultation to interrogation and debriefing operations. Relevant Geneva Convention protocols, federal policy guidelines (including congressional), and DoD policies are reviewed. In this chapter, we build on the literature already available in the law enforcement arena, including the practices of police psychologists, and present several potential ethical dilemmas that might arise when supporting these types of activities. The scenarios are discussed in the context of legal parameters, doctrinal and policy guidance, and the APA (2010) 'Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.'

AB - Operational psychologists are often involved in developing and staffing assessment and selection programs for personnel involved in high-risk operational missions. Operational psychology support for assessment and selection programs may include the design and development of assessment and selection processes and procedures as well as research and validation studies of assessment and selection methods and decisions based on real-world operational outcomes. Our goal in this chapter is to highlight some of the ethical challenges facing operational psychologists who engage in the assessment and selection of high-risk operational personnel. In this chapter, we specifically address ethical issues in the areas of competency, such as the qualifications and experience required to engage in the assessment and selection of high-risk operational personnel, informed consent, and limits of confidentiality and privacy. We also discuss professional responsibilities and provide some guidelines for the ethical practice of assessment and selection for high-risk operational personnel. However, we first begin by introducing and briefly reviewing some of the legal issues of relevance to any psychologist involved in personnel selection. A detailed discussion of the legal challenges in personnel selection is beyond the scope of this chapter.

AB - Operational psychology is an evolving psychology specialty that provides a conceptual framework for the varied roles and responsibilities of military and government psychologists, in support of national security, public safety, and corrections. To provide a more inclusive definition of this emerging field, in this book, we provide an updated definition of operational psychology as the application of the science and profession of psychology to the operational activities of law enforcement, national intelligence organizations, and national defense activities.The continuously expanding use of operational psychologists in support of police activities and military operations, as in wars over the past century has expanded the scope and functions of psychologists. This expansion of roles includes assessment, selection, certification, training, profiling, and other professional activities, including consultation to interrogations and counterintelligence operations. These increasing roles and responsibilities, which draw on the expertise of psychologists, have not been without critics. Both the expanded roles and the criticisms have served as an important impetus to more clearly and explicitly define the field and provide an ethical framework within which operational psychologists can perform their professional duties. Operational psychology has its origins in the development and application of psychological principles to the issues; roles; responsibilities; and questions of relevance to national security, national intelligence, and law enforcement activities. Operational psychologists must also be interdisciplinary in their scope of activities, often drawing on such diverse disciplines as anthropology, sociology, military science, political science, and international law.

AB - In the late 1990s, a number of psychologists who supported national security programs would meet monthly to collaboratively discuss program and research initiatives. The need for psychologists to remain focused on a professional and ethical practice of psychology in support of national security operations was a frequent topic of those meetings. Thus, the meetings often served as professional peer consultations in a practice domain that has come to be known as operational psychology. Various potential and real ethical conflicts related to the practice of psychology in support of national security missions were addressed in those meetings. Many of those discussions serve as the foundational impetus for this book. It also goes without saying that the dramatic increase in relevance and practice of operational psychologists in a post-9/11 world reinforces the need to bring that foundation into a structure of practice. This volume is intended to help frame that structure and guide those operational psychologists, who now face a vast array of complex challenges around the world. It is our intention that this volume provide firsthand knowledge about the key areas of operational psychological practice and the ethical analysis needed to operate in this relatively uncharted territory.

Pedometers were worn on the hips of 4 trainees in each of 10 BCT companies during all BCT activities. Investigators obtained pedometer readings (steps) on a daily basis, and estimated travel distances were obtained by multiplying steps by the average individual step length. A short questionnaire was administered daily to assure trainees wore the pedometers and trained with their companies all day. Trainees performed an average +/- SD of 16 311 +/- 5826 steps/day and traveled an estimated 11.7 +/- 4.4 kilometers/day. The highest daily locomotor activity was during the field training exercise in which trainees took an average +/- SD of 22 372 +/- 12 517 steps/day traveling an estimated 16.2 +/- 9.7 kilometers/day. Differences among the 10 companies ranged from 14 720 +/- 6649 steps/day to 18 729 +/- 6328 steps/day. This survey provided the first examination of locomotor physical activity during an entire BCT cycle.

Fifteen athletes and seventeen nonathletes volunteered for the study. FFM was measured by two-compartment densitometry. Contiguous magnetic resonance imaging was used to obtain images from the first cervical vertebrae to the ankle joint (no inter-slice gap) for each subject, and SM, liver and kidney cross-sectional areas and organ-tissue volumes were determined. Organ-tissue volumes (cm3) were converted to mass (kg) by multiplying the volumes by the assumed constant density of the tissues. On average, athletes had greater FFM (69.1 kg) than the nonathletes (52.6 kg). SM, liver, and kidney masses in athletes (33.0 kg, 1.84 kg and 0.39 kg, respectively) were higher compared with nonathletes (23.5 kg, 1.39 kg and 0.31 kg, respectively). When the various determinants of FFM were expressed as ratios, it was determined that the ratio of SM mass to FFM was higher in athletes (47.7 %) than nonathletes (44.7 %), and the ratios of liver and kidney to FFM were similar for the two groups (2.6 % and 0.6 %, respectively, for athletes; and 2.7 % and 0.6 %, respectively, for nonathletes). A strong correlation between FFM and SM mass was observed in athletes and nonathletes and the slopes of these regression lines were almost identical and parallel. FFM was also significantly correlated with liver and kidney mass for both athletes and nonathletes. This study suggests that SM, liver, and kidney masses are increased by FFM accumulation in resistance and/or high intensity trained athletes.

M. Ward, Bruce A. Schoneboom and Ada Sue Hinshaw (Military Medicine, 2014[May], Vol 179[5], 565-572). In the original article, there was an error in the list of authors. The names appear correctly in this erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2014-31889-010[/rid]). Objectives: The U.S. health care system is facing a projected nursing shortage of unprecedented magnitude. Although military nursing services recently have been able to meet their nursing recruitment quotas, national studies have predicted a long-term nursing shortage that may affect future recruitment for the Nurse Corps of the three military services. Data are needed to plan for recruitment incentives and the impact of those incentives on targeted populations of likely future nurses. Methods: Data are drawn from three online surveys conducted in 2011-2012, including surveys of 1,302 Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel serving on major military bases, 914 nursing students at colleges with entry Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs located nearby major military bases, and a qualitative survey of 1,200 young adults, age 18-39, in the general public. Findings: The three populations are different in several demographic characteristics. We explored perceptions of military careers, nursing careers and barriers, and incentives to pursue military nursing careers in all populations. Perceptions differ among the groups. Conclusion: The results of this study may help to inform strategies for reaching out to specific populations with targeted messages that focus on barriers and facilitators relevant to each to successfully recruit a diverse Nurse Corps for the future.

Phosphorus reductions of oxidants such as the halogens, mercury, and copper have long intrigued chemists because of the unusual rate equation these reactions exhibit. The rate equation is zero order in oxidant concentration except when oxidant concentration is much lower than phosphorus concentration; then, the dependence on oxidant concentration is like that of the Langmuir isotherm. The rate equation is also autocatalytic in and can be auto-inhibitory in oxidant product. The mechanism invoked to explain this interesting rate equation is called the Mitchell mechanism, after an English chemist of the early 20th century. Investigators following in Mitchell's footsteps noted other shortcomings. Consider the reduction of iodine by phosphorus(I) (hypophosphorous acid). One of the shortcomings in Mitchell's treatment was that he did not account for general acid catalysis of the reaction, including that of one of the products, phosphorus.

The Department of Defense (DoD) offers a robust prescription benefit to 8.8 million beneficiaries. This benefit has evolved to meet changes in technology and patient requirements. The PharmacoEconomic Center (PEC) was established as the first pharmacy benefit manager entity in 1992, primarily in response to rapidly rising DoD pharmacy program expenditures. In its short history, the PEC has dramatically improved patient safety and decreased costs. To accelerate the efficiency and effectiveness the enterprise-wide pharmacy benefit manager has already achieved, DoD should increase the funding, staff, and authority of the PEC.

We propose that moral potency is a critical factor in developing leaders who have the conation to act on their moral judgments and behave as leaders of character. Furthermore, we offer a new measure and preliminary findings across 2 studies to assess the dimensions of moral potency. Finally, we offer suggestions for developing moral potency and each of its components, as well as suggestions for future avenues for research and practice.

AB - This series of experiments tested the assimilation and efficacy of tactile messages that were created based on five common military arm and hand signals. We compared the response times and accuracy rates for these tactile representations against responses to equivalent visual representations of the same messages. Experimentally, such messages were displayed in either tactile or visual forms alone, or using both modalities in combination. There was a performance benefit for concurrent message presentations, which showed superior response times and improved accuracy rates when compared with individual presentations in either modality alone. Such improvement was due largely to a reduction in premotor response time. These improvements occurred equally in military and nonmilitary samples. Potential reasons for this multimodal facilitation are discussed. On a practical level, these results confirm the utility of tactile messaging to augment visual messaging, especially in challenging and stressful environments where visual messaging is not feasible or effective.

Copyright Statement: Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. 2010. AB - Objective: This article reviews instructional features used in demonstration-based training (DBT). Background: The need for fast and effective training and performance support that can be accessed from anywhere is a growing need for organizations. DBT programs are one method to address these needs, but a better understanding of how to maximize the effectiveness of DBT activities is needed. Specifically, beyond the content of the demonstration (i.e., the dynamic example of task performance), what instructional features (i.e., information and activities in addition to the demonstration) can be used to improve the effectiveness of DBT interventions? Method: The authors conducted a systematic review of the applied and basic science literatures relevant to DBT. Results: Instructional features in DBT can be categorized according to the degree to which they encourage active learner involvement (i.e., active vs. passive), when they occur relative to viewing the demonstration (i.e., pre-, during-, and postdemonstration conditions), and the observational learning process they are intended to augment. Five categories of instructional features are described: passive guidance or support, preparatory activities, concurrent activities, retrospective activities, and prospective activities. Conclusion: There is a wide variety of instructional features used in DBT, but more systematic research is needed to understand the conditions under which each is most effective as well as to outline a method for sequencing of demonstration with other delivery methods, such as practice opportunities. Application: The framework presented in this article can help guide the systematic development of training systems incorporating DBT as well as provide a direction for future research.

AB - In recent years, several practice guidelines have appeared to inform clinical work in the assessment and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. Although there is a high level of consensus across these documents, there are also areas of apparent difference that may lead to confusion among those to whom the guidelines are targeted—providers, consumers, and purchasers of mental health services for people affected by trauma. The authors have been responsible for developing guidelines across three continents (North America, Europe, and Australia). The aim of this article is to examine the various guidelines and to compare and contrast their methodologies and recommendations to aid clinicians in making decisions about their use.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The present study extended the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model (Siegrist, 1996b), first by differentiating between separate reward components, second by including intrinsic reward, and third by additionally predicting a non-health outcome (i.e., turnover intention) in a military context. Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed.

AB - The U.S. Army has focused on developing leader competencies in order to promote adaptability for asymmetric warfare. Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure.

AB - The present experiments examined whether readers spontaneously simulate implied auditory elements of sentences. Participants read sentences that implicitly conveyed details that could provoke auditory imagery (e.g., The engine clattered as the truck driver warmed up his rig.), and then performed an unrelated sound categorization task during which they classified sounds as real (occurring in the world) or fake (computer generated). In Experiment 1 these two tasks were performed in sequence; in Experiment 2 they were separated into three experimental blocks to rule out the possibility that readers strategically formed auditory imagery as a result of task demands. In both studies, readers were faster to correctly categorize sounds as ‘real’ when the sounds had been implied by a preceding sentence. These results suggest that readers mentally simulate the implied auditory characteristics of sentences, even in the absence of tasks that promote mental simulation. Mentally simulating described events is not limited to visual and action-based modalities, further demonstrating the multimodal nature of the perceptual symbols spontaneously activated during reading.

Issue Publication Date: Oct, 2010. Copyright Statement: The Authors. 2010. AB - The current article presents a systematic approach to theory pruning (defined here as hypothesis specification and study design intended to bound and reduce theory). First, we argue that research that limits theory is underrepresented in the organizational sciences, erring overwhelmingly on the side of confirmatory null hypothesis testing. Second, we propose criteria for determining comparability, deciding when it is appropriate to test theories or parts of theories against one another. Third, we suggest hypotheses or questions for testing competing theories. Finally, we revisit the spirit of ‘‘strong inference.’’ We present reductionist strategies appropriate for the organizational sciences, which extend beyond traditional approaches of 'critical' comparisons between whole theories. We conclude with a discussion of strong inference in organizational science and how theory pruning can help in that pursuit.

Methods: Eight males (21.4 +/- 0.7 yr; 176.2 +/- 1.6 cm; 75.2 +/- 3.7 kg; 63.7 +/- 3.6 mL.kg-1.min-1 VO2max, 9.0 +/- 1.7 % fat) participated in three randomized trials. Each trial consisted of a 75-min dehydration phase (36 degrees C; 42.5 % rh, 47 +/- 0.9 % VO2max) where subjects lost 1.7 L (IV and no-fluid (NF) trials) to 1.8 L of fluid (ORAL trial). In the heat, fluid lost was matched with 0.45 % saline in 20 min by either IV or ORAL rehydration; no fluid was given in the NF trial. Subjects then performed a heat-tolerance test (HTT; 37.0 degrees C, 45 % rh, treadmill speed of 2.4 ms-1, 2.3 % grade) for 75 min or until exhaustion (Tre of 39.5 degrees C). During the HTT, thermal and thirst sensations, RPE, rectal temperature (Tre), heart rate (HR), and mean weighted skin temperature (Tsk) were measured. Results: Plasma volume in the IV treatment was greater (P < 0.05) after rehydration compared with ORAL and NF. However, during the HTT there were no overall differences (P > 0.05) in HR, Tre, Tsk, RPE, thermal sensations, or HTT time (ORAL, 71 +/- 8 min; IV, 73 +/- 5 min; NF, 39 +/- 29 min) between the ORAL and IV treatments. Sensations of thirst were lower (P < 0.05) in ORAL compared with IV and NF, likely because of oropharyngeal stimuli. Conclusions: Despite a more rapid restoration of plasma volume, IV rehydration was not advantageous over ORAL rehydration in regards to physiological strain, heat tolerance, RPE, or thermal sensations.

Design: Single-group repeated measures for interrater reliability. Setting: Outpatient physical therapy clinic. Participants: Twenty-two patients with mechanical neck pain underwent a standardized history and physical examination by a physical therapist. Intervention: Following a 5-minute break, a second therapist who was blind to the findings of examiner 1 performed the second standardized history and physical examination. Main Outcome Measures: The Cohen ? and weighted ? were used to calculate the interrater reliability of ordinal level data from the history and physical examination. Intraclass correlation coefficients model 2,1 (ICC2,1) and the 95 % confidence intervals were calculated to determine the interrater reliability for continuous variables. Results: The ? coefficients ranged from -.06 to .90 for the variables obtained from the history. Reliability values for categorical data collected during the physical examination ranged from no to substantial agreement depending on the particular test and measure. ICC2,1 for cervical range of motion (ROM) measurements ranged between .66 and .78. Conclusions: We have reported the interrater reliability of the history and physical examination in a group of patients with a primary report of neck pain. The reliability variables varied considerably for manual assessment techniques and were significantly higher for the examination of muscle length and cervical ROM. Ultimately, it will be up to each clinician to determine if a particular test or measure poses adequate reliability to assist in the clinical decision making process.

Background: A 21-year-old healthy athletic male military cadet with complaint of worsening diffuse left knee pain was evaluated 4 days after onset. The knee pain began 2 hours after completing a long car trip, worsened over the subsequent 3 days, and became almost unbearable during the return trip. The patient reported constant pain, limited knee motion, and difficulty ambulating. In addition, he was unable to perform physical military training or attend academic classes due to the severe left knee pain. Past medical history revealed a mild left lateral calf strain 21/2 weeks prior, which completely resolved within 24 hours of onset. Diagnosis: Our physical examination led us to either monoarticular arthritis, pseudothrombophlebitis (ruptured Baker's cyst), or a lower leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as the cause of knee pain. Diagnostic imaging of this patient revealed a left superficial femoral vein thrombosis and popliteal DVT, with bilateral pulmonary emboli (PE). Discussion: A systematic differential diagnosis was undertaken to rule out a potentially fatal DVT diagnosis as the cause of knee pain, despite minimal DVT risk factors. The physical therapist in a direct-access setting must ensure timely evaluation and referral of a suspected DVT, even when patient demographics cause the practitioner to question the likelihood of this diagnosis. The physical examination findings, clinical suspicion, and established clinical prediction rules can accurately dictate the appropriate referral action necessary.

Methods: Sixteen physically fit males (25 +/- 5 yr; 77.8 +/- 8.5 kg) performed an incremental test to maximal exertion on a cycle ergometer at sea level (SL). Subjects were then matched on VO2peak, ventilatory chemosensitivity, and body mass and assigned to either a placebo (PL) or antioxidant (AO) supplement group in a randomized, double-blind manner. PL or AO (12 mg of beta-carotene, 180 mg of alpha-tocopherol acetate, 500 mg of ascorbic acid, 100 mug of selenium, and 30 mg of zinc daily) were taken 21 d prior to and for 14 d at HA. During HA, subjects participated in an exercise program designed to achieve an energy deficit of approximately 1400 kcal[middle dot]d-1. VT was reassessed on the second and ninth days at HA (HA2, HA9). Results: Peak power output (Wpeak) and VO2peak decreased (28 %) in both groups upon acute altitude exposure (HA2) and were unchanged with acclimatization and exercise (HA9). Power output at VT (WVT) decreased from SL to HA2 by 41 % in PL, but only 32 % in AO (P < 0.05). WVT increased in PL only during acclimatization (P < 0.05) and matched AO at HA9. Similar results were found when VT was expressed in terms of % Wpeak and % VO2peak. Conclusions: VT decreases upon acute HA exposure but improves with acclimatization. Prior AO supplementation improves VT upon acute, but not chronic altitude exposure.

Methods: Seven healthy men (28 +/- 6 yr, mean +/- SD) performed submaximal intermittent static knee contractions interspersed with maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) every minute to exhaustion (approximately 50 % of rested MVC force) in normoxia and hypobaric hypoxia (separated by 3 d) after supplementation with Cr (20 g.d-1 for 7 d then 5 g.d-1 for 4-7 d) or placebo (Pla) in a double-blind, randomized crossover study. A 5-wk period without supplementation separated treatments. Each test day, subjects performed two bouts (separated by 2 min) at their preset submaximal force, 32 +/- 4 % rested MVC). Results: Rested MVC force (860 +/- 66 N) and MVC force at exhaustion (396 +/- 27 N; 47 +/- 3 % rested MVC) did not differ among treatments or environments (P > 0.05). For bout 1, endurance time was shorter in hypobaria (26 +/- 3 min) than normoxia (34 +/- 2 min) (P < 0.01), but did not differ between Cr (27 +/- 3 min) and Pla (33 +/- 3 min) (P > 0.05). MVC force returned to similar levels (P >0.05) in bout 2 after recovery in all four sessions (to approximately 615 N). For bout 2, endurance time also was shorter in hypobaria (7 +/- 1 min) than normoxia (9 +/- 1 min) (P < 0.03) but did not differ between Cr and Pla (P > 0.05). Conclusion: This study, which used an exercise model designed to impose the same target contraction force under all experimental conditions, found no effect of Cr on maximal force, muscle endurance, or recovery in normoxia or hypobaric hypoxia.

We studied 8,162 participants and nonparticipants in a managed-care fitness-program benefit: a structured group exercise program or an unstructured health-club membership. Participants in both programs lived significantly closer to facilities than nonparticipants did (structured, p < .001; unstructured, p = .017). Participants living closer to unstructured-program sites attended more frequently than those farther away (p = .008). Distance was not correlated with frequency of use in the structured program (p = .49). Collectively, these analyses demonstrate that distance is related to uptake and, in some cases, continued use of a fitness-program benefit. Health systems providing fitness-program benefits as a way to increase physical activity levels of their plan members should consider location of program facilities in relation to members' home addresses to maximize use of the benefit.

Methods: Eight active males completed two passive heat exposure trials (180 min, 45 degrees C, 50 % rh) with (EUH) and without (HYP) fluid replacement. A single 15-s Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) was used to assess anaerobic performance (peak power, mean power, and fatigue index) before (-180 min) and again at three time points after passive heat exposure to include immediately (0 min), 30 min, and 60 min after in a temperate environment (22 degrees C). Rectal temperature (T,) was measured throughout the experiment. Results: HYP reduced body mass (2.7 +/- 0.7 %) (P < 0.05) but had no effect on any WAnT performance measure. Passive heat exposure elicited moderate hyperthermia in both trials (EUH: 0.6 degrees C; HYP: 1.0 degrees C) and returned to baseline within 30-60 min following similar decay curves. HYP T. remained higher (0.4 degrees C) than EUH throughout testing (P < 0.05), but moderate hyperthermia itself produced no independent effect on anaerobic exercise performance in either trial. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that neither moderate HYP nor the moderate hyperthermia accompanying HYP by passive heat exposure affect anaerobic exercise performance in a temperate environment.

Men and women completed the same physical tasks. Purpose: To characterize and compare the total energy expenditure (TEE) and core temperature responses in men and women working almost continuously for 2.25 d in an outdoor environment while developing a substantial energy deficit. Methods: TEE was measured using doubly labeled water (D218O). Energy intake was estimated using beverage diaries and collecting ration wrappers saved by each volunteer and adding the known caloric value of each food item consumed. Core temperature was measured using an ingested thermometer pill. Physical activity level (PAL) was calculated by dividing TEE by the calculated basal metabolic rate. Results: TEE was higher (P < 0.001) for the men (25.7 MJ.d-1) than women (19.8 MJ.d-1), but there were no differences between men and women in TEE normalized to body mass (men, 0.35 +/- 0.05 MJ.d-1.kg-1; women, 0.34 +/- 0.06 MJ.d-1.kg-1), corrected body mass (men, 0.29 +/- 0.04 MJ.d-1.kg-1 corrected body mass; women, 0.27 +/- 0.04 MJ.d-1.kg-1 corrected body mass), fat-free mass (men, 0.41 +/- 0.07 MJ.d-1.kg FFM-1; women, 0.46 +/- 0.07 MJ.d-1.kg FFM-1), or corrected fat-free mass (men, 0.30 +/- 0.05 MJ.d-1.kg-1 corrected body mass; women, 0.30 +/- 0.04 0.30 +/- 0.05 MJ.d-1.kg-1 corrected body mass). PAL was the same for men (3.4 +/- 0.5) and women (3.3 +/- 0.4). Energy intakes were higher (P < 0.05) in men (6.0 +/- 2.0 MJ.d-1) than women (4.8 +/- 1.8 MJ.d-1). The average minimum core temperature was 36.0 +/- 0.4 degrees C, and the mean maximum core temperature was 38.5 +/- 0.3 degrees C. Conclusions: For both men and women, total energy expenditures were among the highest observed for a military FEX. TEE, when normalized or corrected to body mass and fat-free mass, and PAL were the same for men and women.

Using water clarity as a measure of the degree of eutrophication levels (as a lake becomes inundated with nutrients, water clarity decreases markedly), analysis is performed on sales data collected over a six-year period. Our results indicate that water clarity has a significant effect on prices paid for residential properties. Effects of a one-meter change in clarity on property value are also estimated for an average lake in four real estate market areas in New Hampshire, with effects differing substantially by area. Our findings provide state and local policy makers a measure of the cost of water quality degradation as measured by changes in water clarity, and demonstrate that protecting water quality may have a positive effect on property tax revenues.

In a dambo dominated by grasses, egg survival was 3.3% after burning compared with 43.8% in a similar dambo that was not burned. In a dambo dominated by sedges, egg survival was 0.7% after burning compared with 28.5% in a similar dambo that was not burned. Mortality of mosquito eggs appeared to be caused by high temperatures associated with the fire and not elapsed time since egg survival did not decrease with time after burning.

The purpose of this study was to determine the architecture and equipment (radiographic and computer network) for establishing and supporting an enterprise's vast digital dental radiographic program. Two panels of subject matter experts identified the needs for a digital dental radiography system; one expert panel consisted of dentists while the other panel's members were information management/information technology (IM/IT) experts. Panelists rated digital dental radiography needs using descriptive statistics and a 7-point bipolar scale. Among dentists, the four most important needs were the capability to store images, image appearance, centralized image storage, and a dedicated back-up server; among IM/IT panelists, they were ensuring HIPAA compliance, use of a standard formatting procedure, excellent print quality, and use of encryption for data transmission. This study's findings are useful for any organization seeking to initiate or improve its own digital radiography program.

The Carnegie International Survey of the Academic Profession is employed to compare teaching and research activities in eight countries. These countries include the former West Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden, The United States, Australia, Israel, Japan, and South Korea. Findings reveal that teaching and research are not mutually exclusive activities in the work/life of faculty. Research oriented faculty are more likely to view their research commitments as being competitive with teaching. Research is found to positively affect teaching, but attributes of teaching (e.g., course load, student demand, etc.) negatively impact research. In addition, the paper finds academic orientation and the number of articles published during the past three years to be the most important factors in determining the number of weekly hours spent on research and teaching activities.

To this end, the present inquiry examines the stability of various university performance indicators representing size, student aptitude, faculty scholarship, graduate programs, and ratings. Although these various institutional attributes are associated with status, changes in their characteristics are not found to be associated with changes in status. Instead, institutional status is found to be quite stable over time, largely predicated on past status levels. These findings offer a forum within which to discuss university status for the purpose of managing institutional change.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2010/03/15/ VL - 192 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 27 SN - 00219193 AB - To gain insights into the origin and genome evolution of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis, we have sequenced the deep-rooted strain Angola, a virulent Pestoides isolate. Its ancient nature makes this atypical isolate of particular importance in understanding the evolution of plague pathogenicity. Its chromosome features a unique genetic make-up intermediate between modern Y. pestis isolates and its evolutionary ancestor, Y. pseudotuberculosis. Our genotypic and phenotypic analyses led us to conclude that Angola belongs to one of the most ancient Y. pestis lineages thus far sequenced. The mobilome carries the first reported chimeric plasmid combining the two species-specific virulence plasmids. Genomic findings were validated in virulence assays demonstrating that its pathogenic potential is distinct from modern Y. pestis isolates. Human infection with this particular isolate would not be diagnosed by the standard clinical tests, as Angola lacks the plasmid-borne capsule, and a possible emergence of this genotype raises major public health concerns. To assess the genomic plasticity in Y. pestis, we investigated the global gene reservoir and estimated the pangenome at 4,844 unique protein-coding genes. As shown by the genomic analysis of this evolutionary key isolate, we found that the genomic plasticity within Y. pestis clearly was not as limited as previously thought, which is strengthened by the detection of the largest number of isolate-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) currently reported in the species. This study identified numerous novel genetic signatures, some of which seem to be intimately associated with plague virulence. These markers are valuable in the development of a robust typing system critical for forensic, diagnostic, and epidemiological studies.

SF-qualified (n=119) and non-SF, support soldiers (n=38) were included in the study between November 1999 and July 2000. Most soldiers (87%) reported current supplement us,e with more SF (90%) than non-SF, support soldiers (76%) using supplements (p≤0.05). SF soldiers reported using mostly multivitamins, sports bars/drinks, and vitamin C. The mean nutrition knowledge score for all soldiers was 48.5±15.2% correct responses. Most soldiers incorrectly believe protein is used for energy for short-term athletic events (64%) and that vitamins provide energy (58%).

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Military training exercises are conducted routinely in the Mojave Desert in California, USA. To determine whether assignment in this desert environment increases the risk of respiratory diseases, hospitalization rates were compared between two matched cohorts of soldiers during three follow-up intervals over a 10-year surveillance period. The exposed cohort (n=21 543) included all soldiers who were ever assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. The control cohort (n=86 172) included soldiers matched on demographic characteristics who were never assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. Three follow-up intervals ("before", "during" and "after") were defined relative to the period when exposed soldiers were assigned to the desert. Rates of respiratory hospitalizations were similar between the cohorts for the "before" and "during" intervals, but were higher in the exposed cohort for the "after" interval (rate ratio, 1.30; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.59). This difference was largely attributed to excess pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations in the exposed cohort. Healthy, young adults may have increased susceptibility to respiratory infectious diseases after prolonged exposure to desert environments.

The authors measured heptachlor epoxide and oxychlordane - the body storage forms of estrogenic insecticides - in the sera of patients with major burns (i.e., 7 survivors and 10 age- and burn-size-matched nonsurvivors) on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11 after they had been burned, as well as in 12 age-matched normal controls. During the hypermetabolic phase, serum concentrations of heptachlor epoxide and oxychlordane were greater in nonsurvivors than in controls, and heptachlor epoxide concentrations in nonsurvivors exceeded those in survivors on postburn day 5. The postburn alterations in heptachlor epoxide and oxychlordane concentrations could not be accounted for by changes in concentrations of circulating lipid. These findings, which indicate that xenoestrogens are released from fat depots after thermal injury, suggest a possible contribution to mortality, especially in older patients.

Subject Subsets: Poultry; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - Specific mutations associated with attenuation of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus in rodent models were identified during efforts to develop an improved VEE vaccine. Analogous mutations were produced in full-length cDNA clones of the Cba 87 strain of western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus by site-directed mutagenesis in an attempt to develop an improved WEE vaccine. Isogenic viral strains with these mutations were recovered after transfection of baby hamster kidney cells with infectious RNA. We evaluated two of these strains (WE2102 and WE2130) for their ability to replicate in and be transmitted by Culex tarsalis, the principal natural vector of WEE virus in the United States. Each of the vaccine candidates contained a deletion of the PE2 furin cleavage site and a secondary mutation in the E1 or E2 glycoprotein. Both of these potential candidates replicated in mosquitoes significantly less efficiently than did either wild-type WEE (Cba 87) virus or the parental clone (WE2000). Likewise, after intrathoracic inoculation, mosquitoes transmitted the vaccine candidate strains significantly less efficiently than they transmitted either the wild-type or the parental clone. One-day-old chickens vaccinated with either of the two vaccine candidates did not become viremic when challenged with virulent WEE virus two weeks later. Mutations that result in less efficient replication in or transmission by mosquitoes should enhance vaccine safety and reduce the possibility of accidental introduction of the vaccine strain to unintentional hosts.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Forty-four Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Bangladesh and 22 from western Thailand were successfully tested for their drug susceptibility. High degrees of resistance were observed against chloroquine with geometric mean IC50s of 114.25 120.5 nM, respectively, for Bangladesh and western Thailand. Most isolates from both sites were sensitive to quinine, and all were sensitive to artesunate. Many isolates were considered in vitro resistant to mefloquine, but the geometric mean IC50 for the Thai isolates (98.79 nM) was 1.6 times (P=0.002) higher than that of isolates from Bangladesh (60.3 nM). The high prevalence of in vitro mefloquine resistance in Bangladesh suggests that close surveillance is necessary to delay widespread multidrug resistant problems in the area.

Heatstroke is associated with systemic complications and a high mortality rate if not recognized early. Control of risk factors is key to the prevention of heatstroke. Since there are no clear ergogenic benefits in using ephedra alone, clinicians and military commanders should strongly discourage the use of ephedra-containing substances in active duty soldiers undergoing strenuous exercise.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The purported health benefits of low-carbohydrate diets have been advocated intermittently over the last century and have enjoyed increasing popularity over the last decade. Although most revolve around the emphatic theme that carbohydrates are to blame for many chronic diseases, their specific ideologies are more variable and in some cases quite sophisticated. The Zone Diet phenomenon represents a new generation of modern low carbohydrate food fad with sales placing it among the most popular diet books in recent history. The Zone is a 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein and 30% fat eating plan that advocates only sparing use of grains and starches. The precise 0.75 protein to carbohydrate ratio required with each meal is promoted to reduce the insulin to glucagon ratio, which purportedly affects eicosanoid metabolism and ultimately produces a cascade of biological events leading to a reduction in chronic disease risk, enhanced immunity, maximal physical and mental performance, increased longevity and permanent weight loss. There is presently little scientific support for the connections made between diet, endocrinology and eicosanoid metabolism. In fact, a review of the literature suggests that there are scientific contradictions in the Zone Diet hypothesis that cast unquestionable doubt on its potential efficacy. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the scientific merit of the Zone Diet and its health claims in an effort to help delineate what is and what is not sound nutrition science.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 38 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health N2 - We used a nested PCR with Borrelia flagellin gene (flaB) primers and DNA sequencing to determine if Borrelia lonestari was present in Amblyomma americanum ticks removed from military personnel and sent to the Tick-Borne Disease Laboratory of the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine. In our preliminary investigation, we detected Borrelia sequences in 19 of 510 A. americanum adults and nymphs from Ft. A. P. Hill, Va. During the 2001 tick season, the flaB primers were used to test all A. americanum samples as they were received, and 29 of 2,358 A. americanum samples tested individually or in small pools were positive. PCRs with 2,146 A. americanum samples in 2002 yielded 26 more Borrelia-positive samples. The positive ticks in 2001 and 2002 were from Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The last positive sample of the 2001 season was a pool of larvae. To further investigate larval infection, we collected and tested questing A. americanum larvae from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.; 4 of 33 pools (40 larvae per pool) were positive. Infection of unfed larvae provides evidence of the maintenance of B. lonestari by means of transovarial transmission. Sequence analysis revealed that the amplicons were identical to sequences of the B. lonestari flaB gene in GenBank. Despite the low prevalence of infection, the risk of B. lonestari transmission may be magnified because A. americanum is often abundant and aggressive, and many tick bite victims receive multiple bites.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - In the winter of 1998-1999 an outbreak of pneumococcal pneumonia occurred among Ranger students undergoing high-intensity training. Thirty pneumonia cases (attack rate=12.6%) were identified among a group of 239 students. Eighteen students were hospitalized; Streptococcus pneumoniae-positive cultures were detected in 11 (61.1%) of these 18 hospitalized cases. Pneumococci were also identified in throat swabs of 30 (13.6%) of 221 nonhospitalized students surveyed. Serum antipneumolysin seroconversions were detected in 30 (18.3%) of 164 students tested. An association between development of serum antipneumolysin antibody and pneumococcal pharyngeal carriage/colonization was found. Of 30 seroconverters, eight (26.7%) had S. pneumoniae-positive cultures compared with only 17 (12.7%) of 134 nonseroconverters (relative risks=2.02, 95% confidence interval=1.02-4.02, p=0.05). The outbreak was controlled by administrating low-dose, oral azithromycin prophylaxis (250 mg weekly for 2 weeks) and was associated with a 69% reduction in pneumococcal carriage and a 94% reduction in pneumonia rates.

Captured adult crows were given 0.5 mg of the DNA vaccine either orally or by intramuscular (IM) inoculation; control crows were inoculated or orally exposed to a placebo. After 6 weeks, crows were challenged subcutaneously with 105 plaque-forming units of WNV (New York 1999 strain). None of the placebo inoculated-placebo challenged birds died. While none of the 9 IM vaccine-inoculated birds died, 5 of 10 placebo-inoculated and 4 of 8 orally vaccinated birds died within 15 days after challenge. Peak viraemia titres in birds with fatal WNV infection were substantially higher than those in birds that survived infection. Although oral administration of a single DNA vaccine dose failed to elicit an immune response or protect crows from WNV infection, IM administration of a single dose prevented death and was associated with reduced viraemia.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 25 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - As part of an evaluation of the ecology of arthropod-borne diseases in Korea Republic, we examined 8765 mosquitoes captured in Paju County, Gyonggi Province, Korea Republic for the presence of viruses. Mosquitoes were captured in propane lantern/human-baited Shannon traps, Mosquito Magnet traps, or American Biophysics Corporation miniature light traps with or without supplemental octenol bait and/or dry ice. Mosquitoes were identified to species, placed in pools of up to 40 mosquitoes each, and tested on Vero cells for the presence of virus. A total of 15 virus isolations were made from 293 pools of mosquitoes. Viruses were identified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing, and consisted of 14 isolates of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus and one isolate of Getah (GET) virus. All JE isolates were from Culex tritaeniorhynchus, and the isolate of GET was from Aedes vexans. The minimum field infection rate for JE in C. tritaeniorhynchus was 3.3 per 1000, whereas the GET virus infection rate for A. vexans was 0.2 per 1000. Isolation of JE and GET indicated that both viruses were actively circulating in northern Gyonggi Province. The lack of human cases of JE among the Korean population is probably because of an effective government-mandated vaccination programme. The reason for no cases among >10 000 United States military personnel and others that reside or train nearby is unknown, but may be related to personnel protection measures (permethrin-impregnated uniforms and use of deet repellent), adult mosquito control, mosquito selection of nonhuman hosts (unpublished data), and the low symptomatic to asymptomatic ratio of disease in adults.

Efficacy of the LO was evaluated by determining number of containers with larvae and/or pupae per house and number of adult mosquitoes collected inside each house. In 1999, the LO had a negligible impact on all measures of A. aegypti abundance that were assessed; however, fungal contamination of insecticide-impregnated strips may have been responsible for the low efficacy. In 2000, significant suppression was achieved based on changes in multiple entomologic criteria (containers with larvae, containers with pupae, and number of adult A. aegypti); however, control was not absolute and neither immature nor adult A. aegypti were ever eliminated completely. We conclude that the LO can reduce adult A. aegypti populations in Thailand; however, efficacy of the LO is lower than desired due primarily to the high number of alternative oviposition sites. LO efficacy may be improved when used as part of an integrated control programme that focuses on the reduction of adjacent larval habitats.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - 350 bp segments of the flagellin gene of five isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato were compared to B. burgdorferi B-31 and B. andersonii using polymerase chain reaction and heteroduplex mobility assay. Borrelia andersonii and B. burgdorferi were 99.1% similar in mobility. All of the isolates, MOD-1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, were from one farm in southeastern Missouri; four were isolated from Ixodes dentatus and one (MOD-6) was isolated from Amblyomma americanum. The amplified product of MOD-2 was identical (100%) to B. andersonii, MOD-1 and MOD-3 were very similar (99.8%) to B. andersonii, and MOD-5 was 99.7% similar to B. burgdorferi B-31. MOD-6 was the most divergent of the Missouri isolates from both B-31 (98.5%) and B. andersonii (99.3%). This study demonstrates the usefulness of the heteroduplex mobility assay as a tool for rapidly identifying genetic variation among Borrelia strains.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Microelectrophoresis is a common technique for probing the surface chemistry of the Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst. Results of previous studies of the electrophoretic mobility of C. parvum oocysts in which microelectrophoresis was used are incongruent. In this work we demonstrated that capillary electrophoresis may also be used to probe the surface characteristics of C. parvum oocysts, and we related the surface chemistry of C. parvum oocysts to their stability in water. Capillary electrophoresis results indicated that oocysts which were washed in a phosphate buffer solution had neutrally charged surfaces. Inactivation of oocysts with formalin did not influence their electrophoretic mobility, while oocyst populations that were washed in distilled water consisted of cells with both neutral and negative surface charges. These results indicate that washing oocysts in low-ionic-strength distilled water can impart a negative charge to a fraction of the oocysts in the sample. Rapid coagulation experiments indicated that oocysts did not aggregate in a 0.5 M NaCl solution; oocyst stability in the salt solution may have been the result of Lewis acid-base forces, steric stabilization, or some other factor. The presence of sucrose and Percoll could not be readily identified on the surface of C. parvum oocysts by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, suggesting that these purification reagents may not be responsible for the stability of the uncharged oocysts. These findings imply that precipitate enmeshment may be the optimal mechanism of coagulation for removal of oocysts in water treatment systems. The results of this work may help elucidate the causes of variation in oocyst surface characteristics, may ultimately lead to improved removal efficiencies in full-scale water treatment systems, and may improve fate and transport predictions for oocysts in natural systems.

Language: English. Number of References: 44 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - The ParaSight F test was developed as a pioneer industry effort in the large-scale, process-controlled production of a device for the rapid diagnosis of malaria. This device performed well in field settings but was limited to the detection of a single malaria species, Plasmodium falciparum. The ParaSight F+V assay advanced upon the ParaSight F test format by incorporating a monoclonal antibody directed against a proprietary Plasmodium vivax-specific antigen, in addition to the antibody directed against P. falciparum histidine-rich protein 2, which was used in the ParaSight F assay. The modified assay was developed to add the capability to detect P. falciparum and P. vivax in a single-test-strip format. The present study evaluated three distinct ParaSight F+V prototypes with samples from symptomatic patients in regions of Thailand and Peru where malaria is endemic. Over a 2-year enrollment period (1998 and 1999), a total of 4 894 patients consented to participation in the study. Compared with the results for duplicate microscopic examinations of Giemsa-stained blood smears as the reference diagnostic standard, each successive prototype showed substantial improvement in performance. The final ParaSight F+V prototype, evaluated in 1999, had an overall sensitivity for detection of asexual P. falciparum parasites of 98%. The sensitivity of the device was 100% for P. falciparum densities of >500 parasites/µl, with a sensitivity of 83% for parasite densities of ≤500/µl. The specificity for the exclusion of P. falciparum was 93%. For P. vivax, the overall sensitivity was 87% for the final 1999 prototype. The sensitivities calculated for different levels of P. vivax parasitemia were 99% for parasite densities of >5 000/µl, 92% for parasite densities of 1 001 to 5 000/µl, 94% for parasite densities of 501 to 1 000/µl, and 55% for parasite densities of 1 to 500/µl. The specificity for the exclusion of P. vivax was 87%. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the diagnostic performance of the assay for the detection of P. falciparum and P. vivax were 0.8907 and 0.8522, respectively. These findings indicate that assays for rapid diagnosis have the potential to enhance diagnostic capabilities in those instances in which skilled microscopy is not readily available.

Culex pseudes was highly susceptible to infection with both the IC and IE strains of VEE (infection rates >78%). Patterns of susceptibility to VEE were similar for O. taeniorhynchus collected in Mexico and Honduras. Although, O. taeniorhynchus was highly susceptible to the epizootic IC strains (infection rates ≥95%, n=190), this species was less susceptible to the enzootic IE strain (infection rates ≤35%, n=233). The Culex (Culex) species were refractory to both subtypes of VEE, and none of 166 contained evidence of a disseminated infection. Virus-exposed C. pseudes that refed on susceptible hamsters readily transmitted virus, confirming that this species was an efficient vector of VEE. Although O. taeniorhynchus that fed on hamsters infected with the epizootic IC strain transmitted VEE efficiently, only one of six of those with a disseminated infection with the enzootic IE virus that fed on hamsters transmitted virus by bite. These data indicate that C. pseudes is an efficient laboratory vector of both epizootic and enzootic strains of VEE and that O. taeniorhynchus could be an important vector of epizootic subtypes of VEE.

Human landing/biting (L/B) collection was used as the reference method. The L/B collection method was significantly more effective at capturing A. aegypti than any of the other methods, with 84% (1072/1272), 8.5% (108/1272), 7.2% (92/1272) and 0% (0/1272) of mosquitoes were collected by L/B collection, ODFP, WT and SL, respectively.

Language: English. Number of References: 18 ref. Registry Number: 58-08-2. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Purpose: Navy SEALs (sea, air, land) are elite special warfare units that conduct unconventional warfare primarily in marine environments. Marksmanship accuracy and sighting time were quantified with 62 male trainees during Navy SEAL Hell Week, which involves the combined stress of sleep loss, operational combat scenarios, and cold-wet environmental conditions. Caffeine was administered to minimize deficits due to sleep deprivation. Methods: Volunteers dry-fired a disabled rifle equipped with a laser-based marksmanship simulator system to measure shooting speed and accuracy. The target was a 2.3-cm diameter circle at a distance of 5 m, simulating a 46 cm target at a distance of 50 m. Marksmanship was assessed prior to training, and at 73 and 80 h into Hell Week. Volunteers were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments: 100, 200, or 300 mg of caffeine or a placebo. Dosing occurred 72 h after training commenced. Results: The combined effects of almost 73 h of total sleep deprivation and operational and environmental stress degraded all marksmanship accuracy measures (p<0.05) as shown by the 37.5% increase in percent of targets missed, 38% increase in distance from center of mass of the target, and the 235% increase in shot group tightness. Sighting time increased by 53% or 3.1 s after 73 h of sleep deprivation (p<0.05). Sighting time was significantly faster in sleep deprived individuals after taking 200 or 300 mg of caffeine compared with placebo or 100 mg of caffeine. No differences in accuracy measures between caffeine treatment groups were evident at any test period. Conclusion: During periods of sleep deprivation combined with other stressors, the use of 200 or 300 mg of caffeine enabled SEAL trainees to sight the target and pull the trigger faster without compromising shooting accuracy.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - In May 2000, a dead porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) was found on an infrequently travelled dirt road at Camp Ripley, MN, USA. The presence of late instar Calliphoridae suggested that the porcupine died within the past 4 to 7 d. Adult carrion (Silphidae) and rove (Staphylinidae) beetles were observed under the carcass. In June, a large number of adult American dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis, were observed questing on the porcupine and the surrounding grass. Six zones were established around the carcass, and each zone was sampled for ticks once a month from June through September. Ticks were captured in June and July, and 93% were captured within 2 m of the carcass. Gases released as part of the decomposition process were believed to attract the ticks to the carcass.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency is a common cause of macrocytic anemia and has been implicated in a spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders. The role of B12 deficiency in hyperhomocysteinemia and the promotion of atherosclerosis is only now being explored. Diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency is typically based on measurement of serum vitamin B12 levels; however, about 50 percent of patients with subclinical disease have normal B12 levels. A more sensitive method of screening for vitamin B12 deficiency is measurement of serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels, which are increased early in vitamin B12 deficiency. Use of the Schilling test for detection of pernicious anemia has been supplanted for the most part by serologic testing for parietal cell and intrinsic factor antibodies. Contrary to prevailing medical practice, studies show that supplementation with oral vitamin B12 is a safe and effective treatment for the B12 deficiency state. Even when intrinsic factor is not present to aid in the absorption of vitamin B12 (pernicious anemia) or in other diseases that affect the usual absorption sites in the terminal ileum, oral therapy remains effective.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 16 ref. N2 - Purpose: This study examined the effects of short-term (3.5 d) sustained military operations (SUSOPS) on thermoregulatory responses to cold stress. Methods: Ten men (22.8±1.4 yr) were assessed during a cold-air test (CAT) after a control week (control) and again after an 84-h SUSOPS (sleep=2 h.d-1, energy intake=~1650 kcal.d-1, and energy expenditure=~4500 kcal.d-1). CAT consisted of a resting subject (seminude) being exposed to an ambient temperature ramp from 25°C to 10°C during the initial 30 min of CAT, with the ambient temperature then remaining at 10°C for an additional 150 min. Results: SUSOPS decreased (P<0.05) body weight, % body fat, and fat-free mass by 3.9 kg, 1.6%, and 1.8 kg, respectively. During CAT, rectal temperature decreased to a greater extent (P<0.05) after SUSOPS (0.52±0.09°C) versus control (0.45±0.12°C). Metabolic heat production was lower (P<0.05) after SUSOPS at min 30 (55.4±3.3 W.m-2) versus control (66.9±4.4 W.m-2). Examination of the mean body temperature-metabolic heat production relationship indicated that the threshold for shivering was lower (P<0.05) after SUSOPS (34.8±0.2°C) versus control (35.8±0.2°C). Mean weighted skin temperatures (°C) were lower during the initial 1.5 h of CAT in SUSOPS versus control. Heat debt was similar between trials. Conclusion: These results indicate that sustained (84-h) military operations leads to greater declines in core temperature, due to either a lag in the initial shivering response or heat redistribution secondary to an insulative acclimation.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 21 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The diagnosis of human cases of tularaemia often relies upon the demonstration of an antibody response to Francisella tularensis or the direct culturing of the bacteria from the patient. Antibody response is not detectable until 2 weeks or more after infection, and culturing requires special media and suspicion of tularaemia. In addition, handling live Francisella poses a risk to laboratory personnel due to the highly infectious nature of this pathogen. In an effort to develop a rapid diagnostic assay for tularaemia, we investigated the use of TaqMan 5′ hydrolysis fluorogenic PCR to detect the organism in tissues of infected mice. Mice were infected to produce respiratory tularaemia. The fopA and tul4 genes of F. tularensis were amplified from infected spleen, lung, liver, and kidney tissues sampled over a 5-day period. The samples were analysed using the laboratory-based Applied Biosystems International 7900 and the Smiths Detection-Edgewood BioSeeq, a hand-held portable fluorescence thermocycler designed for use in the field. A comparison of culturing and PCR for detection of bacteria in infected tissues shows that culturing was more sensitive than PCR. However, the results for culture take 72 h, whereas PCR results were available within 4 h. PCR was able to detect infection in all the tissues tested. Lung tissue showed the earliest response at 2 days when tested with the ABI 7900 and in 3 days when tested with the BioSeeq. The results were in agreement between the ABI 7900 and the BioSeeq when presented with the same sample. Template preparation may account for the loss of sensitivity compared to culturing techniques. The hand-held BioSeeq thermocycler shows promise as an expedient means of forward diagnosis of infection in the field.

A registered nurse, registered nurse case manager, and primary care provider formed the patient management team. Approximately 2,500 empanelled patients participated in a pilot program that applied a patient-centered approach to primary care. The pilot tracked outcome measures, which included (1) panel size, (2) access to care, (3) care utilization, (4) continuity of care, (5) nurse and provider productivity, (6) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures, and (7) satisfaction measures. When compared to the standard family practice clinic, the patients in the pilot were able to access the family practice clinic more frequently (p < 0.05), were less seen in the urgent care (p < 0.05), and had a lower no-show rate (p < 0.001) for scheduled appointments. The providers were able to see their own empanelled patients significantly more frequently (p < 0.05) and virtually all Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set markers improved with colon cancer screening, low-density lipoprotein annual exams, low-density lipoprotein control, and breast cancer screening/mammogram being significantly improved over the comparison group (p < 0.05). These results suggest a change in staffing and a focus on patient-centered care can significantly improve outpatient care access and population health maintenance.

An injury prevention strategy began in late 2008 that included: (1) leadership education, (2) leader- ship enforcement of proven methods, and (3) injury surveillance and reporting. Data on FNSI and removal from training for injury were analyzed based on the fiscal year 2006 through 2010 (n = 210,002). For men, FNSI were reduced from 13 to 20 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 8 cases/10,000 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women, FNSI were reduced from 35 to 41 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 18 cases/10,000 recruits per year in 2010 (p < 0.01). For men, removals from training for injury were reduced from 0.8 to 1.1 cases/100 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 0.5 cases/100 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women removal from training for injury was reduced from 2.3 to 2.4 cases/100 recruits (2006-2008) to 1.0 case/100 recruits per years in 2010 (p < 0.01). The time course of the changes suggests that following specific injury prevention methods was effective in reducing injuries.

Objectives: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. Methods: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). Results: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater.

The prevalence of these injuries has compelled the nation and Congress to invest in the development of policies and programs that support evidence-based care for the full continuum of TBI, from mild (otherwise known as concussion) to severe and penetrating brain injuries. Although, the Department of Defense has made great strides in the areas of TBI clinical care, education, and research, there remains a great need to leverage scientific, policy, and clinical advancement to maximize care of the service member. The purpose of this article is to outline the 7 major areas of work currently being undertaken to help advance the field of TBI. The 7 areas include: (1) eliminating undetected mild traumatic brain injury through prompt early diagnosis, (2) ensuring force readiness and addressing cultural barriers, (3) improving collaborations with the Department of Veterans Affairs, other federal agencies, and academic and civilian organizations, (4) improving deployment-related assessments, (5) deploying effective treatments, (6) conducting military-relevant and targeted research, and (7) enhancing information technology systems.

The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of occupants of military motor vehicle (MMV) crashes involving HMMWVs that occurred among deployed U.S. Army Soldiers. Crash-related data were collected from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on MMV crashes among active duty Army personnel between 1999 and 2006. Records for 964 occupants with injuries from HMMWV crashes were analyzed, which represented 52% of the total occupants of MMV crashes. A significant association was observed between injury and engagement in combat, odds ratio 1.49 (1.03, 2.16). The risk of injury was greatest for gunners, odds ratio 2.37 (1.43, 3.92), and injury cost related to the crash was significantly related to prior deployment status (p < 0.001) and role of Soldier in the vehicle (Operator p = 0.005, Gunner p = 0.003). There was also a decrease over time in the number of crashes resulting in injury (p < 0.001). These data support the development of interventions that address the specific risks detailed, including the use of combat simulation training, increased protection for vulnerable positions, and enforcement of safety regulations.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 177 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 930 EP - 938 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - On January 30,2009, nursing staff at a military hospital in Texas reported that single-patient use insulin pens were used on multiple patients. An investigation was initiated to determine if patient-to-patient bloodborne transmission occurred from the practice. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing was offered to patients hospitalized from August 2007 to January 2009 and prescribed insulin pen injections. Virus from HCV-infected patients' sera was sequenced and compared for relatedness. An anonymous survey was administered to nurses. Of 2,113 patients prescribed insulin pen injections, 1,501 (71%) underwent testing; 6 (0.4%) were HIV positive, 6 (0.4%) were hepatitis B surface antigen positive, and 56 (3.7%) had HCV antibody. No viral sequences from 10 of 28 patients with newly diagnosed and 12 of 28 patients with preexisting HCV infection were closely related. Of 54 nurses surveyed, 74% reported being trained on insulin pen use, but 24% believed nurses used insulin pens on more than one patient. We found no clear evidence of bloodborne pathogen transmission. Training of hospital staff on correct use of insulin pens should be prioritized and their practices evaluated.

As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms. This study presents two significant capability findings associated with the future aeromedical evacuation platform and one doctrinal finding associated with medical planning for future brigade operations. The three results follow: (1) Given simplifying assumptions and constraints for a scenario where a future brigade is operating in a 300 x 300² km the zero-risk aircraft ground speed required for the FVL platform is 350 nautical miles per hour (knots); (2) Given these same assumptions and constraints with the future brigade projecting power in a circle of radius 150 km, the zero-risk ground speed required for the FVL platform is 260 knots; and (3) Given uncertain casualty locations associated with future brigade stability and support operations, colocating aeromedical evacuation assets and surgical elements mathematically optimizes the 60-minute set covering problem.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 177 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 840 EP - 844 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - We sought to summarize knee injuries (KI) in the U.S. Active Duty Army (ADA) in terms of absolute numbers, examine current rate trends, and identify ADA who were at increased risk for experiencing a KI. We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) to compute unadjusted and adjusted rates of KI, categorized by the Barell Matrix, within the ADA for the years 2000-2005. During this period, 21 to 25 per 1,000 ADA suffered from KI. The highest yearly rates were observed for knee dislocation and sprains/strains (31 per 1,000 ADA). In ADA with a history of a KI (within 2 years), rates increased nearly tenfold. Elevated KI rates were also seen in ADA with prior upper or lower leg injuries, those >30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

Although braces are recommended for injury prevention purposes, the impact of braces on physical performance is unknown. This study evaluated lace-up ankle braces, worn inside the boots, across three conditions: no brace, unilateral brace, and bilateral brace on the dependent variables of dynamic lower extremity reach and obstacle course performance. Thirty-seven military cadets were tested over 3 days. Ankle bracing had a small effect upon anterior and composite lower extremity reach distances. Bracing had no effect upon obstacle course performance times. Inside-the-boot ankle bracing restricts lower extremity reaching and mildly impacts mobility, however, no restrictions were observed with running, climbing, jumping, or negotiating obstacles. Lace-up ankle braces can be used in conjunction with combat boots to protect the ankle during high-risk activities without having an impact upon tactical movements.

Q fever is a zoonotic infection caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Over 150 confirmed cases have occurred among U.S. military personnel deployed to Iraq since 2007. Acute Q fever is underdiagnosed because of a myriad of possible clinical presentations but typically presents as a flu-like illness. The most common chronic manifestation is endocarditis. Most providers are not familiar with the diagnosis, treatment, or appropriate follow-up of this disease. In order to facilitate the care of patients infected with C. burnetii, the Armed Forces Infectious Diseases Society convened a panel of experts in the field to develop practical guidelines for those caring for infected patients. The recommendations and rationale are reviewed in this article.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 177 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 351 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a common cause of ulcerative lesions and disfiguring scarring among children in Afghanistan. Most lesions occur on the face and are commonly caused by the trypanosome protozoan parasite Leishmania tropica, transmitted by the bite of an infected sandfly (Phlebotomus sergenti). This study compared the effectiveness of a single localized treatment with thermotherapy to 5 days of intralesional administration of Glucantime for the treatment of CL. Three hundred and eighty-two patients with CL were randomly assigned to the two treatment groups and followed for 6 months. The cure rate for the thermotherapy group was 82.5%, compared to 74% in the Glucantime group. The authors concluded that a single localized treatment with thermotherapy was more effective than 5 days of intralesional administration of Glucantime. Additionally, thermotherapy was more cost-effective, with fewer side effects, of shorter duration, and with better patient compliance than intralesional Glucantime.

Methodology needed to be developed to (1) determine the effectiveness of the soft body armor to stop bullet penetration and (2) assess the potential injury from nonpenetrating blunt impacts to the body. Extensive research was performed under the program to develop methodologies to assess soft body armor, including behind-amlor blunt trauma (BABT) evaluation. This methodology is still used today, and it has been applied extensively beyond the original intent. However, the origin of this methodology is not well understood by many researchers in the various fields in which it is being applied because the original documentation is difficult to obtain. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the BABT to offer researchers information about its history and limitations.

When deployed individuals are compared to a nondeployed control group, there is some evidence that deployment may be associated with declines in cognitive functioning. The current study examined cognitive performance before and following deployment in a large sample of active duty military personnel (N = 8,002) who reported no traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognition was assessed using the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics version 4 TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery, a computer-based battery of tests measuring attention, processing speed, and general cognitive efficiency. Pre and postdeployment scores were compared using repeated measures analyses. Although statistically significant differences were observed for all tests (with 5 of 7 tests demonstrating performance improvement), effect sizes were very small for all but 1 test, indicating that performance differences had minimal clinical significance. Likewise, determination of change for individuals using reliable change indices revealed that a very small percentage (<3%) of this presumed healthy sample showed meaningful decline in cognition following deployment. Analyses indicated that despite risks for cognitive decline while in theater, deployment had minimal to no lasting effect on cognition as measured by ANAM4 TBI-Mil upon return from deployment.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2012/02// VL - 177 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 179 EP - 183 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Congress has mandated that the Department of Defense perform screening for concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, on all service members redeploying from Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the retrospective diagnosis of concussion is complicated by the subjective nature of the complaints, overlap of symptoms with other conditions, and the normally rapid recovery of neurocognitive function following a concussive event. One diagnostic and screening test in current use by the Department of Defense is the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM). A team of researchers deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to test the validity of the ANAM for the diagnosis of concussion in the combat environment. Performance by concussed participants on all six ANAM subtests was compared with that of controls. The ANAM appears to have no utility as an individual diagnostic or population screening tool for the detection of neurocognitive dysfunction from a single, uncomplicated concussion when administered 10 or more days following injury. Further studies are required to determine the modalities providing optimal sensitivity and specificity for use as diagnostic or screening tests beyond the first 72-hour acute postinjury period.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of computerized oculomotor vision screening (COVS) in a military population. Oculomotor functions were assessed with COVS and by conventional methods in 20 U.S. military personnel with and 20 without mTBI. The validity of COVS was determined by Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman method or the kappa coefficient. The repeatability of the COVS was assessed with the coefficient of repeatability or the kappa coefficient. The results showed that COVS had high sensitivity and specificity for screening near oculomotor functions. Overall, the COVS showed excellent validity and repeatability for assessing near lateral and vertical phorias, Worth 4 Dot, and fixation, as well as pursuit and saccadic eye movements. Despite the strong Pearson correlation, the Bland-Altman analysis identified minor to moderate discrepancies for both positive and negative fusional vergence and their associated recovery as well as for the monocular accommodative facility measurements. This study demonstrated that non-eye-care professionals may be able to use the COVS as a tool to efficiently screen oculomotor functions in a military population with or without mTBI.

We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have rede­ployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more tax­ing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations.

A theory is offered of image processing during the search and navigation phase of echolocation that uses Doppler frequency shifts. The information in frequency changes across the angle of elevation can be used to generate a three dimensional model of the environment when combined with the timing and the relative amplitude of the returned signals. The mathematics of frequency shifts for an emitter traveling at a large fraction of the velocity of propagation (c) is presented. Reported behavior that can be explained by this phenomenon is discussed.

The objective of this project was to determine the average clinical treatment time needed to correct nondeployable dental conditions using actual treatment times noted in an electronic scheduler. METHODS: The Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic forwarded their daily treatment logs to the Dental Command for each week from November 1, 2002 through February 13, 2003. Clinical treatment times and types of services provided for dental fitness category (DFC) 3 conditions were tracked with the Corporate Dental Application scheduler. RESULTS: The project identified 398 DFC 3 soldiers who were scheduled to receive treatment at the Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic between November 1, 2002 and February 13, 2003. Twenty-three of those soldiers did not receive treatment; therefore, the total sample size was 375. On average, it required 2.2 hours of clinical dental treatment time to make a DFC 3 soldier dentally deployable. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that treating DFC 3 conditions is time-intensive but most DFC 3 soldiers can be treated in approximately 2 hours in an efficient and properly staffed dental clinic. Without proper preventive education and maintenance, these soldiers may develop additional oral disease and may require repeated episodes of increasingly intensive dental treatment.

METHODS: : Patients were US soldiers burned in combat attacks involving explosive devices in Iraq or Afghanistan. During the same wound care session using a within-subject experimental design, 12 patients received half of their severe burn wound cleaning procedure (~6 minutes) with standard of care pharmacologies and half while in VR (treatment order randomized). Three 0 to 10 Graphic Rating Scale pain scores for each of the treatment conditions served as the primary variables. RESULTS: : Patients reported significantly less pain when distracted with VR. 'Worst pain' (pain intensity) dropped from 6.25 of 10 to 4.50 of 10. 'Pain unpleasantness' ratings dropped from 'moderate' (6.25 of 10) to 'mild' (2.83 of 10). 'Time spent thinking about pain' dropped from 76% during no VR to 22% during VR. Patients rated 'no VR' as 'no fun at all' (<1 of 10) and rated VR as 'pretty fun' (7.5 of 10). Follow-up analyses showed VR was especially effective for the six patients who scored 7 of 10 or higher (severe to excruciating) on the 'worst pain' (pain intensity) ratings. CONCLUSIONS: : These preliminary results provide the first evidence from a controlled study that adjunctive immersive VR reduced pain of patients with combat-related burn injuries during severe burn wound debridement. Pain reduction during VR was greatest in patients with the highest pain during no VR. These patients were the first to use a unique custom robot-like arm mounted VR goggle system.

METHODS: : A detailed description of the musculoskeletal combat casualty care statistics, distribution of wounds, and mechanisms of injury incurred by a US Army Brigade Combat Team during 'The Surge' phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom was performed using a centralized casualty database and an electronic medical record system. RESULTS: : Among the 4,122 soldiers deployed, there were 242 musculoskeletal combat wounds in 176 combat casualties. The musculoskeletal combat casualty rate for the Brigade Combat Team was 34.2 per 1,000 soldier combat-years. Spine, pelvis, and long bone fractures comprised 55.9% (33 of 59) of the total fractures sustained in combat. Explosions accounted for 80.7% (142 of 176) of all musculoskeletal combat casualties. Musculoskeletal combat casualty wound incidence rates per 1,000 combat-years were as follows: major amputation, 2.1; minor amputation, 0.6; open fracture, 5.0; closed fracture, 6.4; and soft-tissue/neurovascular injury, 32.8. Among musculoskeletal combat casualties, the likelihood of a gunshot wound causing an open fracture was significantly greater (45.8% [11 of 24]) when compared with explosions (10.6% [15 of 142]) (p = 0.0006). Long bone amputations were more often caused by explosive mechanisms than gunshot wounds. CONCLUSIONS: : A large burden of complex orthopedic injuries has resulted from the combat experience in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This is because of increased enemy reliance on explosive devices, the use of individual and vehicular body armor, and improved survivability of combat-injured soldiers.

Residential housing and wetland data are used to relate the sales price of a property to structural characteristics, neighborhood attributes, and amenities of wetlands and other environmental characteristics. Measures of interest are distance to and size of wetlands, including distance to four different wetland types; open water, emergent vegetation, scrub-shrub, and forested. Other environmental variables include proximity to parks, lakes, streams, and rivers. Results indicate that wetlands influence the value of residential property and that wetlands influence property values differently than other amenities. Increasing the size of the nearest wetland to a residence by one acre increased the residence's value by $24. Similarly, reducing the distance to the nearest wetland by 1,000 feet increased the value by $436. Home values were not influenced by wetland type. .

Of 62,055 mosquitoes identified, 1,384 (2.2%), representing 25 species in 4 genera, were bloodfed. Mosquito bloodmeals were screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay against antisera to humans, bovines, goats, sheep and chickens. Overall, 88% of the bloodmeals tested were identified. Bloodmeals from 5 species of Culex mosquitoes comprised 82% of the number tested. Culex antennatus (36.6%) and Cx. tritaeniorhyncus (33.5%) were the most abundant. All Culex except those of the Cx. univittatus group fed most often on humans. Aedes species fed almost equally on all mammals tested, while species of Anopheles preferred cattle over humans, goats and sheep KW - senegal KW - culex KW - aedes KW - feeding habits KW - mammals KW - rivers KW - comportement alimentaire KW - mammifere KW - cours d'eau KW - habitos alimentarios KW - mamiferos KW - cursos de agua KW - blood-meals UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=US9164740&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Logan, T.M.

Active duty military personnel commonly present with cartilage injuries of the patella and trochlea owing to acute trauma or chronic repetitive injury. The initial treatment for patellofemoral chondral injury is nonoperative modalities to include: rest, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy. Physical therapy predominantly focuses on strengthening the vastus medialis obliquus to improve patellofemoral alignment. Reconstructive cartilage procedures like fresh osteochondral allograft transplant and autologous chondrocyte implantation are used to restore articular congruity and minimize symptoms when nonoperative modalities and common first-line reparative techniques fail. Although there is currently no evidence-based algorithm for the management of cartilage lesions of the patellofemoral joint, there are trends in treatment that help guide the surgeon. The successful outcome of treatment for cartilage lesions depends on recognizing and addressing concomitant pathology with proximal or distal realignment and patellar unloading procedures. Outcomes also depend on appropriate patient selection with his/her commitment to an extended period of rehabilitation and the ability to modify their activities. The active duty patient does not always have the ability to participate in an extended period of rehabilitation and must be treated with the best treatment option that allows an effective return to duty. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review the standard treatment options for chondral lesions of the patellofemoral joint and our preferred treatment options in the active duty patient.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - This study investigated the ability of two endodontic irrigants to eliminate Enterococcus faecalis from dentinal tubules, and whether their antimicrobial action was enhanced by heat. The lumens of disks prepared from extracted bovine roots were infected with E. faecalis and incubated for 72 h. Specimens were then filled with saline, 10% calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), or 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) at 24°C or 46°C and incubated at 37°C or 46°C. The samples were then pulverized and plated to quantify residual bacteria. No statistical difference (p>0.05) in bacterial growth was seen between the two saline groups, or between the two medication groups at a given temperature. CHX and Ca(OH)2 at either temperature produced significantly less growth than either saline group, and CHX or Ca(OH)2 at 46°C produced significantly less growth than either group at 37°C. Heat enhanced the antibacterial action of both experimental irrigants against E. faecalis, but heating saline produced no increase in bactericidal effect.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Agricultural Biotechnology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Many vaccines for bioterrorism agents are investigational and therefore not available (outside of research protocol use) to all at-risk laboratory workers who have begun working with these agents as a result of increased interest in biodefense research. Illness surveillance data archived from the US offensive biological warfare programme (from 1943 to 1969) were reviewed to assess the impact of safety measures on disease prevention (including biosafety cabinets (BSCs)) before and after vaccine availability. Most laboratory-acquired infections from agents with higher infective doses (e.g., anthrax, glanders, and plague) were prevented with personal protective measures and safety training alone. Safety measures (including BSCs) without vaccination failed to sufficiently prevent illness from agents with lower infective doses in this high-risk research setting. Infections continued with tularaemia (average 15/year), Venezuelan equine encephalitis (1.9/year), and Q fever (3.4/year) but decreased dramatically once vaccinations became available (average of 1, 0.6, and 0 infections per year, respectively). While laboratory-acquired infections are not expected to occur frequently in the current lower-risk biodefense research setting because of further improvements in biosafety equipment and changes in biosafety policies, the data help to define the inherent risks of working with the specific agents of bioterrorism. The data support the idea that research with these agents should be restricted to laboratories with experience in handling highly hazardous agents and where appropriate safety training and precautions can be implemented.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - Region II of the 175-kDa erythrocyte-binding antigen (EBA-175RII) of Plasmodium falciparum is functionally important in sialic acid-dependent erythrocyte invasion and is considered a prime target for an invasion-blocking vaccine. The objectives of this study were to (i) determine the prevalence of anti-EBA-175RII antibodies in a naturally exposed population, (ii) determine whether naturally acquired antibodies have a functional role by inhibiting binding of EBA-175RII to erythrocytes, and (iii) determine whether antibodies against EBA-175RII correlate with immunity to clinical malaria. We treated 301 lifelong residents of an area of malaria holoendemicity in western Kenya for malaria, monitored them during a high-transmission season, and identified 33 individuals who were asymptomatic despite parasitemia (clinically immune). We also identified 50 clinically susceptible individuals to serve as controls. These 83 individuals were treated and monitored again during the subsequent low-transmission season. Anti-EBA-175RII antibodies were present in 98.7% of the individuals studied. The antibody levels were relatively stable between the beginning and end of the high-transmission season and correlated with the plasma EBA-175RII erythrocyte-binding-inhibitory activity. There was no difference in anti-EBA-175RII levels or plasma EBA-175RII erythrocyte-binding-inhibitory activity between clinically immune and clinically susceptible groups. However, these parameters were higher in nonparasitemic than in parasitemic individuals at enrollment. These results suggest that although antibodies against EBA-175RII may be effective in suppressing some of the wild parasite strains, EBA-175RII is unlikely to be effective as a monovalent vaccine against malaria, perhaps due to allelic heterogeneity and/or presence of sialic acid-independent strains.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 34 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - We designed, optimized, and extensively tested several sensitive and specific real-time PCR assays for rapid detection of both smallpox and pan-orthopox virus DNAs. The assays are based on TaqMan 3′-minor groove binder chemistry and were performed on both the rapid-cycling Roche LightCycler and the Cepheid Smart Cycler platforms. The hemagglutinin (HA) J7R, B9R, and B10R genes were used as targets for the variola virus-specific assays, and the HA and DNA polymerase-E9L genes were used as targets for the pan-orthopox virus assays. The five orthopox virus assays were tested against a panel of orthopox virus DNAs (both genomic and cloned) at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The results indicated that each assay was capable of detecting both the appropriate cloned gene and genomic DNA. The assays showed no cross-reactivity to the 78 DNAs in the USAMRIID bacterial cross-reactivity panel. The limit of detection (LOD) of each assay was determined to be between 12 and 25 copies of target DNA. The assays were also run against a blind panel of DNAs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on both the LightCycler and the Smart Cycler. The panel consisted of eight different variola virus isolates, five non-variola virus orthopox virus isolates, two varicella-zoster virus isolates, and one herpes simplex virus isolate. Each sample was tested in triplicate at 2.5 ng, 25 pg, 250 fg, and 2.5 fg, which represent 1.24×107, 1.24×105, 1.24×103, and 1.24×101 genome equivalents, respectively. The results indicated that each of the five assays was 100% specific (no false positives) when tested against both the USAMRIID panels and the CDC blind panel. With the CDC blind panel, the LightCycler was capable of detecting 96.2% of the orthopox virus DNAs and 93.8% of the variola virus DNAs. The Smart Cycler was capable of detecting 92.3% of the orthopox virus DNAs and between 75 and 93.8% of the variola virus DNAs. However, all five assays had nearly 100% sensitivity on both machines with samples above the LOD (>12 gene copies). These real-time PCR assays represent a battery of tests to screen for and confirm the presence of variola virus DNA. The early detection of a smallpox outbreak is crucial whether the incident is an act of bioterrorism or an accidental occurrence.

AB - This article reviews and evaluates the findings of several studies on the effects of wearing chemical protective clothing (CPC) on rifle marksmanship and on selected sensory and psychomotor tasks. Task performance in the Battle Dress Uniform under thermoneutral conditions was used as a standard for comparison based on percent change to evaluate the separate and combined effects of wearing CPC, exposure to ambient heat, and test duration. The findings indicated that wearing CPC resulted in an early overall impairment of task performance but that the magnitudes of impairment did not increase progressively over time (up to 6 hr) beyond the initial impairment levels. Although wearing CPC under hot conditions caused heat stress and, thus, limited test time to less than 2 hr, it did not degrade sensory or psychomotor performance beyond that observed under thermoneutral conditions for the same time period. Wearing CPC during heat exposure did, however, degrade rifle firing accuracy during the 1st 2 hr. Tasks involved in simulated sentry duty showed that wearing CPC intensified vigilance decrements and degraded rifle marksmanship. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - Wearing chemical protective clothing (CPC) while conducting military operations limits a soldier's dexterity, mobility, command and control, communications, and endurance. A series of field studies was conducted to identify mission degradations from the protective clothing on the chemically contaminated battlefield. The studies differed in complexity but had a common goal of comparing task performance and endurance of soldiers wearing the full protective ensemble versus wearing the standard military field uniform. This article summarizes 3 US Army programs. One of them is called the Physiological and Psychological Effects of the NBC Environment and Sustained Operations on Systems in Combat. A review of 19 studies concerning combat, combat support, and combat service support systems shows that most military tasks can be performed satisfactorily while CPC is worn, but usually, extra time is required to perform such tasks. Higher ambient temperatures and high workloads are especially detrimental to endurance. Realistic training in the ensemble is deemed essential for sustaining performance on the chemically contaminated battlefield. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

The authors believe that these finding have been ignored by those responsible for evaluations of device-based training in the U.S. Army. Implications of ignoring the causes and effects of the common evaluation errors, and especially errors associated with hypotheses of equal effectiveness of conventional training and device-based training are discussed. Solutions for how problems may be avoided by applying a few basics of statistical analysis and inference to the design and interpretation of evaluations of device-based training are then reviewed in relation to designing and interpreting evaluations of the Army's forthcoming Close Combat Tactical Trainer.

The U.S. Army Medical Command tasked the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine to examine the retention in service of individuals completing this program. To accomplish this tasking, the following data were obtained: a list of APFTEP recruits at Fort Jackson, South Carolina between January 1999 and June 2001; a list of BCT graduates from the Army Training Requirements and Resources System; and a comparison group of non-APFTEP recruits matched 3 to 1 on the basis of age, gender, Army entry date (+/- 30 days), BCT location, and active Army status from the Army Medical Surveillance Activity. We found that the proportion of recruits who successfully completed the APFTEP and graduated from BCT (85% of men, 80% of women) was lower than documented graduation rates for all recruits (93% of men, 87% of women). Retention in service after 1 year was also lower for APFTEP recruits than for non-APFTEP recruits among both men (74% vs. 92%, p < 0.01) and women (63% vs. 84%, p < 0.01). Despite the lower BCT graduation success and retention in service for APFTEP recruits, the program does assist in retaining soldiers who would otherwise be discharged for failing the Army physical fitness test. Thus, the program may be a useful tool for limiting attrition.

In this study, the forces required for indentation and scratching are used as a measure of a single particle gouge of the surface of a Kevlar fiber. The gouging forces and a geometric model are used to calculate the apparent friction and energy associated with particle gouging during impact. The friction associated with particle gouging can be increased up to ∼240% compared to Kevlar yarn-yarn friction levels. The energy of gouging a distribution of particles is on the order of 10% of the energy required for axial tensile failure and 25% of the energy required for transverse compression of the fiber (for a limiting transverse strain of ∼0.3). The relative contributions of the friction and energy associated with particle gouging to the overall energy dissipated by a textile composite are discussed.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requires a 70% overall performance rating to pass speech intelligibility certification for commercial chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear air-purifying respirators. However, the speech intelligibility of certified respirators is not reported and the impact on operational performance is unknown. The objective of this effort was to assess the speech intelligibility of 12 certified air-purifying respirators and to predict their impact on operational performance. The NIOSH respirator certification standard testing procedures were followed. Regression equations were fit to data from studies that examined the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on operational performance of simple and complex missions. The impact of the tested respirators on operational performance was estimated from these equations. Performance ratings observed for each respirator were: MSA Millennium (90%), 3M FR-M40 (88%), MSA Ultra Elite (87%), Scott M110 (86%), North 5400 (85%), Scott M120 (85%), Avon C50 (84%), Avon FM12 (84%), Survivair Optifit (81%), Drager CDR 4500 (81%), Peltor-AOSafety M-TAC (79%), and 3M FR-7800B (78%). The Millennium and FR-M40 had statistically significantly higher scores than the FR-7800B. The Millennium also scored significantly higher than the M-TAC. All of the tested respirators were predicted to have little impact on simple and complex mission performance times and on simple mission success rate. However, the regression equations showed that 75% of missions that require complex communications would be completed while wearing the Millennium, FR-M40, or Ultra Elite but that only 60% would be completed successfully while wearing the FR-7800B. These results suggest that some certified respirators may have a greater impact on speech communications than others.

Higher risk of injury was associated with some MOSs (OR (Chemical, Explosives & Ammunition/Infantry) = 2.82, 95% CI 1.19-6.68; OR (Armor/Infantry) = 1.53, 95% CI 1.13-2.07). Conclusion: This study identified a number of potentially modifiable risk factors for injuries including: maintenance of healthy weight, improved aerobic endurance, and reduction in smoking. Results also indicate certain Army occupations may be at higher risk of injury. Further investigation into reasons for their higher risk is warranted.

We speak to students about selecting a topic, choosing a supervisor, working with classmates, delivering the oral presentation, and coping with difficulties. We advise professors on helping students select a topic, monitoring student progress, adjusting to different types of students, approaching the oral presentations, interacting with faculty in the presence of students, and injecting themselves into student work. Consideration of these ideas--presented as a series of lessons--should promote more effective learning experiences in this course specific suggestions for improvement.

Unfortunately, abuse and neglect are commonplace in our society and are not limited to the civilian sector. The military community mirrors the civilian sector in the prevalence of abuse and neglect. Traditionally, identification and intervention of suspected cases of abuse and neglect was thought to be the role of the medical provider. Reports that up to 94% of family violence injuries have head and neck components, which is the very site that dental providers focus their attention, justifies the need for dental involvement. The U.S. Army Dental Command's Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Program's newest initiative is a family violence awareness program called Prevention of Abuse and Neglect through Dental Awareness (PA.N.D.A.). The program augments the Army Family Advocacy Program and gives dental-specific knowledge to our providers. The goals of this article are to describe the new program of the U.S. Army Dental Command that focuses on providing education and awareness to the dental community regarding family violence and to report the results of a survey that has been administered during the family violence training. More than 71% of individuals attending the P.A.N.D.A. training claimed to have previous training in family violence, whereas only 44% were knowledgeable about military regulations governing abuse and neglect.

The purpose of this study was to determine if active duty personnel relate accurate information about medications they have been prescribed in the 6 months before an annual dental examination. This study also examined whether patients knew the dosage of the medication they were prescribed. The information in this study was obtained from 100 active duty soldiers at their dental examinations. The data were verified through the Composite Health Care System computer information system. In this study, 35% of patients had been prescribed at least one medication. Fifty-one percent of the patients prescribed medication in this study accurately reported their prescription history in the 6 months before their dental examinations. Forty-five percent of the patients that reported being prescribed medication actually knew the correct dosage of the medication they were prescribed.

A large-scale release of radionuclides into a populated area is considered much more likely. Treatment of radiological casualties is possible even after a detonation that immediately overwhelms surviving local resources. Care would be required at medical centers throughout the country. For those radiological casualties where treatment is most likely to make the difference between survival and death, a window of several days exists in which patients can be identified, dispersed, and therapy initiated. Most deaths due to radiation occur as a result of bone marrow damage and secondary infection. Treatment is based on stimulation of the surviving bone marrow stem cells and protection from infection. With aggressive treatment of immunosuppression, very few deaths should be anticipated at radiation doses of less than 5 Gy. Only those patients who exhibit signs of neurological damage should be considered expectant. All other casualties are candidates for therapy.

It says that U.S. soldiers and their commanding officers were not ready for their first Korean winter in the fall of 1950, when temperatures plunged to more than 30 degrees below zero and arctic winds from Siberia can be deadly, too.

These models are often based upon overly simple econometric specifications and are typically formulated as if spatial interactions are absent. In this paper, we try to account for some of these shortcomings. We do this by considering spatial lags of certain independent variables, as well as of the dependent variable. We also consider spatial correlation of the error terms, general patterns of heteroscedasticity and of time series autocorrelation, and systems problems. Our results strongly suggest that regional infrastructure productivity involves spatial spillovers relating to both observable variables and error terms. They also suggest that corresponding coefficient estimates are very sensitive to model specifications.

Civilian deployment will grow as more military-to-civilian job conversions occur, especially in support functions such as personnel, safety, security, resource management and logistics. Civilians in the Balkans, an area with longtime U.S. military presence, experience a much different environment than do those in Iraq. Sometimes civilian employees are motivated by financial considerations also. A number of allowances can apply, such as hardship differential and danger pay, and other considerations include overtime, salary caps and taxes.

Twelve healthy young (mean age 22, S.D. 3.3 years) males participated by recovering balance with a single step following a forward lean-and-release. Participants were instructed to step to one of three floor targets representing small, natural, and large step lengths. The effect of step length was examined on the primary outcome variables: pushoff time, liftoff and landing time, swing duration, balance recovery time, landing impulse, and center of mass (COM) characteristics. Pushoff and liftoff times were not affected by step length, although swing phase duration, landing and recovery times and the anterior-posterior (AP) impulse at landing increased with increasing step length. The results support the idea of an invariant step preparation phase. Given that our participants naturally chose not to utilize a step as short as they were capable of employing, healthy young individuals do not minimize recovery time nor strength requirements when selecting their step length.

By August, 606 dentists had responded. Simple frequencies were generated using SPSS. Results show that tobacco, oral hygiene, and periodontal counseling and oral cancer and blood pressure screening are delivered frequently, whereas nursing caries, mouthguard, sealant, and nutrition services are delivered infrequently. Army dentists relied almost exclusively on oral presentations to deliver health promotion messages. Few used more than one source for health promotion materials. These results suggest that the delivery of dental health promotion and preventive dentistry services in the Army is suboptimal. A campaign to heighten provider awareness of the importance of delivering these services should be launched. The campaign should also teach providers how to make their health promotion efforts maximally effective through the application of proven health marketing techniques.

This paper describes the injuries sustained in that operation. A total of 4,754 (US, N = 3,066; UK, N = 1,688) aircraft exits were made, causing a total of 137 (US, N = 73; UK, N = 64) injuries in 117 personnel (US = 68; UK = 49). There were 15 hospital admissions (US = 8; UK = 7; p = 0.37) and no fatalities. The combined exit injury incidence was 24.6 injured soldiers per 1,000 exits. The US exit injury rate was 22 injured per 1,000 aircraft exits and the UK rate was 29 injured soldiers per 1,000 aircraft exits. This difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.25). Lower extremity sprains, strains, and fractures accounted for the majority of injuries in US and UK forces. UK soldiers sustained significantly more of these potentially incapacitating injuries than US troops, 16.1 per 1,000 exits versus 9.1 per 1,000 exits, respectively (chi 2 = 4.07; p = 0.043; relative risk [RR] = 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01, 2.86). The UK forces sustained significantly more closed head injuries than US forces, 7.1 per 1,000 exits versus 2.3 per 1,000 exits, respectively (chi 2 = 6.4; p = 0.011; RR = 3.13; 95% CI = 1.23, 7.93). The UK forces also had significantly more soldiers with multiple injuries than US forces (RR = 9.15; 95% CI = 2.5, 39.7). Factors that may have influenced differences in injury incidence include differences in weight of personal equipment and possible differences between the drop zones.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Body fat standards have been used by the military services since the early 1980s to prevent obesity and motivate good fitness habits. The Army Weight Control Program has continued to undergo evaluation and incorporate improvements based on emerging scientific findings. Recently drafted revisions of Department of Defense-wide procedures address issues of consistency and validity raised by external oversight groups. This study evaluated the impact of three proposed refinements of the Army Weight Control Program. Anthropometric measurements and fitness test performance were obtained in a randomized sample of 1038 male and 347 nonpregnant female soldiers at three Army posts. Of this sample, 11% of men and 17% of women were overweight and overfat; 6.3 and 9.8%, respectively, were currently on the Army Weight Control Program. Screening weight tables that ensure women are not inappropriately striving to meet weights more stringent than "healthy" weight (i.e., body mass index <25 kg/m2) still correctly identified all women for evaluation for the age-specific body fat standards. Body fat estimation using more valid DoD body fat equations that include an abdominal circumference for women reduced the number of female soldiers currently classified as exceeding fat standards, coincidentally resulting in a comparable prevalence of male and female soldiers over the fat standards (12%). A body fat allowance for young soldiers who scored very well on the physical fitness test could have benefited one-fourth of the soldiers exceeding fat standards and acknowledges biological variability in body fat thresholds. Whereas this linkage may motivate fitness habits, it complicates enforcement of reasonably achievable body fat standards. The proposed changes in fat screening and measurement methods are appropriate, but the impact to health and physical readiness of the Force cannot be accurately predicted or measured because of the absence of comprehensive baseline data and tracking mechanisms.

Results revealed that C. tarsalis mosquitoes were efficient laboratory vectors of WN, with estimated transmission rates of 81 and 91% for mosquitoes that ingested 106.5 or 107.3 plaque-forming units of WN/ml of blood, respectively. Based on efficiency of viral transmission and the role of this species in the transmission of the closely related St. Louis encephalitis virus, C. tarsalis should be considered a potentially important vector of WN in the western USA.

In the presence of naturally breeding Aplocheilus latipes at the density of 0.8 fish/m2 water surface, the natural control of Anopheles sinensis larvae ranged from 34.4 to 51.6% from June to August; later supplemental introduction of T. mossambicus niloticus at the release rate of 1 pair per 10 m2 resulted in increased control effectiveness from 67.8 to 80.0% in 3rd and 5th week, respectively. In a combined fish release at the rate of 1.0 fish/m2 of Aphyocypris chinensis and 1 pair/10 m2 of T. mossambicus niloticus produced 67.3 and 82.1% mosquito larval reduction in 3rd and 5th week, respectively. The similar pattern of gradual but significant suppression of mosquitoes was also evident in separate rice paddy in 4-5 week period, maintaining about 75-82% for the subsequent mosquito breeding season in comparison with control plot.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Protozoology N2 - Recent epidemics of Plasmodium falciparum malaria have been observed in high-altitude areas of East Africa. Increased malaria incidence in these areas of unstable malaria transmission has been attributed to a variety of changes including global warming. To determine whether the reemergence of malaria in western Kenya could be attributed to changes in meteorologic conditions, we tested for trends in a continuous 30-year monthly malaria incidence dataset (1966-1995) obtained from complete hospital registers at a Kenyan tea plantation. Contemporary monthly meteorologic data (1966-1995) that originated from the tea estate meteorologic station and from global climatology records were also tested for trends. We found that total hospital admissions (malaria and nonmalaria) remained unchanged while malaria admissions increased significantly during the period. We also found that all meteorologic variables showed no trends for significance, even when combined into a monthly suitability index for malaria transmission. We conclude that climate changes have not caused the highland malaria resurgence in western Kenya.

Language: English. Registry Number: 58-08-2. Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Rationale. When humans are acutely exposed to multiple stressors, cognitive performance is substantially degraded. Few practical strategies are available to sustain performance under such conditions. Objective. This study examined whether moderate doses of caffeine would reduce adverse effects of sleep deprivation and exposure to severe environmental and operational stress on cognitive performance. Methods. Volunteers were 68 U.S. Navy Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) trainees, randomly assigned to receive either 100, 200, or 300 mg caffeine or placebo in capsule form after 72 h of sleep deprivation and continuous exposure to other stressors. Cognitive tests administered included scanning visual vigilance, four-choice visual reaction time, a matching-to-sample working memory task and a repeated acquisition test of motor learning and memory. Mood state, marksmanship, and saliva caffeine were also assessed. Testing was conducted 1 and 8 h after treatment. Results. Sleep deprivation and environmental stress adversely affected performance and mood. Caffeine, in a dose-dependent manner, mitigated many adverse effects of exposure to multiple stressors. Caffeine (200 and 300 mg) significantly improved visual vigilance, choice reaction time, repeated acquisition, self-reported fatigue and sleepiness with the greatest effects on tests of vigilance, reaction time, and alertness. Marksmanship, a task that requires fine motor coordination and steadiness, was not affected by caffeine. The greatest effects of caffeine were present 1 h post-administration, but significant effects persisted for 8 h. Conclusions. Even in the most adverse circumstances, moderate doses of caffeine can improve cognitive function, including vigilance, learning, memory, and mood state. When cognitive performance is critical and must be maintained during exposure to severe stress, administration of caffeine may provide a significant advantage. A dose of 200 mg appears to be optimal under such conditions.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - We evaluated the effect of triethylamine (TEA) on the recovery of infectious virus from pools of mosquitoes (Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus [Aedes taeniorhynchus], O. atropalpus [A. atropalpus] and Culex pipiens) for 2 South American alphaviruses (eastern equine encephalomyelitis and Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis subtypes IIIC and ID), one flavivirus (Ilheus) and 2 bunyaviruses (Mirim (Guama group) and Itaqui (group C)). Mosquitoes were inoculated intrathoracically with virus, held for 7-10 days at 26°C, and handled under one of 4 regimens before testing for the presence of virus by plaque assay. Mosquitoes were killed by freezing at -70°C for 3 min and tested immediately for the presence of virus; killed by freezing at -70°C for 3 min and then held at room temperature for 1 h before testing for the presence of virus; anaesthetized with TEA and assayed immediately for the presence of virus; or anaesthetized with TEA and then held at room temperature for 1 h before being assayed for the presence of virus. For each of the viruses tested, viral titres in mosquitoes anaesthetized with TEA were similar to those in mosquitoes killed by freezing at -70°C. Likewise, there was no significant difference in viral titres in mosquitoes anaesthetized with TEA and held at room temperature for 1 h or in mosquitoes frozen at -70°C and held at room temperature for 1 h before being processed for virus by isolation. Triethylamine is advantageous for the handling of mosquitoes in a field environment. The elimination of the need for a cold chain, without compromising virus recovery, increases the feasibility of conducting research projects requiring the isolation of live virus from mosquitoes in remote tropical environments.

Nineteen employees of Natick Soldier Systems Center participated in the study. Results showed that there was a main effect for time on fullness and hunger ratings (P<0.001). Total correlations among scales showed that the bi-polar hunger/fullness scale had the highest correlation. Although the generally high correlations showed that all of the scales have a strong association with one another, analysis of variance showed differences in the sensitivity of the scales to differences in satiety among the foods. The findings indicate that reliability and sensitivity differences exist among the scales.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Despite the detection of West Nile (WN) virus in overwintering Culex pipiens in New York, USA in February 2000, the mechanism by which this virus persists throughout the winter to initiate infections in vertebrate hosts and vectors the following spring remains unknown. After a blood meal, parous mosquitoes generally do not survive until spring and gonotrophic dissociation occurs in only a small percentage of the population. To investigate vertical transmission as a means of viral survival during interepizootics, we intrathoracically inoculated C. pipiens and Aedes albopictus with WN virus and subsequently tested their F1 progeny for the presence of virus. Among the C. pipiens, we recovered virus from two of 1417 adult progeny that had been reared at 18°C for a minimal filial infection rate (MFIR) of ~1.4/1000 and four of 1873 adult progeny reared at 26°C (MFIR=2.1/1000). The mean titre of the positive pools was 105.6 plaque-forming units (PFU)/ml (=105.9 PFU/mosquito for positive mosquitoes) of virus. Overall, the MFIR was ~1.8/1000 for C. pipiens. Although reports indicate that A. albopictus vertically transmit various viruses in the Japanese encephalitis virus complex, we did not detect WN virus in any of >13 000 F1 progeny of WN virus-inoculated specimens. Female C. pipiens that are vertically infected during the late summer season and then survive the winter could serve as a source of WN virus to initiate an infection cycle the following spring.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agroforestry N2 - Ochlerotatus j. japonicus, a recent introduction to the USA, was studied to determine its capability to serve as a vector of La Crosse (LAC) virus. A field-collected population of Ochlerotatus triseriatus, the primary vector of LAC virus, was similarly tested for comparison. After O. j. japonicus ingested virus from hamsters with viraemias of 103.6-5.4 plaque-forming units (PFU)/ml of blood, its estimated transmission rates were 35-88%. These rates were slightly lower than, though similar to, those for O. triseriatus, 75-100%. Viral titres in O. j. japonicus peaked at ~105.5 PFU/mosquito about 7 days after ingesting a blood meal in which the concentration of LAC virus was 105.4 PFU/ml of blood; virus had disseminated from the midgut in 100% (8/8) of these specimens. These data, combined with the close association between the habitats of O. j. japonicus and O. triseriatus and the reported expansion of the range of this newly discovered species in the eastern USA, indicate that O. j. japonicus could function as an additional vector of LAC virus.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Persistence and diuretic shedding of hepatitis B virus (HBV) by mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) was studied by using infectious blood feedings, intrathoracic inoculations and detection of virus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern hybridization. Results showed that both Anopheles stephensi and Ochlerotatus triseriatus shed HBV during diuresis for up to 72 h after feeding on an HBV-positive serum drawn from a human donor. HBV did not persist in the bodies of either A. stephensi or O. triseriatus past 72 h by infectious feeding or intrathoracic inoculation of HBV suspension. Viral dissemination did not occur by infectious feeding in A. stephensi or O. triseriatus, or by intrathoracic inoculation in A. stephensi, O. triseriatus or Culex quinquefasciatus. These results suggest that HBV could be transmitted to humans by a stercorarian route, especially if mosquitoes that fed on an HBV-positive human are interrupted during feeding and move to another person to resume feeding.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Protozoology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - We report the natural co-infection of a single Anopheles mosquito with Plasmodium vivax phenotypes VK210 and VK247. In total, 8452 anopheline mosquitoes collected between June 1999 and July 2001 in a village in Thailand were tested by ELISA for the presence of circumsporozoite (CS) protein to VK210, VK247, and P. falciparum (PF). A total of 29 species was represented; however, the predominant species tested were A. minimus (4632), A. sawadwongporni (1248), A. maculatus (1201), A. campestris (478), and A. barbirostris (391).

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Thirteen different laboratory colonies of Leptotrombidium chiggers (L. chiangraiensis, L. deliense and L. imphalum) were evaluated for their ability to transmit Orientia tsutsugamushi to mice. Of 4372 transmission attempts using individual chiggers from all 13 colonies, 75% (n=3275) successfully infected mice. Transmission rates for the individual chigger colonies ranged from 7 to 80%. Increasing the number of chiggers that fed on a given mouse generally increased transmission rates. Transmission of O. tsutsugamushi to mice by different generations (F1-F11) of certain chigger colonies was stable; however, transmission rates varied greatly in other colonies. Transmission rates (both vertical and horizontal) of several L. chiangraiensis colonies and the L. deliense colony were the highest, suggesting that these colonies may be useful for the development of a chigger-challenge model that can be used to evaluate the efficacy of candidate scrub typhus vaccines or therapeutic agents in laboratory mice.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Poultry N2 - We evaluated the potential for Ochlerotatus japonicus japonicus, a newly recognized invasive mosquito species in the USA, to transmit eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus. Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens were similarly tested for comparison. Ochlerotatus japonicus japonicus and A. albopictus became infected and transmitted EEE virus by bite after feeding on young fowls 1 d after they had been inoculated with EEE virus (viraemias ranging from 107.0-8.7 plaque-forming units (PFU)/ml of blood). No C. pipiens (n=20) had detectable levels of virus 14 d after feeding on an EEE-virus infected fowl with a viraemia of 108.1 PFU per ml of blood. Depending on the viral titre in the donor fowl, infection rates ranged from 55-100% for O. japonicus japonicus and 93-100% for A. albopictus. In these two species, dissemination rates were identical to or nearly identical to infection rates. Depending on the viral titre in the blood meal, estimated transmission rates ranged from 15 to 25% for O. japonicus japonicus and 59-63% for A. albopictus. Studies of replication of EEE virus in O. japonicus japonicus showed that there was an "eclipse phase" in the first 4 d after an infectious blood meal, that viral titres peak by day 7 at around 105.7 per mosquito, and that virus escaped the mid-gut as soon as 3 d after the infectious blood meal. These data, combined with the opportunistic feeding behaviour of O. japonicus japonicus in Asia and the reported expansion of its range in the eastern USA, indicate that it could function as a bridge vector for EEE virus between the enzootic Culiseta melanura-avian cycle and susceptible mammalian hosts.

N2 - The purpose of this study was to quantitate the physiological responses of female rats during oestrus (E) and non-oestrus (NE) phases of their cycle to short-term exposure to a hot environment (38°C, 90 min). Heart rate (HR), core temperature (Tc), activity level (ACT), and evaporative water loss (EWL) responses in telemetry-implanted rats (n=9) in the heat were compared to responses of rats at room temperature (23°C, 90 min). Both at room temperature and in the heat, Tc changed significantly across time and was significantly higher in the heat. At room temperature, HR was not different between oestrus stages or across time, while it changed significantly across time in the heat. ACT declined for 20 min and then remained similar among groups for the duration of the exposure. EWL was greater in the heat than at room temperature, although it did not change significantly across time or between stages during both exposures. These results indicate that the reproductive stage does not affect the response of rats to short-term environmental stimuli.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 30 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Ebola virus (EBOV) causes acute haemorrhagic fever that is fatal in up to 90% of cases in both humans and nonhuman primates. No vaccines or treatments are available for human use. We evaluated the effects in nonhuman primates of vaccine strategies that had protected mice or guinea pigs from lethal EBOV infection. The following immunogens were used: RNA replicon particles derived from an attenuated strain of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) expressing EBOV glycoprotein and nucleoprotein; recombinant Vaccinia virus expressing EBOV glycoprotein; liposomes containing lipid A and inactivated EBOV; and a concentrated, inactivated whole-virion preparation. None of these strategies successfully protected nonhuman primates from robust challenge with EBOV. The disease observed in primates differed from that in rodents, suggesting that rodent models of EBOV may not predict the efficacy of candidate vaccines in primates and that protection of primates may require different mechanisms.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Spatiotemporal aspects of filovirus entry and release are poorly understood. Lipid rafts act as functional platforms for multiple cellular signalling and trafficking processes. Here, we report the compartmentalization of Ebola and Marburg viral proteins within lipid rafts during viral assembly and budding. Filoviruses released from infected cells incorporated raft-associated molecules, suggesting that viral exit occurs at the rafts. Ectopic expression of Ebola matrix protein and glycoprotein supported raft-dependent release of filamentous, virus-like particles (VLPs), strikingly similar to live virus as revealed by electron microscopy. Our findings also revealed that the entry of filoviruses requires functional rafts, identifying rafts as the site of virus attack. The identification of rafts as the gateway for the entry and exit of filoviruses and raft-dependent generation of VLPs have important implications for development of therapeutics and vaccination strategies against infections with Ebola and Marburg viruses.

The study setting was a cluster sample from 24 community pharmacies based on prescription records that suggested need for pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. Vaccination status, choice of vaccine provider, and opinions regarding vaccine providers were retrospectively surveyed by mail in Washington and Oregon States, USA, during the spring of 1999. Overall, 52% of survey recipients responded; 89% of respondents reported returning to the same type of vaccine provider in consecutive years. Two key factors affected choice of provider: convenience and provider experience. Convenience was a stronger factor for people younger than 65 taking chronic medications and those not vaccinated in the previous year. Most adult recipients of influenza vaccine returned to sites where they were vaccinated the previous year. Thus, convenience is a major factor in vaccination decisions of adult prescription recipients.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - As part of an evaluation of potential vectors of arboviruses during a Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreak in the Nile Valley of Egypt in August 1993, we collected mosquitoes in villages with known RVF viral activity. Mosquitoes were sorted to species, pooled, and processed for virus isolation both by intracerebral inoculation into suckling mice and by inoculation into cell culture. A total of 33 virus isolates was made from 36 024 mosquitoes. Viruses were initially identified by indirect fluorescent antibody testing and consisted of 30 flaviviruses (all members of the Japanese encephalitis complex, most probably West Nile [WN] virus) and three alphaviruses (all members of western equine encephalitis complex, most probably Sindbis). The identity of selected viruses was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Culex antennatus and C. perexiguus accounted for five (17%) and 23 (77%) of the WN virus isolations, respectively. Despite isolation of viruses from 32 pools of mosquitoes (both WN and Sindbis viruses were isolated from a single pool), RVF virus was not isolated from these mosquitoes, even though most of them are known competent vectors collected during an ongoing RVF outbreak. Thus, it should be remembered, that even during a known arbovirus outbreak, other arboviruses may still be circulating and causing disease.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - We evaluated the effect of holding temperature and time between mosquito death and processing mosquito pools for virus detection on our ability to detect West Nile (WN) viral RNA from pools of mosquitoes by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Pools of 24 uninfected Culex pipiens mosquitoes were "spiked" with either a single C. pipiens that had been inoculated previously with WN virus or with an uninfected mosquito. These pools were held dry at 20, 4, -20, or -70°C for selected time intervals before all mosquito pools were triturated in TRIzol LS reagent and processed for detection of WN viral RNA. While infectious virus virtually disappeared from pools maintained at 20°C by 48 h after mosquito death, neither holding temperature (20 to -70°C) nor holding period (up to 2 wk) affected detection of WN viral RNA by real-time RT-PCR. These findings suggest that we need not keep mosquitoes chilled to be able to detect WN viral RNA effectively by RT-PCR. This should enhance the feasibility of field-based WN virus surveillance programs where only detection of WN viral RNA is the objective and maintenance of a cold chain may not be possible.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 20 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - The neutralizing and enhancing activities of Ebola virus (EBOV)-specific antibodies were tested among four murine antibodies specific to the surface glycoprotein (GP), a recombinant human monoclonal antibody specific to GP, a polyclonal equine IgG, and serum obtained from a convalescent monkey. All but one of these antibodies neutralized EBOV infectivity of primary human monocytes/macrophages or Vero cells. None of the antibodies enhanced EBOV infectivity in these cells. Taken together with in vivo observations that early deaths were not observed in animals immunized with various viral vectors expressing EBOV GP, it is unlikely that any EBOV-enhancing antibodies profoundly affected EBOV pathogenesis.

This study was supported in part by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine grant no. DAMD17-95-1-5052.; Publication Type: Article; Material Type: PRINT; Update Code: 20070901; SIRC Article No.: S-974767 N2 - Purpose: To determine whether cumulative daily average wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index, over one or two preceding days, is a better measure for predicting cases of exertional heat illness (EHI) than current daily average WBGT, which is the standard heat index used by the Marine Corps; and to identify the most accurate index of heat stress to prevent and predict future cases of EHI. Methods: A case-crossover study was conducted in male and female Marine Corps recruits in basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC. Weather measurements were obtained for 2069 cases of EHI during 1979-1997 and for randomly selected control periods before and after each EHI episode. Results: The risk of EHI increased with WBGT (OR = 1.11 degrees F-1; 95 % CI, 1.10-1.13). EHI risk was associated not only with the WBGT at the time of the event (OR = 1.10 degrees F-1; 95 % CI, 1.08-1.11) but with the previous day's average WBGT as well (OR = 1.03 degrees F-1; 95 % CI, 1.02-1.05). Alternative combinations of WBGT components were identified that better predicted EHI risk. Conclusion: Our results provide evidence for a cumulative effect of previous day's heat exposure on EHI risk in these Marine Corps recruits. A simple index for use in predicting EHI risk is proposed that includes the dry-bulb temperature and the relative humidity.

Sixty percent of the respondents were women and the average age was 54 yr. Almost half of the respondents took prescribed medications chronically and 84% came to the pharmacy intending to be vaccinated. All of the respondents believed they were treated respectfully. Many respondents considered the pharmacy to be advantageous compared with other vaccine providers, based on access, proximity, trust, convenience, and/or cost.

Although the field has progressively gotten more sophisticated and reliable, evidence has continued to be excluded from trials, giving the impression that the technique is a combination of science and magic. However, states particularly in the Northwest have long used polygraphy in the monitoring of sex offenders. Often just the thought of the procedure is enough to deter offenders from certain high-risk behaviors. In this chapter, the authors, a probation officer and a polygrapher, discuss in detail the use of this technology in the effective monitoring of this population.

We learn from the Technical Cooperative Program that soldiers need to engage in building resilience to help themselves and their families to recover from traumas and stresses of war. In this chapter we review studies that guide recovery and resilience. We focus on resources that lead to deeper understandings of how psychosocial rehabilitation produces benefits for those recovering from experiences and wounds of war. We examine naturalistic and clinical observations and randomized controlled trials investigating how health services produce favorable adjustments in everyday living. Psychosocial rehabilitation is about learning skills for adjustment. And learning to function at home is what peace is about, as Criterion F for PTSD focuses our attention on overcoming interferences in social and occupational functioning.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Stigma and organizational barriers have been identified as factors for why a small proportion of soldiers with psychological problems seek professional help. In this article, we examine the impact of negative attitudes toward treatment on treatment seeking among soldiers previously deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq (n = 2,623). We asked soldiers with psychological problems questions about stigma, organizational barriers, negative attitudes toward treatment, and whether they sought treatment for their psychological problems. We found that negative attitudes about treatment inversely predicted treatment seeking. These results provide a more comprehensive examination of reasons that soldiers do not seek needed treatment and highlight the need for policy aimed at reducing negative attitudes toward mental health treatment.

Standard American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) tests were used to find the density, Poisson’s ratio, tensile, compressive and shear strengths, and the elastic and shear moduli of the material. The quasi-static punch shear and crush strength tests were used to find the punch shear and crush strengths of the material. LVI tests were conducted to obtain force versus time curves for various loading conditions. Ballistic testing was conducted using a right circular cylinder (RCC) to find the V50 ballistic limit and the depth of penetration of the RCC at various impact velocities. The experimental results of this investigation can be used for structural design and to validate numerical solutions for both LVI and ballistic impact events.

As part of this modeling effort, experimental micrographs of the composite specimen obtained from a previous experimental study1,2 are analyzed. In conjunction with these micrographs, model outcomes demonstrate the ability of warp weavers or through-thickness Z-yarns to shield inter-laminar cracks. Quasi-static indentation is modeled as a contact interaction between a rigid cylindrical indenter and a deformable S2-Glass/SC15 3D woven composite laminate using ABAQUS®. Tow elements are modeled as transversely isotropic elastic-plastic material entities, whereas the inter-tow matrix is modeled as an isotropic elastic-plastic material. Through-thickness failure modes are predicted based on the Tsai-Hill criterion. Contour maps of these failure modes point to the location and corresponding damage initiation mode within the material. Experimentally obtained micrographs1,2 are then analyzed on the basis of these contour maps, thereby serving to validate the modeling methodology. The effect of Z-yarns is demonstrated with the aid of two-dimensional plane strain linear elastic fracture mechanics analysis. Crack shielding abilities of the Z-yarns manifest as the variation of strain energy release rate as a function of crack length and location. In the vicinity of a Z-yarn, the energy release rate decreases precipitously, indicating the inability of the crack to penetrate the Z-yarns.

In addition, the study examined whether differences across these outcomes exist between combat veterans (n = 239) and noncombat veterans (n = 242). Rates of mental health problems among soldiers on this noncombat deployment were lower than rates typically found among soldiers on combat deployments. Furthermore, soldiers without previous combat experience had lower rates of mental health problems and aggression than combat veterans. Similar differences were evident when adjustment difficulties and unit climate variables were compared. Although combat veterans could be valuable in training new soldiers, the results of this study indicate that combat veterans may need more targeted resources to facilitate their adjustment if they are to be optimally utilized.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - The purpose of this study was to determine awareness and compliance with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines among U.S. Army soldiers. Soldiers (n = 524) attending training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas completed self-report questionnaires and a foot assessment, which included measurement of foot size and arch height index. Researchers examined each soldier’s running shoes for type, wear pattern, and general condition. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers wore shoes that were inappropriately sized; 56.5% wore shoes that were inappropriate for their foot type. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers had excessively worn shoes and 63% did not know recommended shoe replacement guidelines. Further efforts may be necessary to ensure that soldiers are aware of and compliant with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines. Future research is needed to determine whether adherence to these guidelines has a favorable effect on reducing risk of overuse injury.

Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. 2010. AB - Naturalistic decision-making studies of intelligence analysis have generally focused on information search, collection, and synthesis processes, deemphasizing the initial 'problem formulation' phase, in which analysts interpret and contextualize the information request to determine which information to collect. We present the results of two studies focusing on this phase. In the first study, we performed a cognitive task analysis via semistructured interviews with 22 active-duty U.S. Army intelligence analysts to uncover factors that arise in operational environments that complicate problem formulation. The factors discovered (e.g., vague and/or overly narrow intelligence requests) led to a second study probing 6 active-duty U.S. Army intelligence analysts’ cognitive strategies with a 'think-aloud' protocol as they interpreted and evaluated representative information requests. The study revealed that analysts actively interpret and contextualize an information request. The analysts reframed and broadened the request so that they could respond meaningfully to the underlying intent, then used contextual cues and metainformation to determine the most useful collectors and how effectively the request could be answered in the time allotted. We discuss these results and their implications for both the cognitive modeling of intelligence analysis and the development of training and decision aids for more effective framing and contextualization of information requests.

AB - Navigators use both external cues and internal heuristics to help them plan efficient routes through environments. In six experiments, we discover and seek the origin of a novel heuristic that causes participants to preferentially choose southern rather than northern routes during map-based route planning. Experiment 1 demonstrates that participants who are tasked to choose between two equal-length routes, one going generally north and one south, show reliable decision preferences toward the southern option. Experiment 2 demonstrates that participants produce a southern preference only when instructed to adopt egocentric rather than allocentric perspectives during route planning. In Experiments 3–5, we examined participants' judgments of route characteristics and found that judgments of route length and preferences for upper relative to lower path options do not contribute to the southern route preference. Rather, the southern route preference appears to be a result of misperceptions of increased elevation to the north (i.e., north is up). Experiment 6 further supports this finding by demonstrating that participants provide greater time estimates for north- than for equivalent south-going routes when planning travel between U.S. cities. Results are discussed with regard to predicting wayfinding behavior, the mental simulation of action, and theories of spatial cognition and navigation.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - The dramatic increase in psychological demands associated with current military operations makes psychological fitness of our military personnel more vital than ever. Psychological fitness is defined as the integration and optimization of mental, emotional, and behavioral abilities and capacities to optimize performance and strengthen the resilience of warfighters. The present article proposes a military demand-resource (MDR) model as a comprehensive and integrated model of psychological fitness for the total force. The model emphasizes the importance of identifying military-driven and evidence-informed variables, and selecting operational outcome measures for resilience and performance. The model integrates the roles of internal (personal) and external (environmental) resources specifically for developing, sustaining, and restoring psychological resources, similar to the maintenance of physical fitness and health. Equal attention to the psychological component is critical for achieving the mind–body balance as desired in a total force fitness framework for military forces today.

Elsevier Inc. 2010. AB - Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in using neural oscillations to characterize the mechanisms supporting cognition and emotion. Oftentimes, oscillatory activity is indexed by mean power density in predefined frequency bands. Some investigators use broad bands originally defined by prominent surface features of the spectrum. Others rely on narrower bands originally defined by spectral factor analysis (SFA). Presently, the robustness and sensitivity of these competing band definitions remains unclear. Here, a Monte Carlo-based SFA strategy was used to decompose the tonic ('resting' or 'spontaneous') electroencephalogram (EEG) into five bands: delta (1–5 Hz), alpha-low (6–9 Hz), alpha-high (10–11 Hz), beta (12–19 Hz), and gamma (>21 Hz). This pattern was consistent across SFA methods, artifact correction/rejection procedures, scalp regions, and samples. Subsequent analyses revealed that SFA failed to deliver enhanced sensitivity; narrow alpha sub-bands proved no more sensitive than the classical broadband to individual differences in temperament or mean differences in task-induced activation. Other analyses suggested that residual ocular and muscular artifact was the dominant source of activity during quiescence in the delta and gamma bands. This was observed following threshold-based artifact rejection or independent component analysis (ICA)- based artifact correction, indicating that such procedures do not necessarily confer adequate protection. Collectively, these findings highlight the limitations of several commonly used EEG procedures and underscore the necessity of routinely performing exploratory data analyses, particularly data visualization, prior to hypothesis testing. They also suggest the potential benefits of using techniques other than SFA for interrogating high-dimensional EEG datasets in the frequency or time–frequency (event-related spectral perturbation, event-related synchronization/desynchronization) domains.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Introduction: Military aircrew and other operational personnel frequently perform their duties at altitudes posing a significant hypoxia risk, often with limited access to supplemental oxygen. Despite the significant risk hypoxia poses, there are few studies relating it to primary flight performance, which is the purpose of the present study. Methods: Objective, quantitative measures of aircraft control were collected from 14 experienced, active duty instructor pilot volunteers as they breathed an air/nitrogen mix that provided an oxygen partial pressure equivalent to the atmosphere at 18,000 ft (5486.4 m) above mean sea level. The flight task required holding a constant airspeed, altitude, and heading at an airspeed significantly slower than the aircraft’s minimum drag speed. The simulated aircraft’s inherent instability at the target speed challenged the pilot to maintain constant control of the aircraft in order to minimize deviations from the assigned flight parameters. Results: Each pilot’s flight performance was evaluated by measuring all deviations from assigned target values. Hypoxia degraded the pilot’s precision of altitude and airspeed control by 53%, a statistically significant decrease in flight performance. The effect on heading control effects was not statistically significant. There was no evidence of performance differences when breathing room air pre- and post-hypoxia. Discussion: Moderate levels of hypoxia degraded the ability of military instructor pilots to perform a precision slow flight task. This is one of a small number of studies to quantify an effect of hypoxia on primary flight performance.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - Risk-taking propensity can be influenced by sensation-seeking traits and self-perceived invincibility. We hypothesized that the latter factor may reflect a stable trait that endures across situations and may influence risk-taking behavior. We developed and validated a 20-item scale, the Invincibility Belief Index (IBI) to measure this construct. The IBI demonstrated good internal consistency and excellent test–retest reliability in the development sample (n = 100) and sustained similar levels of reliability in a cross-validation sample (n = 74). Principal components analysis yielded three orthogonal factors measuring self-perceived impunity (immunity from consequences), boldness/audacity (self-assuredness and competitiveness), and adroitness (mental agility and survival skill). In the prediction of risk taking, IBI scores contributed additional unique variance beyond sensation-seeking scores alone. IBI scores demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity with concurrently administered measures. These preliminary results support the reliability and validity of the IBI as a brief measure of self-perceived vulnerability–invincibility in the face of adversity.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - The diagnosis and management of concussion can be difficult in a combat environment, especially in the absence of loss of consciousness or post-traumatic amnesia. As no validated test exists to diagnose or grade neurocognitive impairment from a concussion, the military currently employs the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation (MACE) in Iraq. This is a two-part test, which incorporates the standardized assessment of concussion (SAC) as its objective score, although it has not been shown to be valid unless administered shortly after injury. A research team deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to examine the validity of several tests of neurocognitive function following a concussion, including the MACE. When administered more than 12 hours after the concussive injury, the MACE lacked sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be clinically useful.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - Background: A longitudinal cohort analysis of disease nonbattle injuries (DNBI) sustained by a large combat-deployed maneuver unit has not been performed. Methods: A descriptive analysis was undertaken to evaluate for DNBI casualty care statistics incurred by a U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team (BCT) during a counterinsurgency campaign of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Results: Of the 4,122 soldiers deployed, there were 1,324 DNBI with 5 (0.38%) deaths, 208 (15.7%) medical evacuations (MEDEVAC), and 1,111 (83.9%) returned to duty. The DNBI casualty rate for the BCT was 257.0/1,000 soldier combat-years. Females, compared with males, had a significantly increased incidence rate ratio for becoming a DNBI casualty 1.67 (95% CI 1.37, 2.04). Of 47 female soldiers receiving MEDEVAC 35 (74%) were for pregnancy-related issues. Musculoskeletal injuries (50.4%) and psychiatric disorders (23.3%) were the most common body systems involved with DNBI casualties. Among the BCT cohort the psychiatric DNBI casualty rate and suicide rate were 59.8 and 0.58 per 1,000 soldier combat-years. The BCT cohort incidence rates for common musculoskeletal injuries per 1,000 combat–years were as follows: ankle sprain 15.3, anterior cruciate ligament rupture 3.3 and shoulder dislocation 1.2. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal injuries and psychiatric disorders accounted for 74% of the total DNBI casualties, and 43% of the DNBI casualties requiring subsequent MEDEVAC. The BCT cohort had a suicide rate nearly four times greater than previously reported, and selected musculoskeletal injury incidence rates were fivefold greater than the general population.

AB - Purpose: To determine military women's attitudes toward menstruation and menstrual suppression with oral contraceptives in the deployed environment. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design with the administration of the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ) and the 55-item Military Women's Attitudes Towards Menstrual Suppression Scale (MWATMS) to a convenience sample (n = 278) of women in the U.S. Army with deployment experience. Findings: The MAQ's five subscales' mean scores ranged from 3.4 (±1.11) to 5.1 (±1.06), indicating neutral to moderate attitudes toward menstruation. Measurement development on the MWATMS produced a nine-item scale with three components: stress effects, benefits to self, and environmental barriers. Conclusion: Menstrual attitudes were generally neutral in this sample; however, military women favor menstrual suppression during deployment owing to the effects of stress during deployment, benefits that suppression would provide, and the barriers to menstrual hygiene in the deployed environment. Women who perceived menstruation as bothersome and debilitating had positive attitudes toward menstrual suppression. These findings can contribute to appropriate predeployment women's health care and improve the readiness for deployment in female soldiers. Providers should educate women on the risks and benefits of menstrual suppression methods and provide guidance on impact that the deployed environment can have on their menstrual experiences.

The stability and potential causes of this seemingly irrational preference were examined across three trials under different conditions, specifically, when the first test pair was identical or different, and when participants were explicitly told that the pairs would often be identical. Choice of no preference typically increased from the first to second trial, especially for groups who saw a pair of different samples on the first trial. The explicit instruction that samples might be the same failed to reduce expressing a preference on the initial trial although it had some effect on later trials. Analysis, by individuals, of sequences of preference or no-preference responses across trials support independence of sequential responses and argue against stable personal traits as a predictor of preference choice.

To begin, we develop and validate a measure of an individual's implicit assumption regarding the inherent morality of business. Then, using an in-basket exercise, we demonstrate that an implicit assumption that business is inherently moral impacts day-to-day business decisions and interacts with contextual cues to shape moral behavior. Ultimately, we offer evidence supporting a characterization of employees as reflexive interactionists: moral agents whose automatic decision-making processes interact with the environment to shape their moral behavior.

AB - Increasing concern over the effects of moderate altitude exposure on aircrew performance in unpressurized aircraft recently prompted efforts to formulate international standards for the use of supplementary oxygen. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of low to moderate levels of hypoxia on the cognitive performance of aircrew. Fifty participants were administered 45-minute exposures at altitudes of sea level, 8000, 10,000, 12,000 and 14,000 ft. Altitudes were simulated using the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device. Participants completed the CogScreen®-Hypoxia Edition (CogScreen®-HE) to measure cognitive performance. Saturation of peripheral oxygen showed that although the participants did become hypoxic (p < .001), there was no statistically significant change in reaction time (p = .781), accuracy (p = .152), or throughput (p = .967) with increasing altitude. The results indicate that healthy individuals do not experience significant cognitive deficit, as measured by the CogScreen®-HE, when exposed to moderate levels of hypoxia at or below 14,000 ft.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - This investigation evaluated the effects of a 13-month deployment to Iraq on body composition and selected fitness measures. Seventy-three combat arms soldiers were measured pre- and postdeployment. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Strength was measured by single repetition maximum (1-RM) lifts on bench press and squat. Power was assessed by a bench throw and squat jump. Aerobic endurance was evaluated with a timed 2-mile run. Exercise and injury history were assessed by questionnaire. Upper and lower body strength improved by 7% and 8%, respectively ( p < 0.001). Upper body power increased 9% ( p < 0.001) and lean mass increased 3% ( p < 0.05). In contrast, aerobic performance declined 13% ( p < 0.001) and fat mass increased 9% ( p < 0.05). Fewer soldiers participated in aerobic exercise or sports during deployment ( p < 0.001). Unit commanders should be aware of potential fitness and body composition changes during deployment and develop physical training programs to enhance fi tness following deployment.

AB - Objective: This study examined whether benefits of conflict probe automation would occur in a future air traffic scenario in which air traffic service providers (ATSPs) are not directly responsible for freely maneuvering aircraft but are controlling other nonequipped aircraft (mixed-equipage environment). The objective was to examine how the type of automation imperfection (miss vs. false alarm) affects ATSP performance and attention allocation. Background: Research has shown that the type of automation imperfection leads to differential human performance costs. Method: Participating in four 30-min scenarios were 12 full-performance-level ATSPs. Dependent variables included conflict detection and resolution performance, eye movements, and subjective ratings of trust and self confidence. Results: ATSPs detected conflicts faster and more accurately with reliable automation, as compared with manual performance. When the conflict probe automation was unreliable, conflict detection performance declined with both miss (25% conflicts detected) and false alarm automation (50% conflicts detected). Conclusion: When the primary task of conflict detection was automated, even highly reliable yet imperfect automation (miss or false alarm) resulted in serious negative effects on operator performance. Application: The further in advance that conflict probe automation predicts a conflict, the greater the uncertainty of prediction; thus, designers should provide users with feedback on the state of the automation or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of the data underlying the conflict probe algorithm.

AB - Objective: This study examined rates of utilization of mental health care among active duty and National Guard soldiers with mental health problems three and 12 months after they returned from combat in Iraq. Stigma and barriers to care were also reported for each component (active duty and National Guard). Methods: Cross-sectional, anonymous surveys were administered to 10,386 soldiers across both time points and components. Mean scores from 11 items measuring stigma and barriers to care were computed. Service utilization was assessed by asking soldiers whether they had received services for a mental health problem from a mental health professional, a medical doctor, or the Department of Veterans Affairs in the past month. Risk of mental problems was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire, the PTSD Checklist, and items asking about aggressive behaviors and 'stress, emotional, alcohol, or family' problems within the past month. Results: A higher proportion of active duty soldiers than National Guard soldiers reported at least one type of mental health problem at both three months (45% versus 33%) and 12 months (44% versus 35%) postdeployment. Among soldiers with mental health problems, National Guard soldiers reported significantly higher rates of mental health care utilization 12 months after deployment, compared with active duty soldiers (27% versus 13%). Mean stigma scores were higher among active duty soldiers than among National Guard soldiers. Conclusions: Active duty soldiers with a mental health problem had significantly lower rates of service utilization than National Guard soldiers and significantly higher endorsements of stigma. Current and future efforts to improve care for veterans should work toward reducing the stigma of receiving mental health care.

Copyright Statement: Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. 2010. AB - Comments on the original article Emotional intelligence: Toward clarification of a concept by Cary Cherniss (see record [rid]2010-13370-002[/rid]). One of the central endeavors of scholarly and applied industrial–organizational (I–O) psychology is the attempt to identify and enhance the personal characteristics that predict consequential workplace outcomes (e.g., job attitudes and job performance). Although traditionally focused on more traditional abilities and skills (e.g., cognitive and psychomotor ones), this enterprise increasingly has begun to focus on various socioemotional variables, such as personality traits (Barrick, Mount, & Judge, 2001), affective variables (Kaplan, Bradley, Luchman, & Haynes, 2009), and myriad interpersonal skills (Dudley & Cortina, 2008). In our view, emotional intelligence (EI) is the latest in this list of alternative predictors. Like its predecessors, EI has ardent supporters and vehement detractors. As Cherniss reviews, both camps have plenty of ammunition to cite in defending their respective views about the nature, measurement, and predictive value of EI (Cherniss, 2010). Also like many of its predecessors, EI, or more specifically I–O’s investigation into EI, has been somewhat misguided. Instead of first systematically delineating the nature and dimensionality of the criterion space and working backwards to identify relevant socioemotional predictors, the field once again has ‘‘started with the predictor and then gone in search of something to predict.’’ In this sense, the study of EI is another example of a somewhat flawed approach that management-related research often continues to follow, despite admonitions to do otherwise.

AB - When using multiobjective decision analysis with an additive value/utility model, we may define local ranges of the value measures that are bounded by the set of alternatives, or we can define global ranges of the value measures that are bounded by our preferences for some future set of alternatives. Local value models use the full value space defined by the alternatives to distinguish between the alternatives. Global value models may identify new objectives and may help us develop better alternatives, but the alternatives do not usually span the full global value space. We present a mathematical transformation of a global value model’s single-dimensional value functions and swing weights to a decision-focused value model using the global value, alternative scores, and transformation equations. When the transformation is appropriate, the decision-focused value model can provide useful distinctions to better communicate the trade-offs between alternatives. We prove that the transformation preserves the rank ordering of the alternatives, and we discuss the appropriate conditions for use.

Methods: Retrospective review using U.S. Military Health System’s Theater Medical Data Store and Joint Medical Workstation identified patients evaluated for syncope from January 2005 to October 2007 while deployed to a combat zone. Results: We identified 848 patients with syncope. The majority (80.8%) were under the age of 40. The diagnostic yield of the ECG was 2.0%. In those <40 years, there were no head CTs or transthoracic echocardiograms that identified a cause of syncope. There was no difference in evacuation out of theater between those <40 years and those >40 years (10.8% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.08). Patients with a prior episode of syncope were more likely to undergo medical evacuation outside of the combat zone (16.0% vs. 7.7%, p < 0.01). Discussion: Evacuation of those <40 years to facilities with advanced imaging did not add diagnostic information.

Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. AB - Physical therapists (PTs) serve as physician extenders performing direct access evaluations for musculoskeletal conditions. The previous war-time mission of PTs was limited to level III medical care. Recently PTs began providing care at levels I/II with brigade combat teams (BCTs). Purpose: Determine the sentiment of battlefield providers at levels I/II regarding the operational impact of PTs. Methods: Surveys were provided to BCT medical providers. Results: There were 107 responses (response rate of 51%). According to the responses, PTs made a significant impact on overall mission accomplishment (97%) and patient prognosis (83%) and were considered local experts in musculoskeletal pathology (92%), including the ordering of radiographs (79%). Their presence was thought to significantly decrease medical evacuations within theater (68%) and out of theater (73%). Conclusion: There was a positive sentiment toward PTs in the BCT, suggesting they are highly valued. Future studies need to clarify further operational, medical, and fiscal implications.

AB - Patriotism and nationalism, 2 sets of attitudes often associated with the military, are examined in relation to perceived combat readiness and intention to remain in military service. Transformational leadership served as an intervening variable in these relationships. Survey data obtained from a sample of Army National Guard soldiers (N =415) were used to examine relationships. Among junior-ranking enlisted soldiers, both patriotism and nationalism showed significant, positive associations with perceived combat readiness and intention to remain in military service. The structural equation model fit soldiers' nationalistic attitudes best, having a considerable indirect effect through transformational leadership on perceived combat readiness. Implications of nationalistic and patriotic attitudes combined with charismatic leaders to benefit soldier readiness and retention are discussed.

After the first month of the course, students had been exposed to the concepts of the derivative as a rate of change, average and instantaneous velocities, derivatives of exponential functions, the chain rule, and single-variable optimization problems. They had also begun to use a computer algebra system to explore functions graphically, estimate local extrema, and differentiate functions. Prior to taking this course, all students had completed a course in mathematical modeling with an introduction to differential calculus.

We argue that customer satisfaction evaluations are biased because they are anonymous judgments by untrained raters that usually lack an evaluation standard. Laboratory and field samples provide disturbing evidence generally confirming our arguments and suggesting that the presence of nonwhite and women service employees may produce lower aggregated customer satisfaction evaluations that may ultimately hurt individuals and organizations financially.

Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become the signature injury of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The use of improvised explosive devices has seen an exponential increase in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In previous conflicts prior to Iraq, survivability of such an injury was far less. Today, technological improvements in trauma care have increased an injured warfighter's chance of survival. A reduction in severe TBI has been achieved but an increase in mild or moderate TBI has been observed. The consequences of this kind of injury can be both physical and mental and can often be hidden or even misdiagnosed. The U.S. Army is interested in pursuing technological solutions for early detection and treatment of TBI to reduce its lasting impact on the warfighter. Such technological breakthroughs have benefit beyond the military, as TBI is a high probable event in nonmilitary settings as well. To gauge what technologies or methods are currently available, the U.S. Army's Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center partnered with the American Telemedicine Association to organize and conduct a discipline-specific symposium entitled 'Innovative New Technologies to Identify and Treat Traumatic Brain Injuries: Crossover Technologies and Approaches Between Military and Civilian Applications.' This symposium was held in Palm Springs, CA, in September 2009. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a unique opportunity for leaders from disparate organizations involved in telemedicine and related other activities to meet and explore opportunities to collaborate in new partnership models. The meeting was designed to help Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center identify opportunities to expand strategic operations and form new alliances. This report summarizes this symposium while raising awareness for collaboration into better ways of adapting and adopting technologies to address this growing health issue.

Both appraisal and mood mediated the relationship between trait resilience and psychological adjustment. Current mood states were a significant predictor of psychological adjustment beyond the trait of resilience and aspects of cognitive appraisal. Positive affect did relate to better psychological adjustment even under traumatic stress conditions.

The few extant studies showed that in-theater and shortly after returning from deployment, reserve and active duty personnel had similar rates of PTSD and related symptoms. Sometime after deployment, reserve personnel reported higher rates of PTSD and related symptoms than active duty personnel. A work stress model is used to develop several possible explanations of findings, having implications for practices to reduce stress symptoms among reservists and for improving research and theory of future studies examining PTSD and related symptoms among reservists.

One assumption is that the majority of soldiers play videogames regularly; however, research by Orvis, Horn, and Belanich (2009) found that only approximately 40% of U.S. Military Academy cadets reported moderate to heavy game-play. Given that cadets may be a special population, this research examines the frequency of videogame usage across the U.S. Army. Results indicate that fewer than 43% of over 10,000 soldiers surveyed play videogames at least weekly. Junior enlisted soldiers report the highest frequency (51–59%), whereas senior enlisted/officer ranks play much less (11–37%). Implications for utilizing serious videogames for military training are discussed.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - Continuous gradual change is often difficult to detect, although it may be easy to detect the difference between the initial and end state if directly compared. Two experiments examined people’s ability to detect gradual changes in icon position on a situation awareness map. People observed sequences of icon moves that consisted of ten .9-mm colinear moves or five 8.75-mm colinear moves and reported when they noticed a change. The relatively small moves were less likely to be detected than the relatively large moves; however, an entire sequence of the .9 mm moves was rarely missed. Green icon moves were significantly less likely to be detected than blue or yellow icon moves. This may have been due to the stimulus features of the icons or those features in interaction with the map background. Various methods that might assist icon change detection are discussed.

AB - The determination of whether an activity is performance improvement governed by The Joint Commission standards and local hospital policy or research governed by federal regulation and requiring institutional review board (IRB) review and approval can be complex, especially in academic clinical organizations. Both processes can address scientific validity, fair participant selection, favorable risk-benefit ratio, respect for participants, and independent review. In an attempt to guide staff as to whether their project needs IRB review or not, a performance improvement/research advisory panel (PIRAP) was formed to serve two military organizations. In this article, performance improvement and quality improvement is differentiated from research as much as possible, the composition and function of PIRAP is described, and guidelines for publishing findings that support the nature of the project are provided.

Copyright Statement: Association of Military Surgeons of U.S. 2000. AB - A total of 675,626 active duty Army soldiers who were known to be at risk for deployment to the Persian Gulf were followed from 1980 through the Persian Gulf War. Hospitalization histories for the entire cohort and Health Risk Appraisal surveys for a subset of 374 soldiers were used to evaluate prewar distress, health, and behaviors. Deployers were less likely to have had any prewar hospitalizations or hospitalization for a condition commonly reported among Gulf War veterans or to report experiences of depression/suicidal ideation. Deployers reported greater satisfaction with life and relationships but displayed greater tendencies toward risk taking, such as drunk driving, speeding, and failure to wear safety belts. Deployed veterans were more likely to receive hazardous duty pay and to be hospitalized for an injury than nondeployed Gulf War-era veterans. If distress is a predictor of postwar morbidity, it is likely attributable to experiences occurring during or after the war and not related to prewar exposures or health status. Postwar excess injury risk may be explained in part by a propensity for greater risk taking, which was evident before and persisted throughout the war.

AB - Objective: Studies have shown a relationship between combat experiences and alcohol misuse in military personnel; it is not known if there are specific combat experiences that confer a greater risk. The current study examined the association of specific types of combat experiences with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Methods: 1120 U.S. soldiers who were members of brigade combat infantry teams were surveyed anonymously 3–4 months after returning from deployment to Iraq regarding their experiences in combat and their physical and mental health. Combat items were independently rated and placed into the following categories: (1) Fighting; (2) Killing; (3) Threat to oneself; (4) Death/injury of others; (5) Atrocities; and, (6) Positive experiences. Alcohol misuse was measured using a 2-item alcohol screen combined with alcohol-related behavioral items. Results: Of the soldiers sampled, 25% (N = 275) screened positive for alcohol misuse 3–4 months post-deployment; 12% (N = 125) screened positive and exhibited alcohol-related behavioral problems. Most combat exposure factors were significantly related to alcohol misuse individually. When factors were analyzed simultaneously, soldiers who had higher rates of exposure to the threat of death/injury were significantly more likely to screen positive for alcohol misuse; exposure to atrocities predicted misuse of alcohol with alcohol-related behavioral problems. Conclusions: High exposure to threatening situations and atrocities was associated with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Clinicians treating combat veterans should be aware of the potential association of alcohol misuse with specific types of experiences and closely follow those soldiers upon their return home.

Purpose: To determine whether postoperative functional knee bracing influences outcomes. Study Design: Prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial. Methods: One hundred volunteers from the 3 US service academies with acute anterior cruciate ligament tears were randomized into braced or nonbraced groups. Only those subjects with anterior cruciate ligament tears treated surgically within the first 8 weeks of injury were included. Patients with chondral injuries, significant meniscal tears, or multiple knee ligament injuries were excluded. Surgical procedures and the postoperative physical therapy protocols were identical for both groups. The braced group was instructed to wear an off-the-shelf functional knee brace for all cutting, pivoting, or jumping activities for the first year after surgery. Results: Ninety-five subjects were available with a minimum 2-year follow-up. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in knee stability, functional testing with the single-legged hop test, International Knee Documentation Committee scores, Lysholm scores, knee range of motion, or isokinetic strength testing. Two braced subjects had reinjuries, and 3 nonbraced subjects had reinjuries. Conclusions: In this young, active population, postoperative bracing does not appear to change the clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Methods: In the first phase of the study, eight males walked on four occasions, in T-shirts, shorts, and shoes, at 50 % VO2max, for 60 min in either a 4 degrees C (cold) or 27 degrees C (temperate) environment in a state of HYPO or euhydration (EU). In the second phase, nine males in states of EU or HYPO randomly performed four trials consisting of 30 min standing at 27 degrees C, followed by 30 min of standing and 30 min of treadmill exercise at 50 % of VO2max, in either 4 degrees C or 27 degrees C air. Results: In phase 1, thirst sensations were lower throughout 60 min of exercise (P < 0.05) in both HYPO and EU conditions during the cold trials. In phase 2, despite elevated plasma osmolality (P < 0.05), perception of thirst and plasma arginine vasopressin [AVP] similarly decreased (P < 0.05) after 30-min standing rest and 30-min exercise in the HYPO-cold trial, compared with the HYPO-temperate, EU-cold, and EU-temperate trials. Conclusions: When either euhydrated or hypohydrated, cold exposure attenuated thirst by up to 40 % at rest and during moderate-intensity exercise. The attenuated thirst when hypohydrated during cold exposure was associated with lower plasma [AVP] despite an elevated plasma osmolality. This decline in thirst and AVP in the cold may be the result of peripheral vasoconstriction, mediating an increase in central blood volume and stimulation of central volume receptors.

Methods: Eighty-five untrained women (mean age = 23.1 +/- 3.5 yr) started in one of the following groups: total-body training [TP, N = 18 (3-8 RM training range) and TH, N = 21 (8-12 RM training range)], upper-body training [UP, N = 21 (3-8 RM training range) and UH, N = 19, (8-12 RM training range)], or a control group (CON, N = 6). Training took place on three alternating days per week for 24 wk. Assessments of body composition, muscular performance, and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were determined pretraining (T1), and after 12 (T2) and 24 wk (T3) of training. Results: Arm CSA increased at T2 (approximately 11 %) and T3 (approximately 6 %) in all training groups and thigh CSA increased at T2 (approximately 3 %) and T3 (approximately 4.5 %) only in TP and TH. Squat one-repetition maximum (1 RM) increased at T2 (approximately 24 %) and T3 (approximately 11.5 %) only in TP and TH and all training groups increased 1 RM bench press at T2 (approximately 16.5 %) and T3 (approximately 12.4 %). Peak power produced during loaded jump squats increased from T1 to T3 only in TP (12 %) and TH (7 %). Peak power during the ballistic bench press increased at T2 only in TP and increased from T1 to T3 in all training groups. Conclusions: Training specificity was supported (as sole upper-body training did not influence lower-body musculature) along with the inclusion of heavier loading ranges in a periodized resistance-training program. This may be advantageous in a total conditioning program directed at development of muscle tissue mass in young women.

For odor and control conditions, target-detection latency increased steadily over the course of the 3-hr. session. Administration of a tactile stimulus reduced the increase in detection latency compared to that found in odor and control conditions. For all conditions, there were no significant differences in target-detection frequency, shot accuracy, or friend-foe discrimination. Across all conditions, restlessness (motor activity) increased significantly the first hour and remained elevated for the rest of the session. Subjective measures of workload (NASA-TLX) indicated that the 3-hr. task rated high on physical demand, mental demand, frustration, and overall workload. These findings suggest that the intermittent delivery of a clearly detectable tactile stimulus can reduce reaction-time decrements that occur as time on task increases.

Experimental results show that copper plating the array elements and flip-chip bonding provides effective thermal management as well as offering uniform current distribution at microwave frequencies. This is verified by the radial dependence of modulation bandwidth. These arrays may be useful for short-range light detection and ranging or free-space optical communications systems.

Musings from the virtual world JO - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology & Ecology JF - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology & Ecology Y1 - 2009/12/02/Dec2009 Supplement VL - 381 M3 - Article SP - S188 EP - S203 SN - 00220981 AB - Abstract: Hypoxia is often associated with increasing nutrient loadings and has clear mortality effects on sessile organisms, but its population effects on mobile organisms in coastal environments are uncertain. The evidence for hypoxia having population level effects is laboratory experiments, many examples of localized effects in nature, a few population-level examples, fish kills, and intuition. Despite the perception by many people, none of these provide conclusive evidence of widespread population responses to hypoxia. We synthesize the results from seven ecological simulation models that examined how low dissolved oxygen (DO) affected fish at the individual, population, and community levels. These models represent a variety of species, simulate the dynamics at a range of temporal scales and spatial scales, and impose a variety of subsets of possible DO effects. Several patterns emerged from the accumulated results. First, predicted responses were large in simpler models, and small to large in more complex models. Second, while the main effects of increased hypoxia were generally small to moderate, there were instances of relatively large indirect effects and interaction effects. Indirect effects involved growth and mortality responses due to altered spatial distribution (rather than due directly to DO) and food web interactions. Interaction effects were larger responses to hypoxia when other factors were at certain levels (e.g., responses at low versus high fish densities). Interactions also occurred when the predicted responses were larger than would be expected by the sum of the separate effects. Third, accurate information on exposure and degree of avoidance of low DO were critical unknowns. Our interpretations should be viewed as suggestive rather than definitive. The patterns described were based on a collection of modeling results that were not designed to be compared to each other. A quick look at other models seems to confirm our patterns, or at minimum, does not contradict our patterns. Quantifying the effects of hypoxia on fish populations, whether large or small, is critical for effective management of coastal ecosystems and for cost-effective and efficient design of remediation actions. The potential for interaction and indirect effects complicates field study and management. Improving our predictions of the effects of hypoxia on fish populations and communities has moved from a computational issue to a biological issue. We seem to be making progress on monitoring and modeling movement behavior, but progress is slower in food web theory and empirical research and in quantifying interspecific interactions and habitat quality in terms of process rates that relate to population dynamics.

Botulinum toxin has been of concern to the US military and its allies as a biowarfare weapon since World War II and, in more recent times, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a potential bioterrorist threat to the public. The most effective means of defending against the toxin is by inducing a protective immune response through vaccination. Vaccination with an appropriate antigen will produce neutralizing antibodies that will bind to and clear toxin from the circulation before it can enter nerve cells and block neurotransmission. Immunity from botulism, however, has the disadvantage of precluding an individual from realizing the potential benefits of therapeutic botulinum toxin, if such a need were to arise. Botulinum toxin has been used in the treatment of numerous neuromuscular, autonomic, and sensory disorders since it was first approved for the management of strabismus and blepharospasm by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989. Notwithstanding the value of the neurotoxin as a therapeutic drug, vaccines have been and will continue to be an important line of defense for those who work with the toxin (at-risk workers) and a select population of the military, law enforcement, and first responders. The first vaccine used to protect against botulinum neurotoxin was a chemically detoxified extract from Clostridium botulinum. A Pentavalent botulinum toxoid (PBT) vaccine in service today is administered under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application held by the CDC. Recombinant subunit vaccines are in development and a bivalent Hc vaccine (rBV A/B (Pichia pastoris)) is presently being evaluated in a phase II clinical trial. This review focuses on botulism and the development of vaccines for its prevention.

T1 - Effect of Oxygen-Absorbing Packaging on the Shelf Life of a Liquid-Based Component of Military Operational Rations. JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 74 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - E167 EP - E176 SN - 00221147 AB - Oxygen within the sealed package can reduce the quality of liquid-based food products with high oil content such as hot-filled meal-ready-to-eat (MRE) cheese spread, a component of military operational rations. The aim of this study was to test a novel oxygen absorber-containing laminate material and its ability to maintain and/or extend shelf life of a cheese-spread MRE item. An iron-based oxygen absorber (ABSO2RB®) activated by moisture was incorporated into the laminate and used to pack hot-filled cheese spread MREs. The kinetics of oxygen absorption due to humidity and temperature were characterized and peel tests performed to ensure pouch seal integrity. Accelerated shelf-life tests of ABSO2RB and regular MRE pouches without the O2-absorber were conducted for 3 mo at 51.7 °C (125 °F), and 6 mo at 37.8 °C (100 °F) by measuring oxygen concentration (Mocon O2-analyzer), microbiological, and physicochemical quality characteristics, including color, texture, moisture, free fatty acid (FFA), pH, water activity, and vitamins and A. Pouches stored at 26.7 °C (80 °F) for 12 mo served as calibrated controls. Consumer tests were conducted in-house and a confirmatory sensory test was conducted at Natick by a trained panel using a 9-point hedonic scale. ABSO2RB-laminates maintain the same seal integrity and strength as those of the control samples. The headspace oxygen concentrations in these pouches reached ( P < 0.05) < 0.5% in 11 d of storage at 26.7 °C (80 °F) and remained below this level throughout the storage period (1 y). No microbial growth (aerobic, coliforms, yeast, and molds) was detected ( P < 0.05) for both packages. Overall, the ABSO2RB-pouches indicate an improved reduction in oxygen and vitamin C retention compared with MRE controls and maintained product quality (physicochemical and organoleptic). ABSO2RB-laminates met the accelerated shelf-life requirement of 1 mo at 51.7 °C (125 °F), and 6 mo at 37.8 °C (100 °F). This study clearly shows the benefits of using active packaging technology on retaining nutrition and prolonging shelf life of high-fat, liquid content MRE items.

The potential for casualties in unprecedented numbers makes advance planning very important, even if the threat seems remote or unlikely. The spectrum of therapy ranges from immediate issues of airway and circulation to definitive antimicrobial measures to sustained protection. Prophylaxis and treatment of bacterial and toxin-mediated diseases are relatively straightforward, but the likely effects of viral weapons would be much more difficult to control using medications. Just-in-time inventory practices reduce the number of patient-days of antimicrobial therapy likely to be readily available in a pharmacist's practice. Additional sources of supply include wholesalers, nearby hospitals, state, regional, and federal resources, and manufacturers. Psycho-social aspects of biological terrorism will pose additional challenges beyond those seen in the clinical care of individual patients. Possible scenarios include inadequate or misunderstood communications, self-diagnosis, hoarding, irrational demands, anxiety, and the like. Inadequate clinical experience will raise questions about rational medication use for the elderly, immunosuppressed people, pregnant women, children, and infants. In planning for biological terrorism, pharmacists should maintain references in a disaster file, help with educational activities, and focus on meeting the medication needs of their patients. Learning objectives: 1. Name microbes considered likely to be employed as biological weapons. 2. Name corresponding antimicrobial agents likely to help prevent or treat diseases caused by biological weapons. 3. Name sources of additional supply for pharmaceuticals likely to be used in the aftermath of biological weapon release. Self-assessment questions: Multiple choice: 1. Which of the following microbes is not frequently mentioned as a possible agent in biological terrorism? a. Smallpox; b. Anthrax; c. Plague; d. Tetanus. 2. Which of the following antibiotics is not frequently mentioned as a correspondent antimicrobial agent? a. Ciprofloxacin; b. Rimantadine; c. Anthrax vaccine; d. Vaccinia immune globulin. 3. Which of the following is not a likely source for resupply after biological terrorism? a. Nearby towns; b. Other hospitals; c. Durable-medical equipment supplier; d. Pharmaceutical wholesalers.

AB - Leaders continuously seek to improve organizational performance and enhance work group effectiveness to drive competitiveness and curtail the cost of employee turnover. The diversity of many work groups in the U.S. creates potential benefits and challenges for their leaders. Using data gathered from a manufacturing facility in southeastern U.S., this study examines how Path-Goal leadership styles, diversity, work group effectiveness, and work group members' turnover intention are related. Although all three Path-Goal leadership styles demonstrated significant positive correlations with work group effectiveness, only the Supportive style showed a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Interestingly, work group effectiveness showed no significant correlation with turnover intention.

The central problem of the article relates to enzyme kinetics, which is a biochemical system. However, the theoretical underpinnings that lead to the formation of systems of time-dependent ordinary differential equations have been applied widely to any biological system that involves modeling of populations. In this project, students first learn about the general balance equation, which is a statement of conservation within a system. They then learn how to simplify the balance equation for several specific cases involving chemically reacting systems. Derivations are reinforced with a concrete experiment in which enzyme kinetics are illustrated with pennies. While a working knowledge of differential equations and numerical techniques is helpful as a prerequisite for this set of activities, all of the requisite mathematical skills are introduced in the project, so the methods would also serve as an introduction to these techniques. It is also helpful if students have some basic understanding of chemical concepts such as concentration and reaction rate, as typically covered in high school or college freshman chemistry courses.

Students from different majors were brought together in groups and spent the first few days going over the mathematics material presented here. They then spent a day separated into their respective departments to learn how their chosen fields viewed and contributed to issues related to DNA and gene technologies. Afterwards, the students reconvened in their groups to develop and give presentations advising a hypothetical candidate for public office on the many diverse viewpoints associated with this topic. While the coursework in calculus is essential for this project as presented here, some level of biology coursework will also greatly assist student understanding. In the absence of biology coursework, additional reading material can be provided to introduce the relevant concepts.

AB - This project is one of four that were issued to first semester sophomore undergraduates at the United States Military Academy as part of an integrated learning experience at the end of their Calculus II coursework. This project was used during a short, seven lesson block of instruction that was intended to capitalize on their recent academic decision—the student body had just selected their majors. Given that the students had only seven days to 'solve' the problem, the focus was not on the details of developing the mathematical model. Instead, students were instructed to include several specified assumptions in a model that they would develop using a provided flow diagram. A computer algebra system was used to determine a numerical solution to the resulting system of differential equations. After completing this simplified approach to modeling a complicated biological problem, the focus shifted to the connection between the 'math' and the 'real world solution.' The specific objectives of this experience were to develop student awareness of the role of mathematics in all disciplines as well as the effect of other disciplines on the development of mathematical models and solutions of 'real world' situations.

AB - Little systematic research has been reported to advance understanding of the characteristics associated with individuals who initiate self-development activities to grow leadership skills. The purpose of the present research was to examine cognitive, dispositional, and motivational precursors to the propensity to engage in leadership self-development. A second purpose was to examine the role of organizational support on the relationships between self-development propensity and reported self-development activities. Over 400 junior-military leaders participated in a three-stage survey administration designed to test a structural model of leader self-development. Results indicate that a person having individual characteristics related to mastery, work, and career-growth orientations displayed more motivation to perform leader self-development and more skilled at performing instructional and self-regulatory processes. Higher self-development motivation and skill resulted in greater reported self-development activities. Surprisingly, organizational support reduced the magnitude of this relationship. This study concludes with implications for future research on and practice of leader self-development activities.

AB - Muscle electrical activity, or 'electromyogenic' (EMG) artifact, poses a serious threat to the validity of electroencephalography (EEG) investigations in the frequency domain. EMG is sensitive to a variety of psychological processes and can mask genuine effects or masquerade as legitimate neurogenic effects across the scalp in frequencies at least as low as the alpha band (8–13 Hz). Although several techniques for correcting myogenic activity have been described, most are subjected to only limited validation attempts. Attempts to gauge the impact of EMG correction on intracerebral source models (source 'localization' analyses) are rarer still. Accordingly, we assessed the sensitivity and specificity of one prominent correction tool, independent component analysis (ICA), on the scalp and in the source-space using high-resolution EEG. Data were collected from 17 participants while neurogenic and myogenic activity was independently varied. Several protocols for classifying and discarding components classified as myogenic and non-myogenic artifact (e.g., ocular) were systematically assessed, leading to the exclusion of one-third to as much as three-quarters of the variance in the EEG. Some, but not all, of these protocols showed adequate performance on the scalp. Indeed, performance was superior to previously validated regression-based techniques. Nevertheless, ICA-based EMG correction exhibited low validity in the intracerebral source-space, likely owing to incomplete separation of neurogenic from myogenic sources. Taken with prior work, this indicates that EMG artifact can substantially distort estimates of intracerebral spectral activity. Neither regression- nor ICA-based EMG correction techniques provide complete safeguards against such distortions. In light of these results, several practical suggestions and recommendations are made for intelligently using ICA to minimize EMG and other common artifacts.

The chapter begins with an exploration of the increase in the number of adults in higher education since 1969. Comparing the changes in demographics from 1969 to 2007 shows how little large public universities have done to integrate adults into higher education. This examination shows significant participation by three types of institutions; community colleges, small private four year liberal arts institutions, and for-profit institutions created to meet the higher education needs of adults. The chapter defines adult and higher education and discusses how they differ or interact. A discussion of how adult students learn and effective techniques to facilitate learning in adult classrooms follows these definitions. Finally, a discussion identifying how teaching techniques that are effective for adults can be integrated into traditional classrooms in higher education brings the chapter to a close.

Negative forms of leadership have recently become a popular topic of study, yet most of the attention has focused on intentionally committed behaviors. To address other forms of negative leadership, the present review will discuss the nature and antecedents of leader errors. We propose an error taxonomy based on Fleishman, Mumford, Zaccaro, Levin, Korotkin, and Hein's behavioral framework and explore the antecedents of these errors at leader, group, and organization levels of analysis. The review has implications for practice by highlighting factors that should be controlled in order to reduce the frequency of errors. Finally, the review will discuss how leader errors should be incorporated into empirical research and the antecedents and outcomes of errors upon which future research should focus. For practitioners and researchers alike, the review will enhance the understanding of what errors are and why they occur.

The US ARMY developed a game-based simulation to support Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Training. The TC3 Game based Simulation is a first person game that allows a Soldier to play the role of a combat medic during an infantry squad mission in an urban environment. This research documents results from a training effectiveness evaluation conducted at the Department of Combat Medic Training (Ft Sam Houston) in an effort to explore the capability of the game based simulation as a potential tool to support the TCCC program of instruction. Reaction to training, as well as, acquisition of knowledge and transfer of skills were explored using Kirkpatrick's Model of Training Effectiveness Evaluation. Results from the evaluation are discussed.

AB - Background: Depression, sometimes with suicidal manifestations, is a medical condition commonly seen in primary care clinics. Routine screening for depression and suicidal ideation is recommended of all adult patients in the primary care setting because it offers depressed patients a greater chance of recovery and response to treatment, yet such screening often is overlooked or omitted. Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop, to implement, and to test the efficacy of a systematic depression screening process to increase the identification of depression in family members of active duty soldiers older than 18 years at a military family practice clinic located on an Army infantry post in the Pacific. Methods: The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care was used to develop a practice guideline incorporating a decision algorithm for nurses to screen for depression. A pilot project to institute this change in practice was conducted, and outcomes were measured. Results: Before implementation, approximately 100 patients were diagnosed with depression in each of the 3 months preceding the practice change. Approximately 130 patients a month were assigned a 311.0 Code 3 months after the practice change, and 140 patients per month received screenings and were assigned the correct International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision Code 311.0 at 1 year. The improved screening and coding for depression and suicidality added approximately 3 minutes to the patient screening process. The education of staff in the process of screening for depression and correct coding coupled with monitoring and staff feedback improved compliance with the identification and the documentation of patients with depression. Nurses were more likely than primary care providers to agree strongly that screening for depression enhances quality of care. Discussion: Data gathered during this project support the integration of military and civilian nurse-facilitated screening for depression in the military primary care setting. The decision algorithm should be adapted and tested in other primary care environments.

In the original article the order of authors was incorrectly listed. The correct author order should read: Jennifer S. Tucker, Katie M. Gunther and Robert J. Pleban.] Researchers posit that adaptability is an important contributor of performance and that it mediates the effects of distal predictors on performance. As limited empirical evidence supports these relationships, the present research examined whether adaptive skill mediated the effects of values on performance for military leaders. We found that adaptive skill was a distinct construct which uniquely contributed to overall performance. Further, we found that adaptive skill fully mediated the effects of values on technical-administrative behaviors and partially mediated the effects of values on contextual performance and leader behaviors. We discuss the need to further test the nomological network of KSAO-adaptability-performance relationships.

Issue Publication Date: 2010. AB - Injuries are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality confronting U.S. military forces in peacetime or combat operations. Not only are injuries the biggest health problem of the military services, they are also a complex problem. The leading causes of deaths are different from those that result in hospitalization, which are different from those that result in outpatient care. As a consequence, it is not possible to focus on just one level of injury severity if the impact of injuries on military personnel is to be reduced. To effectively reduce the impact of a problem as big and complex as injuries requires a systematic approach. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) review the steps of the public health process for injury prevention; (2) review literature on evaluation of the scientifıc quality and consistency of information needed to make decisions about prevention policies, programs, and interventions; and (3) summarize criteria for setting objective injury prevention priorities. The review of these topics will serve as a foundation for making recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of injury prevention efforts in the military and similarly large communities. This paper also serves as an introduction to the other articles in this supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that illustrate the recommended systematic approach.

Specifically, we propose that via the tenets of social learning, individuals can observe, cognitively model, emulate, and over time master courageous behaviors. We discuss how role models can influence the courage development process by providing protégés opportunities for mastery experiences, vicarious learning, social persuasion, and physiological and emotional arousal. Lastly, we outline how the behaviors of transformational leaders (i.e., intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, idealized influence, and inspirational motivation) can significantly influence the development of courage in followers.

AB - The Battlemind Training System is the cornerstone upon which the U.S. Army’s mental health training system is based. Battlemind is defined as the inner strength to face fear and adversity in combat with courage. Within this framework, courage is defined as the power to face unpleasant facts. The model proposes that courage in military (and civilian) life is developed and sustained by three interactive components: Courageous Actions, Battlemind, and Sustaining Forces. The Battlemind Model of Courage proposes that courage is a complex and dynamic force involving several interacting processes that can be developed and sustained without appealing to supernatural skills, abilities or predispositions, and provides a strength-based approach to understanding courage without appealing to overcoming weaknesses such as fear.

AB - This chapter presents a dynamic personality system approach to defining what we call a courageous mindset. A cognitive affective processing system approach is used to describe how the activation of encoding categories, expectancies, goals, values, affects and self-regulatory plans are activated to promote courage in certain contexts and not in others. In this dynamic approach, courage is formed through an interaction of various internal resources (i.e., aspects of positive psychological states and traits and core values and beliefs) and external resources (i.e., affirming normative and informational social forces) that activate to reduce the level of fear experienced when facing a risk and that bolster courageous action despite residual experienced fear. Finally, intrapersonal attribution processes are proposed to influence self-perceptions of courageousness, and that through self-reflection will develop and reinforce the courageous mindset, perpetuating future courageous action.

Plasma volume, heart rate (HR) variability, and stimulus-response relationships for baroreflex control of forearm vascular resistance (FVR) and HR were studied in eight healthy men after and without performing a bout of maximal exercise to test the hypotheses that acute expansion of plasma volume is associated with 1) reduction in baroreflex-mediated HR response, and 2) altered operational range for central venous pressure (CVP). Methods. The relationship between stimulus (delta CVP) and vasoconstrictive reflex response (delta FVR) during unloading of cardiopulmonary baroreceptors was assessed with lower-body negative pressure (LBNP, 0, -5, -10, -15, -20 mm Hg). The relationship between stimulus (delta mean arterial pressure (MAP)) and cardiac reflex response (delta HR) during loading of arterial baroreceptors was assessed with steady-state infusion of phenylephrine (PE) designed to increase MAP by 15 mm Hg alone and during application of LBNP (PE+LBNP) and neck pressure (PE+LBNP+NP). Measurements of vascular volume and autonomic baroreflex responses were conducted on two different test days, each separated by at least 1 wk. On one day, baroreflex response was tested 24 h after graded cycle exercise to volitional exhaustion. On another day, measurement of baroreflex response was repeated with no exercise (control). The order of exercise and control treatments was counterbalanced. Results. Baseline CVP was elevated (P = 0.04) from a control value of 10.5 +/- 0.4 to 12.3 +/- 0.4 mm Hg 24 h after exercise. Average delta FVR/delta CVP during LBNP was not different (P = 0.942) between the exercise (-1.35 +/- 0.32 pru.mm Hg-1) and control (-1.32 +/- 0.36 pru.mm Hg-1) conditions. However, maximal exercise caused a shift along the reflex response relationship to a higher CVP and lower FVR. HR baroreflex response (delta HR/delta MAP) to PE+LBNP+NP was lower (P = 0.015) after maximal exercise (-0.43 +/- 0.15 beats.min-1.mm Hg-1) compared with the control condition (-0.83 +/- 0.14 beats.min-1.mm Hg-1). Conclusion. Expansion of vascular volume after acute exercise is associated with altered operational range for CVP and reduced HR response to arterial baroreceptor stimulation.

One of these initiatives is the Army Compatible Use Buffer program, which was created to resolve issues installation encroachment. This program started when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent a biological opinion to Fort Bragg indicating that scheduled training activities would encroach on the habitat of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. The Army had to negotiate with the community outside the base because the training restrictions would shut down a number of training areas.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 28 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - We evaluated the potential for several North American mosquito species to transmit the newly introduced West Nile (WN) virus. Mosquitoes collected in a metropolitan area in New York city, New York, USA during the recent WN virus outbreak, at the Assateague Island Wildlife Refuge, Virginia, or from established colonies were allowed to feed on chickens infected with WN virus isolated from a crow that died during the 1999 outbreak. These mosquitoes were tested ~2 weeks later to determine infection, dissemination, and transmission rates. Aedes albopictus (Skuse), Aedes atropalpus (Coquillett), and Aedes japonicus (Theobald) were highly susceptible to infection, and nearly all individuals with a disseminated infection transmitted virus by bite. Culex pipiens and Aedes sollicitans (Walker) were moderately susceptible. In contrast, Aedes vexans (Meigen), Aedes aegypti, and Aedes taeniorhynchus (Wiedemann) were relatively refractory to infection, but individual mosquitoes inoculated with WN virus did transmit virus by bite. Infected female Culex pipiens transmitted WN virus to one of 1618 F1 progeny, indicating the potential for vertical transmission of this virus. In addition to laboratory vector competence, host-feeding preferences, relative abundance, and season of activity also determine the role that these species could play in transmitting WN virus.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - We examined the effect of simulated overwintering temperatures on West Nile (WN) virus replication in C. pipiens derived from mosquitoes collected during the autumn 1999 WN epizootic in New York, USA. The WN virus was a strain isolated from a dead crow also collected during this outbreak. Virus was recovered from most mosquitoes held exclusively at 26°C. In contrast, none of the mosquitoes held exclusively at the lower temperatures had detectable infections. When mosquitoes were transferred to 26°C after being held at 10°C for 21- 42 d, infection and dissemination rates increased with increased incubation at 26°C. Future studies involving the attempted isolation of WN virus from overwintering mosquitoes may benefit from holding the mosquitoes at 26°C before testing for infectious virus.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Eggs from 7 colony lines of the chigger mite L. imphalum were examined for infection with O. tsutsugamushi, the aetiologic agent of scrub typhus. The polymerase chain reaction using primers OtP 56.809 and OtM 56.1221, which amplify a 291 bp region of the P56 gene of O. tsutsugamushi, was used to detect scrub typhus within single eggs. All 7 chigger mite lines produced infected eggs with varying rates of infection (Li1=8.1%, n=124; Li2=45.6%, n=90; Li3=30.1%, n=144; Li4=31.7%, n=145; Li5=21.3%, n=136; Li6=41.6% n=77; Li7=22.5%, n=110). The 3 weeks with the highest infection rates for each line using Fourier analysis were as follows: Li1=2, 7, 14; Li 2=4, 6, 12; Li 3=3, 6, 12; Li4=4, 6, 12; Li5=5, 7, 14; Li7=4, 6, 12. Li6 only had 9 measurements over time; therefore, Li6 was excluded from individual analysis. Infection rates of scrub typhus in eggs occurred in a 2-week 2-d cycle, using Fourier analysis of combined data. Not only did infection rates vary among the progeny of females, but temporal variation also occurred.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - In 1997, ticks removed from humans and received alive by the Tick-Borne Disease Laboratory of the US Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) were tested for pathogens by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Thirty-three of 222 (15%) Amblyomma americanum DNAs produced amplicons of the expected size of Ehrlichia chaffeensis and 26/222 (12%) produced amplicons indicating Borrelia burgdorferi. Five (2%) appeared to be co-infected with both organisms. Thirteen of 308 (4%) Dermacentor variabilis were PCR-positive for spotted fever group rickettsiae. Restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis indicated all were Rickettsia montanensis. 127 D. variabilis from Monroe County, Wisconsin, USA were tested for B. burgdorferi and 14 (11%) were positive. Five of 24 (21%) Ixodes scapularis were positive for B. burgdorferi and one (2%) was positive for the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis. Different species of ticks transmit different pathogens, and most tick-borne diseases have similar early symptoms, therefore knowing the species and infection status of the tick enhances the physician's ability to consider tick-borne agents as a potential cause of disease and recommend appropriate therapy. Ongoing surveillance of the vector species of human diseases provides an additional estimate of human encounters with infected ticks, and testing ticks removed from humans may increase our knowledge of the vector status of tick species for transmitting tick-borne pathogens.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 18 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Vertical transmission of O. tsutsugamushi, the aetiologic agent for scrub typhus, was studied in 2 lines of naturally infected L. deliense. In one line of mites originating from a single adult (V3M), the rate of filial transmission was 100% for the first 2 laboratory generations, but declined to 86.6% in the third laboratory generation. The vertical infection rate in this line of mites was 100% for the parental generation, but declined to 95.6% for the F1 generation and 88.6% for F2. The transmission of O. tsutsugamushi in another line of L. deliense (V3F) was less efficient than mites originating from V3M. In the initial laboratory generation of V3F a filial transmission rate of 100% was recorded. However, none of the F2 generation of this line transmitted rickettsiae to mice (Mus musculus), resulting in a filial transmission rate of 0%. Transmission of O. tsutsugamushi to mice by progeny from cohort larvae originally from the same adult (V3F) was also studied in the laboratory and these were found to be relatively poor transmitters of rickettsiae. The filial infection rate of F2 larvae was 60%, F3 was 88.8%, and F4 was 55.9%. The biology of infected L. deliense was studied and compared with uninfected mites reared under the same laboratory conditions. The results showed that infected female L. deliense laid approximately the same or more eggs as uninfected adults. The rate of development of the progeny of infected L. deliense was not significantly different from uninfected mites. The developmental biology and fecundity of naturally-infected and uninfected L. deliense is also reported.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases N2 - Upon redeployment to Fort Lewis, Washington, USA from Operation Sea Signal in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 5% of a military police unit was identified as positive for purified protein derivative (PPD). A case-control study was conducted to document the number of converters and to identify risk factors among the soldiers for PPD conversion while in Cuba. 46 soldiers (3.7% of the unit) met the criteria for PPD conversion as a result of deployment. 44 converters and 84 controls completed the surveys. Logistic regression showed that statistically significant independent risk factors for PPD conversion included working around coughing migrants (odds ratio (OR)=6.73, 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.2-20.4) and birthplace outside the United States (OR=4.89, 95% CI=1.3-18.5). Contact in the psychiatric hospital (OR=0.22, 95% CI=0.05-0.90) and contact with migrants with known tuberculosis (OR=0.16, 95% CI=0.05-0.54) appeared to be protective factors, possibly because known tuberculosis patients and hospitalized patients most likely would be on treatment and rendered noninfectious. With the U.S. military's involvement in humanitarian and refugee operations in countries highly endemic for tuberculosis, service members are at increased risk of acquiring tuberculosis infection. Detection of tuberculosis infection and appropriate treatment should become a higher priority within the U.S. military.

Initial screening of sera from 9673 military personnel on active duty in 1997 was performed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); supplemental testing of all ELISA-positive sera was performed by Western blot. Initial screening identified 1594 (16.5%) ELISA-positive samples, but only 12 (0.12%, 95% confidence interval, CI=0.05-0.19%) were confirmed by Western blot. Antecedent serum samples collected from 1988 to 1996 were available for 7368 (76%) subjects, accounting for 34 020 person-years of observation. Just two of the nine Western blot-positive individuals for whom antecedent samples were available seroconverted during military service for an annual incidence rate of six seroconversions per 100 000 persons (95% CI=0.7-21.5). The risk of Lyme disease in the U.S. military population was found to be low. Although there may be sub-groups of military personnel who could potentially benefit from vaccination, force-wide use of the Lyme disease vaccine is not warranted.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Aromatic & Medicinal Plants; Tropical Diseases; Botanical Pesticides N2 - The single-dose pharmacokinetics of 100 mg of orally administered artesunate (AS) were studied in 6 patient volunteers with uncomplicated falciparum malaria stationed near the Thai-Cambodian border and in 6 healthy volunteers recruited from the Thai Army in Bangkok. Plasma concentrations of both the parent drug, AS, and its major metabolite, dihydroartemisinin (DHA), were measured simultaneously by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection (ECD). The antimalarial activity of each plasma sample measured by an in vitro bioassay (BA) was used to derive activity concentrations. Artesunate was absorbed rapidly and then almost completely hydrolysed to DHA in patients, whereas hydrolysis was incomplete in healthy volunteers. The mean±standard deviation (SD) maximum concentration (Cmax) of AS was 296±110 nmol/litre, the time to peak blood level (tmax) was 0.71±0.66 h, the half-life (t1/2,z) was 0.41±0.34 h, and the bioavailability over 12 h (area under the curve, AUC(0-12)) was 253±185 nmol h/litre. Measured by HPLC, the Cmax and AUC(0-12) values of DHA in patients with malaria were significantly greater than in volunteers (1948±772 and 1192±315 nmol/litre; 4024±1585 and 1763±607 nmol h/litre, respectively; P≤0.05). These differences were even greater when measured by BA. The Cmax for patients with malaria was 2894±2497 and 795±455 nmol/litre for volunteers, and AUC(0-12) was 5970±3625 and 1307±391 nmol h/litre, respectively (P≤0.05). In contrast, DHA parameter estimates for t1/2,z and tmax were similar between patients and healthy volunteers, with values of 0.80±0.30 vs. 0.87±0.06 h and 1.50±0.55 vs. 1.13±0.52 h, respectively (P>0.5). Both drug metabolism and tissue protein binding could contribute to the differences between the antimalarial activity of artemisinin drugs in healthy volunteers and malaria infected patients.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Regional fat distribution (RFD) has been associated with metabolic derangements in populations with obesity. For example, upper body fat patterning is associated with higher levels of free testosterone (FT) and lower levels of sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). We sought to determine the extent to which this relationship was true in a healthy (i.e., non-obese) female population, and whether RFD influenced androgen responses to resistance exercise. This study examined the effects of RFD on total testosterone (TT), FT and SHBG responses to an acute resistance exercise test (ARET) among 47 women (22±3 years; 165±6 cm; 62±8 kg; 25±5% BF; 23±3 BMI) [USA; date not given]. RFD was characterized by 3 separate indices: waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), ratio of upper arm fat to mid-thigh fat assessed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ratio), and ratio of subscapular to triceps ratio (SB/TRi ratio). Skinfolds were measured for the triceps, chest, subscapular, mid-axillary, suprailiac, abdomen and thigh regions. The ARET consisted of 6 sets of 10 RM squats separated by 2-min rest periods. Blood was obtained pre- and post- ARET. TT, FT and SHBG concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. Subjects were divided into tertiles from the indices of RFD, and statistical analyses were performed by an ANOVA with repeated measures (RFD and exercise as main effects). Significant (P≤0.05) increases following the AHRET were observed for TT (~25%), FT (~25%) and SHBG (4%). With multiple regression analysis, anthropometric measures significantly predicted pre-concentrations of FT, post-concentrations of TT, and pre-concentrations of SHBG. The SB/TRi and MRI ratios but not the WHR, were discriminant for hormonal concentrations among the tertiles. It is concluded that in young, healthy women, resistance exercise can induce transient increases in testosterone, and anthropometric markers of adiposity correlate with testosterone concentrations.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 22 ref. Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluorescent immunoassays (DELFIA) were developed for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B, Yersinia pestis-specific F1 antigen, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. these assays were compared to previously developed ELISAs by determining the sensitivity or limit of detection (LOD), the dynamic range, and the reproducibility of each assay in a number of different sample matrices. The sensitivity and specificity of each assay were then determined by using a small panel of blinded spiked and nonspiked samples. All 3 DELFIAs demonstrated at least one log greater sensitivity than corresponding ELISAs utilizing the same reagents and showed an increase in dynamic range of at least 2 log10 concentrations. This increased LOD resulted in higher sensitivity rates for the DELFIA. The specificity of all of the assays evaluated was 100%, and no sample matrix effects were observed in either format. However, the reproducibility of the DELFIA was poor due to randomly distributed wells exhibiting excessive background signal (hot wells), which occurred throughout the evaluation. As this technology matures, the reproducibility of these assays should improve, as will the ability to identify hot wells. Despite its sensitivity, the logistical burden associated with the DELFIA and the technical expertise required to complete assays and interpret the data limit the application of this technology to reference or large clinical laboratories.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health N2 - This paper presents the first reported occurrence of O. japonicus japonicus in the south of Mason-Dixon Line, Frederick County, Maryland, USA. 57 oviposition trap samples were collected throughout the county between 30 June and 24 August 2000. From 971 larvae reared from the oviposition traps, 5 species were identified: Ochlerotatus triseriatus (45%), O. japonicus japonicus (43%), Aedes albopictus (7%), Culex pipiens (4%), and Toxorynchites ritulus septentrionalis (<1%). O. japonicus japonicus was found widely distributed over the area sampled. This is the first record of A. albopictus in the county as well. Vector competence studies indicated that O. japonicus japonicus is an efficient laboratory vector of West Nile (WN) virus. Depending on the viral titre at time of feeding, the estimated transmission rates of WN virus by O. japonicus japonicus were 2-4 times higher than that for C. pipiens. Studies of the viral titre in mosquitoes over time showed that titres in the bodies of infected O. japonicus japonicus reached their peak (~106.5 plaque-forming units/mosquito) between 7 and 11 days after taking an infectious blood meal, and that virus became detectable in the legs (an indicator of disseminated infection) as early as 3 days after taking an infectious blood meal.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Tropical Diseases; Veterinary Science N2 - A study was conducted to identify a genetic locus encoding a major B. mallei virulence determinant using subtractive hybridization between B. mallei and B. thailandensis. An insertion sequence (IS407A) at one end of the capsule gene cluster was identified and demonstrated to be functional in B. mallei. Mutations were introduced in the B. mallei capsular gene cluster and the corresponding mutants were examined for their reactivity with antibodies raised against B. psuedomallei surface polysaccharides by immunoblotting and ELISA. ATCC 23344 reacted with the capsular antibodies and formed a thick and evenly distributed surface layer around the bacteria. DD3008 and B. thailandensis E264 did not react with the capsular antibodies. ATCC 23344 was virulent in hamsters and mice, but DD3008 was avirulent in both animal models. It is concluded that the capsular polysaccharide is a major virulence factor of B. mallei. The GenBank accession numbers are AF285636 (B. mallei) and AF285634 (B. thailandensis).

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The results of adult mosquito collections made in 1997 and 1998 at 14 US military installations located in 6 provinces in Korea Republic are presented. Adult mosquitoes were collected in New Jersey light traps from 15 May to 15 October each year. This surveillance was performed to determine the appropriate time for insecticidal application at these Army installations. 56 998 and 59 647 adults were collected in 1997 and 1998 respectively, comprising 46 763 (82.0%) females and 10 235 (18.0%) males in 1997, and 47 078 (78.9%) females and 12 569 (21.1%) males in 1998. Among 23 species in 6 genera, the most common species were Anopheles sinensis (45.6%), Culex tritaeniorhynchus (29.0%), Aedes vexans nipponii (12.1%) and Culex pipiens pallens (12.0%). Anopheles sinensis increased by 2.9% and C. tritaeniorhynchus decreased by 3.1% between the two years. According to the weekly population density, A. sinensis in the Munsan area was more abundant in August than in July, which was an unusual pattern.

The number of people who had consumed the Army packaged ration at each frequency, and the average acceptance rating and percentage consumed for items eaten once and more than once were determined. Food intake and acceptability were measured daily using MRE records cards, which consist of reprinted forms naming all items in the rations. Results for all food items and main dishes are tabulated. The mean acceptance ratings and the percentages of the items consumed were consistently higher for items eaten repeatedly relative to those eaten only once. For items eaten repeatedly, the differences between the first time the item was eaten and the subsequent occasions were minimal for both acceptance ratings and percentage consumed. These data demonstrate that when people have a choice of what to eat, some people choose to eat the same item repeatedly. They choose items that they like, and this preference does not subside over the course of repeated eating.

N2 - Twelve healthy male volunteers performed two resistance exercise sessions: a moderate resistance (MR) exercise session and a heavy resistance (HR) exercise session. Blood was collected before exercise and 5 min, 30 min, and 24 h after exercise. Urine was collected for 24 h before and 24 h after exercise. Plasma zinc (Zn) was markedly increased both 5 min and 30 min after MR and HR exercise and was returned to control values the next day. Total blood cell (TBC) Zn was decreased 5 min after MR and HR exercise but was not significantly different than control values at 30 min or 24 h. The changes in plasma and TBC Zn after HR exercise were significantly greater than changes after MR exercise. The results of this study are the first to report changes in Zn after resistance exercise. These data agree with previous studies reporting increases in plasma Zn and decreases in erythrocyte Zn after strenuous running, treadmill, or cycle ergometry exercise; however, the magnitude of the changes reported in this study are considerable greater that changes reported these previous studies. These data support suggestions that increases in plasma Zn levels are the result of leakage from the muscles resulting from muscle damage.

Language: English. Number of References: 36 ref. Registry Number: 9064-37-3. Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Clostridium perfringens iota-toxin is a binary toxin consisting of iota a (Ia), an ADP-ribosyltransferase that modifies actin, and iota b (Ib), which binds to a cell surface protein and translocates Ia into a target cell. Fusion proteins of recombinant Ib and truncated variants were tested for binding to Vero cells and docking with Ia via fluorescence-activated cytometry and cytotoxicity experiments. C-terminal residues (656 to 665) of Ib were critical for cell surface binding, and truncated Ib variants containing ≥200 amino acids of the C terminus were effective Ib competitors and prevented iota cytotoxicity. The N-terminal domain (residues 1 to 106) of Ib was important for Ia docking, yet this region was not an effective competitor of iota cytotoxicity. Further studies showed that Ib lacking just the N-terminal 27 residues did not facilitate Ia entry into a target cell and subsequent cytotoxicity. Five monoclonal antibodies against Ib were also tested with each truncated Ib variant for epitope and structural mapping by surface plasmon resonance and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Each antibody bound to a linear epitope within the N terminus (residues 28 to 66) or the C terminus (residues 632 to 655). Antibodies that target the C terminus neutralized in vitro cytotoxicity and delayed the lethal effects of iota-toxin in mice.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Immunity to Plasmodium falciparum develops slowly in areas of endemicity, and this is often ascribed to poorly immunogenic or highly variant parasite antigens. However, among populations newly exposed to malaria, adults acquire immunity more rapidly than children. We examined the relationship between pubertal development and resistance to P. falciparum. During two transmission seasons in western Kenya, we treated the same cohort of young males to eradicate P. falciparum and then obtained blood smears each week for 4 months. Subjects entered the study n April 1996. inWe determined pubertal development by Tanner staging and by levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and testosterone in plasma. In multivariate and age-stratified analyses, we examined the effect of pubertal development on resistance to malaria. In both seasons (n=248 and 144 volunteers, respectively), older males were less susceptible than younger males. Age-related decreases in the frequency and density of parasitemia were greatest during puberty (15- to 20-year-olds). DHEAS and testosterone were significant independent predictors of resistance to P. falciparum parasitemia, even after accounting for the effect of age. Fifteen- to 20-year-old males with high DHEAS levels had a 72% lower mean parasite density (P<0.01) than individuals with low DHEAS levels. Similarly, 21- to 35-year-old males with high DHEAS levels had a 92% lower mean parasite density (P<0.001) and 48% lower frequency of parasitaemia (P<0.05) than individuals with low DHEAS levels. These data suggest that the long period needed to attain full immunity could be explained as a consequence of host development rather than as the requirement to recognize variant or poorly immunogenic parasite antigens.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Plant Breeding N2 - The influence of dosing interval on the human antibody response to anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) was evaluated in two retrospective serological studies carried out in the serum data bank of the special immmunizations programme for at-risk laboratory workers at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in Maryland, USA [date not given]. In both studies, the interval between the first two doses was 2, 3, or 4 weeks. In the first study, banked sera were selected from 89 at-risk individuals at a mean time of 13 days after the second dose of vaccine. In the second study, banked sera were selected from 51 at-risk individuals at a mean time of 48 days following the first dose of AVA. In both studies, the geometric mean anti-protective antigen IgG antibody titre increased significantly as the interval between the two doses increased from 2 to 4 weeks (P=0.0005-0.029). In the first study, the seroconversion rate also increased as the interval between the first two doses increased (P=0.0034).

Copyright Statement: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. AB - Blast-related traumatic brain injury (bTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been of particular relevance to the military and civilian health care sectors since the onset of the Global War on Terror, and TBI has been called the 'signature injury' of this war. Currently there are many questions about the fundamental nature, diagnosis, and long-term consequences of bTBI and its relationship to PTSD. This workshop was organized to consider these questions and focus on how brain imaging techniques may be used to enhance current diagnosis, research, and treatment of bTBI. The general conclusion was that although the study of blast physics in non-biological systems is mature, few data are presently available on key topics such as blast exposure in combat scenarios, the pathological characteristics of human bTBI, and imaging signatures of bTBI. Addressing these gaps is critical to the success of bTBI research. Foremost among our recommendations is that human autopsy and pathoanatomical data from bTBI patients need to be obtained and disseminated to the military and civilian research communities, and advanced neuroimaging used in studies of acute, subacute, and chronic cases, to determine whether there is a distinct pathoanatomical signature that correlates with long-term functional impairment, including PTSD. These data are also critical for the development of animal models to illuminate fundamental mechanisms of bTBI and provide leads for new treatment approaches. Brain imaging will need to play an increasingly important role as gaps in the scientific knowledge of bTBI and PTSD are addressed through increased coordination, cooperation, and data sharing among the academic and military biomedical research communities.

AB - Galantamine, a centrally acting cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor and a nicotinic allosteric potentiating ligand used to treat Alzheimer's disease, is an effective and safe antidote against poisoning with nerve agents, including soman. Here, the effectiveness of galantamine was compared with that of the centrally active ChE inhibitors donepezil, rivastigmine, and (±)huperzine A as a pre- and/or post-treatment to counteract the acute toxicity of soman. In the first set of experiments, male prepubertal guinea pigs were treated intramuscularly with one of the test drugs and 30 min later challenged with 1.5 × LD₅₀ soman (42 μg/kg s.c.). All animals that were pretreated with galantamine (6–8 mg/kg), 3 mg/kg donepezil, 6 mg/kg rivastigmine, or 0.3 mg/kg (±)huperzine A survived the soman challenge, provided that they were also post-treated with atropine (10 mg/kg i.m.). However, only galantamine was well tolerated. In subsequent experiments, the effectiveness of specific treatment regimens using 8 mg/kg galantamine, 3 mg/kg donepezil, 6 mg/kg rivastigmine, or 0.3 mg/kg (±)huperzine A was compared in guinea pigs challenged with soman. In the absence of atropine, only galantamine worked as an effective and safe pretreatment in animals challenged with 1.0 × LD₅₀ soman. Galantamine was also the only drug to afford significant protection when given to guinea pigs after 1.0 × LD₅₀ soman. Finally, all test drugs except galantamine reduced the survival of the animals when administered 1 or 3 h after the challenge with 0.6 or 0.7 × LD₅₀ soman. Thus, galantamine emerges as a superior antidotal therapy against the toxicity of soman.

We start by defining and distinguishing extreme contexts from crisis and other contexts. A five component typology is developed comprised of magnitude of consequences, form of threat, probability of consequences, location in time and physical or psychological–social proximity. We discuss the unique influences these components have on leadership processes in extreme contexts examining the relevance of organization types such as critical action and high reliability organizations. Further, we present a set of factors that may attenuate or intensify the dimensions comprising an extreme context, thus influencing either a team or organization's ability for adaptive leadership response. Ultimately this framework seeks to develop a richer understanding of extreme contexts to advance the future development of contextualized theories of leadership for extreme contexts.

AB - To date, the dominant approach to leadership research assumes that all aspects of the leadership role within a team are embodied by a single individual. In the real world, however, this is rarely the case. Rather, multiple individuals within the team may serve as leaders in both formal and informal capacities, and the shifting of leadership responsibilities is often rooted in which individual's expertise is most relevant to the given problem. In the present effort, we add to the rapidly growing body of work that focuses on the distribution of the leadership role among multiple individuals. We have reviewed relevant extant literature and proposed an integrated framework for understanding the collective leadership process. Also, in developing this framework we have taken an information and expertise-based approach such that we propose that collective leadership, or the distribution of the leadership role, is a function of selectively utilizing the information or specialized expertise that individuals within the network possess. In reviewing the framework, 55 propositions with regard to the collective leadership process are outlined and suggestions for future research are provided.

AB - Background: Sleep deprivation is a serious problem facing individuals in many critical societal roles. One of the most ubiquitous tasks facing individuals is categorization. Sleep deprivation is known to affect rule-based categorization in the classic Wisconsin Card Sorting Task, but, to date, information-integration categorization has not been examined. Study Objectives: To investigate the effects of sleep deprivation on information-integration category learning. Design: Participants performed an information-integration categorization task twice, separated by a 24-hour period, with or without sleep between testing sessions. Participants: Twenty-one West Point cadets participated in the sleep-deprivation group and 28 West Point cadets participated in a control group. Measurements and Results: Sleep deprivation led to an overall performance deficit during the second testing session—that is, whereas participants allowed to sleep showed a significant performance increase during the second testing session, Sleepless participants showed a small (but nonsignificant) performance decline during the second testing session. Model-based analyses indicated that a major contributor to the sleep-deprivation effect was the poor second-session performance of a subgroup of sleep-deprived participants who shifted from optimal information-integration strategies at the end of the first session to less-optimal rule-based strategies at the start of the second session. Sleep-deprived participants who used information-integration strategies in both sessions showed no drop in performance in the second session, mirroring the behavior of control participants. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the neural systems underlying information-integration strategies are not strongly affected by sleep deprivation but, rather, that the use of an information-integration strategy in a task may require active inhibition of rule-based strategies, with this inhibitory process being vulnerable to the effects of sleep deprivation.

AB - Transparency has recently become an extremely popular buzzword – each time we experience a loss of confidence in our organizations or leaders, media tout the importance of transparency, and the lack of it by the culpable party. We suggest that this idea of transparency, when systematically used by leaders to enhance relationships with their followers and other stakeholders, will lead to positive organizational outcomes. This paper discusses the importance of transparency, the potential positive organizational outcomes garnered by baring particular aspects of one’s self, how one can increase the perception of his or her transparency, and the implications this may have upon future approaches to management and leadership development.

AB - We present a method based on the two-process model of sleep regulation for developing individualized biomathematical models that predict performance impairment for individuals subjected to total sleep loss. This new method advances our previous work in two important ways. First, it enables model customization to start as soon as the first performance measurement from an individual becomes available. This was achieved by optimally combining the performance information obtained from the individual's performance measurements with a priori performance information using a Bayesian framework, while retaining the strategy of transforming the nonlinear optimization problem of finding the optimal estimates of the two-process model parameters into a series of linear optimization problems. Second, by taking advantage of the linear representation of the two-process model, this new method enables the analytical computation of statistically based measures of reliability for the model predictions in the form of prediction intervals. Two distinct data sets were used to evaluate the proposed method. Results using simulated data with superimposed white Gaussian noise showed that the new method yielded 50% to 90% improvement in parameter- estimate accuracy over the previous method. Moreover, the accuracy of the analytically computed prediction intervals was validated through Monte Carlo simulations. Results for subjects representing three sleep-loss phenotypes who participated in a laboratory study (82 h of total sleep loss) indicated that the proposed method yielded individualized predictions that were up to 43% more accurate than group-average prediction models and, on average, 10% more accurate than individualized predictions based on our previous method (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) KW - total sleep deprivation KW - cognitive performance impairment KW - individualized modeling KW - parameter estimation KW - performance prediction KW - 2009 KW - Cognitive Impairment KW - Mathematical Modeling KW - Prediction KW - Sleep Deprivation KW - Statistical Estimation KW - 2009 U1 - Sponsor: US Army Medical Research and Material Command, Military Operational Medicine Research Area Directorate, US.

AB - PURPOSE. This paper examines the experience of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a female veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, including the barriers to treatment she encountered in an outpatient psychiatry clinic. DESIGN AND METHODS. Case report data were obtained through review of records and interviews with a veteran combat nurse diagnosed with chronic PTSD. CONCLUSIONS. Sex differences in PTSD are controversial, but PTSD in female military veterans is a significant problem. Gender may complicate diagnosis and treatment. This case report discusses these issues and invites further research. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Advanced practice psychiatric nurses increasingly will see female veterans with PTSD in their practices.

AB - In this study we set out to conduct a comprehensive quantitative research analysis of literature reporting results on the causal impact of leadership by focusing on examining what we refer to as ‘leadership interventions.’ We defined leadership interventions as those studies where the researcher overtly manipulated leadership as the independent variable through training, assignment, scenario or other means. Our focus included both examining experimental and quasi-experimental as well as lab and field studies conducted in public and private organizations. Our goal was to address a simple question: do leadership interventions have the intended impact and if so to what degree? We conducted a comprehensive review of the published and unpublished literature and uncovered 200 lab and field studies that met our criterion as leadership intervention studies. We report here the findings of a series of meta-analyzed effects comparing the relative impact of leadership interventions across intervention types, leadership theories, and several common dependent variables. Overall, leadership interventions produced a 66% probability of achieving a positive outcome versus a 50–50 random effect for treatment participants, but this effect varied significantly when assessing moderators such as type of leadership theory.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Mosquitoes collected in the Amazon Basin, near Iquitos, Peru, were evaluated for their susceptibility to epizootic (IAB and IC) and enzootic (ID and IE) strains of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus. After feeding on hamsters with a viraemia of ~108 plaque-forming units of virus per millilitre, Culex (Melanoconion) gnomatus, C. (Melanoconion) vomerifer and Aedes fulvus were highly susceptible to infection with all 4 subtypes of VEE virus (infection rates ≥87%). Likewise, Psorophora albigenu and a combination of Mansonia indubitans and Mansonia titillans were moderately susceptible to all 4 strains of VEE virus (infection rates ≥50%). Although Psorophora cingulata and Coquillettidia venezuelensis were susceptible to infection with each of the VEE strains, these 2 species were not efficient transmitters of any of the VEE strains, even after intrathoracic inoculation, indicating the presence of a salivary gland barrier in these species. In contrast to the other species tested, both Culex (Melanoconion) pedroi and Culex (Culex) coronator were nearly refractory to each of the strains of VEE virus tested. Although many of the mosquito species found in this region were competent laboratory vectors of VEE virus, additional studies on biting behaviour, mosquito population densities, and vertebrate reservoir hosts of VEE virus are needed to incriminate the principal vector species.

Adults primarily rested inside the premises (75.1%) at a distance >6 m from the street (86.4%). Both sexes rested mainly in bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms. The small ULV aerosol droplets (2-4 µm) penetrated all indoor resting sites of Ae. aegypti, but in low amounts. Because of the low amount of insecticides reaching the primary resting sites within the premises, limited control of the Ae. aegypti was obtained. This limited the potential effectiveness of ground vehicle ULV applied insecticide as a dengue epidemic control method.

After feeding on hamsters that had been inoculated with RVF virus, P. papatasi, P. sergenti, and S. schwetzi became infected and developed disseminated infections. All P. papatasi and P. duboscqi inoculated with RVF virus developed high-titer infections. In contrast, only 41% of the inoculated S. schwetzi contained detectable virus, and infected individuals contained significantly less virus than the two Phlebotomus species. Although 50% of the inoculated P. duboscqi transmitted RVF virus to hamsters, only 14% of P. papatasi and none of the S. schwetzi transmitted this virus. Additional studies are needed to determine the role of sand flies as vectors of RVF virus.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) is a sometimes fatal, emerging tick-borne disease caused by the bacterium Ehrlichia chaffeensis. It is frequently misdiagnosed because its symptoms mimic those of the flu. Current evidence indicates that Amblyomma americanum (L.), the lone star tick, is the major vector of HME. To determine if E. chaffeensis is present in ticks at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, questing A. americanum ticks were collected from 33 sites. Nucleic acid was extracted from 34 adult and 81 nymphal pools. Sequences diagnostic for E. chaffeensis from three different loci (16S rRNA, 120-kDa protein, and a variable-length polymerase chain reaction [PCR] target, or VLPT) were targeted for amplification by the PCR. Fifty-two percent of the collection sites yielded pools infected with E. chaffeensis, confirming the presence and widespread distribution of E. chaffeensis at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Analysis with the both the 120-kDa protein primers and the VLPT primers showed that genetic variance exists. A novel combination of variance for the two loci was detected in two tick pools. The pathogenic implications of genetic variation in E. chaffeensis are as yet unknown.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Studies on seasonal prevalence and population density of Anopheles sinensis were carried out in the Munsan area at the northwestern part of Kyonggi province in 1994-1997. A total of 18 species in 5 genera were collected using New Jersey light traps. In addition, weekly human biting collections were performed at Taesongdong, close to the DMZ area from 15 May to 10 September, 1997. A total of 17 species in 5 genera were collected in the biting collections. Anopheles sinensis showed two peaks of biting activity at 22:00-24:00 and at 02:00-04:00 in July. In August the times shifted to a different biphasic pattern with peaks at 20:00-22:00 and at 02:00-06:00. In September there was only one peak in biting activity at 19:00-21:00.

Subject Subsets: Leisure, Recreation, Tourism N2 - The West Point Fair Play Project's purpose is to promote the principles of fair play in a collegiate intramural programme in which over 3000 students participate annually. This article aims to promote student understanding and practice of fair play principles through a model incorporating the study of behaviours, development of strategies to promote positive behaviour and assessment of fair play. The recommendations provided are the result of an ongoing four-year project. It is concluded that a moral training approach significantly curbs undesirable behaviours during intramural athletic competitions.

In the first demonstration, the same food was served and rated in both a training restaurant (The Grill Room) and a student dining centre at Bournemouth University, UK while in the second demonstration, data on the same foods were collected in 3 different types of eating environments at East Carolina University, USA: food science laboratory classes, a student training restaurant and campus student dining centres. In the first study, the overall hedonic score was higher for The Grill Room than for the student cafeteria (7.06 vs. 6.16). In the 2nd study the ranked ordering of settings for the ratings of the main dish served was: training restaurant (overall mean rating: 6.67) > laboratory classes (5.79) > campus dining halls (5.28). Tests on attributes of the main chicken dish showed differences between texture acceptance ratings (means: 5.13-6.28), which were generally lower than flavour acceptance (means: 5.18-6.78), colour (means 5.39-6.33) and overall assessment (means: 5.28-6.67) ratings.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 24 ref. Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - Sixty male BALB/c mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with either a sublethal or a lethal dose of Burkholderia mallei China 7 strain, then killed at multiple time points postinoculation. Histopathologic changes were qualitatively similar in both groups and consisted of pyogranulomatous inflammation. In sublethal study mice, changes were first seen at 6 hours in mediastinal lymph nodes, then in spleen, liver, peripheral lymph nodes, and bone marrow at day 3. These changes generally reached maximal incidence and severity by day 4 but decreased by comparison in all tissues except the liver. Changes were first seen in lethal study mice also at 6 hours in mediastinal lymph nodes and in spleens. At day 1, changes were present in liver, peripheral lymph nodes, and bone marrow. The incidence and severity of these changes were maximal at day 2. In contrast to sublethal study mice, the incidence and severity of the changes did not decrease through the remainder of the study. The most significant difference between the two groups was the rapid involvement of the spleen in the lethal study mice. Changes indicative of impaired vascular perfusion were more frequently seen in the sublethal study mice. Our findings indicate that mice are susceptible to B. mallei infection and may serve as an appropriate model for glanders infection in a resistant host such as human beings. Additionally, by immunoelectron microscopy, we showed the presence of type I O-antigenic polysaccharide (capsular) antigen surrounding B. mallei.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Across-meal variety was operationally defined as the varying of a midday meal, whereas monotony was defined as serving the same midday meal for 5 days. Acceptance and intake of the meal declined in the monotony week and did not decline in the variety week. Acceptance levels decreased but remained high, demonstrating that monotony can occur with acceptable foods. Intake increased on the final day of testing under the variety condition. The potato product was resistant to monotony for both acceptance and intake, as has been shown for other staple foods. Green beans were sensitive to monotony. Correlations between acceptance and intake were highly significant; they were moderate in the variety condition (averaging r=0.5) and lower in the monotony condition, suggesting how variety impacts normal varied eating.

Number of References: 24 ref. Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science N2 - West Nile fever caused fatal disease in humans, horses, and birds in the northeastern USA during 1999. Birds from two wildlife facilities in New York City, New York, that died or were killed and suspected of West Nile virus infection were studied. Using standard histological and ultrastructural methods, virus isolation, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, West Nile virus was identified as the cause of clinical disease, severe pathological changes, and death in 27 birds representing eight orders and 14 species. Virus was detected in 23/26 brains (88%), 24/25 hearts (96%), 15/18 spleens (83%), 14/20 livers (70%), 20/20 kidneys (100%), 10/13 adrenals (77%), 13/14 intestines (93%), 10/12 pancreata (83%), 5/12 lungs (42%), and 4/8 ovaries (50%) by one or more methods. Cellular targets included neurons and glial cells in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia; myocardial fibres; macrophages and blood monocytes; renal tubular epithelium; adrenal cortical cells; pancreatic acinar cells and islet cells; intestinal crypt epithelium; oocytes; and fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Purkinje cells were especially targeted, except in crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos, C. ossifragus) and magpies (Pica pica). Gross haemorrhage of the brain, splenomegaly, meningoencephalitis, and myocarditis were the most prominent lesions. Immunohistochemistry was an efficient and reliable method for identifying infected cases, but the polyclonal antibody cross-reacted with St. Louis encephalitis virus and other flaviviruses. In contrast, the in situ hybridization probe pWNV-E (WN-USAMRIID99) reacted only with West Nile virus. These methods should aid diagnosticians faced with the emergence of West Nile virus in the USA.

Several protective mAbs directed toward 5 unique epitopes on Ebola glycoprotein were identified. One of the epitopes was conserved among all Ebola viruses that are known to be pathogenic for humans. Some protective mAbs were also effective therapeutically when administered to mice 2 days after exposure to lethal Ebola virus. The identification of protective mAbs has important implications for developing vaccines and therapies for Ebola virus.

Fourteen students were interviewed to provide perceptions beyond the confines of a specific incident. The data were classified into three themes: (a) teacher and teacher behaviours; (b) curriculum, program features, and subject matter; and (c) social interaction and behaviours of students. Within the first theme, encouragement, additional instruction, and demonstrations were the most frequently perceived positive influences. Inappropriate grading, public embarrassment, and adversarial relationships between teachers and students were the most frequently perceived negative influences. The positive influences within the curriculum theme were overcoming fear, relevance, and challenge. The negative influences were unfair grading standards, irrelevant content, and injury. Support and encouragement, acceptance, and effective leadership were the top ranked positive perceptions within the third theme. Poor leadership and lack of sportsmanship were associated with negative perceptions.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Nutritional intake by military personnel is typically inadequate during field exercises, potentially compromising health and performance. Drinking a supplemental carbohydrate (CHO) beverage will increase total energy intake and maintain nutritional status during military training in the desert. A total of 63 volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups to receive either a CHO or placebo beverage with military rations during an 11-day desert field exercise. Fluid intake was ad libitum and adequate rations were provided. Blood samples were collected twice to assess nutritional status, and nutrient intake was determined with consumption data. Mood state was examined by questionnaire. Energy intake was significantly higher in the CHO group (3050 vs. 2631 kcal day-1), with additional CHO from the beverage providing energy with some compensation by reduced fat and protein intake. Intakes of energy, folacin, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc in both groups were inadequate, with intakes lower (p<0.05) for calcium, magnesium, and zinc in the CHO beverage group. Blood parameters of nutritional status remained within normal ranges with no differences between groups, but significant decreases were seen in pre-albumin. No changes in mood were seen during the training, nor after exposure to desert conditions. The operational ration supplemented with a CHO beverage significantly increases CHO and energy intakes compared with standard rations and maintains nutritional status for short exercises. Fortification with micronutrients most at risk for deficient intake from foods may be needed for longer deployments.

USAMMCE uses an electronic monitoring device to monitor and archive the time temperature history of shipments of various vaccines, immunoglobulins, and other drugs requiring refrigeration. Using these monitors, USAMMCE can track its carriers' performance, comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations, reduce product loss, and validate quality. USAMMCE trains people to pack refrigerated items by following standardized guidelines and to activate and place the monitoring device inside the packing container. When deactivated during unpacking, the device flashes green for a successful shipment (all temperature readings within the ideal range) or red for a potentially problematic shipment.

When he was in high school, he underwent bilateral open Bankart repairs for traumatic glenohumeral dislocations. He developed symptomatic left shoulder subluxations during summer military training and continued to have bilateral shoulder instability during the academic year. Results of his physical examination, radiographs, and a magnetic resonance imaging scan were discussed. After diagnosing, a revision reconstruction was suggested to the patient. The pectoralis major transfer was taken down during the exploration of the brachial plexus, and this seen to be the site of compression.

L1 - GENERALITES SUR LES THEORIES DE L ' ENTRAINEMENT.; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20030201; SIRC Article No.: S-855199 N2 - Purpose: To characterize the impact of prolonged work, underfeeding, and sleep deprivation (i.e., sustained operations; SUSOPS) on physical and occupational related performance during military operational stress. Methods: Ten male soldiers were tested on days 1 (D1), 3 (D3), and 4 (D4) of a control and an experimental week that included prolonged physical work (total daily energy expenditure approximately 4500 kcal.d-1), underfeeding (approximately 1600 kcal.d-1), and sleep deprivation (approximately 2 h.d-1). Body composition was measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Ballistic power was assessed by 30 repetitive squat jumps and bench-press throws. Military-relevant occupational performance was evaluated with a 10-min box lift, obstacle course, grenade throw, rifle marksmanship, and a 25-min wall-build task. Results: Fat-free mass (- 2.3 %) and fat mass (- 7.3 %) declined (P is less than or equal to 0.05) during SUSOPS. Squat-jump mean power (- 9 %) and total work (- 15 %) declined (P is less than or equal to 0.05) during SUSOPS. Bench-press power output, grenade throw, and marksmanship for pop-up targets were not affected. Obstacle course and box-lift performances were lower (P is less than or equal to 0.05) on D3 but showed some recovery on D4. Wall building was approximately 25 % lower (P is less than or equal to 0.05) during SUSOPS. Conclusion: Decrements in performance during SUSOPS are primarily restricted to tasks that recruit muscles that are over-utilized without adequate recovery. General military skill tasks and occupational physical performance tasks are fairly well maintained.

K5.4 - METABOLISME, METABOLISME ENERGETIQUE.; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20020501; SIRC Article No.: S-818698 N2 - Leptin is an important metabolic hormone providing the brain with information concerning energy balance. Most studies have reported that circulating leptin concentrations are unaltered by acute, moderate exercise. We hypothesized that these studies have been limited by short sampling schemes (< 4 h) postexercise and may have missed a time-delayed reduction in circulating leptin concentrations. Ten men (age = 21 +/- 1 yr, height = 177 +/- 2 cm, body mass = 79 +/- 3 kg, body fat = 11 +/- 1 %BF, VO2max = 51 +/- 1 mLDTkg-1DTmin-1) completed an acute heavy-resistance exercise protocol (AHREP) (50 total sets comprised of the squat, bench press, leg press, and lat pull-down) from 1500 to 1700 h. Blood was sampled hourly postexercise until 0600 h the next morning and also during a time-matched control period. Leptin concentrations were measured by an immunoradiometric assay. Resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured via indirect calorimetry using a ventilated hood beginning approximately 0600 h after both overnight conditions. The estimated caloric expenditure from the AHREP was 856 +/- 114 kcal. No significant differences (P > 0.05) between the control and exercise conditions were observed for serum leptin concentrations until 9 h postexercise. Significant interaction effects (P < 0.05) indicated lower serum leptin concentrations postexercise at hours 9 (2.9 vs 2.2 ngDTmL-1), 10 (2.7 vs 2.0 ngDTmL-1), 12 (2.5 vs 1.8 ngDTmL-1), and 13 (2.6 vs 1.8 ngDTmL-1). This delayed reduction was accompanied by a 12 % elevation (P < 0.05) in morning-after REE (0.25 +/- 0.02 vs 0.28 +/- 0.02 LDTmin-1). Leptin concentrations experience a delayed (approximately 9 h) reduction in the systemic circulation after acute resistance exercise. This decline is likely associated with the disruption in metabolic homeostasis created by the high-intensity, long-duration, energy expenditure and subsequent excess post oxygen consumption from the AHREP and is not due to losses in fat mass.

The mean viral titer of mouse blood at the time of tick feeding was 10(3.2) plaque-forming units (PFU) per ml. Samples of ticks were assayed on 12 occasions between days 0 and 31 after the viremic blood meal. Mean CCHF viral titers were 10(2.1) PFU per tick immediately after the viremic meal but declined to 10(1.2) PFU per tick after 2 d, and no virus was detected beyond 8 d. The percentage of ticks with detectable virus was 92% (22/24) immediately after the viremic meal, but then declined to 20% (2/10) after 4 d and to 0% (0/44) after 11 or more days. Ticks were allowed to feed on sets of three naive suckling mice on days 0, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 21, and 28 after the viremic blood meal, but CCHF viral transmission did not occur. Similarly, no transovarial transmission of virus from CCHF virus-exposed O. sonrai to their progeny was observed. These results strongly indicate that O. sonrai is not a vector of CCHF virus KW - senegal KW - ornithodoros KW - transmission des maladies KW - bunyaviridae KW - maladie de l'homme KW - vecteur de maladie KW - entomologie KW - sciences medicales KW - souris KW - transmision de enfermedades KW - enfermedades humanas KW - vectores KW - entomologia KW - ciencias medicas KW - raton UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=8459431&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Castagna, JoAnne T1 - A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND LIVES.

The new types of eyewear are commercial, off-the-shelf items that have passed the U.S. Army's testing criteria and are currently being issued to deploying Soldiers through the Army's rapid-fielding initiative. The new eyewear is categorized as either spectacles or goggles, according to the test criteria each must pass to be authorized for use by Soldiers. Although these new commercial items provide excellent ballistic protection, none of them protect the eyes from lasers. All of the goggles are one size fits all, and all the kits include two ballistic protective lenses, one clear and one tinted. Several reports from these Soldiers indicate that the Army's new protective eyewear has protected their eyes from shrapnel numerous times.

The test is computationally simple, and does not require the model to be linear, the disturbance terms to be normally distributed, or panel data to be available. For purposes of illustration, the test is applied to a model of per capita county police expenditures. The results obtained are compatible with results obtained via the Moran I test.

N2 - A retrospective study of patients hospitalized with community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections during 1992-96, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, was conducted to determine if community-acquired MRSA infections occurred in patients without known risk. Patients hospitalized within the previous 6 months or transferred from other hospitals or nursing homes were excluded. Epidemiological and clinical data were obtained from an inpatient chart review. 10 (71%) of 14 patients with community-acquired MRSA infection had no discernible characteristics of MRSA infections. 13 (93%) patients had skin or soft-tissue infections and one patient had MRSA pneumonia. Isolates from patients with MRSA infection were more likely to be susceptible to ciprofloxacin (P=0.05), clindamycin (P=0.03), and erythromycin (P=0.01) than were those from MRSA-colonized patients. In this population, the majority of community-acquired MRSA infections occurred in previously healthy individuals without characteristics suggestive of MRSA transmission.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This study examined the utility of bio impedance spectroscopy (BIS) for assessing total body water (TBW) changes associated with moderate (6-7% TBW), hypertonic (HH), and isotonic (IH) hypohydration. The TBW of 9 men was measured using BIS (TBWBIS) when euhydrated (EU) and during HH and IH. These measurements were compared with TBW measurements obtained using isotope dilution (deuterium oxide; TBWD20) during EU, and the estimated TBWD20 during hypohydration calculated from body weight change. Body weight loss was similar (P>0.05) for HH (3.4±0.7 kg) and IH (2.9±0.7 kg). Plasma osmolality was higher (P<0.05) on HH (292±4 mosmol/kg) than EU (280±4 mosmol/kg) and IH (284±3 mosmol/kg), and higher (P<0.05) during IH and EU. The measurements reflected a similar decrease (P<0.05) in TBW during HH (TBWD20: 45.4±7.3 litre, TBWBIS: 42.2±5.1 litre) and IH (TBWD20: 45.8±7.5 litre, TBWBIS: 42.0±4.9 litre), compared with EU (TBWD20:48.8±7.5 litre, TBWBIS: 44.3±5.0 litre), but TBWD20 was consistently higher (3.9±4.0 litre, P<0.05) than TBWBIS during all tests. TBWD20 and TBWBIS were correlated (P<0.05) during EU (r=0.87), HH (r=0.84), and IH (r=0.84). The change in TBW from EU during HH was greater (P<0.05) for TBWD20 (3.5±0.8 litre) than TBWBIS (2.1±0.9 litre), but during IH the change in TBW reflected by TBWD20 (3.0±0.6 litre) and TBWBIS (2.3±0.8 litre) did not differ. The change in TBWD20 and TBWBIS between EU and hypohydration was correlated for HH (r=0.77, P<0.05), but not IH. These findings indicate that BIS is sufficiently sensitive to detect moderate hypohydration; however, the resolution of this technique diminished with isotonic fluid loss.

Subject Subsets: Rural Development; Tropical Diseases; Protozoology N2 - The design of an effective vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly malaria parasite of humans, requires a careful definition of the epitopes and the immune responses involved in protection. Liver-stage antigen 1 (LSA-1) is specifically expressed during the hepatic stage of P. falciparum and elicits cellular and humoral immune responses in naturally exposed individuals. A study was conducted in the adjoining villages of Wangarot, Riwa Ojelo, and Waringa, Rarieda Division, Nyanza Province, Kenya. 178 males (12-35 years old) entered the study at the beginning of the low-transmission season in August 1996, and were treated with 3 days of quinine sulfate (10 mg/kg twice daily) and 7 days of doxycycline (100 mg twice daily), to eradicate malaria infections. In April 1997, one hundred forty-four of the 178 volunteers were reenrolled at the start of the high-transmission season, and were again treated with quinine and doxycycline. Cellular immune responses against LSA-1 recombinant proteins were measured, and the process by which these responses predicted subsequent parasitaemia was analysed. We report here that interleukin-10 (IL-10) production in response to LSA-1 predicts resistance to P. falciparum after eradication therapy. Resistance was not related to gamma interferon or tumour necrosis factor alpha production. This is the first report that human IL-10 responses are associated with resistance after eradication therapy, and our findings support the inclusion of LSA-1 in a vaccine against malaria.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 14 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Agricultural Biotechnology N2 - In an attempt to improve the current live-attenuated vaccine (TC-83) for Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE), specific mutations associated with attenuation of VEE virus in rodent models were identified. These mutations were inserted into full-length cDNA clones of the Trinidad donkey strain of VEE virus by site-directed mutagenesis, and isogenic virus strains with these mutations were recovered after transfection of baby hamster kidney cells with infectious RNA. The authors evaluated 10 of these strains for their ability to replicate in and be transmitted by Aedes taeniorhynchus, a natural vector of epizootic VEE virus. Two vaccine candidates, one containing a deletion of the PE2 furin cleavage site, the other a combination of 3 separate point mutations in the E2 glycoprotein, replicated in mosquitoes and were transmitted to hamsters significantly less efficiently than was either parental (wild type) VEE virus or TC-83 virus. Although the attenuated strains were transmitted to hamsters by mosquitoes, after intrathoracic inoculation, there was no evidence of reversion to a virulent phenotype. The mutations that resulted in less efficient replication in, or transmission by, mosquitoes should enhance vaccine safety and reduce the possibility of environmental spread to unintentional hosts.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A mark-recapture study of raccoons (Procyon lotor) and opossums (Didelphis virginiana) was conducted from February 1991 to April 1994 in Tennessee, USA, to determine host interactions with adult Dermacentor variabilis. The authors captured 1293 raccoons and Virginia opossums during the 3-year study (140 individual raccoons and 160 individual Virginia opossums) with 1895 adult D. variabilis collected. Raccoons had a significantly higher mean intensity and higher prevalence of adult ticks than Virginia opossums (Mann-Whitney Z=6.15, Χ²=51.9. P<0.001). Mean intensity follows Margolis et al. (1982) [Journal of Parasitology, 66: 131-133] as being the mean number of parasite species per infected host. Prevalence follows Margolis et al. (1982) as being the number of individuals of the host species infected with a parasite species divided by the number of hosts examined. The time required for a higher prevalence and mean intensity of ticks to occur on raccoons than Virginia opossums was <7 days. No significant differences occurred between the mean intensity or prevalence of D. variabilis between sexes or among age classes of raccoons. Significant differences in prevalence and mean intensity of ticks occurred between sexes and among age classes of Virginia opossums. Infestation increased by 0.64 ticks/day on Virginia opossums and 1.77/day on raccoons during the first 7 day. The base host finding rate (ticks/host/day) of adult D. variabilis on Virginia opossums was 0.064 and 0.053 on raccoons. Tick interactions with hosts are quantified and may reflect behavioural differences between sexes and among age groups intraspecifically, and host preferences of adult D. variabilis interspecifically.

A total of 17 947 sandflies representing 10 species (including Phlebotomus guggisbergi, Sergentomyia africana, S. bedfordi, S. antennata, S. ingrami, S. squamipleuris and single specimens of S. affinis, S. clydei, S. schwetzi and S. uniformis) were collected using light and sticky traps from a homestead, animal pens, in and around a cave, gorge floor, and rock crevices and animal burrows along an escarpment. P. guggisbergi, a vector of L. tropica in Kenya, was the most prevalent species through the entire period, representing about 80% of the total catch. There was marked seasonal fluctuation in the populations of the 3 most common species (P. guggisbergi, S. bedfordi, S. antennata), with highest population levels reached in December and lowest levels reached in July and August. Leishmania-like infections were encountered in 489 P. guggisbergi. No flagellate infections were observed in any other species of sandfly. Although infected P. guggisbergi were collected during each month of the year, the percent parous infected flies was highest (27.5%) during the November to January time period. These data showed that the greatest risk of transmission to humans at this focus occurs during December, when the vector is prevalent and infections are common.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Phylogenetic analysis of 20 strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus subtype IE isolated from 1961 to 1996 in Mexico and throughout Central America showed that VEE virus subtype IE was monophyletic with respect to other VEE virus subtypes. Nonetheless, there were at least 3 distinct geographically separated VEE virus IE genotypes: northwestern Panama, Pacific coast (Mexico/Guatemala), and Gulf/Caribbean coast (Mexico/Belize). Strains from the Caribbean coast of Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua may cluster with the Gulf/Caribbean genotype, but additional isolates from the region between Guatemala and Panama will be required to firmly establish their phylogenetic position. Viruses associated with 2 separate equine epizootics in Mexico in the 1990s were phylogenetically related to nonepizootic viruses from neighbouring Guatemala and may represent the emergence or re-emergence of equine-virulent VEE virus subtype IE in Middle America.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The authors report an analysis of 7 microsatellite loci in 8 populations of A. maculatus mosquitoes dispersed over a distance of ~1100 km in Thailand. A wide spectrum of genetic variability, with mean heterozygosities ranging from 0.738 to 0.847 were found. Based on microsatellite analysis, geographic populations of A. maculatus can be grouped into 2 clusters; one includes upper and lower northern populations that extend from approximately 11° to 16° north latitude, and the other (southern populations) extends south from about 7° to 6° north latitude. Wright's FST and Slatkins's RST for all 7 microsatellite loci indicated low estimates of differentiation among all populations (mean values of FST and RST = 0.0406 and 0.051, respectively, corresponding to the Nm values of 5.91 and 4.65, respectively), and suggested that gene flow occurs among populations. However, there is some restriction of gene flow between the northern and southern populations. Geographic barriers could be limiting factors for greater gene flow between populations.

Subject Subsets: Sugar Industry N2 - Previously, it was demonstrated that the combination of sucrose laurate (SL) ethylenediaminetetraacetate (E) and butylated hydroxyl anisole (B) (SLEB) was an effective antimicrobial agent against both gram-negative (aerobes) and gram-positive (facultative anaerobes) foodborne bacteria. This investigation examines the sensitivity of Clostridium perfringens to SLEB relative to: (1) the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of SLEB required to inhibit the growth of C. perfringens and (2) the antibacterial effectiveness of different combination ratios of SLEB in fluid thioglycollate medium (FTM). Results indicated that the MIC of SLEB (1:1:1, v/v/v) against C. perfringens on tryptose sulfite cycloserine (TSC) agar was >150 ppm at 37°C. However, in FTM, a SLEB (1:1:1, v/v/v) concentration of >100 ppm inhibited C. perfringens during an incubation (anaerobic) period of 196 h at 37°C. The sensitivity of C. perfringens to different combination ratios was also investigated in FTM. The results showed that, when the concentrations of SL and E were held at 75 ppm in the SLEB combination, and the concentration of B increased from 0 to 75 ppm, C. perfringens growth increased initially during the first 24 h of incubation (37°C) but remained constant during the next 48 h. Similarly, when concentrations of SL and E were held constant at 150 ppm in the SLEB combination and the B ratio increased from 50 to 150 ppm in FTM, C. perfringens viability decreased in all of the treated samples during 72-h incubation at 37°C. The results indicated that SLEB was an effective inhibitor of C. perfringens growth activities, and the ratios of the components of SLEB can be adjusted to meet specific preservation needs.

Depletion of iron stores (iron deficiency [ID]) may lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which affects mood, cognitive function, and physical performance. Previous studies indicated that iron status may decline during military training. This study assessed the iron status and prevalence of ID and IDA in military personnel deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan (1492 m). Within the pool of 294 participants (149 male and 145 female), 2 males (1%) and 8 females (6%) presented with ID. Although IDA was not observed in males, 3 females (2%) met the criteria for IDA. Female sex (p = 0.05) and self-reported history of anemia (p < 0.05) were associated with diminished iron status. Amenorrhea was associated with higher ferritin (p < 0.05) and hemoglobin (p < 0.05) levels. Although ID and IDA did not affect a large portion of the deployed population assessed in this study, findings suggest that risk factors including female sex, history of anemia, and regular menstruation should be considered in the assessment of iron status in military personnel.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2011/12// VL - 176 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1400 EP - 1403 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - We hypothesize that an anecdotally observed increase in tourniquet breakage and decrease in efficacy may be secondary to environmental exposure during military deployment. This was a study comparing efficacy and breakage of 166 Afghanistan-exposed tourniquets to 166 unexposed tourniquets. Afghanistan exposure was defined as tourniquet carriage by field staff in the operational environment for approximately 6 months. In a controlled environment in the United States, a previously exposed tourniquet was tested on one thigh of each subject, while an unexposed tourniquet was tested on the opposite thigh. We recorded tourniquet efficacy (absence of distal pedal pulse for at least 30 seconds), breakage, and the number of turns required to stop the distal pedal pulse. A Wilcoxon sign-rank test was used to test differences between exposed and unexposed tourniquets. Tourniquets exposed to the environment broke more often (14/166 versus 0/166) and had decreased efficacy (63% versus 91%; p < 0.001). Three turns were required for most tourniquets to be efficacious. Environmental exposure of military tourniquets is associated with decreased efficacy and increased breakage. In most cases, tourniquets require three turns to stop the distal lower extremity pulse.

Fitness data was obtained from operations office. Results: Cumulative time-loss injury incidence was 31% for men and 54% for women. For men, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, smoking before entering the Army, lower sit-up performance, and slower 2-mile run times. For women, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, and slower 2-mile run times. Conclusion: Smoking cessation and fitness training before entry are potential strategies to reduce injuries among soldiers in the Ordnance School.

These articles suggest that the military is superficially investigating evidence that establishes a link between deployment and development of chronic lung disease. Anecdotal cases of military personnel with lung disease are detailed to suggest a systemic problem with undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary disease in deployed service members, Despite these contentions, the U.S. Army Medical Department and other agencies have been actively pursuing numerous scientific investigations into deployment-related lung disease to define the severity and prevalence of the issue. This article will review relevant research efforts by the U.S. military in the existing medical literature and address the current efforts planned by the services to systematically investigate the possibility of deployment-related pulmonary disease.

Methods: Discarded tourniquet devices were analyzed after use in emergency care of war casualties to determine wear and tear patterns, effectiveness rates, and associations among device designs. Results: The 159 devices recovered comprised seven designs. Emergency & Military Tourniquet (92%) and Combat Application Tourniquet (79%) effectiveness rates were significantly different from each other and better than other tourniquets (p < 0.002) as the most effective ambulance and field tourniquets, respectively. Designs had specific pitfalls (e.g., sand-clogged ratchets) and strengths (the pneumatic design was least painful). Every device had wear, abrasions, or deformity about the band edges or bladder. User understanding of how devices work best helped attain better results. Some desirable traits (e.g., one-handed application, use for entrapped limbs) were rarely needed. Tourniquets fit casualty limbs well. Conclusions: Correct user actions (e.g., following the instructions to remove slack before twisting) led to device effectiveness, but misuse did not. Users often assumed that optimal use required more force, but this was associated with misuse. Training should include tourniquet pearls and pitfalls.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2011/10// VL - 176 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1133 EP - 1137 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - There is great focus within the military medical community regarding the ever growing cost of medical care overall and dependent care specifically. A great deal of discussion relates to the delivery of care through a growing military-civilian partnership, where an increased amount of health care will be referred to an ever growing network of civilian providers. The U.S. military establishment now stands at an important crossroad leading into the future of dependent care. However, the special concerns, which arise from the responsibility of caring for military dependents, are not a solely recent phenomenon. Ever since the establishment of a permanent standing U.S. Army in the late 1700s, there have been families in need of medical treatment. Although changes occurred continuously, the development and evolution of policies regulating the delivery of medical care to dependants can be divided into three periods. The first is the longest and ranges from the establishment of the Army until the year 1900. The second period spans from 1900 to the post-Korean War year of 1956. The third and final period is from 1956 to 1975. Special changes and advances in each of these periods have served to shape the face of dependent care in today's Army Medical Department.

Few studies have described the distribution and trends of MVCs among Army personnel, which may have been impacted by current military missions. This descriptive study of risk factors and select outcomes is from safety report data maintained by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on 11,469 active duty Army personnel involved in MVCs, 1999-2006. The majority (66%) of Soldiers in MVCs were in military vehicles within the continental United States (68%). The average age of individuals involved in MVCs was 27.7 years old. Males had a consistently higher MVC rate than females. The average cost per MVC related to property damage and injuries was $36,039 and $24,038, respectively. Results suggest a need for additional exploration of MVCs involving Army vehicles, which were the most common and among the most costly.

We aimed to report the military-relevant functional outcomes after plate fixation. We performed a nested cross-sectional analysis of active duty service members enrolled in an ongoing multicenter, randomized trial on clavicle plating. For this analysis, we included subjects with >6 months follow-up. Outcome measures included radiographic appearance, physical examination, a military-specific questionnaire, and validated shoulder surveys. Mean follow-up for 28 clavicle fractures was 13 months. Union rate by 12 weeks was 93% (26/28). There was one case of soft tissue irritation requiring hardware removal. At latest follow-up, 75% of patients were satisfied; 68% had mild/no pain; 79% had full range of motion; 75% could perform push-ups; and 21% have deployed. For the majority of active duty personnel, rapid healing, return to military-specific tasks, and satisfaction with outcome are possible after plate fixation of clavicle fractures. However, approximately 25% report some functional limitations at 1 year.

Current research is limited to body region affected by the injury. Objective: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal diagnoses and mechanisms of injury (MOI) as well as associations to specific Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in a deployed Brigade Combat Team (BCT). Methods: Data collected on 3,066 patient encounters by the Brigade Combat Team physical therapist over 15 months were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ;(2 tests. Results: Mechanical low back pain was the most common diagnosis (19%), whereas overuse was the most prevalent MOI (22%). The Infantry MOS was significantly associated with meniscal tears and pre-existing injuries, the Maintenance MOS with contusions, Signal and Transportation MOSs with weight lifting injuries, and the Administrative MOS with running injuries. Conclusion: Different MOSs are preferentially susceptible to different diagnoses and MOls. Therefore, different injury prevention strategies may be needed across occupations.

Deployment of U.S. Forces overseas and Joint Service operations have increased, and large numbers of troops are currently deployed for long periods of time. Concerns of adverse health effects from environmental exposures, similar to the concerns about exposures to oil well fires in Gulf War I, continue to occur today. Although progress has been made in developing Joint Service policies for training and conducting environmental sampling, the military doctrine that drives this training and allows for the purchase of updated sampling equipment has been slow to respond to changes, thus resulting in conflicts between current technology and assets available in the field. The military needs to remain flexible to new technology and new requirements, and must standardize doctrine and training across the services, and acquire standardized, state-of-the-art sampling equipment to improve field assets.

A commander's focus is on preventing acute health risks, such as diarrhea, because these quickly compromise the mission. However, in recent conflicts chronic and long-term illness risks have emerged as concerns. Department of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff mandates require documentation of exposures and environmental conditions to reconstruct exposures and evaluate future health risks. Current processes for identifying and assessing hazards, including identification and assessment before deployment and in time to take action to prevent or reduce exposures, when followed, are generally adequate for known hazards. Identifying and addressing novel, unexpected risks remain challenges. Armed conflicts are associated with rapidly changing conditions, making ongoing hazard identification and assessment difficult. Therefore, surveillance of the environment for hazards and surveillance of personnel for morbidity must be practiced at all times. Communication of risk information to decision makers is critical but problematic. Preventive Medicine (PM) personnel should take responsibility for communicating this information to non-PM military medical people and to military commanders. Communication of risks identified and lessons learned between PM personnel of different military units is extremely important when one military unit replaces another in a deployed environment.

However, environmental samples collected for undefined or poorly defined reasons and that are not part of a feasible strategy of hazard identification, intervention, and follow-up will likely be of limited value. Military commanders and their advisors must be aware of the need to quickly identity potential hazards and to respond appropriately with a comprehensive plan that may include sampling. Before samples are collected, the following must be adequately addressed: (1) the reason for sampling, (2) the parameters to be measured, (3) the possible range of results that might be obtained, and (4) the actions that will be taken in response to various results. Additionally. communication of the risks to commanders and the potentially exposed population is important, particularly if the results are inconclusive.

The DoD has made significant improvements in documenting and assessing deployment environmental hazards and threats since 1991, illustrated by accomplishments in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Operations Noble Eagle (following the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks); Enduring Freedom-Afghanistan; and Iraqi Freedom (2003-2010). Sampling is now recommended as part of the DoD Exposure Assessment Method, a dynamic process that is performed during all phases of military operations: l--Predeployment, II--Mobilization, III--Conflict, and IV--Postdeployment. From 2001 to 2009, deployed personnel collected over 24,500 air, water, soil, and bulk samples during operations. These efforts have lead to the creation of an environmental health surveillance database that has been used to investigate public health issues. However, gaps exist, especially in the assessment of individual exposures during deployment.

Health effects possibly associated with these exposures were cause for concern among service members, veterans, and military and civilian leaders. A need for the military to effectively respond to these exposures, and more importantly, to assess and mitigate exposures before deployments and to conduct environmental surveillance during deployments was identified. The Department of Defense encountered many obstacles in dealing with the exposures of 1991. Even though these obstacles were being identified, and in some cases, addressed, responses to historical exposure concerns continued to be reactive. In 1996, efforts were intensified to improve policy and doctrine, field sampling equipment, risk assessment processes, geographic information systems, and other tools needed to effectively identify and reduce the impact of exposures before troops deploy and to conduct environmental surveillance while deployed. Success in these efforts resulted in a comprehensive, planned approach being implemented to address environmental health concerns during the 1999 Kosovo deployment.

To check these new and important results, we continued critical evaluation of tourniquet use for 6 more months in the current study to see if results were consistent. Methods: We continued a prospective survey of casualties and their records at a combat support hospital in Baghdad who had tourniquets used at a combat hospital in Baghdad (NCT00517166 at ClinicalTrials.gov). Results: After comparable methods were verified for both the first and current studies, we report the results of 499 patients who had 862 tourniquets applied on 651 limbs. The clinical results were consistent. No limbs were lost from tourniquet use. Conclusion: We found that morbidity was minor in light of major survival benefits consistent with prior reports.

We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database to compute the rates of AFI to identify high-risk ADA groups for the years 2000-2006. During this time, 16% of soldiers were clinically seen at least once for an AFI. Yearly, 60% to 70% of ADA soldiers with AFI had an ankle sprain/strain, and ankle sprain/strain had the highest 7-year rate of all AFIs (103 per 1,000). From 2000 to 2006, all AFI rates declined; however, enlisted male soldiers ≤30 years of age without an advanced degree were at highest risk. A history of an AFI in the previous 2 years increased AFI rates by 93% to 160%. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for identifying specific ADA groups at high risk of AFI: these groups should be targeted for preventive interventions.

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Supplemental Standards delineate that the training site shall operate or have access to an organized nuclear medicine department and that the program director must be a nuclear pharmacist with demonstrated expertise as defined by practice experience or board certification. The Supplemental Standard further states that the site shall provide a wide range of nuclear medicine studies. The U.S. Army operates 6 medical centers, 5 in the continental United States and 1 in Hawaii. Each of these facilities employs an in-house, residency-trained, board-certified nuclear pharmacists. We hope to utilize the knowledge and experience of this network of nuclear pharmacists as well as other nuclear pharmacy/nuclear medicine-related Web sites to further broaden our training program. Learning objectives: Discuss ways the Internet's information resources can be used in a nuclear pharmacy residency program. Self-assessment questions: True or False: 1. The Internet has become a major information resource for educational, governmental, and business institutions.

AB - The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of pace counting under varying conditions and to resolve discrepancies between U.S. Army Field Manual 21–26 (FM 21–26; Department of the Army, 1987) and pace-counting research conducted by Powers (1964). Two experiments were designed to measure accuracy of distance estimations from pace counting on-road and off-road under conditions of daylight and darkness. In both experiments, male soldiers enrolled in One Station Unit Training (OSUT) were trained to estimate distances based on pace counts performed on a flat road during daylight. In Experiment 1, the soldiers were tested on a flat road during both daylight and darkness; in Experiment 2, soldiers were tested off-road on hilly terrain during both daylight and darkness. The general finding in both experiments was that soldiers tended to underestimate distance during daylight and to overestimate distance during darkness. These errors became greater as the test conditions became less like the training condition. It was concluded that pace count should be adjusted, as indicated by FM 21–26, either by opportunities for more training time or by standard pace-count adjustment formulas. Also, because of inherent inaccuracies, pace count should be used as a backup and/or in conjunction with other land navigation techniques.

The purpose of this analysis was to develop battlefield injury outcome benchmark metrics and to evaluate the impact of JTTS-driven performance improvement interventions. METHODS: To quantify these achievements, the Joint Theater Trauma Registry captured mechanistic, physiologic, diagnostic, therapeutic, and outcome data on 18,377 injured patients from January 2004 to May 2008 for analysis. Benchmarks were developed and statistically validated by using control chart methodology. RESULTS: The majority (66.4%) of battlefield wounds were penetrating mechanism, 23.3% of all patients had an Injury Severity Score of > or = 16, 21.8% had a base deficit of > or = 5, 30.5% of patients required blood, and 6.8% required massive transfusion (> or = 10 units red blood cell per 24 hours). In this severely injured population from the battlefield, the JTTS developed several pertinent benchmark metrics to assess quality of care associated with postinjury complications and mortality. The implementation of 27 JTTS-developed evidenced-based clinical practice guidelines and an improved information dissemination process was associated with a decrease in aggregate postinjury complications by 54%. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the numerous challenges of a global trauma system, the JTTS has set the standard for trauma care on the modern battlefield utilizing evidence-based medicine. The development of injury care benchmarks enhanced the evolution of the combat casualty care performance improvement process within the trauma system.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial in western Kenya, adult volunteers received a treatment course of atovaquone-proguanil hydrochloride (250 mg plus 100 mg/tablet) to eliminate preexisting Plasmodium falciparum infection. Immediately thereafter, subjects were randomized to one of the 3 prophylactic regimens to receive one atovaquone-proguanil tablet daily (n=68), 2 atovaquone-proguanil tablets daily (n=65), or placebo (n=65) for 10 weeks. The study endpoint for any subject was the development of parasitaemia, evident on blood smear, during prophylaxis. Of the evaluable subjects, all in the low-dose (54 of 54) and high-dose (54 of 54) atovaquone-proguanil groups remained malaria-free during the 10-week prophylaxis period, in contrast to only 48% (26 of 54) in the placebo group (P<0.001). Both atovaquone-proguanil prophylactic regimens were as well tolerated as placebo. It is considered that atovaquone-proguanil appears to be highly efficacious and safe as prophylaxis for P. falciparum malaria.

Larval rearing temperature (13, 17, 19 or 26°C) did not affect the susceptibility of adult female C. pipiens to infection with RVF virus. In contrast, the adult holding temperature after a viraemic (hamster) blood meal affected infection rates in females. Significantly fewer mosquitoes contained detectable virus when they were held at cooler temperatures, 13°C (10%), 17°C (20%) and 19°C (41%), than at a warmer temperature, 26°C (91%). For mosquitoes held at 13°C and then switched to 26°C, infection rates increased steadily with increased time at 26°C. There was no effect on the ability to detect RVF virus in adult females that were subjected to cooler holding temperature (17°C) after they were first held at warmer temperature (26°C). The role of environmental temperature needs to be considered in studies on the epidemiology of arthropod-borne viruses.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Degenerate primers and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detected a conserved region of copia-like reverse transcriptase from Anopheles mosquitoes in Thailand. A total of 43 subclone PCR fragments of the size expected for reverse transcriptase of copia-like elements was isolated from A. dirus subspecies A, A. maculatus subspecies E, A. nivipes and A. subpictus. Sequence analysis of subclones confirmed the identity of these sequences as copia-like reverse transcriptase sequences. The sequences displayed varying degrees of sequence heterogeneity, in contrast to the limited diversity seen in copia-like elements in Drosophila. Phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences of the subclones showed that the majority of the retroelements were clustered together, implying that sequence divergence during vertical transmission of the copia-like retrotransposons has been a major factor in the evolution of copia-like retroelements in Anopheles species. Additionally, there is evidence that horizontal transfer of this transposon group among certain divergent taxa also may have played a role in their evolution.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Immunocytochemical methods were developed and tested for their ability to detect the distribution of O. tsutsugamushi in paraffin sections of adult chiggers (L. imphalum). Rickettsial antigen was detected by application of a simple direct or amplified immunocytochemistry procedure and an indirect immunofluorescent procedure. In the direct procedure, alkaline phosphatase conjugation to the mouse polyclonal antibody to the Karp strain was followed by the HistoMark Red test system to detect rickettsial antigen. The amplification procedure used a similar method but used an unlabeled primary antibody followed by secondary biotinylated antimouse IgG, streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase, and the HistoMark Red test system. The immunofluorescent procedure included a biotinylated secondary antibody followed by addition of a streptavidin-FITC conjugate. Specific tissue tropisms in infected chiggers were observed in the salivary glands, nervous tissue and ovaries of adult female mites in all procedures; however, nonspecific fluorescence of the chigger limited definitive identification of tissue tropisms with the indirect immunofluorescent procedure.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Following the documentation of chloramphenicol- and doxycycline-resistant strains of Orientia tsutsugamushi in Chiangrai Province, northern Thailand, the authors conducted ecological and epidemiological studies in 1993-96 near the houses of patients hospitalized with antibiotic-resistant infections. New associations between chiggers, rodents and O. tsutsugamushi in active rice agriculture areas, an ecological habitat not described previously, are reported. Rattus rattus was the most common species (representing 85.8% of the 1433 rodents processed), followed by R. losea (9.4%), Bandicota indica (3.6%) and R. argentiventer (1.3%). O. tsutsugamushi was isolated from 30% of the R. rattus and R. losea, 29% of the B. indica, and 33% of the R. argentiventer collected. Mean minimum infection rates were 0.03 in Leptotrombidium chiangraiensis and 0.002 in L. imphalum, a chigger species not previously associated with scrub typhus transmission. Efficient vertical and horizontal transmission of O. tsutsugamushi by L. chiangraiensis and L. imphalum was demonstrated. During a 19-month period from October 1993 to April 1995, the overall prevalence of human IgM and IgG antibody to O. tsutsugamushi was 25.5 and 47.3%, respectively. L. chiangraiensis and L. imphalum are incriminated as vectors of O. tsutsugamushi in a rice field habitat associated with a focus of antibiotic resistance.

The syndrome is caused by a distinct subpopulation of parasites which bind chondroitin sulfate A but not CD36. Primigravidae are particularly vulnerable to infection. Parasites adhere to the surface of trophoblastic villi and elicit the accumulation of inflammatory leukocytes in the intervillous space and the necrosis of adjacent placental tissue. Maternal malaria results in poor pregnancy outcomes. In holoendemic areas, both placental infection and poor outcome decreases in frequency with successive pregnancies; protection may result from control of parasite adhesion.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - The authors evaluated laboratory methods to confirm a clinical diagnosis of dengue. Acute sera were collected from personnel (n = 414) supporting the UN Mission in Haiti and presenting with febrile illness consistent with dengue fever or no apparent underlying cause. Dengue virus was recovered from 161 of 379 acute sera by inoculation into Aedes albopictus C6/36 cell culture. While 93 of 414 acute sera had detectable IgM antibodies, the IgM capture ELISA (MAC ELISA) had a sensitivity of only 13% compared with the virus isolation gold standard. If presumptive dengue fever cases were identified by both virus isolation and the presence of IgM, virus isolation and the MAC ELISA had clinical sensitivities of 69% and 40%, respectively. This study suggests that a combination of laboratory methods that target virus or subviral components as well as anti-viral IgM antibodies may be necessary for sensitive laboratory diagnosis with acute sera.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) isolated from typhus group (TG) rickettsiae R. typhi and R. prowazekii were characterized by chemical analysis and SDS-PAGE followed by silver staining. LPSs from the 2 species of TG rickettsiae contained glucose, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid, glucosamine, quinovosamine, phosphate, and fatty acids (β-hydroxylmyristic acid and heneicosanoic acid) but not heptose. The O-polysaccharides of these LPSs were composed of glucose, glucosamine, quinovosamine, and phosphorylated hexosamine. Resolution of these LPSs by their apparent molecular masses by SDS-PAGE showed that they have a common ladder-like pattern. Based on the results of chemical composition and SDS-PAGE pattern, it is suggested that these LPSs act as group-specific antigens. Furthermore, glucosamine, quinovosamine, and phosphorylated hexosamine were also found in the O-polysaccharide of the LPS from P. vulgaris OX19 used in the Weil-Felix test, suggesting that they may represent the antigens common to LPSs from TG rickettsiae and P. vulgaris OX19.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health; Tropical Diseases N2 - The authors evaluated the ability of selected strains of Aedes notoscriptus, A. vigilax, Culex annulirostris and C. quinquefasciatus to function as potential vectors of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus, should that virus be introduced accidentally into Australia. After feeding on a hamster with a viraemia of 107 plaque-forming units/ml of blood, A. notoscriptus and C. annulirostris were the most susceptible, with infection rates of 86 and 55%, respectively. Female A. vigilax and C. quinquefasciatus also were susceptible, with infection rates of 38 and 30%, respectively. All of these species transmitted RVF virus by bite 7-10 days after intrathoracic inoculation, and all, except C. quinquefasciatus (not tested), transmitted RVF virus to hamsters or mice 10-16 days after oral exposure. The presence of competent mosquito vectors for RVF virus in Australia indicates the potential for RVF virus epizootics to occur should this virus be introduced into Australia.

Language: English. Number of References: 37 ref. Registry Number: 63231-63-0. Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Veterinary Science N2 - Two outbreaks of encephalitis consistent with an aetiology of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus occurred in equines on the Pacific coast of southern Mexico in 1993 (Chiapas State) and in 1996 (Oaxaca State). In Chiapas, there were 125 cases, of which 63 were fatal, and in Oaxaca, there were 32 cases and 12 fatalities. Virus was isolated from 2 horses from each outbreak, including 3 brain isolates and 1 from blood. Virus isolates (93-42124, ISET-Chi93, Oax131 and Oax142) were shown by indirect immunofluorescence, haemagglutination inhibition, monoclonal antibody ELISA and nucleotide sequencing to be VEE virus, subtype IE, a type previously thought to be equine-avirulent. Genetic characterization and phylogenetic analysis indicated that the outbreak viruses were identical or nearly identical to one another and that they were closely related to equine-avirulent IE strains from Guatemala and the Gulf coast of Mexico. In a plaque-reduction neutralization test, sera collected from healthy horses in Chiapas and Oaxaca reacted significantly better with isolate 93-42124 than with Guatemala IE isolate 68U201, suggesting that subtle genetic changes may have resulted in alteration of neutralization domains. It is not clear whether these differences may also influence equine virulence. However, renewed VEE virus subtype IE activity in Mexico, and its apparent conversion to equine virulence, underlines the need for increased surveillance, additional laboratory and epidemiological studies in VEE-endemic regions, and possibly new vaccines. The EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ accession numbers for the new nucleotide sequences are U96403-U96408.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - To determine the prevalence of a recently discovered hepatitis G virus (HGV) in kidney transplant (KT) patients from Thailand, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers derived from the NS5 region of the viral genome was utilized. HGV RNA was detected in 40 (43%) of 94 KT patients, compared with 3 of 69 healthy subjects (4.3%). Co-circulation of HGV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was detected in 12 patients (13%). Comparison of patients with and without HGV revealed that the former had received haemodialysis before transplantation for a significantly longer duration than the latter (28 vs. 17 months, respectively; P<0.05). The amount of blood transfused and mean levels of liver enzymes, including alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase, were the same in both groups. Sequence analysis of 275-base pair DNA clones obtained from 2 patients revealed approx. 92% sequence homology to the published HGV and GB virus C sequences. It is concluded that HGV infection among KT patients in Thailand is high; the role of HGV in liver disease is undetermined.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - The effects of 30 days of undernutrition on healthy, physically active US soldiers were examined as part of a test of a nutritionally balanced but energy-deficient experimental ration. Tests of reaction time and standardized questionnaires assessing mood and symptom parameters (known to be sensitive to nutritional and other factors) were administered prior to and following a 30-day field exercise. During the exercise, 17 soldiers consumed a energy-deficient, lightweight ration (LW group, 1946 kcal/day) and 17 consumed a energy-adequate control ration (FN group, 2782 kcal/day). Mean energy expenditure for both groups was 3200-3300 kcal/day. There were no differences between the 2 diet groups on any of the measures of reaction time, mood, or symptoms after 30 days of ration consumption. Additionally, there were no adverse changes in reaction time performance from pre- to post-testing. Adverse changes in moods and symptoms were seen in both groups at the conclusion of the test, possibly because of the rigors of living in the field for an extended period of time. This study demonstrates that, in healthy individuals, various aspects of mental performance, mood and symptoms are not affected by up to 30 days of moderate undernutrition.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - A 30-year-old Filipino man presented [date not given] with a history of skin lesions on the left forearm and right upper abdomen which had gradually enlarged and ulcerated from small, non-pruritic papules over a period of 4 months. The man had recently returned to the Philippines from 2 years in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and had experienced asymptomatic insect bites before the onset of the lesions. Examination of the left forearm revealed a 3 cm oozing nodule surrounded by multiple 2-4 mm scaly papules and 5 non-tender, freely mobile nodules extending in a linear pattern from the primary lesion. Similar observations were made on the upper abdomen. Histological examination of the primary lesions showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with a heavy dermal infiltrate consisting of monocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells and an occasional mast cell. Focal areas of epithelioid granulomas and mild fibrinoid necrosis were noted. Haematoxylin-eosin and Giemsa staining revealed scattered monocytic cells containing abundant organisms consistent with Leishmania sp. Following treatment with oral itraconazole (100 mg daily for 1 month) the primary lesions healed with scarring and pigmentation and the subcutaneous nodules cleared without sequelae.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - To elucidate the role of Plasmodium falciparum-derived products on host immune activation, the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules (CD11b/CD18 and LAM-1) on neutrophils and monocytes was studied in response to malaria pigment using flow cytometry. Exposure of leukocytes to isolated malaria pigment derived from ruptured schizonts resulted in significant up-regulation of CD11b/CD18 expression and down-regulation of LAM-1 on both neutrophils and monocytes. In contrast, culture supernatants (pigment free) from ruptured schizonts did not alter the expression of CD11b/CD18 and LAM-1. The increase of CD11b/CD18 and the loss of LAM-1 expression occurred simultaneously with the earliest response detected at 10 minutes and a plateau reached by 60 minutes. The effect of malaria pigment on leukocyte adhesion molecules was inhibited by EDTA in a dose-dependent manner. Phagocytosis of malaria pigment was also suppressed by EDTA. This observation suggests that phagocytosis of malaria pigment may be a prerequisite for the effect of malaria pigment on the regulation of CD11b/CD18 and LAM-1 expression. Regulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules through up-regulation of CD11b/CD18 and down-regulation of LAM-1 by malaria pigment could promote leukocyte adherence to endothelium in vivo. This increased adherence of malaria pigment-activated leukocytes might induce cytokine (tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β) mediated increases in capillary permeability resulting in local tissue oedema and a cytokine mediated increase in adhesion molecule expression causing vascular clogging by adherent red blood cells and, in severe disease, by adherent leukocytes.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Due to the lack of an animal model, previous studies of sandfly fever have relied upon human challenge trials. The authors examined the infectivity and potential pathogenicity of sandfly fever virus in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). Three different preparations of sandfly fever virus, Sicilian strain, and a placebo were compared by different routes of administration. The most notable postchallenge clinical event was a decrease in lymphocytes in the intramuscularly challenged monkeys. Plaque-reduction neutralization responses peaked earlier in animals challenged intravenously as compared with those in animals challenged intramuscularly. There was no evidence for neurotropism or meningeal inflammation. Sandfly fever virus was infectious for cynomolgus monkeys, but produced no detectable clinical disease that might serve as a marker for animal modelling studies. On the other hand, the preclinical data provided supportive evidence for safe parenteral administration of a Sicilian strain of sandfly fever virus inoculum to humans as a challenge model for sandfly fever disease.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - An axenic amastigote screening system for potential antileishmanial compounds, using a Leishmania mexicana strain (M379), is described; it is easy to use but uses the clinically relevant stage of the parasite. A comparison of the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) drug sensitivity profiles of M379 promastigotes, intracellular amastigotes (cultured in macrophages of the J774A.1 mouse line), and axenic amastigotes for six clinically relevant antileishmanial drugs (sodium stibogluconate, meglumine antimonate, pentamidine, paromomycin, amphotericin B, and WR6026) showed that M379 axenic amastigotes are a good model for a primary drug screen. Promastigote and intracellular amastigote IC50s differed for four of the six drugs tested by a factor of 3 or more (pentamidine was 5 times more active against promastigotes, and meglumine antimonate 380 times less active, with sodium stibogluconate and paromomycin also being significantly less active); axenic amastigote and intracellular amastigote IC50s differed by a factor of 2 for only one drug (paromomycin, which was more active against axenic amastigotes). This shows that the susceptibility of axenic amastigotes to clinically used reference drugs is comparable to that of amastigotes in macrophages, whereas that of promastigotes is not. These data also suggest that for the compounds tested, susceptibility is intrinsic to the parasite stage contradicting previous hypotheses that suggested that the activities of antimonial agents against intracellular amastigotes were solely a function of the macrophage.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - On 24 February 1995, 6 US soldiers serving with the Multinational Force in Haiti became ill after eating a locally caught fish identified as the greater amberjack Seriola dumerili. The victims presented with nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhoea and abdominal cramps 5-8 hr after consumption. Also present in some victims were numbness in the extremities or perioral region, bradycardia and scalp paresthesia. Patients were treated with i.v. hydration therapy and antiemetics. All recovered without sequelae over the course of 1-3 months. A portion of the cooked fish was obtained for analysis. A semipurified lipid extract was prepared according to standard methods and analysed for the presence of Na+ channel site 5 binding activity using a brevetoxin receptor binding assay. By this assay, the fish sample contained the equivalent of approximately 20 ng Caribbean ciguatoxin/g flesh. The presence of the major Caribbean ciguatoxin (C-CTX-1) was confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Using the receptor binding assay to monitor activity in TSK and PRP-1 column fractions, 2 minor toxins were detected in addition to C-CTX-1. One of these minor toxins was more polar, and the other less polar, than C-CTX-1. These data provide firm evidence that a family of C-CTX-1 is responsible for ciguatera in the Caribbean.

Methods: The history deployment exposure surveillance was reviewed and the rationale for developing validated biomarkers that were detected in sera in postdeployment samples and compared with nondeployed controls was described. The goal was to find validated biomarkers that are associated with both exposures and health outcomes. Results: The articles in this supplement described novel serum biomarkers that were found to be associated with deployment exposures and weakly associated with some health outcomes. Conclusions: Future research must continue to validate the use of serum biomarkers when operational contingencies prevent the gold standard collection of real-time breathing zone samples in deployed service members.

A model composed of motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, implicit leadership, organizational commitment, general cognitive ability, and personality was proposed. Results from a longitudinal examination of 1,232 officer candidates suggest partial support for the model, and limited evidence for enlisted experience as a moderator. Candidate personality (partially mediated by interest in leadership and leadership self-efficacy) best predicted leadership performance during OCS and peer ratings of leadership potential. Implications for OCS selection and models of leadership performance are discussed.

Although some ROTC cadets receive no scholarship assistance, other cadets receive 2-, 3-, or 4-year ROTC scholarships in exchange for incurring a military service obligation after college graduation. The Army is particularly interested in awarding 4-year scholarships to individuals who are likely to excel in ROTC and become Army leaders. This research examined how well measures of temperament, work values, and leadership knowledge predicted the performance 4-year scholarship winners in various phases of ROTC, including their ranking on a national Order of Merit Listing in their senior year of college. Measures of temperament, work values, and leader knowledge strongly predicted each of the ROTC performance metrics.

It needs to identify and develop individuals who can adapt to many different mission types and to the various environments in which the Army operates, develop the strategic and tactical leadership skills necessary to perform effectively in higher ranks, and embrace the Army's warrior ethos. To create a performance-based foundation for accessing, assigning, training, and retaining officers, we conducted a job analysis study. Using Army doctrine, protocol, training manuals, and input from a number of Army officers, we identified 46 leader and management major duties that officers must perform with a high level of competence. The list is intended to be relevant for all Army officer positions and levels up to lieutenant colonel, though the relative importance of and time spent on specific duties varies by level, position, branch, and mission. We also identified 55 stable individual difference attributes and attitudes that underlie the determinants of officer performance and retention. We framed our study according to 2 models of job performance, 1 specifying the determinants of job performance and the other specifying the major components of job performance. The integrated models provide a theoretical basis for designing personnel systems or interventions to impact specific components of officer performance and for predicting their likely outcomes.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 11 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 281 SN - 15459624 AB - This investigation assessed the thermophysiological and subjective impacts of different respirator ambient air cooling options while wearing chemical and biological personal protective equipment in a warm environment (32.7 ± 0.4°C, 49.6 ± 6.5% RH). Ten volunteers participated in 90-min heat exposure trials with and without respirator (Control) wear and performed computer-generated tasks while seated. Ambient air cooling was provided to respirators modified to blow air to the forehead (FHC) or to the forehead and the breathing zone (BZC) of a full-facepiece air-purifying respirator using a low-flow (45 L·min−1) mini-blower. An unmodified respirator (APR) trial was also completed. The highest body temperatures (TTY) and least favorable comfort ratings were observed for the APR condition. With ambient cooling over the last 60 min of heat exposure, TTYaveraged 37.4 ± 0.6°C for Control, 38.0 ± 0.4°C for APR, 37.8 ± 0.5°C for FHC, and 37.6 ± 0.7°C for BZC conditions independent of time. Both the FHC and BZC ambient air cooling conditions reduced facial skin temperatures, reduced the rise in body temperatures, and led to more favorable subjective comfort and thermal sensation ratings over time compared to the APR condition; however statistical differences among conditions were inconsistent. Independent of exposure time, average breathing apparatus comfort scores with BZC (7.2 ± 2.5) were significantly different from both Control (8.9 ± 1.4) and APR (6.5 ± 2.2) conditions when ambient cooling was activated. These findings suggest that low-flow ambient air cooling of the face under low work rate conditions and mild hyperthermia may be a practical method to minimize the thermophysiological strain and reduce perceived respirator discomfort.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - The potential for H. impeltatum ticks to transmit Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus was examined in the laboratory. After feeding on 1-day-old mice that had been inoculated with CCHF virus, larval H. impeltatum became infected with and subsequently transmitted CCHF virus transstadially to nymphs. These nymphs transmitted virus horizontally to guineapigs and transstadially to adults. A minimum of 13% of the adult H. impeltatum, exposed to virus as larvae, transmitted virus by bite to guineapigs. An ELISA detected CCHF viral antigen in 63% of the adult ticks derived from those exposed to this virus as larvae. This tick species should be considered as a potential vector of CCHF virus.

Language: English. Number of References: 41 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - As a first step in formulating an improved plague vaccine, the authors developed a simple purification strategy that produced high yields of pure cell-associated and culture supernatant-derived fraction 1 capsular antigen (F1) from both avirulent Y. pestis CO92 (Pgm- Lcr-) and an E. coli F1-producing recombinant strain. Cell-associated F1 was partially purified by sequential ammonium sulfate precipitations of a sodium chloride extract of acetone-dried bacteria harvested from broth cultures. Cell-free F1 was precipitated directly from culture supernatants with a single application of 30% ammonium sulfate. By exploiting the aggregative property of F1, large quantities of purified high-molecular-weight F1 species from both cell extracts and supernatants were isolated in the void volume of a preparative gel filtration column. Highly purified, endotoxin-free F1, combined with 2 different adjuvants, induced very high F1 titres in mice and protected them against either subcutaneous (70-100% survival) or aerosol (65-84% survival) challenge with virulent organisms. This protection was independent of the source of the antigen and the adjuvant used. F1-induced protection against both subcutaneous and aerosol challenge was also significantly better than that conferred by immunization with the licensed killed whole-cell vaccine. The results indicated that F1 antigen represents a major protective component of previously studied crude capsule preparations, and immunity to F1 antigen provides a primary means for the host to overcome plague infection by either the subcutaneous or respiratory route.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Public Health N2 - A new lot of F. tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) was tested for immunogenicity in 19 human volunteers. Scarification vaccination induced specific cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. The authors noted a significant rise in antibodies against irradiation-killed LVS, formalin-killed virulent strain SCHU4, and an ether extracted antigen preparation (EEx) beginning 14 days after vaccination. A main target of the humoral immune response was lipopolysaccharide. 80% of vaccinated volunteers developed a positive IgG response to EEx by day 14 and 100% of vaccinees responded positively by day 21. Background IgA titres were lower than corresponding IgG or IgM titres. No early IgM rise was noted with any antigen. By day 14 after vaccination, in vitro lymphocyte responses to LVS, the rough variant of LVS, and EEx were significantly increased compared to controls. 70% of volunteers had a positive in vitro lymphocyte response to EEx within 14 days of vaccination.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - To evaluate the potential for arthropods to serve as reservoir hosts of Ebola virus, 3 mosquito species (Aedes albopictus, A. taeniorhynchus and Culex pipiens) and a tick (Ornithodoros sonrai) were inoculated with 102.5 plaque-forming units of Ebola Reston virus. After incubation at 22°C for 11 days, at least 6 specimens of each species were triturated and examined for evidence of viral replication by ELISA and plaque assay. There was no evidence of viral replication in any of the arthropods tested. Because intrathoracic inoculation bypasses various barriers to viral infection, the lack of replication of Ebola Reston virus in these inoculated arthropods indicates that these mosquitoes and ticks probably are not involved as natural reservoirs of Ebola virus.

Soldiers were divided into groups that completed and did not complete cholesterol nutrition education classes. Differences in the means of repeated cholesterol measures were compared within each group. Results showed declines in total cholesterol, with t(35) = 2.94, P<0.01 for the class completion group and t(22) = 2.18, P<0.05 for the dropout group. Similar results were noted for low-density lipoprotein measures. However, cholesterol differences in the means between the two groups were not significant. Results indicate that decreases in serum cholesterol may occur due to at-risk reactive behaviour, but that full compliance with the current nutrition education programme does not appear to further reduce cholesterol levels to any appreciable degree.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Venezuelan haemorrhagic fever (VHF), a newly described disease caused by an arenavirus (Guanarito), has resulted in multiple human deaths in Venezuela. To develop an animal model of this disease, strain 13 and Hartley strain guineapigs were inoculated subcutaneously with Guananto strain 95551 of arenavirus in a pilot study to determine susceptibility of the species to the virus. All animals were killed when moribund 12-14 days following inoculation. Animals were necropsied and tissues were fixed and examined by both light and electron microscopy. Viral antigen was demonstrated in the tissues by immunohistochemistry at both the light and electron microscopic levels. Lesions were characterized by single cell necrosis of epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract, interstitial pneumonia, lymphoid and haematopoietic cell necrosis, and the presence of platelet thrombi in occasional blood vessels associated with haemorrhage. Viral antigen was demonstrated in lymphoid tissues and macrophages, endothelial cells of multiple organs, pulmonary epithelium, epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract, and in miscellaneous other tissues and cells. Intact virions and typical arenavirus inclusions were demonstrated by immunoelectron microscopy in these tissues. Based on these findings, the guineapig appears to be a valid animal model of the human disease.

A.: Diagnostic Systems Division, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, Fort Detrick, Frederick, MD 21072-5011, USA. N1 - Accession Number: 19960502269. Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 20 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases; Helminthology N2 - When mosquitoes feed on a vertebrate host that is infected concurrently with virus and microfilariae (mf), both pathogens are ingested. If mf penetrate the mosquito midgut, a small portion of the ingested virus may disseminate directly into the mosquito haemocoel. This phenomenon, termed microfilarial enhancement of arboviral transmission, has the potential to enhance the infectivity of arboviruses to mosquitoes. The authors investigated whether concurrent ingestion of Brugia mf and eastern equine encephalitis virus would enhance the infectivity and subsequent transmissibility of the virus by Aedes mosquitoes. Trials with A. triseriatus and B. pahangi mf indicated that microfilarial enhancement was dose dependent. Both a sufficient number of penetrating mf and a sufficient viraemia were required for enhancement to occur. Furthermore, studies with B. malayi and 3 species of Aedes indicated that under comparable conditions of host viraemia and microfilaraemia, microfilarial enhancement occurred in some mosquito species (i.e. A. aegypti and A. taeniorhynchus) but not in others (A. triseriatus). It is suggested that certain key parameters determine whether dual virus/mf host infections will enhance arboviral infectivity to mosquitoes. These include species differences in the capacity of mf to penetrate the mosquito midgut, the amount of virus passing into the haemocoel during mf penetration, and the innate susceptibility of mosquitoes to haemocoelomically introduced virus.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Reintroduction of Rift Valley fever (RVF) into Egypt in 1993 raised concerns about the potential for Egyptian mosquitoes to transmit the virus. The authors evaluated the ability of Aedes caspius, Culex pipiens, C. antennatus, C. perexiguus, C. poicilipes and Anopheles pharoensis collected in the Aswan area and C. pipiens collected in the Nile Delta to transmit RVF virus. All mosquito species tested were susceptible to RVF virus infection, with A. pharoensis and Aedes caspius being the most sensitive to infection. However, none of 12 Anopheles pharoensis, including 10 with a disseminated infection, transmitted RVF virus by bite. In contrast, nearly all C. pipiens (87%, n = 15) and C. perexiguus (90%, n = 10) with a disseminated infection transmitted virus. Overall transmission rates for mosquitoes exposed to hamsters with a viraemia ≥107 plaque-forming units/ml were Aedes caspius, 20% (n = 5); C. pipiens, 7% (n = 102); C. antennatus, 7% (n = 30); C. perexiguus, 11% (n = 9); and Anopheles pharoensis, 0% (n = 7). Based on abundance, susceptibility to infection, ability to transmit virus, and feeding behaviour, Aedes caspius appeared to be the most efficient vector of the Egyptian mosquitoes evaluated. While less susceptible than A. caspius, C. pipiens, C. antennatus and C. perexiguus were also potential vectors during this RVF outbreak in Egypt.

Altogether, 11 608 adult females consisting of 21 anopheline species were collected. Abundance of species varied according to the village where collections were made. In one village that was studied most intensely, Anopheles minimus was the most commonly collected species, representing 55.6, 10.6 and 56.5% of the human bait, cattle bait and CDC light trap collections, respectively. In addition, A. minimus was abundant throughout the year, whereas A. maculatus was most commonly collected in July and August coincident with the rainy season. A. sawadwongporni, abundant at the beginning and the end of the rainy season, was most commonly collected in June. A. dirus was most abundant in April; however, it represented only 3.6% of all mosquitoes collected that month. Of 813 females collected in Palao-U Village and dissected, 38.9% were parous.

In the laboratory, A. dirus was more sensitive to CIC-4 than either AI3-37220 or diethyltoluamide. The duration of protection provided by each repellent in laboratory tests increased with higher concentrations of repellents and when exposed in cages containing fewer mosquitoes. A field study in Chanthaburi Province, southeastern Thailand, during November 1993 tested 25% (wt:wt) ethanol solutions of each repellent against A. dirus. In contrast to the laboratory experiments, protection provided by AI3-37220 was significantly better than either diethyltoluamide or CIC-4 and there was no significant differences between diethyltoluamide and CIC-4. Protection provided by diethyltoluamide and CIC-4 fell to below 95% 2 h after repellent application, whereas AI3-37220 provided >95% protection for 4 h.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - During a 13-month study on the ecology of malaria vectors in 5 villages in southern Thailand, Anopheles specimens collected by human-bait, bovid-bait and light traps were tested for the presence of Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum circumsporozoite antigen by ELISA. P. vivax antigen was detected in 7 specimens and P. falciparum in 21 specimens, together representing 0.4% of the 7938 specimens tested. In one village, Palao-U, circumsporozoite antigen was detected in 16 (0.7%) of the 2196 specimens tested. In this village, combined rates of infection with P. falciparum and P. vivax were 0.6% for A. minimus, 1.1% for A. sawadwongporni and 1.5% for A. maculatus. Circumsporozoite antigen was also detected in A. dirus, A. nivipes, A. barbirostris group and A. hyrcanus group specimens. Combined P. falciparum and P. vivax inoculation rates (number of infective mosquitoes biting/human/day) in the wet season (March-October) were 0.05 for A. minimus, A. maculatus and A. dirus, but 0 for A. sawadwongporni. Rates were higher in the dry season (November-February), with 0.26 for A. minimus, 0.13 for A. maculatus, 0.13 for A. sawadwongporni and 0 for A. dirus.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Weeds N2 - It has been suggested that the activity of trifluralin against Plasmodium falciparum, Trypanosoma brucei, and several species of Leishmania, in vitro is due to an impurity or contaminant, not to trifluralin itself. From this information the structure of the active impurity was identified. This compound, chloralin, is 100 times more active than trifluralin. On the basis of its structure, a rational structure-activity model for chloralin was developed. Using this model, active analogs were successfully predicted and tested in a Leishmania major promastigote assay; thus, the putative mechanism of action of this class of drugs was successfully identified in Leishmania species. Potentially, this will allow the design of noncarcinogenic, active drugs.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (IRBCs) were obtained from human placentas. These IRBCs bound to purified chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) but not to other extracellular matrix proteins or to other known IRBC receptors. IRBCs from nonpregnant donors did not bind to CSA. Placental IRBCs adhered to sections of fresh-frozen human placenta with an anatomic distribution similar to that of naturally infected placentas, and this adhesion was competitively inhibited by purified CSA. It is concluded that adhesion to CSA appears to select for a subpopulation of parasites that causes maternal malaria.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Dairy Science N2 - A commercial sensor combining immunomagnetic separation (IMS) with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was evaluated as a rapid bacterial assay for detection of E. coli O157 and Salmonella typhimurium in foods and fomites. Results indicate that detection limits are in the range of 100 to 1000 bacteria/ml in pristine buffer for E. coli O157 and S. typhimurium, resp., or 1000 to 2000 bacteria/ml in food samples (depending on the sample) and that total processing and assay time was <1 h even in food samples. An immunologic "hook" or high-antigen-concn prozone effect was observed above 104 and 105 bacteria/ml for E. coli O157 and S. typhimurium, resp. IMS was accomplished in milk, juices, serum, supernatant fluids from ground beef, finely minced chicken, and fish suspensions as well as several freshwater sources and followed by ECL assay. Some samples, especially fish, gave unexpectedly high background ECL. Conversely, low ECL intensity was observed in skim milk and 2%-fat milk samples, which appeared to be related to binding or entrapment of the antibody-coated magnetic beads by particulates in the milk, as revealed by microscopy. Results of this evaluation suggest the feasibility of immunomagnetic-ECL methodology for rapid, sensitive, and easy preliminary screening of various foods and fomites for the presence of virulent enteric pathogens.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - In a series of studies, attitudes of military and civilian consumers toward military and other institutional foods, e.g. foods served in school cafeterias, hospitals, military dining halls, on airlines, etc., were examined. The goals were to: quantify the extent and nature of these attitudes in terms of expected acceptability and expected quality of the food; determine whether these attitudes can be classified as stereotypical; assess the relative importance of presumed causes of poor quality and acceptability in institutional food, e.g. skills of food preparers, ingredient quality, consumption environment, etc.; identify the specific aspects of perceived food quality, e.g. flavour, texture, nutritive value, etc., that most differentiate commercial from military institutional food; quantify the relationship between expectations of acceptability and actual acceptability ratings of military institutional food; and detail the empirical effect of institutional vs. brand name food labelling on hedonic acceptability ratings. The results showed broad and significant effects of institutional food stereotypes on food acceptance and food quality ratings. This was interpreted within the context of a psychological model of the role of consumer expectations on food acceptability. The implications of the data for institutional and brand name food marketing are discussed.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - A study was conducted to examine how 2 environmental factors, the amount of effort required to obtain water and the drinking behaviour of a social model, affect water consumption during a meal. Experiment 1 focused on how the amount of effort required to obtain water would affect facultative water intake. The facultative component of water intake refers to the water consumption that is in excess of the water required for solute excretion. The second experiment was designed to validate the effect of effort on prandial drinking, to determine if drinking is affected by a social model, and to access the relative strength of these 2 environmental influences.

A case is reported from Texas, USA and four previously published cases of this disease entity are reviewed. Amikacin is recommended in the current medical literature as empirical treatment of disease due to M. fortuitum, but the isolate from the case patient showed high-level resistance to amikacin, which is rare in clinical isolates of this species; this resistance was probably related to prior treatment with topical aminoglycosides. The patient's infection responded to a 12-month course of therapy with clarithromycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.

However, it is not known how intravenous (i.v.) rehydration (Rh) with isotonic (ISO) or hypotonic (HYPO) saline affects these hormone concentrations. It was hypothesized that HYPO, versus ISO, would lead to lower plasma NE and cortisol concentration ((CORT)) during subsequent exercise following EID due to a decrease in plasma sodium concentration (Na+). Eight non-heat acclimated men completed three experimental treatments (counterbalanced design) immediately following EID (33 degrees C) to -4 percent body mass loss. The Rh treatments were i.v. 0.9 percent NaC1 (ISO, 25 ml.kg-1), i.v. 0.45 percent NaC1 (HYPO, 25 ml.kg-1), and no fluid (NF). After Rh and rest (2 h total), the subjects walked at 53-54 percent of maximal O2 uptake for 45 min at 36 degrees C. After Rh, the following observations were made before/during exercise: percentage change in plasma volume (PV) was lower in NF compared to ISO and HYPO but similar between ISO and HYPO; Delta(Na+) was similar between ISO and NF and higher in ISO compared to HYPO; Delta plasma was higher in NF compared to ISO and HYPO, but similar between ISO and HYPO; Delta plasma (CORT) was higher in NF compared to ISO and HYPO and higher in ISO compared to HYPO; rectal temperature was higher in NF compared to ISO and HYPO. These data would suggest that sympathetic nervous activity and (CORT) during exercise, subsequent to EID and Rh, was affected by lower PV (probably through cardiopulmonary baroreflexes) as well as core temperature. Furthermore, (CORT) was affected by Delta(Na+) after Rh through an unknown mechanism.

All three Hyalomma species became infected; infection rates ranged between 80 and 100% at 7-14 d after inoculation, and viral titers increased in unfed specimens almost 100 times above inoculation levels within the first week following infection. Only 40% of the R. appendiculatus became infected, and viral titers of unfed specimens increased less than 10 times above inoculation levels. The virus persisted to 153 d in unfed H. impeltatum. Viral titers were significantly higher in female than in male H. dromedarii, H. impeltatum, H. truncatum, and R. appendiculatus after blood feeding. Blood feeding had little effect on the viral titers of male Hyalomma species. However, the percentage of female and male ticks from which virus was recovered was significantly higher from fed ticks compared with unfed ticks. No virological evidence of transovarial transmission was found in greater than 78,000 first-generation progeny (larvae, nymphs, and adults) of inoculated female H. dromedarii, H. impeltatum, H. truncatum, and R. appendiculatus. All species transmitted CCHF virus to guinea pigs when allowed to feed at both 6 and 21 d after inoculation KW - kenya KW - mauritania KW - south africa KW - hyalomma KW - rhipicephalus KW - vectors KW - bunyaviridae KW - mankind KW - animal diseases KW - tickborne diseases KW - mauritanie KW - afrique du sud KW - vecteur KW - genre humain KW - maladie des animaux KW - maladie transmissible par tiques KW - kenia KW - sudafrica KW - vectores KW - genero humano KW - enfermedades de los animales KW - enfermedades transm par garrapatas KW - hyalomma dromedarii KW - hyalomma impeltatum KW - hyalomma truncatum KW - rhipicephalus appendiculatus UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=US9046604&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Valentine, Janet G.

Bozoisky-II was selected for seedling vigor, seed mass, seed yield, vegetative vigor, total dry matter production and response to drought. Relatively slow seedling growth and development were the most serious limitations within Russian wildrye. And selection emphasis on Bozoisky-II was for increased seedling vigor during establishment.

Methods: In a community-based, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trial, we evaluated four priming injections of a recombinant canarypox vector vaccine (ALVAC-HIV [vCP1521]) plus two booster injections of a recombinant glycoprotein 120 subunit vaccine (AIDSVAX B/E). The vaccine and placebo injections were administered to 16,402 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 years in Rayong and Chon Buri provinces in Thailand. The volunteers, primarily at heterosexual risk for HIV infection, were monitored for the coprimary end points: HIV-1 infection and early HIV-1 viremia, at the end of the 6-month vaccination series and every 6 months thereafter for 3 years. Results: In the intention-to-treat analysis involving 16,402 subjects, there was a trend toward the prevention of HIV-1 infection among the vaccine recipients, with a vaccine efficacy of 26.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], −4.0 to 47.9; P=0.08). In the per-protocol analysis involving 12,542 subjects, the vaccine efficacy was 26.2% (95% CI, −13.3 to 51.9; P=0.16). In the modified intention-to-treat analysis involving 16,395 subjects (with the exclusion of 7 subjects who were found to have had HIV-1 infection at baseline), the vaccine efficacy was 31.2% (95% CI, 1.1 to 52.1; P=0.04). Vaccination did not affect the degree of viremia or the CD4+ T-cell count in subjects in whom HIV-1 infection was subsequently diagnosed. Conclusions: This ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E vaccine regimen may reduce the risk of HIV infection in a community-based population with largely heterosexual risk. Vaccination did not affect the viral load or CD4+ count in subjects with HIV infection. Although the results show only a modest benefit, they offer insight for future research.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - New Jersey light traps were operated for the collection of adult mosquitoes from 15 May to 15 October in both years. This surveillance was performed to determine when to recommend insecticide spraying for mosquito control on 13 Army installations. A 'Trap Index' was developed, based on the number of female mosquitoes per light trap used by other U.S. Army Agencies in other parts of the world; thus, an index of 10 females per trap per night of Culex tritaeniorhynchus triggered control operations in August, while 25 female mosquitoes per trap per night of this vector species were required during the remainder of the surveillance period. A total of 28 118 and 33 203 adult mosquitoes were collected in 1991 and 1992, respectively, comprising 20 922 (74.4%) females and 7196 (25.6%) males in 1991, and 23 191(69.8%) females and 10 012 (30.2%) males in 1992. Of the 15 species collected, comprising 5 genera, Anopheles sinensis (37.05%), C. tritaeniorhynchus (28.44%), C. pipiens pallens (26.96%) and Aedes vexans nipponii (6.54%) were the commonest. The amount of rice paddy, drainage sites and ground pools in the vicinity probably accounts for the greater numbers of mosquitoes collected at the Kyonggi Province installation.

N2 - Atropine (ATR), HI-6 (1-2 hydroxyiminomethyl-1-pyridino-3-(4-carbamoyl-1-pyridino)-2-oxapropane dichloride) and various combinations of these were evaluated against lethal poisoning by the chemical warfare agents soman (GD) and tabun (GA) in guineapigs. The effect of adjunctive diazepam treatment on the efficacy of ATR and HI-6 against soman was also investigated. Animals of either sex were challenged s.c. with OP and treated i.m. 1 min later with ATR and/or HI-6. When used, diazepam was injected immediately after ATR+HI6. LD50s of each treatment were calculated from probit models based on 24-h survival against 5 levels of nerve agent and 6 animals per challenge level. A protective index (PI) was calculated by dividing the nerve agent LD50 in the presence of treatment by the LD50 in its absence. Treatment with HI-6 alone had little effect on the toxicity of either OP. Treatment with ATR alone was more effective than HI-6 alone and was significantly more effective against soman than against tabun. When used in combination atropine and HI-6 had a strong synergistic effect against both agents. The dose of atropine used with HI-6 was critical in determining the efficacy of HI-6 against either agent. The slopes of the dose-lethality curves were minimally affected by the dose of ATR or HI-6. Adjunctive treatment with diazepam enhanced the efficacy of HI-6 and atropine against soman. The results showed that ATR has a large effect on the efficacy of HI-6 against OP poisoning; that the dose of ATR must be carefully selected in studies investigating the efficacy of HI-6 against OP poisoning; that the effective dose of ATR in the guineapig is ~16 mg/kg; and that diazepam is a useful adjunct to atropine and HI-6.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A 1.2-kb EcoRI genomic DNA fragment of C. burnetii, when cloned onto a multicopy plasmid, was found to induce capsule synthesis (mucoidy) in E. coli. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed the presence of an open reading frame (ORF) that could encode a protein of 270 amino acids. Insertion of a tet cassette into a unique NruI restriction site resulted in the loss of induction of mucoidy. Because of its ability to induce mucoidy, this gene was designated mucZ. Computer search for homologies to mucZ revealed 42% identity to an ORF located at 1 min of the E. coli chromosome. The C-terminal amino acid residues of MucZ share significant homology with the J domain of the DnaJ protein and its homologues, suggesting potential interactions between MucZ and components of the DnaK-chaperone machinery. Results suggest that E. coli requires DnaK-chaperone machinery for Lon-RcsA-mediated induction of capsule synthesis, as noticed first by S. Gottesman. The induction caused by MucZ is independent of Lon-RcsA and is mediated through the 2-component regulators RcsC and RcsB. DnaK and GrpE but not DnaJ are also required for the RcsB-mediated MucZ induction, and it is proposed that MucZ is a DnaJ-like chaperone protein that might be required for the formation of an active RcsA-RcsB complex and for the RcsC-dependent phosphorylation of RcsB. Three different roles for alternative forms of the DnaK-chaperone machinery in capsule production are suggested.

All the patients had significantly decreased responsiveness to 7 different recall antigens. This was most marked before treatment. Uncomplicated P. falciparum cases showed significant hyporesponsiveness only during the first week. Responses in moderate/severe P. falciparum and all P. vivax cases gradually increased in the 2nd and 3rd weeks, but remained significantly below control values.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The authors determined whether mosquitoes infected with the viruses St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) or Venezuelan equine encephalitis inoculate virus extravascularly or directly into the vascular system. Infected mosquitoes (Culex tarsalis and Aedes taeniorhynchus, respectively) fed on the distal third of the tails of suckling mice. Significantly more mice whose tails were amputated at the midpoint within 10 min of mosquito feeding survived than did siblings whose tails remained intact. Even when tails were amputated 1-6 h after SLE virus-infected mosquitoes fed, the median time to death was significantly longer in mice with amputated tails (7.1 days) than in mice with intact tails (5.8 days). It is concluded that mosquitoes inoculated virus primarily extravascularly, rather than directly into the vascular system, while feeding on a vertebrate host. Extravascular, rather than intravascular, delivery of pathogens by mosquitoes may affect disease pathogenesis and vaccine efficacy.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - Sera from 2 groups of patients in Nepal with acute hepatitis were examined for the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis A, B, C, and E viruses to determine the aetiology of viral hepatitis. The first group consisted of 43 consecutive acute hepatitis patients presenting at a clinic for tourists and foreign residents in Kathmandu from January 1987 to June 1988. The other group consisted of 95 consecutive acute hepatitis patients admitted during the same period at a hospital used predominantly by adult Nepalese residents of Kathmandu. Hepatitis A was diagnosed in 39 (91%) of the foreign patients and in one of the 95 Nepalese patients, whereas hepatitis E was diagnosed in 4 of the 43 foreign patients and in 90 (95%) of the Nepalese patients. No cases of hepatitis B or C were identified in either group, nor were any cases of dual infection with the hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) identified. These results suggest that in the Kathmandu Valley, hepatitis A is the predominant form of hepatitis among foreigners, hepatitis E is the predominant form of hepatitis among adult Nepalese, and both HAV and HEV are endemic to the Kathmandu Valley.

Serum and faecal specimens were collected from 47 free-roaming swine and examined for the presence of HEV genomic sequences by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Serum from these animals, as well as sera 8 other swine, were also examined for the presence of HEV-specific antibodies by an ELISA and by a fluorescent antibody blocking assay. Hepatitis E virus RNA was detected in the sera and/or faeces of 3 of 47 swine, while HEV-specific antibodies were detected in 18 of 55 swine. These results indicate that HEV is a zoonotic virus, and that pigs are among its natural hosts.

AB - Comments on an article, Efficacy of the U.S. Army Policy on Hearing Conservation Programs by Oestenstad et al. (2008). Although we disagree with the methodology and conclusions presented by Dr. Oestenstad and his colleagues, we firmly appreciate their efforts to examine the hearing conservation program (HCP) at the Anniston U.S. Army Depot. The field of hearing conservation is well recognized for the healthy debates associated with the development of hearing damage risk criteria and the subsequent promulgation of hearing conservation standards. Our concerns with the manuscript presented by Oestenstad et al. fall into the following four topical areas: (1) study design, (2) use of the ANSI S3.44 Annex A and Annex B databases as control populations, (3) analysis of noise-induced permanent threshold shifts (NIPTSs), and (4) conclusions regarding the 3-dB exchange rate. Each of these will be discussed.

AB - Purpose: The aim of this exploratory study is to assess the impact of role clarity and concern for the other party's goals on soldiers' negotiations with members of the local population within a combat zone. Design/methodology/approach: Following the Dual Concerns Model it was hypothesized that soldiers experiencing high concern for the needs of their Iraqi counterparts would engage in: higher levels of problem solving behavior; report greater trust in their counterparts; and reach more mutually satisfying agreements under conditions of role clarity relative to role ambiguity. A total of 42 officers and non-commissioned officers serving in Iraq participated in the study. Findings: The results supported the prediction that role clarity moderates the relationship between concern for the other party's needs and various outcomes of the negotiation process. Research limitations/implications: The study involved a small convenience sample, cross-sectional design, and a single source of data for all measures. Nonetheless, the results are consistent with other studies examining the theoretical assumptions of the Dual Concern Model and suggest that role clarity may serve as a useful operationalization of high self-concern and high resistance to yielding. Originality/value: The study advances knowledge about soldiers' ability to negotiate mutually satisfying agreements with members of the local population. It points to the need to combine a policy of collaboration with local civilians with the communication of a clear set of overall mission and specific negotiation goals and objectives.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Following rodent surveys in a rice-growing area of central Thailand where B. savilei, B. indica and Rattus rattus were found infected with Rickettsia tsutsugamushi, a study of pathogenesis was performed of R. tsutsugamushi in laboratory-reared B. savilei. 8 animals were injected with saline and 19 animals were injected with 4.0×106 mouse 50% lethal dose units of a strain of R. tsutsugamushi isolated from a human in central Thailand. Animals were evaluated at intervals for IgG and IgM antibodies to R. tsutsugamushi by an indirect immunoperoxidase assay, the presence of the pathogen in liver and spleen by murine inoculation, and the pathology of representative tissues by gross and microscopic examination. The infected animals began to show internal evidence of mild illness 7-14 days after inoculation, and exhibited no changes in behaviour. Total white blood cell counts decreased on day 7 (including lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear leucocytes), followed by an almost equal increase on day 14. Gross pathology noted at necropsy was limited to slight liver and spleen enlargement accompanied by low numbers of abscesses and fibrinous tags present in the abdominal cavity. In addition to the gross morphological changes, histopathological lesions noted were all mild, consisting of vasculitis of the lung, activation of the mononuclear phagocyte system, abdominal mesothelial cell hyperplasia, and peritonitis. Rickettsiae were isolated from liver and spleen on days 0, 7 and 14, but not thereafter. Specific antibody response was first observed on day 14, peaked on day 21, and it decreased to levels observed in uninfected animals between days 120 and 180. The course of infection in B. savilei was less prolonged and more pathological than that reported in wild southeast Asian Rattus species.

The minimal required log reduction was achieved for bacteria, Giardia muris, and rotavirus, but CF did not achieve the required log reduction of poliovirus at any of the temp. or times investigated. The biocidal properties of the CF tablet were equivalent to if not greater than those of the globaline iodine tablet, and the CF tablet was a more rapid cysticide under several potential use conditions. Therefore, it was considered a suitable substitute for iodine tablets for emergency purification of drinking water. Clarification of turbid waters was effective, but filtration through a cloth is necessary to prevent flocculated sediment from entering the canteen. The CF tablets met military requirements for emergency water purification and are safe and acceptable for use by the military.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The vector competence of A. taeniorhynchus and 4 strains of A. albopictus was assessed for eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus isolated from A. albopictus collected in Polk County, Florida, USA. Both species became infected with and transmitted EEE virus by bite after feeding on 1-day-old chicks that had been inoculated with EEE virus (viraemia = 1010.1 plaque-forming units (PFU) per ml of blood). However, when fed on an older chick with a lower viraemia (viraemia = 106.1 PFU per ml of blood), A. albopictus was significantly more susceptible to infection (90%, n = 61) than was A. taeniorhynchus (15%, n = 40). Transmission was also significantly more efficient by A. albopictus (36%, n = 44), than by A. taeniorhynchus (0%, n = 14). These data, combined with the recent isolation of EEE virus from A. albopictus and its opportunistic feeding behaviour, indicate that A. albopictus could function as a bridge vector between the enzootic Culiseta melanura-avian cycle and susceptible mammalian hosts.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The ability of guineapigs to serve as a source of an arbovirus for feeding ticks was examined with H. truncatum and Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus. Ticks fed on guineapigs to varying degrees, as indicated by both low and high weight gain and haemoglobin uptake. Pools of larval ticks measured at drop-off with undetectable or very low haemoglobin levels (mean haemoglobin content = 0.05 mg per pool) contained the same amount of virus (>103.0 plaque-forming units (PFU) per pool) as pools of ticks with high haemoglobin levels (mean haemoglobin = 0.15 mg per pool).

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - The Plasmodium cynomolgi-Macaca mulatta model was used to test the antimalarial activity of new drugs for both radical cure and causal prophylaxis. The proguanil analogue WR250417 (also known as PS-15) was evaluated for causal prophylactic activity in rhesus monkeys infected with P. cynomolgi bastianelli. Four monkeys were orally dosed with 40 mg/kg/day of WR250417 over 3 days (-1, 0, and +1). Sporozoite-induced infection of P. cynomolgi was initiated on day 0 with 1 × 106 sporozoites inoculated intravenously into each monkey. Compound WR250417 extended the prepatent period from an average of 8.5 days for controls (n = 2) to a mean of 18.3 days (range 18-19 days, n = 4) for drug-treated monkeys. Analysis of plasma drug concentrations by high-performance liquid chromatography showed that the monkeys converted the WR250417 to its putative principal active metabolite WR99210 (a dihydrotriazine). The findings demonstrate that WR250417 and its principal metabolite do not prevent primary infection by P. cynomolgi.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) highly specific for the characteristic repeat units of the circumsporozoite proteins of the VL 247 and VK 210 polymorphs of Plasmodium vivax were used to test sporozoites produced by feeding mosquitoes on 1711 human volunteers presenting at 4 locations in Thailand over 5 years. There was no evidence for the existence of any polymorph other than the 2 already described. Based on the ELISAs, the overall prevalence of the VK 247 type was 29.5%, including those found mixed with VK 210. Relative proportions of VK 210 and VK 247 differed between collection sites. At all places, the ratio of VK 210 to VK 247 was significantly higher at the end of the non-transmission season than it was later during the annual monsoon, suggesting that there may be intrinsic biological differences between the polymorphs that affect their survival.

Number of References: 30 ref. Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Relationships between Plasmodium falciparum incidence and entomological inoculation rates (EIRs) were determined for a 21-month period in Saradidi, western Kenya, in preparation for malaria vaccine field trials. Children ranging in age from 6 months to 6 years and treated with Fansidar (pyrimethamine sulfadoxine) to clear malaria parasites, were monitored daily for up to 12 weeks to detect new malaria infections. Overall, new P. falciparum infections were detected in 77% of 809 children. The percentage of children that developed infections per 2-week period averaged 34.7%, ranging from 7.3% to 90.9%. Transmission by vector populations (mainly Anopheles gambiae and A. arabiensis with some A. funestus) was detected in 86.4% (38 of 44) of the 2-week periods, with daily EIRs averaging 0.75 infective bites per person. Periods of intense transmission during April to August, and from November to January, coincided with seasonal rains. Relationships between daily malaria attack rates and EIRS indicated that an average of only 7.5% (1 in 13) of the sporozoite inoculations produced new infections in children. Regression analysis demonstrated that EIRs accounted for 74% of the variation in attack rates. One of the components of the EIR, the human-biting rate, alone accounted for 68% of the variation in attack rates. Thus, measurements of either the EIR or the human-biting rate can be used to predict corresponding attack rates in children. These baseline epidemiological studies indicate that the intense transmission patterns of P. falciparum in Saradidi will provide excellent conditions for evaluating malaria vaccine efficacy.

None of the agitation methods used damaged the structural integrity and stability of encapsulated protein. However, different preparation procedures produced microparticles with different structures. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and in vitro studies indicated that heterogenous microparticles provided rapid release with a large protein burst (62%), and homogenous microparticles yielded slower protein release and a much lower protein burst (7%).

After vaccination, \IT/Vibrio cholerae\OK/ was isolated from 17 subjects with diarrhea. Sixteen cholera cases occurred 2 wk or longer after the second dose in 14 placebo patients and 2 vaccinees. Fourteen symptomless infections were also detected 2 wk or longer after the 2nd dose. The vaccine had significant protective efficacy against cholera, but not against symptomless infection. All cholera cases were in people of blood group O, who made up 76% of the study population. It was concluded that 2 doses of cholera vaccine given 1-2 wk apart provide rapid, short-term protection against symptomatic cholera.

The subjects were 5079 healthy male soldiers aged 18-53 years from 14 Army installations in the United States. The subjects completed as many push-ups as possible in 2 min, as many sit-ups as possible in 2 min, and performed a timed 3.2-km run. The training level was assessed by asking the subjects two questions about the frequency (times each week) and duration (hours each week) of their physical training. For all three performance events there were significant declines with age, but at a given age, groups that trained more demonstrated higher performance levels than groups that trained less. For the 3.2-km run, the age-associated rate of performance decline was less in the groups that trained more, and greater amounts of training resulted in progressively less performance decline with age. For push-ups and sit-ups, the training level did not systematically influence the age-related rate of performance decline. The results suggest that tasks involving different physiological systems may be influenced differentially by age and training.

The approach rests on the radar examination of an area several times, once, before there are targets present, and the other (or others) after. The change detection algorithm notices if there are any changes after the first view. In the present approach the prospective target is represented, not in terms of three complex elements of a scattering matrix, but in terms of phenomenologically-based Huynen parameters. Each element of the Huynen parameter set conveys a different type of physical and geometrical attribute about the scatterers, thus the potential for significant false-alarm mitigation is increased. We provide results of the application of this approach on fully polarimetric signatures of simulated pairs of buried cylindrical targets. These results indicate the following. 1) Huynen parameters are more effective for change detection than the scattering matrix elements because of their ability to generate higher unambiguous autocorrelation peaks and fewer dominating cross-correlation curves. 2) A large number of symmetries are observed in the plots of the Huynen parameters for both one and two buried cylinders. These symmetries may eventually lead to further classification insights. 3) By using standard Prony methods, relevant resonance frequencies are extracted from the parameter plots, from which the height of either one of the cylinders is estimated. 4) The diameter of either cylinder can also be obtained by a simple procedure based on ray-tracing and time delays. Numerical calculations substantiate all the above assertions.

AB - The Iraqi Ministry of Health (MoH) was without a leader for 6 months; targeted threats against the educated middle class and Iraqi leaders caused the minister to flee the country and seek asylum in the United States. The healthcare system demise has been multifactorial: lack of infrastructure maintenance for over 20 years, lack of continuing education opportunities for healthcare workers, exodus of workers because of violence from 2003 to 2007, and corruption infiltration from the highest to the lowest levels. The United States government was leading efforts for reconstruction projects in Iraq by working with international partners and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The increased emphasis on support for stability, security, transition, and reconstruction operations has been extremely effective at improving the status and acceptance of the United States and its military worldwide. Defining the current status of healthcare in a country along with the desired end state and developing the pathway that allows quick ownership of the project by the host government will be paramount for success. We will also continue to need to harmonize our activities at the local community level and the central government level. Using local resources such as medical schools and universities for community outreach as it is here that education on topics such as breastfeeding, home treatment of dehydration, sanitation, water control, and hygiene can leave a lasting impression on the population.

However, the long-term effects of such regimens on mood and cognitive performance are not known. We assessed the effects of low glycemic load (LG) and high glycemic load (HG) energy-restricted diets on mood and cognitive performance during 6 months of a randomized controlled trial when all food was provided. Subjects were 42 healthy overweight adults (age 35 ± 5 years; BMI 27.8 ± 1.6 kg/m²) with a mean weight loss of 8.7 ± 5.0% that did not differ significantly by diet randomization. Mood was assessed by using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Cognitive performance was assessed by using computerized tests of simple reaction time, vigilance, learning, short-term memory and attention, and language-based logical reasoning. Worsening mood outcome over time was observed in the HG diet group compared to the LG for the depression subscale of POMS (p = 0.009 after including hunger as a covariate). There was no significant change over time in any cognitive performance values. These findings suggest a negative effect of an HG weight loss diet on sub-clinical depression but, in contrast to a previous suggestion, provide no support for differential effects of LG versus HD diets on cognitive performance.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - Vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and leishmaniasis are a threat to military forces deployed outside of the United States. The availability of specific information on the vector-borne disease threat (e.g., presence or absence of a specific disease agent, temporal and geographic distribution of competent vectors, and vector infection rates) allows for effective implementation of appropriate measures to protect our deployed military forces. Vector diagnostics can provide critical, real-time information crucial to establishing effective vector prevention/control programs. In this article we provide an overview of current vector diagnostic capabilities, evaluate the use of vector diagnostics in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and discuss the concept of operations under which vector diagnostics are employed.

Warrior Transition Units (WTU's) are tasked with the challenging mission of caring for seriously injured or ill U.S. Army Soldiers. This paper explored the hypothesis that an educationally-based Mental Skills Training (MST) intervention can enhance self-esteem in members of a Warrior Transition Unit in the U.S. Army. The sample was comprised of 27 WTU cadre members who participated in an Army Center for Enhanced Performance (ACEP) MST educational workshop at a large Army installation on the West Coast. Instruments included the Ottawa Mental Skills Inventory (OMSAT-3; Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2001) and the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS; Wagnild, 1993). Results showed that SERS scores were significantly higher following the intervention. Furthermore, the ACEP instructional components of self-confidence, imagery, and mental practice were significant predictors of self-esteem. Results suggest that MST might be a viable educational approach for enhancing self-esteem in the WTU cadre.

AB - Sen and Wagner (see record [rid]2009-12853-001[/rid]) advance the thesis of the centrality of fundamentalist belief systems in violence. I provide further explication of their thesis by looking at the Romanian case. The explosion of violence around 1940–41, the years when Romania joined the Axis and entered the Second World War cannot be understood without taking into account the historical, political, social, and cultural factors that created the radical atmosphere of xenophobia, mass psychosis, and mobilization against Others. Rumors emerge as the most powerful psychological means of spreading the official master narrative of ‘domestic Jewish treason’. Reinterpretation of various cultural symbols also played an important role in excluding the Jewish Other from the national community.

AB - This article was written at the request of the Secretary of Defense Task Force on DoD Nuclear Weapons Management. While this analysis suggests that certain types of terrorists can be deterred from certain types of attacks, it is less optimistic about the use of nuclear weapons in a terrorist deterrent strategy. A broad approach to deterrence may be effective against certain types of terrorist groups and attacks, making it crucially important to disaggregate the terrorist threat when setting policy. The article goes on to address two types of terrorist groups with a 'global reach' that pose a serious threat to the United States: non-state actors driven by doctrines permitting catastrophic attacks and state-sponsored groups capable of carrying out catastrophic attacks. The analysis reveals a number of previously unappreciated tradeoffs and paradoxes associated with the deterrence of terrorists.

AB - The authors developed and tested a multistage model of distal and proximal predictors of leader performance in an effort to shed greater light on the intermediate linkages between broad leader traits and performance. Predictor and criterion data were obtained from 471 noncommissioned officers in the U.S. Army. A model with cognitive ability and 3 of the Big 5 personality factors as distal antecedents, leadership experiences and motivation to lead as semidistal antecedents, and the knowledge, skills, and ability (KSAs) to lead as proximal antecedents of leader performance provided a good fit to the data. More specifically, the effects of the distal and semidistal antecedents on leader performance were partially mediated by more proximal variables, whereas leader KSAs demonstrated a relatively strong, direct influence on performance. The 1 exception was that Conscientiousness—a hypothesized distal antecedent—had a notable direct effect on leader performance. The implications of these findings for leadership research and practice are discussed.

AB - Perspective goals, such as studying a map to learn a route through an environment or the overall layout of an environment, produce memory congruent with the goal-directed rather than the studied perspective. One explanation for this finding is that perspective goals guide attention towards actively gathering relevant information during learning. A second explanation is that information is automatically organized into a goal-congruent spatial model that guides retrieval. Both explanations predict goal-congruent memory, but only the former one predicts eye movement differences during study. The present experiment investigated the effect of perspective goals on eye movement during map study and the flexibility of resulting spatial memories. Results demonstrate eye movements towards goal-congruent map elements during learning, and lasting memory effects at test. These findings carry implications for the design of adaptive hand-held and in-vehicle navigation interfaces that accommodate for varied user goals.

Men and women (total N = 54; M age = 19.8 yr., SD = 1.2) were recruited from college athletic teams. Euhydration or dehydration was achieved by athletes completing team practices with or without water replacement. Dehydration was associated with higher thirst and negative mood ratings as well as better Digit Span performance. Participants showed better Vigilance Attention with euhydration. Hydration status and athlete's sex interacted with performance on Choice Reaction Time and Vigilance Attention. In a second study, half of the athletes received glucose prior to cognitive testing. Results for negative mood and thirst ratings were similar, but for cognitive performance the results were mixed. Effects of glucose on cognition were independent of dehydration.

AB - Recent work has demonstrated that horizontal saccadic eye movements enhance verbal episodic memory retrieval, particularly in strongly right-handed individuals. The present experiments test three primary assumptions derived from this research. First, horizontal eye movements should facilitate episodic memory for both verbal and non-verbal information. Second, the benefits of horizontal eye movements should only be seen when they immediately precede tasks that demand right and left-hemisphere processing towards successful performance. Third, the benefits of horizontal eye movements should be most pronounced in the strongly right-handed. Two experiments confirmed these hypotheses: horizontal eye movements increased recognition sensitivity and decreased response times during a spatial memory test relative to both vertical eye movements and fixation. These effects were only seen when horizontal eye movements preceded episodic memory retrieval, and not when they preceded encoding (Experiment 1). Further, when eye movements preceded retrieval, they were only beneficial with recognition tests demanding a high degree of right and left-hemisphere activity (Experiment 2). In both experiments the beneficial effects of horizontal eye movements were greatest for strongly right-handed individuals. These results support recent work suggesting increased interhemispheric brain activity induced by bilateral horizontal eye movements, and extend this literature to the encoding and retrieval of landmark shape and location information.

AB - Objective: To determine whether military health care beneficiaries with low back pain (LBP) who are likely to respond successfully to spinal manipulation experience a difference in short-term clinical outcomes based on the manipulation technique that is used. Methods: Sixty patients with LBP identified as likely responders to manipulation underwent a standardized clinical examination and were randomized to receive a lumbopelvic (LP) or lumbar neutral gap (NG) manipulation technique. Outcome measures were a numeric pain rating scale and the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. Results: Both the LP and NG groups experienced statistically significant reductions in pain and disability at 48 hours postmanipulation. The improvements seen in each group were small because of the short follow-up. There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in pain or disability between the two groups. Conclusion: The two manipulation techniques used in this study were equally effective at reducing pain and disability when compared at 48 hours posttreatment. Clinicians may employ either technique for the treatment of LBP and can expect similar outcomes in those who satisfy the clinical prediction rule (CPR). Further research is required to determine whether differences exist at longer-term follow-up periods, after multiple treatment sessions, or in different clinical populations.

AB - A preoccupation with network approaches in terrorism studies has inadvertently marginalized the fact that terrorist groups are subject to many of the same bureaucratic forces that impact all purposeful organizations. Because typical organizations are subsumed in the concept of networks, it is curious that scholars have been so quick to bypass more traditional models of organizations and bureaucracy that may help us understand network topology. This article relies on the new institutional approach to organizational behavior. Using the Coase theorem to explain the costs and benefits associated with different organizational structures, it follows that counter terrorism efforts may drive some groups toward greater autonomy while compelling others to adopt common bureaucratic processes, often referred to as isomorphism. By exploring the different costs that terror groups face and examining the characteristics of terrorists associated with different groups, organizational theory can help explain a divergent trend in terrorism research: leaderless jihad and increased bureaucratization.

Copyright Statement: Aerospace Medical Association AB - Introduction: Acute cold stress is often accompanied by exposure to other adverse factors, such as sleep loss, under-nutrition, and psychological stress that singly and together may affect cognitive function. Methods: The effect of moderate cold stress on cognitive function was investigated in 15 male volunteers exposed to cold air (10°C) for 4 h after they had completed an intense, 61-d regimen (U.S. Army Ranger training). The single cohort of volunteers was tested on three separate occasions: 1) immediately after completing Ranger training; 2) 2 d later when they had partially recovered from training; 3) 108 d later after full recovery. Documented training stressors included limited sleep (~4 h sleep/night), caloric deficit (~850 kcal • d-1), intense physical activity, and psychological stress. Results: Baseline rectal temperature fell significantly due to training alone (from 36.6°C ± 0.1 to 36.3°C ± 0.1) and was lower still with acute cold exposure (35.9°C ± 0.2). Cognitive function was affected by training alone, as indicated by significant decreases in vigilance, four-choice reaction time, pattern recognition, symbol-digit substitution, word-list learning, grammatical reasoning, and mood prior to exposure to acute cold stress. Mood states were also adversely affected, including tension, depression, anger, fatigue, confusion, and vigor. Acute cold exposure itself significantly degraded vigilance, overall mood, and increased tension. Discussion: Chronic multifactorial stress impaired cognitive function and mood; the addition of moderate, acute cold stress further degraded vigilance and mood. When such circumstances occur, such as during disasters or military operations, measures to prevent adverse cognitive and physiological outcomes are recommended.

AB - Aim: The aim of this paper is to establish a theoretical model for the exploration of the phenomenon of menstruation and women’s attitudes towards menstrual suppression during military operations. Background: In the emerging field of literature that explores menstruation among military women, there are indications that menstrual symptoms and hygiene are problematic under the circumstances of deployment to military operations. While menstrual suppression may be a solution to problems that women encounter with menstruation during deployment, there is little research exploring the phenomenon. Data sources: CINAHL and Medline were used to locate peer reviewed journal papers published from 1977 to 2007. International military reports were obtained through an internet search engine (Google™). Discussion: Issues that military women encounter surrounding menstruation during deployment are framed according to components of human ecology and social ecology theories, creating a theoretical model for the study of military women’s menstrual health. Theoretical substruction is then used to evaluate the proposed theoretical and operational systems for measuring military women’s attitudes during deployment. The process of theoretical substruction validates the model and the theoretical integrity of the proposed research on women’s attitudes towards suppression. Conclusion: A theory-based model for women’s health under challenging environmental conditions will enhance the holistic consideration of women’s health issues by care providers. The theoretical model clearly explicates the phenomenon of menstruation during deployment and the theoretical and operational systems are soundly linked in the proposed measurement model of military women’s attitudes towards menstrual suppression.

AB - Muscle or electromyogenic (EMG) artifact poses a serious risk to inferential validity for any electroencephalography (EEG) investigation in the frequency-domain owing to its high amplitude, broad spectrum, and sensitivity to psychological processes of interest. Even weak EMG is detectable across the scalp in frequencies as low as the alpha band. Given these hazards, there is substantial interest in developing EMG correction tools. Unfortunately, most published techniques are subjected to only modest validation attempts, rendering their utility questionable. We review recent work by our laboratory quantitatively investigating the validity of two popular EMG correction techniques, one using the general linear model (GLM), the other using temporal independent component analysis (ICA). We show that intra-individual GLM-based methods represent a sensitive and specific tool for correcting on-going or induced, but not evoked (phase-locked) or source-localized, spectral changes. Preliminary work with ICA shows that it may not represent a panacea for EMG contamination, although further scrutiny is strongly warranted. We conclude by describing emerging methodological trends in this area that are likely to have substantial benefits for basic and applied EEG research.

AB - Eating disorders are a particular problem for college students, as well as college athletes and military personnel. We examined the incidence, prevalence, and risk of eating disorders at the United States Military Academy (USMA) over a 7-year period (total population 12,731 cadets). The incidence per year for females was 0.02% for anorexia, 0.17% for bulimia, and 0.17% for eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and for males was 0.0% for anorexia, 0.003% for bulimia, and 0.02% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. The total prevalence of diagnosed eating disorders for females was 5% and for males was 0.1%. For females over the 7-year period, we found a prevalence of 0.2% for anorexia, 1.2% for bulimia, 1.2% for eating disorders not otherwise specified, and for males we found a prevalence of 0.0% for anorexia, 0.02% for bulimia, and 0.03% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. Nineteen percent of females and 2% of males scored a 20 or higher on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT)-26 survey indicating they were at risk for developing an eating disorder. We conclude that the prevalence of eating disorders at USMA is comparable to civilian colleges.

This study examined the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in soldiers (N = 3,792) undergoing combat medic training. At the start of training, 10.4%, 15.5%, and 4.1% of soldiers had clinically significant depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation, respectfully. These percentages increased to 12.2%, 20.3%, and 5.7% at completion of training, respectfully. Worsening of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation occurred for 7.7%, 11.4%, and 4% of soldiers. Higher percentages of symptoms were associated with females, lower education, and lower income. Active duty personnel were more likely to worsen following training with respect to suicidal ideation (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.2-2.9) compared to reservists. The identification of these significant predictors of mental health status may serve to identify individuals at risk. Additional work to examine the relative contribution of anticipatory (impending deployment) factors vs. training-related factors is warranted.

By intervention, the authors mean any study where the researcher overtly manipulated leadership as the independent variable through training, assignment, scenarios, or other means. Results showed a significant difference in the effect sizes for leadership interventions conducted with all-male and majority-male participants versus all-female and majority-female participant studies; however, these differences varied based on the setting of the intervention, the theoretical basis of the intervention, and the type of outcome. Implications for further research on gender differences with respect to examining cause–effect impact of leadership interventions are discussed.

AB - The U.S. Department of Defense invested $150 M to investigate undiagnosed Gulf War Illnesses (GWI) and twice that amount in post hoc clinical management. No new disease syndrome was identified, but the research produced new understanding and awareness of important psychosocial and neurotoxicological interactions that represented a difficult and relatively untapped frontier in biomedical research, especially concerning chronic multisymptom illnesses. Some specific Gulf War issues such as effects of depleted uranium, Leishmania diagnosis and treatment, and pesticide and prophylactic drug interactions have been intensively investigated; remaining priorities for further investigation include: markers of neurologic change (e.g., neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing), interactions between psychological resilience and neurotoxicity, structure-function relationships of neurotoxins with neurodegenerative disease potential, and predictors of individual susceptibility. The primary conclusions from the program are that no specific neurotoxic chemical has been identified that explains the chronic multisymptom illness observed but wellness of service members in future deployments may be better sustained based on continuing research on preexposure health baselining, fitness and health-damaging behaviors, and stress resilience. The many scientific discoveries and accomplishments of the GWI research effort have advanced military medical science, provided a solid basis on which to build future protections against health and performance risks to the warfighter, and improved the ability to respond to future deployment health issues.

The article serves to update and extend Salas, Rozell, Mullen, and Driskell’s (1999) team-building meta-analysis by assessing a larger database and examining a broader set of outcomes. Our study considers the impact of four specific team-building components (goal setting, interpersonal relations, problem solving, and role clarification) on cognitive, affective, process, and performance outcomes. Results (based on 60 correlations) suggest that team building has a positive moderate effect across all team outcomes. In terms of specific outcomes, team building was most strongly related to affective and process outcomes. Results are also presented on the differential effectiveness of team building based upon the team size.

Graphing calculators, computer algebra systems, and technological advances have changed both the way that our students learn and how educators teach. It is imperative that we as educators adapt to meet our students on their ground. Teaching effectively is difficult and requires more than just knowledge of the concepts. Effective teaching requires creativity, flexibility, and passion. Critical to the successful implementation of this curriculum change was the integration of computer technology throughout the four-semester core mathematics program. Computer algebra systems and graphing calculators became an important component of mathematics instruction. We share a passion for teaching and discussed many challenges that we each face. What follows are five articles that attempt to address what we believe are important issues in our profession. We offer no quick solutions to these difficult problems. However, we share our struggles and provide examples of techniques that we have used that we believe have successfully improved teaching. We hope that these articles stimulate discussions among faculty, experienced and inexperienced, leading to development of better teaching and learning environments.

AB - A multilevel model is offered proposing that organizational learning is an interdependent system where effective leaders enact intervention strategies at the individual (micro), network (meso), and systems (macro) levels. We suggest that leaders approach organizational learning by setting the conditions and structure for learning to occur, while limiting direct interference in the actual creative processes. First, leaders may increase the level of developmental readiness of individual followers, thereby increasing their motivation and ability to approach learning experiences and adapt their mental models. These individuals then serve as catalysts of learning within and between social networks. Second, leaders may promote the diffusion of knowledge between these knowledge catalysts within and across social networks through influencing both the structure and functioning of knowledge networks. Finally, leaders may target actions at the systems level to improve the diffusion to, and institutionalization of, knowledge to the larger organization.

AB - Multiformat and modality interfaces have become popular and effective tools for presenting information in training and instructional systems. Technological innovation, however, has far surpassed researchers’ understanding of how and under what circumstances these technologies are useful towards information gathering. Some recent research has begun to characterize the cognitive mechanisms that may be responsible for the comprehension and memory advantages typically seen with multimedia learning, as well as the role of individual differences in this process. Other work has defined effective pedagogical practices, such as instructional content and organization, for producing engaging and effective learning experiences. This chapter attempts to bridge these two research areas and provides concrete design recommendations for current instructional practice and directions for future research.

Copyright Statement: All rights reserved. IOS Press. 2009. AB - Negotiation skills are essential in everyday life, whether in a professional or personal context. Negotiation enables two parties to address misunderstandings and avoid conflicts through an exchange that depends as much on the interpersonal skills of the negotiators as the tactics employed. Acquiring these skills requires not only sound conceptual knowledge but also practice and mentoring. This paper describes the BiLAT game-based simulation and tutoring system developed to provide students, initially United States Army soldiers, with an environment to practice preparing for and conducting bilateral negotiations. We describe the models that were created to implement BiLAT, with a particular focus on the challenge of designing for and tutoring in the ill-defined domain of negotiation. An initial assessment of the training effectiveness of the system indicates significant situation-judgment gains by novices.

AB - It is the thesis of this chapter that personal commitment to a principled ethical ideology, as opposed to a more expedient ideology, determines the strength of the relationship between moral beliefs and behavior. Personal commitment links the self-system to moral principles, producing a sense of obligation to perform consistently with those principles, a sense of responsibility for relevant conduct, and an unwillingness to condone and rationalize ethical failures and transgressions. With high personal commitment, a principled ethical ideology becomes a dominant schema for interpreting events and for guiding conduct. As such, the strength of commitment to a principled ideology has implications for a wide range of social activities. The remainder of this chapter will elaborate these ideas.

AB - This chapter discusses a military training program for the development of specific cognitive skills. Professionals face unexpected challenges every day. The sector of our society that has had the most experience preparing for unexpected crises situations is the military. As a result of the contemporary operational environment, soldiers have experienced the need to adapt to virtually continuous changes in technical equipment and skills, as well as unique radical changes resulting from differences in conventional war and guerilla war. This has led to an increased need to develop adaptability skills in Army leaders. To address the needs described above, researchers at the U.S. Army Research Institute (ART) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences investigated new methods designed to train complex cognitive behaviors. The result of the work was a theme-based training approach that could be used to train soldiers in expert mental models using an explicit set of behaviors or 'themes.' The training method has been used to train leader adaptability skills in tactical and non-tactical environments, crisis management skills, and battle command thinking skills. This chapter documents a series of research efforts embodied in the theme-based method to develop the U.S. Army's Think Like a Commander (TLAC) training program. The TLAC program structures a deliberate practice of military thinking to develop habits consistent with those of expert tacticians. In addition, use of the method in civilian organizations is discussed.

AB - Urge surfing is a cognitively based urge management technique. In general, urge surfing involves teaching the client a collection of closely related strategies to cope with and overcome urges to behave in ways (e.g., to smoke) that are counter to their therapeutic goals. Clients are taught to treat urges as though they were like waves in the ocean. Urges come on, grow in intensity, and eventually subside just like ocean waves. Moreover, like waves, urges tend to be brief. They do not grow and grow until the client has to do something before they will go away. Urges go away on their own. The only way that urges get stronger is to give in to them. The more an individual acquiesces to urges, the more frequent and strong they may become. Each time an urge is resisted through urge surfing, the urge has been beaten and subsequent urges become less frequent and less intense.

AB - Readers mentally simulate the objects and events described in narratives. One common assumption is that readers mentally embody an actor’s perspective; alternatively, readers might mentally simulate events from an external 'onlooker' perspective. Two experiments examined the role of pronouns in modulating a reader’s adopted perspective when comprehending simple event sentences. Experiment 1 demonstrated that readers embody an actor’s perspective when the pronoun you or I is used, but take an external perspective when he is used. Experiment 2, however, found that a short discourse context preceding the event sentence led readers to adopt an external perspective with the pronoun I. These experiments demonstrate that pronoun variation and discourse context mediate the degree of embodiment experienced during narrative comprehension: In all cases, readers mentally simulate objects and events, but they embody an actor’s perspective only when directly addressed as the subject of a sentence.

For example, hills look steeper to people who are fatigued or burdened by a heavy load. Similarly, perceived distance is also influenced by the energy required to walk or throw to a target. Such experiments demonstrate that perception is a function, not just of optical information, but also of the perceiver’s potential to act and the energetic costs associated with the intended action. In the current paper, we expand on the notion of 'cost' by examining perceived distance in patients diagnosed with chronic pain, a multifactorial disease, which is experienced while walking. We found that chronic pain patients perceive target distances to be farther away compared with a control group. These results indicate the physical, and perhaps emotional, costs of chronic pain affect spatial perceptions.

AB - Memories of Mass Repression: Narrating Life Stories in the Aftermath of Atrocity presents the results of researchers working with the voices of witnesses. Its stories include the witnesses, victims and survivors; they also reflect the subjective experience of the study of such narratives. The work contributes to the development of the field of oral history, where the creation of the narrative is considered an act of interaction between the text of the narrator and the listener. The contributors are particularly interested in ways in which memory is created and molded. The interactions of different, even conflicting, memories of other individuals and society as a whole are considered. In writing the history of genocide, 'emotional' memory and 'objective' research are interwoven and inseparable. It is as much the historian's task to decipher witness accounts, as it is to interpret traditional written sources. These sometimes antagonistic narratives of memory fashioned and mobilized within public and private arenas, together with the ensuing conflicts, paradoxes, and contradictions that they unleash, are all part of efforts to come to terms with what happened. Mining memory is the only way in which we can hope to arrive at a truer, and less biased, historical account of events. Memory is at some level selective. Most believers in political movements that turned out to be the opposite of what they promised confront such emotions. When given a proper forum, stories that are in opposition to dominant memories, or in conflict with our own memories, can effectively battle collective forgetting. This volume offers the reader a subjective vision of history without falsifying the objective reality of human survival.

AB - It is the purpose of this chapter to document what is known about the mechanisms of teamwork interaction that enable the development of the wisdom of collectives. Surely all collectives are not equal. Not all teams are able to leverage their team member expertise effectively (e.g., Hirschfeld, Jordan, Feild, Giles, & Armenakis, 2006). So what separates exceptional from average and poorer performing teams? Understanding the processes of teamwork is key to understanding the wisdom of collectives, the means by which teams successfully interact to produce superior team outcomes. This issue has been studied from many different vantage points, and a complete review of these efforts is well beyond the scope of any one chapter. Therefore, the intent of this chapter is to both retrospectively and prospectively chart the course of the study of teams by demarcating where we've been, where we are, and where we should be headed as a field of inquiry. To this end, we set out to meet the following goals. First, we provide an overview of teamwork by reviewing the current scientific understanding of teams and recent developments in the field. Second, we further delineate teamwork by updating the teamwork competencies—the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) necessary for effective teamwork—proposed more than a decade ago by Cannon-Bowers, Tannenbaum, Salas, and Volpe (1995). Third, we present a research agenda for furthering our understanding of the wisdom of collectives in organizations.

AB - Over the last 40 years, there has a been a growing trend toward the utilization of teams for accomplishing work in organizations in private, public, and military sectors of the workplace (Kozlowski & Ilgen, 2006; Sundstrom, Mclntyre, Halfhill, & Richards, 2000). Project teams, self-managed work teams, and top-management teams, among others, have become a regular element in the corporate lexicon. Within the military, there has been a parallel trend emphasizing teams and teamwork—recently codified in the formal Army doctrine on leadership (Department of the Army, 2006). Relatively concurrent with this trend has been an increasing focus of organizational research on the development of methods and theories for understanding team effectiveness (e.g.. Campion, Medsker, & Higgs, 1993; Cannon-Bowers, Tannenbaum, Salas, & Volpe, 1995; Cooke, Salas, Kiekel, & Bell, 2004; Fleishman & Zaccaro, 1992; Fowlkes, Lane, Salas, Franz, & Oser, 1994; Ilgen et al, 2005; Marks, Mathieu, & Zaccaro, 2001). This volume is intended to provide an overview of the current state of the art in research on team effectiveness. In doing so, points of potential integration, gaps, and areas in need of further exploration are identified. It is hoped that this integration may provide some inspiration for researchers to explore beyond our self-set boundaries and give impetus to engage in a broader set of challenges with a wider range of multidisciplinary approaches.

AB - The goal of this chapter is to assist the civilian practitioner to understand the importance of military culture and its impact on the service member before considering medication as a treatment option. Each situation requires an understanding of that service member's duty status, job description, and potential for activation into military duty both at home and abroad. As the choice of pharmacologic agent may have a significant impact on the service member's career, the mental health practitioner must choose wisely between psychological interventions only and categories of medication that may be considered nonpsychiatric, or psychiatric depending on the situation at hand. The overriding goal is always to keep our service members safe and, as a result, our civilians, safe. The mental health practitioner must walk a fine line when treating one of these heroes, but they must keep in mind that while treating these brave men and women it is important to help them maintain their courage, self-esteem, and, whenever possible, careers.

AB - Since the American Revolution, citizen soldiers have raised their right hands and taken the oath of allegiance to 'support and defend the Constitution of the United States' (Center of Military History, 2004). Because of this long tradition and pride, the U.S. military takes a hard line when it comes to the use and abuse of chemicals among its members. This chapter provides a brief historical view of substance use disorders in the military, as well as a discussion about the appropriate assessment, discipline, and treatment. The clinician will find information geared toward developing a better understanding of these disorders and preparing appropriate treatment plans for service members. Several aspects of therapy are discussed, as are various issues that may arise when working with these patients.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A viral antigen-capture ELISA was compared to a viral plaque-assay on human cell monolayers for detection and quantification of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus in triturated experimentally infected H. truncatum ticks. In suspensions of ticks exposed as larvae to viraemic mice, the ELISA detected 13% positive as compared to 3% (n = 721) positive by plaque-assay. Adult ticks inoculated with virus and sampled up to 102 days later were 84% positive by ELISA, compared to 36% (n = 273) positive by plaque-assay. The 2 tests detected similar proportions of positive ticks in the 2 weeks immediately after viral inoculation; however, the ELISA was positive in 100% of inoculated adult ticks from 18-102 days post-inoculation, while the plaque-assay was positive in 33% (n = 135) of the same specimens. CCHF viral antigen was detected in 10% (n = 101) of 1st-generation progeny tested as unfed larva pools by ELISA, yet no virus was detected by plaque-assay, indicating that either non-infective viral fragments or very low levels of live virus were detected by ELISA in these tick progeny. As detected by plaque assay, virus-inoculated unfed adult ticks were virtually all infected by day 8 post-inoculation; by day 21 post-inoculation only 33% were detected as positive. A cohort of these ticks were allowed to blood feed from day 21-31 post-inoculation. When assayed after feeding, all female ticks and nearly 50% of male ticks were detected as virus-positive. This indicates that the virus likely persisted in the unfed ticks below the level of detectability of the plaque-assay and increased in the blood-fed ticks up to a detectable level. The ELISA, however, detected 100% of ticks as virus-positive from day 14 post-inoculation throughout the remainder of the study, regardless of feeding status (day 102 post-inoculation). These results indicate that antigen-detection ELISA is more sensitive in detecting CCHF virus in ticks than plaque-assay. Since an infected tick remains antigen-positive by ELISA for possibly the remainder of its life, this assay will be a major improvement in field surveys and vector competency studies of ticks for CCHF virus.

The initial degradation products were found to be the carboxylic acid derivatives formed from the hydrolysis of the amide functional group. The unexpectedly rapid hydrolysis of the amide groups was attributed to both the hydrogen ion catalysis of the concentration aqueous solutions of the unusually acidic bis(pyridinium)aldoximes and general acid hydrolysis by the aldoxime group.

All patients were surveyed by mail regarding behavior and opinions related to influenza and influenza vaccine. Of 125 previously unvaccinated recipients of vaccine-advocacy letters, 39 were vaccinated (31.2%), compared with 24 of 134 control subjects (17.9%). Unvaccinated patients were 1.74 times more likely to be vaccinated after receiving vaccine recommendations and information than were control patients. It was concluded that community pharmacists increased vaccine acceptance by advising patients of their personal risk and describing where to be vaccinated.

A preliminary study (Experiment I) was undertaken to ensure that each stress, when compared with a nonstress condition, independently produced increased SNS activity. To this end, 24 U.S. Army enlisted men (a) solved anagrams, (b) underwent semi-nude exposure to 50°F cold, and (c) watched a comedy movie. SNS activity during (a) and (b) was independently compared with (c). Subsequently, in Experiment II, Ss' responses during a single stress (55°F cold exposure) were contrasted with those recorded during a dual stress condition (anagram solving during 55°F cold exposure). Each stress independently produced increased SNS activity, and the two stressors combined produced more SNS activity than did cold exposure alone.

Squad performance in the competition was graded by independent, experienced observers. Squad morale was calculated from squad members' assessments of their squads. Leader attributes, squad member attributes, and leader-squad interactions were examined in relation to morale and to performance. Mutual esteem among squad members was not found to be associated with squad performance. A significant multiple correlation coefficient was obtained between the attributes and the index of squad morale. Psychologically distant leader attitudes were associated with squad performance, while psychological closeness was associated with squad morale. Variables relating to need gratification of squad members were associated with squad morale. Leaders' Esteem for Squad scores and squads' Esteem for Leader scores were directly related to squad morale, inversely related to squad effectiveness, and directly related to each other. Attributes of the squad leaders and squad members associated with morale were not similar in pattern to those associated with effectiveness. While task accomplishment and maintenance of morale are both considered to be desirable and important features of successful leadership, they were not found to be associated in this study. Furthermore, leader attributes, squad attributes, and leader-squad interactions relating to morale were not similar in pattern to those relating to effectiveness.

The option that it chose was the mini-trial, a voluntary, expedited, and nonjudicial process whereby the top management officials of each party meet to resolve a dispute. The Corps of Engineers adapted the mini-trial to best suit its own organizational needs.

AB - Current research on protein supplementation has focused on the effectiveness of post-workout (PWO) consumption of specific proteins and/or amino acids. Further research shows that pwo protein supplementation can significantly increase skeletal muscle protein synthesis and reduce protein breakdown in muscles, especially if intake is timed properly. Whole foods, protein supplements, and amino acid supplements are the primary sources of pwo protein. Most commercially available protein supplements are produced from sources such as milk, egg albumin, soy, wheat, and collagen. This article examines the wide variety of protein sources and proposes a comprehensive guide for strength and conditioning coaches.

T1 - Dietary Protein Level and Source Differentially Affect Bone Metabolism, Strength, and Intestinal Calcium Transporter Expression during Ad Libitum and Food-Restricted Conditions in Male Rats. JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2014/06//6/1/2014 VL - 144 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 821 EP - 829 SN - 00223166 AB - High-protein (HP) diets may attenuate bone loss during energy restriction. The objective of the current study was to determine whether HP diets suppress bone turnover and improve bone quality in male rats during food restriction and whether dietary protein source affects this relation. Eighty 12-wk-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to consume 1 of 4 study diets under ad libitum (AL) control or restricted conditions [40% food restriction (FR)]: 1) 10% [normal-protein (NP)]milk protein; 2) 32% (HP) milk protein; 3) 10% (NP) soy protein; or 4) 32% (HP) soy protein. After 16 wk, markers of bone turnover, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture, strength, and expression of duodenal calcium channels were assessed. FR increased bone turnover and resulted in lower femoral trabecular bone volume (P < 0.05), higher cortical bone surface (P < 0.001), and reduced femur length (P < 0.01), bending moment (P < 0.05), and moment of inertia (P = 0.001) compared with AL. HP intake reduced bone turnover and tended to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) (P = 0.06) and increase trabecular vBMD (P < 0.05) compared with NP but did not affect bone strength. Compared with milk, soy suppressed PTH (P < 0.05) and increased cortical vBMD (P < 0.05) and calcium content of the femur (P < 0.01) but did not affect strength variables. During AL conditions, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6 was higher for soy than milk (P < 0.05) and HP compared with NP (P < 0.05). These data demonstrate that both HP and soy diets suppress PTH, and HP attenuates bone turnover and increases vBMD regardless of FR, although these differences do not affect bone strength. The effects of HP and soy may be due in part to enhanced intestinal calcium transporter expression.

Despite its broad tropism, chicken cells were reported 30 years ago to resist infection. We found that Lassa virus readily engaged its cell-surface receptor α-dystroglycan in avian cells, but virus entry in susceptible species involved a pH-dependent switch to an intracellular receptor, the lysosome-resident protein LAMP1. Iterative haploid screens revealed that the sialyltransferase ST3GAL4 was required for the interaction of the virus glycoprotein with LAMP1. A single glycosylated residue in LAMP1, present in susceptible species but absent in birds, was essential for interaction with the Lassa virus envelope protein and subsequent infection. The resistance of Lamp1-deficient mice to Lassa virus highlights the relevance of this receptor switch in vivo.

Among these are perceptions of risk, attributions of skill vs. luck, self-discipline, and information seeking in hazardous situations. Over the past two decades, researchers have examined the relationship of LOC to hazardous attitudes, involvement in hazardous events, and other variables related to aviation safety. Research has found aviators to be significantly more internal in LOC than the general population, internality being associated with self-attributions of competency and self-confidence. This research has been cross-sectional and has typically employed small samples of civil aviators. Questions have been raised about psychometric properties of earlier (ipsative) versions of the hazardous attitude scales, and the resulting dependency between the five attitudinal categories. This review examines extant LOC research in aviation psychology, most of which addresses LOC in the context of hazardous attitudes. It examines concepts from attribution theory, (e.g., optimism bias; illusion of unique invulnerability), and argues that these are consistent with the processes underlying the maintenance of LOC and hazardous attitudes. It is recommended that integration of LOC and attribution theory should provide an enhanced explanation of the motivational bases for risk taking and decision making among aviators.

AB - Racial threat scholars have long argued that racial prejudice is motivated by threat. This literature identifies two types of threat: individual threat and group threat; however, actual arguments tend to focus on only one of the two types of threat. Consequently, there has been no assessment of whether both threats are simultaneously associated with prejudice. This paper uses data from the 1994 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine the relationship between perceptions of individual threat, perceptions of group threat, and opposition to policies aiding blacks. Results from multinomial logits demonstrate that both threats are associated with opposition to race-equalizing policies, suggesting that single-threat theories should be reevaluated and that studies incorporating racial threat should include both types of threat.

The Interservice Physician Assistant Program (IPAP) located at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, provides the education for the majority of all Army, Navy, and Air Force physician assistants. As such, ensuring that program maintains premier performance to support combat and peacetime healthcare is vital to the interests of the Department of Defense. To support this mission, an analysis of structure, process, and outcomes for the program was conducted using survey data and Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE) scores. Methods. Methods employed included Chi Square analysis, regression, small multiple comparisons. Graphical and statistical results provided evidence of program strengths and weaknesses.Results. Analysis of survey data (33% response rate) revealed that students who had graduated four or more years ago were more likely to self-report that IPAP prepared them for clinical work (Chi-Square = 8.16, p<.006, Odds Ratio: 3.1:1). Students reported high-confidence in the disciplines of EENT, orthopedics, and dermatology as well as low-confidence in hematology and dentistry. Analysis of performance deltas provided statistically significant and practically relevant results (F(16,48) = 17.59, p < .001, adj. R2 = .806). IPAP student first-time test-takers routinely performed above the national average; however, performance in recent years has declined. Areas of strength identified in the analysis included EENT and dermatology confirming student self-assessments. One area of weakness identified was psychiatry and behavioral health.Conclusions. Based on the analysis of structure, process, and outcome, IPAP leadership is evaluating specific performance improvement initiatives to maintain program strengths and address weaknesses.

Subject Subsets: Botanical Pesticides; Veterinary Science; Horticultural Science; Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A series of 22 isoquinoline alkaloids and related synthetic analogues were isolated (from Narcissus incomparabilis, Pancratium littorale and Zephyranthes candida) or synthesized and subsequently evaluated in cell culture against the RNA-containing flaviviruses (Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever, and dengue viruses), bunyaviruses (Punta Toro, sandfly fever, and Rift Valley fever viruses), alphavirus (Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus), lentivirus (human immunodeficiency virus-type 1) and the DNA-containing vaccinia virus. Narciclasine, lycoricidine, pancratistatin, 7-deoxypancratistatin, isonarciclasine, cis-dihydronarciclasine, trans-dihydronarciclasine and three 7-deoxy analogues, 2 lycorines, and pretazettine exhibited consistent in vitro activity against all 3 flaviviruses and against 2 bunyaviruses, Punta Toro and Rift Valley fever virus. Activity against sandfly fever virus was only observed with 7-deoxy analogues. In most cases, however, selectivity of the active compounds was low, with toxicity in uninfected cells (TC50) occurring at concentrations within 10-fold that of the viral inhibitory concentrations (IC50). No activity was observed against human immunodeficiency virus-type 1, Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus, or vaccinia viruses. Pancratistatin and 7-deoxypancratistatin were evaluated in 2 murine Japanese encephalitis mouse models (differing in viral dose challenge). Prophylactic administration of pancratistatin (4 and 6 mg/kg/day for 7 days, day -1 to +5) increased survival of Japanese-encephalitis-virus-infected mice (low LD50 viral challenge) to 100 and 90%, respectively. In the same model, prophylactic administration of 7-deoxypancratistatin (40 mg/kg/day for 7 days, day -1 to +5) increased survival of Japanese-encephalitis-virus-infected mice to 80%. In a second variant (high LD50 viral challenge), administration of pancratistatin at 6 mg/kg/day (i.p., for 9 days, day -1 to +7) resulted in a 50% survival rate. In all cases, there was no survival in the diluent-treated control mice. Thus, pancratistatin and 7-deoxypancratistatin demonstrated activity in mice infected with Japanese encephalitis virus, but only at near toxic concentrations.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A DNA fragment located on the 3′ side of the C. burnetii htpAB operon was determined by Southern blotting to exist in approximately 19 copies in the Nine Mile I genome. The DNA sequences of this htpAB-associated repetitive element and 2 other independent copies were analysed to determine the size and nature of the element. The 3 copies of the element were 1450, 1452 and 1458 bp long, with <2% divergence among the 3 sequences. Several features characteristic of bacterial insertion sequences were discovered. These included a single significant open reading frame (ORF) that would encode a 367-amino-acid polypeptide which was predicted to be highly basic, to have a DNA-binding helix-turn-helix motif, to have a leucine zipper motif, and to have homology to polypeptides found in several other bacterial insertion sequences. Identical 7-bp inverted repeats were found at the ends of all 3 copies of the element. However, duplications generated by many bacterial mobile elements in the recipient DNA during insertion events did not flank the inverted repeats of any of the 3 C. burnetii elements examined. A second pair of inverted repeats that flanked the ORF was also found in all 3 copies of the element. Most of the divergence among the 3 copies of the element occurred in the region between the 2 inverted repeat sequences in the 3′ end of the element. Despite the sequence changes, all 3 copies of the element have retained significant dyad symmetry in this region.

Individuals were grouped by year of birth into 5-year cohorts, spanning 1911 to 1970. Rates of secular change were calculated by regressing age-adjusted dimensions against birth year cohort. Results showed that almost all dimensions sustained significant linear trends, the few exceptions occurring in Asian/Pacific Islanders. The greatest rates of change occurred in dimensions related to soft tissues rather than skeletal dimensions. This pattern is consistent with recent American cultural emphasis on health and physical fitness. The causes for the observed trends, insofar as they have been identified, are related to cultural processes. This suggests that biological forces play a diminished role in shaping the patterns of secular change. Therefore, it may be more appropriate to study secular change in groups that are culturally, rather than biologically, defined.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Gas-liquid chromatography was used to estimate mannitol and lactulose simultaneously in the urine of burn patients. To avoid the multiple peaks for the anomeric forms of the reducing sugars during precolumn trimethylsilyl derivatization, sugars were converted to oximes before the silylation step. The method gave good recoveries of mannitol and lactulose from burn patients' urine samples. Unlike the enzymic methods, it eliminates the effect of interfering compounds and allows for the simultaneous estimation of both sugars in urine samples.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - A chloroform:methanol residue (CMR) Coxiella burnetii vaccine was developed and its effectiveness investigated in mice, guinea pigs, sheep and goats. The CMR vaccine was shown to be nonpathogenic but immunogenic in mice. In guinea pigs 2µg of either CMR or whole cell (WC) vaccine was a sufficient priming dose a total of 20µg gave complete protection. The PD50 values for WC and CMR vaccines were 0.3 and 1.2µg when given as a single dose and 0.83 and 0.72 µg when given as two doses. The CMR vaccine induced fewer adverse reactions. Vaccination before challenge prevented clinical disease, but the bacteria were not completely eliminated from the body. Before vaccination 89 (27.9%) of 319 sheep were seropositive by ELISA to 1 of 3 C. burnetii antigens and 79 (17.7%) of 446 goats were seropositive to 1 or more of the 3 antigens. After vaccination, all seronegative animals seroconverted and animals seropositive to 1 or more antigens developed antibodies to the other antigen(s). No local reaction was observed to s.c. injection.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - VEE vaccines available for human use have several important drawbacks, including reactogenicity, poor immunogenicity, and potential teratogenicity. A recombinant vaccinia virus (designated TC-5A) encoding the structural protein region of VEE virus was used to immunize cynomolgus monkeys. The primary humoral immune response was similar in magnitude and chronology to that of monkeys given 2 doses of formalin-inactivated C-84 VEE vaccine, but inferior to that of animals given live attenuated TC-83 VEE vaccine. Monkeys immunized with TC-83 vaccine were solidly protected against challenge with a virulent VEE virus by the subcutaneous (s.c.), intranasal (i.n.), and intracerebral (i.c.) routes. Protection by recombinant TC-5A and inactivated C-84 vaccines was less complete, but viraemia titres were delayed and of lower magnitude in all monkeys. Complete protection (absent viraemia and leukopenia, no antibody boost to challenge) was observed in 33% and 40% of TC-5A- and C-84-immunized monkeys, respectively. Protection was related to the titre of neutralizing antibodies in prechallenge sera. TC-83 vaccine prevented neuroinvasion after i.n. challenge, as determined by absent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) antibody. Monkeys immunized with TC-5A and C-84 failed to develop inflammatory lesions in brain tissues after i.n. challenge with virulent virus, whereas vaccinia controls developed histopathological changes; individual monkeys with complete protection (as defined above) failed to develop a CSF antibody response, indicating that they were protected against neuroinvasion. TC-5A-immune monkeys developed clinical encephalitis after i.c. challenge, but recovered without sequelae, whereas vaccinia-immune controls died. Vaccinia virus as a live vector of VEE protective antigens offers a potentially useful alternative to other vaccines. However, further studies are required to improve antigen expression by the vaccinia-VEE recombinant or to boost antibody responses by repeated vaccination.

Ruppel N2 - A hospital pharmacy's program to minimize the waste of intravenous (IV) drug solutions is outlined and the results of audits to determine the effectiveness of the program are presented. The measures taken to reduce wastage included compounding of admixtures for individual shifts, recycling solutions, removing unused solutions from nursing units, using a standardized administration schedule and automatic stop orders, standardizing total parenteral nutrition solutions, using commercially prepared products, verifying telephone orders, and preparing labile products just before use. After institution of these measures, 6 audits carried out over a 3 yr period showed an average wastage rate of 3.27%, which is well below other published values. Three hospital units were found to contribute to most IV wastage, and poor communication between the pharmacy and nursing units also contributed to sterile product waste. The steps taken to further reduce wastage and improve communications are also described.

N2 - Butyrylcholinesterase [cholinesterase] (ChE) was examined as an in vivo exogenous scavenger for highly toxic organophosphorus (OP) poisons. Protection studies with equine ChE were carried out in rhesus monkeys trained to perform a Serial Probe Recognition task. The pharmacokinetics of equine ChE administered i.v. in rhesus monkeys revealed an elimination T1/2 of ~620 h. Animals given 503 nmol of ChE i.v. and then challenged with 220 to 260 nmol of soman (2 LD50; a lethal dose in untreated animals) all survived with no clinical signs of OP poisoning. Serial Probe Recognition performance was depressed after enzyme administration and at 1 h postsoman. However, all monkeys performed the task at base-line levels at 8 h after soman and throughout the remainder of the experimental period. 2 different monkeys each were given doses of sarin, 183 nmol/dose (1 LD50) after 460 nmol of ChE. No signs were observed. A 3rd group of monkeys given 263 or 340 nmol (3 and 4 LD50, respectively) of soman after 460 nmol of ChE required 1 mg/kg of atropine i.v. 10 min postsoman, but recovered completely within 24 h. The results indicate that ChE has the required properties to function as a biological scavenger to protect against the pharmacological and behavioural toxicity of OP poisons.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - This study examined the thermoregulatory and hydrational status of men during sustained activity in a hot-dry environment (37°C, 20% relative humidity) while they consumed only a nutrient solution (nutrient) or coloured, flavoured water (control). 11 heat acclimatized young men attempted 24-h sustained activity experiments. These experiments consisted of alternating 45-min bouts of treadmill walking (410 W, about 30% VO2max) and rest (including sedentary activity). Data recorded over a 13 h period were analysed (after 13 h, subjects began to discontinue testing). No significant differences between trials were observed for metabolic rate, fluid intake, skin or rectal temperature, sweating rate, plasma volume (as indicated by haemoglobin concentration) or plasma glucose concentrations. By the 18th h, plasma osmolality was higher and by the 11th h plasma free fatty acids were lower during the nutrient trial compared with the control. In separate experiments with 9 different men, the gastric emptying rates of the nutrient solution and water were compared during exercise (55% VO2max) in hot conditions (35°C, 20% relative humidity). The gastric emptying rates of the nutrient solution and water were similar (about 20 ml/min). These data indicate that during 13 h of sustained activity in a hot environment, the nutrient solution and water provided similar thermoregulatory and hydrational benefits.

SEB binds directly to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells and T-cell receptors on T cells triggering T-cell proliferation and mediator release. SEB is a biothreat agent because of its ability to potently activate cells of the immune system. In vivo animal models are critical in the development of therapeutics against SEB-induced shock. Our results show that three different mouse strains with different susceptibility to SEB can be used to study SEB-induced shock without the use of potentiating agents. The hypothermic response, weight loss, and induction of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 2 (IL-2), and IL-6 correlated with mortality in all three models.

It has also been used experimentally as a pretreatment and/or treatment adjunct to mitigate the toxic sequelae of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agent intoxication. SCP has been reported to increase survival, prevent or terminate seizures, and reduce morbidity from nerve agent intoxication in a number of animal models. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine dose, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pretreatment, and oxime selection on the efficacy of SCP as an adjunctive treatment to enhance survival following lethal nerve agent exposure in guinea pigs. The results indicate that the use of an effective oxime and/or PB pretreatment was a critical factor in determining the efficacy of SCE SCP can also reduce the dose of atropine required for survival against lethal nerve agent intoxication.

The purpose of this review was to determine whether there is evidence-based justification to recommend purchase and promotion of probiotic-containing food in military dining facilities (DFACs). Peer-reviewed literature was searched to identity well-conducted systematic reviews and original research related to the efficacy of probiotics in preventing and/or treating acute infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis, dental health issues, and female urogenital conditions. Probiotics may be useful for preventing and/or treating military-relevant health conditions. However, the available scientific evidence is not sufficient to warrant widespread procurement and promotion of probiotic-containing food items in military DFACs. Health care practitioners considering recommending probiotics should understand that health effects and clinical outcomes discussed herein are specific to the probiotic strain, dose, and method of delivery studied in the articles cited.

This report provides preliminary reliability, validity, and normative data on a modified version of the instrument designed to facilitate data entry with optical scanners, the Evaluation of Risks-Bubble Sheet version (EVAR-B). Methods: 2,015 U.S. Army soldiers completed the EVAR-B and a survey assessing risk-related behaviors 3 months after returning home from combat deployment in Iraq. Results: EVAR-B demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and reliability and correlated significantly with independent measures of self reported risk-taking behavior, including alcohol use and aggressive behavior, in the weeks preceding the survey. Tentative cut-offs significantly differentiated heavy drinkers, dangerous drivers, and soldiers reporting recent aggressive outbursts. Normative data are provided for comparison with future studies. Conclusions: The EVAR-B is a reliable and valid measure of risk-taking propensity, which provides enhanced flexibility for administration and scoring in large surveys and field environments.

Methods: The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database was queried for ICD-9 codes 726.32 (lateral epicondylitis) and 726.33 (medial epicondylitis) for the years 1998-2006. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rates (IR) and rate ratios (RR) among demographic groups. Results: The IRs for lateral and medial epicondylitis were 2.98 and 0.81 per 1,000 person-years. For lateral epicondylitis, women had a higher incidence (RR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.19-1.26). In both groups, analysis by age showed higher incidence in the ≥40-year-old group. White compared with black race was a risk factor for both lateral (RR = 1.68, 95% CI, 1.63-1.74) and medial epicondylitis (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.17). Conclusions: Female gender was a risk factor for lateral but not medial epicondylitis. Age greater than 40 and white race were significant risk factors for both conditions.

JO - Environmental Health Perspectives JF - Environmental Health Perspectives Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 119 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 6 EP - 10 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00916765 AB - Background: This commentary evolved from a workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences titled "Superfund Contaminants: The Next Generation" held in Tucson, Arizona, in August 2009. All the authors were workshop participants. Objectives: Our aim was to initiate a dynamic, adaptable process for identifying contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) that are likely to be found in future hazardous waste sites, and to identify the gaps in primary research that cause uncertainty in determining future hazardous waste site contaminants. Discussion: Superfund-relevant CECs can be characterized by specific attributes: They are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, occur in large quantities, and have localized accumulation with a likelihood of exposure. Although still under development and incompletely applied, methods to quantify these attributes can assist in winnowing down the list of candidates from the universe of potential CECs. Unfortunately, significant research gaps exist in detection and quantification, environmental fate and transport, health and risk assessment, and site exploration and remediation for CECs. Addressing these gaps is prerequisite to a preventive approach to generating and managing hazardous waste sites. Conclusions: A need exists for a carefully considered and orchestrated expansion of programmatic and research efforts to identify, evaluate, and manage CECs of hazardous waste site relevance, including developing an evolving list of priority CECs, intensifying the identification and monitoring of likely sites of present or future accumulation of CECs, and implementing efforts that focus on a holistic approach to prevention.

Almost daily we read or hear about athletes displaying poor character. Most research shows that as the level of sport competition increases, the level of character decreases. However, participating in sports, at any level, can and should build positive character. An insightful three-part exchange between Gough, Stoll, and Holowchak, discussed the merits and feasibility of measuring character through sport. Gough and Holowchak argued that the construct of "character" is too elusive and that empirical attempts to measure it lack validity. Stoll disagreed with Gough and Holowchak and developed an instrument that measures character in sport. We agree with Stoll for two reasons: 1. The problem of character in sport is too big to be ignored. 2. Attempts to measure character contribute to efforts to address the character in sport problem. These two reasons resulted in a research effort to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure the character of individuals participating in sport. The research resulted in the validation of a user friendly, less time consuming, psychometrically sound instrument that measures character in a sport setting.

The 2005 Medicare prosthetic device component prices were applied to current prosthetic and assistive-device use obtained from a national survey of 581 veterans and servicemembers with major traumatic amputations. Projections were made for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and lifetime costs based on eight Markov models. Average 5-year projected costs for prosthetic and assistive-device replacement for the Vietnam group are lower than for the OIF/OEF cohort due in part to use of fewer and less technologically advanced prosthetic devices and higher frequency of prosthetic abandonment. By limb-loss level, for the Vietnam group and OIF/OEF cohort, 5-year projected unilateral upper limb average costs are $31,129 and $117,440, unilateral lower limb costs are $82,251 and $228,665, and multiple limb costs are $130,890 and $453,696, respectively. These figures provide the VA with a funding estimate for technologically advanced prosthetic and assistive devices within the framework of ongoing rehabilitation for veterans with traumatic limb loss from the Vietnam and OIF/OEF conflicts.

T1 - Unilateral lower-limb loss: Prosthetic device use and functional outcomes in servicemembers from Vietnam war and OIF/OEF conflicts. JO - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development JF - Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development Y1 - 2010/07// VL - 47 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 317 EP - 331 PB - VA Prosthetics Research & Development Center SN - 07487711 AB - Rehabilitation goals following major combat-associated limb loss in World War II and the Vietnam war focused on treatment of the injury and a return to civilian life. The goal for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) servicemembers is to restore function to the greatest possible degree and, if they desire, return them to Active Duty, by providing them with extensive rehabilitation services and a variety of prosthetic devices. Our study determines the usefulness of these diverse types of prosthetic devices for restoring functional capability and documents prosthesis use and satisfaction. We compare servicemembers and veterans with major combat-associated unilateral lower-limb loss: 178 from the Vietnam war and 172 from OIF/OEF conflicts. Of survey participants with unilateral lower-limb loss, 84% of the Vietnam group and 94% of the OIF/OEF group currently use at least one prosthetic device. Reasons for rejection varied by type of device, but common reasons were pain, prosthesis too heavy, and poor fit. Abandonment is infrequent (11% Vietnam group, 4% OIF/OEF group). Future efforts should aim to improve prosthetic-device design, decrease pain, and improve quality of life for these veterans and servicemembers.

Through a national survey, we enrolled 47 participants from the Vietnam conflict and 50 from Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with combat-associated major unilateral upper-limb loss. Upper-limb prosthetic devices were used by 70% of the Vietnam group and 76% of the OIF/OEF group. Mechanical/body-powered upper-limb devices were favored by the Vietnam group, while a combination of myoelectric/hybrid and mechanical/ body-powered devices were favored by the OIF/OEF group. Upper-limb devices were completely abandoned in 30% of the Vietnam and 22% of the OIF/OEF groups. Abandonment was more frequent for transhumeral and more proximal levels (42% of Vietnam and 40% of OIF/OEF) than more distal limb-loss levels. Upper-limb prostheses were rejected because of dissatisfaction with the device by significantly fewer (23%) members of the Vietnam group than the OIF/OEF group (45%) (p < 0.001). Most common reasons for rejection included pain, poor comfort, and lack of functionality. A significant paradigm shift has been noted in the OIF/OEF group, who use a greater number and diversity of upper-limb prostheses than the Vietnam group.

Webster N2 - The pharmacokinetics of diazepam in monkeys following an intramuscular injection of 100 mcg/kg were studied in an attempt to extrapolate the data to determine an effective dose in humans to prevent nerve agent induced convulsions. Serum concentration-time data over 0-240 min for total diazepam were determined in each individual animal; pharmacokinetics were best described by a one compartment open model with first order absorption and elimination. The average maximum serum concentration, 50 ng/ml, was reached in 29 min. Volume of distribution was 1.5 L/kg and systemic clearance 19.4 ml/min/kg assuming 100% bioavailability. The percentage of diazepam unbound to proteins was 4.6% and, therefore, the maximum concentration of free diazepam was 2.3 ng/ml. These results, when compared with human pharmacokinetic studies, allow a means of extrapolating effective monkey anticonvulsant doses to humans on a pharmacokinetic basis.

The mean time to reach maximum concentration of atropine was delayed from 2.9 min to 9.3 min when given with diazepam. However, at the time when a single injection of atropine reached its maximum serum concentration, 92% of the concentration was reached in the presence of diazepam. No difference was detected in the rate or extent of diazepam absorption during coadministration with atropine. It was concluded that absorption of atropine and diazepam was not significantly affected by concomitant administration.

Ruppel N2 - A study of the side effects of 30 mg of oral pyridostigmine bromide given every 8 h for one to 7 days while under the threat of nerve gas attack, was conducted among 41,650 soldiers who participated in Operation Desert Storm. About half of the population noted physiologic changes that were not incapacitating, such as increased flatus, abdominal cramps, soft stools, and urinary urgency. Approximately one percent of the soldiers believed they had effects that warranted medical attention, but fewer than 0.1% had effects sufficient to discontinue the drug. Nonincapacitating symptoms often occurred; however, military mission performance was not impaired. It was concluded that, while under the threat of nerve agent attack, pyridostigmine can be administered to virtually all soldiers.

Ruppel N2 - A 6 month time study of 3 pharmacy inventory control methods was conducted in a 962 bed hospital; one was the original manual stock record card method, the second was a perpetual inventory method using order entry of customer requisitions through a computerized central processing and delivery (CPD) system shared with the hospital's medical material division, and the third used bar code entry of inventory into the CPD. Both CPD methods demonstrated a time savings over the manual system. Reduced personnel requirements for inventory allowed development of a hazardous waste disposal plan and institution of an expiration date database. Additionally, reports generated by the CPD system facilitated intensive management of exceptions to the standard procedures. Disadvantages of the CPD system included time to create database, which required more than 400 h, and a lack of ad hoc report-generating capabilities. Entry errors resulted in several inventory discrepancies in the CPD. It was concluded that bar code technology facilitated the implementation of the CPD system and use of this system demonstrated significant time savings compared with a manual stock record card system.

This poster summarizes these roles. Clinical Pharmacy Services include gathering data (e.g., immunization histories; Casto&Chan, 1990), preventing immunologic drug interactions, and screening patients for immunization needs. Occurrence screening identifies needs at admission, discharge, and other events (Huff, 1982; Casto, 1987). Diagnosis screening follows diagnosis of hemophilia, cancer, and other disorders. Procedure screening occurs with splenectomy, certain surgeries, or prescription of certain drugs (Grabenstein&Hayton, 1990). Examples of periodic mass screening include influenza programs (Grabenstein, 1990) and outbreak control. Sound formulary management and pharmaceutical care involves substituting combined diphtheria-tetanus toxoids for tetanus toxoid. Similarly, tuberculin PPD, trivalent MMR vaccine, and other products should be favored. Rational decisions on substitutions and products of choice require consideration of relevant pharmaceutics, pharmacology, and epidemiology. Among administrative measures, pharmacy involvement on hospital committees can improve immunization delivery, through encouraging vaccine profiles and inpatient and outpatient chart entries. Pharmacists can influence sound policies on hepatitis B, rabies, and wound prophylaxis and pertussis contraindications. Drug information centers need special immunologic references. Newsletters and seminars can explain risk of preventable infections to pharmacy staff, health personnel, and patients. Immunization screening can be incorporated into diabetic, asthmatic, and heart-disease clinics. As a public relations effort, pharmacists can lead local observations of October's National Adult Immunization Week. Pharmacists have ample opportunities to advance the public health through immunization advocacy. To supplement this poster, a bibliography and sample screening forms will be distributed.

The results demonstrated that the half-time of absorption of the 2 oximes are nearly the same while the maximum plasma concentration of HI-6 was significantly higher than that for pralidoxime. Musculoirritancy was assessed on the basis of quantitative histological examinations of the injection sites and by the measurement of serum creatinine phosphokinase. Comparison of the scores from the histological sections demonstrate no difference between the 2 oximes. Serum creatinine phosphokinase values were elevated following injections of HI-6, but were not consistently elevated following the pralidoxime injections.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - The multiple-dose kinetics of a daily dose of proguanil (200 mg) coadministered with dapsone (10 mg) was investigated in 6 healthy adult male volunteers, in Australia. The kinetics of dapsone (DDS), monoacetyldapsone (MADDS), proguanil (PROG) and its active metabolite cycloguanil (CYCLO) were derived from plasma drug concentrations after the last maintenance dose. The following kinetic parameters (mean values) were estimated for DDS and PROG, respectively: maximum concentration (Cmax) = 285 and 151 ng/ml, minimum concentration (Cmin) = 125 and 31 ng/ml, elimination half-life (t1/2) = 23.3 and 18.3 h, plasma clearance (Cl) = 0.032 and 1.27 l/h/kg and apparent volume of distribution (Vss) = 1.05 and 33.32 l/kg. The Cmax, Cmin and t1/2 of CYCLO were 56 ng/ml, 17 ng/ml and 15.0 h, respectively. The antimalarial activity of the proguanil/dapsone combination was assessed in vitro by measuring the inhibition of re-invasion of 2 Plasmodium falciparum isolates grown in the presence of volunteers' sera. Both FC-27 [chloroquine (CQ)- and pyrimethamine (PYR)-sensitive] and K1 (CQ- and PYR-resistant) isolates were completely inhibited by the drug combination at steady-state concentrations. These findings suggest that the drug regimen may be effective against drug-resistant falciparum malaria.

Subject Subsets: Animal Nutrition; Medical & Veterinary Mycology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Penetration of 50 µCi of [³H]T-2 toxin through abraded and intact skin was studied in anaesthetized rats sacrificed at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min post-exposure. The greatest penetration was through abraded skin (49±7%) at 90 min post-exposure, whereas penetration through intact skin (2±3%) was substantially less (P<0.0015). Methods to decontaminate [³H]T-2 toxin from abraded skin over time were studied. Treatment of [³H]T-2 toxin-contaminated abrasions by applying Trau+Medic dressing, applying Charcoal Cloth-Anti-bacterial Field Dressing (Charcoal Dressing) or swabbing with povidone-iodine 30 min post-exposure removed 17-32% of the applied [³H]T-2 toxin. Immediate blotting with immediate removal of the dressings absorbed 103±4% (Trau+Medic) and 87±4% (Charcoal Dressing) of the applied [³H]T-2 toxin, while immediate blotting and leaving the dressing in place for 30 min removed 90±5% (Trau+Medic) and 76±3% (Charcoal Dressing). It is concluded that immediate blotting with either dressing followed by immediate removal before application of a clean dressing is an effective method for decontaminating [³H]T-2 toxin from abrasions.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition; Public Health N2 - A new plating medium (lithium chloride-ceftazidime agar (LCA)) was developed to recover food-borne L. monocytogenes quantitatively in the form of large colonies while inhibiting most other food-borne microorganisms. This medium included brain heart infusion agar as the nutritive agar base and a combination of selective agents (LiCl, glycine anhydride and ceftazidime). Comparison of LCA and lithium chloride-phenylethanol-moxalactam agar (LPM) indicated that both were equally effective for the enumeration of the cold-tolerant pathogen in artificially and naturally contaminated foods. However, LCA was more effective than LPM in the recovery of sublethally heat-injured cells. Moreover, Listeria colonies on LCA exhibited a more distinct bluish hue than those on LPM when viewed by the Henry oblique transillumination technique.<new para>ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:<new para>A brain-heart infusion agar with lithium chloride, glycine anhydride and ceftazidime (LCA) was compared with a lithium chloride phenylethanol-moxalactam agar (LPM) for the quantitative and selective isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from foods.Both media proved satisfactory for this purpose, LCA was, however, more effective for the recovery of heat-injured Listeria and the colonies had a more distinct bluish hue when viewing by Henry oblique transillumination.

It would be important in the prevention of injury as well as the strategy of physical fitness training to know whether the connective tissue is modified in response to athletic stress or training. The potential modification investigated was variability in the concentration of hydroxyproline, a post-translationally modified amino acid found principally in collagen protein. A correlation was sought between this variability and the leg strength parameters torque (expressed as ft-lbs), torque/body weight and work (expressed as ft-lbs). In a preliminary study of five subjects, no correlation was found between hydroxyproline concentration of the patellar tendon and any of the leg strength parameters. These results suggest that this modification of the collagen in connective tissue does not occur in response to athletic stress or training, but rather, for the small number of subjects investigated, appeared to be relatively constant across a range of leg strengths.

Our ability to understand the significance of these processes over time requires an accurate conceptual model that incorporates the various mechanisms of coupled chemical and physical processes. Adsorption, desorption, ion exchange, precipitation, dissolution, growth, solid solution, redox, microbial activity, and other processes are often incorporated into reactive transport models for the prediction of contaminant fate and transport. U.S. federal agencies use such models to evaluate contaminant transport and provide guidance to decision makers and regulators for treatment issues. We provide summaries of selected research projects and programs to demonstrate the level of activity in various applications and to present examples of recent advances in subsurface reactive transport modeling.

Food components of different electrical conductivities heat at different rates. While equal electrical conductivities of all phases are desirable, real food products may behave differently. In the present study involving chicken chow mein consisting of a sauce and different solid components, celery, water chestnuts, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and chicken, it was observed that the sauce was more conductive than all solid components over the measured temperature range. To improve heating uniformity, a blanching method was developed to increase the ionic content of the solid components. By blanching different solid components in a highly conductive sauce at 100 °C for different lengths of time, it was possible to adjust their conductivity to that of the sauce. Chicken chow mein samples containing blanched particulates were compared with untreated samples with respect to ohmic heating uniformity at 60 Hz up to 140 °C. All components of the treated product containing blanched solids heated more uniformly than untreated product. In sensory tests, 3 different formulations of the blanched product showed good quality attributes and overall acceptability, demonstrating the practical feasibility of the blanching protocol.

Over the past decade, attrition rates in the Army have averaged between 25% and 30% during first-term periods of enlistment. Historically, the services have relied on education credentials, with special emphasis on possessing a high school diploma, as a primary indicator of completion rates after enlistment and as a proxy for the ability to adapt to a military lifestyle. A primary purpose of this paper is to describe Army research to develop new indicators of adaptability to augment the current system based on education credentials. This work has focused primarily on noncognitive, personality measures and how such measures can be combined with other existing measures for attrition screening during enlistment processing. These advances represent a new paradigm that relies less heavily on education credentials and can provide a more comprehensive and inclusive approach. This new approach incorporates advances in testing methodology to make it more viable for use in large-scale, high-stakes testing applications.

As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one's term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one's term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. This effect was significant throughout a 3-year period. This work adds to our understanding of attrition by highlighting the role of confidence and ambivalence. Implications for strategies to reduce attrition are discussed.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators to provide protection against infectious airborne viruses in various workplace settings. The filtration efficiency of selected NIOSH-approved particulate N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and filter cartridges was investigated against the viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage, aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Tests were performed under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes of 85 and 135 L/min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 L/min). The mean penetrations of viable MS2 through the N95 and P100 FFRs/cartridges were typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions. All N95 and P100 FFR and cartridge models assessed in this study, therefore, met or exceeded their respective efficiency ratings of 95 and 99.97% against the viable MS2 test aerosol, even under the very high flow conditions. These NIOSH-approved FFRs and particulate respirators equipped with these cartridges can be anticipated to achieve expected levels of protection (consistent with their assigned protection factor) against airborne viral agents, provided that they are properly selected, fitted, worn, and maintained.

Researchers worked with personnel from the town of Christiansburg to gather inventory data and past work history on all of the pavements within the town’s network. First, the network was defined by importing existing GIS data into commercially available PMS software. The expected pavement performance was then modeled using age data along with surface condition information gathered during a survey of the network. The surface condition, age, and performance data were all combined to develop several maintenance and rehabilitation scenarios for the pavement network. The results indicated that implementing the PMS provided a framework that significantly enhanced the ability of the municipality’s engineers to determine the optimal work types and work scenarios for long-term budgeting and planning.

Brooks N2 - A randomized clinical trial to investigate the pharmacokinetics of mefloquine in patients with falciparum malaria was conducted in 11 patients and 5 volunteers who received a single oral dose of 1500 mg of mefloquine hydrochloride in tablet form and 16 patients and 5 volunteers who received a single dose of 750 mg of mefloquine hydrochloride. Efficacy was 82% for 1500 mg and 63% for 750 mg doses. In cured patients taking 750 mg of mefloquine, peak plasma drug concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve were significantly greater than in the patients for whom treatment failed. Compared with noninfected volunteers, clinically ill patients displayed a delayed time to reach peak concentration and significantly higher mefloquine plasma levels in the first 2 days after administration of either dose. Mefloquine AUC was similar in patients with malaria and healthy volunteers. Mefloquine volume of distribution or clearance (or both) was reduced during the acute phase of illness due to increased plasma levels in temporal relationship with clinical illness.

Maximum plasma concentrations, half-life, plasma clearance and apparent volume of distribution are reported for both drugs, and the mean half-life of the metabolite is given. The drug combination was assessed in vitro by measuring inhibition of re-invasion of 2 \IT/Plasmodium falciparum\OK/ isolates grown in the presence of volunteers' sera. The in vitro findings suggest that Maloprim may not be effective against strains of \IT/P. falciparum\OK/ with a high level of resistance to pyrimethamine.

Ruppel N2 - The use of a hospital pharmacy's computer database to identify candidates for influenza and pneumococcal vaccines by analyzing patients' use of prescribed drugs indicating that the patient was at risk of infection is reported. Medical records of patients identified in the database were screened to verify the indications for vaccination, and those at risk were sent letters to inform them of their need for vaccination. Of the 109 patients for whom records were screened, 80 had valid indications for immunization. Of these 80 patients, 48 accepted the invitation to be immunized. The 80 patients in need of vaccination received 151 individual prescriptions; 77 doses were administered to 48 patients. Screening by pulmonary, cardiovascular, and hypoglycemic drug use identified the largest numbers of patients in need of vaccination, as did age over 64 yr. Patients with more than one risk factor for infection were significantly more likely to accept vaccination than patients with only one risk factor.

Although both I and II reduced the amount of marker release and cell detachment from microcystine-LR-treated wells, II provided significantly greater protection than I at one-tenth the concentration. Furthermore, I and II treatment prevented morphological deformations and detachment of cells.

Walumbwa (The Leadership Quarterly, 2011[Apr], Vol 22[2], 259-270). In the original article, inaccuracies listed on page 266. The CFI, NFI, IFI, and RMSEA of .96, .94, .96, and .08, respectively, are reported incorrectly. The correct values are as follows: CFI=.42, NFI=.43, IFI=.45 and RMSEA=.47. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2011-09155-003[/rid]). Issues regarding workplace spirituality have received increased attention in the organizational sciences. The implications of workplace spirituality for leadership theory, research, and practice make this a fast growing area of new research and inquiry by scholars. The purpose of this research was to test a dynamic relationship between spiritual leadership and spiritual well-being (i.e., a sense of calling and membership), and key organizational outcomes in a sample of emerging military leaders. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), results revealed a positive and significant relationship between spiritual leadership and several unit-level outcomes, including organizational commitment and four measures of performance. These relationships were explained or mediated by spiritual well-being. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Design: Cross-sectional clinical survey. Setting: Outpatient Clinic, United States Military Academy, West Point, NY. Participants: We randomly selected 101 out of 539 cadet-athletes presenting for a preparticipation examination. Two primary care sports medicine fellows and a cardiologist examined the cadets. Interventions: After obtaining informed consent from all participants, all 3 physicians separately evaluated all 101 cadets. The physicians recorded their clinical findings and whether they thought further cardiovascular evaluation (echocardiography) was indicated. Main Outcome Measures: Rate of referral for further cardiovascular evaluation, clinical agreement between sports medicine fellows, and clinical agreement between sports medicine fellows and the cardiologist. Results: Each fellow referred 6 of the 101 evaluated cadets (5.9 %). The cardiologist referred none. Although each fellow referred 6 cadets, only 1 cadet was referred by both. The [kappa] statistic for clinical agreement between fellows is 0.114 (95 % CI, -0.182 to 0.411). There was no clinical agreement between the fellows and the cardiologist. Conclusions: This pilot study reveals a low level of agreement between physicians regarding which athletes with an abnormal examination deserved further testing. It challenges the standard of care and questions whether there is a need for improved technologies or improved training in cardiovascular clinical assessment.

As an initial step in meeting these requirements, this article reviews and compares the likely sources and severity of occupational stress across several broad types of military environments--i.e., garrison versus deployed and combat versus noncombat--and presents an integrating framework for systematically considering military occupational stress in these subenvironments. Discussion focuses on the contributions the framework makes and on the kinds of military stress research needed in the future.

N2 - This is the third and enlarged edition of a work of which the previous editions had a more or less restricted circulation. The main part comprises descriptions of the adults, and larvae where known, of the mosquitos of Japan and Korea, with brief notes on their biology, and their relation to disease if evidence is available. Illustrations of the characters of the adults of all but one of the species and of the larvae and pupae of most of them are included. With very few exceptions, synonymy is not considered, but the CULICINI include one new species described in the present edition from larvae, the adult being unknown, and another species and a variety that were first described in the second edition (1948). Anopheles edwardsi Yam. is considered a subspecies of A. koreicus Yam. & Watan. [cf. R.A.E., B 38 113]; both are recorded from Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu and edwardsi also from Korea, and larvae of both were sometimes present in the same breeding place. The characters supposed to differentiate the adults and larvae were found to intergrade. There are two separately paged appendices. The characters of the female terminalia differentiating the subgenera are described in the first, and the second is essentially a compilation of data obtained in the field during the occupation of Japan by the U.S. army, when much attention was being devoted to the risks of mosquito-borne diseases and particularly Japanese B encephalitis. It is divided into sections concerned, respectively, with: the organization and functions of malaria survey detachments; survey methods and technique (including the processing of mosquitos for virus isolation); temperature and precipitation during the, six months when mosquitos are active at Kyoto, Honshu; the hibernating habits of mosquitos; the species of mosquitos occurring in Korea; the more important sources of mosquito breeding that were observed during routine surveys in Japan; mosquito control in Japan (principally by the use of DDT against adults and larvae); mosquito-borne diseases in Japan (malaria, dengue fever, filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and Japanese B encephalitis); studies on mosquito bionomics, temperature and rainfall and their probable relationship to Japanese B encephalitis from which it was concluded that no correlation can be found between outbreaks of the disease and rainfall or temperature; and finally studies on the biology of Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles, one of the most abundant and widely distributed of the mosquitos found in Japan and probably an important vector of Japanese B encephalitis [cf. 80 163].

This report describes a case of delayed hemothorax after blunt trauma without rib fracture. The patient presented to a routine clinic appointment 72 hours after injuring himself while snowboarding. Chest radiographs at initial visit were negative for significant pathology. Eight hours later, the patient presented again with worsening chest pain and dyspnea. Repeat radiographs revealed a large right-sided hemothorax. The patient was treated with tube thoracostomy and remained an inpatient for 6 days. This case is unique because, unlike previously reported delayed hemothorax after blunt trauma, this patient had no evidence of rib fractures.

Continuous disreefing of round parachutes to slow down the opening and decrease the peak opening force has been discussed in the literature, but no viable continuous disreefing method has ever been developed. In this paper, we present a practical, effective, and low-cost continuous disreefing method that does not use any external electrical or power source, only the opening force and the weight of the payload. The method was successfully demonstrated in a full-scale test from an aircraft using a 10.7-m (35-ft) diameter round parachute. The kinetic energy of the payload at parachute deployment of that test was 11 times higher than that of the standard deployment that the parachute is designed for. In spite of the severe deployment condition, no damage to the parachute was observed after ground impact.

Association of Military Surgeons of the US AB - Deployed combat support hospitals (CSHs) must be prepared to receive a large number of simultaneous casualties. Tracking and retriaging numerous casualties in a CSH is always a challenge. This article describes a potential solution that is scalable, simple, and independent of technology or electricity and is applicable to civilian hospitals. In 2009, the 47th CSH at Al Asad Airbase in Iraq implemented a casualty tracking system based on air traffic control tracking methodologies. The goal was to maintain both positive control and efficient situational awareness of patients’ statuses and locations to maximize safety and optimize resource management. The 47th CSH’s original system consisted of a white board matrix that proved unwieldy for managing a large volume of patients in a short period of time. This method, used during the first 6 months of deployment, resulted in 'lost' patients and poor situational awareness, such as patients arriving at radiology out of order. The system is inherently simple and, if used correctly, gives the user a three-dimensional awareness of patient flow. At the conclusion of the 47th CSH’s deployment to Iraq, use of the Mass Casualty Tracking Application was strongly recommended in the lessons learned portion of the transfer of authority to the new CSH.

AB - Military spouses must contend with unique issues such as a mobile lifestyle, rules and regulations of military life, and frequent family separations including peacekeeping and combat deployments. These issues may have an adverse effect on the health of military spouses. This study examined the mental health status, rates of care utilization, source of care, as well as barriers and stigma of mental health care utilization among military spouses who were seeking care in military primary care clinics. The data show spouses have similar rates of mental health problems compared to soldiers. Spouses were more likely to seek care for their mental health problems and were less concerned with the stigma of mental health care than were soldiers. Services were most often received from primary care physicians, rather than specialty mental health professionals, which may relate to the lack of availability of mental health services for spouses on military installations.

AB - Comments on the original article Personality testing and industrial-organizational psychology: Reflections, progress, prospects by Leatta M. Hough and Frederick L. Oswald (see record [rid]2010-13391-002[/rid]). Hough and Oswald have acknowledged the major contribution of the U.S. Army’s Project A to our understanding of personnel selection within the field of industrial–organizational psychology. Results from validation of the Assessment of Background and Life Experiences (ABLE) developed in Project A provided strong evidence of the utility of personality constructs for predicting important aspects of military performance. Since Project A, the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) has conducted much research on the use of personality measures for personnel selection and classification decisions. Our commentary will focus primarily on the use of personality measures for high-stakes, Army applicant screening. Much of this research has involved either the ABLE or the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM), both self-report personality measures assessing constructs that overlap with the Big Five. With respect to item format and transparency, ABLE is similar to many personality measures that are widely used today. AIM uses a forced-choice approach to help reduce concerns regarding fakability.

This research investigated how various strategies for modifying task difficulty in instructional videogames impact learner performance and motivation. Further, the influence of prior videogame experience on these learning outcomes was examined, as well as the role prior experience played in determining the optimal approach for adjusting task difficulty. Participants completed a game-based training task under one of four task difficulty conditions: static, increasing, adaptive-low and adaptive-high. All participants completed an identical pre-training trial, 10 practice trials varying in difficulty level according to condition, and a final performance trial. Results demonstrate that learner performance and motivation significantly improved in all difficulty conditions. Further, prior videogame experience was found to significantly influence these learning outcomes and a three-way interaction was detected between performance, task difficulty condition, and experience. The results of this research provide information useful to instructional videogame developers and instructors utilizing videogames as instructional tools.

AB - This study examined self-rated health, impairments in activities of daily living, and treatment for eight health conditions among Vietnam War-era veterans, comparing those who served in Vietnam with those who served elsewhere. Data were from the nationally representative 2001 National Survey of Veterans (N = 7,907; 3,923 veterans served in Vietnam). Age-stratified (<60 years versus ≥60 years) analyses included multivariate logistic regression. In adjusted analyses, among those <60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had notably poorer self-rated health and higher stroke risk (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.48-1.53); odds of most other conditions were lower. Among those ≥60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had poorer self-rated health, higher cancer risk (odds ratio, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.32-1.35), and more treatment for hypertension, lung conditions, stroke, and hearing loss. Results suggest greater resource use among older veterans who served in Vietnam. Clinicians and the Department of Veterans Affairs should especially note their substantially higher cancer risk.

AB - Current theories are mixed with regard to the nature of mental representations following spatial description reading. Whereas some findings argue that individuals' representations are invariant following text-based, map-based, or first-person experience, other studies have suggested that representations can also exhibit considerable flexibility. In the current project we investigated the influences of spatial description perspectives and depictions on the nature of mental representations. In Experiment 1, participants exhibited more flexibility following survey, compared to route, spatial descriptions. With extended study time, though, flexibility following route descriptions increased. In Experiment 2, complementary maps further enhanced flexibility for route-based descriptions. Interestingly, increased exposure to these maps actually reduced flexibility following survey descriptions. These results demonstrate that the nature of our spatial mental representations depends upon a variety of factors; delineating these factors is critical for resolving debates concerning the malleable and invariant characteristics of spatial memory.

AB - Evident mental health needs among combat veterans after their return from combat have been described, whereas available data describing the mental health status of military personnel during deployment are few. Data were collected from personnel systematically selected from current combat regions participating in a rest and recuperation program in Doha, Qatar. Overall, 40 620 troops completed a clinic screening form between October 2003 and January 2005. Rates of self-reported depression among troops in Afghanistan were lower than those of Iraq (32.3 vs 69.7 per 10 000, P < .0001). Feelings of depression and self-harm were inversely correlated with rank (4-level ordinal grouping) (βCoef = −.21, P = .0006; βCoef = −0.49, P < .00001, respectively). Distinct temporal trends found in reported combat stress and monthly mortality rates were noted. These data support previous reports of higher mental health problems among troops in Iraq as compared with troops in Afghanistan and lower health care–seeking behavior overall. In an effort to remove barriers to care and minimize combat stress effects, it is critical to recognize mental health needs and initiate services during combat deployments.

AB - The Patient Workload Generator (PATGEN) simulation model is an important part of the Army Medical Department force requirement planning. The current version of the PATGEN model is based on historical major combat operations such as World War II and the Korean War. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference between injury distributions used in the PATGEN model and the injury distributions based on the data from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). To make the comparison feasible, the PATGEN injury categories were created using the Barell Injury Matrix. Analyses were performed using two independent OIF data sources, the Joint Theater Trauma Registry and the Standard Inpatient Data Record. Based on Χ² test results, both analyses suggest a significant difference between PATGEN and OIF injury distributions. A major concern is the underestimation by PATGEN of battle injuries with multiple wounds. The findings support future use of data-driven diagnosis-based injury distributions for current operations and new more flexible simulation models that will allow for changes in injury probability distributions.

AB - The Military Health System (MHS) identified patient-centered care and satisfied beneficiaries as main objectives in their 2006 Strategic Plan. The objective of this study was to expand upon the previous MHS model to determine predictors of patient satisfaction behaviors based upon associated attitudes and beliefs in addition to determining the predictive qualities presented by continuity of care. A sample of 90,318 patient responses from 2002 to 2004 was drawn from the Customer Satisfaction Survey database. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the uniquely predictive effects of the independent variables on the outcome variable. Results indicated the constructs from previous studies of satisfaction within the MHS using an attitude model were consistent when tested in a behavioral model. Hypothesis tests also indicated continuity of care demonstrated uniquely predictive qualities suggesting inclusion in the model. The final satisfaction with visit model yielded F(29, 90, 288) = 7062.37, p < 0.01 with R² = 0.694.

AB - Introduction: This investigation examined risk factors for injuries during military parachute training and solicited attitudes and opinions regarding a parachute ankle brace (PAB) that has been shown to protect against ankle injuries. Methods: Male Army airborne students (N = 1677) completed a questionnaire after they had successfully executed 4 of the 5 jumps necessary for qualification as a military paratrooper. The questionnaire asked about injuries during parachute descents, demographics, lifestyle characteristics, physical characteristics, physical fitness, airborne recycling (i.e., repeating airborne training because of failure to qualify on a previous attempt), PAB wear, problems with aircraft exits, and injuries in the year before airborne school. A final section of the questionnaire solicited open-ended comments about the PAB. Results: Increased risk of a parachute-related injury occurred among students who had longer time in service, were older, taller, heavier, performed fewer push-ups, ran slower, were airborne recycles, did not wear the PAB, had an aircraft exit problem, and/or reported an injury in the year prior to jump school. Among students who wore the brace, most negative comments about the PAB had to do with design, comfort, and difficulties during parachute landing falls. Conclusions: This study supported some previously identified injury risk factors (older age, greater body weight, and not using a PAB) and identified a number of new risk factors. To address PAB design and comfort issues, a strap is being added over the dorsum of the foot to better hold the PAB in place.

She had an uncomplicated prenatal course with a history of termination of pregnancy at 8 weeks without complications 3 years ago. Her due date was based on the date of her last menstrual period. She denied pain, vaginal bleeding, or loss of fluid, and reported positive fetal movement with occasional mild uterine contractions every 30 minutes. Leopold’s maneuver revealed an estimated fetal weight of 3200 g in longitudinal lie, vertex presentation. Her vaginal exam revealed a soft, posterior cervix with dilation of 1 cm, 50% effacement, -2 station, with an overall Bishop score of 5. Her membranes were intact. The fetal nonstress test was reactive, with a biophysical profile score of 8/8 and an amniotic fluid index of 12.3 cm. At the visit, the midwife made an autonomous decision to sweep her membranes to encourage spontaneous labor in order encourage labor before 42 weeks so that M.S. would not have to transfer out of the in-hospital birthing center, M.S.’s desired birthing location. M.S. reported discomfort during the exam. She returned home with counseling regarding fetal movement counting, danger signs, signs of labor, and instructions to eat, drink, and rest if possible in preparation for labor. Two days later, at 7:30 PM, M.S. presented to the birthing center experiencing painful uterine contractions every 5 to 7 minutes since 5:00 PM. She denied vaginal bleeding, reported positive fetal movement and a 'gush of clear fluid' at 6:30 PM. Upon triage in the birthing center, the fetal heart rate was 140 bpm with moderate variability, accelerations, and no decelerations. Contractions via tocodynamometer were measured every 4 to 6 minutes lasting 60 seconds. Ruptured membranes were confirmed by sterile speculum exam. Her cervix via sterile vaginal exam was noted to be soft, midposition, 4 cm dilated, 80% effaced, -1 station, and vertex with an overall Bishop score of 10. She was admitted to the birthing center with the diagnosis of early labor, spontaneous rupture of membranes, and reassuring fetal status. Labor was monitored per protocol and she progressed to have a normal spontaneous birth of a healthy baby girl early the next morning.

AB - Since the invasion of Iraq, al Qaeda has used 'franchises' to expand its global reach. Al Qaeda offered these franchises very little, except its name, reputation, and ideology. Because of al Qaeda’s minimal investment, destroying the franchise groups will accomplish very little against the mother organization. Instead, the United States should use al Qaeda’s franchises as a vehicle to attack al Qaeda’s name, reputation, and ideas. Al Qaeda’s franchises are more prone to strategic mistakes than their namesake; those errors should be used as the cornerstone of a narrative to highlight al Qaeda’s ideological failings. Al Qaeda in Iraq has been particularly mistake-prone. Three mistakes in particular offer opportunities to undermine al Qaeda’s ideology: attacks against Muslim civilians, the declaration of the Islamic State of Iraq, and infighting with other Iraqi insurgent groups.

Copyright Statement: Virtual Reality Medical Institute AB - We describe the first two cases where virtual reality was added to usual pain medications to reduce excessive pain during wound care of combat-related burn injuries. Patient 1 was a 22 year old male who suffered 3rd degree burns on 32% of his body, including his right hand, during a roadside bomb terrorist attack in Iraq. The nurse administered wound care to half of the right hand during VR and the other half of the same hand during no VR (treatment order randomized). This patient was the first to use a unique custom articulated robotic-like arm mounted VR goggle system. Three 0-10 graphic rating scale pain scores for each of the two treatment conditions served as the primary dependent variables. The patient reported less pain when distracted with VR. 'Time spent thinking about pain' dropped from 100% during no VR to 15% during VR, 'pain unpleasantness' ratings dropped from 'moderate' (6/10) to 'mild' (4/10). Wound care was''no fun at all' (0/10) during no VR but was 'pretty fun' (8/10) during VR. However, Patient 1 reported no reduction in worst pain during VR. Patient 2 suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns when his humvee was hit by a terrorist's rocket propelled grenade in Iraq. During his wound care debridement, 'time spent thinking about pain' was 100% (all of the time) with no VR and 0 (none of the time) during VR, 'pain unpleasantness' ratings dropped from 'severe' (7/10) to 'none'. Worst pain dropped from 'severe' (8/10) to mild pain (2/10). And fun increased from zero with no VR to 10 (extremely fun) during VR. Although preliminary, using a within-subjects experimental design, the present study provided evidence that immersive VR can be an effective adjunctive nonpharmacologic analgesic for reducing cognitive pain, emotional pain and the sensory component of pain of soldiers experiencing severe procedural pain during wound care of a combat-related burn injury.

The present study included interviews with 202 soldiers returning from a year in Iraq. Although reporting an A2 response was associated with higher PTSD Checklist scores, there were no significant differences in the percentage of subjects who met cutoff criteria for PTSD. The most common alternative A2 responses were related to military training and anger. The A2 criterion for PTSD should be expanded so as not to underestimate the number of individuals trained for high-risk occupations who might benefit from treatment.

To determine PCL’s performance on a population level, the authors combined data from published studies that compared the PCL with structured diagnostic interviews. Weighted average sensitivities and specificities were calculated for cutoff categories most often reported in the literature. Weighted average sensitivity decreased from .85 to .39 and specificity increased from .73 to .97 for cutoffs ranging from 30 to 60. The PCL’s ability to accurately estimate PTSD prevalence varied as a function of cutoff and true PTSD prevalence. In populations with a true PTSD prevalence of 15% or less, cutoff values below 44 will substantially overestimate PTSD prevalence. Uncalibrated use of the PCL for prevalence estimation may lead to large errors.

Multilevel growth curve modeling found that CISD did not differentially hasten recovery compared to the other two conditions. For those soldiers reporting the highest degree of exposure to mission stressors, CISD was minimally associated with lower reports of posttraumatic stress and aggression (vs. SMC), higher perceived organizational support (vs. SO), and more alcohol problems than SMC and SO. Soldiers reported that they liked CISD more than the SMC, and CISD did not cause undue distress.

AB - Studies have shown that spatial disorientation (SD) plays a significant role in both the number and outcome of rotary wing accidents. Recent work has confirmed this and highlighted the contribution of brownout conditions and aircrew fatigue in accident causation. Current standard Army aircraft cockpit displays do not provide drift information leaving the pilot guessing the direction and magnitude of the aircraft’s drift vector when close to the ground. This information is critical to the safe landing of helicopters in brownout conditions. The few helicopters with instrumentation that provide drift information do so via visual displays which require the focus of an already visually-saturated pilot. This effort tested a system that provides drift information through the tactile sense via a belt around the waist in a fatigued aviator model. Analysis of the study data showed that the tactile belt significantly improved drift control during takeoff and reduced drift error during hover. In fatigued pilots (awake for 31 continuous hours), all measures of drift were better with the belt versus without the belt. Fatigued pilots reported a significant reduction in visual and physical workload with the belt. Results indicate that the belt significantly improved pilot perception of drift and situation awareness and reduced mental stress.

Issue Publication Date: May-Jun, 2008. AB - This article outlines a method of conducting a laboratory designed to discover mathematical integration with students. The results are produced and verified in the laboratory by students. Understanding that an integral is defined by the area bounded by a function of x and the x-axis from a point a to a point b is challenging. Students often have trouble connecting this idea to any physical phenomena. While classroom exercises tend to show the mathematical mechanics of integration, few exercises demonstrate the process of more abstract integrals. Our in-class activity allows for hands-on integration of any function. The students physically integrate power as a function of distance as light passes through a function cut-out. Students can actually collect data and see the integral come to life. We restrict how much light passes through the cut-out using a razor blade and we record the power of this light as the razor blade is translated; thus the data collected are the integral of the cut-out shape. Fitting a function to these data, the students gain confidence in their results by taking the derivative of this new function, thus returning the shape of the original mask.

AB - The development of OPIDN and the efficacy of experimental intervention using the calcium-channel blocker verapamil were used as a model to test the serial time-measurements of serum autoantibodies against neuronal cytoskeletal proteins [e.g., neurofilament triplet (NF)] and glial proteins [myelin-basic protein (MBP) and glial fibrillary-acidic protein (GFAP)] as biomarkers of neurotoxicity and its amelioration. Ten White Leghorn hens (>7 months, 1.2-1.8 kg) were administered phenyl-saligenin phosphate (PSP; 2.5 mg/kg; im), a dose reported to induce a 70% decrease in neurotoxic esterase (NTE) activity. Five of the hens were administered verapamil (7 mg/kg; im) for 4 days starting one day before PSP administration. Serum was isolated from blood collected by serial brachial venepuncture before PSP (day 0) administration and on days 3, 7 and 21 after PSP administration, each hen acting as its own control. Serum antibodies (IgG) to NF-L, NF-M, NF-H, MBP, and GFAP were assayed using an ELISA. There were no detectable levels of antibodies on days 0 and 3. IgG against all neural proteins were detected on days 7 and 21, with titer levels being significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher in sera of hens receiving PSP only. Anti-NF-L titers were highest compared to those against NF-M, NF-H or MBP at 21 days. Titers of anti-NF-L and anti-MBP significantly (p ≤ 0.01) correlated with clinical scores at days 7 and 21. Detection of anti-NF and anti-MBP antibodies confirms the neuroaxonal degeneration accompanied by myelin loss reported in this model of OPIDN and the amelioration of neuropathy using verapamil. The detection of anti-GFAP antibodies suggests CNS involvement in OPIDN, since astrocytes are only found therein. This study demonstrates that detection of neuroantibodies can be used as biomarkers of neuropathy development and to monitor the amelioration resulting from therapeutic intervention. Together with biomarkers of exposure neuroantibodies can be used to monitor neuropathogenesis due to environmental or occupational exposures.

AB - Building on Carroll and Clark (Sex Roles 55:469-480, 2006), the current study examined whether women's scripts overlap or diverge from acquaintance rape scripts reported by men. Using a preset rape scenario, scripts were elicited from a sample of 292 women and 125 men from the United States. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, including a content analysis of script themes as well as modeling analyses to examine gender differences in underlying latent structures. The findings confirm that, for both women and men, there is not a single rape script. However, when looking at latent structures, there is clear evidence of the diverging conceptualization of rape for women and men. Findings highlight how the Traditional Sexual Script continues to influence one's understanding of cultural scenarios.

AB - This article describes how we applied our disaster response skills in their roles on U.S. Army and U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHS) disaster mental health response teams. We present personal examples from our deployment experiences to illustrate how to address the barriers occupational therapy practitioners may face in responding to American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA's) call to action. It was not until the early 1990s that the need to address disaster mental health was formally recognized, prompting the formation of disaster mental health networks among agencies such as the American Red Cross, the National Organization for Victim Assistance, and the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. It is clear that although occupational therapy practitioners have the potential to become members of disaster mental health teams, they face barriers to doing so. In a guest editorial on occupational therapy in times of disaster, one of the author queried, 'Are occupational therapists prepared to respond? Are occupational therapists essential during and in the aftermath of a disaster?'. From our direct experience, we confidently respond 'Yes' to her questions. We are essential, we are prepared, and we do respond.

The service members' perceptions were addressed in the dimensions of ethics, effectiveness, and safety, as well as the overall perceptions of the AVIP. The study, conducted in October 2004, randomly selected active duty service members from the uniformed services assigned to a Caribbean military base who participated in the AVIP during the period of 1998 to 2000. Their perceptions were measured with a survey instrument with 14 closed-ended, Likert-scale questions. The research demonstrated that a substantial number of service members disagreed with issues regarding the ethics, safety, and efficacy of the AVIP. We recommend enhanced training and education to increase understanding of the benefits of the AVIP.

AB - Brief structured clinical interviews are a key component of the Department of Defense postdeployment health reassessment program. Such interviews are critical for recommending individuals for follow-up assessment and care. To standardize the interview process, U.S. Army Medical Research Unit-Europe developed a structured interview guide, designed in response to both clinical requirements and research findings. The guide includes sections on depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship problems, alcohol problems, and sleep problems. In addition, there is an open-ended section on other problems and a section for case dispositions. Data from a 2005 blinded validation study with soldiers returning from a 1-year-long combat deployment are included to demonstrate the utility of the structured interview. Guidelines and implementation considerations for the use of the structured interview are discussed.

AB - Over the past two decades, mental skills training (MST) has experienced a tremendous surge in popularity, yet MST is not without its critics, including some athletes and coaches. Additionally, a number of concerns have arisen about mental training effectiveness, and its ability to maximize athlete development, performance, and peaking. Periodization is a systematic program development and implementation strategy that holds promise for enhancing mental training effectiveness and combating some of the problems currently limiting MST interventions. Thus, the purpose of this conceptual paper was threefold. First, periodization concepts are introduced by demonstrating how they are utilized to systematically guide physical training. Second, strategies to adapt periodization concepts to enhance mental training programs are examined, along with techniques to integrate physical and mental training, including: mental training tool and skill periodization plans and mental training drill menus. Finally, a case study is presented to illustrate how an integrated approach to periodized training that targets both physical and mental skill development can enhance the effectiveness of MST while minimizing implementation problems.

Issue Publication Date: Apr, 2008. AB - Substance use disorders constitute a serious and persistent threat to military readiness and to the health and safety of military personnel and their families. Methamphetamine is among the most addictive and damaging of commonly abused drugs; this is of great concern for military health providers in Hawaii due to the unusually high prevalence in the local community. The effect of regional drug use on active duty subpopulations has not been previously studied. This study includes a 6-year retrospective sample of laboratory-confirmed methamphetamine-, cocaine-, and marijuana-positive drug tests among Army soldiers stationed in Hawaii and western and eastern continental U.S. installations. The findings suggest that active duty members are significantly affected by the local drug climate. However, current military drug policies also deter use as evidenced by low absolute drug-positive rates even in regions of high civilian prevalence.

We obtain graphical feedback as soon as possible in each approach and permit 'what if' modeling wherever possible. This approach is contrasted with the usual Fourier series development and series solution using boundary value solution strategies.

AB - Body water deficits or hypohydration (HYP) may degrade cognitive performance during heat exposure and perhaps temperate conditions. Cold exposure often induces HYP, but the combined effects of cold and HYP on cognitive performance are unknown. This study investigated whether HYP degrades cognitive performance during cold exposure and if physical exercise could mitigate any cold-induced performance decline. On four occasions, eight volunteers completed one hour of militarily-relevant cognitive testing: 30 min of simulated sentry duty/marksmanship, 20 min of a visual vigilance task, a self-report workload assessment, and a mood questionnaire. Testing was conducted in a cold (2°C) or temperate (20°C) environment before and after cycle ergometer (60 min at 60% of VO2peak) exercise. Each trial was preceded by 3 h of passive heat stress (45°C) in the early morning with (euhydration, EUH) or without (hypohydration, HYP; 3% body mass) fluid replacement followed by prolonged recovery. HYP did not alter any cognitive, psychomotor, or self-report parameter in either environment before or after exercise. Cold exposure increased (p<0.05) target detection latency in the sentry duty task, adversely affected mood and workload ratings, but had no impact on any other cognitive or psychomotor measure. After completing the exercise bout, there were modest improvements in friend-foe discrimination and total response latency in the sentry duty task, but not on any other performance measures. Moderate HYP had no effect on cognitive and psychomotor performance in either environment, cold exposure produced equivocal effects, and aerobic exercise improved some aspects of military task performance.

AB - In the early 1980s the U.S. Army fielded the first integrated helmet-mounted display (HMD) for use in the AH-64 Apache helicopter. To reduce head-supported weight and minimize center-of-mass offsets, a monocular optical design was selected. Although early design concerns of binocular rivalry and the Pulfrich phenomenon never materialized, user surveys have documented persistent reports of visual complaints and illusions in peacetime training flights. However, a recent evaluation conducted under battle conditions in Operation Iraqi Freedom found statistically lower reports of complaints and illusions. While these reported problems are short-term, questions have been raised regarding potential long-term physiological effects resulting from long-term use of this monocular display. A 10-year longitudinal study, currently underway in the U.K., has been implemented to definitively answer the question of whether long-term exposure produces any degradation in binocular visual function.

The new phase is gray-black, is persistently metastable at room conditions, and is insoluble in carbon disulfide. The phase is apparently formed from a stage of decomposition during which high-conductance transients are observed in in situ electrical experiments. The sulfur phase appears to form upon the release of the nitrogen from a sulfur-nitrogen chain that is produced from the scission of an S4N4 ring.

Monkeys given the vaccine-adjuvant combination had earlier and significantly (P < .05) higher titers by 14 days compared to those that received vaccine alone. The potentiation of the antibody response of young monkeys given a split-virus vaccine in combination with poly(ICLC) suggests that this vaccine-adjuvant combination may similarly provide a potentially useful alternative approach to the immunization of pediatric and young adult age groups against swine influenza.

The purpose was to determine if an increase in thermal activity had taken place since an earlier airborne survey in 1966. Nine months before the eruption there was no evidence of an increase in thermal activity. The survey during the first week of the 1980 eruptions- indicated that little or no change in thermal activity had taken place up to 4 April. Temperatures of ejected ash and steam were low and never exceeded 15°C direttly above the vent.

To develop a consensus statement, potential benefits, risks, and strategies to optimize military performance through PS use were considered in the context of specific warfighter populations and occupational demands. To maintain muscle mass, strength, and performance during periods of substantial metabolic demand and concomitant negative energy balance the panel recommended that warfighters consume 1.5-2.0 g · kg-1 ·d-1 of protein. However, if metabolic demand is low, such as in garrison, protein intake should equal the current Military Dietary Reference Intake (0.8-1.5 g · kg-1 · d-1). Although PS use generally appears to be safe for healthy adults, warfighters should be educated on PS quality, given quality-control and contamination concerns with commercial dietary supplements. To achieve recommended protein intakes, the panel strongly urges consumption of high-quality protein-containing whole foods. However, when impractical, the use of PSs (20-25 g per serving or 0.25-0.3 g · kg-1 per meal), particularly after periods of strenuous physical activity (e.g., military training, combat patrols, and exercise), is acceptable. The committee acknowledges the need for further study of protein requirements for extreme, military-specific environmental conditions and whether unique metabolic stressors associated with military service alter protein requirements for aging warfighters.

JO - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism JF - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 23 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 470 EP - 479 SN - 1526484X AB - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n = 10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p = .10–0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca = 0.30 ± 0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41 ± 0.53 μmol/L; Zn 1.11 ± 0.80 μmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p < .05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability.

Nutritional supplements are dietary supplements (DS) and foods intended to supplement the diet. Purpose: This study assessed relationships between NS use, demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and WM goals among U.S. Army personnel. Methods: Participants (N = 990) self-reported NS use, categorized as energy drinks, sport nutrition products, or DS, and WM goal (lose, gain, or maintain) was ascertained by survey. DS were subcategorized as health, weight-loss, weight-gain, or other DS. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to assess relationships between predictors, NS use, and WM goal. Most respondents (70.3% ± 1.7%) consumed some NS; however, overall NS use was not related to WM goal. Significant relationships were observed between predictors (tobacco use, age, body-mass index, fitness score, general health, and eating habits) and both WM goal and NS use. Respondents attempting to lose or maintain weight were less likely to consume energy drinks and weight-gain DS. Conclusion: WM goal is related to multiple health behaviors including tobacco use, physical fitness score, and self-perception of health and eating behavior. NS are consumed in this population regardless of WM goal.

JO - Annual Review of Nutrition JF - Annual Review of Nutrition Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 33 M3 - Article SP - 271 EP - 288 SN - 01999885 AB - Iron is a nutritionally essential trace element that functions through incorporation into proteins and enzymes, many of which contribute to physical and neuropsychological performance. Poor iron status, including iron deficiency (ID; diminished iron stores) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA; poor iron stores and diminished hemoglobin), affects billions of people worldwide. This review focuses on physical and neuropsychological outcomes associated with ID and IDA in premenopausal women, as the prevalence of ID and IDA is often greater in premenopausal women than other population demographics. Recent studies addressing the physiological effects of poor iron status on physical performance, including work productivity, voluntary activity, and athletic performance, are addressed. Similarly, the effects of iron status on neurological performance, including cognition, affect, and behavior, are summarized. Nutritional countermeasures for the prevention of poor iron status and the restoration of decrements in performance outcomes are described.

AB - We describe the first two cases where virtual reality was added to usual pain medications to reduce excessive pain during wound care of combat-related burn injuries. Patient 1, a 22 year old male, suffered 3rd degree burns on 32% of his body, including his right hand, during a roadside bomb terrorist attack in Iraq. The nurse administered wound care to half of the right hand during VR and the other half of the same hand during no VR (treatment order randomized). This patient was the first to use a unique custom articulated arm mounted VR goggle system. Three 0-10 graphic rating scale pain scores for each of the two treatment conditions served as the primary dependent variables. The patient reported less pain when distracted with VR (e.g., 'time spent thinking about pain' dropped from 100% during no VR to 15% during VR, 'pain unpleasantness' ratings dropped from 'moderate' (6/10) to 'mild' (4/10). Wound care was 'no fun at all' (0/10) during no VR but was 'pretty fun' (8/10) during VR. However, Patient 1 reported no reduction in worst pain during VR. Patient 2 suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns when his humvee was hit by a terrorist's rocket propelled grenade in Iraq. During his wound care debridement, 'time spent thinking about pain' was 100% (all of the time) with no VR and 0 (none of the time) during VR, 'pain unpleasantness' ratings dropped from 'severe' (7/10) to 'none'. Worst pain dropped from 'severe' (8/10) to mild pain (2/10). And fun increased from zero with no VR to 10 (extremely fun) during VR. Although preliminary, using a within-subjects experimental design, the present study provided evidence that immersive VR can be an effective adjunctive nonpharmacologic analgesic for reducing cognitive pain, emotional pain and the sensory component of pain of soldiers experiencing severe procedural pain during wound care of a combat-related burn injury.

Page Count: 5. AB - This chapter describes the psychotherapeutic technique of urge surfing. Of the many barriers to a productive and healthy life that people face, urge control may be one of the most daunting. Giving in to temptation, whether it is to drugs, irresponsible spending, or infidelity, can have broad negative implications for clients. Many skills have been developed to address such problems within the domain of addictions and habit control. Abstinence-based approaches (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous), relapse prevention techniques, and urge management techniques are widely used with clients suffering from addictions. This chapter focuses on urge management, in particular, the skill known as urge surfing. Urge surfing has been demonstrated to be an effective component of cognitive behavioral treatment packages. Teaching the client how to urge surf can play an instrumental role in the client's ability to resist the temptations the urge is directed toward (e.g., drinking, smoking, infidelity, etc.). Urge surfing is a cognitively based urge management technique. In general, urge surfing involves teaching the client a collection of closely related strategies to cope with and overcome urges to behave in ways (e.g., to smoke) that are counter to their therapeutic goals. Clients are taught to treat urges as though they were like waves in the ocean. Urges come on, grow in intensity, and eventually subside just like ocean waves. Moreover, like waves, urges tend to be brief. They do not grow and grow until the client has to do something before they will go away.

AB - According to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, terrorism is defined as 'The unlawful use of force or violence committed by a group or individual against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives'. Although the history of public figure stalking, attacks, and assassinations is largely a product of a behavior that would not fit this definition, there is a subgroup of individuals who carry out stalking and attacks that would specifically meet this definition of terrorism. We offer this chapter as a counterpoint to the emphasis on other motivations and the predominance of mentally ill individuals that characterizes much of the contemporary research in this area. Our interest is the subject who stalks and attempts to kill a public figure to explicitly further a political, social, or in some cases, religious objective.

AB - BACKGROUND--An important medical concern of the Iraq war is the potential long-term effect of mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, particularly from blast explosions. However, the epidemiology of combat-related mild traumatic brain injury is poorly understood. METHODS--We surveyed 2525 U.S. Army infantry soldiers 3 to 4 months after their return from a year-long deployment to Iraq. Validated clinical instruments were used to compare soldiers reporting mild traumatic brain injury, defined as an injury with loss of consciousness or altered mental status (e.g., dazed or confused), with soldiers who reported other injuries. RESULTS--Of 2525 soldiers, 124(4.9%) reported injuries with loss of consciousness, 260 (10.3%) reported injuries with altered mental status, and 435 (17.2%) reported other injuries during deployment. Of those reporting loss of consciousness, 43.9% met criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as compared with 27.3% of those reporting altered mental status, 16.2% with other injuries, and 9.1% with no injury. Soldiers with mild traumatic brain injury, primarily those who had loss of consciousness, were significantly more likely to report poor general health, missed workdays, medical visits, and a high number of somatic and postconcussive symptoms than were soldiers with other injuries. However, after adjustment for PTSD and depression, mild traumatic brain injury was no longer significantly associated with these physical health outcomes or symptoms, except for headache. CONCLUSIONS--Mild traumatic brain injury (i.e., concussion) occurring among soldiers deployed in Iraq is strongly associated with PTSD and physical health problems 3 to 4 months after the soldiers return home. PTSD and depression are important mediators of the relationship between mild traumatic brain injury and physical health problems.

AB - Reviews the book, Death and resurrection in art by Enrico De Pascale (2009). This little gem of a book provides a survey of images and iconography associated with death and resurrection. The images are gleaned from Western and non-Western cultures and come from various periods ranging from classical antiquity to contemporary avant-garde. De Pascale begins his investigation with a brief introduction that treads well-worn ground for most death scholars: death is linked to almost every aspect of the human condition, and there are legions of images that reflect its ubiquitous presence. The book is divided into eight thematic chapters with each of these divided into smaller sub-themes. This book with its clear informative text and beautiful color reproductions provides an enlightening first stop for any researcher investigating the imagery of death and resurrection.

Bliese, and Carl Andrew Castro (Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2005, Vol. 10, No. 2, pp. 121-137). As stated in the original article, all service members re-deploying from the Bosnia Area of Operations were required by Department of Defense policy (tasker P 231639Z FEB 96) to complete the psychological screening survey. The screening data were collected as part of routine clinical care under the Privacy Act Regulation, and secondary analysis of these data was conducted under a protocol approved by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Human Use Review Committee. It should be noted, however, that subjects were not asked to consent to the secondary analyses of the screening data for research purposes. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record [rid]2005-03471-004[/rid].) This study examined the effects of stressor duration (deployment length) and stressor novelty (no prior deployment experience) on the psychological health of male and female military personnel returning from a peacekeeping deployment. The sample consisted of men (n = 2,114) and women (n = 1,225) surveyed for symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress. The results confirmed the hypotheses. Longer deployments and 1st-time deployments were associated with an increase in distress scores. However, the relationship between deployment length and increased distress was found only for male soldiers. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering the impact of exposure to long-term occupational stressors and confirm, in part, previous research that has demonstrated a different stress response pattern for men and women.

These four different approaches were evaluated against structured clinical interviews in studies with U.S. soldiers preparing to deploy and returning from combat operations in Iraq. Three samples ( N = 337, N = 574, and N = 348) were screened to assess the effectiveness of a short global measure of distress, a single self referral item, symptom-specific scales selected for the target population, and a composite instrument that included a combination of clinical domains. A composite screen with measures of posttraumatic stress, depression, and alcohol problems, along with a single self-referral item, performed most effectively.

AB - Objective: The study was done to determine whether thermal comfort (TC), thermal sensation (TS), and subjective factors gauging environmental stress were negatively affected with different cooling methods in men exercising in chemical protective clothing. Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent regional cooling improved the efficacy of cooling as compared with constant cooling (CC), but no studies have addressed whether there is any improvement in thermal comfort. Methods: Eight male volunteers exercised at moderate work intensity (425 W) in three microclimate cooling tests. The circulating fluid in the cooling garment was provided during exercise to the head (6% body surface area [BSA]), torso (22% BSA), and thighs (44% BSA) and manipulated under three methods: (a) CC, (b) pulsed cooling (PC), and (c) PC activated by mean skin temperature (T̄sk) control (PCskin). TC and TS ratings were recorded every 20 min during the 80-min test. Results: TC and TS ratings were not different for PCskin and CC; thus the participants perceived PCskin as being similar to CC. TS was significantly warmer with PC than with PCskin and CC (p < .001). In PCskin. T̄sk was significantly higher than in PC and CC (p < .001), and PCskin was rated as being not as warm as PC according to TS. Conclusion: This indicates that the PCskin method was perceived as being as cool as CC and cooler than PC. Application: These findings indicate that the PCskin cooling method is an acceptable alternative to CC and PC based on human perceptions.

With the use of these industrial chemicals is the possibility of accidental large-scale chemical mishaps. More recently, due to concerns with terrorists and their known interests in using weapons of mass destruction, there is a possibility that terrorists could use toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) as weapons. Large-scale chemical mishaps, whether intentional or accidental, can produce a variety of psychiatric sequellae, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), changes in health-related quality of life (QOL) and disability, and multiple unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS).

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 71 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - E52 EP - E61 SN - 00221147 AB - Different methods for improving texture profile and water retention of scrambled egg patties after high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) treatment were evaluated as part of a feasibility study for the development of shelf-stable egg products. Four formulations, a basic one, 2 with xanthan gum, 1 with cheese, were compared after HPHT treatment by analyzing texture profile and degree of syneresis. The effects of water addition of 0% to 15%, 3 levels of vacuum packaging, 4 preheating rates, and 2 HPHT conditions (700 MPa/105 °C/5 min and 700 MPa/121 °C/3 min) on texture and water retention of egg patties were also compared for selected formulations. Patties reformulated with xanthan gum and cheese resulted in at least a 30% reduction in hardness, cohesiveness, and water loss. Use of low vacuum packaging in less porous patties modified with xanthan gum maintained original texture values after 700 MPa/105 °C/5 min. Addition of water into the defrosted structure increased water holding capacity and maintained hardness within its standard value after pressurization at 105 °C and 121 °C. Most texture descriptors and syneresis did not change significantly with preheating rates after HPHT treatment. Tested mechanisms for texture and water retention improvement of HPHT treated patties can contribute to meeting quality requirements not fulfilled by conventional thermal processing for the development of shelf-stable scrambled egg products.

Data were obtained from 26 combat-experienced medics. Volunteers were briefed on the medical monitoring system. They then completed a questionnaire on background medical treatment experience, provided drawings on how and what information should be displayed on the GUI screens for use on a personal digital assistant, and participated in focus group sessions with four to seven medics per group to obtain group consensus on what information the GUI screens should contain. Detailed displays on seven screens provide the medical and situational awareness information medics need for triage decisions and for early processing of a casualty. The created GUI screens are a combination of object-based and text-based information using a color-coded system. Medics believed the information displayed with these GUI designs would improve treatment of casualties on the battlefield.

A surveillance project to evaluate U.S. military patients for the presence of MDR pathogens from wounding through the first 30 days of care in the military healthcare system (MHS) was performed. U.S. military patients admitted to a single combat support hospital in Iraq during June-July of 2007 had screening swabs obtained for the detection of MDR bacteria and a subsequent retrospective electronic medical records review for presence of colonization or infection in the subsequent 30 days. Screening of 74 U.S. military patients in Iraq found one colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Fifty-six patients of these were screened for Acinetobacter in Germany and one found colonized. Of patients evacuated to the U.S., 9 developed infections. Carefully obtained screening cultures immediately after injury combined with look-back monitoring supports the role of nosocomial transmission. Consistent infection control strategies are needed for the entire MHS.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 174 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 762 EP - 769 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Malaria was eradicated and the Republic of Korea (ROK) declared "malaria free" in 1979. However, in 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria, expressing both latent and nonlatent disease populations, re-emerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), rapidly spread to civilian sectors near the DMZ, and increased exponentially in ROK military, veteran, and civilian populations through 1998. Malaria among all ROK populations decreased 5-fold from a high of 4,142 cases in 2000 to a low of 826 cases in 2004, before increasing again to 2,180 cases by 2007. Each malaria case in the ROK is reported in the metropolitan area/province where the diagnosis is made, which may be at some distance from the area where infection occurred. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain transmission sites since approximately 60% of vivax malaria in Korea is latent with symptoms occurring >1 month to 24 months after infection. A review of case diagnosis for civilian, veteran, and military populations shows that nearly all malaria south of Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces is the result of veterans exposed in malaria high-risk areas along the DMZ and returning to their hometowns where they later develop malaria. Thus, malaria currently remains localized near the DMZ with limited transmission in provinces south of Seoul and has not spread throughout Korea as previously hypothesized. This report describes the reemergence of vivax malaria cases in civilian and military ROK populations and U.S. military personnel and assesses variables related to its transmission and geographic distribution.

Methods: Anthropometrics, ethnicity, and fitness data were collected before review of medical records. Results: Injury rates for I, CE, and CA were 4.0, 7.2, and 5.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, respectively: over 70% of them resulted from overuse. SF soldiers had an injury rate of 3.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, 50% of them reported as traumatic. Average limited-duty days (LDDs) were threefold higher in SF. Smoking, BMI ≥25, and APFT run time for 3.2 km >14 minutes were risk factors in I. Caucasian ethnicity, height <170.2 cm, weight ≥90 kg, and BMI ≥25 were risk factors in CE and CA. Age >27 years old was a risk factor in SF. Conclusions: Greater emphasis should be placed on risk factor identification and testing strategies to reduce injuries among SF and other troops.

The conference focused on three aspects of military nutrition: (1) fueling the forces, or garrison feeding; (2) performance optimization or operational feeding during deployment: and (3) nutritional interventions to support health reset and healing. Presentations by speakers addressed practical interventions (i.e., ready for implementation now) and advanced technologies (i.e., approaches meriting prioritized research and development efforts to transition into application). The conference concluded that nutritional optimization represents an integral and proactive approach to prevent illness, injury, and performance degradation throughout all phases of military service. The overarching consensus achieved was that warfighter nutrition, as a cornerstone of FHP, warrants the critical attention of both medical and line leadership to move quickly to support current initiatives and future advanced technologies.

To determine the frequency, distinguishing clinical characteristics, and etiology of A. americanum-associated illness and identify associated risk factors, a protective study of adult tick-bite victims was conducted at Fort Campbell from 2005-2007. Forty-two participants submitted ticks, none of which contained Borrelia lonestari or B. burgdorferi DNA. Thirty-three participants completed a follow-up health survey; 14 reported at least one symptom: two had erythema migrans-like rash; eight sought medical evaluation for their symptoms. Findings suggest that a variety of symptoms are temporally associated with tick bite but data provide no clear evidence that reported symptoms were caused by an infectious process. Removing a tick by hand or being bitten on a limb may be a risk factor for illness.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2009/04// VL - 174 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 412 EP - 418 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Malaria is a significant health threat to U.S. combat forces that are deployed to malaria-endemic regions. From 1979. when the Republic of Korea (ROK) was declared malaria free, malaria did not present a health threat to U.S. forces deployed in Korea until the early 1990s, In 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria expressing both latent (long prepatent incubation periods of usually 6-18 months after infection) and nonlatent (short prepatent incubation periods <30 days after infection) disease reemerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and once again presented a primary health threat to U.S. military populations in the ROK. Following its reemergence, malaria rates increased dramatically through 1998 and accounted for >44% of all malaria cases among U.S. Army soldiers from 1997 to 2002. More than 60% of all Korean-acquired malaria among U.S. soldiers was identified as latent malaria. Nearly 80% of all latent malaria attributed to exposure in Korea was diagnosed in the U.S. or other countries where soldiers were deployed, These data illustrate the requirement for a comprehensive malaria education program, especially for those soldiers residing or training in malaria high-risk areas, to inform soldiers and providers of the risk of developing malaria after leaving Korea.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2005. The study found 171 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 13.3/10,000 soldiers per year) and 35 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21.6/101100 soldiers per year), a total of 206 MEDEVACS. Fifty-three percent (n = 109) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries caused by acts of war. Thirty-one percent of all oral-facial MEDEVACS (n = 64) were for diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Sixteen percent (n = 33) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were fix nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the face bones, for the most part because of motor vehicle accidents.

Objective: The goal of this preliminary investigation was to assess the release of CNMs into the laboratory atmosphere during handling and sonication into environmentally relevant matrices. Method s: We measured fullerenes (C60), underivatized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (raw MWCNT), hydroxylated MWCNT (MWCNT-OH), and carbon black (CB) in air as the nanomaterials were weighed, transferred to beakers filled with reconstituted freshwater, and sonicated in deionized water and reconstituted freshwater with and without NOM. Airborne nanomaterials emitted during processing were quantified using two hand-held particle counters that measure total particle number concentration per volume of air within the nanometer range (10-1,000 nm) and six specific size ranges (300-10,000 nm). Particle size and morphology were determined by transmission electron microscopy of air sample filters. Discussion: After correcting for background particle number concentrations, it was evident that increases in airborne particle number concentrations occurred for each nanomaterial except CB during weighing, with airborne particle number concentrations inversely related to particle size. Sonicating nanomaterial-spiked water resulted in increased airborne nanomaterials, most notably for MWCNT-OH in water with NOM and for CB. Conclusion: Engineered nanomaterials can become airborne when mixed in solution by sonication, especially when nanomaterials are functionalized or in water containing NOM. This finding indicates that laboratory workers may be at increased risk of exposure to engineered nanomaterials.

People with PD, their families, scientists, health care providers, and the general public are increasingly interested in identifying environmental contributors to PD risk. METHODS: In June 2007, a multidisciplinary group of experts gathered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, to assess what is known about the contribution of environmental factors to PD. RESULTS: We describe the conclusions around which they came to consensus with respect to environmental contributors to PD risk. We conclude with a brief summary of research needs. CONCLUSIONS: PD is a complex disorder, and multiple different pathogenic pathways and mechanisms can ultimately lead to PD. Within the individual there are many determinants of PD risk, and within populations, the causes of PD are heterogeneous. Although rare recognized genetic mutations are sufficient to cause PD, these account for < 10% of PD in the U.S. population, and incomplete penetrance suggests that environmental factors may be involved. Indeed, interplay among environmental factors and genetic makeup likely influences the risk of developing PD. There is a need for further understanding of how risk factors interact, and studying PD is likely to increase understanding of other neurodegenerative disorders.

Results indicated that a three-factor measurement model consistently improved model fit compared to the previously published two-factor model. Evidence of configural, metric, and scalar measurement invariance across time and among subgroups suggests that the 10-item decisional balance scale is appropriate for investigating associative relationships with other constructs and for comparing group means of the pros and cons subscales among a variety of diabetic population subgroups.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 21 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 648 EP - 657 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - We investigated the toxic effects of the chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) soman (GD) on the respiratory dynamics of guinea pigs following microinstillation inhalation exposure. Male Hartley guinea pigs were exposed to 841 mg/m3 of GD or saline for 4 min. At 24 and 48 h post GD exposure, respiratory dynamics and functions were monitored for 75 min after 1 h of stabilization in a barometric whole-body plethysmograph. GD-exposed animals showed a significant increase in respiratory frequency (RF) at 24 h postexposure compared to saline controls. The 24-h tidal volume (TV) increased in GD-exposed animals during the last 45 min of the 75-min monitoring period in the barometric whole-body plethysmograph. Minute ventilation also increased significantly at 24 h post GD exposure. The peak inspiratory flow (PIF) increased, whereas peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased at 24 h and was erratic following GD exposure. Animals exposed to GD showed a significant decrease in expiratory (Te) and inspiratory time (Ti). Although end inspiratory pause (EIP) and end expiratory pause (EEP) were both decreased 24 h post GD exposure, EEP was more evident. Pause (P) decreased equally during the 75-min recording in GD-exposed animals, whereas the pseudo lung resistance (Penh) decreased initially during the monitoring period but was near control levels at the end of the 75-min period. The 48-h respiratory dynamics and function parameter were lower than 24 post GD exposures. These results indicate that inhalation exposure to soman in guinea pigs alters respiratory dynamics and function at 24 and 48 h postexposure.

Although there has been a general decline in the incidence of wartime acute kidney injury, the mortality associated with acute kidney injury and the use of renal replacement therapy remain unchanged, in the range of 60% to 80%. The U.S. Army official doctrine is that field dialysis is provided through a specialized Hospital Augmentation Team; however, this team has not been deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan as a result of the ability to rapidly evacuate most cases requiring renal replacement therapy. The history of wartime renal replacement therapy is reviewed along with the general epidemiology of battlefield acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy. DISCUSSION: Recent literature documents cases of renal replacement therapy performed in and out of theater in support of the current operations. In-theater renal replacement therapy has been provided through a variety of modalities, including conventional hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and both continuous venovenous and continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis. Out of theater, casualties have received both intermittent and continuous hemodialysis at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, whereas patients sustaining burns have undergone aggressive continuous venovenous hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration at Brooke Army Medical Center. SUMMARY: Acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy in wartime casualties is an uncommon occurrence but one with extremely high mortality.

These patients present enormous challenges to the entire medical system as a result of the severity of injury combined with the great distance required for transport to definitive care. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to review and highlight some of the advances in burn critical care experienced during recent combat operations. This review focuses on initial resuscitation, respiratory support, care of the burn wound, and long range evacuation. DATA SOURCE: The authors conducted a search of the MEDLINE database and manual review of published articles and abstracts from national and international meetings in addition to Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center registry. CONCLUSIONS: Fluid resuscitation during the first 24 to 48 hrs after injury remains a significant challenge for all who manage burn casualties. Guidelines have been developed in an effort to standardize fluid resuscitation during this time. These guidelines along with the standardization of burn wound care and continued provider education have resulted in decreased morbidity and mortality in severely burned patients returning from war zones. This system of care for severely burned patients facilitates the transfer of the burn casualty between healthcare providers and facilities and is now being integrated into the catchment area for the Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center.

DISCUSSION: Damage control surgery is now well established as the standard of care for severely injured civilian patients requiring emergent laparotomy in the United States. The civilian damage control paradigm is based on a 'damage control trilogy.' This trilogy comprises an abbreviated operation, intensive care unit resuscitation, and a return to the operating room for the definitive operation. The goal of damage control surgery and the triology is avoidance of irreversible physiological insult termed the lethal triad. The lethal triad comprises the vicious cycle of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. Although the damage control model involves the damage control trilogy, abbreviated operation, intensive care unit resuscitation, and definitive operation, all in the same surgical facility, the combat damage control paradigm must incorporate global evacuation through several military surgical facilities and involves up to ten stages to allow for battlefield evacuation, surgical operations, multiple resuscitations, and transcontinental transport. SUMMARY: Combat damage control surgery represents many unique challenges for those who care for the severely injured patients in a combat zone.

The various levels of tactical combat casualty care are described with emphasis on those levels in which military critical care nurses are practicing. RESULTS: Results of a critical care medical record review is presented to describe mechanism of injury, critical care diagnoses, length of stay, ventilator days, procedures, and complications. CONCLUSION: A vast knowledge of various critical care and trauma processes as well as a wide variety of nursing skills are required to provide appropriate care for these casualties. Critical care nursing competencies, cognitive and skill-focused, required to practice in this environment are described.

To this end, guidelines and formulas have been developed to define infusion rates and volume requirements during the first 48 hours postburn. Even with these standardized resuscitation guidelines, however, over- and under-resuscitation are not uncommon. Two approaches to adjust infusion rate are decision-assist and closed-loop algorithms based on levels of urinary output. Specific decision assist guidelines or a closed-loop system using computer-controlled feedback technology that supplies automatic control of infusion rates can potentially achieve better control of urinary output. In a properly designed system, closed-loop control has the potential to provide more accurate titration rates, while lowering the incidence of over- and under-resuscitation. Because the system can self-adjust based on monitoring inputs, the technology can be pushed to environments such as combat zones where burn resuscitation expertise is limited. A closed-loop system can also assist in the management of mass casualties, another scenario in which medical expertise is often in short supply. This article reviews the record of fluid balance of contemporary burn resuscitation and approaches, as well as the engineering efforts, animal studies, and algorithm development of our most recent autonomous systems for burn resuscitation.

Such events require a rapid response and incorporation of non-traditional partners for disease investigation and outbreak control. The astute application of infectious disease epidemiological principles can promote an enhanced index of suspicion for such events. We discuss epidemiological indicators that should be considered during outbreak investigations, and also examine their application during bioterrorism incidents, an accidental release of an agent, outbreaks of infections that were alleged to have been deliberately initiated, and a model scenario. The Grunow & Finke epidemiological assessment tool is used to examine these historical events and the model scenario. The results received from this analysis, coupled with an understanding of epidemiological clues to unnatural events, and knowledge of how to manage such events, can aid in the improved response and resolution of epidemics.

This insecticide is primarily lost through subsurface and surface drainage from terrestrial areas where it has been applied. Invasive aquatic plants often need to be managed in these receiving water bodies to prevent loss of recreational and functional values (e.g., drainage), especially in subtropical and tropical areas. One insect of particular interest is the chironomid midgeCricotopus lebetisSublette, which may be a useful augmentative biocontrol agent for the invasive aquatic weedHydrilla verticillataL.f. Royale. Exposure of aquatic organisms, especially insects, to fipronil may significantly impact nontarget populations. These studies investigated the sensitivity ofC. lebetisto fipronil exposures ranging from 24 to 96 h. The LC50observed for each exposure interval was 7.26 μg/L (24 h), 2.61 μg/L (48 h), 1.78 μg/L (72 h), and 1.06 μg/L (96 h). The LC90values observed were 47.18 μg/L (24 h), 9.55 μg/L (48 h), 6.45 μg/L (72 h), and 4.81 μg/L (96 h). Behavioral changes were seen at all fipronil concentration levels, where larvae exited the plant and exhibited abnormal behavior, such as restricted movement and lack of feeding. Results indicate that acute lethality occurred at environmentally relevant concentrations of fipronil.

Baseline testing included a subjective history of instability, instability testing by a sports medicine fellowship–trained orthopaedic surgeon, range of motion, strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer, and bilateral noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. A musculoskeletal radiologist measured glenoid version, height, depth, rotator interval (RI) height, RI width, RI area, and RI index. Participants were followed to document all acute posterior shoulder instability events during the 4-year follow-up period. The time to the posterior shoulder instability event during the follow-up period was the primary outcome of interest. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the data.Results:Complete data on 714 participants were obtained. During the 4-year surveillance period, 46 shoulders sustained documented glenohumeral instability events, of which only 7 were posterior in direction. The baseline factors that were associated with subsequent posterior instability during follow-up were increased glenoid retroversion (P < .0001), increased external rotation strength in adduction (P = .029) and at 45° of abduction (P = .015), and increased internal rotation strength in adduction (P = .038).Conclusion:This is the largest known prospective study to follow healthy participants in the development of posterior shoulder instability. Posterior instability represents 10% of all instability events. The most significant risk factor was increased glenoid retroversion. While increased internal/external strength was also associated with subsequent instability, it is unclear whether these strength differences are causative or reactive to the difference in glenoid anatomy. This work confirms that increased glenoid retroversion is a significant prospective risk factor for posterior instability.

AB - A year into the 2003 US-Iraq war, how were adolescents in Baghdad faring? Conflict-related events typically lower psychological well-being; in contrast, investment in and protection of threatened identities should lead to self-esteem striving and, presumably, better well-being. How threatened do Iraqi adolescents feel? Is their self-esteem related to their sense of threat? Do age, religion, ethnicity, and gender alter the link between perceived threat and self-esteem? We use data from 1000 randomly selected adolescents living in Baghdad during July 2004. Iraqi adolescents reported high levels of threat; those feeling more threatened reported higher levels of self-esteem. Social background correlates with both self-esteem and perceived threat, but controlling for social background does not eliminate the relationship between self-esteem and perceived threat. We interpret our results in light of theory and research concerning social identity, mortality threats, and war trauma.

AB - Despite the importance of military leaders in moderating the impact of deployment stressors on unit members, little attention has focused on the training leaders receive in managing unit stress. As part of a NATO Research Panel (Human Factors and Medicine (HFM)-081/Research and Technology Organization Task Group (RTG)), 16 nations participated in a needs assessment survey of military leaders who had returned from an operation within the previous 2 years. Findings from 172 leaders emphasized the lack of training specifically geared for leaders to address operational stress issues for unit members and their families and the need for integrated mental health support across the deployment cycle. In general, most leaders regarded stress-related mental health problems as normal and were supportive of help-seeking. The information obtained here was used to develop a Human Factors and Medicine -081/RTG Leader's Guide on operational stress.

AB - This study was conduced to assess the effects of a one time embryonic exposure to p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene; DDE) on the reproductive development and function in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Embryos were exposed at day one of incubation to either 20 or 40 μg DDE or a sesame oil vehicle control (injection volume=20 μl). Onset of puberty, gonadal histopathology, sperm motility, cloacal gland size, and male copulatory behavior were assessed in adults. DDE accelerated onset of puberty in females and reduced male reproductive behaviors. Gonadal morphology and sperm motility appeared to be unaffected. Results from this study provide evidence that the neuroendocrine system may be more sensitive and less resilient to embryonic exposure to contaminants than traditional measures of reproductive success following contaminant exposure in adults. This study further supports the inclusion of behavioral assessments in toxicity tests.

Typical symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome include flu-like symptoms, insomnia, nausea, imbalance, sensory disturbances, and hyperarousal. These symptoms usually are mild, last one to two weeks, and are rapidly extinguished with reinstitution of antidepressant medication. Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is more likely with a longer duration of treatment and a shorter half-life of the treatment drug. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for the emergence of discontinuation symptoms, which should prompt close questioning regarding accidental or purposeful self-discontinuation of medication. Before antidepressants are prescribed, patient education should include warnings about the potential problems associated with abrupt discontinuation. Education about this common and likely underrecognized clinical phenomenon will help prevent future episodes and minimize the risk of misdiagnosis.

AB - The purpose of this study was to identify levels and predictors of patient satisfaction and develop a conceptual model for dental patient satisfaction in military treatment facilities. Respondents completed 658,443 surveys during 17 fiscal quarters, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2000. The final data set contained 309,261 surveys, with no missing data. Principal component factor analysis was used for data reduction and hierarchical multiple linear regression to assess the predictive effects of the dependent variables on the two independent variables: (1) overall satisfaction with today's visit and (2) overall satisfaction with the clinic. On a 7-point, bipolar adjective rating scale, patients' mean score was 6.53 regarding satisfaction with visit, suggesting that patients are highly satisfied. Patients' beliefs about care received and environment of care were the most important satisfaction attributes. These findings are useful in educating providers about the relationship of consumer satisfaction with the interpersonal experience.

HEV has been considered a military health threat and has been reported in several military environments. This study determined HEV seroconversion (defined by a 4-fold increase in antibody titers) occurring in Thai soldiers deployed to the HEV-endemic areas of East Timor, Afghanistan, and Iraq, as part of the U. N. multinational forces. With an average deployment of 6.4 months, the annualized seroconversion rates after deployments to East Timor, Afghanistan, Burundi, and Iraq were 1.9%, 4.6%, 4.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

AB - We investigated the impact of a customized alcohol-based instant hand sanitizer hand-hygiene regimen in an Army basic training setting. The entire population at the U.S. Army Field Artillery Training Center, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, participated in the 13-week prospective cohort study between January 18, 2005 and April 18, 2005. Two training battalions were randomly assigned to the control group, one to the primary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen, education, reinforcement) and one to the secondary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen). When compared to the control group, intervention groups experienced 40% less respiratory illness (p < 0.001), 48% less gastrointestinal illness (p < 0.02), 44% less lost training time (p < 0.001), and 31% fewer health care encounters (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that this intervention is capable of significantly reducing illness in this setting and has the potential to help reduce absenteeism in the military workforce as a whole.

AB - The efficacy of ultraviolet C (UVC) light (100-280 nm) in the decontamination of three hospital-related surfaces, namely, unpainted/painted aluminum (bed railings), stainless steel (operating tables), and scrubs (laboratory coats), was investigated. Acinetobacter baumannii cells were inoculated (10⁵ or 10³ cells) on small coupons and dried overnight in a class II biosafety cabinet. Drying resulted in ≤50% loss of viability. The UVC fluence of 90 J/m² was observed to be very effective in the decontamination of cells from all metal coupon surfaces (complete killing). However, the same fluence was ineffective in the decontamination of scrubs. The effectiveness of two other common disinfection practices, that is, 15 minutes of boiling or spraying with 70% ethanol, was investigated for the scrubs. Although ethanol treatment was ineffective, the boiling treatment was very effective (complete killing). These results establish that metal surfaces can be decontaminated with UVC irradiation and boiling treatment is effective for scrub decontamination.

AB - Introduction: The U.S. Army 28th Combat Support Hospital (CSH), an echelon III facility, deployed to Iraq at the start of military operations in 2003. Shortly after arrival, it was designated as the hospital primarily responsible for burn care for the U.S. military in Iraq. This report reviews the experience of the CSH with burn care during combat operations. Methods: An after-action review was conducted during a 2-day period after the hospital's redeployment. Results: Between April 11, 2003, and August 21, 2003, the 28th CSH treated a total of 7,920 patients, of whom 103 (1.3%) had burns. Patients included U.S. and allied service members, U.S. contractors, and Iraqi prisoners of war and civilians. Although a CSH is designed to care for patients until they can be stabilized and evacuated, usually within 1 to 3 days, the length of stay for some Iraqi patients was as long as 53 days. Definitive care, including excision and grafting of the burn wound, was thus required for some Iraqi patients. The largest graft completed comprised 40% of the total body surface area. The largest burn survived involved ∼65% of the total body surface area. Eighteen (17%) of 103 patients returned to duty after treatment at the 28th CSH. The mortality rate for burn patients at the 28th CSH was 8%. Shortages of burn-experienced personnel and burn-specific supplies were identified during the after-action review. Conclusions: The CSH provided complex definitive care to burn patients in an austere environment. Predeployment identification of military field hospitals for such specialized missions, with early assignment of experienced personnel and materiel to these units, may improve future wartime burn care.

AB - Relationships among a modifiable situational factor (unit cohesion), prior stressful life events, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were assessed in 1,579 U.S. Army soldiers with no history of contemporary war zone deployment. It was predicted that unit cohesion would attenuate the dose-response relationship between past stressor exposures and PTSD symptoms at relatively moderate levels of exposure. Consistent with this hypothesis, regression analysis revealed that life experiences and unit cohesion strongly and independently predicted PTSD symptoms, and that unit cohesion attenuated the impact of life experiences on PTSD. Some military personnel reported significant predeployment, stress-related symptoms. These symptoms may serve as vulnerabilities that could potentially be activated by subsequent war-zone deployment. Higher predeployment unit cohesion levels appear to ameliorate such symptoms, potentially lessening future vulnerability.

AB - Purpose: Identifying patients at risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important because research suggests prophylactic treatments to reduce risk of long-term sequelae. Method: This review considers results from the lateral fluid percussion model of TBI, ballistic experiments in animal models and analyses of human studies. Results: Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that bullet impacts distant from the brain produce pressure waves that travel to the brain and can retain sufficient magnitude to induce brain injury. Conclusions: The link to long-term sequelae could be investigated via epidemiological studies of patients who were gunshot in the chest to determine whether they experience elevated rates of epilepsy and other neurological sequelae.

AB - This paper describes how a military concept for telemedicine support in humanitarian crisis, the Medical Command, Control, Communication and Telemedicine Special Medical Augmentation Team (MC3T SMART TEAM), was transitioned from a theoretical concept into a functioning, operational entity. The European Regional Medical Command (ERMC) MC3T SMART TEAM successfully tested its capabilities during a military training exercise with the 212th mobile army surgical hospital (MASH). This was followed by successful real-life telemedicine support missions during a planned humanitarian support mission in Africa and then an emergency disaster support mission in Pakistan. While on these missions, the SMART team provided access to the Internet and e-mail by means of limited bandwidth mobile satellite equipment, established a working telemedicine process by introducing the staff to the United States Army's 'Army Knowledge Online (AKO) Remote Consultation Program,' and established a successful connection of the 212th's digital radiography system to the 'Tri-Service Global Encrypted Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and Teleradiology Network.'

AB - Quantifying vulnerability to critical infrastructure has not been adequately addressed in the literature. Thus, the purpose of this article is to present a model that quantifies vulnerability. Vulnerability is defined as a measure of system susceptibility to threat scenarios. This article asserts that vulnerability is a condition of the system and it can be quantified using the Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment Model (I-VAM). The model is presented and then applied to a medium-sized clean water system. The model requires subject matter experts (SMEs) to establish value functions and weights, and to assess protection measures of the system. Simulation is used to account for uncertainty in measurement, aggregate expert assessment, and to yield a vulnerability (Ω) density function. Results demonstrate that I-VAM is useful to decision-makers who prefer quantification to qualitative treatment of vulnerability. I-VAM can be used to quantify vulnerability to other infrastructures, supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), and distributed control systems (DCS).

AB - A note from the editors: This article, and the other articles in this issue of Psychiatric Annals, originally appeared in Pediatric Annals, a SLACK Incorporated publication. Pediatricians are 'committed to the attainment of optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults,' according to the mission statement of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Despite this, pediatricians are sometimes narrowly viewed as specialists who only provide assessment and treatment of 'medical' problems. This view overlooks the strengths and experiences pediatricians have in providing and coordinating services to ease stress and crises in the lives of children, adolescents, and their families. In fact, for a majority of children, pediatric providers are taking responsibility for the management of psychosocial conditions that were historically managed by mental health specialists.

AB - The lessons learned in the care of combat casualties throughout time have been vitally important to the improvement of military medicine. However, often the lessons learned were essentially personal, because the ability to transmit those lessons to other medical personnel was not systematized and organized. In past wars, the transmission of those lessons to other care providers was difficult and often long after the fact. Consultant visits were made and War Medicine conferences were held, but policy changes and actual changes in the mechanisms to provide care often lagged. Lessons learned often were not widely spread until years later. New capabilities in medical communications have permitted the development of real-time casualty care information exchange and rapid policy decision-making. This article describes one such effort.

A total of 263 soldiers completed a survey and participated in focus groups. The model's stressors were deactivation uncertainty, workload, and organizational constraints. The outcomes were well-being and turnover intentions. In general, most stressors did predict the proposed outcomes. That is, with high deactivation uncertainty, workload, or organizational constraints, reservists reported low psychological well-being and high turnover intentions. Commanders and policymakers can use our findings when addressing ways to improve reservists' psychological health and to decrease turnover intentions. Specifically, reservists need more predictability and the needed organizational conditions (i.e., proper workload levels and equipment) while activated and deployed to protect our country.

AB - Introduction: This study evaluated performance after lowering core temperature at different rates while local tissues were either cooled (lower body) or not cooled (upper body). Methods: There were 10 men who volunteered to perform up to 8 cold water immersions (CWI) at combinations of 2 water temperatures (10°C and 15°C), 2 depths [waist (W), chest (C)], and 2 walking speeds (0.44 or 0.88 m × s-1) until their core temperature fell to 35.5°C, stabilized above that temperature, or they requested to stop. They also completed a control trial (120 min rest in 19°C air). Immediately following each CWI and control, cognitive and physical performance tests were performed in cold air (10°C; CAE). Results: Overall, the CWI protocol lowered rectal temperature by 0.3-1.0°C. Mean skin temperature was ∼26°C and finger temperature was ∼15°C during CAE. No statistical differences were observed across trials for any cognitive test. On the physical performance tests, step test performance was degraded ∼12% on CWI trials compared with control, but there were no differences in manual dexterity, hand grip strength, marksmanship, or pull-ups. Conclusions: These results indicate that cognitive performance can be maintained despite mild hypothermia, and that physical performance is related to local tissue temperature, not a moderately reduced core temperature.

AB - Introduction: Refractive surgery, specifically photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), is becoming more accepted in the military environment. Determination of the impact on visual performance in the more demanding aviation environment was the impetus for this study. Methods: A prospective evaluation of 20 Black Hawk pilots pre-surgically and at 1 wk, 1 mo, and 6 mo postsurgery was conducted to assess both PRK and LASIK visual and flight performance outcomes on the return of aviators to duty. Results: Of 20 pilots, 19 returned to flight status at 1 mo after surgery; 1 PRK subject was delayed due to corneal haze and subjective visual symptoms. Improvements were seen under simulator night and night vision goggle flight after LASIK; no significant changes in flight performance were measured in the aircraft. Results indicated a significantly faster recovery of all visual performance outcomes 1 wk after LASIK vs. PRK, with no difference between procedures at 1 and 6 mo. Low contrast acuity and contrast sensitivity only weakly correlated to flight performance in the early post-operative period. Discussion: Overall flight performance assessed in this study after PRK and LASIK was stable or improved from baseline, indicating a resilience of performance despite measured decrements in visual performance, especially in PRK. More visually demanding flight tasks may be impacted by subtle changes in visual performance. Contrast tests are more sensitive to the effects of refractive surgical intervention and may prove to be a better indicator of visual recovery for return to flight status.

We examined 26 d of actigraph sleep data and tested for individual differences in sleep patterns prior to, during, and after a transition of sleeping in garrison to sleeping in a field exercise setting. In addition, we examined whether the individual difference variable of participant age (a continuous variable ranging from 19–29 yr) was related to sleep patterns. Methods: Actigraph data was obtained from 77 cadets participating in a month long military training program. At day 17, participants transitioned from sleeping in garrison to sleeping in a field exercise setting. A discontinuous growth model tested for individual differences in 1) overall sleep time, 2) garrison sleep slope, 3) the transition, and 4) the sleep slope during the field exercise setting. Results: Individuals varied significantly in their overall sleep time, pattern of sleep in garrison, and the degree to which sleep decreased at the transition. The decline in sleep at the transition was related to participant age such that increases in age were associated with larger declines in sleep minutes. Discussion: Individuals display significant variability in sleep patterns that can be detected using discontinuous growth models. The individual difference variable of participant age explains some of this variability. Much of the variability, however, remains unexplained. Future work will benefit from using discontinuous growth models to identify and model individual difference variables such as age when examining response patterns and transitions in data collected in applied field settings.

Rama Purkait developed a method for estimating sex using measurements from a triangle defined by three points on the proximal end of the femur using skeletal material from Bhopal, India. This method was tested with measurements on 200 Indo-European and African American adult femora from the Terry collection using discriminant function analysis to determine if Purkait’s method was valuable for determining sex in Americans. A side-by-side analysis was conducted of Purkait’s 'triangle method' and the maximum diameter of the femoral head to determine their relative value in assessing sexual dimorphism. In the study sample a single variable from Purkait’s method provided 85.5% prediction accuracy, similar to 87% for the head diameter. Combining threshold values for a single variable from Purkait’s method and the femoral head diameter raised the predictability to greater than 90% for both sexes.

Current Department of Defense doctrine and World Health Organization policy question the appropriateness of their use, because the majority of patients require nonsurgical care. We describe our experiences during the deployment of a mobile army surgical hospital in response to the October 8, 2005, earthquake in Pakistan. More than 20,000 patients received care during a 4-month period. An initially high surgical workload quickly decreased while the volume of primary care patients increased, eventually accounting for 90% of patient visits. Our experience supports deploying primary care-oriented units for humanitarian missions.

AB - Introduction: Limited opportunities to study human cognitive performance in non-laboratory, ambulatory situations exist. However, advances in technology make it possible to extend behavioral assessments to the field. One of the first devices to measure human behavior in the field was the wrist-worn actigraph. This device acquires minute-by-minute information on an individual's physical activity and can distinguish sleep from waking, the most basic aspect of behavior. Methods: Our laboratory developed a series of wrist-worn devices, not much larger than a watch, which assess reaction time, vigilance and memory. The devices concurrently assess motor activity with greater temporal resolution than standard actigraphs. They also continuously monitor multiple environmental variables including temperature, humidity, sound, and light. Results: These monitors have been employed during training and simulated military operations to collect behavioral and environmental information that would typically be unavailable under such circumstances. Development of the vigilance monitor, and how each successive version extended capabilities of the device are described. Data from several studies are presented, including studies conducted in harsh field environments during a simulated infantry assault, an officer training course. Discussion: The monitors simultaneously documented environmental conditions, patterns of sleep and activity and effects of nutritional manipulations on cognitive performance. They provide a new method to relate cognitive performance to real world environmental conditions and assess effects of various interventions on human behavior in the field. They can also monitor cognitive performance in real time, and if it is degraded, attempt to intervene to maintain.

Many warfighters are feeling overwhelmed and end up being medically evacuated from theater due to mental health problems [i.e., post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression]. Of a sample of troops evacuated for psychiatric reasons, 21% (106 out of 509) had psychiatric histories prior to deploying to the theater of operations. Most cases were either related to stress (i.e., PTSD, n=33, 310%) or to depression (n=72, 66%). Stress disorders and depression predominate among the psychiatric causes for medical evacuation. This review paper discusses stress theories as they pertain to warfighting, the types of stress and stress disorders most prevalent on modern battlefields, the relationships among stress, psychiatric disease, and cognitive performance, and potential methods to decrease some types of stress-related acute and chronic disorders (i.e., virtual-reality stress inoculation training).

AB - The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command Cognitive Performance, Judgment, Decision-making Research Program (CPJDRP) was initiated in part to prevent/mitigate performance shortfalls associated with cognitive-psychological combat stressors such as workload, fatigue, sleep, and nutritional aspects. An Operational Processes and Cognitive Mapping Focus Team (OPCMFT) was established for the purposes of integrating laboratory-based research into operational environments, embedding metrics into appropriate operational platforms, and providing an operational perspective to research that may veer off pragmatic and utilitarian courses. The OPCMFT's goal as originally formulated in 2004 was to determine operational requirements and test environments for evaluating cognitive performance metrics and models, pharmacological countermeasures, and neurocognitive monitors for the purpose of sustaining warfighter cognitive performance in operational environments (2). This preface first reviews the OPCMFT's major deliverables as developed from the CPJDRP workshop in 2005 (6). Next, a gap/needs analysis of cognitive research products and test and evaluation platforms is presented. Lastly, a summary of each of the three articles--one on the role and mitigation of stress, a second on the development of intellectual ability norms and statistical methods to interpolate an individual's post-morbid capabilities, and a third on a specific measure to assess physiological reactions to cognitive stressors--illustrates how each contributes to the effort to help improve warfighter cognitive performance. The preface authors emphasize the need for an integrated research program focused on the Battle Laboratory (1) with a solid infrastructure and an integration of the operational end-user, human factors, medical practitioners, and research and development expertise.

AB - Network-centric doctrine and the proposed C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) distributions to the individual warfighter require that the cognitive performance, judgment, and decision making of warfighters must be sustained and effectively managed in the forward operating environment, where various physiological and psychological stressors abound, in order to reduce human errors and catastrophic failures. The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) established the Cognitive Performance, Judgment, and Decision-Making Research Program (CPJDRP) in 2004 to direct research to this issue. A Neurophysiological Measures and Cognition Focus Team (NMFCT) was formed to work with augmented cognition investigators and to specifically address the development of neurophysiological measures as potential monitors of alertness-cognitive state in warfighters. The USAMRMC approach complemented the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Augmented Cognition approach, which focused on the detection of workload-related impaired cognitive state, and subsequent modification of information flow through automation. In this preface, the premise for neurophysiological measures as neurocognitive monitors is explained using an example of a neurophysiological index: the oculomotor measure, saccadic velocity. The progress of the NMFCT on the development of a neurocognitive monitor is described, as well as the recommendations of a 2005 USAMRMC/Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC)-sponsored workshop. Awareness of neurocognitive monitoring is discussed, as are future endeavors related to operational testing and fieldability. Four papers are summarized in this Neurophysiological Monitoring and Augmented Cognition section involving technologies to enhance cognitive performance in the operational environment: one on dynamic cortical electroencephalography, two on oculometrics, and one on a spatial orientation enhancement system.

AB - Culture and public opinion strongly influence debates on ethics--and what may be ethically acceptable to one nationality may be unacceptable to others. In military operations, some cognitive performance enhancement technologies are more ethically controversial than others. Of the enhancement technologies, use of psychoactive pharmaceuticals to alter behavior in healthy humans possibly presents the most controversial ethical challenge. Discussion of the bioethics of psychoactive enhancement agents is advisable because their military use is increasing while doctrine for their use remains limited. This paper focuses on psychoactive pharmaceuticals to enhance cognitive performance of military members. The topics addressed include: the use of psychoactive pharmaceuticals within a coalition framework; if ethical circumstances do exist for their use, what are these circumstances in clear and operationally useful terms; and guidelines to aid leaders in making ethically acceptable decisions. These questions should be answered: 1) Is use truly informed and voluntary--e.g., is an individual soldier requesting the medication with full understanding of its primary effects and side effects; 2) Is the medication safe for use in this individual, and safe within the context of the operational environment? 3) Is the use of the medication consistent with its dosage and pharmacological function--i.e., is a sleep-inducing medication being used at appropriate doses, for a specified period, to facilitate sleep; and 4) Have available non-pharmacologic alternatives been fully utilized? This paper addresses a very narrow segment of the larger bioethics discussion: the use of pharmacologic enhancing agents in military members in times of war or national emergency.

Military personnel are required to execute these tasks, and to perform to high levels of expectation. Many of these tasks are complex and demand substantial cognitive readiness, which may optimize and enhance cognitive performance. Technologies are being developed to aid individual soldiers to successfully complete their missions; however, the proliferation of new technologies, coupled with the varying operational missions, make leveraging cognitive readiness a mandate for the achievement of military effectiveness and enhanced overall performance. It is important to have a militarily relevant psychological battery that can be used to assess each individual's cognitive capabilities and appraisals, factors that enhance military operational effectiveness. Assessing individual cognitive readiness becomes particularly important when researchers broaden their examinations of military effectiveness to assess team cognition, team behavior, and team effectiveness. We discuss the theoretical development and the components of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Readiness Assessment and Monitoring System (RAMS). Data from several studies are presented to illustrate the behavioral profiles of individuals in extreme operational environments. Data show how specific factors (e.g., personality, coping) contribute to performance in operational settings (e.g., command and control, chemical decontamination operations). Understanding the effect of cognitive readiness on overall military effectiveness not only has implications for selection, training, and system design, but also provides the basis for the proactive development and sustainment of optimal performance, both in individual soldiers, and in small teams or military units.

AB - Network-centric warfare's (NCW) information-rich systems involving sophisticated sensors, tracking systems, smart weapons, and enhanced digital communications threaten to overload combatants with voluminous amounts of data. It is unclear whether warfighters will perceive such extensive data as actionable information to which they will respond accurately in a timely enough manner. Members of small teams in command and control centers, operating in crew-served vehicles, or simply 'grunting it out' as ground-pounding infantrymen, may be disparately separated by space, but will communicate and be connected by electronic linkages, e.g., radio, text messages, situation displays, or global positioning data. However, team members will also have to remember shared mental models of tasks at hand, pay attention to and share common situation awareness in complex operational environments, perform team cognition and team coordination, and integrate both lower and higher cognitive processes with those of team behaviors. Such exceptional capabilities are required more now than ever before; such capabilities today are far from assured. After two workshops to establish performance metrics for assessing cognitive performance of military personnel in NCW, this preface introduces five manuscripts addressing team cognition and team performance from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. The authors of this preface question if NCW, and perhaps the politico-social ramifications of modern warfare, have already outstripped behavioral scientists' approach to researching team cognition and team performance--expertise that is so crucially needed for combatants on the rapidly changing 21st-century battlegrounds.

Some studies report improvements in information processing while others report decrements or no change. To address relationships between movement, physical exertion, and cognitive performance, vigilance performance while soldiers walked with a heavy (40 kg) load was examined. Methods: Volunteers (n=18) completed six 30-min test sessions on separate days: standing; walking with or without obstacles; while carrying a 40-kg load or no load. Suprathreshold visual, auditory or tactile stimuli were presented during the vigilance task. Dependent measures included accuracy, response time and distance traversed. Results: Volunteers reported higher perceived exertion (p<0.05) when carrying a load and these ratings increased with time (p<0.05). There were fewer correct responses on the vigilance task when carrying a load (p<0.05) or when walking over obstacles (p<0.05). Vigilance performance was superior with auditory compared with visual or tactile stimuli (p<0.05). Less distance was covered when carrying a load (p<0.05), traversing the course with obstacles (p<0.05), and when responding to a tactile, compared with an auditory, stimulus (p<0.05). Discussion: These results indicate walking around obstacles and the exertion of load carriage affect performance on the basic cognitive function of vigilance. Furthermore, they raise fundamental questions about whether cognitive performance data collected from sedentary, rested volunteers are applicable to individuals, including dismounted soldiers, engaged in tasks that concurrently require physical and cognitive resources.

AB - Introduction: Developers of future forces are implementing automated aiding for driving tasks. In designing such systems, the effect of cognitive task interference on driving performance is important. The crew of such vehicles may have to occasionally perform communication and planning tasks while driving. Subjective questionnaires may aid researchers to parse out the sources of task interference in crew station designs. Method: In this preliminary study, sixteen participants drove a vehicle simulator with automated road-turn cues (i.e., visual, audio, combined, or neither) along a course marked on a map display while replying to spoken test questions (i.e., repeating sentences, math and logical puzzles, route planning, or none) and reporting other vehicles in the scenario. Following each trial, a battery of subjective questionnaires was administered to determine the perceived effects of the loading on their cognitive functionality. Results: Considering the performance, the participants drove significantly faster with the road-turn cues than with just the map. They recalled fewer vehicle sightings with the cognitive tests than without them. Questionnaire results showed that their reasoning was more straightforward, the quantity of information for understanding higher, and the trust greater with the combined cues than the map-only. They reported higher perceived workload with the cognitive tests. The capacity for maintaining situational awareness was reduced with the cognitive tests because of the increased division of attention and the increase in the instability, variability, and complexity of the demands. The association and intuitiveness of cognitive processing were lowest and the subjective stress highest for the route planning test. Finally, the confusability in reasoning was greater for the auditory cue with the route planning than the auditory cue without the cognitive tests. Conclusion: The subjective questionnaires are sensitive to the effects of the cognitive loading and, therefore, may be useful for guiding the development of automated aid designs.

AB - Despite the military's captivation with high technology systems, human performance remains the keystone of successful military operations. Computerized, digitized, networked, and even robotic or biochemical performance-enhancement tools can be force multipliers of great value; but they are only as useful as the human designers engineer them, and are only as productive as clever human operators learn to employ them. The military medical cognitive research community, often led by behavioral scientists, is increasingly joining with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Transportation (DoT), Academia, and partnering with small businesses and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to leverage unique, cutting-edge, expert capabilities. Their stated goals include ensuring that military forces are deployed in a state of superb health and are equipped to protect themselves from disease, injury, and the many health hazards that accompany operation of complex military equipment in high-tempo deployments in harsh environments. Future military medical research seeking to improve cognitive performance under stress will increasingly be a product of collective and collaborative efforts, dispersed across geographical boundaries, incorporating ethical considerations, and not constrained by mortar and brick structures.

Various positive psychological states and traits are proposed to reduce the level of fear experienced when facing risk, that join with an individual's core values and beliefs to create a courageous mindset which, bolstered by affirming normative and informational social forces, promotes courageous action. Finally, intrapersonal attribution processes are proposed to influence self-perceptions of courageousness and that, through self-reflection, reinforce the courageous mindset, perpetuating future courageous action.

AB - The purpose of this study was to describe knowledge in managing musculoskeletal conditions among physical therapists in the uniformed services based on their educational background and preparation. A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 182 physical therapists in the uniformed services completed a standardized examination that assesses knowledge in managing musculoskeletal conditions. Physical therapists in the uniformed services who graduated from the U.S. Army-Baylor Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy or had attended a specific continuing medical education course that emphasizes the management of musculoskeletal conditions achieved higher scores and passing rates than their colleagues who had not. Compared with previously published data, physical therapists in the uniformed services demonstrated higher scores than medical students, physician interns and residents, active duty military physicians, and all physician specialists except for orthopedists. Physical therapists in the uniformed services have the requisite knowledge to provide direct access for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. These data may have implications for health and public policy decisions within the military health care system related to the utilization and educational preparation of physical therapists in the uniformed services.

AB - Intelligence analysis is a high-stakes domain that poses challenges to effective individual and collaborative cognition. The design of support tools and analytical pedagogy could benefit from an understanding of how challenges that are reported in other decision-making literature generalize and are manifested in more naturalistic settings. The objective of this research was to elicit challenges for cognition in collaborative intelligence analysis. Two complementary research methods were used: unstructured interviews with 46 analysts and supervisors, and observations of eight teams of military intelligence analysts conducting a training scenario. Interviews with designers, educators, and practitioners in the intelligence community revealed trends in unsupported cognitive work and cultural challenges, whereas observations from a training exercise for army intelligence analysts instantiated other cognitive challenges of collaborative analysis. This study indicates that analytical style (part tradition and part due to individual reasoning tendencies) can result in premature narrowing, difficulty in reframing, and getting lost in the details. The study also illustrates the effects of friction within and across federated teams, how variable tempo can produce inexpert behavior, and considerations for the design of analytical support tools. This work suggests the value of complementary research methods in the study of other domains involving collaborative work. It is likely that these cognitive challenges affect other domains involving collaborative analysis. Finally, this study suggests that the effects of individual cognitive challenges are difficult to isolate in naturalistic settings and should most likely be considered collectively rather than independently.

In Experiment 1, we gauged musicians' and nonmusicians' learning efficiency for meaningful and less meaningful melodies as well as sentences when presented visually or auditorily. In Experiment 2, we tested the effects of the same variables on memory. Presentation modality did not make a difference, but learning-style preference did. Visual learners learned visually presented items faster and remembered them better than auditorily presented ones, and auditory learners did the reverse. Also, as expected, meaningful sentences were learned faster and remembered better than less meaningful ones. However, although musicians also learned meaningful melodies faster and remembered them better than less meaningful melodies, this was not the case for nonmusicians.

Purpose: Are Khmer with a history of trauma who present to a general medical clinic with unexplained physical symptoms more likely than the general population to harbor psychiatric symptoms? Methods: Subjects were drawn from a Phnom Penh clinic and the surrounding neighborhood. All subjects completed the Stressful Life Events Screening Questionnaire (SLESQ) and the PRIME MD. Clinic patients with unexplained physical complaints were compared with neighborhood nonpatients. All individuals reporting trauma during the Pol Pot regime were compared to those reporting no such trauma; and those reporting exposure to domestic violence were compared to those without such exposure. Findings: There is an increased incidence of traumatic events, depressive symptoms, general anxiety symptoms, and panic symptoms in the clinical group as compared to the control group. Survivors of genocide-associated trauma reported more somatic complaints and panic symptoms, while survivors of domestic violence had an increased incidence of depressive symptoms, general anxiety symptoms, and panic symptoms. Conclusion: Clinicians should consider the possibility of trauma-related psychological distress in patients who present with undiagnosable physical complaints.

AB - Information on the mental status of soldiers operating at the limits of human tolerance will be vital to their management in future deployments; it may also allow earlier intervention for conditions such as undiagnosed Gulf War illnesses and Parkinson's Disease. The Army needs a parsimonious set of neuropsychological tests that reliably identify subtle changes for: (1) early detection of individual health and military performance impairments and (2) management of occupational and deployment health risks. Testing must characterize cognitive lapses in healthy individuals faced with relevant operational stressors (i.e., anxiety, information overload, thermal strain, hypoxia, fatigue, head impact, chemical or radiation exposures, metabolic challenges). This effort must also explore the neuropsychological methods in militarily relevant conditions to extend our understanding of relevant functional domains and how well they correspond to modes of testing. The ultimate objective is unobtrusive real-time mental status monitoring.

The objective was to examine the differential impact of information and decision automation and to investigate the costs of automation unreliability. Background: Research has shown that imperfect automation can lead to differential effects of stages and levels of automation on human performance. Method: Eighteen participants performed a 'sensor to shooter' targeting simulation of command and control. Dependent variables included accuracy and response time of target engagement decisions, secondary task performance, and subjective ratings of mental workload, trust, and self-confidence. Results: Compared with manual performance, reliable automation significantly reduced decision times. Unreliable automation led to greater cost in decision-making accuracy under the higher automation reliability condition for three different forms of decision automation relative to information automation. At low automation reliability, however, there was a cost in performance for both information and decision automation. Conclusion: The results are consistent with a model of human-automation interaction that requires evaluation of the different stages of information processing to which automation support can be applied. Application: If fully reliable decision automation cannot be guaranteed, designers should provide users with information automation support or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of raw data.

AB - Objective: The impact of breast cancer is immense for all women, but the literature reveals an even greater impact on women of color and among socially and economically disadvantaged populations. Persistent differences in incidence and outcome are undoubtedly due to multiple factors, but one element in poor outcome may be treatment choice. Those treatments shown to be related to best outcomes are less likely to be chosen by certain groups of women. The effects of economic and cultural factors on breast cancer treatment choice have not been thoroughly explored; these factors must be understood if health care professionals are to intervene effectively to address disparities and improve breast cancer outcomes for all women. Methods: A review of the breast cancer literature was conducted in order to: (1) describe breast cancer disparities in the United States; (2) delineate factors that might contribute to those disparities; (3) assess possible mitigating factors for predominant causes; (4) begin to decide how health care interventions might allay the factors that contribute to disparities in breast cancer incidence and mortality. Results: Breast cancer incidence and outcome disparities in the United States are due to multiple interacting factors. These include information about treatment, different types of treatment, the emotional context of decision-making, and patient preference for level of involvement. Treatment decision-making is complex. Conclusion: Health literacy and level of decision-making involvement, both embedded in social and economic reality, are key components in breast cancer treatment decision-making and may contribute to breast cancer disparities in the United States. Current models of shared decision-making may not be generalizable to all breast cancer patients. Practice implications: Optimal breast cancer outcomes for all women depend on culturally and ethnically appropriate professional support.

AB - Research shows providing students with memorization techniques improve their ability to recall information. Other studies show the human mind has a great capacity for remembering pictorial information. This study tested the effectiveness of a novel mnemonic strategy: the Intuitive Pictorial System (IPS). A pretest-posttest, control group design was applied to three groups based on experience levels. Descriptive and inferential statistics assessed the data to reveal any significant differences between the IPS and traditional training methods. Though the study’s findings did not show the IPS produced performance gains superior to the traditional method, user assessments and symbol recognition performance demonstrated the utility and merit of the system as augmentation to traditional methods. The way the symbols were able to facilitate the recall of uncommon, unfamiliar terms and phrases in a naïve population to a level comparable to highly experienced pilots in one week highlighted the IPS’s capacity to aid in the encoding of information into long-term memory. This information could lead to important innovations and be a valuable contribution to the U.S. Army and other military and civil aviation training.

AB - The history textbook in India and Pakistan has become the site of struggles over national ideology and identity. The outcome of these battles will influence whether discord or reconciliation mark Indian and Pakistani domestic politics and Indo-Pakistani relations. To better understand these ideational conflicts, this chapter enters the theoretical debate on the mainsprings of ethnic and religious conflict. At the center of this debate is the question: How are collective identities formed and what determines their content? Two opposing schools of thought are important in addressing this question. The 'primordialists' believe that communal violence results from incompatible and 'eternal' values that make conflict between certain ethnic and religious groups inevitable and continuous (the 'ancient hatreds' argument). By contrast, the 'constructivists' maintain that even if A and B are hostile to each other today, it does not mean that such hostility must endure forever. A constructivist would also caution that peaceful intergroup relations might be replaced by intergroup conflict and violence under certain conditions. In short, constructivists argue that the collective identities of groups--including states--are not immutable. Rather, national cultures are malleable and may undergo significant change if exposed to powerful exogenous and endogenous forces. Adopting a constructivist approach, this chapter investigates how the production and consumption of 'official' history may reshape or reinforce collective identities in India and Pakistan. Particular attention is devoted to how embedded historical discourse or dramatic discursive shifts may exacerbate or alleviate religious conflict within and between these states. To this end, the chapter focuses on (1) the content and character of historical discourse--particularly the history textbooks at the secondary-school level in India and Pakistan; and (2) the prospects for discursive shifts in both countries that promote bilateral coexistence and, hopefully, reconciliation.

Methodology: Nonclinical Case Study. Page Count: 44. AB - The purpose of this chapter is to advance our understanding of political change, reconciliation, and conflict in post-Soviet Russia by examining historical discourse, particularly the narratives contained in Russia's secondary-school history textbooks. The destruction of Soviet historical myths during perestroika undermined the Soviet Union and led to the triumph of Russian liberals who took command of the reborn Russian state. Surprisingly, the Russian anti-Communists who came to power on the wave of anti-Stalinist and then anti-Soviet denunciations did not--with one important exception--use history in a consistent way to legitimate their power and shape a new post-Soviet identity founded on markets and democracy. The exception was the new Russian history textbook, which embodied the liberal ideology and identity of the new Russian state. Fifteen years later, the decay of this liberal narrative under Vladimir Putin sheds light on the prospects for political reconciliation in Russia, a process that has three important components: the relationship of the Russian people and state to their own difficult history; the relationship of the state and the Russian people to minorities within Russia; and the relationship of the Russian state to several newly independent neighboring countries. The main tasks of this chapter are to explain the movement in Russia to reevaluate the Soviet past in more positive terms; assess this movement's impact on the content of Russian history texts; and evaluate its implications for Russian political identity, democratization, and reconciliation. The chapter opens with a case study on the fate of Igor Dolutskii's controversial textbook on twentieth-century Russian history in 2003, and then discusses what the proscription of this anti-Soviet narrative reveals about the domestic and external factors that are leading contemporary Russian society to reevaluate the Soviet past in positive terms. The last section of the chapter investigates how selective memory and even amnesia can ease social distress and bind a community for developmental tasks, but at the same time weaken a society's ability to overcome the deep mistrust of other communities that is based on historical grievances. Chechnya, the Baltic states, and Ukraine are offered as examples. The chapter concludes with an assessment of how historical discourse is likely to be reshaped under Putin in the near future and what the West might do to influence this process.

AB - In this chapter we present a multilevel, multidisciplinary synthesis of team-effectiveness models and frameworks advanced during the last 25 years. This endeavor was undertaken to collect and integrate current comprehensive models and frameworks of team effectiveness in order to present a more coherent picture of the factors constituting and impinging on teamwork. Specifically, in this chapter we begin by defining the terms team, teamwork, team performance, and team effectiveness. Once these preliminary issues are addressed, we describe a set of criteria utilized to guide our literature review. Our review of the team literature resulted in the identification and subsequent integration of 138 initiatives that modeled or framed aspects of team performance or effectiveness. A representative sample of 11 models and frameworks that typify cutting-edge team advancements are reviewed in detail. On the basis of this research initiative, we advance an integrative, albeit preliminary, multilevel framework of team effectiveness. The advanced framework was designed as a simple yet rich heuristic that reflects the current state of the art within the team domain. Furthermore, we expect that our framework will serve as a departure point for team researchers concerned with addressing the salient features and conditions that constitute and affect teamwork in specific types of teams.

AB - We proposed that issues surrounding job-related self-efficacy, procedural justice, and intragroup conflict are likely to be present in nearly all activations and mobilizations of National Guard and Reserve soldiers. Using an occupational stress framework, we developed a theoretical model for how these variables would interact and impact reservist job satisfaction and well-being. We tested the model using longitudinal data collected from 105 Reservists activated and mobilized after September 11, 2001 for homeland defense. Our central proposition was that perceptions of procedural justice in the early months of the mobilization would have important indirect carry-over effects in terms of Soldiers' follow-on job satisfaction and well-being. Specifically, we proposed that procedural justice, self-efficacy, and intragroup conflict would show a 3-way interaction such that self-efficacy would display a buffering effect only when accompanied by high procedural justice. Results supported our theoretical proposition.

AB - Our applications of latent semantic analysis (LSA) over the last two decades have focused on software that augments problem solving in organizational settings. In the late 1980s, we (Streeter & Lochbaum, 1988; Lochbaum & Streeter, 1989) built an expert-expert locator that was used for many years at Bellcore (now Telcordia) by the staff in a 5,000-person company. Bellcore, a telecommunications R&D company was quite diverse, covering research on rare earth metals to software development for large billing systems. The Bellcore Advisor processed a user query, such as 'expert systems based on natural language processing' and using LSA compared it against work plans of about 500 department and supervisory groups, returning the three most similar groups along with the managers' contact information. Its usefulness derived from the fact that its knowledge of the company was based on materials that were required of organizations in the normal course of doing business. It entailed no extra work on the part of staff members, such as filling out expertise questionnaires and updating them at regular intervals. The Advisor thus avoided the Problem of the Commons, the downfall of most such well-intentioned systems. As computing advances have made possible greater person-to-person interactivity, the focus of our applications shifted. Current work has expanded LSA from passive information retrieval to active monitoring and assessment of individuals and groups involved in online discussions. For example, we have developed software agents that can detect whether a group has reached a consensus solution, as well as when a discussion has lost its thread. Applications such as these and their technological underpinnings form the core of this chapter.

AB - While there has been substantial interest in using e-science and cyberinfrastructure technologies to enable synchronous remote participation in experimental research, the details of such participation are in question. On the one hand, there is a desire to give remote participants the same views and capabilities that they would have as local participants. On the other hand, there are settings where experimental specimens and apparatus are large and difficult to manipulate effectively or view from a remote vantage point. This article argues for more novel forms of remote participation by drawing on exploratory interview and observation data gathered in civil engineering laboratories. It is shown that, while experiments are in progress, the engineers studied focus primarily on detecting and preventing specimen failures, and that their unease about remote participation stems from doubts about the ability of remote participants to detect failures adequately. It is argued that this presents the opportunity to consider novel roles for remote participants that exploit the features of e-science technologies.

AB - The problems surrounding children with special health care needs and disabilities as they grow into adulthood--that is, as they make the transition to a different health care environment--is one focus of this chapter. This chapter also focuses on the ethical issues that affect these children as they transition into adulthood, including health care decision making, self-determination, facilitation of health care needs, sexuality concerns, and alcohol and substance use. Each of these foci are influenced by state legislation, regulations, and policies, and as such the authors emphasize how important it is that adolescents with special health care needs and disabilities and/or their family members become knowledgeable about how these state practices can and will affect them.

AB - In this book, Colonel Thomas Kolditz--a professor at West Point and an on-the-ground military leader--shows how extreme life-and-death leadership skills can offer profound lessons for leaders in any setting. Kolditz explains that his research on in extremis leadership situations, where followers perceive their lives to be threatened, reveals that the leadership lessons and principles in evidence in dangerous settings also apply to leading in business and everyday life. Kolditz describes a variety of high-risk situations that are ideal settings to seek and find great leaders, assess how they might be different, and glean valuable insights for extraordinary leadership in our everyday lives. Through real-life stories of leaders in these extreme situations, Kolditz insists that leaders at all levels can improve their effectiveness. The book is filled with in-depth interviews with such in extremis leaders as chiefs of SWAT teams, mountain-climbing guides, leaders of large-formation skydiving events, the U.S. Military Academy's national champion parachute team, and team leaders in football, wrestling, swimming, and rugby, as well as the first armored cavalry commander to roll his tanks into the fiery streets of Baghdad in 2003. Kolditz challenges us to learn from their experiences and honor their commitment and sacrifices by serving the people around us and leading as if our lives depended on it. This authentic perspective on leadership will help cut through faddish, flavor-of-the-month leadership approaches and make the reader better at leading and being led.

Issue Publication Date: Jan, 2007. AB - Introduction: Pilots typically tilt their heads when executing coordinated banking turns, a phenomenon commonly attributed to the putative opto-kinetic cervical reflex (OKCR). The OKCR is usually described as a reflex, primarily driven by stimuli in the visual periphery, and is important to a pilot's spatial orientation by providing a relatively stabilized horizontal frame of reference. The present paper presents an alternative hypothesis for the observed head tilting seen in pilots. Methods: An archived data set, originally collected for other purposes, contained the head turn, pitch, and tilt of 4 helicopter pilots recorded at 10 Hz as the pilots executed 42 slalom maneuvers in an AH Mk 7 Lynx helicopter under visual flight conditions. The analytic method was a correlational analysis of head turn, pitch, and tilt. Results: As expected, pilots routinely tilted their heads during the slaloms in a fashion typically attributed to the OKCR. Correlations among head turn, tilt, and pitch showed that when the helicopter turned left, the head, presumably to look into the turn, turned left and also pitched up and tilted right. Similarly, when the helicopter turned right, the head, presumably to look into the turn, turned right, pitched up, and tilted left. Conclusions: The head tilting usually attributed to a neuromuscular reflex driven by visual stimuli may be a biomechanical consequence of the head posture pilots assume when they simply look where they are going, eliminating the need to postulate the existence of a novel neuromuscular reflex.

Without the need to perform any aerodynamic computations, the coupled aeroelastic response problem is reduced to one involving only structural dynamics. The results, computed by RCAS and CAMRAD II, are compared against measured results and against each other for three representative test points. The results from the two codes mostly validate each other. Seven more test points, with responses computed by RCAS, to form thrust and airspeed sweeps are evaluated to better understand key issues. One such issue is an inability to consistently predict pushrod loads and torsion moments well, and this is found to be amplified at the two test points with the highest thrust coefficient. For these two test points, harmonic analysis reveals that the issue is due to excessive amounts of 5/rev response that stem from high levels of 5/rev pitching moment excitation. Another issue that concerns all test points is that the phase of the 1/rev blade flapping motion is not predicted well, which reflects the high sensitivity of this quantity that is developed due to having a first flap frequency of approximately 1/rev. Results also show that current force-velocity relationships, used in describing the lead-lag damper, are not satisfactory to consistently yield accurate inboard chordwise bending moment predictions. Overall, the investigation here, conducted with numerous test points, further confirms the methodology of prescribing measured airloads for assessing the structural dynamics capability of a computational tool.

Five different grid models are studied to quantify the effects of grid refinement on rotor-wake resolution. The fine grid model has a total of 113 million grid points and it improves airload predictions compared with the standard grid model for three HART II test cases: baseline, minimum noise, and minimum vibration. The rotorwake positions are well predicted by this fine grid model. The computed vorticity field for a young vortex using the fine grid model is compared with the measured particle image velocimetry data and the results are good. The fine grid model underpredicts the experimental value for the maximum vorticity by 61%. The predicted vortex core radius is 15% in chord for the fine grid while the measured data show about 5% chord length. The predicted swirl velocity is, however, higher than the measured data for this vortex. The results in this paper provide the first quantitative comparisons between the measured and computational fluid dynamics/computational structural dynamics computed flowfield for a helicopter rotor-wake system.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/08// VL - 24 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 21 EP - 21 SN - 07307268 AB - The extensively used military explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely released to the environment during production, usage, and disposal operations. Toxic effects of RDX have been reported in terrestrial and aquatic receptors, but investigations regarding the bioaccumulation potential of RDX in aquatic systems are scarce. The objective of the present study was to describe the toxicokinetics of RDX during aqueous exposure for the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and aquatic oligochaetes (Lumbriculus variegatus) and to compare the amount of RDX accumulation in juvenile catfish following aqueous exposure only, dietary exposure only, and a combination of dietary and aqueous exposure. The toxicokinetics measurements included bioconcentration factors (BCFs), uptake rates, elimination rates, and biological half-lives. First-order, single-compartment models described the toxicokinetics for both species. Uptake of RDX into oligochaetes was relatively rapid (uptake clearance constant [ku] of 5.17 ml/g/h) compared to that in catfish (ku = 1.28 ml/g/h). However, elimination also was more rapid in oligochaetes, with biological half-lives of 0.28 and 1.09 h for oligochaetes and catfish, respectively. Thus, both species had very similar estimated BCFs of 2.1 ml/g for oligochaetes and 2.0 ml/g for catfish. Accumulation of RDX in fish that were fed oligochaetes exposed to an exceedingly high water concentration of RDX was minimal. The present investigation indicates that RDX uptake via the aqueous route is the expected dominant uptake pathway, with dietary uptake contributing minimally to the overall body burden in fish inhabiting RDX-contaminated sites. Because of the exceedingly low bioaccumulative potential and low reported toxicity of RDX, the presence of this explosive in aquatic systems is unlikely to pose unacceptable risks to invertebrates and fish.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/07// VL - 24 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 14 SN - 07307268 AB - Recent laboratory studies show that mixing activated carbon with contaminated sediment reduces the chemical and biological availability of hydrophobic organic contaminants. In this study, we test the effects of varying the activated carbon dose and particle size in reducing the aqueous availability of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the uptake of PCBs by two benthic organisms. We mixed PCB- and PAH-contaminated sediment from Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco Bay (CA, USA), for one month with activated carbon, at doses of 0.34, 1.7, and 3.4% dry mass basis. We found that increasing the carbon dose increased the effectiveness in reducing PCB bioaccumulation. In 56-d uptake tests with the benthic organisms Neanthes arenaceodentata and Leptocheirus plumulosus, PCB bioaccumulation was reduced by 93 and 90%, respectively, with 3.4% carbon. Increasing the dose also increased the effectiveness in reducing PCB and PAH aqueous concentrations and uptake by semipermeable membrane devices and quiescent flux of PCBs to overlying water. Decreasing activated carbon particle size increased treatment effectiveness in reducing PCB aqueous concentration, and larger-sized activated carbon (400-1,700 µm) was ineffective with a contact period of one month. We invoke a numerical model based on intraparticle diffusion in sediment and activated carbon particles to help interpret our experimental results. This model was useful in explaining the trends for the effect of activated carbon dose and particle size on PCB aqueous concentrations in well-mixed systems.

Novel thermal processes based on radio frequency (RF) energy can shorten the heating time and reduce overheating. This technology was explored to produce shelf-stable egg products for combat ration development. Clostridium sporogenes (PA 3679) spores were used as a surrogate to validate the RF sterilization process to control Clostridium botulinum. Decimal reduction time (D value) of PA3679 in scrambled eggs was determined using aluminum thermal-death-time (TDT) tubes. The thermal inactivation kinetic information was then used in inoculated pack studies to validate a novel thermal process based on 27.12 MHz radio frequency (RF) pilot scale unit. Trays of scrambled eggs inoculated with PA 3679 were subjected to 3 processing levels: target process (F0 about 5.3 min), under-target process (F0 about 3.0 min), and over-target process (F0 about 9.1 min). The results of the microbial challenge study showed that microbial destruction from the RF process agreed with sterilization values calculated from time-temperature data measured at the cold spot in the treated trays. A comparison of RF- and retort-treated scrambled eggs showed significant differences in the degree of lightness ( L*) and redness ( a*). RF-processed egg was less brown compared with conventional retorted eggs. Retort treatment of fully cooked scrambled eggs had higher hardness, springiness, and smaller cohesiveness than RF -treated samples. This study suggests that RF thermal processes can produce safe, shelf-stable sterilized scrambled eggs for both military and civilian uses.

The mean lethal concentrations to 50% of a sample population (LC50s), expressed as mg SO42-/L, in moderately hard reconstituted water (MHRW) were as follows: 512 mg/L for H. azteca, 2,050 mg/L for C. dubia, 2,078 mg/L for S. simile, and 14,134 mg/L for C. tentans. At constant sulfate (2,800 mg/L) and hardness (106 mg/L), survival of H. azteca was positively correlated with chloride concentration. Hardness also was found to ameliorate sodium sulfate toxicity to C. dubia and H. azteca, with LC50s for C. dubia increasing from 2,050 mg SO42-/L at hardness = 90 mg/L to 3,516 mg SO42-/L at hardness = 484 mg/L. Using a reformulated MHRW with a similar hardness but higher chloride concentration and different calcium to magnesium ratio than that in standard MHRW, the mean LC50 for H. azteca increased to 2,855 mg/L, and the LC50 for C. dubia increased to 2,526 mg/L. Acclimation of C. dubia to 500 and 1,000 mg SO42-/L for several generations nominally increased mean LC50 values compared with those cultured in standard MHRW.

These fluctuations can significantly affect sound propagation in a night-time boundary layer and infrasound propagation in the stratosphere. In this paper, 3-D spectra of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations due to IGW, recently derived in the literature for the limiting case of large wave numbers, are generalized to account for small wave numbers. The generalized 3-D spectra are then used for development of a theory of sound propagation through and scattering by IGW. First, the sound scattering cross-section due to IGW is calculated. It is shown that the dependence of this scattering cross-section on parameters of the problem (the scattering angle, sound frequency, etc.) is qualitatively different from that for the case of sound scattering by isotropic turbulence. Second, the mean sound field and the transverse coherence function of a plane sound wave propagating in the atmosphere with IGW are calculated and compared with those for sound propagating through isotropic turbulence.

AB - The purpose of our study was to meta-analytically estimate the relationship between actual and perceived fitness, and variables that may moderate this relationship (i.e., gender, age, and perceived fitness measure). Computer, hand, and journal literature searches identified 53 potential studies. On review, 28 of these studies met the inclusion criteria of having a perceived and actual (i.e., objective) measure of physical fitness. Using random effects modeling procedures, we found a medium mean effect size of .38 (N = 33 independent effect sizes, p < .001, Fail-Safe N = 4,654). Moderator analyses revealed that younger people had more accurate estimates of their fitness, and standardized perceived fitness measures had significantly larger effect sizes than unstandardized perceived fitness measures. In summary, men and women of all ages accurately perceived their fitness level, with larger effects evidenced for younger people and for studies that used standardized perceived fitness measures. Unfortunately, because most Americans are either low active or sedentary, their perceptions reveal that they are not fit. Research limitations and future directions are discussed.

Men were selected from either a regional public university (n = 147) or a military academy (n = 283) to represent broad general background experiences. Overall, similarities in the five types of scripts elicited were evident, which are reflective of the cultural components that underlie men's expectations of what occurs in these situations. The influence of background experiences was noted in differences in both the frequency with which scripts were reported as well as the individual content of each script. Modeling analyses uncovered the latent structure for these differences. Suggestions for possible explanations for these differences, such as the role of traditional gender role attitudes, are discussed.

Although bone conduction devices possess several advantages over headphones for some military applications, they are generally considered inappropriate for inclusion in a multi-channel system. The current study tested the feasibility of a multi-channel bone conduction system by measuring the localizability of spatialized auditory stimuli presented through a pair of bone conduction vibrators. Listeners localized a Gaussian noise stimulus spatialized with individualized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The sounds were presented from eight virtual locations on the horizontal plane (0, ± 45, ± 90, ± 135, and 180°) through either stereo headphones or a stereo bone conduction system. Localization performance was found to be nearly identical for both audio systems, indicating that bone conduction systems can be effectively used for displaying spatial information.

AB - In a constructive replication of prior comprehensive tests of situational leadership theory, members of 86 squads of U.S. Military Academy cadets (total of 860 participants) provided data on leader consideration, leader structuring, follower readiness/maturity, follower satisfaction, follower performance, and leader-member exchange. Results of regression analyses and tests for mean differences within follower readiness/maturity level did not yield clear evidence of a predicted interaction among leader style and follower attributes. These results are in alignment with prior findings and suggest the theory may have little practical utility.

Our objective was to determine whether increased ratios of fibrinogen to red blood cells (RBCs) decreased mortality in combat casualties requiring massive transfusion. METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review of 252 patients at a U.S. Army combat support hospital who received a massive transfusion (>or=10 units of RBCs in 24 hours). The typical amount of fibrinogen within each blood product was used to calculate the fibrinogen-to-RBC (F:R) ratio transfused for each patient. Two groups of patients who received either a low (<0.2 g fibrinogen/RBC Unit) or high (>or=0.2 g fibrinogen/RBC Unit) F:R ratio were identified. Mortality rates and the cause of death were compared between these groups, and logistic regression was used to determine if the F:R ratio was independently associated with survival. RESULTS: Two-hundred and fifty-two patients who received a massive transfusion with a mean (SD) ISS of 21 (+/-10) and an overall mortality of 75 of 252 (30%) were included. The mean (SD) F:R ratios transfused for the low and high groups were 0.1 grams/Unit (+/-0.06), and 0.48 grams/Unit (+/-0.2), respectively (p < 0.001). Mortality was 27 of 52 (52%) and 48 of 200 (24%) in the low and high F:R ratio groups respectively (p < 0.001). Additional variables associated with survival were admission temperature, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, International Normalized Ratio (INR), base deficit, platelet concentration and Combined Injury Severity Score (ISS). Upon logistic regression, the F:R ratio was independently associated with mortality (odds ratio 0.37, 95% confidence interval 0.171-0.812, p = 0.013). The incidence of death from hemorrhage was higher in the low F:R group, 23/27 (85%), compared to the high F:R group, 21/48 (44%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with combat-related trauma requiring massive transfusion, the transfusion of an increased fibrinogen: RBC ratio was independently associated with improved survival to hospital discharge, primarily by decreasing death from hemorrhage. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate the best source of fibrinogen and the optimal empiric ratio of fibrinogen to RBCs in patients requiring massive transfusion.

Correlations between actual test data and our nonlinear stress-strain response and failure envelope predictions under multi-axial loading for 12 different case studies are presented and discussed. Although our approach to modeling composite failure ranked high when applied to biaxial in-plane loading analysis, the theory does not consistently capture the inherent strengthening mechanisms that can be attributed to triaxial loading and hydrostatic pressure. It is expected that the incorporation of a strain-based ply-level failure criterion that introduces some form of strengthening mechanism under a three-dimensional stress state would significantly improve the accuracy of our predictions.

JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 53 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1520 EP - 1530 SN - 00411132 AB - Background Refrigeration of platelets ( PLTs) offers an attractive alternative to the currently practiced storage at room temperature since it may mitigate problems associated with bacterial contamination and extend storage lifetime. Refrigeration causes a number of biophysical and biochemical changes in PLTs and decreases PLT circulation time in vivo. However, the effect of refrigeration on PLT hemostatic functions under physiologic and pathophysiologic shear conditions has not been adequately characterized. Study Design and Methods Washed PLTs prepared from either fresh PLT-rich plasma ( PRP) or PRP stored at 4°C for 2 days was mixed with exogenous von Willebrand factor ( VWF) and fibrinogen and sheared in a cone-and-plate viscometer. PLT aggregation, activation, and VWF binding after shear and glycoprotein ( GP) Ibα receptor expression and ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination were measured. Results PLTs stored at 4°C for 2 days aggregated significantly more than fresh PLTs particularly at high shear rates (10,000/sec), and this increase was independent of PLT concentration or suspension viscosity. Further, refrigerated PLTs showed a greater increase in GP Ibα-dependent PLT activation under shear and also bound more VWF than fresh PLTs. However, the GP Ibα expression levels as measured by three different antibodies were significantly lower in refrigerated PLTs than in fresh PLTs, and refrigeration resulted in a modest decrease in ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination. Conclusion The combined results demonstrate that refrigeration increases PLT aggregation under high shear, but not static, conditions and also increases shear-induced VWF binding and PLT activation. Clinically, enhanced shear-induced PLT aggregation due to low temperature storage may be a beneficial strategy to prevent severe bleeding in trauma.

Specifically, 2 markers for type II collagen and aggrecan synthesis (CPII and CS846, respectively)and 2 markers of types I and II degradation and type II degradation only (C1,2C and C2C, respectively) were studied. Preinjurybaseline serum samples and postinjury follow-up samples were obtained for 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 uninjuredcontrols matched for sex, age, height, and weight.Results: Results revealed significant decreases in C1,2C (P = .042) and C2C (P = .006) over time in the ACL-injured group whencompared with the controls. The change in serum concentrations of CS846 from baseline to follow-up was also significantly differentbetween the ACL-injured patients and uninjured controls (P = .002), as was the change between groups in the ratio ofC2C:CPII over time (P = .013). No preinjury differences in the ratio of C1,2C:CPII or C2C:CPII were observed between groups;however, postinjury differences were observed for both ratios.Conclusion: Changes in biomarker concentrations after an ACL injury suggest an alteration in cartilage turnover and joint metabolismin those sustaining ACL injuries compared with uninjured matched controls.

See Isa 74-3006/y Y1 - 1974/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - Amc's first attempt at controlling costs in the reporting area began by establishing monitorship of all reporting requirements. This monitorship consisted of requiring a written justification from the requestor for any new report to be prepared and an annual review of that report to insure its continued necessity. As automation became more prevalent, it was recognized that if maximum savings and efficiency were to be realized, automated products must also be included in the program. The extension of reports management to adp products greatly increased the savings realized from the program, especially in the area of products from standard amc programs, where the same computer programs are run at multiple computer sites located at various amc field installations. An analysis of the savings from management of the adp products, however, brought on the realization that the majority of the costs incurred was not in the production of the products but in the gathering and maintenance costs of the data elements contained in the products. This realization resulted in the final emergence of the amc philosophy of data element management. Tools utilized in this program are: 1) the amc data element dictionary (ded) system which is being adopted this year as the ded standard system for department of the army; 2) standardization of data elements (de) in amc; 3) matrix analysis of de concept for identification of redundant/overlapping adp products; 4) ded management base files (ded, de characteristics, products characteristics) for de management; 5) standardization of de in amc standard systems programming modules.

The three command is organized development are the tactical fire direction system (tacfire), tactical perations system (tos), and the combat service support system (cs3). Tacfire is designed to automate selected, current artillery functions. Tos is designed to assist in certain functions of operations, intelligence, and fire support coordination. Cs3 is designed to assist in selected personnel, administrative, and logistical functions. These systems will face many problems before they become fully implemented. Personnel within the army are seeking and finding solutions to these problems daily; but it is realized that, even when the systems are fielded, there will remain unsolved problems.

First, the desired transfer characteristics of the memory are developed including: (1) a minimum storage capacity of 40,000 bits; (2) random access to the word with a cycle time on the order or 100 ns; and, (3) a single inexpensive removable storage media. Then holography is proposed as a technique potentially capable of satisfying the desired transfer function. Following a discussion of those properties of holography which are applicable to the read-only memory problem, overall system design considerations are examined to estblish a basis for determination of the ultimate feasibility of this technique in the read-only memory application.

Criteria are established for usability and an on-going effort is made to find ways in which to make improvements. Part of this effort is the research and implementation of new data techniques and the refinement of existing techniques. The army is keeping abreast of new developments in the presentation of data and is testing several of these. Readibility standards have been implemented and continual refinement and improvement are expected as a result of continued reserch in this area.

The journey by Mac Donald et al. into the statistical intricacies of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) raises important questions with respect to scientific and clinical clarity. Since the 21 control subjects also had blast exposure, the only difference between those with concussion and the controls was the presence of clinical signs that define any concussion. Therefore, apparent differences on DTI can be attributed only to the concussion injury, not to the blast mechanism. This design is analogous to comparing persons with blast concussions to normal (noninjured) controls and then misattributing neuroimaging abnormalities to the mechanism instead of to the injury.

Appenzeller, Jessica R. Parker, Carolynn M. Warner and Charles W. Hoge (The American Journal of Psychiatry, 2011[Apr], Vol 168[4], 378-385). The April 2011 CME course associated with this article indicated that an incorrect response was the correct answer for question 2. The course was taken down and replaced with a course in which the appropriate option was listed as the correct answer. Individuals who took this course between when it was first posted on April 1, 2011, and May 18, 2011, when the course was replaced, may retake the course so that their performance is accurately reflected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2011-10663-009[/rid].) Objective: The authors assessed the effectiveness of a systematic method of predeployment mental health screening to determine whether screening decreased negative outcomes during deployment in Iraq’s combat setting. Method: Primary care providers performed directed mental health screenings during standard predeployment medical screening. If indicated, on-site mental health providers assessed occupational functioning with unit leaders and coordinated in-theater care for those cleared for deployment. Mental health-related clinical encounters and evacuations during the first 6 months of deployment in 2007 were compared for 10,678 soldiers from three screened combat brigades and 10,353 soldiers from three comparable unscreened combat brigades. Results: Of 10,678 soldiers screened, 819 (7.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.2–8.2) received further mental health evaluation; of these, 74 (9.0%, 95% CI = 7.1–11.0) were not cleared to deploy and 96 (11.7%, 95% CI = 9.5–13.9) were deployed with additional requirements. After 6 months, soldiers in screened brigades had significantly lower rates of clinical contacts than did those in unscreened brigades for suicidal ideation (0.4%, 95% CI = 0.3–0.5, compared with 0.9%, 95% CI = 0.7–1.1), for combat stress (15.7%, 95% CI = 15.0–16.4, compared with 22.0%, 95% CI = 21.2–22.8), and for psychiatric disorders (2.9%, 95% CI = 2.6–3.2, compared with 13.2%, 95% C I= 12.5–13.8), as well as lower rates of occupational impairment (0.6%, 95% CI = 0.4–0.7, compared with 1.8%, 95% C I= 1.5–2.1) and air evacuation for behavioral health reasons (0.1%, 95% CI = 0.1–0.2, compared with 0.3%, 95% CI = 0.2–0.4). Conclusions: Predeployment mental health screening was associated with significant reductions in occupationally impairing mental health problems, medical evacuations from Iraq for mental health reasons, and suicidal ideation. This predeployment screening process provides a feasible system for screening soldiers and coordinating mental health support during deployment.

Routinely, the only radiograph to accompany the patient is the periapical radiograph. This radiograph is inadequate in the detection of asymptomatic pathosis that may be present in other areas of the maxilla and mandible. The military's readiness mission requires that a panoramic radiograph be part of the patient's dental record. In addition to its use for personal identification purposes, the panoramic radiograph is an excellent diagnostic tool that can give the clinician an overall view of the dentoalveolar structures. This retrospective study evaluated randomly selected panoramic radiographs and recorded the presence of radiolucent and radiopaque areas not evident on a referral periapical radiograph. The results of this study found a 4.2% occurrence of undiagnosed pathosis following additional radiographs and clinical examinations.

However, whether in the United States where local emergency medical systems and ambulance services are typically robust or overseas where they may not be so mature, these disasters tend to produce relatively standard and predictable consequences. The timeline for the response and the physical and psychiatric injuries they produce have been well described in the literature, can be modeled, and can prove to be invaluable to medical planners and operators. This article will review selected aspects on how this information helped prepare and oversee medical responders to the plane crash at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, highlighting the command and control aspects of the disaster response. Understanding the setting better facilitates the lessons learned in providing mental health support to this horrific event.

The mean production of natural sand infauna was estimated at between 215 and 249 kcal m2 yr−1, while that of the epifauna on the reef surfaces was between 3990 and 9555 kcal m2 yr−1. With the 36 m2 footprint of a reef unit as a basis for comparison, the 407 m2 of reef unit surface covering that footprint produced 1.62–3.89×106 kcal yr−1 of epifauna compared with 7.74–8.96×103 kcal yr−1 per footprint area for the adjacent sand infauna. There was, however, substantial annual variability in the productivity of the epifauna, based on the recruitment success of Mytilus edulis.

Habitat loss consisted of 57.4 ha of subtidal, soft-bottom habitat. The mitigation reef (0.651 ha of surface area) consisted of 16 prefabricated concrete reef structures, arranged in four clusters of four units each, near Brown's Shoal in Delaware Bay. We estimated benthic secondary production of the two sites using published production: biomass ratios (P:B) as a tool for conducting comparisons of benthic epifaunal communities. Results indicate that the artificial reef provides enhanced benthic secondary production per unit area (2000–12 000 kcal yr−1) over the lost habitat (177 kcal yr−1), but that total production (3 and 77 million kcal yr−1) does not equal what has been lost (100 million kcal/yr). The construction of this reef, while not completely effective in its intended mitigation, provides a benchmark by which to design and judge future mitigation efforts.Copyright 2002 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.

Language: English. N2 - Comparative studies of the energy expenditures of soldiers 18 to 24 years old were made at altitudes of 30 and 4300 m. The men took standardised submaximal treadmill tests at both altitudes. Oxygen consumption, pulmonary ventilation, heart and respiratory rates and CO2 output were estimated at rest and during the exercise and recovery periods. Increased work loads at both altitudes increased heart rates, pulmonary ventilation and oxygen consumption. Increased oxygen consumption for all work loads was observed only after 9 days at altitude and the increases in all values were significantly higher at 4300 m than at 30 m. At 4300 m compared with sea level, increases of 17.4, 85, 82 and 6.9% were observed in pulse rate, respiration rates, ventilation volumes and oxygen consumption. The results indicated increased energy requirements during acute exposure at 4300 m; this might be due to increased cost of cardiac and respiratory activities or to lower efficiency of work.-P. O. O.

A qualitative correlation between the extent of scurvy and the proportion of 14C in the soluble fraction after lead acetate precipitation was found in all 5 men. The soluble fraction was examined by electrophoresis in 0.05 M ammonium acetate buffer and the main labelled compound was identified as ascorbate-3-sulphate. The compound was then found to be a constituent of normal urine and in that of rats and guineapigs. Another metabolic role beyond that of an antioxidant is suggested for ascorbic acid.-D. L. D.

The diets provided no thiamin, riboflavin or vitamin B-6 except that the egg albumin in the third study provided 1.1 mg riboflavin daily. For other details see Absts. 3149-50, Vol. 39. Thiamin excretion fell below 65 µg/g creatinine and pyridoxine below 20 µg/g creatinine in all 3 studies and repletion was fairly rapid on a normal military ration or a control liquid diet. Although excretion of riboflavin decreased in the first 2 studies, when none was supplied, it remained in the acceptable to high range which suggested use of some vitamin liberated by tissue breakdown. It appeared that losses of vitamins depended on amounts liberated from catabolized tissues and that the supply of catabolized protein was more critical for some than for others.-G. F.

N2 - The signs and symptoms of acute mountain sickness are anorexia, nausea, vomiting, headache and insomnia. In previous studies the subjects showed low food intake, negative N balance, abnormal glucose tolerance, changes of electrolyte metabolism and diuresis with loss of body water. In this study, subjects in hard physical training before ascent to 4300 m, with high energy intake continued at altitude and carbohydrate intake not less than 320 g daily, were compared with sedentary, untrained subjects on diets of normal composition. The subjects in training rapidly adapted to hyperventilation and the severity of the disabilities was much less. Food intake was well maintained and weight loss was more than accounted for by loss of body water, both total and intracellular. N balances were positive.-I. L.

N2 - Rats kept at 78oF were given to appetite food with water and glucose solution to drink for 8 days. For the last 5 days they were given insulin subcutaneously in amounts increasing to 10 U on day 5 or had comparable amounts of saline. On day 9 the room temperature was raised to 90o for 12 h. Almost all the rats given insulin died in hypoglycaemic convulsions but none of those given saline died. Time of death was from 3 to 10 h after the temperature was raised during which time none of the rats that died took more than 0.5 g food and glucose. For a further 3 days those not given insulin had the temperature raised for 12 h each night, to 94° on the last 2 nights. Glucose intake did not change at 90o but was significantly reduced at 94° The results suggest that the rat's temperature regulating mechanism had priority over its blood sugar regulating mechanism in the circumstances.-D.

Registry Number: 16984-48-8. N2 - In Baltimore, Maryland, during 1967 and 1968 food was bought at local supermarkets to represent 2 weeks' food and drink intake of men aged 16 to 19 years. Food prepared as for home use was divided into 12 groups and each was homogenized to give composite samples for analysis. Groups were: dairy produce; meat, fish and poultry; cereal products; potatoes; leaf vegetables; legumes; root vegetables; fruit "vegetables" such as peppers, tomato, cucumber; fruits; oils or fats; sugar, jam, candy, salt, vinegar, baking soda; non-alcoholic drinks including water. Tables give concentration of F in each of 12 food groups as they occurred in each of 4 diets. Total daily F intake ranged between diets from 2.09 to 2.34 mg. Most food groups provided 0.5 mg or less and most of the F came from drinks, 1.28 to 1.46, meat or cereals, 0.11 to 0.30 and the least from root vegetables, 0.01 or 0.02 mg daily. It was concluded that in a population given water with F made to about 1 ppm the F intake of young men was not too high for good health.-M. S.

N2 - Male rats of Holtzman strain were pair-fed with a complete diet or a histidine-deficient diet or a diet containing either a quarter, a half or twice the known histidine requirement. Jejunal biopsies from normal men on a 2800-kcal diet of glucose 25, fructose 25, maize oil 30 and protein as calcium caseinate 20%, and jejunal mucosa and liver obtained from the rats, were used for studies of pyruvate kinase (EC.2.7.1.40) and lactic dehydrogenase (EC.1.1.1.27) activities. Histidine exerted a significant stimulatory effect in vitro on human and rat jejunal pyruvate kinase and on pyruvate kinase in rat liver. Other amino acids, especially serine, arginine and aspartic acid, also increased pyruvate kinase activity but less than histidine; imidazole had slight stimulatory action; leucine, valine, methionine, glycine, threonine, proline, tryptophan, isoleucine and glutamic acid had no significant effect on pyruvate kinase. Jejunal and liver pyruvate kinase activities were higher in rats given complete diet than in those on histidine-deficient diet. When successively larger amounts of histidine were included in the diet, there was a progressive increase in jejunal pyruvate kinase. Histidine exerted a stimulatory effect on pyruvate kinase in all the rat tissues tested, jejunum, liver, soleus muscle, kidney cortex, adipose tissue, heart and brain.-G. F. G.

N2 - The following is substantially the authors' abstract. Field tests were conducted at Pusan, South Korea, from January to March 1970, to evaluate the insecticidal properties of Mobam (benzo[b]thien-4-yl methylcarbamate) and difenphos (Abate) for body lice [Pediculus humanus humanus L.] [cf. RAE B 59 1711]. Four hundred volunteers were divided into four groups of 100 men each, and each group was subdivided into two units of 50 men. The test subjects in one unit of each group were treated with 5.6.7 g of dust from a plastic shaker can, while test subjects in the other unit were treated with material from a powder-dusting apparatus, which delivered an average of 339 g per man. The four groups received single applications of formulations of 2% Mobam in pyrax powder, 2% difenphos in pyrax powder, 1% malathion in inert powder or pyrax powder alone. The formulations tested, whether dispensed from shaker cans or the power apparatus, gave average reductions in louse populations of 98.2% for Mobam, 94.9% for difenphos and 92.6% for malathion over a period of 25 days. Lice removed from volunteers' clothing were susceptible in laboratory tests to Mobam, difenphos and malathion but were resistant to DDT and slightly tolerant of γ BHC (lindane). Clinical data indicated that there were no physiological abnormalities attributable to the difenphos or malathion treatments; Mobam was not retested [cf. 59 1711].

RAE B 50 207] were studied by systematic soil sampling and analysis and rearing of field-collected larvae in the laboratory. It was found that the species complement of this breeding habitat in the tropical evergreen forest is specialised and is dominated by Brumptomyia hamata (Fairchild & Hertig). The population is of potential medical importance because of the occurrence of Lutzomyia ovallesi (Ortiz). The principal environmental factor affecting the populations and species composition in the tree-base habitat is that of protection from flooding from rainfall and soil run-off.

N2 - A self-sustaining laboratory colony of Aedes dorsalis (Mg.) that has been maintained at Fort Baker, California, through four generations in a cage 6X4 ftX7 ft high was started by the release into the cage of some 15 000 adults from a colony that had been maintained by induced copulation [cf. RAE B 57 349] for four years. The colony is kept at 73-77°F and 65-75% R.H. with 14 h light and periods simulating the dawn and dusk conditions of a summer day. Sucrose cubes and apples are provided, with guineapigs and rabbits as sources of blood-meals. Young larvae are reared in aerated distilled water containing sodium chloride, liver powder and rabbit food pellets. When they reach the third instar, granulated yeast is added. The original stock of adults yielded 1335 F1 pupae, the F1 adults yielded 1386 and the F2 adults 6500, after which the generations were no longer kept separate.

The parasite was found in the central veins surrounded by circulating host blood cells, with a mild inflammatory reaction in adjacent liver tissue. At this stage, the larva developed a large central tube with a patent lumen representing the alimentary tract which bifurcated caudally to form 2 lateral caeca. The villous lining and muscular coats of the oesopha-geal, post-oesophageal and caecal regions were appropriately adapted to the specific roles of ingestión, digestion or egestion. The gut contained host red cells, cellular fragments and a granular amorphous material similar to host plasma. Inclusions were intact in the oesophagus but broken down in the post-oesophageal region and caeca to electron-dense irregular granules similar in appearance to haemoglobin-derived pigments described by other authors.

N2 - Mice weighing 25 to 29 g were fed freely for 5 to 7 days on Purina diet or synthetic amino acid diets with 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 g tryptophan and 25 mg nicotinamide per kg. In mice on commercial diet, total NAD+ in liver, heart and spleen but not that of kidney varied during a 24-h period with highest levels before midnight. In mice on synthetic diets, liver NAD+ and dietary tryptophan were positively correlated before midnight but not before noon; in adrenalectomised mice liver NAD+ and dietary tryptophan were positively correlated at both times. Male rats weighing 60 g were fed freely for 3 or 10 days on the synthetic diets. Liver tryptophan was independent of dietary tryptophan on the third day and in the morning on the tenth day but was negatively correlated with dietary tryptophan in the evening on the tenth day. On the third day liver tryptophan oxygenase was independent of dietary tryptophan at 0800 h but was positively correlated to dietary tryptophan at 2000 h. At 0800 h on the tenth day tryptophan oxygenase was negatively correlated with dietary tryptophan and at 2000 h it was highest in rats deprived of tryptophan, lowest in rats given 0.15% and with increasing tryptophan intake showed a parallel rise in enzyme activity. At 1000 and 2000 h on both days liver NAD+ was positively correlated to dietary tryptophan, NAD+ was more at 2000 than at 0800 h but combined NAD+ and NADH were not always greater at 2000 h.-C. M. G.

After adjustment they had the basal diet without or with 1% orotic acid for 3, 6, 10 or 12 days. Liver slices were incubated in Krebs Ringer solution containing glucose-U-14C and insulin. Some rats at the end of each feeding period were given intraperitoneally15 μCi per 100 g bodyweight glucose-U-14C and killed after 3 h and their livers and epididymal fat pads were removed for lipid estimation. Activities of liver enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis decreased in rats given orotic acid for 6 days or longer, but those enzymes increased in adipose tissue. Fatty acid synthesis and 14CO2 production from glucose were depressed in liver and stimulated in white or brown adipose tissue. The results suggest that orotic acid increases fatty acid turnover in adipose tissue.-B. A. O.

Registry Number: 7440-66-6. N2 - For 4 weeks a purified diet based on soya bean protein and glucose with 14 or 90 ppm Zn was given to chickens which were then given 10 µCi 35SO4 2- by mouth or intraperitoneally. The chickens given 90 ppm Zn were fed to appetite or restricted so that their mean weight gain was about equal to that of the chickens deprived of Zn. At 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 h after the nuclide was given, 5 chickens from each group were killed; the epiphyseal plate through the hypertrophic zone and the primary spongiosa of the tibia were removed and 35S was estimated. The peak 35S activity in those regions occurred about 12 h after the nuclide was given by either method. Peak activity of the nuclide was significantly less in the chickens deprived of Zn than in groups given enough Zn. Hexosamine content per mg fresh epiphyseal plate was not significantly altered by Zn deficiency. There was a significant increase in hexosamine in the primary spongiosa with Zn deficiency. The results suggest that the metabolism of SO4 2-, an important constituent of mucopolysaccharide in bone elongation regions, is altered by Zn deficiency in the chicken.

N2 - In 3 normal men who took diets containing 20% sucrose or glucose serum triglycerides decreased below values obtained initially when the men were on uncontrolled diets. When dietary sucrose and glucose were increased serum triglycerides increased; values on sucrose were always higher than those on glucose diet. In men on 80% sucrose diet the drug clofibrate 2 g per day produced a variable response; except in one man, clofibrate did not affect the serum triglycerides which had increased as a consequence of sucrose diet. Liver obtained from patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy was examined for enzymes involved in lipogenesis. The studies showed that human liver has a greater capacity to metabolise fructose than glucose and correlated with the previous observation that a high-sucrose diet leads to higher serum tri-glyceride levels than glucose in the same amount.In rats fed on a 68% fructose diet for over 100 days serum triglycerides increased rapidly and remained high during the entire period of fructose feeding; they decreased immediately a stock diet was introduced.

N2 - Male Holtzman rats were randomly assigned to 3 dietary and 2 environmental treatments. The diets were high in fat, in protein or in carbohydrate. The environments were 1620 and 4300 m above sea-level. Growth rate fell with increasing altitude on any diet. The greatest depression was in protein-fed rats. At the lower altitude, both carbohydrate and protein diets produced greater weight gains than the fat diet. Intakes of all but the fat diet were reduced at altitude, and the efficiency of utilization of energy for growth was reduced at altitude on any diet.-W. A. T.

N2 - Daily bodyweights, food and water consumption and urine output were recorded for Holtzman rats, given free access to isocaloric diets with high contents of carbohydrate, fat or protein, at Denver (5280 ft) and Climax (11, 400ft). Body composition was estimated after 24 days. Altitude had no significant effect on growth rate. Body fat was reduced at high altitude on all 3 diets but rats given the high-fat diet contained more fat than those given high-protein or high-carbohydrate diet at both altitudes. The fat-free body water, protein, minerals, total K and chloride and output of urine were not affected by diet or altitude. Rats at 11, 400 ft showed a tendency to a reduction in muscular protein and increase in non-muscular protein. At both altitudes, the effect of diet on the amount of estimated muscular protein was greatest with protein and least with fat. Extracellular water decreased and intracellular water increased in rats at 11, 400 ft, irrespective of diet.-I. E. F.

All animals were housed at 23° and the diet consisted of ground Purina chow. Over 48 h, rats at high altitude ate 12.7 g food and lost 33.5 g in weight. Pair-fed animals at sea-level lost 27.6 g and those at sea-level fed freely ate 41.9 g food and gained 12.1 g in weight. Liver free amino N concentration was similar in the pair-fed and high altitude groups and significantly higher in both than in rats fed freely at sealevel. Liver glutamate pyruvate transaminase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and tyrosine aminotransferase activities were higher at altitude than in sea-level groups. Glutamate pyruvate transaminase was significantly higher in the restricted than in controls fed freely.

With 80% energy from sucrose the serum triglyceride concentration increased, but its subsequent fall in 3 cases suggested an adaptive response. Clofibrate did not affect triglyceride concentration during the normal diet or with 40% energy from sucrose and did not block its increase with 80%. No significant bodyweight changes occurred.

The glycolytic enzymes, fructokinase, hexokinase, glucokinase, fructose-l-phosphate aldolase and fructose diphosphate aldolase, and the disaccharidases, sucrase, maltase and lactase, were measured. In both groups folic acid significantly increased the jejunal glycolytic enzyme activities but had no effect on disaccharidase activity. When folic acid was discontinued in the normal men, the glycolytic enzyme activities returned to control values. In the obese patients, refeeding and folic acid caused a further increase in glycolytic enzyme activities above that seen with fasting and folio acid. In contrast to folic acid by mouth, folic acid by muscle, vitamin B-12 and tetracycline by mouth had no effect on glycolytic enzyme activities.-A. T.

Registry Number: 7440-50-8. N2 - X-ray diffraction powder analysis was used to identify a Cu-Mo compound prepared under ordinary laboratory conditions as a synthetic form of the rare natural mineral, lindgrenite. Weanling rats were used in experiments designed to study the metabolic availability of Cu from the Cu-Mo compound. In rats deprived of Cu or not which were given the Cu-Mo compound as their only Cu supplement, serum coeruloplasmin oxidase activity (CPA) was significantly lower than in rats given a similar amount of Cu as copper sulfate. When given with copper sulfate, a quantity of Mo as sodium molybdate equal to that in synthetic lindgrenite had no effect on CPA. In normal rats but not in rats deprived of Cu, liver and kidney Cu concentrations were reduced when the Cu-Mo compound was given instead of copper sulfate, without or with sodium molybdate. Hb concentrations were repleted more slowly after Cu depletion in the rats given lindgrenite than in those given copper sulfate. The results suggest that Cu in the form of the Cu-Mo compound is metabolically less available than Cu from the sulfate salt.

N2 - Ten young men of mean weight 70 kg walked for 20 min on a treadmill at 4.0, 4.8 or 5.6 km per h carrying no load, or 4 or 7 kg on each hand, or 6 kg on each foot, or 14 kg on the head; the last 3 represented maximum loads for these men. Energy cost was expressed as ml oxygen per min per kg total weight of man, clothing and load. Cost per kg weight carried on the head was 1.2 times expected cost per kg with no load at all speeds. At 5 6 km per h the cost per kg of load carried on the hands was 1.9 times the no-load cost whether the load was 4 or 7 kg; at slower speeds the cost per kg of the heavier load was also 1.9 times the no-load cost, but that of the smaller load was only 1.4 times. The cost per kg of load carried on the feet at the 3 speeds was 4.2, 5.8 and 6.3 times the no-load cost. The limiting factor in carrying heavy loads on the head and probably also on the hands does not appear to be the energy cost but rather the mechanical load tolerated by the muscles; but for loads on the feet the maximum oxygen uptake was approached and could be limiting.-D.

N2 - Three normal young men took for 17 days a diet supplying 2800 kcal, 25% protein and 15% maize oil; for the first 9 days 60% of the total energy came from glucose, for the next 8 days from sucrose and after that a carbohydrate-free diet with 25% protein and 75% fat was eaten for 1, 2 or 9 days. Jejunal biopsy specimens were taken. In the 3 men fructokinase and fructose-l-phosphate aldolase increased on the sucrose diet while hexokinase and glucokinase fell and fructose diphosphate aldolase was unchanged. All enzyme activity fell with the change to the carbohydrate-free diet and the major part of the rise and fall of the glycolytic enzymes occurred in one day. P. W.

Registry Number: 9001-42-7, 57-48-7, 37288-39-4. N2 - Studies were made on 4 normal white men aged from 19 to 23 to find the time required for adaptive changes in jejunal sucrase and maltase activities when dietary carbohydrate was changed from glucose to sucrose, sucrose to carbohydrate-free diet and glucose to fructose. The time required for the increases and decreases in jejunal disaccharidase activity was about 2 to 5 days; there was no further change thereafter even when 80% sucrose was taken for 9 weeks. It is suggested that this time response is similar to the estimated time for intestinal epithelial cell turnover in the small intestine of man and that the changes in disaccharidase activity produced by changes in dietary sugar are due primarily to an effect on the crypt cell; thus, as crypt cells divide and migrate up to the tip of the villus the effect manifests itself to an increasing extent.-G.

N2 - Studies were with duodenum, jejunum and ileum from 6 groups each of 4 male rats of Holtzman strain starved for 3 days. One group was killed after fasting and the remaining 5 groups were given diets with 68% sucrose, fructose, glucose or galactose or 85% casein, respectively, for 3 days. Galactokinase, galactose-l-phosphate uridyltransferase, uridine diphosphate galactose 4-epimerase and galactose dehydrogenase were estimated in different parts of the small intestine. In the jejunum, galactose produced the greatest increase in enzyme activity; fructose and sucrose had effects intermediate between galactose and glucose and casein produced a greater increase in activity than fasting but less than the sugars. The jejunum was the most active site in the galactose-fed rats; that coincides with the finding that the jejunum is the most active site of absorption of monosaccharides in the small intestine (Crane and Mandelstam, Title 4211, Vol. 31).-G.

The enzymes studied in jejunum of rats were fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.3), hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), fructose-l-phosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.7), fructose-1, 6-disphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) and aldose reductase (EC 1.1.1.21). Dietary fructose had a specific adaptive effect on fructokinase and fructose-l-phosphate aldolase, glucose exerted its effect on hexokinase and glucokinase. A meal of casein for fasting rats caused an unspecific increase of all the jejunal glycolytic enzymes studied. Enzyme changes in jejunum generally reflected those in liver; but the ratio of fructose-1, 6-disphosphate to fructose-l-phosphate aldolases in liver was close to 1 on all diets but in jejunum responded to diet and was usually less than 1.

N2 - In an attempt to correlate disaccharidase activity with clinical and biochemical states, and to discover whether improvement in enzyme activity accompanied clinical cure in tropical sprue, 85 patients in whom this disease had been proved and who showed lactase deficiency were compared with 28 others who had similar symptoms, but in whom the intestine was normal histologically, and the persistence or absence of disaccharidase activity after clinical cure was studied. Comparison of the 2 groups showed that lactase deficiency was present in the cured patients with tropical sprue 3 times as often as in the control group. A study of 19 sprue patients taken sequentially, examined before and during treatment, showed that 75% were still lactase-deficient after a mean follow-up time of 11 months.-L. L.

N2 - American personnel resident in Puerto Rico who developed symptoms suggestive of tropical sprue were investigated in detail with particular reference to folate status, erythropoietic morphology and jejunal crypt cell morphology. In those with untreated tropi-cal sprue, increasing severity of megaloblastosis was associated with a fall in serum folate and vitamin B12 values, a fall in red cell count and a rise in mean corpuscular Hb concentration. There was a good correlation between the degree of megaloblastosis and crypt cell abnormalities. Treatment with vitamin B12 or folic acid improved crypt cell morphology but it did not return to normal even when the plasma folic acid clearance rate was normal. In nutritional folate deficiency and pernicious anaemia, crypt cell changes were very slight in the presence of gross marrow changes. In early tropical sprue folate deficiency may cause megaloblastosis but does not initiate jejunal crypt cell changes.-J. F. A.

N2 - For 8 days 8 healthy trained men 19 to 21 years old had a diet supplying 3230 kcal then for 10 days energy intake was restricted to 420 kcal daily from carbohydrate alone with deionised water to drink, while half the men had not and half had a mineral supplement. Finally they were rehabilitated with the original 3230-kcal diet for 8 days. Physical activity throughout was kept at 3200 kcal. During restricted feeding the groups without and with mineral supplement lost 562 and 410 g per man per day, respectively 8 and 5.9% of their initial weight. During the first 4 days of refeeding they gained 3.36 and 1.33 kg per man but lost 1.19 and 0.64 kg per man on the last 4 days. Men without supplement lost 1198 g more water while restricted than those with and had highly negative water balances except for the first 2 days. Mineral supplementation reduced water deficits and hypohydration and prevented abnormal encephalograph tracings.-D. W. H. S.

N2 - The intravenous injection of 200 or 400 mg fructose into anaesthetised rats led to a prompt increase in hepatic α-glycerophosphate concentration, but it returned to control levels within 20 min. From the plasma fructose content the fall in α-glycerophosphate cannot be due to a lack of substrate for fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.3). The changes in hepatic pyruvate concentration after intravenous fructose mirrored those for α-glycerophosphate. Glucose injection did not lead to an early increase in hepatic α-glycerophosphate and 20 min after injection the concentration was nearly twice the control values. The results indicate that the effects of fructose on hepatic fatty acid metabolism cannot be related to sustained increases in α-glycerophosphate concentration. They also demonstrate that in certain conditions the hepatic α-glycerophosphate concentrate may be greater after glucose than after fructose administration.

N2 - Seven normal white male volunteers were given isocaloric liquid diets in which specific sugars were included and their effect on jejunal disaccharidase activity was studied. The sugars tested were sucrose, maltose, lactose, and the products of their hydrolysis glucose, fructose and galactose. In all subjects dietary sucrose, as compared with glucose, significantly increased jejunal sucrase and maltase activities but not lactase; the sucrase: lactase and maltase: lactase ratios increased significantly. In 2 of the men fructose gave results similar to those with sucrose. In one who received lactose, galactose and maltose, those sugars, compared with glucose, did not increase disaccharidase activity. It is concluded that fructose is the active principle in sucrose molecule.-G. F. G.

N1 - Accession Number: 19691402702. Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: not specified. N2 - Total whole blood amino acids in normal men and all major individual blood amino acids with the single exception of citrulline were found to display a circadian periodicity characterized by peak values between 1200 and 2000 h and lowest values between 0400 and 0800. Increases and decreases in total protein content of an isocaloric diet did not affect amino acid periodicity. In addition, the ingestion of a large protein load at 0800 h, a time of rising whole blood amino acid concentration, resulted in a small but significant additional increase, whereas an identical protein load eaten at 2000 h did not interfere with the decrease in amino acid concentration normally seen between 2000 and 0400 h. An acute period of physical exercise did not affect blood amino acid concentrations. A 12-h shift in the sleep-wakefulness cycle in normal men resulted in a rapid reversal of the normal circadian periodicity of blood amino acids, so that peak values were at 0400 h, rather than at 1200 to 2000 h as in subjects on a normal routine. The rhythmicity of blood amino acids could be dissociated from those of body temperature, urine volume and Na and K excretion. Blood amino acid periodicity may be influenced significantly by exogenous synchronisers, although it is likely that the rhythms are generated by unknown endogenous signals.

N2 - Protein metabolism in liver tissue of hibernating, arousing and normothermic ground squirrels, Citellus tridecemlineatus, was assessed by measurement of alanine-U-14C utilization by liver slices, incorporation of methionine-methyl-14C into protein by microsomal preparations and measurement of arginase activity in liver homogenates. Measurements were made at 6o and 37°C. In comparison to tissue of normothermic animals, protein synthesis from methionine and lipogenesis from alanine were lower in tissue of hibernating and arousing animals when measured at 37o whereas no change was observed at 6o; incorporation of alanine into glycogen was increased in hibernating animals at 6° and 37°. In comparison to hepatic tissue of hibernating animals, oxidation of alanine to CO was increased in hepatic tissue of arousing and normothermic animals at 6o and 37°; arginase activity was increased in tissue of arousing animals at 6o and 37° and in normothermic animals at 37°.

Birds were given the diets for 3 or 4 weeks and then killed. On the cholesterol-free diets plasma lipid was significantly higher on MCT than on maize oil and liver cholesterol was significantly lower on MCT than on maize or coconut oil. The plasma-liver cholesterol pool was not affected by MCT. On the cholesterol-supplemented diets liver fat and cholesterol were significantly lower on MCT and the plasma-liver cholesterol pool was smaller. In liver slices cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis from acetate-1-14C was greater after MCT feeding and the increased acetate incorporation represented fatty acid synthesis.

Compared to the serum at a low altitude that at a high altitude had decreased contents of leucine, lysine, valine and threonine, a decreased ratio of total essential to total non-essential amino acids, increased contents of glutamic acid and the nitrogenous metabolites taurine and urea and a slightly increased water content. The changes in serum free amino acid and nitrogenous metabolite contents at high altitudes were similar to those observed in protein-deficient persons as described in Abst. 4533, Vol. 33 and by other workers, but the protein intake of the men in the present study was well above minimum requirements. It was thought that the changes in serum nitrogen components at high altitude were due to changes in protein metabolism which affected protein utilisation.-S. D.

N2 - A paper presented at the 2nd International Conference on Aerobiology (Airborne Infection) held at Chicago on 29-31 Mar., 1966. Tests were prompted by the assumption that observations on monkeys and dogs [5, 2574] exposed in a coccidioidomycosis endemic area might be compared with observations on animals receiving known experimental respiratory doses, thereby resulting in a valid estimation of the infectious dose of Coccidioides immitis received by man in nature. Animals exposed during Oct. 1963-Oct. 1964 in open-air pens (34 monkeys several ft. above ground, 50 dogs at ground level) were removed to the lab if they showed clinical signs of infection. Skin tests, immunodiffusion precipitin tests, and thoracic radiographs were performed regularly on all animals. Of 5 naturally infected monkeys all became complement-fixation positive, 3 developed precipitin titres, 2 showed histological signs of C. immitis infection in the lungs, none showed clinical signs, and none gave positive cultures. Ten intratracheally inoculated control monkeys and monkeys infected by aerosol developed more serious infections. Of 29 naturally infected dogs 20 were positive in skin tests, 22 showed positive serological titres, 18 showed histological signs of pulmonary infection, and 3 gave positive cultures from the lungs; 7 showed clinical signs of infection but apparently recovered by the end of the expt. and 22 were subclinical cases. Disease amongst dogs inoculated intratracheally was less extensive. Most infections were diagnosed during Nov.-Mar. C. immitis could not be isolated from the air but was cultured 4 times from soil near or in the pens. A discussion of the results leads to the conclusion that natural infection resulted from very small doses, viz. 10 or fewer arthrospores in the monkeys and 10--> 100 in dogs. The 60% subclinical infection in infected human subjects is compared with the 100% in monkeys and 70% in dogs.

N2 - The quantitative importance of the inhibition of hepatic fatty acid oxidation for the pathogenesis of ethanol fatty liver has been investigated in perfused rat livers. Advantage has been taken of the fact that octanoate is poorly esterifled in rat liver; by using octanoate the effects of ethanol on hepatic fatty acid esteriflcation can be separated from effects on fatty acid oxidation. Comparison of the effect of ethanol perfusion on the metabolism of octanoate-1-14C and palmitate-l-14C indicated that ethanol decreased oxidation to CO2 for both acids. Unlike that of palmitate, inhibition of the oxidation of octanoate to CO2 did not lead to an increase in the recovery of 14C in the liver. Ethanol inhibition of CO2 production from fatty acids did not of itself lead to accumulation of fatty acids in the liver.

N2 - Healthy male military volunteers, aged 18 to 24 years, were distributed into 3 groups of 8 by age, bodyweight and physical fitness scores. Four members of each group remained sedentary and the others were put on a physical conditioning programme. All groups were maintained at sea-level for 7 days and given a military dehydrated diet supplemented with 240 g canned fruit, 240 g milk, 200 g orange or tomato juice, one package of dry cereal and 2 doughnuts which provided a total daily protein, fat, carbohydrate and energy intake of 157.4, 103.4 and 431.0 g and 3263 kcal, respectively. One group was transferred to 1610 m and 3475 m for successive 7-day periods then taken to 4300 m and kept there for 28 days. Another group was transferred directly to 4300 m for 28 days. The last group was kept at sea-level for a further 28 days. The diet was poorly accepted by both groups at 4300 m and after 11 days for the group taken by stages and after 18 days for the other group it was replaced by diets of normal American foods providing daily 93.2 g protein, 138.0 g fat, 422.9 g carbohydrate and 3307 kcal. Food and fluid intake, urinary and faecal N and fluid output were estimated throughout. The mean daily intakes per man during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks at 4300 m were 2120, 1962, 2360 and 2169 kcal for the group previously kept at 1610 and 3475m and 2063, 1764, 1765 and 2146 kcal for the group taken directly to that height. The mean daily intake per man of the group kept at sea-level over the 28 days was 1918 kcal. The mean daily protein intakes per man during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks at 4300m were 73.5, 63.2, 77.2 and 65.1 g for those taken to the height by stages and 60.2, 52.2, 55.9 and 76.8 g for those taken directly to the height and the mean for subjects at sea-level was 67.9 g. The average amounts of protein consumed per kg bodyweight during the 28-day period were 1.00, 0.91 and l.02g for the 3 groups. Mean bodyweight losses for men taken to 4300m by stages were 1.35, 0.53, 0.73 and 0.05 kg during the 4 weeks and in those taken to 4300 m directly 1.64, 1.03, 0.64 and 0.49 kg, and at sea-level 1.60 kg. The average daily N balances for the 4 weeks at 4300m were +0.6, -2.1, -0.6 and -0-8 g for those taken to the height by stages and -2.0, -4.2, -2.0 and -0.5 g for those taken directly. The group at sea-level had a mean daily balance of -0.3 g. Fluid intakes, including metabolic water, of subjects of both groups at 4300 m were reduced from the 8th to 21st day and fluid output increased after the 7th day resulting in negative fluid balance after the 1st week. Subjects at sea-level increased their fluid intake progressively and were in positive fluid balance throughout. After 28 days all subjects were kept at sea-level for a further 6 days when energy, protein and fluid intakes of subjects who had been at 4300 m increased, N balances became positive but fluid balances were still negative. Subjects who had been at 4300 m made a mean bodyweight gain of 1.11 to 1-.5 kg during this period. In all groups there were no significant differences between sedentary and exercised subjects. C. M.

N2 - Changes in body composition were studied in 6 healthy men 21 to 52 years old who fasted for 10 days with fluid available to appetite. The mean loss of bodyweight, 7.30 kg, was densitometrically partitioned into a loss of 3.46 kg fat and 3.84 kg fat-free body mass including a loss of 0.77 kg dry protein. A nomogram described by Chinn and Alien (U.S. Army Med. Res. Nutrit. Lab. Rep. 248, July 1960) showed losses of fat adequately but excretion of K and creatinine or 40K counting exceeded densitometric estimates of the dry protein compartment by 22 and 31 %, respectively. Triceps and scapula skin folds decreased most, 24.1 and 21.6%, while extremity girths decreased from 9.8 to 3.2% with circumferences of waist and buttocks diminishing by 5.8%. Volumes of blood, plasma and red blood cells fell significantly. During refeeding for 40 days bodyweight returned to normal. Estimation of total body water with deuterium oxide was unsatisfactory during starvation.

N2 - The rate and magnitude of production of 14CO2 from retinoic acid-15-14C injected into rats deprived of retinol showed rapid decarboxylation. The initial rate of decarboxylation at C-15 is 3 times that at C-14 of retinoic acid. About 14% of the injected dose was recovered in CO2 from retinoic acid-15-14C and 7% from retinoic acid-14-14C after 4 h. Only 0.8% was found in CO2 when retinoic acid-6, 7-14C was injected. The recovery of radioactivity in the urine from -6, 7-14C and -14-14C labelled compounds, about 24% of that injected, suggests that the ring portion of retinoic acid is being excreted at the same rate as the isoprenoid side chain of retinoic acid. The recovery of the -15-14C label in the urine is less than that of the other two compounds because of the rapid decarboxylation at C-15.

N2 - In the thermal method for estimating fat an inverted hot plate is suspended over the sample and rendered drippings fall through a funnel into a glass tube; the fat column is measured as percentage fat. Minced meat containing 14 to 29% fat was analysed by this method and the AOAC method. The thermal method gave smaller values and successive mincing increased the difference. There were good correlations between the methods and the thermal extraction value, y, may be calculated from the equation y = 0.002 X4+0.137 x3-4122 x2+54.432 x-253.9, where x is the solvent extraction value. The thermal method takes 15 min and is considered valuable. Mincing once through 3/4-in. holes and twice through 1/3-in. holes is best.-A. H.

N2 - Five experiments were on Holtzman rats weighing between 150 and 200 g. Food and water were supplied ad libitum. The basal diet had vitamin-free casein 20, L-cystine 0.3, vitamin mixture (NBC) 2.2, nonnutritive fibre 4, salt mixture (USP XIV) 4, maize oil 2, glucose 55.5 and fat supplement 12%. All diets contained 14% lipid, as maize oil, coconut oil or medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). The cholesterol-supplemented diets contained 2% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid at the expense of glucose. Experiments lasted for 2 to 3 weeks and rats given maize oil served as controls. The MCT-supplemented, cholesterol-free diet depressed plasma and liver total lipids and cholesterol when compared with maize oil diets. In rats on cholesterol-containing diets, plasma cholesterol was not influenced by dietary MCT, but liver cholesterol was significantly less than in animals on maize oil. Cholesterol synthesis from acetate-1-14C was lower in liver slices of rats that consumed MCT than in similar preparations from control rats. Studies of fatty acid carboxyl-labelling from acetate-l-14C and the conversion of palmitate-l-14C to C18 acids by liver slices showed that chain-lengthening activity is greater in the liver tissue of rats given MCT than in that of animals fed on maize oil. The hepatic fatty acid desaturation mechanism, evaluated by measuring the conversion of stearate-2-14C to oleate, was enhanced by MCT. Adipose tissue of rats fed on MCT converted acetate-l-14C to fatty acids much faster than did tissue from animals on maize oil. It has been proposed that the greater incorporation of acetate into fatty acids by the adipose tissue of rats on MCT represents synthesis of fatty acids and not chainlengthening activity.-I. D. D.

N2 - Male Holtzman rats were starved for 48 h, then given either a stock diet or one with 70% of the energy as glucose or fructose for 48 h. Serum and liver lipids, liver pyruvate, malate and acetylcoenzyme A, and liver frucetokinase, glucokinase and hexokinase activities were estimated after that time. Rats given fructose had higher serum and liver triglycerides, liver pyruvate, acetyl-CoA and malate than the other groups. The conversion of fructose-6-14C to fatty acids by incubated liver slices was greater for animals given glucose or fructose than for controls. In all groups more fructose-6-14C than glucose-6-14C was incorporated into fatty acids. Liver fructokinase activity was greater than that of glucokinase or hexokinase in all groups. It is concluded that the differential effect of diet depends on the higher rate of formation of acetylCoA from fructose than from glucose, which could be accounted for by the difference in activity between the glucose and fructose phosphorylating enzymes in rat liver.-P.

Some rats were killed immediately, but others were maintained at either 25° or 5°C for up to 6 weeks. The rats exposed to cold grew much less than controls but had equal liver stores of vitamin A. However, it could be shown that the amount of vitamin A removed from the liver per unit weight gain was greater in the cold-treated rats. Administration of 0 1% thiouracil in the diet abolished this difference without affecting the total liver reserve of vitamin A. Cold-treated rats required at least 20 times more retinoic acid than controls to maintain growth and survival, and cold stress increased their requirement for vitamin A. J. B. B.

N2 - Serum-precipitating antibodies to several dietary proteins, raw whole milk, crude rice flour, crude wheat flour, gluten and gliadin, were sought in patients with and without tropical sprue. Serum from 56 patients with untreated tropical sprue, 55 after treatment for tropical sprue, 9 with non-specific diarrhoea and 104 healthy controls was studied; of the subjects 169 were Puerto Rican. The serum of 21 untreated patients reacted with one or more dietary antigens but there was no correlation between the presence of precipitins and either the severity or the duration of the illness. Milk precipitins were most commonly encountered and none of the group had precipitins to gliadin. When 30 of the 56 subjects were treated the serum became negative after 1 week; 14 patients had had precipitins to milk and were given vitamin B12 or a gluten-free diet. Of the 55 patients studied after treatment 10 had precipitins; they had been treated for over a year but still had persistent steatorrhoea. Seven of the 10 had been given a combination of drugs; 2 had folic acid alone and 1 had tetracycline. Of the 9 people with non-specific diarrhoea 1 had precipitins to milk. Of the 104 healthy adults 5 had precipitins, 3 to milk, 1 to wheat flour and 1 to gliadin; 8 of the controls drank little or no milk as it induced nausea, bloating or diarrhoea but their serum was negative for precipitins, including milk.-P.

Registry Number: 56-81-5, 9005-79-2, 9004-10-8, 57-50-1. N2 - Groups of male Holtzman rats, weighing 290 to 310 g, were kept at 5o or 25°C and either fed freely for 4 days, starved for 4 days, or starved for 4 days and then fed for 4 days on a diet of crude casein 15, sucrose 78, maize oil 3, USP salt mixture XIV 4% and a complete vitamin mixture. After fasting or refeeding, certain rats from each group were given an intraperitoneal injection of glucose-U-14C 5 µCi, 400 mg per 100 g bodyweight; 14CO2 was collected at hourly intervals for 4 h and assayed by scintillation counting. The animals were decapitated, their livers were removed and samples of glycogen and lipid fractions were tested for radioactivity. The remaining rats in each group received intraperitoneal injections of unlabelled glucose 400 mg per 100 g bodyweight and were decapitated 4 h later. Liver and epididymal fat pads were excised and 100-mg samples of each were incubated for 3 h in Krebs Ringer bicarbonate solution with glucose -U-14C and insulin. Fasting at 5° was found to produce a sharper decline in bodyweight than fasting at 25°, and refeeding produced a more rapid regain at 25o than at 5°. The refed animals had a higher food intake on refeeding than the controls. Fasting caused a significant decrease in liver size, reversed by refeeding. The water content of the liver decreased during fasting, but was not regained during refeeding. Liver lipid and triglyceride showed large increases when starved animals were refed: to 5 times those of the non-fasted controls at 25° and to twice those of the non-fasted controls at 5o. Liver glycogen in starved rats fell to about half the control level, but its specific activity was increased tenfold. In the refed group the specific activity returned to normal. The specific activity of the lipid components was depressed ten- to twenty-fold by fasting; in the refed animals it generally returned to normal, although that of the triglyceride fraction of the refed animals at 25o was 4 times that in controls. The rate of conversion of glucose-U-14C to 14CO2 in vivo was reduced by fasting, restored by refeeding, and doubled by exposure to cold. The oxidation of glucose-U-14C to 14CO2 in vitro by liver or white fat was depressed 40 to 70% by exposure of the animals to cold. The incorporation in vitro of label into liver glycogen was increased about threefold by cold, whereas that into adipose tissue was decreased about threefold. Fasting also had the effect of reducing 14CO2 output in vitro, and starved rats incorporated less label into glycogen and fatty acids. Refeeding brought the values back towards control levels. Livers from refed animals converted more glucose to glyceride glycerol than those from nonfasted controls.-C. J. B.

N2 - The body specific gravities of 14 men aged 21 to 47 years and weighing 47 to 79 kg were estimated by measurement of water displacement. The men had an unrestricted food intake and observations were made 4-hourly for 24 h. One measurement was made for each of a second group of 173 men aged 17 to 69 years and weighing 56 to 118 kg. Body height, weight and arm and scapula skin folds were measured, residual lung volume was estimated from Chinn and Allen's formula (USAMRNL Rep. No. 252, 1960) and body fat was calculated from the formula of Allen et al. (USAMRNL Rep. No. 250, 1960). The body sp. gr. fell within the limits of other workers with a standard deviation of 0.002 unit for one observation. There was a continuous decrease in mean body sp. gr. and an increase in body fat with age. It is suggested that this would be a rapid and effective method for estimation of body sp. gr. in large populations.-I. E. F.

N balances were studied at 2-week intervals and amino acid concentrations in fasting samples of blood weekly. The concentration of glutamic acid in plasma increased significantly with both the wheat gluten and egg white supplements; proline showed similar but less marked increases but there were no significant changes in concentration of other amino acids. In both groups N retention dropped during the period of supplementation, the decrease being greater for egg white than for wheat gluten. The apparent digestibilities of carbohydrate, fat and N were high and did not change significantly through-out the experiment.

Incorporation of 144C-labelled glucose into the glycogen, glyceride glycerol, unsaponifiable lipids and fatty acids of samples of epididymal fat pads and the incorporation of label into the CO2 evolved were estimated. Ingestion of orotic acid at either 25o or 6° increased oxidation of glucose to CO2 and greatly increased incorporation of label into glyceride glycerol, un-saponifiable lipids and fatty acids. Incorporation into glycogen was reduced at 25° and remained unchanged at 6°, after excess of orotic acid. Cold stress decreased lipogenesis in the epididymal fat pads of rats on the control diet.-S.

N2 - Evidence is presented and discussed suggesting that K depletion may be important in the production of certain forms of injury observed in those undergoing strenuous exertion in hot climates. The benefits of supplementary salt in such persons are well known, to avoid hypertonic dehydration and cardiovascular collapse. In heat injury, features of K depletion including hypokaliaemia, pitressin-resistant polyuria and possible rhabdomyolysis can occur. Acclimatisation to heat is accompanied by increased aldosterono excretion and an expanded fluid space and, as salt loading may not suppress aldosterone production, it may lead to serious K depletion.-A.

N2 - Young healthy men, 70 from 19 to 26 years old, were during several years exposed to infections; those who developed symptoms were treated promptly and recovered completely. Symptoms of typical typhoidal tularaemia developed in 9 subjects 2 to 4 days after exposure and streptomycin halted the illness in its earliest stage. Symptoms of sandfly fever developed in 6 exposed subjects with spontaneous recovery after 2 to 3 days. Typical Q fever developed in 6 exposed subjects after a prolonged incubation period and was treated with tetracycline. A negative N balance, due to increased N in urine and anorexia, occurred after the onset of each illness, and in all the cumulative loss of body N persisted long into convalescence. There was no effect on N in faeces. Creatinine in urine rose and fell roughly parallel with the fever and greatest losses of urea, ammonia and α-amino N occurred after the peak of the illness; during convalescence α-amino N excretion declined for a long period. Subjects who showed only mild clinical symptoms of tularaemia or sandfly fever initially retained N and their cumulative N balance never became negative. Vaccinated men who were exposed to tularaemia and showed acute symptoms had a similar though smaller loss of N than non-vaccinated men with fever but those who remained free of symptoms retained small amounts of N and maintained their cumulative gain.A negative N balance developed in men pair-fed on a diet that duplicated the changes in intake of men with typical tularaemia and those on a vegetable protein diet had greater cumulative N losses than those given an equal amount of animal protein. The pattern of cumulative N loss and the action of different N compounds in the urine followed the pattern seen during infection after a single day of artificially induced hyperthermia, when the body temperature of 8 men was raised to reproduce the fever curve of the first 24 h of symptoms of typical tularaemia. Glucocorticoid excretion increased with the onset of all 3 illnesses, persisted during mounting illness and abruptly returned to normal. There was little change in adrenal response in mild illness. When cortisol was given by mouth to 4 men not exposed the desired pattern of glucocorticoid response occurred but without a negative N balance. Neither streptomycin nor tetracycline, when given to patients with tularaemia or Q fever, respectively, seemed to contribute to N losses in infection.Interrelations between cumulative N balance and that of K and Mg in subjects with tularaemia showed in both instances a linear relation with a statistically significant coefficient of regression. Changes in Na, K, Mg, Ca and P indicated that the body cells were the principal source of lost body N.-P. W.

N2 - Albino rats 3 months of age were given semi-purified diets based on casein and starch, one a low-fat diet with 6% maize oil and the other with 24.8% butter replacing the oil and part of the starch; both diets had adequate supplements of minerals and vitamins based on the recommendations of the U.S. National Research Council (Abst. 5374, Vol. 33) but including intrinsic factor and ascorbic acid. The diets were given freely for 10 weeks and then each group was subdivided into rats fed freely or restricted to 9 g per day, about a third of free intake; some of the restricted rats had in addition 0.62 g of the mineral and vitamin mixture so that their intakes of those components were equal to those on unrestricted feeding. After 10 days of restricted feeding all feed was withheld from the restricted groups except that the last got 1 g daily of the vitamin and mineral mixture. At intervals the rats were made to swim in warm water while carrying weights until they were exhausted.Analysis of variance showed that for the whole experiment swimming times were 26% longer for rats without than for those with the mineral and vitamin supplement. When only groups given the supplement were compared, rats on high-fat diet swam significantly longer than those on low-fat diet. When again only rats given the supplement were compared, rats on the high-fat diet survived starvation 30% longer than those on low-fat diet. Fat level and supplement had no effect on blood sugar values. It was concluded that there was nobenefit from supplying minerals and vitamins to underfed or starved rats. P. J. G.

N2 - The incorporation of acetate-1-14C into fatty acids by isolated epididymal adipose tissue of fed and fasted rats adapted to a single daily 2-h meal (meal eaters) or fed ad libitum (nibblers) was investigated. Fasting for 22 h markedly depressed lipogenesis whereas fatty acid synthesis increased linearly with time of refeeding in meal-fed but not in nibbling rats. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and NADP-malic dehydrogenase in adipose tissue of meal-fed or nibbling rats were not altered as a consequence of a 22 h fast or of subsequent feeding for 2 h. The incorporation of acetate-1-14C into fatty acids by adipose tissue of fasted meal-eating or nibbling animals was markedly increased by the addition of unlabelled pyruvate or oxaloacetate to the incubation medium. This stimulatory effect was not observed with adipose tissue from fed meal-eating rats. The addition of unlabelled glucose and insulin to the incubation medium stimulated incorporation of acetate-1-14C into fatty acids by isolated adipose tissue and completely overcame any effect of fasting. Adipose tissue converted pyruvate-1-14C, -2.14C, or -3.14C to fatty acids and glyceride-glycerol. The results obtained are consistent with the functioning of a pathway in adipose tissue involving mitochondrial carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, and equilibration of the newly formed oxaloacetate with malate and fumarate, followed by cytoplasmic conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenol pyruvate. The data are interpreted to support a control mechanism in which fatty acid synthesis is inhibited by tissue fatty acids and fatty acyl-CoA derivatives. The inhibition could in turn be reduced by the availability of α-glycerophosphate for the esterification of fatty acids. This control mechanism is proposed as the explanation for the refeeding response observed in adipose tissue of meal-fed rats.

Meal-fed rats on the high-carbohydrate diet gave adipose tissue which in vitro incorporated more pyruvate C into fatty acids and oxidized more pyruvate than tissue of rats given the same diet to appetite or the high-fat diet. Meal-fed rats had more glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme in adipose tissue and liver on the high-carbohydrate than on the high-fat diet. In rats fed freely on high-fat diet both enzymes were relatively low in adipose tissue and the first in liver. Adipose tissue from rats on high-fat diet was able to convert more pyruvate-2-14C to glyceride glycerol than tissue from rats on high-carbohydrate diet. With increase of protein there were increases of liver transaminases and decreased ability of adipose tissue to oxidize glucose-14C and leucine-14C or incorporate them into fatty acids. Adipose tissue from meal-fed rats on any protein level oxidized and incorporated into fatty acids more glucose and leucine than tissue from rats freely fed on the same diets.-S. D.

In adipose tissue, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme activities and synthesis of fatty acid from acetate-l-14C or glucose-U-14C were increased by meal-feeding in rats on diets with 10 or 20% fat but not in those given 30% fat. G-6-PD, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme and lipogenesis were decreased, in both meal-fed rats and rats fed to appetite, on increasing diet fat from 10% to 20%. On increasing the diet fat to 30%, only the meal-fed rats showed a further decrease of G-6-PD and malic enzyme activities and lipogenesis.

Rats given Zn showed a decreased weight gain and ate less food than the other groups. There was less 59Fe in the tissues of rats receiving Fe in the diet, and Cu and Zn had no effect on this result. The faecal excretion of 59Fe was increased in rats given Fe in the diet, but the amount of liver Fe increased. Addition of Zn to the diet but not of Cu decreased the liver Fe content.In a second experiment 20 rats received a basal diet to which half had a supplement of Zn 0.75%. 59FeCl3 was added to the diet and after 5 weeks 55FeCl3 was given by mouth. The rats were killed 4 days later and liver, spleen, femur, urine and faeces were analysed for 59Fe and 55Fe. Half of the livers in each group were perfused with NaCl solution before removal for analysis; that treatment made no difference to the results. The presence of Zn in the diet decreased 59Fe in the carcase. The highest concentration of 59Fe was in the spleen and blood cells, the lowest in bone and plasma.

N2 - Investigations into the metabolic effects of allowing access to food for only a single period of 2 h per day (meal feeding), compared with unrestricted feeding, were made on male Holtzman rats and male Hyline White Leghorn chicks. After 5 to 7 days of meal feeding the rate of incorporation of acetate-1-14C into fatty acids of rat adipose tissue increased, as did the incorporation of acetate into fatty acids of chick liver after 7 days.Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and NADP-malic dehydrogenase did not increase in rat adipose tissue until the 9th day, and not at all in chick liver.In both rats and chicks glycogen in the liver was not as low after 22 h of fasting in the meal-fed animals as in those fed freely. Liver glycogen in meal-fed chicks increased to twice normal after the daily meal, but did not rise in rats under similar circumstances. After 4 h there was little difference in liver glycogen between meal-fed and freely fed rats. Meal-eating rats fed after a fast were able to accumulate much more glycogen in muscle and adipose tissue over a period of 6 h than were continuous eaters after similar refeeding.

N2 - The rate of gluconeogenesis from L-lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, α-ketoglutarate, L-glutamate, L-asparate and oxaloacetate was measured in kidney cortex slices prepared from control and hypoxic albino rats and thirteen-lined ground squirrels. After exposure to hypoxia for 3 h, gluconeogenesis in ground squirrel renal tissue was increased significantly from all substrates except L-lactate; whereas the gluconeogenic capacity in rat tissue was slightly decreased. In general, the activities of selected hepatic and renal gluconeogenic enzymes were increased in hypoxic ground squirrels but decreased in hypoxic rats. In both species, significant glycogenolysis occurred during hypoxia; blood glucose remained unchanged. Blood lactate increased significantly in the hypoxic ground squirrel. A possible feedback control of gluconeogenesis is discussed within the context of the above results.Hypoxic resistance in hibernating mammals may be partly attributed to an increased capacity for renal and hepatic gluconeogenesis.

N2 - Estimates of muscle protein (MP, g) and of non-muscle protein (NMP, g) could be obtained from measurements of total body potassium (K, m-equiv.) and total body creatine (C, mg) and from knowledge of the proportions of K and of creatine in MP and NMP respectively. From measurements on rats the ratio of 24 h urinary creatinine excretion (Cr, mg per 24 h) to C was 0.00757 ±0.00063. A derived equation, MP= 7.783 Cr-1. 239 K, was used to estimate muscle protein weights for 22 male and 7 female rats of Sprague Dawley strain, in age from 81 to 188 days. The estimated values were closely correlated with values measured gravimetrically, being scattered around the measured values with a standard deviation of ±4-2%. A similar estimation of NMP was less precise, the standard deviation of the differences being ±7.5%.

N2 - Hydrolysis and absorption of different disaccharides were studied, in normal people and in patients with tropical sprue and intestinal lactase deficiency, by perfusion experiments with a double-lumen tube. Lactose was hydrolysed in normal adults more slowly than sucrose and maltose. Rate of hydrolysis of maltose and sucrose in vivo was similar. Patients with tropical sprue were less able to hydrolyse lactose than to absorb the products. In patients with lactase deficiency impairment of lactose absorption was as great as in those with tropical sprue, but the severe intestinal damage typical of tropical sprue was absent. D. A. S.

N2 - The acceptability and nutritive value of different diets in an aseptic liquid form, in a dehydrated form, in the form of baked cookies or in the form of candy were estimated. Typical liquid diets consisted of 5% sodium, potassium or calcium caseinate, lactalbumin, egg albumin, soya protein or different mixtures of these; 18% carbohydrates in the form of glucose, sucrose, dextrin, lactose, maize syrup, hydrolysed maize starch or modified starch, individually or in mixtures; 5.8% fat in the form of triglycerides; 0.2% as safflower oil, maize oil or ethyl linoleate; and 0.1% as flavouring agent. The percentage water and minerals in these diets was 70.5% and 0.1%, respectively. Soluble caseinates were the best protein source and also served as a source of minerals. The diets were homogenized before and after heating to 295oF and stored in tins. Some liquid diets were freeze-dried, and where they were to be rehydrated before consumption they were subjected to sonic disintegration before freeze-drying to shorten the reconstitution time. Baked cookie diets were prepared by baking at high temperatures for a short period and comprised egg albumin 6.0, purified soya protein 6.0, sucrose 24, starch pregelatinised 24, vegetable fat of high melting point 24, flavouring 0.3 and water 15.7%. A candy was prepared consisting of egg albumin 3, sodium caseinate 9, maize syrup 25, sucrose 26, vegetable fat 19, safflower oil or ethyl linoleate 1, flavouring and emulsifier 3 and water 14%. Acceptability of diets was assessed by taste panels. With liquid diets chocolate and vanilla flavourings gave the highest acceptability rates but with this type of diet no rating was higher than 6.3 on a 9-point scale. The dehydrated diets when consumed as bite-sized, dry pieces often had less after-taste and were more palatable than the original liquid diet. Chocolate, vanilla and coconut were the most acceptable flavours for the baked diet but scores were again below 7. With the candy diet, chocolate and vanilla flavours gave scores of 7 or more but when the preparation was modified to meet specifications for high-temperature and vacuum-packaging stability, scores fell to 5.7. Two groups of subjects in space simulators lost no bodyweight or had no discernible ill effect when given liquid diets in amounts providing 2800 kcal per day for 6 to 8 weeks. The nutritive value of the liquid diet was compared with that of other commercial and synthetic diets in dry and liquid form in feeding experiments with rats. Rats on liquid diets tended to have a higher total water intake than those on dry diets and the water intake of rats on dry diets increased with increased protein content of the diet. Average output of faeces was least and protein efficiency ratio was highest in rats given a synthetic liquid diet with amino acids as the only source of N. Rats given a liquid diet as described above gave high values of protein efficiency ratio and calorie efficiency ratio and a faecal output of only 10% of that of rats given a commercial diet of natural ingredients.

N2 - At 7 weeks of age 48 Holtzman rats were divided into 4 groups and fed on a basal semi-synthetic diet [in the description of the diet no source of protein is mentioned, but the percentages of components do not add up to 100 and there is no suggestion in the text that a protein-free diet was involved] alone or with 2% methionine or 0.133 mg Zn per g diet or both at the expense of starch. After 10 days on the diets, half the rats were exposed to 800 rad of whole-body X-irradiation at 1233 rad per h, and the others were not exposed. Immediately after exposure all the rats were given a standard skin wound and an intraperitoneal injection of 15 µc 65Zn and placed in metabolism cages for 6 days until they were killed. After 6 days the percentage of retained 65Zn per g tissue was highest in bone and in decreasing order in liver, spleen, kidney, regenerating wound tissue, muscle, red blood cells, skin and plasma. Differences caused by irradiation were small except that in regenerating tissue of rats on the diet with both methionine and Zn irradiation doubled the 65Zn content. There was a significant but smaller increase in the rats given added Zn alone. In unexposed rats those given Zn in the diet, with or without methionine, had in most tissues less 65Zn than those on the basal diet, but the difference with diet was less in exposed rats. No difference was found in rate of wound healing as shown by collagen formation.Rats given Zn alone or with methionine, but not those given only methionine, excreted more 65Zn in faeces than rats on the basal diet. After irradiation not only those given Zn but also those given methionine excreted more in faeces than controls. Renal excretion of Zn appeared to be impaired in the early period after exposure but tended to recover in the 6 days of study, though recovery was delayed in rats given excess methionine.-B. M. W.

N2 - Adult male white mice infected by subcutaneous injection of 3 to 6 organisms of Diplococcus pneumoniae type 1 strain A5 became ill 24 h later and usually died within 72 h. Pneumonia organisms appeared in liver homogenates 12 to 16 h after injection and in blood after 24 h, coinciding with the appearance of clinical signs. Groups of 4 mice, infected and uninfected, were injected with leucine-14C and killed after 45 min. Samples of liver, small intestine and leg muscle were pooled, minced and homogenized and the microsomal fraction was isolated. The up-take of labelled leucine into microsomal protein was measured and the respective control values were taken as 100%. In infected mice protein synthesis in the liver increased by 13% after 16 h of infection and had risen to 33% above control level at 40 h. Intestinal protein synthesis rose by 50% after 16 h but declined as infection progressed. In muscle there was a decrease of 15% in infected mice after 16 h and a further fall of 30% by 40 h, then the rate stayed at 70% of normal until death.For studies in vitro microsomes from control and infected livers were incubated with their respective soluble pH 5 enzyme systems or were incubated with enzymes from uninfected livers only. In both studies incorporation of leucine-14C into protein increased. When microsomes were incubated with their own enzymes synthesis rose by 35% during infection.When microsomes from infected livers were incubated with enzymes from uninfected livers synthesis rose by 40% above normal; the rate of incorporation in both cases dropped sharply as the mice approached death. Experiments with sucrose density gradients showed that during bacterial infection the quantity of liver polyribosomes may be greater than in uninfected livers. Monosomes and disomes, present in control livers, were absent from infected livers. Intraperitoneal administration of hydrocortisone to uninfected mice caused the monosome peak to disappear in liver preparations. The increased liver protein synthesis is attributed to increased messenger ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis.Mice were infected intraperitoneally with 3 to 4 X 103 median lethal doses of an arbovirus, the Trinidad strain of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus. After 3 days the mice were ill and by day 5 they were moribund. The virus appeared rapidly in the tissues and reached maximum by 48 h in the brain and within 24 h in all other tissues. Protein synthesis was measured with injected leucine-14C. As infection progressed uptake of labelled leucine into microsomal protein decreased; there was an initial decrease in liver and brain followed by a marked rise in uptake. Intestinal uptake decreased slightly for 3 days but rose on day 4 after infection. Protein synthesis in vitro was studied with microsomes and soluble enzymes from livers and brains of VEE-infected mice and controls. Protein synthesis did not alter during infection but in the liver it fell on days 1 and 2 after infection and returned to normal after 4 days. The decrease in liver microsomal protein varied between 17 and 30%. When microsomes and enzymes from infected mice were incubated together the decrease was 30% but was only 17% when control pH 5 enzymes were used with microsomes from infected livers. Mouse fibroblasts (strain L) in tissue culture were infected with VEE virus and protein and RNA were precipitated. Leucine-14C and uridine-2-14C were used to measure protein and RNA synthesis, respectively. By 1 h after infection protein synthesis fell by 20% but after 3 h synthesis increased and reached a maximum 4 h after infection. Host RNA synthesis was blocked by the addition of actinomycin D. The virus infection inhibited uridine-14C uptake by RNA more rapidly than actinomycin D; host-RNA synthesis fell by 38% after 2 h.-P. W.

N2 - Meal-feeding (limiting access to food to 2 h per day) in the rat stimulated the utilization of leucine- and lysine-14C by isolated adipose tissue. Epididymal adipose tissue from meal-fed rats incorporated significantly more amino acid carbon into protein and fatty acids than did similar tissue from nibbling (freely fed) animals. Greater quantities of amino acids were also oxidized by adipose tissue of meal-fed rats. The incorporation of leucine- and lysine-14C into protein and fatty acids was stimulated by addition of glucose to the incubation medium, and addition of insulin resulted in a further stimulation.

N2 - Male weanling albino rats weighing 40 to 60 g, of CFE Carworth strain, were freely fed on a 30% fat control diet to which was added 20% 1, 3-butanediol, 20% propylene glycol or 20% glycerol. Each diet was given to 10 rats kept at 25oC for 4 weeks, to 10 rats kept at 5o for 4 weeks and to 18 rats kept at 25o for 5 weeks and then exposed to-20o until half of them were dead. After 4 weeks at 25o or at 5o 5 rats on each diet were killed and their livers were removed and weighed; total lipids were extracted and non-lipid components were separated by partition chromatography. All rats kept in the cold ate more and weighed less and had food efficiencies about half that of rats in the temperate environment. The energy intake of rats at 25o given either butanediol or propylene glycol was less than that of controls or of glycerol-fed rats but at 5° only the intake of rats given butanediol was less. Epididymal adipose tissue from rats at 25o had a water content of 7 to 13% and that from rats at 5o a water content of 10 to 23% and all rats kept in the cold had small adipose tissue pads but rats given either of the glycols had significantly lower adipose tissue weight than control or glycerol-fed rats at both temperatures. Liver lipids and cholesterol were significantly higher in rats fed on propylene glycol at 25° than on any any other treatment and at 5° were significantly higher in both groups of glycol-fed rats than in controls. Cold reduced liver lipid and cholesterol in rats given propylene glycol but cholesterol in the other 3 groups did not fall with cold although liver lipids fell significantly at 5o in control animals. When rats were placed at-20o after 5 weeks at 25o those that had consumed glycols withstood the cold only about half as long as rats given the control or glycerol diet. The amount of epididymal adipose tissue of the rats at either 25° or 5o appeared to be correlated with their resistance to extreme cold. Normal increased skin resistance and shivering occurred when rats given butanediol at 25o or 5° were placed in intense cold.

N2 - Groups of 8 female rats were given a commercial diet containing Cu 18, Zn 70 and Mo less than 1 ppm with one of the following supplements: 0.01% Cu as Cu(CH3COO)2; 0.08% Mo as Na2MoO4; 0.5% Zn as ZnCO3 and 0.15% SO4 as Na2SO4. In addition SO4 was given in combination with each trace element, making 8 groups, one of which had no supplement. Rats were mated after 5 weeks and 2 weeks later 65Zn was given intraperitoneally and its distribution was studied in uterine contents and excreta. Both Zn and Cu supplements decreased uptake of 65Zn by fetus and placenta; Zn also increased excretion of 65Zn. In a similar study of distribution of 99Mo the supplements added to a semi-purified diet were 0.02% Cu, 0.02% Mo and 0.2% SO4 in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment.

N2 - The turnover of 131I-labelled albumin was studied in 5 men aged from 19 to 23 years during a 10-day control period at 5280 ft, for 8 days at 14, 100 ft and for 4 days at 5280 ft again. Their diet supplied 3000 kcal and 1.1 to 1-5 g protein per kg bodyweight daily but they ate less at 14, 100 ft and the mean minimum intake was 2100 kcal. On the first experimental day 16µc albumin-131I was injected into a running intravenous infusion of 5% glucose. Plasma volume was constant in the control period but fell significantly in all men at altitude by 12 5 % at 4 days and by 20.0% at 8 days; plasma albumin was stable during the control time but rose transiently in 3 of the 5 men at 14, 100 ft, apparently by an increase of total protein as the electrolyte distribution was unchanged. The total plasma albumin pool decreased in all men at altitude. The fractional rate of degradation of albumin-131I increased generally at 14, 100 ft, most markedly in the first 3 days, but the mean percentage remained 11 to 18% higher than control value even in the last 5 days at high altitude. The absolute degradation of albumin in g per day also rose at altitude but the change was smaller than that of the fractional rate because of progressive diminution of the plasma albumin pool. Altitude induced a mean negative N balance of 2.33 g per day that remained negative during the recovery period. Bodyweight was stable initially but fell progressively at 14, 100 ft with a mean maximum loss of 2.14 kg, and lost weight was not regained in the recovery period. At altitude there was a marked decrease in thyroxine-binding prealbumin with the lowest value after 4 to 6 days 62% of the control period and it stayed significantly low in the recovery period. Plasma free thyroxine values rose in 4 subjects due to increased total thyroxine and decreased thyroxine binding by plasma proteins.

N2 - Collections were made of arm and total body sweat from 12 healthy men exposed to heat in an environmental chamber and to 1 h of moderate exercise on an ergometer. During periods of 3.5, 7 and 12 h losses of Ca extrapolated from arm sweat were calculated to be 61, 106 and 123 mg, whereas those measured in total sweat were 44, 75 and 93 mg, or only 71 to 76% of those expected. Losses of N were studied for 7 h or for 24 h made up of 12 h waking and 12 h sleeping. Mean losses calculated from arm sweat for 7 and 12 h during the day were 2.34 and 2.52 g, those measured in total body sweat during the same periods 2.01 and 2.35 g. The values for 6 men for measured total sweat were in 7 h 1.90, in 12 h waking 2.22, in 12 h sleeping 1.53 and in 24 h 3.75 g N. For total I measured loss in total sweat was in the same 4 periods 74.94, 94.55, 51.95 and 146.5 µg. Mean sweat rates for 12 men were 297 g per h waking, 168 g per h sleeping and 232 g per h over the 24 h. Some men did not readily sweat on the arms and it was recommended that if arm bags are used, all samples of less than 16 g sweat from adults should be discarded.

N2 - Healthy mice of Cb and Strong A inbred strains were mated at 21/2 months of age; some were maintained for as long as they would produce satisfactory litters, others were killed at intervals of 25 days up to 600 days on the diets. When they died or were killed complete histopathological examinations were made; there were more than 4000 mice in all. The diet was of pork loin, whole boned chicken, evaporated milk, potatoes and blanched carrots, all irradiated or not irradiated or, in one part of the study, only one of the components irradiated. The foods were pressure-cooked and homogenized separately and then mixed in a blender with added vitamin mixture and salt. Statistical evaluation of the results of post mortem examinations indicated that no lesion occurred with significantly greater frequency in mice fed on irradiated foods.-B. M. W.

N2 - The activity of 2 pathways supplying substrate for lipogenesis was increased in adipose tissue of meal-fed rats. One, the forward pathway, involves the entry of α-ketoglutarate into the mitochondria and metabolism by the Krebs cycle; the second pathway involves the backward flow of α-ketoglutarate to citrate in the cytoplasm, and cleavage of citrate to supply acetylcoenzyme A. Meal feeding increased fatty acid synthesis by the forward and backward pathways, but the relative amount of glutamate incorporated into lipid by the backward pathway decreased. The relative importance of the backward and forward pathways to the incorporation of α-ketoglutarate into fatty acid appeared to be similar for liver and adipose tissue. Lipogenesis from glutamate was significantly greater in adipose tissue incubated in bicarbonate than in phosphate buffer; but the relative differences between tissues from meal-fed rats and from those fed ad libitum were similar in the 2 buffers. The possible importance of the backward pathway in the supply of precursors for fatty acid synthesis is discussed.

N2 - Quantitive thin-layer chromatography was used to measure the individual lipid components of liver, plasma and adipose tissue in rats given 1, 3-butanediol (BD) as a replacement of "natural" carbohydrate. The addition of 20% BD to diets containing either 10 or 30% fat resulted in a slight increase in liver neutral lipids, specifically, triglycerides and cholesterol esters. Phospholipid and cholesterol levels were not affected by an increase in diet fat or BD. Levels of unesterified fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol esters in plasma also were higher as a result of increases in diet fat or supplementation with BD.

Serum from the chickens was injected into groups of 8 young mice, on 2 occasions with an interval of 1 h, and the second injection was accompanied by an intraperitoneal injection of acetate-1-14C unless the serum contained labelled cholesterol. The mice were killed 1 h after the second injection. In mice given serum from chickens fed on cholesterol there was a significant increase of liver cholesterol and a decrease in synthesis of cholesterol from labelled acetate. Serum from birds given lithocholic acid lacked those effects. When the serum cholesterol was labelled, more of that from serum of chickens given cholesterol and less of that from birds given lithocholic acid was deposited in liver than in the mice given serum from untreated chickens.-G.

Liver slices were incubated in bicarbonate buffer and the incorporation of acetate-1-14C and glucose-U-14C into fatty acids and cholesterol was measured. There was an increase in incorporation of acetate and glucose into fatty acids but not into cholesterol in birds given lithocholic acid. The C-1 atom of glucose, but not C-6, was oxidized more rapidly by those birds. As expected, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was increased but not 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase or malic dehydrogenase. Cholesterol-4-14C was given by vein and the specific activity of plasma was measured at 8, 24, 48 and 72 h. The specific activity was lower in birds given lithocholic acid and turnover time was 77.7 against 57.9 h in those given cholesterol.

N2 - Male rats of Holtzman strain were fed for 3 or 4 weeks on a basal diet of vitamin-free casein 18, L-cystine 0.3, non-nutritive fibre 3, salt mixture 4, maize oil 5, vitamin mixture 0.4, choline chloride 0.3, cholesterol 1 and glucose to 100; additions to the basal diet were made at the expense of glucose. Dietary pectin did not alter bodyweight but reduced plasma cholesterol and liver cholesterol significantly. Faecal sterol excretion was not altered by pectin; bile acid excretion was increased by 31% but the difference did not attain statistical significance. In rats given diets containing either 5 % pectin or 1% cholesterol for 3 weeks or given on alternate days a diet containing 3% cholestyramine and one containing either 5% pectin or 1% cholestyramine the effects of pectin and cholestyramine were similar whether they were given together with cholesterol or separately. Studies with everted intestinal sacs showed that pectin decreased taurocholic acid transport by about 50%. The possible influence of an altered intestinal microflora was studied by giving pectin to rats receiving 1% dietary cholesterol with or without succinylsulphathiazole. Succinylsulphathiazole significantly increased plasma cholesterol and liver fat and cholesterol. Pectin was as effective in reducing plasma cholesterol and liver lipids in the presence or absence of succinylsulphathiazole, suggesting that its effect is not mediated by alteration of the intestinal flora. Cholesterol-4-14C absorption was somewhat depressed by pectin.-B. M. W.

N2 - Cans of plain tinplate contained 8 oz of 5 kinds of fruit and 7 of meat with vegetable or cereal, and cans of lacquered tinplate contained 6 other meat dishes. They were stored for 20 months at 1° or 37°C. At 1°, Fe was in fruit 3 to 6 and in meat 10 to 34 mg per kg wet food, and at 37°, 5 to 102 in fruit and 14 to 40 in meat except for one which had 130; some lacquered cans pitted. There was no Sn in contents of lacquered cans at 1° and a trace to 12 mg per kg in 3 of these foods at 37°; all plain cans had 15 to 48 mg at 1o and fruit 254 to 538 and meat 43 to 302 at 37°. The 9 young men described in Abst. 998, Vol. 30 had the test diet in 4 consecutive periods with 6 daily menus made from the cans at each temperature, or, for all 24 days, a similar diet of fresh food. Concentrations of Fe and Sn are given for the 6 menus and fresh diet, as range and mean for 3 to 6 samples. Average daily intake for the test diet was dry matter (DM) 800 g, Fe 26.7 or 64.4 mg at 1° or 37o, Sn 26.3 or 162.8, and for fresh food DM 722 g, Fe 22-1, Sn 9.5 mg. Fe in faeces was 82% of that in fresh diet, 78% in the test diet at 1° and 54% at 37o; high absorption may be related to the small amount of pyridoxine found in the last diet in the earlier work.

N2 - Adult Holtzman rats were allowed access to commercial diet at all times or for one 2-h period daily. Freely fed rats ate more but after an initial loss of weight the rats given one meal daily gained weight at the same rate. Isolated adipose tissue from meal-eaters converted more glucose to CO2, fatty acids, unsaponifiable lipids and glycogen than did tissue from those freely fed, and also incorporated more acetate into fatty acids. When rats of both groups were starved for 22 h and fed for 2 h before they were killed those used to meal-eating showed more lipo-genesis in adipose tissue. In the first 30 min of feeding total oxidized pyridine nucleotide coenzymes and rate of oxidation of glucose to CO2 in epididymal fat pads fell in meal-eaters. The changes in the rats used to meal-eating appeared to be adaptive and not simply a result of the larger amounts eaten in the 2-h period.

N2 - Rats were fed at a single daily 2-h meal or to appetite, on diets high in carbohydrate or fat. Glucose- 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP-malic de-hydrogenase were more active in adipose tissue from high-carbohydrate meal-fed rats than in tissue from freely fed rats. The activity in adipose tissue of iso-citric dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and NAD-malic dehydrogenase did not increase significantly in response to meal-feeding on the high-carbohydrate diet. No increase in lipogenesis or enzyme activity could be demonstrated in adipose tissue from rats meal-fed on high-fat diet. Lipase activity of adipose tissue was increased by high-carbohydrate meal-feeding and decreased by high-fat diet. The uptake of palmitate-1-14C by adipose tissue in vitro was depressed by a high-fat diet and increased in rats meal-fed on high-carbohydrate diet. Diaphragm or slices of liver from fat-fed rats oxidized palmitate- 1-14C more rapidly than did tissue from freely fed animals. Evidence is presented for the quantitative importance of citrate as a source of extramitochondrial acetyl coenzyme A in adipose tissue of meal-eating and freely-fed rats. The relation of citrate to the NAD-malic dehydrogenase-malic enzyme system in adipose tissue is discussed.

N2 - The influence of the polyhydric alcohol 1, 3-butanediol on tissue lipids of normal and cold-exposed rats was investigated. The addition of 20% butanediol to a diet with 30% fat reduced adipose tissue lipids and increased liver lipids in either normal or cold environment. A diet with 30% fat for 2 weeks followed by exposure to moderate cold, 5°C, or severe cold, -10o, without food for 24 h decreased the total lipid content of epididymal adipose tissue, liver and muscle. Rats on a similar diet, not exposed to cold but starved for 72 h, showed no decrease in the total quantity of adipose tissue lipids.

N2 - Arterial hypertension was induced in 2 groups of dogs by increasing the intake of NaCl to 2 g per kg bodyweight per day and providing 0.9% saline instead of tap water to drink. In the first group the arterial pressure rose by about 55% over a period of 26 days. Restriction of K intake had no effect on this response. In the second group, catheters were implanted in the right atrium and aorta before salt feeding. In these conscious, unrestrained dogs salt hypertension was associated with marked increases in blood volume and cardiac output. The latter was attributable to an increase in stroke volume rather than in heart rate. Calculated peripheral resistance was not altered by salt feeding nor was the concentration of Na in plasma. Total exchangeable Na was approximately doubled.

Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: not specified. Registry Number: 57-88-5. N2 - Six healthy young men served as test subjects for the 6-week study; the first 2 weeks constituted a control period, followed in sequence by 2 weeks of cold with starvation and 2 weeks of repletion. The men lived in a constant temperature chamber which, during the first and last periods, was maintained at 80°F, but was reduced to 60° during the experimental period. Air movement was about 40 ft per min; relative humidity was 50%. The men wore only cotton shorts and socks and did not move about much. Each was permitted one Army woollen blanket during the night. During the initial 2-week period most of the food was in the form of a milk drink in equal portions 3 times a day. The dry matter composition of the drink was: carbohydrate 41, protein 17 and fat 42%, caloric density 1.2 kcal per g. Sufficient energy to maintain bodyweight was supplied by the milk with toast and butter. The intake established for each subject during this period was resumed during the last 2 weeks of the study. For the test period no food was given, but during all phases of the study water was allowed freely and 4 cups of hot coffee, without cream and sugar, were given daily. Plasma glucose declined to 20% below control values within 2 days of cold and starvation and remained constant thereafter, but returned to control levels during the first day of refeeding. Plasma cholesterol, phospholipids and total lipids rose during the early phases of starvation, but were restored to control values by the end of the 14th day. Free fatty acids (FFA) rose to over twice control concentration within 2 days of fasting and remained constant thereafter. On refeeding, plasma cholesterol, phospholipids and total lipids "overshot" to 20 to 40% of control values, but FFA declined to an average of 32% below control concentrations. The reciprocal changes in FFA and other lipids suggest that in man, as in experimental animals, pronounced lipogenesis may occur when refeeding is instituted after depletion of endogenous substrates.-B.

N2 - After adult male rats had received Purina chow for 6 weeks, during which time half, the controls, were kept at 25°C and the other half at 5o, each rat received an intraperitoneal injection of 8.3 µc DL-carnitine-14C dissolved in saline. All were then kept at 25°C and received a purified carnitine-free diet for 8 days, during which 24-h collections of urine were made. At the end they were killed for studies of gastrocnemius muscle. In rats which had been exposed to cold, body pool and daily excretion of carnitine were about 8 times those of controls; half-life and turnover time were halved. The results agree with those of Khairallah and Mehlman ("Recent Research on Carnitine", p. 57, M.I.T. Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1965). In experimental rats part of the specific activity was recovered as an unidentified component. In muscle of rats exposed to cold concentration of carnitine was about 6 times that in controls. In both groups, lipidbound carnitine, in which 30% of the total activity was present, was about 10% of the total. The total amount of carnitine-14C extracted by tissue was not appreciably changed by exposure to cold, the increased body pool size being reflected in the lower specific activity of free and lipid-bound carnitine in rats exposed to cold. The specific activity was lower in lipid-bound than in free carnitine in both groups. From results of countercurrent distribution analysis (Abst. 1937, Vol. 34), together with other evidence, the lipid-bound carnitine appeared to be acylcarnitine.-E. H.

Groups of 12 weanling rats were fed on the diets for 4 weeks and Mg and P of urine and faeces were measured. The rats on both lower intakes of Mg showed signs of deficiency not alleviated by any amount of P. At the lowest Mg intake increasing P increased absorption of Mg. At the highest intake of both Mg and P there was a decrease in the proportions of Ca, Mg and P absorbed as shown by increase of all 3 in faeces. Urinary loss of Mg and Ca was greatest when P was lowest. Changes in diet Mg produced a pattern of faecal Ca similar to that obtained for faecal P. Increasing P intake resulted in an increase in renal Ca deposition which was confirmed by microscopic examination.-D. E. M. L.

N2 - For plasma, the estimation of glucose by the chemical Somogyi Nelson procedure and by the enzymic glucose oxidase or coupled hexokinase reaction is not affected by the method of preparation of the protein-free filtrate, and differences due to procedure are small. Consistently lower values are obtained by the enzymic assays, and probably represent a more valid index of "true" plasma glucose than the chemical procedure. For whole blood estimations, all procedures are affected by the method of filtrate preparation, and variable differences are obtained. Considering the inconsistencies which are caused by difference in the protein precipitation and by the differences in the quantity of cellular components in blood, it is suggested that analysis of whole blood be abandoned, and that plasma assays based on enzymic systems are the procedure of choice for estimating "true" glucose in the circulation.

Control samples were from 21 subjects with normal mucosa or unspecific jejunitis. The tissue was examined under the dissecting microscope and histologically; 24 photomicrographs are presented. The lesion is characterized by gradual decreases in overall thickness of mucosa, total epithelial cell population and ratio of villus height to crypt depth. Argentaffin cells increase in number and size. The mitosis index first rises and then falls. Crypt cell nuclei become enlarged in association with delayed maturation of the epithelium during migration from crypt to tip of villus. Oedema and inflammation appear to be secondary to the epithelial change. The possible aetiology of tropical sprue is discussed.-D. L. D.

Registry Number: 57-88-5, 50-99-7. N2 - Chickens were allowed free access to feed ("nibblers") or were fed only for 1 h twice daily ("meal-eaters"). After 3 weeks meal-eating birds weighed less than nibblers and the difference persisted through the remainder of the 14-week experiment. Nibblers had more body fat and less water but there was no significant difference in protein or ash content. Plasma cholesterol was significantly higher in meal-eaters after 3 and 6 weeks but not after 10 or 14 weeks. Weight of the digestive tract relative to bodyweight was higher in the meal-eaters in the first 6 weeks only. Liver lipids were not affected. The rate of lipogenesis from acetate by liver slices was higher in meal-eaters and so was lipogenesis from acetate or glucose in vivo, but the differences disappeared after a 22-h fast. D. L. D.

Excretion of metabolites increased during depletion and appeared to reach a constant value of about 910 µg daily. On the assumption that that value is a measure of the rate at which body stores of thiamine are being depleted, minimum daily requirement was calculated to be 0.27 or 0.33 mg per 1000 kcal, according as the small amount of thiamine ingested was taken into account or not. With a safety factor of 2, this would give 0.54 to 0.66 mg per 1000 kcal; the former figure is in good agreement with the results of Mickelsen et al. (Abst. 2481, Vol. 17). P. J. Brush.

N2 - Eight normal young men received a diet supplying daily 2800 kcal, protein 80, fat 100 and carbohydrate 400 g, and adequate in vitamins other than thiamine; there were 3 successive daily menus, containing, respectively, 0.11, 0.16 and 0.18 mg thiamine. During a 9-day control period the men got a supplement of 1.6 mg thiamine daily, withdrawn during depletion for 30 days; during subsequent repletion for 12 days the supplement was 0.43 mg daily. On the 6th day of each period 24-h urine was collected for estimation of thiamine and "metabolites" (Abst. 3582, Vol. 32). Medical examinations were made weekly, and electrocardiograms were taken weekly during depletion. During the first 2 weeks of depletion 5 of the men developed general malaise, headache, nausea, constipation and aching muscles; vomiting was common during the 3rd week. Symptoms persisted for 2 weeks [after repletion began or ended?]. The earliest clinical sign to appear was sinus tachycardia at rest, within 9 days from the start of depletion, in 3 of the 8. Muscle strength was decreased in 2 and deep tendon reflexes in 4; spotty diminution of pinprick sensation over the extremities developed during the 3rd week in 3. All those signs disappeared "within one week of thiamine repletion". Urinary thiamine fell to 0 to 38, average 14 µg daily at the 6th day of depletion and was undetectable by the 18th day, and remained so during 9 days' repletion, after which only small amounts were found. Excretion of the pyrimidine and thiazole moieties of thiamine increased during depletion and remained high for some time after repletion had begun but in the end returned to normal. During depletion more of the thiazole than of the pyrimidine moiety was excreted. It is suggested that there is a body store of thiamine which is used when intake is deficient. Red cell transketolase decreased during depletion but rose rapidly during repletion.

N2 - Large adult male rats in 3 groups were fed on a normal diet, one deficient in choline or one rich in choline. After 3 weeks, half of each group were given daily injections of 20% Intralipid, at a dose level of 3 g per kg, for 3 weeks more. Rats were killed and livers fixed for light and electron microscopy one week later. Severe fatty metamorphosis of the liver developed in all rats on choline-deficient diet; dilatation of the hepatic rough endoplasmic reticulum occurred in rats on the standard and choline-rich diets with the fat emulsion as well as in the deficient rats. It was considered that the dilatation was a compensatory phenomenon of the hepatocyte to metabolise the increased intracellular lipid.-J. E. Hammant.

Intravenous infusion of one bottle of emulsion took 3.5 h, and when the emulsion was given by nasogastric tube it took 1 h. About 10 to 15 ml blood was taken from the antecubital vein at the end of the infusion and 4 h later. Extracts of chylomicron suspension were prepared from the blood. The synthetic chylomicrons given by vein acquired protein and cholesterol in amounts similar to that found in natural lymph and serum chylomicrons. A comparison of composition of the chylomicrons after the fat emulsion was given by vein or by mouth showed that their cholesterol and phospholipid contents were similar.-B. M. Wilson.

Two tests were made, one of absorption when radioactive Fe was given by mouth and the other when radioactive Fe was injected; absorption was measured by counts of radioactivity over the liver, before and after saturation of iron-binding capacity by slow infusion of a solution of Fe2++ and ascorbic acid. In normal subjects, whether transferrin was saturated or not, Fe was absorbed and most of the absorbed Fe was removed on the liver during the first passage. After injection and in the subjects with portacaval shunts, Fe was not deposited in liver and most of it was probably excreted in urine.-I. Leitch.

N2 - Male Hy-line White Leghorn chickens were reared on commercial feed for 10 days before groups of 10 of 105 to 108 g weight were given freely for 3 weeks a basal diet with protein 29.4, glucose about 60%, without cholesterol or with 2%, and without fatty acid or with 10% stearic, oleic or linoleic acid, of purity nearly 100, 68, 77%, respectively, replacing glucose. The following differences were significant. Chickens given stearic acid without cholesterol gained less, 129 g, than on any other diet, 167 to 216 g. Without cholesterol in the diet, cholesterol in plasma was less with stearic or oleic, not with linoleic acid than without fatty acids, and with cholesterol in diet it was less with stearic, more with oleic than without, and more with linoleic than oleic, 1320 and 901 mg per 100 ml respectively, range 116 to 206 for all other diets. Without cholesterol in diet, lipid P in plasma was less with than without fatty acid, and with cholesterol it was more by the same amount with oleic as with linoleic acid; range was 10.9 to 21.4 mg per 100 ml for all diets. With cholesterol in diet, fat in liver was more with linoleic acid than without fatty acids, and more with oleic than with linoleic, 12.4 and 8.6% respectively, range 3.9 to 5.5% of wet weight for all diets, and changes in cholesterol in liver were similar, 34.4 mg per g with linoleic, 54.6 with oleic acid, range 3.0 to 88 for all other diets. Without cholesterol in diet the total amount of cholesterol in plasma and liver was less with than without fatty acids in the diet; stearic acid increased and linoleic decreased the proportion of that amount that was in liver. With cholesterol in the diet the amount was less with stearic, more with linoleic acid than without fat, and more with oleic than with linoleic acid, range 50.8 to 1010.6 mg; the proportion of that amount in liver was more with oleic acid, 80.3, than with all other diets, range 47.0 to 67.5%. If total cholesterol is a measure of absorption, absorption was increased by oleic or linoleic acid and decreased by stearic acid. M. Smith.

N2 - Emulsions were Lipofundin with cottonseed oil 10 or 15%, Intralipid of 3 production batches with soya oil 20%, and test emulsions, 7 with soya oil 20% resembling Intralipid, 1 with sorbitol instead of glycerol, and 1 with cottonseed oil 20%, and egg yolk phosphatides of different fractions or degrees of purity. Groups of 6 rabbits had infusions by ear vein of 5 proprietary and 2 test emulsions, and groups of 6 rats had by tail vein all emulsions except two of the Intra-lipids. They had Lipofundin 10% and 15% at 2.0 and 2.25 g fat per kg bodyweight, respectively, all others at 3 g per kg, daily on 5 days a week for 3 weeks, and were observed for 10 days after that. Reactions at the site of injection and in temperature, intake of feed and water, weight gain and values in blood and urine differed between species and between emulsions. Degree of hyperpyrexia and weight gain differed between the batches of Intralipid. Neither species had significant gross lesions. More pigment was deposited in liver with cottonseed oil than with soya oil. With soya, it was less withchromatographically homogeneous lecithin than with other emulsifiers, but that emulsion had 1.0%, others 1.2%, glycerol as well. All animals had lipoid microgranulomata of liver or spleen or both, except with one emulsion resembling Intralipid, and those given Lipofundin had slight portal fibrosis. Rabbits did not tolerate Lipofundin well and 2 died after 1 or 2 doses of 15% emulsion; they did best with 2 of the Intralipids, and rats did best with soya oil 20, glycerol 2.5, highly purified phosphatides 1.2%, and next best with Lipofundin 10%.-M.

Pathol., 1956, 26, 1101) in haemolysed red cells, suspensions of white cells, and plasma of the subjects of the preceding Abst. [present paper says that supplements were given when mean excretion of xanthurenic acid after tryptophan exceeded 250 mg daily]. Results are tabulated. Values in red cells fell during deprivation and rose when pyridoxine was given, but the increase could not be related to the amount given. Values in white cells were more variable, with a lag of 3 to 4 weeks, and values in plasma showed no consistent pattern. All values remained within the normal ranges. On the other hand, the increase of transaminase of red cells when pyridoxal phosphate was added in vitro appeared likely to be useful in evaluating vitamin B6 status. P. J. Brush.

N2 - Eight healthy men aged 18 to 22 years were given a purified liquid diet supplying 30 or 100 g protein daily, the energy value being equalized by adjusting the amount of carbohydrates, and adequate in all known nutrients except vitamin B6, only 0.06 mg [daily]. A supplement of 4.0 mg pyridoxine hydrochloride daily was given for one week only. The criterion of deficiency was when "80 per cent of the subjects in each group" excreted at least 200 mg xanthurenic acid daily after 10 g DL-tryptophan. It was achieved after 5 and 3 weeks' deprivation, respectively. The men were then given 1.0 mg pyridoxine hydrochloride daily for 2 weeks, then 1.5 mg daily, and thereafter the amount given was adjusted weekly in accordance with xanthurenic acid excretion after tryptophan until minimum vitamin B6 requirement was established. From the findings, which are presented graphically, it was concluded that, under the conditions of experiment, minimum requirement was 1.25 mg pyridoxine hydrochloride daily on the low-protein diet and 1.5 on the high-protein diet, and optimum requirement 1.25 to 1.5 and 1.75 to 2.0. Excretion of vitamin B, estimated with Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, was closely related to intake and to excretion of xanthurenic acid. Excretion of 3-hydroxykynurenine, estimated by Brown's method (J. Biol. Chem., 1958, 227, 649), was of little use in estimating vitamin B6 requirement. There was little or no change in excretion of oxalate. Because the low-protein diet was suspected of being borderline or inadequate in methionine, 2 g DL-methionine was added to it during the last 2 weeks; the result was a sudden rise in excretion of xanthurenic acid and 3-hydroxykynurenine. Ascorbic acid in whole blood, estimated by the method of Schaffert and Kingsley (Abst. 3604, Vol. 25), fell rapidly during deprivation and rose gradually thereafter; interrelations between the 2 vitamins are being studied.-P.

Male Leghorn chickens reared on stock diet for 2 weeks were assigned to 6 groups of 28, of mean initial weights 128 to 130 g. Lithocholic and cholic acids were added at 0.2% of some diets at the expense of glucose. Seven chickens from each group were killed after 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks. Lithocholic acid gave higher plasma lipid values, less liver fat, greater liver size and biliary hyperplasia in birds on diets without or with cholesterol. It increased liver cholesterol in chickens on cholesterolfree diet but decreased it with cholesterol-supplemented diet. Cholic acid partly prevented the changes in liver size and plasma and liver lipids when it was added with lithocholic acid to cholesterol-free diet. With cholesterol, cholic acid almost wholly prevented the effects of lithocholic acid.-B. M. Wilson.

N2 - Weanling male rats of Sprague Dawley strain were given a diet complete except that the protein source was 20% gluten while that of the controls was 26% casein. After 30 days control rats weighed on average 165 g, experimental rats 80 g. Each rat was then restrained on its back and the abdomen was clipped and closely shaved, which usually caused sufficient abrasion to the skin to stimulate migration of leukocytes to the site. A cover-slip was placed on the area and was replaced each hour for 8 h; those removed were stained and examined. The response to an irritant, 12% sodium caseinate, injected into the peritoneum was studied also; after a selected time the rats were anaesthetised, the abdomen was opened and the contents were removed. In rats given gluten the total number of leukocytes was about 30% below that on control diet and the relative number of monocytes was reduced by 55%. Rats subjected to the intraperitoneal irritant showed more striking results with the same trend and the control animals mobilized the circulating leukocytes faster and in larger numbers than did those fed on gluten.-P.

All the biochemical alterations were reversed, partly in the first experiment and completely the second after basal diet for 6 weeks; weight remained below that of the control group but weight gain after removal of lithocholic acid from the diet was the same as that of the control group. The profound morphological changes in the liver were completely reversed. A. Crossland.

N2 - 4. Chickens were fed on a stock diet for 7 days and then a basal diet alone or with lithocholic acid at the expense of glucose 0.025, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20% for 3 weeks. In a second experiment, the stock diet was given for 10 days followed by the experimental diets with 0.025, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25% lithocholic acid for 4 or 8 weeks. In the first experiment 0.1 and 0.2% lithocholic acid increased cholesterol and lipid P in plasma and increased liver size: less than 0.1% was ineffective. Liver fat was decreased and cholesterol increased by 0.2%. A level of 0.1% was sufficient to induce proliferation of bile ductules in the livers. In the second experiment the results after 4 or 8 weeks were in good agreement. Liver size was significantly increased by lithocholic acid 0.1% or more. Plasma ss-lipoprotein was significantly increased by lithocholic acid in excess of 0.1%. Weight gain was reduced by lithocholic acid 0.15% or more.

N2 - 3. Young rabbits, guineapigs, hamsters and mice were fed on stock diet ground to a powder without or with the addition of 0.25 or 0.50% lithocholic acid. Weanling rats were given purified diet with the addition of 0.50% lithocholic acid. After 3 weeks plasma and liver were studied for cholesterol and lipid P and the liver for total lipids. There was no difference in weight as a result of the diets except that rabbits given lithocholic acid ate and gained much less than normal. In the rabbit lithocholic acid significantly increased cholesterol in plasma and liver. In the mouse the highest level of lithocholic acid increased lipid P in plasma and decreased cholesterol in liver. Lipid P in liver was reduced by the highest intake of lithocholic in guineapigs, hamsters and mice. Liver size was increased in guineapigs and mice by 0.50% lithocholic acid only. Proliferation of bile ducts, or "the ductular cell reaction", was found in the liver of all species but was most extensive in rabbit and hamster. It is suggested that lithocholic acid is a primary growth stimulant for the biliary epithelium.

White Leghorn chickens 1 week old, in 4 groups of 8, were given semisynthetic diets with maize oil and sesame oilmeal; the diets had 12 or 25% protein and 0.3 or 2.0% cholesterol. After 4 weeks the birds were killed for estimation of cholesterol, lipid P and glycerides in plasma, cholesterol and lipid P in plasma α-lipoprotein and fat, cholesterol and lipid P in liver. The findings were tested statistically and fatty acid composition is tabulated for lipids of plasma and liver. With protein at the higher level plasma and α-lipoprotein lipid fractions were less and liver cholesterol was more than with the lower level. With each level of protein the effect of cholesterol was to raise all 3 fractions in plasma and fat and cholesterol in liver. Fatty acid changes were an increase in oleic acid and a decrease in arachidonic acid in cholesterol esters, glycerides and phospholipids of plasma when protein in diet was low. Cholesterol with either level of protein produced the same changes. In liver lipids oleic acid was higher for birds given the lower protein diet and with either diet with cholesterol than for birds given the higher protein diet.

Mucosa was abnormal in 20; 6 had simple gastritis and 14 had atrophic gastritis. It was shown that while the mucosal lesions were related to gastric acidity, no correlation existed with vitamin B12 absorption. The highest incidence of depression of secretion of acid and uropepsin was seen in the group with atrophic gastritis. The degree of steatorrhoea bore no relation to the histology of the gastric mucosa. Xylose, carotene and vitamin A tests showed no significant variation with the type or severity of the mucosal lesion. In 8 patients biopsy tests made for one year after remission of the acute phase of illness showed no change in the lesion. E. W. H. Cruickshank.

At 24 h chromatography revealed radioactive spots with RF values 0.12 and 0.16 as well as those corresponding to ascorbic acid, RF 0.375, and dehydroascorbic acid, RF 0.405; there were also non-radioactive spots with RF values exceeding 0.405, believed to represent decarboxylation products. At 36 h the first 2 substances, ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid accounted, resctively, for 22, 2, 44 and 30% of the radioactivity. At 72 h the first unknown substance and ascorbic acid had disappeared, and the second and dehydroascorbic acid accounted, respectively, for 79 and 13% of the radioactivity. The nature of the unknown substances is being investigated.Three healthy men were given, respectively, L-ascorbic acid-l-14C solution, 20 µc by mouth, freshly prepared, or kept for 36 or 72 h, and 14CO2 in expired air was recorded automatically for 24 h. The first man excreted only 0.9% of the dose as 14CO2, the others each 30.6%. Degradation of labelled ascorbic acid in solution is suggested as an explanation of the discrepancy between the findings of Abt et al. (Abst. 4914, Vol. 33) and those of Hellman and Burns (Abst. 5955, Vol. 28) and Baker et al. (Abst. 6011, Vol. 32).-A. Crossland.

N2 - For previous work see Abst. 4287, Vol. 32; Santini et al., Amer. J. Trop. Med. Hyg., 1962, 11, 421. Clearance of unlabelled folio acid from plasma was measured by a modification of the method of Chanarin et al. (Abst. 4670, Vol. 29); 15 µg Folvite per kg bodyweight in 10 ml of 5% glucose was injected into an antecubital vein and blood was taken from a vein in the other arm beforehand and 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 15 and 30 min afterwards. Folic-acid-like activity in serum was estimated with Streptococcus faecalis (Chanarin et al., Abst. 5916, Vol. 28). Results were plotted on semilog paper, zero time value was obtained by extrapolation and time for disappearance of half that value from plasma (T1/2) was taken as a measure of rate of clearance.Tests were made on normal Caucasian soldiers (5); Puerto Rican men (6) and women (2) with megaloblastic anaemia of tropical sprue; Puerto Rican men (4) who had been treated with folic acid, 5 mg daily, for 2 to 4 years and were without anaemia or symptoms of sprue, but had persistent steatorrhoea and malabsorption of xylose and vitamin A; and Puerto Rican men (2) and women (2) [5 subjects in Table I] with iron-deficiency anaemia from hookworm. Results are tabulated individually with mean and standard error. Folic acid disappeared very rapidly from the blood of patients with untreated sprue, T1/2 ranging from 2 to 5 min compared with 6 to 10 min in the normal subjects, 5 to 11 in those with treated sprue and 6 or 7 in those with iron-deficiency anaemia. In a subsequent test on 8 patients with untreated sprue and 8 controls, all but one of the patients had values for folic-acid-like activity in serum at 20 min significantly below normal; this is suggested as a simple test for folic acid deficiency in sprue.For measurement of clearance of 3H-folic acid, the labelled vitamin, together with unlabelled carrier, 15 µg per kg bodyweight, 15 to 30 µc, was injected intravenously and blood samples were taken at the same intervals as before; a flushing dose of unlabelled vitamin, 450 µg per kg, was injected 24 h after the first injection. Plasma radioactivity was expressed as a percentage of zero time value, obtained by extrapolation as before; 24-h urine was collected on the day before, the day of and the day after test, on the last 2 in 3-h portions for measurement of radioactivity.Clearance of unlabelled as well as labelled folic acid was measured in normal Caucasian soldiers (4) and Puerto Rican women with tropical sprue (3); the patients had Hb values ranging from 4 to 6.6; all had megaloblastic haemopoiesis, steatorrhoea and malabsorption of xylose and vitamin A. After 12 min only 18 % of the radioactivity remained in the plasma of patients with untreated sprue and after 1 h only 0.6 %, compared with 37 % and 6% in normal subjects. Values for folicacid-like activity in serum obtained by microbiological estimation and from radioactivity measurements agreed well for normal subjects, but not for the patients with untreated sprue, possibly owing to a change in the chemical form of folic acid. Normal subjects (3) excreted from 23 to 30% of the radioactivity given in urine during the first 24 h, most of it in the first 3 h, and 2 of them 47 and 48% in 48 h; the third had a flushing dose of vitamin B12 instead of folic acid, without effect. For 4 patients with treated sprue [it is not clear if they were the same as those tested with unlabelled vitamin] corresponding values ranged from 20 to 54 and from 40 to 56%, but for the 3 with untreated sprue from 5 to 9.8 and from 20 to 42% [values in text do not all agree with Table V]. Most of the additional folic acid was excreted within 6 h of the flushing dose in all 3 groups. It is suggested that measurement of radioactivity in 3-h urine after injection of 3H-folic acid may be a simple, rapid way of detecting folic acid deficiency.-W. M. Deans.

N2 - The subjects and their diets were as described in Abst. 4222, Vol. 30. Water amounted to 1.59 litres daily, 1.21 as water in the diet and 0.38 litre from metabolic sources. Salt intake was increased every 4 days until about 35 g NaCl was taken daily. Sodium, chloride and water were estimated in faeces and urine and bodyweight was noted daily. Sodium and chloride in the water of the plasma were measured every fourth day and found to be constant. Drinking water was deionised and stored at 5°C; intake of all fluids was accurately measured. For each subject the total amount of Na, Cl and water was measured and from this were deducted the cumulative amounts excreted in the urine and faeces giving the balance of these substances lost from the body surface. Taken in 4 periods the daily total salt intake, expressed as milliosmols per litre of water, was 393, 530, 803, 1104 or, in g, 11.8, 15.8, 23.8 and 32.8, respectively. Collapse from overloading with salt was produced and recovery was slow. The amount of water lost through skin and lungs was approximately 55% of the total intake; loss of salt through skin was 7.87% of total intake. To balance the maximum tolerable intake of salt 270 milliosmols per litre needs 127 ml water per g salt. It is difficult to overload the body with salt if supplies of water are adequate. E. W. H.

N2 - The nutritive value of 12 cooked foods was compared with that of the corresponding cooked products after subsequent dehydration by hot air, or freeze-, vacuum-or spray-drying. Biological value (B.V.), true digestibility and net protein utilization were estimated by the Thomas and Mitchell N balance method, with the modification that endogenous N was measured in separate groups of rats on a diet with 4% protein provided by freeze-dried whole egg. The test materials were given as the sole source of protein to groups of 10 ten-day-old male Sprague Dawley rats for a 10-day experimental period, urine and faeces being collected during the last 7 days.Hot air drying somewhat reduced the B.V. of cabbage, Lima beans and green leaves and the digestibility of red beans, but not of kale and turnip greens, while freeze-dried beef, chicken, fish, fish patties and maize, and spray-dried cheese and a product made from whole egg, condensed skimmed milk and cottonseed oil, showed no noticeable change in protein quality. Rehydration of fish patties, green beans and kale before feeding hardly affected protein utilization. Canning of green beans caused a considerable loss of protein quality.-A. A. Woodham.

N2 - Weanling female albino rats in a control group received a complete synthetic diet containing casein, maize oil and starch, minerals and vitamins. Similar rats received the diet with casein replaced by gluten and energy adjusted with additional starch, to produce lysine deficiency. After 30 days the activity of the fixed macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system was studied by injecting 30 µc 32P in colloidal chromium phosphate and calculating the disappearance rates at intervals from 1 to 30 min. Radioactivity was estimated in liver and spleen also. Spores of a strain of Bacillus anthracis labelled with 131I were heated and after 48 h were given subcutaneously in doses generally of 107 organisms. Lysozyme was estimated in plasma and spleen by Ribble's method (Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 1961, 107, 597). Growth rate was considerably reduced in lysine-deficient rats. Their resistance to B. anthracis was less at all doses, 106 to 109; most deaths occurred within 3 days of inoculation. Addition of lysine with or without methionine to the gluten diet increased resistance, but not to equal that of controls, although growth rates became similar. Lysine deficiency caused decreases in the numbers of circulating leukocytes and platelets, and impaired renal function. The rate of clearance of colloid from the blood was reduced; its concentration in the organs was greater than in controls. The 32p content of faeces from controls was twice that of deficient animals, but the urinary excretion rate of deficient animals was the greater. Urinary excretion of breakdown products from spores labelled with 131I was more rapid in controls; the differences were significant for 3 days after inoculation and then both groups excreted radioactivity at the same rate. It is considered likely that a main cause of the decreased resistance of lysine-deficient rats to anthrax is the inability of the reticuloendothelial system to clear the organism from the blood and then break it down.-V.

Groups of 8 male weanling Holtzman rats were given diets with 12 or 36% casein, Ca 0.6, P 0.36% and Mg 100, 200 or 600 p.p.m. The higher protein level produced better growth with 200 or 600 p.p.m. Mg, but with 100 p.p.m. Mg growth was better at 12% casein level. There was no evidence of any difference in absorption of Ca or Mg. The loss of both in urine was increased by increased protein intake. Ca output also was increased by increased Mg intake. The retention of Mg from the lowest intake was reduced by high protein intake. Total retention of Ca was about the same in all groups. Absorption and excretion of P were not significantly altered by any of the diet changes. Mg concentration in the kidneys was not affected by Mg intake, but there was a slight difference in Mg concentration in the liver of rats on the highest and lowest levels of Mg. Serum Mg varied with intake, and was slightly depressed by high protein at the lowest Mg intake. The concentration of Ca in the kidney was higher in rats given 100 p.p.m. Mg with either level of protein. Protein intake affected Ca in the kidneys at the highest Mg intake only, when there was almost no Ca in the kidneys of the low-protein group. Total protein in serum of rats on the high-protein, low-Mg diet was significantly lower than on the low-protein, low-Mg diet; no other treatment produced significant differences. Excretion of leucine, isoleucine and valine was much increased in rats given 100 or 200 p.p.m. Mg with 12% casein; excretion of serine, methionine and phenylalanine was moderately increased.-M. M.

N2 - Three young men spent about 71/2 h daily for 32 days in a climatic chamber, but the report omits the preliminary and final periods of 8 days and concentrates on 4 successive 4-day periods at 37.8°C and 70% r.h. Daily physical activity was 30 min on a bicycle ergometer. Sweat was collected in an arm-bag and sweat rate was computed from water loss adjusted for loss in urine and faeces but not for respiratory loss. The questions whether arm sweat is truly representative of the whole body and whether the arm-bag affects secretion are left open. Balances of Na, K, Mg, Fe and P were measured. The amounts of Na calculated to have been excreted in total sweat during the 71/2 h daily in the chamber represented from 54 to 68% of total daily Na output and reduced positive balances by about half. Losses of K were more variable; they represented from 19 to 44% of total K output and in each period converted positive to negative balances. Losses of Mg were relatively small, from 15.2 to 17.8 mg in 71/2 h; they represented from 10 to 15.4% of total loss and had little influence on balance. Losses of Fe in sweat were from 0.86 to 1.07 mg; they represented less than 5% of total loss which was mostly in faeces, but they represented about half of apparent retention and reduced balances from between 1.9 and 4.0 to between 1.0 and 3.0 mg daily. Losses of P in sweat were from 3.4 to 9.9 mg and represented a negligible proportion of total output and of balance. The bearing of these results on balance experiments, especially those in hot climates, is discussed. Excretions of Na, K and Fe are not negligible.-D. Duncan.

N2 - Two studies were made with young men who spent 71/2 h daily in a climatic chamber. In the first there were 12 periods of 4 days with temperatures of 21.1°, 29.4° and 37.8°C repeated in random succession, and the 8 subjects worked for two 50-min periods daily on an ergometer. In the second there were four 4-day periods all at 37.8o and 70% r.h., daily activity was limited to 30 min moderate work on the ergometer, and the third night of each period was spent sleeping in the chamber. Sweat was collected in an arm-bag and sweat rate was calculated from weight change adjusted for intake of water and loss in urine and faeces, on the assumption that pulmonary loss was less than 1% of the observed decrease of bodyweight. Complete N balances were measured. In the first study average hourly losses of N in sweat during exposure in the chamber at successively higher temperatures were 149, 189 and 241 mg and they accounted for 9.2, 12.1 and 14.2% of total N output. In the second trial average hourly losses in the 4 successive periods were 310, 219, 207 and 217 mg. When these values were taken for the hours in the chamber and 15 mg N per h was allowed for the rest of the day's losses, total N in sweat per day was of the order of 2 g and throughout the second experiment the values computed served to convert positive N balances to losses of from 1.28 to 2.01 g per day. When nights were spent in the chamber losses during sleep were on 2 nights 88 and 99 mg per h; on those days losses were measured for 21 h and amounted on average to 3.50 and 3.38 g, converting almost equilibrium balances to considerable losses. There was no observable tendency for losses in sweat to be compensated by reduced losses in urine or faeces. It is suggested that sweat losses should not be neglected in study of N balances, and that for men living or working in heat it may be necessary to increase protein allowances by at least 13 to 14% to compensate for loss in sweat. Some values for NH3, urea and individual amino acids in sweat are given. Urea accounted for more than half the total N. Of essential amino acids that in greatest amount was lysine, and asparagine represented half the total non-essential amino acid. D. Duncan.

N2 - The oxygen consumption of 7 young men at 3 levels of activity was measured at ambient temperatures 21°, 29o and 38°C and relative humidity 30%. The experiment was designed to eliminate influences of training and acclimatisation. At all levels of activity oxygen consumption was significantly higher, by about 12%, at 38° than at the lower temperatures. Body temperature was about 0.5°F higher at the high ambient temperature; in itself this elevation of body temperature would account for only about half the observed increase in metabolic rate. The remainder of the increase was ascribed to the increase in work necessary to dissipate heat at the high ambient temperature. It is suggested that dietary allowances for energy intake at high environmental temperatures should be re-examined.-J. M. Brockway.

N2 - Of the 23 hospital patients, 7 had megaloblastic anaemia of sprue and 6 iron-deficiency anaemia from loss of blood by parasitic infection; the other 10 had no anaemia and were taken as controls, 9 having had tropical sprue and 1 a duodenal ulcer. Estimations made were, free and total acid, pH, Na+, K+ and Cl-.Gastric biopsy was performed. After histamine all the control subjects showed a rise in total and free acid, related directly to a rise in Cl- and a fall in Na+. For K+ there was an initial rise, often preceding the peak of H+ and followed by a decline. The fall in pH corresponded to the rise in titratable acidity and C1-. Patients with megaloblastic or iron-deficiency anaemia showed normal acid production and the same pattern of electrolytes as controls. Secretion of H+ after histamine was significantly less in the 13 anaemic patients. There was little difference in pattern of electrolytes in the 2 groups. In anaemic patients, achlorhydria and hypochlorhydria correlated well with the biopsy findings. After correction of the anaemia decreased H+ secretion and gastric lesions persisted; the control subjects showed no evidence of hyposecretion of H+, yet of the 8 for whom biopsy material was studied 4 had diffuse gastric lesions, and all had had megaloblastic anaemia of sprue.-E.

Language: not specified. Registry Number: 59-30-3, 68-26-8, 68-19-9, 58-86-6. N2 - Clinical, haematological, biochemical, histological and X-ray tests were made repeatedly on 20 untreated patients with acute tropical sprue before and during prolonged treatment with folic acid and on 26 with chronic sprue who had been treated with folio acid, alone or with vitamin B12, for 2 to 5 years. In the first group the commonest presenting signs and symptoms were gastro-intestinal; all but one had moderately severe anaemia. Treatment with folio acid produced immediate clinical and haematological improvement which, apart from occasional attacks of diarrhoea, was maintained during the 2 or 3 years of folic acid treatment. Improvement of intestinal function was much slower and less complete. Initially all 20 patients had steatorrhoea, abnormal xylose excretion and low values for vitamin B, 1and carotene in serum; 18 of them had abnormal vitamin A tolerance and 13 of 15 given the Schilling test had abnormal results. Four had histamine-fast achlorhydria. After 3 years' treatment 9 patients still had abnormal xylose excretion, 10 abnormal serum carotene, 8 abnormal vitamin A tolerance, 11 steatorrhoea and one persistent histamine-fast achlorhydria. In 8 serum vitamin B12remained low. Before treatment the bowel pattern shown by X-ray was abnormal in all and after treatment it was still abnormal in all but 7. Similarly, before treatment jejunal biopsy showed villous atrophy of varying but mainly moderate degree in all. Inflammatory infiltration of the lamina propria was moderate in 16, severe in 4. After 2 to 3 years' treatment villous atrophy showed improvement in 17, complete in 7 and almost complete in 2; 2 had not improved and 1 had deteriorated. Treatment produced similar changes in degree of inflammatory infiltration of the lamina propria. Those reversals of abnormal biochemistry, X-ray bowel pattern and mucosal appearances, complete in only 7 patients, took place very slowly, after 6 to 24 months' treatment, and results of the Schilling test remained abnormal in 5 of the 7. The 26 patients with chronic sprue had been treated intermittently with folic acid alone or with vitamin B12for periods of up to 8 years; haematological and clinical remissions had occurred but abnormal biochemical findings persisted. After 2 to 3 years' treatment the results of some of the tests had become normal in less than half of the patients; only 7 gave normal results for all except the Schilling test. In 12 patients jejunal biopsy in the initial acute state showed the same changes as in the first group; serial biopsies during the early period showed a return to a normal mucosal pattern in 5 of them, and improvement in 4 others. At the end 14 of 21 patients studied still showed abnormal changes in the mucosa. Both biochemical and histological recovery occurred in only 7 of the 26 patients after 3 to 5 years' treatment. Four of 11 given antibiotics showed biochemical improvement. In the patients with chronic sprue biochemical evidence of malabsorption was more closely related to inflammatory changes in the lamina propria than to changes in the villous pattern.-L. Wills.

N2 - Folic acid activity was estimated with Streptococcus faecalis by Flynn's method (Abst. 4808, Vol. 19) slightly modified, total activity after incubation of samples with chicken pancreas enzyme before or after filtration. Values are tabulated for about 80 Puerto Rican foods, and for typical low-income diets, 3 urban and 3 rural, raw and cooked. Values for free folic acid in foods were comparable with those of Toepfer et al. (Abst. 1993, Vol. 22) for the United States, as were values for total folic acid when samples had been incubated with chicken pancreas enzyme before filtration; values obtained by incubation after filtration were much higher, which suggested that the food residue might contain an inhibitor of glutamate conjugase. The higher values are considered to give a truer estimate of total folic acid activity. Total activity was slightly higher in the more varied urban diets than in the rural; they differed little in free activity. Values for free activity in raw diets were higher by direct estimation in the whole diet than by calculation from values for individual foods. Loss in cooking varied widely, from 0 to 40% of total and from 0 to 45% of free activity. Incubation of samples of 2 diets with intestinal juice from 2 patients with sprue gave much the same values as incubation with chicken pancreas, which showed that the patients did not lack the conjugase; values were again much higher if filtration preceded incubation. Sheehy et al. (Abst. 4287, Vol. 32) found that some patients with severe megaloblastic anaemia of tropical sprue responded dramatically to as little as 25 µg synthetic folic acid daily, yet the diets studied here contained as much or more free and much more total folic acid activity. It is considered possible that much of the folic acid activity in Puerto Rican diets differs from synthetic folic acid.-V. R. Jackson. See also Absts. 4880, 4882.

N2 - Eight healthy young men, aged 19 to 22, were allowed a constant daily ration containing, in g, protein 106, fat 124, carbohydrate 374, ash 19, crude fibre 5, supplying 3230 kcal and 690 mg Liebermann Burchard positive sterols. After a 16-day adjustment period there followed a 12-day control period, 24 days of treatment and a 12-day recovery period. During treatment 5 men received 2.0 g neomycin sulfate daily and 3 received 400 mg polymyxin B sulfate and 120, 000 units bacitracin U.S.P. daily, all given by mouth in 4 doses. Serum lipids were estimated in fasting blood samples taken every sixth day. Proximate composition, neutral sterols and bile acids were estimated in bulked 6-day faeces. During the treatment period only one man lost weight. All reported an increase in the number and volume of stools while taking antibiotics, returning to normal immediately afterwards. Coliform colonies disappeared for all 5 men on neomycin treatment and were reduced to pinpoints or disappeared in the other group. Total cholesterol in serum fell significantly during antibiotic treatment. The mean values with S.D., in mg per 100 ml, for the initial 6-day pretreatment period, the last 6 days of treatment and the final post-treatment period for the neomycin group were 193 ± 22, 135 ± 13 and 191 ± 13 and for the polymyxin group 222 ± 15, 184 ± 8 and 215 ± 9. Lipid P values fell less, not remaining significantly lower throughout treatment in either group. For the same periods mean total bile acids in faeces, in mg per day, were 843 ± 29, 2114 ± 593 and 454 ± 277 for the neomycin group and 704 ± 250, 1484 ± 264 and 404 ± 157 for the polymyxin group. The significant increases were mainly in the cholic acid fraction. Liebermann Burchard positive sterols and digitonin-precipitable sterols also increased significantly in both groups during treatment. P. A. Tallantire.

N2 - Seven healthy young men, ages 19 to 23 years, weights 70.2 to 97.5 kg, were confined to a metabolism ward, except for supervised exercise, and given a controlled diet providing 2820 kcal daily for 3 periods of 4 weeks. Protein and fat intakes in g and cholesterol in mg in the periods were: 32.7, 97, 185; 106.3, 105, 180; and 32.3, 111, 198. Average values at intervals for N balance, serum protein and bodyweight are tabulated, also average values at 7-day intervals of ester, free and total cholesterol, lipid P and glycerides in plasma. The only fraction that showed a significant difference when the diet protein rose by addition of 100 g dried, desugared egg white, free from fat and cholesterol, was the glyceride which rose from 98 + 56 mg per 100 ml at the end of the first 4 weeks to 175 ± 44 at the end of the highprotein period and fell only to 120 ± 18 at the end of the second low-protein period. Diet protein therefore does not appear to influence plasma lipid levels in man. Weight was lost progressively during both low-protein periods; it changed little while the highprotein diet was eaten.-I. Leitch.

N2 - Puerto Ricans, 14 in number and in hospital with microcytic hypochromic anaemia and heavy infestation with hookworm, were tested before and after treatment, for fat in faeces, absorption of vitamin A and xylose, radiographically after barium meals and by biopsy of jejunum. The same number of other subjects without symptoms but of whom 6 had hookworm and 8 had other parasites were controls. Tetrachlorethylene was administered and when worm burden was reduced iron was given by vein as Proferrin, between 1 and 2 g Fe in from 7 to 14 days. Absorption of vitamin A was abnormal in 8 and that of xylose in 10 of the patients before treatment; after treatment it was improved in 6 and 9 of them. Among the controls only 3 showed abnormality of one or other of these tests or in amount of fat in faeces. Radiographically the deficiency pattern was minimum in 5, moderate in 7 and severe in 2 patients; among the controls 3 with hookworm showed the minimum grade. In biopsy specimens from patients villi were shortened and broadened and columnar cells were often disoriented. The 6 controls who had hookworm showed no significant change.-D. Harvey.

N2 - Groups of 10 male chicks 7 days old were fed on diets containing 18% protein provided by soya bean meal supplemented with 0.54% DL-methionine or by algal proteins, a mixed preparation of Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella ellipsoida, or Chlorella pyrenoidosa, or Spongiococcum excentricum. The weight gains in 3 weeks were 87, 9 and 13 g, respectively, on the algal proteins and 237 g on the soya bean diet. The protein efficiency ratios (P.E.R.) were reduced from 3.04 for the soya bean diet to 1.55, 0.31 and 0.43. When the diet containing the mixed algal protein was supplemented with 0.8 % methionine, 0.2% tryptophan, 0.73% arginine, 0.75% glycine, 0.6% threonine, 0.2% histidine and 0.5% lysine the weight gain in 3 weeks was increased to 124 g. Omission of glycine reduced the gain to 96 g and omission of methionine reduced it to 78 g. Supplementation with 1% glycine or 0.8% methionine alone had no effect, but with both the weight gain in 3 weeks was increased to 129 g. Groups of 10 male albino rats, 40 to 50 g weight, were fed on diets containing 15% protein provided by casein or by the algal proteins as above. Weight gains in 3 weeks were 112 g on casein, and 60, 38 and 9 g, respectively, on algal proteins. P.E.R. was 2.5 for the casein diet, and 1.38, 0.94 and 0.34 for the algal proteins. Supplementation of the diet containing C. pyrenoidosa with methionine, tryptophan, lysine, threonine and histidine increased weight gain in 19 days from 51 to 70 g. Omission of histidine or methionine from the mixture reduced weight gain to 52 and 50 g, respectively. Addition of methionine alone increased weight gain to 65 g. M. M. Barnes.

Registry Number: 74-79-3, 57-88-5, 56-87-1, 63-68-3, 73-22-3. N2 - Male Hy-line chicks from a week old received diets with 5% maize oil and with 10 or 25% protein supplied as soya bean or sesame oilmeal; for individual groups amino acids or cholesterol were added. After 3 weeks plasma was obtained by heart puncture for estimation of cholesterol. The soya bean protein, low in methionine, when given at 10% produced poor weight gain and higher plasma cholesterol values than at 25%. When the lower level was supplemented with methionine, 1% or more of total protein, there was significantly less increase of plasma cholesterol and better weight gain although results were not equal to those with the higher protein level. Methionine added to the diet with 25% soya bean protein did not stimulate growth but at 1 0 or 3.0% of the protein did reduce plasma cholesterol, though at 4.0% it did not. When 1% cholesterol was added to the diet methionine retained its effect at the lower protein level but was not significantly effective at the higher. The sesame seed protein, low in lysine, gave no weight gain at 10% and little at 25%. Added lysine alone or with methionine, tryptophan or arginine gave only a small improvement of growth at the low protein level but lysine at 3.5% of the total protein gave good gains when the protein level was 25 % and was not further improved by the other amino acids. As with soya protein, sesame protein at the lower intake gave relatively high plasma cholesterol values, which were somewhat reduced by lysine at the 3.5 or 4.5% level but not at 2.5%. The addition of lysine even at 2.5% significantly reduced plasma cholesterol when protein was 25%, and the other amino acids were without effect. D. Duncan.

Registry Number: 9000-70-8, 127-09-3, 59-43-8, 92-35-3. N2 - Drawbacks of the thiochrome and yeast fermentation methods of estimating thiamine in human urine are avoided in the "yeast resynthesis " method described, which depends on the ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Fleischmann's dried baker's yeast) to synthesise thiamine from equimolar amounts of pyrimidine and thiazole. The pyrimidine and thiazole moieties can be estimated separately also. Preliminary tests showed that optimum pH for synthesis of thiamine by yeast from its moieties was 5 and that synthesis was quantitative in presence of urine. Four 10-ml portions of urine are placed in 4 Erlenmeyer flasks. In the first, intact thiamine is estimated by the thiochrome method. The incubation medium of Kline and Friedman (Cattell, Biol. Symposia, 1947, 12, 65) and a 3% yeast suspension are added to the other 3; to the third, excess of pyrimidine equivalent to 100 µg thiamine, and to the fourth, the same excess of thiazole. The flasks are swirled gently and let stand for 18 h at room temperature with occasional swirling. HSO4 is added to bring the pH to between 1 and 2 and the flasks are heated on a steam bath for 30 min, then allowed to cool. A 10% solution (w/v) of Polidase S in 2 N sodium acetate is added, the pH is adjusted to between 4.0 and 4.5 and the flasks are incubated at 50°C for 3 h with frequent swirling. After cooling and making the contents of the flasks up to volume, portions are centrifuged and the supernatant is applied to a column of Decalso, from which interfering N1-methylnicotinamide is eluted with glacial acetic acid and sodium acetate, and thiamine with acid KCl. Thiamine is then estimated by the A.O.A.C. thiochrome method (8th ed., 1955). The difference between the results for the first 2 flasks gives the amount of thiamine synthesised by yeast from equimolar amounts of pyrimidine and thiazole, the difference between the third and the second gives any excess of thiazole and that between the fourth and the second any excess of pyrimidine. Illustrative results are quoted from 2 feeding experiments, not concerned with thiamine metabolism. The basal diet supplied about 3000 kcal daily and protein 82, fat 150 and carbohydrate 335 g. In the first test 6 subjects had a supplement of 70 g protein from skimmed milk powder, in the second 8 had 70 g gelatin. Intake of thiamine was maintained at 1.8 mg daily throughout. Both supplements significantly increased the amounts of thiamine moieties in the 24-h urine; only the protein supplement increased intact thiamine. N1-methylnicotinamide, estimated by the method of Huff and Perlzweig (Abst. 433, Vol. 17) was not significantly affected. The amount of thiamine excreted was of the same order as that reported by Mickelsen et al. (Abst. 2481, Vol. 17) who used the yeast fermentation method, but the amounts of the moieties were at least 3 times as great. W. M. Deans.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 174 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Department of Defense (DoD) has mandated development of a system to collect and manage data on the weight, percent body fat (%BF), and fitness of all military personnel. This project aimed to (1) develop a computerized weight and fitness database to track individuals and Army units over lime allowing cross-sectional and longitudinal evaluations and (2) test the computerized system for feasibility and integrity of data collection over several years of usage. The computer application, the Military Services Fitness Database (MSFD), was designed for (1) storage and tracking of data related to height, weight, %BF tot the Army Weight Control Program (AWCP) and Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and (2) generation of reports using these data. A 2.5-year pilot test of the MSFD indicated that it monitors population and individual trends of changing body weight, %BF, and fitness in a military population.

Testing was conducted using two loading conditions simulated to represent those conditions created in the field. The lower condition was represented by a 24-kg mass impactor with a velocity of 4.7 m/s. The higher loading condition was represented by a 37-kg mass impactor with a velocity of 8.3 m/s. Two biomechanical surrogates were evaluated using the loading conditions: 50th percentile Hybrid III foot/ankle and Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint THOR-Lx. Comparisons of the force-time response were made to established corridors. Results show a better correlation to the corridors with the THOR-Lx; however, future improvements to the THOR-Lx are recommended.

U.S. Army paratroopers rely on their ballistic helmets for protection against TBIs when jumping. Currently, two different helmets are available to Army paratroopers, that is, the personnel tumor system for ground troops helmet and the advanced combat helmet. This study compared the incidence of self reported, jump-related TBIs in a small sample of paratroopers (N - 585) using each type of helmet. Data were obtained from surveys of soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The overall relative risk of sustaining a TBI while jumping was 2.3 times (95% confidence interval, 1.3-4.3) higher for personnel armor system for ground troops helmet users. Most of the increase in risk was accounted for by the most-minor TBIs American Academy of Neurology grade I or 2 concussion).

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2008/10// VL - 173 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 968 EP - 974 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Biomedical ethics training during graduate medical education programs is required by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Apart from this requirement, medical ethics education is an integral component of military medical practice. Although ethics education and training are required, tools to assess the effectiveness of ethics education are not well developed. Furthermore, although biomedical ethics education is mandated for new Army physician trainees, there has not been a systematic objective assessment of the effectiveness of that training. We report the concept underlying the design and implementation of a military biomedical ethics seminar for new Army physician trainees. Combining a didactic component and case analysis through small-group discussions, we emphasized providing tools to analyze ethical dilemmas both in the medical center environment and in the operational medicine environment. A total of 47 Army interns participated in the seminar. Eighty-nine percent of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the ethics orientation met expectations. Seventy-two percent agreed or strongly agreed that the information presented would affect their practice. Ninety-six percent thought that the small-group discussions were effective, and 80% thought that the presentations enhanced knowledge from medical school.

This study refines the model with data from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Inpatient health care records of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to OEF and OIF who were admitted with DNBI diagnoses were analyzed. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were compared with rates for Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were lower than those tor Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. Rates among the phases of OIF were distinctly different. DNBI admission rates have been reduced during recent deployments. The concepts of the original model based on Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm data were validated by experiences during OEF and OIF. Continuous surveillance of DNBI admission rates is recommended.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 173 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 677 EP - 683 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The United States faces many existing and emerging mosquito-borne disease threats, such as West Nile virus and Rift Valley fever. An important component of strategic prevention and control plans for these and other mosquito-borne diseases is forecasting the distribution, timing, and abundance of mosquito vector populations. Populations of many medically important mosquito species are closely tied to climate, and historical climate-population associations may be used to predict future population dynamics, Using 2003-2005 U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine mosquito surveillance data, we looked at populations of several known mosquito vectors of West Nile virus, as well as possible mosquito vectors of Rift Valley lever virus, at continental U.S. military installations. We compared population changes with concurrent patterns for a satellite-derived index of climate (normalized difference vegetation index) and observed instances of population changes appearing to be direct responses to climate. These preliminary findings are important first steps in developing an automated, climate-driven, early warning system to flag regions of the United States at elevated risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command & Control Evacuation System database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2003 to 2004. The study found 327 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 11/10,000 soldiers per year) and 47 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21/10,000 soldiers per year), for a total of 374 MEDEVACS. Forty-two percent (n = 158) of all oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Another 36% (n = 136) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, caused by acts of war. Twenty-one percent (n = 80) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, mainly caused by motor vehicle accidents and fighting.

Methods: Injury data were collected each week at two clinics serving two geographically separated military training units. Weekly injury rates were calculated as the number of injured soldiers in each battalion (numerator) divided by the total number of soldiers in each battalion (denominator). A two-way analysis of variance examined weekly injury rates according to training unit and season of the year. Correlations between injury rates and average maximal temperatures were also examined. Results: Analysis of variance indicated significant differences in injury rates according to training unit (p = 0.04) and season (p < 0.01 ) but no significant interaction between unit and season (p = 0.16). Injury rates in the summer were higher than injury rates in the winter or autumn. Coefficients for correlations between weekly injury rates and weekly average maximal temperatures were 0.71 and 0.88 for the two training units. Conclusions: These data support previous work in U.S. Army basic combat training indicating a seasonal effect on injury rates. Higher environmental temperatures were associated with higher injury rates.

We describe a quantitative algorithmic method (the Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm) that uses Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center information to determine which naturally occurring pathogens pose the most substantial threat to U.S. deployed forces in the absence of specific mitigating countermeasures. The Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm scores the relative importance of various diseases by taking into account both their severity and the likelihood of infection on a country-by-country basis. In such an analysis, the top three endemic disease threats to U.S. deployed threes are malaria, bacteria-caused diarrhea, and dengue fever.

These efforts included core field preventive medicine but quickly extended into other efforts. In collaboration with the host nation and other organizations, the preventive medicine team performed additional support for operations outside the U.S. compound, including water and sanitation assessments of camps for internally displaced persons, communicable disease investigation and control, and vaccination programs. Preventive medicine personnel were vital to health diplomacy efforts in this operation, particularly because of security concerns that prevented other U.S. medical assets from leaving the compound. Comparisons with the U.S. responses during other humanitarian operations are made. Preventive medicine missions in health diplomacy will continue to increase. Training and collaborative relationships with other government agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, and with nongovernmental organizations should continue to be developed.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 27 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 317 EP - 322 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a commonly used military explosive, was detected as a contaminant of soil and water at Army facilities and ranges. This study was conducted to determine the relative oral bioavailability of RDX in contaminated soil and to develop a method to derive bioavailability adjustments for risk assessments using rodents. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats preimplanted with femoral artery catheters were dosed orally with gelatin capsules containing either pure RDX or an equivalent amount of RDX in contaminated soils from Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) (2300 μ g/g of soil) or Fort Meade (FM) (670 μ g/g of soil). After dosing rats, blood samples were collected from catheters at 2-h intervals (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) and at 24 and 48 h. RDX levels in the blood were determined by gas chromatography. The results show that the peak absorption of RDX in blood was 6 h for neat RDX (1.24 mg/kg) and for RDX from contaminated soil (1.24 mg/kg) of LAAP. Rats dosed with RDX-contaminated FM soil (0.2 mg/kg) showed peak levels of RDX in blood at 6 h, whereas their counterparts that received an identical dose (0.2 mg/kg) of neat RDX showed peak absorption at 4 h. The blood levels of absorbed RDX from LAAP soil were about 25% less than for neat RDX, whereas the bioavailability of RDX from FM soils was about 15% less than that seen in rats treated with neat RDX (0.2 mg/kg). The oral bioavailability in rats fed RDX in LAAP soil and the FM soil was reduced with the neat compound but decrease in bioavailability varied with the soil type.

As part of the Neurocognition Deployment Health Study procedures, each soldier completed at both time points self-report indexes of PTSD symptom severity, health behaviors (smoking, alcohol use), and somatic health-related functioning. Participants also completed a health-symptom checklist at the postdeployment assessment. Structural equation modeling revealed that postdeployment PTSD severity was associated with change in somatic health-related functioning, with postdeployment health symptoms as an intermediary variable. These relationships were independent of health risk behaviors, which had little association with somatic symptoms or PTSD. Our findings highlight the functional impact of PTSD, which extends beyond psychological symptoms to health-related daily functioning.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 20 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 821 EP - 828 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - We determined acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) following inhalation exposure to chemical threat nerve agent (CTNA) sarin. Age- and weight-matched male guinea pigs were exposed to five different doses of sarin (169.3, 338.7, 508, 677.4, and 846.5 mg/m3) using a microinstillation inhalation exposure technique for 4 min. The technique involves aerosolization of the agent in the trachea using a microcatheter with a center hole that delivers the agent and multiple peripheral holes that pumps air to aerosolize the agent at the tip. Animals exposed to higher doses of sarin occasionally developed seizures and succumbed to death within 15 min after exposure. The LCt50 for sarin using the microinstillation technique was determined to be close to 677.4 mg/m3. Ear blood AChE activity showed a dose-dependent inhibition at 15 min postexposure. The inhibition of blood AChE remained constant over 35 and 55 min after sarin exposure indicating that there was no lung depot effect. Cardiac blood AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity in surviving animals euthanized at 24 h postexposure showed a dose-dependent inhibition with an inhibition of 60% at 677.4 and 846.5 mg/m3 sarin exposure. AChE and BChE activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) showed a slight increase at 338.7 to 677.4 mg/m3 sarin exposure but a marginal inhibition at 169.3 mg/m3. In contrast, the AChE protein levels determined by immunoblotting showed an increase at 169.3 mg/m3 in the BALF. The BALF protein level, a biomarker of lung injury, was increased maximally at 338.7 mg/m3 and that increase was dropped with an increase in the dose of sarin. The BALF protein levels correlated with the AChE and BChE activity. These data suggest that sarin microinstillation inhalation exposure results in respiratory toxicity and lung injury characterized by changes in lavage AChE, BChE, and protein levels.

Data revealed significant dose-dependent changes in several pulmonary parameters. Animals exposed to a DDVP concentration of 35 mg/m3 did not show any significant changes in frequency, tidal volume, or minute ventilation. However, animals exposed to 55 mg/m3 DDVP showed significantly decreased respiratory frequency and significantly increased tidal volume with no significant changes in minute ventilation. Similarly, animals exposed to 75 mg/m3 DDVP showed significantly decreased respiratory frequency along with significantly increased tidal volume. The decreased respiratory frequency was large enough in the high exposure group to offset the increased tidal volume. This effect resulted in significantly decreased minute ventilation by the end of exposure, which remained attenuated 10 min after exposure. An analysis of whole-blood cholinesterase activity revealed significantly decreased activity for both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butylcholinesterase (BChE). Peak inhibition occurred for both enzymes at the end of exposure for all three concentrations and rapidly recovered within several minutes of exposure. Analysis of blood samples using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) revealed that minute ventilation may only play a minimal role in the dosimetry of inhaled DDVP vapor.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 149 EP - 156 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - The nerve agent O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate, also known as soman or by its military designation GD, is a highly toxic organophosphorous compound that exerts its effects through inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In the present study, a fluoride ion based regeneration assay was developed to quantify the level of soman present in the blood of rats following a low-level whole-body inhalation exposure. It was hypothesized that the amount of regenerated nerve agent in the blood would be dose dependent in rats subjected to a whole-body inhalation exposure to a low-level dose of soman vapor, and that the fluoride ion-based regeneration method would be more sensitive for the detection of a low-level exposure to soman vapor than the measurement of whole blood AChE activity. Regenerated soman was dose-dependently detected in both the red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma of exposed rats at all concentrations tested (0.033-0.280 mg/m3 for a 240-min exposure). Significant inhibition of whole blood AChE activity did not occur below a concentration of 0.101 mg/m3, and was only depressed by approximately 10-25% at concentrations ranging from 0.101 mg/m3 to 0.280 mg/m3. This study is the first to utilize a fluoride ion-based regeneration assay to demonstrate the dose-dependent increases in soman in the blood following whole-body inhalation exposure to low levels of vapor. Additionally, the results of the present study demonstrate that the fluoride ion based regeneration assay was approximately threefold more sensitive than the measurement of AChE activity in the blood for the detection of exposure to soman, and also that miosis is a more sensitive marker of soman exposure than inhibition of AChE activity.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 579 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a compound used widely in bursting-type munitions, is a concern for the U.S. Department of Defense because it has been detected in soil and groundwater at military installations. Dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from acetone solutions and from two different soils was studied using excised human skin (from surgery) in flow-through diffusion cells. RDX in acetone (10 μL) or in soils (10 mg) was applied to the epidermal surface of the skin (0.64 cm2) and allowed to transverse the skin and become dissolved in a reservoir of receptor fluid that was maintained in contact with the dermal surface. The reservoir was of the flow-through type and receptor fluid was pumped at a rate of 1.5 mL/h. Receptor fluid was collected every 6 h for 24 h. Because the bioavailability of a chemical from soils depends on soil composition, dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from both a low-carbon (1.9%) and a high-carbon (9.5%) soil was assessed. At the conclusion of the experiment, the RDX remaining on the skin was washed with soap and water using cotton swabs, and the radioactivity present in washings was determined. The stratum corneum was removed from the deeper epidermis and radioactivity found in that layer was not considered in calculations of dermal absorption. The dermal absorption of RDX was relatively low. Only about 5.7 ± 1.9% of the RDX that had been applied in acetone was found in the skin (epidermis and dermis) (3.2 ± 1.9) and receptor fluid (2.5 ± 1.8) combined (over the full 24-h duration of the study). The levels of RDX found in the skin layers were stratum corneum 2.1%, epidermis 0.83%, and dermis 0.45%. The total recovery of applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 80%. The extent of RDX absorption from soil was even lower than from acetone. Approximately 2.6 ± 1.1% of the RDX applied in the low-carbon soil and 1.4 ± 0.41% applied in the high-carbon soil was found in receptor fluid and skin in 24 h. The total recovery of the applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 87% for the low-carbon soil and 94% for the high-carbon soil. Thus, the dermal absorption of RDX from soils was reduced considerably when compared with absorption from acetone and absorption was lower in the high-carbon soil than in the low-carbon soil.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 355 EP - 362 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - Although normally regarded as a vesicant, inhalation of sulphur mustard (HD) vapor can cause life-threatening lung injury for which there is no specific treatment. Novel therapies for HD-induced lung injury are best investigated in an in vivo model that allows monitoring of a range of physiological variables. HD vapor was generated using two customized thermostatically controlled glass flasks in parallel. The vapor was passed into a carrier flow of air (81 L· min-1) and down a length of glass exposure tube (1.75 m). A pig was connected to the midpoint of the exposure tube via a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined endotracheal tube, Fleisch pneumotachograph, and sample port. HD vapor concentrations (40-122.8 mg. m-3) up-and downstream of the point of exposure were obtained by sampling onto Porapak absorption tubes with subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-flame photometric detection. Real-time estimates of vapor concentration were determined using a photo-ionization detector. Lung function indices (respiratory volumes, lung compliance, and airway resistance) were measured online throughout. Trial runs with methylsalicylate (MS) and animal exposures with HD demonstrated that the exposure system rapidly reached the desired concentration within 1 min and maintained stable output throughout exposure, and that the MS/HD concentration decayed rapidly to zero when switched off. A system is described that allows reproducible exposure of HD vapor to the lung of anesthetized white pigs. The system has proved to be robust and reliable and will be a valuable tool in assessing potential future therapies against HD-induced lung injury in the pig. Crown Copyright (c) 2007 Dstl.

When polyclonal anti-deglycosylated ricin A-chain antibody (dgA Ab) was administered between 1-18 hr after ricin challenge, all animals survived while delayed treatment to 24 hr resulted in 30% survival. The protective effects of dgA Ab correlated with inhibition of apoptosis in the lungs in vivo and in RAW264.7 macrophage and Jurkat T cells in vitro. In addition, ricin-induced cell cytotoxicity was inhibited by both dgA Ab and RAC18 monoclonal antibody against ricin A-chain. Administration of RAC18 monoclonal antibody at 4, 18, and 24 hr after ricin exposure resulted in 100%, 60% and 50% protection, respectively, suggesting that the therapeutic window for passive vaccination extended to at least 24 hr post-ricin lung challenge.

JO - Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, American Volume JF - Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, American Volume Y1 - 2013/03/06/ VL - 95 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 439 EP - 445 SN - 00219355 AB - Background: Little is known about the risk factors for glenohumeral joint instability. We hypothesized that a prior history of instability would be a significant risk factor for subsequent injury. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study over a four-year period within a high-risk group of young athletes to address the research hypothesis. Subjects were freshmen entering the U.S. Military Academy in June of 2006. Part of the baseline assessment included documenting a prior history of glenohumeral instability on entry into the study. All subjects were followed for subsequent glenohumeral joint instability events until graduation in May of 2010. The primary outcome of interest in this study was time to glenohumeral instability event during the follow-up period. We examined injury outcomes, looking for any instability, anterior instability, and posterior instability events. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Among the 714 subjects, eight shoulders were excluded from the analyses due to prior surgical stabilization, leaving 1420 shoulders, of which 126 had a self-reported prior history of instability. There were forty-six (thirty-nine anterior and seven posterior) acute instability events documented in the cohort during the follow-up period. Subjects with a prior history of instability were over five times (p < 0.001) more likely to sustain an acute (anterior or posterior) instability event during the follow-up period. Subjects with a history of instability were also 5.6 times (p < 0.001) more likely to experience a subsequent anterior instability event and 4.6 times (p = 0.068) more likely to experience a posterior instability event during follow-up. Similar results were observed in multivariable models after controlling for the influence of demographic and baseline physical examination findings. Conclusions: Despite meeting the rigorous physical induction standards for military service, subjects with a prior history of glenohumeral joint instability were approximately five times more likely to experience a subsequent instability event, regardless of direction, within this high-risk athletic population. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The types of chemical warfare agents (CWA), their principal target organs, and physiological effects are discussed. We have reviewed the use of CWA in 20th century warfare and otherwise with emphasis on five cases: (1) use of sulfur mustard during World War I; (2) use by Italy against Ethiopia; (3) use in the Sino-Japanese War; (4) relatively well-studied use in the Iran-Iraq conflict; and (5) the use of sarin in the Tokyo subway terrorist incident. We reviewed the additional physiological and psychological consequences of their use and threat of use. Results from training and simulation are discussed. Finally, we present our conclusions derived from the analysis of these historical situations.

It functions as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, including those involved in DNA and RNA replication and protein synthesis. Soldiers represent a unique population faced with intense metabolic and mental demands, as well as exposure to various immune challenges. Some of these factors may affect their dietary zinc requirements. Although severe zinc deficiency is unlikely to occur, some soldiers may experience less than optimal zinc status because of diminished intake coupled with increased requirements. For those soldiers, supplemental dietary zinc may serve a protective function in numerous disease states affecting modern warfighters. This review highlights the importance of adequate zinc nutriture to soldiers and discusses the potential benefits of supplemental zinc in a number of diseases currently affecting soldiers, including diarrhea, respiratory diseases, malaria, and leishmaniasis.

In fact, much of modern research ethics is grounded in events that occurred in the context of war or government-sponsored research. Despite these similarities and common origins, research in the military has additional requirements designed to preserve service members' informed consent rights. The special nature of the superior-subordinate relationship in the military necessitates careful protections to avoid perceptions of coercion or undue influence on a military subject. Additionally, current legal and regulatory requirements for advanced informed consent significantly restrict the flexibility of the military to conduct research using waiver of consent. This has implications on the ability of the nation to develop effective medical treatments for the global war on terrorism. Nevertheless, work is under way to realign defense research policy with the norms of civilian biomedical practice. Future directions include the adoption of waivers for military emergency research, and the cautious introduction of human subject studies on the battlefield. This paper discusses historical background, regulatory differences, and concerns and challenges of some of these regulatory differences for research personnel that apply to informed consent and waiver of said informed consent for emergency research conducted by the U.S. military.

The strongest predictor for infection is a person's number of lifetime sex partners. The natural history includes first-episode mucocutaneous infection, establishment of latency in the dorsal root ganglion, and subsequent reactivation. Most infections are transmitted via asymptomatic viral shedding. Classic outbreaks consist of a skin prodrome and possible constitutional symptoms such as headache, fever, and inguinal lymphadenopathy. As the infection progresses, papules, vesicles on an erythematous base, and erosions appear over hours to days. These lesions usually crust, re-epithelialize, and heal without scarring. First-episode infections are more extensive: primary lesions last two to six weeks versus approximately one week for lesions in recurrent disease. Atypical manifestations are common. Infected persons experience a median of four recurrences per year after their first episode, but rates vary greatly. Genital herpes simplex virus type 2 recurs six times more frequently than type 1. Viral culture is preferred over polymerase chain reaction testing for diagnosis. Serologic testing can be useful in persons with a questionable history. Effective oral antiviral medications are available for initial, episodic, and suppressive therapy but are not a cure. There is some evidence that alternative therapies such as L-lysine, zinc, and some herbal preparations may offer some benefit. Counseling patients about the risk of transmission is crucial and helps prevent the spread of disease and neonatal complications.

Sprague Dawley rats of both sexes weighing 120 to 150 g had each diet with unirradiated vitamin supplements. The test continued to 15 weeks of life of the 3rd filial generation. Differences were: weight gain in 3rd generation females slightly less on test than on control diet, perhaps an effect of the small number of rats used; variations in reproduction which did not indicate toxicity but suggested that this should be watched in future work; a not significantly higher incidence of multiple neoplasm in both sexes on test than on control diet; greater activity of liver cytochrome oxidase in male rats on test than in females on test or in either sex on control diet. There was no difference attributable to irradiation of diet in mortality, incidence of disease, or in 5 other liver and blood enzymes. The effect on liver cytochrome oxidase is being studied.-M.

N2 - After a week on commercial diet chicks were given diets with 10% protein without or with 0.3% cholesterol, or 20% protein without or with 2% cholesterol. Weight gains were much less on the low-protein diets but were not affected by cholesterol. The low-protein diet alone caused an increase of ester cholesterol, glycerides and lipid P in serum and with cholesterol all the increases were larger. With the normal protein intake cholesterol increased both free and ester cholesterol and lipid P but had little effect on glycerides in serum. The chicks given more protein excreted more bile acids per kg bodyweight daily and cholesterol had a similar and additive effect. On the diets without added cholesterol there was a highly significant positive correlation between total cholesterol and phospholipids in plasma and the ratio between them showed little change, but when cholesterol was given the increase of plasma cholesterol was greater and the ratio rose.

N2 - A man aged 30 had a high serum cholesterol value which was shown to be familial, but he had no symptom; xanthomatous lesions were present on both Achilles tendons and on extensor tendons of both hands. Before the study serum cholesterol values on different occasions were from 398 to 536 mg per 100 ml. The subject consented to take a number of diets for different periods and metabolic studies were made. Besides a control diet considered ideal for his weight and activity and composed of foods similar to his usual choice, there were a low-fat diet in which the percentage of energy obtained from fats was reduced from 40 to 9, and 2 diets with normal fat intake but with 42 and 90 g maize oil replacing the usual food fats. Serum cholesterol was relatively low, 312 mg per 100 ml, in the first period on the control diet. It rose when low-fat diet was given, remained unchanged on the diet with lower level of maize oil, but rose again on restoration of control diet. There was a fall when the higher level of maize oil was introduced, and a smaller fall when the control diet was given with MER/29 (Triparanol), but none of the subsequent values was as low as the initial one. Values are shown also for other lipid fractions in serum. Although the patient was resistant to the effects of diet, the higher level of maize oil continued for a longer period might be useful.-D.

N2 - Thirty Puerto Rican patients with megaloblastic anaemia associated with tropical sprue were given a diet supplying daily 50 to 70 µg free and 1000 to 1500 µg bound folio acid activity, estimated with Streptococcus faecalis and chick pancreas conjugase, and Fe (Proferrin) by daily intravenous injection, 1 g over a 7-day period. Jejunal biopsy showed atrophy of the villi in all patients, and 23 had intestinal parasites. Tests for malabsorption included those for xylose tolerance (Abst. 1191, Vol. 32), vitamin A absorption and fat in faeces. A week after completion of treatment with Fe, the patients were given a " minute " dose, 25 µg, of folio acidas Folvite daily. If haematological remission did not occur, the amount was increased by 25 µg every 7 to 10 days (" titrated " doses), up to 100 µg daily. If that was ineffective, the amount of folic acid was increased by 50 µg every 7 days and it was given by injection. Four of 6 patients who had not improved when treated with antibiotics (Abst. 2685, Vol. 32), and 7 others who had had no treatment other than with Fe, responded to the lowest dose of folic acid. Eight patients responded when given between 50 and 250 µg folic acid daily. Of the remaining 11, 6 responded to between 1 and 15 mg folic acid daily and 4 to between 0.25 and 15 µg vitamin B12 given by inj ection. Six patients from the first group were maintained for from 2 to 18 months on 25 µg folic acid daily, but 4 of them eventually relapsed. Values for vitamin B12 in serum, estimated with Euglena gracilis, ranged from 15 to 200 µµg per ml before treatment; 25 of the patients had 100 or less, and those with more were in the group which responded to 25 µg folic acid daily. In 2 of the patients who relapsed, relapse was preceded by a fall of vitamin B12 in serum. Survival of red cells labelled with 51Cr was decreased in the 10 patients studied, and uptake of 59Fe by red cells in 9 of the 10.-D. B. Paintin.

N2 - Vitamin B12 was estimated with Euglena gracilis in serum of Puerto Rican patients with tropical sprue; mean values and standard deviations were, in µµg per ml, 60 ± 45 for 40 untreated patients, 175 ± 104 for 20 treated successfully with folic acid, 874 ± 104 for 10 treated successfully with vitamin B12 by injection, and 403 ± 154 for 20 normal subjects. Many of the treated patients were included in previous studies (Butterworth and Perez-Santiago, Ann. Int. Med., 1958, 48, 8; Title 1162, Vol. 31; Abst. 1191, Vol. 32; and following Abst.). Mean percentage excretion in urine of radioactivity in 24 h after 0.5 µg 60Co-vitamin B12 had been given by mouth, followed 2 h later by an injection of 1000 µg unlabelled vitamin, was 3.3 ± 2.9 for 12 untreated and 4.9 ± 5.1 for 20 treated patients. Simultaneous administration of intrinsic factor slightly increased absorption of labelled vitamin in the untreated but not in the treated group. In 10 patients clinical and haematological remission followed injection of 30 µg vitamin B12 weekly, and 5 patients responded to the 1000 µg injected during the absorption test. The other untreated patients were given folic acid before the effect of vitamin B12 was assessed. It was concluded that malabsorption of vitamin B12 occurs in tropical sprue and is only partly corrected by treatment with folic acid. D. B. Paintin.

N2 - A mixture of amino acids with 22.18% casein but without other S amino acids was prepared and at the level which provided 2.5% N in the diet was found to give growth of weanling mice not significantly less than the same level of N provided by casein and 0.3% cystine. The basal amino acid diet was given to mice from weaning for 2 weeks, at N levels 2.5 and 1.5%, alone or with from 0.05 to 0.50% methionine added. Growth was best with 0.30 and 0.15 % added methionine, respectively. Requirements for sulphur amino acids in terms of the total content of the diet are calculated [but are not quoted here as the values used in the calculation could not be reconciled with those for composition of the basal diet as given on p. 455 and in Table 1]. When a diet with 2.5% N contained 0.3% cystine there was no growth response as methionine was increased above 0.1%. M. M. Barnes.

Twelve Puerto Rican men with tropical sprue were observed for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after treatment, first with tetracycline, 1 g daily for 7 days, and then with the same amount of chloramphenicol. They had a sprue diet supplying 2500 kcal and from 75 to 100 µg free and from 1200 to 1500 µg bound folic acid daily, estimated with Streptococcus faecalis. Haematological and biochemical values before and after treatment are tabulated individually. Four showed haematological remission and marked clinical improvement; the others improved somewhat, but required folic acid for haematological remission. Xylose excretion improved in 7 and faecal fat decreased in 6. Absorption of vitamin A improved in 4. Vitamin B12 in serum was low in all, and 6 tested with labelled vitamin showed no improvement of absorption. It was concluded that the action of antibiotics in tropical sprue was not due merely to removal of competing bacteria.-W. M. Deans.

N2 - The product was a homogeneous mixture of Chlorella and Scenedesmus, dried in a vacuum to yield an amorphous green powder with protein 59, fat 19, carbohydrate 13, moisture 3 and ash 6% by weight. It was added to the daily diet of 5 healthy young men in amounts ranging from 10 to 500 g, and given alone, mixed in milk or included in baked preparations such as gingerbread, chocolate biscuits or chocolate cake. Amounts up to 100 g per day were tolerated by all subjects though at first the taste and odour were considered moderately unpleasant; the colour did not detract from its acceptability. When larger amounts were given nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, flatulence and abdominal pains occurred and stools were bulky and hard. Though it could be tolerated in that form it is concluded that further processing would be required before the product could become a main food for man.-G. F. Garton.

N2 - Male chickens received for 3 weeks diets containing sesame meal, maize oil, starch, sucrose, lysine, vitamins and minerals, with protein 10, 15, 20 or 25%. Protein requirement for maximum growth was 20.5%. As the result of an increase in the albumin fraction, total serum protein increased from 2.33 g per 100 ml when the diet contained 10% protein to 3.06 when it contained 25%. Since the serum globulin level remained constant, the albumin: globulin ratio rose with increase in protein intake. Serum cholesterol fell from 297 mg per 100 ml when the diet contained 10% protein to 185 when it contained 25%. Variations in plasma volume were negligible, from 6.8 to 7.2% of bodyweight, on the 10, 15 and 25% protein diets.

N2 - In the first study 6 young men lived in a chamber at 15.6°C for 14 days, wearing only shorts and socks, with one blanket at night and permitted only sedentary activities. A milk diet, restricted to 600 kcal per day, contained carbohydrate 41, protein 17 and fat 42% and had a value of 1.2 kcal per g. In the second study all conditions were identical, except that no calories were provided. Water and hot coffee without cream or sugar were allowed. Body sp. gr., before and after the experiment, fat, N balance and fat-free tissue lost were studied. The mean weight losses were 5.66 and 8.56 kg for the first and second groups, respectively, or 317 and 525 g per day. Absolute losses of fat, protein and water were smaller in the group given milk, but the contribution to the total weight loss of each of these components was remarkably similar for both studies: 39 and 39% for fat, 10 and 11% for protein and 51 and 49% for " water ". Total amounts lost were: protein 0.52 and 0.96 kg; fat 2.15 and 3.31 kg; water 3.00 and 4.29 kg. Caloric density of weight losses was in the first group 3.91 and in the second 4.06 kcal per g. The caloric equivalent of protein lost was 2.136 and 3.944 and of fat 19.995 and 30.783 kcal, respectively. The results of the investigation show that relatively large amounts of water are lost during the first days of caloric restriction, partly by diuresis. In contrast to some similar studies the findings indicated that the composition of weight loss is quite similar over a wide range of rates at which weight is lost.-E. W. H. Cruickshank.

Sodium balances were studied in the 11 patients and 11 controls, on intakes of Na which ranged from 28 to 136 m-equiv. per sq. m. In the first plan, in which subjects were given liquid mixtures containing different amounts of Na within each study period, all 5 patients had, to begin with, markedly negative cumulative balances of Na which, as time went on, became positive in one or two periods; the balances of the controls were more positive than those of the patients. The second plan, in which subject, were given two levels of Na in succession gave similar results. Weight was lost at the beginning by 6 of the 11 patients but all gained weight during the later study periods. In most cases weight was lost between study periods, and bodyweight at the end was still below that before burning. Observed bodyweights were compared with the theoretical weights calculated from the N Na and K balances by the method of Reifenstein et al. (Abst. 81, Vol. 16) and the discrepancies between the 2 curves were taken to indicate a gain or loss of fat. The results from the first plan are interpreted as showing fat storage early in study periods 2 and 4 and fat loss during the last few days; throughout period 3 the results showed a loss of fat and it is suggested that the active replacement of lost tissues required more energy than was furnished by the intake. In the second plan, the order in which higher and lower intakes of N were given appeared to influence the changes in storage of fat; in general, when the intake was at first low in N and high in carbohydrate fat was stored throughout the period; when it was at first high in N fat was lost throughout the period.-N.

Center, Fort Sam Houston, Tex. N1 - Accession Number: 19611406344. Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: not specified. N2 - For related work see preceding Abst. The same two experimental methods were used. Levels of intake of K ranged from 27 to 232 m-equiv. per sq. m of body surface area. The proportion of K to N in the intake was fairly constant at all levels of N after period 1, and ranged from 7.6 to 8.2 m-equiv. K per g N. A supplement of from 75 to 100 m-equiv. K daily was given to all except 2 patients in period 1. Only 4 of the 11 patients had negative cumulative balances during period 1 and all had positive balances during periods 2, 3 and 4. During period 4 the controls with 2 exceptions had greater cumulative positive balances of K than had the partner patients. In general, the intake required for equilibrium became smaller, and the balance on zero intake became less negative in successive periods. In periods 3 and 4 of the first plan, an increase in the intake above 140 m-equiv. K per sq. m caused little change in the balance. The ratio for equilibrium of the requirement of K to that of N suggested that during periods 1, 2 and 3 a ratio of 6: 1 in the intake would result in the most efficient use of K and N at equilibrium. For period 4 and for controls the corresponding ratio was 4: 1.-N. Taggart.

N2 - The 11 patients were men aged 18 to 33 years with at least 15% of the body surface involved in third degree burns; they were studied for four 10-day periods which began at times which were representative of the acute catabolic phase 7 days, the late catabolic 30, the anabolic 60 and the late convalescent phase 90 days after burning. Eleven normal control subjects were studied for 10 days. The 7 liquid mixtures supplied a constant intake of energy 3500 kcal per sq. m body surface area, with N at 7 levels from 1.0 to 28.8 g per sq. m. Two experimental plans were used. In the first, 5 patients and 5 controls were given N at all 7 levels in different order within each 10-day period. In the second plan, a cross-over experimental system was used, with 3 pairs of patients and 3 pairs of controls for whom levels of N were as in the first, omitting the lowest level. One of each pair received a low level of N intake for 5 days followed by a higher intake for 5 days, while the other member had the same intakes in the reverse order. In the first plan, daily N balances of patients and controls were closely related to the daily changes in the intake. There were isolated days of positive balance on the days of high intake in period 1. The cumulative 10-day balances of N were negative for all patients in period 1, positive in all but one patient in period 2 and increasingly positive in periods 3 and 4. In period 4 balances were similar to those of the control subjects. Regression lines showed that, for equilibrium, the N requirement decreased from period 1 to period 4 and that the value in period 4 was similar to that for controls. The theoretical N balance on a zero intake became less negative from period 1 to period 4. The change in balance with each gram of change in intake showed no significant difference between periods. The second plan gave similar results. The mean requirements for equilibrium found by the first plan were, in periods 1, 2, 3 and 4 and in controls, 20.7, 13.1, 9.3, 7.0 and 6.8 g N per sq. m. Corresponding results by the second plan were 25.5, 16.4, 3.3, 3.3 and 4.6 g.-N. Taggart.

N2 - The diets were of dextri-maltose, milk solids and cottonseed and maize oils to give the proportions of carbohydrate, fat and protein 5: 4: 1, 2: 7: 1, and 7: 2: 1. Vitamins, Fe and NaCl were given. Enough food was allowed to maintain bodyweight and the order in which the high-fat and high-carbohydrate diets were taken by two groups of young soldiers differed. Both began and ended with the first (normal) diet. Exercise and environment were controlled. Day temperatures were between 65° and 85°F and the subjects slept, clothed and in sleeping bags, at -30°F. Skin and rectal temperatures were recorded at intervals during the night. During the first week on the liquid diet of normal composition both groups lost more than 1 kg weight, most of it on the first day. Weight rose on the high-carbohydrate diet and fell on the high-fat diet, although energy intake was highest on that diet. Diet had no effect on rate of cooling during the night.-I. Leitch.

N2 - The energy, fluid and N balances of 8 young men were studied for periods of 10 days in each of 3 environments: in direct sunlight at ambient temperature 40°C, outside in the shade at 40o and indoors at 26°. The daily activity of the men was constant. Activities included walking on a treadmill and pedalling a bicycle ergometer. Food and water were unrestricted. The mean daily intake of metabolisable energy was 3560 kcal in the hot sunny environment, 3516 in the hot shade and 3156 in cool indoor conditions. When figures were adjusted to compensate for changes in body composition they showed an energy requirement of about 4000 kcal in the two hot environments and 2700 kcal in the cool indoor environment. It is suggested that the causes of the increased energy requirement at high ambient temperatures are an increase in overall metabolic rate, due to elevated body temperature, and the increased work of the sweat glands and the circulatory heat transfer mechanisms.-J.

N2 - The lipid emulsion used, Lipomul, contained cottonseed oil 15, glucose 4, soya bean phosphatide 1.2 and polyethoxypropylene oxide (Pluronic P-68) 0.3%; it was injected as rapidly as possible at 5 ml per kg bodyweight. Blood samples were taken 1/2, 2 and 6 h after injection. In rabbits, fasting for 3 and 10 days resulted in marked increases in serum total fatty acid and total cholesterol values and slight increases in lipid P; triglycerides injected intravenously were removed from the serum at a reduced rate. When feed intake was restricted so that the rabbits were losing weight over a 10-day period, there was no significant change either in the lipid components of serum or in lipid clearance. When additional glucose was injected intravenously with the lipid it appeared to increase the rate of lipid removal but the difference was not significant; when heparin was given intravenously 15 min before the lipid, it overcame the effects of fasting and the total fatty acids were removed from the serum faster than the normal average rate. In rats, fasting for 4 days resulted in decreases in total fatty acid, total cholesterol and lipid P but the rates of lipid clearance remained normal. When intake of food was restricted, the decreases were less and lipid clearance still remained normal. Heparin again caused an increase in the rate of removal of total fatty acids from serum; it appeared to be without effect on the serum total cholesterol and lipid P values.-G. F. Garton.

N2 - Experiments, divided into three periods, were on 6 young men. In the first period all subjects were given a diet that supplied 84 g protein per day. In the second and third periods the subjects were divided into 2 groups of 3. The daily protein intake of one group was progressively increased to 100 and 113 g by adding wheat gluten to the diet, that of the second group was increased to 100 and 128 g with meat. Timed collections of urine were made throughout the study for estimation of N and creatinine. Total N and N: creatinine ratio correlated well with N intake; the best correlation was for N in the 24-h sample. Errors in predicting protein intake from 4-h collections of urine were reduced by using the N: creatinine ratio, in spite of large individual variations in creatinine excretion. The results were not affected by the spacing of meals. It is considered that N: creatinine ratios in urine would give a reasonable estimate of the protein intake for large populations but that influences affecting creatinine excretion require further study.

N2 - Measurements of body K, made by scintillation counting of the natural γ radioactivity of the 40K in the body, are tabulated by sex and age for a total of 1589 men, women and children. Corresponding estimates of body water were obtained from the known weights of the subjects, using graphs of percentage body water against age, constructed from published data. As a result of earlier work (Absts. 3985, 3990, Vol. 30) it can be calculated that under stated conditions of health and abstinence from food for 12 h there is a constant relation, M3 = 0.276 W, independent of age and sex, between body water, W, and the dehydrated, defatted protoplasmic body mass, Ms. From this relation, it was possible to relate the potassium measurements, K, to estimates of M3. The results indicate that the ratio K: Ms falls in adults with increasing age and that it is lower for women than for men. The significance of the findings is discussed. For some of the subjects basal metabolic rate was found to be closely correlated with body K.-I. McDonald.

N2 - Six fasting human subjects were given 1 g D-glucuronolactone or D-glucuronic acid. With the lactone, plasma ascorbate changed after 1 h from 0.39 to 0.84 and after 3 h to 0.62 mg per 100 ml. During 6 h, 8 mg extra ascorbate was excreted per h but only 0.2 mg extra xylulose per h. The acid had no effect on ascorbate in blood or urine, but raised excretion of xylulose by 8.1 mg per h over 6 h. When a male boxer dog was given 1 g of either compound by intravenous injection, the acid as well as the lactone increased ascorbate in blood and urine, but did not increase excretion of xylulose. The results support the view that D-glucuronolactone is converted to the lactone of L-gluconate and this gives rise to L-ascorbate. D-Glucuronate is converted to L-gulonate [gluonate in text], which gives rise to 3-keto-L-gulonate. In the dog that compound can be converted to L-ascorbate, but that pathway is not present in man and L-xylulose is produced by decarboxylation.-J. C. Rigg. See also Abst. 25.

N2 - The food intake by over 200 personnel of army headquarters and 53 military police at Yuma, Arizona, was measured for 3 consecutive periods of 6 or 7 days. Occupations were classified as light activity. The men had been stationed there for some months and were acclimatized to the hot desert environment with low humidity. When on duty the military police spent at least 8 h outdoors in the heat. Over a 14-day period when they were measured separately average intakes by the headquarters personnel and the military police, respectively, were 4061 and 4416 kcal per day with fat providing 40.2 and 41.3% of the energy. The mean weight change of the headquarters group was negligible; on average over the period the police lost 0.25 kg per head. Reasons for the high energy intake in both groups are discussed and it is concluded that there is a definite increase in the energy requirements of men living and working in a hot desert climate. N.

N2 - Ketopentoses were isolated from 24-h urine of normal men and were measured by orcinol reaction. The major spot on paper chromatograms was identified as xylulose; small amounts of ribulose and possibly sedoheptulose were sometimes present. The xylulose was separated by chromatography from 3 pooled urine extracts and was found to be predominantly L-xylulose. The average ketopentose excretion of 15 subjects was 4.3 ± 1.9 and the range was from 1.5 to 8.5 mg per day. A large supplement of carbohydrate added to the diet increased the average ketopentose excretion of 3 subjects to 8.2 mg per day. When the same amount of carbohydrate was substituted isocalorically for fat ketopentose excretion rose to 9.2 mg. Heavy exercise caused a rise, not significant, in ketopentose excretion, but triiodothyronine caused a large increase in the same men. A supplement of skimmed milk increased ketopentose excretion but an isocaloric supplement of gelatine alone or with lactose had no effect.-A. Crossland. See also Absts. 347, 724, 729, 732.

N2 - Eight healthy young adult dogs were studied before, during and after a period when they were overfed to produce weight gains of about 20%. For a total of 67 measurements of oxygen consumption the gross oxygen uptake was correlated with bodyweight (r = + 0.496), but in the range of bodyweights studied only 25% of the total variability of oxygen uptake was associated with weight change. The R.Q. was not related to changes in bodyweight or variations of oxygen uptake. The response to a fixed work load, 50 min of treadmill running, in oxygen uptake, pulse rate and body temperature was not affected by the gain of weight, but R.Q. and water loss during work increased. The extra fluid lost appeared to be largely from increase in salivation during work. D. Duncan.

DL-serine twice daily by mouth, 2 for 7 days, 4 for 10 and 1 for 13 days. Their diets were native ones low in protein and vitamins. Reticulocyte counts were made daily, and formiminoglutamic acid was estimated in 24-hr. urine; 1 patient had 1 g. L-histidine by mouth. Serine caused sub-optimal but distinct reticulocytosis in 4 patients and an equivocal increase in 2. It is thought to have given rise to formation of citrovorum factor from tetrahydrofolic acid. Three patients excreted formiminoglutamic acid in urine in amounts from 10.2 to 26.1 micromolar equivalents in 24 hr. ; for the one given histidine the amount was 485.0 micromolar equivalents. That finding is taken to indicate abnormality of the formiminoglutamic acid transferase mechanism. D. Harvey.

N2 - Ten healthy young men under close supervision had for 4 days a constant diet supplying protein 137, fat 121, carbohydrate 363 g., thiamine 1.55 and riboflavin 1.84 mg. and calculated to supply nicotinic acid 20 mg. ; it contained creatine 0.80 and creatinine 0.37 g. Breakfast included no meat. Total urine collections were made every 6 hr. and creatinine, thiamine, riboflavin and N1-methylnicotinamide were estimated by standard methods. Excretions of thiamine, riboflavin and N1-methylnicotinamide in µg. per 6 hr. are plotted against the corresponding values in µg. per g. creatinine, with regression lines and 5 per cent. confidence limits. From the results it was concluded that the 6-hr. excretion of thiamine or riboflavin can be predicted within ± 30 to 40 per cent. from the excretion per g. creatinine, which is considered satisfactory for surveys of large groups. For N1-methylnicotinamide the limits were wider. It is advisable to use fasting urine, or urine after a meat-free breakfast. The difficulty of the alternative method of making timed collections of urine is illustrated by the creatinine content of supposed 6-hr. collections from 126 men instructed but not supervised, which ranged from 0 to 0.6 g. or even more. For the supervised group the mean 24-hr. creatinine excretion was 2.09 ± 1.7 g.-W. M. Deans.

N2 - Six young men were given a diet containing 138 g. protein, 88 g. fat and 357 g. carbohydrate per day, which provided Na 133, K 85 and chloride 123 m-equiv. In serial 24-hr. urine collections Na, K, chloride, N and creatinine were estimated. Water was allowed freely with the intake measured. In addition, the subjects received NaCl as 0.5-g. tablets in divided quantities with meals so that the amount taken daily was on days 1 to 4, 4 g., days 5 to 8, 8 g., days 9 to 12, 16 g., days 13 to 16, 24 g., day 17, 32 g., days 18 to 22, 24 g. and days 23 to 30, 4 g. Five of the subjects tolerated the large intakes of NaCl with little gastric discomfort; they drank enough water to maintain the Na content in urine at an average of 268 m-equiv. per litre, with a range of averages in individual subjects from 240 to 295. Under these circumstances there was little change in size of the body fluid compartments. It is suggested that there is a maximum physiological concentration of Na in urine, in the range 270 to 290 m-equiv. per litre. G. F. Garton.

N2 - Volatile substances in foodstuffs, separated by low-temperature, high-vacuum distillation and by gas chromatography, were estimated by mass spectrometry. Irradiated ground beef contained acetaldehyde, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl and ethyl alcohols, methyl, ethyl and isobutyl mercaptans, and dimethyl sulfide and disulphide in amounts increasing in proportion to the dose of radiation. Beef not irradiated contained all these except dimethyl disulphide and isobutyl mercaptan.-A. D. Proudman.

Graphs for calculated energy, proximate principles and calories from fat from 1775 to 1957 show peak values for energy and proximate principles between the 2 world wars and low energy from fat about 1952. For the physically active soldier in areas of temperate climate the present basic allowances are 3600 Cal., 100 g. protein, 700 mg. Ca, 5000 I.U. vitamin A, 1.7 mg. vitamin B1, 2.0 mg. riboflavin, 16 mg. nicotinic acid and 75 mg. vitamin C. Additional allowances are made for strenuous duty in a cold climate. A master menu is planned to yield these nutrients after an allowance of 15 per cent. for waste. In 1957 the master menu was calculated to provide, on average, 4195 Cal. with, in g., protein 131, fat 199 and carbohydrate 470, 43 per cent. of energy from fat, and minerals and vitamins well above U.S. National Research Council recommended allowances. Published studies of food eaten in 4 training camps showed that average intakes of energy and proximate principles were close to the amounts calculated to be provided by the master menu. It is further calculated that the average energy intake at the 4 camps was about the upper limit of the requirement for weight maintenance under conditions of sustained activity at a high level.-F.

N2 - Adult unmated cockroaches aged from 1 day to 4 months were exposed to different doses of radiation in an electron accelerator; the mean time for 50 per cent. mortality, T50, was recorded. When males aged 3 to 7 months were exposed to 10, 000 rad and were afterwards given food (Purina dog chow) and water, or water only, or food only, or neither, T50 was 10.1, 7.1, 5.7 and 4.6 days, respectively. Young cockroaches of both sexes, exposed 1 to 8 days after they emerged, were fed or were given water alone in the interval before exposure and after it. Those fed before exposure lived longer than the starved. Males fed after exposure lived longer than the starved, but in females feeding after exposure had little effect and the females lived longer. It was shown with males that the greater the dose of radiation, the less food was eaten afterwards and the greater was the mortality rate.-D. Duncan.

N2 - Six soldiers, age 19 to 22 years, weight 68 to 84 kg. and body surface 1.77 to 2.1 sq. m., slept at ambient temperatures 25.5° to 26°, 15° to 18.5° and -32o to -34o C. for a total of 105 man-nights. Rectal and skin temperatures were recorded and mean weighted skin temperature was calculated at 1/2-hr. intervals every night. Oxygen consumption was measured at 6-min. intervals throughout the night. Rectal and skin temperature declined during sleep. Lower ambient temperature produced lower rectal temperature: at 25.5°, 15o and -32° C. the lowest rectal temperatures were 36°, 35.8° and 35.5° C., respectively. Oxygen consumption during sleep in the cold did not differ significantly from that at 25.5° C., but in the cold periods of wakefulness increased and in them oxygen consumption was higher. Body heat content at 25.5° C. dropped gradually during the early part of the night and increased slightly during the last few hours. During exposure to cold the drop in body heat was most rapid in the first few hours and changes became less in the last 2 hours. The total heat debt at -32° C. was 31/2 times the heat debt at 25.5° C. Body heat debt at the end of the period of sleep was 42, 88 and 145 Cal. at ambient temperature 25.5°, 27.9° and -32o C., respectively; body heat content at these temperatures was 28.7, 27.9 and 27.2 Cal. per kg. bodyweight.

N2 - Rectal, skin and fur temperatures were measured continuously in 6 dogs while they ran at 3.63 m.p.h. on a treadmill at different inclinations to the horizontal. Heat loss during work was calculated in two ways with good agreement: from the metabolic cost less the physical work done and the additional heat storage due to rise in body temperature, and from the directly estimated losses in respiration, radiation and convection. Rectal temperature rose steadily as intensity of work increased, but skin and fur temperatures did not change substantially until the slope was increased above 12°, indicating that at work of low intensities the loss of heat due to the work is principally achieved through respiration. The results of tests in which the dogs ran until they were exhausted suggested that endurance capacity was related to the ability to lose heat and thus to delay rise of body temperature; it did not appear to be related to heat storage.-I.

N2 - Measurements of energy cost were made by indirect calorimetry on 6 dogs running at 3.63 m.p.h. on a treadmill, at inclinations to the horizontal ranging from 0° to 22°. The relations between energy cost per kg. per min. (y) and pulse rate in beats per min. (z), and grade in degrees (x), were described by the regression equations y = 0.022x + 0.14 and z = 3.68x + 198.9. The efficiency, defined as work done in lifting bodyweight as percentage of the additional energy expenditure in running up a slope over running horizontally, was on average 13, 22, 19, 19, 19 and 16 per cent. at 4o, 8°, 12°, 16o, 19° and 22°. Additional experiments in which dogs ran at 4.24 m.p.h. up a 20° incline for 20 min. showed that the major part of recovery oxygen uptake was completed during 24 min. after work. It is suggested that the gross oxygen debt may depend on body temperature, possibly through the part played by panting in temperature regulation. Maximum oxygen uptake increased with age but was not related to endurance as measured by maximum running time.-I. McDonald.

Language: not specified. N2 - Seventeen negro soldiers were matched for height, weight and age with 17 white soldiers and plasma volume, blood volume, surface area and Hb were studied. Daily activity and diet were the same for all for 2 weeks before the experiment. Negro soldiers had significantly lower plasma volume, 2.72 against 3.06 litres, blood volume, 5.05 against 5.71 litres, red cell volume, 2.33 against 2.65 litres, and Hb, 14.4 against 15.1 g. per 100 ml. The difference in packed cell volume, 46.2 against 46.5 per cent., was not significant. The values are regarded as of particular interest since the two groups were closely matched for body size; the differences were significant whether volumes were expressed in litres, as above, or in terms of bodyweight, fat-free mass or surface area. A comparison was made of plasma and blood volumes of different racial groups; average results in litres per sq. m. surface were: East Indians 1.55 and 2.75; Chinese 1.66 and 2.9; U.S. Caucasians 1.69 and 3.15; Eskimos 2.42 and 4.37; U.S. negroes 1.52 and 2.82. The plasma and blood volumes of the Eskimos are significantly different from the others. It is concluded that no adequate explanation of the role of differences in basal blood volume in affording protection against cold injury or in the improvement of performance in heat can yet be given.-E.

N2 - Nine male conscientious objectors, aged between 20 and 28 years and weighing between 65 and 83 kg., ate a diet (A) of local fresh foods of the same proximate composition as the army C ration which had been stored for 20 months at 34° F. (C-I) or 100o F. (C-2) and replaced the A diet in a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Tryptophan load tests were made at the beginning and after 18 and 24 days on each diet. Vitamin B6, measured with Saccharomyces carlsbergensis 4228, was provided at the rate of 4.28 mg. daily by diet A, 2.76 mg. by ration C-1 and 1.93 mg. by ration C-2. Xanthurenic acid excreted in urine, without extra tryptophan, was between 6 and 8 mg. per day. In the 24 hr. after taking 10 g. DL-tryptophan the extra xanthurenic acid in urine, called net excretion, averaged after 18 and 24 days on diet A 5.8 and 11.3; on C-1 ration 11.1 and 11.6, and on C-2 ration 25.1 and 31.9 mg. Of the 9 subjects 7 excreted more xanthurenic acid on C-2 ration. If such an increase is accepted as evidence of deficiency of vitamin B6, then 1.93 mg. daily is below the requirement of adult men. The 1958 estimate of the United States National Research Council (Abst. 2869, Vol. 29) is between 1 and 2 mg. daily. I. Leitch.

N2 - Study of mitotic processes in the intestinal mucosa of rats exposed to X-rays showed that cysteine reduced the inhibition caused by 100 and 300 r. The time required for recovery varied with the dose of radiation, but the rate of recovery of mitotic activity of the rats treated with cysteine was about the same as for untreated rats. In sections of jejunum, 7 µ. thick, the crypts of Lieberkiihn were examined; the mitotic figures in 50 crypts were counted. The minimum mitotic activity was found 1 hr. after exposure; normal mitotic activity was reached between 6 and 8 hr., followed by a slight increase. Cysteine might reduce the degree of inhibition at all times except 8 hr. after exposure. Statistically significant differences between the mitotic activity of treated and untreated animals were found 1, 31/2 and 61/2 hr. after exposure. With larger doses, 1000 and 3000 r, loss of crypt structure was found; in 48 to 72 hr. there was total disappearance of crypts in untreated animals, but in treated animals recovery followed mitotic depression. Survival studies at 1000 r showed that 90 per cent. of the rats died within 4 days and all by the 8th day. With 3000 r, treated and untreated rats showed total absence of crypts within 24 hr. and mitotic activity was seriously depressed 1 hr. after exposure. E. W. H. Cruickshank.

N2 - Commercial D-xylose, 25 g., was given by mouth in 250 ml. water or by intravenous injection during 1 hr. in 2.5 per cent. concentration i physiological salt solution to normal subjects, to patients with sprue either treated or untreated and to others with different disorders. Excretion in urine was measured for 5 hr. The normal subjects were young Puerto Ricans aged from 18 to 26 or laboratory workers aged from 20 to 50 years. The mean results with, in parenthesis, the numbers of subjects were: normal (114), 5.7 ± 1.4; treated patients (28), 3.5 ± 1.3; untreated patients (49), 1.4 ± 0.7 g. xylose excreted. In 10 normal subjects studied for 24 hr. mean amount in urine in 5 hr. was 6.7 g. and in the next 19 hr. 1.5 g. When the xylose was given by vein findings were different; mean amounts in 5 hr. were: normal subjects (10), 10.6 ± 2.0; treated patients (7), 9.7 ± 1.4; untreated patients (15), 8.3 ± 2.3 g. Corresponding values for amounts in 24 hr. were: (6), 11.0 ± 16; (2), 10.8; (13), 11.3 ± 1.5 g. Values for normal subjects and untreated patients in 5 hr. differed significantly only at the 5 per cent. level; values in 24 hr. were not significantly different. In tests with dogs given xylose, 0.5 g. per kg. bodyweight, measurements of xylose in plasma showed that when given by mouth the sugar was readily absorbed. With rats given the same amount intragastrically estimations from 1 to 10 hr. later showed that 90 per cent. or more of the sugar had disappeared from stomach and intestine. The test is concluded to be valuable in diagnosis of malabsorption syndromes in man, with excretion of 3.0 g. or less in urine in 5 hr. as presumptive evidence of their presence.-D. Harvey.

N2 - The urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids and the levels of metabolically active unconjugated 17-hydrocorticosteroids in the plasma were studied in 12 young men, mean age 22 years, during a control period of 21 days, an experimental period of 16 days and a rehabilitation period of 15 days. Exercise was taken daily on a treadmill for 2 onehour periods, walking at 3.5 miles per hr. During the control period the average energy expenditure was 3000 Cal. per day; during the experimental period food intake amounted to 1000 Cal. per day given entirely as carbohydrate. Six of the men were allowed 900 ml. water for the first 51/2 days of the experimental period, the remainder 1800 ml. water for 101/2 days. Results showed that both types of steroid metabolites decreased over the first 6 days; in the men given 1800 ml. water per day, the plasma hydrocorticosteroids dropped a little more rapidly than the urinary ketosteroids. The excretion of steroids was significantly higher in the group given only 900 ml. water per day. On the 6th day plasma hydrocorticosteroids had risen from 15.8 to 23.1 µg. per 100 ml., compared with a rise from 14-9 to 15.4 µg. per 100 ml. by the 11th day in the men given more water. It is concluded that acute undernutrition and protein deprivation alter the catabolism of adrenal steroids, but that the level of circulating effective corticoids is maintained for a short but indefinite period.-E.

Forty young rats initially about 5 weeks old were given a stock diet and were killed in groups of 10 weekly for 4 weeks; 40 similar rats received a solution of crystalline vitamin A in maize oil by mouth, from 100 to 300 I.U. per g. bodyweight daily, and were killed at the same intervals; 15 rats were killed after subcutaneous injection of 250 U.S. P. units of parathyroid extract daily for 3 days. Excess vitamin A caused greatly accelerated turnover of cartilage cells and replacement of cartilage by bone, leading to early closure of epiphyses. The mandible showed rarefaction and reduced deposition of bone. Endochondral ossification was reduced, and around the multiple spontaneous fractures, which appeared to be due to loss of previously formed cortical bone before new bone had acquired sufficient firmness to meet mechanical strain, there was a variable degree of osteoclasis. In the rats given excess vitamin A the parathyroids were relatively increased in size and showed histological changes suggestive of hyperplasia. The rats injected with parathyroid hormone showed fibro-osteoclasia with bone changes similar to those in the rats given excess vitamin A. Tibiae from newborn rats were grown in culture without or with addition of excess vitamin A or of parathyroid hormone. With vitamin A growth declined after about 3 days and there was excessive resorption of bone, leading to constriction and to spontaneous fractures. The terminal cartilage was resorbed, atrophied and almost disappeared. With parathyroid hormone growth of bone did not entirely cease and the cartilage was not affected. D. Duncan.

N2 - In 3 experiments 15 rats on a standard laboratory diet were given from 100 to 300 I.U. vitamin A alcohol in maize oil before, after, or during pregnancy. The offspring of these and of 5 other pregnant rats used as controls were studied for 4 months, records being kept of mortality and of the progress of the survivors. In the first experiment, when the rats were given the vitamin A before pregnancy, the offspring were healthy and the vitamin appeared to have no effect. In the second experiment, when the vitamin was given after parturition and during lactation, no significant difference was found in the litters studied. Rats of the third experiment, which received excess vitamin A during the entire period of pregnancy, had premature and smaller litters. Mortality rate was 60 per cent. Survivors later showed retarded growth and were much underweight. Weaning was late because of loss of appetite; there were dry skin, fragility or roughening of the hair or both, and diminished subcutaneous adipose tissue. Survivors were kept in a separate cage after weaning and given the same laboratory diet unsupplemented. At 4 months of age they were about one-half the size of the controls. Histopathologic changes included a moderate lacunar fibro-osteoclasia of the entire bony system, mild parathyroid hyperplasia, and deposits of calcium, particularly in the kidneys. I. M. Sharman.

N2 - Observations were made on 4 adult female Nubian goats kept under identical conditions in one of two temperature-controlled chambers. Hay and water were offered to appetite in addition to concentrates. Feed consumption which, it was claimed, was proportional to the time spent eating, was greatest in the air temperature range 0° to 10° C. and fell with rising temperature. Water consumption was greatest at an air temperature of 35°, least at 0° and fell from 35° to 40° C. The rate of jaw movements during rumination was greatest in the air temperature range 5° to 10° C. with a rate of over 110 chews per min. and decreased both above and below this range. In 3 of 10 goats the chewing rates were constant for each temperature. Aggressiveness and general activity were greater at lower temperatures, but the order of dominance within the group was not affected by temperature. Rectal temperature was constant with an air temperature range of from 5° to 20° C. ; above this it rose sharply, and below it there was a fall in 3 of the goats. Pulse rate was slower with higher temperatures. Respiratory rate was constant up to 20° C. air temperature; above this it fell sharply. The concentration of chloride in plasma was highest at air temperatures of from 20° to 35° C. and was lower both above and below this range. Plasma protein rose with air temperature, but fell when the temperature was above 35° C. Blood cell volume appeared to decrease in warm environments. J. G. Gordon.

N2 - Three groups each of 5 men were dehydrated overnight in the heat at 115° F. dry bulb, 80° F. wet bulb on 2 occasions until they had lost 5 per cent. of their initial bodyweight. During the 3 weeks between the 2 occasions, one group were acclimatized to heat by daily bouts of work in heat and physically conditioned by cross-country running; a second group were physically conditioned, and a third group remained sedentary and engaged in sedentary recreation only. When dehydrated, the men were asked to perform 2 bouts of work, a walk followed by a run, and physiological measurements were made during work and recovery. Pulse rates during and after walking and after running were above normal in dehydrated men, less in the trained groups, but not in the sedentary groups. Rectal temperature rose with walking and was not significantly different after training in any group. Physical conditioning increased maximum oxygen intake, but the increase was no greater in the first than in the second group. Dehydration was associated with an equal decrement of maximum oxygen intake at both tests in all groups, but the physically conditioned men maintained a relatively higher maximum oxygen intake than the sedentary group.-G.

Suitable clothing was worn by each group. The daily activities of the groups were as uniform as possible and included a 9- to 10-mile march over level ground. Pulling a sledge 9 to 12 miles across country was substituted in a fourth group of 26 men at -7° F. For moderate work 47 to 49 Cal. per kg. bodyweight was required at all temperatures; for heavy work at -7° F., 60 to 62 Cal. per kg. In terms of bodyweight plus weight of clothing, energy expenditure in walking over level ground at 3.41 m.p.h. was 5.26, 5.12 and 4.82 Cal. per kg. per hr. at 91°, 72° and -23° F. Sedentary expenditure plus resting metabolic rate was 4.40, 4.62 and 4.58 Cal. per kg.0.7 per hr. Intake of fluid was not affected by the temperature, except above 60° F., or by the amount of work done in the cold. The daily output of urine was less at 91° F. The difference between the intake plus metabolic water and the output in urine, faeces, and insensible losses was assumed to be sweat. It amounted to 0.8 litre per day in the cold and 6.2 litres at 91° F. It was concluded that there is no basis for assuming that energy requirements are increased in the colder climates unless considerable time is spent outdoors doing work.-A. B, Cairnie.

N2 - Glycine, serine and total amino acid N were estimated in plasma of 9 normal subjects, 8 patients with sprue in relapse and 9 patients with sprue in remission, immediately before and 1, 11/2, 2, 3 and 4 hr. after administration by mouth of 25 g. glycine. Results are given graphically. The curves show a slow rate of intestinal absorption and a delayed peak value in untreated patients compared with normal subjects; the curves for treated subjects lie between these. Examination of the curves of increments indicated that glycine accounted for from 50 to 60 per cent. of the increase in amino acid N at the peak of each curve, with serine accounting for an additional 3 or 4 per cent. ; the remainder presumably was due to other amino acids derived from glycine. The patterns suggested a relation between increases of glycine N and total amino acid N and confirmed the validity of using total amino acid N as an index of glycine absorption. There appeared to be no constant ratio between the concentrations of glyicne and serine. There was no evidence that conversion of glycine to serine was impaired in the patients with sprue in relapse; after ingestion of glycine they showed significantly higher concentrations of serine in plasma than did normal subjects, which suggests an impairment of serine utilisation.-G.

The method was applied to plasma of 120 hospital patients and normal subjects who received a total of 225 infusions of Lipomul, as described in the preceding Abst. Clearing patterns varied greatly between individuals and between successive infusions in the same individual; possible reasons are discussed. Body temperature rose significantly in 29 per cent. of the subjects, and there was a highly significant correlation between the rapidity of clearing and the febrile response.

N2 - In 362 tests on 151 human subjects Lipomul was infused intravenously and results were compared with those obtained by Moeller et al. (U.S. Army Med. Nutrit. Lab. Rep., No. 163, 1955). Lipomul contains 15 per cent. cottonseed oil, 4 per cent. glucose, 1.2 per cent. soya bean phosphatide and 0.3 per cent. Pluronic F 68; the " old " emulsion was of similar composition but differed in the purification of the soya bean phosphatide emulsifier. Half the subjects had some reaction with the old emulsion, one-third with the new one; fever accounted for 88 per cent. of the reactions with the new and 33 per cent. with the old emulsion. With the old emulsion 23 of 293 infusions, but with the new only 3 of 362, could not be completed. No severe reaction occurred with the new emulsion. The results with the new emulsion are considered to be the best so far reported with any fat emulsion in a large series of patients, and to indicate that the improved emulsion is practical and usable. Its instability to extreme environmental conditions and to solutions of electrolytes and amino acids calls for attempts to improve it. G. F. Garton.

N2 - Nine healthy men, aged 19 to 22 years, were given a small breakfast, 580 Cal., at 7.30. At 11.30 they were given by stomach tube or by intravenous injection 200 ml. of 0.9 per cent. NaCl, or 25 per cent. glucose, each of these tests given twice to each subject, in random order; each had, once only, by stomach tube, saline with 10 mg. DL-amphetamine. Half an hour later a generous meal, 1500 Cal. or more, was offered to appetite. Blood was capillary and venous taken immediately before a test substance was given, immediately before the test meal, and after it. Intravenous glucose raised both arterial (capillary) and venous blood glucose more than glucose by stomach tube, but the arterial: venous difference was less. There was no significant effect of any of the substances given on amount of the test meal eaten. The same procedure was repeated once only with these 9 and 3 additional subjects without blood analysis; they were questioned hourly after breakfast and at 20-min. intervals after administration of the test solutions about " appetite ". The replies were given a numerical grading. Neither saline nor glucose had any effect on appetite and that of amphetamine was so small as to be doubtful. These tests, therefore, give no support to the glucostatic theory of regulation of appetite. I. Leitch.

In 16 patients with sprue treated with folic acid or vitamin B12the macrocytic anaemia disappeared after one month or longer; abnormal squamous cells disappeared after 3 months of treatment in all except 3 patients, but abnormal columnar cells persisted.--F.

N2 - Ten fasting normal men were given 2 separate intravenous infusions of 500 ml. of a fat emulsion 1 week apart; one infusion was given with and one without protamine sulfate. The fat emulsion contained refined cottonseed oil 15, glucose 4, soya bean phospholipins 1.2 and Pluronic F-68 0.3 per cent. Venous blood samples were taken at intervals up to 300 min. after the infusions and examined for optical density and free and total fatty acid content of the serum. It was concluded that the simultaneous infusion of protamine with fat emulsion delayed the rate of removal of lipids from the blood. In further experiments in which alimentary lipaemia was induced by giving the fat emulsion by stomach tube the intravenous infusion of protamine brought about a moderate rise of blood lipids above values in the absence of protamine. Similar studies with rats showed that protamine given by vein increased alimentary lipaemia. When protamine was injected immediately before injection of the fat emulsion the removal of lipids from the blood was delayed; but when the injection of protamine preceded that of the fat emulsion by 15 min. the delay was considerable.

N2 - Total food intake by weighing, bodyweight, body fat, calculated from skinfold measurements, and total urine nitrogen were estimated for 87 soldiers. Experiments on different levels of energy intake and at different levels of activity were mostly made in one-week periods. There was a positive correlation between energy intake and bodyweight (r =about 0.3). When body fat was taken into account the correlation was better; for a given bodyweight energy intake decreases with increasing body fatness. The loss of bodyweight during a period of food restriction was correlated with initial bodyweight but not with fatness. Nitrogen excretion during food restriction was positively related to bodyweight. It was negatively correlated with body fat early in the experiment, but the relation disappeared later. A .35 formula for energy requirement based on bodyweight was derived from the data, but it appeared to have no better predictive value than that derived theoretically by the FAO Committee. " Perhaps the point of greatest interest is that the correlation between calorie intake and bodyweight although statistically significant, is of low order, and that accurate prediction of calorie requirement requires the consideration of parameters in addition to bodyweight."

N2 - The subjects for oral glucose tolerance tests were 4 casualties with minor soft tissue wounds, 10 with major injuries and 6 healthy soldiers, all between 18 and 30 years old. The casualties were studied in the week after they were injured. The numbers in the same 3 categories given insulin tolerance tests were 4, 6 and 3. Mean values for the 3 groups still in the same order were: fasting blood sugar 95, 119, and 85 mg. per 100 ml., peak blood sugar 165, 202 and 134 mg. per 100 ml., reached 45, 60 and 30 min. after intake of glucose and declining after 240 min. to 109, 130 and 84 mg. After injection of 0.1 unit crystalline insulin per kg. bodyweight the fasting blood sugar of 94, 113 and 83 mg. per 100 ml. fell to 56, 78 and 40 mg. after 30 min. Only in the severely injured group was the fasting level not regained within 120 min. The most pronounced impairment of glucose tolerance was in a burned patient on the day of injury, but by the fourth day after injury nearly normal tolerance had been regained. The mechanism of the effect is not known. D. Duncan.

Both groups received the usual high-protein, high-carbohydrate, moderate-fat diet, and one group received an intramuscular injection of 30 µg. vitamin B12 every other day, and 15 mg. folic acid daily by mouth, for the first 10 days in hospital. The addition of vitamin B12 and folic acid caused more rapid recovery of appetite, and return of normal values for serum bilirubin and bromosulphalein retention. The mean duration of illness was 47.5 days for the group given vitamin B12 and folic acid, and 57.2 days for the others. The effect of the vitamins was most marked in patients with high total serum bilirubin before treatment began. The theoretical reasons for the value of vitamin B12 and folic acid in repairing liver damage are discussed.-A. M. Copping. See also Abst. 4224.

In patients in both of those phases the gain of bodyweight was more than twice that in patients without liver fat. Liver function as measured by the bromosulphalein test was not impaired.

XIII pyrogen test with rabbits, but their effect was estimated from the highest rise above the control temperature in the 3 hr. after administration. Reduction of the free fatty acid content of emulsions by treating the maize oil with alumina, ageing them or adding heparin did not affect the response. Autoclaving the emulsion resulted in a higher mean response, though the difference was not statistically significant. Peroxide after autoclaving was almost absent and is thus eliminated as a cause of the fever reaction. With emulsions containing large particles as a result of prolonged shaking there was some fat trapping and several rabbits died with signs of pulmonary embolism, but particle size could not be clearly correlated with fever response.

N2 - For earlier work see Abst. 63, Vol. 20. After a 12-hr. fast, healthy adult males who had been on normal diets received injections of 100 to 200 µC. 32P as Na2H32PO4into a vein; blood and urine samples were collected at intervals. Some subjects received in addition injections of 25 g. glucose or 0.1 unit insulin per kg. bodyweight 1 hr. after the phosphate injection. Most of the labelled P left the blood within a few minutes after injection, indicating a very rapid transcapillary movement of phosphate. After this initial rapid decrease the rate of disappearance fell. The amount in the red cells increased rapidly in the first 10 or 20 min. and then remained almost constant. Both glucose and insulin accelerated the movement of 32P out of the plasma. For 6 subjects the excretion of 32P in urine during 1 to 7 hr. after injection averaged 0.8 per cent. of the injected 32per min. It is calculated that the rapidly exchangeable body " phosphorus pool " was about 1.2 g. and that this was turned over about 10 times daily under the conditions of this study. Four hr. after the injection about 95 per cent. of the 32P in the plasma was present in inorganic form, the remainder being almost entirely in the acid-insoluble organic form. At peak uptake about 85 per cent. of the 32P in the red cells was in inorganic form, but there was a gradual shift from inorganic to organic, so that at 120 hr. after injection about 30 per cent. was in organic form.

Registry Number: 57-88-5, 68-26-8. N2 - A high-calorie high-fat liquid diet was given as sole food to 6 patients with fracture of the mandible. The diet consisted of a 40 per cent. emulsion of groundnut oil with which were blended a protein concentrate and the requisite amounts of minerals and vitamins. A litre of the emulsified diet, providing a daily intake of 4370 Cal., was consumed by each of 5 patients. Metabolic studies on 4 subjects showed that with an intake of 400 g. fat, 70 g. protein and 122 g. carbohydrate there was an increase of weight and a positive N balance. The maximum increase in mean daily faecal excretion of fat over the control level was 7.68 g. In all 6 patients the weekly fasting blood studies revealed no increase in total fat, neutral fat, phospholipin or cholesterol. There was no consistent change in serum total protein, albumin: globulin ratio, N.P.N., fasting blood sugar, CO2content, Na, K or chloride.-M. B. Richards.

N2 - Young adult male guineapigs received linear laparotomy wounds which healed under normal conditions during 6 weeks while the animals received a diet adequate in vitamin C [ascorbic acid]. They were then divided into 3 groups of which one received a diet free of vitamin C [ascorbic acid], the second was pair-fed with the first but received 2.5 mg. ascorbic acid daily, and the third was allowed the diet to appetite with 2.5 mg. ascorbic acid. When the animals in the first group had developed clinical signs of severe scurvy all were killed and the wound scars were exciSed and examined histologically. he scars of those receiving ascorbic acid presented normal healing but in the scorbutic group there were severe ch=anges in the scar tissue, consisting in fibroblastic proliferation, regression of connective' tissue elements and haemorrhages. An adequate intake of ascorbic acid is 'therefore requited for normal healing not only in the early period after wounding but also for the maintenance of the scar tissue over many weeks.-W. Godden.

N2 - Observations were made on 3 groups each of 100 patients with virus hepatitis, all service men. All received a diet of 150 g. protein, 350 g. carbohydrate and 100 g. fat with the addition of 32 oz. of a high-protein milk daily; the diet yielded 4000 Cal. If all the food was not eaten the energy was made up by addition of glucose. All the patients were in bed. Group 1 received daily in divided doses 15 g. brewer's yeast and 6 Multivite tablets and a few patients received also injections of a refined liver extract. Group 1 patients could not be supervised as strictly as those in the other groups, and some certainly did not keep strictly to bed rest. Group 2 received the basal diet only. Group 3 received no vitamins except 30 µg. vitamin B12 daily by mouth for the first 5 days in hospital; in 10 of them the dose was given once by intramuscular injection.. Each group had the same number of men with serum bilirubin values of the same order, and the mean duration of illness before admission was approximately the same; on clinical evidence all patients were assumed to be suffering from virus hepatitis of the 1H type. The men in group 3 were selected on account of the severity of their illness as shown by the higher incidence of anorexia and enlarged liver than in groups 1 and 2. Improvement judged clinically and on the results of biochemical tests was most rapid in group 3 which received vitamin BI2 and least rapid in group 1 which received additional vitamins, although the cases in group 3 were the most severe.-L.

N2 - Studies were made on a group of albino rats rendered anaemic by a diet of pasteurized Bow's milk and distilled water and on 2 control groups, one of animals fed on the milk diet supplemented with Fe citrate and the other of animals fed on a commercial chow ration; neither control series showed any sign. of anaemia. The healing of standardised open skin wounds and of laparotomy incisions was studied in all 3 groups, both by photographic recording of the degree of closure and by histological studies of the skin wounds and by measurements of the tensile strength and again by histological studies of the laparotomy incisions. The rats on the unsupplemented milk diet had been severely anaemic for 2 to 9 weeks before wounding and were kept on the same diet during healing.The rats given milk and Fe supplement had normal Hb and serum protein values, but grew more slowly than rats given chow. In young rats wound healing was slower in those fed on a milk diet, whether the diet was supplemented or not, than in the chow-fed rats but in older rats there was no significant difference between the rates of healing of animals in the 3 groups, though the rats given milk and no Fe supplement had been anaemic for many weeks. Similarly, there was no dif ference between the mean tensile strengths of the laparotomy incisions of the animals in the 3 groups if younger chow-fed animals of the same weight as the rats in the other 2 groups were used for com parison. If, however, chow-fed animals of the same age as those in the other groups were used for comparison, the tensile strength of the incisions was found to be significantly greater than that of the rats in the other 2 groups; this difference was thought to be related to the fact that these chow-fed rats were nearly twice the weight of rats of the same age fed on milk. The histological studies showed no difference between the materials from the 3 groups.-L. Wills.

Three groups received 0, 0.5, or 25 mg. ascorbic acid daily, and 3 groups receiving 2.5 mg. daily were pair-fed with them. Another 12 given 2.5 mg. were fed to appetite. Animals were killed 7, 14 and 21 days from the start. The animals with no supplement showed great reduction in the ascorbic acid and cholesterol content of the adrenal glands, and after from 14 to 21 days there was a decrease also in the glycogen concentration in the liver. Animals receiving 0.5 mg. ascorbic acid daily also showed a drop in the ascorbic acid content of the adrenals but the changes in adrenal cholesterol and liver glycogen were only slight. The serum level of Na was not affected in either of these groups. With the higher intakes of ascorbic acid, the values for adrenal ascorbic acid and cholesterol and for liver glycogen were normal. Histochemical studies showed a loss of active cortical steroids, evidenced by diminution of sudanophilia and marked reduction of birefringency and of Schultz's reacting lipids, in the wholly deprived animals, and by similar but less marked changes in those receiving 0.5 mg. ascorbic acid.-W.

N2 - The syndrome appeared in more than 75 per cent. of 8000 American prisoners of war after 6 months on a diet consisting mainly of poor-grade rice with a minimum amount of animal protein and fat. Scrotal dermatitis appeared first, followed a few days later by glossitis and angular stomatitis. The lesions might be severe. Conjunctivitis varying from mild to severe occurred in 93 per cent. of the men. Signs of other deficiency states, such as the burning-feet syndrome, might be present. In 2 men the typical pigmented dermatitis of pellagra appeared. During 2 months when the diet was adequate owing to the arrival of food parcels from America, the syndrome disappeared rapidly; some months later it re-appeared but affected fewer than in the first outbreak, possibly because the requirements for calories and vitamins had been reduced through the marked loss of weight which had occurred. The syndrome did not develop in camps where the diet, though very scanty, consisted largely of maize and soya beans; it was thought to be closely allied to but distinct from pellagra. L. Wills.

N2 - During U.S. army nutrition surveys and ration trials under a variety of conditions between 1944 and 1950, specimens of urine were tested for the presence of ketone bodies. The results are reported as percentages of the tested samples that were positive at any given time. Ketonuria tended to be more common in cold climates than in temperate or tropical ones. During ration trials, the daily incidence of ketonuria followed a characteristic curve, being low during the control period, rising to a .maximum a few days after the field period began and falling to control values before its close. This curve was independent of the composition of the rations and of energy expenditure, although the more negative the energy balance, the more rapidly did the maximum occur. It is suggested that the curve is a manifestation of Selye's general adaptation syndrome.-W. M. Deans.

An inverse relation was found between fat and water content, regardless of nutritional state. The lowest fat and highest water content was found after 70 days of dietary restriction, and the highest fat and lowest water content after rehabilitation on high-fat diet. Sp. gr. varied inversely with fat content and directly with water. Correlation coefficients" were highly significant. Sp. gr. is thus as good an index of water content of the whole animal as it is of fat content. D. Dunean.

N2 - Two healthy men in a well-standardised hos pital environment were given daily a diet pro viding 2500 Cal. and approximately 50 g. protein. During each of 5 experimental periods about 40 per cent. of the protein was as follows: lactal bumin, 9 days; unheated commercial egg white powder, .9 days;, heated commercial egg white powder, 9 days; as in last with a small quantity of ovomucoid, the egg white antitryptic substance, 9 days; and lactalbumin, 6 days. There were only slight differences in the amounts of N absorbed. More N was lost with unheated than with heated commercial egg white powder with or without the addition of ovomucoid; but not so much as with a corresponding amount of lactalbumin. Ovomucoid had little, if any, ad verse effect on the absorption and retention of egg white N.-J. Ridley.

N2 - Fresh separated red cells, re-Suspended in isotonic saline, were injected into. 2 adult male medical students of blood-group O, Rh-, M. Group O, Rh- cells were infused and one transfusion in each series was made with N cells in order to differentiate between lecipient and representative donor cells. Diets were of natural foodstuffs and supplied 0.75 g. protein and 45 Cal. per kg. bodyweight daily. On the days of infusion, the total N intake of each subject was more than doubled. Plasma volumes, liver function and circulating plasma proteins were unchanged throughout. The infused red cells decreased at a normal rate of 0.8 per cent. per day and the subjects' own cells at a rate of 0.4 to 0.8 per cent. per day, in direct proportion to the relative amount of the infusion. Urobilinogen excretion was consistent with normal red cell destruction. Shortly after the infusion in both subjects, an increase of 0.5 to 1.0 g. above the normal control N excretion was observed, the amount excreted being proportional to the amount of red cells infused. The total extra N was equivalent to 80 per cent. of the N of the infused cells, but as red cell destruction was normal the greater part of the extra N excreted was accounted for by N diverted from normal erythropoiesis as a result of apparent depression of bone marrow activity. In the discussion it was agreed that the small amount of N made available daily by depression of erythropoiesis was insignificant compared with the nutritional needs of the patient.-E. D. Baird.

The nutrients in the diet equalled or exceeded in all respects the allowances recommended by the National Research Council for active men. Energy intake was found to vary inversely with the mean outdoor temperature and directly with the mean " windchill ". The relative proportions of protein, fat, and carbohydrate in the diet varied little from those found in similar surveys in temperate climates. Levels of consumption of different foods were similar to those in other U.S. army camps.-J. Stevenson.

N2 - The experiments described were carried out during the second world war at the Luftfahrtmedizinisches Forschungsinstitut in Berlin. A short survey is made of the heterogeneous collection of factors for which claims have been made that they improved capacity for dark adaptation above the normal. A technique was elaborated for examining the effect of some of these factors, and particularly for repeating the work of von Studnitz who claimed that very large doses of vitamin A, alone or in combination with vitamin C [ascorbic acid], raised the capacity for dark vision far above the normal. Dark adaptation was measured with the Engelking Hartung adaptometer after standardised bright adaptation for at least 10 minutes; readings were then taken at intervals up to 40 minutes, after which a reading was made with the Comberg nyktometer. None of the tests was made with less than 8 subjects, most of them with about 14. Readings were taken on 7 successive days and then on one day for the factor tested, one hour after it had been applied. The average curves of dark adaptation thus obtained, when superimposed on one another, showed no significant difference for caffeine, metrazol, muscular exercise, strychnine, supersonic sound waves, ephedrine, saccharin and octinum. In repeating the experiments of von Studnitz and Lange, 10 subjects were given the emulsion of vitamin A as vogan, prepared in von Studnitz's laboratory, and 5 received the oil not emulsified, in a dose of 266, 000 I.U. daily for 16 days, with measurements taken on the 8th, 16th, 17th and 18th days. No significant improvement was obtained, and it is concluded that von Studnitz's test subjects were probably suffering from hemeralopia, whereas the normality of the present ones was evidenced by their high serum values for vitamin A before the test.-E.

N2 - The two main principles of treatment were to check the often serious malnutrition and to eradicate foci of infection. The immediate routine nutritional programme was 500 ml. physiological saline solution, 2500 ml. of 5 per cent. glucose in sterile water and 1000 ml. plasma and whole blood intravenously, with vitamin B complex, and vitamins C and K and 1 ml. of liver extract intramuscularly. At the same time, measures were taken, even to risking an exploratory operation, to locate and drain abscesses; fistulas were repaired surgically if necessary, and open ileostomies were avoided, as throwing a further strain on the patient and hindering the full utilization of food. Results with this treatment were good. A. D. Duff.

N2 - Tests for capacity for dark adaptation were. made on 66 patients in the Mediterranean theatre of war with the Nagel adaptometer after 10 minutes' preliminary bleaching followed by 1, 15, 30 and 45 minutes in the dark. A standard curve of dark adaptation was made with 14 normal subjects. Of the 66 patients, 39 complained of night blindness, and 13 had infectious hepatitis. Apart from these last, night blindness proved in all the rest to be due to psychoneurosis, malingering, congenital hemeralopia or other ocular defects. Of the 13 with hepatitis, one was psychoneurotic; 6 of the remainder whose disease was mild had normal capacity for dark adaptation. In the remaining 6, liver disease had become chronic and they had been receiving hospital diet low in carotene and vitamin A, but with 2 capsules daily each containing 5000 U.S.P.U. vitamin A. All 6 at some time showed a raised visual threshold; 3 were given 40, 000 U.S.P.U. vitamin A orally daily and, within a week, showed improvement. It is considered probable that the lesion consisted in a failure to release vitamin A from the liver reserves rather than in a failure to absorb it. E. M. Hume.

N2 - In prison camps in the Philippines, conditions did not permit of accurate diagnosis; the deficiency syndromes which developed were chiefly those of beriberi and pellagra but it was often doubtful to which syndrome some symptoms belonged. Oedema, burning feet, urinary frequency, acne, xerophthalmia, corneal ulceration, optic neuritis and lowered blood pressure all occurred also. Yeast cultivated with the scanty means available was effective, as far as it went, for treatment. Men doing hard work with a daily intake of 1000 Calories or less had attacks of hypoglyeaemia. After a widespread epidemic of dengue, a symptom complex appeared resembling myasthenia gravin. Some attributed it to a toxin in dried fish. It cleared up slowly with rest, abstention from fish, and therapy with vitamin B1 Scurvy never constituted a, serious problem. Itwas not possible to assess the part which a mild degree of vitamin C [ascorbic acid] deficiency probably played in complicating other conditions. On return to a good diet, restoration of health was remarkable but some of the effects of vitamin B1 deprivation seemed unlikely ever to clear up completely.-E. M. Hume.

N2 - Food and its preparation are important factors in the maintenance of morale. The plan of rationing followed in the U.S. army recognises that the adequacy of the diet is the essential consideration, that such a dietary may be obtained in many ways, that there are differences in the availability of foods in different parts of the country and that, within reasonable limits, dietary habits should be honoured. It follows, therefore, that the ration as actually eaten in the camps in different sections of the country may vary widely. The Type A field ration presupposes that normal food supplies are available. Its basis is a series of menus for a month, with the corresponding quantities of food required to prepare them. These menus must be nutritionally adequate and cost not more than the value of the garrison ration at the time and place of issue. They may be modified by authorized persons in accordance with the supplies available or because of cost changes. When troops move into areas where Type A ration cannot be provided, they receive Type B or non-perishable ration, which is issued until it is countermanded by the commanding general. When local supplies are available, they are used in place of corresponding items in the Type B ration. A number of special rations have been devised for troops operating under unusual conditions such as in mountains and deserts, in the tropics or with a tank corps, all designed to meet emergency needs as to adequacy, palatability and stability. The average consumption of various classes of foods and the detailed contribution towards the average diet prescribed for the soldier are given. A calculation, based on the average weight of food prescribed forthe U.S. army from May to October 1941, makes the average ration one of 4331 Cals., 131 g. protein, 195 g. fat, 513 g. carbohydrate, 1.01 g.

N2 - The problem of osteomalacia in animals is of considerable importance in the Philippine Islands where about 1800 mules and 1200 horses are maintained by the United States Army authorities. The disease occurs in both mules and horses although the former are more resistant. It affects animals of all ages but more especially those between the age of 6 and 13. Sex apparently plays no part in the development of the disease, which appears to be due to a mineral imbalance rather than to any disturbance of internal secretion, parasitic infestation, heredity, infection or vitamin deficiency. In the prodromal stage as well as during active manifestation of the disease there was a reduction of serum calcium and an increase in inorganic phosphorus. Administration of an increased ratio of calcium altered this relationship and produced an improvement. A. F. Watson.

The outbreak at the depot lasted two. months. No evidence of personal contact was obtained and, in no case was the bunk of a fresh case close to that of a previous case. [The type of meningococcus is not given and the bacteriological proof of the identity of the organism is deficient. Serological tests were negative. No quarantine regulations were put in force at the depot during the outbreak.] A. J. Collis.

N2 - The object of this publication is to assist medical officers of the United States Army in the performance of their public health duties. Therefore particular attention is paid to the epidemiology of comn unic-able diseases, especially from the aspect of practical measures of control as is exemplified in the admirable descriptions of the methods of active immunization at present employed. Housing, food control, water purification and disposal of waste products are all treated in the same efficient and thorough manner, and particularly helpful are the instructions for inspecting the sources of milk supplies, and the section on the construction and purification of bathing pools. In general, preventive medicine in similar circumstances is the same all the world over, but in one notable instance the task of the U.S. medical officer is lighter than that of his professional brother elsewhere. That is, in the control of venereal disease. It is recognized that in spite of educational measures and diverting activities in the way of sports, a certain number of men will persist in risking infection, and so, with a pleasing absence of hypocrisy, chemical prophylaxis is openly enforced to protect such men against themselves. The data recorded in the prophylactic post include the soldier's particulars, time of intercourse, hour of treatment, and the signatures of the subject receiving treatment and the attendant who administers it. A copy duly signed is retained by the soldier. Any man failing to report for prophylactic treatment is liable to trial by a summary court with a maximum penalty of one month's hard labour, and forfeiture of his pay for a like period, and if he contracts venereal disease, he may be tried by court-martial and still heavier penalties enforced. In addition, he automatically forfeits his pay during any period of absence from duty due to venereal disease, not as a punishment, but because of his failure to fulfil his contract with the Government. Conservative estimates based on experience show that the method of chemical prophylaxis prescribed by the War Department will prevent the development of disease in more than 90 per cent. of actual exposures to infection, if applied within one hour of intercourse, and when applied five or six hours after intercourse, the treatment will prevent venereal disease in about 50 per cent. of those who would, in the absence of prophylaxis, develop a venereal disease. The author of the volume has been at pains to avoid controversial points, and to include only accepted theories and facts. Therefore he is enabled to give his recommendations in a concise and exact manner that will be welcomed by field sanitarians far beyond the radius of the United States Army. W. P. MacArthur.

A variety of approaches including linear theory, compressible inviscid and viscous computations, and experimental data are considered. Integral transform solutions of the linearized potential equations show an augmentation of the lift magnitude for steady flows when the wall is close to the airfoil surface. For oscillating airfoils, lift augmentation is accompanied by a significant change in the phase of the lift response. Idealized compressible Euler calculations are seen to corroborate the linear theory under conditions that are sufficiently away from acoustic resonance. Further, the theory compares well with compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes calculations and experimental measurements over a wide range of attached flows at subsonic Mach numbers. The present methodology can thus be used to predict wall interference effects and also to help extrapolate linear and nonlinear (dynamic stall) wind tunnel data to free-air conditions.

AB - The effects of short-term oral creatine (Cr) supplementation on exercise performance and on blood pressure and renal function were assessed. Thirty-five healthy, active duty, U.S. Army volunteers (20 men and 15 women; age, 22-36 years) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, supplemented their diet for 7 days with 20 g/day of either Cr or taurine (as placebo). There was no significant difference in 2-minute push-up counts between the Cr and taurine groups from before to after supplementation (p = 0.437; power = 0.98). The Cr group demonstrated a significant increase in serum creatinine levels (p < 0.001), compared with the taurine group, and this increase could be misinterpreted as impairment of renal function. No adverse changes in blood pressure, body composition, weight, or serum Cr phosphokinase levels were observed. We conclude that short-term Cr supplementation appears to be safe but does not enhance push-up performance.

Issue Publication Date: Feb, 2007. AB - Epidemiological studies often have to rely on a participant's self-reporting of information. The validity of the self-report instrument is an important consideration in any study. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the validity of self-reported Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores. The APFT is administered to all soldiers in the U.S. Army twice a year and consists of the maximum number of push-ups completed in 2 minutes, the maximum number of sit-ups completed in 2 minutes, and a 2-mile run for time. Army mechanics responded to a questionnaire in March and June 2004 asking them to report the exact scores of each event on their most recent APFT. Actual APFT scores were obtained from the soldier's military unit. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of actual and self-reported numbers of push-ups was 61 ± 14 and 65 ± 13, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported numbers of sit-ups were 66 ± 10 and 68 ± 10, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported run times (minutes) were 14.8 ± 1.4 and 14.6 ± 1.4, respectively. Correlations between actual and self-reported push-ups, sit-ups, and run were 0.83, 0.71, and 0.85, respectively. On average, soldiers tended to slightly over-report performance on all APFT events and individual self-reported scores could vary widely from actual scores based on Bland-Altman plots. Despite this, the close correlations between the actual and self-reported scores suggest that self-reported values are adequate for most epidemiological military studies involving larger sample sizes.

The data come from a 30-site oral health survey of Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force personnel conducted from February 1994 to January 1995. A systematic random sample of 2,711 recruits was drawn. From a prestratified, random sample of 15,924 active duty personnel, 13,050 (82% response rate) participated in the survey. Applying their best clinical judgment, one dentist per site charted comprehensive dental treatment needs on each service member. Radiographs were used. After the samples were weighted to reflect the 1994 population of recruits (202,144) and active duty personnel (1,699,662), treatment costs were calculated applying median fees reported by U.S. general dentists in 1995. Results show total estimated costs of $1.9 billion for active duty personnel and $203 million for recruits. Periodontal disease accounts for the greatest proportion (47%) of active duty treatment costs, and oral surgery accounts for the greatest proportion (32%) of recruit treatment costs. The cost of restoring U.S. service members to optimal oral health is substantial.

AB - The torture and abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison and at other sites in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Cuba raise disturbing questions that have few, if any, easy answers. Were these intentionally evil acts committed by a few bad apples who took advantage of the power they wielded over the detainees? Or were they cases of administrative evil in which the obvious evil of torture and abuse was masked from the perpetrators, including those who performed subsidiary and supportive functions? The more fundamental question is, are torture and abuse always wrong? How close did the United States come to moral inversion in this case? Judith Shklar's concept of 'putting cruelty first' aids our understanding of this case and points toward a trajectory that could help prevent future moral inversions and administrative evil.

Demobilizing soldiers completed an assessment packet that included questions about demographic factors, relationships, stress, and alcohol-related consequences. Significant predictors of greater alcohol-related consequences, as assessed with the CAGE questionnaire, included fewer years of formal education, male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, racial/ethnic minority status, enlisted rank, having been deployed to the continental United States, and greater stress, whereas significant predictors of drinking and driving included male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, and greater stress. Identifying the predictors of alcohol consequences that occur upon demobilization may aid in determining which soldiers are at risk for such consequences before deployment and may help to maintain military readiness.

AB - Introduction: Military operations, especially combat, expose individuals to multiple stressors, including sleep loss, food deprivation, and sustained physical activity. Civilians, such as woodland firefighters, disaster victims, and relief workers, are also exposed to such environments. Our laboratory developed a brief, intense, laboratory-based simulation of a multistressor environment which included sleep loss, continuous physical activity, and food deprivation. Methods: During this sustained operations (SUSOPS) scenario, and a control period, cognitive performance and mood were measured in 13 volunteers. The scenario included road marches, battle drills, and land navigation. Physical activity and sleep were assessed with actigraphs. Results: Significant decrements in visual vigilance, choice reaction time, and matching-to-sample, a test of short-term memory, were observed. Marksmanship was stable and physical activity significantly increased. Mood states assessed by the Profile of Mood States (POMS: Tension, Depression, Anger, Vigor, Fatigue and Confusion) also significantly deteriorated. Discussion: Cognitive function declined more extensively and rapidly than physical performance. Decrements in cognitive performance were comparable to those in a field study conducted for an equivalent period of time in uncontrolled conditions. This demonstrates that decrements in cognitive function and increased physical activity, similar to those in highly stressful field environments, can be duplicated under controlled conditions. The simulated SUSOPS scenario is an appropriate paradigm for assessment of adverse effects of military and civilian multistress or environments on human performance, physiology, and interventions designed to mitigate them.

AB - Dengue virus, the causative agent of dengue fever and its more serious manifestation dengue hemorrhagic fever, is widespread throughout tropical and subtropical regions. The virus exists as four distinct serotypes, all of which have cocirculated in Bangkok for several decades with epidemic outbreaks occurring every 8-10 years. We analyze time-series data of monthly infection incidence, revealing a distinctive pattern with epidemics of serotypes 1, 2, and 3 occurring at approximately the same time and an isolated epidemic of serotype 4 occurring in the intervening years. Phylogenetic analysis of virus samples collected over the same period shows that clade replacement events are linked to the epidemic cycle and indicates that there is an interserotypic immune reaction. Using an epidemic model with stochastic seasonal forcing showing 8- to 10-year epidemic oscillations, we demonstrate that moderate cross-protective immunity gives rise to persistent out-of-phase oscillations similar to those observed in the data, but that strong or weak cross-protection or cross-enhancement only produces in-phase patterns. This behavior suggests that the epidemic pattern observed in Bangkok is the result of cross-protective immunity and may be significantly altered by changes in the interserotypic immune reaction.

AB - Objective: To assess how numbers and age distributions of cases and deaths during an influenza pandemic in the United States would potentially vary from those during the 1918-1919 pandemic, given the same virulence of the pandemic strain. Methods: Influenza cases and deaths in two referent populations (U.S. residents in 1917 and 2006) were calculated using clinical case rates from three pandemics (1918-like, 1957-like, and 1968-like) and case fatality rates from the 1918-1919 pandemic. Results: Across pandemic scenarios, overall case ('attack') rates ranged from 24.7% to 34.2%, and overall death rates ranged from 4.4 to 6.7 per 1000. In both referent populations, total cases and deaths were significantly higher when using 1957-like and 1968-like, compared to 1918-like, case rates. Under all pandemic scenarios, the most deaths occurred among those aged 25 to 29 years. However, in the 2006 referent population, there were large numbers and high proportions of deaths in middle-aged and elderly adults (unlike during the 1918-1919 pandemic). Conclusions: Numbers and distributions of cases and deaths during influenza pandemics depend on numbers of individuals, clinical case rates, and case fatality rates in relation to age. During a future pandemic in the United States, influenza deaths will likely not be as sharply focused in young adults as in 1918-1919 (even if case fatality rates are similar) because of larger proportions of middle-aged and elderly adults and potentially higher case rates among adults older than 30.

AB - This paper discusses the innovation process of the Battlefield Medical Information System-Tactical (BMIST), a point-of-care mobile computing solution for reducing medical errors and improving the quality of care provided to our military personnel in the field. In such remote environments, medical providers have traditionally had limited access to medical information, a situation quite analogous to that in remote areas of underdeveloped or developing countries. BMIST provides an all-in-one suite of mobile applications that empowers providers via access to critical medical information and powerful clinical decision support tools to accurately create an electronic health record (EHR). This record is synchronized with Department of Defense (DOD) joint health surveillance and medical information systems from the earliest echelons of care through chronic care provided by the Veterans Administration. Specific goals met in the initial phase were: integration of the PDA and wireless interface; development of the local application and user interface; development of a communications infrastructure and development of a data storage and retrieval system. The system had been used extensively in the field to create an EHR far forward that supports a longitudinal medical record across time and across all elements of the Military Healthcare System.

Issue Publication Date: Aug, 2006. AB - Objective: To comply with Army Regulation 600-9, The Army Weight Control Program (AWCP), soldiers must meet age-adjusted body fat standards, regardless of whether they meet or exceed weight-for-height allowances. Recent revisions to Department of Defense (DoD) policies require changes to the AWCP. Specifically, we assessed the effects of increasing weight-for-height allowances and adoption of the DoD body fat equation on compliance with the AWCP in women. Methods: Weight, height, circumferences (neck, forearm, wrist, waist, and hip) to measure body fat, and Army Physical Fitness Test results were obtained from 909 female soldiers (mean (SD) age, 26.2 (6.5) years; body mass index, 24.6 (3.3) kg/m²; body fat, 29.7% (5.0)). Results: Increasing the screening weight-for-height allowances resulted in a 20% reduction in those requiring a body fat measurement (from 55% [n = 498] to 35% [n = 319]). Adopting the DoD body fat equation did not change the proportion of overfat women, i.e., noncompliant with the AWCP, (from 26% [n = 232] to 27% [n = 246]). More women with a waist circumference >35 inches (i.e., at increased disease risk) were identified as noncompliant with the AWCP by the proposed body fat equation (from 76% [n = 61] to 96% [n = 77]). Conclusions: Proposed changes reduce the proportion of women unnecessarily measured for body fat and do not change the proportion of women on the AWCP, yet select more women at increased disease risk and most in need of an effective intervention.

AB - We developed a technique to observe and characterize a novice real-time-strategy (RTS) player's mental model as it shifts with experience. We then tested this technique using an off-the-shelf RTS game, EA Games Generals. Norman defined mental models as, 'an internal representation of a target system that provides predictive and explanatory power to the operator'. In the case of RTS games, the operator is the player and the target system is expressed by the relationships within the game. We studied five novice participants in laboratory-controlled conditions playing a RTS game. They played Command and Conquer Generals for 2 h per day over the course of 5 days. A mental model analysis was generated using player dissimilarity-ratings of the game's artificial intelligence (AI) agents analyzed using multidimensional scaling (MDS) statistical methods. We hypothesized that novices would begin with an impoverished model based on the visible physical characteristics of the game system. As they gained experience and insight, their mental models would shift and accommodate the functional characteristics of the AI agents. We found that all five of the novice participants began with the predicted physical-based mental model. However, while their models did qualitatively shift with experience, they did not necessarily change to the predicted functional- based model. This research presents an opportunity for the design of games that are guided by shifts in a player's mental model as opposed to the typical progression through successive performance levels.

AB - Objective: We sought to identify whether ergonomic factors, job stress, health behavior, and emotional distress are prospectively related to return visits for acute back pain. Methods: A total of 368 U.S. Army soldiers completed a baseline survey of health and work factors at their first visit for back pain. Multivariable regression and structural equation modeling were used to describe the relationships among ergonomic exposure, job stress, smoking, and emotional distress and their ability to predict repeat clinic visits. Results: The path analysis indicated that higher levels of ergonomic exposures were directly related to increased job stress (β = 0.29). Higher levels of job stress were directly related to higher levels of general distress (β = -35). General distress (β = -0.70) and smoking (β = 0.67) were directly linked to clinic visits. Conclusions: Efforts to directly impact emotional distress or indirectly reduce distress by intervening at the levels of ergonomic risks and psychosocial workplace stress should prove useful in the management of acute low back pain.

(1992). Predicting a changing taste: Do people know what they will like? Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 5, 187-200.]. suggesting that people are poor at predicting changes in liking. This is an important issue because an absence of this ability would make it difficult for people to optimize their own choices. Twenty undergraduates and 20 of their parents sampled four relatively unfamiliar consumer products, two foods and two body products, for 8 days. On Day 1, participants rated their initial liking and predicted their liking after seven daily uses of the products. Predictions were compared to actual liking on Day 8. Consistent with prior work, participants were poor at predicting their actual hedonic trajectories because they underestimated the degree to which their preferences would change. Contrary to predictions, parents were no better than students at this task, even though they had some 20-39 years more experience in observing their own hedonic trajectories. There is no evidence for any parent-child resemblance in either liking for the products or ability to accurately predict hedonic trajectory, and no evidence for consistency in ability to predict trajectories across the four different products. In general, participants underestimate the degree to which their preferences will change.

Previous metrics were based on mapping a class's semantic information onto concepts in an application domain knowledge base. Quality measurements were made by operating on the concepts mapped onto. In this work, we consider more complex inter-concept relationships--semantic disambiguities through semantic connections. The idea is that a level of ambiguity is indicated by the connectivity within the knowledge base between two concepts. A cohesion metric based on this idea is shown to perform as well as traditional metrics, and is available much earlier in the development cycle.

AB - The objectives of this study were to generate precise estimates of suicide rates in the military while controlling for factors contributing to rate variability such as demographic differences and classification bias, and to develop a simple methodology for the determination of statistically derived thresholds for detecting significant rate changes. Suicide rate estimates were calculated for the military population and each service branch over 11 years, directly standardized to the 2000 U.S. population. Military rates were highly comparable across branches and were approximately 20% lower than the civilian rate. Direct adjustment essentially controlled for the demographic confounds in this sample. Applying the Poisson-based method, we demonstrate that suicide rate fluctuations as large as 20-40% in any year may be attributed to random error.

AB - In 2001, Congress enacted legislation that required a 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round to realign military units, remove excess facility capacity, and support defense transformation. The United States Army used multiple-objective decision analysis to determine the military value of installations and an installation portfolio model to develop the starting point to identify potential unit realignments and base closures, providing the basis for all recommendations. Ninety-five percent of the army's recommendations were accepted by the BRAC 2005 Commission. The army expects these recommendations to create recurring savings of $1.5 billion annually after completion of BRAC implementation. This paper offers four contributions to decision analysis literature: an instructive application of multiple-objective decision analysis methods to portfolio selection, a useful method for constructing scales for interdependent attributes, a new method for assessing weights that explicitly considers importance and variation (Swing Weight Matrix), and practical advice on how to use multiple-objective decision analysis methods in a complex and controversial political environment.

AB - Contaminated sediments and other sites present a difficult challenge for environmental decisionmakers. They are typically slow to recover or attenuate naturally, may involve multiple regulatory agencies and stakeholder groups, and engender multiple toxicological and ecotoxicological risks. While environmental decision-making strategies over the last several decades have evolved into increasingly more sophisticated, information-intensive, and complex approaches, there remains considerable dissatisfaction among business, industry, and the public with existing management strategies. Consequently, contaminated sediments and materials are the subject of intense technology development, such as beneficial reuse or in situ treatment. However, current decision analysis approaches, such as comparative risk assessment, benefit-cost analysis, and life cycle assessment, do not offer a comprehensive approach for incorporating the varied types of information and multiple stakeholder and public views that must typically be brought to bear when new technologies are under consideration. Alternatively, multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) offers a scientifically sound decision framework for management of contaminated materials or sites where stakeholder participation is of crucial concern and criteria such as economics, environmental impacts, safety, and risk cannot be easily condensed into simple monetary expressions. This article brings together a multidisciplinary review of existing decision-making approaches at regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe and synthesizes state-of-the-art research in MCDA methods applicable to the assessment of contaminated sediment management technologies. Additionally, it tests an MCDA approach for coupling expert judgment and stakeholder values in a hypothetical contaminated sediments management case study wherein MCDA is used as a tool for testing stakeholder responses to and improving expert assessment of innovative contaminated sediments technologies.

AB - The effectiveness of intermittent, microclimate cooling for men who worked in US Army chemical protective clothing (modified mission-oriented protective posture level 3; MOPP 3) was examined. The hypothesis was that intermittent cooling on a 2 min on-off schedule using a liquid cooling garment (LCG) covering 72% of the body surface area would reduce heat strain comparably to constant cooling. Four male subjects completed three experiments at 30°C, 30% relative humidity wearing the LCG under the MOPP 3 during 80 min of treadmill walking at 224± 5 W×m-2. Water temperature to the LCG was held constant at 21°C. The experiments were; 1) constant cooling (CC); 2) intermittent cooling at 2-min intervals (IC); 3) no cooling (NC). Core temperature increased (1.6±0.2°C) in NC, which was greater than IC (0.5±0.2°C) and CC (0.5±0.3°C) (p < 0.05). Mean skin temperature was higher during NC (36.1±0.4°C) than IC (33.7±0.6°C) and CC (32.6±0.6°C) and mean skin temperature was higher during IC than CC (p < 0.05). Mean heart rate during NC (139±9 b×min-1) was greater than IC (110±10 b×min-1) and CC (107 ±9 b×min-1) (p < 0.05). Cooling by conduction (K) during NC (94±4 W×m-2) was lower than IC (142±7 W×m-2) and CC (146±4 W×m-2) (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that IC provided a favourable skin to LCG gradient for heat dissipation by conduction and reduced heat strain comparable to CC during exercise-heat stress in chemical protective clothing.

As complexity rises within the internal and external environments that organizations operate within it is no longer acceptable to be able to perform well when things go as expected; instead individuals, teams, and organizations must be able to continuously adapt their knowledge and skills in order to remain competitive in environments which are fluid, often ambiguous, and where multiple pathways to goal attainment exist. Thus, this volume takes a multi-disciplinary approach to increasing our understanding of adaptability within complex environments by integrating cutting-edge work done by experts in the field and compiling it in one volume. Specifically, the volume takes a systems approach in that chapters describe the manifestation and antecedents of adaptability at individual, team, and organizational levels. In addition, the volume presents work on the importance of cultural adaptability, visualization requirements, measurement approaches, training strategies, and selection for adaptive performance.

Page Count: 14. AB - Robotics technology is becoming increasingly prevalent within military teams, predominantly under the form of operating Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), typically referred to as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Understanding the cognitive and coordinative processes emerging from using such technologies is vital in order to sustain complex operational demands. Moreover, these advances have produced hybrid human-robot teams with unique individual and team cognition characteristics that have to be understood in order to broaden theory and practice in such teams. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop sensitive measures of collaboration and performance, which would accurately diagnose system and operator performance. In turn, these metrics, when used within a contextual theoretical framework, can indicate how to design superior technologies--taking into account both operator and hybrid team demands--for the successful implementation of human-robot teams. This chapter offers an approach based upon the integration of research and theory in both instructional and educational science domains in order to demonstrate how different metrics of performance can successfully measure and assess technology driven human-robot dynamics. Specifically, Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) will be described as it relates to multimedia information processing in order to generate a theoretical framework for use in human-robot teams. In turn, this framework will show how composite measures of individual levels of workload in relation to human-robot team levels of performance can afford useful efficiency indicators about human-robot interactions. Our overarching goal with this chapter is to discuss how such approaches add value to theory and research within human-robot teams.

Page Count: 13. AB - The successful operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is more highly dependent on interface design than that of a manned aerial vehicle. Removed from the haptic, audio, and visual feedback inherent in manned aircraft, the UAV operator must glean most of the information necessary to successfully fly the aircraft and perform the mission strictly from a few visual displays. Current UAV systems perform their activities using conventional, aircraft style displays, however those types of displays may not be suited to multiple, networked UAV operations because they were designed to represent the system function of only one aircraft, rather than multiple aircraft. Previous and current UAV display technology has followed this aircraft-driven design trend of the aircraft centric approach of displaying one's own aircraft information, rather than the synthesis of multiple aircraft information. This paper presents a review of conventional UAV video display technology and current state-of-the-art video display concepts, and discusses why newer, integrated-information visual displays can be more effective for the comprehension of larger amounts of information than existing display types.

Part of that vision includes a backpackable micro aerial vehicle (MAV), controlled by an operator without any traditional pilot experience. Because of its size and its availability to light infantry, the MAV could provide unprecedented situation awareness at the platoon level. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently conducting an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program to develop the technologies that will be required for an operational MAV. The program has focused on flight control, power and propulsion, navigation, and communications for a vertical-take off and landing vehicle. This chapter recounts two studies related to micro aerial vehicles. The goal of our initial study was to assess the usability of a prototype operator control unit (OCU) and establish associated training issues. Study 2 had two main aims. The first was to examine manual control skills in more detail. As such, we designed four flight missions intended to require increasingly precise manual control. The data collected would inform us as to whether operators indeed found these missions increasingly difficult. The second aim of Study 2 was to explore how the available sensor imagery would affect mission performance. The findings of Study 1 reinforced many commonly accepted human factors and interface design principles, such as the need for salient feedback. We are somewhat dismayed that these principles still seem to be ignored by design engineers. As has been found before, manual control was the most challenging aspect of training, as indicated by the time it required and participant comments. The second study focused on manual control and the effects of supplementing the main camera view with additional sensor information from different perspectives.

AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) defines an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a 'powered aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide lift, can fly autonomously or be operated remotely, can be expendable or recoverable, and can carry lethal or nonlethal payloads' (Department of Defense, 2001a). UAVs can be categorized as either autonomous or remotely operated. In autonomous designs, the UAVs fly and execute mission profiles under computer software control. With autonomous UAVs, specialists program an onboard computer that controls the aircraft flight from point-to-point. The UAV generally takes off and lands itself. While a human may develop the software routines that make up the control program defining where the UAV should go and what it should do, it is the onboard computer that actually controls the UAV in flight. A basic remotely operated UAV typically has a crew of three personnel designated as the air vehicle operator, external pilot, and mission payload operator. Today, most UAVs are a blend of both the autonomous and remotely operated systems. While having seen limited use for several decades, UAVs are now rapidly coming into their own as major tactical and strategic systems on the modern battlefield. A myriad of UAV types are currently being operated in the military environment. Many more are in various stages of planning, development, testing, and fielding. As expected, the increase in UAV use has been accompanied by an increased frequency of accidents. Both past and recent studies have implicated human error in 60-80% of manned aircraft accidents for civil and military aviation. This chapter compares and contrasts two different approaches used to examine the role of human factors in U.S. Army UAV accidents and summarizes data from the other branches of the military. In demonstrating that human error plays as significant a role in UAV accidents, this work shows the need for development and implementation of countermeasures that target these errors.

AB - In order to impact system design early in the development process, human factors professionals must be able to anticipate how the equipment will be operated and maintained even before prototypes exist or when testing is still in its early stages. Perhaps the most challenging task that human factors professionals encounter is predicting crew performance for new systems within its concept of operations during these early stages. Data regarding the operators' interface requirements, performance levels, crew size, skills, and training requisites are essential to the design process. Fortunately, a variety of modeling and simulation tools have been developed that make meeting this challenge more tractable. The purpose of this chapter is to elucidate a generic design philosophy and discuss specific examples of methodologies and tools used to support actual unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) development programs.

AB - With the continuing evolution of technology, our capacity to sense environments at a distance has grown exponentially over the last two to three decades. The natural outcome of this extension of sensory capabilities is the understandable wish to exert comparative action at a distance. But, imagine a world in which we could each effect action simultaneously at diverse locations! It would be like trying to have a phone conversation with every phone user in the world, all at the same time (after all, speech does effect action at a distance). Evidently, this would represent a chaotic cacophony in which, not only would you not be able to interact with everyone effectively, you would not be able to interact with anyone effectively. While extending our capacities for perception and action are evidently important, it is the selective and effective extension of such capacities we really desire. Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are one obvious, contemporary technical instantiation of this evolutionary vector in extending human perception-action capabilities. As evident from our initial observations above, the central problem of ROV development is not the feasibility and creation of the hardware per se, as difficult an engineering challenge as this may be. Rather, the crucial issue is the assimilation of the relevant sensory inputs, the processing of information pertinent to specified user goals, and the translation of the user's subsequent decisions into effective action. Thus, the fundamental barrier to success in this realm is not a technological one but a use-centered one. In this chapter, we therefore adopt this use-centered perspective and present steps toward an integrated, functional architecture for ROV operations and eventually a much-elaborated spectrum of advanced technologies. We do this by considering the issue from both a topdown and a bottom-up perspective.

AB - The focus of this chapter is on current scientific understanding of the performance of expert teams--what is it that these teams do, think, or feel that makes them expert. So, the authors present a brief review of the state-of-the-art in the study of performance of expert teams. The authors define an expert team as a set of interdependent team members, each of whom possesses unique and expert-level knowledge, skills, and experience related to task performance, and who adapt, coordinate, and cooperate as a team, thereby producing sustainable and repeatable team functioning at superior or at least near-optimal levels of performance. Expert teams are primarily characterized by high levels of team and task outcomes, achieved via the team's effective utilization of team member task-related expertise and the mastery of team processes. To that end, this chapter addresses three questions. First, what are the theories that are driving the research in the domain of expert teams? Second, what methods are being used to study expert teams? Third, given these things, what do we currently know about the performance of expert teams? The authors hope that in briefly addressing these three questions they will get a glimpse at the making of a 'dream team'--what are the cognitions, behaviors, and attitudes that we should strive for in high performing teams.

AB - The Study Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is made up of 287 questions divided into 56 individual quizzes of 5-10 questions each that correspond to chapters in The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Third Edition. Questions are followed by an Answer Guide that references relevant text (including the page number) in the Textbook to allow quick access to needed information. Each answer is accompanied by a discussion that not only addresses the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct. The Study Guide's companion, the third edition of The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, both scholarly and practical, continues the tradition of integrating clinical wisdom and scientific research to improve patient care and advocacy for children and families. Comprehensive, yet not so lengthy that it would discourage a resident in training or a busy practitioner looking for an update, this well-organized reference focuses on clinical issues (based on empirical research) and is thus extremely practical for everyday use.

AB - In discussing the contributions of the Army Research Institute (ARI) to national security, this chapter focuses on three broad concerns affecting the U.S. Army: (a) selecting, assigning, and recruiting soldiers; (b) training soldiers and developing leaders; and (c) enhancing soldier performance. Within this broad framework, we discuss some of the major research projects that ARI has undertaken through the years and how these have had an impact on the Army and on psychology and other behavioral sciences. The three categories in this framework are not necessarily orthogonal, and the discussions within them will be necessarily brief. Furthermore, because of limited space, the discussion of topics is selective and not comprehensive. The authors have striven to discuss those topic areas that they felt had the biggest impact on the Army, on other military services, and on the behavioral sciences.

Page Count: 13. AB - Throughout the initiation and development of special operations psychological programs, several consistent themes have emerged. Psychologists function in an advisory role. In selection programs, they provide the command with the best possible assessment but leave the decision in the hands of the commander, who is the individual responsible for living with the consequences of the selection decision. These psychologists have been most successful when they have been assigned to the lowest possible level. Because of the sensitivity of the information psychologists provide, they must be trusted agents. To be successful, they must have the trust of both the unit commanders and the unit's soldiers. To gain this trust, the psychologist must walk a very careful line ethically, being constantly aware of the potential for and avoiding improper dual relationships. At the same time, the psychologist must be intimately familiar with the job requirements of the unit and must be seen as supportive of the organization's mission. Although not without its own set of problems, the role of an internal consultant, assigned to the supported unit, has been successful. Work in this area requires specialized training and experience. Although not inordinately difficult to acquire, in most cases it is critical to success. In some areas, such as SERE support, specialized training is an ethical and regulatory requirement. In others, such as providing assessments of average- to high-functioning soldiers, this work requires a shift in the internal norms that psychologists use from assessing psychopathology to assessing each individual's strengths and vulnerabilities. Psychologists must provide feedback in a useful and understandable manner. The use of psychologists in the selection and assessment of soldiers for Special Operations Forces has shown tremendous growth over the past 15 years. Screening drill sergeants, providing support to basic trainees, and assisting with the selection and training of recruiters are just some of the areas currently being developed.

AB - The importance of the psychological effects of 'weapons of mass destruction,' or 'WMD,' is increasingly being recognized in the post-9/11 era. WMD include chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear, and high-explosive weapons. However, with the exception of nuclear weapons and high explosives, most WMD do not cause large-scale physical destruction. Therefore, a better term would be 'weapons of mass disruption,' as these weapons can cause mass casualties along with extreme psychosocial effects. This chapter concentrates on psychological effects of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. A historical review of psychological effects following CBRN attacks and accidents begins the chapter, followed by a summary of the acute and long-term psychological effects. The last section has suggestions for mitigation of these psychological effects. For reference, the appendix contains a brief description of CBRN agents and their medical effects.

AB - Recently, interest in resilience-building interventions that help individuals prepare for and recover from disasters and terrorism has surged. Unfortunately, the constructs used to define resilience are often extrapolated loosely and/or interchangeably. Program recommendations often lack a sound empirical and theoretical base. Research in resilience, hardiness, stress resistance, and recovery from trauma has been conducted within the fields of developmental pathology, trauma, and positive psychology, with little cross-referencing among fields. First we define a few core constructs related to resilience, with a discussion of their possible contributions to intervention strategies to foster resilience and recovery.

AB - Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a general term encompassing a wide variety of clothing and equipment that is worn to protect against hazards to personal life and health. A commonality among different types of PPE is that these items are the last line of defense. Depending on the hazard, the outcome of failure of the protective equipment ranges from increased probability of injury to immediate threat to life. Therefore, in a program of hazard control, use of PPE is a last resort. Topics discussed in this chapter include hazard controls; thermal environment, physiology, and protective clothing; physiological implications of PPE use; and performance in PPE.

AB - Establishing a direct link between values (organizationally espoused or not) and behavior or performance is a difficult task. In terms of the core values for military organizations, we posit that such a relationship is significantly more complex than a simple values/behavior/performance link. Our belief is that this relationship is rooted in socialization and the identity development of service members. When an initial entry employee (e.g., military recruit) identifies with core organizational values, is socialized within the culture, and develops a role identity at the individual and group level, the stage is set for pro-organizational behavior and performance. To describe this process, we will draw from the industrial and organizational psychology literature. Specifically, we will review relevant research on self-concept and role identity, organizational socialization, behavioral indicators of successful socialization, and performance. Drawing from these literatures, we argue that basic tendencies such as values are cognitive adaptations that are shaped by one's self-concept and socialization experiences. In turn, one's socialization and identity influence behavior and performance and in this manner serve as a primary mediator in linking values to behavior and performance. Thus, we suggest that organizationally espoused and inculcated values are relevant to specific performance criteria to the extent that they are linked to a self-concept activated by specific contextual and environmental cues (i.e., the process of organizational socialization). This model will serve to facilitate the rest of the chapter. Specifically, we will discuss each element of the model, presenting brief reviews of each component and making the case for how each is an important part of the process in linking values to performance. Simultaneous to this process, we will use a vignette comparing two socialization scenarios--one unsuccessful and one successful--to illustrate the elements of the model and highlight its practical importance.

AB - In this chapter, the author provides a personal view of military culture and values. He recounts his experiences of military life in garrisons, as well as military life in a combat zone. He discusses the assessment of military culture and values, and suggests that in looking at these topics, one has to consider the service member as the focal centerpiece. It is the character of the service member that matters, as shaped, developed, and reinforced in small work group culture and values.

AB - The psychological health and well-being of military personnel is important to the effectiveness of a nation's military, the adjustment of military families, and the integration of military personnel into the larger civilian community. This four-volume set, Military Life: The Psychology of Serving in Peace and Combat, is organized around four defining fields of applied military psychology: military performance, operational stress, the military family, and military culture. Each volume begins with a riveting account of an individual's experience. These first-person accounts leave no doubt that the topics covered in this set are real, relevant, and deeply felt. The fourth volume in the set, Military Culture, addresses the wider context of values, group diversity, and perceptions of the military, each of which has potential implications for the well-being and performance of military personnel. The role of values is explored in three chapters that address cross-cultural values, the link between military values and performance, and the concept of courage. The next section explores specific groups within the military and the larger cultural trends that affect these groups: military reservists, women in the military, and the issue of gays serving in the armed forces. The final section of the volume examines how the military is perceived: the attitudes of service members about quality of life in the military, the role of the media in covering military operations, and the development of public attitudes toward the military and how these attitudes influence recruiting.

Growing up, many live relatively isolated from traditional American communities because they are transient, and many live in segregated government housing on and off military installations around the U.S. and overseas (Orthner, 2002). Likewise, they are hidden immigrants of sorts, as they may feel disconnected once they return to the United States or leave the military community. They carry an identity kit of socialization in a military family--it emerges frequently when they're asked, 'So where are you from?' The pat replies are, 'I'm an Army brat,' 'I'm a military brat,' or 'I grew up in a Navy family.' The questioner somehow, in his or her schema, recognizes the unique nature of such an upbringing--a schema that may have been constructed through American cinema (Ender, in press). Details about the life of children from military families rarely become visible to those outside of the military community. The exceptions to this are when individuals develop personal relationships with a military child and when the media report on a military child (e.g., Aldinger, 2000; Komarow, 2000; 'Today's Debate,' 2004) or portray a military child in film (see Ender, in press, for a review). These media portrayals are few and far between and represent a civil-military gap. At the intersection of this gap is a lack of appreciation and understanding of what happens in the military family. This gap further exacerbates the unique demands of military family life. What follows in this chapter is a brief highlight of some demographics of children in military families and an extensive review of the literature on demands of the military lifestyle with specific references to the psychological and sociological implications for children from military families. These demands are found individually in the larger society. Thus, many of the demands are not unique to the military experience. However, collectively these demands make the military family and the development of children unlike any other family group (Rothrauff, Cable, & Coleman, 2004). In addition, included throughout the chapter are open-ended comments from military children, collected during a study of the military child's experience (Ender, 2000). These comments are designed to give a voice to the experiences of military children. The chapter concludes with some policy recommendations and directions for future research.

AB - Argues that all indoctrination has the same overarching goal, to train recruits/cadets physically and mentally and instill in them an understanding of, and willingness to live by, the values held by each service (TRADOC Regulation 350-6). Said differently, indoctrination changes civilian individuals into part of something larger, a collective group that shares a unique identity. Indoctrination has three specific goals: (1) to remove characteristics that are detrimental to military life (that is, to subordinate self-interest to follow orders), (2) to train individuals to kill when necessary, and (3) to enable recruits to view themselves in collective terms. In this chapter, we describe general theoretical models of indoctrination and apply these models to the indoctrination of service members into the U.S. Armed Forces. In doing this, we note how military indoctrination deviates from more traditional 'cult' forms of indoctrination and make the argument that indoctrination can be used in the service of laudable goals. The nature of and need for military indoctrination is examined. Military versus cult indoctrination is compared. Indoctrination processes are discussed. It is maintained that while the processes of indoctrination may be operating on the recruits, the recruits themselves experience the process from their unique perspective. To study the phenomenology of indoctrination, we turned to where the majority of concentrated indoctrination occurs: initial training courses. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future directions.

The standard U.S. Army aviation helmet is equipped with a noise-canceling acoustic microphone, but some ambient noise still is transmitted. Throat microphones are not sensitive to air molecule vibrations and thus, transmittal of ambient noise is reduced. It is possible that throat microphones could enhance speech communication in helicopters, but speech intelligibility with the devices must first be assessed. In the current study, speech intelligibility of signals generated by an acoustic microphone, a throat microphone, and by the combined output of the two microphones was assessed using the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT). Methods: Stimulus words were recorded in a reverberant chamber with ambient broadband noise intensity at 90 and 106 dBA. Listeners completed the MRT task in the same settings, thus simulating the typical environment of a rotary-wing aircraft. Results: Results show that speech intelligibility is significantly worse for the throat microphone (average percent correct = 55.97) than for the acoustic microphone (average percent correct = 69.70), particularly for the higher noise level. In addition, no benefit is gained by simultaneously using both microphones. A follow-up experiment evaluated different consonants using the Diagnostic Rhyme Test and replicated the MRT results. Discussion: The current results show that intelligibility using throat microphones is poorer than with the use of boom microphones in noisy and in quiet environments. Therefore, throat microphones are not recommended for use in any situation where fast and accurate speech intelligibility is essential.

AB - As Norman (1986) has clearly pointed out, the peer review process has an impact on the science of psychology in two very important ways. First, the process is the primary determinant in the dissemination of research results in peer-reviewed publications. Second, and probably even more important, the peer-review process has a major impact on the allocation of grant and contract funds to behavioral scientists to do their research. The funding decisions determine to a great extent what research does or does not get done. Fortunately, the broad factors that make for a good review of a journal article, book, book chapter, or grant/ contract proposal are the same: In all cases, reviews that are unbiased, competent, constructive, and free from ad hominem personal attacks are the objective. These broad factors are not orthogonal and, as a result, overlap to some degree, as we shall see.

Because extensive medical data are available on this cross-sectional and diverse population, identification of the underlying causes of sudden death may promote health care policy to reduce the incidence of sudden death. Objective: To determine the causes of nontraumatic sudden death among a cohort of military recruits. Design: Retrospective cohort study using demographic and autopsy data from the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. Setting: Basic military training. Patients: All nontraumatic sudden deaths from a monitored 6.3 million men and women age 18 to 35 years. Measurements: Descriptive analysis, crude mortality rates of causes of sudden death, and frequency of events as a function of cause of death. Results: Of 126 nontraumatic sudden deaths (rate, 13.0/100 000 recruit-years), 108 (86%) were related to exercise. The most common cause of sudden death was an identifiable cardiac abnormality (64 of 126 recruits [51 %]); however, a substantial number of deaths remained unexplained (44 of 126 recruits [35%]). The predominant structural cardiac abnormalities were coronary artery abnormalities (39 of 64 recruits [61%]), myocarditis (13 of 64 recruits [20%]), and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (8 of 64 recruits [13%]). An anomalous coronary artery accounted for one third (21 of 64 recruits) of the cases in this cohort, and, in each, the left coronary artery arose from the right (anterior) sinus of Valsalva, coursing between the pulmonary artery and aorta. Limitations: This cohort underwent a preenlistment screening program that included history and physical examination; this may have altered outcomes. Conclusions: Cardiac abnormalities are the leading identifiable cause of sudden death among military recruits; however, more than one third of sudden deaths remain unexplained after detailed medical investigation.

AB - Using a stressor-strain framework, this research examined the role of supervisory support at 2 organizational levels in the relationship between the work stressor of interpersonal conflict and organizational commitment in a military sample. In all analyses, supervisory support at both levels was conceptualized and modeled as a shared group attribute. Results indicated that perceptions of interpersonal conflict within the organization were related negatively to both affective and continuance commitment. Support from both first-line supervisors and midlevel managers was related to employees' affective commitment. First-line supervisor support was related also to employees' continuance commitment. Furthermore, midlevel management support attenuated the relationship between interpersonal conflict and continuance commitment. Implications for the assessment of different levels of supervisory support, different variants of organizational commitment, and interpersonal conflict are discussed.

AB - The authors examined whether engagement in a performance domain could buffer or exacerbate the consequences of different stressors. Soldiers completed measures of engagement in work, work demands (days training, work hours, and subjective work overload), and symptoms at two time periods. Engagement in work interacted with days training and work hours at Time 1 to predict health symptoms at Time 2 (after controlling Time 1 outcomes). Soldiers highly engaged in their jobs were less likely to report negative consequences under high levels of training/work hours in comparison to soldiers disengaged from their jobs. However, engagement in work interacted with work overload in the opposite manner, with high levels of engagement potentiating the relationship between overload and reports of health symptoms. Engagement in a domain appears to buffer individuals from stressors that do not undermine performance but may exacerbate the impact of stressors that compromise performing well in the domain.

Issue Publication Date: Nov, 2005. AB - In 1994, Congress provided $40M for biomedical research on issues of importance for military women. This supported 104 intramural and 30 extramural studies and launched an era of research to narrow the knowledge gap on protection and enhancement of health and performance of military women. Projects addressed issues specific to female physiology (e.g., gynecological health in the field, maternal malaria), problems with higher prevalence for women (e.g., marginal iron deficiency, stress fracture), and issues of drug and materiel safety that had only been extrapolated from studies of men (e.g., chemical agent prophylaxis, fatigue countermeasures). Several important assumptions about female physiology and occupational risks were found to be astoundingly wrong. Hormonal changes through the menstrual cycle were less important to acute health risks and performance than predicted, exercise did not increase risk for amenorrhea and consequent bone mineral loss, and women tolerated G-forces and could be as safe as men in the cockpit if their equipment was designed for normal size and strength ranges. Data on personal readiness issues, such as body fat, physical fitness, nutrition, and postpartum return to duty, allowed reconsideration of standards that were gender appropriate and not simply disconnected adjustments to existing male standards. Other discoveries directly benefited men as well as women, including development of medical surveillance databases, identification of task strength demands jeopardizing safety and performance, and greater understanding of the effects of psychosocial stress on health and performance. This surge of research has translated into advances for the welfare of servicewomen and the readiness of the entire force; relevant gender issues are now routine considerations for researchers and equipment developers, and some key remaining research gaps of special importance to military women continue to be investigated.

AB - Using a prospective design, physical health symptoms were examined in a sample of 198 peacekeepers. At pre-deployment, general life stressors and pre-deployment stress symptoms were significant predictors of physical health symptoms. At post-deployment, physical health symptoms were predicted by pre-existing physical health symptoms and stress symptoms reported before and after the mission; mission-related stressors were not associated with physical health symptoms. In addition, stress symptoms mediated the relationship between exposure and physical symptoms. Finally, the hyperarousal symptom cluster was a better predictor of physical health complaints than the other symptom clusters. Implications and limitations are discussed.

However, theoretical frameworks for developing homologous multilevel theories (i.e., theories involving parallel relationships between parallel constructs at different levels of analysis) have yet to be developed, and current analytical tools for testing such theories and models are limited and inflexible. In this article, the authors first propose a typology of multilevel theories of homology that considers different stages of theory development and different levels of similarity in relationships across levels. Building on cross-validation principles, the authors then delineate and demonstrate a comprehensive and flexible statistical procedure for testing different multilevel theories of homology. Finally, the authors discuss implications for theory, research, and practice, as well as potential caveats of the new statistical tests.

Although sites and mechanisms of action and the pathologies caused by different chemical insults vary, common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes provide targets for MTMC drugs. This article will review the MTMC hypothesis for blister and nerve agents and will expand the scope of the concept to include other chemicals as well as briefly consider biological agents. The article will also consider how common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes that contribute to clinical pathologies and syndromes may relate to the toxicity of threat agents. Discovery of MTMC provides the opportunity for the integration of diverse researchers and clinicians, and for the exploitation of cutting-edge technologies and drug discovery. The broad-spectrum nature of MTMC can augment military and civil defense to combat chemical warfare and chemical terrorism.

Before selecting a particular instrument, researchers must first determine whether to use a multi-item or single-item instrument to measure the concept to be evaluated. Currently, single-item measures are widely used for both pain and job satisfaction research. Objective: To review theoretical and empirical studies of single-item measures, with an emphasis on graphic representational (faces) scales. Methods: In this review, theoretical considerations, reliability, validity issues, and comparisons between single- and multiple-item measures are discussed. Faces scales are emphasized as an economical method for assessing such affective responses as pain and job satisfaction. Results: Single-item measures in general, and faces scales in particular, can be valid and reliable measures for global concepts. Conclusions: Because of their ease of administration, lessened respondent burden, and global concept representation, single-item measures have great potential for various types of research. Nurse researchers should seriously consider single-item measures as part of their methodological research 'toolkit.'

Before the 18th century, foot soldiers seldom carried more than 15 kg while on the march, but loads have progressively risen since then. This load increase is presumably due to the weight of weapons and equipment that incorporate new technologies to increase protection, firepower, communications, and mobility. Research shows that locating the load center of mass as close as possible to the body center of mass results in the lowest energy cost and tends to keep the body in an upright position similar to unloaded walking. Loads carried on other parts of the body result in higher energy expenditures: each kilogram added to the foot increases energy expenditure 7% to 10%; each kilogram added to the thigh increases energy expenditure 4%. Hip belts on rucksacks should be used whenever possible as they reduce pressure on the shoulders and increase comfort. Low or mid-back load placement might be preferable on uneven terrain but high load placement may be best for even terrain. In some tactical situations, combat load carts can be used, and these can considerably reduce energy expenditure and improve performance. Physical training that includes aerobic exercise, resistance training targeted at specific muscle groups, and regular road marching can considerably improve road marching speed and efficiency. The energy cost of walking with backpack loads increases progressively with increases in weight carried, body mass, walking speed, or grade; type of terrain also influences energy cost. Predictive equations have been developed, but these may not be accurate for prolonged load carriage. Common injuries associated with prolonged load carriage include foot blisters, stress fractures, back strains, metatarsalgia, rucksack palsy, and knee pain. Load carriage can be facilitated by lightening loads, improving load distribution, optimizing load-carriage equipment, and taking preventive action to reduce the incidence of injury.

This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors.

Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

JO - Journal of Nursing Scholarship JF - Journal of Nursing Scholarship Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 274 EP - 283 SN - 15276546 AB - Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the nursing practice environment and burnout of nursing personnel assigned to a deployed combat support hospital (CSH). A secondary aim was to compare differences in the level of burnout between the deployed Army nursing personnel and Army nursing personnel assigned to an Army hospital in the United States that served as the U.S. military's primary referral center for American combat casualties evacuated from Iraq. Design: A nonexperimental cross-sectional design was used for this study. Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Practice Environment Scale were administered to 105 personnel who deployed with a CSH to Iraq. Data from this study were linked to data obtained from 152 nursing personnel who participated in an earlier burnout study at a large Army hospital in the United States. The linked datasets yielded a final sample of 257 Army nursing personnel. Analysis of variance and linear regression analysis were used to analyze these data. Findings: Emotional exhaustion was common across groups. For the deployed nursing personnel, emotional exhaustion was related to a perceived lack of support from management, foundations for quality of care, collegial relationships, and extended work schedules. The U.S.-based Army hospital group scored significantly higher emotional exhaustion, but it was related to the additional responsibilities associated with being an Army nurse, working extended schedules, and working with combat casualties for extended periods of time. The U.S.-based group perceived more personal accomplishment from the work they do. Conclusions: Burnout was common across Army hospital settings. Emotional exhaustion was most problematic in the U.S.-based Army hospital; however, there was less cynicism toward patients and a greater perception of personal accomplishment associated with work. Clinical Relevance: This study supports the importance of a professional practice environment for Army nursing personnel both during deployment and in U.S.-based Army hospitals.

Many of these soldiers sustain non-emergent musculoskeletal injuries that initially are treated nonoperatively and ultimately require surgery following their combat tour. Methods: A prospective evaluation of the orthopaedic surgery consultations and surgical procedures required by soldiers returning from a full combat deployment was performed. Demographic information (including age and sex) as well as information on the mechanism of injury, the reason for orthopaedic consultation, and the procedures performed was collected for each soldier. The overall incidence of non-emergent orthopaedic injuries was calculated, and multivariate Poisson regression analysis was utilized to determine the effect of age and sex on the type of orthopaedic injury sustained. Results: There were 3787 soldiers who returned from combat operations at the end of a fifteen-month deployment without having been medically evacuated. There were 731 orthopaedic surgical consultations for the evaluation of a nonemergent musculoskeletal complaint, and 140 orthopaedic operations were performed as a result. An age of thirty years or more was an important risk factor for requiring an orthopaedic consultation (p < 0.0001). The most common surgical procedures were performed for shoulder stabilization, for superior labrum anterior to posterior lesion repair, for the treatment of internal derangement of the knee, and for the treatment of foot deformity. Conclusions: Nineteen percent of all soldiers who completed a combat deployment required an orthopaedic surgical consultation on return, and 4% of soldiers required orthopaedic surgery. More than half of the surgical procedures involved the knee or shoulder. This represents a large burden of care for returning soldiers on orthopaedic surgical services and has important implications for future resource utilization. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level I.

By incorporating a test of humoral response into controlled reproductive and developmental studies, more comprehensive results can be gathered to assess the potential for disease. The foreign red blood cells (RBC) challenge is a minimally invasive method for evaluating humoral responses to a foreign antigen. Typically, antibody response is assessed following injections of sheep erythrocytes; however, Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are only minimally sensitive to sheep RBC. In the present study, adult Japanese quail were treated with 5% solutions of RBC from goose, goat, cow, donkey, or pig in primary and secondary challenges. After each treatment, plasma samples were taken and antibody responses were measured for total immunoglobulins (Ig), IgG, and IgM. Overall, goose RBC generated the poorest responses in both primary and secondary challenges, while the strongest antibody responses were to pig and donkey RBC. Therefore, pig RBC appear to be a superior antigen for testing humoral response in Japanese quail.

The use of intravenous fluids for volume replacement during hemorrhagic shock is controversial, but it is currently the standard of care. In the far-forward environment, large volume resuscitation for massive bleeding is a great challenge. Crystalloid and colloid solutions add weight and bulk to the medic's kit, require temperature sensitive storage, and should be warmed before infusion to prevent hypothermia. Excessive use of these solutions causes a dilutional coagulopathy, acidosis, and potentially increased inflammatory injury compared with blood products. Type-specific whole blood from an uninjured combat companion on the other hand is almost always available. It is warm, replaces intravascular volume, and provides oxygen delivery and hemostatic capacity to prevent or treat shock and coagulopathy. Whole blood may be ideal for the resuscitation of combat casualties with hemorrhagic shock. BFF program pilot studies on use of platelet-sparing leukoreduction filters, whole blood transport tolerance, donor performance, and autologous reinfusion of 24-hour ambient temperature stored whole blood have been performed and suggest the feasibility of expanding whole blood use in resuscitation. If successful, the BFF program will change tactics, techniques, and procedures with a new lifesaving capability.

T1 - Fresh whole blood use by forward surgical teams in Afghanistan is associated with improved survival compared to component therapy without platelets. JO - Transfusion JF - Transfusion Y1 - 2013/01/02/Jan2013 Supplement VL - 53 M3 - Article SP - 107S EP - 113S SN - 00411132 AB - Background In Afghanistan, a substantial portion of resuscitative combat surgery is performed by US Army forward surgical teams ( FSTs). Red blood cells ( RBCs) and fresh frozen plasma ( FFP) are available at these facilities, but platelets are not. FST personnel frequently encounter high-acuity patient scenarios without the ability to transfuse platelets. An analysis of the use of fresh whole blood ( FWB) at FSTs therefore allows for an evaluation of outcomes associated with this practice. Study Design and Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in prospectively collected data from all transfused patients at six FSTs from December 2005 to December 2010. Univariate analysis was performed, followed by two separate propensity score analyses. In-hospital mortality was predicted with the use of a conditional logistic regression model that incorporated these propensity scores. Subset analysis included evaluation of patients who received uncrossmatched Type O FWB compared with those who received type-specific FWB. Results A total of 488 patients received a blood transfusion. There were no significant differences in age, sex, or Glasgow Coma Scale in those who received or did not receive FWB. Injury Severity Scores were higher in patients transfused FWB. In our adjusted analyses, patients who received RBCs and FFP with FWB had improved survival compared with those who received RBCs and FFP without FWB. Of 94 FWB recipients, 46 FWB recipients (49%) were given uncrossmatched Type O FWB, while 48 recipients (51%) received type-specific FWB. There was no significant difference in mortality between patients that received uncrossmatched Type O and type-specific FWB. Conclusions The use of FWB in austere combat environments appears to be safe and is independently associated with improved survival to discharge when compared with resuscitation with RBCs and FFP alone. Mortality was similar for patients transfused uncrossmatched Type O compared with ABO type-specific FWB in an austere setting.

JO - Molecular Ecology JF - Molecular Ecology Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 21 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4359 EP - 4370 SN - 09621083 AB - Understanding the interplay of dispersal and how it translates into gene flow is key to understanding population processes, and especially so for endangered species occupying fragmented habitats. In migratory songbirds, there is evidence that long-distance movement capabilities do not translate well into observed dispersal. Our objectives were to (i) define the fine-scale spatial genetic structure in endangered black-capped vireos to characterize dispersal patterns and (ii) to correlate dispersal dynamics to overall population genetic structure using a simulation approach. We sampled 160 individuals over 2 years to (i) describe the fine-scale genetic structuring and (ii) used this information to model scenarios to compare with actual data on change in population structuring over a 100-year interval. We found that black-capped vireos exhibit male philopatry and restricted dispersal distances, relative to females. Our simulations also support a sex-biased dispersal model. Additionally, we find that fragmentation related changes in rates of dispersal might be a likely cause for increasing levels of population structure over a 100-year period. We show that restricted sex-biased dispersal can explain population structuring in this species and that changes in dispersal rates due to fragmentation may be a continuing threat to genetic viability in this species.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2011/10// VL - 8 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 588 EP - 599 SN - 15459624 AB - Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to clothing and equipment designed to protect individuals from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive hazards. The materials used to provide this protection may exacerbate thermal strain by limiting heat and water vapor transfer. Any new PPE must therefore be evaluated to ensure that it poses no greater thermal strain than the current standard for the same level of hazard protection. This review describes how such evaluations are typically conducted. Comprehensive evaluation of PPE begins with a biophysical assessment of materials using a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal resistance and water vapor permeability). These characteristics are then evaluated on a thermal manikin wearing the PPE, since thermal properties may change once the materials have been constructed into a garment. These data may be used in biomedical models to predict thermal strain under a variety of environmental and work conditions. When the biophysical data indicate that the evaporative resistance (ratio of permeability to insulation) is significantly better than the current standard, the PPE is evaluated through human testing in controlled laboratory conditions appropriate for the conditions under which the PPE would be used if fielded. Data from each phase of PPE evaluation are used in predictive models to determine user guidelines, such as maximal work time, work/rest cycles, and fluid intake requirements. By considering thermal stress early in the development process, health hazards related to temperature extremes can be mitigated while maintaining or improving the effectiveness of the PPE for protection from external hazards.

It is unknown whether adopting a forefoot strike technique will decrease the pain and disability associated with chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) in hindfoot strike runners.Hypothesis: For people who have CECS, adopting a forefoot strike running technique will lead to decreased pain and disability associated with this condition.Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.Methods: Ten patients with CECS indicated for surgical release were prospectively enrolled. Resting and postrunning compartment pressures, kinematic and kinetic measurements, and self-report questionnaires were taken for all patients at baseline and after 6 weeks of a forefoot strike running intervention. Run distance and reported pain levels were recorded. A 15-point global rating of change (GROC) scale was used to measure perceived change after the intervention.Results: After 6 weeks of forefoot run training, mean postrun anterior compartment pressures significantly decreased from 78.4 ± 32.0 mm Hg to 38.4 ± 11.5 mm Hg. Vertical ground-reaction force and impulse values were significantly reduced. Running distance significantly increased from 1.4 ± 0.6 km before intervention to 4.8 ± 0.5 km 6 weeks after intervention, while reported pain while running significantly decreased. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) significantly increased from 49.9 ± 21.4 to 90.4 ± 10.3, and the Lower Leg Outcome Survey (LLOS) significantly increased from 67.3 ± 13.7 to 91.5 ± 8.5. The GROC scores at 6 weeks after intervention were between 5 and 7 for all patients. One year after the intervention, the SANE and LLOS scores were greater than reported during the 6-week follow-up. Two-mile run times were also significantly faster than preintervention values. No patient required surgery.Conclusion: In 10 consecutive patients with CECS, a 6-week forefoot strike running intervention led to decreased postrunning lower leg intracompartmental pressures. Pain and disability typically associated with CECS were greatly reduced for up to 1 year after intervention. Surgical intervention was avoided for all patients.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 40 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 808 EP - 814 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Knees undergoing revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction typically have more intra-articular injuries than do knees undergoing primary reconstruction.Hypothesis: Previous partial meniscectomy (PM) is associated with a higher rate of chondral lesions at revision ACL reconstruction, whereas previous meniscal repair (MR) is not associated with a higher rate of chondral lesions at revision ACL reconstruction, compared with knees undergoing revision ACL with no previous meniscal surgery.Study design: Cohort study (Prevalence); Level of evidence, 2.Methods: Data from a multicenter cohort was reviewed to determine the history of prior meniscal surgery (PM/MR) and the presence of grade II/III/IV chondral lesions at revision ACL reconstruction. The association between previous meniscal surgery and the incidence of chondral lesions was examined. Patient age was included as a covariate to determine if surgery type contributes predictive information independent of patient age.Results: The cohort included 725 ACL revision surgeries. Chondrosis was associated with patient age (P < .0001) and previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001). After adjusting for patient age, knees with previous PM were more likely to have chondrosis than knees with previous MR (P = .003) or no previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001). There was no difference between knees without previous meniscal surgery and knees with previous MR (P = .7). Previous partial meniscectomy was associated with a higher rate of chondrosis in the same compartment compared with knees without previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001) and knees with previous MR (P ≤ .03).Conclusion: The status of articular cartilage at the time of revision ACL reconstruction relates to previous meniscal surgery independent of the effect of patient age. Previous partial meniscectomy is associated with a higher incidence of articular cartilage lesions, whereas previous meniscal repair is not. Although this association may reflect underlying differences in the knee at the time of prior surgery, it does suggest that meniscal repair is preferable when possible at the time of ACL reconstruction.

To develop models, 32 physically trained men (mean ± SD: 28.0 ± 4.7 years, 82.1 ± 11.3 kg, 176.3 ± 7.5 cm) underwent ( 1 ) anthropometric measures: height and body mass; (2) fitness tests: push-ups, sit-ups, 3.2-km run, vertical, jump, horizontal jump; (3) simulated battlefield physical performance in fighting load: five 30-m sprints prone to prone, 400-m run, obstacle course, and casualty recovery. Although greater body mass was positively associated with better casualty recovery performance, it showed trends toward poorer performance on all the other fitness and military performance tests. Regression equations well predicted the simulated battlefield performance from the anthropometric measures and physical fitness tests (r = 0.77-0.82). The vertical jump entered all four prediction equations and the horizontal jump entered one of them. The equations, using input from easy to administer tests, effectively predict simulated battlefield physical performance.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2007/12// VL - 172 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1275 EP - 1278 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - A cross-sectional study of 432 army college students comprising 278 medical cadets and 154 nursing students, ages ranging from 15 to 26 years, was conducted in 2001 to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibody. Serum specimens were tested for HAV antibody by a commercial enzyme immunoassay method. Anti-HAV was detected in 14.0%, 17.5%, and 15.3% of medical cadets, nursing students, and the total cohort, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in seroprevalence between medical cadets and nursing students. Increasing prevalence of HAV correlated with increasing age. Significantly higher seroprevalence was detected in students from provinces outside of Bangkok compared to those who were from Bangkok (18.7% vs. 9.8%). The highest HAV seroprevalence was observed in subjects from the northeastern region of Thailand, suggesting that this region may be associated with greater risk for infection and should be the focus of preventive health strategies.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2007/09// VL - 172 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 988 EP - 996 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This study describes injury rates, injury diagnoses, anatomical locations of injuries, limited duty days, and activities associated with injuries in a sample of Army mechanics. Medical records of 518 male and 43 female Army mechanics were screened for injuries during 1 year at a large U.S. Army installation. Weight, height, age, and ethnicity were also extracted from the medical records. Body mass index was calculated as weight/height². Overall injury rates for men and women were 124 and 156 injuries/100 person-years, respectively, with a rate of 127 injuries/100 person-years for all soldiers combined. Women had higher overuse injury rates while men had higher traumatic injury rates. Limited duty days for men and women were 2,076 and 1,966 days/100 person-years, respectively. The lower back, knee, ankle, foot, and shoulder involved 61% of the injuries. Activities associated with injury included (in order of incidence) physical training, mechanical work, sports, airborne-related activities, road marching, garrison/home activities, and chronic conditions. Among the men, elevated injury risk was associated with higher body weight and higher body mass index. It may be possible to prevent many injuries by implementation of evidenced-based interventions currently available in the literature.

An instrumentation design was used in which a panel of experts completed a content validity index on all skills. Simulation testing was used to determine criterion validity, intrarater, interrater, and test-retest reliability. Findings revealed that needle chest decompression, Combitube insertion, and automatic external defibrillator were the only skills with low validity (content validity index ≤ 0.75). Splinting was recommended as an addition to the skill test. The validity criterion of a modified postcourse Emergency Medical Technician-Basic examination score was significantly related to the Semi-Annual Combat Medic Skills-Validation Test scores (r = 0.409, p = 0.006, two tailed). There was high intra- and inter-rater agreement on performance steps and skills. Higher subject scores were seen on the medical skills than on the trauma skills. When retested, there was significant improvement (t - 3.268, df = 7, p < 0.014, two tailed).

Investigators from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (Silver Spring, Maryland) met with scientists from government and academic institutes and industry to review the current global status of leishmaniasis and to explore the potential role of exoantigens In the detection of Leishmania in the vertebrate host and arthropod vector. Some encouraging data. particularly in the immunodiagnosis of leishmaniasis, were shared. The participants concluded that the meeting provided a unique opportunity for Investigators working on various aspects of the problem to network and to forge productive collaborations that could potentially lead to the development of more-effective tools to counter this persistent and expanding threat. They recommended periodic meetings to assess interval progress, to revise timelines, and to set achievable goals. The meeting also highlighted the importance of Leishmanin infection in the 21st century, with more movement of people from disease-endemic to non-disease-endemic countries. Increased incidence and geographic spread of leishmaniasis emphasize the need for better and more reliable detection methods. Exoantigen-based diagnostic devices hold promise in this direction.

Quantitative data are reported for aerosols produced by kinetic energy penetrators containing tungsten, nickel, and cobalt. The following are addressed: (1) concentrations and rates of particle settling inside the vehicle, (2) particle size distribution, (3) inhalable and respirable particulates, (4) distribution of aerosol particles by mass, and (5) particle shapes. The scenario described in this report simulates a rare occurrence. The lessons learned, however, highlight a requirement for developing protocols for analyses of metals in body fluids and urine as soon as practical, and also for implementing targeted postdeployment medical surveillance programs that monitor both body burden for respired metals and pulmonary function.

The study site presented austere testing conditions. Held-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes spiked with inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and individual and pooled, field-collected, A. aegypti, A. albopictus, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes were used for RT-PCR assay evaluations. For dengue virus-inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and spiked samples, in vitro sensitivity and specificity results for all five assays were concordant with indirect fluorescent antibody assay results. A single pool of field-collected, female, A. aegypti mosquitoes was identified as dengue virus positive. Cross-reactivity was not observed across heterologous serotypes, mosquito vectors, or human DNA. The limit of detection was >7 to ≤70 genomic equivalents. Sample processing and analysis required <2 hours. These results show promise of field-formatted RT-PCR reagents fur rapid, sensitive, specific dengue virus screening and serotype identification in mosquitoes under field-deployed conditions.

This study determined the efficacy of three hypothermia prevention strategies: the ChillBuster warming blanket, ChillBuster with a reflective blanket, and two wool blankets. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare changes in core temperature. Following resuscitation from hypovolemic shock, 20 swine were assigned to one of the three interventions, placed in an environmental chamber set to reproduce in-flight conditions onboard a military cargo aircraft (50°F/airspeed 0.2 m/s), and monitored for 6 hours. A repeated measures analysis of variance and least-squared difference post hoc were performed. The ChillBuster/reflective blanket group was significantly warmer than the ChillBuster only group and the wool blanket group (p < 0.01). After 6 hours of cold exposure, the ChillBuster/reflective blanket group remained warm while the ChillBuster only and wool blanket groups developed mild hypothermia. Combined use of a warming blanket and reflective blanket was effective in preventing hypothermia over 6 hours and is feasible in a deployed military environment.

Because RSDL may need to he used to decontaminate wounded personnel, we conducted an assessment of the effect of this agent on wound healing. A skin incision model using male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 19 rats/group) was used. A 7.0-cm incision was made through the skin, and RSDL was (experimental group) or was not (control group) applied to the open wound; the wound edges were then approximated with sutures. Seven days later, animals were euthanized and wound samples were taken. Healing was assessed by measuring mechanical strength, collagen content, and histological appearance. RSDL-treated wounds had 23% lower tensile strength (p < 0.05) and 11% lower collagen content (p < 0.05) than did the untreated control wounds. Histological assessments did not differ significantly between groups. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the application of RSDL directly to an open wound impairs wound strength and decreases collagen content in the early phases of wound healing. This may have clinical implications for the treatment and outcomes of chemical casualty combat trauma.

Secondary data collected for 24 U.S.-based Army hospitals and medical centers for the years 2001 to 2003 are the basis for this analysis. Technical efficiency was measured by using data envelopment analysis; subsequently, efficiency estimates were included in logarithmic-linear cost models that specified cost as a function of volume, complexity, efficiency, time, and facility type. These logarithmic-linear models were compared against stochastic frontier analysis models. A parsimonious, three-variable, logarithmic-linear model composed of volume, complexity, and efficiency variables exhibited a strong linear relationship with observed costs (R² = 0.98). This model also proved reliable in forecasting (R² = 0.96). Based on our analysis, as much as $120 million might be reallocated to improve the United States-based Army hospital performance evaluated in this study.

The Department of Defense Dental Classification System is intended to identify military personnel at the greatest risk for dental emergencies, allowing military dental assets to prioritize dental treatment. Only two studies have been published on the emergency rates of U.S. Army Soldiers since 2000, both detailing emergency rates for Soldiers deployed to Bosnia. The Stabilization Force VII study identified that Soldiers experienced dental emergencies at a rate of 156 per 1,000 per year, whereas the Stabilization Force VIII study found the rate of 170 per 1,000 per year. No studies have been conducted for the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom due to difficulty in capturing all dental treatment encounters. Researchers should attempt to standardize the nomenclature and definitions to aid in the comparability of future dental emergency rate studies.

PCs are used by the U.S. military to estimate field medical resources needed in combat operations. Information associated with each of the 389 PCs is based on subject matter expert opinion, instead of direct derivation from standard medical codes. Currently, no mechanisms exist to tie current or historical medical data to PCs. Our study objective was to determine whether reliable conversion between PC codes and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes is possible. Methods: Data were analyzed for three professional coders assigning all applicable ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to each PC code. Inter-rater reliability was measured by using Cohen's κ statistic and percent agreement. Methods were developed to calculate κ statistics when multiple responses could be selected from many possible categories. Results: Overall, we found moderate support for the possibility of reliable conversion between PCs and ICD-9-CM diagnoses (mean κ = 0.61). Conclusion: Current PCs should be modified into a system that is verifiable with real data.

The advance of these programs is challenged by the reality that few empirical data are available for the tens of thousands of commercial substances that require evaluation. Therefore, most preliminary assessments rely on model predictions and data extrapolation. In November 2005, a workshop was held for experts from governments, industry, and academia to examine the availability and quality of in vivo fish bioconcentration and bioaccumulation data, and to propose steps to improve its prediction. The workshop focused on fish data because regulatory assessments predominantly focus on the bioconcentration of substances from water into fish, as measured using in vivo tests or predicted using computer models. In this article we review of the quantity, features, and public availability of bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biota--sediment accumulation data. The workshop revealed that there is significant overlap in the data contained within the various fish bioaccumulation data sources reviewed, and further, that no database contained all of the available fish bioaccumulation data. We believe that a majority of the available bioaccumulation data have been used in the development and testing of quantitative structure--activity relationships and computer models currently in use. Workshop recommendations included the publication of guidance on bioconcentration study quality, the combination of data from various sources to permit better access for modelers and assessors, and the review of chemical domains of existing models to identify areas for expansion.

To establish developmental toxicity criteria for TG, an oral developmental toxicity study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Neat thiodiglycol (99.9 %) was administered orally to mated female rats from gestation days (GDs) 5 through 19. The day of positive mating was considered day 0. A pilot study was conducted with TG at dose levels 250, 500, 1000, 2000, or 5000 mg/kg to select suitable doses for the main study. In the main study, three groups of rats (25/group) received TG by gavage at dose levels of 430, 1290, or 3870 mg/kg/day. A fourth group served as a sham control. On day 20 of gestation, all females were euthanized and a cesarean section performed. Litters were examined for soft tissue and skeletal alterations. Maternal toxicity was limited to dams receiving TG at 3870 mg/kg/day. At this dose, body weights and food consumption were reduced during certain periods of gestation. Fetuses derived from those dams exhibited a nonstatistically significant increased incidence of variations when compared to controls. Fetal body weights in the 3870 mg/kg/day group were significantly lower than controls. There was no increased incidence of anomalies when thiodiglycol-treated fetuses were compared to controls. It was concluded that TG did not produce terata. Developmental toxicity (decreased fetal weights and associated delays in development) occurred only at the maternally toxic dose of 3870 mg/kg. It appears that 1290 mg/kg/day could be considered no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for oral developmental toxicity. The lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) was 3870 mg/kg for maternal toxicity.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2007/08// VL - 19 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 789 EP - 810 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - A workshop was held February 14, 2007, in Arlington, VA, under the auspices of the Phosgene Panel of the American Chemistry Council. The objective of this workshop was to convene inhalation toxicologists and medical experts from academia, industry and regulatory authorities to critically discuss past and recent inhalation studies of phosgene in controlled animal models. This included presentations addressing the benefits and limitations of rodent (mice, rats) and nonrodent (dogs) species to study concentration × time (C × t) relationships of acute and chronic types of pulmonary changes. Toxicological endpoints focused on the primary pulmonary effects associated with the acute inhalation exposure to phosgene gas and responses secondary to injury. A consensus was reached that the phosgene-induced increased pulmonary extravasation of fluid and protein can suitably be probed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) techniques. BAL fluid analyses rank among the most sensitive methods to detect phosgene-induced noncardiogenic, pulmonary high-permeability edema following acute inhalation exposure. Maximum protein concentrations in BAL fluid occurred within 1 day after exposure, typically followed by a latency period up to about 15 h, which is reciprocal to the C × t exposure relationship. The C × t relationship was constant over a wide range of concentrations and single exposure durations. Following intermittent, repeated exposures of fixed duration, increased tolerance to recurrent exposures occurred. For such exposure regimens, chronic effects appear to be clearly dependent on the concentration rather than the cumulative concentration × time relationship. The threshold C × t product based on an increased BAL fluid protein following single exposure was essentially identical to the respective C × t product following subchronic exposure of rats based on increased pulmonary collagen and influx of inflammatory cells. Thus, the chronic outcome appears to be contingent upon the acute pulmonary threshold dose. Exposure concentrations high enough to elicit an increased acute extravasation of plasma constituents into the alveolus may also be associated with surfactant dysfunction, intra-alveolar accumulation of fibrin and collagen, and increased recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells. Although the exact mechanisms of toxicity have not yet been completely elucidated, consensus was reached that the acute pulmonary toxicity of phosgene gas is consistent with a simple, irritant mode of action at the site of its initial deposition/retention. The acute concentration × time mortality relationship of phosgene gas in rats is extremely steep, which is typical for a local, directly acting pulmonary irritant gas. Due to the high lipophilicity of phosgene gas, it efficiently penetrates the lower respiratory tract. Indeed, more recent published evidence from animals or humans has not revealed appreciable irritant responses in central and upper airways, unless exposure was to almost lethal concentrations. The comparison of acute inhalation studies in rats and dogs with focus on changes in BAL fluid constituents demonstrates that dogs are approximately three to four times less susceptible to phosgene than rats under methodologically similar conditions. There are data to suggest that the dog may be useful particularly for the study of mechanisms associated with the acute extravasation of plasma constituents because of its size and general morphology and physiology of the lung as well as its oronasal breathing patterns. However, the study of the long-term sequelae of acute effects is experimentally markedly more demanding in dogs as compared to rats, precluding the dog model to be applied on a routine base. The striking similarity of threshold concentrations from single exposure (increased protein in BAL fluid) and repeated-exposure 3-mo inhalation studies (increased pulmonary collagen...

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2007/06// VL - 19 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 667 EP - 681 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - To improve toxicity estimates from sublethal exposures to chemical warfare nerve agents (CWNA), it is necessary to generate mathematical models of the absorption, distribution, and elimination of nerve agents. However, current models are based on representative data sets generated with different routes of exposure and in different species and are designed to interpolate between limited laboratory data sets to predict a wide range of possible human exposure scenarios. This study was performed to integrate CWNA sublethal toxicity data in male Duncan Hartley guinea pigs. Specific goal was to compare uptake and clearance kinetics of different sublethal doses of sarin (either 0.1 × or 0.4 × LC50) in blood and tissues of guinea pigs exposed to agent by acute whole-body inhalation exposure after the 60-min LC50 was determined. Arterial catheterization allowed repeated blood sampling from the same animal at various time periods. Blood and tissue levels of acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and regenerated sarin (rGB) were determined at various time points during and following sarin exposure. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the graph of plasma or RBC rGB concentration versus time: time to reach the maximal concentration; maximal concentration; mean residence time; clearance; volume of distribution at steady state; terminal elimination-phase rate constant; and area under plasma concentration time curve extrapolated to infinity using the WinNonlin analysis program 5.0. Plasma and RBC t1/2 for rGB was also calculated. Data will be used to develop mathematical model of absorption and distribution of sublethal sarin doses into susceptible tissues.

Estimated exposure dosages producing lethal (LCT50) effects in 50% of exposed male and female rats were established for 10, 60, and 240 min exposure durations. A potency comparison with GB and GF shows that VX becomes increasingly more potent than these G agents with increasing exposure duration. VX is approximately 4–30 times more potent than GB and 5–15 times more potent than GF. Gender differences in the estimated median dosages were not significant at the 10, 60, and 240 min exposure durations. An empirical toxic load model was developed and the toxic load exponent for lethality (n) in the equation Cn× T = k was determined to be n = 0.92. The VX–G regeneration assay was successfully used as a biomarker for the presence of VX in the blood plasma and RBC fractions of the blood 24 h postexposure.

A syringe drive/spray atomization system produced vapor concentrations at a range of 1–50 mg/m3. A saturator cell was used to generate vapor at sub-lethal concentrations ranging from 1 mg/m3 down to low levels approaching the threshold limit value time-weighted average (TLV-TWA) of 0.0001 mg/m3 for GB. Both generation techniques demonstrated the ability to produce stable vapor concentrations over extended exposure periods. This capability was important to determine sublethal nerve agent effects, such as miosis, for inhalation toxicology studies. In addition, the techniques employed for producing and maintaining low-level agent vapor would lay the foundation for testing less volatile chemical warfare agents such as VX.

In addition, several of the drugs used as pharmacological countermeasures to reverse the potentially life-threatening physiological effects of nerve agents themselves have potent effects on a variety of neurobehavioral functions. This article reviews the toxicological and neurobehavioral effects of exposure to nerve agents and their medical treatment compounds, giving particular emphasis to their impacts on performance and behavior, both immediate and long-term. As such, this review touches on a number of major related topics, primarily pharmacological and toxicological. Where possible, more in-depth discussions of these topics have been cited for the interested reader. The toxicology and pharmacology of the nerve agents and the respective medical treatment drugs are addressed separately, representing distinctly different pharmacological classes of compounds and producing distinctly different effects on the central nervous system and performance. Both animal and human data have been evaluated for this review. Although animal data provide a valuable adjunct to the human reports, the majority of studies cited here describe the effects of these compounds in humans. Where it was thought necessary for clarification or elaboration, animal studies have been cited, but these represent only a small subset of this vast literature.

The performance of parafoils (lift and drag) and round parachutes (drag) is closely related to their 3-D geometry. There have been some studies on the geometry of round parachutes, but hardly any on parafoils. The technology of 3-D whole body scanning provides a viable tool to investigate the 3-D geometry of parachutes. In this paper, we present an investigation on the 3-D geometry, surface area and volume of small-scale models of parafoil, round parachute, ring-slot parachute, and cross parachute using a 3-D laser scanning apparatus. Scan data from these model parachutes were obtained in a climatic chamber with a steady air velocity. Surface areas and volumes of these parachutes were calculated from the scan data using specially developed mathematical methods. In addition, cross sections of the parachute canopies were obtained from the scan images. These cross sections provide valuable information on the relationship between model parachutes and full-scale parachutes, fabric properties on canopy geometry, and parachute canopy design and manufacturing.

AB - Questions remain regarding the effects of military operational deployment on health. The Neurocognition Deployment Health Study addresses several gaps in the deployment health literature, including lack of baseline health data, reliance on subjective measures of exposure and health variables, prolonged intervals between redeployment and health assessments, and lack of a uniform case definition. The Neurocognition Deployment Health Study uses a prospective cohort design to assess neuropsychological outcomes associated with Iraq deployment. Methods incorporate administration of performance-based neuropsychological measures to Army soldiers before and after Iraq deployment and to nondeployed Army Soldiers assessed during comparable periods of garrison duty. Findings should have the potential to delineate neuropsychological outcomes related to combat theater deployment and to identify potential risk and protective factors related to health outcomes.

AB - Military hardiness, the context-specific adaptation of psychological hardiness, is explored as it relates to military occupational stressors. It was hypothesized that military hardiness would moderate the effects of deployment stressors on soldier health. In a survey study of 629 U.S. soldiers, deployment stressors, military hardiness, and psychological and physical health were assessed during a peacekeeping deployment. Health was measured again after deployment. Results of moderated regression analyses partially supported the hypotheses; military hardiness moderated the impact of deployment stressors on depression after deployment, after controlling for depression during deployment. Implications for training military hardiness and applications to other occupational settings are discussed.

A multitude of arthroscopic techniques have been developed in an attempt to manage the unstable glenohumeral joint while decreasing surgical morbidity. The results obtained with arthroscopic stabilization have been widely variable. This review will examine the current status of arthroscopic management of glenohumeral instability. The techniques and results of arthroscopic stabilization for primary anterior glenohumeral instability, recurrent anterior instability, and multidirectional instability will be discussed. A brief discussion on thermal capsulorrhaphy is included.

In addition to logistical constraints that limit the volume of isotonic crystalloid fluids available to resuscitate the injured soldier, hypotension, environmental and tactical conditions, and/or the presence of mass casualties can combine to lead to excessive delays in obtaining vascular access. For many years, intraosseous infusion has been a rapid, reliable method of achieving vascular access under emergency conditions in children. Although intraosseous infusion in adults was used extensively in the 1930s and 1940s, and a sternal puncture kit for bone marrow infusions was a common component of emergency medical supplies during World War II, only recently have there been discussions and experimental studies to evaluate intraosseous infusions in adult medical emergencies. With some medical elements of the U.S. military having recently been reissued intraosseous devices, we thought it timely to review the literature on this technique. This review discusses the efficacy and safety of intraosseous infusions of drugs and fluids, including insertion times and flow rates achieved. Although the intent is to evaluate the feasibility of the technique in the injured soldier, literature citations from studies in children, experimental animals, and human cadavers are included to support the statements made and to offer the reader the opportunity to read the original literature.

Exercise training can induce BV expansion: PV expansion usually occurs immediately, but EV expansion takes weeks. EV and PV expansion contribute to aerobic power improvements associated with exercise training. Repeated heat exposure induces PV expansion but does not alter EV. PV expansion does not improve thermoregulation, but EV expansion improves thermoregulation during exercise in the heat. Dehydration decreases PV (and increases plasma tonicity) which elevates heat strain and reduces exercise performance. High altitude exposure causes rapid (hours) plasma loss. During initial weeks at altitude, EV is unaffected, but a gradual expansion occurs with extended acclimatization. BV adjustments contribute, but are not key, to altitude acclimatization. Microgravity decreases PV and EV which contribute to orthostatic intolerance and decreased exercise capacity in astronauts. PV decreases may result from lower set points for total body water and central venous pressure, while EV decreases may result from increased erythrocyte destruction. Trauma, renal disease, and chronic diseases cause anemia from hemorrhage and immune activation which suppresses erythropoiesis. The re-establishment of EV is associated with healing, improved life quality, and exercise capabilities for these injured/sick persons.

AB - Compared with data from civilian institutions, data from two graduating classes at the United States Military Academy showed extraordinary stability of independently calculated grade point averages (GPAs) from freshman to senior years and no decline in the validity of Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SATs) and high school class rank (HSR) as predictors of these GPAs over the 4 years. These results are interpreted as support for the view that the individual differences assessed by SATs and HSR change very little over 4 years of college. Despite the extraordinary stability of GPA, the validity coefficients achieved were no better than those typically found in civilian institutions. The larger than usual gap between reliability and predictability of GPA is evidence against the contention that unreliability of the GPA criterion stands in the way of improving GPA predictability.

AB - Assessed the sourness of 5 acids (citric, hydrochloric, phytic, succinic, and gluconolactone) at 4 concentrations of each acid and in 16 mixtures with citric acid, using the method of magnitude estimation. Ss were 10 18-24 yr old US Army enlisted men. Power functions fit to the sourness of unmixed acids were either added directly to predict mixture sourness, or both acids in the mixture were first converted to equivalent levels of citric acid and then exponentiated according to the appropriate power function. Summation of sourness functions accounted best for mixtures of citric acid with gluconolactone. Summation of acid equivalents was better for mixtures with phytic acid. Both models predicted mixtures with succinic and hydrochloric acids equally well. Mixtures with hydrochloric acid were synergistic. Results are discussed in terms of possible mechanisms underlying taste mixtures.

AB - 2 experiments using the same 48 undergraduate Ss in 1 sitting tested the hypothesis that the temporal redundancy inherent in rhythmically structured sound sequences is used during listening by the perceptual mechanism. Reaction times (RTs) were recorded for Ss who responded to the target phoneme /b/ in running speech. In the main experiment sentences containing the target phoneme as the word initial phoneme in either accented or unaccented syllables were presented to the Ss. In the control experiment the words containing the target phoneme were spliced out of the sentence context and embedded in a string of nonsense words and presented to the same Ss. The RTs to the target phoneme were faster to accented than to unaccented targets in the sentence context, whereas RTs did not differ significantly in the nonsense sequence context. Results indicate that RT cannot be explained by simple differences in articulatory and other characteristics between accented and unaccented targets, and that temporal redundancy is a determining factor in RT to targets in connected speech. Accented targets are temporally predictable whereas unaccented targets are not.

AB - Conducted 2 experiments to distinguish between interpretations of extinction based on stimulus variation and secondary reinforcement. In Exp I, 5 groups of 10 6-7 yr old Ss each were presented with 9 stimuli accompanying a candy reinforcement for each correct solution of a discrimination problem. Extinction groups received either 9, 7, 5, 3, or 1 of the stimuli. Results indicate that number of responses in extinction was a positive function of number of stimuli common to acquisition and extinction. In Exp II, 6 Ss were assigned to each of 5 groups which varied in the number of stimuli common to acquisition and extinction. Results indicate greater resistance to extinction as the number of stimuli used in acquisition and extinction increased. A modified discrimination hypothesis is discussed.

AB - Notes that studies of sweetness additivity reported during the past 50 yrs have suggested 2 potentially different ways by which the taste system adds together different sweet substances in a mixture in order to arrive at a higher level. Type I additivity is characterized by the summation of concentrations in a mixture. The taste system then processes the mixture as if it were a higher concentration of 1 of the 2 components. Type II additivity is characterized by the summation of subjective sweetness of the components. The 2 additivity types were modeled by the addition of simple power functions and by polynomial functions in logarithmic coordinates. The goodness of fit of each model was assessed in 4 experiments with army personnel (N = 96) by evaluation of the sweetness of mixtures of glucose with fructose, sodium cyclamate, sodium saccharin, and saccharin, as well as by reanalysis of previously reported data in the literature. Both models provided good predictability of sweetness but did not differ in their goodness of fit to the empirical results. (17 ref.)

AB - Studied the effects of 3 task-solving strategies on group efficiency and effectiveness by having 60 U.S. Army soldiers work in dyads either under a shared labor strategy or 1 of 2 divided labor strategies. Tasks included a difficult and an easy crossword puzzle. On the average, dividing labor resulted in greater efficiency (amount of work per man hour). Requiring Ss to work together resulted in substantially greater group effectiveness (total performance), but this effect occurred primarily on the easy task. It is suggested that a high degree of member interdependence maximizes redundancy of task-relevant abilities, resulting in generally superior performance effectiveness but frequently at the cost of efficiency.

AB - Determined latencies for same and different judgments by 16 army recruits resulting from comparisons between words and colors with 1 of the pair of stimuli being both a word and a color. The irrelevant aspect of this dual stimulus bore each of 5 possible relationships to the stimuli that were relevant to the match. These 5 conditions plus 2 control conditions produced large differences in latencies for making comparisons. Same responses were generally faster than different responses. Correspondence between the irrelevant stimulus and the combined relevant stimulus facilitated same responses but showed no facilitation of different responses. Findings indicate that basic differences exist between same and different decision processes. In some conditions, irrelevant words delayed matches between words and colors more than irrelevant colors delayed such matches. This suggests that central comparisons between the pair of stimuli were in a form more closely related to words than to colors.

AB - Studied the effects of interaction or relationship in terms of an outcome measure. Ss were 15 undergraduates selected from a group of 90 who took the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale. 2 therapists interviewed Ss who were asked to discuss a "real personal problem with a professional person." All Ss were administered a measure of problem seriousness, the Problem Pathological Potential Scale, immediately before and after the treatment interview. Data analyses showed that therapy by dogmatism interaction proved to be a significant one with high dogmatic Ss showing the greatest positive change with a leading interviewer, and a negative change with a following interviewer. The assumption that therapist leadership and the client's typical ways of relating to authority are crucial components of the therapeutic relationship is supported. (15 ref.)

AB - Studied the status positions of both source and target in a conflict situation in which the source uses threats as a means of coercing the target's compliance. The Prisoner's Dilemma game was modified to permit sending an occasional threat from a simulated source to target Ss. 120 ROTC cadets of varying ranks (status) assumed the position of targets and allegedly played other cadets. 4 source-target conditions were used: low-high, high-low, low-low, and high-high. The source's threats were 10, 50, or 90% credible and carried either high or low punishment for noncompliance. The major findings of this study were: (a) target Ss, irrespective of own status, complied more often to the threats of a high-status source than to threats issued by a low-status source; (b) as credibility of threats increased, the degree of compliance obtained increased; (c) as punishment magnitude associated with threats increased, compliance increased; (d) high-status Ss exploited the low-status simulated player more often in the game than did Ss in the other 3 status conditions; and (e) the perceived potency of the threatener was directly related to the credibility of his threats.

MWSTs employed were: 85–, 78–, 74–, and 70– F attained either 15 or 90 min. of cooling. The lowering of MWST impaired block stringing (BS) and Purdue Pegboard assembly performance but not knot tying or 2 plate tapping performance. Rate of cooling was an effective variable only at lower MWSTs and only for the BS task. Subjective ratings of discomfort and task interference due to cold stress were obtained and related to task performance. Ss tended to overestimate their performance decrements at lower MWSTs. Results suggest that hand warming may preserve psychomotor dexterity despite moderate decrements in MWST.

AB - Attempted to classically condition the flexor reflex of 3 adult dogs upon whom a complete lower thoracic spinal transection was performed 12-15 mo. prior to the experiment. The CS consisted of a pulsatory pressure to the tail, a demonstrable and quantifiable neutral stimulus. A maximum of 2500 conditioning and 500 test trials yielded no recordable CRs. No CRs were elicited in sessions in which the sensitivity of the flexor reflex was increased by subcutaneous injections of .066 mg/kg of strychnine sulfate. The integrity of supraspinal as well as intraspinal pathways is necessary for classical conditioning of a spinal reflex.

AB - Trained 16 chinchillas on 196 different problems. Each problem began with several habituation trials, on each of which a sound, A, was presented. After the last habituation trial, a single trial was run with a 2nd sound, B, and the Ss were reinforced for responding after this new sound. The Ss developed a tendency to respond after novel sounds, i.e., after the single B and also after the initial A of a new problem. Habituation to A was more complete when a sound was given once every 15 sec. than when a couplet of sounds was given every 30 sec., and more complete when the B came late in the problem than when it came early.

AB - Hypothesized that recognition thresholds are related to autonomic activity in a curvilinear manner. Accordingly lowest thresholds are associated with moderate sympathetic nervous system excitation, while higher thresholds are linked with either low or high extremes of sympathetic activity. Tachistoscopic recognition thresholds for 4-digit numbers were determined for 24 adult male Ss during counterbalanced minimal, moderate, and high states of sympathetic excitation. Recognition thresholds were higher during the high levels of autonomic activity than during the minimal or moderate autonomic arousal conditions. When allowance was made for the fact that no truly low arousal state was achieved, the data were explicable in terms of the predicted curvilinear relationship.

AB - To assess relevance of the information hypothesis to conditioned suppression, a compound CS (S1 overlapping S2) was paired with shock for 2 groups of rats and suppression bar-press rates produced by S1 and S2 individually was measured. During CS-UCS pairings S1 occasionally occurred alone for 1 group and thus predicted shock unreliably; for the other group, S1 predicted shock reliably, making S2 redundant. Contrary to the information hypothesis, both redundant and unreliable stimuli produced as much suppression as their more informative counterparts. A pseudoconditioning control group did not suppress to either stimulus, and 2 differentially conditioned groups showed that Ss could discriminate between S1 and S2 by suppressing only to the stimulus paired with shock.

AB - A total of 33 students and technicians scaled the odor intensity and the odor pleasantness (or unpleasantness) of n-butyl alcohol (butanol) diluted by air in vapor phase. Results were fitted by power functions when the estimates were obtained from ratio scaling procedures. The results of category scaling, from the same Ss, were fitted by logarithmic functions. Although pleasantness and intensity appeared to grow approximately equally rapidly (but in opposite directions) with concentration, the inverse relation held only for the group data, not for the individual functions. The pleasantness functions were also subject to severe curvature, in contrast to the intensity functions. A level of 300-ppm butanol appears to be hedonically neutral to Ss, being judged neither pleasant nor unpleasant according to the functions obtained from the average estimates.

AB - Studied immediate and 2-wk retention as a function of 3 levels of text readability and 2 levels of inserted postquestion difficulty. 28 undergraduates served as Ss. The inserted postquestion treatment was modified to permit review of text after question answering. A traditional control group was required to read without marking lesson pages; a 2nd control group was permitted complete freedom. Both inserted postquestion treatments produced significantly inferior acquisition of content incidental to the inserted postquestions for 2 lessons having below-average readability. For an average readability lesson, only the difficult inserted postquestions produced lower acquisition. Treatment differences diminished to nonsignificant levels on 2-wk retention. Learning was correlated with anxiety (Alpert-Haber Achievement Anxiety Test) and self-confidence in the 2 lower-than-average readability lessons but not in the average one.

AB - Examined multiple behaviors in 12 adult female chinchillas. Basal respiration and struggle activity during conditions of physical restraint, and head-shake responses (HSRs) elicited by a stream of air directed in the ear, all exhibited within-session decrement which recovered only partially within 24 hr. Complete recovery of the habituated HSR and basal respiration required more than 4 days. Potentiation of habituation occurred for struggle activity only. Neither transfer of habituation nor dishabituation, examined with the HSR only, was obtained. Differential sensitivity to concurrent stimulation was found between the various response systems. In addition, rates of habituation among response systems were uncorrelated. The combined results support a multiprocess interpretation of habituatory response decrement.

Ss were 12 right-handed 17-22 yr old males. The procedure was found to be effective; incongruent names delayed color-naming, and congruent combinations of words and colors produced a facilitation of color-naming relative to a control condition in which Xs were presented opposite the color. Results demonstrate that this bilateral presentation procedure makes it possible to study interference to dimension-naming for dimensions that cannot be integrally combined with words, and also has potential for study of parallel processing, selective attention, and functional differences between the hemispheres.

The conceptual background includes (a) a taxonomy of jobs having cognitive variance (responses objectively characterized as right or wrong) and noncognitive variance (responses less objectively characterized as desirable or undesirable), (b) the ad hoc nature of values and goals, and (c) the variety of styles of behavior by which individuals and organizations seek to achieve and do achieve goals. To the extent that such variance enters into criterion determination, the criterion for many applied purposes, including systems development, should be explicitly specific by source of variance. The research framework in which this requirement can be met is the systems measurement bed.

After 1 hr. of exposure, the flicker-fusion threshold (FFT) was determined using both the method of constant stimuli and the forced-choice procedure, with stimulus conditions of 35 and 95% of light to cycle (PL) at both 30' and 2– visual angle (VA). An increase in FFT frequency during cold exposure found for 1 stimulus condition was interpreted in terms of subjective criterion effects. Sensory sensitivity effects were inferred from the significant increases in frequency at FFT during heat exposure for the 35-PL, 30' VA condition across the 2 psychophysical procedures. Sensory sensitivity effects of heat exposure on FFT are discussed in terms of a 2-component retinal response to brightness changes of an intermittent light at FFT.

AB - Tested vigilance performance by 20 young male military Ss on a 2-hr brightness discrimination task under 4 levels of hypoxia: 21% oxygen (sea level), 12.8% oxygen (13,000 ft.), 11.8% oxygen (15,000 ft.), and 10.9% oxygen (17,000 ft.). Results indicate a significant decrement in signal detection as a function of severity of hypoxia and task duration. Analyses of d' and BETA show a significant decrease in detectability of the signal as a function of hypoxia, but no change in caution of decision making. Individual variation in performance was related to field dependence as measured by the Embedded Figure Test (EFT). EFT score correlated negatively with false detection rate, and positively with RT and d', indicating a negative relationship between field dependence and vigilance performance.

AB - 2-point thresholds were determined on 10 Ss at 5 locations: ventral surface of the forehead, and ventral and dorsal surfaces of 4th and 10th trunk dermatomes. At each location, thresholds were determined at 3 positions: 1 across the midline and 1 on an area closely adjacent to each side of the midline. The midline threshold was significantly smaller than either lateral threshold at all locations except on ventral surface of 10th dermatome, where only right-midline comparison was significant. Results were interpreted as suggesting, but not clearly establishing, that increased discriminability of points separated by a midline was due to separation of central projection areas introduced.

AB - Comments on an article by T. L. Holbrook et al. (see record [rid]2010-00923-002[/rid]). As medical providers currently deployed in Iraq, we read the article by Holbrook et al. with great interest. If confirmed, the association of morphine use with reductions in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) would provide another important indication for the administration of morphine to battlefield casualties. We note that the investigators analyzed morphine use in level 1 or 2 facilities and that the morphine was administered intravenously in 98% of recipients. First, clinicians would benefit from knowing whether morphine was associated with adverse outcomes among patients treated at the facilities studied. Second, it is standard training for Navy corpsmen and Army medics to administer morphine and oral transmucosal fentanyl to patients before they reach these facilities. In addition, the 'fragments from blast — NOS [not otherwise specified]' mechanism of injury was independently and strongly associated with the absence of PTSD in both models 1 and 2. Although we acknowledge that the numbers of injuries incurred through this mechanism were small, knowledge of the circumstances surrounding these injuries might lead to testable hypotheses for research aimed at elucidating factors associated with PTSD.

Gunther and Robert J. Pleban. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2010-02551-005[/rid]). Researchers posit that adaptability is an important contributor of performance and that it mediates the effects of distal predictors on performance. As limited empirical evidence supports these relationships, the present research examined whether adaptive skill mediated the effects of values on performance for military leaders. We found that adaptive skill was a distinct construct which uniquely contributed to overall performance. Further, we found that adaptive skill fully mediated the effects of values on technical-administrative behaviors and partially mediated the effects of values on contextual performance and leader behaviors. We discuss the need to further test the nomological network of KSAO-adaptability-performance relationships.

The effects of these deployment-related exposures have not previously been documented. Method: In an attempt to initiate this process, medical evaluations performed at military audiology clinics from April 2003 through March 2004 were reviewed to compare noise-induced hearing loss injury (NIHLI) outcomes among soldiers whose diagnoses were classified as postdeployment-related versus non-postdeployment-related. Sentinel NIHLI outcomes of interest included acoustic trauma, permanent threshold shift, eardrum perforation, tinnitus, and military-specific H-3 and H-4 hearing loss profiles. Results: Significantly higher rates of NIHLI and associated outcomes were observed among soldiers whose diagnoses were postdeployment-related. Conclusions: Based on the findings from this evaluation, recommendations are provided for enhancing the force health protection posture for prevention of hearing loss in future deployments.

This study examined sleep patterns of cadets during their first year at the United States Military Academy. Design: This paper presents initial results of a 4-year longitudinal investigation into sleep patterns of college-age men and women. Setting: Data were collected at the United States Military Academy, a 4-year undergraduate institution that develops men and women in 4 areas: intellectual, physical, military, and moral-ethical. Participants: Survey data were obtained from all members of the Class of 2007 (N∼1300), who ranged in age from 17 to 22 years. A stratified sample (n = 80) was selected to wear wrist-activity monitors. An additional 40 members of the junior and senior classes participated in the summer portion of the study. Measurements and Results: Sleep patterns prior to entering the United States Military Academy were compared with patterns during cadet basic training and fall and spring semesters. Actigraphy data were recorded on a sample of the class (n = 80) for 50 days during cadet basic training and 30 days during fall and spring semesters. During cadet basic training, incoming cadets received 5 hours 40 minutes of sleep per night. During fall 2003 semester, these same cadets received 4 hours 50 minutes of sleep on school nights and 6 hours 32 minutes on weekends. Sleep received during spring 2004 semester was similar, with 5 hours 06 minutes on school nights and 6 hours 29 minutes on weekends. Conclusions: This first year of baseline data collection describes cadet sleep patterns and sets the stage to assess the effectiveness of follow-on interventions.

AB - Today's health care organizations must deal with managed care, government oversight, aging baby boomers, new technologies, and increasing pharmaceutical prices. It is imperative that health care organizations adopt some form of business strategy to manage the vast amount of information available. Two of the more popular strategies among health care organizations are the Balanced Scorecard and Total Quality Management. Which one of the strategies is best for an organization? The answer to this question is that it depends on the organization. This article provides the fundamentals of each strategy and contrasts their strengths and weaknesses, so that interested organizations can make informed decisions regarding the best strategy for each organization.

Issue Publication Date: Aug, 2005. AB - Presynaptic inhibition (PI) of Ia afferents was examined as a possible contributor to the depression of the soleus H-reflex following carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibition with Acetazolamide (ACZ). Ten males (aged 22-32) were studied in two randomized conditions, control and ACZ administration (250 mg 14, 8, and 2 h before testing) separated by at least one week. PI of soleus la afferents was indirectly assessed two ways: a conditioning stimulus of la afferents in the common peroneal nerve (N = 6), and heteronymous la facilitation from the quadriceps to soleus muscle (N = 4). Conditioning (C) of the soleus H-reflex (common peroneal nerve stimulation protocol) resulted in depression of the Hreflex in the supine and standing position compared to the test (T, unconditioned) H-reflex in the same position. This result was unaltered following ACZ treatment. C (heteronymous facilitation protocol) resulted in facilitation of the H-reflex in the supine, but not the standing position. This result was unaltered following ACZ treatment. It was concluded that the depression of the H-reflex following CA inhibition (present study; Brechue et al., 1997) appears to be unrelated to changes in the tonic level of PI of la afferents. The best hypothesis for the reduction in the H-reflex appears to be conduction block of the primary afferent fibers secondary to local increases in PCO₂.

The current author suggests that the advantages and disadvantages of choice-based or indirect methods of scaling versus direct methods have been argued passionately for over a century. Moskowitz's argument that 'no substantive scientific laws or at least generalities appear to have emerged from paired comparison studies' is seen as controversial at best.

AB - Background: High-frequency EEG (HFE) as a potential predictor of alertness/drowsiness was first proposed by Kaplan and Loparo. Sampling EEG at 950 Hz, they established an HFE bandwidth of interest ranging from 100-475 Hz. We extend their work by applying discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of HFE signals sampled at 1000 Hz and partitioned into spectral bands along specific frequency ranges for the assessment of sleep-wake state transition, sleep, and active cognitive engagement. Methods: There were 13 volunteers (6 men, 7 women, 30 ± 3 yr) who participated in a 40-h sleep-deprivation study, during which time they performed multiple cognitive tasks. EEG, in synchrony with other physiological signals, was collected at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz. EEG and task performance results from two volunteers are discussed in this preliminary analysis of the C3-C4 region data. Spectral components obtained from DFT are delineated into five main frequency bands: low, (LFB, 1-15 Hz); intermediate (IFB, 16-50 Hz); and 3 high frequency bands: HFB1 (51-100 Hz); HFB2 (101-200 Hz); and HFB3 (201-500 Hz) for analysis purposes. Results: LFB in the 1-15 Hz range at 0.40 spectrum proportion indicated declining alertness; LFB above 0.50 signals transition to sleep; and LFB at 0.70 indicates Stage 2/3 sleep. HFB3 in the 201-500 Hz range at 0.25 and above was a marker of cognitive function and/or capacity. Conclusions: HFE may provide a quantitative measure of cognitive function capacity. LFB may provide a measure for awake, asleep, or awake-sleep transition, and HFB3 an estimate of cognitive task engagement. HFE may be applied for electroencephalographic monitoring of cognitive performance.

AB - Introduction: Visual perception task, complex motor flight task, and psychomotor vigilance task performances were evaluated in U.S. Air Force pilots navigating a high-fidelity fixed wing jet simulator over 26.5 h of continuous wakefulness. Methods: Eight military pilots on flight status performed the primary task of flying a simulated 12.5-h overnight mission in an Air Refueling Part Task Trainer (ARPTT): Response omission to presentation of single- and double-light stimuli displayed in random sequence across the cockpit instrument panel was the metric used to assess choice visual perception task (CVPT) performance. Deviation from an established azimuth heading in the ARPTT during the CVPT was the flight metric used to assess complex motor performance. Speed, lapse, false start, and anticipation were the metrics used to assess psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) performance during crew rest periods. Results: Significant visual perceptual, complex motor, and psychomotor vigilance (speed and lapse) impairments occurred at 19 h awake in the eight-subject group. CVPT response omissions significantly correlated with ARPTT azimuth deviations at r = 0.97, and with PVT speed at r = -0.92 and lapses at r = 0.90. ARPTT azimuth deviations significantly correlated with PVT speed at r = -0.92 and lapses at r = 0.91. Conclusions: Acute sleep deprivation degrades visual perceptual, complex motor, and simple motor performance. Complex motor impairments strongly correlate with visual perceptual impairments. This research provides support for the use of visual perceptual measures as surrogates of complex motor performance in operational situations where the primary cognitive inputs are through the visual system.

AB - Introduction: AH-64 Apache helicopter pilots fly the aircraft using a monocular helmet-mounted display that provides imagery from two separate forward-looking infrared sensors mounted on the nose of the aircraft. Studies have documented complaints of fatigue, headaches, and visual problems associated with the use of this sighting system. The goals of this study were: 1) to quantify possible flight-induced fatigue in Apache aviators; and 2) to evaluate minimally intrusive neurophysiologic measures of fatigue for potential use in operational environments. Methods: Using a pre/post design, we assessed self-reported levels of alertness, physical, cognitive, and visual fatigue, and ocular indices of fatigue obtained using an instrument specifically designed to capture various eye responses. Data were contributed to this study by 53 aviators. Results: Significant differences in all pre- and postflight ocular responses were observed. Pupil size and constriction latency increased while constriction amplitude and saccadic velocity decreased. Significant pre- and postflight differences were also seen on all self-report measures. Pilots reported being less alert and more fatigued following flight. Conclusions: We found that flight in an AH-64 Apache was a significant factor in producing changes in ocular and self-report measures similar to those produced by sleep loss.

Methods: Subjects performed a running memory task for a 60-min period. To evaluate changes in the relationship of blinks to saccades as a function of time on task, the ratio of blinks occurring with and without saccade was calculated for the second following stimulus termination plus the last 0.2 s of stimulus presentation, and also the second preceding stimulus onset plus the initial 0.2 s of stimulus presentation. Changes in pupil diameter following blinks with and without saccades were measured at the beginning, middle, and late in the experiment. Results: Blink frequency increased during both periods as a function of time on task (p < 0.0001). The ratio of blinks concurrent with saccades during the post-stimulus period increased as a function of time on task (p < 0.0001). Pupil diameter increased following blink termination (p < 0.05), regardless of time on task, blink duration, or the presence of a saccade during the blink. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the increase in blinking associated with saccades as a function of time on task, and the pupillary dilation following a blink are associated with aspects of information processing. These results provide a framework for future studies assessing higher-order cognitive function in operational environments based on measurements of blink, pupil, and saccades.

AB - The application of miniature motion sensors (accelerometers) to study the macro- (gross) and micro- (barely discernible) activities associated with human motion has been termed actigraphy. In countless human sleep studies, actigraphy has mostly been applied to distinguish between when a person is asleep or awake. Use of sleep/wake information has been applied to the development of mathematical models that aim to predict aspects of cognitive performance. However, wrist-mounted actigraphy potentially has many more applications to cognitive and physical assessment beyond sleep/wake discrimination. For example, studies reveal that micro-miniature accelerometric sensors can discriminate heart rate, breathing, and life cessation (death) via actigraphically measured biovibration signals. This paper briefly reviews the development of wrist-mounted actigraphy; presents the data showing wrist-monitored ballistocardioimpulses, respirations, and life-signs signals; discusses the application of sophisticated signal processing for new clinical, operational, and cognitive-assessment-related applications; and concludes with recommendations for further research for demodulating the complex actigram signal.

Real-time monitoring of individuals for cognitive performance capacity via an approach based on sampling multiple neurophysiologic signals and integrating those signals with performance prediction models potentially provides a method of supporting warfighters' and commanders' decision making and other operationally relevant mental processes and is consistent with the goals of augmented cognition. Cognitive neurophysiological assessments that directly measure brain function and subsequent cognition include positron emission tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, mass spectroscopy, near-infrared spectroscopy, magnetoencephalography, and electroencephalography (EEG); however, most direct measures are not practical to use in operational environments. More practical, albeit indirect measures that are generated by, but removed from the actual neural sources, are movement activity, oculometrics, heart rate, and voice stress signals. The goal of the papers in this section is to describe advances in selected direct and indirect cognitive neurophysiologic monitoring techniques as applied for the ultimate purpose of preventing operational performance failures. These papers present data acquired in a wide variety of environments, including laboratory, simulator, and clinical arenas. The papers discuss cognitive neurophysiologic measures such as digital signal processing wrist-mounted actigraphy; oculometrics including blinks, saccadic eye movements, pupillary movements, the pupil light reflex; and high-frequency EEG. These neurophysiological indices are related to cognitive performance as measured through standard test batteries and simulators with conditions including sleep loss, time on task, and aviation flight-induced fatigue.

AB - Herein we summarize a discussion on the topic of how psychopharmaceuticals for potential military operational use may be evaluated based on their effects on performance and safety, and introduce two manuscripts: the first (Caldwell and Caldwell; 1) addressing the operational use of fatigue countermeasures; and the second (Rowland; 3) discussing the potential operational use and limitations of ketamine as a field analgesic. Fatigue countermeasures are usually employed by a relatively small number of military members engaged in sustained or continuous operations when sleep is not an option. Clinical treatments are available at any time as required to treat medical conditions. The issue of importance for the operational community, with regard to both clinical use of psychopharmaceuticals and performance maintenance through fatigue countermeasures, should be whether the medication impairs operationally relevant performance, assuming the disorder for which the medication is prescribed does not in itself prohibit operational duties. Applied research paradigms are generally discussed for assessing and transitioning pharmaceutical compounds from the laboratory to the operational environment. Tier 1 focuses on quantifying the impact of stressors and interventions in healthy members of the general population, while Tier 2 testing would use military or operationally matched volunteers in simulated or actual field environments. The section papers address two areas of operational relevance--the Caldwell and Caldwell paper presents guidelines for the use of fatigue countermeasures, and the Rowland paper discusses the potential effects of ketamine, an agent intended to replace morphine as a battlefield analgesic, on cognition.

AB - Many of the technological advances in the information sciences that make the network-centric battlefield possible will also foster methodologies that enable the study of the warfighter in this environment. Specifically, the tactical events and computer networks in a battle laboratory can be designed with capabilities to facilitate capture and analysis of embedded operational performance metrics. This paper refers to the Air Maneuver Battle Laboratory environment, its command and control components, its synthetic battle environment, and its basic communications structure as an example. This paper also introduces two papers. In the first paper, O'Donnell, Moise, and Schmidt describe their generalized methodology to evaluate personnel during performance of operational tasks. They discuss a cognitive taxonomy, test generator, and synthetic cognitive and motor tests with applicability to military or civilian tasks. Personnel are evaluated with these synthetic tests for those very cognitive skills and capabilities most required to successfully perform the actual operational task of interest. Perhaps the illustrative and innovative measurement methodologies described will encourage others to consider how new approaches can be used to leverage the study of cognitive performance of the future warfighter in a network-centric environment. The second paper by Whitmore discusses how communications and embedded operational performance metrics may be acquired in teams. Whitmore highlights some critical aspects leading to the successful measurement of team performance in realistic console operations; discusses the idea of process and outcome measures; presents two types of team data collection systems; and provides an example of team performance assessment.

However, war-zone stressors may compromise the psychological resilience of even the most conditioned U.S. service members. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contributing causes for medical evacuation (medevac) during the present war on terrorism. We studied 5,671 cases of medevac reports during Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom (OEF and OIF). Our data indicated that psychiatric problems were among the leading causes of medevacs during this period of time. In fact, during March to September 2003, psychiatric problems accounted for 7% of the medevac cases during OEF and 6% during OIF, ranking among the top five reasons for evacuation from each theater. With the use of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-9), we found that 'Top Level Mental Disorders' and 'Persons without reported diagnosis encountered during examination and investigation of individuals and populations' were the two main psychiatric reasons for the medevacs. Consequently, mental health researchers, operational commanders, and policy makers should continue developing procedures to mitigate psychiatric problems that translate to personnel loss and readiness decrements on the battlefield.

AB - Introduction: Anecdotal reports from military conflicts suggest cognitive performance and mood are severely degraded by the stress of combat. However, little objective information is available to confirm these observations. Methods: Our laboratory had several unique opportunities to study cognitive function in warfighters engaged in exercises designed to simulate the stress of combat. These studies were conducted in different environments with two different types of military volunteers. In one study, subjects were officers, with an average 9 yr of military service, who were members of an elite U.S. Army unit, the Rangers. In the other study, participants were younger, mostly enlisted, trainees with only 3 yr of military experience on average, in training to determine if they would qualify for an elite U.S. Navy unit, the SEALS. We administered a variety of identical, computer-based cognitive tests to both groups. Results: In both groups, during stressful combat-like training, every aspect of cognitive function assessed was severely degraded compared with baseline, pre-stress performance. Relatively simple cognitive functions such as reaction time and vigilance were significantly impaired, as were more complex functions, including memory and logical reasoning. Discussion: The deficits observed were greater than those typically produced by alcohol intoxication, treatment with sedating drugs, or clinical hypoglycemia. Undoubtedly, such decrements would severely degrade operational effectiveness. Furthermore, it is likely such cognitive decrements would be greater during actual combat. War planners, doctrine developers, and warfighters, especially leaders, need to be aware that combat stress will result in extensive and severe deficits in cognitive performance.

AB - Introduction: Oculometrics have been shown to be responsive to acute hypoxemia. We investigated whether oculometrics could be used as an objective index of a hypoxic effect on the central nervous system (CNS) during altitude acclimatization. We hypothesized that oculomotor reflexes [pupil diameter (PD), constriction amplitude (CA), constriction latency (CL), and saccadic velocity (SV)] changed in concert with a select number of accepted acclimatization variables and that these changes correlated with the severity of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Methods: After sea-level, baseline (SLB) measurements were obtained, 18 men (19-33 yr) were transported to Pikes Peak, CO (4300 m), where they remained for 14 d. Periodic measurements (days 1-4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12) were made of PD, CA, CL, and SV in addition to heart rate (HR), pulse oximetry (SpO₂), end-tidal PO₂ and PCO₂, 24-h urinary catecholamine concentrations, and AMS severity (environmental symptoms questionnaire, ESQ). Results: PD and CL decreased from SLB on days 1-4 and subsequently returned toward SLB; these changes paralleled changes in ventilatory and circulatory variables. CA decreased on days 1 and 2 and remained decreased for 12 d. SV increased over days 1-6 then returned toward SLB with continued exposure, similar to changes in urinary catecholamines. With acclimatization, CL correlated with HR and SpO₂; SV correlated with PCO₂, HR, and SpO₂. AMS severity peaked during days 2-4, returned toward SLB over the next 10 d, and correlated only with CL (p = 0.045). Conclusions: Oculometrics can be used as an indicator of CNS hypoxia and altitude acclimatization, although there was no strong correlation with AMS severity.

AB - This study investigates operation efficiency and user satisfaction for spatial and temporal shapes of augmented force-feedback fields to be used with computer pointing devices in target acquisition tasks. In an experiment, three different force-field shapes at two different mean force levels were compared, with an electromechanical force-feedback trackball as control device and with efficiency and user satisfaction as dependent variables. Efficiency was measured by the time required to perform a certain task, and user satisfaction was measured through a subjective rating procedure. Satisfaction results indicate that to a rough approximation, participants can be grouped into those who prefer high and those who prefer low force levels. Members of the former group were most satisfied with force fields with a gradual start and an abrupt ending. This force-field shape also proved to be the most efficient for both groups. When all participants were considered as a single group, none of the effects was found to be statistically significant. A gender effect was also found; in both preference groups women achieved significantly shorter task completion times than men. Actual or potential applications of this research include enabling computer interaction for people prone to repetitive strain injuries and the increment of efficiency and satisfaction in human-computer interaction in general.

A sample of 77 Royal Norwegian Naval Academy and 57 Royal Norwegian Army Academy cadets were administered the Life Orientation Test prior to participating in a field-training exercise involving a series of challenging missions. Following an infantry mission component of the exercise, situation awareness was measured using the Mission Awareness Rating Scale (MARS), a self-assessment tool. The analysis indicated that dispositional optimism correlated negatively with situation awareness under these conditions. The role of intrapersonal variables in mediating situation awareness and decision-making in stressful situations is discussed.

AB - The effectiveness of marriage education was evaluated in two separate samples of primarily married couples in which at least one member of the couple was on active duty in the U.S. Army. The intervention was delivered by Army chaplains. Effects replicated well in the two samples, and demonstrated that marriage education was well received by this population and resulted in improvements in relationship functioning. Changes in relationship quality were examined separately for males and females, and also for couples in which both members of the couple were Caucasian as compared with all other couples. There were no significant differences in changes over time (i.e., from pre- to postmarriage education) among males and females or among couples with different ethnic makeup. These results have important implications for the generalizability of marriage education to diverse samples in nontraditional contexts.

AB - Since the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, the operational tempo for soldiers has steadily increased, whereas the numbers of soldiers available to fulfill these missions has decreased. As a result, soldiers and their families are experiencing increased levels of stress that continue to manifest in ways that can often be destructive for the soldiers, their families, and the Army community. Current mitigation and identification support systems such as the Chain of Command, noncommissioned officer leadership, chaplains, and family support systems have all provided critical services, but may not be expected to optimally perform necessary early risk management assessment. Behavioral health care as a self-referral system is often still perceived as career ending, shameful, or even culturally unacceptable. Our allies have also experienced similar family, operational, and combat concerns. In 1996, at the direction of their Commandant General, the British Royal Marines developed and instituted a peer-driven risk management and support system that has experienced a high degree of success and acceptance among its forces--enough so that the Royal Navy is now in the process of implementing a similar program. The Soldier Peer Mentoring and Support program, as part of the proposed deployment Cycle Support Program, is a model for peer group assessment based on the British Royal Marines psychological risk management and support system. This article presents and describes this project, which has been considered for use within the U.S. Army, as a potential augmenter of existing behavioral health support assets as a culturally acceptable, company-level support program in deployment and home stations.

AB - A sample of 154,893 patient responses from the Customer Satisfaction Survey database was drawn for 1999 to 2000. Average patient satisfaction levels consistently appeared to be high (between 6, very satisfied, and 7, completely satisfied, on the 7-point rating scale). Hierarchical regression results essentially replicated all three major constructs of an earlier theoretical attitude model. Refinements included adjustment and addition of categorical age and military beneficiary status for individual patient variables, addition of two beliefs about the care itself, substitution of waiting time variables, and addition of reason for visit situation variables. Hypothesis test results indicated that patient satisfaction constructs were homogeneous across the uniformed services for patients from all service branches, both enrolled and not enrolled within TRICARE regions, and among branch of service medical center, hospital, and clinic facilities. The final attitude model coefficient of multiple determinations obtained was R² = 0.701 [F(25,154,867) = 14,539.33, p < 0.0001].

AB - This paper describes the use of multiple-objective decision analysis to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the quality of an endangered watershed and guide future efforts to improve the quality of the watershed. The Upham Brook Watershed is an urban watershed that lies at the interface of declining inner-city Richmond, Virginia, and growth-oriented Henrico County. A section of stream within the watershed has been identified as so dangerously polluted that it threatens the health of the residents who live within the watershed boundaries. With funding provided by the National Science Foundation, the Upham Brook Watershed project committee was formed to address the quality of the Upham Brook Watershed; it consisted of experts from multiple disciplines: stream ecology, environmental policy, water policy, ground and surface water hydrology and quality, aquatic biology, political science, sociology, citizen participation, community interaction, psychology, and decision and risk analysis. Each member's values and goals were brought together using a watershed management framework to meet the overall objective of the committee: to maximize the quality of the Upham Brook Watershed. The resulting model was used to identify the largest value gaps and to identify future programs needed to improve the quality of the watershed.

Viktor Frankl transcended his circumstances in the horrendous and inhuman environment of Nazi concentration camps; he not only found meaning in his suffering, but created a useable discipline for soldiers to find meaning in any and all circumstances in which their service may place them. It has become evident that the behavior of soldiers in hostile environments is more civil, humane, ethical, and honorable if the command provides regular and consistent religious support for all soldiers. The author expresses the hope that the Army Chief of Chaplains will understand the unique role that logotherapy can play in equipping chaplains to meet the needs of a positive defense posture well into the future.

AB - Background: Military exercises generate high levels of stress to simulate combat, providing a unique opportunity to examine cognitive and physiologic responses of normal humans to acute stress. Methods: Cognitive and physiologic markers of stress were evaluated before, during, and after an intense training exercise conducted for 53 hours in the heat. Cognitive performance, mood, physical activity, sleep, body composition, hydration, and saliva cortisol, testosterone, and melatonin were assessed. Volunteers were 31 male U.S. Army officers from an elite unit, aged 31.6 ± .4 years. Results: Wrist activity monitors documented that soldiers slept only 3.0 ± 3 hours during the exercise and were active throughout. Volunteers lost 4.1 ± .2 kg (p < .001) of weight, predominately water (3.1 ± .3 L) (p < .001). Substantial degradation in cognitive function, assessed with computerized tests, occurred. Vigilance, reaction time, attention, memory, and reasoning were impaired (p < .001). Mood, including vigor (p < .001), fatigue (p < .001), confusion (p < .001), depression (p < .001), and tension (p < .002), assessed by questionnaire, deteriorated. The highest cortisol and testosterone levels were observed before the exercise. Conclusions: This study quantifies the overwhelmingly adverse impact of multiple stressors on cognitive performance, mood, and physiologic parameters, during a continuous hut brief military exercise conducted by highly motivated, well-trained officers.

AB - Displayless interface technology provides speech-based access to computer applications for which visual access is not possible. These applications are increasingly prevalent, especially in situations requiring mobility, such as navigational applications. To ensure the successful deployment of this technology however, many human factors issues must be addressed. In particular, its nonvisual nature requires verbal presentation of spatial data. Prosodics, or nonverbal aspects, of human speech have been established as an indicator of cognitive stress. In this paper, we examine the assumption that the cognitive burden placed on the user by displayless access to spatial data would significantly alter the prosodics of the user's speech. Results were gathered through experiments in which user interactions with a prototype speech-based navigational system were recorded, post-processed, and analyzed for prosodic content. Subjects participated in two sessions, one using a speech-based, displayless interface, and a second using a multimodal interface that included a visual-tactile map display. Results showed strong evidence of significant changes in subjects' prosodic features when using a displayless versus a multimodal navigational interface for all categories of subjects. Insights gained from this work can be used to improve the design of the user interface for such applications. Also, results of this work can be used to refine the selection of acoustic cues used as predictors in prosodic pattern detection algorithms for these types of applications.

AB - Scientific examination of the relationships between nutrition and human behavior is difficult. Our ability to assess human behavior is limited, and many key issues in the field of human behavior assessment are controversial. In addition, knowledge of the critical nutritional factors that modulate human behavior is inadequate, especially with regard to the effects, if any, of chronic nutritional manipulations. Nevertheless, interest in both the acute and chronic effects of diet on behavior permeates our society. Dietary supplements that ostensibly will enhance cognitive performance are widely advertised, and other supplements that promise weight loss by modifying behavior are popular. Nutritional products claiming to relieve stress and depression or alleviate memory loss are common. A number of supplements and foods intended to increase energy are also widely available. Scientific evidence validating such claims is often weak and sometimes nonexistent. Therefore, a key objective of the field of nutrition and behavior should be to provide methods that can reliably prove or disprove the claims made by manufacturers, vendors, and the popular press. It is essential that scientists agree on the appropriate methods and interpretation of data so that a consensus on key issues can be achieved and evidence-based policy recommendations provided to government agencies and consumers. If commercial organizations make behavioral claims for their products, such as the ability to improve particular aspects of cognitive performance and mood, including memory, mental energy, stress relief, depression, and anxiety, then the critical evidence must be behavioral. Secondary endpoints, such as biochemical or physiological markers, although of substantial scientific value, cannot be considered suitable substitutes for functional outcomes if the claims are for changes in human behavior. In the U.S., dietary supplements are regulated by the Dietary Health and Education Act of 1994. The requirements for marketing a dietary supplement, unlike those for drugs, including over-the-counter (OTC) drugs among which dietary supplements are sold, do not require the manufacturer to prove efficacy and safety. This lack of regulation has substantially limited development of scientific methods to assess dietary factors, because the economic incentives present for pharmaceutical development do not exist. Fortunately, in the U.S., a National Institutes of Health (NIH) component, the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), does support considerable research in this area. In addition, some supplement manufacturers have conducted or supported research on their products.

The first two experiments tested four radii, starting after 0%, 30%, 60%, or 80% of the total distance of a cursor movement was covered. In the first experiment, the force field with the largest radius was found to be the least satisfying, whereas the force field starting after 60% was the most satisfying. In the second experiment, however, the force field with the largest radius was found to be the most efficient. The third experiment presented two or more targets simultaneously and included a prediction algorithm, predicting a user's intended target. The force field starting after 30% of the path was found to be the least efficient and the least satisfying. The no-force condition was most efficient but was not rated higher than the two smallest fields.

AB - Situational judgment tests (SJTs) have been developed in the fields of Industrial/Organizational and Cognitive Psychology to predict performance and to evaluate theories of cognition. Production of these scales has usually required the opinions of subject matter experts to produce scoring keys or criterion data to compute empirically based standards. A simpler, elegant procedure is considered that allows examinee responses to be scored as deviations from the consensus defined by the response distributions of the examinee sample. This approach is termed Consensus Based Measurement and has been applied to validate scales in domains, such as Emotional Intelligence, that lack certified experts and well specified, objective knowledge. Data are summarized demonstrating substantial convergence between SJT scores computed using expert and examinee based scoring standards for which substantial expert and examinee data are available.

AB - In this chapter, we discuss how the features of military life are different from what typically is seen in civilian life, how military families cope with problems commonly associated with these features, and what the Army specifically has done to help its families. We pay particular attention to the problems associated with long-term overseas deployments to potentially dangerous situations and/or locations. (A deployment occurs when a group of soldiers leave their home station, as a group, to accomplish a specific mission. Missions involve training for a task, maintaining the peace in a trouble spot, or engaging in combat. The deployments that are most likely to be studied by social scientists are those that involve at least 500 soldiers, are not routine training missions, and involve time in some foreign country.)

AB - Routines of expert decision making are largely unconscious and require a rich store of experiences to operate successfully (Klein, 1989). This understanding seems to leave us with little opportunity to develop training interventions. How do we teach someone to do something that is unconscious? How do we give novices the requisite experience that it takes years for experts to acquire? In this chapter, we answer those questions by first describing the nature of expert decision making in terms of the Recognition Primed Decision (RPD) model, which consists of two processes--recognition and mental simulation. We then discuss the two processes of gaining expertise--acquisition of contextualized knowledge in the form of mental models, and practice applying these mental models in context to develop richness in one's recognition and mental simulation abilities. Finally, we describe two training programs to illustrate how training can support the improvement of decision-making routines and the development and use of mental models.

AB - This study attempts to discover some suggestive reasons which might clarify the interrelationships of personality qualities, aside from high intelligence, which make for college achievement or failure. Many techniques have been used in studies of school failure, including case histories, teacher’s reports on personality, un standardized rating scales and questionnaires, interviews, school behavior records, life histories, and the standard paper and pencil tests. Two groups, each of fifteen male students in the College of Arts, were selected as subjects. All had an 85th percentile or better on the Ohio State Psychological Examination. One group, doing well in school, had a B+ average and the other group doing poor work had a C- average. The groups were fairly well equated for such variables as age, completed quarters in school, income of father, number of children in the family, birthplace of parents, urban residence, religion, dates per week, and number of study hours per week. The study attempted to discover if there were any structural differences in personality between the groups as measured by the Rorschach Ink Blot test.

Issue Publication Date: Oct, 1944. AB - This article deals with a small group of soldiers treated with group psychotherapy for six weeks. It functioned on a purely voluntary basis with an occasional member dropping out, but on the whole there was no need to push the attendance of the men. Sessions were held five days a week, lasting from 40 to 60 minutes with the psychiatrist and two social workers in attendance. The purpose of using a group as a vehicle whereby the individual can relive that period of his life whence his present trouble originates is three-fold, to relieve the individual of those feelings of isolation which a deep-seated problem gives him. To demonstrate to him the universality of his problem through the knowledge that other members of the group share in it. To stimulate his search for a solution since he can no longer conceal his problem from society as he has in many instances been successfully doing. To conclude, group psychotherapy is recommended as a form of treatment for psychoneurotic soldiers where other methods have failed to relieve them of anxieties and it increases the morale of the psychiatric service by socializing the patient who feels himself quite isolated.

The retention of individuals entering service with a waiver for hearing deficiency has not been previously studied. Methods: Military retention among new enlistees with a medical waiver for hearing deficiency was compared with that among a matched comparison group of fully qualified enlistees. Comparisons according to branch of service over the first 3 years of service were performed with the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and proportional-hazards model. Results: Army subjects had significantly lower retention rates than did their fully qualified counterparts. In the adjusted model, Army and Navy enlistees with a waiver for hearing deficiency had a significantly lower likelihood of retention than did their matched counterparts. Discussion: The increased likelihood of medical attrition in enlistees with a waiver for hearing loss provides no evidence to make the hearing accession standard more lenient and validates a selective hearing loss waiver policy.

Meeting this objective often requires balancing competing interests between employers and employees. The medical examination is the method for protecting the government's interests in identifying federal civilian applicants and workers who are medically unqualified to perform their duties while also preventing discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Scant published guidance on performing authorized medical examinations and analyzing the resultant information is available for federal medical officers. This is needed to foster an equitable, compliant decision for both federal employers and employees. Using the Department of Defense as an example, this article provides a legal road map for the practitioner by defining medical standards and physical requirements, discussing medical examinations, and examining disability determinations.

Although respiratory disease control is improved, epidemics continue to occur, and respiratory disease in military trainees continues to exceed that in U.S. civilian adults. Overall, Department of Defense utilization of the trivalent inactivated vaccine was much lower than anticipated during the 2004-2005 season. The slow start to the 2004-2005 influenza season resulted in a low demand for influenza immunization by the medically high-risk beneficiary population of the Department of Defense. Surveillance for influenza during the 2004-2005 season in U.S. Army Europe reached unprecedented heights, testing and confirming more cases than in any previous year.

However, because malaria may be transported out of endemic areas and into areas that are free of malaria, the threat does not end with redeployment. Since the Korean Conflict, outbreaks of imported malaria have followed every major deployment of U.S. military forces to malaria endemic areas. By examining unique aspects of these outbreaks through the years, many similarities can be drawn. Repeated observations demonstrate that preventive efforts are only effective at reducing the impact of imported malaria when commanders are informed about the risks of malaria. Commanders must also understand the preventive resources that are available while deployed, and the potential for morbidity and mortality from malaria.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/08// VL - 171 IS - 8 M3 - Abstract SP - 762 EP - 769 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The purposes of this study were to identify the ethical issues Department of the Army civilian and Army Nurse Corps certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) encountered in their anesthesia practice and how disturbed they were by these issues. This descriptive study used a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey of Army Nurse Corps officers and Department of the Army civilian registered nurses (N = 5,293). The CRNA subset (n = 97) was obtained from questionnaires that indicated a primary practice setting as anesthesia. The most frequently occurring ethical issue identified was conflict in the nurse-physician relationship. whereas the most disturbing issue was working with incompetent/ impaired colleagues. Unresolved ethical conflicts can negatively influence the nurses' morale, leading to avoidance of the issue and contributing to burnout. Identifying the ethical issues and disturbance level experienced by CRNAs should contribute to the development of an ethics education program that addresses issues encountered in CRNA practice.

T1 - The Basis for Prescribed Ability Group Run Speeds and Distances in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/07// VL - 171 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 669 EP - 677 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - During the first few days of Army Basic Combat Training (BCT), recruits take a running test and after completing this test they are ranked from fast to slow. Four roughly equal-sized "ability groups" are established from these rankings and recruits run together in these groups for their physical training during BCT. In the past, there has been no formal guidance regarding how fast or how far these ability groups should run. To fill this void, this study provides guidance for running speeds and distances during BCT. The major considerations included are: (1) minimizing injuries, (2) the initial aerobic fitness level of recruits, (3] historical improvements in run times during BCT, (4) historical running speeds of the slower individuals in each ability group, (5) running speeds that must be achieved to "pass" the 2-mile run in BCT, (6) the gender composition of the ability groups, and (7) recommendations from the trainers and field testing. Three databases were analyzed that contained a total of 16,716 men and 11,600 women. Four steps were used in the analyses: (1) establishment of run-time cut points for representative ability groups, (2) determination of initial (starting) run speeds, (3) estimation of changes in run speeds with training, and (4) establishment of run speeds and distances for each week of BCT. Efforts were made to (1) keep the running speeds between 70% and 83% of the estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) for all ability groups, (2) consider the 2-mile running pace of the slower individuals in each ability group, and (3) keep the total running distance for the two slower ability groups below a total of 25 miles, the apparent threshold for increasing injury incidence. A chart provides speeds and distances for each ability group at each week of BCT. Using these recommended speeds and distances should allow trainees to improve their aerobic fitness, pass the Army Physical Fitness Test, and minimize injuries that result in lost training time and, ultimately, lower fitness levels.

Soldiers with intimate relationships processed for mobilization through Fort Bliss, Texas, completed a questionnaire that queried demographic information, relationship satisfaction, stress, risky alcohol use behaviors, and tactics used during intimate relationship conflict. Four hundred forty-nine deploying soldiers (15.8% of 2,841 with usable data) reported IPV in the past year. Younger age, less education, less relationship satisfaction, more stress, and risky alcohol use behaviors were significant individual predictors of engaging in IPV. The results of this study are discussed in terms of their implications for targeting efforts to reduce IPV among military personnel.

Methods: A total of 1,100 cadets were screened for LLIs; 126 of 1,100 were identified to have a LLI of >0.5 cm and were assigned a matched control cadet. Injury rates, numbers of visits to sick call, and numbers of days spent on medical excusal during a 1-year period were then compared for the 252 cadets. Results: There was no difference in prevalence of injury between the groups and no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the groups in injury rates, visits to sick call, or number of days spent on medical excusal. Conclusions: These findings do not support any increased incidence of injuries in a young, healthy, athletic, military population with mild LLIs, compared with matched control subjects without LLIs, over 1 year.

Few studies have been specifically designed to examine the efficacy of oral antibiotic therapy for these infections. We performed an observational study to determine the effect of alternative, orally administered antibiotics on cMRSA soft tissue infections. Consecutive patients between January 2001 and March 2004 who had skin or soft tissue infections from which cMRSA was isolated and who had never received vancomycin were studied through retrospective and concurrent review. Primary outcome measures were improvement or resolution of infection 5 and 14 days after initiation of treatment with orally administered antibiotics and rates of recurrence within 30 days alter completion of treatment. Thirty subjects met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-one subjects received either clindamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, doxycycline/minocycline, or a fluoroquinolone, Five subjects received a β-lactam antibiotic with abscess drainage, and four subjects underwent abscess drainage alone. Improvement was noted for all subjects at 5 days, complete resolution of infection occurred for all subjects by 14 to 17 days, and in no case did relapse occur within 30 days. cMRSA skin and soft tissue infections can be successfully treated with orally administered antibiotics to which the organism has demonstrable in vitro susceptibility.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 171 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 448 EP - 453 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Although best known as a blistering agent, sulfur mustard (HD) can also induce neutropenia in exposed individuals, increasing their susceptibility to infection. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and pegylated G-CSF (peg-G-CSF) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as hematopoietic growth factors to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of G-CSF and peg-G-CSF in ameliorating HD-induced neutropenia. African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) were challenged with HD and, at 1, 3, 5, or 7 days after exposure, G-CSF therapy (10 µg/kg per day for 21 days) was initiated. Peg-G-CSF (300 µg/kg, single treatment) was similarly tested, with treatment given at 3 days after exposure. Untreated HD-exposed animals recovered from neutropenia 28 days after exposure, whereas G-CSF- or peg-G-CSF-treated animals recovered 8 to 19 days after exposure (p < 0,05). These results indicate that G-CSF or peg-G-CSF may provide Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments that will reduce the duration of HD-induced neutropenia.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 171 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 415 EP - 419 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objective: Dental emergencies negatively affect the Army during combat. Dental readiness continues to be a primary mission of the Army Dental Care System and is an important part of mobilization. Dental Fitness Classification (DFC) is used to evaluate the oral health status and current treatment needs of soldiers. Caries and tobacco risk assessments were recently added to the annual examination of Army soldiers. The aim of this project was to determine whether any association existed between the DFC and caries and tobacco risk assessments of Army soldiers. Methods: The study population consisted of 66,484 U.S. Army active duty soldiers. The data were obtained from an Army electronic database that maintains all patient visits. The following information was obtained for each soldier; rank, DFC, caries risk, and tobacco risk assessment. Summary statistics were computed and DFC was compared with caries risk, tobacco risk, and rank using the χ² analysis and logistic regression model. Results: High-caries risk soldiers were 15.6 times more likely to be a DFC 3 or 4 as compared to DFC 1 and 2 soldiers. DFC 3 or 4 soldiers were 1.43 times more likely to be tobacco users than DFC 1 or 2 soldiers. Logistic regression models showed that high-caries risk soldiers were at 13 times the odds of being a DFC 3 or DFC 4 as compared to DFC 1 or DFC 2. Soldiers who used tobacco products were also more likely to be in higher DFC classification compared to those that did not use any tobacco products. Conclusions: This study has shown clear associations between DFC categories and caries and tobacco risk wherein DFC 3 and 4 soldiers are at higher risk for future caries and of being tobacco users. This relationship warrants the inclusion of caries and tobacco risk in the overall dental assessment of soldiers.

This study was conducted during normal hospital operations, and we tested the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations 2004 National Patient Safety Goal, Section 6b to determine whether patient alarms could sufficiently compete against environmental background noises. Patient clinical alarms were audible at distances of ≥95 feet with room doors open but were not sufficiently audible to hospital staff members when room doors were closed or during floor-buffing activities. This study suggests that, under these circumstances, hospitals may not meet Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations 2004 National Patient Safety Goal. Section 6b. Because the audibility of patient clinical alarms directly affects patient safety, satisfaction, and quality of care, we provide recommendations for engineering controls and modifications to work routines.

Commanders provided anonymous professional information about themselves and their assigned physicians and evaluated their physicians in 22 areas of medical and military competence using a linear scoring method from 2 (indicating poor) to 6 (indicating outstanding). Main effects and interaction effects were analyzed using multiple analysis of variance. The commanders' overall confidence in their physicians was 5.4, suggesting general satisfaction. Prior-service physicians were rated higher on several factors if the commander had combat experience. Nonprior-service physicians were rated the same on nearly all variables regardless of the commander's experience. Commanders with combat experience rated their assigned physicians significantly higher than did commanders without combat experience. Despite high ratings, several candid remarks suggest there is still room for improvement.

A purposive sample of research participants (N = 131) from two military treatment facilities assigned to Great Plains Regional Medical Command responded to an electronic Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index |READI). The READl measures self-reported competencies in six dimensions of nursing readiness. Descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. Although the research surveyed three levels of nursing skills (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing assistant), the study results were noted to be quite parallel across the groups. Significant differences were noted throughout the six dimensions of the READI and between the two military treatment facilities in the dimensions of operational nursing competencies and personal and psychological readiness. Findings support the need for a structured core competency tool to provide succinct focused training to ensure deployment readiness.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 171 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 117 EP - 121 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: The Department of Defense Hearing Conservation Program requires that a reference audiogram be performed at initial entry training (IET). before noise exposure. In the Army, only Fort Sill, home of the field artillery, and Fort Benning. home of the infantry, are in compliance. All military applicants receive a screening audiogram at a military entrance processing station (MEPS) to qualify for service. This audiogram does not meet the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System-Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) standard. Nevertheless, it has been proposed that the MEPS screen he used as the reference because of limited resources and time during IET medical in-processing. Methods: A total of 11,816 individual reference audiograms performed at Fort Sill 95th Adjutant General Recruit Reception Center in 2000 were identified in the DOEHRS-HC database. Results of the MEPS screening audiograms were found for 11.311 (96%) of these individuals. The two audiograms were compared by frequency and ear and by using the two Department of Defense criteria for threshold shift. Results: A total of 14.49% (95% confidence interval. 14.48-14.50%) of audiograms using the three-frequency average difference and 23.19% (95% confidence interval. 23.18-23.20%) using the four-frequency difference in either ear demonstrated a threshold shift. The mean difference in intensity between the two audiograms ranged from 5 to 12 dB and varied by frequency and ear. with the greatest differences being seen at 500 and 6.000 kHz and in the left ear. compared with the right ear. The mean threshold level was higher for each frequency in the DOEHRS-HC audiogram. compared with the MEPS audiogram. Conclusions; Approximately 15% of soldiers at Fort Sill in 2000 showed a clinically significant threshold difference between their MEPS screening and the DOEHRS-HC baseline audiogram. Methodological variations in testing and interval noise-induced hearing loss could account for these differences. The results do not support the use of the MEPS screening audiogram as the reference audiogram. Compliance with the Hearing Conservation Program in the Army would require either improving MEPS testing to DOEHRS-HC standards or performing baseline audiograms at all five IET sites.

It was hypothesized that military hardiness would moderate the effects of deployment stressors on soldier health. In a survey study of 629 U.S. soldiers, deployment stressors, military hardiness, and psychological and physical health were assessed during a peacekeeping deployment. Health was measured again after deployment. Results of moderated regression analyses partially supported the hypotheses: military hardiness moderated the impact of deployment stressors on depression after deployment, after controlling for depression during deployment. Implications for training military hardiness and applications to other occupational settings are discussed.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 171 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 54 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Recruits arriving for basic combat training (BCT) between October 1999 and May 2004 were administered an entry-level physical fitness test at the reception station. If they failed the test, then they entered the Fitness Assessment Program (FAP), where they physically trained until they passed the test and subsequently entered BCT, The effectiveness of the FAP was evaluated by examining fitness, injury, and training outcomes. Recruits who failed the test, trained in the FAP, and entered BCT after passing the test were designated the preconditioning (PC) group (64 men and 94 women). Recruits who failed the test but were allowed to enter BCT without going into the FAP were called the no preconditioning (NPC) group (32 men and 73 women). Recruits who passed the test and directly entered BCT were designated the no need of preconditioning (NNPC) group (1.078 men and 731 women). Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and training outcomes were obtained from a company-level database, and injured recruits were identified from cases documented in medical records. The proportions of NPC. PC. and NNPC recruits who completed the 9-week BCT cycle were 59%. 83%. and 87% for men (p < 0.01) and 52%. 69%. and 78% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Because of attrition, only 63% of the NPC group took the week 7 APFT, compared with 84% and 86% of the PC and NNPC groups, respectively. The proportions of NPC. PC. and NNPC recruits who passed the final APFT after all retakes were 88%. 92%. and 98% for men (p < 0.01) and 89%. 92%, and 97% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Compared with NNPC men. injury risk was 1.5 (95% confidence interval. 1.0-2.2) and 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-3.1) times higher for PC and NPC men, respectively. Compared with NNPC women, injury risk was 1.2 (95% confidence interval. 0.9-1.6) and 1.5 (95% confidence interval. 1.1-2.1) times higher for PC and NPC women, respectively. This program evaluation showed that low-fit recruits who preconditioned before BCT had reduced attrition and tended to have lower injury risk, compared with recruits of similar low fitness who did not precondition.

There is a paucity of evidence supporting the use of many of these interventions. The purpose of this study was to present data on the Shin Saver orthosis as a treatment for shin splints in an active duty military population and to review current condition management. Twenty-five subjects diagnosed with shin splints by a U.S. Army physical therapist were randomly assigned to a shin orthosis treatment group or a control group. There was no significant difference between treatment and control groups in days to finish a 0.5- mile run pain free. Visual analog scales for pain at intake versus after 1 week of relative rest revealed no significant improvement in symptoms in either group. Current best-practice guidelines support a treatment program of rest, cryotherapy, and a graduated walk-to-run program.

Laboratory-based testing of A. aegypti, A. aegypti (Trinidad strain), Culex pipiens, Culex quinquefasciatus. Anopheles stephensi, and Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus individual adult mosquitoes and mixed pools (n = 10) demonstrated 100% concordance in both in vitro sensitivity (six of six samples) and specificity (10 of 10 samples). A single adult A. aegypti was identified in a pool of 100 non-A. aegypti mosquitoes. The limit of detection of A. aegypti egg pools was five individual eggs. Field testing was conducted in central Honduras. An A. aegypti and Culex spp. panel of individual and mixed pools (n = 30) of adult mosquitoes, pupae, and larvae demonstrated 100% concordance in sensitivity (22 of 22 samples) and 97% concordance in specificity (29 of 30 samples), with one false-positive result. Field testing of an A. aegypti and Culex spp. blind panel (n = 16) consisting of individual and mixed pools of adult mosquitoes, pupae, and larvae demonstrated 90% concordance in sensitivity (nine of 10 samples) and 88% concordance in specificity (14 of 16 samples).

It functions as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, including those involved in DNA and RNA replication and protein synthesis. Soldiers represent a unique population faced with intense metabolic and mental demands, as well as exposure to various immune challenges. Some of these factors may affect their dietary zinc requirements. Although severe zinc deficiency is unlikely to occur, some soldiers may experience less than optimal zinc status because of diminished intake coupled with increased requirements. For those soldiers, supplemental dietary zinc may serve a protective function in numerous disease states affecting modern warfighters. This review highlights the importance of adequate zinc nutriture to soldiers and discusses the potential benefits of supplemental zinc in a number of diseases currently affecting soldiers, including diarrhea, respiratory diseases, malaria, and leishmaniasis.

Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 1,532 soldiers after they completed a biannual APFT. Self-reported injury responses determined the rates of injuries resulting from the push-up, sit-up, and 2-mile run events and were classified into three categories, i.e., all injuries, performance-limiting injuries, and time-loss injuries. Results: A total of 117 soldiers (injury rate, 7.6%) reported sustaining an injury (all injuries), with 11% attributed to the push-up event, 56% to the sit-up event, and 32% to the run event. Forty-six of these injuries reportedly limited performance (injury rate, 3.0%), and 11 soldiers received a duty-limiting profile (time-loss injury rate, 0.7%), which did not differ among events. Injury rates were not significantly associated with the number of sit-ups performed per week or the number of days per week a soldier participated in physical training and were not greater for soldiers who trained specifically for the APFT. History of previous injury was a significant risk factor for injury. Conclusion: The push-up, sit-up, and run events of the APFT do not pose a considerable acute injury risk to active duty soldiers.

Strenuous military training/ assessment provides a uniform stress and the opportunity to evaluate nutritional strategies to minimize stress-induced immune changes that predispose soldiers to infection. Immunological changes and effects of a novel nutritional immune formula (NNIF) were examined prospectively in a double-blind, controlled study of 200 soldiers attending Special Forces Assessment and Selection School. Immune function was measured by skin delayed-type hypersensitivity, lymphocyte phenotyping, mitogenic proliferative responses, and granulocyte function. Approximately 50% of soldiers completed the study (control, n = 57; NNIF, n = 50). Several stress-induced lymphocyte changes were observed (decreased mitogen-induced proliferation. T and total lymphocytes, and interferon-γ-producing lymphocytes and increased percentage of neutrophils). NNIF modified several changes, including delayed-type hypersensitivity responses (NNIF. 78%; control. 59%; p < 0.05). increased proportions of helper T cells, activation of B cells, enhanced neutrophil phagocytosis, and attenuation of declines in certain functional subpopulations (i.e., cytotoxic/ suppressor lymphocytes). Soldiers who consumed NNIF experienced less stress-induced immune impairment, thereby lowering the risk of infection.

There have been many discussions of how quality control measures from industry can be applied to the health care system. Indeed both civilian and "brick and mortar" military medical treatment facilities are adapting these techniques. It is important that we understand the principles behind Total Quality Management (TQM) as well as its techniques and limitations. TQM is based on limiting deviation from an accepted standard of practice. These principles may be as applicable to our military health care facilities in a field environment as they are to our fixed facilities, although the standards used for measurement may have to be modified to adapt to different constraints of environment and resources. TQM techniques can nonetheless be applied in virtually any facility to ensure the best possible care and outcomes for our soldiers.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2006/09//Sep/Oct2006 VL - 25 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 378 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely used as an explosive in U.S. army munitions formulations since World War II. Two-year carcinogenicity studies revealed RDX to be noncarcinogenic in two strains of rats, but a 2-year carcinogenicity study in B6C3F1 mice revealed an increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in females. Based on results of the study in B6C3F1 mice, RDX has been classified as a possible carcinogen. The authors reevaluated the archived histological sections from the B6C3F1 mouse study, using current histopathologic diagnostic criteria and interpretations. The earlier evaluation showed a statistically significant increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma/carcinoma in female mice from the three highest dose groups (7, 35, and 175/100 mg/kg/day). The revaluation yielded a slightly lower incidence at each of the dose levels in female mice. The reduced number of hepatocellular neoplasms was largely due to reclassification of hepatocellular adenomas as foci of cytoplasmic alteration, in compliance with current diagnostic criteria. The reevaluation was reviewed by a pathology working group (PWG), which arrived at a consensus classification of each lesion. Based on the consensus diagnoses of the PWG, only one female group (35 mg/kg/day) showed a significant increase when compared to controls. The incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms for all groups, including the 35 mg/kg/day group, was within the reported incidence range for spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasms in female B6C3F1 mice. The increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in female mice given RDX at 35 mg/kg/day was interpreted as equivocal evidence of a carcinogenic effect.

TG is a precursor in the production of HD and it is also considered as a “Schedule 2” compound (dual-use chemicals with low to moderate commercial use and high-risk precursors). Several toxicological studies on TG were conducted to assess environmental and health effects. The oral LD 50 values were > 5000 mg/kg in rats. It was a mild skin and moderate ocular irritant and was not a skin sensitizer in animals. It was not mutagenic in Ames Salmonella , Escherichia coli , mouse lymphoma, and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, but it induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells. A 90-day oral subchronic toxicity study with neat TG at doses of 0, 50, 500, and 5000 mg/kg/day (5 days/week) in Sprague-Dawley rats results show that there are no treatment-related changes in food consumption, hematology, and clinical chemistry in rats of either sex. The body weights of both sexes were significantly lower than controls at 5000 mg/kg/day. Significant changes were also noted in both sexes in absolute weights of kidneys, kidney to body weight ratios, and kidney to brain weight ratios, in the high-dose group. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for oral toxicity was 500 mg/kg/day. The developmental toxicity conducted at 0, 430, 1290, and 3870 mg/kg by oral gavage showed maternal toxicity in dams receiving 3870 mg/kg. TG was not a developmental toxicant. The NOAEL for the developmental toxicity in rats was 1290 mg/kg. The provisional oral reference dose (RfD) of 0.4 mg/kg/day was calculated for health risk assessments. The fate of TG in the environment and soil showed biological formation of thiodiglycalic acid with formation of an intermediate ((2-hydroxyethyl)thio)acetic acid. It was slowly biodegraded under anaerobic conditions. It was not toxic to bluegill sunfish at 1000 mg/L and its metabolism and environmental and biochemical effects are summarized.

There is considerable data available regarding the toxicity and carcinogenicity of RDX. It has been classified as a possible carcinogen (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Risk Information System, 2005, www.epa.gov/IRIS/subst/0313.htm). In order to better understand its gentoxic potential, the authors conducted the in vitro mouse lymphoma forward mutation and the in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assays. Pure RDX (99.99%) at concentrations ranging from 3.93 to 500 μ g/ml showed no cytotoxicity and no mutagenicity in forward mutations at the thymidine kinase (TK) locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, with and without metabolic activation. This finding was also confirmed by repeat assays under identical conditions. In addition, RDX did not induce micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells when tested to the maximum tolerated dose of 250 mg/kg in male mice. These results show that RDX was not mutagenic in these in vitro and in vivo mammalian systems.

Data Sources: Published articles, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, and MEDLINE®, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature®, PsyclNFO, and the Cochrane Library computerized databases. Data Synthesis: Scientists have initiated studies on the prevalence of sleep/wake disturbances and the etiology of sleep disturbances specific to cancer. Measurement has been limited by lack of clear definitions of sleep/wake variables, use of a variety of instruments, and inconsistent reporting of sleep parameters. Findings related to use of nonpharmacologic interventions were limited to 20 studies, and the quality of the evidence remains poor. Few pharmacologic approaches have been studied, and evidence for use of herbal and complementary supplements is almost nonexistent. Conclusions: Current knowledge indicates that sleep/wake disturbances are prevalent in cancer populations. Few Instruments have been validated in this population. Nonpharmacologic interventions show positive outcomes, but design issues and small samples limit generalizability. Little is known regarding use of pharmacologic and herbal and complementary supplements and potential adverse outcomes or interactions with cancer therapies. Implications for Nursing: All patients and caregivers need initial and ongoing screening for sleep/wake disturbances. When disturbed sleep/wakefulness is evident, further assessment and treatment are warranted. Nursing educational programs should include content regarding healthy and disrupted sleep/wake patterns. Research on sleep/wake disturbances in people with cancer should have high priority.

T1 - Butyrylcholinesterase in Guinea Pig Lung Lavage: A Novel Biomarker to Assess Lung Injury Following Inhalation Exposure to Nerve Agent VX. JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 493 EP - 500 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - Respiratory disturbances play a central role in chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) induced toxicity; they are the starting point of mass casualty and the major cause of death. We developed a microinstillation technique of inhalation exposure to nerve agent VX and assessed lung injury by biochemical analysis of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Here we demonstrate that normal guinea pig BALF has a significant amount of cholinesterase activity. Treatment with Huperzine A, a specific inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), showed that a minor fraction of BALF cholinesterase is AChE. Furthermore, treatment with tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide ( iso -OMPA), a specific inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), inhibited more than 90% of BChE activity, indicating the predominance of BChE in BALF. A predominance of BChE expression in the lung lavage was seen in both genders. Substrate specific inhibition indicated that nearly 30% of the cholinesterase in lung tissue homogenate is AChE. BALF and lung tissue AChE and BChE activities were strongly inhibited in guinea pigs exposed for 5 min to 70.4 and 90.4 µ g/m 3 VX and allowed to recover for 15 min. In contrast, BALF AChE activity was increased 63% and 128% and BChE activity was increased 77% and 88% after 24 h of recovery following 5 min inhalation exposure to 70.4 µ g/m 3 and 90.4 mg/m 3 VX, respectively. The increase in BALF AChE and BChE activity was dose dependent. Since BChE is synthesized in the liver and present in the plasma, an increase in BALF indicates endothelial barrier injury and leakage of plasma into lung interstitium. Therefore, a measure of increased levels of AChE and BChE in the lung lavage can be used to determine the chronology of barrier damage as well as the extent of lung injury following exposure to chemical warfare nerve agents.

Animals were anesthetized using Telazol-meditomidine, gently intubated, and VX was aerosolized using a microcatheter placed 2 cm above the bifurcation of the trachea. Different doses (50.4 µg/m 3 , 70.4 µ g/m m3 , 90.4 µg/m m3 ) of VX were administered at 40 pulses/min for 5 min. Dosing of VX was calculated by the volume of aerosol produced per 200 pulses and diluting the agent accordingly. Although the survival rate of animals exposed to different doses of VX was similar to the controls, nearly a 20% weight reduction was observed in exposed animals. After 24 h of recovery, the animals were euthanized and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed with oxygen free saline. BAL was centrifuged and separated into BAL fluid (BALF) and BAL cells (BALC) and analyzed for indication of lung injury. The edema by dry/wet weight ratio of the accessory lobe increased 11% in VX-treated animals. BAL cell number was increased in VX-treated animals compared to controls, independent of dosage. Trypan blue viability assay indicated an increase in BAL cell death in 70.4 µg/m m3 and 90.4 µg/m m3 VX-exposed animals. Differential cell counting of BALC indicated a decrease in macrophage/monocytes in VX-exposed animals. The total amount of BAL protein increased gradually with the exposed dose of VX and was highest in animals exposed to 90.4 µg/m m3 , indicating that this dose of VX caused lung injury that persisted at 24 h. In addition, histopathology results also suggest that inhalation exposure to VX induces acute lung injury.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 153 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - The current studies estimated effective (miosis) concentrations of the nerve agents' sarin (GB) and cyclosarin (GF) as a function of exposure duration in the Gottingen minipig and determined dependency of the median effective dosage (ECT50) over time. Male and female Gottingen minipigs were exposed to various concentrations of vapor GB or GF for 10, 60, or 180 min. Infrared images of the pig's pupil before, during, and after nerve agent exposure were captured digitally and pupil area was quantified. An animal was classified “positive” for miosis if there was a 50% reduction in pupil area (as compared to baseline) at any time during or after the GB or GF exposure. Maximum likelihood estimation was used on the resulting quantal data to calculate ECT50 (miosis) values, with approximate 95% confidence intervals, for each of the six gender–exposure duration groups. As a group, male minipigs were significantly more sensitive to the pupil constricting effects of GF than were female minipigs. In male minipigs, GF is approximately equipotent to GB for 60-min exposures and more potent for 10- and 180-min exposures. In the female minipig GF is slightly more potent than GB for 10-min exposures but then progressively becomes less potent over the 60- and 180-min durations of exposure. The values of the toxic load exponents were essentially independent of the model fits used: 1.32 ± 0.18 for GB exposures and 1.60 ± 0.22 for GF exposures. Since neither of these intervals overlaps 1, Haber's rule is not an appropriate time-dependence model for these data sets.

AB - Organizational data are inherently nested; consequently, lower level data are typically influenced by higher level grouping factors. Stated another way, almost all lower level organizational data have some degree of nonindependence due to work group, geographic membership, and so on. Unaccounted-for nonindependence can be problematic because it affects standard error estimates used to determine statistical significance. Currently, researchers interested in modeling higher level variables routinely use multilevel modeling techniques to avoid well-known problems with Type I error rates. In this article, however, the authors examine how nonindependence affects statistical inferences in cases in which researchers are interested only in relationships among lower level variables. They show that ignoring nonindependence when modeling only lower level variables reduces power (increases Type II errors), and through simulations, the authors show where this loss of power is most pronounced.

AB - Objective: This study documents the recent trends and current state of inpatient trauma care in U.S. Army hospitals. Methods: Inpatient trauma cases from Army hospitals worldwide from October 1988 through April 2001 were analyzed. Facilities included 3 Certified Trauma Centers (CTCs), 7 non-CTC Army Medical Centers, and 42 Army Community Hospitals. Logistic regression identified mortality risk factors. Results: Overall, the Army treated 166,124 trauma cases, with a mortality rate of 0.8% (trend of 0.66% to 1.18% in fiscal years 1989-2000, p < 0.0001). The number of Army hospitals decreased by 44% and the number of trauma cases decreased by nearly 75%. Injury severity, patient age, hospital trauma volume, beneficiary category, hospital type, and a resource intensity measure were all significantly associated with the probability of death. Conclusions: The overall trauma mortality rate at Army hospitals during the study period was lower than that reported for civilian trauma centers. However, changes in patient profiles, increased average severity, and decreased trauma volume might have contributed to a 13% increase in mortality rates at CTCs.

AB - Personal computer-based aviation training devices (PCATDs) have been shown to support primary flight training. Positive results have been shown for fixed-wing aircraft only. This research investigated which tasks from U.S. Army Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) training could be supported by a PCATD. Sixteen aviators representing both highly experienced and student helicopter pilots evaluated the ability of a commercial PCATD, running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000TM Professional Edition, to support the seventy-one flight tasks comprising the IERW Common Core curriculum. Aviators performed each task one or more times in the PCATD before rating it on a four-point scale. Additional data were gathered on attitudes toward simulation and computer literacy, as well as comments and criticisms. Results showed remarkable agreement between experienced aviators and students. The PCATD was judged as best supporting Instrument Flight Training, especially tasks involving radio navigation. Tasks from Primary Flight Training, especially tasks requiring hovering, were judged as less well supported. The most frequently stated positive comment was that the PCATD would be valuable in training navigation instruments and procedures. The three most frequent criticisms concerned narrow field of view, poor visual depth cues, and inability to perform hovering flight tasks.

AB - This article introduces the papers found in the current issue of CyberPsychology and Behavior (2004, Vol 7[6]). The reports cover a massive world with multiple ways of looking at information systems, all the way from people dealing with kindergarteners up through experienced pilots under multi-G loads. The associated displays will have to ideally adjust themselves to all these situations, while still maintaining the locus of control for information selection within the human who's looking at it. The papers demonstrate that there is an evolving nucleus of people beginning to speak the same language, seeing the core problems of adapting to a human user and getting the technology to actually sit up when we tell it to sit up, and to do things the way we want them done so that we have more control rather than less. If we can get this collaboration and cooperation continuing across the next months and years, I think that this potentially can become one of the strongest tools we have in understanding what makes us think as well, and can, in fact, help in increasing the understanding and efficiency of our own thought processes.

AB - Recent research on change detection suggests that people often fail to notice changes in visual displays when they occur at the same time as various forms of visual transients, including eye blinks, screen flashes, and scene relocation. Distractions that draw the observer's attention away from the location of the change especially lead to detection failure. As process monitoring and control systems rely on humans interacting with complex visual displays, there is a possibility that important changes in visually presented information will be missed if the changes occur coincident with a visual transient or distraction. The purpose of this article is to review research on so called 'change blindness' and discuss its implications for the design of visual interfaces for complex monitoring and control systems. The major implication is that systems should provide users with dedicated change-detection tools, instead of leaving change detection to the vagaries of human memorial and attentional processes. Possible training solutions for reducing vulnerability to change-detection failure are also discussed.

AB - Background: In addition to psychological disorders, emotional stress can trigger a chain of neurohumoral imbalances that can manifest as cardiopulmonary complaints. No studies were identified that used objective clinical data on complaints after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify all cardiopulmonary and psychological diagnoses among active duty personnel seeking care at a military treatment facility and/or its ancillary facilities before and after September 11, 2001. Methods: The study population included 40,981 active duty military personnel between August 13, 2001 and October 9, 2001 (4 weeks before and 4 weeks after September 11, 2001). Demographic and diagnostic data were obtained from the Composite Health Care System for each visit during the study period. The outcomes of interest were psychological and cardiopulmonary diagnoses. Results: There were 19,595 clinic visits before September 11, 2001 compared to 19,207 clinic visits in the 4 weeks after September 11. There was no increase in total psychological diagnoses in the postexposure period, compared with the preexposure period (risk ratio (RR), 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.84-1.11). The only statistically significant finding was a decrease in diagnoses of psychoses (RR, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.42-0.91). However, diagnoses of depressive disorders were increased in the postexposure period (RR, 1.61; 95% CI, 0.89-2.90; p = 0.11). Total cardiopulmonary diagnoses did not increase in the postexposure period, compared with the preexposure period (RR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.91-1.02). Conclusions: This descriptive study failed to identify evidence that any changes in cardiopulmonary or mental health diagnoses were attributable to September 11 terrorist attacks. In the unfortunate event of another national tragedy, it is recommended that health care professionals administer a questionnaire to determine why patients are seeking care after the tragedy. These data could be linked to International Classification of Diseases data to determine the effects of the tragedy on the health of personnel and their utilization of health care services.

AB - The present review addresses the importance of leader behaviors in influencing the extent to which various stressors soldiers experience (e.g., high workload and lack of sleep) are related to different types of strains (e.g., psychological health, poor job satisfaction, and low morale). Research conducted by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) in the area of leadership is reviewed. Researchers at the WRAIR have examined the role of leadership as a predictor of stress, as a buffer against the negative effects of stress, and as a variable that predicts or enables variables that have been found to decrease the adverse effects of stress (e.g., role clarity, self-efficacy, and job engagement). A key strength of the WRAIR program of research is the use of multilevel modeling to examine how perceptions of leadership at the unit level are related to unit and individual soldier well-being and motivation.

AB - This research examined the impact of psychological and physical demands on a group of elite soldiers (N = 9) before, during, and after training exercises involving routine and unrehearsed tasks. Based on the psychological concept of toughening, we expected soldier responses to unrehearsed demands to be less resilient than to routine training demands. As hypothesized, soldiers rated their perceptions of physical and psychological demands higher during the unrehearsed training phase of the study. It was also hypothesized that soldiers would recover more from physical demands than from psychological demands after the training exercise. Although a trend in the data marginally supported this hypothesis, a note of caution is warranted because of the small sample size. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed, with particular emphasis on the dual importance of psychological and physical training in preparing soldiers for mission demands.

AB - BACKGROUND The current combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have involved U. S. military personnel in major ground combat and hazardous security duty. Studies are needed to systematically assess the mental health of members of the armed services who have participated in these operations and to inform policy with regard to the optimal delivery of mental health care to returning veterans. METHODS We studied members of four U.S. combat infantry units (three Army units and one Marine Corps unit) using an anonymous survey that was administered to the subjects either before their deployment to Iraq (n=2530) or three to four months after their return from combat duty in Iraq or Afghanistan (n=3671). The outcomes included major depression, generalized anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which were evaluated on the basis of standardized, self-administered screening instruments. RESULTS Exposure to combat was significantly greater among those who were deployed to Iraq than among those deployed to Afghanistan. The percentage of study subjects whose responses met the screening criteria for major depression, generalized anxiety, or PTSD was significantly higher after duty in Iraq (15.6 to 17.1 percent) than after duty in Afghanistan (11.2 percent) or before deployment to Iraq (9.3 percent); the largest difference was in the rate of PTSD. Of those whose responses were positive for a mental disorder, only 23 to 40 percent sought mental health care. Those whose responses were positive for a mental disorder were twice as likely as those whose responses were negative to report concern about possible stigmatization and other barriers to seeking mental health care. CONCLUSIONS This study provides an initial look at the mental health of members of the Army and the Marine Corps who were involved in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our findings indicate that among the study groups there was a significant risk of mental health problems and that the subjects reported important barriers to receiving mental health services, particularly the perception of stigma among those most in need of such care.

AB - The research reported herein presents the results of an empirical evaluation that focused on the accuracy and reliability of cognitive models created using a computerized tool: the cognitive analysis tool for human-computer interaction (CAT-HCI). A sample of participants, expert in interacting with a newly developed tactical display for the U.S. Army's Bradley Fighting Vehicle, individually modeled their knowledge of 4 specific tasks employing the CAT-HCI tool. Measures of the accuracy and consistency of task models created by these task domain experts using the tool were compared with task models created by a double expert.

AB - This study was designed to provide information to assist in planning health promotion and wellness programs for military trainees. During their first semester at West Point, 179 cadets completed measures of holistic wellness, perceived stress, and mattering. The highest wellness scores were in areas of social support, physical wellness, and humor. Significant negative correlations were found between perceived stress and work, realistic beliefs, and stress management. Significant positive correlations resulted between 17 wellness scales and mattering, t tests revealed only one area, work wellness, where the norm group scores exceeded those of the cadets. Cadets' scores exceeded norm group scores for perceived wellness, mattering, and seven of the Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle scales, including total self-direction. Within-group differences were identified based on gender, for four of the self-direction factors, and for age on the dimension of self-care. Implications for health promotion and wellness from the perspective of holistic wellness are considered.

AB - Background: Following the tragic events of 9/11/2001, the Pentagon Post Disaster Health Assessment (PPDHA) survey was created to identify healthcare needs and concerns among Pentagon personnel and to assure that appropriate care and information was provided. The PPDHA was fielded from October 15, 2001, to January 15, 2002. Fundamental in this assessment was the evaluation of the mental health impact as a result of the attack. Methods: Although a number of standardized instruments exist for mental health domains, most are lengthy and could not be used as a rapid health assessment. Instead, a short screening instrument consisting of 17 questions was developed that covered important mental health symptom domains, mental health functioning, and possible predictive risk factors. High-risk groups for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and alcohol abuse were assessed, and validation of risk groups was assessed across functional levels. Results: Overall, 1837 (40%) respondents met the screening criteria for any of the symptom domains of interest 1 to 4 months after the attack: PTSD (7.9%), depression (17.7%), panic attacks (23.1%), generalized anxiety (26.9%), or alcohol abuse (2.5%). Mental health risk groups were highly correlated with self-reported reduced daily functioning and use of counseling services. Additionally, risk factors known to be associated with mental health problems after traumatic events were strongly predictive of the high-risk categories identified. Conclusions: Mental health concerns were common among Pentagon employees in the 4 months after the 9/11 attack. Data from this study suggested that the short mental health screening instrument had validity and can serve as a prototype for rapid public health assessment of the mental health impact of future traumatic events.

AB - Introduction: Visual neglect is the unconscious inability to recognize or acknowledge some visual information in the presence of a structurally intact visual system, and was hypothesized to occur with less than 24 h of continuous wakefulness. Visual perception was evaluated in military pilots during a simulated overnight flight to explore for the possible occurrence of visual neglect. Methods: There were eight military pilots (male, 31-52 yr of age, mean 37 yr) on flight status who were recruited to perform the primary task of flying a simulated 12.5 h overnight mission after a day of continuous wakefulness and the secondary task of responding to repeated 20 min presentations of single- and double-light stimuli displayed in random sequence at 15° intervals across the cockpit instrument panel. In addition to the visual performance task, simulator shutdowns occurring when the tolerances of the simulator were exceeded were measured and simple reaction time on the psychomotor vigilance task was assessed. Total continuous wakefulness was 26.5 h. Results: Combined performance on the visual perception task showed response omissions increasing at 19 h of continuous wakefulness. Patterns included omissions at all stimulus locations, of primarily peripherally located stimuli, and of one of two simultaneously presented stimuli. Simulator shutdowns began at 21.5 h of continuous wakefulness. Correlation of visual task response omissions with simulator shutdowns was r = 0.95, p < 0.0001. Conclusions: Significant neglect of visual stimuli occurred in pilots beginning at 19 h of continuous wakefulness in a simulated overnight fixed wing aircraft flight, preceded simulator shutdowns, and correlated at 0.95 with simulator shutdowns.

AB - Background: A Recruit Mortality Registry, linked to the Department of Defense Medical Mortality Registry, was created to provide comprehensive medical surveillance data for deaths occurring during enlisted basic military training. Methods: Recruit deaths from 1977 through 2001 were identified and confirmed through redundant sources. Complete demographic, circumstantial, and medical information was sought for each case and recorded on an abstraction form. Mortality rates per 100,000 recruit-years were calculated by using recruit accession data from the Defense Manpower Data Center. Results: There were 276 recruit deaths from 1977 through 2001 and age-specific recruit mortality rates were less than half of same-age U.S. civilian mortality rates. Only 28% (77 of 276) of recruit deaths were classified as traumatic (suicide, unintentional injury, and homicide), in comparison to three quarters in both the overall active duty military population and the U.S. civilian population (ages 15-34 years). The age-adjusted traumatic death rates were highest in the Army (four times higher than the Navy and Air Force, and 80% higher than the Marine Corps). The majority (60%) of traumatic deaths was due to suicide, followed by unintentional injuries (35%), and homicide (5%). The overall age-adjusted traumatic mortality rate was more than triple for men compared with women in all military services (rate ratio = 3.9; p=0.01). Conclusions: There was a lower proportion of traumatic deaths in recruits compared to the overall active duty military population and same-age U.S. civilian population. This finding could be attributed to close supervision, emphasis on safety, and lack of access to alcohol and motor vehicles during recruit training.

AB - Military aviator helmet communications systems are designed to enhance speech intelligibility (SI) in background noise and reduce exposure to harmful levels of noise. Some aviators, over the course of their aviation career, develop noise-induced hearing loss that may affect their ability to perform required tasks. New technology can improve SI in noise for aviators with normal hearing as well as those with hearing loss. SI in noise scores were obtained from 40 rotary-wing aviators. There were three communications systems evaluated: a standard SPH-4B, an SPH-4B aviator helmet modified with communications earplug (CEP), and an SPH-4B modified with active noise reduction (ANR). Subjects' SI was better in noise with newer technologies than with the standard issue aviator helmet. A significant number of aviators on waivers for hearing loss performed within the range of their normal hearing counterparts when wearing the newer technology. The rank order of perceived speech clarity was 1) CEP, 2) ANR, and 3) unmodified SPH-4B. To insure optimum SI in noise for rotary-wing aviators, consideration should be given to retrofitting existing aviator helmets with new technology, and incorporating such advances in communication systems of the future.

AB - Consumption of pizza, salad and iced tea was assessed in four separate tests at a central location. Three aspects of context were added in successive tests--social interaction during consumption, the physical environment in which the food was consumed and choice among foods--so that the fourth test had all effects present. The proportion consumed averaged from 79 to 82% of the food presented and increased significantly in the presence of one or more of the context manipulations. Salad consumption was higher when there was a choice of dressings in an enhanced environment. Pizza and tea consumption were higher in an enhanced restaurant-like environment. Social interaction alone has no detectable impact on food consumption. It is concluded that people eat more in enhanced contexts and careful consideration should be given to the environment in studies of food consumption.

This chapter will discuss physiological, behavioral, and psychological factors that influence or determine the capacity to fight, and will consider metrics that can be used to measure their status. The premise of this discussion is that there is a set of physiological and psychological factors that intimately affect performance and that the relative contribution of these variables is individually unique. These factors can be identified and assessed, and are amenable to modification. A fuller understanding of these variables can lead the effort to maintain and improve performance in the adverse and challenging environments of military operations. Here, we present the key factors that are best known and understood to affect readiness and performance. First, we will consider factors within three domains of influence - predispositional, dispositional, and environmental - that correspond generally to military selection, training, and mission preparation. Each of these component factor domains is critical to military performance outcome and each can be used to guide the selection, assignment, and training of personnel to ensure preparation and readiness. Subsequent sections of this chapter will focus specifically on the issues of stress and resilience and their relationships to health and performance. Finally, we will review methods and metrics that may be particularly useful as indicants of readiness, stress, and resilience.

AB - Pew and Mavor (1998) called for an integrative representation of human behavior for use in models of individual combatants and organizations. Models with integrated representation of behavior have only been achieved at rudimentary levels according to those performing the studies (e.g. Pew & Mavor, 1998; Tulving, 2002) and those building the models (e.g. Warwick et al., 2002). This chapter will address aspects of cognitive performance that are important to incorporate into models of combat based on acceptance of theory, strength of empirical data, or for other reasons such as to bridge gaps where incomplete knowledge exists about cognitive behavior and performance. As a starting point, this chapter will assess which of Pew and Mavor's recommendations are still appropriate as determined by a review of selected literature on cognition and its representation. We will also provide some review and extensions of key literature on cognition and modeling and suggest a way ahead to close the remaining gaps. Different aspects of cognition are described with recent findings, and most are followed by an example of how they have been represented in computer models or a discussion of challenges to their representation in modeling. In this review of cognition, there are three themes that recur. First, we view cognition as a human-centered, knowledge-rich process that is intent-driven and leads to purposeful behavior. Second, models and metrics that take a pragmatic approach to thinking are seen as useful to the interpretation of theory and controlled experimentation in an operational context. Finally, we give special consideration to theory and findings that provide rationale for why human cognition operates in a particular observed way.

AB - This chapter addresses why human performance is measured within the military, from the user's perspective and from a research and development (R&D) perspective. Typical measures of individual performance within institutional and unit settings are presented, based on a selected sample of human performance domains. These measures are examined in terms of five factors that affect what is known about human performance, our ability to determine the level of expertise of soldiers, and our ability to predict performance. These factors are: the context or conditions in which the measurement is obtained; the specificity or sensitivity of the measure; the number of dimensions or aspects of performance assessed; the performance standard; and the type of score that is retained. A specific measurement can tell us a lot or a little about individual or unit performance. The nature of the measurement can also indicate whether soldiers or units were asked to perform at a very high level or at a more basic level. The costs and benefits of different performance measures are examined in terms of their value to the military commander and/or trainer, and to the R&D community. The measurement examples in this chapter are drawn from the Army. The focus is primarily on close combat and dismounted soldier behavior, although some other domains are included. Examples were selected to illustrate broad principles that underlie the complexity of measuring human performance. A broader perspective on military measures is provided elsewhere in this volume to cover measurement of human performance in all the Department of Defense Service Laboratories (see Redden et al., this volume).

AB - Technological advances in aircraft automation have revolutionized the operating environment of pilots (Billings, 1996). As more tasks originally delegated to the pilot are governed by automated systems, cognitive activity changes considerably, such that it moves away from 'perception and response' toward 'thinking and deciding' (Mosier, 2002). In light of this change in cognitive activity, research on judgment and decision-making has become increasingly relevant in its application to aviation. Research in the field of judgment and decision-making, however, has long been divided into two ostensibly opposing theoretical perspectives. On one side, the work of researchers is guided by coherence theories, which focus on the rationality of human judgment. On the other side, research is guided by correspondence theories, in which the value of judgments is based on the degree to which they reflect empirical accuracy. In this study, we examined pilot decision making in light of work by Hammond (1996a, 1996b, 2000), who proposed that judgment and decision-making research can, and should, incorporate both of these contrasting theories. Using data from voluntary incident reports, we examined pilots' use of coherence- and correspondence-based decision-making processes as a function of variables such as phase of flight, weather conditions, type of event, and level of aircraft automation. We hypothesized that, in accordance with the tenets of each theory, characteristics of the various conditions would systematically elicit either coherence- or correspondence-based decision. The findings suggested that pilots' use of decision strategy is dependent on the situational conditions and constraints present. Data suggested that weather conditions and the type of event, but not level of automation, affected the frequency of pilots employing either coherence- or correspondence-based decision strategy. Phase of flight in combination with weather conditions impacted the use of a particular decision strategy; in particular, during cruise and approach, pilot decision strategies varied as a function of weather conditions.

AB - The majority of research that exists studying juvenile sex offenders (JSOs) is dominated by the predilection that identifying risk factors associated with recidivism will benefit both the JSOs and treatment providers. Further, the majority of existing treatments are guided by research that has identified what makes JSOs more likely to reoffend. Absent from the majority of the literature is an examination of the strengths and positive characteristics demonstrated by JSOs that may prove useful in both reducing recidivism and increasing the likelihood of achieving positive outcomes (i.e., demonstrating resilience). Research examining known risk factors for sexual and nonsexual recidivism is described. Next, literature on resilience is reviewed, followed by a discussion of this literature in the context of treatment for JSOs. Finally, future directions of research are presented.

AB - Juvenile sexual offending is increasingly being recognized as a serious crime among youth. The prevalence of sexual offending and sexual reoffending suggests that many juvenile sex offenders (JSOs) may repeat their offending behaviors if not treated. However, clinical trials evaluating specific interventions are virtually nonexistent. Instead, the literature on the treatment of JSOs is marked by discussions of strategies that are hypothesized to be beneficial, as well as descriptions of treatment programs that exist across the country. Further, while existing literature suggests that treatment for JSOs may deter future sexual offending behaviors, it is unclear which, if any, aspects of these treatments promote the development of positive behaviors. A discussion of existing treatment approaches, effectiveness, and treatment considerations follows.

Providing mental health prevention services in the military, however, presents some unique challenges. It is within this context that we discuss the challenges involved in providing mental health prevention and early intervention programs to U.S. military personnel, always keeping in mind that we must balance the requirement for efficacious interventions given the risk of encountering potentially traumatic events with the cultural expectations that care will be provided. We begin by first discussing the important issue of how to evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and early intervention in military populations. Next, we critically review the several programs that the U.S. military has used or currently uses that fall within the prevention and early intervention framework. Specifically, we discuss (1) the selection and psychological screening program, (2) the psychological debriefing initiative, (3) the concept of 'PIES,' which has shaped how the U.S. military provides mental health services on the battlefield for at least the past 60 years, and (4) the emerging importance of command consultations for affecting the establishment of commandwide prevention and early intervention programs. Although our discussion is limited to the U.S. military, it is our hope that mental health care providers from the both the civilian sector as well as from other militaries will find our experiences, both our successes and our failures, useful.

As in previous RVFV outbreaks, local herdsmen reported a high incidence of abortion and disease in their livestock. Serum samples were obtained from domestic animal populations from areas near Rosso, the best studied focus of human infection, as well as other areas distant from known human disease. Among animals from the area of high incidence of human disease, antibody prevalence was as high as 85%, with approximately 80% of the sera positive for both RVFV IgG- and viral-specific IgM antibodies. In contrast, human populations in the same area had lower RVFV antibody prevalences, 40% or less, with 90% also being IgM-positive. Sera from livestock in coastal areas 280 km south of the epidemic area were negative for RVFV antibodies. Thus, the detection of RVFV specific IgG and IgM antibodies provided evidence of recent disease activity without the requirement to establish pre-disease antibody levels in populations or individuals and without viral isolation. Subsequently, detection of modest levels of IgG and IgM in the Ferlo region, 130 km south of the Senegal River flood plain, established that RVFV transmission also occurred in another area of the basin. Similar serological testing of domestic ungulates in The Gambia, 340 km south of Rosso, demonstrated antibody prevalence consistent with a lower level of recent transmission of RVFV, i.e., 24% IgG-positive with 6% of the positive sera also having RVFV-specific IgM KW - sheep KW - goats KW - cattle KW - viroses KW - rift valley fever virus KW - mauritania KW - gambia KW - senegal/ epidemics KW - diagnosis KW - immunological techniques KW - zoonoses KW - ovin KW - caprin KW - bovin KW - virose KW - virus fievre de la vallee du rift KW - mauritanie KW - gambie KW - senegal/ epidemie KW - diagnostic KW - technique immunologique KW - zoonose KW - ovinos KW - caprinos KW - ganado bovino KW - virosis KW - virus fiebre del valle del rift KW - senegal/ epidemia KW - diagnostico KW - tecnicas inmunologicas KW - zoonosis UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=FR8904950&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - JOUR AU - Linthicum, K.J.

Temperatures tested included 17 degrees C, 28 degrees C and a cyclic (17-28 degrees C) regimen designed to mimic temperatures to which a mosquito might be exposed in October in southeastern Senegal. After per oral exposure, infection rates were similar (ca. 93%) for all three groups. However, RVF virus disseminated to the haemocoel more rapidly in mosquitoes held at higher temperatures, with peak dissemination rates (ca. 80%) reached at 11, 18 and greater than 42 days after the infectious blood meal for mosquitoes held at 28 degrees C, cyclic and 17 degrees C, respectively. Likewise, the time interval between ingestion of the viremic blood meal and the first transmission by bite was inversely related to environmental temperature, with the first transmission occurring at 11, 18 and 35 days for mosquitoes held at 28 degrees C, cyclic and 17 degrees C, respectively. After being transferred from 17 to 28 degrees C on days 7 or 14 after the infectious blood meal, mosquitoes rapidly developed a disseminated infection and transmitted virus by bite within 7 days. Environmental temperature significantly affected the vectorial capacity of A. fowleri for RVF virus, with transmission occurring earlier and at a higher rate in mosquitoes held at higher temperatures KW - rift valley fever virus KW - aedes KW - senegal/ vectors KW - environmental temperature KW - zoonoses KW - virus fievre de la vallee du rift KW - senegal/ vecteur KW - temperature ambiante KW - zoonose KW - virus fiebre del valle del rift KW - senegal/ vectores KW - temperatura del medio ambiente KW - zoonosis UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=awn&AN=2756242&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - awn ER - TY - GEN AU - Siemsen, Terry T1 - Hurricane Debris Modeling.

The U.S. Army was interested in helping bases to divert their MSW volumes from landfills. An MSW conversion system developed by Bouldin & Lawson LLC has been used to divert household garbage into a nutrient-rich fluffy material that can be used as a soil amendment or a composite-plastic like lumber. The three phases of the conversion process are size reduction of raw waste, cooking of reduced waste materials and conversion of materials into end products.

Sixteen asymptomatic subjects, of whom 8 had recently experienced chloroquine treatment failures, received 250 mg. of tetracycline HCl, 4 times daily for 10 days. A presumptive radical cure was demonstrated in 12. In the other 4, treatment was discontinued within 72 hours because of symptomatic development. Acutely ill subjects were assigned to one of 2 treatment groups. One group received 640 mg. of quinine sulfate, 3 times daily for 3 days, followed by 250 mg. of tetracycline HCl, 4 times daily for 10 days. The other group received a similar course of quinine followed by a conventional course of chloroquine. A presumptive radical cure was demonstrated in 29 of 30 treated with the quinine-tetracycline regimen, and in 15 of 36 treated with the quinine-chloroquine regimen.

It is also a crucial requirement for athletic events and activities. Deterioration in this postural control mechanism is termed postural instability and results in increased postural sway. Decrements in postural sway have been documented following a 15.5-mile run. It remains to be seen whether a shorter distance run will cause a similar decrease in postural control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 2-mile run on postural sway in healthy subjects. Forty-four healthy subjects were assigned to an experimental group (2-mile run) or a control group. Postural sway was measured before and after the run with the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and a clinical balance test called the Military Academy Stance Test. There was a significant before-after run Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index (p < 0.05) and Military Academy Stance Test index (p < 0.05) increase in the experimental group. There was no significant change for the control group. It was concluded that a 2-mile run does produce a significant increase in postural sway as measured using the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and Military Academy Stance Test.

AB - Introduction: Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®) is an effective fatigue countermeasure for use in military subject pilots who are deprived of sleep. Anecdotal reports have indicated Dexedrine (Dex) is effective in 'real world' sustained operations, and controlled laboratory tests have yielded positive results as well. The aim of this study was to substantiate the efficacy of Dex for sustaining the alertness and performance of pilots during periods of sleep deprivation by showing the robust effects of the medication and its consistent effects across several research efforts. Methods: In the present report, selected data from several controlled aviation studies were reviewed and combined to corroborate the efficacy of Dex as a fatigue countermeasure. Results: The results showed Dex to be effective for maintaining flight skills, psychological mood, and physiological activation (measured via electroencephalograph data) in sleep-deprived pilots. The positive benefits of the medication were not offset by marked disruptions in recovery sleep, although some negative effects were observed (sleep was lighter for several hours following drug administration). Conclusions: Dex is a viable remedy for fatigue in aviation sustained operations.

AB - Urban combat is one of the most extreme environments imaginable. Our paper describes training and simulation research to improve the training of small teams that operate on foot in urban combat and stability operations. We present an overview of urban combat as an extreme environment. Next, we trace the history of the training and technology developments that shaped our present research. The focus of our paper is the After Action Review (AAR) process as applied to small team exercises conducted in immersive virtual environments. A PC-based AAR system is described and examples are given of its use for training and training research. The training emphasizes practice of command and control skills, decision making, and situation awareness. Future research goals are outlined. Current live training capabilities are described to provide a context of the overall training environment with which virtual training systems will be integrated.

Some investigators have argued that the use of more highly focused job, work and organization facets can reveal patterns not captured by more global measures, and thus resolve some of these contradictory results. Using a sample of almost 1200 Singaporeans, the current study first examined the relationship between quit intentions and global measures of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, within each of four groups (male non-managers, male managers, female non-managers and female managers). As hypothesized, the global measures were highly and similarly correlated to an individual's intention to quit in all four groups, suggesting no gender/job-level effects. However, when we substituted a set of eleven specific facet measures in place of the two global measures, a unique facet pattern for each group emerged, as hypothesized. Discussion centred on some cautions in interpreting the research and the need for fully developed theoretical models to guide facet research.

AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) is concerned about how well military medical treatment facilities in the military health system perform. Patient expectations, attitudes, and health care use have been examined in numerous studies; the results are fairly consistent. Eligible beneficiaries report moderate satisfaction with the health care received. In 1994-2001, annual DoD and monthly ambulatory patient surveys were conducted in military medical treatment facilities. The DoD surveys document how patients perceive the care provided. The obvious research concerns are: requirements for conducting surveys; who should be surveyed: eligible beneficiaries or actual users; when; where; representative sample; how often to conduct assessment; data collection methods; analytic schemes; overall trends; predictors of satisfaction; use of results; and timeliness of findings. This study examines these issues and analyzes raw data from selected annual DoD and monthly ambulatory surveys. The overall level of perceived satisfaction has been 'good' over the years surveys were used. The model demonstrated the use of examining demographic and attitudinal components of patient satisfaction in military medical facilities.

AB - This study examined the combined impact of individual-level and group-level variables on self-reported intimate partner violence, operationally defined as mild to severe physical aggression on the Modified Conflict Tactics Scale, among married male U.S. Army soldiers. The sample comprised 713 servicemen from 27 companies stationed at an Army post in the Alaskan interior. Group-level variables were based on individual reports on various dimensions of group climate aggregated at the company level. Contextual analyses were conducted using a variety of regression approaches. Individual-level predictor variables significantly associated with intimate partner violence included race, symptoms of depression, poor marital adjustment, alcohol problems, and a history of childhood abuse. Group-level predictor variables significantly associated with intimate partner violence included lower leadership support (vertical cohesion), a culture of hyper-masculinity (operationally defined as increased group disrespect), and lower support for spouses.

AB - In an effort to construct a framework for understanding leadership development (LD), this paper examines the available evidence regarding exactly what organizations attempt to develop under the rubric of LD, and how they attempt to develop it. After considering the conceptual and practical implications associated with various LD perspectives, the paper builds on the notion of leadership as 'incremental ' influence (Katz & Kahn, 1978) to propose a more precise approach to LD. This more precise approach argues that LD is the process of acquiring particular personal qualities and skills that create influence independent of the individual’s positional influence. The paper then suggests how this more precise view provides a useful lens for organizations interested in assessing their LD undertakings.

AB - U.S. Army field grade officers who had attended two military schools evaluated two learning environments. For a majority of variables studied, the subjects reported higher satisfaction with institutional support at Fort Leavenworth as opposed to the other site. Satisfaction with that institutional report was strongly related to satisfaction with lodging used (hotels), quality of instruction, and the culture of an active duty installation. Most of the subjects (72-82%) expressed a preference for attending the Command and General Staff College course at Fort Leavenworth, if given a choice.

AB - Smoking is a major determinant of health status and outcomes. Current smoking has been associated with lower scores on the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36). Whether this occurs among the elderly and disabled Medicare populations is not known. This study assessed the relationships between smoking status and both physical and mental functioning in the Medicare managed-care population. During the spring of 1998, data were collected from 134,309 elderly and 8640 disabled Medicare beneficiaries for Cohort 1, Round 1 of the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey. In the result, among the disabled, everyday and someday smokers had lower standardized physical component (PCS) and mental component (MCS) scores than never smokers (-2.4 to -4.5 points; p < 0.01 for all). Among the elderly, the lowest PCS and MCS scores were seen among recent quitters (- 5.1 and -3.7 points, respectively, below those for never smokers; p < 0.01 for both), but current smokers also had significantly lower scores on both scales. In the conclusion, the elderly and disabled Medicare populations, smokers report worse physical and mental functional status than never smokers. Long-term quitters have better functional status than those who still smoke.

AB - We tested the hypothesis that pyridostigmine bromide (PB) intake and/or low-level sarin exposure, suggested by some as causes of the symptoms experienced by Persian Gulf War veterans, induce neurobehavioral dysfunction that outlasts their effects on cholinesterase. Rats were treated during 3 wks with s.c. saline, PB in drinking water, sarin, or PB in drinking water + sarin. Animals were tested for passive avoidance, nociceptive threshold, acoustic startle, and open field activity 2, 4, or 16 wks after treatment. Results for passive avoidance, nociceptive threshold, acousting startle, and open field activity are given. Brain regional acetylcholinesterase and cholineacetyltransferase activities were not affected at any time after treatment, but muscarinic receptors were down-regulated in hippocampus, caudate putamen, and mesencephalon in the sarin group at 2 wks. The results of this study give further support to the use of PB against nerve agent poisoning and do not support the hypothesis that delayed symptoms experienced by Persian Gulf War veterans could be due to PB, alone or in association with low-level sarin exposure.

AB - Determined whether a hypnotic taken before daytime sleep would improve sleep quality, and to determine whether improved daytime sleep would increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and mitigate the usual performance decrements which occur on night shift. 16 UH-60 Army aviators (aged 26-44 yrs) were randomly assigned to either a temazepam or a placebo group. Test sessions, consisting of vigilance assessments, flight simulation, and mood state questionnaires were administered during baseline, 3 nights of reverse cycle, and 3 days following a return to day shift. Temazepam was administered before daytime sleep to one group while another group received a lactose-filled capsule. Subjects who received temazepam slept longer and with less fragmentation than those who received placebo. Generally, the subjects in the temazepam group indicated more subjective alertness and less fatigue than those in the placebo group. Flight performance was not unequivocally improved by better daytime sleep, but the temazepam group performed better on the Psychomotor Vigilance Task than the placebo group. Temazepam is helpful in prolonging daytime sleep, with some attenuation of performance decrements during the night shift.

AB - At the 2002 World Conference on Injury Prevention in Montreal, researchers in England reported on a study comparing the use of several types of smoke alarms in 2000 homes in a London neighborhood (Curtis et al., 2002). Fifteen months after the alarms were installed, the researchers found that regardless of the type of alarm, nearly half were no longer functioning. Why? Many recipients described being annoyed that the alarms sounded while they were cooking or on other non-alarm occasions. Others misunderstood the low battery signals or reported a lack of understanding of smoke alarms in general. Such misunderstanding and misuse/disuse of smoke alarms can have disastrous consequences. Research in the field of human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) on the use of sound in warnings of many kinds has shown that people are likely to disarm auditory alarms if they are extremely loud and distracting, are sounded frequently, or do not connote danger or urgency when they are sounded. Researchers found that proper alarm design—including the correct use of signal frequency, level, duration, and repetition—can reduce alarm misuse and decrease accidents. A better understanding of sound ergonomics on the part of smoke alarm manufacturers might result in an increase in the number of functioning alarms not only in London but all over the world. The need for a better understanding of and appreciation for the ergonomics of sound has reached a critical level, and not just in the area of auditory alarms. Sound-related technologies and products play an increasingly significant role in living and working environments. Automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis are used daily by millions of people in applications such as telephone directory assistance. The news media describe the hazards of increasingly noisy surroundings and the need to protect people living or working in these environments. Not only HF/E professionals but also those in telecommunications, computer systems, law, consumer products, health care, safety engineering, and industrial hygiene would benefit from greater awareness of what the HF/E field has revealed about sound in many applications. Over the past 15 years, a great deal of research and development work has been carried out and reported at annual meetings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) involving the design and implementation of sound in human-system interfaces. These papers cover a broad range of sound-related applications including auditory warnings, noise, and hearing protectors and encompass emerging technologies such as speech recognition, speech synthesis, and spatial audio displays. We are pleased to offer this outstanding collection of papers on the ergonomics of sound to encourage a broader distribution of these works within and outside HFES. The selection of papers are from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meetings, 1985-2000.

The article includes a discussion of how the cycles of mental health reform (moral treatment, mental hygiene, and community mental health) have influenced not only the roles but also the actual practices of social workers. The article concludes with a consideration of the impact of managed care on mental health policy and the implications for social work.

Three groups of air defence guards (ADGs) received either: freshly prepared foods (fresh group, 15 mega joule (MJ), 3,600 kcal, N = 13), full CRP (15 MJ, 3,600 kcal, N = 10), or one-half CRP (7.5 MJ, 1,800 kcal, N = 10). Underconsumption by the full CRP group resulted in CRP groups experiencing similar weight loss, protein catabolism, and immune suppression (both cell-mediated and humoral), whereas the fresh group maintained their weight and protein balance and cell-mediated immune status. CRP groups reported greater fatigue than the fresh group. All ADGs experienced poor sleep quality and declining folate and iron status. ADGs drank insufficient water to prevent dehydration. In the medium term, ADGs were able to adapt to restricted food consumption and poor sleep quality with no decrement in physical fitness or cognition.

AB - Assess the health behaviors of U.S. Army Rangers, including their diet and physical activity patterns, and their use of alcohol, tobacco, and nutritional supplements. Army Rangers ( N = 38) completed selected self-report and food frequency questionnaires, and anthropometrie measures (height, weight, circumferences) were taken. Dietary patterns were collected from questionnaires that asked respondents to report the frequency of usual consumption from a list of foods over a period of 1 year. The data collected indicated a diet high in fat (38.0% of energy) and low in carbohydrates (41.9%). Protein intake (17.9% of energy) was consistent with recommendations for endurance and strength training athletes. Hours engaged in physical activity averaged 12 per week. Overall, 76% of the volunteers reported using alcohol on a regular basis, and 52.6% used some form of tobacco: 50% reported using either snuff or chewing tobacco. The use of supplements was high with 13% taking creatine and ephedrine products on a regular basis. Although physical activity patterns indicated a high level of activity, dietary and other health behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol use, and patterns of supplement use, suggest that health education programs may be important in this select Army population.

AB - 12 rifle-trained military reservists (7 men and 5 women) were tested on their marksmanship skills using a small arms simulator. Ss conducted 3 trials in an environmentally controlled chamber, 1 wk apart in a counter-balanced order. Trial conditions were neutral (N), hot (H), and cold (C), and all were preceded with an immersion in water to chest level to establish thermal strain or to maintain thermal neutrality prior to shooting. Ss fired a C7 rifle at various targets during 16 5-min engagements over 2 h. Targets were presented either as moving in an urban setting or as pop-ups in a lane setting. Body temperatures, heart rate, saliva cortisol concentration, subjective ratings, and measures of marksmanship accuracy and precision were recorded and analyzed using a repeated measures design. Body temperatures were consistent with the subjective indices of heat illness, cold discomfort, and muscle discomfort. Cortisol concentration and perceived exertion were higher during H. Surprisingly, thermal strain did not degrade marksmanship. Instead, some aspects of precision (horizontal displacement) and accuracy (shooting error) were poorer during N compared with H and C.

AB - Examined participant perceptions of the Tripler Army Medical Center smoking cessation program. 144 individuals (mean age 36.0 yrs) attempting to quit smoking were assisted with a combination of cognitive-behavioral group therapy and sustained-release bupropion hydrochloride. Subjects (Ss) completed surveys 6 mo following completion of the program concerning smoking abstinence. Results show that 35% of Ss remained abstinent from smoking 6 mo following the intervention. A significantly greater percentage of males quit compared with females. There were no significant differences of abstinence rates by any other demographic characteristic or smoking history variable. It is concluded that family practice physicians and health psychologists providing a combination of pharmacological and group cognitive-behavior therapy for nicotine dependence are effective in promoting abstinence from smoking.

AB - Examined the perceptions of dental personnel of the Prevention of Abuse and Neglect through Dental Awareness (PANDA) program. PANDA is a family violence awareness initiative implemented by the US Army Dental Command's Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Program. The PANDA program augments the Army Family Advocacy Program and gives dental-specific knowledge to providers. 254 dental providers undergoing a 1-hr PANDA training seminar completed questionnaires concerning perceptions of the training program. Results show that 71% of PANDA training subjects (Ss) reported having previous training in family violence, whereas only 44% were knowledgeable about military regulations governing abuse and neglect. 96% of Ss reported having high or moderate levels of awareness of Army regulations concerning abuse and neglect.

AB - Early fixed-wing research demonstrated that potential cost and training benefits could be derived from simulation-augmented primary flight training. More recent research in this area has been the exception, not the rule. This is especially true for rotary-wing aircrew training research. Currently, the U.S. Army does not use simulation in the primary (contact) phase of initial entry rotary-wing (IERW) training. Research performed by the Army Research Institute showed that a combination of synthetic flight simulation and criterion-based training during the primary phase of IERW had the potential for saving training time and costs in the aircraft. This research was performed using a low-cost simulator based upon the UH-1 helicopter. In the 4 quasi-experiments reported, positive transfer effectiveness ratios (TERs) were observed for most flight maneuvers pretrained in the simulator; student pilots in the simulator group required fewer iterations than control participants to reach proficiency on most flight maneuvers in the UH-1 training aircraft. As the visual display and flight modeling systems were upgraded, greater TERs were observed, and differences among groups tended to become significant.

AB - Reviews the literature on health surveillance conducted during military deployments, focusing on models for assessing the impact of operational deployments on peacekeepers. A discussion of the stressors and potential mental health consequences of peacekeeping operations follows with relevant examples of findings from US and international military forces. Psychological screening in different peacekeeping operations conducted in US Army-Europe is reviewed. The review begins with the redeployment screening of military personnel deployed to Bosnia mandated under the Joint Medical Surveillance Program, and continues through the present screening of units deployed to Kosovo. The detailed description of the screening program includes a discussion of procedures and measures and demonstrates the evolution of the program. It is concluded that it is possible to implement a large-scale screening program that can effectively identify soldiers requiring referral.

However, whether in the United States where local emergency medical systems and ambulance services are typically robust or overseas where they may not be so mature, these disasters tend to produce relatively standard and predictable consequences. The timeline for the response and the physical and psychiatric injuries they produce have been well described in the literature, can be modeled, and can prove to be invaluable to medical planners and operators. This article reviews selected aspects on how this information helped prepare and oversee medical responders to the plane crash at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, highlighting the command and control aspects of the disaster response. Understanding the setting better facilitates the lessons learned in providing mental health support to this horrific event.

AB - Changes in human articulation, as quantified by timed variations in acoustic waveforms of specific spoken words (voice onset time; VOT), are correlated with the severity of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). This study evaluates using speech motor control as a method to accurately quantify AMS symptom severity. 15 female subjects (Ss) were exposed to a simulated altitude of 4300 meters in a hypobaric chamber for 48 hrs. Speech motor control was determined from digitally recorded and analyzed timing patterns of 30 different monosyllabic words characterized as voiced and unvoiced, and as labial, alveolar, or velar. Significant AMS symptoms occurred after 4 hrs, peaked at 16 hrs, and returned toward baseline after 48 hrs. Labial VOTs were shorter after 4 and 39 hrs of exposure; velar VOTs were altered only after 4 hrs; and there were no changes in alveolar VOTs. Vowel sound duration was increased after 4 hrs of exposure and returned to normal thereafter for all but 1 S. The 39-hr labial and velar voiced-unvoiced timed separations consonants and the symptoms of AMS were significantly correlated. It is concluded that alterations in speech production may represent an objective measure of AMS and central vulnerability to hypoxia.

AB - The current report describes a procedure for training and assessing complex decision-making in a virtual environment. Focusing on small unit leaders, 7 experienced and 7 inexperienced Army platoon leaders (all males) performed missions in a combat simulator, where they were required to direct the activities of 3 subordinate leaders and computer-generated forces in 4 different operations in a virtual urban setting. Objective and subjective assessments of the training value of the simulations showed that both experienced an inexperienced platoon leaders improved their decision-making across the four missions, and both groups rated this 'virtual environment' training procedure as useful and positive. Lessons learned and implications for designing similar training protocols for other domains are discussed.

AB - Notes that within the sociology of science, there exists a substantial literature showing that males, on average, publish more than females. This literature directs attention toward organizational contexts and the timing of publication as promising factors bearing on cumulative scholarship outcomes. In this inquiry, based on 2,910 persons who received doctorates in sociology between 1972 and 1976, the authors attempt to isolate the importance of organizational context to explain the emergent and cumulative sex differences in publication outcomes. The findings reveal that existing scholarship differences between males and females in this cohort occur within the first 6 yrs of the doctorate and continue throughout the career as a result of different employment patterns and publication trajectories. Notably, the authors find support for R. Merton's contention that context structures the display of individual merit.

AB - Signal detection theory was applied to an experiment that exmined the effects of feedback on self report bias and accuracy in asimulated work setting. Manipulating combined feedback on task performance and self-reports resulted in increased task performance and self-report accuracy, but did not systematically affect self-report bias. This research shows promise for determining the variables of which self-report behavior is a function in organizational settings where more objective sources of data are impractical, unethical, or not readily available. Implications for the provenance of self-report considerations for behavioral applications in organizational settings are also addressed.

AB - The primary purpose of this chapter is to review existing theory and research on goal-setting with the intent of better understanding the goal-setting process and how to maximize the effectiveness of setting goals in sport. In the first section we define goal-setting, clarifying what goals are, their primary psychological functions, and the role of goals. In the second section we review theory and research on goal-setting. The third section focuses on why goals work less effectively in sport. In the fourth section we describe a revised competitive goal-setting model and briefly review both model predictions and research testing model predictions in sport. The fifth section outlines several important measurement issues that currently limit goal research and practical implementation. Finally, in the last section we address future directions in goal-setting research, highlighting five important issues that seemingly have an impact on goal effectiveness.

The founding of the periodical coincided with notable accomplishments of the society, including the establishment of the Technical Committee on Software Engineering and the start of a series of conferences which became known as the International Conference on Software Engineering. These moves placed the society at the forefront of what has proven to be a critical technology area and have provided the visibility and focus for software engineering as a viable discipline. Since its establishment, the magazine has become one of the most highly valued journals dealing with software. In three decades, three editors-in-chief have provided the leadership in guiding the periodical to the status it enjoyed at present. With the periodical's tenth anniversary issue, it published articles that reflect where software technology has gone and what the future direction of software engineering will be.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 141 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 379 SN - 00223166 AB - The effects of dietary calcium (Ca) deficiency on skeletal integrity are well characterized in growing and mature mammals; however, less is known about Ca nutrition during the neonatal period. In this study, we examined the effects of neonatal Ca nutrition on bone integrity, endocrine hormones, and mesenchymal stem cell IMSC) activity. Neonatal pigs (24 ± 6 h of age) received either a Ca-adequate (1.2 g/100 g) or an ∼40% Ca-deficient diet for 18 d. Ca deficiency reduced (P < 0.05) bone flexural strength and bone mineral density without major differences in plasma indicators of Ca status. There were no meaningful differences in plasma Ca, phosphate (PO4), parathyroid hormone, or 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol due to Ca nutrition throughout the study. Calcium deficiency also reduced (P < 0.05) the in vivo proliferation of MSC by ∼50%. In vitro studies utilizing homologous sera demonstrated that MSC activity was affected (P < 0.05) by both the Ca status of the pig and the sera as well as by their interaction. The results indicate that neonatal Ca nutrition is crucial for bone integrity and suggest that early-life Ca restriction may have long-term effects on bone integrity via programming of MSC.

JO - Journal of Composite Materials JF - Journal of Composite Materials Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 45 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1217 EP - 1231 SN - 00219983 AB - Aramid and aramid copolymer fibers are used in a wide variety of military and civilian applications; however, the long-term effects of environmental exposure on tensile properties are still not well understood. The current effort investigates the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the tensile properties of Kevlar® KM2 ®, Twaron®, and the newly available Russian copolymer, Armos® high performance fibers. Moisture uptake studies show that at room temperature, water diffuses more slowly into the copolymer Armos ® (D = 8.7 × 10-13 cm2/s) compared to the Kevlar® KM2® and Twaron® homopolymers (D = 2.16 × 10-12 cm2/s and D = 1.8 × 10 -12 cm2/s, respectively). Tensile properties have been measured for these aramid fibers that have been conditioned in water at 40°C, 60°C, 80°C, and 100°C for periods of 17 and 34 days. For both aramid and aramid copolymer fibers, hygrothermal conditioning did not significantly change fiber tensile properties below 80°C. At the most extreme condition of 100°C, 34 days, aramid fibers showed significant loss of tensile strength (58% for KM2 and 34% for Twaron®), while a reduction in tensile strength of 13% (Armos®) was observed for aramid copolymer (Armos®) fibers. Conditioned fibers exhibited no significant change in mass as a result of the conditioning procedure and FTIR spectroscopy results did not indicate signs of chemical or thermo-oxidative change due to hygrothermal conditioning. These results suggest that in aramid fibers, the primary mechanism of degradation at temperatures between 80°C and 100 °C is due to the ingress and egress of moisture in the highly ordered core structure of the fiber. The presence of water in the intercrystalline regions of the fiber core enable segmental chain motion that can relax tie molecules, alter crystal orientation, and change apparent crystallite size. Because of differences in molecular architecture and phase morphology, the aramid copolymer, Armos®, is less susceptible to degradation of tensile properties under these conditions.

JO - Journal of Infectious Diseases JF - Journal of Infectious Diseases Y1 - 2011/08/16/2011 Supplement 3 VL - 204 M3 - Article SP - S1043 EP - S1052 SN - 00221899 AB - The mechanisms of Ebola (EBOV) pathogenesis are only partially understood, but the dysregulation of normal host immune responses (including destruction of lymphocytes, increases in circulating cytokine levels, and development of coagulation abnormalities) is thought to play a major role. Accumulating evidence suggests that much of the observed pathology is not the direct result of virus-induced structural damage but rather is due to the release of soluble immune mediators from EBOV-infected cells. It is therefore essential to understand how the candidate therapeutic may be interrupting the disease process and/or targeting the infectious agent. To identify genetic signatures that are correlates of protection, we used a DNA microarray-based approach to compare the host genome-wide responses of EBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) responding to candidate therapeutics. We observed that, although the overall circulating immune response was similar in the presence and absence of coagulation inhibitors, surviving NHPs clustered together. Noticeable differences in coagulation-associated genes appeared to correlate with survival, which revealed a subset of distinctly differentially expressed genes, including chemokine ligand 8 (CCL8/MCP-2), that may provide possible targets for early-stage diagnostics or future therapeutics. These analyses will assist us in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of EBOV infection and in identifying improved therapeutic strategies.

The syringe contained Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) mixed with Freund's adjuvant. Neither an approved treatment nor a postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) exists for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Following a risk-benefit assessment, it was recommended the exposed person take an experimental vaccine that had shown PEP efficacy in ZEBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) [12]. The vaccine, which had not been used previously in humans, was a live-attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (recVSV) expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV. A single dose of 5 × 107 plaque-forming units was injected 48 hours after the accident. The vaccinee developed fever 12 hours later and recVSV viremia was detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 2 days. Otherwise, the person remained healthy, and ZEBOV RNA, except for the glycoprotein gene expressed in the vaccine, was never detected in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the 3-week observation period.

In particular, novel sensor placement techniques are presented to detect the length of a crack in ground vehicles. These techniques are designed to provide vibration characteristics for structures that have both cracks and structural variability. Such techniques are needed because structural variability affects the mode shapes of a structure, and thus the optimal sensor locations for detecting cracks are affected. Two key approaches are developed and used: (1) PROMs, and (2) BMA. Based on PROMs and BMA, a novel sensor placement is proposed to determine the optimal sensor locations for complex structures with cracks and structural variability. The information from the sensors can be used to determine variations in the mode shapes of the structure for different crack lengths. The variation in mode shapes can then be used to identify the crack length. Numerical results are presented for a ground vehicle frame. The sensor placement method is applied first to find the optimal sensor locations in the presence of parameter variability, and then to identify the length of a crack.

Previous investigators have demonstrated that maximum output levels from headphones can exceed safe levels. Although preferred listening levels (PLL) in quiet environments may be at acceptable levels, the addition of background noise will add to the overall noise exposure of a listener. Use of listening devices that block out some of the background noise would potentially allow listeners to select lower PLLs for their music. Although one solution is in-the-ear earphones, an alternative solution is the use of earmuffs in conjunction with earbuds. Purpose: There were two objectives to this experiment. The first was to determine if an alternative to in-the- ear earphones for noise attenuation (the addition of earmuffs to earbuds) would allow for lower PLLs through a portable media player (PMP) than earbuds. The second was to determine if a surrounding background noise would yield different PLLs than a directional noise source. Research Design: This was an experimental study. Study Sample: Twenty-four adults with normal hearing. Data Collection and Analysis: PLLs were measured for three earphone configurations in three listening conditions. The earphone configurations included earbuds, canal earphones, and earbuds in combination with hearing protection devices (HPDs). The listening conditions included quiet, noise from one loudspeaker, and noise from four surrounding loudspeakers. Participants listened in each noise and earphone combination for as long as they needed to determine their PLL for that condition. Once the participant determined their PLL, investigators made a 5 sec recording of the music through a probe tube microphone. The average PLLs in each noise and earphone combination were used as the dependent variable. Ear canal level PLLs were converted to free-field equivalents to compare to noise exposure standards and previously published data. Results: The average PLL as measured in the ear canal was 74 dBA in the quiet conditions and 84 dBA in the noise conditions. Paired comparisons of the PLL in the presence of background noise for each pair of earphone configurations indicated significant differences for each comparison. An inverse relationship was observed between attenuation and PLL whereby the greater the attenuation, the lower the PLL. A comparison of the single noise source condition versus the surrounding noise condition did not result in a significant effect. Conclusion: The present work suggests that earphones that take advantage of noise attenuation can reduce the level at which listeners set music in the presence of background noise. An alternative to in-the-ear earphones for noise attenuation is the addition of earmuffs to earbuds.

The Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America harbours many rare and endemic species, yet their evolution is poorly understood. We investigate the rare Sandhills lily ( Lilium pyrophilum), which is endemic to seepage slopes in a restricted area of the Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America. Using phylogenetic evidence from chloroplast, nuclear internal transcribed spacer and two low-copy nuclear genes, we establish a close relationship between L. pyrophilum and the widespread Turk's cap lily, L. superbum. Isolation-with-migration and coalescent simulation analyses suggest that (i) the divergence between these two species falls in the late Pleistocene or Holocene and almost certainly post-dates the establishment of the edaphic conditions to which L. pyrophilum is presently restricted, (ii) vicariance is responsible for the present range disjunction between the two species, and that subsequent gene flow has been asymmetrical and (iii) L. pyrophilum harbours substantial genetic diversity in spite of its present rarity. This system provides an example of the role of edaphic specialization and climate change in promoting diversification in the Atlantic coastal plain.

JO - Molecular Ecology JF - Molecular Ecology Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 19 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 4302 EP - 4314 SN - 09621083 AB - The general phylogeographical paradigm for eastern North America (ENA) is that many plant and animal species retreated into southern refugia during the last glacial period, then expanded northward after the last glacial maximum (LGM). However, some taxa of the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain (GACP) demonstrate complex yet recurrent distributional patterns that cannot be explained by this model. For example, eight co-occurring endemic plant taxa with ranges from New York to South Carolina exhibit a large disjunction separating northern and southern populations by >300 km. Pyxidanthera (Diapensiaceae), a plant genus that exhibits this pattern, consists of two taxa recognized as either species or varieties. We investigated the taxonomy and phylogeography of Pyxidanthera using morphological data, cpDNA sequences, and amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. Morphological characters thought to be important in distinguishing Pyxidanthera barbulata and P. brevifolia demonstrate substantial overlap with no clear discontinuities. Genetic differentiation is minimal and diversity estimates for northern and southern populations of Pxyidanthera are similar, with no decrease in rare alleles in northern populations. In addition, the northern populations harbour several unique cpDNA haplotypes. Pyxidanthera appears to consist of one morphologically variable species that persisted in or near its present range at least through the latter Pleistocene, while the vicariance of the northern and southern populations may be comparatively recent. This work demonstrates that the refugial paradigm is not always appropriate and GACP endemic plants, in particular, may exhibit phylogeographical patterns qualitatively different from those of other ENA plant species.

Personnel (n = 24) were divided a priori into high, moderate, and low exposure groups. Questionnaires and personal air samples (breathing zone) were collected from each worker over 3 consecutive days (72 worker-days) and analyzed for total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalene. Air samples were collected from inside the fuel tank and analyzed for the same analytes. Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the exposure data. Our results show that the correlation of THC (a measure of overall JP8 inhalation exposure) with all other analytes was moderate to strong in the a priori high and moderate exposure groups combined. Inhalation exposure to all analytes varied significantly by self-reported JP8 exposure (THC levels higher among workers reporting JP8 exposure), a priori exposure group (THC levels in high group > moderate group > low group), and more specific job task groupings (THC levels among workers in fuel systems hangar group > refueling maintenance group > fuel systems office group > fuel handling group > clinic group), with task groupings explaining the most between-worker variability. Among highly exposed workers, statistically significant job task-related predictors of inhalation exposure to THC indicated that increased time in the hangar, working close to the fuel tank (inside > less than 25 ft > greater than 25 ft), primary job (entrant > attendant/runner/fireguard > outside hangar), and performing various tasks near the fuel tank, such as searching for a leak, resulted in higher JP8 exposure. This study shows that while a priori exposure groups were useful in distinguishing JP8 exposure levels, job task-based categories should be considered in epidemiologic study designs to improve exposure classification. Finally, the strong correlation of THC with naphthalene suggests that naphthalene may be an appropriate surrogate of JP8 exposure. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

Sex, level of competition, and exposure to sport were among risk factors analyzed.Results: Among 20 336 person-years, 1206 cadets sustained ankle sprain. Syndesmotic (6.7%) and medial (5.1%) ankle sprains had an incidence rate (IR) of 4.8 and 3.5 per 1000 person-years, respectively. Compared with women, men were 3 times more likely to experience medial ankle sprain (IR ratio [IRR] 3.37; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 10.74], but there was no difference in rate of syndesmotic sprains by sex (IRR 1.06; 95% CI: 0.58, 1.95). Athletics accounted for 81% of syndesmotic sprains and 64% of medial sprains. Sprint football (52.3), team handball (men’s, 34.7), soccer (men’s, 30.5; women’s, 6.5), and basketball (men’s, 24.8; women’s, 6.7) had the highest syndesmotic IR per 100 000 athlete-exposures. Medial sprain IR was highest in men’s rugby (16.6) and gymnastics (14.0). When analyzed by athlete-exposure, male intercollegiate athletes had a greater risk of syndesmotic sprain than their female counterparts (3.53; 95% CI: 1.26, 9.83). Furthermore, intercollegiate level of competition had an increased risk of syndesmotic sprain when compared with intramural level (IRR 2.41; 95% CI: 1.03, 5.65).Conclusion: Male athletes have an over threefold greater risk of medial ankle sprain. Male sex and higher level of competition are risk factors for syndesmotic ankle sprain during athletics.

AB - This study assessed the effects of spatialized sound presentation on a listener's ability to monitor target (T) messages in the presence of competing (C) messages and high-level background noise (BGN). In a simulated military environment, 8 participants (aged 19-22 yrs) wore two-channel, active noise reduction (ANR) equipped helmets and listened to combinations of T and C messages. T messages were presented synchronously with 0, 1, 2, and 3 C messages in 4 listening modes: (a) BGN + diotic, (b) BGN + dichotic, (c) BGN + spatial audio, and (d) quiet + spatial audio. Best overall performance occurred in the spatialized modes (c and d) and poorest in the diotic mode (a). As expected, speech recognition was better in quiet than in BGN when multiple C messages were present. Findings indicate that message spatialization in acoustic space improves auditory performance during times of heavy message competition, even in high-level noise. The proposed technology has numerous applications, such as multichannel communications in tactical operations centers, monitoring of complex security systems, and air traffic control.

AB - The purpose of this study was to construct and evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument to estimate the level of individual readiness among US Army nurses. This study constitutes phase II of congressionally sponsored research to establish the degree to which Army nurses are prepared for the expectations of deployment. An expert panel established the validity of the initial readiness questionnaire. Changes were then incorporated into the 1st Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index (READI) questionnaire. Internal consistency and test-retest techniques assessed multiple reliabilities from pilot administrations. The READI was refined based on the results. Analysis of field administrations of the revised READI to 3 separate groups of 93 nurses replicated earlier reliability results. Principle component analyses appear to support the hypothesized dimensional structure underlying questionnaire attitude items. The READI produced psychometrically stable ratings and results with great utility for the Army and potential adaptation for other military services.

AB - As an alternative to the current Department of Defense approach to health promotion and related research, which is critiqued in Part I of this article, the authors present a new, integrative health promotion and wellness model. This age-graded model incorporates successful aging, targeted health promotion, and spirituality in the context of the developmental perspective provided by life course constructs. By using an age-graded, multidisciplinary system of assessment, intervention, and follow-up in the context of preparing military personnel and families for the next season of life, this model advocates the prevention of disease and disability, active engagement with life, the maximization of high cognitive and physical functioning, and positive spirituality. Preliminary, selected illustrations from a variation of this model at the US Army War College are provided. Progressive extrapolation of the model to other military leadership schools is proposed as a more efficacious health promotion strategy for the Department of Defense.

Armed Forces has changed from that of single members living in barracks, to one of a diverse volunteer workforce with growing numbers of female service members, working spouses, and sole and dual military parents. Child care has become a workforce issue vital to U. S. Army Navy, Air Force, and marine families and to the military mission. 50% of the children in military child care programs are under age three, and this article describes the military's approach to providing flexible, high-quality, affordable infant and toddler child care. The children in military families are served through a delivery system that includes child development centers, networks of family child care homes operated in government housing units and off base, and programs for school-age children. The transformation of military child care from a disgrace to a national model came about by focusing attention and resources on three cornerstones: quality, affordability, and availability-each documented in measurable outcomes. Infant care is notoriously scarce and expensive, and it is a challenge to provide it in a way that meets professional standards of quality.

Issue Publication Date: Feb, 2001. AB - Sex differences in mental rotation skills are a robust finding in small-scale laboratory-based studies of spatial cognition. There is almost no evidence in the literature, however, relating these skills to performance on spatial tasks in large-scale, real-world activities such as navigating in a new city or in the woods. This study investigated the connections between mental rotation skills, as measured by the Vandenburg-Kuse Mental Rotations Test, and the performance of 211 military college students navigating a 6 km orienteering course. The results indicate that mental rotation skills are significantly correlated with wayfinding performance on an orienteering task. The findings also replicated sex differences in spatial ability as found in laboratory-scale studies. However, the findings complicate the discussion of mental rotation skills and sex because women often performed as well as men, despite having lower mean test scores. This suggests that mental rotation ability may not be as necessary for some women's wayfinding as it is for men's navigation.

AB - Unlike most research on reinforcement schedules, this study utilized human Ss. When human Ss have been used in the past, the Ss have not usually received accurate knowledge of their prior performance. Moreover, with animals, it is probably impossible both to convey information about prior results to them and determine their awareness of it. In contrast, this operant experiment measured response times in human Ss after the Ss were accurately informed of their prior performance. 16 college students in an experimental psychology class were tested for reaction time in groups under different reinforcement schedules (control, 0.5, and 0.1). The 6 control group Ss received no knowledge of their results; the 5 Ss (0.5 group) received knowledge of results and were reinforced when their reaction time was quicker than the median time of their previous 40 trials; and the 0.1 group (of 5 Ss) received knowledge of results and were reinforced when their reaction time was in the top 10% of their previous 40 trials. The authors found that the relationship between reaction time and knowledge of results and reinforcement was equivocal. There remains support for the contention that reinforcement schedules improve reaction times in humans and that successive approximation remains useful.

This is at least partially due to the lack of established muscle repair models. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of stitches in transected porcine and bovine muscle bellies. A biomechanical protocol was designed for measuring suture performance in muscle belly lacerations. Twenty simple stitches in porcine and 21 stitches in bovine specimens were tested. Individual stitches were placed in lacerated muscle bellies and tensioned on a biomechanical tester (model 8521S, Instron Corporation, Canton, MA). The mean maximum load for porcine (22.0 N) and bovine (23.9 N) stitches was not significantly different (p = .48). The difference in mean strains at maximum load between porcine (9.7%) and bovine (8.0%) groups was statistically significant (p = .004). Failure mechanisms were similar. One porcine stitch avulsed the muscle transversely, while 19 stitches tore out longitudinally. All 20 stitches tore out in bovine specimens. Sutured muscle was the weakest element in each test. The present study demonstrated that sutured muscles performed similarly for the two mammals regarding the parameters of maximum load and mechanism of failure. Regarding suturing of skeletal muscle lacerations, both mammalian models had similar biomechanical performance for maximum loads and failure mechanisms, while strain data differed. The stitch load magnitudes in this study approximate those required to successfully repair transected muscle. Knowledge introduced by this study fills a gap concerning muscle stitching relevant to clinical care.

The purpose of this study was to assess senior military officers' concerns on various health topics, educational preferences for nutrition and health topics, eating habits, and barriers and motivators for eating healthfully and exercising regularly. The survey was completed by 52 resident students at the U.S. Army War College. Fitness, weight, and blood cholesterol were top health concerns, and respondents wanted to know more about eating healthfully on the run. The primary barrier to eating healthfully and exercising regularly was lack of time, whereas health and appearance were top motivators. Health interventions for this population should include their topics of concern and should address perceived barriers and motivators.

Soldiers testing the CFP formulations were members of one of four U.S. Army infantry companies (A, B, C, or D]. The formulations were evaluated while soldiers participated in simulated combat exercises for 5 days during hot, humid summer weather in Korea. Results showed that soldiers found both of the new formulations easier to apply (91.3% of respondents who used CFP without DEET and 87.9% of respondents who used CFP with DEET) and remove (82.6% without DEET and 81.2% with DEET) than the previous standard military-issue CFP. Soldier acceptability was higher for the new CFP formulation with 30% DEET (70.5%) than for the formulation without 30% DEET (52.9%). Soldiers recommended it more frequently (70.5%) than the formulation without 30% DEET (50.0%). The new CFP formulation with 30% DEET was rated more often (79.5%) as either good or excellent than the new formulation without 30% DEET (67.4%). Soldiers reported that the CFP formulation with 30% DEET more successfully camouflaged the face (92.7%) than the formulation without 30% DEET (80.0%).

Methods: An OHT was self-applied by 26 subjects, to maximal tolerable tightness, to the proximal and or thigh under different conditions and positions, and the presence of blood flow was assessed using Doppler ultrasonography or occlusion plethysmography. Results: Doppler sound was eliminated at the radial artery for all subjects with OHT application but was not stopped at the popliteal or dorsalis pedis artery for any subjects. The OHT reduced forearm blood flow by 79% but decreased leg blood flow by only ∼50%. regardless of condition and position of application to the thigh. Conclusions: The OHT appears to effectively minimize blood flow in the arm but not in the lower extremities, and clinical assessment of blood flow disappearance by Doppler ultrasonography may underestimate the magnitude of actual blood flow to the limb.

However, a great deal of confusion exists among soldiers, medics, and military medical officers on a number of tourniquet-related issues. What is an appropriate combat tourniquet? When is it appropriate to use a tourniquet? When and by whom should a tourniquet be removed? Under what conditions should a tourniquet not be released or removed? What are the most effective ways to increase limb salvage while using a tourniquet? These and other issues were addressed by a panel of experts at the 2003 Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care Conference, August 21 and 23, 2003, St. Pete Beach, Florida. Here we review those issues and present a summary of the panel's recommendations.

The viral hemorrhagic fever viruses display a great deal of diversity in their genetic organization, vectors for transmission, and geographic distribution. They share common features in being able to induce a great deal of cellular damage and to elicit an immune response among humans that can result in severe hemorrhage, coagulopathy, shock, and death. The characteristics of the viral hemorrhagic fever viruses as arthropod-borne or rodent-borne viruses that can result in human illnesses with high morbidity and mortality rates make these viruses a unique threat, historically, currently, and in the future, to deployed soldiers around the world. In response to this threat, U.S. military scientists have been world leaders in the development of knowledge on the viral hemorrhagic fever viruses, from extensive fieldwork in areas in which these viruses are endemic, outbreak investigations of epidemics, and careful clinical studies elucidating the pathogenesis of severe disease. Defining the disease threat and creating practical countermeasures through the development of drugs and vaccines has been the major mission of military scientists and has resulted in numerous candidate vaccines currently in animal and human clinical trials.

Methods: Quality indicators for processes and outcomes of care were obtained from a computerized system-wide database by patient administration and utilization management personnel unaware of this study and without connection to or interests in guideline implementation. These indicators were compared before and after guideline implementation. Results: After the asthma CPG, nebulizer treatments, emergency department visits, and admissions decreased significantly (p < 0.001 for all three) and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Periodic measurements of lung function and controller medication prescriptions were unchanged. After the diabetes mellitus CPG, microalbumin screens and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor prescriptions and yearly foot examinations decreased significantly, along with the percentage of patients with blood pressure of ≥ 130/85 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Mean hemoglobin A1C levels did not change significantly. After the tobacco cessation CPG, screening and education increased significantly (p < 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: The asthma CPG improved some processes and all outcomes. The diabetes CPG improved two of the eight measured processes but had no effect on outcomes. Education and screening, but not counseling, improved with the tobacco CPG. CPGs appear to improve diagnostic and educational processes more than provider-dependent treatment processes. Outcomes were improved after implementation of the asthma CPG but not after the diabetes CPG.

The article compares peacetime health care systems within the Department of Defense and the formulary systems developed and used within the fixed facility environment with Department of Defense contingency health care operations systems and the complications encountered while attempting formulary development for the deployed environment. Despite great difficulties, the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board developed, published, and marketed a jointly approved, standardized, modernized formulary to assist forces deploying for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The process used by the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board during formulary development is described in detail, giving readers an understanding of the foundations of the Joint Deployment Formulary. The military departments will experience the benefits of enhanced supply chain predictability and responsiveness, increased clinician satisfaction, and improved patient safety and health care quality by implementing the Joint Deployment Formulary for their forces engaged in contingency operations.

Lactated Ringer's solution (LR) and Hextend at room temperature (20°C) or refrigerated temperature (4-7°C and packed red blood cells at 4°C to 7° were used with each warmer at two different flow rates. The FMS 2000 consistently warmed all fluids to approximately 37°C. regardless of the starting temperature or flow rate. The Level 1 and Ranger also efficiently warmed all fluids except cold LR to approximately 37°. The Thermal Angel generally warmed room temperature fluid, cold Hextend, and packed red blood cells to at least 33°C to 34°C but could not warm cold LR. The clinical standard is to have fluids warmed to 32°C at a minimum and more preferably to 34°C to 35°C. Of the fluid warmers tested, only the Thermal Angel failed to achieve such a temperature in warming cold LR. Data from the present study suggest the Ranger and FMS 2000 to be operationally adaptable to at least echelons 1 and 2, respectively, whereas far-forward use of the Thermal Angel has limitations.

Methods: We designed a customized survey instrument because no preexisting, validated, survey instrument was available. A query was performed in the Medical Operations Data System to identify all captains (0-3) currently on active duty in the Army (N = 348). The survey sample included 64 junior officers with a 2000 date of rank to captain (0-3), of whom only 52 were in the Medical Command Outlook address book or the Army Knowledge Online white pages. The questionnaire was sent out to these targeted junior dental officers through their official e-mail accounts. Dentists assigned to Korea and to dental field units do not use the same e-mail system as the rest of the Dental Command: therefore, their addresses were not available. In an attempt to increase response rates, commanders were asked to emphasize the importance of responding to the questionnaire. Results: From the sample population of 52 officers who were queried directly, 34 responses were received, for a response rate of 65%. However, commanders forwarded the survey to all Dental Command captains and 102 responses were received. The respondents represented 30% of the total Army inventory of captains; 92% of respondents reported that they had dental school loans, with 43% reporting loans in excess of $50,000. The average dental school indebtedness was approximately $60,700. More than 60% of all respondents reported that loan repayment could change their minds about remaining on active duty. Officers not included in the original sample rated the impact of loan repayment statistically higher than did officers in the original sample. Conclusions: The findings were that the majority of junior Army dental officers had significant student loans and many of these officers indicated that they would consider remaining on...

Thirty-five male soldiers were randomly assigned to one of four training groups: total body resistance training plus endurance training (RT + ET). upper body resistance training plus endurance training (UB + ET). RT only, and ET only. Training was performed 4 days per week for 12 weeks. Testing occurred before and after the 12-week training regimen. All groups significantly improved push-up performance, whereas only the RT - ET group did not improve sit-up performance. The groups that included ET significantly decreased 2-mile run time, however, only RT - ET and UB + ET showed improved loaded 2-mile run time. Leg power increased for groups that included lower body strengthening exercises (RT and RT + ET). Army Physical Fitness Test performance, loaded running, and leg power responded positively to training, however, it appears there is a high degree of specificity when concurrent training regimens are implemented.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2005/07//Jul/Aug2005 VL - 24 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 221 EP - 229 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Considerable concentrations of the explosive, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) have been found in the soil at many installations where explosives have been used, manufactured, assembled, or destroyed. To evaluate risk to avian receptors, measures of exposure are compared with a threshold level of sublethal toxicity. To date, a single feeding study has evaluated the responses of oral TNT exposure to birds with equivocal results regarding sublethal effects. The present study followed a controlled dosing regime comprising four dose groups and a control (200, 120, 70, 20, and 0 mg TNT/kg body weight [bw]-day) in the common pigeon ( Columba livia ) for 60 days. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes between 2 and 3 weeks of exposure. Signs included weight loss, neuromuscular effects (e.g., ataxia, tremors, etc.), and scant red feces (chromaturia). Emetic events following dosing were common and proportional to dose; however, attempts to quantify vomitus compound concentration suggests that birds were marginally successful at removing TNT following administration. Eight of 12 and 2 of 12 males and females died or were moribund in the 200 and 120 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Changes in hematological parameters, liver, kidney, and ovary weights were related to treatment. Dose-related changes in plasma albumin and sodium concentrations were also observed. These results suggest that subchronic exposure to TNT can adversely affect the central nervous system and hematological parameters in birds. Chemical analysis of blood detected concentrations of the two primary reduction metabolites, but not parent compound, suggesting that toxicity may be due to the bioaccumulation of a toxic intermediate.

Two isomers of dinitrotoluene (2,4- and 2,6-) are often found in soil associated with those activities at considerable concentrations. Consequently, issues regarding the effects of exposure to birds that visit these habitats require evaluation. To provide data useful to a risk assessment approach, we followed a controlled dosing regime (gavage) using 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) in the Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ) for 60 days following a 14-day range-finding study and the determination of a LD 50 using the up/down method. The LD 50 was determined to be 55 mg/kg using corn oil as a vehicle. Individuals dosed exceeding this level were moribund or died within 60 h of exposure. Morbidity and death occurred during the 14-day range-finding study at dosing regimens of 35 and 55, but not at 15, 5, and 0.5 mg/kg-day. Compound-related morbidity/mortality occurred in the 60-day study during the first week of exposure at 25 and 15, but not at 5, 1, and 0 mg/kg-day. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes at the onset of exposure. Signs included weight loss, diarrhea, and lethargy. Dose-related changes in egg production, ovary, kidney, and brain mass, and body weight, but not feed consumption, were found. Changes in kidney mass and histological observations suggest accumulation of nitrogenous waste may be the cause of morbidity. These data suggest that oral 2,4-DNT exposures are more acutely toxic and has a different etiology than 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in birds.

To identify neuropathic indices of toxicity, the effects of varying concentrations (0 to 2 mM) of TNB on cytotoxicity and cellular metabolic activity were examined using cultured astrocytes from Fischer-344 rats. The cytotoxicity was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage into the culture medium. Astrocyte metabolic activity was assessed by measuring the conversion of a tetrazolium salt to a formazan product. Additionally, the effects of oxidative stress on cellular metabolic activity were determined by varying oxygen tension via alteration of culture media depth. In vitro, the toxic concentration 50% (TC 50 ) of TNB, which induced cell death, was 16 µM following a 24-h exposure. The concentration of TNB that reduced cellular metabolic activity by 50% was 29 µM following a 24-h exposure. Varying the depth of the culture media did not influence the cellular metabolic activity in control or TNB-treated astrocytes. These results support the hypothesis that TNB induced neurotoxicity could partially be mediated via injury to astrocytes, a major component of the blood-brain barrier.

Patients frequently ask their physicians about its use, and many physicians are at a loss about what to tell them. Aviators who have trouble sleeping may choose to buy melatonin and use it since it is a 'natural' substance. However, they may lack proper education about its use and the issues of concern. Flight surgeons can help educate their patients of melatonin. This paper briefly discusses the role of melatonin in humans, its effects on circadian rhythms, its sleep-inducing properties, its effects on mood and performance, and issues pertaining to safety. Flight surgeons and other physicians cannot 'prescribe' melatonin, but they at least can offer information about its effects and what is not known about melatonin at this time to the aviators who may ask questions concerning this product.

AB - Through the device of examining a fictitious journal entry of a college freshman from 10 years in the future, this article illustrates one possible future in which powerfully networked multimedia-capable laptop computers have radically transformed the delivery of introductory level college mathematics courses. The student's journal entries about his experiences in a Finite Mathematics course are taken as a parable to be examined through the lenses of modern mathematics education theories, which suggest that learning mathematics is a process of construction of meaning by the learner in both internal-cognitive and external-social ways. In addition, some objections to the story brought up during the author's informal conversations with mathematics teachers and students are addressed.

AB - Five knowledge tests and one implicit-reasoning task were developed to be: (1) exceptionally short, (2) correlated with general cognitive aptitude, (3) unobtrusive, and (4) without formally 'correct' answers. The intent was to design scales that could be administered in non-proctored environments to directly measure general cognitive aptitude while avoiding the possibility that participants could use references to provide 'good' answers'. The tests used a Likert format to assess knowledge in verbal and practical domains, and were scored by computing distances between examinee and reference ratings. The scales were administered to 288 Air Force recruits and were validated against the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Individual unobtrusive knowledge scales and ASVAB tests were substantially correlated. Two sets of factor scores, separately derived from the unobtrusive test battery and the ASVAB, were highly correlated.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 169 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 926 EP - 931 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This retrospective cohort study compared trends in motor vehicle occupant fatalities among men in the Army with men in the civilian U.S. population. Motor vehicle fatality rates from 1980 to 1997 indicated both groups showed declines in fatality rates. The overall age-adjusted motor vehicle fatality rate for 17- to 44-year-old males in the Army fell from 40.8 to 20.6 per 100.000, a 49.5% decline, In the U.S. population, the rate dropped from 38.1 to 23.3 per 100.000 for a 38.8% decline. Deaths from motor vehicle crashes fell by almost 50% in the Army during the study period; however, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for the Army. U.S. military policies and law enforcement have the potential to make even further gains in reducing motor vehicle crashes and injuries among military personnel.

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of a pneumatic leg brace on return-to-activity and pain in soldiers with tibial stress fractures. Methods and Measures: Thirty-one subjects diagnosed with tibial stress fractures were randomly assigned to either a brace or control group. Dependent variables included time to pain-free single-leg hopping, visual analog pain scale, and time to a pain-free 1-mile run. Twenty subjects (10 brace. 10 control) completed a detailed functional progression culminating in a 1-mile run. Results: There was no difference between groups for time to pain-free hop (p>0.86; power = 0.43) and time to pain-free 1-mile run (p>0.24; power -0.92). Subjects in both groups experienced statistically significant improvements in pain measurements (p< 0.002). but no difference was found between groups (p> 0.93). Conclusion: The current study demonstrated no added benefit of Aircast leg braces in the treatment of tibial stress fractures in the military training environment.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 169 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 850 EP - 855 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The Multi-Threat Medical Countermeasure (MTMC) hypothesis has been proposed with the aim of developing a single countermeasure drug with efficacy against different pathologies caused by multiple classes of chemical warfare agents. Although sites and mechanisms of action and the pathologies caused by different chemical insults vary, common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes provide targets for MTMC drugs. This article will review the MTMC hypothesis for blister and nerve agents and will expand the scope of the concept to include other chemicals as well as briefly consider biological agents. The article will also consider how common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes that contribute to clinical pathologies and Syndromes may relate to the toxicity of threat agents. Discovery of MTMC provides the opportunity for the integration of diverse researchers and clinicians, and for the exploitation of cutting-edge technologies and drug discovery. The broad-spectrum nature of MTMC can augment military and civil defense to combat chemical warfare and chemical terrorism.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 169 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 761 EP - 767 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - A lack of individual exposure information limited the evaluation of exposure-outcome relationships after the Gulf War. Exposure concerns during Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom deployments have increased interest in individual environmental and occupational chemical exposure assessment. Currently, deployment assessments are conducted using intermittent ambient air monitoring, occasional focused evaluations based on these results, and post deployment questionnaire documentation of exposure and/or health concerns. Although this strategy is an improvement over previous practice, it has limitations, including a reliance on evidence of an acute problem, to initiate in-depth health evaluation. Exposure biomarkers may have the potential to overcome some of the limitations of current environmental and occupational exposure assessment tools. This article examines current exposure assessment methods, reviews emerging technologies, and recommends a phased approach to introducing exposure biomarkers into a comprehensive occupational and environmental health surveillance program.

The overall objective of this review is two-fold. First, the objective is to increase awareness in senior military leadership of the challenges and opportunities presented by DNA microarray technology and the emerging and rapidly changing field of bioinformatics. Second, the aim is to publicize to the civilian research community the additional challenges associated with the use of microarray technology in military medical research. This discussion contains material that would be useful for making programmatic recommendations that team strategic research investments and emerging technologies with U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command resources.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 169 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 604 EP - 608 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Oral health is an integral part of general health. Previous research has shown that untreated oral conditions can result in increased rates of disease and nonbattle injury for deployed soldiers. The purpose of this study was to develop models for U.S. Army dental wellness and readiness using a multivariate regression analysis approach. Staffing levels and dental wellness and readiness rates were examined for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2002 at 40 Army installations. Full regression model equations were developed for percent dental wellness and readiness using location, time, dental provider types, and basic training installation as predictor variables. Both models were shown to be statistically significant, with wellness R2 = 0.37, F12,107 = 5.18. p < 0.001 and readiness R2 = 0.23, F12,107 = 2.65, p < 0.01. Further tests of specific predictor effects revealed that wellness was significantly associated with the specialties of general dentistry, hygienists, and oral surgery, and that readiness was significantly associated with region and the oral surgery specialty. Results may be useful for the U.S. Army to identify the best practices in an effort to optimize dental wellness and readiness.

During the first decade of this collaboration, studies have been carried out in the diverse disciplines that axe crucial to providing the foundations for efficacy trials of candidate HIV vaccines. Studies of host, pathogen, and vaccine interventions included studies of viral diversity, epidemiology, disease course, potential vaccine cohorts, and Phase I/II clinical trials. Collaborations were expanded to other Thai institutions and to overseas partners, resulting in the Thai AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Group. The efforts of these collaborations resulted in the development of candidate vaccines specifically designed for use in Thailand, and sequential evaluations that have lead to the threshold of the world's next and largest efficacy trial of vaccines.

Between January 3, 1998 and July 24, 2001, 4,258 trainees were assigned to the PTRP. Using a retrospective cohort study design, return to training and BCT graduation rates were evaluated. PTRP graduates were compared with matched non-PTRP graduates for 2-year retention in the Army. More PTRP women than men were discharged from the PTRP (60% and 48%, respectively, p < 0.01). Of PTRP trainees returning to BCT, 10% and 12% of men and women, respectively, were discharged from the Army compared with overall Fort Jackson discharge rates of 9% and 15% for men and women, respectively. Comparing PTRP graduates to matched non-PTRP graduates, there were no differences in 2-year retention for men (14.9% and 14.7%, respectively; p = 0.93) or women (26.6% and 30.1%, respectively; p = 0.19). Despite the high discharge rate in the PTRP, the BCT discharge rate for trainees who successfully rehabilitated was similar to the overall discharge rate at Fort Jackson. The 2-year retention in service for PTRP trainees who graduated from BCT was similar to that of non-PTRP trainees.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 169 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 483 EP - 490 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This study evaluated whether Special Forces (SF) soldiers training in garrison would meet nutrient intake recommendations using the available garrison dining facility. Dietary intakes were obtained by a visual estimation method and self-reported food records from 32 SF and 13 support soldiers for 9 days. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured in nine soldiers from each group using doubly labeled water. Mean (± SD) total energy expenditure of SF (4,099 ± 740 kcal/day) was higher than support soldiers (3,361 ± 939 kcal/day, p < 0.01). Energy intake did not differ between groups. Median energy intake for all soldiers was 3,204 kcal/day. The nutrient intake goals of SF soldiers were not fully met by eating in the dining facility. Extending meal times and providing additional meals or "take out" foods may allow energy needs of SF soldiers (~4,200 kcal/day) to be met, while reducing the reliance on potentially less nutritious outside foods.

Medical officers in a field environment cannot avoid facing cutaneous quandaries. This article briefly highlights the omnipresent threat of cutaneous disease. It follows with a cost-effective look at periodically deploying a dermatologist to Bosnia. Volumes of historical data clearly justify the assignment of a dermatologist as a special consultant staff officer to every corps or theater medical staff. Despite this data, only two U.S. Army units in our present table of organization and equipment will have a dermatologist (60L] available for periodic direct-field consultation and teaching. After review of the historical data and the Stabilization Force-Bosnia statistics presented here, the table of organization and equipment restructuring that is required to meet the challenges of tomorrow will be clear. A dermatologist must be deployed as a theater or division consultant.

In 2002, the three Services continued their cooperative, multidisciplinary approach to the WNV outbreak. Activities included a doubling of mosquito surveillance and vector control responses, extension of and doubling of bird and nonhuman mammal surveillance to all four continental United States regions, expanded diagnostic testing by DoD laboratories, and installation environmental clean up and personnel protection campaigns. Medical treatment facilities conducted passive surveillance and reported possible cases in DoD health care beneficiaries. Efforts were coordinated through active communication within installations, with commands, and with surrounding communities. Undertaken activities complemented each other to maximize surveillance coverage. The surveillance detected WNV on 44 DoD installations. It led directly to vector control and prevention activities, and there were no confirmed cases of WNV reported in the DoD force. This multi-Service effort is a surveillance template for future outbreaks that threaten DoD force health.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 169 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 417 EP - 420 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Pertussis, once a serious respiratory disease in children, has recently been identified as a common cause of chronic cough in adults. Military personnel are known to be vulnerable to this disease. After a training barracks exposure to pertussis, routine arrangements for contact prophylaxis with erythromycin failed. This experience is reported here as well as that of our subsequent aggressive attempts using directly observed prophylaxis (DOP) with standard erythromycin regimens. No secondary cases occurred. However, many contacts (35%) could not finish a 14-day course despite DOP, mostly because of nausea (85%) or diarrhea (72%). Seventeen (18%) soldiers missed classes because of erythromycin side effects; five required emergency department visits or hospital admission for the same. Sixteen (17%) soldiers were switched to azithromycin because of side effects; all were able to complete a 14-day course without symptoms. High adherence rates with erythromycin administration using DOP are attainable but may trigger unacceptable toxicities; alternative prophylactic regimens should be considered for active duty personnel.

Materials and Methods: The dental readiness classification, derived from a clinical screening examination versus a panoramic radiological examination, was compared for 1,050 Fort Sill Basic Training recruits during a 1-month period. The dentist who reviewed the panoramic radiograph and determined a dental classification was blinded to the earlier dental classification from the clinical examination. The Spearman's rank order correlation test was used to determine if a statistically significant correlation existed between classifications based on the clinical examination versus classification by review of the panoramic radiograph alone. Results: The project identified that 18% (n = 186) and 23.7% (n = 249) of the sample population had at least one class 3 condition identified from the clinical screening examination and the panoramic radiograph review, respectively. Of the 186 dental fitness category 3 conditions identified from the routine dental screening, 81.7% (152) of them were also identified from the review of the panoramic radiograph. Spearman's rank order correlation test statistic was 0.633 for a p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant correlation in the identification of IET soldiers with class 3 conditions using a screening examination with a review of the panoramic radiograph. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that panoramic radiograph review can identify IET soldiers with dental fitness category 3 conditions and implies that a policy change may be prudent to allow this type of initial classification.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 169 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 142 EP - 146 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Before the first Persian Gulf War, military chemical concerns were focused on life-threatening/performance-impairing effects from exposures to chemical warfare agents. Now, hazards of concern include both high and low levels of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals in air, soil, and water. The types of health effects considered have expanded to include both immediate, acute effects (mild and severe), and delayed or chronic outcomes. Because federal exposure standards are not applicable to deployed personnel, the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine established military-specific exposure guidelines in Technical Guide 230, Chemical Exposure Guidelines for Deployed Military Personnel. Methods used to develop the guidelines address toxicological data limitations, uniqueness of military populations and exposure scenarios, and a risk assessment process compatible with existing military operational risk management doctrine. The Technical Guide 230 helps ensure chemical hazards are addressed in various deployment scenarios.

This cohort study analyzed health status responses and their relationship to postdeployment health outcomes among 16,142 military personnel who completed a health questionnaire after a deployment ending in 1999. Respondents were Army and Air Force personnel returning from Europe or Southwest Asia. Fourteen percent documented at least one health concern and 1.8% had fair/poor self-rated health. In the 6 months after deployment, 1.4% were hospitalized, 25% made five or more outpatient visits, and 4% separated from military service. Deployers with fair/poor self-rated health were at a significantly increased risk for high use of outpatient services (risk ratio, men 1.8, women 1.7) but not for hospitalization or separation. Self-report of low health status or other health concerns may help identify deployers with higher health care needs after future deployments.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 169 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 56 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This study reviews historical and biomedical aspects of soldier load carriage. Before the 18th century, foot soldiers seldom carried more than 15 kg while on the march, but loads have progressively risen since then. This load increase is presumably due to the weight of weapons and equipment that incorporate new technologies to increase protection, firepower, communications, and mobility. Research shows that locating the load center of mass as close as possible to the body center of mass results in the lowest energy cost and tends to keep the body in an upright position similar to unloaded walking. Loads carried on other parts of the body result in higher energy expenditures: each kilogram added to the foot increases energy expenditure 7% to 10%; each kilogram added to the thigh increases energy expenditure 4%. Hip belts on rucksacks should be used whenever possible as they reduce pressure on the shoulders and increase comfort. Low or mid-back load placement might be preferable on uneven terrain but high load placement may be best for even terrain. In some tactical situations, combat load carts can be used, and these can considerably reduce energy expenditure and improve performance. Physical training that includes aerobic exercise, resistance training targeted at specific muscle groups, and regular road marching can considerably improve road marching speed and efficiency. The energy cost of walking with backpack loads increases progressively with increases in weight carried, body mass, walking speed, or grade; type of terrain also influences energy cost. Predictive equations have been developed, but these may not be accurate for prolonged load carriage. Common injuries associated with prolonged load carriage include foot blisters, stress fractures, back strains, metatarsalgia, rucksack palsy, and knee pain. Load carriage can be facilitated by lightening loads, improving load distribution, optimizing load-carriage equipment, and taking preventive action to reduce...

The two replacement strategies included the reserve component option and the TRICARE internal resource-sharing option. A hypothetical scenario was used as a mechanism for the analysis, and three key variables were considered: effectiveness, feasibility, and operational expense, From the perspective of effectiveness, the TRICARE strategy demonstrated an ability to provide a slightly larger percentage of the requested replacement personnel. With regard to feasibility, both strategies were feasible in that both could provide replacements for the duration of the 270-day deployment and within an established 180-day report date. Operational expense was a decisive factor with the reserve component option significantly less costly than the TRICARE alternative. Weaknesses and strengths of each option were identified and discussed, and alternatives were recommended.

It is also a crucial requirement for athletic events and activities. Deterioration in this postural control mechanism is termed postural instability and results in increased postural sway. Decrements in postural sway have been documented following a 15.5-mile run. It remains to be seen whether a shorter distance run will cause a similar decrease in postural control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 2-mile run on postural sway in healthy subjects. Forty-four healthy subjects were assigned to an experimental group (2-mile run) or a control group. Postural sway was measured before and after the run with the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and a clinical balance test called the Military Academy Stance Test. There was a significant before-after run Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index (p < 0.05) and Military Academy Stance Test index (p < 0.05) increase in the experimental group. There was no significant change for the control group. It was concluded that a 2-mile run does produce a significant increase in postural sway as measured using the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and Military Academy Stance Test.

Traditional dental missions have been a part of general MEDRETEs and have focused care on extractions and the provision of oral hygiene instructions. This article describes the tenets of a prevention-based dental humanitarian mission to Honduras in 2002. Materials and Methods: The U.S. Army Southern Command requested a Dental Specialty MEDRETE for fiscal year 2002. A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the dental readiness training exercises at the Escuala Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. Results: The U.S. Army Dental Command in conjunction with the 257th Medical Company {Dental Services) performed a pediatric dental readiness training exercises in Tegucigalpa March 4-15, 2002. In over 9 treatment days, there were 369 patient encounters totaling 1,593 treatment procedures. In keeping with the preventive focus of the mission, 514 dental occlusal sealants were provided compared with only 90 extractions. Over $76,000 in dental services was provided. Conclusions: The 2002 Honduran Dental Specialty MEDRETE represented a changing paradigm from extraction-based dental missions toward prevention-based missions. With this philosophical shift in focused care, Dental Specialty MEDRETEs have the ability to enhance the oral health of children, including those not fortunate enough to have received direct interventional dentistry.

The calculated average TNB intake over 2 years for males and females was 0.22, 2.64, 13.44 and 0.23, 2.68, 13.31 mg/kg body weight (BW)/day respectively. Terminal body weights were decreased and water intake was increased in both sexes (300 ppm), whereas food consumption was decreased in males (60 and 300 ppm groups) only. The relative spleen weights were significantly decreased in both sexes (300 ppm), whereas the relative brain weights were increased in females only (300 ppm). Hematological effects were not observed in animals killed at the 2-year time point, except significant decrease in the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in males (300 ppm) and in females (60 and 300 ppm). Methemoglobin levels were increased in both sexes in the high dose group. Histopathological examination showed treatment-related changes in the kidney (hyaline droplets; 60 and 300 ppm) and the spleen (erythroid cell hyperplasia and pigment deposition; 300 ppm) of both sexes. Cytoplasmic hyaline droplets in the kidneys were characterized by immunohistochemistry as alpha-2 μ -globulin.

These doses corresponded to approximately 22, 66, and 220 mg/kg/day topical permethrin. Mice were exposed in this manner either daily for 10 or 30 consecutive days, or every other day for 7 or 14 exposures. Body weight was not affected by any of the treatment regimens. However, thymic weight was decreased and splenic weight was increased by 1.5 or 5.0 θ l permethrin/day, 2 days after termination of 10 consecutive days of topical chemical exposure. Cell surface antigen expression did not change in any treatment group on thymocytes (CD4, CD8), splenocytes (CD45R, Thy 1.2), or bone marrow cells (CD45, CD45R). A persistent, dose-related inhibition of the contact hypersensitivity (CH) response occurred in mice at all exposure levels of permethrin tested.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2000/07// VL - 19 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 285 EP - 292 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Five structurally related nitrobenzenes (1,2-dinitrobenzene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 1,4-dinitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, and picric acid) and Meisenheimer complex [1-(S-glutathionyl)-2,4,6- trinitrocyclohexadienate] were evaluated as possible inhibitors of affinity purified mammalian glutathione transferases (GSTs) isolated from human liver or human term placenta and rat liver. The results suggest that the degree of GST inhibition depends upon both the chemical in question and the enzyme source. Among the nitrobenzenes tested, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) was found to be the most potent inhibitor of GST activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) from all the sources, whereas 1,3-dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB) was the least effective. TNB-caused inhibition of GST activity toward CDNB appeared to be isozyme specific in that compared to the enzyme from human term placenta (GSTP1-1), the degree of inhibition of the mixture of GST isozymes present in the livers of adult rats and humans was low. The enzyme assays conducted with 3,4-dichloro-1-nitrobenzene (DCNB), ethacrynic acid (EA), and 4-nitropyridine N-oxide also suggested the isozymespecific inhibition of rat liver GST activity by TNB. The nature of TNB-caused inhibition of GSTP1-1 was competitive with respect to CDNB and yielded a K[sub i] value of 12.5 θM. With EA, a specific substrate for GSTP1-1, an IC[sub 50] value of ~16 θM was estimated for the GSTP1-1 inhibition by TNB. The Meisenheimer complex, the product of nonenzymatic GSH conjugation with TNB by different GSTs, was found to be the most potent inhibitor of mammalian GSTs, and IC[sub 50] values ranged between 1 and 4 θM when the enzyme activity was assayed using CDNB. The nature of GSTP1-1 inhibition was noncompetitive with respect to CDNB, with a K[sub i] value of 1θM for Meisenheimer complex. Although a precise mechanism was not identified, it is postulated that GSH depletion and/or GST inhibition may contribute, at least partly, to the target organ toxicity caused by exposures of animals to different nitrobenzenes reported in the literature.

The effects of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) on wild cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) were evaluated to identify target organ toxicity that could be used to develop biomarkers for exposure assessment for ecological and health risks. The oral LD[sub 50] values for TNT in corn oil were 607 and 767 mg/kg body weights for male and female cotton rats respectively. Hematological, pathological, and biochemical effects of TNT were determined after daily oral gavage of TNT in corn oil at doses of 0, 75.9, 151.8, and 303.5 (males) or 0, 96, 192, and 384 mg/kg (females) for 7 days. Cotton rats treated with TNT showed an increase in spleen weights in males (303.5 mg/kg) and in females (192 and 384 mg/kg). Cotton rats of both sexes treated for 7 days with TNT had marked hemolytic anemia with reduced erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit in high-dose groups; methemoglobin levels were elevated significantly in males at mid and high dose. Hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme analysis revealed that microsomal O-dealkylation of methoxy, ethoxy, and pentoxy resorufin were elevated in male (high dose) cotton rats. The activity of hepatic glutathione S-transferases (GST) was significantly elevated in male (mid and high dose) and female (all doses) cotton rats exposed to TNT. Histopathological analysis of spleen revealed mild to marked splenic congestion with mild extramedullary hematopoiesis, hemosiderosis, and lymphoid hyperplasia in male and female cotton rats treated with TNT (all doses). Liver weights were increased in males (mid and high dose) and in females (high-dose group). In the high-dose groups, histological changes in liver (mild to moderate hepatocellular hypertrophy, increased hemosiderin pigment in Kupffer cells) in both sexes, and in testis (premature exfoliation of spermatozoa from dilated seminiferous tubules) were observed (mid and high dose). These results suggest that hepatic GST and hemolytic anemia may be biomarkers in cotton rats of terrestrial contamination with TNT or other nitroaromatic explosive compounds.

Data on predictors of officer worry and parent contacts were collected from 277 senior ranking male officers (40 to 49 years old). A structural equation model of worry and parent contact among male officers showed that previous parental illness, parent's age, and the tendency among officers to have an angry temperament increased their worry. Conversely, number of siblings and satisfaction with a "parent care plan" decreased worry about parents. Number of siblings also decreased contact with parents. Quality of interpersonal relationships and branch of service (Army and Marine Corps) increased contacts with parents. This research underscores the importance of examining the invisible "anguish" of adult sons who are precluded from visiting their parents by distance or employment situations, lends quantitative support to previous qualitative findings, and indicates that satisfaction with a realistic parent care plan reduces worries about elderly parents.

Common defensive efforts include the following: omissions (blanks, incomplete responses), denial (negation), redundant responses (tautologies), flippant responses, responses about the test, and simple associations. These responses are reliably coded using exemplar ratings. Sentence completion test (SCT) verbal defensiveness is largely independent of verbal ability. Participants higher in verbal defensiveness are judged by psychologists as lower in suitability for high demand military missions and by peers as less desirable coworkers in a high stress military mission. SCT verbal defensiveness is higher among personnel who fail to complete an operational assessment and selection program. Two dimensions underlie common defensive efforts: inhibition and resistance. Neither factor is very extensively related to the "Big Five" personality dimensions.

This study, which examines a large cohort of U.S. Military Academy cadets over time, tests the influence of cognitive and personality variables on military leadership performance over a 4-year period. Hierarchical multiple regression procedures are used to identify factors at entry into the Academy that successfully predict military development grades as upperclassmen, 3 to 4 years later. A moderately stable cross-validated model reveals cognitive factors (college entrance scores, social judgment skills, and logical reasoning) and personality factors (agreeableness and conscientiousness) that contribute to later leader performance. A main effect for gender on leader performance was also identified, with women performing better than men. The amount of variance in leader performance scores accounted for by variables examined here, although modest, is notable considering the time interval involved. Nevertheless, future studies should explore additional factors, particularly personality ones, that may influence leader performance in developing leaders.

This research used an assessment center and subsequent training program to investigate the hypothesis that interpersonal performance and motivation are two key dimensions of performance that may account for the historical strength of peer assessments. Consistent with previous research, results showed that peer rankings from the assessment center predicted final training outcomes better than did staff ratings. Congruent with our hypothesis, results from the training program demonstrated that, when rating a student's expected future on-the-job performance, peers placed significantly more importance on interpersonal performance and motivation than did staff, and they placed significantly less importance on task performance. Additional longitudinal research is needed to explicitly link peer evaluations of interpersonal skills and performance motivation with future job performance.

Flight data from 10 UH-60 pilots, who flew a helicopter simulator, and 10 pilots who flew an aircraft were pooled to assess the influence of the flight platform on Dexedrine(r) versus placebo effects in two 40-hr periods of sustained wakefulness. Overall, performance under Dexedrine(r) was better than performance under placebo, but consistent stimulant and fatigue effects were observed across both flight platforms less than one third of the time. Sensitivity was lower in the aircraft, likely because of differences due to environmental influences (weather, temperature, and turbulence) and other factors (radio traffic and, possibly, anxieties about safety). Thus, simulator studies, although desirable in terms of cost and safety, may overestimate the impact of stressors (e.g., fatigue) as well as the potential benefits from fatigue countermeasures (e.g., Dexedrine(r)). Conversely, in-flight studies may underestimate these types of performance effects. As a result, caution is advised when attempting to generalize findings from one flight platform to the other.

Transformational leadership was expected to augment the effects of transactional leadership on an array of unit outcomes and across organizational levels. In support of our hypotheses, transformational behavior was found to augment the effects of transactional behaviors on followers' job motivation and affective commitment, whereas transactional behaviors were associated with subordinates' calculative commitment. Results indicated that the unique effects of transformational leadership on subordinate job motivation increased as a function of leadership level. In addition, higher ranking officers were perceived as more transformational and less passive than were lower ranking officers. Theoretical and methodological implications of these findings for transformational leadership research are discussed.

The ACOMS data are unique because parents and children are linked, which allows researchers to analyze the influence of parental attitudes and behaviors on the enlistment decision independently of youth reports of their parents' attitudes. Results indicate that the youths' perceptions of parental attitudes toward the military and reported parental attitudes correlate at a low level (.14 to .22) showing that youth perceptions of parental attitudes cannot function as a proxy for actual parental attitudes. This may reflect a failure of parents to communicate clearly their attitudes or a failure of children to interpret them accurately. Results also indicate that (a) youth perceptions of parental attitudes predict stated enlistment propensity, which predicts military enlistment, and (b) reported parental attitudes predict military enlistment independently of youth-stated enlistment propensity. The analyses suggest that military enlistment might be enhanced through (a) fostering youth perceptions that competent parents have positive views of the military, (b) fostering positive parental attitudes by educating parents about military benefits and lifestyle, (c) using reports of positive parental attitudes as an indicator of their child's positive military enlistment propensity, and (d) actively involving parents in the enlistment process.

For this study a 34-item questionnaire was mailed to the 405 graduates of the 1992 and 1993 MSW classes of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia. Social wok practioners were asked to report their participation since graduation, in each of four research methods and activities: (1) single-system designs, (2) social surveys, (3) qualitative methods, and (4) quasi-experimental or experimental methods. The study concludes that although the failure to thrive of single-system designs has been documented, information about the kinds of research social workers actually conduct in social agencies remains obscure. To develop an objective understanding of practice-based research, therefore future studies should be guided by the exploratory research designs and questions and assessed with more inclusive measures sensitive to the diversity of research activities that may characterize social work practice.

The exposure produced skin damage in the form of erythema and blisters comprising less than 5% of the body surface area. Analytical methods verified and quantitatively analyzed the exposure by observing urinary thiodiglycol levels using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A maximum thiodiglycol urinary excretion rate of 20 μg/day was reached at day 3. Concentrations over 10 ng/mL were seen for as long as a week post exposure using the standard assay. First-order analysis of the elimination data yielded a thiodiglycol half-life of 1.2 d.

JO - Toxicology Methods JF - Toxicology Methods Y1 - 2000/04// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 151 EP - 163 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10517235 AB - A common experimental approach designed to elucidate biochemical mechanisms of action of disease states and toxicological insults is to systematically identify the differentially expressed genes between a particular cell state and control. Currently, there are a range of commonly used molecular toxicology methods that permit global differential gene expression studies (e.g., messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), differential display; subtractive hybridization; suppression polymerase chain reaction; serial analysis of gene expression). However, these studies usually are expensive and labor-intensive, and they often are difficult. The recent innovation and commercial availability of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) arrays can allow researchers to gather similar fundamental information by the methods mentioned above, but with considerably less cost, time, and difficulty. This study describes how DNA arrays were screened to generate an overview of the differential gene expression changes that occur within human epidermal keratinocytes after exposure to sulfur mustard (SM). Specifically, the gene expression pattern of healthy cells was compared directly to those exposed to vesicating concentrations of SM for 10 or 30 min. These time courses were examined since the SM-mediated injury process is attributed to irreversible events that occur within minutes of exposure. Several genes were identified that exhibited significant transcriptional upregulation and could have key roles in the early SM injury. These include the serine protease hepsin, the transcription factor STAT6, and the integral membrane protein heparin sulfate proteoglycan 2.

SN - 15733432 AB - As the treatability of the syndrome of autism becomes more possible there is a great deal more interest in the effectiveness of various therapies. Although the very influential nonmedical literature cited in the Autism Research Review International Newsletter finds that dimethylglycine (DMG) is regarded as more effective than the usual psychopharmacologic drugs, there have been no studies of DMG using the currently accepted research methodology. We report a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover pilot study of low dose DMG and placebo in a sample of eight autistic males ranging in age from 4 years 5 months to 30 years 8 months, who completed the full 3 1/2-month study consisting of drug-free baseline periods at the beginning, end, and in-between two, 1-month double-blind trials in which DMG or placebo was given. Measures included the Campbell–NIMH rating scale, an experimental rating scale, and an individualized scale created for each child. Analysis of all three scales revealed no statistically significant differences, and parent reports were equally distributed. The major methodologic weaknesses of the study are thought to be the low dosage of DMG and the small sample size.

A principal component factor analysis of Spielberger's Trait Anger and Anger Expression scales yielded two anger factors: Impulsive Anger-Out and Neurotic Anger. Impulsive anger-out significantly predicted a negative lipid profile (high total serum cholesterol (TSC), low density lipoproteins (LDL), TSC/HDL (high density lipids), and triglyceride levels) and heightened glucose levels, but only in physically unfit women. Neurotic anger did not predict lipid and glucose levels. These findings parallel previous findings regarding the two anger dimensions and CHD, with only impulsive anger-out predicting CHD. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the protective effect of physical fitness, previously documented for men, also occurs in women.

SN - 10755535 AB - Objectives: The clinical efficacy of many multiherbal Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) is partially attributable to their immunoregulatory properties. In this study we evaluated the effect of eight commonly used, commercially available multiherbal Chinese medicines on T-cell activation. We focused on Yin Zhi Huang (YZH, an injectable herbal medicine commonly used kr the weatment of liver diseases in China), because it was the most potent inhibitor of T-cell activation in our experimental system. The effects of 10 ingredient components of YZH were also evaluated. Methods: [³H] thymidine incorporation assay was used to assess mouse T-cell proliferation after stimulation with latex heads coated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. CD25, CD69, PD-I, and 1-COS expression by purified mouse CD4 T cells treated with plate-hound anti-CD3 antibody and soluble anti-CD28 antihody was analyzed by fluorescent-activated cell sorter (FACS). Cytokine/chemokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was determined by en- zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Among tested herbal medicines, YZH was the most potent inhibitor of T-cell activation. In splenocyte proliferation assays, the inhibitory effect of YZH was dose-dependent, with a 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of 1:3200-1:1600. Ten (10) purified compounds found in YZH were evaluated kr their activity. Among them, ursolic acid (1-10 p6mol), luteolin (1-10 μmol), baicalein (1-10 μmol), scopran (5-50 μmol), and crocin (5-50 μmol), exhibited dose-dependent inhibition. YZH also inhibited CD25, CD69, PD-I, and ICOS expression by stimulated mouse CD4 T cells. In human PBMCs, YZH inhibited SEB-stimulated cy- tokine (interleukin [IL]-1 IL-2, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor lTNFl-α, interferon IIFNI-γ) and chemokine (IP- 10, MCP-1, MIP-1α and MIP-1β) production in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Our data show for the First time that YZH is a Potent inhibitor of T-cell activation, and this property may he the major mechanism underlying the clinical efficacy of YZH. Our experimental results pave the way for identification of active component(s) and/or analysis of synergistic/additive effect of a YZH ingredient in future studies.

To detect SM-induced DNA single strand breaks in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), cells were exposed to various concentrations of SM (10 to 1000 μM), and the comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) was performed. We observed a SM concentration- and time-dependent increase in detectable DNA damage. To test whether SM-induced DNA cross-linking inhibits DNA migration in the comet assay, PBL were exposed to a) SM alone (10 to 1000 μM), b) H 2 O 2 (0.001%), which produces DNA single strand breaks with no cross-links, or c) SM followed at 2, 4, or 6 h by H 2 O 2 . With H 2 O 2 alone, a large amount of strand breakage was detected. With H 2 O 2 plus SM, detectable H 2 O 2 -induced strand breaks decreased as SM concentration increased up to 30 μM; at 30 μM and above, the response with H 2 O 2 plus SM was similar to that with SM alone. Interference with the detection of H 2 O 2 -induced DNA strand breaks appears to be SM concentration-dependent up to 30 μM, and independent of SM concentration at ≥30 μM. This is presumably due to SM-induced cross-linking. It follows that cross-linking in DNA of SM-exposed PBL also interferes with DNA migration and detection of DNA strand breaks when cells are exposed to SM alone.

Male animals were injected subcutaneously with sarin (GB), soman (GD) or VX once a day (Monday through Friday) for 2-, 4-, or 13-weeks. An initial 13-week study for each CWNA employed doses of vehicle (normal saline), 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.6x, and 0.8x the previously established acute LD 50 . A 2-week and 4-week exposure were also performed for each agent at doses less than the 13-week MTD to verify lack of toxicity. Animals dosed daily for 13 weeks with 0.4x LD 50 of GB or GD or with 0.2x LD 50 of VX did not display signs of acute cholinergic toxicity. In animals dosed daily for either 2- or 4-weeks, the MTDs were 0.4x the acute LD 50 for all three CWNA. There were no differences among these groups and their respective vehicle controls for weight gains, body temperature, complete blood cell counts, blood chemistries, nor by histopathology. At the MTD in all groups, red blood cell cholinesterase activity one hour after the last exposure was inhibited up to 90% compared with controls. The toxicity observed with repeated doses above the MTD for up to chronic exposure durations was not significantly different from symptoms observed after acute exposure. For all three nerve agents the MTDs for subacute exposure durations can be expressed by the same constant fraction of the acute LD 50 , despite differences in the absolute amount of nerve agent administered.

T1 - The Toxicokinetics of Cyanide and Mandelonitrile in the Horse and Their Relevance to the Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome. JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 13 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 199 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - The epidemiological association between black cherry trees and mare reproductive loss syndrome has focused attention on cyanide and environmental cyanogens. This article describes the toxicokinetics of cyanide in horses and the relationships between blood cyanide concentrations and potentially adverse responses to cyanide. To identify safe and humane blood concentration limits for cyanide experiments, mares were infused with increasing doses (1-12 mg/min) of sodium cyanide for 1 h. Infusion at 12 mg/min produced clinical signs of cyanide toxicity at 38 min; these signs included increased heart rate, weakness, lack of coordination, loss of muscle tone, and respiratory and behavioral distress. Peak blood cyanide concentrations were about 2500 ng/mL; the clinical and biochemical signs of distress reversed when infusion stopped. Four horses were infused with 1 mg/min of sodium cyanide for 1 h to evaluate the distribution and elimination kinetics of cyanide. Blood cyanide concentrations peaked at 1160 ng/mL and then declined rapidly, suggesting a two-compartment, open model. The distribution (alpha) phase half-life was 0.74 h, the terminal (beta phase) half-life was 16.16 h. The mean residence time was 12.4 h, the steady-state volume of distribution was 2.21 L/kg, and the mean systemic clearance was 0.182 L/h/kg. Partitioning studies showed that blood cyanide was about 98.5% associated with the red cell fraction. No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these infusion experiments. Mandelonitrile was next administered orally at 3 mg/kg to four horses. Cyanide was rapidly available from the orally administered mandelonitrile and the C max blood concentration of 1857 ng/mL was observed at 3 min after dosing; thereafter, blood cyanide again declined rapidly, reaching 100 ng/mL by 4 h postadministration. The mean oral bioavailability of cyanide from mandelonitrile was 57% ± 6.5 (SEM), and its apparent terminal half-life was 13 h ± 3 (SEM). No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these experiments. These data show that during acute exposure to higher doses of cyanide (∼600 mg/horse; 2500 ng/mL of cyanide in blood), redistribution of cyanide rapidly terminated the acute toxic responses. Similarly, mandelonitrile rapidly delivered its cyanide content, and acute cyanide intoxications following mandelonitrile administration can also be terminated by redistribution. Rapid termination of cyanide intoxication by redistribution is consistent with and explains many of the clinical and biochemical characteristics of acute, high-dose cyanide toxicity. On the other hand, at lower concentrations (<100 ng/mL in blood), metabolic transformation of cyanide is likely the dominant mechanism of termination of action. This process is slow, with terminal half-lives ranging from 12-16 hours. The large volume of distribution and the long terminal-phase-elimination half-life of cyanide suggest different mechanisms for toxicities and termination of toxicities associated with low-level exposure to cyanide. If environmental exposure to cyanide is a factor in the cause of MRLS, then it is likely in the more subtle effects of low concentrations of cyanide on specific metabolic processes that the associations will be found.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - A total of 475 US Marines were studied to investigate the effect of combat on eating behaviour. The amount of food troops ate during combat was estimated by using a food questionnaire, and factors determining this amount were identified. Results indicate that Marines reduced their food intake, especially during their first combat experience (68%). The principle reason for reduced consumption during combat was the lack of time to eat and prepare food (67%). Fear was important in accounting for reduced consumption during the marines' initial exposure to combat (32%). Results are consistent with other laboratory and survey findings that stress leads to a reduction in food intake.

The long-term intake capacity per cycle is the critical design parameter needed in this approach. Analysis of data from eight operational systems indicate that the intake capacity is mainly a function of the period of application.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - An immunohistochemical assay was developed combining an avidin-biotin-glucose oxidase complex procedure (ABC-GO) with light microscopy to detect specific antibody against P. falciparum. Thin blood films were prepared from culture material of P. falciparum and fixed with acetone. Antibody was detected by successive incubation with test serum, biotinylated goat anti-human antibody, avidin-biotin-glucose oxidase complex, and glucose oxidase substrate. In the presence of positive serum, a blue precipitate formed on the parasites and could be visually observed with a 40× objective. Sera from patients with single infections for P. vivax or P. ovale did not react. No cross-reactivity was observed with sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, filariasis, amoebiasis, schistosomiasis, dengue, scrub typhus, leptospirosis, or toxoplasmosis. The sensitivity of ABC-GO is comparable to that of the IFAT.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - A visual ELISA using urease (ELISA-U) as the enzyme marker was adapted for the rapid detection of antibody against P. falciparum. Flat-bottom, 96-well microtitre plates were coated with P. falciparum soluble antigen obtained by saponin and NP-40 treatment of parasite cultures. Antibody was detected by successive incubations with test sera, urease-conjugated rabbit-human antibody, and urease substrate. Reactive sera developed a definite and easily visualized purple colour. Sera from patients with single infections of P. vivax or P. ovale were unreactive. No cross-reactivity was noted with sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, filariasis, amoebiasis, schistosomiasis, dengue, scrub typhus, leptospirosis, or toxoplasmosis. The procedure can be performed at room temperature and completed within 1 h. The sensitivity of the assay was comparable to that of the IFAT at all but the lowest dilutions tested.

The mass spectra indicated the formation of corresponding molecular ion-ammonium adducts in great abundance. Experiments designed for monitoring specific ions of these analytes at predesignated intervals were utilized for the accurate analysis of these macrocyclic trichothecenes in crude samples of Brazilian Baccharis megapotamica and B. cordifolia. A synthetically modified macrocyclic trichothecene, 8-ketoverrucarin A, was used as the internal standard for the detection and quantification of these compounds.

The prevalence of HB markers was 20 per cent. and hepatitis A antibody was present in 25 per cent. A six-month follow-up, conducted on 260 individuals initially negative for all four tests, revealed that 11 of these were now HB seropositive, whereas none had seroconverted to anti-HA positive. The HB virus was the principal agent responsible for hepatitis in the unit surveyed. (Am J Public Health 69:1216-1219, 1979.)

AB - The effectiveness of virtual environments (VEs) has often been linked to the sense of presence reported by users of those VEs. (Presence is defined as the subjective experience of being in one place or environment, even when one is physically situated in another.) We believe that presence is a normal awareness phenomenon that requires directed attention and is based in the interaction between sensory stimulation, environmental factors that encourage involvement and enable immersion, and internal tendencies to become involved. Factors believed to underlie presence were described in the premier issue of Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments. We used these factors and others as the basis for a presence questionnaire (PQ) to measure presence in VEs. In addition we developed an immersive tendencies questionnaire (ITQ) to measure differences in the tendencies of individuals to experience presence. These questionnaires are being used to evaluate relationships among reported presence and other research variables. Combined results from four experiments lead to the following conclusions: (1) the PQ and ITQ are internally consistent measures with high reliability; (2) there is a weak but consistent positive relation between presence and task performance in VEs; (3) individual tendencies as measured by the ITQ predict presence as measured by the PQ; and (4) individuals who report more simulator sickness symptoms in VE report less presence than those who report fewer symptoms.

Nanogram (250 ng) quantities of several macrocyclic trichothecenes with different verrucarol and ester moieties were analyzed successfully with good precision by this procedure. The method was applicable for the accurate determination of at least low p.p.b. levels of these macrocyclic trichothecenes in environmental samples, such as fungal products, fermentation broths, and plant samples. This is the first reported, well developed, sensitive, and applicable method for the detection and quantitation of these compounds in naturally occurring samples.

When 10% of HT-2, the only known metabolite that cross-reacts with T-2, was included and expressed as T-2 equivalents in the radiochromatographic detection, correlation between toxin detection in liver, spleen, and kidney by the 2 techniques was r=0.98. An unknown metabolite was detected in heart extract by radiochromatography. Inclusion of this material in the T-2 equivalents detected by radiochromatography indicated a near-perfect correlation (r=0.95;p > 0.05; slope = 0.82;y intercept = 72) among all 4 tissues.

For T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, and 4,15-diacetoxyscirpenol, LC50 values obtained were 172, 600, and 700 µg/litre, respectively. The LC50 for 4-deoxynivalenol was 21 mg/litre. A more than 5-fold increase in sensitivity was observed when solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used in conjunction with the Artemia bioassay. For T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, and 4,15-diacetoxyscirpenol, LC50/SPE values after solid-phase extraction were 21, 83, and 130 µg/litre.

N2 - In an attempt to develop a standard method for the isolation of viruses from sludge a subcommitteee of the American Society for Testing and Materials has organized the comparative testing of 2 candidate methods. These techiques, the outcome of an earlier screening process, are described as a low pH-aluminium chloride method and a sonication-extraction method. Five representative sewage sludges were concentrated by both methods in 8 laboratories and the concentrates were cultured. As a check on uniformity a portion of each concentrate was cultured by one laboratory using a single cell line. Virus isolates were not identified. The results were analysed statistically.The low pH-aluminium chloride method was found to give slightly higher recoveries for all except dewatered sludge but the precision of both methods was not significantly different. It was concluded that both techniques had advantages and disadvantages depending on the number of samples to be processed and the equipment available and both needed further development. Both were recommended for adoption as tentative standard methods.[Anyone wishing to concentrate viruses from sludge should consider using one of these methods. Also, anyone about to undertake the comparative testing of virological methods, of which there is a great need, will find this paper valuable.]J.S. Slade.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Extraction of trinitrotoluene (TNT), trinitrobenzene (TNB), hexahydrotrinitrotriazine (RDX), and octahydrotetranitrotetrazocine (HMX) from two soils was studied in terms of process kinetics and recovery. Two solvents, acetonitrile and methanol, and four extraction techniques, Soxhlet, ultrasonic bath, mechanical shaker, and homogenizer-sonicator, were compared. The results were complex in that several interactions were found among analyte, method, and solvent. Acetonitrile was superior to methanol for RDX and HMX from the perspectives of kinetics and recovery, due in part to a much higher solubility. The Soxhlet and ultrasonic bath generally recovered more than the homogenizer or shaker, although a complicating factor was that all techniques were not necessarily at equilibrium. In terms of sample throughput, the ultrasonic bath and shaker offer advantages over the Soxhlet and homogenizer-sonicator. The ultrasonic bath generally approached equilibrium more rapidly than the shaker, so it appears to be the best overall choice. A spike-recovery study using fortified soil and the sonic bath method yielded complete recoveries of TNT and RDX at 1.6 and 2.3 μg/g, respectively.

An indicator of potential viral activity was produced from satellite data for two different ecological regions in Kenya, where RVF is endemic. The correlation between the satellite-derived green vegetation index and the ecological parameters associated with RVF virus suggested that satellite data may become a forecasting tool for RVF in Kenya and, perhaps, in other areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Resistance to mefloquine in Plasmodium falciparum has begun to occur along the border of Thailand and Kampuchea. As a means of assessing the natural occurrence of mefloquine resistance, the admission and post-treatment parasite isolates from a mefloquine treatment failure were cloned and characterized. Clones from the admission isolate were susceptible to mefloquine in vitro (ID50 of 3.4 [2-5], G [95% CI] ng/ml) and showed a mixture of isozyme types for glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI types I and II). The post-treatment clones were resistant to mefloquine in vitro (ID50 of 17.3 [13-23] ng/ml) with only one isozyme (GPI type I) detected. These observations suggest that under mefloquine pressure a resistant parasite population was selected in the patient, indicating that the potential for mefloquine resistance already exists in the indigenous P. falciparum gene pool. In addition, the mefloquine-resistant clones showed decreased susceptibility in vitro to halofantrine suggesting possible cross-resistance to this new antimalarial drug currently under development.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Tropical Diseases N2 - One of the areas of South-east Asia where resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine and other 4-aminoquinolines is particularly high is the border zone between Thailand and Kampuchea. Multiresistant strains of P. falciparum are common and even the pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine combination has lost much of its previous value; moreover quinine alone is only 50% effective, and strains with mefloquine resistance at RII level have been reported. The aim of this study was to obtain baseline data on drug response patterns of P. falciparum infections in 3 areas of Thailand: Chantaburi, Phrabuddabat and Borai. The authors tested 33 strains of P. falciparum against the activity of chloroquine, quinine, mefloquine, and halofantrine using a radioisotope microdilution method. The radioisotopically labelled compound was [³H]hypoxanthine added after 24-h incubation of the in vitro culture to each well containing parasite-infected erythrocytes; there followed another 20-24-h incubation before the collection and measurement of the radioactivity on filter strip disks in a scintillation counter. The results of testing against the 4 drugs simultaneously were as follows: the mean inhibitory dose (ID50, defined as ng/ml of drug producing 50% inhibition of hypoxanthine uptake), in the 3 sites combined, was 97.08 for chloroquine, 165.61 for quinine, 5.33 for mefloquine and 0.68 for halofantrine. These results reflected known resistance of local malaria parasite isolates to chloroquine and quinine, and susceptibility of isolates to mefloquine and halofantrine. However, 4 isolates showed markedly decreased susceptibility to mefloquine and one of these isolates corresponded to the first case of RII resistance to this compound in Thailand. Other isolates showed also a decreased susceptibility to halofantrine. The authors advise that in vitro testing using this method should be widely used for field evaluation of new antimalarial compounds.[This elegant method of testing for drug resistance merits much wider use but depends on the availability of proper equipment. The authors rightly point out that the epidemiological value of testing for drug resistance cannot be based on the results of in vitro tests only but requires 3 elements of information: clinical observation, serum drug concentrations and in vitro susceptibility data. The paper should be read in its entirety.]L.J. Bruce-Chwatt<new para>ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:<new para>Antimalarial activity of chloroquine, quinine, mefloquine and halofantrine against 33 strains of P. falciparum isolated from naturally acquired malaria infections in Thailand was determined using a radioisotope microdilution method. A microtitration procedure was used to test isolates of P. falciparum against the 4 drugs simultaneously. The mean ID50 for chloroquine and quinine reflected known resistance to those drugs in Thailand. The mean ID50 for mefloquine and halofantrine showed susceptibility to these drugs. 4 isolates of P. falciparum however had markedly decreased susceptibility to mefloquine (ID50 > 15 ng/ml); one case of which was confirmed as the first case of RII resistance for mefloquine in Thailand. Several parasite isolates were also observed to have decreased susceptibility to the new drug, halofantrine.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - The removal of seeded coliphage f2 and indigenous enteroviruses from primary and secondary wastewaters applied by spray irrigation to sandy loam and silt loam soils in field test cells was examined. The amount of f2 recovered from 170-cm-deep soil percolate samples taken over a 53-day period never exceeded 0.1% of applied virus levels and was usually below detection limits. Indigenous enterovirus levels in percolate waters also constituted only a small portion of those found in the wastewaters. At 10 days after seeding, f2 virus was present throughout the soil column but tended to accumulate around the soil core middepths. It disappeared rapidly from the soil surface regions, and by 53 days very little virus could be detected within the length of the soil columns. Sterilized soil core segments from different depths were studied to determine their virus adsorption capabilities when suspended in wastewater, test cell percolate water or distilled water containing divalent cations. The adsorptive capacity of Windsor and Charlton soils for poliovirus 1 and coliphage f2 increased greatly with the soil sample depth until leveling off at the midcore depths. Soil suspended in wastewater had the least virus adsorption capability for all depths studied. Coliphage f2 was rapidly inactivated in filter-sterilised percolate fluids, while poliovirus 1 was stable in all fluids tested.

Subject Subsets: Soils & Fertilizers N2 - Winter application of waste water was feasible even at very cold air temperatures (below zero C) at the New Hampshire test site. High nitrate concentrations were observed in all treatments (5-15 cm/week) in early summer. This was explained as leaching of ammonium stored over the winter months after its oxidation to nitrate in early spring. Over the year of study, removal of organic C, BOD, suspended solids, fecal coliform bacteria and P by the two soil types (a sandy loam and a silt loam) was essentially complete. These had very little or no effect on groundwater quality. The principal mechanism for N removal was plant uptake by the forage cover, which was seasonally dependent. Application of 15 cm of effluent per week to a sandy loam soil was not feasible because of the presence of > 10 mg nitrate-N/l in the leachate for > 9 mo/year. Application of salts for road deicing resulted in higher concentrations of salts and Cl in the ground for a short period of time. Movement of applied heavy metals to a depth of 15-30 cm under high treatment rates was thought to result from a drop in soil pH. In all other treatments, heavy metals were confined to the top 15 cm of soil.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - The effect of pyrimethamine and the combination of pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine (Fansidar) upon acute vivax malaria was studied in Thailand. Pyrimethamine was found to be ineffective, providing clearance of parasitaemia in only 2 of 6 patients by the end of 7 days following treatment. The combination, administered in a 2-tablet single dose (sulfadoxine 1 gm, pyrimethamine 50 mg) eliminated parasitaemia in only 6 of 10 patients within 7 days. 3 tablets (sulfadoxine 1.5 gm, pyrimethamine 75 mg) provided clearance of parasitaemia in all 11 patients within 7 days; however, mean parasite and fever clearance times in this group were prolonged at 90 and 50 hours respectively. Chloroquine remains the drug of choice for the termination of the acute attack of vivax malaria. Subsequent primaquine is necessary for the prevention of relapse.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - A chemosuppressive field trial in an area of Thailand with known chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria was undertaken to test the efficacy of the preparation sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in suppressing falciparum and vivax parasitaemias. 747 Thai villagers were randomly assigned to one of 5 study groups: sulfadoxine (1,000mg)-pyrimethamine (50 mg) every 2 weeks [S-Py (high dose)]; sulfadoxine (500 mg)-pyrimethamine (25 mg) every 2 weeks [S-Py (low dose)]; diformyldapsone (400 mg)-pyrimethamine (25 mg) weekly [DFD1Py (high dose)]; diformyldapsone (200 mg)-pyrimethamine (12.5 mg) weekly [DFD-Py (low dose)]; and placebo. 688 study subjects (92%) completed the 26-week trial. Sulfadoxine (1,000 mg)-pyrimethamine (50 mg) given every 2 weeks was shown to be an effective chemosuppressive against both falciparum and vivax parasitaemias, causing an 8-fold reduction in falciparum parasitaemias, and an approximately 3-fold reduction in vivax parasitaemias. While the low dose S-Py group and the 2 DFD-Py groups were less effective than the high dose S-Py group in suppressing falciparum parasitaemias, the high dose DFD-Py combination was as effective as the high dose S-Py combination in suppressing vivax parasitaemias. There was no evidence of drug reactions. A discernible decrease in the leukocyte count was noted over a 6-month period in the high dose S-Py group.

Chloroquine at 1.5g given over 3 days cured none of 11. In hospital, amodiaquine cleared parasitaemia more frequently than did chloroquine. With the 2.0g course of amodiaquine the mean parasite clearance time was 77 hours; the mean fever clearance time of 36 hours was low; apparently amodiaquine does not cause a drug fever. The predominant response to amodiaquine was RI rather than RII. Routine use of amodiaquine is not recommended in Thailand as more effective drugs are available.

The effectiveness of the formulation as a mosquito larvicide was evaluated for 22 weeks. The results of assays in the pools indicated sufficient chlorpyrifos was present to control effectively mosquitos (mortality of at least 80%) within 1 week in two of three pools dosed at 1.00 p.p.m. and remained effective throughout the 22-week study. Natural mosquito infestation rates were significantly lower in treated compared with untreated pools, indicating sufficient toxicant were present in pools treated at all three dosage rates to be lethal to newly hatched larvae.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - In this further paper of a series concerned with the evaluation of mosquito larvicides incorporated in slow-release plastic pellets, an account is given of laboratory tests in the United States of the effects of continuous exposure to low concentrations of Dursban (chlorpyrifos) on the larvae of Culex pipiens fatigans Wied. (pipiens quinquefasciatus auct.). All the concentrations tested were below 0.0009 p.p.m., the LC90 of Dursban for fourth-instar larvae of C. p. fatigans, and were produced by adding different numbers of polyvinyl chloride pellets containing 0.1% toxicant (analytical grade) to glass jars holding 3 litres of distilled water. The pellets weighed 84 mg on average and had a specific gravity greater than 1.xTwo series of tests were carried out. In the first, 32 untreated or 1, 4, 8, 16 or 32 treated pellets (corresponding to application of the toxicant at rates of 0.02, 0.11, 0.22, 0.45 and 0.89 p.p.m.) were added to the jars. Weekly bioassays of the water in the treated jars were made with 20 fourth-instar larvae of C. p. fatigans, and when mortality was no longer observed the jars were considered to contain the requisite low concentrations of Dursban. Egg-masses less than 12 h old and containing known numbers of eggs of C. p. fatigans were then added to the jars together with larval food, and the percentage hatch and the numbers of pupae and adults that resulted were noted. The results of duplicate tests showed that hatching was not affected by low concentrations of Dursban but that the numbers of pupae and adults produced were inversely proportional to the numbers of treated pellets added. Pupal production, as compared with that in the jar with untreated pellets, was reduced by about 38% in the jar with 4 treated pellets, about 55% in the one with 8, about 90% in the one with 16 and 100% in the one with 32.wThe second series of tests was carried out in much the same manner as the first. Only three application rates were tested, first-instar larvae were added to the jars instead of egg-masses, the actual concentrations of Dursban were determined, and all the tests were triplicated. In jars to which 4 treated pellets had been added, the average concentration of Dursban was less than 0.0001 p.p.m. and pupal production was reduced by 47.3%; in those to which 8 had been added, the concentration averaged 0.00014 p.p.m. and the reduction 76.2%; and in those to which 16 had been added, the concentration averaged 0.00023 p.p.m. and the reduction 99.7%. Since these concentrations would be expected to produce mortalities in 24 h of only 0-5%, it appears that Dursban possesses chronic toxicity in low concentrations. Many of the larvae reached the third or even fourth instar before dying. It is stated that although control of the laboratory populations was achieved by continuous exposure to the low concentrations, the levels (<0.0001-0.00023 p.p.m.) are not considered sufficiently below the established LC90 of 0.0009 p.p.m. to be significant from the standpoint of possibly reducing the necessary field dosages.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - This is a further paper of a series concerned with the evaluation of mosquito larvicides incorporated in slow-release plastic pellets. Laboratory tests are described in which the concentration of Dursban (chlorpyrifos) in water was determined for 16 weeks after the addition of three types of pellets impregnated with the toxicant. All three types of pellets were cylindrical, 1 mm in diameter and heavier than water. Those of the first (M-3712) were 2.5 mm long and contained 5.6% Dursban; those of the second (M-3713) and third (M-3714) were 5 mm long and contained 5.6 and 9.7% Dursban, respectively. All were tested at rates of application of the toxicant of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 p.p.m. It was found that the concentrations produced were proportional to the application rate and were not significantly affected by the type of pellet. The average concentrations during the 16 weeks were 0.0193, 0.0397 and 0.0594 p.p.m. at application rates of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 p.p.m. At all three rates, the concentrations rose until about the eighth week, then fell slightly and levelled off at about the sixteenth week; in the second, eighth and sixteenth weeks, they were about 0.012, 0.022 and 0.020 p.p.m. at the lowest application rate, 0.020, 0.045 and 0.040 p.p.m. at the intermediate rate and 0.044, 0.066 and 0.058 p.p.m. at the highest. As the application rate needed to produce a given concentration would be lowest for the M-3714 pellets containing 9.7% Dursban, these are considered to be the most suitable for field tests against mosquito larvae.

Number of References: 30 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The brain is not required for ovipositon in five species of Blaberids; the control centre for the formation, the 90 deg counterclockwise rotation and the retraction of the ootheca lies in the abdomen. A similar centre controls ootheca formation and 90 deg clockwise rotation in Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattellidae). It is suggested that during oviposition abdominal proprioceptors or musculature contribute nervous information to the last abdominal ganglion. Nerve impulses are presumably integrated in the last abdominal ganglion and transmitted to the colleterial glands, oviducts and ovipositor. In Periplaneta americana (L.) (Blattidae), the brain is needed for initiating egg-case formation, but it is unnecessary once the process has begun. The results suggest a divergence of control centres for oviposition between the Blaberoidea and Blattoidea.

Number of References: 3 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The numbers of mosquitos caught in CDC light-traps fitted with a standard incandescent lamp and 6 other types were compared in field tests in the Panama Canal Zone in late 1973. The 6 types comprised a chemical lamp (Chemlite), blue, green, white and yellow tritium-powered lamps (Betalights) and a blinking lamp that produced low-intensity flashes at the rate of 2/s. Coquillettidia venezuelensis (Theo.), Mansonia titillans (Wlk.), Uranotaenia lowii Theo. and a species of Culex were the predominant species of mosquitos present. The trap indices (mean nightly catch of adults/trap) were 252 for the standard lamp, 114 (significantly lower) for the chemical lamp and 3-30 (significantly lower than 114) for the other lamps. These results differ considerably from those obtained in earlier tests in Maryland, where mosquitos were more abundant and no significant difference was found between the indices for traps with standard, chemical and blue, green and white tritium lamps. Although in the later tests the chemical lamp was less effective than the standard, it is considered to be a suitable substitute in view of its cheaper operating costs since the size of the catches was adequate for surveillance purposes.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Slow-release pellets containing Dursban (chlorpyrifos) were evaluated as mosquito larvicides in comparison with an emulsion formulation of the same compound in field tests in Maryland lasting 24 weeks in 1970. The tests were carried out in 60 artificial pools (boxes lined with polyethylene sheeting), some shaded and others unshaded, some with soil at the bottom and some without, each containing about 255 litres of water. Three types of pellet were evaluated: M-3409, polyethylene pellets of average weight 9.9 mg containing 9.9% Dursban; PVC-10, polyvinyl chloride pellets of average weight 45.6 mg containing 10%; and M-3570, polyethylene pellets of average weight 15.8 mg containing 11.5%. The M-3409 pellets were lighter than water; the other types were heavier than water. Dursban was applied at 15.5 kg/ha (5.0 p.p.m.) in pellets and at 0.028 kg/ha (0.0009 p.p.m.), the recommended rate, in the emulsion. Weekly determinations were made of the concentration of Dursban in the pools and of the mortality of fourth-instar larvae of Culex pepiens fatigans Wied. (p. quinque-fasciatus auct.) after confinement for 24 h in cups in the pools. A single application of the emulsion gave effective control for only 1 - 2 weeks. A single application of each type of pellet gave effective control for 24 weeks; the average mortalities during that period were 93.8% for PVC-10, 99.5% for M-3570 and 100% for M-3409. [cf. RAE/B 59. 1273]. In pools treated with M-3409, excessive residues were produced during 8 of the 24 weeks; in those treated with the other forumulations, residues were not excessive. The average Dursban concentrations were lower in pools with soil than in those without and higher in shaded than in unshaded pools.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - In further field tests in Maryland in 1970 essentially similar to those described in the first paper of this series [cf. preceding abstract], polyethylene pellets M-3570, containing 11.5% Dursban (chlorpyrifos) were evaluated as mosquito larvicides in comparison with an emulsion formulation of the same compound. The results were assessed by the methods previously used and also by weekly observations on the egg-masses, larvae, pupae and adults (caught in floating emergence cages) of Culex spp., mainly C. restuans Theo and C. pipiens fatigans Wied. (p. quinquefasciatus auct.), occurring naturally in treated and untreated arfificial pools. It was found that the emulsion, which was applied at the rate of 0.0009 p.p.m. toxicant, gave effective control of Culex spp. for three weeks and that the pellets, which were applied at 2.5 p.p.m. toxicant, gave effective control throughout the 21 weeks of the tests. It was also found that the effectiveness of the formulations could not be evaluated adequately by examining only the naturally occurring populations of mosquito larvae and adults as these populations did not remain at a high enough level throughout the test period. However, the monitoring of insecticide residue levels and the use of mosquito larvae in laboratory tests provided consistent measures of larvicidal effectiveness.

In the pools treated with Dursban at 2.5 p.p.m. in plastic pellets (M-3570), the populations of Gerrids and the Chaoborid were reduced for 9 weeks and those of Chironomids and the Dytiscid for about 11 weeks.

N1 - Accession Number: 19730509527. Publication Type: Journal Article. Language: English. Number of References: 2 ref. Registry Number: 2921-88-2. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - In tests described in the first paper of this series [cf. preceding abstract but two], polyethylene pellets containing 9.9% (M-3409) or 11.5% (M-3570) Dursban (chlorpyrifos) and polyvinyl chloride pellets (PVC-10) containing 10% were applied to artificial pools at a rate of 5.0 p.p.m. toxicant, and the concentrations of Dursban in the pools were determined for 6 months, from May to October 1970. The results of monthly determinations of the concentrations in the same pools for a further year are reported in this fourth paper of the series. Over the 18-month period, the average concentrations of Dursban were 0.0147 p.p.m. in pools treated with M-3409, 0.0015 in those treated with PVC-10 and 0.0025 in those treated with M-3570. The M-3409 pellets lost 91.6% of their Dursban content during this period, the PVC-10 pellets lost 16.7% and the M-3570 pellets 28.8%. Except in December 1970 in ponds treated with PVC-10, the concentrations did not fall below 0.0009 p.p.m., the LC90 of Dursban for fourth-instar larvae of Culex pipiens fatigans Wied. (p. quinquefasciatus auct.), and the treatments are therefore considered to have remained effective as mosquito larvicides for at least 18 months. It is pointed out that the large quantities of pellets (131-153 kg/ha) required to obtain these results may render such treatments impracticable for large-scale use in the field.

Number of References: 22 ref. Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The corpora allata are inhibited during pregnancy in Eublaberus posticus (Erichs.), which is ovoviviparous, and yolk is not deposited in the basal oocytes for the entire or almost the entire gestation period. Precocious oocyte development occurs if the ootheca is removed, but this can be prevented by substituting a plastic ootheca for the true egg case in the uterus. Implantation of the uterus containing an ootheca into the abdomen of a female whose ootheca is removed does not prevent precocious oocyte development even though many of the eggs in the implant grow and stretch the donor uterus. These experiments do not support the hypothesis that an 'agent' from the uterine eggs or stretched uterus inhibits the activity of the corpora allata and support the hypothesis that inhibition from the uterus is mechanical.Cyclical activity of neurosecretory cells in certain abdominal ganglia in one species of ovoviviparous cockroach has been correlated with the cyclical inhibition of the oocytes during pregnancy. Mechanoreceptors are found in the uterus of several ovoviviparous species, including Eublaberus. In Eublaberus, transecting the nerve cord between various ganglia in pregnant females only results in a marked decrease in the percentage of females showing precocious oocyte development when the nerves posterior to the sixth abdominal ganglion are severed. However, the results are the same if these nerves are severed after removing the ootheca. It is suggested that pressure of the ootheca on mechanoreceptors in the uterus, or cessation of pressure (after removal of the ootheca) result in sensory information being transmitted to the last abdominal ganglion which affect the corpora allata perhaps indirectly by controlling the activity of the neurosecretory cells in various abdominal ganglia.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - It has been shown by other workers that when given a choice between contaminated and uncontaminated paper, young nymphs of several species of cockroaches will aggregate on paper contaminated by their own or another species. In a few instances, a species may be repelled by the fouling of another species (e.g., Blattella germanica (L.) by Symploce capitata (Sauss.) and Diploptera punctata (Eschscholtz). Usually, a species can discriminate between and prefers its own faecal contamination to that of others. However, one cannot assume that all species of cockroaches produce a faecal aggregation pheromone simply because other species collect on paper contaminated by them.When nymphs of 14 species were tested in pairs in 32 combinations in a chamber with 8 shelters, in 17 cases the two segregated, in 10 they were more or less indifferent to one another, and in 5 they mixed. Mixing of two species occurred mainly within the Blaberinae and Oxyhaloinae, but 7 of the 9 species tested belonged to these two subfamilies.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Survey of antibody to Rickettsia orientalis (R. tsutsugamushi) were carried out in small mammals in three habitats in Sabah, Malaysia. The over-all rate of positives was 14% in primary and secondary forest and 7% in edge habitats. Arboreal mammals appeared to be little involved in transmission. Species of Leptotrombidium were uncommon among Trombiculids. The proportions of Trombiculids from the host mammals that yielded most of the positive reactions in the serological tests were 27% of 104 mites from Rattus cremoriventer, 7% of 859 mites from R. muelleri, none from R. sabanus and 1% of 674 mites from R. whiteheadi. Leptotrombidium deliense (Walch), a known vector of Rickettsia orientalis, was found infesting only 3 individuals of Rattus muelleri, all of which were negative in the tests, and 4 individuals of Tupaia tana, a species that yielded no positive individuals in the serological tests. It is doubtful if all the infections can be attributed to transmission by L. deliense as it was so rare.

Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Veterinary Science N2 - As part of a study of the ecology of Japanese encephalitis virus in the Chiangmai Valley, Thailand, where an epidemic occurred in 1969 [cf. RAE/B 61, 1786], entomological investigations were made to identify the mosquito vectors and to determine their seasonal abundance, host preferences and patterns of biting activity. During 1970, more than 400 000 mosquitos were collected from rural and urban sites in the valley and tested for virus. Thirteen strains of Japanese encephalitis virus were isolated from mosquitos collected between April and October; eight were from pools of Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles, three from C. gelidus Theo., and two from C. fuscocephalus Theo. Two strains of Tembusu virus were isolated from C. gelidus, and one from a pool containing mosquitos of the complex of C. vishnui Theo. Twenty-nine unidentified virus strains were also isolated.Peaks in the population densities of C. fuscocephalus, C. gelidus and C. tritaeniorhynchus, as measured by weekly light-trap collections, occurred during the rainy season (April-October) at the time human and animal Japanese encephalitis virus infections occur. Analysis of mosquito blood-meals indicated that, although the three vector species fed on man and a variety of domestic animals, their most frequent hosts were buffalo and cattle. Feeding activity by the three species began after dusk and continued throughout the night. These mosquitos were predominantly exophilous, and very few were collected inside houses. The findings suggest that the three incriminated vector species are principally involved in the maintenance of a cycle of Japanese encephalitis virus in domestic animals and that man only occasionally becomes involved in the Chiangmai Valley.

Subject Subsets: Veterinary Science; Veterinary Science; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Ingwavuma virus (ING), a Simbu group arbovirus, was isolated from a pool of Culex vishnui complex mosquitoes in the Chiangmai Valley, Thailand in 1970. ING neutralizing (N) antibody was found in 32% of pigs and 20% of dogs indigenous to the valley, but not in domestic fowl, cattle, or man. N antibody was also found in pigs from western, central and north-eastern Thailand. From 22 pigs lacking ING N antibody studied in central Thailand from March to June 1972, ING was isolated from the blood of 11 of the 16 with serologically confirmed infections. These findings extend the range of Ingwavuma virus eastward from Africa and India and define the important role of the domestic pig as a host of ING in Thailand.

The animals were randomly assigned to a control or treatment group and were given a median lethal dose of 0.6 ml./kg. of kerosene intratracheally. Animals in the treatment group were given dexamethasone sodium phosphate (Decadron) I.M. Two mg. were given immediately after instillation of kerosene, and this was followed by one mg. every 6 hours for 48 hours. Ampicillin sodium was given I.M. in a dose of 25 mg./kg. every 6 hours for 10 days. There was no statistical difference between the control and treated animals for mortality; respiration and pulse rates; clinical appearance; arterial \IT/p\OK/H, oxygen pressure, and carbon dioxide pressure; complete blood cell count; serum electrolyte levels; roentgenograms of the chest; or gross and microsocpic pulmonary pathologic findings. The results provide no evidence that currently recommended corticosteroids and antibiotics are efficacious in the treatment of fulminant cases of hydrocarbon aspiration.

Kepler N2 - The rate and degree of absorption of 2 brands of chloramphenicol, Chloromycetin and Amphicol, were compared in 20 healthy males. Ten volunteers received 1 g. of Chloromycetin and the other 10 received 1 g. of Amphicol, orally every 6 hours for 48 hours. All subjects who received Chloromycetin had detectable serum concentrations within one hour. In contrast, detectable serum concentrations were not achieved in all the volunteers who received Amphicol until the fifteenth hour. At 18, 18 1/2, 24 and 48 hours after initial ingestion, serum concentrations in those receiving Amphicol were significantly greater than in those receiving Chloromycetin. Urinary studies suggest that total absorption of both products is similar, but Chloromycetin was absorbed and excreted more rapidly than Amphicol. The Amphicol formulation used in this study is not the formulation of Amphicol which is presently marketed by McKesson Laboratories.

Scatchard analysis of the in vitro data showed that II bound to I with a maximum binding capacity of 0.692 mM toxin/g of I with a dissociation constant of 0.016 mM. While an oral dose of II mixed with I modulated the toxicity of II, an oral pretreatment with I did not prevent the lethal effects of oral or IP II in mice.

Absorption of I was assessed by appearance of I in the serum and by changes in heart rate, salivary secretion, pupil diameters and near vision accommodation. The absorption of I was significantly greater in the first 30 min following injection with the MARK I, probably due to a combination of its broader dispersal of I in the muscle site and its separation of I from II. Salivary secretion appeared to be the most convenient and sensitive marker of I action. The dose of I delivered by both devices gave near maximal antisialogogue activity in the subjects.

After 4 days, there was minimal elevation of the patient's prothrombin time (PT). The PT levels remained subtherapeutic, despite an increase in I dosage to 17.5 mg/day. Sucralfate and III were discontinued and the dose of I was simultaneously decreased to 10 mg/day. Within 2 days, this change resulted in a therapeutic PT of greater than 1.5 times control. This effect was attributed to a direct drug interaction between I and II, possibly by interference during the initiation of I therapy. Indomethacin may act to increase PT and its contribution to the decreased PT in this case was doubted.

The cumulative Japanese encephalitis rates were 51 per 100,000 in children receiving placebo, compared with 5 per 100,000 in children in each vaccine group. The efficacy rate in both vaccine groups was 91%. Attack rates for dengue hemorrhagic fever declined in the vaccinated group but the decline was not significant. A significant decrease in the severity of dengue hemorrhagic fever, however, was observed with vaccination.

The U.S. Army Allergen Extract Laboratory provides diagnostic and therapeutic allergen extract materials to military personnel throughout the world. More than 40,000 individualized prescriptions are compounded annually. The staff is composed of one pharmacist, 16 medical technicians, and 4 clerical, 2 inventory and 3 support personnel. Each prescription takes about one man-hour to prepare. Following a physician-allergist's evaluation of a patient, a prescription is written with a formula itemizing the specific allergen components desired and their relative concentrations, and a treatment schedule. Patient profile cards are kept on every patient. A complete record of patient, prescriber, demographic data, allergen formula, treatment schedule, lots, and initials of personnel responsible at each step allow a thorough assessment for QC and QA. The identity and volume of the allergens in each prescription are checked twice. A QA and QC assessment was conducted on more than 18,000 prescriptions received during a 6-month period. More than 99% of all errors were discovered before the prescriptions were dispensed. It was concluded that pharmacists and coworkers in the facility ensure the optimal quality of diagnostic and therapeutic allergen extracts.

II, 1.0 mg/70 kg IV, caused sedation and ventilatory depression in 8 volunteers. I increased sedation and further decreased ventilation with each dose to 6.6 liters/min after 134 mcg/kg. The combination of I and II decreased the carbon dioxide ventilation slope from 2.23 to 0.88 liters/min/torr. When I, 134 mcg/kg, was added to II, which alone caused no significant cardiovascular change, cardiac index and heart rate significantly increased and total peripheral resistance decreased. Heart rates exceeded 150 beats/min in 2 subjects after 27 and 134 mcg/kg I. III alone, 100 mg/70 kg IV, cause no significant ventilatory or cardiovascular change. I, after III pretreatment, induced hallucinations and anxiety in 5 of 7 volunteers; 4 failed to complete all 5 doses of I because of the severe psychologic effects. The combination of III and 40 to 134 mcg/kg I did not affect ventilation significantly. After III pretreatment, I significantly increased heart rate.

At least 4 doses of quinine followed by a single dose of mefloquine or by a single dose of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine are 2 highly effective regimens for chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria. Mefloquine alone is valuable in ambulant patients. Chloroquine-sensitive falciparum malaria can be treated with a course of chloroquine. Vivax and all other types of malaria should be treated with sequential chloroquine and primaquine. Quinine, by IV infusion, is the most effective drug for severe falciparum malaria. The optimum IV dose varies between 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg administered over 4 hr. IV or oral quinine should be administered about every 12 hr and the total daily dose of quinine should rarely exceed 20 mg/kg. IV fluid input should be controlled in falciparum malaria to prevent pulmonary edema. Established renal failure is best treated by dialysis. The value of adrenocortical steroids for falciparum coma has not been established. Fresh blood transfusion may be helpful in small doses for severe anemia and to replace clotting factors. Anticoagulants, such as heparin, should not be used in falciparum malaria.

An increase in albumin is detectable by cellulose acetate strip electrophoresis, acrylamide gel electrophoresis, and by extraction of albumin from plasma. Cellulose acetate strip electrophoresis reveals a decrease in the \a/\IF/2\BS/-globulin fraction, while acrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates that there are manifold changes. Extractable seromucoid concentration declined from 440 mg/100 ml to 150 mg/ml as the dose of I increased. A concentration decrease in plasma glucose was also observed. Part of the decrement in seromucoid at low drug levels may be related to lessened haptoglobin concentration. The trypsin inhibitory capacity of the plasma was significantly decreased in what appeared to be a dose-dependent fashion. The decrease in seromucoid is consistent with the reduction in bound fraction of ribosomal RNA. Another explanation would appear to be required to explain the rise in albumin.

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HB\IF/s\BS/Ag) determinations suggest a predominance of hepatitis B. This association was demonstrated by a chronologic relationship between measurable community drug use and the number of hepatitis admissions 3 to 6 months later and by a case-control study. Parenteral drug use and, to a lesser degree, cannabis smoking appeared to be factors in disease transmission. Sharing of illicit drugs with a hepatitis contact, whether parenterally or orally, was associated with increased risk of contracting the disease.

Covington N2 - Criteria to consider in the clinical use of plasma volume expanders in hypovolemic states are discussed. Points to be considered include: (1) the etiology of the wounds, (2) the time between injury and reaching a definitive care facility, (3) proportions of seriously injured to less seriously injured patients reaching the hospital, (4) the availability of whole blood or packed red cells, (5) factors determining the selection of specific plasma volume expanders, and (6) current scientific information and practice. Electrolyte solutions have not been demonstrated to be plasma volume expanders of choice and colloid should generally be considered to restore the osmotic balance. Dextran, plasma, plasma protein fraction, and human serum albumin are effective colloids, each with advantages and disadvantages to be considered in trauma management. Packed red blood cells or whole blood is always preferred when significant numbers of red blood cells have been lost.

Intravenous quinine was administered as the dihydrochloride salt. The standard dose in adults was 490 mg base in 500 ml normal saline infused over 4 hr. Oral quinine ws prescribed as tablets of quinine sulfate each containing 270 mg of base. The routine formulation was a sugar-coated tablet, but plain tablets were occasionally used, especially in small children. The standard dose in adults was 540 mg (2 tablets) every 8 hr. Each plain tablet of Fansidar contained 25 mg pyrimethamine and 500 mg sulfadoxine. The standard dose in adults was 3 tablets given with or 8 hr after the last dose of quinine.

Tousignaut N2 - Vitamin requirements for patients requiring total I.V. nutrition is thoroughly discussed. The recommendations generally for adequate oral alimentation are, based upon studies performed with healthy individuals and not necessarily for a patient who may be either chronically or acutely ill. Vitamins are intimately involved in the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein and fat and therefore have a definite role in a complete parenteral nutrition program. Because of the rapidity with which biochemical evidence of deficiency of many of the water soluble vitamins develops, these should be included from the initiation of any total parenteral nutrition program. The I.V. requirements of water soluble vitamins are greater than the oral requirements, because when given I.V., a larger portion of these vitamins is excreted by the kidneys. Graphs and tables illustrating vitamin excretion, treatment and effect are included.

The oral regimen consisted of concurrent administration of quinine 650 mg. 3 times daily for 10 days, pyrimethamine 25 mg. twice daily for 3 days and sulfisoxazole 500 mg. 4 times daily for 6 days. Patients on the I.V. regimen received the identical amounts of the latter 2 drugs but received 1,800 mg. quinine dihydrochloride in 1,500 ml. normal saline/day for 10 days. All patients also received dapsone 25 mg. for 28 days. Side effects included nausea with oral quinine and some lengthening of the P-R interval on electrocardiograms. Test results showed infused quinine to be more effective than oral in achieving a radical cure.

(tablets or suspension according to age) were to be given 3 times daily for 10 days; and a third group received the identical prescription as those in group 2 but, in addition, their parents received specific counseling outlining the necessity that the penicillin be taken for the full 10 days in order to best effect cure and prevent relapse. The study was concluded after 100 patients each were treated with one of the 3 treatment regimens. Patients with treatment failure as indicated by a positive throat culture on the ninth day of treatment and those with relapse or reinfection as indicated by positive culture at 3 or 6 weeks, or both, after treatment were all retreated with I.M. penicillin G benzathine. There were 14 treatment failures plus relapse in group one, 25 in group 2, and 10 in group 3. Compliance in taking penicillin was 58% in group 2 and 80% in group 3, a significant difference. It was concluded that oral therapy with adequate parental counseling is as efficacious as I.M. injection.

Study results indicate that soldiers in a field situation, subsisting almost entirely on a field ration diet, will receive between 0.5 and 0.6 mg. of fluoride per day. A civilian counterpart in an area where drinking water is fluoridated, receives more than 2mg. of fluoride per day. At best, only a small percentage of troops in the field receive as much as three-fourths of the fluoride received by their civilian counterpart, while most troops in the field receive less than one-half of that amount.

AB - A person × situation approach to the study of intergroup anxiety is offered in which anxiety in intergroup encounters is viewed as a transaction between the individual and the environment. A total of 2,551 undergraduates participated. An individual difference measure of intergroup anxiety toward African Americans was developed, and studies assessing the scale's reliability and validity are presented. The utility of a person × situation approach is shown in an experiment in which participants high or low in intergroup anxiety were told they would interact with either a European American or an African American. Participants high in intergroup anxiety who were supposed to interact with an African American evidenced the highest state anxiety, perceived the interaction as most difficult, and viewed their partners as most dissimilar from themselves.

Sleep quantity and quality, extent of protection provided by the mask during sleep, next day reaction time (RT), and mood were assessed. After several days of training, 9 male soldiers (aged 19–25 yrs) slept with and without the M40 mask on 4 occasions. Ss were able to tolerate the mask for most or all of the night. Sleep (assessed by wrist-worn activity monitors) was significantly disturbed. Minutes of waking significantly increased and number of awakenings increased. Ss reported that it took longer and was more difficult to fall asleep when wearing the mask. Errors on a choice RT task increased significantly. Ss reported greater fatigue and sleepiness the day after sleeping in the mask. Various undesirable daytime alternations in mood state were apparent as a consequence of mask wear the previous night.

TXA has been used around the world to safely control bleeding since the 1960s. A large randomized trial recently conducted in >20,000 trauma patients adds to the large body of data documenting the usefulness of TXA in promoting hemostasis. METHODS: : We reviewed the literature describing use of TXA in a variety of settings including trauma. RESULTS: : TXA has been safely used across a wide range of clinical settings to control hemorrhage. The results of a large, randomized, placebo-controlled trial support the use of TXA to treat bleeding trauma patients. CONCLUSIONS: : This inexpensive and safe drug should be incorporated into trauma clinical practice guidelines and treatment protocols. Further research on possible alternate mechanisms of action and dosing regimens for TXA should be undertaken. Concurrent to these endeavors, TXA should be adopted for use in bleeding trauma patients because it is the only drug with prospective clinical evidence to support this application.

Seventy-one male volunteers underwent skinfold measurements and underwater weighing and were photographed from the front, side, and rear. The skinfold measurements and underwater weighing were used to determine percent fat by accepted mathematical methods. Two experts then visually estimated the subjects' percent fat by comparing the photographs with five sets of reference photographs. The results suggest that some individuals can visually estimate percent fat about as accurately as it can be calculated from skinfold measurements.

Ten male subjects (five cyclists, five runners) randomly performed four cycling (CYC) and four running (RUN) trials at various workloads. Oxygen consumption (VO2) and minute ventilation (VE) were recorded each minute by a computer-based system. Blood lactic acid (HLA) was sampled from an antecubital vein at 3-min post exercise. No significant differences were found between cyclists and runners in VO2, VE, or HLA at any workload. The mean coefficients of total variation for VO2 were 4.42 per cent (CYC) and 3.80 per cent (RUN); mean CVt for HLA were 13.4 per cent (CYC) and 16.3 per cent (RUN). Significant day-to-day differences were found in VO2 of cyclists during CYC and RUN, VO2 of runners while CYC and RUN, and VE of cyclist during RUN.

AB - Autonomous agents in computer simulations do not have the usual mechanisms to acquire information as do their human counterparts. In many such simulations, it is not desirable that the agent have access to complete and correct information about its environment. We examine how imperfection in available information may be simulated in the case of autonomous agents. We determine probabilistically what the agent may detect, through hypothetical sensors, in a given situation. These detections are combined with the agent's knowledge base to infer observations and beliefs. Inherent in this task is a degree of uncertainty in choosing the most appropriate observation or belief. We describe and compare two approaches--a numerical approach and one based on defeasible logic--for simulating an appropriate belief in light of conflicting detection values at a given point in time. We discuss the application of this technique to autonomous forces in combat simulation systems.

AB - Examined the effects of human speech on a fine, continuous, and open motor skill. A tape of auditory human radio traffic was interjected into a tank gunnery simulator during each training session for 4 wks of training for 3 hrs a week. Ss were 56 armor crewman who completed 4 wks of interference (IF) training or 4 wks of standard training. Identification time, fire time, kill time, systems errors, and acquisition errors were measured by the Unit Conduct Of Fire Trainer (UCOFT). During the 1st 3 wks of training, the IF group committed 106% more systems errors and 75% more acquisition errors than the standard group. The IF training condition was associated with a significant improvement from pre- to posttest in over-all UCOFT scores; however, when examined on the posttest the standard training did not improve performance significantly over the same period.

Results indicate that 50 Ss relied on a memorized movement pattern, which is characteristic of the precognitive mode. Adaptations of this transfer methodology may be useful in testing other theories that postulate multiple schemata for the control of perceptual-motor behavior.

AB - Identified intended and unintended messages perceived by Ss in the target audience for 2 US Army television advertisements and determined whether unintended messages were perceived as positive, negative, or neutral. Differences in intended or unintended messages perceived by different demographic groups were also determined. Qualitative data were originally collected through focus groups sessions used to verify that the army's intended messages were perceived and to identify unintended messages. Quantitative data were collected from 396 Ss who viewed both commercial messages and completed a questionnaire that measured both intended and unintended messages produced by the ads. Education, race, age, and prior army experience influenced Ss' perceptions. Qualitative and quantitative data confirmed that both intended and unintended messages were being received by target Ss.

HEV has been considered a military health threat and has been reported in several military environments. This study determined HEV seroconversion (defined by a 4-fold increase in antibody titers) occurring in Thai soldiers deployed to the HEV-endemic areas of East Timor, Afghanistan, and Iraq, as part of the U. N. multinational forces. With an average deployment of 6.4 months, the annualized seroconversion rates after deployments to East Timor, Afghanistan, Burundi, and Iraq were 1.9%, 4.6%, 4.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

New techniques were used to demonstrate the detectable persistence of mustard metabolites in the patient's blood for at least 41 days after exposure, validating these techniques for the first time for a human mustard patient: they were also used for the first time with human mustard blister fluid. The techniques extend eightfold the period of time that mustard exposure can be definitively diagnosed, compared with previous techniques. Although this patient's lesions were never life-threatening, he required 2 weeks of intensive bum care. He has been left with ongoing posttraumatic stress disorder and has had an incomplete dermatological recovery. In a major terrorist attack involving many patients exposed to sulfur mustard, care resources would be depleted quickly.

One such control, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), has received renewed interest after decades of underutilization and neglect. With renewed interest, however, come renewed questions, especially regarding efficacy and safety. There is a long history of investigations concluding that, if used properly, UVGI can be safe and highly effective in disinfecting the air, thereby preventing transmission of a variety of airborne infections. Despite this long history, many infection control professionals are not familiar with the history of UVGI and how it has, and has not, been used safely and effectively. This article reviews that history of UVGI for air disinfection, starting with its biological basis, moving to its application in the real world, and ending with its current status.

The methods are applied to a targeted parametric investigation of the effects of stitch density on strength properties and potential benefits of through-thickness reinforcement, such as resistance to transverse shear and delamination, with some consequent loss of in-plane properties. Direct modeling of the exact microstructure from scanning electron microscope visualization provides a precise knowledge of the mechanics and the failure modes of the microstructure under various loading conditions. Modeling results are verified by comparison to experimental data. In-plane stiffness and strength are predicted with 90% or better accuracy. Transverse shear stiffness was less well predicted, but strength was still predicted within 86% accuracy.

It discusses data quality, utility, and lessons learned. Prospective data collected each shift include direct staff hours by levels (i.e., registered nurse, other licensed and unlicensed providers), staff categories (i.e., military, civilian, contract, and reservist), patient census, acuity, and admissions, discharges, and transfers. Retrospective adverse event data (falls, medication errors, and needle-stick injuries) were collected from existing records. Annual patient satisfaction, nurse work environment, and pressure ulcer and restraint prevalence surveys were conducted. The MilNOD contains shift level data from 56 units in 13 military hospitals and is used to target areas for managerial and clinical performance improvement. This methodology can be modified for use in other healthcare systems. As standard tools for evidence-based management, databases such as MilNOD allow nurse leaders to track the status of nursing and adverse events in their facilities.

JO - Biological Research for Nursing JF - Biological Research for Nursing Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 12 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 177 SN - 10998004 AB - Women in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines are serving in complex occupational specialties that sustain national policy and ensure combat effectiveness of our forces. Their roles have evolved from supportive roles during early conflicts to active roles in combat support and counterinsurgency operations today. Although women have received military health care over the past three decades, sex- and gender-specific care has been limited to reproductive needs and has rarely addressed military-specific health risks and outcomes. The complexity of military jobs and increased deployments to combat operations has led to increased occupational and health risks for women. As differences have been noted between men and women’s deployment-related health outcomes, it is incumbent on the Military Health Care System (MHS) to create an evidence base that addresses sex and gender differences in the health of its service members. A working group of military women’s health advanced practice nurses (APN) and research experts proposes to address this gap in knowledge and practices through sex- and gender-specific research. A sex-and gender-based research agenda for military women’s health will be a valuable instrument to those who are dedicated to the health of this population, including members of the Army, Navy, and Air Force military nursing community. Using the knowledge that the research agenda generates, military health care providers can develop clinical practice guidelines, influence policy, and participate in program development to improve the health of servicewomen. Shaping a sex- and gender-specific military women’s health research agenda will create the foundation for future evidence-based care.

The purpose of this report is to examine the effect of rhEPO on mortality and transfusion in burn patients. We conducted a review of burn patients (greater than 30% total body surface area, intensive care unit [ICU] days greater than 15) treated with 40,000u rhEPO over an 18-month period (January 2007 to July 2008). Matched historical controls were identified and a contemporaneous cohort of subjects not administered rhEPO was used for comparison (NrhEPO). Mortality, transfusions, ICU and hospital length of stay were assessed. A total of 105 patients were treated (25 rhEPO, 53 historical control group, 27 NrhEPO). Hospital transfusions (mean 13,704 ± mL vs 13,308 ± mL; P = 0.42) and mortality (29.6 vs 32.0%; P = 0.64) were similar. NrhEPO required more blood transfusions (13,308 ± mL vs 6,827 ± mL; P = 0.004). No difference in mortality for the rhEPO and NrhEPO (32.0 vs 22.2%; P = 0.43) was found. Thromboembolic complications were similar in all three groups. No effect was seen for rhEPO treatment on mortality or blood transfusion requirements in the severely burned.

Using maternal obesity status as an instrument, they found strong evidence that overweight females between the ages of 12 and 21 were more likely to initiate smoking. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we reexamine the relationship between body weight and smoking initiation. Our results are generally consistent with those of Cawley, Markowitz and Tauras.

JO - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism JF - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism Y1 - 2010/08// VL - 20 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 282 EP - 290 SN - 1526484X AB - This study examined alterations in skeletal-muscle growth and atrophy-related molecular events after a single bout of moderate-intensity endurance exercise. Muscle biopsies were obtained from 10 men (23 ± 1 yr, body mass 80 ± 2 kg, and VO2peak 45 ± 1 ml · kg-1 · min-1) immediately (0 hr) and 3 hr after a 60-min bout of cycle exercise (60% ± 5% VO2peak). Corresponding muscle biopsies were also obtained under resting conditions. The phosphorylation status of insulin/IGF-PI3K molecular-signaling proteins, ubiquitin-proteasome-related gene expression, FOXO transcription factors, and myogenic regulatory factors in muscle samples was analyzed using multiplex analysis, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A condition-time interaction was observed for Akt phosphorylation (p < .05) with multiplexing. Regardless of endurance exercise, Akt phosphorylation decreased and ERK phosphorylation increased at 3 hr compared with 0 hr (p < .05). Levels of p70S6K phosphorylation were 110% greater (p < .05) at 3 hr than at 0 hr using Western blots. MuRF mRNA expression postexercise increased; levels were 4.7- and 5.7-fold greater (p < .05) at 0 hr and 3 hr, respectively, than at rest with qRT-PCR. Atrogin mRNA expression was up-regulated 3.2-fold 3 hr postexercise compared with rest. These findings demonstrate modest changes in the molecular responses to moderate endurance exercise in the absence of nutrition. This study provides the groundwork for future investigations designed to optimize the metabolic conditions necessary to positively influence the cellular mechanisms specific to skeletal-muscle protein turnover during recovery from endurance exercise.

T1 - Effect modification of endocrine disruptors and testicular germ cell tumour risk by hormone-metabolizing genes. JO - International Journal of Andrology JF - International Journal of Andrology Y1 - 2010/08// VL - 33 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 588 EP - 596 SN - 01056263 AB - It has been hypothesized that the increased prevalence of testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) may be attributable to endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs); these may be modulated by hormone-metabolizing enzymes. Using data from 568 cases and 698 controls enrolled in the US Servicemen’s Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine Determinants Study, we examined associations between TGCT and POPs, including p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, chlordane-related compounds and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), modified by polymorphisms in five hormone-metabolizing genes ( CYP17A1, CYP1A1, HSD17B1, HSD17B4 and AR). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using logistic regression models that stratified associations of POP exposure and TGCT risk by genotype. Two polymorphisms in CYP1A1, rs1456432 and rs7495708, modified the association between trans-nonachlor and total chlordanes and TGCT risk. Among men with a minor allele for rs1456432, those with the highest quartiles had an increased risk of TGCT (OR = 1.90, 95% CI, 1.01–3.56) compared with those with the lowest; there was no increased risk among men with the homozygous major allele genotype ( p-interactions = 0.024). Similar results were seen for rs7495708. HSD17B4 rs384346 modified the associations between TGCT risk and PCB-118 and PCB-138 concentrations: the 45–55% reductions in TGCT risk for men with the highest quartiles compared with the lowest quartiles were only present in those who had a major homozygous allele genotype ( p-interactions < 0.04). Thus, there are suggestions that certain CYP1A1 and HSD17B4 polymorphisms may modify the associations between POPs and TGCT risk. With false discovery rate values >0.2, however, caution is advisable when interpreting the findings of this study.

JO - Nursing Research JF - Nursing Research Y1 - 2010/01/02/Jan/Feb2010 Supplement VL - 59 M3 - Article SP - S40 EP - S47 SN - 00296562 AB - Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the second most common hospital-acquired infection and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates for mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit. Routine nursing interventions have been shown to reduce VAP rates. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a unit-specific education intervention that emphasized hand hygiene, head-of-the-bed elevation, and oral care. The goals were to improve staff compliance with hand washing, head-of-the-bed elevation, and oral care; to decrease VAP rates, and to decrease number of ventilator days. Methods: Two-hour observations were conducted on a convenience sample of 100 ventilated patients not diagnosed with VAP and the clinical staff that interacted with them. Instrumentation included a compliance checklist, a demo- graphic patient survey, and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation/EIV® tool. Unit-specific educational interventions were designed and implemented on each participating unit. Results: The VAP and the ventilator day rates did not improve significantly. There were no significant changes in clinician adherence to hand hygiene, provision of oral care, or patient positioning. Discussion: Despite implementation of both structured and creative education, team-based approach, and frequent staff reminders, patient outcomes and staff compliance did not improve significantly. Unit-based education interventions may not be the best strategy to facilitate change. Organizations with frequent changes in personnel and leadership may not have the unit-level infrastructure necessary to attain and sustain change.

T1 - The effect of food consumption on lumefantrine bioavailability in African children receiving artemether–lumefantrine crushed or dispersible tablets (Coartem®) for acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. JO - Tropical Medicine & International Health JF - Tropical Medicine & International Health Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 15 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 434 EP - 441 SN - 13602276 AB - Objectives Artemether–lumefantrine (AL) is first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in many African countries. Concomitant food consumption may affect absorption of lumefantrine but data in the most important target population, i.e. children, are lacking. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of food intake on oral lumefantrine bioavailability in African children with malaria. Methods In a randomised, investigator-blinded, multicentre phase III efficacy trial, 899 infants and children with acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria received six doses of AL according to body weight over 3 days either as crushed tablets (Coartem®) or as dispersible tablets. Single blood samples were obtained for lumefantrine plasma concentration determination in a subset of 621 patients, and a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model was constructed. Results The mean observed lumefantrine plasma concentration for crushed tablet and dispersible tablet, respectively, was 100% and 55% higher with a concomitant meal at the time of dose intake than when taken alone. Similarly, consumption of milk (the most common meal) increased model-estimated lumefantrine bioavailability by 57% (90% CI: 29–96%) with crushed tablets and 65% (90% CI: 28–109%) with dispersible tablets compared to no food. The 28-day PCR-corrected cure rate (primary study endpoint) in the evaluable population was 582/587 [99.1% (95% CI: 98.0–99.7%)] and was not related to food intake. Conclusions AL was highly efficacious. Concomitant food intake increased lumefantrine absorption in children with malaria. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Objetivos: La artemeter+lumefantrina (AL) es la primera línea de tratamiento para malaria no complicada en muchos países africanos. La consumición concomitante de comida puede afectar la absorción de la lumefantrina pero los datos en la población diana más importante, es decir, en niños, no existe. Por lo tanto, hemos evaluado el efecto de la toma de comidas sobre la biodisponibilidad de lumefantrina oral en niños africanos con malaria. Métodos: En un ensayo aleatorizado, cegado para el investigador, multicéntrico de fase 3, 899 bebés y niños con malaria aguda no complicada por Plasmodium falciparum recibieron seis dosis de AL según su peso corporal durante 3 días, bien como comprimidos triturados (Coartem®) o como comprimidos dispersables. Se obtuvieron dosis individuales de sangre para determinar la concentración de lumefantrina en sangre en un subgrupo de 621 pacientes y se construyó un modelo farmacocinético de dos compartimientos. Resultados: La concentración media observada de lumefantrina en sangre para los comprimidos triturados y los dispersables fué, respectivamente, de un 100% y un 55% más alto con una comida concomitante en el momento de tomar la dosis, que cuando se tomaba sola. De forma similar, la consumición de leche (la comida más común) aumentó la biodisponibilidad de lumefantrina según la estimación del modelo en un 57% (90% IC: 29% a 96%) con comprimidos triturados y del 65% (90% IC: 28% a 109%) con comprimidos dispersables comparado con el no haber tomado alimento alguno. La tasa de curación a día 28 corregida por PCR (resultado primario del estudio) en la población evaluada era 582/587 (99.1% (95% IC: 98.0-99.7%)) y no estaba relacionada con la toma de alimentos. Conclusiones: AL era altamente eficaz. La toma concomitante de comida aumentó la absorción de lumefantrina en niños con malaria.

La consommation concomitante d’aliments peu affecter l’absorption de la luméfantrine, mais des données sur la population cible la plus importante i.e. les enfants, font défaut. Par conséquent, nous avons évalué l’effet de la prise alimentaire sur la biodisponibilité orale de la luméfantrine chez des enfants africains atteints de malaria. Méthodes: Dans une étude d’efficacité randomisée, aveugle pour l’investigateur, multicentrique de phase III, 899 nourrissons et enfants atteints de malaria aigüe à Plasmodium falciparum non compliquée ont reçu six doses d’AL en fonction du poids du corps pendant 3 jours, soit en comprimés écrasés (Coartem®) ou sous forme de comprimés dispersibles. Des échantillons uniques de sang ont été prélevés pour la détermination de la concentration plasmatique de luméfantrine dans un sous-ensemble de 621 patients et un modèle pharmacocinétique bi compartimental a été construit. Résultats: Les concentrations plasmatiques moyennes de luméfantrine observées pour les comprimés écrasés et les comprimés dispersibles étaient de 100% et 55% respectivement plus élevée avec un repas concomitant au moment de la prise de la dose que lorsqu’ils étaient pris seuls. De même, la consommation de lait (le repas le plus commun) augmentait la biodisponibilité luméfantrine estimée par le model de 57% (IC90%: 29-96) avec les comprimés écrasés et 65% (IC90%: 28-109) avec les comprimés dispersibles, comparativement à l’absence de nourriture. Le taux de guérison au jour 28 corrigé par la PCR (critère d’évaluation primaire de l’étude) dans la population évaluable était de 582/587 (99,1% (IC95%: 98.0-99.7%)) et n’était pas liéà la prise alimentaire. Conclusions: AL était très efficace. La prise concomitante d’aliments augmente l’absorption de la luméfantrine chez les enfants atteints de malaria.

This experiment offers an approach that is seldom used for monitoring the rate of a reaction. The solvolytic decomposition of benzenediazonium ion generates nitrogen gas, which creates bubbles in the reaction solution that alter the solution path length when using a spectral technique. Attempting to continuously free the solution of the bubbles as they form is a difficult task, particularly for undergraduate students. The use of a pH electrode to monitor the reaction offers a distinct advantage because bubbles do not interfere significantly with the signal from a pH electrode. This experiment is unique in that the solution pH, rather than a spectral signal, is used to track the extent of decomposition. This experiment allows students to gain experience in taking precise pH measurements, to use nonlinear analysis techniques for analyzing kinetic data, and to use the Arrhenius equation for determining the activation energy.

The words or V were presented for 50 msec. A series of 4 "Xs" in red, blue, green, or yellow colors were then presented for naming after 0, 25, 50, or 100 msec. Color naming was delayed when the color patch was preceded by a color name in black ink. This delay was highly reliable, but only about half that obtained with individual stimulus versions of the Stroop Color-Word Test where the word and color are integrally combined. Interference was not affected by variation in interstimulus intervals. It is suggested that this paradigm may be used to explore naming interference with visual dimensions that cannot be combined with words and, by manipulation of the interval between word and color, to study the duration of neural activity associated with word.

Chi-square analysis for the 668 respondents show that there were no significant differences for any of the items between Ss who signed and Ss who did not sign their questionnaires. It is concluded that the responses, despite variation in item sensitivity, were not influenced by signing or not signing questionniare.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 171 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 830 EP - 832 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Recent outbreaks of mysterious skin lesions on multiple personnel at several military facilities were initially blamed on spiders. Requests were made for pest inspection and control to remedy the situation. Greater scrutiny of the situation led to a hypothesis that instead of spiders, an infectious outbreak of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) should be investigated as the etiology. Subsequent culturing of the lesions on personnel at one facility confirmed this bacterial etiology. Barracks, as well as other close quarter military living conditions, are ripe environments for the establishment, persistence, and spread of CA-MRSA. Military medical personnel should consider CA-MRSA as a more likely etiologic agent than spider bites for cutaneous eruptions in which there are multiple lesions on one person or multiple patients with similar lesions.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 140 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 119 EP - 124 SN - 00223166 AB - The tantalizing potential of nanotechnology is to fabricate and combine nanoscale approaches and building blocks to make useful tools and, ultimately, interventions for medical science, including nutritional science, at the scale of ∼1-100 nm. In the past few years, tools and techniques that facilitate studies and interventions in the nanoscale range have become widely available and have drawn widespread attention. Recently, investigators in the food and nutrition sciences have been applying the tools of nanotechnology in their research. The Experimental Biology 2009 symposium entitled "Nanotechnology Research: Applications in Nutritional Sciences" was organized to highlight emerging applications of nanotechnology to the food and nutrition sciences, as well as to suggest ways for further integration of these emerging technologies into nutrition research. Speakers focused on topics that included the problems and possibilities of introducing nanoparticles in clinical or nutrition settings, nanotechnology applications for increasing bioavailability of bioactive food components in new food products, nanotechnology opportunities in food science, as well as emerging safety and regulatory issues in this area, and the basic research applications such as the use of quantum dots to visualize cellular processes and protein-protein interactions. The session highlighted several emerging areas of potential utility in nutrition research. Nutrition scientists are encouraged to leverage ongoing efforts in nanomedicine through collaborations. These efforts could facilitate exploration of previously inaccessible cellular compartments and intracellular pathways and thus uncover strategies for new prevention and therapeutic modalities [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Nutrition is the property of American Society for Nutrition and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Mechanisms for seizure production, seen in past animal studies, have not been described. Increased calcium levels contribute to excitotoxicity, so in this study neuroblastoma cells are loaded with calcium-indicating dye before application of 1.5 mM to 7.5 mM RDX, with fluorescence recorded for 30 cycles of 11 seconds each. The lowest concentration of RDX increases calcium fluorescence significantly above baseline for cycles 2 to 8; millimolar concentrations increase calcium fluorescence significantly above baseline for cycles 2 to 30. Increases in calcium, like those of 200 nM carbachol, are prevented with 10 mM of calcium chelator ethylene glycol-bis(b-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N tetra-acetic acid (EGTA, tetrasodium salt). Calcium channel blocker verapamil (20 mM), Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (5 mM), and general membrane stabilizer lidocaine (10 mM) partially attenuate carbachol- and RDX-induced increases in calcium, suggesting that RDX transiently increases intracellular calcium by multiple mechanisms.

Animal data have shown that hemostatic bandages reduce hemorrhage and improve survival. This article reports recent clinical observations regarding the efficacy and evolution of use of two new hemostatic bandages employed in the global war on terrorism. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort review of soldiers treated with either the QuikClot or HemCon hemostatic bandages between April and October 2006. Hemostatic dressings were placed on wounds either in the field or at the combat support hospital (CSH). RESULTS: During the 6-month study period, 1691 trauma patients were admitted to the CSH. Fifty uses of hemostatic dressings in 44 patients (2.6% of admissions) were identified. Forty patients were treated with HemCon dressings, three patients with QuikClot, and one with both QuikClot and HemCon. Eighteen percent of the dressings were used in the field, predominantly on extremity wounds (7/8). In contrast, most dressings used in the CSH were for truncal wounds (26/36 patients). Hemostatic dressings were applied to extremity wounds in prehospital and hospital settings, either alone or in conjunction with tourniquets. In surviving patients (95%), the treating surgeon determined that the hemorrhage was either stopped or greatly decreased by use of hemostatic dressings. Two of the four patients treated with QuikClot had burns from exothermic reactions, while no adverse reactions were noted with HemCon. CONCLUSIONS: Hemostatic agents stop or decrease bleeding. Whereas HemCon appears to be safe, QuikClot may produce superficial burns. These new hemostatic agents have a place in the surgical armamentarium to assist in controlling internal hemorrhage from truncal and pelvic hemorrhage, especially during damage-control surgery.

STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed a literature review and queried the National Trauma Data Bank to more closely examine the incidence of a variety of thromboembolic complications following injury. RESULTS: Thromboembolic events are rare, but occur at a greater rate in more severely injured patients. It is unclear, however, whether the incidence of thromboembolic complications in trauma patients is on the rise overall. Differences in study populations, particularly injury severity scores, as well as different methods of screening, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment have led to extreme differences in reported rates. CONCLUSION: While recent research has added to the body of knowledge, continued efforts focusing on risk stratification, diagnosis, screening, prophylaxis, and treatment are necessary to rationally understand the spectrum of thrombotic complications.

UVGI lamps require that radiometric measurements be performed to ensure their safe and effective use. This study evaluates 10 detectors that measure the ultraviolet radiation hazard of low-pressure mercury UVGI lamps, including a polychromator spectroradiometer, narrowband detectors designed to measure the ultraviolet radiation in a short range of wavelengths, and broadband detectors with a varying spectral response designed to follow the UV hazard action spectrum. The angular responses, spectral responses, and linearity of the detectors were measured and compared. The agreement between the measured angular responses and the ideal cosine responses varied widely among the detectors, and in general, the detectors with diffusing optics agreed significantly better with the ideal cosine response. The spectral responses at 254 nm also varied widely among the detectors, and, in general, the narrowband detectors agreed more closely with the 254 nm irradiances measured under the same conditions by a double monochromator spectroradiometer. All detectors displayed good linearity. The angular and spectral response data were then used to develop correction factors for the effective irradiance measurements of two UVGI sources, each measured at 10, 20, and 30 cm. The measured effective irradiances were compared with those measured by a double monochromator spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere input optic. Prior to correction, the effective irradiances measured by the detectors varied widely, ranging from 0.29 to 2.7 times those measured by the spectroradiometer. The application of cosine and spectral response correction factors significantly improved the agreement for the effective irradiances measured by all of the detectors, typically to within 10-20%. Awareness of these detector characteristics can play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of health hazard measurements of UVGI lamps.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators and cartridges were challenged with inert solid and oil aerosols. A combination of monodisperse aerosol and size-specific aerosol measurement equipment allowed count-based penetration measurement of particles with nominal diameters ranging from 0.02 to 2.9 μm. Three constant flow conditions (85, 270, and 360 L/min) were selected to match the minute, inhalation mean, and inhalation peak flows of the four cyclic flow conditions (40, 85, 115, and 135 L/min) tested. As expected, penetration was found to increase under increased constant and cyclic flow conditions. The most penetrating particle size (MPPS) generally ranged from 0.05 to 0.2 μm for P100 filters and was approximately 0.05 μm for N95 filters. Although penetration increased at the high flow conditions, the MPPS was relatively unaffected by flow. Of the constant flows tested, the flows equivalent to cyclic inhalation mean and peak flows best approximated the penetration measurements of the corresponding cyclic flows.

Methods: Two randomized, repeated-measures experiments were performed. In one, 10 volunteers drank 3 carbohydrate-protein beverages (380 kcal, 76 g carbohydrate, 19 g protein, 2 g fat) in separate (>7 days) trials, each differing in protein type. All drinks consisted of cocoa (4 g) and nonfat dry milk (1 g) supplemented with casein (CAS), whey (WP), or a casein and whey blend (CAS-WP). Ten additional volunteers consumed the same drinks after 60 min of varying-intensity exercise (60% and 85% VO2peak). Blood glucose, insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide (GIP), and AAs were measured every 15-30 min for 4 hr after beverage consumption. Results: Branchedchain AA concentrations peaked at 30 min and did not differ between beverages at rest (0.69 ± 0.12 mmol/L) or postexercise (0.70 ± 0.07 mmol/L). There were no significant differences between beverages with respect to initial (time 0-60) or total area under the curve (time 0-240) for any outcome measures at rest or postexercise. Conclusion: High-carbohydrate beverages containing various proportions of milk proteins procured from a supplier to the commercial industry had no impact on AA concentration. Retrospective chemical analysis of commercial proteins showed that casein was partially hydrolyzed; therefore, consumers should carefully consider the manufacturer (to ensure that the product contains intact protein) or other factors (i.e., cost or taste) when procuring these beverages for their purported physiological effects.

AB - This symposium addresses the complications encountered by medical planners when confronted by the use or threat of the use of weapons of mass destruction. The types of chemical warfare agents (CWA), their principal target organs, and physiological effects are discussed. Reviewed here are the uses of CWA in 20th century warfare and terrorism, with emphasis on 5 cases: (1) use of sulfur mustard during World War I; (2) use by Italy against Ethiopia; (3) use in the Sino-Japanese War; (4) relatively well-studied use in the Iran-Iraq conflict; and (5) the use of sarin in the Tokyo subway terrorist incident. Symposium contributors reviewed the additional physiological and psychological consequences of their use and threat of use. Results from training and simulation are discussed. Conclusions are presented derived from the analysis of these historical situations.

Such dehydration can impair cognitive and physical performance. Some portion of exercise-induced dehydration may be offset by changing the perceptual biases of soldiers when filling and drinking from canteens. Using comparably sized water bottles, we investigated this perceptual bias with 50 Army and Marine ROTC students by showing that those given short, wide, clear water bottles poured and drank more water than those given taller bottles that held the same volume. Even although those given short, wide water bottles poured 38% more water, they did not perceive themselves as having poured or drunk more. The implications for decreasing dehydration in the field and in garrison are discussed.

The Department of Defense (DoD) offers a robust prescription benefit to 8.8 million beneficiaries. This benefit has evolved to meet changes in technology and patient requirements. The PharmacoEconomic Center (PEC) was established as the first pharmacy benefit manager entity in 1992, primarily in response to rapidly rising DoD pharmacy program expenditures. In its short history, the PEC has dramatically improved patient safety and decreased costs. To accelerate the efficiency and effectiveness the enterprise-wide pharmacy benefit manager has already achieved, DoD should increase the funding, staff, and authority of the PEC.

On a nearly daily basis, nurses are called upon to transport patients across the world in support of ongoing military actions such as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. These nurses are key members of their military medical transport teams. Although the United States Air Force shoulders the greatest burden of providing en-route care back to this country, the entire process is truly a joint operation throughout the military.

The objective of this project was to determine the average clinical treatment time needed to correct nondeployable dental conditions using actual treatment times noted in an electronic scheduler. Methods: The Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic forwarded their daily treatment logs to the Dental Command for each week from November 1, 2002 through February 13, 2003. Clinical treatment times and types of services provided for dental fitness category (DFC) 3 conditions were tracked with the Corporate Dental Application scheduler. Results: The project identified 398 DFC 3 soldiers who were scheduled to receive treatment at the Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic between November 1, 2002 and February 13, 2003. Twenty-three of those soldiers did not receive treatment; therefore, the total sample size was 375. On average, it required 2.2 hours of clinical dental treatment time to make a DFC 3 soldier dentally deployable. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that treating DFC 3 conditions is time-intensive but most DFC 3 soldiers can be treated in approximately 2 hours in an efficient and properly staffed dental clinic. Without proper preventive education and maintenance, these soldiers may develop additional oral disease and may require repeated episodes of increasingly intensive dental treatment.

He cites the software's lack of item to allow Army recruiters to assess suicide behavior. He notes the need for the software to include the assessment of four variants of suicide attempts, namely, actual suicide attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt and ambiguous attempt. He also suggests greater specificity when assessing a given mental disorder. KW - COMPUTER software KW - SUICIDE KW - SUICIDAL behavior KW - MENTAL illness KW - UNITED States.

Issue Publication Date: Jul, 1995. AB - Reviews the book, Moving mountains: Lessons in leadership and logistics from the Gulf War by William G. Pagonis (1992). The author describes several very effective personal techniques such as what he calls the 'personal touch' and ways to 'leverage' yourself by appointing a team of 'Ghostbusters' to serve as his stand-ins to make necessary decisions. These ideas deserve reflection and study: their earthy, action-oriented approach focus on making results happen in extraordinary ways. In summary, the book is a classic in the field of leadership and management. Chapters 7 and 8 are definitely worth their weight in gold. Place this book at the top of any serious professional development reading list.

JO - Journal of Nursing Scholarship JF - Journal of Nursing Scholarship Y1 - 2008///2008 3rd Quarter VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 268 EP - 274 SN - 15276546 AB - Purpose: To describe Soldiers' (e.g., U.S. Army personnel) perspectives of the effect of musculoskeletal injuries. Design: Data were collected in the summer of 2003 using a prospective survey design. The survey was mailed to active duty Soldiers on modified work plans because of musculoskeletal injuries. These Soldiers were assigned to one Army installation in the US. Methods: Responses to the survey questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The numerous handwritten comments were evaluated qualitatively. Findings: Injuries most often involved the back and knees (18% each). At least 47% of the injuries were work related. Injuries interfered with Soldiers' abilities to perform military tasks such as road marching (80%) and organized physical training (69%). Although many respondents indicated they were not experiencing pain, at least some Soldiers reported mild pain for each of 19 anatomic locations. Severe pain was reported most often for the lower back (21%). In their written comments, Soldiers expressed a sense of frustration with their injuries, the healthcare system and providers, and their unit leaders. Conclusions: Healthcare personnel are challenged to better manage Soldiers with musculoskeletal injuries and expedite their return to full duty. Unit leaders are challenged to create work environments that focus on injury prevention and allow injured Soldiers time to heal. Clinical Relevance: The Soldiers in this study were often engaged in physically challenging work or sports activities when injured. Because people outside the Army engage in similar activities (e.g., construction workers, endurance athletes), the findings from this study might be applicable to nonmilitary communities. Additionally, with the number of Reserve and National Guard Soldiers currently on active duty, civilian nurses might be caring for Soldiers with musculoskeletal injuries.

To further understand its ability to potentially increase the bioavailabililty of soil contaminants, artificial sweat was applied to excised pig skin prior to dosing with munition-contaminated soils. Skin was mounted in chambers to allow simultaneous measurement of evaporation and penetration and to control air flow, which changed the dwell time of skin surface water within a l-h period post application of test materials. Additional variables included type of compound, aging of spiked soil samples, and carbon content of soil...

JO - Molecular Ecology JF - Molecular Ecology Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 17 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2122 EP - 2133 SN - 09621083 AB - Landscape genetic approaches offer the promise of increasing our understanding of the influence of habitat features on genetic structure. We assessed the genetic diversity of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler ( Dendroica chrysoparia) across their breeding range in central Texas and evaluated the role of habitat loss and fragmentation in shaping the population structure of the species. We determined genotypes across nine microsatellite loci of 109 individuals from seven sites representing the major breeding concentrations of the species. No evidence of a recent population bottleneck was found. Differences in allele frequencies were highly significant among sites. The sampled sites do not appear to represent isolated lineages requiring protection as separate management units, although the amount of current gene flow is insufficient to prevent genetic differentiation. Measures of genetic differentiation were negatively associated with habitat connectivity and the percentage of forest cover between sites, and positively associated with geographic distance and the percentage of agricultural land between sites. The northernmost site was the most genetically differentiated and was isolated from other sites by agricultural lands. Fragmentation of breeding habitat may represent barriers to dispersal of birds which would pose no barrier to movement during other activities such as migration.

Respirator experiments were performed according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (NFICO2), standard European (ENFICO2), and a modified method of the European test (BFICO2) using full-facepiece air-purifying respirators and one air-purifying escape respirator. Bland-Altman statistics for determination of limits of agreement were applied to assess agreement among the various test methods. A considerable lack of agreement was found between NFICO2 and ENFICO2 methods and between BFICO2 and NFICO2 methods for average FICO2. The modified EN136 method produced FICO2 averages about 0.13% to 0.23% above unmodified EN136 values, but the agreement between methods was generally acceptable. These results demonstrate that NIOSH and European unmanned test methods for determining respirator average FICO2 concentrations produce different results for like respirators. However, the findings suggest that the ENFICO2 and BFICO2 unmanned methods could be used interchangeably for quantifying respirator FICO2 concentrations.

Methods To study the relationship of POP exposure to TGCT risk, prediagnostic serum samples from 754 case subjects and 928 control subjects enrolled in the Servicemen's Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine Determinants Study were analyzed for cis-nonachlor, trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane, total chlordanes, β-hexachlorocyclohexane, mirex, p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p′-DDE), and p,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of TGCT overall and for the histological subgroups, seminoma and nonseminoma, were estimated using multivariable logistic regression. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results TGCT risk was statistically significantly associated with higher plasma levels of p,p′-DDE (for highest quartile [Q4] vs lowest quartile [Q1], OR = 1.71, 95% Cl = 1.23 to 2.38, Ptrend = .0002) and of two chlordane components, cis-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.56, 95% Cl = 1.11 to 2.18, Ptrend = .009) and trans-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.46, 95% Cl = 1.07 to 2.00, Ptrend = .026). Seminoma risk was statistically significantly associated with p,p′-DDE (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.91, 95% Cl = 1.22 to 2.99, Ptrend = .0008), cis-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.93, 95% Cl = 1.27 to 2.93, Ptrend = .0045), trans-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.72, 95% Cl = 1.11 to 2.67, Ptrend = .033), and a chlordane metabolite, oxychlordane (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.64, 95% Cl = 1.04 to 2.60, Ptrend = .048), whereas nonseminoma risk showed a statistically significant association with p,p′-DDE only (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.63, 95% Cl = 1.10 to 2.42, Ptrend = .0044). Conclusions Increased exposure to p,p′-DDE may be associated with the risk of both seminomatous and nonseminomatous TGCTs, whereas exposure to chlordane compounds and metabolites may be associated with the risk of seminoma. Because evidence suggests that TGCT is initiated in very early life, it is possible that exposure to these persistent organic pesticides during fetal life or via breast feeding may increase the risk of TGCT in young men.

Nine male track-and-field athletes (21.1 ± 1.4 yr, 177.2 ± 5.5 cm, 80.9 ± 9.7 kg, 8.7% ± 3.8% fat) and 10 male ice hockey athletes (21.0 ± 2.2 yr, 174.3 ± 6.2 cm, 79.6 ± 11.1 kg, 13.9% ± 3.73% fat) participated in 2 different ARE protocols. Both experiments employed a counterbalanced double-blind research design, wherein participants consumed either a CHO (1 g/kg body weight) or placebo beverage before, during, and after a weight-lifting session. Serum cortisol decreased (p < .05) at 90 min into recovery compared with immediately postexercise. Plasma lactate, total leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte concentrations increased (p < .05) from baseline to immediately postexercise. Lymphocytes decreased significantly (p < .05) from baseline to 90 min postexercise. Lymphocytes were lower (p < .05) for the CHO condition than for placebo. The findings of this study indicate the following: ARE appears to evoke changes in immune cells similar to those previously reported during endurance exercise, and CHO ingestion attenuates lymphocytosis after ARE.

JO - Molecular Microbiology JF - Molecular Microbiology Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 67 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 129 EP - 142 SN - 0950382X AB - The intestinal anaerobic symbiont, Bacteroides fragilis, is highly aerotolerant and resistant to H2O2. Analysis of the transcriptome showed that expression of 45% of the genome was significantly affected by oxidative stress. The gene expression patterns suggested that exposure to oxidative stress induced an acute response to rapidly minimize the immediate effects of reactive oxygen species, then upon extended exposure a broad metabolic response was induced. This metabolic response induced genes encoding enzymes that can supply reducing power for detoxification and restore energy-generating capacity. An integral aspect of the metabolic response was downregulation of genes related to translation and biosynthesis which correlated with decreased growth and entry into a stationary phase-like growth state. Examination of oxyR mutants showed that they were impaired for the acute response and they induced the expanded metabolic response with only minimal exposure to stress. The oxyR mutants were more sensitive to oxidants in vitro and in vivo they were attenuated in an intra-abdominal abscess infection model. Aerotolerance and resistance to oxidative stress are physiological adaptations of B. fragilis to its environment that enhance survival in extra-intestinal sites and promote opportunistic infections.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2007/07/15/ VL - 70 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 1191 EP - 1202 SN - 15287394 AB - The study reported herein examined the metabolism of 14C-labeled hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) resulting from a single oral gavage of 5 ml/kg to male and female Yucatan miniature pigs (43 mg/kg, 56 μCi/kg in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose in water). Blood, urine, and feces were collected at selected times of 1, 6, 12, and 24 h postdose. At 24 h postdose, liver samples were collected. Blood, plasma, liver, and excreta were analyzed for total RDX-derived radioactivity and metabolites were identified. Urine was the major route of elimination of 14C-RDX-derived radioactivity in both males and females. Relatively low levels of radioactivity were found in gastrointestinal contents and in feces, suggesting nearly complete absorption of 14C-RDX following an oral dose. Analysis of urine by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) identified quantifiable levels of two ring-cleavage metabolites, 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal and 4-nitro-2,4-diaza-butanamide, as well as parent RDX. The 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal, was seen in earlier studies of aerobic metabolism of RDX. The 4-nitro-2,4-diaza-butanamide, an amide, was not previously reported but was tentatively identified in this study. Analysis by a more sensitive method (LC/MS/MS) also showed trace amounts of the RDX metabolites 1-nitroso-3, 5-dinitro-1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane (MNX) (in both male and female urine) and 1-nitro-3, 5-dinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (DNX) (in male urine). Analysis of plasma by LC/MS/MS also revealed quantifiable levels of RDX and trace levels of MNX, DNX, and 1,3,5,-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (TNX). None of the liver extracts showed quantifiable levels of RDX or any identifiable metabolites. Most of the radioactivity was in the form of water-soluble high-molecular-weight compounds. RDX when given orally to pigs was rapidly metabolized by loss of two nitro groups followed by ring cleavage.

We explored the roles of nanotube length and structure, fiber density, and nanotube orientation in achieving optimum mechanical properties. We found that carbon nanotube fiber, spun directly and continuously from gas phase as an aeroget, combines high strength and high stiffness (axial elastic modulus), with an energy to breakage (toughness) considerably greater than that of any commercial high-strength fiber. Different levels of carbon nanotube orientation, fiber density, and mechanical properties can be achieved by drawing the aerogel at various winding rates. The mechanical data obtained demonstrate the considerable potential of carbon nanotube assemblies in the quest for maximal mechanical performance. The statistical aspects of the mechanical data reveal the deleterious effect of defects and indicate strategies for future work.

JO - Science JF - Science Y1 - 2007/03/23/ VL - 315 IS - 5819 M3 - Article SP - 1679 EP - 1684 SN - 00368075 AB - Hurricanes Katrina and Rita showed the vulnerability of coastal communities and how human activities that caused deterioration of the Mississippi Deltaic Plain (MDP) exacerbated this vulnerability. The MDP formed by dynamic interactions between river and coast at various temporal and spatial scales, and human activity has reduced these interactions at all scales. Restoration efforts aim to re-establish this dynamic interaction, with emphasis on reconnecting the river to the deltaic plain. Science must guide MDP restoration, which will provide insights into delta restoration elsewhere and generally into coasts facing climate change in times of resource scarcity.

Two immunogenicity trials in rhesus monkeys with a recombinant form of the protein, Pvs25H, were undertaken. Monkeys were vaccinated with Pvs25H adsorbed to Alhydrogel or emulsified in Montanide ISA 720 at 0, 4 and 27 weeks (study 1) or in Montanide ISA 720 at 0 and 18 weeks (study 2) with 1·5 or 15 µg Pvs25H in 0·1 or 0·5 mL of emulsion (four combinations). Immunogenicity was assessed by ELISA and by membrane-feeding experiments using P. vivax- infected blood from human volunteers (studies 1 and 2) or from chimpanzees (study 1). Both vaccine trials generated antibodies that blocked transmission of P. vivax to mosquitoes. Antibody titres and transmission blocking were higher with Montanide ISA 720 than with Alhydrogel in the first trial and with the 15 µg Pvs25H/0·5 mL ISA 720 combination in the second trial.

A portable hydraulic press and fixture was designed to apply compressive preloads during ballistic penetration. A civilian version of the US Army's M4 carbine was used for the ballistic tests where penetration velocities were well above the ballistic limit for 5.56mm projectiles. Compression-only data were initially obtained to characterize the various modes of damage. Samples without simultaneous compressive preload were subjected to ballistic penetration alone and then compressively loaded to failure. Finally, samples that had previously undergone ballistic testing at varying levels of compressive preloads were loaded in compression to determine the residual compressive failure strength. For simultaneous loading, samples were subjected to a specified compressive preload while a projectile was fired through the center of the sample. This study finds that the effect of simultaneous preload and ballistic penetration results in a greater extent of damage propagation than for ballistic penetration alone, increasing the possibility of initiating buckling failure of the loaded plate. The equivalent ballistic limit velocity for a given laminate and thickness is also likely to be reduced with increasing preload in composite laminates.

Here we synthesize field data from arctic Alaska, showing that terrestrial changes in summer albedo contribute substantially to recent high-latitude warming trends. Pronounced terrestrial summer warming in arctic Alaska correlates with a lengthening of the snow-free season that has increased atmospheric heating locally by about 3 watts per square meter per decade (similar in magnitude to the regional heating expected over multiple decades from a doubling of atmospheric CO[sub 2]). The continuation of current trends in shrub and tree expansion could further amplify this atmospheric heating by two to seven times.

This study investigated breath by breath inspiratory peak flow rate, minute ventilation, and instantaneous flow rates of eight young, healthy volunteers walking on a treadmill at 80-85% of maximal aerobic capacity until exhaustion while wearing an air-purifying respirator with one of eight combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. An analysis of variance was performed to identify differences among the eight conditions. Scheffe's post hoc analysis indicated which means differed. The group of conditions with the highest average value for each parameter was identified and considered to represent a worst-case scenario. Data was reported for these conditions. A Gaussian distribution was fit to the data and the 99.9% probability levels determined. The 99.9% probability level for the peak and instantaneous flow rates were 374 L/min and 336 L/min, respectively. The minute ventilation distribution was not Gaussian. Less than 1% of the recorded minute ventilations exceeded 135 L/min. Instantaneous flow rates exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's respirator test standards of 64, 85, and 100 L/min constant flow 91%, 87%, and 82% of the time, respectively. The recorded minute ventilations exceeded the 40 L/min minute ventilation test standard (for tests with a sinusoidal flow pattern) 100% of the time. This study showed that young, healthy respirator wearers generated peak flow rates, minute ventilations, and instantaneous flow rates that consistently exceeded current test standards. Their flow rates should be higher than those of a respirator wearer performing occupational work and could be considered upper limits. Testing respirators and respirator cartridges using a sinusoidal breathing pattern with a minute ventilation of 135 L/min (peak flow rate approximately 424 L/min) would encompass 99% of the recorded minute ventilations and 99.9% of the predicted peak and instantaneous flow rates from this study and would more accurately reflect human respiration during strenuous exercise.

However, it is less clear as to how various combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance affect user performance. The present study investigated the performance of 11 individuals during constant load, demanding work to exhaustion while wearing respirators with eight different combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. Exercise performance time, performance rating, minute volume, and peak inspiratory and expiratory airflow were recorded at the end of each test trial, and independent correlations with inhalation resistance and exhalation resistance were assessed. The combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances were quantified as the total external work of breathing (WOBtot) and correlations between the test variables and WOBtot were also examined. Significantly linear decreases in performance were found with increased inhalation resistances independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001) and with increased WOBtot (R2 =0.92; p<0.001). Performance also decreased with increased exhalation resistance but no significant relationships were found. Minute volume decreased linearly with increased inhalation resistance independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001), but the linear decrease observed between minute volume and WOBtot was weak (R2 =0.36; p<0.05). These findings suggest that WOBtot serves as a reliable estimate of the combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances on user performance during hard work, but that inhalation resistance alone serves as a better predictor of ventilation during respirator wear.

The association of psychological eating behavior constructs with overweight and obesity during early adult life and middle age has been documented in several studies. However, the association of eating behavior with unexplained weight change in old age is relatively unexplored. Methods. Body weight, eating behavior (dietary restraint, distribution, and hunger as assessed by the Eating Inventory), reported dietary intake, and physical activity level were assessed at baseline in 36 nonobese postmenopausal women aged 61.3 ± 3.1 years (mean ± standard deviation). Measurements were repeated 4.4 ± 0.9 years later, and changes in body weight were examined in relation to baseline and follow-up eating behavior scores, reported dietary intake, and physical activity level. Results. Participants had no major changes in health or lifestyle characteristics over the study interval. Weight change ranged from 7.5 to +5.8 kg (mean +0.3 ± 3.5 kg), and there were no significant changes in reported dietary, intake. Mean hunger score (calculated as the mean of baseline and follow-up hunger score) predicted weight change per year over the study period (bivariate r = 0.386, p = .020) even in statistical models adjusted for mean dietary intake variables (partial r = 0.658, p = .003). Restraint, disinhibition, and physical activity level did not predict weight change. Conclusions. Reported hunger assessed by the Eating Inventory was associated with unintentional weight change in healthy postmenopausal women. The Eating Inventory questionnaire may provide a clinically useful tool for identifying older individuals at risk of undesirable weight change, and particularly unintentional weight loss, a factor strongly associated with increased morbidity and premature death in this population.

Despite industry laboratories classifying trenbolone as nonteratogenic, data showed that embryonic exposure to this androgenic chemical altered development of the immune system in Japanese quail. Trenbolone is lipophilic, persistent, and released into the environment in manure used as soil fertilizer. This is the first study to date to assess this chemical's immunotoxic effects in an avian species. A one-time injection of trenbolone into yolks was administered to mimic maternal deposition, and subsequent effects on the development and function of the immune system were determined in chicks and adults. Development of the bursa of Fabricius, an organ responsible for development of the humoral arm of the immune system, was disrupted, as indicated by lower masse, and smaller and fewer follicles at day 1 of hatch. Morphological differences in the bursas persisted in adults, although no differences in either two measures of immune function were observed. Total numbers of circulating leukocytes were reduced and heterophil–lymphocyte ratios were elevated in chicks but not adults. This study shows that trenbolone acetate is teratogenic and immunotoxic in Japanese quail, and provides evidence that the quail immune system may be fairly resilient to embryonic endocrine-disrupting chemical-induced alterations following no further exposure posthatch.

It allows the user to reduce virtually any shape to its most basic "building blocks" or primitives. Included is a fully detailed materials data base of over 700 different materials. The program's user interface is the familiar pull-down menus with dialog and table areas. The program operates by the keyboard and does not use a mouse. Special entry keys allow the user to vary the type of units. MASS2 is very simple to learn and operate.

While Robo Systems Corp. hasn't totally remedied this problem with one product, the firm offers two PC packages that offer an answer: RoboCAD 4 Plus and RoboSOLID. RoboCAD 4 is an easy-to-use, window-driven 2-D CAD package. The complementary RoboSOLID is a 3-D solid modeling tool that can import a 2-D drawing from RoboCAD, transform it into 3-D, and perform solid shading operations. RoboSOLID features variable view angle, perspective viewing, wire frame modeling, hidden-line removal, and sections. The only drawback with the operation of RoboCAD is that you don't have the option of executing commands from the keyboard.

Patients were admitted daily to the intensive care unit for different kinds of trauma, such as gunshot wounds and shrapnel injuries. In this fast--paced, acute care environment, the staff never imagined they'd face problems not related to combat. But they learned quickly that diseases and conditions rarely seen in the U.S. are quite common elsewhere and quite common in a war fought on foreign soil. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disorder that affects more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. and approximately 2 percent to 3 percent of the world's population.

The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine published the prioritized list in November 2003. The work was performed as part of a multinational military effort supported by Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Previous chemical priority lists had been developed to support military as well as homeland defense research, development, and acquisition communities to determine enhanced detection and protection needs. However, there were questions as to the adequacy of the methodologies and focus of the previous efforts. This most recent effort is a more extensive evaluation of over 1700 industrial chemicals, with a modified methodology that includes not only the assessment of acute inhalation toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), but also chemicals/compounds that pose substantial physical risk (from fire/explosion) and those that may pose acute ingestion risks (such as in water supplies). The methodology was designed to rank such hazards from a strategic (global) military perspective, but it may be adapted to address more site/user specific needs. Users of this or any other chemical priority list are cautioned that the derivation of such lists is largely influenced by subjective decisions and significant variability in chemical-specific data availability and quality.

Objective To determine whether antibodies to EBV are elevated before the onset of MS. Design, Setting, and Participants Nested case-control study conducted among more than 3 million US military personnel with blood samples collected between 1988 and 2000 and stored in the Department of Defense Serum Repository. Cases were identified as individuals granted temporary or permanent disability because of MS. For each case (n = 83), 2 controls matched by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and dates of blood sample collection were selected. Serial samples collected before the onset of symptoms were available for 69 matched case-control sets. Main Outcome Measures Antibodies including IgA against EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA), and IgG against VCA, nuclear antigens (EBNA complex, EBNA-1, and EBNA-2), diffuse and restricted early antigens, and cytomegalovirus. Results The average time between blood collection and MS onset was 4 years (range, <1-11 years). The strongest predictors of MS were serum levels of IgG antibodies to EBNA complex or EBNA-1. Among individuals who developed MS, serum antibody titers to EBNA complex were similar to those of controls before the age of 20 years (geometric mean titers: cases = 245, controls = 265), but 2- to 3-fold higher at age 25 years and older (cases = 684, controls = 282; P<.001). The risk of MS increased with these antibody titers; the relative risk (RR) in persons with EBNA complex titers of at least 1280 compared with those with titers less than 80 was 9.4 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5-35.4; P for trend <.001). In longitudinal analyses, a 4-fold increase in anti-EBNA complex or anti–EBNA-1 titers during the follow-up was associated with a 3-fold increase in MS risk (EBNA complex: RR , 3.0; 95% CI, 1.3-6.5; EBNA-1: RR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.2-7.3). No association was found between cytomegalovirus antibodies and MS. Conclusion These results suggest an age-dependent relationship between EBV infection and development of MS.

Cut patterns in the metal mesh can redirect the magnetically induced electric currents generated thus changing the temperature distribution. In this work, the heat generation model for determining current and heat generation distribution for a given coil and mesh size, coded as a Mathematica function, was coupled with a simple genetic algorithm. The cost function to be minimized by the GA was the ratio of the maximum heat generation in the mesh to the minimum heat generation. Two studies were performed with the GA-based design optimization: the first with a six sided square mesh and the second using a ten sided square mesh. The best cut mesh designs obtained from the GA were compared with the globally optimal designs, where available, and with the baseline mesh. The GA could not reach the global optima due to the complex nature of the design search space. However, it was determined that the GA was able to reduce the variations in heat generation in the mesh for all cases and delivered significant improvements over the baseline case in reasonable computational time, evaluating less than 2% of the possible cut mesh patterns. Thus the genetic algorithm based design optimization was proven to be a computationally efficient tool in the generation of good cut mesh designs for the induction bonding process.

Despite the increasing role of women in the military, little is known regarding the association among military occupations, gender, and disability. The study presented here analyzed 41,750 disability cases to determine: (1) prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disability, (2) specific jobs associated with greater risk of musculoskeletal disability, and (3) association among gender, job-type, and disability. Results indicate: (1) back-related disorders represent the most prevalent sources of disability, (2) certain occupations were associated with higher disability risk, (3) women experienced higher overall, and musculoskeletal, disability risk, and (4) specific jobs were identified in which women experienced higher rates of musculoskeletal disability. These findings highlight the need to consider the interaction between workplace factors and gender on disability in the military work force.

First, a few commonly encountered undesirable effects of vibrations on structures are discussed. This is followed by an identification of research needs, and a discussion of typical research projects sponsored by the Structures and Dynamics Program of the United States Army Research Office towards meeting these needs. We include research projects in areas such as modeling of damping mechanisms, analysis and design of vibration absorbers, surface damping treatment of beams and similar other structures, and the use of magnetorheological and electrorheological fluids for vibration attenuation. Finally, we make recommendations for directions that are beneficial for future research in this area.

JO - Journal of Asthma JF - Journal of Asthma Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 41 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 33 SN - 02770903 AB - Airway expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-4 (MCP-4; CCL-13) is known to be increased in asthmatic airways where it is induced by proallergic cytokines, but the relationship of its systemic expression to asthma and naturally occurring exacerbations is unknown. We determined plasma levels of MCP-4 in 356 individuals with chronic-stable asthma and 240 normal subjects and compared plasma levels of MCP-4 in 30 patients who presented for emergent treatment of asthma with levels in 90 subjects with chronic-stable asthma matched for age, gender, and ethnicity. Median plasma MCP-4 levels were higher in patients with chronic-stable asthma than in normal subjects (399 vs. 307 pg/mL) (p<0.001). In our entire cohort (n=596), subjects with an MCP-4≥218 pg/mL were at increased risk of asthma (p<0.001 odds ratio, 3.26; 95% CI, 2.22--4.79). Logistic regression identified MCP-4 as an independent predictor of asthma diagnosis. The MCP-4 levels are higher in individuals with an acute asthma exacerbation than in subjects with chronic-stable asthma (513 vs. 355 pg/mL) (p=0.002). The MCP-4 is a systemically expressed biomarker that independently predicts susceptibility to asthma and is directly associated with exacerbations. Elevated MCP-4 levels identify a group of asthmatics with systemic evidence of allergic inflammation who may be at risk for exacerbations or may benefit from abrogation of MCP-4.

The purpose of this study was to compare simulated respirator fit factors (FFs) measured using vapor challenges to those measured using an aerosol challenge. A full-facepiece respirator was mounted on a headform inside a small enclosure and modified with controlled leaks (laser-drilled orifices) to produce FFs ranging from about 300 to 30,000. A breathing machine was used to simulate breathing conditions of 1.0 L tidal volume and 25 breaths/min. A monodisperse aerosol consisting of 0.72 µm polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) was used for the reference test aerosol, and FFs were measured using a laser aerosol spectrometer. An inert gas, sulfur hexafiuoride (SF6), and an organic vapor, isoamyl acetate (IAA), were used as the vapor challenges. The in-mask concentration of SF6 was measured using a gas chromatograph (GC). A GC was also used to quantify in-mask IAA concentration samples actively collected with sorbent tubes. FF measurements made with the PSL aerosol challenge were conducted in sequence with the SF6 and IAA challenges, without disturbing the mask, to yield matched data pairs for regression analysis. FFs measured using the PSL reference aerosol were found to correlate well with those measured with the SF6 (r2 = 0.99) and IAA (r2 = 0.98) vapor challenges. FFs measured using IAA tended to be higher at values below 10,000. The best agreement was observed with the inert gas, SF6. The results of this study suggest that submicron aerosols are suitable as quantitative fit test challenges for assessing the performance of respirators against inert vapors.

The tip of an endodontic file was positioned at the apical foramen of each canal in 117 extracted human teeth (213 canals) and in 56 teeth (92 canals) still within the alveolus of dried jaw specimens. Parallel radiographs were taken in a bucco-lingual plane of all teeth. The tip of the instrument appeared to be at the root surface (apical foramen) in 82 per cent of canals. There was no significant difference in results between the teeth radiographed in the alveolus of dried jaw specimens and extracted teeth when the radiographs were evaluated under a stereomicroscope.

JO - Breast Journal JF - Breast Journal Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 9 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 175 EP - 183 SN - 1075122X AB - This study reviewed mammographic screening related to breast carcinoma diagnosis and treatment between 1987 and 1997 at Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, TX. Epidemiologic data from the Department of Defense Automated Central Tumor Registry were merged with data from patients’ medical records and responses of the patients or their families to a mailed survey. The cases of 907 women grouped by race—white, African American, and Hispanic—were analyzed. Breast carcinoma diagnosed by mammographic screening showed a reversed ratio of early to late stage of cancer occurring for all three groups. That ratio was 1.45 for African Americans, 2.67 for Hispanics, and 3.08 for whites. For those women diagnosed with screening mammography, no statistically significant difference in 5-year survival was found between the races: 86% for whites, 83% for Hispanics, and 80% for African Americans. Mammographic screening as a diagnostic tool appears to equalize survival among whites, Hispanics, and African Americans, in spite of differences in age, stage of diagnosis, and military rank used as a proxy for socioeconomic status. When not controlling for mammographic diagnosis, Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed significant differences in survival patterns between whites, Hispanics, and African Americans. Five-year survival rates were 71% for whites, 74% for Hispanics, and 53% for African Americans. Screening mammography reduced 5-year mortality by almost 59% in African Americans, 52% in whites, and 36% in Hispanics. Whites were diagnosed with breast carcinoma, on average, at 57 years of age—11 years later than African Americans (average age 46 years) and 7 years later than Hispanic women (average age 50 years). As a diagnostic tool, screening mammography was used to discover breast cancer in 36% of white women, 33% of Hispanics, and 22% of African Americans. Further research is recommended to examine the use of mammography among various racial/ethnic...

JO - Clinical & Experimental Immunology JF - Clinical & Experimental Immunology Y1 - 1990/10// VL - 82 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 95 EP - 99 SN - 00099104 AB - Macrophage activation during acute falciparum malaria in 71 Thai adults was invetgated by measuring urinary neopterin and serum interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Neopterin, a product of IFN-γ activated macrophages, was elevated in 94% of patients upon admission (day 0, prior to treatment) and in all at some lime during the period of study. Neopterin levels tended to rise further (days 1-5) before falling back towards the normal range as patients recovered following effective chemotherapy (days 6-8). IFN-γ was measured in 32 patients and found to be directly related to neopterin concentration. Both neopterin and IFN-γ values were highest in patients experiencing a first malaria infection. Among those with histories of prior malaria, neopterin and IFN-γ levels were inversely related to the number of previous infections. Morbidity, as assessed by degree and duration of lever, was directly related to neopterin concentration. This longitudinal study quantitatively describes the extent and duration of macrophage activation in falciparum malaria. The data also suggest that with repeated malaria infection and antigen exposure, there is a progressive decrease or possibly suppression of the T cell macrophage interaction mediated by IFN-γ.

AB - Four rats were trained in darkness on a free‐operant avoidance procedure in which shocks occurred randomly, but lever presses could reduce their frequency. Discrimination training followed, during which responses in light continued to reduce shock frequency, but responses in darkness had no effect. During each cycle, the light period was 4 min, while darkness lasted only until a 20‐sec interval had elapsed without a response. This no‐response requirement was increased to 40 sec for three animals and eventually to 60 sec for two of them. Discriminative control developed, despite a greater shock density in the dark, with response rate and number of responses per shock maintained or increasing during light and decreasing to very low values in darkness. Two animals were later exposed to a procedure in which shock density was unaffected by responding either in light or darkness. A 60‐sec no‐response requirement was continued in the dark. Discriminative control persisted through 42 sessions for one animal and required 45 sessions to approach extinction for the other animal. The role of the light as a potential conditioned reinforcer of other behavior in the dark was implicated in the development and persistence of discriminative control. These data support shock‐frequency reduction as reinforcement for avoidance behavior.

AB - The effects of intergroup evaluations on intragroup attraction were assessed in a situation involving two-person teams that were all of the same sex. Male (N = 123) and female (N = 118) group members separately reported their political views to another dyad and then received either unfavorable, favorable, or no feedback regarding their team as a whole on the basis of this information. The results indicated that females evidenced more anger in response to the out-group's unfavorable feedback than did males. These anger responses were related to attraction toward a teammate for males but not for females. Moreover, males evidenced less attraction toward an in-group member after receiving unfavorable rather than favorable intergroup evaluations, whereas females did not. On the other hand, only for females was attraction toward a teammate related to the perceived similarity of that individual within experimental conditions. Apparently, the greater cognitive orientation of females as compared to males toward another ingroup member resulted in their being less susceptable to the influence of situationally induced affect.

AB - There has been an increasing emphasis in psychology on the perception of control over one's environment and its effect on behavior and performance. In the present experiment, subjects were allowed to choose material they would like to learn if given the opportunity, or allowed to choose material for others to learn. Their learning of a non-chosen (forced) set of materials was then examined and compared with that of subjects given no opportunity to choose at all. It was found that the choice-for-self condition led to better performance than either the choice-for-other condition or the no-choice (forced) condition. However, when an additional group of subjects was given the opportunity to choose for others and their personal involvement was augmented by emphasizing their willingness to choose, their performance was enhanced relative to subjects offered no choice. The results were discussed in terms of motivational benefits stemming from perceived control.

AB - Studied the influence of effort (fixed ratio size) and duration of access to the drinking tube on 12 male guinea pigs' daily water intake and pattern of drinking. As fixed ratio size increased there was a reduction in the number of drinking bouts and in the daily intake. Ss adjusted to the decline in the number of drinking bouts by increasing the amount of water consumed per bout and compensated for the reduction in total intake by increasing the efficiency of utilization of water (Exp I). These nondeprived Ss were able to maintain control growth rates except during the most demanding schedules (Exp II). Findings are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that the motivation for appetetive behavior arises from constraints on free feeding and drinking.

AB - Used differential reinforcements to evaluate relative performance on color and form dimensions during acquisition of 2-cue problems by 6 learning-set-sophisticated male rhesus monkeys. Ss received 24 2-choice problems, each generated from 3 planometric stimuli: a reference stimulus, an alternate stimulus identical in color but differing in form, and one identical in form but differing in color. The reference stimulus appeared on every trial of a problem and was paired with one or the other alternate on a given trial. On half of the problems, the reference stimulus was positive and on the remainder was negative. Acquisition was nearly equivalent on both cue dimensions with positive reference stimuli, but only one dimension was learned with negative reference stimuli. Results are interpreted as unfavorable to attention theory.

AB - Found that the topical application of miracle fruit in 9 human Ss caused subsequently tasted hydrochloric and citric acids to taste less sour than normal and as if they had been sweetened. Gymnema sylvestre abolished this sweetness and returned the sourness of both acids to approximately their normal intensities although Gymnema sylvestre alone did not significantly affect the taste of the acids. This suggests that miracle fruit adds sweetness to acids without directly blocking sour receptor sites. When sugar was added to citric acid to make it about as sweet as it was after miracle fruit, then the sourness was suppressed in the mixture just as sourness was suppressed by miracle fruit. This suggests that the reduction in sourness after miracle fruit resulted from mixture suppression (i.e., the mutual suppression usually observed between different qualities in a mixture). When several acids were matched in sourness they did not become equally sweet after miracle fruit.

AB - Examined the relative usefulness of Expectancy Valence and Intrinsic Activity Value as predictors of motivation to perform specific job-related activities. 3 indices of motivation were introduced into regression equations as the dependent variables. They included desired effort and actual effort as perceived by 134 technical employees and performance as observed by 106 raters-superiors. Results show that Intrinsic Activity Value was a much more useful predictor across all 3 motivation indices. Moreover, there were progressively weaker relationships between the predictors and desired effort, actual effort, and performance in that order. A measure of rational-irrational predisposition moderated the relationship between Expectancy Valence and effort, while external job demands moderated the relationship between desired and actual effort. The number of complex relationships which must be considered in order to predict work motivation adequately is stressed together with the need to analyze specific work activities.

The effect of effort on meal frequency, meal size, and rate of eating was investigated in 2 experiments with 20 male albino short-haired guinea pigs when reinforcement consisted of an entire meal or a small portion of a meal. Frequency of feeding decreased and the duration and rate of eating increased when an entire meal was available. Frequency of meals was unaffected, and rate of leverpressing and duration of meals increased when reinforcement consisted of a single food pellet. Data suggest that (a) there is a common pattern of changes in feeding behavior across species with respect to these variables and (b) the value of these variables can be taken to describe the properties of different ecological niches.

Ss were 10 18-24 yr old US Army enlisted men. Power functions fit to the sourness of unmixed acids were either added directly to predict mixture sourness, or both acids in the mixture were first converted to equivalent levels of citric acid and then exponentiated according to the appropriate power function. Summation of sourness functions accounted best for mixtures of citric acid with gluconolactone. Summation of acid equivalents was better for mixtures with phytic acid. Both models predicted mixtures with succinic and hydrochloric acids equally well. Mixtures with hydrochloric acid were synergistic.

The groups were then compared in terms of recidivism rates. Although the proportion of nonrecidivists was slightly higher for the GED group than for the control group, the difference was not significant at the .05 level. Thus, the hypothesis was not supported.

AB - Treated 38 Ss with a diagnosis of chronic alcoholism with a combination of disulfiram (antabuse) and group therapy. Ss were US Army active duty servicemen, retired personnel, and dependents, ranging in age from 20-62 and in rank from private to colonel. During the study period of 10 mo, 15 Ss drank at least once while under treatment. The overall success rate, with success being defined as complete abstinence during treatment, was 61%. All abstinent Ss improved in social functioning. 891/2% of the Ss were abstinent with the exception of 1 or 2 limited drinking episodes. Side effects of disulfiram alone, or in combination with drugs other than alcohol, were minor in degree. With 1 exception, reactions to disulfiram plus alcohol were mild.

AB - The delay of color naming when the patches are incongruent color names was studied as a function of the duration of a pre-exposure of the word in black prior to coloration. Individual word and control stimuli were presented in a tachistoscope to 12 male young adults, and naming latencies were recorded with a voice key. Interference decreased to very low levels at 2 sec of pre-exposure, then increased to intermediate levels for longer pre-exposures. Facilitation of color naming by congruent color names generally paralleled interference effects. Sequences of stimuli in which the pre-exposure interval varied randomly from trial to trial showed longer color-naming times for short pre-exposures than did sequences where all stimuli in the sequence used the same pre-exposure. The utility of this and a related procedure for study of the central activity produced by viewing a written word is discussed.

AB - Conceptualizes intelligence as the leader's ability to integrate his experience and thus provide him with skills to deal effectively with the technical aspects of tasks and interpersonal relationships. In 4 studies, 55 sergeants in charge of field artillery sections, 55 navy petty officers, 58 unit commanders, and 52 sergeants in charge of army mess units completed the least preferred co-worker scale (LPC), a group atmosphere scale, a shortened version of the Henmon-Nelson Tests of Mental Ability, and ratings of situational favorableness on 3 dimensions (leader-member relations, task structure, and position power). Ratings of leader performance were completed by 2-3 superiors. Results indicate that the relationship between leader intelligence and performance depended on the leader's motivational style (LPC), his experience, and the leader-member relations.

AB - Consider experimental treatments with consequences so irreversible that baseline performance cannot be recovered. The conventional method of assessing the effects of such treatments by statistical means involves separate experimental and control groups. An alternative proposed here is to administer the experimental treatment to each subject, one subject at a time and in a random order; whenever any subject receives the experimental treatment, those subjects which have not yet received it receive a control treatment. This procedure permits results significant at the one‐tailed 0.05 level to be obtained with four subjects; if a two‐group procedure evaluated by means of the U test is used, a minimum of six subjects is needed for the same significance level. More generally, the procedure permits equal sensitivity to any experimental effect with over 30% fewer subjects than a two‐group procedure. Extensions of the basic method are made to a variety of levels of the experimental treatment and to treatments without irreversible effects, and limitations of the method are discussed.

After exposure to 1-4 impulses of 168-db peak sound pressure level and 60-msec A-wave duration, temporary threshold shift was monitored at 1.5, 6.0, and 14.5 kHz for 32 days and complete audiograms taken at 64 days postexposure. Shifts were similar to those found by other researchers in chinchillas, but were larger than those seen in monkeys and men. Cochlear hair cell losses for the 5 Ss exposed to 1-4 impulses were small and not significantly different from those of 5 others exposed to 10-40 impulses (but not tested behaviorally). Results parallel those of other reseachers in indicating that stimulation producing permanent threshold shifts of 10-20 db may not produce detectable anatomical injuries to the organ of Corti. Caution is urged in generalizing the results of impulse noise studies in chinchilla to human damage risk criteria.

Ss were 23 psychiatric patients (mean age = 40.4 yrs). The highest positive correlations were found between preceding evening and nocturnal activity and serum CPK activity, especially in acute schizophrenia, borderline states, and manic-depressive disease. While this finding may reflect the negative correlations between sleep time and serum CPK activity, it is also consistent with the hypothesis that postexercise CPK activity peaks occur approximately 8 hrs after exercise. Increases in serum CPK activity may also occur subsequent to disordered phasing of psychomotor activity peaks and corticosteroid levels affecting the membrane permeability in skeletal muscle.

AB - Tested 10 3-8 yr old rhesus monkeys, surgically deafened in the right ear, for pure tone sensitivity at 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, and 14 Hz using an avoidance conditioning technique. A descending method of limits was used to determine threshold. 9 Ss had normal audiograms, while 1 had a high frequency loss of unknown origin. All 10 Ss then were exposed to 2 impulses of 168 db peak sound pressure level and tested for temporary threshold shift (TTS). The 9 normal Ss were exposed to 12 min of recorded tank noise, a 2nd and 3rd '2-impulse' exposure, and a 10-impulse exposure. 2 Ss received a final 20-impulse exposure. For the tank noise, Ss showed a greater TTS than a group of new Ss exposed to the same noise. After tank noise, TTS recovered as a linear function of the logarithm of recovery time, but was much more variable after impulse noise recovery. The dynamics of the ears appeared to change during the course of repeated exposures. After the final impulse exposure, recovery of threshold was studied for 64 days. The median shift was greatest at 14 Hz at the end of 64 days. Correlations between the amount of permanent threshold shift at 64 days and the TTS after the 1st 2-impulse exposure were near zero.

Issue Publication Date: Mar, 1973. AB - 33 U.S. Army enlisted men underwent 3 or 4 trials of a rebreathing test for CO2 sensitivity. During each trial the increase in the S's ventilation was related to increase in alveolar CO2. Ss were also administered the MMPI. Elevations were noted on nearly all standard MMPI scales for low responders to CO2, with differences between high and low responders reaching statistical significance on several scales. Differences in personality traits between high and low responders to CO2 suggest that this test may be useful for psychosomatic investigations. The interpretation of CO2 sensitivity as an index of the excitatory level of the respiratory center in the medulla is discussed.

AB - Consistent with a conceptualization of field-dependence as a partially genetically based 'sensitivity' of the nervous system, it was hypothesized that field-independent Ss would perform better than field-dependent Ss on tests of color and weight discrimination. 56 soldiers were identified as extreme on both field dependence-independence and introversion-extraversion, based on scores on the Gottschaldt test (as used in the Objective-Analytic Anxiety Battery) and the Maudsley Personality Inventory, respectively. Ss performed color and weight discrimination tasks. The color discrimination results very strongly support the hypothesis. The weight data provide additional support, but weight discrimination appeared to interact with introversion-extraversion in addition to being related to field-dependence.

AB - Studied the regulation of food and water intake in 54 young and adult male albino guinea pigs by continuously monitoring ad lib feeding and drinking patterns. The response to levels of celluflour dilution that ranged from 20-75% was also examined. Meal size and the duration of the intermeal interval were not systematically related to the sizes of preceding meals or interval lengths. Variations in food intake were mediated almost entirely by changes in meal size. This parameter increased during growth, was elevated in the 1st meal following food deprivation, decreased when water was withheld, and increased when water was returned. Celluflour dilution led to a decrease in apparent caloric intake without a proportional decrease in body weight. Regulation of energy balance and meal-to-meal control of feeding in this monogastric, herbivorous rodent is discussed in relation to the guinea pig's digestive physiology and ecological niche.

AB - If it is assumed that spurious enhancement of receptive field excitations near the intersection of image lines on the retina contributes to the cortical determination of the geometry of 2-dimensional figures, an equation based on the least-squares fit of data points to a straight line can be obtained to represent the apparent line. Such a fit serves as an extreemum on the precision with which a data set can be represented by a straight line. The disparity between the apparent line and the actual line that occurs in the case of peripheral (and to a lesser degree in more central regions of the retina) vision is sufficient to produce the perceptual errors that occur in the Poggendorff, Hering, and Mueller-Lyer illusions. The magnitude of the Poggendorff illusion as a function of the line angle is derived and experimentally tested. C. Blakemore, R. H. Carpenter, and M. A. Georgeson's (see record [rid]1971-22431-001[/rid]) experimental data on angle perception are shown to fit this same function. The apparent curve is derived for the Hering illusion. The Mueller-Lyer illusion is found to be a variation of the Poggendorff illusion. Equations are further developed and used to derive R. H. Pollack's (see record [rid]1960-02495-001[/rid]) experimental results on figural aftereffects. Results involve only one experimentally determined coefficient that can be evaluated, within the limits of experimental error, in terms of physiological data. Use of these concepts provides a foundation for the abstract modeling of the initial phases of the CNS data reduction processes, including receptive field structure, that is consistent with the physiological limitations of the retina as a source of visual data.

AB - Studied the effects of presenting a vibratory-auditory extraneous stimulus during habituation of the head-shake response in 60 male Holtzman albino rats. In the within-trial condition the dishabituatory stimulus was presented during habituation trials, while in the between-trial condition it was presented during intertrial intervals. Results reveal that the extraneous stimulus produced 2-3 sec of increased responding, followed by a 15-20 sec period of response reduction. No evidence for retardation of across-trial habituation was found. The excitatory effect increased across trials and across sessions (i.e., habituation of dishabituation failed to occur). Results support the interpretation of dishabituation as a temporary, superimposed process of sensitization and suggest that dishabituatory phenomena may be more complex than generally thought.

AB - A pendulum swinging and co-planar with a pair of fixed squares to either side of a fixation point provides a combination of the Pulfrich and the venetian blind effect suitable for assessing stereopsis in central and peripheral vision. The venetian blind effect provides a highly sensitive test of central stereopsis, while the Pulfrich pendulum tests peripheral stereopsis. Use of a colored filter to induce the phenomena provides the ability to differentiate responses by eye. 5 categories of response to the pendulum have been identified and examples of responses from 3 Os are included as exceptions to these. Responses to the venetian blind effect may supplement or complement the findings with the pendulum. The utility of the test results for treatment is undetermined, though understanding the complexity of the patient's problem could significantly modify both the practitioner's prognosis and the patient's expectations.

Issue Publication Date: Jun, 1973. AB - Details the Mach-Dvorak phenomenon which may be used for marking the location in time of the disparate contour in the neural processing of sequential, dichoptic stimulation. The phenomenon involves repetitive, sequential, intermittent views of a moving stimulus by the 2 eyes. The resulting perception is that of depth displacement of the moving stimulus as a function of delay of the eye views. In an experiment with 4 Os the exposure to 1 eye was made short and was used to index points of no depth displacement in equal and longer exposures to the other eye. Control conditions used filters to achieve equivalent retinal illuminance levels both with continuous viewing of 2 eyes and with intermittent viewing of 1 eye. Ss made magnitude judgments of the apparent depth displacement. Judgments were made to random ordered delays presented in discrete exposure. Reduced illuminance to 1 eye affected, oppositely, the response to equal and unequal viewing duration and the latency of the simultaneous and alternate points of no depth displacement. It is concluded that at least 2 neural mechanisms are needed to explain the results. (French, German & Russian summaries) (31 ref.)

Ss were 12 U.S. Army enlisted men. For each of 4 taste substances (glucose, NaC1, citric acid, quinine sulfate), 4-5 concentrations of solution were evaluated at each of 6 temperatures (25-50.C). Power functions of the form T = kCn related subjective intensity to molarity at a fixed solution temperature. The exponent n for all tastes but citric acid was unaffected by temperature, suggesting that the growth rate of intensity with concentrations is unaffected within a 25. change. The intercept k varied with temperature for glucose and was linearly related to temperature for NaC1.

Ss demonstrated violent losses of control upon minimal provocation, aurae and post-ictal states following such episodes, a history of alcoholism and increased aggression after alcohol, a childhood history of hyperkinesis and truancy, and a family background of alcoholism, sociopathy and violence in the males, and depression in the females. Such patients had frequently been in trouble with the law and were especially prone to use their automobiles aggressively. None of the 22 patients demonstrated obvious brain disease until adequately evaluated. Even after thorough evaluation, brain abnormalities could not be absolutely documented. Nevertheless, 19 of the 22 patients responded to Dilantin (diphenylhydantoin) with a decreased frequency and diminished severity of episodes. The possibility of functional abnormalities of limbic regions, especially the amygdala, is discussed. Further questions of diagnosis and control are raised. (45 ref.)

AB - 15 male college students participated in a competitive isometric exercise involving elbow flexion. Prior to the competitive session each S practiced individually on the apparatus for 8 sessions. During each session, continuous EMG recordings were made on the biceps muscle of the right arm. Training significantly improved both strength and endurance while reducing the average EMG amplitude. When team competition was introduced, there was a decrease in endurance and an increase in EMG amplitude. Training improved muscular strength and endurance by increasing the efficiency of muscle utilization. Competition, even with a partially trained skill, was considered a stressful situation that produced an overexpenditure of muscle activity and a resulting decrease in performance.

AB - Measured maximum voluntary manual pull on 18 Ss. These values were then used to determine the forces at 10% intervals from 30-100% of maximum strength for each S. In subsequent sessions, Ss started an exertion at 1 of these effort levels and then maintained an equal sensation of effort for 60 sec. The data at all 8 effort levels were closely approximated by triple-exponential decay functions. Since the function generated by a maximum voluntary contraction was not qualitatively different from the submaximal effort functions, it would seem that the fatigue curve may be viewed as a maximum effort function and, as such, involves the same processes that generate the lower intensity effort functions.

Eysenck (see PA, Vol. 35:6719), it was predicted that field-dependent introverts would have a higher incidence of neuroticism (above the 70th percentile, as measured by personality tests) than any other combination of the field-dependence and extraversion dimensions. The relationship was verified 6 times utilizing data from previously completed studies. Implications of the possibly genetically based results are discussed and potential areas of investigation are noted. (64 ref.)

Transition from 5,000-14,000 ft. induced temporary hypophagia, hypodipsia, and concomitant weight loss; gradual recovery occurred during the exposure period; return to 630-640 mm. Hg. after 7 days abruptly (< 24 hr.) alleviated these effects. Alterations in feeding activity during the off portions of the light cycle paralleled food intake changes. No reliable changes in spontaneous activity as a function of hypobaric transition were noted. Results suggest hypothalamic and frontal cortex involvement in hypoxia-induced behavioral shifts.

Responses were obtained during separate 3.5-hr exposures to each of 4 hypoxic conditions (sea level; 13,000; 15,000; 17,000 ft.). Analysis of variance of the results indicated systematic increases in RT and variability due to hypoxia, stimulus peripheralization, and their interaction which resembled the results of a previous study in which no central stimulus was used; however, the present RTs were smaller. Data indicate that, although the central task was more demanding, it acted to maintain alertness and thus reduce the hypoxic decrements in RT shown previously.

These tasks were performed after 3, 20, 24, and 45 hr. of exposure. Results indicate that (a) cognitive tasks showed a greater decrement in speed and accuracy than psychomotor tasks; (b) complex decision-making tasks were more affected than simple tasks; (c) speed was generally sacrificed to maintain accuracy; and (d) the greatest decrement on all tasks occurred at the 3-hr test period, after which performance improved.

Glass (see record [rid]1971-01553-001[/rid]) claim to have shown a reversed form of Stroop Color-Word Test interference in which implicit naming responses to irrelevant colors delay the reading of color words combined with the colors. They interpreted a legibility reduction that did not affect color visibility as increasing this interference from color naming to the 'weakened' reading response. However, this could have been only the result of lower legibility for the colored words compared to the control of the black words. The legibility reduction would be expected to increase any initial legibility difference between colored and black words. In the present study with 8 male 17-21 yr. olds who had completed Army basic training, a neutral word condition and a reduced legibility control condition were included. Evidence was obtained for a bona fide 'reversed interference' that was not the result of legibility differences or naming practice. Results are discussed in terms of a symmetrical failure of selective attention to focus on either the color or word analyzer.

Fiedler's suggestion that characteristics of a leadership situation could be 'engineered' to provide a productive match with leadership style. Increased leader power resulted in increased leader structuring behavior, but decreased leader power was ineffective in decreasing structuring behavior. Group productivity predictions derived from Fiedler's contingency model were supported in low ability groups but contradicted in high ability groups. It is concluded that while situational engineering may still be a viable idea, the ability of the model to provide specific 'engineering' guidance is questionable.

Tasks were a difficult and easy crossword puzzle. The free-choice and shared-labor strategies were more effective than divided labor. Free choice and divided labor were more efficient than shared labor. These patterns occurred on both the easy and difficult tasks.

Color-naming times increased slightly, then decreased sharply as preexposure intervals increased. Some delay in color naming still appeared for the longest (500-msec) preexposure. Ss were 10 17-22 yr. old males. Results indicate stages in word processing and their temporal characteristics. The preexposure interval that precedes the interference drop would be expected to shift with changes in color luminance, hue, and saturation and also with changes in word legibility. Thus it offers potential for assessing the effects of such manipulations on the speed of color and word processing.

In the 1st experiment, mothers of handled offspring were found to be less emotional in the open field than control mothers. In the 2nd experiment control litters and litters handled during their 1st wk. were fostered to mothers of nonhandled litters. The foster mothers and their new litters were not disturbed again until weaning 2 wk. later. Again, mothers which reared handled litters were less emotional than those which reared nonhandled litters.

Preparatory to engineering a program of contingency management in army basic combat training, the nature and extent of the reinforcement already present in the training system were measured. Trainees themselves served as judges of the motivational value and the frequency of occurrence of environmental happenings. Ratings were made on a 7-point scale, producing median values for each happening for both motivation and frequency. These median values ranged continuously from 1-7 and could be plotted in an 'action matrix' that facilitated interpretation and that automatically suggested the direction in which social reform programming should proceed.

Ss were also given a battery of tests, including the MPI and 16 PF. The prediction that Ss who stayed in the stressful situation would perform better on all tasks than Ss who withdrew was substantiated. However, motivation accounted for less variance in the criteria than intelligence. The effectiveness of personality and personal history data in predicting performance on the same criteria was explored. Multiple regression equations accounted for 50-75% of the variance of the criteria. The value of and need for specific rather than universal measures to predict performance is emphasized.

AB - Instituted a system designed to modify the reinforcement contingencies that impinge on the army recruit. Data on distress arousal in basic training and results from a trainee evaluation of basic training events suggest that the recruit's early weeks of exposure to the army are governed by requirements for an initiation rite, rather than founded upon principles of education and learning. Ss were 1,000 recruits. A program of contingency management (based upon operant conditioning procedures) in basic training is presented. Positive reinforcement of desirable behavior is in keeping with the recruit's 2-decade absorption of American culture and values. Findings indicate that new recruits already accept the necessities of military duty and the legitimacy of military service. Therefore, it is superfluous to undertake a process of forced rededication and recommitment.

High item intercorrelations and strong factor loadings of items comprising symptom clusters (i.e., arousal level, somatic discomfort, tired, and mood) support the previously reported breakdown of the General High Altitude Questionnaire into subscales. Rapid transition from low to high altitude resulted in an increase of these symptomatology subscale scores for 30 army enlisted men. Several subscale differences were also noted between phenformin and placebo Ss at low altitude. Such subscale measures could provide improved estimates of symptomatology, useful in assessing the effectiveness of various treatments intended to ameliorate AMS.

The obtained effort scales are linear as had been reported for shorter duration isometric muscle contractions.

A manual force produced mainly by the elbow flexors was monitored throughout 10 25-sec trials/session in 60 army enlisted men. The sessions differed in that the rest intervals between trials were either 25, 50, or 100 sec. The greatest loss in mean output is seen between the 1st and 2nd trials. An empirically derived regression equation provides predicted values which correlate .99 with the actual means. Strong muscles fatigue more than weak ones (p < .01). The average correlations between strength and relative decrement are all less than .1. No conclusions could be reached relative to the peripheral muscle fatigue hypothesis. The importance of considering personality variables in this type of work is discussed. (19 ref.)

Old enlisted men performed 5 manual tasks barehanded during exposure to a 60 -f ambient temperature control condition, a 0 -f condition, and 3 ambient temperature conditions of 20, 0, and -20 f, in which auxiliary heat was applied to the hands. The tasks consisted of the purdue pegboard assembly, block-stringing, minnesota rate of manipulation placing, knot-tying, and screw-tightening tasks, and were performed after exposure durations of 0, 60, 120, and 180 min. Exposure to the 0 -f condition without auxiliary heat resulted in significant performance decrements on all tasks. The application of auxiliary heat to the hands resulted in the avoidance or alleviation of impaired performance during cold exposure depending upon the task, ambient temperature condition, and duration of exposure. The differential effects of auxiliary heat during cold exposure across manual performance tasks were related to the effects of auxiliary heat on hand skin temperature. These effects are discussed in terms of differential hand and finger dexterity, strength, and speed of movement requirements across tasks.

On the average, maskers with a relatively uniform envelope (low peak factor) produce more masking than maskers with a more peaked envelope. The amount of masking produced by individual maskers with a relatively uniform envelope is related to the short-time spectrum of the maskers. Changes of 10-15 db. In the detectability of sinusoidal signals were noted as a function of changes in the short-time spectrum of the masker. The ability of the auditory system to perform a short-time analysis of brief stimuli is supported by the results. (22 ref.)

AB - Recorded click-evoked potentials from 6 unanesthetized female cats with electrodes chronically implanted in the auditory cortex, cochlear nucleus, and round window. The clicks (irrelevant stimuli) were presented continuously as background before, during, and after the presentation of a visual discrimination task (relevant stimuli) which attempted to alter the attentive state. The mean peak-to-peak amplitudes of averaged click-evoked responses were significantly smaller during attention to the visual discrimination stimuli when compared with the prediscrimination and control periods. This relationship was present at all electrode placements for 5 ss with middle ear muscles cut and 1 control with middle ear muscles intact. Results suggest that during attention, a central inhibitory mechanism, independent of middle ear muscles, modified click-evoked responses possibly via the olivocochlear bundle which terminates on the hair cells in the cochlea.

AB - Determined test-stimulus thresholds as a function of the interval separating the masking- and test-stimuli onsets as a darkened area in the visual field was exposed binocularly once each 750 5 msec. For a duration of 21, 42, or 188 msec. 2 os, a 23-yr-old female with normal vision and a 26-yr-old male with prescription lenses to correct myopic and astigmatic refractive errors, were used. Increased test-stimulus thresholds were observed following the onset of the masking stimulus and were directly related to the duration of the dark interval. Results demonstrate that when the eyes are briefly exposed to a dark interval, transient fluctuations in visual sensitivity occur. Such sensitivity changes, which are likely of neural origin, affect the magnitude of masking effects.

The discriminability of such wave forms, which differ only in their phase spectra, was measured under various conditions. The total duration of the waveforms was varied as well as the nature of the differences in their phase spectra. Results suggest that the ear can discriminate differences in temporal order as small as 2.5 msec. When both waveforms were partially masked by noise, some pairs could be discriminated when only 6 db. Above their masked threshold. When these waveforms were used as maskers of sinusoidal signals, they did not produce equal masking, although the energy in any region near the signal frequency was the same for all maskers. The masked threshold for the sinusoids changed as much as 15 db. As a function of the particular waveform used as the masker.

The psychophysical functions for sourness conformed to the power relation s = kcn which relates sensory intensity, s, to physical concentration, C. Averaged across the 24 acids, the exponent for sourness was .85 for both m and percentage concentrations, and about -1.70 for ph concentration. The intercept, k, which is a measure of relative sourness, differed across acids. The particular measure used to designate the concentration of an acid markedly influenced its magnitude and rank order of sourness. (18 ref.)

In addition to the well-known logarithmic recovery, 3 other types of recovery were seen (diphasic, plateau, and rebound). A descriptive model is developed for the classification of these recovery functions.

AB - Administered the achromatic and chromatic versions of the Stroop Color-Word Test to 25 male 17-34 yr. old soldiers with visual acuity and color vision within normal limits. When the patches were rectangles, achromatic shades were named slightly faster than colors. With interference to naming from the use of incongruent names as stimuli, achromatic shades were named much faster than colors. Interference from incongruent names thus appears to amplify processing time differences and may prove useful for temporal analysis of the visual processing of hue, luminance, and saturation. Extensions of the Stroop test to other perceptual attributes should allow similar analyses of these attributes.

AB - Used the behavior of 19 male Sprague-Dawley rats trained on an avoidance schedule to assess performance decrements at altitude. After adequate base-line behavior of 95 ± 5% avoidance on 3 consecutive days was attained, Ss were subjected to hypobaric hypoxia (23, 000 ft.) for 2 or 4 hr. prior to an experimental session. Performance in this environment was disrupted in that Ss responded primarily to the shock rather than an auditory or visual cue. Brain norepinephrine levels were reduced about 20% in untrained and performing Ss at altitude. Inhibition of MAO with tranylcypromine, .5 mg/kg, prevented the reduction in norepinephrine in untrained Ss at altitude and increased the levels above normal in performing Ss at altitude but did not improve the performance. Data suggest that alterations in the behavior of performing rats at altitude are not related to absolute levels of norepinephrine. (19 ref.)

For all ITIs there was a rapid initial reduction in output followed by an essentially linear decline. The effect of the ITIs on the within-trial decrements were quite small with a difference of less than 2% of maximum between the means for the shortest and longest intervals. For the longer rest conditions there was a reduction in the within-trial decrement over trials. For shorter ITIs, recovery tended to increase with successive rests, but for longer intervals there was a tendency for recovery to decrease with repeated rests. The amount of strength recovery with rest was influenced not only by the length of rest but also by the degree to which the response was degraded by prior performance.

AB - Hypothesized that a rhesus monkey's aggressive behavior may be predictive of his adrenal cortical response to shock avoidance. In Exp. I, the relative aggressiveness of 12 sexually mature male rhesus monkeys was estimated and Ss were exposed to 4 wk. of free operant avoidance. Urinary 17 hydroxycorticosteroid (17-OHCS) output was used as a measure of stress. Results show that the high-aggressive Ss are chronically stressed and take longer to learn the task. Low-aggressive Ss show little stress response and learn the task quickly. In Exp. II, with 11 Ss, the avoidance paradigm was altered to study the possible confounding levels between the 2 groups is chronic and stable and is not necessarily a function of either variable. The stable differences in 17-OHCS output are interpreted as being a function of the interaction of a particular type of S and a particular type of task.

AB - Measured the performance of 32 male volunteers on 90-min auditory and visual vigilance tasks in conventional and theory of signal detection indices as a function of coupling, sense mode, and time on task. Order effects, correlations between sense modes, and possible effects of observing responses were also examined. Regardless of the coupling condition or sense mode involved, BETA increased while hits and false alarms decreased as time on task increased. There was no significant decline in d' over time on task for either sense mode or coupling conditions. In general, conventional measures of performance were similar for the auditory and visual tasks. Significant cross-modality correlations were obtained for false alarms, latency, and BETA values. No order effects were observed. Results are discussed in terms of expectancy theory and an observing response model. (23 ref.)

When later trained on an avoidance task, submissive Ss learned significantly faster than dominant Ss. Results support the hypothesis that the tendency for a dominant S to respond with aggressiveness is maladaptive and leads to slower learning, whereas the tendency for a submissive S to escape or avoid is adaptive and leads to faster learning.

Infraslow potentials recorded from cerebellar cortex decreased in amplitude as Ss habituated to the vestibular stimulation. Electrical stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation under nembutal led to a return of the slow phase of nystagmus (S being oscillated), whereas electrical stimulation of a fastigial nucleus under the same conditions always elicited a contralateral fast phase. A discrete lesion of the tuber vermis led to rapid unidirectional habituation to vestibular stimulation. Data support A. Brodal's hypothesis that the fastigial nuclei exert control over the vestibular nuclei and resulting oculomotor responses. The folium-tuber vermis appears to be the primary structure controlling habituation through its direct inhibitory action on the fastigial nuclei. (French summary) (61 ref.)

It was found that when Ss (ns = 64 and 16 Army enlisted men) were required to keep track of 4 categories of information at once, they normally optimized performance with 2 of these categories. If incentives were provided which called for optimal performance with all 4 categories, overall performance deteriorated. Implications for the spatial window model are discussed.

I (N = 10 19-35 yr. old males) was concerned with the effects of varying period, duty cycle, and frequency on threshold measurements obtained using pulsed tones and was done to derive an 'optimal' pulsed tone. Exp. II (N = 3 20-24 yr. old undergraduates, highly trained) compared thresholds taken using the optimized pulsed tone to those obtained with continuous tones. The effects of varying attenuation rate with both types of presentation were also investigated. Pulsed tones were found to yield superior threshold measurements both in terms of greater sensitivity and less intratest variability. Also, continuous tone thresholds were found to be susceptible to changes in attenuation rate whereas pulsed tone thresholds were not. (16 ref.)

Results suggest that, for all sugars except mannose, the intensity of sweetness grows as a power function of concentration, with an exponent of 1.3. The relative sweetness of sugars was determined using both molarity and % by weight. With both measures, sucrose and fructose were the sweetest sugars. The order of the remaining sugars in the sweetness hierarchy was partly a function of the measure of concentration. The variability of the magnitude estimates of sweetness was roughly proportional to the stimulus concentration, supporting Weber's law. (15 ref.)

AB - Tested the hypothesis that Ss structure responses according to relevant conditional probability event patterns in a 2-choice prediction task observing effects of training, incentive, and display on learning 2nd-order event patterns. 80 male college students in 8 groups were exposed to a high frequency of pattern occurrence for 600 prediction trials. Incentive was manipulated by reinforcing certain predictions at a 10:1 ratio over others. To observe display effects, S was informed of the previous 2 events. Results indicate that Ss learn the patterns within 900 trials. Training produces positive transfer effects, but neither training nor display enhancement eliminate a tendency to predict event repetitions (perseveration). The differential incentive eliminates the perseverative tendency but does not increase the learning rate over that resulting from an equal incentive. It is concluded that: (a) S is capable of organizing his responses to reflect the statistical structure of event sequence, and (b) his organizing capability is biased by a tendency to group events according to similarity.

AB - Attempted to determine whether consistent intersubject differences in sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity appear during a number of thermal and nonthermal stress situations. 24 male adults were classified as sympathetic or parasympathetic according to their autonomic balance scores and were then exposed to 1 nonstress (comedy movie) and 4 independent stress conditions (cold, heat, anagrams, and films of surgery), while recordings were taken of pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, palmar skin conductance, and instep temperature. Regardless of the autonomic measure involved, rank orderings of Ss tended to remain consistent across stressors, and, correspondingly, sympathetic Ss generally displayed greater SNS activity than parasympathetic Ss. The origins of differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic Ss were also analyzed and discussed.

Ss were allowed to determine their own schedules of work and rest. Ss breathed air during the 1st 9 sessions. During the 2nd 9 sessions (experimental) Ss breathed either 21, 14, or 12% O2. Results indicated that Ss paced themselves by stopping rather than changing their rate of pedaling. Training reduced the number of stops per session, while hypoxia had the opposite effect. (15 ref.)

AB - Studied the effects of exposure to combinations of low ambient temperatures (70, 20, 0, -20, -40–F) and wind (3, 10, 20, 30 mph) upon binocular depth discrimination at 3 viewing distances (20, 40, 60 ft.). 60 groups of 8 Ss each were randomly assigned to 1 of 60 possible treatment combinations in a factorial design, and binocularly performed depth equality settings using the Howard-Dolman task. The results indicated significant main effects for temperature, wind, and viewing distance, as well as a significant Temperature Windspeed interaction, which occurred for a very brief exposure duration of 1 min. The results are interpreted in light of previous findings for binocular viewing over natural terrain, supporting the notion of 2 types of stereoscopic threshold, i.e., true stereopsis and relative sensitivity in commonplace viewing.

AB - 6 normal humans were trained on tasks involving memory and attention and their sensitivity to the drug was determined. After training, they were tested at 0 and 3 levels of the drug. In every case, the drug effects followed the regular dose-response curve. When the demand load of the test was great, very high doses of the drug had no effect. When the demand load was lower, a dose-related drug action was obtained. A common effect of intoxicating chemicals is to produce a less differentiated, simpler, mental structure.

AB - Tested the relations between 4 indices of arousal (heart rate, respiration rate, dominant EEG alpha rate, and an integrated score of EEG activity) and 3 methods of time estimation (verbal estimation, production, and tapping). 40 undergraduates, chosen according to their scores on the MA scale, estimated short intervals under low and high (threat of shock) induced-arousal conditions. Data indicated relationships between dominant alpha rate and time estimation within each induced-arousal condition (thus supporting Hoagland's chemical clock hypothesis) and between heart rate and time estimation within the high induced-arousal condition. No significant differences in time estimation by any method between induced-arousal conditions were found. Physiological and psychological differences between induced and chronic arousal states are pointed out and the meaning of the results for the concept of arousal is discussed. (32 ref.)

AB - Investigated the combined effects of acetazolamide and hypoxia upon several types of visual performance at conditions of low and high illumination. 2 groups of 18 volunteer soldiers each received either acetazolamide or placebo tablets and were tested on the same visual measures both at sea level and at a terrestrial elevation of 12,800 ft. Results showed no statistically significant differences between visual performances at low and high elevations regardless of the illumination level. Although acetazolamide combined with hypoxia did not generate any visual anomalies, its effectiveness in reducing visual decrements produced by more severe hypoxia cannot be predicted from the data.

AB - Related an individual-differences approach to data obtained from a large, multidisciplinary field study of the effects of altitude on a number of variables, including running performance and illness symptomatology. Ss were 45 Special Forces soldiers. Personality-related effects of altitude on both performance and symptoms were obtained under placebo and drug (acetazolamide) conditions. In addition, age and cigarette smoking were found to be positively related to decrements in running performance from sea level to altitude. Findings supplement certain of the conclusions and generalizations produced by a groups-oriented approach in that the results suggest that acetazolamide (1) may adversely affect running performance in some types of individuals, (2) does not appear to reduce illness in some types of individuals, and (3) that Ss for whom the drug appears to be effective in reducing the symptoms of illness appear to be among those in whom the drug induces a performance decrement.

Page Count: 6. Issue Publication Date: 1968. AB - A test was conducted of S. H. Bartley's hypothesis that the dominant cortical alpha rhythm is the mediating mechanism for brightness enhancement phenomena. Alpha rhythm samples were obtained periodically on 17 male and female undergraduates while they adjusted the luminance of a steady light to match the apparent luminance of a flickering light presented in all combinations of 20 flicker frequencies ranging from 3.5-13 cps and 3 light-time fractions (LTFs). Correlational analysis of the alpha values paired with the flicker frequencies at which peak brightness settings occurred showed no significant relationships either in individual alpha-LTF comparisons or in the overall correspondence of alpha to the brightness data. Thus, Bartley's hypothesis was not supported by the results of this study. (16 ref.)

The effectiveness of codeine and phenformin in reducing the adverse effects of acute exposure to high altitude was evaluated. The main effect of acute exposure to high altitude was on time required to complete tasks; in contrast, high elevation had little effect on accuracy of performance. Neither was effective in improving performance.

(2) BODY COOLING AFFECTED STEADINESS-AIMING (SA) PERFORMANCE, BUT DID NOT AFFECT PERFORMANCE ON THE CRAIK SCREW TASK, THE PURDUE PEGBOARD ASSEMBLY (PA) TASK, AND THE 2-PLATE-TAPPING TASK. (3) THE EFFECT OF LEVEL OF BODY COOLING ON SA PERFORMANCE WAS SIMILAR FOR FAST AND SLOW COOLING RATES. SIGNIFICANT BS AND PA PERFORMANCE DECREMENTS OCCURRED ONLY UNDER THE LOW LEVEL AND SLOW RATE CONDITION. (4) INCREASING THE DURATION OF EXPOSURE FOR 20 AND 40 MIN. AFTER A GIVEN MWST CONDITION WAS ATTAINED RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN BS PERFORMANCE. (5) PRACTICE RESULTED IN IMPROVED BS PERFORMANCE UNDER BODY-COOLING CONDITIONS, BUT DID NOT ALTER THE DECREMENTAL EFFECT OF BODY COOLING ON PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO THE CONTROL CONDITION.

AS TIME ON TASK INCREASED, THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN NUMBER OF DETECTIONS AND FALSE RESPONSES AND A CORRESPONDING SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN RESPONSE LATENCY. THE CONSISTENT RANK-ORDER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STIMULUS CONDITIONS SUGGESTS THAT THERE WERE UNIFORM TRENDS AMONG THESE CONVENTIONAL RESPONSE MEASURES.

SUCH BEHAVIOR IS ADVANTAGEOUS WHEN USED TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT LEARNING CAN BE TRANSFERRED FROM 1 RAT TO ANOTHER BY TRANSFER OF BIOCHEMICAL SUBSTANCES. IT IS EASY TO PRODUCE, EXTINGUISHES SLOWLY, AND CAN BE DETECTED IN RECIPIENT RATS SIMPLY BY GIVING THEM A CHOICE BETWEEN WATER AND SACCHARIN SOLUTION. THE PRESENT EXPERIMENT WITH MALE SPRAGUE DAWLEY RATS, WHICH USED 1 OF A LARGE NUMBER OF POSSIBLE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES, YIELDED INSIGNIFICANT RESULTS. BUT THE TECHNIQUE WAS FOUND TO BE POTENTIALLY SENSITIVE. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT IF THE AVERSION WERE TO TRANSFER TO ONLY 15% OF THE RECIPIENTS, A TRANSFER EFFECT AT ABOUT THE .01 SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL COULD BE DETECTED WITH A TOTAL OF 44 RECIPIENTS, INCLUDING CONTROLS.

AB - A LATENCY EXPLANATION OF THE PULFRICH PHENOMENON OF BINOCULAR VISION PROVIDES FOR THE SEEN PATH WITH AN OSCILLATING PENDULUM TO BE SYMMETRICAL AND AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LINE OF SIGHT. SINCE THE EXPERIENCE OF ASYMMETRIES IN THE SEEN PATH OF A PENDULUM, WHEN VIEWED WITH 1 EYE FILTERED, IS MORE THAN THE EXCEPTION, AN EXPLANATION WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE FOR BOTH SYMMETRY AND ASYMMETRY IS TO BE PREFERRED. A SACCADIC SUPPRESSION EXPLANATION OFFERS THIS POSSIBILITY AND WOULD PROVIDE THAT VISION WOULD BE SUPPRESSED IN THE FILTERED EYE 1ST FOLLOWED BY SUPPRESSION IN THE UNFILTERED EYE. BOTH EYES WOULD RECOVER VISION SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE PREDICTED RESULTANT DISPARATE STIMULATION IS CONSISTENT IN DIRECTION WITH THAT NECESSARY TO THE PULFRICH PHENOMENON. THE DETAILS OF THE REQUIRED STIMULATION WERE CHECKED USING SIMPLE AND COMPOUND EPISCOTISTERS. THE RESULTS WITH THE EPISCOTISTERS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PULFRICH PHENOMENON.

AB - MMPI data on 136 soldiers committed to disciplinary barracks were compared with Schmidt's data on 'normal' soldiers. The profiles of the prisoner group were also compared among themselves when the group was divided as showing (1) no psychiatric disorder, (2) emotional instability, or (3) an antisocial personality. The profiles of these 3 groups were quite similar in form though they differed in degree of score elevation. All 3 groups differed significantly from normals, especially on the Pd, Ma, and D scales.

AB - A COMPREHENSIVE DAMAGE-RISK CRITERION (DRC) FOR IMPULSE-NOISE EXPOSURE IS NEEDED, AND IT IS DESIRABLE TO STATE THE DRC IN TERMS OF ALLOWABLE TTS (TEMPORARY THRESHOLD SHIFT), SINCE TTS IS BOTH A VALID AND CONVENIENT MEASURE OF NOISE EFFECTS ON HEARING. THIS IS POSSIBLE ONLY IF TTS IS ALSO A RELIABLE MEASURE. 4 TTS-RELIABILITY STUDIES ARE REPORTED. THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS ARE REACHED: (1) INDIVIDUAL S'S TTSS ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY RELIABLE TO PERMIT GENERALIZATION OF IMPULSE-NOISE EFFECTS. (2) GROUP MEAN TTS VARIES ONLY SLIGHTLY ACROSS A SERIES OF EXPOSURES AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE A RELIABLE (CONSISTENT, REPEATABLE) MEASURE. THIS IS TRUE FOR THE EXPOSURE OF NORMAL-HEARING SS TO DIFFERENT IMPULSE-NOISE CONDITIONS, FOR THE TTSS OF SUBNORMAL-HEARING SS, AND FOR FREQUENCIES REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WHOLE RANGE OF HUMAN HEARING. (3) THE FORMULATION OF AN IMPULSE-NOISE DRC SHOULD BE BASED ON GROUP DATA (MEANS, QUARTILES, ETC.). SAMPLES SHOULD BE AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE AND SHOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE POPULATION TO WHICH GENERALIZATION OF RESULTS IS DESIRED.

AB - In the first part we have seen the Virtues and their Contrasts, under the three natural divisions of the sphere above us, within us, and around us. In this second part we consider the Passions. With the Passions we must include the dispositions of men. By the latter we mean those proclivities to certain passions which accompany the different temperaments, ages, and conditions among mankind. The Passions are regarded in Ethics for ethical purposes. The first ethical purpose is to moderate them in ourselves that they shall not hinder the fulfilment of duties and the attainment of virtues. The second ethical purpose is, so to know the passions in others that we can better promote their welfare and happiness, and our own.

In the use of time he may fulfil or violate an obligation. Duties to self were divided into those belonging to the whole man, and to things investing him. The previous chapters have embraced the first division. The second remains for the present chapter.

They occupy this position because they result from those virtues which have preceded them, and direct those which are to follow them. Each human being is, first of all, to love God and the public good more than self. He is, then, subordinately to love himself, as an instrument for virtues and for deeds that are good, and that do good. He is then to love individual persons as himself, extending to them the same chastened and ennobled affection which he has learned to apply to his individual being. The first of these duties is a foundation for the second, and the second for the third.

The word Morals leads to the same view. It is derived from a term which has a similar signification, Custom. The word thus indicates Habits, as the Subject regarded by Ethics, or Morals. Practical Ethics may be described accordingly, as that branch of Morals, which teaches what Virtues are to be practised; what vices are to be avoided, and how passions are to be regulated so as to promote a man's well-being, and that of other men through him.

It may be named actual, because it states, without theory, what actually is right or wrong; or positive, because it declares positively an existing fact, without giving reasons. Practical Ethics is the subject now under consideration. To understand its nature, and divisions, we must refer Habits, as its subject-matter, to their ends and their sources.

Peristalsis is smooth muscle contraction that moves gas and food through the gastrointestinal tract. Normally a motor nerve impulse stimulates release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Neostigmine inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine, which then accumulates in the neuromuscular junction and hinds to nerve receptors. This prolongs and exaggerates its effects, increasing peristalsis and relaxing most bowel sphincters to aid bowel decompression.

Like other health care organizations, the Red Cross has felt the impact of nursing shortage. Nurses are needed to help with relief efforts in the wake of natural and manmade disasters, including hurricanes, floods, forest fires and earthquakes and the current war on terrorism has increased the demand for nurses with appropriate response skills in all settings.

AB - Examined, through psychological testing, the psychiatric characteristics of a sample of 101 U.S. Army enlisted men returning from Vietnam identified as heroin abusers. Marked heterogeneity of psychological test types was noted. The 4 most common diagnostic classifications were normal, conduct disorder, abnormal but of indeterminate diagnosis, and psychosis. In comparison with studies describing civilian addicts, the results of this study suggest less psychopathology and a lower incidence of sociopathy in these military drug abusers.

Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 1973. AB - Presented 8 18-24 yr old males with 4 word stimuli (red, blue, green, yellow) and a series of 5 letter 'Vs' written in black ink. The words or V were presented for 50 msec. A series of 4 'Xs' in red, blue, green, or yellow colors were then presented for naming after 0, 25, 50, or 100 msec. Color naming was delayed when the color patch was preceded by a color name in black ink. This delay was highly reliable, but only about half that obtained with individual stimulus versions of the Stroop Color-Word Test where the word and color are integrally combined. Interference was not affected by variation in interstimulus intervals. It is suggested that this paradigm may be used to explore naming interference with visual dimensions that cannot be combined with words and, by manipulation of the interval between word and color, to study the duration of neural activity associated with word.

AB - Tested the hypothesis that monitoring a simulated radio-communications network would show performance decrements at high altitude. In Exp. I, 9 enlisted men in an altitude chamber simulating 4 altitudes, from sea level to 17,000 ft., listened for 2 hr. to simulated communications. Interspersed were 36 'critical' messages instructing the S to press 1 of 5 buttons. Percentage of critical messages detected decreased significantly (p < .01) above 13,000 ft., and reaction time increased significantly (p < .01) with increasing altitude. Another measure of signal detection also decreased significantly (p < .01) with increasing altitude. Exp. II was a replication with highly motivated, mostly trained soldiers and added controls for any order effect. In each case, Ss performed better than those in Exp. I and their performance did not deteriorate significantly at higher altitudes. Discussion centers on the partial validity of both sets of data for realistic conditions.

AB - A probability gate presents a fixed but controllable transmission probability (p) to pulses arriving at its input. Some statistical properties of the transformation imposed by a gate on the input distribution of interpulse intervals are described. The output distribution of interpulse intervals is derived in terms of the input density and p. A simple relation is shown to hold between the moment generating functions, and the 1st 4 output moments are presented in terms of the input moments and p. Certain restrictions on the kinds of obtainable output distributions are discussed. In particular, a condition is established that specifies when the output density is a 'replica' of the input distribution.

Page Count: 2. Issue Publication Date: 1969. AB - The Army Classificaton Battery was developed in the 1940s to replace single omnibus measures of general ability. The tests in the battery are combined into aptitude area composites, which are used in making assignments to Army job-training courses. 3 sets of composites have been developed, and the importance of the tests of general ability has changed from set to set. In the 1st set, developed in the 1940s, the tests of general ability were predominant; in the 2nd set, developed in the 1950s, they declined in importance, and in the 3rd set, developed in the 1960s, they became more important again. The changes in the role of general ability tests are explained in terms of changes in the job-training courses.

AB - 48 Ss serving in a 1000-trial binary prediction task predicted event occurrences and indicated prediction confidence. 2nd-order event patterns of high and low probabilities were included; marginal and 1st-order event probabilities were controlled. 4 pattern types were presented in a continuous and discrete context. Analysis of prediction data indicated that: (1) all pattern types were learned in high strenth conditions but not in low strength conditions, and (2) order of difficulty in learning each pattern type depended upon the context. Analysis of confidence data revealed increased confidence over trials and different confidence levels for each pattern type.

AB - Measured hypothalamic self-stimulation rates of 6 rats under varying combinations of the current intensities of the reinforcing and continuous background stimuli at the same hypothalamic locus. Response rate increased with intensity of reinforcement, up to a point and then remained constant. Reductions in response rate were associated with increasing background current. Exp. II demonstrated that locomotor behavior increased with increasing background current during self-stimulation sessions. Results suggest that background stimulation elicited responses which were incompatible with operant responding.

Copyright Statement: Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. 1965. AB - Presents an article on a force-transducing manipulandum for use with dogs. In research utilizing dogs restrained in a device similar to a Pavlov frame, we required a force-transducing pedal with the following specifications: (a) used in conjunction with a Sanborn carrier preamplifier and recording system, it registers a wide range of response forces; (b) its voltage output is linear over the entire range, and it can therefore be used in conjunction with an electronic threshold switch, enabling the experimenter to predetermine the force of response required to activate a control relay (e.g., to trigger a reinforcement); (c) alternatively, force of response can be ignored as a variable for study, so that pressing on the pedal merely trips a microswitch to activate a control relay. The particular concern was with the force levels that could be registered. The problem was to find a force-transducer that could handle the higher forces likely to be exerted by an animal as heavy as the dog and still give linear voltage output.

JO - Oncology Nursing Forum JF - Oncology Nursing Forum Y1 - 2007/01// VL - 34 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 189 PB - Oncology Nursing Society SN - 0190535X AB - A growing body of research that has investigated exercise rehabilitation in patients with cancer has demonstrated dramatic improvements in physiological and psychological functioning. However, the impact of participation in these programs on health over time has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to assess over time (18-months) the ability of an exercise intervention program to effect a change in health habits and improvement in health in patients with cancer as compared to patients with cancer who did not participate in the study program. Roy Adaptation Model. This was a quasi-experimental, repeated measures study. 128 participants were recruited into the study, 70 into the Exercise Group and 58 into the Comparison Group. Participants in the Exercise Group were enrolled into a structured exercise program consisting of supervised aerobic exercise. Subjects met two days each week for 12 weeks and exercised an additional three to five days each week at home. Participants in the Comparison Group were instructed to continue their normal activities. Key exercise variables were change over time in exercise tolerance as measured with a sub-maximal graded exercise test and the Physical Activities Questionnaire, both valid and reliable measures of exercise. Descriptive statistics and repeated-measures analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. Participants were predominantly Caucasian, married, and well-educated. Half were male and half female. Ages ranged from 31 to 86. Participants had a wide range of cancer diagnoses; most had early stage disease. All had completed cancer therapy within the previous six months. Significant differences (p < .05) between groups and over time were found in heart rate and rate of perceived exertion with the participants in the Exercise Group improving the most and sustaining these improvements over time. This research supports exercise as an intervention to improve health of patients with cancer. Additional research is needed to determine the best way to assess exercise tolerance and how it relates to quality of life over time.

They included desired effort and actual effort as perceived by the employees and performance as observed by their superiors. Results show that intrinsic activity value was a much more useful predictor across all 3 motivation indices. Moreover, as predicted, there were progressively weaker relationships between the predictors and desired effort, actual effort, and performance in that order.

His fear of needles was traceable to an incident in which he was unaware of an impending injection, causing a surprised reaction when he was injected, which, in turn, necessitated an operation to remove part of the needle which had broken off and remained imbedded. He had received no injections for a period of 14 yr. Following this incident. The desensitization proceeded from the patient being told that a needle was in the drawer to the patient rubbing the point against his own naked arm and culminated with his receiving an inoculation without undue anxiety.

The objective is to examine the applicability of NTVPM to predicting the cross-country performance of small, lightweight tracked vehicles on deformable terrain. The performance of the track system predicted by NTVPM is compared with experimental data obtained in a laboratory soil bin by the Robotic Mobility Group, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is shown that the correlation between the tractive performance predicted by NTVPM and that measured is reasonably close, as indicated by the values of the coefficient of correlation , coefficient of determination, root mean squared deviation, and coefficient of variation. The results of this study provide evidence for supporting the view that physics-based methods, such as NTVPM, that are developed on the understanding of the physical nature and detailed analysis of vehicle–terrain interaction, are applicable to large, heavy, as well as small, lightweight vehicles, provided that appropriate terrain data are used as input.

The unique characteristics are derived from the solid state thermomechanical processing of predominantly martensitic feedstock powders. During deposition, these powders undergo high strain rate deformation, leading to shear band-induced transformation of martensitic grains into nano-scale martensite, equiaxed alpha structures, and nanostructured alpha grains. The resultant microstructure evolution is dependent on the magnitude and direction of shear undergone by the particles. The specific structure and mechanism for formation of these regions will be discussed in detail using nanohardness mapping, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2015/10// VL - 53 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 39 EP - 45 SN - 01636804 AB - Tactical networking environments present many challenges in terms of bandwidth, latency, reliability, stability, and connectivity. Sensors can today generate very large data sets that exceed the ability of tactical networks to transfer and disseminate them in a timely manner. Furthermore, the desire to cover larger areas with persistent sensing capabilities, have resulted in the widescale deployment of inexpensive sensors, further widening the gap between the volume of information that is generated and the subset that can successfully be delivered to consumers. This article explores the notion of determining the value of information in order to prioritize and filter information that is disseminated over these tactical networks, focusing on the dissemination of information to and from dismounted soldiers in a battlefield environment. This is a promising approach to mitigate the constraints of tactical networks and to reduce information overload on soldiers.

The concentrations of the inhibitors were varied to determine the highest level of inhibition without a pro-oxidant/browning effect. UV absorbance and gas chromatography/mass spec (GC/MS) with solid phase microextraction (SPME) sampling was used to study browning in the model systems. Hunter L*, a*, b* was used to analyze the color change results of the inhibitors on applesauce and bakery rolls. It was determined that a 1.0% solution of either antioxidant in the glucose/glycine system produced the greatest inhibition and a synergistic effect was not apparent when the two were combined. Inhibition of browning and a lack of synergy between the antioxidants were also determined in food systems consisting of applesauce and bakery rolls. GC/MS analysis of the model system revealed a high level of pyrazine formation in no-inhibitor control samples and the absence of pyrazines in inhibitor-containing samples. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Practical Application Natural browning inhibitors, that is Rosmarinic acid and Epigallocatechin gallate, can be added to food items to inhibit browning over a prolonged period of storage in order to increase product shelf stability. The concentrations of the inhibitors require optimization since a pro-oxidant effect and increased browning will occur at high levels.

Recent evidence implicates divided attention, but to date no study has directly manipulated divided attention in navigational aid contexts. The present study addresses this need. Participants navigated virtual towns with aid presence and divided attention factorially crossed in a within-participants design. They then completed spatial memory assessments. Divided attention alone impaired spatial memory. Navigational aid presence impaired spatial memory when attention was undivided, replicating previous findings, but did not to a greater extent when attention was divided. These findings suggest that navigational aids divide attention sufficiently to impair spatial memory.

JO - Applied Animal Behaviour Science JF - Applied Animal Behaviour Science Y1 - 2015/10// VL - 171 M3 - Article SP - 177 EP - 183 SN - 01681591 AB - The impact of war on local wildlife can be devastating, the effects of which are often felt well beyond the terminus of the initial threat. In areas where wildlife experiences unrestricted movement through previously affected zones, residual, unexploded landmines present a significant and potentially lethal problem. Anecdotal reports of African elephants ( Loxodonta africana ), in a once war-torn Angola, avoiding minefields together with telemetry data suggest that the species may be able to detect concealed landmines using olfaction. Before any in-field experiments can be conducted, an elephant's olfactory capacity for the detection of the most commonly used component in landmines, trinitrotoluene (TNT), needed to be established. Using three African elephants under controlled conditions, we used operant conditioning to test whether elephants are able to detect and reliably indicate the presence of TNT using olfaction. Elephants detected and indicated TNT using olfaction at levels greater than chance, with high sensitivity and selectivity, even when in the presence of highly volatile distractor odors. Additionally, the sensitivity of detection surpasses that of TNT-detection dogs working under similar conditions, suggesting that the potential application of African elephants within the biosensor-field should not be underestimated.

However, if the model is flexible enough to fit a large proportion of potential empirical outcomes, finding a good fit becomes less meaningful. We propose a method for estimating the proportion of potential empirical outcomes that the model can fit: Model Flexibility Analysis (MFA). MFA aids model evaluation by providing a metric for gauging the persuasiveness of a given fit. We demonstrate that MFA can be more informative than merely discounting the fit by the number of free parameters in the model, and show how the number of free parameters does not necessarily correlate with the flexibility of the model. Additionally, we contrast MFA with other flexibility assessment techniques, including Parameter Space Partitioning, Model Mimicry, Minimum Description Length, and Prior Predictive Evaluation. Finally, we provide examples of how MFA can help to inform modeling results and discuss a variety of issues relating to the use of MFA in model validation.

JO - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental JF - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental Y1 - 2015/10// VL - 176/177 M3 - Article SP - 315 EP - 324 SN - 09263373 AB - Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is a photocatalyst widely used for the degradation of inorganic and organic contaminants in the environment; however, its lack of chemical specificity can be a particular limitation since every species in solution, including valued, innocuous, and deactivating compounds, will be degraded or deleterious to the process. Here, we describe a means to target the photocatalysis by surface modification of nanoparticulate TiO 2 with a 13 amino acid streptavidin binding peptide (SBP) for the selective degradation of streptavidin, a 60 kDa tetrameric protein. Modification of the TiO 2 surface with the affinity peptide was confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV/Vis absorbance, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), while streptavidin binding and affinity to bound SBP were tested using fluorescently tagged antibodies against streptavidin. Results show that the SBP retains its affinity toward streptavidin after immobilization onto TiO 2 . Photodegradation studies using the visible region of simulated solar radiation (≥360 nm) showed rapid streptavidin degradation by SBP–TiO 2 both in solution and while the photocatalyst was immobilized as a thin film on a glass substrate. In contrast, photocatalytic degradation of a non-target protein, lysozyme, was inhibited by the SBP monolayer and incompletely degraded, indicating that surface modification with biorecognition agents can control and modulate the photocatalytic process. Moreover, after extended illumination (3 h), the SBP-modified TiO 2 surface retained its ability to bind streptavidin demonstrating that the SBP is stable at the TiO 2 surface and that the SBP–TiO 2 surface is reusable. These results indicate that the modification of TiO 2 with covalently bound peptide recognition moieties offers the ability to selectively degrade target proteins of interest, leaving non-target components largely unaffected.

This material has FeCo with an A2 or B2 structure embedded in an amorphous matrix. An alloy of composition Fe56Co24Nb4B13Si2Cu1 was cast into a 1.10 in. wide, 0.001 in. thick ribbon from which a toroidal core of approximately 4.25 in. outer diameter, 1.38 in. inner diameter, and 1.10 in. tall was wound. The core was given a 2 T transverse magnetic field anneal, and impregnated for strength. Field annealing resulted in a linear B-H response with a relative permeability of 1400 that remained constant up to field strengths of 1.2 T. The core was used to construct a 25 μH inductor for a 25 kW dc-dc converter. The inductor was rated for operation in discontinuous conduction mode at a peak current of 300 A and a switching frequency of up to 20 kHz. Compared to commercially available materials, this new alloy can operate at higher flux densities and higher temperatures, thus reducing the overall size of the inductor.

ARL has been working on a device, the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) flux concentrator, that mitigates this problem by modulating the sensed magnetic field so that the sensor operates at a higher frequency region where the 1/f noise is smaller. Initial results of testing the device are reported. Though the final step in the fabrication of the device appears to have adversely affected the MEMS motion, two important results were obtained. They are (1) applying the large amplitude voltage at kilohertz frequencies necessary to drive the MEMS structure does not increase the background noise and (2) even though the width of the drive voltage is several hertz, one can demodulate the signal using a lock-in amplifier in order to extract 1 Hz modulation signals. This last result shows that the sensor can be used to detect slow moving or varying magnetic anomalies.

Plasma etching of the AlxGa1-xN surface prior to Schottky metal deposition, combined with sequential chemical treatment of the etched surface, holds promise for developing high quality low-leakage Schottky contacts for low noise applications and for recessed gate high electron mobility transistors. In this work, the effect of postetch chemical treatment of the n-type Al0.22Ga0.78N surface on the performance of the Ni/Au based Schottky contact has been investigated. Three different types of chemical treatment: viz, reactive ion etching, reactive ion etching plus dipping in hot aqua regia, and reactive ion etching plus dipping in hot KOH, are studied. Detailed current-voltage studies of three different surface treated diodes and a comparison with as-deposited diodes reveal significant improvement in the diode characteristics. The latter surface treatment yields Ni/Au Schottky diodes with very low reverse leakage currents, breakdown voltages greater than 44 V, and an ideality factor as low as 1.14.

The method is a combination of the reaction ensemble Monte Carlo method and the dual control volume grand canonical molecular dynamics technique. The method, termed the dual control cell reaction ensemble molecular dynamics method, allows for the calculation of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium transport properties in porous materials such as diffusion coefficients, permeability, and mass flux. Control cells, which are in direct physical contact with the porous solid, are used to maintain the desired reaction and flow conditions for the system. The simulation setup closely mimics an actual experimental system in which the thermodynamic and flow parameters are precisely controlled. We present an application of the method to the dry reforming of methane reaction within a nanoscale reactor model in the presence of a semipermeable membrane that was modeled as a porous material similar to silicalite. We studied the effects of the membrane structure and porosity on the reaction species permeability by considering three different membrane models. We also studied the effects of an imposed pressure gradient across the membrane on the mass flux of the reaction species. Conversion of syngas (H2/CO) increased significantly in all the nanoscale membrane reactor models considered. A brief discussion of further potential applications is also presented. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The radiative decay of these transitions, following pulsed laser excitation of the GaN host, is monitored by a grating spectrometer and photomultiplier tube detector system. In addition to these two radiative energy transfer pathways within Eu3+, the data reveal two nonradiative energy transfer paths between Eu3+ and the host GaN. Decay constants for the relaxation processes are extracted from the data using a numerically solved rate equation model. Although the dominant radiative relaxation processes decayed with a temperature insensitive decay constant of 166 μs, a prominent role for nonradiative transfer between Eu3+ and impurities within the GaN host was deduced above 180 K. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Increasingly, as researchers look to apply FD-NMR to practical problems, observing isotopes with a small γ is becoming necessary. The small γ of these isotopes places severe restrictions on the radio frequency field strength necessary to flip the sample spins at practical cantilever frequencies by adiabatic rapid passage. These restrictions led us to investigate the feasibility of observing FD-NMR by flipping sample spins at a rate well below the cantilever frequency. In this article we show that there is no increase in thermomechanical force noise in off-cantilever-resonance FD-NMR relative to on-cantilever-resonance work. Further, we show that working off-cantilever resonance can reduce artifacts and decrease data acquisition time. The major disadvantage to working off-cantilever resonance—reduced cantilever response—increases the importance of low noise detection of cantilever oscillation. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Below 850 °C, the data are consistent with release of hydrogen from a Mg complex and corroborate the initial assignment of the EPR signal to the p-type acceptor. However, the Mg-related EPR signal is permanently quenched for anneals above 850 °C suggesting that additional point defects are created during high temperature treatment. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The results are in near agreement with each other; the small difference is attributed to the hysteresis effect associated with the direct heating process. The values of the melting temperature T[sub m] computed by using the intermolecular interaction potential of Sorescu et al. [J. Phys. Chem. B 104, 8406 (2000)] are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data at various values of pressure ranging from 1 atm to 30 kbar. The computed values of the melting temperature satisfy the Simon–Glatzel equation P(kbar)=aT[sub m][sup b]+c, where a=1.597×10[sup -5], b=2.322, c=-6.74, and T[sub m] is in kelvin. A comparison of computed T[sub m] with and without the presence of molecular vibrations reveals that T[sub m] is insensitive to the intramolecular interaction term of the potential energy function, but depends strongly on the intermolecular interactions, particularly the Coulombic term (i.e., the partial charges on atoms). © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

The relationship between shock velocity (U[sub s]) and particle velocity (U[sub p]) is expressed by a straight line: U[sub s](km/s)=8.08+0.761U[sub p](km/s). Although there is no evidence of phase transition in the data, the determined Hugoniot of AlON has been compared with those of oxide spinels such as MgAl[sub 2]O[sub 4] and Fe[sub 3]O[sub 4]. We discuss the systematics of high pressure phase transitions of spinels that indicate a phase transition to CaTi[sub 2]O[sub 4]-type phases. The phase transition to CaTi[sub 2]O[sub 4]-type structures implies that the recently discovered Si[sub 3]N[sub 4] spinel also may be transformed into a CaTi[sub 2]O[sub 4]-type phase with increasing pressure. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

After implantation and annealing at 1000 °C, only impurity transitions at ∼2.9 and 3.9 eV and no band-edge photoluminescence could be observed in all the samples. X-ray diffraction did not detect any peaks associated with second phase formation. Room-temperature hysteresis loops were obtained for Co-implanted n-type AlGaN, while there was no convincing evidence for ferromagnetism in the Mn- or Cr-implanted n-AlGaN. By sharp contrast, Mn implantation in p-AlGaN did produce ferromagnetic behavior and 300 K hysteresis. Both carrier type and crystalline quality can influence the resulting magnetic properties. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Journal of Applied Physics JF - Journal of Applied Physics Y1 - 2003/09//9/1/2003 VL - 94 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2895 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00218979 AB - Electrical and optical properties of undoped n-ZnO crystals implanted with 50 keV protons with doses from 5×10[sup 13] to 5×10[sup 15] cm[sup -2] are reported. Proton implantation leads to a decrease of the carrier concentration in the near-surface region, but at the end of the proton range shallow donors are observed whose concentration tracks the implant dose and that we attribute to hydrogen donors. Three deep electron traps with apparent activation energies of 0.55, 0.75, and 0.9 eV are introduced by proton implantation. The 0.9 eV traps have been observed through the increased thermal stability of the Schottky diodes prepared on heavily implanted n-ZnO compared to unimplanted or lightly implanted samples. In addition, hole traps located 0.16 eV above the valence band edge were introduced by implantation. Proton implantation also led to the formation of persistent-photocapacitance-active defects and to considerable decrease in the intensity of the band edge luminescence and in the value of the photocurrent of the Au/n-ZnO Schottky diodes. When compared with other wide-band gap materials, such as GaN, the recombination properties of n-ZnO are shown to be more resistant to deterioration upon proton implantation. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Band-edge photoluminescence intensity at ∼6 eV was significantly reduced by the implant process and was not restored by 950 °C annealing. A peak was observed at 5.89 eV in all the implanted samples. Impurity transitions at 3.0 and 4.3 eV were observed both in implanted and unimplanted AlN. X-ray diffraction showed good crystal quality for the 950 °C annealed implanted samples, with no ferromagnetic second phases detected. The Cr- and Co-implanted AlN showed hysteresis present at 300 K from magnetometry measurements, while the Mn-implanted samples showed clear loops up to ∼100 K. The coercive field was <250 Oe in all cases.

An exponential line-shape of the absorption tail in HgCdTe is identified by IPE fittings of the near-threshold quantum yield spectra. The reduction of quantum yield (at higher photon energy) below the fitting value is explained as a result of carrier-phonon scatterings. In addition, the obtained bias independence of the IPE threshold indicates a negligible electron barrier at the heterojunction interface.

However, the best cathode for rechargeable Mg battery was based on high molecular weight MgxMo3S4, thus rendering full cell energetically uncompetitive. To increase energy density, high capacity cathode material like sulfur is proposed. However, to date, only limited work has been reported on Mg/S system, all plagued by poor reversibility attributed to the formation of electrochemically inactive MgSx species. Here, we report a new strategy, based on the effect of Li+ in activating MgSx species, to conjugate a dendrite-free Mg anode with a reversible polysulfide cathode and present a truly reversible Mg/S battery with capacity up to 1000 mAh/gs for more than 30 cycles. Mechanistic insights supported by spectroscopic and microscopic characterization strongly suggest that the reversibility arises from chemical reactivation of MgSx by Li+.

This result provides the mesoscopic equivalent of the fundamental cost of refrigeration, sets the minimum power consumption of mesoscopic devices that operate out of equilibrium, and allows one to calculate the efficiency of any control protocol, whether it be open-loop or feedback control. As examples, we calculate the energy cost of maintaining a qubit in the ground state and the efficiency of resolved-sideband cooling of ano-mechanical resonators, and discuss the energy cost of quantum information processing.

JO - Surface & Coatings Technology JF - Surface & Coatings Technology Y1 - 2015/09/15/ VL - 277 M3 - Article SP - 136 EP - 143 SN - 02578972 AB - NbC x N 1− x layers were deposited on MgO(001) by reactive magnetron co-sputtering from Nb and graphite targets in 5 mTorr pure N 2 at T s = 600–1000 °C. The anion-to-Nb ratio of 1.09 ± 0.05 is independent of T s and indicates a nearly stoichiometric rock–salt structure Nb(N,C) solid solution. In contrast, the C-to-N ratio increases from 0.20–0.59 for T s = 600–1000 °C, which is attributed to a low C sticking probability at high N surface coverage at low T s . Layers grown at T s ≥ 700 °C are epitaxial single-crystals with a cube-on-cube relationship to the substrate, (001) NbCN ||(001) MgO and [100] NbCN ||[100] MgO , as determined from X-ray diffraction θ –2 θ and ϕ -scans. Reciprocal space mapping on a NbC 0.37 N 0.63 layer deposited at T s = 1000 °C indicates an in-plane compressive strain of − 0.4% and a relaxed lattice constant of 4.409 ± 0.009 Å. The lattice constant of NbC x N 1− x increases with x , consistent with a linear increase predicted by first-principles density functional calculations. The calculated bulk modulus, 307 GPa for NbN and 300 GPa for NbC, is nearly independent of x . Similarly, c 11 increases slightly from 641 to 666 GPa, but c 12 decreases considerably from 140 to 117 GPa, and c 44 more than doubles from 78 to 171 GPa as x increases from 0 to 1, indicating a transition from ductile NbN to brittle NbC. This also results in an increase in the predicted isotropic elastic modulus from 335 to 504 GPa, which is in good agreement with the measured 350 ± 12 GPa for NbC x N 1− x (001) with x = 0.19–0.31. The hardness H = 22 ± 2 GPa of epitaxial NbC x N 1− x layers is nearly independent of x = 0.19–0.37 and T s = 700–1000 °C, but is reduced to H = 18.2 ± 0.8 GPa for the nanocrystalline layer deposited at T s = 600 °C. The electrical resistivity decreases strongly with increasing T s < 800 °C, due to increasing crystalline quality, and is 262 ± 21 μΩ-cm at room temperature and 299 ± 22 μΩ-cm at 77 K for T s ≥ 800 °C, indicating weak carrier localization due to the random distribution of C atoms on anion sites.

JO - Geochemical Transactions JF - Geochemical Transactions Y1 - 2015/09/16/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 14674866 AB - Background: Manganese-oxides are one of the most important minerals in soil due to their widespread distribution and high reactivity. Despite their invaluable role in cycling many redox sensitive elements, numerous unknowns remain about the reactivity of different manganese-oxide minerals under varying conditions in natural systems. By altering temperature, pH, and concentration of arsenite we were able to determine how manganese-oxide reactivity changes with simulated environmental conditions. The interaction between manganese-oxides and arsenic is particularly important because manganese can oxidize mobile and toxic arsenite into more easily sorbed and less toxic arsenate. This redox reaction is essential in understanding how to address the global issue of arsenic contamination in drinking water. Results: The reactivity of manganese-oxides in ascending order is random stacked birnessite, hexagonal birnessite, biogenic manganese-oxide, acid birnessite, and δ-MnO2. Increasing temperature raised the rate of oxidation. pH had a variable effect on the production of arsenate and mainly impacted the sorption of arsenate on δ-MnO2, which decreased with increasing pH. Acid birnessite oxidized the most arsenic at alkaline and acidic pHs, with decreased reactivity towards neutral pH. The δ-MnO2 showed a decline in reactivity with increasing arsenite concentration, while the acid birnessite had greater oxidation capacity under higher concentrations of arsenite. The batch reactions used in this study quantify the impact of environmental variances on different manganese-oxides' reactivity and provide insight to their roles in governing chemical cycles in the Critical Zone. Conclusions: The reactivity of manganese-oxides investigated was closely linked to each mineral's crystallinity, surface area, and presence of vacancy sites. δ-MnO2 and acid birnessite are thought to be synthetic representatives of naturally occurring biogenic manganese-oxides; however, the biogenic manganese-oxide exhibited a lag time in oxidation compared to these two minerals. Reactivity was clearly linked to temperature, which provides important information on how these minerals react in the subsurface environment. The pH affected oxidation rate, which is essential in understanding how manganese-oxides react differently in the environment and their potential role in remediating contaminated areas. Moreover, the contrasting oxidative capacity of seemingly similar manganese-oxides under varying arsenite concentrations reinforces the importance of each manganese-oxide mineral's unique properties.

T1 - Anomalous structural dynamics in liquid Al80Cu20: An ab initio molecular dynamics study. JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2015/09/15/ VL - 97 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 85 SN - 13596454 AB - In this work, the structural dynamics of liquid Al 80 Cu 20 is systematically investigated in terms of the evolution of its atomic structure, diffusivity, viscosity and fragility through ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. In addition to using pair correlation functions and coordination numbers, the various local ordered clusters are characterized comprehensively by Honeycutt-Anderson bond pairs and Voronoi polyhedra. Compared to the self diffusivity of pure liquid Cu, the tracer diffusion coefficients of Cu in liquid Al 80 Cu 20 are increased, in agreement with the results measured by quasielastic neutron-scattering (QENS). Although the interdiffusion coefficients predicted by Darken’s equation match well to those obtained from the viscosity measurements via the Stokes-Einstein relation, they are smaller than those measured by QENS or X-ray radiography, indicative of an anomalous nature of the structural dynamics, dominated by the local ordered clusters in liquid Al 80 Cu 20 . Furthermore, Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann fitting results indicate that the liquid Al 80 Cu 20 can be classified into a strong liquid. The deformation electron density shows that the intrinsic tetrahedral-type bonds in FCC Al and Cu are transformed into an amorphous type in liquid Al 80 Cu 20 . The present work provides insights into the understanding of structural dynamics and the kinetic properties of such metallic melts.

Experiments have shown that cross-linked poly(dicyclopentadiene) (pDCPD) networks provide similar strength but superior fracture toughness relative to commonly-used network chemistries like epoxy. To better understand pDCPD, we use atomistic molecular dynamics to study the properties of pDCPD networks across the glass transition as a function of molecular weight between cross-links. Moreover, we identify molecular mechanisms that potentially control mechanical and transport properties. The alpha-relaxation (the glass transition) is linked to intra-chain motions and large-scale segmental motions, while sub- T g relaxations are linked with more localized motions.

JO - Electrochimica Acta JF - Electrochimica Acta Y1 - 2015/09/10/ VL - 176 M3 - Article SP - 784 EP - 789 SN - 00134686 AB - The redox mechanism of micro-sized FeS 2 particles in a rechargeable lithium battery is studied by galvanostatic cycling and ac-impedance analysis. It is shown that FeS 2 is irreversibly reduced on the first discharge, turning Li/FeS 2 cell into a combination of Li/FeS and Li/S chemistries, as suggested by two distinct discharge plateaus at ∼1.5 and 2.0 V, respectively. The first discharge consists of an irreversible conversion of FeS 2 to Li 2 FeS 2 intermediate and its subsequent reduction to metallic Fe and Li 2 S. The first discharge suffers an initial voltage delay, suggesting that the discharge progresses in a thermodynamic non-equilibrium condition. The initial voltage delay can be attributed to the large grain boundary resistance (GBR) of pristine FeS 2 particles, which impedes the nucleation of a new solid Li 2 FeS 2 phase causing high polarization. Ac-impedance spectra of the FeS 2 cathode are composed of a semicircle and a straight sloping line, representative of an electrode reaction resistance (R er ) and a Li + adsorption impedance, respectively. The R er is found to decrease progressively during the first discharge and reaches a plateau when the cell is charged above 2.5 V vs. Li/Li + , being consistent with the model that FeS 2 is irreversibly reduced during the first discharge and that the Li 2 S/Li 2 S n redox couple is formed in recharge. It is indicated that Li/FeS 2 batteries face the same problems as Li/S batteries, such as the dissolution of lithium polysulfide, the formation of a redox shuttle, and the loss of sulfur active material.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2015/09/08/ VL - 54 IS - 35 M3 - Article SP - 5502 EP - 5512 SN - 00062960 AB - The V-type organophosphorus nerve agents are among the most hazardous compounds known. Previous efforts to evolve the bacterial enzyme phosphotriesterase (PTE) for the hydrolytic decontamination of VX resulted in the identification of the variant L7ep-3a, which has a kcat value more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of wild-type PTE for the hydrolysis of VX. Because of the relatively small size of the O-ethyl, methylphosphonate center in VX, stereoselectivity is not a major concern. However, the Russian V-agent, VR, contains a larger O-isobutyl, methylphosphonate center, making stereoselectivity a significant issue since the SP-enantiomer is expected to be significantly more toxic than the RP-enantiomer. The three-dimensional structure of the L7ep-3a variant was determined to a resolution of 2.01 Å (PDB id: 4ZST). The active site of the L7ep-3a mutant has revealed a network of hydrogen bonding interactions between Asp-301, Tyr-257, Gln-254, and the hydroxide that bridges the two metal ions. A series of new analogues that mimic VX and VR has helped to identify critical structural features for the development of new enzyme variants that are further enhanced for the catalytic detoxification of VR and VX. The best of these mutants has been shown to have a reversed stereochemical preference for the hydrolysis of VR-chiral center analogues. This mutant hydrolyzes the two enantiomers of VR 160- and 600-fold faster than wild-type PTE hydrolyzes the SP-enantiomer of VR.

The sandwich is studied for microstructure and compressive properties at quasi-static and high strain rates. Under quasi-static compressive conditions, specimens were tested in the flatwise and edgewise orientations. The compressive strength, yield strength and plateau stress were higher in the flatwise orientation. Furthermore, both orientations for the sandwich composites showed a higher specific compressive strength and specific yield strength than the foam core alone. Failure initiated in the particles in the flatwise orientation, but in the carbon fabrics in the edgewise orientation. The results show that the fabric had a reinforcing effect under quasi-static conditions. The high strain rate (HSR) characterization was conducted in the strain rate range 525–845 s −1 using a split-Hopkinson pressure bar set-up equipped with a high speed image acquisition system. Within this strain rate range, the compressive strength of the sandwich is similar to that of the syntactic foam core alone. Upon review, the syntactic foam core metal matrix sandwich outperforms most of the syntactic foams in terms of energy absorption and compressive strength at comparable density levels.

JO - Religions JF - Religions Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 6 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1033 EP - 1047 SN - 20771444 AB - Although most scholars agree that in the last couple of decades, religious fundamentalism has become the dominant ideological feature in the landscape of modern terrorism, many prefer to ignore the fact that this is not a development which is restricted to the Islamic world, and that other religious traditions have also experienced growth in groups which prefer to use violent strategies to promote their sacred visions. The current chapter strives to fill this gap by analyzing the emergence of violent religious groups in two distinct, non-Islamic, religious traditions. At first glance, the Christian Identity and the Religious-Zionist movements have very little in common. However, both movements served as a breeding ground for the emergence of violent fundamentalist groups aspiring to facilitate an apocalyptic/redemption scenario by engaging in illegal violent campaigns. Moreover, in both cases, the role of spiritual leaders was crucial in shaping the radicalization of the groups and their target selection, and the violence had a clear symbolic narrative. In other words, for the members of these violent groups, the violence served a clear role in the mobilization of potential supporters, and the branding and dissemination of the movement's ideology. Finally, while in general, terrorism is perceived as the weapon of the weak, in these two cases it was perpetrated by individuals/groups affiliated to communities belonging to the dominant religious framework in their respective polities (i.e., the Religious-Zionist and Christian Identity movements are perceived by their members as branches of Judaism and Christianity). Hence, by utilizing a comparative framework, the article will not just analyze the violent manifestations that emerged from these two movements, but also try to identify the unique factors that characterize and facilitate the emergence of religious groups within religious communities belonging to the dominant religious tradition in their societies.

JO - Thin Solid Films JF - Thin Solid Films Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 590 M3 - Article SP - 276 EP - 283 SN - 00406090 AB - Tungsten nitride layers, 1.45-μm-thick, were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on MgO(001), MgO(111), and Al 2 O 3 (0001) in 20 mTorr N 2 at 700 °C. X-ray diffraction ω -2 θ scans, ω -rocking curves, φ scans, and reciprocal space maps show that all layers exhibit a cubic rock salt structure, independent of their N-to-W ratio which ranges from x = 0.83–0.93, as determined by energy dispersive and photoelectron spectroscopies. Growth on MgO(001) leads to an epitaxial WN(001) layer which contains a small fraction of misoriented grains, WN(111)/MgO(111) is an orientation- and phase-pure single-crystal, and WN/Al 2 O 3 (0001) exhibits a 111-preferred orientation containing misoriented cubic WN grains as well as N-deficient BCC W. Layers on MgO(001) and MgO(111) with x = 0.92 and 0.83 have relaxed lattice constants of 4.214 ± 0.005 and 4.201 ± 0.031 Å, respectively, indicating a decreasing lattice constant with an increasing N-vacancy concentration. Nanoindentation provides hardness values of 9.8 ± 2.2, 12.5 ± 1.0, and 10.3 ± 0.4 GPa, and elastic moduli of 240 ± 40, 257 ± 13, and 242 ± 10 GPa for layers grown on MgO(001), MgO(111), and Al 2 O 3 (0001), respectively. Brillouin spectroscopy measurements yield shear moduli of 120 ± 2 GPa, 114 ± 2 GPa and 108 ± 2 GPa for WN on MgO(001), MgO(111) and Al 2 O 3 (0001), respectively, suggesting a WN elastic anisotropy factor of 1.6 ± 0.3, consistent with the indentation results. The combined analysis of the epitaxial WN(001) and WN(111) layers indicate Hill's elastic and shear moduli for cubic WN of 251 ± 17 and 99 ± 8 GPa, respectively. The resistivity of WN(111)/MgO(111) is 1.9 × 10 − 5 and 2.2 × 10 − 5 Ω-m at room temperature and 77 K, respectively, indicating weak carrier localization. The room temperature resistivities are 16% and 42% lower for WN/MgO(001) and WN/Al 2 O 3 (0001), suggesting a resistivity decrease with decreasing crystalline quality and phase purity.

In particular, states have been studied above the proton threshold relevant for burning in the 25Al(p,γ)26Si reaction in novae. This reaction influences the amount of 26Al injected into the interstellar medium by novae, which contributes to the overall flux of cosmic γ-ray emission from 26Al observed in satellite missions. The present results point strongly to the existence of a 0+ state at an excitation energy of 5890 keV lying within the Gamow burning window, which raises questions about the existence and properties of another, higher-lying state reported in previous experimental work. The existence of two such states within this excitation energy region cannot be understood within the framework of sd-shell-model calculations.

The auto-ignition quality of different fuels has been rated by its cetane number (CN) determined in the cooperative fuel research engine, according to ASTM D613. More recently, the ignition quality tester (IQT), a constant volume vessel, has been used to determine the derived cetane number (DCN) to avoid the elaborate, time consuming, and costly engine tests, according to ASTM D6890. The ignition delay (ID) period in these two standard tests and many investigations has been considered to be the time period between start of injection (SOI) and start of combustion (SOC). The ID values determined in different investigations can vary due to differences in instrumentation and definitions. This paper examines the different definitions and the parameters that effect ID period. In addition, the activation energy dependence on the ID definition is investigated. Furthermore, results of an experimental investigation in a single-cylinder research diesel engine will be presented, while the charge density is kept constant during the ID period. The global activation energy is determined and its sensitivity to the charge temperature is examined.

JO - Journal of the Mechanics & Physics of Solids JF - Journal of the Mechanics & Physics of Solids Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 82 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 31 SN - 00225096 AB - The remarkable properties of graphene, including unusually high mechanical strength and stiffness, have been well-documented. In this paper, we combine an analytical solution for ballistic impact into a thin isotropic membrane, with ab initio density functional theory calculations for graphene under uniaxial tension, to predict the penetration resistance of multi-layer graphene membranes. The calculations show that continuous graphene membranes could enable ballistic barriers of extraordinary performance, enabling resistance to penetration at masses up to 100× lighter than existing state-of-the-art barrier materials. The very high elastic wave speed and strain energy to failure are the major drivers of this increase in performance. However, the in-plane mechanical isotropy of graphene, as compared to conventional orthotropic woven textiles, also contributes significantly to the efficiency of graphene as a barrier material. This result suggests that, for barrier applications, isotropic membranes composed of covalently bonded two-dimensional molecular networks could provide distinct advantages over fiber-based textiles derived from linear polymers.

Health questionnaires included the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), PTSD Checklist-Military Version (PCL-M), Zung Depression and Anxiety Scales (ZDS; ZAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Alcohol Use and Dependency Identification Test (AUDIT). Soldiers with a history of multiple concussions (i.e., three or more concussions) had significantly greater post-concussive symptom scores compared with those with zero ( d=1.83, large effect), one ( d=0.64, medium effect), and two ( d=0.64, medium effect) prior concussions. Although the group with three or more concussions also reported more traumatic stress symptoms, the results revealed that traumatic stress was a mediator between concussions and post-concussive symptom severity. There were no significant differences on neurocognitive testing between the number of concussions. These results add to the accumulating evidence suggesting that most individuals recover from one or two prior concussions, but there is a greater risk for ongoing symptoms if one exceeds this number of injuries.

From brides to bar girls to crass film tropes of Vietnamese sex workers, women occupy a prominent place in the war's memory. At the time, however, the media and u.s. government officials portrayed sex as a subtext to the larger conflict. From the outset, officials on all sides of the negotiating table struggled over how to contain the diverse impacts of the relationships on health, security, and morale. Prostitution played a central role in the debate. u.s. officials attempted to discount the significance of their impact on foreign relations and warfare, but social relationships indeed had an impact on how Americans engaged Saigon's leaders. While scholars typically have shown the United States as the dominant power in Vietnam, sexuality became a somewhat level playing field where both governments feared the repercussions of limiting intercultural intimacy as much as they feared letting it continue. At first, the Saigon government enacted strict laws and attempted to prosecute violators, but never committed to eradication. By the war's height u.s. officials adopted rigorous new programs which led to an Americanization of sexual and social policies regarding prostitution in Vietnam.

In this study, nanoindentation measurements were spatially coupled to images with scanning electron microscopy and chemical composition using energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The study focused on the microstructure and chemical composition of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) for reinforcing steel embedded in a geopolymer mortar. The ITZ was analyzed for uncoated steel and steel coated with a reactive porcelain enamel that improves bonding and corrosion resistance. Results indicate that a more gradual transition of mechanical properties and chemical composition for the coated steel coupled with improved integration to the mortar correlates to increased bond strength measured in macroscale experiments.

JO - Composites: Part B, Engineering JF - Composites: Part B, Engineering Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 78 M3 - Article SP - 86 EP - 94 SN - 13598368 AB - This paper presents the use of a novel through-transmission ultrasonic (TTU) Acoustography non-destructive evaluation (NDE) method to detect foreign object inclusion (FOI) defects in graphite epoxy composite laminates. The study employed three different composite test standards with varied size FOI defects embedded at varying depth within the composite laminates. For validation, Acoustography results were directly compared with conventional immersion TTU testing and infrared thermography (IRT) methods. From results obtained, it was demonstrated that the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements for Acoustography were more than 6:1 and were in good correlation with immersion TTU and IRT results. The defect sizing ability of TTU Acoustography for FOI defects in graphite epoxy composite laminates were also in strong correlation with immersion TTU and IRT techniques. Finally, for the three laboratory systems employed in this study, typical panel TTU Acoustography inspection time was just about three minutes to scan a 300 mm × 300 mm (11.8″ × 11.8″) area, which was more than three times faster compared to IRT and sixty times faster to conventional immersion TTU C-Scan techniques. This is a very significant finding for the reason that Acoustography is being developed as a faster, more efficient, and affordable alternative to traditional ultrasonic inspection systems for composite manufacturing quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) and field maintenance of composite structure applications.

We used an automated radio telemetry system to quantify Ornate Box Turtle ( Terrapene ornata) activity patterns for two years in northern Illinois. Continuously collected activity data were paired with meteorological data collected from the site to determine factors influencing turtle behavior. Temperature, relative humidity, rain, year, month, time of day, and reproductive status affected activity levels. Increased activity levels corresponded with rain events, and males were generally more active than females, especially during spring and late summer. Overall, turtles were less active during an uncharacteristically warm and dry year compared to a year with conditions that were closer to the long-term average. Bimodal daily activity patterns have been reported in more southerly populations, and we found similar patterns near the species' northern range limit, indicating that thermal constraints may limit activity of this species across its range. Activity comparisons between a year with normal meteorological conditions and an abnormally warm and dry year provide insight to the effect that further onset of climate change may have on the activity of Ornate Box Turtles.

The US does this inorder to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat terrorist organizations (Al Qaeda, Taliban, Haqqani, al-Shabaab, ISIL, and their affiliates). In some of these attacks, states have given their expressed (e.g., Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen) or tacit (e.g., Pakistan) consent to the US to conduct these drone strikes. However, some states do not consent to the US conducting kinetic drone strikes with in their territory. In these cases, it seems prima facie reasonable to suggest that these acts or use of force are unjustified because they violate the political sovereignty and territorial integrity of a non-consenting state. Furthermore, the US is not at war with these other states so there is no leeway in suggesting that a state has a right to conduct these operations against another state. As it currently stands, a ttempting to use jus ad bellum (justice of war) criteria to discern a state's moral justification for implementing force short of war (drone strikes) is not only unhelpful but fails to provide a reasonable framework. The use of armed drones is a recent phenomena that will continue to evolve, and w ith this comes a need for establishing a set of moral guidelines on a state's implementation of them. In an attempt to remedy this shortcoming, we need to look at drone strikes not as an act of war but as an actor force short of war. I want to make the case that drone strikes can be morally justifie dusing the Responsibility to Protect norms. That is, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) norms should be the gu iding norms with regard to jusadvim (the just use of force short of war). Incorporating the R2P norms into a jus ad vim account provides a framework of when states can morally resort to the use of force.

JO - Toxins JF - Toxins Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 7 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 3405 EP - 3423 SN - 20726651 AB - Existing antibodies (Abs) used to treat botulism cannot enter the cytosol of neurons and bind to botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) at its site of action, and thus cannot reverse paralysis. However, Abs targeting the proteolytic domain of the toxin could inhibit the proteolytic activity of the toxin intracellularly and potentially reverse intoxication, if they could be delivered intracellularly. As such, antibodies that neutralize toxin activity could serve as potent inhibitory cargos for therapeutic antitoxins against botulism. BoNT serotype B (BoNT/B) contains a zinc endopeptidase light chain (LC) domain that cleaves synaoptobrevin-2, a SNARE protein responsible for vesicle fusion and acetylcholine vesicle release. To generate monoclonal Abs (mAbs) that could reverse paralysis, we targeted the protease domain for Ab generation. Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) libraries from immunized mice or humans were displayed on yeast, and 19 unique BoNT/B LC-specific mAbs isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of these mAbs for BoNT/B LC ranged from 0.24 nM to 14.3 nM (mean KD 3.27 nM). Eleven mAbs inhibited BoNT/B LC proteolytic activity. The fine epitopes of selected mAbs were identified by alanine-scanning mutagenesis, revealing that inhibitory mAbs bound near the active site, substrate-binding site or the extended substrate-binding site. The results provide mAbs that could prove useful for intracellular reversal of paralysis and identify epitopes that could be targeted by small molecules inhibitors.

Using hierarchical mixed model methods, we report trends in counts from 11 729 surveys along 844 routes in 44 states. Nationwide Bald Eagle counts increased 0.6% per yr over the 25-yr period, compared to an estimate of 1.9% per yr from 1986 to 2000. Trend estimates for Bald Eagles were significant ( P ≤ 0.05) and positive in the northeastern and northwestern U.S. (3.9% and 1.1%, respectively), while trend estimates for Bald Eagles were negative ( P ≤ 0.05) in the southwestern U.S. (−2.2%). After accounting for potential biases resulting from temporal and regional differences in surveys, we believe trends reflect post-DDT recovery and subsequent early effects of density-dependent population regulation.

Utilizamos métodos de modelado jerárquicos mixtos y mostramos las tendencias en los conteos de 11 729 censos a lo largo de 844 rutas en 44 estados. Los conteos de H. leucocephalus a lo ancho de la nación se incrementaron un 0.6% por año a lo largo de un periodo de 25 años, comparado con una estima del 1.9% por año desde 1986 hasta el año 2000. Los estimadores de tendencia para H. leucocephalus fueron significativos ( P ≤ 0.05) y positivos en el noreste y noroeste de los Estados Unidos (3.9% y 1.1%, respectivamente), mientras que los estimadores de tendencia para H. leucocephalus fueron negativos ( P ≤ 0.05) en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos (−2.2%). Considerando los sesgos potenciales en los censos que resultan de las diferencias temporales y regionales, creemos que las tendencias reflejan la recuperación post-DDT y los efectos tempranos subsecuentes de una regulación de la población denso-dependiente.

Effect of WBGT Index Measurement Location on Heat Stress Category Classification. JO - Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise JF - Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 47 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1958 EP - 1964 SN - 01959131 AB - Purpose: This study aimed to compare WBGT measurements at three locations along the Boston Marathon race course and compare WBGT estimates for meteorological stations and 72-h advanced WBGT forecasts. Methods: WBGT was measured hourly from 1000 to 1400 h at approximately 7 km, approximately 18 km, and approximately 30 km on the Boston Marathon race course. Simultaneous WBGT estimates were made for two meteorological stations southeast of the course via a commercial online system, which also provided 72-h advanced forecasts. Results: The measurement difference (mean ± SD) among course locations was 0.2°C ± 1.8°C WBGT (ANOVA, P > 0.05). The difference between course and stations was 1.9°C ± 2.4°C WBGT (/-test, P < 0.05). Station values underestimated (n = 98) or overestimated (n = 13) course values by >3°C WBGT (>0.5 flag category) in 111 of 245 paired comparisons (45%). Higher black globe and lower wet bulb temperatures explained over- and underestimates, respectively. Significant underestimates ofWBGT resulted in misclassification of green (labeled white) and black (labeled red) course flag categories (x2 , P < 0.05). Forecast data significantly underestimated red (labeled amber) and black (labeled red) course flag categories. Conclusions: Differences in WBGT index along 23 km of the Boston Marathon race route can be small enough to warrant single measurements. However, significant misclassification of flag categories occurred using WBGT estimates for meteorological stations; thus, local measurements are preferred. If the relation between station WBGT forecasts and the race sites can be established, the forecast WBGT values could be corrected to give advanced warning of approximate flag conditions. Similar work is proposed for other venues to improve heat stress monitoring.

JO - Journal of Energy Engineering JF - Journal of Energy Engineering Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 141 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 07339402 AB - The objective of this paper is to provide a review of in-stream hydrokinetic power, which is defined as electric power generated by devices capturing the energy of naturally flowing water--stream, tidal, or open ocean flows--without impounding the water. North America has significant in-stream energy resources, and hydrokinetic electric power technologies to harness those resources have the potential to make a significant contribution to U.S. electricity needs by adding as much as 120 TWh=year from rivers alone to the present hydroelectric power generation capacity. Additionally, tidal and ocean current resources in the U.S. respectively contain 438 TWh=year and 163 TWh=year of extractable power. Among their attractive features, in-stream hydrokinetic operations do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions or other air pollution and have less visual impact than wind turbines. Since these systems do no utilize dams the way traditional hydropower systems typically do, their impact on the environment will differ, and a small but growing number of studies support conclusions regarding those impacts. Potential environmental impacts include altered water quality, altered sediment deposition, altered habitats, direct impact on biota, and navigability of waterways.

Advanced computational aerodynamic and parameter sensitivity analysis techniques were applied. Results indicated that airframe designs that did not consider canard trailing vortex interactions on tail fins suffered from drastically underpredicted stability. Analyses were performed with the canard trailing-edge vortex-tail-fin interactions included to design a new airframe, and the suitability of this design was verified. The aerodynamics of the resulting configuration, as determined from advanced computational techniques, compared within 25% of the predictions (stability underpredicted) using scaled aerodynamic coefficients, suggesting that inclusion of scaled interference effects is a reasonable assumption during the design process.

The elimination of gubernatorial elections in Russia in late 2004 provides a unique opportunity to study public reaction to policies that replaced democratically elected regional leaders with Kremlin appointees, thereby further concentrating power in the hands of the central state while simultaneously reducing the level of democratic accountability in Russian politics. Using a 2007 survey of 1500 Russians, it is possible to observe how key measures of public opinion and regime support were influenced by the elimination of gubernatorial elections. Because the timeline of gubernatorial appointments was determined exogenously based on the expiration of elected incumbent governors' terms, by 2007 some regions had governors who still held electoral mandates, while others had Kremlin appointees with no electoral mandate. This quasi experiment allows us to draw surprising conclusions about whom Russians blame - and do not blame - when power becomes increasingly centralized in the hands of the president.

JO - Food Quality & Preference JF - Food Quality & Preference Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 44 M3 - Article SP - 139 EP - 147 SN - 09503293 AB - The objective of this work was to compare consumer’s liking and perception of meat quality attributes as a function of their familiarity and involvement with fresh meat. Ninety-three meat consumers were classified on the basis of their familiarity with fresh meats. Socio-demographic differences between the clusters were found to relate to gender and age, and high familiarity (HF) consumers showed higher involvement with meat. HF consumers enjoyed consuming meat, and they associated a symbolic value to it. In addition, their liking ratings were higher than those of low familiarity (LF) consumers for both appearance and taste of three specific types of fresh meat over the course of product shelf-life. The perceived risks associated with meat consumption and product choice were similar between groups. Both consumer segments reported that the most important driver of fresh meat purchase is its appearance, while the role of extrinsic cues differed among the groups. The HF group needed more information when choosing meat. Regardless of familiarity level, liking was consistent with beef appearance as affected by storage, but the prediction of experienced sensory quality lacked consistency when the perceived intrinsic cue variation was not associated with meat freshness.

Although the importance of SON is recognized, the chemical nature of SON is not well described mainly because of methodological limitations. The objective of this study was to modify the operationally defined SON fractionation scheme to improve sample processing time. The operationally defined SON pools are amino sugar N, amino acid N, and hydrolyzable unknown N. Modifications to the method included: SON hydrolysis using an electric griddle, use of 0.05 mol L-1 H2SO4 NH3 traps, and use of a forced-air oven during amino acid N deamination. The modified method improved sample throughput by (i) increasing soil extractions from one to 12 samples at a time, (ii) decreasing sample analysis time by using colorimetric methods, and (iii) reducing temperature variability during amino acid N deamination. We estimate that the method modifications save on average 5 h per 12 samples. The modified method was then applied to 10 flooded or drained wetland soils that ranged from 3 to 34 g kg-1 total N (TN). The labile SON pools ranged from 0.06 to 1.29 g kg-1 amino sugar N and 0.74 to 10.5 g kg-1 amino acid N. Amino sugar N linearly increased with soil total C (TC; R2 = 0.60). Amino acid N exponentially increased with TC (R2 = 0.80), suggesting that conditions in wetlands preferentially conserve amino acid N. A decline in amino acid N with drained conditions highlighted the potential loss of TN stored in wetlands, estimated at 50 to 75 Pg.

Based on the use and availability of open-source data, the methodology advanced in this research has the capacity to examine household-level drivers of vulnerability that are rarely accounted for in regional and global indices. A household level vulnerability analysis is conducted for four countries – Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. This research seeks to develop a vulnerability model that can be both applied to vulnerable countries in the East African Rift and offer insight into internal dynamic processes and drivers of vulnerability. The enhanced methodology presented in this paper can assist stakeholders and policy-makers in determining what drives vulnerability at a household level, where vulnerable populations are, and suggest what type of aid to target specific locations to be of greatest benefit.

The microstructure and resultant properties of consolidated materials in solid state processes, such as cold spray, are critically dependent on the feedstock powder. The focus of this paper is the characterization of plasma atomized Ti–6Al–4V powder using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Results indicate that while most powders are martensitic due to high cooling rates, powders can also have an equiaxed cellular or featureless microstructure depending on particle size.

The model is based on complete hydrodynamic equations, and includes effects of viscosity, pressure gradients and thermal transport in the conduction channel of a high electron mobility semiconductor transistor (HEMT). The modulation response was evaluated as a function of modulation frequency f M for a wide range of mobility values. Maximum modulation frequency f MAX was evaluated as a function of channel mobility, with typical values of f MAX in the subterahertz range of frequencies. Our analysis shows that short channel field effect transistors operating in the plasmonic regime can meet all the requirements for applications as terahertz detectors and modulators in ultra high-speed wireless communication circuits.

CNTs were treated for different durations to generate varying amounts of defects and oxidation levels. This was evidenced by increase in BET surface area, D to G ratio and oxygen content with increase in treatment time. Under the given conditions, a treatment time of 40 min was optimum, beyond which the increase in any of these properties as well as in specific capacitance was minimal. The increase in surface area enhanced the double layer capacitance while the oxygenation might lead to pseudocapacitance. Together these make microwave treatment of CNTs an attractive approach to enhance supercapacitor performance.

JO - Brain Research JF - Brain Research Y1 - 2015/08/27/ VL - 1618 M3 - Article SP - 136 EP - 148 SN - 00068993 AB - Exposure to organophosphate (OP) nerve agents, such as sarin, may lead to uncontrolled seizures and irreversible brain injury and neuropathology. In rat studies, a median lethal dose of sarin leads to approximately half of the animals developing seizures. Whereas previous studies analyzed transcriptomic effects associated with seizing sarin-exposed rats, our study focused on the cohort of sarin-exposed rats that did not develop seizures. We analyzed the genomic changes occurring in sarin-exposed, non-seizing rats and compared differentially expressed genes and pathway activation to those of seizing rats. At the earliest time point (0.25 h) and in multiple sarin-sensitive brain regions, defense response genes were commonly expressed in both groups of animals as compared to the control groups. All sarin-exposed animals activated the MAPK signaling pathway, but only the seizing rats activated the apoptotic-associated JNK and p38 MAPK signaling sub-pathway. A unique phenotype of the non-seizing rats was the altered expression levels of genes that generally suppress inflammation or apoptosis. Importantly, the early transcriptional response for inflammation- and apoptosis-related genes in the thalamus showed opposite trends, with significantly down-regulated genes being up-regulated, and vice versa, between the seizing and non-seizing rats. These observations lend support to the hypothesis that regulation of anti-inflammatory genes might be part of an active and sufficient response in the non-seizing group to protect against the onset of seizures. As such, stimulating or activating these responses via pretreatment strategies could boost resilience against nerve agent exposures.

JO - Surface & Coatings Technology JF - Surface & Coatings Technology Y1 - 2015/08/25/ VL - 276 M3 - Article SP - 305 EP - 315 SN - 02578972 AB - This study presents microstructure and mechanical property relationships of cold-sprayed 7075 aluminum during non-isothermal annealing. Microstructure evolution during non-isothermal annealing from room temperature to 450 °C was performed using in-situ heating via a hot-stage transmission electron microscope. Additional characterization was performed using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Grain size, dislocation density, microstrain, lattice parameter, and precipitation phenomena were evaluated as a function of annealing temperature. The results showed that cold spray processing accelerated the precipitation kinetics of strengthening phases in the microstructure, compared to the as-received cold spray powder, but did not affect the overall precipitation sequence. Also, pancaked grain structures, found at particle–particle interfaces within the deposition, were converted, due to recrystallization, to ultrafine-grained structures during annealing. The ultrafine-grained structures experienced limited grain growth during the annealing process. This was attributed to the nucleation of grain boundary precipitates in the as-sprayed material, primarily originating from grain boundary solute segregation present in the cold spray powder. Mechanical properties were evaluated using microhardness testing, after annealing, and correlated with microstructural analysis. When subjected to low temperature annealing (below 370 °C), the cold spray processed material had a lower microhardness than that found in conventional 7075 aluminum subjected to the same thermal treatment, due to the presence of inter-particle porosity in the cold spray microstructure. Annealing at temperatures above 370 °C, however, resulted in an increase in hardness, likely due to a reduction in inter-particle porosity and grain boundary strengthening associated with the retention of an ultrafine grain structure at high temperatures.

Variations in dry thickness of ester-based WPABs as a function of time and pH are consistent with WPAB degrafting via linker hydrolysis catalyzed by mechanical tension in the grafted chains. Sources of tension considered include high σ, as well as swelling and electrostatic repulsion associated with increasing degree of deprotonation (α) of repeat units in the WPAB. Normalized thickness of the WPAB decreases by a maximum amount at intermediate σ between ∼0.05−0.15 chains/nm², implying that contributions to tension by α are counterbalanced by charge regulation in the WPAB at high σ. Amide-based WPABs are more stable up to 264 h incubation, suggesting that commonly used ester-bearing ATRP initiators are more susceptible to hydrolysis over the time scales examined.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/08/18/ VL - 49 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 9532 EP - 9547 SN - 0013936X AB - The unique or enhanced properties of manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) suggest that their use in nanoenabled products will continue to increase. This will result in increased potential for human and environmental exposure to MNs during manufacturing, use, and disposal of nanoenabled products. Scientifically based risk assessment for MNs necessitates the development of reproducible, standardized hazard testing methods such as those provided by the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Currently, there is no comprehensive guidance on how best to address testing issues specific to MN particulate, fibrous, or colloidal properties. This paper summarizes the findings from an expert workshop convened to develop a guidance document that addresses the difficulties encountered when testing MNs using OECD aquatic and sediment test guidelines. Critical components were identified by workshop participants that require specific guidance for MN testing: preparation of dispersions, dose metrics, the importance and challenges associated with maintaining and monitoring exposure levels, and the need for reliable methods to quantify MNs in complex media. To facilitate a scientific advance in the consistency of nanoecotoxicology test results, we identify and discuss critical considerations where expert consensus recommendations were and were not achieved and provide specific research recommendations to resolve issues for which consensus was not reached. This process will enable the development of prescriptive testing guidance for MNs. Critically, we highlight the need to quantify and properly interpret and express exposure during the bioassays used to determine hazard values.

The total energy/force versus strain, strain at fracture, and strain energy release were compared for a homologous series of normal alkanes (ethane to undecane) with generalization to polyethylene. The C C bond distances and C C C bond angles were quantified, and a fragment analysis was performed. Overall, the MEAM and ReaxFF potentials are in reasonable agreement with first-principles data with MEAM matching DFT-calculated lowest energy fragments.

There were no statistically significant differences between blast injury and blunt injury participants in demographic, physical, or psychological health factors, concussive symptoms, or automated and traditional neurocognitive testing scores within 72 h post-injury. In addition, follow-up ANAM scores up to 15 d post-injury were not significantly different (available on 21 blast-injured and 13 blunt-injured subjects). Pre-injury baseline ANAM scores were compared where available, and revealed no statistically significant differences between 22 blast injury and eight blunt injury participants. These findings suggest there are no significant differences between mechanisms of injury during both the acute and subacute periods in neurobehavioral concussion sequelae while deployed in a combat environment. The current study supports the use of sports/mechanical concussion models for early concussion management in the deployed setting and exploration of variability in potential long-term outcomes.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 82 M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 24 SN - 0734743X AB - Metal matrix syntactic foams of very low density (0.97 g/cc) were prepared using silicon carbide hollow particles dispersed in a magnesium alloy (AZ91D) matrix. The composite was evaluated for quasi-static and high strain rate (1330–2300/s) compression and dynamic mechanical properties. The compression test results show that the peak stress and the elastic energy absorbed were strain rate sensitive and the values at high strain rates were up to 1.5 times higher than the quasi-static values. The failure mechanisms of syntactic foams at high strain rates were observed to be failure of the hollow particles, plastic deformation of the matrix and fracture of precipitates that are oriented along the grain boundaries of the alloy. Extensive dynamic mechanical analysis was conducted under the conditions of (a) temperature variation at a constant frequency and (b) frequency variation over a wide range of temperatures to conduct time–temperature superposition (TTS). The damping parameter of the composites was observed to be higher than those of the matrix alloy at all temperatures. The TTS principle allowed extrapolating the material behavior over a wide frequency range from a limited frequency dataset range of 1–100 Hz. Such very low density syntactic foams can be useful in marine vessel and aerospace structures for weight saving. In addition, composites in this density range can directly compete with polymer matrix composites with added advantage of dimensional stability and mechanical property retention at higher temperatures.

HEC-EFM analyses involve: 1) statistical analyses of relationships between hydrology and ecology, 2) hydraulic modeling, and 3) use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Through this process, study teams define existing ecologic conditions, highlight promising restoration sites, and assess alternatives according to predicted ecosystem changes. HEC-EFM has many strengths, most notably it 1) is capable of testing change for many ecological relationships and management scenarios, 2) links ecology with established hydrologic, hydraulic, and GIS tools, and 3) can be applied quickly, inexpensively, and can incorporate expert knowledge. This paper introduces HEC-EFM and describes its use for statistical analyses and habitat mapping. Two examples are provided: Provision of Sacramento splittail minnow spawning habitat, San Joaquin River, California, USA, and cottonwood seedling establishment, Bill Williams River, Arizona, USA.

The waveforms recorded in forest generally show the pulse elongation characteristic of propagation over a highly porous ground surface, with high frequency scattered arrivals superimposed on the basic waveform shape. Waveform analysis conducted to determine ground properties resulted in acoustically determined layer thicknesses of 4-8 cm in summer, within 2 cm of the directly measured thickness of the litter layers. In winter the acoustic thicknesses correlated with the site-specific snow cover depths. Effective flow resistivity values of 50-88 kN s m-4 were derived for the forest sites in summer, while lower values typical for snow were found in winter. Reverberation times (T60) were typically around 2s, but two stands (deciduous and pruned spruce planted on a square grid) had lower values of about 1.2s. One site with a very rough ground surface had very low summer flow resistivity value and also had the longest reverberation time of about 3s. These measurements can provide parameters useful for theoretical predictions of acoustic propagation within forests.

T1 - Increasing Scientific Confidence in Adverse Outcome Pathways: Application of Tailored Bradford-Hill Considerations for Evaluating Weight of Evidence. JO - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP JF - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 72 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 514 EP - 537 SN - 02732300 AB - Systematic consideration of scientific support is a critical element in developing and, ultimately, using adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for various regulatory applications. Though weight of evidence (WoE) analysis has been proposed as a basis for assessment of the maturity and level of confidence in an AOP, methodologies and tools are still being formalized. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Users’ Handbook Supplement to the Guidance Document for Developing and Assessing AOPs (OECD 2014a; hereafter referred to as the OECD AOP Handbook) provides tailored Bradford-Hill (BH) considerations for systematic assessment of confidence in a given AOP. These considerations include (1) biological plausibility and (2) empirical support (dose-response, temporality, and incidence) for Key Event Relationships (KERs), and (3) essentiality of key events (KEs). Here, we test the application of these tailored BH considerations and the guidance outlined in the OECD AOP Handbook using a number of case examples to increase experience in more transparently documenting rationales for assigned levels of confidence to KEs and KERs, and to promote consistency in evaluation within and across AOPs. The major lessons learned from experience are documented, and taken together with the case examples, should contribute to better common understanding of the nature and form of documentation required to increase confidence in the application of AOPs for specific uses. Based on the tailored BH considerations and defining questions, a prototype quantitative model for assessing the WoE of an AOP using tools of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is described. The applicability of the approach is also demonstrated using the case example aromatase inhibition leading to reproductive dysfunction in fish. Following the acquisition of additional experience in the development and assessment of AOPs, further refinement of parameterization of the model through expert elicitation is recommended. Overall, the application of quantitative WoE approaches hold promise to enhance the rigor, transparency and reproducibility for AOP WoE determinations and may play an important role in delineating areas where research would have the greatest impact on improving the overall confidence in the AOP.

High-resolution time-of-flight neutron transmission measurements on highly enriched isotopic metallic samples of 95Mo, 96Mo, 98Mo, and 100Mo were performed in the resonance energy range from 1 to 620keV. The measurements were taken with the newly developed modular 6Li-glass transmission detector positioned at the 100-m experimental flight station. In the unresolved energy region (URR), new comprehensive methods of analysis were developed and validated in order to obtain accurate neutron total cross-section data from the measurement by correcting for background and transmission enhancement effects. Average parameters and fits to the total cross section for 95Mo were obtained using the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model code fitacs, which is currently incorporated into the sammy code. The fits to the experimental data deviate from the current evaluated nuclear data file/B-VII.1 isotopic Mo evaluations by several percent in the URR.

To assess whether these tumors could be the result of a direct mutagenic or genotoxic mode of action, we conducted a GLP-compliant 7-day drinking water study to assess crypt health along the entire length of the duodenum. Mice were exposed to water (vehicle control), 1.4, 21, or 180 ppm Cr(VI) via drinking water for 7 consecutive days. Crypt enterocytes in Swiss roll sections were scored as normal, mitotic, apoptotic, karyorrhectic, or as having micronuclei. A single oral gavage of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide served as a positive control for micronucleus induction. Exposure to 21 and 180 ppm Cr(VI) significantly increased the number of crypt enterocytes. Micronuclei and γ-H2AX immunostaining were not elevated in the crypts of Cr(VI)-treated mice. In contrast, treatment with cyclophosphamide significantly increased numbers of crypt micronuclei and qualitatively increased γ-H2AX immunostaining. Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy revealed the presence of strong Cr fluorescence in duodenal villi, but negligible Cr fluorescence in the crypt compartment. Together, these data indicate that Cr(VI) does not adversely effect the crypt compartment where intestinal stem cells reside, and provide additional evidence that the mode of action for Cr(VI)-induced intestinal cancer in B6C3F1 mice involves chronic villous wounding resulting in compensatory crypt enterocyte hyperplasia.

The simulated environment exposed a LiI(Eu) scintillator crystal to neutrons of discrete energy levels from thermal through 25 MeV, with energy resolution identical to that documented by Mares and Schraube. The shapes of the response functions were found to be in excellent agreement with previous data, but the MCNP6-calculated functions differed consistently from the Mares and Schraube data by a factor of two, which is possibly due to ambiguity within their published methodology. Regardless, a comparison of the response functions calculated from MCNP6 and MCNP4 were assessed as > 99\% significant using a chi-squared test with 25 degrees of freedom.

JO - Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience JF - Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 SN - 16625102 AB - Elongation of nerve fibers intuitively occurs throughout mammalian development, and is synchronized with expansion of the growing body. While most tissue systems enlarge through mitosis and differentiation, elongation of nerve fibers is remarkably unique. The emerging paradigm suggests that axons undergo stretch as contiguous tissues enlarge between the proximal and distal segments of spanning nerve fibers. While stretch is distinct from growth, tension is a known stimulus which regulates the growth of axons. Here, we hypothesized that the axon stretch-growth process may be a natural form of injury, whereby regenerative processes fortify elongating axons in order to prevent disconnection. Harnessing the live imaging capability of our axon stretch-growth bioreactors, we assessed neurons both during and following stretch for biomarkers associated with injury. Utilizing whole-cell patch clamp recording, we found no evidence of changes in spontaneous action potential activity or degradation of elicited action potentials during real-time axon stretch at strains of up to 18% applied over 5 min. Unlike traumatic axonal injury, functional calcium imaging of the soma revealed no shifts in free intracellular calcium during axon stretch. Finally, the cross-sectional areas of nuclei and cytoplasms were normal, with no evidence of chromatolysis following week-long stretch-growth limited to the lower of 25% strain or 3mm total daily stretch. The neuronal growth cascade coupled to stretch was concluded to be independent of the changes in membrane potential, action potential generation, or calcium flux associated with traumatic injury. While axon stretch-growth is likely to share overlap with regenerative processes, we conclude that developmental stretch is a distinct stimulus from traumatic axon injury.

In essence, optical trapping helps to overcome the limitation imposed by the relative inefficiency of the Raman scattering process. This allows Raman spectroscopy to be applied to individual biological particles in air and in liquid, providing the potential for particle identification with high specificity, longitudinal studies of changes in particle composition, and characterization of the heterogeneity of individual particles in a population. In this review, we introduce the techniques used to integrate Raman spectroscopy with optical trapping in order to study individual biological particles in liquid and air. We then provide an overview of some of the most promising applications of this technique, highlighting the unique types of measurements enabled by the combination of Raman spectroscopy with optical trapping. Finally, we present a brief discussion of future research directions in the field.

For example, locating an item or a person of interest requires visual search, and firing the weapon (or withholding a trigger squeeze) involves response execution (or inhibition). The present study used a simulated shooting environment to establish a relationship between a particular cognitive ability and a critical shooting error—response inhibition and firing on civilians, respectively. Individual-difference measures demonstrated, perhaps counterintuitively, that simulated civilian casualties were not related to motor impulsivity (i.e., an itchy trigger finger) but rather to an individual’s cognitive ability to withhold an already initiated response (i.e., an itchy brain). Furthermore, active-response-inhibition training reduced simulated civilian casualties, which revealed a causal relationship. This study therefore illustrates the potential of using cognitive training to possibly improve shooting performance, which might ultimately provide insight for military and law-enforcement personnel.

The modified layered-sectional analysis (MLSA) framework is applied to a forensic investigation case study in which two prestressed double-tee beams are exposed to a short duration, intense fire in a parking structure. The results of the MLSA are within 1% of the case study load test, which indicates that the MLSA could be a useful, computationally efficient tool for the investigating engineer to predict the postfire serviceability and strength of damaged beams, and potentially eliminate the need for expensive load testing. A short parametric study is included for the research engineer interested in the MLSA for predicting the postdamage behavior of non-standard materials such as enhanced sustainability concrete (ESC).

Three design sections were evaluated, as follows: (1) a 150-mm (6-in.) standard block masonry wall reinforced with 10-mm (No. 3) rebar at 80-cm (32-in.) maximum spacing, (2) a 200-mm (8-in.) standard block masonry wall reinforced with 13-mm (No. 4) rebar at 122-cm (48-in.) maximum spacing, and (3) a cavity wall consisting of 200-mm (8-in.) standard reinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) wythe plus a 102-cm (4-in.) clay facing brick veneer with 52-mm (2-in.) thick extruded polystyrene rigid board insulation and a 25-mm (1-in.) air gap between the structural wythe and the veneer. Each test panel was 285 cm (112 in.), seven blocks, in width x 345 cm (136 in.), 17 courses, in height. Only the cells containing reinforcement were grouted. Three blast load experiments were conducted; each experiment tested one each of the three test panel designs. The loading varied significantly between each of the three experiments. Dynamic displacement at several locations through the height (quarter points) of each panel was recorded. The reflected pressures, free field pressures, and internal pressures were recorded at several locations. Interior and exterior videography was also used to record the response. A detailed posttest forensic evaluation was conducted to determine predominant failure mechanisms. The measured transient deflection responses were then compared to analytical responses calculated using the static resistance functions generated from the test results presented in the companion paper as well as by typical blast design methodologies. The comparisons demonstrated that the design resistances used in blast analysis single degree of freedom methodology are conservative. However, the blast testing demonstrated that potentially dangerous modes of localized failure between the grouted cells can occur at scaled distances that are significantly greater than scaled distances that would be assumed to cause breaching.

Three design sections were evaluated under uniform pressure in a vacuum chamber test, as follows: (1) 150-mm (6-in.) standard block masonry wall reinforced with 10-mm (No. 3) rebar at 80-cm (32-in.) maximum spacing; (2) 200-mm (8-in.) standard block masonry wall reinforced with 13-mm (No. 4) rebar at 120-cm (48-in.) maximum spacing; and (3) a cavity wall consisting of 200-mm (8-in.) standard reinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) wythe, a 100-mm (4-in.) clay facing brick veneer with 50-mm (2-in.)-thick extruded polystyrene rigid board insulation, and a 25-mm (1-in.) air gap between the structural wythe and the veneer. Each test panel was 3.5-mð136-in:Þwide x 3.0-mð116-in:Þ high with only the cells containing reinforcement grouted. Displacement at several locations through the height and width of each panel were recorded as each test panel was loaded to collapse. Interior and exterior videography was also used to record the progression of cracking and failure. The failure mechanisms demonstrated the expected tension cracking due to flexure and a ductile flexural response was observed with rotations up to approximately 20°. The resistance function results were plotted and assessed against the resistance definitions assumed by commonly used blast design methodologies, and it was demonstrated that the flexural design resistances used in blast analysis single degree of freedom methodology are conservative. Furthermore, since the 200-mm (8-in.) thick single-wythe wall and the veneer wall had the same structural wythe designs, the stabilizing effects provided by the clay brick veneer and cavity wall components was demonstrated. The resistances and failure modes will subsequently be compared in the companion paper against those encountered in full-scale blast tests involving the same masonry panel designs.

JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2015/07/24/ VL - 308 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 62 SN - 03043800 AB - Eastern oyster abundance is at an all-time low, yet this species is a key component of many estuarine systems because it contributes to ecosystem function by providing habitat, improving water quality, stabilizing benthic and intertidal habitat, increasing landscape diversity and producing more oysters. Given the breadth of environmental benefits oysters provide, as well as their commercial and cultural importance, sustainable oyster production has become a priority in several regions, including the Chesapeake Bay. Current strategies include treating restored reefs as permanent sanctuaries, which provide long-term environmental benefits yet removes them from the fishery, or harvesting reefs on a rotational basis, which provides economic value yet decreases environmental benefits. The long term dynamics of these strategies is unknown. Oysters have a complex, biphasic life cycle (i.e., sessile adult and motile larval stages) and their viability is intimately tied to a suite of environmental factors including, but not limited to, flow regime, total suspended solids, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. In order to determine how different oyster management strategies affect oyster dynamics, we developed a multi-model approach that integrates a 2-D hydrodynamic model, a larval transport model, and a spatially-explicit, agent-based population dynamics model to simulate long term oyster dynamics. We applied our model to a ten reef system in the Great Wicomico River in the Chesapeake Bay, and simulated six different combinations of sanctuary and/or harvest management scenarios over an 8-year period. We evaluated the environmental and commercial benefits of each strategy. Our results indicated that sanctuary reefs are beneficial, and that the spatial position of sanctuary reefs strongly affected source-sink dynamics and must be considered before implementing a harvest regime. Simulations that did not consider the source/sink dynamics of the reefs yielded larger numbers of oysters for harvest in the short-term, yet resulted in a complete fishery collapse in the long term. Selective, rotational harvest, resulted in lower annual yield, but the fishery persisted throughout the eight year simulation. This integrated modeling approach helped reduce uncertainty within the study system and can help natural resource managers understand ecosystem-level processes leading to more informed decision making across spatial and temporal scales.

JO - Annals of Internal Medicine JF - Annals of Internal Medicine Y1 - 2015/07/21/ VL - 163 IS - 2 M3 - Case Study SP - 81 EP - 90 SN - 00034819 AB - Background: More than 26 000 cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) have been reported in western Africa, with high mortality. Several patients have been medically evacuated to hospitals in the United States and Europe. Detailed clinical data are limited on the clinical course and management of patients with EVD outside western Africa. Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and management of a cluster of patients with EVD, including the first cases of Ebola virus (EBOV) infection acquired in the United States. Design: Retrospective clinical case series. Setting: Three U.S. hospitals in September and October 2014. Patients: First imported EVD case identified in the United States and 2 secondary EVD cases acquired in the United States in critical care nurses who cared for the index case patient. Measurements: Clinical recovery, EBOV RNA level, resolution of Ebola viremia, survival with discharge from hospital, or death. Results: The index patient had high EBOV RNA levels, developed respiratory and renal failure requiring critical care support, and died. Both patients with secondary EBOV infection had nonspecific signs and symptoms and developed moderate illness; EBOV RNA levels were moderate, and both patients recovered. Limitation: Both surviving patients received uncontrolled treatment with multiple investigational agents, including convalescent plasma, which limits generalizability of the results. Conclusion: Early diagnosis, prompt initiation of supportive medical care, and moderate clinical illness likely contributed to successful outcomes in both survivors. The inability to determine the potential benefit of investigational therapies and the effect of patient-specific factors that may have contributed to less severe illness highlight the need for controlled clinical studies of these interventions, especially in the setting of a high level of supportive medical care.

JO - Advanced Functional Materials JF - Advanced Functional Materials Y1 - 2015/07/16/ VL - 25 IS - 27 M3 - Article SP - 4312 EP - 4320 SN - 1616301X AB - The use of sulfur in the next generation Li-ion batteries is currently precluded by its poor cycling stability caused by irreversible Li2S formation and the dissolution of soluble polysulfides in organic electrolytes that leads to parasitic cell reactions. Here, a new C/S cathode material comprising short-chain sulfur species (predominately S2) confined in carbonaceous subnanometer and the unique charge mechanism for the subnano-entrapped S2 cathodes are reported. The first charge-discharge cycle of the C/S cathode in the carbonate electrolyte forms a new type of thiocarbonate-like solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The SEI coated C/S cathode stably delivers ≈600 mAh g−1 capacity over 4020 cycles (0.0014% loss cycle−1) at ≈100% Coulombic efficiency. Extensive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the discharged cathodes shows a new type of S2 species and a new carbide-like species simultaneously, and both peaks disappear upon charging. These data suggest a new sulfur redox mechanism involving a separated Li+/S2− ion couple that precludes Li2S compound formation and prevents the dissolution of soluble sulfur anions. This new charge/discharge process leads to remarkable cycling stability and reversibility.

Metamaterial unit cells were patterned on thin GaAs patches, which were fashioned in an array on a 10 μm thick polyimide substrate via semiconductor transfer technique, and the backside of the substrate was coated with gold film as a ground plane. Optical-pump THz-probe reflection measurements show that the absorptivity can be tuned up to 25% at 0.78 THz and 40% at 1.75 THz through photo-excitation of free carriers in GaAs layers in presence of 800 nm pump beam. Our flexible tunable metamaterial perfect absorber has potential applications in energy harvesting, THz modulation and even camouflages coating.

JO - Materials Chemistry & Physics JF - Materials Chemistry & Physics Y1 - 2015/07/15/ VL - 162 M3 - Article SP - 748 EP - 756 SN - 02540584 AB - Magnetic properties of BCC, FCC and HCP Fe and the effects of the ∑ 3 < 0 1 ¯ 1 > { 111 } grain boundary (GB) and the alloying elements of Cr, Ni, Ta and Zr are investigated by first-principles calculations. The FCC Fe changes continuously from the non-magnetic state at low volumes to the ferromagnetic state at high volumes. It is observed that Σ3{111} type GBs in FCC Fe have a negative formation energy since the formation of Σ3 GB is attributed to the local FCC–HCP transformation. Moreover, consistent with the variation of equilibrium volume caused by TM solute atoms, the magnetic moment of FCC Fe 70 TM 2 is decreased with alloying Ni while increased with alloying Cr, Ta and Zr. Due to the difference in the valence electrons and atomic radius among those solute atoms, the chemical and mechanical effects on the bond structure of Σ3{111} GB in Fe and Fe 70 TM 2 are respectively characterized by deformation electron density and plots of spin alignments. It is understood that the variation of the spin state of Fe 70 TM 20 is dominated by the electron redistributions, as illustrated by the spin-flipping and the change of the bond structure.

JO - Biomedical Reports JF - Biomedical Reports Y1 - 2015/07/09/ M3 - Article SP - 703 EP - 706 SN - 20499434 AB - Interleukin 6 (IL-6) has a critical role in pain mechanisms. IL-6 signals through the Janus-activated kinases 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. The contribution of JAK2 signaling in inflammation-induced hyperalgesia has not been addressed previously. The role of this pathway was investigated using the JAK2 inhibitor, AG490, in a rat model of inflammatory pain. Unilateral hind paw inflammatory pain was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of 3.5% λ-carrageenan. Inflamed rats received an i.pl. injection of either 3.5% of dimethylsulfoxide or AG490 (1-10 µg). The antinociceptive effects of AG490 were assessed by 2 pain behavioral assays 4 h later: The thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia tests. AG490 (1-10 µg) significantly attenuated λ-carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia in a dose-dependent manner. AG490 also reduced mechanical hyperalgesia. Co-administration of opioid receptor antagonist naloxone (10 µg) and AG490 (10 µg) did not reverse AG490-produced antinociceptive activity, suggesting that the µ-opioid receptor is not responsible for the anti-hyperalgesic effects of AG490. Therefore, we suggest that AG490 produces these effects by blocking JAK2 signaling. In conclusion, JAK2 inhibitors may represent a novel class of non-narcotic drugs to treat inflammatory pain.

JO - Sensors & Actuators B: Chemical JF - Sensors & Actuators B: Chemical Y1 - 2015/07/05/ VL - 213 M3 - Article SP - 285 EP - 294 SN - 09254005 AB - Graphene oxide and hexachloroplatinic acid were electrochemically reduced on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface so as to form a graphene (Gr)–platinum nanoparticles (PtNP) composite. This nano composite was then coated with nafion (NAF) film so as to form NAF/PtNP/Gr/GCE. In this work, an electrochemical method based on adsorptive stripping square wave voltammetry (AdSSWV) employing NAF/PtNP/Gr/GCE has been proposed for the subnanomolar determination of paracetamol (PCT) and domperidone (DOM) simultaneously. The electrode material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical performance of PCT and DOM on modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronocoulometry. A sixteen fold enhancement in the AdSSWV signal was observed at NAF/PtNP/Gr/GCE in pH 6.0, phosphate buffer, as compared to GCE. Under the optimized conditions, the method allowed simultaneous determination of PCT and DOM in the linear working range of 8.2 × 10 −6 –1.6 × 10 −9 M with detection limits (3 × SD/s) of 1.06 × 10 −10 and 4.37 × 10 −10 M for PCT and DOM respectively. The practical analytical utilities of the modified electrode were demonstrated by the determination of PCT and DOM in pharmaceutical formulations, human urine, and blood serum samples. This proposed method was validated by HPLC and the results are in agreement at the 95% confidence level. Simultaneous voltammetric determination of PCT and DOM has been reported for the first time.

T1 - A decision making framework with MODFLOW-FMP2 via optimization: Determining trade-offs in crop selection. JO - Environmental Modelling & Software JF - Environmental Modelling & Software Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 69 M3 - Article SP - 280 EP - 291 SN - 13648152 AB - Farmers in regions experiencing water stress or drought conditions can struggle to balance their crop portfolios. Periods of low precipitation often lead to increased, unsustainable reliance on groundwater-supplied irrigation. As a result, regional water management agencies place limits on the amount of water which can be obtained from groundwater, requiring farmers to reduce acreage for more water-intensive crops or remove them from the portfolio entirely. Real-time decisions must be made by the farmer to ensure viability of their farming operation and reduce the impacts associated with limited water resources. Evolutionary algorithms, coupled with accurate, flexible, realistic simulation tools, are ideal mechanisms to allow farmers to assess scenarios with regard to multiple, competing objectives. In order to effective, however, one must be able to select among a variety of simulation tools and optimization algorithms. Many simulation tools allow no access to the source code, and many optimization algorithms are now packaged as part of a suite of tools available to a user. In this work, we describe a framework for integrating these different software components using only their associated input and output streams. We analyze our strategy by coupling a multi-objective genetic algorithm available in the DAKOTA optimization suite (developed and distributed by Sandia National Laboratory) with the MODFLOW-FMP2 simulation tool (developed and distributed by the United States Geological Survey). MODFLOW-FMP2 has been used extensively to model hydrological and farming processes in agriculture-dominated regions, allowing us to represent both farming and conservation interests. We evaluate our integration by considering a case study related to planting decisions facing farmers experiencing water stress. We present numerical results for three competing objectives associated with stakeholders in a given region (i.e., profitability, meeting demand targets, and water conservation). The data obtained from the optimization are robust with respect to algorithmic parameter choices, validating the ability of the associated evolutionary algorithm to perform well without expert guidance. This is integral to our approach, as a motivation for this work is providing decision-making tools. In addition, the results from this study demonstrate that output from the chosen evolutionary algorithm provides a suite of feasible planting scenarios, giving farmers and policy makers the ability to compromise solutions based on realistic simulation data.

JO - Computational Materials Science JF - Computational Materials Science Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 105 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 26 SN - 09270256 AB - Mg-based metal-matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) are lauded as one of the most promising structural materials for vehicle, military, and construction applications. These Mg MMNCs are often synthesized using the powder metallurgy (PM) process under liquid nitrogen cryogenic environments to control the grain sizes. It is believed that proper incorporation of the nitrogen species into the bulk lattice during processing could strongly enhance the mechanical properties of MMNCs by forming N-rich dispersoids. In this work, using the density-functional theory (DFT), we have studied the adsorption and absorption phenomena of liquid nitrogen molecule/atoms that can be applied to the Mg MMNC PM processing. The study includes the impacts of binding sites, alloying elements (Al, Zn, and Y), and surface crystallographic planes on the nitrogen molecule adsorption energies. We also examined the transition state (TS) behaviors for the bond breaking and lattice diffusion of nitrogen. The results show that ∼1.13 eV would be required for nitrogen molecule to break the triple bonding and to diffuse into the Mg bulk lattice. Also, it was found that addition of Y can greatly enhance the binding strength of N 2 molecule on the Mg surface.

Since Sasol IPK is a low ignition quality fuel with derived cetane number (DCN) of 31, there is a need to improve its ignition quality. This paper investigates the effect of adding different amounts of Lubrizol 8090 cetane improver to Sasol IPK on increasing its DCN. The experimental investigation was conducted in a single cylinder research type diesel engine. The engine is equipped with a common rail injection system and an open engine control unit. Experiments covered different injection pressures and intake air temperatures. Analysis of test results was made to determine the effect of cetane improver percentage in the coal-derived Sasol IPK blend on auto-ignition, combustion and emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), total unhurried hydrocarbon (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and paniculate matter (PM). In addition, the effect of cetane improver on the apparent activation energy of the global auto-ignition reactions was determined.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 167 M3 - Article SP - 216 EP - 224 SN - 01657836 AB - Evaluating fish behavior and migration in response to environmental changes is a fundamental component of fisheries research and recovery of freshwater ecosystems. While spatial distribution and behavior of fishes has been well studied around hydropower facilities, little research has been conducted at a mid-reach location between two dams. The Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) cabled receiver system was developed and employed as a reference sensor network for detecting and tracking juvenile salmon in the Columbia River Basin. To supplement acquisition of detection and three-dimensional (3-D) tracking data to estimate survival and fish behavior in the forebays of Little Goose and Lower Monumental dams on the Snake River in eastern Washington State, a mid-reach location was needed to investigate the spatial distribution of migrating juvenile salmon in open-water conditions between the two dams. Lyons Ferry Bridge on State Route 261 at the confluence of the Snake and Palouse Rivers was chosen as the mid-reach location. A JSATS-cabled receiver system configuration was successfully designed and deployed from the bridge's pier structure. Theoretical analysis confirmed the functionality and precision of the deployment design. Validation tests demonstrated sub-meter accuracy of 3-D tracking up to a horizontal distance of 50 m upstream and downstream from the Lyons Ferry Bridge piers. Detection and tracking probabilities of the LFB cabled array were estimated to be 99.98% from field application. This research provided a detailed description of acoustic telemetry system deployment and 3-D tracking as guidance for better understanding of fish migration behavior as they pass through dams and continue downstream through the river between dams.

This paper's primary objective is to present material properties of portland cement stabilized VHMS and discuss its immediate reuse for disaster recovery. The paper focuses on laboratory properties that can be achieved by combinations of three soils with differing plasticity, seven portland cements at varying dosages, and two very high moisture levels. Approximately 1,200 unconfined compression tests were performed. Laboratory test results indicated shear strengths of 0.1-3.8 kg=cm2 could be achieved after 1-7 days of room temperature curing. Literature and practice review indicated chemically stabilized VHMS (i.e., emergency construction material) could be mixed with pugmills or concrete ready-mix trucks, pumped 1-3.2 km, and placed without mechanical compaction. Beneficial reuse after disaster recovery ceases is also likely in many applications. The overall assessment of the paper is that portland cement stabilized VHMS can be a viable solution for disaster recovery.

JO - Composite Structures JF - Composite Structures Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 125 M3 - Article SP - 202 EP - 211 SN - 02638223 AB - The application of advance materials to manufacture hard armor systems has led to high performance ballistic protection. Due to its light-weight and high impact energy absorption capabilities, composite metal foams have shown good potential for applications as ballistic armor. A high-performance light-weight composite armor system has been manufactured using boron carbide ceramics as the strike face, composite metal foam processed by powder metallurgy technique as a bullet kinetic energy absorber interlayer, and aluminum 7075 or Kevlar™ panels as backplates with a total armor thickness less than 25 mm. The ballistic tolerance of this novel composite armor system has been evaluated against the 7.62 × 51 mm M80 and 7.62 × 63 mm M2 armor piercing projectiles according to U.S. National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard 0101.06. The results showed that composite metal foams absorbed approximately 60–70% of the total kinetic energy of the projectile effectively and stopped both types of projectiles with less depth of penetration and backplate deformation than that specified in the NIJ 0101.06 standard guidelines. Finite element analysis was performed using Abaqus/Explicit to study the failure mechanisms and energy absorption of the armor system. The results showed close agreement between experimental and analytical results.

In this work we employ dislocation dynamics to determine the effect of image stresses produced by the void’s free surface on PDL formation in a face-centered cubic lattice. We find that image stresses cause PDL formation to fall into two distinct pressure regimes. In the low pressure regime, image stresses dominate dislocation cross-slip, reducing the PDL’s size and formation rate.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 53 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 70 EP - 77 SN - 01636804 AB - Harvesting energy from natural (solar, wind, vibration, etc.) and synthesized (microwave power transfer) sources is envisioned as a key enabler for realizing green wireless networks. Energy efficient scheduling is one of the prime objectives in emerging cognitive radio platforms. To that end, in this article we present a comprehensive framework to characterize the performance of a cognitive metro-cellular network empowered by solar energy harvesting. The proposed model allows designers to capture both the spatial and temporal dynamics of the energy field and the mobile user traffic. A new definition for the ?energy outage probability? metric, which characterizes the self-sustainable operation of the base stations under energy harvesting, is proposed, and the process for quantifying is described with the help of a case study for various UK cities. It is shown that the energy outage probability is strongly coupled with the path-loss exponent, required quality of service, and base station and user density. Moreover, the energy outage probability varies both on a daily and yearly basis depending on the solar geometry. It is observed that even in winter, BSs can run for three to six hours without any purchase of energy from the power grid by harvesting instantaneous energy.

Hurricane Irene (2011) crossed a large, shallow lagoonal estuarine system in North Carolina, causing flooding and erosion of the adjacent low-lying coastal plain and barrier islands. This event provided an opportunity to improve understanding of the estuarine response to strong and rotating wind forcing. Observations from acoustic sensors in subestuaries and water-level elevation measurements from a network of pressure sensors across the system are presented. Data are examined with two modeling techniques: (1) a simple numerical approach using a momentum balance between the wind stress, flow acceleration, pressure gradient, and bottom friction that gives insight into temporal variability in water levels through the passage of the storm; and (2) an advanced hydrodynamic model based on the full shallow water fluid momentum equations, coupled to a spectral surface wave model that accounts for the spatially varying bathymetry and wind field. The results indicate that both wind-generated surface waves and the wind-driven storm surge are important contributors to the total water surface elevations that induce flooding along estuarine shorelines under strong hurricane forcing.

Adding periodic waves or kinks to the traces of an inductor coil has been found to result in a more compliant structure that will not permanently deform or break after stretching by tens of percent. In this paper, the effects on electrical performance of creating inductor coils from stretchable wavy traces are investigated. Eight different tortuous trace designs were modeled and experimentally tested in one- and three-turn inductors, as well as an electrical transformer design. Incorporating waves into an inductor was found to result in a negative mutual coupling along the traces, degrading the inductor performance. The incremental self-inductance per resistance of the added length due to the waviness, $\sim 1.2$ nH/ $\Omega $ , was similar for all interconnect types tested. This value is less than a third that of using a longer straight conductor of similar cross section (4.4 nH/ $\Omega )$ , resulting in a drop in ratio of inductance to resistance and resulting peak quality factor in the measured inductors by as much as a factor of two.

In the existing literature, it is typically assumed that the time for a sensor switching from one site to another is negligible. This may not be the case in applications such as camera surveillance of a border, however, in which the camera takes time to pan and tilt to refocus itself to a new geographical location. We formulate a problem with constraints modeling refocusing delays. We prove the problem to be NP-hard and then study a special case in which refocusing is proportional to some Euclidian metric. We give a lower bound on the optimal cost for the scheduling problem, and we derive exact solutions for some special cases of the problem. Finally, we provide and experimentally evaluate several heuristic algorithms, some of which are based on the computed lower bound, for the setting of one sensor and many sites.

We report results of a double-dissociative randomized controlled study in which 48 Army platoons were randomly assigned to social resilience training (intervention condition) or cultural awareness training (active control group). The same surveys were administered to all platoons at baseline and after the completion of training to determine the short-term training effects, generalization effects beyond training, and possible adverse effects. Multilevel modeling analyses indicated that social resilience, compared with cultural awareness, training produced small but significant improvements in social cognition (e.g., increased empathy, perspective taking, & military hardiness) and decreased loneliness, but no evidence was found for social resilience training to generalize beyond these training foci nor to have adverse effects. Moreover, as predicted, cultural awareness, compared with social resilience, training produced increases in knowledge about and decreases in prejudice toward Afghans. Additional research is warranted to determine the long-term durability, safety, and generalizability of social resilience training.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems JF - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 51 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1698 EP - 1716 SN - 00189251 AB - In this paper, a novel framework of sparse kernel learning for support vector data description (SVDD) based anomaly detection is presented. By introducing 0-1 control variables to original features in the input space, sparse feature selection for anomaly detection is modeled as a mixed integer programming problem. Due to the prohibitively high computational complexity, it is relaxed into a quadratically constrained linear programming (QCLP) problem. The QCLP problem can then be practically solved by using an iterative optimization method, in which multiple subsets of features are iteratively found as opposed to a single subset. However, when a nonlinear kernel such as Gaussian radial basis function kernel, associated with an infinite-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is used in the QCLP-based iterative optimization, it is impractical to find optimal subsets of features due to a large number of possible combinations of the original features. To tackle this issue, a feature map called the empirical kernel map, which maps data points in the input space into a finite space called the empirical kernel feature space (EKFS), is used in the proposed work. The QCLP-based iterative optimization problem is solved in the EKFS instead of in the input space or the RKHS. This is possible because the geometrical properties of the EKFS and the corresponding RKHS remain the same. Now, an explicit nonlinear exploitation of the data in a finite EKFS is achievable, which results in optimal feature ranking. Comprehensive experimental results on three hyperspectral images and several machine learning datasets show that our proposed method can provide improved performance over the current state-of-the-art techniques.

JO - Journal of Energy Resources Technology JF - Journal of Energy Resources Technology Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 137 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 01950738 AB - Vehicles connected to electric systems are considered "plug-in" vehicles. They can be an integral part of a microgrid. Ground vehicles have become more electrified over time, providing electrical power for the propulsion system (hybrid) and a complex suite of auxiliary power systems, enhancing their use in microgrids. Optimizing the microgrid system for performance and reliability considering many external loads and sources is a challenging problem. This is especially true when the plug-in vehicles may enter and leave the microgrid randomly becoming either sources or loads. The microgrid is a repairable system. Recent work has shown that multiple metrics are needed to fully account for the performance of repairable systems under uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a decision-based framework to design and maintain repairable systems for optimal performance and reliability using a set of metrics such as minimum failure free period (MFFP), number of failures in planning horizon, and cost. Optimal tradeoffs among a minimal set of metrics (MSOM) can be used in the design and maintenance of these systems. The optimal solution includes the initial design, the system maintenance throughout the planning horizon, and the protocol to operate the system. Critical remote military installations with plug-in vehicles connected to the microgrids require careful consideration of cost and repair strategies because of logistical challenges in performing repairs and supplying necessary spare parts in unsafe locations. We show how a MSOM helps to solve the complex optimization problem of finding the best microgrid power management strategy considering performance, reliability, and cost.

JO - Journal of Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 141 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 07339372 AB - The United States Army is constructing a new water-treatment facility for Fort Irwin/National Training Center in the Mojave Desert region of southern California to address existing regulatory requirements and to account for anticipated expansion at the installation. The proposed treatment, electrodialysis reversal (EDR), is anticipated to recover 92% of the influent water. The ultimate goal was to achieve 99% recovery, which required additional recovery of the EDR concentrate. This paper describes laboratory testing of conventional watertreatment methods to achieve water recovery beyond standard practice. The effectiveness of lime softening followed by secondary reverse osmosis (RO) was evaluated to treat the concentrate stream and recover additional water to approach 98%. Partial lime softening at dosages of 500 - 2,000 mg/L of hydrated lime was capable of removing hardness from simulated EDR concentrate. Adding magnesium chloride to the lime softening step increased silica removal, bringing SiO2 concentrations in the simulated EDR concentrate from 110 to 6.8 mg/L at room temperature. The resulting treated water was suitable for effective reverse osmosis with a standard seawater polyamide membrane. Rejection for all of the dissolved constituents was well above 90% with the exception of arsenic, which was reduced from 50 μg/L to levels on the order of 20 μg/L. To achieve 99% recovery, mechanical vapor recompression is being considered to further recover the concentrate from the RO unit, although this unit process was not evaluated in the research reported in this paper.

JO - AIMS Energy JF - AIMS Energy Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 360 EP - 376 SN - 23338334 AB - Hybrid microgrids consisting of diesel generator set(s) and converter based power sources, such as solar photovoltaic or wind sources, offer an alternative to generator based off-grid power systems. The hybrid approach has been shown to be economical in many off-grid applications and can result in reduced generator operation, fuel requirements, and maintenance. However, the intermittent nature of demand and renewable energy sources typically require energy storage, such as batteries, to properly operate the hybrid microgrid. These batteries increase the system cost, require proper operation and maintenance, and have been shown to be unreliable in case studies on hybrid microgrids. This work examines the impacts of leveraging demand response in a hybrid microgrid in lieu of energy storage. The study is performed by simulating two different hybrid diesel generator--PV microgrid topologies, one with a single diesel generator and one with multiple paralleled diesel generators, for a small residential neighborhood with varying levels of demand response. Various system designs are considered and the optimal design, based on cost of energy, is presented for each level of demand response. The solar resources, performance of solar PV source, performance of diesel generators, costs of system components, maintenance, and operation are modeled and simulated at a time interval of ten minutes over a twenty-five year period for both microgrid topologies. Results are quantified through cost of energy, diesel fuel requirements, and utilization of the energy sources under varying levels of demand response. The results indicate that a moderate level of demand response can have significant positive impacts to the operation of hybrid microgrids through reduced energy cost, fuel consumption, and increased utilization of PV sources.

JO - Safety Science JF - Safety Science Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 76 M3 - Article SP - 160 EP - 167 SN - 09257535 AB - Problem In spite of recent efforts to improve occupational health and safety, many occupational accidents result in serious injury and death every year. Continued efforts are therefore necessary to improve current safety initiatives and reduce the frequency and severity of these incidents. To identify workplace hazards, many safety surveillance techniques have been used, including severity metrics to determine the significance of an accident. These techniques involve risk assessment to identify potential hazards and the expected severity of injuries which may result from these hazards, usually based on the severity of similar past injuries. However, these severity metrics do not consider important employee and workplace risk factors, such as age, gender, and weather, which may have significant impacts on accident severity. Method A new severity scoring system is introduced which considers multiple injury severity factors, and is used as part of a novel three-dimensional risk assessment matrix which includes an incident’s severity, frequency, and preventability. A case study using the proposed methodology with real data is presented. Discussion The consideration of additional severity factors improves risk assessment and the estimation of injury severity. A three dimensional risk assessment matrix allows for the analysis of an incident’s degree of preventability, frequency, and severity all at once. Practical Applications This study demonstrates that organizations, industries, and regulatory bodies can improve workplace safety surveillance tools by incorporating this new severity metric in a three-dimensional risk assessment matrix.

Deep reactive-ion etching is used to form openings in the handling wafer allowing the die to be flush-mounted for minimal device thickness. The backsides of the support wafer and die are coated by copper sputtering and electroplating, which physically secures the die in place. Electrical isolation is achieved through passivation of the silicon handle wafer sidewalls before copper electroplating. Wet thermal oxide growth was chosen over plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition as the sidewall passivation technique, as wet thermal oxide was found to yield superior coverage and uniformity. Topside interconnects were realized using a previously established thick-film copper metallization process. A $3\times 3$ die array was successfully produced and tested for die-to-die connectivity. Thermal modeling of the fabricated devices showed that power densities up to 1 W/cm ^{2} could be accommodated while keeping the maximum temperature below 85 °C.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 89 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 6773 EP - 6781 SN - 0022538X AB - This study addresses the role of Ebola virus (EBOV) specific infectivity in virulence. Filoviruses are highly lethal, enveloped, single- stranded negative-sense RNA viruses that can cause hemorrhagic fever. No approved vaccines or therapies exist for filovirus infections, and infectious virus must be handled in maximum containment. Efficacy testing of countermeasures, in addition to investigations of pathogenicity and immune response, often requires a well-characterized animal model. For EBOV, an obstacle in performing accurate disease modeling is a poor understanding of what constitutes an infectious dose in animal models. One well-recognized consequence of viral passage in cell culture is a change in specific infectivity, often measured as a particle-to- PFU ratio. Here, we report that serial passages of EBOV in cell culture resulted in a decrease in particle-to-PFU ratio. Notably, this correlated with decreased potency in a lethal cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) model of infection; animals were infected with the same viral dose as determined by plaque assay, but animals that received more virus particles exhibited increased disease. This suggests that some particles are unable to form a plaque in a cell culture assay but are able to result in lethal disease in vivo. These results have a significant impact on how future studies are designed to model EBOV disease and test countermeasures.

The stable magnetization dynamics starts at a rather large magnitude of the bias dc current density Jdc>Jthhigh when the bias current is increased, but the regime of stable counter-precession of the FLs persists till rather low magnitudes of the bias dc current density Jthlow83%) of currently available human PPIs have been reported only once. Results: In this work, we proposed an unsupervised statistical approach to score a set of diverse, experimentally identified PPIs from nine primary databases to create subsets of high-confidence human PPI networks. We evaluated this ranking method by comparing it with other methods and assessing their ability to retrieve protein associations from a number of diverse and independent reference sets. These reference sets contain known biological data that are either directly or indirectly linked to interactions between proteins. We quantified the average effect of using ranked protein interaction data to retrieve this information and showed that, when compared to randomly ranked interaction data sets, the proposed method created a larger enrichment (~134%) than either ranking based on the hypergeometric test (~109%) or occurrence ranking (~46%). Conclusions: From our evaluations, it was clear that ranked interactions were always of value because higher-ranked PPIs had a higher likelihood of retrieving high-confidence experimental data. Reducing the noise inherent in aggregated experimental PPIs via our ranking scheme further increased the accuracy and enrichment of PPIs derived from a number of biologically relevant data sets. These results suggest that using our high-confidence protein interactions at different levels of confidence will help clarify the topological and biological properties associated with human protein networks.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 13 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 151 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: The concept of orthology is key to decoding evolutionary relationships among genes across different species using comparative genomics. QuartetS is a recently reported algorithm for large-scale orthology detection. Based on the well-established evolutionary principle that gene duplication events discriminate paralogous from orthologous genes, QuartetS has been shown to improve orthology detection accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency. Description: QuartetS-DB is a new orthology database constructed using the QuartetS algorithm. The database provides orthology predictions among 1621 complete genomes (1365 bacterial, 92 archaeal, and 164 eukaryotic), covering more than seven million proteins and four million pairwise orthologs. It is a major source of orthologous groups, containing more than 300,000 groups of orthologous proteins and 236,000 corresponding gene trees. The database also provides over 500,000 groups of inparalogs. In addition to its size, a distinguishing feature of QuartetS-DB is the ability to allow users to select a cutoff value that modulates the balance between prediction accuracy and coverage of the retrieved pairwise orthologs. The database is accessible at https://applications. bioanalysis.org/quartetsdb. Conclusions: QuartetS-DB is one of the largest orthology resources available to date. Because its orthology predictions are underpinned by evolutionary evidence obtained from sequenced genomes, we expect its accuracy to continue to increase in future releases as the genomes of additional species are sequenced.

Essentially, the algorithm prunes a layout tree generated by interpreting the shape grammar with constraints extracted from the footprint and exterior features. The Queen Anne house, commonly located in Pittsburgh, is chosen as the exemplars of the building style. It is shown how a shape-grammar interpreter for the Queen Anne house was developed and applied to the preceding problem. This shape-grammar interpreter provides the basis for developing grammar interpreters for general parametric shapes. For the purposes of illustration and comparison, applications of the approach to two other distinct building styles are briefly described.

The resulting model reproduces several atomistic properties but cannot account for accurate energy exchange due to coarse-graining of the intramolecular degrees of freedom. To correct this, we account for momentum and energy transfer in mechanical shock treatments by utilizing constant energy dissipative particle dynamics (DPD-E). We present preliminary results for the parameterization of DPD-E for RDX via bulk simulations and mechanical shock loading, with results assessed by comparison to atomistic simulation.

Rings were fabricated from a Ni+Al structural energetic material and subjected to explosive fragmentation. Photon Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) data and ring fragments were collected and analyzed. Fragment sizes were found to be much smaller than those typical of ductile metals like copper and aluminum. This is attributed to the unique microstructure of the Ni+Al material. Additionally, a TNT charge cased with Ni+Al was detonated to cause the fragmentation of the Ni+Al case; high-speed photography showed Ni+Al fragments igniting upon oblique impact with a white photographic background.

At the mesoscale, microstructures of silicon carbide grains (hexagonal crystal structure) or aluminum oxynitride grains (cubic crystal structure) are subjected to compression or shear at high rates with varying confining pressure. Each grain is resolved by numerous three-dimensional finite elements, and behavior of each grain is modeled using nonlinear anisotropic elasticity. Cohesive fracture models and post-fracture contact are included. Normal and Weibull failure statistics from many simulations are collected and analyzed. Results demonstrate effects of load directionality, confinement, dilatation, elastic anisotropy and elastic nonlinearity, and grain boundary fracture properties on macroscopic (average) failure stresses for loading conditions in the ballistic regime. Predictions demonstrate reasonable agreement with data from macroscopic plate impact, unconfined compression, and flexure experiments.

Prior to compression, the energetic samples were heated to temperatures up to 155°C, presumed to be below the HMX β - δ phase transition at atmospheric pressure conditions. A Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) was used to measure particle velocity of the transmitted compression wave. Temperature corrections in the drive plates and windows were estimated and velocity profile data was analyzed using forward/backward integration methods along with an optimization method to determine unreacted Mie-Grüneisen EOS parameters.

SN - 09683445 AB - During the Vietnam War the complex nature of fighting an insurgency posed significant problems for US Army officers attempting to measure progress and military effectiveness. While much of the Vietnam historiography maintains that ‘body counts’ served as the primary, if not only, indicator of wartime success, such arguments overlook the vast numbers of reports attempting to measure progress and performance. Problems in evaluating progress stemmed not from a lack of effort on the part of army officers or from a single-minded commitment to counting bodies. Rather, complications arose from attempting to collect too many facts, figures, and statistics without evaluating how accurately such data reflected progress in a complex political-military environment.

We have also used nanoclays [Cloisite 20A, 2C18 MMT (dimethylditallowammonium-/ dimethyldioctadecylammonium-modified montmorillonite)] along with the crosslinker during crosslinking process to further reduce the flammability of the crosslinked polymers. Among all the crosslinkers investigated, isophthalic acid with the nanoclay was found to have the best performance for flame retardant applications.

The enzyme, soybean peroxidase (SBP), was shown to successfully polymerize the beta functionalized pyrrole monomer. The resulting polymer was semiconducting, thermally stable, and exhibited bipolaron absorptions when synthesized in the presence of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS). Polymers synthesized in the presence of 10-camphor sulfonic acid (CSA) were found to exhibit slightly higher conductivity values, but were less thermally stable compared to poly(3-MP) polymerized in the presence of PSS. This work should stimulate further interest in expanding the use of enzymes as catalysts for the polymerization of other pyrrole derivatives, as well as other classes of conjugated polymers.

T1 - Allelic Variation on Murine Chromosome 11 Modifies Host Inflammatory Responses and Resistance to Bacillus anthracis. JO - PLoS Pathogens JF - PLoS Pathogens Y1 - 2011/12// VL - 7 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537366 AB - Anthrax is a potentially fatal disease resulting from infection with Bacillus anthracis. The outcome of infection is influenced by pathogen-encoded virulence factors such as lethal toxin (LT), as well as by genetic variation within the host. To identify host genes controlling susceptibility to anthrax, a library of congenic mice consisting of strains with homozygous chromosomal segments from the LT-responsive CAST/Ei strain introgressed on a LT-resistant C57BL/6 (B6) background was screened for response to LT. Three congenic strains containing CAST/Ei regions of chromosome 11 were identified that displayed a rapid inflammatory response to LT similar to, but more severe than that driven by a LT-responsive allele of the inflammasome constituent NRLP1B. Importantly, increased response to LT in congenic mice correlated with greater resistance to infection by the Sterne strain of B. anthracis. The genomic region controlling the inflammatory response to LT was mapped to 66.36-74.67 Mb on chromosome 11, a region that encodes the LT-responsive CAST/Ei allele of Nlrp1b. However, known downstream effects of NLRP1B activation, including macrophage pyroptosis, cytokine release, and leukocyte infiltration could not fully explain the response to LT or the resistance to B. anthracis Sterne in congenic mice. Further, the exacerbated response in congenic mice is inherited in a recessive manner while the Nlrp1b-mediated response to LT is dominant. Finally, congenic mice displayed increased responsiveness in a model of sepsis compared with B6 mice. In total, these data suggest that allelic variation of one or more chromosome 11 genes in addition to Nlrp1b controls the severity of host response to multiple inflammatory stimuli and contributes to resistance to B. anthracis Sterne. Expression quantitative trait locus analysis revealed 25 genes within this region as high priority candidates for contributing to the host response to LT.

SN - 00219762 AB - Objectives: The study conducted a longitudinal assessment of insomnia as an antecedent versus consequence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms among combat veterans. Design: Two postdeployment time points were used in combination with structural equation modeling to examine the relative strength of two possible directions of prediction: insomnia as a predictor of psychological symptoms, and psychological symptoms as a predictor of insomnia. Participants were active duty soldiers ( N = 659) in a brigade combat team who were assessed 4 months after their return from a 12-month deployment to Iraq, and then again eight months later. Results: Although both insomnia and psychological symptoms were associated at both time periods and across time periods, insomnia at 4 months postdeployment was a significant predictor of change in depression and PTSD symptoms at 12 months postdeployment, whereas depression and PTSD symptoms at 4 months postdeployment were not significant predictors of change in insomnia at 12 months postdeployment. Conclusions: Results support the role of insomnia in the development of additional psychological problems and highlight the clinical implications for combat veterans, to include the importance of longitudinal assessment and monitoring of sleep disturbances, and the need for early intervention. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Design: A sample of Soldiers with prior combat deployment experience ( n = 1,834) completed an anonymous survey including demographics, the PTGI, and negative BH conditions. Results: Among previously deployed Soldiers, those reporting the highest number of combat experiences also reported significantly higher overall PTG. A significant inverse relationship was observed between PTG and recent suicidal ideation, whereby Soldiers reporting recent suicidal ideation reported significantly lower overall PTG. Conclusions: This study quantified PTG resulting from deployment and demonstrated the degree to which combat experiences might result in PTG. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

JO - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JF - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience Y1 - 2011/12// VL - 23 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 3959 EP - 3971 PB - MIT Press SN - 0898929X AB - Although the medial-temporal lobes (MTL), PFC, and parietal cortex are considered primary nodes in the episodic memory network, there is much debate regarding the contributions of MTL, PFC, and parietal subregions to recollection versus familiarity (dual-process theory) and the feasibility of accounts on the basis of a single memory strength process (strength theory). To investigate these issues, the current fMRI study measured activity during retrieval of memories that differed quantitatively in terms of strength (high vs. low-confidence trials) and qualitatively in terms of recollection versus familiarity (source vs. item memory tasks). Support for each theory varied depending on which node of the episodic memory network was considered. Results from MTL best fit a dual-process account, as a dissociation was found between a right hippocampal region showing high-confidence activity during the source memory task and bilateral rhinal regions showing high confidence activity during the item memory task. Within PFC, several left-lateralized regions showed greater activity for source than item memory, consistent with recollective orienting, whereas a right-lateralized ventrolateral area showed low-confidence activity in both tasks, consistent with monitoring processes. Parietal findings were generally consistent with strength theory, with dorsal areas showing low-confidence activity and ventral areas showing high-confidence activity in both tasks. This dissociation fits with an attentional account of parietal functions during episodic retrieval. The results suggest that both dual-process and strength theories are partly correct, highlighting the need for an integrated model that links to more general cognitive theories to account for observed neural activity during episodic memory retrieval.

However, composite's typical nonductile behavior and low-energy absorption are some of the concerns that have yet to be fully addressed. The objective of this research is to investigate a new mechanism-based bistable composite structure as the wrapping system for concrete columns to improve the energy absorption and damage tolerance. The bistable structure consists of energy-absorbing main links (primary load carrier) and waiting links (secondary load carrier to be activated after main link fails). A series of uniaxial compression tests on cylindrical concrete members wrapped with hybrid carbon-glass FRP bistable structure were conducted to demonstrate the concept and study the effect caused by link geometry. The results showed that a controlled failure with signs of failure (warning) was achieved in the system and both the ductility and energy absorption were enhanced. The effectiveness of the confinement depended on the number of links and the energy absorption relied on the size of the links.

Proliferation in Lidar technology and data collection enables new approaches for monitoring and analysis of landscape evolution. For example, repeat Lidar surveys that generate a time series of point cloud data provide an opportunity to transition from traditional, static representations of topography to terrain abstraction as a 3D dynamic layer. Three case studies are presented to illustrate novel techniques for landscape evolution analysis based on time series of Lidar data: (1) application of multi-year airborne Lidar surveys to a study of a dynamic coastal region, where the change is driven by eolian sediment transport, wave-induced beach erosion, and human intervention; (2) monitoring of vegetation growth and the impact of landscape structure on overland flow in an agricultural field using terrestrial laser scanning; and (3) investigation of landscape design impacts on overland water flow and other physical processes using a tangible geospatial modeling system. The presented studies demonstrate new insights into landscape evolution in different environments that can be gained from Lidar scanning spanning 1.0-0.001 m resolutions with geographic information system analysis capabilities.

Depletion of iron stores (iron deficiency [ID]) may lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which affects mood, cognitive function, and physical performance. Previous studies indicated that iron status may decline during military training. This study assessed the iron status and prevalence of ID and IDA in military personnel deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan (1492 m). Within the pool of 294 participants (149 male and 145 female), 2 males (1%) and 8 females (6%) presented with ID. Although IDA was not observed in males, 3 females (2%) met the criteria for IDA. Female sex (p = 0.05) and self-reported history of anemia (p < 0.05) were associated with diminished iron status. Amenorrhea was associated with higher ferritin (p < 0.05) and hemoglobin (p < 0.05) levels. Although ID and IDA did not affect a large portion of the deployed population assessed in this study, findings suggest that risk factors including female sex, history of anemia, and regular menstruation should be considered in the assessment of iron status in military personnel.

This was a study comparing efficacy and breakage of 166 Afghanistan-exposed tourniquets to 166 unexposed tourniquets. Afghanistan exposure was defined as tourniquet carriage by field staff in the operational environment for approximately 6 months. In a controlled environment in the United States, a previously exposed tourniquet was tested on one thigh of each subject, while an unexposed tourniquet was tested on the opposite thigh. We recorded tourniquet efficacy (absence of distal pedal pulse for at least 30 seconds), breakage, and the number of turns required to stop the distal pedal pulse. A Wilcoxon sign-rank test was used to test differences between exposed and unexposed tourniquets. Tourniquets exposed to the environment broke more often (14/166 versus 0/166) and had decreased efficacy (63% versus 91%; p < 0.001). Three turns were required for most tourniquets to be efficacious. Environmental exposure of military tourniquets is associated with decreased efficacy and increased breakage. In most cases, tourniquets require three turns to stop the distal lower extremity pulse.

SN - 07490208 AB - Bedform (ripple) geometry is an important feature in the nearshore that can significantly enhance wave energy dissipation. Ripples regulate wave transformation and influence the sediment transport phenomenon. These issues are of particular importance when determining beach erosion and investigating other coastal processes. Although numerous studies have addressed the issue of bedform geometry under surface gravity waves, no single model is considered adequate. The reintive roughness and subsequent wave energy dissipation are governed by attributes that include ripple height and wavelength. The comparatively large wave tank facility at Davidson Laboratory (Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on the Hudson, Hoboken, New Jersey) provided an ideal opportunity for investigating bedform features for a flat bed, as well as the novel study of a sloped sediment bed. Our results provide new data that strengthen prior relationships and demonstrate that a sloped surface may be modeled in a similar fashion to a flat sediment bed. We have successfully compared irregular waves from the laboratory to field measurements and selected an existing model that is consisttnt with our data. Perhaps one of the most significant conclusions from this research is that the identified models for ripple dimensions on the flat surface predict values for bedform geometry on the sloped surface as well.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2011/11// VL - 6 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Many heavy metals, including nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) are toxic industrial chemicals with an exposure risk in both occupational and environmental settings that may cause harmful outcomes. While these substances are known to produce adverse health effects leading to disease or health problems, the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. To elucidate the processes involved in the toxicity of nickel, cadmium, and chromium at the molecular level and to perform a comparative analysis, H4-II-E-C3 rat liver-derived cell lines were treated with soluble salts of each metal using concentrations derived from viability assays, and gene expression patterns were determined with DNA microarrays. We identified both common and unique biological responses to exposure to the three metals. Nickel, cadmium, chromium all induced oxidative stress with both similar and unique genes and pathways responding to this stress. Although all three metals are known to be genotoxic, evidence for DNA damage in our study only exists in response to chromium. Nickel induced a hypoxic response as well as inducing genes involved in chromatin structure, perhaps by replacing iron in key proteins. Cadmium distinctly perturbed genes related to endoplasmic reticulum stress and invoked the unfolded protein response leading to apoptosis. With these studies, we have completed the first gene expression comparative analysis of nickel, cadmium, and chromium in H4-II-E-C3 cells.

Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

SN - 07490208 AB - Bedform (ripple) geometry is an important feature in the nearshore that can significantly enhance wave energy dissipation. Ripples regulate wave transformation and influence the sediment transport phenomenon. These issues are of particular importance when determining beach erosion and investigating other coastal processes. Although numerous studies have addressed the issue of bedform geometry under surface gravity waves, no single model is considered adequate. The relative roughness and subsequent wave energy dissipation are governed by attributes that include ripple height and wavelength. The comparatively large wave tank facility at Davidson Laboratory (Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on the Hudson, Hoboken, New Jersey) provided an ideal opportunity for investigating bedform features for a flat bed, as well as the novel study of a sloped sediment bed. Our results provide new data that strengthen prior relationships and demonstrate that a sloped surface may be modeled in a similar fashion to a flat sediment bed. We have successfully compared irregular waves from the laboratory to field measurements and selected an existing model that is consistent with our data. Perhaps one of the most significant conclusions from this research is that the identified models for ripple dimensions on the flat surface predict values for bedform geometry on the sloped surface as well.

Common practice requires artificial heating of the raw materials and the surrounding environment to create suitable curing conditions for normal concrete. Antifreeze concrete is a new approach to cold-weather concreting without the need for artificial heating. This saves time, money, and energy. The antifreeze concrete technology has been proven in numerous full-scale field demonstrations and is compatible with current concrete construction practices. A laboratory study established the practicality of using antifreeze concrete and developed the tools to mix and cure concrete in subfreezing temperatures. Eight candidate antifreeze formulations were developed in the laboratory and subjected to initial screening tests that showed they were capable of being workable, entraining air, and meeting the design freezing point. Performance testing showed that the strength gain when cured at -4°C is as good as conventional concrete cured at +5°C and that antifreeze mixtures can be made durable. High dosages of chemical admixture used in antifreeze concrete mixtures were not harmful to the concrete. It is recommended that agencies conduct testing on their own to become familiar with the antifreeze mixtures before widespread use.

Evaluation procedures included the artificial introduction of water into the pavement structure and observation of outflow. Flow and time measurements were recorded and analyzed to determine if the provided permeability of each drainage layer satisfies the current design criteria. Results from this evaluation showed that design and construction, as well as maintenance have important roles in the functionality of airfield pavement drainage layers. Several pavement areas tested were not functioning properly. However, permeability rates through the drainage layers meeting the aggregate gradation specifications were within acceptable limits. It was concluded that the use of drainage layers in military airfields is beneficial, but should be required only on areas where climatic conditions represent a potential of water entering and causing problems in the pavement system. Historical pavement surface condition data were also analyzed, but not enough surface deterioration was observed because the drainage layers studied had not been in place long enough to show any differences in performance from pavements constructed without drainage layers. An additional evaluation of long-term pavement performance was recommended to be considered in the future.

Methods: Injuries were obtained from an injury surveillance system. A health questionnaire provided data on age, race, rank, current self-reported injury and illness, and tobacco use. Fitness data was obtained from operations office. Results: Cumulative time-loss injury incidence was 31% for men and 54% for women. For men, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, smoking before entering the Army, lower sit-up performance, and slower 2-mile run times. For women, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, and slower 2-mile run times. Conclusion: Smoking cessation and fitness training before entry are potential strategies to reduce injuries among soldiers in the Ordnance School.

The objective of this study was to examine the uptake of Cs+ by common structural materials in the presence of water by using batch experiments with nonradioactive cesium chloride (CsCl133) as a surrogate for the radionuclide. Uptake kinetics and adsorption isotherms of Cs+ were measured on a diverse set of building materials, as were the effects of pH on the sorption processes. The results showed that wood materials, metal filings, and organic building materials and supplies did not sorb significant amounts of Cs+, but red brick, concrete block, drop ceiling panels, and clay materials retained Cs+ strongly. Adsorption kinetics were fast, and sorption isotherms could be characterized as linear. The solution pH did not have a significant effect on Cs+ sorption.

Fifteen adult I. unicuspis attached to paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) were collected in Apr. 2005 from the White River near the confluence of the Black River, Independence and Jackson counties. Twelve (80%) of the I. unicuspis possessed 3 teeth (including the apex) in the anterior row, while the other 3 had 4 teeth in their anterior row; unicuspid teeth arrangement in the lateral row were 3 + 3 for 11 (73%) lampreys while 4 had 4 + 4 teeth in the lateral row. Two additional specimens collected in Apr. 1972 and May 1998 from the Buffalo anti White rivers in Marion and Prairie counties, respectively, and originally identified as Chestnut Lampreys (Ichthyomyzon castaneus), were re-examined and identified as I. unicuspis. The addition of I unicuspis to the lamprey fauna of Arkansas brings to five the number of species currently occurring in the state.

Most writing on this topic has centered on structural issues, such as post-World War II personnel policies. This article will examine this phenomenon between the Korean and Vietnam wars by comparing contemporary publications and retrospective critiques by veterans with internal Army sources, particularly service schools, the headquarters of the Continental Army Command, and Headquarters, Department of the Army. If a crisis in command existed between 1953 and 1965, did these organizations' leaders recognize it and address it?

This essay surveys the existing literature to approach this problem through the interlocking factors of reason and feeling. At first, Americans reconciled these factors, and justified their wars, because republicanism, romantic nationalism, and Victorian culture created the comforting sense of a chosen nation in an orderly, moral cosmos. When two world wars and the Great Depression produced modernist doubt, Americans used nationalism, pragmatism, and faith in technology to guide and sustain them. By the late twentieth century, however, modernist challenges to old universals in a larger and more pluralistic society became harder to reconcile as debates over wars polarized along emotional extremes, while reason's proponents clung to a precarious middle ground. Currently, the prospect of a revived consensus appears remote.

Administrative/office buildings and production and maintenance facilities pose specific challenges to those seeking improved energy management and building energy performance. Questions of energy consumption in these buildings are generally seen as secondary to the improvement of comfort and/or functionality. This is most pronounced within the existing building stock. Decisions to retrofit a building are often made because of dissatisfaction concerning the comfort level or as a consequence of changes in building use or in processes performed in the building. The primary goal of the retrofit is to improve these conditions. Good technologies to meet this end are currently available. The objectives of the International Energy Agency Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) Programme Annex 46 (IEA 2011a) is intended to provide tools and guidelines to identify energy conservation opportunities in buildings and to improve the indoor environment of these buildings in energy-efficient retrofitting projects. Among the tools developed by this project is the Energy and Process Assessment Protocol, which provides an energy assessment methodology and procedure suitable for different types of sites, including a variety of different nonindustrial buildings with energy requirements dominated by climate, and industrial buildings with high energy loads dominated by internal processes and high ventilation requirements per floor space. This paper presents the energy assessment methodology for a single building or a large building stock, along with examples of typical energy wastes and inefficiencies in different types of buildings and typical processes.

A two-dimensional (2D) finite-element framework with explicit crack representation using cohesive-element methodologies is employed. The influence of microcracking is examined by taking the fracture toughness of the cohesive elements as a free parameter. The simulations suggest that an optimum fracture toughness exists for promoting shear localization. This value corresponds to the limiting mode I fracture toughness, below which microscopic material defects lead to brittle compressive failure, as opposed to shear localization. While in the presence of confinement, this value is shown to be close to zero; in the absence of confinement, it is computed to be 28% of the shear band toughness for the specific case of ultrafine-grained tungsten. More generally, it is found that the ratio of mode I fracture toughness to shear band toughness provides a crude indicator for predicting whether material defects are likely to lead to brittle failure or enhanced shear localization.

These articles suggest that the military is superficially investigating evidence that establishes a link between deployment and development of chronic lung disease. Anecdotal cases of military personnel with lung disease are detailed to suggest a systemic problem with undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary disease in deployed service members, Despite these contentions, the U.S. Army Medical Department and other agencies have been actively pursuing numerous scientific investigations into deployment-related lung disease to define the severity and prevalence of the issue. This article will review relevant research efforts by the U.S. military in the existing medical literature and address the current efforts planned by the services to systematically investigate the possibility of deployment-related pulmonary disease.

Methods: Discarded tourniquet devices were analyzed after use in emergency care of war casualties to determine wear and tear patterns, effectiveness rates, and associations among device designs. Results: The 159 devices recovered comprised seven designs. Emergency & Military Tourniquet (92%) and Combat Application Tourniquet (79%) effectiveness rates were significantly different from each other and better than other tourniquets (p < 0.002) as the most effective ambulance and field tourniquets, respectively. Designs had specific pitfalls (e.g., sand-clogged ratchets) and strengths (the pneumatic design was least painful). Every device had wear, abrasions, or deformity about the band edges or bladder. User understanding of how devices work best helped attain better results. Some desirable traits (e.g., one-handed application, use for entrapped limbs) were rarely needed. Tourniquets fit casualty limbs well. Conclusions: Correct user actions (e.g., following the instructions to remove slack before twisting) led to device effectiveness, but misuse did not. Users often assumed that optimal use required more force, but this was associated with misuse. Training should include tourniquet pearls and pitfalls.

A great deal of discussion relates to the delivery of care through a growing military-civilian partnership, where an increased amount of health care will be referred to an ever growing network of civilian providers. The U.S. military establishment now stands at an important crossroad leading into the future of dependent care. However, the special concerns, which arise from the responsibility of caring for military dependents, are not a solely recent phenomenon. Ever since the establishment of a permanent standing U.S. Army in the late 1700s, there have been families in need of medical treatment. Although changes occurred continuously, the development and evolution of policies regulating the delivery of medical care to dependants can be divided into three periods. The first is the longest and ranges from the establishment of the Army until the year 1900. The second period spans from 1900 to the post-Korean War year of 1956. The third and final period is from 1956 to 1975. Special changes and advances in each of these periods have served to shape the face of dependent care in today's Army Medical Department.

BCT has changed considerably since many of these studies were conducted. This study examined Soldiers medically attrited from BCT. Potential attrition risk factor data on recruits (n = 4,005) were collected from medical records, BCT unit records, and questionnaires. Attrition data from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, showed 203 medical discharges. Cox regression (univariate and multivariate) obtained hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for attrition risk factors. Higher attrition risk was associated with female gender. Higher attrition risk for men was associated with cigarette smoking, injury during BCT, and less exercise before BCT. Higher attrition risk for both genders was associated with failure on the initial 2-mile run test and separated or divorced marital status. Attrition risk factors found in this study were similar to those previously identified despite changes in BCT.

JO - Canadian Geotechnical Journal JF - Canadian Geotechnical Journal Y1 - 2011/10// VL - 48 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1504 EP - 1519 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00083674 AB - The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) completed a liquefaction potential analysis as part of the seismic evaluation of Milford Dam in 1986. This paper uses data from the 1986 study to compare fines content data from in situ frozen and standard penetration test (SPT) samples that suggest fines content can be overestimated by 1-10% by SPT samples in stratified sand deposits. This result may have implications for liquefaction assessments because split-spoon samples may overestimate the actual fines content, resulting in a liquefiable deposit being classified as nonliquefiable. In addition, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of ground freezing on maintaining in situ soil structure and aging of the foundation sands at Milford Dam. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Le Corps du génie de l'armée américaine (USACE) a réalisé une analyse du potentiel de liquéfaction dans le cadre d'une évaluation sismique du barrage de Milford en 1986. La présente étude utilise les données recueillies lors de l'étude de 1986 afin de comparer le contenu en particules fines d'échantillons in situ gelés ainsi que d'échantillons provenant d'essais de pénétration standard (EPS). Ces données suggèrent que le contenu en particules fines peut être surestimé de 1 à 10 % pour les échantillons d'EPS prélevés dans des dépôts de sable stratifié. Ce résultat peut avoir des implications dans l'évaluation de la liquéfaction puisque les échantillons de cuillère fendue peuvent surestimer le contenu en particules fines et ainsi le dépôt liquéfiable est classé comme non-liquéfiable. De plus, cet article évalue l'efficacité de conserver le sol gelé pour maintenir la structure in situ du sol et pour le vieillissement des sables de fondation au barrage de Milford.

Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (>1.0 in. in 3 h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin's land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas.

Measured data show a 5.1% rotor power reduction (8.6% rotor lift to effective-drag ratio increase) using 2/rev IBC actuation with 2.0? amplitude at µ = 0.4. At the optimum IBC phase for rotor performance, IBC actuator force (pitch link force) decreased, and neither flap nor chord bending moments changed significantly. CAMRAD II predicts the rotor power variations with the IBC phase reasonably well at µ = 0.35. However, the correlation degrades at µ = 0.4. Coupled CAMRAD II/OVERFLOW 2 shows excellent correlation with the measured rotor power variations with the IBC phase at both µ = 0.35 and µ = 0.4. Maximum reduction of IBC actuator force is better predicted with CAMRAD II, but general trends are better captured with the coupled analysis. The correlation of vibratory hub loads is generally poor by both methods, although the coupled analysis somewhat captures general trends.

A direct time domain numerical integration of the equations in response to suitable excitation was solved using a tight CFD/CSD coupling. Two different excitation methods--swashplate cyclic pitch and blade tip lead-lag force excitations-- were investigated to provide suitable blade transient responses. The free decay transient response time histories were postprocessed using the moving-block method to determine the damping as a function of the rotor operating conditions. Coupled CFD/CSD analysis results are compared with the experimentally measured stability data obtained for a 7.5-ftdiameter Mach-scale hingeless rotor model as well as stability predictions using the comprehensive analysis Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS). The coupled CFD/CSD predictions agreed more closely with the experimental lead-lag damping measurements than RCAS predictions based on conventional aerodynamic methods, better capturing key features in the damping trends.

The model simulates the blast wave reflection from a V-shaped or a cone-shaped structure, the movement of the structure due to the blast impact and the induced shock wave behind the structure. Elliptic grid generation and coordinate transformation are utilized to solve the flow fields in the irregular physical domain. Different types of blast wave reflections, such as normal reflection, oblique reflection and Mach stem reflection, are captured by the numerical model. It is found that the reflected pressure and impulse transmitted to the structure decrease with the increase of incident angle. On the other hand, with the increase of incident angle, the effects of fluid structure interactions (FSI) in reducing the blast loads decreases. The FSI coupled with oblique or Mach stem reflection improves the blast wave mitigation.

Several models of team leadership are reviewed, distinguishing between the leadership of teams from leadership in teams. Shared leadership is a variant of the latter in which everyone on the team is responsible for leadership and where leadership emerges through patterned interactions of team members. Overall, shared leadership appears to be a possibility for the military-and one that is needed because of the increasing complexity of missions-but efforts need to be undertaken to incorporate it into formal training and doctrine.

The unstructured, implicit, Petrov-Galerkin finite-element model relies on computed residuals to automatically adjust the time-step size. The implicit time integration, together with the automatic time-step size selection through PTC, makes the model computationally efficient. The model is verified and applied to several analytic and real-world test cases that exercise model behavior and accuracy for several critical, transcritical, and subcritical flows. The result is an efficient and accurate prediction of both the speed and depth of shock waves as the dam-break flow passes over initially dry and wet land.

The objective of this paper is to quantify the temperature influence on the skid number of asphalt pavement surfaces when measured by the locked-wheel friction tester. Specifically, this study aims to determine an adjustment factor for friction readings to a standard reference temperature, removing the seasonal temperature variations influencing measurements. This allows agencies to improve the comparison of pavement sections and to provide a more objective assessment of pavement conditions for safety. The friction database employed is from the National Center for Asphalt Technology Test Track facility. The data includes friction measurements with a locked-wheel trailer on sections from the 2000 and 2003 research cycles. The approach calculates the temperature adjustment factor, CT, from a grouping of the data by temperature values at the time of the measurements. The results show that it is possible to define a reference temperature to adjust friction measured at any other temperature value. The reference temperature identified is between 19.5°C (67.1°F) and 20.2°C (68.4°F). The study concludes that when testing, if the air temperature is greater than the reference temperature, the friction reading is biased by a positive quantity. Therefore the adjustment factor, CT, reduces the measured friction, whereas for measurements performed at temperatures lower than the reference temperature, CT increases the measured friction.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is currently investigating silicon carbide Super-gate turn-off thyristors (SiC SGTOs) to meet the future pulsed power system requirements for the Army. ARL's methodology is to evaluate the device performance in pulsed power circuits that emulate the electrical stresses that the power devices would encounter in a pulsed power system. Each module being evaluated utilized four 0.6 cm2SiC SGTOs. The packaging design for the module utilizes ThinPak technology. The module has reliably been pulsed over 2000 times at peak currents greater than 8 kA with a pulse width of 170 μs. The module has also been pulsed greater than 3.6 kA at a pulse width of 1 ms, corresponding to an action rate of 7000 A2s and a current density of 2.5 kA/cm2 over the cathode mesa area. This work evaluates SiC SGTO modules under various pulsed conditions. This paper includes details on device structure, module package design, and module pulsed switching and reliability.

The waveplate is a periodic gold/polyimide composite with a physical thickness of λ/10. Our reflection based waveplate has an intensity throughput of 80% at the design frequency of 350 GHz. This is quite high in comparison to transmissive THz components which typically suffer a large insertion loss due to Fresnel reflections. Simulations suggest a halfwave rotation of over 99% of the reflected THz radiation from 320 - 372 GHz. Experiments at 350 GHz confirm the basic operation of our electromagnetic composite as a functional half waveplate.

Short-time molecular displacement dynamics of a flowing liquid within these structures are shown to reveal a well-defined characteristic transport length scale. The non-equilibrium statistical mechanics theory of dispersion is used to interpret the unique displacement dynamics. Scaling of data from experiment, simulation, and the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics model by the transport length scale collapses the dynamics to dimensionless scaling. Asymptotic dispersion dynamics from NMR experiment are presented as function of Peclet number defined using the transport length scale.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 137 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 663 EP - 677 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339364 AB - In this research, variation is defined as the time difference between what was planned and what actually happened in terms of task starting times and duration. Variation in construction tasks is important as it can impact productivity performance. Construction projects consist of a large number of interdependent tasks. When the starting time and/or duration of one task varies, it can affect other downstream tasks and result in disruptions to the schedule and/or decreased productivity. The construction process is complex and involves numerous people with different levels of responsibility, which makes identifying the root causes of the variation difficult. A nationwide survey was administered to workers, foremen, and project managers to identify the most prevalent causes and magnitude of both starting time and task duration variation. Fifty individual causes of variation were divided into eight categories: prerequisite work, detailed design/working method, labor force, tools and equipment, material and components, work/job site conditions, management/supervision/information flow, and weather or external conditions. This research examined the similarities and differences in perceptions between craft workers, foremen, and project managers in terms of starting time and task duration variation. The top eight causes of starting time variation and top nine causes of task duration variation were identified. The research also quantitatively analyzed the underlying structure of the causes of variation using factor analysis. This was done by grouping the 50 individual causes into nine orthogonal factors that represent the underlying structure of the affecting causes. The findings will help construction project managers and field managers focus on the root causes of variation during planning in order to develop effective strategies to reduce variation and improve project productivity performance.

Few studies have described the distribution and trends of MVCs among Army personnel, which may have been impacted by current military missions. This descriptive study of risk factors and select outcomes is from safety report data maintained by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on 11,469 active duty Army personnel involved in MVCs, 1999-2006. The majority (66%) of Soldiers in MVCs were in military vehicles within the continental United States (68%). The average age of individuals involved in MVCs was 27.7 years old. Males had a consistently higher MVC rate than females. The average cost per MVC related to property damage and injuries was $36,039 and $24,038, respectively. Results suggest a need for additional exploration of MVCs involving Army vehicles, which were the most common and among the most costly.

Here we applied an emerging technique, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), to image specific fatty acids in a favorable model system for chemical analyses of brain circuits, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata). The zebra finch, a songbird, produces complex learned vocalizations under the control of an interconnected set of discrete, dedicated brain nuclei 'song nuclei'. Using ToF-SIMS, the major song nuclei were visualized by virtue of differences in their content of essential and non-essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids (arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) showed distinctive distributions across the song nuclei, and the 18-carbon fatty acids stearate and oleate discriminated the different core and shell subregions of the lateral magnocellular nucleus of the anterior nidopallium. Principal component analysis of the spectral data set provided further evidence of chemical distinctions between the song nuclei. By analyzing the robust nucleus of the arcopallium at three different ages during juvenile song learning, we obtain the first direct evidence of changes in lipid content that correlate with progression of song learning. The results demonstrate the value of ToF-SIMS to study lipids in a favorable model system for probing the function of lipids in brain organization, development and function.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2011/08// VL - 139 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2488 EP - 2522 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - Hurricane Gustav (2008) made landfall in southern Louisiana on 1 September 2008 with its eye never closer than 75 km to New Orleans, but its waves and storm surge threatened to flood the city. Easterly tropical-storm-strength winds impacted the region east of the Mississippi River for 12--15 h, allowing for early surge to develop up to 3.5 m there and enter the river and the city''s navigation canals. During landfall, winds shifted from easterly to southerly, resulting in late surge development and propagation over more than 70 km of marshes on the river''s west bank, over more than 40 km of Caernarvon marsh on the east bank, and into Lake Pontchartrain to the north. Wind waves with estimated significant heights of 15 m developed in the deep Gulf of Mexico but were reduced in size once they reached the continental shelf. The barrier islands further dissipated the waves, and locally generated seas existed behind these effective breaking zones. The hardening and innovative deployment of gauges since Hurricane Katrina (2005) resulted in a wealth of measured data for Gustav. A total of 39 wind wave time histories, 362 water level time histories, and 82 high water marks were available to describe the event. Computational models--including a structured-mesh deepwater wave model (WAM) and a nearshore steady-state wave (STWAVE) model, as well as an unstructured-mesh ''simulating waves nearshore'' (SWAN) wave model and an advanced circulation (ADCIRC) model--resolve the region with unprecedented levels of detail, with an unstructured mesh spacing of 100--200 m in the wave-breaking zones and 20--50 m in the small-scale channels. Data-assimilated winds were applied using NOAA''s Hurricane Research Division Wind Analysis System (H**Wind) and Interactive Objective Kinematic Analysis (IOKA) procedures. Wave and surge computations from these models are validated comprehensively at the measurement locations ranging from the deep Gulf of Mexico and along the coast to the rivers and floodplains of southern Louisiana and are described and quantified within the context of the evolution of the storm.

Although the model is an improvement over the inviscid cap model, it does not update soil density and bulk modulus as the shock wave propagates through the soil. Further, soil should be modeled as a three-phase porous media to accommodate various degrees of water saturation. This is especially true for the soil mass surrounding the source of energy release because each of the three phases responds differently to shock loading. A revised cap model comprising a Gruneisen equation of state for each of the three phases has been developed. These equations of state for solid, water, and air have been integrated with the viscoplastic cap model to simulate behaviors of soil with different degrees of water saturation. Numerical results from this revised soil cap model compared closely with experimental data from explosive tests in both dry and saturated soil.

Background: The United States is engaged in an unprecedented healthcare building boom driven by the need to replace aging facilities, understand the impact of the built environment on quality and safety, incorporate rapidly emerging technologies, and enhance patient- and family-centered care. More importantly, there is heightened attention to creating optimal physical environments to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients, families, and staff. Methods: Using a pre-post descriptive survey design, all nursing, social work, therapy staff, and families on selected inpatient units were invited to participate. A demographic form and Family and Staff Satisfaction Surveys were developed and administered pre- and post-occupancy of the new facility. Results: Pre/post mean scores for staff satisfaction improved on all survey subscales with statistically significant improvement (p < .05) in most areas. The most improvement was seen with layout of the patient room, natural light, storage and writing surfaces, and comfort and appeal. Family satisfaction demonstrated statistically significant improvement on all subscales (p ≤ .01), especially for natural light, quiet space, parking, and the child's room as a healing environment. Conclusions: Families and staff reported greater satisfaction with the newly built hospital environment compared to the old facility. Study results will help guide future architectural design decisions, attract and retain staff at a world-class facility, and create the most effective healing environments.

To describe the fate of contaminants through landscape media as well as spatial variations of contaminant distributions, physical transport and transformation processes in CTT&F are simulated for each cell in the model and routed to the watershed outlet. CTT&F simulates contaminant erosion from soil and transport across the land surface by overland flow. The model also simulates contaminant erosion from stream bed sediment and transport through channels in addition to transport of contaminants inputs by overland flow. CTT&F can simulate solid (granular) contaminant transport and transformation, including partitioning between freely dissolved, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) bound, and particle-sorbed phases. To demonstrate model capabilities, CTT&F was coupled with an existing distributed hydrologic model and was tested and validated to simulate RDX and TNT transport using two experimental plots. These experiments examined dissolution of solid contaminants into the dissolved phase and their subsequent transport to the plot outlet. Model results were in close agreement with measured data. Such a model provides information for decision makers to make rational decisions relevant to the fate of toxic compounds.

Accordingly, a series of experiments were performed to obtain site-specific sorption coefficients (Kd) for use in computer simulations. Experiments employing aqueous, reagent-grade contaminants, with a biocide added, showed NG underwent limited sorption onto the sandy soil from the study area. DNTs were retained to a greater extent. Desorption experiments demonstrated a portion of the contaminants were irreversibly bound. Soil characteristics had a significant effect on Kd, apparently because of changes in organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, and/or clay content with depth in the soil profile. Experiments with NG containing soil, fresh, unfired propellant, or with freshly fired propellant produced partitioning values considerably higher than those observed with reagent grade material added from solution—demonstrating dissolution as the rate-limiting step. The apparent Kd also increased significantly when no biocide was used, thereby indicating a major role for biodegradation. In addition, NG and the DNTs introduced during military training did not leach from site soil at the small arms ranges studied. Taken together these data demonstrate that Kds from laboratory experiments using dissolved reagent-grade compounds are not appropriate for predicting NG and DNT mobility in the field.

SN - 08949867 AB - Transition home following a combat deployment involves a period of adjustment. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of a new 16-item transition scale were conducted with 2 samples and resulted in 4 factors (Benefit, Appreciation, Anger/Alienation, and Guilt/Remorse). In Study 1 (N = 1,651), the number of combat events was positively related to Anger/Alienation 4 months later even after controlling for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, partial r = .18, p < .001. In Study 2 (N = 647), after controlling for PTSD symptoms, Anger/Alienation assessed at 4 months postdeployment predicted more risk-taking behaviors 4 months later, partial r = .10, p = .01. Appreciation predicted fewer unhealthy habits, partial r = −.13, p = .001, whereas Anger/Alienation predicted more unhealthy habits, partial r = .09, p = .024. Results demonstrate the importance of broadening the conceptualization of adjustment in combat veterans.

JO - Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering JF - Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering Y1 - 2011/08// VL - 137 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 501 EP - 512 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339437 AB - In many agricultural regions of the West, decades of intensive irrigation have produced shallow water tables under not only cultivated fields but also the nearby uncultivated land. It is possible that the high water tables under the uncultivated lands are substantially increasing evapotranspiration (ET) rates, which would represent an unnatural and potentially nonbeneficial consumptive use. The objective of this paper is to quantify loss of water that occurs from uncultivated lands in a semiarid irrigated river valley (the Lower Arkansas River Valley in southeastern Colorado). A remote-sensing algorithm is used to estimate actual ET rates on 16 dates on the basis of Landsat satellite images. On the same dates, water table depths, soil moisture values, and soil water salinities are measured at up to 84 wells distributed across three study sites. On the basis of a water balance of the root zone, it is estimated that 78% of the ET is supplied by groundwater upflux at these sites. It is also observed that the ET and groundwater upflux decrease with increasing water table depth. A regression analysis indicates that the spatial variations in ET are most closely related to variations in vegetation-related attributes, whereas soil moisture and water table depths also explain substantial amounts of the variation. Valley-wide implications for reducing nonbeneficial ET through water table control also are discussed.

We aimed to report the military-relevant functional outcomes after plate fixation. We performed a nested cross-sectional analysis of active duty service members enrolled in an ongoing multicenter, randomized trial on clavicle plating. For this analysis, we included subjects with >6 months follow-up. Outcome measures included radiographic appearance, physical examination, a military-specific questionnaire, and validated shoulder surveys. Mean follow-up for 28 clavicle fractures was 13 months. Union rate by 12 weeks was 93% (26/28). There was one case of soft tissue irritation requiring hardware removal. At latest follow-up, 75% of patients were satisfied; 68% had mild/no pain; 79% had full range of motion; 75% could perform push-ups; and 21% have deployed. For the majority of active duty personnel, rapid healing, return to military-specific tasks, and satisfaction with outcome are possible after plate fixation of clavicle fractures. However, approximately 25% report some functional limitations at 1 year.

Current research is limited to body region affected by the injury. Objective: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal diagnoses and mechanisms of injury (MOI) as well as associations to specific Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in a deployed Brigade Combat Team (BCT). Methods: Data collected on 3,066 patient encounters by the Brigade Combat Team physical therapist over 15 months were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ;(2 tests. Results: Mechanical low back pain was the most common diagnosis (19%), whereas overuse was the most prevalent MOI (22%). The Infantry MOS was significantly associated with meniscal tears and pre-existing injuries, the Maintenance MOS with contusions, Signal and Transportation MOSs with weight lifting injuries, and the Administrative MOS with running injuries. Conclusion: Different MOSs are preferentially susceptible to different diagnoses and MOls. Therefore, different injury prevention strategies may be needed across occupations.

The Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America harbours many rare and endemic species, yet their evolution is poorly understood. We investigate the rare Sandhills lily ( Lilium pyrophilum), which is endemic to seepage slopes in a restricted area of the Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America. Using phylogenetic evidence from chloroplast, nuclear internal transcribed spacer and two low-copy nuclear genes, we establish a close relationship between L. pyrophilum and the widespread Turk's cap lily, L. superbum. Isolation-with-migration and coalescent simulation analyses suggest that (i) the divergence between these two species falls in the late Pleistocene or Holocene and almost certainly post-dates the establishment of the edaphic conditions to which L. pyrophilum is presently restricted, (ii) vicariance is responsible for the present range disjunction between the two species, and that subsequent gene flow has been asymmetrical and (iii) L. pyrophilum harbours substantial genetic diversity in spite of its present rarity. This system provides an example of the role of edaphic specialization and climate change in promoting diversification in the Atlantic coastal plain.

Deployment of U.S. Forces overseas and Joint Service operations have increased, and large numbers of troops are currently deployed for long periods of time. Concerns of adverse health effects from environmental exposures, similar to the concerns about exposures to oil well fires in Gulf War I, continue to occur today. Although progress has been made in developing Joint Service policies for training and conducting environmental sampling, the military doctrine that drives this training and allows for the purchase of updated sampling equipment has been slow to respond to changes, thus resulting in conflicts between current technology and assets available in the field. The military needs to remain flexible to new technology and new requirements, and must standardize doctrine and training across the services, and acquire standardized, state-of-the-art sampling equipment to improve field assets.

A commander's focus is on preventing acute health risks, such as diarrhea, because these quickly compromise the mission. However, in recent conflicts chronic and long-term illness risks have emerged as concerns. Department of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff mandates require documentation of exposures and environmental conditions to reconstruct exposures and evaluate future health risks. Current processes for identifying and assessing hazards, including identification and assessment before deployment and in time to take action to prevent or reduce exposures, when followed, are generally adequate for known hazards. Identifying and addressing novel, unexpected risks remain challenges. Armed conflicts are associated with rapidly changing conditions, making ongoing hazard identification and assessment difficult. Therefore, surveillance of the environment for hazards and surveillance of personnel for morbidity must be practiced at all times. Communication of risk information to decision makers is critical but problematic. Preventive Medicine (PM) personnel should take responsibility for communicating this information to non-PM military medical people and to military commanders. Communication of risks identified and lessons learned between PM personnel of different military units is extremely important when one military unit replaces another in a deployed environment.

However, environmental samples collected for undefined or poorly defined reasons and that are not part of a feasible strategy of hazard identification, intervention, and follow-up will likely be of limited value. Military commanders and their advisors must be aware of the need to quickly identity potential hazards and to respond appropriately with a comprehensive plan that may include sampling. Before samples are collected, the following must be adequately addressed: (1) the reason for sampling, (2) the parameters to be measured, (3) the possible range of results that might be obtained, and (4) the actions that will be taken in response to various results. Additionally. communication of the risks to commanders and the potentially exposed population is important, particularly if the results are inconclusive.

The DoD has made significant improvements in documenting and assessing deployment environmental hazards and threats since 1991, illustrated by accomplishments in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Operations Noble Eagle (following the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks); Enduring Freedom-Afghanistan; and Iraqi Freedom (2003-2010). Sampling is now recommended as part of the DoD Exposure Assessment Method, a dynamic process that is performed during all phases of military operations: l--Predeployment, II--Mobilization, III--Conflict, and IV--Postdeployment. From 2001 to 2009, deployed personnel collected over 24,500 air, water, soil, and bulk samples during operations. These efforts have lead to the creation of an environmental health surveillance database that has been used to investigate public health issues. However, gaps exist, especially in the assessment of individual exposures during deployment.

Health effects possibly associated with these exposures were cause for concern among service members, veterans, and military and civilian leaders. A need for the military to effectively respond to these exposures, and more importantly, to assess and mitigate exposures before deployments and to conduct environmental surveillance during deployments was identified. The Department of Defense encountered many obstacles in dealing with the exposures of 1991. Even though these obstacles were being identified, and in some cases, addressed, responses to historical exposure concerns continued to be reactive. In 1996, efforts were intensified to improve policy and doctrine, field sampling equipment, risk assessment processes, geographic information systems, and other tools needed to effectively identify and reduce the impact of exposures before troops deploy and to conduct environmental surveillance while deployed. Success in these efforts resulted in a comprehensive, planned approach being implemented to address environmental health concerns during the 1999 Kosovo deployment.

Continental U.S. Transect Reveals Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2011/07// VL - 6 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been devastating amphibians globally. Two general scenarios have been proposed for the nature and spread of this pathogen: Bd is an epidemic, spreading as a wave and wiping out individuals, populations, and species in its path; and Bd is endemic, widespread throughout many geographic regions on every continent except Antarctica. To explore these hypotheses, we conducted a transcontinental transect of United States Department of Defense (DoD) installations along U.S. Highway 66 from California to central Illinois, and continuing eastward to the Atlantic Seaboard along U.S. Interstate 64 (in sum from Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California to Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia). We addressed the following questions: 1) Does Bd occur in amphibian populations on protected DoD environments? 2) Is there a temporal pattern to the presence of Bd? 3) Is there a spatial pattern to the presence of Bd? and 4) In these limited human-traffic areas, is Bd acting as an epidemic (i.e., with evidence of recent introduction and/or dieoffs due to chytridiomycosis), or as an endemic (present without clinical signs of disease)? Bd was detected on 13 of the 15 bases sampled. Samples from 30 amphibian species were collected (10% of known United States' species); half (15) tested Bd positive. There was a strong temporal (seasonal) component; in total, 78.5% of all positive samples came in the first (spring/early-summer) sampling period. There was also a strong spatial component--the eleven temperate DoD installations had higher prevalences of Bd infection (20.8%) than the four arid (<60 mm annual precipitation) bases (8.5%). These data support the conclusion that Bd is now widespread, and promote the idea that Bd can today be considered endemic across much of North America, extending from coast-to-coast, with the exception of remote pockets of nai&vuml;e populations.

Streamflow timing shifts associated with climate change would degrade the water resources system performance for climate change scenarios using existing system operation policies for the Columbia River Basin. To mitigate the hydrologic impacts of anticipated climate change on this complex water resource system, optimized flood control operating rule curves were developed at a monthly time step in a previous study and were evaluated with a monthly time-step simulation model. Here, a daily time-step simulation model is used over a smaller portion of the domain to evaluate and refine the optimized flood-control curves derived from monthly time-step analysis. Daily time-step simulations demonstrate that maximum evacuation targets for flood control derived from the monthly analysis were remarkably robust. However, the evacuation schedules for Libby and Duncan Dams from February to April conflicted with Kootenay Lake level requirements specified in the 1938 International Joint Commission Order on Kootenay Lake. We refined the flood rule curves derived from monthly analysis by creating a gradual evacuation schedule, keeping the timing and magnitude of maximum evacuation the same as in the monthly analysis. After these refinements, the performance at monthly timescales reported in our previous study proved robust at daily timescales. Owing to a decrease in July storage deficits, additional benefits such as more revenue from hydropower generation and more July and August outflow for fish augmentation were observed when the optimized flood-control curves were used for a climate-change scenario.

Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%). Implications for understanding suicide among military personnel are discussed.

The method validated herein consists of measuring rates of bed scour by using time-sequenced bathymetric data. The validation is performed in a laboratory flume by comparing the measured rates of bed scour with direct measurements of bed-load transport. The bed forms in the flume are dunes traveling at nearly constant speed. The shape of the dunes remains nearly constant. No suspended load is present. The ranges for Froude and Rouse numbers are 0.24-0.50 and 4.6-10.4, respectively. The study shows that under the given conditions, bed-load transport determined from time-sequenced bathymetric data is equally accurate to that determined from measurements of bed-form amplitude and speed. Obtaining bed-load transport from time-sequenced bathymetric data is often more expedient than traditional methods.

SN - 07490208 AB - To establish existing conditions for dredge material beneficial use projects and to help implement principles of Regional Sediment Management (RSM) into projects and studies, this paper is an assessment of sediment sources and sinks, physical processes, and longshore sediment transport along the west and south shore of Lake Erie. This summary compiles information from a widely scattered technical literature and synthesizes the results in preparation for development of a sediment budget. The U.S. shore of Lake Erie has 28 river or harbor mouths protected with jetties and structures, of which 16 are Federal navigation projects. Much of the sediment management since the mid-1800s has revolved around providing safe navigation, maintaining depth in navigation channels, and disposing of the dredged material. Sediment sources include material brought down the rivers (often fine-grained); industrial dumping and runoff from sewers, gravel, sand, and clay eroded from glacial till bluffs and clay banks; sediment created in situ from bedrock bluff weathering (primarily from shale); and limited supply from lake bed lowering and offshore outcrops. Losses include wave- and ice-induced transport to deep water, sediment trapped in fillets at harbor jetties, sediment dredged from harbor entrance channel and placed in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) or placed offshore, bluff armoring, and formerly) beach mining. Today, the south shore of Lake Erie is severely sand-starved compared with conditions that existed 200 years ago. The lack of available sediment is largely due to man-made causes. As the shore developed and became urbanized after the mid-1800s, residents, industries, and municipalities attempted to arrest bluff erosion with the use of structures and vegetation. Now the U.S. shoreline of Lake Erie is almost 83% protected, a larger percentage than any ocean coast except in urban areas. It means that little sediment exchange occurs compared with predeveloped conditions, which, in turn, means that managers must recycle and reuse existing sediment to maintain recreation beaches. Managing sediment to benefit a region sustainably potentially will save money, allow use of natural processes to solve engineering problems, and improve recreation resources and natural habitat.

To check these new and important results, we continued critical evaluation of tourniquet use for 6 more months in the current study to see if results were consistent. Methods: We continued a prospective survey of casualties and their records at a combat support hospital in Baghdad who had tourniquets used at a combat hospital in Baghdad (NCT00517166 at ClinicalTrials.gov). Results: After comparable methods were verified for both the first and current studies, we report the results of 499 patients who had 862 tourniquets applied on 651 limbs. The clinical results were consistent. No limbs were lost from tourniquet use. Conclusion: We found that morbidity was minor in light of major survival benefits consistent with prior reports.

However, widespread use of such hybrid armor will require a reliable but fast NDE methodology to ensure integrity of these components during manufacturing and while in service. Traditional ultrasonic inspection of such hybrid armor structures may prove to be very effective, but point-by-point ultrasonic scanning is inherently time-consuming and manufacturing slowdowns could develop in high-volume production of such armor systems. In this paper, we report on the application of acoustography for the NDE of hybrid armor structures. Acoustography differs from conventional ultrasonic testing in that test objects are inspected in full field, analogously to real time x-ray imaging. The approach uses a novel, super high resolution large area acousto-optic (AO) sensor, which allows image formation through simple ultrasound shadow casting, analogous to x-ray image formation. This NDE approach offers significant inspection speed advantage over conventional point-by-point ultrasonic scanning procedures and is well-suited for high volume production. We will report initial results on a number of hybrid armor plate specimens employing composite materials that are being investigated by the US Army. Acoustography NDE results will also be verified using other complimentary NDE methods.

Low velocity impact damage can limit visibility and compromise the structural integrity of a transparent system, increasing the likelihood of further damage or penetration from a high velocity impact strike. For this reason, it is critical to determine damage tolerance levels of transparent systems to indicate whether or not a component should be replaced. In this study, transparent laminate systems will be tested by comparing baseline conditions to experimentally controlled damage states. Destructive testing including air gun and sphere impact testing will be used to replicate low velocity impacts in the field. Characterization of the damaged state will include basic visual inspection as well as nondestructive techniques including cross-polarization, x-ray, and ultrasound. The combination of destructive testing and characterization of the resulting damage can help to establish a damage acceptance criterion for materials used in protective systems.

Ceramic materials are currently combined with other materials in these types of structures in order to decrease weight without losing ballistic performance. This includes structures in which the ceramic material is confined in some way and in which the ceramic material is completely encapsulated. Confinement or encapsulation of ceramic material within a structure generally adds complexity and cost. Relatively simple panel specimens fabricated with ceramic tiles on aluminum backings and side confinement using steel were evaluated using nondestructive methods, including x-ray computed tomography and ultrasonic testing. The nondestructive evaluation results will be discussed and compared, including the detectability and mapping of fabrication features.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 6 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Deliberate and natural outbreaks of infectious disease, the prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains, and the ease by which antibiotic resistant bacteria can be intentionally engineered all underscore the necessity of effective vaccines and continued development of novel antimicrobial/antiviral therapeutics. Isoprenes, a group of molecules fundamentally involved in a variety of crucial biological functions, are derived from either the mevalonic acid (MVA) or methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. While mammals utilize the MVA pathway, many bacteria utilize the MEP pathway, highlighting the latter as an attractive target for antibiotic development. In this report we describe the cloning and characterization of Francisella tularensis MEP cytidylyltransferase, a MEP pathway enzyme and potential target for antibiotic development. Size exclusion chromatography indicates the protein exists as a dimer in solution. Enzyme assays produced an apparent KMEP M=178&mgr;M, KCTPM=73&mgr;M, kMEPcat=1 s-1, kCTPcat=0.8 s-1, and a kMEPcat/KMEPM=3.4×105M-1 min-1. The enzyme exhibits a strict preference for Mg+2 as a divalent cation and CTP as the nucleotide. Titanium dioxide chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry identified Thr141 as a site of phosphorylation. T141D and T141E site-directed mutants are catalytically inactive, suggesting a mechanism for post-translational control of metabolic flux through the F. tularensis MEP pathway. Overall, our study suggests that MEP cytidylyltransferase is an excellent target for the development of novel antibiotics against F. tularensis.

JO - American Journal of Audiology JF - American Journal of Audiology Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 20 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 33 EP - 41 PB - American Speech-Language-Hearing Association SN - 10590889 AB - Purpose: To evaluate noise-induced hearing injury (NIHI) and blast-related comorbidities among U.S. Army soldiers in an effort to understand the morbidity burden and future health service requirements for wounded war fighters returning from the Central Command Area of Responsibility, predominantly from Iraq and Afghanistan deployments. Method: Inpatient and outpatient records with diagnosed NIHI or blast-related comorbidities (e.g., significant threshold shift [STS], noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, eardrum perforations, mild traumatic brain injury, and posttraumatic stress disorder) were extracted for active duty soldiers returning from combat deployments. Records were limited to those within 6 months of the soldier's return date from April 2003 through June 2009. To account for changes in STS coding practice, STS rates observed after October 1, 2006, were used to extrapolate prior probable postdeployment STS. Results: Statistically significant increases were observed for tinnitus, dizziness, eardrum perforations, and speech-language disorders. The combination of observed and extrapolated STS yielded a conservative estimate of 27,427 cases. Conclusions: Estimates can be used to forecast resource requirements for hearing services among veterans. This article could serve as a guide for resourcing and innovating prevention measures and treatment in this population. Data provided may also serve as a baseline for evaluating prevention measures.

The NSERC has created an experimental pyroelectric crystal accelerator program to enhance undergraduate education at USMA in the Department of Physics and Nuclear Engineering. This program provides cadets with hands-on experience in designing their own experiments using an inexpensive tabletop accelerator. This device uses pyroelectric crystals to ionize and accelerate gas ions to energies of ∼100 keV. Within the next year, cadets and faculty at USMA will use this device to create neutrons through the deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion process, effectively creating a compact, portable neutron generator. The double crystal pyroelectric accelerator will also be used by students to investigate neutron, x-ray, and ion spectroscopy.

SN - 07490208 AB - This study evaluated the potential increase in shoaling and associated sources of sediment as a result of proposed channel improvements for the Houma Navigation Channel in the vicinity of Cat Island Pass, Louisiana. Using morphologic change data and historical maintenance dredging rates, historical and forecasted with-deepening sediment budgets were developed. Conclusions from this study were that deepening the channel from 5.5 m to 6.1 m relative to Mean Low Gulf, a local low water datum, would increase the shoaling rate from the present 191,000 m3/year to 220,000 m3/year, and the likely source of shoaling would be sediment that is presently bypassed naturally. It was recommended that all environmentally-acceptable sediment dredged from Cat Island Pass be placed on the downdrift barrier island, East Island, part of the Isle Dernieres barrier island system. Clays and silts should be placed on the bayside of the island and sand similar to or coarser than the existing beach sand should be placed downdrift of the nodal zone on the Gulf side of East Island. Historically, sediment dredged from Cat Island Pass has been placed in designated dredged material disposal sites located 760 m west of the channel. Based on morphologic change in the region from 1980 to 2006, it appears that sediment may be transported from this placement site to deposit back into the channel. It is recommended that, if sediment cannot be placed on either East Island or Timbalier Island, that the dredged material disposal site be moved further to the west, away from the channel. Finally, based on movement of Timbalier Island and Cat Island Pass over the past 100 years, it is recommended that the channel be moved further to the west to avoid future impingement by Timbalier Island. Based on the results of this and other studies of the Houma Navigation Channel, channel realignment was approved in 2009, and authorization of the deepened channel is being requested during 2010.

SN - 07490208 AB - An experimental shoreline protection project in Jefferson County, TX was constructed and monitored as part of the National Shoreline Erosion Control Development and Demonstration Program. The project determined the effectiveness of a nontraditional, low volume beach fill at reducing erosion of underlying clay layers and evaluated the performance of a clay core dune compared with that of a sand filled dune. Four cells were constructed on the beach face having 0.18 or 0.25 mm sand and fill volumes of 6 or 12 cy/ft. A fifth control cell had no fill. A 2500 ft long dune was constructed, with half being composed entirely of sand and half being composed of a clay core and sand cap. The project was constructed during the summer of 2004 and was impacted by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 and later by the same storm as Tropical Storm Ivan in October 2004. An evaluation of profiles and other data taken before, between, and after these storms shows that the clay core dune survived the storms much more intact than the dune constructed entirely of sand. The clay core dune suffered minor scarping at its seaward toe, while up to the seaward half of the sand dune was removed in some sections. The results of the low volume beach fill were also promising. The fill performed well by protecting the underlying clay layer from erosion, but interpretation of the results is complicated by the presence of geotextile tube groins that were placed to contain the fill.

SN - 07490208 AB - Westhampton Beach is located on the barrier island between Moriches Inlet and Shinnecock Inlet, along the south shore of Long Island, New York. This vulnerable area has been subject to a number of beach erosion control measures under the authority of the Fire Island to Montauk Point, New York Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection (FIMP) project as well as the related Westhampton Interim Project The Westhampton Interim Project, initiated in 1996, provided for beachfill placement, dune construction west of the groin field, periodic beachfill renourishment until 2027, and a tapering of the groins at the western edge of the groin field in order to provide a smooth transition to the downdrift barrier beaches. Project coastal processes monitoring since 1996 has shown that the shoreline position in the project area has been stable and there has been volumetric growth of the dune field west of the groin field. The 10-year average volumetric loss in the project area of 180,000 cubic yards per year is very similar to the 759,000 cubic yards (190,000 cubic yards per year) renourishment volume placed in 2005 after a four-year renourishment cycle. The largest rate of dune growth west of the groin field from initial construction to February 2009 is approximately 2.0 cy/ft-yr while the average rate of growth is 1.25 cy/ft-yr. Good stewardship of the beach and dune system will allow the Westhampton Interim Project to be maintained and provide the storm damage reduction purposes for which it was designed.

SN - 07490208 AB - Tróia peninsula, located on the western coast of Portugal, is undergoing tourism development, including construction of a marina. The marina basin was created by dredging a coastal stretch on the northern terminus of the peninsula on the estuarine side, making available beach-quality sediment for nourishment. A study was carried out to identify potential applications and opportunities to place the dredged sand in a beneficial manner. Many variables were considered in the study design in incorporating pre-project beach profile surveys and sediment sampling. Beach-fill design and placement procedures were proposed according to the purpose and constraints of the particular site, while recognizing the implications of the nourishment in a regional sediment management context. Between October 2006 and March 2007, 286,000 m3 of sand was placed along four beach sectors with a total alongshore extent of 1,700 m in the vicinity of the new marina and the Tróia Roman Ruins archeological site. The emplacements included dune, beach berm, and beach face nourishment, providing restoration of beaches and dunes and also increased buffering capacity in an area of damage to cultural resources of the peninsula. A monitoring program was deployed to assess performance and impacts of the nourishment on adjacent areas, and to identify problems and their causes. The surveys of August 2007 indicate that a significant part of the emplaced sand had been mobilized alongshore promoting the spreading of the fill material to down-drift areas while inducing a general reduction in the beach face slope, and attaining a more natural beach profile.

SN - 07490208 AB - Coastal barrier islands are natural lines of defense and an integral part of a comprehensive flood risk reduction and management plan. A high resolution numerical modeling system capable of representing complicated coastal landscapes and simulating all the primary relevant physical processes is applied to better understand the influence of barrier island restoration on hurricane surge propagation. Model results indicate that barrier island restoration may significantly alter surge pathways and flood volumes of surge reaching inland coastal areas as open water passes become the dominant flow mechanism during a storm event. However, the exclusion of the morphologic evolution of a barrier island during a storm's passage is a significant limitation with the existing numerical models and is currently under development. The results in this paper demonstrate the need to include morphologic changes to fully evaluate the impact barrier islands have on water levels at the mainland coast.

SN - 07490208 AB - The shoreline stabilization adjacent to the public access boat ramp in the Packery Channel basin has been damaged in two separate events. For the shoreline damage at the boat ramp bulkhead, toe scour is the likely mechanism for failure. Typical sources of hydrodynamic forcing that can lead to toe erosion include storm currents, locally generated storm waves, and offshore storm waves propagating into the basin through Packery Channel. Quantitative analysis of storm induced wind generated waves and currents eliminated them as possible causes of the damage. However, photographic and movie evidence indicate the presence of low-frequency low-amplitude waves propagated into the basin and impacted the boat ramp. The Coastal System Model (CMS) was used to simulate a range of these low-frequency low-amplitude waves and the results demonstrated that these waves could produce sufficient flows in the vicinity of the boat ramp shoreline to cause the damage. Subsequent modeling was used to develop design criteria for additional shoreline stabilization.

SN - 07490208 AB - This paper reviews the 25-plus year history of significant developments of the GENESIS shoreline response model. Topics discussed are line sources and sinks of sand, representation of shore-normal structures including natural sand bypassing, wave transmission by and shoreline response to shore-parallel structures, seawalls, migrating longshore sand waves, seasonal variation by cross-shore sand transport, sand transport due to tidal and wind-generated currents, preservation of the regional shape of the shoreline, and the interaction between the beach berm and the dunes behind it. Such developments have been done in a consistent way, based on thorough literature reviews, beta testing, comparison to beach behavior, and quality control. The challenges have been not only to represent the features themselves, but to be consistent to the basic assumptions of shoreline modeling theory. Through these added capabilities, GENESIS has evolved to meet the challenges of modern, multi-scale, long-term coastal engineering applications.

SN - 07490208 AB - Georgica Pond, on Long Island's ocean coast in East Hampton, NY, is normally separated from the ocean by a beach about 100 m wide, but mechanically opened to the Atlantic Ocean. Observations of the breach were made for three days, until it closed naturally. A channel 6 m wide was dug on April 23, 2008. The water level in the Pond was initially 1.46 m higher than the ocean. Upon completion of the channel, pond water rushed seaward through the new inlet at a speed reaching 3.7 m/sec. The flow was supercritical with a hydraulic jump forming at the inlet mouth. The cut widened in an hour by the progressive, sudden collapse of steep sections of bank along its length, growing at a rate of about 0.2 m/min, then slowing to about 0.1 m/min, eventually stabilizing at a width of 43 m. Forty-two hours after opening, the salinity in the pond suddenly jumped from 7 to 19. Pond salinity reached 26 about four days after the inlet opened. Over the course of five days, the water level in the pond fell 0.5 m, draining 530,000 m3 of water into the ocean. About 3,800 m3 of sand formed an ephemeral ebb shoal that was gradually swept to the west and back into the western beaches by wave-induced longshore transport. The inlet closed by April 28. On May 2, 8.5 days after the opening, salinity dropped to 13 and continued to fall slowly as freshwater drained into the pond.

SN - 07490208 AB - Shark River Inlet, located on the north New Jersey coast, is served by a federal navigation channel that has until recently required little maintenance dredging. Although possessing a small estuary, the inlet is hydraulically efficient because of the small width to depth ratio of its entrance that is stabilized by parallel jetties. After placement of approximately 4.8 million m3 of beach nourishment to the north and south of the inlet as part of an erosion-control project conducted in the late 1990s, inlet maintenance increased beyond that anticipated. Analysis of channel and nearshore surveys indicates that an ebb-tidal delta is forming where none had existed previously, attributed to the recent availability of sand from the beach nourishment and a lack of sand prior to that construction. Jetty tip shoals also encroach on the channel, dependent on season, with longshore transport directed primarily to the north during summer (the predominant direction of transport) and to the south during winter. Formation of the ebb delta must be accounted for in the sand budget of the adjacent beaches. After conducting a GIS analysis of ebb delta growth to understand geomorphic trends, the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) was established to numerically simulate waves, current, sand transport, and morphology change. The CMS reproduced observed trends in ebb-delta growth, and multi-year simulations indicate the time scale of approach to dynamic equilibrium of the ebb delta and establishment of natural sand bypassing at the inlet.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 86 EP - 97 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Packery Channel is an artificial inlet that occupies a historic ephemeral pathway between Corpus Christi Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. In 2005, the inlet was opened by Hurricane Emily during its construction and has remained open and navigable for more than 4 years. The shallow-draft channel has not required maintenance dredging despite episodic shoaling during storms, including Hurricane Ike. Stability of the inlet and adjacent beach is attributed to location in the southeast corner of Corpus Christi Bay, receiving augmented ebb flow by wind setup accompanying winter fronts. The ebb current, with speed sometimes exceeding 1.0 m/s, scours sediment deposited during the summer months, thereby maintaining channel depth adequate for water exchange and navigation. After the channel opened, a deposition basin initially served as the main sediment repository for sediment scoured from the bay side. Entrance channel shoaling began to increase in 2008, initiated by 15,000 m3of beach sand that entered the channel during Hurricane Ike. Subsequent shoaling is attributed to unrestricted wind-blown transport enhanced by drought. Since completion of the 430-m long dual jetties in 2006, an ebb-tidal delta has not formed. Ebb delta development is suppressed by a strong longshore current and longshore bar formation that alternates in direction seasonally, and by strong bursts of ebb flow during winter. The inlet is located in a region of nearly balanced longshore sediment transport, indicated by near-symmetric shoreline response at each jetty. The shoreline within a 1-km zone of the inlet advanced at a rate of 7.5 m/yr, whereas along the 18-km monitoring area it receded at a rate of 1.6 m/yr, reflecting in part the influence of Hurricane Ike. Channel performance tracks closely with that reported in the original design, with stability to date exceeding those 1997 predictions.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 75 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Fire Island, New York, is a 50-kilometer-long barrier island that has remained positionally stable without any formation of breach inlets for nearly 200 years. Some researchers have attributed its stability to a major supply of sand moving onshore from relatively deep water (i.e., >10 m depths). Others have demonstrated via sediment budgets that the principal sand sources at decadal to century time scales are littoral sediments derived from eroding beaches, bluffs, and cannibalization of inlet shoals in shallower depths (i.e., ⩽10 m). Published sediment budgets indicate that the quantity in question is of the order 105 m3/yr. The possibility that this deep-water source of sand is significant, active, and persistent at decadal to century time scales has led to reluctance to mine deep-water shoals for beach nourishment of Fire Island. Herein, the authors review five factors related to the potential for a significant deep-water sand source in this setting: (1) spatial and temporal frames of reference necessary for this flux of sand; (2) studies of scour and sediment transport over offshore features; (3) sediment size distribution across the foreshore; (4) depth of closure (DOC); and (5) contribution of abandoned inlet shoals. The authors conclude that evidence for an onshore flux of sediment (i.e., order of 105 m3/yr) is lacking and suggest that reluctance to mine the offshore for beach nourishment is unfounded.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 49 EP - 60 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - The Coastal Modeling System (CMS), developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP), is applied to model morphology change at a dual-inlet system, the Johns Pass and Blind Pass system in West-Central Florida. The CMS combines computation of current, wave, and sediment transport, leading to the prediction of morphology change at tidal inlets and the surrounding beaches. Medium-term CMS runs, with simulated times of 1.2 to 1.6 years, were completed and compared with extensive field data. Stronger tidal flow through the dominating Johns Pass and weaker flow through the secondary Blind Pass were calculated, indicating that the model reproduced an essential aspect of this interactive two-inlet system. The complicated wave refraction and breaking over the ebb tidal deltas and along the adjacent shorelines were accurately modeled, leading to a realistic representation of the wave-current interaction. Wave-breaking induced elevated sediment suspension and transport were described by the model. The predicted morphology change agreed well with field data. The CMS captured several key spatial trends of morphology change, e.g., erosion along the downdrift beach and accretion at the attachment point. The computed 32,000 m3/yr sedimentation volume in the dredge pit at the updrift side of Blind Pass matched the measured value of 35,000 m3/yr with a similar spatial distribution pattern, suggesting that the calculated net longshore sediment transport rates are accurate. The computed sedimentation rate of 60,000 m3/yr at a designed dredge pit on Johns Pass ebb-delta agrees with the generally accepted gross longshore transport rate. Rapid and large morphology change in response to high wave-energy events is predicted and is consistent with field observations.

The model solves the depth-averaged two-dimensional non-equilibrium transport equation of total-load sediment, considering bed-material hiding and exposure, avalanching and sediment transport over hard bottoms. The model is coupled with a depth-averaged circulation model and a spectral wave transformation model. Predicted bed changes are compared with measurements for two laboratory experiments of channel infilling and in a field study at Shinnecock Inlet, Long Island, NY. The results indicate that the model is capable of predicting the general trends of morphology change and provides a useful tool for engineering applications such as coastal sediment management, navigation channel maintenance, and beach erosion protection.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2011/05/02/May2011 Supplement M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 26 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - An implicit finite volume scheme is developed to solve the depth-averaged 2-D shallow water flow equations. The computational mesh consists of rectangular cells, with quadtree technology incorporated to locally refine the mesh around structures of interest or where the topography and/or flow properties change sharply. The grid nodes are numbered by means of an unstructured index system for more flexibility. The governing equations are solved using the SIMPLEC algorithm on non-staggered grid to handle the coupling of water level and velocity. In this non-staggered system, primary variables u-, v-velocity, and water level are stored on the same set of grid points, and fluxes at cell faces are determined using the Rhie and Chow's momentum interpolation method to avoid spurious checkerboard oscillations. The discretized algebraic equations are solved iteratively using the GMRES method. The model has been tested against measurement data for steady flow around a spur-dyke in a laboratory flume and tidal flows in Gironde Estuary, France and Grays Harbor, USA. The model reasonably well reproduces the temporal and spatial variations of water level and current speed observed in the measurements. The laboratory test has demonstrated that the quadtree mesh is cost-effective, while the two field cases have shown that the model is very stable and handles wetting and drying efficiently.

SN - 07490208 AB - The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) has developed a nearshore spectral wave transformation numerical model to address needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation projects. The model is called CMS-Wave and is part of Coastal Modeling System (CMS) for wave estimates in the vicinity of coastal and estuarine navigation channels. It can simulate important wave processes at coastal inlets including wave diffraction, refraction, reflection, wave breaking and dissipation mechanisms, wave-current interaction, and wave generation and growth. This paper describes recent improvements in CMS-Wave that include semi-empirical estimates of wave run-up and overtopping, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and wave dissipation over muddy bottoms. CMS-Wave may be used with nested grids and variable rectangular cells in a rapid mode to assimilate full-plane wave generation for circulation and sediment transport models. A brief description of these recent capabilities is provided.

SN - 07490208 AB - CMS-Flow is a coupled time-dependent circulation, sediment transport and morphodynamic model based on the numerical solution of the mass, momentum and transport equations on a Cartesian (quad-tree) grid network with both explicit and implicit solvers. It has been developed and is currently supported under the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) conducted at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The model's primary function is to support multi-disciplinary research teams and conduct practical projects at coastal inlets. CMS-Flow has been designed with a relatively simple code structure which allows for rapid development and inclusion of new sediment transport algorithms, while always being accessible to the general modeling community, including both USACE and commercial users. Today, CMS-Flow is an integral component of the CIRP, providing technology for simulating hydrodynamics, waves, sediment transport and morphology for short and long timeframes in coastal inlets, adjacent beaches, navigation channels and bays.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2011/05// VL - 6 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Human Serum paraoxonase 1 (HuPON1) is an enzyme that has been shown to hydrolyze a variety of chemicals including the nerve agent VX. While wildtype HuPON1 does not exhibit sufficient activity against VX to be used as an in vivo countermeasure, it has been suggested that increasing HuPON1's organophosphorous hydrolase activity by one or two orders of magnitude would make the enzyme suitable for this purpose. The binding interaction between HuPON1 and VX has recently been modeled, but the mechanism for VX hydrolysis is still unknown. In this study, we created a transition state model for VX hydrolysis (VXts) in water using quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical simulations, and docked the transition state model to 22 experimentally characterized HuPON1 variants using AutoDock Vina. The HuPON1-VXts complexes were grouped by reaction mechanism using a novel clustering procedure. The average Vina interaction energies for different clusters were compared to the experimentally determined activities of HuPON1 variants to determine which computational procedures best predict how well HuPON1 variants will hydrolyze VX. The analysis showed that only conformations which have the attacking hydroxyl group of VXts coordinated by the sidechain oxygen of D269 have a significant correlation with experimental results. The results from this study can be used for further characterization of how HuPON1 hydrolyzes VX and design of HuPON1 variants with increased activity against VX.

Fast-triggered release occurs when light sensitive molecules (photosensitizers) embedded within phospholipid particles are triggered by an external light stimulus. The photo-induced oxidation due to the stimulus causes the lipid chains to break and rapidly release their contents. When the phospholipid carriers are loaded with strong biocides, the fast-triggered release can result in the neutralization of biological contaminants in a controlled environment. It was observed that a 98% release of biocides was achieved in 12 min and 68% release achieved in 2 min through photo-induced oxidation. This method of release of biocides potentially can offer a technology for rapid decontamination inside heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and surfaces such as walls, windows, etc. Moreover, biocide loaded phospholipid particles could be released as aerosols for neutralizing airborne bacteria and other biological contaminants. The appropriate choice of biocides can enable potential use in first-responder type situations and the automatic remote neutralization following bacterial contamination of air ducts or surfaces.

The site studied was the Highway 13 bridge over the Big Sioux River in Flandreau, South Dakota. The Flandreau site has complex channel and floodplain geometry that produces unique flow conditions at the bridge crossing. The 2D model was calibrated using flow measurements obtained during two floods in 1993. The calibrated model was used to examine the hydraulic and geomorphic factors that affect the main channel and floodplain flows and the flow interactions between the two portions. A one-dimensional (1D) flow model of the bridge site was also created in Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) for comparison. Soil samples were collected from the bridge site and tested in an erosion function apparatus (EFA) to determine the critical shear stress and erosion rate constant. The results of EFA testing and 2D flow modeling were used as inputs to the Scour Rate in Cohesive Soils (SRICOS) method to predict local scour at the northern and southernmost piers. The sensitivity of predicted scour depth to the hydraulic and soil parameters was examined. The predicted scour depth was very sensitive to the approach-flow velocity and critical shear stress. Overall, this study has provided a better understanding of 2D flow effects in compound channels and an overall assessment of the SRICOS method for prediction of bridge pier scour.

Several rigid airfield pavement features at each installation underwent structural testing using the heavy weight deflectometer (HWD) and the portable seismic pavement analyzer (PSPA). The HWD data were used to backcalculate layer moduli for each pavement structure based on the composition of the underlying layers and layer thickness from historical construction records. The PSPA data were used to calculate the in-situ properties for the pavement layers in terms of Young's modulus. PSPA-estimated moduli were used to calculate in-situ flexural strengths of the rigid pavements based on a predetermined relationship between the PSPA-measured modulus and flexural strength. Structural analyses were performed using the flexural strengths obtained from as-built construction records and the flexural strengths estimated from PSPA moduli. Results indicated that the structural capacity of rigid pavements was slightly more conservative when the PSPA moduli were used to calculate the flexural strength than when historical construction data were used. As a result, structural capacity decreased, and overlay requirements increased when the PSPA data were used in lieu of the historical data. The PSPA provides a useful tool for analyses of structural capacity, particularly when historical data is not available.

These areas include shrublands, grasslands, and croplands, which represent 68%% of the seasonally snow-covered Northern Hemisphere land surface (excluding Greenland). Snow depth observations throughout nonforested areas suggest that mid- to late-winter snowpack depths are often comparable or lower than the vegetation heights. As a consequence, vegetation protruding above the snow cover has an important impact on snow-season surface energy budgets. The protruding vegetation parameterization uses disparate energy balances for snow-covered and protruding vegetation fractions of each model grid cell, and fractionally weights these fluxes to define grid-average quantities. SnowModel, a spatially distributed snow-evolution modeling system, was used to test and assess the parameterization. Simulations were conducted during the winters of 2005/06 and 2006/07 for conditions of 1) no protruding vegetation (the control) and 2) with protruding vegetation. The spatial domain covered Colorado, Wyoming, and portions of the surrounding states; 81%% of this area is nonforested. The surface net radiation, energy, and moisture fluxes displayed considerable differences when protruding vegetation was included. For shrubs, the net radiation, sensible, and latent fluxes changed by an average of 12.7, 6.9, and −−22.7 W m−−2, respectively. For grass and crops, these fluxes changed by an average of 6.9, −−0.8, and −−7.9 W m−−2, respectively. Daily averaged flux changes were as much as 5 times these seasonal averages. As such, the new parameterization represents a major change in surface flux calculations over more simplistic and less physically realistic approaches.

We studied the effects of hydrilla control on wintering waterfowl populations at Lake Seminole. GA, We applied fluridone (Sonar®) in a low-dose injection system starting May 2000 in the Spring Creek arm of the reservoir. We used aerial photography and ground-truthing methods to quantify coverage of vegetation types and open water preand post-treatment for the entire reservoir. We flew weekly aerial surveys to document waterfowl numbers and distribution across the reservoir between 1 November and 15 March during 1998-1999 and 2001-2002 for preand post-treatment estimates. Application of Sonar~ in the Spring Creek arm reduced hydrilla coverage in the reservoir from approximately 35% to 24%. Average number of ducks per flight before treatment (x= 2864. SE = 304) did not differ from after treatment counts x = 2774, SE = 273) for the reservoir. However, the distribution of ducks changed, with use decreasing 12% in Spring Creek arm. Distribution of ducks before and after treatment revealed that ducks selected hydrilla greater than its availability. Our results indicate that biologists in the Southeast can reduce coverage of hydrilla using Sonar® applied in a low-dose injection system; however, waterfowl distribution may change following treatment.

T1 - Combining Ketamine and Virtual Reality Pain Control During Severe Burn Wound Care: One Military and One Civilian Patient. JO - Pain Medicine JF - Pain Medicine Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 12 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 673 EP - 678 PB - Oxford University Press / USA SN - 15262375 AB - US soldiers injured in Iraq, and civilian burn trauma patients are treated at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research. Burn patients experience extrem pain during wound care, and they typically receive opioid analgesics and anxiolytics for debridement. Virtual Reality (VR) has been applied as an adjunct to opioid analgesics for procedural pain. We describe the first use of ketamine combined with immersive VR to reduce excessive pain during wound care. A 21-year-old male US Army soldier stationed in Iraq, and a 41-year-old civilian male sustained a 13% and 50% total body surface area (TBSA) burn, respectively. Each patient received 40 mg ketamine intraveneous (IV) for wound care. Using a within-subject design, nurses conducted half of a painful segment of wound care treatments with no VR and the other half with immersive VR. Graphic pain rating scores for each of the two treatment conditions served as the dependent variables. Compared to ketamine + no VR, both patients reported less pain during ketamine + VR for all three pain ratings. Both patients rated wound care during no VR as 'no fun at all', but those same patients rated wound care during virtual reality as either 'pretty fun' or 'extremely fun', and rated nausea as either 'mild' or 'none'. Results from these first two cases suggest that a moderate dose of ketamine combined with immersive virtual reality distraction may be an effective multimodal analgesic regimen for reducing acute procedural pain during severe burn wound cleanings.

In particular, the displacements were determined under two loading conditions: (1) remote applied stress and (2) uniform stress applied to a segment of the crack surface (partially loaded crack). The displacements were calculated by an integral-equation method based on accurate stress-intensity factor equations for concentrated forces applied to the crack surfaces and those for remote applied stress or for a partially loaded crack surface. A boundary-element code was also used to calculate crack-surface displacements for some selected cases. Comparisons made with crack-surface displacement equations previously developed for the same crack configuration and loading showed significant differences near the location where the crack intersected the hole surface. However, the previous equations were fairly accurate near the crack-tip location. Herein an improved crack-surface displacement equation was developed for the case of remote applied stress. For the partially loaded crack case, only numerical comparisons were made between the previous equations and numerical integration. A rapid algorithm, based on the integral-equation method, was developed to calculate these displacements. Because cracks emanating from a hole are quite common in the aerospace industry, accurate displacement solutions are crucial for improving life-prediction methods based on the strip-yield crack-closure models.

However, no correlation between the HES and actual accident involvement has previously been published. In this research effort we developed an Army-specific version of the HES and administered it, over the course of 4 separate surveys, to a large sample of U.S. Army aviators. We then computed Army-HES scores that we correlated with self-reported accident involvement. We also reanalyzed data from 4 separate civilian studies in which the civilian version of the HES was administered to compute a correlation between HES and self-reported accident involvement. We hypothesized that a positive correlation would be obtained between the HES and accident involvement. That hypothesis was supported by the results. Positive, significant correlations were obtained for the Army sample (r = .15), and each of the 4 civilian studies (r = .23, r = .32, r = .24, r = .30) between the HES and self-reported accident involvement. The use of the HES as a surrogate measure for accident involvement and indicator of pilot accident risk for both individual pilots and organizations is discussed.

Previous results show a sharp increase in pullback velocity for 1100-O aluminum with increase in peak shock stress between 4.0 and 8.3 GPa due to hardening, followed by a decrease for peak shock stresses up to 12.0 GPa possibly due to softening. This maximum was not observed for the 30% CR, which showed only an increase in pullback velocity over the shock stress range of 4.0-12.0 GPa due to hardening (net increase in dislocation density). For the 70% CR aluminum, no change was observed in the pullback velocity over the range tested (4.0-11.0 GPa) probably due to saturation in dislocation density. Similar observations were made for the 80% CR, that is, no change was observed in the spall response between 4.0 GPa and 11.0 GPa. However, variations were observed in the spall response for the 80% CR, and these variations are attributed to material inhomogeneity possibly caused by increased cold rolling beyond saturation. The results also show a significant increase in Hugoniot Elastic Limit with increase in percent cold rolling.

Typically, the nonpolar solvation free energy is approximated by the solvent-accessible-surface area times a constant factor. More sophisticated approaches incorporate an estimate of the attractive dispersion forces of the solvent and/or a solvent-accessible volume cavitation term. In this work, we confirm that a single volume-based nonpolar term most closely fits the dispersion and cavitation forces obtained from benchmark explicit solvent simulations of fixed protein conformations. Next, we incorporated the volume term into molecular dynamics simulations and find the term is not universally suitable for folding up small proteins. We surmise that while mean-field cavitation terms such as volume and SASA often tilt the energy landscape towards native-like folds, they also may sporadically introduce bottlenecks into the folding pathway that hinder the progression towards the native state.

Here we present the coupled effect of temperature and strain rate on the mechanical response of a thermally stabilized nanocrystalline Cu alloyed with 10 at% Ta. Compressive mechanical testing was performed from 24 to 1000 °C and strain rates ranging from quasi-static (10 −1 s −1 ) to dynamic (10 4 s −1 ) rates. The response of this material exhibits a maximum quasi-static yield stress of 1.05 GPa at room temperature and an approximate yield stress of 0.5 GPa at 600 °C, with an apparently linear temperature response. In contrast to pure coarse-grained Cu, our assessment indicates that this Cu-based composite derives its properties from a combination of very small Cu-rich grains and well-dispersed Ta clusters and nanometer (<10 nm) size Ta precipitates. Such microstructural features translate into a strong resistance to coarsening even after extensive exposure to elevated temperatures and high rates of deformation.

Compared to earlier studies, the modeled systemswere approximately 5 times larger, which allowed significantly largerstrains up to about 120% to be examined. Two different modes of structuraltransformation of semicrystalline PE were observed at the higher temperatureof 350 K, depending on the strain rate. At the faster strain rateof 5 × 107s–1, cavitation in thenoncrystalline region dominated, with little change in the crystallineregion, resulting in monotonically declining stress with increasingstrain after the yield point. However, in a small number of cases,significant deviations from the average stress–strain profilewere observed that correlated with topological constraints, such asbridges and bridging entanglements connecting crystalline regionsseparated by the noncrystalline region, and destabilization of thecrystalline region. At the slower strain rate of 5 × 106s–1, we observed repeated melting/recrystallizationevents and significant oscillations in stress associated with variationsof density in crystalline and noncrystalline regions and the displacementof polymer chains from crystalline to noncrystalline regions. Whenaveraged over an ensemble of starting configurations for semicrystallinePE, the oscillations were found to be less coherent from microstateto microstate and offset one another. The postyield stress becamenotably smoother and began to resemble the plastic flow observed macroscopically,followed by stress hardening at the later stage of deformation. Atthe lower temperature of 250 K, cavity formation was the only mechanismobserved, for both strain rates. The interplay between the thermodynamicstability of the crystalline region and the topological constraintsimposed by bridges and entanglements in the noncrystalline regionis crucial to understanding structural transformations of semicrystallinePE during tensile deformations.

In order to analyze these systems more rigorously, this paper derives relationships and metrics for the mass savings of a multifunctional design relative to a design consisting of conventional structures and electrochemical devices. These metrics are then evaluated using structural supercapacitors composed of carbon fiber electrodes and conductive solid polymer electrolytes, as well as multifunctional supercapacitors from literature. The analysis reveals that state-of-the-art multifunctional supercapacitors are still far from reaching the levels of performance needed to supplant conventional structures and save system mass. The metrics provide further insight regarding multifunctional value of the material components as well as influence of various functionalities on system performance.

JO - Composites Science & Technology JF - Composites Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/06/19/ VL - 114 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 25 SN - 02663538 AB - Ballistic performance, at effective strain rates of (10 4 –10 5 s −1 ), for polymeric dicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) was compared with two epoxy resin/diamine systems with comparable glass transition temperatures. The high rate response was characterized in terms of a projectile penetration kinetic energy, KE 50 , which describes the projectile kinetic energy at a velocity with a 50% probability of sample penetration. pDCPD showed superior penetration resistance, with a 300–400% improvement in ballistic energy dissipation, when compared with the structural epoxy resins. In addition, unlike typical highly crosslinked networks that become brittle at low temperatures, the improved pDCPD performance occurred over a very broad temperature range (−55 to 75 °C), despite exhibiting a glass transition temperature characteristic of structural resins (∼142 °C). In addition to the high T g , pDCPD exhibited a room temperature glassy storage modulus of 1.7 GPa, offering the potential to circumvent the common structural versus energy dissipation trade-off encountered with conventional crosslinked polymers. Quasi-static measurements suggested that the performance of pDCPD is phenomenologically related to higher fracture toughness and lower yield stress relative to typical epoxies, while molecular dynamics simulations suggest the origin is the lack of strong non-covalent interactions and the facile formation of nanoscale voids to accommodate strain in pDCPD.

The conversion of the coformers to the cocrystal form was monitored by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of specimens sampled at various milling times. Complete conversion to the cocrystal form was achieved by 60 minutes of milling. Rounded 2CL-20·HMX cocrystal particles with a mean size below 200 nm were produced. A mechanism for the conversion of the coformers to the cocrystalline form is postulated based on the experimental results. As an inherently safe manufacturing method, the aqueous bead milling process has great potential in advancing cocrystal research and applications in the field of energetic materials.

Autoinoculations and secondary and tertiary transmissions due to VACV shedding from the vaccination site continue to occur despite education of vaccinees on the risks of such infections. The objectives of this study were to investigate, in naïve smallpox vaccinees, (a) whether the vaccination site can remain contagious after the scab separates and (b) whether the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the vaccination site inactivates VACV without affecting the immune response. These objectives were tested in 60 individuals scheduled to receive smallpox vaccine. Thirty individuals (control) did not receive PIO; 30 subjects (treatment) received PIO starting on post-vaccination day 7. Counter to current dogma, this study showed that VACV continues to shed from the vaccination site after the scab separates. Overall viral shedding levels in the PIO group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( p = 0.0045), and PIO significantly reduced the duration of viral shedding (median duration 14.5 days and 21 days in the PIO and control groups, respectively; p = 0.0444). At least 10% of control subjects continued to shed VACV at day 28, and 3.4% continued to shed the virus at day 42. PIO reduced the proportion of subjects shedding virus from the vaccination site from day 8 until days 21–23 compared with control subjects. Groups did not differ significantly in the proportion of subjects mounting an immune response, as measured by neutralizing antibodies, IgM, IgG, and interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assay. When applied to the vaccination site starting on day 7, PIO reduced viral shedding without altering the immune response. The use of PIO in addition to a semipermeable dressing may reduce the rates of autoinoculation and contact transmission originating from the vaccination site in smallpox-vaccinated individuals.

Using molecular simulations,enhanced-sampling methods, and free-energy calculations, we show theeffects of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces on DNA hybridization.Hydrophilic surfaces compete with terminal bases’ H-bonds butstabilize central base stacking. Hydrophobic surfaces strengthen terminalH-bonds but destabilize central base stacking. Regardless of surfacechemistry, for terminal bases, melting proceeds through breaking H-bonds,followed by unstacking from the neighboring base. For central basesin bulk or near hydrophobic surfaces, melting proceeds by disruptionof H-bonds, followed by unstacking, whereas on hydrophilic surfaces,unstacking from one neighboring base precedes complete disruptionof the H-bonds, followed by unstacking from the second neighboringbase. Kinetic barriers to melting and hybridization show that thecentral bases melt rapidly near hydrophobic surfaces, which can accelerateconformational searching and thereby accelerate folding into the desiredconformation.

JO - Parasitology International JF - Parasitology International Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 64 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 260 EP - 266 SN - 13835769 AB - Genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum is intimately associated with morbidity, mortality and malaria control strategies. It is therefore imperative to study genetic makeup and population structure of this parasite in endemic areas. In Kong Mong Tha, an isolated village in western Thailand, the majority of P. falciparum infections are asymptomatic. In this study we investigated complexity of infections and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P. falciparum population of Kong Mong Tha, and compared results with those previously obtained from Mae Sod, in northwestern Thailand, where the majority of infections were symptomatic. Using PCR-based determination of the 5′ merozoite surface protein 1 gene ( msp1 ) recombinant types, we found that 39% of 59 P. falciparum isolates from Kong Mong Tha had multiple 5′ recombinant types with a mean number of 1.54. These values were much lower than those obtained from Mae Sod: 96% for multiple infections and with a mean number of 3.61. Analysis of full-length sequences of two housekeeping genes, the P-type Ca 2 + -transporting ATPase gene (n = 33) plus adenylosuccinate lyase gene (n = 33), and three vaccine candidate antigen genes, msp1 (n = 26), the circumsporozoite protein gene, csp (n = 30) and the apical membrane antigen 1 gene, ama 1 (n = 32), revealed that in all of these genes within-population SNP diversity was at similar levels between Kong Mong Tha and Mae Sod, suggesting that the extent of MOI and clinical manifestations of malaria are not strongly associated with genetic diversity. Additionally, we did not detect significant genetic differentiation between the two parasite populations, as estimated by the Wright's fixation index of inter-population variance in allele frequencies, suggesting that gene flow prevented the formation of population structuring. Thus, this study highlights unique features of P. falciparum populations in Thailand. The implications of these finding are discussed.

One method for producing these coatings is the carburization of sprayed Cr coatings using methane-containing gaseous precursors. This process has been investigated for the synthesis of binder-free chromium carbide coatings on nickel-based alloy substrates for molten fluoride salt corrosion resistance. The effects of the carburization process on coating microstructure have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Both plasma-sprayed and cold-sprayed Cr coatings have been successfully converted to Cr 3 C 2 , with the mechanism of conversion being strongly influenced by the initial porosity in the as-deposited coatings.

JO - International Journal of Agricultural & Biological Engineering JF - International Journal of Agricultural & Biological Engineering Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 8 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 140 EP - 157 SN - 19346344 AB - The São Francisco River Basin, located in eastern Brazil, has undergone a significant amount of anthropogenic changes in the last several decades, such as agricultural expansion, irrigation activities, mining, and the construction of large dams. Together, these changes have altered the historic sediment budget and have led to an aggradation of sediments in the navigation channel, impacting the ability to efficiently ship agricultural commodities to regional ports. In an effort to aid decision makers in future waterway navigation planning, an international partnership between the Brazilian government agency CODEVASF and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was created. Through this partnership a SWAT model of the 630 000 km² São Francisco River basin was developed to better understand both the historic and current sediment budget within the navigation channel. The SWAT model of the São Francisco River Basin was calibrated for hydrology and sediment loads. Monthly discharges were calibrated at 17 Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) gages, with Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) values ranging from 0.42 to 0.75 for an eleven year simulation. Sediment loads were calibrated to an ANA sediment gage located in the Middle São Francisco River Navigation Channel, with a PBIAS (Percent Bias) of 11.6. Based on model results, the aggradation rate of sediment in the São Francisco River and major tributaries has increased by approximately 20 Mt since Pre-European settlement of the basin (from approximately 7 Mt/a to 27 Mt/a). This increase has contributed to an impaired navigation channel due to shoaling of sandy sediments in the navigation channel.

JO - Clinical Proteomics JF - Clinical Proteomics Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 SN - 15426416 AB - Background: The bacterium Burkholderia mallei is the etiological agent of glanders, a highly contagious, often fatal zoonotic infectious disease that is also a biodefense concern. Clinical laboratory assays that analyze blood or other biological fluids are the highest priority because these specimens can be collected with minimal risk to the patient. However, progress in developing sensitive assays for monitoring B. mallei infection is hampered by a shortage of useful biomarkers. Results: Reasoning that there should be a strong correlation between the proteomes of infected tissues and circulating serum, we employed imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) of thin-sectioned tissues from Chlorocebus aethiops (African green) monkeys infected with B. mallei to localize host and pathogen proteins that were associated with abscesses. Using laser-capture microdissection of specific regions identified by IMS and histology within the tissue sections, a more extensive proteomic analysis was performed by a technique that combined the physical separation capabilities of liquid chromatography (LC) with the sensitive mass analysis capabilities of mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). By examining standard formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, this strategy resulted in the identification of several proteins that were associated with lung and skin abscesses, including the host protein calprotectin and the pathogen protein GroEL. Elevated levels of calprotectin detected by ELISA and antibody responses to GroEL, measured by a microarray of the bacterial proteome, were subsequently detected in the sera of C. aethiops, Macaca mulatta, and Macaca fascicularis primates infected with B. mallei. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that a combination of multidimensional MS analysis of traditional histology specimens with high-content protein microarrays can be used to discover lead pairs of host-pathogen biomarkers of infection that are identifiable in biological fluids.

JO - Advances in Water Resources JF - Advances in Water Resources Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 80 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 03091708 AB - We present an immersed structure approach for modeling the interaction between surface flows and vegetation. Fluid flow and rigid and flexible vegetative obstacles are coupled through a local drag relation that conserves momentum. In the presented method, separate meshes are used for the fluid domain and vegetative obstacles. Taking techniques from immersed boundary finite element methods, the effects of the fluid on the vegetative structures and vice versa are calculated using integral transforms. Using a simple elastic structure model we incorporate bending and moving vegetative obstacles. We model flexible vegetation as thin, elastic, inextensible cantilever beams. Using the immersed structure approach, a fully coupled fluid-vegetation interaction model is developed assuming dynamic fluid flow and quasi-static bending. This relatively computationally inexpensive model allows for thousands of vegetative obstacles to be included in a simulation without requiring an extremely refined fluid mesh. The method is validated with comparisons to mean velocity profiles and bent vegetation heights from experiments that are reproduced computationally. We test the method on several channel flow setups. We calculate the bulk drag coefficient in these flow scenarios and analyze their trends with changing model parameters including stem population density and flow Reynolds number. Bulk drag models are the primary method of incorporating small-scale drag from individual plants into a value that can be used in larger-scale models. Upscaled bulk drag quantities from this method may be utilized in larger-scale simulations of flow through vegetation regions.

In this article, we describe a general framework for fingerprint embedding at the physical layer in order to provide message authentication that is secure and bandwidth-efficient. Rather than depending on channel or device characteristics that are outside of our control, deliberate fingerprint embedding for message authentication enables control over performance trade-offs by design. Furthermore, low-power fingerprint designs enhance security by making the authentication tags less accessible to adversaries. We define metrics for communications and authentication performance, and discuss the trade-offs in system design. Results from our wireless software-defined radio experiments validate the theory and demonstrate the low complexity, practicality, and enhanced security of the approach.

JO - Forensic Science International JF - Forensic Science International Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 251 M3 - Article SP - 202 EP - 208 SN - 03790738 AB - Eye tracking and behavioral methods were used to assess the effects of fatigue on performance in latent print examiners. Eye gaze was measured both before and after a fatiguing exercise involving fine-grained examination decisions. The eye tracking tasks used similar images, often laterally reversed versions of previously viewed prints, which holds image detail constant while minimizing prior recognition. These methods, as well as a within-subject design with fine grained analyses of the eye gaze data, allow fairly strong conclusions despite a relatively small subject population. Consistent with the effects of fatigue on practitioners in other fields such as radiology, behavioral performance declined with fatigue, and the eye gaze statistics suggested a smaller working memory capacity. Participants also terminated the search/ examination process sooner when fatigued. However, fatigue did not produce changes in inter-examiner consistency as measured by the Earth Mover Metric. Implications for practice are discussed.

The Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) programme: short-term impact of a school-based educational intervention. JO - Injury Prevention (1353-8047) JF - Injury Prevention (1353-8047) Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 21 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 166 EP - 172 SN - 13538047 AB - Background Since 1985, one-third of all US all-terrain vehicle (ATV)-related injuries and one-quarter of deaths involved victims <16 years of age. ATV safety education of youth could help reduce these tragedies. Objectives To assess the efficacy of the Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) school-based programme targeting adolescents. Methods A survey was anonymously administered before and after the programme to determine demographics, knowledge and reported likelihood of using the information learned. Results Over 4600 students in 30 Iowa schools participated from November 2010 to April 2013. Initially, 52% knew most ATVs are designed for one rider, 25% knew the recommended vehicle size for their age range and 42% knew riding on Iowa’s roads was legal only for agricultural purposes. After the programme, this increased to 92%, 82% and 76%, respectively (p<0.0001 in each case), with 61% of students correct on all three. Better preintervention scores were associated with being males, higher riding frequency and being from isolated rural communities. After the programme, 48% and 32% said they were likely/very likely versus unlikely/very unlikely to use the safety information learned, respectively; younger students, females and infrequent riders reported higher likelihoods. Conclusions STARs increased short-term ATV safety knowledge and almost half the participants reported they would use the safety information presented. Males and frequent riders seemed more resistant, but some groups that may be more vulnerable to potential ATV crash and injury appeared amenable to the training with higher increases in postprogramme scores and greater intention of improving safety behaviours.

JO - Journal of Biomedical Optics JF - Journal of Biomedical Optics Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 20 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 SN - 10833668 AB - A useful laboratory technique has been devised using commonly available optical hardware and software to accurately measure the eye's response to flashing light-emitting diode (LED) sources. A simplified version of the modified Allard technique is implemented using a silicon detector, a digital multimeter, and Labview® software to collect and analyze the data. Using calibrated radiometric measurements, the method presented allows quantifying, in photopic units, the human eye's response to these sources. The procedure first requires exact conversion of irradiance measurements from radiometric to photopic units and this is done; however, during the study, it was determined that for LEDs with narrow spectra, this conversion can be simplified using an approximation. This involves taking the spectral form of the LED to be a delta function situated at its peak wavelength, which makes the conversion from watts to lumens a simple multiplication by the luminous efficiency, η(λ) value at that peak wavelength. For LEDs with a full width at half maximum of 20 nm or less, this approximation is found to be accurate to ±5% throughout the visible range.

The approximate model is used to assess the potential aeroelastic/aeromechanical stability enhancement of helicopter rotor blades from carbon nanotube matrix inclusions. The matrix/nanoinclusion micromechanics before the occurrence of interfacial slip are based on the Cox model for discontinuous fiber reinforcement, and the frictional energy dissipation is assumed to be proportional to the interfacial shear force where slip has occurred. The validity of the model is established by comparing with experimental measurements of storage and loss moduli for a polymer nanocomposite. The relatively simple model captures the salient features of nanocomposite interfacial slip energy dissipation once uncertainties in fiber orientation and dispersion are accounted for in an approximate manner by using an effective volume fraction. The validated model is then used to calculate damping of the first in-plane bending mode when a beam is subjected to axial strain fields representative of hingeless rotor blades. Results indicate that hybrid nanocomposites with nanoinclusions show significant potential for contributing to future vertical lift capabilities by augmenting rotorcraft aeromechanical stability margins of hingeless/bearingless rotors.

It is based on potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA) using a graphene paste electrode modified with the thiacrown 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (TTCN) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The electrode surface was characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronocoulometry and scanning electron microscopy. The modified electrode displays a 15-fold enhancement in the PSA signal (dt/dE) compared to a conventional graphene paste electrode. Under optimized conditions, the signal is proportional to the concentration of As(III) in the range from 25 pM to 34 nM (r = 0.9977), and the detection limit (SD/s) is as low as 8 pM. The modified electrode was successfully applied to the determination of total arsenic [i.e., As(III) and As(V)] in pharmaceutical formulations, human hair, sea water, fruits, vegetables, soil, and wine samples.

JO - Analytica Chimica Acta JF - Analytica Chimica Acta Y1 - 2015/05/30/ VL - 876 M3 - Article SP - 39 EP - 48 SN - 00032670 AB - Variable responses are fundamental for all experiments, and they can consist of information-rich, redundant, and low signal intensities. A dataset can consist of a collection of variable responses over multiple classes or groups. Usually some of the variables are removed in a dataset that contain very little information. Sometimes all the variables are used in the data analysis phase. It is common practice to discriminate between two distributions of data; however, there is no formal algorithm to arrive at a degree of separation (DS) between two distributions of data. The DS is defined herein as the average of the sum of the areas from the probability density functions (PDFs) of A and B that contain a ≥ percentage of A and/or B. Thus, DS90 is the average of the sum of the PDF areas of A and B that contain ≥90% of A and/or B. To arrive at a DS value, two synthesized PDFs or very large experimental datasets are required. Experimentally it is common practice to generate relatively small datasets. Therefore, the challenge was to find a statistical parameter that can be used on small datasets to estimate and highly correlate with the DS90 parameter. Established statistical methods include the overlap area of the two data distribution profiles, Welch’s t -test, Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K–S) test, Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC). The area between the ROC curve and diagonal (ACD) and the length of the ROC curve (LROC) are introduced. The established, ACD, and LROC methods were correlated to the DS90 when applied on many pairs of synthesized PDFs. The LROC method provided the best linear correlation with, and estimation of, the DS90. The estimated DS90 from the LROC (DS90–LROC) is applied to a database, as an example, of three Italian wines consisting of thirteen variable responses for variable ranking consideration. An important highlight of the DS90–LROC method is utilizing the LROC curve methodology to test all variables one-at-a-time with all pairs of classes in a dataset.

The as-deposited 12-μm-thick coatings exhibit a face centered cubic nanocrystalline structure with a grain size of 37–46 nm and a uniform composition that replicates the C276 alloy deposition source. The as-deposited coating hardness H = 6.2 ± 0.3 GPa is four times larger than the known bulk H = 1.5–1.9 GPa. This is attributed to the small grain size and associated Hall–Petch hardening. Annealing in air for 1 h at 600 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C causes negligible changes in grain size but results in changes in microstructure and texture and a significant increase in H to 7.3–8.5 GPa. Compositional maps by Auger electron and energy-dispersive spectroscopies as well as a secondary x-ray diffraction peak suggest that this increase is due to segregation and precipitation of Cr- and Mo-rich regions.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2015/05/15/ VL - 89 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 5441 EP - 5449 SN - 0022538X AB - Filoviruses, including both Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), can infect humans and other animals, causing hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. Entry of these viruses into the host is mediated by a single filoviral glycoprotein (GP). GP is composed of two subunits: GP1, which is responsible for attachment and binding to receptor(s) on susceptible cells, and GP2, which mediates viral and cell membrane fusion. Although numerous host factors have been implicated in the entry process, the initial attachment receptor(s) has not been well defined. In this report, we demonstrate that exostosin 1 (EXT1), which is involved in biosynthesis of heparan sulfate (HS), plays a role in filovirus entry. Expression knockdown of EXT1 by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) impairs GP-mediated pseudoviral entry and that of infectious EBOV and MARV in tissue cultured cells. Furthermore, HS, heparin, and other related glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), to different extents, can bind to and block GP-mediated viral entry and that of infectious filoviruses. These results strongly suggest that HS and other related GAGs are attachment receptors that are utilized by filoviruses for entry and infection. These GAGs may have therapeutic potential in treating EBOV- and MARV-infected patients.

JO - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics JF - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 91 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 4 SN - 05562813 AB - Excited states in the N=88 nucleus 153Tb were observed up to spin ~40 in an experiment utilizing the Gammasphere array. The 153Tb states were populated in a weak α4n evaporation channel of the 37Cl + 124Sn reaction. Two previously known sequences were extended to higher spins, and a new decoupled structure was identified. The πh11/2 band was observed in the spin region where other N=88 isotopes exhibit effects of prolate to oblate shape changes leading to band termination along the yrast line, whereas 153Tb displays a persistent collective behavior. However, minor perturbations of the very highest state in both signatures of this h11/2 band are observed, which perhaps signal the start of the transition towards band termination.

The developed analysis accounts for the anisotropic nature of the electrical and thermal properties in three dimensions. A finite-element code is developed to predict the response of composite structures subjected to transient magnetic fields. The analysis has been validated against a closed-form solution and applied to simulate the induction heating process of composite cylinders. The developed analysis can be applied to the design of modern electrical weapons and used to simulate composite manufacturing processes such as induction cure.

The intent is to relate these mechanical properties to the microstructure formed during processing. Fine-grained sintered SiC performed better than coarse-grained SiC under indentation and compression loading. The sintered specimens had greater hardness and strength than the RB materials that contained a weaker silicon phase. Composite ceramics containing diamond and boron carbide as secondary phases exhibited greater hardness than the other materials. In addition, the compressive strength and hardness improved with strain rate of deformation for all the materials except for the RB materials and SiC-B4C composite. The weakening effect observed in the SiC-B4C composite during dynamic indentation can be attributed to the B4C phase which exhibits localized amorphization; however, the deleterious effects of B4C amorphization were reduced due to the strain-rate hardening of SiC.

Prolonged exposure (PE) therapy is a highly effective behavioral treatment for these symptoms, and providing this treatment as soon as possible, even in the midst of a soldier's combat deployment, has strong potential benefits. Materials and Methods: In the current case study, telehealth technology was used to support the delivery of PE therapy to treat a service member diagnosed with acute stress disorder in a war zone. PE was conducted face-to-face on the relatively secure Forward Operating Base for the first half of therapy and via clinical videoconferencing (CV) to the service member's remote combat outpost during the later stages of therapy. The service member exhibited marked improvements in symptoms over 10 sessions. Results: Results are consistent with previous empirical findings and highlight the potential benefits of using telehealth to deliver evidenced-based treatment for traumatic stress disorders in a war zone. This case study provides a preliminary working model for delivering PE in a combat environment using multiple delivery systems. Conclusions: Benefits and clinical utility of CV-delivered exposure therapy are discussed, particularly for providers pending future operational deployments (e.g., including members of the military, independent government agencies, and first responders) and for those treating patients in remote locations.

A host of tactile sensitivity information exists for other parts of the body, however the same information is lacking for the head. Thirty-three college students, age 18-35, were recruited for the study. A mixed design was used to evaluate the effect of hair density, head location, and frequency on vibration detection thresholds. Results suggest that hair density might slightly impede vibration signals from reaching the scalp and reduce vibration sensitivity, for the least sensitive locations on the head. This research provides design recommendations for head-mounted tactile displays for women and those with hair that can be used to convey directional cues for navigation and as alerts to critical events in the environment.

Fine dispersions of nano-scale AlN precipitates and individual submicron AlN precipitates were observed in a modest fraction of the grains. The nano-precipitates were found to be coherent with a well-defined crystallographic relationship to the matrix. The chemistry, size and distribution of both types of precipitates and the coherency of the nano-precipitates indicate that both intragranular homogeneous and heterogeneous precipitation occurred during cooling.

Harmonic scattering theory is first presented, and then a generalized near-field, direct imaging functional is proposed for free-space and near-ground target localization within the context of forward-looking radar standoff detection exploiting sequential single-tone excitation. The developed scattering and imaging analysis framework is illustrated for point-like and extended targets through numerical experiments performed with a hybrid method-of-moments solver, in conjunction with a harmonic balance approach and an asymptotic field propagation technique. The steady-state harmonic scattering responses are examined in the time, frequency, and image domains for scatterers in free-space and half-space environments, and accurate target localization is demonstrated in all cases for each harmonic order considered.

JO - Food Science & Nutrition JF - Food Science & Nutrition Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 195 EP - 201 SN - 20487177 AB - Development of n-3 fortified, shelf-stable foods is facilitated by encapsulated docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid ( EPA), since natural n-3 food sources cannot withstand high temperature and prolonged shelf life. Organoleptic stability of n-3 fortified, shelf-stable foods has been demonstrated, but chemical changes in the food matrix throughout storage could conceivably impact digestibility of the protein-based encapsulant thereby compromising n-3 bioavailability. We assessed the effect of prolonged high-temperature storage and variations in food matrix (proteinaceous or carbohydrate) on the time course and magnitude of blood fatty acids changes associated with ingestion of n-3 fortified foods. Low-protein (i.e., cake) and high-protein (i.e., meat sticks) items were supplemented with 600 mg encapsulated DHA+ EPA, and frozen either immediately after production ( FRESH) or after 6 months storage at 100°F ( STORED). Fourteen volunteers consumed one item per week (randomized) for 4 weeks. Blood samples obtained at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 h post-consumption were analyzed for circulating long-chain omega 3 fatty acids ( LCn3). There was no difference in LCn3 area under the curve between items. LCn3 in response to cakes peaked at 2-h ( FRESH: 54.0 ± 16.8 μg/ mL, +18%; STORED: 53.0 ± 13.2 μg/ mL, +20%), while meats peaked at 4-h ( FRESH: 51.9 ± 12.5 μg/ mL, +22%; STORED: 53.2 ± 16.9 μg/ mL, +18%). There were no appreciable differences in time course or magnitude of n-3 appearance in response to storage conditions for either food types. Thus, bioavailability of encapsulated DHA/ EPA, within low- and high-protein food items, was not affected by high-temperature shelf-storage. A shelf-stable, low- or high-protein food item with encapsulated DHA/ EPA is suitable for use in shelf-stable foods.

JO - Toxicon JF - Toxicon Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 98 M3 - Article SP - 12 EP - 19 SN - 00410101 AB - Two small molecular weight inhibitors, compounds CB7969312 and CB7967495, that displayed inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A in a previous study, were evaluated for inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes B, C, E, and F. The small molecular weight inhibitors were assessed by molecular modeling, UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay; and an ex vivo assay, the mouse phrenic nerve – hemidiaphragm assay (MPNHDA). While both compounds were inhibitors of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes B, C, and F in the MPNHDA, compound CB7969312 was effective at lower molar concentrations than compound CB7967495. However, compound CB7967495 was significantly more effective at preventing BoNTE intoxication than compound CB7969312. In the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay, CB7969312 was also more effective against LcC. Both compounds inhibited BoNTE, but not BoNTF, LcE, or LcF in the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay. Molecular modeling studies predicted that both compounds would be effective inhibitors of BoNTs B, C, E, and F. But CB7967495 was predicted to be a more effective inhibitor of the four serotypes (B, C, E, and F) than CB7969312. This is the first report of a small molecular weight compound that inhibits serotypes B, C, E, and F in the ex vivo assay.

Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: Personal characteristics, physical fitness, military occupational specialty (MOS), and injury data were obtained by survey from Soldiers in an Army light infantry brigade (n = 2101). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) from a multivariate analysis assessing injury risk were calculated. Results: Injury incidence for the prior 12 months was 43%. Physical fitness and behavioral factors associated with injury risk included age 21-29 (OR [age 21-29/age ≤ 20] = 1.37, 95% CI 1.00-1.90), BMI 27.5-29.9 (high-overweight) (OR high-overweight/normal = 1.62, 95% CI 1.20-2.18); BMI >29.9 (obese) (OR obese/normal = 1.73, 95% CI 1.23-2.44), cigarette smoking (OR Smoker/Nonsmoker = 1.34, 95% CI 1.11-1.63), and poor APFT two mile run performance (OR (Q4/Q1) = 1.61, 95% CI 1.19-2.19). Higher risk of injury was associated with some MOSs (OR (Chemical, Explosives & Ammunition/Infantry) = 2.82, 95% CI 1.19-6.68; OR (Armor/Infantry) = 1.53, 95% CI 1.13-2.07). Conclusion: This study identified a number of potentially modifiable risk factors for injuries including: maintenance of healthy weight, improved aerobic endurance, and reduction in smoking. Results also indicate certain Army occupations may be at higher risk of injury. Further investigation into reasons for their higher risk is warranted.

JO - NeuroImage JF - NeuroImage Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 111 M3 - Article SP - 513 EP - 525 SN - 10538119 AB - Rapid perceptual decision-making is believed to depend upon efficient allocation of neural resources to the processing of transient stimuli within task-relevant contexts. Given decision-making under severe time pressure, it is reasonable to posit that the brain configures itself, prior to processing stimulus information, in a way that depends upon prior beliefs and/or anticipation. However, relatively little is known about such configuration processes, how they might be manifested in the human brain, or ultimately how they mediate task performance. Here we show that network configuration, defined via pre-stimulus functional connectivity measures estimated from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, is predictive of performance in a time-pressured Go/No-Go task. Specifically, using connectivity measures to summarize network properties, we show that pre-stimulus brain state can be used to discriminate behaviorally correct and incorrect trials, as well as behaviorally correct commission and omission trial categories. More broadly, our results show that pre-stimulus functional configurations of cortical and sub-cortical networks can be a major determiner of task performance.

JO - Thrombosis Research JF - Thrombosis Research Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 135 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1000 EP - 1006 SN - 00493848 AB - Background Cell-derived microvesicles (MVs) in biological fluids are studied for their potential role in pathological conditions. Flow cytometry is used to characterize MVs. Polystyrene microspheres are often used in flow cytometry to distinguish MV from cells by setting a 1-μm MV gate in a side-scatter (SSC) vs. forward-scatter (FSC) dot plot. Polystyrene microspheres, however, exhibit higher FSC and SSC than MVs of equal size. Consequently, some platelets are included within the MV gate, which incorrectly increases the reported percentage of platelet-derived MVs. Silica microspheres exhibit FSC that is closer to that of cellular vesicles and, therefore, should permit more accurate discrimination of MV from platelets. Objective Compare silica with polystyrene microspheres to calibrate flow cytometers for definition of MV population and estimation of MV sizes. Methods Silica and polystyrene microspheres of various sizes were used in flow cytometry assays to define MV populations and determine platelet and MV sizes in human plasma samples. Sizes determined by flow cytometry were compared to sizes determined by resistive pulse sensing (RPS) method. Results/Conclusion Use of 1.0-μm polystyrene microspheres to define the upper MV gate produced a median platelet contamination of 16.53% (8.24, 20.98) of the MV population; whereas, use of 1.0-μm silica microspheres excluded platelet events completely. Calibration with silica microspheres resulted in significantly better estimation of MV diameter than calibration with polystyrene microspheres. We conclude that silica microspheres are superior to polystyrene microspheres as standards to define MV populations without platelet contamination and to determine MV sizes by flow cytometry for a given cytometer.

The fuel conversion, product selectivities, and reaction kinetics were calculated, and the global combustion behavior observed. The results showed that increasing the amount of m-xylene in the fuel increased the fuel conversion from 85% (pure dodecane) to 92% (90/10) and further to 98% (80/20). The presence of xylene also significantly increased CO 2 /H 2 O selectivity and decreased CO/H 2 selectivity. Global activation energy increased linearly with increase in xylene content, supporting that addition of aromatic species to fuel lowers the overall reactivity. The non-catalytic reaction was also simulated using Chemkin software to determine the effect of the Rh catalyst on the combustor performance and to analyze the difference in chemical mechanisms. The results revealed that the catalyst promotes total oxidation over partial oxidation, and lowers the global activation energy by up to 70%.

From these FPA measurements an assessment of the dark current, noise, conversion efficiency and noise-equivalent temperature difference is provided herein. Histogram results are used to support a statistical interpretation of operability and non-uniformity across the R-QWIP FPA. In addition, single pixel devices fabricated from the same wafer lot enabled supplemental noise gain and spectral response measurements. The spectral response of this R-QWIP structure was confirmed to peak around 8.3 microns with a spectral bandwidth or approximately 1 micron (full-width half maximum) and the noise gain measurements were used to provide an estimation of the expected external quantum efficiency (conversion efficiency = quantum efficiency ∗ gain).

JO - Infrared Physics & Technology JF - Infrared Physics & Technology Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 70 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 52 SN - 13504495 AB - The efficacy of solution deposition of thiolated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has been explored for the purpose of passivating III–V type II superlattice (T2SL) photodetectors, more specifically a p-type heterojunction device. Sulfur passivation has previously been achieved on T2SL devices. However, degradation over time, temperature sensitivity and inconsistent reproducibility necessitate a physical encapsulate that can chemically bond to the chemical passivant. Thus, this research investigates two passivation methods, surface passivation with a thiol monolayer and passivation with a polymer encapsulant with a view toward future combination of these techniques. Analysis of the physical and chemical condition of the surface prior to deposition assisted in the development of ideal processes for optimized film quality. Successful deposition was facilitated by in situ oxide removal. Various commercially available functional (cysteamine) and non-functional (alkane) thiolated monolayers were investigated. Dark current was reduced by 3 orders of magnitude and achieved negligible surface leakage at low bias levels. The lowest dark current result, 7.69 × 10 −6 A/cm 2 at 50 mV, was achieved through passivation with cysteamine.

Dark current vs. bias, photoresponse, quantum efficiency, lifetime, and modeling are used to correlate device performance with the wide gap barrier composition. Decreases in dark current density and operating bias were observed as the conduction band of the wide gap barrier was lowered with respect to the absorber layer. The device achieved 95% of its maximum quantum efficiency at 0 V bias, and 100% by 0.05 V. This study demonstrates key device design parameters responsible for optimal performance of heterojunction based SLS LWIR detectors.

JO - Infrared Physics & Technology JF - Infrared Physics & Technology Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 70 M3 - Article SP - 25 EP - 29 SN - 13504495 AB - Resonator-quantum well infrared photodetectors (R-QWIPs) are the next generation of QWIP detectors that use resonances to increase the quantum efficiency (QE). To achieve the expected performance, the detector geometry must be produced in precise specification. In particular, the height of the diffractive elements (DE) and the thickness of the active resonator must be uniformly and accurately realized to within 0.05 μm accuracy and the substrates of the detectors have to be removed totally. To achieve these specifications, two optimized inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching processes are developed. Using these etching techniques, we have fabricated a number of R-QWIP test detectors and FPAs with the required dimensions and completely removed the substrates of the test detectors and FPAs. Their QE spectra were tested to be in close agreement with the theoretical predictions. The operability and spectral non-uniformity of the FPA is about 99.57% and 3% respectively.

It is applicable to any arbitrary detector geometry and materials. Using this model, we can accurately account for the open literature experimental results that we have investigated, which include those from GaAs solar cells, GaSb type-II superlattices, and GaAs quantum wells. We applied the model to design a photon trap to increase detector QE. By accumulating and storing incident light in the resonator-QWIP structure, we observed experimental QE as high as 71%. This improvement shows that we are now able to fully determine the optical properties of QWIPs. For example, we can design QWIPs to detect at certain wavelengths with certain bandwidths. To illustrate this capability, we designed QWIPs with its QE spectrum matching well with the transmission spectrum of a medium. We subsequently produced several focal plane arrays according to these designs with 640 × 512 and 1 K × 1 K formats. In this paper, we will compare the modeled QE and the experimental results obtained from single detectors as well as FPAs.

Numerical simulations were performed for this projectile with roll control maneuvers using advanced computational fluid dynamics and coupled aerodynamics/rigid-body dynamics techniques. Roll control algorithms were formulated based on aerodynamic model assessment and parameter estimation. Coupled techniques were validated against wind tunnel experiments for roll control maneuvers. Overall, computed roll control results matched well with the wind tunnel data, indicating that the coupled calculations capture the relevant physics observed in the experiment. This study demonstrates that relatively simple aerodynamic models can be used to represent complex aerodynamic phenomena for these configurations at Mach 0.49. Additionally, roll controllers with favorable performance over a wide range of conditions can be designed based on these models of the aeromechanics.

Predictions of axial and azimuthal pressure profiles were found to be very dependent on the turbulence model, with some models performing relatively poorly. Menter's baseline model gave very good to excellent predictions and was used to perform additional validations of other flow conditions, jet nozzle configurations, and jet pressure ratios: again with excellent agreement. The study found that, even with the observed variations in surface pressure, the aerodynamic forces and moments produced by the lateral jet interaction were much less sensitive to the turbulence model. However, an estimate of the trajectory and strength of the counter-rotating vortex pair showed that, although there was little effect of the turbulence model on the location of the vortex pair, the induced vorticity varied by over 30%. This difference can be large enough to impact the prediction of the resultant forces and moments if there are fins or other appendages in the wake of the counter-rotating vortex pair.

Several algorithms for generating such structures exist, but it is so far not clear what impact the choice of algorithm has on thermal and material properties one typically wants to use simulations to predict. We generated cross-linked systems comprised of stoichiometric amounts of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and poly(oxyproplylene) diamine using two methods: (1) a single-step approach, in which cross-link bonds are assigned based on a Monte-Carlo algorithm that minimizes aggregate bond lengths, and (2) a multi-step approach, which uses an incrementally increasing capture radius to identify bonding partners. The choice of cross-linking method has only a minimal impact on thermal and mechanical properties. The minimum nitrogen-to-nitrogen contour-length distributions are also insensitive to the method. However, significant differences were found in the molecular weight distribution of fragments formed by cutting each POP cross-linker between the amines: the single-step method results in fewer, larger fragments compared to the multi-step method. This indicates that the networks formed by the two methods are qualitatively different, and underscores the need for further studies to characterize the influence of polymer network connectivity both in simulations and experiments.

The aim of this study is to quantify the burden of SLAP lesions in the military and establish risk factors for diagnosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all service members diagnosed with a SLAP lesion (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision code 840.70) in the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database between 2002 and 2009 was performed. Available epidemiological risk factors including age, sex, race, military rank, and branch of service were evaluated using multivariate Poisson regression analysis, and cumulative and subgroup incidence rates were calculated. Results: During the study period, approximately 23,632 SLAP lesions were diagnosed among a population at risk of 11,082,738, resulting in an adjusted incidence rate of 2.13 per 1,000 person-years. The adjusted annual incidence rate for SLAP lesions increased from 0.31 cases per 1,000 person-years in 2002 to 1.88 cases per 1,000 person-years in 2009, with an average annual increase of 21.2 % (95 % CI 20.7 %, 22.0 %, p < 0.0001) during the study period. Age, sex, race, branch of military service, and military rank were independent risk factors associated with the incidence rate of SLAP lesion ( p < 0.01). Male service members were over twofold more likely (IRR, 2.12; 95 % CI 2.01, 2.23) to sustain a SLAP lesion when compared with females. Increasing age category was associated with a statistically significant increase in the incidence rate for SLAP lesions in the present study ( p < 0.001). After controlling for the other variables, those individuals of white race, enlisted ranks, or Marine Corps service experienced the highest incidence rates for SLAP. Conclusion: This is the first study to establish the epidemiology of SLAP lesions within an active military cohort in the American population. Sex, age, race, military rank, and branch of military service were all independently associated with the incidence rate of SLAP lesions in this physically active population at high risk for shoulder injury.

JO - Injury JF - Injury Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 46 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 775 EP - 780 SN - 00201383 AB - Background Collider bias, or stratifying data by a covariate consequence rather than cause (confounder) of treatment and outcome, plagues randomised and observational trauma research. Of the seven trials of prehospital hypertonic saline in dextran (HSD) that have been evaluated in systematic reviews, none found an overall between-group difference in survival, but four reported significant subgroup effects. We hypothesised that an avoidable type of collider bias often introduced inadvertently into trauma comparative effectiveness research could explain the incongruous findings. Methods The two most recent HSD trials, a single-site pilot and a multi-site pivotal study, provided data for a secondary analysis to more closely examine the potential for collider bias. The two trials had followed the a priori statistical analysis plan to subgroup patients by a post-randomisation covariate and well-established surrogate for bleeding severity, massive transfusion (MT), ≥10 unit of red blood cells within 24 h of admission. Despite favourable HSD effects in the MT subgroup, opposite effects in the non-transfused subgroup halted the pivotal trial early. In addition to analyzing the data from the two trials, we constructed causal diagrams and performed a meta-analysis of the results from all seven trials to assess the extent to which collider bias could explain null overall effects with subgroup heterogeneity. Results As in previous trials, HSD induced significantly greater increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from prehospital to admission than control crystalloid ( p = 0.003). Proportionately more HSD than control decedents accrued in the non-transfused subgroup, but with paradoxically longer survival. Despite different study populations and a span of over 20 years across the seven trials, the reported mortality effects were consistently null, summary RR = 0.99 ( p = 0.864, homogeneity p = 0.709). Conclusions HSD delayed blood transfusion by modifying standard triggers like SBP with no detectable effect on survival. The reported heterogeneous HSD effects in subgroups can be explained by collider bias that trauma researchers can avoid by improved covariate selection and data capture strategies.

JO - Experimental Brain Research JF - Experimental Brain Research Y1 - 2015/05// VL - 233 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1481 EP - 1489 SN - 00144819 AB - A criticism of laboratory vigilance or sustained attention research is the employment of static monotonous tasks with repetitive targets as opposed to the use of dynamic tasks with novel target stimuli. Unfortunately dynamic tasks employing novel stimuli may result in the mixture of two cognitive processes: active sustained attention search and passive perceptual learning. Moreover, the relative engagement of these two processes may depend on individual differences. In the present study, we examined this by having participants perform a dynamic auditory vigilance task with rare novel targets. In addition, some participants performed this task while also performing a secondary motor tracking task, a dual-task scenario. In the dual-task scenario, participants who failed to accurately detect the first target stimuli showed improvements in their tracking performance with time-on-task, suggesting reserves of attention. This improvement in tracking performance was not evident for those who accurately detected the first target stimuli, as their attention was likely actively engaged (searching). In addition, participants in the dual-task scenario who accurately detected the first target stimuli reported high workload and increased post-task tense arousal, results characteristic of participants performing static vigilance tasks. These results indicate the possibility that in a dynamic vigilance task with novel target stimuli participants may diverge in how they approach the task. Some participants will actively monitor the display for targets (search), whereas others will passively learn the target stimuli. Thus, these tasks may pose significant challenges to researchers who wish to examine vigilance in isolation from perceptual learning.

Although there is a significant amount of research related to mentoring in the fields of education, nursing, business, and medical professions, there is a dearth of research on the implementation and effectiveness of mentoring programs in clinical psychology training programs, such as internships and postdoctoral fellowships (Green & Hawkley, 2009). Few, if any, studies have examined the feasibility and potential impact of developing mentoring programs in predoctoral and postdoctoral clinical psychology training sites. The current article seeks to address this gap in the literature by discussing the development and implementation of a mentoring program for clinical psychology postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral interns in a 1-year training program at a large Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The benefits of having a mentoring relationship that is independent of clinical supervision are discussed. Implications for mentoring in similar clinical training programs and considerations for developing a mentoring program will be discussed.

Bisubstrate analogues containing the allylic and homoallylic substrates were synthesized by joining fragments for IPP and the allylic diphosphates with a C-C bond between the methyl group at C3 in IPP and the Z-methyl group at C3 in DMAPP (3-OPP) and GPP (4-OPP), respectively. These constructs placed substantial limits on the conformational space available to the analogues relative to the two substrates. The key features of the synthesis of bisubstrate analogues 3-OPP and 4-OPP are a regioselective C-alkylation of the dianion of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol (5), a Z-selective cuprate addition of alkyl groups to an α,β-alkynyl ester intermediate, and differential activation of allylic and homoallylic alcohols in the analogues, followed by a simultaneous displacement of the leaving groups with tris(tetra-n-butylammonium) hydrogen diphosphate to give the corresponding bisdiphosphate analogues. The bisubstrate analogues were substrates for FPP synthase, giving novel seven- membered ring analogues of GPP and FPP. The catalytic efficiencies for cyclization of 3-OPP and 4-OPP were similar to those for chain elongation with IPP and DMAPP.

Bacillus subtilis spores maximum germination rates via different GRs required different 75°C heat activation times: 15 min for L-valine germination via the GerA GR and 4 h for germination with the L-asparagine- glucose-fructose-K+ mixture via the GerB and GerK GRs, with GerK requiring the most heat activation. In some cases, optimal heat activation decreased nutrient concentrations for half-maximal germination rates. Germination of spores via various GRs by high pressure (HP) of 150 MPa exhibited heat activation requirements similar to those of nutrient germination, and the loss of the GerD protein, required for optimal GR function, did not eliminate heat activation requirements for maximal germination rates. These results are consistent with heat activation acting primarily on GRs. However, (i) heat activation had no effects on GR or GerD protein conformation, as probed by biotinylation by an external reagent; (ii) spores prepared at low and high temperatures that affect spores' IM properties exhibited large differences in heat activation requirements for nutrient germination; and (iii) spore germination by 550 MPa of HP was also affected by heat activation, but the effects were relatively GR independent. The last results are consistent with heat activation affecting spores' IM and only indirectly affecting GRs. The 150- and 550-MPa HP germinations of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens spores, a potential surrogate for Clostridium botulinum spores in HP treatments of foods, were also stimulated by heat activation.

JO - Acta Materialia JF - Acta Materialia Y1 - 2015/04/15/ VL - 88 M3 - Article SP - 252 EP - 259 SN - 13596454 AB - Ceramics are known to be mechanically hard, chemically inert and electrically insulating for many important applications. However, they usually suffer from brittleness and have moderate strength that strongly depends on their microscopic structure. In this study, we report a size induced brittle-to-ductile transition in single-crystal aluminum nitride (AlN). When the specimen diameters are smaller than ∼3–4 μm, AlN micropillars show metal-like plastic flow under room-temperature uniaxial compression. The unprecedented plastic strain of ∼5–10% together with the ultrahigh strength of ∼6.7 GPa has never been achieved before. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrates that dislocations play a dominant role in the plasticity of the micro-sized AlN.

T1 - A rat model of nerve agent exposure applicable to the pediatric population: The anticonvulsant efficacies of atropine and GluK1 antagonists. JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2015/04/15/ VL - 284 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 204 EP - 216 SN - 0041008X AB - Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) after nerve agent exposure induces status epilepticus (SE), which causes brain damage or death. The development of countermeasures appropriate for the pediatric population requires testing of anticonvulsant treatments in immature animals. In the present study, exposure of 21-day-old (P21) rats to different doses of soman, followed by probit analysis, produced an LD 50 of 62 μg/kg. The onset of behaviorally-observed SE was accompanied by a dramatic decrease in brain AChE activity; rats who did not develop SE had significantly less reduction of AChE activity in the basolateral amygdala than rats who developed SE. Atropine sulfate (ATS) at 2 mg/kg, administered 20 min after soman exposure (1.2 × LD 50 ), terminated seizures. ATS at 0.5 mg/kg, given along with an oxime within 1 min after exposure, allowed testing of anticonvulsants at delayed time-points. The AMPA/GluK1 receptor antagonist LY293558, or the specific GluK1 antagonist UBP302, administered 1 h post-exposure, terminated SE. There were no degenerating neurons in soman-exposed P21 rats, but both the amygdala and the hippocampus were smaller than in control rats at 30 and 90 days post-exposure; this pathology was not present in rats treated with LY293558. Behavioral deficits present at 30 days post-exposure, were also prevented by LY293558 treatment. Thus, in immature animals, a single injection of atropine is sufficient to halt nerve agent-induced seizures, if administered timely. Testing anticonvulsants at delayed time-points requires early administration of ATS at a low dose, sufficient to counteract only peripheral toxicity. LY293558 administered 1 h post-exposure, prevents brain pathology and behavioral deficits.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2015/04/07/ VL - 87 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3598 EP - 3605 SN - 00032700 AB - The current rectification factor can be tailored by changing the degree of asymmetry between the fluid baths on opposite sides of a nanocapillary membrane (NCM). A symmetric device with symmetric fluid baths connected to opposite sides of the NCM did not rectify ionic current; while a NCM connected between fluid baths with a 32-fold difference in cross-sectional area produced a rectification factor of 75. The data suggests that the primary mechanism for the current rectification is the change in cross-sectional area of the fluid baths and the polarity dependent propagation of the enriched and depleted concentration polarization (CP) zones into these regions. An additional contribution to the increasing rectification factor with increasing bath asymmetry appears to be a result of electroconvection in the macropore, with inside diameters (IDs) of 625 and 850-μm. Power spectral density (PSD) analysis reveals chaotic oscillations that are consistent with electroconvection in the I-t data of the 625 and 850-μm ID macropore devices. In the ON state, current rectification keeps ionic transport toward the NCM high, increasing the speed of processes like sample enrichment. A diodes with tailored current rectification factors.

Contributing factors like device location and background noise have been explored, but little attention has been paid to the role of individual user differences. Because BC signals travel through an individual's skull and facial tissues, demographic factors such as user age, sex, race, or regional origin may influence sound transmission. Vocal traits such as pitch, spectral tilt, jitter, and shimmer may also play a role. Along with microphone placement and background noise, these factors can affect BC speech intelligibility. Eight diverse talkers were recorded with bone microphones on two different skull locations and in different background noise conditions. Twenty-four diverse listeners listened to these samples over BC and completed Modified Rhyme Tests for speech intelligibility. Forehead bone recordings were more intelligible than condyle recordings. In condyle recordings, female talkers, talkers with high fundamental frequency, and talkers in background noise were understood better, as were communications between talkers and listeners of the same regional origin. Listeners' individual traits had no significant effects. Thoughtful application of this knowledge can help improve BC communication for diverse users.

JO - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP JF - Regulatory Toxicology & Pharmacology: RTP Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 71 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 571 EP - 584 SN - 02732300 AB - The ten Berge model (or “toxic load” model) is often used to estimate the acute toxicity for varying combinations of inhaled concentration and duration. Expressed as C n × t = toxic load (TL), TLs are assumed constant for various combinations of concentration ( C ) and time ( t ). Experimental data in a recent acute inhalation study of rats exposed to time-varying concentrations of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) supported the validity of the toxic load model except under very brief, discontinuous, high concentration exposures. In the present investigation, experiments were conducted to extend the evaluation of the applicable domain of the model for acute lethality of HCN in the rat (cumulative exposure range of 2900–11,000 ppm min). The lethality of HCN over very short (<5 min) durations of high concentrations did not conform to the toxic load model. A value of n = 1.57 was determined for uninterrupted exposures ⩾5 min. For 30-min exposures, the presence or absence of a gap between two exposure pulses of different concentrations, the relative duration, relative height, and the ordering of the pulses (low then high, vs. high then low) did not appear to have a meaningful impact on the toxic load required for median lethality.

The low-spin structure is discussed within the framework of shell-model calculations using the GXPF1A effective interaction. Two quasirotational bands consisting of stretched-E2 transitions have been established up to spins I=41/2 and (43/2), and excitation energies of ~17 and ~20 MeV, respectively. These are interpreted as signature partners built on a neutron ?(g9/2)² configuration coupled to a proton πp3/2 state, based on cranked shell model (CSM) calculations and comparisons with observations in neighboring nuclei. In addition, four ΔI=1 bands were populated to high spin, with the yrast dipole band interpreted as a possible candidate for the shears mechanism, a process seldom observed thus far in this mass region.

In this regard, cooperation with Damascus has provided Tehran with a number of strategic advantages, which it is loath to surrender. More recently, the Iranians have also come to view Syria as a vital ally against the threat of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). In this environment, the Islamic Republic will likely continue to bolster the Asad regime even if the Syrian civil war continues for years.

A multimodal software suite for platform automation and sensor monitoring is demonstrated using a three-level heuristic software suite and sensor network. The vibration diagnostic methods used in the platform have applications in rotary microsystems for the early detection of failure, fault diagnosis, and integrated diagnostic systems for feedback-based optimization to increase device performance, reliability, and operational lifetimes. The studied rotary microdevice used a dual OTS accelerometer configuration for dual range parallel redundant vibration analysis. The sensor suite has been used to monitor and detect multiple operational parameters measured optimally in time or frequency domains such as rotor instability, imbalance, wobble, and system resonance. This paper will lay the framework for active diagnostics in future MEMS devices through integrated systems.

JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 511 M3 - Article SP - 309 EP - 318 SN - 00489697 AB - Dredging to maintain navigable waterways is important for supporting trade and economic sustainability. Dredged sediments are removed from the waterways and then must be managed in a way that meets regulatory standards and properly balances management costs and risks. Selection of a best management alternative often results in stakeholder conflict regarding tradeoffs between local environmental impacts associated with less expensive alternatives (e.g., open water placement), more expensive measures that require sediment disposal in constructed facilities far away (e.g., landfills), or beneficial uses that may be perceived as risky (e.g., beach nourishment or island creation). Current sediment-placement decisions often focus on local and immediate environmental effects from the sediment itself, ignoring a variety of distributed and long-term effects from transportation and placement activities. These extended effects have implications for climate change, resource consumption, and environmental and human health, which may be meaningful topics for many stakeholders not currently considered. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a systematic and quantitative method for accounting for this wider range of impacts and benefits across all sediment management project stages and time horizons. This paper applies a cradle-to-use LCA to dredged-sediment placement through a comparative analysis of potential upland, open water, and containment-island placement alternatives in the Long Island Sound region of NY/CT. Results suggest that, in cases dealing with uncontaminated sediments, upland placement may be the most environmentally burdensome alternative, per ton-kilometer of placed material, due to the emissions associated with diesel fuel combustion and electricity production and consumption required for the extra handling and transportation. These results can be traded-off with the ecosystem impacts of the sediments themselves in a decision-making framework.

Unfortunately, several dominant food-producing states have pursued legislative initiatives that punish farm whistleblowers and silence investigative tactics. First, this research describes various state legislative initiatives that curb criticism of agriculture. The work analyzes the federal food safety system and how these protections limiting agricultural criticism contravene that food safety net. Further, the research analyzes the free speech concerns in the newest protectionist laws. The analysis recommends strategies and future research to improve agriculture safety and protect free speech in an evolving food safety landscape.

In this work, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX)-based nanocomposite microparticles were prepared by spray drying. To understand the crystallization process during spray drying which is necessary for tailoring the high explosive crystal size, we characterized the nanostructure of the microparticles, which shows that: (1) the size of RDX crystals decreases radially across the microparticles from the center to surface, with RDX crystals on the surface generally within the range of hundreds of nanometers; (2) the droplet size has a considerable effect on the size distribution of RDX crystals in the microparticles; and (3) the binder is distributed uniformly inside the microparticles. The detailed characterization of the nanostructure of the microparticles sheds light on the crystallization of RDX during spray drying. The knowledge gained from this study can help improve the control of RDX crystal size during spray drying and enable achieving a material with near-optimal sensitivity and performance.

The development of molecular methods and immuno-based techniques for detection of pathogenic Listeria in foods has been challenging due to the presence of assay inhibiting food components. In this study, we utilize a macrophage cell culture system for the isolation and enrichment of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii from infant formula and leafy green vegetables for subsequent identification using the Luminex xMAP technique. Macrophage monolayers were exposed to infant formula, lettuce and celery contaminated with L. monocytogenes or L. ivanovii . Magnetic microspheres conjugated to Listeria specific antibody were used to capture Listeria from infected macrophages and then analyzed using the Bio-Plex 200 analyzer. As few as 10 CFU/mL or g of L. monocytogenes was detected in all foods tested. The detection limit for L. ivanovii was 10 CFU/mL in infant formula and 100 CFU/g in leafy greens. Microsphere bound Listeria obtained from infected macrophage lysates could also be isolated on selective media for subsequent confirmatory identification. This method presumptively identifies L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii from infant formula, lettuce and celery in less than 28 h with confirmatory identifications completed in less than 48 h.

JO - Molecular & Cellular Biology JF - Molecular & Cellular Biology Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 35 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1182 EP - 1196 SN - 02707306 AB - Phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase (PI3K) regulates a number of developmental and physiologic processes in skeletal muscle; however, the contributions of individual PI3K p110 catalytic subunits to these processes are not well-defined. To address this question, we investigated the role of the 110-kDa PI3K catalytic subunit β (p110β) in myogenesis and metabolism. In C2C12 cells, pharmacological inhibition of p110β delayed differentiation. We next generated mice with conditional deletion of p110β in skeletal muscle (p110β muscle knockout [p110β-mKO] mice). While young p110β-mKO mice possessed a lower quadriceps mass and exhibited less strength than control littermates, no differences in muscle mass or strength were observed between genotypes in old mice. However, old p110β-mKO mice were less glucose tolerant than old control mice. Overexpression of p110β accelerated differentiation in C2C12 cells and primary human myoblasts through an Akt-dependent mechanism, while expression of kinase-inactive p110β had the opposite effect, p1 10P overexpression was unable to promote myoblast differentiation under conditions of p110α inhibition, but expression of p110α was able to promote differentiation under conditions of p110β inhibition. These findings reveal a role for p110β during myogenesis and demonstrate that long-term reduction of skeletal muscle p110β impairs whole-body glucose tolerance without affecting skeletal muscle size or strength in old mice.

JO - Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases JF - Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 39 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 24 SN - 01479571 AB - Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis , which is transmitted to humans most commonly by contact with infected animals, tick bites, or inhalation of aerosolized bacteria. F. tularensis is highly infectious via the aerosol route; inhalation of as few as 10–50 organisms can cause pneumonic tularemia. Left untreated, the pneumonic form has more than >30% case-fatality rate but with early antibiotic intervention can be reduced to 3%. This study compared tularemia disease progression across three species of nonhuman primates [African green monkey (AGM), cynomolgus macaque (CM), and rhesus macaque (RM)] following aerosolized F. tularensis Schu S4 exposure. Groups of the animals exposed to various challenge doses were observed for clinical signs of infection and blood samples were analyzed to characterize the disease pathogenesis. Whereas the AGMs and CMs succumbed to disease following challenge doses of 40 and 32 colony forming units (CFU), respectively, the RM lethal dose was 276,667 CFU. Following all challenge doses that caused disease, the NHPs experienced weight loss, bacteremia, fever as early as 4 days post exposure, and tissue burden. Necrotizing-to-pyogranulomatous lesions were observed most commonly in the lung, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. Overall, the CM model consistently manifested pathological responses similar to those resulting from inhalation of F. tularensis in humans and thereby most closely emulates human tularemia disease. The RM model displayed a higher tolerance to infection and survived exposures of up to 15,593 CFU of aerosolized F. tularensis .

JO - Perceptual & Motor Skills JF - Perceptual & Motor Skills Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 120 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 438 EP - 461 SN - 00315125 AB - Summary .— When navigating, people tend to overestimate distances when routes contain more turns, termed the route-angularity eff ect . Three experiments examined the source and generality of this eff ect. The fi rst two experiments examined whether route-angularity eff ects occur while viewing maps and might be related to sex diff erences or sense of direction. The third experiment tested whether the route-angularity eff ect would occur with stimuli devoid of spatial context, reducing infl uences of environmental experience and visual complexity. In the three experiments, participants ( N = 1,552; M = 32.2 yr.; 992 men, 560 women) viewed paths plotted on maps (Exps. 1 and 2) or against a blank background (Exp. 3). The depicted paths were always the same overall length, but varied in the number of turns (from 1 to 7) connecting an origin and destination. Participants were asked to estimate the time to traverse each path (Exp. 1) or the length of each path (Exps. 2 and 3). The Santa Barbara Sense of Direction questionnaire was administered to assess whether overall spatial sense of direction would be negatively related to the magnitude of the route-angularity eff ect. Repeated-measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) indicated that paths with more turns elicited estimates of greater distance and travel times, whether they were depicted on maps or blank backgrounds. Linear regressions also indicated that these eff ects were signifi cantly larger in those with a relatively low sense of direction. The results support the route-angularity eff ect and extend it to paths plotted on map-based stimuli. Furthermore, because the route-angularity eff ect was shown with paths plotted against blank backgrounds, route-angularity eff ects are not specifi c to understanding environments and may arise at the level of visual perception.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 29 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1136 EP - 1142 AB - Interactions between dietary protein and energy balance on the regulation of human skeletal muscle protein turnover are not well described. A dietary protein intake above the recommended dietary allowance during energy balance typically enhances nitrogen retention and up-regulates muscle protein synthesis, which in turn may promote positive protein balance and skeletal muscle accretion. Recent studies show that during energy deficit, muscle protein synthesis is down-regulated with concomitant increases in ubiquitin proteasome-mediated muscle proteolysis and nitrogen excretion, reflecting the loss of skeletal muscle mass. However, consuming high-protein diets (1.6-2.4 g/kg per day), or high-quality, protein-based meals (15-30 g whey) during energy deficit attenuates intracellular proteolysis, restores muscle protein synthesis, and mitigates skeletal muscle loss. These findings are particularly important for physically active, normal-weight individuals because attenuating the extent to which skeletal muscle mass is lost during energy deficit could prevent decrements in performance, reduce injury risk, and facilitate recovery. This article reviews the relationship between energy status, protein intake, and muscle protein turnover, and explores future research directives designed to protect skeletal muscle mass in physically active, normal-weight adults.

Here, we used luciferase-expressing reporter Sendai viruses (the murine counterpart of HPIV1) to noninvasively measure primary infection, immune responses, and protection from reinfection by either a lethal challenge or natural transmission in living mice. Both nonattenuated and attenuated reporter Sendai viruses were used, and three inoculation strategies were employed: intramuscular (i.m.), intranasal (i.n.) at a low dose and low volume, and i.n. at a high dose and high volume. High-dose, high-volume i.n. inoculation resulted in the highest levels of antibody responses and protection from reinfection. Low-dose, low-volume i.n. inoculation afforded complete protection from contact transmission and protection from morbidity, mortality, and viral growth during lethal challenge. i.m. inoculation was inferior to i.n. inoculation at inducing antibody responses and protection from challenge. For individual mice and across groups, the levels of serum binding and neutralizing antibody responses correlated with primary infection and protection from reinfection in the lungs. Contact transmission, the predominant mode of parainfluenza virus transmission, was modeled accurately by direct i.n. inoculation of Sendai virus at a low dose and low volume and was completely preventable by i.n. vaccination of an attenuated virus at a low dose and low volume. The data highlight differences in infection and protection from challenge in the upper versus lower respiratory tract and bear upon live attenuated vaccine development.

The bridge was made with 94% recycled plastic material, primarily recycled high-density polyethylene. An M1 Abrams battle tank and a loaded dump truck were used as a live load to determine the appropriate military load classification (MLC) and civilian load rating for the bridge superstructure. The bridge was designed to support the M1 Abrams battle tank with a gross weight of 63.5 tones to replace a dilapidated timber bridge that, because of its condition, was limited to a maximum load of 4.26 tones. A finite element analysis (FEA) of the entire superstructure based on the load test results indicated that the bridge exceeded design specifications and performed in a normal linear–elastic manner with relatively small viscoelastic responses for all loads.

Systems Y1 - 2015/04// VL - 45 IS - 4 M3 - Case Study SP - 662 EP - 674 SN - 21682216 AB - A fundamental challenge for system engineers is to capture a problem with an effective model or framework and then facilitate transferring the information of that captured problem to practical systems engineering tools and methods. The early problem definition phase requires an application of systems thinking with adequate modeling tools and methods. Then, the later problem definition phase and early system architecting phase requires transferring the captured problem to systems engineering tools and methods through emerging techniques such as model-based systems engineering (MBSE) using SysML (MBSE is the practice of using a modeling tools to capture systems engineering diagrams). This paper presents a method for capturing a problem through systemigrams and the Boardman soft systems methodology and then directly translating the systemigrams into SysML diagrams. With MBSE increasing in usage, this method could provide a time savings opportunity during model development along with the possibility of lowering information distortion or loss that can occur during transformation of systems thinking to systems engineering activities. This paper includes a case study which demonstrates how the proposed approach was applied on a problem being considered by the U.S. Army—Contingency Basing for Small Combat Units. Finally, this paper will provide the conclusion on the development of the method and describe future research directions that can allow systems thinking and MBSE to function in a congruent methodology.

JO - Physical Review E JF - Physical Review E Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 95 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 24700045 AB - We derive alternative Markov approximations for the projected (stochastic) force and memory function in the coarse-grained (CG) generalized Langevin equation, which describes the time evolution of the center-of-mass coordinates of clusters of particles in the microscopic ensemble. This is done with the aid of the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator method based on the recently introduced projection operator [S. Izvekov, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 134106 (2013)]. The derivation exploits the "generalized additive fluctuating force" representation to which the projected force reduces in the adopted projection operator formalism. For the projected force, we present a first-order time expansion which correctly extends the static fluctuating force ansatz with the terms necessary to maintain the required orthogonality of the projected dynamics in the Markov limit to the space of CG phase variables. The approximant of the memory function correctly accounts for the momentum dependence in the lowest (second) order and indicates that such a dependence may be important in the CG dynamics approaching the Markov limit. In the case of CG dynamics with a weak dependence of the memory effects on the particle momenta, the expression for the memory function presented in this work is applicable to non-Markov systems. The approximations are formulated in a propagator-free form allowing their efficient evaluation from the microscopic data sampled by standard molecular dynamics simulations. A numerical application is presented for a molecular liquid (nitromethane). With our formalism we do not observe the "plateau-value problem" if the friction tensors for dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) are computed using the Green-Kubo relation. Our formalism provides a consistent bottom-up route for hierarchical parametrization of DPD models from atomistic simulations.

Here, we have used this approach to quantify magnetic property distributions and understand the nano-scale mechanisms contributing to the magnetic anisotropy of Fe-(Ni0.5Zn0.5)Fe2O4 nanocomposites. The Fe-(Ni0.5Zn0.5)Fe2O4 nanocomposite powders were synthesized using a chemical method involving ferrite precipitation and controlled reduction which resulted in the formation of iron nanoclusters within the ferrite. Two samples with a ∼65% and ∼6% iron composition, respectively, were studied. Transmission electron microscopy measurements yielded an average particle size of ∼15 nm (∼65% Fe) and ∼60 nm (∼6% Fe). The magnetizations at 7 T for the synthesized nanocomposites (M7T = 58 Am2 kg-1 for the ∼65% Fe sample and 55 Am2 kg-1 for the ∼6% Fe sample) are close to that of the bulk saturation magnetization (∼60 Am2 kg-1) of (Ni0.5Zn0.5)Fe2O4. This is not typical in these ferrite systems, due to poor crystallinity. In our samples, the observed large M7T may result from the presence of the iron nanoclusters, as well as improved crystallinity. However, there is a slope to the magnetization at high fields which has typically been attributed to surface spin canting. This may instead be an indication of reduced crystallinity at the surface of the nanoparticles, especially in the ∼65% Fe sample. Furthermore, a difference in interactions between the ferrite and the iron nanoclusters in the two samples results in different anisotropy distributions, as evidenced by a broad transition to saturation for the first sample, and a much sharper transition for the second sample, and confirmed through first order reversal curve measurements.

Analysis of low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation spectra for bound excitons compared to the temperature-dependent behavior of the green emission reveals a deep correlation between green PL and specific donor-bound excitons. Direct excitation of these bound excitons produces highly efficient green emission from near-surface defects. When normalized by the measured external quantum efficiency, the integrated PL for both excitonic and green emission features grows identically with excitation intensity, confirming the strong connection between green emission and excitons. The implications of these findings are used to circumscribe operational characteristics of doped ZnO-based white light phosphors whose quantum efficiency is almost twice as large when the bound excitons are directly excited.

The derivation is based on the projection operator method and time-convolution equation. We demonstrate that due to the energy exchange between CG and intraparticle phase space coordinates in the microscopic system, the choice of projection operator is not unique, leading to different CG equations of motion that have the form of the nonlinear generalized Langevin equation (GLE). We derive the idempotence properties for the projection operators along the system trajectories and show that these properties result in streaming terms of the respective GLEs that are conservative forces and allow the expression of the non-conservative forces explicitly through thermodynamic averages, which can be measured from the microscopic simulations. The difference between GLEs that are presented herein lies in how the non-conservative forces are partitioned into dissipative and projected contributions. We compute the projected force and analyze conditions under which the projected (stochastic) force is orthogonal to (uncorrelated with) the momenta of CG particles, therefore justifying a transition to a framework of stochastic differential equations. We show that a position- and momentum-independent memory function appears only if the projected force is fully decoupled from the past CG positions and momenta, respectively. In the case of non-vanishing correlations between the projected force and the CG coordinates in past times, we derive explicitly the position- and momentum-dependent memory function in a form of projection onto a space spanned by N-order Hermite polynomials. The expressions presented herein can be used to construct a hierarchy of thermodynamically consistent CG models with momentum-dependent memory functions. They can also be used to design computational schemes for obtaining the parameters for GLEs and their variants such as dissipative particle dynamics equations from the microscopic data. We illustrate these applications by presenting the GLE with a memory function that is quadratic in the particle momenta.

The failure of international law, particularly the Law of Armed Conflict, to evolve with the hybridization of war is discussed. It notes that the law has proven incapable of satisfactorily resolving the myriad of legal issues arising from modern warfare.

A repeated structure of InAs (1− x ) Sb ( x ) /InAs (1− y ) Sb ( y ) was induced by periodic cycling of a non-incorporating Bi-flux, while keeping the In-, As- and Sb-fluxes constant. The Bi acts as a virtual chemical valve. High-resolution X-ray diffraction demonstrated a modulation ratio of x / y =1:1.3. Composition broadening could not be detected within the experimental resolution. The Bi, despite not incorporating, also does not remain on the growing surface after the incoming Bi-flux is terminated.

Third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance: translating state-of-thescience soldier research for operational utility. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S1-S3, 2015-The Third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance (ICSPP) was held on August 18-21, 2014 in Boston, MA, where it had a record attendance of374 registrants from 27 countries. The Congress included 8 invited keynote lectures, 12 symposia, 1 featured science session, more than 200 oral and poster free communication sessions, 8 thematic poster sessions, and a Warfighter Readiness Roundtable. Collectively, the presentations focused on a fundamental premise that soldiers are the center of warfighting capability, and the human service member is the prime resource and key enabler of all warfighting systems. The intent of the ICSPP series is to focus on the soldier—the individual service member. As we move forward with focus placed on the human dimension of soldiering, the key to our scientific success and what will prove to be transformative will be the extent to which we can operationalize and disseminate our scientific knowledge for the benefit of our soldiers on the ground. The Congress fostered important scientific exchange, and dialog centered on improving military physical performance and readiness. As countries around the globe respond to current and emerging threats to their national security, it is increasingly clear that we must ensure optimal human performance of our military personnel. By taking advantage of the science and applications of physical fitness and injury prevention research, we can leverage our increased understanding for the optimal application of physical readiness processes while minimizing the injury risk potential. We believe that the continued scientific and evidence-based dialog across international partners will prove to be transformative in identifying the most effective strategies for human performance optimization in the 21st century. Innovation, leveraging current state-of-the-science, and international partnerships were all key themes throughout the Congress. From the ICSPP scientific program, it was clear that there is abundant scientific knowledge on how to improve soldiers' sleep, activity, and nutrition and that a major challenge is for scientists and military leaders/policy makers to work together to operationalize what is known for soldier utility on the ground.

The channel was created with a micro-mill CNC machine that allows for quick device manufacturing. The channel is characterized using scanning electron microscopy and profilometry. Finally, we use recently published models of flow in a microchannel with bends to elucidate pressure conditions throughout the channel. Future work will encompass characterization of plasma conditions.

For the apparent special case of CWA on concrete, H2O2 alone, without any additives, effectively decontaminates S-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX), pinacolyl methylphosphorofluoridate (GD), and bis(2-choroethyl) sulfide (HD) in a process thought to involve H2O2 activation by surface-bound carbonates/bicarbonates (known H2O2 activators for CWA decontamination). A plethora of products are formed during the H2O2 decontamination of HD on concrete, and these are characterized by comparison to synthesized authentic compounds. As a potential residue-free decontaminant for surfaces other than concrete (or those lacking adsorbed carbonate/bicarbonate) H2O2 activation for CWA decontamination is feasible using residue-free NH3 and CO2 as demonstrated by reaction studies for VX, GD, and HD in homogeneous solution. Although H2O2/NH3/CO2 ("HPAC") decontaminants are active for CWA decontamination in solution, they require testing on actual surfaces of interest to assess their true efficacy for surface decontamination.

This paper investigates the wear mechanisms for a microfabricated ball bearing platform that includes silicon and thin-film coated silicon raceway/steel ball materials systems. Adhesion of ball material, found to be the primary wear mechanism, is universally present in all tested materials systems. Volumetric adhesive wear rates are observed between 4×10 −4 and 4×10 −5 µm 3 /mN·rev. Pressured-induced phase changes take place in the contact areas of the bare silicon raceways, observed with Raman spectroscopy. An understanding of the wear mechanisms within microfabricated ball bearings will help optimize operational parameters and materials systems for long-term reliability.

JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2015/03/15/ VL - 278 M3 - Article SP - 141 EP - 148 SN - 03787753 AB - We report a series of mesoporous silicate sorbent materials templated by long-chain primary alkylamines that display record level of desulfurization of the jet fuel JP-8. Pure silica frameworks and those with a Si:Zr synthesis molar ratio ranging from 44:1 to 11:1 were investigated. The optimum sorbent was identified as dodecylamine-templated silica-zirconia synthesized from a gel with Si:Zr molar ratio of 15:1. With an optimized silver loading of 11 wt.%, a saturation adsorption capacity of 39.4 mgS g −1 and a silver efficiency of 1.21 molS mol Ag −1 were observed for JP-8. This sorbent displayed exceptional regenerability, maintaining 86% of its initial capacity in model fuel after solvent regeneration with diethyl ether. Low-cost, portable and reusable sorbents for the desulfurization of JP-8 jet fuel are needed to make solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) a reality for military power needs. SOFCs require ultra-low sulfur content fuel, which traditional desulfurization methods cannot achieve.

The atomic configurations, thermal stability and stress–strain relations have been calculated. Among the heterostructures studied, only the TiN(111)/SiN/TiN(111) and TiN(111)/Si 2 N 3 /TiN(111) ones are thermally stable. Upon tensile load, decohesion occurs between the Ti N bonds adjacent to the SiN x interfacial layer for TiN(001)/SiN/TiN(001) and TiN(111)/Si 2 N 3 /TiN(111) heterostructures, and inside the TiN slab for TiN(001)/Si 3 N 4 /TiN(001) and TiN(110)/SiN/TiN(110) ones. Upon shear, failure occurs in TiN near the interfaces in all the heterostructures, except for the TiN(001)/Si 3 N 4 /TiN(001) one, for which the plastic flow occurs inside the TiN slab. Based on these results we estimate the maximum achievable hardness of nc-TiN/Si 3 N 4 nanocomposites free of impurities to be about 170 GPa.

PM 2.5 , PM 10 , metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), energetics, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were characterized from 121 trials of three different munitions (Composition B (hereafter, “Comp B”), V453, V548), 152 trials of five different propellants (M31A1E1, M26, SPCF, Arc 451, 452A), and 12 trials with static firing of ammonium perchlorate-containing Sparrow rocket motors. Sampling was conducted with operational charge sizes and under open area conditions to determine emission levels representative of actual disposal practices. The successful application of the tethered aerostat and sampling instruments demonstrated the ability to sample for and determine the first ever emission factors for static firing of rocket motors and buried and metal-cased OD, as well as the first measurements of PM 2.5 for OB and for surface OD.

JO - Chemical Engineering Science JF - Chemical Engineering Science Y1 - 2015/03/03/ VL - 124 M3 - Article SP - 118 EP - 124 SN - 00092509 AB - UiO-66 is a Zr-based MOF that is being highly investigated for a wide variety of small molecule gas separations since it possess unprecedented thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability. In this work, we have investigated the performance of various functionalized variations of UiO-66 (UiO-66-OH, UiO-66-(OH) 2 , UiO-66-NO 2 , UiO-66-NH 2 , UiO-66-SO 3 H, and UiO-66-(COOH) 2 ) towards ammonia removal from air. Functionalized UiO-66 analogs have been synthesized solvothermally and characterized using ammonia breakthrough measurements under dry and humid (80% RH) air conditions along with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns and results from BET modeling of N 2 adsorption isotherms. Counter to chemical intuition, our study demonstrates that the ammonia capacities of UiO-66-SO 3 H and UiO-66-(COOH) 2 are lower than UiO-66-OH and UiO-66-NH 2 . This is due to significant reduction in the framework porosity (surface area and pore volume) upon functionalization with bulky functional groups such as –COOH and –SO 3 H. The –OH group is the least bulky functional group considered in the work and interacts favorably with ammonia. UiO-66-OH has a capacity of ~5.7 mmol/g for ammonia under dry conditions which is very close to the ammonia removal goal of 0.1 g/g MOF (or ~6 mmol/g). However, we observed a decrease in the ammonia capacities of functionalized UiO-66 variations under humid conditions due to competition between water and ammonia molecules for adsorption on the active sites. Overall, balancing the water adsorption behavior and high selectivity and high capacity for ammonia is crucial to developing new adsorbents for ammonia removal from air.

In some cases, operational time limitations do not allow for the construction of paved surfaces to establish airfield operations. The original flexible pavement design procedure for paved surfaces, which is based on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and the -factor (Alpha-factor), was extended and applied to the design and evaluation of aggregate-surfaced pavements. With the reformulation of the CBR-Alpha for the design of flexible pavements, efforts were also directed at defining a new equation for the design of aggregate-surfaced airfields. This paper focuses on the development of a new CBR-Beta procedure for the design and evaluation of aggregate-surfaced airfields. Data from previous studies conducted on aggregate-surfaced full-scale test sections were used for this purpose. The new performance curve proposed in this paper for aggregate-surfaced airfields has the same format as the equation that was proposed and accepted for flexible pavements.

JO - Molecular Brain JF - Molecular Brain Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 21 SN - 17566606 AB - Background: Social-stress mouse model, based on the resident-intruder paradigm was used to simulate features of human post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The model involved exposure of an intruder (subject) mouse to a resident aggressor mouse followed by exposure to trauma reminders with rest periods. C57BL/6 mice exposed to SJL aggressor mice exhibited behaviors suggested as PTSD-in-mouse phenotypes: intermittent freezing, reduced locomotion, avoidance of the aggressor-associated cue and apparent startled jumping. Brain tissues (amygdala, hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, septal region, corpus striatum and ventral striatum) from subject (aggressor exposed: Agg-E) and control C57BL/6 mice were collected at one, 10 and 42 days post aggressor exposure sessions. Transcripts in these brain regions were assayed using Agilent's mouse genome-wide arrays. Results: Pathways and biological processes associated with differentially regulated genes were mainly those thought to be involved in fear-related behavioral responses and neuronal signaling. Expression-based assessments of activation patterns showed increased activations of pathways related to anxiety disorders (hyperactivity and fear responses), impaired cognition, mood disorders, circadian rhythm disruption, and impaired territorial and aggressive behaviors. In amygdala, activations of these pathways were more pronounced at earlier time-points, with some attenuation after longer rest periods. In hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex, activation patterns were observed at later time points. Signaling pathways associated with PTSD-comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, metabolic disorder, inflammation and cardiac infarction, were also significantly enriched. In contrast, signaling processes related to neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity were inhibited. Conclusions: Our data suggests activations of behavioral responses associated with anxiety disorders as well as inhibition of neuronal signaling pathways important for neurogenesis, cognition and extinction of fear memory. These pathways along with comorbid-related signaling pathways indicate the pervasive and multisystem effects of aggressor exposure in mice, potentially mirroring the pathologic conditions of PTSD patients.

JO - Clinical Neurophysiology JF - Clinical Neurophysiology Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 126 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 549 EP - 557 SN - 13882457 AB - Objective The deleterious neurocognitive effects of laboratory-controlled short-term sleep deprivation are well-known. The present study investigated neurocognitive changes arising from chronic sleep restriction outside the laboratory. Methods Sleep patterns of 24 undergraduates were tracked via actigraphy across a 15-week semester. At the semester beginning, at a midpoint, and a week before finals, students performed the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) and cortical arousal was measured via event-related potentials (ERP) and resting state electroencephalography (EEG). Results Average daily sleep decreased between Session 1 and Sessions 2 and 3. Calculated circadian rhythm measures indicated nighttime movement increased and sleep quality decreased from Sessions 1 and 2 to Session 3. Parallel to the sleep/activity measures, PVT reaction time increased between Session 1 and Sessions 2 and 3 and resting state alpha EEG reactivity magnitude and PVT-evoked P3 ERP amplitude decreased between Session 1 and Sessions 2 and 3. Cross-sectional regressions showed PVT reaction time was negatively associated with average daily sleep, alpha reactivity, and P3 changes; sleep/circadian measures were associated with alpha reactivity and/or P3 changes. Conclusions Small, but persistent sleep deficits reduced cortical arousal and impaired vigilant attention. Significance Chronic sleep restriction impacts neurocognition in a manner similar to laboratory controlled sleep deprivation.

In addition, the expression accounts for temperature increase across the die-attach. The model’s validity is verified by comparing it with experimental observations. The model results also compare favorably with those from finite-element numerical simulations across the various device geometric and material parameters. The model provides a more accurate channel temperature than that from a constant thermal conductivity assumption; this is particularly significant for GaN/Si HEMTs where the temperature rise is higher than in GaN/SiC. The model is especially useful for device and monolithic microwave integrated circuit designers in the thermal assessment of their device design iterations against required performance for their specific applications.

Comparisons of hand have arisen in casework where images have been submitted where a face was not present but a hand was visible. This research utilizes a collection of 128 hands from employees of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory to examine the frequency and distribution of skin detail on the dorsal surface of the hand. To assess the location of features, the hand was segmented into 14 regions using readily discernible anatomical landmarks. Overall, 2618 pigmented lesions and 92 scars or injuries were documented. When comparing the regions with one another, Regions 1-10 had fewer pigmented lesions than Regions 11-14. There was no pattern to the distribution of scars throughout the regions. The findings presented a foundation for one possible method that may differentiate hands based on the frequency and distribution of such features.

In these applications, data privacy itself might not be as important as the privacy of source location. In addition to the source location privacy, sink location privacy should also be provided. Providing an efficient end-to-end privacy solution would be a challenging task to achieve due to the open nature of the WSN. The key schemes needed for end-to-end location privacy are anonymity, observability, capture likelihood, and safety period. We extend this work to allow for countermeasures against multi-local and global adversaries. We present a network model protected against a sophisticated threat model: passive /active and local/multi-local/global attacks. This work provides a solution for end-to-end anonymity and location privacy as well. We will introduce a framework called fortified anonymous communication (FAC) protocol for WSN.

JO - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology & Ecology JF - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology & Ecology Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 464 M3 - Article SP - 68 EP - 74 SN - 00220981 AB - At least two seagrass congeners in the genus Zostera are found along the Pacific Coast of North America: native Zostera marina L. and the non-native Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn. Efforts to understand the drivers behind the expanding colonization of Z. japonica have led to interest in the biology and ecology of this species. In most locations where they co-occur, these species exhibit a disjunct vertical zonation. We experimentally consider the influence of pulsed temperature effects on Z. japonica growth as a driver of vertical zonation. In mesocosm tanks seagrass planting units were cycled from ambient to treatment temperatures (8, 20, 32 °C) of variable duration (2, 6, 12, 24 h) each day for 10 d and then growth was assessed. Leaf elongation and growth rates exhibited strong, statistically significant relationships with increasing duration of exposure to 20 °C. Plants exposed to continuous 20 °C temperatures grew 2.5 times faster than plants exposed to 20 °C for 2 h. Likewise, plants exposed to continuous 8 °C temperatures grew 2.5 times slower than plants at 8 °C for 2 h. Plants exposed to 32 °C maintained fairly constant growth and elongation rates regardless of the duration of exposure. Field data indicate that Z. japonica and Z. marina experience different thermal regimes in the same estuary. We suggest that intertidal zonation patterns of Z. japonica in North America are predominantly driven by seagrass temperature responses; increased duration of exposure to cold water temperatures appears to limit expansion of the Z. japonica bed lower boundary to the mid-intertidal. Additionally, we recognize characteristics that may be useful to identifying systems susceptible to colonization.

JO - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer JF - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 153 M3 - Article SP - 4 EP - 12 SN - 00224073 AB - Photophoretic trapping-Raman spectroscopy (PTRS) is a new technique for measuring Raman spectra of particles that are held in air using photophoretic forces. It was initially demonstrated with Raman spectra of strongly-absorbing carbon nanoparticles (Pan et al. [44] (Opt Express 2012)). In the present paper we report the first demonstration of the use of PTRS to measure Raman spectra of absorbing and weakly-absorbing bioaerosol particles (pollens and spores). Raman spectra of three pollens and one smut spore in a size range of 6.2–41.8 µm illuminated at 488 nm are shown. Quality spectra were obtained in the Raman shift range of 1600–3400 cm −1 in this exploratory study. Distinguishable Raman scattering signals with one or a few clear Raman peaks for all four aerosol particles were observed within the wavenumber region 2940–3030 cm −1 . Peaks in this region are consistent with previous reports of Raman peaks in the 1600–3400 cm −1 range for pollens and spores excited at 514 nm measured by a conventional Raman spectrometer. Noise in the spectra, the fluorescence background, and the weak Raman signals in most of the 1600–3400 cm −1 region make some of the spectral features barely discernable or not discernable for these bioaerosols except the strong signal within 2940–3030 cm −1 . Up to five bands are identified in the three pollens and only two bands appear in the fungal spore, but this may be because the fungal spore is so much smaller than any of the pollens. The fungal spore signal relative to the air-nitrogen Raman band is approximately 10 times smaller than that ratio for the pollens. The five bands are tentatively assigned to the CH 2 symmetric stretch at 2948 cm −1 , CH 2 Fermi resonance stretch at 2970 cm −1 , CH 3 symmetric stretch at 2990 cm −1 , CH 3 out-of-plane end asymmetric stretch at 3010 cm −1 , and unsaturated =CH stretch at 3028 cm −1 . The two dominant bands of the up-to-five Raman bands in the 2940–3030 cm −1 region have a consistent band spacing of 25 cm −1 in all four aerosols. Finally we discuss improvements to the PTRS that should provide a system which can trap a higher fraction of particle types and obtain Raman spectra over a larger range (e.g., 200–3600 cm −1 ) than those achieved here.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 53 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1320 EP - 1345 SN - 01962892 AB - Because of their large swath widths of about 400-500 km, the ScanSAR modes of RADARSAT-1 and -2 and of the Advanced SAR (ASAR) system on Envisat have been the preferred modes of operation for hurricane and typhoon observations and similar applications. While C-band ScanSAR images have been demonstrated to be well suitable for wind retrievals, ocean wave retrievals are a more challenging problem: Because of the limited spatial resolution of 100 m (RADARSAT)/150 m (Envisat), only long waves can get imaged directly, and many images of tropical storm scenarios do not exhibit clear signatures of any waves in large areas. The interpretation of wave patterns that exist in an image is difficult because of the imaging mechanism's nonlinearities. We think we have found a promising new technique for wave parameter retrievals from C-band ScanSAR images, which determines peak wavelengths and directions from image spectra where possible but uses an empirically determined relation to estimate significant wave heights (SWHs) from local mean image intensities, which is similar to the method used for wind retrievals. This way, it is possible to obtain SWH estimates for the entire image and to account for the contributions of subresolution-scale waves. We explain how the algorithm works and how the empirical SWH model function has been determined from a set of hurricane images from RADARSAT-1 and reference wave spectra from a numerical wave model. The first independent test with a set of RADARSAT-2 and Envisat images from the 2010 Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) experiment reveals a few weaknesses but essentially confirms the feasibility of the concept.

The proposed method is designed to address the special problematic characteristics of hyperspectral images, namely, high dimensionality of hyperspectral pixels, lack of labeled samples, and spatial variability of spectral signatures. To alleviate these problems, the proposed method features the following components. First, being a semisupervised approach, it exploits the wealth of unlabeled samples in the image by evaluating the confidence probability of the predicted labels, for each unlabeled sample. Second, we propose to jointly optimize the classifier parameters and the dictionary atoms by a task-driven formulation, to ensure that the learned features (sparse codes) are optimal for the trained classifier. Finally, it incorporates spatial information through adding a Laplacian smoothness regularization to the output of the classifier, rather than the sparse codes, making the spatial constraint more flexible. The proposed method is compared with a few comparable methods for classification of several popular data sets, and it produces significantly better classification results.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 78 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 301 EP - 315 SN - 15287394 AB - Fish gill is the site for many crucial physiological functions. It is among the first sites of xenobiotic exposure, and gill histopathological alterations may be detected soon after toxicant exposure. Silver (Ag) is one of the most toxic metals to aquatic organisms mainly due to its ability to disrupt ionic regulation. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of ionic and nanoscale Ag on fathead minnow gills by examining gill histology and Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity. Fathead minnows were exposed to two measured concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3: 1.3 or 3.7 μg/L as Ag+), citrate silver nanoparticles (citrate-AgNP: 15 or 39 μg/L), and polyvinylpyrrolidone-AgNP (PVP-AgNP) (AgNP: 11 or 50 μg/L). Circulatory disturbances were the most prevalent gill alterations detected and were significantly increased in all Ag treatment groups compared to control. AgNO3(1.3 μg/L) was the only treatment that significantly elevated the number of total mucous goblet cells present. In all other Ag treatments, the percent of degenerated goblet cells was significantly increased compared to control. When the sum of all histopathological abnormalities (weighted index) was calculated, all Ag groups displayed a significantly higher index, with citrate-AgNP having the highest toxicity (index of 10 ± 0.32 versus 2.4 ± 0.6 in controls). Gill Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity was decreased by Ag. These results indicated that both AgNO3and AgNP created similar disruptions in gill structure and ionic regulation, possibly due to the ionic Ag portion of each treatment.

JO - Journal of Emergency Medicine (0736-4679) JF - Journal of Emergency Medicine (0736-4679) Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 48 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 313 EP - 324 SN - 07364679 AB - Background When providing care under combat or hostile conditions, it may be necessary for a casualty to remain engaged in military tasks after being wounded. Prehospital care under other remote, austere conditions may be similar, whereby an individual may be forced to continue purposeful actions despite traumatic injury. Given the adverse side-effect profile of intramuscular (i.m.) morphine, alternative analgesics and routes of administration are of interest. Ketamine may be of value in this capacity. Objectives To delineate performance decrements in basic soldier tasks comparing the effects of the standard battlefield analgesic (10 mg i.m. morphine) with 25 mg i.m. ketamine. Methods Representative military skills and risk propensity were tested in 48 healthy volunteers without pain stimuli in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design. Results Overall, participants reported more symptoms associated with ketamine vs. morphine and placebo, chiefly dizziness, poor concentration, and feelings of happiness. Performance decrements on ketamine, when present, manifested as slower performance times rather than procedural errors. Conclusions Participants were more symptomatic with ketamine, yet the soldier skills were largely resistant to performance decrements, suggesting that a trained task skill (autonomous phase) remains somewhat resilient to the drugged state at this dosage. The performance decrements with ketamine may represent the subjects’ adoption of a cautious posture, as suggested by risk propensity testing whereby the subject is aware of impairment, trading speed for preservation of task accuracy. These results will help to inform the casualty care community regarding appropriate use of ketamine as an alternative or opioid-sparing battlefield analgesic.

The focus of this study is maneuvering projectiles launched from man-portable weapon systems. A novel guided projectile concept is proposed for achieving control authority requirements in the challenging environment of low-dynamic pressure, small size, high launch loads, spin stabilization, and low cost. This new maneuver concept is based on a rotating wing actuator. Experimental and advanced computational aerodynamics techniques were applied. Aerodynamic models and projectile flight mechanics were derived to enable flight simulation. Assessment of ballistic delivery accuracy, based on physics-based models of the delivery process, was undertaken to quantify control authority requirements. Maneuvering flight simulations demonstrated that this concept affords enough course correction to compensate for ballistic delivery errors.

The principle of the device is based on the accumulation of multiple dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces to deflect cells laterally in conjunction with the alternating on/off electric field to manipulate the cell trajectories. The microfluidic device containing a large array of oblique interdigitated electrodes was fabricated using a combination of standard and soft lithography techniques to generate a PDMS–gold electrode construct. Experimental testing with human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) and their differentiation progenies (osteoblasts) was carried out at different flow rates, and clear separation of the two populations was achieved. Most of the osteoblasts experiencing stronger DEP forces were deflected laterally and continuously, following zig-zag trajectories, and moved towards the desired collection outlet, whereas most of the hMSCs remained on the original trajectory due to weaker DEP forces. The experimental measurements were characterized and evaluated quantitatively, and consistent performance was demonstrated. Collection efficiency up to 92% and 67% for hMSCs and osteoblasts, respectively, along with purity up to 84% and 87% was obtained. The experimental results established the feasibility of our microfluidic DEP sorting device for continuous, label-free sorting of stem cells and their differentiation progenies.

CP at the grain level is employed as the constitutive description to predict the inhomogeneous distribution of strain and stress fields after plastic deformation of a polycrystalline aggregate while the kinetics of recrystallization is obtained employing a PFM in the plastically deformed grain structure. The elasto-viscoplastic equilibrium is guaranteed during each step of temporal phase-field evolution. Static recrystallization involving plasticity during grain growth is employed as an example to demonstrate the proposed computational framework. The simulated recrystallization kinetics is compared using the classical Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) theory. This study also gives us a new computational pathway to explore the plasticity-driven evolution of 3D microstructures.

JO - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology JF - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 68 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 585 EP - 607 SN - 17470218 AB - Previous research on route directions largely considers the case when a knowledgeable route-giver conveys accurate information. In the real world, however, route information is sometimes inaccurate, and directions can lead navigators astray. We explored how participants respond to route directions containing ambiguities between landmarks and turn directions, forcing reliance on one or the other. In three experiments, participants read route directions (e.g.,To get to the metro station, take a right at the pharmacy) and then selected from destinations on a map. Critically, in half of the trials the landmark (pharmacy) and turn (right) directions were conflicting, such that the participant had to make a decision under conditions of uncertainty; under these conditions, we measured whether participants preferentially relied upon landmark- versus direction-based strategies. Across the three experiments, participants were either provided no information regarding the source of directions (Experiment 1), or told that the source of directions was a GPS device (Experiment 2), or a human (Experiment 3). Without information regarding the source of directions, participants generally relied on landmarks or turn information under conditions of ambiguity; in contrast, with a GPS source participants relied primarily on turn information, and with a human source on landmark information. Results were robust across gender and individual differences in spatial preference. We discuss these results within the context of spatial decision-making theory and consider implications for the design and development of landmark-inclusive navigation systems.

TiO 2 is manufactured by the traditional sulfate process or high temperature chloride process. Several hydrometallurgical processes for manufacturing TiO 2 have recently emerged to reduce the environmental impact of TiO 2 production. A new process is reported that features alkaline roasting of titania slag (ARTS), with subsequent washing, leaching, solvent extraction, hydrolysis, and calcination stages, and implements the recycling and regeneration of alkaline and acid process streams to minimize waste generation. A virtual ARTS processing plant is described in detail and is used to conduct an LCA comparison with the sulfate, chloride, and Altairnano processes. The cumulative energy demand (CED) and total CO 2 emissions for the ARTS process are 92.6 MJ/kg TiO 2 and 7.47 kg CO 2 /kg TiO 2 , respectively, which compares favorably with the traditional and Altairnano processes.

Graphene/Silver nanoparticles/polypyrrole (GNS/AgNPs/PPY) composite has been synthesized by in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of GNS and AgNPs. The different mass concentrations of AgNPs were utilized to improve the capacitive performance of supercapacitor. Characterization of the electrode material has been carried out by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Thermal methods, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy. SEM images showed that PPY nanoparticles uniformly coated on graphene sheets along with AgNPs. Electrochemical characterization of the electrode surface has been carried out by means of cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Remarkably, GNS/AgNPs/PPY exhibits specific capacitance of 450 F g −1 at current density of 0.9 mA g −1 , which is far better than GNS/PPY (288 F g −1 ), AgNPs/PPY (216 F g −1 ) and PPY (153 F g −1 ). Furthermore, GNS/AgNPs/PPY shows high charge–discharge reversibility and retaining over 92.0% of its initial value after 1000 cycles. The cyclic stability of the composite is improved due to the synergistic effect of GNS, AgNPs and PPY.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2015/02/10/ VL - 58 M3 - Article SP - 199 EP - 208 SN - 00323861 AB - Thermal and volumetric properties of mixed epoxy networks were characterized with molecular dynamics simulation. Atomistically detailed models of epoxy networks of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol (DGEBA) cured with stoichiometric binary mixtures of a flexible cross-linker poly(oxypropylene) diamine (POP) and a stiff cross-linker 4,4′-methylenebis(cyclohexylamine) (MCA), having molecular weights of 1987 and 210 g/mol respectively, were prepared. Epoxy networks formed by five different compositions of the cross-linkers ranging from pure POP to pure MCA were constructed, and a network topology analysis was carried out to verify that each network chain was connected to all other chains by a path of bonded molecules. The glass transition temperature ( T g ), coefficient of volume thermal expansion (CVTE), heat capacity and thermal conductivity of these network structures were determined as a function of the network composition. The simulated values of these properties are compared with predictions from theories, empirical correlations and experiments from the literature. In general, it is observed that an increase in the mass fraction of MCA leads to an increase in the T g and a decrease in the CVTE; furthermore, the breadth of the transition as exhibited by the change in the specific volume, CVTE, and heat capacity increases with an increase in the MCA content. The differences in the flexibility of the network components were analyzed using a number of quantitative measures. Using these results, a molecular mechanism is proposed for the observation of the network composition dependence of the breadth of the glass transition in these systems.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2015/02/10/ VL - 58 M3 - Article SP - 96 EP - 106 SN - 00323861 AB - The ballistic performance was examined for a series of broad glass transition temperature epoxy formulations consisting of a di-epoxy monomer crosslinked with bi-modal mixtures of both a rigid, low molecular weight diamine and a flexible, high molecular weight diamine. Interestingly, the resins did not macro-phase separate during cure, but exhibited structural and dynamic heterogeneity on a length scale of a few nanometers, as confirmed by X-ray scattering, dynamic mechanical analysis, modulus-mapped atomic force microscopy, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy. The nano-structured resins were optically transparent and demonstrated a nearly 300% increase in ballistic energy dissipation relative to the neat resins, as well as when compared to epoxy formulations composed of similar bi-modal blends that exhibited a macro-phase separated structure. The ballistic performance is found to be insensitive to sub-glass transition temperature (T g ) relaxations, but appears to be dependent on both the nano-structure and the Vogel temperature of the high T g component. The study demonstrates a new class of transparent protective materials composed of rigid and flexible components with a fine scale heterogeneous structure.

T1 - Integration of a benthic sediment diagenesis module into the two dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model – CE-QUAL-W2. JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2015/02/10/ VL - 297 M3 - Case Study SP - 213 EP - 231 SN - 03043800 AB - Current CE-QUAL-W2 mainly simulates hydrodynamics and eutrophication processes in the water column. The benthic sediment processes and sediment–water interactions have been neglected or very much simplified using zero-order and first-order rates. In this study a benthic sediment diagenesis module was developed and integrated into CE-QUAL-W2. Enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 was capable of simulating the dynamic releases of ammonium, nitrate, phosphorus, dissolved silica and dissolved methane from the sediment to the overlying water, as well as benthic sediment oxygen demand. The oxidation of sulfides is included for salt water sediments. The ability of CE-QUAL-W2 model to correctly predict sediment–water nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demand was evaluated against SedFlux and CE-QUAL-ICM models through a series of case studies. These case studies were chosen for representing various sedimentation and environmental conditions. The simulated sediment–water nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demand over time were generally in good agreement with these two model results for all data sets. The effect of benthic sediment diffusive thickness, particle mixing coefficients on nutrient releases from sediments and sediment oxygen demand were examined. Enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 model was also applied to the Lower Minnesota River for further evaluating its performance. This paper presents the sediment diagenesis module development, validation tests and application of the enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 model.

Rotation speeds of a motor 3 mm in diameter have been characterized up to 2000 r/min as a function of voltage, phase, and frequency, with power consumption less than 4 mW. Frequency characterization shows no nonlinear behavior, while phase characterization shows that motion can be generated with a single source drive. Furthermore, imprint in the piezoelectric response was exploited to achieve higher speeds, starting voltages lower than 4 V, and demonstration of a 2-mm diameter motor up to 1730 r/min. Design and fabrication of the motors are also presented.

This additive was identified to be an efficient electrolyte additive to suppress the polysulfide shuttling effect existing in the conventional Li–S chemistry. To detect the positive impact of the new additive, oligo(ethylene glycol) functionalized silane was employed as the electrolyte solvent due to its high solvation capability with the lithium polysulfides. The electrochemical results and the SEM data of Li–S battery using the new electrolyte confirmed the role of the LiDFOB as a critical component to eliminate the shuttling of the dissolved polysulfides thus enabling a high coulombic efficiency.

A direct application of an on-road tire model to simulate tire behavior on a deformable terrain such as soft soil is not possible. The methods for modeling and evaluation of performance of the wheeled vehicles on deformable terrains are influenced by different terrain properties in addition to design and operational parameters. These methods are ranged from very simple empirical methods to highly complex finite element methods. This survey covers the most used models that have been developed for wheeled vehicles in off-road applications. The emphasize is on the models that have made a significant contribution in advancement of techniques for characterizing soil, tire, soil–tire interaction, experimental analysis, model parameterization and model validation. A description is given for selected studies to familiarize the reader with the general terminologies, formulations and modeling approaches. More importantly, two summary tables are given for three groups of models in which the overall features of each model are reviewed and compared to other models. These tables can be used to understand the general picture of the available techniques, and facilitate selecting the appropriate model for future applications.

Design: Baseline localization testing was conducted in three listening conditions (open-ear, in-the-ear (ITE) EMHP, and over-the-ear (OTE) EMHP). Participants then wore either an ITE or OTE EMHP for 12, almost daily, one-hour training sessions. After training was complete, participants again underwent localization testing in all three listening conditions. A computer with a custom software and hardware interface presented localization sounds and collected participant responses. Study sample: Twelve participants were recruited from the student population at Virginia Tech. Audiometric requirements were 35 dBHL at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz bilaterally, and 55 dBHL at 4000 Hz in at least one ear. Results: Pre-training localization performance with an ITE or OTE EMHP was worse than open-ear performance. After training with any given listening condition, including open-ear, performance in that listening condition improved, in part from a practice effect. However, post-training localization performance showed near equal performance between the open-ear and training EMHP. Auditory learning occurred for the training EMHP, but not for the non-training EMHP; that is, there was no significant training crossover effect between the ITE and the OTE devices. Conclusion: It is evident from this study that auditory learning (improved horizontal localization performance) occurred with the EMHP for which training was performed. However, performance improvements found with the training EMHP were not realized in the non-training EMHP. Furthermore, localization performance in the open-ear condition also benefitted from training on the task.

JO - Aerospace Science & Technology JF - Aerospace Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 41 M3 - Article SP - 175 EP - 188 SN - 12709638 AB - This paper examines the problem of enhancing maneuverability of gun-launched munitions utilizing low cost technologies. Two ideas are proposed for reducing cost: (1) designing algorithms that reduce the sensor or actuator burden, and (2) performing high fidelity modeling and simulation of the entire system with realistic data input. The fundamental theory underpinning guided projectile flight systems, including nonlinear equations of motion for projectile flight, aerodynamic modeling, actuator dynamics, and measurement modeling, is outlined. Manipulation of these nonlinear models into linear system models enables airframe stability investigation and flight control design. A basic framework for low cost guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) of high maneuverability projectiles is formulated. Theory was implemented in simulation and exercised for a guided projectile system. Results support the hypothesis that algorithms can compensate for poor actuator performance and identified critical trade study parameters. Monte Carlo analysis indicated that the cost associated with measurements of a threshold accuracy rather than actuation technologies prescribes guided system performance.

JO - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience JF - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 32 SN - 16625161 AB - Measuring neuronal activity with electrophysiological methods may be useful in detecting neurological dysfunctions, such as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).This approach may be particularly valuable for rapid detection in at-risk populations including military service members and athletes. Electrophysiological methods, such as quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and recording event-related potentials (ERPs) may be promising; however, the field is nascent and significant controversy exists on the efficacy and accuracy of the approaches as diagnostic tools. For example, the specific measures derived from an electroencephalogram (EEG) that are most suitable as markers of dysfunction have not been clearly established. A study was conducted to summarize and evaluate the statistical rigor of evidence on the overall utility of qEEG as an mTBI detection tool. The analysis evaluated qEEG measures/parameters that may be most suitable as fieldable diagnostic tools, identified other types of EEG measures and analysis methods of promise, recommended specific measures and analysis methods for further development as mTBI detection tools, identified research gaps in the field, and recommended future research and development thrust areas. The qEEG study group formed the following conclusions: (1) Individual qEEG measures provide limited diagnostic utility for mTBI. However, many measures can be important features of qEEG discriminant functions, which do show significant promise as mTBI detection tools. (2) ERPs offer utility in mTBI detection. In fact, evidence indicates that ERPs can identify abnormalities in cases where EEGs alone are non-disclosing. (3)The standard mathematical procedures used in the characterization of mTBI EEGs should be expanded to incorporate newer methods of analysis including non-linear dynamical analysis, complexity measures, analysis of causal interactions, graph theory, and information dynamics. (4) Reports of high specificity in qEEG evaluations of TBI must be interpreted with care. High specificities have been reported in carefully constructed clinical studies in which healthy controls were compared against a carefully selected TBI population. The published literature indicates, however, that similar abnormalities in qEEG measures are observed in other neuropsychiatric disorders. While it may be possible to distinguish a clinical patient from a healthy control participant with this technology, these measures are unlikely to discriminate between, for example, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or TBI. The specificities observed in these clinical studies may well be lost in real world clinical practice. (5)The absence of specificity does not preclude clinical utility.The possibility of use as a longitudinal measure of treatment response remains. However, efficacy as a longitudinal clinical measure does require acceptable test-retest reliability. To date, very few test-retest reliability studies have been published with qEEG data obtained from TBI patients or from healthy controls. This is a particular concern because high variability is a known characteristic of the injured central nervous system.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 54 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 SN - 00913286 AB - Uniform near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) illuminators are desired in low ambient light detection, recognition, and identification of military applications. Factors that contribute to laser illumination image degradation are high frequency, coherent laser speckle and low frequency nonuniformities created by the laser or external laser cavity optics. Laser speckle analysis and beam uniformity improvements have been independently studied by numerous authors, but analysis to separate these two effects from a single measurement technique has not been published. In this study, profiles of compact, diode laser NIR and SWIR illuminators were measured and evaluated. Digital 12-bit images were recorded with a flat-field calibrated InGaAs camera with measurements at F/1.4 and F/16. Separating beam uniformity components from laser speckle was approximated by filtering the original image. The goal of this paper is to identify and quantify the beam quality variation of illumination prototypes, draw awareness to its impact on range performance modeling, and develop measurement techniques and methodologies for military, industry, and vendors of active sources.

JO - Remote Sensing JF - Remote Sensing Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1397 EP - 1421 SN - 20724292 AB - The validation process for a moderate resolution leaf area index (LAI) product (i.e., MODIS) involves the creation of a high spatial resolution LAI reference map (Lai-RM), which when scaled to the moderate LAI resolution (i.e., > 1 km) allows for comparison and analysis with this LAI product. This research addresses two major sources of uncertainty in the creation of the LAI-RM: (1) the uncertainty associated with the indirect in situ optical measurements of southeastern United States needle-leaf LAI and (2) the uncertainty in the process of classifying land cover (LC). Uncertainty within the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) in situ data collection was highest for the assessment of the plant area index (PAI), Le (27.2%), and the woody-to-total ratio, α, (30.6%). The needle-to-shoot ratio, λE, and the element clumping index, ΩE, contributed 14.9% and 9.3%, respectively, to the uncertainty in the calculation of LAI. Combining LC differences (3.4%) with the uncertainty within the loblolly pine component resulted in doubling the LAI-RM variability (σ = 0.50 to σ = 0.97) at the 1 km² validation site located in Appomattox, Virginia, USA.

JO - Journal of Cheminformatics JF - Journal of Cheminformatics Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 17582946 AB - Background: The use of structural alerts to de-prioritize compounds with undesirable features as drug candidates has been gaining in popularity. Hundreds of molecular structural moieties have been proposed as structural alerts. An emerging issue is that strict application of these alerts will result in a significant reduction of the chemistry space for new drug discovery, as more than half of the oral drugs on the market match at least one of the alerts. To mitigate this issue, we propose to apply a rigorous statistical analysis to derive/validate structural alerts before use. Method: To derive human liver toxicity structural alerts, we retrieved all small-molecule entries from LiverTox, a U.S. National Institutes of Health online resource for information on human liver injuries induced by prescription and over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. We classified the compounds into hepatotoxic, nonhepatotoxic, and possible hepatotoxic classes, and performed detailed statistical analyses to identify molecular structural fragments highly enriched in the hepatotoxic class beyond random distribution as structural alerts for human liver injuries. Results: We identified 12 molecular fragments present in multiple marketed drugs that one can consider as common "drug-like" fragments, yet they are strongly associated with drug-induced human liver injuries. Thus, these fragments may be considered as robust hepatotoxicity structural alerts suitable for use in drug discovery screening programs. Conclusions: The use of structural alerts has contributed to the identification of many compounds with potential toxicity issues in modern drug discovery. However, with a large number of structural alerts published to date without proper validation, application of these alerts may restrict the chemistry space and prevent discovery of valuable drugs. To mitigate this issue, we showed how to use statistical analyses to develop a small, robust, and broadly applicable set of structural alerts.

Blood was collected using a syringe with a cannula inserted into a superficial arm vein with samples collected at rest, after each 7 min stage and 5 and 15 min into recovery. With training, all groups observed shifted plasma Peptide F responses to graded exercise, where significant increases were observed at lower exercise intensities. Increases in plasma epinephrine with exercise were observed in all groups. The Combined group saw increases at 25% at T-3 and for 50% at T-2, T-3, and T-4 which was higher than T-1. The Endurance group demonstrated increases for 50% at T-1, T-2, T-3 but not at T-4. The plasma epinephrine response to graded exercise was reduced in the Strength group. Increases in plasma norepinephrine above rest were observed starting at 50% . The Strength group demonstrated a significant reduction in norepinephrine observed at 100% at T-3 and T-4. Peptide F and catecholamines responses to graded exercise can be altered by different types of physical exercise training. Simultaneous high intensity training may produce adrenal medulla exhaustion when compared to single mode training.

Rate constant ( k r) efficacy values of the non-oximes were found to be within ten-fold of pralidoxime (2-PAM) in an in vitro DFP inhibited eel AChE assay and one of them showed in vivo efficacy comparable to 2-PAM against brain symptoms for DFP induced neuropathology in guinea pigs. Short listing of the identified compounds were performed on the basis of in silico evaluations for favorable blood brain barrier penetrability, octanol–water partition (Clog P), toxicity (rat oral LD 50 ) and binding affinity to the active site of the crystal structure of a OP- inhibited AChE.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2015/01/27/ VL - 112 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1001 EP - 1006 SN - 00278424 AB - Thermally incised meltwater channels that flow each summer across melt-prone surfaces of the Greenland ice sheet have received little direct study. We use high-resolution WorldView-1/2 satellite mapping and in situ measurements to characterize supraglacial water storage, drainage pattern, and discharge across 6,812 km2 of southwest Greenland in July 2012, after a record melt event. Efficient surface drainage was routed through 523 high-order stream/river channel networks, all of which terminated in moulins before reaching the ice edge. Low surface water storage (3.6 ± 0.9 cm), negligible impoundment by supraglacial lakes or topographic depressions, and high discharge to moulins (2.54-2.81 cm.d-1) indicate that the surface drainage system conveyed its own storage volume every <2 d to the bed. Moulin discharges mapped inside ∼52% of the source ice watershed for Isortoq, a major proglacial river, totaled ∼41-98% of observed proglacial discharge, highlighting the importance of supraglacial river drainage to true outflow from the ice edge. However, Isortoq discharges tended lower than runoff simulations from the Modèle Atmosphérique Régional (MAR) regional climate model (0.056-0.112 km3.d-1 vs. ∼0.103 km3.d-1), and when integrated over the melt season, totaled just 37-75% of MAR, suggesting nontrivial subglacial water storage even in this melt-prone region of the ice sheet. We conclude that (i) the interior surface of the ice sheet can be efficiently drained under optimal conditions, (ii) that digital elevation models alone cannot fully describe supraglacial drainage and its connection to subglacial systems, and (iii) that predicting outflow from climate models alone, without recognition of subglacial processes, may overestimate true meltwater export from the ice sheet to the ocean.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 75 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 87 SN - 0734743X AB - This paper presents a three-step method for designing steel plate composite (SC) walls subjected to missile impact. This method can be used to compute the minimum required steel plate thickness for SC walls to prevent perforation due to missile impact. The design method was verified using the complete experimental database of 130 SC wall missile impact tests compiled as part of this research. The design method compares favorably with the observations and results from the experimental database and can be used within its range of applicability to design SC walls to prevent missile perforation. The paper also presents the development and benchmarking of 3D finite element models for predicting the behavior and local failure of SC walls subjected to missile impact. The models were benchmarked using test results from the experimental database and results were used to confirm the failure mechanism of SC walls subjected to missile impact. The benchmarked models were used to conduct analytical parametric studies to expand the database, and further verify the design method. The numerical modeling approach is recommended for future research and design of specific SC wall configurations to resist design basis missiles.

Four types of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs namely High Strength Concrete (HSC) with HSLA-V Steel Reinforcing bars (HSC-VR), High Strength Concrete with Conventional Steel Reinforcing bars (HSC-NR), Normal Strength Concrete (NSC) with HSLA-V Steel Reinforcing bars (NSC-VR), and Normal Strength Concrete with Conventional Steel Reinforcing bars (NSC-NR) have been studied and compared both experimentally and numerically. The slabs were subjected to blast loads using a shock tube capable of generating both positive and negative phase pressures. Data collected during the dynamic experiments consisted of reflected pressure obtained from several pressure gages arranged along the perimeter of the test article and mid-span deflections captured from an accelerometer, a laser device, and high speed video. The numerical analysis was performed with the commercial program LS-DYNA using two material models. The concrete material models considered were Winfrith Concrete Model (WCM) and Concrete Damage Model Release 3 (CDMR3). Results from the numerical simulation are compared with the experimental values to determine material parameters and other finite element model related constraints. Mesh sensitivity and crack propagation studies were also conducted. From this study it was observed that CDMR3 and WCM can be used over a wider range of concrete compressive strengths. The advantages and disadvantages of using high strength materials are discussed.

JO - Viruses (1999-4915) JF - Viruses (1999-4915) Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 37 EP - 51 SN - 19994915 AB - Recovery from ebolavirus infection in humans is associated with the development of both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. According to recent studies, individuals that did not survive infection with ebolaviruses appear to have lacked a robust adaptive immune response and the expression of several early innate response markers. However, a comprehensive protective immune profile has yet to be described. Here, we examine cellular memory immune responses among survivors of two separate Ebolavirus outbreaks (EVDs) due to Sudan virus (SUDV) infection in Uganda-Gulu 2000-2001 and Kibaale 2012. Freshly collected blood samples were stimulated with inactivated SUDV, as well as with recombinant SUDV or Ebola virus (EBOV) GP (GP1-649). In addition, ELISA and plaque reduction neutralization assays were performed to determine anti-SUDV IgG titers and neutralization capacity. Cytokine expression was measured in whole blood cultures in response to SUDV and SUDV GP stimulation in both survivor pools, demonstrating recall responses that indicate immune memory. Cytokine responses between groups were similar but had distinct differences. Neutralizing, SUDV-specific IgG activity against irradiated SUDV and SUDV recombinant proteins were detected in both survivor cohorts. Furthermore, humoral and cell-mediated crossreactivity to EBOV and EBOV recombinant GP1-649 was observed in both cohorts. In conclusion, immune responses in both groups of survivors demonstrate persistent recognition of relevant antigens, albeit larger cohorts are required in order to reach greater statistical significance. The differing cytokine responses between Gulu and Kibaale outbreak survivors suggests that each outbreak may not yield identical memory responses and promotes the merits of studying the immune responses among outbreaks of the same virus. Finally, our demonstration of cross-reactive immune recognition suggests that there is potential for developing cross-protective vaccines for ebolaviruses.

Several studies have investigated its thyroid hormone disrupting properties. Its associations with other biological measures are largely unknown. This study, combining 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, investigated associations between urinary perchlorate and biomarkers of iron homeostasis, lipids, blood cell counts, and glucose metabolism. Healthy males (n = 3705), non-pregnant females (n = 2967), and pregnant females (n = 356), aged 12-59 years, were included in the linear regression models, which showed significant positive (+) and negative (-) associations for both males and non-pregnant females with serum uric acid (-), serum iron (-), RBC count (-), blood urea nitrogen (+), and lymphocyte count (+). Other significant associations were observed for either males or non-pregnant females. Among pregnant females, perchlorate was significantly associated with blood urea nitrogen (+) and serum iron (-). These associations may be indicators of perchlorate's potential effect on several biological systems, which when considered in total, may implicate perturbation of iron homeostasis.

Despite the lattice positions being fixed, the location of the vacancy and the positions of the five nitrogen atoms are not unique, presenting a challenge to the prediction of the crystal structure. This problem is analogous to random alloys, for which a technique has been developed to identify small scale simulation cells called special quasirandom structures (SQS). We present SQS for alon, and discuss the unique features of these structures for this material. We also modified the SQS methodology to identify the first cubic crystal structure for alon with the above stoichiometry.

The range tunnel is 5.5 m wide ×4.3 m tall ×300 m long. The tunnel is preceded by a large armament room that permits tracked and wheeled vehicles to fire weapons downrange. Combusted gases and particles within the range have been observed to stagnate and obscure the range even after firing short automatic bursts. Computations were performed for existing configurations of supply and exhaust vents, barriers and doors to compare with actual flow measurements made within the range. The numerical model was found to represent the existing flows quite well, so the model was then used to investigate alternate flow configurations.

Thirteen male soldiers performed one performance (repeated 30-m rushing) and three mobility tasks (walk, walk over and walk under) with three different body armor configurations and an anterior fighting load. Increasing body armor protection, decreased soldier performance, as individual and total 30-m rush times were significantly longer with greater protection. While increasing body armor protection had no impact on mobility, i.e. significant effect on trunk and lower limb biomechanics, during the walk and walk over tasks, greater protection did significantly decrease maximum trunk flexion during the walk under task. Adding fighting load may negatively impact soldier mobility, as greater maximum trunk extension was evident during the walk and walk over tasks, and decreased maximum trunk flexion exhibited during the walk under task with the fighting load.

A 14-day oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats was conducted with NTO in polyethylene glycol -200 by gavage at doses of 0, 250, 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 mg/kg-d. Body mass and food consumption decreased in males (2000 mg/kg-d), and testes mass was reduced at doses of 500 mg/kg-d and greater. Based on the findings in the 14-day study, a 90-day study was conducted at doses of 0, 30, 100, 315, or 1000 mg/kg-d NTO. There was no effect on food consumption, body mass, or neurobehavioral parameters. Males in the 315 and 1000 mg/kg-d groups had reduced testes mass with associated tubular degeneration and atrophy. The testicular effects were the most sensitive adverse effect and were used to derive a benchmark dose (BMD) of 70 mg/kg-d with a 10% effect level (BMDL10) of 40 mg/kg-d.

JO - Optical Materials JF - Optical Materials Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 39 M3 - Article SP - 195 EP - 198 SN - 09253467 AB - By fitting femtosecond transient difference absorption time series at multiple wavelengths, the singlet excited-state lifetime of a particular platinum(II) 2,2′-bipyridyl complex bearing naphthalimidylethynyl-substituted fluorenyl-acetylide ligands was determined to be 83.5 ± 39 ps in toluene solution. A triplet quantum yield of 0.06 was measured using relative actinometry. Excited-state absorption cross sections of 5.6 × 10 −17 cm 2 (singlet) and 7.8 × 10 −16 cm 2 (triplet) at 532 nm were obtained by using a five-level dynamic model to fit open-aperture Z scans at picosecond and nanosecond pulse widths and a variety of pulse energies. Most significantly, fits of nanosecond transient difference absorption decay data yield a value of 16.3 μs for the triplet excited-state lifetime of the complex in deoxygenated toluene solution, longer by a factor of almost 20 than the lifetime of the analogous complex with benzothiazolyl-substituted ligands.

The introduction of the C-17 aircraft and the requirement of dowel bars as a joint load transfer mechanism bring into question the validity of the 152-mm (6-in.) minimum thickness. With the objective of updating such minimum thickness criteria, a full-scale test section was constructed and trafficked with loads simulating F-15, B-52, and C-17 aircraft landing gear. Evaluation of the test section performance and analysis of the strain data supported a U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center team recommendations that the minimum pavement thickness be increased to 203 mm (8 in.) for any doweled airfield pavement and that the minimum thickness of 279 mm (11 in.) should be required for those pavements supporting C-17 aircraft.

T1 - Synchrotron-Based Imaging of Chromium and γ-H2AX Immunostaining in the Duodenum Following Repeated Exposure to Cr(VI) in Drinking Water. JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 143 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 16 EP - 25 SN - 10966080 AB - Current drinking water standards for chromium are for the combined total of both hexavalent and trivalent chromium (Cr(VI) and Cr(III)). However, recent studies have shown that Cr(III) is not carcinogenic to rodents, whereas mice chronically exposed to high levels of Cr(VI) developed duodenal tumors. These findings may suggest the need for environmental standards specific for Cr(VI). Whether the intestinal tumors arose through a mutagenic or non-mutagenic mode of action (MOA) greatly impacts how drinking water standards for Cr(VI) are derived. Herein, X-ray fluorescence (spectro)microscopy (µ-XRF) was used to image the Cr content in the villus and crypt regions of duodena from B6C3F1 mice exposed to 180 mg/l Cr(VI) in drinking water for 13 weeks. DNA damage was also assessed by γ-H2AX immunostaining. Exposure to Cr(VI) induced villus blunting and crypt hyperplasia in the duodenum—the latter evidenced by lengthening of the crypt compartment by ∼2-fold with a concomitant 1.5-fold increase in the number of crypt enterocytes. γ-H2AX immunostaining was elevated in villi, but not in the crypt compartment. µ-XRF maps revealed mean Cr levels >30 times higher in duodenal villi than crypt regions; mean Cr levels in crypt regions were only slightly above background signal. Despite the presence of Cr and elevated γ-H2AX immunoreactivity in villi, no aberrant foci indicative of transformation were evident. These findings do not support a MOA for intestinal carcinogenesis involving direct Cr-DNA interaction in intestinal stem cells, but rather support a non-mutagenic MOA involving chronic wounding of intestinal villi and crypt cell hyperplasia.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 143 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 178 EP - 184 SN - 10966080 AB - Rationale: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical weapon stockpiled today in volatile regions of the world. SM inhalation causes a life-threatening airway injury characterized by airway obstruction from fibrin casts, which can lead to respiratory failure and death. Mortality in those requiring intubation is more than 80%. No therapy exists to prevent mortality after SM exposure. Our previous work using the less toxic analog of SM, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, identified tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) an effective rescue therapy for airway cast obstruction (Veress, L. A., Hendry-Hofer, T. B., Loader, J. E., Rioux, J. S., Garlick, R. B., and White, C. W. (2013). Tissue plasminogen activator prevents mortality from sulfur mustard analog-induced airway obstruction. Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol. 48, 439–447). It is not known if exposure to neat SM vapor, the primary agent used in chemical warfare, will also cause death due to airway casts, and if tPA could be used to improve outcome. Methods: Adult rats were exposed to SM, and when oxygen saturation reached less than 85% (median: 6.5 h), intratracheal tPA or placebo was given under isoflurane anesthesia every 4 h for 48 h. Oxygen saturation, clinical distress, and arterial blood gases were assessed. Microdissection was done to assess airway obstruction by casts. Results: Intratracheal tPA treatment eliminated mortality (0% at 48 h) and greatly improved morbidity after lethal SM inhalation (100% death in controls). tPA normalized SM-associated hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and lactic acidosis, and improved respiratory distress. Moreover, tPA treatment resulted in greatly diminished airway casts, preventing respiratory failure from airway obstruction. Conclusions: tPA given via airway more than 6 h after exposure prevented death from lethal SM inhalation, and normalized oxygenation and ventilation defects, thereby rescuing from respiratory distress and failure. Intra-airway tPA should be considered as a life-saving rescue therapy after a significant SM inhalation exposure incident.

JO - Journal of Forensic Sciences (Wiley-Blackwell) JF - Journal of Forensic Sciences (Wiley-Blackwell) Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 60 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 225 SN - 00221198 AB - Modern ballistic helmets defeat penetrating bullets by energy transfer from the projectile to the helmet, producing helmet deformation. This deformation may cause severe injuries without completely perforating the helmet, termed 'behind armor blunt trauma' ( BABT). As helmets become lighter, the likelihood of larger helmet backface deformation under ballistic impact increases. To characterize the potential for BABT, seven postmortem human head/neck specimens wearing a ballistic protective helmet were exposed to nonperforating impact, using a 9 mm, full metal jacket, 124 grain bullet with velocities of 400-460 m/s. An increasing trend of injury severity was observed, ranging from simple linear fractures to combinations of linear and depressed fractures. Overall, the ability to identify skull fractures resulting from BABT can be used in forensic investigations. Our results demonstrate a high risk of skull fracture due to BABT and necessitate the prevention of BABT as a design factor in future generations of protective gear.

This paper investigates the signatures of indoor clutter using radar cross section (RCS) and linear depolarization ratios to implement clutter suppression algorithms. The paper focuses on the analysis of common individual and composite pieces of indoor clutter for TTWR. The characterization of the wideband spectral properties of indoor clutter elements is accomplished using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) techniques. Using FDTD, the spectral characteristics of clutter elements are obtained over a wide range of frequencies, different polarizations, and aspect angles.We compare and contrast the RCS responses between the different objects for analysis and use in TTWR. RCS results obtained from the simulations are compared to experimental data using a network analyzer and reasonable agreement is obtained. Clutter signatures are also compared to those of humans in order to design appropriate waveforms for maximizing the signal-to-clutter ratio in TTWR systems.

Built on a ranch owned by Lieutenant John Lapham Bullis, the outpost protected a reliable water source today called Meyers Spring, and guarded both a new road to Fort Davis and the construction of a portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Established by a company of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the post was garrisoned by rotating companies of the 8th Cavalry and the Detachment of Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts. The diary of Lieutenant Francis Henry French, commanding the Detachment of Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts at Camp Mayers Spring, gives historians a very detailed, accurate, and colorful picture of life at the outpost.

The topology optimization scheme is based on a constructive solid geometry-like representation, in which convex polygons-defined as the convex hull of arbitrary-length lists of points-are combined using an overlapping function. This data structure is tree-shaped and so genetic programming is used as the optimizer. The forward problem is solved with a multiscale finite element method with automatic cohesive zone insertion to model damage. As a multiscale method, loads and boundary conditions are applied and objective functions measured at a global scale, while the local scale material structure is optimized. The global scale geometry is assumed fixed. Pareto optimal designs are generated, representing optimal tradeoffs between conflicting goals: quasi-static displacement and dynamic strain energy. Results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

The packing density of materials in the model particles spans the range from 0.169 through 0.336. We investigate four different refractive indices m =1.313+0 i , 1.6+0.0005 i , 1.5+0.1 i , and 1.855+0.45 i , which are representative of various cosmic and terrestrial materials in the visible. In each case, we consider a wide range of size parameters that makes it possible to average the light-scattering response over particle size with a power-law size distribution. We find that despite noticeable differences in particle morphology, their light-scattering responses are remarkably similar; the difference in light scattering often does not exceed the error bars occurring in laboratory measurements of micron-sized particles. On the contrary, the impact of refractive index and size distribution on light scattering appears to be much stronger compared with the morphology of complex, agglomerate particles. This finding may simplify considerably the interpretation of photo-polarimetric observations of atmospheric aerosols, cosmic dust particles, etc., because the precise specification of target-particle shape is unnecessary for the analysis.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2015/01// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 405 EP - 415 SN - 01962892 AB - Hyperspectral remote sensing often captures imagery where the spectral profiles of the spatial pixels are the result of the reflectance contribution of numerous materials. Spectral unmixing is then used to extract the collection of materials, or endmembers, contained in the measured spectra and a set of corresponding fractions that indicate the abundance of each material present at each pixel. This paper aims at developing a spectral unmixing algorithm directly from compressive measurements acquired using the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system. The proposed method first uses the compressive measurements to find a sparse vector representation of each pixel in a 3-D dictionary formed by a 2-D wavelet basis and a known spectral library of endmembers. The sparse vector representation is estimated by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem using an algorithm based on the variable splitting augmented Lagrangian multipliers method. The performance of the proposed spectral unmixing method is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The optimal coded apertures are designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Simulations with synthetic and real hyperspectral cubes illustrate the accuracy of the proposed unmixing method.

The design of the building envelope is the most lasting feature affecting the energy use of a hospital, due to its service-life typically equaling the life of the facility. Recent developments in sustainability and evidence-based design (EBD) have created additional requirements for the design and construction of facilities. This study investigates the impact that design interventions supported by EBD and energy code compliance may have on the building envelope, and their consequence for the energy consumption of Military Health System facilities. Energy simulations were conducted using eQUEST software on two casestudy facilities. The analysis demonstrates that various EBD design measures, such as increased use of views and daylighting, appear to be in conflict with certain goals of energy design. Yet, their impact on energy consumption may be limited compared to the potential savings that can be achieved from proper design of the mechanical systems. The use of energy simulation software and early design collaboration between multiple professional disciplines is recognized as critical to achieve optimal design solutions.

The work reported here considers a small flow control device, termed a microspoiler system, located between the rear stabilizing fins of a projectile. Such a mechanism relies on the boundary-layer shock interaction between the projectile body, rear stabilizing fins, and microspoilers to provide a multiplicative effect on controllable forces and moments. To investigate performance of the microspoiler control mechanism, projectile trajectories with microspoilers were generated both computationally using a coupled CFD and rigid-body dynamic simulation and experimentally from spark range testing. Using this computational and experimental trajectory information, aerodynamic coefficients both with and without microspoilers were estimated and found to be in good agreement where the major effect of the microspoiler system is the addition of trim forces and moments along with a slight increase in axial forces. Additionally, control authority of a basic finned projectile equipped with an active microspoiler system is investigated for a typical direct-fire shooting scenario.

In particular, the concept of potentials for classical Markov semigroups/processes is extended to its noncommutative counterpart. The characterization of recurrent and transient quantum Markov semigroups and classification of irreducible quantum Markov semigroups are established in terms of the potential of some subharmonic projection for the QMS. This introductory and survey work can be treated as a continuation of the closely related paper by Chang [12], which dealt with the invariance, mean ergodicity and ergodicity of QMS. Since it is intended as an introduction to large time asymptotic behavior of quantum Markov semigroups, this article is made self-contained by reviewing relevant concepts and results in quantum probability space, quantum states, and quantum Markov semigroups that are necessary for the subsequent developments and readability for nonexperts in this research areas.

These parameters are based on the idea of minimizing the difference between MD measures for deformation and traction and their continuum counterparts. The procedures should be applicable to non-equilibrium and inhomogeneous systems, and to any part of a system, such as a polymer chain. The resulting procedures provide methods to obtain first and higher order deformation gradients associated with any subset of the MD system, and associated expressions for the Cauchy and nominal stresses. As these procedures are independent of the type of interactions, they can be used to study any MD simulation in a manner consistent with continuum mechanics and to extract information exploitable at the continuum scale to help construct continuum-level constitutive models.

We derive a method to compute these contributions, which we call mode energy fractions, from the phonon eigenvectors and a splitting of the dynamical matrix. This enables identification of phonon modes that most strongly excite the N-N bonds that play a key role in molecular decomposition of α-RDX. Correlating these fractions with the mode populations and contributions to the specific heat and thermal conductivity, we analyze how thermal energy is distributed by phonons following a passing shock. Contrary to the common explanation that thermal energy is transferred to the N-N bonds indirectly, by internal phonons, we find that lattice phonons dominate this thermal energy transfer, implying that energy flow follows a direct route. We also comment on implications of these results for non-shock decomposition of α-RDX.

The exothermic nature of Ni/Al reactions is well-known at typical self-heating rates of 103-106 K/s, but electrical heating allows the interrogation of phenomena at heating rates which are five to six orders of magnitude higher. The use of time-resolved streak camera emission spectroscopy revealed that Ni/Al laminates heated at these higher rates exhibited brighter emission during the first 150 ns of emission than samples composed of either Al or Ni alone, suggesting an exothermic effect which rapidly started and persisted for at least this length of time. We also measured the transduction of electrical energy into kinetic energy through velocity measurements of encapsulation layers ejected from the bridge region. An empirical model using experimental power curves and one empirical fitting parameter successfully predicted these velocities. This model agreed well with experiments from different Al and Ni samples using the same fitting parameter, but an apparent 1.2 J/mg of additional energy from the mixing of Ni and Al was necessary to accurately predict velocities from Ni/Al laminate samples. This energy quantity corresponded to a reference value for the enthalpy of mixing Ni and Al, and likely contributed to both brighter emission and higher than expected velocities observed.

Morphological properties, such as micelle size, distance between micelles, and the bridge fraction, were calculated as a function of concentration. Although the micelle size was shown to have a strong dependence on concentration, the bridge fraction and distance between micelles were shown to plateau at moderate concentrations. Deformation under uni-axial tension was also performed to extract the cross-link and entanglement contribution to the elastic modulus. Scaling results qualitatively agree with other theoretical predications.

The potentials are represented by piece-wise functions (splines) and, therefore, are not constrained to a particular choice of analytical functional form. The FM method with virial constraint naturally yields a potential which maps out the ionic free-energy surface of the reference ensemble. To further improve the free energetics of the FM ensemble, the FM procedure is modified to bias the potentials to reproduce the experimental melting temperatures of the reference (FCC-Al, FCC-Ni, B2-NiAl) phases, the only macroscopic data included in the fitting set. The performance of the resultant potentials in simulating bulk metallic phases is then evaluated. The new model is applied to perform MD simulations of self-propagating exothermic reaction in Ni-Al bilayers at P = 0-5 GPa initiated at T = 1300 K. Consistent with experimental observations, the new model describes realistically a sequence of peritectic phase transformations throughout the reaction and at a realistic rate. The reaction proceeds through interlayer diffusion of Al and Ni atoms at the interface with formation of B2-NiAl in the Al melt. Such material responses have, in the past, been proven to be difficult to observe with then-existing potentials.

The potential is derived from a single ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation of molten silica using the force-matching method with the forces being represented numerically by piecewise functions (splines). The AIMD simulation is performed using the Born-Oppenheimer method with the generalized gradient approximation (BLYP) for the XC energy functional. The new effective potential includes a soft-repulsive shoulder to describe the interactions of oxygen ions at short separations. The new potential, despite being short-ranged and derived from single-phase data, exhibits a good transferability to silica crystalline polymorphs and amorphous silica. The importance of the O-O soft-repulsive shoulder interaction on glass densification under cold and shock compressions is assessed from MD simulations of silica glass under room and shock Hugoniot conditions, respectively. Results from these simulations indicate that the appearance of oxygen complexes (primarily pairs) interacting through soft-repulsive shoulder potential occurs at 8-10 GPa, and under cold compression conditions becomes notable at 40 GPa, essentially coinciding with the transition to a Si sixfold coordination state. An analysis of changes in system structure in compressed and shocked states reveals that the O ions interacting through the soft-repulsive shoulder potential in denser states of silica glass may create a mechanical multi-stability under elevated pressures and thus to contribute to the observed anomalous densification.

Nevertheless, the effects of estuary and river restoration often continue to be evaluated at local project scales or by integration in an additive manner. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to apply knowledge gained from measuring cumulative impacts of anthropogenic stressors on ecosystems to assessment of ecological restoration. Integration of this knowledge has potential to increase the efficacy of restoration projects that are conducted at several locations but comanaged within the confines of a larger integrative program. We introduce a framework based on a levels-of-evidence approach that facilitates assessment of the cumulative landscape effects of individual restoration actions taken at many different locations. It incorporates data collection at restoration and reference sites, hydrodynamic modeling, geographic information systems, and meta-analyses in a five-stage process: design, data development, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, and application. This framework evolved from the need to evaluate the efficacy of restoration projects that are being implemented in numerous wetlands on the 235 km tidal portion of the Columbia River, USA, which are intended to increase rearing habitat for out-migrating juvenile salmonid fishes.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 6 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: The annotation of genomes from next-generation sequencing platforms needs to be rapid, high-throughput, and fully integrated and automated. Although a few Web-based annotation services have recently become available, they may not be the best solution for researchers that need to annotate a large number of genomes, possibly including proprietary data, and store them locally for further analysis. To address this need, we developed a standalone software application, the Annotation of microbial Genome Sequences (AGeS) system, which incorporates publicly available and inhouse- developed bioinformatics tools and databases, many of which are parallelized for high-throughput performance. Methodology: The AGeS system supports three main capabilities. The first is the storage of input contig sequences and the resulting annotation data in a central, customized database. The second is the annotation of microbial genomes using an integrated software pipeline, which first analyzes contigs from high-throughput sequencing by locating genomic regions that code for proteins, RNA, and other genomic elements through the Do-It-Yourself Annotation (DIYA) framework. The identified protein-coding regions are then functionally annotated using the in-house-developed Pipeline for Protein Annotation (PIPA). The third capability is the visualization of annotated sequences using GBrowse. To date, we have implemented these capabilities for bacterial genomes. AGeS was evaluated by comparing its genome annotations with those provided by three other methods. Our results indicate that the software tools integrated into AGeS provide annotations that are in general agreement with those provided by the compared methods. This is demonstrated by a >94% overlap in the number of identified genes, a significant number of identical annotated features, and a >90% agreement in enzyme function predictions.

The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives-decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)-and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between 'stayers' and 'leavers' after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions.

Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing.

SN - 07490208 AB - Advances in remote-sensing technology have led to its increased use for posthurricane disaster response and assessment; however, the use of the technology is underutilized in the recovery phase of the disaster management cycle. This study illustrates an example of a postdisaster recovery assessment by detecting coastal land cover, elevation, and volume changes using 3 years of post-Katrina hyperspectral and light detection and ranging data collected along the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana. Digital elevation models and basic land-cover classifications were generated for a 34- km2 study area for 2005, 2006, and 2007. A change detection method was used to assess postdisaster land-cover, elevation, and volume changes. Results showed that the vegetation classes had area increases, whereas bare ground/ roads and structures classes had area decreases. Overall estimated volume changes included a net volume decrease of 1.6 3 106 m3 in 2005 to 2006 and a net volume decrease of 2.1 3 106 m3 in 2006 to 2007 within the study area. More specifically, low vegetation and bare ground/roads classes had net volume increases, whereas medium and tall vegetation and structures classes had net volume decreases. These changes in land cover, elevation, and volume illustrate some of the major physical impacts of the disaster and ensuing recovery. This study demonstrates an innovative image fusion approach to assess physical changes and postdisaster recovery in a residential, coastal environment.

Here we summarize progress in the development of green LEDs and report on time resolved luminescence data of polar c-plane and non-polar m-plane material. We find that by rigorous reduction of structural defects in homoepitaxy on bulk GaN and V-defect suppression, higher efficiency at longer wavelengths becomes possible. We observe that the presence of donor acceptor pair recombination within the active region correlates with lower device performance. To evaluate the aspects of piezoelectric polarization we compare LED structures grown along polar and non-polar crystallographic axes. In contrast to the polar material we find single exponential luminescence decay and emission wavelengths that remain stable irrespective of the excitation density. Those findings render high prospects for overcoming green gap and droop in non-polar homoepitaxial growth.

We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database to compute the rates of AFI to identify high-risk ADA groups for the years 2000-2006. During this time, 16% of soldiers were clinically seen at least once for an AFI. Yearly, 60% to 70% of ADA soldiers with AFI had an ankle sprain/strain, and ankle sprain/strain had the highest 7-year rate of all AFIs (103 per 1,000). From 2000 to 2006, all AFI rates declined; however, enlisted male soldiers ≤30 years of age without an advanced degree were at highest risk. A history of an AFI in the previous 2 years increased AFI rates by 93% to 160%. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for identifying specific ADA groups at high risk of AFI: these groups should be targeted for preventive interventions.

We report on the experimental determination of the bulk gas diffusion coefficients, D, for oxygen (O) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF) through columnar sea ice under constant ice thickness conditions for ice surface temperatures between −4 and −12 °C. Profiles of SF through the ice indicate decreasing gas concentration from the ice/water interface to the ice/air interface, with evidence for solubility partitioning between gas-filled and liquid-filled pore spaces. On average, was 1.3 × 10 cm s (±40%) and was 3.9 × 10 cm s (±41%). The preferential partitioning of SF to the gas phase, which is the dominant diffusion pathway produced the greater rate of SF diffusion. Comparing these estimates of D with an existing estimate of the air-sea gas transfer through leads indicates that ventilation of the mixed layer by diffusion through sea ice may be negligible, compared to air-sea gas exchange through fractures in the ice pack, even when the fraction of open water is less than 1%.

JO - BMC Bioinformatics JF - BMC Bioinformatics Y1 - 2011/01/11/2011 Supplement 10 VL - 12 IS - Suppl 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712105 AB - Background: Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) provide integrated views of gene interactions that control biological processes. Many public databases contain biological interactions extracted from experimentally validated literature reports, but most furnish only information for a few genetic model organisms. In order to provide a bioinformatic tool for researchers who work with non-model organisms, we developed RefNetBuilder, a new platform that allows construction of putative reference pathways or GRNs from expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Results: RefNetBuilder was designed to have the flexibility to extract and archive pathway or GRN information from public databases such as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). It features sequence alignment tools such as BLAST to allow mapping ESTs to pathways and GRNs in model organisms. A scoring algorithm was incorporated to rank and select the best match for each query EST. We validated RefNetBuilder using DNA sequences of Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism having manually curated KEGG pathways. Using the earthworm Eisenia fetida as an example, we demonstrated the functionalities and features of RefNetBuilder. Conclusions: The RefNetBuilder provides a standalone application for building reference GRNs for non-model organisms on a number of operating system platforms with standard desktop computer hardware. As a new bioinformatic tool aimed for constructing putative GRNs for non-model organisms that have only ESTs available, RefNetBuilder is especially useful to explore pathway- or network-related information in these organisms.

JO - BMC Genomics JF - BMC Genomics Y1 - 2011/01/06/2011 Supplement 5 VL - 12 IS - Suppl 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712164 AB - Background: Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) is an approach widely used for reconstruction of gene regulatory networks from time-series microarray data. Its performance in network reconstruction depends on a structure learning algorithm. REVEAL (REVerse Engineering ALgorithm) is one of the algorithms implemented for learning DBN structure and used to reconstruct gene regulatory networks (GRN). However, the two-stage temporal Bayes network (2TBN) structure of DBN that specifies correlation between time slices cannot be obtained by score metrics used in REVEAL. Methods: In this paper, we study a more sophisticated score function for DBN first proposed by Nir Friedman for stationary DBNs structure learning of both initial and transition networks but has not yet been used for reconstruction of GRNs. We implemented Friedman's Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) score function, modified K2 algorithm to learn Dynamic Bayesian Network structure with the score function and tested the performance of the algorithm for GRN reconstruction with synthetic time series gene expression data generated by GeneNetWeaver and real yeast benchmark experiment data. Results: We implemented an algorithm for DBN structure learning with Friedman's score function, tested it on reconstruction of both synthetic networks and real yeast networks and compared it with REVEAL in the absence or presence of preprocessed network generated by Zou&Conzen's algorithm. By introducing a stationary correlation between two consecutive time slices, Friedman's score function showed a higher precision and recall than the naive REVEAL algorithm. Conclusions: Friedman's score metrics for DBN can be used to reconstruct transition networks and has a great potential to improve the accuracy of gene regulatory network structure prediction with time series gene expression datasets.

JO - BMC Public Health JF - BMC Public Health Y1 - 2011/01/03/2011 Supplement 2 VL - 11 IS - Suppl 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712458 AB - The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, Division of Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Responseeliab System Operations (AFHSC-GEIS) initiated a coordinated, multidisciplinary program to link data sets and information derived from eco-climatic remote sensing activities, ecologic niche modeling, arthropod vector, animal diseasehost/ reservoir, and human disease surveillance for febrile illnesses, into a predictive surveillance program that generates advisories and alerts on emerging infectious disease outbreaks. The program's ultimate goal is pro-active public health practice through pre-event preparedness, prevention and control, and response decision-making and prioritization. This multidisciplinary program is rooted in over 10 years experience in predictive surveillance for Rift Valley fever outbreaks in Eastern Africa. The AFHSC-GEIS Rift Valley fever project is based on the identification and use of disease-emergence critical detection points as rle signals for increased outbreak risk. The AFHSC-GEIS predictive surveillance program has formalized the Rift Valley fever project into a structured template for extending predictive surveillance capability to other Department of Defense (DoD)-priority vector- and water-borne, and zoonotic diseases and geographic areas. These include leishmaniasis, malaria, and Crimea-Congo and other viral hemorrhagic fevers in Central Asia and Africa, dengue fever in Asia and the Americas, Japanese encephalitis (JE) and chikungunya fever in Asia, and rickettsial and other tick-borne infections in the U.S., Africa and Asia.

This includes activities that monitor the presence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens. AFHSC-GEIS partners work within DoD military treatment facilities and collaborate with host-nation civilian and military clinics, hospitals and university systems. The goals of these activities are to foster military force health protection and medical diplomacy. Surveillance activities include both community-acquired and health care-associated infections and have promoted the development of surveillance networks, centers of excellence and referral laboratories. Information technology applications have been utilized increasingly to aid in DoD-wide global surveillance for diseases significant to force health protection and global public health. This section documents the accomplishments and activities of the network through AFHSC-GEIS partners in 2009.

These initiatives represented a major piece of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, Division of Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System (AFHSC-GEIS) contributions to worldwide emerging infectious disease (EID) surveillance and response. Capacity-building initiatives were undertaken with over 80 local and regional Ministries of Health, Agriculture and Defense, as well as other government entities and institutions worldwide. The efforts supported at least 52 national influenza centers and other country-specific influenza, regional and U.S.-based EID reference laboratories (44 civilian, eight military) in 46 countries worldwide. Equally important, reference testing, laboratory infrastructure and equipment support was provided to over 500 field sites in 74 countries worldwide from October 2008 to September 2009. These activities allowed countries to better meet the milestones of implementation of the 2005 International Health Regulations and complemented many initiatives undertaken by other U.S. government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. Department of State.

The author emphasizes the role of preventive war strategies in the events leading up to World War II, during the Rhineland crisis, when the Rhineland area of Europe was militarized by German forces in 1936. He examines preventive war in light of logic which suggests "better now than later." Topics include the distribution of power, international conflict, and the demilitarization of the Rhineland.

However environmental processes that affect their macroecological patterns, like occupancy and abundance, are not well unraveled. In Florida the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) is resident along northern and western white sandy estuarine/ocean beaches and is considered a state-threatened species. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we show that favorable nesting areas along the Florida Gulf coastline are located in regions impacted relatively more frequently by tropical cyclones. The odds of Snowy Plover nesting in these areas during the spring following a tropical cyclone impact are seven times higher compared to the odds during the spring following a season without a cyclone. The only intensity of a tropical cyclone does not appear to be a significant factor affecting breeding populations. Conclusions/Significance: Nevertheless a future climate scenario featuring fewer, but more extreme cyclones could result in a decrease in the breeding Snowy Plover population and its breeding range. This is because the spatio-temporal frequency of cyclone events was found to significantly affect nest abundance. Due to the similar geographic range and habitat suitability, and no decrease in nest abundance of other shorebirds in Florida after the cyclone season, our results suggest a common bioclimatic feedback between shorebird abundance and tropical cyclones in breeding areas which are affected by cyclones.

JO - Environmental Health Perspectives JF - Environmental Health Perspectives Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 119 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 6 EP - 10 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00916765 AB - Background: This commentary evolved from a workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences titled "Superfund Contaminants: The Next Generation" held in Tucson, Arizona, in August 2009. All the authors were workshop participants. Objectives: Our aim was to initiate a dynamic, adaptable process for identifying contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) that are likely to be found in future hazardous waste sites, and to identify the gaps in primary research that cause uncertainty in determining future hazardous waste site contaminants. Discussion: Superfund-relevant CECs can be characterized by specific attributes: They are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, occur in large quantities, and have localized accumulation with a likelihood of exposure. Although still under development and incompletely applied, methods to quantify these attributes can assist in winnowing down the list of candidates from the universe of potential CECs. Unfortunately, significant research gaps exist in detection and quantification, environmental fate and transport, health and risk assessment, and site exploration and remediation for CECs. Addressing these gaps is prerequisite to a preventive approach to generating and managing hazardous waste sites. Conclusions: A need exists for a carefully considered and orchestrated expansion of programmatic and research efforts to identify, evaluate, and manage CECs of hazardous waste site relevance, including developing an evolving list of priority CECs, intensifying the identification and monitoring of likely sites of present or future accumulation of CECs, and implementing efforts that focus on a holistic approach to prevention.

SN - 01682563 AB - Increases in soil freezing associated with decreases in snow cover have been identified as a significant disturbance to nitrogen (N) cycling in northern hardwood forests. We created a range of soil freezing intensity through snow manipulation experiments along an elevation gradient at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in the White Mountains, NH USA in order to improve understanding of the factors regulating freeze effects on nitrate (NO) leaching, nitrous oxide (NO) flux, potential and in situ net N mineralization and nitrification, microbial biomass carbon (C) and N content and respiration, and denitrification. While the snow manipulation treatment produced deep and persistent soil freezing at all sites, effects on hydrologic and gaseous losses of N were less than expected and less than values observed in previous studies at the HBEF. There was no relationship between frost depth, frost heaving and NO leaching, and a weak relationship between frost depth and winter NO flux. There was a significant positive relationship between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and NO concentrations in treatment plots but not in reference plots, suggesting that the snow manipulation treatment mobilized available C, which may have stimulated retention of N and prevented treatment effects on N losses. While the results support the hypothesis that climate change resulting in less snow and more soil freezing will increase N losses from northern hardwood forests, they also suggest that ecosystem response to soil freezing disturbance is affected by multiple factors that must be reconciled in future research.

In this article, we examine the impact of negative attitudes toward treatment on treatment seeking among soldiers previously deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq (n = 2,623). We asked soldiers with psychological problems questions about stigma, organizational barriers, negative attitudes toward treatment, and whether they sought treatment for their psychological problems. We found that negative attitudes about treatment inversely predicted treatment seeking. These results provide a more comprehensive examination of reasons that soldiers do not seek needed treatment and highlight the need for policy aimed at reducing negative attitudes toward mental health treatment.

A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, Fluent, was used to solve the time-dependent Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, a standard turbulence k-[variant_greek_epsilon] model with wall functions, and a water volume of fluid fraction equation. A two-dimensional approach velocity profile was used at the upstream inlet cross section. Water levels, flow splits between the existing and auxiliary spillways, and flow patterns were predicted and compared. A tentative design was chosen, constructed, and tested in a 1:54 scale physical model. Testing results were used to validate the CFD model. Results demonstrate that the CFD model is validated as accurate in the prediction of water levels in the reservoir, the integrated approach used is cost-effective and efficient in optimizing the designs of the auxiliary spillway, the tentative design cannot pass the PMF at the maximum pool level which suggests further modifications being necessary in the physical model.

SN - 07490208 AB - The armor layer on the sea side of a rubble structure must be designed to protect against incident waves during storms. Formulas for armor stability and damage progression have been developed and are widely used for practical applications. However, none of the formulas accounts for the water depth at the toe of the structure explicitly. An alternative approach based on the maximum wave momentum flux at the toe of the structure is proposed in this article. Equations for sizing stable armor stone for constant incident waves and water level are proposed and calibrated using available data. Equations are also developed for determining damage progression in a life-cycle analysis involving varying wave and water level characteristics. The developed equations are calibrated using the damage progression tests conducted previously by the authors and verified using an additional 10 tests conducted for this article.

To clarify the genetic diversity of MJNV, partial M- and L-segment sequences were amplified from lung tissues of 12 of 37 (32.4%) anti-MJNV IgG antibody-positive Ussuri white-toothed shrews captured between 2004 and 2010. A 531-nucleotide region of the M segment (coordinates 2,255 to 2,785) revealed that the 12 MJNV strains differed by 0-12.2% and 0-2.3% at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively. A similar degree of nucleotide (0.2-11.9%) and amino acid (0-3.8%) difference was found in a 632-nucleotide length of the L segment (coordinates 962 to 1,593) of nine MJNV strains. Phylogenetic analyses, based on the partial M and L segments of MJNV strains generated by the neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood methods, showed geographic-specific clustering, akin to the phylogeography of rodent-borne hantaviruses.

T1 - High protein diet maintains glucose production during exercise-induced energy deficit: a controlled trial. JO - Nutrition & Metabolism JF - Nutrition & Metabolism Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 26 EP - 37 PB - BioMed Central SN - 17437075 AB - Background: Inadequate energy intake induces changes in endogenous glucose production (GP) to preserve muscle mass. Whether addition provision of dietary protein modulates GP response to energy deficit is unclear. The objective was to determine whether exercise-induced energy deficit effects on glucose metabolism are mitigated by increased dietary protein. Methods: Nineteen men ([mean ± SD] 23 ± 2 y, VO2peak 59 ± 5 ml·kg-1·min-1) were divided into three groups, two consuming moderate (MP; 0.9 g protein kg-1 d-1), and one high (HP; 1.8 g protein kg-1 d-1) protein diets (55% energy from carbohydrate) for 11 days. Following 4 days of energy balance (D1-4), energy expenditure was increased for 7 days (D5-12) in all groups. Energy intake was unchanged in two, creating a 1000 kcal d-1 deficit (DEF-MP, DEF-HP; n = 6, both groups), whereas energy balance was maintained in the third (BAL-MP, n = 7). Biochemical markers of substrate metabolism were measured during fasting rest on D4 and D12, as were GP and contribution of gluconeogenesis to endogenous glucose production (fgng) using 4-h primed, continuous infusions of [6,6-²H2]glucose (dilution-method) and [2-13C]glycerol (MIDA technique). Glycogen breakdown (GB) was derived from GP and fgng. Results: Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate levels increased, and plasma glucose and insulin declined from D4 to D12, regardless of group. DEF-MP experienced decreased plasma GP from D4 to D12 ([mean change ± SD] 0.24 ± 0.24 mg·kg-1·min-1), due to reduced GB from D4 (1.40 ± 0.28 mg·kg-1·min-1) to D12 (1.16 ± 0.17 mg·kg-1·min-1), P < 0.05. Conversely, BAL-MP and DEF-HP sustained GP from D4 to D12 ([mean change ± SD] 0.1 ± 0.5 and 0.0 ± 0.2 mg·kg- 1·min-1, respectively) by maintaining GB. Conclusion: Exercise-induced energy deficit decreased GP and additional dietary protein mitigated that effect.

Flow thickness and velocity were combined to estimate time series of the instantaneous discharge. Comparisons of the calculated overtopping discharge time series at the two locations revealed that the time series of instantaneous discharge was the same at both locations with the only difference being a short phase lag. Individual peaks of the discharge time series were examined, and an empirical expression was determined for the root-mean-squared discharge peak. The largest discharge peaks were overestimated by the Rayleigh distribution. For locations on the landward-side slope where the friction slope is approximately the same as the levee slope, it is possible to derive a stream power probability density function based on the overtopping discharge cumulative exceedance probability. The stream power probability density function may be a useful tool for assessing erosion potential of overtopped earthen levees.

We investigated an outbreak of radiologically-confirmed pneumonia that was recognized after 2 fatal cases of serotype 7F pneumococcal meningitis were reported in a 303-person military trainee company (Alpha Company). Methods: We reviewed surveillance data on pneumonia and febrile respiratory illness at the training facility; conducted chart reviews for cases of radiologically-confirmed pneumonia; and administered surveys and collected nasopharyngeal swabs from trainees in the outbreak battalion (Alpha and Hotel Companies), associated training staff, and trainees newly joining the battalion. Results: Among Alpha and Hotel Company trainees, the average weekly attack rates of radiologically-confirmed pneumonia were 1.4% and 1.2% (most other companies at FLW: 0-0.4%). The pneumococcal carriage rate among all Alpha Company trainees was 15% with a predominance of serotypes 7F and 3. Chlamydia pneumoniae was identified from 31% of specimens collected from Alpha Company trainees with respiratory symptoms. Conclusion: Although the etiology of the outbreak remains unclear, the identification of both S. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae among trainees suggests that both pathogens may have contributed either independently or as cofactors to the observed increased incidence of pneumonia in the outbreak battalion and should be considered as possible etiologies in outbreaks of pneumonia in the military population.

Some complex methods are highly accurate and require a lot of input data while others are fairly trivial and less accurate but require minimal input data. Projectile impact point predictors (IPPs) have three primary error sources: model error, parameter error, and initial state error. While model error typically shrinks as model complexity increases, parameter and initial state errors grow with increasing model complexity. Since all input data feeding an IPP are uncertain to some level, the ideal IPP for an overall situation is not clear cut by any means. This paper examines several different projectile IPPs that span the range of complex nonlinear rigid projectile models to simple vacuum point mass models with the intent to better understand relative merits of each algorithm in relation to the other algorithms and as a function of parameter uncertainty and initial state error. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to compute impact point statistics as a function of the range to the target for an indirect fire 155-mm spin stabilized round. For this specific scenario, results indicated neglecting physical phenomena in the formulation of the equations of motion can degrade impact point prediction, especially early in the flight. Adding uncertainty to the parameters and states induces impact point errors that dominate model error contributions. Impact point prediction errors scaled linearly with parameter and state errors. All IPPs investigated converged to the actual impact point as the time at which the estimate took place approached the time of impact.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 5 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - High density oligonucleotide probe arrays have increasingly become an important tool in genomics studies. In organisms with incomplete genome sequence, one strategy for oligo probe design is to reduce the number of unique probes that target every non-redundant transcript through bioinformatic analysis and experimental testing. Here we adopted this strategy in making oligo probes for the earthworm Eisenia fetida, a species for which we have sequenced transcriptome-scale expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Our objectives were to identify unique transcripts as targets, to select an optimal and non-redundant oligo probe for each of these target ESTs, and to annotate the selected target sequences. We developed a streamlined and easy-to-follow approach to the design, validation and annotation of species-specific array probes. Four 244K-formatted oligo arrays were designed using eArray and were hybridized to a pooled E. fetida cRNA sample. We identified 63,541 probes with unsaturated signal intensities consistently above the background level. Target transcripts of these probes were annotated using several sequence alignment algorithms. Significant hits were obtained for 37,439 (59%) probed targets. We validated and made publicly available 63.5K oligo probes so the earthworm research community can use them to pursue ecological, toxicological, and other functional genomics questions. Our approach is efficient, costeffective and robust because it (1) does not require a major genomics core facility; (2) allows new probes to be easily added and old probes modified or eliminated when new sequence information becomes available, (3) is not bioinformatics-intensive upfront but does provide opportunities for more in-depth annotation of biological functions for target genes; and (4) if desired, EST orthologs to the UniGene clusters of a reference genome can be identified and selected in order to improve the target gene specificity of designed probes. This approach is particularly applicable to organisms with a wealth of EST sequences but unfinished genome.

One of the monomers used contains a carboxylic acid group, which could help to link the monomer onto the TiO2 surface covalently. UV-Vis absorption and Raman studies showed that both monomers were successfully photopolymerized. These results suggest that the covalent linkage of the diacetylene to the nanoparticle through the carboxylic acid group is not needed. Since photopolymerization of diacetylene is typically induced by excitation of the monomer at λ< 300 nm, the observed red shift of the photopolymerization wavelength is attributed to the photosensitization effect of TiO2. The morphological study of the polydiacetylene/TiO2 nanocomposite revealed that the diacetylene monomers were polymerized in the vicinity of the TiO2 nanoparticles. This is attributed to the fact that the electron-transfer process occurs at the interface of nanocrystalline TiO2 (nc-TiO2) and the diacetylene monomer and the polymerization is expected to be initiated near the nc-TiO2 surface. Photopolymerization of the carboxylated diacetylene monomer with other oxides nanoparticles, such as ZnO and SiO2 was also investigated.

JO - Journal of Macromolecular Science: Pure & Applied Chemistry JF - Journal of Macromolecular Science: Pure & Applied Chemistry Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 47 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1191 EP - 1196 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10601325 AB - Quercetin is a flavonol found in fruits, onions and wine. Recently, quercetin has been extensively investigated for its antioxidant behavior in food such as poultry and fish. While quercetin has been shown to be a good stabilizer for several oils, the thermal stability and solubility at neutral and slightly alkaline conditions continue to be an area of huge concern. However, increasing the stability and the antioxidant potency of this flavonol would be beneficial to the food industry. We utilized horseradish peroxidase, a phytochemical enzyme, to polymerize quercetin in biocompatible water/ethanol mixtures. This unique, one pot procedure has provided a method to synthesize polyquercetin under mild conditions. The final polymer is soluble in a water/ethanol mixture. Preliminary data were presented in the Material Research Society fall meeting in Boston on December 3, 2008. However, in this article, enzymatically synthesized polyquercetin has also been characterized by a variety of techniques. Using UV-Vis FTIR, GPC, NMR and TGA we have deduced certain aspects of the structure. Structural elucidation was further refined by results from molecular modeling. Density functional theory calculations predict that the UV-Vis spectra of polyquercetin can show high conjugation relative to those of quercetin monomer. This was confirmed by the experimental results. This novel thermally stable polymer, synthesized using Green Chemistry principles, can be used as a potent antioxidant in the highly regulated food industry.

Measuring SWE takes ∼∼20 times as long as measuring depth, which in part is why depth measurements outnumber SWE measurements worldwide. Here a method of estimating snow bulk density is presented and then used to convert snow depth to SWE. The method is grounded in the fact that depth varies over a range that is many times greater than that of bulk density. Consequently, estimates derived from measured depths and modeled densities generally fall close to measured values of SWE. Knowledge of snow climate classes is used to improve the accuracy of the estimation procedure. A statistical model based on a Bayesian analysis of a set of 25 688 depth--density--SWE data collected in the United States, Canada, and Switzerland takes snow depth, day of the year, and the climate class of snow at a selected location from which it produces a local bulk density estimate. When converted to SWE and tested against two continental-scale datasets, 90%% of the computed SWE values fell within ±±8 cm of the measured values, with most estimates falling much closer.

It discusses data quality, utility, and lessons learned. Prospective data collected each shift include direct staff hours by levels (i.e., registered nurse, other licensed and unlicensed providers), staff categories (i.e., military, civilian, contract, and reservist), patient census, acuity, and admissions, discharges, and transfers. Retrospective adverse event data (falls, medication errors, and needle-stick injuries) were collected from existing records. Annual patient satisfaction, nurse work environment, and pressure ulcer and restraint prevalence surveys were conducted. The MilNOD contains shift level data from 56 units in 13 military hospitals and is used to target areas for managerial and clinical performance improvement. This methodology can be modified for use in other healthcare systems. As standard tools for evidence-based management, databases such as MilNOD allow nurse leaders to track the status of nursing and adverse events in their facilities.

The methods and application simulate field construction using commercial spray components. The test devices were constructed to simulate wind speeds and conditions for rotary wing aircraft. Fifteen chemical dust suppressants were evaluated using this methodology. These commercial products were applied topically to prepared soil specimens and allowed to cure for one and 48 h. Effectiveness was determined from the relative mass loss of the soil samples from erosion when samples were subjected to an air impingement device. An optical dust sensor was installed in the test device to measure airborne dust concentrations as an additional method for quantifying performance. A method to disturb the treated soil surface was also introduced to simulate the effect of traffic. Select application rates of the palliatives were used in sample preparation to identify minimal quantities necessary for the desired performance. The testing equipment and processes provided a rapid screening methodology for selecting potential dust palliatives. Results indicated good correlation between erosion and airborne dust concentrations with higher application rates and complete curing of materials demonstrating reduced dust levels. The traffic simulation test identified products with a propensity to form surface crusts that may be disturbed by traffic.

In this paper, we use the Kac-Rice formula to prove an analogous result: the density of complex critical points of one of these real random polynomials rapidly approaches the density of complex critical points of the corresponding complex random polynomial. In one variable, we give an exact formula and a scaling limit formula for the density of critical points of the real random SO(2) polynomial as well as for the density of critical points of the corresponding complex random SU(2) polynomial.

The new flume can be used not only to measure erosion rates, but also to analyze and quantify the modes of transport for this complex problem. The new device was used to study transport modes of quartz particles ranging in size from 19 to 1,250 μm. As expected, the traps captured the coarse material (bed load) and the fine material bypassed the traps (suspended load). Transport properties of natural sediments from three locations were also studied. Fine sediments with little or no sand eroded as aggregates which maintained their integrity in the flume channel while moving as bed load into the traps. Natural sediments that included high percentage of sand also eroded as aggregates. However, these aggregates quickly disaggregated. Sand moved as bed load and fell into the traps while fine particles moved predominately in suspension.

Laboratory experiments were performed with a reef profile typical of fringing reef systems along the southeast coast of Guam. Spectral analysis of the measured time histories of surface elevation over the reef face and flats show significant changes to the wave energy spectrum shoreward of the break point. Most of the wave energy in the incident wave frequency band is dissipated within a few wavelengths of the reef face with the wave motions over the reef flat and shoreline dominated by oscillations at infragravity periods [O(100s) prototype]. The infragravity wave energy is minimum at the reef crest and increases as waves propagate shoreward over the reef flat and also with increasing water level on the reef. The dominant infragravity mode is the first reef oscillation mode with a wavelength approximately equal to four times the width of the reef flat. This component is resonantly amplified at the shoreline relative to the incident infragravity energy at the reef crest. A numerical model based on the Boussinesq equations is applied to the laboratory data and is able to describe complex changes to the wave spectrum over the reef flat due to nonlinear wave-wave interactions and wave breaking as well as runup at the shoreline.

SEB binds directly to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells and T-cell receptors on T cells triggering T-cell proliferation and mediator release. SEB is a biothreat agent because of its ability to potently activate cells of the immune system. In vivo animal models are critical in the development of therapeutics against SEB-induced shock. Our results show that three different mouse strains with different susceptibility to SEB can be used to study SEB-induced shock without the use of potentiating agents. The hypothermic response, weight loss, and induction of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 2 (IL-2), and IL-6 correlated with mortality in all three models.

It has also been used experimentally as a pretreatment and/or treatment adjunct to mitigate the toxic sequelae of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agent intoxication. SCP has been reported to increase survival, prevent or terminate seizures, and reduce morbidity from nerve agent intoxication in a number of animal models. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine dose, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pretreatment, and oxime selection on the efficacy of SCP as an adjunctive treatment to enhance survival following lethal nerve agent exposure in guinea pigs. The results indicate that the use of an effective oxime and/or PB pretreatment was a critical factor in determining the efficacy of SCE SCP can also reduce the dose of atropine required for survival against lethal nerve agent intoxication.

Soldiers (n = 524) attending training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas completed self-report questionnaires and a foot assessment, which included measurement of foot size and arch height index. Researchers examined each soldier's running shoes for type, wear pattern, and general condition. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers wore shoes that were inappropriately sized: 56.5% wore shoes that were inappropriate for their foot type. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers had excessively worn shoes and 63% did not know recommended shoe replacement guidelines. Further efforts may be necessary to ensure that soldiers are aware of and compliant with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines. Future research is needed to determine whether adherence to these guidelines has a favorable effect on reducing risk of overuse injury.

A variety of toxicological effects have been associated with explosive compounds TNT and RDX. One important goal of microarray experiments is to discover novel biomarkers for toxicity evaluation. We have developed an earthworm microarray containing 15,208 unique oligo probes and have used it to profile gene expression in 248 earthworms exposed to TNT, RDX or neither. We assembled a new machine learning pipeline consisting of several well-established feature filtering/selection and classification techniques to analyze the 248-array dataset in order to construct classifier models that can separate earthworm samples into three groups: control, TNT-treated, and RDX-treated. First, a total of 869 genes differentially expressed in response to TNT or RDX exposure were identified using a univariate statistical algorithm of class comparison. Then, decision tree-based algorithms were applied to select a subset of 354 classifier genes, which were ranked by their overall weight of significance. A multiclass support vector machine (MC-SVM) method and an unsupervised K-mean clustering method were applied to independently refine the classifier, producing a smaller subset of 39 and 30 classifier genes, separately, with 11 common genes being potential biomarkers. The combined 58 genes were considered the refined subset and used to build MC-SVM and clustering models with classification accuracy of 83.5% and 56.9%, respectively. This study demonstrates that the machine learning approach can be used to identify and optimize a small subset of classifier/ biomarker genes from high dimensional datasets and generate classification models of acceptable precision for multiple classes.

Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory, research, and practice.

Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed.

In this paper, an analytical model for the upstream pressure field on a typical gate within the set is constructed. The gate rotation from the maximum elevation (gate in closed position) and the hydraulic torque transmitted by the pressure field to the gate tube are formulated. Mean values of parameters of response are often sufficient for the preliminary design of a gate. The dispersions of these parameters of response, which are necessary for the final design of a gate, may be computed using the corresponding mean-square values. These were obtained empirically in a flume from experiments on a 1/15-scale physical model of a set of three prototype gates for the Montgomery Point Lock and Dam project. Theoretical predictions of parameter mean and mean-square values compare well with the average corresponding statistics obtained experimentally.

The model includes the absorption of energy at the elastic reservoir bottom, characterized by the impedance ratio of the sub-bottom materials with respect to water (α). The formulated boundary-value problem is solved in Laplace's domain and subsequently transformed back to the time domain. Response spectra for the hydrodynamic base shear force and overturning moment are constructed for extreme values of the parameter α. It is found that, frequently, including the solid-foundation elasticity in the reservoir model attenuates the resultant hydrodynamic forces on a rigid barrier, as compared to the results for the case of a rigid reservoir foundation. In this case, the elasticity of the sub-bottom materials constitutes an effective energy dissipating mechanism (radiation damping). By contrast, for sub-bottom materials with less-than-water impedance, amplification of the effective earthquake forces is obtained, as compared to the results for the case of a rigid reservoir foundation.

However, some taxa of the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain (GACP) demonstrate complex yet recurrent distributional patterns that cannot be explained by this model. For example, eight co-occurring endemic plant taxa with ranges from New York to South Carolina exhibit a large disjunction separating northern and southern populations by >300 km. Pyxidanthera (Diapensiaceae), a plant genus that exhibits this pattern, consists of two taxa recognized as either species or varieties. We investigated the taxonomy and phylogeography of Pyxidanthera using morphological data, cpDNA sequences, and amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. Morphological characters thought to be important in distinguishing Pyxidanthera barbulata and P. brevifolia demonstrate substantial overlap with no clear discontinuities. Genetic differentiation is minimal and diversity estimates for northern and southern populations of Pxyidanthera are similar, with no decrease in rare alleles in northern populations. In addition, the northern populations harbour several unique cpDNA haplotypes. Pyxidanthera appears to consist of one morphologically variable species that persisted in or near its present range at least through the latter Pleistocene, while the vicariance of the northern and southern populations may be comparatively recent. This work demonstrates that the refugial paradigm is not always appropriate and GACP endemic plants, in particular, may exhibit phylogeographical patterns qualitatively different from those of other ENA plant species.

Although there is a high level of consensus across these documents, there are also areas of apparent difference that may lead to confusion among those to whom the guidelines are targeted-providers, consumers, and purchasers of mental health services for people affected by trauma. The authors have been responsible for developing guidelines across three continents (North America, Europe, and Australia). The aim of this article is to examine the various guidelines and to compare and contrast their methodologies and recommendations to aid clinicians in making decisions about their use.

The purpose of this review was to determine whether there is evidence-based justification to recommend purchase and promotion of probiotic-containing food in military dining facilities (DFACs). Peer-reviewed literature was searched to identity well-conducted systematic reviews and original research related to the efficacy of probiotics in preventing and/or treating acute infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis, dental health issues, and female urogenital conditions. Probiotics may be useful for preventing and/or treating military-relevant health conditions. However, the available scientific evidence is not sufficient to warrant widespread procurement and promotion of probiotic-containing food items in military DFACs. Health care practitioners considering recommending probiotics should understand that health effects and clinical outcomes discussed herein are specific to the probiotic strain, dose, and method of delivery studied in the articles cited.

This report provides preliminary reliability, validity, and normative data on a modified version of the instrument designed to facilitate data entry with optical scanners, the Evaluation of Risks-Bubble Sheet version (EVAR-B). Methods: 2,015 U.S. Army soldiers completed the EVAR-B and a survey assessing risk-related behaviors 3 months after returning home from combat deployment in Iraq. Results: EVAR-B demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and reliability and correlated significantly with independent measures of self reported risk-taking behavior, including alcohol use and aggressive behavior, in the weeks preceding the survey. Tentative cut-offs significantly differentiated heavy drinkers, dangerous drivers, and soldiers reporting recent aggressive outbursts. Normative data are provided for comparison with future studies. Conclusions: The EVAR-B is a reliable and valid measure of risk-taking propensity, which provides enhanced flexibility for administration and scoring in large surveys and field environments.

In this article, the authors present a proposed framework for conducting such evaluations through integrating developmental testing, operational testing, and operational performance data into the evaluations. A recent example of the evaluation of a suite of aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems is also discussed, relating the aerial ISR evaluation to the proposed framework.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 26 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 888 EP - 900 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Earthen levees are designed for little wave overtopping during a design storm, but excessive overtopping and overflow can occur due to the combined effects of an extreme storm, sea level rise, and land subsidence. The transition from little wave overtopping to excessive wave overtopping and overflow on an impermeable smooth levee is examined in waveflume experiments consisting of 107 tests. Existing empirical formulas are shown to be applicable to the cases of excessive wave overtopping and overflow in these tests. A numerical model based on time-averaged continuity, momentum, and wave action equations is connected to a new probabilistic model for the wet-and-dry zone, in order to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation and depth-averaged fluid velocity from outside the surf zone to the inner slope of the levee. The new model is calibrated to predict the measured overtopping and overflow rates within a factor of about two. The agreement is also shown to be similar for the water depths and velocities measured in the wet-and-dry zone on six different structures in 100 Dutch tests. The developed hydrodynamic model is coupled with new formulas for suspended-sand and bedload transport rates to predict dune erosion and overwash. The coupled model is compared with two small-scale tests on dune erosion with minor overwash, three large-scale tests on dune erosion, and field data on dune erosion and overwash due to severe storms lasting several days. The overwashed-dune profiles are predicted reasonably well, but the coupled model will need to be evaluated using measurements of wave overtopping and overwash rates.

The model is based on the time-averaged continuity and momentum equations for nonlinear shallow-water waves coupled with the exponential probability distribution of the water depth. The model predicts the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the water depth and horizontal velocity. The model is compared with four test series in which measurement was made of the wave overtopping rate and probability as well as the water depth, velocity, and discharge exceeded by 2% of incident 1,000 waves. The agreement is mostly within a factor of 2. Damage progression of a stone armor layer is predicted by modifying a formula for bed load on beaches with input from the hydrodynamic model. The damage progression model is compared with three tests that lasted up to 28.5 h. The model predicts the eroded area of the damaged armor layer well but overpredicts the deposited area because it does not account for discrete stone units deposited at a distance seaward of the toe of the damaged armor layer.

Prespawn mortality in adult spring Chinook salmon outplanted above barrier dams. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2010: 19: 361–372. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Dams without fish passage facilities block access to much of the historic spawning habitat of spring Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Oregon’s Willamette River basin. Adult salmon are routinely outplanted above the dams to supplement natural production, but many die before spawning despite extensive suitable habitat. In 2004–2007, we examined prespawn mortality patterns using live detection and carcass recovery data for 242 radio-tagged outplants. Total prespawn mortality was 48%, but variability was high, ranging from 0% to 93% for individual release groups. Prespawn mortality was strongly condition dependent, consistently higher for females than males and higher for early release groups. Across years, warm water temperature in the migration corridor and at the collection site was associated with sharply higher mortality. Results highlight a need for better evaluations of the effects of adult mortality on population reintroduction and recovery and relationships among prespawn mortality, dam-related temperature change and salmon life history and behaviour.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 45 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4871 EP - 4876 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - Trimodal aluminum (Al) metal–matrix-composites (MMCs), consisting of B4C particulates, a nanocrystalline Al (NC-Al) phase, and a coarse-grain Al phase (CG-Al), has been fabricated. These MMCs exhibits extremely high compressive strength and tailorable ductility. Excellent thermal stability of NC-Al grains and high strength has been attributed partially to the nitrogen present within the trimodal Al MMCs, which is introduced during the cryomilling process in liquid nitrogen. This paper describes an investigation into the concentration and constituents of nitrogen within the trimodal Al MMCs. The structure of nitrogen-containing dispersoids was examined by analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was employed to determine the total concentration of nitrogen. The nitrogen concentration increased linearly with an increase in cryomilling time up to 24 h. Both crystalline and amorphous aluminum nitrides with very fine size, down to 5 nm, as dispersoids, have been observed by analytical TEM. Correlations between the cryomilling time, nitrogen concentration, NC-Al grain size, and composite hardness are presented and discussed. The presence of nitrogen as nitride-dispersoids can contribute to the outstanding mechanical properties of trimodal Al MMCs by inhibiting NC-Al grain growth during the high temperature consolidation and deformation process, and by dispersion-strengthening.

Psychological fitness is defined as the integration and optimization of mental, emotional, and behavioral abilities and capacities to optimize performance and strengthen the resilience of warfighters. The present article proposes a military demand-resource (MDR) model as a comprehensive and integrated model of psychological fitness for the total force. The model emphasizes the importance of identifying military-driven and evidence-informed variables, and selecting operational outcome measures for resilience and performance. The model integrates the roles of internal (personal) and external (environmental) resources specifically for developing, sustaining, and restoring psychological resources, similar to the maintenance of physical fitness and health. Equal attention to the psychological component is critical for achieving the mind-body balance as desired in a total force fitness framework for military forces today.

JO - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism JF - International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism Y1 - 2010/08// VL - 20 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 282 EP - 290 SN - 1526484X AB - This study examined alterations in skeletal-muscle growth and atrophy-related molecular events after a single bout of moderate-intensity endurance exercise. Muscle biopsies were obtained from 10 men (23 ± 1 yr, body mass 80 ± 2 kg, and VO2peak 45 ± 1 ml · kg-1 · min-1) immediately (0 hr) and 3 hr after a 60-min bout of cycle exercise (60% ± 5% VO2peak). Corresponding muscle biopsies were also obtained under resting conditions. The phosphorylation status of insulin/IGF-PI3K molecular-signaling proteins, ubiquitin-proteasome-related gene expression, FOXO transcription factors, and myogenic regulatory factors in muscle samples was analyzed using multiplex analysis, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A condition-time interaction was observed for Akt phosphorylation (p < .05) with multiplexing. Regardless of endurance exercise, Akt phosphorylation decreased and ERK phosphorylation increased at 3 hr compared with 0 hr (p < .05). Levels of p70S6K phosphorylation were 110% greater (p < .05) at 3 hr than at 0 hr using Western blots. MuRF mRNA expression postexercise increased; levels were 4.7- and 5.7-fold greater (p < .05) at 0 hr and 3 hr, respectively, than at rest with qRT-PCR. Atrogin mRNA expression was up-regulated 3.2-fold 3 hr postexercise compared with rest. These findings demonstrate modest changes in the molecular responses to moderate endurance exercise in the absence of nutrition. This study provides the groundwork for future investigations designed to optimize the metabolic conditions necessary to positively influence the cellular mechanisms specific to skeletal-muscle protein turnover during recovery from endurance exercise.

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2010/08// VL - 11 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 979 EP - 994 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - Numerous studies have attempted to address the land–precipitation coupling, but scientists’ understanding remains limited and discrepancies still exist from different studies. A new parameter Γ is proposed here to estimate the land–precipitation coupling strength based on the ratio of the covariance between monthly or seasonal precipitation and evaporation anomalies (from their climatological means) over the variance of precipitation anomalies. The Γ value is easy to compute and insensitive to the horizontal scales used; however, it does not provide causality. A relatively high Γ is a necessary—but not sufficient—condition for a relatively strong land–precipitation coupling. A computation of Γ values using two global reanalyses (ECMWF and NCEP), one regional reanalysis [North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)], and observed precipitation along with Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC)-derived evaporation data indicates that the land–precipitation coupling is stronger in summer and weaker in winter. The strongest coupling (i.e., hot spots) occurs over the western and central parts of North America, part of the Eurasia midlatitude, and Sahel in boreal summer and over most of Australia, Argentina, and South Africa in austral summer. The Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3) shows much higher Γ values, consistent with the strong coupling shown by its atmosphere–land coupled components in previous studies. Its overall spatial pattern of Γ values is not affected much over most regions by the doubling of CO2 in CCSM3. The Γ values from the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) are more realistic than those from CCSM3; however, they are still higher than those from observations over North America.

The cholinesterase inhibitor soman belongs to the class of OP nerve agents and can cause status epilepticus (SE) and brain damage due to neuroexcitotoxicity. In the present study, electroencephalographic seizures are characterized through telemetry implants in rats exposed to soman, followed by treatment with therapeutics similar to those administered after nerve agent exposure. Cortical electroencephalography (EEG), motor activity and body temperature were recorded continuously for 2 days preexposure and 15 days postexposure to verify the occurrence of spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS) after soman exposure. Behavioral seizures were monitored and the latency to SE was 7.8 ± 4.0 min after exposure. Among the rats that showed SE, approximately 90% had prolonged seizures within the initial 3 days after soman exposure. Five percent of the rats developed stage 1 seizures, 16% stage 2, 23% stage 3, 18% stage 4, and 38% stage 5. Seventy-nine percent of the rats presented SE and epileptiform-like discharges several days after SE, and 28.9% of those with SE experienced electrographic SRS. The latency to the appearance of SRS ranged from 5–10 days. Fiber degeneration evaluated through silver staining revealed damage in cortical and subcortical areas directly correlated with SE. The presence of SRS after seizures induced by soman highlights the importance of quantifying SRS in studies where the objective is to find new therapeutics against soman-induced seizures.

Using data from 568 cases and 698 controls enrolled in the US Servicemen’s Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine Determinants Study, we examined associations between TGCT and POPs, including p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, chlordane-related compounds and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), modified by polymorphisms in five hormone-metabolizing genes ( CYP17A1, CYP1A1, HSD17B1, HSD17B4 and AR). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using logistic regression models that stratified associations of POP exposure and TGCT risk by genotype. Two polymorphisms in CYP1A1, rs1456432 and rs7495708, modified the association between trans-nonachlor and total chlordanes and TGCT risk. Among men with a minor allele for rs1456432, those with the highest quartiles had an increased risk of TGCT (OR = 1.90, 95% CI, 1.01–3.56) compared with those with the lowest; there was no increased risk among men with the homozygous major allele genotype ( p-interactions = 0.024). Similar results were seen for rs7495708. HSD17B4 rs384346 modified the associations between TGCT risk and PCB-118 and PCB-138 concentrations: the 45–55% reductions in TGCT risk for men with the highest quartiles compared with the lowest quartiles were only present in those who had a major homozygous allele genotype ( p-interactions < 0.04). Thus, there are suggestions that certain CYP1A1 and HSD17B4 polymorphisms may modify the associations between POPs and TGCT risk. With false discovery rate values >0.2, however, caution is advisable when interpreting the findings of this study.

Ecotypes may arise following allopatric separation from source populations. The simultaneous transfer of an exotic plant to a novel environment, along with its stenophagous herbivore, may complicate more traditional patterns of divergence from the plant and insect source populations. 2. The present study evaluated herbivory effects by two Cyrtobagous salviniae ecotypes on two species of Salvinia: the larger S. molesta and the smaller S. minima. Evaluations were based on relative growth rates, biomass production, coverage, and nutrient cycling in a series of complementary and comparative laboratory and outdoor tank experiments. 3. In general, the experiment results indicated that the smaller Florida ecotype of C. salviniae impacted both Salvinia species more than the larger Brazil ecotype. Herbivory, especially by the Florida ecotype, also improved water quality and accelerated nutrient cycling by increasing the rates of litterfall from the standing crops of salvinia. 4. The smaller size of the Florida ecotype may be adaptive by allowing maximal exploitation of host plants via internal larval feeding, which presumably reduces predation risk while increasing damage to the plant. These findings provide support for relying on the suppressive effects of the Florida ecotype in Florida, rather than introducing the Brazil ecotype to counter new infestations of S. molesta.

Clinically, benzodiazepines are reported to lose anticonvulsant effectiveness the greater the delay between seizure onset and benzodiazepine treatment. This time-dependent diminished effectiveness of diazepam was tested in the present study. Seizures elicited by the nerve agent, soman, were produced in guinea pigs instrumented to record brain electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity. Different groups of animals were administered 10 mg/kg, intramuscularly, of diazepam at 5, 40, 60, 80, or 160 minutes after the onset of seizure activity. There was a progressive loss in the anticonvulsant efficacy of diazepam as the treatment was delayed after seizure onset, but no differences in the time for diazepam to stop seizures. The results show a diminished ability of diazepam to stop nerve-agent–induced seizures the longer treatment is delayed.

The 2005 Medicare prosthetic device component prices were applied to current prosthetic and assistive-device use obtained from a national survey of 581 veterans and servicemembers with major traumatic amputations. Projections were made for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and lifetime costs based on eight Markov models. Average 5-year projected costs for prosthetic and assistive-device replacement for the Vietnam group are lower than for the OIF/OEF cohort due in part to use of fewer and less technologically advanced prosthetic devices and higher frequency of prosthetic abandonment. By limb-loss level, for the Vietnam group and OIF/OEF cohort, 5-year projected unilateral upper limb average costs are $31,129 and $117,440, unilateral lower limb costs are $82,251 and $228,665, and multiple limb costs are $130,890 and $453,696, respectively. These figures provide the VA with a funding estimate for technologically advanced prosthetic and assistive devices within the framework of ongoing rehabilitation for veterans with traumatic limb loss from the Vietnam and OIF/OEF conflicts.

The goal for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) servicemembers is to restore function to the greatest possible degree and, if they desire, return them to Active Duty, by providing them with extensive rehabilitation services and a variety of prosthetic devices. Our study determines the usefulness of these diverse types of prosthetic devices for restoring functional capability and documents prosthesis use and satisfaction. We compare servicemembers and veterans with major combat-associated unilateral lower-limb loss: 178 from the Vietnam war and 172 from OIF/OEF conflicts. Of survey participants with unilateral lower-limb loss, 84% of the Vietnam group and 94% of the OIF/OEF group currently use at least one prosthetic device. Reasons for rejection varied by type of device, but common reasons were pain, prosthesis too heavy, and poor fit. Abandonment is infrequent (11% Vietnam group, 4% OIF/OEF group). Future efforts should aim to improve prosthetic-device design, decrease pain, and improve quality of life for these veterans and servicemembers.

Through a national survey, we enrolled 47 participants from the Vietnam conflict and 50 from Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with combat-associated major unilateral upper-limb loss. Upper-limb prosthetic devices were used by 70% of the Vietnam group and 76% of the OIF/OEF group. Mechanical/body-powered upper-limb devices were favored by the Vietnam group, while a combination of myoelectric/hybrid and mechanical/ body-powered devices were favored by the OIF/OEF group. Upper-limb devices were completely abandoned in 30% of the Vietnam and 22% of the OIF/OEF groups. Abandonment was more frequent for transhumeral and more proximal levels (42% of Vietnam and 40% of OIF/OEF) than more distal limb-loss levels. Upper-limb prostheses were rejected because of dissatisfaction with the device by significantly fewer (23%) members of the Vietnam group than the OIF/OEF group (45%) (p < 0.001). Most common reasons for rejection included pain, poor comfort, and lack of functionality. A significant paradigm shift has been noted in the OIF/OEF group, who use a greater number and diversity of upper-limb prostheses than the Vietnam group.

This study provides a procedure to include air emissions resulting from the combustion of diesel fuel during dredging operations into the dredging equipment selection decision-making process. The proposed procedure includes a limited life cycle assessment and is demonstrated for typical dredging methods and data from the Illinois Waterway as performed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, Ill. It was found that commonly used rules of thumb in the dredging industry hold true by indicating that mechanical bucket dredges are better suited for long transport distances and have lower air emissions and cost per cubic meter (m3) for smaller quantities of dredged material. In addition, the results show that a cutterhead pipeline dredge would be preferable for moderate and large volumes of dredged material when no additional booster pumps are required. Finally, the results indicate that production rates can be a significant factor when evaluating the air emissions from comparable dredging equipment.

We hypothesized that the latter factor may reflect a stable trait that endures across situations and may influence risk-taking behavior. We developed and validated a 20-item scale, the Invincibility Belief Index (IBI) to measure this construct. The IBI demonstrated good internal consistency and excellent test-retest reliability in the development sample (n = 100) and sustained similar levels of reliability in a cross-validation sample (n = 74). Principal components analysis yielded three orthogonal factors measuring self-perceived impunity (immunity from consequences), boldness/audacity (self-assuredness and competitiveness), and adroitness (mental agility and survival skill). In the prediction of risk taking. IBI scores contributed additional unique variance beyond sensation-seeking scores alone. IBI scores demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity with concurrently administered measures. These preliminary results support the reliability and validity of the IBI as a brief measure of self-perceived vulnerability-invincibility in the face of adversity.

As no validated test exists to diagnose or grade neurocognitive impairment from a concussion, the military currently employs the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation (MACE) in Iraq. This is a two-part test, which incorporates the standardized assessment of concussion (SAC) as its objective score, although it has not been shown to be valid unless administered shortly after injury. A research team deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to examine the validity of several tests of neurocognitive function following a concussion, including the MACE. When administered more than 12 hours after the concussive injury, the MACE lacked sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be clinically useful.

Methods: A descriptive analysis was undertaken to evaluate for DNBI casualty care statistics incurred by a U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team (BCT) during a counterinsurgency campaign of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Results: Of the 4,122 soldiers deployed, there were 1,324 DNBI with 5 (0.38%) deaths, 208 (15.7%) medical evacuations (MEDEVAC), and 1,111 (83.9%) returned to duty. The DNBI casualty rate for the BCT was 257.0/1.000 soldier combat-years. Females, compared with males, had a significantly increased incidence rate ratio for becoming a DNBI casualty 1.67 (95% CI 1.37, 2.04). Of 47 female soldiers receiving MEDEVAC 35 (74%) were for pregnancy-related issues. Musculoskeletal injuries (50.4%) and psychiatric disorders (23.3%) were the most common body systems involved with DNBI casualties. Among the BCT cohort the psychiatric DNBI casualty rate and suicide rate were 59.8 and 0.58 per 1,000 soldier combat-years. The BCT cohort incidence rates for common musculoskeletal injuries per 1,000 combat-years were as follows: ankle sprain 15.3, anterior cruciate ligament rupture 3.3 and shoulder dislocation 1.2. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal injuries and psychiatric disorders accounted for 74% of the total DNBI casualties, and 43% of the DNBI casualties requiring subsequent MEDEVAC. The BCT cohort had a suicide rate nearly four times greater than previously reported, and selected musculoskeletal injury incidence rates were fivefold greater than the general population.

Despite the extended amount of time some bats spend in hibernation, researchers have only recently been able to study the hibernation ecology of bats under natural conditions. With the emergence of white-nose syndrome (WNS), a mysterious disease presently killing large numbers of bats during the hibernation period in the northeastern United States, expanding our knowledge of hibernation ecology and natural history has become more crucial. To collect such data, we used temperature-sensitive radio transmitters and data loggers to monitor the skin temperatures (Tsk) of 6 bats (5 Myotis lucifugus [Little Brown Bat], and 1 Myotis septentrionalis [Northern Long-eared Bat]) hibernating in Mount Aeolus Cave, VT in late winter 2008. We recorded Tsk every 14 minutes for the life of the transmitters. We were able to monitor Tsk from near ambient temperatures to above 30 °C. Arousals occurred immediately before the signals were lost and at a time of increased numbers of bats observed on the landscape, thereby suggesting the emergence (and subsequent death) of bats. Our observations provide first data on the hibernating ecology of WNS-affected bats under natural conditions.

A specific example discussed in greater detail is Russia's partially successful effort to deter nuclear proliferation in Ukraine in 1993. The economic cost of sanctions is discussed as a key factor, and sanctions imposed by friendly states are seen as more effective than those imposed by hostile states.

In this study we quantified immature mosquito abundance and its relationship with structural variables of the septic tanks and chemical properties of the water containing raw sewage. A miniaturized floating funnel trap was used to sample 89 septic tanks for larvae in the Puerto Rican community of Playa-Playita. Aedes aegypti larvae were recovered from 18% of the sampled tanks (10.3 larvae per septic tank per day). Larval presence was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls and uncovered access ports. Larval abundance was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls and larger tank surface areas, and inversely associated with the total dissolved solids (TDS). Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) larvae were also recovered from 74% of the septic tanks (129.6 larvae per septic tank per day). Larval presence was negatively associated with TDS in the water and larval abundance was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls. A screened, plastic emergence trap was used to sample 93 septic tanks within the community for Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus adults. Aedes aegypti adults were recovered from 49% of the sampled tanks (8.7 adults per septic tank per day) and Cx. quinquefasciatus adults were recovered from 97% of the sampled tanks (155.5 adults per septic tank per day). Aedes aegypti adult presence was positively associated with cracking, uncapped openings and septic water pH. The Ae. aegypti adult counts were positively associated with cracking and inversely associated with TDS and conductivity. This study marks the first published record of the recovery of Ae. aegypti larvae from holding tanks containing raw sewage in the Caribbean region. Our study indicates that Ae. aegypti larvae are present in sewage water and that septic tanks have at least the potential to maintain dengue transmission during the dry season.

Ten young men performed upright cycle exercise at 20, 40, and 60% of maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max in both conditions while metabolic and cardiovascular parameters were determined. Pre-exercise VO2 was not different between CON and BFR. Cardiac output (Q) was similar between the two conditions as a 25% reduction in stroke volume (SV) observed in BFR was associated with a 23% higher heart rate (HR) in BFR compared to CON. As a result rate-pressure product (RPP) was higher in the BFR but there was no difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) or total peripheral resistance (TPR). During exercise, VO2 tended to increase with BFR (∼10%) at each workload. Q increased in proportion to exercise intensity and there were no differences between conditions. The increase in SV with exercise was impaired during BFR; being ∼20% lower in BFR at each workload. Both HR and RPP were significantly greater at each workload with BFR. MAP and TPR were greater with BFR at 40 and 60% VO2max. In conclusion, the BFR employed impairs exercise SV but central cardiovascular function is maintained by an increased HR. BFR appears to result in a greater energy demand during continuous exercise between 20 and 60% of control VO2max; probably indicated by a higher energy supply and RPP. When incorporating BFR, HR and RPP may not be valid or reliable indicators of exercise intensity.

Seventy-three combat arms soldiers were measured pre- and postdeployment. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Strength was measured by single repetition maximum (1-RM) lifts on bench press and squat. Power was assessed by a bench throw and squat jump. Aerobic endurance was evaluated with a timed 2-mile run. Exercise and injury history were assessed by questionnaire. Upper and lower body strength improved by 7% and 8%, respectively (p < 0.001 ). Upper body power increased 9% (p < 0.001) and lean mass increased 3% (p < 0.05). In contrast, aerobic performance declined 13% (p < 0.001) and fat mass increased 9% (p < 0.05). Fewer soldiers participated in aerobic exercise or sports during deployment (p < 0.001 ). Unit commanders should be aware of potential fitness and body composition changes during deployment and develop physical training programs to enhance fitness following deployment.

Attempts to infill the pores by converting reactive phases such as calcium hydroxide into calcium carbonate have been partly successful, but the success of this approach has been limited by the amount of Ca(OH)2 produced in the hydration of the concrete and by the positions of the new crystalline phases that are formed. These limitations can be overcome by using a combination of electrophoresis to move particles into concrete pores and the use of ion transport to move new dissolved reactants into the concrete mass. Bench scale experiments have demonstrated that significant density and strength increases can be obtained by electrophoretically moving seed crystals of selected mineral phases such as calcite, aragonite, or vaterite into the larger pores in concrete and then using a low-voltage DC current to migrate in calcium and carbonate ions to grow the selected crystalline phases in masses sufficient to fill up both large and small pores. This can be done in such a way as to leave even the reactive phases such as Ca(OH)2 unaltered. The bulk pH of the concrete is not reduced in the mineralization process as it would be in simple carbonation. Pore in-filling using electrophoretic and electro-transport systems can potentially be of use in creating very high-density concrete for concrete pipes, and panels with lower porosity than can be obtained using carbonation or pressure infiltration.

The primary challenges of over-actuated systems result from the physical constraints imposed when the number of exciters exceeds the number of mechanical degree-of-freedom. This issue is less critical for electro-dynamic exciters which tend to be more compliant than servo-hydraulic exciters. To facilitate the technical challenges discussion, generalized methods for determining the drive output commands and the actuator input transform is presented. To further provide insights into the problem, over-actuated 1-DOF and 6-DOF examples are provided. Results are presented to support the discussions.

An important part of this policy calculus is based on the current laws to deny military and law enforcement training to known foreign human rights violators, collectively known as the “Leahy Laws.” However, the text of the Leahy Laws considers neither the natural changes in the make-up of military units nor the important reforms the Indonesian armed forces have made in its own training and advocacy of human rights practices. A closer look at how the law is applied reviles that U.S.-Indonesia policy in general—and military-to-military relations in particular—are unnecessarily damaged by the Leahy Laws and details the consequences of good intentions gone awry.

The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium within the ecosystem. Best management practices mitigate the increased storm water runoff due to increased imperviousness and are typically designed and located within a watershed to match peak and minimum flows for a small set of targeted design storms. Ecosystems are, however, affected by all the characteristics of a long-term flow regime, including the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows. A more environmentally sustainable approach for watershed development is presented based on the minimization of differences in the characteristics of the flow regime between predevelopment and postdevelopment conditions. The indicator of hydrologic alteration (IHA) is a set of 33 hydrologic indices that characterize a flow regime and, coupled with the range of variability approach (RVA), can be used to evaluate a development strategy for its alteration of the long-term hydrologic flow regime. This paper presents a methodology to identify watershed management strategies that will have a minimal impact on the flow regime and downstream ecosystems. This methodology utilizes a metric that evaluates development strategies based on an IHA/RVA analysis implemented within a simulation-optimization framework. Continuous simulation of urban runoff for different land use strategies is enabled through the use of the storm water management model, and the resulting long-term hydrograph is analyzed using IHA/RVA. Development is allocated within subcatchments to maintain a predefined minimum level of total development while minimizing the hydrologic alteration. A hybrid optimization approach based on genetic algorithm and Nelder-Meade approaches is used to identify optimal land use allocation. Further analysis is conducted to identify alternative development patterns that allocate impervious development maximally differently among subcatchments while achieving similarly low alteration in the hydrologic flow regime.

The new model makes use of the affine network-based molecular theory of rubber elasticity. The uniaxial stress-strain relation of the Twaron®/NR composite is experimentally determined at two constant strain rates of 0.00001 s- 1 and 0.01 s- 1. The values of the parameters involved in the three viscoelasticity models are extracted from the experimental data. It is found that both the Burgers model and the five-parameter model significantly under-predict the stresses for large strain values at both the strain rates. In contrast, the constitutive response at each strain rate predicted by the newly developed para-rheological model is seen to be in good agreement with the measured stress-strain curve over the entire strain range studied. It is shown that the new model also predicts the elastic moduli and ultimate stresses of the Twaron®/NR composite well.

Through a national survey, we enrolled 47 participants from the Vietnam conflict and 50 from Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with combat-associated major unilateral upper-limb loss. Upper-limb prosthetic devices were used by 70% of the Vietnam group and 76% of the OIF/OEF group. Mechanical/body-powered upper-limb devices were favored by the Vietnam group, while a combination of myoelectric/hybrid and mechanical/body-powered devices were favored by the OIF/OEF group. Upper-limb devices were completely abandoned in 30% of the Vietnam and 22% of the OIF/OEF groups. Abandonment was more frequent for transhumeral and more proximal levels (42% of Vietnam and 40% of OIF/OEF) than more distal limb-loss levels. Upper-limb prostheses were rejected because of dissatisfaction with the device by significantly fewer (23%) members of the Vietnam group than the OIF/OEF group (45%) (p < 0.001). Most common reasons for rejection included pain, poor comfort, and lack of functionality. A significant paradigm shift has been noted in the OIF/OEF group, who use a greater number and diversity of upper-limb prostheses than the Vietnam group.

The goal for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) service-members is to restore function to the greatest possible degree and, if they desire, return them to Active Duty, by providing them with extensive rehabilitation services and a variety of prosthetic devices. Our study determines the usefulness of these diverse types of prosthetic devices for restoring functional capability and documents prosthesis use and satisfaction. We compare service-members and veterans with major combat-associated unilateral lower-limb loss: 178 from the Vietnam war and 172 from OIF/OEF conflicts. Of survey participants with unilateral lower-limb loss, 84% of the Vietnam group and 94% of the OIF/OEF group currently use at least one prosthetic device. Reasons for rejection varied by type of device, but common reasons were pain, prosthesis too heavy, and poor fit. Abandonment is infrequent (11% Vietnam group, 4% OIF/OEF group). Future efforts should aim to improve prosthetic-device design, decrease pain, and improve quality of life for these veterans and service-members.

The 2005 Medicare prosthetic device component prices were applied to current prosthetic and assistive-device use obtained from a national survey of 581 veterans and service-members with major traumatic amputations. Projections were made for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and lifetime costs based on eight Markov models. Average 5-year projected costs for prosthetic and assistive-device replacement for the Vietnam group are lower than for the OIF/OEF cohort due in part to use of fewer and less technologically advanced prosthetic devices and higher frequency of prosthetic abandonment. By limb-loss level, for the Vietnam group and OIF/OEF cohort, 5-year projected unilateral upper limb average costs are $31,129 and $117,440, unilateral lower limb costs are $82,251 and $228,665, and multiple limb costs are $130,890 and $453,696, respectively. These figures provide the VA with a funding estimate for technologically advanced prosthetic and assistive devices within the framework of ongoing rehabilitation for veterans with traumatic limb loss from the Vietnam and OIF/OEF conflicts.

This paper discusses runoff and sediment transport from compost mulch berms on a simulated military training landscape. The berms were constructed using mixtures of municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and sub-soil (SL) in eight different proportions at Hazel Green, North Alabama, in Fall 2006. Berms made from 100% soil, which had over 140 000 L ha-1 of runoff and 13.3 kg ha-1 of sediment transport over the study period, had the greatest risk of causing off-site negative environmental effects. Berms made from 100% PB and 100% WC or combinations of compost materials without soil had the lowest risk of causing environmental pollution from runoff and sediment transport. Compared to soil, compost mulches can significantly reduce negative environmental effects to downstream ecosystems when used for berm construction on military training ranges. However, measures to minimize transport of C and N in runoff sediment, such as planting grass cover crops, need to be evaluated to make the technology more environmentally sustainable.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2010/05// VL - 175 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 336 EP - 339 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objective: To determine the epidemiology of lateral and medial epicondylitis in the U.S. military. Methods: The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database was queried for ICD-9 codes 726.32 (lateral epicondylitis) and 726.33 (medial epicondylitis) for the years 1998-2006. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rates (IR) and rate ratios (RR) among demographic groups. Results: The IRs for lateral and medial epicondylitis were 2.98 and 0.81 per 1,000 person-years. For lateral epicondylitis, women had a higher incidence (RR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.19-1.26). In both groups, analysis by age showed higher incidence in the ≥40-year-old group. White compared with black race was a risk factor for both lateral (RR = 1.68, 95% CI, 1.63-1.74) and medial epicondylitis (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.17). Conclusions: Female gender was a risk factor for lateral but not medial epicondylitis. Age greater than 40 and white race were significant risk factors for both conditions.

Methods: Retrospective review using U.S. Military Health System's Theater Medical Data Store and Joint Medical Workstation identified patients evaluated for syncope from January 2005 to October 2007 while deployed to a combat zone. Results: We identified 848 patients with syncope. The majority (80.8%) were under the age of 40. The diagnostic yield of the ECG was 2.0%. In those <40 years, there were no head CTs or transthoracic echocardiograms that identified a cause of syncope. There was no difference in evacuation out of theater between those <40 years and those >40 years (10.8% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.08). Patients with a prior episode of syncope were more likely to undergo medical evacuation outside of the combat zone (16.0% vs. 7.7%, p < 0.01). Discussion: Evacuation of those <40 years to facilities with advanced imaging did not add diagnostic information.

The previous war-time mission of PTs was limited to level III medical care. Recently PTs began providing care at levels I/II with brigade combat teams (BCTs). Purpose: Determine the sentiment of battlefield providers at levels I/II regarding the operational impact of PTs. Methods: Surveys were provided to BCT medical providers. Results: There were 107 responses (response rate of 51%). According to the responses, PTs made a significant impact on overall mission accomplishment (97%) and patient prognosis (83%) and were considered local experts in musculoskeletal pathology (92%), including the ordering of radiographs (79%). Their presence was thought to significantly decrease medical evaluations within theater (68%) and out of theater (73%). Conclusion: There was a positive sentiment toward PTs in the BCT, suggesting they are highly valued. Future studies need to clarify further operational, medical, and fiscal implications.

The lamp has a maximum power density of 3500 W/cm2, a processing area of 2 cm × 10 cm, a broad-spectrum energy distribution between 0.2 and 1.4 μm, and was controlled to unidirectionally sweep across 50 mm2 tiles at a constant speed of 8 mm/s. Ring-on-ring (RoR) equibiaxial flexure and four-point unidirectional flexure testings of entire tiles were used to measure and compare uncensored and unimodal Weibull failure stress distributions of treated and untreated glass. Even under nonoptimized processing conditions, the RoR Weibull characteristic failure stress increased by approximately 25% and the four-point-bend Weibull characteristic failure stress increased by approximately 65%. Additionally, the failure stresses of the weakest samples of the heat-treated glass were significantly higher than those of the untreated glass. Strengthening was due to a fire-polishing-like mechanism. The arc-lamp heat treatment caused the location of the strength-limiting flaws in the four-point-bend tiles to change; namely, failure initiation occurred on the gauge section surface for the treated glass, whereas it occurred at a gauge section edge for the untreated glass. Arc-lamp heat treatment is attractive not only because it provides strengthening, but because it can (noncontact) process large amounts of glass quickly and inexpensively, and is a process that either a glass manufacturer or an end-user can readily use.

In the mid-1940s, Poland's new communist leadership proceeded to expel and deport millions of Germans, Lithuanians, Belarusians and Ukrainians from their native territories. A decade later, the communist government adopted a policy that aimed at the reduction of discrimination and the creation of equal social and economic opportunities for the country's residual minority populations. This article explores the background of the wavering communist nationalities policies by focusing on Poland's Ukrainians. It demonstrates how the seemingly contradictory policies of ethnic cleansing and affirmative action were prompted by the same underlying political motivations.

We used GPS collars to document the movements of 10 female deer during the breeding season at two Mid-Atlantic study sites that support high-density herds with nearly equal sex ratios. We calculated 95% and 50% seasonal and weekly kernel home ranges and the daily percentage of points located outside of the seasonal home range (SHR). Peaks in weekly home range size and in the percentage of points located outside of the SHR occurred between 7 Nov. and 9 Dec. (x̄ = 22 Nov.) for eight deer. Past data from one of the study sites have indicated that most breeding activity occurs from 5-25 Nov. Peaks in the percentage of points outside of the SHR corresponded to brief (x̄ = 24.0 h, sd = 18.2 h; range 8-68 h) excursions. On peak days, 46-100% (x̄ = 68.3%, sd = 17.1%) of data points were located outside of the SHR. No other excursions were observed during the 17 wk study period. Our results suggest that female deer may travel outside of their home range during the breeding season even when presented with an abundance of potential mates; these data suggest females are engaging in a discrete form of mate selection.

Two experiments examined people's ability to detect gradual changes in icon position on a situation awareness map. People observed sequences of icon moves that consisted of ten .9-mm colinear moves or five 8.75-mm colinear moves and reported when they noticed a change. The relatively small moves were less likely to be detected than the relatively large moves; however, an entire sequence of the .9 mm moves was rarely missed. Green icon moves were significantly less likely to be detected than blue or yellow icon moves. This may have been due to the stimulus features of the icons or those features in interaction with the map background. Various methods that might assist icon change detection are discussed.

One assumption is that the majority of soldiers play videogames regularly; however, research by Orvis, Horn, and Belanich (2009) found that only approximately 40% of U.S. Military Academy cadets reported moderate to heavy game-play. Given that cadets may be a special population, this research examines the frequency of videogame usage across the U.S. Army. Results indicate that fewer than 43% of over 10,000 soldiers surveyed play videogames at least weekly. Junior enlisted soldiers report the highest frequency (51-59%), whereas senior enlisted/officer ranks play much less (11-37%). Implications for utilizing serious videogames for military training are discussed.

The few extant studies showed that in-theater and shortly after returning from deployment, reserve and active duty personnel had similar rates of PTSD and related symptoms. Sometime after deployment, reserve personnel reported higher rates of PTSD and related symptoms than active duty personnel. A work stress model is used to develop several possible explanations of findings, having implications for practices to reduce stress symptoms among reservists and for improving research and theory of future studies examining PTSD and related symptoms among reservists.

Current mood states were a significant predictor of psychological adjustment beyond the trait of resilience and aspects of cognitive appraisal. Positive affect did relate to better psychological adjustment even under traumatic stress conditions.

Elastic scattering patterns of polystyrene spheres, Bacillus subtilis spores and cells, and NaCl crystals are measured and statistical properties of the island-like intensity features in their patterns are presented. The island-like features for each class of particle are found to be similar; however, principal-component analysis applied to extracted features is able to differentiate between some of the particle classes. Numerically calculated scattering patterns of Chebyshev particles and aggregates of spheres are analyzed and show qualitative agreement with experimental results.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 175 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 227 EP - 237 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - A total of 675,626 active duty Army soldiers who were known to be at risk for deployment to the Persian Gulf were followed from 1980 through the Persian Gulf War. Hospitalization histories for the entire cohort and Health Risk Appraisal surveys for a subset of 374 soldiers were used to evaluate prewar distress, health, and behaviors. Deployers were less likely to have had any prewar hospitalizations or hospitalization for a condition commonly reported among Gulf War veterans or to report experiences of depression/suicidal ideation. Deployers reported greater satisfaction with life and relationships but displayed greater tendencies toward risk taking, such as drunk driving, speeding, and failure to wear safety belts. Deployed veterans were more likely to receive hazardous duty pay and to be hospitalized for an injury than nondeployed Gulf War-era veterans. If distress is a predictor of postwar morbidity, it is likely attributable to experiences occurring during or after the war and not related to prewar exposures or health status. Postwar excess injury risk may be explained in part by a propensity for greater risk taking, which was evident before and persisted throughout the war.

T1 - The effect of food consumption on lumefantrine bioavailability in African children receiving artemether–lumefantrine crushed or dispersible tablets (Coartem®) for acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. JO - Tropical Medicine & International Health JF - Tropical Medicine & International Health Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 15 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 434 EP - 441 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 13602276 AB - Objectives Artemether–lumefantrine (AL) is first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in many African countries. Concomitant food consumption may affect absorption of lumefantrine but data in the most important target population, i.e. children, are lacking. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of food intake on oral lumefantrine bioavailability in African children with malaria. Methods In a randomised, investigator-blinded, multicentre phase III efficacy trial, 899 infants and children with acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria received six doses of AL according to body weight over 3 days either as crushed tablets (Coartem®) or as dispersible tablets. Single blood samples were obtained for lumefantrine plasma concentration determination in a subset of 621 patients, and a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model was constructed. Results The mean observed lumefantrine plasma concentration for crushed tablet and dispersible tablet, respectively, was 100% and 55% higher with a concomitant meal at the time of dose intake than when taken alone. Similarly, consumption of milk (the most common meal) increased model-estimated lumefantrine bioavailability by 57% (90% CI: 29–96%) with crushed tablets and 65% (90% CI: 28–109%) with dispersible tablets compared to no food. The 28-day PCR-corrected cure rate (primary study endpoint) in the evaluable population was 582/587 [99.1% (95% CI: 98.0–99.7%)] and was not related to food intake. Conclusions AL was highly efficacious. Concomitant food intake increased lumefantrine absorption in children with malaria. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Objetivos: La artemeter+lumefantrina (AL) es la primera línea de tratamiento para malaria no complicada en muchos países africanos. La consumición concomitante de comida puede afectar la absorción de la lumefantrina pero los datos en la población diana más importante, es decir, en niños, no existe. Por lo tanto, hemos evaluado el efecto de la toma de comidas sobre la biodisponibilidad de lumefantrina oral en niños africanos con malaria. Métodos: En un ensayo aleatorizado, cegado para el investigador, multicéntrico de fase 3, 899 bebés y niños con malaria aguda no complicada por Plasmodium falciparum recibieron seis dosis de AL según su peso corporal durante 3 días, bien como comprimidos triturados (Coartem®) o como comprimidos dispersables. Se obtuvieron dosis individuales de sangre para determinar la concentración de lumefantrina en sangre en un subgrupo de 621 pacientes y se construyó un modelo farmacocinético de dos compartimientos. Resultados: La concentración media observada de lumefantrina en sangre para los comprimidos triturados y los dispersables fué, respectivamente, de un 100% y un 55% más alto con una comida concomitante en el momento de tomar la dosis, que cuando se tomaba sola. De forma similar, la consumición de leche (la comida más común) aumentó la biodisponibilidad de lumefantrina según la estimación del modelo en un 57% (90% IC: 29% a 96%) con comprimidos triturados y del 65% (90% IC: 28% a 109%) con comprimidos dispersables comparado con el no haber tomado alimento alguno. La tasa de curación a día 28 corregida por PCR (resultado primario del estudio) en la población evaluada era 582/587 (99.1% (95% IC: 98.0-99.7%)) y no estaba relacionada con la toma de alimentos. Conclusiones: AL era altamente eficaz. La toma concomitante de comida aumentó la absorción de lumefantrina en niños con malaria.

La consommation concomitante d’aliments peu affecter l’absorption de la luméfantrine, mais des données sur la population cible la plus importante i.e. les enfants, font défaut. Par conséquent, nous avons évalué l’effet de la prise alimentaire sur la biodisponibilité orale de la luméfantrine chez des enfants africains atteints de malaria. Méthodes: Dans une étude d’efficacité randomisée, aveugle pour l’investigateur, multicentrique de phase III, 899 nourrissons et enfants atteints de malaria aigüe à Plasmodium falciparum non compliquée ont reçu six doses d’AL en fonction du poids du corps pendant 3 jours, soit en comprimés écrasés (Coartem®) ou sous forme de comprimés dispersibles. Des échantillons uniques de sang ont été prélevés pour la détermination de la concentration plasmatique de luméfantrine dans un sous-ensemble de 621 patients et un modèle pharmacocinétique bi compartimental a été construit. Résultats: Les concentrations plasmatiques moyennes de luméfantrine observées pour les comprimés écrasés et les comprimés dispersibles étaient de 100% et 55% respectivement plus élevée avec un repas concomitant au moment de la prise de la dose que lorsqu’ils étaient pris seuls. De même, la consommation de lait (le repas le plus commun) augmentait la biodisponibilité luméfantrine estimée par le model de 57% (IC90%: 29-96) avec les comprimés écrasés et 65% (IC90%: 28-109) avec les comprimés dispersibles, comparativement à l’absence de nourriture. Le taux de guérison au jour 28 corrigé par la PCR (critère d’évaluation primaire de l’étude) dans la population évaluable était de 582/587 (99,1% (IC95%: 98.0-99.7%)) et n’était pas liéà la prise alimentaire. Conclusions: AL était très efficace. La prise concomitante d’aliments augmente l’absorption de la luméfantrine chez les enfants atteints de malaria.

Methods: The history deployment exposure surveillance was reviewed and the rationale for developing validated biomarkers that were detected in sera in postdeployment samples and compared with nondeployed controls was described. The goal was to find validated biomarkers that are associated with both exposures and health outcomes. Results: The articles in this supplement described novel serum biomarkers that were found to be associated with deployment exposures and weakly associated with some health outcomes. Conclusions: Future research must continue to validate the use of serum biomarkers when operational contingencies prevent the gold standard collection of real-time breathing zone samples in deployed service members.

When small caliber ammunition is fired at testing and training ranges, these metals—some of which are toxic—are introduced into the environment. Research was conducted on the effects of bullet on bullet impacts and the resulting bullet fragmentation. The extent of bullet fragmentation, among other factors, affects the formation of mobile metal species from small arms firing ranges. Bullet on bullet impact can increase the surface area to mass ratio of the bullet metal alloys in the soil. The solubility of a metal is typically associated with the specific corrosion rate in the berm environment which is dependent on the surface area of the fragments. The purpose of the study was to analyze the bullet on bullet impact effects in six soil types. Changes in the metal distribution as a result of bullet impact was evaluated through sieve analysis and changes in the particle size distribution. The bullet on bullet impact observed in this study demonstrated a significant and observable shift in the fragmentation profiles for the lead, antimony, and copper in soils after shooting an average of 1050 tungsten-nylon bullets into the legacy lead soils. This study provides new information to assist with determining the potential environmental fate, transport, and environmental availability associated with constant bullet on bullet impact at testing and training ranges.

T1 - Late Ordovician volcanism in Korea constrains the timing for breakup of Sino-Korean Craton from Gondwana. JO - Journal of Asian Earth Sciences JF - Journal of Asian Earth Sciences Y1 - 2014/12/15/ VL - 96 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 286 SN - 13679120 AB - In the early Paleozoic the Sino-Korean Craton (SKC) and South China Craton (SCC) were situated along the margin of east Gondwana. The SKC was connected to core Gondwana by an epeiric sea which was the site for deposition of lower Paleozoic sequences of SKC. The SKC and SCC may have drifted away from core Gondwana sometime during the mid-Paleozoic and would have been outboard microcontinents in the late Paleozoic, until they collided to form the East Asian continent in the Triassic. The breakup of SCC from Gondwana was suggested to have taken place at ∼380 Ma, while no reliable suggestions have hitherto been made for breakup of SKC from Gondwana. This study presents a convincing evidence for breakup of SKC from Gondwana, based on the recognition of Late Ordovician volcanism in Korea. New SHRIMP U–Pb zircon ages, 445.0 ± 3.7 Ma and 452.5 ± 3.2 Ma, are obtained from trachytic rocks of the Ongnyeobong Formation of Taebaeksan Basin in Korea which occupied the marginal part of the SKC in the early Paleozoic. This Late Ordovician volcanism along with previous records of Ordovician volcanic activities along the western margin of the SKC is interpreted indicating the development of an incipient oceanic ridge. The oceanic ridge uplifted the SKC including the epeiric sea, which subsequently resulted in terminating the early Paleozoic sedimentation of the epeiric sea. The paucity of lower Paleozoic volcanic rocks across much of the SKC however suggests that the oceanic ridge did not extend into the epeiric sea. Instead, spreading of oceanic ridge entailed dextral movement of associated transform faults, which may have played a major role in breakup of SKC from mainland Gondwana by the end of Ordovician.

In this study, Fe 92 Ni 8 alloys with Zr and nano-Y 2 O 3 additions were produced by ball milling and then annealed at high temperatures. Emphasis was placed on understanding the effects of dispersed nano-Y 2 O 3 particle additions and their effect on microstructural stability at and above the bcc-to-fcc transformation occurring at 700 °C in Fe–Ni systems. Results reveal that microstructural stability and hardness can be promoted by a combination of Zr and Y 2 O 3 additions, that being mostly effective for stability before and after phase transition, respectively. The mechanical strength of these alloys is achieved by a unique microstructure comprised a ultra-fine grain Fe base matrix, which contains dispersions of both nano-scale in-situ formed Zr base intermetallics and ex-situ added Y 2 O 3 secondary oxide phases. Both of these were found to be essential for a combination of high thermal stability and high mechanical strength properties.

JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 47 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 813 EP - 822 SN - 07493797 AB - Context Approximately one quarter of men and half of women in U.S. Army basic combat training experience an injury. Preventing basic combat training–related injuries would reduce associated human and economic costs and discharges from the Army. Identification of risk factors for such injuries is a crucial step toward their prevention. Although some research has begun to address this need, prior studies of risk factors for training-related injury have not been reviewed systematically. This study systematically reviews the literature on risk factors for injury during U.S. Army basic combat training. Evidence acquisition Original studies of risk factors for injury during U.S. Army basic combat training published since 1990 in peer-reviewed journals were identified using PubMed and manual searches of reference lists. This search was last performed in May 2013. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Evidence synthesis Methodologic quality and potential for bias were assessed. The findings of 11 studies deemed to be of high or medium quality were synthesized to determine the level of evidence supporting the association between each risk factor studied and risk of injury during basic combat training. Quality assessment and evidence synthesis were performed from June to September 2013. Conclusions There is strong or moderate evidence supporting association of older age, history of smoking, and self-rated low physical activity level prior to basic combat training with increased risk of training-related injury among male trainees. There is limited, mixed, or insufficient evidence to identify risk factors for injury among female trainees.

JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 47 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 745 EP - 753 SN - 07493797 AB - Background Accidents are one of the leading causes of death among U.S. active-duty Army soldiers. Evidence-based approaches to injury prevention could be strengthened by adding person-level characteristics (e.g., demographics) to risk models tested on diverse soldier samples studied over time. Purpose To identify person-level risk indicators of accident deaths in Regular Army soldiers during a time frame of intense military operations, and to discriminate risk of not-line-of-duty from line-of-duty accident deaths. Methods Administrative data acquired from multiple Army/Department of Defense sources for active duty Army soldiers during 2004−2009 were analyzed in 2013. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify person-level sociodemographic, service-related, occupational, and mental health predictors of accident deaths. Results Delayed rank progression or demotion and being male, unmarried, in a combat arms specialty, and of low rank/service length increased odds of accident death for enlisted soldiers. Unique to officers was high risk associated with aviation specialties. Accident death risk decreased over time for currently deployed, enlisted soldiers and increased for those never deployed. Mental health diagnosis was associated with risk only for previous and never-deployed, enlisted soldiers. Models did not discriminate not-line-of-duty from line-of-duty accident deaths. Conclusions Adding more refined person-level and situational risk indicators to current models could enhance understanding of accident death risk specific to soldier rank and deployment status. Stable predictors could help identify high risk of accident deaths in future cohorts of Regular Army soldiers.

Projectile penetration through solids is particularly well-suited to a CEL method. In this study the CEL method in the commercially-available code Abaqus was used to model a near rigid projectile perforating finite thickness concrete slabs. A near rigid projectile can be modeled as a Lagrangian material with distinct material interfaces, while the solid target can be modeled as an Eulerian material capable of large deformations. An improved concrete constitutive model is also described that was implemented into Abaqus as a user material model. A simplified stochastic model was also implemented to capture some of the heterogeneous nature of concrete. The CEL simulations are compared to experimental data to demonstrate the utility of this method for this type of perforation event.

The measure builds on Zhou et al.'s (2007) flow-based method to transform bipartite data and captures additional information from the second mode that existing measures of centrality typically exclude. Three previously published bipartite networks serve as test cases to demonstrate the extent of correlation among node-level centrality rankings derived from dependency centrality and those derived from canonical centrality measures: degree, closeness, betweenness, and eigenvector. Ultimately, dependency centrality appears to offer a novel means to measure importance in bipartite networks depicting social interactions.

In a dropwise condensation system, the heat transferred to the condensing surface is related to the size distribution of attached drops. This study subjects a vertically-oriented condensing surface to mechanical vibrations ranging from 100 to 400 Hz, exciting the resonance modes of appropriately sized condensate drops. Resonating drops mobilize and shed from the surface at smaller size and with greater frequency than compared to a case without vibration, reducing the population of large, thermally inefficient drops on the surface. Excitation frequencies of 100 and 200 Hz yielded net improvement in estimated heat transfer rate in excess of 70% over the stationary case, suggesting that substantial reductions in fuel usage and footprint may be realized by applying this concept in condenser design.

In this study, the forces required for indentation and scratching are used as a measure of a single particle gouge of the surface of a Kevlar fiber. The gouging forces and a geometric model are used to calculate the apparent friction and energy associated with particle gouging during impact. The friction associated with particle gouging can be increased up to ∼240% compared to Kevlar yarn-yarn friction levels. The energy of gouging a distribution of particles is on the order of 10% of the energy required for axial tensile failure and 25% of the energy required for transverse compression of the fiber (for a limiting transverse strain of ∼0.3). The relative contributions of the friction and energy associated with particle gouging to the overall energy dissipated by a textile composite are discussed.

It is proposed that previously reported Raman analyses of (EC) n –LiX mixtures have utilized faulty assumptions. In the present studies, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have provided corrections in terms of both the scaling factors for the solvent's Raman band intensity variations and information about band overlap. By accounting for these factors, the solvation numbers obtained from two different EC solvent bands are in excellent agreement with one another. The same analysis for PC, however, was found to be quite challenging. Commercially available PC is a racemic mixture of ( S )- and ( R )-PC isomers. Based upon the quantum chemistry calculations, each of these solvent isomers may exist as multiple conformers due to a low energy barrier for ring inversion, making deconvolution of the Raman bands daunting and inherently prone to significant error. Thus, Raman spectroscopy is able to accurately determine the extent of the EC…Li + cation solvation interactions using the provided methodology, but a similar analysis of PC…Li + cation solvation results in a significant underestimation of the actual solvation numbers.

JO - Applied Surface Science JF - Applied Surface Science Y1 - 2014/11/30/ VL - 320 M3 - Article SP - 414 EP - 428 SN - 01694332 AB - Focal plane arrays of strained layer superlattices (SLSs) composed of InAs/GaSb are excellent candidates for infrared imaging, but one key factor limiting their utility is the lack of a surface passivation technique capable of protecting the mesa sidewall from degradation. Along these lines, we demonstrate the use of aqueous 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) deposited as a surface functionalizing agent for subsequent polymer passivation on InAs and GaSb surfaces following a HCl/citric acid procedure to remove the conductive oxide In 2 O 3 . Using atomic force microscopy, variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), and modeling with density functional theory (DFT), we demonstrate that APTES films can successfully be deposited on III-V substrates by spin coating and directly compare these films to those deposited on silicon substrates. The HCl/citric acid surface preparation treatment is particularly effective at removing In 2 O 3 without the surface segregation of In oxides observed from use of HCl alone. However, HCl/citric acid surface treatment method does result in heavy oxidation of both Ga and Sb, accompanied by segregation of Ga oxide to the surface. Deposited APTES layer thickness did not depend on the substrate choice, and thicknesses between 1 and 20 nm were obtained for APTES solution concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 2.5 vol %. XPS results for the N1s band of APTES showed that the content of ionic nitrogen was high (∼50%) for the thinnest films (∼1 nm), and decreased with increasing film thickness. These results indicate that APTES can indeed be used to form a silane surface layer to cover III-V materials substrates. Such APTES silane layers may prove useful in surface passivation of these materials alone, or as surface functionalizing agents for subsequent covalent binding with polymer overlayers like polyimide.

Here, we present the in vitro and in vivo behaviors of a rationally designed, ternary, self-assembled nanoparticle complex, consisting of an anionic copolymer, cationic DOTAP liposome, and antisense oligonucleotide (AON). The multifunctional copolymers are based on backbone poly(propylacrylic acid) (PPAA), a pH-sensitive hydrophobic polymer, with grafted poly(alkylene oxides) (PAOs) varying in extent of grafting and PAO chemistry. The nanoparticle complexes with PPAA-g-PAO copolymers enhance antisense gene silencing effects in A2780 human ovarian cancer cells. A greater amount of AON is delivered to ovarian tumor xenografts using the ternary copolymer-stabilized delivery system, compared to a binary DOTAP/AON complex, following intraperitoneal injection in mice. Further, intratumoral injection of the nanoparticle complexes containing 1 mol% grafted PAO reduced tumoral bcl-2 expression by up to 60%. The data for complexes across the set of PAO polymers support a strong role for the hydrophilic–lipophilic balance of the graft copolymer in achieving serum stability and cellular uptake. Based upon these results, we anticipate that this novel nanoparticle delivery system can be extended to the delivery of plasmid DNA, siRNA, or aptamers for preclinical and clinical development.

Graphene oxide dispersed in water was used as an ink for inkjet printing the electrode active material onto metal film on Kapton current collectors. After printing, the graphene oxide was thermally reduced at 200 °C to produce conductive graphene electrodes. These electrodes were heat sealed together with added electrolyte and separator, and the assembled supercapacitor performance was evaluated. The specific capacitance of the graphene is good, and the overall performance of the packaged device serves as a proof of concept. But in the future, thicker graphene electrodes and further package optimization will be required to obtain good device-level performance. A number of issues associated with using Kapton for packaging these devices are identified and discussed.

Methyl viologen (MV2+) is present in theelectrolyte to scavenge photoelectrons from PSI in the Nafion filmand transport charges to the counter electrode.

Photocurrentis produced when the working electrode is set to voltages negativeof the Os3+/Os2+redox potential. Charge transferthrough the Nafion film and photohole scavenging at the PSI luminalsurface by Os(bpy)2Cl2depends on the reductionof Os redox centers to Os2+via hole scavenging from PSI.The optimal film densities of Nafion (10 μg/cm2Nafion)and PSI (100 μg/cm2PSI) are determined to providethe highest photocurrents. These optimal film densities force filmsto be thin to allow the majority of PSI to have productive electricalcontact with the backing electrode.

The substructure of the material evolves substantially with increase in peak shock stress ranging from 4 GPa to 9 GPa with dislocation debris uniformly distributed throughout the interior of the subgrain. Observations from substructure evolution in conjunction with spall failure results suggest that ductile fracture by void nucleation, growth, and coalescence was perhaps the dominant fracture mode for shock stresses up to approximately 8.3 GPa. Whereas, beyond 8.3 GPa the material softened possibly due to dislocation reorganization (dynamic recovery) and brittle intergranular fracture by decohesion with isolated pockets of nanovoids was perhaps the dominant fracture mode. The contributions of nanovoids to the dynamic recovery process, if any, were unresolved. Microhardness measurements show an increase in residual hardness throughout the shock stress range studied implying shock hardening up to approximately 8.3 GPa. This observation also suggests that thermal softening was not operative throughout the shock stress range studied. However, dynamic recovery was thermally influenced during shock loading.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2014/11/17/ VL - 618 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 354 SN - 09215093 AB - Atomistic simulations have shown that the grain boundary (GB) structure affects a number of physical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, which can have a profound effect on macroscopic properties of polycrystalline materials. The research objective herein is to use atomistic simulations to explore the role that GB structure and the adjacent crystallographic orientations have on the directional asymmetry of an intergranular crack (i.e. cleavage behavior is favored along one direction, while ductile behavior along the other direction of the interface) for aluminum grain boundaries. Simulation results from seven 〈110〉 symmetric tilt grain boundaries (STGBs) show that the GB structure and the associated free volume directly influence the stress–strain response, crack growth rate, and crack tip plasticity mechanisms for middle-tension (M(T)) crack propagation specimens. In particular, the structural units present within the GB promote whether a dislocation or twinning-based mechanism operates at the crack tip during intergranular fracture along certain GBs (e.g., the ‘E’ structural unit promotes twinning at the crack tip in Al). Furthermore, the crystallography of the adjacent grains, and therefore the available slip planes, can significantly affect the crack growth rates in both directions of the crack – this creates a strong directional asymmetry in the crack growth rate in the Σ 11 (113) and the Σ 27 (552) STGBs. Upon comparing these results with the theoretical Rice criterion, it was found that certain GBs in this study ( Σ 9 (221), Σ 11 (332) and Σ 33 (441)) show an absence of directional asymmetry in the observed crack growth behavior, in conflict with the Rice criterion. The significance of the present research is that it provides a physical basis for the role of GB character and crystallographic orientation on intergranular crack tip deformation behavior.

Rietveld refinement of the data suggests the material to be Pmm (cubic) from 200 to 900°C, P4/mmm (tetragonal) from 30 to 200°C with phases similar to those of BaTiO3[12]. Average grain size determined using scanning electron microscopy is 650 nm.

The decision-making model (DMM) implements imitating behavior by means of a network of coupled two-state master equations that undergoes a phase transition at a critical value of a control parameter. The evolutionary spatial game, being a generalization of the prisoner's dilemma game, is used to determine in objective fashion the cooperative or anticooperative strategy adopted by individuals. Interactions between two sources of dynamics increases the domain of initial states attracted to phase transition dynamics beyond that of the DMM network in isolation. Additionally, on average the influence of the DMM on the game increases the final observed fraction of cooperators in the system.

Fe- or Co-containing carbon fibers were prepared by pyrolyzing electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers containing the respective metal precursor and are denoted Fe-PAN and Co-PAN, respectively. The Fe- or Co-PAN carbon fibers were acid-leached and subjected to a second pyrolysis, whereby the final fibers were found to be uniform in diameter with roughened surfaces. Scanning transmission electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy area-mapping identified Fe or Co nanoparticulates throughout the fiber with a distribution of particulate sizes. X-ray diffractograms (XRD) revealed amorphous Fe-PAN and Co-PAN carbon fibers with no discernible Fe or Co phases, whereas high-resolution XPS scans show a range of potential Fe or Co species. Moreover, the high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and peak-fitting analysis provided chemical species information for the C1s, N1s, Fe2p and Co2p regions. The physical characterizations highlighted potential beneficial components for the electrocatalysts that made their use as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) effective. Rotating disk and ring-disk electrode experiments determined that the best Fe-PAN sample out-performed the best Co-PAN sample and even performed well in comparison to a commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst for the ORR in a high pH media.

Cyclic voltammetry was used to assess catalyst functionality, stability, and recyclability.

Starting from a parabolic equation, and using the Markov approximation and a locally frozen turbulence hypothesis, closed-form equations for the spatial-temporal statistical moments of arbitrary order of the sound-pressure field are derived. The general theory provides a basis for analysis of many statistical characteristics of broadband and narrowband acoustic signals for different geometries of propagation: line-of-sight propagation, multipath propagation in a refractive atmosphere above an impedance ground, and sound scattering into a refractive shadow zone. As an example of application of this theory, the spatial-temporal coherence of narrowband acoustic signals for line-of-sight propagation is calculated and analyzed. The coherence time of acoustic signals is studied numerically for meteorological conditions ranging from cloudy to sunny conditions, and with light, moderate, and strong wind. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data.

The simulations were for laminar, thermally developing flow with H1 boundary conditions: uniform heat flux along the length of the channel and constant temperature around the perimeter. In the limit as the non-dimensional length, x* = x/( D RePr), goes to zero, the Nusselt number is dependent on x* to the negative exponent m. As the non-dimensional length goes to infinity the Nusselt number approaches fully developed values that are independent of x*. General correlations for the local and mean heat transfer coefficients are presented that use an asymptotic blending function to transition between these limiting cases. The discrepancy between the correlation and the numerical results is less than 2.5 % for all aspect ratios. The correlations presented are applicable to all aspect ratios and all non-dimensional lengths, and decrease the discrepancy relative to existing correlations.

On atomically flat surface, generated EDLs in all systems produced a weakly changing differential capacitance (DC) as a function of electrode potential. However, on atomically rough surfaces, ionic liquids with FSI and TFSI anions show substantially different EDL structures and DC dependence. Unlike [C n mim][TFSI], which generated a camel-shape DC regardless of the cation alkyl tail length, the [C n mim][FSI] showed a transition from a bell-shape to a camel-shape DC upon increase of the cation alkyl tail length. Analysis of contributions from rearrangement and reorientation of cations and anions indicated that the ability of the FSI anion to respond to changes in electrode potential is the primary driving force for such behavior.

JO - Ecological Economics JF - Ecological Economics Y1 - 2014/11// VL - 107 M3 - Article SP - 366 EP - 377 SN - 09218009 AB - This study identifies a full range of ecosystem services that could be affected by a restoration project in the central Everglades and monetizes the economic value of a subset of these services using existing data. Findings suggest that the project will potentially increase many ecosystem services that have considerable economic value to society. The ecosystem services monetized within the scope of this study are a subset of the difference between the future-with the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) and the future-without CEPP, and they totaled ~$1.8 billion USD at a 2.5% discount rate. Findings suggest that the use of ecosystem services in project planning and communications may require acknowledgment of the difficulty of monetizing important services and the limitations associated with using only existing data and models. Results of this study highlight the need for additional valuation efforts in this region, focused on those services that are likely to be impacted by restoration activities but were notably challenging to value in this assessment due to shortages of data.

These are sets of the form MT(... are increasing finite nonempty subsets of N}, where a1, a2, . . ., am ... with am > 0 and ... is a sequence in N. That is, if p(y1,y2,...,ym) = ... is a given linear polynomial and a finite coloring of N is given, one gets a sequence (xn )£=1 such that all sums of the form p( ...) are monochromatic. In this paper we extend these systems to images of very general extended polynomials. We work with the Stone-Cech compactification ßF of the discrete space F of finite subsets of N, whose points we take to be the ultrafilters on F. We utilize a simply stated result about the tensor products of ultrafilters and the algebraic structure of ßF.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requires a 70% overall performance rating to pass speech intelligibility certification for commercial chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear air-purifying respirators. However, the speech intelligibility of certified respirators is not reported and the impact on operational performance is unknown. The objective of this effort was to assess the speech intelligibility of 12 certified air-purifying respirators and to predict their impact on operational performance. The NIOSH respirator certification standard testing procedures were followed. Regression equations were fit to data from studies that examined the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on operational performance of simple and complex missions. The impact of the tested respirators on operational performance was estimated from these equations. Performance ratings observed for each respirator were: MSA Millennium (90%), 3M FR-M40 (88%), MSA Ultra Elite (87%), Scott M110 (86%), North 5400 (85%), Scott M120 (85%), Avon C50 (84%), Avon FM12 (84%), Survivair Optifit (81%), Drager CDR 4500 (81%), Peltor-AOSafety M-TAC (79%), and 3M FR-7800B (78%). The Millennium and FR-M40 had statistically significantly higher scores than the FR-7800B. The Millennium also scored significantly higher than the M-TAC. All of the tested respirators were predicted to have little impact on simple and complex mission performance times and on simple mission success rate. However, the regression equations showed that 75% of missions that require complex communications would be completed while wearing the Millennium, FR-M40, or Ultra Elite but that only 60% would be completed successfully while wearing the FR-7800B. These results suggest that some certified respirators may have a greater impact on speech communications than others.

Methods Swine underwent computerized tomography (CT) with VB and FOB before (0) and 24 and 48 h after SII. VB and FOB images were scored by 5 providers off line. Results FOB and VB scores increased over time ( p < 0.001) with FOB scoring higher than VB at 0 (0.30 ± 0.79 vs. 0.03 ± 0.17), 24 h (4.21 ± 1.68 vs. 2.47 ± 1.50), and 48 h (4.55 ± 1.83 vs. 1.94 ± 1.29). FOB and VB showed association with PaO 2 -to-FiO 2 ratios (PFR) with areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC): for PFR ≤ 300, VB 0.830, FOB 0.863; for PFR ≤ 200, VB 0.794, FOB 0.825; for PFR ≤ 100, VB 0.747, FOB 0.777 (all p < 0.001). FOB showed 80.3% specificity, 77% sensitivity, 88.8% negative-predictive value (NPV), and 62.3% positive-predictive value (PPV) for PFR ≤ 300 and VB showed 67.2% specificity, 85.5% sensitivity, 91.3% NPV, and 53.4% PPV. Conclusions VB provided similar injury severity scores to FOB, correlated with PFR, and reliably detected airway narrowing. VB performed during admission CT may be a useful screening tool specifically to demonstrate airway narrowing induced by SII.

We report on breeding phenology and demography, calculate model-based estimates of nest survival and seasonal productivity and evaluate support for relationships with forest type, forest edge density, day of year, and year, and determine correspondence in these 2 measures of reproductive success. Males arrived in early March. Females laid the first egg of the first clutch in early April, made up to 5 nesting attempts, and completed nesting by mid-June. The most-supported nest survival model included day of year, proportion of juniper and juniper-oak forest within a 100-m radius of each nest, and the interactive effect of year and forest edge density. The most-supported seasonal productivity model included proportion of each forest type and the interactive effect of year and forest edge density. Seasonal productivity increased from 1.38 to 3.96 fledglings per territory and from 1.38 to 2.40 fledglings per territory across 0.00 to 0.87 and 0.00 to 1.00 proportion of juniper and proportion of juniper-oak forest, respectively. Seasonal productivity ranged from 1.86 to 3.12 fledglings per territory in 2010 and 2004, respectively (mean ± SD = 2.36 ± 0.37). Correlations between nest survival and seasonal productivity were strong when we controlled for the effect of year indicating demographic parameters other than nest survival, particularly renesting, double brooding, and polygyny, made an important contribution to actual seasonal productivity. The similarity in relationships of both measures of reproductive success with forest type and edge density and parallel findings for density with these habitat metrics reported in other studies provide strong rationale for protecting sites with high proportions of juniper and juniper-oak forest and less forest edge to further recovery efforts for the Golden-cheeked Warbler.

Brindamos resultados de fenología reproductiva y de demografía, calculamos estimaciones de supervivencia del nido y productividad estacional basadas en modelos y evaluamos las relaciones con el tipo de bosque, la densidad de borde de bosque, el día del año y el año, y determinamos la correspondencia en estas dos medidas de éxito reproductivo. Los machos llegaron a principios de marzo. Las hembras pusieron el primer huevo de la primera nidada a principios de abril, realizaron hasta cinco intentos de nidificación y completaron la nidificación hasta mediados de junio. El modelo de supervivencia del nido con mayor soporte incluyó el día del año, la proporción de bosque de enebro y enebro-roble dentro de un radio de 100 m desde cada nido, y el efecto interactivo del año y la densidad de borde de bosque. El modelo de productividad estacional con mayor soporte incluyó la proporción de cada tipo de bosque y el efecto interactivo del año y la densidad de borde de bosque. La productividad estacional aumentó de 1.38 a 3.96 volantones por territorio y de 1.38 a 2.40 volantones por territorio a través de 0.00 a 0.87 y de 0.00 a 1.00 de proporción de enebro y de proporción de bosque de enebro-roble, respectivamente. La productividad estacional varió entre 1.86 y 3.12 volantones por territorio en 2010 y 2004, respectivamente (media ± DE = 2.36 ± 0.37). Las correlaciones entre supervivencia del nido y productividad estacional fueron fuertes cuando controlamos por el efecto del año, indicando que los parámetros demográficos distintos de la supervivencia del nido, particularmente la nidificación repetida, la nidada doble y la poliginia contribuyeron de modo importante a la productividad estacional. La similitud en las relaciones de ambas medidas de éxito reproductivo con el tipo de bosque y la densidad de borde, y los hallazgos paralelos de densidad usando estas métricas de hábitat presentados en otros estudios, brindan un fuerte argumento para proteger los sitios con alta proporción de bosque de enebro y enebro-roble y menos borde de bosque, permitiendo impulsar los esfuerzos de recuperación de S. chrysoparia.

A microfabricated testing platform uses variable rolling element diameters or vapor-phase lubricated interfaces to independently test friction force with varying contact area and surface energy. A linear, consistent, relationship between friction force and contact area is observed among different rolling element diameters. When surface free energy is altered through the introduction of vapor-phase lubrication, an 83 % decrease in friction is observed. When coupled with observed ball material adhered to the raceway, there is strong evidence for adhesion-dominated rolling friction regime at the micro-scale.

Essentially, a finite difference method is used in the bulk for wave propagation modeling, while peridynamics is automatically inserted in high strain areas to model crack initiation and growth. The dispersion properties of finite difference methods and discretized peridynamics are reviewed and the interface reflection properties between the two regions are investigated. Results show that the augmented method can improve the modeling of wave propagation and boundary conditions. In addition, the numerical stress intensity factor computed at a crack tip shows reduced oscillations in the augmented method, likely due to the improved dispersion properties of the bulk. Dynamic fracture simulations show a difference in crack paths between the methods.

JO - Intelligence JF - Intelligence Y1 - 2014/11// VL - 47 M3 - Article SP - 159 EP - 174 SN - 01602896 AB - Profile similarity metrics provide an ideal framework to score rating-based judgment tests. These tests are distinct in asking subjects to rate the relative adequacy of multiple responses for each question. Respondent scores should be based on how well an individual’s rating profile matches the answer key. However, respondents whose "rating-elevation" (tendency to give systematically low or high ratings) or "rating-scatter" (tendency to use more or less of the available scale) differs from the elevation and scatter of the scoring key can be given inappropriately low scores by distance-based algorithms. This can occur despite very high response accuracy with respect to the goal of correctly rating the relative adequacy of the response options for each question, “rating shape.” Using this framework, reanalyses of MSCEIT data showed that after correcting scores for elevation and scatter effects, the MSCEIT is best described by a single factor that is highly g -loaded, ( r = .79), not multiple factors with low g -loadings as hypothesized by its measurement model. These results demonstrate the importance of using profile similarity metrics (i.e., shape, elevation, and scatter) to evaluate the construct-related validity for rating-based judgment tests.

The chaotic solutions of this oscillator can be expressed as a superposition of basis functions, similar to conventional communication or phase coded radar waveforms. Example waveforms are considered to illustrate the variety of ambiguity functions obtainable from a free running oscillator. The mean and the variance of the ambiguity function for waveforms generated by a free running oscillator are derived to determine typical performance. The mean ambiguity function is shown to have a single, localized peak with low variance indicating that solvable chaos has significant potential as the basis of novel remote sensing technologies.

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2014/11// VL - 52 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2491 EP - 2505 SN - 00011452 AB - An active-flow-control study, using steady suction-and-oscillatory-blowing actuators, was conducted on an axisymmetric bluff-body model for a range of Reynolds numbers between 2 x 106 and 5 x 106. Previous work on the same model demonstrated the experimental implementation and efficient drag reduction of the suction-and-oscillatory-blowing actuator system, including comparisons to computational fluid dynamics results. The current study presents a detailed analysis of the experimental data, coupled with a refined computational model toward a flow-physics understanding of the drag-reduction mechanisms of the suction-and-oscillatory-blowing active-flow-control system. The boundary-layer response was examined using time-averaged and phase-averaged hot-wire measurements conducted on the aft portion of the model where active flow control was applied. The drag-reduction behavior was scaled using multiple active-flow-control parameters associated with the unique and complex features of the suetion-and-oscillatory-blowing active-flow-control system. The results show that the drag-reduction mechanisms associated with the suction-and-oscillatory-blowing actuation system include boundary-layer suction, wall-jet momentum addition, unsteady shear-layer excitation, the generation of thrust, and streamwise vortices.

JO - Philosophical Magazine JF - Philosophical Magazine Y1 - 2014/10/21/ VL - 94 IS - 30 M3 - Article SP - 3445 EP - 3466 SN - 14786435 AB - The role that grain boundary (GB) structure plays on the directional asymmetry of an intergranular crack (i.e. cleavage behaviour is favoured along one direction, while ductile behaviour along the other direction of the interface) was investigated using atomistic simulations for aluminium 〈1 1 0〉 symmetric tilt GBs. Middle-tension (M(T)) and Mode-I crack propagation specimens were used to evaluate the predictive capability of the Rice criterion. The stress–strain response of the GBs for the M(T) specimens highlighted the importance of the GB structure. The observed crack tip behaviour for certain GBs (Σ9 (2 2 1), Σ11 (3 3 2) and Σ33 (4 4 1)) with the M(T) specimen displayed an absence of directional asymmetry which is in disagreement with the Rice criterion. Moreover, in these GBs with the M(T) specimen, the dislocation emission from a GB source at a finite distance ahead of the crack tip was observed rather than from the crack tip, as suggested by the Rice criterion. In an attempt to understand discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and atomistic observations, the effect of boundary conditions (M(T), Mode-I and the edge crack) on the crack tip events was examined and it was concluded that the incipient plastic events observed were strongly influenced by the boundary conditions (i.e. activation of dislocation sources along the GB, in contrast to dislocation nucleation directly from the crack tip). In summary, these findings provide new insights into crack growth behaviour along GB interfaces and provide a physical basis for examining the role of the GB character on incipient event ahead of a crack tip and interface properties, as an input to higher scale models.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2014/10/21/ VL - 86 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 10397 EP - 10405 SN - 00032700 AB - This work describes a new specific, sensitive, and rapid stable isotope dilution method for the simultaneous detection of the organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) tabun (GA), sarin (GB), soman (GD), cyclosarin (GF), VR, VX, and VM adducts to tyrosine (Tyr). Serum, plasma, and lysed whole blood samples (50 μL) were prepared by protein precipitation followed by digestion with Pronase. Specific Tyr adducts were isolated from the digest by a single solid phase extraction (SPE) step, and the analytes were separated by reversed-phase ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) gradient elution in less than 2 min. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer using time-triggered selected reaction monitoring (SRM) in positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode. The calibration range was characterized from 0.100-50.0 ng/mL for GB- and VR-Tyr and 0.250-50.0 ng/mL for GA-, GD-, GF-, and VX/VM-Tyr (R2 ⩾ 0.995). Inter- and intra-assay precision had coefficients of variation of ⩽17 and ⩽10%, respectively, and the measured concentration accuracies of spiked samples were within 15% of the targeted value for multiple spiking levels. The limit of detection was calculated to be 0.097, 0.027, 0.018, 0.074, 0.023, and 0.083 ng/mL for GA-, GB-, GD-, GF-, VR-, and VX/VM-Tyr, respectively. A convenience set of 96 serum samples with no known nerve agent exposure was screened and revealed no baseline values or potential interferences. This method provides a simple and highly specific diagnostic tool that may extend the time postevent that a confirmation of nerve agent exposure can be made with confidence.

The current work presents a finite element based computational framework accounting for this critical deformation process, as applied to a detailed investigation of friction stir welded (FSW) aluminum joints. A stir welded joint has several zones, each with distinct microstructural characteristics and material properties. For applications in Army land vehicles, which may be subject to under-body blast, an understanding of the energy absorption capability of these joints is needed. Thus material inhomogeneity, dynamic loading, and detailed understanding of small scale failure processes must all be accounted for to accurately model FSW material behavior. In this study, an implicit nonlinear consistent (INC) or monolithic solution technique is used to predict shear band formation and estimate the energy absorption and failure strain of a stir welded aluminum joint. It has been shown that failure initiating at material interface regions can be predicted, and furthermore that abrupt material property gradients predominantly contribute to FSW joint failure.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2014/10/10/Oct2014 Part 2 VL - 42 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2968 EP - 2973 SN - 00933813 AB - Silicon carbide (SiC) depletion mode junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) are well suited for pulsed power applications as an opening switch due to their normally ON (N-ON) nature. To assess the robustness and breakdown energy tolerance of JFETs under pulsed conditions, they must be evaluated for breakdown energy capability before failure. This is very important for circuit breaker applications due to the large voltage spikes induced during the opening of the circuit breaker while it still conducts substantial load current. These voltage spikes can drive the JFET into the breakdown voltage regime and may result in device failure if the energy dissipation is above the tolerance limit. To determine the maximum avalanche energy of the device under repetitive pulsed conditions, a N-ON SiC JFET with a nominal rating of 1200 V/13 A was driven into punchthrough breakdown using an unclamped inductive switching (UIS) circuit. The testing comprised of 4000 repetitive pulses at 25 ^\circC case temperature at a fixed gate voltage of -20~V . The drain current was increased after every 1000 pulses to increase the energy dissipated. The JFET was able to withstand 1000 pulses at a maximum energy dissipation value of 1160 mJ before failure. The JFET triode breakdown characteristics were analyzed after every 1000 pulses. The peak UIS energy of 1160 mJ corresponded to an energy density of 16.6 J/cm^2 based on their active area.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/10/07/ VL - 48 IS - 19 M3 - Case Study SP - 11543 EP - 11550 SN - 0013936X AB - Assessing the best options among emerging technologies (e.g., new chemicals, nanotechnologies) is complicated because of trade-offs across benefits and risks that are difficult to quantify given limited and fragmented availability of information. This study demonstrates the integration of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) to address technology alternative selection decisions. As a case study, prioritization of six lumber treatment alternatives [micronized copper quaternary (MCQ); alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ); water-borne copper naphthenate (CN); oil-borne copper naphthenate (CN0); water-borne copper qumolate (CQ); and water-borne zinc naphthenate (ZN)] for military use are considered. Multiattribute value theory (MAVT) is used to derive risk and benefit scores. Risk scores are calculated using a cradle-to-gate LCA Benefit scores are calculated by scoring of cost, durability, and corrosiveness criteria. Three weighting schemes are used, representing Environmental, Military and Balanced stakeholder perspectives. Aggregated scores from all three perspectives show CQ to be the least favorable alterative. MCQ is identified as the most favorable alternative from the Environmental stakeholder perspective. From the Military stakeholder perspective, ZN is determined to be the most favorable alternative, followed closely by MCQ This type of scoring and ranking of multiple heterogeneous criteria in a systematic and transparent way facilitates better justification of technology selection and regulation.

JO - Journal of Theoretical Biology JF - Journal of Theoretical Biology Y1 - 2014/10/07/ VL - 358 M3 - Article SP - 11 EP - 24 SN - 00225193 AB - Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant to counter sleep-loss effects. While the pharmacokinetics of caffeine in the body is well-understood, its alertness-restoring effects are still not well characterized. In fact, mathematical models capable of predicting the effects of varying doses of caffeine on objective measures of vigilance are not available. In this paper, we describe a phenomenological model of the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) performance of sleep-deprived subjects. We used the two-process model of sleep regulation to quantify performance during sleep loss in the absence of caffeine and a dose-dependent multiplier factor derived from the Hill equation to model the effects of single and repeated caffeine doses. We developed and validated the model fits and predictions on PVT lapse (number of reaction times exceeding 500ms) data from two separate laboratory studies. At the population-average level, the model captured the effects of a range of caffeine doses (50-300mg), yielding up to a 90% improvement over the two-process model. Individual-specific caffeine models, on average, predicted the effects up to 23% better than population-average caffeine models. The proposed model serves as a useful tool for predicting the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on the PVT performance of sleep-deprived subjects and, therefore, can be used for determining caffeine doses that optimize the timing and duration of peak performance.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2014/10/06/ VL - 615 M3 - Article SP - 198 EP - 207 SN - 09215093 AB - Ternary Mg–Y–Zn alloys have attracted considerable attention from researchers due to their excellent mechanical properties and unique microstructures, particularly from the presence of long-period stacking-order (LPSO) phases. Microstructural variations and the resulting mechanical properties can be affected by various processing routes, particularly those involving severe plastic deformation of a cast billet. The approach used in this work was based on subjecting cast Mg 92 Y 4 Zn 4 (composition in wt%) billet to severe plastic deformation by three different routes, namely equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT) and ECAP followed by HPT, with the aim of refining the microstructure and improving mechanical properties. Samples processed by ECAP were annealed by post-processing and tested in compression and tension. The effect of the processing route and the process parameters on the microstructure and the hardness of the Mg–Y–Zn alloy is reported. An overall positive effect of annealing treatment on the mechanical properties of ECAP-processed alloy is demonstrated.

The purpose of implementing an annular pulse shaper design is to alleviate inertia-induced stresses in the pulse shaper material that would otherwise superpose unwanted oscillations on the incident wave. This newly developed pulse shaping technique led to well-controlled testing conditions enabling dynamic stress equilibrium, uniform deformation, and constant strain-rate in the testing of a chosen concrete material. The observed dynamic deformation rate of the concrete is highly consistent (8 % variation) with the stress in the specimen well equilibrated confirming the validity of this new technique. Experimental results at both quasi-static (10 s) and dynamic (100 s, 240 s) strain rates showed that the failure strength of this concrete is rate-sensitive.

JO - Journal of Biomechanics JF - Journal of Biomechanics Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 47 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 3494 EP - 3501 SN - 00219290 AB - This study quantified how body borne load impacts hip and knee biomechanics during anticipated and unanticipated single-leg cutting maneuvers. Fifteen male military personnel performed a series of single-leg cutting maneuvers with three different load configurations (light, ~6 kg, medium, ~ 20 kg, and heavy, ~40kg). Subject-based means of the specific lower limb biomechanical variables were submitted to repeated measures ANOVA to test the main and interaction effects of body borne load and movement type. With body borne load, stance time (P < 0.001) increased, while larger hip (P = 0.027) and knee flexion (P=0.004), and hip adduction ( P < 0.001) moments, and decreased hip (P = 0.002) and knee flexion ( P < 0.001), and hip adduction (P = 0.003) postures were evident. Further, the hip (P < 0.001) and ankle (P = 0.024) increased energy absorption, while the knee (P=0.020) increased energy generation with body borne load. During the unanticipated maneuvers, the hip (P=0.009) and knee (P = 0.032) increased energy generation, and peak hip flexion moment ( P = 0.002 ) increased relative to the anticipated movements. With the body borne load, participants adopted biomechanical patterns that decreased their locomotive ability including larger moments and reduced flexion postures of the lower limb. During the single-leg cut, participants used greater energy absorption from the large, proximal muscles of the hip and greater energy generation from the knee with the addition of load. Participant's performance when carrying a range of loads was not compromised by anticipation, as they did not exhibit the hip and knee kinetic and kinematic adaptations previously demonstrated when reacting to an unplanned stimulus.

Gaussian mixture source, and \({{\mathbf z}}\) is additive white Gaussian noise in parallel Gaussian channels. Typically, the \(\ell _{2}\) -norm error (squared error) is used to quantify the performance of the estimation process. In contrast, we consider the \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error (worst case error). For this error metric, we prove that, in an asymptotic setting where the signal dimension \(N\to \infty \) , the \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error always comes from the Gaussian component that has the largest variance, and the Wiener filter asymptotically achieves the optimal expected \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error. The i.i.d. Gaussian mixture case can be extended to i.i.d. Bernoulli-Gaussian distributions, which are often used to model sparse signals. Finally, our results can be extended to linear mixing systems with i.i.d. Gaussian mixture inputs, in settings where a linear mixing system can be decoupled to parallel Gaussian channels.

This project's data stems from a three-part multi-method, including a survey conducted in Iraq; a document analysis; and interviews. This article focuses on numerous subthemes that coalesce to vividly divulge an intriguing story about how contemporary advisors build relationships with counterparts, including avoiding an “Ugly American” approach, how cross-cultural competence benefits the mission and increases survivability, learning about counterparts, the power of informal socializing, employing humor, navigating taboo topics, cultural stretching and associated limits, diplomatically balancing strength and subtlety, and taking physical and cultural risks. This project argues that effective advisors deploy a multifaceted cultural toolkit filled with peacekeeper-diplomat, warrior, subject matter expert, innovator, leader, and other tools, which reveals broader organizational changes indicative of emergent postmodern US military culture.

The experimental results from the literature and from our own work are reviewed; the correspondence between the theoretical results and the measured properties of tunable materials is critically analyzed; and reasons for discrepancy between literature results are discussed. Particular emphasis is concentrated on tunable phase shifters and filters to enable phased array antennas, radars and other advanced communications devices. This critical review provides the foundation to spawn new materials research solutions to further enable the development of BST films for microwave device applications.

Many applications require usage of relatively low voltage which is achievable by using a ferroelectric thin-film. Recently developed dielectric metamaterials were implemented in bulk and in thick films. Metamaterials are resonant structures. The frequency range of 0.1–1.5 THz is of special interest for such applications as non-destructive evaluation of materials and detection of chemical and biological hazards. This paper numerically investigates the possibility of a resonant effect in a thin-film ferroelectric metamaterial and the effects of increased dielectric constant and thickness on the thin-film's resonance frequency.

This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period.

JO - Journal of Analytical Toxicology JF - Journal of Analytical Toxicology Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 38 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 524 EP - 527 SN - 01464760 AB - Legitimate use of legal intranasal decongestants containing l-methamphetamine may complicate interpretation of urine drug tests positive for amphetamines. Our study hypotheses were that commonly used immunoassays would produce no false-positive results and a recently developed enantiomer-specific gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) procedure would find no d-amphetamine or d-methamphetamine in urine following controlled Vicks VapoInhaler administration at manufacturer's recommended doses. To evaluate these hypotheses, 22 healthy adults were each administered one dose (two inhalations in each nostril) of a Vicks VapoInhaler every 2 h for 10 h on Day 1 (six doses), followed by a single dose on Day 2. Every urine specimen was collected as an individual void for 32 h after the first dose and assayed for d- and l-amphetamines specific isomers with a GC–MS method with >99% purity of R-(−)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl derivatives and 10 µg/L lower limits of quantification. No d-methamphetamine or d-amphetamine was detected in any urine specimen by GC–MS. The median l-methamphetamine maximum concentration was 62.8 µg/L (range: 11.0–1,440). Only two subjects had detectable l-amphetamine, with maximum concentrations coinciding with l-methamphetamine peak levels, and always ≤4% of the parent's maximum. Three commercial immunoassays for amphetamines EMIT® II Plus, KIMS® II and DRI® had sensitivities, specificities and efficiencies of 100, 97.8, 97.8; 100, 99.6, 99.6 and 100, 100, 100%, respectively. The immunoassays had high efficiencies, but our first hypothesis was not affirmed. The EMIT® II Plus assay produced 2.2% false-positive results, requiring an enantiomer-specific confirmation.

JO - Applied Energy JF - Applied Energy Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 130 M3 - Article SP - 350 EP - 356 SN - 03062619 AB - The results obtained from the combustion behavior of propane over platinum and rhodium catalysts in a meso-scale heat recirculating combustor are presented. The extinction limits, conversion, product selectivity/yield, and activation energy using the two catalysts were compared in an effort to predict their performance using a liquid fuel. The extinction limits were also compared to those of non-catalytic combustion in the same combustor. The results showed that the use of a catalyst greatly expanded the range of stable operating conditions, in terms of both extinction limits and flow rates supported. The Rh catalyst was found to exhibit a higher propane conversion rate, reaching a maximum of 90.4% at stoichiometric conditions (as compared to only 61.4% offered by the Pt catalyst under lean conditions), but the Pt catalyst had superior CO 2 selectivity for most of the examined conditions, indicating more of the heat released being used for product formation as opposed to being lost to the environment. However, despite having a higher rate of heat loss, the combustion with the Rh catalyst produced an overall higher amount of enthalpy than the Pt due to its superior fuel conversion. The Pt catalyst also had a significantly smaller activation energy (13.8 kJ/mol) than the Rh catalyst (74.7 kJ/mol), except at equivalence ratios richer than Φ = 1.75 (corresponding to catalyst temperatures below 500 °C), where it abruptly changed to 211.4 kJ/mol, signifying a transition from diffusion-limited reactions to kinetically limited reactions at this point. The results reveal that Rh would be a more suitable catalyst for use in liquid-fueled meso-scale combustors, as fuel conversion has been found to be a limiting factor for combustion stability in these systems, and as its higher output energy allows for greater flexibility of use.

Researchers evaluated the lower limb biomechanics of 43 female subjects during unilateral and bilateral landings immediately before and after a six-week neuromuscular training program or no training program. They found that plyometric training led to signifcant biomechanical changes but concluded that the changes may not be evident in all landing types.

JO - Talanta JF - Talanta Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 128 M3 - Article SP - 524 EP - 530 SN - 00399140 AB - The use of Insensitive Munitions eXplosives (IMX) is increasing as the Army seeks to replace certain conventional munitions constituents, such as 2,4,6-trinitrotolene (TNT), for improved safety. The IMX formulations are more stable and therefore less prone to accidental detonation while designed to match the performance of legacy materials. Two formulations, IMX 101 and 104 are being investigated as a replacement for TNT in artillery rounds and composition B Army mortars, respectively. The chemical formulations of IMX-101 and 104 are comprised of four constituents;2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), 1-nitroguanidine (NQ), and Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) which are mixed in various ratios to achieve the desired performance. The current work details the analysis of the IMX constituents by single column HPLC-UV-ESI-MS. Detection limits determined are in agreement with similar HPLC analysis of compounds, ranging from 7 to 9 μg/L. Gradient mobile phases are used to allow separation of the 4 target compounds in more complex mixture of other concomitant compounds. Mass spectra are used to confirm analyte identity with chromatographic retention time.

JO - Journal of Biomedical Optics JF - Journal of Biomedical Optics Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 19 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 10833668 AB - The laser-induced retinal injury thresholds for repetitive-pulse exposures to 100-μs-duration pulses at a wavelength of 532 nm have been determined for exposures of up to 1000 pulses in an in vivo model. The ED50 was measured for pulse repetition frequencies of 50 and 1000 Hz. Exposures to collimated beams producing a minimal retinal beam spot and to divergent beams producing a 100-μm-diameter retinal beam spot were considered. The ED50 for a 100-μs exposure was measured to be 12.8 μJ total intraocular energy for a minimal retinal beam spot exposure and 18.1 μJ total intraocular energy for a 100-μm-diameter retinal beam spot. The threshold for exposures to N > 1 pulse was found to be the same for both pulse repetition frequencies. The variation of the ED50 with the number of pulses is described well by the probability summation model, in which each pulse is considered an independent event. This is consistent with a threshold-level damage mechanism of microcavitation for single-pulse 100-μs-duration exposures. The data support the maximum permissible exposure levels for repetitive-pulse exposure promulgated in the most recent laser safety guidelines.

The alternatives compete in a number of independent trials. In each trial, each alternative wins with an unknown probability specific to that alternative. A long-standing research goal has been to find a procedure that minimizes the expected number of trials subject to a lower bound on the probability of correct selection ((CS)). Numerous procedures have been proposed over the past 55 years, all of them suboptimal, for the version where the number of trials is bounded. We achieve the goal in the following sense: For a given multinomial probability vector, lower bound on(CS), and upper bound on trials, we use linear programming (LP) to construct a procedure that is guaranteed to minimize the expected number of trials. This optimal procedure may necessarily be randomized. We also present a mixed-integer linear program (MIP) that produces an optimal deterministic procedure. In our computational studies, the MIP always outperforms previously existing methods from the literature, with a modest additional benefit arising from the LP's randomized procedure.

This technique is non-contact, passive, and provides high temporal and spatial resolution. Pore activity was monitored on the face and on the volar surfaces of the distal and medial phalanges of the index and middle fingers while participants performed a series of six deep inhalation and exhalation exercises. Two metrics called the Pore Activation Index (PAI) and Pore Count (PC) were defined as size-weighted and unweighted measures of active sweat gland counts respectively. PAI transient responses on the finger tips were found to be positively correlated to Skin Conductance Responses (SCRs). PAI responses were also observed on the face, although the finger sites appeared to be more responsive. Results indicate that thermal imaging of the pore response may provide a useful, non-contact, correlate measure for electrodermal responses recorded from related sites.

JO - Cold Regions Science & Technology JF - Cold Regions Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 106 M3 - Article SP - 66 EP - 81 SN - 0165232X AB - Ice freezeup, breakup and jamming events on northern rivers can cause extensive flooding, damage infrastructure, impede navigation, and impact stream stability and the environment. Under a changing climate the ice regime will change as well, meaning increased risk and uncertainty for affected areas. The layman's perception is that climate change is causing warming that is reducing the length of the ice season, so there will be less ice and less damaging impacts from river ice. The concept of ‘less ice’ is supported by studies showing shorter ice-affected seasons. However several studies have found that in temperate regions, the effects of climate trends – increasing temperatures and precipitation – may actually exacerbate problems. In recent years, communities in the Midwest U.S. have experienced long duration ice jam events that have resulted in flooding, damages and evacuations. This study presents a first step in identifying trends in damaging ice events in the Midwest. We analyzed the ice regime of three rivers in the region to determine if trends in the hydro-climatic data support the increasing number of damaging freezeup jams observed in recent years, but no regional pattern in trends related to breakup jams were found. We found statistically increasing trends in discharge and precipitation, with no corresponding increase in winter period temperature, which provide evidence for the change in the ice regime for this region. A hindcasting analysis was used to construct a more complete record of historical ice events. This analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in frequency of freezeup jams for most sites and no regional trend in the frequency of midwinter or spring breakup jams. Some increase in the freezeup jam strength was indicated by an increasing trend in the number of freezing degree days (FDD) in the freezeup jam formation period. Communities need to shift their emergency preparedness for river ice problems from the existing focus on relatively regular, short-acting spring breakups. Future emergency management plans need to prepare to respond to the risk and impact of freezeup jams that, according to this analysis, are increasing in frequency and strength while occurring with less predictability and having longer term effects if they freeze in place.

Both Bi exposure and increasing substrate temperatures reduce the Sb-incorporation and produce strained layers. The bandgap of lattice mismatched layers grown in this way is lowered compared to unstrained material. The PL intensity decreases dramatically when the lattice mismatch increases. The PL intensity also shows significant broadening that can be interpreted as evidence for inhomogeneous alloy distributions induced by the Bi.

Three SiC ABDs were pulsed 1000 times in an inductive load circuit at peak currents of over 100 A. Superior performance in peak pulse current, clamping voltage, and peak pulse power was seen, compared to the results of two series-connected commercial TVS devices, collectively having a comparable breakdown voltage. The transient thermal response of the SiC ABDs was calculated using a model for energy dissipation in short pulses. SiC ABD design parameters and test data were used to show that the reported performance of these devices was not related to package thermal impedance.

Rigid polyurethane foam (RPF) specimens were prepared and tested to evaluate the compressive strength, reactivity, and density of several foam materials under a variety of temperature conditions, where properties were investigated for thermal variations expected in field placement. Following laboratory testing, full-scale field testing of full-depth PCC repairs was conducted using two RPFs of densities of approximately 160 kg/m3(10 lb/ft3) and 240 kg/m3(15 lb/ft3) to verify laboratory predicted performance under elevated and ideal field temperatures. Each repair was trafficked within 3 h of repair completion with an F-15E load cart to simulate fighter aircraft traffic on early-age repairs. Results of laboratory and field testing indicate that high-density RPF materials are suitable as base replacement materials for temporary pavement repairs on airfields. For optimum field performance a RPF with minimum density of 240 kg/m3(15 lb/ft3) should be placed at a temperature of 23°C(70°F).

It is paradoxical that some prisoners—many of whom were falsely convicted—endured gruelling, barely survivable, lengthy terms of labour camp and prison and emerged maintaining their loyalty toward the system of government that was responsible for their imprisonment. With the materials that have become available, we can now begin to understand this phenomenon. Explanations include the 'traumatic bond' (Stockholm Syndrome), communism (the Party) as a surrogate for institutionalised religion, cognitive dissonance and functionalism. This issue may offer insight into the larger question of how repressive regimes are maintained.

It examines the origin and evolution of the doctrine which can be traced back to 1803 with the defining opinion of Chief Justice John Marshall in the case Marbury v. Madison.

Incremental damage was produced in aluminum-backed Al2O3 tiles using drop tower testing for low velocity impact with a high mass indenter. The majority of damage in the fractured samples consisted of radial and cone cracking. The samples were nondestructively evaluated using digital radiography, x-ray computed tomography, and ultrasound C-scan imaging. Bulk damage detected by these techniques was compared to surface damage observed by visual inspection. Qualitative evaluation of surface and bulk cracks and quantitative percent damage assessment were used to compare the integrity of the nondestructive techniques. While all three methods were able to detect surface cracks, C-scan imaging was more effective at detecting internal damage in the alumina samples and x-ray computed tomography was more effective at producing three-dimensional images of the crack patterns.

To ensure a reliable inspection, we investigated the test procedures and disbond identification criteria. A standard specimen was designed and fabricated for calibration of the transducer array. This specimen was also used to study the variables that affect the system performance, such as the repeatability and reproducibility with respect to acoustic coupling, and contact conditions, etc. Based on the statistic data analysis, an automated test procedure and criteria for detection and classification of MMC disbond have been established. By applying the inspection procedure to a set of track shoes, we have achieved more reproducible and reliable inspection results than previous tests. The inspection results were confirmed by ultrasonic C-scans.

BNA is a nondestructive inspection method that has been shown to be sensitive to microstructural and residual stress variations in ferromagnetic materials. BNA data will be presented for X2M samples with various degrees of thermal damage, prior to and subsequent to shot peening. Microstructural analysis results will also be presented. The microstructural feature that was the distinguishing variable between the two heat treatments was the percentage of carbides present. The results clearly demonstrated that it is feasible to use BNA methods to differentiate between the two heat treatments used for the X2M steel prior to shot peening.

Objects that extend laterally beyond the thermal camera’s field of view, such as brick walls, hedges, picket fences, and wood walls as well as compact objects that are laterally within the thermal camera’s field of view, such as metal poles and tree trunks, are considered. Classification of passive thermal objects is a subtle process since they are not a source for their own emission of thermal energy. A detailed analysis is included of the acquisition and preprocessing of thermal images, as well as the generation and selection of thermal-physical features from these objects within thermal images. Classification performance using these features is discussed, as a precursor to the design of a physics-based model to automatically classify these objects.

SN - 00188158 AB - The Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) is a large and diverse river system that changes character along its 1,200 mile network of rivers and canals and 2.6 million acres of floodplain. It supports more than 30 million people in its watershed, a significant commercial waterway, more than a million acres of “floodplain” agriculture and about one-half million acres of river-floodplain managed for fish, wildlife, and recreation. Large-scale geomorphology and climate patterns largely determine the hydrologic characteristics of a nested hierarchy of UMRS river reaches. The human impacts above are also important drivers determining hydrologic characteristics within the hierarchy. Understanding the relationship among physical and chemical processes and ecological responses is critical to implement an adaptive management framework for UMRS ecosystem sustainability. Historic or contemporary data from 42 locations were used to examine changes in UMRS hydrology and to demonstrate the utility of a multiple reference condition analysis for river restoration. A multivariate mathematical framework was used to show how river stage hydrology can be characterized by the variability, predictability, seasonality, and rate of change. Large-scale “geomorphic reaches” have distinct hydrologic characteristics and response to development throughout the UMRS region, but within navigation pool hydrology is similar among all impounded reaches regardless of geomorphic reach. Reaches with hydrologic characteristics similar to historic reference conditions should be examined to determine whether those characteristics support desired management objectives. Water levels can be managed, within limits to support navigation and agriculture, to more closely resemble natural hydrology for the benefit of a variety of species, habitats, and ecological processes.

Almost daily we read or hear about athletes displaying poor character. Most research shows that as the level of sport competition increases, the level of character decreases. However, participating in sports, at any level, can and should build positive character. An insightful three-part exchange between Gough, Stoll, and Holowchak, discussed the merits and feasibility of measuring character through sport. Gough and Holowchak argued that the construct of "character" is too elusive and that empirical attempts to measure it lack validity. Stoll disagreed with Gough and Holowchak and developed an instrument that measures character in sport. We agree with Stoll for two reasons: 1. The problem of character in sport is too big to be ignored. 2. Attempts to measure character contribute to efforts to address the character in sport problem. These two reasons resulted in a research effort to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure the character of individuals participating in sport. The research resulted in the validation of a user friendly, less time consuming, psychometrically sound instrument that measures character in a sport setting.

Such mixtures display a volume-change response at a threshold value of the coarse fraction that is reminiscent of systems described by percolation theory. An experimental investigation on a sand-clay mixture is presented that clearly displays threshold behavior and sheds light on the role that each soil fraction plays in transferring loads through the medium. There are two key effects. First, an analysis of void ratio of the interpore clay fraction for varying compaction energies reveals an abrupt reduction in clay density at the threshold fraction of sand, whereby it is virtually impossible to impart compaction on the clay fraction at sand contents exceeding this threshold. Second, although force chains cannot be observed directly, analysis of the sand in terms of its component void ratio, computed based on treating the clay as part of the void space, shows that the sand carries a majority of the load at component void ratios that are too high to form stable force chains. The traditional interrelationship between mean stress and void ratio based on critical state theory breaks down when the sand content nears its threshold fraction. When the sand content is near the threshold limit, increasing mean stress results in a greater dilative tendency. Results are compared with findings on consolidation of sand-bentonite mixtures, and so-called reverse behavior of sand-silt mixtures.

Ten flume experiments were conducted to quantify a sand bridging threshold in a static gravel bed. The D15 substrate/d85 sand ratio was computed for each of 37 unique sand-substrate pairs and the data were plotted, with previously published flume data, to determine the threshold between bridging and unimpeded static percolation. The process threshold boundary between bridging and unimpeded static percolation fell in the range of 12 80%), but endurance was highly variable among fish. Small juveniles [< 82 mm total length (TL)] had lower escape speeds (< 40 cm s−1) than medium (82–92 mm TL) and large (> 93 mm TL) naïve fish (42–45 cm s−1), all of which had lower escape speeds than trained fish (72 cm s−1). Behavior was also highly variable among fish. Overall, benthic station-holding behaviors were least frequent in small fish, intermediate in medium and large fish, and most frequent in trained large fish. Probability of entrainment of juvenile white sturgeon can be reduced by maintaining dredge head flow fields at less than 45 cm s−1 for wild-spawned fish or by rearing hatchery fish to > 93 mm TL and exposing the fish to moderate flow velocities (10–12 cm s−1) prior to their release.

Using a 2.7 mm rod-lens telescope and gravity–fed sterile saline infusion, gender and reproductive stage were determined in the field, and later re-evaluted and confirmed by histology of endoscopic biopsies in the laboratory. Gender and reproductive stage were determined endoscopically in all fish without complication, and proved to correlate 100% with biopsy histology. Modern rod-lens telescopes and sterile saline insufflation can be used under field conditions, provide superior visualization of sturgeon gonads, and offer a high degree of accuracy even with inactive gonads. Rigid endoscopy is recommended as a minimally-invasive means of assessing the reproductive organs of sturgeon and other fish.

JO - Journal of Atmospheric & Oceanic Technology JF - Journal of Atmospheric & Oceanic Technology Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2200 EP - 2215 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 07390572 AB - Over the years, hurricane track forecasts and storm surge models, as well the digital terrain and bathymetry data they depend on, have improved significantly. Strides have also been made in the knowledge of the detailed variation of the surface wind field driving the surge. The area of least improvement has been in obtaining data on the temporal/spatial evolution of the mound of water that the hurricane wind and waves push against the shore to evaluate the performance of the numerical models. Tide gauges in the vicinity of the landfall are frequently destroyed by the surge. Survey crews dispatched after the event provide no temporal information and only indirect indications of the maximum water level over land. The landfall of Hurricane Bonnie on 26 August 1998, with a surge less than 2 m, provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the potential benefits of direct airborne measurement of the temporal/spatial evolution of the water level over a large area. Despite a 160-m variation in aircraft altitude, an 11.5-m variation in the elevation of the mean sea surface relative to the ellipsoid over the flight track, and the tidal variation over the 5-h data acquisition interval, a survey-quality global positioning system (GPS) aircraft trajectory allowed the NASA scanning radar altimeter carried by a NOAA hurricane research aircraft to demonstrate that an airborne wide-swath radar altimeter could produce targeted measurements of storm surge that would provide an absolute standard for assessing the accuracy of numerical storm surge models.

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1151 EP - 1167 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - The lateral and vertical variability of snow stratigraphy was investigated through the comparison of the measured profiles of snow density, temperature, and grain size obtained during the Snow Science Traverse—Alaska Region (SnowSTAR2002) 1200-km transect from Nome to Barrow with model reconstructions from the Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM), a multilayered energy and mass balance snow model. Model profiles were simulated at the SnowSTAR2002 observation sites using the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA-40) as meteorological forcing. ERA-40 precipitation was rescaled so that the total snow water equivalent (SWE) on the SnowSTAR2002 observation dates equaled the observed values. The mean absolute error (MAE) of measured and simulated snow properties shows that SNTHERM was able to produce good simulations for snowpack temperature but larger errors for grain size and density. A spatial similarity analysis using semivariograms of measured profiles shows that there is diverse lateral and vertical variability for snow properties along the SnowSTAR2002 transect resulting from differences in initial snow deposition, influenced by wind, vegetation, topography, and postdepositional mechanical and thermal metamorphism. The correlation length in snow density (42 km) is quite low, whereas it is slightly longer for snow grain size (125 km) and longer still for snow temperature (130 km). An important practical question that the observed and reconstructed profiles allow to be addressed is the implications of model errors in the observed snow properties for simulated microwave emissions signatures. The Microwave Emission Model for Layered Snowpacks (MEMLS) was used to simulate 19- and 37-GHz brightness temperatures. Comparison of SNTHERM–MEMLS and SnowSTAR2002–MEMLS brightness temperatures showed a very good match occurs at 19 GHz [a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 1.5 K (8.7 K) for vertical (horizontal) polarization] and somewhat larger [5.9 K (6.2 K) for vertical (horizontal) polarization] at 37 GHz. These results imply that the simulation of snow microphysical profiles is a viable strategy for passive microwave satellite–based retrievals of SWE.

A total of 380 male soldiers entering Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course served as subjects. Results showed that the psychosocial resources were significantly and positively related to the program completion. Expected stress and cognitive stress did not mediate this effect. Of the three psychosocial resources, only the effect of self-efficacy was statistically significant. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Given this trend, it is important to investigate factors that maximize the effectiveness of this training medium. The present research analyzed the impact of trainee attributes (i.e., prior videogame experience, videogame self-efficacy, and goal orientation) on game-based training outcomes. Participants completed a game-based tactics training exercise. The training exercise used America's Army, a first-person-perspective videogame with a single-player section to introduce game-specific tasks, followed by a multiplayer section where participants form small teams to conduct collaborative missions. Prior to and after the training exercise, participants completed online questionnaires. Results suggest that the trainee attributes, as a set, had a positive impact on trainee motivation, trainee satisfaction, ease in using the training game interface, metacognitive strategies utilized during training, and time spent engaging in the training game. These findings have implications for instructors using videogames as training tools. Recommendations for future research in this area are provided.

Meeting these needs were persistent challenges for the nascent state governments, all of which lacked a financial foundation, manufacturing base, and logistical network to sustain a concerted war effort. North Carolina was particularly beset by these challenges, which led state officials to adopt two of the most burdensome intrusions into the wartime routines of Carolinians: impressment and conscription. Both of these expedients produced antipathy and resistance to Patriot authorities, undermined support for the new state, and added to the disorders within the state during most of the war years.

Test sections were constructed using three range of CBR: high (CBR=40–50), medium (CBR=8–10), and low (CBR=5–6). Testing began with the C-130 load cart and six different matting systems. The C-130 was the lesser of the two aircraft loads examined and this initial testing was used as an “elimination round” for the various matting systems chosen. Matting systems deemed suitable for the C-130 were further tested under the C-17 load cart. Systems were evaluated based on logistical and assembly requirements, mat damage sustained during traffic, and accumulated deformation of the mats and soil during traffic. The latter are shown in line plots of passes versus plastic rut formation. Summary information on each matting system tested and the test sections themselves is presented. Conclusions on the matting systems tested and their application are discussed.

Condensate production potentials are calculated for three areas in Texas; San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas / Fort Worth. A case study building is presented, for which the production potential is applied. The case study building annual condensate production as well as the annual potable water consumption for the water closets and urinals and cooling tower makeup water is calculated and presented to compare condensate supply and potable water demand. The case study building, which is a medical research laboratory located in San Antonio, TX, was determined to have an annual condensate production of 1,887,031 gallons (7.15 × 106 L), which would normally be sent to the sanitary sewer system. The analysis indicates that the condensate production from the case study building's large dedicated outdoor air handling units can completely supplement the annual water closet and urinal water demand with 1,614,031 gallons (6.12 × 106 L) of excess, which could be used to supplement landscape irrigation system or the entire condensate production could be applied to reduce the cooling tower makeup potable water demand by an estimated 16%.

With respect to the conventional thermal annealed films the UV-photon irradiation annealed films possessed improved structural properties and dielectric response. The optimization of the UV-photon irradiation annealing process parameters (using RF-sputtered BST films) was achieved via a detailed set of iso-thermal/chronal annealing experiments. The optimized UV-process parameters, applied to MOSD synthesized BST films revealed further enhanced dielectric response, i.e., 23% reduction in tan δ with sustained tunability of 42%. The improvements in the material properties of the UV-photon irradiation annealed BST thin films are attributed to stoichiometry and structural changes enabled through the UV-photon irradiation annealing process.

JO - Journal of Materials Science JF - Journal of Materials Science Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 44 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5364 EP - 5374 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00222461 AB - Recently, there has been significant interest toward the development of tunable dielectric materials for voltage-controlled, frequency-agile phase shifters and filters operating in the microwave regime. The fundamental challenge in designing materials systems for such tunable devices is the simultaneous requirement of high dielectric tunability (>40%) over a large temperature interval (−10 °C to +90 °C) coupled with low dielectric losses (between 3.0 dB and 4.0 dB in operational bandwidths ranging from several hundred MHz up to 30 or more GHz). We show that a high- and temperature-insensitive tunability can be realized in compositionally graded ferroelectrics and provide a brief review of the results of experimental and theoretical studies on the dielectric properties of Barium Strontium Titanate (Ba1− xSr xTiO3 or BST) multilayer heterostructures. Theoretically, we discuss the role of thermal stresses on the dielectric properties using a non-linear thermodynamic model coupled with basic electrostatic considerations to describe the interlayer interactions between the ferroelectric layers. We show that the thermal strains arising from the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the multilayered film and the substrate may have a significant effect on the dielectric permittivity and tunability of BST multilayers. Experimentally, compositionally graded BST multilayers (5 mol% MgO doped and undoped) were grown via metallo-organic solution deposition (MOSD) on Pt–Si substrates and electrically characterized. Optimum conditions were found to exist in BST multilayers consisting of three distinct layers of ~220 nm nominal thickness with compositions corresponding to Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3 (BST 60/40), BST 75/25, and BST 90/10. At room temperature, the BST heterostructure has a small-signal dielectric permittivity of 360 with a dissipation factor of 0.012 and a dielectric tunability of 65% at 444 kV/cm. These properties exhibit minimal dispersion as a function of temperature ranging from 90 °C to −10 °C. Our results also show that MgO doping improves dielectric loss (tan δ = 0.008), but results in a moderate dielectric tunability of 29% at 444 kV/cm. Electrical measurements at microwave frequencies display a decrease in the dielectric permittivity and tunability for both undoped and MgO-doped BST multilayers. At 10 GHz, the dielectric response, tunability, and the loss characteristics for graded undoped BST are 261, 25% (at 1,778 kV/cm), and 0.078, respectively, and 189 and 15% (at 1,778 kV/cm), and 0.039, respectively, for the MgO-doped graded BST.

Results indicated that a three-factor measurement model consistently improved model fit compared to the previously published two-factor model. Evidence of configural, metric, and scalar measurement invariance across time and among subgroups suggests that the 10-item decisional balance scale is appropriate for investigating associative relationships with other constructs and for comparing group means of the pros and cons subscales among a variety of diabetic population subgroups.

The objectives of this campaign were to develop the methods needed to collect and analyze samples from tactical military settings, to use the data obtained to determine what the trace explosive signatures suggest about the potential capabilities of chemical-based means to detect IEDs, and, finally, to present a framework whereby a sound understanding of the signature science can be used to guide development of new sensing technologies and sensor concepts of operation. Through our use of combined background and threat signature data, we have performed statistical analyses to estimate upper limits of notional sensor performance that is limited only by the spatial correlation of the signature chemicals to the threats of interest.

SN - 16182642 AB - In this review we discuss the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to the problem of detection of residues of explosives. Research in this area presented in open literature is reviewed. Both laboratory and field-tested standoff LIBS instruments have been used to detect explosive materials. Recent advances in instrumentation and data analysis techniques are discussed, including the use of double-pulse LIBS to reduce air entrainment in the analytical plasma and the application of advanced chemometric techniques such as partial least-squares discriminant analysis to discriminate between residues of explosives and non-explosives on various surfaces. A number of challenges associated with detection of explosives residues using LIBS have been identified, along with their possible solutions. Several groups have investigated methods for improving the sensitivity and selectivity of LIBS for detection of explosives, including the use of femtosecond-pulse lasers, supplemental enhancement of the laser-induced plasma emission, and complementary orthogonal techniques. Despite the associated challenges, researchers have demonstrated the tremendous potential of LIBS for real-time detection of explosives residues at standoff distances.

SN - 07490208 AB - The Bonnet Carré Spillway is a flood-control structure that diverts Mississippi River water into Lake Pontchartrain during exceptionally high river stages. Because of elevated water levels in the Mississippi River in the spring of 1997, the Bonnet Carré Spillway was opened on March 17 and fully closed on April 18. The total volume of water discharged into Lake Pontchartrain was approximately 11.8 km3, or two times the volume of the lake, and the total mass of sediment discharged into the lake was approximately 7.1 × 108 kg (780,000 US tons). In 1996, 757 surface sediment samples were collected in Lake Pontchartrain and were analyzed by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy for major cation constituents. These same sites were revisited following the 1997 Mississippi River discharge event. Analysis of the 1996 and 1997 lake-bed sediment samples was accomplished utilizing fundamental statistical and graphical methods. Element concentration contour maps and variograms for the major cations illustrate meaningful differences between the pre- and postspillway sediment samples that are not readily apparent in the analysis of the descriptive statistics alone. Major cations exhibited significantly greater spatial continuity in the postspillway samples relative to the preceding year. The concentrations of aluminum and silicon in the postspillway sediments are considered to reflect, respectively, relative variations in clay and silt contribution to total sediment. The higher concentrations of magnesium in samples collected prior to the river diversion represent adsorption of magnesium onto exchange sites in surface sediments due to exposure to more saline waters.

SN - 08884080 AB - Perspective goals, such as studying a map to learn a route through an environment or the overall layout of an environment, produce memory congruent with the goal-directed rather than the studied perspective. One explanation for this finding is that perspective goals guide attention towards actively gathering relevant information during learning. A second explanation is that information is automatically organized into a goal-congruent spatial model that guides retrieval. Both explanations predict goal-congruent memory, but only the former one predicts eye movement differences during study. The present experiment investigated the effect of perspective goals on eye movement during map study and the flexibility of resulting spatial memories. Results demonstrate eye movements towards goal-congruent map elements during learning, and lasting memory effects at test. These findings carry implications for the design of adaptive hand-held and in-vehicle navigation interfaces that accommodate for varied user goals. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

To help one community and to provide an example for managers of other watersheds, we engaged stakeholders in a group model building process to explore plausible water resources futures for the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia, Canada. The process was conducted by a team of academic and federal government researchers and comprised of a sequence of five one-day participatory workshops held within the basin over a 12-month period. Primary workshop objectives included: creating a shared learning experience, developing a customized exploration tool, and fostering trust in the model among the participants. Survey results indicate that the exercise helped participants to expand their thinking to the basin scale and to appreciate the complexity of water management. Participants found the resulting model to be suitable for futures exploration and outreach; however, the high turnover rate in participation limited the sense of ownership in the model by the completion of the final session.

The dust palliatives were topically applied at multiple application rates to the surface of a silty sand soil that had been stabilized using a combination of Portland cement and polypropylene monofilament fibers. Simulated traffic was applied to enclosed test sections using the heavy vehicle simulator-aircraft fitted with a C-17 aircraft tire at 15,560 kg (34,300 lb) load. The effectiveness of the dust palliatives was quantitatively measured using both gravimetric and optical detection devices. Results from the experiment show nearly complete reduction in dust for Palliative 2 (a synthetic oil) and heavy applications of Palliative 1 (an emulsion polymer). The methodology used for experimentally determining the dust palliative effectiveness provided a mechanism for reducing environmental influences that often invalidate and confuse the results of field experimentation data.

The availability of specific information on the vector-borne disease threat (e.g., presence or absence of a specific disease agent, temporal and geographic distribution of competent vectors, and vector infection rates) allows for effective implementation of appropriate measures to protect our deployed military forces. Vector diagnostics can provide critical, real-time information crucial to establishing effective vector prevention/control programs. In this article we provide an overview of current vector diagnostic capabilities, evaluate the use of vector diagnostics in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and discuss the concept of operations under which vector diagnostics are employed.

A surveillance project to evaluate U.S. military patients for the presence of MDR pathogens from wounding through the first 30 days of care in the military healthcare system (MHS) was performed. U.S. military patients admitted to a single combat support hospital in Iraq during June-July of 2007 had screening swabs obtained for the detection of MDR bacteria and a subsequent retrospective electronic medical records review for presence of colonization or infection in the subsequent 30 days. Screening of 74 U.S. military patients in Iraq found one colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Fifty-six patients of these were screened for Acinetobacter in Germany and one found colonized. Of patients evacuated to the U.S., 9 developed infections. Carefully obtained screening cultures immediately after injury combined with look-back monitoring supports the role of nosocomial transmission. Consistent infection control strategies are needed for the entire MHS.

Warrior Transition Units (WTU's) are tasked with the challenging mission of caring for seriously injured or ill U.S. Army Soldiers. This paper explored the hypothesis that an education- ally-based Mental Skills Training (MST) intervention can enhance self-esteem in members of a Warrior Transition Unit in the U.S. Army. The sample was comprised of 27 WTU cadre members who participated in an Army Center for Enhanced Performance (ACEP) MST educational workshop at a large Army installation on the West Coast. Instruments included the Ottawa Mental Skills Inventory (OMSAT-3; Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2001) and the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS; Wagnild, 1993). Results showed that SERS scores were significantly higher following the intervention. Furthermore, the ACEP instructional components of self-confidence, imagery, and mental practice were significant predictors of self-esteem. Results suggest that MST might be a viable educational approach for enhancing self-esteem in the WTU cadre.

JO - PLoS Computational Biology JF - PLoS Computational Biology Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 5 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 1553734X AB - Large-scale protein interaction networks (PINs) have typically been discerned using affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry (AP/MS) and yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) techniques. It is generally recognized that Y2H screens detect direct binary interactions while the AP/MS method captures co-complex associations; however, the latter technique is known to yield prevalent false positives arising from a number of effects, including abundance. We describe a novel approach to compute the propensity for two proteins to co-purify in an AP/MS data set, thereby allowing us to assess the detected level of interaction specificity by analyzing the corresponding distribution of interaction scores. We find that two recent AP/MS data sets of yeast contain enrichments of specific, or high-scoring, associations as compared to commensurate random profiles, and that curated, direct physical interactions in two prominent data bases have consistently high scores. Our scored interaction data sets are generally more comprehensive than those of previous studies when compared against four diverse, high-quality reference sets. Furthermore, we find that our scored data sets are more enriched with curated, direct physical associations than Y2H sets. A high-confidence protein interaction network (PIN) derived from the AP/MS data is revealed to be highly modular, and we show that this topology is not the result of misrepresenting indirect associations as direct interactions. In fact, we propose that the modularity in Y2H data sets may be underrepresented, as they contain indirect associations that are significantly enriched with false negatives. The AP/MS PIN is also found to contain significant assortative mixing; however, in line with a previous study we confirm that Y2H interaction data show weak disassortativeness, thus revealing more clearly the distinctive natures of the interaction detection methods. We expect that our scored yeast data sets are ideal for further biological discovery and that our scoring system will prove useful for other AP/MS data sets.

This creates a significant problem, as basin-scale wave models can generate millions of independent spectral values. To facilitate selection of a wave modeling technology for producing a multidecade Pacific hindcast, a new approach was developed to reduce the spectral content contained in detailed wave hindcasts to a convenient set of performance indicators. The method employs efficient image processing tools to extract windsea and swell wave components from monthly series of nondirectional and directional wave spectra. Using buoy observations as ground truth, both temporal correlation (TC) and quantile–quantile (QQ) statistical analyses are used to quantify hindcast skill in reproducing measured wave component height, period, and direction attributes. An integrated performance analysis synthesizes the TC and QQ results into a robust assessment of prediction skill and yields distinctive diagnostics on model inputs and source term behavior. The method is applied to a set of Pacific basin hindcasts computed using the WAM, WAVEWATCH III, and WAVAD numerical wave models. The results provide a unique assessment of model performance and have guided the selection of WAVEWATCH III for use in Pacific hindcast production runs for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wave Information Studies Program.

JO - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics JF - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics Y1 - 2009/08// VL - 70 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 762 EP - 788 PB - Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics SN - 00361399 AB - In this work, we develop a finite trigonometric series representation for the stress in a multilayered Goupillaud-type elastic strip subjected to transient Heaviside loading on one end while the other end is held fixed. This representation is achieved by means of the z-transform method and involves the so-called base angles. Generally, different layered designs could share the same set of base angles, and the more layers the design has, the more base angles are expected. Necessary conditions for the base angles and design parameters for any given design are described. As a result of the stress representation, we are able to identify optimal layered designs which provide the smallest stress amplitude. For two- and three-layered designs, for which the coefficients of the stress representation are easy to find, the optimization results are achieved using a custom-made discrete optimization technique applied in [A. P. Velo and G. A. Gazonas, Int. J. Solids Structures, 40 (2003), pp. 6417- 6428]. For other layered designs, the optimality conditions are predicted heuristically using pattern recognition and the necessary conditions for the base angles and design parameters. Applications of these optimization results include design improvement in making a nonoptimal design optimal. They are also extended to non-Goupillaud-type layered media with integer layer length ratios. Our results are supported by numerical experiments and provide means to validate numerical optimization codes.

In order to ensure that CTMs accurately estimate thermal response, an appropriate set of model parameters must first be selected. The challenge arising in this paper is to glean a set of parameters that best describes the performance of CTM over a set of test conditions. We examine a non-convex optimisation formulation for this parameter estimation problem, and derive the first exact optimisation algorithm for the problem using a continuous version of the reformulation-linearisation technique. We provide experimental results on real data to demonstrate the applicability of our approach.

A modification of Michel’s method measured RBC-AChE activities from 991 individuals (818 males and 173 females) presumably unexposed to nerve agents. Median age was 42 (range, 18–76) years. RBC-AChE (mean ± SD) was 0.74 ± 0.06 delta pH units/hour. Multivariate linear regression showed an association with age (slope +0.0008 delta pH units/hour for each year; P < 0.001) unlikely to be clinically significant. The findings represent the largest study of human RBC-AChE to date providing measures of central tendency and variation.

We examined interview data from two samples of U.S. Army leaders (40 combat veterans and 24 training facilitators). The adaptive behaviors performed most in combat reflected the Deals with Unpredictability and Handles Emergencies dimensions, whereas in training contexts they reflected the Leads Adaptive Teams and Solves Problems Creatively dimensions. The model represented all of the adaptive capabilities; however, the dimensions varied across the samples. To promote adaptability, the leaders recommended developing mental adaptability skills and adaptive teams.

We hypothesized that officers with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others would hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the officer's general dispositional resistance to change. As with the earlier cadet results, the findings confirmed the hypothesis for learning orientation but not for trust. Discussion focused on the utility of acquiring a better understanding of an embracing change disposition and on the value of salting individuals with high learning orientations throughout the organization. Additionally, for future research, we consider the importance of employing multiple and diverse methods when exploring the embracing change construct. Such methodological expansion will undoubtedly reduce some conceptual ambiguities associated with the current study.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 174 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 762 EP - 769 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Malaria was eradicated and the Republic of Korea (ROK) declared "malaria free" in 1979. However, in 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria, expressing both latent and nonlatent disease populations, re-emerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), rapidly spread to civilian sectors near the DMZ, and increased exponentially in ROK military, veteran, and civilian populations through 1998. Malaria among all ROK populations decreased 5-fold from a high of 4,142 cases in 2000 to a low of 826 cases in 2004, before increasing again to 2,180 cases by 2007. Each malaria case in the ROK is reported in the metropolitan area/province where the diagnosis is made, which may be at some distance from the area where infection occurred. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain transmission sites since approximately 60% of vivax malaria in Korea is latent with symptoms occurring >1 month to 24 months after infection. A review of case diagnosis for civilian, veteran, and military populations shows that nearly all malaria south of Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces is the result of veterans exposed in malaria high-risk areas along the DMZ and returning to their hometowns where they later develop malaria. Thus, malaria currently remains localized near the DMZ with limited transmission in provinces south of Seoul and has not spread throughout Korea as previously hypothesized. This report describes the reemergence of vivax malaria cases in civilian and military ROK populations and U.S. military personnel and assesses variables related to its transmission and geographic distribution.

Methods: Sixty patients with LBP identified as likely responders to manipulation underwent a standardized clinical examination and were randomized to receive a lumbopelvic (LP) or lumbar neutral gap (NG) manipulation technique. Outcome measures were a numeric pain rating scale and the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. Results: Both the LP and NG groups experienced statistically significant reductions in pain and disability at 48 hours postmanipulation. The improvements seen in each group were small because of the short follow-up. There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in pain or disability between the two groups. Conclusion: The two manipulation techniques used in this study were equally effective at reducing pain and disability when compared at 48 hours posttreatment. Clinicians may employ either technique for the treatment of LBP and can expect similar outcomes in those who satisfy the clinical prediction rule (CPR). Further research is required to determine whether differences exist at longer-term follow-up periods, after multiple treatment sessions, or in different clinical populations.

Methods: Anthropometrics, ethnicity, and fitness data were collected before review of medical records. Results: Injury rates for I, CE, and CA were 4.0, 7.2, and 5.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, respectively: over 70% of them resulted from overuse. SF soldiers had an injury rate of 3.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, 50% of them reported as traumatic. Average limited-duty days (LDDs) were threefold higher in SF. Smoking, BMI ≥25, and APFT run time for 3.2 km >14 minutes were risk factors in I. Caucasian ethnicity, height <170.2 cm, weight ≥90 kg, and BMI ≥25 were risk factors in CE and CA. Age >27 years old was a risk factor in SF. Conclusions: Greater emphasis should be placed on risk factor identification and testing strategies to reduce injuries among SF and other troops.

The conference focused on three aspects of military nutrition: (1) fueling the forces, or garrison feeding; (2) performance optimization or operational feeding during deployment: and (3) nutritional interventions to support health reset and healing. Presentations by speakers addressed practical interventions (i.e., ready for implementation now) and advanced technologies (i.e., approaches meriting prioritized research and development efforts to transition into application). The conference concluded that nutritional optimization represents an integral and proactive approach to prevent illness, injury, and performance degradation throughout all phases of military service. The overarching consensus achieved was that warfighter nutrition, as a cornerstone of FHP, warrants the critical attention of both medical and line leadership to move quickly to support current initiatives and future advanced technologies.

Although the assumption of link rigidity in kinematic synthesis may be generally appropriate and often practiced, a statically loaded planar four-bar mechanism will undergo a degree of elastic deflection, particularly the crank and follower links. In this work, a nonlinear optimization problem is formulated for planar four-bar motion generation that considers an applied coupler force and corresponding crank static torque, crank transverse deflection, and follower buckling. This work is an extension of the author' published work on planar four-bar motion generation with a static torque constraint (Al-Smadi et al., 2009). The included example demonstrates the synthesis of a traveler braking mechanism with limited crank deflection and without follower buckling in addition to the constraints considered in the author' published work.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 4 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: Protein structures are critical for understanding the mechanisms of biological systems and, subsequently, for drug and vaccine design. Unfortunately, protein sequence data exceed structural data by a factor of more than 200 to 1. This gap can be partially filled by using computational protein structure prediction. While structure prediction Web servers are a notable option, they often restrict the number of sequence queries and/or provide a limited set of prediction methodologies. Therefore, we present a standalone protein structure prediction software package suitable for highthroughput structural genomic applications that performs all three classes of prediction methodologies: comparative modeling, fold recognition, and ab initio. This software can be deployed on a user's own high-performance computing cluster. Methodology/Principal Findings: The pipeline consists of a Perl core that integrates more than 20 individual software packages and databases, most of which are freely available from other research laboratories. The query protein sequences are first divided into domains either by domain boundary recognition or Bayesian statistics. The structures of the individual domains are then predicted using template-based modeling or ab initio modeling. The predicted models are scored with a statistical potential and an all-atom force field. The top-scoring ab initio models are annotated by structural comparison against the Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) fold database. Furthermore, secondary structure, solvent accessibility, transmembrane helices, and structural disorder are predicted. The results are generated in text, tab-delimited, and hypertext markup language (HTML) formats. So far, the pipeline has been used to study viral and bacterial proteomes. Conclusions: The standalone pipeline that we introduce here, unlike protein structure prediction Web servers, allows users to devote their own computing assets to process a potentially unlimited number of queries as well as perform resourceintensive ab initio structure prediction.

Hydrodynamics were examined in the vicinity of two extreme types of jetty structure: a highly absorbing jetty (resembling fairly porous rock rubble structure) and a fully reflective jetty (resembling a vertical sheet pile or caisson type breakwater). Laboratory experiments in a Froude scale of 1:50 were conducted with regular and irregular shore-normal (0°) and obliquely incident (20°) unidirectional waves. Current and wave measurements were made on the up-wave side and inside the inlet as well as in the bay, along a number of cross-shore and along-shore transects. Wave directions were measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system and Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV). Numerical modeling was performed with the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) consisting of a two-dimensional circulation model coupled to a spectral wave model. Calculated current and wave fields from CMS in the area around and between absorbing or reflected jetties were compared to measurements. The highly reflecting jetty created a circulation cell on the up-wave side of the inlet, whereas the absorbing jetty did not.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 21 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 648 EP - 657 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - We investigated the toxic effects of the chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) soman (GD) on the respiratory dynamics of guinea pigs following microinstillation inhalation exposure. Male Hartley guinea pigs were exposed to 841 mg/m3 of GD or saline for 4 min. At 24 and 48 h post GD exposure, respiratory dynamics and functions were monitored for 75 min after 1 h of stabilization in a barometric whole-body plethysmograph. GD-exposed animals showed a significant increase in respiratory frequency (RF) at 24 h postexposure compared to saline controls. The 24-h tidal volume (TV) increased in GD-exposed animals during the last 45 min of the 75-min monitoring period in the barometric whole-body plethysmograph. Minute ventilation also increased significantly at 24 h post GD exposure. The peak inspiratory flow (PIF) increased, whereas peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased at 24 h and was erratic following GD exposure. Animals exposed to GD showed a significant decrease in expiratory (Te) and inspiratory time (Ti). Although end inspiratory pause (EIP) and end expiratory pause (EEP) were both decreased 24 h post GD exposure, EEP was more evident. Pause (P) decreased equally during the 75-min recording in GD-exposed animals, whereas the pseudo lung resistance (Penh) decreased initially during the monitoring period but was near control levels at the end of the 75-min period. The 48-h respiratory dynamics and function parameter were lower than 24 post GD exposures. These results indicate that inhalation exposure to soman in guinea pigs alters respiratory dynamics and function at 24 and 48 h postexposure.

JO - Aquatic Mammals JF - Aquatic Mammals Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 35 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 280 PB - Aquatic Mammals SN - 01675427 AB - Geometries of the iris, retinal cell distributions, and the optical characteristics of the lens and cornea have evolved to optimize the visual adaptations of the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) to the oceanic environment. Under high ambient light conditions, the operculum of the iris shields the lens and forms two asymmetrical slit pupils. Under these conditions, light entering the eye is channeled and focused onto the two areas of the retina having a finer retinal mosaic of ganglion cells (typically associated with higher image resolution). The paths of light determined by tracing rays in the reverse direction through these pupils coincide with a dolphin's behaviorally observed preferred viewing directions. These rays aid in determining the interdependence between the graininess of the retinal mosaic and resolution spot sizes in the object space. For oblique forward and downward viewing directions in air, the larger temporal pupil admits light which passes through the weakly refractive margin of a bifocal lens, counterbalancing the optically strong cornea in air. In water, light passing through the optically strong lens core is focused from a wide lateral and downward field-of-vision. Although other explanations for comparable aerial and underwater vision remain plausible, a dolphin eye model incorporating a bifocal lens offers an explanation consistent with ophthalmoscopic refractive state measurements. The model is also consistent with visual acuity study results conducted in air and in water under both high and low ambient light levels. From insight gained after applying a common data analysis technique to visual acuity studies conducted by other researchers and tracing oblique rays through the asymmetric double-slit pupils, a re-examination of explanatory hypotheses for the paradoxical observations of comparable aerial and underwater vision is presented. Based in part on these findings and supportive evidence from dolphin vision researchers, the unique distinguishing characteristics of dolphin vision are summarized.

JO - Arctic JF - Arctic Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 62 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 201 EP - 211 PB - Arctic Institute of North America SN - 00040843 AB - To support the determination of hydrophytic vegetation in wetland delineations in Alaska, USA, a series of tests were conducted to develop a group of "test positive" species to be used in a "cryptogam indicator." Iin 2004, non-vascular cryptogam species (bryophytes, lichens, and fungi) from Iinterior and South-Central Alaska in the vicinities of Fairbanks and Anchorage were collected at a series of ten 50 x 50 cm plots along two 30 m transects in each of six upland and five wetland sites. Nineteen moss and liverwort species were selected from 86 species surveyed to test for wetland fidelity. In 2005, a plot-based analysis of frequency and cover data yielded a revised list of 17 bryophyte species that were specific to wetland communities dominated by black spruce, Picea mariana (Pp. Mill.) Bb.S.Fungi and lichens were found to be inadequate wetland indicators in the sampled locations because the lichen species were sparsely distributed and the fungi were too ephemeral. The cryptogam indicator was thus restricted to bryophytes. Also in 2005, bryophytes were analyzed for their presence on microtopographic positions within the landscape, including tops of hummocks and hollows at the bases of hummocks. Upland bryophyte species were found on hummock tops inside the wetland boundary, but were not abundant in the hollows (p < 0.05). The fidelity of the species selected for use in the cryptogam indicator was tested. It was determined that if more than 50% of all bryophyte cover present in hollows is composed of one or more of the 17 wetland bryophytes tested in 2005, then vascular vegetation can be considered to be hydrophytic (p < 0.001). (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Afin d'étayer la présence de végétation hydrophytique dans les délimitations de zones humides de l'Alaska, aux États-Unis, une série de tests a été effectuée dans le but d'aboutir à un groupe d'espèces «de test positives» à utiliser avec un «indicateur de sporophyte». En 2004, des espèces de sporophytes non vasculaires (bryophytes, lichens et champignons) de l'intérieur et du centre-sud de l'Alaska, aux environs de Fairbanks et d'Anchorage, ont été recueillies à une série de dix parcelles de 50 sur 50 cm le long de deux transects de 30 m dans chacun de six sites montagnards et de cinq sites humides. Dix-neuf espèces de mousse et d'hépatiques ont été choisies à partir de 86 espèces prélevées dans le but d'en déterminer la fidélité aux zones humides. En 2005, une analyse de fréquence de parcelles et des données de couverture ont permis d'obtenir la liste révisée de 17 espèces de bryophytes propres aux zones humides dominées par l'épinette noire, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. Nous avons constaté que les champignons et les lichens étaient des indicateurs de zones humides inadéquats aux sites échantillonnés parce que les espèces de lichen étaient réparties maigrement et que les champignons étaient trop éphémères. Par conséquent, l'indicateur de sporophytes a été restreint aux bryophytes. Également en 2005, nous avons analysé les bryophytes afin d'en déterminer la présence à des positions microtopographiques du paysage, ce qui comprenait le sommet de hummocks et les creux à la base de hummocks. Des espèces de bryophytes montagnardes ont été décelées aux sommets de hummocks à l'intérieur de la limite des zones humides, mais celles-ci n'abondaient pas dans les creux (p < 0.05). La fidélité des espèces choisies afin d'être utilisées dans l'indicateur de sporophytes a été testée. Nous avons déterminé que si plus de 50 % de toute la couverture de bryophyte présente dans les creux est composée de l'une ou plusieurs des 17 bryophytes de zones humides testées en 2005, la végétation vasculaire peut alors être considérée comme hydrophytique (p < 0,001).

We examined the incidence, prevalence, and risk of eating disorders at the United States Military Academy (USMA) over a 7-year period (total population 12,731 cadets). The incidence per year for females was 0.02% for anorexia, 0.17% for bulimia, and 0.17% for eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and for makes was 0.0% for anorexia. 0.003% for bulimia, and 0.02% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. The total prevalence of diagnosed eating disorders for females was 5% and for males was 0.1%. For females over the 7-year period, we found a prevalence of 0.2% for anorexia. 1.2% for bulimia, 1.2% lot eating disorders not otherwise specified, and for males we found a prevalence of 0.0% for anorexia. 0.02% for bulimia, and 0.03% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. Nineteen percent of females and 2% of males scored a 20 or higher on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT)-26 survey indicating they were at risk for developing an eating disorder. We conclude that the prevalence of eating disorders at USMA is comparable to civilian colleges.

This study examined the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in soldiers (N = 3,792) undergoing combat medic training. At the start of training, 10.4%, 15.5%, and 4.1% of soldiers had clinically significant depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation, respectfully. These percentages increased to 12.2%, 20.3%, and 5.7% at completion of training, respectfully. Worsening of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation occurred for 7.7%, 11.4%, and 4% of soldiers. Higher percentages of symptoms were associated with females, lower education, and lower income. Active duty personnel were more likely to worsen following training with respect to suicidal ideation (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.2-2.9) compared to reservists. The identification of these significant predictors of mental health status may serve to identify individuals at risk. Additional work to examine the relative contribution of anticipatory (impending deployment) factors vs. training-related factors is warranted.

The R parameter values ranged from ∼400° to 450°C. Specimens were thermal shocked by water quenching and the critical quench temperatures (Δ TC) were compared with those of a baseline SiC composition. The behavior of the ABS was predicted by R parameter calculations while the behavior of the baseline material was predicted by the R′ calculations due to its higher thermal conductivity (87 W·(m·K)-1) as compared with the ABS materials (∼30 W·(m·K)−1). The highest critical quench temperature for ABS was ∼415°C with the lowest at 360°C, while the critical quench temperature for the baseline material was 450°C. Using temperature dependent data over an appropriate temperature range (room temperature to the predicted Δ TC), the R parameters of the ABS materials were within 15°C of predictions. The baseline material was ∼1.7 times higher than predicted and this was attributed to the high-thermal conductivity of the material resulting in soft thermal shock during quench testing.

This paper describes a method of combining a depth-averaged two-dimensional flow model and a discrete element model customized to simulate floating objects such as ice and debris. The flow model is the shallow-water equation module of the adaptive hydraulics system. The discrete element model (DEM) is based on a method that has been used to simulate river ice and debris accumulations and vessels such as barges. The modeling system provides designers of hydraulic structures, bridges, and ice control structures, a physically based method to evaluate design alternatives in dealing with problems due to the presence of floating objects. Descriptions of the flow model and the DEM are presented, and then numerical applications are provided, demonstrating the modeling of debris passage at the Harlan Diversion Tunnel and the evaluation of navigation conditions attributed to the guard wall at the Greenup Locks and Dam.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 675 EP - 683 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Experiments were conducted in the Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF) at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center to investigate the importance of wave height, period, and breaker type (spilling and plunging breakers) on total rate of longshore sediment transport (LST) and the cross-shore distribution of LST. Estimates computed by the CERC formula and Kamphius were compared to the accurately measured total LST rates. Several K-values were used with the CERC formula, including the recommended value of 0.39 and calculated values by Kamphuis and Readshaw, Ozhan, Bailard, and Del Valle et al. The recommended K-value and most of the calculated K-values overpredicted the measured total LST rates, but methods that included parameters to indicate breaker type gave good estimates. The Kamphuis and Readshaw equation, in which K is a function of surf similarity parameter, gave consistent estimates with measurements. The Kamphuis equation, which includes wave period and beach slope that in turn influences wave breaking, also compared well with the measurements. Additionally, the CERC formula has been used successfully if K is calibrated, and the formula gave excellent results if K was calibrated with measured data and applied to similar breaker types. The findings indicate that total LST rate is strongly influenced by breaker type. The cross-shore distribution of LST indicated three distinct zones of transport: the incipient breaker zone, the inner surf zone, and the swash zone. Transport in the incipient breaker zone was influenced by breaker type. Transport in the inner surf zone indicated that wave height was the dominating factor and independent of wave period. Swash zone transport, which accounted for a significant percentage of the total transport, showed a dependence on wave height, period, and beach slope.

Two transient climatic parameters and seven individual characteristics are used as inputs to predict three thermal responses using a novel transient computational model. The model is developed using a neural network after ensuring generalization and also checking with results reported in the literature for predictions. It reliably predicts core temperature, skin temperature, and heart rate in transient environmental conditions for individual subjects. A methodology is then proposed to identify the relative importance of the individual parameters and of environmental conditions on thermal stress using a sensitivity analysis. The results have applications for heat stress monitoring and other biomedical applications.

JO - Journal of Hydrometeorology JF - Journal of Hydrometeorology Y1 - 2009/04// VL - 10 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 448 EP - 463 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 1525755X AB - During April 2007, a coordinated series of snow measurements was made across the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada, during a snowmobile traverse from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Baker Lake, Nunavut. The purpose of the measurements was to document the general nature of the snowpack across this region for the evaluation of satellite- and model-derived estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE). Although detailed, local snow measurements have been made as part of ongoing studies at tundra field sites (e.g., Daring Lake and Trail Valley Creek in the Northwest Territories; Toolik Lake and the Kuparak River basin in Alaska), systematic measurements at the regional scale have not been previously collected across this region of northern Canada. The snow cover consisted of depth hoar and wind slab with small and ephemeral fractions of new, recent, and icy snow. The snow was shallow (<40 cm deep), usually with fewer than six layers. Where snow was deposited on lake and river ice, it was shallower, denser, and more metamorphosed than where it was deposited on tundra. Although highly variable locally, no longitudinal gradients in snow distribution, magnitude, or structure were detected. This regional homogeneity allowed us to identify that the observed spatial variability in passive microwave brightness temperatures was related to subgrid fractional lake cover. Correlation analysis between lake fraction and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) brightness temperature showed frequency dependent, seasonally evolving relationships consistent with lake ice drivers. Simulations of lake ice thickness and snow depth on lake ice produced from the Canadian Lake Ice Model (CLIMo) indicated that at low frequencies (6.9, 10.7 GHz), correlations with lake fraction were consistent through the winter season, whereas at higher frequencies (18.7, 36.5 GHz), the strength and direction of the correlations evolved consistently with the penetration depth as the influence of the subice water was replaced by emissions from the ice and snowpack. A regional rain-on-snow event created a surface ice lens that was detectable using the AMSR-E 36.5-GHz polarization gradient due to a strong response at the horizontal polarization. The appropriate polarization for remote sensing of the tundra snowpack depends on the application: horizontal measurements are suitable for ice lens detection; vertically polarized measurements are appropriate for deriving SWE estimates.

To determine the frequency, distinguishing clinical characteristics, and etiology of A. americanum-associated illness and identify associated risk factors, a protective study of adult tick-bite victims was conducted at Fort Campbell from 2005-2007. Forty-two participants submitted ticks, none of which contained Borrelia lonestari or B. burgdorferi DNA. Thirty-three participants completed a follow-up health survey; 14 reported at least one symptom: two had erythema migrans-like rash; eight sought medical evaluation for their symptoms. Findings suggest that a variety of symptoms are temporally associated with tick bite but data provide no clear evidence that reported symptoms were caused by an infectious process. Removing a tick by hand or being bitten on a limb may be a risk factor for illness.

From 1979. when the Republic of Korea (ROK) was declared malaria free, malaria did not present a health threat to U.S. forces deployed in Korea until the early 1990s, In 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria expressing both latent (long prepatent incubation periods of usually 6-18 months after infection) and nonlatent (short prepatent incubation periods <30 days after infection) disease reemerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and once again presented a primary health threat to U.S. military populations in the ROK. Following its reemergence, malaria rates increased dramatically through 1998 and accounted for >44% of all malaria cases among U.S. Army soldiers from 1997 to 2002. More than 60% of all Korean-acquired malaria among U.S. soldiers was identified as latent malaria. Nearly 80% of all latent malaria attributed to exposure in Korea was diagnosed in the U.S. or other countries where soldiers were deployed, These data illustrate the requirement for a comprehensive malaria education program, especially for those soldiers residing or training in malaria high-risk areas, to inform soldiers and providers of the risk of developing malaria after leaving Korea.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2005. The study found 171 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 13.3/10,000 soldiers per year) and 35 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21.6/101100 soldiers per year), a total of 206 MEDEVACS. Fifty-three percent (n = 109) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries caused by acts of war. Thirty-one percent of all oral-facial MEDEVACS (n = 64) were for diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Sixteen percent (n = 33) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were fix nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the face bones, for the most part because of motor vehicle accidents.

No new disease syndrome was identified, but the research produced new understanding and awareness of important psychosocial and neurotoxicological interactions that represented a difficult and relatively untapped frontier in biomedical research, especially concerning chronic multisymptom illnesses. Some specific Gulf War issues such as effects of depleted uranium. Leishmania diagnosis and treatment, and pesticide and prophylactic drug interactions have been intensively investigated; remaining priorities for further investigation include: markers of neurologic change (e.g., neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing), interactions between psychological resilience and neurotoxicity, structure-function relationships of neurotoxins with neurodegenerative disease potential. and predictors of individual susceptibility. The primary conclusions from the program are that no specific neurotoxic chemical has been identified that explains the chronic multisymptom illness observed but wellness of service members in future deployments may be better sustained based on continuing research on preexposure health baselining, fitness and health-damaging behaviors, and stress resilience. The many scientific discoveries and accomplishments of the GWI research effort have advanced military medical science, provided a solid basis on which to build future protections against health and performance risks to the warfighter, and improved the ability to respond to future deployment health issues.

Understanding the vertical distribution of interstitial sand deposits will improve predictions of ecological suitability and hyporheic hydrodynamics. A series of flume experiments was performed to investigate fine infiltration processes. Four sand distributions were introduced into flows over gravel beds. After each experiment, bed cores were extracted and analysed in vertical layers to examine the gradational trends with depth. Vertical trends of fine content were highly sensitive to the relative grain-size distributions of the gravel bed and the introduced sand. For experiments with d15gravel/ d85sand ratios 15·4 and larger unimpeded static percolation was observed, where sand filled the voids relatively uniformly from the bottom of the gravel layer to the top. Experiments with ratios 10·6 and smaller bridged. Sand clogged a thin layer of gravel pores near the bed surface, precluding subsequent infiltration. Interstitial sand deposits fined with depth of penetration for all experiments which was the result of three distinct but overlapping processes. (i) Granular sorting: As particles fell through the substrate, smaller material preferentially passed through the voids deeper into the gravel. (ii) Bed-load sorting: Size segregation occurs in the wake of the leading bed form as smaller particles saltate further and settle first. (iii) Hydraulic sorting: Smaller sand was transported preferentially as suspended load filling the deep voids of the furthest flume positions downstream. Finally, when the experiments that formed a bridge layer were replicated with higher bed shear stresses, less interstitial sand deposition was observed. Higher shear stresses transported coarse particles downstream more efficiently causing bridge layers to form earlier and allowing less time for suspended load to settle into the deeper substrate pores before the pathways were closed.

This lifetime represents an order-of-magnitude increase in the minority carrier lifetime over previously reported lifetimes in long-wavelength infrared InAs/Ga1-xInxSb T2SLs. The considerably longer lifetime is attributed to a reduction of non-radiative recombination centers with the removal of Ga from the superlattice structure. This lifetime improvement may enable background limited T2SL long-wavelength infrared photodetectors at higher operating temperatures.

The active zone consisted of up to 20 InGaN quantum wells distributed in a resonant periodic gain configuration. High-reflectivity dielectric distributed Bragg-reflectors were used as mirrors. Laser emission with a single longitudinal mode at 440 nm was achieved by exclusively pumping the quantum wells with the 384 nm emission line of a dye-/N2-laser.

First, quantization is not considered, then quantization of the Γ-valley is included, and finally quantization of the Γ-, X-, and L-valleys is included. The choice of valley energy-minima is shown to determine the onset of occupation of the satellite valleys and corresponding increase in total capacitance. An equivalent-oxide-thickness correction is defined and used as a figure-of-merit to compare III-V to Si MOSCAPs and as a metric for the density-of-states bottleneck.

The topmost section of the buffers was unrelaxed but strained. The in-plane lattice constant of the top buffer layer was grown to be equal to the lattice constant of unrelaxed and unstrained InAs1-xSbx with given X. The InAs0.56Sb0.44 layers demonstrate photoluminescence peak at 9.4 μm at 150 K. The minority carrier lifetime measured at 77 K for InAs0.8Sb0.2 was τ = 250 ns.

Scattering parameter measurements (9.2 V direct current (DC) bias) reveal bandstop rejection levels > 109 dB at 59.74 MHz and passband loss of 40 dB with a -20-dB bandwidth of 25 kHz (0.042%). These compare within 5-dB of the models. Parallel resonance is also observed for an alternate mechanical mode at 182.8 MHz with a 1.5 V DC bias with a rejection of 54.7 dB, a -20 dB bandwidth of 41 kHz (0.022%). This mode is tunable with the electric field to show series resonance.

However, distribution of normal stress within a soil is not uniform, and the EPC is not an ideal membrane-bending stiffness affects the response. These factors complicate the performance of the EPC. A calibration procedure for an EPC is reviewed, and it is shown that these controversial sensors can provide an accurate measure of average normal stress if calibrated in soil at a given density. In addition, a soil-structure interaction model is proposed to explain why soil calibration is necessary.

By applying a restoring torque to an asymmetric ME sensor, we have increased its effective stiffness and, thus, fr by 20% while maintaining the enhanced sensitivity at resonance. The torque was dependent on both the tensile force from a suspended weight and the length of the wire attaching it. This provides two alternative routes for tuning fr to optimize performance. We have detected fields below 10 pT at both the shifted and unshifted fr of 132.2 Hz.

In the high-frequency regime, the minimum detectable microwave power Pmin is limited by the low-frequency Johnson-Nyquist noise and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of STMD is proportional to the input microwave power PRF. In the low-frequency regime, Pmin is limited by the magnetic noise, and the SNR is proportional to [formula]. The developed formalism can be used for the optimization of the practical noise-handling parameters of a STMD.

Ni-Al multilayer systems of varying misfit strain and layer thickness are created and the ignition temperature is estimated by heating and thermalizing over small temperature increments until a reaction is observed. Results show that ignition temperatures drop significantly with increasing misfit strain. Our results indicate that the sensitivity of reactive multilayers can be controlled, in part, by microstructure, with changes of the order of 350 K.

JO - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics JF - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 94 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 05562813 AB - The structure of 133La has been investigated using the 116Cd(22Ne,4pn) reaction and the Gammasphere array. Three new bands of quadrupole transitions and one band of dipole transitions are identified and the previously reported level scheme is revised and extended to higher spins. The observed structures are discussed using the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism, covariant density functional theory, and the particle-rotor model. Triaxial configurations are assigned to all observed bands. For the high-spin bands it is found that rotations around different axes can occur, depending on the configuration. The orientation of the angular momenta of the core and of the active particles is investigated, suggesting chiral rotation for two nearly degenerate dipole bands and magnetic rotation for one dipole band. It is shown that the h11/2 neutron holes present in the configuration of the nearly degenerate dipole bands have significant angular momentum components not only along the long axis but also along the short axis, contributing to the balance of the angular momentum components along the short and long axes and thus giving rise to a chiral geometry.

A dynamic homogeneous Gross-Pitaevskii calculation indicates that the double-well lattice both stabilizes the looped band structure and allows for dynamic preparation of different initial states, including states within the loop structure. The homogeneous calculation predicts that the loop states, unlike the ground states, should be dynamically stable. An inhomogeneous mean-field calculation including the trap potential, however, implies that the decay is dominated by inhomogeneous effects and that there is little variation in the decay rate among the states prepared within the loop structure. By experimentally preparing different initial coherent states and observing their subsequent decay, we observe distinct decay rates in regimes where multivalued looped band structure is expected, although not the stability predicted by the homogeneous calculation.

JO - BMC Infectious Diseases JF - BMC Infectious Diseases Y1 - 2016/11/23/ VL - 16 M3 - journal article SP - 696 EP - 696 SN - 14712334 AB - Background: West Nile fever virus is a zoonotic arboviral infection maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving mosquito vectors and birds. It is one the arboviruses whose geographical range is expanding because of climate and land use changes that enhance the densities of mosquitoes and promote mosquito-bird-human interactions. We carried out a survey to determine the reservoirs of WNV among wild birds in Tana River and Garissa counties, Kenya.Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 361 randomly trapped wild birds. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), all samples were screened for WNV using gene specific primer sets amplifying a portion of the E region of the genome encoding the envelope protein.Results: Sixty five (65) out of 361 birds screened tested positive for WNV on real-time PCR assay. Sequencing of the selected positive samples reveals that the isolated WNV were most closely related to strains isolated from China (2011). A regression analysis indicated that sampling location influenced the occurrence of WNV while species, age, weight and sex of the birds did not have any effect.Conclusions: This study provides baseline information on the existing circulation of WNV in this region among wild bird reservoirs that could spill over to the human population and points to the need for implementation of surveillance programs to map the distribution of the virus among reservoirs. Awareness creation about West Nile fever in this region is important to improve its detection and management.

JO - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics JF - Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics Y1 - 2016/11// VL - 94 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 05562813 AB - The distribution of single-particle strength in 67,69Ni was characterized with one-neutron knockout reactions from intermediate-energy Ni secondary beams, selectively populating neutron-hole configurations at 67,69N=39 and 41, respectively. The spectroscopic strengths deduced from the measured partial cross sections to the individual final states, as tagged by their ?-ray decays, are used to identify and quantify neutron configurations in the wave functions. While Ni69 compares well with shell-model predictions, the results for 67Ni challenge the validity of current effective shell-model Hamiltonians by revealing discrepancies that cannot be explained so far. These results suggest that our understanding of the low-lying states in the neutron-rich, semimagic Ni isotopes may be incomplete and requires further investigation on both the experimental and theoretical sides.

This study examined medical comorbidities and demographic variables as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP, spinal surgery, and time to surgery.Methods: A 2015 retrospective cohort study was conducted in U.S. Army soldiers (N=1,092,420) from 2002 to 2011. Soldiers with medical encounters for LBP were identified using ICD-9 codes. Surgical treatment for LBP was identified according to Current Procedural Terminology codes. Comorbid medical conditions (psychological disorders, sleep disorders, tobacco use, alcohol use, obesity) and demographic variables were examined as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP within 1 year of the incident encounter, surgery for LBP, and time to surgery.Results: Of 383,586 patients with incident LBP, 104,169 (27%) were treated for chronic/recurrent LBP and 7,446 (1.9%) had surgery. Comorbid variables showed increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP ranging from 26% to 52%. Tobacco use increased risk for surgery by 33% (risk ratio, 1.33; 95% CI=1.24, 1.44). Comorbid variables showed 10%-42% shorter time to surgery (psychological disorders, time ratio [TR]=0.90, 95% CI=0.83, 0.98; sleep disorders, TR=0.68, 95% CI=0.60, 0.78; obesity, TR=0.88, 95% CI=0.79, 0.98; tobacco use, TR=0.58, 95% CI=0.54, 0.63; alcohol use, TR=0.85, 95% CI=0.70, 1.05). Women showed 20% increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP than men but 42% less risk of surgery.Conclusions: In the presence of comorbidities associated with mental health, sleep, obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol use, LBP shows increased risk of becoming chronic/recurrent and faster time to surgery.

The dependence of the size of graphene sheets on the cell performance was investigated. The experimental results indicated that cells loaded with the smaller graphene sheets yielded larger enhancement. The smaller graphene sheets improved the dye adsorption, leading to higher conversion efficiency. The DSSC incorporated with graphene sheets of 184 nm exhibited the largest enhancement in efficiency (∼49%) as compared to the cell without graphene.

T1 - Structural and mechanical properties of advanced polymer gels with rigid side-chains using coarse-grained molecular dynamics. JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2014/09/26/ VL - 55 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 5266 EP - 5275 SN - 00323861 AB - Computational modeling was utilized to design complex polymer networks and gels which display enhanced and tunable mechanical properties. Our approach focuses on overcoming traditional design limitations often encountered in the formulation of simple, single polymer networks. Here, we use a coarse-grained model to study an end-linked flexible polymer network diluted with branched polymer solvent chains, where the latter chains are composed of rigid side-chains or “spikes” attached to a flexible backbone. In order to reduce the entropy penalty of the flexible polymer chains these rigid “spikes” will aggregate into clusters, but the extent of aggregation was shown to depend on the size and distribution of the rigid side-chains. When the “spikes” are short, we observe a lower degree of aggregation, while long “spikes” will aggregate to form an additional secondary network. As a result, the tensile relaxation modulus of the latter system is considerably greater than the modulus of conventional gels and is approximately constant, forming an equilibrium zone for a broad range of time. In this system, the attached long “spikes” create a continuous phase that contributes to a simultaneous increase in tensile stress, relaxation modulus and fracture resistance. Elastic properties and deformation mechanisms of these branched polymers were also studied under tensile deformation at various strain rates. Through this study we show that the architecture of this branched polymer can be optimized and thus the elastic properties of these advanced polymer networks can be tuned for specific applications.

JO - Aquaculture JF - Aquaculture Y1 - 2014/09/20/ VL - 433 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 182 SN - 00448486 AB - Sperm DNA damage is one of the many factors that have been associated with male infertility. However, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) assessment has been challenging because protamines render the nuclear chromatin highly compacted. For those fish species having sperm with protamines, one hypothesis is that the less compacted DNA could be more vulnerable to iatrogenic damage when used in artificial reproduction. The present investigation included three objectives: 1) apply the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) technique using the Halomax-SCD test kit (Halotech DNA, Madrid, Spain) for the rapid assessment of SDF in zebrafish ( Danio rerio ); 2) assess the dynamic aspects of SCD to determine zebrafish sperm DNA longevity in both activated and unactivated samples; and 3) to analyze if the dynamic level of zebrafish sperm DNA fragmentation has any impact on fertility and embryo viability. The results demonstrate the use of the Halomax-SCD test for assessing SDF in zebrafish and are congruent with results of DNA Breakage Detection-Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (DBD-FISH) and Comet Assay. The averaged SDF values derived from 10 individuals were low immediately after sperm motility activation (1.4% ± 0.96) compared to 15 min later (10.6% ± 9.96), with increasing and very high rates of SDF (r-SDF), 0.6% units/min. Although SDF did not significantly influence oocyte fertilization capacity, it significantly impacted later embryo development and overall reproductive success, i.e. , fertility rates higher than embryo viability values.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology Y1 - 2014/09/15/ VL - 307 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - R731 EP - R736 SN - 03636119 AB - During normothermia, a reduction in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived tissue oxygen saturation (SO2) is an indicator of central hypovolemia. Hyperthermia increases skin blood flow and reduces tolerance to central hypovolemia, both of which may alter the interpretation of tissue SO2 during central hypovolemia. This study tested the hypothesis that maximal reductions in tissue SO2 would be similar throughout normothermic and hyperthermic central hypovolemia to presyncope. Ten healthy males (means ± SD; 32 ± 5 yr) underwent central hypovolemia via progressive lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) to presyncope during normothermia (skin temperature ≈34°C) and hyperthermia (+1.2 ± 0.1°C increase in internal temperature via a water-perfused suit, skin temperature ≈39°C). NIRS-derived forearm (flexor digitorum profundus) tissue SO2 was measured throughout and analyzed as the absolute change from pre-LBNP. Hyperthermia reduced (P < 0.001) LBNP tolerance by 49 ± 33% (from 16.7 ± 7.9 to 7.2 ± 3.9 min). Pre-LBNP, tissue SO2 was similar (P = 0.654) between normothermia (74 ± 5%) and hyperthermia (73 ± 7%). Tissue SO2 decreased (P < 0.001) throughout LBNP, but the reduction from pre-LBNP to presyncope was greater during normothermia (-10 ± 6%) than during hyperthermia (-6 ± 5%; P = 0.041). Contrary to our hypothesis, these findings indicate that hyperthermia is associated with a smaller maximal reduction in tissue SO2 during central hypovolemia to presyncope.

This is a generalization of a well-known result on Σ-products of metrizable spaces. Finally we show certain uniform box products have a winning strategy.

One of the problems with LiCoPO4 is limited cycle life. One possible cause for the limited cycle life of LiCoPO4 is mechanical degradation. As a consequence, the mechanical properties, elastic modulus, E, and fracture toughness, KIC, of hot-pressed dense (~98%) polycrystalline (15-20 µm) single phase LiCoPO4 were investigated. E for the hot-pressed LiCoPO4 specimen is ~137 GPa while the E value for the LiCoPO4 specimen after annealing at 600 °C is ~106 GPa. The fracture toughness of the hot-pressed LiCoPO4 sample is ~0.41 MPa m1/2, which increased to ~0.53 MPa m1/2 after annealing. These low KIC values reveal that LiCoPO4 is a brittle material. It is believed that the decrease in E and increase in KIC with annealing is associated with a reduction in residual stress.

Two mechanisms of edge mode formation are revealed: inhomogeneity of the internal static magnetic field existing near the array boundaries and time-reversal symmetry breaking of the dipole-dipole interaction. The latter mechanism is analogous to the formation mechanism of a surface Damon-Eschbach mode in continuous in-plane magnetized magnetic films and is responsible for the nonreciprocity of edge modes in finite-width nanopillar arrays. The number of edge modes in nanopillar arrays depends on the spatial profile of the internal static magnetic field near the array boundaries and several edge modes are formed if a substantial field inhomogeneity extends over several rows of nanopillars.

Soliton turbulence is an exotic form of nonlinear wave motion where low frequency energy may also be viewed as a dense soliton gas, described theoretically by the soliton limit of the Korteweg-deVries equation, a completely integrable soliton system: Hence the phrase "soliton turbulence" is synonymous with "integrable soliton turbulence." For periodicquasiperiodic boundary conditions the ergodic solutions of Korteweg-deVries are exactly solvable by finite gap theory (FGT), the basis of our data analysis. We find that large amplitude measured wave trains near the energetic peak of a storm have low frequency power spectra that behave as ~ ω-1. We use the linear Fourier transform to estimate this power law from the power spectrum and to filter densely packed soliton wave trains from the data. We apply FGT to determine the soliton spectrum and find that the low frequency ~ω-1 region is soliton dominated. The solitons have random FGT phases, a soliton random phase approximation, which supports our interpretation of the data as soliton turbulence. From the probability density of the solitons we are able to demonstrate that the solitons are dense in time and highly non-Gaussian.

JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2014/09/03/ VL - 32 IS - 39 M3 - Article SP - 5131 EP - 5139 SN - 0264410X AB - Whether to restart or continue the series when anthrax vaccine doses are missed is a frequent medical management problem. We applied the noninferiority analysis model to this prospective study comparing the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) IgG antibody response and lethal toxin neutralization activity at day 28 to the anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) (Biothrax ® ) administered on schedule or delayed. A total of 600 volunteers were enrolled: 354 in the on-schedule cohort; 246 in the delayed cohort. Differences were noted in immune responses between cohorts ( p < 0.0001) and among the racial categories ( p < 0.0001). Controlling for covariates, the delayed cohort was non-inferior to the on-schedule cohort for the rate of 4-fold rise in both anti-PA IgG concentration ( p < 0.0001) and TNA ED 50 titers ( p < 0.0001); as well as the mean log 10 -transformed anti-PA IgG concentration ( p < 0.0001) and the mean log 10 -transformed TNA ED 50 titers ( p < 0.0001). Providing a missed AVA dose after a delay as long as 5–7 years, elicits anti-PA IgG antibody and TNA ED 50 responses that are robust and non-inferior to the responses observed when the 6-month dose is given on-schedule. These important data suggest it is not necessary to restart the series when doses of the anthrax vaccine are delayed as long as 5 or more years.

This article describes the impact of such uncertainties, and how they can be efficiently addressed and quantified with stochastic sampling techniques such as Monte Carlo and Latin hypercube sampling (LHS). Extensions to these techniques, such as importance sampling based on simpler, more efficient propagation models, and adaptive importance sampling, are described. A relatively simple example problem involving the Lloyd's mirror effect for an elevated sound source in a homogeneous atmosphere is considered first, followed by a more complicated example involving near-ground sound propagation with refraction and scattering by turbulence. When uncertainties in the atmospheric and ground properties dominate, LHS with importance sampling is found to converge to an accurate estimate with the fewest samples. When random turbulent scattering dominates, the sampling method has little impact. A comprehensive computational approach is demonstrated that is both efficient and accurate, while simultaneously incorporating broadband sources, turbulent scattering, and uncertainty in the environmental properties.

Guidelines suggest beams with lengths of around 1 m, yet little is known about how test length affects propagation. Thus, we performed 163 ECTs and PSTs 1.0-10.0m long. On days with full crack propagation in 1.0-1.5m tests, we then made videos of tests 2.0-10.0m long. We inserted markers for particle tracking to measure collapse amplitude, propagation speed, and wavelength. We also used a finite element (FE) model to simulate the strain energy release rate at fixed crack lengths.We find that (1) the proportion of tests with full propagation decreased with test length; (2) collapse was greater at the ends of the beams than in the centers; (3) collapse amplitude was independent of beam length and did not reach a constant value; (4) collapse wavelengths in the longer tests were around 3 m, two times greater than what is predicted by the anticrack model. We also confirmed the prediction that centered PSTs had double the critical length of edge PSTs. Based on our results, we conclude that cracks propagated more frequently in the shorter tests because of increased stress concentration from the far edge. The FE model suggests this edge effect occurs for PSTs of up to 2m long or a crack to beam length ratio ≥0.20. Our results suggest that ECT and PST length guidelines may need to be revisited.

JO - Journal of Immunology JF - Journal of Immunology Y1 - 2014/09//9/1/2014 VL - 193 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2073 EP - 2086 SN - 00221767 AB - Polyvalent vaccines use a mixture of Ags representing distinct pathogen strains to induce an immune response that is cross-reactive and protective. However, such approaches often have mixed results, and it is unclear how polyvalency alters the fine specificity of the Ab response and what those consequences might be for protection. In this article, we present a coarse-grain theoretical model of B cell affinity maturation during monovalent and polyvalent vaccinations that predicts the fine specificity and cross-reactivity of the Ab response. We stochastically simulate affinity maturation using a population dynamics approach in which the host B cell repertoire is represented explicitly, and individual B cell subpopulations undergo rounds of stimulation, mutation, and differentiation. Ags contain multiple epitopes and are present in subpopulations of distinct pathogen strains, each with varying degrees of cross-reactivity at the epitope level. This epitope- and strain-specific model of affinity maturation enables us to study the composition of the polyclonal response in granular detail and identify the mechanisms driving serum specificity and cross-reactivity. We applied this approach to predict the Ab response to a polyvalent vaccine based on the highly polymorphic malaria Ag apical membrane antigen-1. Our simulations show how polyvalent apical membrane Ag-1 vaccination alters the selection pressure during affinity maturation to favor cross-reactive B cells to both conserved and strain-specific epitopes and demonstrate how a polyvalent vaccine with a small number of strains and only moderate allelic coverage may be broadly neutralizing. Our findings suggest that altered fine specificity and enhanced cross-reactivity may be a universal feature of polyvalent vaccines.

This article summarizes technology-based strategies that promote healthy habits related to physical activity, nutrition, and sleep. Materials and Methods: The Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center convened a workshop titled 'Leveraging Technology: Creating & Sustaining Changes for Health' (May 29-30, 2013, Fort Detrick, MD). Participants included experts from academia (n =3), government (n =33), and industry (n =16). A modified Delphi method was used to establish expert consensus in six topic areas: (1) physical activity, (2) nutrition, (3) sleep, (4) incentives for behavior change, (5) usability/interoperability, and (6) mobile health/open platform. Results: Overall, 162 technology features, constructs, and best practices were reviewed and prioritized for physical activity monitors (n =29), nutrition monitors (n =35), sleep monitors (n =24), incentives for change (n =36), usability and interoperability (n =25), and open data (n =13). Conclusions: Leading practices, gaps, and research needs for technology-based strategies were identified and prioritized. This information can be used to provide a research and development road map for (1) leveraging technology to minimize barriers to enhancing health and (2) facilitating evidence-based techniques to create and sustain healthy behaviors.

Methods Antidromic sensory nerve conduction studies of the ulnar nerve using surface electrodes were performed on 100 volunteers. Reference values were computed from optimally transformed data. Reliability was computed from 30 subjects. Multiple linear regression models were constructed from four predictor variables. Results Reliability was greater than 0.85 for all paired measures. Responses were elicited in all subjects; reference values for sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude from above elbow stimulation are 3.3 μV and decrement across-elbow less than 46%. No single predictor variable accounted for more than 15% of the variance in the response. Conclusion Electrophysiologic measures of the ulnar sensory nerve are reliable. Absent SNAP responses are inconsistent with disease free individuals. Reference values recommended in this report are based on appropriate transformations of non-normally distributed data. No strong statistical model of prediction could be derived from the limited set of predictor variables. Significance Reliability analyses combined with relatively low level of measurement error suggest that ulnar sensory reference values may be used with confidence.

Elle vise à en déterminer la fiabilité et les valeurs de références calculées sur base de méthodes statistiques adéquates, ainsi que la valeur prédictive de variables anthropométriques. Méthodes Des mesures des conductions nerveuses sensitives antidromiques du nerf ulnaire ont été réalisées au moyen d’électrodes de surface chez 100 sujets volontaires sains. Les valeurs de référence ont été déterminées sur base d’une transformation optimale de données non normalement distribuées. La fiabilité des mesures a été évaluée chez 30 sujets. Un modèle de régression multiple a été construit à partir de quatre variables anthropométriques prédictives. Résultats Le coefficient de fiabilité des réponses était supérieur à 0,85 pour toutes les mesures appariées. Des réponses furent obtenues chez tous les sujets. L’amplitude du potentiel d’action de nerf sensitif (PANS) était supérieure à 3,3 μV pour des mesures réalisées au-dessus du coude et le décrément d’amplitude de part et d’autre du coude était inférieur à 46 %. Aucune variable prédictive ne rendait compte à elle seule de plus de 15 % de la variance de la réponse. Conclusion Les mesures électrophysiologiques de la conduction sensitive du nerf ulnaire sont fiables. Le PANS n’est jamais absent chez un sujet non porteur de pathologie. Les valeurs de référence suggérées dans cet article ont été obtenues après transformation de données non normalement distribuées. Aucun modèle statistique fortement prédictif n’a pu être obtenu sur base de notre nombre limité de variables prédictives. Portée Notre analyse de reproductibilité combinée à un faible niveau des erreurs de mesure implique que nos valeurs de référence peuvent être utilisées de façon fiable pour évaluer les conductions sensitives du nerf ulnaire.

T1 - Additional U.S. collections of the Gulf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum (Acari: Ixodidae), from the State of Delaware, the first reported field collections of adult specimens from the State of Maryland, and data regarding this tick from surveillance of migratory songbirds in Maryland JO - Systematic & Applied Acarology JF - Systematic & Applied Acarology Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 19 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 257 EP - 262 SN - 13261975 AB - This report describes collections of the Gulf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum Koch (Ixodida: Ixodidae), made during 2013 at the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Delaware, and at two sites in Maryland: the Blackwater NWR and the Chester River Field Research Station (CRFRS). Ticks were collected via field drags, dry ice-baited traps, and/or from the human field researchers (collections of ticks crawling on clothing/boots) at Bombay Hook NWR and Blackwater NWR. A total of 21 A. maculatum were successfully collected at Bombay Hook NWR during May 28-30, 2013. Using a genus-specific quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay and species-specific qPCR assays, a single male was found to be positive for the presence of Rickettsia parkeri DNA (a spotted fever group rickettsia). The repeated collection of this species in the adult stage at Bombay Hook NWR, the relatively large number collected (n=21), along with its continuity of presence pre- and post-winter, indicate that an established population may now exist at Bombay Hook NWR. A single adult female was collected from a field drag at Blackwater NWR on June 18, 2013; this specimen was negative for the presence of Rickettsia spp. DNA (including R. parkeri DNA). An adult male was collected on a researcher at CRFRS on August 8, 2013; this specimen was found to be positive for R. parkeri DNA. This report also summarizes data from 2008 to 2010 for A. maculatum collected during mist netting surveillance of migratory songbirds by the Foreman's Branch Bird Observatory, located at CRFRS: a total of 104 immature A. maculatum were collected. The adult specimens of A. maculatum collected at Blackwater NWR and at CRFRS are regarded as representing the first documentation of adult field-collected A. maculatum within the state. Future sampling is needed at each location to determine if A. maculatum is firmly established, the prevalence of R. parkeri infection, and the epidemiological risk to humans.

The new performance test will provide a level of confidence that pavement constructed using a selected HMA mixture will function according to its design. This paper presents results from a laboratory study to identify a performance test for accepting hot asphalt mixtures for constructing airport pavements designed for high tire pressure traffic. Performance tests intended to indicate rutting susceptibility were performed on 34 HMA mixtures. Twenty-nine of these mixtures met all aggregate and volumetric property requirements for airport pavement construction; the remaining five mixtures were designed with excessive percentage of natural sand (30%) as rut-susceptible mixtures. Results from asphalt pavement analyzer (APA), triaxial static creep, and triaxial repeated load tests are presented. Statistical analyses performed on the results indicate that the rate of increase in permanent strain and the flow time value determined from triaxial static creep testing provide the strongest correlation to APA simulated traffic rutting.

JO - Appetite JF - Appetite Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 80 M3 - Article SP - 204 EP - 211 SN - 01956663 AB - High eating behavior self-efficacy may contribute to successful weight loss. Diet interventions that maximize eating behavior self-efficacy may therefore improve weight loss outcomes. However, data on the effect of diet composition on eating behavior self-efficacy are sparse. To determine the effects of dietary glycemic load (GL) on eating behavior self-efficacy during weight loss, body weight and eating behavior self-efficacy were measured every six months in overweight adults participating in a 12-mo randomized trial testing energy-restricted diets differing in GL. All food was provided during the first six months and self-selected thereafter. Total mean weight loss did not differ between groups, and GL-level had no significant effect on eating behavior self-efficacy. In the combined cohort, individuals losing the most weight reported improvements in eating behavior self-efficacy, whereas those achieving less weight loss reported decrements in eating behavior self-efficacy. Decrements in eating behavior self-efficacy were associated with subsequent weight regain when diets were self-selected. While GL does not appear to influence eating behavior self-efficacy, lesser amounts of weight loss on provided-food energy restricted diets may deter successful maintenance of weight loss by attenuating improvements in eating behavior self-efficacy.

JO - Energy JF - Energy Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 74 M3 - Article SP - 567 EP - 575 SN - 03605442 AB - The fragility of the modern electrical grid is exposed during random events such as storms, sporting events and often simply routine operation. Even with these obvious flaws large utilities and governments have been slow to create robust solutions due to the need of large capital investments required to address the issues. In this light creative economic and engineering solutions are desired to finance the needed upgrades. Driven by the requirement to have uninterrupted power that meets customers desires this research focuses on linking consumer preferences to a type of energy source in order to best fulfill stakeholder priorities. This approach is in contrast to the current and prevalent lowest cost methods to producing and consuming energy. This research yields a preliminary ‘micro-energy market’ that consists of an energy network architecture, pricing methodology and mathematical template which quantifies potential economic inefficiencies. If exploited these inefficiencies could be used to fund investment into various energy sources that provide unmet needs such as reduced carbon footprint, renewable, quality, and local production. These inefficiencies can be best exploited within the structure of a microgrid. Identification of opportunities on this smaller scale can provide an incentive for producers to develop a robust set of production facilities of varying size and characteristics to meet the consumer preferences. A stochastic optimization model of a microgrid implementation for a small military installation is used to evaluate the effects of this pricing methodology. The energy production of the resulting microgrid would be optimized to meet consumer preferences and minimize economic inefficiency.

This scenario is of particular concern in North American rivers with populations of ESA-listed salmon. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory released Sensor Fish into lower Snake and Columbia River turbines to determine the magnitude and rate of pressure change fish might experience. Recorded pressures were applied to simulated turbine passage (STP) in laboratory studies to determine the effect of rapid decompression on juvenile Chinook salmon. These STP studies have increased our understanding of how pressure effects fish passing through turbines and suggest that the ratio of pressure change [acclimation pressure (the depth upstream of the dam where fish are neutrally buoyant) divided by nadir pressure (lowest pressure)] is highly predictive in determining the effect on smolt survival. However, uncertainty remains in smolt acclimation depth prior to entering turbine intakes at hydroelectric facilities. The USACE continues to make progress on salmon survival and recovery efforts through continued research and by applying pressure study results to turbine design. Designing new turbines with higher nadir pressure criteria is likely to provide safer fish passage for all salmonid species experiencing turbine passage.

Numerical results were compared with free-flight and wind-tunnel experimental data for Mach numbers in the range of 0.5-4.5. The accuracy, efficiency, and dependence of these methods on various aerodynamic and numerical modeling parameters were investigated. The numerical methods generally showed good agreement with each other, except at some transonic Mach numbers. Both methods showed good to excellent agreement with experimental data in the high transonic and supersonic Mach regimes. In the subsonic and low transonic regimes, agreement between numerical and experimental data was less favorable. The accuracy of the free-flight test data in these regimes was uncertain due to instances of large scatter, large standard deviation errors, and different data sources showing significantly different results.

Two experiments tested whether this association influences relatively real-world decisions about others by asking participants to act as real estate agents, aiding in the relocation of clients who explicitly or implicitly varied in social status. Across experiments, higher status clients were placed into higher elevation housing options. This influence of social status persisted when strategy-aware participants were removed from analysis, and was not influenced by individual differences in social dominance or locus of control. Abstract concepts of social status are understood through associations with vertical space, and these mapping of abstract concepts to concrete percepts prove influential in guiding daily decisions.

Damage to such axonal projections suggests a particular vulnerability to functions requiring integration across cortical sites. To test this prediction, measurements were made of perceptual grouping, which requires integration of stimulus components. A group of traumatic brain injury and cerebral vascular accident patients and a group of age-matched healthy control subjects viewed arrays of dots and indicated the pattern into which stimuli were perceptually grouped. Psychophysical measurements were made of perceptual grouping as well as processing speed. The patient group showed elevated grouping thresholds as well as extended processing time. In addition, most patients showed progressive slowing of processing speed across levels of difficulty, suggesting reduced resources to accommodate increased demands on grouping. These results support the prediction that brain injury results in a particular vulnerability to functions requiring integration of information across the cortex, which may result from dysfunction of long-range axonal connection.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 56 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1113 EP - 1123 SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: This study investigated whether a stressful military training program, the 9- to 10-week U.S. Army basic combat training (BCT) course, alters the cognitive performance and mood of healthy young adult females. Background: Structured training programs including adolescent boot camps, sports training camps, learning enrichment programs, and military basic training are accepted methods for improving academic and social functioning. However, limited research is available on the behavioral effects of structured training programs in regard to cognitive performance and mood. Method: Two separate, within-subject studies were conducted with different BCT classes; in total 212 female volunteers were assessed before and after BCT. In Study 1, Four- Choice Reaction Time, Match-to-Sample, and Grammatical Reasoning tests were administered. The Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) was administered in Study 2. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was administered in both studies. Results: In Study 1, reaction time to correct responses on all three of the performance tests improved from preto post-BCT. In Study 2, PVT reaction time significantly improved. All POMS subscales improved over time in the second study, whereas POMS subscales in the first study failed to meet criteria for statistically significant differences over time. Conclusion: Cognition and mood substantially improved over military basic training. These changes may be a result of structured physical and mental training experienced during basic training or other factors not as yet identified. Application: Properly structured training may have extensive, beneficial effects on cognitive performance and mood; however, additional research is needed to determine what factors are responsible for such changes.

In addition, the study examined whether differences across these outcomes exist between combat veterans (n = 239) and noncombat veterans (n = 242). Rates of mental health problems among soldiers on this noncombat deployment were lower than rates typically found among soldiers on combat deployments. Furthermore, soldiers without previous combat experience had lower rates of mental health problems and aggression than combat veterans. Similar differences were evident when adjustment difficulties and unit climate variables were compared. Although combat veterans could be valuable in training new soldiers, the results of this study indicate that combat veterans may need more targeted resources to facilitate their adjustment if they are to be optimally utilized.

Such killings have decimated the leadership of these groups and disrupted their operations. However, there are collateral effects from UAV killings including civilian deaths. These deaths increase resentment and hatred toward the US, which is channeled by terrorist groups to recruit new members and for local support. Moreover, targeted killings outside a combat zone have political and diplomatic consequences. This paper argues that the current uses of UAV are legal under international and domestic law. However, it proposes amended targeting criteria, greater transparency and increased checks on the executive branch for future use of UAVs.

JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 261 M3 - Article SP - 101 EP - 111 SN - 03787753 AB - Abstract: The goal of this work is to develop a numerical model for the vibration of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery packs to enable probabilistic forced response simulations for the effects of variations. There are two important types of variations that affect their structural response significantly: the prestress that is applied when joining the cells within a pack; and the small, random structural property discrepancies among the cells of a battery pack. The main contributions of this work are summarized as follows. In order to account for these two important variations, a new parametric reduced order model (PROM) formulation is derived by employing three key observations: (1) the stiffness matrix can be parameterized for different levels of prestress, (2) the mode shapes of a battery pack with cell-to-cell variation can be represented as a linear combination of the mode shapes of the nominal system, and (3) the frame holding each cell has vibratory motion. A numerical example of an academic battery pack with pouch cells is presented to demonstrate that the PROM captures the effects of both prestress and structural variation on battery packs. The PROM is validated numerically by comparing full-order finite element models (FEMs) of the same systems.

JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2014/09// VL - 91 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 44 SN - 03783839 AB - Nourishment in the nearshore is becoming an increasingly utilized method for regional sediment management, particularly for dredged material that contains more fine sediment than the native beach. A nearshore berm was constructed at Fort Myers Beach, Florida, USA using mixed-sized sediment dredged from a nearby channel. The nearshore berm, which is the shallowest of its kind, was placed in water depths between 1.2 and 2.4 m with the berm crest just below the mean lower low water level. Based on time-series profiles surveyed from 2009 to 2013, the nearshore berm migrated onshore while the system was approaching a dynamic equilibrium. The distant passage of two tropical storms in the third year generated exceptionally high waves for the study area. Substantial profile change induced by the energetic conditions contributed to rapid evolution of the berm profiles toward equilibrium. Near the end of the fourth year, the berm profiles had returned to the equilibrium shape characteristic of the study area. Gaps in the berm allowed water circulation when the berm became emergent and watercraft access to the beach for recreational purposes. Gaps should be considered as a design parameter for future berm nourishments. Sediment samples collected and analyzed showed that the fine sediment content in the original placed material was selectively transported and deposited offshore, while the coarser component moved onshore. The dry beach maintained the same sediment properties throughout the study period and was not influenced by the fine sediment in the initial construction of the berm.

JO - International Journal for Numerical & Analytical Methods in Geomechanics JF - International Journal for Numerical & Analytical Methods in Geomechanics Y1 - 2014/08/25/ VL - 38 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1247 EP - 1275 SN - 03639061 AB - SUMMARY Recent analysis of data from triaxial tests on sand and discrete element simulations indicate the final pattern of failure is encoded in grain motions during the nascent stages of loading. We study vortices that are evident from grain displacements at the start of loading and bear a direct mathematical connection to boundary conditions, uniform continuum strain and shear bands. Motions of three grains in mutual contact, that is, 3-cycles, manifest vortices. In the initial stages of loading, 3-cycles initiate a rotation around a region Ω* where the shear band ultimately develops. This bias sets a course in 3-cycle evolution, determining where they will more likely collapse. A multiscale spatial analysis of 3-cycle temporal evolution provides quantitative evidence that the most stable, persistent 3-cycles degrade preferentially in Ω*, until essentially depleted when the shear band is fully formed. The transition towards a clustered distribution of persistent 3-cycles occurs early in the loading history-and coincides with the persistent localisation of vortices in Ω*. In 3D samples, no evidence of spatial clustering in persistent 3-cycle deaths is found in samples undergoing diffuse failure, while early clustering manifests in a sample that ultimately failed by strain localisation. This study not only delivered insights into the possible structural origins of vortices in dense granular systems but also a tool for the early detection of the mode of failure-localised versus diffuse-a sample will ultimately undergo.

Standard American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) tests were used to find the density, Poisson’s ratio, tensile, compressive and shear strengths, and the elastic and shear moduli of the material. The quasi-static punch shear and crush strength tests were used to find the punch shear and crush strengths of the material. LVI tests were conducted to obtain force versus time curves for various loading conditions. Ballistic testing was conducted using a right circular cylinder (RCC) to find the V50 ballistic limit and the depth of penetration of the RCC at various impact velocities. The experimental results of this investigation can be used for structural design and to validate numerical solutions for both LVI and ballistic impact events.

As part of this modeling effort, experimental micrographs of the composite specimen obtained from a previous experimental study1,2 are analyzed. In conjunction with these micrographs, model outcomes demonstrate the ability of warp weavers or through-thickness Z-yarns to shield inter-laminar cracks. Quasi-static indentation is modeled as a contact interaction between a rigid cylindrical indenter and a deformable S2-Glass/SC15 3D woven composite laminate using ABAQUS®. Tow elements are modeled as transversely isotropic elastic-plastic material entities, whereas the inter-tow matrix is modeled as an isotropic elastic-plastic material. Through-thickness failure modes are predicted based on the Tsai-Hill criterion. Contour maps of these failure modes point to the location and corresponding damage initiation mode within the material. Experimentally obtained micrographs1,2 are then analyzed on the basis of these contour maps, thereby serving to validate the modeling methodology. The effect of Z-yarns is demonstrated with the aid of two-dimensional plane strain linear elastic fracture mechanics analysis. Crack shielding abilities of the Z-yarns manifest as the variation of strain energy release rate as a function of crack length and location. In the vicinity of a Z-yarn, the energy release rate decreases precipitously, indicating the inability of the crack to penetrate the Z-yarns.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/08/19/ VL - 48 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 9478 EP - 9485 SN - 0013936X AB - Effective management of contaminated sediments is important for long-term human and environmental health, but site-management decisions are often made under high uncertainty and without the help of structured decision support tools. Potential trade-offs between remedial costs, environmental effects, human health risks, and societal benefits, as well as fundamental differences in stakeholder priorities, complicate decision making. Formal decision-analytic tools such as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) move beyond ad hoc decision support to quantitatively and holistically rank management alternatives and add transparency and replicability to the evaluation process. However, even the best decisions made under uncertainty may be found suboptimal in hindsight, once additional scientific, social, economic, or other details become known. Value of information (Vol) analysis extends MCDA by systematically evaluating the impact of uncertainty on a decision. Vol prioritizes future research in terms of expected decision relevance by helping decision makers estimate the likelihood that additional information will improve decision confidence or change their selection of a management plan. In this study, Vol analysis evaluates uncertainty, estimates decision confidence, and prioritizes research to inform selection of a sediment capping strategy for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan contaminated Grenland fjord system in southern Norway. The Vol model extends stochastic MCDA to model decisions with and without simulated new information and compares decision confidence across scenarios with different degrees of remaining uncertainty. Results highlight opportunities for decision makers to benefit from additional information by anticipating the improved decision confidence (or lack thereof) expected from reducing uncertainties for each criterion or combination of criteria. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of Vol analysis for environmental decisions by predicting when decisions can be made confidently, for prioritizing areas of research to pursue to improve decision confidence, and for differentiating between decision-relevant and decision-irrelevant differences in evaluation perspectives, all of which help guide meaningful deliberation toward effective consensus solutions.

T1 - Aerosol Vaccination with AERAS-402 Elicits Robust Cellular Immune Responses in the Lungs of Rhesus Macaques but Fails To Protect against High-Dose Mycobacterium tuberculosis Challenge. JO - Journal of Immunology JF - Journal of Immunology Y1 - 2014/08/15/ VL - 193 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1799 EP - 1811 SN - 00221767 AB - Development of a vaccine against pulmonary tuberculosis may require immunization strategies that induce a high frequency of Agspeciflc CD4 and CDS T cells in the lung. The nonhuman primate model is essential for testing such approaches because it has predictive value for how vaccines elicit responses in humans. In this study, we used an aerosol vaccination strategy to administer AERAS-402, a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus (rAd) type 35 expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ags Ag85A, Ag85B, and TB10.4, in bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-primed or unprimed rhesus macaques. Immunization with BCG generated low purified protein derivative-specific CD4 T cell responses in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage. In contrast, aerosolized AERAS-402 alone or following BCG induced potent and stable Ag85A/b-specific CD4 and CD8 effector T cells in bronchoalveolar lavage that largely produced IFN-γ, as well as TNF and IL-2. Such responses induced by BCG, AERAS-402, or both failed to confer overall protection following challenge with 275 CFUs M. tuberculosis Erdman, although vaccine-induced responses associated with reduced pathology were observed in some animals. Anamnestic T cell responses to Ag85A/b were not detected in blood of immunized animals after challenge. Overall, our data suggest that a high M. tuberculosis challenge dose may be a critical factor in limiting vaccine efficacy in this model. However, the ability of aerosol rAd immunization to generate potent cellular immunity in the lung suggests that using different or more immunogens, alternative rAd serotypes with enhanced immunogenicity, and a physiological challenge dose may achieve protection against M. tuberculosis.

The small amount of barrel material loss makes the cobalt-base alloy an excellent candidate for use as a gun liner. An unusual wear pattern resulting from this loss was observed near the muzzle. Elimination of chemical and thermal effects made a plausible explanation of the wear pattern possible.

JO - Chemical Geology JF - Chemical Geology Y1 - 2014/08/14/ VL - 381 M3 - Article SP - 180 EP - 193 SN - 00092541 AB - Increasing air temperatures in the Arctic have the potential to degrade permafrost and promote the downward migration of the seasonally thawed active layer into previously frozen material. This may expose frozen soils to mineral weathering that could affect the geochemical composition of surface waters. Determining watershed system responses to drivers such as a changing climate relies heavily on understanding seasonal controls on freshwater processes. The majority of studies on elemental concentrations in Arctic river systems have focused on sampling only from spring snowmelt to the summer season. Consequently, there remains a limited understanding of surface water geochemistry, particularly with respect to trace metals, during late fall and early winter. To examine the variability of metal concentrations as a function of seasonality, we measured trace metal concentrations from spring melt to fall freeze-up in 2010 in two high Arctic watersheds: Imnavait Creek, North Slope, Alaska and Roche Mountanee Creek, Brooks Range, Alaska. We focused on aluminum (Al), barium (Ba), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn). Concentrations of 'dissolved' (< 0.45 µm) Al, Ba, Fe, and Mn in Imnavait Creek waters and Ba in Roche Mountanee waters were highest in late fall/early winter. To link observed surface water concentrations at Imnavait Creek to parent soil material we analyzed the elemental composition of a soil core from the watershed and tracked the soil temperatures as a function of time and depth. The results from this study show a distinct seasonal signature of trace metal concentrations in late fall that correlates with the depth of the thawed active laye [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Chemical Geology is the property of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

However, economical methods to disperse nanoparticles in metals must be developed to reach this goal. In this work, MMNCs were synthesized from Al and CuOnp by reactive stir mixing followed by squeeze casting. Subsequently, the tensile properties of these materials were measured to determine the effect of the initial nanoparticle (NP) concentration of CuOnp on the exhibited tensile properties. Comparison of the MMNCs processed under the same conditions and tested in the as-cast condition shows an apparent increase in ultimate tensile strength (UTS), but little change in yield strength and ductility. Grain size was found to decrease with increasing CuOnp concentration. The MMNC behavior is compared to Al-Cu alloys in an attempt to shed light on the mechanisms responsible for the change in properties.

The DNase 1:Au8NCs exhibit blue fluorescence whereas the DNase 1:Au25NCs are red emitting. In addition to the intense fluorescence emission, the synthesized DNase 1:AuNC hybrid retains the native functionality of the protein, allowing simultaneous detection and digestion of DNA with a detection limit of 2 μg/mL. The DNase 1:AuNCs could be conveniently employed as efficient and fast sensors to augment the current time-consuming DNA contamination analysis techniques.

The sensor detected the changes of the surface- rather than the bulk- property and morphology of A36 during corrosion. Thus it was more sensitive than the conventional electrical resistance corrosion sensors. After being soaked in an aerated 0.2 M NaCl solution, the sensor's normalized electrical resistance (R/R0) decreased continuously from 1.0 to 0.74 with the extent of corrosion. Meanwhile, the sensor's normalized capacitance (C/C0) increased continuously from 1.0 to 1.46. X-ray diffraction result indicates that the iron rust on A36 had crystals of lepidocrocite and magnetite.

JO - Thin Solid Films JF - Thin Solid Films Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 564 M3 - Article SP - 284 EP - 293 SN - 00406090 AB - First-principles quantum molecular dynamics investigations of TiN(001)/AlN and ZrN(001)/AlN heterostructures with one and two monolayers (1 ML and 2 ML) of AlN interfacial layers were carried out in the temperature range of 0-1400K with subsequent static relaxation. It is shown that the epitaxially stabilized cubic B1-AlN interfacial layers are preserved in all TiN(001)/AlN heterostructures over the whole temperature range. In the ZrN(001)/AlN heterostructures, the B1-AlN(001) interfacial layer exists at 0K, but it transforms into a distorted one at 10K consisting of tetrahedral AlN4, octahedral AlN6, and AlN5 units. The thermal stability of the interfaces was investigated by studying the phonon dynamic stability of the B1-AlN phase with different lattice parameters. The calculations showed that the B1-AlN interface should be unstable in ZrN(001)/AlN heterostructures and nanocomposites, and in those based on transition metal nitrides with lattice parameters larger than 4.4Å. Electronic band structure calculations showed that energy gap forms around the Fermi energy for all interfaces. The formation of the interfacial AlN layer in TiN and ZrN crystals reduces their ideal tensile and shear strengths. Upon tensile load, decohesion occurs between Ti (Zr) and N atoms adjacent to the 1 ML AlN interfacial layer, whereas in the case of 2 ML AlN it occurs inside the TiN and ZrN slabs. The experimentally reported strength enhancement in the TiN/AlN and ZrN/AlN heterostructures is attributed to impeding effect of the interfacial layer on the plastic flow.

The fuel tested was Sasol IPK with a derived cetane number (DCN) of 31, treated with different percentages of Lubrizol 8090 cetane improver ranging from 0.1 to 0.4%. Tests were conducted under steady state conditions at a constant charging pressure of 21 bar. The charge air temperature before fuel injection varied from 778 to 848 K. Accordingly, all the tests were conducted under a constant charge density. The rate of heat release was calculated and analyzed in detail, particularly during the autoignition period. In addition, the physical and chemical delay periods were determined by comparing the results of two tests. The first was conducted with fuel injection into air according to ASTM standards where combustion occurred. In the second test, the fuel was injected into the chamber charged with nitrogen. The physical delay is defined as the period of time from start of injection (SOI) to point of inflection (POI), and the chemical delay is defined as the period of time from POI to start of combustion (SOC). Both the physical and chemical delay periods were determined under different charge temperatures. The cetane improver was found to have an effect only on the chemical ID period. In addition, the effect of the cetane improver on the apparent activation energy of the global combustion reactions was determined. The results showed a linear drop in the apparent activation energy with the increase in the percentage of the cetane improver. Moreover, the low temperature (LT) regimes were investigated and found to be presented in base fuel, as well as cetane improver treated fuels.

Social factors, specifically societal-level social capital, play a far more important role in explaining patterns of terrorist activity than previously recognized. Social capital can exert pressures that act as both restraint and catalyst for terrorism, making explicit exposition of these differential effects critical. Analysis shows that higher stocks of social capital positively correlate with the number of terrorist groups, but the average attack activity of those groups increase as measures of social capital decline. The complex relationship makes it difficult to draw simple policy implications, but it does offer insight into the role that social dynamics play in terrorist activity.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 52 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 36 EP - 41 SN - 01636804 AB - The proliferation of smart phones with sensing capabilities motivates exploring the applicability limits of (phone-based) mobile sensing. While a phone can directly measure variables such as location, acceleration, and orientation, other interesting quantities one may want to measure have higher-level semantics that a phone does not directly recognize. For example, one might want to map parking lots that are free after hours, or restaurants that are popular after midnight. How can we measure such higher-level logical quantities using sensors on phones? Techniques that address this question fall in the broad area of surrogate sensing, defined as inferring high-level logical quantities by measuring weaker surrogates. The surrogates in question are variables that can be sensed using a phone, but are only weakly related to the original high-level logical quantities one is really after. The key challenge is to exploit appropriate aggregation techniques that leverage the availability of large numbers of phones to overcome the poor quality of individual surrogates. Recently, significant advances have been made in understanding the quality limits of surrogate sensing. This article overviews the main ideas and insights underlying these advances.

Subsequently, standoff detection and localization of the scatterers in the presence of a half space is demonstrated with a subspace imaging procedure by exploiting the steady-state, multistatic harmonic scattering responses collected over an aspect-limited aperture. The attenuation rates of the harmonic scattered fields as a function of sensing range are investigated. The Green's function vector in the imaging functional is derived efficiently with the application of second-order-accurate asymptotic propagation techniques, and near-field imaging performance for single and multiple targets is also examined in the presence of noise and linear clutter. This study is intended to provide an analysis and simulation framework needed to facilitate the development of a complementary nonlinear detection capability for an existing near-ground, forward-looking linear imaging radar system.

JO - Forensic Science International JF - Forensic Science International Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 241 M3 - Article SP - 87 EP - 90 SN - 03790738 AB - Opiates are an important component for drug testing due to their high abuse potential. Proper urine opiate interpretation includes ruling out poppy seed ingestion; however, detailed elimination studies after controlled poppy seed administration with known morphine and codeine doses are not available. Therefore, we investigated urine opiate pharmacokinetics after controlled oral administration of uncooked poppy seeds with known morphine and codeine content. Participants were administered two 45 g oral poppy seed doses 8 h apart, each containing 15.7 mg morphine and 3 mg codeine. Urine was collected ad libitum up to 32 h after the first dose. Specimens were analyzed with the Roche Opiates II immunoassay at 2000 and 300 µg/L cutoffs, and the ThermoFisher CEDIA® heroin metabolite (6- acetylmorphine, 6-AM) and Lin-Zhi 6 - AM immunoassays with 10 µg/L cutoffs to determine if poppy seed ingestion could produce positive results in these heroin marker assays. In addition, all specimens were quantified for morphine and codeine by GC/MS. Participants ( N = 22 ) provided 391 urine specimens over 32 h following dosing; 26.6% and 83.4% were positive for morphine at 2000 and 300 µg/L GC/MS cutoffs, respectively. For the 19 subjects who completed the study, morphine concentrations ranged from <300 to 7522 µg/L with a median peak concentration of 5239 µg/L. The median first morphine-positive urine sample at 2000 µg/L cutoff concentration occurred at 6.6 h (1.2-12.1), with the last positive from 2.6 to 18 h after the second dose. No specimens were positive for codeine at a cutoff concentration of 2000 µg/L, but 20.2% exceeded 300 µg/L, with peak concentrations of 658 µg/L (284-1540). The Roche Opiates II immunoassay had efficiencies greater than 96% for the 2000 and 300 µg/L cutoffs. The CEDIA 6-AM immunoassay had a specificity of 91%, while the Lin-Zhi assay had no false positive results. These data provide valuable information for interpreting urine opiate results.

The model that we use to characterize targets and generate discrimination features relies on a solution of the inverse UXO problem using the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. Unlike other classification techniques, which often rely on library matching or expert knowledge, our combined clustering/Gaussian-mixture-model approach first uses the inherent properties of the data in feature space to build a custom training list that is then used to score all unknown targets by assigning them a likelihood of being UXO. The ground truth for the most likely candidates is then requested and used to correct the model parameters and reassign the scores. The process is repeated several times until the desired statistical margin is reached, at which point a final dig is produced. Our method could decrease intervention by human experts and, as the results of the blind test show, identify all targets of interest correctly while minimizing false-alarm counts.

The model assumes that the secondary magnetic field measured by a sensor originates from a set of magnetic dipole sources distributed over a volume that coincides with the interrogated area. The Green functions associated with the responding sources are turned into an orthonormal basis using a generalization of the Gram-Schmidt method, enabling one to determine the sources' strengths directly from measured data without having to invert large and potentially ill-conditioned matrices. The method treats multitarget cases naturally and robustly. Several examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the method in the discrimination of unexploded ordnance (UXO). In particular, we analyze data taken by the Time-Domain Electromagnetic Multisensor Towed Array Detection System sensor array at a test stand and during a blind test administered at a UXO live site. The method is highly successful in distinguishing UXO from among other UXO and from accompanying clutter.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 52 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 4808 EP - 4822 SN - 01962892 AB - In this paper, a novel discriminative dictionary learning method is proposed for sparse-representation-based classification (SRC) to label highly dimensional hyperspectral imagery (HSI). In SRC, a dictionary is conventionally constructed using all of the training pixels, which is not only inefficient due to the large size of typical HSI images but also ineffective in capturing class-discriminative information crucial for classification. We address the dictionary design problem with the inspiration from the learning vector quantization technique and propose a hinge loss function that is directly related to the classification task as the objective function for dictionary learning. The resulting online learning procedure systematically “pulls” and “pushes” dictionary atoms so that they become better adapted to distinguish between different classes. In addition, the spatial context for a test pixel within its local neighborhood is modeled using a Bayesian graph model and is incorporated with the sparse representation of a single test pixel in a unified probabilistic framework, which enables further refinement of our dictionary to capture the spatial class dependence that complements the spectral information. Experiments on different HSI images demonstrate that the dictionaries optimized using our method can achieve higher classification accuracy with substantially reduced dictionary size than using the whole training set. The proposed method also outperforms existing dictionary learning methods and attains the state-of-the-art results in both the spectral-only and spatial-spectral settings.

JO - Journal of Thermal Biology JF - Journal of Thermal Biology Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 44 M3 - Article SP - 20 EP - 26 SN - 03064565 AB - Heat strain experienced by motorsport athletes competing in National Association for Stock Car Automobile Racing (NASCAR) may be significant enough to impair performance or even result in a life-threatening accident. There is a need to carefully quantify heat strain during actual NASCAR race competitions in order to faithfully represent the magnitude of the problem and conceptualize future mitigation practices. The purpose of this investigation was to quantify the thermoregulatory and physiological strain associated with competitive stock car driving. Eight male stock car drivers (29.0±10.0 yr; 176.2±3.3 cm, 80.6±15.7 kg) participated in sanctioned stock car races. Physiological measurements included intestinal core (Tc) and skin (Tsk) temperatures, heart rate (HR), blood pressure, and body mass before and after completion of the race. Pre-race Tc was 38.1±0.1 °C which increased to 38.6±0.2 °C post-race (p=0.001). Tsk increased from 36.1±0.2 °C pre-race to 37.3±0.3 °C post-race (p=0.001) whereas the core-to-skin temperature gradient decreased from a pre-race value of 2.0±0.3 °C to 1.3±0.3 °C post-race (p=0.005). HRs post-race were 80±0.1% of the drivers' age-predicted maximum HR. Physiological Strain Index (PSI) post-race was 4.9, which indicates moderate strain. Drivers' thermal sensation based on the ASHRAE Scale increased from 1.3±0.5 to 2.8±0.4, and their perception of exertion (RPE) responses also increased from 8.4±1.6 to 13.9±1.8 after competition. Heat strain associated with competitive stock car racing is significant. These findings suggest the need for heat mitigation practices and provide evidence that motorsport should consider strategies to become heat acclimatized to better meet the thermoregulatory and cardiovascular challenges of motorsport competition.

However, the neural underpinnings of these abnormalities are incompletely understood. Methods Responses of a network of brain regions known to be involved in self and other processing (e.g., medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and superior temporal gyrus (STG)) were measured during SR in 16 first-degree, non-psychotic relatives (RELS) of schizophrenia patients and 16 healthy controls (CONS). Because of prior evidence linking dysfunction in this network and delusions, associations between SR-related responses of this network and subclinical delusions (measured using the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory) were also examined. Results Compared with CONS, RELS showed significantly less SR-related activity of the right and left PCC and STG. Moreover, response magnitudes were negatively correlated with levels of delusional thinking across both groups. Conclusions These findings suggest that aberrant function of the neural circuitry underpinning SR is associated with the genetic liability to schizophrenia and confers vulnerability to delusional beliefs.

JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 259 M3 - Article SP - 276 EP - 281 SN - 03787753 AB - Abstract: A number of fuel cell systems have been recently developed to meet the U.S. Army's soldier power requirements. The operation and performance of these systems are discussed based on laboratory results and limited soldier evaluation. The systems reviewed are primarily intended for soldier use in an austere environment with minimum access to resupply and vehicular transportation. These applications require high power and energy density sources that are portable (300 W) and wearable (20 W) to minimize the soldier's load burden. Based on soldier field evaluations of portable fuel cell systems, improvements in power density and compatibility with logistical fuels are required to be successfully deployed. For soldier worn applications, a novel chemical hydride system has shown significant advances in power and energy density while maintaining a small form factor. The use of a high energy dense fuel cartridge (800 Wh kg−1) based on AlH3 (Alane) thermolysis, allows a power density of (28 W kg−1) which offers promising weight savings compared to the standard military batteries.

Participants were drawn from an ongoing longitudinal study of injury in young children recruited from 3 to 6 years of age. They constituted three groups: orthopedic injury (OI; n=92), complicated mild/moderate TBI (mTBI; n=55); and severe TBI (sTBI; n=20). Caregivers completed the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), as well as ratings of behavioral adjustment, adaptive functioning, and everyday executive function at 1, 6, 12, and 18 months postinjury. Retrospective ratings of preinjury sleep and psychosocial functioning were obtained at the initial assessment. Children completed neuropsychological testing at all occasions. Children with complicated mTBI demonstrated more total sleep problems than children with OI at 6 months postinjury, but not at 12 or 18 months. Children with sTBI displayed more bedtime resistance and shorter sleep duration than those with complicated mTBI or OI at several occasions. Across groups, total sleep problems predicted more emotional and behavioral problems and worse everyday executive function as rated by parents across follow-up occasions. In contrast, sleep problems were generally not related to neuropsychological test performance. The results suggest that young children with TBI demonstrate more sleep problems than children with injuries not involving the head. Sleep problems, in turn, significantly increase the risk of poor psychosocial outcomes across time, but are not associated with worse neuropsychological test performance.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2014/07/15/ VL - 88 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 7715 EP - 7726 SN - 0022538X AB - The RV144 ALVAC/AIDSVax HIV-1 vaccine clinical trial showed an estimated vaccine efficacy of 31.2%. Viral genetic analysis identified a vaccine-induced site of immune pressure in the HIV-1 envelope (Env) variable region 2 (V2) focused on residue 169, which is included in the epitope recognized by vaccinee-derived V2 monoclonal antibodies. The ALVAC/AIDSVax vaccine induced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against the Env V2 and constant 1 (C1) regions. In the presence of low IgA Env antibody levels, plasma levels of ADCC activity correlated with lower risk of infection. In this study, we demonstrate that C1 and V2 monoclonal antibodies isolated from RV144 vaccinees synergized for neutralization, infectious virus capture, and ADCC. Importantly, synergy increased the HIV-1 ADCC activity of V2 monoclonal antibody CH58 at concentrations similar to that observed in plasma of RV144 vaccinees. These findings raise the hypothesis that synergy among vaccine-induced antibodies with different epitope specificities contributes to HIV-1 antiviral antibody responses and is important to induce for reduction in the risk of HIV-1 transmission.

The π–πinteractions and Coulombic forces between bound and unbound ML complexeshold the ML-rich phase together and result in improved mechanicalproperties over polymers containing only the bound ML complexes. TheML-rich phase formed ordered, cylindrical domains. The storage modulus,surface elastic modulus, and high temperature stability of these metallopolymersincreased with increasing concentration of ML complex in the polymerwhile an optimal concentration and morphology are necessary to improvethe strength and creep resistance of the polymer. Ultimately, thesuccessful addition and patterning of unbound ML complexes as a hardphase in a polymer matrix provides an important template for the designof a new type of supramolecular nanocomposite.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 69 M3 - Article SP - 95 EP - 103 SN - 0734743X AB - Abstract: Tailored cementitious materials, such as Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC), may significantly improve the blast resistance of structural panels. To understand and quantify the performance of UHPC panels subject to blast loading, four 1626- by 864- by 51-mm UHPC panels without steel rebar reinforcement were subjected to reflected impulse loads between 0.77 and 2.05 MPa-ms. The UHPC material was composed of a commercially available UHPC premix, high-range water reducing agent, 2% volume fraction of straight, smooth 14-mm-long by 0.185-mm-diameter fibers, and water. Experimental results determined that the UHPC panel fractured at a reflected impulse between 0.97 and 1.47 MPa-ms. These results were used to validate a multiscale model which accounts for structure and phenomena at two length scales: a multiple fiber length scale and a structural length scale. Within the multiscale model, a hand-shaking scheme conveys the energy barrier threshold and dissipated energy density from the model at the multiple fiber length scale to the model at the structural length scale. Together, the models at the two length scales account for energy dissipation through granular flow of the matrix, frictional pullout of the fibers, and friction between the interfaces. The simulated displacement and fracture patterns generated by the multiscale model are compared to experimental observations. This work is significant for three reasons: (1) new experimental data provide an upper and lower bound to the blast resistance of UHPC panels, (2) the multiscale model simulates the experimental results using readily available material properties and information regarding mesostructure attributes at two different length scales, and (3) by incorporating information from multiple length scales, the multiscale model can facilitate the design of UHPC materials to resist blast loading in ways not accessible using single length scale models.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 48 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 747 EP - 757 SN - 02786826 AB - A new primary standard method for calibrating optical particle counters (OPC) has been developed based on quantitative gravitational deposition on a silicon wafer and accurate counting of the particles by a wafer surface scanner (WSS). The test aerosol consists of 3-μm diameter monodisperse polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres at concentrations in the range of 0.1 cm−3to 1 cm−3. A key element to the calibration is the ability to generate monodisperse PSL spheres without residue particles by use of a virtual impactor and differential mobility analyzer. The use of these devices reduced the percentage of residue particles from more than 99.98% to about 5%. The expanded relative uncertainty (95% confidence level) in the number concentration determined with a WSS for a deposition of 200 particles is 17.8%. The major uncertainty component arises from the Poisson fluctuations in the aerosol concentration because of the low concentration. This methodology has advantages of a fast scanning time by the WSS of minutes compared to hours or days by microscopy and of counting every particle deposited compared to often only a small fraction via microscopy. The WSS was used in the calibration of an OPC based on 12 depositions with concentrations ranging from 0.1 cm−3to 1 cm−3for each deposition. Make-up air was added to the aerosol entering the OPC so that the lowest achievable concentration for the OPC measurement is about 0.01 cm−3in this study. The detection efficiency of the OPC was measured to be 0.984 with an expanded uncertainty of 13.4%.

JO - Ophthalmology JF - Ophthalmology Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 121 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1389 EP - 1397 SN - 01616420 AB - Purpose: To determine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) gene with development of chronic ocular surface inflammation (keratoconjunctivitis) after refractive surgery. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Participants: Active duty U.S. Army soldiers (n = 143) who opted for refractive surgery. Methods: Conjunctival impression cytology samples collected from participants before the surgery were used to harvest DNA for genotyping 5 THBS1 SNPs (rs1478604, rs2228262, rs2292305, rs2228262, and rs3743125) using the Sequenom iPLEX Gold platform (Sequenom, San Diego, CA). Samples collected after surgery were used to harvest RNA for gene expression analysis by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Participants were followed for 1 year after surgery to monitor the status of keratoconjunctivitis. Main Outcome Measures: Genetic basis of the development of chronic keratoconjunctivitis after refractive surgery. Results: Carriers of minor alleles of 3 SNPs each were found to be more susceptible to developing chronic keratoconjunctivitis (rs1478604: odds ratio [OR], 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-4.47; P = 2.5x10-3; rs2228262 and rs2292305: OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.05-3.51; P = 4.8x 10-2). Carriers of the rs1478604 minor allele expressed significantly reduced levels of thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) (P = 0.042) and increased levels of an inflammatory cytokine associated with keratoconjunctivitis, interleukin-1β (P = 0.025), in their ocular surface epithelial cells compared with homozygous major allele controls. Conclusions: Genetic variation in the THBS1 gene that results in decreased expression of the encoded glycoprotein TSP1 in ocular surface epithelial cells significantly increases the susceptibility to develop chronic ocular surface inflammation after refractive surgery. Further investigation of THBS1 SNPs in a larger sample size is warranted.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 307 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - R1 EP - R10 SN - 03636119 AB - Insulin controls hyperglycemia after severe burns, and its use opposes the hypermetabolic response. The underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood, and previous research in this area has been limited because of the inadequacy of animal models to mimic the physiological effects seen in humans with burns. Using a recently published rat model that combines both burn and disuse components, we compare the effects of insulin treatment vs. vehicle on glucose tolerance, hypermetabolic response, muscle loss, and circadian-metabolic protein expression after burns. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three groups: cage controls (n = 6); vehicle-treated burn and hindlimb unloading (VBH; n = 11), and insulin-treated burn and hindlimb unloading (IBH; n = 9). With the exception of cage controls, rats underwent a 40% total body surface area burn with hindlimb unloading, then IBH rats received 12 days of subcutaneous insulin injections (5 units·kg-1·day-1), and VBH rats received an equivalent dose of vehicle. Glucose tolerance testing was performed on day 14, after which blood and tissues were collected for analysis. Body mass loss was attenuated by insulin treatment (VBH = 265 ± 17 g vs. IBH = 283 ± 14 g, P = 0.016), and glucose clearance capacity was increased. Soleus and gastrocnemius muscle loss was decreased in the IBH group. Insulin receptor substrate-1, AKT, FOXO-1, caspase-3, and PER1 phosphorylation was altered by injury and disuse, with levels restored by insulin treatment in almost all cases. Insulin treatment after burn and during disuse attenuated the hypermetabolic response, increased glucose clearance, and normalized circadian-metabolic protein expression patterns. Therapies aimed at targeting downstream effectors may provide the beneficial effects of insulin without hypoglycemic risk.

JO - Physiological Reports JF - Physiological Reports Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 2 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 2051817X AB - Obesity is often characterized by chronic inflammation that may contribute to increased cardiovascular risk via sympathoexcitation and decreased vasodilator responsiveness. We hypothesized that obese individuals would have greater indices of inflammation compared with lean controls, and that cyclooxygenase inhibition using ibuprofen would reduce muscle sympathetic nerve activity ( MSNA) and increase forearm blood flow in these subjects. We measured MSNA, inflammatory biomarkers ( C-reactive protein [ CRP] and Interleukin-6 [ IL-6]), and forearm vasodilator responses to brachial artery acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside in 13 men and women (7 lean; 6 obese) on two separate study days: control ( CON) and after 800 mg ibuprofen ( IBU). CRP (1.7 ± 0.4 vs. 0.6 ± 0.3 mg/L; P < 0.05) and IL-6 (4.1 ± 1.5 vs. 1.0 ± 0.1pg/mL; P < 0.05) were higher in the obese group during CON and tended to decrease with IBU (IL-6: P < 0.05; CRP: P = 0.14). MSNA was not different between groups during CON (26 ± 4 bursts/100 heart beats (lean) versus 26 ± 4 bursts/100 heart beats (obese); P = 0.50) or IBU (25 ± 4 bursts/100 heart beats (lean) versus 30 ± 5 bursts/100 heart beats (obese); P = 0.25), and was not altered by IBU. Forearm vasodilator responses were unaffected by IBU in both groups. In summary, an acute dose of ibuprofen did not alter sympathetic nerve activity or forearm blood flow responses in healthy obese individuals, suggesting that the cyclooxygenase pathway is not a major contributor to these variables in this group.

In a first step, elongated particles with an axially stacked lamellae structure are selectively prepared by utilizing functional surfactants to control the phase separation of symmetric polystyrene- b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS- b-P2VP) in dispersed droplets. In a second step, the dynamic shape change is realized by cross-linking the P2VP domains, thereby connecting glassy PS discs with pH-sensitive hydrogel actuators.

First, the fundamental frequency generated by the main rotor blades of a rotorcraft was tracked using a fixed-lag smoother. Then, the frequency estimates were used to resample the data using interpolation. Next, the motion-compensated data were further focused using a technique based upon the phase gradient autofocus (PGA) algorithm. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics due to focusing the data. For most of the data, the algorithm focused the harmonics between approximately 10-90 Hz to within 1-2 dB of an estimated upper bound (UB) obtained from conservation of energy and estimates of the Doppler shift. In addition, the algorithm was able to separate two closely spaced frequencies in the spectra of the rotorcraft. The algorithm developed can be used to preprocess data for classification, nulling, and tracking algorithms.

In this discussion, we analyze the previously published data in combination with our own results to propose a more reasonable chemical structure that consists of short -Sx- chains covalently bonded onto cyclized, partially dehydrogenated, and ribbon-like polyacrylonitrile backbones. The proposed structure fits all previous structural characterizations and explains many unique electrochemical phenomena that were observed from the Li/SPAN cells but have not been understood clearly.

JO - Computer Physics Communications JF - Computer Physics Communications Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 185 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1987 EP - 1998 SN - 00104655 AB - Abstract: A parallel implementation of the Shardlow splitting algorithm (SSA) for Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulations is presented. The isothermal and isoenergetic SSA implementations are compared to the DPD version of the velocity-Verlet integrator in terms of numerical stability and performance. The integrator stability is assessed by monitoring temperature, pressure and total energy for both the standard and ideal DPD fluid models. The SSA requires special consideration due to its recursive nature resulting in more inter-processor communication as compared to traditional DPD integrators. Nevertheless, this work demonstrates that the SSA exhibits stability over longer time steps that justify its regular use in parallel, multi-core applications. For the computer architecture used in this study, a factor of 10–100 speedup is achieved in the overall time-to-solution for isoenergetic DPD simulations and a 15–34 speedup is achieved for the isothermal DPD simulations.

Thus, it is important to understand how various test techniques are affected by expected experimental errors. Here, a semi-analytical method based on the concept of condition number is explored for systematic investigation of the sensitivity of spherical indentation to experimental errors. The method is employed to investigate the reliability of various possible spherical indentation protocols, providing a ranking of the selected data reduction protocols from least to most sensitive to experimental errors. Explicit Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis is employed to provide further insight of selected protocol, supporting the ranking. The results suggest that the proposed method for estimating the sensitivity to experimental errors is a useful tool. Moreover, in the case of spherical indentation, the experimental errors must be very small to give reliable material properties.

Specifically, anisotropic grain boundaries are simulated via the use of surface energies and binding energies; the former attributable to the variation in grain orientation and assigned through a mapping process involving Wuljf plots. The secondary, amorphous phase is randomly assigned to the lattice in accordance with a specified initial volume fraction. Among other findings, the results reveal that the grain boundary surface energy, as governed by the shape of the Wulff plot, plays a critical role in the resulting microstructure. Additionally, it was found that the addition of a secondary amorphous phase to an existing anisotropic grain boundary system evolves into primary grain microstructures characteristic of single phase isotropic systems.

In a first step, elongated particles with an axially stacked lamellae structure are selectively prepared by utilizing functional surfactants to control the phase separation of symmetric polystyrene- b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS- b-P2VP) in dispersed droplets. In a second step, the dynamic shape change is realized by cross-linking the P2VP domains, thereby connecting glassy PS discs with pH-sensitive hydrogel actuators.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 52 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4404 EP - 4423 SN - 01962892 AB - Sparsity-based unmixing algorithms, exploiting the sparseness property of the abundances, have recently been proposed with promising performances. However, these algorithms are developed for the linear mixture model (LMM), which cannot effectively handle the nonlinear effects. In this paper, we extend the current sparse regression methods for the LMM to bilinear mixture models (BMMs), where the BMMs introduce additional bilinear terms in the LMM in order to model second-order photon scattering effects. To solve the abundance estimation problem for the BMMs, we propose to perform a sparsity-based abundance estimation by using two dictionaries: a linear dictionary containing all the pure endmembers and a bilinear dictionary consisting of all the possible second-order endmember interaction components. Then, the abundance values can be estimated from the sparse codes associated with the linear dictionary. Moreover, to exploit the spatial data structure where the adjacent pixels are usually homogeneous and are often mixtures of the same materials, we first employ the joint-sparsity (row-sparsity) model to enforce structured sparsity on the abundance coefficients. However, the joint-sparsity model is often a strict assumption, which might cause some aliasing artifacts for the pixels that lie on the boundaries of different materials. To deal with this problem, the low-rank-representation model, which seeks the lowest rank representation of the data, is further introduced to better capture the spatial data structure. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms provide much enhanced performance compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.

A model composed of motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, implicit leadership, organizational commitment, general cognitive ability, and personality was proposed. Results from a longitudinal examination of 1,232 officer candidates suggest partial support for the model, and limited evidence for enlisted experience as a moderator. Candidate personality (partially mediated by interest in leadership and leadership self-efficacy) best predicted leadership performance during OCS and peer ratings of leadership potential. Implications for OCS selection and models of leadership performance are discussed.

Thirty-nine competencies were identified and categorized into 4 training-oriented clusters: leadership skills, operational skills, personal capabilities, and knowledge base. Participants reported their preferred methods to develop the competencies within each cluster. The competencies can be used to assess training effectiveness and to identify potential training gaps. Additionally, the model has utility outside of the military, as it describes a framework for leaders who must bridge the gap between organizational and strategic leadership.

It needs to identify and develop individuals who can adapt to many different mission types and to the various environments in which the Army operates, develop the strategic and tactical leadership skills necessary to perform effectively in higher ranks, and embrace the Army's warrior ethos. To create a performance-based foundation for accessing, assigning, training, and retaining officers, we conducted a job analysis study. Using Army doctrine, protocol, training manuals, and input from a number of Army officers, we identified 46 leader and management major duties that officers must perform with a high level of competence. The list is intended to be relevant for all Army officer positions and levels up to lieutenant colonel, though the relative importance of and time spent on specific duties varies by level, position, branch, and mission. We also identified 55 stable individual difference attributes and attitudes that underlie the determinants of officer performance and retention. We framed our study according to 2 models of job performance, 1 specifying the determinants of job performance and the other specifying the major components of job performance. The integrated models provide a theoretical basis for designing personnel systems or interventions to impact specific components of officer performance and for predicting their likely outcomes.

In this work, the authors evaluate methods of handling sharp corners with strand grids through combinations of strand vector smoothing, multiple strands emanating from a single surface node, and telescoping Cartesian refinement into corner regions of the near-body grid. A new discretization strategy is introduced to better tolerate mesh skewness induced by strand smoothing. These approaches are tested for unsteady, laminar, and high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows. For standard viscous high-aspect-ratio grids, smoothed strands with telescoping Cartesian refinement provide the most accurate results with the least complexity. Mesh discontinuities associated with the use of multiple strands at sharp corners produce more error than with smoothed strands. With both strand approaches -- vector smoothing and multiple strands -- targeted Cartesian refinement is critical to capture features near sharp corners that strand grids alone are too coarse to capture.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 88 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 7294 EP - 7306 SN - 0022538X AB - Budding of filoviruses, arenaviruses, and rhabdoviruses is facilitated by subversion of host proteins, such as Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase, by viral PPxY late (L) budding domains expressed within the matrix proteins of these RNA viruses. As L domains are important for budding and are highly conserved in a wide array of RNA viruses, they represent potential broad-spectrum targets for the development of antiviral drugs. To identify potential competitive blockers, we used the known Nedd4WWdomain-PPxY interaction interface as the basis of an in silico screen. Using PPxY-dependent budding of Marburg (MARV) VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) as our model system, we identified small-molecule hit 1 that inhibited Nedd4-PPxY interaction and PPxY-dependent budding. This lead candidate was subsequently improved with additional structure-activity relationship (SAR) analog testing which enhanced antibudding activity into the nanomolar range. Current lead compounds 4 and 5 exhibit on-target effects by specifically blocking the MARV VP40 PPxY-host Nedd4 interaction and subsequent PPxY-dependent egress of MARV VP40 VLPs. In addition, lead compounds 4 and 5 exhibited antibudding activity against Ebola and Lassa fever VLPs, as well as vesicular stomatitis and rabies viruses (VSV and RABV, respectively). These data provide target validation and suggest that inhibition of the PPxY-Nedd4 interaction can serve as the basis for the development of a novel class of broad-spectrum, host-oriented antivirals targeting viruses that depend on a functional PPxY L domain for efficient egress.

The pillar indentation modulus and hardness are measured ex situ as-fabricated, in situ during lithiation at two different potentials (or stages of lithiation, 50 mV and 10 mV), and in situ after delithiation at 2 V. The measured modulus of the pristine amorphous silicon nanopillars was 74.7 ± 12.1 GPa. The hardness of the pristine pillars depended on depth and the contact conditions. In general, the mechanical properties of the nanopillars decreased with increased degrees of lithiation and only partially recovered upon delithiation. The inability of the silicon to recover the as fabricated mechanical properties indicates overall degradation of the pillar during only one lithiation–delithiation cycle, which could only be directly measured in situ using the employed atomic force microscopy based technique.

JO - Journal of Power Sources JF - Journal of Power Sources Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 257 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 03787753 AB - Combining several existing lumped-parameter models, this paper presents an electro-thermal model for cylindrical batteries. The model consists of two sub-models, an equivalent-circuit electrical model and a two-state thermal model which are coupled through heat generation and temperature dependence of the electrical parameters. The computationally efficient 5-state model captures the state of charge (SOC), terminal voltage, surface temperature and the often neglected core temperature of a battery for wide range of operating conditions. The proposed parameterization scheme allows separate identification of the electric and thermal sub-models, greatly reducing the complexity of the parameterization process. The methodology is applied to a LiFePO4/graphite battery. Comparison with the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data clarifies the frequency range of the model fidelity. The model is further validated with two drive-cycle tests, covering SOC range 25%–100%, temperature 5 °C–38 °C, and maximum C-rate of 22C.

Model construction employs an information passing paradigm to span from the atomistic level to the continuum level. Simulation methods in the overall hierarchy include density functional theory, molecular statics, molecular dynamics, dislocation dynamics, and continuum based approaches. Given the nature of the subcontinuum simulations upon which the strength model is based, the model is particularly appropriate to strain rates in excess of 104 s-1. Strength model parameters are obtained entirely from the hierarchy of simulation methods to obtain a full strength model in a range of loading conditions that so far has been inaccessible to direct measurement of material strength. Model predictions compare favorably with relevant high energy density physics (HEDP) experiments that have bearing on material strength. The model is used to provide insight into HEDP experimental observations and to make predictions of what might be observable using dynamic x-ray diffraction based experimental methods.

The suspension is deposited into a 'target well' and nanoparticles are delivered to the passive via fluidic self-assembly, resulting in inductor and capacitor value improvements. The universality of this approach has been demonstrated through the fabrication and testing of both MEMS inductors and capacitors on a single substrate, which would otherwise be fabrication-intense using traditional fabrication methods. This approach has demonstrated inductance improvements of 45% up to 500 MHz with roll-off in quality factor past 225 MHz after wicking of a NiFe2O4 nanoparticle core. In addition, capacitance was increased 400% and 600% after wicking of BaTiO3 nanoparticles/polymer composite into 1- and 2-mm-long capacitor constructs, respectively.

Despite its broad tropism, chicken cells were reported 30 years ago to resist infection. We found that Lassa virus readily engaged its cell-surface receptor α-dystroglycan in avian cells, but virus entry in susceptible species involved a pH-dependent switch to an intracellular receptor, the lysosome-resident protein LAMP1. Iterative haploid screens revealed that the sialyltransferase ST3GAL4 was required for the interaction of the virus glycoprotein with LAMP1. A single glycosylated residue in LAMP1, present in susceptible species but absent in birds, was essential for interaction with the Lassa virus envelope protein and subsequent infection. The resistance of Lamp1-deficient mice to Lassa virus highlights the relevance of this receptor switch in vivo.

The method can potentially store information indefinitely. Initially the high permeability bits were 10–50μm wide lines of sputtered permalloy (Ni81Fe19) on a glass substrate. In a second writing technique a continuous film of amorphous, high permeability ferromagnetic Metglas (Fe78Si13B9) was sputtered onto a similar glass substrate. Low permeability, crystalline 50μm wide lines were then written in the film by laser heating. Both types of written media were read by applying an external probe field that is locally modified by the permeability of each bit. The modifications in the probe field were read by a nearby set of 10 micron wide magnetic tunnel junctions with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 45dB. This large response to changes in bit permeability is not altered after the media has been exposed to a 6400Oe field. While being immediately applicable for data archiving and secure information storage, higher densities are possible with smaller read and write heads.

Sound sources included rock fracturing by a hydraulic cutterhead dredge and six distinct sources associated with a mechanical backhoe dredging operation during rock excavation. To place sound emitted from these dredges in perspective with other anthropogenic sounds, recordings were also made of several deep-draft commercial vessels. Results are presented as sound pressure levels (SPLs) in one-third octave versus range across the 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency band. To address concerns for protection of fishery resource occupying the harbor, SPL were examined at frequency bands of 50-1000 Hz and 100-400 Hz, the ranges where the majority of fishes without hearing specializations detect sound and the range of greatest sensitivity, respectively. Source levels (dB re 1 µPa-1 m rms) were back calculated using fitted regression (15LogR). The strongest sound sources (180-188.9 dB) were emitted by commercial shipping. Rock fracturing produced a source level of 175 dB, whereas six distinct sources associated with rock excavation had source levels ranging from 164.2 to 179.4 dB re 1 µPa-1 m (rms).

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 135 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 3231 EP - 3242 SN - 00014966 AB - Acoustic pulse propagation in outdoor urban environments is a physically complex phenomenon due to the predominance of reflection, diffraction, and scattering. This is especially true in non-line-of-sight cases, where edge diffraction and high-order scattering are major components of acoustic energy transport. Past work by Albert and Liu [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 127, 1335-1346 (2010)] has shown that many of these effects can be captured using a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method, which was compared to the measured data recorded in an army training village. In this paper, a full three-dimensional analysis of acoustic pulse propagation is presented. This analysis is enabled by the adaptive rectangular decomposition method by Raghuvanshi, Narain and Lin [IEEE Trans. Visual. Comput. Graphics 15, 789-801 (2009)], which models sound propagation in the same scene in three dimensions. The simulation is run at a much higher usable bandwidth (nearly 450 Hz) and took only a few minutes on a desktop computer. It is shown that a three-dimensional solution provides better agreement with measured data than two-dimensional modeling, especially in cases where propagation over rooftops is important. In general, the predicted acoustic responses match well with measured results for the source/sensor locations.

JO - Computers & Geosciences JF - Computers & Geosciences Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 67 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 39 SN - 00983004 AB - Abstract: This manuscript presents a novel algorithm to automatically detect landslide movement in a forested area using displacements of tree trunks distributed across the landslide surveyed repeatedly using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). Common landslide monitoring techniques include: inclinometers, global position system (GPS), and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). While these techniques provide valuable data for monitoring landslides, they can be difficult to apply with adequate spatial or temporal resolution needed to understand complex landslides, specifically in forested environments. Comparison of the center coordinates (determined via least-squares fit of the TLS data) of a cross section of the tree trunk between consecutive surveys enable quantification of landslide movement rates, which can be used to analyze patterns of landslide displacement. The capabilities of this new methodology were tested through a case-study analyzing the Johnson Creek Landslide, a complex, quick moving coastal landslide, which has proven difficult to monitor using other techniques. A parametric analysis of fitting thresholds was also conducted to determine the reliability of tree trunk displacements calculated and the number of features that were extracted. The optimal parameters in selecting trees for movement analysis were found to be less than 1.5cm for the RMS residuals of the circle fit and less than 1.0cm for the difference in the calculated tree radii between epochs.

Before wide-scale field use of these injectable transmitters, standard protocols to ensure the most effective and least damaging methods of implantation must be developed. Three implantation methods were tested in various sizes of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha). Methods included a needle bevel-down injection, a needle bevel-up injection with a 90Ã?° rotation, and tag implantation through an unsutured incision. Tagged fish were compared to untagged control groups. Weight and wound area were measured at tagging and every week for 3 weeks; holding tanks were checked daily for mortalities and tag losses. No significant differences among treatments were found in tag loss, or survival, but wound area was significantly reduced among fish tagged via an incision and growth was slightly reduced in bevel down fish. Although there were no significant differences, the bevel-up injection trended toward having the worst results in terms of tag loss and wound area and had high mortality. Implantation through an incision resulted in the lowest tag loss but the highest mortality. Fish from the bevel-down treatment group had the least mortality and smaller wound areas than the bevel-up treatment group but also showed reduced growth. Cumulatively, the data suggest that the unsutured incision and bevel-down injection methods were the most effective; the drawbacks of both methods are described in detail.

JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 154 M3 - Article SP - 152 EP - 164 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: We introduce a method for hydro turbine biological performance assessment (BioPA) to bridge the gap between field and laboratory studies on fish injury and turbine engineering design. Using this method, a suite of biological performance indicators is computed based on simulated data from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a proposed hydro turbine design. Each performance indicator is a measure of the probability of exposure to a certain dose of an injury mechanism. If the relationship between the dose of an injury mechanism (stressor) and frequency of injury (dose–response) is known from laboratory or field studies, the likelihood of fish injury for a turbine design can be computed from the performance indicator. By comparing the values of the indicators from various turbine designs, engineers and biologists can identify the more-promising designs and operating conditions to minimize hydraulic conditions hazardous to passing fish. In this paper, the BioPA method is applied to estimate barotrauma induced mortal injury rates for Chinook salmon exposed to rapid pressure changes in Kaplan-type hydro turbines. Following the description of the general method, application of the BioPA to estimate the probability of mortal injury from exposure to rapid decompression is illustrated using a Kaplan hydro turbine at the John Day Dam on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA. The estimated rates of mortal injury increased from 0.3% to 1.7% as discharge through the turbine increased from 334 to 564m3/s for fish assumed to be acclimated to a depth of 5m. The majority of pressure nadirs occurred immediately below the runner blades, with the lowest values in the gap at the blade tips and just below the leading edge of the blades. Such information can help engineers focus on problem areas when designing new turbine runners to be more fish-friendly than existing units.

The primary objective was to determine if a secure mobile health (mhealth) intervention provided to geographically dispersed patients would improve contact rates and positively impact the military healthcare system. Methods and Materials: Over 21 months, volunteers enrolled in a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant, secure mobile messaging initiative called mCare. The study included males and females, 18-61 years old, with a minimum of 60 days of outpatient recovery. Volunteers were required to have a compatible phone. The mhealth intervention included appointment reminders, health and wellness tips, announcements, and other relevant information to this population exchanged between care teams and patients. Results: Provider respondents reported that 85% would refer patients to mCare, and 56% noted improvement in appointment attendance (n =90). Patient responses also revealed high acceptability of mCare and refined the frequency and delivery times (n =114). The pilot project resulted in over 84,000 outbound messages and improved contact rates by 176%. Conclusions: The mCare pilot project demonstrated the feasibility and administrative effectiveness of a scalable mhealth application using secure mobile messaging and information exchanges, including personalized patient education.

SpoVAF is likely an integral inner spore membrane protein and exhibits sequence identity to A subunits of the spore's nutrient germinant receptors (GRs), while SpoVAEa is a soluble protein with no obvious signals to allow its passage across a membrane. However, like SpoVAD, SpoVAEa is present on the outer surface of the spore's inner membrane, as SpoVAEa was accessible to an external biotinylation agent in spores and SpoVAEa disappeared in parallel with SpoVAD during proteinase K treatment of germinated spores. SpoVAEa and SpoVAD were also distributed similarly in fractions of disrupted dormant spores. Unlike spoVAD, spoVAEa is absent from the genomes of some spore-forming members of the Bacillales and Clostridiales orders, although Spo-VAEa's amino acid sequence is conserved in species containing spoVAEa. B. subtilis strains lacking SpoVAE or SpoVAEa and SpoVAE sporulated normally, and the spores had normal DPA levels. Spores lacking SpoVAE or SpoVAEa and SpoVAE also germinated normally with non-GR-dependent germinants but more slowly than wild-type spores with GR-dependent germinants, and this germination defect was complemented by ectopic expression of the missing proteins.

JO - Physiological Reports JF - Physiological Reports Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 2 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - n/a EP - n/a SN - 2051817X AB - Beta-adrenergic vasodilator responses may be blunted in humans who are at an increased risk for hypertension. Because menopause is associated with an increase in blood pressure, we tested the hypothesis that forearm blood flow responses to the β-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol are blunted in older, postmenopausal women compared to young, premenopausal women. We used venous occlusion plethysmography to measure forearm blood flow in young premenopausal (26 ± 1 years; n = 13) and postmenopausal (61 ± 2 years; n = 12) women. Forearm blood flow and mean arterial pressure were measured at baseline and during isoproterenol infusion at 1.0, 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 ng/100 mL tissue/min. The two groups did not differ in body mass index or mean arterial pressure. Baseline forearm blood flow was similar between young and postmenopausal women (3.7 ± 0.5 vs. 2.9 ± 0.4 mL/100 mL tissue/min, respectively; P > 0.05). At the lowest dose of isoproterenol, forearm blood flow vasodilator responses were lower in postmenopausal women compared with young women (5.8 ± 0.4 vs. 7.4 ± 0.3 mL/100 mL tissue/min, respectively; P < 0.05). Thereafter, forearm blood flow remained similar between the groups for the remaining isoproterenol doses. In conclusion, β-adrenergic receptor-mediated forearm vasodilator responses are blunted in healthy, older postmenopausal women at lower but not higher doses of isoproterenol. This suggests that in aging women, β-adrenergic receptor-mediated vasodilator responses may be blunted at a moderate level of stimulation while maximum receptor responses are preserved.

Using uniformities, a new topology on products is defined between the box and Tychonov topologies. This new product, called the uniform box product, is an extension of the sup metric to powers of compact spaces. We investigate a certain non-metrizable compact space whose uniform box product, in ZFC, is normal, countably paracompact, and collectionwise Hausdorff.

Explosive impulse has historically been calculated from temporal pressure measurements obtained via piezoelectric transducers. The presented technique instead combines schlieren flow visualization and high-speed digital imaging to optically measure explosive impulse. Prior to an explosive event, schlieren system calibration is performed using known light-ray refractions and resulting digital image intensities. Explosive charges are detonated in the test section of a schlieren system and imaged by a high-speed digital camera in pseudo-streak mode. Spatiotemporal schlieren intensity maps are converted using an Abel deconvolution, Rankine-Hugoniot jump equations, ideal gas law, triangular temperature decay profile, and Schardin's standard photometric technique to yield spatiotemporal pressure maps. Temporal integration of individual pixel pressure profiles over the positive pressure duration of the shock wave yields the explosive impulse generated for a given radial standoff. Calculated explosive impulses are shown to exhibit good agreement between optically derived values and pencil gage pressure transducers.

Recently, a novel architecture known as the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system has been developed for the acquisition of compressive spectral image data with just a few coded focal plane array measurements. This paper focuses on developing a classification approach with hyperspectral images directly from CASSI compressive measurements, without first reconstructing the full data cube. The proposed classification method uses the compressive measurements to find the sparse vector representation of the test pixel in a given training dictionary. The estimated sparse vector is obtained by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem and is then used to directly determine the class of the unknown pixel. The performance of the proposed classifier is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The set of optimal coded apertures is designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Several simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed classifier using optimal coded apertures and the gain in the classification accuracy obtained over using traditional aperture codes in CASSI.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 53 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 SN - 00913286 AB - Image noise originating from a sensor system is often the limiting factor in target acquisition performance, especially when limited by atmospheric transmission or low-light conditions. To accurately predict target acquisition range performance for a wide variety of imaging systems, image degradation introduced by the sensor must be properly combined with the limitations of the human visual system (HVS). This crucial step of incorporating the HVS has been improved and updated within NVESD's latest imaging system performance model. The new noise model discussed here shows how an imaging system's noise and blur are combined with the contrast threshold function (CTF) to form the system CTF. Model calibration constants were found by presenting low-contrast sine gratings with additive noise in a two alternative forced choice experiment. One of the principal improvements comes from adding an eye photon noise term allowing the noise CTF to be accurate over a wide range of luminance. The latest HVS noise model is then applied to the targeting task performance metric responsible for predicting system performance from the system CTF. To validate this model, human target acquisition performance was measured from a series of infrared and visible-band noise-limited imaging systems.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2014/06//6/1/2014 VL - 144 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 821 EP - 829 SN - 00223166 AB - High-protein (HP) diets may attenuate bone loss during energy restriction. The objective of the current study was to determine whether HP diets suppress bone turnover and improve bone quality in male rats during food restriction and whether dietary protein source affects this relation. Eighty 12-wk-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to consume 1 of 4 study diets under ad libitum (AL) control or restricted conditions [40% food restriction (FR)]: 1) 10% [normal-protein (NP)]milk protein; 2) 32% (HP) milk protein; 3) 10% (NP) soy protein; or 4) 32% (HP) soy protein. After 16 wk, markers of bone turnover, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture, strength, and expression of duodenal calcium channels were assessed. FR increased bone turnover and resulted in lower femoral trabecular bone volume (P < 0.05), higher cortical bone surface (P < 0.001), and reduced femur length (P < 0.01), bending moment (P < 0.05), and moment of inertia (P = 0.001) compared with AL. HP intake reduced bone turnover and tended to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) (P = 0.06) and increase trabecular vBMD (P < 0.05) compared with NP but did not affect bone strength. Compared with milk, soy suppressed PTH (P < 0.05) and increased cortical vBMD (P < 0.05) and calcium content of the femur (P < 0.01) but did not affect strength variables. During AL conditions, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6 was higher for soy than milk (P < 0.05) and HP compared with NP (P < 0.05). These data demonstrate that both HP and soy diets suppress PTH, and HP attenuates bone turnover and increases vBMD regardless of FR, although these differences do not affect bone strength. The effects of HP and soy may be due in part to enhanced intestinal calcium transporter expression.

Such particles have highly irregular morphology and volume density with properties that are consistent with the samples retrieved by Stardust from Comet 81P/Wild 2. We find that an entire set of observational data including phase function, phase dependence of the degree of linear polarization, photometric, and polarimetric colour in Comet C/1975 V1 (West) can be quantitatively reproduced with a two-component mixture of weakly and highly absorbing particles, having refractive indices m = 1.5+0i or 1.6+0.0005i and 2.43+0.59i, respectively. These refractive indices are consistent with Mgrich silicates and amorphous carbon, two species considered to be abundant in comets. Our modelling predicts the volume ratio of these materials being about 1:3. We note that in situ mass spectrometry measurements of Comet 1P/Halley suggested a similar ratio of weakly to highly absorbing particles, with a large uncertainty. The best fit to observations is obtained for a polydisperse ensembles of particles that obey the power-law size distribution r −1.5 and r −2. Such a distribution also is in good agreement with in situ studies of Comet 1P/Halley. While our modelling can reproduce the photopolarimetric properties of Comet C/1975 V1 (West), it also is one of the simplest approach, since it has fewer free parameters than other approaches.

JO - Frontiers in Neuroscience JF - Frontiers in Neuroscience Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 SN - 16624548 AB - Brain wave activity is known to correlate with decrements in behavioral performance as individuals enter states of fatigue, boredom, or low alertness. Many BCI technologies are adversely affected by these changes in user state, limiting their application and constraining their use to relatively short temporal epochs where behavioral performance is likely to be stable. Incorporating a passive BCI that detects when the user is performing poorly at a primary task, and adapts accordingly may prove to increase overall user performance. Here, we explore the potential for extending an established method to generate continuous estimates of behavioral performance from ongoing neural activity; evaluating the extended method by applying it to the original task domain, simulated driving; and generalizing the method by applying it to a BCI-relevant perceptual discrimination task. Specifically, we used EEG log power spectra and sequential forward floating selection (SFFS) to estimate endogenous changes in behavior in both a simulated driving task and a perceptual discrimination task. For the driving task the average correlation coefficient between the actual and estimated lane deviation was 0.37 ± 0.22 (μ± s). For the perceptual discrimination task we generated estimates of accuracy, reaction time, and button press duration for each participant. The correlation coefficients between the actual and estimated behavior were similar for these three metrics (accuracy = 0.25 ± 0.37, reaction time = 0.33 ± 0.23, button press duration = 0.36 ± 0.30). These findings illustrate the potential for modeling time-on-task decrements in performance from concurrent measures of neural activity.

Previously, abnormally low and high blood pressures have both been associated with higher mortality for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). We undertook a retrospective analysis of 1384 adult prehospital trauma patients. Vital-sign data were electronically archived and analyzed. We examined the relative risk of severe head Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 5-6 as a function of the GCS, systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate (RR). We created multi-variate logistic regression models and, using DeLong's test, compared their area under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC AUCs) for three outcomes: head AIS 5-6, all-cause mortality, and either head AIS 5-6 or neurosurgical procedure. We found significant bimodal relationships between head AIS 5-6 versus SBP and HR, but not RR. When the GCS was <15, ROC AUCs were significantly higher for a multi-variate regression model (GCS, SBP, and HR) versus GCS alone. In particular, patients with abnormalities in all parameters (GCS, SBP, and HR) were significantly more likely to have high-mortality TBI versus those with abnormalities in GCS alone. This could be useful for mobilizing resources (e.g., neurosurgeons and operating rooms at the receiving hospital) and might enable new prehospital management protocols where therapies are selected based on TBI mortality risk.

JO - Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics JF - Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics Y1 - 2014/05/15/ VL - 89 IS - 5-B M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 SN - 10502947 AB - We present an entirely linear all-optical method of cavity scale factor enhancement that relies on mode coupling between the orthogonal polarization modes of a single optical cavity, eliminating the necessity of using an atomic medium to produce the required anomalous dispersion, which decreases the dependence of the scale factor on temperature and increases signal-to-noise ratio by reducing absorption and nonlinear effects. The use of a single cavity results in common mode rejection of the noise and drift that would be present in a system of two coupled cavities. We show that the scale-factor-to-mode-width ratio is increased above unity for this system, and demonstrate tuning of the scale factor by (i) directly varying the polarization mode coupling via rotation of an intracavity half-wave plate, and (ii) coherent control of the cavity reflectance which is achieved simply by varying the incident polarization superposition. These tuning methods allow us to closely approach the critical anomalous dispersion condition and achieve unprecedented enhancements in scale factor and in the scale-factor-to-mode-width ratio. Based on these findings, we propose an adaptation of the traditional optical cavity gyroscope that takes advantage of polarization mode coupling to enhance the gyro scale factor, and demonstrate how the bandwidth of the scale factor enhancement for this gyroscope can be effectively broadened in comparison with fast-light gyroscopes based on atomic media.

However, LiCoPO4 has relatively poor electronic conductivity which may be improved by chemical substitution. In this work, the ionic and electronic conductivities of dense, polycrystalline LiCoPO4 and Fe2+/Fe3+-substituted LiCoPO4 (Li1−x Co0.9Fe0.1PO4) are measured and compared. Both materials are predominantly ionic conductors with relatively good bulk ionic and relatively poor electronic conductivities. Li1−x Co0.9Fe0.1PO4 exhibits both higher bulk ionic and electronic conductivity. The increased bulk ionic conductivity of Li1−x Co0.9Fe0.1PO4 is believed to originate mainly from extra Li vacancies and the increased electronic conductivity is believed to originate mainly from creating more mobile hole polarons compared to LiCoPO4 as a result of Fe2+/Fe3+ substitution.

Here, we present coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the effects of solvent molecular weight on the toughness of entangled and non-entangled polymer gels in the ballistic impact regime. Our results demonstrate that higher molecular weight solvents enhance gel toughness, and that mechanical properties including strength and toughness can be influenced by bond scission. Further, we find a remarkable two-step gel fracture mechanism on the molecular level: network chains undergo scission first (and well before fracture), followed by scission of solvent chains. For strain rates greater than inverse relaxation time of the solvent, long, highly entangled solvent chains provide fracture resistance even after the network chains break by effectively increasing the number of chains that must be broken as a crack propagates.

The Ag/GNP catalyzes the O2 molecule through a 4-electron reduction to water in 0.1M KOH electrolyte. The half-wave potential for the ORR on Ag/GNP is similar to a Pt black coated electrode (i.e -0.27V at Ag/GNP, and -0.18V at 40% Pt/C vs.SCE). The kinetic rate for the ORR on Ag/GNP is 3.16×10−2 cm·s−1 at -0.4V vs. SCE. The effect of alcohols and other impurities on the ORR catalytic activity for Ag/GNP was examined and found to be highly tolerant to methanol, ethanol and ethylene glycol. The Ag/GNP catalyst is also tolerant to tetraalkyl ammonium hydroxides; i.e. functional groups related to the chemical structure of common alkaline electrolyte membranes.

The results then treat the spacing factor in terms of a probabilistic maximum distance from a random point in the cement paste matrix to the periphery of an air void, where air voids are treated as a polydispersed sphere system. The model was applied to concretes with various air entrainment admixture types and dosages. The results suggest that the model may offer a better assessment of the system for use in assessing durability and studying admixtures, as well as providing a new tool for spatial characterization of heterogeneous and porous materials.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance documents define risk as the 'probability and severity of loss linked to hazards' and prescribe a composite risk assessment method. The Delta Risk Management Strategy performed for a group of state and federal partners provided analyses of the relative probability of hazards and severity of risks in the Delta and provide the information needed for a risk analysis compliant with USACE requirements. Composite Risk assessment provides rank-ordered lists of the highest risk zones-those with the greatest probability of failure combined with the most severe consequences-for several hundred protected areas in the Delta. Although uncertainties in the absolute magnitude of the results make them most useful for comparisons, the actual values of the probabilities and consequences are alarming. For example, Sargent Barnhart Tract, northwest of Stockton, has a mean annual failure rate of 0.07, or an expected levee failure every 14 years, with a probable 96 fatalities for a nighttime seismic-induced failure. Adjacent tracts with only slightly lower failure probabilities put another 500 lives at risk. An area of the Suisun Marsh has a projected failure rate of 0.5, or once every two years, with maximum possible damages exceeding $250 million. The Sacramento Pocket Area, with a mean annual failure rate of 0.006, has over $9 billion at risk. Although refinements to these risk estimates are possible, this paper and the Delta Risk Management Strategy analyses provide more than sufficient evidence that flooding in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta presents significant risks to California and the nation. Hundreds of lives and billions of dollar damages are at risk. Urgent action is necessary to manage those risks.

The model requires 39 material properties and parameters, and is able to capture the seven different damage modes and post damage softening behavior of composites. The unknown MAT162 parameters were determined by conducting parametric simulations of low velocity impact (LVI), depth of penetration (DOP), and ballistic impacts. The modulus reduction parameter OMGMX is found by simulating LVI tests and varying the values of OMGMX to find the best agreement with LVI experimental data. The limit of compressive volume strain for element eroding was found by simulating DOP experiments and comparing the results to the experimental data. Then the element eroding axial strain E_LIMT and EEXPN were determined by simulating ballistic impact experiments. When the optimized values were determined, analysis of ballistic experiments were conducted and compared to the experimental impact versus residual velocity curve. The results of the simulations were in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

The uses of the models have diversified over the past decade. This paper revisits an overall view of selected thermoregulatory models used in the U.S. military and provides examples of actual practical military applications: 1) the latest military vehicle designed with armor and blast/bulletproof windows was assessed to predict crews' thermal strains levels inside vehicles under hot environment (air temperature [T a]: 29–43 °C, dew point: 13 °C); 2) a military working dog (MWD) model was developed by modifying existing human thermoregulatory models with canine physical appearance and physiological mechanisms; 3) thermal tolerance range of individuals from a large military group (n = 100) exposed to 35 °C/40% relative humidity were examined using thermoregulatory modeling and multivariate statistical analyses. Model simulation results assist in the decisions for the strategic planning and preventions of heat stress.

JO - Intermetallics JF - Intermetallics Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 48 M3 - Article SP - 79 EP - 85 SN - 09669795 AB - Abstract: Computational thermodynamics, based on the CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) method, can be an efficient way to predict phase stabilities in multi-component engineering materials. By calculating the stability of the liquid phase at low temperatures, this method could be a useful and cost-effective tool for the design of bulk metallic glasses. Based on the thermodynamic modeling of the constituent binary and ternary systems of W with Fe, Hf, Pd, Ta, Si, or C, thermodynamic databases are built to search for W-based metallic glasses in these alloying systems. Modeling of intermetallic phases combines input from first-principles total energy calculations and predictions of finite temperature properties from the Debye–Grüneisen model. Several plausible W-rich glass-forming alloys are identified in the W–Fe–Si–C quaternary system.

Rapid combustion events have been demonstrated with flame propagation speeds eclipsing 3km/s, but much is still unknown about the controlling parameters of porous silicon combustion. Recent studies show that implementation of microstructure within a nanoporous silicon film greatly increases reaction rate of a relatively slow burning system. The present work utilizes porous silicon microchannels to enhance an already rapidly-reacting system. Reactions in channeled porous silicon regions of this system propagated at speeds up to 1.2km/s faster than similar neat porous silicon films. The fastest propagation speed was 3660m/s, the highest reported flame speed for comparable nanoenergetic systems to date. We provide evidence that the enhancement of flame propagation rates by channeled porous silicon is mechanistically different from the convectively controlled burning of neat porous silicon. This evidence suggests the presence of acoustically aided reactions for porous silicon channel combustion where the channels more readily ignite compared to neat porous silicon. We predict this allows for propagation of the reaction by intense sound waves within the porous medium.

JO - Cleveland State Law Review JF - Cleveland State Law Review Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 62 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 436 SN - 00098876 AB - Analyzing a difficult subject that pervades contract law and which is vital to the national economy, many scholars have written about boilerplate contracts. With her 2013 book, Boilerplate: The Fine Print, Vanishing Rights and the Rule Of Law, Professor Margaret Jane Radin weighs in on the discussion, rejecting utilitarian-welfare notions that economic efficiency can justify the extensive use of mass market boilerplate. In her main contention, Radin argues that mass market standard form contracts improperly degrade consumer rights in the area of voluntary consent (herein "normative degradation"). Although her book has achieved great renown, receiving high praise from prominent commentators, with plaudits such as "groundbreaking," "a great achievement," and a "masterpiece," I respectfully suggest that the book has problems on both doctrinal and normative grounds. In my Article, I summarize the author's argument on normative degradation, identify my concerns, and propose an alternative formulation. My counter thesis is that both statute and court decisions properly support consumer rights in the area of voluntary consent for mass-market standard form contracts. Besides being the first full-length critique of Boilerplate, this Article also has contributed some original observations to the secondary literature, most prominently identifying a division of authority on whether mutual assent and freedom of contract exist with adhesion contracts. I also provide a solution for these conflicts. Because a valid normative and legal argument must reflect accurate doctrinal principles, I question the views of those commentators praising Radin's book as a valuable contribution to contract law.

Ten volunteers participated in 90-min heat exposure trials with and without respirator (Control) wear and performed computer-generated tasks while seated. Ambient air cooling was provided to respirators modified to blow air to the forehead (FHC) or to the forehead and the breathing zone (BZC) of a full-facepiece air-purifying respirator using a low-flow (45 L·min−1) mini-blower. An unmodified respirator (APR) trial was also completed. The highest body temperatures (TTY) and least favorable comfort ratings were observed for the APR condition. With ambient cooling over the last 60 min of heat exposure, TTYaveraged 37.4 ± 0.6°C for Control, 38.0 ± 0.4°C for APR, 37.8 ± 0.5°C for FHC, and 37.6 ± 0.7°C for BZC conditions independent of time. Both the FHC and BZC ambient air cooling conditions reduced facial skin temperatures, reduced the rise in body temperatures, and led to more favorable subjective comfort and thermal sensation ratings over time compared to the APR condition; however statistical differences among conditions were inconsistent. Independent of exposure time, average breathing apparatus comfort scores with BZC (7.2 ± 2.5) were significantly different from both Control (8.9 ± 1.4) and APR (6.5 ± 2.2) conditions when ambient cooling was activated. These findings suggest that low-flow ambient air cooling of the face under low work rate conditions and mild hyperthermia may be a practical method to minimize the thermophysiological strain and reduce perceived respirator discomfort.

JO - Journal of Environmental Radioactivity JF - Journal of Environmental Radioactivity Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 131 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 39 SN - 0265931X AB - Abstract: The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS™) (http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/treecs/) is being developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) for the U.S. Army to forecast the fate of munitions constituents (MC) (such as high explosives (HE) and metals) found on firing/training ranges, as well as those subsequently transported to surface water and groundwater. The overall purpose of TREECS™ is to provide environmental specialists with tools to assess the potential for MC migration into surface water and groundwater systems and to assess range management strategies to ensure protection of human health and the environment. The multimedia fate/transport models within TREECS™ are mathematical models of reduced form (e.g., reduced dimensionality) that allow rapid application with less input data requirements compared with more complicated models. Although TREECS™ was developed for the fate of MC from military ranges, it has general applicability to many other situations requiring prediction of contaminant (including radionuclide) fate in multi-media environmental systems. TREECS™ was applied to the Borschi watershed near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine. At this site, TREECS™ demonstrated its use as a modeling tool to predict the fate of strontium 90 (90Sr). The most sensitive and uncertain input for this application was the soil-water partitioning distribution coefficient (K d) for 90Sr. The TREECS™ soil model provided reasonable estimates of the surface water export flux of 90Sr from the Borschi watershed when using a K d for 90Sr of 200 L/kg. The computed export for the year 2000 was 0.18% of the watershed inventory of 90Sr compared to the estimated export flux of 0.14% based on field data collected during 1999–2001. The model indicated that assumptions regarding the form of the inventory, whether dissolved or in solid phase form, did not appreciably affect export rates. Also, the percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed 90Sr, which is uncertain and affects the amount of 90Sr available for export, was fixed at 20% based on field data measurements. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis was conducted treating K d as an uncertain input variable with a range of 100–300 L/kg. This analysis resulted in a range of 0.13–0.27% of inventory exported to surface water compared to 0.14% based on measured field data. Based on this model application, it was concluded that the export of 90Sr from the Borschi watershed to surface water is predominantly a result of soil pore water containing dissolved 90Sr being diverted to surface waters that eventually flow out of the watershed. The percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed 90Sr and the soil-water K d are the two most sensitive and uncertain factors affecting the amount of export. The 200-year projections of the model showed an exponential decline in 90Sr export fluxes from the watershed that should drop by a factor of 10 by the year 2100. This presentation will focus on TREECS capabilities and the case study done for the Borschi Watershed.

The exact tests reported in the literature assume that data samples for each variable are sequentially independent and identically distributed (iid). In general, time series data have dependencies (Markov structure) that violate this condition. The algorithm given in this paper is the first exact significance test of mutual information that takes into account the Markov structure. When the Markov order is not known or indefinite, an exact test is used to determine an effective Markov order.

Two fast-response surface thermocouples embedded in the piston top measured transient temperature. A commercial wireless telemetry system was used to transmit thermocouple signals from the moving piston. A detailed comparison was made between the different combustion regimes at a range of engine speed and load conditions. The closed-cycle integrated and peak heat transfer rates were found to be lower for HCCI and RCCI when compared to CDC. Under HCCI operation, the peak heat transfer rate showed sensitivity to the 50% burn location.

JO - Transactions of the ASABE JF - Transactions of the ASABE Y1 - 2014/05//May/Jun2014 VL - 57 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 973 EP - 986 SN - 21510032 AB - Non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups such as O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 are recognized as serious risks to human health due to their toxicity. The conventional microbiological detection method of cell counting on agar plates is laborious and time-consuming. Because optical methods are promising for real-time, in situ foodborne pathogen detection, a hyperspectral microscope imaging (HMI) method based on acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) was developed for detecting pathogenic bacteria with a capability to differentiate the spectral characteristics of each bacterial cell from microcolony samples. Using the AOTF-based HMI method, a total of 89 contiguous spectral images were acquired within approximately 45 s with 250 ms exposure time. In this study, we developed a protocol for successfully immobilizing live cells on glass slides to acquire quality spectral images of STEC bacterial cells using a modified drying method. Among the contiguous spectral imagery between 450 and 800 nm, the intensities at 458, 498, 522, 546, 570, 586, 670, and 690 nm were distinct for STEC bacteria under dark-field illumination. With two different classification algorithms, i.e., support vector machine (SVM) and sparse kernel-based ensemble learning (SKEL), STEC serogroup O45 could be classified with 92% detection accuracy. However, the mean accuracies in identifying the six STEC serogroups with SVM and SKEL were not high enough for use in classification models.

JO - Transactions of the ASABE JF - Transactions of the ASABE Y1 - 2014/05//May/Jun2014 VL - 57 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 837 EP - 849 SN - 21510032 AB - The flow duration curve (FDC) is employed for addressing a multitude of problems in water resources engineering, such as prediction of the distribution of future flows, forecasting of future recurrence frequencies, comparison of watersheds, construction of load duration curves, and determination of low flow thresholds. Usually, the FDC is constructed empirically for a given set of flow data, and the FDC so constructed is found to vary from one year to another and from one gauging station to another within the same watershed. This article attempts to analytically derive the FDC by maximizing the Tsallis entropy based on the knowledge that the mean discharge is known, thus obviating the need for any fitting. The mean discharge is found to be strongly related to the drainage area. The Tsallis entropy-based FDC is tested using field data and is found to be in agreement with the observed curve. The entropy method permits a probabilistic characterization of the FDC and hence a quantitative assessment of its uncertainty. With this method, the flow duration curve can also be forecasted for different recurrence intervals. The entropy is found to monotonically increase with the increase in time interval, indicating that the flow system becomes more complex but the degree of complexity decreases with increasing time interval after a certain time, eventually reaching a constant value, reflecting a reduced influence of land use change and other human influences on the flow regime.

Substantial evidence now exists showing how, and under what conditions, ecosystems can play a valuable function in wave and storm surge attenuation, erosion reduction, and in the longer term maintenance of the coastal profile. Both through their capacity for self repair and recovery, and through the often considerable cobenefits they provide, ecosystems can offer notable advantages over traditional engineering approaches in some settings. They can also be combined in 'hybrid' engineering designs. We make 10 recommendations to encourage the utilization of existing knowledge and to improve the incorporation of ecosystems into policy, planning and funding for coastal hazard risk reduction.

Recently, characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual module designed for large-scale electric military vehicle applications has been reported. This paper expands on the previous work by presenting details and results obtained from a long-term evaluation of a similar module. The module has successfully operated in an experimental circuit at a switching frequency of 10 kHz while running vehicle load profiles for over 1000 h and exhibited little change in device characteristics. Of all measured characteristics, none had a significant unfavorable change greater than 10% from its initial value. The 1000 h of circuit operation represents 11 783 miles of use or over half of the expected lifecycle in a military vehicle traction inverter.

JO - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta JF - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 132 M3 - Article SP - 16 EP - 30 SN - 00167037 AB - Antimony (Sb) is a contaminant of concern that can be present in elevated concentrations in shooting range soils due to mobilization from spent lead/antimony bullets. Antimony in shooting range soils has been observed as either metallic Sb(0) or as Sb(V) immobilized by iron (hydr)oxides. The absence of Sb(III) in soils is indicative of rapid Sb(III) oxidation to Sb(V) under surface soil conditions. However, the major controls on antimony oxidation and mobility are poorly understood. To better understand these controls we performed multiple batch experiments under oxic conditions to quantify the oxidation and dissolution of antimony in systems where Sb(0) is oxidized to Sb(III) and further to Sb(V). We also tested how variations in the aqueous matrix composition and the presence of metallic lead (Pb) affect the dissolution, solid phase speciation, and oxidation of antimony. We monitored changes in the aqueous antimony speciation using liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS). To test which solid phases form as a result of Sb(0) oxidation, and therefore potentially limit the mobility of antimony in our studied systems, we characterized the partially oxidized Sb(0) powders by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The observed oxidation of Sb(0) to Sb(III) and mobilization to solution is rapid: after 5–15min of reaction the aqueous antimony concentration reached 50–600μM. The amount of dissolved antimony and the rate of Sb(III) oxidation to Sb(V) in deionized water is lower than what we measured in the simulated groundwater systems. Sénarmontite (Sb2O3), the primary crystalline oxidation product of Sb(0), was detected after one month from the beginning of Sb(0) oxidation. The maximum aqueous Sb(III) concentration is about 30 times larger than the predicted equilibrium concentration with respect to sénarmontite in the initial stages (<65h) of our experiment. Concentrations reach equilibrium within 146–222days. The maximum concentration of Sb(V) is controlled by cation availability for the precipitation of an antimonate. In the systems where sodium Na(I) exceeded 20mM precipitation of mopungite is observed. No crystalline phases were detected in the systems with added lead, and the dissolved Sb(V) concentration is several orders of magnitude higher than would be expected in equilibrium with bindheimite (Pb2Sb2O7). The observed solubility of Sb(V) in the systems with Ca(II) is several orders of magnitude larger than the solubility reported for roméite (Ca2Sb2O7). The addition of Pb(0) lowered the extent of Sb(0) oxidation due to competitive oxidation or to the coupling of antimony and lead redox reactions. The results from our research can be used to identify substrates that promote precipitation of relatively insoluble antimony compounds in target berm soils and thus prevent the offsite migration of antimony from shooting range target berms.

Over the past decade, attrition rates in the Army have averaged between 25% and 30% during first-term periods of enlistment. Historically, the services have relied on education credentials, with special emphasis on possessing a high school diploma, as a primary indicator of completion rates after enlistment and as a proxy for the ability to adapt to a military lifestyle. A primary purpose of this paper is to describe Army research to develop new indicators of adaptability to augment the current system based on education credentials. This work has focused primarily on noncognitive, personality measures and how such measures can be combined with other existing measures for attrition screening during enlistment processing. These advances represent a new paradigm that relies less heavily on education credentials and can provide a more comprehensive and inclusive approach. This new approach incorporates advances in testing methodology to make it more viable for use in large-scale, high-stakes testing applications.

The study focuses on the actuator itself and on the vorticity field as well as on structures that are generated by the actuator. Large eddies simulation was used for numerical analysis and phase-locked, two-dimensional microscopic-particle image velocimetry technique was used in the experiment. In the numerical simulation, the equations were integrated using a nondissipative scheme that enforces discrete conservation of kinetic energy. The internal cavity flow of the actuator was part of the simulation. The actuator under consideration is of a unique design, fabricated to accommodate practical issues associated with helicopter rotor application. However, it has the same operating principles as a conventional synthetic jet actuator. Harmonies of the forcing frequency were traced in the velocity field. Insight into the evolution of the vortical structures, jet flapping, and onset of turbulence in the jet was retrieved. This is an important building block for better understanding of the interaction of synthetic jets with boundary layers.

JO - Frontiers in Neuroscience JF - Frontiers in Neuroscience Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 26 SN - 16624548 AB - Brain wave activity is known to correlate with decrements in behavioral performance as individuals enter states of fatigue, boredom, or low alertness. Many BCI technologies are adversely affected by these changes in user state, limiting their application and constraining their use to relatively short temporal epochs where behavioral performance is likely to be stable. Incorporating a passive BCI that detects when the user is performing poorly at a primary task, and adapts accordingly may prove to increase overall user performance. Here, we explore the potential for extending an established method to generate continuous estimates of behavioral performance from ongoing neural activity; evaluating the extended method by applying it to the original task domain, simulated driving; and generalizing the method by applying it to a BCI relevant perceptual discrimination task. Specifically, we used EEG log power spectra and sequential forward floating selection (SFFS) to estimate endogenous changes in behavior in both a simulated driving task and a perceptual discrimination task. For the driving task the average correlation coefficient between the actual and estimated lane deviation was 0.37 ± 0.22 (μ ± σ). For the perceptual discrimination task we generated estimates of accuracy, reaction time, and button press duration for each participant. The correlation coefficients between the actual and estimated behavior were similar for these three metrics (accuracy = 0.25 ± 0.37, reaction time = 0.33 ± 0.23, button press duration = 0.36 ± 0.30). These findings illustrate the potential for modeling time-on-task decrements in performance from concurrent measures of neural activity.

JO - Virology JF - Virology Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 456-457 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 86 SN - 00426822 AB - Abstract: Frog virus 3 (FV3) and other ranaviruses are responsible for die-offs involving wild, farmed, and captive amphibians, fish, and reptiles. To ascertain which elements of the immune system respond to infection, we explored transcriptional responses following infection of fathead minnow cells with either wild type (wt) FV3 or a knock out (KO) mutant targeting the 18kDa immediate early gene (18K). At 8h post infection we observed marked upregulation of multiple transcripts encoding proteins affecting innate and acquired immunity. Sequences expressed 4-fold or higher in wt-infected cells included transcripts encoding interferon (IFN), IFN regulatory factors (IRFs), IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) such as Mx and MHC class I, and interleukins IL-1β, IL-8, IL-17C and IL-12. Cells infected with the 18K KO mutant (∆18K) showed qualitative differences and lower levels of induction. Collectively, these results indicate that ranavirus infection induced expression of multiple cellular genes affecting both innate and acquired immunity.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 88 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 4736 EP - 4743 SN - 0022538X AB - There are currently no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccines or therapeutics to prevent or treat Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF). The causative agent of AHF is Junin virus (JUNV); a New World arenavirus classified as a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention category A priority pathogen. The PTAP late (L) domain motif within JUNV Z protein facilitates virion egress and transmission by recruiting host Tsg101 and other ESCRT complex proteins to promote scission of the virus particle from the plasma membrane. Here, we describe a novel compound (compound 0013) that blocks the JUNV Z-Tsg101 interaction and inhibits budding of virus-like particles (VLPs) driven by ectopic expression of the Z protein and live-attenuated JUNV Candid-1 strain in cell culture. Since inhibition of the PTAP-Tsg101 interaction inhibits JUNV egress, compound 0013 serves as a prototype therapeutic that could reduce virus dissemination and disease progression in infected individuals. Moreover, since PTAP L-domain-mediated Tsg101 recruitment is utilized by other RNA virus pathogens (e.g., Ebola virus and HIV-1), PTAP inhibitors such as compound 0013 have the potential to function as potent broad-spectrum, host-oriented antiviral drugs.

In addition, placing graphene within the defect layer of an asymmetric, one-dimensional photonic crystal triggers nearly 100% narrowband absorption. We demonstrate that the improved field localization within the defect state enhances third-harmonic generation by nearly five orders of magnitude compared with bare monolayer graphene. Saturation of the third-order susceptibility plays a role at both fundamental and third-harmonic frequencies. We discuss the benefits of including graphene within the structure for both signals.

We explored whether polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) cause effects through intact nanoparticles or dissolved silver. Females of the model species fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to either 4.8 μg/L of AgNO3 or 61.4 μg/L of PVP-AgNPs for 96h. Microarray analyses were used to identify impacted receptors and toxicity pathways in liver and brain tissues that were confirmed using in vitro mammalian assays. AgNO3 and PVP-AgNP exposed fish had common and distinct effects consistent with both intact nanoparticles and dissolved silver causing effects. PVP-AgNPs and AgNO3 both affected pathways involved in Na+, K+, and H+ homeostasis and oxidative stress but different neurotoxicity pathways. In vivo effects were supported by PVP-AgNP activation of five in vitro nuclear receptor assays and inhibition of ligand binding to the dopamine receptor. AgNO3 inhibited ligand binding to adrenergic receptors α1 and α2 and cannabinoid receptor CB1, but had no effect in nuclear receptor assays. PVP-AgNPs have the potential to cause effects both through intact nanoparticles and metal ions, each interacting with different initiating events. Since the in vitro and in vivo assays examined here are commonly used in human and ecological hazard screening, this work suggests that environmental health assessments should consider effects of intact nanoparticles in addition to dissolved metals.

Fractal-based inductor design is a method for obtaining a very long trace lengths—and thus inductance densities—in 2-D space as a replacement for the serpentines currently used in one layer inductors. Because of the intricate course created by a fractal curve, these types of inductors are particularly well suited for stretchable electronics, where a tortuous path relieves mechanical stress and creates a more compliant structure. Inductors based on seven common space filling curves, all bounded within a one square millimeter area, were both simulated and measured experimentally and found to vary between 3.0 and 7.1 nH. Lower order fractals were found to give comparable performance to serpentine inductors with similar inductance density. More complicated fractals, after more than two iterations, were found to have lower inductance density than similar resistance serpentines. Mechanical simulations demonstrate a reduction in stress by a factor of 10 or more compared with the loop and serpentine designs.

T1 - Fifteen node tetrahedral elements for explicit methods in nonlinear solid dynamics. JO - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics & Engineering JF - Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics & Engineering Y1 - 2014/04/15/ VL - 272 M3 - Article SP - 160 EP - 180 SN - 00457825 AB - Abstract: Despite the ease in meshing and benefits for modeling flexure, curved shapes, etc., second-order tetrahedral elements are not contained in typical explicit solid dynamic programs. This is primarily due to the lack of both a satisfactory consistent nodal loading distribution and mass lumping technique. Row summation lumping, for instance, produces negative vertex node masses for the popular ten node “serendipity” tetrahedron, which also has zero vertex node loads resulting from a constant pressure on an element face. This has led to piecewise composites of four node tetrahedrons to represent a ten node one in explicit codes. In this paper, truly second-order fifteen node formulations for compressible and for nearly incompressible materials are presented and evaluated. In addition to producing all positive nodal loads from a uniform traction, row summation mass lumping for the fifteen node element is shown to produce all positive nodal masses. Performance is assessed in standard benchmark problems and practical applications using various elastic and elastic–plastic material models and involving very large strains/deformations, severe distortions, and contact-impact. Comparisons are also made with several first-order elements and second-order hexahedral formulations. The offered elements performed satisfactorily in all examples. As recently found for second-order hexahedral elements, it is shown that the inclusion of face and centroidal nodes is vital for robust performance with row summation lumping, and high-order quadrature rules are crucial with explicit methods. These second-order elements are shown to be viable for practical applications, especially using today’s parallel computers. Whereas the reliable performance is generally attained at significant computational expense compared with first-order and brick types, these elements can be more computationally competitive in flexure and have the desirable trait that they are amenable to automatic tetrahedral meshing software.

The results of a one-tailedttest indicated, with apvalue of 0.043, that there was a statistically significant effect of the aesthetic presentation of the game upon the learning outcome. There was no indication of a significant effect by the player choice or player competition conditions, but the results from these experiment groups point to some potentially interesting interactions between the conditions and learning, as well as possible future lines of experimental inquiry.

Cyclic simple shear testing was performed on various sand-fines mixtures at a range of modified Proctor relative compaction levels and degrees of saturation. Aside from the expected strong influence of relative compaction, increasing fines content is found to generally decrease volume change for fines fractions consisting of silts and clayey silts of moderate-to-low plasticity index (PI≤10). With truly nonplastic fines (rock flour), cyclic volume change increases with FC. Some materials also exhibit an effect of as-compacted saturation in which moderate saturation levels associated with high matric suction cause volume change to decrease. Additionally, the data consistently demonstrate that vertical strains decrease as overburden pressure is increased in a manner consistent with a previous clean sands model. This paper presents empirical equations to capture these effects, which extend a previous clean-sand volumetric-strain material model to account for the previously unconsidered effects of fines content and saturation.

Each player yields a noisy response to a binary query governed by a certain error probability. First, we propose a sequential policy for constructing questions that queries each player in sequence and refines the posterior of the target location. Second, we consider a joint policy that asks all players questions in parallel at each time instant and characterize the structure of the optimal policy for constructing the sequence of questions. This generalizes the single player probabilistic bisection method for stochastic search problems. Third, we prove an equivalence between the two schemes showing that, despite the fact that the sequential scheme has access to a more refined filtration, the joint scheme performs just as well on average. Fourth, we establish convergence rates of the mean-square error and derive error exponents. Finally, we obtain an extension to the case of unknown error probabilities. This framework provides a mathematical model for incorporating a human in the loop for active machine learning systems.

Through scaling of room temperature internal quantum efficiencies across all devices, radiative and nonradiative lifetimes are also estimated. General trends observed include an increase in PL lifetime for longer wavelength and higher external quantum efficiency devices, consistent with the increase in the estimated nonradiative life-time with increasing wavelength. Despite these trends, the external quantum efficiency of the devices increases only weakly with increasing wavelength from 258 to 279 nm, suggesting that optimization of radiative lifetime and injection efficiency also play an important role.

Time-domain THz measurements indicate that the direction of electron transport is dominated by drift towards the n -GaN layer. Time-resolved electroabsorption measurements were used to determine carrier velocities by monitoring the change in transmission of a probe beam tuned to the In1- xGa x N absorption edge due to the transport of photogenerated carriers under the built-in internal electric field. Carrier transit times associated with screening of the electroabsorption are resolved at the lowest injection level. The signal rise time shows two distinct time scales, which correspond to an electron velocity of 3.3 ± 0.5 x 107 cm/s and a hole velocity of 6.7 ± 0.3 x 106 cm/s in an internal electric field of ∼150 kV/cm.

JO - Physica Status Solidi (C) JF - Physica Status Solidi (C) Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 11 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 432 EP - 436 SN - 18626351 AB - This work explores possible cross-slip mechanisms of gliding type < a > = a /3[1 -2 1 0] dislocation loops in wurtzite gallium nitride (GaN) as a function of slip plane. A modified form of the dislocation dynamics code ParaDiS was employed using isotropic linear elasticity and dislocation mobilities estimated in part from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Under an externally applied uniform stress, the occurrence of cross slip events is highly dependent on the initial dislocation slip plane. The basal plane is the preferred active plane, owing to the greater mobility of < a > type segments on that plane, over the other planes considered including the prismatic (-1 0 1 0) and two equivalent pyramidal planes (-1 0 1 1) and (1 0 -1 1). For an applied stress state, cross slip processes are more readily seen from the prismatic-to-basal planes or the pyramidal-to-basal planes, and neither is found to occur in reverse. Cross slip by climb is not presently considered. In all cases, cross-slip events occur after the loop expands until a greater number of screw-oriented segments are able to access the cross slip plane and the resolved stresses on the plane become sufficiently large. In comparison to dislocations found in GaN previously, the calculations suggest that some threading dislocations along the [0001] direction that have edge character may have been formed from loops whose screw segments slip and escape on basal planes leaving only the edge segments.

JO - Physica Status Solidi (C) JF - Physica Status Solidi (C) Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 11 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 782 EP - 785 SN - 18626351 AB - Heterogeneous aluminium gallium nitride (Al x Ga1- xN)/aluminium nitride (AlN)/silicon carbide (SiC) based n-i-p photodetectors have been demonstrated to effectively tailor the spectral response of SiC within the solar-blind regime. The differences in polarization at the hetero-interfaces resulting in negative polarization induced charge at the Al x Ga1- xN/AlN interface and positive polarization induced charge at the AlN/SiC interface has been exploited to create a large barrier to carrier transport across the interface. This barrier impedes the collection of photo-excited holes in the Al x Ga1- xN layers and enables the selective collection of electrons photo-excited to the Γ and L conduction band valleys of SiC while blocking the collection of electrons in the M valley. In this work, the influence of device design, including the AlN layer thickness and Al x Ga1- xN composition, on the spectral response is discussed. Thin AlN barrier layers are easily overcome by electrons generated in all valleys of 4H-SiC with increasing bias voltage while thicker barrier layers successfully minimize the collection of electrons in the M valley of SiC and therefore suppress the long-wavelength response >260 nm.

Analysis of the rotational dependence of the THz emission associated with this in-plane transport indicates that an electric field exists along the [1-100] m-axis correlated with the underlying template miscut. Calculations show that the field is correlated with strain-induced polarization fields at the heterointerface related to step-like charges at interfaces of the epilayers and the miscut templates.

JO - Spine Journal JF - Spine Journal Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 571 EP - 583 SN - 15299430 AB - Abstract: Background context: Effective strategies for preventing low back pain (LBP) have remained elusive, despite annual direct health care costs exceeding $85 billion dollars annually. In our recently completed Prevention of Low Back Pain in the Military (POLM) trial, a brief psychosocial education program (PSEP) that reduced fear and threat of LBP reduced the incidence of health care–seeking for LBP. Purpose: The purpose of this cost analysis was to determine if soldiers who received psychosocial education experienced lower health care costs compared with soldiers who did not receive psychosocial education. Study design/Setting: The POLM trial was a cluster randomized trial with four intervention arms and a 2-year follow-up. Consecutive subjects (n=4,295) entering a 16-week training program at Fort Sam Houston, TX, to become a combat medic in the U.S. Army were considered for participation. Methods: In addition to an assigned exercise program, soldiers were cluster randomized to receive or not receive a brief psychosocial education program delivered in a group setting. The Military Health System Management Analysis and Reporting Tool was used to extract total and LBP-related health care costs associated with LBP incidence over a 2-year follow-up period. Results: After adjusting for postrandomization differences between the groups, the median total LBP-related health care costs for soldiers who received PSEP and incurred LBP-related costs during the 2-year follow-up period were $26 per soldier lower than for those who did not receive PSEP ($60 vs. $86, respectively, p=.034). The adjusted median total health care costs for soldiers who received PSEP and incurred at least some health care costs during the 2-year follow-up period were estimated at $2 per soldier lower than for those who did not receive PSEP ($2,439 vs. $2,441, respectively, p=.242). The results from this analysis demonstrate that a brief psychosocial education program was only marginally effective in reducing LBP-related health care costs and was not effective in reducing total health care costs. Had the 1,995 soldiers in the PSEP group not received PSEP, we would estimate that 16.7% of them would incur an adjusted median LBP-related health care cost of $517 compared with the current 15.0% soldiers incurring an adjusted median cost of $399, which translates into an actual LBP-related health care cost savings of $52,846 during the POLM trial. However, it is likely that the unaccounted for direct and indirect costs might erase even these small cost savings. Conclusion: The results of this study will help to inform policy- and decision-making regarding the feasibility of implementing psychosocial education in military training environments across the services. It would be interesting to explore in future research whether cost savings from psychosocial education could be enhanced given a more individualized delivery method tailored to an individual's specific psychosocial risk factors.

We present a review of SPPs, their accuracy in diverse settings including the influence of geography, topography, and weather systems, as well as the pros and cons of their use for different water management applications. At the end of this broad synthesizing effort, recommendations are proposed for: (1) SPP developers to improve the quality, usability, and relevance of precipitation products; and (2) SPP users to improve the reliability of their predictions and hydrologic applications to better support water management.

JO - Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements JF - Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 41 M3 - Article SP - 83 EP - 89 SN - 09557997 AB - Abstract: The complex variable boundary element method (CVBEM) provides solutions of partial differential equations of the Laplace and Poisson type. Because the CVBEM is based upon convex combinations from a basis set of functions that are analytic throughout the problem domain, boundary, and exterior of the problem domain union boundary (except along branch cuts), both the real and imaginary parts of the CVBEM approximations satisfy the Laplace equation, leaving the modeling error reduction effort to be that of fitting the problem boundary conditions. In this paper, the approximate boundary approach is used to depict the goodness of fit between the CVBEM results and the problem boundary conditions. The approximate boundary is the locus of points where the CVBEM approximation function meets the values of the problem boundary conditions. Because of the collocation method, the approximate boundary necessarily intersects the problem boundary at least at the collocation points specified on the problem boundary. Consequently, adding nodes and collocation points on the problem boundary results in reducing the departure between the approximate boundary and the true problem boundary. Thus, the approximate boundary is developed by tracking level curves from the real and/or imaginary parts of the CVBEM approximation function.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 55 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1883 EP - 1892 SN - 00323861 AB - Abstract: Segmental dynamics in a series of 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate–diethyltoluenediamine–poly(tetramethylene oxide) based poly(urethane urea) (PUU) elastomers have been investigated through a multi-scale characterization approach. This includes broadband dielectric analysis, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), plate impact, and impulsive stimulated scattering. Dielectric relaxation measurements applicable at frequencies up to 106 Hz are useful for interpreting the high strain-rate deformation response; i.e. at the moment of target interaction with an accelerating impact or MHz stress wave excitation. Additionally, the capability of solid-state NMR to differentiate the microstructure-mediated segmental dynamics; correspondingly, the presence of a rigid phase (those in the phase-mixed regions) and a mobile phase associated with the soft-segment domains is demonstrated. These new insights not only further elucidate the microstructure details discerned through atomic force microscopy, but also enable the prediction of the macroscopically dynamic response in these model PUUs, particularly on the temporal scale over the range of μs–ns.

The first "Individual Efficiency Test" (1920) for all Soldiers consisted of a 100-yard run, running broad jump, wall climb, hand grenade throw, and obstacle course. The first scientific efforts involved testing of 400 Soldiers and a factor analysis of 25 individual test items. In 1944, this resulted in a 7-item test (pull-up, burpee, squat jump, push-up, man-carry, sit-up and 300-yard run) with a 100-point scoring system. In 1943, women were encouraged to take a "self-assessment" consisting of push-ups, bent knee sit-ups, wing lifts, squat thrusts, running, and a stork stand. In 1946, age-adjusted standards were introduced and in 1965 semiannual fitness assessments were mandated. The number of tests proliferated in the 1969-1973 period with 7 separate assessments. The current APFT consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run was introduced in 1980 and alternative tests for those with physical limitations in 1982. Current efforts to revise the assessment involve systematic literature reviews and validating the relationship between test items and common Soldiering tasks.

JO - Surface Science JF - Surface Science Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 622 M3 - Article SP - 71 EP - 82 SN - 00396028 AB - We report a DFT/GGA study of water adsorption and charge transfer at the relaxed (110) surfaces of several III–V binary semiconductors: GaAs, GaSb, and InAs. Our calculations are the first to show that adsorption of dissociated water changes the (110) surface structure. The characteristic III–V bond rotation through an angle of 30° is reversed. The buckled III–V bond at the semiconductor/water interface rotates into the surface through a new angle, which we calculate to be approximately 11° on all three binaries. Only dissociation of water – as opposed to chemisorption or physisorption – leads to this pseudo-unrelaxed configuration. We calculate geometries and reaction energies for several different adsorption mechanisms and find that molecular adsorption is the most favorable. We are able to reproduce binding configurations and energies for known adsorption sites on GaAs(110), but we also show new calculations for water on GaSb(110) and InAs(110). Lastly, we calculate the shift in electronic work function and induced surface dipole moment due to adsorbed water. We show that shifts in work function maximize at 1 ML of water, consistent with previous experimental works. Analysis of the partial charges and electron density reveals that adsorption of water polarizes the (110) surface, leading to local charge transfer across the semiconductor/water interface.

However, while planning and scientific assessments have advanced substantially, successful re-operation of infrastructure to achieve environmental benefits has been more limited. The Sustainable Rivers Project (SRP) was formalized in 2002, as a national partnership between the United States Army Corps of Engineers and The Nature Conservancy to define and implement environmental flows through adaptive reservoir management. The project has focused on eight demonstration basins containing 36 Corps dams, but is designed to direct the collective experience from these sites to help guide agency-wide operational changes for as many as 600 dams to benefit up to 80 000 river kilometres and tens of thousands of hectares of related floodplain and estuarine habitat. This article summarizes the progress to date on defining and implementing environmental flows through the SRP, and evaluates the technical, social, legal, and institutional factors that act as dominant enabling conditions and constraints to implementation.Editor Z.W.

Cependant, alors que les évaluations en matières scientifique et de planification ont fait de substantiels progrès, la redéfinition de la gestion des infrastructures en vue de l’amélioration de l’environnement n’a pas été aussi fructueuse. Le Projet « Rivières durable » a été lancé en 2002, comme un partenariat national entre l’ « United States Army Corps of Engineers » (USACE) et « The Nature Conservancy » pour définir et mettre en œuvre de débits environnementaux pour la gestion adaptative des réservoirs. Le projet s’est concentré sur huit bassins de démonstration comprenant 36 barrages du USACE, mais est a été conçu pour diriger l’expérience collective à partir de ces sites afin de guider les changements opérationnels pour pas moins de 600 barrages et bénéficier à 80 000 km de rivières et des dizaines de milliers d’hectares de plaines inondables annexes et d’habitat estuarien. Le présent article résume l’état actuel d’avancement du projet en ce qui concerne la définition et la mise en œuvre des débits environnementaux dans le projet, et évalue les facteurs techniques, sociaux, juridiques et institutionnels qui conditionnent et contraignent sa mise en œuvre.

Unlike most previous approaches in compressed sensing for radar in general and SAR in particular, we take advantage of the sparsity of the scene and the correlation between the transmitted and received signal directly in the raw time domain even before attempting image formation. Our framework can be viewed as a collection of practical sparsity-driven preprocessing algorithms for radar applications that restores and denoises raw radar signals at each aperture position independently, leading to a significant reduction in the memory requirement as well as the computational complexity of the sparse recovery process. Recovery results from real-world data collected by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) UWB SAR systems illustrate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed framework on two critical applications: 1) recovery of missing spectral information in multiple frequency bands and 2) adaptive extraction and/or suppression of radio frequency interference (RFI) signals from SAR data records.

The use of CFRP offers an attractive option for mitigating structures exposed to blasts. However, the effect of high strain rates in CFRP composites commonly used in the civil industry is unknown. This research conducted tensile tests of 21 CFRP coupons using a hydraulically powered dynamic loader. The strain rates ranged from 0.0015 s―1 to 7.86 s―1 and are representative of strain rates that CFRP may see in a blast when used to strengthen reinforced concrete structures. The results of the testing showed no increase in the tensile strength or stiffness of the CFRP at the higher strain rates. In addition, the results showed significant scatter in the tensile strengths possibly due to the rate of loading or manufacture of the coupon.

This analysis expands on a 2011 study that examined characteristics of a tilt-phase component discovered in the standard theory of SE turbulence effects characterization. The analysis introduces an improved integration technique and a reformulated phase structure function, facilitating computation of a 38,007 element database of MTF results at low- to high-angular frequencies covering a wide range of diffraction and turbulence conditions. Analysis of this database is described, yielding a new analytic SE MTF, accurate to a root-mean-square error of 0.000218 versus the database. Comparisons show that the new expression is well correlated to an alternative computationally intensive method, and it is a factor 29 to 64 improvement over prior analytic expressions. Limits of applicability of the approach for incoherent imaging are also discussed. The low-computational cost of the new method is suitable for systems performance modeling of turbulence impacts, including path-varying turbulence scenarios.

The objective of this study is to develop an innovative treatment process to remove both perchlorate and energetic compounds simultaneously from PAX-21 production wastewater. It was hypothesized that the pretreatment of PAX-21 wastewater with zero-valent iron (ZVI) would convert energetic compounds to products that are more amenable for biological oxidation and that these products serve as electron donors for perchlorate-reducing bacteria. Results of batch ZVI reduction experiments showed that DNAN was completely reduced to 2,4-diaminoanisole and RDX was completely reduced to formaldehyde. Anaerobic batch biodegradation experiments showed that perchlorate (30 mg L−1) in ZVI-treated PAX-21 wastewater was decreased to an undetectable level after 5 days. Batch biodegradation experiments also confirmed that formaldehyde in ZVI-treated wastewater was the primary electron donor for perchlorate-respiring bacteria. The integrated iron-anaerobic bioreactor system was effective in completely removing energetic compounds and perchlorate from the PAX-21 wastewater without adding an exogenous electron donor. This study demonstrated that ZVI pretreatment not only removed energetic compounds, but also transformed energetic compounds to products that can serve as the source of electrons for perchlorate-respiring bacteria.

JO - Tree Physiology JF - Tree Physiology Y1 - 2014/04// VL - 34 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 404 EP - 414 SN - 0829318X AB - In resprouting species, fire-induced topkill causes a reduction in height and leaf area without a comparable reduction in the size of the root system, which should lead to an increase in the efficiency of water transport after fire. However, large plants undergo a greater relative reduction in size, compared with small plants, so we hypothesized that this enhancement in hydraulic efficiency would be greatest among large growth forms. In the ecotone between long-leaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) savannas and wetlands, we measured stomatal conductance (gs), mid-day leaf water potential (Ψleaf), leaf-specific whole-plant hydraulic conductance (KL.p), leaf area and height of 10 species covering a range of growth forms in burned and unburned sites. As predicted, KL.p was higher in post-fire resprouts than in unburned plants, and the post-fire increase in KL.p was positively related to plant size. Specifically, large-statured species tended to undergo the greatest relative reductions in leaf area and height, and correspondingly experienced the greatest increases in KL.p. The post-fire increase in KL.p was smaller than expected, however, due to a decrease in absolute root hydraulic conductance (i.e., not scaled to leaf area). The higher KL.p in burned sites was manifested as an increase in gs rather than an increase in Ψleaf. Post-fire increases in gs should promote high rates of photosynthesis for recovery of carbohydrate reserves and aboveground biomass, which is particularly important for large-statured species that require more time to recover their pre-fire size.

The decrease in absorbance at 268 nm with the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) allows measurement of the ascorbate disappearance in the reaction with excess chlorite. The measured rate constant at 25 ± 0.02°C, 3.67 × 10−4 M DMSO, ionic strength 0.51 M (NaClO4), and in the presence of 3.32 × 10−9 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is 13.81 ± 1.30 M−1 s−1. Rate constant measurements over the range 15-35°C gave an Arrhenius activation energy of 75.51 ± 4.53 kJ mol−1. This result is the first reported determination of the kinetics of this reaction and is consistent with either electron- or oxygen-transfer mechanisms. Anomalously, reduction of chlorite results in its oxidation, because intermediate hypochlorite oxidizes chlorite.

Limited information is available about tick populations or pathogens in this area, and no data regarding frequency of tick bites or prevention measures among Gettysburg NMP employees are available. To address these gaps, ticks were collected, classified, and replaced (to minimize disruptions to tick populations) at two sites within Gettysburg NMP during April-September, 2009, among eight nonremoval samplings. On two additional occasions during May and June, 2009, ticks were collected and removed from the two original sites plus 10 additional sites and tested for tick-borne pathogens by using PCR. A self-administered anonymous survey of Gettysburg NMP employees was conducted to determine knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding tick-borne diseases. Peak Ixodes scapularis nymph populations were observed during May-July. Of 115 I. scapularis ticks tested, 21% were infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, including 18% of 74 nymphs and 27% of 41 adults; no other pathogen was identified. The entomologic risk index was calculated at 1.3 infected nymphs/hour. An adult and nymph Amblyomma americanum were also found, representing the first confirmed field collection of this tick in Pennsylvania, but no pathogens were detected. The survey revealed that most park employees believed Lyme disease was a problem at Gettysburg NMP and that they frequently found ticks on their skin and clothing. However, use of personal preventive measures was inconsistent, and 6% of respondents reported contracting Lyme disease while employed at Gettysburg NMP. These findings indicate a need to improve surveillance for tick bites among employees and enhance prevention programs for park staff and visitors.

Smooth X-ray energy tunability is achieved by rotating the crystal with respects to the electron beam direction. Experiments at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 60-MeV LINAC produce quasi-monochromatic X-rays (6–35 keV) from various target crystals to include highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), LiF, Si, Ge, Cu, and W using electron beam currents up to 6 uA. These experiments demonstrate the first PXR images and some of the merits of thin metallic crystals. Recent experiments with a 100-μm thick Cu crystal improve the Cu PXR (with energy ∼12 keV) to Cu fluorescence ratio by a factor of 20 compared to a 1 mm-thick Cu crystal. This study uses Monte Carlo techniques to investigate (1) PXR dose compared to emissions from simulated Mo, Rh, and W anodes for mammography applications and (2) electron scattering effects when considering LiF111, Si111, and Cu111 PXR production using electron beams with energies of 20–30 MeV. Advantages in using monochromatic PXR compared to X-rays from Mo and Rh anodes in mammography applications result in a dose per incident photon reduction by a factor of 2. Using 20 MeV electrons, the thinner Cu111 crystal for 15 keV PXR production results in an electron scattering angle of 30.7+/-0.2 mrad offering the best potential for PXR from lower energy electrons.

JO - Hydrobiologia JF - Hydrobiologia Y1 - 2009/03/15/ VL - 623 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 213 EP - 222 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00188158 AB - Almost 95% of the entire population of the Siberian crane ( Grus leucogeranus) winter in Poyang Lake, China, where they forage on the tubers of the submerged aquatic macrophyte Vallisneria spiralis. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River may possibly affect this food source of the Siberian crane by affecting the light intensity reaching the top of the V. spiralis canopy. In this study, the photosynthetically active radiation at the top of the V. spiralis canopy (PARtc) in Lake Dahuchi was modeled from 1998 to 2006, and the potential impacts of changes in water level and turbidity on the underwater light climate of V. spiralis were analyzed. PARtc was calculated from incident irradiance while the losses due to reflection at the water surface, absorption, and scattering within the water column were taken into consideration. The results indicated significant differences in PARtc between years. Six years of water level and Secchi disk depth records revealed a seasonal switching of the lake from a turbid state at low water levels in autumn, winter, and spring to a clear state at high water levels during the monsoon in summer. The highest PARtc occurred at intermediate water levels, which were reached when the Yangtze River forces Lake Dahuchi out of its turbid state in early summer and the water becomes clear. The intended operation of the Three Gorges Dam, which will increase water levels in May and June, may advance the moment when Lake Dahuchi switches from turbid to clear. We suggest that this might increase production of V. spiralis and possibly improve the food habitat conditions for wintering Siberian crane in Poyang Lake .

Therefore, there is a need to develop load and damage identification techniques that utilize only one sensor. Two passive force estimation techniques are investigated in this work. The techniques focus on either the shape or the amplitude of the magnitude of the applied force in the frequency domain. Both techniques iteratively reduce an underdetermined set of equations of motion into many overdetermined systems of equations to solve for the force estimates. The techniques are shown to locate and quantify impulsive impacts with over 97% accuracy and non-impulsive impacts with at least 87% accuracy. A filament-wound rocket motor casing is used as a test structure. Impacts not acting at a specific input degree of freedom are also accurately located depending on the distance away from the modeled input degrees of freedom, and damaging impact forces are quantified by making assumptions about the impulsive nature of the applied force.

The system obtained measurements in the nearshore via a high-resolution Campbell Scientific CSAT3 3D sonic anemometer and five high-frequency saltwater wave staffs. An advantage of the air–sea momentum system is that direct measurements of the atmospheric turbulent fluctuations can be obtained and applied to the calculation of momentum transfer at the air–sea interface. The Campbell Scientific CSAT3 sonic anemometer was postcalibrated under turbulent wind conditions to determine incident wind direction measurements influenced by the geometry of the instrument. Measurement results are compared to a pre-established benchmark, constant tow speed; and the mean wind speed, incident wind direction, and spectral density characteristics are evaluated to resolve specific instrument orientations in which the measurements are corrupted by the head and probe supports of the sonic anemometer. Calibration testing of the sonic anemometer determined that the mean wind speeds are reduced by 16% over a 40° range for incident wind angles of 160°–200° relative to the head of the anemometer. Tilting the anemometer is found to decrease mean wind speed reduction influenced by the geometry of the anemometer. Variations in the measured wind directions were found to be greater than 1° for incident wind angles between 160° and 200° for 0° and 10° of tilt. Spectral characteristics were highly repeatable for all wind angles except for incident wind angles of 180° for 0° and 10° of tilt.

Web cameras have been used to monitor real-time ice conditions at hydropower plants, navigation reaches, or locations of ice-related flooding. This study demonstrates how Web cameras can also be used to investigate river ice processes. Hourly images taken over three winters at the confluence of the Allegheny River and Oil Creek in Oil City, Pa. were analyzed. Each image was manually reviewed and classified according to surface ice conditions: stationary ice cover, frazil ice, brash ice, or open lead formation in an ice cover. The percentage of the channel width in the image covered by each ice condition was recorded. The time series of ice data are presented along with the concurrent hydrological and meteorological data. The Web cameras were operational during the 2000–2001, 2001–2002, and 2002–2003 winter seasons and provided an effective and relatively inexpensive means of monitoring and analyzing the river ice conditions.

These applications require switching components that are low in weight and volume, exhibit reliable performance, and are easy to integrate into the vehicles' systems. The devices reported here are 4 mm × 4 mm silicon carbide GTOs rated for 3000 V blocking. These devices were packaged at ARL for high pulse current capability, high voltage protection, and minimum package inductance. The GTOs were switched in a 1-ms half-sine, single-pulse discharge circuit to determine reliable peak current and recovery time (or Tq). The GTOs were repeatedly switched over 300 A peak (3.3 A/cm2 and an action of 60 A2s) with a recovery time of 20 µs. The switches were also evaluated for dV/dt immunity up to an instantaneous slope of 3 kV/ µs.

The dynamic programming principle leads to a Hamiltion-Jacobi-Bellman equation, which, for the current case, is a backward stochastic partial differential variational inequality (BSPDVI, for short) for the value function. Well-posedness of such a BSPDVI is established, and a verification theorem is proved.

Methods: Two randomized, repeated-measures experiments were performed. In one, 10 volunteers drank 3 carbohydrate-protein beverages (380 kcal, 76 g carbohydrate, 19 g protein, 2 g fat) in separate (>7 days) trials, each differing in protein type. All drinks consisted of cocoa (4 g) and nonfat dry milk (1 g) supplemented with casein (CAS), whey (WP), or a casein and whey blend (CAS-WP). Ten additional volunteers consumed the same drinks after 60 min of varying-intensity exercise (60% and 85% VO2peak). Blood glucose, insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide (GIP), and AAs were measured every 15-30 min for 4 hr after beverage consumption. Results: Branchedchain AA concentrations peaked at 30 min and did not differ between beverages at rest (0.69 ± 0.12 mmol/L) or postexercise (0.70 ± 0.07 mmol/L). There were no significant differences between beverages with respect to initial (time 0-60) or total area under the curve (time 0-240) for any outcome measures at rest or postexercise. Conclusion: High-carbohydrate beverages containing various proportions of milk proteins procured from a supplier to the commercial industry had no impact on AA concentration. Retrospective chemical analysis of commercial proteins showed that casein was partially hydrolyzed; therefore, consumers should carefully consider the manufacturer (to ensure that the product contains intact protein) or other factors (i.e., cost or taste) when procuring these beverages for their purported physiological effects.

The robotics tasks involved managing a semiautonomous ground robot or teleoperating a ground robot to conduct reconnaissance tasks. We also evaluated whether aided target recognition (AiTR) capabilities (delivered either through tactile or tactile + visual cueing) for the gunnery task might benefit the concurrent robotics and communication tasks. Results showed that participants' gunnery task performance degraded significantly when they had to concurrently monitor, manage, or teleoperate an unmanned ground vehicle compared to the gunnery-single task condition. When there was AiTR to assist them with their gunnery task, operators' concurrent performance of robotics and communication tasks improved significantly. However, there was a tendency for participants to over-rely on automation when task load was heavy, and performance degradations were observed in instances where automation failed to be entirely reliable. Participants' spatial ability was found to be a reliable predictor of robotics task performance, although the performance gap between those with higher and lower spatial ability appeared to be narrower when the AiTR was available to assist the gunnery task. Participants' perceived workload increased consistently as the concurrent task conditions became more challenging and when their gunnery task was unassisted. Individual difference factors such as spatial ability and perceived attentional control were found to correlate significantly with some of the performance measures. Implications for military personnel selection were discussed.

The infrastructure assessment tools included one pen and paper checklist and two software-based tools based on specialized handheld hardware for data collection in combat conditions. Evaluation was conducted using macroergonomic and applied cognitive task analysis methods with soldiers of varying levels of infrastructure assessment expertise. Each assessment method was evaluated based on performance (time, errors, and accuracy) and usability (ergonomic and cognitive challenges). We found that soldiers documented more accurate data using handheld digital devices instead of pen-and-paper assessment forms, but there was little difference in time between the methods. Contrary to initial expectation, we also found that most soldiers prefer a slightly more difficult to use handheld assessment device with customized checklists rather than an easier to use, less restrictive device. Critiques developed by this research can be used to improve engineering and construction organizations as well as add to our design guidelines for portable infrastructure assessment tools and methods.

People with PD, their families, scientists, health care providers, and the general public are increasingly interested in identifying environmental contributors to PD risk. METHODS: In June 2007, a multidisciplinary group of experts gathered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, to assess what is known about the contribution of environmental factors to PD. RESULTS: We describe the conclusions around which they came to consensus with respect to environmental contributors to PD risk. We conclude with a brief summary of research needs. CONCLUSIONS: PD is a complex disorder, and multiple different pathogenic pathways and mechanisms can ultimately lead to PD. Within the individual there are many determinants of PD risk, and within populations, the causes of PD are heterogeneous. Although rare recognized genetic mutations are sufficient to cause PD, these account for < 10% of PD in the U.S. population, and incomplete penetrance suggests that environmental factors may be involved. Indeed, interplay among environmental factors and genetic makeup likely influences the risk of developing PD. There is a need for further understanding of how risk factors interact, and studying PD is likely to increase understanding of other neurodegenerative disorders.

This research adds to and extends such work within a military context. Specifically, we explore relations among various forms (e.g., affective, normative, and continuance) of both team- and military-focused commitment and several supervisory-rated performance criteria. Across the different criteria, team-focused commitment tended to be a stronger predictor of performance than military-oriented commitment did. However, military-oriented commitment was inversely related to supervisory ratings of soldiers' negative behaviors. We discuss the psychological mechanisms that likely drive these findings, the implications of this work, and several potentially fruitful next steps within this research domain.

Interventions that enhance visual attention might also enhance change detection, because focused attention has been identified as a requirement for change detection. Given current claims that habitual experience with action video games can increase attentional resources, we investigated whether such experience would lessen the incidence of change blindness in two change detection tasks. Although we replicated a previously demonstrated difference between players and nonplayers on the flanker-compatibility test (Green & Bavelier, 2003), we failed to find evidence that habitual action video game players were superior to nonplayers when it came to change detection.

In addition to the cognitive processing burden imposed upon modern warfighters, the effects of stress upon cognition and action must also be accounted for in evaluating individual warfighting capabilities. The current study examines the relationship between stress and cognition by measuring performance on a multiple object tracking (MOT) task after exposure to stress-inducing photographs. Postexposure performance revealed significant decrements in MOT accuracy relative to a nonstressed control group. Implications are discussed regarding the impact of stress on attentional selection for operational scenarios where it is difficult to distinguish friendly individuals from those with hostile intentions, as well as for the development of technology for command, control, communications (computers), and intelligence (C4I) systems.

SN - 07490208 AB - Aspects of northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida panhandle) processes and barrier islands that are pertinent to their geomorphologic response are contrasted with the broader knowledge base summarized by SCHWARTZ (1973) and LEATHERMAN (1979, 1985). Salient findings from studies documenting the short-term (storm-induced; timescales of hours, days, and weeks) and long-term (timescales of years, decades, and centuries) response of barrier island systems in the NGOM are synthesized into a conceptual model. The conceptual model illustrates the hypothetical evolution of three barrier island morphologies as they evolve through a typical Category 1-2 hurricane, including poststorm recovery (days to weeks) and long-term evolution (years to decades). Primary factors in barrier island geomorphologic response to storms, regardless of location, are the elevation of the island relative to storm (surge plus setup) elevation, and duration of the storm. Unique aspects of the NGOM barrier islands, compared with knowledge summarized for other barrier types, include (1) storm paths, wind speed, and large bays that create the potential for both Gulf and bayshore erosion and (2) in Louisiana and Mississippi, the potential for loading of the underlying substrate by the barrier island, which, through time, increases consolidation, relative sea level rise, overwash, morphologic change, and migration. We recommend that design of large-scale beach restoration projects incorporate the potential for (1) time-dependent consolidation of the underlying sediment due to project loading and future migration, (2) Gulf and bayshore erosion and overwash, and (3) eolian transport toward the Gulf from north winds.

This project aimed to (1) develop a computerized weight and fitness database to track individuals and Army units over lime allowing cross-sectional and longitudinal evaluations and (2) test the computerized system for feasibility and integrity of data collection over several years of usage. The computer application, the Military Services Fitness Database (MSFD), was designed for (1) storage and tracking of data related to height, weight, %BF tot the Army Weight Control Program (AWCP) and Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and (2) generation of reports using these data. A 2.5-year pilot test of the MSFD indicated that it monitors population and individual trends of changing body weight, %BF, and fitness in a military population.

This work introduces a new design constraint that considers driving link static torque for a given rigid-body load. By incorporating this new constraint into conventional planar four-bar motion generation models (Sandor and Erdman, 1984; Suh and Radcliffe 1978), planar four-bar mechanisms are synthesized to achieve not only prescribed rigid-body poses, but also to satisfy prescribed driver static torque for a given rigid-body load. The included example demonstrates the synthesis of a four-bar braking mechanism.

One hundred percent of the initial RDX was degraded in the sulfate-amended culture within 3 days of incubation. In the sulfate-unamended cultures, 35% of the initial RDX remained after 3 days and 8% after 7 days of incubation. Based on the T-RFLP distribution of the community 16S rDNA genes, the microcosm consisted predominantly of two organisms, a Geobacter sp. (78%) and an Acetobacterium sp. (14%). However, in the presence of sulfate, both species decreased to less than 3% of the total population within 3 days and an unclassified Clostridiaceae became the dominant organism at 40% the total fragment distribution. This indicated the explosive-degrading consortium had greater diversity than initially perceived and rapidly adapted to a readily available electron acceptor, which in turn stimulated RDX degradation.

SN - 09567976 AB - Readers mentally simulate the objects and events described in narratives. One common assumption is that readers mentally embody an actor's perspective; alternatively, readers might mentally simulate events from an external “onlooker” perspective. Two experiments examined the role of pronouns in modulating a reader's adopted perspective when comprehending simple event sentences. Experiment 1 demonstrated that readers embody an actor's perspective when the pronoun you or I is used, but take an external perspective when he is used. Experiment 2 , however, found that a short discourse context preceding the event sentence led readers to adopt an external perspective with the pronoun I. These experiments demonstrate that pronoun variation and discourse context mediate the degree of embodiment experienced during narrative comprehension: In all cases, readers mentally simulate objects and events, but they embody an actor's perspective only when directly addressed as the subject of a sentence.

Simple and transparent formulas for the cross-shore and longshore transport rates of suspended sediment and bed load on beaches are proposed and incorporated into a combined wave and current model to predict the berm and dune erosion under normally and obliquely incident irregular waves. Two small-scale experiments for two different berm profiles were conducted for the calibration of the developed numerical model. The calibrated numerical model is shown to predict the measured berm and dune erosion in these experiments as well as dune erosion measured in three large-scale tests with errors less than a factor of two. The numerical model is used to examine the effects of the wave period and incident wave angle on the berm and dune erosion. These effects are computed to be within a factor of two.

Model geometry is based on hydrographic surveys obtained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 2006. The model is forced with time-varying tidal boundary conditions at the east and west ends of the Canal, and predicts velocity and discharge at selected locations within the canal. The model was calibrated using current meter data obtained between October 1992 and October 1993, when USACE operated recording current meters in and adjacent to the canal. Following selection of these parameters, the model was run to simulate other periods between October 1992 and October 1993. Comparison of model and prototype current speeds for these simulations demonstrates the ability of the model to reproduce observed flows accurately under a range of tidal forcing conditions. The model was used to describe the average net flow in the canal which is normally from the Chesapeake to the Delaware but which reversed during the Northeaster of December 1992, a period of unusually high meteorologically driven tides of the Delaware Estuary.

T1 - Beyond traditional surveillance: applying syndromic surveillance todeveloping settings -- opportunities and challenges. JO - BMC Public Health JF - BMC Public Health Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 9 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 242 EP - 252 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712458 AB - Background: All countries need effective disease surveillance systems for early detection of outbreaks. The revised International Health Regulations [IHR], which entered into force for all 194 World Health Organization member states in 2007, have expanded traditional infectious disease notification to include surveillance for public health events of potential international importance, even if the causative agent is not yet known. However, there are no clearly established guidelines for how countries should conduct this surveillance, which types of emerging disease syndromes should be reported, nor any means for enforcement. Discussion: The commonly established concept of syndromic surveillance in developed regions encompasses the use of pre-diagnostic information in a near real time fashion for further investigation for public health action. Syndromic surveillance is widely used in North America and Europe, and is typically thought of as a highly complex, technology driven automated tool for early detection of outbreaks. Nonetheless, low technology applications of syndromic surveillance are being used worldwide to augment traditional surveillance. Summary: In this paper, we review examples of these novel applications in the detection of vector-borne diseases, foodborne illness, and sexually transmitted infections. We hope to demonstrate that syndromic surveillance in its basic version is a feasible and effective tool for surveillance in developing countries and may facilitate compliance with the new IHR guidelines.

As a result, protecting buildings from CB attacks has become an important design consideration. A methodology has been developed to provide decision makers with the ability to assess multiple building designs for protection against an internal CB release. This methodology includes modeling and simulation of CB contaminant dispersion, a quantitative means to calculate a building’s protection level, and a weighted sum, multiple objective optimization for design selection. This paper outlines the phases in the methodology, and focuses on the application of multizone modeling and optimization techniques to compare design alternatives. The assessment of design options for CB protection in a hospital emergency room is used as an illustrative example. Optimal design options are determined based on the weighted combination functions for the building’s protection level, initial capital costs, and ongoing operations and maintenance costs.

JO - Pacific Science JF - Pacific Science Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 63 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 82 PB - University of Hawaii Press SN - 00308870 AB - Hawaiian fringing reefs display sand bodies on their surfaces that are potentially important components of littoral sediment budgets. This work provides a regional survey of modern reef-top sediment storage and investigated geologic controls on sediment storage potential. Sand bodies are formed when sediment accumulates in topographic depressions that are the result of meteoric water eroding the emerged carbonate reef platform during periods of lower sea level. The relief of some depressions may be modified by Holocene reef accretion. Depression morphology exerts a strong control on volume and internal distribution of sediment. In this study a total of 205 jet probe thickness measurements was collected from 54 major sand bodies on the fringing reef (0-20 m depth) adjacent to 22 km of Southeast O'ahu coastline (Kailua, Lanikai, and Waimānalo). Volumes were determined and synthesized with previous volume estimates of coastal subaerial and deeper submarine sediment bodies (20-200 m depth), giving the total sediment storage within the coastal system. Sand bodies range from 50 to 2,800 m from shore. Measured thickness varied from 0 to greater than 3.0 m with a mean of 0.95 m. For this study sand bodies were classified into three dominate morphologies: channel, field, and karst depression. The volume of sediment stored in channels was 58,253 ± 618 x l0³ m³, fields contained 171 ± 6 x l0³ m³, and karst depressions contained 1,332 ± 248 x l0³ m³. Correlation of sediment body distribution with reef and coastal plain morphology revealed potential geologic controls on sand body formation in this region. Meteoric runoff and reef slope are important controls on spatial distribution of sand bodies.

The goal is to reveal, for each gene that responds to a certain biological event, which transcription factors affect its expression, and how a set of transcription factors coordinate to accomplish temporal and spatial specific regulations. Results: Here we propose a supervised machine learning approach to address these questions. We focus our study on the gene transcriptional regulation of the cell cycle in the budding yeast, thanks to the large amount of data available and relatively well-understood biology, although the main ideas of our method can be applied to other data as well. Our method starts with building an ensemble of decision trees for each microarray data to capture the association between the expression levels of yeast genes and the binding of transcription factors to gene promoter regions, as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation microarray (ChIP-chip) experiment. Cross-validation experiments show that the method is more accurate and reliable than the naive decision tree algorithm and several other ensemble learning methods. From the decision tree ensembles, we extract logical rules that explain how a set of transcription factors act in concert to regulate the expression of their targets. We further compute a profile for each rule to show its regulation strengths at different time points. We also propose a spline interpolation method to integrate the rule profiles learned from several time series expression data sets that measure the same biological process. We then combine these rule profiles to build a transcriptional regulatory network for the yeast cell cycle. Compared to the results in the literature, our method correctly identifies all major known yeast cell cycle transcription factors, and assigns them into appropriate cell cycle phases. Our method also identifies many interesting synergetic relationships among these transcription factors, most of which are well known, while many of the rest can also be supported by other evidences. Conclusion: The high accuracy of our method indicates that our method is valid and robust. As more gene expression and transcription factor binding data become available, we believe that our method is useful for reconstructing large-scale transcriptional regulatory networks in other species as well.

SNTHERM is a multilayer snow model developed to describe changes in snow properties as a function of depth and time, using a one-dimensional mass and energy balance. The model is intended for seasonal snow covers and addresses conditions found throughout the winter, from initial ground freezing in the fall to snow ablation in the spring. It has been used by many researchers over a variety of terrains. FASST is a newly developed one-dimensional dynamic state-of-the-ground model. It calculates the ground’s moisture content, ice content, temperature, and freeze–thaw profiles as well as soil strength and surface ice and snow accumulation/depletion. Because FASST is newer and not as well known, the authors wanted to determine its use as a snow model by comparing it with SNTHERM, one of the most established snow models available. It is demonstrated that even though FASST is only a single-layer snow model, the RMSE snow depth compared very favorably against SNTHERM, often performing better during the accumulation phase. The surface energy fluxes calculated by the two models were also compared and were found to be similar.

The spatial variability of shortwave irradiance during melt under uniform and discontinuous evergreen canopies at a U.S. Rocky Mountains site was measured, analyzed, and then compared to observations from mountain and boreal forests in Canada. All observations used arrays of pyranometers randomly spaced under evergreen canopies of varying structure and latitude. The spatial variability of irradiance for both overcast and clear conditions declined dramatically, as the sample averaging interval increased from minutes to 1 day. At daily averaging intervals, there was little influence of cloudiness on the variability of subcanopy irradiance; instead, it was dominated by stand structure. The spatial variability of irradiance on daily intervals was higher for the discontinuous canopies, but it did not scale reliably with canopy sky view. The spatial variation in irradiance resulted in a coefficient of variation of melt energy of 0.23 for the set of U.S. and Canadian stands. This variability in melt energy smoothed the snow-covered area depletion curve in a distributed melt simulation, thereby lengthening the duration of melt by 20%. This is consistent with observed natural snow cover depletion curves and shows that variations in melt energy and snow accumulation can influence snow-covered area depletion under forest canopies.

It was the most intensively measured site of the CLPX, and measurements here had the greatest temporal component of all CLPX sites. Measurements made at the LSOS were designed to produce a comprehensive assessment of the snow, soil, and vegetation characteristics viewed by the ground-based remote sensing instruments. The objective of the ground-based microwave remote sensing was to collect time series of active and passive microwave spectral signatures over snow, soil, and forest, which is coincident with the intensive physical characterization of these features. Ground-based remote sensing instruments included frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars operating over multiple microwave bandwidths; the Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer (GBMR-7) operating at channels 18.7, 23.8, 36.5, and 89 GHz; and in 2003, an L-, C-, X- and Ku-band scatterometer radar system. Snow and soil measurements included standard snow physical properties, snow wetness, snow depth transects, and soil moisture. The stem and canopy temperature and xylem sap flux of several trees were monitored continuously. Five micrometeorological towers monitored ambient conditions and provided forcing datasets for 1D snow and soil models. Arrays of pyranometers (0.3–3 μm) and a scanning thermal radiometer (8–12 μm) characterized the variability of radiative receipt in the forests. A field spectroradiometer measured the hyperspectral hemispherical-directional reflectance of the snow surface. These measurements, together with the ground-based remote sensing, provide the framework for evaluating and improving microwave radiative transfer models and coupling them to land surface models. The dataset is archived at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado.

Postspawn kelts examined in downstream fish bypass systems at Columbia River and Snake River dams were disproportionately female (>80%) and majorities were of wild origin, unlike prespawn steelhead at these sites. Annual repeat migration estimates varied from 2.9% to 9.0% for kelts tagged at lower Columbia River dams (n = 2542) and from 0.5% to 1.2% for Snake River kelts (n = 3762). Among-site differences reflected greater outmigration distance and additional dam passage hazards for Snake River kelts. There was also strong evidence for condition-dependent mortality, with returns an order of magnitude higher for good- versus poor-condition kelts. Disproportionately more females and wild fish also returned, providing potentially valuable genetic and demographic benefits for the Columbia River’s threatened steelhead populations.

Les charognards d’après la fraie examinés dans les systèmes de passes migratoires de dérivation vers l’aval aux barrages des rivières Columbia et Snake sont de façon disproportionnée de sexe féminin (>80 %) et la plupart des individus sont d’origine sauvage, contrairement aux truites arc-en-ciel anadromes à ces mêmes sites avant la fraie. Les estimations de l’importance des migrations annuelles répétées varient de 2,9–9,0 % chez les charognards marqués aux barrages du Columbia inférieur (n = 2542) et de 0,5–1,2 % chez les charognards de la Snake (n = 3762). Les différences entre les sites reflètent la plus grande distance de migration vers la mer et les risques additionnels du passage des barrages pour les charognards de la Snake. Il y a aussi de fortes indications de l’existence d’une mortalité reliée à la condition; en effet, les retours sont dix fois plus abondants chez les charognards en bonne condition que chez ceux en mauvaise condition. De façon disproportionnée, il y a aussi plus de retours de femelles et de poissons sauvages, ce qui apporte potentiellement des bénéfices génétiques et démographiques précieux aux populations menacées de truites arc-en-ciel anadromes du Columbia. Globalement, nos résultats fournissent les données de base nécessaires pour évaluer les efforts de mitigation de la mortalité des charognards, ainsi que des informations démographiques fondamentales pour planifier la conservation de la truite arc-en-ciel anadrome.

Testing was conducted using two loading conditions simulated to represent those conditions created in the field. The lower condition was represented by a 24-kg mass impactor with a velocity of 4.7 m/s. The higher loading condition was represented by a 37-kg mass impactor with a velocity of 8.3 m/s. Two biomechanical surrogates were evaluated using the loading conditions: 50th percentile Hybrid III foot/ankle and Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint THOR-Lx. Comparisons of the force-time response were made to established corridors. Results show a better correlation to the corridors with the THOR-Lx; however, future improvements to the THOR-Lx are recommended.

U.S. Army paratroopers rely on their ballistic helmets for protection against TBIs when jumping. Currently, two different helmets are available to Army paratroopers, that is, the personnel tumor system for ground troops helmet and the advanced combat helmet. This study compared the incidence of self reported, jump-related TBIs in a small sample of paratroopers (N - 585) using each type of helmet. Data were obtained from surveys of soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The overall relative risk of sustaining a TBI while jumping was 2.3 times (95% confidence interval, 1.3-4.3) higher for personnel armor system for ground troops helmet users. Most of the increase in risk was accounted for by the most-minor TBIs American Academy of Neurology grade I or 2 concussion).

SN - 00222461 AB - In this work, we have processed commercial purity tungsten (W) via different routes of equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at temperatures as low as 600 °C. We have systematically evaluated the quasi-static and dynamic compressive behaviors of the processed W. Quasi-static compression tests were performed using an MTS hydro-servo system at room temperature. It is observed that samples ECAE processed at 800 °C show higher yield and flow stresses than those processed at other temperatures; no obvious strain hardening is observed in the quasi-static stress–strain curves. Quasi-static strain rate jump tests show that the strain rate sensitivity of ECAE W is in the range of 0.02 to 0.03, smaller than that of coarse-grained W. Uni-axial dynamic compressive tests were performed using the Kolsky bar (or split-Hopkinson pressure bar, SHPB) system. Post-loading SEM observations revealed that under dynamic compression, the competition between cracking at pre-existing extrinsic surface defects, grain boundaries, and uniform plastic deformation of the individual grains control the overall plastic deformation of the ECAE W. The existence of flow softening under dynamic loading has been established for all of the ECAE W specimens.

SN - 00222461 AB - Over last few decades, Al-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become a promising material of choice for lightweight armors in vehicles. Recent development in ultra-fine-grain and nanostructured material technology provides a new opportunity for the substantial strength enhancement of MMCs unattainable with the conventional microstructure of microscale, leading to significant weight reduction in armor packages. In this article, we will present the latest development of a novel class of nanostructured metal matrix composites (NMMCs) based on submicron SiC particulates reinforced nanocrystalline Al alloys. The successful fabrication of large-dimension NMMCs plates with a cost-effective synthesis and consolidation process that can be scaled up for mass production will be demonstrated. The microstructure, processing, mechanical properties, and their correlations of this class of NMMCs will also be reported. The ballistic performance of the NMMCs is investigated through a real test of high-speed machinegun bullets, and a numerical modeling as well.

A series of unilateral elbow flexion muscle contractions (30 repetitive contractions followed by 3 sets x 15 contractions) was performed at 20% of 1RM with varying levels of external compression (0 (without compression), 98, 121, and 147 mmHg external compression) around the upper arm. Electromyography (EMG) signals were recorded from surface electrodes placed on the biceps brachii muscle and analyzed for integrated EMG (iEMG). Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) decreased similarly during the control (0 mmHg) and 98 mmHg external compression bout (~18%); the decline in MVC with 121 and 147 mmHg external compression was significantly greater (~37%). Muscle activation increased progressively throughout the contraction bout with each level of external compression, but iEMG was significantly greater during 147 mmHg external compression. In conclusion, low-intensity muscle contractions performed with external compression of 147 mmHg appears to alter muscle perfusion/outflow leading to increased muscle activation without decrements in work performed during the contraction bout.

The flammability properties such as heat release capacity and total heat release were measured from microscale cumbustion calorimetry (MCC). The thermal degradation temperatures, char yields, and the heat-release capacities of these nanocomposites were significantly improved over the pure polymers. The heat-release capacities of the siloxane copolymer nanocomposites with 20wt% of TiO2 were found to be 167 and 129 J/g K, which is a 35% less than the pure polymers (260 and 194 J/g K, respectively). The SEM/EDAX surface-analysis studies on nanocomposite films and their char revealed that nanocrystalline-TiO2 plays an important role in forming carbonaceous silicate char on the surface as a protective layer.

Heme has been reported to be the active catalytic center of naturally occurring peroxidases such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP). While there have been reports on the use of hematin as a catalyst for oxidative polymerization reactions, these reactions could be carried out only at high pH conditions due to limited aqueous solubility of hematin at lower pH conditions. We report here the biocatalytic modification of hematin using a lipase, Novozyme-435. Hematin has been modified by tethering monomethoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) chains which provide aqueous solubility over a fairly wide range of pH conditions. This pegylated Hematin (PEG-Hematin) is synthesized via a one-step solventless reaction and the products formed can be isolated with minimal purification. The PEG-Hematin synthesized serves as a robust alternative to HRP for the polymerization of aniline and phenol.

Dynamic light scattering studies of the block copolymer in dilute solutions indicated that the polymer chains aggregated at relatively low concentrations. The aggregations of polymer chains were observed in toluene, as well as in tetrahydrofuran at concentrations as low as 0.014 mg/mL and 0.0045 mg/mL, respectively. Thin films of the copolymer showed reversible single electron redox behavior, similar to that of ferrocene.

Observed offshore flows indicate that wave-driven undertow extends well offshore of the surf zone, over the inner shelves of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. Theoretical estimates of the wave-driven offshore transport from linear wave theory and observed wave characteristics account for 50% or more of the observed offshore transport variance in water depths between 5 and 12 m, and reproduce the observed dependence on wave height and water depth. During weak winds, wave-driven cross-shelf velocity profiles over the inner shelf have maximum offshore flow (1–6 cm s-1) and vertical shear near the surface and weak flow and shear in the lower half of the water column. The observed offshore flow profiles do not resemble the parabolic profiles with maximum flow at middepth observed within the surf zone. Instead, the vertical structure is similar to the Stokes drift velocity profile but with the opposite direction. This vertical structure is consistent with a dynamical balance between the Coriolis force associated with the offshore flow and an along-shelf “Hasselmann wave stress” due to the influence of the earth’s rotation on surface gravity waves. The close agreement between the observed and modeled profiles provides compelling evidence for the importance of the Hasselmann wave stress in forcing oceanic flows. Summer profiles are more vertically sheared than either winter profiles or model profiles, for reasons that remain unclear.

T1 - Vesicular Stomatitis Virus-Based Ebola Vaccine Is Well-Tolerated and Protects Immunocompromised Nonhuman Primates. JO - PLoS Pathogens JF - PLoS Pathogens Y1 - 2008/11// VL - 4 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 15537366 AB - Ebola virus (EBOV) is a significant human pathogen that presents a public health concern as an emerging/re-emerging virus and as a potential biological weapon. Substantial progress has been made over the last decade in developing candidate preventive vaccines that can protect nonhuman primates against EBOV. Among these prospects, a vaccine based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is particularly robust, as it can also confer protection when administered as a postexposure treatment. A concern that has been raised regarding the replication-competent VSV vectors that express EBOV glycoproteins is how these vectors would be tolerated by individuals with altered or compromised immune systems such as patients infected with HIV. This is especially important as all EBOV outbreaks to date have occurred in areas of Central and Western Africa with high HIV incidence rates in the population. In order to address this concern, we evaluated the safety of the recombinant VSV vector expressing the Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein (VSVΔG/ZEBOVGP) in six rhesus macaques infected with simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV). All six animals showed no evidence of illness associated with the VSVΔG/ ZEBOVGP vaccine, suggesting that this vaccine may be safe in immunocompromised populations. While one goal of the study was to evaluate the safety of the candidate vaccine platform, it was also of interest to determine if altered immune status would affect vaccine efficacy. The vaccine protected 4 of 6 SHIV-infected macaques from death following ZEBOV challenge. Evaluation of CD4+ T cells in all animals showed that the animals that succumbed to lethal ZEBOV challenge had the lowest CD4+ counts, suggesting that CD4+ T cells may play a role in mediating protection against ZEBOV.

The development and marketing of Spring Valley in the 1930s and 1940s reflects the changing socio-economics and settlement patterns of D.C. The data suggest a "white flight" out of the inner-city neighborhoods to Spring Valley and the surrounding suburbs. Additionally, Spring Valley, as a Formerly Used Defense Site, presents environmental hazards to the current residential community. The Army's response to this hazard demonstrates changes in military environmental policies from non-existent during the First World War to ones that take into account conservation, restoration, and sustainability.

The dispersion relation, which links the frequency to the wave number, enables us to illustrate the bandgaps. In [E. H. Lee, "A survey of variational methods for elastic wave propagation analysis in composites with periodic structures," in Dynamics of Composite Materials, E. H. Lee, ed., ASME, New York, 1972, pp. 122-138] and [E. H. Lee and W. H. Yang, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 25 (1973), pp. 492-499] the dispersion relation was studied theoretically for the one-dimensional periodic structure made of two materials arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the cell. Their dispersion relation formulas can be similarly extended to a multilayered symmetric cell configuration, but not to a general (nonsymmetric) cell configuration. The general model was considered in [M. Shen and W. Cao, J. Phys. D, 33 (2000), pp. 1150-1154], where each unit cell of the periodic layered structure contains several sublayers of arbitrary lengths and materials. Using the transfer matrix method, the dispersion relation was successfully derived, involving very lengthy explicit formulas. In this paper, we generalize the work of Lee and Yang and develop recursive dispersion relation formulas for a general cell configuration. The recursive formulas are easy to implement and, through several numerical experiments, successfully corroborate the results of Shen and Cao.

These issues may have an adverse effect on the health of military spouses. This study examined the mental health status, rates of care utilization, source of care, as well as barriers and stigma of mental health care utilization among military spouses who were seeking care in military primary care clinics. The data show spouses have similar rates of mental health problems compared to soldiers. Spouses were more likely to seek care for their mental health problems and were less concerned with the stigma of mental health care than were soldiers. Services were most often received from primary care physicians, rather than specialty mental health professionals, which may relate to the lack of availability of mental health services for spouses on military installations.

The RDB was seeded with municipal wastewater activated sludge. Removal efficiencies up to 86% and an elimination capacity of 5.3 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) m-3 · hr-1 were achieved at a filter-medium contact time of 60 sec. Efficiency increased at higher temperatures that promote higher biological activity, and decreased at lower pH, which dropped down to pH 5.5 possibly as a result of carbon dioxide and volatile fatty acid production and ammonia consumption during VOC degradation. In comparison, other studies have shown that a bench-scale RDB could achieve a removal efficiency of 95% and elimination capacity of 331 g COD m-3 · hr-1. Sustainable performance of the pilot-scale RDB was challenged by the intermittent nature of painting operations, which typically resulted in 3-day long shutdown periods when bacteria were not fed. This challenge was overcome by adding sucrose (2 g/L weekly) as an auxiliary substrate to sustain metabolic activity during shutdown periods.

A transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride (AlON) specimen was used for the study. The statically precompressed specimen was then subjected to axial dynamic compressive loading using a modified compression Kolsky bar setup. Experimental design was performed using 3D computational modeling. Initial exploratory experiments were conducted on AlON at an average planar confinement of 400–410 MPa; the results suggested a higher compressive strength and a nonlinear stress evolution in AlON due to the confinement. A high-speed camera was used to observe the damage evolution in the specimen during the course of loading. The photographs and stress evolution are suggestive of an additional inelastic deformation mechanism, whose evolution is slower than the typical brittle-cracking type of damage apparent in the unconfined case. The TEM and high-resolution electron microscope analysis indicated dislocation plasticity in some fragments; dislocations in the slip bands were characterized to be dissociated 〈110〉 dislocations on {111} planes. The width between two partial dislocations was about 15 nm, suggesting low stacking fault energy of AlON. Microscopic characterization also shows that the eventual fragmentation of AlON is by cleavage mainly along low-index {111} planes.

Specifically, we hypothesized that psychological climate perceptions have direct and indirect effects on intent to leave through affective commitment and morale and that affective and continuance commitment interact to predict intent to leave the Army. The sample for this study was 649 captains who responded to an Army-wide survey, the Fall 2002 Sample Survey of Military Personnel. Results demonstrate support for full mediation, indicating that psychological climate impacts intent to leave the Army by influencing captains' affective commitment and morale. The psychological climate dimension of leadership had the largest impact on affective commitment, morale, and intent to leave the Army. Affective commitment did not interact with continuance commitment to predict intent to leave. Implications for Army retention policies and leadership are discussed.

One hundred and twenty-seven military students participated in three 20-minute discussions in one of three learning environments: standard classroom; standard on-line discussion; and discussion assisted by semantic technology. Consistent with expectations, semantic technology-supported learning resulted in greater discussion participation and training performance with discussion participation mediating the relationship between the learning environment and training satisfaction. An interaction between learning goal orientation (LGO) and learning environment on tacit knowledge performance showed that face-to-face conditions may help those with low LGO. Implications for improving tacit knowledge acquisition and technology-supported leadership development practices are discussed.

Westmoreland, or to praise his successor, General Creighton Abrams. This interpretation is simplistic and inaccurate. Although the report criticized aspects of the war under Westmoreland, its target was really the U.S. and Vietnamese governments. Moreover, PROVN's conclusions were less radical and its remedies less novel than observers have tended to admit. A fresh look at PROVN reveals significant continuities in thought between Westmoreland, the report, and Abrams.

Performance data were collected from six 10-ton GHP units installed at six military installations in the southwest United States. Note that the test sites in the southwest United States offer challenging operating conditions to air-cooled space cooling systems. Theoretical analysis showed significantly higher energy efficiency in space heating and cooling by GHP units compared to a conventional gas furnace for heating and electric direct expansion (DX) system for space cooling. In this paper, field measured cooling performance of the GHP units was compared to the theoretical efficiency during the 3 months of the 2007 cooling season. An independent laboratory reported testing GHP system performance in a laboratory environment (Zaltash et al. 2007). The test results are presented in the same symposium session featuring GHP technology, and will be published in the same ASHRAE Transactions volume. GHP performance under field conditions and laboratory conditions were compared. This paper also presents the GHP system's energy conservation and cost savings potential in space air conditioning.

Apart from this requirement, medical ethics education is an integral component of military medical practice. Although ethics education and training are required, tools to assess the effectiveness of ethics education are not well developed. Furthermore, although biomedical ethics education is mandated for new Army physician trainees, there has not been a systematic objective assessment of the effectiveness of that training. We report the concept underlying the design and implementation of a military biomedical ethics seminar for new Army physician trainees. Combining a didactic component and case analysis through small-group discussions, we emphasized providing tools to analyze ethical dilemmas both in the medical center environment and in the operational medicine environment. A total of 47 Army interns participated in the seminar. Eighty-nine percent of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the ethics orientation met expectations. Seventy-two percent agreed or strongly agreed that the information presented would affect their practice. Ninety-six percent thought that the small-group discussions were effective, and 80% thought that the presentations enhanced knowledge from medical school.

All animals exhibited signs of mild organophosphate poisoning (e.g., salivation, chewing, lacrimation, urination, defecation, and rhinorhea) after the 20-min exposure, regardless of the DDVP exposure concentration (e.g., 35 mg/m3, 55 mg/m3, and 75 mg/m3). Pupil constriction or miosis was the most pronounced effect seen after vapor exposure. The postexposure pupil size for the 35 mg/m3 group was 45.8 ± 3.68% of the preexposure baseline measurement. Postexposure pupil size in the 55- (38 ± 1.36%) and 75 mg/m3 (38.1 ± 1.72%) groups was significantly less than both the preexposure baseline level and the 35 mg/m3 group. All groups exhibited enhanced an pupillary response to light after DDVP exposure. The enhanced light response remained even after recovery from miosis (∼1 h after exposure). Measurement of cholinesterase activity revealed that even though pupil size had recovered, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterse remained significantly inhibited in the blood.

However, Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that wind speed alone cannot reliably describe surge. Herein it is shown that storm size plays an important role in surge generation, particularly for very intense storms making landfall in mildly sloping regions. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, analysis of the historical hurricane record evidenced no clear correlation between surge and storm size, and consequently little attention was given to the role of size in surge generation. In contrast, it is found herein that, for a given intensity, surge varies by as much as 30% over a reasonable range of storm sizes. These findings demonstrate that storm size must be considered when estimating surge, particularly when predicting socioeconomic and flood risk.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 579 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a compound used widely in bursting-type munitions, is a concern for the U.S. Department of Defense because it has been detected in soil and groundwater at military installations. Dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from acetone solutions and from two different soils was studied using excised human skin (from surgery) in flow-through diffusion cells. RDX in acetone (10 μL) or in soils (10 mg) was applied to the epidermal surface of the skin (0.64 cm2) and allowed to transverse the skin and become dissolved in a reservoir of receptor fluid that was maintained in contact with the dermal surface. The reservoir was of the flow-through type and receptor fluid was pumped at a rate of 1.5 mL/h. Receptor fluid was collected every 6 h for 24 h. Because the bioavailability of a chemical from soils depends on soil composition, dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from both a low-carbon (1.9%) and a high-carbon (9.5%) soil was assessed. At the conclusion of the experiment, the RDX remaining on the skin was washed with soap and water using cotton swabs, and the radioactivity present in washings was determined. The stratum corneum was removed from the deeper epidermis and radioactivity found in that layer was not considered in calculations of dermal absorption. The dermal absorption of RDX was relatively low. Only about 5.7 ± 1.9% of the RDX that had been applied in acetone was found in the skin (epidermis and dermis) (3.2 ± 1.9) and receptor fluid (2.5 ± 1.8) combined (over the full 24-h duration of the study). The levels of RDX found in the skin layers were stratum corneum 2.1%, epidermis 0.83%, and dermis 0.45%. The total recovery of applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 80%. The extent of RDX absorption from soil was even lower than from acetone. Approximately 2.6 ± 1.1% of the RDX applied in the low-carbon soil and 1.4 ± 0.41% applied in the high-carbon soil was found in receptor fluid and skin in 24 h. The total recovery of the applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 87% for the low-carbon soil and 94% for the high-carbon soil. Thus, the dermal absorption of RDX from soils was reduced considerably when compared with absorption from acetone and absorption was lower in the high-carbon soil than in the low-carbon soil.

This is compared to conventional systems such as whiskbroom systems, pushbroom systems, and filter wheel systems that requiring scanning in one or more coordinate direction. CTIS systems have been designed and tested in several different singular spectral bands as well as a dual band system. In addition to hyperspectral imaging spectrometers, CTIS systems have been used as an imaging spectropolarimeter and as a ranging imaging spectrometer. An imaging spectropolarimeter not only reconstructs the spectral content at every point in the scene of interest, but also provides the Stokes parameters at every point. So instead of just one data cube, we get four data cubes, one for each element of the Stokes vector. The ranging CTIS incorporates a LADAR system with the CTIS to provide the range information to targets in scene as well as the reconstructed data cube. The physical principles behind the CTIS system are presented as well as some of representative data from single band systems, the dual band proof of concept, the spectropolarimeter, and the ranging imaging spectrometer.

JO - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems JF - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 18 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 661 EP - 673 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 01291564 AB - Remote sensing of chemical warfare agents (CWA) with stand-off hyperspectral sensors has a wide range of civilian and military applications. These sensors exploit the spectral changes in the ambient photon flux produced thermal emission or absorption after passage through a region containing the CWA cloud. In this work we focus on (a) staring single-pixel sensors that sample their field of view at regular intervals of time to produce a time series of spectra and (b) scanning single or multiple pixel sensors that sample their FOV as they scan. The main objective of signal processing algorithms is to determine if and when a CWA enters the FOV of the sensor. We shall first develop and evaluate algorithms for staring sensors following two different approaches. First, we will assume that no threat information is available and we design an adaptive anomaly detection algorithm to detect a statistically-significant change in the observed spectrum. The algorithm processes the observed spectra sequentially-in-time, estimates adaptively the background, and checks whether the next spectrum differs significantly from the background based on the Mahalanobis distance or the distance from the background subspace. In the second approach, we will assume that we know the spectral signature of the CWA and develop sequential-in-time adaptive matched filter detectors. In both cases, we assume that the sensor starts its operation before the release of the CWA; otherwise, staring at a nearby CWA-free area is required for background estimation. Experimental evaluation and comparison of the proposed algorithms is accomplished using data from a long-wave infrared (LWIR) Fourier transform spectrometer.

The simulation consists of three principal models: an atmospheric turbulence model, a radiative transfer model and a target detection model. The turbulence model is used to generate microscale atmospheric variability. Resulting temperature and density profiles, along with custom aerosol profiles, are used to generate inputs for MODTRAN5, which produces simulated atmospheric spectral radiance. The simulated data is then analyzed by using an optimal detection algorithm and a hypothesis test, resulting in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

This study refines the model with data from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Inpatient health care records of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to OEF and OIF who were admitted with DNBI diagnoses were analyzed. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were compared with rates for Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were lower than those tor Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. Rates among the phases of OIF were distinctly different. DNBI admission rates have been reduced during recent deployments. The concepts of the original model based on Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm data were validated by experiences during OEF and OIF. Continuous surveillance of DNBI admission rates is recommended.

These life saving services must remain in continuous operation. An internal chemical attack on an emergency room would interrupt these essential services and severely impact the capabilities of the health care professionals and staff. In this paper, a combination of multizone simulation and statistical modeling are used as tools to assess emergency room designs for protection against an internal chemical threat. Design options include: the use of dilution ventilation, additional air handling equipment, gas phase filtration, building segmentation, and a sensor system to improve response time. Protection levels are placed into discrete categories and an ordered probability model (with random effects) is estimated. This model identifies factors, such as the design option, chemical type, elapsed time after chemical release, and the air handling unit’s operational and maintenance costs that significantly influence protection levels. Marginal effects are also computed to measure the impact of these factors on the protection-category probabilities. The results of this study can assist owners, designers, and decision makers by providing a quantitative methodology to assess building designs for protection against chemical threats.

Clinically, the nodule did not appear unusual for an ordinary cutaneous neoplasm on sun-exposed skin of an elderly white male. Histopathological examination showed sheet-like epithelioid tumor cell growth with a vaguely nested pattern and frank malignant features, resembling malignant melanoma. However, the tumor cells possessed irregularly convoluted nuclei with nuclear groves, frequent multinucleation and fine vesicular cytoplasm, features highly suggestive of histiocytes. Immunohistochemistry studies showed that the tumor cells were diffusely positive for S-100 protein and CD1a and negative for HMB-45, Melan-A, cytokeratin and CD30. The provisional diagnosis of Langerhans cell sarcoma was thus favored. To confirm this diagnosis, electron microscopic examination was performed. Although classic features of histiocytes were readily identifiable, no Birbeck granules could be found upon a thorough search on repeated sections. These results are indicative of the indeterminate cell nature of the tumor. We propose a diagnosis of primary cutaneous indeterminate cell sarcoma for this unusual histiocytic neoplasm. Current classification of histiocytic neoplasms and differential diagnosis are reviewed.

Design: Data were collected in the summer of 2003 using a prospective survey design. The survey was mailed to active duty Soldiers on modified work plans because of musculoskeletal injuries. These Soldiers were assigned to one Army installation in the US. Methods: Responses to the survey questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The numerous handwritten comments were evaluated qualitatively. Findings: Injuries most often involved the back and knees (18% each). At least 47% of the injuries were work related. Injuries interfered with Soldiers' abilities to perform military tasks such as road marching (80%) and organized physical training (69%). Although many respondents indicated they were not experiencing pain, at least some Soldiers reported mild pain for each of 19 anatomic locations. Severe pain was reported most often for the lower back (21%). In their written comments, Soldiers expressed a sense of frustration with their injuries, the healthcare system and providers, and their unit leaders. Conclusions: Healthcare personnel are challenged to better manage Soldiers with musculoskeletal injuries and expedite their return to full duty. Unit leaders are challenged to create work environments that focus on injury prevention and allow injured Soldiers time to heal. Clinical Relevance: The Soldiers in this study were often engaged in physically challenging work or sports activities when injured. Because people outside the Army engage in similar activities (e.g., construction workers, endurance athletes), the findings from this study might be applicable to nonmilitary communities. Additionally, with the number of Reserve and National Guard Soldiers currently on active duty, civilian nurses might be caring for Soldiers with musculoskeletal injuries.

This soil is contaminated with explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB, Aroclor 1260), as well as lead. Lime treatment (alkaline hydrolysis) and persulfate oxidation were tested individually and in combination to treat explosives and PCBs. Lime treatment removed 98% of TNT, 75% of DNT, and 80% of PCBs. Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment as well as lime followed by persulfate. The percentage of contaminant removal was found to be independent of initial contaminant concentrations. Treatments of the most contaminated soil did not meet the preliminary remediation goals for explosives or PCBs but would allow for disposal in a nonhazardous waste landfill. Treatment of soil with lower initial concentrations easily met the residential (most stringent) preliminary remediation goals of 16, 61, and 0.22 mg kg-1 for TNT, 2,6-DNT, and PCB (Aroclor 1260), respectively. Neither alkaline hydrolysis nor persulfate oxidation transferred more than 0.02% of the lead from the soil into the reaction waters. Lead was successfully stabilized via phosphate addition.

Embankment slopes range from 10 to 45% with median stone sizes ranging from 23.9 to 104.2 mm (from 0.94 to 4.1 in.). The database was analyzed, yielding a unique expression in which the median size of a round-shaped stone can be predicted as a function of the unit discharge, embankment slope, and coefficient of uniformity. It was determined that the requisite round-shaped stones range from 5 to 42% larger than angular stones to stabilize the riprap layer for similar flow conditions with unit flows of 0.2 cm/s and slopes of 40%. The maximum deviation between rounded and angular-shaped stone may approach 70% as flow and bed conditions are extrapolated.

This study was conducted to determine the relative oral bioavailability of RDX in contaminated soil and to develop a method to derive bioavailability adjustments for risk assessments using rodents. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats preimplanted with femoral artery catheters were dosed orally with gelatin capsules containing either pure RDX or an equivalent amount of RDX in contaminated soils from Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) (2300 μ g/g of soil) or Fort Meade (FM) (670 μ g/g of soil). After dosing rats, blood samples were collected from catheters at 2-h intervals (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) and at 24 and 48 h. RDX levels in the blood were determined by gas chromatography. The results show that the peak absorption of RDX in blood was 6 h for neat RDX (1.24 mg/kg) and for RDX from contaminated soil (1.24 mg/kg) of LAAP. Rats dosed with RDX-contaminated FM soil (0.2 mg/kg) showed peak levels of RDX in blood at 6 h, whereas their counterparts that received an identical dose (0.2 mg/kg) of neat RDX showed peak absorption at 4 h. The blood levels of absorbed RDX from LAAP soil were about 25% less than for neat RDX, whereas the bioavailability of RDX from FM soils was about 15% less than that seen in rats treated with neat RDX (0.2 mg/kg). The oral bioavailability in rats fed RDX in LAAP soil and the FM soil was reduced with the neat compound but decrease in bioavailability varied with the soil type.

Data were from the nationally representative 2001 National Survey of Veterans (N = 7,907; 3.923 veterans served in Vietnam). Age-stratified (<60 years versus >60 years) analyses included multivariate logistic regression. In adjusted analyses, among those <60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had notably poorer self-rated health and higher stroke risk (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval. 1.48-1.53); odds of most other conditions were lower. Among those ≥6(1 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had poorer self-rated health, higher cancer risk (odds ratio. 1.33; 95% confidence interval. 1.32-1.35h and more treatment for hypertension, lung conditions, stroke, and hearing loss. Results suggest greater resource use among older veterans who served in Vietnam. Clinicians and the Department of Veterans Affairs should especially note their substantially higher cancer risk.

The number in T60, T90, and T120 denotes the angle made by the pin surface with the end wall. Results show that the T120 pin is the most effective in facilitating momentum transport along the height of the pin and mitigates the undesired effect of low momentum and recirculating wakes. Additionally, pin T120 causes localized flow acceleration between pins near the end wall, which results in high heat transfer coefficients at the end wall. Overall, T120 has the highest heat transfer (augmentation ratio 2.9 at ReD = 325), without any increase in friction factor (augmentation ratio 8.3 at ReD = 325) from the baseline configuration of T90. However, T120 results in a large reduction in end-wall surface area, which reduces overall conductance, and in this respect T60 is superior in the range ReD < 150. A performance study of conductance under the constraint of the same pumping power in an equivalent plane channel shows that the profiled geometries T60 and T120 augment conductance between 40% and 250% over an equivalent channel.

The simplest summary of findings from the new field of positive psychology is that other people matter. It is within groups that we live, work, love, and play, and groups should therefore be a primary focus of researchers interested in health and well-being. In the present article, we propose morale as an important indicator of group well-being. We survey what is known about overall morale across a variety of groups: its meaning, measurement, enabling factors, and putative consequences. We sketch a future research agenda that would examine morale in multidimensional terms at both the individual and group levels and would pay particular attention to the positive outcomes associated with morale. Qu’est-ce qui fait que la vie vaut le plus la peine d’être vécue? Réduire à leur plus simple expression les résultats de ce nouveau domaine qu’est la psychologie positive revient à mentionner l’importance d’autrui. C’est dans des groupes que nous vivons, travaillons, aimons et jouons, et les groupes devraient donc être une préoccupation première pour les chercheurs concernés par la santé et le bien-être. Dans cet article, on avance l’idée que le moral est un indicateur majeur du bien-être des groupes. On recense ce qui est connu sur le moral en général dans divers types de groupes: sa signification, sa mesure, ses antécédents et ses conséquences supposées. On esquisse un futur programme de recherche qui appréhenderait le moral de façon multidimensionnelle aux niveaux à la fois individuel et groupal et accorderait une attention particulière aux retombées positives relevant du moral.

Age- and weight-matched male guinea pigs were exposed to five different doses of sarin (169.3, 338.7, 508, 677.4, and 846.5 mg/m3) using a microinstillation inhalation exposure technique for 4 min. The technique involves aerosolization of the agent in the trachea using a microcatheter with a center hole that delivers the agent and multiple peripheral holes that pumps air to aerosolize the agent at the tip. Animals exposed to higher doses of sarin occasionally developed seizures and succumbed to death within 15 min after exposure. The LCt50 for sarin using the microinstillation technique was determined to be close to 677.4 mg/m3. Ear blood AChE activity showed a dose-dependent inhibition at 15 min postexposure. The inhibition of blood AChE remained constant over 35 and 55 min after sarin exposure indicating that there was no lung depot effect. Cardiac blood AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity in surviving animals euthanized at 24 h postexposure showed a dose-dependent inhibition with an inhibition of 60% at 677.4 and 846.5 mg/m3 sarin exposure. AChE and BChE activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) showed a slight increase at 338.7 to 677.4 mg/m3 sarin exposure but a marginal inhibition at 169.3 mg/m3. In contrast, the AChE protein levels determined by immunoblotting showed an increase at 169.3 mg/m3 in the BALF. The BALF protein level, a biomarker of lung injury, was increased maximally at 338.7 mg/m3 and that increase was dropped with an increase in the dose of sarin. The BALF protein levels correlated with the AChE and BChE activity. These data suggest that sarin microinstillation inhalation exposure results in respiratory toxicity and lung injury characterized by changes in lavage AChE, BChE, and protein levels.

Robotic operators performed parallel route reconnaissance missions with each platform alone and with all three platforms. When given all three platforms, participants failed to detect more targets than when given only the UAV or UGV; they were also less likely to complete their mission in the allotted time. Target detection during missions was the poorest with the Teleop alone, likely because of the demands of remote driving. Spatial ability was found to be a good predictor of target-detection performance. However, slowing sensor feed video frame rate or the imposition of a short response latency (250 ms) between Teleop control and Teleop reaction failed to affect target-detection performance significantly. Nevertheless, these video image manipulations did influence assessment of system usability.

This study investigates the types of stressors, appraisals, and coping responses of U.S. soldiers and their leaders. A qualitative analysis of interviews indicates that the traditional coping buffers of social drinking and seeking social support from fellow soldiers, family, and leaders can potentially serve as sources of stress. While this paradox may be a result of the unique types of stressors in the military work environment, these results should direct researchers to better understand individuals' perceptions and appraisals of stress, with a focus on the meaning of stress, given contextual factors inherent in the workplace. The findings are discussed in relation to the literature on the impact of stress on physical and psychological health.

Many researchers have worked on the development of methods that yield reliable predictions of both sediment transport and morphological change with a minimum of computational burden, so that the long prototype time scales necessary to appropriately investigate these processes can be simulated within a reasonable amount of time. This includes the development of tools for approximating the complex behavior of the sediment concentration in the water column. In this technical note, the classic equilibrium sediment profile first introduced by Rouse is revisited. Following the development of the Rouse profile introduced by Einstein, a generalized nonequilibrium sediment concentration profile is generated. The principal assumption is that the convective term of the nonequilibrium vertical sediment flux can be approximated with the relationship that arises from purely convective transport. The method is compared to numerical solutions for depositional profiles, and appears to yield promising results.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 173 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 677 EP - 683 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - The United States faces many existing and emerging mosquito-borne disease threats, such as West Nile virus and Rift Valley fever. An important component of strategic prevention and control plans for these and other mosquito-borne diseases is forecasting the distribution, timing, and abundance of mosquito vector populations. Populations of many medically important mosquito species are closely tied to climate, and historical climate-population associations may be used to predict future population dynamics, Using 2003-2005 U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine mosquito surveillance data, we looked at populations of several known mosquito vectors of West Nile virus, as well as possible mosquito vectors of Rift Valley lever virus, at continental U.S. military installations. We compared population changes with concurrent patterns for a satellite-derived index of climate (normalized difference vegetation index) and observed instances of population changes appearing to be direct responses to climate. These preliminary findings are important first steps in developing an automated, climate-driven, early warning system to flag regions of the United States at elevated risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission.

The current version of the PATGEN model is based on historical major combat operations such as World War II and the Korean War. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference between injury distributions used in the PATGEN model and the injury distributions based on the data from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). To make the comparison feasible, the PATGEN injury categories were created using the Barell Injury Matrix. Analyses were performed using two independent OIF data sources, the Joint Theater Trauma Registry and the Standard Inpatient Data Record. Based on X² test results, both analyses suggest a significant difference between PATGEN and OIF injury distributions. A major concern is the underestimation by PATGEN of battle injuries with multiple wounds. The findings support future use of data-driven diagnosis-based injury distributions for current operations and new more flexible simulation models that will allow for changes in injury probability distributions.

The objective of this study was to expand upon the previous MHS model to determine predictors of patient satisfaction behaviors based upon associated attitudes and beliefs in addition to determining the predictive qualities presented by continuity of care. A sample of 90.318 patient responses from 2002 to 2004 was drawn front the Customer Satisfaction Survey database. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the uniquely predictive effects of the independent variables on the outcome variable. Results indicated the constructs from previous studies of satisfaction within the MHS using an attitude model were consistent when tested in a behavioral model. Hypothesis tests also indicated continuity of care demonstrated uniquely predictive qualities suggesting inclusion in the model. The final satisfaction with visit model yielded F(29,90.288) = 7062.37, p < 0.01 with R² = 0.694.

Despite the little importance of high-altitude moisture to operational forecasting, it is significant in radiation transfer calculations that affect climate model physics which was discovered to be missing from routine rawinsonde data assimilation for 2006. The rawinsonde coded reports of the World Meteorological Organization from international sites which were using Vaisala rawinsonde systems were affected by this missing parameter. Technological advancements in radiosonde hygristor design have made accurate moisture measurements but the upgrade was not able to meet its target.

Methods and Results: We prepared and studied spores from several Bacillus species, including four virulent and three attenuated strains of B. anthracis, two Bacillus species commonly used to simulate B. anthracis ( Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus subtilis) and four close neighbours ( Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus stearothermophilus), using identical media, protocols and instruments. We determined the wet densities of all spores by measuring their buoyant density in gradients of Percoll and their dry density in gradients of two organic solvents, one of high and the other of low chemical density. The wet density of different strains of B. anthracis fell into two different groups. One group comprised strains of B. anthracis producing spores with densities between 1·162 and 1·165 g ml−1 and the other group included strains whose spores showed higher density values between 1·174 and 1·186 g ml−1. Both Bacillus atrophaeus and B. subtilis were denser than all the B. anthracis spores studied. Interestingly and in spite of the significant differences in wet density, the dry densities of all spore species and strains were similar. In addition, we correlated the spore density with spore volume derived from measurements made by electron microscopy analysis. There was a strong correlation ( R2 = 0·95) between density and volume for the spores of all strains and species studied. Conclusions: The data presented here indicate that the two commonly used simulants of B. anthracis, B. atrophaeus and B. subtilis were considerably denser and smaller than all B. anthracis spores studied and hence, these simulants could behave aerodynamically different than B. anthracis. Bacillus thuringiensis had spore density and volume within the range observed for the various strains of B. anthracis. The clear correlation between wet density and volume of the B. anthracis spores suggest that mass differences among spore strains may be because of different amounts of water contained within wet dormant spores. Significance and Impact of the Study: Spores of nonvirulent Bacillus species are often used as simulants in the development and testing of countermeasures for biodefense against B. anthracis. The similarities and difference in density and volume that we found should assist in the selection of simulants that better resemble properties of B. anthracis and, thus more accurately represent the performance of countermeasures against this threat agent where spore density, size, volume, mass or related properties are relevant.

In this respect, understanding the underlying network structure is vital to assess the significance of any discovered features. We recently demonstrated that PPI networks show degree-weighted behavior, whereby the probability of interaction between two proteins is generally proportional to the product of their numbers of interacting partners or degrees. It was surmised that degree-weighted behavior is a characteristic of randomness. We expand upon these findings by developing a random, degree-weighted, network model and show that eight PPI networks determined from single high-throughput (HT) experiments have global and local properties that are consistent with this model. The apparent random connectivity in HT PPI networks is counter-intuitive with respect to their observed degree distributions; however, we resolve this discrepancy by introducing a non-network-based model for the evolution of protein degrees or ''binding affinities.'' This mechanism is based on duplication and random mutation, for which the degree distribution converges to a steady state that is identical to one obtained by averaging over the eight HT PPI networks. The results imply that the degrees and connectivities incorporated in HT PPI networks are characteristic of unbiased interactions between proteins that have varying individual binding affinities. These findings corroborate the observation that curated and high-confidence PPI networks are distinct from HT PPI networks and not consistent with a random connectivity. These results provide an avenue to discern indiscriminate organizations in biological networks and suggest caution in the analysis of curated and high-confidence networks.

Transient flow of water through the confined aquifer was described by a diffusion type of equation with a boundary condition at the river in which the river head varied with time. The transient head distribution developed from the unsteady flow model applied to the aquifer was compared with the hydraulic head distributions obtained from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers steady-state flow model and a finite-element seepage model. This study concluded that the transient flow model has the potential to analyze time lag in head development, and to predict the seepage condition and heaving potential at various times and distances landside of a levee during a flood cycle, but additional case histories are needed to justify widespread use of the model.

Nine male track-and-field athletes (21.1 ± 1.4 yr, 177.2 ± 5.5 cm, 80.9 ± 9.7 kg, 8.7% ± 3.8% fat) and 10 male ice hockey athletes (21.0 ± 2.2 yr, 174.3 ± 6.2 cm, 79.6 ± 11.1 kg, 13.9% ± 3.73% fat) participated in 2 different ARE protocols. Both experiments employed a counterbalanced double-blind research design, wherein participants consumed either a CHO (1 g/kg body weight) or placebo beverage before, during, and after a weight-lifting session. Serum cortisol decreased (p < .05) at 90 min into recovery compared with immediately postexercise. Plasma lactate, total leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte concentrations increased (p < .05) from baseline to immediately postexercise. Lymphocytes decreased significantly (p < .05) from baseline to 90 min postexercise. Lymphocytes were lower (p < .05) for the CHO condition than for placebo. The findings of this study indicate the following: ARE appears to evoke changes in immune cells similar to those previously reported during endurance exercise, and CHO ingestion attenuates lymphocytosis after ARE.

Hemiptera and Orthoptera were sampled using sweep nets in early June, mid-July, and mid-August 2000. Plant species composition was assessed in early June and mid-August. A total of 89 Auchenorrhyncha (71 Cicadellidae, 15 Fulgoroidea, and 3 Membracidae) and 23 orthopterans (15 Acrididae and 8 Tettigoniidae) were collected. Eighty-five plant species were observed in combined study sites. Shannon diversity was significantly higher at restored prairie for Cicadellidae ( H′= 1.38), Fulgoroidea ( H′= 0.796), and Membracidae ( H′= 0.290), which comprised the majority of individual insects collected, but significantly higher at native prairie for Acrididae ( H′= 0.560) and Tettigoniidae ( H′= 0.480) ( p≤ 0.05). Species richness was comparable except for Acrididae which were significantly higher in restored prairie. Density of insects generally followed species diversity but was only significantly higher in restored areas for Membracidae. The number of remnant-dependent species collected was comparable for both native prairie ( n= 15) and restored prairie ( n= 15). These results suggest that, at least for Hemiptera, differences in insect communities between native and restored prairie may best be explained by the presence of insect host plants rather than by whether a site is native or restored.

This eyesafe short wave infrared (SWIR) waveband is advantageous due to both the improved eye safety and atmospheric propagation through obscurants. NVESD has several active programs in this area, which will be reviewed in this paper. These are: 1) single-pixel scanned imaging laser radar, 2) 2D gated SWIR imaging, and 3) 3D-flash laser radar. These systems are being evaluated for various targeting scenarios, including as potential payloads on unmanned air-vehicles, ground vehicles and other sensor suites. Applications include low-cost long-range target identification, identification of heavily obscured targets, obstacle avoidance, and high resolution imaging.

The present study included interviews with 202 soldiers returning from a year in Iraq. Although reporting an A2 response was associated with higher PTSD Checklist scores, there were no significant differences in the percentage of subjects who met cutoff criteria for PTSD. The most common alternative A2 responses were related to military training and anger. The A2 criterion for PTSD should be expanded so as not to underestimate the number of individuals trained for high-risk occupations who might benefit from treatment.

Fourteen simulation tests using geotextile and geogrid fabrics were conducted to provide an initial evaluation of the performance of this protective system. The ultimate capacity, load-deflection, including the proposed connections of these retrofit systems were determined and recorded in these tests. The tests were conducted by increasing a uniform load (water pressure) in a 1.83 m diameter chamber. The tensile strength of the materials used in the experiments varied from 65 to 328 N/m. It was concluded from the experiments that the proposed system is a viable and a functional means for preventing propagation of wall debris. The primary parameters affecting its functionality were the tensile strength of the fabric and its anchorage into the conventional structure.

Detection occurs when the antigens to be detected displace quencher-labelled inactivated (or dead) antigens of the same type attached to QD–antibody complexes through equilibrium reactions. This unquenches the QDs, allowing detection to take place through the observation of photoluminescence in solution or through the fluorescence imaging of unquenched QD complexes trapped on filter surfaces. Multiplexing can be accomplished by using several different sizes of QDs, with each size QD labelled with an antibody for a different antigen, providing the ability to detect several types of antigens or biological contaminants simultaneously in near real-time with high specificity and sensitivity.

SN - 00222461 AB - Boron carbide–titanium diboride composites were synthesized and consolidated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) of mechanically milled elemental powder mixtures. The phase and microstructure evolution of the composites during sintering in the 1,200–1,700 °C temperature range was studied. With increasing sintering temperature, the phase formation of the samples was completed well before full density was achieved. The distribution of titanium diboride in the sintered samples was significantly improved with increasing milling time of the Ti–B–C powder mixtures. A bulk composite material of nearly full density, fine uniform microstructure, and increased fracture toughness was obtained by SPS at 1,700 °C. The grain size of boron carbide and titanium diboride in this material was 5–7 and 1–2 μm, respectively.

During hurricane Katrina the levees on the 17th Street Canal failed, leading to breaches in the outfall canal in the city. Two mechanisms were observed in the centrifuge modeling that could cause a breach. First, a water-filled crack formed in front of the floodwall as the water in the canal rose above the top of the levee. The levees on the 17th Street Canal, which were supported on clay foundations, failed when this cracking led to a translational (sliding) failure in the clay layer commencing at the toe of the floodwall. The levees at Orleans Canal North, where failure did not occur, were also modeled to demonstrate that the model tests could successfully simulate failure and nonfailure conditions. The centrifuge model tests identified the importance of the crack formation in relation to the stability of the floodwall. These tests also confirmed that levee geometry, floodwall depth of penetration, and the underlying soil profile were all critical to the performance of the system under flood loading.

Geologic and engineering data gathered from the levee breaches identify a spatially complex geomorphic landscape, caused by Holocene sea level rise, lateral changes in depositional environments, development of Mississippi River delta lobes, and the distributary channels associated with delta development. Overlying the Pleistocene surface beneath New Orleans are predominantly fine-grained, shallow water sediments associated with bay sound (or estuarine), nearshore-gulf, sandy beach, lacustrine, interdistributary, and paludal (marsh and swamp) environments. These environments define the New Orleans area history during the Holocene and comprise the levee foundation beneath the failure areas. A barrier beach ridge is present in the subsurface along the southern shore of Lake Ponchartrain, which blocked the filling of the lake with fluvial-deltaic sediments. This buried beach impacted the supply and texture of sediment being deposited by advancing distributary channels and influenced the engineering properties of these soils. Marsh and swamp soils beneath the failure area at the 17th Street Canal are much thicker in comparison to those beneath the London Avenue Canal failures because of the influence of the beach complex, and are thickest in the Industrial Canal area. Additionally, human activities in the New Orleans area during historic time contributed to the spatial complexity and affected the engineering properties of the foundation soils. These activities include construction of drainage and navigation canals, groundwater pumping, hydraulic filling of the Lake Ponchartrain lake front, and construction of levees to prevent river flooding. Human activities, combined with the geologic setting and subsidence in this region, are responsible for the unique landscape that was impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

The effects of the hurricane were particularly devastating in the city of New Orleans. Most of the damage was due to the failure of the levee system that surrounds the city to protect it from flooding. This paper presents the results of centrifuge models conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers simulating the behavior of the levees at London Avenue North and South that failed during Hurricane Katrina. Those levees failed without being overtopped by the storm surge. Also included are the results of a centrifuge model of one levee section at Orleans Canal South, which did not fail during the hurricane. The key factor of the failure mechanism of the London Avenue levees was the formation of a gap between the flooded side of the levee and the sheetpile. This gap triggered a reduction of the strength at the foundation of the protected side of the levee. The results are fully consistent with field observations.

These trashracks are expected to reduce velocity near the powerhouse that is responsible for entraining juveniles into the turbine intake flow. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was used to investigate the forebay hydraulics for the existing and proposed configurations of the intakes. Velocity data from a 1:40 scale physical model and a field program were utilized for model validation. In general, agreements between computed velocities and data were within the variability of field measurements. The model results confirmed the development of low velocity zones adjacent to the powerhouse. Further, the flow field created by the proposed trashracks could aid juveniles in swimming to the downstream end of the powerhouse where the fish bypass system is located.

As part of the Neurocognition Deployment Health Study procedures, each soldier completed at both time points self-report indexes of PTSD symptom severity, health behaviors (smoking, alcohol use), and somatic health-related functioning. Participants also completed a health-symptom checklist at the postdeployment assessment. Structural equation modeling revealed that postdeployment PTSD severity was associated with change in somatic health-related functioning, with postdeployment health symptoms as an intermediary variable. These relationships were independent of health risk behaviors, which had little association with somatic symptoms or PTSD. Our findings highlight the functional impact of PTSD, which extends beyond psychological symptoms to health-related daily functioning.

In 1932, they were authorized to exchange their Citation Stars for the new Silver Star Medal. Nursing in the war was difficult and required caring for patients exposed to chemical weapons and trauma while in harsh field conditions. These women were among the many Army nurses decorated for their performance in World War I.

Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command & Control Evacuation System database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2003 to 2004. The study found 327 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 11/10,000 soldiers per year) and 47 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21/10,000 soldiers per year), for a total of 374 MEDEVACS. Forty-two percent (n = 158) of all oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Another 36% (n = 136) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, caused by acts of war. Twenty-one percent (n = 80) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, mainly caused by motor vehicle accidents and fighting.

The service members' perceptions were addressed in the dimensions of ethics, effectiveness, and safety, as well as the overall perceptions of the AVIP. The study, conducted in October 2004, randomly selected active duty service members from the uniformed services assigned to a Caribbean military base who participated in the AVIP during the period of 1998 to 2000. Their perceptions were measured with a survey instrument with 14 closed-ended, Likert-scale questions. The research demonstrated that a substantial number of service members disagreed with issues regarding the ethics, safety, and efficacy of the AVIP, We recommend enhanced training and education to increase understanding of the benefits of the AVIP.

Such interviews are critical for recommending individuals for follow-up assessment and care. To standardize the interview process, U.S. Army Medical Research Unit-Europe developed a structured interview guide, designed in response to both clinical requirements and research findings. The guide includes sections on depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship problems, alcohol problems, and sleep problems, in addition, there is all open-ended section on other problems and a section for case dispositions. Data from a 2005 blinded validation study with soldiers returning from a 1-year-long combat deployment are included to demonstrate the utility of the structured interview. Guidelines and implementation considerations for the use of the structured interview are discussed.

A technique is evaluated for correcting for the effects of turbulence on ballistic testing procedures by using a line of sonic anemometer measurements taken along the trajectory path. The metric used to evaluate the correction is the difference between the target impact scatter produced with and without the use of the anemometers in the trajectory calculations. The improvement in the testing procedure as measured by this metric is determined as a function of the number of sonic anemometers in the line and the sonic averaging time interval. The performance of the simulations is also compared with data from a field test for a standard small-caliber munition, and the predicted and observed target scatter are in good qualitative agreement, supporting the feasibility of the approach.

We assessed the genetic diversity of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler ( Dendroica chrysoparia) across their breeding range in central Texas and evaluated the role of habitat loss and fragmentation in shaping the population structure of the species. We determined genotypes across nine microsatellite loci of 109 individuals from seven sites representing the major breeding concentrations of the species. No evidence of a recent population bottleneck was found. Differences in allele frequencies were highly significant among sites. The sampled sites do not appear to represent isolated lineages requiring protection as separate management units, although the amount of current gene flow is insufficient to prevent genetic differentiation. Measures of genetic differentiation were negatively associated with habitat connectivity and the percentage of forest cover between sites, and positively associated with geographic distance and the percentage of agricultural land between sites. The northernmost site was the most genetically differentiated and was isolated from other sites by agricultural lands. Fragmentation of breeding habitat may represent barriers to dispersal of birds which would pose no barrier to movement during other activities such as migration.

Methods and Results: Plate and microscope counts were compared to measuring the genomic equivalents based on DNA content BA spore suspensions. We developed chemical methods to extract spore DNA and extra-spore (ES) DNA. DNA mass was determined by gel electrophoresis and QPCR assays were developed using the markers on the chromosome (rpoB) and the pXO1 plasmid (pag). The plate counts and microscope counts were very stable (for up to 900 days). The effect of freezing and the presence of additives in samples were tested for up to 300 days, and the results indicated that the additives tested and freezing did not decrease the viability or microscope counts. Conclusions: Bacillus anthracis spore suspensions can be stored for long periods of time without significant loss of viability or clumping. The content of ES DNA was variable and changed with time. Significant and Impact of the Study: The study shows that BA spore suspensions can be developed for reference materials providing a uniform basis for comparing detection equipment and results from different laboratories.

Novel therapies for HD-induced lung injury are best investigated in an in vivo model that allows monitoring of a range of physiological variables. HD vapor was generated using two customized thermostatically controlled glass flasks in parallel. The vapor was passed into a carrier flow of air (81 L· min-1) and down a length of glass exposure tube (1.75 m). A pig was connected to the midpoint of the exposure tube via a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined endotracheal tube, Fleisch pneumotachograph, and sample port. HD vapor concentrations (40-122.8 mg. m-3) up-and downstream of the point of exposure were obtained by sampling onto Porapak absorption tubes with subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-flame photometric detection. Real-time estimates of vapor concentration were determined using a photo-ionization detector. Lung function indices (respiratory volumes, lung compliance, and airway resistance) were measured online throughout. Trial runs with methylsalicylate (MS) and animal exposures with HD demonstrated that the exposure system rapidly reached the desired concentration within 1 min and maintained stable output throughout exposure, and that the MS/HD concentration decayed rapidly to zero when switched off. A system is described that allows reproducible exposure of HD vapor to the lung of anesthetized white pigs. The system has proved to be robust and reliable and will be a valuable tool in assessing potential future therapies against HD-induced lung injury in the pig. Crown Copyright (c) 2007 Dstl.

Participants were asked to monitor the map for icon appearance or disappearance. A change accompanied by two other changes was detected 69.3% of the time, while the same change occurring alone was detected 79.6% of the time. When three changes occurred simultaneously, all three were detected only 37% of the time. Detection of icon appearance was superior to detection of icon disappearance, as might be expected from the literature on visual attention. The discussion addresses the need to represent change explicitly in such systems and suggests properties that a change detection aid should possess.

The word "Dresden" is typically one of the first uttered whenever the topic of strategic bombing is raised. And yet, like many other high-profile historical events, the Dresden raid is encrusted with myth and misunderstanding. This essay is an effort to make sense of a complicated and much misunderstood episode in the history of modern warfare-and to make sense of it in the context in which it occurred. The essay draws upon the rich recent literature on Dresden, earlier histories, and a wide array of primary sources in an effort to provide - for teachers, scholars, and general readers - a comprehensive but still concise overview of the air raid that has won such a central place in the history of the Second World War.

Methods: Injury data were collected each week at two clinics serving two geographically separated military training units. Weekly injury rates were calculated as the number of injured soldiers in each battalion (numerator) divided by the total number of soldiers in each battalion (denominator). A two-way analysis of variance examined weekly injury rates according to training unit and season of the year. Correlations between injury rates and average maximal temperatures were also examined. Results: Analysis of variance indicated significant differences in injury rates according to training unit (p = 0.04) and season (p < 0.01 ) but no significant interaction between unit and season (p = 0.16). Injury rates in the summer were higher than injury rates in the winter or autumn. Coefficients for correlations between weekly injury rates and weekly average maximal temperatures were 0.71 and 0.88 for the two training units. Conclusions: These data support previous work in U.S. Army basic combat training indicating a seasonal effect on injury rates. Higher environmental temperatures were associated with higher injury rates.

Methamphetamine is among the most addictive and damaging of commonly abused drugs; this is of great concern for military health providers in Hawaii due to the unusually high prevalence in the local community. The effect of regional drug use on active duty subpopulations has not been previously studied. This study includes a 6-year retrospective sample of laboratory-confirmed methamphetamine-, cocaine-, and marijuana-positive drug tests among Army soldiers stationed in Hawaii and western and eastern continental U.S. installations. The findings suggest that active duty members are significantly affected by the local drug climate. However, current military drug policies also deter use as evidenced by low absolute drug-positive rates even in regions of high civilian prevalence.

As a contribution toward this objective, this paper begins a series that reports on the characteristics and performance of an operational mesogamma-scale weather analysis and forecasting system that has been developed for use by the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command. During the more than five years that this four-dimensional weather system has been in use at seven U.S. Army test ranges, valuable experience has been gained about the production and effective use of high-resolution model products for satisfying a variety of needs. This paper serves as a foundation for the rest of the papers in the series by describing the operational requirements for the system, the data assimilation and forecasting system characteristics, and the forecaster training that is required for the finescale products to be used effectively.

Winds, temperature, and specific humidity were verified for almost 15 000 forecasts at five U.S. Army test ranges using near-surface mesonet data. The primary objective was to use conventional metrics to characterize the degree to which forecast accuracy varies from range to range, within the diurnal cycle, with elapsed forecast time, and among the seasons. It was found that there are large interrange differences in forecast error, with larger errors typically associated with the ranges located near complex orography. Similarly, significant variations in accuracy were noted for different times in the diurnal cycle, but the diurnal dependency varied greatly among the ranges. Factor of 2 differences in accuracy were also found across the seasons.

Examples of three specific applications—a sound propagation model, a missile trajectory model, and a transport and diffusion model—are given, along with accuracy assessments using cases in which observational data are available for verification. Ensembles of application model forecasts are used to derive probabilities of exceedance of quantities that can be used to help range test directors to make test go–no-go decisions. The ensembles can be based on multiple meteorological forecast runs or on spatial ensembles derived from different soundings extracted from a single meteorological forecast. In most cases, the accuracies of the secondary-application forecasts are sufficient to meet operational needs at the test ranges.

The safety of personnel working on the range and the protection of expensive test equipment depend critically on the quality of forecasts of thunderstorms and associated hazards, including cloud-to-ground lightning, hail, strong winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and tornadoes. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Auto-Nowcast (ANC) system is one of the key forecast tools in the ATEC Four-Dimensional Weather System (4DWX) at WSMR, where its purpose is to aid WSMR meteorologists in their mission of very short term thunderstorm forecasting. Besides monitoring the weather activity throughout the region and warning personnel of potentially hazardous thunderstorms, forecasters play a key role in assisting with the day-to-day planning of test operations on the range by providing guidance with regard to weather conditions favorable to testing. Moreover, based on climatological information about the local weather conditions, forecasters advise their range customers about scheduling tests at WSMR months in advance. This paper reviews the NCAR ANC system, provides examples of the ANC system’s use in thunderstorm forecasting, and describes climatological analyses of WSMR summertime thunderstorm activity relevant for long-range planning of tests. The climatological analysis illustrates that radar-detected convective cells with reflectivity of ≥35 dBZ at WSMR are 1) short lived, with 76% having lifetimes of less than 30 min; 2) small, with 67% occupying areas of less than 25 km2; 3) slow moving, with 79% exhibiting speeds of less than 4 m s-1; 4) moderately intense, with 80% showing reflectivities in excess of 40 dBZ; and 5) deep, with 80% of the storms reaching far enough above the freezing level to be capable of generating lightning.

JO - Freshwater Biology JF - Freshwater Biology Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 53 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 814 EP - 826 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00465070 AB - 1. Restoration of shallow turbid lakes to promote growth of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) requires knowledge of the environmental factors affecting SAV growth and persistence, and a means to predict the success of SAV reestablishment under different management scenarios to improve these environmental conditions. We used a dynamic ecological modelling approach relating SAV responses to changes in physical and chemical conditions, with information on water level, flow and transparency being provided by hydrodynamic and sediment transport models. 2. The potential persistence of Vallisneria americana was similar under simulated environmental conditions in 1946 and in 1954, as was the potential persistence of Potamogeton pectinatus, indicating that the disappearance of V. americana from Peoria Lake (U.S.A.) previously attributed to an extended spring flood in 1954, may have been related to the combined effects of changes in water level, flow and water transparency as well as possibly other factors. 3. Recent environmental conditions (for 2000) proved not to be conducive for the colonization and persistence potential of V. americana, but would allow colonization by P. pectinatus. The construction of a hypothetical levee along the eastern descending line of the navigation channel in Upper Peoria Lake, which was expected to reduce fetch- and navigation-related turbidity, did not improve the situation for V. americana and overall deteriorated the situation for P. pectinatus. Thus, such a hydraulic alteration, generally considered as beneficial for SAV restoration, may not always be successful. 4. The results of the simulations indicated that the environmental conditions for potential persistence in Peoria Lake were generally less favourable for V. americana than for P. pectinatus. Measures suggested to restore SAV communities in such a lake should aim at reducing concentrations of total suspended solids at the point of inflow by a factor of three to four and limiting fetch- and navigation-related resuspension.

A second material, the binder, which is usually an amorphous substance, is added as a minor constituent, one of whose purposes is to coat the filler in order to prevent frictional heat generation during the application of strain. It is important to know the condition of these materials in the composite as formulated and their response to deformation. Small angle neutron and X-ray scattering is used to determine the specific surface area of the interface between (a) filler and binder and (b) the pores. Two radiations are used in order to obtain sufficient contrast variation for the solution (although not unique) of a three-parameter problem. The results strongly suggest that the binder quite effectively performs the intended role. The results also indicate that in heavily mechanically damaged samples the filler particles are fractured and that most of the new fracture surfaces are coated with binder.

T1 - Characterization of Clinically-Attenuated Burkholderia mallei by Whole Genome Sequencing: Candidate Strain for Exclusion from Select Agent Lists. JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 3 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: Burkholderia mallei is an understudied biothreat agent responsible for glanders which can be lethal in humans and animals. Research with this pathogen has been hampered in part by constraints of Select Agent regulations for safety reasons. Whole genomic sequencing (WGS) is an apt approach to characterize newly discovered or poorly understood microbial pathogens. Methodology/Principal Findings: We performed WGS on a strain of B. mallei, SAVP1, previously pathogenic, that was experimentally infected in 6 equids (4 ponies, 1 mule, 1 donkey), natural hosts, for purposes of producing antibodies. Multiple high inocula were used in some cases. Unexpectedly SAVP1 appeared to be avirulent in the ponies and mule, and attenuated in the donkey, but induced antibodies. We determined the genome sequence of SAVP1 and compared it to a strain that was virulent in horses and a human. In comparison, this phenotypic avirulent SAVP1 strain was missing multiple genes including all the animal type III secretory system (T3SS) complex of genes demonstrated to be essential for virulence in mice and hamster models. The loss of these genes in the SAVP1 strain appears to be the consequence of a multiple gene deletion across insertion sequence (IS) elements in the B. mallei genome. Therefore, the strain by itself is unlikely to revert naturally to its virulent phenotype. There were other genes present in one strain and not the other and vice-versa. Conclusion/Significance: The discovery that this strain of B. mallei was both avirulent in the natural host ponies, and did not possess T3SS associated genes may be fortuitous to advance biodefense research. The deleted virulence-essential T3SS is not likely to be re-acquired naturally. These findings may provide a basis for exclusion of SAVP1 from the Select Agent regulation or at least discussion of what else would be required for exclusion. This exclusion could accelerate research by investigators not possessing BSL-3 facilities and facilitate the production of reagents such as antibodies without the restraints of Select Agent regulation.

SN - 00068314 AB - Because of rapid forcing by varying cloud and sky conditions, turbulence time series collected in the atmospheric surface layer over land may often be nonstationary. The meteorological community, however, has no consensus definition of what nonstationarity is and, thus, no consensus method for how to identify it. This study, therefore, adopts definitions for first-order and second-order stationarity taken from the time series analysis literature and implements new analysis techniques and probabilistic tests to quantify first-order and second-order nonstationarity. First-order nonstationarity manifests as a change in the series mean; second-order nonstationarity, as a change in the variance. The analysis identifies nonstationarity in surface-level turbulent temperature and water vapour series collected during two sample days with solar forcing influenced by cirrus and cirrostratus clouds, but that nonstationarity is not as severe as expected despite the rapid thermal forcing by these clouds. On the other hand, even with negligible cloud forcing, both sample days exhibited severe nonstationarity at night.

Underlying the limits are restrictive sum rules that constrain the distribution of quasistatic eigenvalues. Surprisingly, optimally designed spheroids, with only a single quasistatic degree of freedom, reach the upper bounds for four permittivity values. Away from these permittivities, we demonstrate computationally optimized structures that surpass spheroids and approach the fundamental limits.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2014/03/26/ VL - 598 M3 - Article SP - 217 EP - 223 SN - 09215093 AB - Abstract: Cryogenic high energy ball milling has been used to synthesize nanocrystalline Cu–14Al, Cu–12Al–2Zr and Cu–12Al–2Y alloys by mechanical alloying. The alloys were studied with the aim of comparing the effect of substituting Y and Zr in place of Al, in Cu–Al alloys, on the grain size stability at elevated temperatures. The as-milled alloys were subjected to annealing at various temperatures between 200 and 900°C and the resulting grain morphology has been studied using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The addition of Y results in significantly reduced susceptibility to grain growth whereas in case of CuAl and CuAlZr alloys, the susceptibility to grain growth was much higher. The hardness is substantially increased due to Zr and Y addition in the as-milled CuAl powders. However, the hardness of Cu–12Al–2Zr gradually decreases and approaches that of Cu–14Al alloy after the annealing treatment whereas in case of Cu–12Al–2Y alloy, the relative drop in the hardness is much lower after annealing. Accordingly, the efficacy of grain size stabilization by Y addition at high homologous temperatures has been explained on the basis of a recent thermodynamic stabilization models.

The challenge focused, in particular, on the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the BCR-704 Faujasite zeolite. Entrants were challenged to predict the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the zeolite at 293K and at relative pressures of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. The relative pressure (P/P o) is defined as that relative to the bulk saturation pressure predicted by the model at a given temperature (293K in this case). The predictions were judged by comparison to a set of experimentally determined values which are published here for the first time and were not disclosed prior to the challenge to the entrants. Additional benchmark experimental studies, also described here-in, were carried out and provided to entrants in order to aid in the development of new force fields and simulation methods to be employed in the challenge. These studies included argon and nitrogen adsorption in the BCR-704 Faujasite zeolite. Elemental analysis of the BCR-704 Faujasite type zeolite was also available to entrants via the Institute of Reference Materials and Measurement (IRMM) report EUR 21065 [1].

Zeolite adsorbents are used in a variety of applications due to their high surface area and abilities to adsorb or desorb sorbates depending upon the applied conditions. With increasing numbers of applications, the ability to predict the performance of zeolites for a wide range of adsorbates would be very valuable in pre-optimizing systems and reducing product development time. The seventh challenge focused, in particular, on the adsorption of perfluorohexane in BCR-704 Faujasite Zeolite. Entrants were challenged to predict the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the zeolite at 293K and at relative pressures of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. The relative pressure is defined as that relative to the bulk saturation pressure predicted by the model at a given temperature (293K in this case). The predictions were judged by comparison to a benchmark set of experimentally determined values. Overall good agreement and consistency were found between the predictions of most entrants.

ASG's role in kidnappings serves as a test-case to estimate incongruities among four major datasets on VNSAs. Original data collected at the agent level provides an additional point of comparison and also serves to test the efficacy of ASG's knowledge-dissemination structures, which are key in determining VNSAs' strategic capacities.

JO - Journal of Neuroscience JF - Journal of Neuroscience Y1 - 2014/03/12/ VL - 34 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 4090 EP - 4098 SN - 02706474 AB - TrkA is a tyrosine kinase receptor required for development and survival of the peripheral nervous system. In the adult, TrkA and its ligand NGF are peripheral pain mediators, particularly in inflammatory pain states. However, how TrkA regulates the function of nociceptive neurons and whether its activity levels may lead to sensory abnormalities is still unclear. Here we report the characterization of a 3 aa (KFG) domain that negatively regulates TrkA level and function in response to NGF. Deletion of this domain in mouse causes a reduction of TrkA ubiquitination leading to an increase in TrkA protein levels and activity. The number of dorsal root ganglia neurons is not affected by the mutation. However, mutant mice have enhanced thermal sensitivity and inflammatory pain. Together, these data suggest that ubiquitination is a mechanism used in nociceptive neurons to regulate TrkA level and function. Our results may enhance our understanding of how ubiquitination affects TrkA activation following noxious thermal stimulation and inflammatory pain.

This work summarizes oursystematic approach to understand SEI live formation, via in situelectrochemical atomic force microscopy, which provides topographicimages and quantitative information about the structure, hierarchy,and thickness of interphases as function of electrolyte composition.Complemented by an ex situ chemical analysis, a comprehensive anddynamic picture of interphase formation during the first lithiationcycle of the graphitic anode is described. This combined approachprovides an in situ and quantitative tool to conduct quality controlof formed interphases.

Extreme floods have the capacity to rapidly transform landscapes and expose landscape vulnerabilities through highly variable spatial patterns of inundation, erosion, and deposition. We use the historic activation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway during the Mississippi and Ohio River Flooding of 2011 as a scientifically unique stress experiment to analyze indicators of floodplain vulnerability. We use pre- and postflood airborne Light Detection and Ranging data sets to locate erosional and depositional hotspots over the 540 km² agricultural Floodway. While riparian vegetation between the river and the main levee breach likely prevented widespread deposition, localized scour and deposition occurred near the levee breaches. Eroded gullies nearly 1 km in length were observed at a low ridge of a relict meander scar of the Mississippi River. Our flow modeling and spatial mapping analysis attributes this vulnerability to a combination of erodible soils, flow acceleration associated with legacy fluvial landforms, and a lack of woody vegetation to anchor soil and enhance flow resistance. Results from this study could guide future mitigation and adaptation measures in cases of extreme flooding.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2014/03/04/ VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 479 EP - 496 SN - 10807039 AB - Upland birds that display grit ingestion behavior are potentially at risk of detrimental effects and death from lead poisoning at trap and skeet ranges and other areas where vast quantities of spent lead shot pellets abound. Because commonly cited force-feeding pellet exposure studies deviate from true field conditions, their results may not reflect true risks faced by upland birds. In particular, studies that use new shot pellets and administer more pellets than would be reasonably ingested, critically interfere with the understanding of actualized pellet exposures. In this study, northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus), a frequent test species in shot pellet research, were dosed in an ecologically-relevant manner (i.e., with spent shot and with no more than three pellets). Notably, the 56-day post-dosing observation period, during which a battery of physiological measures were recorded, exceeded that of related studies. Despite a sustained suppression of a lead poisoning indicator, the data suggest upland birds can withstand spent shot pellet exposures. Data detected a survivorship ≥95%, absence of illness, demonstrated tolerance for extremely high blood lead concentrations, and unaffected blood parameters. In conjunction with ecological considerations (e.g., spatial scale and animal behavior), concern about bird population losses from the incidental ingestion of spent shot pellets is potentially overstated.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 65 M3 - Article SP - 102 EP - 109 SN - 0734743X AB - Abstract: The probability distribution of the fragment strike location on round targets within the scope of the expanding cylindrical metal case of a mortar at the center of a vertical arena test is formulated. Recognizing the axi-symmetric configuration, the description of the strike location in Cartesian coordinates is transformed into local polar coordinates. The theoretical distribution is experimentally verified approximately and the intervening parameters are identified. The number of fragments ejected upon case disintegration is estimated using the well-known Mott's model. The distribution of the fragment weight was identified in a previous investigation as Weibull with specific parameters according to the fragment category: either finger or chunk. The impact momentum for the fragment rain upon striking the target is then simulated. An example of application illustrates the practical formulation of probabilistic statements concerning the vulnerability assessment of a set of round targets surrounding a central cylindrical mortar in a vertical arena test arrangement.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 65 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 32 SN - 0734743X AB - Abstract: In this paper, the Lattice Discrete Particle Model for fiber reinforced concrete (LDPM-F) is calibrated and validated with reference to a new high-strength, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) named CORTUF and applied to the simulation of projectile penetration. LDPM-F is a three-dimensional model that simulates concrete at the length scale of coarse aggregate pieces (meso-scale) through the adoption of a discrete modeling framework for both fiber reinforcement and embedding matrix heterogeneity. In this study, CORTUF parameter identification is performed using basic laboratory fiber pull-out experiments and experiments relevant to a CORTUF mix without fiber reinforcement. Extensive comparisons of the numerical predictions against experimental data that were not used during the calibration phase (relevant to both plain CORTUF and CORTUF with fiber reinforcement) are used to validate the calibrated model and to provide solid evidence of its predictive capabilities. Simulations are then carried out to investigate the behavior of protective CORTUF panels subjected to projectile penetration, and the numerical results are discussed with reference to available experimental data obtained at the Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC).

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 616 EP - 620 SN - 07307268 AB - Triaminoguanidinium-1-methyl-5-nitriminotetrazolate (TAG-MNT) is a nitrogen-rich energetic compound being developed as a potential component of insensitive munition formulations. The purpose of the present study was to assess the toxicity of TAG-MNT to the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata as well as to determine whether the high N content of TAG-MNT could result in increased algal growth in aquatic systems and potentially contribute to eutrophication using a 96-h algal growth bioassay in N-limited test media. Results were compared with algal exposures to current-use energetics 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and royal demolition explosive (RDX). The TNT exposure resulted in a lowest-observed-adverse-effect concentration (LOAEC) for algal growth of 1.72 mg/L and a 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) and 95% confidence limits of 0.972 mg/L (0.955, 0.973). The RDX algal growth LOAEC was 0.10 mg/L, and the RDX IC50 was 0.635 (0.416, 0.875). Neither TNT nor RDX exposure resulted in stimulation of algal growth. In repeated testing, TAG-MNT exposure resulted in LOAECs of 0.55 and 5.20 mg/L. Stimulation of algal growth was observed at 0.06 mg/L at a mean increase of 163.2% (± 71.7) relative to the control in TAG-MNT test A and at the 0.005 mg/L treatment at a mean increase of 174.3% (± 59.9) in TAG-MNT test B. The authors' results indicate the potential for high-N energetics to significantly stimulate algal growth at low concentrations in N-limited systems.

Two sizes of silicon nanoparticles, dispersed in both isopropanol and acetone solvents, were studied. Photoluminescence responses of the samples were measured in an environmental chamber that allowed exposure to temperatures in the range of −73 to 65 °C (−100 to 150 °F). These silicon nanoparticles exhibited emission dependence on the temperature of their environment. The emission become brighter as the temperature decreased and less intense as the temperature increased. Thus, the response of these silicon nanoparticles in a harsh environment has been qualified.

Perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions have been used for the treatment of AGE in an animal model. We hypothesized that PFC emulsions enhance microvascular blood flow, speed bubble resolution, and oxygenation in AGE compared with saline in a model of cremaster muscle from anesthetized rats. Materials and methods: AGE was induced by direct air injection into the femoral artery ipsilateral to the studied cremaster muscle. Microhemodynamics, microvascular, and tissue oxygenation were determined before and after treatment with two different commercial PFC emulsions (C10F20, Oxycyte; Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc and C10F18, PHER-O2; Sanguine Corporation, Inc) compared with saline in real time using brightfield and phosphorescence microscopy. Results: Blood pressure and heart rate remained unchanged. Systemic PO2, oxygen (O2) content, and glucose were higher in PFC groups, whereas hematocrit dropped in all groups. Arteriolar blood flow went up 85% and 80% of baseline after C10F20 and C10F18 treatments, respectively, versus 11% after saline treatment. Arteriolar and tissue PO2, and O2 delivery were higher in PFC groups compared with the control group. There was an increase in arteriolar blood flow, reduction in diffusional resistance of O2 in the plasma, and improved tissue oxygenation. Conclusions: Administration of PFC emulsions in AGE is superior to saline primarily because of surfactant properties along with air bubble reabsorption.

Design: Utilizing a 6 × 3 within-subject experimental design, 24 normal-hearing Virginia Tech Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets and active duty soldiers participated. Study sample: Five HPEDS and TCAP devices plus the open ear were tested. On each trial, either wearing a device or with open ears, subjects walked along a 3000-foot line of discrete distance markers toward the auditory threat, which was not visible but still within line-of-sight over flat terrain, stopping to listen when instructed. On approach to the threat, the linear distance at first detection was measured, followed by a continued approach until positive identification occurred. Then the subject reversed direction, retreating away from the threat until detection was lost. Results: ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied to determine statistically-significant differences among HPEDs, TCAPS, and the open ear on the objective detection and identification distance measures. Conclusions: The results have serious implications for selection of HPDs, HPEDs, and TCAPS for applications where preservation of auditory situational awareness via the fundamental detection and identification tasks are essential.

Unfortunately for many species, propagation methods and details about the species' life histories, which can potentially inform reintroduction efforts, are often unknown. We describe for the first time the pseudoannual life cycle of rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulifolia Poiret [Primulaceae]) and techniques that we have used to vegetatively propagate and reintroduce this federally endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United States. Using simulated dormancy and controlled soil temperatures, we increased the number of collected viable rhizomes by approximately 76% over one growing season. At two translocation sites, stem numbers increased an average of 318 ± 145 SD % in five of seven test plots between 2004 and 2010. Using dormant-season-harvested rhizomes and/or reducing competition prior to transplanting via mowing or using herbicides greatly improved translocation success. Only plots receiving neither competition-reduction treatment and outplanted with summer harvested rhizomes showed reductions (73 ± 21 SD %) in the number of stems. Although limited flowering and no capsule production was detected at the translocation sites, a similar lack of sexual reproduction is common in many natural populations of L. asperulifolia. Overall, our results will allow the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and their conservation partners to more confidently pursue recovery goals for the species.

Main hazards encountered in theater include homemade explosives and improvised explosive devices, in part fabricated from simple components like ammonium nitrate (AN). In order to accurately detect and identify these unknowns (energetic or benign), fielded detection systems must be accurately trained using well-understood universal testing substrates. These training substrates must contain target species at known concentrations and recognized polymorphic phases. Ammonium nitrate is an explosive precursor material that demonstrates several different polymorphic phases dependent upon how the material is deposited onto testing substrates. In this paper, known concentrations of AN were uniformly deposited onto commercially available surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates using a drop-on-demand inkjet printing system. The phase changes observed after the deposition of AN under several solvent conditions are investigated. Characteristics of the collected SERS spectra of AN are discussed, and it is demonstrated that an understanding of the exact nature of the AN samples deposited will result in an increased ability to accurately and reliably “train” hazard detection systems.

In some cases, little quantitative information exists about appropriate survey methods to determine occupancy or abundance of bats in forest systems. We quantitatively compared detection probabilities between 2 commonly used survey techniques for 2 bat species that are closely associated with bottomland hardwood stands in the southeastern United States. Passive acoustic surveys of echolocation calls were more likely than systematic roost searches to detect both Rafinesque's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus rafinesquii) and southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius) at 7 study areas in eastern Texas. Our results confirmed that numerous repeat visits (>15 acoustic-survey-nights) are necessary to have high confidence in detecting Rafinesque's big-eared bats; however, southeastern myotis were easier to detect. Our results emphasize the importance of quantitatively assessing survey methods prior to designing or implementing widespread survey programs for bats.

We particularly address the role of a relative phase between the pulses in the gate design. Though, in general, the relative phase determines the exact form of the two-qubit operation, it is shown that it affects only its single qubit part and has no effect on its entangling content. Based on a general canonical decomposition of the evolution operator we demonstrate that the controlled-not (cnot) gate can be decomposed in terms of a two-qubit entangled gate and single qubit phase gates. Our study shows that any relative phase errors in two-qubit operations related to phase fluctuations of the external fields can be successfully corrected locally by single-qubit operations, which are usually easy to implement.

The shell element accommodates transverse shear deformation as well as arbitrarily large displacements and rotations. The shell element is developed using an approach that allows for compatibility with other structural elements in the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System. It is validated by comparing its predictions with benchmark problems. The two-dimensional shell and one-dimensional beam finite-element analyses are compared for three typical blade configurations of varying slenderness ratio: a swept-tip blade, a blade with discontinuous chordwise elastic axis and center-of-gravity locations, and a blade with a flex beam. The purpose is to quantify the differences between two-dimensional-shell one-dimensional-beam finite elements for modeling rotor blades. There is good agreement between the one- and two-dimensional analyses in predicting the natural frequencies of straight blades with a slenderness ratio of greater than 12.5. However, there are up to 16.5% differences in frequency predictions for a slenderness ratio of 17.5 or less and a tip sweep angle of 30 deg or higher. The differences increase with decreasing slenderness ratio and increasing tip sweep angle. For a blade with a discontinuous center-of-gravity offset, frequencies predicted using the two- and one-dimensional analyses show up to 12.5% difference and increase with the center-of-gravity offset. For a blade with discontinuous elastic axis offset, the frequencies predicted using the two analyses have good agreement. The differences are observed when both approaches calculate the structural loads (bending moments) and deformations of a blade with an elastic axis offset.

The time-spectral method is a fast and accurate computational fluid dynamics algorithm for computing unsteady flows. It transforms the flow-governing equations into a periodic steady state by using a Fourier spectral derivative operator. An accompanying steady-state adjoint formulation was implemented in the time-spectral form of the governing equations to enable design optimization for unsteady flows. The time-spectral analysis was validated against conventional time-accurate computational fluid dynamics computation and flight test data of a UH-60A helicopter rotor during high-speed forward flight. A multidisciplinary analysis of blade structural dynamics was carried out through a comprehensive analysis coupling procedure that accounted for aeroelasticity and enforced vehicle trim. The adjoint-based design method was applied to optimize the blade shape of the UH-60A rotor. Power minimization was pursued with nonlinear constraints on the thrust and rotor drag force. The blade twist distribution, sectional airfoil shape, and outboard planform shape comprised over 100 design variables. Starting from the initial blade, the optimizer found a new design that showed improved performance. The validation results coupled with the multidisciplinary comprehensive analysis confirmed actual improvement: a 5% decrease in torque accompanied by a decrease in thrust of less than 1%.

JO - ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information JF - ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 3 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 66 EP - 95 SN - 22209964 AB - There are numerous examples of past and present mine disposal into freshwater and marine coastal bays and riverine environments. Due to its high spatial resolution and extended water penetration, coastal light detection and ranging (LiDAR), coupled with multispectral scanning (MSS), has great promise for resolving disturbed shoreline features in low turbidity environments. Migrating mine tailings present serious issues for Lake Superior and coastal marine environments. Previous investigations in Lake Superior uncovered a metal-rich "halo" around the Keweenaw Peninsula, related to past copper mining practices. For over a century, waste rock migrating from shoreline tailing piles has moved along extensive stretches of coastline, compromising critical fish breeding grounds, damming stream outlets, transgressing into wetlands and along recreational beaches and suppressing benthic invertebrate communities. In Grand (Big) Traverse Bay, Buffalo Reef is an important spawning area for lake trout and whitefish threatened by drifting tailings. The movement of tailings into Buffalo Reef cobble fields may interfere with the hatching of fish eggs and fry survival, either by filling in crevices where eggs are deposited or by toxic effects on eggs, newly hatched larvae or benthic communities. Here, we show that the coastal tailing migration is not "out of sight, out of mind", but clearly revealed by using a combination of LiDAR and MSS techniques.

JO - Computer Physics Communications JF - Computer Physics Communications Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 185 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 939 EP - 947 SN - 00104655 AB - An extremely scalable lattice Boltzmann (LB)–cellular automaton (CA) model for simulations of two-dimensional (2D) dendritic solidification under forced convection is presented. The model incorporates effects of phase change, solute diffusion, melt convection, and heat transport. The LB model represents the diffusion, convection, and heat transfer phenomena. The dendrite growth is driven by a difference between actual and equilibrium liquid composition at the solid–liquid interface. The CA technique is deployed to track the new interface cells. The computer program was parallelized using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) technique. Parallel scaling of the algorithm was studied and major scalability bottlenecks were identified. Efficiency loss attributable to the high memory bandwidth requirement of the algorithm was observed when using multiple cores per processor. Parallel writing of the output variables of interest was implemented in the binary Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) to improve the output performance, and to simplify visualization. Calculations were carried out in single precision arithmetic without significant loss in accuracy, resulting in 50% reduction of memory and computational time requirements. The presented solidification model shows a very good scalability up to centimeter size domains, including more than ten million of dendrites.

T1 - Voltammetric determination of sumatriptan based on a graphene/gold nanoparticles/Nafion composite modified glassy carbon electrode. JO - Talanta JF - Talanta Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 120 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 SN - 00399140 AB - A mixture of graphene oxide and tetrachloroauric acid was electrochemically co-reduced directly on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface via cyclic voltammetry so as to form a graphene (Gr)–gold nanoparticles (AuNP) composite. This nanocomposite was then coated with nafion (NAF) film so as to form Gr/AuNP/NAF/GCE. Sumatriptan (SUM) is a drug belonging to the triptan class, used for the treatment of migraine headaches. In this work, an electrochemical method based on the adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV) employing Gr/AuNP/NAF/GCE has been proposed for the subnanomolar determination of SUM. Characterization of the electrode material has been carried out by UV–visible spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Also the electrode surface has been characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronocoulometry. By employing Gr/AuNP/NAF/GCE at pH 7.0 phosphate buffer, a 20-fold enhancement in the AdSDPV signal was observed as compared to GCE. Under the optimized conditions, I p (µA) was proportional to the SUM concentration in the range of 1.0×10−6–4.12×10−5 M (R 2=0.9991) and 2.14×10−9–1.0×10−6 M (R 2=0.9954) with a detection limit (3×SD/s) of 7.03×10−10 M. The practical analytical utilities of the modified electrode were demonstrated by the determination of SUM in pharmaceutical formulations, human urine and blood serum samples. This proposed method was validated by HPLC and the results are in agreement at the 95% confidence level.

The study consisted of Millennium Cohort Study participants and used self-reported symptoms. Repeated measures modeling assessed PTSD and depression continuously and dichotomously over time. A subanalysis among only recently deployed personnel was conducted. Of the 52,653 participants for the PTSD analysis, the adjusted PCL-C means were 34.6 for Reservists, 34.4 for National Guardsmen, and 34.7 for active duty members, respectively. Of the 53,073 participants for depression analysis, the adjusted PHQ-9 means were 6.8, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively. In dichotomous models, Reservists and National Guardsmen did not have a higher risk of PTSD or depression compared with active duty members. Among deployers, Reservists and National Guardsmen had higher odds (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence limit [CL] [1.01, 1.34] and OR = 1.19, 95% CL [1.04, 1.36], respectively) of screening positive for PTSD, but not depression. Although Reserve and National Guard deployers had modestly increased odds of PTSD compared with active duty members, overall there were minimal differences in the risk and symptom scores of PTSD and depression between service components.

JO - Cognitive Science JF - Cognitive Science Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 38 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 275 EP - 302 SN - 03640213 AB - Learning a novel environment involves integrating first-person perceptual and motoric experiences with developing knowledge about the overall structure of the surroundings. The present experiments provide insights into the parallel development of these egocentric and allocentric memories by intentionally conflicting body- and world-centered frames of reference during learning, and measuring outcomes via online and offline measures. Results of two experiments demonstrate faster learning and increased memory flexibility following route perspective reading (Experiment 1) and virtual navigation (Experiment 2) when participants begin exploring the environment on a northward (vs. any other direction) allocentric heading. We suggest that learning advantages due to aligning body-centered (left/right/forward/back) with world-centered ( NSEW) reference frames are indicative of three features of spatial memory development and representation. First, memories for egocentric and allocentric information develop in parallel during novel environment learning. Second, cognitive maps have a preferred orientation relative to world-centered coordinates. Finally, this preferred orientation corresponds to traditional orientation of physical maps (i.e., north is upward), suggesting strong associations between daily perceptual and motor experiences and the manner in which we preferentially represent spatial knowledge.

JO - Applied Geography JF - Applied Geography Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 48 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 30 SN - 01436228 AB - Abstract: This study addresses the need for a policy-relevant climatic vulnerability model in sub-Saharan Africa, where data is typically poor and people are exposed to a wide range of environmental and socioeconomic stressors that are unique to the region. This research applies a multi-scale, multi-indicator methodology that allows policy-makers and experts flexibility to contextualize causal factors in the modeling process through selection of evidence-based variables of vulnerability. This process is easily scaled to stakeholders needs, whether at a state, district or local level. This article provides a framework to assist stakeholders and policy-makers in Malawi to determine what drives vulnerability at a household level, which areas in the country are most vulnerable and where development solutions should be applied. As financial assistance related to climate adaptation increases rapidly in Africa, this article presents timely results for Malawi and an auspicious methodology that can assist other vulnerable countries.

JO - Behavior Research Methods JF - Behavior Research Methods Y1 - 2014/03// VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 140 EP - 147 SN - 1554351X AB - Using a personal computer (PC) for simple visual reaction time testing is advantageous because of the relatively low hardware cost, user familiarity, and the relative ease of software development for specific neurobehavioral testing protocols. However, general-purpose computers are not designed with the millisecond-level accuracy of operation required for such applications. Software that does not control for the various sources of delay may return reaction time values that are substantially different from the true reaction times. We have developed and characterized a freely available system for PC-based simple visual reaction time testing that is analogous to the widely used psychomotor vigilance task (PVT). In addition, we have integrated individualized prediction algorithms for near-real-time neurobehavioral performance prediction. We characterized the precision and accuracy with which the system as a whole measures reaction times on a wide range of computer hardware configurations, comparing its performance with that of the 'gold standard' PVT-192 device. We showed that the system is capable of measuring reaction times with an average delay of less than 10 ms, a margin of error that is comparable to that of the gold standard. The most critical aspect of hardware selection is the type of mouse used for response detection, with gaming mice showing a significant advantage over standard ones.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/02/18/ VL - 48 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2404 EP - 2412 SN - 0013936X AB - The aim of this study was to explore the utility of "omics" approaches in monitoring aquatic environments where complex, often unknown stressors make chemical-specific risk assessment untenable. We examined changes in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) ovarian transcriptome following 4-day exposures conducted at three sites in Minnesota (MN, USA). Within each site, fish were exposed to water from three locations along a spatial gradient relative to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge. After exposure, site-specific impacts on gene expression in ovaries were assessed. Using an intragradient point of comparison, biological responses specifically associated with the WWTP effluent were identified using functional enrichment analyses. Fish exposed to water from locations downstream of the effluent discharges exhibited many transcriptomic responses in common with those exposed to the effluent, indicating that effects of the discharge do not fully dissipate downstream. Functional analyses showed a range of biological pathways impacted through effluent exposure at all three sites. Several of those impacted pathways at each site could be linked to potential adverse reproductive outcomes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in female fathead minnows, specifically signaling pathways associated with oocyte meiosis, TGF-beta signaling, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB), and gene sets associated with cyclin B-1 and metalloproteinase. The utility of this approach comes from the ability to identify biological responses to pollutant exposure, particularly those that can be tied to adverse outcomes at the population level and those that identify molecular targets for future studies.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used to promote the formation of non-spherical morphologies. The ratio of PEG to NaOH was found to influence the morphology of the products. Nanocrystalline spheres, cubes, block-like structures, rods, and dendrites were produced in the study. All resultant products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Influential factors on the growth mechanisms of ITO are discussed.

Despite detailed investigations, understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating inflammation is incomplete. Knowledge of such critical regulatory processes and informative indicators of chronic inflammation is necessary for efficacious therapeutic interventions and diagnostic support to clinicians. We used a computational modeling approach to elucidate the critical factors responsible for chronic inflammation and to identify robust molecular indicators of chronic inflammatory conditions. Our kinetic model successfully captured experimentally observed cell and cytokine dynamics for both acute and chronic inflammatory responses. Using sensitivity analysis, we identified macrophage influx and efflux rate modulation as the strongest inducing factor of chronic inflammation for a wide range of scenarios. Moreover, our model predicted that, among all major inflammatory mediators, IL-6, TGF-β, and PDGF may generally be considered the most sensitive and robust indicators of chronic inflammation, which is supported by existing, but limited, experimental evidence.

JO - Analytical Biochemistry JF - Analytical Biochemistry Y1 - 2014/02/15/ VL - 447 M3 - Article SP - 64 EP - 73 SN - 00032697 AB - We constructed a genetic fusion of a single domain antibody (sdAb) with the thermal stable maltose binding protein from the thermophile Pyrococcus furiosus (PfuMBP). Produced in the Escherichia coli cytoplasm with high yield, it proved to be a rugged and effective immunoreagent. The sdAb–A5 binds BclA, a Bacillus anthracis spore protein, with high affinity (K D ∼50pM). MBPs, including the thermostable PfuMBP, have been demonstrated to be excellent folding chaperones, improving production of many recombinant proteins. A three-step purification of E. coli shake flask cultures of PfuMBP–sdAb gave a yield of approximately 100mg/L highly purified product. The PfuMBP remained stable up to 120°C, whereas the sdAb–A5 portion unfolded at approximately 68 to 70°C but could refold to regain activity. This fusion construct was stable to heating at 1mg/ml for 1h at 70°C, retaining nearly 100% of its binding activity; nearly one-quarter (24%) activity remained after 1h at 90°C. The PfuMBP–sdAb construct also provides a stable and effective method to coat gold nanoparticles. Most important, the construct was found to provide enhanced detection of B. anthracis Sterne strain (34F2) spores relative to the sdAb–A5 both as a capture reagent and as a detection reagent.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2014/02/15/ VL - 122 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 635 EP - 649 SN - 01650009 AB - Global warming may result in substantial sea level rise and more intense hurricanes over the next century, leading to more severe coastal flooding. Here, observed climate and sea level trends over the last century (c. 1900s to 2000s) are used to provide insight regarding future coastal inundation trends. The actual impacts of Hurricane Katrina (2005) in New Orleans are compared with the impacts of a similar hypothetical hurricane occurring c. 1900. Estimated regional sea level rise since 1900 of 0.75 m, which contains a dominant land subsidence contribution (0.57 m), serves as a 'prototype' for future climate-change induced sea level rise in other regions. Landform conditions c. 1900 were estimated by changing frictional resistance based on expected additional wetlands at lower sea levels. Surge simulations suggest that flood elevations would have been 15 to 60 % lower c. 1900 than the conditions observed in 2005. This drastic change suggests that significantly more flood damage occurred in 2005 than would have occurred if sea level and climate conditions had been like those c. 1900. We further show that, in New Orleans, sea level rise dominates surge-induced flooding changes, not only by increasing mean sea level, but also by leading to decreased wetland area. Together, these effects enable larger surges. Projecting forward, future global sea level changes of the magnitude examined here are expected to lead to increased flooding in coastal regions, even if the storm climate is unchanged. Such flooding increases in densely populated areas would presumably lead to more widespread destruction.

The procedure utilizes surrogate data to yield an exact test statistic distribution valid for any sample size. Surrogate data are generated using a novel algorithm that guarantees, per shot, a uniform sampling from the set of sequences that exactly match the th order properties of the observed data. Using the test, the Markov order of Tel Aviv rainfall data is examined.

Two groups (one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States) independently evaluated inhibitor-resistant PCR reagents for the direct testing of substrates. In the United Kingdom, a multiplexed Bacillus anthracis (target) and Bacillus subtilis (internal-control) PCR was used to evaluate 4 reagents against 5 PCR inhibitors and down-selected the TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step master mix (Life Technologies Inc.). In the United States, four real-time PCR assays (targeting B. anthracis, Brucella melitensis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus [VEEV], and Orthopoxvirus spp.) were used to evaluate 5 reagents (plus the Fast Virus master mix) against buffer, blood, and soil samples and down-selected the KAPA Blood Direct master mix (KAPA Biosystems Inc.) with added Platinum Taq (Life Technologies). The down-selected reagents underwent further testing. In the United Kingdom experiments, both reagents were tested against seven contrived aerosol collector samples containing B. anthracis Ames DNA and B. subtilis spores from a commercial formulation (BioBall). In PCR assays with reaction mixtures containing 40% crude sample, an airfield-collected sample induced inhibition of the B. subtilis PCR with the KAPA reagent and complete failure of both PCRs with the Fast Virus reagent. However, both reagents allowed successful PCR for all other samples—which inhibited PCRs with a non-inhibitor-resistant reagent. In the United States, a cross-assay limit-of-detection (LoD) study in blood was conducted. The KAPA Blood Direct reagent allowed the detection of agent DNA (by four PCRs) at higher concentrations of blood in the reaction mixture (2.5%) than the Fast Virus reagent (0.5%), although LoDs differed between assays and reagent combinations. Across both groups, the KAPA Blood Direct reagent was determined to be the optimal reagent for inhibition relief in PCR.

An electric dipole on the surface of the structure induces second-harmonic light to propagate into two distinct volume plasmon-polariton channels: a signal that propagates within its own peculiar resonance cone and a phase-locked signal that is trapped under the pump's resonance cone. Metamaterial dispersion and birefringence induce a large angular divergence between the two volume plasmon polaritons, making these structures suitable for subwavelength second- and higher-harmonic imaging microscopy.

JO - Nanotoxicology JF - Nanotoxicology Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 87 SN - 17435390 AB - Hazard identification is an important step in assessing nanomaterial risk and is required under multiple regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe and worldwide. Given the emerging nature of the field and complexity of nanomaterials, multiple studies on even basic material properties often result in varying data pointing in different directions when data interpretation is attempted. Weight of evidence (WOE) evaluation has been recommended for nanomaterial risk assessment, but the majority of WOE frameworks are qualitative in nature and do not satisfy the growing needs for objectivity and transparency that are necessary for regulatory decision making. This paper implements a quantitative WOE framework that utilizes multi-criteria decision analysis methodology for integrating individual studies on nanomaterial hazard resulting from physico-chemical and toxicological properties of nanomaterials. For the first time, a WOE approach explicitly integrates expert evaluation of data quality of available information. Application of the framework is illustrated for titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2), but the approach is designed to compare the relative hazard of several nanomaterials as well as emerging stressors in general.

JO - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Taylor & Francis Ltd) JF - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Taylor & Francis Ltd) Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 64 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 227 EP - 234 SN - 10962247 AB - Emission factors (EFs) of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm (PM10) from the open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) of energetic materials were measured using a hybrid-optical remote sensing (hybrid-ORS) method. This method is based on the measurement of range-resolved PM backscattering values with a micropulse light detection and ranging (LIDAR; MPL) device. Field measurements were completed during March 2010 at Tooele Army Depot, Utah, which is an arid continental site. PM10EFs were quantified for OB of M1 propellant and OD of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). EFs from this study are compared with previous OB/OD measurements reported in the literature that have been determined with point measurements either in enclosed or ambient environments, and with concurrent airborne point measurements. PM10mass EFs, determined with the hybrid-ORS method, were 7.8 × 10−3kg PM10/kg M1 from OB of M1 propellant, and 0.20 kg PM10/kg TNT from OD of TNT. Compared with previous results reported in the literature, the hybrid-ORS method EFs were 13% larger for OB and 174% larger for OD. Compared with the concurrent airborne measurements, EF values from the hybrid-ORS method were 37% larger for OB and 54% larger for OD. For TNT, no statistically significant differences were observed for the EFs measured during the detonation of 22.7 and 45.4 kg of TNT, supporting that the total amount of detonated mass in this mass range does not have an effect on the EFs for OD of TNT.

T1 - Forecasting landscape effects of Mississippi River diversions on elevation and accretion in Louisiana deltaic wetlands under future environmental uncertainty scenarios. JO - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science JF - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 138 M3 - Article SP - 57 EP - 68 SN - 02727714 AB - Abstract: Large sediment diversions are proposed and expected to build new wetlands to alleviate the extensive wetland loss (5000 km2) affecting coastal Louisiana during the last 78 years. Current assessment and prediction of the impacts of sediment diversions have focused on the capture and dispersal of both water and sediment on the adjacent river side and the immediate outfall marsh area. However, little is known about the effects of sediment diversions on existing wetland surface elevation and vertical accretion dynamics in the receiving basin at the landscape scale. In this study, we used a spatial wetland surface elevation model developed in support of Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan to examine such landscape-scale effects of sediment diversions. Multiple sediment diversion projects were incorporated in the model to simulate surface elevation and vertical accretion for the next 50 years (2010–2060) under two environmental (moderate and less optimistic) scenarios. Specifically, we examined landscape-scale surface elevation and vertical accretion trends under diversions with different geographical locations, diverted discharge rates, and geomorphic characteristics of the receiving basin. Model results indicate that small diversions (<283 m3 s−1) tend to have limited effects of reducing landscape-scale elevation loss (<3%) compared to a future without action (FWOA) condition. Large sediment diversions (>1500 m3 s−1) are required to achieve landscape-level benefits to promote surface elevation via vertical accretion to keep pace with rising sea level.

The criteria are based on a combination of a point process, one-point and two-point probability functions; convergence of microstructure size; and equality of fiber radius distribution. The criteria were shown to distinguish different microstructures and identify similar ones. Also, a reconstruction technique is proposed that can efficiently reconstruct a microstructure while satisfying the criteria. Results show the reconstruction technique exceeded the 5% tolerances set by multiple samples of an experimental observation.

We derived an eighth symmetric formulation of the Generalized Method of Cells for triply periodic microstructures. During this endeavor, an inherent symmetry was discovered. This implied that all repeating unit cells may be quarter symmetric representations of other microstructures. Additionally, it was discovered that a repeating unit cell can have columns of subcells swapped with no changes to the local or global fields. We concluded that first-order micromechanics are not well suited for capturing detailed or complex microstructures; however, higher-order theories, such as High Fidelity Generalized Method of Cells, can adequately model these microstructures.

JO - Composite Structures JF - Composite Structures Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 108 M3 - Article SP - 277 EP - 286 SN - 02638223 AB - Abstract: We report the recovery and improvement in low-velocity impact properties of e-glass/epoxy composites achieved through embedding self-healing agent (SHA) filled hollow glass fibers (HGFs). At first, catalytic technique was used to fill bonded HGFs with SHA. The HGFs were then laid on e-glass fibers and the laminates were fabricated using vacuum assisted resin infusion molding (VARIM) process. Low-velocity impact tests at two different energy levels were conducted multiple times in the closest proximity to determine the healing efficiency. Results showed significant improvement and recovery in impact properties with 53.6% gain in peak load after second impact in SHA filled HGFs samples in comparison to control samples. A significant gain in energy to peak load was also found in SHA filled samples with 86.6% improvement over control samples. Optical microscopy images of SHA filled HGFs samples showed filling of cracks developed after impact. A distinct damage behavior was observed in control and HGFs embedded samples.

The microstructures of the as-received powder and cold spray processed (CSP) ultrafine-grained (UFG) 6061 depositions were characterized by different electron microscopy techniques. It was found that there is segregation of solute elements at the particle grain boundaries, which is increased after cold spraying (CS). Various microstructural features were observed in both directions (parallel and perpendicular) of the CSP layer, including low-angle grain boundaries, clustered-small-cell walls, and dislocation tangle zones. The results also indicated that a combination of different recrystallization mechanisms (i.e., continuous and geometrical) may contribute to the formation of nano and UFG structures during CS.

JO - Aerosol Science & Technology JF - Aerosol Science & Technology Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 48 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 227 SN - 02786826 AB - Aerodynamic particle sizer (APS) users typically calibrate the particle sizing capabilities, but not the counting efficiency upon which aerosol concentration results are based. Herein, comparisons were made between the counts provided by an ink jet aerosol generator (IJAG) with those measured by an APS. Near-monodisperse (geometric standard deviation of about 1.06) liquid or solid aerosols in the size range of 0.95 to 13.3 μm aerodynamic diameter (AD) generated with an IJAG were released into the inner inlet-tube of the APS in a manner that rendered APS wall and aspiration losses negligible. For most experiments, the IJAG generated 75 particles/s, which rate was maintained by the IJAG system through control of electrical pulses applied to its ink jet cartridge. For particles in the size range of 2–13.3 μm AD, the ratio of relative detection efficiency (ratio of the number of particles counted by the APS to the number reported as generated by the IJAG) was 99.3 ± 1.4%; however, for test particles between 0.95 and 2 μm AD, the relative detection efficiency was somewhat lower, but the drop off was less than about 2%. This slight drop off is likely associated with the light scattering detection approach and corresponding counting algorithm of the APS. Tests were conducted where the IJAG produced 7.0 μm AD particles at rates of 1 to 500 s-1and the results showed essentially a 1:1 correspondence between IJAG and APS counts. The presence of smaller-sized background particles did not affect the measured APS counts of larger-sized challenge particles.

Local stiffness measurements on the composite electrodes determined through nano­indentation showed an 80% increase over the neat solid polymer electrolyte matrix. Electrochemical properties are monitored as a function of average tensile strain in the SSCs. Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests with in situ microtensile testing on SSCs are used to show a 10% increase in the specific capacitance through the elastic region of the composite. The increase in capacitance is partly attributed to the enhanced double layer interaction that results from the partial alignment of the polymer electrolyte chains at the electrode-electrolyte interface. When soaked in 1 m sulfuric acid, the specific capacitance of the CNT-polymer electrolyte reached approximately 72 F g-1 at 60 °C.

They posited that participants rotate mental images to achieve a match and that mental rotation recruits motor processes. This interpretation has become central in the literature, but until now, surprisingly few researchers have compared mental and physical rotation. We had participants rotate virtual Shepard and Metzler figures mentally and physically; response time, accuracy, and real-time rotation data were collected. Results suggest that mental and physical rotation processes overlap and also reveal novel conclusions about physical rotation that have implications for mental rotation. Notably, participants did not rotate figures to achieve a match, but rather until they reached an off-axis canonical difference, and rotational strategies markedly differed for judgments of whether the figures were the same or different.

An effective strategy for speckle reduction is to use a dictionary that can sparsely represent the features in the speckled image. However, such approaches fail to capture important salient features such as texture. In this paper, we present a speckle reduction algorithm that handles this issue by formulating the restoration problem so that the structure and texture components can be separately estimated with different dictionaries. To solve this formulation, an iterative algorithm based on surrogate functionals is proposed. Experiments indicate the proposed method performs favorably compared to state-of-the-art speckle reduction methods.

JO - Journal of Luminescence JF - Journal of Luminescence Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 146 M3 - Article SP - 470 EP - 474 SN - 00222313 AB - Abstract: The effect of Al doping concentration and oxygen ambient pressure on the structural and optical properties of chemical vapor deposition-grown, Al-doped ZnO nanowires is studied. As Al doping increases, the strength of the broad visible emission band decreases and the UV emission increases, but the growth rate depends on the oxygen pressure in a complex manner. Together, these behaviors suggest that Al doping is effective in reducing the number of oxygen vacancies responsible for visible emission, especially at low oxygen ambient pressure. The intensities and quantum efficiencies of these emission mechanisms are discussed in terms of the effect growth and doping conditions have on the underlying excitonic decay mechanisms.

JO - Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry JF - Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 22 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1148 EP - 1155 SN - 09680896 AB - Abstract: Natural products represent the fourth generation of multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agents that resensitize MDR cancer cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein (Pgp) to cytotoxic agents. We have developed an effective synthetic route to prepare various Strychnos alkaloids and their derivatives. Molecular modeling of these alkaloids docked to a homology model of Pgp was employed to optimize ligand–protein interactions and design analogues with increased affinity to Pgp. Moreover, the compounds were evaluated for their (1) binding affinity to Pgp by fluorescence quenching, and (2) MDR reversal activity using a panel of in vitro and cell-based assays and compared to verapamil, a known inhibitor of Pgp activity. Compound 7 revealed the highest affinity to Pgp of all Strychnos congeners (K d =4.4μM), the strongest inhibition of Pgp ATPase activity, and the strongest MDR reversal effect in two Pgp-expressing cell lines. Altogether, our findings suggest the clinical potential of these synthesized compounds as viable Pgp modulators justifies further investigation.

Systems JF - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man & Cybernetics. Systems Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 44 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 146 EP - 161 SN - 21682216 AB - The recent growth of agent-based software systems was achieved without the development of a reference architecture. From a software engineering standpoint, a reference architecture is necessary to compare, evaluate, and integrate past, current, and future agent-based software systems. The agent systems reference architecture (ASRA) advances the agent-based system development process by providing a set of key interaction patterns for functional areas that exist between the layers and protocols of agent-based systems. Furthermore, the ASRA identifies the points for interoperability between agent-based systems and increases the level of discussion when referring to agent-based systems. This paper presents methodology, grounded in software forensics, to develop the ASRA and provides an overview of the resulting architectural representation. The methodology uses an approach based on software engineering techniques adapted to study agent frameworks—the libraries and tools for building agent systems. The resulting ASRA can serve as an abstract representation of the components necessary for facilitating comparison, integration, and interoperation of software systems composed of agents.

The U.S. Department of Defense neurotrauma research portfolio contains more than 500 research projects funded at more than $700 million and is aimed at developing interventions that mitigate the effects of trauma to the nervous system and lead to improved quality of life outcomes. A key area of this portfolio focuses on the need for effective pharmacological approaches for treating patients with TBI and its associated symptoms. The Neurotrauma Pharmacology Workgroup was established by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) with the overarching goal of providing a strategic research plan for developing pharmacological treatments that improve clinical outcomes after TBI. To inform this plan, the Workgroup (a) assessed the current state of the science and ongoing research and (b) identified research gaps to inform future development of research priorities for the neurotrauma research portfolio. The Workgroup identified the six most critical research priority areas in the field of pharmacological treatment for persons with TBI. The priority areas represent parallel efforts needed to advance clinical care; each requires independent effort and sufficient investment. These priority areas will help the USAMRMC and other funding agencies strategically guide their research portfolios to ensure the development of effective pharmacological approaches for treating patients with TBI.

The model incorporates realistic descriptions of the virus genotypes in nucleotide and amino acid sequence spaces, as well as their diversification from error-prone replications. It quantitatively considers factors such as target cell number, bottleneck size, passage period, infection and cell death rates, and the replication rate of different genotypes, allowing for systematic examinations of how their changes affect the evolutionary dynamics of viruses during passages. The relative probability for a viral population to achieve adaptation under a new host environment, quantified by the rate with which a target sequence frequency rises above 50%, was found to be most sensitive to factors related to sequence structure (distance from the wild type to the target) and selection strength (host cell number and bottleneck size). For parameter values representative of RNA viruses, the likelihood of observing adaptations during passages became negligible as the required number of mutations rose above two amino acid sites. We modeled the specific adaptation process of influenza A H5N1 viruses in mammalian hosts by simulating the evolutionary dynamics of H5 strains under the fitness landscape inferred from multiple sequence alignments of H3 proteins. In light of comparisons with experimental findings, we observed that the evolutionary dynamics of adaptation is strongly affected not only by the tendency toward increasing fitness values but also by the accessibility of pathways between genotypes constrained by the genetic code.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2014/01/15/ VL - 88 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 811 EP - 819 SN - 0022538X AB - Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is a rodent-borne hantavirus that causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) predominantly in North America. SNV infection of immunocompetent hamsters results in an asymptomatic infection; the only lethal disease model for a pathogenic hantavirus is Andes virus (ANDV) infection of Syrian hamsters. Efforts to create a lethal SNV disease model in hamsters by repeatedly passaging virus through the hamster have demonstrated increased dissemination of the virus but no signs of disease. In this study, we demonstrate that immunosuppression of hamsters through the administration of a combination of dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide, followed by infection with SNV, results in a vascular leak syndrome that accurately mimics both HPS disease in humans and ANDV infection of hamsters. Immunosuppressed hamsters infected with SNV have a mean number of days to death of 13 and display clinical signs associated with HPS, including pulmonary edema. Viral antigen was widely detectable throughout the pulmonary endothelium. Histologic analysis of lung sections showed marked inflammation and edema within the alveolar septa of SNV-infected hamsters, results which are similar to what is exhibited by hamsters infected with ANDV. Importantly, SNV-specific neutralizing polyclonal antibody administered 5 days after SNV infection conferred significant protection against disease. This experiment not only demonstrated that the disease was caused by SNV, it also demonstrated the utility of this animal model for testing candidate medical countermeasures. This is the first report of lethal disease caused by SNV in an adult small-animal model.

Glass transition temperatures estimated from a series of simulations at different temperatures were in good agreement with experimental measurements. Stress–strain relationships under uniaxial deformation conditions were also obtained and analyzed. Overall, polymers with smaller repeat units exhibited slightly higher glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli, which were attributed to higher cohesive energy densities. Furan polyamides displayed higher van der Waals cohesive energy densities and maintained more rigid planar structures near furan rings compared to nylons. As a result, bio-based furan polyamides showed higher glass transition temperatures and comparable mechanical properties despite having overall weaker hydrogen bonding than nylons.

The ballistic penetration resistance of the materials are determined against a fragment simulating projectile and compared to the performance of the baseline matrix alloy. Digital image correlation with high speed photography is used to measure the full field deflection of the materials during impact. Mechanical behavior and post-mortem fracture analysis are used to relate material properties to performance in penetrating and non-penetrating impact events. It is demonstrated that the MMC materials exhibit a strong asymmetry in their tensile and compressive responses. The MMC materials are stronger in compression and the asymmetry in response increases with increasing volume fraction of fiber. It was found that the ballistic performance ( ) decreases when the volume fraction of fiber is greater than 3% due to the decrease in tensile strain to failure at higher volume fractions. In non-penetrating impacts the increased stiffness and strength with higher volume fractions greatly reduces the magnitude and distribution of plate deflection.

JO - Environmental Modelling & Software JF - Environmental Modelling & Software Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 51 M3 - Article SP - 296 EP - 309 SN - 13648152 AB - Abstract: Untangling drivers of systems and uncertainty for species distribution models (SDMs) is important to provide reliable predictions that are useful for conservation campaigns. This is particularly true for species whose habitat is threatened by climate change that enhances the uncertainty in future species distributions. Global sensitivity and uncertainty analyses (GSUA) is a robust method to globally investigate the uncertainty of SDMs and the importance of species distributions' drivers in space and time. Here we apply GSUA to MaxEnt that is one of the popular presence-only SDMs. We consider the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) (SP) in Florida that is a shorebird whose habitat is affected by sea level rise due to climate change. The importance of intrinsic and exogenous input factors to the uncertainty of the species distribution is evaluated for MaxEnt. GSUA is applied for three projections of the habitat (2006, 2060, and 2100) according to the A1B sea level rise scenario. The large land cover variation determines a moderate decrease in habitat suitability in 2060 and 2100 prospecting a low risk of decline for the SP. The regularization parameter for the environmental features, the uncertainty into the classification of salt-marsh, transitional marsh, and ocean beach, and the maximum number of iterations for the model training are in this order the most important input factors for the average habitat suitability. These results are related to the SP but, in general MaxEnt appears as a very non-linear model where uncertainty mostly derives from the interactions among input factors. The uncertainty of the output is a species-specific variable. Thus, GSUA need be performed for each case considering local exogenous input factors of the model. GSUA allows quantitative informed species-management decisions by providing scenarios with controlled uncertainty and confidence over factors' importance that can be used by resource managers.

Deep-groove geometry has been chosen for the microball-bearing systems because of the ability to handle mixed axial and radial loads, allowing for stable, high-speed operation compared to previous iterations of the microball-bearing raceways. The multi-step inductively coupled plasma-based process is optimized to obtain <2% deviation amongst intended raceway depth, width and curvature. Etching non-uniformity is measured to be 0.15% within the raceway of a single device. The bearing dynamics with the new deep-groove geometry have been simulated. The deep-groove raceway packed with off-the-shelf precision ball-bearings provided a stability improvement over previous demonstrations of high-performance rotary micromachines operating at high speeds.

Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database, the number of clavicle fractures presenting to a representative sample of US hospitals was retrospectively calculated and weighted estimates used to extrapolate this data to the US population. Incidence estimates were obtained using validated analyses and US census data, with sports injuries being noted and fractures stratified by sport. A total of 9 428 fractures of the clavicle were reported, representing 357 155 injuries in the US population over 5 years. The estimated incidence of clavicle fractures in the US presenting for emergency care is 24.4 fractures per 100 000 person-years (95 % confidence intervals (CI), 22.8-26.1). The peak incidence was highest between ages 10-19 years. Men were nearly 3 times as likely to sustain a clavicle fracture. Sports were a factor in 45 % of all clavicle fractures. In sports-related injuries, 16 % of fractures occurred from bicycling, followed by football (12 %) and soccer (6 %). In summary, injuries from bicycling were the most common cause of clavicle fracture, followed by contact sports. Male gender and younger age are risk factors for clavicle fractures.

We investigated the existence of clusters of infected patients according to their clinical presentation. Using national surveillance data from the Electronic-Integrated Disease Surveillance System, we applied a latent class cluster (LCC) analysis on symptoms to determine clusters of brucellosis cases. A total of454 cases reported between July 2011 and July 2013 were analyzed. LCC identified a two-cluster model and the Vuong-Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio supported the cluster model. Brucellosis cases in the second cluster (19%) reported higher percentages of poly-lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, arthritis, myositis, and neuritis and changes in liver function tests compared to cases of the first cluster. Patients in the second cluster had a severe brucellosis disease course and were associated with longer delay in seeking medical attention. Moreover, most of them were from Beylagan, a region focused on sheep and goat livestock production in southcentral Azerbaijan. Patients in cluster 2 accounted for one-quarter of brucellosis cases and had a more severe clinical presentation. Delay in seeking medical care may explain severe illness. Future work needs to determine the factors that influence brucellosis case seeking and identify brucellosis species, particularly among cases from Beylagan.

JO - XRS: X-ray Spectrometry JF - XRS: X-ray Spectrometry Y1 - 2014/01//Jan/Feb2014 VL - 43 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 21 SN - 00498246 AB - Micro X-ray fluorescence ( μ-XRF) spectrometry using an energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) detector is capable of detecting certain major, minor, and trace elements that permit potential discrimination of glass fragments in forensic cases on the basis of differences in elemental composition. Often, elements used for discrimination are present at concentrations near the detection limit of the EDS system, and the decision whether to utilize these minor peaks in a comparative analysis has generally been left to the discretion of the examiner. The use of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of spectral peaks provides additional objectivity in peak identification/label decisions and in the selection of elements in semiquantitative ratio comparisons. In addition, the use of SNRs enables calculations of limits of detection and limits of quantitation and the monitoring of instrument performance, and facilitates performance comparisons of different μ-XRF configurations. This paper demonstrates a practical method for applying the concepts of SNR, limits of detection, and limits of quantitation to μ-XRF generated EDS-based spectra, discusses the implications of such determinations, addresses spectral features that must be considered when making the calculations, and illustrates the application of these concepts to the example of forensic examination and comparison of glass samples.

JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 140 M3 - Article SP - 690 EP - 703 SN - 00344257 AB - Abstract: The thermal infrared (TIR) wavelength region has proved highly useful for remotely extracting important parameters of volcanic activity, such as the composition, texture, and temperature of either the surface or gas/aerosol emissions. However, each of these characteristics can vary within the area of one pixel of a remote sensing dataset, which ultimately affects the accuracy of the retrieval of these characteristics. For example, where multiple temperatures occur in a particular pixel, the derived emissivity spectrum and pixel-integrated brightness temperature for that pixel are inaccurate. We present a new approach for deconvolving thermally-mixed pixels in a day/night pair of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared (TIR) scenes over Kilauea volcano, acquired during an active effusive phase in October 2006. The thermal deconvolution algorithm identifies thermally-mixed pixels and determines the multiple temperature components and their area, using data from the higher spatial resolution short wave infrared (SWIR) channels of ASTER. The effects of thermal mixing on the emissivity retrievals were quantified using a spectral deconvolution approach comparing the original to the thermally deconvolved data. The root mean squared (RMS) error improved slightly from 0.879 to 0.813, whereas the compositional end-members changed more dramatically (e.g., glass decreased from 70.2% to 49.3% and the vesicularity increased from 0.7% to 16.3%). The results provide more accurate temperature and emissivity data derived from ASTER data over thermally-elevated surfaces such as volcanoes and fires. This approach also serves as rapid means for accurately identifying sub-pixel temperatures, commonly obscured in low to medium spatial resolution orbital datasets. Moreover, it minimizes processing time, allowing critical information to be quickly disseminated.

JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 140 M3 - Article SP - 118 EP - 129 SN - 00344257 AB - Abstract: The albedo of the Greenland ice sheet plays a key role in the energy balance and climate of the arctic. Change in snow albedo values associated with changing climate conditions can be monitored remotely from satellite platforms viewing the entire Greenland ice sheet, yet comparisons to high quality surface measurements are necessary to assess the accuracy of satellite measurements as new snow albedo algorithms are developed with higher spatial and temporal resolution. During May, June, and July 2011, we obtained daily measurements of spectral albedo at Summit, Greenland with an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectroradiometer, scanning at 350–2200nm. We compare our spectral albedo field measurements to the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), using both the Version 005 Direct Broadcast daily albedo product and the recently developed Version 006 MCD43A daily albedo product. The spectral field measurements allow calculation of weighted integrals to compare to seven MODIS narrow bandwidths ranging the UV through Infrared, as well as a broadband integration to compare to the MODIS shortwave albedo. We additionally compare our field measurements to albedo measured at the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) station at Summit. Using the MODIS Version 005 Direct Broadcast product, high-quality retrievals only, comparison to field measurements results in root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.033 for the MODIS shortwave product, and RMSE for the MODIS narrow bandwidths ranging 0.022–0.077. The new MODIS Version 006 product shows considerable improvement, with shortwave RMSE of 0.026, and narrow bandwidths ranging 0.020–0.048. These error values for the Version 006 albedo product show an improvement in reported error values from previous MODIS field validations in Greenland, which have been limited to broadband data from the Greenland Climate Network Automatic Weather Stations.

Two experiments explored interactions between spatial and social categories on map memory when mediated by retrieval (Experiment 1) and encoding (Experiment 2) demands. Participants studied a map depicting business locations (including proprietors' race). In Experiment 1, participants completed two memory tasks, one globally focused and the other locally focused. The global task compressed, while the local task expanded, within-category similarity. Furthermore, processing styles carried over to the subsequent task. Experiment 2 emphasized either the spatial or social category during encoding, which increased that category's weighting in memory. These results extend the work of Maddox, Rapp, Brion, and Taylor, suggesting that retrieval and encoding demands can shift how these categories affect spatial memory.

The thickness of the CNT sheet was found to have a significant impact on the radiation performance of the patch antenna due to the material skin depth, with an \sim 5.5-dB improvement to the realized gain achieved when the CNT sheet thickness was increased from 0.5 \mum to 5 \mum, likely due to lower surface impedance. The 5 \mum-CNT sheet patch antenna exhibited 2.1-dBi total realized gain compared with 5.6-dBi realized gain for baseline copper patch antenna yielding a 3.5-dB reduction attributable to the material substitution. A unique polarization sensitivity behavior was seen by adjusting the alignment of the CNTs within the CNT sheet patch structure. Optimal RF performance was observed when the CNTs within the sheet material were aligned with the E-plane of the patch antenna. When the CNT alignment was orthogonal to that of the E-plane of the patch antenna, the realized gain was reduced by over 8 dB. The input reactance changes from inductive to capacitive due to the geometry and alignment of the CNTs within the patch.

JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 589 M3 - Article SP - 57 EP - 65 SN - 09215093 AB - Abstract: Al–Mn alloys with a solid-solution Mn content ranging from 0 to 3.1at% were successfully prepared by high energy mechanical alloying at room temperature of an Al–8at% Mn sample. The solubility level obtained is up to five times the equilibrium solubility limit of Mn in Al (from 0.62at% Mn). In general, the observed microstructures are consistent with being a nanocomposite composed of an Al–Mn solid solution matrix with dispersed Mn particles. For alloys with solid solutions up to 3.1at%, increasing the Mn content correlated with a decrease in the matrix grain size down to a minimum of 12nm. High hardness values of ~4GPa were obtained. The main strengthening mechanism of the Al–Mn alloys is attributed to the grain size reduction. Further attempts to increase the dissolved solute content resulted in the precipitation of the Al6Mn equilibrium intermetallic phase.

One-dimensional beam analysis is conducted using the rotorcraft comprehensive analysis system with variational asymptotical beam sectional analysis calculated two-dimensional cross-sectional properties. Three-dimensional finite element analysis is conducted using a commercial code MSC/Marc. Natural frequencies are calculated at various rotor rotational speeds, and the differences are quantified. There is very good agreement between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses for free-free aluminum beams, even for a very short beam with beam length five times chord (L = 5 x c). The one-dimensional analysis accurately captures the planform variation near the root for an aluminum beam. In general, the differences between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses occur when there is coupling, either generated from geometry (tip sweep) or material (composite), especially for high-frequency modes. Without coupling, the one-dimensional analysis appears to capture free vibration characteristics of various advanced geometry beams and blades reasonably well for at least the six lowest frequency modes when the beam length is greater than 10 times chord.

First, the aeroelastic stability of a typical section representative of a control surface on a hypersonic vehicle is examined. Variability in the uncoupled natural frequencies of the system is modeled using beta probability distributions. Uncertainty in the flutter Mach number is computed using stochastic collocation. Next, the stability of an aerodynamically heated panel representing a component of the skin of a hypersonic vehicle is considered. In this case, uncertainty is due to the location of transition from laminar to turbulent flow and the heat flux prediction. The effect of propagating these uncertainties on vehicle behavior is determined. For both cases, uncertainty is treated using stochastic collocation, which is a new and effective approach for incorporating uncertainty in this class of problems.

The proposed algorithm is designed to attenuate image artifacts observed in coherent change detection images by utilizing noncoherent change detection, a positive threshold operation, and sidelobe minimization. The proposed algorithm is compared with coherent change detection for three moving target scenarios. It is shown that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces imaging artifacts while preserving the moving target signature.

JO - Journal of Engineering Materials & Technology JF - Journal of Engineering Materials & Technology Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 136 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 00944289 AB - The current work focuses on evaluation of the effective elastic properties of cementitious materials through a voxel based finite element analysis (FEA) approach. Voxels are generated for a heterogeneous cementitious material (type-1 cement) consisting of typical volume fractions of various constituent phases from digital microstructures. The micro- structure is modeled as a microscale representative volume element (RVE) in ABAQUS® to generate cubes several tens of microns in dimension and subjected to various prescribed deformation modes to generate the effective elastic tensor of the material. The RVE-calculated elastic properties such as moduli and Poisson's ratio are validated through an asymptotic expansion homogenization (AEH) and compared with rule of mix- tures. Both periodic (PBC) and kinematic boundary conditions (KBC) are investigated to determine if the elastic properties are invariant due to boundary conditions. In addition, the method of "Windowing" was used to assess the randomness of the constituents and to validate how the isotropic elastic properties were determined. The average elastic properties obtained from the displacement based FEA of various locally anisotropic microsize cubes extracted from an RVE of size 100 x 100 x 100 µm showed that the overall RVE response was fully isotropic. The effects of domain size, degree of hydration (DOH), kinematic and periodic boundary conditions, domain sampling techniques, local anisotropy, particle size distribution (PSD), and random microstructure on elastic properties are studied.

JO - Journal of Nanoparticle Research JF - Journal of Nanoparticle Research Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 16 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 13880764 AB - Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are formed in bulk solids from the thermal decomposition of catalytic amounts of Fe(CO) or Co(CO) in the presence of an excess amount of a novolac epoxy carbon precursor during the conversion to a shaped thermoset composition and pyrolysis to 1,000 °C. The as-pyrolyzed carbonaceous solid is composed of either Fe or Co nanoparticles embedded in the nanostructured carbon, which contains bamboo-type carbon nanotubes, MWNTs, and some amorphous carbon. The Fe and Co nanoparticles, formed in situ from thermal decomposition of the corresponding salts, are responsible for the formation of the CNTs. The amorphous carbon is removed by selective combustion leaving a high surface area, porous composition. The pore network facilitates the transport of gaseous molecules such as ammonia to the adsorptive sites at the CNT surface and at entrained Fe or Co nanoparticle sites. During the combustion, the Fe and Co nanoparticles are oxidized to the corresponding nanostructured oxides, which are more receptive to ammonia absorption relative to the reduced metal. The ability to produce nanostructured solid compositions containing CNTs in any shape or form from inexpensive, commercially available carbon precursors is facilitating the development for application such as energy, gas sorption, chemical sensor, membrane, and nanodevices.

JO - European Journal of Applied Physiology JF - European Journal of Applied Physiology Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 114 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 92 SN - 14396319 AB - Introduction: When substantial solute losses accompany body water an isotonic hypovolemia (extracellular dehydration) results. The potential for using blood or urine to assess extracellular dehydration is generally poor, but saliva is not a simple ultra-filtrate of plasma and the autonomic regulation of salivary gland function suggests the possibility that saliva osmolality (Sosm) may afford detection of extracellular dehydration via the influence of volume-mediated factors. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the assessment of extracellular dehydration using Sosm. In addition, two common saliva collection methods and their effects on Sosm were compared. Methods: Blood, urine, and saliva samples were collected in 24 healthy volunteers during paired euhydration and dehydration trials. Furosemide administration and 12 h fluid restriction were used to produce extracellular dehydration. Expectoration and salivette collection methods were compared in a separate group of eight euhydrated volunteers. All comparisons were made using paired t-tests. The diagnostic potential of body fluids was additionally evaluated. Results: Dehydration (3.1 ± 0.5 % loss of body mass) decreased PV (−0.49 ± 0.12 L; −15.12 ± 3.94 % change), but Sosm changes were marginal (<10 mmol/kg) and weakly correlated with changes in absolute or relative PV losses. Overall diagnostic accuracy was poor (AUC = 0.77-0.78) for all body fluids evaluated. Strong agreement was observed between Sosm methods (Expectoration: 61 ± 10 mmol/kg, Salivette: 61 ± 8 mmol/kg, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Extracelluar dehydration was not detectable using plasma, urine, or saliva measures. Salivette and expectoration sampling methods produced similar, consistent results for Sosm, suggesting no methodological influence on Sosm.

To investigate fundamental mechanisms of regimes of laser induced damage to the retina and the morphological changes associated with the damage response. Methods. Varying grades of photothermal, photochemical, and photomechanical retinal laser damage were produced in eyes of eight cynomolgus monkeys. An adaptive optics confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope and spectral domain optical coherence tomographer were combined to simultaneously collect complementary in vivo images of retinal laser damage during and following exposure. Baseline color fundus photography was performed to complement highresolution imaging. Monkeys were perfused with 10% buffered formalin and eyes were enucleated for histological analysis. Results. Laser energies for visible retinal damage in this study were consistent with previously reported damage thresholds. Lesions were identified in OCT images that were not visible in direct ophthalmoscopic examination or fundus photos. Unique diagnostic characteristics, specific to each damage regime, were identified and associated with shape and localization of lesions to specific retinal layers. Previously undocumented retinal healing response to blue continuous wave laser exposure was recorded through a novel experimental methodology. Conclusion. This study revealed increased sensitivity of lesion detection and improved specificity to the laser of origin utilizing high-resolution imaging when compared to traditional ophthalmic imaging techniques in the retina.

While the advantage of using multiple sources of information for establishing the identity has been widely recognized, computational models for multimodal biometrics recognition have only recently received attention. We propose a multimodal sparse representation method, which represents the test data by a sparse linear combination of training data, while constraining the observations from different modalities of the test subject to share their sparse representations. Thus, we simultaneously take into account correlations as well as coupling information among biometric modalities. A multimodal quality measure is also proposed to weigh each modality as it gets fused. Furthermore, we also kernelize the algorithm to handle nonlinearity in data. The optimization problem is solved using an efficient alternative direction method. Various experiments show that the proposed method compares favorably with competing fusion-based methods.

As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one's term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one's term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. This effect was significant throughout a 3-year period. This work adds to our understanding of attrition by highlighting the role of confidence and ambivalence. Implications for strategies to reduce attrition are discussed.

The combination of mercury cadmium telluride detectors and Fabry--Perot filters (FPFs) is highly desirable for hyperspectral detection over a broad wavelength range. The geometries of distributed Bragg reflector (DBR)-based tunable FPFs are modeled to achieve a desired spectral resolution and wavelength range. Additionally, acceptable fabrication tolerances are determined by modeling the spectral performance of the FPFs as a function of DBR surface roughness and membrane curvature. These fabrication nonidealities are then mitigated by developing an optimized DBR process flow yielding high-performance FPF cavities suitable for integration with hyperspectral imagers.

The purposes were not just to save lives, but to benefit the military by returning more patients to duty and reducing the size of the hospital system through fewer infections and shorter hospital stays. The Army examined the utility of the units at the end of the war and retained them for any future conflicts, but opposition also survived. The question was the utility for the Army: was it worth making a substantial investment, and reducing care for other wounded soldiers, for the most grievously wounded, perhaps 1 percent of the total? Devising an effective way to organize forward SHs was a problem in the interwar years and early in World War II (WWII). But from the late 1930s, the Army never reexamined whether it should provide forward surgery, only how to do so, including pushing surgeons even further forward on the battlefield. At the end of WWII, the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) was created to perform the mission, although the MASH was only the latest format.

The HP germination of multiple individual Bacillus subtilis spores in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) was monitored with phase-contrast microscopy. Major conclusions were that (i) >95% of wild-type spores germinated in 40 min in a DAC at -150 MPa and 37°C but individual spores' germination kinetics were heterogeneous; (ii) individual spores' HP germination kinetic parameters were similar to those of nutrient-triggered germination with a variable lag time (Tlag) prior to a period of the rapid release (▵Trelease) of the spores' dipicolinic acid in a 1:1 chelate with Ca2+ (CaDPA); (iii) spore germination at 50 MPa had longer average Tlag values than that at ∼ 150 MPa, but the ▵Trelease values at the two pressures were identical and HPs of < 10 MPa did not induce germination; (iv) B. subtilis spores that lacked the cortex-lytic enzyme CwIJ and that were germinated with an HP of 150 MPa exhibited average ATrelease values ∼ 15-fold longer than those for wild-type spores, but the two types of spores exhibited similar average Tlag values; and (v) the germination of wild-type spores given a ⩾30-s 140-MPa HP pulse followed by a constant pressure of 1 MPa was the same as that of spores exposed to a constant pressure of 140 MPa that was continued for ⩾35 min; (vi) however, after short 150-MPa HP pulses and incubation at 0.1 MPa (ambient pressure), spore germination stopped 5 to 10 min after the HP was released. These results suggest that an HP of ∼ 150 MPa for ⩾30 s is sufficient to fully activate spores' GRs, which remain activated at 1 MPa but can deactivate at ambient pressure.

The Salton Sea Stochastic Simulation Model (S4M) was developed to assist planners and residents of the Salton Sea (SS) transboundary watershed (USA and Mexico) in making sound policy decisions regarding complex water-related issues. In order to develop the S4M with a higher degree of climate forecasting resolution, an in-depth analysis was conducted regarding precipitation and evapotranspiration for the semiarid region of the watershed. Weather station data were compiled for both precipitation and evapotranspiration from 1980 to 2004. Several logistic regression models were developed for determining the relationships among precipitation events, that is, duration and volume, and evapotranspiration levels. These data were then used to develop a stochastic weather generator for S4M. Analyses revealed that the cumulative effects and changes of ±10 percent in SS inflows can have significant effects on sea elevation and salinity. The aforementioned technique maintains the relationships between the historic frequency distributions of both precipitation and evapotranspiration, and not as separate unconnected and constrained variables.

The CoFeN x /C catalysts in this study were obtained by the pyrolysis of hemin and a cobalt porphyrin. In an alkaline electrolyte, a larger electron transfer coefficient (0.63) was obtained in comparison to that in an acidic electrolyte (0.44), signifying a lower free energy barrier for oxygen reduction. The kinetic rate constant (2.69 × 10−2 cm s−1) for catalytic oxygen reduction in alkaline solution at 0.6 V (versus RHE) is almost 4 times larger than that in acidic solution (7.3 × 10−3 cm s−1). A synergetic catalytic mechanism is proposed. The overall reduction is a 4-electron reduction of oxygen. The obtained CoFeN x /C catalyst was further evaluated as a cathode catalyst in single fuel cells with acidic, neutral and alkaline electrolyte membranes. The order of the single cell performances either for power density or for stability is acidic > neutral > alkaline. The different behaviors of the CoFeN x /C catalyst in half cell and single cell are discussed.

JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 83 M3 - Article SP - 36 EP - 48 SN - 03783839 AB - Abstract: Non-hydrostatic models such as Surface WAves till SHore (SWASH) resolve many of the relevant physics in coastal wave propagation such as dispersion, shoaling, refraction, dissipation and nonlinearity. However, for efficiency, they assume a single-valued surface and therefore do not resolve some aspects of breaking waves such as wave overturning, turbulence generation, and air entrainment. To study the ability of such models to represent nonlinear wave dynamics and statistics in a dissipative surf zone, we compare simulations with SWASH to flume observations of random, unidirectional waves, incident on a 1:30 planar beach. The experimental data includes a wide variation in the incident wave fields, so that model performance can be studied over a large range of wave conditions. Our results show that, without specific calibration, the model accurately predicts second-order bulk parameters such as wave height and period, the details of the spectral evolution, and higher-order statistics, such as skewness and asymmetry of the waves. Monte Carlo simulations show that the model can capture the principal features of the wave probability density function in the surf zone, and that the spectral distribution of dissipation in SWASH is proportional to the frequency squared, which is consistent with observations reported by earlier studies. These results show that relatively efficient non-hydrostatic models such as SWASH can be successfully used to parametrize surf zone wave processes.

According to the study, dilution is a mutation that results from a quantitative reduction of melanin pigments and yields pale plumage, which can be quite different in color from the norm. The author states that pleistocene glacial advance has been proposed as an important isolating mechanism is speciation within Picoides.

Results indicate that carrier lifetime is dominated by Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, with a lifetime of 30 ns at 77 K. Below 40 K, we observe a freeze-out of carriers and increased contributions from radiative recombination. High-injection measurements yield a radiative recombination coefficient of 1.8×10-10 cm3/s and an upper limit of the Auger recombination coefficient of 10-28 cm6/s at 60 K. An acceptor level of ∼20 meV above the valence band is also determined.

The detectors show a spectral response up to 16.5 μm, operating up to a temperature of 330 K where the lh-hh response is superimposed on the free-carrier response. Two characteristic peaks observed between 5–7 μm are in good agreement with corresponding energy separations of the lh and hh bands and thus originated from lh-hh transitions. Results will be useful for designing multi-spectral detection which could be realized on a single p-GaAs structure.

Electron Devices 43, 380 (1996)] a short channel high electron mobility transistor is used for the detection of electromagnetic radiation in the low terahertz range. The quality of the plasma resonance utilized in such device is strongly temperature dependent. Starting with the Boltzmann equation, we derived the viscous hydrodynamic model with temperature dependent transport coefficients and obtained the temperature dependence of the quality factor of the resonance. We find that in high mobility channels the quality of the resonance is strongly limited by the viscosity of the electron fluid.

The thermally stressed devices showed a lesser degradation than those electrically stressed, indicating that elevated temperature alone does not cause degradation. Despite a decay to less than half of the initial power under current injection, time-resolved photoluminescence of the active region exhibits little change, while capacitance-voltage measurements imply that the reduced efficiency and power decay originate from the generation of point defects near the p-side of the p-n junction.

Both processes can address scientific validity, fair participant selection, favorable risk-benefit ratio, respect for participants, and independent review. In an attempt to guide staff as to whether their project needs IRB review or not, a performance improvement/research advisory panel (PIRAP) was formed to serve two military organizations, in this article, performance improvement and quality improvement is differentiated from research as much as possible, the composition and function of PIRAP is described, and guidelines for publishing findings that support the nature of the project are provided.

Data revealed significant dose-dependent changes in several pulmonary parameters. Animals exposed to a DDVP concentration of 35 mg/m3 did not show any significant changes in frequency, tidal volume, or minute ventilation. However, animals exposed to 55 mg/m3 DDVP showed significantly decreased respiratory frequency and significantly increased tidal volume with no significant changes in minute ventilation. Similarly, animals exposed to 75 mg/m3 DDVP showed significantly decreased respiratory frequency along with significantly increased tidal volume. The decreased respiratory frequency was large enough in the high exposure group to offset the increased tidal volume. This effect resulted in significantly decreased minute ventilation by the end of exposure, which remained attenuated 10 min after exposure. An analysis of whole-blood cholinesterase activity revealed significantly decreased activity for both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butylcholinesterase (BChE). Peak inhibition occurred for both enzymes at the end of exposure for all three concentrations and rapidly recovered within several minutes of exposure. Analysis of blood samples using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) revealed that minute ventilation may only play a minimal role in the dosimetry of inhaled DDVP vapor.

These problems arise because the Ta layer deforms nonuniformly as it is reduced in thickness. The origin of the problem resides in the microstructure of the Ta and the co-deformation mechanics of relatively strong body centered cubic Ta with surrounding weaker and more ductile face centered cubic Cu. In an attempt to remedy this problem, 25 mm square bars of Ta were processed by multi-axis severe plastic deformation (SPD) via equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE), then rolled to sheet and recrystallized. The SPD processing was done to refine the microstructure and reduce nonuniformities in grain size and texture. Measurements of the Cu-Ta interface roughness in experimental Cu-Ta composite wires were made and compared with the interface roughness seen in commercial Ta diffusion barrier layers. Results show that Ta sheet made from SPD processed bulk Ta co-deforms well with Cu and leads to less interface roughening than is developed in commercial Ta sheet material fabricated into superconductor wire.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2008/03// VL - 136 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 833 EP - 864 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - Southern Louisiana is characterized by low-lying topography and an extensive network of sounds, bays, marshes, lakes, rivers, and inlets that permit widespread inundation during hurricanes. A basin- to channel-scale implementation of the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) unstructured grid hydrodynamic model has been developed that accurately simulates hurricane storm surge, tides, and river flow in this complex region. This is accomplished by defining a domain and computational resolution appropriate for the relevant processes, specifying realistic boundary conditions, and implementing accurate, robust, and highly parallel unstructured grid numerical algorithms. The model domain incorporates the western North Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea so that interactions between basins and the shelf are explicitly modeled and the boundary condition specification of tidal and hurricane processes can be readily defined at the deep water open boundary. The unstructured grid enables highly refined resolution of the complex overland region for modeling localized scales of flow while minimizing computational cost. Kinematic data assimilative or validated dynamic-modeled wind fields provide the hurricane wind and pressure field forcing. Wind fields are modified to incorporate directional boundary layer changes due to overland increases in surface roughness, reduction in effective land roughness due to inundation, and sheltering due to forested canopies. Validation of the model is achieved through hindcasts of Hurricanes Betsy and Andrew. A model skill assessment indicates that the computed peak storm surge height has a mean absolute error of 0.30 m.

Time domain THz spectroscopy has been employed to measure the pump wavelength and background carrier concentration dependence of THz emission from InN. There is no discernable difference between the In- and N-face InN samples, as expected for the improved crystalline quality and concomitant low background electron density and high mobility for both polarities. While there is only a weak dependence of THz signal on pump wavelength from 800 nm to 1500 nm, there is a strong dependence on background electron density. Modeling shows that the dominant mechanism for THz generation in bulk InN is the current associated with the diffusion of the photo-generated electrons at elevated electron temperature (photo-Dember effect) and the redistribution of the background electrons under drift, with larger screening from the higher mobility electrons as compared to holes. Compensation or p-type doping in conjunction with manipulation of the large internal electric fields in InN/InGaN nanostructures should lead to significant improvements in THz emitters.

The absorption spectrum of the entire protein in water was studied numerically in the terahertz range (0.1 – 2 THz). In our work, the initial X-ray molecular structure of thioredoxin was optimized using the molecular dynamical (MD) simulations at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effect of a liquid content of a bacterial cell was taken into account explicitly via the simulation of water molecules using the TIP3P water model. Using atomic trajectories from the room-temperature MD simulations, thioredoxin's THz vibrational spectrum and the absorption coefficient were calculated in a quasi harmonic approximation. For our terahertz transmission measurements, we used solutions of thioredoxin in distilled water obtained from Sigma. The experimental and simulated signatures are correlated and dominant peaks are close in frequencies. The results of this study demonstrate that terahertz spectroscopy is a promising tool in generating spectral data for cellular components of bio agents such as bacterial cells and spores.

The writers have been involved in the development of various constitutive models that are successful in modeling blast responses, but can also be computationally intensive—thus excluding their use for many large-scale applications. Recent efforts at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center have focused on developing procedures for performing these types of analyses in a production setting utilizing high performance computing. These models have been implemented into a parallel finite-element code, ParaAble, developed by the writers, and a new feature was added to the METIS partitioning software to easily apply weighting for improved load balancing in multiple material problems.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 149 EP - 156 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - The nerve agent O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate, also known as soman or by its military designation GD, is a highly toxic organophosphorous compound that exerts its effects through inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In the present study, a fluoride ion based regeneration assay was developed to quantify the level of soman present in the blood of rats following a low-level whole-body inhalation exposure. It was hypothesized that the amount of regenerated nerve agent in the blood would be dose dependent in rats subjected to a whole-body inhalation exposure to a low-level dose of soman vapor, and that the fluoride ion-based regeneration method would be more sensitive for the detection of a low-level exposure to soman vapor than the measurement of whole blood AChE activity. Regenerated soman was dose-dependently detected in both the red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma of exposed rats at all concentrations tested (0.033-0.280 mg/m3 for a 240-min exposure). Significant inhibition of whole blood AChE activity did not occur below a concentration of 0.101 mg/m3, and was only depressed by approximately 10-25% at concentrations ranging from 0.101 mg/m3 to 0.280 mg/m3. This study is the first to utilize a fluoride ion-based regeneration assay to demonstrate the dose-dependent increases in soman in the blood following whole-body inhalation exposure to low levels of vapor. Additionally, the results of the present study demonstrate that the fluoride ion based regeneration assay was approximately threefold more sensitive than the measurement of AChE activity in the blood for the detection of exposure to soman, and also that miosis is a more sensitive marker of soman exposure than inhibition of AChE activity.

Clinicians prescribe non-weight bearing exercise initially and progress patients to weight bearing exercise once they can perform a straight leg raise (SLR). Objective: Compare VM activation during a SLR and weight bearing exercises. Design: One-way repeated measures design. Setting: University Laboratory. Subjects: Fifteen healthy subjects. Intervention: One SLR exercise and 6 weight-bearing knee extension exercises. Main Outcome Measures: Electromyographic amplitudes for the VM expressed as a percent maximum voluntary isometric contraction. Results: The SLR had greater activation than the single leg stance and bilateral squat exercises. The step-up and unilateral leg press exercises had the greatest activation. Conclusions: SLR performance can be an important indicator for exercise progression. These results provide foundational knowledge to assist clinicians with exercise prescription.

We describe a quantitative algorithmic method (the Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm) that uses Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center information to determine which naturally occurring pathogens pose the most substantial threat to U.S. deployed forces in the absence of specific mitigating countermeasures. The Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm scores the relative importance of various diseases by taking into account both their severity and the likelihood of infection on a country-by-country basis. In such an analysis, the top three endemic disease threats to U.S. deployed threes are malaria, bacteria-caused diarrhea, and dengue fever.

These efforts included core field preventive medicine but quickly extended into other efforts. In collaboration with the host nation and other organizations, the preventive medicine team performed additional support for operations outside the U.S. compound, including water and sanitation assessments of camps for internally displaced persons, communicable disease investigation and control, and vaccination programs. Preventive medicine personnel were vital to health diplomacy efforts in this operation, particularly because of security concerns that prevented other U.S. medical assets from leaving the compound. Comparisons with the U.S. responses during other humanitarian operations are made. Preventive medicine missions in health diplomacy will continue to increase. Training and collaborative relationships with other government agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, and with nongovernmental organizations should continue to be developed.

However, there remain fundamental issues on how to design experiments to ensure that the resulting data enables robust statistical analysis. Interwoven loop design has several advantages over other designs. However it suffers in the complexity of design. We have implemented an online web application which allows users to find optimal loop designs for two-color microarray experiments. Given a number of conditions (such as treatments or time points) and replicates, the application will find the best possible design of the experiment and output experimental parameters.

However for large datasets such as ESTs, manual extraction of the information from the batch BLAST output is needed. This can be time consuming, insufficient, and inaccurate. Therefore implementation of a parser application would be extremely useful in extracting information from BLAST outputs. Results: We have developed a java application, Batch Blast Extractor, with a user friendly graphical interface to extract information from BLAST output. The application generates a tab delimited text file that can be easily imported into any statistical package such as Excel or SPSS for further analysis. For each BLAST hit, the program obtains and saves the essential features from the BLAST output file that would allow further analysis. The program was written in Java and therefore is OS independent. It works on both Windows and Linux OS with java 1.4 and higher.

To develop models, 32 physically trained men (mean ± SD: 28.0 ± 4.7 years, 82.1 ± 11.3 kg, 176.3 ± 7.5 cm) underwent ( 1 ) anthropometric measures: height and body mass; (2) fitness tests: push-ups, sit-ups, 3.2-km run, vertical, jump, horizontal jump; (3) simulated battlefield physical performance in fighting load: five 30-m sprints prone to prone, 400-m run, obstacle course, and casualty recovery. Although greater body mass was positively associated with better casualty recovery performance, it showed trends toward poorer performance on all the other fitness and military performance tests. Regression equations well predicted the simulated battlefield performance from the anthropometric measures and physical fitness tests (r = 0.77-0.82). The vertical jump entered all four prediction equations and the horizontal jump entered one of them. The equations, using input from easy to administer tests, effectively predict simulated battlefield physical performance.

As part of a NATO Research Panel (Human Factors and Medicine (HFM)-081/Research and Technology Organization Task Group (RTG), 16 nations participated in a needs assessment survey of military leaders who had returned from an operation within the previous 2 years. Findings from 172 leaders emphasized the lack of training specifically geared for leaders to address operational stress issues for trait members and their families and the need for integrated mental health support across the deployment cycle. In general, most leaders regarded stress-related mental health problems as normal and were supportive of help-seeking. The information obtained here was used to develop a Human Factors and Medicine -081/RTG Leader's Guide on operational stress.

Analysis of the transcriptome showed that expression of 45% of the genome was significantly affected by oxidative stress. The gene expression patterns suggested that exposure to oxidative stress induced an acute response to rapidly minimize the immediate effects of reactive oxygen species, then upon extended exposure a broad metabolic response was induced. This metabolic response induced genes encoding enzymes that can supply reducing power for detoxification and restore energy-generating capacity. An integral aspect of the metabolic response was downregulation of genes related to translation and biosynthesis which correlated with decreased growth and entry into a stationary phase-like growth state. Examination of oxyR mutants showed that they were impaired for the acute response and they induced the expanded metabolic response with only minimal exposure to stress. The oxyR mutants were more sensitive to oxidants in vitro and in vivo they were attenuated in an intra-abdominal abscess infection model. Aerotolerance and resistance to oxidative stress are physiological adaptations of B. fragilis to its environment that enhance survival in extra-intestinal sites and promote opportunistic infections.

This study compares sampling system performance for varions particle types and sizes. Methods and Results: Performances of five concentrators were characterized with five nonviable and viable laboratory aerosols, although not every concentrator was tested with all aerosol types. For particle sizes less than c. 6 μm aerodynamic diameter, similar efficiencies are obtained for all test particles; however, for larger sizes there is a significant difference between liquid and dry particles. Conclusions: Aluminium oxide particles provide results over a broad range of sizes with a single test, but the method is less reproducible than other methods. A combination of monodisperse polystyrene spheres and oleic acid droplets provides an accurate representation of the system performance, but ultimately biological particle tests are needed. Significance and Impact of the Study: Devices are being developed for concentrating bioaerosol particles in the size range of 1–10 μm aerodynamic diameter and this study provides insight into data quality for different test methodologies. Also, the results show some current concentrators perform quite poorly.

First, the model is tested for numerical limitations on the higher order bottom slope and curvature terms using idealized cases of a simple depth transition and a symmetric trapezoidal trench, with comparisons of the MMSE to both the traditional mild slope equation (MSE) solution and a shallow water analytic solution. It is demonstrated that the model gives accurate solutions on slopes as steep as 1:1, and that the solutions from all three models agree in the shallow water region. However, for waves in intermediate depths, predicted wave reflection from nearshore depressions is shown to differ significantly between the MMSE and MSE models. Next, geometrical data from a wide range of existing and proposed borrow pits and a submarine canyon are gathered and analyzed for whether wave reflection is an important process near realistic nearshore depressions. The geometric data show that realistic nearshore depressions lie within the tested range of the MMSE model and that borrow pits are generally not in shallow water, which means it is important to use a MMSE-type model to calculate reflection from these features. In addition, storm conditions on average lead to a 50% increase in reflection coefficient in comparison to the mean wave conditions, due to the increase in wave period. Finally, the results also indicate borrow pit design criteria that can be used to ensure minimal reflection.

To enhance the practical applicability of such models, a method is developed to accommodate the effects of rubble mound structures that are frequently found along the sides of harbor entrance channels. The results of this method are found to match those of other mathematical models under appropriate conditions but also to deviate from those of parabolic approximations in some cases as a consequence of increased angular scattering induced by dissipation. Comparison with hydraulic model data also shows that this approach is useful for designing pocket wave absorbers that are used to attenuate wave heights in entrance channels.

JO - BMC Infectious Diseases JF - BMC Infectious Diseases Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14712334 AB - Background: A novel Ehrlichia, closely related to Ehrlichia ruminantium, was recently discovered from Panola Mountain State Park, GA, USA. We conducted a study to determine if this agent was recently introduced into the United States. Methods: We developed a sensitive PCR assay based on the conserved gltA (citrate synthase) gene and tested DNA samples extracted from 1964 field-collected and 1835 human-biting Amblyomma americanum from 23 eastern states of the USA. Results: The novel agent was detected in 36 ticks collected from 10 states between 1998 and 2006. Infected ticks were collected both from vegetation (n = 14, 0.7%) and from humans (n = 22, 1.2%). Fragments of the conserved gltA gene and the variable map1 gene were sequenced from positive samples. Two distinct clades, with 10.5% nucleic acid divergence over the 730 bp map1 sequence, were identified. Conclusion: These data suggest that the Panola Mountain Ehrlichia was not recently introduced to the United States; this agent has an extensive distribution throughout the range of its tick vector, has been present in some locations for several years, and displays genetic variability. Furthermore, people in several states were exposed to this agent through the bite of infected ticks, underscoring the potential public health risk of this emerging ehrlichiosis.

In order to understand the joint effects of TNT and RDX on earthworms, an important ecological and bioindicator species at the molecular level, we sampled worms (Eisenia fetida) exposed singly or jointly to TNT (50 mg/ kg soil) and RDX (30 mg/kg soil) for 28 days and profiled gene expression in an interwoven loop designed microarray experiment using a 4k-cDNA array. Lethality, growth and reproductive endpoints were measured. Results: Sublethal doses of TNT and RDX had no significant effects on the survival and growth of earthworms, but significantly reduced cocoon and juvenile counts. The mixture exhibited more pronounced reproductive toxicity than each single compound, suggesting an additive interaction between the two compounds. In comparison with the controls, we identified 321 differentially expressed transcripts in TNT treated worms, 32 in RDX treated worms, and only 6 in mixture treated worms. Of the 329 unique differentially expressed transcripts, 294 were affected only by TNT, 24 were common to both TNT and RDX treatments, and 3 were common to all treatments. The reduced effects on gene expression in the mixture exposure suggest that RDX might interact in an antagonistic manner with TNT at the gene expression level. The disagreement between gene expression and reproduction results may be attributed to sampling time, absence of known reproduction-related genes, and lack of functional information for many differentially expressed transcripts. A gene potentially related to reproduction (echinonectin) was significantly depressed in TNT or RDX exposed worms and may be linked to reduced fecundity. Conclusions: Sublethal doses of TNT and RDX affected many biological pathways from innate immune response to oogenesis, leading to reduced reproduction without affecting survival and growth. A complex interaction between mixtures of RDX and TNT was observed at the gene expression level that requires further study of the dynamics of gene expression and reproductive activities in E. fetida. These efforts will be essential to gain an understanding of the additive reproductive toxicity between RDX and TNT.

This new functional contains a non-empirical treatment of dispersion interactions and exhibits the appropriate behavior in the high-density limit. We present results for three model noncovalently bonded systems: the methane-benzene complex, a dimethylnitramine dimer, and a dimer of triaminotrinitrobenzene in its crystalline symmetry. Predicted interaction energies are greatly improved with this new approach as compared to conventional density functionals. Intermolecular distances are also improved, though the degree of improvement varies with the character of the intermolecular interactions, with dispersion dominated systems showing the greatest improvement.

High-speed digital photography was used to obtain transient images of the deformation history, and velocity interferometry was used to determine the free surface velocity of the impacted sample. These diagnostics provided qualitative and quantitative information about the transient deformation and failure response. The recovered, impacted specimens were analyzed using microscopy and AUTODYN modeling was used to elucidate the deformation and failure mechanisms of the bulk metallic glass and the effects of the altered stress state caused by the confinement sleeve. In this paper, the dynamic compression results and corresponding analysis of the failure mechanisms will be presented.

Over the past decade, there have been a number of studies which have examined the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) of this material resulting in a wide range of values from 3.1 to 6.0 GPa. The determination of the HEL is complicated by many factors including ramp loading due to the convex downward curvature of the Hugoniot at low pressures. Results of transmitted wave profile experiments up to 20 GPa are presented and analyzed to determine the loading and release characteristics of SLG near the HEL. Results indicate a response that is more complex than the elastic—plastic response typical of many materials, possibly explaining the wide range in initially reported HEL values.

The bulk compressibility of soda-lime glass was measured by the mixture method. It has been found that, under uniaxial compression, the Poisson's ratio increases up to the value close to 0.5. The strong dependence of the Poisson's ratio on deviatoric stress results in increase of average unloading impedance of cracked glass that explains small value of the recompression signal. The failure wave model includes equations of state of intact and comminuted glass, a criterion of compressive fracture, and an equation that relates damage accumulation rate to the damage parameter gradient. Computer simulations with this model reproduce well all details of observed behavior of the glass.

Controlled confinement pressure on the specimen in the range of 200 MPa to 300 MPa was provided by installing a shrink-fit metal sleeve on the lateral surface of the sample disk. The shock compression pulses of approximately triangular profile were created using thin aluminum impactors and PMMA base plates. The peak shock stresses in the range of 5.5 GPa to 8.5 GPa were sufficient to initiate the failure waves, whereas following unloading stopped the cracking. Results of measurements of the free surface velocity histories show that pre-stressing results in earlier braking of the failure wave. Thus, the compressive transversal stress increases the failure threshold that is in agreement with existing criteria of compressive fracture.

Net lactate migration rate on the order of 5 cm2/V day is measured in sand from cathode towards the anode. The ionic injection in sand was dependent on current density; however, the increase in electric current did not result in an equivalent increase in lactate transport due to development of an appreciable electroosmotic (EO) flow from the anode to the cathode. While high EO flow (ke on the order 10-6 to 10-5 cm2/V s) occurred in clay samples, ion migration from cathode to anode is the dominant transport process under relatively high current density (5.3 A/m2 in this study) and can be used as an effective transport mechanism for negatively charged additives. An effective lactate reactive transport rate of more than 3 cm/d (under 1 V/cm) can be achieved in clays, which is at least two orders of magnitude greater than hydraulic injection under unit hydraulic gradient. Even though lactate concentrations in the clay were below 10% of the boundary value due to biological transformation, these concentrations (few 100 s mg/L) are high enough to maintain microbial activities capable of degrading organic contaminants. At the same time, control experiments showed that, while lactate adsorption was negligible, hydraulic injection under a unit gradient was ineffective because of the low hydraulic conductivity of clay and the biodegradation of lactate.

Purpose: To determine the effect of multiple hours of exercise-heat stress on sweat mineral concentrations. Methods: Seven heatacclimated subjects (6 males, 1 female) completed 5x 60 min of treadmill exercise (1.56 m/s, 2% grade) with 20 min rest between exercise periods in 2 weather conditions (27 °C, 40% relative humidity, 1 m/s and 35 °C, 30%, 1 m/s). Sweat was collected from a sweat-collection pouch attached to the upper back during exercise bouts 1, 3, and 5. Mineral elements were determined by using inductively coupled plasma-emission spectrography. Results: At 27 °C, sweat sodium (863 [563] µg/mL; mean [SD]), potassium (222 [48] µg/mL), calcium (16 [7]) µg/mL), magnesium (1265 [566] ng/mL), and copper (80 [56] ng/mL) remained similar to baseline over 7 h of exercise-heat stress, whereas sweat zinc declined 42-45% after the initial hour of exercise-heat stress (Ex1 = 655 [362], Ex3 = 382 [168], Ex5 = 355 [288] µg/mL, P < 0.05). Similar outcomes were observed for sweat zinc at 35 °C when sweat rates were higher. Sweat rate had no effect on sweat trace-element composition. Conclusions: Sweat sodium, potassium, and calcium losses during multiple hours of sustained sweating can be predicted from initial sweat composition. Estimates of sweat zinc losses, however, will be overestimated if sweat zinc conservation is not accounted for in sweat zinc-loss estimates.

The surface relief templates were photoinscribed on the azopolymer films in one-step with two laser beams. Thin layers of gold were over-coated on the polymer templates by thermal evaporation. Gold lines of a few hundred nanometer width were successfully fabricated by pyrolyzing the azobenzene polymer. Sub-micron gold dots were also created. The resulting gold structures exhibited the same periodicity as the polymer templates.

Suspensions of an azobenzene polymer (PDO3) and TiO2 were used to spin coat thin films on glass slide substrates. By interfering coherent light from an Argon laser on the surface of the PDO3-TiO2 composite films, SRGs were fabricated. Atomic force microscopic images of the SRGs show TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed throughout the sample, and in particular, at the peaks of the SRG after oxygen plasma treatment. The lateral forces acting on the azobenzene polymer during the SRG fabrication drag the TiO2 nanoparticles. These results indicated that it is feasible to create TiO2 nanoparticle gratings with the composites.

We find that both electron and hole have the same mobility (about 3.8∼3.9×10-4 cm2/Vs) at an applied field of 120 kV/cm. It is demonstrated in this paper that the electron-hole recombination process may prevent the electron transport in the material due to the fact that the carrier recombination time is much shorter than the transit time.

Nonlinear (kernel) versions of these spectral matched (subspace) detectors are also discussed and their performance is compared with the linear versions. These kernel-based detectors exploit the nonlinear correlations between the spectral bands that are ignored by the conventional detectors. Several well-known matched detectors, such as matched subspace detector, orthogonal subspace detector, spectral matched filter and adaptive subspace detector (adaptive cosine estimator) are extended to their corresponding kernel versions by using the idea of kernel-based learning theory. In kernel-based detection algorithms the data is implicitly mapped into a high dimensional kernel feature space by a nonlinear mapping which is associated with a kernel function. The detection algorithm is then derived in the feature space which is kernelized in terms of the kernel functions in order to avoid explicit computation in the high dimensional feature space. Experimental results based on simulated toy-examples and real hyperspectral imagery shows that the kernel versions of these detectors outperform the conventional linear detectors.

Each of these AOTFs is fabricated with a single transducer to operate over only one octave in wavelength. Recently, we have developed two separate tellurium dioxide (TeO2) noncollinear AOTF cells that operate over two octave range. Each cell has an aperture of 1.5 × 1.5 cm2 with a field-of-view of 4.2°, and two thin-plate lithium niobate transducers are bonded on it. The tuning range of the first cell is 0.43–2.1 μm, and 0.69–4.0 μm for the second cell. We have used each of these cells to carry out spectral imaging experiments with CCD, InGaAs, and InSb cameras to cover the spectral region from the visible to the midwave infrared. We image the two orthogonally polarized diffracted beams to get spectropolarimetric information from the scene, as well as a broadband image by using one of the undiffracted beams. In this paper, we discuss the two AOTF cells, the imaging experiments, and present the results obtained.

Serum specimens were tested for HAV antibody by a commercial enzyme immunoassay method. Anti-HAV was detected in 14.0%, 17.5%, and 15.3% of medical cadets, nursing students, and the total cohort, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in seroprevalence between medical cadets and nursing students. Increasing prevalence of HAV correlated with increasing age. Significantly higher seroprevalence was detected in students from provinces outside of Bangkok compared to those who were from Bangkok (18.7% vs. 9.8%). The highest HAV seroprevalence was observed in subjects from the northeastern region of Thailand, suggesting that this region may be associated with greater risk for infection and should be the focus of preventive health strategies.

Respondents completed 658,443 surveys during 17 fiscal quarters, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2000. The final data set contained 309,261 surveys, with no missing data. Principal component factor analysis was used for data reduction and hierarchical multiple linear regression to assess the predictive effects of the dependent variables on the two independent variables: (1) overall satisfaction with today's visit and (2) overall satisfaction with the clinic. On a 7-point, bipolar adjective rating scale, patients' mean score was 6.53 regarding satisfaction with visit, suggesting that patients are highly satisfied. Patients' beliefs about care received and environment of care were the most important satisfaction attributes. These findings are useful in educating providers about the relationship of consumer satisfaction with the interpersonal experience.

A strong nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) dominated the flow in the boundary layer over the measurement domain from midnight to the morning hours. Lidar scans through the LLJ taken after sunrise indicate that the LLJ elevation shows a gradual increase of 25–100 m over the urban area relative to that over the upstream suburban area. The mean wind speed beneath the jet over the urban area is about 10%–15% slower than that over the suburban area. Sonic anemometer observations combined with Doppler lidar observations in the urban and suburban areas are also analyzed to investigate the boundary layer turbulence production in the LLJ-dominated atmospheric boundary layer. The turbulence kinetic energy was higher over the urban domain mainly because of the shear production of building surfaces and building wakes. Direct transport of turbulent momentum flux from the LLJ to the urban street level was very small because of the relatively high elevation of the jet. However, since the LLJ dominated the mean wind in the boundary layer, the turbulence kinetic energy in the urban domain is correlated directly with the LLJ maximum speed and inversely with its height. The results indicate that the jet Richardson number is a reasonably good indicator for turbulent kinetic energy over the urban domain in the LLJ-dominated atmospheric boundary layer.

Heterogeneous surface characteristics result in significant differences in upwind fetch and, therefore, statistically significant differences in measured values, even for small changes in wind direction. Taller upwind obstructions yield larger measured values of drag coefficient and turbulence intensity than do shorter upwind obstructions regardless of whether the obstruction is a building or a tree. The fraction of turbulent kinetic energy going into streamwise, cross-stream, and vertical variances differs depending on the upwind fetch, and reduced cross-stream values may indicate locations of persistent wind stream convergence. In addition, a quadrant analysis of burst/sweep behavior near the surface is examined as a function of wind direction in urban and suburban environments.

These four different approaches were evaluated against structured clinical interviews in studies with U.S. soldiers preparing to deploy and returning from combat operations in Iraq. Three samples (N = 337, N = 574, and N = 348) were screened to assess the effectiveness of a short global measure of distress, a single self-referral item, symptom-specific scales selected for the target population, and a composite instrument that included a combination of clinical domains. A composite screen with measures of posttraumatic stress, depression, and alcohol problems, along with a single self-referral item, performed most effectively.

Yet, unlimited resources are seldom, if ever, available to fulfill all of these competing requirements in private or public construction. The Georgia Institute of Technology designed a decision matrix to allow owners and planners to balance these competing requirements on a project-by-project basis and to document the rationale.

This work studies the applicability of a multizone airflow and contaminant transport model (CONTAM 2.1) in the simulation of indoor dispersion of particles under human activity disturbance. An iterative method is suggested to complement CONTAM 2.1, by tracking the transient particle concentration on floor surface due to dynamic deposition and resuspension process. A three-zone building with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is used as the simulation case to test the convergence and accuracy of this algorithm under different particle-release scenarios. The algorithm shows a very fast convergence speed in the simulation. Comparisons of calculation results between the multizone model and the analytical model show good agreement and verify the accuracy of the multizone model simulation. The airborne particle concentration profiles and human breathing dose are also analyzed for the three-zone building model.

SN - 00068314 AB - Wind and tracer data from the Oklahoma City Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) and the Manhattan Madison Square Garden 2005 (MSG05) urban field experiments are being analyzed to aid in understanding air flow and dispersion near street-level in built-up downtown areas. The mean winds are separately calculated for groups of anemometers having similar exposures such as “near street level” and “on building top”. Several general results are found, such as the scalar wind speed at street level is about 1/3 of that at building top. Turbulent standard deviations of wind speed components and temperature, and vertical fluxes of momentum and sensible heat, are calculated from sonic anemometers near street level at 20 locations in JU2003 and five locations in MSG05, and from two rooftop locations in MSG05. The turbulence observations are consistent with observations in the literature at other cities, although the JU2003 and MSG05 data are unique in that many data are available near street level. For example, it is found that the local (i.e., at the measuring height) $$\sigma_{w}/u_{\ast}$$ averages about 1.5 and the local $$u_{\ast}/u$$ averages about 0.25 in the two cities, where $$\sigma_{w}$$ is the standard deviation of vertical velocity fluctuations, $$u_{\ast}$$ is the friction velocity, and u is the wind speed. The ratio of temperature fluctuations to temperature scale, $$\sigma_{T}/T_{\ast}$$ , averages about −3 in both cities, consistent with similarity theory for slightly unstable conditions, where $$\sigma_{T}$$ is the standard deviation of temperature fluctuations, and $$T_{\ast}$$ is the temperature scale. The calculated Obukhov length, L, is also consistent with slightly unstable conditions near street level, even at night during JU2003. The SF6 tracer concentration observations from JU2003 are analyzed. Values of $$uC_{max}/Q$$ for the continuous releases are calculated for each release and arc distance, where $$C_{max}$$ is the 30-min average arc maximum concentration, Q is the continuous source emission rate, and u is the spatial-averaged wind speed in the downtown area. The basic characteristics of the JU2003 plot of averaged $$uC_{max}/Q$$ agree reasonably well with similar plots for other urban experiments in Salt Lake City and London (i.e., at $$x < 1000 m, C_{max}/Q = Ax^{-2})$$ . A is found to be about 3 during the day and about 10 during the night.

JO - Journal of Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2007/12// VL - 133 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1106 EP - 1116 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339372 AB - Devils Lake in North Dakota is a terminal, multibasin, saline lake with an overall surface area that is currently approximately 44,520 ha(110,000 acres). Lake elevation has increased by more than 7 m within 10 years, and vast areas of prairie and cropland have been flooded. The lake is rich in sulfate, and water column sulfate concentrations are relatively uniform within each of the five major basins, but increase from 3.1 mM(300 mg/L) in West Bay to 31 mM(3,000 mg/L) in East Devils Lake. Sediment cores were collected from three of the basins at different water depths, and used in laboratory studies to evaluate the spatial distribution of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activity in the lake sediments. The high sulfate concentrations within the experimental sediment cores suggest that the activity of SRB is limited by the availability of suitable electron donors rather than by the availability of sulfate and that SRB activity can be defined by a zero-order volumetric rate constant (K0). Experimentally determined K0 values ranged from 11 to 88 mmolSO42-m-3 day-1. The water depths from which sediment cores were collected in Devils Lake are related to the elapsed time since inundation by the rising lake level. It was found that time since inundation influences the observed K0 value. Mean K0 values for cores from an average depth of 4.8 m (submergence time of about 5 years), and 9.4 m (submergence time of about 28 years) were 62 and 17 mmolSO42-m-3 day-1, respectively. The significant difference (two-tailed t-test, p<0.05) suggests that SRB activities in the Devils Lake sediments change with submergence times. A uniform sulfate reduction rate applied to all Devils Lake sediments is therefore only a crude approximation of reality.

The selected matrices are examined using two categories of opening-to-traffic times (6 and 8 h). Type III portland cement and three different cement factors with and without an accelerating admixture were used. The trial mixtures are examined for plastic properties (slump, air content, bleeding, setting times, and adiabatic temperature), bulk characteristics (demolded unit weight and compressive strength), and resistance to abrasion. Depth of wear and rate of deterioration as functions of matrix proportions, opening-time categories, and testing age (up to 20 min or 0.12 in., whichever is reached first) are determined. The influence of other parameters such as cement factor, curing age, and accelerating admixture on resistance to wear of the selected matrices are discussed. Other properties, namely rate of abrasion, relative gain of abrasion, coefficient of variation, and abrasion index, are examined. Finally, the relationship between the abrasion resistance (depth of wear) and bulk characteristic (compressive strength) at both opening and maturity ages are investigated. The findings of this investigation shall benefit highway agencies and municipalities by providing abrasion resistance data on a wide range of matrix constituents and proportions that may be used for fast-track concrete construction.

We reviewed publications on AARD in non-U.S, military, immunocompetent, young adults in group-living settings. Since adenovirus disease can be severe in immunocompromised and pediatric patients, we also considered AARD in health care workers. We evaluated 83 publications, published between 1950 and 2005, concerning 22 countries. Most described outbreaks in foreign military recruits and were published before 1970. More recent reports documented outbreaks in student dormitories and medical facilities. The 83 reports did not provide evidence for AARD being a serious, persistent, contemporary concern in the populations studied, nor did they identify strong interest in adenovirus vaccines. Currently availability, sensitive, molecular diagnostic tests may better define the importance of AARD in populations outside the U.S. military.

The entire population at the U.S. Army Field Artillery Training Center, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, participated in the 13-week prospective cohort study between January 18, 2005 and April 18, 2005. Two training battalions were randomly assigned to the control group, one to the primary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen, education, reinforcement) and one to the secondary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen). When compared to the control group, intervention groups experienced 40% less respiratory illness (p < 0.001), 48% less gastrointestinal illness (p < 0.02), 44% less lost training time (p < 0.001), and 31% fewer health care encounters (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that this intervention is capable of significantly reducing illness in this setting and has the potential to help reduce absenteeism in the military workforce as a whole.

Acinetobacter baumannii cells were inoculated (105 or 10³ cells) on small coupons and dried overnight in a class II biosafety cabinet. Drying resulted in ≤50% loss of viability. The UVC fluence of 90 J/m² was observed to be very effective in the decontamination of cells from all metal coupon surfaces (complete killing). However, the same fluence was ineffective in the decontamination of scrubs. The effectiveness of two other common disinfection practices, that is, 15 minutes of boiling or spraying with 70% ethanol, was investigated for the scrubs. Although ethanol treatment was ineffective, the boiling treatment was very effective (complete killing). These results establish that metal surfaces can be decontaminated with UVC irradiation and boiling treatment is effective for scrub decontamination.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2007/11// VL - 172 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1148 EP - 1153 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Introduction: The U.S. Army 28th Combat Support Hospital (CSH), an echelon III facility, deployed to Iraq at the start of military operations in 2003. Shortly after arrival, it was designated as the hospital primarily responsible for burn care for the U.S. military in Iraq. This report reviews the experience of the CSH with burn care during combat operations. Methods: An after-action review was conducted during a 2-day period after the hospital's redeployment. Results: Between April 11, 2003, and August 21, 2003, the 28th CSH treated a total of 7,920 patients, of whom 103 (1.3%) had burns. Patients included U.S. and allied service members, U.S. contractors, and Iraqi prisoners of war and civilians. Although a CSH is designed to care for patients until they can be stabilized and evacuated, usually within 1 to 3 days, the length of stay for some Iraqi patients was as long as 53 days. Definitive care, including excision and grafting of the burn wound, was thus required for some Iraqi patients. The largest graft completed comprised 40% of the total body surface area. The largest burn survived involved ~65% of the total body surface area. Eighteen (17%) of 103 patients returned to duty after treatment at the 28th CSH. The mortality rate for burn patients at the 28th CSH was 8%. Shortages of burn-experienced personnel and burn-specific supplies were identified during the after-action review. Conclusions: The CSH provided complex definitive care to burn patients in an austere environment. Predeployment identification of military field hospitals for such specialized missions, with early assignment of experienced personnel and materiel to these units, may improve future wartime burn care.

Methods and Results: In an experimental chamber in which spores settled onto sampling surfaces, vapourous hydrogen peroxide (VHP) was used for decontamination between experiments. It was demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) absorbed into plastic (Plexiglas®) surfaces and could outgas in the sample holders. Further experiments demonstrated that H2O2 was released from Plexiglas® sample holders in sufficient quantity to inactivate spores. High temperature degassing (30–35°C) for several days or aluminum coating of the surfaces were two remedies found to be effective in preventing inadvertent spore inactivation. Conclusions: H2O2 can be absorbed into plastic and released after an extended period of time (weeks), allowing a sufficient concentration to accumulate in small volumes to inactivate spores. Outgassing the plastic or coating the surface with an impermeable layer are potential solutions to reduce spore inactivation. Significance and Impact of the Study: Many studies with bacilli and other organisms are carried out using small plastic containers that may have been sterilized using H2O2 or other agents. This study presents a cautionary note to ensure elimination of H2O2 or other sterilizing agents to prevent spurious results.

The Black-Scholes equation for the classical option pricing problem is generalized to an infinite-dimensional equation to include the effects of time delay in the evolution of the financial market as well as a very general payoff function. A computational algorithm for the solution is also obtained via a double sequence of polynomials of a certain bounded linear functional on a Banach space and the time variable.

SN - 1364971X AB - Out of a desire to prompt a reconsideration of Spanish nationalism and regionalism in the post-Francoist period, this article seeks to use the example of Madrid to expose the inadequacies of the widely accepted centre-periphery model that is often used to explain geographical identity formation in the period after 1975. Contrary to this model, which posits regional identities forming in response to a strong national centre, an examination of Madrid finds no evidence of a unified national identity, or Spanishness, articulated in the capital during this period. At the same time, there is evidence to suggest that the local and regional administrations of Madrid articulated their own regionalist project between 1979 and 1986, which implies a more global process that escapes the constraints of the centre-periphery model of identity formation and points to the creation of a multiple, or postmodern, democratic identity after the dictatorship.

Results are presented to illustrate the dispersion of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for three different release/building operation scenarios. The results of the experiments from this case study provide valuable insight relevant to the proper planning, design, construction, and operation of buildings.

JO - ASHRAE Transactions JF - ASHRAE Transactions Y1 - 2007/10// VL - 113 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 61 PB - ASHRAE SN - 00012505 AB - Numerous fault detection and diagnostic system techniques have been developed for HVAC systems, but most focus on detecting faults at the component level, for example, air-handling units or variable air volume boxes. This paper examines the use of the ASHRAE simplified energy analysis procedure (SEAP) for fault detection at the whole-building level. In the procedure examined, an implementation of the SEAP is "calibrated" to a period of measured heating and cooling data from a building so the simulated data closely follow the measured data. A small adjustment is added to the simulated data so the total adjusted simulated heating and cooling consumption values exactly match the measured heating and cooling consumption totals for the same period. The adjusted version of the calibrated SEAP simulation is then used to predict future consumption, using future weather data. Visual comparison with future measured data is used to diagnose significant deviations from expected performance. The procedure is applied retrospectively to three years of measured consumption data as a test. It clearly identifies three significant operational changes that occurred during the test period. Three different presentation formats are tested for fault identification—monthly deviations, daily percent deviations, and cumulative deviation plots. All have value, and it is ultimately a user preference as to which is the most informative.

Since 2005, the Medical Situational Awareness in the Theater Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration has exploited advances in information technology, geographic information systems, and open systems architecture to produce a functioning prototype of a medical situational enhancement capability. In May 2006, this prototype supported the medical staff of a combined/joint task force in a realistic command postexercise featuring a simulated outbreak of influenza during Exercise COBRA GOLD in Thailand. The proliferation and maturation of geographic information systems present many opportunities for the military medical community to improve the health of the populations for which it is responsible.

Methods: Recruit suicides were identified through the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. We calculated crude, category-specific, and age-adjusted mortality rates as deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Results: There were 46 onsite suicides by gunshot (39%), hanging (35%), fall/jump (22%), and drug overdose (4%). An additional 20 recruits committed suicide from 1980 through 2004 after leaving the military training site. Methods included gunshot (70%), hanging (20%), fall/jump (5%), and poisoning (5%). Therefore, the overall recruit suicide rate was 6.9 (95% confidence interval = 5.4-8.8) deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Only three (5%) suicides occurred among females resulting in a 3.5 times higher risk for males compared to females (95% confidence interval = 1.1-11.2). Conclusions: Suicide rates among military recruits were lower than those of comparably aged U.S. civilians. However, the occurrence of any suicide during basic military training emphasizes the importance of routine evaluation of the effectiveness of each military service's suicide prevention program as it applies to this population.

Items of particular importance to the user include the in-process volume, control of the energetic material properties (especially temperature and pressure), the ability to quickly release pressure, reduction of metal-to-metal contact, and the control of electrical discharge. In this article, two novel extrusion platforms, the first one involving a flexible manufacturing platform and the second designed to process nanoenergetics, are described to illustrate the procedures necessary to design extrusion platforms for energetics manufacture. Particular emphasis is given to the safety features that need to be incorporated during the design stage, along with a detailed discussion of the flexibility and ease of use of extrusion equipment. The use of material-specific mathematical modeling in the design of the extrusion platforms is also elucidated as a first line of defense for safety and ease of use.

Two immunogenicity trials in rhesus monkeys with a recombinant form of the protein, Pvs25H, were undertaken. Monkeys were vaccinated with Pvs25H adsorbed to Alhydrogel or emulsified in Montanide ISA 720 at 0, 4 and 27 weeks (study 1) or in Montanide ISA 720 at 0 and 18 weeks (study 2) with 1·5 or 15 µg Pvs25H in 0·1 or 0·5 mL of emulsion (four combinations). Immunogenicity was assessed by ELISA and by membrane-feeding experiments using P. vivax- infected blood from human volunteers (studies 1 and 2) or from chimpanzees (study 1). Both vaccine trials generated antibodies that blocked transmission of P. vivax to mosquitoes. Antibody titres and transmission blocking were higher with Montanide ISA 720 than with Alhydrogel in the first trial and with the 15 µg Pvs25H/0·5 mL ISA 720 combination in the second trial.

When polyclonal anti-deglycosylated ricin A-chain antibody (dgA Ab) was administered between 1-18 hr after ricin challenge, all animals survived while delayed treatment to 24 hr resulted in 30% survival. The protective effects of dgA Ab correlated with inhibition of apoptosis in the lungs in vivo and in RAW264.7 macrophage and Jurkat T cells in vitro. In addition, ricin-induced cell cytotoxicity was inhibited by both dgA Ab and RAC18 monoclonal antibody against ricin A-chain. Administration of RAC18 monoclonal antibody at 4, 18, and 24 hr after ricin exposure resulted in 100%, 60% and 50% protection, respectively, suggesting that the therapeutic window for passive vaccination extended to at least 24 hr post-ricin lung challenge.

The interest in gain sharing that developed in the 1990s represented an attempt by physicians to extract and hospitals to offer some of the savings being produced by physicians. Advisory bulletins by the Office of Inspector General (Department of Health and Human Services) quickly put a stop to further interest in these strategies. Newer, narrowly defined types of gain sharing have been under consideration. More broadly defined strategies that will be tested under a new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services demonstration are more promising.

The author comments on the proposed plan to develop an integrated Midwestern rail corridor that would avoid the congestion caused at Chicago and at a number of other points.

SN - 14345021 AB - Micromechanical analysis has the potential to resolve many of the deficiencies of constitutive equations of granular continua by incorporating information obtained from particle-scale measurements. The outstanding problem in applying micromechanics to granular media is the projection scheme to relate continuum variables to particle-scale variables. Within the confines of a projection scheme that assumes affine motion, contact laws based on binary interactions do not fully capture important instabilities. Specifically, these contact laws do not consider mesoscale mechanics related to particle group behaviour such as force chains commonly seen in granular media. The implications of this are discussed in this paper by comparison of two micromechanical constitutive models to particle data observed in computer simulations using the discrete element method (DEM). The first model, in which relative deformations between isolated particle pairs are projected from continuum strain, fails to deliver the observed behaviour. The second model accounts for the contact mechanics at the mesoscale (i.e. particle group behaviour) and, accordingly, involves a nonaffine projection scheme. In contrast with the first, the second model is shown to display strain softening behaviour related to dilatancy and produce realistic shear bands in finite element simulations of a biaxial test. Importantly, the evolution of microscale variables is correctly replicated.

SN - 14345021 AB - It is generally appreciated that the mechanical behavior of granular media depends fundamentally on the interaction of the constituent particles, and that the validity of numerical models of granular media would be greatly improved with knowledge of the grain-scale mechanics. However, most supporting experimental work has been conducted on highly idealized materials, and a limited amount of information exists on grain-scale force–displacement relationships for naturally occurring materials. To address this shortcoming, we are conducting a program that integrates laboratory experiments on grains of naturally occurring aggregate with the discrete element modeling method, with the goal of relating the grain-scale physical and mechanical properties of granular media to bulk behavior. The paper describes the equipment and methods that have been developed to conduct close-loop controlled, grain-scale experiments under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions, and presents results from an initial set of experiments on unbonded grains. The implications of the grain-scale results to the discrete element model are discussed. Discussions center on the applicability of a physically based approach to the mechanics of granular media in general. In light of future exploration missions and the resulting need to predict the mechanical properties of lunar and planetary regoliths, the paper examines the potential usefulness of our physically based approach to the problem of predicting the behavior of the types of materials found in those environments.

Medical records of 518 male and 43 female Army mechanics were screened for injuries during 1 year at a large U.S. Army installation. Weight, height, age, and ethnicity were also extracted from the medical records. Body mass index was calculated as weight/height². Overall injury rates for men and women were 124 and 156 injuries/100 person-years, respectively, with a rate of 127 injuries/100 person-years for all soldiers combined. Women had higher overuse injury rates while men had higher traumatic injury rates. Limited duty days for men and women were 2,076 and 1,966 days/100 person-years, respectively. The lower back, knee, ankle, foot, and shoulder involved 61% of the injuries. Activities associated with injury included (in order of incidence) physical training, mechanical work, sports, airborne-related activities, road marching, garrison/home activities, and chronic conditions. Among the men, elevated injury risk was associated with higher body weight and higher body mass index. It may be possible to prevent many injuries by implementation of evidenced-based interventions currently available in the literature.

Costs and infrastructure disruption may be greatly reduced by ice-storm warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), and by the development of climatologies that allow improved design of infrastructure elements. However, neither the NWS nor developers of climatologies have had direct measurements of ice-storm accumulations as a basis for issuing warnings and developing storm design standards. This paper describes the development of an aviation routine/special weather report (METAR/SPECI) remark that will report quantitative ice thickness at over 650 locations during ice storms using new algorithms developed for the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). Characteristics of the ASOS icing sensor, a field program to develop the algorithms, tests of accuracy, application of the algorithms, and sources of error are described, as is the implementation of an ice-thickness METAR/SPECI remark. The algorithms will potentially allow freezing precipitation events to be tracked with regard to ice accumulation in near–real time as they progress across the United States.

Type and nature of the diisocyanate was systematically varied in order to analyze the effect of HS symmetry and type of linkage between the HS and SS on the structure-property relationship of these segmented copolymers. Results showed that the increased symmetry of the diisocyanates allows a more efficient packing of the HSs which leads to a microphase-separated structure with the crystalline hard ribbon or thread-like domains percolated throughout the SS matrix, even with a low HS content (ca. 13 wt.%). The service window of these segmented copolymers was significantly influenced by the symmetry and type of linkage between the HS and SS. Most copolymers also showed evidence of strain hardening accented by the strain induced crystallization of the PTMO SS.

The 2,4-DNT is in particulate form, within fibers or slivers of the nitrocellulose-based propellant. The slender fibers range up to 7.5 mm in length with masses of several 100 μ g. Size fractionation of a firing point soil revealed that most of the 2,4-DNT was in the 0.595- to 2.00-mm size range, although the bulk of the soil was less than 0.6 mm prior to grinding. Machine grinding for five minutes was needed to pulverize the propellant fibers sufficiently so that estimates of 2,4-DNT were reproducible in replicate analytical subsamples. To determine 2,4-DNT, we have adopted the practice of grinding firing point soils for five one-minute intervals, with time for heat dissipation between grinds, prior to obtaining individual or replicate 10-g subsamples.

Sightability of oryx was affected by group size, activity, and vegetation type. We used logistic regression to model all possible combinations of the three significant variables, and compared models with a variety of fit and information-theoretic statistics as well as by relative performance. Because no model was superior to the others, we used relative performance among all models and parsimony to select the preferred model. Our preferred model included variables for social group size and three levels of group activity (bedded, standing, moving). This model estimated oryx population size as 3917 (3534-4297) and 3312 (2999-3593) for two annual surveys, and showed a deviance of -0.007 and -0.03 from the grand mean of all models for these surveys, respectively. Full confidence interval widths from complete surveys (100% of area covered) were 19.0% and 17.9% of mean population estimates, allowing for precise estimation and consequently management of the oryx population, although confidence interval widths will vary with group size and behaviour. Oryx surveys should be conducted during periods when group sizes are largest locally, which was the summer in New Mexico, to maximize sightability of oryx and thus minimize variation in population estimates due to sighting error.

JO - Boundary-Layer Meteorology JF - Boundary-Layer Meteorology Y1 - 2007/09// VL - 124 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 315 EP - 333 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00068314 AB - Measurements of atmospheric turbulence made during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean Experiment (SHEBA) are used to examine the profile stability functions of momentum, φ m , and sensible heat, φ h , in the stably stratified boundary layer over the Arctic pack ice. Turbulent fluxes and mean meteorological data that cover different surface conditions and a wide range of stability conditions were continuously measured and reported hourly at five levels on a 20-m main tower for 11 months. The comprehensive dataset collected during SHEBA allows studying φ m and φ h in detail and includes ample data for the very stable case. New parameterizations for φ m (ζ) and φ h (ζ) in stable conditions are proposed to describe the SHEBA data; these cover the entire range of the stability parameter ζ = z/ L from neutral to very stable conditions, where L is the Obukhov length and z is the measurement height. In the limit of very strong stability, φ m follows a ζ 1/3 dependence, whereas φ h initially increases with increasing ζ, reaches a maximum at ζ ≈ 10, and then tends to level off with increasing ζ. The effects of self-correlation, which occur in plots of φ m and φ h versus ζ, are reduced by using an independent bin-averaging method instead of conventional averaging.

Unlike most other optical methods, the current technique provides an estimate of the velocity gradient, without having to first measure velocity at multiple points. The measurement principle is based on the heterodyne of coherent light scattered from two adjacent particles. The beat frequency of the heterodyne is directly proportional to the velocity gradient. The probe is assembled from commercially available, inexpensive optical components. A laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) processor is used to analyze the heterodyne signal. A component of vorticity is obtained by using two appropriately aligned velocity gradient probes. The optical probes developed were used in turbulent boundary layers to measure local, time-frozen velocity gradients ∂u/∂y, ∂v/∂x, and ∂v/∂y, as well as the spanwise vorticity. The measurements were compared to those inferred from LDV measurements in the same facility and to data available in the literature.

The objective of this workshop was to convene inhalation toxicologists and medical experts from academia, industry and regulatory authorities to critically discuss past and recent inhalation studies of phosgene in controlled animal models. This included presentations addressing the benefits and limitations of rodent (mice, rats) and nonrodent (dogs) species to study concentration × time (C × t) relationships of acute and chronic types of pulmonary changes. Toxicological endpoints focused on the primary pulmonary effects associated with the acute inhalation exposure to phosgene gas and responses secondary to injury. A consensus was reached that the phosgene-induced increased pulmonary extravasation of fluid and protein can suitably be probed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) techniques. BAL fluid analyses rank among the most sensitive methods to detect phosgene-induced noncardiogenic, pulmonary high-permeability edema following acute inhalation exposure. Maximum protein concentrations in BAL fluid occurred within 1 day after exposure, typically followed by a latency period up to about 15 h, which is reciprocal to the C × t exposure relationship. The C × t relationship was constant over a wide range of concentrations and single exposure durations. Following intermittent, repeated exposures of fixed duration, increased tolerance to recurrent exposures occurred. For such exposure regimens, chronic effects appear to be clearly dependent on the concentration rather than the cumulative concentration × time relationship. The threshold C × t product based on an increased BAL fluid protein following single exposure was essentially identical to the respective C × t product following subchronic exposure of rats based on increased pulmonary collagen and influx of inflammatory cells. Thus, the chronic outcome appears to be contingent upon the acute pulmonary threshold dose. Exposure concentrations high enough to elicit an increased acute extravasation of plasma constituents into the alveolus may also be associated with surfactant dysfunction, intra-alveolar accumulation of fibrin and collagen, and increased recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells. Although the exact mechanisms of toxicity have not yet been completely elucidated, consensus was reached that the acute pulmonary toxicity of phosgene gas is consistent with a simple, irritant mode of action at the site of its initial deposition/retention. The acute concentration × time mortality relationship of phosgene gas in rats is extremely steep, which is typical for a local, directly acting pulmonary irritant gas. Due to the high lipophilicity of phosgene gas, it efficiently penetrates the lower respiratory tract. Indeed, more recent published evidence from animals or humans has not revealed appreciable irritant responses in central and upper airways, unless exposure was to almost lethal concentrations. The comparison of acute inhalation studies in rats and dogs with focus on changes in BAL fluid constituents demonstrates that dogs are approximately three to four times less susceptible to phosgene than rats under methodologically similar conditions. There are data to suggest that the dog may be useful particularly for the study of mechanisms associated with the acute extravasation of plasma constituents because of its size and general morphology and physiology of the lung as well as its oronasal breathing patterns. However, the study of the long-term sequelae of acute effects is experimentally markedly more demanding in dogs as compared to rats, precluding the dog model to be applied on a routine base. The striking similarity of threshold concentrations from single exposure (increased protein in BAL fluid) and repeated-exposure 3-mo inhalation studies (increased pulmonary collagen...

JO - Journal of Sport Rehabilitation JF - Journal of Sport Rehabilitation Y1 - 2007/08// VL - 16 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 238 EP - 243 SN - 10566716 AB - Objectives: We report our observations on one soldier with abnormal hyperthermia during exercise in the heat compared with prior exercise and following acute local (non-febrile) infection. Also, we report on 994 heat stroke hospitalizations in the U.S. Army. It is known that prior infection is a risk factor for heat illness and some of the 37 heat stroke deaths cited infections (eg, pneumonia, influenza) in the medical records. Results: This case report illustrates complete recovery from abnormal hyperthermia, which occurred in a laboratory setting during mild, low intensity exercise. In a field setting, this case may have resulted in serious heat illness. As with most of the heat stroke cases, rapid medical attention (ie, cooling and rehydration) and the age group (19 to 26) that represents majority of the heatstroke cases in U.S. Army are likely factors that contribute successful treatment of heatstroke in the field environment. Conclusions: We conclude that acute inflammatory response can augment the hyperthermia of exercise and possibly increase heat illness susceptibility. Furthermore, it is important for health care providers of soldiers and athletes to monitor acute local infections due to the potential thermoregulatory consequences during exercise in the heat.

Shortcuts to measuring biodiversity enable prioritization of conservation effort in the face of limited time, personnel and funding. The conservation umbrella approach focuses management effort according to individual species that may confer protection to a larger community. This approach can help guide the management agenda towards attainable goals by maximizing conservation returns per unit effort. The development of the umbrella index has shown promise in identifying umbrella species in terrestrial ecosystems but has received little attention with respect to the management of wetland ecosystems. 2. We used the umbrella index to assess the umbrella potential of vascular plants and dragonflies (Odonata) from 15 wetland impoundments in northern Mississippi, USA. The presence of adult odonates was determined by repeated visual surveys and plant lists were compiled from 50 plots per site. 3. Umbrella schemes, or the sites occupied by top umbrella species, missed large numbers of beneficiary species and occurrences. With one exception, umbrella schemes failed to optimize conservation returns relative to randomized schemes in both assemblages. Also, umbrella schemes approximately equalled the performance of non-umbrella schemes both overall and for species with a low rate of occurrence. Low occurrence rates in both assemblages may have hindered umbrella index performance because the index assumes that species with moderate occurrence rates have the most umbrella potential. 4. Cross-taxon analyses (Mantel tests and McNemar tests) suggested transferability of plant and dragonfly umbrella schemes, and non-random association between the plants and dragonflies in these wetlands. 5. Synthesis and applications. Despite the questionable performance of umbrella schemes in our study, the use of a quantitative ecological tool such as the umbrella index instead of political or popularity criteria is strongly recommended for future selection of umbrella species. The results of cross-taxon analyses supported growing evidence for spatial and functional relationships between wetland macrophytes and adult odonates. We suggest that the more easily measured assemblage can be used to set priorities for wetland conservation planning in circumstances where human resources are constrained.

An instrumentation design was used in which a panel of experts completed a content validity index on all skills. Simulation testing was used to determine criterion validity, intrarater, interrater, and test-retest reliability. Findings revealed that needle chest decompression, Combitube insertion, and automatic external defibrillator were the only skills with low validity (content validity index ≤ 0.75). Splinting was recommended as an addition to the skill test. The validity criterion of a modified postcourse Emergency Medical Technician-Basic examination score was significantly related to the Semi-Annual Combat Medic Skills-Validation Test scores (r = 0.409, p = 0.006, two tailed). There was high intra- and inter-rater agreement on performance steps and skills. Higher subject scores were seen on the medical skills than on the trauma skills. When retested, there was significant improvement (t - 3.268, df = 7, p < 0.014, two tailed).

SN - 08949867 AB - Relationships among a modifiable situational factor (unit cohesion), prior stressful life events, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were assessed in 1,579 U.S. Army soldiers with no history of contemporary war zone deployment. It was predicted that unit cohesion would attenuate the dose-response relationship between past stressor exposures and PTSD symptoms at relatively moderate levels of exposure. Consistent with this hypothesis, regression analysis revealed that life experiences and unit cohesion strongly and independently predicted PTSD symptoms, and that unit cohesion attenuated the impact of life experiences on PTSD. Some military personnel reported significant predeployment, stress-related symptoms. These symptoms may serve as vulnerabilities that could potentially be activated by subsequent war-zone deployment. Higher predeployment unit cohesion levels appear to ameliorate such symptoms, potentially lessening future vulnerability.

Visible morphological anomalies were observed in 9.1% of 176 pallid ( Scaphirhynchus albus) and 4.6% of 4904 shovelnose ( Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) sturgeon specimens captured in the Middle (mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River) and Lower (below mouth of Ohio River) Mississippi River from 1997 to 2004. Frequencies among the types of anomalies differed between the lower and middle river reaches. In the lower river, deformities from foreign objects (typically rubber bands) comprised almost one-third of anomalies observed and may have contributed to other types of anterior injury which, if combined, would comprise the majority of lower river anomalies. In the middle river, nearly half of the observed anomalies involved damage to the caudal peduncle, usually a missing tail. Power regressions from length–weight relationships were compared for anomalous and non-anomalous specimens and demonstrated no significant disparity, verifying the resiliency of river sturgeons.

Available empirical data are limited to a few studies based on low sample sizes from disjointed populations. Geneticists are currently searching for markers that will differentiate the two species, but the need for unequivocal species-specific field characters remains. Continuation of commercial fishing for shovelnose sturgeon in some states necessitates an immediate means for accurate field identifications. Previous studies of lower basin river sturgeon classified individuals with simple morphometric character indices and interpreted intermediacy as interspecific hybridization. In this study, morphometric variation among Scaphirhynchus specimens from the Middle and Lower Mississippi River is examined for evidence of hybridization. Data are compared for large (>250-mm standard length) hatchery-reared and wild pallid specimens and wild shovelnose specimens. Specimens are compared using two morphometric character indices, two morphometric/meristic character indices and principal components analysis. Results indicate substantial morphological variation among pallid sturgeon below the mouth of the Missouri River. The amount of variation appears to decrease downstream in the Mississippi River. Sheared principal components analysis of morphometric data shows complete separation of shovelnose and pallid sturgeon specimens, whereas character indices indicate overlap. Both character indices and sheared principal components analysis demonstrate that pallid sturgeon in the Lower Mississippi River are morphologically more similar to shovelnose sturgeon than are pallids from the Upper Missouri River. This similarity, explained in previous studies as hybridization, may be the result of latitudinal morphometric variation and length-at-age differences between populations of the upper and lower extremes of the range.

Individual sturgeon were placed in an 18 927 L elliptical flume, and their location was recorded after a 2-h period. Data were analyzed using exact chi-square goodness of fit tests and exact tests of independence. Both sturgeon species used substrate, depth, and light in similar proportions. (all comparisons; P > 0.05). Specifically, pallid and shovelnose sturgeon did not use substrate in proportion to its availability (pallid: P = 0.0026; shovelnose: P = 0.0199). Each species used sand substrate more and gravel substrate less than expected based on availability. Additionally, neither species used woody structure. Both species used deep areas in greater proportion than availability while shallow areas were used less than expected based on availability (pallid; P < 0.0001; shovelnose; P = 0.0335). Pallid and shovelnose sturgeon used very dark areas in greater proportion than expected based on availability; however, very light areas were used in lower proportion than expected (P < 0.0001). Overall, neither species changed their use of habitat in relation to a change in water velocity (pallid, all comparisons P > 0.05; shovelnose, all comparisons P > 0.05). This study is the first investigation of juvenile pallid and shovelnose sturgeon habitat selection in a large-scale artificial stream system. Field studies of microhabitat selection by juvenile pallid and shovelnose sturgeon should be carried out to substantiate the results of this study, and to identify critical habitat for recovery and management of sturgeon species. Due to the extensive range, longevity, and migratory behavior of these fishes, proper management likely requires river improvements that provide sturgeon with access to a broad range of habitat conditions over time, including system-wide habitat diversity; natural variation in flow, velocity, temperature, and turbidity; high water quality; a broad prey base; free-flowing river sections which provide suitable spawning and rearing sites, as well as protection from recreational and commercial harvesting.

This collective series represents 32% of the known museum specimens. Gut contents were dominated by aquatic insects and fishes. At the taxonomic level of insect orders, Dipterans (174.3/fish) were the most numerically abundant food item consumed, followed by Ephemeroptera (19.0/fish), Trichoptera (4.0/fish), Coleoptera (2.4/fish), and Odonata (2.0/fish). Weight, which better reflects the caloric value of food items consumed, showed a similar consumption pattern. Dipterans (12.5%) made up the largest percentage of the total weight of insect prey, followed by Ephemeroptera (8.9%), Trichoptera (6.0%), Odonata, (4.5%) and Coleoptera (0.9%). Volumetric values were substantially higher than weights for Odonata (13.4%) and Ephemeroptera (14.3%), but were comparable for Diptera (10.6%), Trichoptera (4.7%), and Coleoptera (2.2%). The diet of the Alabama sturgeon is similar to the pallid and shovelnose sturgeon, eating both aquatic invertebrates and fish. In terms of piscivory, the volume of fish in the diet of the Alabama sturgeon (34.5%) is intermediate between that of the shovelnose (0% fish) and the pallid sturgeon (60% fish). Based upon the habitat preference of the prey family assemblages present from the 12 guts examined, probable feeding habitats of this sturgeon include sandy to rocky bottoms, slow to swift water velocities, and the water column. Conservation of fish prey may be important to the survival and recovery of the Alabama sturgeon.

Instead of applying confining pressure, cuboid specimens with the material axis inclining to the loading direction at different angles (0°, 3°, 5°, and 7°) are used to generate higher shear stresses. A high-speed digital camera, synchronized with the loading stress pulse, is used to record the dynamic crack initiation and propagation. Experimental results show that the equivalent stress at failure decreases with increasing shear portion in the stress. Digital images show that the cracks initiate randomly in the right specimen, whereas cracks initiate from the stress-concentrated corners in the inclined specimens. Subsequent crack propagation, despite specimen inclination angles, is along the specimen axis rather than the compressive loading direction.

JO - Defence Studies JF - Defence Studies Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 7 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 208 EP - 238 PB - Routledge SN - 14702436 AB - Nielsen's article asks the simple, but profound question: what should government leaders think about as they decide whether or not to go to war? Typically our response to this question draws upon some aspect of Clausewitz. This is hardly surprising given that he is one of the foremost military theorists of all time, and is famous for stating that "war is merely the continuation of politics by other means." One could easily derive from this statement the idea that war is a tool of policy just like any other. However, Nielsen takes issue with this orthodox and amoral view and argues that this interpretation of Clausewitz is misleading and incomplete. Though Clausewitz asserts that war is an instrument of policy, he also sees warfare as a unique form of human interaction. Clausewitz recognized that the cost of war to individuals, communities and societies could be horrendous. Political and military leaders should not deceive themselves, but should recognize that war is a brutal and bloody activity. Only with a full appreciation of the costs and risks would leaders take an approach likely to maximize benefits and minimize the perils of a military undertaking. This article explores Clausewitz's perspective on the moral issues that war inevitably raises by addressing two main questions. First, what views does Clausewitz express on the role of ethical considerations in war? Second, should the statesman's actions in international politics be guided by morality? Whilst it is recognised that Clausewitz does prioritize state interests over moral considerations, he would be the first to remind political leaders of war's uncertainty and inevitable costs. In addition, Clausewitz's approach leaves open the possibility that state interests can vary over time in ways that expand opportunities for moral action beyond those he saw in his time.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the detection, localization, and response time to an M-16 rifle magazine insertion click in three background conditions: jungle, pink, and ambient noise. The level of the click varied from -18 to 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Reported results indicate that detection rates of 50, 70, and 100% required SNRs of –6 to –12, –3, and 0 dB, respectively. Localization accuracy of 50 and 80% within a ±15° angle required SNRs of about –6 and 0 dB, respectively; 100% accuracy was never achieved. Response time was about 2.0—2.5 s for high SNRs but increased gradually at poorer SNRs. The military relevance of the reported findings is discussed.

Sherman remarked that, although he had known Ulysses S. Grant for years, "to me he is a mystery, and I believe he is a mystery to himself." Over the last quarter-century many authors have claimed to have solved or at least shed fresh light on the mystery of Grant. For the most part, they have portrayed Grant as a great general and good man, dissenting strongly with the highly negative portrayal of Grant contained in William S. McFeely's 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning study. This essay traces the evolution of Grant scholarship since 1981 and suggests possible lines of inquiry for future Grant scholars.

During these years, however, the Army suffered from a crippling manpower dilemma, both in quantity and in quality, the result of a limited national mobilization and President Harry S. Truman's decision to cut the Army's budget without cutting its missions. This dilemma adversely affected combat effectiveness, readiness, and morale. For some career soldiers, the stresses of this period exposed aspects of the Army's institutional culture that they found disturbing.

To establish developmental toxicity criteria for TG, an oral developmental toxicity study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Neat thiodiglycol (99.9 %) was administered orally to mated female rats from gestation days (GDs) 5 through 19. The day of positive mating was considered day 0. A pilot study was conducted with TG at dose levels 250, 500, 1000, 2000, or 5000 mg/kg to select suitable doses for the main study. In the main study, three groups of rats (25/group) received TG by gavage at dose levels of 430, 1290, or 3870 mg/kg/day. A fourth group served as a sham control. On day 20 of gestation, all females were euthanized and a cesarean section performed. Litters were examined for soft tissue and skeletal alterations. Maternal toxicity was limited to dams receiving TG at 3870 mg/kg/day. At this dose, body weights and food consumption were reduced during certain periods of gestation. Fetuses derived from those dams exhibited a nonstatistically significant increased incidence of variations when compared to controls. Fetal body weights in the 3870 mg/kg/day group were significantly lower than controls. There was no increased incidence of anomalies when thiodiglycol-treated fetuses were compared to controls. It was concluded that TG did not produce terata. Developmental toxicity (decreased fetal weights and associated delays in development) occurred only at the maternally toxic dose of 3870 mg/kg. It appears that 1290 mg/kg/day could be considered no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for oral developmental toxicity. The lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) was 3870 mg/kg for maternal toxicity.

Since 2001, immunization with the hepatitis A vaccine has been recommended for civilian adolescents in higher risk areas. Recently, the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board recommended serologic screening where feasible to reduce redundant recruit immunizations. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine hepatitis A seroprevalence in recruit populations to inform screening policy. Methods: Banked serum from a sample of military recruits (n = 2,592) in 2004 was tested for total antibody to hepatitis A (anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV)). Results: The overall anti-HAV seroprevalence was 12.0% (95% confidence interval, 10.8%-13.3%). Adjusted to the age distribution of the 18- to 34-year-old population, the seroprevalence was 11,9% (10.5%-I3.4%). The lowest seroprevalence was noted in the 1984 birth cohort, with significantly higher seroprevalence among younger recruits. Conclusions: Rising hepatitis A immunity among successive birth cohorts suggests increasing compliance with immunization recommendations. In anticipation of rising population immunity, universal screening of military recruits for anti-HAV is recommended.

Twin-screw extrusion process generated more homogeneous mixtures of nanoparticles than conventional (intensive batch) mixing technologies and the use of surfactants further improved the homogeneity. With increasing homogeneity the suspension exhibited lower elasticity and shear viscosity. Overall, the results of this study emphasize the important roles played by the surface properties of rigid particles, the interfacial tension between the particles and the binder, and the rheological behavior of the binder. In the absence of properly selected binder and surfactant(s), the processing of nanoparticles, without agglomeration, is difficult to achieve. This finding may be relevant to the evaluation of past efforts, which have aimed to improve the ultimate properties of energetic formulations by incorporating nanoparticles.

The suspended sediment volume per unit horizontal area is estimated using the computed energy dissipation rates due to wave breaking and bottom friction. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is estimated as the product of the longshore current and suspended sediment volume. The developed model is compared with limited field and laboratory data. The calibrated model is in fair agreement with the data. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is shown to be approximately proportional to the square of the longshore current. The developed model appears promising but will need to be evaluated using extensive data sets.

Electrode materials can easily be coated on the anodes of the electrochemical cell array and screened by switching a graphite probe from one cell to the others. The electrochemical cell array was used to study direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), including high throughput screening of electrode catalysts and determination of optimum operating conditions. For screening of DMFCs, there is about 6% relative standard deviation (percentage of standard deviation versus mean value) for discharge current from 10 to 20 mA/cm2. The electrochemical cell array was also used to study tin/air batteries. The effect of Cu content in the anode electrode on the discharge performance of the tin/air battery was investigated. The relative standard deviations for screening of metal/air battery (based on zinc/air) are 2.4%, 3.6%, and 5.1% for discharge current at 50, 100, and 150 mA/cm2, respectively.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2007/06// VL - 19 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 667 EP - 681 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - To improve toxicity estimates from sublethal exposures to chemical warfare nerve agents (CWNA), it is necessary to generate mathematical models of the absorption, distribution, and elimination of nerve agents. However, current models are based on representative data sets generated with different routes of exposure and in different species and are designed to interpolate between limited laboratory data sets to predict a wide range of possible human exposure scenarios. This study was performed to integrate CWNA sublethal toxicity data in male Duncan Hartley guinea pigs. Specific goal was to compare uptake and clearance kinetics of different sublethal doses of sarin (either 0.1 × or 0.4 × LC50) in blood and tissues of guinea pigs exposed to agent by acute whole-body inhalation exposure after the 60-min LC50 was determined. Arterial catheterization allowed repeated blood sampling from the same animal at various time periods. Blood and tissue levels of acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and regenerated sarin (rGB) were determined at various time points during and following sarin exposure. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the graph of plasma or RBC rGB concentration versus time: time to reach the maximal concentration; maximal concentration; mean residence time; clearance; volume of distribution at steady state; terminal elimination-phase rate constant; and area under plasma concentration time curve extrapolated to infinity using the WinNonlin analysis program 5.0. Plasma and RBC t1/2 for rGB was also calculated. Data will be used to develop mathematical model of absorption and distribution of sublethal sarin doses into susceptible tissues.

The lidar used here employs a scanning, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser to emit an infrared (1064 nm) and green (532 nm) pulse 6 ns in duration at a rate of 1 kHz. The received signal is split to infrared, green, and fluorescent (nominally 580–600 nm) channels, the latter two of which are used to compute absolute dye concentration as a function of depth and horizontal position. Comparison of dye concentrations inferred from the lidar with in situ fluorometry measurements made by ship shows good agreement both qualitatively and quantitatively for absolute dye concentrations ranging from 1 to >10 ppb. Uncertainties associated with horizontal variations in the natural seawater attenuation are approximately 1 ppb. The results demonstrate the ability of airborne lidar to capture high-resolution three-dimensional “snapshots” of the distribution of the tracer as it evolves over very short time and space scales. Such measurements offer a powerful observational tool for studies of transport and mixing on these scales.

Thanks to the combined pressure of these attacks and of defects in American policymaking, U.S. interests in the region have suffered as has America's ability to advance them. This article analyzes U.S. interests in Central Asia, the nature of the challenges to them, the shortcomings of American policymaking insofar as this region is concerned, and steps that need to be taken to overcome these challenges and defects in policymaking.

JO - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems JF - International Journal of High Speed Electronics & Systems Y1 - 2007/06// VL - 17 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 237 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 01291564 AB - The development of an effective biological (bio) agent detection capability based upon terahertz (THz) frequency absorption spectra will require insight into how the constituent cellular components contribute to the overall THz signature. In this work, the specific contribution of ribonucleic acid (RNA) to THz spectra is analyzed in detail. Previously, it has only been possible to simulate partial fragments of the RNA (or DNA) structures due to the excessive computational demands. For the first time, the molecular structure of the entire transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule of E. coli was simulated and the associated THz signature was derived theoretically. The tRNA that binds amino acid tyrosine (tRNAtyr) was studied. Here, the molecular structure was optimized using the potential energy minimization and molecular dynamical (MD) simulations. Solvation effects (water molecules) were also included explicitly in the MD simulations. To verify that realistic molecular signatures were simulated, a parallel experimental study of tRNAs of E. coli was also conducted. Two very similar molecules, valine and tyrosine tRNA were investigated experimentally. Samples were prepared in the form of water solutions with the concentrations in the range 0.01-1 mg/ml. A strong correlation of the measured THz signatures associated with valine tRNA and tyrosine tRNA was observed. These findings are consistent with the structural similarity of the two tRNAs. The calculated THz signature of the tyrosine tRNA of E. coli reproduces many features of our measured spectra, and, therefore, provides valuable new insights into bio-agent detection.

The proposed device utilizes novel nanoscale mechanisms to achieve externally driven oscillations that consist of two phases – i.e., an initial transient phase produced by a natural Zener (interband) tunneling process and a second discharging transient phase induced by optical annihilation of stored hole-charge by externally-injected photon flux. The specific focus of this paper will be on an OT-I-RTD oscillator that utilizes In1-xGaxAs /GaSbyAs1-y hetero-systems and the application of band-engineering to enable triggering by 1.55 μm laser technology. The paper presents performance results for the hybrid circuit design, along with a practical implementation strategy for integrating the optical triggering and an analysis of the heating induced during large signal operation.

The circuit consists of just two active nonlinear elements (high-speed analog multipliers) and a few passive linear elements. Experimental implementations of the circuit exhibit the classic butterfly attractor and the hysteretic transition from steady state to chaos observed in the Lorenz equations. The simplicity of the circuit makes it suitable for radio frequency applications.

However, these results are also of intrinsic interest for what they reveal about the contribution of various building characteristics to risk from airborne contaminants. A variety of parameters were varied, including building construction, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system design, and release characteristics, among others. Results of these simulations demonstrate the variability of exposure possible under different scenarios and, more particularly, the impact that HVAC design decisions can have on risk. Although a single building and restricted set of scenarios was investigated, several general conclusions could be drawn regarding factors, such as HVAC zoning and filter maintenance, that intrinsically contribute to vulnerability reduction.

JO - Environmental Health Perspectives JF - Environmental Health Perspectives Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 115 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 756 EP - 763 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00916765 AB - BACKGROUND: Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is characterized by lung injury and inflammation, with significant increases in the numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. METHODS: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. RESULTS: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization--time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers.

JO - Skin Research & Technology JF - Skin Research & Technology Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 217 EP - 225 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 0909752X AB - Background/purpose: A sulfur mustard (SM)-induced cutaneous injury model was developed in weanling swine to evaluate the efficacy of candidate treatment regimens. Lesions were assessed clinically and histopathologically. Histopathologic evaluation of lesions was a subjective and invasive assessment. Biomechanical engineering methods offer an objective and less invasive method to evaluate lesions. The purpose of this study was to use biomechanical engineering instruments to assess SM-induced lesions for depth of injury and to correlate those assessments with histopathology. Methods: Two groups of six animals each were exposed to 400 μL undiluted SM applied at each of six abdominal sites for either 2 or 30 min. An additional seven animals received a sham treatment (control; 400 μL deionized water applied to each of six sites for 30 min). Each site was evaluated before exposure and 2 days after exposure. Biomechanical engineering techniques used to assess each lesion were reflectance colorimetry, evaporimetry [transepidermal water loss (TEWL)], laser Doppler perfusion imaging, and high-frequency (20 MHz) two-dimensional ultrasound. Injury depth and lesion severity were assessed and correlated to biomechanical methods using special histopathologic staining techniques. Results: Two- and 30-min cutaneous lesions were significantly different from controls at the 0.05 probability level for redness (chroma meter) and TEWL (evaporimeter), but were not significantly different from each other. The 2-min lesions had a significant increase (2.11 AU, SE=0.06) and the 30-min lesions had a decrease (0.96 AU, SE=0.04) from controls (1.31 AU, SE=0.03) in microcirculatory blood flux (laser Doppler). The 2-min lesions and controls were significantly different at the 0.05 level from 30-min lesions in skin thickness (ultrasound). The 2- and 30-min groups were significantly different from controls and from each other at the 0.05 level in histopathologic assessment of injury depth, basal cell necrosis, depth of necrosis, and vascular necrosis, with the 30-min injuries being most severe. Conclusion: There was mixed evidence that the bioengineering techniques tested could differentiate between controls, 2-min (partial-thickness) cutaneous injuries and 30-min (full-thickness) cutaneous injuries at day 2. Both biomechanical and histopathologic assessments are useful methods of characterizing SM lesions in the weanling pig model. Biomechanical methods are non-invasive and quantitative, and multiple readings over shorter and longer periods of time may improve differentiation in depth of injury. Histopathologic assessments are important for confirmation of lesion depth and severity, and for assisting interpretation when a single assessment using bioengineering methods is used.

Hydrogen sulfide is a lipid-soluble gas produced in occupational settings and from decaying organic matter. We present a 36-year-old man who developed acute respiratory arrest from hydrogen sulfide poisoning while performing work as a dairy farmer. Case report. The subject entered a poorly ventilated tank containing degrading eggs and, within seconds, collapsed. Coworkers were able to extract him within minutes but he was apneic. He was intubated by emergency medical services and subsequently managed with supportive care in the intensive care unit. Upon admission, a powerful rotten egg scent was noted and a hydrogen sulfide poisoning was suspected. Serum analysis for the presence of thiosulfate confirmed the diagnosis. Nitrite therapy was not administered as the subject arrived outside of the therapeutic window of effectiveness and showed evidence of excellent oxygenation. His examinations following arrival were consistent with an anoxic brain injury which slowly improved several months after the incident with intensive neuro-rehabilitation. Discussion. Hydrogen sulfide is a mitochondrial toxin and inhibits cytochrome-aa3 and prevents cellular aerobic metabolism. Therapies for toxic exposures include removal from the contaminated environment, ventilation with 100% oxygen, and nitrite therapy if administered immediately after exposure. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has anecdotal support and remains controversial. Conclusion. Hydrogen sulfide is a significant occupational health hazard. Education, personal protective equipment, and early treatment are important in improving outcomes.

Investigators from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (Silver Spring, Maryland) met with scientists from government and academic institutes and industry to review the current global status of leishmaniasis and to explore the potential role of exoantigens In the detection of Leishmania in the vertebrate host and arthropod vector. Some encouraging data. particularly in the immunodiagnosis of leishmaniasis, were shared. The participants concluded that the meeting provided a unique opportunity for Investigators working on various aspects of the problem to network and to forge productive collaborations that could potentially lead to the development of more-effective tools to counter this persistent and expanding threat. They recommended periodic meetings to assess interval progress, to revise timelines, and to set achievable goals. The meeting also highlighted the importance of Leishmanin infection in the 21st century, with more movement of people from disease-endemic to non-disease-endemic countries. Increased incidence and geographic spread of leishmaniasis emphasize the need for better and more reliable detection methods. Exoantigen-based diagnostic devices hold promise in this direction.

More than 20,000 patients received care during a 4-month period. An initially high surgical workload quickly decreased while the volume of primary care patients increased, eventually accounting for 90% of patient visits.

The Alberta clipper (hereafter simply clipper) occurs most frequently during December and January and substantially less frequently during October and March. These cyclones generally move southeastward from the lee of the Canadian Rockies toward or just north of Lake Superior before progressing eastward into southeastern Canada or the northeastern United States, with less than 10% of the cases in the climatology tracking south of the Great Lakes. Characteristics of the structure and evolution of clippers during a 36-h period leading up to departure of the cyclone from the lee of the Canadian Rockies and a 60-h period after departure as the cyclone traverses central and eastern North America are examined through composite analyses. Over the course of the predeparture period, a cyclone over the Gulf of Alaska approaches the west coast of North America, and through its interaction with the mountainous terrain of western North America spawns a surface lee trough, characterized by a thermal ridge at 850 hPa, to the east of the Canadian Rockies. This thermal ridge dampens considerably as the composite clipper moves into central North America away from the immediate lee of the Canadian Rockies. The composite clipper system evolves from a lee cyclone with its nonclassical thermal structure to a more classically structured midlatitude cyclone as it moves through central and eastern North America largely as a result of rotation of the low-level thermal gradient and the increasing westward tilt with height of the composite clipper over the last 36 h of the postdeparture period. The thermal gradient rotation is dynamically linked to convergence of the along-isentrope component of the Q vector and thus to the ascent that sustains the clipper and creates some of its characteristic sensible weather elements. Such dynamical forcing is a direct consequence of the persistent westward displacement of the 500-hPa vorticity maximum with respect to the composite clipper sea level pressure minimum that characterizes the postdeparture period.

JO - Journal of Physical Oceanography JF - Journal of Physical Oceanography Y1 - 2007/04// VL - 37 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 908 EP - 931 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00223670 AB - Wind-sea generation was observed during two experiments off the coast of North Carolina. One event with offshore winds of 9–11 m s-1 directed 20° from shore normal was observed with eight directional stations recording simultaneously and spanning a fetch from 4 to 83 km. An opposing swell of 1-m height and 10-s period was also present. The wind-sea part of the wave spectrum conforms to established growth curves for significant wave height and peak period, except at inner-shelf stations where a large alongshore wind-sea component was observed. At these short fetches, the mean wave direction θm was observed to change abruptly across the wind-sea spectral peak, from alongshore at lower frequencies to downwind at higher frequencies. Waves from another event with offshore winds of 6–14 m s-1 directed 20°–30° from shore normal were observed with two instrument arrays. A significant amount of low-frequency wave energy was observed to propagate alongshore from the region where the wind was strongest. These measurements are used to assess the performance of some widely used parameterizations in wave models. The modeled transition of θm across the wind-sea spectrum is smoother than that in the observations and is reproduced very differently by different parameterizations, giving insights into the appropriate level of dissipation. Calculations with the full Boltzmann integral of quartet wave–wave interactions reveal that the discrete interaction approximation parameterization for these interactions is reasonably accurate at the peak of the wind sea but overpredicts the directional spread at high frequencies. This error is well compensated by parameterizations of the wind input source term that have a narrow directional distribution. Observations also highlight deficiencies in some parameterizations of wave dissipation processes in mixed swell–wind-sea conditions.

Performance measurements included latency to detect a target, number of correct target detections, correct friend versus foe identification, targets hit, and latency to respond to the presentation of a continuous tone (secondary task). Activity monitors measured motor activity during study participation. During higher work rate sessions, participants responded to the appearance of a target more quickly, discriminated friend from foe more accurately, and hit more foe targets. The addition of a simple auditory task to the primary task did not affect performance on any of the sentry duty measures. These findings demonstrated that moderate increases in task engagement, or work rate, improved most performance metrics on a long duration (3-hr), militarily relevant vigilance task.

Factor analytic research of performance dimensions supports the concept that interpersonal task performance is a unique dimension of performance (e.g., Distefano & Pryer, 1986; Pulakos, Borman, & Hough, 1988). Latent models of job performance, however, have not necessarily separated the technical dimension of task performance from an interpersonal dimension of task performance (e.g. Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, & Sager, 1993). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare the fit of the Campbell et al. (1993) model with a modified model that also included an interpersonal task performance dimension. Results demonstrated that inclusion of a unique latent dimension for interpersonal task performance improved the fit of the model to data from a job with a high requirement for interpersonal performance. The implications of these results for understanding and summarizing performance are discussed.

This paper contains the results of a study, which has field tests and laboratory tests, concerning the effect of various amounts of aggregate, temperature variations, a polymer additive, and aging on the material properties of coal-tar emulsion mixtures. The material properties tests included thermal expansion, creep stiffness test, and by measuring tensile strength, the stress-strain relationships. The study results indicate that the thermal expansion of the mixtures increased with increasing amounts of coal-tar emulsion; however, this effect was slightly reduced with the addition of a polymer additive. Creep stiffness values increased with age and increasing amounts of aggregate in the mixture. The results of the stress-strain evaluation were not consistent. Increased amounts of aggregate, lower temperatures, and decreased amounts of polymer generally resulted in greater stress levels being achieved prior to failure.

A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 182 physical therapists in the uniformed services completed a standardized examination that assesses knowledge in managing musculoskeletal conditions. Physical therapists in the uniformed services who graduated from the U.S. Army-Baylor Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy or had attended a specific continuing medical education course that emphasizes the management of musculoskeletal conditions achieved higher scores and passing rates than their colleagues who had not. Compared with previously published data, physical therapists in the uniformed services demonstrated higher scores than medical students, physician interns and residents, active duty military physicians, and all physician specialists except for orthopedists, Physical therapists in the uniformed services have the requisite knowledge to provide direct access for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. These data may have implications for health and public policy decisions within the military health care system related to the utilization and educational preparation of physical therapists in the uniformed services.

Quantitative data are reported for aerosols produced by kinetic energy penetrators containing tungsten, nickel, and cobalt. The following are addressed: (1) concentrations and rates of particle settling inside the vehicle, (2) particle size distribution, (3) inhalable and respirable particulates, (4) distribution of aerosol particles by mass, and (5) particle shapes. The scenario described in this report simulates a rare occurrence. The lessons learned, however, highlight a requirement for developing protocols for analyses of metals in body fluids and urine as soon as practical, and also for implementing targeted postdeployment medical surveillance programs that monitor both body burden for respired metals and pulmonary function.

This study compares International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, data and emergency room records from three hospitals to determine the accuracy of data in ESSENCE. Of 2,474 records reviewed, inter-reviewer variability illustrated excellent consistency, ranging from 0.87 to 1.0. Gastrointestinal disease had the highest overall sensitivity (89.0%) and specificity (96.0%), likely due to less overlap with other groups, unlike the respiratory (sensitivity, 65.7%; specificity, 95.6%) and fever (sensitivity, 69.4%: specificity, 95.5%) groups, where symptoms of both are often seen in the same patient. This study concludes that data used by ESSENCE is accurate and reflects the types of patient visits to these facilities: valuable information for public health decision makers.

In climates with a near balance in the annual heating and cooling loads, they function essentially as a seasonal energy storage scheme. This paper presents an overview of the technology. The various types of geothermal heat pumps are explained along with their relative merits. Detailed discussion is included on the most common method of ground coupling for commercial scale applications, the vertical borehole heat exchanger. Issues with sizing the heat exchanger and grouting it are discussed, as well as the motivation for in situ thermal properties testing. In-building equipment, including the heat pumps themselves, is briefly described. Experience with geothermal heat pumps to date is presented for both residential and commercial scale applications. Regional market penetration and competitiveness are also discussed for both residential and commercial scale applications. The paper concludes that the overall outlook for expanded application of geothermal heat pumps is very favorable.

As the types of threats have diversified recently, e.g., improvised explosive devices and explosively formed projectiles, a proper set of ceramic material selection criteria is needed to design and optimize corresponding mitigating structures. However, the dynamic fracture and failure behavior of engineering ceramics is still not well understood. Using examples of thin ceramic plates and confined thick ceramics subjected to kinetic energy projectile impact, this article provides a brief summary on the current understanding of dynamic failure processes of ceramics under dynamic penetration loading conditions. Laboratory examination of dynamic fracture of ceramics is conducted using split Hopkinson bars with various loading rates, stress states, and loading histories.

As a result, measurement techniques are needed to accurately quantify ENP size, mass, and particle number distributions in biological matrices. This work combines single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICPMS) with tissue extraction to quantify and characterize metallic ENPs in environmentally relevant biological tissues for the first time. ENPs were extracted from tissues via alkaline digestion using tetramethylarnmonium hydroxide (TMAH). Method development was performed using ground beef and was verified in Daphnia magna and Lumbriculus variegatus. ENPs investigated include 100 and 60 nm Au and Ag stabilized by polyvynylpyrrolidone (PVP). Mass- and number-based recovery of spiked Au and Ag ENPs was high (83-121%) from all tissues tested. Additional experiments suggested ENP mixtures (60 and 100 nm Ag ENPs) could be extracted and quantitatively analyzed. Biological exposures were also conducted to verify the applicability of the method for aquatic organisms. Size distributions and particle number concentrations were determined for ENPs extracted from D. magna exposed to 98 μg/L 100 nm Au and 4.8 μg/L 100 nm Ag ENPs. The D. magna nanoparticulate body burden for Au ENP uptake was 613 ± 230 μg/kgww, while the measured nanoparticulate body burden for D. magna exposed to Ag ENPs was 59 ± 52 μg/kgww Notably, the particle size distributions determined from D. magna tissues suggested minimal shifts in the size distributions of ENPs accumulated, as compared to die exposure media.

Due to their extreme potency, ease of production, and duration of activity, the BoNT proteins have been classified by the Centers for Disease Control as high threat agents for bioterrorism. In an attempt to discover effective BoNT therapeutics, we have pursued a strategy in which we leverage the blockade of K+ channels that ultimately results in the reversal of neuromuscular paralysis. Towards this end, we utilized peptides derived from scorpion venom that are highly potent K+ channel blockers. Herein, we report the synthesis of charybdotoxin, a 37 amino acid peptide, and detail its activity, along with iberiotoxin and margatoxin, in a mouse phrenic nerve hemidiaphragm assay in the absence and the presence of BoNT/A.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2013/12/13/ VL - 54 IS - 26 M3 - Article SP - 7048 EP - 7057 SN - 00323861 AB - Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the high strain rate mechanical properties of a cross-linked epoxy system comprised of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) that is cross-linked by a poly(oxypropylene) diamine with three propylene oxide moieties per diamine. Atomistic network structures were characterized using volume-temperature behavior and their response to mechanical deformation. The Young's modulus was determined as a function of temperature across strain rates spanning three decades in magnitude, and collapsed onto a single “master curve” using the time–temperature superposition principle (TTSP). The master curve obtained from molecular dynamics simulation data shows good agreement with a similar master curve of the reduced storage modulus as a function of frequency, which was obtained using experiments. At higher strain rates, the simulation master curve deviated from the experimental master curve. This deviation could be attributed to the lack of occurrence of sub-T g motions on the time scale of simulations due to the use of higher strain rates in simulations compared to experiments. Our work demonstrates the utility of TTSP in connecting the thermo-mechanical behavior of polymers at high strain rates and high temperatures to experiments performed at much different conditions. To the best of our knowledge, the use of the time–temperature superposition to compare mechanical properties determined from molecular simulation and experiments is the first reported effort of its kind.

Thermal and flame-retardant analysis revealed an in-situ blending approach was optimal, which led to the generation of a nanocomposite, PS-Oxy-PAA/30B (5 wt.%), with comparable heat release capacity (170.5 J/g-K) and total heat release (12.0 kJ/g) as seen with some commercial polymers. Concomittant dispersion and FTIR analyses revealed that the enhanced thermal stability observed with PS-Oxy-PAA/30B (5 wt.%) is not dispersion related, since the organoclay was exfoliated in all composites formed. The driving force is the interaction between the carbonyl groups of the PS-Oxy-PAA and the hydroxyl groups of the organoclay, which is limited in all other cases. These results suggest judicious selection of organoclay and siloxane copolymers can faciliate the design of new environmentally safe, heat processible, nonhalogenated alternatives to traditional flame-retardant polymers.

In many cases these materials have shown a transition from an indirect band gap in the bulk to a direct band gap in monolayer systems. In this work we experimentally show that folding a 1H molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) layer results in a turbostratic stack with enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield and a significant shift to the blue by ∼90 meV. This is in contrast to the expected 2H-MoS2 band-structure characteristics, which include an indirect gap and quenched photoluminescence. We present a theoretical explanation for the origin of this behavior in terms of exciton screening.

The objective of this greenhouse study was to expose plants to various flooding and aqueous nitrogen (N) concentrations and then to quantify the allocation of nutrients and biomass to plant components. Plants in the continuously flooded treatment (CF) had the highest tissue concentrations of copper (Cu), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), potassium (K), sodium (Na), and manganese (Mn) in one or more plant components. Plants in the partially flooded treatment (PF) had the highest concentrations of magnesium (Mg) in leaves. The N input affected phosphorus (P) and S concentrations in roots. Leaf, stem, and root biomass were highest in PF plants. Rhizome biomass was the lowest in CF plants. These results indicate thatL. oryzoidesmay significantly affect elemental concentrations in surface waters by its ability to uptake various elements and subsequent sequestration in various biomass components.

We analyze the dependence of the damage patterns in the glass plate on the increasing impact velocities, from 61 m/s to 200 m/s. Experimental results are compared with those from peridynamic simulations of a simplified model. The main fracture patterns observed experimentally are captured by the peridynamic model for each of the three projectile velocities tested. More accurate implementation of the actual boundary conditions present in the experiments will likely further improve modeling of brittle damage from impact on a multi-layered system. The peridynamic computational model sheds light into the early stages of the complex brittle damage evolution in the glass layer, and the influence of boundary conditions on the dynamic fracture process.

Additionally, capacitive coupling between the field source and the sensors and related instrumentation tends to distort the measured field further. Sensor characterization includes not only calibration, but also determination of the frequency response (both magnitude and phase), noise power spectral density, dynamic range, and linearity. In this paper, we discuss characterization techniques for an unpackaged microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) electric field sensor in a vacuum chamber. The use of oppositely charged square plates at a spacing of half the plate width is advised by the IEEE 1308-1994 standard for generation of a uniform electric field. Previously, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has shown that by employing guard tubes in the construction of an electric field generating chamber, the fringing fields can be controlled, and the spacing between the endplates can be increased while maintaining a uniform field. A similar, smaller apparatus for generating a uniform axial electric field was constructed to fit into a vacuum bell jar. The considerations and techniques for minimizing error due to fringing and distortion from metal conductors will be presented, along with the techniques and laboratory equipment used for characterizing the sensor.

The PZT-on-silicon resonators rely on the odd harmonics of the contour length-extensional modes to provide a convenient means for voltage and current transformations with a single layer of piezoelectric PZT. The resistive-load-dependent voltage gains and efficiencies are derived along with the peak efficiencies and open circuit voltage gains. The models of efficiency and voltage gain are compared to the experimental measurements of fabricated PZT-on-silicon piezoelectric transformers with 2, 4, and 10 \mum of device silicon. The resonant frequencies of the devices range between 14 and 19 MHz. Peak efficiencies as high as 62% are measured and open circuit voltage gains as high as 5.7 are extracted from the measurements. The measured efficiencies with 50-\Omega loads compare within 14% of the models on average (25% peak error). The extracted open-circuit voltage gains and their models compare within 22% on average (67% peak error). The trade between the load-dependent efficiencies and voltage gains are also presented for the n=3, 5, 9, and 13 harmonics. \hfill[2012\-0339] [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - American Journal of Science JF - American Journal of Science Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 313 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 967 EP - 995 SN - 00029599 AB - Blueschist-facies metamorphism, which is associated with high pressure and low temperature subduction zone metamorphism, is usually recognized by the presence of the sodic-amphibole glaucophane. Determining the upper- and lower- pressure stability of end-member glaucophane places important constraints on the conditions of blueschist metamorphism. An experimental investigation into the upper-pressure stability of glaucophane has been done in the system Na2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O over the range of 600 to 750 °C and 2.5 to 4.5 GPa. Mixtures of synthetic glaucophane, jadeite, and talc were used to determine the location of the reaction boundary glaucophane = 2 jadeite + talc by reversing the sense of reaction direction. The upper-pressure stability of glaucophane is located over a pressure interval (0.2-0.3 GPa in width) whose midpoints lie at 2.6 GPa at 600 °C and at 3.1 GPa at 700 °C, across which the proportion of glaucophane decreases to zero as talc and jadeite increase. This band has a positive dP/dT slope of around 0.005 GPa/°C. Glaucophane showed the largest change in composition, consistent with the incorporation of significant amounts of the nyböite (17-34 mol%) and cummingtonite (10-18 mol%) components. Talc showed minor, but definite incorporation of Na (0.08 atoms per formula unit, apfu) and Al (0.15 apfu) consistent with incorporation of the components aspidolite and tschermak-talc. Jadeite displayed no clear change from its ideal composition. The results from this study were combined with the lower-pressure stability of glaucophane + quartz reported earlier by Corona and Jenkins (2007) to refine the thermodynamic values for glaucophane (ΔfH° = -11,956.36 kj/mol), report an initial set of values for the amphibole nyböite (ΔfH° = -12,165.85 kj/mol) and phyllosilicate aspidolite (ΔfH° = -6163.86 kj/mol), and to develop activity-composition relationships for both the amphibole and talc in this chemical system. The results of this study place an upper-pressure limit to a key index mineral of the blueschist-facies at about 3.2 GPa at 700 °C, which is just above the quartz-coesite transition, allowing nearly end-member glaucophane to remain stable up to the conditions of ultra-high-pressure metamorphism.

The capacitance and contact voltage of thin-film, PZT-based relays were measured following incremental ^60Co TID irradiations. The devices were held in several different bias conditions, during exposure. The direction of the biasing electric field during exposure, along with the polarization prior to exposure, has a measurable impact on post-irradiation operating voltage of the relay. In all cases, the switching voltage, as obtained via the peak values in a capacitance versus voltage sweep, shifted in a direction that would minimize the switching electric field in the direction of pre-exposure polarization. These effects were observed to be both significantly greater than the shifts experienced by a set of control samples, as well as reversible via aging at room temperature. The devices display remarkable robustness, operating during active TID exposure [dose rate = 855.6 rad(Si)/s], failing at a TID greater than 15 Mrad(Si).

JO - Intermetallics JF - Intermetallics Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 43 M3 - Article SP - 121 EP - 130 SN - 09669795 AB - Abstract: Cold spray was used to synthesize three intermetallic energetic materials from powders composed of mixed Ni/Al, mixed Ni/Al/MoO3, and Ni-clad Al. After bulk samples were produced, characterization was performed to determine their composition and reactivity. Ignition was achieved with a 30 W CO2 laser and propagation rates were measured using a high speed digital video camera. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to obtain energetic properties of the composites at slow heating rates. The energetic properties of cold sprayed samples were compared with lower density axially pressed pellets of identical composition. Samples composed of a mechanical blend of Ni and Al powders had higher reaction propagation rates at lower densities; with the near fully-dense cold spray samples having the lowest propagation rates. The opposite was found in samples composed of Ni-clad Al powders, with propagation rate increasing with increasing density for pellets, and reaching a maximum in the cold sprayed samples. The samples containing MoO3 had mixed results, with pellets experiencing higher propagation rates for all MoO3 contents' with increasing density, but cold sprayed samples having lower propagation rates as the MoO3 content increased.

JO - Journal of Applied Geophysics JF - Journal of Applied Geophysics Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 99 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 65 SN - 09269851 AB - Abstract: Near-surface seismic refraction and surface wave data were collected at a site to determine the feasibility and limitations of using these seismic methods to detect and localize a shallow tunnel in unconsolidated sediments. Data sets were collected both before and after the construction of the tunnel. We were able to detect the air-filled cavity using multichannel analysis of surface waves. The refraction tomography results showed the tunnel location in the raypath coverage plots, but only small velocity variations were observed. In tandem the two methods would reduce false positives, but individually the false alarm rate would likely be high due to non-uniqueness of the results. In this geologic setting, these methods are not the best choice of geophysical methods to detect clandestine tunnels and should be combined with other geophysical techniques to improve and constrain interpretations.

JO - Geo-Marine Letters JF - Geo-Marine Letters Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 33 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 477 EP - 484 SN - 02760460 AB - Under conditions common in muddy coastal and estuarine environments, acoustic Doppler velocimeters (ADVs) can serve to estimate sediment settling velocity ( w) by assuming a balance between upward turbulent Reynolds flux and downward gravitational settling. Advantages of this method include simple instrument deployment, lack of flow disturbance, and relative insensitivity to biofouling and water column stratification. Although this method is being used with increasing frequency in coastal and estuarine environments, to date it has received little direct ground truthing. This study compared in situ estimates of w inferred by a 5-MHz ADV to independent in situ observations from a high-definition video settling column over the course of a flood tide in the bottom boundary layer of the York River estuary, Virginia, USA. The ADV-based measurements were found to agree with those of the settling column when the current speed at about 40 cm above the bed was greater than about 20 cm/s. This corresponded to periods when the estimated magnitude of the settling term in the suspended sediment continuity equation was four or more times larger than the time rate of change of concentration. For ADV observations restricted to these conditions, ADV-based estimates of w (mean 0.48±0.04 mm/s) were highly consistent with those observed by the settling column (mean 0.45±0.02 mm/s). However, the ADV-based method for estimating w was sensitive to the prescribed concentration of the non-settling washload, C. In an objective operational definition, C can be set equal to the lowest suspended solids concentration observed around slack water.

JO - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer JF - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 131 M3 - Article SP - 215 EP - 233 SN - 00224073 AB - Abstract: Measurement of two-dimensional angle-resolved optical scattering (TAOS) patterns is an attractive technique for detecting and characterizing micron-sized airborne particles. In general, the interpretation of these patterns and the retrieval of the particle refractive index, shape or size alone, are difficult problems. By reformulating the problem in statistical learning terms, a solution is proposed herewith: rather than identifying airborne particles from their scattering patterns, TAOS patterns themselves are classified through a learning machine, where feature extraction interacts with multivariate statistical analysis. Feature extraction relies on spectrum enhancement, which includes the discrete cosine Fourier transform and non-linear operations. Multivariate statistical analysis includes computation of the principal components and supervised training, based on the maximization of a suitable figure of merit. All algorithms have been combined together to analyze TAOS patterns, organize feature vectors, design classification experiments, carry out supervised training, assign unknown patterns to classes, and fuse information from different training and recognition experiments. The algorithms have been tested on a data set with more than 3000 TAOS patterns. The parameters that control the algorithms at different stages have been allowed to vary within suitable bounds and are optimized to some extent. Classification has been targeted at discriminating aerosolized Bacillus subtilis particles, a simulant of anthrax, from atmospheric aerosol particles and interfering particles, like diesel soot. By assuming that all training and recognition patterns come from the respective reference materials only, the most satisfactory classification result corresponds to 20% false negatives from B. subtilis particles and false positives from all other aerosol particles. The most effective operations have consisted of thresholding TAOS patterns in order to reject defective ones, and forming training sets from three or four pattern classes. The presented automated classification method may be adapted into a real-time operation technique, capable of detecting and characterizing micron-sized airborne particles.

We analyze their kernel constructions and demonstrate their effectiveness through several experiments on classification problems.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 27 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 5104 EP - 5111 AB - This study was undertaken to characterize the ubiquitin proteasome system (LIPS) response to varied dietary protein intake, energy deficit (ED), and consumption of a mixed meal. A randomized, controlled trial of 39 adults consuming protein at 0.8 (recommended dietary allowance [RDA]), 1.6 (2x-RDA), or 2.4 (3x-RDA) g ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1 for 31 d. A 10-d weight maintenance (WM) period was followed by 21 d of 40% ED. Ubiquitin (Ub)-mediated proteolysis and associated gene expression were assessed in the post-absorptive (fasted) and postprandial (fed; 480 kcal, 20 g protein) states after WM and ED by using muscle biopsies, fluorescence-based assays, immunoblot analysis, and real-time qRT-PCR. In the assessment of LIPS responses to varied protein intakes, ED, and feeding, the RDA, WM, and fasted measures served as appropriate controls. ED resulted in the up-regulation of UPS-associated gene expression, as mRNA expression of the mrogenes muscle RING finger-1 (MuRF1) and atrogirvl were 1.2- and 1.3-fold higher (P<0.05) for ED than for WM. However, mixed-meal consumption attenuated UPS-mediated proteolysis, independent of energy status or dietary protein, as the activities of the 26S proteasome subunits β1, β2, and β5 were lower (P<0.05) for fed than for fasted. Muscle protein ubiquitylation was also 45% lower (P<0.05) for fed than for fasted, regardless of dietary protein and energy manipulations. Independent of habitual protein intake and despite increased MuRF1 and atrogin-1 mRNA expression during ED, consuming a protein-containing mixed meal attenuates Ub-mediated proteolysis.

T1 - Lessons Learned from the First Decade of Adaptive Management in Comprehensive Everglades Restoration. JO - Ecology & Society JF - Ecology & Society Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 17083087 AB - Although few successful examples of large-scale adaptive management applications are available to ecosystem restoration scientists and managers, examining where and how the components of an adaptive management program have been successfully implemented yields insight into what approaches have and have not worked. We document five key lessons learned during the decade-long development and implementation of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Collaborative Adaptive Management Program that might be useful to other adaptive management practitioners. First, legislative and regulatory authorities that require the development of an adaptive management program are necessary to maintain funding and support to set up and implement adaptive management. Second, integration of adaptive management activities into existing institutional processes, and development of technical guidance, helps to ensure that adaptive management activities are understood and roles and responsibilities are clearly articulated so that adaptive management activities are implemented successfully. Third, a strong applied science framework is critical for establishing a prerestoration ecosystem reference condition and understanding of how the system works, as well as for providing a conduit for incorporating new scientific information into the decision-making process. Fourth, clear identification of uncertainties that pose risks to meeting restoration goals helps with the development of hypothesis-driven strategies to inform restoration planning and implementation. Tools such as management options matrices can provide a coherent way to link hypotheses to specific monitoring efforts and options to adjust implementation if performance goals are not achieved. Fifth, independent external peer review of an adaptive management program provides important feedback critical to maintaining and improving adaptive management implementation for ecosystem restoration. These lessons learned have helped shape the CERP Adaptive Management Program and are applicable to other natural resource management and restoration efforts; they can be used to help guide development and implementation of adaptive management programs facing similar challenges.

The remote locations and cold climate of Alaska provide unique challenges associated with phytoremediation such as finding effective plant species that can achieve successful site cleanup despite the extreme environmental conditions and with minimal site management. A long-term assessment of phytoremediation was performed which capitalized on a study established in Fairbanks in 1995. The original study sought to determine how the introduction of plants (Festuca rubra, Lolium multiflorum), nutrients (fertilizer), or their combination would affect degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminated soils (crude oil or diesel) over time. Within the year following initial treatments, the plots subjected to both planting and/or fertilization showed greater overall decreases in TPH concentrations in both the diesel and crude oil contaminated soils relative to untreated plots. We re-examined this field site after 15years with no active site management to assess the long-term effects of phytoremediation on colonization by native and non-native plants, their rhizosphere microbial communities and on petroleum removal from soil. Native and non-native vegetation had extensively colonized the site, with more abundant vegetation being present on the diesel contaminated soils than the more nutrient poor, more coarse, and acidic crude oil contaminated soils. TPH concentrations achieved regulatory cleanup levels in all treatment groups, with lower TPH concentrations correlating with higher amounts of woody vegetation (trees & shrubs). In addition, original treatment type has affected vegetation recruitment to each plot with woody vegetation and more native plants in unfertilized plots. Bacterial community structure also varies according to the originally applied treatments. This study suggests that initial treatment with native tree species in combination with grasses could be an effective means for phytoremediating petroleum contaminated soils and promoting ecological recovery in cold regions.

JO - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science JF - Estuarine Coastal & Shelf Science Y1 - 2013/11/20/ VL - 133 M3 - Article SP - 251 EP - 259 SN - 02727714 AB - Abstract: Winter flounder habitat use in New York/New Jersey Harbor was examined through a long-term (2002–2010) bottom trawl sampling program (Aquatic Biological Survey) in which 5234 winter flounder were captured in 2069 samples collected at approximately 26 stations throughout the harbor. Interannual variability in catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) primarily was attributable to fluctuations in Year-1 juvenile CPUE, which was positively correlated with total annual egg abundances from the previous year. Adult male CPUE during the spawning season was positively correlated with total egg abundances of the same year, whereas adult female CPUE was unrelated to annual egg abundances in the harbor. Annual variation in adult male densities in the harbor during the spawning season reflects the intensity of estuarine spawning activity, whereas adult female densities may include non-reproductive, foraging individuals. Seasonal fluctuations in condition indices reflected energy use during the spawning season, with relatively high condition in January, reduced levels in March and April, and elevated condition again in May. Adult CPUE peaked in April, coincident with the critical feeding period that follows spawning. Mean April water temperatures were positively correlated with egg abundances the following year and Year-1 juvenile CPUE two years later. A similar correlation between April temperatures and Year-1 juvenile abundances two years later was demonstrated using published data for winter flounder collected in Niantic Bay, CT. Higher April water temperatures may enhance benthic secondary production during the critical feeding period, and thus increase prey availability for foraging adults that need to restore energy reserves in order to reproduce the following year. A direct examination of benthic secondary production and variation in winter flounder estuarine foraging and subsequent spawning activity is needed to more fully understand this relationship.

JO - Journal of Computational Physics JF - Journal of Computational Physics Y1 - 2013/11/15/ VL - 253 M3 - Article SP - 308 EP - 343 SN - 00219991 AB - Abstract: We present an efficient computational approach to perform real-space electronic structure calculations using an adaptive higher-order finite-element discretization of Kohn–Sham density-functional theory (DFT). To this end, we develop an a priori mesh-adaption technique to construct a close to optimal finite-element discretization of the problem. We further propose an efficient solution strategy for solving the discrete eigenvalue problem by using spectral finite-elements in conjunction with Gauss–Lobatto quadrature, and a Chebyshev acceleration technique for computing the occupied eigenspace. The proposed approach has been observed to provide a staggering 100–200-fold computational advantage over the solution of a generalized eigenvalue problem. Using the proposed solution procedure, we investigate the computational efficiency afforded by higher-order finite-element discretizations of the Kohn–Sham DFT problem. Our studies suggest that staggering computational savings—of the order of 1000-fold—relative to linear finite-elements can be realized, for both all-electron and local pseudopotential calculations, by using higher-order finite-element discretizations. On all the benchmark systems studied, we observe diminishing returns in computational savings beyond the sixth-order for accuracies commensurate with chemical accuracy, suggesting that the hexic spectral-element may be an optimal choice for the finite-element discretization of the Kohn–Sham DFT problem. A comparative study of the computational efficiency of the proposed higher-order finite-element discretizations suggests that the performance of finite-element basis is competing with the plane-wave discretization for non-periodic local pseudopotential calculations, and compares to the Gaussian basis for all-electron calculations to within an order of magnitude. Further, we demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach to compute the electronic structure of a metallic system containing 1688 atoms using modest computational resources, and good scalability of the present implementation up to 192 processors.

JO - Molecular Simulation JF - Molecular Simulation Y1 - 2013/11/15/ VL - 39 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 1103 EP - 1120 SN - 08927022 AB - A molecular-level simulation study of the effects of confinement on chemical reaction equilibrium and diffusion in both slit and cylindrical nanopores is presented. First, the reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC) method is implemented to investigate the effects of nanopore size and geometry, and bulk pressure on the model dimerisation reaction,, in slit and cylindrical nanopores in equilibrium with a vapour-phase reservoir. After determining the reaction equilibrium concentrations in the nanopore phase from RxMC simulations, canonical molecular dynamics (MD) is implemented to study the diffusion of fluid mixtures with concentrations matching the final average concentrations from the RxMC simulations. The canonical MD simulations mimic a diffusion-limited reacting system, where it is assumed that the reaction rates are very fast relative to the diffusion, and therefore assumed that chemical equilibrium is effectively maintained and unperturbed at all times in the system. The diffusion is analysed in terms of the overall and space-dependent mean-square displacement and corresponding self-diffusion coefficients. Monomers and dimers are treated as Lennard-Jones (LJ) and two-centre LJ fluids, respectively, while the interactions of the fluids with the nanopore walls are modelled using the Steele 10-4-3 potential. The model parameters and state conditions are chosen in order to enhance reaction conversions in the nanopore phase with respect to the bulk vapour phase. The main result of this work is a relation between the space-dependent diffusion and the structure of the reacting fluids within the nanopores.

The military is an organization with a unique professional and social organization. Evaluating military attitudes from a network perspective may offer insight into the role of formal and informal leadership in engendering attitudinal change and cultural tolerance around homosexuality. This study evaluates the role of network centrality and network exposure across formal (command networks) and informal (friendship and perceived leadership networks) structures on attitudes toward homosexuality in the military. This work analyzes survey data from a single cadet company within the U.S. Military Academy (n = 139) prior to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Results indicate that popular students tend to show tolerance toward homosexuality, whereas those who hold command leadership positions are more likely to have personal and professional opposition to homosexuality. In addition, formal superior–subordinate relationships are somewhat more likely to suggest social contagion compared to informal leadership and friendship relationships. Recommendations offer guidance for training strategies particularly with respect to a military leaders and socialization. Future research should monitor these issues relative to the post-DADT environment.

JO - Applied Acoustics JF - Applied Acoustics Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 74 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1279 EP - 1296 SN - 0003682X AB - Abstract: Measurements of seismic signatures produced by airborne, near-surface detonations of explosive charges over a variety of ground types show two distinct ground vibration arrivals. In all cases, the earlier arrival (precursor), has a time of arrival consistent with a predominantly underground path and coupling of blast sound to the ground close to the source and is always much smaller than the later vibration, the time of arrival of which is consistent with coupling from the air blast arrival at the receiver. The ratio of the seismic particle velocity to the acoustic pressure at the surface for the air-coupled seismic wave is constant with respect to distance and maximum pressure at a given location, but varies from site to site, with values usually between 1 and 13μms−1 Pa−1. For the precursor seismic wave, a coupling coefficient of 0.16μms−1 Pa−1 was measured. A numerical code enabling calculations of the fields due to an impulsive source above a layered poroelastic ground is described. Predictions of the air pressure spectrum above ground and the vertical and radial components of solid particle velocity near the ground surface are found to compare tolerably well with the measured spectra and waveforms of acoustic and seismic pulses at about 100m range in seismically-hard and -soft soils and with a snow cover present. The predicted seismic responses in ‘soft’ soil confirm that the existence of a near-surface S-wave speed less than that in air is responsible for the observed ‘ringing’, i.e. a long low-frequency wavetrain associated with coupling to the dispersive Rayleigh wave. The predicted seismic pulses in the presence of the (shallow) snow cover explain the observed phenomenon whereby a high frequency ground vibration is modulated by a lower frequency layer resonance. An empirical equation relating ground vibration from explosions to distance predicts that the commonly-used vibrational damage peak velocity criterion of 12 or 25mms−1 will be exceeded when the peak positive pressure exceeds 480Pa (147.6dB) or 1kPa (154.0dB), respectively. Either of these levels is much higher than the current U.S. Army overpressure damage criterion of 159Pa (138dB). Thus in most situations damage from blast overpressure will occur long before damaging levels of ground vibration are reached, so it is likely that civilian perceptions of vibration are produced by coupling from the airblast.

Baseline testing included a subjective history of instability, instability testing by a sports medicine fellowship–trained orthopaedic surgeon, range of motion, strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer, and bilateral noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. A musculoskeletal radiologist measured glenoid version, height, depth, rotator interval (RI) height, RI width, RI area, and RI index. Participants were followed to document all acute posterior shoulder instability events during the 4-year follow-up period. The time to the posterior shoulder instability event during the follow-up period was the primary outcome of interest. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the data.Results:Complete data on 714 participants were obtained. During the 4-year surveillance period, 46 shoulders sustained documented glenohumeral instability events, of which only 7 were posterior in direction. The baseline factors that were associated with subsequent posterior instability during follow-up were increased glenoid retroversion (P < .0001), increased external rotation strength in adduction (P = .029) and at 45° of abduction (P = .015), and increased internal rotation strength in adduction (P = .038).Conclusion:This is the largest known prospective study to follow healthy participants in the development of posterior shoulder instability. Posterior instability represents 10% of all instability events. The most significant risk factor was increased glenoid retroversion. While increased internal/external strength was also associated with subsequent instability, it is unclear whether these strength differences are causative or reactive to the difference in glenoid anatomy. This work confirms that increased glenoid retroversion is a significant prospective risk factor for posterior instability.

JO - Analytical Biochemistry JF - Analytical Biochemistry Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 442 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 62 EP - 67 SN - 00032697 AB - Abstract: Microarrays of peptide and recombinant protein libraries are routinely used for high-throughput studies of protein–protein interactions and enzymatic activities. Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is currently applied as a method to localize analytes on thin tissue sections and other surfaces. Here, we have applied IMS as a label-free means to analyze protein–peptide interactions in a microarray-based phosphatase assay. This IMS strategy visualizes the entire microarray in one composite image by collecting a predefined raster of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI–TOF) mass spectrometry spectra over the surface of the chip. Examining the bacterial tyrosine phosphatase YopH, we used IMS as a label-free means to visualize enzyme binding and activity with a microarrayed phosphopeptide library printed on chips coated with either gold or indium–tin oxide. Furthermore, we demonstrate that microarray-based IMS can be coupled with surface plasmon resonance imaging to add kinetic analyses to measured binding interactions. The method described here is within the capabilities of many modern MALDI–TOF instruments and has general utility for the label-free analysis of microarray assays.

JO - Journal of Wildlife Management JF - Journal of Wildlife Management Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 77 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1618 EP - 1625 SN - 0022541X AB - We recorded 94 sound-response events at 3 adult-occupied northern goshawk ( Accipiter gentilis) nests 78 m, 143 m, and 167 m from the nearest United States Forest Service maintenance level 3, improved gravel road on the Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona. During 4 test sessions on 7, 8, 10, and 11 June 2010, we recorded 60 experimentally controlled logging trucks; 30 non-experimental, civilian, fixed-winged aircraft; 3 non-experimental, passing cars; and 1 all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Logging truck sound, principally engine and exhaust, was concentrated in the 63 Hz and 80 Hz, 1/3-octave frequency bands. Aircraft sound was concentrated in the 100 Hz and 125 Hz, 1/3-octave frequency bands. Logging truck noise levels varied among nest sites and with distance from roads. At 167 m from the closest road, the logging truck averaged approximately 8 decibels (dB, all decibel levels C-weighted, adjusted, 1 s, equivalent sound level, CLEQ) quieter than aircraft. At 143 m, the logging truck was approximately 3 dB quieter than passing aircraft. Only at 78 m was logging truck noise louder on average than aircraft, by approximately 6 dB. Average aircraft noise levels for each day of testing ranged between 45.6 dB and 67.9 dB and when averaged across the entire study period, varied little among the 3 test sites, 60.1-65.6 dB. On average, our test logging truck (61.9 dB) was no louder than passing aircraft (62.3 dB), which goshawks generally ignored. The logging truck resulted in 27% no response and 73% alert (head turning) response, passing aircraft resulted in 90% no response and only 10% alert response, and the cars and ATV combined resulted in 50% each for no response and alert response. Goshawk alert response rates were inversely proportional to nest distance from the nearest road, decreasing from 91% to 57% alert between 78 m and 167 m. No movements or flushes were associated with either our experimental testing or passive recording of other vehicular noise stimuli. All tested pairs of goshawks successfully fledged young. Because logging truck noise had no effect on northern goshawks nesting along level 3, improved gravel roads on the Kaibab Plateau, restriction of log hauling and other road-based travel activities on similar roads within post-fledging family areas (PFAs) appears unnecessary based on the type and extent of our testing. © 2013 The Wildlife Society.

Life-saving interventions (LSIs) were chosen as an endpoint because performance of LSIs is a critical aspect of trauma patient care. Noise was modeled and simulated by modifying original R-R interval (RRI) sequences via decimation, concatenation, and division of RRIs, as well as R-wave detection using the electrocardiogram. Results showed that under increasing simulated noise, entropy and autocorrelation measures can still effectively discriminate between LSI and non-LSI patients and monitor individuals over time.

The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a greater occurrence in women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor units of the VM and VMO are differentially recruited and if this recruitment pattern has an effect of sex or menstrual cycle phase. METHODS: Single motor unit recordings from the VM and VMO were obtained for men and women during an isometric ramp knee extension. Eleven men were tested once. Seven women were tested during five different phases of the menstrual cycle, determined by basal body temperature mapping. The recruitment threshold and the initial firing rate at recruitment were determined from 510 motor unit recordings. RESULTS: The initial firing rate was lower in the VMO than that in the VM in women (P < 0.001) but not in men. There was no difference in recruitment thresholds for the VM and VMO in either sex or across the menstrual cycle. There was a main effect of menstrual phase on initial firing rate, showing increases from the early follicular to late luteal phase (P = 0.003). The initial firing rate in the VMO was lower than that in the VM during ovulatory (P = 0.009) and midluteal (P = 0.009) phases. CONCLUSION: The relative control of the VM and VMO changes across the menstrual cycle. This could influence patellar pathologies that have a higher incidence in women.

JO - European Journal of Applied Physiology JF - European Journal of Applied Physiology Y1 - 2013/11// VL - 113 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2655 EP - 2672 SN - 14396319 AB - Modern international military deployments in austere environments (i.e., Iraq and Afghanistan) place considerable physiological demands on soldiers. Significant physiological challenges exist: maintenance of physical fitness and body composition, rigors of external load carriage, environmental extremes (heat, cold, and altitude), medical illnesses, musculoskeletal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, and environmental exposure hazards (i.e., burn pits, vehicle exhaust, etc.). To date there is very little published research and no comprehensive reviews on the physiological effects of deployments. The purpose of this paper is to overview what is currently known from the literature related mainly to current military conflicts with regard to the challenges and consequences from deployments. Summary findings include: (1) aerobic capacity declines while muscle strength, power and muscular endurance appear to be maintained, (2) load carriage continues to tax the physical capacities of the Soldier, (3) musculoskeletal injuries comprise the highest proportion of all injury categories, (4) environmental insults occur from both terrestrial extremes and pollutant exposure, and (5) post-deployment concerns linger for traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. A full understanding of these responses will assist in identifying the most effective risk mitigation strategies to ensure deployment readiness and to assist in establishment of military employment standards.

To develop a consensus statement, potential benefits, risks, and strategies to optimize military performance through PS use were considered in the context of specific warfighter populations and occupational demands. To maintain muscle mass, strength, and performance during periods of substantial metabolic demand and concomitant negative energy balance the panel recommended that warfighters consume 1.5-2.0 g · kg-1 ·d-1 of protein. However, if metabolic demand is low, such as in garrison, protein intake should equal the current Military Dietary Reference Intake (0.8-1.5 g · kg-1 · d-1). Although PS use generally appears to be safe for healthy adults, warfighters should be educated on PS quality, given quality-control and contamination concerns with commercial dietary supplements. To achieve recommended protein intakes, the panel strongly urges consumption of high-quality protein-containing whole foods. However, when impractical, the use of PSs (20-25 g per serving or 0.25-0.3 g · kg-1 per meal), particularly after periods of strenuous physical activity (e.g., military training, combat patrols, and exercise), is acceptable. The committee acknowledges the need for further study of protein requirements for extreme, military-specific environmental conditions and whether unique metabolic stressors associated with military service alter protein requirements for aging warfighters.

Although Drill Sergeant qualities have been widely portrayed in popular media, there is very little empirical research that documents the characteristics of Drill Sergeants and the impact these characteristics may have on trainees. In this study we evaluated a measure of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities and the degree to which these qualities related to mental health symptoms and job-related outcomes of trainees. Three types of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities were found from factor analyses: motivation, respect, and toughness. Using latent growth curve analyses, higher initial scores on motivation and respect, but not toughness, were associated with greater decreases in mental health symptoms over time. Further, changes in perceived Drill Sergeant qualities related to changes in depressive symptoms, unit cohesion, and citizen behaviors assessed over the course of basic combat training.

The predominant stacking faults have I1 character and behave as an array of spontaneously forming layers comprised of a single cubic stacking sequence within the wurtzite matrix that terminate the spontaneous polarization along the in-plane c-axis, leading to strong lateral electric fields. Spectral tuning of femtosecond excitation pulses enables observation of the transition from carrier transport in the continuum to formation of instantaneous dipoles and nonlinear susceptibility associated with both the quantum-well-like regions of the cubic layers and polarization-induced triangular-like potentials.

Magnesium used in this investigation was recovered from four different illuminating pyrotechnic munitions by means of an environmentally friendly demilitarization process. Despite significant differences in the particle size and purity between the four lots of recovered magnesium, the performance of each lot-on evaluation in the M127A1 US Army yellow-light-emitting illuminant configuration-exceeded the military requirement and performance of the virgin magnesium-containing control. All formulations were found to have low sensitivities to various ignition stimuli and possessed high thermal onset temperatures. In addition to the military significance, this demonstrated 'green' pyrotechnics technology of using recycled magnesium in illuminating pyrotechnics may also be of interest to the civilian fireworks community.

Based on interpreting the seminal work of Magnanti and Wong (Operations Research, 29(3), 464-484, ) for generating nondominated cuts within a multiobjective framework, we propose an algorithmic strategy that utilizes a preemptively small perturbation of the right-hand-side of the Benders subproblem to generate maximal nondominated Benders cuts, as well as a complimentary strategy that generates an additional cut in each iteration via an alternative emphasis on decision variable weights. We also examine the computational effectiveness of solving a secondary subproblem using an objective cut as proposed by Magnanti and Wong versus identifying the Pareto-optimality region for cut generation by utilizing complementary slackness conditions. In addition, we exhibit how a standard feasibility cut can be extracted from the solution of subproblems that generate only optimality cuts through the use of artificial variables. With Magnanti and Wong's baseline procedure approximated during implementation via the use of a core point estimation technique (Papadakos in Computers and Operations Research, 36(1), 176-195, ), these algorithmic strategies are tested on instances from the literature concerning the fixed charge network flow program.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2013/10/18/ VL - 54 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 6218 EP - 6225 SN - 00323861 AB - Abstract: The dynamical heterogeneity in a series of 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate-diethyltoluenediamine-poly(tetramethylene oxide) based poly(urethane urea) (PUU) elastomers was studied by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. Extensive phase mixing was evidenced by the 1H wideline signal, which can be approximately fitted by a single exponential model. 13C T1 relaxation time measurements indicate that the hard segments (HS) exhibit some small-amplitude mobility, likely “activated” by neighboring soft segments (SS). Fitting of the time-domain wideline separation (TD-WISE) data was employed to characterize the extent of phase mixing, which revealed that a PUU elastomer contains four fractions: rigid-HS, mobile-HS, rigid-SS, and mobile-SS regions. For a variety of SS MWs, the dynamics and relative portions of rigid vs. mobile fractions among HS were substantially similar, while those for the SS exhibit large contrast. Furthermore, the dynamics in the rigid-SS fraction is at least an order of magnitude slower than that in mobile-SS for all PUUs. Greater phase-mixing substantially lowers the SS mobility, facilitating SS to undergo glass transition at high strain rates, thus can be key to enhancing dynamic mechanical strengthening.

T1 - Physiological and Transcriptional Responses to Osmotic Stress of Two Pseudomonas syringae Strains That Differ in Epiphytic Fitness and Osmotolerance. JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2013/10/15/ VL - 195 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 4742 EP - 4752 SN - 00219193 AB - The foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is a useful model for understanding the role of stress adaptation in leaf colonization. We investigated the mechanistic basis of differences in the osmotolerance of two P. syringae strains, B728a and DC3000. Consistent with its higher survival rates following inoculation onto leaves, B728a exhibited superior osmotolerance over DC3000 and higher rates of uptake of plant-derived osmoprotective compounds. A global transcriptome analysis of B728a and DC3000 following an osmotic upshift demonstrated markedly distinct responses between the strains; B728a showed primarily upregulation of genes, including components of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) and alginate biosynthetic pathways, whereas DC3000 showed no change or repression of orthologous genes, including downregulation of the T3SS. DC3000 uniquely exhibited improved growth upon deletion of the biosynthetic genes for the compatible solute N-acetylglutaminylglutamine amide (NAGGN) in a minimal medium, due possibly to NAGGN synthesis depleting the cellular glutamine pool. Both strains showed osmoreduction of glnA1 expression, suggesting that decreased glutamine synthetase activity contributes to glutamate accumulation as a compatible solute, and both strains showed osmoinduction of 5 of 12 predicted hydrophilins. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the superior epiphytic competence of B728a is consistent with its strong osmotolerance, a proactive response to an osmotic upshift, osmoinduction of alginate synthesis and the T6SS, and resiliency of the T3SS to water limitation, suggesting sustained T3SS expression under the water-limited conditions encountered during leaf colonization.

The usual practice is to select a purely empirical estimate of particle diameter marking the transition between the two behaviors. Based on available data on particle erosion and deposition in non-oscillating flows and viscoplastic properties of bed sediment, we have attempted to examine the likelihood of identifying the transition diameter within a less empirical framework. From the relationship between diameter and bed shear stress for a variety of cohesive and cohesionless sediments, it appears that two transition diameters can be defined. One is the largest diameter of clay mineral particles at which cohesion is considered to vanish. The other is the smallest diameter at which cohesionless behavior is assumed to end at the limit of the well-known Shields' relationship extended to very fine particles. These two diameters appear to be reasonably close for mainly inorganic mineral sediments. Assuming they are equal, six zones of bed exchange are identified in terms of diameter and bed shear stress. Depending on these two variables, zones of only erosion, no erosion or deposition, and only deposition can be designated. Realistic modeling of bed exchange of multi-size sediments requires that the full range of diameters be considered. Extension of this analysis to organic-rich sediments is pending better understanding of their rheological properties.

We demonstrate an application of enhanced adaptive management for a wetland restoration case study inspired by the Florida Everglades restoration effort. We find that alternatives designed to reconstruct the pre-drainage flow may have a positive ecological impact, but may also have high operational costs and only marginally contribute to meeting other objectives such as reduction of flooding. Enhanced adaptive management allows managers to guide investment in ecosystem modeling and monitoring efforts through scenario and value of information analyses to support optimal restoration strategies in the face of uncertain and changing information [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Scientific Reports is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

In an effort to increase reaction rates between cyclic carbonates and amines to lower cure times and increase molecular weights, various organocatalysts were surveyed. Reaction rates between monofunctional model cyclic carbonates and amines were determined in the presence of a variety of organocatalysts, which operate under different mechanisms to promote the reaction. Of the catalysts investigated, TBD was the most potent, presumably due to its bifunctional activity. TBD was also used to promote step-growth polymerization between difunctional cyclic carbonates and amines. The polymers produced in the presence of TBD at room temperature were much higher in molecular weight than polymers produced in the absence of catalyst at both room temperature and at 80 °C.

For example, impairment may stem from spatial perspective switches between route-based aids and survey-based memory assessments. Further, the verbal format of aid instructions may selectively interfere with verbal working memory (VWM). To address these potential explanations, participants navigated desktop virtual environments in a goal-directed manner. In each within-participants condition, participants either navigated with a verbal or tonal aid that presented mixed spatial perspective instructions or without aid. Both aids yielded slight navigational advantages and steep spatial memory costs despite their mixed perspective instructions. The equivalent impairment between information formats suggests navigational aids impair spatial memory by dividing attention rather than selective interference of VWM.

Participants with low versus high math anxiety performed a timed arithmetic task after practicing one of three short-term breathing exercises promoting focused attention, unfocused attention, or worry, and after consuming either 0 or 200mg l-theanine. Overall, participants with high math anxiety underperformed relative to those with low math anxiety. This effect, however, was largely alleviated by a focused breathing exercise, which increased rated calmness and enhanced performance on the arithmetic test amongst those with high math anxiety. l-theanine supplementation showed only minimal effects. These results provide insights into the attentional mechanisms involved in regulating the negative emotions that lead to testing underperformance, and suggest that focused breathing exercises can be a useful, practical tool for helping address the negative impacts of math anxiety.

A photon Doppler velocimeter (PDV) is used to measure particle velocity at the location of each strain-gage. These measurements are used with the measured strain to separate wave-trains that in general exist in each bar (for example, an incident and reflected pulse) even when they are superimposed at the gage location. This can extend the duration of the experiment and permit more freedom in the types of loadings that can be applied to a specimen. It was found that the PDV measurement of particle velocity often contains a significant component due to bending waves. A method to account for bending is described but requires multiple PDV measurements at each gage position.

T1 - Readiness and DADT Repeal: Has the New Policy of Open Service Undermined the Military? JO - Armed Forces & Society (0095327X) JF - Armed Forces & Society (0095327X) Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 587 EP - 601 SN - 0095327X AB - Prior to the repeal of “don't ask, don't tell” (DADT) on September 20, 2011, many observers predicted that allowing lesbian, gay and bisexual troops to serve openly would harm the military, and a group of more than 1,000 retired general and flag officers predicted that repeal could “break the All-Volunteer Force.” This study is the first scholarly effort to assess the accuracy of such predictions about the impact of DADT repeal on military readiness. We conducted our research during the half-year period starting six months after repeal and concluding at the one year mark, and we pursued ten separate research strategies including in-depth interviews, survey analysis, on-site field observations, pretest/posttest quasi experimentation, secondary source analysis, and a comprehensive review of media articles. Our goal was to maximize the likelihood of identifying evidence of damage caused by repeal, and we made vigorous efforts to collect data from repeal opponents including anti-repeal generals and admirals, activists, academic experts, service members and watchdog organizations. Our conclusion, based on all of the evidence available to us, is that DADT repeal has had no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment, or morale. If anything, DADT repeal appears to have enhanced the military's ability to pursue its mission.

Arrays of 100 sensors were arranged in square configurations with sensor spacing of 2 m. Wind noise data were collected at one site. Synthetic infrasound signals were superposed on top of the wind noise to determine the accuracy and sensitivity of the technique with respect to signal-to-noise ratio. The technique was then applied to an impulsive event recorded at a different site. Preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of this approach.

JO - Information Fusion JF - Information Fusion Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 14 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 431 EP - 440 SN - 15662535 AB - Abstract: In this paper, we propose a multiple-metric learning algorithm to learn jointly a set of optimal homogenous/heterogeneous metrics in order to fuse the data collected from multiple sensors for joint classification. The learned metrics have the potential to perform better than the conventional Euclidean metric for classification. Moreover, in the case of heterogenous sensors, the learned multiple metrics can be quite different, which are adapted to each type of sensor. By learning the multiple metrics jointly within a single unified optimization framework, we can learn better metrics to fuse the multi-sensor data for a joint classification. Furthermore, we also exploit multi-metric learning in a kernel induced feature space to capture the non-linearity in the original feature space via kernel mapping.

JO - Telemedicine & e-Health JF - Telemedicine & e-Health Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 19 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 746 EP - 753 SN - 15305627 AB - Objective: Many developing countries have shown interest in embracing telemedicine and incorporating it into their healthcare systems. In 2000, the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) initiated a program to assist the Republic of Panama in establishing a demonstration Panamanian rural telemedicine program. YPG engaged the Arizona Telemedicine Program (ATP) to participate in the development and implementation of the program. Materials and Methods: The ATP recommended adoption of a 'top-down' strategy for creating the program. Early buy-in of the Panamanian Ministry of Health and academic leaders was regarded as critical to the achievement of long-term success. Results: High-level meetings with the Minister of Health and the Rectors (i.e., Presidents) of the national universities gained early program support. A telemedicine demonstration project was established on a mountainous Indian reservation 230 miles west of Panama City. Today, three rural telemedicine clinics are linked to a regional Ministry of Health hospital for teleconsultations. Real-time bidirectional videoconferencing utilizes videophones connected over Internet protocol networks at a data rate of 768 kilobits per second to the San Felix Hospital. Telepediatrics, tele-obstetrics, telepulmonology, teledermatology, and tele-emergency medicine services became available. Telemedicine services were provided to the three sites for a total of 1,013 cases, with numbers of cases increasing each year. These three demonstration sites remained in operation after discontinuation of the U.S. involvement in September 2009 and serve as a model program for other telemedicine initiatives in Panama. Conclusions: Access to the assets of a partner-nation was invaluable in the establishment of the first model telemedicine demonstration program in Panama. After 3 years, the Panamanian Telemedicine and Telehealth Program (PTTP) became self-sufficient. The successful achievement of sustainability of the PTTP after disengagement by the United States fits the Latifi-Weinstein model for establishing telemedicine programs in developing countries.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2013/10//10/1/2013 VL - 47 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 11258 EP - 11267 SN - 0013936X AB - Although nanotechnology advancements should be fostered, the environmental health and safety (EHS) of nanoparticles used in technologies must be quantified simultaneously. However, most EHS studies assess the potential implications of the free nanoparticles which may not be directly applicable to the EHS of particles incorporated into in-use technologies. This investigation assessed the aquatic toxicological implications of copper oxide (CuO) nanospheres relative to CuO nanorods used in nanoenergetic applications to improve combustion. Particles were tested in both the as-received form and following combustion of a CuO/aluminum nanothermite. Results indicated nanospheres were more stable in water and slowly released ions, while higher surface area nanorods initially released more ions and were more toxic but generally less stable. After combustion, particles sintered into larger, micrometer-scale aggregates, which may lower toxicity potential to pelagic organisms due to deposition from water to sediment and reduced bioavailability after complexation with sediment organic matter. Whereas the larger nanothermite residues settled rapidly, implying lower persistence in water, their potential to release dissolved Cu was higher which led to greater toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia relative to parent CuO material (nanosphere or rod). This study illustrates the importance of considering the fate and toxicology of nanoparticles in context with their relevant in-use applications.

Lead-antimony (Pb-Sb) alloy copper (Cu) jacketed bullets are a common modern ammunition used at SAFRs. The impact of bullets with berm material (i.e., soil) generates a heterogeneous distribution of bullets and bullet fragments in the surrounding soil. As bullets and bullet fragments corrode in the berm soil, the migration potential for antimony compared to other metals is quite high. The goal of this study was to evaluate the spatial Sb migration potential from an SAFR as compared to lead, copper, and zinc (Zn) migration from the same SAFR. Berm soil samples were collected along with surface and ground water samples for a preliminary investigation of the Sb migration from an active SAFR. In addition, different aqueous sample preservation techniques were used and evaluated. Soil sample analysis results show the presence of the metals (i.e., Pb, Sb, Cu, and Zn) in the range floor soil samples, indicating the migration of these metals from the berm to the range floor. The groundwater samples indicate that Sb was migrating from the SAFR more readily than the other metals based on the concentration of Sb in the monitoring well farthest from the SAFR berm.

The measurements of the J–V characteristics reveal strong effects of QD charging by selective doping of the interdot space on the solar cell characteristics. We demonstrate that charging of QDs significantly increases electron coupling to sub-bandgap photons, provides effective harvesting of IR energy, and serve as an effective tool for manipulating the potential profile at the micro- and nanoscale. The potential well for electrons in InAs QDs is substantially deeper than that for holes and, due to major differences between the effective masses of electrons and holes, the electron level spacing is substantially larger than the level spacing for holes. Therefore, QDs act as deep traps for electrons but shallow traps for holes. Filling of QDs under illumination is determined by a condition of equality of electron and hole capture rates which is realized via strong exponential dependence of the capture rates on the potential barrier around a charged dot. Without adequate doping of the QD medium, QDs are filled by electrons from the n-doped junction area and deteriorate the solar cell performance. However, selective n-doping of the QD medium results in micro- and nanoscale potential profiles favorable for photovoltaic conversion. Potential barriers around charged QDs decrease the photoelectron capture processes and suppress recombination processes via QDs. The filling of QDs predominantly from dopants in the QD medium allows one to maintain the microscale potential profile analogous to that in the best conventional single-junction solar cells.

Various combinations of sticky bond (SB) strength and kinetics are employed. The toughness (work to fracture) of these systems displays a surprising deformation-protocol dependence; different association parameters optimize different properties. In particular, "strong, slow" SBs optimize strength, while "weak, fast" SBs optimize ductility via self-healing during deformation. We relate these observations to breaking, reformation, and partner switching of SBs during deformation. These studies point the way to creating associatingpolymer network glasses with tailorable mechanical properties.

Herein, pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) containing ethanol suspensions of two simulants forB. anthracisspores are considered for providing suitable aerosols. Doses and shot weights from pMDIs with canisters having volumes equal to that of 200 metering-valve actuations were constant for ≤165 actuations, but drop beyond that range. There were statistically significant dose variations between replicate pMDIs and between two types of actuators used on the pMDIs. The storage half-lives of pMDIs filled withBacillus atrophaeus(BG) andBacillus thuringiensissubsp.israelensis(Bti) spore formulations are predicted to be 32 and 136 months, respectively, if the canisters are stored under refrigeration (4°C). The prediction is based on use of a logarithmic regression model relating CFU per actuation to storage time, with data taken at times of 1–12 months. Demonstration of the utility of the concept was provided by producing responses from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identifier with pMDI-generated BG and Bti aerosols that were collected with a 100 L/min wetted wall bioaerosol sampling cyclone.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators to provide protection against infectious airborne viruses in various workplace settings. The filtration efficiency of selected NIOSH-approved particulate N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and filter cartridges was investigated against the viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage, aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Tests were performed under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes of 85 and 135 L/min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 L/min). The mean penetrations of viable MS2 through the N95 and P100 FFRs/cartridges were typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions. All N95 and P100 FFR and cartridge models assessed in this study, therefore, met or exceeded their respective efficiency ratings of 95 and 99.97% against the viable MS2 test aerosol, even under the very high flow conditions. These NIOSH-approved FFRs and particulate respirators equipped with these cartridges can be anticipated to achieve expected levels of protection (consistent with their assigned protection factor) against airborne viral agents, provided that they are properly selected, fitted, worn, and maintained.

JO - Ocean Modelling JF - Ocean Modelling Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 70 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 102 SN - 14635003 AB - Abstract: As phase-averaged spectral wave models continue to grow in sophistication, they are applied more frequently throughout the ocean, from the generation of waves in deep water to their dissipation in the nearshore. Mesh spacings are varied within the computational domain, either through the use of nested, structured meshes or a single, unstructured mesh. This approach is economical, but it can cause accuracy errors in regions where the input parameters are under-resolved. For instance, in regions with a coarse representation of bathymetry, refraction can focus excessive wave energy at a single mesh vertex, causing the computed solution to become non-physical. Limiters based on the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) criteria are proposed for the spectral propagation (refraction and frequency shifting) velocities in SWAN. These limiters are not required for model stability, but they improve accuracy by reducing local errors that would otherwise spread throughout the computational domain. As demonstrated on test cases in deep and shallow water, these limiters prevent the excessive directional turning and frequency shifting of wave energy and control the largest errors in under-resolved regions.

In 2010, sediment allocations were established to augment nutrient allocations supporting the submerged aquatic vegetation resource. From the initial introduction of nutrient allocations in 1992 to the present, the allocations have become more completely applied to all areas and loads in the watershed and have also become more rigorously assessed and tracked. The latest 2010 application of nutrient and sediment allocations were made as part of the Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load and covered all six states of the Chesapeake watershed. A quantitative allocation process was developed that applied principles of equity and efficiency in the watershed, while achieving all tidal water quality standards through an assessment of equitable levels of effort in reducing nutrients and sediments. The level of effort was determined through application of two key watershed scenarios: one where no action was taken in nutrient control and one where maximum nutrient control efforts were applied. Once the level of effort was determined for different jurisdictions, the overall load reduction was set watershed-wide to achieve dissolved oxygen water quality standards. Further adjustments were made to the allocation to achieve the James River chlorophyll- a standard.

Grid resolution and spatial coverage, tied with realistic bathymetry, ensured dynamic responses along the channel and near the shoreline. The model was run with the forcing ranges from high frequency astronomical tides to lower frequency meteorological forcing, given by surface wind and heat flux, as well as hydrological forcing given by fresh water inflows both from upstream and distributed sources along the shoreline. To validate the model, a long-term simulation over seven-year time period between 1994 and 2000 was performed. The model results were compared with existing observation data including water level time series, which spans over a wide spectrum of time scales, and long-term variations in salinity structures over varying parts of the Bay. The validated model is set to provide an appropriate transport mechanism to the water quality model through linkage, warranting that the model takes into account the complexity in time and spatial scales associated with the dynamic processes in the Chesapeake.

The three dimensional (3-D) layered scaffold of compound I and the 'zigzag' motifs of compounds II and III were found to have been created via unique hydrogen bonding patterns. Interestingly, compound III displayed a secondary 3-D channel framework, which was made possible by π-π stacking interactions. Spectroscopic studies yielded results that were consistent with the predicted behaviors of the various species of substituted ligands. X-ray crystallography revealed that compound I crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/ c with a = 14.734(3) Å , b = 6.8664(14) Å , c = 22.411(5) Å, α = 90°, β = 90.097(7)°, γ = 90°, V = 2267.4(8) Å, Z = 8; compound II crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2/ n with a = 11.621(3) Å, b = 12.391(3) Å, c = 12.537(4) Å, α = 90°, β = 102.148(11)°, γ = 90°, V = 1764.8(8) Å, Z = 4; and compound III crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pccn with a = 21.899(2) Å, b = 10.8845(11) Å, c = 15.7093(13) Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°, V = 3744.4(6) Å, Z = 8.

Anisotropy is simulated via the use of nonuniform grain boundary surface energies, and thermal gradients are simulated through the use of variable grain boundary mobilities. Hexagonal grain elements are employed, and elliptical Wulff plots are used to assign surface energies to grain lattices. The mobility is set to vary in accordance with solutions to a generalized heat equation and is solved for two separate values of the mobility coefficient. Among other findings, the results reveal that like isotropic grain growth, under the influence of a thermal gradient, anisotropic grain growth also demonstrates locally normal growth kinetics.

However, most--if not all--studies are limited to a flat substrate being indented by various shaped indenters (e.g., conical or spherical). This work investigates the possibility of extending instrumented indentation to nonflat viscoelastic substrates. In particular, conical indentation of a sphere is investigated where a semi-analytical approach based on "the method of functional equations" has been developed to obtain the force-displacement relationship. To verify the accuracy of the proposed methodology selected numerical experiments have been performed and good agreement was obtained. Since it takes significantly less time to obtain force-displacement relationships using the proposed method compared to conducting full finite element simulations, the proposed method is an efficient substitute of the finite element method in determining material properties of viscoelatic spherical particles using indentation testing.

JO - Ocean Engineering JF - Ocean Engineering Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 71 M3 - Article SP - 66 EP - 73 SN - 00298018 AB - Abstract: The real impact of sea level rise (SLR) on coastal and ocean engineering infrastructures is anticipated to be significant. The associated huge costs of coastal flooding and lasting socio-economic crisis would require planners, decision-makers and engineers to use effectively all available knowledge and data to optimize flood defense protection systems. In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian approach that integrates knowledge from previous performance history of structures (data, models and analysis) with more recent information from the simulations performed using the latest data, methods and modeling technology. These two sets of knowledge and information on past and present status of system contain various uncertainties and errors introduced by different input sources and analysis methods. We employ the concept of global uncertainty to quantify the total uncertainty affecting the design, functionality and maintenance of coastal flood defense systems in order to reduce damages resulting from the SLR and other extreme water level changes (e.g., storm surges by hurricanes, increased precipitation and ice melting). Our objective in this paper is to show coastal engineers how to use the prior knowledge with the most current information to improve the safety of flood defense systems. We demonstrate the proposed method in an example for the failure analysis of the 17th Street Flood Wall in New Orleans, where we estimate uncertainties that affected the design of the I-wall. We provide a methodology that integrates the contribution of SLR with all other available prior information to determine uncertainty levels for failure analysis of the flood defenses. Various uncertainties are present in engineering practice, explicit or implicit, and quantification of these is essential to safety and efficacy of coastal flood protection systems.

JO - Journal of Biomechanical Engineering JF - Journal of Biomechanical Engineering Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 135 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 01480731 AB - Passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (PD-AFO) bending stiffness is a key functional char¬acteristic for achieving enhanced gait function. However, current orthosis customization methods inhibit objective premanufacture tuning of the PD-AFO bending stiffness, mak¬ing optimization of orthosis function challenging. We have developed a novel virtual functional prototyping (VFP) process, which harnesses the strengths of computer aided design (CAD),model parameterization and finite element analysis, to quantitatively tune and predict the functional characteristics of a PD-AFO, which is rapidly manufactured via fused deposition modeling (FDM). The purpose of this study was to assess the VFP process for PD-AFO bending stiffness. A PD-AFO CAD model was customized for a healthy subject and tuned to four bending stiffness values via VFP. Two sets of each tuned model were fabricated via FDM using medical-grade polycarbonate (PC-ISO). Dimensional accuracy of the fabricated orthoses was excellent (average 0.51 ± 0.39 mm). Manufacturing precision ranged from 0.0 to 0.74 Nm/deg (average 0.30 ± 0.36 Nm/deg). Bending stiffness prediction accuracy was within 1 Nm/deg using the manufacturer pro¬vided PC-ISO elastic modulus (average 0.48 ± 0.35 Nm/deg). Using an experimentally derived PC-ISO elastic modulus improved the optimized bending stiffness prediction ac¬curacy (average 029 ± 0.57 Nm/deg). Robustness of the derived modulus was tested by carrying out the VFP process for a disparate subject, tuning the PD-AFO model to five bending stiffness values. For this disparate subject, bending stiffness prediction accuracy was strong (average 0.20 ± 0.14 Nmideg). Overall, the VFP process had excellent dimen¬sional accuracy, good manufacturing precision, and strong prediction accuracy with the derived modulus. Implementing VFP as part of our PD-AFO customization and manufac¬turing framework, which also includes fit customization, provides a novel and powerful method to predictably tune and precisely manufacture orthoses with objectively custom¬ized fit and functional characteristics.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 79 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 5899 EP - 5906 SN - 00992240 AB - There continues to be a need for developing efficient and environmentally friendly treatments for Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax. One emerging approach for inactivation of vegetative B. anthracis is the use of bacteriophage endolysins or lytic enzymes encoded by bacterial genomes (autolysins) with highly evolved specificity toward bacterium-specific peptidogly- can cell walls. In this work, we performed in silico analysis of the genome of Bacillus anthracis strain Ames, using a consensus binding domain amino acid sequence as a probe, and identified a novel lytic enzyme that we termed AmiBA2446. This enzyme exists as a homodimer, as determined by size exclusion studies. It possesses N-acetylmurainoyl-L-alanine amidase activity, as determined from liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of muropeptides released due to the enzymatic digestion of peptidoglycan. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that AmiBA2446 was an autolysin of bacterial origin. We characterized the effects of enzyme concentration and phase of bacterial growth on bactericidal activity and observed close to a 5-log reduction in the viability of cells of Bacillus cereus 4342, a surrogate for B. anthracis. We further tested the bactericidal activity of AmiBA2446 against various Bacillus species and demonstrated significant activity against B. anthracis and B. cereus strains. We also demonstrated activity against B. anthracis spores after pretreatment with germinants. AmiBA2446 enzyme was also stable in solution, retaining its activity after 4 months of storage at room temperature.

The importance of the deformation-driving πƒ7/2 and νg9/2 orbitals on the onset of nuclear deformation is stressed. Purpose: A measurement was performed in order to identify collective rotational structures in the relatively neutron-rich 62Ni isotope. Method: The 26Mg(48Ca,2α4nγ)62Ni complex reaction at beam energies between 275 and 320 MeV was utilized. Reaction products were identified in mass (A) and charge (Z) with the fragment mass analyzer (FMA) and γ rays were detected with the Gammasphere array. Results: Two collective bands, built upon states of single-particle character, were identified and sizable deformation was assigned to both sequences based on the measured transitional quadrupole moments, herewith quantifying the deformation at high spin. Conclusions: Based on cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations and comparisons with deformed bands in the A=60 mass region, the two rotational bands are understood as being associated with configurations involving multiple ƒ7/2 protons and g9/2 neutrons, driving the nucleus to sizable prolate deformation.

JO - Physical Review E JF - Physical Review E Y1 - 2016/09// VL - 94 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 24700045 AB - The internal biochemical state of a cell is regulated by a vast transcriptional network that kinetically correlates the concentrations of numerous proteins. Fluctuations in protein concentration that encode crucial information about this changing state must compete with fluctuations caused by the noisy cellular environment in order to successfully transmit information across the network. Oftentimes, one protein must regulate another through a sequence of intermediaries, and conventional wisdom, derived from the data processing inequality of information theory, leads us to expect that longer sequences should lose more information to noise. Using the metric of mutual information to characterize the fluctuation sensitivity of transcriptional signaling cascades, we find, counter to this expectation, that longer chains of regulatory interactions can instead lead to enhanced informational efficiency. We derive an analytic expression for the mutual information from a generalized chemical kinetics model that we reduce to simple, mass-action kinetics by linearizing for small fluctuations about the basal biological steady state, and we find that at long times this expression depends only on a simple ratio of protein production to destruction rates and the length of the cascade. We place bounds on the values of these parameters by requiring that the mutual information be at least one bit--otherwise, any received signal would be indistinguishable from noise--and we find not only that nature has devised a way to circumvent the data processing inequality, but that it must be circumvented to attain this one-bit threshold. We demonstrate how this result places informational and biochemical efficiency at odds with one another by correlating high transcription factor binding affinities with low informational output, and we conclude with an analysis of the validity of our assumptions and propose how they might be tested experimentally.

The measurement extracts information about the position of the spot and in doing so measures a combination of the orientation and position of the sphere. The quantum backaction of the measurement entangles and correlates these two degrees of freedom. Such a measurement is not available for atoms or ions and provides a mechanism to probe the quantum mechanical properties of trapped optomechanical spheres. In performing simulations of this measurement process we also test a numerical method introduced recently by Rouchon and collaborators [H. Amini, M. Mirrahimi, and P. Rouchon, in Proceedings of the 50th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC, 2011), pp. 6242-6247; P. Rouchon and J. F. Ralph, Phys. Rev. A 91, 012118 (2015)] for solving stochastic master equations. This method guarantees the positivity of the density matrix when the Lindblad operators for all simultaneous continuous measurements are mutually commuting. We show that it is both simpler and far more efficient than previous methods.

Enhancements of over two orders of magnitude are measured in the scale factor, which translates to greater than an order-of-magnitude enhancement in the predicted quantum-noise-limited measurement precision, by temperature-tuning a low-pressure vapor of noninteracting atoms in a low-finesse cavity close to the critical anomalous dispersion condition. The predicted enhancement in sensitivity is confirmed through Monte Carlo numerical simulations.

Compared to the chloride anion (Cl−) exchange membranes, these HCO3− exchange membranes exhibit similar hydration levels and only slightly lower ionic conductivities at similar ionic compositions. Other experiments reveal that the HCO3− exchange membranes are thermally stable (up to 110°C) and chemically stable under relatively low alkaline conditions. Additionally, a detailed chemical degradation mechanism for these membranes under strong alkaline conditions is presented.

JO - Lab on a Chip - Miniaturisation for Chemistry & Biology JF - Lab on a Chip - Miniaturisation for Chemistry & Biology Y1 - 2013/09/15/ VL - 13 IS - 18 M3 - Article SP - 3569 EP - 3577 SN - 14730197 AB - The research areas of tissue engineering and drug development have displayed increased interest in organ-on-a-chip studies, in which physiologically or pathologically relevant tissues can be engineered to test pharmaceutical candidates. Microfluidic technologies enable the control of the cellular microenvironment for these applications through the topography, size, and elastic properties of the microscale cell culture environment, while delivering nutrients and chemical cues to the cells through continuous media perfusion. Traditional materials used in the fabrication of microfluidic devices, such as poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), offer high fidelity and high feature resolution, but do not facilitate cell attachment. To overcome this challenge, we have developed a method for coating microfluidic channels inside a closed PDMS device with a cell-compatible hydrogel layer. We have synthesized photocrosslinkable gelatin and tropoelastin-based hydrogel solutions that were used to coat the surfaces under continuous flow inside 50 μm wide, straight microfluidic channels to generate a hydrogel layer on the channel walls. Our observation of primary cardiomyocytes seeded on these hydrogel layers showed preferred attachment as well as higher spontaneous beating rates on tropoelastin coatings compared to gelatin. In addition, cellular attachment, alignment and beating were stronger on 5% (w/v) than on 10% (w/v) hydrogel-coated channels. Our results demonstrate that cardiomyocytes respond favorably to the elastic, soft tropoelastin culture substrates, indicating that tropoelastin-based hydrogels may be a suitable coating choice for some organ-on-a-chip applications. We anticipate that the proposed hydrogel coating method and tropoelastin as a cell culture substrate may be useful for the generation of elastic tissues, e.g. blood vessels, using microfluidic approaches.

The MD simulations predict density, viscosity, and ionic conductivityvalues that agree well with the experimental results. In the solvent-richregime, the ionic conductivity of the PY15TFSI–ANmixtures was found to be significantly higher than the conductivityof the corresponding −PC and −DMC mixtures, despitethe similar viscosity values obtained from both the MD simulationsand experiments for the −DMC and −AN mixtures. The significantlylower conductivity of the PY15TFSI–DMC mixtures,as compared to those for PY15TFSI–AN, in the solvent-richregime was attributed to the more extensive ion aggregation observedfor the −DMC mixtures. The PY15TFSI–DMC mixturespresent an interesting case where the addition of the organic solventto the IL results in an increase in the cation–anion correlations,in contrast to what is found for the mixtures with PC and AN, whereion motion became increasingly uncorrelated with addition of solvent.A combination of pfg-NMR and conductivity measurements confirmed theMD simulation predictions. Further insight into the molecular interactionsand properties was also obtained using the MD simulations by examiningthe solvent distribution in the IL–solvent mixtures and themixture excess properties.

In this work, the potential for perchlorate removal using cell-free bacterial enzymes as biocatalysts was investigated using crude cell lysates and soluble protein fractions of Azospira oryzae PS, as well as soluble protein fractions encapsulated in lipid and polymer vesicles. The crude lysates showed activities between 41 700 to 54 400 U L-1 (2.49 to 3.06 U mg-1 total protein). Soluble protein fractions had activities of 15 400 to 29 900 U L-1 (1.70 to 1.97 U mg-1) and still retained an average of 58.2% of their original activity after 23 days of storage at 4 °C under aerobic conditions. Perchlorate was removed by the soluble protein fraction at higher rates than nitrate. Importantly, perchlorate reduction occurred even in the presence of 500-fold excess nitrate. The soluble protein fraction retained its function after encapsulation in lipid or polymer vesicles, with activities of 13.8 to 70.7 U L-1, in agreement with theoretical calculations accounting for the volume limitation of the vesicles. Further, encapsulation mitigated enzyme inactivation by proteinase K. Enzyme-based technologies could prove effective at perchlorate removal from water cocontaminated with nitrate or sulfate.

Binding of ATP to ATPA at the recognition surface causes the release of an equivalent concentration of FAD that can be quantitatively monitored in real time at the signaling surface, thereby enabling a wide linear working range (1.14 × 10-10 to 3.0 × 10-5 M), a low detection limit (2.01 × 10-11 M using graphene and AuNP modified glassy carbon), and fast target binding kinetics (steady-state signal within 12 min at detection limit). Unlike assays based on capture probe-immobilized electrodes, this double-surface competitive assay offers the ability to speed up target binding kinetics by increasing the capture probe concentration, with no limitations due to intermolecular Coulombic interactions and nonspecific binding. We utilize the real-time monitoring capability to compute kinetic parameters for target binding and to make quantitative distinctions on degree of base-pair mismatch through monitoring target binding kinetics over a wide concentration range. On the basis of the simplicity of the assay chemistry and the quantitative detection of ATP within fruit and serum media, as demonstrated by comparison of ATP levels against those determined using a standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV absorbance method, we envision a versatile detection platform for applications requiring real-time monitoring over a wide target concentration range.

The first algorithm aims at assessing the errors simultaneously with the mean field reconstruction. The second algorithm uses the results of the first algorithm to identify the ray paths corrupted by the systematic errors and then estimates these errors more accurately. Numerical simulations show that the first algorithm can improve the reconstruction when relatively small systematic errors are present in all paths. The second algorithm significantly improves the reconstruction when systematic errors are present in a few, but not all, ray paths. The developed algorithms were applied to experimental data obtained at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory.

Specifically, 2 markers for type II collagen and aggrecan synthesis (CPII and CS846, respectively)and 2 markers of types I and II degradation and type II degradation only (C1,2C and C2C, respectively) were studied. Preinjurybaseline serum samples and postinjury follow-up samples were obtained for 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 uninjuredcontrols matched for sex, age, height, and weight.Results: Results revealed significant decreases in C1,2C (P = .042) and C2C (P = .006) over time in the ACL-injured group whencompared with the controls. The change in serum concentrations of CS846 from baseline to follow-up was also significantly differentbetween the ACL-injured patients and uninjured controls (P = .002), as was the change between groups in the ratio ofC2C:CPII over time (P = .013). No preinjury differences in the ratio of C1,2C:CPII or C2C:CPII were observed between groups;however, postinjury differences were observed for both ratios.Conclusion: Changes in biomarker concentrations after an ACL injury suggest an alteration in cartilage turnover and joint metabolismin those sustaining ACL injuries compared with uninjured matched controls.

JO - Journal of Clinical Virology JF - Journal of Clinical Virology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 11 EP - 17 SN - 13866532 AB - Abstract: Background: Laboratory diagnosis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), an infectious disease caused by rodent-borne hantaviruses in Asia and Europe, depends primarily on serological methods. Since the advent of such serodiagnostic tests, few reports are available about the clinical and molecular epidemiological features of HFRS. Objectives: To investigate the epidemioclinical features of HFRS patients treated at a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Seoul over a 10-year period. Study design: Medical records of HFRS patients, admitted to a tertiary-care teaching hospital during February 2002 to February 2012, were reviewed. Sera from patients were tested for Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Seoul virus (SEOV) RNA using RT-PCR. Results: Among 35 HFRS patients (mean age was 44.2±14.7 years), 29 were male (82.9%). Acute renal failure developed in 27 patients (77.1%), and 12 patients (34.3%) were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Conjunctival injection (OR 10.32, 95% CI 1.09–97.77, P =.04) and initial serum albumin less than 3g/dL (OR 22.83, 95% CI 1.45–359.93, P =.03) were risk factors for ICU admission. Of 35 acute-phase sera, 11 (31.4%) were positive for HTNV RNA. None were positive for SEOV RNA. Conclusions: HFRS was characterized by the clinical triad of fever, renal insufficiency and gastrointestinal symptoms. Conjunctival injection and serum albumin level were related to severity. A large-scale multi-center study is needed to enhance insights into epidemioclinical characteristics of HFRS in Korea.

Particle clusters have been the subject of careful study and taxonomy but would benefit from new quantitative, reproducible, statistical analysis, particularly in the gravel size classes where clusters are difficult to reliably resolve by visual, gestalt methods. This study quantified a clustering length scale for a gravel and cobble bed. The size, orientation, and location of 7726 gravel and cobble particles were measured from 100 photographic samples of a symmetrical bar on the Navarro River, California. Nearest neighbor spatial statistics were used to analyze particle associations. Clustering was identified between gravel particles throughout the river bar. Clustering was also identified for large (>d 84 of the sample) and medium (between the d 50 and d 84 of the sample) particles relative to the local gradation. The spatial scale of these large and medium particle clusters were 1.75d 84 and 3.0d 50, respectively.

T1 - Late Quaternary stream piracy and strath terrace formation along the Belle Fourche and lower Cheyenne Rivers, South Dakota and Wyoming. JO - Geomorphology JF - Geomorphology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 197 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 20 SN - 0169555X AB - Abstract: Stream piracy substantially affected the geomorphic evolution of the Missouri River watershed and drainages within, including the Little Missouri, Cheyenne, Belle Fourche, Bad, and White Rivers. The ancestral Cheyenne River eroded headward in an annular pattern around the eastern and southern Black Hills and pirated the headwaters of the ancestral Bad and White Rivers after ~660ka. The headwaters of the ancestral Little Missouri River were pirated by the ancestral Belle Fourche River, a tributary to the Cheyenne River that currently drains much of the northern Black Hills. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating techniques were used to estimate the timing of this piracy event at ~22–21ka. The geomorphic evolution of the Cheyenne and Belle Fourche Rivers is also expressed by regionally recognized strath terraces that include (from oldest to youngest) the Sturgis, Bear Butte, and Farmingdale terraces. Radiocarbon and OSL dates from fluvial deposits on these terraces indicate incision to the level of the Bear Butte terrace by ~63ka, incision to the level of the Farmingdale terrace at ~40ka, and incision to the level of the modern channel after ~12–9ka. Similar dates of terrace incision have been reported for the Laramie and Wind River Ranges. Hypothesized causes of incision are the onset of colder climate during the middle Wisconsinan and the transition to the full-glacial climate of the late-Wisconsinan/Pinedale glaciation. Incision during the Holocene of the lower Cheyenne River is as much as ~80m and is 3 to 4 times the magnitude of incision at ~63ka and ~40ka. The magnitude of incision during the Holocene might be due to a combined effect of three geomorphic processes acting in concert: glacial isostatic rebound in lower reaches (~40m), a change from glacial to interglacial climate, and adjustments to increased watershed area resulting from piracy of the ancestral headwaters of the Little Missouri River.

T1 - Effects of high-protein diets on fat-free mass and muscle protein synthesis following weight loss: a randomized controlled trial. JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 27 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 3837 EP - 3847 AB - The purpose of this work was to determine the effects of varying levels of dietary protein on body composition and muscle protein synthesis during energy deficit (ED). A randomized controlled trial of 39 adults assigned the subjects diets providing protein at 0.8 (recommended dietary allowance; RDA), 1.6 (2x-RDA), and 2.4 (3x-RDA) g kg-1 d-1 for 31 d. A 10-d weight-maintenance (WM) period was followed by a 21 d, 40% ED. Body composition and postabsorptive and postprandial muscle protein synthesis were assessed during WM (d 9-10) and ED (d 30-31). Volunteers lost (P<0.05) 3.2 ± 0.2 kg body weight during ED regardless of dietary protein. The proportion of weight loss due to reductions in fat-free mass was lower (P<0.05) and the loss of fat mass was higher (P<0.05) in those receiving 2 x-RDA and 3 x-RDA compared to RDA. The anabolic muscle response to a protein-rich meal during ED was not different (P>0.05) from WM for 2x-RDA and 3 x-RDA, but was lower during ED than WM for those consuming RDA levels of protein (energy x protein interaction, P<0.05). To assess muscle protein metabolic responses to varied protein intakes during ED, RDA served as the study control. In summary, we determined that consuming dietary protein at levels exceeding the RDA may protect fat-free mass during short-term weight loss.

JO - Journal of Business & Psychology JF - Journal of Business & Psychology Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 28 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 361 EP - 374 SN - 08893268 AB - Purpose: This study examines the issue of change in newcomers' employer-based psychological contract obligations over time, viewing change as a potentially important determinant of perceived contract breach and subsequent employee attitudes and behaviors. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected using a three-wave longitudinal design from newly hired faculty members ( N = 106). Findings: Newcomers' perceptions of employer-based relational obligations significantly decreased during their first year on the job. Newcomers reacted negatively to these changes, subsequently reporting increased contract breach and more negative work attitudes (i.e., increased turnover intentions and reduced job satisfaction and organizational loyalty). Implications: This study provides evidence of the negative effects of perceived changes to a newcomer's psychological contract. Practitioners should implement interventions to ensure a realistic set of psychological contract obligations are developed from the start in order to minimize the likelihood that newcomers will modify these obligations downward; and, therefore, experience these negative attitudes toward the organization. Originality/Value: Drawing from the realistic job preview and socialization literatures, this study examines a topic that has received little empirical attention in the extant psychological contract research, yet has important implications to the management of employees' psychological contracts. Using both a three-wave longitudinal field design and a more rigorous statistical analysis for assessing change (i.e., latent growth curve modeling), we add a unique contribution to the extant research by identifying the negative consequences of psychological contract change on newcomers' subsequent work perceptions and attitudes.

Uniformed social workers of the past and those of today are involved in ensuring the well-being of soldiers and their families during peace and war. The training and development of the post-MSW social worker is an area lacking attention in the literature. This article focuses on an innovative military post-MSW training program that simultaneously prepares the social worker for clinical work in multiple military practice areas while also preparing the trainee for independent social work licensure. In the 4 years since implementation, this 2-year training program has become the model for the professional development of new uniformed Army social workers.

This deployment tempo can have negative effects on the physical and psychological well-being of soldiers and their families. In this article, we examine how changes to the structure of work schedules in a U.S. Army brigade can ameliorate negative effects from an increased deployment tempo. The authors present research from a quasi-experimental design that measures soldier opinions before and after changing their work schedule. The results indicate that schedule changes had a positive effect for some junior-enlisted personnel and did not, on average, adversely affect the social and health outcomes of non-commissioned officers.

Our translation achieves broader coverage than prior work that uses ACE, by a novel application of modern compositional semantics. This translation also natively supports question answering. The system significantly features a modular architecture, enabling semi-automated porting to new policy domains. We initially developed the system for cognitive radio policies, then generalized and ported it to two other policy vocabularies. The system interoperates with policies written in the XACML language.

The novel complexes, [Ru(pbt)2(phen2DTT)](PF6)2·1.5H2O 1 (where phen2DTT = 1,4-bis(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-ylsulfanyl)butane-2,3-diol and pbt = 2-(2′-pyridyl)benzothiazole) and [Ru(pbt)2(tpphz)](PF6)2·3H2O 2 (where tpphz = tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c:3′′,2′′-h:2′′′,3′′′-j]phenazine) were synthesised and characterised. Compound 1 was reacted with [VO(sal-l-tryp)(H2O)] (where sal-l-tryp = N-salicylidene-l-tryptophanate) to produce [Ru(pbt)2(phen2DTT)VO(sal-l-tryp)](PF6)2·5H2O 4; while [VO(sal-l-tryp)(H2O)] was reacted with compound 2 to produce [Ru(pbt)2(tpphz)VO(sal-l-tryp)](PF6)2·6H2O 3. All complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, HRMS, ESI MS, UV-visible absorption, ESR spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, where appropriate. In vitro cell toxicity studies (with the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay) via dark and light reaction conditions were carried out with sodium diaqua-4,4′,4′′,4′′′ tetrasulfophthalocyaninecobaltate(ii) (Na4[Co(tspc)(H2O)2]), [VO(sal-l-tryp)(phen)]·H2O, and the chloride salts of complexes 3 and 4. Such studies involved A431, human epidermoid carcinoma cells; human amelanotic malignant melanoma cells; and HFF, non-cancerous human skin fibroblast cells. Both chloride salts of complexes 3 and 4 were found to be more toxic to melanoma cells than to non-cancerous fibroblast cells, and preferentially led to apoptosis of the melanoma cells over non-cancerous skin cells. The anti-cancer property of the chloride salts of complexes 3 and 4 was further enhanced when treated cells were exposed to light, while no such effect was observed on non-cancerous skin fibroblast cells.

The MWCNTs were found to be more effective than graphite. Though more dispersible, carboxylated MWCNTs appeared to increase the resistance of the electrode and decrease the electrochemical performance. The relatively inexpensive MWCNTs represent an advantage over graphite in flexible composite MnO2 cathode.

The PY14DFOB and PY16DFOB salts have a melting point (T m) of −5 °C and 31 °C, respectively, whereas the PY15DFOB salt does not crystallize. Instead, this salt has a glass transition temperature (T g) of −74 °C. Electrolytes composed of these ILs are noncorrosive toward Al when mixed with LiTFSI and LiFSI, as well as with LiPF6 or LiDFOB. The exceptional oxidative stability of these ILs suggests that they may be suitable for battery electrolyte applications.

Previous research showed that the two eardrums are mechanically coupled, which amplifies the directional cues. We have now performed a mechanics and optimization analysis which reveals that the right coupling strength is key: it results in simultaneously optimized directional sensitivity and directional cue linearity at 5 kHz.Wenext demonstrated that this dual optimality is replicable in a synthetic device and can be tailored for a desired frequency. Finally, we demonstrated a miniature sensor endowed with this dual-optimality at 8 kHz with unparalleled sound localization. This work provides a quantitative and mechanistic explanation for the fly's sound-localization ability from a new perspective, and it provides a framework for the development of fly-ear inspired sensors to overcoming a previously-insurmountable size constraint in engineered sound-localization systems [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Scientific Reports is the property of Nature Publishing Group and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Transcriptome analyses showed changes in mRNA levels for 1796 genes in juveniles and 1214 genes in adults (out of 15?000 total probes) exposed to two SSRIs (fluoxetine and fluvoxamine) or to 4-nonylphenol. Functional annotation of affected genes was improved by assuming the annotations of putatively homologous Drosophila genes. Self-organizing map analysis and partial least-square regression coupled with selectivity ratio procedures analyses allowed to define groups of genes with specific responses to the different treatments. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed for functional enrichment using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Serotonin metabolism, neuronal developmental processes, and carbohydrates and lipid metabolism functional categories appeared as selectively affected by SSRI treatment, whereas 4-nonylphenol deregulated genes from the carbohydrate metabolism and the ecdysone regulatory pathway. These changes in functional and metabolic pathways are consistent with previously reported SSRIs and 4-nonylphenol hormetic effects in D. magna, including a decrease in reserve carbohydrates and an increase in respiratory metabolism.

Here, we examined the potential mechanisms underlying the hormetic response of Daphnia magna to the energetic trinitrotoluene (TNT). Daphnia magna were exposed to TNT for 21 days, and a significant increase in adult length and number of neonates was identified at low concentrations (0.002–0.22 mg/L TNT), while toxic effects were identified at high concentrations (0.97 mg/L TNT and above). Microarray analysis of D. magna exposed to 0.004, 0.12, and 1.85 mg/L TNT identified effects on lipid metabolism as a potential mechanism underlying hormetic effects. Lipidomic analysis of exposed D. magna supported the hypothesis that TNT exposure affected lipid and fatty acid metabolism, showing that hormetic effects could be related to changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids known to be involved in Daphnia growth and reproduction. Our results show that Daphnia exposed to low levels of TNT presented hormetic growth and reproduction enhancement, while higher TNT concentrations had an opposite effect. Our results also show how a systems approach can help elucidate potential mechanisms of action and adverse outcomes.

Extension of this theory also explains the moresubtle observation that, even though the spacing is generally thatof one unit, occasionally, the spacing between the maxima of adjacentclusters shifts by that of the other unit. Furthermore, the theorypredicts that, in the low molecular weight region of the spectrum,there is a total switch to the spacing of the other unit along withasymmetric peak clusters that have a “sawtooth” shape.The analysis uses the Gaussian, log–normal, and Schulz–Zimmmodels as well as the random coupling hypothesis to explicitly demonstratethat (1) the major peak cluster spacing naturally arises from theunit in the copolymer with the widest distribution, as measured bythe scaled standard deviation, (2) the spacing shift naturally occursdue to the marginal probabilities away from the spectrum maximum,and (3) the low molecular weight switch is a natural consequence ofthe tail of the distribution of the unit with the widest distribution.Results are provided to predict which unit in the copolymer will governthe major peak cluster spacing, how often the spacing will shift tothat of another unit in the middle and high molecular weight regionsof the spectrum, the molecular weight and composition of the maximumpeak in every cluster, and the molecular weight below which the spacingwill be that of the another unit. We believe that our results arethe first to provide tangible theory to explain the previously unknownorigins of these empirically observed phenomena.

JO - Clinical Oral Implants Research JF - Clinical Oral Implants Research Y1 - 2013/08/02/Aug2013 Supplement VL - 24 M3 - Article SP - 8 EP - 19 SN - 09057161 AB - Objectives (i) To identify and quantify an interfacial biochemical bond and the bonding strength of osseointegrated implants with bioactive titanium oxide chemistry, ATiOxB (A, metal cations; TiOx, titanium oxides/hydroxides; B, non-metal anions) and (ii) to provide quantitative evidence for the biochemical bond theory of osseointegration proposed by Sul et al. for description and explanation of why and how the implants with ATiOxB surface oxide chemistry may exhibit a significantly stronger bone response, in spite of the fact that the roughness values approached zero, or were equivalent to or significantly lower than those of the control implants. Materials and methods We applied a newly developed biochemical bond measurement ( BBM) method to model implant surfaces that were 'perfectly' smooth nanotopography near-zero roughness as the constant parameter, and used the bioactive surface chemistry of titanium oxide, ATiOxB chemistry as a variable parameter in rabbit tibiae for 10 weeks. In this manner, we determined an interfacial biochemical bond and quantified its bonding strength. Results The increase in biochemical bond strengths of the test implant relative to the control implant was determined to be 0.018 (±0.008) MPa (0.031 vs 0.021 MPa, n = 10) for tensile strength and 8.9 (±6.1) Ncm (33.0 vs 24.1 Ncm, n = 10) for removal torque. Tensile and removal torque show strong correlation in the Pearson test ( r = 0.901, P ≤ 0.001). In addition, histomorphometric measurements including bone-to-metal-contact ( BMC, P = 0.007), bone area and newly formed bone showed significant increases in the mean values for ATiOxB chemistry ( P = 0.007, n = 10). Biochemical bond theory states that the surface oxide chemistry, ATiOxB must have more electrical and chemical molecular polarity that fractionally charges the surfaces denoted as δ+ and δ− and leads to electrostatic and electrodynamic interactions with the bone healing cascade, eventually leading to the formation of biochemical bonding at the bone/implant interface. Conclusions The present study has provided quantitative evidence for biochemical bond theory of osseointegration of implants with bioactive surface oxide chemistry, ATiOxB. The theory of biochemical bonds may provide a scientific rationale pertinent to recent emerging trends and technologies for surface chemistry modifications of implants.

While there are several factors that may affect the MFC variability across studies (populations studied, environmental conditions, etc.), one aspect of the discrepancies in the literature may be the result of different placements of shoe markers and/or MFC calculation methods. A marker on the toe is often used, but may only quantify one aspect of how the foot actually clears the trip hazard. The purpose of this study was to determine the location on the shoe where MFC occurs during locomotor tasks with the highest risk of tripping. Ten young adults performed three trials of locomotor tasks which included overground walking, obstacle crossing, level change and stair negotiation. Clearance was calculated for 72 points on each shoe, including those most commonly used in past research. The location of the overall MFC on the shoe sole differed both between limbs and across locomotor tasks. Additionally, the region of the obstacle, step or stair over which the MFC occurred varied both within and across task. Use of this 3D MFC methodology provided further insight into which portions of the shoe may come closest to the tripping hazard. Future research should examine whether the location and value of the MFC changes between different populations, or with environmental modifications.

Ai a result, these facilities, sustained considerable damage and disrupted U.S. energy supplies. The wave climatology in the GOM is therefore studied in detail. A 51-year database of SWHs was constructed by using a combination of wind and wave models, and both individual wave heights and statistical measures were validated, to the extent possible, using buoy data. Analyses of the modeled data show that there is an increasing trend in the annual maxi-mum SWHs in the eastern part of the GOM; the maximum trend is approximately 5.6 cm/ year, which is of the same magnitude as that reported for the U.S. west coast. The western part; on the other hand, shows a decreasing trend. The maximum estimated 100-year SWHs (denoted by SWH100) are 19.1 m, 22.6 m and 26.7 m for the Gumbel, Weibull, and the GEV distributions, respectively. The estimates obtained here using the Weibull distri-bution are comparable to those obtained independently by API (API--American Petro-leum Institute, 2007, "Interim Guidance on Hurricane Conditions in the Gulf of Mexico," API Bulletin No. 2INT-MET). However, the use of objective criteria to identify the optimal distribution suggests that the GEV estimates are to be preferred if the engi-neer wishes to emphasize the upper tail where extremes are likely to occur. The maximum increase in the SWHI00 due to the 2004-2008 season is of the order of 0.9 m to 2.7m (depending as the distribution). Information generated here is intended to supplement the design recommendations provided by API (American Petroleum Institute, 2007, "Interim Guidance on Hurricane Conditions in the Gulf of Mexico," API Bulletin No. 2INT-MET).

JO - Cement & Concrete Composites JF - Cement & Concrete Composites Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 41 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 09589465 AB - Abstract: As a result of increased concerns regarding public safety in recent years, the impact and penetration resistance of infrastructure has become an emerging research focus in the cement and concrete industry. Ultra-high performance concretes (UHPCs) with fiber reinforcement usually possess compressive strengths greater than 200MPa and are promising candidates for penetration-resistant building materials. In the current project, two UHPC materials, ERDC-M (a modified composition developed at U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center) and Ductal®, were subjected to projectile penetration testing. The microstructural evolution due to projectile impact and penetration was examined via scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Possible phase changes were observed in the affected material volume, which can be interpreted as resulting from the high temperature and high pressure induced by the impact and penetration.

Poor iron status, including iron deficiency (ID; diminished iron stores) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA; poor iron stores and diminished hemoglobin), affects billions of people worldwide. This review focuses on physical and neuropsychological outcomes associated with ID and IDA in premenopausal women, as the prevalence of ID and IDA is often greater in premenopausal women than other population demographics. Recent studies addressing the physiological effects of poor iron status on physical performance, including work productivity, voluntary activity, and athletic performance, are addressed. Similarly, the effects of iron status on neurological performance, including cognition, affect, and behavior, are summarized. Nutritional countermeasures for the prevention of poor iron status and the restoration of decrements in performance outcomes are described.

Headwater streams are central to this issue because many periodically dry, and because little is known about their influence on navigable waters. An accurate account of the extent and flow permanence of headwater streams is critical to estimating downstream contributions. We compared the extent and permanence of headwater streams from two field surveys with values from databases and maps. The first used data from 29 headwater streams in nine U.S. forests, whereas the second had data from 178 headwater streams in Oregon. Synthetic networks developed from the nine-forest survey indicated that 33 to 93% of the channel lacked year-round flow. Seven of the nine forests were predicted to have >200% more channel length than portrayed in the high-resolution National Hydrography Dataset ( NHD). The NHD and topographic map classifications of permanence agreed with ~50% of the field determinations across ~300 headwater sites. Classification agreement with the field determinations generally increased with increasing resolution. However, the flow classification on soil maps only agreed with ~30% of the field determination despite depicting greater channel extent than other maps. Maps that include streams regardless of permanence and size will aid regulatory decisions and are fundamental to improving water quality monitoring and models.

JO - Journal of Thermal Biology JF - Journal of Thermal Biology Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 305 EP - 310 SN - 03064565 AB - Abstract: Physical work, high ambient temperature and wearing protective clothing can elevate body temperature and cardiovascular strain sufficiently to degrade performance and induce heat-related illnesses. We have recently developed an Arm Immersion Cooling System (AICS) for use in military training environments and this paper will review literature supporting such an approach and provide details regarding its construction. Extremity cooling in cool or cold water can accelerate body (core temperature) cooling from 0.2 to 1.0°C/10min vs. control conditions, depending on the size/surface area of the extremity immersed. Arm immersion up to the elbow results in greater heat loss than hand- or foot-only immersion and may reduce cardiovascular strain by lowering heart rate by 10–25 beats/min and increase work tolerance time by up to 60%. The findings from studies in this paper support the use of AICS prototypes, which have been incorporated as part of the heat stress mitigation procedures employed in US Army Ranger Training and may have great application for sports and occupational use.

JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: Despite the close association between gene expression and metabolism, experimental evidence shows that gene expression levels alone cannot predict metabolic phenotypes, indicating a knowledge gap in our understanding of how these processes are connected. Here, we present a method that integrates transcriptome, fluxome, and metabolome data using kinetic models to create a mechanistic link between gene expression and metabolism. Results: We developed a modeling framework to construct kinetic models that connect the transcriptional and metabolic responses of a cell to exogenous perturbations. The framework allowed us to avoid extensive experimental characterization, literature mining, and optimization problems by estimating most model parameters directly from fluxome and transcriptome data. We applied the framework to investigate how gene expression changes led to observed phenotypic alterations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae treated with weak organic acids (i.e., acetate, benzoate, propionate, or sorbate) and the histidine synthesis inhibitor 3-aminotriazole under steady-state conditions. We found that the transcriptional response led to alterations in yeast metabolism that mimicked measured metabolic fluxes and concentration changes. Further analyses generated mechanistic insights of how S. cerevisiae responds to these stresses. In particular, these results suggest that S. cerevisiae uses different regulation strategies for responding to these insults: regulation of two reactions accounted for most of the tolerance to the four weak organic acids, whereas the response to 3-aminotriazole was distributed among multiple reactions. Moreover, we observed that the magnitude of the gene expression changes was not directly correlated with their effect on the ability of S. cerevisiae to grow under these treatments. In addition, we identified another potential mechanism of action of 3-aminotriazole associated with the depletion of tetrahydrofolate. Conclusions: Our simulation results show that the modeling framework provided an accurate mechanistic link between gene expression and cellular metabolism. The proposed method allowed us to integrate transcriptome, fluxome, and metabolome data to determine and interpret important features of the physiological response of yeast to stresses. Importantly, given its flexibility and robustness, our approach can be applied to investigate the transcriptional-metabolic response in other cellular systems of medical and industrial relevance.

JO - BONE JF - BONE Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 55 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 359 EP - 366 SN - 87563282 AB - Abstract: Background: Prior studies have identified some risk factors for stress fracture in athletes and military recruits. Objective: To determine whether historical factors, physical measures, biochemical variables of skeletal metabolism, genetic factors, bone density (BMD) and bone size could predict risk of stress fracture over 4years in physically fit cadets at the US Military Academy (USMA). Methods: Baseline surveys, assessments of height, weight, scores on the Army Physical Fitness Test, and peripheral BMD were obtained in all cadets (755 men, 136 women), and central BMD in a subset. Blood samples were analyzed for variables of calcium homeostasis, bone turnover, and selected hormones and genetic factors. Stress fractures were adjudicated by review of orthopedic notes and imaging reports. Results: 5.7% of male and 19.1% of female cadets had at least 1 stress fracture (58% metatarsal and 29% tibial), most within 3months of entry to USMA. In males, risk of stress fracture was higher in those who exercised <7h per week during the prior year (RR 2.31; CI 1.29,4.12), and in those with smaller tibial cortical area (RR 1.12; CI 1.03,1.23), lower tibial bone mineral content (RR 1.11; CI 1.03,1.20) and smaller femoral neck diameter (RR 1.35, CI 1.01, 1.81). In women, higher stress fracture risk was seen in those with shorter time since menarche (RR 1.44 per year; CI 1.19, 1.73) and smaller femoral neck diameter (RR 1.16; CI 1.01, 1.33.). Conclusion: Although prior physical training in men, length of prior estrogen exposure in women and leg bone dimensions in both genders played a role, the maximum variance explained by all of these factors was below 10%. We conclude these factors play a minor role in the development of stress fractures in physically fit USMA cadets.

Because of phase separation between the metal–ligandcomplex and the polymer matrix, these polymers have a rubbery plateaumodulus that is 10 times higher than expected based on the theoryof rubber elasticity. Differences in the metal–ligand bondstrength influence the mechanical behavior at high temperature andstrains. Because of the particularly weak bond strength associatedwith the copper–ligand bond, the metallopolymer containingcopper degrades at a lower temperature and has lower yield strength,ultimate tensile strength, and creep resistance than polymers containingcobalt and zinc. To tune the properties of the polymer further, apolymer is made with both copper and cobalt ions. The hybrid polymercombines the properties of the stiffer cobalt-containing polymer withthe more compliant copper-containing polymer.

The high toxicity and environmental persistence of VX make the development of novel decontamination methods particularly important. The enzyme phosphotriesterase (PTE) is capable of hydrolyzing VX but with an enzymatic efficiency more than 5 orders of magnitude lower than with its best substrate, paraoxon. PTE has previously proven amenable to directed evolution for the improvement of catalytic activity against selected compounds through the manipulation of active-site residues. Here, a series of sequential two-site mutational libraries encompassing 12 active-site residues of PTE was created. The libraries were screened for catalytic activity against a new VX analogue, DEVX, which contains the same thiolate leaving group of VX coupled to a diethoxyphosphate core rather than the ethoxymethylphosphonate core of VX. The evolved catalytic activity with DEVX was enhanced 26-fold relative to wild-type PTE. Further improvements were facilitated by targeted error-prone PCR mutagenesis of loop-7, and additional PTE variants were identified with up to a 78-fold increase in the rate of DEVX hydrolysis. The best mutant hydrolyzed the racemic nerve agent VX with a value of kcat/Km = 7 × 104 M–1 s–1, a 230-fold improvement relative to wild-type PTE. The highest turnover number achieved by the mutants created for this investigation was 137 s–1, an enhancement of 152-fold relative to wild-type PTE. The stereoselectivity for the hydrolysis of the two enantiomers of VX was relatively low. These engineered mutants of PTE are the best catalysts ever reported for the hydrolysis of nerve agent VX.

Some potential immune correlates of protection were untested in the correlates analyses due to in-herent assay limitations, as well as the need to keep the correlates analysis focused on a limited number of endpoints to achieve statistical power. In an RV144 pilot study, we determined that RV144 vaccination elicited antibodies that could bind infectious virions (including the vaccine strains HIV-1 CM244 and HIV-1 MN and an HIV-1 strain expressing transmitted/founder Env, B.WITO.c). Among vaccinees with the highest IgG binding antibody profile, the majority (78%) captured the infectious vaccine strain virus (CM244), while a smaller proportion of vaccinees (26%) captured HIV-1 transmitted/founder Env virus. We demon-strated that vaccine-elicited HIV-1 gpl20 antibodies of multiple specificities (V3, V2, conformational CI, and gpl20 conforma-tional) mediated capture of infectious virions. Although capture of infectious HIV-1 correlated with other humoral immune responses, the extent of variation between these humoral responses and virion capture indicates that virion capture antibodies occupy unique immunological space.

JO - Journal of Organic Chemistry JF - Journal of Organic Chemistry Y1 - 2013/07/05/ VL - 78 IS - 13 M3 - Article SP - 6457 EP - 6470 SN - 00223263 AB - The hydrolysis of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide has been examined in an effort to better understand its mechanism under more concentrated conditions. Two salts formed during hydrolysis were synthesized, and an emphasis was placed on determining their effect on the reaction as it proceeded. Unexpected changes in mechanism were seen when excess chloride was added to the reaction. By measuring rates and product distributions as the products were added back into the hydrolysis, a mechanism was developed. The formation of these sulfonium salts represents additional products in the disappearance of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide with k3 in particular causing a deviation away from expected first-order behavior. Sulfonium salts 3 and 4 do not appear to interconvert, and the system as a whole had fewer pathways available than previously proposed. Initial conditions for studying the hydrolysis were very important and could lead to different conclusions depending on the conditions used. This work will aid in better understanding the hydrolysis of the very toxic chemical warfare agent mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide) in the environment and during its decontamination.

JO - Clinical Biomechanics JF - Clinical Biomechanics Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 28 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 602 EP - 609 SN - 02680033 AB - Abstract: Background: While cervical spine injury biomechanics reviews in motor vehicle and sports environments are available, there is a paucity of studies in military loadings. This article presents an analysis on the biomechanics and applications of cervical spine injury research with an emphasis on human tolerance for underbody blast loadings in the military. Methods: Following a brief review of published military studies on the occurrence and identification of field trauma, postmortem human subject investigations are described using whole body, intact head–neck complex, osteo-ligamentous cervical spine with head, subaxial cervical column, and isolated segments subjected to differing types of dynamic loadings (electrohydraulic and pendulum impact devices, free-fall drops). Findings: Spine injuries have shown an increasing trend over the years, explosive devices are one of the primary causal agents and trauma is attributed to vertical loads. Injuries, mechanisms and tolerances are discussed under these loads. Probability-based injury risk curves are included based on loading rate, direction and age. Interpretation: A unique advantage of human cadaver tests is the ability to obtain fundamental data to delineate injury biomechanics and establish human tolerance and injury criteria. Definitions of tolerances of the spine under vertical loads based on injuries have implications in clinical and biomechanical applications. Primary outputs such as forces and moments can be used to derive secondary variables such as the neck injury criterion. Implications are discussed for designing anthropomorphic test devices that may be used to predict injuries in underbody blast environments and improve the safety of military personnel.

Traditionally, combat helmets have been utilized to provide protection against shrapnel and ballistic threats, which have reduced head injuries and fatalities. However, home-made bombs or improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have been increasingly used in theatre of operations since the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly blast-induced TBI, which is typically not accompanied by external body injuries, is becoming prevalent among injured soldiers. The responses of personal protective equipment, especially combat helmets, to blast events are relatively unknown. There is an urgent need to develop head protection systems with blast protection/mitigation capabilities in addition to ballistic protection. Modern military operations, ammunitions, and technology driven war tactics require a lightweight headgear that integrates protection mechanisms (against ballistics, blasts, heat, and noise), sensors, night vision devices, and laser range finders into a single system. The current article provides a comparative study on the design, materials, and ballistic and blast performance of the combat helmets used by the US Army based on a comprehensive and critical review of existing studies. Mechanisms of ballistic energy absorption, effects of helmet curvatures on ballistic performance, and performance measures of helmets are discussed. Properties of current helmet materials (including Kevlar® K29, K129 fibers and thermoset resins) and future candidate materials for helmets (such as nano-composites and thermoplastic polymers) are elaborated. Also, available experimental and computational studies on blast-induced TBI are examined, and constitutive models developed for brain tissues are reviewed. Finally, the effectiveness of current combat helmets against TBI is analyzed along with possible avenues for future research.

JO - Ground Water JF - Ground Water Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 539 EP - 549 SN - 0017467X AB - Implementation of aquifer storage recovery (ASR) for water resource management in Florida is impeded by arsenic mobilization. Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during the recharge phase, sometimes results in groundwater concentrations that exceed the 10 µg/L criterion defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act. ASR was proposed as a major storage component for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), in which excess surface water is stored during the wet season, and then distributed during the dry season for ecosystem restoration. To evaluate ASR system performance for CERP goals, three cycle tests were conducted, with extensive water-quality monitoring in the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) at the Kissimmee River ASR (KRASR) pilot system. During each cycle test, redox evolution from sub-oxic to sulfate-reducing conditions occurs in the UFA storage zone, as indicated by decreasing Fe2+/H2S mass ratios. Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during recharge, is sequestered during storage and recovery by co-precipitation with iron sulfide. Mineral saturation indices indicate that amorphous iron oxide (a sorption surface for arsenic) is stable only during oxic and sub-oxic conditions of the recharge phase, but iron sulfide (which co-precipitates arsenic) is stable during the sulfate-reducing conditions of the storage and recovery phases. Resultant arsenic concentrations in recovered water are below the 10 µg/L regulatory criterion during cycle tests 2 and 3. The arsenic sequestration process is appropriate for other ASR systems that recharge treated surface water into a sulfate-reducing aquifer.

In this paperwe reviewthe evidence linking specific brain structures to self-reflection. The brain regions most associated with self-reflection are the posterior cingulate and medial prefrontal (mPFC) cortices, together known as the cortical midline structures (CMSs).We review evidence arguing that self-reflection is special in memory, while noting that these brain regions are often engaged when we think about others in our social worlds. Based on the CMSs' patterns of connectivity and activity, we speculate about three possible interpretations of their role in supporting self-reflection that are somewhat overlapping, and not intended to be mutually exclusive. First, self may be a powerful, but ordinary case for a cognitive system specialized for thinking about people. Second, mPFC may serve as a processing "hub," binding together information from all sensory modalities with internally generated information. Third, mPFC may serve as a cortical director of thought, helping to guide moment-by-moment conscious processing. Suggestions are made for future research avenues aimed at testing such possibilities.

JO - Computers in Human Behavior JF - Computers in Human Behavior Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 29 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1686 EP - 1694 SN - 07475632 AB - Videogames are increasingly being used as instructional tools within education, workforce, and military contexts. Yet, additional research is needed to better understand what (and how) videogame-based training design attributes impact trainee performance in this type of training context. Goals/goal-setting and performance feedback represent two such important game design attributes. Goal-setting theory suggests that moderately difficult goals produce modest goal-performance discrepancies, which result in enhanced performance. Yet, goal-performance discrepancies are not universally beneficial. This study investigates the performance consequences of trainees setting an unrealistically difficult goal early in videogame-based training, and the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Data from 387 trainees completing a videogame-based training program demonstrated that an initial unrealistic goal, and subsequently a large goal-performance discrepancy, negatively impacts subsequent training performance. Self-regulation was examined as a mediator of this relationship; yet, was not supported, as goal-performance discrepancy failed to predict self-regulation. However, goal-performance discrepancy and videogame self-efficacy were found to interact in predicting trainees’ self-regulation, suggesting more complex underlying mechanisms. This study also demonstrated that providing trainees with simple goal-setting advisement can facilitate realistic goal-setting. These findings highlight the important role of realistic goal-setting in enhancing videogame-based training effectiveness.

Recently, a considerable amount of work has been published on optimal conditions for single-update placement of homogeneous sensors (same type and same measurement quality) in which the targets are either assumed perfectly known or the target location uncertainty is averaged out via the expected value of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix (FIM). We derive conditions for optimal placement of heterogeneous sensors based on maximization of the information matrix to be updated by the heterogeneous sensors from an arbitrary Gaussian prior characterizing the uncertainty about the initial target location. The heterogeneous sensors can be of the same or different types (ranging sensors, bearing-only sensors, or both). The sensors can also make, over several time steps, multiple independent measurements of different qualities. Placement strategies are derived and their performance is illustrated via simulation examples.

At typical operating temperatures (T ∼77K), the dark current of GaSb/InAs SLS LWIR detectors is dominated by the Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) generation–recombination (g–r) process in the space-charge (depletion) region. In order to suppress this dark current, a wide bandgap region next to the absorber layer has been included in recent SLS designs. A series of heterojunction-based LWIR SLS detectors with various doping and barrier profiles have been designed and characterized. The significance of the doping profile and thickness of the wide-bandgap layer in optimization of the heterojunction-based SLS detector performance are exhibited from the modeling and experimental results of these devices.

Based on past research, we hypothesized that the SA measures would be sensitive to individual (squad leader) differences, and that the frequency of specific probes would reveal differences in critical SA requirements among scenarios. Three infantry squads performed multiple trials across two different scenarios. A confederate platoon leader posed probes to squad leaders during trials and experts made ratings afterward. Results revealed squad leaders had similar responses to probes, despite differences in combat experience. Analysis of probe frequency revealed different high priority SA elements and decisions for each scenario. The SA behavior and communication ratings revealed differences among squads, which trended with experience. Measures of SA were also consistent across the test scenario as a result of similar mission types and task difficulties. We discuss the implication of our findings for future research and theory within this area.

T1 - Evaluation of a compression resistant matrix for recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2. JO - Journal of Clinical Periodontology JF - Journal of Clinical Periodontology Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 40 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 688 EP - 697 SN - 03036979 AB - Background Previous studies document the therapeutic potential of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh BMP-2) in an absorbable collagen sponge ( ACS) carrier for indications in the axial and appendicular skeleton. Nevertheless, the ACS does not comprise structural integrity to adequately support bone formation for onlay indications. The objective of this study was to evaluate local bone formation and osseointegration following surgical implantation of rh BMP-2 soak-loaded onto a compression resistant matrix ( CRM). Methods Routine, contralateral, critical-size, supraalveolar, peri-implant defects in five adult male Hound Labrador mongrel dogs received 0.8 mg rh BMP-2 soak-loaded onto either the ACS (benchmark control) or a CRM (collagen/ β- TCP/hydroxyapatite) followed by submerged wound closure for primary intention healing. The animals were euthanized at 8 weeks for histologic/histometric evaluation. Results Healing was uneventful albeit considerable initial swelling was observed for either treatment. Sites receiving rh BMP-2/ CRM showed significantly increased bone area (20.0 ± 0.9 versus 12.3 ± 2.6 mm2, p = 0.03) and bone density (24.1 ± 1.4% versus 14.6 ± 2.0%, p = 0.04) compared with those receiving rh BMP-2/ ACS. There were no significant differences between treatments for new bone height and osseointegration. Woven and lamellar trabecular bone lined with abundant osteoid was observed for all sites. Inconsistent cortex formation confirmed the immature nature of the newly formed bone. Seroma formation was observed for both treatments (80-100% of the animals/implants). Sites receiving rh BMP-2/ CRM showed residual ceramic granules undergoing biodegradation, including accumulation of foamy macrophages. Conclusions rh BMP-2/ CRM supports bone formation of clinically relevant geometry. Longer observation intervals as well as dose variations appear necessary to capture maturation of the newly formed bone, elimination of residual ceramic granules and resolution of seroma formation(s).

When this external phase shift βc compensates the intrinsic phase shift β0, caused by the STNO nonlinearity, a phase-locking regime with increased output power and vanishing inhomogeneous linewidth broadening is achieved. In the opposite case, when external and intrinsic phase shifts are added, the STNO array demonstrates a frustration regime with low output power and wide and noisy frequency spectrum.

Here, we demonstrate unusual spin transport through a molecule of two Cs8V magnetic superatoms. Calculations based on density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green’s function methods find a much higher current for the spin-down charge carriers relative to the spin-up carriers in the model Au–(Cs8V)–(Cs8V)–Au device system with almost 100% spin polarization, indicating a highly efficient spin polarizer. The new behavior is rooted in strong coupling of the localized magnetic core on V and the itinerant electrons of the Cs shell atoms leading to nearly full spin polarization.

Upon infrared excitation, the stimulated emission of the nanocrystal-doped microbeads exhibits sharp peaks at λ∼610 nm with narrow line widths of ≤1 nm. The lasing action has been attributed to the biexciton gain coupled to the whispering gallery modes in spherical cavities, as confirmed by time-resolved photoluminescence spectra. The lasing lifetime characterized in term of pulse numbers (∼106 pulses) was two orders of magnitude longer than that of the dye salt-based two-photon lasers.

The flatband condition is precisely determined by examining the zero-crossing of the electroreflectance signal. The polarization field determined by the flatband condition is 840±150 kV/cm, in the direction opposite to the built-in field. The corresponding polarization charge at the heterointerface is 0.008±0.002 C/m2. Our experimental result indicates that in the semipolar InGaN/GaN QW there is a crossover angle between the C-axis and the growth direction where the polarization field vanishes.

The growth of such twins requires the emission of Shockley partials from the grain boundary on successive slip planes. However, it is statistically improbable for a partial to exist on every slip plane. Here we propose a dislocation reaction and cross-slip mechanism on the grain boundary that would supply a partial on every successive slip plane for twin growth. This mechanism can also produce a twin with macrostrain smaller than that caused by a conventional twin.

Arrays of microcavities, each having an elliptical cross-sectional geometry with major and minor axis lengths of 800 and 600 µm, respectively, and depths adjustable from 40 to 300 µm, exhibit a pronounced dependence of the emitter electron current on microcavity depth. For electric field strengths at the emitter surface of ∼5–12 V/µm, the RMS current density generated by an array of 250 µm-deep microcavities with a packing density of 214±2 cm-2 ranges from ∼3 mA cm-2 to beyond 8 mA cm-2, or more than a factor of five larger than that produced from a planar PZT surface.

We demonstrate that the polarization field in a quantum well can be determined by the electric field in the barrier region measured by Franz–Keldysh oscillations. The polarization field is found to be 575±150 kV/cm, in the same direction as the built-in field. The corresponding polarization is 0.006±0.002 C/m2. Our experimental result indicates that in the semipolar InGaN/GaN QW there is a crossover angle where the polarization field vanishes, and this crossover angle is less than 58°.

It is stated that ventilation events in sewers are complex phenomena because of the unpredictable nature of the air exerting forces and the complex interaction between the system air space and the ambient surroundings. It mentioned several pressure-inducing events which include siphon, barometric and wind pressure, downstream air capacity reduction and drop-structure turbulence. It is revealed that temperature difference is important in a cold climate where ambient temperature is different from sewer air temperature.

Various defects such as disbonds at the insert-substrate interface, cracks and porosity in the MMC layer, etc. can be introduced during the manufacturing process and/or in service. This paper presents a portable ultrasonic system to automatically inspect tank track shoes for disbond. Ultrasonic pulse/echo inspection has shown good reliability for disbond detection. A prototype sensor array fixture has been designed and fabricated to prove the feasibility. Good agreements between the sensor fixture results and ultrasonic C-scan images were obtained. © 2007 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Nutritional interventions claiming to relieve stress and depression, increase energy or improve memory are common. Limited regulatory requirements for marketing dietary supplements or special diets, particularly in comparison with drugs, place substantial responsibility on scientists conducting research in this area. Agreement on scientific standards for the conduct and evaluation of research is clearly desirable, so that scientists can achieve consensus regarding such claims. Many of the methods used to assess dietary supplements and other nutritional factors are similar to those used in other fields, such as psychopharmacology, and are widely accepted by investigators conducting nutrition and behaviour research. Key methods in common include use of double-blind procedures, dose–response studies and placebo treatments. Some of these procedures can be difficult or impossible to implement in nutritional studies. Other critical methods, such as selection of appropriate tests to assess cognitive performance and mood state, are more controversial among scientists working in this and other areas, and difficult to standardise. Scientific consensus on these issues will ensure availability of safe and efficacious dietary supplements and help eliminate dangerous or ineffective products.

Only a small percentage end at the negotiating table. While significant attention has been paid to how internal wars begin and how they evolve, relatively little attention has been paid to how they are concluded. What research has been done on this subject, furthermore, has focused almost exclusively on the problems that stand in the way of achieving a negotiated outcome, not on how these conflicts are so frequently resolved by force. This article examines the dynamics of the endgame struggle and the quite different ways in which states and insurgencies ‘win’ and ‘lose’ internal wars. We explore this topic theoretically and empirically in the first part of the article and examine the formal logic of the endgame in the second part, explaining how and why these endings follow a predictable pattern.

This innovative structure consists of four sloped granite blocks spaced across the Lamoille River upstream of the village and adjacent to a treed floodplain. It arrests ice runs, forms partially grounded jams, and retains these jams for hours to days. The measured ice-hydraulic characteristics of the breakup runs and resulting ice jams (e.g., wave celerities and amplitudes, porous-flow seepage coefficients) are similar to characteristics obtained from the 1:10-scale model tests used to develop the structure. Seepage coefficients, and hence jam porosities, generally increase with increasing discharge, and only two breakup events have caused floodplain flow. Water temperatures of 0.1–0.3°C measured during a breakup event confirm that ice melting can account for the rate of porosity increase. Field and model data indicate that ice-jam holding time and jam-release discharge increase with increasing ice-piece thickness to a threshold of 6–7% of ICS gap width, beyond which no releases occur. Consistency between prototype and model ice-hydraulic characteristics and ice-holding capacity reinforce the conclusion that the sloped-block ICS can reliably retain ice jams during breakup events that pose the greatest flood threat: thick, strong ice, and large breakup waves. This ice-retention behavior can account for the observed reduction in ice-jam flooding in Hardwick during the past 11 seasons.

These low insolation levels motivate inclusion into solar collectors a tracking mechanism to increase the yield. Classical active tracking is complicated and energy intensive, negating tracking benefits for PV modules and thermal flat-plate collectors. In this paper, the performance of PV modules with daily two-positional tracking is studied. The positions are symmetrical about the north-south axis, corresponding to the positions of the sun in the morning and in the afternoon. The tracking drive is simple and requires a minimum energy input during the brief daily triggering of the movement. Results indicate that the seasonal energy yield is increased by 10–20% over the yield from a fixed south-facing collector, tilted at an optimal angle. The results are based on long-term solar data, measured at the Tartu-Tõravere Meteorological Station in Estonia, and have been confirmed with experiments in summer 2004 at Tallinn University of Technology.

Comparison of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) on UV LED wafers prior to fabrication with subsequent device testing indicate that the best performance is attained from active regions that exhibit both reduced nonradiative recombination due to saturation of traps associated with point and extended defects and concomitant lowering of radiative lifetime with increasing carrier density. Similar behavior is observed in optically pumped UV lasers. Temperature and intensity dependent TRPL measurements on a new material, AlGaN containing nanoscale compositional inhomogeneities (NCI), show that it inherently combines inhibition of nonradiative recombination with reduction of radiative lifetime, providing a potentially higher efficiency UV emitter active region.

The study site presented austere testing conditions. Held-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes spiked with inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and individual and pooled, field-collected, A. aegypti, A. albopictus, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes were used for RT-PCR assay evaluations. For dengue virus-inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and spiked samples, in vitro sensitivity and specificity results for all five assays were concordant with indirect fluorescent antibody assay results. A single pool of field-collected, female, A. aegypti mosquitoes was identified as dengue virus positive. Cross-reactivity was not observed across heterologous serotypes, mosquito vectors, or human DNA. The limit of detection was >7 to ≤70 genomic equivalents. Sample processing and analysis required <2 hours. These results show promise of field-formatted RT-PCR reagents fur rapid, sensitive, specific dengue virus screening and serotype identification in mosquitoes under field-deployed conditions.

This study determined the efficacy of three hypothermia prevention strategies: the ChillBuster warming blanket, ChillBuster with a reflective blanket, and two wool blankets. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare changes in core temperature. Following resuscitation from hypovolemic shock, 20 swine were assigned to one of the three interventions, placed in an environmental chamber set to reproduce in-flight conditions onboard a military cargo aircraft (50°F/airspeed 0.2 m/s), and monitored for 6 hours. A repeated measures analysis of variance and least-squared difference post hoc were performed. The ChillBuster/reflective blanket group was significantly warmer than the ChillBuster only group and the wool blanket group (p < 0.01). After 6 hours of cold exposure, the ChillBuster/reflective blanket group remained warm while the ChillBuster only and wool blanket groups developed mild hypothermia. Combined use of a warming blanket and reflective blanket was effective in preventing hypothermia over 6 hours and is feasible in a deployed military environment.

Because RSDL may need to he used to decontaminate wounded personnel, we conducted an assessment of the effect of this agent on wound healing. A skin incision model using male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 19 rats/group) was used. A 7.0-cm incision was made through the skin, and RSDL was (experimental group) or was not (control group) applied to the open wound; the wound edges were then approximated with sutures. Seven days later, animals were euthanized and wound samples were taken. Healing was assessed by measuring mechanical strength, collagen content, and histological appearance. RSDL-treated wounds had 23% lower tensile strength (p < 0.05) and 11% lower collagen content (p < 0.05) than did the untreated control wounds. Histological assessments did not differ significantly between groups. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the application of RSDL directly to an open wound impairs wound strength and decreases collagen content in the early phases of wound healing. This may have clinical implications for the treatment and outcomes of chemical casualty combat trauma.

Thirty-five healthy, active duty, U.S. Army volunteers (20 men and 15 women; age, 22-36 years) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, supplemented their diet for 7 days with 20 g/day of either Cr or taurine (as placebo). There was no significant difference in 2-minute push-up counts between the Cr and taurine groups from before to after supplementation (p = 0.437; power = 0.98). The Cr group demonstrated a significant increase in serum creatinine levels (p < 0.001), compared with the taurine group, and this increase could be misinterpreted as impairment of renal function. No adverse changes in blood pressure, body composition, weight, or serum Cr phosphokinase levels were observed. We conclude that short-term Cr supplementation appears to be safe but does not enhance push-up performance.

Secondary data collected for 24 U.S.-based Army hospitals and medical centers for the years 2001 to 2003 are the basis for this analysis. Technical efficiency was measured by using data envelopment analysis; subsequently, efficiency estimates were included in logarithmic-linear cost models that specified cost as a function of volume, complexity, efficiency, time, and facility type. These logarithmic-linear models were compared against stochastic frontier analysis models. A parsimonious, three-variable, logarithmic-linear model composed of volume, complexity, and efficiency variables exhibited a strong linear relationship with observed costs (R² = 0.98). This model also proved reliable in forecasting (R² = 0.96). Based on our analysis, as much as $120 million might be reallocated to improve the United States-based Army hospital performance evaluated in this study.

The energy dissipation rate due to irregular breaking waves is estimated using an existing formula that is modified for intense wave breaking on the steep seaward slope of the breakwater. This computationally efficient numerical model is an extension of the existing time-averaged model which is widely used to predict irregular breaking wave transformation on impermeable beaches. The developed model is shown to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation measured in a laboratory experiment where a submerged porous breakwater was placed on a gentle impermeable slope. The agreement for the measured horizontal velocity is marginal partly because this one-dimensional model does not predict the vertical velocity variation. This semiempirical model calibrated using the present experiment will need to be compared with additional experiments.

The objective of this project was to investigate whether surface applied emulsions could capture airborne radioactive particulate. Laboratory experiments included wind-blown particulate capture studies using an acrylic column and particulate retainment experiments using a wind box capable of producing wind speeds of 96 km/h. A probe methodology was developed to relate particulate retainment to a tack force on the emulsion surface. Experiments were also performed to determine the potential for such emulsions to absorb particulate matter into their emulsion matrix. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions outperformed asphalt emulsions in terms of particulate retention, tack force, and the ability to absorb magnesium silicate. Both tall-oil-pitch and asphalt emulsions were capable of extracting 22–24 g m-2 of powder from particulate-laden airflow. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions were capable of retaining as much as 5–10% of magnesium silicate powder applied (i.e., retainment densities of 10–20 g m-2) even after seven days of curing and after applying 96.5 km/h(60 mph) wind. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions were able to absorb surface-applied magnesium silicate (approximately 0.1–0.2 g of magnesium silicate per 1.0 g of emulsion within three days) into their emulsion matrix, preventing the magnesium silicate from being exposed to the external environment. Initial results with these five different emulsion formulations suggested particulate capture was feasible. Future emulsion formulations (i.e., longer curing times with greater acid concentrations) should be tested to optimize this postdetonation response strategy.

In Experiment 1, we gauged musicians' and nonmusicians' learning efficiency for meaningful and less meaningful melodies as well as sentences when presented visually or auditorily. In Experiment 2, we tested the effects of the same variables on memory. Presentation modality did not make a difference, but learning-style preference did. Visual learners learned visually presented items faster and remembered them better than auditorily presented ones, and auditory learners did the reverse. Also, as expected, meaningful sentences were learned faster and remembered better than less meaningful ones. However, although musicians also learned meaningful melodies faster and remembered them better than less meaningful melodies, this was not the case for nonmusicians.

Comprehensive models are developed to simulate the heat and mass transfer processes during melt casting of energetic materials, as well as the resulting thermal stresses induced. The thermal and stress models are dynamically coupled. Predictions from the validated numerical model show excellent agreement with experimental measurements. The size and location of the separation are also predicted by the present model. Means to control and suppress separation are explored, and it is demonstrated that the separation can be controlled through proper choice of cooling conditions.

The advance of these programs is challenged by the reality that few empirical data are available for the tens of thousands of commercial substances that require evaluation. Therefore, most preliminary assessments rely on model predictions and data extrapolation. In November 2005, a workshop was held for experts from governments, industry, and academia to examine the availability and quality of in vivo fish bioconcentration and bioaccumulation data, and to propose steps to improve its prediction. The workshop focused on fish data because regulatory assessments predominantly focus on the bioconcentration of substances from water into fish, as measured using in vivo tests or predicted using computer models. In this article we review of the quantity, features, and public availability of bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biota--sediment accumulation data. The workshop revealed that there is significant overlap in the data contained within the various fish bioaccumulation data sources reviewed, and further, that no database contained all of the available fish bioaccumulation data. We believe that a majority of the available bioaccumulation data have been used in the development and testing of quantitative structure--activity relationships and computer models currently in use. Workshop recommendations included the publication of guidance on bioconcentration study quality, the combination of data from various sources to permit better access for modelers and assessors, and the review of chemical domains of existing models to identify areas for expansion.

While many corporations place a great deal of importance and invest a lot of time and money in their intranets, most do not have a reliable means of seeing how the intranets meet specific business needs, if they do at all. The authors state that companies need to move beyond usage statistics as a way of measuring effectiveness and develop tools to reveal the tangible impacts of intranets on business productivity.

The RPPs will be subjected to lateral (bending) forces, and their ability to resist deformation will strongly influence the success of the RPPs for stabilizing slopes. Arrhenius modeling was used to predict the time for the RPPs to reach creep failure. Engineering properties and strain rate effect of four different types of RPPs were evaluated and are reported in this paper. Arrhenius modeling showed creep failure ranged from 50 to 3,900 years at field temperature and stress levels. Compressive strengths ranged from 11 to 20 MPa and compressive moduli from 580 to 1,280 MPa at 1% strain, while flexural strengths ranged from 9 to 25 MPa and flexural moduli from 620 to 1675 MPa at 1% strain.

The validity of the self-report instrument is an important consideration in any study. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the validity of self-reported Army Physical fitness Test (APFT) scores. The APFT is administered to all soldiers in the U.S. Army twice a year and consists of the maximum number of push-ups completed in 2 minutes, the maximum number of sit-ups completed in 2 minutes, and a 2-mile run for time. Army mechanics responded to a questionnaire in March and June 2004 asking them to report the exact scores of each event on their most recent APFT, Actual APFT scores were obtained from the soldier's military unit. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of actual and self-reported numbers of push-ups was 61 ± 14 and 65 ± 13, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported numbers of sit-ups were 68 ± 10 and 68 ± 10, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported run times (minutes) were 14.8 ± 1.4 and 14.6 ± 1.4, respectively. Correlations between actual and self-reported push-ups, sit-ups, and run were 0.83, 0.71, and 0.85, respectively. On average, soldiers tended to slightly over-report performance on all APFT events and individual self-reported scores could vary widely from actual scores based on Bland-Airman plots. Despite this, the close correlations between the actual and self-reported scores suggest that self-reported values are adequate for most epidemiological military studies involving larger sample sizes.

The hybrid loop integrates active mechanical pumping with passive capillary pumping promising a reliable yet high performance cooling system. The advanced evaporator design using porous wick structures was developed for the hybrid loop to enhance boiling heat transfer by passive phase separation. The prototype testing using various hybrid loops and components demonstrated that the hybrid loop was capable of removing high heat fluxes from multiple heat sources with large surface areas up to 135 cm2. Because of the passive capillary phase separation, the hybrid loop operation doesn’t require any active flow control of excess liquid in the evaporator, even at highly transient and asymmetrical heat inputs. These performance results represent significant improvements over state-of-the-art heat pipes, loop heat pipes and evaporative spray cooling devices in terms of performance, robustness and simplicity. © 2007 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The essays that grew out of that discussion are presented in this issue of JME. I argue that combatants on any side of a conflict are moral equals. Two fundamental perspectives inform my argument, the first having to do with social contract theory and the second having to do with the ignorance of combatants with respect to the justice of their nations' wars. Individuals give over to the sovereign their right to use force: they may not seek vengeance in the domestic arena nor are they permitted to wage private wars. As such, it seems inconsistent to demand that the soldier relinquish to the state the authority and responsibility to use violence, and at the same time to condemn her for doing so. It also seems extraordinarily unreasonable to expect combatants really to know, in the relevant sense, the justice of the war. If, as is the case with the current war in Iraq, the so-called cognoscenti disagree about the morality of the war, then it would be almost indecent to suggest that combatants could have the sort of knowledge that would render them morally culpable.

One of the most prominent of these "traditionalists" was Brigadier General Hamilton S. Hawkins. Hawkins contended that mechanized vehicles would never be capable or numerous enough to completely eliminate the use of horse cavalry. Even as mechanized forces dominated the battlefield during World War II, Hawkins continued to write about the need for horse cavalry. Faced with overwhelming evidence in favor of mechanized vehicles, Hawkins ultimately demonstrated that his advocacy of the horse was a matter of faith and not of empirical evidence.

The Department of Defense Dental Classification System is intended to identify military personnel at the greatest risk for dental emergencies, allowing military dental assets to prioritize dental treatment. Only two studies have been published on the emergency rates of U.S. Army Soldiers since 2000, both detailing emergency rates for Soldiers deployed to Bosnia. The Stabilization Force VII study identified that Soldiers experienced dental emergencies at a rate of 156 per 1,000 per year, whereas the Stabilization Force VIII study found the rate of 170 per 1,000 per year. No studies have been conducted for the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom due to difficulty in capturing all dental treatment encounters. Researchers should attempt to standardize the nomenclature and definitions to aid in the comparability of future dental emergency rate studies.

The retention of individuals entering service with a waiver for hearing deficiency has not been previously studied. Methods: Military retention among new enlistees with a medical waiver for hearing deficiency was compared with that among a matched comparison group of fully qualified enlistees. Comparisons according to branch of service over the first 3 years of service were performed with the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and proportional-hazards model. Results: Army subjects had significantly lower retention rates than did their fully qualified counterparts. In the adjusted model, Army and Navy enlistees with a waiver for hearing deficiency had a significantly lower likelihood of retention than did their matched counterparts. Discussion: The increased likelihood of medical attrition in enlistees with a waiver for hearing loss provides no evidence to make the hearing accession standard more lenient and validates a selective hearing loss waiver policy.

Meeting this objective often requires balancing competing interests between employers and employees. The medical examination is the method for protecting the government's interests in identifying federal civilian applicants and workers who are medically unqualified to perform their duties while also preventing discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Scant published guidance on performing authorized medical examinations and analyzing the resultant information is available for federal medical officers. This is needed to foster an equitable, compliant decision for both federal employers and employees. Using the Department of Defense as an example, this article provides a legal road map for the practitioner by defining medical standards and physical requirements, discussing medical examinations, and examining disability determinations.

JO - Nutrition & Metabolism JF - Nutrition & Metabolism Y1 - 2007/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 10 PB - BioMed Central SN - 17437075 AB - Purpose: To determine the influence of menstrual irregularity, oral contraceptive use and other factors on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone size at different skeletal sites in 135 college-aged fit women. Methods: Menstrual history, oral contraceptive use, exercise history, and nutritional factors including calcium, caffeine, and alcohol intake as well as tobacco use were determined by written survey. Height, weight and fitness levels were measured. Spine and hip BMD were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), calcaneus BMD by peripheral DXA, and tibial bone mineral content (BMC) and size by peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT). Results: The mean age was 18.4 ± 0.8 years. Weight and prior exercise were positively related to BMD at most skeletal sites and to tibial bone size. Milk intake was positively related to calcaneal BMD, tibial BMC and cortical thickness. Fracture history was an important predictor of spine, hip and heel BMD. Women who had ≥10 menstrual cycles in the year prior to BMD measurement had higher BMD at all sites as well as a greater tibial mineral content and cortical thickness than women who had oligomenorrhea/amenorrhea (≤ 9 cycles in the prior year; all p < 0.05). Oral Contraceptive (OC) users had significantly lower BMD in the spine (p < 0.02) and calcaneus (p = 0.04), smaller tibial periosteal circumference and lower tibial mineral content (p < 0.02) than non-OC users. Conclusion: In a population of fit, college-aged women, OC use and oligomenorrhea were associated with reduced BMD and bone size. Weight, as well as prior exercise and milk intake was positively related to bone density and size at some skeletal sites. Understanding these relationships would help improve skeletal health in young women.

In all cases, an overall first-order kinetic behavior was observed. The rate constants, half-lives, activation energies, and Arrhenius pre-exponential factors were determined. The latter was found to vary linearly with pH. Based on these findings, general formulas for the hydrolysis kinetics of the three polymorphs were developed.

Upon shear-induced particle migration during manufacturing, concentration gradients of the rigid particles are developed that lead to burn rate gradients to alter the overall burn rate behavior of the energetic grains. Here it is demonstrated that changes in the burn rates would occur both in drag and pressure-driven processing flows under conditions in which the particle radius over the gap of the processing geometry is appreciable. Typical results are provided.

Estimated exposure dosages producing lethal (LCT50) effects in 50% of exposed male and female rats were established for 10, 60, and 240 min exposure durations. A potency comparison with GB and GF shows that VX becomes increasingly more potent than these G agents with increasing exposure duration. VX is approximately 4–30 times more potent than GB and 5–15 times more potent than GF. Gender differences in the estimated median dosages were not significant at the 10, 60, and 240 min exposure durations. An empirical toxic load model was developed and the toxic load exponent for lethality (n) in the equation Cn× T = k was determined to be n = 0.92. The VX–G regeneration assay was successfully used as a biomarker for the presence of VX in the blood plasma and RBC fractions of the blood 24 h postexposure.

A syringe drive/spray atomization system produced vapor concentrations at a range of 1–50 mg/m3. A saturator cell was used to generate vapor at sub-lethal concentrations ranging from 1 mg/m3 down to low levels approaching the threshold limit value time-weighted average (TLV-TWA) of 0.0001 mg/m3 for GB. Both generation techniques demonstrated the ability to produce stable vapor concentrations over extended exposure periods. This capability was important to determine sublethal nerve agent effects, such as miosis, for inhalation toxicology studies. In addition, the techniques employed for producing and maintaining low-level agent vapor would lay the foundation for testing less volatile chemical warfare agents such as VX.

The protonation and quaternization of the acridine nitrogen led to acridine dyes with extended absorption from 400–800 nm. Computational modeling was used to evaluate a variety of structures to achieve insights for correlating these types of molecular structures with predicted absorption spectra. Pertinent dihedral angles as well as bond lengths were evaluated to assess and compare planarity and conjugation for these dyes. Other predictions include plots of the HOMO and LUMO levels to qualitatively examine electron distributions and the potential for electron injection. The results from modeling along with the experimental data consisting of synthesis, characterization and UV‐visible absorption properties of the selected dyes are presented.†Dedicated to the memory of Professor Sukant K.

Anionic templates such as sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) could not function as a suitable template for the polymerization of acid‐functionalized aniline derivatives. Several types of polyelectrolytes were used as templates to observe the structural effects and doping behavior of polyaniline/template complexes. The synthesis is straightforward and the conditions are mild in that the polymerization of conducting polyanilines may be carried out in buffered solutions as high as pH 6, with a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen peroxide and catalytic amount of enzyme. The conductivity of these enzymatically synthesized self‐doped polymers was relatively high without additional doping due to the self‐doping of the acid moieties. The conductivity did not decrease dramatically at pH 3 as is the usual case of unsubstituted HCl‐doped polyaniline and maintained good conductivity even at pH 6. The measured conductivity at pH 4∼⃒pH 6 is around 10-4 S/cm to 10-6 S/cm.

Depending on the complexity and distribution of projects, the time required to prepare for production consumes a large percentage of the total time required to complete the job. Increasing crews’ productive hours is a key objective when planning multiproject schedules. Existing methods, however, lack the effective means to explicitly model, analyze, and optimize resource utilization for these multiple concurrent projects. As a result, few facility managers fully exploit the potential to better manage their often limited budget and resources. This paper presents an explicit model of the mobilization requirements of multiple crews performing a variety of different activities over a geographic space. The model allows the facility manager to explicitly investigate the impact of crew composition, crew specialization, and depot locations. Using work rule decisions regarding alternative crew allocations, facility managers may dynamically allocate resources to optimize resources and to complete projects in a minimum amount of time. To verify and validate this new model, a computerized system, called FIRS (Facility/Infrastructure Resource Scheduler), was created to analyze the multiproject resource plans with data from two military organizations and a university campus. FIRS utilizes a new genetic algorithm that was developed specifically to work with multiproject scheduling. Using FIRS, facility managers can develop and test alternative crew allocations based on the qualifications of the crews available and the type of operation being performed.

The LWG uses proven lidar technology to directly measure water surface elevation from above the water’s surface. Therefore, unlike bottom-mounted gauges, the surface elevation measurement from the LWG is independent of other hydrodynamic processes. The LWG prototype consists of four rangefinders, where each collects water surface elevation time series at a rate of 10 Hz. During the field test, ground truth data were collected concurrently with the LWG data using a biaxial current and pressure meter mounted directly beneath the LWG. Additional ground truth data were available from the existing FRF wave-gauging infrastructure. This paper describes principles of LWG operation and field experiment setup, LWG environmental and technical constraints, and LWG performance in measuring spectral wave parameters.

The prescriptive model chooses monthly reservoir releases and storage levels that maximize the overall benefit of the system. Solution of the model relies on penalty functions that relate value (either economic or noneconomic) to storage levels, releases, and flows in the system. Penalty functions are developed for the multiple purposes of the system, including water supply, navigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. Patterns observed in the model results can serve as starting points to develop improved operating rules for the existing system, and the model can also help evaluate the potential benefits of structural changes to the system. The primary operational trade-off evaluated herein is between maximizing hydroelectric power generation and meeting navigation requirements with a high degree of reliability. Model results also provide some insights into the capacity expansion decisions faced by the Panama Canal Authority.

SN - 13886150 AB - Supercooling suppression of microencapsulated n-tetradecane was measured using differential scanning calorimetry. Results indicate that the degree of supercooling is positively affected by the amount and type of nucleating agent present in bulk and microencapsulated n-tetradecane which it is used as a phase change material (MPCM). Results also demonstrate that the melting point of the n-tetradecane is fairly independent of nucleating agent concentration (0 – 4%). Conversely, the latent heat of fusion of n-tetradecane decreases considerably with nucleating agent amount and the initiation of crystallization point is inversely proportional to cooling rate.

The pectin/zein complex hydrogels did not swell in physiological environments, but hydrolyzed in the presence of pectinases. An in vitro study showed the capacity of the hydrogels to endure protease attack and residence time variation. The physical and biological properties of the new hydrogels were attributed to molecular entanglement of the two polymers. The pectin networks were stabilized by the bound zein molecules. In turn, the pectin networks shielded the bound zein from protease digestion.

Information associated with each of the 389 PCs is based on subject matter expert opinion, instead of direct derivation from standard medical codes. Currently, no mechanisms exist to tie current or historical medical data to PCs. Our study objective was to determine whether reliable conversion between PC codes and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes is possible. Methods: Data were analyzed for three professional coders assigning all applicable ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to each PC code. Inter-rater reliability was measured by using Cohen's κ statistic and percent agreement. Methods were developed to calculate κ statistics when multiple responses could be selected from many possible categories. Results: Overall, we found moderate support for the possibility of reliable conversion between PCs and ICD-9-CM diagnoses (mean κ = 0.61). Conclusion: Current PCs should be modified into a system that is verifiable with real data.

Soldiers from a brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division were involved in a 5-week training exercise at the National Training Center. Health care visits were systematically recorded by the unit medics. Of 4,101 men and 413 women who participated in the exercise, 504 soldiers (409 men and 95 women} sought medical care at the main support medical clinic or Weed Army Community Hospital. The rates of injury and illness visits were 1.2% and 0.6% per week for men and 2.3% and 2.2% per week for women, respectively. Women had twice the risk of an injury and 3.5 times the risk of an illness, compared with men. Compared with other branches, combat service support soldiers had higher rates of injuries and illnesses. Enlisted soldiers of lower rank (E1-E4) experienced higher injury and illness rates than did noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers. Musculoskeletal injuries, environmental conditions, and dermatological conditions accounted for most visits.

JO - Freshwater Biology JF - Freshwater Biology Y1 - 2006/11// VL - 51 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 2072 EP - 2086 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 00465070 AB - 1. Floods are major disturbances to stream ecosystems that can kill or displace organisms and modify habitats. Many studies have reported changes in fish assemblages after a single flood, but few studies have evaluated the importance of timing and intensity of floods on long-term fish assemblage dynamics. 2. We used a 10-year dataset to evaluate the effects of floods on fishes in Kings Creek, an intermittent prairie stream in north-eastern, Kansas, U.S.A. Samples were collected seasonally at two perennial headwater sites (1995–2005) and one perennial downstream flowing site (1997–2005) allowing us to evaluate the effects of floods at different locations within a watershed. In addition, four surveys during 2003 and 2004 sampled 3–5 km of stream between the long-term study sites to evaluate the use of intermittent reaches of this stream. 3. Because of higher discharge and bed scouring at the downstream site, we predicted that the fish assemblage would have lowered species richness and abundance following floods. In contrast, we expected increased species richness and abundance at headwater sites because floods increase stream connectivity and create the potential for colonisation from downstream reaches. 4. Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) was used to select among candidate regression models that predicted species richness and abundance based on Julian date, time since floods, season and physical habitat at each site. At the downstream site, AIC weightings suggested Julian date was the best predictor of fish assemblage structure, but no model explained >16% of the variation in species richness or community structure. Variation explained by Julian date was primarily attributed to a long-term pattern of declining abundance of common species. At the headwater sites, there was not a single candidate model selected to predict total species abundance and assemblage structure. AIC weightings suggested variation in assemblage structure was associated with either Julian date or local habitat characteristics. 5. Fishes rapidly colonised isolated or dry habitats following floods. This was evidenced by the occurrence of fishes in intermittent reaches and the positive association between maximum daily discharge and colonisation events at both headwater sites. 6. Our study suggests floods allow dispersal into intermittent habitats with little or no downstream displacement of fishes. Movement of fishes among habitats during flooding highlights the importance of maintaining connectivity of stream networks of low to medium order prairie streams.

The presence of particulate explosives and co-contaminants, and the concentration of soil total organic carbon (TOC) on the alkaline hydrolysis reaction were studied. Trinitrobenzene (TNB) and dinitrobenzene (DNB) were sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis under these experimental conditions. The TNT metabolites, 2A- and 4A-DNT, were also removed, although more slowly than the parent compound, and the reaction required a higher pH (>12). RDX retention in the soil was proportional to the TOC content. The degradation intermediates of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction partitioned in the soil matrix in a manner similar to the parent. Solid particles of explosives are also degraded by alkaline hydrolysis. RDX and HMX exhibited 74 and 57% removal, respectively, in 21 days. TNT, as whole and broken grains, showed 83 and 99.9% removal in 21 days, respectively. The propellants, 2,4- and 2,6-DNT, were insensitive to alkaline hydrolysis. Alkaline hydrolysis is an inexpensive and effective means of reducing the varied explosives contamination.

Participants (N = 104) consisted of three grade level groups (first/second, third and fourth). Within each grade level participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental groups received a three-week instructional unit of cup stacking. The control groups received the standard physical education curriculum. All participants completed pretests and posttests on three tasks designed to measure hand-eye coordination. The results indicated significantly faster performance for older children than younger children for all three tasks. None of the tasks were statistically influenced by the cup stacking unit. Overall, the results of this study indicate that participation in a three-week instructional unit does not significantly improve hand-eye coordination in elementary age children.

The current code provisions are building independent and overly conservative, especially for the design of nonstructural components in tall buildings. This conservatism can be reduced by utilizing the information about the fundamental period of the building. New force formulas that depend on the building period are proposed. The proposed formulas are intended to avoid more involved analyses. They are validated by a comprehensive numerical study of several buildings of different periods analyzed for an ensemble of recorded earthquake acceleration time histories.

The methods utilize the dynamic characteristics, expressed in terms of the fundamental periods and damping ratios, of the component and the supporting structure to calculate the force coefficient. The cases with the building period and component period known or unknown are considered. The formulas with less information tend to provide more conservative estimates of the force to cover the worst case situations. The new formulas now include the effect of possible resonance with higher modes. The validity of the proposed formulas is verified by a comprehensive numerical study of several buildings of different fundamental periods.

We examined the nature and variability of rankings of "conditions" based on how they are defined and how their population health impacts are measured. The first listed diagnosis from all hospitalizations and ambulatory visits of U.S. service members during 2002 was used to rank conditions (as defined by two standard classification systems] using five different measures of population health impacts. Less than 10% of all conditions accounted for more than one-half of total population health impact, regardless of how conditions were defined or impacts measured. However, specific conditions with the largest impacts varied depending on the classification system and impact measure. Four groups of related conditions--acute musculoskeletal injuries, pregnancy-related conditions, respiratory infections, and mental disorders (including substance abuse)--accounted for disproportionately large impacts regardless of the measure. The identification of conditions with the largest population health impacts depends on the nature and degree of aggregation in defining conditions and the measure of impact. The findings are relevant to prevention planning and resourcing.

Although respiratory disease control is improved, epidemics continue to occur, and respiratory disease in military trainees continues to exceed that in U.S. civilian adults. Overall, Department of Defense utilization of the trivalent inactivated vaccine was much lower than anticipated during the 2004-2005 season. The slow start to the 2004-2005 influenza season resulted in a low demand for influenza immunization by the medically high-risk beneficiary population of the Department of Defense. Surveillance for influenza during the 2004-2005 season in U.S. Army Europe reached unprecedented heights, testing and confirming more cases than in any previous year.

However, because malaria may be transported out of endemic areas and into areas that are free of malaria, the threat does not end with redeployment. Since the Korean Conflict, outbreaks of imported malaria have followed every major deployment of U.S. military forces to malaria endemic areas. By examining unique aspects of these outbreaks through the years, many similarities can be drawn. Repeated observations demonstrate that preventive efforts are only effective at reducing the impact of imported malaria when commanders are informed about the risks of malaria. Commanders must also understand the preventive resources that are available while deployed, and the potential for morbidity and mortality from malaria.

It shows how to address security early in the project life cycle and its impacts on the capital facility delivery process. Three dimensions of security for capital projects are examined—physical, personnel, and information—and linked to the key concepts of threats, consequences, and vulnerability assessment. A select set of industry best practices provides the basis for integrating security into the project delivery process. This selection includes six best practices: (1) preproject planning; (2) alignment; (3) design effectiveness; (4) constructability; (5) materials management; and (6) planning for start-up. The article outlines the methodology for updating best practices to include security. It includes a brief description of each practice and documents the key updates for incorporating security-related considerations into the practice. Security implications for the project delivery process are provided as well as recommendations to industry.

Appropriate use of such models for management purposes, however, requires understanding inherent biases that may exist in these models. Through a series of simulations, which compared predictions of risk of decline of scalar and matrix-based models, we examined whether discrepancies may arise from different dynamics displayed due to age structure and generation time. We also examined scalar and matrix-based population models of 18 real populations for potential patterns of bias in population viability estimates. In the simulation study, precautionary bias (i.e., overestimating risks of decline) of scalar models increased as a function of generation time. Models of real populations showed poor fit between scalar and matrix-based models, with scalar models predicting significantly higher risks of decline on average. The strength of this bias was not correlated with generation time, suggesting that additional sources of bias may be masking this relationship. Scalar models can be useful for screening-level assessments, which should in general be precautionary, but the potential shortfalls of these models should be considered before using them as a basis for management decisions.

Sin embargo, el uso apropiado de tales modelos con fines de gestión requiere entender los sesgos inherentes que pueden existir en estos modelos. A través de una serie de simulaciones, que comparaban predicciones del riesgo de extinción en modelos escalares y matriciales, examinamos si las discrepancias se pueden originar de las diferentes dinámicas mostradas debido a la estructura de edades y el tiempo generacional. También examinamos modelos escalares y matriciales de 18 poblaciones reales para determinar patrones potenciales de sesgos en las estimaciones de viabilidad poblacional. En el estudio simulado, el sesgo preventivo (i.e., sobreestimación de los riesgos de declinación) de los modelos preventivos incrementó en función del tiempo generacional. El ajuste entre los modelos escalares y matriciales de las poblaciones reales fue pobre, los modelos escalares predijeron significativamente mayor riesgo de extinción en promedio. La robustez de este sesgo no se correlacionó con el tiempo generacional, lo que sugiere que esta relación puede estar enmascarada por fuentes adicionales de sesgo. Los modelos escalares pueden ser útiles para evaluaciones a nivel diagnóstico, que en general deberían ser preventivas, pero las deficiencias potenciales de estos modelos deberían ser consideradas antes de utilizarlos como base para decisiones de manejo.

Here we include real energy prices and fuel shares in models that describe energy use and carbon emissions. We test if these models show a turning point in OECD countries. Results indicate that including energy prices eliminates statistical support for a turning point and suggest that the relationship between income and both energy use and carbon emissions is represented most accurately by diminishing returns. These results imply that economic growth per se will not reduce energy use or emissions that cause global climate change.

SN - 02683768 AB - In this paper, the development of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) for equipment health diagnosis and prognosis is presented. An HSMM is constructed by adding a temporal component into the well-defined hidden Markov model (HMM) structures. The HSMM methodology offers two significant advantages over the HMM methodology in equipment health diagnosis and prognosis: (1) it overcomes the modeling limitation of HMM due to the Markov property and therefore improves the power in diagnosis, and (2) it can be directly used for prognosis. The application of the HSMMs to equipment health diagnosis and prognosis is demonstrated with the fault classification application of UH-60A Blackhawk main transmission planetary carriers and prognosis of a hydraulic pump health monitoring application. The effectiveness of the HSMMs is compared with that of the HMMs. The results of the application testing have shown that the HSMMs are capable of identifying the faults under both test cell and on-aircraft conditions while the performance of the HMMs is not comparable with that of the HSMMs. Furthermore, the HSMM-based methodology can be used to estimate the remaining useful life of equipment.

SN - 10807683 AB - The organophosphorous nerve agent sarin (GB) and the carbamate pyridostigmine bromide (PB) both inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to overstimulation of muscarinic receptors. Both GB and PB produce miosis through stimulation of ocular muscarinic receptors. This study investigated 2 hypotheses: (1) that the miotic response to PB would decrease following repeated injections; and (2) that repeated administration of PB would result in tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor. Rats were injected intramuscularly with saline, 0.04 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, or 1.4 mg/kg of PB twice daily for 8 consecutive days. After day 3, animals injected with 1.4 mg/kg PB developed miotic tolerance. Twenty-four (24) h following the final PB injection, the rats were exposed to GB vapor (4.0 mg/m3). A similar magnitude of miosis was observed in all groups after GB exposure. However, the rate of recovery of pupil size in animals pretreated with 0.5 and 1.4 mg/kg PB was significantly increased. Twenty (20) h following exposure to GB vapor, the pupils of animals pretreated with 1.4 mg/kg PB had recovered to 77% ± 4% of their pre-exposure baseline, whereas the saline-injected controls had recovered to only 52% ± 2% of their pre-exposure baseline. The increased rate of recovery does not appear to be a result of protection of pupillary muscarinic receptors by the higher doses of PB, as there was no longer PB present in the animal at the time of GB exposure. These results demonstrate the development of tolerance to the miotic effect of PB following repeated exposures, and also suggest that cross-tolerance between PB and GB occurs. However, because the magnitude of the response was not reduced, the PB pretreatment and its associated miotic cross-tolerance does not appear to diminish the effectiveness of miosis as a biomarker of acute exposure to nerve agent vapor.

Putin has made reforms that eliminated all institutions and bureaucratic veto groups which made him and his entourage the center of power. The author outlined potential scenarios that could be seen by the elites as quasiconstitunional ways of extending Putin's tenure.

Several possible reasons people live in hazardous areas are presented. However, this article argues that benefits often outweigh the occasional damage costs. Since they do, such areas become developed and hence more economically valuable. If analysis of policies for developing lands on hazardous sites and providing protection against the hazards consider the benefits obtained from such development when the hazards are not occurring, they may well support that development, together with increased hazard protection and mitigation measures.

Two-year carcinogenicity studies revealed RDX to be noncarcinogenic in two strains of rats, but a 2-year carcinogenicity study in B6C3F1 mice revealed an increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in females. Based on results of the study in B6C3F1 mice, RDX has been classified as a possible carcinogen. The authors reevaluated the archived histological sections from the B6C3F1 mouse study, using current histopathologic diagnostic criteria and interpretations. The earlier evaluation showed a statistically significant increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma/carcinoma in female mice from the three highest dose groups (7, 35, and 175/100 mg/kg/day). The revaluation yielded a slightly lower incidence at each of the dose levels in female mice. The reduced number of hepatocellular neoplasms was largely due to reclassification of hepatocellular adenomas as foci of cytoplasmic alteration, in compliance with current diagnostic criteria. The reevaluation was reviewed by a pathology working group (PWG), which arrived at a consensus classification of each lesion. Based on the consensus diagnoses of the PWG, only one female group (35 mg/kg/day) showed a significant increase when compared to controls. The incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms for all groups, including the 35 mg/kg/day group, was within the reported incidence range for spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasms in female B6C3F1 mice. The increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in female mice given RDX at 35 mg/kg/day was interpreted as equivocal evidence of a carcinogenic effect.

Demobilizing soldiers completed an assessment packet that included questions about demographic factors, relationships, stress, and alcohol-related consequences. Significant predictors of greater alcohol-related consequences, as assessed with the CAGE questionnaire, included fewer years of formal education, male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, racial/ethnic minority status, enlisted rank, having been deployed to the continental United States, and greater stress, whereas significant predictors of drinking and driving included male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, and greater stress. Identifying the predictors of alcohol consequences that occur upon demobilization may aid in determining which soldiers are at risk for such consequences before deployment and may help to maintain military readiness.

SN - 07490208 AB - The potential biological effects of elevated suspended sediment concentrations caused by beach nourishment activities are a commonly cited environmental concern; however, the spatial scope and magnitude of increases in total suspended sediment (TSS) levels are infrequently monitored. In this study, suspended sediment conditions were monitored for two nourishment events on the northern coast of New Jersey in 1997 and 1998. Samples were taken in the swash, surf, and nearshore zones near the discharge pipe and at reference areas both north and south of the fill sites. Sampling was also conducted after two major storms passed through the area in September 1999 (the remnants of Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd). For both nourishment events, swash zone suspended sediment concentrations were significantly higher at sites of active discharge and recently nourished stations than at unnourished stations; however, no differences in TSS concentrations were detected between nourished and unnourished stations in the surf zone and nearshore habitats during either nourishment event. Maximum bottom surf zone and nearshore TSS concentrations related to nourishment activities were 64 mg/L and 34 mg/L, respectively, compared with respective maximum bottom concentrations of 81 mg/L and 425 mg/L after storms. Background maximum bottom TSS concentrations in the surf and nearshore zones on unnourished portions of the beach were less than 20 mg/L. Elevated TSS concentrations associated with the active beach nourishment site were limited to within 400 m of the discharge pipe in the swash zone. More direct monitoring of TSS concentrations is needed to better understand the potential biological effects of beach nourishment activities.

Senior non-commissioned officers (NCOs) in the U.S. Army ( N=64) conducted panel interviews with 944 junior NCOs during a concurrent validation project. Analysis of the data revealed considerable variation in interviewer validity coefficients in relation to multiple performance criteria. Results also indicated the importance of adopting a multivariate perspective when evaluating interviewer validity differences in that the amount of variation in validity coefficients differed both by interview dimension and criterion. A similar pattern of findings emerged when analyses were performed on ratings averaged within interview panel. Nonetheless, when meta-analysis was used to estimate the amount of true variance in interviewer- and panel-level validity coefficients, most or all of the variance for some interview-criterion combinations appeared to be due to statistical artifacts.

A review of empirical studies that examined the relationship between religion/spirituality and PTSD showed mixed findings ( n = 11). Though the direction of association varied among studies, all but one study reported significant associations between the two. Factors that might have contributed to the mixed findings are discussed (e.g., measurements, research design). Overall, these results appear to be encouraging toward confirming the conceptual link between religion and trauma. Further research investigating the direction of causation and possible moderators of the association may contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between trauma and religion.

The use of blast-resistant glazing can mitigate the number and severity of glass-related injuries if blasts occur. In this paper, the writers present two methods to facilitate blast-resistant glazing design. One of these methods is primarily restricted to government facilities while the other exists in a consensus document for public use. Both of these methods rely on laminated glass as the blast-resistant glazing material. Both methods address all facets of blast-resistant glazing design, including attachment of the glazing to the framing members and an estimate of the forces necessary for designing framing members and connections.

Little is known about the manner in which frazil forms, how it is drawn down to the depths at which the intakes are located, and how to prevent frazil from fully blocking intakes. This paper presents an overview of frazil formation and intake blockage in the Great Lakes. The paper first reviews the current understanding of the processes of frazil formation and intake blockage, and it adds new insight regarding the processes. It then describes the problem by way of case-study examples of frazil blockage of two intakes in Lake Michigan. Based on the case studies, and experiences with other intakes in the Great Lakes, the paper outlines methods for monitoring and mitigating frazil blockage. Two options are recommended: monitoring rate of water level drop in the pump forebay onshore from the intake, and rate of headloss increase between the intake and the forebay. Laboratory modeling of intake blockage is then presented.

Development of an automatic adaptive procedure will rely on estimating and/or controlling computational error by adapting the mesh parameters with respect to a particular measurement. Since a primary source of error in a discrete approximation of the shallow-water equations is inadequate mesh resolution, an adaptive mesh can be an efficient approach to increase accuracy. This paper introduces a simple indicator for the shallow water equations that measures the error in a norm of mass conservation to determine which elements require refinement or coarsening. The resulting adaptive grid gives results comparable to a much higher resolution (uniformly refined) mesh with less computational expense.

We define notions of locally covariant QEIs of both “absolute” and “difference” types and show that existing QEIs satisfy these conditions. Local covariance permits us to place constraints on the renormalized stress-energy tensor in one spacetime using QEIs derived in another, in subregions where the two spacetimes are isometric. This is of particular utility where one of the two spacetimes exhibits a high degree of symmetry and the QEIs are available in simple closed form. Various general applications are presented, including a priori constraints (depending only on geometric quantities) on the ground-state energy density in a static spacetime containing locally Minkowskian regions. In addition, we present a number of concrete calculations in both two and four dimensions that demonstrate the consistency of our bounds with various known ground- and thermal-state energy densities. Examples considered include the Rindler and Misner spacetimes, and spacetimes with toroidal spatial sections. In this paper we confine the discussion to globally hyperbolic spacetimes; subsequent papers will also discuss spacetimes with boundary and other related issues.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/08// VL - 171 IS - 8 M3 - Abstract SP - 800 EP - 805 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objective: To comply with Army Regulation 600-9, The Army Weight Control Program (AWCP), soldiers must meet age-adjusted body fat standards, regardless of whether they meet or exceed weight-for-height allowances. Recent revisions to Department of Defense (DoD) policies require changes to the AWCP. Specifically, we assessed the effects of increasing weight-for-height allowances and adoption of the DoD body fat equation on compliance with the AWCP in women. Methods: Weight, height, circumferences (neck, forearm, wrist, waist, and hip] to measure body fat, and Army Physical Fitness Test results were obtained from 909 female soldiers (mean (SD) age, 26.2 (6.51 years; body mass index, 24.6 (3.3) kg/m²; body fat, 29.7% (5,0)). Results: Increasing the screening weight-for-height allowances resulted in a 20% reduction in those requiring a body fat measurement (from 55% [n = 498] to 35% [n = 319]). Adopting the DoD body fat equation did not change the proportion of overfat women, i.e., noncompliant with the AWCP, (from 26% [n = 232] to 27% [n = 246]). More women with a waist circumference >35 inches (i.e., at increased disease risk) were identified as noncompliant with the AWCP by the proposed body fat equation (from 76% [n = 61] to 96% [n = 77]). Conclusions: Proposed changes reduce the proportion of women unnecessarily measured for body fat and do not change the proportion of women on the AWCP, yet select more women at increased disease risk and most in need of an effective intervention.

This descriptive study used a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey of Army Nurse Corps officers and Department of the Army civilian registered nurses (N = 5,293). The CRNA subset (n = 97) was obtained from questionnaires that indicated a primary practice setting as anesthesia. The most frequently occurring ethical issue identified was conflict in the nurse-physician relationship. whereas the most disturbing issue was working with incompetent/ impaired colleagues. Unresolved ethical conflicts can negatively influence the nurses' morale, leading to avoidance of the issue and contributing to burnout. Identifying the ethical issues and disturbance level experienced by CRNAs should contribute to the development of an ethics education program that addresses issues encountered in CRNA practice.

Because a single lidar measures radial winds, that is, the dot product of the wind vector with a unit vector pointing along the lidar beam, the data from two lidars viewing from different directions can be combined to produce horizontal velocity vectors. Analysis programs were written to retrieve horizontal velocity vectors for a series of eight vertical profiles to the southwest (approximately upwind) of the downtown urban core. This technique has the following unique characteristics that make it well suited for urban meteorology studies: 1) continuous vertical profiles from far above the building heights to down into the street canyons can be measured and 2) the profiles can extend to very near the ground without a loss of accuracy (assuming clear lines of site). The period of time analyzed spans from 1400 to 1730 UTC (0900–1230 local time) on 9 July 2003. Both shear and convective heating are important during the development of the boundary layer over this period of time. Differences in 10- and 20-min mean profiles show the effect of the variation of position approaching the urban core; for example, several hundred meters above the ground, velocity magnitudes for profiles separated by less than a kilometer may differ by over 1 m s-1. The effect of the increased roughness associated with the central business district can be seen as a deceleration of the velocity and a turning of the wind direction as the flow approaches the core, up to approximately 10° for some profiles. This effect is evident below 400–500 m both in the wind directions and magnitudes. Recommendations are given for how this type of data can be used in a comparison with model data.

Several types of chemicals were tested including polymer emulsions, lignosulfonates, chloride salts, synthetic fluids, an asphalt emulsion, a polysaccharide solution, a polyacrylamide, and a guar gum. Each product was placed in an individual test section at a rate of 3.8 L/m2 using an admix construction method (grade/spray/till/compact/spray). Fourteen test sections were constructed and observed at 30-day intervals to monitor product performance. Data from both stationary and mobile particle collectors were analyzed to determine the ability of each product to suppress dust for extended periods. Several products are recommended for use on roads in arid climates as a result of this evaluation.

Injections of 20.0 or 40.0 μg of p,p'-DDE [ethylene, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)], an antiandrogen, were administered at embryonic day 1. Bursas from only chicks treated with DDE were larger than, had fewer follicles, and exhibited vacuolization within follicles compared with controls; spleens were unaffected. No differences in either immune response test were observed. This study demonstrates that the bursa may play a role in androgen-active endocrine disrupting chemical-induced immunosuppression.

Endemic Bear Lake whitefish (Prosopium abyssicola) and Bonneville whitefish (Prosopium spilonotus) are benthic, morphologically similar, and closely related, yet the extent of differential resource use remains poorly understood. To determine the ecological differences between these two species, we studied their seasonal distribution and diet in Bear Lake, Utah–Idaho. We used bottom-set gill nets to examine how catch of each species of whitefish varied in relation to depth and season (spring and summer). In both spring and summer, Bonneville whitefish dominated the shallower depths (5–30 m), whereas Bear Lake whitefish dominated the deeper depths (45–55 m). Bonneville whitefish ate a variety of benthic invertebrates, but mostly Chironomidae, whereas Bear Lake whitefish fed mostly on Ostracoda. These data describe a closely related morphologically similar, yet ecologically distinct group of whitefish in an ecoregion completely different from those studied before. These results indicated that each species has a very different role in the Bear Lake ecosystem. To conserve this unique fish assemblage, both shallow and deepwater habitats need to be protected.

Les ménominis du lac Bear (Prosopium abyssicola) et les ménominis de Bonneville (Prosopium spilonotus) sont des poissons endémiques, benthiques, morphologiquement semblables et fortement apparentés; on connaît néanmoins mal leur utilisation différentielle des ressources. Afin de déterminer les différences écologiques entre ces deux espèces, nous avons étudié leur répartition saisonnière et leur régime alimentaire au lac Bear, Utah–Idaho. Des filets maillants installés sur le fond ont servi à montrer comment les captures de chacune des deux espèces de ménominis varient en fonction de la profondeur et de la saison (printemps et été). Tant au printemps qu'en été, les ménominis de Bonneville prédominent dans les profondeurs plus faibles (5–30 m), alors que les ménominis du lac Bear sont plus nombreux dans les eaux plus profondes (45–55 m). Les ménominis de Bonneville se nourrissent d'une variété d'invertébrés benthiques, mais surtout de Chironomidae, alors que les ménominis du lac Bear consomment principalement des Ostracoda. Ces données décrivent un groupe de ménominis proches parents à morphologie semblable, mais à écologie distincte, dans une écorégion totalement différente de celles étudiées antérieurement. Nos résultats indiquent que chacune des espèces a un rôle bien distinct dans l'écosystème du lac Bear. Les habitats, tant de faible que de grande profondeur, doivent donc être protégés afin de conserver cette association exceptionnelle de poissons.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The post-impact residual penetrators examined using energy-dispersive x-ray mapping, revealed target and penetrator mechanical mixing. Considerable intercalation activity was found to concentrate specifically within the material being eroded by DRX-assisted flow. The solid-state flow features (including shear bands) facilitate the mixing of the two. Residual microstructures obtained within the penetrator suggest localized melt zones due to thermal instabilities caused by the turbulent behavior in the high-pressure regime. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The cellular core is modeled using a rigid, perfectly-plastic, locking idealization, as in previous studies, and the front and back faces are modeled as rigid, with pressure loading applied to the front face and the back face unrestrained. Predictions of this analytical model show excellent agreement with explicit finite element computations, and the model is used to investigate the influence of the mass distribution between the core and the faces. Increasing the mass fraction in the front face is found to increase the impulse required for complete crushing of the cellular core but also to produce undesirable increases in back-face accelerations. Optimal mass distributions are investigated by maximizing the impulse capacity while limiting the back-face accelerations to a specified level. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The shock compression of the element at pressures of 1.5–3.8 GPa caused almost complete depolarization of the sample. Shock wave velocity in the PZT was determined to be 3.94 ± 0.27 km/s. The electric charge stored in a ferroelectric, due to its remnant polarization, is released during a short time interval and can be transformed into pulsed power. Compact explosive-driven power sources utilizing longitudinal shock wave depolarization of PZT elements of 0.35 to 3.3 cm3 volume are capable of producing pulses of high voltage, with amplitudes up to 22 kV, and up to 350 kW peak power. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We demonstrate that the transverse shock-wave compression of an Nd2Fe14B hard ferromagnet with pressure at the shock wave front of P = 22.3 GPa causes a hard ferromagnet — to — weak magnet phase transition. Due to this phase transition, the magnetostatic energy stored for an indefinite period of time in the Nd2Fe14B ferromagnet is released within a short time interval and can be transformed into pulsed primary power. Based on this effect we have developed a new type of ultracompact (volumes from 9 to 50 cm3) autonomous explosive-driven source of primary power that is capable of powering a magnetic flux compression generator with current up to 4 kA, and of charging high-voltage Arkadiev-Marx type generator capacitor banks. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Crystalline elasto-plasticity models are developed to account for the thermomechanical response of each bulk phase, and a cohesive zone approach is invoked to model the response of grain and phase boundaries. The following physical phenomena are captured by the bulk constitutive models: finite deformations, temperature- and pressure-dependent elasticity, nonlinear thermal expansion, slip-system level viscoplasticity with thermal softening due to increasing dislocation mobility, and dislocation accumulation in conjunction with strain hardening and the stored energy of cold working. The cohesive laws account for stress-state and temperature effects on interfacial strengths and correlate with the spall strength of the multiphase material. Numerical results are obtained from a 2D finite element implementation of the model under impact loading, in which individual phases, grains, and interfaces within a two-phase tungsten alloy are fully resolved. Effects of lattice orientations, grain morphology, and cohesive model parameters are reflected in the spall behavior and statistics associated with predicted free surface velocity profiles. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Attention is restricted to materials for which the fast wave is purely longitudinal. This includes isotropic solids as well as appropriately aligned orthotropic solids. For the case where the slower wave is a shear shock, we obtain approximate relations between this shock speed and the shear sound speeds (i.e., acceleration wave speeds) immediately ahead of and behind the shock. These relations are universally valid for isotropic or orthotropic elastic solids as well as inelastic solids with instantaneous elastic response. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

It has been found that the observed detonation velocity behavior for aluminized explosives can be accurately represented by a reaction zone model in which unreacted aluminum is initially in equilibrium with H-C-N-O compounds. The JAGUAR procedures have been modified to represent the reaction zone behavior and to enable specified temperature differences between the gas and aluminum particles in the initial portion of this reaction zone. The modified procedures enable isentropic expansion for incomplete or complete aluminum reaction in the zone, and result in close agreement with experimental cylinder test data. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

After briefly reviewing the theory, as developed previously, a model is proposed that couples the mean pressure in a porous solid with the growing porosity. New equations for dynamic self consistent void growth are established. Integration of the system establishes the rate dependent constitutive response for volumetric expansion with growing porosity. The computed pressure history indicates probable instability and spatial localization. A common form of this type of localization is known as spall. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The damage model introduces a state variable measure of damage that evolves in proportion to the elastic strain energy. The model degrades the elastic shear modulus in proportion to the state variable’s current level. In a simulation of normal plate-on-plate impact, the model produces a gradient in elastic properties within the initially homogeneous target, and this gradient leads to a partial reflection of the unloading wave. For a range of values for the material constants introduced by the damage model, the target’s free-surface velocity showed a gradual increase over time following the arrival of the initial compressive shock. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The Mathematical Model of Pavement Performance is a model designed for pavement deterioration prediction and was successfully used for seasonal deterioration modeling because of its flexibility in defining the pavement structure, properties, and seasonal impact. However, these types of models are designed for highways and are somewhat limited in soils characterization and manipulation of the forces at the road–tire interface. Therefore, a three-dimensional dynamic finite-element model of a wheel rolling over soil was applied to simulate local vehicle traffic on a secondary unpaved road. These simulations were used to study the effects of vehicle speed, load, suspension system, wheel torque, and wheel slip on rutting and washboard formation. Modeling results are compared to field measurements and observations.

A BBN is developed that integrates sensor data with other validating evidence of contamination scenarios. This network is used to graphically express the causal relationships between events such as operational changes or a true contaminant release and consequent observable evidence in an example distribution system. In the BBN methodology proposed here, multiple computer simulations of contaminant transport are used to estimate the prior probabilities of a positive sensor detection. These simulations are run over multiple combinations of possible source locations and initial mass injections for a conservative solute. This approach provides insight into the effect of uncertainties in source mass and location on the detection probability of the sensors. In addition, the simulations identify the upstream nodes that are more likely to result in positive detections. The BBN incorporates the probabilities that result from these simulations, and the network is updated to reflect three demonstration scenarios—a false positive and two true positive sensor detections.

In this article, we prospectively evaluate whether SCT verbal defensiveness differentiates completion of a selection course for high demand military missions in a new sample of 125 military personnel. We further describe relationships between SCT verbal defensiveness and psychologist ratings of suitability for high demand military positions. Candidates high in SCT verbal defensiveness were less likely to complete a rigorous military selection course for high demand assignments and were twice as likely as those low in verbal defensiveness to leave early in the course. Psychologists rated candidates who were high in verbal defensiveness lower in overall suitability for high demand assignment and lower in motivation, trainability, and personality competence than candidates low in SCT verbal defensiveness. These findings support continued investigation of the SCT in military selection research.

T1 - The Basis for Prescribed Ability Group Run Speeds and Distances in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training. JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/07// VL - 171 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 669 EP - 677 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - During the first few days of Army Basic Combat Training (BCT), recruits take a running test and after completing this test they are ranked from fast to slow. Four roughly equal-sized "ability groups" are established from these rankings and recruits run together in these groups for their physical training during BCT. In the past, there has been no formal guidance regarding how fast or how far these ability groups should run. To fill this void, this study provides guidance for running speeds and distances during BCT. The major considerations included are: (1) minimizing injuries, (2) the initial aerobic fitness level of recruits, (3] historical improvements in run times during BCT, (4) historical running speeds of the slower individuals in each ability group, (5) running speeds that must be achieved to "pass" the 2-mile run in BCT, (6) the gender composition of the ability groups, and (7) recommendations from the trainers and field testing. Three databases were analyzed that contained a total of 16,716 men and 11,600 women. Four steps were used in the analyses: (1) establishment of run-time cut points for representative ability groups, (2) determination of initial (starting) run speeds, (3) estimation of changes in run speeds with training, and (4) establishment of run speeds and distances for each week of BCT. Efforts were made to (1) keep the running speeds between 70% and 83% of the estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) for all ability groups, (2) consider the 2-mile running pace of the slower individuals in each ability group, and (3) keep the total running distance for the two slower ability groups below a total of 25 miles, the apparent threshold for increasing injury incidence. A chart provides speeds and distances for each ability group at each week of BCT. Using these recommended speeds and distances should allow trainees to improve their aerobic fitness, pass the Army Physical Fitness Test, and minimize injuries that result in lost training time and, ultimately, lower fitness levels.

Soldiers with intimate relationships processed for mobilization through Fort Bliss, Texas, completed a questionnaire that queried demographic information, relationship satisfaction, stress, risky alcohol use behaviors, and tactics used during intimate relationship conflict. Four hundred forty-nine deploying soldiers (15.8% of 2,841 with usable data) reported IPV in the past year. Younger age, less education, less relationship satisfaction, more stress, and risky alcohol use behaviors were significant individual predictors of engaging in IPV. The results of this study are discussed in terms of their implications for targeting efforts to reduce IPV among military personnel.

SN - 07490208 AB - A critical review is presented on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal overwash. Overwash and overwash deposits (washover) accompanying hurricanes and severe storms can devastate coastal communities and habitat, but in many areas these processes are essential for maintaining the integrity of barrier islands while creating new habitat. This review covers general studies of overwash processes, studies from a geological perspective, physical modeling, field studies including measurements of washovers and related hydraulics, and the state of numerical modeling capability to predict overwash. Although significant literature exists describing individual overwash events and locations experiencing frequent overwash, complete hydrodynamic and morphologic documentation of an overwash event is lacking. A limited number of algorithms or models exist to quantify overwash occurrence, deposited sand volume, and upper beach profile evolution. Existing models of overwash occurrence and one-dimensional beach profile evolution have been shown to perform successfully against available data, and areas of improvement are identified. Models must be made capable of simulating the various washover morphologies that have been produced by different hydrodynamics, overwash spreading based on dune topography, friction and percolation, and interaction between swash bores. Comprehensive laboratory and field data sets to achieve these aims are still lacking.

The site covered 20 acres, too large to cost-effectively characterize using convention grid sampling techniques. As an alternative, a study was conducted using a hand-held metal detector to locate the bullet impact areas. The metal detector chosen, a Garrett Graphic Target Imaging™ (GTI) 2500, has an LCD screen, which provides the user information on the potential size and depth of the object causing the signal. A two-man team performed the study and bullet detection was confirmed by excavation. The metal detector proved effective at finding .45 caliber bullets. Three impact areas were successfully identified and marked using a global positioning system (GPS). The metal detecting strategy saved substantial sampling time and over $35,000.00 by decreasing the sampling area by 93 percent.

SN - 00068314 AB - Here, we contribute to the continuing development of the quasi-wavelet (QW) model of turbulence that is currently being used in simulations of sound propagation and scattering in the turbulent atmosphere. We show that a QW model of temperature fluctuations exists for any physically reasonable temperature spectrum of isotropic homogeneous turbulence, including the widely used von Kármán spectrum. We derive a simple formula for the QW shape that reproduces a given spectrum exactly in the energy, transition, and inertial subranges. We also show that simple QW shapes can be normalized to yield an analytic expression for a temperature spectrum that is fairly close to any given spectrum. As an example, we match the Gaussian QW model to the von Kármán spectrum as closely as possible, and find remarkably good agreement in all subranges including the dissipation subrange. We also derive formulae for the variance and kurtosis associated with the QW model, and show how the latter depends on the QW packing fraction and size distribution. We also illustrate how the visual appearance of several QW-simulated temperature fluctuation fields depends on the QW packing fraction, size distribution, and kurtosis.

JO - Marine Biology JF - Marine Biology Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 149 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 899 EP - 913 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00253162 AB - Genetic surveys of reef fishes have revealed high population connectivity within ocean basins, consistent with the assumption that pelagic larvae disperse long distances by oceanic currents. However, several recent studies have demonstrated that larval retention and self-recruitment may be higher than previously expected. To assess connectivity in tropical reef fishes, we contribute range-wide mtDNA surveys of two Atlantic squirrelfishes (family Holocentridae). The blackbar soldierfish, Myripristis jacobus, has a pelagic juvenile phase of about 58 days, compared to about 71 days (~22% longer) in the longjaw squirrelfish, Holocentrus ascensionis. If the pelagic duration is guiding dispersal ability, M. jacobus should have greater population genetic structure than H. ascensionis. In comparisons of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences from 69 M. jacobus (744 bp) and 101 H. ascensionis (769 bp), both species exhibited a large number of closely related haplotypes ( h=0.781 and 0.974, π=0.003 and 0.006, respectively), indicating late Pleistocene coalescence of mtDNA lineages. Contrary to the prediction based on pelagic duration, M. jacobus has much less population structure (φST=0.008, P=0.228) than H. ascensionis (φST=0.091, P<0.001). Significant population partitions in H. ascensionis were observed between eastern, central and western Atlantic, and between Brazil and the Caribbean in the western Atlantic. These results, in combination with the findings from 13 codistributed species, indicate that pelagic larval duration is a poor predictor of population genetic structure in Atlantic reef fishes. A key to understanding this disparity may be the evolutionary depth among corresponding taxonomic groups of “reef fishes”, which extends back to the mid-Cretaceous and encompasses enormous diversity in ecology and life history. We should not expect a simple relationship between pelagic larval duration and genetic connectivity, among lineages that diverged 50–100 million years ago.

SN - 10949313 AB - We developed a technique to observe and characterize a novice real-time-strategy (RTS) player's mental model as it shifts with experience. We then tested this technique using an offthe- shelf RTS game, EA Games Generals. Norman defined mental models as, "an internal representation of a target system that provides predictive and explanatory power to the operator." In the case of RTS games, the operator is the player and the target system is expressed by the relationships within the game. We studied five novice participants in laboratorycontrolled conditions playing a RTS game. They played Command and Conquer Generals for 2 h per day over the course of 5 days. A mental model analysis was generated using player dissimilarity-ratings of the game's artificial intelligence (AI) agents analyzed using multidimensional scaling (MDS) statistical methods. We hypothesized that novices would begin with an impoverished model based on the visible physical characteristics of the game system. As they gained experience and insight, their mental models would shift and accommodate the functional characteristics of the AI agents. We found that all five of the novice participants began with the predicted physical-based mental model. However, while their models did qualitatively shift with experience, they did not necessarily change to the predicted functional- based model. This research presents an opportunity for the design of games that are guided by shifts in a player's mental model as opposed to the typical progression through successive performance levels.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/06// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 493 EP - 500 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - Respiratory disturbances play a central role in chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) induced toxicity; they are the starting point of mass casualty and the major cause of death. We developed a microinstillation technique of inhalation exposure to nerve agent VX and assessed lung injury by biochemical analysis of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Here we demonstrate that normal guinea pig BALF has a significant amount of cholinesterase activity. Treatment with Huperzine A, a specific inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), showed that a minor fraction of BALF cholinesterase is AChE. Furthermore, treatment with tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide ( iso -OMPA), a specific inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), inhibited more than 90% of BChE activity, indicating the predominance of BChE in BALF. A predominance of BChE expression in the lung lavage was seen in both genders. Substrate specific inhibition indicated that nearly 30% of the cholinesterase in lung tissue homogenate is AChE. BALF and lung tissue AChE and BChE activities were strongly inhibited in guinea pigs exposed for 5 min to 70.4 and 90.4 µ g/m 3 VX and allowed to recover for 15 min. In contrast, BALF AChE activity was increased 63% and 128% and BChE activity was increased 77% and 88% after 24 h of recovery following 5 min inhalation exposure to 70.4 µ g/m 3 and 90.4 mg/m 3 VX, respectively. The increase in BALF AChE and BChE activity was dose dependent. Since BChE is synthesized in the liver and present in the plasma, an increase in BALF indicates endothelial barrier injury and leakage of plasma into lung interstitium. Therefore, a measure of increased levels of AChE and BChE in the lung lavage can be used to determine the chronology of barrier damage as well as the extent of lung injury following exposure to chemical warfare nerve agents.

Methods: A total of 1,100 cadets were screened for LLIs; 126 of 1,100 were identified to have a LLI of >0.5 cm and were assigned a matched control cadet. Injury rates, numbers of visits to sick call, and numbers of days spent on medical excusal during a 1-year period were then compared for the 252 cadets. Results: There was no difference in prevalence of injury between the groups and no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the groups in injury rates, visits to sick call, or number of days spent on medical excusal. Conclusions: These findings do not support any increased incidence of injuries in a young, healthy, athletic, military population with mild LLIs, compared with matched control subjects without LLIs, over 1 year.

Few studies have been specifically designed to examine the efficacy of oral antibiotic therapy for these infections. We performed an observational study to determine the effect of alternative, orally administered antibiotics on cMRSA soft tissue infections. Consecutive patients between January 2001 and March 2004 who had skin or soft tissue infections from which cMRSA was isolated and who had never received vancomycin were studied through retrospective and concurrent review. Primary outcome measures were improvement or resolution of infection 5 and 14 days after initiation of treatment with orally administered antibiotics and rates of recurrence within 30 days alter completion of treatment. Thirty subjects met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-one subjects received either clindamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, doxycycline/minocycline, or a fluoroquinolone, Five subjects received a β-lactam antibiotic with abscess drainage, and four subjects underwent abscess drainage alone. Improvement was noted for all subjects at 5 days, complete resolution of infection occurred for all subjects by 14 to 17 days, and in no case did relapse occur within 30 days. cMRSA skin and soft tissue infections can be successfully treated with orally administered antibiotics to which the organism has demonstrable in vitro susceptibility.

This social‐political accountability was largely instilled at the Military Academy at West Point as reformed during the 1820s; it helped foster general civilian acceptance of a growing professional monopoly over the direction of national armed force. This process decisively enhanced national military capability, especially in the offensive power projection necessary for territorial expansion and national reunification.

This concept utilizes a high-voltage explosive-driven shock-wave ferromagnetic generator (FMG) as a charging source for capacitive energy storage. It has been experimentally demonstrated that miniature FMGs (22–25 cm3 in size and 84–95 g in mass) developed for these experiments can be successfully used to charge capacitor banks. The FMGs, containing Nd2Fe14B energy-carrying elements, provided pulsed powers of 35–45 kW in times ranging from 10 to 15 μs. A methodology was developed for digital simulation of the operation of the transverse FMG. Experimental results that were obtained are in a good agreement with the results of digital simulations.

In this detection scheme, two tones are broadcast near a buried mine. The acoustic energy couples into the soil and causes both the mine and the surrounding soil to vibrate. Vibration sensors are then used to measure intermodulation frequencies generated in the vicinity of the mine. A comparison of the intermodulation effects above a mine to those at an off target location identifies the position of the buried target. Research indicates that the contrast ratios measured using nonlinear detection exceed those obtained using linear detection. However, the velocities produced at the intermodulation frequencies are significantly less than the velocities measured using linear detection. The objective is to maximize the on/off target contrast ratio obtained in conjunction with nonlinear acoustic mine detection. This goal will be pursued by experimentally examining excitation methods and the resultant surface velocities at nonlinearly generated frequencies. Specifically, the impact of increasing the primary amplitudes on soil surface velocity will be examined. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

[J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 3354–3369 (2004)]. When airborne sound at two primary frequencies f1 and f2 (closely spaced near resonance) undergo acoustic-to-seismic coupling, (A/S), interactions with the mine and soil generate combination frequencies | n f1 ± m f2 | which affect the surface vibration velocity. Profiles at f1, f2, f1 -(f2 - f1) and f2 +(f2 - f1) exhibit single peaks whereas other combination frequencies may involve higher order modes. A family of increasing amplitude tuning curves, involving the surface vibration over the landmine, exhibits a linear relationship between the peak particle velocity and corresponding resonant frequency. Subsequent decreasing amplitude tuning curves exhibit hysteresis effects. New experiments for a buried VS 1.6 anti-tank landmine and a “plastic drum head” mine simulant behave similarly. Slow dynamics explains the amplitude difference in tuning curves for first sweeping upward and then downward through resonance, provided the soil modulus drops after periods of high strain.

Animals were anesthetized using Telazol-meditomidine, gently intubated, and VX was aerosolized using a microcatheter placed 2 cm above the bifurcation of the trachea. Different doses (50.4 µg/m 3 , 70.4 µ g/m m3 , 90.4 µg/m m3 ) of VX were administered at 40 pulses/min for 5 min. Dosing of VX was calculated by the volume of aerosol produced per 200 pulses and diluting the agent accordingly. Although the survival rate of animals exposed to different doses of VX was similar to the controls, nearly a 20% weight reduction was observed in exposed animals. After 24 h of recovery, the animals were euthanized and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed with oxygen free saline. BAL was centrifuged and separated into BAL fluid (BALF) and BAL cells (BALC) and analyzed for indication of lung injury. The edema by dry/wet weight ratio of the accessory lobe increased 11% in VX-treated animals. BAL cell number was increased in VX-treated animals compared to controls, independent of dosage. Trypan blue viability assay indicated an increase in BAL cell death in 70.4 µg/m m3 and 90.4 µg/m m3 VX-exposed animals. Differential cell counting of BALC indicated a decrease in macrophage/monocytes in VX-exposed animals. The total amount of BAL protein increased gradually with the exposed dose of VX and was highest in animals exposed to 90.4 µg/m m3 , indicating that this dose of VX caused lung injury that persisted at 24 h. In addition, histopathology results also suggest that inhalation exposure to VX induces acute lung injury.

Currently, most antimicrobial peptides are extracted from host organisms or produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli is a tool for greater production yields at a decreased cost and reduces the use of hazardous materials. We have constructed a concatamer of indolicidin and successfully expressed a fusion product with thioredoxin in E. coli BL21DE3. Codons for methionine residues flanking individual indolicidin genes were incorporated for cyanogen bromide cleavage of the fusion protein and liberation of active monomeric indolicidin. Peptide yields of 150 μg/l monomeric indolicidin were achieved in this first report of recombinant production of indolicidin with demonstrated antimicrobial activity.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and pegylated G-CSF (peg-G-CSF) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as hematopoietic growth factors to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of G-CSF and peg-G-CSF in ameliorating HD-induced neutropenia. African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) were challenged with HD and, at 1, 3, 5, or 7 days after exposure, G-CSF therapy (10 µg/kg per day for 21 days) was initiated. Peg-G-CSF (300 µg/kg, single treatment) was similarly tested, with treatment given at 3 days after exposure. Untreated HD-exposed animals recovered from neutropenia 28 days after exposure, whereas G-CSF- or peg-G-CSF-treated animals recovered 8 to 19 days after exposure (p < 0,05). These results indicate that G-CSF or peg-G-CSF may provide Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments that will reduce the duration of HD-induced neutropenia.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 171 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 415 EP - 419 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objective: Dental emergencies negatively affect the Army during combat. Dental readiness continues to be a primary mission of the Army Dental Care System and is an important part of mobilization. Dental Fitness Classification (DFC) is used to evaluate the oral health status and current treatment needs of soldiers. Caries and tobacco risk assessments were recently added to the annual examination of Army soldiers. The aim of this project was to determine whether any association existed between the DFC and caries and tobacco risk assessments of Army soldiers. Methods: The study population consisted of 66,484 U.S. Army active duty soldiers. The data were obtained from an Army electronic database that maintains all patient visits. The following information was obtained for each soldier; rank, DFC, caries risk, and tobacco risk assessment. Summary statistics were computed and DFC was compared with caries risk, tobacco risk, and rank using the χ² analysis and logistic regression model. Results: High-caries risk soldiers were 15.6 times more likely to be a DFC 3 or 4 as compared to DFC 1 and 2 soldiers. DFC 3 or 4 soldiers were 1.43 times more likely to be tobacco users than DFC 1 or 2 soldiers. Logistic regression models showed that high-caries risk soldiers were at 13 times the odds of being a DFC 3 or DFC 4 as compared to DFC 1 or DFC 2. Soldiers who used tobacco products were also more likely to be in higher DFC classification compared to those that did not use any tobacco products. Conclusions: This study has shown clear associations between DFC categories and caries and tobacco risk wherein DFC 3 and 4 soldiers are at higher risk for future caries and of being tobacco users. This relationship warrants the inclusion of caries and tobacco risk in the overall dental assessment of soldiers.

JO - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology JF - Journal of Applied Meteorology & Climatology Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 45 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 702 EP - 720 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 15588424 AB - A revised Bayesian algorithm for estimating surface rain rate, convective rain proportion, and latent heating profiles from satellite-borne passive microwave radiometer observations over ocean backgrounds is described. The algorithm searches a large database of cloud-radiative model simulations to find cloud profiles that are radiatively consistent with a given set of microwave radiance measurements. The properties of these radiatively consistent profiles are then composited to obtain best estimates of the observed properties. The revised algorithm is supported by an expanded and more physically consistent database of cloud-radiative model simulations. The algorithm also features a better quantification of the convective and nonconvective contributions to total rainfall, a new geographic database, and an improved representation of background radiances in rain-free regions. Bias and random error estimates are derived from applications of the algorithm to synthetic radiance data, based upon a subset of cloud-resolving model simulations, and from the Bayesian formulation itself. Synthetic rain-rate and latent heating estimates exhibit a trend of high (low) bias for low (high) retrieved values. The Bayesian estimates of random error are propagated to represent errors at coarser time and space resolutions, based upon applications of the algorithm to TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) data. Errors in TMI instantaneous rain-rate estimates at 0.5°-resolution range from approximately 50% at 1 mm h-1 to 20% at 14 mm h-1. Errors in collocated spaceborne radar rain-rate estimates are roughly 50%–80% of the TMI errors at this resolution. The estimated algorithm random error in TMI rain rates at monthly, 2.5° resolution is relatively small (less than 6% at 5 mm day-1) in comparison with the random error resulting from infrequent satellite temporal sampling (8%–35% at the same rain rate). Percentage errors resulting from sampling decrease with increasing rain rate, and sampling errors in latent heating rates follow the same trend. Averaging over 3 months reduces sampling errors in rain rates to 6%–15% at 5 mm day-1, with proportionate reductions in latent heating sampling errors.

During the first determination, the monitor had an RA of 25% compared with ASTM Method D6784-02 (Ontario Hydro Method). However, the Ontario Hydro Method performed poorly, because the mercury concentrations were near the detection limit of the reference method. The mercury in this exhaust stream was primarily elemental. The second test was performed at a U.S. Army boiler against EPA Reference Method 29. Mercury and arsenic were spiked because of expected low mercury concentrations. The monitor had an RA of 16% for arsenic and 17% for mercury, meeting RA requirements of EPA Performance Specification 12a. The results suggest that the sampling stream contained significant percentages of both elemental and oxidized mercury. The monitor was successful at measuring total mercury in particulate and vapor forms.

Previous metrics were based on mapping a class's semantic information onto concepts in an application domain knowledge base. Quality measurements were made by operating on the concepts mapped onto. In this work, we consider more complex inter-concept relationships—semantic disambiguities through semantic connections. The idea is that a level of ambiguity is indicated by the connectivity within the knowledge base between two concepts. A cohesion metric based on this idea is shown to perform as well as traditional metrics, and is available much earlier in the development cycle.

In addition to its size being as small as 4 cm in channel width, the vertical scale distortion up to 20, Froude number exaggeration up to 3.7, and no correspondence of stage in model and prototype, place the micromodel in a category by itself. The writer was assigned to evaluate the micromodel’s capabilities and limitations to ensure proper application. A portion of this evaluation documents the deviation of the micromodel from similarity considerations used in previous movable bed models. The primary basis for this evaluation is the comparison of the micromodel to the prototype. The writer looked for comparisons that had (1) a reasonable calibration of the micromodel and (2) about the same river engineering structures constructed in the prototype that were tested in the micromodel and (3) a prediction by the micromodel of the approximate trends in the prototype. Evaluation of these comparisons shows a lack of predictive capability by the micromodel. Differences in micromodel and prototype likely result from uncertainty in prototype data and the large relaxations in similitude. Based on the lack of predictive evidence, the micromodel should be limited to demonstration, education, and communication for which it has been useful and should be of value to the profession.

This study was conducted during normal hospital operations, and we tested the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations 2004 National Patient Safety Goal, Section 6b to determine whether patient alarms could sufficiently compete against environmental background noises. Patient clinical alarms were audible at distances of ≥95 feet with room doors open but were not sufficiently audible to hospital staff members when room doors were closed or during floor-buffing activities. This study suggests that, under these circumstances, hospitals may not meet Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations 2004 National Patient Safety Goal. Section 6b. Because the audibility of patient clinical alarms directly affects patient safety, satisfaction, and quality of care, we provide recommendations for engineering controls and modifications to work routines.

This process involves conversion of gaseous aluminum in the presence of helium carrier gas to solid aluminum nanoparticles. These activities effectively prepare the aluminum for reaction with oxygen gas to create an alumina coating in the remainder of the process. The basis of the calculations is the General Dynamic Equation for aerosols, which was formulated as an explicit numerical equation. The equation is solved over a user specified surface with particle volume (equivalent to particle diameter) and reactor holding time as the independent variables. The solution produces the number distribution function of the nanoparticles over the solution space. After all of the gaseous aluminum has solidified, a moment equation is employed to calculate the number of particles in each of the size distribution ranges. The mathematical model is useful to study the trends on the dependence of the nanoparticle size distribution on the operating parameters such as pressure and temperature profile in the reactor. A number of case studies are included to demonstrate the utility of the mathematical model.

JO - Journal of Environmental Engineering JF - Journal of Environmental Engineering Y1 - 2006/04// VL - 132 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 505 EP - 514 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339372 AB - Capping is a common remediation technology for the containment/stabilization of contaminated sediments. During capping activities, clean material is commonly released from a barge at the water surface and falls through the water column to the sediment surface, providing an uncontaminated surface sediment layer. Little information exists on the potential release of in situ contaminated sediments during and after capping operations. This paper focuses on the measured release of contaminants during capping events at Boston Harbor, Mass. (confined aquatic disposal cells for contaminated sediment) and Eagle Harbor, Wash. (creosote-contaminated sediment from a wood treating facility). The water column was sampled during capping events to evaluate whether cap placement resulted in the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)- or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-contaminated sediments at Boston Harbor, or PAH-contaminated sediments at Eagle Harbor. Though results at both sites indicated some contaminant resuspension during capping operations, in general contaminant resuspension was relatively low for all capping events. PCB and PAH concentrations for most samples were in the low ng/L range. The most significant releases occurred when previously uncapped sediments were initially capped, and the magnitude of contaminant resuspension decreased with successive capping layers. These results may have important implications regarding sediment cap installation techniques and their potential impacts on water quality. Resuspension during capping may be minimized by placing cap material in lifts, where the first lift provides a uniform layer of clean material using techniques that minimize sediment disturbance and subsequent lifts are placed more aggressively once contaminated sediment is covered.

The power supply contained an explosive-driven high-voltage primary power source and a power-conditioning stage. The ultracompact explosive-driven primary power source was based on the physical effect of shock-wave depolarization of high-energy Pb(Zr52Ti48)O3 ferroelectric material. The volume of the energy-carrying ferroelectric elements in the shock-wave ferroelectric generators (SWFEGs) varied from 1.2 to 2.6 cm3. The power-conditioning stage was based on the spiral vector inversion generator (VIG). The SWFEG-VIG system demonstrated successful operation and good performance. The amplitude of the output voltage pulse of the SWFEG-VIG system exceeded 90 kV, with a rise time of 5.2 ns.

This insecticide is primarily lost through subsurface and surface drainage from terrestrial areas where it has been applied. Invasive aquatic plants often need to be managed in these receiving water bodies to prevent loss of recreational and functional values (e.g., drainage), especially in subtropical and tropical areas. One insect of particular interest is the chironomid midgeCricotopus lebetisSublette, which may be a useful augmentative biocontrol agent for the invasive aquatic weedHydrilla verticillataL.f. Royale. Exposure of aquatic organisms, especially insects, to fipronil may significantly impact nontarget populations. These studies investigated the sensitivity ofC. lebetisto fipronil exposures ranging from 24 to 96 h. The LC50observed for each exposure interval was 7.26 μg/L (24 h), 2.61 μg/L (48 h), 1.78 μg/L (72 h), and 1.06 μg/L (96 h). The LC90values observed were 47.18 μg/L (24 h), 9.55 μg/L (48 h), 6.45 μg/L (72 h), and 4.81 μg/L (96 h). Behavioral changes were seen at all fipronil concentration levels, where larvae exited the plant and exhibited abnormal behavior, such as restricted movement and lack of feeding. Results indicate that acute lethality occurred at environmentally relevant concentrations of fipronil.

However, a key challenge in this application of synthetic materials is mimicking the rate-dependent mechanical response of complex biological tissues. Here, we characterize the mechanical behavior of tissue simulant gel candidates comprising a chemically crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) network loaded with a non-reactive PDMS solvent, and compare this response with that of tissue from murine heart and liver under comparable loading conditions. We first survey the rheological properties of a library of tissue simulant candidates to investigate the effects of solvent loading percentage, reactive functional group stoichiometry, and solvent molecular weight. We then quantify the impact resistance, energy dissipation capacities, and energy dissipation rates via impact indentation for the tissue simulant candidates, as well as for the murine heart and liver. We demonstrate that by tuning these variables the silicone gels can be engineered to match the impact response of biological tissues. These experiments inform the design principles required for synthetic polymer gels that are optimized to predict the response of specific biological tissues to impact loading, providing insight for further tuning of this gel system to match the impact response of other "soft tissues" [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Biomechanics is the property of Elsevier Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

These must also be environmentally sustainable and convenient to implement. Glucose has been proposed as a renewable energy source for several reasons including its energy density, safety, sustainability, and the ability to be scavenged from native ecosystems or from waste streams. Here we describe the use of a bio-hybrid fuel cell to oxidize the glucose to ethanol and limit parasitic power losses by using the fermented alcohol with minimal preparation in a direct alcohol fuel cell. Moving from using dilute alcohol in deionized water to the complex matrices of fermented media raises many questions about the performance and lifetime of the fuel cell and its components. These questions include but are not limited to the effects of starting materials and byproducts of the fermentations and the performance of the catalytic oxidation of ethanol at metal catalysts in batch mode. This study examines the effects of multiple components such as ionic strength, cation size, buffering strength, alcohol concentration, fermentation/fuel cell byproducts, and interfering organics on fuel cell operation.

The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of the location of a BC microphone on the intensity and frequency spectrum of the recorded speech. Twelve locations, 11 on the talker's head and 1 on the collar bone, were investigated. The speech sounds were three vowels (/u/, /a/, /i/) and two consonants (/m/, /∫/). The sounds were produced by 12 talkers. Each sound was recorded simultaneously with two BC microphones and an AC microphone. Analyzed spectral data showed that the BC recordings made at the forehead of the talker were the most similar to the AC recordings, whereas the collar bone recordings were most different. Comparison of the spectral data with speech intelligibility data collected in another study revealed a strong negative relationship between BC speech intelligibility and the degree of deviation of the BC speech spectrum from the AC spectrum. In addition, the head locations that resulted in the highest speech intelligibility were associated with the lowest output signals among all tested locations. Implications of these findings for BC communication are discussed.

[1]). A spiral spring suspension is used which is compliant in all directions. The inertial switch approach offers zero power draw until an acceleration event occurs. Arrays of individual triaxial sensors are created on a single chip, with each switch designed to close at a different acceleration threshold between 50g and 250g. A resistor ladder connects each switch together in series such that the number of pinouts from the chip is substantially reduced. The response of the switch array to half-sine acceleration pulses of 5–8ms duration is reported, with multiple switches in the array closing and opening in sequence for higher magnitude acceleration pulses. The switch closure time under these conditions is consistently less than 200μs, and bounce is minimal for applied accelerations lower than 200g.

Conjectures on Repairing Unit Cohesion in the Wake of Relational Misconduct. JO - Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution JF - Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 28 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 419 EP - 490 SN - 10464344 AB - The use of a neutral party to intercede between two or more disputing parties with the goal of facilitating a mutually-acceptable resolution, settlement, or agreement--i.e., mediation--has never been critically evaluated as a possible procedure within the field of military criminal justice. This article explores whether mediation may march alongside orthodox criminal procedure--as it does in civilian jurisdictions--without undervaluing traditional philosophies that guide military justice, and without undermining traditional sources of prosecutorial authority: military commanders. Current military doctrine (both operational and legal) supports non-traditional problem-solving systems, of which mediation should be considered a part. Relation-based misconduct provides the most appropriate candidate of crime particularly ripe for mediation within military units, especially when framed against a genuine and historically-justifiable command interest in preserving or repairing "unit cohesion." While pragmatic and legal counter-arguments against mediation are reasonably sound, there is nothing intrinsic to the military scheme of justice that makes them any more persuasive. Rather, when translated into a military culture, these criticisms and concerns reflect the same underlying tensions between traditional prosecutorial authority, efficiency, victim rights, and preventive law. Ultimately, whether in the form of a system that directly employs mediation parallel to orthodox justice, or in the form of a new skill set for military leaders employed indirectly as part of their routine leadership functions, mediation need not be considered alien nor an anathema to current military justice as exercised by military commanders.

This study, conducted at Fort Riley, Kansas on a clay loam soil, evaluated the multipass terrain impacts of four military vehicles: the M1A1 Main Battle Tank, M998 HMMWV, M985 HEMTT, and M113 APC. Disturbed width and impact severity were assessed along 14 spirals subjected to a maximum of eight passes for a total of 696 impact points. Project goals included evaluating vegetation impacts by tracked and wheeled military vehicles across multiple passes in order to develop coefficients allowing more accurate predictive modeling of vehicle multipass impacts. Multiple passes produce increased vegetative impacts, with multipass coefficients (MPC) ranging from 0.98 to 4.44 depending on vehicle type, size and turn severity. Tracked vehicles were found to have a higher multipass coefficient than wheeled vehicles, with multipass coefficients increasing with vehicle weight and the sharpness of turns. The components of a more theoretical and universal multipass vehicle impact model are discussed. Understanding multipass dynamics will allow land managers to determine the extent and severity of terrain impacts on military training areas and quickly evaluate vehicle environmental impacts when used in conjunction with a GPS-based vehicle tracking system (VTS).

JO - Marine Geology JF - Marine Geology Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 340 M3 - Article SP - 71 EP - 81 SN - 00253227 AB - Abstract: The Bruun Rule (Bruun, 1954, 1962) provides a relationship between sea level rise and shoreline retreat, and has been widely applied by the engineering and scientific communities to interpret shoreline changes and to plan for possible future increases in sea level rise rates. The Bruun Rule assumes that all sand removed from the upper profile is deposited offshore as sea level rises, although overwash during storms and landward Aeolian transport clearly indicate otherwise. Herein, we examine processes associated with sandy beach evolution in response to relative sea level rise and propose a modified form of the Bruun Rule that considers the full range of parsing cross-shore transport, from completely seaward to completely landward depending on the prevailing storm and surge conditions and whether there is a surplus or deficit of sand in the profile with respect to the equilibrium beach profile. A methodology is proposed that more appropriately represents the long-term processes and beach response. However, an improved quantitative understanding of landward transport is required for optimal application of the proposed method.

Practitioners and advocates claim that the approach will lead to better water management, balancing interests more effectively and reducing the likelihood of costly legal delays. These claims are easy to make, but the benefits will only be realized if the process is conducted effectively. To provide guidance for how to conduct an effective collaborative modeling process, a task committee cosponsored by the Environmental Water Resources Institute ( EWRI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Institute for Water Resources developed a set of Principles and Best Practices for anyone who might convene or conduct collaborative modeling processes. The guidance is intended for both conflict resolution professionals and modelers, and our goal is to integrate these two fields in a way that will improve water resources planning and decision making. Here, the set of eight principles is presented along with a selection of associated best practices, illustrated by two different case examples.

Recognition that models play a significant role in the formulation and implementation of design and management strategies has encouraged the profession to consider how such models can be best implemented. Shared Vision Planning ( SVP) is a disciplined planning approach that combines traditional water resources planning methodologies with innovations such as structured public participation and the use of collaborative modeling, resulting in a more complete understanding and an integrative decision support tool. This study reviews these three basic components of SVP and explains how they are incorporated into a unified planning approach. The successful application of SVP is explored in three studies involving planning challenges: the National Drought Study, the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Study, and the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint/Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin Study. The article concludes by summarizing the advantages and limitations of this planning approach.

JO - Bamboo Science & Culture JF - Bamboo Science & Culture Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 26 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 15357635 AB - Monotypic stands of cane (Arundinaria Michx.) known as canebrakes were a dominant landscape feature in the southeastern United States at the time of European settlement. Canebrakes disappeared rapidly as a consequence of altered fire regimes, agricultural clearance, and overgrazing by livestock, and are now regarded as critically endangered ecosystems. Canebrake fauna remains incompletely known and recent biodiversity studies of this ecosystem are few. In an earlier paper we used historic and contemporary sources to reconstruct the faunal diversity of canebrakes. However, because information is fragmentary and often found in obscure historical sources, inadvertent omissions were unavoidable in our earlier report. We here revisit this topic, provide additional records of canebrake fauna, and discuss the importance of canebrakes to wildlife. We documented the occurrence of an additional 28 species of vertebrates in canebrake habitats, including one reptile, 20 birds, and seven mammals. Canebrake herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) remains poorly documented. Birds use canebrakes as nesting, foraging, and winter roosting habitat, probably consume cane seeds when available, and incorporate cane foliage in nests. Much of what is known about the mammalian fauna of canebrakes is heavily biased towards megafauna, although a small number of studies suggest rodent and insectivore diversity is comparable to other early and mid-successional habitats in the southeast. Canebrakes provide mammals with escape cover, maternal den sites, foraging habitat, and food in the form of foliage and seeds. We reiterate our earlier recommendation for region-wide faunal inventories of existing canebrakes to address deficiencies in our knowledge as highlighted in this paper. Baseline data generated by these studies, combined with information gleaned from the literature, will provide a means to rigorously evaluate future conservation and restoration efforts.

Nixon's administration. It argues that dysfunctional civil-military relations between 1969 and 1972 undermined the implementation of a sound military strategy during the United States' withdrawal from South Vietnam as Nixon attempted to achieve ‘peace with honor’ during the Vietnam War's final campaigns. By 1972, the relationship between the White House and MACV headquarters had reached the nadir of civil-military relations during the Southeast Asian conflict and had served to undercut the United States' ability to effectively disengage from a long and bitterly contested war.

To effectively model saltwater intrusion, the impacts of increased salt content on fluid density must be accounted for to properly model saltwater/freshwater transition zones and sharp interfaces. We present a model for variable density fluid flow and solute transport where a conforming finite element method discretization with a locally conservative velocity post-processing method is used for the flow model and the transport equation is discretized using a variational multiscale stabilized conforming finite element method. This formulation provides a consistent velocity and performs well even in advection-dominated problems that can occur in saltwater intrusion modeling. The physical model is presented as well as the formulation of the numerical model and solution methods. The model is tested against several 2-D and 3-D numerical and experimental benchmark problems, and the results are presented to verify the code.

The experiments attempt to capture students' interest in two ways: (1) by posing interesting challenges to students, thereby provoking more active thought in class and (2) by doing something different, thereby increasing attention that naturally follows from change. Although the experiments are psychology experiments, they may still be used to emphasize certain philosophical points or to introduce philosophical topics. The philosophical import of each experiment is quite general, so these exercises are most appropriate for students enrolled in introductory courses.

However, the commercialization of Li/S battery still cannot be realized due to many problematic issues, including short cycle life, low cycling efficiency, poor safety and a high self-discharge rate. All these issues are related to the dissolution of lithium polysulfide (PS), the series of sulfur reduction intermediates, in liquid electrolyte and to resulting parasitic reactions with the lithium anode and electrolyte components. On the other hand, the dissolution of PS is essential for the performance of a Li/S cell. Without dissolution of PS, the Li/S cell cannot operate progressively due to the non-conductive nature of elemental sulfur and its reduction products. In this review article, we start with the fundamental chemistry of elemental sulfur in order to discuss the problems and solutions of liquid electrolyte Li/S battery.

In this investigation, a systematic procedure is developed to evaluate the size and shape of the amorphized zone as well as the spatial distribution of the amorphization intensity beneath a Vickers indentation. This is accomplished by successive metallographic polishing and material removal from the indented surface at submicron depth increments and then scanning of each surface using micro-Raman spectrometry to construct a three-dimensional map of the amorphized zone. The amorphized zone in B4C extends to a depth of almost seven times the indentation depth. The self-similarity in stress fields at various depths is also confirmed from quantitative description of the Raman peaks for various loads. Damage evolution in the form of a Mescall zone and initiation of radial cracking from the amorphized zone were also observed. It is inferred that the amorphization process initiates as soon as the indenter tip makes contact with the B4C surface and thereafter the indenter penetrates into the weakened amorphized material. The implications of this observation and the utility of the quantitative information on the size and shape of the measured amorphized zone for calibration of multiscale models on structural changes in B4C are discussed.

The processing of the data was conducted blind, i.e., without any prior knowledge of the targets. The problem is solved by formulating the scattering problem as a coefficient inverse problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation. The main new feature of this algorithm is its rigorously established global convergence property. Calculated values of dielectric constants are in a good agreement with material properties, which were revealed a posteriori.

JO - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy JF - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy Y1 - 2013/05/10/ VL - 38 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 5911 EP - 5917 SN - 03603199 AB - Abstract: Flame control, particularly at very lean conditions, is a critical requirement for external combustion power sources such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators. The availability of in-situ produced hydrogen from JP-8 fuel reforming presents a potential supply of hydrogen at the application site, such as the battlefield, without adding a second fuel to the logistics system. This research investigates the use of small amounts of hydrogen co-fired with JP-8 for improved energy efficiency, operational flexibility and environmental protection. Numerical simulations were conducted in a 6 kW (thermal) swirling flow combustor under different conditions. The simulations use hydrogen and a single hydrocarbon surrogate for JP-8 with a 4-step reaction mechanism. It also examined the effect of using hydrogen-rich reformate containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other gases dual-fired with JP-8. Results showed that at lean conditions, dual firing of hydrogen or reformate with JP-8 provided improved fuel conversion, better flame stability and higher fuel burnout. Dual firing hydrogen-rich reformate and JP-8 led to increased burner capacity, reduced system size and weight requirements. However, dual firing with hydrogen provided little benefit to JP-8 combustion under stoichiometric or fuel rich conditions because they were limited by mixing rather than chemical kinetics. These results indicate that dual firing of hydrogen with JP-8 is a promising method for improving lean flame stability and burner control. This has the potential to enable small scale power applications with specific temperature requirements such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators.

However, it is not clear how ROS are regulated at subcellular FA sites to impact cell migration. We have developed a biosensor capable of monitoring ROS production at FA sites in live cells with high sensitivity and specificity, utilizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The results revealed that platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) can induce ROS production at FA sites, which is mediated by Rac1 activation. In contrast, integrins, specifically integrin αvβ3, inhibits this local ROS production. The RhoA activity can mediate this inhibitory role of integrins in regulating ROS production. Therefore, PDGF and integrin αvβ3 coordinate to have an antagonistic effect in the ROS production at FA sites to regulate cell adhesion and migration.

To better understand these effects, a field experiment was conducted to measure low-frequency acoustic pulses propagating in an open field, a forest, and passing through a forest edge in both directions. Waveforms measured in the open field were simple impulses with very low scattering, whereas waveforms at the edge and within the forest had stronger reverberations after the direct arrival. The direct wave pulse shapes increased in duration in accordance with the path length in the forest, which had an effective flow resistivity 12 to 13 that of the grassy open field. The measurements exhibit different rates of attenuation in the two regions, with relatively lower attenuation in the open field than higher rates in the forest. Decay of SEL transmitted into the forest was 4 dB more per tenfold distance than for outbound transmission. Stronger attenuation in the 1-2 kHz range occurs when propagating into the forest. While the measured meteorological profiles revealed three distinct microclimates, meteorological effects are not sufficient to explain the apparent non-reciprocal propagation.

Using complaints in this manner may also imply that the absence of complaints is an indicator of low community annoyance. The relationship between individual complaints and general community annoyance, however, is currently not established, and it is unknown whether implementing restrictions in reaction to individual complaints is an appropriate or necessary way to reduce community annoyance. This paper looks at whether there are significant differences in reported annoyance to complaint-referenced blast events and general military noise annoyance between those who complain and their non-complaining neighbors. Those who complained were significantly more annoyed to both complaint-referenced blast events and general military noise in comparison to their non-complaining neighbors. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of range management.

In solution, the PS undergo a series of complicated disproportionations, as described by a general equation of Li2S n → m/8S8 +Li2S n−m , to form the less soluble sulfur and low-order PS, which become inactive once precipitated out of the liquid electrolyte or deposited into the pores of separator. Based on the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) theory, quaternary ammonium cations are expected to stabilize the PS anions through a chemical interaction between the soft acid and soft base. In this paper, we report a significant improvement in the capacity retention of a Li/S cell by introducing a tetrabutylammonium triflate (NBu4SO3CF3) or an N-methyl-N-butylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PYR14TFSI) into the liquid electrolyte. For example, by using an electrolyte of 0.25molkg−1 LiNO3–0.25molkg−1 PYR14TFSI dissolved in a 1:1 (wt.) mixture of dimethyl ether (DME) and 1,3-dioxolane (DOL), a Li/S cell with a cathode containing 77% sulfur and a 2mgcm−2 sulfur loading exhibited an initial capacity of 1227mAhg−1 and retained a capacity of 875mAhg−1 after 40 cycles when cycled at 0.2mAcm−2 between 1.7V and 2.8V. We contribute the improved performance to the stabilized PS anions by the added quaternary ammonium cations.

African Americans are more likely to report strong religious affiliations and to use religion over prescribed medications for mental health problems. However, few studies have explored how African Americans use religious practices in response to stressful life events. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine how African American women and men find comfort in using scripture passages from The Bible. Methods: Fifty-four African American adults residing in the Southeastern United States participated in a qualitative descriptive study using open-ended semistructured interviews. Participants were asked to describe their use of scripture passages from The Bible and the personal meanings associated with these scriptures in the context of a family death or life-threatening illness. Results: These participants used scripture passages categorized as God as Protector, God as Beneficent, Praise and Thanksgiving, God as Healer, Memory of Forefathers, Prayers to God, and Life after Death. Few gender differences were noted. However, women were more likely to use scripture passages of Godas Protector and Life after Death, whereas men were more likely to use God as Beneficent and God as Healer. Discussion: The religious practice of reading scripture passages from The Bible is a mental health-promoting strategy used during stressful life events. The findings of this study have practical uses for nurses and can be used to inform acceptable and sensitive approaches in addressing mental health issues and spiritual care needs in African American patients.

JO - Journal of Heat Transfer JF - Journal of Heat Transfer Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 135 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 00221481 AB - In this paper, a phase change material (PCM) fluid (N-eicosane) is compared with pure water as heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer behavior of PCM fluid under laminar flow conditions (Reynolds number of 700) in circular and rectangular microchannels was studied numerically. In the numerical study, an effective specific heat model was used to take into account the phase change process. Heat transfer results for circular and rectan-gular microchannels with PCM fluid were obtained under hydrodynamically and ther-mally fully developed conditions. A PCM fluid in microchannels with aspect ratios of 1 to 2,1 to 4, and 1 to 8 was found to enhance the thermal behavior of microchannels which can be beneficial in a host of cooling applications. The flow was assumed to be hydrody-namically fully developed at the inlet and thermally developing inside the microchannel. Heat transfer characteristics of PCM slurry flow in microchannels have been studied under three types of wall boundary conditions including constant axial heat flux with con-stant peripheral temperature (HI), constant heat flux with variable peripheral tempera-ture (H2), and constant wall temperature (T) boundary condition. The fully developed Nusselt number was found to be higher for HI than for H2 and T boundary conditions for all the geometries. Moreover, Nusselt number also increased with aspect ratio and was sensitive to the variations in effective specific heat.

Performance feedback is known to contribute to this learning; however, the most effective ways to provide feedback in VEs have not been established. The present study examined the effects of differing feedback content, focusing on adaptive feedback. Participants learned search procedures during multiple missions in a VE. A control group received only a performance score after each mission. Two groups additionally received either detailed or general feedback after each mission, while two other groups received feedback that adapted based on their performance (either detailed-to-general, or general-to-detailed). Groups that received detailed feedback from the start of training had faster performance improvement than all other groups; however, all feedback groups showed improved performance and by the fourth mission performed at levels above the control group. Results suggest that detailed feedback early in the training cycle is the most beneficial for the fastest learning of new task skills in VEs.

JO - Journal of Biological Engineering JF - Journal of Biological Engineering Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 7 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 17541611 AB - Background: Bacterial contamination on touch surfaces results in increased risk of infection. In the last few decades, work has been done on the antimicrobial properties of copper and its alloys against a range of micro-organisms threatening public health in food processing, healthcare and air conditioning applications; however, an optimum copper method of surface deposition and mass structure has not been identified. Results: A proof-of-concept study of the disinfection effectiveness of three copper surfaces was performed. The surfaces were produced by the deposition of copper using three methods of thermal spray, namely, plasma spray, wire arc spray and cold spray The surfaces were then inoculated with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). After a two hour exposure to the surfaces, the surviving MRSA were assayed and the results compared. The differences in the copper depositions produced by the three thermal spray methods were examined in order to explain the mechanism that causes the observed differences in MRSA killing efficiencies. The cold spray deposition method was significantly more effective than the other methods. It was determined that work hardening caused by the high velocity particle impacts created by the cold spray technique results in a copper microstructure that enhances ionic diffusion, and copper ions are principally responsible for antimicrobial activity. Conclusions: This test showed significant microbiologic differences between coatings produced by different spray techniques and demonstrates the importance of the copper application technique. The cold spray technique shows superior anti-microbial effectiveness caused by the high impact velocity imparted to the sprayed particles which results in high dislocation density and high ionic diffusivity.

JO - Journal of Nanoparticle Research JF - Journal of Nanoparticle Research Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 15 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 13880764 AB - This study investigated the effect of UV irradiation on the characteristics and toxicity of 50 nm (nominal diameter) polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the presence and absence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The photolysis resulted in a decrease in average particle size as measured by field flow fractionation interfaced with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The decrease in size was attributed to the photo-induced oxidation of the PVP and dissolution of metallic silver. Moreover, photolysis of the AgNPs in solutions containing DOC appeared to give rise to small nanoparticles (~5 nm) formed via reduction of dissolved silver ions. These results were consistent with photolysis of AgNO solutions initially devoid of nanoparticles. Thus, the carbon-containing constituents of DOC serve as reducing agents for Ag, primarily under conditions of UV irradiation. The standard zooplankton model, Daphnia magna, indicated that the toxicity of nanosilver was significantly reduced when the AgNPs have been exposed to UV light. Observed toxicity was further reduced when AgNPs in DOC-containing solutions were exposed to UV. These results suggest that environmentally relevant conditions such as DOC and UV light are important mitigating factors that mediate the aquatic toxicity of AgNPs.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2013/05//May2013 Part 1 VL - 51 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2675 EP - 2688 SN - 01962892 AB - Improvements in buried mine detection using remote sensing technology rest on understanding the effects on sensor response of spatial and temporal variability created by soil and environmental conditions. However, research efforts on mine detection have generally emphasized sensor development, while less effort has been made to evaluate the effects of the environmental conditions in which the mines are placed. If the processes governing moisture and temperature distribution near the ground surface can be captured, sensor development and deployment can be more realistically tailored to particular operational scenarios and technologies. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the soil environment on landmine detection by studying the influence of the thermal boundary conditions at the land-atmosphere interface and the buried objects themselves on the spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture around shallow-buried objects. Two separate large tank experiments were performed with buried objects with different thermal properties. Experimental results were compared to results from a fully coupled heat and mass transfer numerical model. Comparison of experimental and numerical results suggests that the vapor enhancement factor used to adjust the vapor diffusive flux described based on Fick's law is not necessary under dry soil conditions. Data and simulations from this study show that the thermal signature of a buried object depends on the complex interaction among a soil's water content and its thermal and hydraulic properties. Simulated thermal and saturation contrasts were generally very different for a buried landmine than for other buried objects.

T1 - Development of Fieldable Lab-on-a-Chip Systems for Detection of a Broad Array of Targets From Toxicants to Biowarfare Agents. JO - Journal of Nanotechnology in Engineering & Medicine JF - Journal of Nanotechnology in Engineering & Medicine Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 4 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 020904-1 EP - 020904-8 SN - 19492944 AB - In today's world, there is an ever growing need for lightweight, portable sensor systems to detect chemical toxicants and biological toxins. The challenges encountered with such detection systems are numerous, as there are a myriad of potential targets in various sample matrices that are often present at trace-level concentrations. At ERDC-CERL, the Lab-on-a-Chip (LoaC) group is working with a number of academic and small business collaborators to develop solutions to meet these challenges. This report will focus on recent advances in three distinct areas: (1) the development of a flexible platform to allow fieldable LoaC analyses of water samples, (2) cell-, organelle-, and synthetic biology-based toxicity sensors, and (3) nanofluidiclmicrofluidic interface (NMI) sample enrichment devices. To transition LoaC-based sensors from the laboratory bench to the field, a portable hardware system capable of operating a wide variety of microfluidic chip-based assays has been developed. As a demonstration of the versatility of this approach assays for the separation and quantitation of anionic contaminants (i.e., per-chlorate), quantitation of heavy metals (Pb and Cd), and cell-based toxicity sensors have been developed and demonstrated. Sensors harboring living cells provide a rapid means of assessing water toxicity. Cell-based sensors exploit the sensitivity of a living cell to discrete changes in its environment to report the presence of toxicants. However, this sensitivity of cells to environmental changes also hinders their usability in nonlaboratory settings. Therefore, isolating intact organelles (i.e., mitochondria) offers a nonliving alternative that preserves the sensitivity of the living cells and allows the electrochemical reporting of the presence of a contaminant. Pursuing a synthetic biology approach has also allowed the development of nonliving reporting mechanisms that utilize engineered biological pathways for novel sensing and remediation applications. To help overcome the challenges associated with the detection of target species at trace-level concentrations, NMIs are being developed for the enrichment of charged species in solution. NMI concentrators can be classified as either electroosmotic flow or electrophoresis-dominant devices. Further advances in electrophoresis-dominant concentrators will aid in the analysis of samples that contain proteins and other substances prone to surface adsorption. These recent advances illustrate how LoaC systems provide a suitable platform for development of fieldable sensors to detect a broad range of chemical/biological pollutants and threats.

Objective: This study sought to determine if medical skills beyond the standard training for Army flight medics were indicated and being performed on Army AMT missions. As a secondary measure, the percentage of indicated interventions performed by basic Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B) and paramedic (EMT-P) flight medics were compared. Methods: This was a retrospective review of Army AMT charts including patients transported by an EMT-B-staffed unit in Iraq and an EMT-P-staffed unit in Afghanistan from July 2008 to June 2009. Charts were reviewed independently by two Emergency Medicine board-certified Army flight surgeons. Results: Of 984 interventions found to be indicated on the 406 charts that met inclusion criteria, 36% were rated as EMT-P level. Seventeen percent were indicated but not performed. EMT-Bs failed to perform indicated procedures 35% of the time vs. 3% in the EMT-P group (p < 0.001). For paramedic-level procedures, EMT-Bs failed to make 76% of appropriate interventions, compared to <1% in the EMT-P group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: There seems to be a substantial number of procedures beyond the scope of standard Army flight medic training being required for Army AMT missions. It seems that when advance interventions are indicated, those trained to the EMT-P level perform them significantly more often than those trained to Army standard. Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, the authors suggest the Army consider adopting the standards required for civilian AMT.

Most models are mainly developed within three decision support frameworks, which are the life-cycle assessment, the cost–benefit analysis and the multi-criteria decision-making. These frameworks are reviewed and their strengths and weaknesses as well as their critical issues are analyzed, while their possible combinations and extensions are also discussed. Furthermore, the paper presents how cooperative and non-cooperative game-theoretic approaches can be used for the purpose of modeling and analyzing decision-making in situations with multiple stakeholders. Specifically, since a waste management model is sustainable when considering not only environmental and economic but also social aspects, the waste management bargaining game is introduced as a specific decision support framework in which future models can be developed.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 27 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1928 EP - 1938 AB - Exposure to cyanide causes a spectrum of cardiac, neurological, and metabolic dysfunctions that can be fatal. Improved cyanide antidotes are needed, but the ideal biological pathways to target are not known. To understand better the metabolic effects of cyanide and to discover novel cyanide antidotes, we developed a zebrafish model of cyanide exposure and scaled it for high-throughput chemical screening. In a screen of 3120 small molecules, we discovered 4 novel antidotes that block cyanide toxicity. The most potent antidote was riboflavin. Metabolomic profiling of cyanide-treated zebrafish revealed changes in bile acid and purine metabolism, most notably by an increase in inosine levels. Riboflavin normalizes many of the cyanide-induced neurological and metabolic perturbations in zebrafish. The metabolic effects of cyanide observed in zebrafish were conserved in a rabbit model of cyanide toxicity. Further, humans treated with nitroprusside, a drug that releases nitric oxide and cyanide ions, display increased circulating bile acids and inosine. In summary, riboflavin may be a novel treatment for cyanide toxicity and prophylactic measure during nitroprusside treatment, inosine may serve as a biomarker of cyanide exposure, and metabolites in the bile acid and purine metabolism pathways may shed light on the pathways critical to reversing cyanide toxicity.

Key to these changes is the addition of Au-based surfactant nanoparticles (SNPs) which are adsorbed at the interface between block copolymer-containing emulsion droplets and the surrounding amphiphilic surfactant to afford asymmetric, ellipsoid particles. The mechanism of formation for these novel nanostructures was investigated by systematically varying the volume fraction of SNPs, with the results showing the critical nature that the segregation of SNPs to specific interfaces plays in controlling structure. A theoretical description of the system allows the size distribution and aspect ratio of the asymmetric block copolymer colloidal particles to be correlated with the experimental results.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 87 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 4952 EP - 4964 SN - 0022538X AB - There are no vaccines or therapeutics currently approved for the prevention or treatment of ebolavirus infection. Previously, a replicon vaccine based on Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) demonstrated protective efficacy against Marburg virus in nonhuman primates. Here, we report the protective efficacy of Sudan virus (SUDV)- and Ebola virus (EBOV)-specific VEEV replicón particle ( VRP) vaccines in nonhuman primates. VRP vaccines were developed to express the glycoprotein (GP) of either SUDV or EBOV. A single intramuscular vaccination of cynomolgus macaques with VRP expressing SUDV GP provided com-plete protection against intramuscular challenge with SUDV. Vaccination against SUDV and subsequent survival of SUDV challenge did not fully protect cynomolgus macaques against intramuscular EBOV back-challenge. However, a single simultaneous intramuscular vaccination with VRP expressing SUDV GP combined with VRP expressing EBOV GP did provide complete protection against intramuscular challenge with either SUDV or EBOV in cynomolgus macaques. Finally, intramuscular vaccination with VRP expressing SUDV GP completely protected cynomolgus macaques when challenged with aerosolized SUDV, although complete protection against aerosol challenge required two vaccinations with this vaccine.

Magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2CO4) and AION are promising candidate materials for application as a hard front layer in transparent armor. Comprehensive, systematic investigations of the fragmentation of ceramics have shown that the mode of fragmentation is one of the key parameters influencing the ballistic resistance of ceramics. In the study described here, the fragmentation of AION and three types of spinel was analyzed: two types of fine grained spinel with nominal average grain sizes 0.6 μm and 1.6 μm and a bimodal grain-sized spinel with large grains of 250 μm size in a fine grain (5-20 pm) matrix were examined. The ceramic specimens of 6-mm thickness were glued to an aluminum backing and impacted with armor piercing (AP) projectiles of caliber 7.62 mm at two different velocities-850 mis and 1100 mis. The targets were integrated into a target box, which allowed for an almost complete recovery and analysis of the ceramic fragments. Different types of high-speed cameras were applied in order to visualize the different phases of fragment formation and ejection. A laser light-sheet illumination technique was applied in combination with high-speed cameras in order to determine size and speed of ejected ceramic fragments during projectile penetration. The application of the visualization techniques allowed for the analysis of the dynamics of the fragment formation and interaction with the projectile. A significant difference in the fragment size distributions of bimodal grain-sized spinel and AION was observed.

During gun-launch, the electronics are subjected to 3-dimensional g-forces as high as 15,000 G. The U.S. Army uses finite element analysis to simulate electronics with high-g, dynamic loads. Electronics are difficult to model due to the large variation in size, from large circuit boards, to very small solder joints and solder pads. This means that to accurately model such small features would require very large models that are computationally expensive to analyze; often beyond the capability of resources available. Therefore, small features such as solder joints are often not included in the finite element models to make the models computationally tractable. The question is: what is the effect on model accuracy without these small features in the model? The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect that solder joints and solder pads have on the accuracy of the structural analysis of electronic components mounted on circuit boards during gun shot. Finite element models of simplified circuit boards, chips, and potting were created to do the evaluation. Modal analysis and dynamic structural analysis using typical gun loads were done. Both potting at high temperature (soft) and potting at low temperature (stiff) were used in the dynamic analysis. In the modal analysis there was no potting. All of these models were run with and without solder. In all cases, the results differed between the models with solder and those without. In the models with potting, there was a difference in magnitude and stress distribution between the models with and without solder. This indicates that there is a significant reduction in accuracy when solder is not included in the model.

Current numerical tools allow accurate calculation of the muzzle exit event given that the engineer understands the forces acting on the projectile. Dynamic response of a structure is well understood by persons working in the field; however, engineers who do not regularly deal with dynamic analyses generally have difficulty interpreting results from both analyses and tests. This paper details the mathematics associated with this event so that the engineer confronted with a dynamics related issue can have a reference for understanding and interpretation. The results of a simple model show that accelerometer data should be used with caution and-the support of a finite element analysis of the projectile structure with the proper pressure decay is usually necessary. Recommendations for use of measured acceleration data for modeling and simulation are provided.

To reduce the costs of solventless propellants production, shear roll mill and continuous extrusion processing was investigated. As described in this paper JA-2 a double base propellant cannot be processed without solvent by the extrusion process. An alternative JA-2 equivalent propellant was defined. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the manufacturing of this propellant by solventless continuous twin screw extrusion processing while maintaining gun performance characteristics of conventional JA-2 propellant. This is elucidated by explicitly researching the relationship between interior ballistic properties of the gun propellant and utilizing a continuous manufacturing process. Processing conditions were established, and the propellant was manufactured accordingly. The extruded propellant has the desired properties, which resulted in a comparable gun performance as the conventional JA-2 propellant.

T1 - Discovery of subtype selective muscarinic receptor antagonists as alternatives to atropine using in silico pharmacophore modeling and virtual screening methods. JO - Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry JF - Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Y1 - 2013/05// VL - 21 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2651 EP - 2662 SN - 09680896 AB - Abstract: Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) have five known subtypes which are widely distributed in both the peripheral and central nervous system for regulation of a variety of cholinergic functions. Atropine is a well known muscarinic subtype non-specific antagonist that competitively inhibits acetylcholine (ACh) at postganglionic muscarinic sites. Atropine is used to treat organophosphate (OP) poisoning and resulting seizures in the warfighter because it competitively inhibits acetylcholine (ACh) at the muscarinic cholinergic receptors. ACh accumulates due to OP inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the enzyme that hydrolyzes ACh. However, atropine produces several unwanted side-effects including dilated pupils, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and dry mouth. To overcome these side-effects, our goal was to find an alternative to atropine that emphasizes M1 (seizure prevention) antagonism but has minimum M2 (cardiac) and M3 (e.g., eye) antagonism so that an effective less toxic medical countermeasure may be developed to protect the warfighter against OP and other chemical warfare agents (CWAs). We adopted an in silico pharmacophore modeling strategy to develop features that are characteristics of known M1 subtype-selective compounds and used the model to identify several antagonists by screening an in-house (WRAIR-CIS) compound database. The generated model for the M1 selectivity was found to contain two hydrogen bond acceptors, one aliphatic hydrophobic, and one ring aromatic feature distributed in a 3D space. From an initial identification of about five hundred compounds, 173 compounds were selected through principal component and cluster analyses and in silico ADME/Toxicity evaluations. Next, these selected compounds were evaluated in a subtype-selective in vitro radioligand binding assay. Twenty eight of the compounds showed antimuscarinic activity. Nine compounds showed specificity for M1 receptors and low specificity for M3 receptors. The pK i values of the compounds range from 4.5 to 8.5nM in comparison to a value of 8.7nM for atropine. 2-(diethylamino)ethyl 2,2-diphenylpropanoate (ZW62841) was found have the best desired selectivity. None of the newly found compounds were previously reported to exhibit antimuscarinic specificity. Both theoretical and experimental results are presented.

JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2013/04/26/ VL - 54 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2555 EP - 2564 SN - 00323861 AB - Abstract: Polymer gels are composed of a chemically or physically cross-linked polymer that is highly swollen with solvent. Two important limitations for the practical application of polymer gels are low toughness and a limited ability to tailor the strain-rate dependent mechanical response. Both these limitations are due to the high loadings of small molecule solvents that are typically incorporated into the gel formulation. Here, we provide insight into the role of physical entanglements on the performance of polymer gels, when the solvent molecular weight is large enough to entangle with the polymer network. Our simulations demonstrate that the solvent entanglements dominate the time-dependent elastic modulus of polymer gels with high-molecular-weight solvent. We have found that entanglement contribution to the modulus is essentially equal for the entangled polymer melt and loosely cross-linked entangled polymer gel at high strain rate. At lower strain rate, the modulus of the polymer gels develops a long-lived plateau that originates from “semi-trapped” entanglements formed between network strands and polymer solvent. The simulations were validated with selected experiments of chemically cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers loaded with a non-reactive silicone oil solvent, where the solvent molecular weight was varied. The simulations and experimental results demonstrate that highly entangled solvent can be used to tune the rate dependent modulus of polymer gels.

While many factors can affect the microstructure anisotropy, this research focusses on the role played by grain boundary energy anisotropy. Specifically, for each computed grain orientation and surface normal, the corresponding surface energy is assigned through a mapping process using Wulff plots. Various Wulff plot geometries are considered, and their respective impact on the grain growth anisotropy is evaluated. In addition to demonstrating the utility of this method for use with anisotropic grain growth models, this work advances the state of the art by providing a means of quantifying the degree of anisotropy through the use of statistics generated by frequency distributions of normalized grain radii.

JO - Wear JF - Wear Y1 - 2013/04/15/ VL - 302 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 1040 EP - 1049 SN - 00431648 AB - Abstract: Engineered surfaces can provide superior resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear. There are many types of hard coatings readily available including diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings, nitrides, carbides, oxides, etc., and due to the many processing alternatives including alloying element, thickness, deposition technique, etc. each of these types contains a virtually endless number of choices. Fundamental materials properties such as hardness and toughness are often not adequate to reflect how a particular coating will perform, and some of these properties, toughness for example, can be hard to measure and are usually not available. In contrast, bench-scale measurements of friction and wear can provide reliable and meaningful data. However, many of these techniques are expensive and time-consuming and determining the best coating to meet the requirements of a specific application amongst this endless variety of materials can be cost-prohibitive. In this case, ball-on-three-disk (BOTD) test methods are used to provide a rapid, cost-effective, and accurate measure of the wear and abrasion resistance of representative samples of many of the types of coatings being designed with modern techniques. This work provides a case study of steel coated with seven types of nitrides, novel Cr and Ni plated coatings, as well as baseline uncoated and manganese phosphate coated steel samples. The data illustrates the value of the BOTD test method as a bench-scale tribological test as well as significant insight to how subtle design features and changes in the testing conditions of coatings can lead to significant differences in performance.

In the hardened state, compressive tests and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize type I Portland cement mortars. During Stage-I, the rheology of superplasticized grouts (w/b=0.35 and 0.40) was obtained by the Marsh cone test. Mineral admixtures in superplasticized grouts decrease the flow times and the saturation dosages when compared to the superplasticized-control specimens. In Stage-II, experimental designs at w/b=0.35 produced flow area, unit weight and air content in mineral admixture-systems better than in superplasticized-control samples. During Stage-III, the maximum strength in the nano-SiO2-system was obtained at 1.0wt%, whereas in micro-SiO2-systems, this effect occurred at 15wt%. SEM examinations in the interfacial transition zone suggest that compressive strengths of nano-SiO2-systems were controlled by both densification and filler effects, whereas micro-SiO2-systems were controlled only by the latter.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 822 EP - 830 SN - 07307268 AB - On December 22, 2008, failure of an earthen containment structure resulted in the release of approximately 4.1 million m3 of coal fly ash into the Emory River and the surrounding area from the Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston Fossil Plant near Kingston, Tennessee, USA. The purpose of the present study was to assess the potential of dredging activities performed to remove the fly ash from the river to result in increased risk to pelagic fish, with special consideration of mobilization of metals. Elutriates were created using two sources of fly ash by bubbling with air over 10 d. This elutriate preparation method was designed to represent worst-case conditions for oxidation, metal release, and dissolution. Larval and juvenile Pimephales promelas underwent 10-d exposures to these elutriates. Larval end points included survival and biomass, and juvenile end points included survival, length, biomass, liver somatic index, and bioaccumulation. No significant toxicity was observed. Bioaccumulation of metals in juveniles was found to be primarily attributable to metals associated with particles in the gut. Results suggest little potential for toxicity to related fish species due to fly ash removal dredging activities given the extreme conditions represented by the elutriates in the present study.

The multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) technique of Izvekov et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 120, 10896 (2004)] is applied to a polymer system to calculate nonbonded interactions. The inverse Boltzmann inversion method was used to parametrize the bonded and bond-angle bending interactions. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed, and the CG model exhibited a significantly lower modulus compared to the atomistic model at low temperature and high strain rate. In an attempt to improve the CG model performance, several other parametrization schemes were used to build other models from this base model. The first of these models included standard frictional forces through use of the constant-température dissipative particle dynamics method that improved the modulus, yet was not transferrable to higher temperatures and lower strain rates. Other models were built by increasing the attraction between CG beads through direct manipulation of the nonbonded potential, where an improvement of the stress response was found. For these models, two parametrization protocols that shifted the force to more attractive values were explored. The first protocol involved a uniform shift, while the other protocol shifted the force in a more localized region. The uniformly shifted potential greatly affected the structure of the equilibrium model as compared to the locally shifted potential, yet was more transferrable to different temperatures and strain rates. Further improvements in the coarse-graining protocol to generate models that more satisfactorily capture mechanical properties are suggested.

JO - Journal of Heat Transfer JF - Journal of Heat Transfer Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 135 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 4 SN - 00221481 AB - The effect of fill volume on the heat transfer performance of a cylindrical thermosyphon with an aspect ratio (ratio of the length of the evaporator section to the inner diameter) of 2.33 immersed in a cooling air flow is investigated. The fill volume was systematically varied from 0% to 70.3% of the volume of the evaporator section in a copper-water thermosyphon having an inner diameter of 19 mm. The condenser section was immersed in a uniform air flow in the test section of an open return wind tunnel. The heat transfer rate was measured as a function of evaporator temperature and fill volume, and these results were characterized by three distinct regions. From 0% to roughly 16% fill volume (Region I), the low rate of heat transfer, which is insensitive to fill volume, suggests that dry out may be occurring. In Region II (extending to approximately 58% fill volume), the heat transfer rate increases approximately linearly with fill volume, and increasing evaporator temperature results in decreased rate of heat transfer. Finally, in Region 111 (from roughly 58-70.3%), the rate of heat transfer increases more rapidly, though still linearly, with fill volume, and increasing evaporator temperature results in increased rate of heat transfer. The thermosyphon rate of heat transfer is greatest at 70.3% fill volume for every evaporator temperature.

Someone in a neutral or negative affective state might draw the association between cold and hot, whereas someone in a positive affective state might spontaneously form the more distant association between cold and sneeze. Could the reverse be true, that generating increasingly broad or narrow associations will put someone in a more or less positive affective state? We test this possibility by using verbal free association tasks, and asking whether the breadth of semantic associativity between cue words and generated responses might predict resulting affective states. Two experiments show that generating broader associations, regardless of their valence, changes affect; specifically, broader associations lowered negative affect and marginally increased positive affect over time. These findings carry implications for theories positing interactions between brain areas mediating associative processing and affect, and may hold promise for enhancing affect in clinical contexts.

Conservative resection of dominant anterior frontal or temporal cortex frequently results in post-operative naming deficits despite standard pre-operative electrocortical stimulation mapping of visual object (picture) naming. Naming to auditory description may better simulate word retrieval in human conversation but is not typically tested, in part due to the time demands of electrocortical stimulation mapping. Electrocorticographic high gamma (60–150Hz) activity, recorded simultaneously through the same electrodes used for stimulation mapping, has recently been used to map brain function more efficiently, and has at times predicted deficits not anticipated based on stimulation mapping alone. The present study investigated electrocorticographic mapping of visual object naming and auditory descriptive naming within conservative dominant temporal or frontal lobe resection boundaries in 16 patients with 933 subdural electrodes implanted for epilepsy surgery planning. A logistic regression model showed that electrodes within traditional conservative dominant frontal or temporal lobe resection boundaries were significantly more likely to record high gamma activity during auditory descriptive naming than during visual object naming. Eleven patients ultimately underwent resection and 7 demonstrated post-operative language deficits not anticipated based on electrocortical stimulation mapping alone. Four patients with post-operative deficits underwent a resection that included sites where high gamma activity was observed during naming. These findings indicate that electrocorticographic mapping of auditory descriptive naming may reduce the risk of permanent post-operative language deficits following dominant temporal or frontal resection.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 52 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 00913286 AB - For more than 50 years, the U.S. Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) has been studying the science behind the human processes of searching and detecting, and using that knowledge to develop and refine its models for military imaging systems. Modeling how human observers perform military tasks while using imaging systems in the field and linking that model with the physics of the systems has resulted in the comprehensive sensor models we have today. These models are used by the government, military, industry, and academia for sensor development, sensor system acquisition, military tactics development, and war-gaming. From the original hypothesis put forth by John Johnson in 1958, to modeling time-limited search, to modeling the impact of motion on target detection, to modeling target acquisition performance in different spectral bands, the concept of search has a wide-ranging history. Our purpose is to present a snapshot of that history; as such, it will begin with a description of the search-modeling task, followed by a summary of highlights from the early years, and concluding with a discussion of search and detection modeling today and the changing battlefield. Some of the topics to be discussed will be classic search, clutter, computational vision models and the ACQUIRE model with its variants. We do not claim to present a complete history here, but rather a look at some of the work that has been done, and this is meant to be an introduction to an extensive amount of work on a complex topic. That said, it is hoped that this overview of the history of search and detection modeling of military imaging systems pursued by NVESD directly, or in association with other government agencies or contractors, will provide both the novice and experienced search modeler with a useful historical summary and an introduction to current issues and future challenges.

Through comprehensive analysis, we elucidate the identity of the most detrimental impurities and further report an improved procedure for preparation of NaNT, which greatly improves the purity, while avoiding the handling of acid copper(II) nitrotetrazolate, a highly sensitive explosive intermediate. In the new procedure, 5-aminotetrazole is diazotized with sodium nitrite, cupric sulfate, and nitric acid. Copper is precipitated as its oxide and the aqueous solution evaporated. After soxhlet extraction with acetone, large crystals of NaNT are obtained. The prepared material is suitable for preparation of lead azide replacement DBX-1 [copper(I) 5-nitrotetrazolate] as evidenced by successful use in M55 stab detonators.

Today's wide-bandgap semiconductor-based power electronics have demonstrated a potential of operating above 400^\circC, however, they are still limited by packaging. Among the most promising alternatives is the Au–Sn eutectic solder, which has been widely used due to its excellent mechanical and thermal properties. However, the operating temperature of this metallurgical system is still limited to \sim250^\circC owing to its melting temperature of 280^\circC. Therefore, a high-temperature-resistant system is much needed, but without affecting the current processing temperature of \sim325^\circC, typically exhibited in most high-temperature Pb-free solders. In this paper, we present the development and characterization of a fluxless die-attach soldering process based on gold-enriched solid–liquid interdiffusion (SLID). A low-melting-point material (eutectic Au–Sn) is deposited in the face of a substrate, whereas a high-melting-point material, gold in this instance, is deposited in its mating substrate. Deposition of all materials was performed using a jet vapor deposition (JVD) equipment where thicknesses are controlled to achieve specific compositions in the mixture. Sandwiched coupons are isothermally processed in a vacuum reflow furnace for different reflow times. Postprocessed samples confirm the interdiffusion mechanism as evidenced by the formation of sound joints that prove to be thermally stable up to \sim490^\circC after the completion of the SLID process. Differential scanning calorimetry demonstrate the progression of the SLID process by quantifying the remaining low-melting-point constituent as a function of time and temperature, this serving as an indicator of the completion of the soldering process. Mechanical testing reveals a joint with shear strength varying from 39 to 45.5 MPa, demonstrating to be stable even after 500 h of isothermal aging. Moreover, these investigations successfully demonstrate the use of the Au–Sn SLID system and the JVD technology as potential manufacturing processes and as a lead-free die-attach technology.

In this paper, an algebraic multigrid (AMG) method, which combines the classical coarsening scheme by [19] with an energy-minimizing interpolation algorithm by [26], is employed and tested for subsurface water simulations. Based on numerical tests using real field data, our results suggest that the energy-minimizing algebraic multigrid method is efficient and, more importantly, very robust.

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 51 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 910 EP - 921 SN - 00011452 AB - The extension of the surrogate-based recurrence framework approach to account for time-varying swept flow effects under dynamic stall conditions is described. Using full-order solutions generated by the OVERFLOW computational fluid dynamics code, the surrogate-based recurrence framework reduced-order modeling approach is shown to effectively mimic full-order solutions of unsteady lift, moment, and drag under dynamic stall conditions while maintaining the computational efficiency associated with semiempirical dynamic stall models. This level of functionality represents a new capability for rotary-wing aeroelasticity applications. Furthermore, a generalized kriging formulation based on nonstationary Gaussian process modeling is implemented in a tractable manner by locally optimizing the high-dimensional likelihood function in the vicinity of the stationary solution. The resulting nonstationary covariance structures are shown to significantly improve the accuracy of the surrogate-based recurrence framework predicted moment stall characteristics compared to a stationary model. It is shown that the nonstationary surrogate-based recurrence framework approach is better able to adapt to abrupt changes in airload behavior caused by the underlying dynamic stall vortex dynamics. The results indicate that the surrogate-based recurrence framework approach based on nonstationary Gaussian process models is a promising alternative to widely used semiempirical rotorcraft dynamic stall models that cannot account for the effects of time-varying velocity components associated with forward flight.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 87 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3801 EP - 3814 SN - 0022538X AB - Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are critical targets of Ebola virus (EBOV) infection in vivo. However, the susceptibility of mono-cytes to infection is controversial. Studies indicate productive monocyte infection, and yet monocytes are also reported to be resistant to EBOV GP-mediated entry. In contrast, monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells are permissive for both EBOV entry and replication. Here, freshly isolated monocytes are demonstrated to indeed be refractory to EBOV entry. How-ever, EBOV binds monocytes, and delayed entry occurs during monocyte differentiation. Cultured monocytes spontaneously downregulate the expression of viral entry restriction factors such as interferon-inducible transmembrane proteins, while up-regulating the expression of critical EBOV entry factors cathepsin B and NPC1. Moreover, these processes are accelerated by EBOV infection. Finally, ectopic expression of NPC1 is sufficient to rescue entry into an undifferentiated, normally nonpermis-sive monocytic cell line. These results define the molecular basis for infection of APCs and suggest means to limit APC infection.

Some auditors are direct stakeholders that are employed by food establishments to conduct internal audits, while other auditors may represent the interests of a second-party purchaser or a third-party auditing agency. Some buyers conduct their own audits or additional testing, while some buyers trust the results of third-party audits or inspections. Third-party auditors, however, use various food safety audit standards and most do not have a vested interest in the products being sold. Audits are conducted under a proprietary standard, while food safety inspections are generally conducted within a legal framework. There have been many foodborne illness outbreaks linked to food processors that have passed third-party audits and inspections, raising questions about the utility of both. Supporters argue third-party audits are a way to ensure food safety in an era of dwindling economic resources. Critics contend that while external audits and inspections can be a valuable tool to help ensure safe food, such activities represent only a snapshot in time. This paper identifies limitations of food safety inspections and audits and provides recommendations for strengthening the system, based on developing a strong food safety culture, including risk-based verification steps, throughout the food safety system.

Variations in the chemical structures of kerogens from high volatile bituminous coal near two igneous dike intrusions in the Illinois Basin were characterized in detail by advanced solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. With decreasing distance to dike contacts and increasing thermal maturity (vitrinite reflectance R o from 0.62% to 5.03%), the new insights into the chemical structural changes in coal kerogens include (i) the C(CH2)C groups removed faster than CCH3 groups, suggesting that the major cleavage of aliphatics should not occur at aryl rings, (ii) a progressive decrease of the relative abundance of protonated aromatic carbons, possibly due to replacement of aromatic hydrogens by aryl groups via cross-linking, and (iii) an increase in the aromatic cluster size, in addition to the well established changes of the elimination of aliphatics and aromatic C-O groups and an increase in aromaticity. For the first time the growth of aromatic cluster sizes with increasing maturity was quantitatively estimated. Another novel finding is that coal kerogen (kerogen #22) directly at the contact with the large dike retained considerable aliphatic components with olefinic and COO groups. These aliphatic components could have been entrapped and failed to diffuse out rapidly enough because intense and very fast heating rendered this kerogen partially fluidized. Our advanced solid-state NMR techniques provided deep insights into the structural changes in kerogen from bituminous coal in response to dike intrusions which cannot be achievable using routine 13C cross polarization/magic angle spinning technique.

The library of bacterial strains was identified using both random and rational approaches. Specifically, two representative strains from eight categories of extremophiles were chosen at random. For the rational approach, the protein sequence of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) from Brevundimonas diminuta was searched against a non-redundant protein database using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool to find regions of local similarity between sequences. Over 15 protein sequences with significant sequence similarity to OPH were identified from a variety of bacterial strains. Some of these matches were based on predicted protein structures derived from bacterial genome sequences rather than from bona fide proteins isolated from bacteria. Of the 25 strains selected for nerve agent testing, three bacterial strains had measurable levels of OP hydrolase activity. These strains are Ammoniphilus oxalaticus, Haloarcula sp., and Micromonospora aurantiaca. Lysates from A. oxalaticus had detectable hydrolysis of VR; Haloarcula sp. had appreciable hydrolysis of VX and VR, whereas lysates from M. aurantiaca had detectable hydrolysis of VR and GD.

It is preferable that the new PON1 variants have broad spectrum hydrolase activities to hydrolyze both G- and V-class OPs. H115W PON1 has shown improvements over wild type PON1 in its capacity to hydrolyze some OP compounds. We improved upon these activities either by substituting a tryptophan (F347W) near the putative active site residues for enhanced substrate binding or by reducing a bulky group (Y71A) at the periphery of the putative enzyme active site. When compared to H115W alone, we found that H115W/Y71A and H115W/F347W maintained VX catalytic efficiency but showed mixed results for the capacity to hydrolyze paraoxon. Testing our double mutants against racemic sarin, we observed reduced values of K M for H115W/F347W that modestly improved catalytic efficiency over wild type and H115W. Contrary to previous reports, we show that H115W can hydrolyze soman, and the double mutant H115W/Y71A is nearly 4-fold more efficient than H115W for paraoxon hydrolysis. We also observed modest stereoselectivity for hydrolysis of the P(−) stereoisomer of tabun by H115W/F347W. These data demonstrate enhancements made in PON1 for the purpose of developing an improved catalytic bioscavenger to protect cholinesterase against chemical warfare agents.

Correlations between actual test data and our nonlinear stress-strain response and failure envelope predictions under multi-axial loading for 12 different case studies are presented and discussed. Although our approach to modeling composite failure ranked high when applied to biaxial in-plane loading analysis, the theory does not consistently capture the inherent strengthening mechanisms that can be attributed to triaxial loading and hydrostatic pressure. It is expected that the incorporation of a strain-based ply-level failure criterion that introduces some form of strengthening mechanism under a three-dimensional stress state would significantly improve the accuracy of our predictions.

We hypothesized that a prior history of instability would be a significant risk factor for subsequent injury. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study over a four-year period within a high-risk group of young athletes to address the research hypothesis. Subjects were freshmen entering the U.S. Military Academy in June of 2006. Part of the baseline assessment included documenting a prior history of glenohumeral instability on entry into the study. All subjects were followed for subsequent glenohumeral joint instability events until graduation in May of 2010. The primary outcome of interest in this study was time to glenohumeral instability event during the follow-up period. We examined injury outcomes, looking for any instability, anterior instability, and posterior instability events. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Among the 714 subjects, eight shoulders were excluded from the analyses due to prior surgical stabilization, leaving 1420 shoulders, of which 126 had a self-reported prior history of instability. There were forty-six (thirty-nine anterior and seven posterior) acute instability events documented in the cohort during the follow-up period. Subjects with a prior history of instability were over five times (p < 0.001) more likely to sustain an acute (anterior or posterior) instability event during the follow-up period. Subjects with a history of instability were also 5.6 times (p < 0.001) more likely to experience a subsequent anterior instability event and 4.6 times (p = 0.068) more likely to experience a posterior instability event during follow-up. Similar results were observed in multivariable models after controlling for the influence of demographic and baseline physical examination findings. Conclusions: Despite meeting the rigorous physical induction standards for military service, subjects with a prior history of glenohumeral joint instability were approximately five times more likely to experience a subsequent instability event, regardless of direction, within this high-risk athletic population.

Angle-interlock 3D woven composite specimens were tested under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions to determine the effect of loading rate on damage evolution. The equilibrium condition in the composite specimen under dynamic loads was verified using finite element analysis of the experiment. A high speed camera was used to capture delamination initiation and propagation during both quasi-static and dynamic experiments. Analysis of the load-deflection curves and the high speed images revealed a good correlation between the modes of damage initiation and propagation with the features in the loading response. The apparent inter-laminar shear strength and the bending stiffness increased with rate of loading. While the damage was observed to propagate at a relative steady rate during quasi-static loading, the high rate of energy input during dynamic loading resulted in a rapid propagation of damage and a subsequent loss of stiffness in the composite as noted in the load-deflection curve.

The results strongly support models characterizing annoyance on a community-by-community basis, rather than with complete pooling and analysis of all available surveys. The most likely model was found to be a 2-parameter logistic model, with CTL and CTS fit independently to survey data from each community.

JO - Daedalus JF - Daedalus Y1 - 2013///Spring2013 VL - 142 IS - 2 M3 - Essay SP - 49 EP - 64 SN - 00115266 AB - In recent decades, the U.S. military has enjoyed high levels of public confidence. We argue that the rise (and sustainment) of public confidence in the military reflects two phenomena. First, the public has a high regard for the military and its mission, arising from a shift to a professional (nonconscript) force that is perceived to be competent, fair, and accountable. Second, the public has little fear of military abuses in the domestic arena, owing chiefly to the reduced domestic presence of the military in the post-World War II era, with less emphasis on the physical defense of the homeland; and to the military's careful cultivation of an apolitical culture since Vietnam. We conclude with a brief discussion of the military's efforts to develop and encourage public-mindedness among its members, and the challenges to replicating the military approach in other institutional settings.

Fluorescence and excitation spectra in a range of temperatures of 10–300K were used to infer the energy level schemes of the ground state and the first three excited Er3+ multiplets (4I15/2, 4I13/2, 4I11/2, and 4I9/2) in this material. Obtained experimental data also allowed us to assess this material as a potential gain medium for high power laser applications in anticipation that it becomes available in the low-loss grain-aligned ceramic or single crystalline form in the near future.

JO - Castanea JF - Castanea Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 78 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 28 EP - 36 SN - 00087475 AB - Plant species distributions and transitions between vegetation types are determined by numerous factors, including disturbances such as fire. Documentation of past changes in the distribution and structure of fire-dependent ecosystems is necessary to assess the success of land management in maintaining historic vegetation types. In our study system--longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)-wiregrass (Aristida stricta) savannas and embedded wetlands (i.e., pocosins)--wiregrass is dependent on frequent burning. We used soil carbon (C) isotopes to test for past changes in the abundance of wiregrass and for shifts in the ecotone between savanna and pocosin in four sites at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Wiregrass has a C4 photosynthetic pathway and therefore produces organic matter enriched in 13C compared to other dominant species in the community that have a C3 photosynthetic pathway. At each of the four sites, we measured profiles of soil δ13C to a depth of 1 m at four locations along the vegetation gradient from upland savannas to lowland pocosins. Surface soil δ13C, which reflects C inputs from current vegetation, did not differ along the gradient despite a decrease in wiregrass cover from savanna, where it is abundant, to pocosin, where it is absent. Enrichment of soil δ13C with depth was indistinguishable from effects of decomposition, indicating that past variation in the abundance and distribution of wiregrass was not detectable in our study sites. Our results suggest that wiregrass currently does not produce, and historically has not produced, enough biomass to influence soil δ13C values along the savanna-pocosin gradient.

T1 - Thiol dosing of ZnO single crystals and nanorods: Surface chemistry and photoluminescence JO - Surface Science JF - Surface Science Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 609 M3 - Article SP - 183 EP - 189 SN - 00396028 AB - Abstract: Adsorption of thiols on ZnO(0001) and ZnO nanorods has been investigated using X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS and UPS). Ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) dosing of sputter-cleaned ZnO(0001) with methanethiol (MT), 1-dodecanethiol (DDT), and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) leads to S2p peaks with a binding energy of 163.3eV. Similar results for MPTMS are obtained for sputter-cleaned ZnO(0001) that is pre-dosed with water to form hydroxyl groups. In all cases, the absence of a free thiol S2p peak at 164.2eV indicates that bonding to the surface occurs via the thiol end of the molecule. A DDT-dosed ZnO(0001) sample stored for 10days in UHV and heated to temperatures as high as 150°C exhibits minimal changes in its S/Zn atomic ratio, confirming chemisorption and the presence of a strong bond to the surface. UPS shows that MT adsorption on sputtered ZnO(0001) leads to a 0.7eV increase in work function and perturbation of the MT molecular orbitals, again consistent with chemisorption. Dry ZnO nanorods have been exposed to MT while monitoring their photoluminescence. XPS and Raman spectroscopy confirm thiol adsorption. Relative to dry ZnO, adsorption causes a decrease in intensity of the visible emission peak, but the UV peak remains unchanged. These results indicate that Znrmation quenches radiative decay to the valence band from defect states, possibly by methanethiolate adsorption filling oxygen vacancies.

Detailed comparisons are made on rotor thrust, control angles, power, and section loads to illustrate and understand unique aeromechanics phenomena in this regime. The analysis correctly predicts the thrust reversal with collective at high advance ratios. Rotor induced plus profile power is also reasonably well predicted with proper modeling of the shank. Airloads and structural loads correlation is fair. A significant underprediction of 2-per-revolution structural loads is observed.

Comparisons with available flight test data are provided for all of the predictions. The Hellos framework combines multiple solvers and multiple grid paradigms (unstructured and adaptive Cartesian) such that the advantages of each paradigm is preserved. Further, the software is highly automated for execution and designed in a modular fashion to minimize the burden on both the users and developers. The technical approach presented herein provides details of all of the participant modules and the interfaces used for their integration into the software framework. The results composed of sectional aerodynamic loading and wake visualizations are presented. Solution-based adapative mesh refinement, a salient feature of the Hellos framework, is explored for all flight conditions and comparisons are provided for both aerodynamic loading and vortex wake structure with and without adaptive mesh refinement.

Two examples are provided: (1) a first-order filtered noise process whose state is measured with additive noise, and (2) two first-order coupled processes each of which is driven by white process noise. We found that, for the first example, increasing the first-order AR coefficient while keeping the correlation coefficient between filtered and measured process fixed, transfer entropy increased since the entropy of the measured process was itself increased. For the second example, the minimum correlation coefficient occurs when the process noise variances match. It was seen that matching of these variances results in minimum information flow, expressed as the sum of transfer entropies in both directions. Without a match, the transfer entropy is larger in the direction away from the process having the larger process noise. Fixing the process noise variances, transfer entropies in both directions increase with the coupling strength. Finally, we note that the method can be generally employed to compute other information theoretic quantities as well.

JO - Transactions of the ASABE JF - Transactions of the ASABE Y1 - 2013/03//Mar/Apr2013 VL - 56 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 643 EP - 652 SN - 21510032 AB - In the U.S., the Department of Defense manages more than 5500 military installations that occupy approximately 12 million ha of land. These lands are used for various military training programs. Training activities inevitably degrade the land condition, and the degraded land condition, in turn, limits the land's military training carrying capacity. To sustain the military training land carrying capacity and the environment, land managers must monitor and predict changes to the land condition under various military training schemes. The objective of this study is to develop prediction models for land condition based on military training intensity and on independent variables that play a significant role in driving land condition changes at Fort Riley, Kansas. It is assumed that land condition can be quantified using soil erosion as a surrogate measure, which is mainly determined by a ground and vegetation cover factor, in which the larger the factor, the poorer the land condition. In addition to military training intensity, the independent variables used in these prediction models of land condition included distance from the location to roads, terrain slope (which affects military training access), ground cover, landscape fragmentation (an indirect measure of military training induced disturbance), and spatial variability of canopy cover and military training induced disturbance (as reflected in Landsat Thematic Mapper [TM] images). Various regression models were developed, and predictions made by linear and nonlinear models were compared with and without TM images, with and without stepwise regression procedures, and with and without historical land condition variables. Results showed that the absolute Pearson product moment correlation coefficients of ground cover with the cover factor were larger than 0.63; the correlation was greatest and significant at a risk level of 5%. Ground cover was thus involved in all the stepwise regression and nonlinear models. Although military training intensity was significantly correlated with the cover factor, training intensity was excluded from the best models mainly because both ground cover and landscape fragmentation that existed in the models also reflected the military training induced disturbance. Compared to models in which all the variables were involved, the stepwise regression models reduced the number of the independent variables from 11 or 15 to 3 or 6 (depending on analysis year) with no significant loss of accuracy. In most cases, adding the near and middle infrared TM images, which revealed the spatial variability of military training induced disturbance, improved the prediction of land condition. Based on the correlation coefficient and root mean square error (RMSE) between the predicted and observed values of the cover factor, the nonlinear models that used significant independent variables led to more accurate predictions than the linear regression models. This suggests that the combination of stepwise regression and nonlinear models could increase the accuracy of prediction. Moreover, adding the historical land condition variables, such as historical cover factor and ground cover, into the models could greatly decrease prediction errors.

From a dilute solution of oxalic acid, adsorption as the oxalate/bioxylate anion is so rapid as to be diffusion-controlled over the range of potentials at which the surface is free of adsorbed oxygen; most of the final coverage achieved in less than a half-second. Cathodic desorption of the adsorbed anions occurs in the millisecond range. An isotherm for reversible adsorption applies to the range 0–0.9V vs. a RHE but below 0.3V, there is conversion to irreversible adsorption that is perceptible after hundreds of seconds. Irreversible adsorption as carbon monoxide blocks cathodic hydrogen underpotential deposition (upd) while adsorption as anions does not because the latter desorb at upd potentials. Adsorbed oxalic acid has a negative effect on the anodic oxidation of ethylene glycol and the reduction of molecular oxygen.

The metrics selection process, that in practice is left to the subjective judgment of stakeholders, is often complex and should simultaneously take into account monitoring data, environmental models, socio-economic considerations, and stakeholder interests. With limited funding, it is often very difficult to balance the importance of multiple metrics, often competing, intended to measure different environmental, social, and economic aspects of the system. To help restoration planners and practitioners develop the most useful and informative design and monitoring programs, we propose the use of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods, broadly defined, to select optimal ecosystem restoration metric sets. In this paper, we apply and compare two MCDA methods, multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), and probabilistic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (ProMAA), for a hypothetical river restoration case study involving multiple stakeholders with competing interests. Overall, the MCDA results in a systematic, quantitative, and transparent evaluation and comparison of potential metrics that provides planners and practitioners with a clear basis for selecting the optimal set of metrics to evaluate restoration alternatives and to inform restoration design and monitoring. In our case study, the two MCDA methods provide comparable results in terms of selected metrics. However, because ProMAA can consider probability distributions for weights and utility values of metrics for each criterion, it is most likely the best option for projects with highly uncertain data and significant stakeholder involvement. Despite the increase in complexity in the metrics selection process, MCDA improves upon the current, commonly-used ad-hoc decision practice based on consultations with stakeholders by applying and presenting quantitative aggregation of data and judgment, thereby increasing the effectiveness of environmental design and monitoring and the transparency of decision making in restoration projects.

Hardiness was negatively related to PTSD symptoms. Time in the military, number of deployments, and total time spent on deployment were all positively related to PTSD symptoms. Hardiness moderated the effects of time in the military on PTSD symptoms, such that time in the military had no effect on those who were high in hardiness. Hardiness did not moderate the effects of either deployment measure. Suggestions to modify current military resilience training programs to most effectively enhance the bene?ts of hardiness are discussed.

SCFFAF specifies that structures be obtained at the CCSD/6-31++G** level of chemical theory and the height of the activation barrier be determined using an energy extrapolation, here a variant of the G2MP2 method. Dynamics are generated in the SCFFAF method from forces computed with a transfer Hamiltonian, which provides information about the curvature of the potential energy surface in the neighborhood of the transition state (TS), as well as the required internal forces. The temperature-dependent reaction rate constants are calculated for the various possible abstraction pathways, primary hydrogen atom abstraction in the case of TMPO, and primary and secondary in the case of TEPO. Since two energetically favorable parent structures for each system are included in the model, the activation energy is calculated with respect to the conformer that connects to a given TS and the total rate constant at a given temperature is Boltzmann weighted with respect to the parent conformer. The computed temperature-dependent rate curves are consistent with published experimental data in both magnitude and temperature dependence. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

T1 - Beach response to a fixed sand bypassing system JO - Coastal Engineering JF - Coastal Engineering Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 73 M3 - Article SP - 28 EP - 42 SN - 03783839 AB - Abstract: Indian River Inlet is located at roughly the mid-point of the Atlantic coast of Delaware and connects the ocean to two Delaware inland bays. Jetties constructed in 1940 have maintained the inlet for navigation purposes but have also acted as a barrier to net northerly alongshore sediment transport causing downdrift erosion. A mobile, land-based bypassing system was initiated in 1990 in an effort to counteract this erosion. Beach profile data from 1985 (pre-bypassing) until 2008 are used to investigate the effect of the sand bypassing system on beaches adjacent to the inlet. The downdrift beach experienced horizontal shoreline erosion between 10 and 60m during the pre-bypassing period but accreted 10–20m during the bypassing period. The mean shoreline location on the updrift beach during bypassing is 10–20m landward (erosion) of its position during the pre-bypassing period. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) amplitudes from analyses performed on mean-removed elevation surfaces during the periods of highest bypassed volume (average of 83% of design rate) showed that the influence of the bypassing system on the downdrift beach extends to about 1500m of the inlet. An EOF analysis showed that different morphologic responses were evident following the initiation of bypass operations. Temporal variations of shoreline and beach morphology were correlated to the temporal variations in bypassing rates on the downdrift beach only. The downdrift beach response was greatest near the inlet for larger bypassing volumes. Correlation in these instances occurred with a roughly 1-year time lag suggesting that the beach quickly redistributes the bypassed sand. EOF amplitude and shoreline response are weakly correlated to bypassed volumes when the system bypassed smaller volumes (average of 56% of design rate) of sand suggesting that there is a minimum bypassing rate, regardless of yearly variability, below which the effect on the downdrift beach is obscured.

Fourteen of the sites were in Florida, 2 each in Texas and Georgia and one site in Alabama. Over 320,000 adult weevils were included in these releases. Despite the fact that a few adults were recovered as late as 4.5 yr post-release, presence of permanent, self-perpetuating populations was never confirmed. Then, during 2009 adult B. hydrillae were collected in southern Louisiana, at least 580 km from the nearest release site and 13 yr after attempts to establish this insect had terminated. This suggests that earlier recoveries were indicative of successful establishment and that this weevil species has persisted and dispersed widely in the southeastern USA. Nonetheless, there is no evidence that B. hydrillae has had a suppressive effect on hydrilla.

A pesar del hecho de que pocos adultos fueron recuperados tan tarde como 4.5 años después de la liberación, la presencia de poblaciones permanentes, auto perpetúas nunca fue confirmado. Luego, durante el año 2009 se recolectaron adultos de B. hydrillae en el sur de Louisiana, por lo menos 580 km del lugar más cercano de donde fueron liberados y 13 años después de haber terminado los intentos de establecer este insecto en los Estados Unidos. Esto sugiere que las recuperaciones anteriores son indicadores del establecimiento exitoso y que esta especie de gorgojo ha persistido y se dispersaron ampliamente en el sudeste de los EE.UU. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de que el gorgojo ha tenido un efecto supresor sobre la maleza.

Given this interest, it is desirable to understandtheir molecular composition and structural variations with pressureto derive their stability and determine the conditions in which theytransform physically or chemically. In this study, we examine theroom-temperature isothermal compression behavior of bis-triaminoguanidiniumazotetrazolate (TAGzT) by in situ Raman spectroscopy to pressuresnear 17 GPa. We assign the characteristic vibrational bands and reportthe effects of pressure on band intensity, line width, and frequencyshift. Two prominent peaks near 1370 and 1470 cm–1arise from the C–N and NN symmetric stretches, respectively.Overall, the intensity of these bands and others diminishes with pressure,and their spectral linewidths increase monotonically upon compression.The vibrational frequency modes blue shift linearly upon compression,indicating a generalized stiffening of the bonds as the pressure increases.These results, together with micro Raman spectroscopic analyses ofthe recovered, decompressed samples, suggest that TAGzT does not undergoany phase transitions within this pressure range. We estimate andreport the C–N and NN intermolecular bond lengths undercompression.

Mechanical properties with respect to compositional changes and annealing temperatures have been investigated using microhardness and shear punch tests. We found the rate of grain growth of the Fe91Ni8Zr1 alloy to be much less than that of pure Fe and the Fe92Ni8 alloy at elevated temperatures. The microstructure of the ternary Fe91Ni8Zr1 alloy remains nanoscale up to 700°C where only a few grains grow abnormally whereas annealing of pure iron and the Fe92Ni8 alloy leads to extensive grain growth. The grain growth of the ternary alloy at high annealing temperatures is coupled with precipitation of Fe2Zr. A fine dispersion of precipitated second phase is found to promote the microstructural stability at high annealing temperatures and to increase the hardness and ultimate shear strength of ternary Fe91Ni8Zr1 alloy drastically when the grain size is above nanoscale.

Objective: Develop a biomathematical model for the performance-restoring effects of caffeine in sleep-deprived subjects. Methods: We hypothesized that caffeine has a multiplicative effect on performance during sleep loss. Accordingly, we first used a phenomenological two-process model of sleep regulation to estimate performance in the absence of caffeine, and then multiplied a caffeine-effect factor, which relates the pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic effects through the Hill equation, to estimate the performance-restoring effects of caffeine. Results: We validated the model on psychomotor vigilance test data from two studies involving 12 subjects each: (1) single caffeine dose of 600mg after 64.5h of wakefulness and (2) repeated doses of 200mg after 20, 22, and 24h of wakefulness. Individualized caffeine models produced overall errors that were 19% and 42% lower than their population-average counterparts for the two studies. Had we not accounted for the effects of caffeine, the individualized model errors would have been 117% and 201% larger, respectively. Conclusions: The presented model captured the performance-enhancing effects of caffeine for most subjects in the single- and repeated-dose studies, suggesting that the proposed multiplicative factor is a feasible solution.

Due to their high toxicity, suitable methods to quantify palytoxins are needed. Thus, we developed an indirect sandwich ELISA for palytoxin and 42-hydroxy-palytoxin. An intralaboratory study demonstrated sensitivity (limit of detection, LOD = 1.1 ng/mL; limit of quantitation, LOQ = 2.2 ng/mL), accuracy (bias of 2.1%), repeatability (RSDr = 6% and 9% for intra- and interassay variability, respectively) and specificity: other common marine toxins (okadaic acid, domoic acid, saxitoxin, brevetoxin-3, and yessotoxin) do not cross-react in this assay. It performed well in three different matrices: observed LOQs were 11.0, 9.6, and 2.4 ng/mL for mussel extracts, algal net samples and seawater, respectively, with good accuracy and precision. The LOQ in seafood is 11 μg palytoxin/kg mussel meat, lower than that of the most common detection technique, LC-MS/MS.

Such closed cell composite foams, called syntactic foams, are of interest in weight sensitive structural applications. The present work is focused on understanding the compressive failure mechanism and relating them with the material microstructure. The compressive and plateau strengths of syntactic foams with SiCHS are found to be 163 and 110MPa, respectively. The measured properties are considerably higher than the existing fly ash cenosphere filled aluminum matrix syntactic foams. Compressive failure mechanisms are studied for A356/SiCHS syntactic foams and direct evidence of hollow sphere crushing at the end of the elastic regions is obtained. The predictions of compressive strength obtained from an existing model are validated with the experimental results. Extensive analysis of data on open and closed cell foams containing gas porosity and syntactic foams is presented. A clear advantage in terms of low density and high yield strength is observed in A356/SiCHS syntactic foams compared to other foams. Yield strength of aluminum foams may be different at high strain rate compression compared to quasi-static values but most of the foams do not show strong evidence of strain rate sensitivity within the high strain rate regime.

Focused on statistical modeling and numerical optimization strategies, most researchers typically assume a process with reasonably small variability. Realistically, however, industrial processes often exhibit larger variability, particularly in mass production lines. In such cases, many of the modeling assumptions behind the robust parameter design models available in the literature do not hold. Accordingly, the results and recommendations provided to decision makers could generate suboptimal modifications to processes and products. As manufacturers seek improved methods for ensuring quality in resource-constrained environments, experimenters should examine trade-offs to achieve the levels of precision that best support their decision making. In contrast to previous research, this paper proposes a trade-off analysis between the cost of replication and the desired precision of generated solutions. We consider several techniques in the early stages of experimental design, using Monte Carlo simulation as a tool, for revealing potential options to the decision maker. This is perhaps the first study to show the avenue which may lead to more effective robust parameter design models with the optimal combination of cost constraints and desired precision of solutions.

These fish are often the key energy link between primary producers and top predators, such as wading birds, which require high concentrations of stranded fish in accessible depths. Expansion and contraction of seasonal wetlands induce a sequential alternation between rapid biomass growth and concentration, creating the conditions for local stranding of small fish as they move in response to varying water levels. To better understand how landscape topography, hydrology, and fish behavior interact to create high densities of stranded fish, we first simulated population dynamics of small fish, within a dynamic food web, with different traits for movement strategy and growth rate, across an artificial, spatially explicit, heterogeneous, two-dimensional marsh slough landscape, using hydrologic variability as the driver for movement. Model output showed that fish with the highest tendency to invade newly flooded marsh areas built up the largest populations over long time periods with stable hydrologic patterns. A higher probability to become stranded had negative effects on long-term population size, and offset the contribution of that species to stranded biomass. The model was next applied to the topography of a 10km×10km area of Everglades landscape. The details of the topography were highly important in channeling fish movements and creating spatiotemporal patterns of fish movement and stranding. This output provides data that can be compared in the future with observed locations of fish biomass concentrations, or such surrogates as phosphorus ‘hotspots’ in the marsh.

In contrast, live-attenuated vaccines have the advantage of inducing rapid, robust, long-term immunity after a single-dose vaccination. Here we describe novel iDNA vaccine technology that is based on an infectious DNA platform and combines advantages of DNA and live attenuated vaccines. We applied this technology for vaccination against infection with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), an alphavirus from the Togaviridae family. The iDNA vaccine is based on transcription of the full-length genomic RNA of the TC-83 live-attenuated virus from plasmid DNA in vivo. The in vivo-generated viral RNA initiates limited replication of the vaccine virus, which in turn leads to efficient immunization. This technology allows the plasmid DNA to launch a live-attenuated vaccine in vitro or in vivo. Less than 10ng of pTC83 iDNA encoding the full-length genomic RNA of the TC-83 vaccine strain initiated replication of the vaccine virus in vitro. In order to evaluate this approach in vivo, BALB/c mice were vaccinated with a single dose of pTC83 iDNA. After vaccination, all mice seroconverted with no adverse reactions. Four weeks after immunization, animals were challenged with the lethal epidemic strain of VEEV. All iDNA-vaccinated mice were protected from fatal disease, while all unvaccinated controls succumbed to infection and died. To our knowledge, this is the first example of launching a clinical live-attenuated vaccine from recombinant plasmid DNA in vivo.

The engineering mechanisms involved in such blasts include fluid dynamics, solid dynamics, and multi-body dynamics. This paper describes a parallel computer simulation methodology that can be applied to couple the structural deformation prediction of a ground vehicle system and the associated occupant kinematics during a blast event. Generic box and dummy models were used in the demonstration of this newly-developed methodology. The generic system structure consists of an outer cube representing a vehicle armor structure, and a dummy representing a crew member in a ground vehicle. Simulation results for different cases include free air blast wave propagation, blast on a metal plate and over a hemispherical dome, and blast wave interaction with a vehicle and its occupant inside.

For target signatures with large spectral peaks that vary slowly in amplitude and have near constant frequency, the time-varying Doppler shift can be tracked and then removed from the data. The algorithm can be used to preprocess data for classification, tracking, and nulling algorithms. The algorithm was tested on rotorcraft data. The average instantaneous frequency of the first harmonic of a rotorcraft was tracked with a fixed-lag smoother. Then, state space estimates of the frequency were used to calculate a time warping that removed the effect of a time-varying Doppler shift from the data. The algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics in the spectrum of a rotorcraft. The results depended upon the frequency of the harmonics and the processing interval duration. Under good conditions, the results for the fundamental frequency of the target (∼11 Hz) almost achieved an estimated upper bound. The results for higher frequency harmonics had larger increases in the amplitude of the peaks, but significantly lower than the estimated upper bounds.

The barrier function to water permeation following exposure to liquid SM for 8min and excision 3h later did not change significantly. A small, but statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in steady state penetration (Jss), permeability coefficient (Kp) and lag time (t L) of 3H2O was observed between fresh skin and skin stored frozen (−20°C) for up to two weeks. Steady-state penetration and Kp values were significantly higher (P <0.05) in skin stored frozen compared with fresh skin. Fresh naïve skin had an average Kp of 1.65×10−3 cmh−1, whereas frozen naïve skin was 2.04×10−3 cmh−1. Fresh SM exposed skin had a mean Kp of 1.72×10−3 cmh−1, whereas frozen SM exposed skin was 2.31×10−3 cmh−1. Lag times were also shorter (P <0.05) in skin that had been stored frozen. Frozen, SM-exposed porcine abdominal skin may be used for in vitro penetration studies, but effects of treatment and storage on the barrier layer should be taken into account.

It presents three innovations: It is a powerful, cheap, robust, and small advanced personal robot; it forms the foundation of a problem-based learning curriculum; and it enables a novel multi-robot curriculum while fostering collaborative team work on assignments. The robot design has many features specific to educators: It is advanced enough for academic research, has a broad feature set to support a wide range of curricula, and is inexpensive enough to be an effective outreach tool. The low cost allows each student to have their own robot for the semester, so they can work on activities outside the classroom. This robot was used in three different classes in which it was the foundation for an innovative problem-based learning curriculum. In particular, the robot has specialized sensors and a communications system that supports novel multi-robot curricula, which encourage student interaction in new ways. The results are promising; the robot was a big success in graduate, undergraduate, and outreach activities. Finally, student assessments indicate a greater interest and understanding of engineering and other STEM majors, and class evaluations were consistently above average.

A central problem is determining the probability that a small number of mutants overtake a population. Currently, Monte Carlo simulations are used for estimating such fixation probabilities on general directed graphs, since no good analytical methods exist. In this paper, we introduce a novel deterministic framework for computing fixation probabilities for strongly connected, directed, weighted evolutionary graphs under neutral drift. We show how this framework can also be used to calculate the expected number of mutants at a given time step (even if we relax the assumption that the graph is strongly connected), how it can extend to other related models (e.g. voter model), how our framework can provide non-trivial bounds for fixation probability in the case of an advantageous mutant, and how it can be used to find a non-trivial lower bound on the mean time to fixation. We provide various experimental results determining fixation probabilities and expected number of mutants on different graphs. Among these, we show that our method consistently outperforms Monte Carlo simulations in speed by several orders of magnitude. Finally we show how our approach can provide insight into synaptic competition in neurology.

Methods: A descriptive study using narrative text analysis on 3,944 military vehicle crash narratives. Crash data on drivers, from 2001 to 2006, were assembled from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center. Reviewers collected information on the circumstances of crashes and determined if vehicle technology could have prevented the crash. Results: Nearly 98% of the crashes were nonfatal; 63% occurred in the U.S. and 24% in Iraq. Among crash events where the direction of the impact was recorded, 32% were to the front of the vehicle and 16% involved a vehicle being rear-ended. Rollovers were mentioned in 20% of the narratives. Technology was determined to have the potential to prevent 26% of the crashes, with the forward collision warning system, rear end collision avoidance, emergency brake assistance, and rollover stability control system likely to have the greatest impacts. Conclusions: Some technologies available for civilian vehicles may prevent certain military crash circumstances. Impact on Industry: The results of this research are significant in light of ongoing global military operations that rely on military vehicles.

JO - Gerontologist JF - Gerontologist Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 26 EP - 38 SN - 00169013 AB - Purpose: To explore in a sample of older African Americans how religious songs were used to cope with stressful life events and to explore the religious beliefs associated with these songs. Design and Methods: Sixty-five African American older adults residing in the Southeastern US participated in a qualitative descriptive study involving criterion sampling, open-ended semi-structured interviews, qualitative content analysis, and descriptive statistics. Results: Religion expressed through song was a coping strategy for participants experiencing stressful life events who described feelings of being comforted, strengthened, able to endure, uplifted, and able to find peace by turning to the types of religious songs described here. Five types of songs were used including those evoking Thanksgiving and Praise, Instructive, Memory of Forefathers, Communication with God, and Life after Death. Implications: Religious songs are an important form of religious expression important to the mental health of older African Americans. The incorporation of religious songs into spiritual care interventions might enhance the cultural relevance of mental health interventions in this population.

JO - Toxins JF - Toxins Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 5 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 224 EP - 248 SN - 20726651 AB - Vitetta and colleagues identified and characterized a putative vascular leak peptide (VLP) consensus sequence in recombinant ricin toxin A-chain (RTA) that contributed to dose-limiting human toxicity when RTA was administered intravenously in large quantities during chemotherapy. We disrupted this potentially toxic site within the more stable RTA1-33/44-198 vaccine immunogen and determined the impact of these mutations on protein stability, structure and protective immunogenicity using an experimental intranasal ricin challenge model in BALB/c mice to determine if the mutations were compatible. Single amino acid substitutions at the positions corresponding with RTA D75 (to A, or N) and V76 (to I, or M) had minor effects on the apparent protein melting temperature of RTA1-33/44-198 but all four variants retained greater apparent stability than the parent RTA. Moreover, each VLP(-) variant tested provided protection comparable with that of RTA1-33/44-198 against supralethal intranasal ricin challenge as judged by animal survival and several biomarkers. To understand better how VLP substitutions and mutations near the VLP site impact epitope structure, we introduced a previously described thermal stabilizing disulfide bond (R48C/T77C) along with the D75N or V76I substitutions in RTA1-33/44-198. The D75N mutation was compatible with the adjacent stabilizing R48C/T77C disulfide bond and the Tm was unaffected, whereas the V76I mutation was less compatible with the adjacent disulfide bond involving C77. A crystal structure of the RTA1-33/44-198 R48C/T77C/D75N variant showed that the structural integrity of the immunogen was largely conserved and that a stable immunogen could be produced from E. coli. We conclude that it is feasible to disrupt the VLP site in RTA1-33/44-198 with little or no impact on apparent protein stability or protective efficacy in mice and such variants can be stabilized further by introduction of a disulfide bond.

One of the main problems of the H-model is the too free juggling with formulas, leading, in particular, to violation of energy conservation. The model is filled with ungrounded approximations and unsupported conclusions. Some of the model assumptions are mutually contradictory, e.g., it considers anisotropic single-particle phase functions to describe incoherent multiple scattering and simultaneously uses the isotropic function in order to calculate coherent backscattering. Another well-known problem of the H-model is that some of the model parameters have similar effects on the reflectance, which makes it difficult to retrieve unique parameter values. The model uses empirical parameters and, hence, is empirical.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2013/02// VL - 51 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 787 EP - 802 SN - 01962892 AB - Recently, a kernel-based ensemble learning technique for hyperspectral detection/classification problems has been introduced by the authors, to provide robust classification over hyperspectral data with relatively high level of noise and background clutter. The kernel-based ensemble technique first randomly selects spectral feature subspaces from the input data. Each individual classifier, which is in fact a support vector machine (SVM), then independently conducts its own learning within its corresponding spectral feature subspace and hence constitutes a weak classifier. The decisions from these weak classifiers are equally or adaptively combined to generate the final ensemble decision. However, in such ensemble learning, little attempt has been previously made to jointly optimize the weak classifiers and the aggregating process for combining the subdecisions. The main goal of this paper is to achieve an optimal sparse combination of the subdecisions by jointly optimizing the separating hyperplane obtained by optimally combining the kernel matrices of the SVM classifiers and the corresponding weights of the subdecisions required for the aggregation process. Sparsity is induced by applying an l1 norm constraint on the weighting coefficients. Consequently, the weights of most of the subclassifiers become zero after the optimization, and only a few of the subclassifiers with non-zero weights contribute to the final ensemble decision. Moreover, in this paper, an algorithm to determine the optimal full-diagonal bandwidth parameters of the Gaussian kernels of the individual SVMs is also presented by minimizing the radius-margin bound. The optimized full-diagonal bandwidth Gaussian kernels are used by the sparse SVM ensemble to perform binary classification. The performance of the proposed technique with optimized kernel parameters is compared to that of the one with single-bandwidth parameter obtained using cross-validation by testing them on various data sets. On an average, the proposed sparse kernel-based ensemble learning algorithm with optimized full-diagonal bandwidth parameters shows an improvement of 20\% over the existing ensemble learning techniques.

These measurements highlight the effect of altering the molecular weight (M w) of PTMO, which is used as a soft segment (SS), on the microstructure. In particular, at SS M w 2000 g/mol, a strong microphase-separated morphology is observed, whereas a phase-mixed dominated microstructure is noted in PUU with SS M w of 1000 and 650 g/mol. These observations are also consistent with DMA tan δ results. Furthermore, instrumented impact indentation is also utilized for elucidation of dynamic damping characteristics in these PUUs.

T1 - Hydrogeochemistry of seasonal flow regimes in the Chena River, a subarctic watershed draining discontinuous permafrost in interior Alaska (USA) JO - Chemical Geology JF - Chemical Geology Y1 - 2013/01/06/ VL - 335 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 62 SN - 00092541 AB - Abstract: Thawing of permafrost and a shift in the timing of major seasonal transitions (spring melt and fall freeze-up) are two anticipated effects of climate warming in northern regions. These fundamental changes in terrestrial ecosystems could have major ramifications for the timing and fluxes of carbon and nutrient exports from watersheds and the geochemical signatures of northern rivers. Discontinuous permafrost, which underlies watersheds in Interior Alaska (USA), is expected to degrade rapidly in response to climate warming and this will likely alter subsurface flows and flow paths, water residence times, water-soil, and water-rock interactions. This study of the Chena River in Interior Alaska was undertaken to quantify dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), major ion, strontium isotope, and stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope values during two year-long time series sampling periods. Our goal was to identify the hydrogeochemical signatures associated with the major seasonal flow regimes. Periods of increased discharge such as spring melt and major summer precipitation events yielded elevated DOC and TDN concentrations, diluted major ion concentrations, and shifted stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios from base flow toward precipitation values. During dry summer periods nutrient concentrations decreased and strontium isotope values were indicative of a higher proportion of silicate versus carbonate mineral dissolution. Winter base flow had a unique geochemical signal with a slight increase in TDN concentrations compared to typical summer conditions, and a lower proportion of silicate versus carbonate mineral dissolution. Since flow paths in subarctic watersheds can change dramatically over the course of a year we interpreted our results within the context of a schematic model for subsurface flow to identify how permafrost degradation might affect nutrient exports and hydrogeochemical patterns in these watersheds.

Over the last 20 years as the threats have escalated and become more varied, the challenges for rapidly developing optimized threat specific transparent armor packages have become extremely complex. Ultimate failure of structural ceramics in impact events is a function of the temporal and spatial interaction of the macro-stresses at the macro-, micro- and nano-structural scale, including elastic and inelastic (plastic) deformation, crack nucleation, damage evolution and resulting failure from the macro-scale (top down) and/or from the nano-scale (bottom up). In order to accelerate the development of validated design and predictive performance models, a systematic series of experimental investigations have been carried out on various non-crystalline ceramics (glass), single crystal (sapphire) and polycrystalline ceramics (AlON). The Edge-on Impact (EOI) test coupled with a high-speed Cranz-Schardin film camera has been extensively used on a variety of monolithic and laminated glasses, AlON and crystallographically controlled sapphire single crystals to visualize and quantify stress wave, crack and damage propagation. A modified Kolsky bar technique instrumented with a high speed digital camera has been utilized in an unconfined and confined test sample mode to examine the dynamic deformation and failure of AlON undergoing uniaxial, high strain rate compression. Real time photography has clearly demonstrated the critical influence of defects and post mortem characterization of fragments resulting from these tests have revealed the influence of micro-deformational twining and cleavage down to the nano-scale. Finally, a brief summary of work using ultra-high-speed photography of the impact of conventional projectiles on glass and AlON will be presented. These experimental results will be absolutely critical to help evolve and validate existing models used in computer codes to simulate the impact performance of brittle materials.

The problems are characterized by the extent of the environmental system involved, dynamic and interdependent nature of stressors and their impacts, diversity of stakeholders, and integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations. IEM provides a science-based structure to develop and organize relevant knowledge and information and apply it to explain, explore, and predict the behavior of environmental systems in response to human and natural sources of stress. During the past several years a number of workshops were held that brought IEM practitioners together to share experiences and discuss future needs and directions. In this paper we organize and present the results of these discussions. IEM is presented as a landscape containing four interdependent elements: applications, science, technology, and community. The elements are described from the perspective of their role in the landscape, current practices, and challenges that must be addressed. Workshop participants envision a global scale IEM community that leverages modern technologies to streamline the movement of science-based knowledge from its sources in research, through its organization into databases and models, to its integration and application for problem solving purposes. Achieving this vision will require that the global community of IEM stakeholders transcend social, and organizational boundaries and pursue greater levels of collaboration. Among the highest priorities for community action are the development of standards for publishing IEM data and models in forms suitable for automated discovery, access, and integration; education of the next generation of environmental stakeholders, with a focus on transdisciplinary research, development, and decision making; and providing a web-based platform for community interactions (e.g., continuous virtual workshops).

The authors examine one cohort of the military and its members’ perception of their own ideology in relation to their civilian counterparts using a 2009 survey of cadets at the United States Military Academy. The authors ascertain cadet perceptions of (1) cadet ideological leanings on individual and aggregate levels, (2) the ideological leanings of the civilian population, and (3) the civilian population’s assessment of the military’s ideological leanings. The authors attempt to discern whether or not this military subpopulation perceives itself as different from the rest of society. The authors find that while members of the Army’s future officer corps perceive themselves as more conservative than their civilian peers and society writ large, as a group they hold rather moderate political views.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 93 EP - 101 SN - 07307268 AB - Various international and national regulations hold polluters liable for the cleanup of released hazardous substances and the restoration/rehabilitation of natural resources to preincident baseline conditions, a process often referred to as natural resource damage assessment and restoration (NRDAR). Here, we, the authors, describe how global climate change (GCC) will challenge each of the steps of NRDAR processes and offer eight recommendations to improve these processes in light of GCC. First, we call for a better understanding of the net effects of GCC and contaminants on natural resources. Second, we urge facilities and environmental managers to plan for GCC-related factors that are expected to increase the probability of contaminant releases. Third, we suggest re-evaluating definitions of baseline and reference conditions given that GCC will alter both their trajectories and variability. Fourth, we encourage long-term monitoring to improve the quantification of baseline conditions that will change as climate changes. This will enhance the accuracy of injury assessments, the effectiveness of restoration, and the detection of early warning signs that ecosystems are approaching tipping points. Fifth, in response to or anticipation of GCC, restoration projects may need to be conducted in areas distant from the site of injury or focused on functionally equivalent natural resources; thus, community involvement in NRDAR processes will be increasingly important. Sixth, we promote using NRDAR restoration projects as opportunities to mitigate GCC-related impacts. Seventh, we recommend adaptive management approaches to NRDAR processes and communication of successes and failures widely. Finally, we recommend focusing on managing the stressors that might be exacerbated by GCC, such as pollution and habitat loss, because there is a long history of successfully mitigating these stressors, which can be more easily managed on local scales than climate change. We believe that adoption of these recommendations will lead to a more efficacious NRDAR process, despite the challenges posed by climate change. Environ. Toxicol.

Many studies have shown that harder ceramics tend to display better ballistic performance. In addition, some research has suggested that a material's potential for inelastic deformation (or its 'quasi-plasticity' - a bulk property) may also play an important role in its resistance to penetration. Methods of quantifying the bulk plasticity of a ceramic material are, however, extremely limited. The current study continues an investigation into a recently proposed technique to (1) quantify bulk quasi-plasticity in SiC materials, and (2) use the 'plasticity' value along with a hardness value to predict the transition velocity of potential armor ceramics. The transition velocity values predicted by this approach generally show excellent agreement (within 5% in most cases) with experimentally determined velocities. In addition, the robustness of this predictive technique is demonstrated through the use of multiple operators and multiple hardness testing units.

Data for the numbers of diagnosed cases for the first documented occurrence of ADs during ambulatory visits while serving in the military were obtained from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database for all active duty service members and examined across branch of service and by gender. Results indicate that Anxiety Not Otherwise Specified (ANOS) was the most frequently diagnosed AD type in each of the 10 years between 2000 and 2009, with an average rate of 0.8 per 100 service members for first service occurrence, followed by PTSD at a rate of 0.5 out of every 100. Starting in 2002, the yearly first occurrence rates of ANOS and PTSD were significantly higher (p <0.001) compared to each proceeding year, with the same pattern present among males and females separately. The majority of first occurrence AD diagnoses were diagnosed in the Army (47% of Anxiety NOS and 60% of PTSD cases) compared to the other service branches (i.e., Navy, Air Force, and Marines).

Enhancement of crosslink density by effective matrix modification through nanoparticle incorporation is the most prominent way to improve mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of FRP composites. In this study, at first, 0.1–0.4wt.% amino-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (NH2-MWCNTs) were incorporated in SC-15 epoxy system and the variation in crosslink density was investigated using rubber elasticity theory. Subsequently, the effect of these MWCNTs on interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of e-glass/epoxy composites was studied. Result obtained from the tests showed a linearly increasing trend in crosslink density and ILSS properties from 0 to 0.3wt.% MWCNTs loading. Better dispersion of MWCNTs facilitated more crosslinking sites, whereas, the three-way reaction between amine functional groups of MWCNTs with epoxide groups of resin and epoxy silanes of fiber surfaces improved the crosslinking and thereby ILSS properties of e-glass/epoxy composites.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 62 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 69 EP - 79 SN - 00189545 AB - This is the second paper in a series of two that describe our research in intelligent energy management in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). In the first paper, we presented the machine-learning framework ML_EMO_HEV, which was developed for learning the knowledge about energy optimization in an HEV. The framework consists of machine-learning algorithms for predicting driving environments and generating the optimal power split of the HEV system for a given driving environment. In this paper, we present the following three online intelligent energy controllers: 1) IEC_HEV_SISE; 2) IEC_HEV_MISE ; and 3) IEC_HEV_MIME. All three online intelligent energy controllers were trained within the machine-learning framework ML_EMO_HEV to generate the best combination of engine power and battery power in real time such that the total fuel consumption over the whole driving cycle is minimized while still meeting the driver's demand and the system constraints, including engine, motor, battery, and generator operation limits. The three online controllers were integrated into the Ford Escape hybrid vehicle model for online performance evaluation. Based on their performances on ten test drive cycles provided by the Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit library, we can conclude that the roadway type and traffic congestion level specific machine learning of optimal energy management is effective for in-vehicle energy control. The best controller, IEC_HEV_MISE, trained with the optimal power split generated by the DP optimization algorithm with multiple initial SOC points and single ending point, can provide fuel savings ranging from 5% to 19%. Together, these two papers cover the innovative technologies for modeling power flow, mathematical background of optimization in energy management, and machine-learning algorithms for generating intelligent energy controllers for quasioptimal energy flow in a power-split HEV.

There have been spikes of interest, energy, and results in their use over the years. However, there is little sustained use of computers as they could be used to permit students to learn and do mathematics. To be effective computers need to be embedded in the learning process. They need to be ubiquitous and part of every student's learning kit. Indeed, they should be a first tool of choice for most of what students do with mathematics; that is, plotting, algebraic manipulation, optimization, playing “what if” games, data analysis, etc. I outline a number of scenarios and experiences to show just how pervasive computer use can and should be. I put computer use in context with its most important applications for teaching mathematics—namely, modeling and inquiry or problem-based learning.

The data obtained indicate that: (1) the virucidal effect of natural sunlight can be mimicked adequately by an artificial light source with similar spectral characteristics in the UVB, (2) viral sensitivity to UVB or to solar radiation can be correlated with experimental data previously obtained with UVC, (3) the correlation factor between virus inactivation by solar radiation (measured at 300 ± 5 nm) and by UVC (254 nm) is between 33 and 60, and (4) the sensitivity of viruses either dry on glass surfaces or in liquid suspension is similar when in the presence of similar amounts of cellular debris and growth media. The findings reported in this study should assist in estimating the threat posed by the persistence of virus during epidemics or after an accidental or intentional release.

JO - Photochemistry & Photobiology JF - Photochemistry & Photobiology Y1 - 2013/01// VL - 89 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 127 EP - 131 SN - 00318655 AB - A 2010 study exposed Staphylococcus aureus to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thermal heating from pulsed xenon flash lamps. The results suggested that disinfection could be caused not only by photochemical changes from UV radiation, but also by photophysical stress damage caused by the disturbance from incoming pulses. The study called for more research in this area. The recent advances in light-emitting diode (LED) technology include the development of LEDs that emit in narrow bands in the ultraviolet-C (UV-C) range (100-280 nm), which is highly effective for UV disinfection of organisms. Further, LEDs would use less power, and allow more flexibility than other sources of UV energy in that the user may select various pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs), pulse irradiances, pulse widths, duty cycles and types of waveform output ( e.g. square waves, sine waves, triangular waves, etc.). Our study exposed Escherichia coli samples to square pulses of 272 nm radiation at various PRFs and duty cycles. A statistically significant correlation was found between E. coli's disinfection sensitivity and these parameters. Although our sample size was small, these results show promise and are worthy of further investigation. Comparisons are also made with pulsed disinfection by LEDs emitting at 365 nm, and pulsed disinfection by xenon flash lamps.

To improve minor actinide transmutation, a hybrid fuel management scheme is utilized involving initially moderated assemblies on the core periphery followed by a second period of irradiation in a fast flux with the moderating rods removed. A multi-tiered recycling strategy was developed to increase plutonium utilization in the SCHIBR model through the recycle of the driver fuel. An equilibrium fuel cycle was evaluated with the computer code ERANOS to determine the improvements in fuel utilization, reduction in high level waste, and safety of the SCHIBR design. Fuel depletion studies were conducted to determine the composition of input and output streams in order to develop reactor recipes for use in the fuel cycle simulation code, VISION. The once-through SCHIBR model reduces the radiotoxicity of high level waste by 66% of the once-through LWR model after 300 years in storage. The multi-tiered recycling strategy offers improvements over the previous once-through SCHIBR model by reducing the radiotoxicity by 86% after 300 years in storage.

The model- canopy layouts were the same as cross canopies with the adjacent sides completely attached together. All models had a base dimension of 0.2 m, and aspect ratios ranged from 0.2 to 1.2. The models did not have a central vent or any other geometric porosity. The data show the inflated geometry of the canopy differs from the constructed geometry with the smallest change occurring at a constructed aspect of 0.8 and the variation becomes larger for increasing or decreasing constructed aspect ratios. The data also indicate the aerodynamic drag coefficient, based on the projected area, has a maximum value of approximately one for the constructed aspect ratio of 0.3 corresponding to an inflated aspect ratio of 0.53. The drag coefficient is less for smaller and larger aspect-ratio models. If scaled by the canopy surface area drag of the rectangular parallelepiped canopies is lower than flat circular canopy designs. These findings are consistent with the past findings on other flexible parachute canopies and rigid bluff bodies.

Both integral flap (the flap is an integral part of the blade such that there are no physical gaps at the flap ends) and discrete flap (the flap is a separate entity with physical gaps in the span and chord directions) are examined on an UH-60A rotor at high-speed forward-flight conditions. A novel grid deformation scheme based on the Delaunay graph mapping is developed and implemented to allow the computational fluid dynamics modeling of the gaps with minimal distortion of mesh around the flap gap regions. This method offers an alternative to the traditional approach of modeling such configurations using overset meshes. The simulation results show that the effectiveness of the flap is minimally affected with span gaps; the penalty on rotor performance is of the order of 1% compared to the integral flap. On the other hand, the chord gaps significantly degrade the benefits of active flap on rotor performance due to the flow penetration between the upper and lower surfaces of the flap.

By using large time-bandwidth products and systematically varying the phase scaling factor $\kappa$, results from the digital matched filter output provide evidence that the LFM noise waveform 1) has range-Doppler resolution similar to conventional chirp waveforms and 2) has a low probability of intercept (LPI) similar to random noise waveforms. We acquire the results using a computer-based simulation and verify the location of target peaks using the chirp waveform output for both stationary and moving target cases.

For floating-point applications, these FPGA-based processors must satisfy a variety of heuristics and rules of thumb to achieve a speedup compared with their software counterparts. By way of a simple sparse matrix Jacobi iterative solver, this paper illustrates some of the issues associated with mapping floating-point kernels onto HPRCs. The Jacobi method was chosen based on heuristics developed from earlier research. Furthermore, Jacobi is relatively easy to understand, yet is complex enough to illustrate the mapping issues. This paper is not trying to demonstrate the speedup of a particular application nor is it suggesting that Jacobi is the best way to solve equations. The results demonstrate a nearly threefold wall clock runtime speedup when compared with a software implementation. A formal analysis shows that these results are reasonable. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the challenging floating-point mapping process while simultaneously showing that such mappings can result in significant speedups. The ideas revealed by research such as this have already been and should continue to be used to facilitate a more automated mapping process.

Our goal is to develop a comprehensive detection technology that can be fielded and successfully used by nonexperts, while simultaneously being sufficiently robust as to be effective. Our correlation detection algorithm relies on a library of model signals that are generated using an analytical model of a thin subsurface wire in a homogeneous half-space. The wire is illuminated using an active transmitter source (12, 20, or 200 kHz), and its response is sensed using a man-portable electromagnetic gradiometer (EMG) system. The performance of the detector is assessed using synthetic data and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis as well as experimental data collected during a field test. Preliminary ROC results indicate that at sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, the detector can achieve detection probabilities greater than 0.9 with corresponding false alarm rates of less than one every 1000 m. Results from the field tests revealed that the responses from the EMG can be used to detect and localize (to within 0.5 m in the horizontal) a wire target down to a depth of at least 7 m. We believe the EMG system and correlation detector combine to form a promising technology for detecting tunnel infrastructure that can be used by experts and, more importantly, nonexperts as well.

Fusing concurrent visible and infrared imageries may further improve the overall detection and tracking performance of a video surveillance system. We performed image fusion using 13 pixel-based image fusion algorithms and examined their effects on the detection and tracking performance of a given target tracker. We identified five fusion methods that produced significantly better performance, three of which also managed to achieve that with a relatively high efficiency.

To evaluate the use of ocular imaging to enhance management and diagnosis of war-related anterior segment ocular injuries. Methods. This study was a prospective observational case series from an ongoing IRB-approved combat ocular trauma tracking study. Subjects with anterior segment ocular injury were imaged, when possible, using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), confocal microscopy (CM), and slit lamp biomicroscopy. Results. Images captured from participants with combat ocular trauma on different systems provided comprehensive and alternate views of anterior segment injury to investigators. Conclusion. In combat-related trauma of the anterior segment, adjunct image acquisition enhances slit lamp examination and enables real time In vivo observation of the cornea facilitating injury characterization, progression, and management.

For some configurations, these moments may lead to catastrophic flight instabilities. This paper explores how payload geometry, fluid spin-up rate, and the magnitude of launch perturbations affect the flight trajectories of projectiles with a liquid payload, including projectile instability. A dynamic simulation model is used in which a projectile rigid-body dynamics representation incorporates liquid moments generated from linearized Navier-Stokes predictions. A novel feature of this simulation is its use of linear filtering within the model, which determines fast- and slow-mode angle-of-attack contributions at each time step to be used in computation of liquid moments. Example cases and Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate how design factors and launch perturbations affect the projectile's tendency to exhibit flight instability. The paper concludes with a summary of advantageous design characteristics that are likely to mitigate the effects of destabilizing liquid moments.

Heavy metal barium nitrate oxidizer and strontium nitrate oxidizer were replaced with sodium nitrate to adequately address environmental concerns while providing the brightest possible illuminant. The new formulations further address environmental concerns and mitigate single-point-of-failure through the replacement of polyester-based Laminac 4116/Lupersol binder system with the epoxy-based Epon 813/Versamid 140 binder system. The new formulations were found to burn longer and brighter than the control with a low sensitivity to various ignition stimuli.

Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America's prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America's counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

To determine if the MMs are related to specific meteorite groups, we analyzed their relict olivines and low-Ca pyroxenes and compared them with olivines and pyroxenes we analyzed in various meteorites: an enstatite chondrite (EH3), a suite of carbonaceous chondrites (CM2, CR2, CV3.2, CO3.0, and CO3.2), an ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite (Tagish Lake), various unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (H3.2, L3.7, LL3.0, LL3.2, LL3.3), and a Rumuruti chondrite (R3.5/5 breccia). Mg-rich olivines are the most common relict mineral in the MMs studied (42%), followed by Fe-rich olivines (16%), Mg-rich low-Ca pyroxenes (15%), and MMs containing both Mg-rich olivine and low-Ca pyroxene (13%). If one corrects for the effects of atmospheric heating on the proportion of olivines and pyroxenes, then 59% of MMs are related to carbonaceous chondrites, 22% to ordinary chondrites (mostly unequilibrated, UOCs), and 19% to a high-Mn group. Results of textural observations suggest that four MMs resemble chondrules from CO3 carbonaceous chondrites, and one is a shock-melted H chondrite. MMs from the high-Mn group appear to have crystallized from a melt and might be fragments of chondrule-like objects similar to those found in comet 81P/Wild 2.

Common components found in powder, such as ethyl centralite, methyl centralite, dibutyl phthalate, and dimethyl phthalate, are detected under atmospheric conditions without additional sample preparation. LEMS analysis of the powders revealed several new mass spectral features that have not been identified previously. Offline principal component analysis and discrimination of the LEMS mass spectral measurements resulted in perfect classification of the smokeless powder with respect to manufacturer.

The arm is often bent at the elbow, providing a surface somewhat similar to a dihedral. This is distinct from the more planar surfaces of the body which allows us to isolate the signals of the arm (and knee). The dihedral produces a double bounce that can be seen in polarimetric radar data bymeasuring the phase difference between HH and VV. This measurement can then be used to determine whether the subject is unloaded.

JO - Journal of Amino Acids JF - Journal of Amino Acids Y1 - 2013/01// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 20900112 AB - Because taurine alleviates ethanol- (EtOH-) induced lipid peroxidation and liver damage in rats, we asked whether exogenous taurine could alleviate EtOH-induced oxidative stress in chick embryos. Exogenous EtOH (1.5 mmol/Kg egg or 3 mmol/Kg egg), taurine (4 μmol/Kg egg), or EtOH and taurine (1.5 mmol EtOH and 4 μ mol taurine/Kg egg or 3 mmol EtOH and 4 μ mol taurine/Kg egg) were injected into fertile chicken eggs during the first three days of embryonic development (E0-2). At 11 days of development (midembryogenesis), serum taurine levels and brain caspase-3 activities, homocysteine (HoCys) levels, reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, membrane fatty acid composition, and lipid hydroperoxide (LPO) levels were measured. Early embryonic EtOH exposure caused increased brain apoptosis rates (caspase-3 activities); increased brain HoCys levels; increased oxidative-stress, as measured by decreased brain GSH levels; decreased brain long-chain polyunsaturated levels; and increased brain LPO levels. Although taurine is reported to be an antioxidant, exogenous taurine was embryopathic and caused increased apoptosis rates (caspase-3 activities); increased brain HoCys levels; increased oxidative-stress (decreased brain GSH levels); decreased brain long-chain polyunsaturated levels; and increased brain LPO levels. Combined EtOH and taurine treatments also caused increased apoptosis rates and oxidative stress.

The Ankudinov empirical squat prediction formula has been used in the CHL ship simulator and was recently updated. The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (formerly The Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses, PIANC) has recommended several empirical and physics-based formulas for the prediction of ship squat. Some of the most widely used formulas include those of Barrass, Eryuzlu, Huuska, ICORELS, Romisch, Tuck, and Yoshimura. The purpose of this article is to compare BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions with measured DGPS squat data from the Panama Canal for four ships. These comparisons demonstrate that the BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions fall within the range of squat measurements and can be used with confidence in deep draft channel design.

Flexural rigidity (storage modulus) and loss factor (damping) were measured with a dynamic mechanical analyzer in an oscillatory three-point bending mode. It was found that the functionally graded VACNT-Si exhibited significantly higher damping without sacrificing flexural rigidity. A Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used for determining the system response under high-strain rate compressive loading. Combination of a soft and flexible VACNT forest layer over the hard silicon substrate presented novel challenges for SHPB testing. It was observed that VACNT-Si specimens showed a large increase in the specific energy absorption over a pure Si wafer.

Saliva was collected, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) recorded from 38 Army nurses (74% female; mean age 28.5 years [SD=6.5]) before, during, and after participation in the Combat Casualty Stress Scenario (CCSS). Saliva was assayed for cortisol and alpha-amylase (sAA). The CCSS simulates emergency combat rescue, employing two simulated combat casualties, aversive body odors, recorded battlefield sounds, and smoke in a low light environment. Participants locate and conduct preliminary assessments of the simulated patients, triage based on injury severity, initiate treatment, and coordinate medical evacuation by radio. Results revealed large magnitude increases in cortisol, sAA, HR, systolic BP and diastolic BP in response to the CCSS, followed by recovery to baseline levels 30min after the task for all physiological parameters except cortisol. Age, gender, perceived difficulty of the CCSS, and previous nursing experience were associated with individual differences in the magnitude of the physiological responses. Lower levels of performance related to triage and treatment were associated with higher levels of reactivity and slower recovery for some of the physiological measures. The findings raise important questions regarding the utility of integrating measures of the psychobiology of the stress response into training programs designed to prepare first responders to handle highly complex and chaotic rescue situations.

Using thousands of observations from avalanche control work at Mammoth Mountain, CA, USA, a large coastal ski area, I analyzed important predictors of avalanche activity. New (24h) precipitation increased avalanche activity, while changing temperatures and different wind patterns had no effect. If slopes remained undisturbed for one day after snowfall, the number and size of avalanches as well as the explosive yield (avalanches per shot) were all significantly reduced. I also examined a smaller dataset of Extended Column Test (ECT) results and their relation to avalanche activity. ECT propagation was a powerful predictor; days with ECTs that propagated had significantly more avalanches and larger sizes. Days with propagating ECTs also had significantly greater new snow amounts, with a threshold value of 0.29m of new snow, very close to the 0.31m threshold from Atwater''s 10 factors. That new precipitation above a threshold causes greater avalanche activity is not a new finding; the new finding is that ECT propagation (versus non-propagation) also has a similar new snow threshold. Thus, I suggest that ECT propagation is an important tool to predict explosively-triggered avalanches in storm snow.

The Neurocognition Deployment Health Study addresses several gaps in the deployment health literature, including lack of baseline health data, reliance on subjective measures of exposure and health variables, prolonged intervals between redeployment and health assessments, and lack of a uniform case definition. The Neurocognition Deployment Health Study uses a prospective cohort design to assess neuropsychological outcomes associated with Iraq deployment. Methods incorporate administration of performance-based neuropsychological measures to Army soldiers before and after Iraq deployment and to nondeployed Army Soldiers assessed during comparable periods of garrison duty. Findings should have the potential to delineate neuropsychological outcomes related to combat theater deployment and to identify potential risk and protective factors related to health outcomes.

Commanders provided anonymous professional information about themselves and their assigned physicians and evaluated their physicians in 22 areas of medical and military competence using a linear scoring method from 2 (indicating poor) to 6 (indicating outstanding). Main effects and interaction effects were analyzed using multiple analysis of variance. The commanders' overall confidence in their physicians was 5.4, suggesting general satisfaction. Prior-service physicians were rated higher on several factors if the commander had combat experience. Nonprior-service physicians were rated the same on nearly all variables regardless of the commander's experience. Commanders with combat experience rated their assigned physicians significantly higher than did commanders without combat experience. Despite high ratings, several candid remarks suggest there is still room for improvement.

The responses of water quality, such as dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and water clarity, to nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads are analyzed. From the response surface, a water quality response is estimated under loading conditions beyond that of a limited set of scenarios. Response surfaces may be used to determine the possible universe of nutrient and sediment load reductions needed to obtain a particular water quality standard and to examine the tradeoffs among nutrient and sediment load reductions that achieve the same water quality objective.

To expand the loading rate into the dynamic region, the dynamic equilibrium over the entire specimen needs to be satisfied to interpret the crack tip loading state with the far-field loading conditions. Furthermore, to determine the loading-rate effects, the loading rate at the crack tip should be nearly constant during an experiment. A new four-point bending experimental technique, based on a split Hopkinson pressure bar, has been developed to determine the dynamic fracture toughness of ceramics at high rates under valid conditions, which is demonstrated through the determination of the dynamic fracture toughness as a function of loading rate for a silicon carbide (SiC–N).

SN - 00333158 AB - The rate and pattern of lever pressing were studied in 18 rats during 24-h sessions in which responding resulted in intravenous infusions of nicotine. There were four indications of the positive reinforcing effect of nicotine: (1) a greater number of lever presses when nicotine was response-contingent compared to when saline was available; (2) a greater number of responses on the lever resulting in an infusion of nicotine than on the control lever; (3) systematic decreases in the number of contingent nicotine infusions when nicotine was delivered noncontingently; and (4) systematic changes in the frequency of lever pressing as a function of dose. Under a fixed ratio 1 (FR 1) schedule, the number of infusions first increased and then decreased as the dose of nicotine was decreased (64, 32, 16, and 8 μg/kg infusion) and nicotine intake (mg/kg every 24 h) was directly related to the infusion dose. As the FR size was increased from 1 to 6, the number of lever presses increased and the number of infusions (32 μg/kg) remained stable. At FR values greater than 6, both the number of lever presses and infusions decreased. Presession injections of mecamylamine (0.75, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) decreased the number of infusions in a dose-related manner. Presession injections of hexamethonium (1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) or naloxone (0.75, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) did not alter the within- or between-session patterns of nicotine self-administration. Under the conditions of the present experiment, nicotine served as an effective reinforcer and the behavior was shown to be sensitive to both FR size and infusion dose. In addition, the results suggest that nicotine self-administration involves central nicotinic receptors and that opioid receptor antagonism has no effect on nicotine's reinforcing effects in rats.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 153 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - The current studies estimated effective (miosis) concentrations of the nerve agents' sarin (GB) and cyclosarin (GF) as a function of exposure duration in the Gottingen minipig and determined dependency of the median effective dosage (ECT50) over time. Male and female Gottingen minipigs were exposed to various concentrations of vapor GB or GF for 10, 60, or 180 min. Infrared images of the pig's pupil before, during, and after nerve agent exposure were captured digitally and pupil area was quantified. An animal was classified “positive” for miosis if there was a 50% reduction in pupil area (as compared to baseline) at any time during or after the GB or GF exposure. Maximum likelihood estimation was used on the resulting quantal data to calculate ECT50 (miosis) values, with approximate 95% confidence intervals, for each of the six gender–exposure duration groups. As a group, male minipigs were significantly more sensitive to the pupil constricting effects of GF than were female minipigs. In male minipigs, GF is approximately equipotent to GB for 60-min exposures and more potent for 10- and 180-min exposures. In the female minipig GF is slightly more potent than GB for 10-min exposures but then progressively becomes less potent over the 60- and 180-min durations of exposure. The values of the toxic load exponents were essentially independent of the model fits used: 1.32 ± 0.18 for GB exposures and 1.60 ± 0.22 for GF exposures. Since neither of these intervals overlaps 1, Haber's rule is not an appropriate time-dependence model for these data sets.

A purposive sample of research participants (N = 131) from two military treatment facilities assigned to Great Plains Regional Medical Command responded to an electronic Readiness Estimate and Deployability Index |READI). The READl measures self-reported competencies in six dimensions of nursing readiness. Descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. Although the research surveyed three levels of nursing skills (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing assistant), the study results were noted to be quite parallel across the groups. Significant differences were noted throughout the six dimensions of the READI and between the two military treatment facilities in the dimensions of operational nursing competencies and personal and psychological readiness. Findings support the need for a structured core competency tool to provide succinct focused training to ensure deployment readiness.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/02// VL - 171 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 117 EP - 121 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: The Department of Defense Hearing Conservation Program requires that a reference audiogram be performed at initial entry training (IET). before noise exposure. In the Army, only Fort Sill, home of the field artillery, and Fort Benning. home of the infantry, are in compliance. All military applicants receive a screening audiogram at a military entrance processing station (MEPS) to qualify for service. This audiogram does not meet the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System-Hearing Conservation (DOEHRS-HC) standard. Nevertheless, it has been proposed that the MEPS screen he used as the reference because of limited resources and time during IET medical in-processing. Methods: A total of 11,816 individual reference audiograms performed at Fort Sill 95th Adjutant General Recruit Reception Center in 2000 were identified in the DOEHRS-HC database. Results of the MEPS screening audiograms were found for 11.311 (96%) of these individuals. The two audiograms were compared by frequency and ear and by using the two Department of Defense criteria for threshold shift. Results: A total of 14.49% (95% confidence interval. 14.48-14.50%) of audiograms using the three-frequency average difference and 23.19% (95% confidence interval. 23.18-23.20%) using the four-frequency difference in either ear demonstrated a threshold shift. The mean difference in intensity between the two audiograms ranged from 5 to 12 dB and varied by frequency and ear. with the greatest differences being seen at 500 and 6.000 kHz and in the left ear. compared with the right ear. The mean threshold level was higher for each frequency in the DOEHRS-HC audiogram. compared with the MEPS audiogram. Conclusions; Approximately 15% of soldiers at Fort Sill in 2000 showed a clinically significant threshold difference between their MEPS screening and the DOEHRS-HC baseline audiogram. Methodological variations in testing and interval noise-induced hearing loss could account for these differences. The results do not support the use of the MEPS screening audiogram as the reference audiogram. Compliance with the Hearing Conservation Program in the Army would require either improving MEPS testing to DOEHRS-HC standards or performing baseline audiograms at all five IET sites.

It was hypothesized that military hardiness would moderate the effects of deployment stressors on soldier health. In a survey study of 629 U.S. soldiers, deployment stressors, military hardiness, and psychological and physical health were assessed during a peacekeeping deployment. Health was measured again after deployment. Results of moderated regression analyses partially supported the hypotheses: military hardiness moderated the impact of deployment stressors on depression after deployment, after controlling for depression during deployment. Implications for training military hardiness and applications to other occupational settings are discussed.

The cause of the heaving was identified as sulfate attack on recycled concrete used as fill and base course below the buildings and pavements. This recycled concrete came from sulfate-resistant airfield Portland concrete pavement that had existed for decades at Holloman AFB without distress. However, severe sulfate exposure conditions, ready availability of water, the more permeable nature of the crushed recycled concrete, less common thaumasite attack, possible soil contamination as a secondary source of alumina, or some combination of these factors allowed sulfate attack to develop in the recycled material even though it had not in the original concrete pavement.

Treatment in both batch reactor and continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was investigated. RDX reactivity was strongly dependent on the reaction pH investigated (11–13). The batch system achieved pseudo-first-order RDX reaction rates in the range of (0.8–27.7)×10-3 min-1, corresponding to half-life periods of 17.9 to 0.5 h, respectively. In the CSTR system operated at the initial RDX concentration of 4.5×10-3 mM, 99% RDX removal was achieved with the hydraulic retention time of 2 days and the reaction pH of 11.9. Formate and nitrite were produced as the major hydrolysates in the CSTR system, indicating a simultaneous reaction mechanism involving RDX ring cleavage and elimination of the ring nitrogen. The net OH- demand used only for RDX removal in the CSTR was found to be 1.5, 390, and 130 MOH-/MRDXremoved at pH values of 11.9, 11.5, and 11.0, respectively. A conceptual cost analysis indicated that the expense of alkaline treatment may be comparable to the expense of granular activated carbon treatment for long treatment periods (30 years or more), due to the potentially lower annual operational cost of alkali treatment.

By June 1970, the army had nearly eliminated H&I. The reasons for this shift inform the ongoing debate over American strategy during the Vietnam War. Although both General William C. Westmoreland and his successor, General Creighton W. Abrams, emphasized that poorly applied firepower could cause collateral damage, neither leader viewed H&I as inherently counterproductive. Indeed, both leaders responded to budgetary pressures, rather than concern over civilian casualties, when reducing H&I. Neither reduced H&I fire as part of a radical shift in strategy.

Additionally, tests were conducted to identify GPR’s repeatability on dry versus wet pavements. Finally, an attempt was made to determine the number of actual field cores necessary to accurately postprocess radar data into layer thickness data. At this time, it appears that four calibration cores would be the optimum number of cores that would minimize errors.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 171 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 54 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Recruits arriving for basic combat training (BCT) between October 1999 and May 2004 were administered an entry-level physical fitness test at the reception station. If they failed the test, then they entered the Fitness Assessment Program (FAP), where they physically trained until they passed the test and subsequently entered BCT, The effectiveness of the FAP was evaluated by examining fitness, injury, and training outcomes. Recruits who failed the test, trained in the FAP, and entered BCT after passing the test were designated the preconditioning (PC) group (64 men and 94 women). Recruits who failed the test but were allowed to enter BCT without going into the FAP were called the no preconditioning (NPC) group (32 men and 73 women). Recruits who passed the test and directly entered BCT were designated the no need of preconditioning (NNPC) group (1.078 men and 731 women). Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and training outcomes were obtained from a company-level database, and injured recruits were identified from cases documented in medical records. The proportions of NPC. PC. and NNPC recruits who completed the 9-week BCT cycle were 59%. 83%. and 87% for men (p < 0.01) and 52%. 69%. and 78% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Because of attrition, only 63% of the NPC group took the week 7 APFT, compared with 84% and 86% of the PC and NNPC groups, respectively. The proportions of NPC. PC. and NNPC recruits who passed the final APFT after all retakes were 88%. 92%. and 98% for men (p < 0.01) and 89%. 92%, and 97% for women (p < 0.01), respectively. Compared with NNPC men. injury risk was 1.5 (95% confidence interval. 1.0-2.2) and 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-3.1) times higher for PC and NPC men, respectively. Compared with NNPC women, injury risk was 1.2 (95% confidence interval. 0.9-1.6) and 1.5 (95% confidence interval. 1.1-2.1) times higher for PC and NPC women, respectively. This program evaluation showed that low-fit recruits who preconditioned before BCT had reduced attrition and tended to have lower injury risk, compared with recruits of similar low fitness who did not precondition.

There is a paucity of evidence supporting the use of many of these interventions. The purpose of this study was to present data on the Shin Saver orthosis as a treatment for shin splints in an active duty military population and to review current condition management. Twenty-five subjects diagnosed with shin splints by a U.S. Army physical therapist were randomly assigned to a shin orthosis treatment group or a control group. There was no significant difference between treatment and control groups in days to finish a 0.5- mile run pain free. Visual analog scales for pain at intake versus after 1 week of relative rest revealed no significant improvement in symptoms in either group. Current best-practice guidelines support a treatment program of rest, cryotherapy, and a graduated walk-to-run program.

Subjects were 755 males (mean age = 18.7 years) entering the United States Military Academy. A questionnaire assessed exercise frequency and milk, caffeine, and alcohol consumption and tobacco use. Academy staff measured height, weight, and fitness. Calcaneal BMD was measured by peripheral dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (pDXA). Peripheral-quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used to measure tibial mineral content, circumference and cortical thickness. Spine and hip BMD were measured by DXA in a subset (n = 159). Mean BMD at all sites was approximately one standard deviation above young normal (p < 0.05). African Americans had significantly higher hip, spine and heel BMD and greater tibial mineral content and cortical thickness than Caucasians and Asians. In Caucasians (n = 653), weight was a significant determinant of BMD at every skeletal site. Prior exercise levels and milk intake positively related to bone density and size, while caffeine had a negative impact. There was an apparent interaction between milk and exercise in BMD at the heel, spine, hip and tibial mineral content and cortical thickness. Our data confirm the importance of race, body size, milk intake and duration of weekly exercise as determinants of BMD and bone size.

A novel experimental technique based on a split Hopkinson pressure bar was used to conduct the high strain-rate experiments. The ceramic specimen was loaded by two consecutive stress pulses to determine the responses of the intact and damaged specimen under valid testing conditions. The results show that, once critically damaged, the compressive response of the damaged ceramic was insensitive to increasing strain rates and further damage but varied with increasing lateral confinement. Under 104-MPa confinement and damaged to three different levels, the flow stress remained at 1 GPa at strain rates of 600–1600 s−1. The flow stress reduced to 500 and 350 MPa under confinement of 56 and 26 MPa, respectively.

By a generalization of Manakov's well-known formulas for the polarization shift of interacting vector solitons, it is shown that the multisoliton interaction process is equivalent to a sequence pairwise interactions and, moreover, the net result of the interaction is independent of the order in which such collisions occur. Further, the order-invariance is shown to be related to the fact that the map that determines the interaction of two such solitons satisfies the Yang–Baxter relation. The associated matrix factorization problem is discussed in detail and the notion of fundamental and composite solitons is elucidated. Moreover, it is shown that, in analogy with the continuous case, collisions of fundamental solitons can be described by explicit fractional linear transformations of a complex-valued scalar polarization state. Because the parameters controlling the energy switching between the two components exhibit nontrivial information transformation, they can, in principle, be used to implement logic operations.

In this work, we have comprehensively collected the currently available experimental data for magnesium metal-matrix nanocomposites (Mg MMNCs) and performed analyses to determine the contribution of any Orowan-type strengthening, which is thought to be a primary mechanism in simultaneously improving both strength and ductility. Although studies are numerous, it was found that most of the individual reports in the literature do not provide sufficient data points to make quantitative conclusion on which mechanisms may be active. Of those that do, the analyses show that, in most cases, the enhanced strength can be accounted for by grain refinement and/or dislocation production through mechanical post-processing, such as hot-rolling, with little indication of Orowan strengthening. A comparison with hot-rolled Mg AZ31 alloy specimens demonstrates that the degree of grain refinement in Mg MMNCs is comparable to that achieved by traditional processing routes. In Mg MMNCs with higher yield strength than the AZ31 specimens of comparable grain size, the MMNC typically demonstrated significantly lower ductility indicating that yield strength improvements by mechanical post-processing have resulted in the expected decrease in ductility that accompanies increased dislocation density.

For chains containing an equivalent number of entanglements, we compare the chain characteristics of the KG and mSRP polymer models by determining the ratios of the entanglement lengths $ N_{\rm e}^{{\rm KG}} /N_{\rm e}^{{\rm mSRP}} $, the required total number of particles to capture comparable entanglement phenomena $ N_{{\rm tot}}^{{\rm KG}} /N_{{\rm tot}}^{{\rm mSRP}} $, and the time scaling ratios τmSRP/ τKG. Our findings show that systems using the mSRP polymer model require half the number of particles and relax four times faster compared to the KG polymer model. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

No direct correlation was found between the membrane surface topography and local ion conductance. Smaller and larger conducting areas associated with ion channels and ionic clusters were identified in images of membrane surface ion conductance. Both the size of ion channels and the density of ionic clusters tended to increase significantly at higher relative humidity (RH) conditions. The ionic conductance of the AEM was one order of magnitude lower than its proton-exchange counterpart (Nafion®) at 100% relative humidity. This decrease may be due to the rate-limiting properties of the studied AEM, such as lower mobility of anions (HCO3− and OH−), smaller size of ionic channels, lower density of ionic clusters, and lower capability for water uptake as compared to Nafion® 212. Nevertheless, the ionic conductance was found to be higher on the AEM when the RH was lower than 45%. These results have direct implications for the application of the AEM in fuel cells without humidification systems.

Silyl protection is shown to be critical for the oxidative stability of catecholic moieties during synthesis and processing, which allows functionalized polysiloxane derivatives to be fabricated into 3D microstructures as well as 2D patterned surfaces. Deprotection gives stable catechol surfaces whose adhesion to a variety of oxide surfaces can be precisely tuned by the level of catechol incorporation. The advantage of silyl protection for catechol-functionalized polysiloxanes is demonstrated and represents a promising and versatile new platform for underwater surface treatments.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/12/04/ VL - 46 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 12814 EP - 12822 SN - 0013936X AB - Sorption site selectivity and mechanism in natural organic matter (NOM) were addressed spectroscopically by the sorption of paramagnetic nitroxyl compounds (spin probes) of different polarity, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) and HTEMPO (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). The sorbents were Pahokee peat, Beulah-Zap lignite, and a polystyrene–poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PS-PVME) polymer blend representing the mixed aliphatic–aromatic, polar–nonpolar character of NOM. Nuclear-electron spin interaction serves as an efficient relaxation pathway, resulting in attenuation of the 13C–CP/TOSS NMR signal for 13C nuclei in proximity to the N–O· group (r–6 dependence). In the natural solids the spin probes sorbed more specifically (greater isotherm nonlinearity) and had lower rotational mobility (broader electron paramagnetic resonance signals) than in PS-PVME. Titration with spin probe indicated almost no selectivity for the different carbon functional groups of PS-PVME, and little to no selectivity for the different carbon moieties of Pahokee and Beulah, including aromatic, alkyl, O-alkyl, di-O-alkyl, and O-methyl. In any case, sorption site selectivity of spin probes to NOM was always weaker than partition selectivity found in model solvent–water (toluene, hexadecane, anisole, octanol) and cellulose–water systems. The results indicate little or no preferential sorption in NOM based on functional group chemistry or putative microdomain character, but rather are consistent with the filling of pores whose walls have an average chemical environment reflecting the bulk chemical composition of the solid. This work demonstrates for the first time the use of paramagnetic probes to study sorption specificity.

Two plates, 4” × 4” × 1” thick, from the same manufacturing lot, identified as samples A and B, were subjected to nominally identical high velocity impacts on the 4” × 4” face under which sample B performed more poorly than A. The exposed microstructural defects on fragments of the two samples were carefully characterized using scanning electron and optical microscopy. Two types of inclusion defects were identified: carbonaceous and aluminum-iron-oxide phases. While only small inclusions were found on polished cross sections, the rubble fracture surfaces were found to contain disproportionate numbers of large inclusions, strongly suggesting an influence on crack formation. A statistical function derived previously by Jayatilaka and Trustrum was successfully used to describe the defect populations. Sample A had more numerous, but smaller inclusions on its fragments than sample B. The exponent (n) of the distribution function can be related to the Weibull modulus (m) used to describe the strength variation of brittle materials by the relation m = 2n, a relationship that may be useful in efforts to represent defect distributions in micromechanical models. The data suggests that sample B has a higher probability of having a large inclusion on its fragments than sample A, which had more numerous smaller inclusions. Therefore, sample B would have a greater likelihood of crack nucleation and resulting failure at high strain rates from the distribution of large defects. The Pareto Principle, which suggests that 20% of the large inclusions in the tail of the distribution account for 80% of the total performance may be applicable.

JO - Viruses (1999-4915) JF - Viruses (1999-4915) Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 4 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 3468 EP - 3493 SN - 19994915 AB - Countering aerosolized filovirus infection is a major priority of biodefense research. Aerosol models of filovirus infection have been developed in knock-out mice, guinea pigs and non-human primates; however, filovirus infection of immunocompetent mice by the aerosol route has not been reported. A murine model of aerosolized filovirus infection in mice should be useful for screening vaccine candidates and therapies. In this study, various strains of wild-type and immunocompromised mice were exposed to aerosolized wild-type (WT) or mouse-adapted (MA) Ebola virus (EBOV). Upon exposure to aerosolized WT-EBOV, BALB/c, C57BL/6 (B6), and DBA/2 (D2) mice were unaffected, but 100% of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and 90% of signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat1) knock-out (KO) mice became moribund between 7-9 days post-exposure (dpe). Exposure to MA-EBOV caused 15% body weight loss in BALB/c, but all mice recovered. In contrast, 10-30% lethality was observed in B6 and D2 mice exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and 100% of SCID, Stat1 KO, interferon (IFN)-γ KO and Perforin KO mice became moribund between 7-14 dpe. In order to identify wild-type, inbred, mouse strains in which exposure to aerosolized MA-EBOV is uniformly lethal, 60 BXD (C57BL/6 crossed with DBA/2) recombinant inbred (RI) and advanced RI (ARI) mouse strains were exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and monitored for disease severity. A complete spectrum of disease severity was observed. All BXD strains lost weight but many recovered. However, infection was uniformly lethal within 7 to 12 days post-exposure in five BXD strains. Aerosol exposure of these five BXD strains to 10-fold less MA-EBOV resulted in lethality ranging from 0% in two strains to 90-100% lethality in two strains. Analysis of post-mortem tissue from BXD strains that became moribund and were euthanized at the lower dose of MA-EBOV, showed liver damage in all mice as well as lung lesions in two of the three strains. The two BXD strains that exhibited 90-100% mortality, even at a low dose of airborne MA-EBOV will be useful mouse models for testing vaccines and therapies. Additionally, since disease susceptibility is affected by complex genetic traits, a systems genetics approach was used to identify preliminary gene loci modulating disease severity among the panel BXD strains. Preliminary quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified that are likely to harbor genes involved in modulating differential susceptibility to Ebola infection.

T1 - CrN–Ag nanocomposite coatings: Control of lubricant transport by diffusion barriers JO - Thin Solid Films JF - Thin Solid Films Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 524 M3 - Article SP - 211 EP - 217 SN - 00406090 AB - Abstract: 1-μm-thick self-lubricating CrN–Ag composite coatings containing 16at.% Ag were deposited on Si substrates by reactive co-sputtering at T s =400°C, and were covered with CrN cap layers with a columnar microstructure and a thickness d =0–1000nm. Vacuum annealing at T a =500 and 600°C for 1h causes Ag transport to the sample surface and the formation of Ag surface grains. Quantitative scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses show that increasing d from 0 to 10 to 100nm for T a =500°C leads to a decrease in the areal density of Ag surface grains from 0.86 to 0.45 to 0.04μm−2, while their lateral size remains constant at 360±60nm. However, increasing T a to 600°C causes a doubling of the Ag grain size, and a 4–30 times larger overall Ag transport. These results are explained by kinetic barriers for Ag diffusion through the porous cap layer with a porosity that decreases with increasing d, resulting in an effective activation barrier for Ag transport that increases from 0.78eV in the absence of a cap layer to 0.89eV for d =10nm and 1.07eV for d =30nm. Auger electron spectroscopy depth profile analyses of annealed layers reveal no detectable Ag within the CrN cap layer and a uniform depletion of the Ag reservoir throughout the composite coating thickness, indicating unhindered Ag transport within the composite. The overall results show that a CrN diffusion barrier cap layer is an effective approach to control Ag lubricant transport to the surface of CrN–Ag composite coatings.

This paper describes the realization of ultrasonic motor stators ranging in diameter from 1 to 3mm using wafer scale MEMS fabrication techniques with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films. Using laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV), controlled traveling waves were demonstrated in the bulk silicon elastic medium of the stator and the standing wave behavior was characterized for control purposes. Furthermore, the resonant modes of the fabricated stators were modeled using finite element models, and experimental results agree well with this analysis.

In addition, MEMS-based electret transduction has been reported for both acoustic sensors and energy harvesters. In these micro-devices, the polymer film is typically polarized prior to assembly into the device. Common techniques employed in MEMS electret polarization include corona discharge and backlighted thyratron, with wafer-bonding and simple stacked assemblies being employed to perform the actual assembly and integration. In contrast, this paper reports a method for post-release in situ polarization of electret films within a MEMS device. The method utilizes microplasma discharges with self-aligned charging grids integrated within the device to charge fluoropolymer films in a fashion similar to the corona discharge technique. This in situ approach enables the integration of uncharged electret films into MEMS and subsequent post-fabrication charging, simultaneously enabling the formation of buried or encapsulated electrets as well as eliminating the need to restrict fabrication processes that might otherwise discharge pre-charged electret materials. The method is applied to a single-chip array of ultrasonic sensors designed to capture and analyze waveforms from impacts.

The use of deployable telehealth centers such as modified shipping containers offers promise as an innovative solution to increase access to behavioral healthcare in remote and otherwise austere environments. The first telehealth modified 20-foot shipping container, known as a relocatable telehealth center (RTeC), was deployed to increase access to care for MHS beneficiaries on American Samoa. The goal of this study was to conduct an exploratory evaluation of patient satisfaction with and usability perceptions of this solution as a place to receive behavioral healthcare services. Twenty-eight beneficiaries participated in this evaluation. Results suggest that the RTeC is safe and private and ultimately an appropriate telebehavioral-originating site. These data provide insight into usability considerations and inform future research and deployable telehealth center development. Additionally, a brief discussion about potential cost offset is provided as cost efficiencies impact RTeC viability.

In situ snow measurements of water equivalent, depth and density collected from field surveys during 1996–2004 snow seasons were collocated with gridded SSM/I brightness temperatures. Sub-grid lake fraction was computed from a high-resolution land cover map derived from LANDSAT imagery. Another dataset was created consisting of multi-year time series of SSM/I and AMSR-E brightness temperatures and computed lake fraction. Consistent with other studies, it was found that lake fraction was negatively correlated with in situ snow depth and snow water equivalent and positively correlated with snow density, which indicates that lakes have a direct effect on snow cover distribution: They accumulate less but denser snow than surrounding land areas. Additionally, lake fraction was positively correlated with the brightness temperature measurements at 18GHz and above, but negatively correlated with the AMSR-E brightness temperatures at low frequency channels (6 and 10GHz), with the highest correlation values for the SSM/I (r=0.57) and AMSR-E (r=0.65) at 37GHz dominating the response. Brightness temperature-based lake fraction algorithms were derived using stepwise regression. Performance assessment showed that the AMSR-E algorithm was superior to the SSM/I algorithm due to the use of the low frequency measurements not available from the SSM/I instrument. Combined lake fraction- and SSM/I brightness temperature-based snow depth and snow water equivalent algorithms were also derived using stepwise regression, with improved performance compared to conventional brightness temperature-based algorithms.

In discharge, sulfur is first reduced to highly soluble Li2S8, which dissolves into the organic electrolyte and serves as the liquid cathode. In solution, lithium polysulfide (PS) undergoes a series of complicated disproportionations, whose chemical equilibriums vary with the PS concentration and affect the cell's performance. Since the PS concentration relates to a certain electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio, there is an optimized E/S ratio for the cyclability of each Li/S cell system. In this work, we study the optimized E/S ratio by measuring the cycling performance of Li/S cells, and propose an empirical method for determination of the optimized E/S ratio. By employing an electrolyte of 0.25 m LiSO3CF3-0.25 m LiNO3 dissolved in a 1:1 (wt:wt) mixture of dimethyl ether (DME) and 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) in an optimized E/S ratio, we show that the Li/S cell with a cathode containing 72% sulfur and 2 mg cm-2 sulfur loading is able to retain a specific capacity of 780 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 mA cm-2 between 1.7 V and 2.8 V.

However, this model has shortcomings that weaken its applications. For instance, some of the model parameters are empirical and mutually dependent. Moreover, the photometric model is eclectic and approximate; e.g., (1) the model simultaneously considers the single-scattering phase-function as backscattering and isotropic when describing, respectively, incoherent and coherent multiple scattering, which is physically impossible; (2) the approximation of the incoherent multiple scattering function takes into account the function anisotropy for the incident and emergent angles, but ignores the anisotropy for the azimuth angle that is of equal importance; (3) the model also ignores the dependence of the shadow-hiding effect of particles and coherent-backscattering enhancement on illuminating/viewing geometry, accounting only for the phase-angle component; (4) the azimuthal dependence of the shadow-hiding effect on random topographies is introduced ad hoc and is not verified; moreover, the shadow phase function may produce a non-physical maximum at large angles of viewing. We test the Hapke model using a computer simulation of ray-tracing in particulate surfaces, showing significant differences between the Hapke model and the ray-tracing results. We also apply the Hapke model to the interpretation of laboratory photometry of several well-characterized powdered samples measured in two wavelengths. The samples were measured in three states: as particles in air, as a particulate surface formed by freely spilled particles, and after compressing the particulate surface. The Hapke model parameters were completely inconsistent in the interpretation of these laboratory data. Our attempt to map the Hapke parameters using a series of telescopic calibrated images of the Moon acquired at different phase angles demonstrates that the model does not provide a physically meaningful distribution of its parameters. We also suggest that the small increase of the circular polarization ratio μ C at decreasing phase angle (<10°), which is observed for lunar samples, is not evidence of the coherent-backscattering effect of the Moon. We suggest that Clementine observations carried out with the UV–Vis and NIR cameras demonstrate that the coherent-backscattering effect exists only for bright lunar surface areas with albedo higher than 30%.

By joint structured sparsity, we not only use the sparsity prior for each measurement but we also exploit the structural information across the sparse representation vectors of multiple measurements. Several different sparse prior models are investigated in this paper to exploit the correlations among the multiple measurements with the notion of the joint structured sparsity for improving the classification accuracy. Specifically, we propose models with the joint structured sparsity under different assumptions: same sparse code model, common sparse pattern model, and a newly proposed joint dynamic sparse model. For the joint dynamic sparse model, we also develop an efficient greedy algorithm to solve it. Extensive experiments are carried out on real acoustic data sets, and the results are compared with the conventional discriminative classifiers in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The approach exploits the spatial statistics on two coregistered vertical and horizontal polarization components of the images, where differences of spatial second-order statistics in the bivariate space reveal that man-made objects are separable from natural objects while holding invariant to diurnal cycle variation and geometry of illumination. We exploit the invariant feature using the Bayes decision rule based only on probabilities. Experimental results on a challenging data set, covering a 24-h diurnal cycle, show the effectiveness of the new approach on detecting anomalies; three military tank surrogates posed at different aspect angles are detectable in a natural clutter background. These results yield a negligible false alarm rate as the heating components of the tank surrogates were turned off during data collection.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 51 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 00913286 AB - The performance of a long-wave infrared type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetector with a 50% cut-off wavelength of approximately 8.7 µm is presented. The ability to lower dark current densities over traditional P-type-Intrinsic-N-type diodes is offered by way of hetero-structure engineering of a pBiBn structure utilizing superlattice p-type (p) and n-type (n) contacts, an intrinsic (i) superlattice active (absorber) region, and unipolar superlattice electron and hole blocking (B) layers. The spectral response of this pBiBn detector structure was determined using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and the quantum efficiency was determined using a 6250 nm narrow band filter and a 500 K blackbody source. A diode structure designed, grown, and fabricated in this study yielded a dark current density of 1.05 x 10-5 A/cm² at a reverse bias of -50 mV and a specific detectivity value of greater than 10 Jones at 77 K. Theoretical fittings of the diode dark currents at 77 K were used in this study to help isolate the contributing current components observed in the empirical dark current data. A variable temperature study (80 to 300 K) of the dark current is presented for a diode demonstrating diffusion-limited dark current down to 77 K.

Under some conditions, age-equivalence has been demonstrated for location information. Under other conditions, age-equivalence has been demonstrated for identity information. In three experiments, we examined identity memory, location memory, and their combination in a visuospatial working memory (VSWM) paradigm. Older and younger adults were compared. In addition, we examined metacognitive processes associated with each VSWM component. Results suggest an overall age-deficit in VSWM. Our results also suggest that location information may be less effortfully processed as compared to identity information. With regarding to metacognitive monitoring, we found age- equivalence for identity prediction accuracy and an age-related deficit in prediction accuracy for location information. The present study is the first to demonstrate both age-deficits and age-equivalence in metacognitive prediction accuracy within a working memory paradigm.

Under oxidizing conditions, inhibition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae S-formylglutathione hydrolase (SFGH, homologous to human esterase D) activity is attributable to a cysteine (Cys-60) adjacent to its catalytic triad and approximately 8.0Å away from the Oγ of the nucleophilic serine. Cys-60 is oxidized to a sulfenic acid in the structure of the Paraoxon-inhibited W197I variant (PDB 3C6B). The structural snap-shot captured an unstable reversibly oxidized state, but it remained unclear as to whether the oxidation occurred before, during, or after the reaction with the organophosphate inhibitor. To determine if the oxidation of Cys-60 was functionally linked to ester hydrolysis, we used kinetic analysis and site-directed mutagenesis in combination with X-ray crystallography. The essential nature of Cys-60 for oxidation is demonstrated by the C60S variant, which is not inhibited by peroxide in the presence or absence of substrate. In the presence of substrate, the rate of inhibition of the WT SFGH by peroxide increases 14-fold, suggesting uncompetitive behavior linking oxidation to ester hydrolysis. Here we found one variant, H160I, which is activated by peroxide. This variant is activated at comparable rates in the presence or absence of substrate, indicating that the conserved His-160 is involved in the inhibitory mechanism linking ester hydrolysis to the oxidation of Cys-60. Copper chloride inhibition experiments show that at least two metal ions bind and inhibit both WT and H160I. A structure of the Paraoxon-inhibited W197I variant soaked with CuCl2 shows density for one metal ion per monomer at the N-terminus, and density around the Cys-60 sulfur consistent with a sulfinic acid, Cys-SO2. A Dali structural similarity search uncovered two other enzymes (Bacillus subtilis RsbQ, 1WOM and Clostridium acetobutylicum Lipase–esterase, 3E0X) that contain a similar Cys adjacent to a catalytic triad. We speculate that the regulatory motif uncovered is conserved in some D-type esterases and discuss its structural similarities in the active site of human protective protein (HPP; also known as Cathepsin A).

JO - Journal of Business & Psychology JF - Journal of Business & Psychology Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 27 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 375 EP - 394 SN - 08893268 AB - Purpose: Differences among generations on a wide variety of outcomes are of increasing interest to organizations, practitioners, and researchers alike. The goal of this study was to quantitatively assess the research on generational differences in work-related attitudes and to provide guidance for future research and practice. Design/Methodology/Approach: We conducted a meta-analysis of generational differences on three work-related criteria: job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to turnover. Our review of published and unpublished research found 20 studies allowing for 18 generational pairwise comparisons across four generations (Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials) on these outcomes using 19,961 total subjects. Findings: Corrected mean differences for job satisfaction ranged from .02 to .25, for organizational commitment they ranged from −.22 to .46, and for intent to turnover the range was −.62 to .05. The pattern of results indicates that the relationships between generational membership and work-related outcomes are moderate to small, essentially zero in many cases. Implications: The findings suggest that meaningful differences among generations probably do not exist on the work-related variables we examined and that the differences that appear to exist are likely attributable to factors other than generational membership. Given these results, targeted organizational interventions addressing generational differences may not be effective. Originality/Value: This is the first known quantitative review of research on generational differences in the workplace.

The strategy first selects vortical regions for refinement using feature detection, and then terminates refinement when an acceptable error level has been reached. The feature detection scheme uses a local normalization of the Q-criterion, which allows it to properly identify regions of swirling flow without requiring case-specific tuning. The error estimator relies upon a Richardson extrapolation-like procedure to compute local solution error by comparing the solution on different grid levels. Validation of the proposed approach is carried out using a theoretical advecting vortex and two practical cases, namely, tip vortices from a NACA 0015 wing and the wake structure of a quarter-scale V22 rotor in hover.

T1 - Genetic Barcodes for Improved Environmental Tracking of an Anthrax Simulant. JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2012/12// VL - 78 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 8272 EP - 8280 SN - 00992240 AB - The development of realistic risk models that predict the dissemination, dispersion and persistence of potential biothreat agents have utilized nonpathogenic surrogate organisms such as Bacillus atrophaeus subsp. globigii or commercial products such as Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Comparison of results from outdoor tests under different conditions requires the use of genetically identical strains; however, the requirement for isogenic strains limits the ability to compare other desirable proper-ties, such as the behavior in the environment of the same strain prepared using different methods. Finally, current methods do not allow long-term studies of persistence or reaerosolization in test sites where simulants are heavily used or in areas where B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki is applied as a biopesticide. To create a set of genetically heterogeneous yet phenotypically indistin-guishable strains so that variables intrinsic to simulations (e.g., sample preparation) can be varied and the strains can be tested under otherwise identical conditions, we have developed a strategy of introducing small genetic signatures (“barcodes”) into neutral regions of the genome. The barcodes are stable over 300 generations and do not impact in vitro growth or sporulation. Each barcode contains common and specific tags that allow differentiation of marked strains from wild-type strains and from each other. Each tag is paired with specific real-time PCR assays that facilitate discrimination of barcoded strains from wild-type strains and from each other. These uniquely barcoded strains will be valuable tools for research into the environmental fate of released organisms by providing specific artificial detection signatures.

The high rate response was characterized in terms of a projectile penetration velocity, V50BL(P) (ballistic limit, protection criteria), which describes the projectile velocity with a 50% probability of sample penetration. One factor that dictates the ballistic performance of the epoxy networks, at effective rates of 104–105 s−1, is the difference between the measurement temperature and the glass transition temperature of the network. Sub-T g relaxations did not have a measurable effect on ballistic performance, and neither did the monomer structure and functionality outside of the influence of the resin T g, while off-stoichiometric (excess amine) formulations improved V50BL(P) slightly with high T g epoxies. The results have implications in protective materials for military, aerospace, transportation, and construction industries, where high strain rate insults from airborne debris, high rate collisions, and natural events are increasingly considered during product design.

Such materials may fulfill needs for next-generation, impact- and blast-resistant transparencies in applications such as vehicle windshields and architectural windows. In this work we manufacture transparent composites from a commercially available nanoporous glass by infiltrating the glass with monomer and polymerizing in situ, resulting in an interpenetrating network of glass and polymer. Here, we show that the toughness of the polymer phase plays a significant role in overall composite toughness. Experiments show that, on average, a 100% increase in polymer toughness corresponds to an approximate 40% increase in overall composite toughness.

The technique was characterized using the organophosphorus nerve agent VX. The limit of detection for VX in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-grade water, defined as the lowest calibrator concentration, was 25 pg/mL in a small, 500 μL sample. The method was characterized over the course of 22 sample sets containing calibrators, blanks, and quality control samples. Method precision, expressed as the mean relative standard deviation, was less than 9.2% for all calibrators. Quality control sample accuracy was 102% and 100% of the mean for VX spiked into HPLC-grade water at concentrations of 2.0 and 0.25 ng/mL, respectively. This method successfully was applied to aqueous extracts from soil, hamburger, and finished tap water spiked with VX. Recovery was 65%, 81%, and 100% from these matrixes, respectively. Biologically based extractions of organophosphorus compounds represent a new technique for sample extraction that provides an increase in extraction specificity and sensitivity.

The cohesive model strength and toughness are varied to determine their influence on the macro-behavior of the system and the simulations are compared to experimental results from the literature. Additionally, geometric test parameters including the blade opening, fiber free length, and fiber diameter are varied to assess their relative influence on the macro-response of the system.

To understand the toxicology of these alloys, male F344 rats were intramuscularly implanted with pellets of tungsten/nickel/cobalt, tungsten/nickel/iron, or pure tungsten, with tantalum pellets as a negative control. Between 6 and 12months, aggressive rhabdomyosarcomas formed around tungsten/nickel/cobalt pellets, while those of tungsten/nickel/iron or pure tungsten did not cause cancers. Electron microscopy showed a progressive corrosion of the matrix phase of tungsten/nickel/cobalt pellets over 6months, accompanied by high urinary concentrations of nickel and cobalt. In contrast, non-carcinogenic tungsten/nickel/iron pellets were minimally corroded and urinary metals were low; these pellets having developed a surface oxide layer in vivo that may have restricted the mobilization of carcinogenic nickel. Microarray analysis of tumors revealed large changes in gene expression compared with normal muscle, with biological processes involving the cell cycle significantly up‐regulated and those involved with muscle development and differentiation significantly down‐regulated. Top KEGG pathways disrupted were adherens junction, p53 signaling, and the cell cycle. Chromosomal enrichment analysis of genes showed a highly significant impact at cytoband 7q22 (chromosome 7) which included mouse double minute (MDM2) and cyclin‐dependant kinase (CDK4) as well as other genes associated with human sarcomas. In conclusion, the tumorigenic potential of implanted tungsten alloys is related to mobilization of carcinogenic metals nickel and cobalt from corroding pellets, while gene expression changes in the consequent tumors are similar to radiation induced animal sarcomas as well as sporadic human sarcomas.

One of the key features of the MTM-inspired antennas is their ability to motivate electrically small antenna designs through planar and volumetric loadings of space with resonant parasitic capacitive and inductive structures. In a previous work, we developed the magnetic EZ antenna as a resonant antenna that operates below ka = 0.5. In this paper, we adapt the magnetic EZ antenna concept for use with high-power mesoband quarter-wave oscillator microwave sources that can operate with hundreds of megawatts of peak power and charge voltages in excess of 100 kV in the ultrahigh frequency (500–650 MHz) and demonstrate their performance with charge voltages up to 10 kV. The principal challenges that were overcome in this effort include field management to prevent undesired breakdown and capacitive isolation to decouple the EZ antenna from the source during the charge phase. Antenna design, modeling, and experimental verification are presented here, demonstrating an operating EZ antenna/source system at 510 MHz with antenna ka = 0.436. The results demonstrate that the EZ antenna is a viable antenna to consider when traditional high-power microwave antennas are too large to be integrated into a given platform.

For allthe polymers, the surface was oriented so that the rings are nominallynormal to the film surface and pointing outward from the surface.The magnitude of this orientation was small and dependent on the sizeof the pendant functional group. Bulky functional groups hinderedthe surface orientation, leading to nearly unoriented surfaces. Depthdependent NEXAFS measurements demonstrated that the surface orientationwas localized near the interface. Molecular dynamics simulations showedthat the phenyl rings were not oriented strongly around a particular“average tilt angle”. In contrast, simulations demonstratethat the phenyl rings exhibit a broad distribution of tilt angles,and that changes in the tilt angle distribution with pendant functionalitygive rise to the observed NEXAFS response. The more oriented samplesexhibit a higher probability of phenyl ring orientation at anglesgreater than 60 degrees relative to the plane of the films surface.

Application of the Rankine Vortex and other models used in forecasting Gulf of Mexico hurricanes show considerable differences between the resulting wind speeds and data. The differences are used to guide the development of adjustment factors to improve the wind fields resulting from the Rankine Vortex model. The corrected model shows a significant improvement in the shape, size, and wind speed contours for 14 out of 17 hurricanes examined. The effect on wave fields resulting from the original and modified wind fields are on the order of 4 m, which is important for the estimation of extreme wave statistics.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 194 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 5749 EP - 5758 SN - 00219193 AB - As previously reported, gerP Bacillus subtilis spores were defective in nutrient germination triggered via various germinant receptors (GRs), and the defect was eliminated by severe spore coat defects. The gerP spores' GR-dependent germination had a longer lag time between addition of germinants and initiation of rapid release of spores' dipicolinic acid (DPA), but times for release of >90% of DPA from individual spores were identical for wild-type and gerP spores. The gerP spores were also defective in GR-independent germination by DPA with its associated Ca2+ divalent cation (CaDPA) but germinated better than wild-type spores with the GR-independent germinant dodecylamine. The gerP spores exhibited no increased sensitivity to hypochlorite, suggesting that these spores have no significant coat defect. Overexpression of GRs in gerP spores did lead to faster germination via the overexpressed GR, but this was still slower than germination of comparable gerP+ spores. Unlike wild-type spores, for which maximal nutrient germinant concentrations were between 500 µM and 2 mM for L-alanine and ≤10 mM for L-valine, rates of gerP spore germination increased up to between 200 mM and 1 M L-alanine and 100 mM L-valine, and at 1 M L-alanine, the rates of germination of wild-type and gerP spores with or without all alanine racemases were almost identical. A high pressure of 150 MPa that triggers spore germination by activating GRs also triggered germination of wild-type and gerP spores identically. All these results support the suggestion that GerP proteins facilitate access of nutrient germinants to their cognate GRs in spores' inner membrane.

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 77 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - H231 EP - H238 SN - 00221147 AB - The objective of the study was to investigate the absorption of quercetin aglycone in 18 healthy human subjects administered via the following oral carrier systems: suspension of quercetin (quercetin QU995 powder in Tang® and spring water), nutritional bars (First Strike™), and chews (RealFX™ Q-Plus™). Subjects were divided into 3 groups of 6 individuals each receiving 500 mg quercetin in one of the aforementioned formulations. Blood levels were monitored immediately pre- and for 32 h postadministration. The concentration of total quercetin in blood samples was determined by solid phase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by noncompartmental modeling using Kinetica software. The Cmax of quercetin was highest with RealFX™ Q-Plus™ Chews (1051.9 ± 393.1 μg/L) achieved within 3.3 h as compared to that for First Strike™ Bars (698.1 ± 189.5 μg/L in 2.3 h) and Tang® suspension (354.4 ± 87.6 μg/L in 4.7 h). The results showed no statistically significant difference in quercetin absorption among groups due to high variability within groups receiving quercetin from same dosage form. This study represents the first comprehensive evaluation of quercetin absorption from quercetin fortified oral food products at doses commonly used for quercetin supplementation. Practical Application: The current study describes for the first time, comprehensive evaluation of quercetin PK in humans from quercetin fortified oral food products at doses commonly used for quercetin supplementation. Owing to quercetin's potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, quercetin is widely being used as a nutritional supplement. In order to maximize the bioavailability of quercetin for its use in efficacy studies, it is important to determine its ideal oral carrier system and route for its delivery. The current research unveils vital information about quercetin supplementation to the international community, especially to soldiers, athletes, and the dietary supplement industry.

The inductors are designed for on-chip or in-package integration with high-frequency power converter circuits to enable chip-scale power management in size-constrained applications. A process for realizing the inductors through multilevel, three-dimensional molding of electroplated copper structures has been enhanced with capabilities for four independent copper layers in thicknesses of up to 30 \mum each. The impact of increasing the thickness of the stacked copper traces is specifically explored and compared to similar inductors with 10-\mum-thick stacked windings. Impedance characterization revealed a drastic decrease in the series resistance in the thicker inductors as desired but also revealed undesired eddy current and magnetic coupling effects.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge & Data Engineering JF - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge & Data Engineering Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 24 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1977 EP - 1992 SN - 10414347 AB - Given a collection of Boolean spatiotemporal (ST) event-types, the cascading spatiotemporal pattern (CSTP) discovery process finds partially ordered subsets of these event-types whose instances are located together and occur serially. For example, analysis of crime data sets may reveal frequent occurrence of misdemeanors and drunk driving after and near bar closings on weekends, as well as after and near large gatherings such as football games. Discovering CSTPs from ST data sets is important for application domains such as public safety (e.g., identifying crime attractors and generators) and natural disaster planning, (e.g., preparing for hurricanes). However, CSTP discovery presents multiple challenges; three important ones are 1) the exponential cardinality of candidate patterns with respect to the number of event types, 2) computationally complex ST neighborhood enumeration required to evaluate the interest measure and 3) the difficulty of balancing computational complexity and statistical interpretation. Current approaches for ST data mining focus on mining totally ordered sequences or unordered subsets. In contrast, our recent work explores partially ordered patterns. Recently, we represented CSTPs as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs); proposed a new interest measure, the cascade participation index (CPI); outlined the general structure of a cascading spatiotemporal pattern miner (CSTPM); evaluated filtering strategies to enhance computational savings using a real-world crime data set and proposed a nested loop-based CSTPM to address the challenge posed by exponential cardinality of candidate patterns. This paper adds to our recent work by offering a new computational insight, namely, that the computational bottleneck for CSTP discovery lies in the interest measure evaluation. With this insight, we propose a new CSTPM based on spatiotemporal partitioning that significantly lowers the cost of interest measure evaluation. Analytical evaluation shows that our new CSTPM is correct and complete. Results from significant amount of new experimental evaluation with both synthetic and real data show that our new ST partitioning-based CSTPM outperforms the CSTPM from our previous work. We also present a case study that verifies the applicability of CSTP discovery process.

This article presents the collected data as well as some comparison to existing, near-field deposition models. A 2 km x 2 km grid of deposition samplers' was deployed in the basin and range country of central Utah. Twenty aerial Bt spraying trials" were undertaken. The trials showed very little deposition at 2 km downwind, but measurable material was detected in some of the tests at that distance. Mass balance was attempted but ranged from below 0.1 to over 2 due to high uncertainty in both the method and the collection efficiency of the samplers. Nevertheless, mass balance showed a strong trend with atmospheric stability in these trials, and results indicate that much material lofted out of the sampling domain during trials undertaken in unstable atmospheric conditions. This study confirms the inability of the Lagrangian model as formulated in AGDISP to adequately model fine droplet drift at distances beyond approximately 250 m depending on ambient conditions. A second article will describe the evaluation and configuration of a long-range pesticide drift model interfaced with AGDISP.

JO - Journal of Spacecraft & Rockets JF - Journal of Spacecraft & Rockets Y1 - 2012/11//Nov/Dec2012 VL - 49 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1131 EP - 1140 SN - 00224650 AB - Due to space limitations, cost restrictions, and performance challenges, the physical control mechanism on a smart projectile plays a central role in the overall system design. Many different smart projectile control mechanisms have been created including aerodynamic-based mechanisms such as movable canards, propellant-based mechanisms such as squibs, and inertia-based mechanisms such as internal moving masses. The work reported here considers small microspoilers located between rear fins of a finned projectile to create aerodynamic load changes to enable projectile control In particular, boundary-layer shock interaction between the projectile body, fins, and microspoilers provides a multiplicative effect on controllable forces and moments induced by microspoiler activation. A parametric study varying the microspoiler configuration is conducted to examine the level of control authority possible for this control mechanism concept. Results indicate that relatively small microspoilers located between fins generate substantial control authority that is capable of eliminating impact errors caused by muzzle jump, aerodynamic uncertainty, and atmospheric winds. These conclusions are based on computational fluid dynamic predictions of the effect of microspoilers on air loads coupled to a rigid six-degree-of-freedom projectile trajectory simulation.

In this effort, aerodynamic terms for asymmetries, side moments, and control mechanisms were estimated from onboard sensor data acquired during elevated gun firings.

JO - Cognitive Science JF - Cognitive Science Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 36 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1449 EP - 1467 SN - 03640213 AB - The present studies examined whether implied tactile properties during language comprehension influence subsequent direct tactile perception, and the specificity of any such effects. Participants read sentences that implicitly conveyed information regarding tactile properties (e.g., Grace tried on a pair of thick corduroy pants while shopping) that were either related or unrelated to fabrics and varied in implied texture (smooth, medium, rough). After reading each sentence, participants then performed an unrelated rating task during which they felt and rated the texture of a presented fabric. Results demonstrated that the texture properties implied in sentences influence direct tactile perception. Specifically, after reading about a smooth or rough texture, subsequent fabric ratings became notably smoother or rougher, respectively. However, we also show that there was some specificity to these effects: Fabric-related sentences elicited more specific and interactive effects on subsequent ratings. Together, we demonstrate that under certain circumstances, language comprehension can prime tactile representations and affect direct tactile perception. Results are discussed with regard to the nature and scope of multimodal mental simulation during reading.

Each neurotoxin consists of two polypeptide chains: a 100kDa heavy chain, responsible for binding and internalization into the nerve terminal of cholinergic motoneurons and a 50kDa light chain that mediates cleavage of specific synaptic proteins in the host nerve terminal. Exposure to BoNT leads to cessation of voltage- and Ca2+-dependent acetylcholine (ACh) release, resulting in flaccid paralysis which may be protracted and potentially fatal. There are no approved therapies for BoNT intoxication once symptoms appear, and specific inhibitors of the light chain developed to date have not been able to reverse the consequences of BoNT intoxication. An alternative approach for treatment of botulism is to focus on compounds that act by enhancing ACh release. To this end, we examined the action of the K+ channel blocker 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) in isolated mouse hemidiaphragm muscles intoxicated with 5pM BoNT/A. 3,4-DAP restored tension within 1–3min of application, and was effective even in totally paralyzed muscle. The Ca2+ channel activator (R)-roscovitine (Ros) potentiated the action of 3,4-DAP, allowing for use of lower concentrations of the K+ channel blocker. In the absence of 3,4-DAP, Ros was unable to augment tension in BoNT/A-intoxicated muscle. This is the first report demonstrating the efficacy of the combination of 3,4-DAP and Ros for the potential treatment of BoNT/A-mediated muscle paralysis.

The hydrogen storage capacity and thermally activated dehydrogenation of Alane makes it a candidate as a hydrogen storage material for portable fuel cell systems. In this study, Alane is found to provide a high gravimetric and volumetric energy density for portable power applications; however, there are significant challenges that must be addressed. These challenges include proper thermal control of the Alane dehydrogenation, fuel utilization and storage/treatment of excess hydrogen, and most importantly safety measures to prevent failure from an over-pressurization caused by excess hydrogen.

Subsequently, the nanowire surface was covalently grafted with 1-pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) fluorophore, and surface-sensitive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy were utilized to confirm the functionalization of 1-pyrenebutyric acid on the nanowire surface. Additionally, photoluminescence (PL) measurements were used to evaluate the optical behavior of pristine nanowires. Through fluorescence quenching of 1-pyrenebutyric acid by p-nitrophenol, a detection limit of 28ppb was estimated. Based on these findings, ZnO nanowires functionalized with 1-pyrenebutyric acid are envisaged as extremely sensitive platforms for the ultra-trace detection of p-nitrophenol in biological systems.

Thereby, we employ a model surface (silicon waferwith the native oxide present) and, after deposition of an epoxy functionalizedsilane, we immersed the wafers in various diamines, followed by reactionwith a diepoxy acting as a molecular probe. These results show thatthe number of available surface amines depends on the diamine chosen,wherein smaller molecular weight diamines provide more reaction sites.Subsequent experiments with mixtures of diamines undergoing competitiveadsorption show that the amine quantity can be tailored by choiceof the diamine mixture. Further experiments of diamine treated 3-(glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane layers in a reacting epoxy/diamine showed that thesurface reaction site density differences observed for adsorptionexperiments persisted in the reacting epoxy, implying that the surfacereaction rate (and by extension, the surface amine concentration)dictate interfacial cross-link density up to the point of gelation.

The collected data are then used to extrapolatethe effects on humans and determine initial dose regimens for clinicaltrials. The underlying assumption is that the severity of the toxiceffects in animals is correlated with that in humans. However, thereis a general lack of toxic correlations across species. Thus, it ismore advantageous to predict the toxicological effects of a compoundon humans directly from the human toxicological data of related compounds.However, many popular quantitative structure–activity relationship(QSAR) methods that build a single global model by fitting all trainingdata appear inappropriate for predicting toxicological effects ofstructurally diverse compounds because the observed toxicologicaleffects may originate from very different and mostly unknown molecularmechanisms. In this article, we demonstrate, via application to thehuman maximum recommended daily dose data that locally weighted learningmethods, such as k-nearest neighbors, are well suitedfor predicting toxicological effects of structurally diverse compounds.We also show that a significant flaw of the k-nearestneighbor method is that it always uses a constant number of nearestneighbors in making prediction for a target compound, irrespectiveof whether the nearest neighbors are structurally similar enough tothe target compound to ensure that they share the same mechanism ofaction. To remedy this flaw, we proposed and implemented a variablenumber nearest neighbor method. The advantages of the variable numbernearest neighbor method over other QSAR methods include (1) allowingmore reliable predictions to be achieved by applying a tighter moleculardistance threshold and (2) automatic detection for when a predictionshould not be made because the compound is outside the applicabledomain.

In particular, we have studied diblock copolymer melts containing polystyrene (PS), polybutadiene (PB), and polyisoprene (PI) as the second block. We have systematically varied the ratio of 1,2-/1,4-microstructures of poly (1,3-cyclohexadiene) to tune the conformational asymmetry between the two blocks and characterized the effects of these changes on the morphologies using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Our experimental investigations reveal that the melts of PCHD-b-PB, PCHD-b-PS and PCHD-b-PI containing nearly equal fractions of each component and high percentage of 1,4-microstructures in the PCHD block form cylindrical rather than lamellar morphologies as expected in symmetric diblock copolymers. In contrast, the morphologies of PCHD-b-PB, PCHD-b-PS and PCHD-b-PI containing PCHD block with higher 1,2-microstructure are found to be disordered at 110 °C. The change in the morphological behavior is in good agreement with our numerical calculations using the random phase approximation and self-consistent field theory for conformationally asymmetric diblock copolymer melts. Also, the effects of composition fluctuations are studied by extending the Brazovskii–Leibler–Fredrickson–Helfand (J. Chem. Phys. 87, 697 (1987)) theory to conformationally asymmetric diblock copolymer melts. These results allow the understanding of the underlying self-assembly process that highlights the importance of the conformational asymmetry in tuning the morphologies in block copolymers.

T1 - Induction of pulmonary mucosal immune responses with a protein vaccine targeted to the DEC-205/CD205 receptor JO - Vaccine JF - Vaccine Y1 - 2012/10/05/ VL - 30 IS - 45 M3 - Article SP - 6359 EP - 6367 SN - 0264410X AB - Abstract: It is of great interest to develop a pneumonic plague vaccine that would induce combined humoral and cellular immunity in the lung. Here we investigate a novel approach based on targeting of dendritic cells using the DEC-205/CD205 receptor (DEC) via the intranasal route as way to improve mucosal cellular immunity to the vaccine. Intranasal administration of Yersinia pestis LcrV (V) protein fused to anti-DEC antibody together with poly IC as an adjuvant induced high frequencies of IFN-γ secreting CD4+ T cells in the airway and lung as well as pulmonary IgG and IgA antibodies. Anti-DEC:LcrV was more efficient to induce IFN-γ/TNF-α/IL-2 secreting polyfunctional CD4+ T cells when compared to non-targeted soluble protein vaccine. In addition, the intranasal route of immunization with anti-DEC:LcrV was associated with improved survival upon pulmonary challenge with the virulent CO92 Y. pestis. Taken together, these data indicate that targeting dendritic cells via the mucosal route is a potential new avenue for the development of a mucosal vaccine against pneumonic plague.

JO - Viruses (1999-4915) JF - Viruses (1999-4915) Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 4 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2115 EP - 2136 SN - 19994915 AB - Filoviruses are members of the genera Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and "Cuevavirus". Because they cause human disease with high lethality and could potentially be used as a bioweapon, these viruses are classified as CDC Category A Bioterrorism Agents. Filoviruses are relatively stable in aerosols, retain virulence after lyophilization, and can be present on contaminated surfaces for extended periods of time. This study explores the characteristics of aerosolized Sudan virus (SUDV) Boniface in non-human primates (NHP) belonging to three different species. Groups of cynomolgus macaques (cyno), rhesus macaques (rhesus), and African green monkeys (AGM) were challenged with target doses of 50 or 500 plaque-forming units (pfu) of aerosolized SUDV. Exposure to either viral dose resulted in increased body temperatures in all three NHP species beginning on days 4-5 post-exposure. Other clinical findings for all three NHP species included leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, dehydration, and lymphadenopathy. Disease in all of the NHPs was severe beginning on day 6 post-exposure, and all animals except one surviving rhesus macaque were euthanized by day 14. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) concentrations were elevated during the course of disease in all three species; however, AGMs had significantly higher ALT and AST concentrations than cynos and rhesus. While all three species had detectable viral load by days 3-4 post exposure, Rhesus had lower average peak viral load than cynos or AGMs. Overall, the results indicate that the disease course after exposure to aerosolized SUDV is similar for all three species of NHP.

This study challenges these assumptions and measures the CSR orientations of managers of defense firms. The findings reveal the orientations of defense firm managers to be consistent with those of other corporate populations, though the highly regulated environment of defense contracting causes some differences. The findings help to redeem the social standing of defense firms, and by implication, their employees and the military members who use their products, from unwarranted antimilitary biases.

The physics of sensor transduction and acoustics however place fundamental constraints on performance and limit the benefits of continual reductions in size. Key operating parameters such as sensitivity, minimum detectable signal (MDS) and resonant frequency are directly affected by device scale. Besides overall scale, relative sensor geometry (e.g. thickness ratio) can drastically alter performance. Through finite element and lumped element modeling, we study the effects of sensor geometry and scale on the sensitivity and noise performance of a piezoelectric microphone. The results indicate optimal relative geometric parameters for maximum performance and demonstrate the strong dependence on device geometry.

T1 - The effect of rapid and sustained decompression on barotrauma in juvenile brook lamprey and Pacific lamprey: Implications for passage at hydroelectric facilities JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 129-130 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 20 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: Fish passing downstream through hydroelectric facilities may pass through turbines where they experience a rapid decrease in pressure, which can lead to barotraumas including swim bladder rupture, exopthalmia, emboli, and hemorrhaging. In juvenile Chinook salmon, the main mechanism for injury is thought to be expansion of existing gases (particularly those present in the swim bladder) and the rupture of the swim bladder ultimately leading to exopthalmia, emboli and hemorrhaging. In fish lacking a swim bladder, such as lamprey, barotraumas due to rapid decompression may be reduced, however this has yet to be extensively studied. Another mechanism for barotrauma can be gases coming out of solution and the rate of this occurrence may vary among species. In this study, juvenile brook and Pacific lamprey acclimated to 146.2kPa (equivalent to a depth of 4.6m) were subjected to rapid (<1s) or sustained decompression (17min) to a very low pressure (13.8kPa) using a protocol previously applied to juvenile salmon. No mortality or evidence of barotraumas was observed following rapid decompression, nor up to 120h after sustained decompression. In contrast, mortality or injury would be expected for 97.5% of juvenile Chinook salmon exposed to a similar rapid decompression to these very low pressures. Additionally, juvenile Chinook salmon experiencing sustained decompression died within 7min. Thus, juvenile lamprey may not be susceptible to barotraumas associated with turbine passage to the same degree as juvenile salmonids.

However, the relative importance of known environmental mitigating factors for dissolved silver remains poorly characterized for nanosilver in context with existing predictive toxicity models. This study investigated the implications of freshly prepared versus stored 20 and 100 nm nanosilver stocks to freshwater zooplankton (Ceriodaphnia dubia) in presence and absence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Results indicated that while the acute toxicity of nanosilver decreased significantly with larger size and higher DOC, storage resulted in significant increases in toxicity and ion release. The most dramatic decrease in toxicity due to DOC was observed for the 20 nm particle (2.5-6.7 fold decrease), with more modest toxicity reductions observed for the 100 nm particle (2.0-2.4 fold) and dissolved silver (2.7-3.1 fold). While a surface area dosimetry presented an improvement over mass when DOC was absent, the presence of DOC confounded its efficacy. The fraction of dissolved silver in the nanosilver suspensions was most predictive of acute toxicity regardless of system complexity. Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) predictions based on the dissolved fraction in nanosilver suspensions were comparable to observed toxicity.

Suicide-related ideation, which is associated with suicide attempts and suicide, can cause considerable distress. In a sample of 1,663 recently redeployed soldiers, we used factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test the associations between combat exposure, unit cohesion, and their interaction in predicting suicide-related ideation. We found that combat exposure was a significant risk factor for suicide-related ideation, while unit cohesion was a significant protective factor. The significant interaction between the two factors indicated that soldiers who experienced greater combat exposure but also had higher levels of unit cohesion had relatively lower levels of suicide-related ideation. In addition, those who had higher levels of combat exposure and lower unit cohesion were most at risk for suicide-related ideation. Our findings indicate the importance of unit cohesion in protecting soldiers from suicide-related ideation and suggest a higher risk group of soldiers who should be targeted for interventions.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 50 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 55 SN - 01636804 AB - Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming prevalent in tactical networks as they are proving to be an extremely flexible platform for a variety of applications. Increasingly, UAVs need to cooperate with each other in order to perform complex tasks such as target monitoring and prosecution, information gathering and processing, and delivery between disconnected portions of the network. However, UAV cooperation in tactical scenarios represents a major challenge from both the coordination and communication perspectives. In fact, cooperating UAVs must achieve a high degree of coordination in order to accomplish complex tasks in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In turn, as UAVs interact with other entities, the effective coordination of multiple-UAV operations requires specific support in terms of efficient communication protocols and mechanisms exploiting UAVs as mobile assets that facilitate and hasten critical information flows. This article presents a series of considerations and lessons learned that we have collected in our experience with multiple- UAV coordination and communications in tactical edge networks, and discusses some of the main components of a middleware we specifically designed to support multiple-UAV operations.

In this experimental study, three GFRP composite fabrication processes are used: hand lay-up (HL), vacuum infusion (VI), and hybrid (hand lay-up + vacuum infusion) processes. Stainless steel pins with interference fits ranging from 0% to 1% are inserted into the GFRP samples. The quasi-static and fatigue properties of the pin-loaded composites with interference fit (0.6% and 1%) are then compared to samples with transition-fit (0% of interference fit). Even with possible local damage on the joints, interference fit does not degrade the performance of the composite joints under quasi-static loading, especially when kept under 1% of interference fit. However, fatigue life is highly related to the fabrication processes. Vacuum infusion processed GFRP samples show most visible fatigue life improvement due to interference fit, while hand lay-up or hybrid samples have moderate improvement. Fractography and failure mode of each sample are examined using microscopes.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the baseline historical and physical examination factors associated with increased contracted LM muscle thickness one week after SMT. Eighty-one participants with LBP underwent a baseline physical examination and ultrasound imaging assessment of the LM muscle during submaximal contraction before and one week after SMT. The relationship between baseline examination variables and 1-week change in contracted LM thickness was assessed using correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple linear regression. Four variables best predicted the magnitude of increases in contracted LM muscle thickness after SMT. When combined, these variables suggest that patients with LBP, (1) that are fairly acute, (2) have at least a moderately good prognosis without focal and irritable symptoms, and (3) exhibit signs of spinal instability, may be the best candidates for a combined SMT and lumbar stabilization exercise (LSE) treatment approach.

To meet demand, low-temperature plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) is an emerging deposition technology for highly conformal thin films. We comparatively studied the effectiveness of low-temperature PE-ALD by measuring the ALD film roughness, thickness, and dielectric values. Conformal deposition was investigated through scanning electron microscopy images of the Al2O3 film deposited onto high aspect ratio features dry-etched into HgCdTe. PE-ALD demonstrated conformal coatings of trenches, pillars and holes in advanced HgCdTe infrared sensor architectures.

A statistically designed experiment was performed to optimize the etching parameters. The resulting parameters are discussed in terms of the effect on the etching rate and profile. This process uses a small amount of mask corrosion and the control of the etching mask gap to give a 45 deg to 50 deg V-groove etching profile, which is independent of the crystal orientation of GaAs. In the etching development, scanning electron microscope was used to observe the surface morphology and the pattern profile. In addition, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to obtain the elemental composition and contamination of the etching surface. It is found that extremely small stoichiometric change and surface damage of the etching surface can be achieved while keeping a relatively high etching rate and ~45 deg V-groove etching profile. This etching process is applied to the fabrication of pyramidal C-QWIP FPAs successfully, which are expected to have better performance than the regular prism-shaped C-QWlPs according to electromagnetic modeling.

As an example, using the single crystal elastic constants from first-principles calculations and a polycrystalline microstructure from a phase-field simulation as inputs, the effective elastic moduli of polycrystalline magnesium are obtained as a function of temperature and compared with available experimental measurements. The texture effect on the effective elastic moduli is also examined. The proposed integrated model will make it possible to model not only the temporal evolution of microstructures but also the temporal evolution of properties using the phase-field method.

The nonlinear optical response of the metal is described by a hydrodynamic model, with the effects of electron pressure in the electron gas also taken into account. We show that as the pressure term tends to zero the amount of converted second-harmonic field tends to an asymptotic value. In this limit it becomes possible to rewrite the nonlinear surface contributions as functions of the value of the polarization vector inside the bulk region. Nonlocality thus can be incorporated into numerical simulations without actually utilizing the nonlocal equation of motion or solving for the rapidly varying fields that occur near the metal surface. We use our model to investigate the second-harmonic generation process with three-dimensional gold nanoparticle arrays and show that nanocrescents can easily attain conversion efficiencies of ~6.0 × 10-8 for pumping peak intensities of a few tens of MW/cm².

The multilayer LCP process allows a low-cost and lightweight circuit that can easily be integrated with other radio frequency front-end components, such as an antenna, at the packaging level. By routing lines onto embedded multilayers, a 22.5% reduction in area is achieved. In addition, low-loss piezoelectric SP4T switches with a 7 V actuation voltage are used to switch between different phase delays. The phase shifter exhibits a loss of 0.75 dB/bit with 2.25^\circ average phase error at 10 GHz.

Several differentlevels of theory were applied, including DFT-, MP2-, and CCSD(T)-basedmethods, to find an approach that is computationally inexpensive andcan provide accurate thermodynamic parameters for studied adsorptionphenomena. The methods and techniques used (including cluster andperiodic approximations) were evaluated on the basis of comparisonwith available experimental data. The optimized structures of calculatedcomplexes are obtained, and the interaction energies and Gibbs freeenergies are predicted. Good agreement was revealed for the theoreticaland experimental adsorption energies of benzene and PAHs adsorbedon the carbon surfaces. The adsorption of benzene, PAHs, and NACson carbon is suggested to be effective from the gas phase for allstudied compounds and for PAHs and NACs also from water solution atroom temperature.

The swelling behavior was improved for the NT and LbL systems over that of unmodified PPy. Reversible swelling of about 20% in 120s on the first cycle was measured with the NT PPy via the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The changes in the morphology and roughness that occur with swelling and shrinking were measured using in situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed that both the LbL and NT systems exhibited increased surface area relative to unmodified PPy thin films. The understanding of the changes occurring due to molecular and nanostructural reconfiguration in response to electrochemical stimuli may lead to potential applications in the development of a new generation of smart materials, in particular, more effective switchable materials.

During filamentation, emissions from small excited molecular species and atomic states, both neutral and ionic, are readily observed. Among the important excited state species observed in air is the excited triplet state of molecular nitrogen, . A method used to measure the emission properties of the excited states of nitrogen during filamentation is described. These measurements indicate that intersystem crossing from an excited singlet state is the dominate path to produce the triplet state. Alternative pathways, including neutralization of cationic species, were shown to be minor contributors under the laser-induced filamentation conditions of this study.

In this work, we utilize coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the molecular mechanisms, particularly the effects of hard segment content, intermolecular interaction, and rigidity of the interface between the hard and soft segments on local morphology and rate-dependent stress-strain behavior in the ballistic regime. Simulation results qualitatively agree with available experimental data, where analysis of hard segment orientation during tensile and compression deformation and dynamic strain rate sensitivity was also performed. Further study of the intermolecular interaction on the stress-strain behavior reveals that it has a strong effect on strain hardening, particularly for a rigid interface, once the hard segment content reaches the percolation threshold. Simulation results also show that interface intermolecular interaction could become more dominant over interface rigidity in the initial stress-strain response, particularly below percolation.

The joining locations affect structural performance criteria such as the frequency response and the static compliance of the modified structure. One approach to finding improved/optimal joining locations is to place the joints such that the total amount of energy input into the structure (from external forces) is lowered/minimized, thus ensuring that the performance of the structure is least affected by the structural modifications. However, such an approach does not account for the stresses in the joints. Therefore, in this work, the amount of strain energy concentrated in the joints is also considered. The cost function for this optimization problem is then composed of two energies. These energies are different for the undamped and damped cases. Herein, the focus is on the (more realistic) damped case. The cost function is minimized by a modified optimality criteria method. This process is time consuming because it requires the calculation of sensitivities of the joint strain energy, which in turn requires the calculation of the displacements of all candidate joint locations by using the system-level mass and stiffness matrices and force vector (at each frequency in the range of interest). To address this issue, a series of complex algebraic manipulations and approximations are used to significantly reduce the computational cost. In addition, for the case where structural and geometrical variations are necessary, parametric reduced-order models are used to compute the cost function with further significant gains in computational speed. Numerical results for improved/optimal joining are presented for representative complex structures with structural variabilities.

Recent reports of contamination in drinking water and soil have raised scrutiny and suspended some applications. This investigation employed the cabbage Brassica oleracae and snail Otala lactea as models to determine the toxicological implications of sodium tungstate and an aged tungsten powder-spiked soil containing monomeric and polymeric tungstates. Aged soil bioassays indicated cabbage growth was impaired at 436 mg of W/kg, while snail survival was not impacted up to 3793 mg of W/kg. In a dermal exposure, sodium tungstate was more toxic to the snail, with a lethal median concentration of 859 mg of W/kg. While the snail significantly bioaccumulated tungsten, predominately in the hepatopancreas, cabbage leaves bioaccumulated much higher concentrations. Synchrotron-based mapping indicated the highest levels of W were in the veins of cabbage leaves. Our results suggest snails consuming contaminated cabbage accumulated higher tungsten concentrations relative to the concentrations directly bioaccumulated from soil, indicating the importance of robust trophic transfer investigations. Finally, synchrotron mapping provided evidence of tungsten in the inner layer of the snail shell, suggesting potential use of snail shells as a biomonitoring tool for metal contamination.

JO - Molluscan Research JF - Molluscan Research Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 32 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1062 EP - 1069 SN - 13235818 AB - In 2012, all populations of Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus were listed as either threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. During 2007-2010, researchers documented 31 carcasses of adult Atlantic sturgeon in the tidal freshwater portion of the James River, Virginia. Twenty-six of the carcasses had gashes from vessel propellers, and the remaining five carcasses were too decomposed to allow determination of the cause of death. The types of vessels responsible for these mortalities were not explicitly demonstrated. Most (84%) of the carcasses were found in a relatively narrow reach that was modified to increase shipping efficiency. To explore the number of Atlantic sturgeon being hit and their horizontal and depth distributions in relation to vessel draft, we conducted telemetry experiments on three living fish (all males) and six dead specimens. While staging (holding in an area from hours to days, with minimal upstream or downstream movements), the adult male Atlantic sturgeon spent most (62%) of the time within 1 m of the river bottom. Assuming that behavior is not modified by vessel noise, adult male Atlantic sturgeon in the James River would rarely encounter small recreational boats or tugboats with shallow drafts; instead, mortalities are likely caused by deep-draft ocean cargo ships, which have drafts that coincide with the distribution of the tracked adult males. Dead specimens (n = 6) drifted with the current for several hours to almost 4 d before beaching at distances ranging from 0.5 to over 50 river kilometers from the point of release. We estimated that current monitoring in the James River documents less than one-third of vessel strike mortalities. A better understanding of Atlantic sturgeon behavior in the presence of vessels will aid in restoring this federally endangered species.

These Doppler signatures are generated by various components of the human body while walking, and contain unique features that can be used for human detection and recognition. Although, a significant amount of research has been done in radio frequency regime for human Doppler signature extraction, considerably less has been done in acoustics. In this work, 40 kHz ultrasonic sonar is employed to measure the Doppler signature generated by the motion of body segments using different electronic and signal processing schemes. These schemes are based on both analog and digital demodulation with homodyne and heterodyne receiver circuitry. The results and analyses from these different schemes are presented.

Subsequent vacuum annealing at Ta =425, 525, and 625°C causes Ag transport to the surface. Auger electron spectroscopy and plan-view microscopy are used to quantify the Ag transport to the surface, which increases strongly with increasing ΔT=Ta −Ts. Compositional depth profiles and cross-sectional microscopy show that annealing causes a negligible Ag gradient through the composite layer, suggesting that the Ag transport is detachment-limited as opposed to diffusion-limited. Statistical analyses of Ag aggregate size-distributions within the matrix show that large aggregates (≥50nm) are unaffected by annealing, while the Ag in a large fraction of small aggregates (<50nm) moves to the surface, leaving behind 10–50nm wide voids in the annealed composite. This indicates that the Ag from the smaller grains, with a higher chemical potential and thus a higher detachment rate, is transferred to the large grains on the surface which are 200–1000nm wide.

The LaBranche (LB) wetlands bordering Lake Pontchartrain are severely degraded due to saltwater intrusion, subsidence, leveeing of the river, and hydrologic alterations including partial impoundment. Directly adjacent is the Bonnet Carré (BC) spillway, a geomorphically similar area that contains healthy baldcypress swamp. The spillway carries river water to the lake during high discharge years and has been opened eleven times in 80 years, with flows as high as 9000m3 s−1. The primary hydrologic difference between the two areas is the regular input of River water to the BC wetlands while the LB wetlands are isolated from the river. The interior of the LB wetlands is also isolated from sediment originating from Lake Pontchartrain. Long-term accretion, tree growth, and elevation were measured in these two wetland areas to determine impacts of riverine input. 137Cs accretion rates in the BC wetlands were 2.6–2.7cmyr−1, compared to 0.43 and 1.4cmyr−1, respectively, in the LB wetlands in areas without and with sediment input from Lake Pontchartrain. Baldypress growth in the BC averaged about 2.3mmringwidthyr−1, compared to 1.4mmyr−1 in LB. Trees are of relatively the same age due to lack of recruitment and widespread logging. Tree height, an indicator of site quality, is about 20% less at the LB sites compared to BC, even though the trees are approximately the same ages. The average wetland elevation in the BC wetlands was about one meter with some areas higher than two meters, and was significantly higher than elevations in the LB (average sea level and 0.3m, respectively, in areas with and without input from Lake Pontchartrain).

However, the extremely low vapor pressure of many solid energetic materials under ambient conditions impedes these sensors. In this paper, we report on a novel technique based on laser photoacoustic overtone spectroscopy to detect and differentiate solid 1,3,5-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX), and 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) in real time at ambient conditions. A tunable, near-infrared laser excites the target compound in the spectral region between 5800 to 6100 cm−1, and a microphone monitors the sound that they generate by non-radiative, collisional de-excitation processes. The photoacoustic signals result from first-overtone and combination absorptions of the energetic material's C-H vibrations, and the collisional processes enhance the signal at atmospheric pressure. The spectra reveal features that are unique to each measured material and these features can serve as a fingerprint for that material. We report the effects of laser energy and wavelength on signal intensity and estimate a detection limit for these compounds.

The QCL was continuously tunable from 1015 cm−1to 1240 cm−1, allowing for collection of photoacoustic vibrational spectra for these materials. Variation of the laser pulse repetition rate allowed for identification and molecular discrimination of glycerol, TEOS, and photoresist based solely on photoacoustic spectra collected at different film depths.

The natural lake was full during a large part of the twentieth century but dried up completely in September 2008 and levels have yet to recover. The objective of the study was to understand the hydrogeologic factors that influence lake-level changes using a daily water balance, electrical resistivity, water sampling and geochemical analysis, and well logging. Results from the water balance demonstrate the seasonal response to precipitation of a forested first-order drainage system in fractured rock. The resistivity surveys suggest discrete high-permeability areas may provide pathways for lake drainage. Imagery, well logs, and field observations appear to confirm the presence of a fault which crosses the Eastern Continental Divide to the east of the lake that had not previously been discussed in literature on the lake; the position of the lake within local and intermediate groundwater flow systems is considered. Historical data suggest that either significant precipitation or artificial intervention to mitigate seepage would be required for lake-level recovery in the near future.

Currently there is no effective treatment except for the use of intravenous immunoglobulins administered shortly after SEB exposure. Intranasal SEB induces long-lasting lung injury which requires prolonged drug treatment. We investigated the effects of rapamycin, an immunosuppressive drug used to prevent graft rejection, by intranasal administration in a lethal mouse model of SEB-induced shock. The results show that intranasal rapamycin alone delivered as late as 17 h after SEB protected 100% of mice from lethal shock. Additionally, rapamycin diminished the weight loss and temperature fluctuations elicited by SEB. Intranasal rapamycin attenuated lung MCP-1, IL-2, IL-6, and IFNγ by 70%, 30%, 64%, and 68% respectively. Furthermore, short courses (three doses) of rapamycin were sufficient to block SEB-induced shock. Intranasal rapamycin represents a novel use of an immunosuppressant targeting directly to site of toxin exposure, reducing dosages needed and allowing a wider therapeutic window.

Thermo-mechanical behavior of the composites was evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermal mechanical analysis (TMA). The addition of epoxy-terminated polyether polyol to the epoxy resin caused a slight decrease in thermo-mechanical properties of resin systems. However, the addition of a very small amount of NH2-MWCNTs into the polyol-toughened epoxy considerably increased the glass transition temperature, storage and loss moduli, damping properties and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the composites. The inclusion of the polyol in the resin system resulted in a more flexible system and a corresponding decrease in the thermo-mechanical properties. However, incorporation of a uniformly dispersed 0.3 wt.% loading of NH2-MWCNTs into the polyol-toughened epoxy composites improved the properties compared with pristine and polyol-toughened epoxy composites due to improved crosslink interactions among NH2-MWCNTs, epoxy-terminated polyol and epoxy resin.

Designs incorporating reflectarrays with confocal imagers have not been examined previously at these frequencies. We examine tradeoffs between array size, overall system size, and number of achievable image pixels resulting in a realistic architecture capable of meeting the needs of our application. Impacts to imaging performance are assessed through encircled energy calculations, beam pointing accuracy, and examining the number and intensity of quantization lobes that appear over the scan ranges of interest. Over the desired scan range, arrays with 1 and 2-bit phase quantization showed similar array main beam energy efficiencies. Two-bit phase quantization is advantageous in terms of pointing angle error, resulting in errors of at most 15% of the diffraction-limited beam size. However, both phase quantization cases considered resulted in spurious returns over the scan range of interest and other array layouts should be examined to eliminate potential imaging artifacts.

A pre-liminary investigation of system performance reveals nonuniformity in amplitude response across the array is a major contributor to deviations from predicted point spread functions (PSFs).

Using an original survey of over one thousand respondents, the authors question whether African Americans and black ethnics (Africans, Afro-Caribbean Americans, Afro-Cuban Americans, and Haitians) possess a shared group consciousness and, if so, why. Second, does group consciousness or socioeconomic status most influence the political participation of our respondents? The authors find that these groups have a common consciousness because of their skin color, experiences with discrimination, common interests, similar ideological views, and leadership preferences. They also find that while group consciousness has more of an impact on African American political participation, socioeconomic status more heavily influences black ethnics. Last, factors such as age, gender, partisanship, religion, and second-generation citizenship also affect African American and/or black ethnic political participation.

JO - Ecological Indicators JF - Ecological Indicators Y1 - 2012/09// VL - 20 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 150 SN - 1470160X AB - Abstract: Ecological indicators provide early warning of adverse environmental change, helping land managers adaptively manage their resources while minimizing costly remediation. In 1999 and 2000, we studied two such indicators, growth and developmental instability, of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) influenced by mechanized infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Disturbed areas were used for military training; tracked and wheeled vehicles damaged vegetation and soils. Highly disturbed sites had fewer trees, diminished ground cover, warmer soils in the summer, and more compacted soils with a shallower A-horizon. We hypothesized that disturbance would decrease the growth of needles, branches, and tree rings, increase the complexity of tree rings, and increase the developmental instability of needles. Contrary to our expectations, however, disturbance enhanced growth in the first year of the study, possibly by reducing competition. In the second year, a drought reduced growth of branches and needles, eliminating the stimulatory effect of disturbance. Growth-ring widths increased with growing-season precipitation, and decreased with growing-season temperature over the last 40 years. Disturbance had no effect on tree-ring complexity, as measured by the Hurst exponent. Within-fascicle variation of current-year needle length, a measure of developmental instability, differed among the study populations, but appeared unrelated to mechanical disturbance or drought.

A two-sublattice model is used for describing the solid solubility of the HfW2 Laves phase. The modeling of the Laves phase includes input from first-principles total energy calculations and predictions of finite temperature properties from the Debye–Grüneisen model. In addition, first-principles calculations performed on hcp and bcc special quasirandom structures (SQS) predicted a positive enthalpy of mixing in both solid solution phases. Predicting the finite temperature properties of bcc SQS with the Debye–Grüneisen model was necessary to balance the positive, asymmetric enthalpy of mixing found in the bcc solid solution. The model produced by the coupling of CALPHAD modeling with first-principles calculations agrees well with experimental data. It also reproduces the Hf–W phase diagram with fewer parameters than previous models, which were created without the aid of first-principles calculations.

It explains the challenge of high temperature that is required to get the power densities necessary to produce feasible-sized operational units and also explains problems encountered with partial oxidation of the carbon at those temperatures which causes low efficiencies. Finally, in an attempt to balance these two opposing parameters, CEL introduces a novel ceramic DCFC concept, reviews lessons learned and makes recommendations for future DCFC work.

ICTP was higher in oral contraceptive women (5.3 ± 1.7 vs. 3.7 ± 1.3 µg/L; p = 0.030), primarily during days near ovulation and the early luteal phase when concentrations decreased in eumenorrheic women ( p = 0.04). IGF-I concentrations increased during menses then decreased and remained lower during the early and late luteal phase in oral contraceptive women, resulting in lower concentrations compared to eumenorrheic women at EL2 and LL1 ( p = 0.03). CICP decreased in early and late luteal days ( p <0.01), and there was a trend toward lower concentrations in eumenorrheic versus oral contraceptive women (85.7 ± 35.7 ng/ml vs. 123.2 ± 49.8 ng/ml; p = 0.07). Lower CICP and greater IGF-I concentrations predicted greater AKL across the 20 cycle days in both groups ( R2 = 0.310 and 0.400). Sex hormone concentration changes across the menstrual cycle are of sufficient magnitude to influence collagen metabolism, and may indirectly influence knee structure and function. © 2012 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Using a fully flexible molecular potential in highly damped molecular dynamics simulations, we determined quenched 0 K GSF energy surfaces and structures for a set of planes in the α-polymorph RDX crystal and subsequently compare predictions of slip or cleavage with available experimental observations. To account for the steric contributions and elastic shearing due to the presence of flexible molecules, a modified calculation procedure for the GSF energy surface is proposed that enables the distinction of elastic shear energy from the energy associated with the interfacial displacement discontinuity at the slip plane. Comparisons of the unstable stacking fault energy with the surface energy are used to differentiate cleavage planes from likely slip planes, and the calculations are found to be largely in agreement with available experimental data.

We first investigate the robustness of viable solution schemes by analyzing the solvability conditions of the discrete problem. We find that a staggered solution procedure where the potential fields are computed consistently for every trial electron-density is a robust solution procedure for higher-order finite-element discretizations. We next study the convergence properties of higher-order finite-element discretizations of orbital-free density functional theory by considering benchmark problems that include calculations involving both pseudopotential as well as Coulomb singular potential fields. Our numerical studies suggest close to optimal rates of convergence on all benchmark problems for various orders of finite-element approximations considered in the present study. We finally investigate the computational efficiency afforded by various higher-order finite-element discretizations, which constitutes the main aspect of the present work, by measuring the CPU time for the solution of discrete equations on benchmark problems that include large Aluminum clusters. In these studies, we use mesh coarse-graining rates that are derived from error estimates and an a priori knowledge of the asymptotic solution of the far-field electronic fields. Our studies reveal a significant 100–1000 fold computational savings afforded by the use of higher-order finite-element discretization, alongside providing the desired chemical accuracy. We consider this study as a step towards developing a robust and computationally efficient discretization of electronic structure calculations using the finite-element basis.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2012/08/14/ VL - 51 IS - 32 M3 - Article SP - 6463 EP - 6475 SN - 00062960 AB - Phosphotriesterase (PTE) from soil bacteria is known for its ability to catalyze the detoxification of organophosphate pesticides and chemical warfare agents. Most of the organophosphate chemical warfare agents are a mixture of two stereoisomers at the phosphorus center, and the SP-enantiomers are significantly more toxic than the RP-enantiomers. In previous investigations, PTE variants were created through the manipulation of the substrate binding pockets and these mutants were shown to have greater catalytic activities for the detoxification of the more toxic SP-enantiomers of nerve agent analogues for GB, GD, GF, VX, and VR than the less toxic RP-enantiomers. In this investigation, alternate strategies were employed to discover additional PTE variants with significant improvements in catalytic activities relative to that of the wild-type enzyme. Screening and selection techniques were utilized to isolate PTE variants from randomized libraries and site specific modifications. The catalytic activities of these newly identified PTE variants toward the SP-enantiomers of chromophoric analogues of GB, GD, GF, VX, and VR have been improved up to 15000-fold relative to that of the wild-type enzyme. The X-ray crystal structures of the best PTE variants were determined. Characterization of these mutants with the authentic G-type nerve agents has confirmed the expected improvements in catalytic activity against the most toxic enantiomers of GB, GD, and GF. The values of kcat/Km for the H257Y/L303T (YT) mutant for the hydrolysis of GB, GD, and GF were determined to be 2 × 106, 5 × 105, and 8 × 105 M-1 s-1, respectively. The YT mutant is the most proficient enzyme reported thus far for the detoxification of G-type nerve agents. These results support a combinatorial strategy of rational design and directed evolution as a powerful tool for the discovery of more efficient enzymes for the detoxification of organophosphate nerve agents.

This study quantifies the epistemic uncertainty in the species distribution modeling, which is generated by spatio-temporal gaps between the biogeographical data, model selection and model complexity. Epistemic uncertainty is generally given by the sum of subjective and objective uncertainty. The subjective uncertainty generated by the modeler-choice in the manipulation of the environmental variables was analyzed. The Snowy Plover in Florida (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus, SP), a residential shorebird whose geographic range is extended along the Panhandle-Big Bend-Peninsula Gulf coast was considered as case-study. The first fundamental step for studying the species distribution and how it will be affected by climate change is to obtain an accurate description of the shorebird coastal habitat. The land-cover was translated into ecosystem classes using a land-cover model that predicts the evolution of coastal ecosystems affected by sea-level rise scenarios. The best land-cover map decreased the objective uncertainty (intrinsically present in data or models) in representing the spatial structure of the coastal ecosystem, reduced the temporal gaps with the occurrence data, and diminished the subjective uncertainty due to the conversion from land-cover to model-classes. Multimodeling was performed to reduce the uncertainty in the prediction of the species distribution related to model uncertainty. The best representation of the species distribution was performed by MaxEnt. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the omission/commission test, the similarity index of the response curves, and the jackknife test were used simultaneously as indicators of the predictability of each species distribution model. The availability of updated high-resolution biogeoclimatological data was proven to be necessary in order to properly predict the species ranges for conservation purposes.

In this model, failure-initiation criteria and damage evolution laws are introduced to account for the major fiber-failure modes (tensile, compressive, punch shear and crush loading). In addition, two matrices related failure modes (in-plane shear and through the thickness delamination) are also accounted for. These types of fiber and matrix failure modes are commonly observed during a ballistic event. The composite-material model has been implemented within LS-DYNA as a user-defined material subroutine and used successfully to predict the damage and ballistic behavior of composite laminates subjected to various ballistic impact conditions. It is hoped that the availability of this material model will help facilitate the development of composite structures with enhanced ballistic survivability.

This paper discusses a novel nanopatterning technique to explore defect reduction in CdTe epitaxy on (211)Si. Nanopatterning of full 3″ (211)Si wafers was done by growing a thin layer of thermal SiO2 and patterning by molecular transfer lithography (MxL) based on water-soluble templates. Conditions for obtaining selective Ge and CdTe were obtained in the temperature range of 575-675 °C and 505-520 °C respectively. X-ray analysis of thin CdTe films grown on these substrates gave wider full-width half-maximum (FWHM) values when compared to the layers grown on blanket (non-patterned) (211)Si, which is attributed to some patterning defects and spurious nucleation on oxide side walls.

The analysis is based on over 120 000 human classified signals compiled from seven different datasets. The study implements linear and Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) support vector machines (SVM) to classify blast sounds. Using the orthogonal centroid dimension reduction technique, intuition is developed about the distribution of blast and non-blast feature vectors in high dimensional space. Recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) is then used to eliminate features containing redundant information and rank features according to their ability to separate blasts from non-blasts. Finally, the accuracy of the linear and RBF SVM classifiers is listed for each of the experiments in the dataset, and the weights are given for the linear SVM classifier.

A two pronged approach is being undertaken at ARL using II-VI semiconductor materials. The first encompasses the well developed IR material system HgCdTe but grown on large area, extremely lattice mismatched Si(112) substrates. To overcome the high dislocation density associated with the large mismatch within the as-grown material, ARL has successfully pursued a postgrowth thermal cycle annealing (TCA) process to reduce the dislocation density by an order of magnitude. Current results show HgCdTe/Si material can consistently be achieved with dislocation density values on the order of 1 × 106 cm−2. The second approach involves developing HgCdSe material using lattice matched, large area, and commercially available III-V substrates, specifically GaSb. Preliminary results indicate that quality HgCdSe growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) can be achieved and that the bandgap of the material can be controlled through the Cd/Se ratio of fluxes used during growth.

These two papers cover the modeling of power flow in HEVs, the mathematical background of optimization in energy management in HEVs, a machine learning framework that combines dynamic programming (DP) with machine learning to learn about roadway-type- and traffic-congestion-level-specific energy optimization, machine learning algorithms, and real-time quasi-optimal control of energy flow in an HEV. This first paper presents our research on machine learning for optimal energy management in HEVs. We will present a machine learning framework ML_EMO_HEV developed for the optimization of energy management in an HEV, machine learning algorithms for predicting driving environments, and the generation of an optimal power split for a given driving environment. Experiments are conducted based on a simulated Ford Escape Hybrid vehicle model provided by Argonne National Laboratory's Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). Based on the experimental results on the test data, we can conclude that the neural networks trained under the ML_EMO_HEV framework are effective in predicting roadway type and traffic congestion levels, predicting driving trends, and learning optimal engine speed and optimal battery power from DP.

Acetone solution of HMX and a polymeric binder was spray-dried using a commercially available spray dryer equipped with a compressed gas nozzle. During spray drying both ingredients precipitated simultaneously under high degrees of supersaturation, conditions necessary for small crystal size. The product was characterized using focused ion beam coupled scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We found that ~1μm composite granules were formed comprised of sub-100nm HMX crystals dispersed in the binder matrix. γ and δ polymorphs of HMX were found in the product. Due to its simplicity, the spray drying method lends itself to facile production of bulk quantities of a variety of nanocomposite energetics.

This is illustrated through high resolution modeling of waves, surge, and runup on the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu and Kauai. A series of hurricane waves and water levels were computed using the SWAN+ADCIRC models for a suite of 643 synthetic storm scenarios, while local wave runup was evaluated along a series of 1D transects using the phase-resolving model Bouss1D. Waves are found to be an extremely important component of the inundation, both from breaking wave forced increases in storm surge and also from wave runup over the relatively steep topography. This is clear in comparisons with debris lines left by Hurricane Iniki on the Island of Kauai, where runup penetration is much greater than still water inundation in most instances. The difference between steeply-sloping and gently-sloping topographies was demonstrated by recomputing Iniki with the same landfall location as Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. Surge was greatly increased for the mild-slope Iniki-in-Louisiana case, while pure wind surge for Iniki-in-Kauai was very small. For the entire suite of storms, maxima on Kauai show predicted inundation largely confined to a narrow coastal strip, with few locations showing more than a few hundred meters of flooding from the shoreline. As expected, maximum flooded areas for the 643 storms were somewhat greater than the Iniki inundation. Oahu has significantly more low-lying land compared to Kauai, and consequently hypothetical tropical cyclone landfalls show much more widespread inundation. Under direct impact scenarios, there is the potential for much of Honolulu and most of Waikiki to be inundated, with both still water surge and wave runup contributing. Other regions of Oahu show inundation confined to a more narrow coastal strip, although there is still much infrastructure at risk. Even for very strong storms in Oahu and Kauai, maximum still water surge is relatively small, and does not exceed 3m in any storm modeled. In contrast, hurricane waves several kilometers from shore regularly exceed 10m due to the lack of a continental shelf.

The solver's effectiveness and accuracy are carefully evaluated for one-dimensional surfaces by comparing Monte Carlo scattering results to those from a surface integral equation (SIE) approach for various surface parameters and incidence angles. It is demonstrated that satisfactory results can be attained at near-grazing angles for most surface parameters of interest with a relatively small simulation domain size, independent of the incidence angle. Subsequently, FDTD simulations of two-dimensional terrain surfaces are featured, along with a demonstration of the effects of ground clutter on target imaging generated by the time-reversal technique. By providing a practical full-wave simulation framework for the emulation of forward-looking radar operation and imaging, this study is intended to facilitate ongoing investigations into the detectability of discrete ground targets in the presence of distributed variable ground clutter in the near-grazing regime.

The influence of different metal centers of the connector was evaluated. For particular IRMOF-1 clusters, used small IRMOF-1(Zn) fragments are reported to have higher binding affinity than such components of IRMOF-1(Be), and their interactions with TATP are favored compared with the RDX systems. The binding efficiency is also influenced by the presence of linkers. One benzene linker connected with a Be-O-C cluster was found to have the lowest binding energy for the target molecules when compared with larger fragments containing more linkers. Binding with IRMOF-1 fragments leads to polarization of RDX and TATP. The said effect is found to be larger for the TATP systems.

However, precisely which candidate genes are associated with the family environment is largely unknown. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Results provide some evidence that three genes of the dopaminergic system (Dopamine D2 receptor gene [DRD2], Dopamine D4 receptor gene [DRD4], and Dopamine transporter gene [DAT1]) are associated with variation in measures of maternal negativity, paternal negativity, and childhood maltreatment for Caucasian males. We speak to what these findings mean for criminological theory and research that focuses on family socialization as an important factor in the etiology of crime and related antisocial behaviors.

The data were collected during the March 2006 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Arctic field campaign utilizing the NASA P-3B aircraft. The campaign consisted of an initial series of coordinated surface and aircraft measurements over Elson Lagoon, Alaska and adjacent seas followed by a series of large-scale (100 km \times 50 km) coordinated aircraft and AMSR-E snow depth measurements over portions of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. This paper focuses on the latter part of the campaign. The P-3B aircraft carried the University of Colorado Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR-A), the NASA Wallops Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) lidar altimeter, and the University of Kansas Delay-Doppler (D2P) radar altimeter. The PSR-A was used as an AMSR-E simulator, whereas the ATM and D2P altimeters were used in combination to provide an independent estimate of snow depth. Results of a comparison between the altimeter-derived snow depths and the equivalent AMSR-E snow depths using PSR-A brightness temperatures calibrated relative to AMSR-E are presented. Data collected over a frozen coastal polynya were used to intercalibrate the ATM and D2P altimeters before estimating an altimeter snow depth. Results show that the mean difference between the PSR and altimeter snow depths is -2.4 cm (PSR minus altimeter) with a standard deviation of 7.7 cm. The RMS difference is 8.0 cm. The overall correlation between the two snow depth data sets is 0.59.

T1 - Multi-agent differential graphical games: Online adaptive learning solution for synchronization with optimality JO - Automatica JF - Automatica Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 48 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1598 EP - 1611 SN - 00051098 AB - Abstract: Multi-agent systems arise in several domains of engineering and can be used to solve problems which are difficult for an individual agent to solve. Strategies for team decision problems, including optimal control, -player games (-infinity control and non-zero sum), and so on are normally solved for off-line by solving associated matrix equations such as the coupled Riccati equations or coupled Hamilton–Jacobi equations. However, using that approach players cannot change their objectives online in real time without calling for a completely new off-line solution for the new strategies. Therefore, in this paper we bring together cooperative control, reinforcement learning, and game theory to present a multi-agent formulation for the online solution of team games. The notion of graphical games is developed for dynamical systems, where the dynamics and performance indices for each node depend only on local neighbor information. It is shown that standard definitions for Nash equilibrium are not sufficient for graphical games and a new definition of “Interactive Nash Equilibrium” is given. We give a cooperative policy iteration algorithm for graphical games that converges to the best response when the neighbors of each agent do not update their policies, and to the cooperative Nash equilibrium when all agents update their policies simultaneously. This is used to develop methods for online adaptive learning solutions of graphical games in real time along with proofs of stability and convergence.

In such a battery, the cathode consists of a highly porous carbon cloth (CC) as the cathode current collector and a porous sulfur paper as the source of active material. In the first discharge, sulfur is reduced on the CC surface into high order lithium polysulfide (PS), which dissolves into liquid electrolyte and serves as the catholyte of the so-called “Li/S liquid battery”. By adopting a LiNO3-contained electrolyte to protect Li anode, the Li/S liquid cell is shown to cycle reversibly between 1.7 V and 2.8 V with an initial capacity of 778 mAh g−1 S, corresponding to a capacity density of 10.1 mAh cm−2 CC, which could be the highest capacity density among the rechargeable Li/S batteries reported ever. This work reveals that the high capacity density Li/S batteries can be made through a “Li/S liquid cell” by employing a highly porous carbon electrode to accommodate the insoluble sulfur reduction products (Li2S2/Li2S) with appropriate protection of the Li anode.

We call such crystals nonpersistent, to distinguish them from snow crystals that persist within the snowpack for weeks or even months. Nonpersistent crystals can form weak layers or interfaces that are common sources of failure for avalanches. The anticrack fracture model emphasizes collapse and predicts that triggering is almost independent of slope angle, but this prediction has only been tested on persistent weak layers. In this study, dozens of stability tests show that both nonpersistent and persistent crystals collapse during failure, and that slope angle does not affect triggering (although slope angle determines whether collapse leads to an avalanche). Our findings suggest that avalanches in storm snow and persistent weak layers share the same failure mechanism described by the anticrack model, with collapse providing the fracture energy. Manual hardness measurements and near-infrared measurements of grain size sometimes showed thin weak layers of softer and larger crystals in storm snow, but often showed failures at interfaces marked by softer layers above and harder layers below. We suggest collapse often occurs in crystals at the bottom of the slab. Planar crystals such as sectored plates were often found in failure layers, suggesting they are especially prone to collapse.

The extract also had radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical with an EC50 value of 12.0μg/ml. The isoflav-3-enes burttinol-A and burttinol-C, and the 2-arylbenzofuran derivative burttinol-D were identified as the most active antiplasmodial (IC50 <10μM) and free radical scavenging (EC50 ca. 10μM) principles. The acetone extract of E. burttii at 800mg/kg/day, in a 4-day Plasmodium berghei ANKA suppressive test, showed in vivo antimalarial activity with 52% chemosuppression. In the same in vivo test, marginal activities were also observed for the extracts of the root and stem bark of Erythrina abyssinica and the root bark of Erythrina sacleuxii.

The hemin supported on carbon black was heat-treated (HT), and subjected to additional ultrasound treatments to increase the BET surface area and available active sites for the ORR. The HT hemin supported on carbon black was characterized with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and BET surface area analysis. The catalytic activity of the synthesized electrocatalysts was analyzed with cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disk electrode (RDE), and rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE). The effect of BET surface area on formal potential, anodic and cathodic peak currents, limiting currents, half wave potentials, and kinetic rate constant for ORR were studied. We found an apparent correlation between catalytic activity and BET surface area for this particular catalyst. Increasing BET surface area, the ORR catalytic activity increases significantly. Our research on HT hemin indicates that the catalytic activity for ORR significantly improves by reducing the particle size and increasing the surface area.

One version of this problem requires that processes within distance two of each other have different colors. This is known as the distance-2 coloring problem. We present a self-stabilizing algorithm for this problem that uses memory on each node and that stabilizes in time steps for any scheduler (synchronous or asynchronous) using at most colors, where is the maximum degree in the graph and is the number of edges in the graph. The analysis holds true for both the sequential and distributed adversarial daemon models. This should be compared with the previous best self-stabilizing algorithm for this problem which stabilizes in moves under the sequential adversarial daemon and in time steps for the distributed adversarial daemon and which uses memory on each node , where is the number of nodes in the graph and is the degree of node .

The electrochemical behavior of these molecules was investigated employing cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronocoulometry (CC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiometric stripping analysis (PSA). After optimization of analytical conditions employing this electrode at pH 5.0 in acetate buffer (0.1M), the peak currents were found to vary linearly with its concentration in the range of 1.55×10−9 to 3.67×10−6 M and 1.21×10−9 to 4.92×10−6 M for MP and EP, respectively. The detection limits (S/N=3) of 4.70×10−10 M and 3.67×10−10 M were obtained for MP and EP, respectively, using PSA. The prepared modified electrode showed several advantages such as simple preparation method, high sensitivity, very low detection limits and excellent reproducibility. The proposed method was employed for the determination of MP and EP in fruits, vegetables, water and soil samples.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/07/17/ VL - 46 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 7790 EP - 7798 SN - 0013936X AB - Interspecies uncertainty factors in ecological risk assessment provide conservative estimates of risk where limited or no toxicity data is available. We quantitatively examined the validity of interspecies uncertainty factors by comparing the responses of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to the energetic compound 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a known neurotoxicant. Relative toxicity was measured through transcriptional, morphological, and behavioral end points in zebrafish and fathead minnow fry exposed for 96 h to RDX concentrations ranging from 0.9 to 27.7 mg/L. Spinal deformities and lethality occurred at 1.8 and 3.5 mg/L RDX respectively for fathead minnow and at 13.8 and 27.7 mg/L for zebrafish, indicating that zebrafish have an 8-fold greater tolerance for RDX than fathead minnow fry. The number and magnitude of differentially expressed transcripts increased with increasing RDX concentration for both species. Differentially expressed genes were enriched in functions related to neurological disease, oxidative-stress, acute-phase response, vitamin/mineral metabolism and skeletal/muscular disorders. Decreased expression of collagen-coding transcripts were associated with spinal deformity and likely involved in sensitivity to RDX. Our work provides a mechanistic explanation for species-specific sensitivity to RDX where zebrafish responded at lower concentrations with greater numbers of functions related to RDX tolerance than fathead minnow. While the 10-fold interspecies uncertainty factor does provide a reasonable cross-species estimate of toxicity in the present study, the observation that the responses between ZF and FHM are markedly different does initiate a call for concern regarding establishment of broad ecotoxicological conclusions based on model species such as zebrafish.

Direct analysis of the molecules from the flower petal is enabled by interfacing intense (1013 W/cm2), nonresonant, femtosecond laser vaporization at ambient pressure with electrospray ionization for postionization of the vaporized analytes. The observed mass spectral signatures allowed for the discrimination of various phenotypes using principal component analysis (PCA) and either linear discriminant analysis (LDA) or K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifiers. Cross-validation was performed using multiple training sets to evaluate the predictive ability of the classifiers, which showed 93.7% and 96.8% overall accuracies for the LDA and KNN classifiers, respectively. Linear combinations of significant mass spectral features were extracted from the PCA loading plots, demonstrating the capability to discover potential biomarkers from the direct analysis of tissue samples.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2012/07/18/ VL - 134 IS - 28 M3 - Article SP - 11430 EP - 11443 SN - 00027863 AB - Using dynamic combinatorial chemistry, mixtures of dipeptide monomers were combined to probe how the structural elements of a family of self-assembled [2]-catenanes affect their equilibrium stability versus competing noncatenated structures. Of particular interest were experiments to target the effects of CH-πinteractions, interring hydrogen bonds, and β-turn types on [2]-catenane energetics. The nonvariant core of the [2]-catenane was shown only to adopt type II' and type VIII turns at the β-2 and β-4 positions, respectively. Monomers were designed to delineate how these factors contribute to [2]-catenane equilibrium speciation/stability. Dipeptide turn adaptation studies, including threecomponent dynamic self-assembly experiments, suggested that stability losses are localized to the mutated sites, and that the turn types for the core β-2 and β-4 positions, type II' and type VIII, respectively, cannot be modified. Mutagenesis studies on the core Aib residue involved in a seemingly key CH-π-CH sandwich reported on how CH-π interactions and inter-ring hydrogen bonds affect stability. The interacting methyl group of Aib could be replaced with a range of alkyl and aryl substituents with monotonic affects on stability, though polar heteroatoms were disproportionately destabilizing. The importance of a key crossring H-bond was also probed by examining an Aib for L-PrO variant. Inductive affects and the effect of CH donor multiplicity on the core proline-π interaction also demonstrated that electronegative substituents and the number of CH donors can enhance the effectiveness of a CH-π interaction. These data were interpreted using a cooperative binding model wherein multiple noncovalent interactions create a web of interdependent interactions. In some cases, changes to a component of the web lead to compensating effects in the linked interactions, while in others, the perturbations create a cascade of destabilizing interactions that lead to disproportionate losses in stability.

Five different combinations of monomers were studied by X-ray crystallography. In each case, the unique aryl glycine unit is located in the core of the structure where the aryl ring templates a CH-π-CH sandwich. Analysis of metrical parameters indicates that this core region is highly conserved, while the more peripheral zones are flexible. 1H NMR spectroscopy indicate that the solid-state structures are largely retained in solution, though several non-C2-symmetric compounds have a net C2-symmetry that indicates accessible dynamic processes. Catenane dynamic processes were additionally probed through H/D exchange, with the core being inflexible relative to the peripheral structure. Mass spectrometry was utilized to identify the constitutional isomerism in the minor asymmetric [1523] catenanes.

An evaluation of critical grain size for transition of deformation mode from twinning to slip was carried out by employing tensile and compressive tests. The role of critical grain size in transition of deformation behavior from strain hardening to softening was established. Inhomogeneous yielding was observed during tensile test of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloy below the critical grain size.

More specifically, techniques are needed to determine the size and concentration of ENPs in a variety of complex matrices. Furthermore, data should be collected at environmentally and toxicologically relevant concentrations. Both single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) and asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4) ICP-MS offer substantial advantages for detecting ENPs and assessing many of the above parameters in complex matrices over traditional characterization methods such as microscopy, light scattering, and filtration. In this study, we compared the ability of two emerging techniques to detect well characterized, monodisperse silver ENPs and examined their overall applicability to environmental studies specifically with respect to their: (A) size and concentration detection limits, (B) resolution and (C) multi-form elemental analysis. We find that in terms of concentration detection limit (both, on a mass basis and particle number basis) SP-ICP-MS was considerably more sensitive than AF4-ICP-MS (ng L−1vs.μg L−1, respectively), and offers the unique ability to differentiate dissolved and nanoparticulate fractions of total metal. With a variety of optimization parameters possible, AF4-ICP-MS can detect a much smaller NP size (2 nm vs. 20 nm for SP-ICP-MS), provides the possibility for greater size resolution.

JO - Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health JF - Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 66 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 0143005X AB - Background There is a substantial variation in life expectancy across US counties, primarily owing to differentials in chronic diseases. The authors' aim was to examine the association of life expectancy and mortality from selected diseases with altitude. Methods The authors used data from the National Elevation Dataset, National Center for Heath Statistics and US Census. The authors analysed the crude association of mean county altitude with life expectancy and mortality from ischaemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cancers, and adjusted the associations for sociodemographic factors, migration, average annual solar radiation and cumulative exposure to smoking in multivariable regressions. Results Counties above 1500 m had longer life expectancies than those within 100 m of sea level by 1.2-3.6 years for men and 0.5-2.5 years for women. The association between altitude and life expectancy became non-significant for women and non-significant or negative for men in multivariate analysis. After adjustment, altitude had a beneficial association with IHD mortality and harmful association with COPD, with a dose-response relationship. IHD mortality above 1000 m was 4-14 per 10 000 people lower than within 100 m of sea level; COPD mortality was higher by 3-4 per 10 000. The adjusted associations for stroke and cancers were not statistically significant. Conclusions Living at higher altitude may have a protective effect on IHD and a harmful effect on COPD. At least in part due to these two opposing effects, living at higher altitude appears to have no net effect on life expectancy.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 31 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1438 EP - 1444 SN - 07307268 AB - Rapid advances are being made in the creation and use of nanomaterials, but little is known about the impact these materials might have on key microbial functions if introduced into the environment. Previous studies have generated conflicting results with respect to the impact of fullerenes on microbial activity. In the present study, Salmonella typhimurium TA100 was selected as a model microbial system with which to investigate further the impact of C60 aggregates on microbial growth, mutagenicity, and global transcript expression. Aggregates of C60 predominantly less than 100 nm significantly impacted Salmonella growth at concentrations of ≥0.5 mg/L. In addition, C60 aggregates also displayed mutagenic potential at concentrations ≥0.1 mg/L. Transcript expression analysis of S. typhimurium TA100 exposed to C60 for 24 h indicated that 271 transcripts had significant differential expression relative to controls with twofold or more change. Of particular interest was the increased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in energy metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, transcription, and DNA metabolism, and the decreased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in protein fate, transport, and binding and bacterial secretion systems. Collectively, these data indicate that C60 interacts with the outer membrane of S. typhimurium TA100, resulting in delayed growth and mutagenicity, most likely by interfering with key transport functions and inducing a stress response, respectively.

Four experiments were conducted, two in a temperate climate with a hilly terrain and two in a desert climate with a flat terrain, under a variety of meteorological conditions. Sound levels were recorded in three different directions around the source during the summer and winter seasons in each location. Testing occurred over the course of several days for each experiment during all 24 h of the day, and meteorological data were gathered throughout each experiment. The peak levels (LPk), C-weighted sound exposure levels (CSEL), and spectral characteristics of the received sound pressure levels were analyzed. The results show high variability in LPk and CSEL at distances beyond 2 km from the source for each experiment, which was not clearly explained by the time of day the blasts occurred. Also, as expected, higher frequency energy is attenuated more drastically than the lower frequency energy as the distance from the source increases. These data serve as a reference for long-distance blast sound propagation.

The conversion of JP-8 to hydrogen offers an energy dense feedstock for hydrogen production through fuel reformation. Unfortunately, organic sulfur compounds in logistical fuels, even at part per million levels, can poison reformer and fuel cell catalysts. In this work, adsorbents based on silica supported gold ions and gold nanoparticles were synthesized and evaluated for the adsorptive desulfurization of JP-8 jet fuel. The adsorbents were evaluated with JP-8 fuel containing 430 ppmw sulfur under ambient conditions. The preparation, as well as the sulfur removal and adsorption characteristics for two adsorbents are described in this work.

One of the most prominent shortcomings is an absence of theories that can effectively explain the factors that shape the counterterrorism policies of democratic regimes. The present study attempts to fill this theoretical void in two ways. First, it proposes an analytical framework for a classification of counterterrorism policies. Second, it presents a theoretical framework that strives to uncover the factors that have influenced the struggle against domestic terrorism in democratic regimes. The analyses, which have used a unique and comprehensive dataset that documents counterterrorism policies in eighty-three democracies, show that the robustness of the regime's democratic foundations as well as the symbolic effect of terrorism are major forces in shaping the democratic response to it, while the direct impact of terrorism is less influential than assumed in the literature.

The given robust fault detection scheme based on the discontinuous robust observer approach would be able to distinguish between model uncertainties and actuator failures and therefore eliminate the problem of false alarms. Since the proposed approach involves estimating sensor faults, it can also be used for sensor fault identification and the reconstruction of true outputs from faulty sensor outputs. Simulation results presented here validate the effectiveness of the proposed robust FDI system.

JO - Journal of Molecular Modeling JF - Journal of Molecular Modeling Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 18 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 3363 EP - 3378 SN - 16102940 AB - The influence of different sorption sites of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) on interactions with explosive molecules is investigated. Different connector effects are taken into account by choosing IRMOF-1(Be) (IRMOF-1 with Zn replaced by Be), and two high explosive molecules: 1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine (RDX) and triacetone triperoxide (TATP). The key interaction features (structural, electronic and energetic) of selected contaminants were analyzed by means of density functional calculations. The interaction of RDX and TATP with different IRMOF-1(Be) fragments is studied. The results show that physisorption is favored and occurs due to hydrogen bonding, which involves the C-H groups of both molecules and the carbonyl oxygen atoms of IRMOF-1(Be). Additional stabilization of RDX and TATP arises from weak electrostatic interactions. Interaction with IRMOF-1(Be) fragments leads to polarization of the target molecules. Of the molecular configurations we have studied, the Be-O-C cluster connected with six benzene linkers (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, BDC), possesses the highest binding energy for the studied explosives (-16.4 kcal mol for RDX and -12.9 kcal mol for TATP). The main difference was discovered to be in the preferable adsorption site for adsorbates (RDX above the small and TATP placed above the big cage). Based on these results, IRMOF-1 can be suggested as an effective material for storage and also for separation of similar explosives. Hydration destabilizes most of the studied adsorption systems by 1-3 kcal mol but it leads to the same trend in the binding strength as found for the non-hydrated complexes.

The thiadiazole was known to give a good yield of [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine, whereas the oxadiazole had not yielded, until now, [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine (or furazano[2,3- b]pyrazine). The calculations suggested that the diols, 5,6-dihydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine and 5,6-dihydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine should be stable intermediates, and once formed, should provide a pathway to the target compounds via two dehydration steps, under forcing conditions. With this information in mind, the reactions of 3,4-diamino[1,2,5]oxadiazole with glyoxal and pyruvic aldehyde were re-examined. The reaction of 3,4-diamino[1,2,5]oxadiazole with glyoxal and pyruvic aldehyde produced, under slightly basic conditions, a near quantitative yield of the expected initial products, 5,6-dihydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine and the 5-methyl analog, respectively. The diols were easily isolated by lyophilizing the aqueous reaction mixture. The diols were pyrolized on silica gel at 160°C to give the desired [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine and the 5-methyl analog. Both compounds were easily reduced to the corresponding 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-derivative using sodium borohydride in THF/methanol. The [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4- b]pyrazine also displayed other interesting chemistry.

The LiDAR imagery clearly delineates active normal faults that have displaced late Pleistocene glacial moraines and Holocene alluvium along 30 km of linear, right-stepping range front of the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone. Herein, we illustrate and describe the tectonic geomorphology of faulted lateral moraines. We have developed new, three-dimensional modeling techniques that utilize the high-resolution LiDAR data to determine tectonic displacements of moraine crests and alluvium. The statistically robust displacement models combined with new ages of the displaced Tioga (20.8 ± 1.4 ka) and Tahoe (69.2 ± 4.8 ka; 73.2 ± 8.7 ka) moraines are used to estimate the minimum vertical separation rate at 17 sites along the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone. Near the northern end of the study area, the minimum vertical separation rate is 1.5 ± 0.4 mm/yr, which represents a two- to threefold increase in estimates of seismic moment for the Lake Tahoe basin. From this study, we conclude that potential earthquake moment magnitudes (Mw) range from 6.3 ± 0.25 to 6.9 ± 0.25. A close spatial association of landslides and active faults suggests that landslides have been seismically triggered. Our study underscores that the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone poses substantial seismic and landslide hazards.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 51 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 00913286 AB - There is a need to develop miniature optical tunable filters for small hyperspectral imagers. We plan to develop a number of miniature Fabry-Perot tunable filters (FPTFs) using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, each operating over a different wavelength region, to cover spectral regions from the visible to the longwave infrared (IR). Use of a MEMS-based FPTF as a dispersive element will reduce the size, weight, and power requirements of hyperspectral imagers and make them less expensive. A key requirement for such a filter is a large optical aperture. Recently, we succeeded in fabricating FPTFs with a 6 mm optical aperture operating in the visible to near IR spectral region (400 to 800 nm) using commercially available thin quartz wafers as the substrate. The FPTF design contains one fixed silver (Ag) mirror and one electrostatically movable Ag mirror, each grown on a quartz substrate with a low total thickness variation. Gold (Au) bumps are used to control the initial air gap distance between the two mirrors, and Au-Au bonding is used to bond the device. We describe material selection, device design, modeling, fabrication, interferometric, and spectral characterizations.

(2011) Backfire: Behavioral Decision Making and the Strategic Risks of Successful Surprise. Foreign Policy Analysis, doi: 10.1111/j.1743-8594.2011.00165.x States attempting surprise attacks usually achieve tactical success in catching an opponent unprepared. Many studies of surprise do not look beyond the opening bolt from the blue to examine the impact of surprise based on the broader strategic objectives. A comparative case study of centrally planned surprise attacks from 1950 to 1990 suggests that surprise rarely achieves strategic ends. They did not deter the targets from military action, and more surprisingly, did not contribute to less deadly wars. This runs counter to conventional beliefs about surprise, since attacks are supposed to impair a target's desire or ability to mount a military response. Instead, the most damaging surprises are followed by particularly bloody conflict, a phenomenon referred to here as backfire. The article examines a number of possible strategic explanations for this empirical pattern and ultimately concludes that behavioral decision-making processes characterized by prospect theory offer the best possible explanation. An increased propensity for risk, resulting from the losses suffered during a large surprise, drives target military reaction despite the lower likelihood of success.

In particular, these equalization algorithms address the communications scenario in which the channel or the prior information on the transmitted symbols may be time varying. The latter case of time-varying priors is especially pertinent for turbo equalization, on which we focus here. We first consider a 1D sliding-window equalizer based on a Cholesky-factorization update and then generalize this approach to the 2D case. Finally, we develop a 2D equalizer that is based on a recursive matrix-inverse update. We summarize each of these algorithms and describe their computational complexities.

Arsenite [As(III)] can be oxidized to arsenate [As(V)] by both minerals and microbes in soil however, the interaction between these abiotic and biotic processes is not well understood. In this study, the time dependency of As(III) oxidation by two heterotrophic soil bacteria (Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and a poorly crystalline manganese (Mn) oxide mineral (δ-MnO2) was determined using batch experiments. The apparent rate of As(V) appearance in solution was greater for the combined batch experiments in which bacteria and δ-MnO2 were oxidizing As(III) at the same time than for either component alone. The additive effect of the mixed cell-δ-MnO2 system was consistent for short (<1 h) and long (24 h) term coincubation indicating that mineral surface inhibition by cells has little effect the As(III) oxidation rate. Surface interactions between cells and the mineral surface were indicated by sorption and pH-induced desorption results. Total sorption of As on the mineral was lower with bacteria present (16.1 ± 0.8% As sorbed) and higher with δ-MnO2 alone (23.4 ± 1%) and As was more easily desorbed from the cell-δ-MnO2 system than from δ-MnO2 alone. Therefore, the presence of bacteria inhibited As sorption and decreased the stability of sorbed As on δ-MnO2 even though As(III) was oxidized fastest in a mixed cell-δ-MnO2 system. The additive effect of biotic (As-oxidizing bacteria) and abiotic (δ-MnO2 mineral) oxidation processes in a system containing both oxidants suggests that mineral-only results may underestimate the oxidative capacity of natural systems with biotic and abiotic As(III) oxidation pathways.

A second laser, propagating through the Rb vapor orthogonal to the intracavity beam, is used to modify the optical transmission of the Rb vapor. We demonstrate that the cavity scale factor may be switched from S > 1, on one side of its pole along the gain axis, to the other side of the pole, where mode splitting occurs, simply by changing the pumping transition. Continuous tuning of the cavity scale factor and sensitivity may be realized by varying the intensity and/or frequency of the pump beam.

However, burning excess propellant in the field will leave significant quantities of energetic residues and heavy metals in the environment. Compounds such as dinitrotoluene and nitroglycerin and metals such as lead will leach into the soil column, eventually migrating to groundwater. Contamination of the environment will lead to high remediation costs and the possible loss of the training facility. After investigating the contamination at several propellant disposal sites, a portable propellant burn pan was developed and tested. The pan was transported to training sites where excess propellant was loaded and burned in a controlled manner. Up to 120kg of excess single-base propellant charges have been burned during two series of tests at a consumption rate of greater than 99.9%. Less than 0.03% of the energetic material was recovered outside the burn pan. Recovered lead is largely contained within the pan. The turnover rate for burns is 15min. The residues can be collected following cool-down for proper disposal.

The total conductivity value for dense tetragonal LLZO is ∼2.3×10−5 Scm−1. This is the highest reported value for tetragonal LLZO. This vast improvement in total conductivity is a result of the higher density achieved as a result of hot-pressing compared to conventional solid-state sintering. The value of the Li-ion lattice conductivity for dense tetragonal LLZO is 1.1×10−4 Scm−1. The microstructure of dense tetragonal LLZO consist of twins within the grains. It is suggested that the presence of twin boundaries adds a significant contribution to the total resistance.

Data on mass versus time were measured, and a sublimation rate was calculated. Three cylinders of different diameters were used: 1 inch (2.54 cm), 1.5 inch (3.81 cm), and 2 inch (5.08 cm). The length of all three cylinders was 10 in. (25.4 cm). Calculations indicate that the Schmidt number was constant. The Sherwood number ranged from 23 to 26, and Rayleigh numbers varied from 11 × 10 to 88 × 10. The objective of this study was to develop a correlation for determining the mass transfer coefficient of vertically suspended paradichlorobenzene cylinders in a natural convection environment. An equation relating Sherwood and Rayleigh numbers was derived.

Although previous studies evaluated cytokine levels after trauma, differences between patients with burn and non-burn trauma have not been assessed systematically. Methods: A prospective database of trauma patients admitted between May 2004 and September 2007 to the burn or surgical intensive care units within 24h of injury with an anticipated stay of at least 72h was analyzed. Sequential clinical and laboratory parameters were collected in the first week, including multiplex analysis data for plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, and IL-8). Patients with known pre-injury coagulopathy were excluded. A Marshall score of 10 or greater was defined as MODS. Results: A total of 179 patients were enrolled (67 burn and 112 non-burn). Plasma IL-6 and IL-8 levels were markedly elevated in both burn and non-burn patients compared to healthy volunteers. Burn subjects had higher levels of IL-6 and IL-8 than the non-burn on days 1 through 7 after injury. Subjects with burns and at least 30% total body surface area were older and had a lower injury severity score, a higher prevalence of MODS, and correspondingly higher mortality. Multivariate analysis of injury type, MODS, and time did not demonstrate an influence of MODS. Conclusions: Burns were associated with a greater and more sustained immune-inflammatory response than non-burn trauma as evidenced by elevated plasma IL-6 and IL-8 levels during the first week. There was no association between MODS and plasma cytokine levels.

Three-component mean velocities were measured with conventional magnetic resonance velocimetry, while time-averaged concentration distributions were measured with a magnetic resonance concentration technique for flow at two Reynolds numbers ( Re) differing by a factor of 2, three blowing ratios, and with and without an internal pin fin array in the coolant feed channel. The results show that the flows are essentially independent of Re for the regime tested in terms of the film cooling surface effectiveness, normalized velocity profiles, and normalized mean streamwise vorticity. Blowing ratio changes had a larger effect, with higher blowing ratios resulting in surface effectiveness improvements at downstream locations. The addition of a pin fin array within the slot feed channel made the spanwise distribution of coolant at the surface more uniform. Results are compared with transonic experiments in air at realistic density ratios described by Holloway et al. .

These singular functions are typically associated with the nodes themselves as far as identification. The Complex Variable Boundary Element Method (CVBEM) is another application of similar types of singular potential functions and includes other functions that are not singular but are fundamental solutions of the governing partial differential equation (PDE). These various singular potential functions form a basis whose span of linear combinations (either real or complex space, as appropriate) is a vector space. As part of the approximation approach, one determines that element in the vector space that is closest (usually in a least squares residual measure) to the exact solution of the PDE and related boundary conditions. Recent research on the types of basis functions used in a BEM or CVBEM approximation has shown that considerable improvement in computational accuracy and efficiency can be achieved by optimizing the location of the singular basis functions with respect to possible locations on the problem boundary and also locations exterior of the problem boundary (in general, exterior of the problem domain). To develop such optimum locations for the modeling nodes (and associated singular basis functions), the approach presented in this paper is to develop a Real Time Boundary Element Node Location module that enables the program user to click and drag nodes (one at a time) throughout the exterior of the problem domain (that is, nodes are allowed to be positioned on or arbitrarily close to the problem boundary, and also to be positioned exterior of the problem domain union boundary). The provided module interfaces with the CVBEM program, built within computer program Mathematica, so that various types of information flows to the display module as the node is moved, in real time. The information displayed includes a graphic of the problem boundary and domain, the exterior of the domain union boundary, evaluation points used to represent problem boundary conditions, nodal locations, modeling error in L 2 and also L ∞ norms, and a plot of problem boundary conditions versus modeling estimates on the problem boundary to enable a visualization of closeness of fit of the model to the problem boundary conditions. As the target node is moved on the screen, these various information forms change and are displayed to the program user, enabling the user to quickly navigate the target node towards a preferred location. Once a node is established at some optimized location, another node can then be clicked upon and dragged to new locations, while reducing modeling error in the process.

The advantage in using the CVBEM over traditional domain methods such as finite difference or finite element based methods includes the properties that the resulting CVBEM approximation is a function: (i) defined throughout the entire plane, (ii) that is analytic throughout the problem domain and almost everywhere on the problem boundary and exterior of the problem domain union boundary; (iii) is composed of conjugate two-dimensional real variable functions that are both solutions to the Laplace equation and are orthogonal such as to provide the “flow net” of potential and stream functions, among many other features. In this paper, a procedure is advanced that locates CVBEM nodal point locations on and exterior of the problem boundary such that error in matching problem boundary conditions is reduced. That is, locating the nodal points is part of modeling optimization process, where nodes are not restricted to be located on the problem boundary (as is the typical case) but instead locations are optimized throughout the exterior of the problem domain as part of the modeling procedure. The presented procedure results in nodal locations that achieve considerable error reduction over the usual methods of placing nodes on the problem boundary such as at equally spaced locations or other such procedures. Because of the significant error reduction observed, the number of nodes needed in the model is significantly reduced. It is noted that similar results occur with the real variable boundary element method (or BEM). The CVBEM and relevant nodal location optimization algorithm is programmed to run on program Mathematica, which provides extensive internal modeling and output graphing capabilities, and considerable levels of computational accuracy. The Mathematica source code is provided.

We used ground-penetrating radar pulses, the brief time duration of which allowed different interfacial wave modes to separate. We tested rates in the intermediate range of tens of wavelengths, and for azimuthal and radial polarizations. For azimuthal polarization, a closed form solution predicts inverse range-squared rates, and for radial polarization, calculations suggest an inverse range exponent between 1 and 2. Over low loss frozen ground having a dielectric constant of 6.8 azimuthally polarized air waves centered at 46MHz attenuated nearly in proportion to the square of range, as predicted, while the radial rate at 37MHz was close to the 1.6 power of range, as generally expected. At 360–390MHz, air wave rates were higher than expected and likely caused by scattering losses. Three D time domain modeling at 37MHz confirmed the rate for azimuthal polarization and the qualitative difference in rates between the two polarizations, but the exponent may be about 26% too high for the radial case. Not readily extractable from Sommerfeld theory are rates for subsurface direct waves, for which our models show that both polarizations attenuate in proportion to the square of range after about 5 subsurface wavelengths. This suggests that geometric rates for all horizontally polarized subsurface interfacial waves spatially attenuate in proportion to range-squared in both intermediate and far field ranges, and so could be subtracted from actual rates to determine loss rates caused by intrinsic attenuation and scattering.

In addition to heat-treatment, two methods were used to improve the catalysts'' electrochemical activity. First, high surface area graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were chosen as a catalyst support. Second, ultrasound was used to break the catalyst samples into smaller pieces. Hemin supported on GNP and heat-treated at 600°C showed significantly higher catalytic activity than those without ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, a single fuel cell fabricated with the synthesized catalyst yielded a power density of 300mWcm−2.

We describe a new technique designed to process radar echograms from the University of Kansas snow radar to estimate snow depth. We combine IceBridge laser altimetry with radar-derived snow depths to determine sea ice thickness. Results are validated through comparison with direct measurements of snow and ice thickness collected in situ at the Danish GreenArc 2009 sea ice camp located on fast ice north of Greenland. The IceBridge instrument suite provides accurate measurements of snow and ice thickness, particularly over level ice. Mean IceBridge snow and ice thickness agree with in situ measurements to within ~ 0.01 and ~ 0.05 m, respectively, while modal snow and ice thickness estimates agree to within 0.02 and 0.10 m, respectively. IceBridge snow depths were correlated with in situ measurements (R = 0.7, for an averaging length of 55 m). The uncertainty associated with the derived IceBridge sea ice thickness estimates is 0.40 m. The results demonstrate the retrieval of both first-year and multiyear ice thickness from IceBridge data. The airborne data were however compromised in heavily ridged ice where snow depth, and hence ice thickness, could not be measured. Techniques developed as part of this study will be used for routine processing of IceBridge retrievals over Arctic sea ice. The limitations of the GreenArc study are discussed, and recommendations for future validation of airborne measurements via field activities are provided.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 51 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 SN - 00913286 AB - In the past five years, significant progress has been accomplished in the reduction of infrared detector pitch and detector size. Recently, longwave infrared (LWIR) detectors in limited quantities have been fabricated with a detector pitch of 5 µm. Detectors with 12-µm pitch are now becoming standard in both midwave infrared (MWIR) and LWIR sensors. Persistent surveillance systems are pursuing 10-µm detector pitch in large format arrays. The fundamental question that most system designers and detector developers desire an answer to is: "How small can you produce an infrared detector and still provide value in performance?" If a system is mostly diffraction-limited, then developing a smaller detector is of limited benefit. If a detector is so small that it does not collect enough photons to produce a good image, then a smaller detector is not much benefit. Resolution and signal-to-noise are the primary characteristics of an imaging system that contribute to targeting, pilotage, search, and other human warfighting task performance. We investigate the task of target discrimination range performance as a function of detector size/pitch. Results for LWIR and MWIR detectors are provided and depend on a large number of assumptions that are reasonable.

The objective of this study was to compare effects of co-administration of GGC and CLA to treatment with GGC alone on oxidative stress and GSH synthesis in human endothelial cells. Changes in levels of 8-epi-PGF2α, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), GSH, total antioxidants, GSH synthetase (GSS) expression, and transcription factor DNA binding were assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with GGC alone (100μmol/L) or combined with CLA isomer mixture (10, 50, 100μmol/L) for 24h. Significantly higher levels of TBARS, 8-epi-PGF2α, GSH, and GSS protein were found in cells treated with GGC and 10μmol/L CLA, compared to cells treated with GGC alone, indicative of prooxidant effects of CLA. Approximately 40% cell death was microscopically observed in cells incubated with GGC and 100μmol/L CLA. Despite lower levels of GSH, treatment with GGC and 50μmol/L CLA appeared to be protective from oxidative stress similar to treatment with GGC alone, as indicated by lower levels of TBARS, compared to control cells not treated with GGC and CLA.

T1 - Combined diazepam and HDAC inhibitor treatment protects against seizures and neuronal damage caused by soman exposure JO - NeuroToxicology JF - NeuroToxicology Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 33 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 500 EP - 511 SN - 0161813X AB - Abstract: The occurrence of status epilepticus (SE) is considered the main cause of brain lesions and morphological alterations, such as hippocampal neuron loss, that result in chronic epilepsy. Previous work demonstrated the convulsive and widespread neuropathological effects of soman, an organophosphorus compound that causes SE and severe recurrent seizures as a result of exposure. Seizures begin rapidly after exposure, can continue for hours, and contribute to prolonged physical incapacitation of the victim. This study attempts to identify anticonvulsive and neuroprotective drugs against soman exposure. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 1.0LD50 soman. EEGraphical and neuropathological (Fluoro-Jade B staining) effects were analyzed at 72h post-exposure to soman and subsequent treatments with diazepam (DZP) alone or in combination with histone deacetylase inhibitors, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) or valproic acid (VPA). The extent of brain damage was dependent on the length of SE and not on the number of recurrent seizures. DZP treatment alone decreased SE time and damage in hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus and cortex, but not in piriform nuclei. The combination of DZP and VPA 100mg/kg showed more anticonvulsive effects, decreased SE time, and afforded more neuroprotection in the hippocampus, mainly the ventral portion. The combination DZP and SAHA 25mg/kg was more neuroprotective, but not more anticonvulsant than DZP alone. The DZP combination with VPA HDAC inhibitor proved to be a good treatment for SE and neuronal damage caused by soman exposure.

Three classes of drugs, anticholinergics, benzodiazepines and excitatory amino acid (EAA) antagonists, have been shown to be effective at moderating nerve agent-induced seizures. However, little is known about which brain structures are involved in producing the anticonvulsant response. This study evaluated drugs from each class, injected directly into one of three specific brain structures, the perirhinal cortex, the entorhinal cortex, or the mediodorsal thalamus, for their ability to modulate seizures induced by the nerve agent soman. The drugs evaluated were the anticholinergic scopolamine, the benzodiazepine midazolam, and the EAA antagonist MK-801. For each drug treatment in each brain area, anticonvulsant ED50 values were calculated using an up-down dosing procedure over successive animals. There was no statistical difference in the anticonvulsant ED50 values for scopolamine and MK-801 in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortices. MK-801 pretreatment in the mediodorsal thalamus had a significantly lower anticonvulsant ED50 value than any other treatment/injection site combination. Midazolam required significantly higher doses than scopolamine and MK-801 in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortices to produce an anticonvulsant response and was ineffective in the mediodorsal thalamus. These findings support the contention that specific neuroanatomical pathways are activated during nerve agent-induced seizures and that the discrete brain structures involved have unique pharmacological thresholds for producing an anticonvulsant response. This study is also the first to show the involvement of the mediodorsal thalamus in the control of nerve agent-induced seizures.

Theeffect of bulk water was modeled using the polarizable continuum model(PCM) approach. The nature of the potential energy surface of thelocal minima and transition states was ascertained through vibrationalfrequency analysis. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculationswere also performed to validate the computed transition state structures.Effect of electron correlation on computed energies was consideredthrough a single point energy calculation at the MP2 level using thecc-pVTZ basis set. It was revealed that the presence of hydrogen bondsbetween the attacking OH–ion and various hydrogenbond donating sites (including CH sites) of monomer was necessaryfor stabilization of the transition state. It was revealed that theα-anomer will be more reactive than the β-anomer withregard to the denitration reaction. The role of entropy and the denitrationability of various sites are also discussed.

T1 - Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide adsorption on zinc oxide and zirconium hydroxide nanoparticles and the effect on photoluminescence JO - Applied Surface Science JF - Applied Surface Science Y1 - 2012/05/15/ VL - 258 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 5778 EP - 5785 SN - 01694332 AB - Abstract: Nanoparticulate zinc oxide and micron-size zirconium hydroxide powders have been exposed to sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide by flowing the gases, diluted with nitrogen, over powder samples. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicate strongly bound, chemisorbed SO3 and NO3 surface species. Two pre-treatments of the nanoparticulate ZnO samples prior to gas exposure have been investigated: (1) drying overnight in a vacuum oven and (2) hydrating the samples by placing them overnight in water-saturated air. A dramatic difference in reactivity of ZnO is observed, with approximately two-fold and ten-fold greater uptake of NO2 and SO2, respectively, measured by XPS for the hydrated samples relative to the dried ones. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrates that the greater uptake arises from a morphology change in the case of the hydrated samples. For zirconium hydroxide, no morphology change is observed for hydrated samples, and SO4 (ads), in addition to SO3 (ads), is indicated by XPS. ZnO and Zr(OH)4 both exhibit photoluminescence (PL) spectra, with peak intensities that change dramatically due to hydration and subsequent exposure to SO2 and NO2 gases. Dosing of the powders with these gases effectively reverts the PL spectra to those corresponding to less hydration.

T1 - Role of LiNO3 in rechargeable lithium/sulfur battery JO - Electrochimica Acta JF - Electrochimica Acta Y1 - 2012/05/15/ VL - 70 M3 - Article SP - 344 EP - 348 SN - 00134686 AB - Abstract: In this work we study the effect of LiNO3 on the Li anode and sulfur cathode, respectively, of Li/S battery by using a Li/Li symmetric cell and a liquid Li/Li2S9 cell. On the Li anode, LiNO3 participates in the formation of a stable passivation film, and the resulting passivation film grows infinitely with the consumption of LiNO3. The passivation film formed with LiNO3 is known to effectively suppress the redox shuttle of the dissolved lithium polysulfides on Li anode. On the cathode, LiNO3 undergoes a large and irreversible reduction starting at 1.6V in the first discharge, and the irreversible reduction disappears in the subsequent cycles. Moreover, the insoluble reduction products of LiNO3 on the cathode adversely affect the redox reversibility of sulfur cathode. These results indicate that both the Li anode and sulfur cathode consume LiNO3, and that the best benefit of LiNO3 to Li/S battery occurs at the potentials higher than 1.6V. By limiting the irreversible reduction of LiNO3 on the cathode, we have shown that the Li/S cell with a 0.2m LiNO3 as the co-salt can provide a stable capacity of ∼500mAhg−1.

Vaccine-induced, cell-mediated immune responses were assessed. T cell epitope mapping studies using IFN-γ ELISPOT was performed on PBMCs from HIV-1-uninfected vaccine (w = 61) and placebo (n = 10) recipients using HIV-1 Env peptides. Positive responses were measured in 25 (41%) vaccinées and were predominantly CD4+ T cell-mediated. Responses were targeted within the HIV Env region, with 15 of 25 (60%) of vaccinées recognizing peptides derived from the V2 region of HIV-1 Env, which includes the 07 integrin binding site. Intracellular cytokine staining confirmed that Env responses predominated (19 of 30; 63% of vaccine recipients) and were mediated by polyfunctional effector memory CD4+ T cells, with the majority of responders producing both IL-2 and IFN-γ (12 of 19; 63%). HIV Env Ab titers were higher in subjects with IL-2 compared with those without IL-2-secreting HIV Env-specific effector memory T cells. Proliferation assays revealed that HIV Ag-speciflc T cells were CD4+, with the majority (80%) expressing CD107a. HTV-specific T cell lines obtained from vaccine recipients confirmed V2 specificity, polyfunctionality, and functional cytolytic capacity. Although the RV144 T cell responses were modest in frequency compared with humoral immune responses, the CD4+ T cell response was directed to HIV-1 Env and more particularly the V2 region [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Immunology is the property of American Association of Immunologists and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Analysis of munitions constituents in groundwater using a field-portable GC–MS JO - Chemosphere JF - Chemosphere Y1 - 2012/05/15/ VL - 87 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 894 EP - 901 SN - 00456535 AB - Abstract: The use of munitions constituents (MCs) at military installations can produce soil and groundwater contamination that requires periodic monitoring even after training or manufacturing activities have ceased. Traditional groundwater monitoring methods require large volumes of aqueous samples (e.g., 2–4L) to be shipped under chain of custody, to fixed laboratories for analysis. The samples must also be packed on ice and shielded from light to minimize degradation that may occur during transport and storage. The laboratory’s turn-around time for sample analysis and reporting can be as long as 45d. This process hinders the reporting of data to customers in a timely manner; yields data that are not necessarily representative of current site conditions owing to the lag time between sample collection and reporting; and incurs significant shipping costs for samples. The current work compares a field portable Gas Chromatograph–Mass Spectrometer (GC–MS) for analysis of MCs on-site with traditional laboratory-based analysis using High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV absorption detection. The field method provides near real-time (within ∼1h of sampling) concentrations of MCs in groundwater samples. Mass spectrometry provides reliable confirmation of MCs and a means to identify unknown compounds that are potential false positives for methods with UV and other non-selective detectors.

There is the potential for off-site migration of high explosives and metals from hand grenade training ranges by transport in surface water and subsurface transport in leachate. This treatability study used bench-scale columns and mesocosm-scale laboratory lysimeters to investigate the potential of hydrated lime as a soil amendment for in situ remediation of explosives and metals stabilization in hand grenade range soils. Compared to the unamended soil there was a 26–92% reduction of RDX in the leachate and runoff water from the lime treated soils and a 66–83% reduction of zinc in the leachate and runoff water samples; where the hand grenade range metals of concern were zinc, iron, and manganese. The amended soil was maintained at the target pH of greater than 10.5 for optimum explosives decomposition. The treatability study indicated a high potential of success for scale-up to an in situ field study.

We quantified ecosystem-service values to help the largest private landowner in Hawaii, Kamehameha Schools, design a land-use development plan that balances multiple private and public values on its North Shore land holdings (Island of O'ahu) of ∼10,600 ha. We used the InVEST software tool to evaluate the environmental and financial implications of seven planning scenarios encompassing contrasting land-use combinations including biofuel feedstocks, food crops, forestry, livestock, and residential development. All scenarios had positive financial return relative to the status quo of negative return. However, tradeoffs existed between carbon storage and water quality as well as between environmental improvement and financial return. Based on this analysis and community input, Kamehameha Schools is implementing a plan to support diversified agriculture and forestry. This plan generates a positive financial return ($10.9 million) and improved carbon storage (0.5% increase relative to status quo) with negative relative effects on water quality (15.4% increase in potential nitrogen export relative to status quo). The effects on water quality could be mitigated partially (reduced to a 4.9% increase in potential nitrogen export) by establishing vegetation buffers on agricultural fields. This plan contributes to policy goals for climate change mitigation, food security, and diversifying rural economic opportunities. More broadly, our approach illustrates how information can help guide local land-use decisions that involve tradeoffs between private and public interests.

The IHET structure provides a maximum factor of six in improvement in the photocurrent to dark current ratio compared to the basic quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP), and hence it improved the array S/N ratio by the same factor. The study also showed for the first time that there is no electrical cross-talk among individual detectors, even though they share the same emitter and base contacts. Thus, the IHET structure is compatible with existing electronic readout circuits for photoconductors in producing sensitive focal plane arrays.

JO - Cancer Research JF - Cancer Research Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 72 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2394 EP - 2404 SN - 00085472 AB - The NF-κB transcription factor family influences breast cancer outcomes by regulating genes involved in tumor progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Dithiolethiones, a class of naturally occurring compounds with cancer chemoprevention effects that have become clinically available, have been found to inhibit NF-κB activity. However, the mechanism of this inhibition has not been identified, and the influence of dithiolethines on NF-κB pathway in breast cancer cells has not been examined. Here, we investigated the chemical and biochemical effects of dithiolethione on NF-κB and downstream effector molecules in estrogen receptor--negative breast cancer cells and murine tumor xenografts. The dithiolethiones ACS-1 and ACS-2 inhibited NF-κB transcriptional activity. Interestingly, this inhibition was not due to H2S release or protein phosphatase 2A activation, which are key properties of dithiolethiones, but occurred via a covalent reaction with the NF-κB p50 and p65 subunits to inhibit DNA binding. Dithiolethione-mediated inhibition of NF-κB--regulated genes resulted in the inhibition of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, urokinase-type plasminogen activator, and VEGF production. ACS-1 also inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity, cellular migration, and invasion, and ACS-2 reduced tumor burden and resulted in increased tumor host interactions. Together, our findings suggest that dithiolethiones show potential clinical use for estrogen negative breast cancer as a chemotherapeutic or adjuvant therapy.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 40 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1060 EP - 1067 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Anterior compartment pressures of the leg as well as kinematic and kinetic measures are significantly influenced by running technique. It is unknown whether adopting a forefoot strike technique will decrease the pain and disability associated with chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) in hindfoot strike runners.Hypothesis: For people who have CECS, adopting a forefoot strike running technique will lead to decreased pain and disability associated with this condition.Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.Methods: Ten patients with CECS indicated for surgical release were prospectively enrolled. Resting and postrunning compartment pressures, kinematic and kinetic measurements, and self-report questionnaires were taken for all patients at baseline and after 6 weeks of a forefoot strike running intervention. Run distance and reported pain levels were recorded. A 15-point global rating of change (GROC) scale was used to measure perceived change after the intervention.Results: After 6 weeks of forefoot run training, mean postrun anterior compartment pressures significantly decreased from 78.4 ± 32.0 mm Hg to 38.4 ± 11.5 mm Hg. Vertical ground-reaction force and impulse values were significantly reduced. Running distance significantly increased from 1.4 ± 0.6 km before intervention to 4.8 ± 0.5 km 6 weeks after intervention, while reported pain while running significantly decreased. The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) significantly increased from 49.9 ± 21.4 to 90.4 ± 10.3, and the Lower Leg Outcome Survey (LLOS) significantly increased from 67.3 ± 13.7 to 91.5 ± 8.5. The GROC scores at 6 weeks after intervention were between 5 and 7 for all patients. One year after the intervention, the SANE and LLOS scores were greater than reported during the 6-week follow-up. Two-mile run times were also significantly faster than preintervention values. No patient required surgery.Conclusion: In 10 consecutive patients with CECS, a 6-week forefoot strike running intervention led to decreased postrunning lower leg intracompartmental pressures. Pain and disability typically associated with CECS were greatly reduced for up to 1 year after intervention. Surgical intervention was avoided for all patients.

Metamaterials are artificial materials that exhibit plasmonic resonances with subwavelength sizes of metallic structures. Metaresonator antennas use metamaterial structures as radiators to reduce the size of antennas and design multiband antennas. A small-dipole antenna is placed on a high-impedance ground plane with a conjoined split-ring resonator (SRR). The total volume of the antenna, including the effectively high impedance ground plane, is only \0.51\lambda0 \times \0.41\lambda0 \times \0.05 \lambda0. The embedded multilayer ceramic antenna was fabricated using a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technique and is well suited for embedment in the armor. Very good agreement was obtained between full-wave simulation results and measurements of the reflection coefficient and radiation pattern.

Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to identify the fracture and deformation mechanisms under high rate and high pressure loading conditions. These results show that the fracture mechanisms are strong functions of confining stress and strain rate, with transgranular fracture becoming more common at high strain rates. Dynamic fracture mechanics and micromechanical models are used to analyze the observed fracture mechanisms. TEM characterization of fragments from the confined dynamic experiments shows that at higher pressures dislocation motion becomes a common dominant deformation mechanism in AlN. Prismatic slip is dominant, and pronounced microcrack–dislocation interactions are observed, suggesting that the dislocation plasticity affects the macroscopic fracture behavior in this material under high confining stresses.

Is it possible that fluctuations in cortical firing could influence the onset of seizures in an ictal zone? To test this, we have now used neural network simulations in a computational model of cortex having a total of 65,536 neurons with intercellular wiring patterned after histological data. A spatially distributed Poisson driven background input representing the activity of neighboring cortex affected 1% of the neurons. Gamma distributions were fit to the interbursting phase intervals, a non-parametric test for randomness was applied, and a dynamical systems analysis was performed to search for period-1 orbits in the intervals. The non-parametric analysis suggests that intervals are being drawn at random from their underlying joint distribution and the dynamical systems analysis is consistent with a nondeterministic dynamical interpretation of the generation of bursting phases. These results imply that in a region of cortex with abnormal connectivity analogous to a seizure focus, it is possible to initiate seizure activity with fluctuations of input from the surrounding cortical regions. These findings suggest one possibility for ictal generation from abnormal focal epileptic networks. This mechanism additionally could help explain the difficulty in predicting partial seizures in some patients.

This study aimed to determine whether deployment experience and physical activity were associated with the use of bodybuilding, energy, or weight-loss supplement among U.S. military personnel. Methods: Self-reported data from active-duty, Reserve, and National Guard participants of the Millennium Cohort Study collected from 2007–2008 (n = 106,698) on supplement use, physical activity, and other behavioral data were linked with deployment and demographic data. We used multivariable logistic regression sex-stratified models to compare the adjusted odds of each type of supplement use among those with deployment experience in support of operations in Iraq or Afghanistan and those engaged in aerobic or strength-training activities. Results: Overall, 46.7% of participants reported using at least one type of supplement, and 22.0% reported using multiple supplements. Male deployers were more likely to use bodybuilding supplements, whereas female deployers were more likely to use weight-loss supplements. Physically active and younger subjects reported all types of supplement use. Men and women reporting 5 or less hours of sleep per night were more likely to use energy supplements. Conclusions: The high prevalence of supplement use and important characteristics found to be associated with their use, including deployment, physical activity, and suboptimal sleep, suggest focus areas for future research and adverse event monitoring.

MPRAs embody numerous interconnected models and parameters. Concatenation of many multiplicative and incompletely defined assumptions and inputs can result in risk estimates with considerable uncertainties, which are difficult to quantify and elucidate. Here, three MPRA case-studies approach uncertainties in ways that better inform context-specific judgments of risk. In the first case, default values predicted implausibly large impacts; substitution of site-specific data within conservative methods resulted in reasonable and intuitive worst-case estimates. In the second, a simpler, clearly worst-case water quality model sufficed to demonstrate acceptable risks. In the third case, exposures were intentionally and transparently overestimated. Choices made within particular MPRAs depend on availability of data as suitable replacements for default assumptions, regulatory requirements, and thoughtful consideration of the concerns of interested stakeholders. Explicit consideration of the biases inherent in each risk assessment lends greater credibility to the assessment results, and can form the bases for evidence-based decision-making.

The purpose of our study was to assess the impact of Childs-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), and MELD-Sodium (MELD-Na) scores on postoperative morbidity and mortality for cirrhotic patients undergoing nontransplant surgery. Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of all cirrhotic patients who underwent nontransplant surgery under general anesthesia over a 6-year period of time to analyze outcomes using the 3 scoring systems. Results: Sixty-four cirrhotic patients (mean age, 57 y; 62 men) underwent nontransplant surgery under general anesthesia. A CTP score of ≥7.5 was associated with an 8.3-fold increased risk of 30-day morbidity, a MELD score of ≥14.5 was associated with a 5.4-fold increased risk of 3-month mortality, and a MELD-Na score ≥14.5 was associated with a 4.5-fold increased risk of 1-year mortality. Emergent surgery, the presence of ascites, and low serum sodium level were associated significantly with morbidity and 1-year mortality. Conclusions: The major strengths of the 3 scoring systems are for CTP in estimating 30-day morbidity, MELD for estimating 3-month mortality, and MELD-Na for estimating 1-year mortality.

Because hydraulic advection is not practical for delivery in clays, electrokinetic (EK) injection is an alternative for efficient and uniform delivery of bioremediation additive into low-permeability soil and heterogeneous deposits. EK-enhanced bioaugmentation for remediation of clays contaminated with chlorinated solvents is evaluated. Dehalococcoides (Dhc) bacterial strain and lactate ions are uniformly injected in contaminated clay and complete dechlorination of chlorinated ethene is observed in laboratory experiments. The injected bacteria can survive, grow, and promote effective dechlorination under EK conditions and after EK application. The distribution of Dhc within the clay suggests that electrokinetic transport of Dhc is primarily driven by electroosmosis. In addition to biodegradation due to bioaugmentation of Dhc, an EK-driven transport of chlorinated ethenes is observed in the clay, which accelerates cleanup of chlorinated ethenes from the anode side. Compared with conventional advection-based delivery, EK injection is significantly more effective for establishing microbial reductive dechlorination capacity in low-permeability soils.

Many of these soldiers sustain non-emergent musculoskeletal injuries that initially are treated nonoperatively and ultimately require surgery following their combat tour. Methods: A prospective evaluation of the orthopaedic surgery consultations and surgical procedures required by soldiers returning from a full combat deployment was performed. Demographic information (including age and sex) as well as information on the mechanism of injury, the reason for orthopaedic consultation, and the procedures performed was collected for each soldier. The overall incidence of non-emergent orthopaedic injuries was calculated, and multivariate Poisson regression analysis was utilized to determine the effect of age and sex on the type of orthopaedic injury sustained. Results: There were 3787 soldiers who returned from combat operations at the end of a fifteen-month deployment without having been medically evacuated. There were 731 orthopaedic surgical consultations for the evaluation of a nonemergent musculoskeletal complaint, and 140 orthopaedic operations were performed as a result. An age of thirty years or more was an important risk factor for requiring an orthopaedic consultation (p < 0.0001). The most common surgical procedures were performed for shoulder stabilization, for superior labrum anterior to posterior lesion repair, for the treatment of internal derangement of the knee, and for the treatment of foot deformity. Conclusions: Nineteen percent of all soldiers who completed a combat deployment required an orthopaedic surgical consultation on return, and 4% of soldiers required orthopaedic surgery. More than half of the surgical procedures involved the knee or shoulder. This represents a large burden of care for returning soldiers on orthopaedic surgical services and has important implications for future resource utilization. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level I.

Using an established statistical technique to summarize the adoption literature in the United States, we identified the following variables as having the largest impact on adoption: access to and quality of information, financial capacity, and being connected to agency or local networks of farmers or watershed groups. This study shows that various approaches to data collection affect the results and comparability of adoption studies. In particular, environmental awareness and farmer attitudes have been inconsistently used and measured across the literature. This meta-analysis concludes with suggestions regarding the future direction of adoption studies, along with guidelines for how data should be presented to enhance the adoption of conservation practices and guide research.

The geometries ofstationary points of the reactions were obtained with a MPWB1K/6-31+G(d,p)model. To locate and model the geometries of minimum energy intersystemcrossing points for triplet nitrene formation and isomerization, unrestrictedbroken spin symmetry calculations were performed. Employed to modelan analogous path for methyl azide’s decomposition, this approachwas found to yield results similar to those obtained with a CASSCF(10,8)/aug-cc-pVDZmodel. Of the four reaction types studied, N–N2bondfissions with singlet or triplet nitrene formation were found to havethe lowest barriers. Barriers for paths to cyclic products were foundto be 2–4 kcal/mol higher. Kinetic rate expressions for individualpaths were derived from the quantum chemistry results, and spin-allowednitrene formation was found to be dominant at all temperatures andpressures examined. The expression 2.69 × 109(s–1)T1.405exp(−39.0(kcal/mol)/RT), which was derived from QCISD(T)/6-31++G(3df,2p)//MPWB1K/6-31+G(d,p)results, was found to be representative of this reaction’sgas-phase rate. Adjusted on the basis of results from self-consistentreaction field models to account for solvation by n-dodecane, the expression became 1.11 × 109(s–1)T1.480exp(−37.6(kcal/mol)/RT). Utilizing this result and othersderived in the study, a model of the decomposition of n-dodecane-solvated DMAZ was constructed, and it generated simulationsthat well-reproduce previously published measured data for the process.

T1 - A water and sediment budget for the lower Mississippi–Atchafalaya River in flood years 2008–2010: Implications for sediment discharge to the oceans and coastal restoration in Louisiana JO - Journal of Hydrology JF - Journal of Hydrology Y1 - 2012/04/11/ VL - 432-433 M3 - Article SP - 84 EP - 97 SN - 00221694 AB - Summary: The Mississippi is the largest riverine system in North America and one of the most engineered rivers in the world. The challenges of studying the Mississippi River are due to its complex sediment–water dynamics and the multi (and often competing) uses for its resources. Flood control and navigation are primary factors that control how the river is managed. A third factor is the use of river resources, namely water and sediment, for nourishing the degrading coastal wetlands of the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. As such, these factors must be fully considered and coordinated while investigating and developing techniques to harness the sediment resources of the River for coastal restoration. This paper presents a detailed suspended sediment budget analysis for the lowermost Mississippi and Atchafalaya River systems for the flood years of 2008, 2009, and 2010. Data were derived mainly from Federal and State of Louisiana measurements of water discharge and suspended sediment load at (1) monitoring stations along the river channel and (2) boat-based measurements made during specific project studies at natural passes and man-made channel diversions. The present study was focused on flood years 2008–2010 to (1) minimize the influence on the budgets of a historical decline in sediment loads carried by the river as observed by previous investigators and (2) take advantage of recent improvements in the monitoring network. The results show that both the Mississippi and Atchafalaya distributary pathways were efficient at sequestering suspended sediments, particularly the larger (sand) size fraction. Approximately 44% of the total Mississippi+Red River suspended load (80% of the sand) reaching Old River Control structures split between the distributaries was sequestered upstream of the Gulf of Mexico by overbank storage and channel bed aggradation. Increases in bed aggradation in the Mississippi distributary are linked to a loss of stream power associated with man-made and natural exits upstream of the Gulf of Mexico. This further decreased the water and suspended sediment load reaching the deep water Gulf distributary exits in FY08–10 to 46% (water), 19% (total suspended load), and 1.4% (suspended sand). These patterns of sediment storage and delivery have major implications for channel dredging and river sediment diversions planned for Louisiana coastal restoration.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 40 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 808 EP - 814 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Knees undergoing revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction typically have more intra-articular injuries than do knees undergoing primary reconstruction.Hypothesis: Previous partial meniscectomy (PM) is associated with a higher rate of chondral lesions at revision ACL reconstruction, whereas previous meniscal repair (MR) is not associated with a higher rate of chondral lesions at revision ACL reconstruction, compared with knees undergoing revision ACL with no previous meniscal surgery.Study design: Cohort study (Prevalence); Level of evidence, 2.Methods: Data from a multicenter cohort was reviewed to determine the history of prior meniscal surgery (PM/MR) and the presence of grade II/III/IV chondral lesions at revision ACL reconstruction. The association between previous meniscal surgery and the incidence of chondral lesions was examined. Patient age was included as a covariate to determine if surgery type contributes predictive information independent of patient age.Results: The cohort included 725 ACL revision surgeries. Chondrosis was associated with patient age (P < .0001) and previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001). After adjusting for patient age, knees with previous PM were more likely to have chondrosis than knees with previous MR (P = .003) or no previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001). There was no difference between knees without previous meniscal surgery and knees with previous MR (P = .7). Previous partial meniscectomy was associated with a higher rate of chondrosis in the same compartment compared with knees without previous meniscal surgery (P < .0001) and knees with previous MR (P ≤ .03).Conclusion: The status of articular cartilage at the time of revision ACL reconstruction relates to previous meniscal surgery independent of the effect of patient age. Previous partial meniscectomy is associated with a higher incidence of articular cartilage lesions, whereas previous meniscal repair is not. Although this association may reflect underlying differences in the knee at the time of prior surgery, it does suggest that meniscal repair is preferable when possible at the time of ACL reconstruction.

In addition, statistical process control applied to longitudinal social network measures can be biased by the effects of relational dependence and periodicity in the data. Thus, the detection of change is often obscured by random noise. Fourier analysis is used to determine statistically significant periodic frequencies in longitudinal network data. Two approaches are then offered: using significant periods as a basis to chunk data for longitudinal network analysis or using the significant periods to filter the longitudinal data. E-mail communication collected at the United States Military Academy is examined.

JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 126 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 505 SN - 10966080 AB - The highly toxic organophosphorus compound VX [O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]methylphosphonate] is an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Prolonged inhibition of AChE increases endogenous levels of acetylcholine and is toxic at nerve synapses and neuromuscular junctions. We hypothesized that repeated exposure to sublethal doses of VX would affect genes associated with cell survival, neuronal plasticity, and neuronal remodeling, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). We examined the time course of BDNF expression in C57BL/6 mouse brain following repeated exposure (1/day × 5 days/week × 2 weeks) to sublethal doses of VX (0.2 LD50 and 0.4 LD50). BDNF messenger RNA expression was significantly (p < 0.05) elevated in multiple brain regions, including the dentate gyrus, CA3, and CA1 regions of the hippocampal formation, as well as the piriform cortex, hypothalamus, amygdala, and thalamus, 72 h after the last 0.4 LD50 VX exposure. BDNF protein expression, however, was only increased in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. Whether increased BDNF in response to sublethal doses of VX exposure is an adaptive response to prevent cellular damage or a precursor to impending brain damage remains to be determined. If elevated BDNF is an adaptive response, exogenous BDNF may be a potential therapeutic target to reduce the toxic effects of nerve agent exposure.

Answering such questions would be easier if it were somehow possible to see under the surface. In this work we propose a method that, within the limitations on resolution imposed in the available range of frequencies, generates subsurface images from which the positions, relative strengths, and number of targets can be read off at a glance. The method seeds the subsurface with multiple dipoles at known locations that contribute collectively but independently to the measured magnetic field. The polarizabilities of the dipoles are simultaneously updated in a process that seeks to minimize the mismatch between computed and measured fields over a grid. In order to force the polarizabilities to be positive we use their square roots as optimization variables, which makes the problem nonlinear. The iterative update process guided by a Jacobian matrix discards or selects dipoles based on their influence on the measured field. Preliminary investigations indicate a fast convergence rate and the ability of the algorithm to locate multiple targets based on data from various state-of-the-art electromagnetic induction sensors.

JO - Clinical Neuropsychologist JF - Clinical Neuropsychologist Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 26 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 473 EP - 489 SN - 13854046 AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has received much attention due to high rates of this injury in Service Members returning from the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts. This study examined cognitive performance in Service Members tested with ANAM prior to and following deployment. The sample was divided into a control group (n = 400) reporting no TBI injury prior to or during most recent deployment, and a group who self‐reported a TBI injury (n = 502) during most recent deployment. This latter group was divided further based on self‐report of post‐concussion symptoms at post‐deployment testing. All three groups performed similarly at pre‐deployment. The group reporting TBI with active symptoms performed worst at post‐deployment and included the highest percentage of individuals showing significant decline in cognitive performance over time (30.5%). A small sample of symptomatic individuals with a non‐TBI reported injury did not demonstrate similar declines in performance, suggesting that active symptoms alone cannot account for these findings. Of those reporting a TBI injury during deployment, 70% demonstrated no significant change in cognitive performance compared with baseline. Although the exact etiology of observed declines is uncertain, findings indicate that individuals who self‐report TBI during deployment with active symptomatology at post‐deployment are at greatest risk for declines in cognitive performance. These individuals can be identified using self‐report and brief computer‐based testing. Importantly, the majority of active‐duty individuals reporting TBI during deployment do not present with lasting significant cognitive impairment, a finding consistent with the civilian literature on mild TBI.

We formulate the multi-view face recognition task as a joint sparse representation model and take advantage of the correlations among the multiple views for face recognition using a novel joint dynamic sparsity prior. The proposed joint dynamic sparsity prior promotes shared joint sparsity patterns among the multiple sparse representation vectors at class-level, while allowing distinct sparsity patterns at atom-level within each class to facilitate a flexible representation. Extensive experiments on the CMU Multi-PIE face database are conducted to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.

The visual density of the targeting environment was manipulated by the presence or absence of friendly soldiers.Results: RoboLeader, when perfectly reliable, was helpful in reducing the overall mission times. The type of RoboLeader imperfection (false-alarm vs. miss prone) affected operators’ performance of tasks involving visual scanning (target detection, route editing, and situation awareness). There was a consistent effect of visual density (clutter of the visual scene) for multiple performance measures. Participants’ attentional control and video gaming experience affected their overall multitasking performance. In both experiments, participants with greater spatial ability consistently outperformed their low-spatial-ability counterparts in tasks that required effective visual scanning.Conclusion: Intelligent agents, such as RoboLeader, can benefit the overall human-robot teaming performance. However, the effects of type of agent unreliability, tasking requirements, and individual differences have complex effects on human-agent interaction.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of robots in military settings and will provide useful data to designs of systems for multirobot control.

Anthracite was almost completely dominated by aromatics (96.9%), with very minor CCH3. Although lignite contained mostly aromatics (76.1%), significant aliphatics (21.3%) as well as small amounts of COO/Nh name="dbnd" />O and O-alkyls were also present. In addition, anthracite had more aromatic Cthan lignite. Their BC samples both exhibited increased oxygenated functional groups such as COO, aromatic Clkyl groups, and concomitant decrease of aromatic Cpolar alkyls. The 1H 13C recoupled long-range dipolar dephasing experiments indicated the growth of aromatic cluster sizes in BC. Although the aromaticity of anthracite was much larger than those of lignite and lignite humic acid, their aromatic cluster sizes were quite similar. The BC samples had much larger aromatic cluster sizes than anthracite despite their smaller aromaticities. Therefore, higher rank or higher aromaticity may not imply larger aromatic cluster size in coal. The structures of two BC samples were similar despite the contrasting structural differences of their original coals.

The variably saturated flow process in the subsurface is described by a parabolic partial differential equation. In this equation, the hydraulic conductivity and soil moisture capacity are used as the subsurface characteristics. The location of the phreatic surface is governed by a first-order partial differential equation. The governing parabolic partial differential equation is solved using a variational finite element formulation. The first order phreatic surface equation is then solved by loosely coupling with the governing parabolic partial differential equation describing the variably saturated flow. In the present study, a two-dimensional space is used to investigate the movement of the phreatic surface in a variably saturated unconfined flow domain. Based on the time-varying solutions of hydraulic heads, the location of the phreatic surface is simulated in a finite two-dimensional space.

The effects of these deployment-related exposures have not previously been documented. Method: In an attempt to initiate this process, medical evaluations performed at military audiology clinics from April 2003 through March 2004 were reviewed to compare noise-induced hearing loss injury (NIHLI) outcomes among soldiers whose diagnoses were classified as postdeployment-related versus non-postdeployment-related. Sentinel NIHLI outcomes of interest included acoustic trauma, permanent threshold shift, eardrum perforation, tinnitus, and military-specific H-3 and H-4 hearing loss profiles. Results: Significantly higher rates of NIHLI and associated outcomes were observed among soldiers whose diagnoses were postdeployment-related. Conclusions: Based on the findings from this evaluation, recommendations are provided for enhancing the force health protection posture for prevention of hearing loss in future deployments.

Laboratory-based testing of A. aegypti, A. aegypti (Trinidad strain), Culex pipiens, Culex quinquefasciatus. Anopheles stephensi, and Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus individual adult mosquitoes and mixed pools (n = 10) demonstrated 100% concordance in both in vitro sensitivity (six of six samples) and specificity (10 of 10 samples). A single adult A. aegypti was identified in a pool of 100 non-A. aegypti mosquitoes. The limit of detection of A. aegypti egg pools was five individual eggs. Field testing was conducted in central Honduras. An A. aegypti and Culex spp. panel of individual and mixed pools (n = 30) of adult mosquitoes, pupae, and larvae demonstrated 100% concordance in sensitivity (22 of 22 samples) and 97% concordance in specificity (29 of 30 samples), with one false-positive result. Field testing of an A. aegypti and Culex spp. blind panel (n = 16) consisting of individual and mixed pools of adult mosquitoes, pupae, and larvae demonstrated 90% concordance in sensitivity (nine of 10 samples) and 88% concordance in specificity (14 of 16 samples).

It functions as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, including those involved in DNA and RNA replication and protein synthesis. Soldiers represent a unique population faced with intense metabolic and mental demands, as well as exposure to various immune challenges. Some of these factors may affect their dietary zinc requirements. Although severe zinc deficiency is unlikely to occur, some soldiers may experience less than optimal zinc status because of diminished intake coupled with increased requirements. For those soldiers, supplemental dietary zinc may serve a protective function in numerous disease states affecting modern warfighters. This review highlights the importance of adequate zinc nutriture to soldiers and discusses the potential benefits of supplemental zinc in a number of diseases currently affecting soldiers, including diarrhea, respiratory diseases, malaria, and leishmaniasis.

Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 1,532 soldiers after they completed a biannual APFT. Self-reported injury responses determined the rates of injuries resulting from the push-up, sit-up, and 2-mile run events and were classified into three categories, i.e., all injuries, performance-limiting injuries, and time-loss injuries. Results: A total of 117 soldiers (injury rate, 7.6%) reported sustaining an injury (all injuries), with 11% attributed to the push-up event, 56% to the sit-up event, and 32% to the run event. Forty-six of these injuries reportedly limited performance (injury rate, 3.0%), and 11 soldiers received a duty-limiting profile (time-loss injury rate, 0.7%), which did not differ among events. Injury rates were not significantly associated with the number of sit-ups performed per week or the number of days per week a soldier participated in physical training and were not greater for soldiers who trained specifically for the APFT. History of previous injury was a significant risk factor for injury. Conclusion: The push-up, sit-up, and run events of the APFT do not pose a considerable acute injury risk to active duty soldiers.

In the damage formulation each composite ply is treated as a homogeneous orthotropic material that can exhibit orthotropic damage in the form of distributed microscopic cracks that are normal to the three principal material directions. This type of damage is efficiently described by a symmetric second order tensor field that serves as an evolving internal variable within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. The damage tensor is continuous within each material ply of a given element, but can be discontinuous across material layer boundaries and inter-element boundaries. The resulting finite element formulation is shown to be robust, stable and efficient for the simulation of progressive damage and global failures in large-scale composite laminate problems. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the performance characteristics of the finite element model, which is shown to provide consistent results over a range of different element types, mesh densities, element distortion levels and element integration schemes.

Data Sources: Published articles, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, and MEDLINE®, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature®, PsyclNFO, and the Cochrane Library computerized databases. Data Synthesis: Scientists have initiated studies on the prevalence of sleep/wake disturbances and the etiology of sleep disturbances specific to cancer. Measurement has been limited by lack of clear definitions of sleep/wake variables, use of a variety of instruments, and inconsistent reporting of sleep parameters. Findings related to use of nonpharmacologic interventions were limited to 20 studies, and the quality of the evidence remains poor. Few pharmacologic approaches have been studied, and evidence for use of herbal and complementary supplements is almost nonexistent. Conclusions: Current knowledge indicates that sleep/wake disturbances are prevalent in cancer populations. Few Instruments have been validated in this population. Nonpharmacologic interventions show positive outcomes, but design issues and small samples limit generalizability. Little is known regarding use of pharmacologic and herbal and complementary supplements and potential adverse outcomes or interactions with cancer therapies. Implications for Nursing: All patients and caregivers need initial and ongoing screening for sleep/wake disturbances. When disturbed sleep/wakefulness is evident, further assessment and treatment are warranted. Nursing educational programs should include content regarding healthy and disrupted sleep/wake patterns. Research on sleep/wake disturbances in people with cancer should have high priority.

JO - Oncology Nursing Forum JF - Oncology Nursing Forum Y1 - 2005/11// VL - 32 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - E98 EP - E126 PB - Oncology Nursing Society SN - 0190535X AB - Purpose/Objectives: To review the state of the science on sleep/wake disturbances in people with cancer and their caregivers. Data Sources: Published articles, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, and MEDLINE®, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature®, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library computerized databases. Data Synthesis: Scientists have initiated studies on the prevalence of sleep/wake disturbances and the etiology of sleep disturbances specific to cancer. Measurement has been limited by lack of clear definitions of sleep/wake variables, use of a variety of instruments, and inconsistent reporting of sleep parameters. Findings related to use of nonpharmacologic interventions were limited to 20 studies, and the quality of the evidence remains poor. Few pharmacologic approaches have been studied, and evidence for use of herbal and complementary supplements is almost nonexistent. Conclusions: Current knowledge indicates that sleep/wake disturbances are prevalent in cancer populations. Few instruments have been validated in this population. Nonpharmacologic interventions show positive outcomes, but design issues and small samples limit generalizability. Little is known regarding use of pharmacologic and herbal and complementary supplements and potential adverse outcomes or interactions with cancer therapies. Implications for Nursing: All patients and caregivers need initial and ongoing screening for sleep/wake disturbances. When disturbed sleep/wakefulness is evident, further assessment and treatment are warranted. Nursing educational programs should include content regarding healthy and disrupted sleep/wake patterns. Research on sleep/wake disturbances in people with cancer should have high priority.

TG is a precursor in the production of HD and it is also considered as a “Schedule 2” compound (dual-use chemicals with low to moderate commercial use and high-risk precursors). Several toxicological studies on TG were conducted to assess environmental and health effects. The oral LD 50 values were > 5000 mg/kg in rats. It was a mild skin and moderate ocular irritant and was not a skin sensitizer in animals. It was not mutagenic in Ames Salmonella , Escherichia coli , mouse lymphoma, and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, but it induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells. A 90-day oral subchronic toxicity study with neat TG at doses of 0, 50, 500, and 5000 mg/kg/day (5 days/week) in Sprague-Dawley rats results show that there are no treatment-related changes in food consumption, hematology, and clinical chemistry in rats of either sex. The body weights of both sexes were significantly lower than controls at 5000 mg/kg/day. Significant changes were also noted in both sexes in absolute weights of kidneys, kidney to body weight ratios, and kidney to brain weight ratios, in the high-dose group. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for oral toxicity was 500 mg/kg/day. The developmental toxicity conducted at 0, 430, 1290, and 3870 mg/kg by oral gavage showed maternal toxicity in dams receiving 3870 mg/kg. TG was not a developmental toxicant. The NOAEL for the developmental toxicity in rats was 1290 mg/kg. The provisional oral reference dose (RfD) of 0.4 mg/kg/day was calculated for health risk assessments. The fate of TG in the environment and soil showed biological formation of thiodiglycalic acid with formation of an intermediate ((2-hydroxyethyl)thio)acetic acid. It was slowly biodegraded under anaerobic conditions. It was not toxic to bluegill sunfish at 1000 mg/L and its metabolism and environmental and biochemical effects are summarized.

There is considerable data available regarding the toxicity and carcinogenicity of RDX. It has been classified as a possible carcinogen (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Risk Information System, 2005, www.epa.gov/IRIS/subst/0313.htm). In order to better understand its gentoxic potential, the authors conducted the in vitro mouse lymphoma forward mutation and the in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assays. Pure RDX (99.99%) at concentrations ranging from 3.93 to 500 μ g/ml showed no cytotoxicity and no mutagenicity in forward mutations at the thymidine kinase (TK) locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, with and without metabolic activation. This finding was also confirmed by repeat assays under identical conditions. In addition, RDX did not induce micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells when tested to the maximum tolerated dose of 250 mg/kg in male mice. These results show that RDX was not mutagenic in these in vitro and in vivo mammalian systems.

Strenuous military training/ assessment provides a uniform stress and the opportunity to evaluate nutritional strategies to minimize stress-induced immune changes that predispose soldiers to infection. Immunological changes and effects of a novel nutritional immune formula (NNIF) were examined prospectively in a double-blind, controlled study of 200 soldiers attending Special Forces Assessment and Selection School. Immune function was measured by skin delayed-type hypersensitivity, lymphocyte phenotyping, mitogenic proliferative responses, and granulocyte function. Approximately 50% of soldiers completed the study (control, n = 57; NNIF, n = 50). Several stress-induced lymphocyte changes were observed (decreased mitogen-induced proliferation. T and total lymphocytes, and interferon-γ-producing lymphocytes and increased percentage of neutrophils). NNIF modified several changes, including delayed-type hypersensitivity responses (NNIF. 78%; control. 59%; p < 0.05). increased proportions of helper T cells, activation of B cells, enhanced neutrophil phagocytosis, and attenuation of declines in certain functional subpopulations (i.e., cytotoxic/ suppressor lymphocytes). Soldiers who consumed NNIF experienced less stress-induced immune impairment, thereby lowering the risk of infection.

There have been many discussions of how quality control measures from industry can be applied to the health care system. Indeed both civilian and "brick and mortar" military medical treatment facilities are adapting these techniques. It is important that we understand the principles behind Total Quality Management (TQM) as well as its techniques and limitations. TQM is based on limiting deviation from an accepted standard of practice. These principles may be as applicable to our military health care facilities in a field environment as they are to our fixed facilities, although the standards used for measurement may have to be modified to adapt to different constraints of environment and resources. TQM techniques can nonetheless be applied in virtually any facility to ensure the best possible care and outcomes for our soldiers.

SN - 15409996 AB - In 1994, Congress provided $40M for biomedical research on issues of importance for military women. This supported 104 intramural and 30 extramural studies and launched an era of research to narrow the knowledge gap on protection and enhancement of health and performance of military women. Projects addressed issues specific to female physiology (e.g., gynecological health in the field, maternal malaria), problems with higher prevalence for women (e.g., marginal iron deficiency, stress fracture), and issues of drug and materiel safety that had only been extrapolated from studies of men (e.g., chemical agent prophylaxis, fatigue countermeasures). Several important assumptions about female physiology and occupational risks were found to be astoundingly wrong. Hormonal changes through the menstrual cycle were less important to acute health risks and performance than predicted, exercise did not increase risk for amenorrhea and consequent bone mineral loss, and women tolerated G-forces and could be as safe as men in the cockpit if their equipment was designed for normal size and strength ranges. Data on personal readiness issues, such as body fat, physical fitness, nutrition, and postpartum return to duty, allowed reconsideration of standards that were gender appropriate and not simply disconnected adjustments to existing male standards. Other discoveries directly benefited men as well as women, including development of medical surveillance databases, identification of task strength demands jeopardizing safety and performance, and greater understanding of the effects of psychosocial stress on health and performance. This surge of research has translated into advances for the welfare of servicewomen and the readiness of the entire force; relevant gender issues are now routine considerations for researchers and equipment developers, and some key remaining research gaps of special importance to military women continue to be investigated.

It is imperative that health care organizations adopt some form of business strategy to manage the vast amount of information available. Two of the more popular strategies among health care organizations are the Balanced Scorecard and Total Quality Management. Which one of the strategies is best for an organization? The answer to this question is that it depends on the organization. This article provides the fundamentals of each strategy and contrasts their strengths and weaknesses, so that interested organizations can make informed decisions regarding the best strategy for each organization.

The purpose of this study was to assess senior military officers' concerns on various health topics, educational preferences for nutrition and health topics, eating habits, and barriers and motivators for eating healthfully and exercising regularly. The survey was completed by 52 resident students at the U.S. Army War College. Fitness, weight, and blood cholesterol were top health concerns, and respondents wanted to know more about eating healthfully on the run. The primary barrier to eating healthfully and exercising regularly was lack of time, whereas health and appearance were top motivators. Health interventions for this population should include their topics of concern and should address perceived barriers and motivators.

Soldiers testing the CFP formulations were members of one of four U.S. Army infantry companies (A, B, C, or D]. The formulations were evaluated while soldiers participated in simulated combat exercises for 5 days during hot, humid summer weather in Korea. Results showed that soldiers found both of the new formulations easier to apply (91.3% of respondents who used CFP without DEET and 87.9% of respondents who used CFP with DEET) and remove (82.6% without DEET and 81.2% with DEET) than the previous standard military-issue CFP. Soldier acceptability was higher for the new CFP formulation with 30% DEET (70.5%) than for the formulation without 30% DEET (52.9%). Soldiers recommended it more frequently (70.5%) than the formulation without 30% DEET (50.0%). The new CFP formulation with 30% DEET was rated more often (79.5%) as either good or excellent than the new formulation without 30% DEET (67.4%). Soldiers reported that the CFP formulation with 30% DEET more successfully camouflaged the face (92.7%) than the formulation without 30% DEET (80.0%).

Extinction coefficients of spinel samples were estimated by comparing the measured transmittance with the theoretical transmittance as calculated via a Sellmeier model. Results showed that the relative size of the scattering sites was large compared with the wavelengths of light (0.35–5.5 μm). Overall, increasing HIP temperature and pressure resulted in decreasing the optical extinction. The lower of two hot pressing temperatures (1620° vs 1650°C) prior to HIPing resulted in lower scatter coefficients after HIPing; this effect was most significant in the infrared.

SN - 00222461 AB - The microstructures of long rod [001] single-crystal penetrators of W grown by CVD and zone melt processing, and W-5% Ta grown by zone melt (ZM) processing, were examined before and after penetration into RHA steel targets, by optical metallography and transmission electron microscopy. The initial Vickers microhardness values for the CVD-W rods was 417 VHN in contrast to 485 VHN for the ZM-W and W-5% Ta rods as a consequence of an order of magnitude larger dislocation density. Both the CVD-W and ZM-W exhibited less dense head flow associated with adiabatic shear bands and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) than the ZM-W-5% Ta, but all penetrators exhibited erosion tube formation in the penetration channel. These tube and erosion debris particles exhibited dense, overlapping shear bands composed of DRX grains or areas with larger, equiaxed grains resulting from residual grain growth. These observations suggest that controlling the penetrator head flow by solute-induced DRX may control penetration.

A special emphasis of the article is on spectroscopic studies of plasmas used as sources for non-coherent vacuum ultraviolet radiation such as rare excimer emissions and atomic and molecular emissions from plasmas in admixtures of rare gases and the molecular gases H2 and N2. An attempt is made to correlate the various observed emission features and their dependence on the plasma operating parameters (pressure, power, gas mixture, mode of excitation, etc.) to the underlying microscopic atomic and molecular processes.

Although these solutions are successful in the model, implementing them in the field can be difficult because of uncertainties in airflow scaling. This study uses field and laboratory data to test theoretical relationships between airflow from the diffuser and the resulting near-surface water velocity. In the experiments, water velocities were measured adjacent to bubbler plumes for depths ranging from 0.52 to 6.5 m and airflow rates ranging from 0.015 to 0.68 standard cubic meters per minute/meter. The observed vertical and horizontal water velocity data compared moderately well to theoretical curves based on the equations of Kobus and Ashton. In addition, a reasonably linear relationship was found between the average velocity of the horizontal, near-surface flow field V and unit airflow from the diffuser Qa.

Methods: An OHT was self-applied by 26 subjects, to maximal tolerable tightness, to the proximal and or thigh under different conditions and positions, and the presence of blood flow was assessed using Doppler ultrasonography or occlusion plethysmography. Results: Doppler sound was eliminated at the radial artery for all subjects with OHT application but was not stopped at the popliteal or dorsalis pedis artery for any subjects. The OHT reduced forearm blood flow by 79% but decreased leg blood flow by only ∼50%. regardless of condition and position of application to the thigh. Conclusions: The OHT appears to effectively minimize blood flow in the arm but not in the lower extremities, and clinical assessment of blood flow disappearance by Doppler ultrasonography may underestimate the magnitude of actual blood flow to the limb.

However, a great deal of confusion exists among soldiers, medics, and military medical officers on a number of tourniquet-related issues. What is an appropriate combat tourniquet? When is it appropriate to use a tourniquet? When and by whom should a tourniquet be removed? Under what conditions should a tourniquet not be released or removed? What are the most effective ways to increase limb salvage while using a tourniquet? These and other issues were addressed by a panel of experts at the 2003 Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care Conference, August 21 and 23, 2003, St. Pete Beach, Florida. Here we review those issues and present a summary of the panel's recommendations.

The OHT reduced forearm blood flow by 79% but decreased leg blood flow by only ∼50%. regardless of condition and position of application to the thigh. Conclusions: The OHT appears to effectively minimize blood flow in the arm but not in the lower extremities, and clinical assessment of blood flow disappearance by Doppler ultrasonography may underestimate the magnitude of actual blood flow to the limb.

The retrieval algorithm, which is based on four-dimensional variational data assimilation, is applied by using dual- and single-Doppler lidar data that are acquired during the Joint Urban 2003 field experiment. The velocity field that was retrieved using single-Doppler data is compared directly with radial velocities that were measured by a second noncollocated lidar. Dual-Doppler retrievals are also performed and then compared with the single-Doppler retrieval. The linear correlation coefficient and rms deviation between the single-Doppler retrieval and the observations from the second lidar are found to be 0.94 and 1.2 m s-1, respectively. The high correlation is mainly the result of good agreement in the mean vertical structure as observed by the two lidars. Comparisons between the single- and dual-Doppler retrieval indicate that the single-Doppler retrieval underestimates the magnitude of fluctuations in the crossbeam direction. Vertical profiles of horizontally averaged correlations between the single- and dual-Doppler retrievals also show a marginal correlation (0.4–0.8) between one of the horizontal velocity components. Again, this suggests that the retrieval algorithm has difficulty estimating the crossbeam component from single-Doppler data.

The advection–diffusion equation was used to investigate the impact of log-normal variation in hydraulic conductivity on both steady-state and transient contaminant flux through a cutoff wall with idealized initial and boundary conditions. The results demonstrate that contaminant flux through cutoff walls increases as the variability in hydraulic conductivity increases while all other variables are held constant, including the area-weighted average conductivity. The effect of variability is most pronounced when advective transport and diffusive transport act in opposite directions, as occurs for circumferential cutoff walls that are operated with inward-directed hydraulic gradients to contain contaminated ground water. In this case, the increase in total outward flux due to variability of hydraulic conductivity occurs because the increase in inward advective flux in areas where the seepage velocity is higher than average is more than offset by the increase in outward diffusive flux in areas where the seepage velocity is lower than average.

This paper presents results from three-dimensional numerical simulations that were conducted to study the helical secondary current (HSC) and the near-field flow distribution around one SW. The simulated flow fields around a SW in a scale physical model were validated using experimental data. The three-dimensional flow fields around a SW, the influence of the SW on general HSC, and the implication of effectiveness of submerged weirs to realign the flow field and improve navigability in bendways were analyzed. The numerical simulations indicated that the SW significantly altered the general HSC. Its presence induced a skewed pressure difference cross its top and a triangular-shaped recirculation to the downstream side. The over-top flow tends to realign toward the inner bank and therefore improves conditions for navigation.

These walls may become a debris hazard to building occupants when high explosives, for example, a terrorist vehicle bomb, are detonated outside of a building. A recently completed series of physical experiments is being used to develop methods for predicting the hazard levels associated with CMU walls. Retrofitting techniques have been developed to mitigate these hazards. The experiments included nonretrofitted CMU walls as well as several different types of retrofits. Test data, high-speed video, and posttest inspection of the experiments were used to assess the parameters that affect the response of CMU walls and retrofit systems. The objective of the research presented in this paper is to collect data on the blast response of CMU walls so that improvements can be made to the previously developed Wall Analysis Code (WAC).

However, there have been few attempts to quantify such improvement. To begin analyzing this possible relationship between seismic detailing and blast and progressive collapse resistance, the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the Department of Homeland Security sponsored a study at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. The study was an analysis of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which was severely damaged in a 1995 terrorist attack. The building was first evaluated for seismic vulnerabilities as if it were located in a seismically active region. Three strengthening schemes were then designed for the vulnerabilities found during the evaluation: a pier-spandrel system and a new special concrete moment frame, both for the street face of the building, and a set of internal shear walls. In addition to these strengthening schemes, the original ordinary concrete moment frame on the street face of the building was redetailed to bring it into compliance with current building code provisions, without including a lateral load analysis. The three strengthening schemes and redetailed frame were then analyzed for their responses to the same explosion that occurred in 1995. Blast and corresponding progressive collapse analyses showed that the pier-spandrel and special moment frame schemes, as well as the redetailed original system, reduced the degree of direct blast-induced damage and subsequent progressive collapse, compared with the behavior of the original building. Internal shear walls, however, were not as effective in reducing the blast and progressive collapse damage. A key finding of the study was that strengthening the perimeter elements using current seismic detailing techniques improved the survivability of the building, while strengthening elements internal to the building envelope was not nearly as effective in reducing damage.

These anchoring systems are often subjected to large tensile forces in a short time during an external blast event. Previous research has been conducted on anchoring systems to evaluate their response to cyclic and “shock” loads; however, the ultimate capacities of these systems were not determined, and tests were conducted at relatively slow loading rates. In this paper, testing has been performed to determine the ultimate capacity of various expansion anchors at high loading rates, which is characteristic of most blast events. Ultimately, concrete expansion anchors perform differently at high loading rates and some show improved ultimate performance. This paper will present the experimental findings and provide recommendations for anchor design under blast loads.

Therefore, this paper will present the analytical modeling and experimental evaluation of steel-stud wall systems under blast loads. The results of the static full-scale wall tests, as well as the component tests, are used to evaluate the structural performance of the walls and provide recommendations for blast-retrofit systems. The analytical and experimental static results are used to develop the static resistance function for the wall systems, which is incorporated into a single degree of freedom dynamic model. The dynamic model will enable designers to predict the level of performance of the wall system under any explosion threat level. The analytical model conservatively predicted the measured field results with a maximum difference of 20%. The paper will discuss the performance of blast-retrofit wall systems under static and dynamic field tests simulating large vehicle bombs.

Ten males (aged 22-32) were studied in two randomized conditions, control and ACZ administration (250 mg 14, 8, and 2 h before testing) separated by at least one week. PI of soleus Ia afferents was indirectly assessed two ways: a conditioning stimulus of Ia afferents in the common peroneal nerve (N = 6), and heteronymous Ia facilitation from the quadriceps to soleus muscle (N = 4). Conditioning (C) of the soleus H-reflex (common peroneal nerve stimulation protocol) resulted in depression of the Hreflex in the supine and standing position compared to the test (T, unconditioned) H-reflex in the same position. This result was unaltered following ACZ treatment. C (heteronymous facilitation protocol) resulted in facilitation of the H-reflex in the supine, but not the standing position. This result was unaltered following ACZ treatment. It was concluded that the depression of the H-reflex following CA inhibition (present study; Brechue et al., 1997) appears to be unrelated to changes in the tonic level of PI of Ia afferents. The best hypothesis for the reduction in the H-reflex appears to be conduction block of the primary afferent fibers secondary to local increases in PCO2.

Performance was measured by speed (the time taken to reach out and touch a virtually presented visual target) and accuracy (the distance of the fingertip from the center of the virtual target). Phenomenological experience was measured via questionnaires. The cues manipulated were the visual realism of the virtual hand (fidelity), whether the virtual fingertip was seen to penetrate the virtual target or not (constraint), and whether the feedback given on contact with the virtual tar;get was tactile or auditory (feedback). We found that better hand fidelity speeded movement, increased presence, and reduced disorientation. In contrast, the constraint manipulation affected touch accuracy and disorientation. Tactile feedback enhanced the sense of presence and reduced disorientation, compared with auditory feedback.

It struck at the first elevated slab on the west wall, and slid approximately 310 ft(94.5 m) diagonally into the building. The force of the collision demolished numerous columns and the façade of the exterior wall, and induced damage to first-floor columns and the first elevated slab over an area approximately 90 ft(27.4 m) wide and 310 ft(94.5 m) long. None of the building collapsed immediately. The portion that remained standing, even after an intense fire, sustained substantial damage at the first-floor level.

The ensuing fire and related fire-fighting activities led to the collapse of a portion of the building approximately one-half hour after the impact. In this paper, the reasons for the demonstrated toughness of the reinforced concrete structure are examined and attributed to use of spiral columns, effective splicing of reinforcing bars, strong girders, and short span lengths.

The fire intensity in some compartments of the affected areas inside the Pentagon was approximated to be between those of the two standard fire exposures ASTM E119 and E1529, based on the observed fire damage and estimated fuel load. Thermal analyses of the structural columns and beams were performed using the standard fire exposures to demonstrate the increased vulnerability of these structural elements once the concrete cover was lost.

SN - 00068314 AB - Turbulent and mean meteorological data collected at five levels on a 20-m tower over the Arctic pack ice during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) are analyzed to examine different regimes of the stable boundary layer (SBL). Eleven months of measurements during SHEBA cover a wide range of stability conditions, from the weakly unstable regime to very stable stratification. Scaling arguments and our analysis show that the SBL can be classified into four major regimes: (i) surface-layer scaling regime (weakly stable case), (ii) transition regime, (iii) turbulent Ekman layer, and (iv) intermittently turbulent Ekman layer (supercritical stable regime). These four regimes may be considered as the basic states of the traditional SBL. Sometimes these regimes, especially the last two, can be markedly perturbed by gravity waves, detached elevated turbulence (‘upside down SBL’), and inertial oscillations. Traditional Monin–Obukhov similarity theory works well in the weakly stable regime. In the transition regime, Businger–Dyer formulations work if scaling variables are re-defined in terms of local fluxes, although stability function estimates expressed in these terms include more scatter compared to the surface-layer scaling. As stability increases, the near-surface turbulence is affected by the turning effects of the Coriolis force (the turbulent Ekman layer). In this regime, the surface layer, where the turbulence is continuous, may be very shallow (< 5 m). Turbulent transfer near the critical Richardson number is characterized by small but still significant heat flux and negligible stress. The supercritical stable regime, where the Richardson number exceeds a critical value, is associated with collapsed turbulence and the strong influence of the earth’s rotation even near the surface. In the limit of very strong stability, the stress is no longer a primary scaling parameter.

Workload correlates positively with performance, whereas role overload does not. For the military, the concept of work overload is particularly relevant because of the heightened levels of operations tempo across three military environments: garrison, training, and deployment. This study surveyed 695 military personnel in all 3 environments and compared work overload reports with archived and self-report measures of performance. In general, results revealed that workload correlated positively with performance, whereas role overload was not correlated with performance. There was also some evidence of a moderating effect of military environment on the work overload–performance relation. The implication for treating the 2 components of workload and role overload as distinct and assessing the role of the work context are discussed.

This study addressed these inconsistent findings by including different operational definitions of retention, assessing whether the relation between OPTEMPO and turnover is curvilinear, and examining the impact of subjective perceptions of OPTEMPO on turnover. U.S. soldiers stationed in Europe were surveyed (N = 288) and interviewed (n = 177). Career intentions closely matched actual retention behavior as measured in archival records. Both perceptions of role overload related to OPTEMPO and workload measures of OPTEMPO were linked with career decision. Role overload related to work hours was associated with turnover, whereas a workload measure was not. Number of temporary duty (TDY) days was found to be curvilinear in relation to retention. Qualitative data identified similar reasons for turnover and retention across rank groups, but the way in which these reasons were processed differed by rank. Future research needs to consider rank, work context, definitions, and perceptions of OPTEMPO, as well as the influence of TDY days on turnover decisions.

This study focused on the role of wellness behaviors, specifically physical exercise and sleep, in moderating this impact. The study hypothesized that both sleep and exercise would moderate the impact of work hours on health; it also examined the role of alcohol use as a moderator. U.S. soldiers (N = 1,422) were surveyed on a range of topics related to well-being and workload. Multiple regression results partially supported the hypotheses. Physical exercise was a significant moderator of work hours for both psychological and physical health outcomes, whereas sleep moderated only psychological health outcomes. Low alcohol use moderated the impact of work hours on physical symptoms but only when work hours were short. This article discusses the use of wellness behaviors as a strategy for coping with workload and the need for understanding the role of alcohol use during periods of relatively low workload.

The war in Iraq has spanned the full spectrum of military operations: intense combat, stability-and-support operations, and peacetime activities. Regardless of their nature and relative intensity, military operations are shaped by the characteristics of the military operating environment. Consequently, the scale, tempo, and complexity of any type of military endeavor are linked to the physical and cultural landscapes of the region in which it is conducted. Military geographers use geographical information, tools, and techniques to examine those links. Iraq's operating environment is studied to identify the relevant components of its physical and human geography. This military geographical examination of Iraq tells us a great deal about how the physical and cultural environment have influenced the war, as well as how the complexity of its human landscape continues to affect the postwar rebuilding of the country.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2005/07//Jul/Aug2005 VL - 24 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 221 EP - 229 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Considerable concentrations of the explosive, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) have been found in the soil at many installations where explosives have been used, manufactured, assembled, or destroyed. To evaluate risk to avian receptors, measures of exposure are compared with a threshold level of sublethal toxicity. To date, a single feeding study has evaluated the responses of oral TNT exposure to birds with equivocal results regarding sublethal effects. The present study followed a controlled dosing regime comprising four dose groups and a control (200, 120, 70, 20, and 0 mg TNT/kg body weight [bw]-day) in the common pigeon ( Columba livia ) for 60 days. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes between 2 and 3 weeks of exposure. Signs included weight loss, neuromuscular effects (e.g., ataxia, tremors, etc.), and scant red feces (chromaturia). Emetic events following dosing were common and proportional to dose; however, attempts to quantify vomitus compound concentration suggests that birds were marginally successful at removing TNT following administration. Eight of 12 and 2 of 12 males and females died or were moribund in the 200 and 120 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Changes in hematological parameters, liver, kidney, and ovary weights were related to treatment. Dose-related changes in plasma albumin and sodium concentrations were also observed. These results suggest that subchronic exposure to TNT can adversely affect the central nervous system and hematological parameters in birds. Chemical analysis of blood detected concentrations of the two primary reduction metabolites, but not parent compound, suggesting that toxicity may be due to the bioaccumulation of a toxic intermediate.

JO - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) JF - International Journal of Toxicology (Taylor & Francis) Y1 - 2005/07//Jul/Aug2005 VL - 24 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 265 EP - 274 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10915818 AB - Military activities associated with training, munitions manufacturing, and demilitarization has resulted in soil residues of munition compounds and their breakdown products. Two isomers of dinitrotoluene (2,4- and 2,6-) are often found in soil associated with those activities at considerable concentrations. Consequently, issues regarding the effects of exposure to birds that visit these habitats require evaluation. To provide data useful to a risk assessment approach, we followed a controlled dosing regime (gavage) using 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) in the Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ) for 60 days following a 14-day range-finding study and the determination of a LD 50 using the up/down method. The LD 50 was determined to be 55 mg/kg using corn oil as a vehicle. Individuals dosed exceeding this level were moribund or died within 60 h of exposure. Morbidity and death occurred during the 14-day range-finding study at dosing regimens of 35 and 55, but not at 15, 5, and 0.5 mg/kg-day. Compound-related morbidity/mortality occurred in the 60-day study during the first week of exposure at 25 and 15, but not at 5, 1, and 0 mg/kg-day. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes at the onset of exposure. Signs included weight loss, diarrhea, and lethargy. Dose-related changes in egg production, ovary, kidney, and brain mass, and body weight, but not feed consumption, were found. Changes in kidney mass and histological observations suggest accumulation of nitrogenous waste may be the cause of morbidity. These data suggest that oral 2,4-DNT exposures are more acutely toxic and has a different etiology than 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in birds.

We discuss a toolkit of designs for simulators with limited DOE expertise who want to select a design and an appropriate analysis for their experiments. Furthermore, we provide a research agenda listing problems in the design of simulation experiments—as opposed to real-world experiments—that require more investigation. We consider three types of practical problems: (1) developing a basic understanding of a particular simulation model or system, (2) finding robust decisions or policies as opposed to so-called optimal solutions, and (3) comparing the merits of various decisions or policies. Our discussion emphasizes aspects that are typical for simulation, such as having many more factors than in real-world experiments, and the sequential nature of the data collection. Because the same problem type may be addressed through different design types, we discuss quality attributes of designs, such as the ease of design construction, the flexibility for analysis, and efficiency considerations. Moreover, the selection of the design type depends on the metamodel (response surface) that the analysts tentatively assume; for example, complicated metamodels require more simulation runs. We present several procedures to validate the metamodel estimated from a specific design, and we summarize a case study illustrating several of our major themes. We conclude with a discussion of areas that merit more work to achieve the potential benefits—either via new research or incorporation into standard simulation or statistical packages.

The theoretical background for the model is based on a variational analysis using mass conservation as a constraint. The model was designed for diagnostic wind simulation at the microscale in complex terrain and in urban areas. The numerical implementation takes advantage of a multigrid method that greatly improves the computation speed. Three preliminary test cases for the model’s numerical efficiency and its accuracy are given. The model results are compared with an analytical solution for flow over a hemisphere. Flow over a bell-shaped hill is computed to demonstrate that the numerical method is applicable in the case of parameterized lee vortices. A simulation of the mean wind field in an urban domain has also been carried out and compared with observational data. The comparison indicated that the multigrid method takes only 3%–5% of the time that is required by the traditional Gauss–Seidel method.

The emphasis of this paper is on the overall performance of these models in coastal inlets. Both wave models are similar in that they employ a finite-difference method to solve the wave action conservation equation for the steady-state wave spectral transformation. However, these models differ in the computation of diffraction, reflection, wave breaking, and representation of the directional spectrum transformation. The models’ performance is compared with a new set of physical model data for four different idealized inlet configurations. Wave height is measured in the physical model by a linear array of capacitance wave gauges, and wave direction is measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system. The comparison with data is presented as mean absolute relative errors of wave height and mean absolute difference of wave direction. Both wave models produced similar results, but neither could accurately describe waves observed in the physical model in inlets and near structures. The mean absolute relative error of wave height prediction from models was between 22 and 40% as compared with the measured data. The mean absolute error of wave direction estimates ranged from 5 to 12 degrees. Overall, wave direction estimates from GHOST in inlets and near structures compared slightly better with measurements.

Atomic-scale observations suggest that the grain boundaries of the two materials are free of grain-boundary films. Two triple-junction phases were found and characterized to be rhombohedral Fe2B103 and orthorhombic Ti3B4. In addition, intra-granular precipitates, AlN, Mo2(C, B) and graphite, were identified and found to have coherent relationships with the boron carbide matrix. Micron-scale inclusions were also observed and most of them were determined to be graphite. The formation mechanisms of the secondary phases and their possible influence on mechanical properties are also discussed.

The imperative to retrieve a fallen comrade's body from the field regardless of tactical cost also suggests the preeminence of the dead over the living. As the Homerian epic Iliad progresses, the reason for fighting fades before the more immediate need to repossess bodies left behind. The retrieval and burial of the dead was as important to the historical Greeks as it was to the warriors of the Iliad, and in order to bury its dead the defeated force would ask for a truce from the victors, who controlled the battlefield.

The intervention was delivered by Army chaplains. Effects replicated well in the two samples, and demonstrated that marriage education was well received by this population and resulted in improvements in relationship functioning. Changes in relationship quality were examined separately for males and females, and also for couples in which both members of the couple were Caucasian as compared with all other couples. There were no significant differences in changes over time (i.e., from pre- to postmarriage education) among males and females or among couples with different ethnic makeup. These results have important implications for the generalizability of marriage education to diverse samples in nontraditional contexts.

High winds generate large amounts of sea spray, which can modify the transfer of momentum, heat, and moisture across the air–sea interface. However, the extent to which sea spray can modify extratropical or midlatitude hurricanes and intense cyclones has not been resolved. This paper reports simulations of extratropical Hurricanes Earl (1998) and Danielle (1998) and an intense winter cyclone from January 2000 using a mesoscale atmospheric model and a recent sea spray parameterization. These simulations show that sea spray can increase the sea surface heat flux, especially the latent heat flux, in a midlatitude cyclone and that sea spray’s impact on cyclone intensity depends on the storm structure and development and is strongest for cyclones with high winds.

This paper describes the results of principal-components analyses of Presence Questionnaire (PQ) data from 325 participants following exposure to immersive virtual environments. The analyses suggest that a 4-factor model provides the best fit to our data. The factors are Involvement, Adaptation/Immersion, Sensory Fidelity, and Interface Quality. Except for the Adaptation/Immersion factor, these factors corresponded to those identified in a cluster analysis of data from an earlier version of the questionnaire. The existence of an Adaptation/Immersion factor leads us to postulate that immersion is greater for those individuals who rapidly and easily adapt to the virtual environment. The magnitudes of the correlations among the factors indicate moderately strong relationships among the 4 factors. Within these relationships, Sensory Fidelity items seem to be more closely related to Involvement, whereas Interface Quality items appear to be more closely related to Adaptation/Immersion, even though there is a moderately strong relationship between the Involvement and Adaptation/Immersion factors.

SN - 10807683 AB - Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by the organophosphorous compound sarin (GB) results in the accumulation of acetylcholine and excessive cholinergic stimulation. There are few data in the literature regarding the effects of multiple low-level exposures to GB and other organophosphorous compounds via relevant routes of exposure. Therefore, the present study was undertaken, and is the first, to investigate the effect of low-level repeated whole-body inhalation exposures to GB vapor on pupil size and cholinesterase activity in the eyes and blood. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 4.0 mg/m3 of GB vapor for 1 h on each of 3 consecutive days. Pupil size and cholinesterase activities were determined at various points throughout the exposure sequence. The results demonstrate that multiple inhalation exposures to GB vapor produce a decrease in the miotic potency of GB in rats. This tolerance developed at a dose of GB that produced no overt signs of intoxication other than miosis. AChE and butyrylcholinesterase activity did not increase throughout the exposure sequence, suggesting that the tolerance cannot be attributed to a reduced inhibitory effect of GB. A decrease in the amount of GB present in the eye occurred after the third exposure. However, this change is insufficient to explain the tolerance, as there was no corresponding increase in AChE activity. Thus, the mechanism mediating the miotic tolerance observed after multiple inhalation exposures to the nerve agent GB remains uncertain, although several possibilities can be excluded based on the results of the present study.

The electrode probe consists of a large-area O2 electrode and a cylindrical electrolyte sponge with a short cone tip for screening. This type of design can easily minimize the probe resistance contributed by the electrolyte. A zinc electrode library is generated using a nonautomated method to deposit metal zinc on a graphite plate. The zinc electrode library and the O2-electrode probe form an electrochemical library containing 128 micro zinc/air batteries. High-throughput screening of the zinc/air batteries are carried out by moving the tip of the electrode probe under constant potential (1.0 V) and measuring the current. A Gaussian distribution is used for statistical analysis of the experimental data. These data obtained with the combinatorial method have a relative standard deviation of 8.9% based on a nonautomated coating procedure. The O2 electrode probe is used to study the effect of addition of Cu in the anode on the performance of the zinc/air battery.

Compounds which differed structurally from the analytes were used as reference compounds. It was found that when the oxygen concentration in the helium was the maximum for the instrument (9%) relative errors in carbon-to-hydrogen ratio determination were 3–8%, irrespective of analyte and reference compound structure, whereas when working in the mode of operation recommended by the manufacturer of the instrument (1.5% oxygen in helium) the respective errors were 10–20% or higher. This improvement in the accuracy of carbon-to-hydrogen ratio determination was accompanied by a factor of ten decrease in sensitivity.

However, this approach cannot quantify the bridge safety in probabilistic terms or fully quantify the structural risk to the bridge. Reliability methods have become an increasingly popular and gradually accepted approach to assess the safety of structures. These methods account for the randomness and correlation of all relevant variables and failure modes in the analysis. This study performs both a load rating analysis and a reliability analysis on the same highway bridge, compares the results, and discusses the strengths and limitations of each approach.

The first two experiments tested four radii, starting after 0%, 30%, 60%, or 80% of the total distance of a cursor movement was covered. In the first experiment, the force field with the largest radius was found to be the least satisfying, whereas the force field starting after 60% was the most satisfying. In the second experiment, however, the force field with the largest radius was found to be the most efficient. The third experiment presented two or more targets simultaneously and included a prediction algorithm, predicting a user's intended target. The force field starting after 30% of the path was found to be the least efficient and the least satisfying. The no-force condition was most efficient but was not rated higher than the two smallest fields.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2005/05// VL - 21 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 522 EP - 534 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - The widely accepted assumption that the equilibrium beach profile in the surf zone corresponds with uniform wave-energy dissipation per unit volume is directly examined in six cases from the large-scale SUPERTANK laboratory experiment. Under irregular waves, the pattern of wave-energy dissipation across a large portion of the surf zone became relatively uniform as the beach profile evolved toward equilibrium. Rates of wave-energy dissipation across a near-equilibrium profile calculated from wave decay in the surf zone support the prediction derived by DEAN(1977). Substantially different equilibrium beach-profile shapes and wave-energy dissipation rates and patterns were generated for regular waves as compared to irregular waves of similar statistical significant wave height and spectral peak period. Large deviation of wave-energy dissipation from the equilibrium rate occurred at areas on the beach profile with active net cross-shore sediment transport and substantial sedimentation and erosion. The rate of wave-energy dissipation was greater at the main breaker line and in the swash zone, as compared to middle of the surf zone. Based on analysis of the SUPERTANK data, a simple equation is developed for predicting the height of irregular waves in the surf zone on an equilibrium profile. The decay in wave height is proportional to the water depth to the one-half power, as opposed to values of unity or greater derived previously for regular waves.

The steps include initial application, grid refinements, addition of living resources, and grid refinements with recalibration. Performance statistics are presented for the mainstem bay and for the James River, a major tributary. Computed salinity has the lowest relative error. Computed total phosphorus and surface chlorophyll have the greatest relative error. Errors in the bay are lower than in the James River. The capacity of the model has increased substantially over more than a decade but quantitative performance, measured by the summary statistics, has reached a plateau. Limited spatial sampling, uncertainty in loading, and difficulty in assigning boundary conditions are among the factors that limit the accuracy that can be attained with the model.

The viral hemorrhagic fever viruses display a great deal of diversity in their genetic organization, vectors for transmission, and geographic distribution. They share common features in being able to induce a great deal of cellular damage and to elicit an immune response among humans that can result in severe hemorrhage, coagulopathy, shock, and death. The characteristics of the viral hemorrhagic fever viruses as arthropod-borne or rodent-borne viruses that can result in human illnesses with high morbidity and mortality rates make these viruses a unique threat, historically, currently, and in the future, to deployed soldiers around the world. In response to this threat, U.S. military scientists have been world leaders in the development of knowledge on the viral hemorrhagic fever viruses, from extensive fieldwork in areas in which these viruses are endemic, outbreak investigations of epidemics, and careful clinical studies elucidating the pathogenesis of severe disease. Defining the disease threat and creating practical countermeasures through the development of drugs and vaccines has been the major mission of military scientists and has resulted in numerous candidate vaccines currently in animal and human clinical trials.

A sample of 116 aviators-in-training enrolled in the Army's Initial Entry Rotary Wing aviator course at Fort Rucker, Alabama, participated in the study. Despite the occupational paradigm for each type of aviator (e.g., commissioned officers will typically focus on administrative and leadership skills, whereas warrant officers will typically specialize on individual piloting skills) and current Army policies focused on warrant officer aviator retention (e.g., additional monetary compensation), it was hypothesized that the aviators would not significantly differ with respect to these variables. A multivariate analysis of variance indicated that commissioned officer and warrant officer aviators did not significantly differ with respect to motivational orientation, preferences for future flight experience, and expectations of future flight experience. Hierarchical regression models were then developed to determine the relative importance of gender, officer type, and motivational orientation toward the prediction of preferences for and expectations of future flight experience. Motivational orientation contributed significantly to the prediction of preferences, whereas officer type contributed significantly to the prediction of expectations of future flight experience. Implications of these findings with respect to retention and job satisfaction, as well as methodological limitations of the study and future research directions, are reported.

ASCE has explicitly said the role of educators and practitioners in teaching the body of knowledge is critical and has listed faculty-related success factors for teaching the BOK. A key success factor is statement 465’s call for faculty and practitioners to properly prepare to “effectively engage students in the learning process.” This paper considers this challenge and discusses an instructor training program that effectively prepares faculty and practitioners to actively engage students in the learning process as envisioned by Policy Statement 465. We will show quantifiable evidence of the positive results gained by using this instructor training program through student and instructor feedback. Additionally, alternative shorter courses based on this program of preparation are highlighted that may be attended by the faculty of multiple engineering programs and by practitioners.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2005/04// VL - 170 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 309 EP - 314 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - A sample of 154,893 patient responses from the Customer Satisfaction Survey database was drawn for 1999 to 2000. Average patient satisfaction levels consistently appeared to be high (between 6, very satisfied, and 7, completely satisfied, on the 7-point rating scale). Hierarchical regression results essentially replicated all three major constructs of an earlier theoretical attitude model. Refinements included adjustment and addition of categorical age and military beneficiary status for individual patient variables, addition of two beliefs about the care itself, substitution of waiting time variables, and addition of reason for visit situation variables. Hypothesis test results indicated that patient satisfaction constructs were homogeneous across the uniformed services for patients from all service branches, both enrolled and not enrolled within TRICARE regions, and among branch of service medical center, hospital, and clinic facilities. The final attitude model coefficient of multiple determinations obtained was R²= 0.701 [F(25,154,867) = 14.539.33, p < 0.0001].

Although other techniques for confinement were used, most of the results presented here were obtained by the use of a constant confining pressure obtained by oil immersion. While many energetic materials fail by crack processes when unconfined, with all of the forms of confinement used here they appear to fail by plastic flow. For crystalline explosives, for example, TNT and composition B, the yield strength and the modulus are independent of confining pressure. However, for materials containing polymer binders such as plastic-bonded explosives, these properties are found to significantly increase with pressure.

In the past, high static power consumption discouraged the pursuit of bipolar FPGAs from being scaled up significantly. This paper details new ideas to reduce power in designing high-speed SiGe BiCMOS FPGAs. The paper explains new methods to reduce circuitry and utilize a novel power management scheme to achieve a flexible trade-off between power consumption and circuit speed. In addition, new decoding logic is developed with shared address and data lines. A SiGe FPGA test chip based on the Xilinx 6200 architecture has been fabricated for demonstration.

This prospective analysis examines the association between BMI of Soldiers at accession and risk of MID.Methods: A total of 736,608 Soldiers were followed from accession into the Army, 2001-2011. Data were analyzed January through March 2015. MID was categorized as any first incident lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder, and secondarily, as first incident injury/disorder at a specific site (i.e., hips, upper legs/thighs, knees, lower legs/ankles, feet/toes). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models estimated associations between BMI category at accession and MID risk.Results: During 15,678,743 person-months of follow-up, 411,413 cases of any first MID were documented (70,578 hip, 77,050 upper leg, 162,041 knee, 338,080 lower leg, and 100,935 foot injuries in secondary analyses). The overall MID rate was 2.62 per 100 person-months. Relative to Soldiers with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m(2)) at accession, those who were underweight (<18.5); overweight (25 to <30); or obese (≥30) had 7%, 11%, and 33% higher risk of MID, respectively, after adjustment. Risks were highest in Soldiers who were obese at accession, and lowest in those with a BMI of 21-23 kg/m(2).Conclusions: Soldier BMI at accession has important implications for MID. A BMI of 21-23 kg/m(2) in newly accessing Soldiers was associated with the lowest risk of incident MID, suggesting that accession be limited to people within this range to reduce overall incidence of MID among service personnel.

It is known that many of the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced by the APPJ are critical to these processes. Other key components to treatment include the ion and photon fluxes, and the electric fields produced in cells by the ionization wave of the APPJ striking in the vicinity of the cells. These relationships are often complicated by the cells being covered by a thin liquid layer—wet cells. In this paper, results from a computational investigation of the interaction of APPJs with tissue beneath a liquid layer are discussed. The emphasis of this study is the delivery of electric fields by an APPJ sustained in He/O2  =  99.8/0.2 flowing into humid air to cells lying beneath water with thickness of 200 μm. The water layer represents the biological fluid typically covering tissue during treatment. Three voltages were analyzed—two that produce a plasma effluent that touches the surface of the water layer and one that does not touch. The effect of the liquid layer thickness, 50 μm to 1 mm, was also examined. Comparisons were made of the predicted intracellular electric fields to those thresholds used in the field of bioelectronics.

The bits are read by measuring their effect on a magnetic probe field. Previously low permeability crystalline bits had been written in high permeability amorphous films of Metglas via laser heating. Here data is presented showing that by applying short laser pulses with the appropriate power to previously crystallized regions they can first be vitrified and then again crystallized. Thus, MAG PCM is rewriteable. Technical issues in processing the bits are discussed and results on thermal modeling are presented.

Reflection high energy electron diffraction during In adsorption experiments on a-plane InN surfaces revealed a stable In adlayer coverage of ∼2 ML. This In adlayer-mediated growth was responsible for achieving atomically smooth surfaces (rms roughness of <1 nm), phase-pure material with lower x-ray rocking curve widths (Δω<0.5°), lower crystal mosaic tilt/twist, and decreased stacking fault densities, compared to N-rich conditions. The photoluminescence peak emission and band gap energy of the a-plane InN films were ∼0.63 and ∼0.7 eV, respectively.

The tests were conducted using two boxes with electrode spacing of 87 cm (Box 1) and 174 cm (Box 2). The soil was formed of a sandy layer on top of a clayey sand layer. The soil contained bullet fragments and the mean initial lead concentration in the minus 2.00 mm soil fraction was 3041 mg/kg and 1187 mg/kg in the sand and clayey sand layers, respectively. A current density of 1.3 A/m2 was used in both tests and was doubled after 112 days of processing. organic acid was used to maintain the catholyte pH between 4 and 5. Box 1 and Box 2 were processed for 9 months and 11 months, respectively. The results showed that organic acid amendment at the cathode reduced the voltage and energy requirement by 70% and enhanced lead extraction. Lead transport showed a delay of about 14 days in the initial transport front development. For the conditions described in this study, the reactive rate of lead transport by ion migration and electroosmosis was 0.4 cm/day under 1 V/cm, which is less than 10% of the theoretical nonreactive value. There was a minimum limit for lead extraction from the soil by electrokinetics. Final lead concentrations in the treated sections were around 500 mg/kg in the sand and 400 mg/kg in the clayey sand. The results represent a reduced lead concentration by 85% in the sand and by 70% in the clayey sand. Complete breakthrough of lead did not occur due to accumulation near the cathode, even though catholyte pH was 4 to 5. A transverse upward transport and accumulation of lead at the soil surface was observed in both tests. Treatment duration of 9 months was adequate for Box 1, while 11 months of processing was not enough for Box 2 to bring the total lead concentration to below 500 mg/kg across the soil. Electrical energy cost for the process was between $14 and $18 per cubic meter per month.

A principle reason is the difficulty in linking engineering models used to simulate physicochemical processes associated with project design or operation with biological models used to simulate biological population attributes. A retrospective shows that each modeling tradition can be generally assigned (with exceptions) into either an Eulerian or Lagrangian reference framework. Eulerian and Lagrangian reference frameworks can be coupled to create a new synthesis, the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Hybrid Ecological Modeling Concept (CEL Hybrid Concept), capable of simulating different ecosystem processes that range widely in spatial and temporal scale. The foundation of the CEL Hybrid Concept is the coupler, a collection of algorithms based on conservation principles that transform and conserve data in a way that allows the two frameworks to share a common information base. The coupling algorithm allows the simulation to aggregate, disaggregate, and translate information, as required by each framework, so that processes that differ substantially in scale can each be adequately simulated. The coupled system is illustrated by linking a fish swim path selection model with a hydrodynamic and water quality model.

Methods: Quality indicators for processes and outcomes of care were obtained from a computerized system-wide database by patient administration and utilization management personnel unaware of this study and without connection to or interests in guideline implementation. These indicators were compared before and after guideline implementation. Results: After the asthma CPG, nebulizer treatments, emergency department visits, and admissions decreased significantly (p < 0.001 for all three) and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Periodic measurements of lung function and controller medication prescriptions were unchanged. After the diabetes mellitus CPG, microalbumin screens and education increased significantly (p < 0.001). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor prescriptions and yearly foot examinations decreased significantly, along with the percentage of patients with blood pressure of ≥ 130/85 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Mean hemoglobin A1C levels did not change significantly. After the tobacco cessation CPG, screening and education increased significantly (p < 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: The asthma CPG improved some processes and all outcomes. The diabetes CPG improved two of the eight measured processes but had no effect on outcomes. Education and screening, but not counseling, improved with the tobacco CPG. CPGs appear to improve diagnostic and educational processes more than provider-dependent treatment processes. Outcomes were improved after implementation of the asthma CPG but not after the diabetes CPG.

SN - 07490208 AB - The sediment budget is fundamental in coastal science and engineering. Budgets allow estimates to be made of the volume or volume rate of sediment entering and exiting a defined region of the coast and the surplus or deficit remaining in that region. Sediment budgets have been regularly employed with variations in approaches to determine the sources and sinks through application of the primary conservation of mass equation. Historically, sediment budgets have been constructed and displayed (in paper or maps. Challenges in constructing a sediment budget include determining the appropriate boundaries of the budget and interior cells; defining the possible range of sediment transport pathways, and the relative magnitude of each; representing the uncertainty associated with values and assumptions in the budget; and testing the sensitivity of the series of budgets to variations in the unknown and temporally-changing values. These challenges are usually addressed by representing a series of budget alternatives that are ultimately drawn on paper, maps, or graphs. Applications of the methodology include detailed local-scale sediment budgets, such as for an inlet or beach fill project, and large-scale sediment budgets for the region surrounding the study area. The local-scale budget has calculation cells representing features on the order of 10a to 100s of meters, and it must he shown separately from the regional sediment budget, with cells ranging from 100s of meters to kilometers. This paper reviews commonly applied sediment budget concepts and introduces new considerations intended to make the sediment budget process more reliable, streamlined, and understandable. The need for both local and regional sediment budgets is discussed, and the utility of combining, or collapsing, cells is shown to he beneficial for local budgets within a regional system. Collapsing all cells within the budget creates a "macrobudget," which can be applied to check for overall balance of values. An automated means of changing the magnitude of terms, while maintaining the same dependency on other values within the sediment budget, is presented. Finally, the need for and method of tracking uncertainty within the sediment budget, and a means for conducting sensitivity analyses, are discussed. These new concepts are demonstrated within the Sediment Budget Analysis System with an application for Long Island, New York, and Ocean City Inlet, Maryland.

The three most important natural processes affecting the long-term settlement and thus service life of dredged material placement areas are primary consolidation, secondary compression, and desiccation. Nonlinear finite-strain consolidation theory is used to predict the settlement due to self-weight and surcharge-induced consolidation. The Cα/Cc concept is used to predict the settlement from secondary compression, and an empirical desiccation model is used to describe the settlement from removal of water from confined dredged material by surface drying. This paper describes the modifications and improvements of PSDDF that present new functions and enhanced numerical efficiency. A companion paper describes the input parameters of PSDDF.

In addition, consolidation and desiccation parameters for 27 dredged materials are presented from 20 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers placement areas to facilitate usage of PSDDF. The consolidation parameters of three cohesionless soils for sand capping and drainage and three compressible foundation materials are included to provide a PSDDF user with suitable parameters for these material types. To reduce the difficulty of obtaining the consolidation and desiccation parameters for dredged material, empirical correlations between the required parameters and soil index properties are presented.

Medical Defense Against Mustard Gas: Toxic Mechanisms and Pharmacological Implications. Boca Raton: CRC Press, pp. 43-78.], is a chemical warfare agent as well as a potential terrorism agent. SM-induced skin blistering is believed to be due to epidermal-dermal detachment as a result of epidermal basal cell death via apoptosis and/or necrosis. Regarding the role of apoptosis in SM pathology in animal skin, the results obtained in several laboratories. including ours, suggest the following: 11 cell death due to SM begins via apoptosis that proceeds to necrosis via an apoptotic-necrotic continuum and 2) inhibiting apoptosis decreases SM-induced microvesication in vivo. To study the mechanisms of SM- induced apoptosis and its prevention in vitro, we have established a convenient fluorometric apoptosis assay using monolayer human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK) adaptable for multiwell plates (24-, 96-, or 384-well) and high-throughput applications. This assay allows replication and multiple types of experimental manipulation in sister cultures so that the apoptotic mechanisms and the effects of test compounds can be compared statistically. SM affects diverse cellular mechanisms, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ homeostasis, mitochondrial functions, energy metabolism, and death receptors, each of which can independently trigger apoptosis. However, the biochemical pathway in any of these apoptotic mechanisms is characterized by a pathway-specific sequence of caspases, among which caspase-3 is a key member. Therefore, we exposed 80-9O%confluent HEK cultures to SM and monitored apoptosis by measuring the fluorescence generated due to hydrolysis of a fluorogen caspase-3 substrate (acetyl- or benzyl oxycarhonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp- fluorochrorne, also designated as AC-or Z-DEVD- fluorochrome) added to the assay medium. Fluorescence was measured using a plate reader. We used two types of substrates, one Sigma-Aldrich, CASP-3-F) required cell disruption and the other (Beckman-Coulter CeliProbe HI Caspase-3/7 Whole Cell Assay Kit) was cell permeable. The latter substrate was useful in experiments such as determining the time-course of apoptosis immediately following SM exposure without disruption (e.g., due to cell processing). In SM-exposed HEK, fluorescence generated from the fluorogenic caspase-3 substrate hydrolysis increased in a time (0-24 h) and concentration (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 mM) dependent manner. SM caused maximum fluorescence at about 0.5 mM. However, at 2 mM SM, fluorescence decreased compared with 0.5 mM, which remains to be explained. Following 0.3 mM SM exposure, which is considered to be the in vitro equivalent of a vesicating dose in vivo (Smith, W. J., Sanders, K. M., Ruddle, S. E., Gross, C. L. (1993). Cytometric analysis of DNA changes induced by sulfur mustard. J. Toxicol.-Cut. Ocular Toxicol. 124):337 -347.), a small fluorescence increase was observed at 6 to S h, which was markedly higher at 12 h. At 24 h. all SM concentrations increased fluorescence. Fluorescence increase due to SM was prevented 100% by a caspase-3-specific peptide inhibitor AC-DEVD-CI1O (acetyl-Azp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde, 0.1 mM), but less effectively by a genera! caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (benzyl oxycarbonyl-Val-Ala- Asp-fluoromethylketone, 0.01 mM), indicating that the fluorescence increase was due to caspase-3 -mediated apoptosis. These results suggest potential applications of this method to study apoptosis mechanisms involving caspase-3 substrates and possibly those involving other caspase substrates.

Methods: Inpatient trauma cases from Army hospitals world-wide from October 1988 through April 2001 were analyzed. Facilities included 3 Certified Trauma Centers (CTCs), 7 non-CTC Army Medical Centers, and 42 Army Community Hospitals. Logistic regression identified mortality risk factors. Results: Overall, the Army treated 166.124 trauma cases, with a mortality rate of 0.8% (trend of 0.66% to 1.18% in fiscal years 1989-2000, p < 0.0001). The number of Army hospitals decreased by 44% and the number of trauma cases decreased by nearly 75%. Injury severity, patient age. hospital trauma volume, beneficiary category, hospital type, and a resource intensity measure were all significantly associated with the probability of death. Conclusions: The overall trauma mortality rate at Army hospitals during the study period was lower than that reported for civilian trauma centers. However, changes in patient profiles, increased average severity, and decreased trauma volume might have contributed to a 13% increase in mortality rates at CTCs.

The article compares peacetime health care systems within the Department of Defense and the formulary systems developed and used within the fixed facility environment with Department of Defense contingency health care operations systems and the complications encountered while attempting formulary development for the deployed environment. Despite great difficulties, the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board developed, published, and marketed a jointly approved, standardized, modernized formulary to assist forces deploying for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The process used by the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board during formulary development is described in detail, giving readers an understanding of the foundations of the Joint Deployment Formulary. The military departments will experience the benefits of enhanced supply chain predictability and responsiveness, increased clinician satisfaction, and improved patient safety and health care quality by implementing the Joint Deployment Formulary for their forces engaged in contingency operations.

SN - 00068314 AB - A 4-month deployment on Ice Station Weddell (ISW) in the western Weddell Sea yielded over 2000 h of nearly continuous surface-level meteorological data, including eddy-covariance measurements of the turbulent surface fluxes of momentum, and sensible and latent heat. Those data lead to a new parameterization for the roughness length for wind speed, z0, for snow-covered sea ice that combines three regimes: an aerodynamically smooth regime, a high-wind saltation regime, and an intermediate regime between these two extremes where the macroscale or `permanent' roughness of the snow and ice determines z0. Roughness lengths for temperature, zT, computed from this data set corroborate the theoretical model that Andreas published in 1987. Roughness lengths for humidity,zQ, do not support this model as conclusively but are all, on average, within an order of magnitude of its predictions. Only rarely arezTand zQ equal to z0. These parameterizations have implications for models that treat the atmosphere-ice-ocean system.

Similar solutions and their resemblance to solitons in integrable systems were observed numerically before in vector Maxwell systems. The simplicity of SG allows us to perform an asymptotic analysis of counterpropagating pulses, as well as a fully resolved computation over rectangular domains. Numerical experiments are carried out on single pulse propagation and on two pulse collision under different orientations. The particle nature, as known for solitons, persists in these two space dimensional solutions as long as the amplitudes of initial data range in a finite interval, similar to the conditions on the vector Maxwell systems.

It is also not certain whether objective data archived in organizational records are the"gold standard"metric they are often touted to be. This study compared self-report data obtained from active duty soldiers (N = 433) to their data maintained in organizational records. Performance measures included (a) demonstration of effort (i.e., number of military awards), (b) physical health and fitness (i.e., army physical fitness test score, number of sick call visits, duty restriction for health reasons), (c) soldiering proficiency (i.e., individual weapon qualification score), and (d) personal discipline (i.e., violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, cases of indebtedness, and substance abuse counseling referral). Slight to moderate concordance was found between all self-report and unit records of soldier performance. When there was a misclassification, the majority of soldier self-reports demonstrated positive bias for measures that were directly job related in the Army (e.g., M16 rifle qualification performance and physical fitness). However, there were also cases of negative bias for other aspects of performance (e.g., sick call, indebtedness, substance abuse referral). In general, results from previous research linking positive self-presentation with positive affect and job attitudes were not replicated. The role of errors in both archival records and self-reported data are discussed, along with implications for developing a gold standard method of collecting performance data.

To identify neuropathic indices of toxicity, the effects of varying concentrations (0 to 2 mM) of TNB on cytotoxicity and cellular metabolic activity were examined using cultured astrocytes from Fischer-344 rats. The cytotoxicity was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage into the culture medium. Astrocyte metabolic activity was assessed by measuring the conversion of a tetrazolium salt to a formazan product. Additionally, the effects of oxidative stress on cellular metabolic activity were determined by varying oxygen tension via alteration of culture media depth. In vitro, the toxic concentration 50% (TC 50 ) of TNB, which induced cell death, was 16 µM following a 24-h exposure. The concentration of TNB that reduced cellular metabolic activity by 50% was 29 µM following a 24-h exposure. Varying the depth of the culture media did not influence the cellular metabolic activity in control or TNB-treated astrocytes. These results support the hypothesis that TNB induced neurotoxicity could partially be mediated via injury to astrocytes, a major component of the blood-brain barrier.

Level 1, FMS 2000. Thermal Angel, and Ranger, were compared to evaluate their potential for medical use in forward military echelons of care. Lactated Ringer's solution (LR) and Hextend at room temperature (20°C) or refrigerated temperature (4-7°C and packed red blood cells at 4°C to 7° were used with each warmer at two different flow rates. The FMS 2000 consistently warmed all fluids to approximately 37°C. regardless of the starting temperature or flow rate. The Level 1 and Ranger also efficiently warmed all fluids except cold LR to approximately 37°. The Thermal Angel generally warmed room temperature fluid, cold Hextend, and packed red blood cells to at least 33°C to 34°C but could not warm cold LR. The clinical standard is to have fluids warmed to 32°C at a minimum and more preferably to 34°C to 35°C. Of the fluid warmers tested, only the Thermal Angel failed to achieve such a temperature in warming cold LR. Data from the present study suggest the Ranger and FMS 2000 to be operationally adaptable to at least echelons 1 and 2, respectively, whereas far-forward use of the Thermal Angel has limitations.

Methods: We designed a customized survey instrument because no preexisting, validated, survey instrument was available. A query was performed in the Medical Operations Data System to identify all captains (0-3) currently on active duty in the Army (N = 348). The survey sample included 64 junior officers with a 2000 date of rank to captain (0-3), of whom only 52 were in the Medical Command Outlook address book or the Army Knowledge Online white pages. The questionnaire was sent out to these targeted junior dental officers through their official e-mail accounts. Dentists assigned to Korea and to dental field units do not use the same e-mail system as the rest of the Dental Command: therefore, their addresses were not available. In an attempt to increase response rates, commanders were asked to emphasize the importance of responding to the questionnaire. Results: From the sample population of 52 officers who were queried directly, 34 responses were received, for a response rate of 65%. However, commanders forwarded the survey to all Dental Command captains and 102 responses were received. The respondents represented 30% of the total Army inventory of captains; 92% of respondents reported that they had dental school loans, with 43% reporting loans in excess of $50,000. The average dental school indebtedness was approximately $60,700. More than 60% of all respondents reported that loan repayment could change their minds about remaining on active duty. Officers not included in the original sample rated the impact of loan repayment statistically higher than did officers in the original sample. Conclusions: The findings were that the majority of junior Army dental officers had significant student loans and many of these officers indicated that they would consider remaining on...

SN - 07490208 AB - Restoration projects have an uncertain outcome because of a lack of information about current site conditions, historical disturbance levels, effects of landscape alterations on site development, unpredictable trajectories or patterns of ecosystem structural development, and many other factors. Because of these uncertainties, project costs can rise dramatically in an attempt to come closer to project goals. All of the potential sources of error can be addressed to a certain degree through adaptive management. The first step is admitting that these uncertainties can exist, and addressing as many of the uncertainties with planning and directed research prior to implementing the project. The second step is to evaluate uncertainties through hypothesis-drive experiments during project implementation. The third step is to use the monitoring program to evaluate and adjust the project as needed to improve the probability that the project will reach its goal. The fourth and final step is to use the information gained in the project to improve future projects. A framework that includes a clear goal statement, a conceptual model, and an evaluation framework can help in this adaptive restoration process. Projects and programs vary in their application of adaptive management in restoration, and it is very difficult to be highly prescriptive in applying adaptive management to projects that necessarily vary widely in scope, goal, ecosystem characteristics, and uncertainties. One project, which included directed research and site assessments, resulted in successful restoration of seagrasses near a ferry terminal in Puget Sound and illustrates how an adaptive management process can assist in improving the outcome of small projects. We recommended that all restoration programs be conducted in adaptive management framework, and where appropriate, a more active adaptive management approach be applied.

This is at least partially due to the lack of established muscle repair models. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of stitches in transected porcine and bovine muscle bellies. A biomechanical protocol was designed for measuring suture performance in muscle belly lacerations. Twenty simple stitches in porcine and 21 stitches in bovine specimens were tested. Individual stitches were placed in lacerated muscle bellies and tensioned on a biomechanical tester (model 8521S, Instron Corporation, Canton, MA). The mean maximum load for porcine (22.0 N) and bovine (23.9 N) stitches was not significantly different (p = .48). The difference in mean strains at maximum load between porcine (9.7%) and bovine (8.0%) groups was statistically significant (p = .004). Failure mechanisms were similar. One porcine stitch avulsed the muscle transversely, while 19 stitches tore out longitudinally. All 20 stitches tore out in bovine specimens. Sutured muscle was the weakest element in each test. The present study demonstrated that sutured muscles performed similarly for the two mammals regarding the parameters of maximum load and mechanism of failure. Regarding suturing of skeletal muscle lacerations, both mammalian models had similar biomechanical performance for maximum loads and failure mechanisms, while strain data differed. The stitch load magnitudes in this study approximate those required to successfully repair transected muscle. Knowledge introduced by this study fills a gap concerning muscle stitching relevant to clinical care.

The oxide was found to be about 2.5?nm in thickness with a part amorphous and part crystalline nature. It appears highly porous, allowing the permeation of water molecules from humidity, linkable with the aging characteristics. The aluminum crystal lattice revealed a slight compressive stress. A model of the oxidation was developed to characterize the process. Finally the presence of impurities detected in the nanoaluminum is revealed as a trigger to low-temperature (below the melting point) autocatalytic reactions.

We experimentally measured the correlation of motional impedance (RX) and quality factor (Q) with the resonators’ silicon layer thickness (tSi). For identical lateral dimensions and PZT-layer thicknesses (tPZT), the PZT-on-silicon resonator has higher resonant frequency (fC), higher Q (5100 versus 140), lower RX (51 Ω versus 205 Ω), and better linearity [third-order input intercept point (IIP3) of +43.7 dBm versus +23.3 dBm]. In contrast, the PZT-only resonator demonstrated much wider frequency tuning range (5.1% versus 0.2%).

The strong peak emission wavelength blueshift and concomitant superlinear increase in light output as the injection current increases below 25 A/cm2 are characteristic of radiative tunneling. We show that the combination of two-dimensional hole gas formation on the n-InGaN side of the heterointerface and enhancement of the electron barrier to transport across this interface results in only ∼10% efficiency droop up to 500 A/cm2 without implementation of an AlGaN electron-blocking layer or a second heterointerface.

We analyzed the structure and chemistry of this interface for the thermally grown SiO2/4H-SiC heterostructure using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Z-contrast scanning TEM, and spatially resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The analyses revealed the presence of distinct layers, several nanometers thick, on each side of the interface; additionally, partial amorphization of the top SiC surface was observed. These interfacial layers were attributed to the formation of a ternary Si–C–O phase during thermal oxidation.

The terahertz signal exhibits a 360° periodicity with sample rotation and a polarity flip at 180°, characteristic of real carrier transport in an in-plane electric field parallel to the c axis induced by stacking fault (SF)-terminated internal polarization at wurtzite domain boundaries. The terahertz emission can be enhanced by several times relative to that from a SF-free m-GaN sample, for which the terahertz signal emanates from surface surge currents and diffusion-driven carrier transport normal to the surface and is independent of the c-axis orientation.

Isothermal-temporal annealing experiments revealed that the films annealed utilizing UV assist possessed enhanced crystallization and lattice parameters closer to bulk values with respect to conventional thermal annealed films. The leakage current density and dielectric loss of the films was significantly reduced by employing UV-assisted annealing without degradation of film tunability. Mitigation of oxygen vacancies, associated with the UV-assisted annealing, is deemed responsible for the improvement of the dielectric and electrical properties of the BST thin films.

In addition, a global measurement of the average hydraulic conductivity of the soil-bentonite backfill in one of the cutoff walls was made using the pilot-scale test facility. Two main factors distinguish these five different methods of measuring hydraulic conductivity: remolding and sample size. Remolding of samples tested in American Petroleum Institute filter press equipment significantly reduced their hydraulic conductivity compared to the hydraulic conductivity of undisturbed samples, which were of similar size. For the other tests, where the degree and extent of remolding were less significant, hydraulic conductivity was found to increase as sample size increased, with the global measurement producing the highest value. The existence of bentonite filter cakes on trench walls reduces the influence of sample size on the equivalent hydraulic conductivity of the barrier. Findings regarding locating defects with a piezocone and hydraulic fracture in piezometer tests are also presented.

A recent research program has studied the in situ mechanical properties of the annual ice in Antarctica to support the development of physically based models of the breakup process. As part of this effort, two field trips were conducted to McMurdo Sound, and the present paper describes the experimental work and presents selected results. The in situ experiments investigated the constitutive and fracture behavior of edge-notched, square plate specimens of first-year ice and involved a detailed characterization of the physical properties and thermal state of the ice. Acoustic emissions, which are generated by microcracking, were monitored in the crack tip vicinity and provide insight regarding the size of the process zone. The paper describes the physical properties and microstructure of the sheet, the cyclic-loading response, and the acoustic emissions activity from an extensive series of experiments conducted on one of the in situ specimens. Varying the cyclic-loading frequency and amplitude provided a means to examine rate effects on the anelastic and viscous components of strain and the extent of microcracking near the crack tip. The viscous deformation rate estimated from the experiments exhibited an increasing power-law exponent with values between one and three. Acoustic emissions monitoring indicated that microcracking occurred in a process zone near the crack tip, and the size of the process zone increased with decreasing cyclic loading frequency. Practical aspects of the experiments are considered, and the results are put into context with the overall modeling goals of the project.

Conformal transformation and the complex function method are used to obtain the stress distribution in the matrix at the interior boundary. The stress field in the rectangular inclusion is derived by solving for two important variables characterizing the expanded equilibrium boundary determined by the principle of minimum strain energy. The compressive stress acting on the long side of the rectangular inclusion acts as a crack driving force., The model is used to predict the occurrence of cracking due to volumetric expansion of ice in a specific composite, EXTREN, that has been observed in experiments. The model can be adapted to predict fatigue life of composites under freeze-thaw conditions.

To assess the impact of continuing circulation of VEE virus (VEEV) on human and animal populations, serologic and viral isolation studies were conducted in 2000 to 2001 in Chiapas State. Human serosurveys and risk analyses indicated that long-term endemic transmission of VEEV occurred among villages with seroprevalence levels of 18% to 75% and that medical personnel had a high risk for VEEV exposure. Seroprevalence in wild animals suggested cotton rats as possible reservoir hosts in the region. Virus isolations from sentinel animals and genetic characterizations of these strains indicated continuing circulation of a subtype IE genotype, which was isolated from equines during the recent VEE outbreaks. These data indicate long-term enzootic and endemic VEEV circulation in the region and continued risk for disease in equines and humans.

Thirty-five male soldiers were randomly assigned to one of four training groups: total body resistance training plus endurance training (RT + ET). upper body resistance training plus endurance training (UB + ET). RT only, and ET only. Training was performed 4 days per week for 12 weeks. Testing occurred before and after the 12-week training regimen. All groups significantly improved push-up performance, whereas only the RT - ET group did not improve sit-up performance. The groups that included ET significantly decreased 2-mile run time, however, only RT - ET and UB + ET showed improved loaded 2-mile run time. Leg power increased for groups that included lower body strengthening exercises (RT and RT + ET). Army Physical Fitness Test performance, loaded running, and leg power responded positively to training, however, it appears there is a high degree of specificity when concurrent training regimens are implemented.

This note presents equations for use in a screening procedure to evaluate the impact of a CDF on groundwater. The hydrologic evaluation of leachate production and quality model was used to simulate leachate production and transport through the foundation considering a range of foundation soil characteristics and contaminant properties. The model results were used to develop predictive equations of contaminant attenuation and travel time in the foundation soils. When used with equations to predict dispersion in the aquifer, contaminant exposures at receptor locations can be predicted, which is essential in leachate screening applications. The approach does not consider degradation or permanent sequestration of contaminants. Therefore, the procedure is conservative in that it may overestimate actual leachate concentrations and underestimate actual travel times.

Motor vehicle fatality rates from 1980 to 1997 indicated both groups showed declines in fatality rates. The overall age-adjusted motor vehicle fatality rate for 17- to 44-year-old males in the Army fell from 40.8 to 20.6 per 100.000, a 49.5% decline, In the U.S. population, the rate dropped from 38.1 to 23.3 per 100.000 for a 38.8% decline. Deaths from motor vehicle crashes fell by almost 50% in the Army during the study period; however, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for the Army. U.S. military policies and law enforcement have the potential to make even further gains in reducing motor vehicle crashes and injuries among military personnel.

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of a pneumatic leg brace on return-to-activity and pain in soldiers with tibial stress fractures. Methods and Measures: Thirty-one subjects diagnosed with tibial stress fractures were randomly assigned to either a brace or control group. Dependent variables included time to pain-free single-leg hopping, visual analog pain scale, and time to a pain-free 1-mile run. Twenty subjects (10 brace. 10 control) completed a detailed functional progression culminating in a 1-mile run. Results: There was no difference between groups for time to pain-free hop (p>0.86; power = 0.43) and time to pain-free 1-mile run (p>0.24; power -0.92). Subjects in both groups experienced statistically significant improvements in pain measurements (p< 0.002). but no difference was found between groups (p> 0.93). Conclusion: The current study demonstrated no added benefit of Aircast leg braces in the treatment of tibial stress fractures in the military training environment.

Although sites and mechanisms of action and the pathologies caused by different chemical insults vary, common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes provide targets for MTMC drugs. This article will review the MTMC hypothesis for blister and nerve agents and will expand the scope of the concept to include other chemicals as well as briefly consider biological agents. The article will also consider how common biochemical signaling pathways, molecular mediators, and cellular processes that contribute to clinical pathologies and Syndromes may relate to the toxicity of threat agents. Discovery of MTMC provides the opportunity for the integration of diverse researchers and clinicians, and for the exploitation of cutting-edge technologies and drug discovery. The broad-spectrum nature of MTMC can augment military and civil defense to combat chemical warfare and chemical terrorism.

JO - Hydrobiologia JF - Hydrobiologia Y1 - 2004/11// VL - 529 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 187 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 00188158 AB - Devils Lake in northeastern North Dakota (USA) is a terminal lake of glacial origin with a substantial sulfate content. Since 1940, the lake water level has risen over 13.5m and salinity has decreased. Devils Lake consists of a series of interconnected basins with sulfate concentration increasing in an eastward direction from 450mg/l in West Bay to 3000mg/l in East Devils Lake. Using sulfate as a tracer and linking measurements of specific conductance with observed time series of water surface elevations, wind, and water velocity, this paper illustrates the magnitude and dynamics of mass transport and exchange processes between the multiple basins of Devils Lake. Measurements show small horizontal salinity gradients within the lake basins, but large salinity gradients in some of the exchange zones connecting basins. Vertical salinity gradients were observed in small basins and near exchange zones with strong horizontal salinity differentials. These instances of vertical stratification were associated with buoyancy driven exchange flows and wind sheltering. Exchange flow velocities between selected basins were correlated with wind direction and speed. Interbasin exchange flows were found to reverse direction frequently in response to the prevailing wind direction. Flow direction frequencies in one specific exchange zone were 31% west to east, 48% east to west, and 21% bidirectional (stratified). At the lake level observed in 2000, time averaged, measured interbasin exchange flow rates were 30--40m3/s compared to tributary inflow rates to the lake of 3--9m3/s.

The nettle leaf infusion was fractionated and HPLC-based enzymatic assays were performed to determine the capacity of each fraction to inhibit the protease activity of botulinum neurotoxin type A and B light chains. Assay results demonstrated that a water-soluble fraction obtained from the nettle leaf infusion inhibited type A, but did not inhibit type B light chain protease activity. The inhibition mode of water soluble fraction against protease activity of type A light chain was analyzed and found to be a non-competitive.

We predicted that zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), genetic structure in the Mississippi River would follow a model of invasive species genetics, which predicts low genetic structure among populations of recently established species. This prediction was upheld in our previous genetic study using allozymes, however, one locus yielded anomalous results. 2. We employed amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis as a neutral marker to assess the amount of genetic structure within and among populations, and as a test of expected population structure from both invasion genetic theory, and the results from our previous study. 3. There was greater spatial differentiation, as measured by Fst, observed using AFLP's than for allozymes (P < 0.001). There was no evidence that AFLP variation conformed to an isolation by distance model, and genetic relationships of populations, as measured by AFLP markers, were not similar to those detected in our allozyme survey. 4. The lack of concordance between these two genetic marker systems probably reflects their differential responses to drift, migration, and selection occurring during this rapid invasion. Strong population structure is counter to predictions that populations of invasive species will not be differentiated, as with observations based on allozyme markers. Therefore, newly established species may require genetic surveys using multiple marker systems to evaluate population structure.

Using the mouse ear vesicant model(MEVM), we evaluated the effect of topically applied anti-inflammatory agents(octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide) on ear edema formation and gene expression following SM exposure. Relative ear weight and real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 were used to evaluate the effects of octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide. Both vanilloids significantly reduced SM-induced edema. At the single dose and number of animals/group tested, octyl homovanillamide produced a trend of reduced mRNA levels; however, the reduction was not significant for GM-CSF, IL-1β, or IL-6. Heptyl isovanillamide significantly reduced(p ≤ 0.05) GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA levels. These results show that octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide reduce skin edema and heptyl isovanillamide significantly reduced cytokine mRNA expression following SM exposure. In addition to measuring edema formation, monitoring expression of biomarkers such as GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 may also serve to evaluate therapeutic treatments against SM-induced dermal injury.

JO - IEE Proceedings -- Radar, Sonar & Navigation JF - IEE Proceedings -- Radar, Sonar & Navigation Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 151 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 307 EP - 316 PB - Institution of Engineering & Technology SN - 13502395 AB - The authors present a study of the backscattered signatures from various types of land-mines placed either on the Earth's surface or buried underground, and their time-frequency (t- v) distributions. A BoomSAR designed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) transmits ultra- wideband (UWB) signals to a test area to be inspected. The backscattered signals are used to form synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and also the corresponding time-frequency distributions. The t- v plots are generated of the distributions of several mines and ‘confusers’ (i.e. undesirable debris that are similar to mines in terms of amplitude and shape). For both metal and plastic mines, SAR images are generated and the t- v distributions are obtained using the backscattered signals generated by an electromagnetic (EM) numerical model and are compared against the measured data. Time-frequency characteristics of mines and confusers that may be useful for demining purposes are investigated. Although measurements and EM predictions show good agreement in most cases, the main purpose of the work is to obtain the characteristics of the t- v distributions of the actual (dielectric and conducting) mines used, as well as those of the ‘confusers’ so that they can be distinguished from the true mines. This has been achieved in all cases shown, and many distinctive features of each have been identified. These could later be used for the development of automated algorithms for in-situ mine detection and could be combined with alternative approaches that have also shown promise for classification purposes, as planned for future research.

Data from 65 men were examined retrospectively. BM fluctuations were monitored over 4 to 15 consecutive days. Group daily variation in BM was 0.51 ± 0.20 kg. Group coefficient of variation was 0.66 ± 0.24%, normally distributed, and not related to either absolute BM (r = 0.04) or number of measurements (r = 0.34). Three days resulted in a similar variability estimate compared to 6 or 9 d, although precision was improved with 9 d. In conclusion, 3 consecutive BM measurements provide an accurate assessment of daily BM variability, which is less than 1% for active men when replacing 100% of sweat losses during exercise. The data also suggest that daily BM is a sufficiently stable physiological parameter for potential daily fluid balance monitoring.

The controller consists of four neural networks, three of which map equipment behavior and one that acts as a global controller. The controller self-learns equipment responses to the environment and then determines the control settings that should be used. Issues to be addressed are the cost function and selection of a planning window over which the optimization is conducted. The neural network (NN) controller then determines the sequence of control actions that minimize total cost over the planning window. Verification, reported on in a companion paper, is accomplished through computer simulation and on an operational plant.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/10// VL - 169 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 761 EP - 767 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - A lack of individual exposure information limited the evaluation of exposure-outcome relationships after the Gulf War. Exposure concerns during Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom deployments have increased interest in individual environmental and occupational chemical exposure assessment. Currently, deployment assessments are conducted using intermittent ambient air monitoring, occasional focused evaluations based on these results, and post deployment questionnaire documentation of exposure and/or health concerns. Although this strategy is an improvement over previous practice, it has limitations, including a reliance on evidence of an acute problem, to initiate in-depth health evaluation. Exposure biomarkers may have the potential to overcome some of the limitations of current environmental and occupational exposure assessment tools. This article examines current exposure assessment methods, reviews emerging technologies, and recommends a phased approach to introducing exposure biomarkers into a comprehensive occupational and environmental health surveillance program.

SN - 07490208 AB - Wave transformation in the region of Cape Fear. NC, is investigated through field measurements and application of the numerical spectral wave model STWAVE. Field data on offshore and nearshore directional waves, high-resolution bathymetry, tide, and wind were collected starting in the fall of 2000, The applicability of using offshore gauge data as input along the model boundary was evaluated by additional modeling on a coarse grid extending seaward beyond the influence of irregular shelf bathymetry. Model evaluation is presented based on three storm events. For nearshore model and gauge results paired in time, the root-mean-square error in wave height is 0.2-0.5 m and in wave direction is 14-24 deg. The relative importance of accurate bathymetry, tide, wind, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and spectral shape (measured versus parameterized) are examined with model sensitivity studies. Impacts on potential longshore transport computations are also considered. High-resolution bathymetry is found to be most significant in reducing model versus gauge differences. Use of parametric input spectra gave comparable results to input of measured two-dimensional spectra for the selected storms.

SN - 07490208 AB - Many contaminated sediments and dredged material mixtures of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments occur in wavedominated environments. In-situ analysis is imperative in understanding the erosion and transport of these sediments. Recent research efforts have developed a flume with unidirectional flow that can measure in-situ sediment erosion with depth (SEDflume). However, the flow regime for the SEDflume has limited applicability to wave-dominated environments. Therefore, a unique device, called the SEAWOLF flume, was developed and used by Sandia National Laboratories to simulate high-shear stress erosion processes experienced in coastal waters where wave forcing dominates the system. The SEAWOLF is capable of testing in-situ or laboratory prepared cores. Erosion rates of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments prepared in the laboratory were determined in oscillatory and combined oscillatory and linear flow regimes. Results of these tests were compared to results from the unidirectional SEDflume. Although maximum shear stresses for oscillatory flows were as high as 7 Pa for the tests, the associated erosion rate for specific sediment over the entire wave cycle were comparable to much lower shear stresses found for constant, linear flows. For example, sediment exposed to a maximum of 7 Pa over a 15 s period resulted in erosion rates similar to results for a constant linear shear stress of 3.4 Pa. Analysis of results for all sediments tested led to a determination of values for an effective shear stress that relates wave-induced erosion to linear flow induced erosion.

This procedure utilizes information obtained from joint sequential simulation to establish the relationship between model uncertainty and variation of model inputs. Using this procedure, model variance can be partitioned by model input parameters on a cell by cell basis. In the partitioning, the correlation of neighboring cells is accounted for. With traditional uncertainty analysis methods, this is not possible. In a case study, spatial variation of soil erodibility from a joint sequential simulation of soil properties was analyzed. The results showed that the regression approach is a very effective method in the analysis of the relationship between variation of the model output and model input parameters. It was also shown for the case study that: (1) the uncertainty of soil erodibility of a cell is mainly propagated from its own soil properties; (2) the interactions of soil properties of neighboring cells could reduce uncertainty of soil erodibility; (3) it is sufficient for uncertainty analysis to include the nearest three neighboring cell groups; and (4) the largest uncertainty contributors vary by soil properties and location.

In these experiments, thickness of the densified foundation layer was systematically increased, resulting in a comprehensive set of dam-foundation response data. Herein, Class-A and Class-B numerical simulations of these experiments are conducted using a two-phase (solid and fluid) fully coupled finite element code. This code incorporates a plasticity-based soil stress–strain model with the modeling parameters partially calibrated based on earlier studies. The physical and numerical models both indicate reduced deformations and increased crest accelerations with the increase in densified layer thickness. Overall, the differences between the computed and recorded dam displacements are under 50%. At most locations, the computed excess pore pressure and acceleration match the recorded counterparts reasonably well. Based on this study, directions for further improvement of the numerical model are suggested.

Measured stand characteristics included canopy density (67% and 75%) and basal area (43.4 and 24.1 m2 ha-1) for the higher and lower elevations, respectively. Temperature, relative humidity, net radiation, wind speed, and mass of snow on suspended trees provided data to determine whether sublimation rates of intercepted snow are more rapid at higher elevations associated with increased wind speed. Measurements showed the unexpected result that wind speed during sublimation periods was lower at higher elevations, probably because of terrain sheltering. The analysis examined 21 storm-free periods ranging in duration from 9 to 53 h. Sublimation rates per unit mass of intercepted snow were significantly larger at the lower-elevation site associated with warmer temperatures, lower relative humidity, and greater wind speeds. Application of meteorological data to an ice sphere model indicated that predicted mean sublimation rates of an ice sphere index were 23% ± 7% more rapid at the lower elevation due to weather factors alone. However, greater snowfall at higher elevations produced greater interception, resulting in substantially more snow being sublimated back to the atmosphere at the upper site. Over the study period, sublimation of snow intercepted by the test trees amounted to 20%–30% of total snowfall accumulated at the sites during the 21 storms selected for analysis.

The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate. Canopy cover is represented in terms of shortwave transmissivity and sky-view factor. The cases studied are a spruce forest in the Wolf Creek basin, Yukon Territory, Canada, and a pine forest near Fraser, Colorado. Of particular interest are the atmospheric conditions that favor an offset between shortwave energy attenuation and longwave irradiance enhancement by the canopy, such that net radiation does not decrease with increasing forest density. Such an offset is favored in dry climates and at high altitudes, where atmospheric emissivities are low, and in early spring when snow albedos are high and solar elevations are low. For low snow albedos, a steady decrease in snowmelt energy with increasing canopy cover is found, up to a forest density close to the actual densities of mature spruce forests. Snowmelt rates for high albedos are either insensitive or increase with increasing canopy cover. At both sites, foliage area indices close to 2 are associated with a minimum in net radiation, independent of snow albedo or cloud cover. However, these results are more uncertain for open forests because solar heating of trees may invalidate the longwave assumptions, increasing the longwave irradiance.

Solid phase microextraction fibers are polymer-coated silica fibers that sorb dissolved organic compounds from water and sediment. We investigated their concentrations as measures of exposure for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its degradation products in acute sediment and water-only toxicity tests with Tubifex tubifex, Chironomus tentans, and Ceriodaphnia dubia. Results from these exposures allowed us to compare solid phase microextraction fibers concentrations to two conventional measures of toxicant dose: external matrix (water, sediment) and internal (organism) concentrations. Because trinitrotoluene degrades within sediment and organisms, doses based on sediment, water, and organism concentrations were calculated using the molar sum of trinitrotoluene and its nitroaromatic degradation products. Among species and matrixes, median lethal doses based on solid phase microextraction fiber and organism concentrations ranged from 12.6 to 55.3 (μmol nitroaromatic per ml polyacrylate and 83.4 to 172.3 nmol nitroaromatic per gram tissue, wet weight, respectively. In contrast to matrix concentrations, which are specific to sediment or water, both organism and solid phase microextraction fiber concentrations appeared to provide measures of dose independent of exposure scenario (sediment or water). Median lethal doses based on fiber concentrations in whole-sediment and water-only Tubifex tubifex toxicity tests were within a factor of 1.1 (18.7 and 21.3 (μmol nitroaromatic per ml polyacrylate, respectively). Median lethal doses based on organism concentrations were within a factor 1.4 for Chironomus tentans exposed in water-only or whole-sediment scenarios (118.0 and 83.4 nmol nitroaromatic per gram tissue, wet weight, respectively). Solid phase microextraction fibers may provide a powerful chemical estimate of exposure with which to understand bioavailability and toxicity of organic compounds to benthic organisms.

Current accepted bacterial indicator methods do not provide defensible data with respect to the occurrence and types of pathogens in sediments. In an effort to adapt new defensible methods for assessing the risk posed by pathogens in sediments, we evaluated the sensitivity of a commercially available real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan¯Escherichia coli 0157:H7detection kit. The lower limit of linear quantitation of this assay was experimentally determined in sediment and sediment extract samples spiked with known amounts of E. coli 0157:H7 DNA. Parallel control experiments were conducted in pure water samples spiked with known amounts of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 DNA. The lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan¯assay was 1000 colony forming units when interrogating 100 mg sediment samples. In contrast, the assay was 20-fold more sensitive with a lower limit of quantification of 50 colony forming units in pure water and sediment extract samples. These results suggest that the sensitivity of the TaqMan¯Escherichia coli 0157:H7detection kit is more dependent on recovery of the desired target from the sediment matrix than efficiency of polymerase chain reaction amplification. The potential human health risk associated with the lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan¯assay in the spiked sediment samples was estimated using a Beta-Poisson dose-response model. Using this approach, lower limit values corresponded to exposure levels of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 that meet United States Environmental Protection Agency accepted illness rates for recreational swimming.

The objective of the Restudy, performed by the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District, was to recommend a plan for improving environmental quality and urban and agricultural water supply reliability affected by the Central and South Florida water management project. As a “modeler’s model,” SFSAM was limited in scope and was used primarily to assist analysts in the development of alternatives. Additionally, model results provided some insights to operating strategies that could be tested and refined through more detailed modeling of the alternatives. This review of SFSAM includes a brief overview of the Central and South Florida project, a description of the model formulation, some interesting technical challenges faced in modeling the system, and representative and interesting results from the model application.

Unconventional ice passage techniques such as manifolds in the miter gates were also evaluated. Physical model results were compared to field observations and to a parallel series of tests using the DynaRICE ice-hydraulic numerical model. The study focused on three general ice processes at locks: (1) ice accumulating near culvert intakes during lock filling; (2) drawing ice into the lock chamber; and (3) flushing ice out of the lock. Ice accumulation thickness in the upper lock approach was found to be the most important parameter affecting ice passage into the lock chamber. Physical and numerical model results compared reasonably well, proving DynaRICE to be a useful tool for assessing ice passage for new lock designs.

Such a comparison may then help determine whether safety or functionality (or both) are important criteria when optimizing bridge life-cycle performance and costs. The structural element under consideration is a reinforced concrete bridge deck; namely, a State Highway Bridge in Colorado. Two limit states are considered: ultimate strength and serviceability. The exceedence of either of the limit states considered herein will result in deck replacement; namely, if the reliability index falls below a target reliability index or if widespread cracking and spalling occurs. The life-cycle cost analysis includes expected replacement costs as well as the random variability of material properties, loads, section dimensions, model errors, chloride penetration, and corrosion rates. Life-cycle costs can then be compared for strength and serviceability limit state violations. Life-cycle costs for deck replacement based on a serviceability limit state were generally larger than those obtained for the strength limit states. Hence, an unrealistically optimistic life-cycle cost will result when serviceability is not included in the analysis.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 169 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 675 EP - 680 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Background: In addition to psychological disorders, emotional stress can trigger a chain of neurohumoral imhalances that can manifest as cardiopulmonary complaints. No studies were identified that used objective clinical data on complaints after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify all cardiopulmonary and psychological diagnoses among active duty personnel seeking care at a military treatment facility and/or its ancillary facilities before and after September 11, 2001. Methods: The study population included 40,981 active duty military personnel between August 13, 2001 and October 9, 2001 (4 weeks before and 4 weeks after September 11. 2001). Demographic and diagnostic data were obtained from the Composite Health Care System for each visit during the study period. The outcomes of interest were psychological and cardiopulmonary diagnoses. Results: There were 19.595 clinic visits before September 11, 2001 compared to 19.207 clinic visits in the 4 weeks after September 11. There was no increase in total psychological diagnoses in the postexposure period, compared with the preexposure period (risk ratio (RR). 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI|, 0.84-1.11). The only statistically significant finding was a decrease in diagnoses of psychoses (RR, 0.62: 95% confidence interval. 0.42-0.91). However, diagnoses of depressive disorders were increased in the postexposure period (RR, 1.61: 95% Cl, 0.89-2.90; p = 0.11). Total cardiopulmonary diagnoses did not increase in the postexposure period, compared with the preexposure period (RR, 0.96: 95% Cl, 0.91-1.02). Conclusions: This descriptive study failed to identify evidence that any changes in cardiopulmonary or mental health diagnoses were attributable to September 11 terrorist attacks. In the unfortunate event of another national tragedy, it is recommended that health care professionals administer a questionnaire to determine...

Wall behavior can be grouped into three modes of failure, which correspond to three ranges of blast pressures. Computational results were compared to high-speed video images and debris velocities obtained from experimental data. A parametric analysis was conducted to determine the sensitivity of computed results to critical modeling values. It was found that the model has the ability to replicate experimental results with good agreement. However, it was also found that, without knowledge of actual material properties of the specific wall to be modeled, computational results are not reliable predictors of wall behavior.

In the setting of two, phase I/II human immunodeficiency virus-1 vaccine trials of a recombinant canarypox prime, and boosting with either recombinant monomeric gp120 or oligomeric gp160, we assessed the association between specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I serotypes and the presence of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response measured by 51Cr-release assay. HLA class I serotypes A11, A24, A33, B46, and B75 were the most common, present in 10% or more of 245 individuals studied. Forty of 187 (21.4%) Thai adults who received either ALVAC-HIV with gp120 or oligomeric gp160 or ALVAC alone had a precursor cytolytic CD8 T-cell response (pCTL). HLA-B44 was positively and significantly associated with a pCTL response (odds ratio 7.6, 95% CI: 2.7–21.2), whereas B46 was negatively associated but not robust when adjusted for multiple comparisons. Responses to Env proteins accounted for the majority (nine of 11) of pCTL activity among those persons with B44. This HLA class I serotype occurred in 9.4% of participants overall (including the placebo group), less commonly than what is reported from populations of European ancestry. These results strengthen the importance of assessing HLA class I distributions in conjunction with studies of vaccines designed to elicit cellular immunity in different populations.

Following a 2-year life cycle, many juvenile pink salmon enter Puget Sound in even-numbered years, whereas few migrate during odd-numbered years. During 1984–1997, juvenile chinook salmon released during even-numbered years experienced 59% lower survival than those released during odd-numbered years, a trend consistent among 13 chinook salmon stocks. Lower even-numbered-year survival of chinook salmon was associated with reduced first-year growth and survival and delayed maturation. In contrast, chinook salmon released into coastal streams, where few pink salmon occur, did not exhibit an alternating-year pattern of survival, suggesting that the interaction occurred within Puget Sound and the lower Strait of Georgia. Unexpectedly, the survival pattern of Puget Sound chinook salmon was reversed prior to the 1982–1983 El Niño: chinook salmon survival was higher when they migrated with juvenile pink salmon during 1972–1983. We hypothesize that chinook salmon survival changed as a result of a shift from predation- to competition-based mortality in response to recent declines in predator and prey abundances and increases in pink salmon abundance. Alternating-year mortality accounted for most of the 50% decline in marine survival of chinook salmon between 1972–1983 and 1984–1997.

Après 2 ans de leur cycle, de nombreux jeunes saumons roses se déplacent vers le Puget Sound les années paires, mais peu le font les années impaires. En 1984–1997, les jeunes saumons quinnat relâchés durant les années paires ont connu une survie de 59 % inférieure à ceux qui ont été relâchés les années impaires et la tendance s'est maintenue dans 13 stocks de saumons quinnat. La survie réduite les années paires est associée avec une diminution de la croissance et de la survie la première année et une maturation retardée. En revanche, les saumons quinnat relâchés dans les cours d'eau côtiers, où il y a peu de saumons roses, n'ont pas expérimenté cette alternance d'une année à l'autre dans la survie, ce qui laisse croire que l'interaction se produit dans le Puget Sound ou le détroit de Géorgie inférieur. De façon inattendue, le pattern de survie des saumons quinnat de Puget Sound a été inversé avant l'El Niño de 1982–1983, alors que leur survie était plus élevée lorsqu'ils migraient en compagnie des saumons roses en 1972–1983. Notre hypothèse veut que la survie des saumons quinnat ait changé d'un contrôle de la mortalité par la prédation à un contrôle par la compétition en réaction au déclin récent des abondances de prédateurs et de proies et l'augmentation de l'abondance des saumons roses. La mortalité à tous les deux ans explique la plus grande partie du déclin de la survie en mer des saumons quinnat entre les périodes 1972–1983 et 1984–1997.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The overall objective of this review is two-fold. First, the objective is to increase awareness in senior military leadership of the challenges and opportunities presented by DNA microarray technology and the emerging and rapidly changing field of bioinformatics. Second, the aim is to publicize to the civilian research community the additional challenges associated with the use of microarray technology in military medical research. This discussion contains material that would be useful for making programmatic recommendations that team strategic research investments and emerging technologies with U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command resources.

Previous research has shown that untreated oral conditions can result in increased rates of disease and nonbattle injury for deployed soldiers. The purpose of this study was to develop models for U.S. Army dental wellness and readiness using a multivariate regression analysis approach. Staffing levels and dental wellness and readiness rates were examined for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2002 at 40 Army installations. Full regression model equations were developed for percent dental wellness and readiness using location, time, dental provider types, and basic training installation as predictor variables. Both models were shown to be statistically significant, with wellness R2 = 0.37, F12,107 = 5.18. p < 0.001 and readiness R2 = 0.23, F12,107 = 2.65, p < 0.01. Further tests of specific predictor effects revealed that wellness was significantly associated with the specialties of general dentistry, hygienists, and oral surgery, and that readiness was significantly associated with region and the oral surgery specialty. Results may be useful for the U.S. Army to identify the best practices in an effort to optimize dental wellness and readiness.

During the first decade of this collaboration, studies have been carried out in the diverse disciplines that axe crucial to providing the foundations for efficacy trials of candidate HIV vaccines. Studies of host, pathogen, and vaccine interventions included studies of viral diversity, epidemiology, disease course, potential vaccine cohorts, and Phase I/II clinical trials. Collaborations were expanded to other Thai institutions and to overseas partners, resulting in the Thai AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Group. The efforts of these collaborations resulted in the development of candidate vaccines specifically designed for use in Thailand, and sequential evaluations that have lead to the threshold of the world's next and largest efficacy trial of vaccines.

SN - 09226168 AB - The slow reaction between peroxodisulfate and formate is significantly accelerated by ascorbate at room temperature. The products of this induced oxidation, CO2 and oxalate (C2O2–4), were analyzed by several methods and the kinetics of this reaction were measured. The overall mechanism involves free radical species. Ascorbate reacts with peroxodisulfate to initiate production of the sulfate radical ion (SO•–4), which reacts with formate to produce carbon dioxide radical ion (CO•–2) and sulfate. The carbon dioxide radical reacts with peroxodisulfate to form CO2 or self-combines to form oxalate. Competition occurring between these two processes determines the overall fate of the carbon dioxide radical species. As pH decreases, protonation of the carbon dioxide radical ion tends to favor production of CO2.

The generator utilizes a fundamental physical effect—depolarization of ferroelectric materials under longitudinal shock wave impact, when the shock wave is initiated along the polarization vector P. These primary power sources, containing energy-carrying elements made of lead zirconate titanate poled piezoelectric ceramics, with the volume from 0.35 to 3.3 cm3, are capable of producing pulses of high voltage with amplitudes up to 21.4 kV. The amplitude and full width at half-maximum of the high-voltage pulses are directly proportional to the thickness of the energy-carrying element, with coefficients of proportionality of 3.42±0.12 kV/mm (amplitude) and 0.125±0.01 μs/mm (width). The specific energy density of these ferroelectric energy-carrying elements reaches 76 mJ/cm3.

Both in situ and in vivo models were used to assess the efficacy of postexposure treatment of phosgene-induced lung injury using clinically existing drugs. The degree of efficacy was judged by examining treatment effects on pulmonary edema formation (PEF) as measured by wet/dry weight (WW/DW) ratios, real-time (in situ) lung weight gain (LWG), survival rates (SR), odds ratios, and glutathione (GSH) redox states. Drugs included N -acetylcysteine (NAC), ibuprofen (IBU), aminophylline (AMIN), and isoproterenol (ISO). Using the in situ isolated perfused rabbit lung model (IPRLM), intratracheal (IT) NAC (40 mg/kg bolus) delivered 45-60 min after phosgene exposure (650 mg/m 3 ) for10 min lowered pulmonary artery pressure, LWG, leukotrienes (LT) C 4 /D 4 /E 4 , lipid peroxidation, and oxidized GSH. We concluded that NAC protected against phosgene-induced lung injury by acting as an antioxidant by maintaining protective levels of GSH, reducing both lipid peroxidation and production of arachidonic acid metabolites. Also in IPRLM, administration of AMIN (30 mg/kg) 80-90 min after phosgene exposure significantly reduced lipid peroxidation and perfusate LTC 4 /D 4 /E 4 , reduced LWG, and prevented phosgene-induced decreases in lung tissue cAMP. These data suggest that protective mechanisms observed with AMIN involve decreased LTC 4 /D 4 /E 4 mediated pulmonary capillary permeability and attenuated lipid peroxidation. Direct antipermeability effects of AMIN-induced upregulation of cAMP on cellular contraction may also be important in protection against phosgene-induced lung injury. Posttreatment with ISO in the IPRLM by either combined intravascular (iv; infused into pulmonary artery at 24 μg/min infused) + IT (24 μg bolus) or IT route alone 50-60 min after phosgene exposure significantly lowered pulmonary artery pressure, tracheal pressure, and LWG. ISO treatment significantly enhanced GSH products or maintained protective levels when compared with results from phosgene-exposed only rabbits. These data suggest that protective mechanisms for ISO involve reduction in vascular pressure, decreased LTC 4 /D 4 /E 4 -mediated pulmonary capillary permeability, and favorably maintained lung tissue GSH redox states. For in vivo male mouse (CD-1, 25-30 g) studies IBU was administered ip within 20 min after a lethal dose of phosgene (32 mg/m 3 for 20 min) at 0 (saline), 3, 9, or 15 mg/mouse. Five hours later, a second IBU injection was given but at half the original doses (0, 1.5, 4.5, and 7.5 mg/mouse); therefore, these treatment groups are now referred to as the 0/0, 3/1.5, 9/4.5, and 15/7.5 mg IBU/mouse groups. SRs and odds ratios were calculated for each dose at 12 and 24 h. The 12-h survival was 63% for 9/4.5 mg IBU and 82% for the 15/7.5 mg IBU groups, compared with 25% for saline-treated phosgene-exposed mice. At 24 h, those survival rates were reduced to 19%, 19%, and 6%, respectively. In the 15/7.5 mg IBU group, lung WW/DW ratios were significantly lower than in saline-treated mice at 12 h. Lipid peroxidation was lower only for the 9/4.5 mg IBU dose; however, nonprotein sulfhydryls (a measure of GSH) were greater across all IBU doses. The odds ratio was 5 for the 9/4.5 IBU group at 12 h and 13 for the 15/7.5 mg IBU group, compared with 3.5 for both groups at 24 h. IBU posttreatment increased the survival of mice at 12 h by reducing PEF, lipid peroxidation, and GSH depletion. In conclusion, effective treatment of phosgene-induced lung injury involves early postexposure intervention that could reduce free radical species responsible for lipid peroxidation, correct the imbalance in the GSH redox state, and prevent the release of biological mediators such as leukotrienes, which are accountable for increased permeability.

L. Dym and P. Little, the complete design process includes identifying a need or problem, recognizing constraints, identifying and developing courses of action, testing potential courses of action, selecting optimum courses of action, preparing the documents required for the design, managing the overall process, communicating the design, construction, and testing. We have addressed these design considerations by linking design projects in our introductory physicochemical treatment processes course (EV401, taken by second-semester juniors) and our senior capstone design course (EV490, taken by second-semester seniors). The process developed and implemented addresses the integration of professional practice into design inexperience. We require our cadet students to communicate with their customers, an illustrator, and tradesmen, three forms of communication that are necessarily quite different from traditional student-professor exchanges. Also, students must design under constraints, this time not because of the closed nature of the project but rather because of “real world” resource constraints: time to complete the project, a limited budget to purchase materials and labor, availability of materials, ease of construction, and balancing competing projects (in other courses). The first attempt at implementing this engineering design learning model occurred during the spring of 2001 in EV401. Herein we assess the design and construction of one of two projects, oriented toward modification of a surface-water treatment plant model. Results suggest that iterative growth can occur and a more complete appreciation of the design process can result.

Knowledge of flow patterns in the lake is essential for predicting the transport of dissolved oxygen (DO). A preliminary comparison with acoustic Doppler velocimetery (ADV) measurements shows that both LSPTV and large scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) accurately measure surface velocities. In the present study, LSPTV works better near flow boundaries and in regions with high velocity gradients since smaller sampling areas are possible, and unlike LSPIV measurements, LSPTV measurements are unbiased. Discharges measured at eight different transects using LSPTV were within 6% of the discharge measured with an orifice, the worst correlation occurring where the bathymetry was slightly nonuniform (making application of the 1/7-power law suspect). In the prototype, DO content periodically drops to unacceptable levels throughout most of the Keystone Basin (a subbasin of Lake Ogallala). Predicted flow patterns suggest that low DO problems are exacerbated in regions with low velocities since oxygen consumed by macrophytes during nighttime hours is not quickly replenished.

The proposed method characterizes each pavement layer by a coefficient of lateral stress, which is similar to the commonly used coefficient of lateral earth pressure (K). Stress predictions found by the proposed method are compared with stress predictions calculated by conventional linear elastic techniques. Each conventional solution is shown to represent a special case of the more global proposed solution. Several instrumented test sections are explored to determine coefficients of lateral stress for common paving materials.

Between January 3, 1998 and July 24, 2001, 4,258 trainees were assigned to the PTRP. Using a retrospective cohort study design, return to training and BCT graduation rates were evaluated. PTRP graduates were compared with matched non-PTRP graduates for 2-year retention in the Army. More PTRP women than men were discharged from the PTRP (60% and 48%, respectively, p < 0.01). Of PTRP trainees returning to BCT, 10% and 12% of men and women, respectively, were discharged from the Army compared with overall Fort Jackson discharge rates of 9% and 15% for men and women, respectively. Comparing PTRP graduates to matched non-PTRP graduates, there were no differences in 2-year retention for men (14.9% and 14.7%, respectively; p = 0.93) or women (26.6% and 30.1%, respectively; p = 0.19). Despite the high discharge rate in the PTRP, the BCT discharge rate for trainees who successfully rehabilitated was similar to the overall discharge rate at Fort Jackson. The 2-year retention in service for PTRP trainees who graduated from BCT was similar to that of non-PTRP trainees.

Research conducted by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) in the area of leadership is reviewed. Researchers at the WRAIR have examined the role of leadership as a predictor of stress, as a buffer against the negative effects of stress, and as a variable that predicts or enables variables that have been found to decrease the adverse effects of stress (e.g., role clarity, self-efficacy, and job engagement). A key strength of the WRAIR program of research is the use of multilevel modeling to examine how perceptions of leadership at the unit level are related to unit and individual soldier well-being and motivation.

Based on the psychological concept of toughening, we expected soldier responses to unrehearsed demands to be less resilient than to routine training demands. As hypothesized, soldiers rated their perceptions of physical and psychological demands higher during the unrehearsed training phase of the study. It was also hypothesized that soldiers would recover more from physical demands than from psychological demands after the training exercise. Although a trend in the data marginally supported this hypothesis, a note of caution is warranted because of the small sample size. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed, with particular emphasis on the dual importance of psychological and physical training in preparing soldiers for mission demands.

Bench-scale reactors were constructed to operate in a manner analogous to a commercially available system manufactured by Terr-Aqua Environmental Systems (only with longer contact time). The GAC system consisted of two GAC biofilter beds that operated in a cyclical manner. On a given day, the first GAC bed adsorbed methyl isobutyl ketone from a simulated waste airstream, while the second bed underwent regeneration; then on the next day, the second bed was in the adsorption mode while the first was regenerated. Three bench-scale systems were used to compare the performance under three operating conditions: (1) ozone/ associated oxidant regeneration of a GAC biofilter system that was seeded with microorganisms from a field site, (2) a humid air regeneration of a seeded GAC biofilter, and (3) a humid air regeneration of an unseeded GAC biofilter. For the advanced oxidant regenerated GAC biofilter, a maximum removal efficiency of >95% was achieved with an empty bed contact time of 148 sec and an influent concentration of 125 ppm methyl isobutyl ketone, and 90-95% was achieved at 148-sec empty bed contact time and a 1150-ppm influent.

SN - 00068314 AB - The von Kármán spectra of turbulent temperature and velocity fluctuations have been widely used in the literature on turbulence and electromagnetic, seismic, and acoustic wave propagation in random media. In this paper we provide a phenomenological motivation for the von Kármán velocity spectrum in terms of the quasi-wavelet model of turbulence developed recently. In this model, turbulence is represented as a superposition of self-similar localized eddies of many different scales. We find a functional form for these eddies that yields the von Kármán velocity spectrum exactly. We also show that other eddy functions produce velocity spectra that have the same general form as the von Kármán spectrum, and we consider possible quasi-wavelet representations of the `Kansas' spectrum and the `-1' spectrum. We also present a systematic determination, based on turbulence similarity theories, of the parameters of the von Kármán spectra of temperature and velocity fluctuations in an unstable atmospheric boundary layer.

JO - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences JF - Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 61 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1102 EP - 1112 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 0706652X AB - We evaluated patterns of denitrification and factors effecting denitrification in the upper Mississippi River. Measurements were taken over 2 years, during which river discharge ranged from record flooding to base flow conditions. Over the period of study, average denitrification enzyme activity was highest in backwater lakes and lowest in the main channel. Throughout the study reach, highest denitrification enzyme activity occurred during fall and lowest occurred in winter. Rates during spring floods (2001) were only slightly higher than during the preceding winter. Mean unamended denitrification rates ranged from 0.02 (fall 2001 in backwaters) to 0.40 µg N·cm–2·h–1 (spring 2001 in backwaters). Laboratory experiments showed that denitrification rates increased significantly with addition of NO3– regardless of sediment C content, while rates increased little with addition of labile C (glucose). Denitrification in this reach of the upper Mississippi River appears to be NO3– limited throughout the growing season and the delivery of NO3– is strongly controlled by river discharge and hydrologic connectivity across the floodplain. We estimate that denitrification removes 6939 t N·year–1 or 6.9% of the total annual NO3– input to the reach. Hydrologic connectivity and resultant NO3– delivery to high-C sediments is a critical determinant of reach-scale processing of N in this floodplain system.

Les mesures ont été réalisées sur 2 années, pendant lesquelles le débit de la rivière a varié d'inondations record à des conditions d'étiage. Durant la période d'étude, l'activité enzymatique moyenne de dénitrification était maximale dans les lacs de la plaine de débordement et minimale dans le chenal principal. Dans toute la zone d'étude, les valeurs maximales de l'activité enzymatique moyenne de dénitrification ont été mesurées à l'automne et les valeurs minimales en hiver. Les taux durant les inondations du printemps (2001) étaient tout juste un peu plus élevés que l'hiver précédent. Les taux moyens non corrigés de dénitrification variaient de 0,02 (automne 2001 dans des eaux de la plaine de débordement) à 0,40 µg N·cm–2·h–1 (printemps dans des eaux de la plaine de débordement). Des expériences en laboratoire montrent que les taux de dénitrification augmentent de façon significative après l'addition de NO3–, quel que soit le contenu des sédiments en C; ces taux augmentent peu après l'addition de C labile (glucose). La dénitrification dans cette section du Mississippi semble être limitée par NO3– durant la saison de croissance et l'apport de NO3– est fortement contrôlé par le débit de la rivière et la connectivité hydrologique à travers la plaine de débordement. Nous estimons que la dénitrification retire 6 939 t N·an–1, soit 6,95 % de l'apport annuel de NO3– dans la section. La connectivité hydrologique et l'apport de NO3– aux sédiments riches en C qui en résulte sont des facteurs déterminants essentiels du traitement de l'azote à l'échelle de la section dans ce système de plaine de débordement.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 712 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 288 EP - 293 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - The addition of colloidal shear thickening fluids (STFs) to Kevlar fabrics has been shown to enhance the ballistic penetration resistance of the fabric, under conditions of low velocities and small target sizes. It is believed that this improvement in ballistic properties is related to the resistance of the STF to deformation at high strain rates, since the addition of Newtonian fluids to Kevlar fabric does not improve ballistic performance. However, the precise role of the STF, and its rheological properties, in the ballistic defeat process are not known. In this study, ballistic and rheological experiments are performed to determine the effect of fluid viscosity, particle loadings, and particle size and shape on the behavior of STF-Kevlar composites. These results will be help to determine which rheological parameters are most critical to achieving enhanced composite properties. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This environment utilizes an implicit numerical method for modeling resin flow, a thermal model for analyzing convection and conduction, and a resin kinetics model to compute the heat generated and degree of resin cure during the curing process. The computing environment also includes a multiscale thermal residual stress model for computing the distortions and residual stresses in the composite component caused by the manufacturing process. All of these models have been tied together within a parallel object-oriented programming framework.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2004/06/10/ VL - 712 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1607 EP - 1612 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - Homogenization theory has been well accepted by the applied mechanics modeling community for its ability to integrate small-scale microstructure phenomena into bulk continuum equations using convergent features of asymptotics. This paper describes an extension of the method to handle asymptotically small atomic scale systems at zero temperature embedded within a deforming continuum. A so-called inner displacement naturally arises in the formulation that enables the consideration of distributed anharmonic crystalline effects that would otherwise be unapproachable with bulk continuum methods alone. The result is a simple computational mechanics method that, first, maps instantaneous continuum deformation gradients to deforming defected crystalline arrangements then, second, provides convergent effective material properties to be used for consistent continuum calculations. The intended applications are those involving patterned defects, either in bulk or on surfaces, which allude to possible manufacturing scenarios. Simple 2-D examples are shown for in-plane deformation of graphene possessing various types of point defects. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

SN - 0095327X AB - As part of an experimental unit, over five hundred active- and reserve-component (AC, RC) soldiers deployed to the Sinai Desert in 1995 on a peacekeeping mission. While most junior enlisted personnel were reservists, leadership positions were shared between components. Before their departure, most soldiers had high expectations regarding their ability to use a variety of communication media to reach their families. While their reported use of communication media was less than what they had expected, almost all soldiers did use the telephone or other means to communicate with home during their deployment. Contrary to our hypotheses, communication media use was not strongly related to rank or component (AC, RC), though junior enlisted personnel were somewhat less likely than other ranks to use some communication media. As expected, married soldiers were somewhat more likely to use telecommunications than unmarried soldiers. While all forms of communication media were deemed useful for conveying information, more interactive forms of communication (e.g., telephone) were preferred for communicating with family and friends, especially with respect to time-sensitive or other more difficult issues.

T1 - Spray Stress Revisited. JO - Journal of Physical Oceanography JF - Journal of Physical Oceanography Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 34 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1429 EP - 1440 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00223670 AB - In winds approaching hurricane strength, spray droplets proliferate. Once created, these droplets accelerate to the local wind speed in 1 s or less and thereby extract momentum from the wind. Because these droplets have substantial mass, they eventually plunge back into the ocean, delivering their horizontal momentum to the surface in the form of a spray stress. Inadequate information on the production rate and size distribution of spray droplets, however, hampered previous attempts to estimate the magnitude of this spray-mediated momentum exchange. This paper therefore uses recent estimates of the spray generation function to reconsider spray's ability to alter air­sea momentum exchange. Conservation of momentum requires that spray cannot enhance the air­sea stress beyond what the large-scale flow dictates. However, spray can redistribute stress in the near-surface atmosphere since the wind must slow if the spray droplets accelerate. For a wind of 30 m s&sup-1;, spray supports about 10% of the surface stress; for a wind of about 60 m s&sup-1;, spray supports all of the surface stress. The paper goes on to show how this partitioning affects the near-surface wind speed profile. Last, the paper reviews evidence that suggests the sea surface undergoes a transition in its aerodynamic behavior in the wind speed range 30–40 m s&sup-1;. The fact that whitecap coverage extrapolates to 100% in this range may be one cause. Also in this range, the ‘rain’ of spray droplets back onto the sea surface creates a mass flux with a magnitude that has been shown to damp the short waves that sustain most of the atmospheric drag on the sea surface. As a consequence, spray may play a key role in a negative feedback loop that limits air­sea momentum transfer.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 12 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 279 EP - 289 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - To assess the potential for enhancing an existing stand of native perennial grasses on a California Coast Range Grassland site, we experimentally manipulated the seasonal timing and presence of grazing for 3 years (1994 through 1996) and of autumn burning for 2 years (1994 and 1995) and measured species cover for 6 years (1993 through 1998). We subjected the species matrix to classification (TWINSPAN) and ordination (CCA) and tested the ordination site scores as well as diversity indices with linear mixed effects models. Four distinct plant community groups emerged from the classification. Two of these were dominated by annual grasses and two by perennial grasses. No treatment effects were observed on diversity. For composition, temporal and spatial random effects were important mixed effects model parameters, as was the fixed effect covariate, pre-treatment CCA site score, indicating the importance of random environmental variation and initial starting conditions. Incorporation of these random effects and initial condition terms made for more powerful tests of the fixed effects, grazing season, and burning. We found no significant burning effects. Grazing removal imparted a shift in plant community from more annual-dominated toward more perennial-dominated vegetation. Individual perennial grass species responded differently according to genus and species. Nassella spp. increased gradually over time regardless of grazing treatment. Nassella pulchra (purple needlegrass) increase was greatest under spring grazing and N. lepida (foothill needlegrass) was greatest with grazing removal. Danthonia californica (California oatgrass) had little response over time under seasonal grazing treatments, but increased with grazing removal. Under relatively mesic weather conditions it appears that grazing removal from Coast Range Grasslands with existing native perennial grass populations can increase their cover. However if N. pulchra is the sole existing population, spring season-restricted grazing should be equally effective at enhancing cover of the native grass species.

SN - 10755535 AB - Objectives: The clinical efficacy of many multiherbal Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) is partially attributable to their immunoregulatory properties. In this study we evaluated the effect of eight commonly used, commercially available multiherbal Chinese medicines on T-cell activation. We focused on Yin Zhi Huang (YZH, an injectable herbal medicine commonly used kr the weatment of liver diseases in China), because it was the most potent inhibitor of T-cell activation in our experimental system. The effects of 10 ingredient components of YZH were also evaluated. Methods: [³H] thymidine incorporation assay was used to assess mouse T-cell proliferation after stimulation with latex heads coated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. CD25, CD69, PD-I, and 1-COS expression by purified mouse CD4 T cells treated with plate-hound anti-CD3 antibody and soluble anti-CD28 antihody was analyzed by fluorescent-activated cell sorter (FACS). Cytokine/chemokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was determined by en- zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Among tested herbal medicines, YZH was the most potent inhibitor of T-cell activation. In splenocyte proliferation assays, the inhibitory effect of YZH was dose-dependent, with a 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of 1:3200-1:1600. Ten (10) purified compounds found in YZH were evaluated kr their activity. Among them, ursolic acid (1-10 p6mol), luteolin (1-10 μmol), baicalein (1-10 μmol), scopran (5-50 μmol), and crocin (5-50 μmol), exhibited dose-dependent inhibition. YZH also inhibited CD25, CD69, PD-I, and ICOS expression by stimulated mouse CD4 T cells. In human PBMCs, YZH inhibited SEB-stimulated cy- tokine (interleukin [IL]-1 IL-2, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor lTNFl-α, interferon IIFNI-γ) and chemokine (IP- 10, MCP-1, MIP-1α and MIP-1β) production in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Our data show for the First time that YZH is a Potent inhibitor of T-cell activation, and this property may he the major mechanism underlying the clinical efficacy of YZH. Our experimental results pave the way for identification of active component(s) and/or analysis of synergistic/additive effect of a YZH ingredient in future studies.

Data from this original study were compared to a recent survey in order to determine if any changes in fish species composition had occurred during the approximately 30 year time period. A comparison of similarity for 44 collections showed low similarity between the two surveys for a large percentage of sites visited (86% for Jaccard's Similarity and 62% for Morisita Similarity). Sites with low similarity between survey dates were typically associated with impoundments. Most species missing in the recent survey include species considered sensitive, such as cyprinids and percids. Species that have increased since 1968 include centrarchids, a group typically tolerant of impoundment and environmental change. Virtually all fish species composition differences indicate a less pristine fish assemblage in the more contemporary survey, suggesting that recent factors have had a negative effect on the fish assemblage of Bear Creek.

To support such applications, this paper presents a compact software architecture that can be used to interface parallel particle tracking software to computational mesh management systems. A detailed description is presented of the in-element particle tracking framework supported by this software architecture--a framework that encompasses most particle tracking applications. The use of this parallel software architecture is illustrated through the implementation of two differential equation solvers, the forward Euler and an implicit trapezoidal method, on a distributed, unstructured. computational mesh. A design goal of this software effort has been to interface to software libraries such as Scalable Unstructured Mesh Algorithms and Applications (SUMAA3d) in addition to application codes (e.g. FEMWATER). This goal of portability is achieved through a software architecture that specifies a lightweight functional interface that maintains the full functionality required by particle-mesh methods. The use of this approach in parallel programming environments written in C and Fortran is demonstrated.

Laboratory investigations were conducted on 28 serum samples collected from patients in the Imatong region. Serum samples from 13 patients were positive for immunoglobulin M antibody to flavivirus, and serum samples from 5 patients were positive by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with both the genus Flavivirus-reactive primers and yellow fever virus-specific primers. Nucleotide sequencing of the amplicons obtained with the genus Flavivirus oligonucleotide primers confirmed yellow fever virus as the etiologic agent. Isolation attempts in newborn mice and Vero cells from the samples yielded virus isolates from five patients. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis enabled an interagency emergency task force to initiate a targeted vaccination campaign to control the outbreak.

Dietary intakes were obtained by a visual estimation method and self-reported food records from 32 SF and 13 support soldiers for 9 days. Total energy expenditure (TEE) was measured in nine soldiers from each group using doubly labeled water. Mean (± SD) total energy expenditure of SF (4,099 ± 740 kcal/day) was higher than support soldiers (3,361 ± 939 kcal/day, p < 0.01). Energy intake did not differ between groups. Median energy intake for all soldiers was 3,204 kcal/day. The nutrient intake goals of SF soldiers were not fully met by eating in the dining facility. Extending meal times and providing additional meals or "take out" foods may allow energy needs of SF soldiers (~4,200 kcal/day) to be met, while reducing the reliance on potentially less nutritious outside foods.

During their first semester at West Point, 179 cadets completed measures of holistic wellness, perceived stress, and mattering. The highest wellness scores were in areas of social support, physical wellness, and humor. Significant negative correlations were found between perceived stress and work, realistic beliefs, and stress management. Significant positive correlations resulted between 17 wellness scales and mattering, t tests revealed only one area, work wellness, where the norm group scores exceeded those of the cadets. Cadets' scores exceeded norm group scores for perceived wellness, mattering, and seven of the Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle scales, including total self-direction. Within-group differences were identified based on gender, for four of the self-direction factors, and for age on the dimension of self-care. Implications for health promotion and wellness from the perspective of holistic wellness are considered.

Medical officers in a field environment cannot avoid facing cutaneous quandaries. This article briefly highlights the omnipresent threat of cutaneous disease. It follows with a cost-effective look at periodically deploying a dermatologist to Bosnia. Volumes of historical data clearly justify the assignment of a dermatologist as a special consultant staff officer to every corps or theater medical staff. Despite this data, only two U.S. Army units in our present table of organization and equipment will have a dermatologist (60L] available for periodic direct-field consultation and teaching. After review of the historical data and the Stabilization Force-Bosnia statistics presented here, the table of organization and equipment restructuring that is required to meet the challenges of tomorrow will be clear. A dermatologist must be deployed as a theater or division consultant.

In 2002, the three Services continued their cooperative, multidisciplinary approach to the WNV outbreak. Activities included a doubling of mosquito surveillance and vector control responses, extension of and doubling of bird and nonhuman mammal surveillance to all four continental United States regions, expanded diagnostic testing by DoD laboratories, and installation environmental clean up and personnel protection campaigns. Medical treatment facilities conducted passive surveillance and reported possible cases in DoD health care beneficiaries. Efforts were coordinated through active communication within installations, with commands, and with surrounding communities. Undertaken activities complemented each other to maximize surveillance coverage. The surveillance detected WNV on 44 DoD installations. It led directly to vector control and prevention activities, and there were no confirmed cases of WNV reported in the DoD force. This multi-Service effort is a surveillance template for future outbreaks that threaten DoD force health.

Military personnel are known to be vulnerable to this disease. After a training barracks exposure to pertussis, routine arrangements for contact prophylaxis with erythromycin failed. This experience is reported here as well as that of our subsequent aggressive attempts using directly observed prophylaxis (DOP) with standard erythromycin regimens. No secondary cases occurred. However, many contacts (35%) could not finish a 14-day course despite DOP, mostly because of nausea (85%) or diarrhea (72%). Seventeen (18%) soldiers missed classes because of erythromycin side effects; five required emergency department visits or hospital admission for the same. Sixteen (17%) soldiers were switched to azithromycin because of side effects; all were able to complete a 14-day course without symptoms. High adherence rates with erythromycin administration using DOP are attainable but may trigger unacceptable toxicities; alternative prophylactic regimens should be considered for active duty personnel.

Assessing the potential for fish predation to impact zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha): insight from bioenergetics models. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2004: 13: 85–95. © Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004 Rates of annual food consumption and biomass were modeled for several fish species across representative rivers and lakes in eastern North America. Results were combined to assess the relative potential of fish predation to impact zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha). Predicted annual food consumption by fishes in southern waters was over 100% greater than that in northern systems because of warmer annual water temperatures and presumed increases in metabolic demand. Although generally increasing with latitude, biomasses of several key zebra mussel fish predators did not change significantly across latitudes. Biomasses of some less abundant fish predators did increase significantly with latitude, but increases were not of the magnitude to offset predicted decreases in food consumption. Our results generally support the premise that fishes in rivers and lakes of the southern United States (U.S.) have inherently greater potential to impact zebra mussels by predation. Our simulations may provide a partial explanation of why zebra mussel invasions have not been as rapid and widespread in southern U.S. waters compared to the Great Lakes region.

The CE-QUAL-ICM eutrophication model has been revised and recalibrated to provide management guidance in alleviating impaired clarity. The algorithms used to model light attenuation and suspended solids are presented herein. Computed and observed total and volatile solids and light attenuation are examined in several formats. A solids budget constructed for the bay identifies major solids sources as internal production, bank erosion, and watershed loading. Sensitivity to loading sources and a key management scenario are examined. Major but feasible reductions in solids and nutrient loads, coupled with reductions in bank erosion, are calculated to meet clarity goals at the 1-m depth in the main bay and major eastern embayments. Careful examination of model results at small scales is required to verify large-scale findings, however. We recommend major improvements in monitoring, computation of light attenuation, and in sediment transport modeling to improve the state of the art in modeling and management of water clarity.

In this present study we have investigated the pharmacokinetics of midazolam and its associated effects on electroencephalographic (EEG) activity following intramuscular (im) injection to soman-exposed guinea pigs (Crl:(HA)BR). Prior to experiments, the animals were surgically implanted with EEG leads to monitor seizure activity. For the study, animals were administered the following pretreatment/OP/treatment regimen. Pyridostigmine bromide (0.026 mg/kg, im) was given 30 min prior to soman (56 μg/kg, 2 × LD50; subcutaneously, sc), followed in one minute by atropine sulfate (2 mg/kg, im) and pralidoxime chloride (25 mg/kg, im). All animals receiving this regimen developed seizure activity. Midazolam 0.8 mg/kg, im, was administered 5 mm after onset of seizure activity. Based on EEG data, animals were categorized as either seizure-terminated or seizure not-terminated at 30 mm following anticonvulsant administration. Serial blood samples were collected for the plasma midazolam analysis; the assay was accomplished with a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. The mean time to seizure termination was 8.8 ± 1.6 min. The mean time-plasma concentration data were fit to standard pharmacokinetic models. The following parameter estimates were determined from the model-fit for seizure terminated and not-terminated animals respectively: apparent volumes of distribution (Vd) were 1.4 and 1.7 1/kg; area under the time-concentration curves (AUC), 15,990 and 15,120 ng min/ml; times to maximal plasma concentration (Tmax), 1.66 and 2.91 min and maximal plasma concentrations (Cmax) 535.1 and 436.6 ng/ml. These data indicate that im injection of midazolam is effective at terminating ongoing soman-induced seizure activity. Additionally, the relatively short Tmax and latency to seizure termination demonstrate the rapidity of drug absorption and action respectively.

JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2004/05//May/Jun2004 VL - 14 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 195 EP - 202 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - Sulfur mustard (SM) is a blistering agent that produces DNA strand breaks. To detect SM-induced DNA single strand breaks in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), cells were exposed to various concentrations of SM (10 to 1000 μM), and the comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) was performed. We observed a SM concentration- and time-dependent increase in detectable DNA damage. To test whether SM-induced DNA cross-linking inhibits DNA migration in the comet assay, PBL were exposed to a) SM alone (10 to 1000 μM), b) H 2 O 2 (0.001%), which produces DNA single strand breaks with no cross-links, or c) SM followed at 2, 4, or 6 h by H 2 O 2 . With H 2 O 2 alone, a large amount of strand breakage was detected. With H 2 O 2 plus SM, detectable H 2 O 2 -induced strand breaks decreased as SM concentration increased up to 30 μM; at 30 μM and above, the response with H 2 O 2 plus SM was similar to that with SM alone. Interference with the detection of H 2 O 2 -induced DNA strand breaks appears to be SM concentration-dependent up to 30 μM, and independent of SM concentration at ≥30 μM. This is presumably due to SM-induced cross-linking. It follows that cross-linking in DNA of SM-exposed PBL also interferes with DNA migration and detection of DNA strand breaks when cells are exposed to SM alone.

Male animals were injected subcutaneously with sarin (GB), soman (GD) or VX once a day (Monday through Friday) for 2-, 4-, or 13-weeks. An initial 13-week study for each CWNA employed doses of vehicle (normal saline), 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.6x, and 0.8x the previously established acute LD 50 . A 2-week and 4-week exposure were also performed for each agent at doses less than the 13-week MTD to verify lack of toxicity. Animals dosed daily for 13 weeks with 0.4x LD 50 of GB or GD or with 0.2x LD 50 of VX did not display signs of acute cholinergic toxicity. In animals dosed daily for either 2- or 4-weeks, the MTDs were 0.4x the acute LD 50 for all three CWNA. There were no differences among these groups and their respective vehicle controls for weight gains, body temperature, complete blood cell counts, blood chemistries, nor by histopathology. At the MTD in all groups, red blood cell cholinesterase activity one hour after the last exposure was inhibited up to 90% compared with controls. The toxicity observed with repeated doses above the MTD for up to chronic exposure durations was not significantly different from symptoms observed after acute exposure. For all three nerve agents the MTDs for subacute exposure durations can be expressed by the same constant fraction of the acute LD 50 , despite differences in the absolute amount of nerve agent administered.

Some of these improvements include the addition or replacement of the navigation lock. Innovative design and construction techniques are being investigated to try and reduce construction costs as well as operation and maintenance costs. The Corps identified that a savings in lock construction could be achieved if the conventional concrete gravity lock walls with culverts inside them could be replaced with thin walls and longitudinal culverts located inside the chamber. This culvert design was designated the In-Chamber Longitudinal Culvert System (ILCS). An extensive research effort led to the development of the ILCS design. This paper provides a brief summary of the research results and the accompanying design guidance developed for low to medium lift ILCS locks. The guidance includes culvert location; port size, location, and spacing; port extensions; culvert-roof overhang; and wall baffles. Lock chamber performance characteristics, based on acceptable filling and emptying operations determined using a laboratory model, are also presented. The ILCS is a feasible design based on the hydraulic performance determined from the investigation.

In the martensitic form, shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the ability to recover large residual deformations by heating the alloy above its transformation temperature. The proposed connection consists of four large diameter NiTi SMA bars connecting the beam flange to the column flange and serve as the primary moment transfer mechanism. Two full-scale connections were tested using the SAC loading protocol. The connections exhibited a high level of energy dissipation, large ductility capacity, and no strength degradation after being subjected to cycles up to 4% drift. Following the initial testing series, the tendons were heated to recover the residual beam tip displacement. After initiating the shape memory effect within the tendons, the connections were retested, displaying repeatable and stable hysteretic behavior. An additional test was performed under dynamic loading to examine the strain rate effects on the performance of the connection. The dynamic tests showed similar behavior, except for a decrease in energy dissipation capacity when compared to the quasi-static tests.

To investigate genetic relationships among the Peru VEEV isolates and between the Peru isolates and other VEEV strains, a fragment of the PE2 gene was amplified and analyzed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism. Representatives of seven genotypes underwent sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The results identified four VEE complex lineages that cocirculate in the Amazon region: subtypes ID (Panama and Colombia/Venezuela genotypes), IIIC, and a new, proposed subtype IIID, which was isolated from a febrile human, mosquitoes, and spiny rats. Both ID lineages and the IIID subtype are associated with febrile human illness. Most of the subtype ID isolates belonged to the Panama genotype, but the Colombia/Venezuela genotype, which is phylogenetically related to epizootic strains, also continues to circulate in the Amazon basin.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 169 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 368 EP - 372 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the validity of classifying Initial Entry Training (IET) soldiers into dental fitness classification 2 or 3 based solely on examining panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods: The dental readiness classification, derived from a clinical screening examination versus a panoramic radiological examination, was compared for 1,050 Fort Sill Basic Training recruits during a 1-month period. The dentist who reviewed the panoramic radiograph and determined a dental classification was blinded to the earlier dental classification from the clinical examination. The Spearman's rank order correlation test was used to determine if a statistically significant correlation existed between classifications based on the clinical examination versus classification by review of the panoramic radiograph alone. Results: The project identified that 18% (n = 186) and 23.7% (n = 249) of the sample population had at least one class 3 condition identified from the clinical screening examination and the panoramic radiograph review, respectively. Of the 186 dental fitness category 3 conditions identified from the routine dental screening, 81.7% (152) of them were also identified from the review of the panoramic radiograph. Spearman's rank order correlation test statistic was 0.633 for a p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant correlation in the identification of IET soldiers with class 3 conditions using a screening examination with a review of the panoramic radiograph. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that panoramic radiograph review can identify IET soldiers with dental fitness category 3 conditions and implies that a policy change may be prudent to allow this type of initial classification.

SN - 10637850 AB - The existence of an SH-wave incidence angle for which the reflected amplitude is zero (SH-wave intromission angle) is established for the case of plane-wave scattering by a planar interface joining two homogeneous, isotropic, and linearly elastic half-spaces. Such an incidence angle is numerically shown to exist for two combinations of bimaterial interface properties. The SH-wave intromission angle is roughly parallel to the electromagnetic Brewster angle and the acoustic P-wave intromission angle, and the concept should find new applications for non-intrusive characterization of interfaces. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.

This paper reports on the adaptation of this system to permit its rapid deployment in support of a variety of civilian and military emergency-response applications. The innovation that allows for this rapid deployment is an intuitive graphical user interface that permits a non-expert to quickly configure the model for a new application, and launch the forecast system to produce operational products without further intervention. The graphical interface is Web based and can be run on a wireless laptop or a personal digital assistant in the field. The instructions for configuring the modeling system are transmitted to a compute engine [generally a personal computer (PC) cluster], and forecast products are placed on a Web site that can be accessed by emergency responders or other forecast users. This system has been used operationally for predicting the potential transport and dispersion of hazardous material during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, and during military operations in Afghanistan. It has also been used operationally to satisfy the rapidly evolving needs of wildfire managers. Continued use of the modeling system by nonexperts will allow developers to refine the graphical interface and make the model and the interface more fault tolerant with respect to the decisions of model users. * The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society is the property of American Meteorological Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

SN - 09208542 AB - Particle tracking methods are a versatile computational technique central to the simulation of a wide range of scientific applications. In this paper, we present a new parallel particle tracking framework for the applications of scientific computing. The framework includes the “in-element” particle tracking method, which is based on the assumption that particle trajectories are computed by problem data localized to individual elements, as well as the dynamic partitioning of particle-mesh computational systems. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a parallel in-element particle tracking framework capable of interfacing with a different order of accuracy of ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver. The parallel efficiency of such particle-mesh systems depends on the partitioning of both the mesh elements and the particles; this distribution can change dramatically because of movement of the particles and adaptive refinement of the mesh. To address this problem we introduce a combined load function that is a function of both the particle and mesh element distributions. We present experimental results that detail the performance of this parallel load balancing approach for a three-dimensional particle-mesh test problem on an unstructured, adaptive mesh, and demonstrate the ability of interfacing with different ODE solvers.

The most important reason for this is the lack of high quality physical models for the damage and failure processes that occur during high-speed impact. An approach for modeling impact damage in metals, based on physical modeling of adiabatic shear bands and voids, will be presented. Scaling laws for damage from shear bands have been developed over the past decade from detailed analysis of the thermomechanical processes, and are being adapted for efficient use in large-scale computations. A similar approach for ductile void growth and spall has also been initiated. This approach is expected to lead to models that are based on the essence of the physics, rather than on fitting of phenomenological models to large databases. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Experiments with piles of thin sample plates confirm the appearance of the failure wave in elastically compressed fused quartz, K8 crown glass, and heavy flint glass, although the relationships between the Hugoniot elastic limits and the failure thresholds of these glasses are different. The failure waves were not recorded in quartz and silicon single crystals and polycrystalline alumina and boron carbide ceramics. The results show that the propagation speed of the failure wave in glass slightly depends on the stress above the failure threshold, and does not depend on the propagation distance. The process becomes unstable and stops at stresses near the failure threshold. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Survival rates were derived from a mark-recapture study of mussels conducted in the Mississippi and Otter Tail rivers, Minnesota. The software package VORTEX was used to develop a base line population model which changed little or not at all through time. Models based on the initial base line data were constructed to simulate behaviors of A. plicata populations under various levels of mortality attributed to zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha, Pallas 1771) colonizations. Models were also developed that simulated varying levels of commercial harvesting of A. plicata. Sensitivity analysis revealed that A. plicata populations are most sensitive to alterations in adult survival. Adult survival is the life history stage most often impacted by both D. polymorpha colonizations and commercial harvesting. Population models simulating D. polymorpha mediated mortality revealed that population extinction was likely to occur within 50 y if survival rates remain at the levels recently measured. Models that simulated a commercial harvest of only 5% of the adult A. plicata population predicted that populations will decline by almost 50% in only 40 y. Our recommendation is that a concerted effort should be made to estimate the population size of potentially harvested populations of freshwater mussels. These estimates would allow for a more accurate estimate of what percentage of the adult mussels are actually being harvested. The population estimates would also allow for setting of quotas or limiting the number of permits for harvesters in the face of increased D. polymorpha infestations, thereby ensuring that harvested populations of mussels are not being over exploited. These modeling efforts will be useful for resource managers attempting to establish a sustainable harvest of commercially valuable mussel species which may be competing with a nonindigenous spe...

The study entailed unique wintertime fieldwork along the Fort Peck reach of the Missouri River. The insights show how ice formation, presence, and breakup can influence channel stability in several important ways, especially when channels must convey substantial water flow during winter. Ice may hasten the migration of channel bends, cause transient scour and sediment deposition during winter, and induce cyclic shifts of flow thalweg through sinuous-braided subreaches. The insights are of direct significance for engineering activities along the Missouri’s Fort Peck reach and other alluvial channels subject to frigid winters. They also are significant for understanding the frigid-winter habitat of aquatic life in such channels.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2004///Spring2004 VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 533 EP - 549 PB - Allen Press Publishing Services Inc. SN - 07490208 AB - Chronic erosion of beaches along the eastern Texas barrier island coast is increasingly mitigated by renourishment efforts that periodically place large volumes of sand onshore. Location of beach-quality sands on the inner continental shelf is challenged in an environment where terrestrial rivers deposit fluvial sediments in back bays and lagoons instead of offshore and by shelf areas that are dominated by muds. The search for beach-quality sands thus requires understanding of the coastal geological framework and morphodynamic processes that accompanied late Quaternary evolution in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The occurrence of surficial sand deposits as positive bathymetric features on the seafloor (ridges, shoals, banks) and presence of sands buried in paleovalley (drowned channels) infill sequences makes for complicated search procedures that must accurately differentiate a range of sedimentary settings by geophysical and geotechnical surveys. Compilation of vast amounts of data from historical core logs and newly acquired information in a marine information system (MIS) permits spatial analyses in a format that is compatible with development of a sand search model. The resulting differentiated investigative sand-search methods, that comprise part of the Texas Sand Search Model (TSSM), are able to target potential borrow areas in ebb-tidal shoals, low-relief ridge deposits, high-relief banks, and in mud-covered paleovalley sequences.

Results from this study suggest that, although removal of a VOC generally increases with a decrease in its Henry's constant, an optimal Henry's constant range for biofiltration may exist. For the treatment of VOCs with high Henry's constant values, such as hexane and toluene, the transfer of VOCs between the vapor and liquid phases or between the vapor phase and the biofilm is a rate-determining step. However, oxygen (O2) transfer may become a rate-limiting step in treating VOCs with low Henry's constants, such as butanol, especially at high organic loadings. The results demonstrated that in a gas-phase aerobic biofilter, nitrate can serve both as a growth-controlling nutrient and as an electron acceptor in a biofilm for the respiration of VOCs with low Henry's constants. Microbial communities within the biofilters were examined using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to provide a more complete picture of the effect of O2 limitation and denitrification on biofilter performance.

Findings from two federal agencies have shown a significant reduction in both the time required to conduct a design review and the number of required participating parties. An economic analysis of the impact of Web collaboration on the design review process done for U.S. Corps of Engineers projects indicates that using the Web for design review collaboration provides a 73% savings in meeting time and travel cost.

It was found that 2 moles of ozone are required for the initial degradation of 1 mole of DCP. The overall reaction between ozone and a DCP was found to be second order (first order per reactant). The overall reaction rate constants of all three DCPs increased with pH because of increased dissociation of the dichlorophenol molecules to dichlorophenoxide ions. Due to its high dissociation constant, 2,6-DCP is most reactive of the three with ozone with the overall reaction rate constants varying from 1.31×10[sup 5] to 3.36×10[sup 5] M[sup -1] s[sup -1] within the pH range of 2.0–4.0. Various chlorobenzenediols, chlorocyclohexadienediones, ketones, esters, and carboxylic acids were identified as intermediate and final ozonation products using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. The initial electrophilic addition of ozone at the ortho and para positions of the molecular and ionic forms is proposed as the likely mechanism for DCP ozonation.

JO - Canadian Geotechnical Journal JF - Canadian Geotechnical Journal Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 193 EP - 211 PB - Canadian Science Publishing SN - 00083674 AB - The prediction of liquefaction and resulting displacements is a major concern for earth structures located in regions of moderate to high seismicity. Conventional procedures used to assess liquefaction commonly predict the triggering of liquefaction to depths of 50 m or more. Remediation to prevent or curtail liquefaction at these depths can be very expensive. Field experience during past earthquakes indicates that liquefaction has mainly occurred at depths less than about 15 m, and some recent dynamic centrifuge model testing initially appeared to confirm a depth or confining-stress limitation on the occurrence of liquefaction. Such a limitation on liquefaction could greatly reduce remediation costs. In this paper an effective stress numerical modeling procedure is used to assess these centrifuge tests. The results indicate that a lack of complete saturation and densification at depth arising from the application of the high-acceleration field are largely responsible for the apparent limitation on liquefaction at depth observed in some centrifuge tests. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - La prédiction de la liquéfaction et des déplacements qui en résultent est une préoccupation majeure pour les structures en terre localisées dans des régions de séismicité moyenne à forte. Les procédures conventionnelles utilisées pour évaluer la liquéfaction prédisent communément le déclenchement de la liquéfaction à des profondeurs de 50 m et plus. Le confortement pour prévenir ou réduire la liquéfaction à ces profondeurs peut coûter très cher. L'expérience sur le terrain durant les derniers séismes indique que la liquéfaction s'est produite principalement à des profondeurs inférieures de moins de 15 m, et des essais dynamiques récents sur modèle en centrifuge ont semblé confirmer une limitation de la profondeur ou de la contrainte de confinement pour la génération de la liquéfaction. Une telle limitation sur la liquéfaction pourrait réduire considérablement les coûts de confortement. Dans cet article, on utilise une procédure de modélisation numérique en contrainte effective pour évaluer les essais de centrifuge. Les résultats indiquent qu'un manque de saturation complète de même qu'une densification à une profondeur résultant de l'application du champ des fortes accélérations sont largement responsables de la limitation apparente sur la liquéfaction en profondeur observée dans certains essais au centrifuge.

Sediments dewatered by 20% and 60% and rehydrated exhibited a lower exchangeable ammonium-N (NH4-N) concentration and a lower rate of nitrate/nitrite-N and NH4-N release from sediments compared with controls. In contrast, sediments dewatered by 95% and rehydrated exhibited a marked increase in exchangeable sediment NH4-N and a much higher rate of nitrate/nitrite-N (under oxic conditions) and NH4-N (under oxic and anoxic conditions) release from sediments. Sediment dewatered by 60% and 95% and rehydrated lost total N (18%), suggesting denitrification. Growth of Potamogeton pectinatus responded to changes in the exchangeable sediment NH4-N concentration; it was lower on partially dewatered and rehydrated sediments that exhibited lower exchangeable sediment NH4-N and elevated on sediment that was dewatered by 95%. Our results suggest that sediment N may be altered via sediment dewatering and rehydration to affect macrophyte growth.

Les sédiments déshydratés de 20 % et de 60 % et ensuite réhydratés possèdent une concentration réduite d'azote-ammonium (NH4-N) échangeable et un taux de libération réduit d'azote-nitrate/nitrite et de NH4-N par comparaison aux sédiments témoins. En revanche, les sédiments déshydratés de 95 % et ensuite réhydratés affichent un accroissement marqué de NH4-N échangeable dans les sédiments et des taux beaucoup plus élevés de libération d'azote- nitrate/nitrite (en conditions oxiques) et de NH4-N (en conditions oxiques et anoxiques). Les sédiments déshydratés de 60 % et de 95 % et ensuite réhydratés perdent 18 % de leur azote total, ce qui fait croire à une dénitrification. La croissance de Potamogeton pectinatus réagit aux changements de concentrations du NH4-N échangeable dans les sédiments; elle est plus faible dans les sédiments déshydratés puis réhydratés qui possèdent des concentrations plus basses de NH4-N échangeable et plus élevée dans les sédiments déshydratés à 95 %. Nos résultats indiquent que l'azote des sédiments peut être altéré par la déshydratation et la réhydratation de manière à affecter la croissance des macrophytes.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences is the property of Canadian Science Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Restoration Ecology JF - Restoration Ecology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 63 EP - 69 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 10612971 AB - In California's Mediterranean type grasslands, native perennial grasses such as Nassella pulchra are surrounded by introduced annual species and these annuals are thought to have displaced natives through much of their range. Amongst other invaders, two grasses Lolium multiflorum and Bromus hordeaceus, commonly dominate portions of the grassland with potential for N. pulchra restoration. We hypothesized that competitor species differences and small-scale gaps (150 cm2) could be important determinants of N. pulchra survival and performance on these sites. Lolium multiflorum and B. hordeaceus were planted in 20 cm diameter circular plots at a constant rate of 1 seed per cm2 surrounding newly transplanted N. pulchra plants. Nassella pulchra showed no significant effect of the species of competitor or from the distribution of the competitors. Both interspersion of patches of bare ground and separation of competitors into patches did not increase N. pulchra pre-dawn water potential, basal area change, number of seeds produced, or average weight of seeds. The presence of L. multiflorum was associated with a decrease in N. pulchra survival compared with plots with only B. hordeaceus. Plants with increases in basal area of less than 0.75 cm2 during the growing season had 74% mortality compared with no mortality in plants with more growth. However, initial N. pulchra plant size was not a good predictor of mortality. Limiting competition from annuals may increase survival of N. pulchra plantings, but 60% of the plants survived for at least 1 year, despite being transplanted into soil containing substantial annual grass seed.

SN - 00188158 AB - We examined sediment resuspension and light attenuation in relation to the potential for macrophytes to improve water quality conditions in Peoria Lake, Illinois (U.S.A.). The lake exhibited high total suspended solids (TSS) loading and retention of predominantly fine-grained particles in 2000. Large fetches along prevailing wind rose, coupled with shallow morphometry and sediment particles composed of >90% silt and clay resulted in frequent periods of sediment resuspension. As calculated (wave theory) shear stress increased above the critical shear stress (measured experimentally), turbidity increased substantially at a resuspension monitoring station. Resuspension model explorations suggested that establishment of submersed aquatic macrophytes could substantially reduce sediment resuspension in Peoria Lake. However, Kd is currently very high, while Secchi transparency low, at in-lake stations. Thus, in order to establish a persistent macrophyte population in the lake to control resuspension, the underwater light regime will have to improve quite dramatically.

Studies were conducted in late summer, 1998, when macrophyte biomass levels exceeded 200 g m-2, and in early summer, 2000, when biomass was greatly reduced (<20 g m-2) in both plant beds. The critical shear stress (τc) of sediments, measured experimentally in the laboratory, was low (1.4 dynes cm-2) indicating potential for resuspension in the absence of macrophytes. During 1998, turbidity was low at the M. sibiricum and Chara station, rarely increasing when calculated bottom τ (calculated from wave theory assuming no biomass obstruction) exceeded τsubcsub, indicating that both beds reduced sediment resuspension at high biomass levels. In situ τ (estimated τ), measured via gypsum sphere dissolution, did not exceed τc above the sediment interface in either bed during 1998. In contrast, sediment resuspension occurred in both beds during similar high winds in 2000. However, estimated τ was lower than calculated bottom τ, suggesting that at low biomass, macrophytes were having some impact on τ.

Evaluation of past performance of masonry structures has led to more stringent design and construction requirements in the current building codes, and has raised concerns about the performance of existing lightly reinforced and unreinforced masonry buildings in future earthquakes. Base isolation has been shown to be effective in reducing damage to large building structures, and appears to be particularly effective in protecting stiff masonry structures. Using the base isolation principle, Kansas State University’s stiffness decoupler for the base isolation of structures (SDBIS) was designed to effectively reduce the acceleration and force transferred into a building superstructure during a seismic event. The sliding system uses a passive method to provide damping and to dissipate some of the kinetic energy to reduce relative displacements. In addition, the SDBIS system includes a self-centering element that will recover the majority of the induced displacement and provide resistance to overturning. In order to apply the SDBIS system to the masonry building industry, dynamic testes were performed to evaluate the structural response of a full-size one-story masonry model that was supported by the SDBIS system. Acceleration time-history results are presented for dynamic tests using the July 21, 1952 Kern County earthquake, Station 1095 Taft Lincoln School record, the May 19, 1940 Imperial Valley earthquake, Station 117 El Centro Array #9 record, the February 9, 1971 San Fernando earthquake, Station 279 Pacoima Dam record, and the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake, Station 24436 Tarzana Cedar Hill record ground motions. Test results show the system is effective when used with a masonry structure.

Electrothermal desorption (ED) of ACFC provides rapid regeneration while requiring less energy compared to traditional regeneration techniques used with GAC. This paper provides proof-of-concept results from a bench-scale ACFC adsorption system. The automated system captured 1,000 ppmv of hazardous air pollutants/volatile organic compounds (HAPs/VOCs) from air streams and demonstrated the use of ED, using ac voltage, to recover the HAP/VOC as a pure liquid. The desorbed HAP/VOC condensed onto the inner walls of the adsorber and was collected at the bottom of the vessel, without the use of ancillary cooling. Seventy percent of the HAP/VOC was collected per cycle as condensate, with the balance being retained in the regenerated adsorber or recycled to the second adsorber. ED with in-vessel condensation results in minimal N[sub 2] consumption and short regeneration cycle times allowing the process to be cost competitive with conventional GAC-based adsorption processes. This technology extends the application of carbon adsorption systems to situations that were previously economically and physically impractical.

Methyl propyl ketone (MPK), methyl ethyl ketone, n-hexane, acetone, and methylene chloride were removed and recovered at 200–1,020 ppm[sub v] in a 40.0 slpm air stream while using activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) adsorbent. Removal efficiencies were greater than 99.9%. Liquid recovery fractions increased with increasing relative pressure, ranging from 0.11 for methylene chloride (P/P[sub sat]=2.1×10[sup -3]) to greater than 0.80 for MPK (P/P[sub sat]=2.2×10[sup -2]). The electrical energy consumed during regeneration per mol of liquid organic compound recovered decreased with increasing relative pressure of the inlet gas stream, ranging from 4,698 kJ/mol for methylene chloride to 327 kJ/mol for MPK. Equilibrium ACFC adsorption capacity, throughput ratio, and length of unused bed were also evaluated. These results are encouraging for the development of a new technology to capture and readily recover a wide range of organic vapors from air streams.

The effects of the influent VOC concentration and the organic loading rate on the VOC removal efficiency and on the pattern of biomass accumulation were investigated. Toluene was used as the model VOC, the flow rate of the waste gas stream was 0.59 L/s, and the empty-bed retention time (EBRT) in the ASP portion was 46 s with an actual retention time of about 2 s. The EBRT in the RDB portion was 38 s based on the drum volume. When the VOC feed concentration increased from 221 to 884 mg toluene/m3 (from 57.2 to 229 ppm), correspondingly the organic loading rate of the hybrid bioreactor increased from 1.58 to 6.32 kg chemical oxygen demand/m3/day (from 0.505 to 2.02 kg toluene/m[sup 3]/day) based on the drum volume, both the ASP and RDB decreased, and the overall toluene removal efficiency declined from 99.8 to 74.1%. Biomass accumulation at different medium depths became more even when the organic loading rate was increased. Part of the applied VOC was biodegraded by the ASP, which suggests that this hybrid bioreactor could achieve longer runs between medium cleanings and higher VOC removal efficiencies than a single RDB bioreactor without an ASP portion at the same organic loading rate.

JO - Inhalation Toxicology JF - Inhalation Toxicology Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 16 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 103 EP - 111 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 08958378 AB - The inhalation toxicity of cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GF) was examined in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats exposed by whole body in a dynamic 750-L chamber. The objectives of this study were to (1) generate GF vapor in a dynamic inhalation chamber system, starting in the lethal to near-lethal concentration range, (2) examine dose-response effects of inhaled GF vapor and analyze the relationship between concentration ( C ) and exposure duration ( T ) in determining probability of lethality, and (3) establish a lethal potency ratio between GF and the more volatile agent Sarin (GB). Using a syringe pump, GF vapor concentrations were generated for exposure times of 10, 60, and 240 min. Dose-response curves with associated slopes were determined for each exposure duration by the Bliss probit method. GF vapor exposures were associated with sublethal clinical signs such as tremors, convulsions, salivation, and miosis. Concentration-exposure time values for lethality in 50% of the exposed population (LCT 50 ) were calculated for 24-h and 14-day postexposure periods for 10-, 60-, and 240-min exposures. In general, LCT 50 values were lower in female rats than males and increased with exposure duration; that is, CT was not constant over time. The GF LCT 50 values for female rats were 253 mg min/m 3 at 10 min, 334 mg min/m 3 at 60 min, and 533 mg min/m 3 at 240 min, while the values for males were 371, 396, and 585 mg min/m 3 , respectively. The GB LCT 50 values for female rats were 235 mg min/m 3 at 10 min, 355 mg min/m 3 at 60 min, and 840 mg min/m 3 at 240 min, while the values for males were 316, 433, and 1296 mg min/m 3 , respectively. At longer exposure durations, the LCT 50 for GF was less than that found for GB but at shorter exposure durations, the LCT 50 for GF was more than that found for GB. Empirical models, consisting of the toxic load model plus higher order terms, were developed and successfully fit to the data.

The tests also investigated the influence of collision geometry, determined by the debris orientation on impact, on the maximum impact forces. We reviewed the three approaches that represent the existing guidance for estimating maximum impact forces. Each approach estimates the maximum impact force based on the debris velocity and mass. We show that all the existing approaches can be derived from a single-degree-of-freedom model of the collision and can be considered to be equivalent. The laboratory data show that the maximum impact force was associated with a log striking a rigid structure with its end. Oblique and eccentric collisions reduced the maximum impact load in a predictable and consistent manner. The approach we refer to as “contact stiffness,” a linear, one-degree-of-freedom model with no damping, was able to reproduce the laboratory results over the entire range of data, with an effective contact stiffness of 2.4 MN/m.

Now, hazards of concern include both high and low levels of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals in air, soil, and water. The types of health effects considered have expanded to include both immediate, acute effects (mild and severe), and delayed or chronic outcomes. Because federal exposure standards are not applicable to deployed personnel, the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine established military-specific exposure guidelines in Technical Guide 230, Chemical Exposure Guidelines for Deployed Military Personnel. Methods used to develop the guidelines address toxicological data limitations, uniqueness of military populations and exposure scenarios, and a risk assessment process compatible with existing military operational risk management doctrine. The Technical Guide 230 helps ensure chemical hazards are addressed in various deployment scenarios.

This cohort study analyzed health status responses and their relationship to postdeployment health outcomes among 16,142 military personnel who completed a health questionnaire after a deployment ending in 1999. Respondents were Army and Air Force personnel returning from Europe or Southwest Asia. Fourteen percent documented at least one health concern and 1.8% had fair/poor self-rated health. In the 6 months after deployment, 1.4% were hospitalized, 25% made five or more outpatient visits, and 4% separated from military service. Deployers with fair/poor self-rated health were at a significantly increased risk for high use of outpatient services (risk ratio, men 1.8, women 1.7) but not for hospitalization or separation. Self-report of low health status or other health concerns may help identify deployers with higher health care needs after future deployments.

In addition to consuming up to 60% of the energy needed by automobile assembly plants, however, the painting process also creates both economic and environmental impacts. This study investigated the degree of cost and environmental impact improvement that can be expected when modifications are considered for existing paint processes through heat integration. In order to accomplish this goal, a mathematical model was created to describe the energy use, costs, and environmental impacts from energy consumption in an automobile assembly painting facility. The model agrees with measured energy consumption data for process heating and electricity demand to within about 15% for one Michigan truck facility from which model input parameters were obtained. Thermal pinch analysis determined an energy conservation target of 58% of paint process energy demand. A heat exchanger network optimization study was conducted in order to determine how closely the network design could achieve this target. The resulting heat exchanger network design was profitable based on a discounted cash flow analysis and may achieve reductions in total corporate energy consumption of up to 16% if implemented corporatewide at a major automobile manufacturer.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 169 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 56 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - This study reviews historical and biomedical aspects of soldier load carriage. Before the 18th century, foot soldiers seldom carried more than 15 kg while on the march, but loads have progressively risen since then. This load increase is presumably due to the weight of weapons and equipment that incorporate new technologies to increase protection, firepower, communications, and mobility. Research shows that locating the load center of mass as close as possible to the body center of mass results in the lowest energy cost and tends to keep the body in an upright position similar to unloaded walking. Loads carried on other parts of the body result in higher energy expenditures: each kilogram added to the foot increases energy expenditure 7% to 10%; each kilogram added to the thigh increases energy expenditure 4%. Hip belts on rucksacks should be used whenever possible as they reduce pressure on the shoulders and increase comfort. Low or mid-back load placement might be preferable on uneven terrain but high load placement may be best for even terrain. In some tactical situations, combat load carts can be used, and these can considerably reduce energy expenditure and improve performance. Physical training that includes aerobic exercise, resistance training targeted at specific muscle groups, and regular road marching can considerably improve road marching speed and efficiency. The energy cost of walking with backpack loads increases progressively with increases in weight carried, body mass, walking speed, or grade; type of terrain also influences energy cost. Predictive equations have been developed, but these may not be accurate for prolonged load carriage. Common injuries associated with prolonged load carriage include foot blisters, stress fractures, back strains, metatarsalgia, rucksack palsy, and knee pain. Load carriage can be facilitated by lightening loads, improving load distribution, optimizing load-carriage equipment, and taking preventive action to reduce...

The two replacement strategies included the reserve component option and the TRICARE internal resource-sharing option. A hypothetical scenario was used as a mechanism for the analysis, and three key variables were considered: effectiveness, feasibility, and operational expense, From the perspective of effectiveness, the TRICARE strategy demonstrated an ability to provide a slightly larger percentage of the requested replacement personnel. With regard to feasibility, both strategies were feasible in that both could provide replacements for the duration of the 270-day deployment and within an established 180-day report date. Operational expense was a decisive factor with the reserve component option significantly less costly than the TRICARE alternative. Weaknesses and strengths of each option were identified and discussed, and alternatives were recommended.

For texture analysis, wavelet decomposition in gray scale images of particles is performed. The results demonstrate that multiscale wavelet representation is a powerful tool by which to capture the texture and to differentiate “true” texture from “false” texture caused by variations of natural color on a particle surface. Angularity and form analyses of particles are done using binary images. A gradient-based method is employed to describe angularity. This method is shown to differentiate between particles with different angularity characteristics. Form analysis of the particles includes computing the shape factor and sphericity index, which are based on measurements of the shortest, intermediate, and longest axis of the particle. Particle thickness is measured using the feature of an autofocus microscope. The width and length are calculated by an eigenvalue decomposition method of two-dimensional particle projections. Details of an interactive software developed to compute the different aggregate shape factors are discussed. The results indicate that these calculated values of the particle dimensions match very closely the values measured manually using a digital caliper.

To determine whether assignment in this desert environment increases risk of respiratory illnesses, hospitalization rates were compared between two matched cohorts of soldiers during three intervals of follow-up during a 10-year surveillance period. The exposed cohort (N = 21,543) included ail soldiers who were ever assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. The control cohort (N = 86,172) included soldiers matched on demographic characteristics who were never assigned to the Mojave Desert during the surveillance period. Three follow-up intervals ("before," "during," "after") were defined relative to times when exposed soldiers were assigned to the desert. Rates of respiratory hospitalizations were similar between the cohorts for the "before" and "during" intervals but were higher in the exposed cohort for the "after" interval (rate ratio, 1.30; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.59). This difference was largely attributable to excess pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations in the exposed cohort. Healthy, young adults may have increased susceptibility to respiratory infectious illnesses after prolonged exposures to desert environments.

Simulations of tracer dispersion demonstrate that these heterogeneities enhance hydrodynamic dispersion, and that the degree of enhancement is related to the cylinder radius, R. The time scale for asymptotic dispersion in a packed cylinder is proportional to R[sup 2]/D⁁[sub T], where D⁁[sub T] represents an average rate of spreading transverse to the direction of flow. A generalization of the Taylor–Aris model of dispersion in a tube provides qualitative predictions of the long-time dispersion behavior in packed cylinders. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

SN - 01461044 AB - Damage to sexual self-esteem can occur readily through interactions with others; name-calling, sexual insults, unsuccessful sexual interactions, sexual victimization, and one's own impulsivity and self-destructiveness in a sexual encounter can affect the individual's sexual self-esteem. In this paper, five cases are provided to clarify the ways in which individuals experience damage to their sexual self-esteem. Some of these cases came under court scrutiny; monetary compensation was ordered by the courts because of extreme damage in some of the cases. Damage to SSE can be extreme, disabling and can significantly detract from the individual's self-view, satisfaction with life, capability to experience pleasure, willingness to interact with others and ability to develop relationships.

The model accommodates arbitrary stress path directions and includes three important elements: (1) development of a yield surface during interface shear; (2) a formulation for yield-inducing shear stiffness that is applicable to any stress path orientation; and (3) a formulation for unloading-reloading shear stiffness. The model was evaluated against the results of shear tests performed at the interface between three different types of sand and a concrete surface under a variety of stress paths. Comparisons between measured and calculated interface response indicate that the model provides accurate estimates of the response of sand-to-concrete interfaces.

JO - Journal of Military Ethics JF - Journal of Military Ethics Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 2 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 195 EP - 212 PB - Routledge SN - 15027570 AB - In this paper, I reflect on various forms of military honor at play within the West's military traditions. I seek the true form. Employing a Humean framework, I clarify the beliefs and their origins grounding five of our highly disparate forms of military honor: (1) Southern Honor (Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg); (2) Regimental Honor (British Lieutenant John Rouse Merriot Chard, 5 th Company Royal Engineers, and Acting Assistant Commissary James Dalton at Rorke's Drift, Zulu Wars, January 22-23, 1879); (3) National Honor (French Marshall Ferdinand Foch at the Marne, World War I, 8 September 1914); (4) Officer Honor (Israeli Nahum Arieli in Israel's War for Independence, 1948); and (5) Warrior 'Honor' (the unknown French and Algerian warriors at Chipyong-ni, South Korea, Korean War, 13-15 February 1951). I employ in my analysis four Humean insights derived from a close study of A Treatise of Human Nature and a little known essay by Hume, 'An Historical Essay on Chivalry and Modern Honour'. They are the Fundamental, the Temporal, the Level of Abstraction, and the Ultimate Insights. The conclusions suggest the following as a characterization of true military honor, a virtue best exemplified in practice by Robert E. Lee: 'Reliant on esteem for its past, warrior honor is a certain constancy, harmony and refinement of the natural virtues of greatness of mind and extended benevolence. Both virtues for the warrior are deeply rooted in and expressive of a common life for which he is prepared to die'.

It is also a crucial requirement for athletic events and activities. Deterioration in this postural control mechanism is termed postural instability and results in increased postural sway. Decrements in postural sway have been documented following a 15.5-mile run. It remains to be seen whether a shorter distance run will cause a similar decrease in postural control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 2-mile run on postural sway in healthy subjects. Forty-four healthy subjects were assigned to an experimental group (2-mile run) or a control group. Postural sway was measured before and after the run with the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and a clinical balance test called the Military Academy Stance Test. There was a significant before-after run Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index (p < 0.05) and Military Academy Stance Test index (p < 0.05) increase in the experimental group. There was no significant change for the control group. It was concluded that a 2-mile run does produce a significant increase in postural sway as measured using the Biodex Stability System Overall Stability Index and Military Academy Stance Test.

Traditional dental missions have been a part of general MEDRETEs and have focused care on extractions and the provision of oral hygiene instructions. This article describes the tenets of a prevention-based dental humanitarian mission to Honduras in 2002. Materials and Methods: The U.S. Army Southern Command requested a Dental Specialty MEDRETE for fiscal year 2002. A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the dental readiness training exercises at the Escuala Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. Results: The U.S. Army Dental Command in conjunction with the 257th Medical Company {Dental Services) performed a pediatric dental readiness training exercises in Tegucigalpa March 4-15, 2002. In over 9 treatment days, there were 369 patient encounters totaling 1,593 treatment procedures. In keeping with the preventive focus of the mission, 514 dental occlusal sealants were provided compared with only 90 extractions. Over $76,000 in dental services was provided. Conclusions: The 2002 Honduran Dental Specialty MEDRETE represented a changing paradigm from extraction-based dental missions toward prevention-based missions. With this philosophical shift in focused care, Dental Specialty MEDRETEs have the ability to enhance the oral health of children, including those not fortunate enough to have received direct interventional dentistry.

This hydrolysate was diluted and fed as sole carbon source to activated sludge in an aerobic sequencing batch reactor. Feed chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations ranged from approximately 2500 mg/L (initial) to 5000 mg/L (final). The reactor was operated essentially on a 15-day hydraulic residence time. Overall COD removal efficiency was 86.2% and the IMPA in the feed was converted to methylphosphonic acid. MICROTOX ® and Daphnia magna aquatic toxicity testing showed the effluent to be of very low toxicity to aquatic test organisms. The final MPA product was effectively absorbed by Phoslock ™, which is a lanthanide modified clay.

It provides endpoints of edema and histopathology 24 h following a topical SM exposure to assess protection against inflammation and tissue damage. To further evaluate successful compounds, the MEVM was modified for use as a 7-day model. Dose response studies were conducted with SM to select an optimal challenge dose for the new model. Due to severity of SM-induced tissue damage by Day 7, edema and histopathology were determined unreliable endpoints. Therefore, a modified Draize scoring system (no damage to extensive necrosis) was incorporated as an endpoint to evaluate tissue damage out to Day 7. To aid in optimal SM dose selection, retro synthetic capsaicin (RSCAP), a protective compound in the MEVM, was evaluated as a treatment 15 min before exposure to 0.06, 0.08, and 0.16 mg SM. The RSCAP compound provided similar significant protection at Day 7 against the 0.06- (42% reduction) and 0.08-mg doses (32% reduction), but was not effective against the severely necrotizing 0.16-mg SM dose. Based on these results, an optimum SM dose of 0.08 mg was selected. Retro synthetic capsaicin and two pharmacologically inactive analogs were tested as topical treatments 15 min prior to SM challenge. The RSCAP compound significantly reduced injury, whereas the inactive analogs had no protective effect. The RSCAP also significantly reduced SM injury when administered topically 10 min after SM challenge. These data support the use of the 7-day mouse ear vesicant treatment model (MEVTM) in evaluating candidate antivesicant compounds.

Low-frequency sound transmissions were continuously recorded at microphones out to a distance of 1.3 km from a loudspeaker during CASES-99 intensive observation periods (IOPs) 6 and 7. Fading episodes in the received signal energy of 10 to 20 dB, lasting several minutes to an hour, were frequently observed. Strong discrete events, such as the density current and solitary wave of IOP 7, were found to have significant effects on acoustical signals, although substantial variability in received sound energy often occurred outside such events. Sound propagation model predictions demonstrate that wind and temperature data from a tall tower, such as the CASES-99 60-m tower, can be used to predict the momentary variations in a 50-Hz sound signal with good success. Tethersonde and rawinsonde data are generally too infrequent to model many of the strong variations present in the signal. The sensitivity of sound waves to changes in nocturnal boundary layer structure could allow development of new remote sensing methods.

In compensable delay cases, there is no doubt that home office overhead is a legitimate expense of the contractor. However, the methodology for the calculation of the expense incurred has been widely debated as well as the circumstances under which the methodology should be applied. The Eichleay formula was born in 1960, and has come a long way over the past 40 years in its use and application. Court and board decisions have shaped the prerequisite criteria for its application and made it what it is today. This paper provides the background concept of compensable damage due to project delay, the effects of delay on home office overhead, the Eichleay formula evolution, precedence for prerequisite criteria for the formulas’ application, and other formulas and methods that have evolved and been used. A “Direct Method” is proposed by the authors, which is straightforward and simple to apply. In the final analysis, obtaining a 100% accurate estimate of home office expenses is practically onerous. Therefore, representative formulas and techniques are used to arrive at a reasonable value for the unabsorbed overhead.

Data strip mining refers to predictive data mining problems where there are a large number of descriptive features, and the number of features is on the order of or exceeds the number of data records (e.g., 100 to 1000 features for 50 to 300 data records). After reducing the number of descriptive features to a manageable set using 1-D neural network sensitivity analysis (e.g., 40 features), a 2-D neural network sensitivity analysis allows the user to visualize variations in the response to identify relevant combinations of features. Each relevant combination can then be analyzed independently to look for interesting patterns and relationships, and can be used in this way to either prune more features or to get insight into the underlying rules for the model. 2-D sensitivity analysis enables the exploration of relevant relationships and features resulting in more robust, meaningful, and efficient models. This methodology was applied to an in-silico drug design problem with 64 molecules and 160 descriptive features.

These devices use a SQUID magnetometer to measure the variation in the dc magnetization of a thermometric element that consists of a dilute concentration of manganese in a palladium matrix. Near 2.2 K these new PdMn thermometers have demonstrated a temperature resolution of better than 100 pK/[Square_Root]Hz and a time constant of 50 ms when operated with a 50 K/W thermal resistance to the liquid helium sample. These thermometers have been observed to be remarkably stable, with a drift of less than 10 fK/s. The observed power spectral density of the noise from these thermometers is consistent with separate measurements of the device’s time constant and thermal standoff from the bath. Recently these PdMn materials have been made into thin films and microstructures for use in future studies of quantum liquids, and for possible use in a new class of bolometers and radiometers. These thermometers have been integrated into an experimental cell and thermal isolation network that are adequate to keep stray heats stable to within a few picowatts, with no systematic temperature errors greater than 60 pK, over the course of a planned fundamental physics experiment on Earth orbit. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

At lower water surface elevations, Devils Lake functions as a series of connected basins with salinity increasing in an eastward direction due to evaporation. The recent increase in water depth provides an opportunity for increased dispersive exchange flows and mixing between the lake’s basins due to wind and buoyancy forces. This increased mixing will change the future water quality distribution in Devils Lake, and may therefore have an impact on plans for lake level stabilization. In this paper, a model based on energy and conservation of mass principles is applied to estimate the potential redistribution of sulfate within Devils Lake. The rate of redistribution may affect the lake’s ecosystem and the design of a possible water diversion to the Red River of the North for the purpose of stabilizing the water surface elevation. Included in the paper is the selection of model input parameters, model calibration with field measurements, and application of the model to five future scenarios.

Icaricia icarioides fenderi (Fender's blue butterfly) and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid's lupine) are federally listed as Endangered and Threatened Species, respectively. Both are Willamette Valley upland prairie endemics, and Kincaid's lupine is the primary host plant for the Fender's blue butterfly. Attempts to grow Kincaid's lupine have been partially successful in a greenhouse situation; however, propagating plants from field-sown seed can be tenuous and plant establishment is unpredictable. Kincaid's lupine seeds were planted in the fall 1997 at two different upland prairie sites, and the cohort was followed through the summer 2000. Based on cohort tables the most vulnerable life stages to mortality are the germinant stage and the first growing year. Mechanical scarification of Kincaid's lupine seeds yielded no significant differences in survivorship, maternal function, plant size, and the percentage of seeds germinated compared with unscarified seeds. Differential seed source performance detected at one planting site suggests that underlying differences in population genetics may affect Kincaid's lupine vigor, fitness, and establishment. Future restoration projects for Kincaid's lupine should focus on upland prairie sites with naturally occurring lupine populations because local ecological conditions are favorable for lupine establishment. Moreover, the addition of new individuals to small Kincaid's lupine colonies will buffer against the effects of inbreeding depression and increase the site carrying capacity for Fender's blue butterfly.

The Army has pledged to implement a program to identify possible munitions contamination. Because of the large size (344,165,000 m²) of the high hazard impact areas, characterization of these constituents will be difficult. We used an authoritative sampling design to find locations most likely to contain explosives-residues on three impact areas. We focused our sampling on surface soils and collected multi-increment and discrete samples at locations of known firing events and from areas on the range that had craters, pieces of munitions, targets, or a designation as a firing point. In the two impact areas used primarily by the Army, RDX was the most frequently detected explosive. In the impact area that was also used by the Air Force, TNT was the most frequently detected explosive. Where detected, the explosives concentrations generally were low (<0.05 mg/kg) except in soils near low-order detonations, where the explosive-filler was in contact with the soil surface. These low-order detonations potentially can serve as localized sources for groundwater contamination if positioned in recharge areas.

The computed results for ten 500-year simulations are presented for a typical structure as an example. The crest height and armor weight of the structure are designed against the peak of a 100-year storm. The structure designed conventionally is exposed to approximately 350 storms for each 500-year simulation. The computed wave overtopping rate and volume during the entire duration of each storm are analyzed to assess the severity of flooding hazards. The computed progression of damage to the armor layer is caused episodically by several major storms but slows down as the structure ages. The computed results are also used to quantify the equivalent duration of the peak of a storm that yields the same overtopping water volume and damage increment as those computed for the entire storm duration.

These equations employ added mass and hydrodynamic damping coefficients, which depend on vessel shape and the proximity of free-surface and solid boundaries. The present study has experimentally determined these coefficients for barge tows moored in the chamber of navigation locks. Seven lock chamber configurations were tested in which the width, depth, and length of the chamber and the beam width and length of the tow were varied. Values of the added mass coefficient and a nondimensional form of the damping coefficient are presented. Subsequent to modeling flow in a lock chamber, these coefficients can be used in conjunction with hawser properties (spring constants) to estimate hawser forces generated during locking operations.

The cadets were tasked to measure the diffusion coefficient of boron along tungsten grain boundaries. Two identified objectives were the preparation of the accelerator for the measurements and the development of a coincidence detector to reduce interference from Compton scattered and natural background radiations. How the cadets attacked these objectives, their successes and set backs, and the evolution of their thought process will be presented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - The Toxicokinetics of Cyanide and Mandelonitrile in the Horse and Their Relevance to the Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome. JO - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods JF - Toxicology Mechanisms & Methods Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 13 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 199 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 15376516 AB - The epidemiological association between black cherry trees and mare reproductive loss syndrome has focused attention on cyanide and environmental cyanogens. This article describes the toxicokinetics of cyanide in horses and the relationships between blood cyanide concentrations and potentially adverse responses to cyanide. To identify safe and humane blood concentration limits for cyanide experiments, mares were infused with increasing doses (1-12 mg/min) of sodium cyanide for 1 h. Infusion at 12 mg/min produced clinical signs of cyanide toxicity at 38 min; these signs included increased heart rate, weakness, lack of coordination, loss of muscle tone, and respiratory and behavioral distress. Peak blood cyanide concentrations were about 2500 ng/mL; the clinical and biochemical signs of distress reversed when infusion stopped. Four horses were infused with 1 mg/min of sodium cyanide for 1 h to evaluate the distribution and elimination kinetics of cyanide. Blood cyanide concentrations peaked at 1160 ng/mL and then declined rapidly, suggesting a two-compartment, open model. The distribution (alpha) phase half-life was 0.74 h, the terminal (beta phase) half-life was 16.16 h. The mean residence time was 12.4 h, the steady-state volume of distribution was 2.21 L/kg, and the mean systemic clearance was 0.182 L/h/kg. Partitioning studies showed that blood cyanide was about 98.5% associated with the red cell fraction. No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these infusion experiments. Mandelonitrile was next administered orally at 3 mg/kg to four horses. Cyanide was rapidly available from the orally administered mandelonitrile and the C max blood concentration of 1857 ng/mL was observed at 3 min after dosing; thereafter, blood cyanide again declined rapidly, reaching 100 ng/mL by 4 h postadministration. The mean oral bioavailability of cyanide from mandelonitrile was 57% ± 6.5 (SEM), and its apparent terminal half-life was 13 h ± 3 (SEM). No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these experiments. These data show that during acute exposure to higher doses of cyanide (∼600 mg/horse; 2500 ng/mL of cyanide in blood), redistribution of cyanide rapidly terminated the acute toxic responses. Similarly, mandelonitrile rapidly delivered its cyanide content, and acute cyanide intoxications following mandelonitrile administration can also be terminated by redistribution. Rapid termination of cyanide intoxication by redistribution is consistent with and explains many of the clinical and biochemical characteristics of acute, high-dose cyanide toxicity. On the other hand, at lower concentrations (<100 ng/mL in blood), metabolic transformation of cyanide is likely the dominant mechanism of termination of action. This process is slow, with terminal half-lives ranging from 12-16 hours. The large volume of distribution and the long terminal-phase-elimination half-life of cyanide suggest different mechanisms for toxicities and termination of toxicities associated with low-level exposure to cyanide. If environmental exposure to cyanide is a factor in the cause of MRLS, then it is likely in the more subtle effects of low concentrations of cyanide on specific metabolic processes that the associations will be found.

AC is the want to commitment. CC is the need to aspect of commitment. NC is the ought to commitment.

In this application, subject matter experts agreed on questionnaire items from a longitudinal database that fitMeyer and Allen's (1991) definitions of affective and continuance commitment. Questionnaires suitable for inclusion of these items and the original Meyer and Allen (1984) items were administered to a test sample of Army officers (N = 404). Analyses supported use of the selected items as analog scales of affective and continuance commitment in that both the selected and original items yielded similar factor structures and similar relations with officer rank and career intentions. Results for the analog items were replicated with another officer sample (N = 863). The contributions of the findings to the organizational commitment literature and research in the military are discussed.

The relation of these 2 abbreviated scales of organizational commitment to critical organizational outcomes was examined and tested. Results showed that affective and continuance commitment combined to influence subsequent soldier performance on job knowledge tests in oppositeways, suggesting a causal link between commitment and performance. Relations between affective and continuance commitment combinations and soldier-reported retention intentions, morale, and readiness were also explored. Scales developed to measure spouse commitment to the Army showed a factor structure that was comparable to that of soldiers and consistent with the dimensions of affective and continuance commitment.

Research on commitment within the hierarchical military structure may be particularly reflective of these perspectives. Affective commitment to 2 nested organizational units (Special Operations Forces and the military) was hypothesized to be distinguishable from each another and from military continuance commitment. Further, a model portraying the hypothesized relations between satisfaction and affective commitment for the 2 organizational units and career intentions was examined. Special Operations personnel (n = 3,968) from 3 service branches completed satisfaction and career intentions items in addition to modified versions (Gade, Tiggle, & Schumm, 2003/this issue) of the Meyer and Allen (1984) commitment scales. Results of the research supported the distinction between the commitment scales and provided support for the model. Implications for operational environments and future research are discussed.

Specifically, gender, ethnicity, branch of the Army, and perceptions of tokenism (e.g., isolation and stereotyping) were examined as antecedents of organizational commitment. Peer-rated leadership performance served as the outcome measure of affective (AC), continuance (CC), and normative commitment (NC). Findings indicated ethnic differences in AC and CC, gender differences in CC, and Army branch differences in AC and NC. Perceived tokenism was associated with lower levels of AC and NC and higher levels of CC. Finally, higher levels of AC and NC predicted higher leadership evaluations, whereas higher levels of CC were associated with lower leadership evaluations.

This model, herein referred to as the CROP model (for Closure, Roughness, Oxide, and Plasticity), also includes the effects of out-of-plane cracking and multi-axial loading. These features make the CROP closure model uniquely suited for, but not limited to, threshold applications. Rough cracks are idealized here as two-dimensional sawtooths, whose geometry induces mixed-mode crack-tip stresses. Continuum mechanics and crack-tip dislocation concepts are combined to relate crack face displacements to crack-tip loads. Geometric criteria are used to determine closure loads from crack-face displacements. Finite element results, used to verify model predictions, provide critical information about the locations where crack closure occurs. The CROP model is verified with experimental data in part II of this paper.

SN - 10725369 AB - Nahuatl represents a relatively recent extension of the Uto-Aztecan language family into Mesoamerica. Ethnohistorians have linked Nahuatl's arrival to the historically attested migrations of nomadic people into central Mexico in the last centuries before the Spanish Conquest. Archaeologists have tended to treat migration as an explanation for a change in material culture rather than a social question to be examined theoretically. We approach this migration through the comparison of multiple data sets and conclude that what has previously been treated as a historical event is instead part of a longer term process tying together Mesoamerica's northern periphery with its highland core. While we find that certain themes from migration theory are reflected in this preindustrial migration as well, other variables are unique and bode well for archaeology's ability to address and contribute to theoretical issues relating to migration.

Field evaluation of a ‘lethal ovitrap’ (LO) to control dengue vector Aedes mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), was undertaken in two Brazilian municipalities, Areia Branca and Nilopolis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The LO is designed to kill Aedes via an insecticide-treated ovistrip (impregnated with deltamethrin). In each municipality, the intervention was applied to a group of 30 houses (10 LOs/house) and compared to 30 houses without LOs in the same neighbourhood. Five LOs were put outside and five LOs inside each treated house. Three methods of monitoring Aedes density were employed: (i) percentage of containers positive for larvae and/or pupae; (ii) total pupae/house; (iii) total adult females/house collected by aspirator indoors. Weekly mosquito surveys began during the month before LO placement, by sampling from different groups of 10 houses/week for 3 weeks pre-intervention (i.e. 30 houses/month) and for 3 months post-intervention in both treated and untreated areas. Prior to LO placement at the end of February 2001, Aedes aegypti (L) densities were similar among houses scheduled for LO treatment and comparison (untreated control) at each municipality. Very few Ae. albopictus (Skuse) were found and this species was excluded from the assessment. Post-intervention densities of Ae. aegypti were significantly reduced for most comparators (P < 0.01), as shown by fewer positive containers (4–5 vs. 10–18) and pupae/house (0.3–0.7 vs. 8–10) at LO-treated vs. untreated houses, 3 months post-treatment at both municipalities. Numbers of adult Ae. aegypti females indoors were consistently reduced in LO-treated houses at Areia Branca (3.6 vs. 6.8/house 3 months post-intervention) but not at Niloplis (∼3/house, attributed to immigration). These results demonstrate sustained impact of LOs on dengue vector population densities in housing conditions of Brazilian municipalities.

It is based on spatial simulation analysis and fuzzy logic. The method is demonstrated in a restoration allocation problem within a military training area in Texas. Fuzzy logic is integrated with spatial analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to make land condition assessment geographically specific. Two sources of uncertainty in Land Condition Analysis are considered in this paper. First is the uncertainty due to incomplete information on land condition. Second is the uncertainty emanating from identifying the condition of a particular parcel of land. The first is addressed by using sequential Gaussian simulation, a geostatistical tool. Erosion status is selected as the land condition factor, and uncertainty associated with it is considered in this study. Land allocation is based on fuzzy logic to reflect the continuous transition between different land conditions and the minimization of loss that is expected to occur in the case of misallocation. Various forms of loss functions are used for allocating areas in need of restoration. An important result of the study is a map showing the areas allocated for restoration. The proposed method is compared to two alternative methods with varying degrees of determinism and uncertainty. The incorporation of uncertainty led to better allocation strategies and results that are more realistic.

This study assessed sexual interests, needs related to sexuality, and intimacy issues in severely impaired, late stage HD patients through use of structured interviews. Results of interviews of a small population of HD patients residing in a long-term care facility are provided; interviews focused on sexuality issues, patients' perceptions of their intimate and sexual relationships, and their interest in discussing sexuality concerns with staff. Almost half of the patient population displayed an interest in discussing sexuality issues. Interview results indicated the need for caregivers to recognize that patients are sexual beings, with sexual needs, fantasies and wishes. HD patients have the potential to develop feelings of attraction, which must be dealt with in a clear, careful, sensitive manner. Suggestions are offered for ways in which caregiving staff could compensate for the sexual losses, including: providing a private room for a married patient to have intimate time with a spouse; offering sexually-oriented videos or reading materials if the individual wants them; providing romance novels and films; considering the possibility of providing a patient with a means to stimulate himself or herself.

Codes written using MPI are extremely portable and are applicable to both clusters and massively parallel computing platforms. Since MPI uses the single program, multiple data (SPMD) approach to parallelism, good performance requires careful tuning of the serial code as well as careful data and control flow analysis to limit communication. We discuss optimization strategies used and their degree of success to increase performance of an MPI-based unstructured finite element simulation code written in Fortran 90. We discuss performance results based on implementations using several modern massively parallel computing platforms including the SGI Origin 3800, IBM Nighthawk 2 SMP, and Cray T3E-1200.

On the one hand, it is difficult to speak meaningfully about information assurance without some understanding of the technical aspects of information networks. On the other, if only technical aspects are covered students will not be prepared to address the economic, political, and even ethical issues associated with policy in this area. This paper discusses the efforts of two educators with backgrounds in computer science and political science to create a course to address this educational need. The course uses a variety of techniques to integrate the issues essential to thinking about strategy and security in cyberspace. In a society growing ever more dependent on information technologies, competence in this area will become increasingly important and a valuable component of an undergraduate education.

T1 - Regulation of 1-α, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on Interleukin-6 and Interleukin-8 Induced by Sulfur Mustard (HD) on Human Skin Cells *. JO - Pharmacology & Toxicology JF - Pharmacology & Toxicology Y1 - 2003/05// VL - 92 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 204 EP - 213 PB - Wiley-Blackwell SN - 09019928 AB - The regulatory effects of the active form of vitamin D, 1-α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 ) were assessed on the cytokine and chemokine secretion induced by sulfur mustard on human skin fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes. Stimulation of human skin fibroblasts with sulfur mustard (10 -4 M for 24 hr at 37°) resulted in approximately a 5 times increase in the secretion of interleukin-6 and over a 10 times increase for interleukin-8, which was inhibited by 1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 , at ≤10 -9 M. 1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 also suppressed interleukin-8 secretion by 5 times and interleukin-6 by 4 times on sulfur mustard-stimulated human epidermal keratinocytes at concentrations ≤ 10 -9 M. The effect of 1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 was dose-dependent for the suppression of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 induced by sulfur mustard on human skin fibroblasts/human epidermal keratinocytes, apparent at nanomolar concentrations. Our results indicate that the suppression of these inflammatory mediators by 1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 is dependent on the source of the primary cultures, cell densities, and kinetics of pretreatments. In contrast to the inhibition of cytokine/chemokine production, cell proliferation was enhanced by almost 1.7 times on treated human epidermal keratinocytes with 1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 (1×10 -9 M) after sulfur mustard-stimulation (10 -4 M for 24 hr at 37°C). The observed enhancement diversified based on cell density, and kinetics of pretreatment with a maximal synergism (s) observed at 1×10 -9 M. Photomicrographs show typical signs of cellular degeneration caused by sulfur mustard such as chromatin condensation. The observed cellular degeneration was lessened when human epidermal keratinocytes were treated with 1-α, 25 (OH) 2 D3 (2×10 -9 M). 1-α, 25(OH) 2 D3 could be an alternative treatment for cutaneous inflammation disorders caused by sulfur mustard because we have demonstrated its ability to suppress inflammatory mediators and enhanced cell proliferation in human skin cells stimulated with sulfur mustard.

Epidemiologic data from the Department of Defense Automated Central Tumor Registry were merged with data from patients’ medical records and responses of the patients or their families to a mailed survey. The cases of 907 women grouped by race—white, African American, and Hispanic—were analyzed. Breast carcinoma diagnosed by mammographic screening showed a reversed ratio of early to late stage of cancer occurring for all three groups. That ratio was 1.45 for African Americans, 2.67 for Hispanics, and 3.08 for whites. For those women diagnosed with screening mammography, no statistically significant difference in 5-year survival was found between the races: 86% for whites, 83% for Hispanics, and 80% for African Americans. Mammographic screening as a diagnostic tool appears to equalize survival among whites, Hispanics, and African Americans, in spite of differences in age, stage of diagnosis, and military rank used as a proxy for socioeconomic status. When not controlling for mammographic diagnosis, Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed significant differences in survival patterns between whites, Hispanics, and African Americans. Five-year survival rates were 71% for whites, 74% for Hispanics, and 53% for African Americans. Screening mammography reduced 5-year mortality by almost 59% in African Americans, 52% in whites, and 36% in Hispanics. Whites were diagnosed with breast carcinoma, on average, at 57 years of age—11 years later than African Americans (average age 46 years) and 7 years later than Hispanic women (average age 50 years). As a diagnostic tool, screening mammography was used to discover breast cancer in 36% of white women, 33% of Hispanics, and 22% of African Americans. Further research is recommended to examine the use of mammography among various racial/ethnic...

One hundred and eighty-four officers, representing 7 different geographical locations, were placed in blind test groups to discern the effect of a "good" and "bad" DA Photo in a mock military promotion board. The significant finding was that a DA Photo judged to be good by a panel of Army Personnel Command Officers did not predict an increase or decrease in a promotion board score; however, a DA Photo judged to be bad by the same panel of officers can be a predictor of a decrease in overall promotion board score.

SN - 00920606 AB - The terahertz frequency absorption spectra of DNA molecules reflect low-frequency internal helical vibrations involving rigidly bound subgroups that are connected by the weakest bonds, including the hydrogen bonds of the DNA base pairs, and/or non-bonded interactions. Although numerous difficulties make the direct identification of terahertz phonon modes in biological materials very challenging, our research has shown that such measurements are both possible and fruitful. Spectra of different DNA samples reveal a large number of modes and a reasonable level of sequence-specific uniqueness. In an attempt to show that the long wavelength absorption features are intrinsic properties of biological materials determined by phonon modes, a normal mode analysis has been used to predict the absorption spectra of polynucleotide RNA Poly[G]-Poly[C]. Direct comparison demonstrated a correlation between calculated and experimentally observed spectra of the RNA polymers, thus confirming that the fundamental physical nature of the observed resonance structure is caused by the internal vibration modes in the macromolecules. In this work we demonstrate results from Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of DNA macromolecules and related biological materials in the terahertz frequency range. Careful attention was paid to the possibility of interference or etalon effects in the samples, and phenomena were clearly differentiated from the actual phonon modes. In addition, we studied the dependence of transmission spectra of aligned DNA and polynucleotide film samples on molecule orientation relative to the electromagnetic field, showing the expected change in mode strength as a function of sample orientation. Further, the absorption characteristics were extracted from the transmission data using the interference spectroscopy technique, and a strong anisotropy of terahertz characteristics was demonstrated.

The collapse of authority structures in postmodern society has had visible effects on military organization in the country. A comprehensive research of public opinion finds that confidence in major institutions is in a pattern of decline that raises questions about the legitimacy of major social and political order. The research shows that people are now defining themselves, and their enemies, by their race, gender, ethnicity, or some other social characteristic.

Although all these taxa fit the broad definition of Microcoleus vaginatus (Vaucher) Gomont in common usage by soil algal researchers, sequence data for the 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region indicated that more than one species was represented. Combined sequence and morphological data revealed the presence of two morphologically similar taxa, M. vaginatus and Microcoleus steenstrupii Boye-Petersen. The rRNA operons of these taxa were sufficiently dissimilar that we suspect the two taxa belong in separate genera. The M. vaginatus clade was most similar to published sequences from Trichodesmium and Arthrospira. When 16S sequences from the isolates we identified as M. steenstrupii were compared with published sequences, our strains grouped with M. chthonoplastes (Mertens) Zanardini ex Gomont and may have closest relatives among several genera in the Phormidiaceae. Organization within the 16S–23S ITS regions was variable between the two taxa. Microcoleus vaginatus had either two tRNA genes (tRNAIle and tRNAAla ) or a fragment of the tRNAIle gene in its ITS regions, whereas M. steenstrupii had rRNA operons with either the tRNAIle gene or no tRNA genes in its ITS regions. Microcoleus vaginatus showed no subspecific variation within the combined morphological and molecular characterizations, with 16S similarities ranging from 97.1% to 99.9%. Microcoleus steenstrupii showed considerable genetic variability, with 16S similarities ranging from 91.5% to 99.4%. In phylogenetic analyses, we found that this variability was not congruent with geography, and we suspect that our M. steenstrupii strains represent several cryptic species.

Data on predictors of officer worry and parent contacts were collected from 277 senior ranking male officers (40 to 49 years old). A structural equation model of worry and parent contact among male officers showed that previous parental illness, parent's age, and the tendency among officers to have an angry temperament increased their worry. Conversely, number of siblings and satisfaction with a "parent care plan" decreased worry about parents. Number of siblings also decreased contact with parents. Quality of interpersonal relationships and branch of service (Army and Marine Corps) increased contacts with parents. This research underscores the importance of examining the invisible "anguish" of adult sons who are precluded from visiting their parents by distance or employment situations, lends quantitative support to previous qualitative findings, and indicates that satisfaction with a realistic parent care plan reduces worries about elderly parents.

Common defensive efforts include the following: omissions (blanks, incomplete responses), denial (negation), redundant responses (tautologies), flippant responses, responses about the test, and simple associations. These responses are reliably coded using exemplar ratings. Sentence completion test (SCT) verbal defensiveness is largely independent of verbal ability. Participants higher in verbal defensiveness are judged by psychologists as lower in suitability for high demand military missions and by peers as less desirable coworkers in a high stress military mission. SCT verbal defensiveness is higher among personnel who fail to complete an operational assessment and selection program. Two dimensions underlie common defensive efforts: inhibition and resistance. Neither factor is very extensively related to the "Big Five" personality dimensions.

This study, which examines a large cohort of U.S. Military Academy cadets over time, tests the influence of cognitive and personality variables on military leadership performance over a 4-year period. Hierarchical multiple regression procedures are used to identify factors at entry into the Academy that successfully predict military development grades as upperclassmen, 3 to 4 years later. A moderately stable cross-validated model reveals cognitive factors (college entrance scores, social judgment skills, and logical reasoning) and personality factors (agreeableness and conscientiousness) that contribute to later leader performance. A main effect for gender on leader performance was also identified, with women performing better than men. The amount of variance in leader performance scores accounted for by variables examined here, although modest, is notable considering the time interval involved. Nevertheless, future studies should explore additional factors, particularly personality ones, that may influence leader performance in developing leaders.

More recent research in this area has been the exception, not the rule. This is especially true for rotary-wing aircrew training research. Currently, the U.S. Army does not use simulation in the primary (contact) phase of initial entry rotary-wing (IERW) training. Research performed by the Army Research Institute showed that a combination of synthetic flight simulation and criterion-based training during the primary phase of IERW had the potential for saving training time and costs in the aircraft. This research was performed using a low-cost simulator based upon the UH-1 helicopter. In the 4 quasi-experiments reported, positive transfer effectiveness ratios (TERs) were observed for most flight maneuvers pretrained in the simulator; student pilots in the simulator group required fewer iterations than control participants to reach proficiency on most flight maneuvers in the UH-1 training aircraft. As the visual display and flight modeling systems were upgraded, greater TERs were observed, and differences among groups tended to become significant.

In the decade of 1990, the relationship between society and the armed forces changed in Germany. This change not came in a gradual progressive fashion, but rather swiftly and suddenly. Germany experienced it's regained sovereignty with reunification. The German and Japanese societies were important in the postmodern process of suppressing national goals in favor of international ones. And most of the Germans still do not know the words of their national anthem.

This literature directs our attention toward organizational contexts and the timing of publication as promising factors bearing on cumulative scholarship outcomes. In this inquiry; based on 2,910 persons who received doctorates in sociology between 1972 and 1976, we isolate the importance of organizational context to explain the emergent and cumulative sex differences in publication outcomes. Our findings reveal that existing scholarship differences between males and females in this cohort occur within the first six years of the doctorate and continue throughout the career as a result of different employment patterns and publication trajectories. Notably, we find support for Robert Merton's contention that context structures the display of individual merit.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of phosgene inhalation on respiratory dynamics over 12 h. CD-1 male mice, 25-30 g, were exposed to 32 mg/m[sup 3] (8 ppm) phosgene for 20 min (640 mg min/m[sup 3]) followed by a 5-min air washout. A similar group of mice was exposed to room air for 25 min. After exposure, conscious mice were placed unrestrained in a whole-body plethysmograph to determine breathing frequency (f), inspiration (Ti) and expiration (Te) times, tidal volume (TV), minute ventilation (MV), end inspiratory pause (EIP), end expiratory (EEP) pause, peak inspiratory flows (PIF), peak expiratory flows (PEF), and a measure of bronchoconstriction (Penh). All parameters were evaluated every 15 min for 12 h. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein concentration and lung wet/dry weight ratios (W/D) were also determined at 1, 4, 8, and 12 h. A treatment × time repeated-measures two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences between air and phosgene for EEP, EIP, PEF, PIF, TV, and MV, p ≤ .05, across 12 h. Phosgene-exposed mice had a significantly longer mean Ti, p ≤ .05, compared with air-exposed mice over time. Mice exposed to phosgene showed marked increases (approximately double) in Penh across all time points, beginning at 5 h, when compared with air-exposed mice, p ≤ .05. BALF protein, an indicator of air/blood barrier integrity, and W/D were significantly higher, 10- to 12-fold, in phosgene-exposed than in air-exposed mice 4-12 h after exposure, p ≤ .001 and p ≤ .05, respectively. These results indicate that exposure to phosgene causes early bronchoconstriction, a temporal obstructivelike injury pattern, and disruption of mechanical rhythm largely regulated by the progressive production of pulmonary edema on airway flow. Potential therapeutic intervention may include compounds that produce bronchodilation and mechanical ventilation support if warranted.

The development of remediation and risk management strategies requires an understanding of the environmental fate and transport processes affecting TNT, RDX, and HMX. The transformation and soil sorption are key process descriptors that must be quantified to effectively evaluate the environmental fate of these contaminants in aquifer soils and groundwater. The objective of this laboratory study was to determine the effects of changing composition of simulated groundwater on TNT, RDX, and HMX adsorption in low carbon aquifer soils. Batch shake tests using homo-ionic aquifer soils and clay minerals were used to determine the effects of cation composition on sorption. Results of batch shake tests showed that simulated groundwater cation composition substantially affected the sorption of TNT in aquifer soils. Saturation of the cation exchange sites with K[sup+] and NH[sub4][sup+] resulted in increased TNT sorption to the aquifer soils by up to 9780%. TNT adsorption by biionic K[sup+]:Ca[sup++] aquifer soil increased until 40% saturation of the exchange sites was attained. Past this point, pronounced increases in adsorption were not observed until 100% saturation with K[sup+] was reached. Changing the cation substitution on aquifer soils by saturation with either K[sup+] or NH[sub4][sup+] did not consistently increase the adsorption of RDX and HMX. TNT shows great potential for treatment using cation substitution, while this is not the case for nitramines.

S. Army sites. Some of these sites are slated for return to public use after remediation. Potential hazards associated with use of these sites for vegetable gardening after remediation to low-level residual contamination are a special concern. The objective of this study was to quantify plant uptake of explosives from contaminated soil and irrigation water. Greenhouse studies were conducted with corn, tomato, lettuce, and radish to determine uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from contaminated soil and uptake of RDX from contaminated irrigation water. A mass balance study of tomato, lettuce, and radish was conducted in chambers using carbon-14 labeled RDX. All crops accumulated RDX from soils contaminated at 5.8 mg kg[sup-1], a remediation goal based on a site-specific risk assessment. All edible plant tissues accumulated RDX from soil except corn kernels. TNT was detected only in corn stover. At 100 μ L[sup-1] RDX in irrigation water, accumulation of RDX by plants was undetectable. These results suggest that human health hazards from ingestion of vegetables growing in soils contaminated with low levels of RDX be carefully considered in plans for future use of remediated sites.

SN - 00068314 AB - The role of sea spray in transferring heat and moisture across the air-sea interface has remained elusive. Some studies have reported that sea spray does not affect the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes for 10-m wind speeds up to at least 25 m s-1, while others have reported important spray contributions for wind speeds as low as 12 m s-1. One goal of the HEXOS (Humidity Exchange over the Sea) program was to quantify spray's contribution to the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes, but original analyses of the HEXOS flux data found the spray signal to be too small to be reliably identified amid the scatter in the data. We look at the HEXOS data again in the context of the TOGA-COARE bulk flux algorithm and a sophisticated microphysical spray model. This combination of quality data and state-of-the-art modelling reveals a distinct spray signature in virtually all HEXOS turbulent heat flux data collected in winds of 15 m s-1 and higher. Spray effects are most evident in the latent heat flux data, where spray contributes roughly 10% of the total turbulent flux in winds of 10 m s-1 and between 10 and 40% in winds of 15–18 m s-1. The spray contribution to the total sensible heat flux is also at least 10% in winds above 15 m s-1. These results lead to a new, unified parameterization for the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes that should be especially useful in high winds because it acknowledges both the interfacial and spray routes by which the sea exchanges heat and moisture with the atmosphere.

The potential to cause large numbers of serious casualties among deployed and deploying military forces and among civilian populations provides a stark reminder to medical planners of the limits of military and civilian medicine. However, medical countermeasures to these chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been, and continue to be, developed. These CWAs, their countermeasures, and their health care implications are described in the articles of this special issue. These articles suggest likely psychological, physiological, and neurological effects that will be encountered should these agents be employed against U.S. forces on the integrated battlefield or against homeland facilities. Also suggested are countermeasures that U.S. forces and medical teams may use to protect or treat our forces or citizens undergoing such CWA attacks. Knowledge of the behavioral effects of the CWAs and of their medical countermeasures is imperative to ensure that military and civilian medical and mental health organizations can deal with possible incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. This first study, in contrast to the remaining studies in this special issue, focuses on the psychological factors in chemical warfare and terrorism. It also serves as an overview of the remaining articles in this special issue.

In addition, several of the drugs used as pharmacological countermeasures to reverse the potentially life-threatening physiological effects of nerve agents themselves have potent effects on a variety of neurobehavioral functions. This article reviews the toxicological and neurobehavioral effects of exposure to nerve agents and their medical treatment compounds, giving particular emphasis to their impacts on performance and behavior, both immediate and long-term. As such, this review touches on a number of major related topics, primarily pharmacological and toxicological. Where possible, more in-depth discussions of these topics have been cited for the interested reader. The toxicology and pharmacology of the nerve agents and the respective medical treatment drugs are addressed separately, representing distinctly different pharmacological classes of compounds and producing distinctly different effects on the central nervous system and performance. Both animal and human data have been evaluated for this review. Although animal data provide a valuable adjunct to the human reports, the majority of studies cited here describe the effects of these compounds in humans. Where it was thought necessary for clarification or elaboration, animal studies have been cited, but these represent only a small subset of this vast literature.

To overcome these disadvantages, the use of bioscavengers has emerged as a new approach to reduce the in vivo toxicity of chemical warfare nerve agents. Bioscavengers fall into two broad categories: stoichiometric (i.e., proteins that bind a poison in some fixed ratio) and catalytic (i.e., proteins that can cause the breakdown of a molecule of a poison, regenerate, and then repeat the process until all of the poison molecules have been destroyed). To be an improvement of current treatments, a biological scavenger should have no or minimal behavioral or physiological side effects, should provide protection against one or more nerve agents up to 5 times the median lethal dose (5 LD[sub 50]), and should reduce or eliminate any behavioral or physiological side effects normally associated with the currently fielded therapy. Studies with equine or human butyrylcholinesterase or fetal bovine serum acetylcholinesterase show that none of these scavengers exhibit behavioral side effects when administered to rats or monkeys. These three scavengers as well as carboxylesterase are each capable of providing protection against 2 to 16 LD[sub 50]s of GD, GB, or VX depending on the scavenger and the test species (rat, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, or rhesus monkey). When behavioral testing was performed on animals pretreated with a bioscavenger and then administered up to 5 LD[sub 50]s of GD or VX, either no, or only very minor, transient deficits were reported. These results are in stark contrast to the prolonged (1 to 2 week) behavioral incapacitation experienced by animals pretreated with pyridostigmine and then exposed to the same dose of nerve agent followed by the standard atropine, oxime therapy with or without diazepam. Although several challenges still remain before bioscavengers could augment or replace the current therapeutic regimes for nerve agent intoxication, the results to date offer impressive evidence for the value of this approach as the next generation of pharmaceuticals to afford protection against nerve agent poisoning with a virtual absence of behavioral side effects.

Their psychological impact on members of the armed forces who are, or who believe they are, at risk of exposure to agents such as mustard gas are much less understood. Therefore, better understanding of the clinical ramifications of exposure, medical assistance that can be given to mustard gas victims, and the long-term sequelae to which casualties might be subject can go a long way toward mitigating warfighter concerns.

CN is easy and inexpensive to produce and can be obtained from normal commercial trade. CN can act very rapidly (within seconds) to prevent the normal utilization of oxygen by tissues. Excitable tissues, for example, heart and brain, are particularly affected. Hypoxia, convulsions, heart arrhythmias, and death can follow. If exposed, it is best to leave the affected area rapidly. Treatments such as nitrite, which forms methemoglobin that binds CN, and thiosulfate, which converts CN to thiocyanate, act within an appropriate time but produce central nervous system side effects. This article examines the literature on the neurotoxicological and behavioral effects of CN and its treatments. Sites and mechanisms of actions involved in these effects are evaluated. Factors that significantly alter the action of CN and may influence morbidity and mortality are discussed.

SN - 01607715 AB - The association between anger, lipid profiles, and glucose levels were examined in this study of 103 middle aged, healthy women. A principal component factor analysis of Spielberger's Trait Anger and Anger Expression scales yielded two anger factors: Impulsive Anger-Out and Neurotic Anger. Impulsive anger-out significantly predicted a negative lipid profile (high total serum cholesterol (TSC), low density lipoproteins (LDL), TSC/HDL (high density lipids), and triglyceride levels) and heightened glucose levels, but only in physically unfit women. Neurotic anger did not predict lipid and glucose levels. These findings parallel previous findings regarding the two anger dimensions and CHD, with only impulsive anger-out predicting CHD. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the protective effect of physical fitness, previously documented for men, also occurs in women.

However, at the same time, for many, the VE deficiencies have reduced the effectiveness of VEs for training spatial tasks. In an effort to improve VE effectiveness, we conducted research to determine if certain unique capabilities of VEs could compensate for its deficiencies. Research participants were required to learn the layout or configuration of one floor of an office building as portrayed in a VE. To improve spatial learning, we developed three VE navigation training aids: local and global orientation cues, aerial views, and a themed environment enhanced with sights and sounds and divided into four distinct sectors. The navigation aids were provided during the training but were not available during testing of survey knowledge. Of the three training aids investigated, only the aerial views were effective in improving performance on the survey knowledge tests. The effectiveness of the navigation aids seemed to depend on how they were used during training. A retention test given one week after training indicated that spatial knowledge acquired in a VE diminished little over the one-week retention interval.

There are shortcomings with 2-D generated and projected images because they do not provide a true immersion in a 3-D environment or a feeling of total presence in a real-world situation. To overcome these limitations, more realistic virtual reality (VR) and 3-D displays and environments have been developed. The VR application to product and system design activities, allowing the viewing and review of entire systems, assemblies, and parts. They provide far more realistic 3-D displays and even a rotational capability for viewing inside, on top of, beside, or under objects in reduced, normal, or large scale-in local or networked environments. If needed, tactile response systems provide a sense of grasping, rotating, picking up, and movement. Fortunately, these enabling technologies are available at a time when public and private sector organizations are continuously seeking ways to improve productivity and effectiveness in task accomplishment. Many organizations are using a variety of first and second generation CVDEs routinely as a foundation for collaborative virtual design and product development.

SN - 00068314 AB - Applications of Kolmogorov's universal equilibrium hypothesis and the Taylor transform to velocity spectra derived from measurements within the low frequency portion of the atmospheric surface layer (ASL) inertial subrange are examined. The measured ratios of lateral to longitudinal velocity component spectra exhibit considerable scatter, but suggest convergence towards 1.0 rather than towards the 4/3 expected from theory. Shear and buoyancy introduce anisotropy to the inertial subrange, thereby contributing to the observed scatter. The apparent discrepancy between the 4/3 velocity component spectrum ratio expected from theory and the measurements could arise as a consequence of the processing used to produce spectra. These processing effects must be considered from the perspective of the propagating eddy. Spectral averaging used with sonic anemometer data is done over time periods that are large with respect to inertial subrange eddy correlation decay times. This averaging causes energy from larger scale eddies to appear as `local convection' that dominates the Taylor transform. Spectrum ratio convergence and cospectra approaching zero are necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for onset of local isotropy. Measurements of spectrum ratios and cospectra over the entire inertial subrange are needed to determine whether or not local isotropy might occur within the ASL.

The harmonics can be of the same magnitude as those produced by bottom friction and dominate those produced by nonlinear terms in the equations of motion. A closed-form analytic solution of the linearized depth-averaged equations of motion including friction is discussed for the situation of a sea breeze blowing on an idealized one-dimensional basin of constant depth. The solution reveals the generation of odd harmonics introduced by the quadratic wind stress and role of (linearized) friction. Sea-breeze forcing on the idealized basin is numerically modeled, and agreement with the analytic solution is found. The numerical model is then run with quadratic bottom friction and nonlinear terms to compare relative contributions to the generation of harmonics. Harmonics of the water motion are distinguished as forced, or arising from the wind forcing, and as response, or arising from the interactions within the water. The hydrodynamics of Baffin Bay, Texas, are modeled and spatial variation and relative strength of the harmonics investigated. Baffin Bay is a large shallow embayment with a weak connection to the Gulf of Mexico that experiences a strong southeast wind and sea breeze during the summer. The wind induces even and odd forced harmonics through the combined quasi-steady southeast wind and sea breeze. At Baffin Bay, ratios of the semidiurnal to diurnal amplitudes of water level and current speed are found to be comparable to M4/M2 ratios for U.S. Atlantic coast embayments.

Koch) fescues are widely sown to stabilize disturbed soils in the cool--humid and transition climatic zones of the USA. Our objectives were to: a) quantify changes in the allocation of dry matter and growth of tall and hard fescue, forced to grow on stored soil water in sandy soil; and b) compare dry matter allocation over time between roots and shoots to evaluate the dynamics of root-associated drought avoidance mechanisms. A randomized complete block experiment with four replications and two factors (species and stress level) was conducted in a greenhouse. The main blocks consisted of two fescue species: tall fescue and hard fescue; sub-blocks contained stress levels: well-watered and stressed. Low, medium and severe stresses were imposed by withholding water in one set of pots. The types of fescue species grown significantly affected leaf area (LA), plant height (PH), water use (WU), root length (RL), longest root (LR), root area (RA), shoot (SDB) and root dry biomass (RDB), and root : shoot ratio (R/S). Stress level affected PH, WU, LR and RL at low stress; WU, LR and RA at medium stress; LA, PH, SDB, WU, RL, LR, RA and R/S at severe stress. Tall fescue had greater LA, PH, WU, RA, RL, LR. SDB, RDB and R/S than hard fescue under all treatments. Stress reduced LA, PH, SDB, WU, RA, RL, LR and R/S. Significant correlations were obtained for LA with RL. WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; RL with WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; WU with LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; LR with PH, RA, SDB, RDB; PH with RA, SDB, RDB; RA with SDB, RDB; and SDB with RDB. In conclusion, hard fescue had a shallower root system, shorter plant canopy, slower growth, and transpired less water to make it more drought tolerant. Tall fescue, with a deeper root system, longer plant canopy, faster growth, and greater water transpiration, is less drought tolerant at medium and severe stresses. Root attributes strongly correlated with shoot attributes and can be considered for breeding programs promoting drought tolerance.

Koch) sind weit verbreitet angesäte Grasarten, mit denen gestörte Böden im kalt-humiden sowie Übergangsklimazonen der USA stabilisiert werden sollen. Unsere Ziet war es zu: a) Änderungen in der Allokation von Trockenmasse und das Wachstum von Rohr- und Schafschwingel, die in sandigen Böden mit Stauwasser zu wachsen gezwungen wurden, zu quantifizieren, b) die Trockenmasseallokation Im Zeitablauf zwischen Wurzeln und Sproß zu vergleichen und die Dynamik der auf die Wurzel bezogenen Trockenheitsvermeidungsmechanismen zu bewerten. Ein randomisiertes komplettes Blockexperiment mit vier Wiederholungen und zwei Faktoren (Arten und Streßstärke) wurde im Gewächshaus durchgeführt. Die Hauptblöcke bestanden aus den beiden Schwingelarten: Rohr- und Schafschwingel; die Unterblöcke enthielten die Streßstärken:gut bewässert und streßbewässert. Geringe, mittlere und starke Streßwirkungen wurden durch Zurückhalten der Bewässerung in den Gefäßen erzielt. Die verwendeten Schwingelarten waren signifikant beeinflußt hinsichtlich der Blattfläche (LA), der Pflanzenhöhe (PH), der Wassernutzung (WU), der Wurzellänge (RL), der längsten Wurzel (LR), der Wurzeloberfläche (RA), der Sproß-(SDB) und der Wurzel-Trockenbiomasse (RDB) sowie des Wurzel:Sproß-Verhältnisses (R/S). Die Streßstärke beeinflußte PH, WU, LR sowie RL bei niedrigem Streß; WU, LR und RA bei mittlerem Streß; LA, PH, SDB, WU, RL, LR, RA und R/S bei starkem Streß. Rohrschwingel hatte eine größere LA, PH, WU, RA, RL, LR, SDB, RDB und R/S als Schafschwingel unter allen Behandlungen. Streß reduzierte LA, PH, SDB, WU, RA, RL, LR und R/S. Signifikante Korrelationen wurden beobachtet für LA mit RL, WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für RL mit WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für WU mit LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; LR mit PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für PH mit RA, SDB, RDB; für LA mit SDB, RDB und SDB mit RDB. Als Ergebnis kann darauf hingewiesen werden, daß Schafschwingel ein flacheres Wurzelsystem, geringere Pflanzenbestandeshöhe, geringeres Wachstum und eine reduzierte Transpiration als Voraussetzung für Trockenheitstoleranz aufwies. Rohrschwingel mit einem tiefer reichenden Wurzetsystem, höherer Pflanzenbestandeshöhe, schnellerem Wachstum und höherer Transpiration ist dagegen bei mittlerem und schwerem Streß weniger dürretolerant. Die Wurzeleigenschaften waren straff korreliert mit den Sproßeigenschaften und können für Zuchtprogramme zur Verbesserung der Dürretoleranz berücksichtigt werden.

SN - 00462772 AB - A collective information sampling model and observations of discussion content suggest that decision-making groups often fail to disseminate unshared information. This paper examines the role that a fully-informed minority may play in facilitating the sampling and consideration of unshared information. University students read a mystery and then met in four-person groups to discuss the case. When critical clues were unshared among three members before discussion, a fully informed fourth member (informed minority) promoted the discussion of these critical clues when participants thought the mystery had a demonstrably correct answer (solve set) but not when they thought the clue may have been insufficient to solve definitively the case (judge set). None the less, under both solve and judge sets, the informed minority increased the likelihood that the group would identify the correct suspect. Social combination, information sampling, and minority influence interpretations of the results are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Slippery slope arguments come in one of two main forms. The logical or conceptual form asserts that the practices and policies in question are members of the same class. The second form of the slippery slope argument is the causal or empirical form. Here the claim is that allowing the practice in question will cause society, as an institution or as individuals, to engage in morally unacceptable practices. Arguments concerning the moral permissibility of fetal tissue transplants are examples of this type. Somewhat analogously, the slippery slope arguer often conflates goal rational as opposed to value rational policies. The distinction here is between instrumental rationality and expressions of value or axiology. All too often the slippery slope argument represents a reluctance or failure to see the moral, social, and economic cost of the status quo. It is a failure to recognize that resisting change and doing nothing is itself a tragic choice. In the final analysis, though, slippery slope arguments are mostly bad arguments. Regardless of their form and their context, they tend to close off debate and often mask the tragic choices society is presently making in the service of maintaining the status quo.

SN - 00068314 AB - A series of tracer experiments studying the statistical properties of concentration fluctuations in clouds dispersing in the atmospheric surface layer is described and analyzed. Experiments were conducted at downwind fetches between about 200 and 1200 m, under a wide range of atmospheric conditions ranging from very unstable to moderately stable stratification. The present experiments have addressed basic requirements not met by past field experiments involving instantaneously released clouds; namely, the experiments provided repeat realizations of instantaneously released clouds measured with high-resolution concentration detectors, accompanied by the contemporaneous acquisition of high-quality meteorological and turbulence measurements. Extensive analyses are performed on the cloud concentration data in the framework of relative diffusion. Ensembles of cloud concentration realizations have been constructed. From these ensembles, crosswind and time profiles of the ensemble-mean concentration, concentration variance, ensemble-mean dosage, and dosage variance are obtained. The behaviour of the time profiles of the integral time scale of cloud concentration fluctuations is studied. The use of surface-layer similarity theory for the analysis of the downwind variation of a number of cloud quantities (e.g., cloud size and duration, cloud centre ensemble-mean concentration and dosage, cloud centre concentration and dosage variance, cloud centre integral time scale) is shown to be an effective basis for ordering these quantities. Furthermore, a number of approximate universal relationships describing the behavior of these cloud quantities has been derived. Finally, it is shown that the scaled crosswind and time profiles of ensemble-mean concentration and concentration variance as well as the scaled time profiles of the concentration fluctuation integral time scale exhibit self-similar forms that are independent of atmospheric stratification and downwind fetch.

Although the Sevilleta is broad and level, its metre-scale heterogeneity could therefore violate an assumption on which Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) relies. To test the applicability of MOST in such a setting, we measured the standard deviations of vertical (σ_w) and longitudinal velocity (σ_u), temperature (σ_t), and humidity (σ_q), the temperature-humidity covariance (tq), and the temperature skewness (S_t). Dividing the former five quantities by the appropriate flux scales (u_*, _*, and q_*) yielded the nondimensional statistics σ_w/u_*, σ_u/u_*, σ_t/|t_*|, σ_q/|q_*|, and tq/t_*q_*. σ_w/u_*, σ_t/|t_*|, and S_t have magnitudes and variations with stability similar to those reported in the literature and, thus, seem to obey MOST. Though σ_u/u_* is often presumed not to obey MOST, our σ_u/u_* data also agree with MOST scaling arguments. While σ_q/|q_*| has the same dependence on stability as σ_t/|t_*|, its magnitude is 28% larger. When we ignore tq/t_*q_* values measured during sunrise and sunset transitions – when MOST is not expected to apply – this statistic has essentially the same magnitude and stability dependence as (σ_t/t_*)^2. In a flow that truly obeys MOST, (σ_t/t_*)^2, (σ_q/q_*)^2, and tq/t_*q_* should all have the same functional form. That (σ_q/q_*)^2 differs from the other two suggests that the Sevilleta has an interesting surface not compatible with MOST. The sources of humidity reflect the patchiness while, despite the patchiness, the sources of heat seem uniformly distributed.

SN - 00068314 AB - From a set of turbulence data collected with a three-axis sonic anemometer/thermometer and described in a companion paper, we simulate the eddy-accumulation process for sensible heat and momentum fluxes. The resulting eddy-accumulation coefficient for momentum clearly depends on surface-layer stability; at neutral stability, its value is 0.63. On supplementing the scalar eddy-accumulation coefficients that we derive from our sensible heat flux data with values of sensible and latent heat flux coefficients reported by Businger and Oncley, we also find that scalar eddy-accumulation coefficients depend on stability, though more weakly than does the momentum coefficient. The coefficients for sensible and latent heat show no significant difference; we, thus, fit them with one function of stability whose value is 0.52 for neutral stratification.

SN - 00068314 AB - A three-dimensional model for correlation functions and spectra in the atmospheric, convective boundary layer (CBL) is presented. The model includes vertical inhomogeneities introduced by eddy-blocking at the ground. By assuming the disturbance to the turbulent flow resulting from the ground blocking is irrotational, an equation is developed which allows one to write the inhomogeneous, two-dimensional (2D) cross spectra for the blocked flow in terms of the 2D cross spectra for a homogeneous flow. Von Kármán‘s energy spectrum then is used to determine the homogeneous, 2D cross spectra. Although there are only two adjustable parameters in the model, the variance and a length scale, the model is shown to agree quite well with a diversity of previous results for the CBL.

Indolicidin was preferentially attractedto the model prokaryotic cell membrane in contrast to the weak adsorptionon the eukaryotic membrane. The nature of the indolicidin surfaceadsorption depended on an electrostatic guiding component, an attractiveenthalpic component derived from van der Waals interactions, and abalance between entropic factors related to peptide confinement atthe interface and counterion release from the bilayer surface. Thus,whereas we attributed the specificity of the indolicidin/membraneinteraction to electrostatics, these interactions were not the solecontributors to the free energy of adsorption. Instead, a balancebetween an attractive van der Waals enthalpic component and a repulsiveentropic component determined the overall strength of indolicidinadsorption.

By incorporating a test of humoral response into controlled reproductive and developmental studies, more comprehensive results can be gathered to assess the potential for disease. The foreign red blood cells (RBC) challenge is a minimally invasive method for evaluating humoral responses to a foreign antigen. Typically, antibody response is assessed following injections of sheep erythrocytes; however, Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are only minimally sensitive to sheep RBC. In the present study, adult Japanese quail were treated with 5% solutions of RBC from goose, goat, cow, donkey, or pig in primary and secondary challenges. After each treatment, plasma samples were taken and antibody responses were measured for total immunoglobulins (Ig), IgG, and IgM. Overall, goose RBC generated the poorest responses in both primary and secondary challenges, while the strongest antibody responses were to pig and donkey RBC. Therefore, pig RBC appear to be a superior antigen for testing humoral response in Japanese quail.

The effect of coadsorbed water on the hydrolyticactivity of these materials toward VX, GD, and HD was assessed toselect the most promising candidate for study in self-decontaminatingpaints and coatings. The best candidate is nTiO2, primarilychosen for its extremely short VX half-life at quite high water-content.For the most part, imbedding nTiO2into various coatingsnegatively impacts its reactivity. A notable exception is observedfor the case of HD and nTiO2/Wax (a paint simulant), wherea somewhat shorter half-life is observed compared to the nascent nTiO2powder. However, encrusting a painted surface with nTiO2powder, leaving it partly exposed rather than wholly imbedded,results in improved reactivity.

The argument first posits a distinction between cosmopolitan and patriotic configurations of the soldier’s obligations. David Petraeus’s counterinsurgency guidance typifies the former; Matthew Moten’s configuration of the professional military ethic typifies the latter. Second, Hannah Arendt’s distinction between Work and Action instructs that one does not “build” a polity; political foundations are fugitive and unpredictable. Third, considering Arendt’s theory and current missions, the soldier as a political agent cannot produce stability or build a nation with instrumental certitude; however, the soldier can foster conditions and intervene in ways to nudge circumstances toward a better state of affairs. Finally, military professionals should cultivate a cosmopolitan attitude informed by William Connolly’s ethos of engagement to help them fulfill their obligations to the other.

The morphological, thermal and nanomechanical properties of the composite sub-micron fibers were investigated. The CNCs derived from wood pulp by sulfuric acid hydrolysis were well dispersed in solutions of PMMA and the processing solvent N,N-dimethylformamide prior to fiber formation. Well-formed fibers with controllable diameters were generated reproducibly at all CNC contents investigated including 41wt%. The orientation of the CNCs along the fiber axis was facilitated by the electrospinning process and observed directly from microscopy examination. Shifts in thermal transitions of PMMA with increasing CNC content suggest hydrogen bonding interactions between CNC hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups on the PMMA matrix. Nanoscale dynamic mechanical analysis (nano-DMA) was performed using nanoindentation on single fibers perpendicular to the fiber axis. Many of the current challenges associated with single fiber nanoindentation are addressed, such as fiber diameter range and minimum, depth to diameter ratio, and valid depth range under these experimental conditions. Fibers that contained 17wt% CNCs showed a modest increase of 17% in the storage modulus of PMMA, a high modulus polymer of interest for transparent composite applications.

The majority of the soldiers had medical comorbidities, especially chronic pain (75.0%), in addition to mental health problems. Several of the soldiers were recovering from trauma (20.8%) and/or surgery (23.3%), 11.7% exhibited traumatic brain injuries, and 17.5% had headaches. Disrupted relationships (74.2%) were notable for non-family members, especially military cohorts such as other persons in the same WTC squad or platoon. Conclusion: The observations in this report come from a cross-section of soldiers who were triaged to meet WTC admission criteria. As this is the prototype VA-U.S. Army telepsychiatry collaboration, there are no comparative data at this time. The nature of the medical and psychiatric problems treated in the military WTC represents an index of the more severe combat trauma treated on military bases from ongoing combat operations and may predict future VA-U.S. Army collaborative telepsychiatry clinic experiences.

T1 - Protective Effect of Two Recombinant Ricin Subunit Vaccines in the New Zealand White Rabbit Subjected to a Lethal Aerosolized Ricin Challenge: Survival, Immunological Response, and Histopathological Findings. JO - Toxicological Sciences JF - Toxicological Sciences Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 126 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 83 SN - 10966080 AB - Editor's Hightlight: Ricin is a highly toxic agent that could be utilized as a bioterrorism weapon. This study tested the efficacy of two different recombinant ricin subunit vaccines to protect against ricin administered via inhalation exposure. Both vaccines were found to be effective in preventing the lethal effects of ricin exposure. This study supports the potential use of ricin vaccines in human populations at risk of ricin exposure.Ricin, isolated from the castor bean plant Ricinus communis, is included on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category B list of bioterrorism agents, indicating that the toxin is moderately easy to disseminate and could result in moderate morbidity rates. This study evaluated two promising recombinant ricin subunit vaccines, one made using an Escherichia coli codon–optimized gene and the other using a yeast codon–optimized gene in E. coli-based fermentations. Rabbits were vaccinated four times over a period of 6 months and challenged with ∼10 to 30 times the median lethal dose of aerosolized ricin. All unvaccinated control rabbits were either found dead or humanely euthanized within 30 h postchallenge, while the rabbits vaccinated with either vaccine survived the exposure without adverse clinical signs. When the protective antibody responses were analyzed, no significant difference was seen between the two vaccines. However, there was a significant difference in the immune response over time for both vaccines tested. Although clinical pathology was unremarkable, significant histological lesions in the control animals included fibrinonecrotic pneumonia, acute necrotizing lesions in the upper respiratory tract, and necrotizing lymphadenitis in the lymph nodes draining the upper and lower respiratory tract. Vaccine-treated rabbits exhibited resolving lesions associated with ricin exposure, namely chronic inflammation in the upper respiratory tract and lungs, fibrosis, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia, and bronchiolitis obliterans. This study confirmed the safety and efficacy of two recombinant ricin subunit vaccines in rabbits, offering potential protection to warfighters and select populations.

However, the mechanisms which fuel resilience are relatively unexplored This study explored the hypothesis that perceived psychological resilience mediates the relationship between various sport- related psychological skills and indicators of PTSD. The sample was 351 Stryker Brigade soldiers who had at least one previous combat deployment. Results showed that perceived psychological resilience fully mediates the relationship between three sport-related psychological skill factors and indicators of PTSD. These results suggest that sport-related psychological skills may play a role in the development of perceived psychological resilience, which in turn, influences PTSD.

JO - Journal of the American Academy of Audiology JF - Journal of the American Academy of Audiology Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 182 EP - 191 SN - 10500545 AB - Background: Listening to music is one of the most common forms of recreational noise exposure. Previous investigators have demonstrated that maximum output levels from headphones can exceed safe levels. Although preferred listening levels (PLL) in quiet environments may be at acceptable levels, the addition of background noise will add to the overall noise exposure of a listener. Use of listening devices that block out some of the background noise would potentially allow listeners to select lower PLLs for their music. Although one solution is in-the-ear earphones, an alternative solution is the use of earmuffs in conjunction with earbuds. Purpose: There were two objectives to this experiment. The first was to determine if an alternative to in-the- ear earphones for noise attenuation (the addition of earmuffs to earbuds) would allow for lower PLLs through a portable media player (PMP) than earbuds. The second was to determine if a surrounding background noise would yield different PLLs than a directional noise source. Research Design: This was an experimental study. Study Sample: Twenty-four adults with normal hearing. Data Collection and Analysis: PLLs were measured for three earphone configurations in three listening conditions. The earphone configurations included earbuds, canal earphones, and earbuds in combination with hearing protection devices (HPDs). The listening conditions included quiet, noise from one loudspeaker, and noise from four surrounding loudspeakers. Participants listened in each noise and earphone combination for as long as they needed to determine their PLL for that condition. Once the participant determined their PLL, investigators made a 5 sec recording of the music through a probe tube microphone. The average PLLs in each noise and earphone combination were used as the dependent variable. Ear canal level PLLs were converted to free-field equivalents to compare to noise exposure standards and previously published data. Results: The average PLL as measured in the ear canal was 74 dBA in the quiet conditions and 84 dBA in the noise conditions. Paired comparisons of the PLL in the presence of background noise for each pair of earphone configurations indicated significant differences for each comparison. An inverse relationship was observed between attenuation and PLL whereby the greater the attenuation, the lower the PLL. A comparison of the single noise source condition versus the surrounding noise condition did not result in a significant effect. Conclusion: The present work suggests that earphones that take advantage of noise attenuation can reduce the level at which listeners set music in the presence of background noise. An alternative to in-the-ear earphones for noise attenuation is the addition of earmuffs to earbuds.

However, most algorithms treat pathways as sets of genes, disregarding any inter- and intra-pathway connectivity information, and do not provide insights beyond identifying lists of pathways. Results: We developed an algorithm (PathNet) that utilizes the connectivity information in canonical pathway descriptions to help identify study-relevant pathways and characterize non-obvious dependencies and connections among pathways using gene expression data. PathNet considers both the differential expression of genes and their pathway neighbors to strengthen the evidence that a pathway is implicated in the biological conditions characterizing the experiment. As an adjunct to this analysis, PathNet uses the connectivity of the differentially expressed genes among all pathways to score pathway contextual associations and statistically identify biological relations among pathways. In this study, we used PathNet to identify biologically relevant results in two Alzheimer's disease microarray datasets, and compared its performance with existing methods. Importantly, PathNet identified de-regulation of the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway as an important component in Alzheimer's disease progression, despite the absence of this pathway in the standard enrichment analyses. Conclusions: PathNet is a novel method for identifying enrichment and association between canonical pathways in the context of gene expression data. It takes into account topological information present in pathways to reveal biological information.

In a previous study (Yokota et al. Eur J Appl Physiol 104:297-302, 2008), the effects of anthropometric variability on predicted physiological responses to heat stress in U.S. Army male soldiers were evaluated. Five somatotypes were identified in U.S. Army male multivariate anthropometric distribution. The simulated heat responses, using a thermoregulatory model, were different between somatotypes. The present study further extends this line of research to female soldiers. Anthropometric somatotypes were identified using multivariate analysis [height, weight, percent body fat (%BF)] and the predicted physiological responses to simulated exercise and heat stress using a thermoregulatory model were evaluated. The simulated conditions included walking at ~3 mph (4.8 km/h) for 300 min and wearing battle dress uniform and body armor in a 30°C, 25% relative humidity (RH) environment without solar radiation. Five major somatotypes (tall-fat, tall-lean, average, short-lean, and short-fat), identified through multivariate analysis of anthropometric distributions, showed different tolerance levels to simulated heat stress: lean women were predicted to maintain their core temperatures (T) lower than short-fat or tall-fat women. The measured T of female subjects obtained from two heat studies (data1: 30°C, 32% RH, protective garments, ~225 w·m walk for 90 min; data2: 32°C, 75% RH, hot weather battle dress uniform, ~378 ± 32 w·m for 30 min walk/30 min rest cycles for 120 min) were utilized for validation. Validation results agreed with the findings in this study: fat subjects tended to have higher core temperatures than medium individuals (data2) and lean subjects maintained lower core temperatures than medium subjects (data1).

T1 - INTERSTATE WATER COMPACT VERSION 3.0: MISSOURI RIVER BASIN COMPACT DRAFTERS SHOULD CONSIDER AN INTER-SOVEREIGN APPROACH TO ACCOMMODATE FEDERAL AND TRIBAL INTERESTS IN WATER RESOURCES. JO - North Dakota Law Review JF - North Dakota Law Review Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 88 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 97 EP - 138 SN - 00292745 AB - In the aftermath of the historic 2011 Missouri River flood, Missouri River Basin (MRB) state representatives and governors criticize the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for operating the Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System (System) in support of the multiple, often conflicting, purposes outlined in the Flood Control Act of 1944. These officials envision entering into an interstate compact to divest the Corps of some of its operational authority and to broaden their role in managing water resources. Similarly, MRB tribal leaders argue that the Corps fails to operate its System in a manner that respects the interrelated issues of Indian reserved water rights and tribal sovereignty. As States and Tribes contemplate a rebalancing of power in the MRB, it is essential that any water resources management solution provide a forum in which affected States, Tribes, and the Federal government might work together in pursuit of interconnected interests. Accordingly, it is time for stakeholders to think beyond the dualistic "federal-interstate" compact arrangement and seriously consider a pluralistic "federal-interstate-tribal" approach - even if Indian reserved water rights are not yet quantified. Although such a tripartite approach is a departure from traditional compacting practice, the great weight of Indian reserved water rights warrants tribal representation on any commission charged with implementing a twenty-first century MRB water resources compact. Further, it would be unrealistic to expect a federal commissioner to represent tribal interests until such time as rights are quantified, given the Federal government's conflict of interest in operating the System for other consumptive users. This Article concludes that the Federal government's interests in flood protection, navigation, and national security, and the Tribes' interests in protecting reserved water rights and tribal sovereignty, warrant an inter-sovereign approach whereby power is shared equally among signatories to this compact.

T1 - Neuroprotective effects of imidazenil against chemical warfare nerve agent soman toxicity in guinea pigs JO - NeuroToxicology JF - NeuroToxicology Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 33 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 169 EP - 177 SN - 0161813X AB - Abstract: The chemical warfare nerve agent, soman irreversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) leading to hypercholinergy and seizures which trigger glutamate toxicity and status epilepticus ultimately resulting in neuropathology and neurobehavioral deficits. The standard emergency treatment comprising of anticholinergic, AChE reactivator and anticonvulsant does not completely protect against soman toxicity. We have evaluated imidazenil, a new anticonvulsant imidazo benzodiazepine with high affinity and intrinsic efficacy at α5-, α2-, and α3- but low intrinsic efficacy at α1-containing GABAA receptors and is devoid of cardiorespiratory depression, sedative/hypnoitc and amnestic actions and does not elicit tolerance and dependence liabilities unlike diazepam, for protection against soman toxicity. Guinea pigs implanted with bipotential radiotelemetry probes for recording EEG and ECG were administered with 26μg/kg pyridostigmine bromide 30min prior to 2× LD50 soman exposure and 1min later treated with a combination of 2mg/kg atropine sulfate and 25mg/kg 2-pralidoxime and various doses of imidazenil. Intramuscular administration of imidazenil, dose-dependently protected against 2× LD50 of soman toxicity up to 1mg/kg. Further increase in the dose of imidazenil to 2.5mg/kg was less effective than 1mg/kg probably due to non-specific actions at sites other than GABAA receptors. Compared to vehicle group, 1mg/kg imidazenil treatment showed optimal increase in survival rate, reduction in behavioral manifestations and high power of EEG spectrum as well as neuronal necrosis. These data suggest that imidazenil is an effective anticonvulsant for medical countermeasure against soman-induced toxicity.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2012/03//Mar/Apr2012 VL - 18 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 338 EP - 354 SN - 10807039 AB - The consideration of multiple or cumulative sources of exposure to a chemical is important for adequately protecting human health. This assessment demonstrates one way to consider multiple or cumulative sources through the development of a relative source contribution (RSC) factor for the explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), using the Exposure Decision Tree approach (subtraction method) recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The RSC factor is used to ensure that the concentration of a chemical allowed by a regulatory criterion or multiple criteria, when combined with other identified sources of exposure common to the population of concern, will not result in unacceptable exposures. An exposure model was used to identify relevant potential sources for receptors. Potential exposure pathways include ingestion of soil, water, contaminated local crops and fish, and dermal contact with soil and water. These pathways are applicable only to areas that are in close proximity to current or former military bases where RDX may have been released into the environment. Given the physical/chemical properties and the available environmental occurrence data on RDX, there are adequate data to support a chemical-specific RSC factor for RDX of 50% for drinking water ingestion.

Online measures can reveal cognitive processing masked in post-processing measures. In the study, participants verified spatial descriptions by moving the mouse to a YES or NO button. Mouse tracking software (Freeman & Ambady, 2010) recorded mouse trajectories. Results demonstrated action-compatibility effects (ACE), differing as a function of spatial knowledge development. For well-developed spatial knowledge, the ACE reflected the physical spatial relationship (e.g. response button on right, but building to the left). In terms of temporal dynamics, this effect occurred later in the response. For less-developed knowledge, the spatial term drove the ACE (e.g., response button on right, but description used term left). In this case, the ACE was immediate and continuous. As would be consistent with learning, ACEs were observed more probably with proximal than distant locations. From these results, we infer that perceptuo-motor associations build with time and experience and can play an integral role in retrieval from well-developed spatial representations.

The ncAl phase formed through cryomilling of inert gas-atomized powders in liquid nitrogen has an average grain size down to 21nm, exhibits excellent thermal stability. However, substantial grain growth of ncAl up to 63nm was observed when the Al MMCs were thermo-mechanically processed even at relatively low temperatures. Grain growth of the cryomilled ncAl phase in trimodal Al MMCs after hot forging was documented with respect to temperature ranging from 175°C to 287°C, true strain ranging from 0.4 to 1.35 and strain rate ranging from 0.1 to 0.5s−1. Hollow cone dark field imaging technique was employed to provide statistically confident measurements of ncAl grain size that ranged from 21 to 63nm. An increase in forging temperature and an increase in true strain were correlated with an increase in grain size of ncAl. Results were correlated to devise a phenomenological grain growth model for forging that takes strain, strain rate and temperature into consideration. Activation energy for the grain growth during thermo-mechanical hot-forging was determined to be 35kJ/mol, approximately a quarter of activation energy for bulk diffusion of Al and a half of activation energy for static recrystallization.

Many of the necessary interventions to restore or restructure natural ecosystems require the exclusion of a population from the ecosystem or the inclusion of a population if robust biodiversity is the objective. The problem of how best to bring this about is not easy to solve in highly nonlinear systems, especially if the system is exposed to significant time varying external forces. We wish here to build on the understanding gained from previous work by developing an algebraic methodology that yields explicit formulae to analyse the effect of moderate multi-component forcing on the invasion/exclusion process. This can be of assistance to management in designing suitable intervention strategies if one or more of the forcing components is under management control. We apply this methodology to look at three important issues, involving the relationships between resonance and control, between vaccination policy and the stage structure of a disease and between apparent competition and coexistence.

Organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA) was spontaneously and largely entrapped in functionalized mesoporous silica (FMS) due to the dominant electrostatic interaction. The OPAA–FMS composite exhibited a burst release in a pH 9.0 NaHCO3–Na2CO3 buffer system and a gradual release in pH 7.4 simulated body fluid. The binding of OPAA to NH2–FMS can result in less tyrosinyl and tryptophanyl exposure OPAA molecules to aqueous environment. The bound OPAA in FMS displayed lower activity than the free OPAA in solution prior to the enzyme entrapment. However, the released enzyme maintained the native conformational structure and the same high enzymatic activity as that prior to the enzyme entrapment. The in vitro results in the rabbit serum demonstrate that both OPAA–FMS and the released OPAA may be used as a medical countermeasure against the organophosphorus nerve agents.

T1 - Metabolic activation of sulfur mustard leads to oxygen free radical formation JO - Free Radical Biology & Medicine JF - Free Radical Biology & Medicine Y1 - 2012/02/15/ VL - 52 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 811 EP - 817 SN - 08915849 AB - Abstract: We recently published electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping results that demonstrated the enzymatic reduction of sulfur mustard sulfonium ions to carbon-based free radicals using an in vitro system containing sulfur mustard, cytochrome P450 reductase, NADPH, and the spin trap α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (4-POBN) in buffer (A.A. Brimfield et al., 2009, Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 234:128–134). Carbon-based radicals have been shown to reduce molecular oxygen to form superoxide and, subsequently, peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals. In some cases, such as with the herbicide paraquat, a cyclic redox system results, leading to magnified oxygen free radical concentration and sustained tissue damage. Low mustard carbon radical concentrations recorded by EPR in our in vitro system, despite a robust (4.0mM) sulfur mustard starting concentration, led us to believe a similar oxygen reduction and redox cycling process might be involved with sulfur mustard. A comparison of the rate of mustard radical–POBN adduct formation in our in vitro system by EPR at atmospheric and reduced oxygen levels indicated a sixfold increase in 4-POBN adduct formation (0.5 to 3.0μM) at the reduced oxygen concentration. That result suggested competition between oxygen and POBN for the available carbon-based mustard radicals. In parallel experiments we found that the oxygen radical-specific spin trap 5-tert-butoxycarbonyl-5-methylpyrroline-N-oxide (BMPO) detected peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals directly when it was used in place of POBN in the in vitro system. Presumably these radicals originated from O2 reduced by carbon-based mustard radicals. We also showed that reactive oxygen species (ROS)–BMPO EPR signals were reduced or eliminated when mustard carbon radical production was impeded by systematically removing system components, indicating that carbon radicals were a necessary precursor to ROS production. ROS EPR signals were completely eliminated when superoxide dismutase and catalase were included in the complete in vitro enzymatic system, providing additional proof of oxygen radical participation. The redox cycling hypothesis was supported by density functional theory calculations and frontier molecular orbital analysis.

To examine our concept, we assemble and characterize Li/Li2S9 liquid cells by using a porous carbon electrode as the current collector and a 0.25m Li2S9 solution as the catholyte. Results show that Li/Li2S9 liquid cells are superior to conventional Li/S cells in specific capacity and capacity retention. We also find that use of LiNO3 as a co-salt in the Li2S9 catholyte significantly increases the cell''s Coulombic efficiency. More importantly, the cells with LiNO3 have a ∼2.5V voltage plateau before the end of charging and demonstrate a steep voltage rise at the end of charging. The former is indicative of the formation of elemental sulfur from soluble lithium polysulfides on the carbon electrode, and the latter provides a distinct signal for full charging. Electrochemical analyses on Li plating and stripping in Li2S9 catholyte solutions indicate that LiNO3 participates in the formation of a highly protective passivation film on the Li metal surface, which effectively prevents the Li anode from chemical reaction with polysulfide anions in the electrolyte and meanwhile prevents polysulfide anions from electrochemical reduction on the Li surface.

In an effort to reproduce these events, wind and tidally driven hydrodynamics are simulated from the deep ocean into the St. Johns and Nassau Rivers using a shallow water equations model. Calibration adjusts spatially distributed Manning’s roughness based on modeled-observed discharge. For validation, the model captures the regular tidal fluctuation as well as the hydrodynamic responses of the storm event in mid-May at the six water level gaging stations. At the flow gaging station, the model captures the ebb tendency of the tide as well as a strong perturbation (flood pulse) that occurs because of the storm event in mid-May.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2012/02/14/ VL - 51 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1199 EP - 1212 SN - 00062960 AB - γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a two-substrate enzyme that plays a central role in glutathione metabolism and is a potential target for drug design. GGT catalyzes the cleavage of γ-glutamyl donor substrates and the transfer of the γ-glutamyl moiety to an amine of an acceptor substrate or water. Although structures of bacterial GGT have revealed details of the protein-ligand interactions at the donor site, the acceptor substrate site is relatively undefined. The recent identification of a species-specific acceptor site inhibitor, OU749, suggests that these inhibitors may be less toxic than glutamine analogues. Here we investigated the donor and acceptor substrate preferences of Bacillus anthracis GGT (CapD) and applied computational approaches in combination with kinetics to probe the structural basis of the enzyme's substrate and inhibitor binding specificities and compare them with human GGT. Site-directed mutagenesis studies showed that the R432A and R520S variants exhibited 6- and 95-fold decreases in hydrolase activity, respectively, and that their activity was not stimulated by the addition of the l-Cys acceptor substrate, suggesting an additional role in acceptor binding and/or catalysis of transpeptidation. Rat GGT (and presumably HuGGT) has strict stereospecificity for l-amino acid acceptor substrates, while CapD can utilize both l- and d-acceptor substrates comparably. Modeling and kinetic analysis suggest that R520 and R432 allow two alternate acceptor substrate binding modes for l- and d-acceptors. R432 is conserved in Francisella tularensis, Yersinia pestis, Burkholderia mallei, Helicobacter pylori and Escherichia coli, but not in human GGT. Docking and MD simulations point toward key residues that contribute to inhibitor and acceptor substrate binding, providing a guide to designing novel and specific GGT inhibitors.

This may be achieved by combining different analytical approaches such as risk analysis (RA), life cycle analysis (LCA), multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), and economic valuation methods. We propose the use of stochastic MCDA based on outranking algorithms to implement integrative sustainability strategies for sediment management. In this paper we use the method to select the best sediment management alternatives for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan (PCDD/F) contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway. In the analysis, the benefits of health risk reductions and socio-economic benefits from removing seafood health advisories are evaluated against the detriments of remedial costs and life cycle environmental impacts. A value-plural based weighing of criteria is compared to criteria weights mimicking traditional cost-effectiveness (CEA) and cost-benefit (CBA) analyses. Capping highly contaminated areas in the inner or outer fjord is identified as the most preferable remediation alternative under all criteria schemes and the results are confirmed by a probabilistic sensitivity analysis. The proposed methodology can serve as a flexible framework for future decision support and can be a step toward more sustainable decision making for contaminated sediment management. It may be applicable to the broader field of ecosystem restoration for trade-off analysis between ecosystem services and restoration costs.

Using isotope enriched MMHg as tracers, bioavailability was determined by comparing the rate of MMHg uptake by novel DGT devices and sentinel organism over time. Experiments were conducted under varying conditions of salinity and MMHg speciation. Depending on MMHg level and speciation in the dissolved phase, MMHg uptake rates by the sentinel organism varied greatly from 0.4 to 2.4Lg−1 d−1. Reproducibilities of MMHg uptakes by DGT and clams were estimated at 7 and 38%, respectively. A significant linear relationship (log basis) between MMHg accumulation by DGT and clams was observed (r2 =0.89). The study demonstrates that DGT results reasonably predict MMHg uptake by clams from the aqueous phase and provide the basis for application of the DGT device as a surrogate for sentinel organism for monitoring bioavailable MMHg.

This review looks at the calculation of the “fixation probability” – the probability of a mutant taking over a population and focuses on game-theoretic applications. We look at varying topics such as alternate evolutionary dynamics, time to fixation, special topological cases, and game theoretic results. Throughout the review, we examine several interesting open problems that warrant further research.

JO - Journal of Animal Science JF - Journal of Animal Science Y1 - 2012/02// VL - 90 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 649 EP - 656 SN - 00218812 AB - This study was designed to investigate the effects of weaning age on specific components of the adaptive immune system in pigs. Twenty-three crossbred pigs were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: weaning at 14 (14D, n = 8), 21 (21D, n = 7), or 28 (28D, n = 8) d of age. Peripheral blood samples, obtained when pigs were 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, 29, and 35 d of age, were analyzed for peripheral blood cell percentages and concentrations of neutrophils, lymphocytes, T cell subsets, mature B cells, and plasma cortisol concentrations. For each of the 3 groups, weaning increased plasma cortisol concentrations (P < 0.001) and reduced BW percentage change (P < 0.017). Lymphocyte concentrations displayed a treatment effect for the 14D (P = 0.074) and 28D (P = 0.014) groups. Albeit inconsistent, lymphocyte concentrations were less in weaned pigs on the day after weaning than in pigs remaining on the sow or weaned at a younger age. Specifically, mature B cells (CD21+) and CD4+CD8+ cells decreased (P < 0.05) after weaning at 28 d of age. Other differences occurred among treatments; however, the differences apparently were not associated with weaning. Based upon the immunological measures used in the present study, there was not an explicit benefit to the adaptive immune system for any weaning age. Early weaning did not negatively affect the adaptive immunological competence of pigs as determined by changes in populations of immune cells.

Of the military-related variables considered, a few showed relationships to suicide. Rather, the primary variables associated with suicide were soldier background characteristics, including age (17-24 years), race (White), and gender (male). Cluster analysis revealed two distinct suicide groups: 'careerists' (about one third of all suicides) and 'first-termers' (about two thirds of all suicides), each group exhibiting different concurrent behavioral problems.

T1 - Geophysical investigations of geology and structure at the Martis Creek Dam, Truckee, California JO - Journal of Applied Geophysics JF - Journal of Applied Geophysics Y1 - 2012/02// VL - 77 M3 - Article SP - 7 EP - 20 SN - 09269851 AB - Abstract: A recent evaluation of Martis Creek Dam highlighted the potential for dam failure due to either seepage or an earthquake on nearby faults. In 1972, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed this earthen dam, located within the Truckee Basin to the north of Lake Tahoe, CA for water storage and flood control. Past attempts to raise the level of the Martis Creek Reservoir to its design level have been aborted due to seepage at locations downstream, along the west dam abutment, and at the base of the spillway. In response to these concerns, the U.S. Geological Survey has undertaken a comprehensive suite of geophysical investigations aimed at understanding the interplay between geologic structure, seepage patterns, and reservoir and groundwater levels. This paper concerns the geologic structure surrounding Martis Creek Dam and emphasizes the importance of a regional-scale understanding to the interpretation of engineering-scale geophysical data. Our studies reveal a thick package of sedimentary deposits interbedded with Plio-Pleistocene volcanic flows; both the deposits and the flows are covered by glacial outwash. Magnetic field data, seismic tomography models, and seismic reflections are used to determine the distribution and chronology of the volcanic flows. Previous estimates of depth to basement (or the thickness of the interbedded deposits) was 100m. Magnetotelluric soundings suggest that electrically resistive bedrock may be up to 2500m deep. Both the Polaris Fault, identified outside of the study area using airborne LiDAR, and the previously unnamed Martis Creek Fault, have been mapped through the dam area using ground and airborne geophysics. Finally, as determined by direct-current resistivity imaging, time-domain electromagnetic sounding, and seismic refraction, the paleotopography of the interface between the sedimentary deposits and the overlying glacial outwash plays a principal role both in controlling groundwater flow and in the distribution of the observed seepage.

These generally involve the use of highly reflective materials lining the interior of the detector, reflective materials around the PMTs, or wavelength-shifting sheets around the PMTs. Recently, the use of water-soluble wavelength-shifters has been explored to increase the measurable light yield of Cherenkov radiation in water. These wave-shifting chemicals are capable of absorbing light in the ultraviolet and re-emitting the light in a range detectable by PMTs. Using a 250L water Cherenkov detector, we have characterized the increase in light yield from three compounds in water: 4-Methylumbelliferone, Carbostyril-124, and Amino-G Salt. We report the gain in PMT response at a concentration of 1ppm as 1.88±0.02 for 4-Methylumbelliferone, stable within 0.5% over 50 days, 1.37±0.03 for Carbostyril-124, and 1.20±0.02 for Amino-G Salt. The response of 4-Methylumbelliferone was modeled, resulting in a simulated gain within 9% of the experimental gain at 1ppm concentration. Finally, we report an increase in neutron detection performance of a large-scale (3.5kL) gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detector at a 4-Methylumbelliferone concentration of 1ppm.

The three-level dc-dc converter and its varied derivatives are attractive topologies in high-voltage high-power converter applications. The protection method can not only prevent the system failure against unbalanced voltage stresses on the switches, but also provide a remedy for the system as faults occur and save the remaining components. The three-level converter is subject to voltage unbalance in certain abnormal conditions, which can result in switch overvoltage and system failure. The reasons for the unbalanced voltage stresses are fully investigated and categorized. The solutions to each abnormal condition are introduced. In addition to the voltage unbalance, the three-level converters can be protected against multiple faults by the proposed protection method through monitoring the flying capacitor voltage. Phenomena associated with each fault are thoroughly analyzed and summarized. The protection circuit is simple and can be easily implemented, while it can effectively protect the three-level converters and its derivatives, which has been verified by the experiment with a three-level parallel resonant converter.

However, knowledge gained from a particular computational technique can only provide insight at that specific scale. There has been a recent interest to develop a more cohesive effort so that results obtained from models across a particular spatial dimension can be used to extract additional insight across a larger range of length scales. This review article surveys recent progress in the modeling and simulation of SOFCs, and relates them to the relevant physical phenomena and length/time scales. We then proceed to review the various numerical techniques used, and their applicability across the length and time scales.

In this article, a thin plate of an isotropic Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic material with a thickness ϵ ≪ 1 is considered. This thickness leads to asymptotic expansions of the displacement, stress and strain tensors, and of the change in the volumetric fraction of solid bone in the bone matrix. A rate equation describing the change in the volumetric fraction with respect to time governs the remodeling process of bone deposition and reabsorption. It has linear and quadratic terms of strain tensors and thus, its own asymptotic expansion. This expansion's leading term is used in some simple numerical simulations.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among active component U.S. military personnel age 17–35 years. Individuals with first time diagnoses of type 1 diabetes between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2008 were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes. We used Poisson regression to estimate risk ratios between individual vaccine exposures and type 1 diabetes. Secondary analyses were performed controlling for receipt of multiple vaccines and available demographic variables. Results: Our study population consisted of 2,385,102 individuals followed for approximately 7,644,098 person-years of service. This included 1074 incident type 1 diabetes cases. We observed no significant increased risk of type 1 diabetes after vaccination with anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) [RR=1.00; 95% CI (0.85, 1.17)], smallpox vaccine [RR=0.84; 95% (CI 0.70, 1.01)], typhoid vaccine [RR=1.03; 95% CI (0.87, 1.22)], hepatitis B vaccine [RR=0.83; 95% CI (0.72, 0.95)], measles mumps rubella vaccine (MMR) [RR=0.71, 95% CI (0.61, 0.83)], or yellow fever vaccine [RR=0.70; 95% CI (0.59, 0.82)]. Conclusions: We did not find an increased risk of diagnosed type 1 diabetes and any of the study vaccines. We recommend that follow-up studies using medical record review to confirm case status should be considered to corroborate these findings.

T1 - Gene Expression Analysis of CL-20-Induced Reversible Neurotoxicity Reveals GABAA Receptors as Potential Targets in the Earthworm Eisenia fetida. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/01/17/ VL - 46 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1223 EP - 1232 SN - 0013936X AB - The earthworm Eisenia fetida is one of the most used species in standardized soil ecotoxicity tests. End points such as survival, growth, and reproduction are eco-toxicologically relevant but provide little mechanistic insight into toxicity pathways, especially at the molecular level. Here we apply a toxicogenomic approach to investigate the mode of action underlying the reversible neurotoxicity of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), a cyclic nitroamine explosives compound. We developed an E. fetida-specific shotgun microarray targeting 15119 unique E. fetida transcripts. Using this array we profiled gene expression in E. fetida in response to exposure to CL-20. Eighteen earthworms were exposed for 6 days to 0.2 μg/cm² of CL-20 on filter paper, half of which were allowed to recover in a clean environment for 7 days. Nine vehicle control earthworms were sacrificed at days 6 and 13, separately. Electrophysiological measurements indicated that the conduction velocity of earthworm medial giant nerve fiber decreased significantly after 6-day exposure to CL-20, but was restored after 7 days of recovery. Total RNA was isolated from the four treatment groups including 6-day control, 6-day exposed, 13-day control, and 13-day exposed (i.e., 6-day exposure followed by 7-day recovery), and was hybridized to the 15K shotgun oligo array. Statistical and bioinformatic analyses suggest that CL-20 initiated neurotoxicity by noncompetitively blocking the ligand-gated GABAA receptor ion channel, leading to altered expression of genes involved in GABAergic, cholinergic, and Agrin-MuSK pathways. In the recovery phase, expression of affected genes returned to normality, possibly as a result of autophagy and CL-20 dissociation/metabolism. This study provides significant insights into potential mechanisms of CL-20-induced neurotoxicity and the recovery of earthworms from transient neurotoxicity stress.

Oxidizing potentials of Mn oxides are determined by Mn valence states (2+, 3+, 4+). In this study, the effects of beam damage during electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the transmission electron microscope have been investigated to determine the "safe dose" of electrons. Time series analyses determined the safe dose fluence (electrons/nm²) for todorokite (106 e/nm²), acid birnessite (105), triclinic birnessite (104), randomly stacked birnessite (10³), and δ-MnO2 (<10³) at 200 kV. The results show that meaningful estimates of the mean Mn valence can be acquired by EELS if proper care is taken.

The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of GGC on GSH synthesis and oxidative stress in human endothelial cells. Main methods: We assessed oxidative stress, GSH, GSH synthetase (GSS) expression, and transcription factor DNA binding levels in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Key findings: We found significantly higher levels of PPARγ DNA binding and lower levels of GSH, GSS protein, NF-κB p65 DNA binding, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and 8-epi-PGF2α in a concentration-dependent manner, compared with the control. GSH and GSS protein levels showed a negative correlation with PPARγ DNA binding levels and positive correlation trends with NF-κB p65 DNA binding, TBARS, and 8-epi-PGF2α levels. A putative binding site for NF-κB was found at 4 227 bases upstream from the transcription start site of GSS gene, but none for PPARs. These findings suggest the involvement of NF-κB in regulation of GSS expression. Subsequent GSH synthesis might be affected by the suppression of GSS expression in tested conditions. Significance: Besides its substrate role in GSH synthesis, GGC may play a role in protection against oxidative stress by serving as an antioxidant and modulating the expression of protein(s) related to antioxidant defense. Thus, we speculate that GGC may serve as a novel intra- and intercellular therapeutic dipeptide for oxidative stress-related injuries and diseases.

This reaction was studied using a γ-Al2O3 coated foam as a catalyst, as well as a similar foam with rhodium (Rh) added. The results show that little H2 is produced when the Rh is absent, whereas selectivities as high as 62.92% were achieved (80% is the theoretical maximum) with the noble metal present. The alumina catalyst also displays no complete combustion regime for fuel lean combustion; instead, olefins, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water are the dominant products at all equivalence ratios. Additional results from catalytic partial oxidation of isobutene suggest that isobutene could be an intermediate during catalytic partial oxidation of isobutanol. With approximately 8.25 W of isobutanol, 3.61 W of H2 can be attained with the Rh catalyst for use in small power devices, such as a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The corresponding fuel-to-electricity efficiency was about 20.8%.

Whereas single-surface visualization of landscapes is now routinely used in presentation of Earth surface data, interactive 3D visualization based upon multiple elevation surfaces and cutting planes is gaining recognition as a powerful tool for analyzing landscape structure based on multiple return Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. This approach also provides valuable insights into land surface changes captured by multi-temporal elevation models. Thus, animations using 2D images and 3D views are becoming essential for communicating results of landscape monitoring and computer simulations of Earth processes. Multiple surfaces and 3D animations are also used to introduce novel concepts for visual analysis of terrain models derived from time-series of LiDAR data using multi-year core and envelope surfaces. Analysis of terrain evolution using voxel models and visualization of contour evolution using isosurfaces has potential for unique insights into geometric properties of rapidly evolving coastal landscapes. In addition to visualization on desktop computers, the coupling of GIS with new types of graphics hardware systems provides opportunities for cutting-edge applications of visualization for geomorphological research. These systems include tangible environments that facilitate intuitive 3D perception, interaction and collaboration. Application of the presented visualization techniques as supporting tools for analyses of landform evolution using airborne LiDAR data and open source geospatial software is illustrated by two case studies from North Carolina, USA.

Further, there is growing research stating that climatic and atmospheric changes attributed to climate change are already affecting species distributions and geographic ranges, requiring endangered species to be relocated. Existing reserve design models mostly focus on choosing the optimal land area given existing species distributions and have not incorporated species relocation as a criterion. This paper introduces linear integer programming formulations for the relocation of multiple populations of a species at risk to clustered conservation areas. We present a basic clustered relocation model and extend the model to minimize the distances of relocation. We apply the models to a dataset related to Gopher Tortoise (GT), a keystone species currently considered ‘at risk’, at Ft. Benning Georgia where expanding military training needs require the relocation of GTs. We present the results and discuss the trade-off between compactness and relocation considerations using an efficiency frontier.

Four days of waterborne exposure to 10 μg BPA/L caused significant vitellogenin induction in both species. However, zebrafish were less sensitive to effects on hepatic gene expression and steroid production than fathead minnow and the magnitude of vitellogenin induction was more modest (i.e., 3-fold compared to 13?000-fold in fathead minnow). The concentration-response at the ovarian transcriptome level was nonmonotonic and violated assumptions that underlie proposed methods for estimating hazard thresholds from transcriptomic results. However, the nonmonotonic profile was consistent among species and there were nominal similarities in the functions associated with the differentially expressed genes, suggesting potential activation of common pathway perturbation motifs in both species. Overall, the results provide an effective case study for considering the potential application of ecotoxicogenomics to ecological risk assessments and provide novel comparative data regarding effects of BPA in fish.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/01/03/ VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 42 EP - 50 SN - 0013936X AB - Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as complex mixtures. Here, fifteen polymerase chain reaction assays targeting Daphnia magna genes were calibrated to responses elicited in D. magna exposed for 24 h to five different doses each of the munitions constituents 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, trinitrobenzene, dinitrobenzene, or 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane. A piecewise-linear model for log-fold expression changes in gene assays was used to predict response to munitions mixtures and contaminated groundwater under the assumption that chemical effects were additive. The correlations of model predictions with actual expression changes ranged from 0.12 to 0.78 with an average of 0.5. To better understand possible mixture effects, gene expression changes from all treatments were compared using high-density microarrays. Whereas mixtures and groundwater exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the nonadditivity of chemical effects in these mixtures. These results suggest that, while gene behavior in response to chemical exposure can be partially predicted based on chemical exposure, estimation of the composition of mixtures from chemical responses is difficult without further understanding of gene behavior in mixtures. Future work will need to examine additive and nonadditive mixture effects using a much greater range of different chemical classes in order to clarify the behavior and predictability of complex mixtures.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2012/01/03/ VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 26 SN - 0013936X AB - Soil contamination near munitions plants and testing grounds is a serious environmental concern that can result in the formation of tissue chemical residue in exposed animals. Quantitative prediction of tissue residue still represents a challenging task despite long-term interest and pursuit, as tissue residue formation is the result of many dynamic processes including uptake, transformation, and assimilation. The availability of high-dimensional microarray gene expression data presents a new opportunity for computational predictive modeling of tissue residue from changes in expression profile. Here we analyzed a 240-sample data set with measurements of transcriptomic-wide gene expression and tissue residue of two chemicals, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX), in the earthworm Eisenia fetida. We applied two different computational approaches, LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) and RF (Random Forest), to identify predictor genes and built predictive models. Each approach was tested alone and in combination with a prior variable selection procedure that involved the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and HOPACH (Hierarchical Ordered Partitioning And Collapsing Hybrid). Model evaluation results suggest that LASSO was the best performer of minimum complexity on the TNT data set, whereas the combined Wilcoxon-HOPACH-RF approach achieved the highest prediction accuracy on the RDX data set. Our models separately identified two small sets of ca. 30 predictor genes for RDX and TNT. We have demonstrated that both LASSO and RF are powerful tools for quantitative prediction of tissue residue. They also leave more unknown than explained, however, allowing room for improvement with other computational methods and extension to mixture contamination scenarios.

Using a subsample (N = 3057) of data from the Biannual Attitude Survey of Students (BASS), being a military academy cadet is associated with the strongest agreement for barring homosexuals from serving in the military, followed by ROTC cadets and civilians. These trends continue when controlling for respondents' sex and political affiliation—the two most significant predictors of agreeing to bar homosexuals from military service. A small reduction in agreement for barring was found among academy cadets over time.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 115 EP - 121 SN - 07307268 AB - The environmental prevalence of engineered nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticulate silver (AgNP), is expected to increase substantially. The ubiquitous use of commercial products containing AgNP may result in their release to the environment, and the potential for ecological effects is unknown. Detecting engineered nanomaterials is one of the greatest challenges in quantifying their risks. Thus, it is imperative to develop techniques capable of measuring and characterizing exposures, while dealing with the innate difficulties of nanomaterial detection in environmental samples, such as low-engineered nanomaterial concentrations, aggregation, and complex matrices. Here the authors demonstrate the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, operated in a single-particle counting mode (SP-ICP-MS), to detect and quantify AgNP. In the present study, two AgNP products were measured by SP-ICP-MS, including one of precisely manufactured size and shape, as well as a commercial AgNP-containing health food product. Serial dilutions, filtration, and acidification were applied to confirm that the method detected particles. Differentiation of dissolved and particulate silver (Ag) is a feature of the technique. Analysis of two wastewater samples demonstrated the applicability of SP-ICP-MS at nanograms per liter Ag concentrations. In this pilot study, AgNP was found at 100 to 200 ng/L in the presence of 50 to 500 ng/L dissolved Ag. The method provides the analytical capability to monitor Ag and other metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in fate, transport, stability, and toxicity studies using a commonly available laboratory instrument. Rapid throughput and element specificity are additional benefits of SP-ICP-MS as a measurement tool for metal and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles. Environ. Toxicol.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 31 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 31 SN - 07307268 AB - Ecotoxicology research is using many methods for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but the collective experience from researchers has not been documented. This paper reports the practical issues for working with ENMs and suggests nano-specific modifications to protocols. The review considers generic practical issues, as well as specific issues for aquatic tests, marine grazers, soil organisms, and bioaccumulation studies. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are adequate, but electrodes are problematic. The maintenance of exposure concentration is challenging, but can be achieved with some ENMs. The need to characterize the media during experiments is identified, but rapid analytical methods are not available to do this. The use of sonication and natural/synthetic dispersants are discussed. Nano-specific biological endpoints may be developed for a tiered monitoring scheme to diagnose ENM exposure or effect. A case study of the algal growth test highlights many small deviations in current regulatory test protocols that are allowed (shaking, lighting, mixing methods), but these should be standardized for ENMs. Invertebrate ( Daphnia) tests should account for mechanical toxicity of ENMs. Fish tests should consider semistatic exposure to minimize wastewater and animal husbandry. The inclusion of a benthic test is recommended for the base set of ecotoxicity tests with ENMs. The sensitivity of soil tests needs to be increased for ENMs and shortened for logistics reasons; improvements include using Caenorhabditis elegans, aquatic media, and metabolism endpoints in the plant growth tests. The existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed and require considerable modification, or a new test, to work for ENMs. Overall, most methodologies need some amendments, and recommendations are made to assist researchers.

Observed infrasound signals varied in amplitude and waveform complexity, indicating propagation effects that are due in part to repeated local maxima and minima in the topography on the scale of the dominant wavelengths of the observed data. Numerical simulations using an empirically derived pressure source function combining published FRE accelerometer data and historical data from Project ESSEX, a time-domain parabolic equation model that accounted for local terrain elevation through terrain-masking, and local meteorological atmospheric profiles were able to explain some but not all of the observed signal features. Specifically, the simulations matched the timing of the observed infrasound signals but underestimated the waveform amplitude observed behind terrain features, suggesting complex scattering and absorption of energy associated with variable topography influences infrasonic energy more than previously observed.

Simulations performed in Maxwell 3-D and E-Physics showed that Joule heating from current diffusing into the rails accounts for most of the temperature rise in the conductors. Temporal skin effects increase thermal dissipation significantly over what would be expected by the ohmic losses under fully diffused conditions. Based on this analysis, Joule heating is the overwhelmingly dominant source of heating in low-speed tests. As the velocity of the armature increases, Joule heating remains the dominant source of heat; however, additional mechanisms—which may include frictional heating, arcing energy, aluminum deposition, and temperature-dependent properties—are required to more satisfactorily explain the temperature profile obtained.

T1 - Development of external and neutrally buoyant acoustic transmitters for juvenile salmon turbine passage evaluation JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 113 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 94 EP - 105 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: Fish can sustain injury or mortality when they pass through hydroelectric facilities. To develop a method to monitor the passage and survival of juvenile salmonids without bias through turbines within the Federal Columbia River Power System, we developed and fabricated two designs of neutrally buoyant transmitters: Type A (sutured to the dorsal musculature of the fish anterior to the dorsal fin) and Type B (two-part design attached with wire pushed through the dorsal musculature, ventral to the dorsal fin). To determine the efficacy of the two designs under non-turbine passage-related conditions, fish had one of the tags attached and were held for 14 days to determine any potential effects of the tags on growth, survival and tissue damage. We also evaluated the attachment method by monitoring tag retention. These two neutrally buoyant tag designs were compared to nontagged individuals and those surgically implanted with current Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) transmitters and passive integrated responder (PIT) tags. In addition, two suture materials (Monocryl and Vicryl Rapide) were tested for attachment of Type A tags. When compared with non-tagged individuals, fish tagged with Type A tags did not differ significantly with respect to growth or mortality over a 14-d holding period. However, fish tagged with Type B transmitters had lower growth rates than the nontagged controls or other tag treatments. The efficacy of two designs was also compared to nontagged individuals under shear exposure. Fish were exposed to a submerged, 6.35-cm-diameter water jet at velocities ranging from 3.0 to 12.2m/s in a water flume to simulate turbine conditions within the Columbia River basin. Throughout the shear exposure study, no mortalities or tag loss were observed. There was also no significant difference in the rates of shear injury between untagged fish and fish tagged with Type A or Type B tags. When tissue damage was assessed for tagged individuals exposed to shear forces, those tagged with Type A tags showed lower rates and severity of injury when compared to Type B-tagged fish. Overall, Type A tags may be a viable tag design for juvenile Chinook salmon passing through hydropower facilities.

JO - Journal of Hydroinformatics JF - Journal of Hydroinformatics Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 14647141 AB - This paper describes an Application Programming Interface (API) for managing multi-dimensional data produced for water resource computational modeling that is being developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), in conjunction with Brigham Young University. This API, along with a corresponding data standard, is being implemented within ERDC computational models to facilitate rapid data access, enhanced data compression and data sharing, and cross-platform independence. The API and data standard are known as the extensible Model Data Format (XMDF), and version 1.3 is available for free download. This API is designed to manage geometric data associated with grids, meshes, riverine and coastal cross sections, and both static and transient array-based datasets. The inclusion of coordinate system data makes it possible to share data between models developed in different coordinate systems. XMDF is used to store the data-intensive components of a modeling study in a compressed binary format that is platform independent. It also provides a standardized file format that enhances modeling linking and data sharing between models.

T1 - Morphodynamics of an anthropogenically altered dual-inlet system: John's Pass and Blind Pass, west-central Florida, USA JO - Marine Geology JF - Marine Geology Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 291-294 M3 - Article SP - 162 EP - 175 SN - 00253227 AB - Abstract: The morphodynamics of the John''s Pass–Blind Pass dual inlet system were investigated based on hydrodynamic and morphology measurements, and numerical modeling. The co-existence of the dual inlets is realized by the dominance of mixed-energy John''s Pass in terms of tidal prism and size of the ebb delta and the artificial maintenance of the wave-dominated migratory Blind Pass. Due to the secondary role of Blind Pass, the aggressive anthropogenic activities there do not seem to have a significant influence on the morphodynamics of John''s Pass. On the other hand, the opening (in 1848) and subsequent evolution of John''s Pass had substantial influence on Blind Pass, causing it to migrate rapidly to the south. In addition, anthropogenic activities had much more influence on the morphodynamics of the secondary Blind Pass than that of the dominating John''s Pass. Results from numerical modeling provide a semi-quantitative understanding of the hydrodynamics and morphodynamics of John''s Pass and Blind Pass in association with cold front passages, which have substantial influences on inlet morphology. Two large eddies are modeled from the interactions between the southward longshore current and John''s Pass ebb and flood flow, respectively. These eddies are closely related to the morphodynamics of the channel margin linear bar and longshore transport divergence at the downdrift side. Both are key features of a mixed-energy inlet. The shallow water and wave-breaking-induced longshore current and elevated sediment suspension along the ebb delta terminal lobe provide the pathway for sediment bypassing. The morphodynamics of Blind Pass are dominated by wave forcing. The weak ebb jet is not capable of forming a sizable ebb delta and tends to be deflected by the strong longshore current, causing elevated longshore transport along the downdrift beach. The 90-degree turn of the inlet, which is common for wave-dominated migratory inlets, results in weak ebb flushing along the updrift (north) side of the inlet, and is responsible for the alongshore migration of the inlet before the artificial stabilization and sedimentation along the northern side of the inlet following stabilization.

JO - BMC Research Notes JF - BMC Research Notes Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 5 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 633 EP - 644 SN - 17560500 AB - Background: Nucleic acid aptamers have long demonstrated the capacity to bind viral envelope proteins and to inhibit the progression of pathogenic virus infections. Here we report on initial efforts to develop and screen DNA aptamers against recombinant envelope proteins or synthetic peptides and whole inactivated viruses from several virulent arboviruses including Chikungunya, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), dengue, tickborne encephalitis and West Nile viruses. We also analyzed sequence data and secondary structures for commonalities that might reveal consensus binding sites among the various aptamers. Some of the highest affinity and most specific aptamers in the down-selected libraries were demonstrated to have diagnostic utility in lateral flow chromatographic assays and in a fluorescent aptamer-magnetic bead sandwich assay. Some of the reported aptamers may also be able to bind viral envelope proteins in vivo and therefore may have antiviral potential in passive immunity or prophylactic applications. Results: Several arbovirus DNA aptamer sequences emerged multiple times in the various down selected aptamer libraries thereby suggesting some consensus sequences for binding arbovirus envelope proteins. Screening of aptamers by enzyme-linked aptamer sorbent assay (ELASA) was useful for ranking relative aptamer affinities against their cognate viral targets. Additional study of the aptamer sequences and secondary structures of top-ranked anti-arboviral aptamers suggest potential virus binding motifs exist within some of the key aptamers and are highlighted in the supplemental figures for this article. One sequence segment (ACGGGTCCGGACA) emerged 60 times in the anti-CCHF aptamer library, but nowhere else in the anti-arbovirus library and only a few other times in a larger library of aptamers known to bind bacteria and rickettsia or other targets. Diagnostic utility of some of the aptamers for arbovirus detection in lateral flow chromatographic assays and a fluorescent sandwich assay on the surface of magnetic microbeads is also demonstrated. Conclusions: This article catalogues numerous DNA aptamer sequences which can bind various important pathogenic arboviruses and have, in some cases, already demonstrated diagnostic potential. These aptamer sequences are proprietary, patent-pending, and partially characterized. Therefore, they are offered to the scientific community for potential research use in diagnostic assays, biosensor applications or for possible passive immunity and prophylaxis against pathogenic viruses.

JO - Environmental Engineering Science JF - Environmental Engineering Science Y1 - 2012/01// VL - 29 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 64 EP - 69 SN - 10928758 AB - An autonomous, wireless, in-situ sensor (AWISS) was demonstrated for the detection of Escherichia coli. A prototype battery-powered optical AWISS, consisting of a miniature spectrophotometer, monitored the changes in fluorescence intensity that occur when the E. coli-synthesized β-glucuronidase enzyme hydrolyzes the reagent's glycosidic bond, releasing fluorophores into solution. Laboratory testing with the prototype sensor showed the AWISS was capable of detecting low concentrations (<100 colony forming units [CFU]/100 mL) in less than eight hours. Higher concentrations (>5000 CFU/100 mL), indicative of a possible combined sewage discharge, could be detected in under one hour. A seven-day demonstration utilized the prototype sensor to sample and record the bacterial water quality of the St. Joseph River in South Bend, Indiana. Every six hours a new sample was drawn into a custom-designed stop-flow reaction chamber and injected with a soluble reagent. A wireless transmitter sent intensity data to a remote monitoring station. The deployment produced 19 individual sampling events, of which 15 were compared to culture methods approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Four samples were drawn in the middle of the night and not verified. Of the 15 verified samples, 13 correctly identified the presence or absence of an E. coli concentration defined as significant by the USEPA and Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) thresholds of 125 CFU/100 mL.

JO - Transactions of the ASABE JF - Transactions of the ASABE Y1 - 2012/01//Jan/Feb2012 VL - 55 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 5 EP - 13 SN - 21510032 AB - The objective of this study was to develop an instrumented, portable soil test device that can measure sinkage, shear, and frictional parameters of soil in situ. The device is composed of a cone tip (ASABE standard small cone) that will provide cone index values with depth as well as soil-metal friction when the unit is rotated. Moreover, the device consists of a conical shear vane unit to measure soil shear characteristics. Furthermore, it is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to monitor the depth at which the cone index, soil-metal friction, and soil shear characteristics measurements are obtained. The values with depth. At desired depths, the whole unit is rotated to obtain soil-metal friction and shear characteristics. Tests conducted in a Capay clay soil, which had been sieved through a 0.85 mm sieve (U.S. sieve #20) had 2.0% d.b. moisture content, revealed that the cone index values obtained using this device agreed quite well with those obtained using a commercial cone penetrometer. Failure torque and axial loading graphs obtained from the tests showed a very high coefficient of determination (r²= 0.99) between cone torque and cone index, and a lower correlation (r² = 0.53) between shear vane torque and shear vane cone index. These relationships were similar to the typical results obtained when a Cohron sheargraph is used to conduct soil tests. A second prototype was developed that was similar in design to the first prototype except that it used commercial combination torque and force. In addition to the ultrasonic depth sensor, it was equipped with an angular displacement sensor for measuring angle of rotation.

Standard linear stability theory for projectiles assumes the projectile is symmetric, both from aerodynamic and mass properties perspectives. The work reported here extends standard projectile linear theory to account for aerodynamic asymmetries caused by actuating canards. Differences between standard linear and extended linear theories reported here are highlighted. To validate the theory, time simulation of the extended linear theory and a fully nonlinear trajectory simulation are made for a representative scenario, with excellent agreement noted. The extended linear-projectile theory offers a tool to address flight stability of projectiles with aerodynamic configuration asymmetries.

While this idea of cosmopolitanism differs from Kant's one-world law, it creates situations where cosmopolitan ideas or nascent cosmopolitanism exist as a result of these multiple identities. Through connections developed from the importation of various goods, such as ceramics, ideas of taste are expanded, which provides opportunities and intensification of access to the global economy for a contested periphery. This article will combine historical and archaeological data to demonstrate the possibility of nascent cosmopolitanism within La Florida at the end of the of the first Spanish period in the 18th century.

Laguerre–Gaussian laser modes are ideal for such traps due to their phase stability. We report theoretical calculations of the Bose–Einstein condensation transition properties and thermal characteristics of neutral atoms trapped in multiply connected geometries formed by Laguerre–Gaussian (LG p l ) beams. Specifically, we consider atoms confined to the anti-node of a LG01 laser mode detuned to the red of an atomic resonance frequency, and those confined in the node of a blue-detuned LG11 beam. We compare the results of using the full potential to those approximating the potential minimum with a simple harmonic oscillator potential. We find that deviations between calculations of the full potential and the simple harmonic oscillator can be up to 3%–8% for trap parameters consistent with typical experiments.

The equilibrium core was designed in ERANOS 2.1 and verified in MCNPX 2.6.0. The design is innovative in the use of moderated and unmoderated heterogeneous MA targets in the core. Additionally the driver fuel uses a Np-Pu-U oxide to further help reduce the radiotoxicity of wastes from used nuclear fuel (UNF). The core design improves the transuranic feed rate of the burner by 27% while maintaining low assembly peak-to-average power. All of the major core design parameters are similar to the homogeneous design and the maximum clad damage for discharged fuel is expected to be less than 120dpa.

This report addresses that need by reviewing the effectiveness of vibrotactile cues in a meta-analysis of 45 studies. When added to a baseline task or to existing visual cues, vibrotactile cues enhanced task performance. When vibrotactile cues replaced visual cues; however, some effects were attenuated and others moderated by cue information complexity. To summarize such moderating effects, vibrotactile alerts are an effective replacement for visual alerts, but vibrotactile direction cues are not effective when replacing visual direction cues. This meta-analysis of vibrotactile applications underscores the benefits of vibrotactile and multimodal displays, highlights conditions in which vibrotactile cues are particularly effective, and identifies areas in need of further investigation.

The C coatings on both metal current collectors are deposited by a chemical vapor deposition process using CH4 at 600°C. The capacities of the LTO electrodes above 1C rate are in the order of Al95% Mg) alloy. Possible factors leading to this high strength are discussed.

This means that for real-world data sets anticipatory elements can appear to be strongly driving the network dynamics even when there is no possibility of such an influence. Furthermore, we show that in the low-resolution limit there is no statistic that can distinguish anticipatory elements from causal ones.

Direct testing of pollutant concentrations in exhaust gases provides the best basis for assessing the extent of these risks. However, these tests (i) are often conducted under stressed, rather than typical, operating conditions, (ii) may be limited in number and duration, and (iii) may be influenced by specific fuel-types and attributes of individual kilns. We report here on the results of more than 150 emissions-tests conducted of two kilns at a Portland cement manufacturing plant in Portugal. The tests measured various regulated metals and polychlorinated dibenzo(p)dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs). Stack-gas concentrations of pollutants were found to be highly variable, with standard deviations on the order of mean values. Emission rates of many pollutants were higher when coal was used as the main kiln fuel (instead of petroleum coke). Use of various supplemental fuels, however, had little effect on stack emissions, and few statistically significant differences were observed when hazardous waste was included in the fuel mix. Significant differences in emissions for some pollutants were observed between the two kilns despite their similar designs and uses of similar fuels. All measured values were found to be within applicable regulatory limits.

Specimens were exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UV), and alternate ultraviolet radiation and condensation (UC) conditions for 5, 10, and 15 days, respectively. Compression test results showed an increase in strength and modulus with increase in strain rate and nanoclay weight percent loading. However, properties degraded upon conditioning with nanoclay infused systems showing less degradation. Scanning electron micrographs of fractured samples show better interfacial bonding in nanoclay infused composites in 2 wt. % system showing best properties.

We synthesized a bicore CuFe/C composite electrocatalyst by impregnation of iron and copper phthalocyanine-based complexes into a carbon support, followed by pyrolysis at 800–900°C in an Ar atmosphere. This novel composite catalyst exhibits electrochemical performance for ORR in 0.1M KOH similar to a commercial Pt/C (BASF Fuel Cell, 30%) catalyst at 6-fold lower CuFe loading. High resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HR-XPS) results indicate that coordination bonding between Fe and N atoms still remains and show that a mixed Cu(I)/Cu(II) valency exists in the CuFe/C catalyst after high temperature heat treatment. The Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox mediator adjacent to Fe atoms is crucial to provide electrons to the NxFe–O2 adduct and maximize the overall rate of the reduction reaction. The results of this study may offer a new approach to development of efficient catalysts for oxygen reduction to water in alkaline media.

The method involves transfecting cells with test DNA and comparing the measured antigen expression to that generated with expression from known quantities of reference material DNA. The assay was adapted for performance under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines and was successfully utilized to perform potency testing in support of a Phase I study for two hantavirus DNA vaccines delivered by gene gun. The results from the potency assays conducted over a 24-month period using this method proved to be highly reproducible with high signal-to-noise ratios. The assay was also adapted to assess the in vitro potency and stability of a DNA vaccine for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus that will be delivered by electroporation. Our results indicate that this assay can be readily applied to support potency and stability testing of numerous DNA vaccines delivered by various methods, including multiagent vaccines.

While propagating through a vegetative medium, microwave signals suffer from reflection, absorption, and scattering within vegetation, which cause signal attenuation and, consequently, deteriorate signal reception and information interpretation. A Fresnel zone enveloping the radio frequency line-of-sight is applied to segment vegetation structure occluding signal propagation. Return parameters and the spatial distribution of vegetation from the airborne LiDAR inside Fresnel zones are used to weight the laser points to estimate directional vegetation structure. A Directional Vegetation Density (DVD) model is developed through regression that links the vegetation structure to the signal attenuation at the L-band using GPS observations in a mixed forest in North Central Florida. The DVD model is compared with currently-used empirical models and obtained better R 2 values of 0.54 than the slab-based models. Finally, the model is evaluated by comparing with GPS observations of signal attenuation. An overall root mean square error of 3.51dB and a maximum absolute error of 9.38dB are found. Sophisticated classification algorithms and full-waveform LiDAR systems may significantly improve the estimation of signal attenuation.

T1 - Movements and home ranges of white-tailed deer in response to roadside fences. JO - Wildlife Society Bulletin JF - Wildlife Society Bulletin Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 282 EP - 290 SN - 00917648 AB - Although roadside fences have been proven effective at reducing deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs), information on how these fences alter deer behavior is lacking. We evaluated the effects of a traditional and a novel fencing design, constructed alongside a roadway, on movements and home ranges of white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus). From January to April 2009, we fitted 14 adult female deer with Global Positioning System collars, programmed to collect ≥24 locations/day. In June 2009 we constructed a 3.2-km fence that included a 1.6-km section of 2.4-m vertical-wire fence and a 1.6-km section of a prototype outrigger fence (i.e., 0.6 m, shade-cloth [50% opaque plastic sheeting] on a 45° outrigger angled toward the deer attached to the top of a 1.2 m, vertical-wire fence). We retrieved collars between January and March 2010. We compared home ranges, fence crossings, and fence circumventions among deer that encountered the outrigger and 2.4-m fences as well as for deer that encountered neither fence (i.e., controls), before and after fence construction. Actual crossings of the fence area were reduced, postconstruction, by 98% and 90% for the 2.4 m and outrigger treatment groups, respectively, suggesting that the fences were sufficiently effective to simulate how deer respond to roadside barriers. Deer with pretreatment home ranges that approached or encompassed the fence endings maintained a high degree of site fidelity by circumventing the endings. This study highlights the importance of incorporating information on deer behavior and resource usage into DVC-reduction strategies. If these factors are not accounted for, DVC frequency will likely stay the same, or increase, near fence endings. Thus, roadside fences should likely end at natural barriers to deer movements (i.e., heavy development) or incorporate some means of safe crossing into their endings. © 2011 The Wildlife Society.

Top-gate transistors, i.e., with a gate length of 3 \mu\m and Vds = \5\ \V, have a peak dc transconductance in excess of 20 mS/mm and a drive current of 0.5 A/mm. RF measurements achieve gigahertz extrinsic current-gain cutoff frequency with low back biasing. Back-gated devices are used to examine doping and transport effects that impact the performance. Good agreement between measurements and a drift–diffusion model is obtained for gapless graphene with a net p-type doping and asymmetric electron/hole mobility. The mean free path for scattering is extracted and reveals that the transport suffers from large levels of Coulomb scattering and short-range scattering. The results are of importance for understanding the performance potential of large-area CVD graphene in future RF devices.

We compare and contrast the general purpose BIISV model to the commonly used power-law model. We implemented the BIISV model using a radial return algorithm and tested it against previously published mantle convection simulation results for verification. Model constants for the BIISV are used based on experimental stress-strain behaviour found in the literature. After implementation we give illustrative simulation examples were the BIISV produces hardened areas on the cold thermal boundary layer that the power-law model cannot produce. The hardened boundary layers divert material downward giving a plausible reason for the current subduction zones that are present on the Earth.

Rapid, repeatable assessment techniques are needed in order to gauge the condition of these stream systems. Several attributes of these headwater streams constrain the use of the most widely used macroinvertebrate or water quality stream assessment techniques. The hydrogeomorphic (HGM) functional assessment is a reference-based alternative technique. To evaluate this alternative, repeated assessments were conducted in eight high-gradient headwaters in West Virginia by four independent teams. Across-site and measurement variance among teams was assessed using a coefficient of variation (CV, expressed as percent). A variability of >50% CV, which suggests less repeatable results, occurred in only 13.8% of measurements, primarily associated with 2 of the 9 variables examined (snag density and substrate size). Between site measurement variance was the greatest at more highly disturbed sample locations, particularly with regard to the large woody debris, tree species richness, and channel bank erosion variables. Variables with the lowest CV were tree diameter, detrital cover, canopy cover, and channel embeddedness. Based on these results, measurements included when applying HGM approach to these streams should focus on direct measurements or directed estimates that yield a large response range across a spectrum of sites while maintaining consistent repeatability among different teams, with special attention paid to their use in highly disturbed sites.

This paper reports on the experimental characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual power module that incorporates twenty 80-A SiC MOSFETs and twenty 50-A SiC junction barrier Schottky diodes. Forward and reverse conduction characteristics were measured at multiple gate voltages, current sharing was examined between the MOSFETs, and switching energies were calculated for various currents. Additionally, this module has operated in a full-bridge circuit with a peak loading of 900 A dc, a 600 Vdc bus, and a junction temperatures of 153 °C_. From the experimental data, a model of the module was created and used in a dc–ac inverter simulation study to demonstrate the possible benefits of SiC compared to Si technology. The use of an all-SiC module was shown to reduce inverter losses by 40% or more for most operating conditions. Furthermore, for similar output current levels, the all-SiC module can operate at switching frequencies four times higher than that of the Si module. This advanced dual power module demonstrates the ability to produce a high-current high-power switch using SiC technology.

Trivers's theory of parental investment and sexual selection predicts that differential parental investment by biological sex will lead to divergent sex-based reproductive instincts. The sex bearing the larger parental investment will tend to be choosier, whereas the sex bearing the lesser investment will tend to be relatively indiscriminate and competitive for access to sexual resources. We hypothesized that men are more likely than women to offer objects of value in exchange for access to sexual resources. Using self-reports of sex-purchasing from Add Health data (N = 14,544), we found that maleness was a robust predictor of john behavior even after controlling for well-known criminogenic risk factors.

This article responds to the revisionists, arguing based on archaeological, iconographic and textual evidence that the proper longbow was a weapon of extraordinary power, and was qualitatively different from – and more effective than – the shorter self-bows that were the norm in England (and western Europe generally) before the fourteenth century. It is further argued that acknowledging the importance of the weapon as a necessary element of any credible explanation of English military successes in the era of the Hundred Years War does not constitute ‘technological determinism’.

Ammonium perchlorate is one of the main constituents in Army''s new main charge melt-pour energetic, PAX-21. In addition to ammonium perchlorate, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) are the major constituents of PAX-21. In order to evaluate microbial perchlorate reduction as a practical option for the treatment of perchlorate in PAX-21 wastewater, we conducted biodegradation experiments using glucose as the primary sources of electrons and carbon. Batch experiments showed that negligible perchlorate was removed in microbial reactors containing PAX-21 wastewater while control bottles containing seed bacteria and glucose rapidly and completely removed perchlorate. These results suggested that the constituents in PAX-21 wastewater may be toxic to perchlorate reducing bacteria. A series of batch toxicity test was conducted to identify the toxic constituents in PAX-21 and DNAN was identified as the primary toxicant responsible for inhibiting the activity of perchlorate reducing bacteria. It was hypothesized that pretreatment of PAX-21 by zero-valent iron granules will transform toxic constituents in PAX-21 wastewater to non-toxic products. We observed complete reduction of DNAN to 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN) and RDX to formaldehyde in abiotic iron reduction study. After a 3-day acclimation period, perchlorate in iron-treated PAX-21 wastewater was rapidly decreased to an undetectable level in 2 days. This result demonstrated that iron treatment not only removed energetic compounds but also eliminated the toxic constituents that inhibited the subsequent microbial process.

Accumulating evidence suggests that much of the observed pathology is not the direct result of virus-induced structural damage but rather is due to the release of soluble immune mediators from EBOV-infected cells. It is therefore essential to understand how the candidate therapeutic may be interrupting the disease process and/or targeting the infectious agent. To identify genetic signatures that are correlates of protection, we used a DNA microarray-based approach to compare the host genome-wide responses of EBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) responding to candidate therapeutics. We observed that, although the overall circulating immune response was similar in the presence and absence of coagulation inhibitors, surviving NHPs clustered together. Noticeable differences in coagulation-associated genes appeared to correlate with survival, which revealed a subset of distinctly differentially expressed genes, including chemokine ligand 8 (CCL8/MCP-2), that may provide possible targets for early-stage diagnostics or future therapeutics. These analyses will assist us in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of EBOV infection and in identifying improved therapeutic strategies.

The syringe contained Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) mixed with Freund's adjuvant. Neither an approved treatment nor a postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) exists for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Following a risk-benefit assessment, it was recommended the exposed person take an experimental vaccine that had shown PEP efficacy in ZEBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) [12]. The vaccine, which had not been used previously in humans, was a live-attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (recVSV) expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV. A single dose of 5 × 107 plaque-forming units was injected 48 hours after the accident. The vaccinee developed fever 12 hours later and recVSV viremia was detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 2 days. Otherwise, the person remained healthy, and ZEBOV RNA, except for the glycoprotein gene expressed in the vaccine, was never detected in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the 3-week observation period.

Tests with currently used cell-based assays provide an indication of a compound's potential therapeutic benefits to the target tissue, but not to the whole body. Data obtained with animal models often cannot be extrapolated to humans. Multicompartment microfluidic-based devices, particularly those that are physical representations of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, may contribute to improving the drug development process. These scaled-down devices, termed micro cell culture analogs (μμCCAs) or body-on-a-chip devices, can simulate multitissue interactions under near-physiological fluid flow conditions and with realistic tissue-to-tissue size ratios. Because the device can be used with both animal and human cells, it can facilitate cross-species extrapolation. Used in conjunction with PBPK models, the devices permit an estimation of effective concentrations that can be used for studies with animal models or predict the human response. The devices also provide a means for relatively high-throughput screening of drug combinations and, when utilized with a patient's tissue sample, an opportunity for individualized medicine. Here we review efforts made toward the development of microfabricated cell culture systems and give examples that demonstrate their potential use in drug development, such as identifying synergistic drug interactions as well as simulating multiorgan metabolic interactions. In addition to their use in drug development, the devices also can be used to estimate the toxicity of chemicals as occupational hazards and environmental contaminants.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/08// VL - 30 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1852 EP - 1864 SN - 07307268 AB - We assessed the impacts of exposure to an environmentally representative concentration (0.83 mg/L) of the explosive cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) on fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) in one-year and multigenerational bioassays. In the one-year bioassay, impacts were assessed by statistical comparisons of females from breeding groups reared in control or RDX-exposure conditions. The RDX had no significant effect on gonadosomatic index or condition factor assayed at 1 d and at one, three, six, nine, and 12 months. The liver-somatic index was significantly increased versus controls only at the 12-month timepoint. RDX had no significant effect on live-prey capture rates, egg production, or fertilization. RDX caused minimal differential-transcript expression with no consistent discernable effect on gene-functional categories for either brain or liver tissues in the one-year exposure. In the multigenerational assay, the effects of acute (96 h) exposure to RDX were compared in fish reared to the F2 generation in either control or RDX-exposure conditions. Enrichment of gene functions including neuroexcitatory glutamate metabolism, sensory signaling, and neurological development were observed comparing control-reared and RDX-reared fish. Our results indicated that exposure to RDX at a concentration representing the highest levels observed in the environment (0.83 mg/L) had limited impacts on genomic, individual, and population-level endpoints in fathead minnows in a one-year exposure. However, multigenerational exposures altered transcript expression related to neural development and function [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The theory presented here describes a different perspective to the traditional accounts on the issue, namely, that motor behaviors or sequences of motor behaviors provide a means of reproducing time intervals. Evidence behind this perspective includes tapping strategies (exemplified by musicians), counting strategies, and neuropsychological results showing activation of motor areas during temporal cognitive tasks. I propose that motor behaviors aid human timing by offering a set of processes that consistently take a set amount of time to accomplish. Motor behaviors also allow segmentation of larger intervals into smaller intervals that are easier to estimate. I conclude with a discussion of implications of this perspective on temporal cognition.

The Guard's roles, responsibilities, and relationships with the states and the federal government have changed significantly since the end of the Vietnam War, from "weekend warriors" to an integral component of the national security enterprise. The paper begins by defining the Guard and its constitutional role in American national security, and then evaluates the state of the political science literature on the National Guard. It illustrates changes to the Guard using three recent cases: the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, and Hurricane Katrina. Finally, it explores potential implications of these cases and other recent events on the future role of the National Guard in American politics.

However, the degree that plasma osmolality ( P) dilutes when using the pre-hydration method and how body mass/composition might influence the results is not known. Thirty subjects (22 M, 8 F; 20 ± 2 years (mean ± SD); 1.8 ± 0.1 m; 75.8 ± 13.5 kg) had P measured after an 8-h food and fluid fast (overnight fast) and 90 min after a 500-mL (4-9 mL/kg) water bolus (pre-hydration). From pre- to post-bolus, participants' P declined from 297 ± 3.5 to 295 ± 3.8 mmol/kg ( p < 0.05; ∆ −1.7 ± 3.5 mmol/kg). One-third of the sample diluted to more than −3 mmol/kg. The effect of body mass on P dilution was investigated by comparing dilution in the ten lightest (62.8 ± 3.4 kg) and heaviest (92.0 ± 9.8 kg) participants; however, the change between the light (∆ −1.9 ± 3.8 mmol/kg) versus heavy groups (∆ −1.1 ± 3.0 mmol/kg) was not different ( p > 0.05). The correlation between body mass or total body water and change in P was weak ( p > 0.05), as was the correlation between relative fluid intake based on mass and change in P ( p > 0.05). The two methodologies appear to produce similar P values when measured in most individuals. However, the potential for significant dilution (>3 mmol/kg) should be considered when choosing the pre-hydration methodology.

Until recently, synthetic methods for production of polypyrrole (PPy) were confined to the use of chemical oxidants or electrochemical methods. Here, we report the low temperature, oxidative polymerization of pyrrole using soybean peroxidase as the catalyst in aqueous non-toxic media. In addition to the benefits of the mild synthetic conditions, enzyme catalysis also affords PPy with fewer structural defects. Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) was used as a charge-balancing dopant and dispersant for PPy to monitor changes in the absorption spectra of the polymer over time. However, the polymerization methodology is amenable to other dopants, including small molecule dopants like 10-camphor sulfonic acid. Spectroscopic characterization indicated that the PPy was conductive, and was produced in higher yields and at faster rates at lower temperatures. Careful temperature control combined with the appropriate choice of dopant ensured production of more electrically conductive PPy with conductivities that exceeded 3S/cm. UV–Vis spectroscopy was used to provide evidence of favorable interactions between pyrrole and the dopant that may have facilitated the reaction. These interactions, combined with a low synthesis temperature and controlled enzyme-catalyzed radical generation, synergistically favored the formation of PPy with fewer defects and a more linear structure.

A suitable temperature, pressure, and propane composition operating space was defined to measure intrinsic viscosities of a single fluid phase. Intrinsic viscosities of PS in cosolvent mixtures of propane and trans/cis-DHN were measured between 323 and 423 K and between 70 and 208 bar. The addition of propane to the isomeric mixture of DHN resulted in a decreased solvent quality for PS, causing a contraction of the PS coil. The most dramatic decrease in solvent quality with the addition of propane occurred at 323 K and 70 bar with approximately a 36% reduction in the viscometric radius with the addition of 45 mol % propane to DHN. At 423 K, the solvent quality was less sensitive to the addition of propane and only a 13% reduction in the viscometric radius was observed at 70 bar and 45 mol % propane in DHN. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, conditions under which bed exchange in turbulent flows collectively determines the concentration of suspended matter have been examined in the heuristic sense based on selective experimental data. It is argued that interpretation of such data can be significantly facilitated when multi-class representation of particle size, collisional interaction between suspended particles and probabilistic representations of the bed shear stress along with variables describing particle behavior (critical shear stress for deposition, bed floc shear strength) are taken into account. Aggregation—floc growth and breakup kinetics—brings about shifts in the suspended particle size distribution; bed exchange is accordingly modulated and this in turn determines concentration dynamics. Probabilistic representation of the governing variables broadens the suspended sediment size spectrum by increasing the possibilities of inter-particle interactions relative to the mean-value representation. Simple models of bed exchange, which essentially rely on single-size assumption and mean-value representation of variables, overlook the mechanistic basis underpinning particle dynamics.

Maps depicting relative change in phase and the theoretical relative change in SWE between satellite acquisitions are created for 3-day periods at the end of March 1994 using both ascending and descending ERS-1 overpasses. The theoretical coefficient relating relative change in phase and relative change in SWE for C-band is found to be at least twice as large as what is expected when using a simple single-layer snow model for this study area and time period. Without any direct measurements of SWE on the ground, station measurements of snow depth and hourly wind are linked to each 3-day relative change in phase map. Along with a qualitative assessment, quantitative measures of the rate and magnitude of phase change around these stations are directly compared to the hourly wind data for a given 3-day period. InSAR-derived maps acquired around a measured precipitation event show a considerable relationship to the predominant direction of strong winds over each 3-day period while maps acquired around no measureable precipitation depict much less correlation between phase change and predominant direction of strong winds. Despite limited ground measurements to infer snowpack conditions, these results show continued promise for the InSAR technique to measure changes in snowpack conditions (e.g. SWE) at much higher resolutions than manual sampling methods or passive microwave remote sensing. The extension of this technique to current L-band InSAR satellite platforms is also discussed.

The physical properties of the polymer were studied with regard to surface topography, crystal structure, and thermal stability. Films deposited from solution at different substrate temperatures were studied and compared to the granular form of the polymer. It was found that Tenax TA deposited from solution have a different topography compared to their granular counterpart. The films possess a complex phase composition that includes crystalline and amorphous phases. The films showed high thermal stability (400°C) similar to the granular form. The adsorption performance of the polymer compared to other possible adsorbent films such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and layer-by-layer assembled gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were also investigated. Representative volatile organic compound samples were used to compare the adsorption properties of Tenax TA films to that of the granules.

Previous studies have demonstrated that this noise can induce unwanted neuronal responses that can mask stimulus-induced responses. Similarly, activation accumulated over multiple stimuli has been demonstrated to elevate the baseline, thus reducing the dynamic range available for subsequent responses. To best evaluate responses to auditory stimuli, it is necessary to account for the presence of all recent acoustic stimulation, beginning with an understanding of the attenuating effects brought about by interaction between and among induced unwanted neuronal responses, and responses to desired auditory stimuli. This study focuses on the characterization of the duration of this temporal memory and qualitative assessment of the associated response attenuation. Two experimental parameters — inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and repetition time (TR) — were varied during an fMRI experiment in which participants were asked to passively attend to an auditory stimulus. Results present evidence of a state-dependent interaction between induced responses. As expected, attenuating effects of these interactions become less significant as TR and ISI increase and in contrast to previous work, persist up to 18s after a stimulus presentation.

JO - International Journal of Audiology JF - International Journal of Audiology Y1 - 2011/07// VL - 50 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 468 EP - 476 SN - 14992027 AB - Objective: To determine the effects of room reverberation on target sentence recognition in the presence of 0-to-3 synchronous masking sentences. Design: Target and masker sentences were presented through four loudspeakers (±±90°° and ±±45°° azimuth; 1m from the listener) in rooms having reverberation times (RT) of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 1.1 s. Study Sample: Four groups of 13 listeners each participated in the study (N == 52). Results: In rooms with RTs of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 s, mean speech recognition scores (SRSs) were similar, with scores ranging from 96--100%, 90--95%, 75--80%, and 53--60%, when 0, 1, 2, and 3 competing sentences were present, respectively. However, in the room with a RT == 1.1 s, SRSs deteriorated significantly faster as the number of competing sentences increased; mean scores were 93%, 73%, 26%, and 10%, in the 0, 1, 2, 3, competing sentence condition, respectively. The majority of errors in SRSs (98%) resulted from listeners reporting words presented in masking sentences along with those in target sentences (mixing errors). Conclusions: Results indicate that reverberation has a similar influence on SRSs measured in multi-talker environments, when room reverberation is ≤≤ 0.6 s. However, SRSs are dramatically reduced in the room with a RT == 1.1 s, even when only one competing talker is present. Sumario Objetivo: Determinar los efectos de la reverberacióón de un cuarto para el reconocimiento de oraciones blanco, en presencia sincróónica de 0--3 oraciones enmascarantes. Diseñño: Las oraciones blanco y las enmascarantes se presentaron por medio de cuatro altoparlantes (++90°° y ±±45°° azimuth; a 1m del oyente) en cuartos que teníían tiempos de reverberacióón (RT) de 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 y 1.1 seg. Muestra de estudio: Participaron en este estudio, cuatro grupos de 13 oyentes cada uno (N==52). Resultados: En cuartos con RT de 0.2, 0.4 y 0.6 seg, las puntuaciones medias de reconocimiento del habla (SRS) fueron similares, con puntuaciones que variaron de 96--100%, 90--95%, 75--80%, y 53--60%, cuando se presentaron, respectivamente, 0, 1, 2, y 3 oraciones competitivas. Sin embargo, en el cuarto con RT==1.1 seg, las SRS se deterioraron significativamente máás ráápido, conforme el núúmero de frases competitivas se incrementóó; las puntuaciones medias fueron de 93%, 73%, 26%, y 10%, en las condiciones de 0, 1, 2 y 3 oraciones competitivas, respectivamente. La mayoríía de los errores en las SRS (98%) resultaron de oyentes que reportaron palabras presentes en las oraciones enmascarantes junto con aquellas de las oraciones blanco. (mezcla de errores). Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que la reverberacióón tiene una influencia similar en las SRS, medidas en ambientes de hablantes múúltiples, cuando la reverberacióón es ≦≦0.6 sec. Sin embargo, las SRS se reducen dramááticamente en un cuarto con un RT==1.1 seg, incluso cuando solamente estáá presente un mensaje competitivo.

HTC has been mostly applied and studied on a limited number of feedstocks, ranging from pure substances to slightly more complex biomass such as wood, with an emphasis on nanostructure generation. There has been little work exploring the carbonization of complex waste streams or of utilizing HTC as a sustainable waste management technique. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the environmental implications associated with the carbonization of representative municipal waste streams (including gas and liquid products), to evaluate the physical, chemical, and thermal properties of the produced hydrochar, and to determine carbonization energetics associated with each waste stream. Results from batch carbonization experiments indicate 49-75% of the initially present carbon is retained within the char, while 20-37% and 2-11% of the carbon is transferred to the liquid- and gas-phases, respectively. The composition of the produced hydrochar suggests both dehydration and decarboxylation occur during carbonization, resulting in structures with high aromaticities. Process energetics suggest feedstock carbonization is exothermic.

Core viral functions are conserved among orthopoxviruses, and consequently Vaccinia is routinely used to study poxvirus biology and screen for novel antiviral compounds. Here we describe the development of a series of fluorescent protein-based reporter Vaccinia viruses that provide unprecedented resolution for tracking viral function. The reporter viruses are divided into two sets: (1) single reporter viruses that utilize temporally regulated early, intermediate, or late viral promoters; and (2) multi-reporter viruses that utilize multiple temporally regulated promoters. Promoter and reporter combinations were chosen that yielded high signal-to-background for stage-specific viral outputs. We provide examples for how these viruses can be used in the rapid and accurate monitoring of Vaccinia function and drug action.

JO - Wildlife Monographs JF - Wildlife Monographs Y1 - 2011/07// IS - 177 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 38 SN - 00840173 AB - Military lands are a valuable resource in recovery of threatened, endangered, and at-risk species worldwide and have the highest density of threatened and endangered species of all major land management agencies in the United States. Many red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) that reside on federal lands occur on 15 military installations in the southeastern United States. This close association has increased concern over potential conflicts between conservation requirements of endangered species and the military's mission of combat readiness. Our objectives were to 1) determine if military training operations affect behavior, reproductive success, and productivity of red-cockaded woodpeckers; 2) develop a frequency-weighting function to assess woodpecker hearing sensitivity; 3) identify factors that affect woodpecker responses to military training operations; 4) develop distance and dose-response thresholds for quantifying woodpecker responses to noise levels and stimulus distances; 5) characterize military training operations through quantification of sound levels, source identification, distance from active woodpecker nests, frequency spectra, duration, and frequency of occurrence; and 6) document baseline woodpecker nesting behavior. We conducted our study on the Fort Stewart Military Installation located in southeast Georgia, USA. Downy woodpeckers, as surrogates for red-cockaded woodpeckers, had their best hearing sensitivity within the peak range of the power spectrum of both downy and red-cockaded woodpecker vocalizations, which is at a higher frequency than that of a typical passerine. Overall, woodpeckers had a reduced auditory sensitivity relative to human hearing sensitivity and other species of small birds, especially in the frequency range >4 kHz. Woodpeckers were most sensitive in the 1.5- to 4.0-kHz range. Sensitivity appeared to drop off quickly at frequencies <1.0 kHz and >4.0 kHz. Overall, we did not find that the woodpecker-frequency-weigh ting function we developed provided a better predictor of woodpecker flush response compared with A-weighting. More research is needed to better understand the relationship between frequency-weigh ting functions and woodpecker response behavior. Potential breeding groups of woodpeckers across the population increased from 158 in 1997 to 181 in 2000, whereas nesting groups increased from 141 in 1998 to 170 in 2000, for overall increases of 14.6% and 20.6%, respectively, over the 3 years of this project. Fledging success rates for individual nests within the overall population remained consistent from 1998 to 2000, averaging 84.4%. Mean clutch sizes for woodpecker groups for 1998 to 2000 ranged from 2.75 to 3.01 eggs/nest, brood size ranged from 2.01 to 2.22 nestlings/nest, whereas the average number of young fledged ranged from 1.57 to 1.76 young/ occupied nest. We observed no difference in reproductive success or productivity between experimental and control-tested red-cockaded woodpecker groups. Overall, experimental test groups produced an average of 2.98 eggs/nest, 1.89 nestlings/nest, and 1.54 young/occupied nest from 1999 to 2000, compared with 2.73 eggs/nest, 1.91 nestlings/nest, and 1.57 young/occupied nest at control groups. We measured behavioral responses (nest attendance and arrivals and departures from the nest) of red-cockaded woodpeckers to military training events through direct and indirect (i.e., video surveillance) observation of 464.5 hours of woodpecker nesting behavior before and after controlled experimental events while recording and characterizing military-generated sound events using sound-recording equipment. We presented woodpeckers with actual 0.50-caliber blank machine gun fire and artillery simulators from controlled distances to develop distance and sound thresholds. We used video surveillance to document potential behavioral responses of woodpeckers primarily during nonexperimental military training operations in areas that could not be safely monitored and to determine baseline woodpecker nesting behaviors. We recorded 2,846 nonexperimental military noise events in 157 data sessions at 50 red-cockaded woodpecker groups from 1998 to 2000. We also recorded 206 experimental tests at 58 woodpecker groups during 1999 and 2000. Life-table analyses of flush response time showed that at short ranges (15-30 m) the flush response was stronger for artillery simulator blasts than for blank fire in both the incubation and the nestling phases. In contrast, at medium distances (45-60 m) blank fire tended to produce more flush responses than artillery fire in both incubation and nestling phases. At longer distances (>60 m), blank fire and artillery produced similar flush responses in the incubation phase, whereas flush response was stronger for blank fire than for artillery in the nestling phase. In general, most animals that responded to military activity flushed within 5 seconds of the stimulus event. Woodpeckers returned to nests within an average of 4.4 minutes after being flushed by artillery simulators and 6.3 minutes after 0.50-caliber blank-fire tests. Woodpecker flush response rates increased as stimulus distance decreased and sound levels increased, regardless of stimulus type or year. Woodpeckers did not flush from nests when 0.50-caliber blank machine gun fire and artillery simulators were >152 m away and sound-exposure levels (decibels [dB]) were <68 dBW (woodpecker-based frequency-weighting curve) and <65 dBW, respectively. We found that blast treatments reduced arrival rates of adults at the nest, with the amount of reduction dependent on the type of blast stimulus and number of helpers at the nest. On the other hand, blast treatments had no detectable effects on nest attendance. The effect of blank fire on incubation-phase arrivals over a 30-minute interval (about 40% reduction) was nearly twice that of artillery simulator fire (about a 20% reduction). There was no evidence supporting any effect of stimulus type on arrivals during the nestling phase. Blast stimuli during incubation reduced arrivals by 40% when no helpers were present, but the strength of this effect decreased to 28% when one helper was present, and was only 6% for nests with ≥2 helpers. Distance of the blast from the nest did not affect the response of arrival rates to blast treatments. Infrequent, short-duration military training exercises, as measured, did not appear to substantially impact red-cockaded woodpecker reproductive success and productivity on the Fort Stewart Military Installation. Our results may be applicable to other military installations where similar training activities and intensity levels occur. Additional research is needed to address possible habituation or sensitization of red-cockaded woodpeckers to human activities in proximity to active nest sites. Although we attempted to monitor woodpecker response to a number of military training activities, other types of military training operations or human-based activities with louder noise, longer duration, increased human presence, and greater frequency of occurrence could more negatively influence woodpecker nesting behavior and need to be investigated. Our results do not support the hypothesis that military maneuver training operations are limiting factors in the recovery of red-cockaded woodpeckers on military installations, based on our level and type of testing. Natural resource management policies on military installations have had a positive influence on the recovery of red-cockaded woodpeckers and probably outweigh the negative effects of typical military training.

Un gran porcentaje de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja (Picoides borealis) que residen en tierras federales, ocurren en quince instalaciones militares en el suroeste de EEUU. Tal estrecha asociación ha incrementado preocupaciones con los conflictos potenciales entre los requerimientos de conservación de especies en peligro de extinción y la misión militar de mantener la preparación para combate. El objetivo de esta investigación fue para 1) determinar si las operaciones de entrenamiento militar afectan a la conducta y capacidad de reproducción de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja; 2) desarrollar una función de carga de frecuencia para estimar la sensibilidad del oído de los datos de repuesta del tronco cerebral auditorio del los pájaros carpinteros peludos como especie substituto por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja; 3) identificar los factores que afectan las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a las operaciones del entrenamiento militar; 4) desarrollar umbrales de distancia y de respuesta de dosis para cuantificar las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a los niveles de ruidos y a las distancias de los estímulos; 5) caracterizar las operaciones de entrenamiento militar por la cuantificación de las niveles de sonido, identificación del origen, la distancia de los nidos activos de los pajaraos carpinteros, espectros de frecuencia, duración, y frecuencia de ocurrencia; y 6) documentar el base del la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros. Conducimos estas investigaciones en Fort Stewart, localizados en el suroeste del estado de Georgia, EEUU. Los pájaros carpinteros peludos, como sustitutos por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja, exhibieron su mejor sensibilidad del oído dentro del máximo rango del espectro de poder de ambos vocalizaciones de los pájaros carpinteros y los pájaros peludos, cual es en una frecuencia mas alta que la paseriformes típicas. En general, los pájaros carpinteros tenían una sensibilidad auditoria reducida en relación a la sensibilidad auditoria humana y a los otros especies de pájaros pequeños, especialmente in el rango mas alto de 4 kHz. Los pájaros carpinteros eran los mas sensibles en el rango de 1.5-4.0 kHz. La sensibilidad pareció caerse rápidamente alas frecuencias debajo de 1.0 kHz y masque 4.0 kHz. En general, no encontramos que la función de carga de frecuencia de los pájaros carpinteros que fue desarrollado como parte de este proyecto proveyó un mejor predictor de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza comparado con una curva de ponderación A. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para entender mejor la relación entre funciones de ponderación de frecuencia y la respuesta de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros. Medimos las reacciones de comportamiento (nido de asistencia, y llegadas y salidas del nido) de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja a los eventos de entrenamiento militar por observación directa y indirecta (es decir, video vigilancia), observación de 464.5 horas de la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros antes y después del los eventos experimentales controlados, mientras que simultáneamente grabamos y caracterizamos los eventos de ruidos originados por el militar con equipo de grabar. Los pájaros carpinteros fueron enfrentados con fuego en blanco de ametralladora de calibre 0.50 o de simuladores de artillería de distancias controladas para desarrollar los umbrales de distancia y sonido. La vigilancia video fue utilizado para documentar la reacción potencial de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros primariamente durante operaciones del entrenamiento militar no experimental en los áreas en que no se pudiera monitorizar sin peligroy para determinar un base del la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros. Grabamos 2,846 eventos no experimentales de ruidos militares durante 157 sesiones con 50 grupos de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja del año 1998 por 2000. También grabamos 206 pruebas experimentales con 58 grupos de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja durante 1999-2000. Análisis de tabla-vida de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza enseñan que a corta distancia (15-30 m), la respuesta de levantar era mas fuerte para simulador de explosiones de artillería que para fuego en blanco en ambos fases de incubación y de cría. En contraste, a las distancias medianas (45-60 m), el fuego en blanco tenia la tendencia a producir mas respuestas de levantar que fuego de artillería en ambos fases de incubación y de cría. A las distancias mas largas (>60 m), el fuego en blanco y de artillería produjeron respuestas de levantar similares en el fase de incubación, mientras que la respuesta de levantar era mas fuerte para fuego en blanco que para artillería en el fase de cría. En general, la mayor parte de los animales que respondieron a la actividad militar se levantaron dentro 5 secundas del evento de estímulo. Los pájaros carpinteros regresaron a los nidos dentro 4.4 minutos, por término medio, después de haber estado levantado de pieza por los simuladores de artillería, y 6.3 minutos después de pruebas con fuego en blanco de de ametralladora de calibre 0.50. La tasa de respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza se aumentó cuando se disminuyó la distancia del estimulo y cuando se aumentó los niveles do los sonidos, a pesar del tipo del estimulo o del año. Los pájaros carpinteros no se levantaron de la pieza cuando fuego en blanco de ametralladora de calibre 0.50 y simuladores de artillería estaban >152 m de distancia y los niveles de exposición a sonidos estaban <68 dBW (ponderación de frecuencia basada en pájaros carpinteros) y 65 dBW, respectivamente. Encontramos que los tratamientos de explosiones redujeron la tasa de los llegados de adultos a los nidos en esta investigación, y la cantidad de reducción dependía en el tipo de estimulo de fuego y el numero de los ayudantes a los nidos. Por otra parte, los tratamientos de fuego no tenían efectos detectables en asistencia en los nidos es esta investigación. El efecto del fuego en blanco en llegados durante el fase de incubación por un intervalo de 30 minutos (una reducción acerca de 40%) era casi doble lo del fuego de artillería (acerca de 20%). No habia evidencia que soportaba que cualquier tipo del estimulo afectaba llegados durante el fase de cría. Los estímulos durante incubación redujeron llegados por 40% cuando no estaban ayudantes, pero la fuerza de este efecto se disminuyó a 28% cuando estaba un ayudante, y era 6% para nidos con dos o mas ayudantes. La distancia de la explosión del nido no afectaba la respuesta de la tasa de llegados a los tratamientos del las explosiones en esta investigación. Los pájaros carpinteros peludos, como sustitutos por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja, exhibieron su mejor sensibilidad del oído dentro del máximo rango del espectro de poder de ambos vocalizaciones de los pájaros carpinteros y los pájaros peludos, cual es en una frecuencia mas alta que la paseriformes típicas. En general, los pájaros carpinteros tenían una sensibilidad auditoria reducida en relación a la sensibilidad auditoria humana y a los otros especies de pájaros pequeños, especialmente in el rango mas alto de 4 kHz. Los pájaros carpinteros eran los mas sensibles en el rango de 1.5-4.0 kHz. La sensibilidad pareció caerse rápidamente a las frecuencias debajo de 1.0 kHz y mas que 4.0 kHz. En general, no encontramos que la función de carga de frecuencia de los pájaros carpinteros que fue desarrollado como parte de este proyecto proveyó un mejor predictor de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza comparado con una curva de ponderación A. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para entender mejor la relación entre funciones de ponderación de frecuencia y la respuesta de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros. Ejercicios militares infrecuentes, y de corta duración, como medidos, no aparecían a impactar significativamente al éxito reproductivo y productividad de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja en la instalación militar de Fort Stewart. Estos resultados podría ser aplicable a otras instalaciones militares donde ocurren actividades de entrenamiento y de niveles de intensidad similares. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para abordar la posible habitación o sensibilización de los pajaraos carpinteros de cresta roja a las actividades humanas en la proximidad de sitios de nidos activos. Aunque tratamos a monitorizar las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a varios actividades de entrenamiento militar, otros tipos de operaciones de entrenamiento militar o actividades humanos mas bulliciosos y prolongados, y con aun mas presencia humana, podría influirla conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros, y debe ser investigados. Nuestros resultados no soportan el hipótesis que las maniobras de formación son factores limitantes en el recobro de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja en las instalaciones militares basados en el nivel y tipo de las pruebas. Las políticas de administración de los recursos naturales en las instalaciones militares han tenido una influencia positiva en el recobro del pájaro carpintero de cresta roja y probablemente superan los efectos negativos del entrenamiento militar que esta llevando a cabo. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Les terrains appartenant aux services militaires constituent une ressource de haute valeur dans la récupération des espèces vulnérables, menacées et en voie de disparition à travers le monde. Aux Etats-Unis, ces terrains possèdent la densité par hectare la plus importante des espèces menacées et en voie de disparition de tous les bureaux fonciers notables. Une grande proportion de pics à face blanche (Picoides borealis) résidant sur les terrains du gouvernement fédéral occupe une quinzaine d'installations militaires dans le sud-est des Etats-Unis. Cette proximité a généré de la discorde entre l'obligation de conserver les espèces en voie de disparition et le but militaire de la préparation au combat. Les buts de l'étude ici présentée étaient de 1) déterminer si les exercices d'entraînement militaire ont une influence sur le comportement et la santé reproductrice du pic à face blanche, 2) développer une courbe de déformation de la fréquence destinée à estimer la sensitivité auditive du pic selon la réponse auditive du tronc cérébral (auditory brainstem response [ABR]) du pic mineur, étant une espèce succédanée des pics à face blanche, 3) identifier les facteurs agissant sur les réponses du pic aux exercices d'entraînement militaire, 4) développer des seuils de distance et de dose-réponse afin de quantifier la réaction du pic à face blanche aux bruits et aux différentes distances des stimuli, 5) caractériser les exercices d'entraînement militaire à travers une quantification de leurs propriétés sonores, leurs sources, leur spectre d'énergie acoustique, leur durée, leur fréquence, et 6) établir le comportement de nidification basique du pic à face blanche. Cette étude a été entreprise à Fort Stewart, dans le sud-est de la Georgie aux USA. Il a été établi que la meilleure sensibilité auditive des pics mineurs, comme espèce succédanée pour les pics à face blanche, se trouve à l'intérieur du points maximaux du spectre d'énergie des vocalisations du pic mineur et du pic à face blanche, ce qui se place à une plus haute fréquence que celle d'une passerine typique. Globalement, les pics possèdent une sensibilité auditive réduite par rapport aux êtres humains et les autres espèces de petits oiseaux, surtout dans les hautes fréquences. Les pics se sont montrés le plus sensible aux bruits dans la plage de 1,5 à 4,0 kHz. Cette sensibilité semblait diminuer brusquement aux fréquences en dessous de 1,0 kHz et celles supérieures à 4,0 kHz. Dans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouvé que la fonction de déformation de la fréquence des pics élaborée comme partie de ce projet de recherches donne de meilleures prédictions de réponses de dénidification des pics que celles générées par A-weighting. Davantage de recherches sont nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la relation entre les fonctions de déformation de fréquence et le comportement de réponse du pic. Nous avons mesuré les réponses du pic à face blanche (la présence au nid aussi bien que les arrivées et les départs du nid) aux vrais incidents d'entraînement militaire à travers l'observation directe et indirecte (la vidéo surveillance) de 464.5 heures de comportement de nidification du pic pendant que l'on enregistrait et catégorisait les événements sonores issus des exercices militaires avec des équipements d'enregistrement acoustique. Les pics ont été mis en présence de vraie fusillade de mitrailleuse à calibre 0,50 et des simulateurs d'artillerie à des distances contrôlées afin de pouvoir mesurer les seuils de distance et de son. La vidéosurveillance a été employée pour enregistrer la réponse du pic aux entraînements militaires passifs dans les endroits ou l'observation directe auraient été hasardeuse et pour déterminer la ligne de fond des comportements de nidification du pic. Nous avons enregistré 2.846 événements passifs de bruit militaire lors de 157 séances de collecte de données auprès de 50 groupes de pics à face blanche de 1998 à 2000. Nous avons également enregistré 206 tests expérimentaux auprès de 58 groups de pics de 1999 à 2000. Des analyses de survie (life-table analysis) de la réponse du délai de nidification a montré que, à de petites distances (15-30 m), la réponse de nidification était plus forte pour les simulateurs d'artillerie que pour le feu des cartouches à blanc dans la phase d'incubation et d'oisillon. Pour les distances moyennes (45-60 m), en revanche, le feu des cartouches à blanc avait tendance à augmenter plus la réponse de nidification par rapport au feu d'artillerie pour dans les phases d'incubation et d'oisillon. Aux longues distances (>60 m), le feu des cartouches à blanc et les simulateurs d'artillerie ont produit des réponses de nidification comparables dans la phase d'incubation, tandis que cette réponse a été plus forte pour le feu des cartouches à blanc que pour les simulateurs d'artillerie pendant la phase d'oisillon. En général, la plupart des animaux ont quitté leur nid dans les 5 secondes qui suivaient le commencement du stimuli. Les pics ont repris leurs nids dans les 4,4 minutes suivant leur dénidification par les simulateurs d'artillerie et 6,3 minutes après les tests entrepris avec le feu des cartouches à blanc de calibre 0,50. Les taux de réponse de dénidification du pic ont augmenté au fur et à mesure que la distance du stimuli a été atténuée et les niveaux sonores ont été haussés, malgré le type de stimuli et l'année. Les pics n'ont pas déniché lorsque le feu des cartouches à blanc de calibre 0.50 et les simulateurs d'artillerie ont été placés à des distances supérieures à 152 m et quand les niveaux de contact sonore étaient <68 dBW (selon la courbe de déformation de la fréquence du pic) et <65 dBW, respectivement. Nous avons établi que les traitements d'explosion ont réduit les taux d'arrivées des adultes au nid, une réduction dépendante du type de stimuli d'explosion et le nombre d'assistants auxiliaires (les jeunes pics aidant dans le processus d'élever les nouveaux-nés) présents au nid. D'un autre côté, nous n'avons trouvé aucun effet des traitements d'explosion sur la présence au nid. L'effet du feu des cartouches à blanc sur les arrivées pendant la période d'incubation à travers des intervalles de 30 minutes (une réduction d'environ 40%) a été le double de celui de la vraie fusillade (réduction d'environ 20%). Il n'y a pas eu d'évidence soutenant un effet quelconque du type de stimuli sur les arrivées lors de la phase d'oisillon. Les stimuli d'explosion pendant l'incubation ont fait baissé les arrivées par 40% quand aucun assistant auxiliaire n'était présent, mais l'importance de cet effet descend à 28% quand un seul assistant était présent et n'était que 6% pour les nids équipés de deux assistants ou plus. La distance entre l'explosion et le nid n'a pas eu d'effet sur la réponse des taux d'arrivées aux traitements d'explosion dans cette étude. Il a été établi que la meilleure sensibilité auditive des pics mineurs, comme espèce succédanée pour les pics à face blanche, se trouve à l'intérieur du points maximaux du spectre d'énergie des vocalisations du pic mineur et du pic à face blanche, ce qui se place à une plus haute fréquence que celle d'une passerine typique. Globalement, les pics possèdent une sensibilité auditive réduite par rapport aux êtres humains et les autres espèces de petits oiseaux, surtout dans les hautes fréquences. Les pics se sont montrés le plus sensible aux bruits dans la plage de 1,5 à 4,0 kHz. Cette sensibilité semblait diminuer brusquement aux fréquences en dessous de 1,0 kHz et celles supérieures à 4,0 kHz. Dans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouvé que la fonction de déformation de la fréquence des pics élaborée comme partie de ce projet de recherches donne de meilleures prédictions de réponses de dénidification des pics que celles générées par « A-weighting ». Davantage de recherches sont nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la relation entre les fonctions de déformation de fréquence et le comportement de réponse du pic. Les exercices d'entraînement militaire peu fréquents, comme ceux mesurés ici, ne bouleversent pas particulièrement les paramètres de sante reproductrice du pic à face blanche au Fort Stewart Military Installation. Ces résultats pourraient être applicables à d'autres installations militaires où ont lieu des exercices des niveaux d'entraînement et d'intensité comparables. De plus amples recherches doivent être entreprises sur l'habituation possible ou la sensibilisation des pics à face blanche aux activités humaines en proximité aux sites actifs de nidification. Même si l'on a tenté d'observer la réponse du pic aux différentes activités d'entraînement militaire, d'autres types d'opérations d'entraînement militaire ou d'activités humaines de durée plus longue ou comportant d'avantage de présence humaine et une manifestation plus fréquente, pourraient engendrer un impact négatif sur la nidification du pic et devraient être étudiés. Ces résultats ne soutiennent nullement l'hypothèse selon laquelle les opérations d'entraînements militaires constituent des facteurs limitants dans la rétablissement des pics à face blanche sur les installations militaires selon nos niveaux et nos méthodes. Jusqu'à présent, les politiques de gestion des ressources naturelles sur les installations militaires ont eu une influence positive sur le rétablissement des pics à face blanche et elles doivent probablement l'emporter largement sur les inconvénients de l'entraînement militaire tel qu'il est actuellement entrepris.

For example, the signal from a weak yet shallow target or clutter item can overshadow that from a much larger yet deeper unexploded ordnance (UXO), potentially resulting in erroneous localization and/or identification. We propose, in this paper, a method based on the Gauss–Newton algorithm for the inversion of multiple targets within the field of view of sensors operating at EMI frequencies (tens of hertz to a few hundred kilohertz). In order to minimize the number of unknowns to invert for, the polarizability tensor is written as a time-independent orientation matrix multiplied by a time-dependent diagonal intrinsic polarizability tensor. Similarly, position is supposed to be time independent so that both position and orientation angles are inverted only once using all time channels collected by the instrument. Moreover, using the dipole approximation, we are able to compute the Jacobian in closed form for instruments with either square or circular primary field coils, thus contributing to the speed of the algorithm. Validating results are shown based on the measurement data collected with two EMI sensors on various types of UXO.

This paper creates a method to include the effect of a liquid payload in the flight dynamic equations of motion, enabling trajectory simulations of projectiles with liquid payloads. To include this effect, liquid payload moments are added to the applied loads on the projectile. These loads are computed by solving the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for a projectile undergoing coning motion. To highlight the methodology, trajectory simulation results are provided for an example projectile with different liquid payloads configurations possessing stable behavior while one exhibits catastrophic flight instability.

JO - Southeastern Archaeology JF - Southeastern Archaeology Y1 - 2011///Summer2011 VL - 30 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 20 EP - 37 SN - 0734578X AB - Despite extensive work by the University of Chicago in 1934-44, Kincaid has remained one of the least understood of the large mid-South Mississippian mound complexes. Between 2003 and 2009, large-scale magnetic gradient survey was done on 33.6 ha of the site, roughly half of the total site area and 65 percent of the larger and more accessible Massac County portion. The survey was highly successful, revealing large numbers of cultural features, including palisades, structures, pit features, and midden areas. This paper presents the preliminary results of the geophysical survey, complemented by small-scale ground-truthing excavations. Together these have significantly expanded and refined our understanding of this large prehistoric town. Kincaid is clearly much larger than once thought, both in terms of total site area and area of habitation. The site also exhibits much greater internal complexity, as evidenced by internal palisades and numerous small mounds and earthen platforms.

A portion of Ramey Field was surveyed in 2003-4 using magnetic field 8radiometry (43,600 m and electrical resistance (29,200 m²). Survey goals were to identify large-scale public or ritual architecture and to assess the usefulness of near-surface geophysical surveys in an area of deep, complex deposits. Very few typical features such as structures and pits could be identified. At least five construction episodes and a circular structure measuring 20 m in diameter were identified in Mound 36. A massive complex of resistance and magnetic anomalies overlooking Cahokia Creek may represent a previously unknown mound, constructed surface, reclaimed borrow pit, or facility associated with possible stockade entryways.

For the 0- to 5-cm depth of a corn (Zea mays L.)--soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] soil in Iowa, we extracted in sequence the light fraction, two size fractions of particulate organic matter (POM), and two NaOH-extractable humic acid fractions based on their binding to soil Ca2+: the unbound mobile humic acid fraction and the calcium humate fraction. Whole SOM was obtained by dissolving the soil mineral component through HF washes. All samples were analyzed by advanced 13CNMR techniques, including quantitative direct polarization/magic angle spinning, spectral-editing techniques, and two-dimensional ¹H-13C heteronuclear correlation NMR. The NMR spectra were comparable for the light fraction and two POM fractions and were dominated by carbohydrates and to a lesser extent lignins or their residues, with appreciable proteins or peptides. By contrast, spectra of the two humic fractions were dominated by aromatic C and COO/N-C=O groups, with smaller proportions of carbohydrates and NCH/OCH3 groups, indicative of more humified material. This trend was yet more pronounced in the calcium humate fraction. The spectrum for whole SOM had signals intermediate between these two groups of SOM fractions, suggesting contributions from both groups. Our results for this soil suggest that either chemical or physical fractions alone will partially represent whole SOM, and their integrated use is likely to provide greater insight into SOM structure and possibly function, depending on the research issue.

For this reason, they are being used in many new applications, including in harsh environments. It has been well documented that the performance of unprotected MEMS gyroscopes can be deleteriously affected by exposure to mechanical shock or high-frequency vibrations. The results of this investigation experimentally demonstrate that MEMS gyroscopes are also susceptible to high-power high-frequency acoustic noise when acoustic energy frequency components are close to the resonating frequency of the gyroscope's proof mass. Additionally, due to microfabrication tolerances and the resulting differences between otherwise identical devices, there can be significant differences in the acoustically sensitive bandwidth between otherwise identical MEMS gyroscopes. This phenomenon is characterized for the ADXRS300 MEMS gyroscope.

Following an overnight fast, low caffeine consumers (N=36; M=42.5mg/day caffeine) completed 5 counterbalanced test sessions (normal consumption, 0mg, 100mg, 200mg, and 400mg) separated by at least 3days. During each session, volunteers either consumed their normal amount of caffeine or were administered 1 of 4 treatment pills. One hour later they completed two tasks assessing visual attention, in counterbalanced order. Measures of mood, salivary caffeine and cortisol were taken at multiple time points. Dose-dependent elevation of caffeine in the saliva demonstrated the experimental manipulation was effective. Furthermore, analyses of the mood and arousal measures detected consistent changes on arousal subscales and caffeine administration elevated saliva cortisol. Analyses of the visual attention tasks revealed that caffeine-induced physiological arousal produced global processing biases, after as little as 100mg caffeine. These data suggest caffeine consumption may influence how individuals attend to and process information in their environment and could influence daily tasks such as face recognition, learning new environments and navigation, especially for those who normally consume little caffeine.

JO - Physiological Genomics JF - Physiological Genomics Y1 - 2011/06/28/ VL - 43 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 758 EP - 765 SN - 10948341 AB - To find a genetic basis for differential ability to survive severe hemorrhage, we previously showed eightfold differences in survival times among inbred rat strains. We assumed that rat strains had similar normalized blood volumes (NBV; ml/100 g body wt). As NBV might vary among strains and constitute one genetic variable affecting survival time to hemorrhage, in experiment 1 of the current studies we first measured total blood volumes and calculated NBV in specific inbred rat strains (Brown Norway/Medical College of Wisconsin, BN; Dark Agouti, DA; Fawn Hooded Hypertensive, FHH; Lewis, LEW; and Dahl Salt-Sensitive, SS) previously found to be divergent in survival time. NBV differed by 20% (P < 0.01; BN > SS > FHH = LEW = DA) and had a heritability (h2) of 0.56. Hence, differential survival times in our previously published study might reflect strain-dependent differences in NBV. Then studies were conducted wherein rats were catheterized and, ~24 h later, 47% of their blood volume was removed; these rats were observed for a maximum of 4 h. In experiment 2, blood volumes were measured the day prior to hemorrhage. Percent survival and survival time did not differ among strains. To obviate possible confounding effects of blood volume determination, in experiment 3 the average NBV for each strain was used to determine hemorrhage volumes. Percent survival (P < 0.01) and survival times (P < 0.001) were different with DA demonstrating the best (62.5%, 190 ± 29 min) and BN the worst (0%, 52 ± 5 min) survival responses. These data indicate that both blood volume and survival time after hemorrhage in rats are heritable quantitative traits, and continue to suggest that genetic assessment of these phenotypes might lead to novel therapeutics to improve survival to hemorrhage.

Numerous parameters including surface coverage fraction, functional group (−CH3, −OH, −NH2), and nanoparticle orientation are considered. The analysis includes computation of minimum interparticle binding distances and energies and an analysis of mechanisms that may contribute to changes in system potential energy. A number of interesting trends and results are observed, such as increasing binding distance with higher terminal group electronegativity and a minimum particle–particle binding energy (solubility parameter) based upon surface coverage. These results provide a fundamental understanding of ligand-coated nanoparticle interactions required for the design and processing of high-density polymer composites.

For a field test in a trichloroethene (TCE) source area, combining moderate-temperature subsurface electrical resistance heating with in situ ZVI treatment was shown to accelerate TCE treatment by a factor of about 4 based on organic daughter products and a factor about 8 based on chloride concentrations. A mass-discharge-based analysis was used to evaluate reaction, dissolution, and volatilization processes at ambient groundwater temperature (∼10 °C) and as temperature was increased up to about 50 °C. Increased reaction and contaminant dissolution were observed with increased temperature, but vapor- or aqueous-phase migration of TCE out of the treatment zone was minimal during the test because reactions maintained low aqueous-phase TCE concentrations.

According to the author, the emergence of novel materials, technologies and environmental stressors in the marketplace and the public consciousness necessitates an approach to environmental health and safety that integrates life-cycle thinking, public participation and adaptive management strategies. An overview of the four processes involved in MCDA, which is a method used in a complicated or uncertain decision-making process to improve understanding, the limitations of risk analysis and what an integrated process would look like is presented.

For conditions giving two phases, the composition of the dense phase was measured in addition to the density and viscosity. The modified Sanchez-Lacombe Equation of State (MSLEOS) was used with a single linearly temperature-dependent pseudo-binary interaction parameter to correlate the phase compositions and densities. The compositions and densities of the mixtures were captured well with absolute average deviations between the model and the data of 5.3% and 2.3%, respectively. The mixture viscosities were computed from a free volume model (FVM) by using a single constant binary interaction parameter. Density predictions from the MSLEOS were used as input mixture density values required for the FVM. The FVM was found to correlate well with the mixture viscosity data with an absolute average deviation between the model and the data of 5.7%.

Carboxyumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (CUGlcU) is a fluorescent labeled glucuronide that is soluble and highly fluorescent at natural water pHs and temperatures and, therefore, may be an ideal reagent for use in an in situ optical sensor. This paper reports for the first time the Michaelis–Menten kinetic parameters for the binding of E. coli GUS with CUGlcU as K m =910μM, V max =41.0μMmin−1, V max/K m 45.0μmolL−1 min−1, the optimal pH as 6.5±1.0, optimal temperature as 38°C, and the Gibb''s free energy of activation as 61.40kJmol−1. Additionally, it was found CUGlcU hydrolysis is not significantly affected by heavy solvents suggesting proton transfer and solvent addition that occur during hydrolysis are not limiting steps. Comparison studies were made with the more common fluorescent molecule methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (MUGlcU). Experiments showed GUS preferentially binds to MUGlcU in comparison to CUGlcU. CUGlcU was also demonstrated in a prototype optical sensor for the detection of E. coli. Initial bench testing of the sensor produced detection of low concentrations of E. coli (1.00×103 CFU/100mL) in 230±15.1min and high concentrations (1.05×105 CFU/100mL) in 8.00±1.01min.

Much less is known about situations in which several parts of the system are affected. In this case the interaction between the impacts of the different forcing components can lead to reinforcement of system responses or to their interference. This interference phenomenon is significant if some forcing components are anthropogenic for then management might be able to exercise sufficient control to bring about suppression of undesirable aspects of the forcing, for example resonant amplification and the problems this can cause. We set out the algebraic theory when forcing is weak and illustrate by example what can happen when forcing is strong enough to create subharmonics and chaotic states. Phase is the key control variable that can bring about interference, advantageously shift nonlinear response curves and create periodic states out of chaos. The phenomenon in which high period fluctuations appear to be generated by low period forcing is examined and different mechanisms compared in a two-strain epidemiological model. The effect of noise as a source of high period fluctuations is also considered.

A novel, noninvasive methodology was used to collect TDF, followed by sampling of total IGF-I (tIGF-I) and free IGF-I (fIGF-I) in TDF and serum following an acute bout of exercise. Experiment 1: eight men (23 ± 3 yrs, 79 ± 7 kg) underwent two conditions (resting and 60 min of cycling exercise at 60% V̇o2peak) in which serum and forearm TDF were collected for comparison. There were no significant changes in tIGF-I or fIGF-I in TDF obtained from the forearm or from serum following exercise (P > 0.05); however, the proportion of fIGF-I to tIGF-I in TDF was approximately fourfold greater than that of serum (P ≤ 0.05). These data suggest that changes in TDF IGF-I are not evident when TDF is sampled distal from the working tissue. To determine whether exercise-induced increases in local IGF-I could be detected when TDF was sampled directly over the active muscle group, we performed a second experiment. Experiment 2: fourteen subjects (22 ± 4 yr, 68 ± 11 kg) underwent an acute plyometric exercise condition consisting of 10 sets of 10 plyometric jumps with 2-min rest between sets. We observed a significant increase in TDF tIGF-I following exercise (P ≤ 0.05) but no change in serum tIGF-I (P > 0.05). Overall, these data suggest that TDF may provide a noninvasive means of monitoring acute exercise-induced changes in local IGF-I when sampled in proximity to exercising muscles. Moreover, our finding that the proportion of free to tIGF-I was greater in TDF than in serum suggests that changes in local IGF-I may be captured more readily using this system.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 30 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1366 EP - 1375 SN - 07307268 AB - Evaluation of dredged material for aquatic placement requires assessment of bioaccumulation potentials for benthic organisms using standardized laboratory bioaccumulation tests. Critical to the interpretation of these data is the assessment of steady state for bioaccumulated residues needed to generate biota sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) and to address control correction of day 0 contaminant residues measured in bioassay organisms. This study applied a novel performance reference compound approach with a pulse-chase experimental design to investigate elimination of a series of isotopically labeled polychlorinated biphenyl (C-PCBs) in the polychaete worm Nereis virens while simultaneously evaluating native PCB bioaccumulation from field-collected sediments. Results demonstrated that all C-PCBs, with the exception of C-PCB209 (> 80%), were eliminated by more than 90% after 28 d. The three sediment types yielded similar C-PCB whole-body elimination rate constants ( k) producing the following predictive equation: log k = − 0.09 × log K − 0.45. The rapid loss of C-PCBs from worms over the bioassay period indicated that control correction, by subtracting day 0 residues, would result in underestimates of bioavailable sediment residues. Significant uptake of native PCBs was observed only in the most contaminated sediment and proceeded according to kinetic model predictions with steady-state BSAFs ranging from 1 to 3 and peaking for congeners of log K between 6.2 and 6.5. The performance reference compound approach can provide novel information about chemical toxicokinetics and also serve as a quality check for the physiological performance of the bioassay organism during standardized bioaccumulation testing.

JO - Sensors (14248220) JF - Sensors (14248220) Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 11 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 5661 EP - 5676 SN - 14248220 AB - In Part 1 of this paper, we presented the engineering design and instrumentation of the Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) cabled system, a nonproprietary sensing technology developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (Oregon, USA) to meet the needs for monitoring the survival of juvenile salmonids through the hydroelectric facilities within the Federal Columbia River Power System. Here in Part 2, we describe how the JSATS cabled system was employed as a reference sensor network for detecting and tracking juvenile salmon. Time-of-arrival data for valid detections on four hydrophones were used to solve for the three-dimensional (3D) position of fish surgically implanted with JSATS acoustic transmitters. Validation tests demonstrated high accuracy of 3D tracking up to 100 m upstream from the John Day Dam spillway. The along-dam component, used for assigning the route of fish passage, had the highest accuracy; the median errors ranged from 0.02 to 0.22 m, and root mean square errors ranged from 0.07 to 0.56 m at distances up to 100 m. For the 2008 case study at John Day Dam, the range for 3D tracking was more than 100 m upstream of the dam face where hydrophones were deployed, and detection and tracking probabilities of fish tagged with JSATS acoustic transmitters were higher than 98%. JSATS cabled systems have been successfully deployed on several major dams to acquire information for salmon protection and for development of more ?fish-friendly? hydroelectric facilities.

Initial development focused on coded acoustic microtransmitters and autonomous receivers that could be deployed in open reaches of the river for detection of the juvenile salmonids implanted with microtransmitters as they passed the autonomous receiver arrays. In 2006, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory began the development of an acoustic receiver system for deployment at hydropower facilities (cabled receiver) for detecting fish tagged with microtransmitters as well as tracking them in two or three dimensions for determining route of passage and behavior as the fish passed at the facility. The additional information on route of passage, combined with survival estimates, is used by the dam operators and managers to make structural and operational changes at the hydropower facilities to improve survival of fish as they pass the facilities through the FCRPS.

JO - International Journal of Epidemiology JF - International Journal of Epidemiology Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - journal article SP - 731 EP - 739 SN - 03005771 AB - Background: Previously, we have shown that increasing adult height is associated with increased risk of testicular germ-cell tumor (TGCT). Recently, a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be related to height. We examined whether these SNPs were associated with TGCT and whether they explained the relationship between height and TGCT.Methods: We genotyped 15 height-related SNPs in the US Servicemen's Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine Determinants (STEED) case-control study. DNA was extracted from buccal cell samples and Taqman assays were used to type the selected SNPs. We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).Results: There were 561 cases and 676 controls for analysis. Two SNPs were found to be associated with risk of TGCT, rs6060373 (CC vs TT, OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.06-2.15) and rs143384 (CC vs TT, OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.09-2.15). rs6060373 is an intronic polymorphism of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone (UQCC), and rs143384 is a 5'UTR polymorphism of growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5). No individual SNP attenuated the association between height and TGCT. Adjustment for all SNPs previously associated with adult height reduced the associations between adult height and TGCT by ~8.5%, although the P-value indicated only weak evidence that this difference was important (P = 0.26).Conclusions: This novel analysis provides tentative evidence that SNPs which are associated with adult height may also share an association with risk of TGCT.

As such it has been given various definitions in the relativity and field theory literature and often even remains undefined physically. Physically meaningful coordinates of a point in the tangent bundle of spacetime are the spacetime and four-velocity coordinates of the measuring device. It is here emphasized that the four-velocity of the measuring device need not be the same as the four-velocity of the measured object, either classically or quantum mechanically. The four-velocity of a measured particle excitation of a Finslerian quantum field in the tangent space manifold of spacetime is not a suitable physical Finsler coordinate. The role of the Finsler coordinate is elaborated in a detailed example involving a Finslerian quantum field and associated microcausality.

Assessment strategies and tools are provided to assist in identification of suicidal ideation and behaviors, alcohol abuse in spouses, posttraumatic stress disorders, depression, brain injuries and post-concussion syndrome, as well as positive growth experiences. Empirically validated Cognitive Processing and Prolonged Exposure treatments are described as are the empirical results already in evidence in our military populations. The innovative use of Virtual Reality and Telehealth applications is demonstrated in both army and naval settings for preparing and reducing trauma in affected soldiers. The Functional and Occupational Rehabilitation Treatment (FORT) Program and its role in returning function to injured soldiers with musculoskeletal pain and motion restrictions, while also leading to reductions of anxiety, depression and use of medical services, is described. A critique about providing service-research for children's reactions to their parent's deployments and family functioning during separation and reintegration is provided. The need for theoretical-empirical approaches to understanding pain-behavior, anxiety dysregulation as it impacts the brain function and structure is provided by experts in pain, neuropsychology, brain circuitry and anxiety management of multiple traumas. This final paper in SOS provides commentary on SOS and describes possible future implications of current psychological knowledge related to military personnel and their families.

Bullet dissolution and scanning electron microscopy studies compared weathering of lead from antique small arms ammunition (the 45/70-405 Government) and modern ammunition (5.56 mm). The almost pure lead in the 45/70 bullet resulted in a round that has a lower corrosion and dissolution rate than the lead/antimony alloy of modern ammunition. It is less likely that lead will migrate from the older ranges into the surrounding environment either with suspended solids carried by surface water runoff or through leaching into the underlying soil and groundwater.

LIBS is ideal for rapid materials analysis since data can be collected in real time with no sample preparation. The coupling of LIBS with multivariate analysis has increased in recent years and allows for rapid processing of spectral information for qualitative or quantitative analysis. We will discuss several examples of how LIBS and multivariate analysis has been used to classify geological and energetic materials at the United States Army Research Laboratory. It is important to understand the parameters that influence the results and the limitations of multivariate analysis for LIBS applications.

Our aim was to develop a quantitative and graphical tool based on serial changes in either plasma osmolality (Posm), urine specific gravity (Usg), or body mass (Bm) to aid in determining the probability that a person has become dehydrated. A secondary purpose was to validate use of the tool by dehydrating a group of volunteers. Methods: Basic data were obtained from a recent study of biological variation in common hydration status markers. Four reference change values (RCV) were calculated for each variable (Posm, Usg, Bm) using four statistical probabilities (0.80, 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99). The probability derived from the Z-score for any given change can be calculated from: Z=change/[21/2(CVa2+CVi2)1/2]. This calculation was simplified to require one input (measured change) by plotting the RCV against probability to generate both an empirical equation and a dual quantitative-qualitative graphic. Results: Eleven volunteers were dehydrated by moderate levels (-2.1% to -3.5% Bm). Actual probabilities were obtained by substituting measured changes in Posm, Usg, and Bm for X in the exponential equation, Y=1- e-K·X, where each variable has a unique K constant. Median probabilities were 0.98 (Posm), 0.97 (Usg), and 0.97 (Bm), which aligned with 'very likely' to 'virtually certain' qualitative probability categories for dehydration. Conclusions: This investigation provides a simple quantitative and graphical tool that can aid in determining the probability that a person has become dehydrated when serial measures of Posm, Usg, or Bm are made.

In mouse phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm assays, 14G8, when combined with a second antibody (5D9-H9-A9, which reacts to epitopes on the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain), was able to protect the mouse myoneural junction from intoxication with C. botulinum type C neurotoxin. When used individually, both 14G8 and 5D9-H9-G9 antibodies slowed the loss of twitch tension in the mouse phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm assays, but did not completely protect the phrenic nerve from paralysis. In in vivo mouse botulinum neurotoxin type C challenge studies, the combination of 14G8 and 5D9-H9-A9 significantly increased mean time-to-death and survival when compared to toxin controls and mice receiving only one of the monoclonal antibodies. These results suggest that the 14G8 monoclonal antibody could have useful therapeutic applications.

JO - Geo-Marine Letters JF - Geo-Marine Letters Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 31 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 201 SN - 02760460 AB - The boundary layer characteristics beneath waves transforming on a natural beach are affected by both waves and wave-induced currents, and their predictability is more difficult and challenging than for those observed over a seabed of uniform depth. In this research, a first-order boundary layer model is developed to investigate the characteristics of bottom boundary layers in a wave-current coexisting environment beneath shoaling and breaking waves. The main difference between the present modeling approach and previous methods is in the mathematical formulation for the mean horizontal pressure gradient term in the governing equations for the cross-shore wave-induced currents. This term is obtained from the wave-averaged momentum equation, and its magnitude depends on the balance between the wave excess momentum flux gradient and the hydrostatic pressure gradient due to spatial variations in the wave field of propagating waves and mean water level fluctuations. A turbulence closure scheme is used with a modified low Reynolds number k- ε model. The model was validated with two published experimental datasets for normally incident shoaling and breaking waves over a sloping seabed. For shoaling waves, model results agree well with data for the instantaneous velocity profiles, oscillatory wave amplitudes, and mean velocity profiles. For breaking waves, a good agreement is obtained between model and data for the vertical distribution of mean shear stress. In particular, the model reproduced the local onshore mean flow near the bottom beneath shoaling waves, and the vertically decreasing pattern of mean shear stress beneath breaking waves. These successful demonstrations for wave-current bottom boundary layers are attributed to a novel formulation of the mean pressure gradient incorporated in the present model. The proposed new formulation plays an important role in modeling the boundary layer characteristics beneath shoaling and breaking waves, and ensuring that the present model is applicable to nearshore sediment transport and morphology evolution.

T1 - Effects of 4-tert-octylphenol on Xenopus tropicalis in a long term exposure JO - Aquatic Toxicology JF - Aquatic Toxicology Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 103 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 159 EP - 169 SN - 0166445X AB - Abstract: Endocrine disrupting chemicals that activate the estrogen receptor are routinely detected in the environment and are a concern for the health of both exposed humans and indigenous wildlife. We exposed the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) to the weak estrogen octylphenol from Nieuwkoop–Faber (NF) stage 46 tadpoles through adulthood in order to document the effects of a weak estrogen on the life history of an amphibian species. Frogs were exposed to 1, 3.3, 11 and 36μg/L octylphenol in a continuous flow-through water system. Just prior to completion of metamorphosis (NF 65), a random subsample of froglets was collected and assessed, while the remaining frogs received continued exposure through 31weeks of exposure when the remaining animals were sampled. Significant induction of the female egg yolk protein precursor vitellogenin was observed in the high treatment at the larval subsampling for both males and females, but not at the final sampling for either sex. No significant deviation from the control sex ratio was observed for either sampling period, suggesting minimal to no effect of octylphenol exposure on gonad differentiation. No effects in the adult frogs were observed for mortality, body mass and size, liver somatic index, estradiol and testosterone serum levels, sperm counts, or oocyte counts. The development and growth of oviducts, a female-specific secondary sex characteristic, was observed in males exposed to octylphenol. These results indicate that octylphenol exposure can induce vitellogenin in immature froglets and the development of oviducts in male adult frogs. The lack of effect observed on the developing gonads suggests that in amphibians, secondary sex characteristics are more susceptible to impact from estrogenic compounds than the developing gonads.

Results indicate the scores and properties of the PAI scales were generally quite similar in the Iraq and community samples, with modest differences emerging on only 3 subscales addressing antisocial behavior, issues with close relationships, and interpersonal vigilance. These results suggest that standard normative interpretation of PAI scales is appropriate even when the instrument is administered in a combat zone. In comparison with prior research, the results may suggest that documented mental health issues among combat veterans, when present, may be particularly likely to emerge postdeployment.

JO - Journal of Composite Materials JF - Journal of Composite Materials Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 45 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1217 EP - 1231 SN - 00219983 AB - Aramid and aramid copolymer fibers are used in a wide variety of military and civilian applications; however, the long-term effects of environmental exposure on tensile properties are still not well understood. The current effort investigates the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the tensile properties of Kevlar® KM2 ®, Twaron®, and the newly available Russian copolymer, Armos® high performance fibers. Moisture uptake studies show that at room temperature, water diffuses more slowly into the copolymer Armos ® (D = 8.7 × 10-13 cm2/s) compared to the Kevlar® KM2® and Twaron® homopolymers (D = 2.16 × 10-12 cm2/s and D = 1.8 × 10 -12 cm2/s, respectively). Tensile properties have been measured for these aramid fibers that have been conditioned in water at 40°C, 60°C, 80°C, and 100°C for periods of 17 and 34 days. For both aramid and aramid copolymer fibers, hygrothermal conditioning did not significantly change fiber tensile properties below 80°C. At the most extreme condition of 100°C, 34 days, aramid fibers showed significant loss of tensile strength (58% for KM2 and 34% for Twaron®), while a reduction in tensile strength of 13% (Armos®) was observed for aramid copolymer (Armos®) fibers. Conditioned fibers exhibited no significant change in mass as a result of the conditioning procedure and FTIR spectroscopy results did not indicate signs of chemical or thermo-oxidative change due to hygrothermal conditioning. These results suggest that in aramid fibers, the primary mechanism of degradation at temperatures between 80°C and 100 °C is due to the ingress and egress of moisture in the highly ordered core structure of the fiber. The presence of water in the intercrystalline regions of the fiber core enable segmental chain motion that can relax tie molecules, alter crystal orientation, and change apparent crystallite size. Because of differences in molecular architecture and phase morphology, the aramid copolymer, Armos®, is less susceptible to degradation of tensile properties under these conditions.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2011/05/31/ VL - 108 IS - 22 M3 - Article SP - 9148 EP - 9153 SN - 00278424 AB - Camouflage is a widespread phenomenon throughout nature and an important antipredator tactic in natural selection. Many visual predators have keen color perception, and thus camouflage patterns should provide some degree of color matching in addition to other visual factors such as pattern, contrast, and texture. Quantifying camouflage effectiveness in the eyes of the predator is a challenge from the perspectives of both biology and optical imaging technology. Here we take advantage of hyperspectral imaging (HSI), which records full-spectrum light data, to simultaneously visualize color match and pattern match in the spectral and the spatial domains, respectively. Cuttlefish can dynamically camouflage themselves on any natural substrate and, despite their colorblindness, produce body patterns that appear to have high-fidelity color matches to the substrate when viewed directly by humans or with RGB images. Live camouflaged cuttlefish on natural backgrounds were imaged using HSI, and subsequent spectral analysis revealed that most reflectance spectra of individual cuttlefish and substrates were similar, rendering the color match possible. Modeling color vision of potential di- and trichromatic fish predators of cuttlefish corroborated the spectral match analysis and demonstrated that camouflaged cuttlefish show good color match as well as pattern match in the eyes of fish predators. These findings (i) indicate the strong potential of HSI technology to enhance studies of biological coloration and (ii) provide supporting evidence that cuttlefish can produce color-coordinated camouflage on natural substrates despite lacking color vision.

It was found that nanocrystalline iron was strongly stabilized by zirconium, moderately stabilized by tantalum, and not significantly stabilized by nickel or chromium. These findings are fully in line with the aforementioned predictions. This success with iron based alloys highlights the utility of this practical approach to selecting stabilizing solutes for nanocrystalline alloys.

The detection system consists of a CMOS imaging module, a white LED and a pinhole. Real-time image processing was conducted by comparing reference and live frame images. To evaluate the engineered system, the effects of two different drugs, isoprenaline and doxorubicin, on the beating rate and beat-to-beat variations of ESC-derived cardiomyocytes were measured. The detection system was used to conclude that the beat-to-beat variability increased under treatment with both isoprenaline and doxorubicin. However, the beating rates increased upon the addition of isoprenaline but decreased for cultures supplemented with doxorubicin. Moreover, the response time for both the beating rates and the beat-to-beat variability of ESC-derived cardiomyocytes under treatment of isoprenaline was shorter than for doxorubicin, although the amount of isoprenaline used in the measurement was three orders of magnitude lower than that of doxorubicin. Given its ability to perform real-time cell monitoring in a simple and inexpensive manner, the proposed system may be useful for a range of cell-based biosensing applications.

The metalloid antimony (Sb), commonly associated with Pb in the environment, exists as either a neutral species or a negatively charged oxyanion. Antimony is used in the manufacture of bullets as a hardening agent, constituting approximately 3% of the bullet mass. Technological solutions to reduce the migration of metals from small arms firing range (SAFR) soils for environmental compliance purposes must be robust with respect to multi-component systems containing both cationic and anionic contaminants. The effect of varying physico-chemical soil properties on Sb mobility post-firing was assessed in this study for six soil types using common analytical protocols and methods related to regulatory criteria. The sands (SM and SP) demonstrated the greatest Sb solubility in post-firing leachate samples and therefore were selected to evaluate the effects of five commercially available stabilization amendments on Sb mobility. Enhanced Sb leaching was experimentally confirmed in the phosphate-treated soils compared to both the untreated control soil and the sulfur-based amendment, and thus suggests competition for negative sorption sites between Sb and phosphate. However, the 5% Buffer Block® calcium phosphate amendment did not exhibit the same enhanced Sb release. This can be attributed to the inclusion of aluminum hydroxide in the amendment composition. Technologies are needed that will adequately immobilize Pb without mobilizing oxyanions such as Sb. Further research will be required to elucidate binding mechanisms and redox conditions that govern the mobility of Sb on SAFRs.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/05/15/ VL - 45 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4235 EP - 4241 SN - 0013936X AB - Ecological and human risks often drive the selection of remedial alternatives for contaminated sediments. Traditional human and ecological risk assessment (HERA) includes assessing risk for benthic organisms and aquatic fauna associated with exposure to contaminated sediments before and after remediation as well as risk for human exposure but does not consider the environmental footprint associated with implementing remedial alternatives. Assessment of environmental effects over the whole life cycle (i.e., Life Cycle Assessment, LCA) could complement HERA and help in selecting the most appropriate sediment management alternative. Even though LCA has been developed and applied in multiple environmental management cases, applications to contaminated sediments and marine ecosystems are in general less frequent. This paper implements LCA methodology for the case of the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans (PCDD/F)-contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway. LCA was applied to investigate the environmental footprint of different active and passive thin-layer capping alternatives as compared to natural recovery. The results showed that capping was preferable to natural recovery when analysis is limited to effects related to the site contamination. Incorporation of impacts related to the use of resources and energy during the implementation of a thin layer cap increase the environmental footprint by over 1 order of magnitude, making capping inferior to the natural recovery alternative. Use of biomass-derived activated carbon, where carbon dioxide is sequestered during the production process, reduces the overall environmental impact to that of natural recovery. The results from this study show that LCA may be a valuable tool for assessing the environmental footprint of sediment remediation projects and for sustainable sediment management.

A general expression is written for the probability of a measurement outcome taking into account these three nonideal aspects. As an example of applying the formalism, the classical Fisher information and fidelity (Shannon mutual information between phase and measurements) are computed for few-photon Fock and N00N states input into a lossy Mach-Zehnder interferometer. These three nonideal aspects lead to qualitative differences in phase estimation, such as a decrease in fidelity and Fisher information that depends on the true value of the phase.

For this reason research continues in the areas of animal model and therapeutic development. Orthopoxviruses show a widely varying degree of host specificity, making development of accurate animal models difficult. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel respiratory infection technique that resulted in "classic" orthopox disease in nonhuman primates and takes the field of research one step closer to a better animal model.

Entrapment of E. coli by PSP was directly observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) after E. coli and PSP were incubated together in water for 24 h at 35 °C. Entrapment coefficient was proposed for the first time to reflect the ability of PSP to entrap E. coli and was estimated as 1.4 × 103 CFU/mg PSP under our experimental conditions. Ultrasonication (20 kHz) of different E. coli-PSPs solutions showed that the entrapped E. coli cells were protected by PSP from ultrasonication and the unentrapped cells were not. However, the protection of entrapped E. coli cells gradually decreased as ultrasonication proceeded, suggesting the ability of power ultrasonication to deprotect the entrapped E. coli cells. SEM studies suggested a two-step mechanism for ultrasonic (20 kHz) disinfection of entrapped E. coli: breakdown of the protective PSP refugia and disinfection of the exposed E. coli cells. This research will enable more informed decisions about disinfection of aqueous samples where porous PSP are present.

Within the development of the theory, the two constituent phases, ceramic and metal, vary across the wall thickness according to a prescribed power law. The theory includes the geometrical non-linearities, the dynamic effects, compressive tensile edge loadings, the damping effects, and thermal effects. The static and dynamic solutions are developed leveraging the use of a stress potential with the Extended Galerkin method and the Runge–Kutta method. Validations with simpler cases within the specialized literature are shown. The analysis focuses on how to alleviate the unwanted effects of large deformations through proper material selection and the proper gradation of the constituent phases or materials.

High-speed digital cameras are used to visualize the failure processes. A summary of the available experimental results, including that in the literature, shows that the compressive strength of the AlN is sensitive to strain rate in the range from 10−3 to 103 s−1, and that the deviatoric strength of AlN is linearly dependent on pressure at low pressures and nearly independent of pressure above a transitional pressure (about 2GPa). TEM characterization of fragments obtained after dynamic loading is used to characterize the deformation mechanisms in the AlN for varying confinement. The transition in the pressure dependent behavior is shown to be the result of a change of deformation mechanism. Classical wing crack micromechanics is used to predict the transition in the deformation mechanism, and to explain the observed behavior at low pressure.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2011/05//05/01/2011 VL - 39 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 992 EP - 998 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Syndesmotic and medial ankle sprains constitute up to 15% of all ankle sprains in athletic populations and can result in significant time lost to injury and long-term disability.Purpose: The objective of this study was to estimate the rate of syndesmotic and medial ankle sprain injuries and identify risk factors associated with these injuries within the physically active cadet population at the United States Military Academy (USMA).Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.Methods: The Cadet Illness and Injury Tracking System (CIITS) database at USMA was queried for all ankle injuries between 2005 and 2009. Sex, level of competition, and exposure to sport were among risk factors analyzed.Results: Among 20 336 person-years, 1206 cadets sustained ankle sprain. Syndesmotic (6.7%) and medial (5.1%) ankle sprains had an incidence rate (IR) of 4.8 and 3.5 per 1000 person-years, respectively. Compared with women, men were 3 times more likely to experience medial ankle sprain (IR ratio [IRR] 3.37; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 10.74], but there was no difference in rate of syndesmotic sprains by sex (IRR 1.06; 95% CI: 0.58, 1.95). Athletics accounted for 81% of syndesmotic sprains and 64% of medial sprains. Sprint football (52.3), team handball (men’s, 34.7), soccer (men’s, 30.5; women’s, 6.5), and basketball (men’s, 24.8; women’s, 6.7) had the highest syndesmotic IR per 100 000 athlete-exposures. Medial sprain IR was highest in men’s rugby (16.6) and gymnastics (14.0). When analyzed by athlete-exposure, male intercollegiate athletes had a greater risk of syndesmotic sprain than their female counterparts (3.53; 95% CI: 1.26, 9.83). Furthermore, intercollegiate level of competition had an increased risk of syndesmotic sprain when compared with intramural level (IRR 2.41; 95% CI: 1.03, 5.65).Conclusion: Male athletes have an over threefold greater risk of medial ankle sprain. Male sex and higher level of competition are risk factors for syndesmotic ankle sprain during athletics.

Promotion of a more in-depth knowledge of science teaching efficacy requires cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations. In this study, a bi-disciplinary four-dimensional assessment is utilized to measure personal teacher efficacy, outcome expectancy, classroom management (CM), and student engagement (SE). Major findings from this study conclude that science teaching efficacy was markedly lower for science teachers with high minority class ethnicity distribution (CED) when compared with efficacy levels of teachers with high nonminority CED. Additionally, when examining efficacy dimensions separately, markedly lower mean efficacy dimension responses were consistent for teachers with high minority CED; however, only CM and SE were considered statistically different. Results were consistent for both the environmental and general science disciplines.

Tunable parallel plate capacitors were fabricated using these films by ion-milling and photolithography. The capacitors show a tunability of 36% for an electric field of + 13V at a measurement frequency of 1 MHz. These tunable capacitors were integrated with resonators fabricated on FR-4 substrates to form tunable RF filters. Characterization of the filters shows that the center frequency can be tuned from 3.710 GHz to 4.062 GHz by applying a tunable bias of 12 volts.

Specifically, we describe a 'multiple injection flash evaporation' technique, which can easily produce BST thin films with a wide variety of compositional grading and dopant profiles. Preliminary results show the films to have excellent voltage standoff properties and tunability of dielectric permittivity. These materials are presently being used in the development of tunable RF filters for communication and radar applications.

The films were characterized via X-Ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric constant, loss tangent, tunability, and leakage current were measured as a function of electric field, frequency, and temperature. The film deposited with a lower precursor solution molarity solution had a larger permittivity and tunability, but it also had higher loss tangent and leakage current density. The internal stresses in the films are almost completely relaxed, and this is the main reason for the large, bulk-like dielectric constant in these films.

We fabricated Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (BST) thin films using metalorganic solution deposition (MOSD) and UV-photon irradiation isothermal treatment via two protocols: in situ crystallized UV-photon irradiated films, and post-crystallization UV-photon irradiated films. Isothermal UV-photon irradiation treatment improves the structural quality of the BST films, and the irradiated films possessed lattice parameters close to the bulk values, which is evidence for a reduction in oxygen vacancies. MOSD fabricated BST films crystallized via conventionally furnace annealing and subsequently exposed to UV-photon irradiation possessed improved structural, dielectric, and electrical quality.

In addition, these algorithms can be used to identify an envelope of sequences that may be compatible with a particular protein fold topology. In this regard, we hypothesized that sequence-property prediction, specifically secondary structure, could be significantly enhanced by using a large database of computationally designed sequences. We performed a large-scale test of this hypothesis with 6511 diverse protein domains and 50 designed sequences per domain. After analysis of the inherent accuracy of the designed sequences database, we realized that it was necessary to put constraints on what fraction of the native sequence should be allowed to change. With mutational constraints, accuracy was improved vs. no constraints, but the diversity of designed sequences, and hence effective size of the database, was moderately reduced. Overall, the best three-state prediction accuracy (Q3) that we achieved was nearly a percentage point improved over using a natural sequence database alone, well below the theoretical possibility for improvement of 8–10 percentage points. Furthermore, our nascent method was used to augment the state-of-the-art PSIPRED program by a percentage point.

By defining different levels of Al Qaeda, core, periphery, and movement, this article engages current debates about the threat by focusing on the operational differences across these three levels. Contrary to conventional wisdom about operational efficiency, the social movement has a higher success rate but the core imposes greater costs as measured by casualties. The cells or networks actually executing the attacks also display substantive differences. The social movement networks organize in smaller cells than either affiliated groups or the core; however, they display greater levels of connectedness. The affiliated and organization cells display fewer connections, suggestive of more disciplined operational procedure despite lower success rates. These patterns reflect fundamental differences across characterizations of Al Qaeda, and have significant implications for counterterrorism efforts.

Previous work on the FSI between a blast wave and a free-standing plate (Kambouchev, N., et al., 2006, "Nonlinear Compressibility Effects in Fluid-Structure Interaction and Their Implications on the Air-Blast Loading of Structures," J. Appl. Phys., 100(6), p. 063519) has assumed a constant atmospheric pressure at the back of the plate and neglected the resistance caused by the shock wave formation due to the receding motion of the plate. This paper develops an PSI model that includes the resistance caused by the shock wave formation at the back of the plate. The numerical results show that the resistance to the plate motion is especially pronounced for a light plate, and as a result, the previous work overpredicts the mitigation effects of FSI. Therefore, the effects of the interaction between the plate and the shock wave formation at the back of the plate should be considered in blast wave mitigation.

Processing such a data set is not straightforward as heterogeneous data may not be commensurate. In addition, the signals may also exhibit statistical dependence due to overlapping fields of view. We propose a copula-based solution to incorporate statistical dependence between disparate sources of information. The important problem of identifying the best copula for binary classification problems is also addressed. Computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach. The method is also tested on real-data provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for a multibiometric face recognition application. Finally, performance limits are derived to study the influence of statistical dependence on classification performance.

The shocked polymeric nitrogen undergoes multiple complex phase transformations and spontaneously forms defects. The occurrence of these dynamic phenomena absorbs the shock energy which subsequently slows the compression wave. Additionally, no reaction occurs immediately behind the shock front; rather reactions result from the unraveling of the material at the free edge of the filament opposite to shock propagation. As the material unravels, numerous polyatomic transients are formed, including five-membered rings and polymeric chains, which subsequently undergo secondary reactions to form the final diatomic products. The speed at which these reactions propagate through the material is much slower than the sound speed, and combined with the slowing compression wave, indicates that the material may not detonate under these conditions.

It is shown that the resultant FeCu/C catalyst not only accelerates the two-electron reduction of oxygen as “O2 +2Li+ +2e→Li2O2”, but also catalyzes the chemical disproportionation of Li2O2 as “2Li2O2 →2Li2O+O2”. In Li/air cells, the catalyst reduces polarization on discharge while simultaneously reducing the fraction of Li2O2 in the final discharged products. In a 0.2molkg−1 LiSO3CF3 7:3 (wt.) propylene carbonate (PC)/tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphate (TFP) electrolyte, the Li/air cells with FeCu/C show at least 0.2V higher discharge voltage at 0.2mAcm−2 than those with pristine carbon. By measuring the charge-transfer resistance (R ct) of Li/air cells at temperatures ranging between −30°C and 30°C, we determine the apparent activation energy of the discharge of Li/air cells and discuss the effect of FeCu/C catalyst on the oxygen reduction in Li/air cells.

As such, they play important roles in the dispersal of fluvial sediment and the transport of sand to and from the shoreline. This study focused on the nearshore of Poverty Bay, New Zealand, and the processes controlling the dispersal of sediment from the main source, the Waipaoa River. Hydrodynamics and sediment-transport in water shallower than 15m were observed from April through mid-September 2006. This deployment afforded observations during 3–4 periods of elevated river discharge and 5 dry storms. Similar wind, river discharge, wave, current, and turbidity patterns were characterized during three of the wet storms. At the beginning of each event, winds blew shoreward, increasing wave heights to 2–3m within Poverty Bay. As the cyclonic storms moved through the system the winds reversed direction and became seaward, reducing the local wave height and orbital velocity while river discharge remained elevated. At these times, high river discharge and relatively small waves enabled fluvially derived suspended sediment to deposit in shallow water. Altimetry measurements indicated that at least 7cm was deposited at a 15m deep site during a single discharge event. Turbidity and seabed observations showed this deposition to be removed, however, as large swell waves from the Southern Ocean triggered resuspension of the material within three weeks of deposition. Consequently, two periods of dispersal were associated with each discharge pulse, one coinciding with fluvial delivery, and a second driven by wave resuspension a few weeks later. These observations of nearfield sediment deposition contradict current hypotheses of very limited sediment deposition in shallow water offshore of small mountainous rivers when floods and high-energy, large wave and fast current, oceanic conditions coincide. Consistently shoreward near-bed currents, observed along the 10m isobath of Poverty Bay, were attributed to a combination of estuarine circulation, Stokes drift, and wind driven upwelling. Velocities measured at the 15m isobath, however, were directed more alongshore and diverged from those at the 10m isobath. The divergence in the currents observed at the 10 and 15m locations seemed to facilitate segregation of coarse and fine sediment, with sand transported near-bed toward the beach, while suspended silts and clays were exported to deeper water.

We first establish analytically that the number of coexisting attractors is bounded above by N. We then numerically estimate the probability p of a randomly chosen signal resulting in a multistable response as a function of N. Interestingly, with increasing drive signal complexity the system exhibits a paucity of attractors. That is, almost any drive signal beyond a certain complexity level will result in a single attractor response (p = 0). This mechanism may play a role in allowing sensitive multistable systems to respond consistently to external influences.

By measuring and analyzing the viscosity of PC/TFP solvent blends, the ionic conductivity of electrolytes, and the discharge performance of Li/air cells as a function of the PC/TFP weight ratio, we determined the best composition of the electrolyte is 0.2m (molality) LiSO3CF3 7:3wt. PC/TFP for Li/O2 cells and 0.2m LiSO3CF3 3:2wt. PC/TFP for Li/air cells. Discharge results indicate that Li/air cells with the optimized electrolyte are significantly superior in specific capacity and rate capability to those with baseline electrolytes. More interestingly, the improvement in discharge performance becomes more significant as the discharge current increases or the oxygen partial pressure decreases. These results agree neither with the viscosity of the solvent blends nor the ionic conductivity of the electrolytes. We consider that the most likely reason for the performance improvement is due to the increased dissolution kinetics and solubility of oxygen in TFP-containing electrolytes. In addition, the electrolyte has a 5.15V electrochemical window, which is suitable for use in rechargeable Li/air batteries.

The system operates at 200-kHz maximum switching frequency, which is considerably higher than the conventional practice at this power level, leading to smaller passive components. A high power density of 143 \W/in^3 is achieved with the converter operating at a high ambient temperature of 65 ^\circ\C with 90 ^\circ\C cooling oil, by utilizing various technologies on topology, control, devices, passives, and thermal management. The experimental results demonstrate that the converter meets the performance requirements while achieving a high power density.

These changes, while intended to redefine the purposes and functions of the U.S. reserve force, at times had unanticipated effects on the individual reservist’s experience of and identity with reserve military service. Emergent identities include the obliged-conscripted citizen soldier, weekend warrior, instrumental volunteer, identity seeker, soldier warrior, and conservative ideologue. The author elaborates on these identities and their association with geopolitical events and corresponding responses in the U.S. national defense strategy and concludes by discussing the implications of more recent identities for adequately staffing and readying the U.S. reserve force.

Typical windscreen shapes consisting of circular, elliptical, and rectangular cylinders are investigated. A turbulent environment is generated by placing a solid circular cylinder upstream of the microphone. An immersed-boundary method with a fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme is implemented to enhance the simulation accuracy for high-Reynolds number flow around the solid cylinder as well as at the interface between the open air and the porous material comprising the windscreen. The Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are solved in the open air. For the flow inside the porous material, a modified form of the Zwikker-Kosten equation is solved. The results show that, on average, the circular and horizontal ellipse windscreens have similar overall wind noise reduction performance, while the horizontal ellipse windscreen with medium flow resistivity provides the most effective wind noise reduction among all the considered cases. The vertical ellipse windscreen with high flow resistivity, in particular, increases the wind noise because of increased self-generation of turbulence.

Grippers were fabricated using photolithography, and Si chips were bonded to them using a solder-based directed assembly approach. Because we propose the use of these grippers as tags or to attach electronic devices to various surfaces, we also attached commercial microtransponder chips to the grippers as a specific example of an integrated and commercially available electronic device. After assembly, we released grippers with integrated chips from the substrate. Grippers closed upon exposure to heat (> 40^\circ\ \C) or specific chemical environments that softened or degraded a polymer trigger layer incorporated within each hinge. We investigated gripping capabilities of chip-carrying grippers on woven textile fibers and a live caterpillar; these demonstrations were achieved without any attached wires or electrical power. The autonomous thermochemical closure response of the grippers coupled with convenient and secure attachment of wireless microtransponders is a step toward the creation of smart event-based gripping platforms with communication modules.\hfill[2010-0228] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Biological Rhythm Research JF - Biological Rhythm Research Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 42 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 99 EP - 110 SN - 09291016 AB - Sleep deprivation has a complex set of neurological effects that go beyond a mere slowing of mental processes. While cognitive and perceptual impairments in sleep deprived individuals are widespread, some abilities remain intact. In an effort to characterize these effects, some have suggested an impairment of complex decision-making ability despite intact ability to follow simple rules. To examine this trade-off, 24-hour total sleep deprived individuals performed two versions of a resource acquisition foraging task, one in which exploration is optimal (to succeed, abandon low value, high saliency options) and another in which exploitation is optimal (to succeed, refrain from switching between options). Sleep deprived subjects exhibited decreased performance on the exploitation task compared to non-sleep deprived controls, yet both groups exhibited increased performance on the exploratory task. These results speak to previous neuropsychological work on cognitive control.

JO - American Antiquity JF - American Antiquity Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 76 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 285 EP - 313 SN - 00027316 AB - Archaeological models of Clovis adaptations are divided between those that argue for a single hunting adaptation characterized by high residential mobility without fixed territories and those that argue for a diversity of environment-specific adaptations and settlement systems. The Dietz site (35LK1529), the largest Clovis site in the Pacific Northwest, is composed of many overlapping, spatially coherent artifact clusters from which 75 whole and fragmentary fluted points have been recovered. The artifact assemblage is inconsistent with use of the site as a kill, camp, or quarry site. Geoarchaeological data show that the site area during the Clovis occupation was a sparsely vegetated, seasonal playa that is unlikely to have supported large herds of game animals. However, the site sits astride what was probably a major transportation corridor linking highly productive ecosystems in the adjoining basins, and Clovis foragers appear to have camped at Dietz repeatedly while traveling between these nearby basins. The systematic and redundant use of a geographically small landscape by Clovis foragers is inconsistent with expectations based on a model of residentially mobile foragers occupying new territories. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Los modelos teóricos de la adaptación Clovis se dividen entre los que abogan por un solo tipo de adaptación basada en la caza, con una movilidad residencial alta y sin territorios fijos, por otro lado están los que contemplan una diversidad de adaptaciones y de sistemas de asentamiento específicos para cada tipo de medio ambiente. El sitio Dietz, el yacimiento Clovis más grande del Pacífico Noroeste de los Estados Unidos, está compuesto de varios estratos culturales con artefactos agrupados de manera coherente entre los que se han recuperado un total de 75 puntas de proyectil tipo Clovis (completas y fragmentadas). El conjunto no parece indicar el empleo del yacimiento como lugar de matanza, de campamento a largo plazo o de taller lítico. Los datos geomorfológicos indican que durante la ocupación Clovis el área tenía una vegetación pobre, con un estanque estacional que no podía abastecer grandes manadas de ungulados. Sin embargo, el sitio está ubicado en medio de un probable corredor que comunica a varios ecosistemas muy productivos en cuencas cercanas. Los cazadores-recolectores Clovis parecen haber acampado en Dietz de manera repetida durante sus trayectos entre dichas cuencas. El empleo sistemático y redundante de un pequeño paisaje por parte de las gentes Clovis no concuerda con las expectativas basadas en un modelo de forrajeros móviles que estaban en búsqueda de nuevos territorios de ocupación.

This study aims to specify the processing operations underlying age-related differences in the speed and accuracy of visual search in a mathematical model. Method. Eighteen older and 18 young adults searched for a predesignated target within 24-degree visual arrays containing distractors. Targets were systematically placed in regions that extended 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10 degrees from center. Data were fitted to several versions of a mathematical model in which it was assumed that target search proceeds from the center fixation to peripheral areas in a succession of visual inspections of clusters until the target is located and that clusters can vary in size in response to search difficulty. Results. Eccentricity effects on latencies and errors were larger for older adults than for younger adults, especially in the hardest search condition. The best-fitting version of the “search-by-clusters” model accounted for an average of 98.4% and 95.4% of the variance in the young and older adults, respectively. The resulting time, accuracy, and cluster parameters behaved plausibly in each of the 36 data sets. Conclusions. A quantitative model that specified how individuals searched for targets in large arrays accurately predicted the search times and accuracies of younger and older adults.

The specific capacitance of IPGE ranged from 48 to 132F/g, depending on the potential scan rate from 0.5 to 0.01V/s using 1M H2SO4 as the electrolyte. The initial performance of IPGEs compares favorably to that reported for graphene electrodes prepared by other fabrication methods. This new finding is expected to be particularly useful for designing and fabricating inter-digitized electrode arrays with a lateral spatial resolution of ~50μm for flexible micro-supercapacitors.

This period has been marked by sudden swings from the geopolitical and military exploits of Nazi Germany to Soviet dominated communism and then to a free market democracy after the downfall of the Iron Curtain. Following the Soviet Union, the main geopolitical force and military player in this region is the United States of America. The question now arises, which direction is the geopolitical pendulum going to swing in the coming decades? One crucial test of these current developments was the planned deployment of the ground based mid-course defense system (GMD) that was proposed by the United States and supported by the governments of Poland and the Czech Republic. The objective of this research is to determine the current geopolitical atmosphere in Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic regarding the missile deployment and analyze additional factors that form public perception of current geopolitical status quo. As the results indicate, “the geopolitical pendulum” may swing again, but this time away from the United States towards more neutral ground.

However, transmissions from multiple relay nodes are challenging in practice. Single transmissions in time-division multiple-access (TDMA) manner cause large transmission delay, but simultaneous transmissions from two or more nodes using frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) and code-division multiple access (CDMA) are associated with the issue of imperfect frequency and timing synchronization. In this work, a novel framework for cooperative communications is proposed to achieve full spatial diversity with low transmission delay and eliminate the issue of imperfect synchronization. This is realized by the use of space–time network codes (STNCs) associated with a novel concept of wireless network cocast. For a network of N client nodes, R relay nodes and a base node, the STNCs provide a diversity order of (R+1) for each symbol with (N+R) time slots, a reduction from 2N time slots in traditional FDMA and CDMA cooperative communications for N being usually greater than R and from N(R+1) time slots in traditional TDMA cooperative communications. The STNCs are also applied in networks, where the client nodes located in a cluster act as relays to help one another to improve their transmission performance. The performance in clustering setting is studied to show the improvement in power saving, range extension, and transmission rate.

The grants of citizenship served as the basis of the Russian claim of defense of its citizens within Georgia. The latter was accused by Russia of failing in its responsibility to protect its citizens. One of the reasons behind the criticism received by Russia was the length of time it occupied Georgian territory.

It starts with a brief examination of the historical background behind current Russian conscription policy, and later looks at contemporary Russian attitudes toward service and the institution of the army. Concerns regarding Russian national security posture and fiscal constraints are then addressed. Despite a shift in mentality among Russia's top leaders as to the orientation of their army's posture, real fiscal conditions limit the implementation of many reforms, including a shift to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment. Furthermore, the harsh conditions and sometimes criminal climate that populates Russian units serves as a real deterrent to attract qualified soldiers. Not only do current political sensitivities inhibit further reform, but also it is the culture amidst the army itself that needs modernization. For now, any transition to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment will depend on more favorable fiscal conditions and political will to transform age old Russian military climate into one founded on basic respect for others.

While perhaps arguably a relatively esoteric subject prior to 1989, given the recent changes that have taken place in the Soviet Union, U.S. alliance strategy is now on the threshold of a new era--an era in which the Soviet threat is seen by many allies as diminishing. As U.S. officials ponder the implications of a decreased Soviet threat on its many alliances, of which almost all have been threat-based, it will be important to recall the one series of collective security arrangements with allies that has been founded on similarities, vice solely threats. This intimate Anglo-Saxon connection appears to have the needed bases for enduring well into the post-cold-war era.

SN - 0095327X AB - In founding the Army Industrial College in the 1920s, activist U.S. Army logistical officers were not wholeheartedly embracing closer relations with the business sector. World War I had demonstrated to them the need for the military to school itself in mobilizing for industrial-based war. But the war also had presented businessmen as rivals for control of procurement functions. With the knowledge acquired in their planned industrial college, the logistical officers hoped to gain an advantage over civilian dollar-a-year men in any future mobilization. They wanted to improve the Army's performance and simultaneously to achieve for themselves increased professional status and recognition in comparison with the combat arms officers who habitually reaped the lion's share of wartime glory. Seen from this perspective, pre-World War II military-industrial relations appear less close than generally thought and require fresh study.

The author maintains that a proper understanding of Liddell Hart's general theory of war must be drawn from a chronological study of his writings. The paper shows that Liddell Hart's basic conceptual structure was complete by 1933, and had evolved from consideration of small-unit infantry tactics in the World War, through speculation Oh the influence of mechanization and a belief in the existence of lessons in history, to a fundamental belief in the central importance of dislocation Oh battle outcome. In the end, Liddell Hart reminds the soldier that he is engaged in a purposeful activity and one that must be conducted with an eye Oh the consequences.

SN - 0095327X AB - In 1973 West Germany's first military universities opened in Hamburg and Munich. Because of the German past, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has serious reservations about the very idea of military power and armed forces. The founding of the military universities engendered intense public debate over the military's role in a new democratic society and the kind of education its soldiers need. The article examines the historical and political circumstances surrounding the creation of the Bundeswehr universities, the arguments for and against their founding and their curricula and student life. The Bundeswehr continues to face major challenges in legitimizing and maintaining a modern and credible military force in a society that is ultrasensitive to all things military and in which many citizens place an absolute value on peace. The Bundeswehr universities have largely achieved their founders' goals: to attract a sufficient number of talented officers willing to defend their country and able to meet the technological and leadership challenges required by the FRG's armed forces and society.

Neopterin, a product of IFN-γ activated macrophages, was elevated in 94% of patients upon admission (day 0, prior to treatment) and in all at some lime during the period of study. Neopterin levels tended to rise further (days 1-5) before falling back towards the normal range as patients recovered following effective chemotherapy (days 6-8). IFN-γ was measured in 32 patients and found to be directly related to neopterin concentration. Both neopterin and IFN-γ values were highest in patients experiencing a first malaria infection. Among those with histories of prior malaria, neopterin and IFN-γ levels were inversely related to the number of previous infections. Morbidity, as assessed by degree and duration of lever, was directly related to neopterin concentration. This longitudinal study quantitatively describes the extent and duration of macrophage activation in falciparum malaria. The data also suggest that with repeated malaria infection and antigen exposure, there is a progressive decrease or possibly suppression of the T cell macrophage interaction mediated by IFN-γ.

The prevalence of HB markers was 20 per cent. and hepatitis A antibody was present in 25 per cent. A six-month follow-up, conducted on 260 individuals initially negative for all four tests, revealed that 11 of these were now HB seropositive, whereas none had seroconverted to anti-HA positive. The HB virus was the principal agent responsible for hepatitis in the unit surveyed. (Am J Public Health 69:1216-1219, 1979.)

In this context, the researchers explained that land disposal of domestic wastewater has been practiced on a large scale in Europe mainly for the purpose of irrigating crops or pasture. The health and hygiene aspects of wastewater treatment or wastewater reclamation by spray irrigation were also addressed. Many of the basic principles are applicable to the other methods of land disposal such as surface flooding and ridge and furrow irrigation.

We sought to discover factors that might allow us to predict which mothers would have more negative attitudes toward preterm infants, Using the concept of hedonic relevance, we hypothesized that any negative variable associated with having a preterm child would lead to more negative attitudes toward that child. We administered a modified form of the Schaefer and Bell Parental Attitude Research Instrument, and also a questionnaire on various background variables to 52 women who had recently borne a premature child. Correlational analysis supported our hypothesis. Some of the most significant correlates of negative maternal attitudes were: the mother being young (r = .40), non-white (r = .34), and less religious (r = .34), having had a brief marriage so far (r = .27), and feeling responsible for the child being premature (r = -.37), with probability levels ranging from .05 to .01. These data constitute the beginnings of a profile which health professionals can use to spot potentially negative mothers who might need special preventive attention.

SN - 07353936 AB - Available data indicates that the incidence of malpractice in military psychiatry, involving both civilian and active duty beneficiaries, is the lowest of all specialties and may be lower than in the civilian sector. Recovery for malpractice damages by means of claim versus suit is restricted to civilian patients; active duty service members recover through a special disability system. The federal government provides military psychiatrists with considerable protection from personal financial loss when involved in malpractice, but there may be limits to that protection. There have been recent efforts to criminally prosecute military physicians in some instances. A registry review of military psychiatry malpractice cases from 1978 to 1987 provides a profile of the malpractice situation and suggests areas of practice that need vigilance. The Department of Defense has established a broad-based, comprehensive program of quality assurance and risk management in the interest of maximizing the benefit of medical care and minimizing substandard practice.

Interest in this criterion has led to the development of a proposed systematic methodology for obtaining a near optimal mean-squared-error estimator for the mean of a discrete, random event, autocorrelated process which has experienced a transient start-up condition. Application of the methodology to a pilot simulation process provides an experimenter with specific guidance in terms of the number of warm-up observations to delete and the number of simulation replications to conduct. Investigations with simple autoregressive and queueing processes have indicated that the methodology may be applicable to other simulation processes. The methodology may offer a possible alternative to the widely used rules-of-thumb employed by simulation practitioners for specifying simulation model operating conditions.

These rates were evaluated spatially and related to selected shorezone characteristics. One hundred and six of the bluff sites are experiencing retreat that averages 0.4 m (1.3 ft) per year. Although amounts vary significantly, average values show that (1) rates are similar for opposite sides of the lake but (2) values differ between northern and southern Wisconsin. In addition, dune-encompassed bluffs tend to recede at lower long-term rates than nondune bluffs. Groundwater seepage, shoreline orientation and fetch, and shorezone protective structures are some of the factors found to influence bluff crest recession. Data from this study indicate that extensive Lake Michigan shorezone tracts will continue to experience bluff recession measurable in meters per decade unless lake levels are relatively low or unless protective devices of massive proportion are constructed along much of the shoreline.

Through all phases, racial segregation in schools and patterns of resistance to change have been influenced significantly by residential segregation at the local level and by the racial composition of the population at broader scales. The impending fifth phase, which is likely to be a return to some form of dual school system, has been prompted by a movement of white people to private schools and other bold reactions. Such reactions resulted from Federal Government orders to desegregate schools contrary to residential segregation, a most fundamental facet of the spatial structure of the society.

Data taken at the Army-maintained desert test station near Yuma, Arizona, provide some basic lower and upper limits to vertical solar and total sky radiation, ground-surface temperature, dew-point temperature, wind speed, and wind direction during occurrence of higher temperatures. However, even the more favorable combinations of the surface conditions do not provide an adequate explanation for occurrence of the higher recorded temperatures at the proving ground. The apparent key is the temperature of the air layer between 850 and 650 mbs. If this layer is warm, and a mechanism exists for bringing the air down to the surface, high ambient air temperatures result. The mechanism may be the vertical exchange induced by the afternoon convection, or it may be the fohn effect brought about by the synoptic pattern.

For quartz in water, the three equations of different settling regimes correspond approximately to: very fine sand; fine to coarse sand; and very coarse sand.

Here we consider noise models in which a perturbation breaks a symmetry of the noise, so that if S is a DFS under a given noise process it is no longer so under the new perturbed noise process. We ask whether there is a subspace or subsystem that is more robust to the perturbed noise than S. To answer this question we develop a numerical method that allows us to search for subspaces or subsystems that are maximally robust to arbitrary noise processes. We apply this method to a number of examples, and find that a subsystem that is a DFS is often not the subsystem that experiences minimal noise when the symmetry of the noise is broken by a perturbation. We discuss which classes of noise have this property.

This would eliminate the need for an optical reference oscillator in the scheme of Tsang and Caves (2010 Phys. Rev. Lett.105 123601), along with its associated disadvantages. We also show that if one is restricted to position measurements alone then two copies of the same two-oscillator configuration can be used for narrow-band back-action-free force metrology.

Using an expanded deformation potential approach, we present a theoretical study of the electron-phonon self-energy and scattering matrix elements across the entire Brillouin zone. We elucidate the roles of modulated hopping and conventional deformation potential coupling, parameterized via standard deformation potentials, the in-plane phonon modes, intra- and interband contributions, and umklapp processes. Applying the theory to nonlinear optical transmission spectroscopy in the vicinity of the M point, we find very good agreement with recently published experimental data.

In most periglacial and many extraglacial landscapes the direct effects of the activity are in ample evidence. Even though the effects may not be directly apparent, it is generally accepted that alternate freezing and thawing contribute to the evolvement of the landscape wherever the process occurs with some frequency. Whereas studies have been made of the frequency of freeze-thaw, seemingly little attention has been focused on the inferences which might be drawn from an analysis of the activity on a regional basis.

The multilayer heterostructures consisted of three distinct layers of ∼220 nm nominal thickness with compositions corresponding to BST 63/37, BST 78/22, and BST 88/12. At room temperature, the heterostructure has a small-signal dielectric permittivity of 360 with a dissipation factor of 0.012 and a dielectric tunability of 65% at 444 kV/cm. These properties exhibited minimal dispersion as a function of temperature ranging from 90 to -10 °C. These results are explained via a thermodynamic model that incorporates electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical interactions between BST layers.

Due to their complex architecture, shock waves in GRP undergo geometric and material dispersion as well as attenuation with distance of shock wave propagation. In the present study a series of plate impact experiments is conducted to investigate the structure of shock waves in the GRP. The effects of material and geometric dispersion as well as the GRP’s hydrodynamic response on the attenuation of the shock waves are considered. It is observed that the hydrodynamic effects dictate the structure of shock waves in the GRP.

Considering carrier-phonon scattering, a deformation potential coupling constant of 14 eV is determined. Theory predicts the low-field mobility, conductance, and on resistance of field-effect transistors as a function of nanotube diameter and temperature. When the device is in the on state, the mean free path (Lm-on) varies linearly with tube diameter and inversely with temperature. Intersubband scattering is found to strongly decrease Lm-on when a few subbands are occupied.

New techniques were used to demonstrate the detectable persistence of mustard metabolites in the patient's blood for at least 41 days after exposure, validating these techniques for the first time for a human mustard patient: they were also used for the first time with human mustard blister fluid. The techniques extend eightfold the period of time that mustard exposure can be definitively diagnosed, compared with previous techniques. Although this patient's lesions were never life-threatening, he required 2 weeks of intensive bum care. He has been left with ongoing posttraumatic stress disorder and has had an incomplete dermatological recovery. In a major terrorist attack involving many patients exposed to sulfur mustard, care resources would be depleted quickly.

Using the frequency tripled output from a Ti:sapphire laser, the authors obtained PL spectra covering the ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared regions. In the UV, a dominant band edge emission at 3.23 eV was observed at room temperature; this is redshifted by 0.19 eV from the band edge emission of undoped GaN. An activation energy of 191 meV was obtained from the thermal quenching of the integrated intensity of the 1.54 μm emission line. This value coincides with the redshift of the band edge emission and is assigned to the ErGa-VN complex level.

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies revealed that screw- and edge-type dislocations were reduced to 4.4×107 and 1.7×107 cm-2, respectively, for a ∼5.5-μm-thick layer. Furthermore, room temperature carrier lifetimes of 2.22 and 2.49 ns were measured by time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) for samples containing single and double SiNx network layers, respectively, representing a significant improvement over the previous studies. The consistent trends among the TEM, x-ray diffraction, and TRPL measurements suggest that in situ SiNx network reduces line defects effectively as well as the point-defect-related nonradiative centers.

Room temperature near-field scanning optical microscopy studies explicitly showed enhanced optical quality in the wing regions of the overgrown GaN due to reduced density of dislocations, and for the a-plane ELO GaN sample the wings and the windows were clearly discernible from PL mapping. Time-resolved PL measurements revealed biexponential decays with time constants that were significantly enhanced for the a-plane ELO GaN (τ1=0.08 ns, τ2=0.25 ns) when compared to the non-ELO control sample but were still much shorter than those for the c-plane ELO GaN (τ1=0.26 ns, τ2=0.90 ns).

The authors show that in high-quality SiC/SiO2-based devices, this is not necessarily the case. Magnetic resonance and electrical measurements indicate that in relatively high quality 4H-SiC metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistors, there exist relatively high concentrations of intrinsic deep level defect centers extending below the SiC/SiO2 interface into the SiC bulk. The primary defect observed is almost certainly an intrinsic defect of high symmetry, most likely a silicon vacancy center.

Using typical 4-f configuration, when liquid crystal cell is at back focal plane of Fourier lens, low spatial frequencies at center of Fourier spectrum are intense enough to induce local liquid crystal molecules into isotropic phase, whereas high spatial frequencies on the edges are not intense enough and remain in anisotropic phase. This results in π/2 phase difference between high and low spatial frequencies. This simple, inexpensive, all-optical, user-friendly, self-adaptive phase contrast imaging technique using low-power laser offers several distinct advantages.

EFS is pinned around 0.2 eV above the top of the GaSb valence band when the GaSb cap layer width is greater than around 900 Å. For smaller GaSb cap widths, EFS decreases with the GaSb width. The undoped GaSb/InAs/AlSb heterostructure’s Fermi level is determined by bulk donor defects in the AlSb layer adjacent to the InAs quantum well.

The optical and electrical properties of the Er-doped GaN epilayers were studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and van der Pauw–Hall method. Both above and below band gap excitation results in a sharp PL emission peak at 1.54 μm. In contrary to other growth methods, MOCVD grown Er-doped GaN epilayers exhibit virtually no visible emission lines. A small thermal quenching effect, with only a 20% decrease in the integrated intensity of the 1.54 μm PL emission, occurred between 10 and 300 K. It was found that Er incorporation has very little effect on the electrical conductivity of the GaN epilayers and Er-doped layers retain similar electrical properties as those of undoped GaN.

Using the output at 197 nm from a quadrupled Ti:sapphire laser, narrow PL emission was observed at 318 nm, characteristic of the trivalent Gd ion. A broader emission band, also centered at 318 nm, was measured with excitation at 263 nm. The PL emission intensity decreased by less than a factor of 3 over the sample temperature range of 10–300 K and decay transients were of the order of nanoseconds.

The terahertz amplitude, normalized to pump and probe power, from both narrow band gap semiconductors remains relatively constant over the excitation wavelength range. In addition, terahertz radiation from In- and N-face InN samples with bulk carrier concentrations ranging from 1017 to 1019 cm-3 is also investigated, showing a strong dependence of terahertz emission on bulk carrier concentration. The experimental results agree well with calculations based on drift-diffusion equations incorporating momentum conservation and relaxation.

All samples were postannealed at 675 °C. The films exhibited strong photoluminescence (PL) in the red (622 nm) whose absolute intensity was a function of the Ga flux during growth, which ranged from 3.0×10-7 to 5.4×10-7 Torr. The maximum PL intensity was obtained at a Ga flux of 3.6×10-7 Torr. The samples showed room temperature ferromagnetism with saturation magnetization of ∼0.1–0.45 emu/cm3, consistent with past reports where the Eu was found to be predominantly occupying substitutional Ga sites. There was an inverse correlation between the PL intensity and the saturation magnetization in the films. X-ray diffraction showed the presence of EuGa phases under all the growth conditions but these cannot account for the observed magnetic properties.

Enhancements of 0.04–0.11 eV were achieved for Au deposition on p-GaN under the same conditions. The increase in barrier height on n-GaN persists for annealing temperatures up to ∼200 °C. At higher annealing temperatures, both types of diodes show a deterioration in rectifying behavior. The reverse current of low temperature deposited diodes was approximately two orders of magnitude lower than conventional Au/n-GaN diodes. The ideality factor of the cryogenically processed n-type devices (∼1.06) was similar to that for room temperature diodes (1.13). This simple process method has potential for improving output resistance and power gain and lowering gate leakage current and noise in GaN-based transistors.

JO - Military Medicine JF - Military Medicine Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 171 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 830 EP - 832 PB - AMSUS SN - 00264075 AB - Recent outbreaks of mysterious skin lesions on multiple personnel at several military facilities were initially blamed on spiders. Requests were made for pest inspection and control to remedy the situation. Greater scrutiny of the situation led to a hypothesis that instead of spiders, an infectious outbreak of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) should be investigated as the etiology. Subsequent culturing of the lesions on personnel at one facility confirmed this bacterial etiology. Barracks, as well as other close quarter military living conditions, are ripe environments for the establishment, persistence, and spread of CA-MRSA. Military medical personnel should consider CA-MRSA as a more likely etiologic agent than spider bites for cutaneous eruptions in which there are multiple lesions on one person or multiple patients with similar lesions.

The Gd concentration was under the detection limit of secondary ion mass spectrometry, and estimated to be on the order of <1017 at./cm3. As expected at this low dopant concentration, x-ray diffraction measurements showed the films to be single phase. Gd-doped samples codoped with Si to make them conducting with resistivity of 0.04 Ω cm showed similar magnetic properties as Gd-doped films without addition of Si.

The InGaAsP is selected as the barrier material to provide a large photoconductive gain, and the well is made of InGaAs/InP superlattice to achieve a broadband absorption. These features are expected to increase the photocurrent of the detector under a broadband source. For quantitative comparison, we also fabricate a quantum well GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice detector with a similar spectrum. Dark current noise measurement indicates that the gain of the InGaAs/InGaAsP detector is 4.6 times larger than that of the reference detector, thus confirming the present design concept.

Superior surface morphology with step-flow growth features is achieved consistently under In-rich conditions in a low-temperature region of 500–540 °C. Remarkably, off-axis x-ray rocking curve (ω scans) widths are found to be independent of the growth conditions. The band gap determined from optical absorption measurements of optimized InN is 0.651 eV, while photoluminescence peak emission occurs at even lower energies of ∼0.626 eV. Hall measurements show room temperature peak electron mobilities as high as 2370 cm2/V s at a carrier concentration in the low 1017 cm-3 region. Analysis of the thickness dependence of the carrier concentration demonstrates a n-type surface accumulation layer with a sheet carrier concentration of ∼3×1013 cm-2.

GaN buffer layers grown in the Ga-droplet regime prior to the InN deposition significantly improved the surface morphology of InN films grown with excess In flux. Using this approach, In-polar InN films have been realized with room temperature electron mobilities as high as 2250 cm2/V s. We correlate electron concentrations in our InN films with the unintentionally incorporated impurities, oxygen and hydrogen. A surface electron accumulation layer of 5.11×1013 cm-2 is measured for In-polar InN. Analysis of optical absorption data provides a band gap energy of ∼0.65 eV for the thickest InN films.

In addition, near infrared emission lines were also observed at ∼0.97, ∼1.2, and ∼1.5 μm arising from the 4F5/2,2H9/2 states of Nd3+. The emission efficiency at 1.5 μm was determined to be 74% for Nd:PbBr2 and 64% for Nd:PbI2 with peak emission cross sections in the range of (0.2–0.5)×10-20 cm2. These cross sections are comparable to those of Er3+ doped materials employed in optical communications and eye-safe lasers.

It was thought that an increased hydraulic conductivity with increasing sample volume remains valid for pilot-scale cutoff wall W3. A soil bentonite wall plays a significant role on the water balance in the barrier pit. The hydraulic conductivity of the treated concrete is believed to be low. However, the magnitude of seepage of the concrete walls was important since the soil-bentonite wall of the hydraulic conductivity was also low.

In the range of the calculated length (1–5.0 nm) of the tubes, the calculations predict a ballistic transport in BNT and find a relatively low resistance for BNTs as compared to that of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of comparable length. A lower resistance in the case of BNT than the CNT may be attributed to electron-deficient nature of boron characterized by the presence of two-center, and multicenter bonds in the former.

The strengthening is found to increase linearly with the reciprocal of the mean SF spacing, d. In this study we analyze dislocation interactions with SFs, and then propose a physics-based model to explain the observed relationship between yield strength and SFs spacing. Similar to the empirical Hall-Petch relationship for grain size, it is expected that this strengthening mechanism will hold true for a variety of materials engineered with parallel spaced stacking faults over a wide range of fault spacing.

The oscillator is a hybrid dynamical system with governing equations that include a linear second order ordinary differential equation with negative damping and a discrete switching condition that controls the oscillatory fixed point. The system produces provably chaotic oscillations with a topological structure similar to either the Lorenz butterfly or Rössler's folded-band oscillator depending on the configuration. Exact solutions are written as a linear convolution of a fixed basis pulse and a sequence of discrete symbols. We find close agreement between the exact analytical solutions and the physical oscillations. Waveform return maps for both configurations show equivalence to either a shift map or tent map, proving the chaotic nature of the oscillations.

The probe head is vibration-isolated well enough from the environment by a three-spring suspension system that the cantilever achieves thermal equilibrium with the environment without the aid of eddy current damping. The probe uses an ultra-soft Si cantilever with a Ni sphere attached to its tip, and magnetic resonance is registered as a change in the resonant frequency of the driven cantilever. The RF system uses frequency sweeps for adiabatic rapid passage using a 500 μm diameter RF coil wound around a sapphire rod. The RF coil and optical fiber of the interferometer used to sense the cantilever's position are both located with respect to the cantilever using a Garbini micropositioner, and the sample stage is mounted on an Attocube nanopositioner.

The negative polarization induced charge at the aluminum gallium nitride (AlxGa1-xN)/aluminum nitride (AlN) interface in conjunction with the positive polarization charge at the AlN/SiC interface creates a large barrier to carrier transport across the interface that results in the selective collection of electrons photoexcited to the Γ and L valleys of SiC while blocking the transport of electrons generated in the M valley. In addition, the AlxGa1-xN alloys act as transparent windows that enhance the collection of carriers generated by high energy photons in the fully depleted SiC absorption regions. These two factors combine to create a peak external quantum efficiency of 76% at 242 nm, along with a strong suppression of the long-wavelength response from 260 nm to 380 nm.

JO - Electrochemistry Communications JF - Electrochemistry Communications Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 31 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 12 SN - 13882481 AB - Abstract: In order to demonstrate whether the sulfur cathode of a liquid electrolyte lithium/sulfur (Li/S) cell requires good mixing, we intentionally prepare the following three cathodes: (1) Cathode A made by spreading a sulfur/carbon disulfide solution onto a porous carbon electrode, (2) Cathode B made by laminating a porous carbon layer and a pure sulfur layer together, and (3) Cathode C made by soaking a carbon cloth into a sulfur/carbon disulfide solution and then evaporating the solvent. Without any milling treatments, the large yellow sulfur particles/crystals are visually visible in all three cathodes. Even using these cathodes without mixing of the sulfur and conducting carbon, the Li/S cells still exhibit initial discharge capacities of 1218, 1337, and 966mAhg−1 for Cathodes A, B, C, respectively, and maintain comparable capacity retentions as compared with the conventional Li/S cells. These results reveal that the initial mixing status of the cathode does not affect the cycling performance of Li/S cells. In this paper, we discuss our results from the viewpoint of the Li/S fundamental chemistry and suggest more effective approaches for the performance improvement.

This nonlinear oscillator includes an ordinary differential equation and a discrete switching condition. The chaotic waveform generated by this hybrid system is used as the transmitted waveform. The oscillator admits an exact analytic solution that can be written as the linear convolution of binary symbols and a single basis function. This linear representation enables coherent reception using a simple analog matched filter and without need for digital sampling or signal processing. An audio frequency implementation of the transmitter and receiver is described. Successful acoustic ranging measurements in the presence of noise and interference from a second chaotic emitter are presented to demonstrate the viability of the approach.

Substitutional N on the oxygen (O) sublattice is a deep acceptor; however, shallow acceptor complexes involve N, H, and zinc vacancies (VZn). Combining secondary ion mass spectrometry, Raman-scattering, photoluminescence, and Hall-effect data, we establish the evolution of N from its initial incorporation on a Zn site to a final shallow acceptor complex VZn_NO_H+ with an ionization energy of ca. 130 meV. This complex is responsible for the observed p-type behavior.

These moving fronts propagate within intact substance leaving behind them intensively damaged substance. These fronts were coined as failure waves. The failure waves can be modeled differently—in this letter they are modeled as sharp interfaces separating two states: the intact and comminuted states. Several penetration experiments with transparent glasses and ceramics have shown that failure fronts have an extremely rough morphology. We suggest a simple thermodynamic theory which allows interpreting appearance of the roughness as a manifestation of morphological instability of failure fronts. For the case of isotropic phases the instability criterion is presented in explicit form.

The surface region is dominated by monohydride species with dihydrides present in small amounts. Fluorine is distributed across the top layer as largely a physisorbed species to the Si substrate. Low-energy 3He+ ions remove the H and F species with only minimal damage to the underlying region.

Such dehydration can impair cognitive and physical performance. Some portion of exercise-induced dehydration may be offset by changing the perceptual biases of soldiers when filling and drinking from canteens. Using comparably sized water bottles, we investigated this perceptual bias with 50 Army and Marine ROTC students by showing that those given short, wide, clear water bottles poured and drank more water than those given taller bottles that held the same volume. Even although those given short, wide water bottles poured 38% more water, they did not perceive themselves as having poured or drunk more. The implications for decreasing dehydration in the field and in garrison are discussed.

The DNA samples from herring and salmon, as well as the protein Ovalbumin sample, have been characterized. The modeling technique is described. The reflection spectra have resonance features similar to those demonstrated earlier for transmission, thereby reaffirming molecular vibrational modes in biological materials. The dispersion of refractive index and absorption coefficient is demonstrated within the Terahertz gap of 10 cm-1 to 25 cm-1. The data yielded higher refractive index and absorption coefficient for the single stranded salmon DNA than for the double stranded counterpart, with several different vibrational modes.

The advantages of this detector include widely separated peaks, narrow linewidths, and negligible spectral cross-talk. The four colors demonstrated are widely distributed from mid-infrared to long-infrared, and are centered at 4.5, 5.3, 8.3, and 10.4 μm. Each spectral peak is well defined and the corresponding linewidth is 0.58, 0.71, 0.83, and 1.01 μm, respectively (corresponding to Δλ/λ<0.14). The detector structure consists of two stacks of superlattice materials that are separated by a middle contact layer. Each material is designed to detect two specific wavelengths, tunable by the bias polarity. Four-color detection is achieved by applying different combinations of top and bottom bias relative to the common middle contact and reading out the optical signals sequentially from these two contacts. Using an appropriate bias sequence, the detector can be made sensitive to only one color at a time and the signals from the other colors are negligible. With this detection scheme, one can select different combinations of detection wavelengths and linewidths over a wide spectral range. This design thus greatly increases the flexibility of QWIPs in multicolor imaging.

The Department of Defense (DoD) offers a robust prescription benefit to 8.8 million beneficiaries. This benefit has evolved to meet changes in technology and patient requirements. The PharmacoEconomic Center (PEC) was established as the first pharmacy benefit manager entity in 1992, primarily in response to rapidly rising DoD pharmacy program expenditures. In its short history, the PEC has dramatically improved patient safety and decreased costs. To accelerate the efficiency and effectiveness the enterprise-wide pharmacy benefit manager has already achieved, DoD should increase the funding, staff, and authority of the PEC.

Raman spectra and high resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging show films of high quality. The graphene/boron-nitride/SiO2 devices have a significantly increased peak electron/hole mobility of 3400/2200 cm2/Vs with a reduced effective doping density over reference graphene/SiO2 devices. The mobility dependence as a function of carrier density is compared with a physically based empirical model and is in agreement with the improvements due to a consistent reduction in the substrate induced phonon and impurity scattering and an improvement in the overall surface quality owed to the boron-nitride interlayer that separates the graphene from the SiO2. Large-area G/BN thin films are promising for future high performance thin film electronic devices.

In this study, the dispersion of the TE and TM indices of refraction has been measured systematically using the prism coupling technique for an orthorhombic ZnSiN2 epitaxial layer grown on r-plane sapphire. The resulting index dispersion is extracted from the measured optical modes using a layered biaxial waveguide analysis, which shows that although the ZnSiN2 crystal is orthorhombic, for practical purposes it can be treated as a uniaxial material.

In addition, GaMnN deposited using growth parameters normally yielding a nonferromagnetic film becomes strongly ferromagnetic with the addition of magnesium, an acceptor dopant. Based upon these observations, it seems that ferromagnetism in this material system depends on the relative position of the Mn energy band and the Fermi level within the GaMnN band gap. Only when the Fermi level closely coincides with the Mn-energy level is ferromagnetism achieved. By actively engineering the Fermi energy to be within or near the Mn energy band, room temperature ferromagnetism is realized.

This intense emission is characterized by a long room-temperature lifetime (∼375 ps) comparable to that seen in low defect density (∼108 cm-2) GaN. Room-temperature monochromatic cathodoluminescence images at the redshifted peak reveal spatially nonuniform emission similar to that observed in In(Al)GaN alloys and attributed to compositional inhomogeneity. These observations suggest that spatial localization enhances the luminescence efficiency despite the high defect density (>1010 cm-2) of the films by inhibiting movement of carriers to nonradiative sites.

The response from SAM-APDs with PICCL thickness less than 10 nm has an anomalous shape at all bias attributed to the collection of carriers generated directly in the SiC layer. Devices with a 15 nm thick PICCL exhibit GaN related response at high bias that is indicative of punch-through of the electric field into the GaN absorption region due to optimization of the net interface charge.

JO - Journal of Computational Acoustics JF - Journal of Computational Acoustics Y1 - 2012/06// VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1240003-1 EP - 1240003-16 PB - World Scientific Publishing Company SN - 0218396X AB - Through finite difference time domain (FDTD) numerical simulation, we have studied the possible observation settings to improve the cost effectiveness in time-reversal (TR) source relocation in a two-dimensional (2D) urban setting under a number of typical scenarios. All scenario studies were based on the FDTD computation of the acoustic wave field resulted from an impulse source, propagated through an artificial village composed of 15 buildings and a set of sources and receivers, a typical urban setting has been extensively analyzed in previous studies. The FDTD numerical modeling code can be executed on an off-the-shelf graphic processor unit (GPU) that increases the speed of the time-reversal calculations by a factor of 200. With this approach the computational results lead to some significant conclusions. In general, using only one non-line-of-sight (NLOS) single receiver is not enough to do a quality work to re-locate the source via time-reversal. This is particularly true when there are more than one path between the source and this receiver with similar wave energy travel time. However, when the single sensor is located in an acoustic channel, reverberation inside the waveguide may increase the effective aperture of the single receiver enough to give a good location. It is equivalent to say that the waveguide and the single receiver form a "virtual array". It appears that a sensor array with a minimum number of three receivers might be the most cost-effective way to carry out TR source relocation in an urban environment. The most optimal geometry of a sensor array with a minimum number of three receivers could be an equal side-length triangle. Simple analysis showed that by this setup it is possible to catch sound sources from almost all possible azimuths. Effective source relocation essentially depends on the geometry, relativity to the scatters, etc. of the sensing array. Generally, adding another single sensor relatively far away from the main array will not improve the results. It is practically useful and achievable to have a sensor array mounted on the outside of a single building, and in these cases successful source relocations were obtained. As stated by the fundamental TR theory, increasing the number of scatters, here, increasing the number of buildings will definitely be helpful to increase the effectiveness of TR source relocation.

Holocene alluvial landforms are intimately connected with the return of anadromous salmon, but the influence of the soils that occupy these landforms and support this important terrestrial–aquatic ecological coupling have not been examined in SDN studies. We used paleo-ecologic information, soil resource inventories and measurements of soil morphology to construct a soil-geomorphic model for alluvial landforms along salmon spawning channels on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, USA. Post-glacial sea-level rise, crustal uplift and subsidence combined with Holocene sediment deposition have formed alluvial terraces and floodplains along rivers on Prince of Wales Island. These alluvial landforms have soils that are mapped as Entisols (Tonowek soil series) and Spodosols (Tuxekan soil series). We propose a soil-geomorphic model where the Spodosols located on terraces are estimated to derive from sediments deposited after the stabilization of landscape approximately 8kybp to 6kybp. The stability of these soils is reflected through mature soil development with organic matter accumulation and podzolization. Our model identifies Entisols on floodplains developed from alluvial deposition in the latter Holocene that have soil morphologic features consistent with recent deposition and limited soil development. We used this soil-geomorphic model to test the hypothesis that the terrestrial end-member value commonly used to quantify nitrogen (N) loading on soils through stable isotope analysis differs by soil type and found that the two soil types had significantly different N isotopic (δ 15N) values more consistent with soil development than SDN loading. The use of a soil-geomorphic model provides a means to stratify alluvial landforms and constrain the natural variability encountered in studies of riparian nutrient cycles associated with the feedbacks between SDN and terrestrial ecosystems to improve estimates of the fate of SDN in soils and vegetation.

Y. Tsao, S. Hooshangi, H. C. Wu, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, Metab. Eng. 12:291-297, 2010). Earlier observations that the metabolic potential of Escherichia coli is conveyed via the QS signaling molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2) suggested that the capacity for protein synthesis could also be affected by AI-2 signaling (M. P. DeLisa, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, J. Bacteriol. 183:2918-2928, 2001). In this work, we found that simply adding conditioned medium containing high levels of AI-2 at the same time as inducing the synthesis of recombinant proteins doubled the yield of active product. We have hypothesized that AI-2 signaling "conditions" cells as a natural consequence of cell-to-cell communication and that this could tweak the signal transduction cascade to alter the protein synthesis landscape. We inserted luxS (AI-2 synthase) into vectors which cosynthesized proteins of interest (organophosphorus hydrolase [OPH], chloramphenicol acetyltrans- ferase [CAT], or UV-variant green fluorescent protein [GFPuv]) and evaluated the protein expression in luxS-deficient hosts. In this way, we altered the level of luxS in the cells in order to "tune" the synthesis of AI-2. We found conditions in which the protein yield was dramatically increased. Further studies demonstrated coincident upregulation of the chaperone GroEL, which may have facilitated higher yields and is shown for the first time to be positively regulated at the posttranscriptional level by AI-2. This report is the first to demonstrate that the protein synthesis capacity of E. coli can be altered by rewiring quorum sensing circuitry.

The novel models allow for accurate reanalyses and are useful in many applications where the model of the pristine structure may not capture the changes in the system-level response due to component-level parameter variations. Herein, such models are obtained by using a novel approach based on a modified concept of component mode synthesis. The novel models, referred to as parametric reduced-order models, are developed for the general case of multiple substructures with parameter variabilities. Three types of parameteric variabilities are considered: (a) geometric (thickness) variability, (b) structural deformations (dents), and (c) cracks. For the first case, a novel parametrization of component-level mass and stiffness matrices is employed to predict the system-level response. For the second case, a novel approximate method based on static mode compensation is implemented. For the third case (cracks), a generalized formulation for the bi-linear frequency approximation is used. The predicted vibration responses of complex structures are shown to agree very well with results obtained using a much more computationally expensive commercial tool.

With the goal of controlling the onset of armature ejecta, a series of single-shot tests was conducted in a small railgun with a bore cross section of 22 \times 44 mm. The tests utilized channels of various sizes and geometries machined into the rail contact surface of the armatures to see if ejecta could be controlled. These tests identified several channel patterns as having the potential to delay the onset of armature ejecta. A series of multiple-shot tests was subsequently conducted in a larger railgun having a bore cross section of 38 \times 76 mm. The goal of these experiments was to see if the channel patterns that delayed armature ejecta had a significant impact on rail erosion at start-up. Three test series were conducted. In the first series, three armatures with a nested circular channel pattern were tested. In the second series, three armatures with a large centrally located channel were tested. Both armature designs used equivalent contact areas. These results were then compared to a standard armature contact face with no modifications in a third test series.

To determine if overall expression, solubility, and recovery of the F1-V fusion protein could be enhanced, we modified the original fusion. Standard recombinant DNA techniques were used to reverse the gene order such that the V antigen coding sequence was fused at its C-terminus to the N-terminus of F1. The F1 secretion signal sequence (F1S) was subsequently fused to the N-terminus of V. This new fusion protein, designated F1S-V-F1, was then co-expressed with the Y. pestis Caf1M periplasmic chaperone protein in BL21-Star Escherichia coli. Recombinant strains expressing F1-V, F1S-F1-V, or F1S-V-F1 were compared by cell fractionation, SDS–PAGE, Western blotting, and suspension immunolabelling. F1S-V-F1 exhibited enhanced solubility and secretion when co-expressed with Caf1M resulting in a recombinant protein that is processed in a similar manner to the native F1 protein. Purification of F1S-V-F1 was accomplished by anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The purification method produced greater than 1mg of purified soluble protein per liter of induced culture. F1S-V-F1 polymerization characteristics were comparable to the native F1. The purified F1S-V-F1 protein appeared equivalent to F1-V in its ability to be recognized by neutralizing antibodies.

The present study determined UVC inactivation slopes (and derived D values) of viruses dried onto nonporous (glass) surfaces. The data obtained indicate that the UV resistance of Lassa virus is higher than that of Ebola virus. The UV sensitivity of vaccinia virus (a surrogate for variola virus) appeared intermediate between that of the two virulent viruses studied. In addition, the three viruses dried on surfaces showed a relatively small but significant population of virions (from 3 to 10 % of virus in the inoculum) that appeared substantially more protected by their environment from the effect of UV than the majority of virions tested. The findings reported in this study should assist in estimating the threat posed by the persistence of virus in environments contaminated during epidemics or after an accidental or intentional release.

All speech signals were captured and recorded using a Temco HG-17 BCM. Twelve locations on or close to the skull were selected for the BCM placement. In the first study, listeners evaluated the intelligibility and quality of the bone conducted speech signals presented through traditional earphones. Listeners in the second study evaluated the intelligibility and quality of signals presented through a loudspeaker. In the third study the signals were reproduced through a bone conduction headset; however, signal evaluation was limited to speech intelligibility only. In all three studies, the Forehead and Temple BCM locations yielded the highest intelligibility and quality rating scores. The Collarbone location produced the least intelligible and lowest quality signals across all tested BCM locations.

Site specific best management practices (BMP) are needed to curb erosion and sediment control and in turn, increase productivity of lands and sustain environmental quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of three different types of biodegradable erosion control blankets- fine compost, mulch, and 50–50 mixture of compost and mulch, for soil erosion control under field and laboratory-scale experiments. Quantitative analysis was conducted by comparing the sediment load in the runoff collected from sloped and tilled plots in the field and in the laboratory with the erosion control blankets. The field plots had an average slope of 3.5% and experiments were conducted under natural rainfall conditions, while the laboratory experiments were conducted at 4, 8 and 16% slopes under simulated rainfall conditions. Results obtained from the field experiments indicated that the 50–50 mixture of compost and mulch provides the best erosion control measures as compared to using either the compost or the mulch blanket alone. Laboratory results under simulated rains indicated that both mulch cover and the 50–50 mixture of mulch and compost cover provided better erosion control measures compared to using the compost alone. Although these results indicate that the 50–50 mixtures and the mulch in laboratory experiments are the best measures among the three erosion control blankets, all three types of blankets provide very effective erosion control measures from bare-soil surface. Results of this study can be used in controlling erosion and sediment from disturbed lands with compost mulch application. Testing different mixture ratios and types of mulch and composts, and their efficiencies in retaining various soil nutrients may provide more quantitative data for developing erosion control plans.

JO - Toxins JF - Toxins Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 3 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 207 EP - 217 SN - 20726651 AB - Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) comprise seven distinct serotypes that inhibit the release of neurotransmitter across neuromuscular junctions, resulting in potentially fatal flaccid paralysis. BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A), which targets synaptosomal-associated protein of 25kDa (SNAP-25), is particularly long-lived within neurons and requires a longer time for recovery of neuromuscular function. There are currently no treatments available to counteract BoNT/A after it has entered the neuronal cytosol. In this study, we examined the ability of small molecule non-peptidic inhibitors (SMNPIs) to prevent SNAP-25 cleavage post-intoxication of neurons. The progressive cleavage of SNAP-25 observed over 5 h following 1 h BoNT/A intoxication was prevented by addition of SMNPIs. In contrast, anti-BoNT/A neutralizing antibodies that strongly inhibited SNAP-25 cleavage when added during intoxication were completely ineffective when added post-intoxication. Although Bafilomycin A1, which blocks entry of BoNT/A into the cytosol by preventing endosomal acidification, inhibited SNAP-25 cleavage post-intoxication, the degree of inhibition was significantly reduced versus addition both during and after intoxication. Post-intoxication application of SMNPIs, on the other hand, [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Toxins is the property of MDPI Publishing and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries JF - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 21 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 127 EP - 151 SN - 09603166 AB - Early approaches to surgical implantation of electronic tags in fish were often through trial and error, however, in recent years there has been an interest in using scientific research to identify techniques and procedures that improve the outcome of surgical procedures and determine the effects of tagging on individuals. Here we summarize the trends in 108 peer-reviewed electronic tagging effect studies focused on intracoleomic implantation to determine opportunities for future research. To date, almost all of the studies have been conducted in freshwater, typically in laboratory environments, and have focused on biotelemetry devices. The majority of studies have focused on salmonids, cyprinids, ictalurids and centrarchids, with a regional bias towards North America, Europe and Australia. Most studies have focused on determining whether there is a negative effect of tagging relative to control fish, with proportionally fewer that have contrasted different aspects of the surgical procedure (e.g., methods of sterilization, incision location, wound closure material) that could advance the discipline. Many of these studies included routine endpoints such as mortality, growth, healing and tag retention, with fewer addressing sublethal measures such as swimming ability, predator avoidance, physiological costs, or fitness. Continued research is needed to further elevate the practice of electronic tag implantation in fish in order to ensure that the data generated are relevant to untagged conspecifics (i.e., no long-term behavioural or physiological consequences) and the surgical procedure does not impair the health and welfare status of the tagged fish. To that end, we advocate for (1) rigorous controlled manipulations based on statistical designs that have adequate power, account for inter-individual variation, and include controls and shams, (2) studies that transcend the laboratory and the field with more studies in marine waters, (3) incorporation of knowledge and techniques emerging from the medical and veterinary disciplines, (4) addressing all components of the surgical event, (5) comparative studies that evaluate the same surgical techniques on multiple species and in different environments, (6) consideration of how biotic factors (e.g., sex, age, size) influence tagging outcomes, and (7) studies that cover a range of endpoints over ecologically relevant time periods.

JO - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries JF - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 21 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 9 SN - 09603166 AB - The intracoelomic surgical implantation of electronic tags (including radio and acoustic telemetry transmitters, passive integrated transponders and archival biologgers) is frequently used for conducting studies on fish. Electronic tagging studies provide information on the spatial ecology, behavior and survival of fish in marine and freshwater systems. However, any surgical procedure, particularly one where a laparotomy is performed and the coelomic cavity is opened, has the potential to alter the survival, behavior or condition of the animal which can impair welfare and introduce bias. Given that management, regulatory and conservation decisions are based on the assumption that fish implanted with electronic tags have similar fates and behavior relative to untagged conspecifics, it is critical to ensure that best surgical practices are being used. Also, the current lack of standardized surgical procedures and reporting of specific methodological details precludes cross-study and cross-year analyses which would further progress the field of fisheries science. This compilation of papers seeks to identify the best practices for the entire intracoelomic tagging procedure including pre- and post-operative care, anesthesia, wound closure, and use of antibiotics. Although there is a particular focus on salmonid smolts given the large body of literature available on that group, other life-stages and species of fish are discussed where there is sufficient knowledge. Additional papers explore the role of the veterinarian in fish surgeries, the need for minimal standards in the training of fish surgeons, providing a call for more complete and transparent procedures, and identifying trends in procedures and research needs. Collectively, this body of knowledge should help to improve data quality (including comparability and repeatability), enhance management and conservation strategies, and maintain the welfare status of tagged fish.

JO - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries JF - Reviews in Fish Biology & Fisheries Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 21 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 35 EP - 42 SN - 09603166 AB - Many telemetry-based studies require that fish be sampled from the wild and then held both prior to and after the implantation of an electronic tag. However, the effects of such holding (or the lack thereof) have yet to be studied intensively. Pre-surgical holding often occurs to facilitate logistical needs of research projects and as an attempt to minimize negative physiological effects due to capture and handling stress. Further, post-surgical holding time and conditions greatly influence the physiological state of fish prior to being returned to the wild. This paper reviews pertinent studies pertaining to the effects of surgical holding on the behavior, physiology, and survival of fishes, with particular emphasis on juvenile salmonids. The effects of individual aspects of surgical holding such as handling, water quality, light conditions, holding density, metabolic scope, and duration of holding are reviewed. Recommendations regarding certain aspects of surgical holding are offered with a goal of reducing bias related to the surgical process.

JO - Psychology & Aging JF - Psychology & Aging Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 26 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 126 SN - 08827974 AB - Young and older adults studied word pairs and later discriminated studied pairs from various types of foils including recombined word-pairs and foil pairs containing one or two previously unstudied words. We manipulated how many times a specific word pair was repeated (1 or 5) and how many different words were associated with a given word (1 or 5) to tease apart the effects of item familiarity from recollection of the association. Rather than making simple old/new judgments, subjects chose one of five responses: (a) Old-Old (original), (b) Old-Old (rearranged), (c) Old-New, (d) New-Old, (e) New-New. Veridical recollection was impaired in old age in all memory conditions. There was evidence for a higher rate of false recollection of rearranged pairs following exact repetition of study pairs in older but not younger adults. In contrast, older adults were not more susceptible to interference than young adults when one or both words of the pair had multiple competing associates. Older adults were just as able as young adults to use item familiarity to recognize which word of a foil was old. This pattern suggests that recollection problems in advanced age are because of a deficit in older adults' formation or retrieval of new associations in memory. A modeling simulation provided good fits to these data and offers a mechanistic explanation based on an age-related reduction of working memory.

However, the systematic study of these groups is somewhat limited. The Internet is a valuable tool for investigating ideological group behavior because it is easily accessible and commonly used by these groups. This study attempted to extend previous research by examining online message boards to assess processes particular to ideological group membership. A content analysis was conducted on several group process variables using 29 groups with message boards. A Kruskal-Wallis test with follow-up pairwise comparisons was used to find that violent ideological groups differed from nonviolent ideological and nonviolent nonideological groups on 7 group process variables and 3 content variables. Implications are discussed.

Methods: In anesthetized and mechanically ventilated healthy dogs ( n = 3), we introduced the INC via a flexible bronchoscope into the right caudal lung lobe and administered escalating dosages of gemcitabine (1, 2, 3, or 6 mg/kg) followed by cisplatin (10 mg/m2). Treatments were performed every 2 weeks for 4 treatments and dogs were monitored weekly with physical examination, biochemical tests, and thoracic radiographs. Dogs were sacrificed 2 weeks after the final treatment and tissues examined histologically. A radiologic grading scheme was developed to monitor subclinical pulmonary toxicity. Results: No significant side effects occurred in any dog. All dogs developed focal pneumonitis radiographically, and chronic, severe pneumonia with fibrosis histologically limited to the treated portion of the lung. Radiologic scores increased over time following increasing doses of chemotherapy. Conclusions: Targeted aerosol delivery of gemcitabine and cisplatin by INC was clinically well tolerated. This minimally invasive method is promising for lung cancer treatment, especially given the lack of clinical toxicity. The proposed radiologic grading scheme provides a method to monitor subclinical local drug toxicity.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2011/03// VL - 141 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 373 EP - 379 SN - 00223166 AB - The effects of dietary calcium (Ca) deficiency on skeletal integrity are well characterized in growing and mature mammals; however, less is known about Ca nutrition during the neonatal period. In this study, we examined the effects of neonatal Ca nutrition on bone integrity, endocrine hormones, and mesenchymal stem cell IMSC) activity. Neonatal pigs (24 ± 6 h of age) received either a Ca-adequate (1.2 g/100 g) or an ∼40% Ca-deficient diet for 18 d. Ca deficiency reduced (P < 0.05) bone flexural strength and bone mineral density without major differences in plasma indicators of Ca status. There were no meaningful differences in plasma Ca, phosphate (PO4), parathyroid hormone, or 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol due to Ca nutrition throughout the study. Calcium deficiency also reduced (P < 0.05) the in vivo proliferation of MSC by ∼50%. In vitro studies utilizing homologous sera demonstrated that MSC activity was affected (P < 0.05) by both the Ca status of the pig and the sera as well as by their interaction. The results indicate that neonatal Ca nutrition is crucial for bone integrity and suggest that early-life Ca restriction may have long-term effects on bone integrity via programming of MSC.

As with many new and emerging technologies, the potential individual and societal benefits associated with nanotechnology are substantial. At the same time, very little is known about the potential adverse consequences associated with nanotechnology, especially as it relates to potential adverse environmental, health, and safety (EHS) impacts. In this paper, we explore a number of risk---related issues pertaining to nanotechnology. We begin with a cursory review of the economic dimensions of nanotechnology, taking note of several relevant trends and projections for nanotechnology global markets. We then discuss some of the risk management challenges that government regulators face in addressing the potential EHS risks associated with nanotechnology. Finally, we turn our attention to the conceptual and methodological challenges that global insurers and reinsurers currently face in assessing and managing this emerging risk. As part of this discussion, we sketch the rudiments of a multi---criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework that seeks to aid insurance underwriters and risk managers in their efforts to structure and evaluate complex decisions involving nanomaterials.

Results show that in certain solvent ratios, both solvents are able to increase the specific capacity of carbon in Li/O2 and Li/air cells. More interestingly, the improvement in discharge performance of the Li/air cells increases with discharge current density. These results cannot be explained by the ionic conductivity and viscosity data of the electrolytes since the participation of fluorinated co-solvents hardly changes viscosity of the solvent blends while reversely reduces ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. In particular, we find that a 30wt.% (vs. solvent) addition of TTFP into a 0.2m (molality) LiSO3CF3 PC electrolyte can significantly improve the discharge performance of Li/air cells, and that the resultant electrolyte is able to support long-term operation of Li/air cells in dry ambient environments due to its low volatility. We believe that the observed performance improvement is associated with the increased dissolution kinetics and solubility of oxygen in fluorinated solvent containing electrolyte.

This incorporated argon causes expansion by increasing the porosity when the material is annealed. The resulting annealed material can be classified as metal foam due to its highly porous nature. The most porous samples were measured to have nearly 50% porosity. This effect was observed in nominally pure copper and an alloy of 81at% palladium and 19at% zirconium.

The effects of cryomilling processing on chemistry, particle morphology, and microstructure of the Mg alloy powder are described and discussed. The experimental results show that cryomilling for 8h yields nc Mg agglomerates, approximately 30μm in size, with an internal average grain size of approximately 40nm. The mechanisms that are thought to be responsible for deformation twins that were observed in the cryomilled AZ80 powder are discussed. The cryomilled Mg powder was subsequently consolidated using SPS at 250, 300 and 350°C. The consolidated material consisted of a bimodal microstructure with nc fine and coarse grains formed in the SPS’ed Mg AZ80 microstructure. Inside of the coarse grains, nano-sized Mg17Al12 precipitates were observed. A maximum microhardness of 140HV, compressive yield strength of 442.3MPa, and ultimate strength of 546MPa are measured, which compare favorably to published values for conventional Mg alloys.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/02/15/ VL - 45 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1506 EP - 1512 SN - 0013936X AB - Diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) sediment probes for methylmercury (MMHg) were successfully deployed for up to 30 h in three mudflat sediments in San Francisco Bay for measuring labile fractions of dissolved MMHg in pore water. Our calculations show that the local DGT-induced depletion of MMHg in sediment pore waters should be fully compensated by the natural in situ MMHg production and its subsequent remobilization from the solid phase. DGT results were interpreted in terms of labile pore water concentration and provide MMHg concentration depth profiles with a centimeter resolution. Average concentrations of DGT-labile MMHg were 2.10 ± 0.29 and 1.64 ± 0.30 ng L-1 at China Camp and Hamilton Army Airfield sediment pore waters, respectively, while the riverine location at Petaluma showed a distinct peak of 7.1 ng L-1 near the sediment surface. Using isotope-enriched mercury species, high resolution depth profiles of MMHg net production rates ranging from 0.2 to 9.8 ng g-1 d-1 were obtained in parallel sediment cores sampled closely to DGT deployment sites. A positive, linear relationship between MMHg net production rates and labile MMHg concentrations acquired through DGT measurements was found and explained 79% of the variability in the data set. The latter illustrates that mercury methylation, a biogeochemical process, strongly affected the quantity of MMHg accumulated by the DGT device in the sediment and suggests that DGT measurements have the potential to predict net methylation rates.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2011/02/15/ VL - 83 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1315 EP - 1320 SN - 00032700 AB - An analysis method has been developed for determining tow parts-per-quadrillion by volume (ppqv) concentrations of nerve agent VX vapor actively sampled from ambient air. The method utilizes glass bead filled depot area air monitoring system (DAAMS) sampling tubes with isopropyl alcohol extraction and isotope dilution using liquid chromatography coupled with a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS) with positive ion electrospray ionization for quantitation. The dynamic range was from one-tenth of the worker population limit (WPL) to the short-term exposure limit (STEL) for a 24 L air sample taken over a 1 h period. The precision and accuracy of the method were evaluated using liquid-spiked tubes, and the collection characteristics of the DAAMS tubes were assessed by collecting trace level vapor generated in a 1000 L continuous flow chamber. The method described here has significant improvements over currently employed thermal desorption techniques that utilize a silver fluoride pad during sampling to convert VX to a higher volatility G-analogue for gas chromatographic analysis. The benefits of this method are the ability to directly analyze VX with improved selectivity and sensitivity, the injection of a fraction of the extract, quantitation using an isotopically labeled internal standard, and a short instrument cycle time.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2011/02/15/ VL - 85 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1581 EP - 1593 SN - 0022538X AB - Vaccinia virus (VV) mutants lacking the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding E3L protein (ΔE3L mutant VV) show restricted replication in most cell types, as dsRNA produced by VV activates protein kinase R (PKR), leading to eIF2α phosphorylation and impaired translation initiation. Here we show that cells infected with ΔE3L mutant VV assemble cytoplasmic granular structures which surround the VV replication factories at an early stage of the nonproductive infection. These structures contain the stress granule-associated proteins G3BP, TIA-1, and USP10, as well as poly(A)-containing RNA. These structures lack large ribosomal subunit proteins, suggesting that they are translationally inactive. Formation of these punctate structures correlates with restricted replication, as they occur in >80% of cells infected with ΔE3L mutant VV but in only 10% of cells infected with wild-type VV. We therefore refer to these structures as antiviral granules (AVGs). Formation of AVGs requires PKR and phosphorylated eIF2α, as mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking PKR displayed reduced granule formation and MEFs lacking phosphorylatable eIF2α showed no granule formation. In both cases, these decreased levels of AVG formation correlated with increased ΔE3L mutant VV replication. Surprisingly, MEFs lacking the AVG component protein TIA-1 supported increased replication of ΔE3L mutant VV, despite increased eIF2α phosphorylation and the assembly of AVGs that lacked TIA-1. These data indicate that the effective PKR-mediated restriction of ΔE3L mutant VV replication requires AVG formation subsequent to eIF2α phosphorylation. This is a novel finding that supports the hypothesis that the formation of subcellular protein aggregates is an important component of the successful cellular antiviral response.

Gamma rays that could not have encountered the detector do not need shielding. This simple optimization principle leads to a quartic shape for a full aperture collimator of minimal volume for a generic detector. Both cylindrical and spherical cases are derived, and the results compare very favorably with other common configurations and collimator shapes, such as standard cylindrical apertures and parallel-hole masks. For one example of collimating 2.615MeV gamma rays, a quartic collimator reduces the required volume by over 70% from a standard cylindrical collimator.

While the molecular structural parameters showed little dependence on the pseudopotential used, the overall volume and lattice vector lengths were substantially improved by the use of DCACPs. DCACP predictions of lattice vector lengths are within 1.3% of experiment, corresponding to an approximately 2% error in density. Conversely, DFT underestimates crystal densities by 5−10%. The results indicate that DCACPs substantially compensate for the inadequate description of van der Waals interactions in DFT. Additionally, comparison of DCACP predictions with analogous calculations using an alternate dispersion corrected DFT method indicate while both show an improvement over traditional DFT methods in describing van der Waals interactions for the molecular crystals in this study, the DCACP method is more accurate in predicting lattice vectors.

In order to develop toxicity data for safety assessment, we investigated the genotoxicity of NTO, using a battery of genotoxicity tests, which included the Ames test, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell chromosome aberration test, L5178Y TK+/− mouse lymphoma mutagenesis test and rat micronucleus test. NTO was not mutagenic in the Ames test or in Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA). NTO did not induce chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells, with or without metabolic activation. In the L5178Y TK+/− mouse lymphoma mutagenesis test, all of the NTO-treated cultures had mutant frequencies that were similar to the average frequencies of solvent control-treated cultures, indicating a negative result. Confirmatory tests for the three in vitro tests also produced negative results. The potential in vivo clastogenicity and aneugenicity of NTO was evaluated using the rat peripheral blood micronucleus test. NTO was administered by oral gavage to male and female Sprague–Dawley rats for 14 days at doses up to 2g/kg/day. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood demonstrated no significant induction of micronucleated reticulocytes relative to the vehicle control (PEG-200). These studies reveal that NTO was not genotoxic in either in vitro or in vivo tests and suggest a low risk of genetic hazards associated with exposure.

The data deluge has begun with genomes of over 65 different aquatic species that are currently being sequenced, and many times that number with at least some level of transcriptome sequencing. Integrating these top-down methodologies is an essential task in the field of systems biology. Systems biology is a biology-based interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions in biological systems, with the intent to model and discover emergent properties of the system. Recent studies demonstrate that Omics technologies provide valuable insight into ecotoxicity, both in laboratory exposures with model organisms and with animals exposed in the field. However, these approaches require a context of the whole animal and population to be relevant. Powerful approaches using reverse engineering to determine interacting networks of genes, proteins, or biochemical reactions are uncovering unique responses to toxicants. Modeling efforts in aquatic animals are evolving to interrelate the interacting networks of a system and the flow of information linking these elements. Just as is happening in medicine, systems biology approaches that allow the integration of many different scales of interaction and information are already driving a revolution in understanding the impacts of pollutants on aquatic systems.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/02// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 345 EP - 353 SN - 07307268 AB - Potentially toxic nitroaromatic and nitramine compounds are introduced onto soils during detonation of explosives. The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces. Environ. Toxicol.

Here we report that, after alloying Mg with 10at.% Ti, deformation twins are observed in an nc Mg–Ti alloy processed by mechanical attrition. The formation of deformation twins is attributed to the alloying effect, which may change the energy path for twinning. These results point to a promising approach to design nc hcp alloys for superior mechanical properties.

The PtCo nanoparticles with different surface coverage of Pt atoms were synthesized with various methods, including normal chemical method, microemulsion synthesis, and ultrasound-assisted microemulsion. A model of Pt atoms filling into a spherical nanoparticle was proposed to explain the relationship of surface metal atoms and nanoparticle size. The catalytic activity of the PtCo nano-particles is highly dependent on the synthetic methods, even if they have the same chemical composition. The PtCo nano-particles synthesized with ultrasound-assisted microemulsion showed the highest activity, which is attributed to an increase of active surface coverage of Pt atoms on the metal nanoparticles. The rate of oxygen reduction at 0.5V (vs. SCE) catalyzed by the PtCo synthesized with ultrasound-assisted micro-emulsion was about four times higher than that of the PtCo synthesized with normal chemical method. As demonstrated with rotating-ring disk electrode measurement, the PtCo nano-particles can catalyze oxygen 4-electron reduction to water without intermediate H2O2 detected.

In a prior survey of bacteria that colonize the rhesus macaque nasopharynx, performed at the Tulane National Primate Research Center, organisms of the Moraxella genus were isolated from animals with epistaxis, or “bloody nose syndrome.” They were biochemically identified as Moraxella catarrhalis, and cryopreserved. Another isolate was obtained from an epistatic cynomolgus macaque at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. Based on differences in colony and cell morphologies between rhesus and human M. catarrhalis isolates, we hypothesized that the nonhuman primate Moraxella might instead be a different species. Despite morphological differences, the rhesus isolates, by several biochemical tests, were indistinguishable from M. catarrhalis. Analysis of the cynomolgus isolate by Vitek 2 Compact indicated that it belonged to a Moraxella group, but could not differentiate among species. However, sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene from four representative rhesus isolates and the cynomolgus isolate showed closest homology to Moraxella lincolnii, a human respiratory tract inhabitant, with 90.16% identity. To examine rhesus macaques as potential hosts for M. catarrhalis, eight animals were inoculated with human M. catarrhalis isolates. Only one of the animals was colonized and showed disease, whereas four of four macaques became epistatic after inoculation with the rhesus Moraxella isolate. The nasopharyngeal isolates in this study appear uniquely adapted to a macaque host and, though they share many of the phenotypic characteristics of M. catarrhalis, appear to form a genotypically distinct species.

Results indicated that PP fibers greatly enhanced fracture toughness; however, strength of the VE was significantly reduced as voids were observed at the interface of the PP and VE. A two-step surface modification, oxygen plasma treatment followed by grafting vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS), was conducted on PP fibers in an effort to improve interfacial strength. Interfacial discontinuities of composites were improved after surface modification of PP. The oxygen plasma treatment added hydrophilic functional groups but caused surface roughness. Surface treatment of PP slightly increased fracture toughness of the PP-VE composite by enhancing energy absorption capacity at the interface. However, mechanical strength and modulus did not significantly increase for the composite using VTMS grafted PP fibers due to the weak fiber material. Small PP fibers with higher strength may attain the expected improvement in mechanical properties after surface treatment.

The chemical attributes of RDX are conducive for leaching to surface water which may put aquatic organisms at risk of exposure. Because RDX has been observed to cause aberrant neuromuscular effects across a wide range of animal phyla, we assessed the effects of RDX on central nervous system (CNS) functions in the representative aquatic ecotoxicological model species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). We developed a fathead minnow brain-tissue cDNA library enriched for transcripts differentially expressed in response to RDX and trinitrotoluene (TNT) exposure. All 4,128 cDNAs were sequenced, quality filtered and assembled yielding 2230 unique sequences and 945 significant blastx matches (E ≤10−5). The cDNA library was leveraged to create custom-spotted microarrays for use in transcript expression assays. The impact of RDX on transcript expression in brain tissue was examined in fathead minnows exposed to RDX at 0.625, 2.5, 5, 10mg/L or an acetone-spike control for 10 days. Overt toxicity of RDX in fathead minnow occurred only at the highest exposure concentration resulting in 50% mortality and weight loss. Conversely, Bayesian analysis of microarray data indicated significant changes in transcript expression at concentrations as low as 0.625mg/L. In total, 154 cDNAs representing 44 unique transcripts were differentially expressed in RDX exposures, the majority of which were validated by reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Investigation of molecular pathways, gene ontology (GO) and individual gene functions affected by RDX exposures indicated changes in metabolic processes involved in: oxygen transport, neurological function, calcium binding/signaling, energy metabolism, cell growth/division, oxidative stress and ubiquitination. In total, our study indicated that RDX exposure affected molecular processes critical to CNS function in fathead minnow.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2011/01/15/ VL - 45 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 666 EP - 672 SN - 0013936X AB - Quantification of emissions of fugitive particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere from military training operations is of interest by the United States Department of Defense. A new range-resolved optical remote sensing (ORS) method was developed to quantify fugitive PM emissions from puff sources (i.e., artillery back blasts), ground-level mobile sources (i.e., movement of tracked vehicles), and elevated mobile sources (i.e., airborne helicopters) in desert areas that are prone to generating fugitive dust plumes. Real-time, in situ mass concentration profiles for PM mass with particle diameters <10 μm (PM10) and <2.5 μm (PM2.5) were obtained across the dust plumes that were generated by these activities with this new method. Back blasts caused during artillery firing were characterized as a stationary short-term puff source whose plumes typically dispersed to <10 m above the ground with durations of 10-30 s. Fugitive PM emissions caused by artillery back blasts were related to the zone charge and ranged from 51 to 463 g PM/firing for PM10 and 9 to 176 g PM/firing for PM2.5. Movement of tracked vehicles and flying helicopters was characterized as mobile continuous sources whose plumes typically dispersed 30-50 m above the ground with durations of 100-200 s. Fugitive PM emissions caused by moving tracked vehicles ranged from 8.3 to 72.5 kg PM/km for PM10 and 1.1 to 17.2 kg PM/km for PM2.5, and there was no obvious correlation between PM emission and vehicle speed. The emission factor for the helicopter flying at 3 m above the ground ranged from 14.5 to 114.1 kg PM/km for PM10 and 5.0 to 39.5 kg PM/km for PM2.5, depending on the velocity of the helicopter and type of soil it flies over. Fugitive PM emissions by an airborne helicopter were correlated with helicopter speed for a particular soil type. The results from this range-resolved ORS method were also compared with the data obtained with another path-integrated ORS method and a Flux Tower method.

A new method is described here that was developed to complete in situ rapid response measurements of PM mass emissions from fugitive dust sources by use of optical remote sensing (ORS) and an anemometer. The ORS system consists of one ground-based micropulse light detection and ranging (MPL) device that was mounted on a positioner, two open path-Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometers, and two open path-laser transmissometers (OP-LT). An algorithm was formulated to compute PM light extinction profiles along each of the plume's cross sections that were determined with the MPL. Size-specific PM mass emission factors were then calculated by integrating the light extinction profiles with particle mass extinction efficiencies (determined with the OP-FTIRs/OP-LTs) and the wind's speed and direction. This method also quantifies the spatial and temporal variability of the plume's PM mass concentrations across each of the plume's cross sections. Example results from three field studies are also described to demonstrate how this new method is used to determine mass emission factors as well as characterize the dust plumes' horizontal and vertical dimensions and temporal variability of the PM's mass concentration.

The microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which shows that they consist of small RDX crystals (∼0.1–1μm) uniformly and discretely dispersed in a binder. The microparticles were subsequently pressed to produce dense energetic materials which exhibited a markedly lower shock sensitivity. The low sensitivity was attributed to small crystal size as well as small void size (∼250nm). The method developed in this work may be suitable for the preparation of a wide range of insensitive explosive compositions.

JO - Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics JF - Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics Y1 - 2011/01/15/ VL - 49 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 123 EP - 135 SN - 08876266 AB - Transparent poly(urethane urea) (TPUU) materials offer an avenue to enable material designs with potential to achieve simultaneous enhancements in both physical and mechanical properties. To optimize the performance required for each application, the molecular features that influence the microstructure, the glass transition temperature ( Tg), the deformation mechanisms, and the mechanical deformation behavior must be understood and exploited. In this work, a comprehensive materials characterization of select model PUUs with tunable microstructures is addressed. Increasing the hard segment (HS) content increases the stiffness and flow stress levels, whereas altering the soft segment (SS) molecular weight from 2000 to 1000 g/mol leads to an enhanced phase mixing with a SS Tg shifted ∼17 °K toward higher temperatures as well as broadening of the SS relaxation closer to room temperature. As a result, the 1K TPUU materials display greater rate-dependent stiffening and strain hardening on mechanical deformation over the broad range of strain rates covered in this work (10−3 to 104 s−1). In such case of similar urea-based HS content, the molar content of the urethane linkages, per stoichiometric requirements, is much higher in the 1K TPUUs than the 2K TPUUs. These additional urethane moieties lead to an increase in the extent of intermolecular interactions, via hydrogen bonding between the HS and the SS, providing not only further phase mixing and stronger rate sensitivity but also provide 1K TPUUs with drastically improved barrier properties. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The optimal online power management strategy is developed using machine learning and fuzzy logic. A machine learning algorithm has been developed to learn the knowledge about minimizing power loss in a Multiple Power Sources and Loads (M_PS&LD) system. The algorithm exploits the fact that different power sources used to deliver a load request have different power losses under different vehicle states. The machine learning algorithm is developed to train an intelligent power controller, an online fuzzy power controller, FPC_MPS, that has the capability of finding combinations of power sources that minimize power losses while satisfying a given set of system and component constraints during a drive cycle. The FPC_MPS was implemented in two simulated systems, a power system of four power sources, and a vehicle system of three power sources. Experimental results show that the proposed machine learning approach combined with fuzzy control is a promising technology for intelligent vehicle power management in a M_PS&LD power system.

JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2011/01/04/2011 Supplement 3 VL - 5 IS - Suppl 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: State Space Model (SSM) is a relatively new approach to inferring gene regulatory networks. It requires less computational time than Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBN). There are two types of variables in the linear SSM, observed variables and hidden variables. SSM uses an iterative method, namely Expectation- Maximization, to infer regulatory relationships from microarray datasets. The hidden variables cannot be directly observed from experiments. How to determine the number of hidden variables has a significant impact on the accuracy of network inference. In this study, we used SSM to infer Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from synthetic time series datasets, investigated Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and Principle Component Analysis (PCA) approaches to determining the number of hidden variables in SSM, and evaluated the performance of SSM in comparison with DBN. Method: True GRNs and synthetic gene expression datasets were generated using GeneNetWeaver. Both DBN and linear SSM were used to infer GRNs from the synthetic datasets. The inferred networks were compared with the true networks. Results: Our results show that inference precision varied with the number of hidden variables. For some regulatory networks, the inference precision of DBN was higher but SSM performed better in other cases. Although the overall performance of the two approaches is compatible, SSM is much faster and capable of inferring much larger networks than DBN. Conclusion: This study provides useful information in handling the hidden variables and improving the inference precision.

The present study addresses this need through the development of the Employee Perceptions of Participatory Ergonomics Questionnaire (EPPEQ). The questionnaire is designed to assess five key components that are based on a review of the available literature: Employee Involvement, Knowledge Base, Managerial Support, Employee Support, and Strain related to ergonomic changes. In Phase 1, a sample of employees and ergonomists working at a manufacturing plant was used to develop and test an initial set of items. In Phase 2, data was collected from a nation-wide sample of employees representing a wide range of jobs and organizations to cross-validate the results from Phase 1. Phase 2 results indicate that the five EPPEQ subscales demonstrate sound convergent validity and are also correlated with traditional indicators of PE program success. Implications and uses of the EPPEQ are discussed.

Furthermore, there is no data to determine the suitability of said media for biological pathogens, specifically those of interest to the US military. This study evaluates commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) transport media based on sample recovery, viability, and quality of nucleic acids and peptides for nonpathogenic strains of Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, in addition to ricin toxin. Samples were stored in COTS, PBST, or no media at various temperatures over an extended test period. The results demonstrate that COTS media, although sufficient for the preservation of nucleic acid and proteinaceous material, are not capable of maintaining an accurate representation of biothreat agents at the time of collection.

JO - International Journal of Microbiology JF - International Journal of Microbiology Y1 - 2011/01// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 5 SN - 1687918X AB - Development of a rapid field test is needed capable of determining if field supplies of water are safe to drink by the warfighter during a military operation. The present study sought to assess the effectiveness of handheld assays (HHAs) in detecting ricin and Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB) in water. Performance of HHAs was evaluated in formulated tap water with and without chlorine, reverse osmosis water (RO) with chlorine, and RO with bromine. Each matrix was prepared, spiked with ricin or SEB at multiple concentrations, and then loaded onto HHAs. HHAs were allowed to develop and then read visually. Limits of detection (LOD) were determined for all HHAs in each water type. Both ricin and SEBwere detected byHHAs in formulated tapwater at or below the suggested health effect levels of 455 ng/mL and 4.55 ng/mL, respectively. However, in brominated or chlorinated waters, LODs for SEB increased to approximately 2,500 ng/mL. LODs for ricin increased in chlorinated water, but still remained below the suggested health effect level. In brominated water, the LOD for ricin increased to approximately 2,500 ng/mL. In conclusion, the HHAs tested were less effective at detecting ricin and SEB in disinfected water, as currently configured.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 30 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 22 EP - 38 SN - 07307268 AB - The toxicological effects of many stressors are mediated through unknown, or incompletely characterized, mechanisms of action. The application of reverse engineering complex interaction networks from high dimensional omics data (gene, protein, metabolic, signaling) can be used to overcome these limitations. This approach was used to characterize adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for chemicals that disrupt the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in fathead minnows (FHM, Pimephales promelas). Gene expression changes in FHM ovaries in response to seven different chemicals, over different times, doses, and in vivo versus in vitro conditions, were captured in a large data set of 868 arrays. Potential AOPs of the antiandrogen flutamide were examined using two mutual information-based methods to infer gene regulatory networks and potential AOPs. Representative networks from these studies were used to predict network paths from stressor to adverse outcome as candidate AOPs. The relationship of individual chemicals to an adverse outcome can be determined by following perturbations through the network in response to chemical treatment, thus leading to the nodes associated with the adverse outcome. Identification of candidate pathways allows for formation of testable hypotheses about key biological processes, biomarkers, or alternative endpoints that can be used to monitor an AOP. Finally, the unique challenges facing the application of this approach in ecotoxicology were identified and a road map for the utilization of these tools presented. Environ. Toxicol.

The injection velocity is provided by a 26-mm-diameter conventional propellant gun. A plasma armature is assumed for the railgun. A capacitor-based pulsed-power supply, located at Barricade C, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, is assumed to provide the electrical energy for boosting the velocity to 2.5 km/s. Various scenarios are examined with respect to electrical pulse shape, the effect on stored electrical energy, and its distribution in the railgun. Three types of comparisons are used to illustrate the effect of injection velocity on stored electrical energy: 1) efficiency; 2) peak loads; and 3) energy storage. Examples for each category are discussed, illustrating complementary areas for propellant gun and railgun operation. Results are promising; however, the initial velocity must be considered in detailed simulations in order for any advantages to be realized.

The methodology quantifies the robustness of alternative portfolios across a variety of scenarios and identifies the scenarios that greatly affect the assessments. An innovation of the methodology is to elicit, for each scenario, only a few relative increases or decreases in importance of selected terms of the value function, which is more efficient than a full elicitation of the value function for each scenario. The identification of critical scenarios via our methodology can be used to focus resource-intensive and potentially costly modeling activities. The methodology integrates preference orders, centroid weights, and the Borda method. In a demonstration, the methodology assesses the relative sea level and other climate-change scenarios that could affect the performance of coastal protections.

Due to various advances in pre-hospital care and training, under-resuscitation of patients with severe burns is now relatively uncommon. Over-resuscitation, otherwise known as "fluid creep", has emerged as one of the most important problems during the initial phases of burn care over the past decade. To avoid the complications of over-resuscitation, careful hourly titration of fluid rates based on compilation of various clinical end points by a bedside provider is vital. The aim of this review is to provide a practical approach to the resuscitation of severely burned patients.

We determined the density and size distribution of Burkholderia pseudomallei cells in comparison with other Burkholderia species, including B. mallei and B. thailandensis, all prepared and analyzed under similar conditions. The observed size distribution and densities of several bacterial strains indicates that aerosolized particles consisting of one or of a few B. pseudomallei cells should be efficiently retained in the lungs, highlighting the risk of transmission of melioidosis by the respiratory route when the pathogen is present in fluids from infected patients or aerosolized from the environment.

Minimal data exists about the use of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) for menstrual suppression in this population. Post-deployment survey was undertaken to establish prevalence of continuous OCP use, perceived barriers, and associations with menstrual burden in a military population within the austere environment. Methods: Voluntary and anonymous 44-item questionnaire. Results: Of 500 women, 78% (n = 390) had personal experience using OCPs and 66% (n = 330) desired menstrual suppression. However, only 40% (n = 192) reported any OCP use and only 21% (n = 99) reported continuous use during deployment. Sixty-seven percent of women reported some difficulty in daily pill compliance and nearly half (45%) missed ≥1 pill per week in the austere setting. Continuous users were nearly twice as compliant as conventional users (p = .019) and compliant OCP users reported significantly less menstrual burden than noncompliant users (p = .017). Almost all women (85%) desired mandatory education about menstrual suppression through OCPs. Conclusion: Despite OCP experience and desire for amenorrhea, prevalence of extended cycle OCP use in this population is low. Extended OCPs users in the austere setting report improved compliance and reduced menstrual burden compared with conventional users. Education about OCPs is highly desirable for most military women and may benefit those in austere settings.

The three viscoelasticity models employed are a one-term generalized Maxwell model (comprising one Maxwell element and an additional spring in parallel), a two-term generalized Maxwell model (including two Maxwell elements and an additional spring in parallel), and a four-parameter Burgers model. The values of the parameters involved in each model are extracted from the experimental data obtained in this study. The stress relaxation tests reveal that the stress starts to decay exponentially for a short duration and then continues to decrease linearly with time. It is found that the initial relaxation response of the composite is predicted fairly well by all of the four models, while the long-time stress relaxation behavior is more accurately predicted by the para-rheological model. The accuracy of each model in describing the stress relaxation behavior of the composite is quantitatively compared.

Although the conventional approach based on a two-beam condition has been commonly used to acquire weak-beam dark-field (WBDF) TEM images for dislocation structure characterization, it is very challenging to employ this technique to study nanocrystalline materials, especially when the grains are less than 100nm in diameter. Compared to the conventional two-beam approach, the method described in this paper is more conducive for obtaining high-quality WBDF-TEM images. Furthermore, the method is suitable for studying samples with both nanocrystalline and coarse-grains. A trimodal Al metal-matrix-composite (MMC) consisting of B4C particles, a nanocrystalline Al (NC-Al) phase, and a coarse-grained Al (CG-Al) phase has been reported to exhibit an extremely high strength and tailorable ductility. The dislocations in both NC-Al and CG-Al phases of the trimodal Al MMCs at different fabrication stages were examined using the HCDF method described. The influence of the dislocation density in both NC-Al and CG-Al phases on the strength and ductility of the composite is also discussed.

While timeframes are dependent on numerous variables, a primary controlling factor is the level of pre-planning and decision-making completed prior to chemical release. What follows is the second of a two-part analysis identifying key considerations, critical information and decision criteria to facilitate post-attack and post-decontamination consequence management activities. Decision criteria analysis presented here provides first-time, open-literature documentation of multi-pathway, health-based remediation exposure guidelines for selected toxic industrial compounds, chemical warfare agents, and agent degradation products for pre-planning application in anticipation of a chemical terrorist attack. Guideline values are provided for inhalation and direct ocular vapor exposure routes as well as percutaneous vapor, surface contact, and ingestion. Target populations include various employees as well as transit passengers. This work has been performed as a national case study conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles International Airport and The Bradley International Terminal. All recommended guidelines have been selected for consistency with airport scenario release parameters of a one-time, short-duration, finite airborne release from a single source followed by compound-specific decontamination.

The authors used the Everglades Landscape Model and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to explore the effect of simulated ecosystem performance, risk preferences, and criteria weights on the ranking of three alternatives to restoring overland sheet flow in the Everglades. The ecological model outputs included both hydrologic and water quality criteria. Results were scored in the decision analysis framework, highlighting the trade-offs between hydrologic restoration and water quality constraints. Given equal weighting of performance measures, the alternative with more homogenous sheet flow was preferred over other alternatives, despite evidence of some localized eutrophication risk.

In view of the complex nature of the South Florida water resources system, regional-scale (system-wide) hydrologic models have been developed and used extensively for the development of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. In addition, numerous subregional-scale hydrologic and hydrodynamic models have been developed and are being used for evaluating project-scale water management plans associated with urban, agricultural, and inland costal ecosystems. The authors provide a comprehensive summary of models of all scales, as well as the next generation models under development to meet the future needs of ecosystem restoration efforts in South Florida. The multiagency efforts to develop and apply models have allowed the agencies to understand the complex hydrologic interactions, quantify appropriate performance measures, and use new technologies in simulation algorithms, software development, and GIS/database techniques to meet the future modeling needs of the ecosystem restoration programs.

Field tests were conducted at Fort Riley in August 2008 using an M1A1 combat tank, an armored personnel carrier (APC), a heavy expanded mobility tactical truck (HEMTT), and a high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV). These vehicles were operated in spiral patterns to evaluate the effect of different turning radii. Along each spiral in the same rut, each vehicle was driven up to eight passes. A vehicle tracking system (VTS) mounted on each vehicle utilized a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the vehicle dynamics (velocity and turning radius). As expected, compared to a single pass, results show that soil deformation and compaction increased with the increase in the number of passes. Multiple passes and turning maneuvers by vehicles resulted in rut depth increases in the range of 65% to 548%. The results of this study also confirmed that the multi-pass coefficient (α = 2) is appropriate to predict multi-pass rut depth for turning vehicles in loose soils.

The effects of the axial-weld lands between the panels on the buckling strength of unpressurized cylinders are studied, along with the interaction between the acreage stiffener arrangement and the weld land geometry. The relatively thick, unstiffened axial-weld lands are shown to significantly reduce the buckling load when the cylinder is loaded in uniform axial compression, and a relationship between the reduction in buckling load and the orthogrid design is shown. Reducing the width of the weld lands is shown to be the most effective means of minimizing the reduction in buckling strength, and thicker weld lands are shown to not always increase their buckling resistance. Detailed models with individual stiffeners modeled as beams are used to show that the weld land buckling phenomenon is very sensitive to the specific location and geometry of stiffeners near the axial-weld lands. It is also shown that the buckling strength can be significantly improved by ensuring that the distance between the weld land and the adjacent longitudinal stiffener is minimized.

When MFCs were inoculated with C. acetobutylicum, they generated a unique voltage output pattern where two distinct voltage peaks occurred over a weeklong period. This result was markedly different to previously studied organisms which usually generate one sustained voltage peak. Analysis of the fermentation products indicated that the dual voltage peaks correlated with glucose metabolism. The first voltage peak correlated with acidogenic metabolism (acetate and butyrate production) and the second peak with solventogenic metabolism (acetone and butanol production). This demonstrates that MFCs can be applied as a novel tool to monitor the shift from acid production to solvent production in C. acetobutylicum.

Spirituality is defined in the human sense as the journey people take to discover and realize their essential selves and higher order aspirations. Several theoretically and empirically based reasons are articulated for why spirituality is a necessary component of the CSF program: Human spirituality is a significant motivating force, spirituality is a vital resource for human development, and spirituality is a source of struggle that can lead to growth or decline, A conceptual model developed by Sweeney, Hannah, and Snider (2007) is used to identify several psychological structures and processes that facilitate the development of the human spirit. From this model, an educational, computer-based program has been developed to promote spiritual resilience. This program consists of three tiers.' (a) building awareness of the self and the human spirit, (b) building awareness of resources to cultivate the human spirit, and (c) building awareness of the human spirit of others. Further research will be needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative and potentially important program.

The U.S. Army Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) program aims to measure the psychosocial strengths and assets of soldiers as well as their problems, to identify those in need of basic training in a given domain as well as those who would benefit from advanced training, and then to provide that training. The goals of the CSF program include the promotion of well-being as well as the prevention of problems. Assessment is the linchpin of the CSF program, and the Global Assessment Tool (GAT) is a self-report survey that measures psychosocial fitness in emotional, social, family, and spiritual domains. We review the history of psychological assessment in the military and the lessons taught by this history. Then we describe the process by which the GAT was developed and evaluated. We conclude with a discussion of pending next steps in the development and use of the GAT.

Based on the principies of positive psychology, CSF is a historically unique approach to behavioral health in a large (1.1 million members) organization. There are four program elements: (a) the assessment of emotional, social, family, and spiritual fitness; (b) individualized learning modules to improve fitness in these domains; (C) formal resilience training; and (d) training of Army master resilience trainers (MRTs) to instill better thinking skills and resilience in their subordinates. In contrast to traditional approaches, CSF is proactive; rather than waiting to see who has a negative outcome following stress, it provides ways of improving resilience for all members of the Army. CSF aims to move the full spectrum of responses to trauma and adversity-ranging from stress-related disorders to ordinary resilience-toward personal growth. This program may provide a model for implementing similar interventions in other very large institutions.

PC/DME solution as baseline electrolyte, and tetrabutylammonium triflate (NBu4SO3CF3) as an electrolyte additive or a co-salt. Results show that Li/O2 cells can run normally in an electrolyte with NBu4SO3CF3 as the sole conductive salt. However, such cells suffer lower voltage and capacity as compared with those using the lithium ionic baseline electrolyte. This is due to the larger molar volume of quaternary ammonium cation, which results in less deposition of oxygen reduction products on the surface of carbon. When used as an electrolyte additive or a co-salt, the ammonium is shown to increase capacity of Li/O2 cells. The plot of differential capacity versus cell voltage shows that the Li/O2 cell with ammonium added has broad and scatted differential capacity peaks between the voltages of two reactions of “2Li+O2 →Li2O2” and “2Li+Li2O2 →2Li2O”. This phenomenon can be attributed to the phase transfer catalysis (PTC) property of quaternary ammonium on the second reaction. Due to inverse effects of the cation geometric volume and the PTC property of ammonium ions on the discharge capacity, there is an optimum range for the concentration of ammonium. It is shown that the addition of NBu4SO3CF3 increases discharge capacity of Li/O2 cell only when its concentration is in a range from 5mol% to 50mol% vs. the total of Li/ammonium mixed salt, and that the optimum concentration is about 5mol%. In this work we show that the addition of 5mol% NBu4SO3CF3 into the baseline electrolyte can increase discharge capacity of a Li/O2 cell from 732mAhg−1 to 1068mAhg−1 (in reference to the weight of Super-P carbon) when the cell is discharged at 0.2mAcm−2.

Superstructure icing from sea spray and atmospheric icing in the Arctic may impact offshore platform operations. Though icing has not caused the loss of an offshore platform, it can reduce safety, operational tempo, and productivity. Historically, many ice protection technologies were tested on offshore platforms with little success. However, new technologies and modern versions of old technologies used successfully in aviation, the electric power industry, and ground transportation systems, may be adapted to an offshore environment. This paper provides a framework for assessing the relative threat of ice accumulation types, such as superstructure ice, glaze, rime, frost, and snow, to the safety of platform functions. A review of ice protection strategies for functional platform areas is also provided.

The model components are applied to an identical, unstructured mesh; share parallel computing infrastructure; and run sequentially in time. Wind speeds, water levels, currents and radiation stress gradients are vertex-based, and therefore can be passed through memory or cache to each model component. Parallel simulations based on domain decomposition utilize identical sub-meshes, and the communication is highly localized. Inter-model communication is intra-core, while intra-model communication is inter-core but is local and efficient because it is solely on adjacent sub-mesh edges. The resulting integrated SWAN+ADCIRC system is highly scalable and allows for localized increases in resolution without the complexity or cost of nested meshes or global interpolation between heterogeneous meshes. Hurricane waves and storm surge are validated for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, demonstrating the importance of inclusion of the wave-circulation interactions, and efficient performance is demonstrated to 3062 computational cores.

This paper intends to address why delivery of an energy efficient building is not just the result of applying one or more isolated technologies. Rather, it can best be obtained using an integrated whole building process throughout the entire project development process, which leads building designers to generate a large amount of data during energy simulations. The authors observed that even a simple energy modeling run generated pages of data with many different variables. The volumes of energy modeling data clearly overwhelm traditional data analysis methods such as spreadsheets and ad-hoc queries with so many factors to be considered. An integrated or whole building design process involves studies of the energy-related impacts and interactions of all building components, including the building location, envelope (walls, windows, doors, and roof), heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, lighting, controls, and equipment, which shows why it is so difficult to find the correlation between different systems. The objective of this research is to develop an energy efficient building design process using data mining technology which can help project teams discover important patterns to improve the building design. This paper utilizes the data mining technology to extract interrelationships and patterns of interest from a large dataset. Case study revealed that data mining based energy modeling help project teams discover useful patterns to improve the energy efficiency of building design during the design phase. The method developed during this research could be used to guide designers and engineers through the process of completing an early design energy analysis based on energy simulation models.

Additionally, and somewhat confusingly, the term has been used in places to refer to displays that change their contents depending on situational context only rather than on any awareness of the user. Much of the research on adaptive displays has been funded by the military, the Federal Government and NASA. Several important topics that were a focus of interest at this conference have significant military relevance.

Catalytic dots are first prepared by self-assembly of polystyrene spheres on chromium-coated silicon substrates. Preparation parameters for CNTs growth including temperature, thickness of catalytic dots, plasma current intensity, and pregrowth plasma etching time are fine tuned and analyzed to achieve optimal combinations. High-quality aligned CNTs arrays with long-range periodicity and controlled diameters have been achieved. The good periodicity and alignment are critical for their applications such as photonic crystals, negative index of refraction, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Applied Physics Letters is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Under optimized conditions, single-phase, insulating AlCrN is produced whose band gap shows a small (0.1–0.2 eV) decrease from the value for undoped AlN (6.2 eV), a decrease in a-plane lattice constant and the introduction of two absorption bands at 3 and 5 eV into the band gap. This material shows ferromagnetism with a Curie temperature above 300 K as judged from the difference in field-cooled and zero-field-cooled magnetization. For nonoptimized growth, second phases of Cr2N and AlxCry are produced in the AlN and the material is conducting (∼1000 Ω cm) with activation energy for conduction of 0.19 eV and apparent band gap of 5.8 eV.

The objective of this project was to determine the average clinical treatment time needed to correct nondeployable dental conditions using actual treatment times noted in an electronic scheduler. Methods: The Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic forwarded their daily treatment logs to the Dental Command for each week from November 1, 2002 through February 13, 2003. Clinical treatment times and types of services provided for dental fitness category (DFC) 3 conditions were tracked with the Corporate Dental Application scheduler. Results: The project identified 398 DFC 3 soldiers who were scheduled to receive treatment at the Fort Hood Class Three Intercept Clinic between November 1, 2002 and February 13, 2003. Twenty-three of those soldiers did not receive treatment; therefore, the total sample size was 375. On average, it required 2.2 hours of clinical dental treatment time to make a DFC 3 soldier dentally deployable. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that treating DFC 3 conditions is time-intensive but most DFC 3 soldiers can be treated in approximately 2 hours in an efficient and properly staffed dental clinic. Without proper preventive education and maintenance, these soldiers may develop additional oral disease and may require repeated episodes of increasingly intensive dental treatment.

In this superlattice, the basis contains two unequal wells, with which more energy states are created for broadband absorption. At the same time, responsivity is more uniform within the detection band because of mixing of wave functions from the two wells. This uniform line shape is particularly suitable for spectroscopy applications. The detector is designed to cover the entire 8–14 μm long-wavelength atmospheric window. The observed spectral widths are 5.2 and 5.6 μm for two nominally identical wafers. The photoresponse spectra from both wafers are nearly unchanged over a wide range of operating bias and temperature. The background-limited temperature is 50 K at 2 V bias for F/1.2 optics.

Each QGIP element shares the same detector material but has a different grid geometry. The detector material, which is based on a binary superlattice design, provides an 8–14 μm broadband absorption medium for the spectrometer. The geometry of the grid, which is the light coupling structure under normal incidence, selects individual absorption wavelength for each element. Using a linear array of QGIPs of different geometries, multiple wavelengths can be detected simultaneously, and the array thus forms a spectrometer. Multicolor infrared imaging can then be achieved by integrating such QGIPs in unit cells of a two-dimensional array. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Melt-cast TNAZ/CAB was studied as a function of the percentage of the composition of CAB at -10°C and 25°C. The percentage of CAB in the samples varied from 0.5% to 3%. Failure occurs when the shear or tensile strength of the explosive is exceeded. The fracture acceleration of melt-cast TNAZ/CAB increases with the percentage of CAB in the explosive at both temperatures studied, -10°C and 25°C. While there is some variation among samples, it is found that the fracture acceleration of melt-cast 99%/1% TNAZ/CAB and melt-cast 99.5%/0.5% TNAZ/CAB at -10°C is less than that at 25°C. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The SDR response is strongly correlated to SiC/SiO2 interface recombination currents. The magnitude of the SDR response is correlated with processing-induced changes in interface trap density, an extremely strong indication that we are observing the dominating interface/near interface trapping defects. The SDR response is extremely large, as large as one part in 350. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The device structures were grown through a combination of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) on c-plane sapphire substrates. The AlGaN layers, with an Al concentration of ∼12%, were prepared by MOCVD and doped with Si or Mg to achieve n- and p-type conductivity, respectively. The Er+O-doped GaN active region was grown by MBE and had a thickness of 50 nm. The Er concentration was estimated to be ∼10[sup 18] cm[sup -3]. The multilayer n-AlGaN/GaN:Er/p-AlGaN structures were processed into LEDs using standard etching and contacting methods. Several different LEDs were produced and EL spectra were recorded with both forward and reverse bias conditions. Typically, the EL under reverse bias was five to ten times more intense than that under forward bias. The LEDs displayed a number of narrow emission lines representative of the GaN:Er system (green: 539 nm, 559 nm; infrared: 1000 nm, 1530 nm). While some current crowding was observed, green emission was visible under ambient room conditions at 300 K. At cryogenic temperatures, the emission lines increased in intensity and had a narrower linewidth. EL spectra were recorded down to 10 K and the L-I characteristics were systematically measured. The power output of the brightest LEDs was approximately 2.5 W/m2 at 300 K. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

JO - Applied Physics Letters JF - Applied Physics Letters Y1 - 2004/02/16/ VL - 84 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1090 EP - 1092 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 00036951 AB - AlN epilayers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were implanted with cobalt ions and studied by deep UV photoluminescence (PL). A PL emission peak at 5.87 eV (at 10 K) was observed for the Co-implanted AlN epilayers, which was absent in as-grown AlN epilayers. Temperature dependence of the PL intensity of the 5.87 eV emission line revealed an ion-implantation induced defect with energy level of about 260 meV below the conduction band. The 5.87 eV emission line is believed due to a band-to-impurity transition involving the nitrogen vacancy (V[sub N]) in ion-implanted AlN. The experimentally determined energy level of the nitrogen vacancy is in reasonable agreement with the calculated value of 300 meV. From the band-to-impurity transition involving V[sub N], we have deduced the energy band gap of AlN to be 6.13 eV, which is consistent with our previous result. Our results suggest that nitrogen vacancies in AlN cannot make any significant contribution to the n-type conductivity due to the large binding energy as well as the large formation energy. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

It is found that strain substantially alters the subband structure and thus the output intensity of these nitride-biased quantum-well light-emitting diodes. A design that uses AlInGaN as the quantum barrier is proposed to realize efficient red emission, which is hard to achieve if GaN is used as the barrier. In the proposed design, three different InGaN/AlInGaN quantum-well structures emit red, green, and blue light of similar intensity. Also, to achieve high efficiency, important factors related to the oscillator strength are discussed in detail. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The characterization of the electrode surface has been carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronocoulometry (CC). It was observed that by employing CRY–CNT-PE, a 9-fold enhancement in the PSA signal (dt/dE) was observed as compared to plain carbon paste electrode (PCPE). Under the optimized conditions, dt/dE (s/V) was proportional to the Bi(III) concentration in the range of 5.55×10−8 to 9.79×10−11 M (r =0.9990) with the detection limit (S/N=3) of 3.17×10−11 M. The practical analytical utilities of the modified electrode were demonstrated by the determination of bismuth in pharmaceutical formulations, human hair, sea water, urine and blood serum samples. The prepared modified electrode showed several advantages, such as a simple preparation method, high sensitivity, very low detection limits and excellent reproducibility. Moreover, the results obtained for bismuth analysis in commercial and real samples using CRY–CNT-PE and those obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) are in agreement at the 95% confidence level.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2010/12/15/ VL - 44 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 9571 EP - 9577 SN - 0013936X AB - This investigation applied novel techniques for characterizing and fractionating nanosilver particles and aggregates and relating these measurements to toxicological endpoints. The acute toxicity of eight nanosilver suspensions of varying primary particle sizes (10-80 nm) and coatings (citrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone. EDTA, proprietary) was assessed using three aquatic test organisms [Daphnia magna, Pimephales promelas, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata). When 48-h lethal median concentrations (LC50) were expressed as total silver, both D. magna and P. promelas were significantly more sensitive to ionic silver (Ag+) as AgNO3 (mean LC50 = 1.2 and 6.3 μg/L, respectively) relative to a wide range in LC50 values determined for the nanosilver suspensions (2 -126 μg/L). However, when LC50 values for nanosilver suspensions were expressed as fractionated nanosilver (Ag+ and/or <4 nm particles), determined by ultracentrifugation of particles and confirmed field-flow-fractograms, the LC50 values (0.3-5.6 μg/L) were comparable to the values obtained for ionic Ag+ as AgNO3. These results suggest that dissolved Ag+ plays a critical role in acute toxicity and underscores the importance of characterizing dissolved fractions in nanometal suspensions.

Elevating evidence shows that miRNAs play a critical role in many biological processes, including developmental timing, tissue differentiation, and response to chemical exposure. In this study, we applied a computational approach to analyze expressed sequence tags, and identified 32 miRNAs belonging to 22 miRNA families, in three earthworm species Eisenia fetida, Eisenia andrei, and Lumbricus rubellus. These newly identified earthworm miRNAs possess a difference of 2–4 nucleotides from their homologous counterparts in Caenorhabditis elegans. They also share similar features with other known animal miRNAs, for instance, the nucleotide U being dominant in both mature and pre-miRNA sequences, particularly in the first position of mature miRNA sequences at the 5′ end. The newly identified earthworm miRNAs putatively regulate mRNA genes that are involved in many important biological processes and pathways related to development, growth, locomotion, and reproduction as well as response to stresses, particularly oxidative stress. Future efforts will focus on experimental validation of their presence and target mRNA genes to further elucidate their biological functions in earthworms.

Being "outside the wire" describes the danger zone; i.e., deployment outside the military base. Returning to civilian life, with no "platoon" to serve as a psychological safety net, veterans may once again experience-in a different sense-living "outside the wire." Moreover, experiencing-or seeking help for-psychological distress is often perceived as weakness. How do we help these warriors maintain emotional, spiritual, in addition to physical, well-being "outside the wire"? Combat experiences, if placed within a meaningful context, carry the potential to promote spiritual and emotional growth. As Frankl observed, war experiences hit the core of existential meaning, but even in great sorrow and suffering there is meaning. Framed by Frankl's work, an approach for promoting resilience in returning veterans is presented that is meaning based and transpersonal in focus.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 29 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 2769 EP - 2776 SN - 07307268 AB - The volume of sediment required to perform a sediment toxicity bioassay is a major driver of the overall cost associated with that bioassay. Sediment volume affects bioassay cost because of sediment collection, transportation, storage, and disposal costs as well as labor costs associated with organism recovery at the conclusion of the exposure. The objective of the current study was to evaluate reduced sediment volume versions of the standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 10-d acute Leptocheirus plumulosus method that uses a beaker size of 1,000 ml and 20 organisms. The test design used evaluated the effects of beaker size (250 and 100 ml) and associated sediment volume (75 and 30 ml, respectively) as well as organism loading density (10 and 20 organisms) on test endpoint responsiveness relative to the standard 10-d test method. These comparisons were completed with three different types of contaminated sediments: a field-collected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sediment, a lead-spiked control sediment, and a control sediment spiked with mineral oil. Assessment criteria included test endpoint sensitivity, endpoint consistency, statistical power, water quality, and logistical assessments. Results indicate that the current U.S. EPA method is preferable to the reduced sediment volume methods we assessed, but that a 250-ml beaker/10 organism experimental design is of comparable utility and may be advantageous when reduced sediment volumes are desirable because of high contaminant (spiking studies) or sediment disposal costs. In addition, the results of the current study provide toxicity reference values for PAHs, lead, and an oil surrogate for petroleum hydrocarbons. Environ. Toxicol.

A paucity of data exists for retention and clearance of these particles in the bird gastrointestinal tract. In the current study, northern bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus) were orally gavaged with 1, 5, or 10 Pb shot pellets, of 2-mm diameter, and radiographically followed over time. Blood Pb levels and other measures of toxicity were collected, to correlate with pellet retention. Quail dosed with either 5 or 10 pellets exhibited morbidity between weeks 1 and 2 and were removed from further study. Most of the Pb pellets were absorbed or excreted within 14 d of gavage, independent of dose. Pellet size in the ventriculus decreased over time in radiographs, suggesting dissolution caused by the acidic pH. Birds dosed with one pellet showed mean blood Pb levels that exceeded 1,300 µg/dl at week 1, further supporting dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract. Limited signs of toxicity were seen in the one-pellet birds; however, plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (d-ALAD) activity was persistently depressed, suggesting possible impaired hematological function.

T1 - Assessing barotrauma in neutrally and negatively buoyant juvenile salmonids exposed to simulated hydro-turbine passage using a mobile aquatic barotrauma laboratory JO - Fisheries Research JF - Fisheries Research Y1 - 2010/12// VL - 106 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 271 EP - 278 SN - 01657836 AB - Abstract: Barotrauma-injuries sustained following rapid decompression occur in many different fisheries applications. Previous attempts to quantify barotrauma in fish have been limited by the functionality of hypo/hyperbaric systems. Further, field studies often are confounded by covariates. The mobile aquatic barotrauma laboratory (MABL) was designed to address these limitations. Specifically, this testing facility allows the user to evaluate similar complex pressure scenarios to which migrating juvenile salmonids are exposed following turbine or spillway passage. In this paper, we describe the MABL and present a case study in which negative and neutrally buoyant juvenile Chinook salmon were exposed to simulated hydro-turbine passage (STP). The severity of the decompression profile and the fish''s ability to gain neutral buoyancy were used as predictor variables. We determined that following STP, fish that achieved neutral buoyancy during a 16-h acclimation period had a greater risk of mortality and injury (gill emboli, swim bladder rupture, and internal hemorrhaging) than negatively buoyant conspecifics. This research solidifies the need to allow fish to become neutrally buoyant when assessing barotrauma and mortality in field and laboratory applications. Future research examining injury and mortality of turbine-passed fish needs to consider the fish''s buoyancy to more appropriately evaluate these endpoints.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2010/12//12/1/2010 VL - 44 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 9170 EP - 9175 SN - 0013936X AB - Carbon fullerenes, including buckminsterfullerene (C60), are increasingly available for numerous applications, thus increasing the likelihood of environmental release. This calls for information about their bioavailability and bioaccumulation potential. In this study, 14C-labeled C60 and 14C-phenanthrene (positive control) were added separately to soils of varying composition and organic carbon content (OC), and their bioaccumulation in the earthworm Eisenia fetida was compared. Biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) were measured after 24 h depuration in soils with high C60 dosages (60, 100, and 300 mg-C60 kg-1 dry soil), which exceed the soil sorption capacity, as well as in soils with a low C60 dose (0.25 mg kg-1) conducive to a high fraction of sorbed molecular C60. The BSAF value for the low-dose soil (0.427) was 1 order of magnitude lower than for less hydrophobic phenanthrene (7.93), inconsistent with the equilibrium partition theory that suggests that BSAF should be constant and independent of the KOW value of the chemical. Apparently, the large molecular size of C60 hinders uptake and bioaccumulation. Lower BSAF values (0.065-0.13) were measured for high-dose soils, indicating that C60 bioaccumulates more readily when a higher fraction of molecular C60 (rather than larger precipitates) is available. For the high-dose tests (heterogeneous C60 system), soil OC content did not significantly affect the extent of C60 bioaccumulation after 28 d of incubation, although higher OC content resulted in faster initial bioaccumulation. For low-dose soils, C60 BSAF decreased with increasing soil OC, as commonly reported for hydrophobic chemicals due to partitioning into soil OC. There was no detectable transformation of 14C60 in either soil or worm tissue. Overall, the relatively low extent but rapid bioaccumulation of C60 in E. fetida suggests the need for further studies on the potential for trophic transfer and biomagnification.

We compared the response times and accuracy rates for these tactile representations against responses to equivalent visual representations of the same messages. Experimentally, such messages were displayed in either tactile or visual forms alone, or using both modalities in combination. There was a performance benefit for concurrent message presentations, which showed superior response times and improved accuracy rates when compared with individual presentations in either modality alone. Such improvement was due largely to a reduction in premotor response time. These improvements occurred equally in military and nonmilitary samples. Potential reasons for this multimodal facilitation are discussed. On a practical level, these results confirm the utility of tactile messaging to augment visual messaging, especially in challenging and stressful environments where visual messaging is not feasible or effective.

Annealing experiments at Ta =625°C, followed by quantitative scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and Auger depth profile analyses indicate considerable Ag transport to the top surface for a barrier layer deposited at a substrate floating potential of −30V, but negligible Ag diffusion when deposited with a substrate bias potential of −150V. This is attributed to ion-irradiation induced densification which makes the cap layer an effective diffusion barrier. High temperature tribological sliding tests of this coating system against alumina balls at Tt =550°C indicate an initial friction coefficient μ=0.43±0.04 which decreases monotonically to 0.23±0.03. This is attributed to the development of wear mediated openings in the barrier layer which allow Ag lubricant to diffuse to the sliding top surface. In contrast, pure CrN exhibits a constant μ=0.41±0.02 while CrN–Ag composite coatings without cap layer show a low transient μ=0.16±0.03, attributed to Ag transport to the surface, that however increases to μ=0.39±0.04 after ~6000cycles as the Ag reservoir in the coating is depleted. That is, the dense CrN cap layer reduces the Ag lubricant flow rate and therefore prolongs the time when the coating provides effective lubrication. This results in a cumulative wear rate over 10,000 cycles of 3.1×10−6 mm3/Nm, which is 3.3×lower than without diffusion barrier layer.

NMR and XPS analyses revealed the fate of cyanogen chloride, with inorganic chloride byproducts deposited on the surface of the material and polymerized urea condensates physically adsorbed in the pore structure. The zirconium hydroxide media were found to provide significantly enhanced removal capabilities as compared to traditionally impregnated activated carbons, allowing for the development of respirators with reduced encumbrance.

Neat and nanocomposites with 1–3wt.% clay loading were fabricated. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and three-point bend tests were carried out to evaluate thermo-mechanical and mechanical properties. Results demonstrated optimum enhancement in 2wt.% doped system in both thermal and mechanical properties when compared to the neat system. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicated mixed intercalation and exfoliation of clay platelets in 2wt.% system. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of 2wt.% samples showed rougher fracture surface in comparison to neat epoxy samples. Based on the experimental results, a non-linear damage model using flexural modulus and Weibull parameters was established to describe the stress–strain relationship. These simulated strain–strain relationship coordinated well with the experimental results and show that the Weibull scale parameter, σ 0, increased whereas the Weibull shape parameter, β, remained insensitive with increasing clay content.

In order to better understand typical detection scenarios for a laser illumination system and to improve target detection performance, intensity probability density functions of retroreflected near-infrared laser light were experimentally measured over a near-ground line-of-sight optical path. Returns from a corner cube and a simple lens-mirror system were recorded under a variety of atmospheric conditions, as measured by changes in the refractive-index structure parameter [image omitted]. In addition to its applicability to target detection, this work is relevant to atmospheric propagation research and to free-space laser communication studies.

However, decision-makers such as regulatory agencies, product developers, or other nanotechnology stakeholders may not find the results of such research directly informative of decisions intended to mitigate environmental risks. To help interpret research findings and prioritize new research needs, there is an acute need for structured decision-analytic aids that are operable in a context of extraordinary uncertainty. Whereas existing stochastic decision-analytic techniques explore uncertainty only in decision-maker preference information, this paper extends model uncertainty to technology performance. As an illustrative example, the framework is applied to the case of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Four different synthesis processes (arc, high pressure carbon monoxide, chemical vapor deposition, and laser) are compared based on five salient performance criteria. A probabilistic rank ordering of preferred processes is determined using outranking normalization and a linear-weighted sum for different weighting scenarios including completely unknown weights and four fixed-weight sets representing hypothetical stakeholder views. No single process pathway dominates under all weight scenarios, but it is likely that some inferior process technologies could be identified as low priorities for further research.

JO - Technometrics JF - Technometrics Y1 - 2010/11// VL - 52 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 379 EP - 389 SN - 00401706 AB - In this article we present new methodology for analyzing reliability growth of discrete-use systems (i.e., systems whose test duration is measured in terms of discrete trials, shots, or demands). The methodology is applicable to the case where corrective actions are applied to prototypes anytime after associated failure modes are first discovered. Thus, the system configuration need not be constant. The methodology consists of several model equations for estimating: system reliability; the expected number of failure modes observed during testing; the probability of failure due to a new failure mode, and the portion of system unreliability associated with repeat, or known, failure modes. These model equations are used to: (1) estimate the initial and projected reliability as well as the reliability growth potential; (2) address model goodness-of-fit concerns; (3) quantify programmatic risk; and (4) assess reliability maturity of discrete-use systems undergoing development. Statistical procedures for point estimation, confidence interval construction, and goodness-of-fit testing are also given. In particular, a new likelihood function (and associated maximum likelihood procedure) is derived to estimate model parameters, that is, the shape parameters of the beta distribution. An application to a missile program is given to illustrate the utility of the presented approach. Supplemental materials for this article are available on the Technometrics website.

JO - Comparative Exercise Physiology JF - Comparative Exercise Physiology Y1 - 2010/11// VL - 7 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 153 EP - 171 SN - 17552540 AB - The exchange of water between plasma and interstitial fluid (ISF) along the length of a capillary is attributed to a balancing of the Starling forces, site-specific differences in hydrostatic and osmotic pressures that theoretically determine directional fluid movement. The osmotic forces for water movement are attributed to the osmotic effects of proteins, colloid osmotic pressure (COP). Several physiological inconsistencies question the role of proteins and COP in fluid flux. A reconsideration of Hulett's insights concerning the osmosis of water provides substantial evidence that the effect of COP does not cause osmosis, and therefore another force is needed to explain plasma–ISF exchange. Review of whole-body tissue and blood ion concentrations and/or ion differences across isolated tissue or secretory epithelia from a variety of species indicates that the diffusion of bicarbonate and strong ions within plasma is the dominant osmotic effect returning ISF to the capillary. Conceptually, as these ions diffuse along physiological gradients, they alter the chemical potential of water through which they are diffusing (solute–solvent drag), creating an osmotic effect on plasma water, and explain plasma–ISF exchange. Considering venous–arterial differences, diffusing HCO _{3}^{ - } and strong ions give rise to a net osmotic force (~35 Torr) in venous end capillary plasma water that is coupled to ISF through pores in the endothelium. More importantly, diffusing HCO _{3}^{ - } and strong ions provide an incremental osmotic force (~150 Torr) that is essentially matched to any change in metabolic rate (e.g. muscular work) when CO2 output and water production are increased. The proposed diffusing ion osmotic force does not negate the necessity for colloidal proteins in volume regulation. Proteins can have an essential effect on fluid exchange in plasma when blood flow is intermittent or changes in protein concentration in the ISF such that proteins exert a force against a distensible boundary (i.e. the endothelium and basement membrane) as they are reflected by it or diffuse through the membrane due to changes in permeability.

The treatment wetlands utilized a readily available organic woodchip-media packing to create the anoxic conditions. After 2 years in operation, nitrate removal was found to be best described by first-order kinetics. Removal rate constants at 20°C (k 20) were determined to be 1.41–1.30d−1, with temperature coefficients (θ) of 1.10 and 1.17, for planted and unplanted experimental woodchip-media SSF wetlands, respectively. First-order removal rate constants decreased as length of operation increased; however, a longer-term study is needed to establish the steady-state values. The hydraulic conductivity in the planted woodchip-media SSF wetlands, 0.13–0.15m/s, was similar to that measured in an unplanted gravel-media SSF control system.

We demonstrated a functionally graded catalyst layer based on a double-layered carbon nanotube/nanofiber film- (buckypaper) supported Pt composite catalyst to approach an idealized microstructure. The gradient distribution of Pt, electrolyte and porosity along the thickness effectively depresses the transport resistance of proton and gas. A rated power of 0.88W/cm2 at 0.65V was achieved at 80°C with a low Pt loading of 0.11mg/cm2 resulting in a relatively high Pt utilization of 0.18gPt/kW. The accelerated degradation test of catalyst support showed a good durability of buckypaper support because of the high graphitization degree of carbon nanofibers.

The actual stress–strain relationships in both compression and tension were established by performing a series of compression and tension tests on PVA micro-fibers reinforced concrete specimens. The proposed deflection model was developed by using the well known moment–curvature and conjugate beam methods. Comparisons with the experimental data indicated that the model can be efficiently used to predict the load–deflection behavior of the microfiber reinforced concrete beams. Flexural results indicated that the addition of PVA micro-fibers significantly increases toughness and ductility.

The Chandeleur Islands, located 161km east of New Orleans, Louisiana, have endured numerous hurricanes that have passed nearby. Hurricane Katrina (landfall near Waveland MS, 29 Aug 2005) caused dramatic changes to the island elevation and shape. In this paper the predictability of hurricane-induced barrier island erosion and accretion is evaluated using a coupled hydrodynamic and morphodynamic model known as XBeach. Pre- and post-storm island topography was surveyed with an airborne lidar system. Numerical simulations utilized realistic surge and wave conditions determined from larger-scale hydrodynamic models. Simulations included model sensitivity tests with varying grid size and temporal resolutions. Model-predicted bathymetry/topography and post-storm survey data both showed similar patterns of island erosion, such as increased dissection by channels. However, the model under predicted the magnitude of erosion. Potential causes for under prediction include (1) errors in the initial conditions (the initial bathymetry/topography was measured three years prior to Katrina), (2) errors in the forcing conditions (a result of our omission of storms prior to Katrina and/or errors in Katrina storm conditions), and/or (3) physical processes that were omitted from the model (e.g., inclusion of sediment variations and bio-physical processes).

While these factors are significantly influenced by probe design, they are also subject to the particular detection methodology and reagents employed. Herein we describe the incorporation of super avidin–biotin system (SABS) and secondary enzymatic enhancement (SEE) as post-hybridization signal amplification techniques to improve the sensitivity of oligonucleotide microarrays. To these ends, we tested these methods on electrochemically interrogated arrays using both purified influenza A PCR products and randomly amplified genomic Francisella tularensis DNA as targets. While SABS treatment did not improve sensitivity for CombiMatrix ElectraSense® arrays using purified influenza A cDNA, chip sensitivity was improved 10-fold for randomly amplified targets. SEE improved performance to a greater degree and was able to lower the detection limits 10-fold for influenza A and 100-fold for F. tularensis DNA. These results indicate the promising capability of post-hybridization amplification techniques for enhancing microarray performance.

Compounding of PEEK with carbon nanofibers, CNF, has the potential of enhancing its mechanical and thermal properties further, even at relatively low CNF concentrations. However, such enhancements can be compromised by myriad factors, some of which are elucidated in this study. Considering that the dispersion of the CNF into any high molecular weight polymer is a challenge, two different processing methods, i.e., melt and solution processing were used to prepare PEEK nanocomposites with low aspect ratio carbon nanofibers. The linear viscoelastic material functions of PEEK nanocomposites in the solid and molten states were characterized as indirect indicators of the dispersion state of the nanofibers and suggested that the dispersion of nanofibers into PEEK becomes difficult at increasing CNF concentrations for both solution and melt processing methods. Furthermore, the time-dependence of the linear viscoelastic material functions of the PEEK/CNF nanocomposites at 360–400 °C indicated that PEEK undergoes thermo-oxidative cross-linking under typical melt processing conditions, thus preventing better dispersion by progressive increases of the mixing time and specific energy input during melt processing. The crystallization behavior of PEEK is also affected by the presence of CNF and degree of cross-linking, with the rate of crystallization decreasing with increasing degree of cross-linking and upon the incorporation of CNFs both for the solution and melt processed PEEK nanocomposites.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2010/10/15/ VL - 84 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 10569 EP - 10580 SN - 0022538X AB - Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST-2/tetherin) is a cellular membrane protein that inhibits the release of HIV-1. We show for the first time, using infectious viruses, that BST-2 also inhibits egress of arenaviruses but has no effect on filovirus replication and spread. Specifically, infectious Lassa virus (LASV) release significantly decreased or increased in human cells in which BST-2 was either stably expressed or knocked down, respectively. In contrast, replication and spread of infectious Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) and Lake Victoria marburgvirus (MARV) were not affected by these conditions. Replication of infectious Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) and cowpox virus (CPXV) was also not affected by BST-2 expression. Elevated cellular levels of human or murine BST-2 inhibited the release of virus-like particles (VLPs) consisting of the matrix proteins of multiple highly virulent NIAID Priority Pathogens, including arenaviruses (LASV and Machupo virus [MACV]), filoviruses (ZEBOV and MARV), and paramyxoviruses (Nipah virus). Although the glycoproteins of filoviruses counteracted the antiviral activity of BST-2 in the context of VLPs, they could not rescue arenaviral (LASV and MACV) VLP release upon BST-2 overexpression. Furthermore, we did not observe colocalization of filoviral glycoproteins with BST-2 during infection with authentic viruses. None of the arenavirus-encoded proteins rescued budding of VLPs in the presence of BST-2. Our results demonstrate that BST-2 might be a broad antiviral factor with the ability to restrict release of a wide variety of human pathogens. However, at least filoviruses, RVFV, and CPXV are immune to its inhibitory effect.

The device was tested to determine its ability to measure soil frictional and shear characteristics. Extensive laboratory tests were conducted using dry and moist Capay clay and Yolo loam soils. In addition, field tests were also conducted in a Yolo loam field located at the UC Davis Agricultural Experiment Station. The Cohron sheargraph was also tested under the same laboratory experimental conditions to determine adhesion, soil–metal friction, cohesion, and angle of internal friction of soil. The analysis of experimental data indicated that soil adhesion and soil–metal friction were found to be functions of the intercept and slope values of cone torque versus cone index plot (r 2 =0.94 and 0.95, respectively). Moreover, soil cohesion was found to be related to adhesion by the constrained adhesion relationship, and soil angle of internal friction was proportional to soil–metal friction as reported by Hettiaratchi . These results imply that a simpler device consisting of a rotating cone can be developed to measure soil frictional and shear characteristics. Preliminary results showed that the soil parameters determined using this device predicted the maximum net traction developed by four different radial ply tires tested by Upadhyaya et al. under similar soil conditions quite well. These results indicate that the parameters obtained from the device could be useful in obtaining traction related parameters of a soil-tractive device interaction process.

Multivariable Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the rate of patellar dislocation per 1000 person-years at risk to injury. Incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for patellar dislocation along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by gender, age, race, branch of military service, and rank while controlling for the other variables in the model.Results: There were a total of 9299 individuals with documented patellar dislocation injuries among a population at risk of 13 443 448 person-years. The IR was 0.69 per 1000 person-years at risk. Women were 61% more likely (IRR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.53-1.69) to sustain a patellar dislocation injury than men. Rates were highest in the youngest age group and decreased with increasing age. Service members aged <20 years were 84% more likely (IRR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.61-2.10) to sustain a patellar dislocation injury as service members aged ≥40 years. Differences were also noted by race, service, and rank.Conclusion: The incidence of patellar dislocation injuries among US service members was an order of magnitude greater than that previously reported in civilian population studies. Gender, age, race, rank, and branch of military service are important risk factors related to the incidence of patellar dislocation injuries in this population.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 7 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 563 EP - 572 SN - 15459624 AB - As jet fuel is a common occupational exposure among military and civilian populations, this study was conducted to characterize jet fuel (JP8) exposure among active duty U.S. Air Force personnel. Personnel (n = 24) were divided a priori into high, moderate, and low exposure groups. Questionnaires and personal air samples (breathing zone) were collected from each worker over 3 consecutive days (72 worker-days) and analyzed for total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalene. Air samples were collected from inside the fuel tank and analyzed for the same analytes. Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the exposure data. Our results show that the correlation of THC (a measure of overall JP8 inhalation exposure) with all other analytes was moderate to strong in the a priori high and moderate exposure groups combined. Inhalation exposure to all analytes varied significantly by self-reported JP8 exposure (THC levels higher among workers reporting JP8 exposure), a priori exposure group (THC levels in high group > moderate group > low group), and more specific job task groupings (THC levels among workers in fuel systems hangar group > refueling maintenance group > fuel systems office group > fuel handling group > clinic group), with task groupings explaining the most between-worker variability. Among highly exposed workers, statistically significant job task-related predictors of inhalation exposure to THC indicated that increased time in the hangar, working close to the fuel tank (inside > less than 25 ft > greater than 25 ft), primary job (entrant > attendant/runner/fireguard > outside hangar), and performing various tasks near the fuel tank, such as searching for a leak, resulted in higher JP8 exposure. This study shows that while a priori exposure groups were useful in distinguishing JP8 exposure levels, job task-based categories should be considered in epidemiologic study designs to improve exposure classification. Finally, the strong correlation of THC with naphthalene suggests that naphthalene may be an appropriate surrogate of JP8 exposure. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

Their roles have evolved from supportive roles during early conflicts to active roles in combat support and counterinsurgency operations today. Although women have received military health care over the past three decades, sex- and gender-specific care has been limited to reproductive needs and has rarely addressed military-specific health risks and outcomes. The complexity of military jobs and increased deployments to combat operations has led to increased occupational and health risks for women. As differences have been noted between men and women’s deployment-related health outcomes, it is incumbent on the Military Health Care System (MHS) to create an evidence base that addresses sex and gender differences in the health of its service members. A working group of military women’s health advanced practice nurses (APN) and research experts proposes to address this gap in knowledge and practices through sex- and gender-specific research. A sex-and gender-based research agenda for military women’s health will be a valuable instrument to those who are dedicated to the health of this population, including members of the Army, Navy, and Air Force military nursing community. Using the knowledge that the research agenda generates, military health care providers can develop clinical practice guidelines, influence policy, and participate in program development to improve the health of servicewomen. Shaping a sex- and gender-specific military women’s health research agenda will create the foundation for future evidence-based care.

Computational sensitivity analysis of a spatially distributed process to its governing parameters therefore is an essential, but often costly, step in uncertainty quantification. A sensitivity analysis method is described which features probabilistic surrogate models developed through equitable sampling of the parameter space, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for compact representations of the process’ variability from an ensemble of realizations, and cluster-weighted models of the joint probability density function of each POD coefficient and the governing parameters. Full-field sensitivities, i.e. sensitivities at every point in the computational grid, are computed by analytically differentiating the conditional expected value function of each POD coefficient and projecting the sensitivities onto the POD basis. Statistics of the full-field sensitivities are estimated by sampling the surrogate model throughout the parameter space. Major benefits of this method are: (1) the sensitivities are computed analytically and efficiently from regularized surrogate models, and (2) the conditional variances of the surrogate models may be used to estimate the statistical uncertainty in the sensitivities, which provides a basis for pursuing more data to improve the model. Synthetic examples and a physical example involving near-ground sound propagation through a refracting atmosphere are presented to illustrate the properties of the surrogate models and how full-field sensitivities and their uncertainties are computed.

In fully developed sea states, where winds and waves are in equilibrium, wave parameters may be calculated directly from the wind velocity. We provide an Excel spreadsheet to compute the wave period, length, height and celerity, as well as horizontal and vertical particle velocities for any water depth, bottom slope, and distance below the reference water level. The wave profile and propagation can also be visualized for any water depth, modeling the sea surface change from sinusoidal to trochoidal and finally cnoidal profiles into shallow water. Bedload entrainment is estimated under both the wave crest and the trough, using the horizontal water particle velocity at the top of the boundary layer. The calculations are programmed in an Excel file called WAVECALC, which is available online to authorized users. Although many of the recently published formulas are based on theoretical arguments, the values agree well with several existing theories and limited field and laboratory observations. WAVECALC is a user-friendly program intended for sedimentologists, coastal engineers and oceanographers, as well as marine ecologists and biologists. It provides a rapid means to calculate many wave characteristics required in coastal and shallow marine studies, and can also serve as an educational tool.

Vapor contaminated surfaces were investigated by exposing representative field materials to chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants, and then monitoring the off-gassing concentration as a function of time. Concrete, plastic, wood, steel and latex paint surfaces were contaminated with triethyl phosphate, 4-chlorobutyl acetate, 3-hepten-2-one, trimethyl phosphate, and 2-isobutyl–3-methoxypyrazine. The testing process and simple analysis model provide test and analysis methods that will be used to test agent off-gassing and can serve as a standard for vapor hazard testing following vapor exposure. Use of the simple model was justified, based on analyses of the measured off-gassing trends and the predicted trends of interaction between each compound and each surface.

One potential cause of underestimation for unattended items is that estimates of quantity may depend on viewing a large portion of the display within foveal vision. Another theory follows from the occupancy model: estimating quantity of items in greater proximity to one another increases the likelihood of an underestimation error. Three experimental manipulations addressed aspects of underestimation for unattended items: the size of the distracters, the distance of the target from fixation, and whether items were clustered together. Results suggested that the underestimation effect for unattended items was best explained within a Gestalt grouping framework.

While several studies have shown that students who participate in athletic activities perform better in school than those who do not, it is not clear whether this association is a result of positive academic spillovers, or due to the influence of unobservables. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and a variety of statistical techniques designed to distinguish between these hypotheses, we examine the effect of sports participation on several measures of academic performance. Our results provide only limited evidence that sports participation leads to enhanced academic performance.

DBT programs are one method to address these needs, but a better understanding of how to maximize the effectiveness of DBT activities is needed. Specifically, beyond the content of the demonstration (i.e., the dynamic example of task performance), what instructional features (i.e., information and activities in addition to the demonstration) can be used to improve the effectiveness of DBT interventions?Method:The authors conducted a systematic review of the applied and basic science literatures relevant to DBT.Results: Instructional features in DBT can be categorized according to the degree to which they encourage active learner involvement (i.e., active vs. passive), when they occur relative to viewing the demonstration (i.e., pre-, during-, and postdemonstration conditions), and the observational learning process they are intended to augment. Five categories of instructional features are described: passive guidance or support, preparatory activities, concurrent activities, retrospective activities, and prospective activities.Conclusion: There is a wide variety of instructional features used in DBT, but more systematic research is needed to understand the conditions under which each is most effective as well as to outline a method for sequencing of demonstration with other delivery methods, such as practice opportunities.Application: The framework presented in this article can help guide the systematic development of training systems incorporating DBT as well as provide a direction for future research.

The binding affinity of gold-immobilized peptides for TnI was studied and compared with that of phage-immobilized peptides. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to monitor both the immobilization and target binding processes. All three techniques show that the binding is specific for TnI as compared to a streptavidin (SA) control. The response curves obtained at TnI concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 g/mL, using both QCM and EIS, were also compared. For the EIS measurements, the sensitivity was 0.30 ± 0.030 normalized impedance/(μg/mL) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.34 μg/mL Using the QCM, a sensitivity of 18 ± 1 Hz/(μg/mL) was obtained, corresponding to an LOD of 0.11 μg/mL Although the QCM demonstrated a lower LOD as compared to EIS, the latter technique exhibited a larger linear dynamic range than QCM. In a relevant tissue culture milieu, Minimum Essential Media (MEM), the sensitivity of the EIS measurement was greater than that obtained in a phosphate buffer system (PBS). The kinetics of target binding using QCM were analyzed by two independent methods, and the dissociation constants (KD = 66 ± 4 nM and 17 ± 8 nM) were an order of magnitude higher than that calculated for the polyvalent phage particles (KD = 2.5 ± 0.1 nM). Even though the affinity of the immobilized peptides for TnI was somewhat reduced, overall, these results demonstrate that peptides obtained from the biopanning of phage display libraries can be readily used as sensing probes in biosensor development.

Participants read sentences that implicitly conveyed details that could provoke auditory imagery (e.g., The engine clattered as the truck driver warmed up his rig.), and then performed an unrelated sound categorization task during which they classified sounds as real (occurring in the world) or fake (computer generated). In Experiment 1 these two tasks were performed in sequence; in Experiment 2 they were separated into three experimental blocks to rule out the possibility that readers strategically formed auditory imagery as a result of task demands. In both studies, readers were faster to correctly categorize sounds as ‘real’ when the sounds had been implied by a preceding sentence. These results suggest that readers mentally simulate the implied auditory characteristics of sentences, even in the absence of tasks that promote mental simulation. Mentally simulating described events is not limited to visual and action-based modalities, further demonstrating the multimodal nature of the perceptual symbols spontaneously activated during reading.

Although a multitude of techniques have been described to control cellular alignment in 2D, recapitulating the cellular alignment of highly organized native tissues in 3D engineered tissues remains a challenge. While cellular alignment in engineered tissues can be induced through the use of external physical stimuli, there are few simple techniques for microscale control of cell behavior that are largely cell-driven. In this study we present a simple and direct method to control the alignment and elongation of fibroblasts, myoblasts, endothelial cells and cardiac stem cells encapsulated in microengineered 3D gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels, demonstrating that cells with the intrinsic potential to form aligned tissues in vivo will self-organize into functional tissues in vitro if confined in the appropriate 3D microarchitecture. The presented system may be used as an in vitro model for investigating cell and tissue morphogenesis in 3D, as well as for creating tissue constructs with microscale control of 3D cellular alignment and elongation, that could have great potential for the engineering of functional tissues with aligned cells and anisotropic function.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2010/09/21/ VL - 49 IS - 37 M3 - Article SP - 7978 EP - 7987 SN - 00062960 AB - Organophosphorus compounds include many synthetic, neurotoxic substances that are commonly used as insecticides. The toxicity of these compounds is due to their ability to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholine esterase. Some of the most toxic organophosphates have been adapted for use as chemical warfare agents; the most well-known are GA, GB, GD, GF, VX, and VR. All of these compounds contain a chiral phosphorus center, with the SP enantiomers being significantly more toxic than the RP enantiomers. Phosphotriesterase (PTE) is an enzyme capable of detoxifying these agents, but the stereochemical preference of the wild-type enzyme is for the RP enantiomers. A series of enantiomerically pure chiral nerve agent analogues containing the relevant phosphoryl centers found in GB, GD, GF, VX, and VR has been developed. Wild-type and mutant forms of PTE have been tested for their ability to hydrolyze this series of compounds. Mutant forms of PTE with significantly enhanced, as well as relaxed or reversed, stereoselectivity have been identified. A number of variants exhibited dramatically improved kinetic constants for the catalytic hydrolysis of the more toxic SP enantiomers. Improvements of up to 3 orders of magnitude relative to the value of the wild-type enzyme were observed. Some of these mutants were tested against racemic mixtures of GB and GD. The kinetic constants obtained with the chiral nerve agent analogues accurately predict the improved activity and stereoselectivity against the authentic nerve agents used in this study.

Two reactor configurations, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and a classic batch reactor (CBR) were tested as simultaneous saccharification and fermentation reactors (enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation in one tank). The CBR demonstrated greater stability of hydrogen production and simplicity of operation, while the SBR provided better nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses showed acetic acid to be the main product from both reactors. Optimal CBR conditions were found to be pH 5, 4 g/L loading, 0.45 ml/g Accellerase 1500, and 38 °C. Experiments with an argon purge in place of nitrogen and with ammonium chloride spiking suggested that hydrogenase and nitrogenase enzymes contributed similarly to hydrogen production in the cultures. Analysis of a single fermentation showed that hydrogen production occurred relatively early in the course of TOC removal, and that follow-on treatments might extract more energy from the products.

Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) is becoming increasingly recognized as an important environmental management tool that can be used to support the selection of suitable remediation alternatives and prioritization of management units in space and time. This paper proposes an MCDA framework for prioritizing sediment management alternatives. This framework involves identifying of a set of feasible options, as well as defining and evaluating criteria which integrate relevant technical, economic, social and environmental aspects of remedies. The methodology allows an explicit consideration of uncertainty in criteria scores and weights by assigning probability distributions and analyzing subsequent Monte-Carlo simulations. The consideration of different stakeholder simulated values is used to assess the robustness of alternative rankings and to guide the selection of remediation options. An application of this methodology to a case study in the Bay of Santander, Spain, is presented. An assessment is conducted for the case of unknown preferences as well as for hypothetical preferences profiles for four types of stakeholders: Idealist, Politician, Environmentalist and Balanced. The results are used to visualize stakeholder positions and potential disagreements, allowing for the identification of a group of least preferred alternatives for each stakeholder. Stakeholder involvement has the potential to ease the remedy selection process during all stages of the decision-making process and to eventually remedy implementation.

Here, we describe the characterization of functional HuPON1 expressed and purified from Trichoplusia ni (T. ni) larvae infected with an orally active form of baculovirus. SDS-PAGE and anti-HuPON1 Western blot analyses yielded only three bands of approximately 41, 42, and 44kDa. MALDI-TOF confirmed the identity of each of these bands as HuPON1 with greater than 95% confidence. These isoforms result from differential glycosylation of the enzyme as indicated by peptide mapping, mass analysis, and PNGase F deglycosylation experiments. Recombinant insect-produced HuPON1 hydrolyzed phenyl acetate, paraoxon, and the nerve agents GF, VX, and VR. The enzyme had dramatic stereoselectivity for the P+ isomers of VX and VR. T. ni larvae expressing HuPON1 were remarkably resistant to the pesticide chlorpyrifos. Together, these results demonstrate that the caterpillar of the T. ni moth can be used as an expression system to produce large quantities of functional recombinant HuPON1. Insect production of HuPON1 may provide a source for both in vitro enzymatic and crystallographic studies and in vivo stability and anti-nerve agent efficacy testing.

We investigated the ability of monoisonitrosoacetone (MINA), a tertiary oxime, to reactivate ChE inhibited by the nerve agent sarin (GB), cyclosarin (GF), or VX, in peripheral tissues and brain of guinea pigs and determined whether reactivation in the CNS will enhance protection against the lethal effects of these three agents. In the reactivation experiment, animals were pretreated with atropine methylnitrate (1.0mg/kg, i.m.) 15min prior to subcutaneous (s.c.) challenge with 1.0× LD50 of GB, GF, or VX. Fifteen minutes later animals were treated intramuscularly (i.m.) with MINA (ranging from 22.1 to 139.3mg/kg) or 2-PAM (25.0mg/kg). At 60min after nerve agent, CNS (brainstem, cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, spinal cord, and striatum) and peripheral (blood, diaphragm, heart, and skeletal muscle) tissues were collected for ChE analysis. MINA reactivated nerve agent-inhibited ChE in the CNS and peripheral tissues in a dose-dependent manner in the following order of potency: GB>GF>VX. In a survival experiment, animals were injected i.m. with atropine sulfate (0.5mg/kg), 2-PAM (25.0mg/kg), or MINA (35.0, 60.0, or 100.0mg/kg) alone or in combination 1min after challenge with varying s.c. doses of GB, GF, or VX to determine the level of protection. The rank order of MINA''s efficacy in guinea pigs against nerve agent lethality was the same as for reactivation of inhibited ChE in the CNS. These data show that MINA is capable of reactivating nerve agent-inhibited ChE and that the extent of ChE reactivation within the CNS strongly relates to its therapeutic efficacy.

This enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) which transmits signals between nerves and several key somatic regions. When AChE is inhibited, the signal initiated by ACh is not properly terminated. Excessive levels of ACh result in a cholinergic crisis, and in severe cases can lead to death. Current treatments for OP poisoning involve the administration of atropine, which blocks ACh receptors, and oximes, which reactivate AChE after inhibition. Efforts to improve the safety, efficacy, and broad spectrum utility of these treatments are ongoing and usually require the use of appropriate animal model systems. For OP poisoning, the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is a commonly used animal model because guinea pigs more closely mirror primate susceptibility to OP poisoning than do other animals such as rats and mice. This is most likely because among rodents and other small mammals, guinea pigs have a very low relative concentration of serum carboxylesterase, an enzyme known to bind OPs in vitro and to act as an endogenous bioscavenger in vivo. Although guinea pigs historically have been used to test OP poisoning therapies, it has been found recently that guinea pig AChE is substantially more resistant to oxime-mediated reactivation than human AChE. To examine the molecular basis for this difference, we reverse transcribed mRNA encoding guinea pig AChE, amplified the resulting cDNA, and sequenced this product. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of guinea pig AChE were then compared to the human version. Several amino acid differences were noted, and the predicted locations of these differences were mapped onto a structural model of human AChE. To examine directly how these differences affect oxime-mediated reactivation of AChE after inhibition by OPs, human and guinea pig red blood cell ghosts were prepared and used as sources of AChE, and the relative capacity of several different oximes to reactivate each OP-inhibited AChE were determined. The differences we report between human and guinea pig AChE raise additional concerns about the suitability of the guinea pig as an appropriate small animal model to approximate human responses to OP poisoning and therapies.

Two bis-pyridinium compounds without an oxime group, SAD128 and ICD4157, served as non-oxime controls. Animals were injected subcutaneously with 1.0× LD50 of the nerve agents sarin, cyclosarin, VR or VX and treated intramuscularly 5min later with one of these oximes. Toxic signs and lethality were monitored; tissue ChE activities were determined at 60min after nerve agent. Some animals exposed to sarin or cyclosarin, with or without non-oxime treatment, died within 60min; however, no animal treated with an oxime died. For VR or VX, all animals survived the 60min after exposure, with or without non-oxime or oxime therapy. The four nerve agents caused differential degrees of inhibition in blood, brain regions and peripheral tissues. The tested oximes exhibited differential potency in reactivating nerve agent-inhibited ChE in various peripheral tissues, but did not affect ChE activity in the brain regions. There was no direct relation between blood and peripheral tissues in the reactivating efficacy of oxime treatments. ChE inhibited by sarin was the most susceptible to oxime reactivation while cyclosarin the least susceptible. There was no difference in the ChE reactivating potency between the dimethanesulfonate and dichloride salts of HI-6. MMB-4 significantly reactivated the ChE inhibited by these four nerve agents in blood and all three peripheral tissues of the guinea pig, and among all the oximes tested it was the most effective in vivo ChE reactivator against all four nerve agents.

T1 - Pro-2-PAM therapy for central and peripheral cholinesterases JO - Chemico-Biological Interactions JF - Chemico-Biological Interactions Y1 - 2010/09/06/ VL - 187 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 191 EP - 198 SN - 00092797 AB - Abstract: Novel therapeutics to overcome the toxic effects of organophosphorus (OP) chemical agents are needed due to the documented use of OPs in warfare (e.g. 1980–1988 Iran/Iraq war) and terrorism (e.g. 1995 Tokyo subway attacks). Standard OP exposure therapy in the United States consists of atropine sulfate (to block muscarinic receptors), the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivator (oxime) pralidoxime chloride (2-PAM), and a benzodiazepine anticonvulsant to ameliorate seizures. A major disadvantage is that quaternary nitrogen charged oximes, including 2-PAM, do not cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) to treat brain AChE. Therefore, we have synthesized and evaluated pro-2-PAM (a lipid permeable 2-PAM derivative) that can enter the brain and reactivate CNS AChE, preventing seizures in guinea pigs after exposure to OPs. The protective effects of the pro-2-PAM after OP exposure were shown using (a) surgically implanted radiotelemetry probes for electroencephalogram (EEG), (b) neurohistopathology of brain, (c) cholinesterase activities in the PNS and CNS, and (d) survivability. The PNS oxime 2-PAM was ineffective at reducing seizures/status epilepticus (SE) in diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP)-exposed animals. In contrast, pro-2-PAM significantly suppressed and then eliminated seizure activity. In OP-exposed guinea pigs, there was a significant reduction in neurological damage with pro-2-PAM but not 2-PAM. Distinct regional areas of the brains showed significantly higher AChE activity 1.5h after OP exposure in pro-2-PAM treated animals compared to the 2-PAM treated ones. However, blood and diaphragm showed similar AChE activities in animals treated with either oxime, as both 2-PAM and pro-2-PAM are PNS active oximes. In conclusion, pro-2-PAM can cross the BBB, is rapidly metabolized inside the brain to 2-PAM, and protects against OP-induced SE through restoration of brain AChE activity. Pro-2-PAM represents the first non-invasive means of administering a CNS therapeutic for the deleterious effects of OP poisoning by reactivating CNS AChE.

A literature review screening was performed to identify low-cost natural mineral-based metal sorbents and high-performance commercial sorbents that were carried forward into laboratory experiments. Aqueous phase metal sorptivity of the selected sorbents was evaluated because dissolved metals in sediment porewater constitute an important route of exposure to benthic organisms. Based on pH-edge sorption test results, natural sorbents were eliminated due to inferior performance. The potential as in situ sediment amendment was explored by comparing the sorption properties of the engineered amendments in freshwater and saltwater (10 PPT salinity estuarine water) matrices. Self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports with thiols (Thiol-SAMMS™) and a titanosilicate mineral (ATS™) demonstrated the highest sorption capacity for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), respectively. Sequential extraction tests conducted after mixing engineered sorbents with contaminated sediment demonstrated transfer of metal contaminants from a weakly bound state to a more strongly bound state. Biouptake of Cd in a freshwater oligochaete was reduced by 98% after 5-d contact of sediment with 4% Thiol-SAMMS and sorbed Cd was not bioavailable. While treatment with ATS reduced the small easily extractable portion of Pb in the sediment, the change in biouptake of Pb was not significant because most of the native lead was strongly bound. The selected sorbents added to sediments at a dose of 5% were mostly nontoxic to a range of sensitive freshwater and estuarine benthic organisms. Metal sorbent amendments in conjunction with activated carbon have the potential to simultaneously reduce metal and hydrophobic contaminant bioavailability in sediments. Environ. Toxicol.

We focus on the decision process of human participants who must choose between pairwise alternatives in a resource-allocation task. We used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to calculate the relative weights of the four alternatives (i.e., C1, C2, C3, and C4) and the judgment consistency. Using the AHP, we examined two sets of hypotheses that address the impact of task conditions on the weight prioritization of choice alternatives and the internal consistency of the judgment behavior under varying task conditions. The experiment simulated the allocation of robotic assets across the battlefield to collect data about an enemy. Participants had to make a judgment about which asset to allocate to a new area by taking into account three criteria related to the likelihood of success. We manipulated the information frame and the nature of the task. We found that, in general, participants gave significantly different weights to the same alternatives under different frames and task conditions. Specifically, in terms of ln-transformed priority weights, participants gave significantly lower weights to C2 and C4 and higher weight to C3 under gain frame than under loss frame, and also, under different task conditions (i.e., Tasks #1, #2, and #3), participants gave significantly higher weight to C4 in Task #1, lower weights to C1 and C4, higher weight to C3 in Task #2, and lower weight to C3 in Task #3. Furthermore, we found that the internal consistency of the decision behavior was worse, first, in the loss frame than the gain frame and, second, under time pressure. Our methodology complements utility-theoretic frameworks by assessing judgment consistency without requiring the use of task-performance outcomes. This work is a step toward establishing a coherence criterion to investigate judgment under naturalistic conditions. The results will be useful for the design of multiattribute interfaces and decision aiding tools for real-time judgments in time-pressured task environments.

Two surface conditions (uniaxial ground and uniaxial ground followed by grit blasting) were explored. Strength test coupons sampled effective areas from the very small (4 × 10−3 mm2) to the very large (4 × 104 mm2). Equibiaxial flexure and Hertzian ring crack initiation were used for the strength tests, and characteristic strengths for several different specimen geometries were analyzed as a function of effective area. Characteristic strength was found to substantially increase with decreased effective area for both surface conditions. Weibull moduli of 9.4- and 11.7 well-represented strength-size scaling for the two ground conditions between an effective area range of 10−1 and 4 × 104 mm2. Machining damage was observed to be the dominant flaw type over this range. However, for effective areas <10−1 mm2, the characteristic strength increased rapidly for both ground surface conditions as the effective area decreased, and one or more of the inherent assumptions behind the classical Weibull strength-size scaling were in violation in this range. The selections of a ceramic strength to account for ballistically induced tile deflection and expanding cavity modeling are considered in context with the measured strength-size scaling. The observed size-scaling is briefly discussed with reference to dynamic strength.

These dynamic experiments supplement traditional characterization experiments such as tension, triaxial compression, Brazilian, and plate impact, which are commonly used for ceramic model calibration. The fractured ceramic specimens are analyzed using sectioning, X-ray computed tomography, microscopy, and other techniques. These experimental observations indicate that a predictive material model must incorporate a standard deviation in strength that varies with the nature of the loading. Methods of using the spherical indentation data to calibrate a statistical damage model are presented in which it is assumed that variability in strength is tied to microscale stress concentrations associated with microscale heterogeneity.

This technique is then utilized to investigate the loading-rate and surface-condition effects on the flexural strength of a borosilicate glass. Quasi-static and dynamic experiments are performed at loading rates ranging from 5 × 10−1 to 5 × 106 MPa/s. It is found that the flexural strength of the borosilicate glass strongly depends on the applied loading rates. HF acid corrosion on the surface promotes the flexural strength to above 1.3 GPa. Fractographic analysis shows that surface modification has changed the type of flaws that govern the flexural strength of glass samples.

For impacts on large ceramic bodies (relative to impactor diameter), cone cracking is the primary mechanism in regions of high tensile stresses. In regions of nonhydrostatic compressive stresses, depending on the material characteristics, elasticity, grain-boundary microcracking, or plasticity are the primary mechanisms, and depending on their associated energetics, may be able to compete with the initiation and growth of cone cracks. In this regard, a new model is presented that examines the effect of grain-boundary microcracking on cone cracking through shear-induced dilatancy (i.e., bulking) within the quasiplastic zone that forms just underneath the impact site. Depending on the size of the quasiplastic zone and bulking pressure, it is shown that the bulking phenomenon has the potential to suppress cone cracking. Lastly, examples of other shear-driven inelastic deformation mechanisms are presented.

The AR surface, we call an inverse motheye, was formed by machining a multi-layer grating of subwavelength circular holes into a non-absorptive dielectric. This created low reflected energies (<-30 dB) over reasonably large bandwidths and incidence angles. An optimization algorithm, based on a direct pattern search, integrated with a rigorous electromagnetic model was used to design the grating geometries. Experimental results are provided at Ka-band demonstrating the validity of the method.

The purpose of this report is to examine the effect of rhEPO on mortality and transfusion in burn patients. We conducted a review of burn patients (greater than 30% total body surface area, intensive care unit [ICU] days greater than 15) treated with 40,000u rhEPO over an 18-month period (January 2007 to July 2008). Matched historical controls were identified and a contemporaneous cohort of subjects not administered rhEPO was used for comparison (NrhEPO). Mortality, transfusions, ICU and hospital length of stay were assessed. A total of 105 patients were treated (25 rhEPO, 53 historical control group, 27 NrhEPO). Hospital transfusions (mean 13,704 ± mL vs 13,308 ± mL; P = 0.42) and mortality (29.6 vs 32.0%; P = 0.64) were similar. NrhEPO required more blood transfusions (13,308 ± mL vs 6,827 ± mL; P = 0.004). No difference in mortality for the rhEPO and NrhEPO (32.0 vs 22.2%; P = 0.43) was found. Thromboembolic complications were similar in all three groups. No effect was seen for rhEPO treatment on mortality or blood transfusion requirements in the severely burned.

Kinematics resolved are nonlinear elastic deformation, thermal expansion, dislocation glide, mechanical twinning, and residual lattice strains associated with eigenstress fields of defects such as dislocations and stacking faults. Multiscale concepts are applied to describe effects of twinning on effective thermoelastic properties. Glide and twinning are thermodynamically irreversible, while free energy accumulates with geometrically necessary dislocations associated with strain and rotation gradients, statistically stored dislocations, and twin boundaries. The model is applied to describe single crystals of corundum. Hardening behaviors of glide and twin systems from the total density of dislocations accumulated during basal slip are quantified for pure and doped corundum crystals. Residual lattice expansion is predicted from nonlinear elasticity and dislocation line and stacking fault energies.

This article closely examines the arms control and Iranian issues as well as the broader issue of Russo-American rivalry over Eurasian security, perhaps the core issue in the relationship and certainly the most contentious one there. The analysis suggests that there are numerous problems with the treaty that go beyond the issue of whether or not it allows the U.S. to build missile defenses. It also suggests that there are unproven and even unjustified assumptions about Russian policy regarding Iran and regional security that reduce the real value and prospective gains of this policy for the U.S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Comparative Strategy is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

We determined the functional contributions by CB1 and TRPV1 activation to eliciting responses underlying wound healing in human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC). Both the selective CB1 and TRPV1 agonists (i.e., WIN55,212-2 [WIN] and capsaicin [CAP], respectively) induced EGFR phosphorylation whereas either inhibition of its tyrosine kinase activity with AG1478 or functional blockage eliminated this response. Furthermore, EGFR transactivation was abolished by inhibitors of proteolytic release of heparin bound EGF (HB-EGF). CB1-induced Ca2+ transients were reduced during exposure to either the CB1 antagonist, AM251 or AG1478. Both CAP and WIN induced transient increases in Erk1/2, p38, JNK1/2 MAPK and Akt/PI-3K phosphorylation status resulting in cell proliferation and migration increases which mirrored those elicited by EGF. Neither EGF nor WIN induced any increases in IL-6 and IL-8 release. On the other hand, CAP-induced 3- and 6-fold increases, which were fully attenuated during exposure to CPZ, but AG1478 only suppressed them by 21%. The mixed CB1 and TRPV1 antagonist, AM251, enhanced the CAP-induced rise in IL-8 release to a higher level than that elicited by CAP alone. In conclusion, CB1 and TRPV1 activation induces increases in HCEC proliferation and migration through EGFR transactivation leading to global MAPK and Akt/PI-3K pathway stimulation. On the other hand, the TRPV1-mediated increases in IL-6 and IL-8 release are elicited through both EGFR dependent and EGFR-independent signaling pathways.

The decontaminant, once mixed, exhibits remarkable stability, maintaining efficacy (pot-life) for at least 12 h.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 103 EP - 128 SN - 01650009 AB - Climate strongly affects energy supply and demand in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Washington State (WA). We evaluate potential effects of climate change on the seasonality and annual amount of PNW hydropower production, and on heating and cooling energy demand. Changes in hydropower production are estimated by linking simulated streamflow scenarios produced by a hydrology model to a simulation model of the Columbia River hydro system. Changes in energy demand are assessed using gridded estimates of heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) which are then combined with population projections to create energy demand indices that respond both to climate, future population, and changes in residential air conditioning market penetration. We find that substantial changes in the amount and seasonality of energy supply and demand in the PNW are likely to occur over the next century in response to warming, precipitation changes, and population growth. By the 2040s hydropower production is projected to increase by 4.7–5.0% in winter, decrease by about 12.1–15.4% in summer, with annual reductions of 2.0–3.4%. Larger decreases of 17.1–20.8% in summer hydropower production are projected for the 2080s. Although the combined effects of population growth and warming are projected to increase heating energy demand overall (22–23% for the 2020s, 35–42% for the 2040s, and 56–74% for the 2080s), warming results in reduced per capita heating demand. Residential cooling energy demand (currently less than one percent of residential demand) increases rapidly (both overall and per capita) to 4.8–9.1% of the total demand by the 2080s due to increasing population, cooling degree days, and air conditioning penetration.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 287 EP - 317 SN - 01650009 AB - The Yakima River Reservoir system supplies water to ~180,000 irrigated hectares through the operation of five reservoirs with cumulative storage of ~30% mean annual river flow. Runoff is derived mostly from winter precipitation in the Cascade Mountains, much of which is stored as snowpack. Climate change is expected to result in earlier snowmelt runoff and reduced summer flows. Effects of these changes on irrigated agriculture were simulated using a reservoir system model coupled to a hydrological model driven by downscaled scenarios from 20 climate models archived by the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. We find earlier snowmelt results in increased water delivery curtailments. Historically, the basin experienced substantial water shortages in 14% of years. Without adaptations, for IPCC A1B global emission scenarios, water shortages increase to 27% (13% to 49% range) in the 2020s, to 33% in the 2040s, and 68% in the 2080s. For IPCC B1 emissions scenarios, shortages occur in 24% (7% to 54%) of years in the 2020s, 31% in the 2040s and 43% in the 2080s. Historically unprecedented conditions where senior water rights holders suffer shortfalls occur with increasing frequency in both A1B and B1 scenarios. Economic losses include expected annual production declines of 5%–16%, with greater probabilities of operating losses for junior water rights holders.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 102 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 225 EP - 260 SN - 01650009 AB - Pacific Northwest (PNW) hydrology is particularly sensitive to changes in climate because snowmelt dominates seasonal runoff, and temperature changes impact the rain/snow balance. Based on results from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR4), we updated previous studies of implications of climate change on PNW hydrology. PNW 21st century hydrology was simulated using 20 Global Climate Models (GCMs) and 2 greenhouse gas emissions scenarios over Washington and the greater Columbia River watershed, with additional focus on the Yakima River watershed and the Puget Sound which are particularly sensitive to climate change. We evaluated projected changes in snow water equivalent (SWE), soil moisture, runoff, and streamflow for A1B and B1 emissions scenarios for the 2020s, 2040s, and 2080s. April 1 SWE is projected to decrease by approximately 38–46% by the 2040s (compared with the mean over water years 1917–2006), based on composite scenarios of B1 and A1B, respectively, which represent average effects of all climate models. In three relatively warm transient watersheds west of the Cascade crest, April 1 SWE is projected to almost completely disappear by the 2080s. By the 2080s, seasonal streamflow timing will shift significantly in both snowmelt dominant and rain–snow mixed watersheds. Annual runoff across the State is projected to increase by 2–3% by the 2040s; these changes are mainly driven by projected increases in winter precipitation.

Using maternal obesity status as an instrument, they found strong evidence that overweight females between the ages of 12 and 21 were more likely to initiate smoking. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we reexamine the relationship between body weight and smoking initiation. Our results are generally consistent with those of Cawley, Markowitz and Tauras.

This is important from a practical viewpoint, because a measurement and characterization technique for the 3-D shapes of such particles can lead to an improved understanding of soil stability and influence the design of structural foundations. Previous techniques that have been developed for this purpose have proven to be complex, and the associated instrumentation has proven to be expensive. Furthermore, conventional 2-D shape measurement and description methods do not readily lend themselves to parsimonious 3-D representations. The situation is further complicated by the fact that, to parameterize the relationship between shape and shear characteristics, a single numerical descriptor is required to model the 3-D shapes of multiple particles in a natural sand particle mixture. This paper describes an optical tomography technique for the measurement of particle data that is then characterized using statistical 3-D shape descriptors. The algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) is used to synthesize 3-D particle shapes from 2-D tomography projections. It is shown that the measurement and characterization techniques used can provide distinct features for differently shaped particle mixtures and can be used to synthesize 3-D composite particles representative of the entire mix. The novelty of the technique described in this paper is that numerical shape descriptors can be obtained for not only a single 3-D object but also an entire collection of 3-D objects. Furthermore, the statistical nature of the 3-D shape descriptor of a particle mixture can be used to synthesize a mixture containing an arbitrary number of particles that have similar but not identical shapes. Results demonstrating the efficacy of the method on a set of natural sand particle mixtures are presented.

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 48 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1903 EP - 1915 SN - 00011452 AB - In this paper, a node sampling methodology for nonlinear vibration problems of elastic structures involving intermittent contact is proposed. Of particular interest is a vibration problem of platelike elastic structures with a crack, with a large number of degrees of freedom involved on the crack surfaces. Because of the localized nature of such nonlinearity, the number of degrees of freedom on the surfaces greatly affects the computational time of the analysis. Therefore, reducing the number of degrees of freedom on the crack surfaces without significantly sacrificing the accuracy of the results is a critical issue for conducting vibration analysis of such structures in a reasonable amount of time. The focus is placed on the development of an efficient algorithm to select a set of nodes on the crack surfaces, where nonlinear boundary conditions are imposed. The method is developed, based on a procedure for selecting master degrees of freedom for Guyan reduction. The accuracy, efficiency, and optimality of the method are discussed in detail and compared with those aspects of previous methods. The advantages of the new method are demonstrated in terms of the accuracy of the frequency response and the resonant frequencies.

JO - Memory & Cognition JF - Memory & Cognition Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 38 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 700 EP - 712 SN - 0090502X AB - Navigators use both external cues and internal heuristics to help them plan efficient routes through environments. In six experiments, we discover and seek the origin of a novel heuristic that causes participants to preferentially choose southern rather than northern routes during map-based route planning. Experiment 1 demonstrates that participants who are tasked to choose between two equal-length routes, one going generally north and one south, show reliable decision preferences toward the southern option. Experiment 2 demonstrates that participants produce a southern preference only when instructed to adopt egocentric rather than allocentric perspectives during route planning. In Experiments 3-5, we examined participants' judgments of route characteristics and found that judgments of route length and preferences for upper relative to lower path options do not contribute to the southern route preference. Rather, the southern route preference appears to be a result of misperceptions of increased elevation to the north (i.e., north is up). Experiment 6 further supports this finding by demonstrating that participants provide greater time estimates for north- than for equivalent south-going routes when planning travel between U.S. cities. Results are discussed with regard to predicting wayfinding behavior, the mental simulation of action, and theories of spatial cognition and navigation.

T1 - Higher susceptibility of the ventral versus the dorsal hippocampus and the posteroventral versus anterodorsal amygdala to soman-induced neuropathology JO - NeuroToxicology JF - NeuroToxicology Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 31 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 485 EP - 492 SN - 0161813X AB - Abstract: Nerve agents are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, exposure to which causes brain damage, primarily by inducing intense seizure activity. Knowledge of the brain regions that are most vulnerable to nerve agent-induced brain damage can facilitate the development of drugs targeting the protection of these regions. Both the amygdala and the hippocampus have been shown to suffer significant damage after nerve agent exposure, but the amygdala appears to be the more severely affected structure. However, damage in the amygdala has generally been compared with damage in the dorsal hippocampus, whereas there is evidence that the ventral hippocampus is significantly more susceptible to seizures than the dorsal region and, therefore, it may also be more susceptible to nerve agent-induced neuropathology. Here, we report that after status epilepticus induced by soman administration to rats, neuronal degeneration as assessed by Fluoro-Jade C staining was more extensive in the ventral than the dorsal hippocampal subfields, 1 day after soman exposure. Seven days later, the difference between dorsal and ventral regions was not statistically significant. In the amygdala, soman-induced neurodegeneration was more severe in the posteroventral regions of the lateral, basolateral, and medial nuclei compared to the anterodorsal regions of these nuclei. In contrast, the basomedial nucleus was more severely affected in the anterodorsal region. The extent of neurodegeneration in the amygdala was not significantly different from that in the ventral hippocampus. However, when compared with the whole hippocampus, the amygdala displayed more severe neurodegeneration, on both day 1 and day 7 after soman exposure. Testing the protective efficacy of drugs against nerve agent-induced brain damage should include examination of the ventral hippocampus and the posteroventral regions of the amygdala, as these areas are most vulnerable to nerve agent-induced neurodegeneration.

JO - Journal of Applied Mechanics JF - Journal of Applied Mechanics Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 77 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 051602:1 EP - 051602:6 SN - 00218936 AB - The U.S. Army uses several types of tests to increase the reliability of gun-fired munitions. Systems, subsystems, and components are gun fired to assess reliability. When failures are found, root-cause investigations are completed and parts may be redesigned. For in- stance, the 155 mm projectile Excalibur uses several types of tests to find failures and build reliability. Components are tested in a rail gun, a new soft-catch gun, and in soft recovery vehicles. With the rail gun, test projectiles are fired from a worn gun tube into a trough of water The soft-catch gun, a hybrid system using both air and water, has a standard cannon tube and a series of catch tubes to stop a projectile. The third type of test, a soft recovery vehicle, uses a modified tactical Excalibur with a parachute for a soft landing. All three types of tests have on-board recorders to capture ballistic accelerations. Accelerometer data are used in failure investigations, redesign parts, and to design new projectiles. The purpose of this paper is to compare accelerations from different types of ballistic tests. Comparisons were done to determine if the tests were in the same statistical family. Comparisons are made for a United States MACS 5 charge. The maxi- mum axial forces were the same for the soft-catch gun and the soft recovery vehicle. In the balloting directions, the rail gun and soft recovery vehicle had similar forces. The set forward forces differed in all three cases, reflecting the different catch mechanisms for the projectiles. Comparisons of g-forces were also made using shock response spectra. The shock response indicated that the damage potential is greatest for the rail gun tests, consistent with an increase rate of failures for some electronics.

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used for the characterization. The PtCo synthesized with ultrasound-assisted micro-emulsion showed a uniform particle size distribution. We can control the particle size from 17nm to 3nm by varying the synthetic environment, such as the water/oil ratio, water/surfactant ratio, reactant concentration, and pH value in water phase. The CV results showed that by applying ultrasound-assisted micro-emulsion for synthesis of PtCo catalyst, the catalytic peak current for oxygen reduction increased 15% over the PtCo synthesized by micro-emulsion but without applying ultrasound in the synthetic environment, and 47% over the PtCo synthesized by normal chemical method. The catalytic peak potential for the PtCo synthesized with ultrasound-assisted micro-emulsion had 30mV positive shift for O2 reduction in comparison with that synthesized by micro-emulsion without applying ultrasound, and 100mV positive shift in comparison with that synthesized by normal chemical method.

JO - International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry JF - International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2010/08/20/ VL - 90 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 773 EP - 783 SN - 03067319 AB - Military small arms ranges in the United States have been used for munitions training with tungsten rounds, which are comprised of powdered tungsten (W) pressed together with polymeric binders. As a result, W has been introduced into surface soils. The environmental and human health effects of W remain open questions. The US Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for environmental monitoring, site assessments, and cleanup of small arms ranges. This work requires routine measurements of tungsten in natural waters and soils. However, the existing sample preparation and analytical procedures were not specifically developed with W in mind for environmental analysis. Our work suggests modification of existing metal sample preparation and analytical procedures are necessary to accurately quantify W in environmental media. Our group has been actively conducting W measurements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), both with quadrupole and sector field ICPMS systems. We have used heavy rare earth elements and iridium as internal standards. For soils, the great majority of the W from small arms can be dissolved using acid leaching with HNO3-H3PO4 mixtures; more rigorous preparations with fusion or HF digestions can also be used. In ICPMS analysis, the largest challenge involves dealing with the significant carry-over and memory of W in sample introduction systems. This ultimately limits measurement capabilities, particularly at sub-µg L-1 levels. With careful attention to the sample and standards' matrix constituents, and proper washout time, successful analysis is possible and ICPMS is clearly the preferred technique. A commercially available fluoropolymer sample introduction system exhibits significantly improved memory characteristics.

The dense snowpack and high sub-grid lake fraction across the tundra mean that conventional brightness temperature difference approaches (such as the commonly used 37GHz–19GHz) are not appropriate across the sub-Arctic. Airborne radiometer measurements (with footprint dimensions of approximately 70×120m) acquired across sub-Arctic Canada during three field campaigns during the 2008 winter season were utilized to illustrate a slope reversal in the 37GHz T B versus SWE relationship. Scattering by the tundra snowpack drives a negative relationship until a threshold SWE value is reached near 130mm at which point emission from the snowpack creates a positive but noisier relationship between 37GHz T B and SWE. The change from snowpack scattering to emission was also evident in the temporal evolution of 37GHz T B observed from satellite measurements. AMSR-E brightness temperatures (2002/03–2006/07) consistently exhibited decreases through the winter before reaching a minimum in February or March, followed by an increase for weeks or months before melt. The cumulative absolute change (Σ|Δ37V|) in vertically polarized 37GHz T B was computed at both monthly and pentad intervals from a January 1 start date and compared to ground measured SWE from intensive and regional snow survey campaigns, and climate station observations. A greater (lower) cumulative change in |Δ37V| was significantly related to greater (lower) ground measured SWE (r 2 =0.77 with monthly averages; r 2 =0.67 with pentad averages). Σ|Δ37V| was only weakly correlated with lake fraction: monthly r 2 values calculated for January through April 2003–2007 were largely less than 0.2. These results indicate that this is a computationally straightforward and viable algorithmic framework for producing tundra-specific SWE datasets from the complete satellite passive microwave record (1979 to present).

Within most numerical water quality models, the highest trophic level modeled explicitly is zooplankton, prohibiting an investigation of the effect a fish species may be having on its environment. Conversely, numerical models of fish consumption do not typically include feedback mechanisms to capture the effects of fish on primary production and nutrient recycling. In the present study, a fish bioenergetics model is incorporated into CE-QUAL-ICM, a spatially explicit eutrophication model. In addition to fish consumption of algae, zooplankton, and detritus, fish biomass accumulation and nutrient recycling to the water column are explicitly accounted for. These developments advance prior modeling efforts of the impact of fish on water quality, many of which are based on integrated estimates over an entire system and which omit the feedback the fish have through nutrient recycling and excretion. To validate the developments, a pilot application was undertaken for Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) in Chesapeake Bay. The model indicates menhaden may reduce the algal biomass while simultaneously increasing primary productivity.

Here we describe the sustained antiviral immune responses, as indicated by the expression of MxA protein and IFN-α mRNA, in autopsy lung tissue from an H5N1-infected patient. H5N1 infection of primary bronchial/tracheal epithelial cells and lung microvascular endothelial cells induced IP-10, and also up-regulated the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I). Down-regulation of RIG-I gene expression decreased IP-10 response. Co-culturing of H5N1-infected pulmonary cells with TNF-α led to synergistically enhanced production of IP-10. In the absence of viral infection, TNF-α and IFN-α also synergistically enhanced IP-10 response. Methylprednisolone showed only a partial inhibitory effect on this chemokine response. Our findings strongly suggest that both the H5N1 virus and the locally produced antiviral cytokines; IFN-α and TNF-α may have an important role in inducing IP-10 hyperresponse, leading to inflammatory damage in infected lung.

The schemes use Wu-Chang spreading code, block interleaver, and synchronizable channel codes to support A-CDMA communications with random delays. For the noiseless case, each active user generates one of M messages, M = ⌊(2T-D - 1)/(D + 1)⌋, and a (T - D)-stage MLSR encoder encodes the message into a codeword of length T. Given a maximum random delay of D chips, the receiver can decode messages of all active users without ambiguity. For the noisy case, extended Bose-Caldwell cyclic codes are used to encode messages. The extended cyclic codes provide error correction and delay recovery effectively. By using a BCH code of length n as the cyclic code, the extended code can correct up to τ ≤ ⌊n/4⌋ errors and recover a maximum random delay of n - 1 chips.

It has been experimentally established that the initial magnetostatic energy stored in the magnetic element of the FMG (determined by the magnet's maximum energy product (BH)max and its volume), not the residual magnetic flux density Br, is the principal parameter that determines the output energy and the amplitude of the signals produced by the generator. Systematic studies were carried out with miniature high-current FMGs containing Nd2Fe14B high-energy hard ferromagnetic elements having a wide range of sizes. Utilization of transverse-shock demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B magnets (shock wave propagates across the magnetization vector M) instead of longitudinal-shock demagnetization dramatically changed the design of the FMGs and reduced the mass of the explosives used by two orders of magnitude in comparison with that used in longitudinal FMGs. Data for the initial magnetic flux and shock-induced magnetic flux change in Nd2Fe14B magnets are presented. It was shown that FMGs with a volume of 25 cm³ are capable of producing pulsed currents with amplitudes of up to 4.4 kA and rise times of 23 μs in the seed coil of a magnetic flux compression generator.

The electric charge density that is released due to thermal heating at a rate of 0.9 K/min was consistent for all sample sizes (Q = 27.8 μC/cm²). The charge density that is released due to shock compression was practically equal to that released due to thermal heating. The PZT 52/48 samples were completely depolarized by longitudinal shock waves at shock front pressures of PSW = 1.5 ± 0.2 GPa. The electric charge that the samples release can be transformed into pulsed power. Miniature explosive-driven ferroelectric generators containing PZT 52/48 ceramic elements with a volume of 0.35- 3.5 cm³ are capable of converting the depolarization charge into pulses of high voltage with amplitudes of up to 22 kV and high power with a peak power of up to 0.35 MW within a time interval of 0.3-1.5 μs.

A series of studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of tungsten on several phosphate-dependent intracellular functions, including energy cycling (ATP), regulation of enzyme activity (cytosolic protein tyrosine kinase [cytPTK] and tyrosine phosphatase), and intracellular secondary messengers (cyclic adenosine monophosphate [cAMP]). Rat noncancerous hepatocyte (Clone-9), rat cancerous hepatocyte (H4IIE), and human cancerous hepatocyte (HepG2) cells were exposed to 1–1000 mg/l tungsten (in the form of sodium tungstate) for 24 h, lysed, and analyzed for the above biochemical parameters. Cellular ATP levels were not significantly affected in any cell line. After 4 h, tungsten significantly decreased cytPTK activity in Clone-9 cells at ≥ 18 mg/l, had no effect in H4IIE cells, and significantly increased cytPTK activity by 70% in HepG2 cells at ≥ 2 mg/l. CytPTK displayed a slight hormetic response to tungsten after 24-h exposure yet returned to normal after 48-h exposure. Tungsten significantly increased cAMP by over 60% in Clone-9 cells at ≥ 100 mg/l, significantly increased cAMP in H4IIE cells at only 100 mg/l, and significantly increased cAMP in HepG2 cells between 1–100 mg/l but at much more modest levels (8–20%). In conclusion, these data indicate that tungsten produces complex results that must be carefully interpreted in the context of their respective animal models, as well as the phenotype of the cell lines (i.e., normal vs. cancerous).

Infection with EBOV causes a high mortality rate and currently there is no FDA-licensed vaccine or therapeutic treatment available. Recently, heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a molecular chaperone, was shown to be an important host factor for the replication of several negative-strand viruses. We tested the effect of several different Hsp90 inhibitors including geldanamycin, radicicol, and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; a geldanamycin analog) on the replication of Zaire EBOV. Our results showed that inhibition of Hsp90 significantly reduced the replication of EBOV. Classic Hsp90 inhibitors reduced viral replication with an effective concentration at 50% (EC50) in the high nanomolar to low micromolar range, while drugs from a new class of Hsp90 inhibitors showed markedly more potent inhibition. These compounds blocked EBOV replication with an EC50 in the low nanomolar range and showed significant potency in blocking replication in primary human monocytes. These results validated that Hsp90 is an important host factor for the replication of filoviruses and suggest that Hsp90 inhibitors may be therapeutically effective in treating EBOV infection.

Shear wave velocity profiles of these sediments are important input parameters for modeling wave propagation and site response in this region. Low-frequency, active-source surface wave velocity measurements were performed to develop small-strain shear wave velocity (VS ) profiles at eleven deep soil sites in the Mississippi embayment, from north of New Madrid, Missouri to Memphis, Tennessee. A servo-hydraulic, low-frequency source was used to excite surface wave energy to wavelengths of 600m, resulting in VS profiles to depths of over 200m. The average VS profile calculated from the eleven sites is in good agreement with common reference VS profiles that have been used in seismic hazard studies of this region. The variability in VS profiles is shown to be associated with changes in formation depth and thickness from site-to-site. Using lithologic information at each site, average formation velocities were developed and compared to previous studies. We found average VS values of about 193m/s for alluvial deposits, 400m/s for the Upper Claiborne formations, and 685m/s for the Memphis Sand formation.

New models of hemorrhage may add value in both improving our understanding of the physiologic responses to severe bleeding and as platforms to develop and test new monitoring and therapeutic techniques. We examined changes in oxygen transport produced by central volume redistribution in humans using lower body negative pressure (LBNP) as a potential mimetic of hemorrhage. Methods and results: In 20 healthy volunteers, systemic oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption, skeletal muscle oxygenation and oral mucosa perfusion were measured over increasing levels of LBNP to the point of hemodynamic decompensation. With sequential reductions in central blood volume, progressive reductions in oxygen delivery and tissue oxygenation and perfusion parameters were noted, while no changes were observed in systemic oxygen uptake or markers of anaerobic metabolism in the blood (e.g., lactate, base excess). While blood pressure decreased and heart rate increased during LBNP, these changes occurred later than the reductions in tissue oxygenation and perfusion. Conclusions: These findings indicate that LBNP induces changes in oxygen transport consistent with the compensatory phase of hemorrhage, but that a frank state of shock (delivery-dependent oxygen consumption) does not occur. LBNP may therefore serve as a model to better understand a variety of compensatory physiological changes that occur during the pre-shock phase of hemorrhage in conscious humans. As such, LBNP may be a useful platform from which to develop and test new monitoring capabilities for identifying the need for intervention during the early phases of hemorrhage to prevent a patient''s progression to overt shock.

Using the recently derived perturbation procedure for degenerate frequencies in crystal resonators, we show that when a planar stress system is applied, the degenerate frequency splits into two. This phenomenon is expected to be typical for degenerate frequencies in crystal resonators and may be responsible in part for the jump discontinuities in frequency temperature curves and other frequency jump phenomena.

The study data consisted of minute-by-minute glucose signals collected from nine deidentified patients over a five-day period using continuous glucose monitoring devices. AR models were developed using single and pairwise combinations of frequency bands of the glucose signal and compared with a reference model including all bands. The results suggest that: for open-loop applications, there is no need to explicitly represent exogenous inputs, such as meals and insulin intake, in AR models; models based on a single-frequency band, with periods between 60-120 min and 150-500 min, yield good predictive power (error < 3 mg/dL) for prediction horizons of up to 25 min; models based on pairs of bands produce predictions that are indistinguishable from those of the reference model as long as the 60-120 min period band is included; and AR models can be developed on signals of short length (~300 min), i.e., ignoring long circadian rhythms, without any detriment in prediction accuracy. Together, these findings provide insights into efficient development of more effective and parsimonious data-driven models for short-term prediction of glucose concentrations in diabetic patients.

Antibutyrylcholinesterase monoclonal antibodies were conjugated to protein-G ferromagnetic particles and mixed with 500 μL serum samples. The particle-antibody-BuChE product was rinsed and directly digested with pepsin. Native and isotopically enriched nonapeptides corresponding to the pepsin digest products for uninhibited BuChE, and sarin, cyclohexylsarin, VX, and Russian VX nerve agent-inhibited BuChE were synthesized for use as calibrators and internal standards, respectively. Internal standards were added to the filtered digest sample, and the samples were quantified via high performance liquid chromatography-isotope dilution-tandem mass spectrometry. The ratio of adducted to total BuChE nonapeptides was calculated for each nerve agent-exposed serum sample using data collected in a single chromatogram. Nerve agent-inhibited quality control serum pools were characterized as part of method validation; the method was observed to have extremely low background noise. The measurement of both uninhibited and inhibited BuChE peptides compensated for any variations in the pepsin digestion before the internal standard peptide was added to the sample and may prove useful in individualizing patient results following a nerve agent exposure.

These 2D models numerically solve the governing flow equations simultaneously or explicitly on a discretization of the floodplain using grid tiles or similar tile cell geometry, called “elements”. By use of automated information systems such as digital terrain modeling, digital elevation models, and GIS, large-scale topographic floodplain maps can be readily discretized into thousands of elements that densely cover the floodplain in an edge-to-edge form. However, the assumed principal flow directions of the flow model analog, as applied across an array of elements, typically do not align with the floodplain flow streamlines. This paper examines the mathematical underpinnings of a four-direction flow analog using an array of square elements with respect to floodplain flow streamlines that are not in alignment with the analog’s principal flow directions. It is determined that application of Manning’s equation to estimate the friction slope terms of the governing flow equations, in directions that are not coincident with the flow streamlines, may introduce a bias in modeling results, in the form of slight underestimation of flow depths. It is also determined that the maximum theoretical bias, occurs when a single square element is rotated by about 13°, and not 45° as would be intuitively thought. The bias as a function of rotation angle for an array of square elements follows approximately the bias for a single square element. For both the theoretical single square element and an array of square elements, the bias as a function of alignment angle follows a relatively constant value from about 5° to about 85°, centered at about 45°. This bias was first noted about a decade prior to the present paper, and the magnitude of this bias was estimated then to be about 20% at about 10° misalignment. An adjustment of Manning’s n is investigated based on a considered steady state uniform flow problem, but the magnitude of the adjustment (about 20%) is on the order of the magnitude of the accepted ranges of friction factors. For usual cases where random streamline trajectory variability within the floodplain flow is greater than a few degrees from perfect alignment, the apparent bias appears to be implicitly included in the Manning’s n values. It can be concluded that the array of square elements may be applied over the digital terrain model without respect to topographic flow directions.

A watersoluble distyryistilbene oligoelectrolyte (DSSN+), capped at each end with nitrogen bound, terminally charged pendant groups, was synthesized. The photophysical and solvatochromatic properties of DSSN+ and the shorter distyrylbenzene analogue DSBN+ were probed and found to be useful for characterizing insertion into membranes based on phospholipid vesicle systems. A combination of UV/visible absorbance and photoluminescence spectroscopies, together with confocal microscopy, were employed to confirm membrane incorporation. Examination of the emission intensity profile in stationary multilamellar vesicles obtained with a polarized excitation source provides insight into the orientation of these chromophores within lipid bilayers and indicates that these molecules are highly ordered, such that the hydrophobic electronically delocalized region positions within the inner membrane with the long molecular axis perpendicular to the bilayer plane. Cyclic voltammetry experiments provide evidence that DSSN+ and DSBN+ facilitate transmembrane electron transport across lipid bilayers supported on glassy carbon electrodes. Additionally, the interaction with living microorganisms was probed. Fluorescence imaging indicates that DSSN+ and DSBN+ preferentially accumulate within cell membranes. Furthermore, notable increases in yeast microbial fuel cell performance were observed when employing DSSN+ as the electron transport mediator.

Two hypergolic compounds, dimethylamino-2-ethylazide (DMAZ) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine (TMEDA), have been identified as possible replacements for MMH. We have obtained genotoxicity data for these compounds from in vitro and in vivo studies. DMAZ did not produce any mutagenic effects at concentrations up to 5mg/plate in the TA98 and TA1537 strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in an Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA) strain, with or without metabolic activation, but did produce a positive response in the TA100 and TA1535 strains, both with and without metabolic activation. TMEDA was found not to be mutagenic in any of the bacterial strains tested (Salmonella TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli, WP2 uvrA), with or without metabolic activation. DMAZ did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations at levels up to 5mg/mL in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, with or without metabolic activation. TMEDA produced a positive response in this system, with or without metabolic activation, but only at the highest concentration, 5mg/mL. However, according to the OECD guideline TG 473, the compound is considered to be negative in the CHO chromosomal aberration assay, since the compound was not clastogenic at 0.01M (1.140mg/mL). DMAZ and TMEDA, when tested in vivo in the CD-1 mouse at doses up to 500 and 250mg/kg, respectively, did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow erythrocytes. These studies demonstrate that DMAZ is mutagenic in specific strains of Salmonella. However, both compounds were negative for induction of chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells in vitro and in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.

T1 - Toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene to terrestrial plants in natural soils JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2010/07/15/ VL - 408 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 3193 EP - 3199 SN - 00489697 AB - Abstract: The presence of energetic materials (used as explosives and propellants) at contaminated sites is a growing international issue, particularly with respect to military base closures and demilitarization policies. Improved understanding of the ecotoxicological effects of these materials is needed in order to accurately assess the potential exposure risks and impacts on the environment and its ecosystems. We studied the toxicity of the nitroaromatic energetic material 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli L. Beauv.), and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) using four natural soils varying in properties (organic matter, clay content, and pH) that were hypothesized to affect chemical bioavailability and toxicity. Amended soils were subjected to natural light conditions, and wetting and drying cycles in a greenhouse for 13weeks prior to toxicity testing to approximate field exposure conditions in terms of bioavailability, transformation, and degradation of 2,4-DNT. Definitive toxicity tests were performed according to standard protocols. The median effective concentration (EC50) values for shoot dry mass ranged from 8 to 229mg kg−1, depending on the plant species and soil type. Data indicated that 2,4-DNT was most toxic in the Sassafras (SSL) and Teller (TSL) sandy loam soils, with EC50 values for shoot dry mass ranging between 8 to 44mg kg−1, and least toxic in the Webster clay loam soil, with EC50 values for shoot dry mass ranging between 40 to 229mg kg−1. The toxicity of 2,4-DNT for each of the plant species was significantly (p ≤0.05) and inversely correlated with the soil organic matter content. Toxicity benchmark values determined in the present studies for 2,4-DNT weathered-and-aged in SSL or TSL soils will contribute to development of an Ecological Soil Screening Level for terrestrial plants that can be used for ecological risk assessment at contaminated sites.

JO - European Journal of Applied Physiology JF - European Journal of Applied Physiology Y1 - 2010/07/15/ VL - 109 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 963 EP - 972 SN - 14396319 AB - The purpose of this study was to characterize the time course of matrix metalloprotease-3 (MMP-3) and tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-1 (TIMP-1) expression in mouse tibialis anterior (TA) muscle post-injury. Mice were anesthetized, the TA muscle exposed, and injury induced by applying a cold steel probe (−79°C) to the muscle for 10 s. Muscle was collected from uninjured and injured legs at 3, 10, 24, 48, and 72 h post-injury. qRT-PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to quantify/localize MMP-3 and TIMP-1. MMP-3 transcripts increased 19- and 12-fold, 10 and 24 h post-injury ( p < 0.01), respectively. TIMP-1 transcript levels increased 9-, 34-, and 60-fold, 10, 24, and 48 h post-injury ( p = 0.01), respectively, with a subsequent decrease 72 h post-injury ( p < 0.01). Protein levels of the pro-form of MMP-3 increased within 3 h post-injury and remained elevated ( p < 0.05). Active MMP-3 decreased over time, reaching a 72% decrease 72 h post-injury ( p < 0.05). TIMP-1 protein decreased 75% within 3 h post-injury, returning to baseline by 72 h post-injury. In response to injury, injured skeletal muscle preferentially produces increased levels of the latent form of the MMP-3 protein with a concomitant decrease in the active form, and a significant decrease in TIMP-1 expression. The altered pattern of MMP-3/TIMP-1 expression may be due to alterations in post-transcriptional mechanisms that are responsible for specific regulation of the MMP-3/TIMP-1 system. These data suggest that there is a disproportionate regulation of the MMP-3/TIMP-1 system following traumatic injury and this response may contribute to impaired extracellular matrix remodeling.

Oftentimes, oscillatory activity is indexed by mean power density in predefined frequency bands. Some investigators use broad bands originally defined by prominent surface features of the spectrum. Others rely on narrower bands originally defined by spectral factor analysis (SFA). Presently, the robustness and sensitivity of these competing band definitions remains unclear. Here, a Monte Carlo-based SFA strategy was used to decompose the tonic (“resting” or “spontaneous”) electroencephalogram (EEG) into five bands: delta (1–5Hz), alpha-low (6–9Hz), alpha-high (10–11Hz), beta (12–19Hz), and gamma (>21Hz). This pattern was consistent across SFA methods, artifact correction/rejection procedures, scalp regions, and samples. Subsequent analyses revealed that SFA failed to deliver enhanced sensitivity; narrow alpha sub-bands proved no more sensitive than the classical broadband to individual differences in temperament or mean differences in task-induced activation. Other analyses suggested that residual ocular and muscular artifact was the dominant source of activity during quiescence in the delta and gamma bands. This was observed following threshold-based artifact rejection or independent component analysis (ICA)-based artifact correction, indicating that such procedures do not necessarily confer adequate protection. Collectively, these findings highlight the limitations of several commonly used EEG procedures and underscore the necessity of routinely performing exploratory data analyses, particularly data visualization, prior to hypothesis testing. They also suggest the potential benefits of using techniques other than SFA for interrogating high-dimensional EEG datasets in the frequency or time–frequency (event-related spectral perturbation, event-related synchronization/desynchronization) domains.

Located just upstream of the C-terminal T1SS secretion signal, they are believed to act as calcium-induced switches that prevent folding before secretion. Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase (CyaA) toxin has five blocks of beta roll motifs (or repeats-in-toxin motifs) separated by linkers. The block V motif on its own has been reported to be non-responsive to calcium. Only when the N- and C-terminal linkers, or flanking groups, were fused did the motif bind calcium and fold. In an effort to understand the requirements for beta roll folding, we have truncated the N- and C-terminal flanks at several locations to determine the minimal essential sequences. Calcium-responsive beta roll folding occurred even in the absence of the natural N-terminal flank. The natural C-terminal flank could not be truncated without decreased calcium affinity and only partially truncated before losing calcium-responsiveness. Globular protein fusion at the C-terminus likewise enabled calcium-induced folding but fusions solely at the N-terminus failed. This demonstrates that calcium-induced folding is an inherent property of the beta roll motif rather than the flanking groups. Given the disparate nature of the observed functional flanking groups, C-terminal fusions appear to confer calcium-responsiveness to the beta roll motif via a non-specific mechanism, suggesting that entropic stabilization of the unstructured C-terminus can enable beta roll folding. Increased calcium affinity was observed when the natural C-terminal flank was used to enable calcium-induced folding, pointing to its cooperative participation in beta roll formation. This work indicates that a general principle of C-terminal entropic stabilization can enable stimulus-responsive repeat protein folding, while the C-terminal flank has a specific role in tuning calcium-responsive beta roll formation. These observations are in stark contrast to what has been reported for other repeat proteins.

JO - Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, American Volume JF - Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, American Volume Y1 - 2010/07/07/ VL - 92 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 605 EP - 611 SN - 00219355 AB - Background: Relative to dislocations, glenohumeral subluxation events have received little attention in the literature, despite a high incidence in young athletes. The pathoanatomy of first-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation events has not been defined, to our knowledge. Methods: As part of a prospective evaluation of all cases of shoulder instability sustained during one academic year in a closed cohort of military academy cadets, a total of thirty-eight first-time, traumatic, anterior glenohumeral subluxation events were documented. Clinical subluxation events were defined as incomplete instability events that did not require a manual reduction maneuver. Twenty-seven of those events were evaluated with plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging within two weeks after the injury and constitute the cohort studied. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were independently evaluated by a musculoskeletal radiologist blinded to the clinical history. Arthroscopic findings were available for the fourteen patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery. Results: Of the twenty-seven patients who sustained a first-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation, twenty-two were male and five were female, and their mean age was twenty years. Plain radiographs revealed three osseous Bankart lesions and two Hill-Sachs lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a Bankart lesion in twenty-six of the twenty-seven patients and a Hill-Sachs lesion in twenty-five of the twenty-seven patients. Of the fourteen patients who underwent surgery, thirteen had a Bankart lesion noted during the procedure. Of the thirteen patients who chose nonoperative management, four experienced recurrent instability. Two of the thirteen patients left the academy for nonmedical reasons and were lost to follow-up. The remaining seven patients continued on active-duty service and had not sought care for a recurrent instability event at the time of writing. Conclusions: First-time, traumatic, anterior subluxation events result in a high rate of labral and Hill-Sachs lesions. These findings suggest that clinical subluxation events encompass a broad spectrum of incomplete events, including complete separations of the articular surfaces with spontaneous reduction. A high index of suspicion for this injury in young athletes is warranted, and magnetic resonance imaging may reveal a high rate of pathologic changes, suggesting that a complete, transient luxation of the glenohumeral joint has occurred.

The stability and potential causes of this seemingly irrational preference were examined across three trials under different conditions, specifically, when the first test pair was identical or different, and when participants were explicitly told that the pairs would often be identical. Choice of no preference typically increased from the first to second trial, especially for groups who saw a pair of different samples on the first trial. The explicit instruction that samples might be the same failed to reduce expressing a preference on the initial trial although it had some effect on later trials. Analysis, by individuals, of sequences of preference or no-preference responses across trials support independence of sequential responses and argue against stable personal traits as a predictor of preference choice. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS More research needs to be done to understand the origins and operation of biases in preference tests. When tested under conditions in which the samples differ only slightly, participants tend to avoid the no-preference option. This is potentially important when interpreting the results of preference tests and assigning practical significance to their outcomes. Also, single trial testing may produce somewhat different results from multi-trial testing, the latter allowing for examination of effects of variation in recent experience.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether adenosine receptor stimulation can mediate protection from eccentric exercise-induced muscle injury. Downhill treadmill exercise (-15°) was used to induce eccentric exercise-mediated skeletal muscle injury. Experiments were conducted in both normal wild-type (WT) mice and also in β-sarcoglycan knockout dystrophic mice, animals that show an exaggerated muscle damage with the stress of exercise. In the vehicle-treated WT animals, eccentric exercise increased serum creatine kinase (CK) greater than 3-fold to 358.9 ± 62.7 U/l (SE). This increase was totally abolished by stimulation of the A3 receptor. In the dystrophic β-sarcoglycan-null mice, eccentric exercise caused CK levels to reach 55,124 ± 5,558 U/l. A3 receptor stimulation in these animals reduced the CK response by nearly 50%. In the dystrophic mice at rest, 10% of the fibers were found to be damaged, as indicated by Evans blue dye staining. While this percentage was doubled after exercise, A3 receptor stimulation eliminated this increase. Neither the A1 receptor agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (0.05 mg/kg) nor the A2A receptor agonist 2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5′-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (0.07 mg/kg) protected skeletal muscle from eccentric exercise injury in WT or dystrophic mice. The protective effect of adenosine A3 receptor stimulation was absent in mice, in which genes for phospholipase C β2/β3 (PLCβ2/β3) and β-sarcoglycan were deleted. The present study elucidates a new protective role of the A3 receptor and PLCβ2/β3 and points to a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for eccentric exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury.

Anecdotal observations led to the conclusion that these Tc responses represent thermoregulatory dysfunction as a result of brain damage. We hypothesized that these Tc responses are mediated by a change in the temperature setpoint. Tc (± 0.1°C; radiotelemetry) of male C57BL/6J mice was monitored while they were housed in a temperature gradient with ambient temperature (Ta) range of 20-39°C to monitor behaviorally selected Ta (Ts) or an indirect calorimeter (Ta = 25°C) to monitor metabolism (V̇O2) and calculate respiratory exchange ratio (RER). Responses to mild and severe HS (thermal area 249.6 ± 18.9 vs. 299.4 ± 19.3°C·min, respectively) were examined through 48 h of recovery. An initial hypothermia following mild HS was associated with warm Ts (∼32°C), ∼35% V̇O2 decrease, and RER ∼0.71 that indicated reliance on fatty acid oxidation. After 24 h, mild HS mice developed hyperthermia associated with warm Ts (∼32°C), 20% O2 increase, and RER ∼0.85. Severe HS mice appeared poikilothermic-like in the temperature gradient with Tc similar to Ts (∼20°C), and these mice failed to recover from hypothermia and develop delayed hyperthermia. Cellular damage (hematoxylin and eosin staining) was undetectable in the hypothalamus or other brain regions in severe HS mice. Overall, decreases and increases in Tc were associated with behavioral and autonomic thermoeffectors that suggest HS elicits anapyrexia and fever, respectively. Taken together, Tc responses of mild and severe HS mice suggest a need for reinterpretation of the mechanisms of thermoregulatory control during recovery.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/07// VL - 29 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1575 EP - 1580 SN - 07307268 AB - Nano-sized aluminum is currently being used by the military and commercial industries in many applications including coatings, thermites, and propellants. Due to the potential for wide dispersal in soil systems, we chose to investigate the fate and effects of nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), the oxidized form of nano aluminum, in a terrestrial organism. The toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of micron-sized (50–200 µm, nominal) and nano-sized (11 nm, nominal) Al2O3 was comparatively assessed through acute and subchronic bioassays using the terrestrial earthworm, Eisenia fetida. Subchronic (28-d) studies were performed exposing E. fetida to nano- and micron-sized Al2O3-spiked soils to assess the effects of long-term exposure. No mortality occurred in subchronic exposures, although reproduction decreased at ≥3,000 mg/kg nano-sized Al2O3 treatments, with higher aluminum body burdens observed at 100 and 300 mg/kg; no reproductive effects were observed in the micron-sized Al2O3 treatments. In addition to toxicity and bioaccumulation bioassays, an acute (48-h) behavioral bioassay was conducted utilizing a soil avoidance wheel in which E. fetida were given a choice of habitat between control, nano-, or micron-sized Al2O3 amended soils. In the soil avoidance bioassays, E. fetida exhibited avoidance behavior toward the highest concentrations of micron- and nano-sized Al2O3 (>5,000 mg/kg) relative to control soils. Results of the present study indicate that nano-sized Al2O3 may impact reproduction and behavior of E. fetida, although at high levels unlikely to be found in the environment. Environ. Toxicol.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/07// VL - 29 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1429 EP - 1437 SN - 07307268 AB - During the last four years, significant effort has been devoted to understanding the effects that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had on contaminant distribution and redistribution in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and the surrounding Gulf Coast area. Elevated concentrations were found for inorganic contaminants (including As, Fe, Pb, and V), several organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and volatiles) and high concentration of bioaerosols, particularly Aeromonas and Vibrio. Data from different research groups confirm that some contaminant concentrations are elevated, that existing concentrations are similar to historical data, and that contaminants such as Pb and As may pose human health risks. Two data sets have been compiled in this article to serve as the foundation for preliminary risk assessments within greater New Orleans. Research from the present study suggests that children in highly contaminated areas of New Orleans may experience Pb exposure from soil ranging from 1.37 µg/d to 102 µg/d. These data are critical in the evaluation of children's health. Environ. Toxicol.

The research consists of analytical modeling verified by experimental results. A rational analytical model is presented and used to evaluate the effective elastic modulus, shear modulus and degree of composite interaction of the panels to resist one-way bending. The experimental program was conducted in two phases to study the static and fatigue behavior of the panels. In the first phase a total of 730 sandwich beams were tested to evaluate the effect of different parameters on the fundamental behavior of the panel. The parameters considered include the pattern and density of through-thickness fiber insertions, the overall thickness of the panels, and the number of FRP plies in the face skins. The study indicates that the shear behavior and degree of composite interaction of the panels is sensitive to the configuration of the panel core. The second phase of the experimental program included testing of 24 additional sandwich panels to evaluate the fatigue behavior. The results of the experimental program indicate that the panels with stiffer cores generally exhibited a higher degree of degradation than panels with more flexible cores. The findings of this study indicate that the proposed panels represent a versatile construction system which can be configured to achieve the specific design demands for civil engineering infrastructure applications.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design with the administration of the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ) and the 55-item Military Women''s Attitudes Towards Menstrual Suppression Scale (MWATMS) to a convenience sample (n = 278) of women in the U.S. Army with deployment experience. Findings: The MAQ''s five subscales'' mean scores ranged from 3.4 (±1.11) to 5.1 (±1.06), indicating neutral to moderate attitudes toward menstruation. Measurement development on the MWATMS produced a nine-item scale with three components: stress effects, benefits to self, and environmental barriers. Conclusion: Menstrual attitudes were generally neutral in this sample; however, military women favor menstrual suppression during deployment owing to the effects of stress during deployment, benefits that suppression would provide, and the barriers to menstrual hygiene in the deployed environment. Women who perceived menstruation as bothersome and debilitating had positive attitudes toward menstrual suppression. These findings can contribute to appropriate predeployment women''s health care and improve the readiness for deployment in female soldiers. Providers should educate women on the risks and benefits of menstrual suppression methods and provide guidance on impact that the deployed environment can have on their menstrual experiences.

JO - International Journal of Multiphysics JF - International Journal of Multiphysics Y1 - 2010/07// VL - 4 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 151 EP - 173 SN - 17509548 AB - This paper describes the usefulness of Lagrangian and arbitrary Lagrangian/Eulerian (ALE) methods in simulating the gun launch dynamics of a generic artillery component subjected to launch simulation in an air gun test. Lagrangian and ALE methods are used to simulate the impact mitigation environment in which the kinetic energy of a projectile is absorbed by the crushing of aluminum honeycomb mitigator. In order to solve the problem due to high impact penetration, a new fluid structure coupling algorithm is developed and implemented in LS-DYNA, a three dimensional FEM code. The fluid structure coupling algorithm used in this paper combined with ALE formulation for the aluminum honeycomb mitigator allows to solve problems for which the contact algorithm in the Lagrangian calculation fails due to high mesh distortion. The numerical method used for the fluid and fluid structure coupling is discussed. A new coupling method is used in order to prevent mesh distortion. Issues related to the effectiveness of these methods in simulating a high degree of distortion of Aluminum honeycomb mitigator with the commonly used material models (metallic honeycomb and crushable foam) are discussed. Both computational methods lead to the same prediction for the deceleration of the test projectile and are able to simulate the behavior of the projectile. Good agreement between the test results and the predicted projectile response is achieved via the presented models and the methods employed.

Here we describe the development, functional annotation, and utilization of genomic tools for the avian wildlife species Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) to determine the molecular impacts of exposure to 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), a field contaminant of military concern. Massively parallel pyrosequencing of a normalized multitissue library of Northern bobwhite cDNAs yielded 71,384 unique transcripts that were annotated with gene ontology (GO), pathway information, and protein domain analysis. Comparative genome analyses with model organisms revealed functional homologies in 8,825 unique Northern bobwhite genes that are orthologous to 48% of Gallus gallus protein-coding genes. Pathway analysis and GO enrichment of genes differentially expressed in livers of birds exposed for 60 days (d) to 10 and 60 mg/kg/d 2,6-DNT revealed several impacts validated by RT-qPCR including: prostaglandin pathway-mediated inflammation, increased expression of a heme synthesis pathway in response to anemia, and a shift in energy metabolism toward protein catabolism via inhibition of control points for glucose and lipid metabolic pathways, PCK1 and PPARGC1, respectively. This research effort provides the first comprehensive annotated gene library for Northern bobwhite. Transcript expression analysis provided insights into the metabolic perturbations underlying several observed toxicological phenotypes in a 2,6-DNT exposure case study. Furthermore, the systemic impact of dinitrotoluenes on liver function appears conserved across species as PPAR signaling is similarly affected in fathead minnow liver tissue after exposure to 2,4-DNT.

Vehicle turning factors including turning radius, velocity, and dynamic weight effects were integrated into the Vehicle Terrain Interaction (VTI) terrain mechanics model to predict rut formation during vehicle turning operations on yielding soils. In the modified VTI model, the resultant force on a single tire is a dynamic variable correlated with the vehicle's dynamic weight, velocity, and turning radius. Field tests using an eight-wheeled light armored vehicle (LAV) were conducted, and the results were analyzed and implemented in a modified VTI sinkage model for turning. The LAV was operated at varying velocities during spiral-pattern turn testing to obtain continuously decreasing radii rutting results. The results of the LAV field tests were analyzed with predictions from the modified VTI, and the conclusion shows that the modified model can be used to predict the influence of turning on soil rutting. Rut depths for both vehicle tracks were predicted for turning operations. Results show a tremendous improvement in prediction of rut depth using the modified VTI model, which includes the effect of turning.

This paper considers static mixers design to increase first appearance times in short, fat reactors. Three types are considered: conical baffles and annular baffles for tubular reactors and axial baffles for reactors with a rectangular cross-section. Relatively simple designs allow production increases (or reactor volume decreases) on the order of 20–50%.

J Clin Periodontol 2010; 37: 667–674. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-051X.2010.01569.x. Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a novel recombinant human GDF-5 (rhGDF-5) construct intended for onlay and inlay indications on periodontal wound healing/regeneration. Methods: Contralateral, surgically created, critical-size, 6-mm, supra-alveolar periodontal defects in five adult Hound Labrador mongrel dogs received rhGDF-5 coated onto β-tricalcium phosphate ( β-TCP) particles and immersed in a bioresorbable poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) composite or the β-TCP/PLGA carrier alone (control). The rhGDF-5 and control constructs were moulded around the teeth and allowed to set. The gingival flaps were then advanced; flap margins were adapted 3–4 mm coronal to the teeth and sutured. The animals were euthanized at 8 weeks post-surgery when block biopsies were collected for histometric analysis. Results: Healing was generally uneventful. A few sites exhibited minor exposures. Three control sites and one rhGDF-5 site (in separate animals) experienced more extensive wound dehiscencies. The rhGDF-5 and control constructs were easy to apply and exhibited adequate structural integrity to support the mucoperiosteal flaps in this challenging onlay model. Limited residual β-TCP particles were observed at 8 weeks for both rhGDF-5/ β-TCP/PLGA and β-TCP/PLGA control sites. The rhGDF-5/ β-TCP/PLGA sites showed significantly greater cementum (2.34 ± 0.44 versus 1.13 ± 0.25 mm, p=0.02) and bone (2.92 ± 0.66 versus 1.21 ± 0.30 mm, p=0.02) formation compared with the carrier control. Limited ankylosis was observed in four of five rhGDF-5/ β-TCP/PLGA sites but not in control sites. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that rhGDF-5 is a promising candidate technology in support of periodontal wound healing/regeneration. Carrier and rhGDF-5 dose optimization are necessary before further advancement of the technology towards clinical evaluation.

Unfortunately, as events turned out, the victorious U.S. Army of some 8 million men that had fought in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) rapidly demobilized once the surrender of Germany (and later Japan) had been achieved. This in turn left Germany and much of Western Europe, already devastated by the effects of the war on their soil vulnerable to exploitation and possible invasion by the Soviet Army. Maintaining the peace in Europe was a U.S. military that was but a remnant of the mighty U.S. and British military machine that had defeated the Wehrmacht, that had now been whittled down to a mere occupation or constabulary force.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Slavic Military Studies is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

T1 - Dense, viscous brine behavior in heterogeneous porous medium systems JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2010/06/25/ VL - 115 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 46 EP - 63 SN - 01697722 AB - Abstract: The behavior of dense, viscous calcium bromide brine solutions used to remediate systems contaminated with dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) is considered in laboratory and field porous medium systems. The density and viscosity of brine solutions are experimentally investigated and functional forms fit over a wide range of mass fractions. A density of 1.7 times, and a corresponding viscosity of 6.3 times, that of water is obtained at a calcium bromide mass fraction of 0.53. A three-dimensional laboratory cell is used to investigate the establishment, persistence, and rate of removal of a stratified dense brine layer in a controlled system. Results from a field-scale experiment performed at the Dover National Test Site are used to investigate the ability to establish and maintain a dense brine layer as a component of a DNAPL recovery strategy, and to recover the brine at sufficiently high mass fractions to support the economical reuse of the brine. The results of both laboratory and field experiments show that a dense brine layer can be established, maintained, and recovered to a significant extent. Regions of unstable density profiles are shown to develop and persist in the field-scale experiment, which we attribute to regions of low hydraulic conductivity. The saturated–unsaturated, variable-density groundwater flow simulation code SUTRA is modified to describe the system of interest, and used to compare simulations to experimental observations and to investigate certain unobserved aspects of these complex systems. The model results show that the standard model formulation is not appropriate for capturing the behavior of sharp density gradients observed during the dense brine experiments.

This report describes a polymer composite loaded with a eutectic metal that is molten during melt processing along with a more traditional Nickel particulate filler. Conductivities over 300 S/cm were achieved, and 60 vol% metals loading was processable with a single screw extruder. The addition of the Nickel particulate was critical for maintaining eutectic dispersion. We anticipate that this approach will facilitate the implementation of conductive polymers into a broader variety of practical applications, due to the enhanced compatibility with standard polymer processing techniques such as extrusion, melt mixing, and resin transfer-molding operations.

The microstructure changes due to annealing were characterized using X-ray line broadening, microhardness, focused ion beam channeling contrast imaging, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additions of 1/3 to 4at.% Zr stabilized nanocrystalline grain sizes at elevated annealing temperatures compared to pure Fe. With 4at.% Zr, a fully nanocrystalline microstructure with a TEM grain size of 52nm was retained at temperatures in excess of 900°C. Alloys with lower Zr contents showed less stability, but still significant compared to pure Fe. Bimodal nano–micro grain size microstructures were also observed.

Both materials exhibit a maximum in the diffusion coefficient as well as anomalous (sub-diffusive) behavior in the mean-squared displacements at short times at some relative pressures. In BPL, the anomalous diffusion occurs at low relative pressures, due to the trapping of argon atoms in small pores. In C-FAU, the anomalous diffusion occurs at high relative pressures, due to competitive diffusion of atoms traveling through windows and constrictions which interconnect the pores. All diffusion eventually tends to Fickian diffusion at longer times.

Fluorescent proteins differ in their DNA sequences from green fluorescent protein (GFP). We identified cDNA encoding the gene of a new protein from the reef coral Hydnophora rigida of the Merulinidae family. Both the spectral properties and putative primary sequence of the protein has been determined. The cloned cDNA encode peptide we call HriCFP is comprised of 134 amino acids. It has characteristics of a cyano fluorescent protein (HriCFP) and its sequence is markedly different from known GFP from the hydroid jellyfish Aequorea victoria. HriCFP was cloned, expressed, purified and exist as monomer. The peptide mass finger print on the purified protein confirmed identity of HriCFP.

Our approach is based on the idea of converting cyanide to the less toxic thiocyanate before it reaches the target organs by utilizing sulfurtransferases (e.g., rhodanese) and sulfur donors in a close proximity by injecting them directly into the blood stream. The inorganic thiosulfate (TS) and the garlic component diallydisulfide (DADS) were compared as sulfur donors with the nano-intercalated rhodanese in vitro and in vivo. The in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that DADS is not a more efficient sulfur donor than TS. However, the utilization of external rhodanese significantly enhanced the in vivo efficacy of both sulfur donor-nitrite combinations, indicating the potential usefulness of enzyme nano-delivery systems in developing antidotal therapeutic agents.

T1 - Fate and effects of Composition B in multispecies marine exposures. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 29 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1330 EP - 1337 SN - 07307268 AB - The vast majority of investigations into the bioavailability and toxicity of explosives to receptors in aquatic environments has focused on deriving toxicity metrics for discrete chemical exposures to single species using pure compounds at relatively high concentrations. This study assessed the environmental fate and potential for biological effects of a common military formulation, Composition B, under more realistic exposure scenarios (e.g., those that more closely simulate a breached artillery round or residual exposure following a low-order detonation). We used a novel approach incorporating multiple species and toxicity endpoints in sediment exposures over a 34-d exposure period. Composition B fragments exposed at the sediment surface rapidly released 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the overlying water column. In comparison, burial of fragments resulted in dramatically reduced exposure, bioconcentration, and toxicity. The addition of a conservative flow rate to the aquaria also reduced water and tissue concentrations by factors of two to three. Although the exposure system likely represented a worst-case scenario relative to most conditions found in coastal and estuarine environments, overlying water concentrations generally did not approach known toxicity thresholds, while porewater concentrations were sufficiently elevated above toxicity thresholds immediately adjacent to the fragments, limiting hazardous exposure only to very localized scales. Bioconcentration correlated closely with observed toxicity and was either not detectable (buried), or low (exposed), as is expected based on the low hydrophobicities of TNT and RDX. Environ. Toxicol.

It is unclear however whether such international awareness will lead to improved environmental management in many regions. We explore this issue by examining the specific case of fish migration and dams on the Mekong river. We determine that dams on the Mekong mainstem and major tributaries will have a major impact on the basin's fisheries and the people who depend upon them for food and income. We find no evidence that current moves towards dam construction will stop, and consider two scenarios for the future of the fisheries and other ecosystems of the basin. We conclude that major investment is required in innovative technology to reduce the loss of ecosystem services, and alternative livelihood strategies to cope with the losses that do occur.

The examined Weibull effective areas spanned ∼0.4-48,000 mm2. Both the air and tin sides were tested. The air side was stronger than the tin side as others have observed; however, the differences in their characteristic strengths decreased with a decreasing effective area, and their strengths converged for effective areas smaller than ∼100 mm2. The failure stress at the smallest effective area examined for the tin side was ∼500% greater than that at the largest effective area, while that difference was ∼250% for the air side. A Weibull modulus change at ∼100 mm2 suggests different strength-limiting flaw types were dominant below and above this effective area. These results reinforce the importance of the interpretation and use of the tensile strength of glass in context to how much of its area is being subjected to tensile stress.

Expected frequency is exponentially related to measured frequency, being dependent on plot size of interest relative to plot size from which measured frequency was obtained. Expected frequency per plot size of interest (Fe) may be expressed as Fe = 1 - (1 - Fs)r, where Fs is measured frequency per plot size sampled and r is the ratio of plot size of interest to plot size sampled. The calculation assumes that plants are randomly distributed, or approximately so, and criteria for presence of plants in plots are consistent in studies being compared.

The inductors and transformers were fabricated on Pyrex substrates with four layers of electrodeposited copper with each layer up to 10 µm thick. Stacked winding layers allowed for mutual coupling between layers to increase areal inductance density. Inductors of various designs exhibited inductance densities of up to 100 nH/mm² and quality factors approaching 20 in the frequency range of interest. Transformers were formed by interleaving primary and secondary coils and were designed with increased inductance in the secondary coil for voltage gain. A fabricated transformer, 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm in area, yielded 46 nH primary inductance and 500 nH secondary inductance with a coupling coefficient of 0.63. Measurements indicated that a maximum transformer efficiency of 78% at 125 MHz would be possible.

Recently, several well-known graph search algorithms have been collectively expressed as two generic algorithms called MLS and MLSM. In this paper, we investigate the properties of the vertex that is numbered 1 by MLS on a chordal graph and by MLSM on an arbitrary graph. We explain how this vertex is an extremity of the graph. Moreover, we show the remarkable property that the minimal separators included in the neighborhood of this vertex are totally ordered by inclusion.

The variance of maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) in the presence of type II right-censoring is almost un-degraded if there also is heavy left-censoring when estimating certain parameters. In fact, if only a single data point, the th recorded failure time, is available, the MLE estimates using the one data point are similar in variance to the estimates using all failure points for all but the most extreme values of . Analytic results are presented for the case of the exponential and Rayleigh distributions, to include the exact distributions of the estimators for the parameters. Simulated results are also presented for the gamma distribution. Implications in life test design and cost savings are explained as a result. Also computational considerations for finding analytic results as well as simulated results in a computer algebra system are discussed.

The objective was to examine how the type of automation imperfection (miss vs. false alarm) affects ATSP performance and attention allocation.Background: Research has shown that the type of automation imperfection leads to differential human performance costs.Method: Participating in four 30-min scenarios were 12 full-performance-level ATSPs. Dependent variables included conflict detection and resolution performance, eye movements, and subjective ratings of trust and self confidence.Results: ATSPs detected conflicts faster and more accurately with reliable automation, as compared with manual performance. When the conflict probe automation was unreliable, conflict detection performance declined with both miss (25% conflicts detected) and false alarm automation (50% conflicts detected).Conclusion: When the primary task of conflict detection was automated, even highly reliable yet imperfect automation (miss or false alarm) resulted in serious negative effects on operator performance.Application: The further in advance that conflict probe automation predicts a conflict, the greater the uncertainty of prediction; thus, designers should provide users with feedback on the state of the automation or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of the data underlying the conflict probe algorithm.

In the cell, the cathode is a sulfur–carbon composite electrode containing appropriate amount of sulfur. In the air, the cathode first functions as an air electrode that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen into lithium peroxide (Li2O2). Upon the end of oxygen reduction, sulfur starts to discharge like a normal Li/S cell. In the absence of oxygen or air, sulfur alone serves as the active cathode material. That is, sulfur is first reduced to form a soluble polysulfide (Li2S x , x ≥4) that subsequently discharges into Li2S through a series of disproportionations and reductions. In general, the Li/S–O2 hybrid cell presents two distinct discharge voltage plateaus, i.e., one at ∼2.7V attributing to the reduction of oxygen and the other one at ∼2.3V attributing to the reduction of sulfur. Since the final discharge products of oxygen and sulfur are insoluble in the organic electrolyte, it is shown that the overall specific capacity of Li/S–O2 hybrid cell is determined by the carbon composite electrode, and that the specific capacity varies with the discharge current rate and electrode composition. In this work, we show that a composite electrode composed by weight of 70% M-30 activated carbon, 22% sulfur and 8% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has a specific capacity of 857mAhg−1 vs. M-30 activated carbon at 0.2mAcm−2 in comparison with 650mAhg−1 of the control electrode consisting of 92% M-30 and 8% PTFE. In addition, the self-discharge of the Li/S–O2 hybrid cell is expected to be substantially lower when compared with the Li/S cell since oxygen can easily oxidize the soluble polysulfide into insoluble sulfur.

Sub-aerial transport processes are represented, whereas sub-aqueous transport is neglected. The system is tightly coupled morphologically, with the berm playing a central role. For example, the potential for sand to be transported to the dune by wind depends on berm width, and sand lost in erosion of the dune during storms can widen the berm. Morphologic equilibrium considerations are introduced to improve reliability of predictions and stability of the non-linear model. An analytical solution is given under simplification to illustrate properties of the model. Sensitivity tests with the numerical solution of the coupled equations demonstrate model performance, with one test exploring beach and dune response to potential increase in storm-wave height with global warming. Finally, the numerical model is applied to examine the consequences of groin shortening at Westhampton Beach, Long Island, New York, as an alternative for providing a sand supply to the down-drift beach. Results indicate that the sand will be released over several decades as the shoreline and dune move landward in adjustment to the new equilibrium condition with the shortened groins.

SC-15 epoxy system was modified using 1–2wt.% of nanoclay. Extent of clay platelet exfoliation in epoxy was evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite panels were fabricated using modified epoxy and exposed to four different conditions, i.e. hot (elevated temperature-dry, wet: 60 and 80°C) and cold (subzero-dry, wet) for 15, 45 and 90 days. Weight change due to conditioning, quasi-static flexure and micrographic characterization were studied on the conditioned samples. Room temperature samples were also tested for baseline consideration. XRD results showed exfoliation of clay platelets in nanoclay–epoxy samples with decrease in peak intensity and increase in interplanar spacing. Samples subjected to hot-wet conditions showed higher percentage weight gain with a maximum of 4.25% in neat and 3.1% in 2wt.% samples. Flexural tests results showed degradation with increasing time. Maximum degradation were observed for hot-wet (80°C) for 90 days neat samples, i.e. 22.6% and 29.8% reduction in flexural strength and stiffness, respectively. However, less degradation was noticed for nanophased composites under similar conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results of failed samples showed better interfacial bonding in nanophased composites.

Vacuum annealing experiments at T a =425, 525, and 625°C show that Ag diffuses to the coating surface to form lubricious surface aggregates and that the rate for Ag lubricant transport increases with T a > T s, as determined by quantitative electron microscopy surface analyses. However, the Ag remains in the CrN matrix for T a < T s. This is attributed to an increasing Ag aggregate size within the composite with increasing T s, leading to a decrease in the chemical potential and, in turn, negligible diffusion until T a exceeds T s. The tribological response during ball-on-disk sliding in ambient air against 6-mm-alumina balls was found to depend strongly on both T s and the testing temperature T t =450, 550, and 650°C. The key parameter that determines lubricant transport and, in turn, tribological properties is the temperature difference ΔT = T t − T s. For ΔT <0, the lubricious Ag within the CrN matrix causes a moderate (25–35%) reduction in the friction coefficient from μ =0.41–0.51 for pure CrN to μ =0.31–0.34 for the composite. In contrast, at ΔT >0, the Ag diffuses to the surface, partially transfers to the counterface, and forms a lubricious interface layer, reducing the friction by up to 60% to μ =0.16–0.24. However, continuous wear at ΔT >0 causes Ag depletion which results in an increasing friction and wear, and ultimately mechanical failure of the coating. The lubricant transport rate and, in turn, the lifetime before the Ag is depleted depend both strongly on ΔT, and can therefore be optimized for a given application.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2010/05/17/ VL - 49 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 4507 EP - 4517 SN - 00201669 AB - A series of mononuclear and dinuclear cyclometalated platinum(II) 6-phenyl-4-(9,9-dihexylfluoren-2-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine complexes (F-1-F-5) were synthesized and their photophysical properties were systematically investigated. All complexes exhibit strong 1π,π* absorption bands in the UV region, and a broad, structureless charge transfer band in the visible region. The charge-transfer band is broadened and red-shifted for F-3-F-5 compared to those for F-1 and F-2 because of the electron-donating acetylide ligand and the involvement of the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer character. The molar extinction coefficients for the dinuclear complex F-5 are much higher than those for the mononuclear complexes F-1-F-4, indicating the electronic coupling through the bridge ligand. All complexes are emissive in solution at room temperature and in glassy matrix at 77 K. When excited at the charge transfer absorption band, the complexes exhibit a long-lived red/orange emission around 600 nm, which is attributed to a triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer/intraligand charge transfer emission (3MLCT/3ILCT). For emission at 77 K, the emitting state is tentatively assigned as 3MLCT for F-2-F-4, and 3MLCT/3π,π* for F-1 and F-5 taking into account the emission energy, the shape of the spectrum, the lifetime, and the thermally induced Stokes shift. F-1-F-4 exhibit broad triplet transient difference absorption in the visible to the near-IR region, with a lifetime comparable to those measured from the decay of the 3MLCT/3ILCT emission. Therefore, F-1-F-4 give rise to a strong reverse saturable absorption for ns laser pulses at 532 nm. Z-scan experiments were carried out at 532 nm using both ns and ps laser pulses, and the experimental data was fitted by a five-band model to extract the singlet and triplet excited-state absorption cross sections. The degree of reverse saturable absorption follows this trend: F-1 = F-2 > F-3 > F-4 > F-5, which is mainly determined by the ratio of the triplet excited-state absorption cross-section to that of the ground-state and the triplet excited-state quantum yield. Comparison of the photophysics of F-1, F-2, and F-3 to those of their corresponding Pt complexes without the fluorenyl substituent discovers that F-1-F-3 exhibit larger molar extinction coefficients for their low-energy charge transfer absorption band, longer triplet excited-state lifetimes, higher emission quantum yields, and increased ratios of the excited-state absorption cross-section to that of the ground-state.

T1 - A cross-shore model of barrier island migration over a compressible substrate JO - Marine Geology JF - Marine Geology Y1 - 2010/05/15/ VL - 271 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 00253227 AB - Abstract: Barrier islands that overlie a compressible substrate, such as islands in deltaic environments or those that overlay mud or peat deposits, load and consolidate the underlying subsurface. Through time, the elevation and aerial extent of these islands are reduced, making them more susceptible to future inundation and overwash. Sand washed over the island and onto back-barrier marsh or into the bay or estuary begins the consolidation process on a previously non-loaded substrate, with time-dependent consolidation as a function of the magnitude of the load, duration of load, and characteristics of the substrate. The result is an increase in the overwash, migration, breaching, and segmentation of these islands. This research developed a two-dimensional (cross-shore) numerical model for evolution of a sandy barrier island that spans durations of years to decades as a function of erosion, runup, overwash, migration, and time-dependent consolidation of the underlying substrate as a function of loading by the island. The model was tested with field data and then applied to evaluate the effects of a compressible substrate on long-term barrier island evolution. Results illustrate that barrier islands overlying a compressible substrate are more likely to have reduced dune elevation due to consolidation, incur overall volumetric adjustment of the profile to fill in compressed regions outside the immediate footprint of the island, and experience increased overwash and migration when the dune reaches a critical elevation with respect to the prevalent storm conditions.

Here, we report on similarly low elastic moduli of <111> textured, nanograined platinum films. In this work the presence of anomalous properties was verified by eliminating possible sources of experimental artifacts, namely the films'' texture, piling-up of material around the indenter tip, substrate effects, microcracking, and delamination of the film from the substrate. Instead, the peculiar behavior of the nanograined, noble metal film was linked to time-dependent, elastic constitutive behavior (i.e., anelasticity).

However, the existing AMR technology does not satisfy the seamless demodulation requirement of the SDR. A novel design of the AMR method with reduced computational complexity and fast processing speed is needed. This paper describes a discrete likelihood-ratio test (DLRT)-based rapid-estimation approach to identifying the modulation schemes blindly for uninterrupted data demodulation in real time. The statistical performance of the fast AMR associated with its implementation using the SDR is presented.

The specific problem analyzed is that of a periodic sequence of Gaussian pulses incident from free space into a forest region (vegetation). The incident pulse train is taken to be a spherical wave that is restricted to a specified solid angle, which is characteristic of radiation produced by a microwave or mm-wave antenna. The forest is modeled as a half-space of randomly distributed particles that scatter and absorb electromagnetic energy. In the forest, strong forward scattering occurs and the theory allows for a comprehensive characterization of the effect of vegetation on the propagation and scattering of spherical wave pulses: their attenuation, their angular spread, their distortion due to pulse broadening.

The objective is to identify optimal settings including the best intrusion detection interval and the best batch rekey interval under which the system lifetime (mean time to security failure) is maximized while satisfying performance requirements. We develop a mathematical model based on stochastic Petri net to analyze tradeoffs between security and performance properties, when given a set of parameter values characterizing operational and environmental conditions of a GCS instrumented with intrusion detection tightly coupled with batch rekeying. We compare our design with a baseline system using intrusion detection integrated with individual rekeying to demonstrate the effectiveness.

Objective: To examine the relationship among sex, generalized joint hypermobility scores, and a history of glenohumeral joint instability within a young, physically active cohort and to describe the incidence of generalized joint hypermobility within this population. Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Patients or Other Participants: Of the 1311 members of the entering freshman class of 2010, 1050 (80%) agreed to participate. Main Outcome Measure(s): Generalized joint hypermobility was assessed using the Beighton Scale. A history of glenohumeral joint instability was identified via a baseline questionnaire. Results: Most participants (78%) had no signs of generalized joint hypermobility. Only 11 volunteers (1.5%) had Beighton Scale scores of 4 or greater. Logistic regression analysis revealed a relationship between generalized joint hypermobility and a history of glenohumeral joint instability (P = .023). When sex and race were controlled, those with a total Beighton Scale score of ≥2 were nearly 2.5 times as likely (odds ratio = 2.48, 95% confidence interval = 1.19, 5.20, P = .016) to have reported a history of glenohumeral joint instability. A relationship was observed between sex and nearly all individual Beighton Scale items. Although women had higher total Beighton Scale scores than men, sex (P = .658) and race (P = .410) were not related to a history of glenohumeral joint instability when other variables in the model were controlled. Conclusions: In these participants, generalized joint hypermobility and a history of glenohumeral joint instability were associated.

Mechanisms considered include elastic stretch and rotation, thermal expansion, and deformation associated with micro-cracks. Decohesion on preferred cleavage planes in the solid, and subsequent effects of crack opening and sliding, are modeled. Explicit volume averaging over an element of material containing displacement discontinuities, in conjunction with the generalized divergence theorem, leads to an additive decomposition of the deformation gradient into contributions from thermoelasticity in the intact material and displacement jumps across micro-cracks. This additive decomposition is converted into a multiplicative decomposition, and the inelastic velocity gradient is then derived in terms of rates of crack extension, opening, and sliding on discrete planes in the microstructure. Elastic nonlinearity at high pressures, elastic moduli degradation from micro-cracking, dilatancy, pressure- and strain rate-sensitive yield, and energy dissipation from crack growth and sliding are formally addressed. Densities of micro-cracks are treated as internal state variables affecting the free energy of the solid. The mean fragment size of particles of failed material arises from geometric arguments in terms of the evolving average crack radius and crack density, with smaller fragments favored at higher loading rates. The model is applied to study granite, a hard polycrystalline rock, under various loading regimes. Dynamic stress–strain behavior and mean fragment sizes of failed material are realistically modeled. Possible inelastic anisotropy can be described naturally via prescription of cleavage planes of varying strengths.

This new compound was synthesized hydrothermally and is an unusual example of a lanthanum containing metal-organic network. The compound contains two distinct La centers, each adopting a nine-coordinate geometry. The structure is built up from zig-zag chains that link via bridging water molecules into a double chain defining edge-sharing six rings. These double chains are arranged into layers and connect through 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate ligands to give the extended 3-D coordination framework. The material is thermally stable to ca. 360°C and transforms to an unknown compound before finally decomposing to phase-pure La2O3 at 800°C. The synthesis, structure, morphology and properties of the new material are described.

The objective of this research is to quantify the bacterial adhesion of Pseudomonas saccharophilia P15 (P15), which is known to biodegrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and to interact with coal tars, within a NAPL–water–mineral system. Through a series of short-pulse column experiments, the transport and deposition of P15 in porous media (quartz sand) as a function of growth state and carbon sources (peptone and naphthalene), and in the presence and absence of residual NAPL (hexadecane), is measured and evaluated. Coating 20% of the quartz grain with hexadecane as a model NAPL increased the retention of P15 by as much as a factor of 26 as compared to the retention exhibited in quartz sand with no NAPL present. P15 grown on peptone and in the late exponential growth state exhibited a greater amount of deposition within the hexadecane column than when it was grown on naphthalene or was in early exponential growth phase. During early growth stage P15 grown on naphthalene adhered stronger to the porous media compared to when grown on peptone. Results were compared with results of MATH assays, where P15 partitioning to hexadecane was evaluated as a function of carbon source and growth state.

Here we evaluate the effects of environmental exposures typically associated with asthma protection or risk on the microbial community structure of household dust (dogs, cats, and day care). PCR-denaturing gradient gel analysis (PCR-DGGE) demonstrated that the bacterial community structure in house dust is significantly impacted by the presence of dogs or cats in the home (P = 0.0190 and 0.0029, respectively) and by whether or not children attend day care (P = 0.0037). In addition, significant differences in the dust bacterial community were associated with asthma outcomes in young children, including wheezing (P = 0.0103) and specific IgE (P = 0.0184). Our findings suggest that specific bacterial populations within the community are associated with either risk or protection from asthma.

The segmented block copolymers have high thermal stability. The BAF PAES homopolymer exhibits a tensile modulus of 1700MPa and an elongation at break of 16%. Copolymerizing BAF PAES with increasing molecular weight amounts of PDMS results in tensile properties ranging from plastic to elastomeric where the elongation is 417% for a segmented block copolymer with 64wt% PDMS incorporated. The morphological properties of these segmented block copolymers were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). AFM and TEM images show the segmented block copolymers were microphase separated, and comparison with bisphenol A (BA) PAES-b-PDMS segmented block copolymers revealed complex differences between the morphological behavior of the two systems. SAXS data of the segmented block copolymers supports AFM and TEM images, indicating microphase separation but little long-range order.

Its growth to more than 8 million was a significant accomplishment. Little known to most, the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration's youth program, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), provided the pretrained manpower to fill the U.S. Army's ranks upon mobilization with men who readily assumed the role of Non--Commissioned Officers (NCOs). It also gave Organized Reserve Corps officers the opportunity to occupy leadership positions, an experience that would have been unavailable otherwise. By the same token, it allowed the Regular Army to assess the leadership potential of both Regular and Reserve Officers in leading future citizen soldiers. Last, it provided the Army with an opportunity to exercise its mobilization plans.

T1 - Role of soil interstitial water in the accumulation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine in the earthworm Eisenia andrei. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 29 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 998 EP - 1005 SN - 07307268 AB - The uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) from soil by the earthworm Eisenia andrei was examined by using the equilibrium partitioning (EqP) theory and a three-compartment model including soil (S), interstitial water (IW), and earthworms (E). The RDX concentrations were measured using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 8330A and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The S-IW studies were conducted using four natural soils with contrasting physicochemical properties that were hypothesized to affect the bioavailability of RDX. Each soil was amended with nominal RDX concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. The HPLC analysis showed that the IW extracted from soil was saturated with RDX at 80 mg/kg or greater soil concentrations. The calculated S-IW coefficient (Kp) values for RDX ranged from 0.4 to 1.8 ml/g soil, depending on the soil type, and were influenced by the organic matter content. In the IW-E studies, earthworms were exposed to nonlethal RDX concentrations in aqueous media. The uptake of RDX by the earthworms correlated well (r2 = 0.99) with the dissolved RDX concentrations. For the E-S studies, earthworms were exposed to RDX-amended soils used in the S-IW studies. The bioconcentration factors (BCF; ratios of E-to-IW RDX concentrations) were relatively constant (∼5) up to 80 mg/kg soil RDX concentrations, which encompass the RDX saturation limit in the interstitial water of the tested soils. At this concentration range, the RDX uptake from interstitial water was likely dominated by passive diffusion and could be used as an indicator of bioavailability. Other mechanisms may be involved at greater RDX soil concentrations. Environ. Toxicol.

It is used primarily for evaluating behavior and survival of juvenile salmonids migrating through the Federal Columbia River Power System to the Pacific Ocean. It provides critical data for salmon protection and development of more "fishfriendly" hydroelectric facilities. The objective of this study was to design and build a Measurement and Calibration System (MCS) for evaluating the JSATS components, because the JSATS requires comprehensive acceptance and performance testing in a controlled environment before it is deployed in the field. The MCS consists of a reference transducer, a water test tank lined with anechoic material, a motion control unit, a reference receiver, a signal conditioner and amplifier unit, a data acquisition board, MATLAB control and analysis interface, and a computer. The fully integrated MCS has been evaluated successfully at various simulated distances and using different encoded signals at frequencies within the bandwidth of the JSATS transmitter. The MCS provides accurate acoustic mapping capability in a controlled environment and automates the process that allows real-time measurements and evaluation of the piezoelectric transducers, sensors, or the acoustic fields. The MCS has been in use since 2009 for acceptance and performance testing of, and further improvements to, the JSATS.

The study was performed on a total of 48 confirmed human CCHF cases from 2006 to 2008. The majority of the CCHF viral strains in Turkey were found to belong to the European lineage. Local CCHF viral strains are grouped into two main clusters, which can be further divided into two sub-groups. We also identified an AP92-like virus causing clinical disease in Corum (a mid-Anatolian province). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the most recent CCHFV infections were caused by intrinsic (or native) CCHF viral strains, which we identified as the local topotype. Comparison of deduced amino acid sequences of S-segment RNAs indicated that the local topotype was derived from viruses of previous years, most likely by a low rate recombination. No genetic differences, based on S- and M-segment RNA sequences, were found between human and tick viral isolates. This data suggest that replication of CCHFV in the tick vector, whether Rhiphicephalus spp. or Hyalomma spp., has no effect on the viral genomic structure.

A two degree-of-freedom model is developed and numerical studies are conducted with this model. These studies, which help shed light on difficult to observe experimental aspects, are used to examine the interaction forces between the shock sensor mass and latch, bounce effects, and loss of contact between the mass and the latch. High-speed video images of the shock sensor motions collected during a latching event are shown, and these results are used to verify the model predictions. Parametric studies conducted to examine the sensitivity of the design to friction and the effects of the latch mass and stiffness properties on the latch bounce are presented and discussed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices JF - IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices Y1 - 2010/04// VL - 57 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 782 EP - 787 SN - 00189383 AB - At the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, a new ternary semiconductor system CdSexTe1-x/Si(211) is being investigated as an alternative substrate to bulk-grown CdZnTe substrates for HgCdTe growth by molecular beam epitaxy. Long-wavelength (LW) photovoltaic devices fabricated on this compliant substrate material show diffusion limited performance at 78 K, indicating a high-quality material. The measured RoA at 78 K on λco = 10 µm material is on the order of 340 Ω · cm². In addition to single devices, we have fabricated 256 x 256 2-D arrays with a 40-µm pixel pitch on LW-HgCdTe grown on CdSexTe1-x/Si(211) compliant substrates. The data show an excellent quantum efficiency operability of 99% at 78 K under a tactical background flux of 6.7 x 1015 ph/cm²s. The most probable dark current at peak distribution is 5.5 x 109 e-/s and is very consistent with the measured RoA values from single devices. This work demonstrates that CdSexTe1-x/Si(211) substrates provide a potential roadmap for more affordable robust third-generation focal plane arrays.

The current study examined the association of specific types of combat experiences with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Methods: 1120 U.S. soldiers who were members of brigade combat infantry teams were surveyed anonymously 3–4 months after returning from deployment to Iraq regarding their experiences in combat and their physical and mental health. Combat items were independently rated and placed into the following categories: (1) Fighting; (2) Killing; (3) Threat to oneself; (4) Death/injury of others; (5) Atrocities; and, (6) Positive experiences. Alcohol misuse was measured using a 2-item alcohol screen combined with alcohol-related behavioral items. Results: Of the soldiers sampled, 25% (N =275) screened positive for alcohol misuse 3–4 months post-deployment; 12% (N =125) screened positive and exhibited alcohol-related behavioral problems. Most combat exposure factors were significantly related to alcohol misuse individually. When factors were analyzed simultaneously, soldiers who had higher rates of exposure to the threat of death/injury were significantly more likely to screen positive for alcohol misuse; exposure to atrocities predicted misuse of alcohol with alcohol-related behavioral problems. Conclusions: High exposure to threatening situations and atrocities was associated with a positive screen for alcohol misuse. Clinicians treating combat veterans should be aware of the potential association of alcohol misuse with specific types of experiences and closely follow those soldiers upon their return home.

Therm. Biol. 29 (2004), 515) to be incorporated in a thermoregulatory model. Simulated individuals with anthropometrics by VI- and VD-MC methods for US Army population were compared using principal component analysis and Fisher''s exact tests. The results indicated that VD-MC data represented overall body size as the primary component and body shape as the secondary component that were more realistic and similar to the measured US Army data (p>0.05) rather than VI-MC data (p<0.05). Such differences consequently affected individual thermoregulatory responses to simulated heat stress. The VD-MC method provides a more realistic representation of individual variability and thus underpins more realistic predictions of individual thermoregulatory responses.

In this work, several advancements to the implementation of the CVBEM are presented. The first advancement is enabling the CVBEM nodes to vary in location, impacting the modeling accuracy depending on chosen node locations. A second advancement is determining values of the CVBEM basis function complex coefficients by collocation at evaluation points defined on the problem boundary but separate and distinct from nodal point locations (if some or all nodes are located on the problem boundary). A third advancement is the implementation of these CVBEM modeling features on computer program Mathematica, in order to reduce programming requirements and to take advantage of Mathematica’s library of mathematical capabilities and graphics features.

Two real-time PCRs (FTT0376 and FTT0523) were designed in genetic sequences identified by the Insignia genome comparison tool (http://insignia.cbcb.umd.edu/) as being unique to pathogenic subspecies of F. tularensis. Both PCRs identified all pathogenic F. tularensis subspecies but did not cross react with avirulent Francisella philomiragia or F. tularensis ssp. novicida or other environmental bacteria. Limits of detection from DNA purified from pure culture (FTT0376 ∼ 80 Ft genome equivalents (GEs) per PCR; FTT0523 ∼ 20 Ft GEs per PCR;) and DNA purified from spiked blood samples (4 × 104 to 4 × 103 cfu ml−1, both assays) were determined.

No evidence of the formation of Mn–H complexes could be detected from either infrared spectroscopy or the changes in magnetic properties. However, the residual magnetization increased ∼20% after hydrogenation, consistent with passivation of crystal defects in (Ga,Mn)N. Hydrogenation may be an attractive method for improving the magnetic properties of these heteroepitaxial materials. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

SN - 0021891X AB - The article presents a study related to poly(acrylonitrile-methyl methacrylate) (AMMA) which is a good binder for the graphite anode of Lithium (Li)-ion batteries. With an advantage of substantially lower solubility in the liquid electrolytes, AMMA has a similar bonding ability as polyvinylidene fluoride binder. The chemical stability of the AMMA binder against the lithiated graphite can be evaluated by observing the open-circuit voltage change of a fully lithiated Li/graphite cell. AMMA can well withstand the attack of the highly reactive lithiated graphite. Furthermore, the presence of AMMA facilitates the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interface.

Elucidating the temporal pattern of chemical composition is vital to understand this feedback, but the effects of plant species and climate on chemical changes remain poorly understood, especially over multiple years. In a 10-year decomposition experiment with litter of four species (Acer saccharum, Drypetes glauca, Pinus resinosa, and Thuja plicata) from four sites that range from the arctic to tropics, we determined the abundance of 11 litter chemical constituents that were grouped into waxes, carbohydrates, lignin/tannins, and proteins/peptides using advanced 13C solid-state NMR techniques. Decomposition generally led to an enrichment of waxes and a depletion of carbohydrates, whereas the changes of other chemical constituents were inconsistent. Inconsistent convergence in chemical compositions during decomposition was observed among different litter species across a range of site conditions, whereas one litter species converged under different climate conditions. Our data clearly demonstrate that plant species rather than climate greatly alters the temporal pattern of litter chemical composition, suggesting the decomposition-chemistry feedback varies among different plant species.

JO - Scientific Reports JF - Scientific Reports Y1 - 2015/10/16/ M3 - Article SP - 8500 SN - 20452322 AB - Advances in nanotechnology have provided unprecedented physical means to sample molecular space. Living cells provide additional capability in that they identify molecules within complex environments and actuate function. We have merged cells with nanotechnology for an integrated molecular processing network. Here we show that an engineered cell consortium autonomously generates feedback to chemical cues. Moreover, abiotic components are readily assembled onto cells, enabling amplified and 'binned' responses. Specifically, engineered cell populations are triggered by a quorum sensing (QS) signal molecule, autoinducer-2, to express surface-displayed fusions consisting of a fluorescent marker and an affinity peptide. The latter provides means for attaching magnetic nanoparticles to fluorescently activated subpopulations for coalescence into colour-indexed output. The resultant nano-guided cell network assesses QS activity and conveys molecular information as a 'bio-litmus' in a manner read by simple optical means.

Mass-spectroscopy measurements show that the rapid diffusion of zinc into PbSe, and reduced diffusion of Pb outward, governs the formation of the nanotubes by a Kirkendall vacancy-condensation mechanism. High-resolution electron microscopy shows that the diameter of the tubes ranges from 10 to 100 nm, and the spacing between neighboring nanotubes is consistent with the equilibrium spacing of misfit dislocations, suggesting that the strain field of misfit dislocations acts as the nucleation site of the nanotubes.

JO - Scientific Reports JF - Scientific Reports Y1 - 2015/09/18/ M3 - Article SP - 14246 SN - 20452322 AB - In this study, we used high-throughput computational screening to discover drug-like inhibitors of the host MyD88 protein-protein signaling interaction implicated in the potentially lethal immune response associated with Staphylococcal enterotoxins. We built a protein-protein dimeric docking model of the Toll-interleukin receptor (TIR)-domain of MyD88 and identified a binding site for docking small molecules. Computational screening of 5 million drug-like compounds led to testing of 30 small molecules; one of these molecules inhibits the TIR-TIR domain interaction and attenuates pro-inflammatory cytokine production in human primary cell cultures. Compounds chemically similar to this hit from the PubChem database were observed to be more potent with improved drug-like properties. Most of these 2nd generation compounds inhibit Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-1β production at 2-10 μM in human primary cells. Biochemical analysis and a cell-based reporter assay revealed that the most promising compound, T6167923, disrupts MyD88 homodimeric formation, which is critical for its signaling function. Furthermore, we observed that administration of a single dose of T6167923 completely protects mice from lethal SEB-induced toxic shock. In summary, our in silico approach has identified anti-inflammatory inhibitors against in vitro and in vivo toxin exposure with promise to treat other MyD88-related pro-inflammatory diseases.

JO - Semiconductor Science & Technology JF - Semiconductor Science & Technology Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 30 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 02681242 AB - Ultra high voltage (UHV, >15 kV) 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) power devices have the potential to significantly improve the system performance, reliability, and cost of energy conversion systems by providing reduced part count, simplified circuit topology, and reduced switching losses. In this paper, we compare the two MOS based UHV 4H-SiC power switching devices; 15 kV 4H-SiC MOSFETs and 15 kV 4H-SiC n-IGBTs. The 15 kV 4H-SiC MOSFET shows a specific on-resistance of 204 mΩ cm2 at 25 °C, which increased to 570 mΩ cm2 at 150 °C. The 15 kV 4H-SiC MOSFET provides low, temperature-independent, switching losses which makes the device more attractive for applications that require higher switching frequencies. The 15 kV 4H-SiC n-IGBT shows a significantly lower forward voltage drop (VF), along with reasonable switching performance, which make it a very attractive device for high voltage applications with lower switching frequency requirements. An electrothermal analysis showed that the 15 kV 4H-SiC n-IGBT outperforms the 15 kV 4H-SiC MOSFET for applications with switching frequencies of less than 5 kHz. It was also shown that the use of a carrier storage layer (CSL) can significantly improve the conduction performance of the 15 kV 4H-SiC n-IGBTs.

JO - Scientific Reports JF - Scientific Reports Y1 - 2015/07/24/ M3 - Article SP - 12415 SN - 20452322 AB - We report lead-free ferroelectric based resistive switching non-volatile memory (NVM) devices with epitaxial (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiFeO3 (x = 0.725) (BT-BFO) film integrated on semiconducting (100) Nb (0.7%) doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) substrates. The piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) measurement at room temperature demonstrated ferroelectricity in the BT-BFO thin film. PFM results also reveal the repeatable polarization inversion by poling, manifesting its potential for read-write operation in NVM devices. The electroforming-free and ferroelectric polarization coupled electrical behaviour demonstrated excellent resistive switching with high retention time, cyclic endurance, and low set/reset voltages. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was utilized to determine the band alignment at the BT-BFO and Nb:STO heterojunction, and it exhibited staggered band alignment. This heterojunction is found to behave as an efficient ultraviolet photo-detector with low rise and fall time. The architecture also demonstrates half-wave rectification under low and high input signal frequencies, where the output distortion is minimal. The results provide avenue for an electrical switch that can regulate the pixels in low or high frequency images. Combined this work paves the pathway towards designing future generation low-power ferroelectric based microelectronic devices by merging both electrical and photovoltaic properties of BT-BFO materials.

JO - Scientific Reports JF - Scientific Reports Y1 - 2015/07/03/ M3 - Article SP - 11772 SN - 20452322 AB - Creating and maintaining precipitates coherent with the host matrix, under service conditions is one of the most effective approaches for successful development of alloys for high temperature applications; prominent examples include Ni- and Co-based superalloys and Al alloys. While ferritic alloys are among the most important structural engineering alloys in our society, no reliable coherent precipitates stable at high temperatures have been found for these alloys. Here we report discovery of a new, nano-sized superlattice (NSS) phase in ball-milled Fe alloys, which maintains coherency with the BCC matrix up to at least 913 °C. Different from other precipitates in ferritic alloys, this NSS phase is created by oxygen-ordering in the BCC Fe matrix. It is proposed that this phase has a chemistry of Fe3O and a D03 crystal structure and becomes more stable with the addition of Zr. These nano-sized coherent precipitates effectively double the strength of the BCC matrix above that provided by grain size reduction alone. This discovery provides a new opportunity for developing high-strength ferritic alloys for high temperature applications.

The ability to recreate the heterogeneity of the natural materials is a major challenge for investigating cell–material interactions and for developing biomimetic materials. Here we present a generic fluidic approach using convection and alternating flow to rapidly generate multi-centimeter gradients of biomolecules, polymers, beads and cells and cross-gradients of two species in a microchannel. Accompanying theoretical estimates and simulations of gradient growth provide design criteria over a range of material properties. A poly(ethylene-glycol) hydrogel gradient, a porous collagen gradient and a composite material with a hyaluronic acid/gelatin cross-gradient were generated with continuous variations in material properties and in their ability to regulate cellular response. This simple yet generic fluidic platform should prove useful for creating anisotropic biomimetic materials and high-throughput platforms for investigating cell–microenvironment interactions.

In this paper, we employ an experience-based cognitive agent architecture (called R-CAST) to address the informational challenges associated with military command and control (C2) decision-making teams, the performance of which can be significantly affected by dynamic context switching and tasking complexities. Using context switching frequency and task complexity as two factors, we conducted an experiment to evaluate whether the use of R-CAST agents as teammates and decision aids can benefit C2 decision-making teams. Members from a U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps organization were randomly recruited as human participants. They were grouped into ten human-human teams, each composed of two participants, and ten human-agent teams, each composed of one participant and two R-CAST agents, as teammates and decision aids. The statistical inference of experimental results indicates that R-CAST agents can significantly improve the performance of C2 teams in multicontext decision making under varying time-stressed situations.

The panels consist of GFRP skins with a foam core and through-thickness fiber insertions. While the behavior of these panels under one-way bending is relatively well understood the behavior under two-way bending has not yet been investigated. An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the effect of the fiber insertion pattern and the panel thickness on the two-way bending behavior under the effect of a concentrated load. The experimental results were used to verify a non-linear, static finite element model which was used to introduce a simplified method to predict the behavior. The measured and predicted responses indicate that at lower deflections the panel behavior is dominated by plate bending action while for higher deflections membrane action dominates. The finite element analysis was extended to study the effect of different parameters which were not tested in the experimental program. The parametric study indicates that increasing the relative flexural or shear rigidities of the panel alters the behavior towards the plate bending mechanism thereby reducing the percentage of load carried by membrane action.

Buckypapers are free-standing thin films consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and/or carbon nanofibers (CNFs) held together by van der Waals forces without any chemical binders. Special mixed buckypapers was developed by layered microstructures with a dense and high-conducting SWNT networks at the surface, as well as large porous structures of CNF networks as back supports. This unique microstructure can lead to improve Pt catalyst accessibility and mass exchange properties. Pt particles of about 6nm were uniformly deposited in porous buckypapers. A promising electrochemical surface area of ∼40m2/g was obtained from these electrodes. A Pt utilization as low as 0.28gPt/kW was achieved for the cathode electrode at 80°C. Pt utilization efficiency can be further improved by optimization of the electrodeposition condition in order to reduce the Pt particle size.

Compared with its strong sorption for metal cations, the abilities of HAP to sorb metal anions, such as arsenic, are less significant. Improving HAP sorption for anionic arsenic species is important for expanding its application potential because the presence of arsenic in the environment has raised serious health concerns and there is need for cost-effective remediation methods. In this work, we report an innovative method of copper doping to improve a synthetic HAP sorption for arsenate, which is a primary aqueous arsenic species, in simulated groundwaters. The undoped HAP and copper doped HAP (CuHAP) were characterized with XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption, and SEM, and then evaluated as sorbents for arsenate removal tests. The experimental results suggest that copper doping changed the morphology and increased the surface area of HAP. The CuHAP sorbed 1.6-9.1× more arsenate than the undoped HAP did in a simulated groundwater at pH of 7.7-8.0. The improved arsenate sorption is presumably due to the increase in surface area of HAP as a result of copper doping. In addition to the copper doping level, the arsenate sorption to HAP and CuHAP can also be increased with increasing water pH and calcium concentration. The experimental data indicate that sorbent dissolution is an important factor governing arsenate sorption to HAP and CuHAP.

In this work, we studied oxygen and hydrogen isotopic evolution from new snow to snow profile and to meltwater through two winter seasons (1998 and 2001) at the Central Sierra Snow Laboratory, California, USA. The slopes of the δD vs. δ 18O regression for the new snow are similar to that of the global meteoric water line (GMWL) of 8. However, this slope decreases in the snow profile and decreases further in the meltwater. We attribute this systematic slope changes to the isotopic exchange between ice and liquid water that is generated at the snow surface by melting and flows through the snowpack by percolation. A physically-based one-dimensional model, including melting of snow at the surface and isotopic exchange between percolating water and ice, was used to simulate isotopic variation of snowmelt in 2001. A successful simulation was obtained for the δD–δ 18O slope of snowmelt (6.5), which is significantly lower than the slope of the meteoric water line (8.2) defined by the new snow. This result indicates that the liquid water evaporation should not be considered as the only process that yields slopes of the δD vs. δ 18O relationship in surface water and groundwater. The d-excess of the snowmelt is changed from the original snow because of the δD–δ 18O relationship controlled by ice–liquid exchange. With a δD–δ 18O slope less than 8, the d-excess would be anti-correlated with δD or δ 18O. The model is also used to examine how isotopic heterogeneity of a snowpack affects the isotopic redistribution in the pore water, ice and meltwater of the snowpack. The results show that isotopic heterogeneity of the snowpack may significantly affect the temporal changes in the δD–δ 18O slopes, and a measured slope at a given time is a combined result of meteorological conditions, which affect both isotopic composition of the original snow and the process of snow metamorphism, and the melting history of the snowpack.

Results show that the discharge performance of Li/O2 cells is determined mainly by the carbon air electrode, instead by the Li anode. A consecutive polarization experiment shows that impedance of the air electrode is progressively increased with polarization cycle number since the surfaces of the air electrode are gradually covered by discharge products, which prevents oxygen from diffusing to the reaction sites of carbon. Based on this observation, we proposed an electrolyte-catalyst “two-phase reaction zone” model for the catalytic reduction of oxygen in carbon air electrode. According to this model, the best case for electrolyte-filling is that the air electrode is completely wetted while still remaining sufficient pores for fast diffusion of gaseous oxygen. It is shown that an electrolyte-flooded cell suffers low specific capacity and poor power performance due to slow diffusion of the dissolved oxygen in liquid electrolyte. Therefore, the status of electrolyte-filling plays an essential role in determining the specific capacity and power capability of a Li/O2 cell. In addition, we found that at low discharge currents the Li/O2 cell showed two discharge voltage plateaus. The second voltage plateau is attributed to a continuous discharge of Li2O2 into Li2O, and this discharge shows high polarization due to the electrically isolating property of Li2O2.

Failure is assumed to ensue at an interface between two elements when a predefined combination of the normal and the tangential tractions on that interface reaches a critical value. We postulate that the critical value of the traction in the cohesive zone failure model decreases affinely with an increase in the temperature. Both particulate and matrix materials are assumed to be isotropic, heat conducting, and to obey the von Mises yield criterion with the flow stress depending upon the effective strain, the effective strain rate, and the temperature according to the Johnson–Cook relation. The coupled transient thermomechanical problem is analyzed by the finite element method by using 3-node triangular elements and the finite calculus technique to prevent volumetric locking. It is found that the critical strength of the bond between the particulate and the matrix significantly influences the loss of strength of the entire specimen. The time of initiation of an ASB is influenced by the time when debonding ensues which depends upon the values of the critical traction and the mode-mixity parameter in the cohesive zone failure criterion.

Nano-Al2O3 can also be generated through the oxidation of nano-aluminum in military propellants and energetics. The purpose of the present study was to assess toxicity and bioaccumulation of nano-Al2O3 to a variety of sediment organisms (Tubifex tubifex, Hyalella azteca, Lumbriculus variegatus, and Corbicula fluminea). The bioaccumulation and toxicity of nano-Al2O3 was compared with that of micron-sized Al2O3 to investigate potential size-related effects. Results of the present study show species-specific differences in relative bioaccumulation of nano and micron-sized Al2O3. Significant toxic effects (survival and growth) were observed in H. azteca testing, but only at high concentrations unlikely to be found in the environment. Nano-Al2O3 was found to be more toxic than micron-sized Al2O3 to H. azteca survival in a 14-d study in which organisms were in direct contact with a thin layer of 625 or 2,500 mg of Al2O3 dispersed on the surface of either sediment or sand. A significant growth effect was also observed for nano but not micron-sized Al2O3 at the highest treatment level tested (100 g/kg Al2O3) in a 10-d H. azteca bioassay in which Al2O3 was homogenized with sediment. However, differences in measured sediment Al concentrations (micron-sized = 55.1 [±0.6] g/kg Al; nano-sized = 66.2 [±0.6] g/kg Al) in the nano and micron-sized Al2O3 preclude direct comparison of the toxicity of these two treatments based on particle size.

This paper reports a method for improving the sensitivity of integrated capacitive chemical sensors by removing the underlying substrate. The sensor is integrated with CMOS testing electronics using maskless postprocessing followed by ink-jet deposition of a sensitive polymer. Two different methods of depositing polymer, namely, capillary wicking and coating the top surface directly, were investigated. The sensors had measured sensitivities of 0.16% to 0.18% change in capacitance per percent relative humidity, which is the highest demonstrated for an integrated capacitive humidity sensor. Temperature sensitivity of the sensor, which is an important criterion for a sensor intended for a variety of different ambient conditions, was measured to be 0.07%/°C. The cross sensitivities to toluene and acetone, which are two common industrial solvents that are filtered by respirator cartridges, were measured to be 2.4 × 10-4 and 9.0 × 10-5%/ppm, respectively.

The device is composed of a spiral-groove viscous pump driven by a radial in-flow microturbine and supported using a newly developed encapsulated microball bearing. A planar-contact bearing raceway is employed using 285-μm-diameter 440C stainless steel microballs. A modification to the raceway geometry, as compared to previous designs, has enabled repeatable operation of themicroturbine at speeds up to 87 000 r/min, showing negligible variations in performance for over 6 h and 3.8 million revolutions. Pumping has been demonstrated with water as the working fluid for flow rates of 10-80 mL/h and pressures rises of up to 8.2 kPa. This is the first application to incorporate an encapsulated microball bearing support mechanism, to achieve rotational speeds in excess of 50 000 r/min using a contact bearing, and to demonstrate reliable operation of more than 1 million revolutions.

A study was initiated to evaluate the uncomposted organic by-product of this process as a soil amendment for establishing native prairie grasses on disturbed Army training lands. The waste was incorporated into a silt loam soil at Fort Campbell Military Reservation in the central United States. The waste material was applied at rates of 0, 4.5, 9, 18, and 36 Mg ha-1 and seeded with native prairie grasses to assess its effects on vegetation for two growing seasons, with an additional unseeded control treatment for comparison to natural recovery. Treatments receiving the highest rate of application had significantly more native grass basal cover and percent composition than the controls. Plant phosphorus accumulation increased significantly with increasing pulp application. Soil phosphorus and lead concentrations increased in the top 10 cm of the highest application rates where pulp was mixed in the soil. Because minimal environmental effects were detected and the pulp improved perennial grass establishment and nutrition at the 36 Mg ha-1 rate, land application should be considered a viable and beneficial alternative to current waste-management practices.

JO - Journal of Educational Psychology JF - Journal of Educational Psychology Y1 - 2010/02// VL - 102 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 223 EP - 233 SN - 00220663 AB - Given the widespread use and high-stakes nature of educational standardized assessments, understanding factors that affect test-taking ability in young adults is vital. Although scholarly attention has often focused on demographic factors (e.g., gender and race), sufficiently prevalent acquired characteristics may also help explain widespread individual differences on standardized tests. In particular, this article focuses on the role that posttraumatic stress symptoms (PSS) potentially play in standardized academic assessments. Using a military sample measured before and after exposure to war-zone stressors, the authors sought to explain test-taking ability differences with respect to symptoms of PTSD on two cognitive tasks that closely match standardized test constructs. The primary method for this analysis is based on an item response theory with covariates approach. Findings suggest that the effect for PSS is significant on both tasks, particularly for those who experience the highest levels of PSS following war-zone exposure. Findings provide potentially valuable information regarding the nature of the relationship between PSS and verbal and logical reasoning test performance.

The Ricinus communis genome encodes seven full-length ricin family members. All encoded proteins have the ability of hydrolyzing adenine in 28S rRNA. As expected, these proteins also inhibited an in vitro transcription/translation system. These data show that the ricin gene family contains at least seven members that have the ability to inhibit translation and that may contribute to the toxicity of R. communis.

Knowledge-based and generative systems are combined to construct a method for characterizing existing buildings, in particular, their interior layouts based on exterior features and certain other parameters such as location and real dimensions. The knowledge-based model contains information about spatial use, organization, elements, and contextual information, with the shape grammar principally containing style rules. Buildings are analyzed and layouts are generated through communication and interaction between these two systems. The benefit of using an interactive system is that the complementary properties of the two schemes are employed to strengthen the overall process. Ontologies capture knowledge relating to architectural design principles, building anatomy, structure, and systems. Shape grammar rules embody change through geometric manipulation and transformation. Existing buildings are analyzed using this approach, and three-dimensional models are automatically generated. Two particular building types, the vernacular rowhouse and high-rise apartment building, both from Baltimore, Maryland, are presented to illustrate the process and for comparing the utilized methodologies.

EMG is sensitive to a variety of psychological processes and can mask genuine effects or masquerade as legitimate neurogenic effects across the scalp in frequencies at least as low as the alpha band (8–13 Hz). Although several techniques for correcting myogenic activity have been described, most are subjected to only limited validation attempts. Attempts to gauge the impact of EMG correction on intracerebral source models (source “localization” analyses) are rarer still. Accordingly, we assessed the sensitivity and specificity of one prominent correction tool, independent component analysis (ICA), on the scalp and in the source-space using high-resolution EEG. Data were collected from 17 participants while neurogenic and myogenic activity was independently varied. Several protocols for classifying and discarding components classified as myogenic and non-myogenic artifact (e.g., ocular) were systematically assessed, leading to the exclusion of one-third to as much as three-quarters of the variance in the EEG. Some, but not all, of these protocols showed adequate performance on the scalp. Indeed, performance was superior to previously validated regression-based techniques. Nevertheless, ICA-based EMG correction exhibited low validity in the intracerebral source-space, likely owing to incomplete separation of neurogenic from myogenic sources. Taken with prior work, this indicates that EMG artifact can substantially distort estimates of intracerebral spectral activity. Neither regression- nor ICA-based EMG correction techniques provide complete safeguards against such distortions. In light of these results, several practical suggestions and recommendations are made for intelligently using ICA to minimize EMG and other common artifacts.

Carbohydrate (CHO) and caffeine (CAF) supplementation appear efficacious at enhancing endurance exercise performance when studied under ideal circumstances, but the unique challenges imposed by environmental stressors such as heat may minimize or negate these effects. Similar to findings in temperate or cool environments, CHO intake during endurance exercise in hot environments produces a consistent performance benefit. But in contrast to the benefits observed in moderate environments, CAF affords no apparent performance advantage in the heat. These findings raise interesting questions about nutritional ergogenic mechanisms of action and offer direction for future research.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2010/01/26/ VL - 49 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 547 EP - 559 SN - 00062960 AB - The organophosphate acid anhydrolase (OPAA) is a member of a class of bimetalloenzymes that hydrolyze a variety of toxic acetylcholinesterase-inhibiting organophosphorus compounds, including fluorine- containing chemical nerve agents. It also belongs to a family of prolidases, with significant activity against various Xaa-Pro dipeptides. Here we report the X-ray structure determination of the native OPAA (58 kDa mass) from Alterotnonas sp. strain JD6.5 and its cocrystal with the inhibitor mipafox [N,N'-diisopropyldiamidofluorophosphate (DDFP)], a close analogue of the nerve agent organophosphate substrate diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP). The OPAA structure is composed of two domains, amino and carboxy domains, with the latter exhibiting a "pita bread" architecture and harboring the active site with the binuclear Mn2+ ions. The native OPAA structure revealed unexpectedly the presence of a well-defined nonproteinaceous density in the active site whose identity could not be definitively established but is suggestive of a bound glycolate, which is isosteric with a glycine (Xaa) product. All three glycolate oxygens coordinate the two Mn2+ atoms. DDFP or more likely its hydrolysis product, N,N'-diisopropyldiamidophosphate (DDP), is present in the cocrystal structure and bound by coordinating the binuclear metals and forming hydrogen bonds and nonpolar interactions with active site residues. An unusual common feature of the binding of the two ligands is the involvement of only one oxygen atom of the glycolate carboxylate and the product DDP tetrahedral phosphate in bridging the two Mn2+ ions. Both structures provide new understanding of ligand recognition and the prolidase and organophosphorus hydrolase catalytic activities of OPAA.

Increasing the growth temperature from T s =500 to 600 to 700°C leads to Ag segregation within the CrN matrix and the formation of embedded lamellar Ag aggregates with increasing size, <105, 9×106, and 7×107 nm3, respectively. Ball-on-disk tests against 100Cr6 steel, followed by optical profilometry and energy dispersive spectroscopy, indicate that the Ag grains for T s =500°C are too small to facilitate an effective lubricious surface layer, resulting in a friction coefficient μ =0.58 and a composite coating wear rate of 3.8×10−6 mm3/Nm that are nearly identical to those measured for pure CrN with μ =0.64 and 3.6×10−6 mm3/Nm. The T s =600°C coating exhibits a Ag concentration which is 15% higher within than outside the wear track, and acts as a lubricious layer that reduces μ to 0.47 and yields a 16× and 2.4× lower wear rate for coating and counterface, respectively. T s =700°C leads to a dramatic increase in surface roughness and an associated increase in friction, μ =0.85, and wear, 9.9×10−6 mm3/Nm. Replacing the steel counterface with an alumina ball results in the lowest μ =0.50 for T s =500°C, attributed to the presence of Ag and the relatively low hardness of 16.5GPa for this particular coating. In contrast, friction and wear increase dramatically for T s =600°C, which is attributed to a breakdown of the lubricious Ag layer by the harder counterface. The transient friction coefficient μt during experiments with continuously increasing testing temperature T t =25–700°C initially decreases for all samples, attributed to drying of the environment and an effective softening of both coating and counterface. For the T s =500°C coating, a temperature activated solid lubricant transport yields a lubricious Ag surface layer and a very low μ t =0.05 at T t ~500°C. All coatings exhibit an increasing μ t for T t >500°C, which is attributed to oxidative degradation.

T1 - Characterization of military fog oil by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography JO - Journal of Chromatography A JF - Journal of Chromatography A Y1 - 2010/01/22/ VL - 1217 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 550 EP - 557 SN - 00219673 AB - The most commonly used military fog oil is characterized by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) coupled to either Flame Ionization Detection (FID) or Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometric Detection (TOFMS) to advance the knowledge regarding the complete chemical makeup of this complex matrix. Two different GC×GC column sets were investigated, one employing a non-polar column combined with a shape selective column and the other an inverse column set (medium-polar/non-polar). The inverse set maximizes the use of the two-dimensional separation space and segregates aliphatic from aromatic fractions. The shape selective column best separates individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the bulk oil. The results reveal that fog oil (FO) is composed mainly of aliphatic compounds ranging from C10 to C30, where naphthenes comprise the major fraction. Although many different species of aromatics are present, they constitute only a minor fraction in this oil, and no conjugated PAHs are found. The composition of chemically similar aliphatic constituents limits the analytical power of silica gel fractionation and GC–MS analysis to characterize FO. Among the aliphatic compounds identified are alkanes, cyclohexanes, hexahydroindanes, decalins, adamantanes, and bicyclohexane. The aromatic fraction is composed of alkylbenzene compounds, indanes, tetrahydronaphthalenes, partially hydrogenated PAHs, biphenyls, dibenzofurans and dibenzothiophenes. This work represents the best characterization of military fog oil to date. As the characterization process shows, information on such complex samples can only be parsed using a combination of sample preprocessing steps, multiple detection schemes, and an intelligent selection of column chemistries.

Utilizing anthrax protective antigen as a model antigen, we demonstrate that electroporation mediated delivery enhanced the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines in nonhuman primates over 100-fold as compared to conventional intramuscular injection. Two administrations of a DNA vaccine with electroporation elicited anthrax toxin neutralizing antibody responses in 100% of rhesus macaques. Toxin neutralizing antibodies were sustained for the nearly 1-year study duration and were correlated with protection against subsequent lethal Bacillus anthracis spore challenge. Collectively, electroporation mediated DNA vaccination conferred protection comparable to that observed following vaccination with an FDA approved anthrax vaccine.

These structures were not observed in control reactions lacking ligase or adenosine triphosphate. Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed no spectra indicative of carbon nanotubes in ligase-unamended controls; however, spectra were observed in radial breathing mode and in the G and G′ bands in reactions containing ligase. Furthermore, the addition of deoxyribonuclease to the ligated reactions dispersed the aggregates, and a reduction in Raman spectral intensity was observed.

There are seven serotypes (A–G) of BoNT having distinct cleavage sites on the SNARE substrates. The proteolytic activity is located on the N-terminal light chain (Lc) domain and is used extensively as the primary target toward therapeutic development against botulism. Here we describe an improved method using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) whereby quantitative data were obtained in 1/10th the time using 1/20th the sample and solvent volumes compared with a widely used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. We also synthesized a VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane protein)-based peptide containing an intact V1 motif that was efficiently used as a substrate by BoNT/D Lc. Although serotype C1 cleaves the serotype A substrate at a bond separated by only one residue, we were able to distinguish the two reactions by UPLC. The new method can accurately quantify as low as 7pmol of the peptide substrates for BoNT serotypes A, B, C1, and D. We also report here that the catalytic efficiency of serotype A can be stimulated 35-fold by the addition of Triton X-100 to the reaction mixture. Combining the use of Triton X-100 with the newly introduced UPLC method, we were able to accurately detect very low levels of proteolytic activity in a very short time. Sensitivity of the assay and accuracy and rapidity of product analysis should greatly augment efforts in therapeutic development.

Consequently, the evidence indicating a convergence of primary aspects of the two roles presages an important societal development, with substantial implications on several levels. Thus, this article has several objectives. First, it reviews the evidence indicating role convergence, that is, evidence that significant segments of police operations in the United States have taken on military characteristics; and evidence indicating that many U.S. military initiatives have taken on policing characteristics. Next, using the notion of internal and external role-change "drivers," it examines how such role shifts occur and considers some political and legal implications of the shift. Third, the article compares the role orientations and job demands of both professions, identifying the important differences inherent in the two roles and presenting an analysis of the occupational implications of role convergence for job holders, job evaluators, and job "clients" (i.e., ordinary citizens). The last section considers the implications of role convergence for role management.

A conformal coating of a silane has been applied using a molecular vapor deposition technique. The resulting surface has shown a static contact angle of 134° with the water droplet. SEM, AFM and XPS have been used to study the surface modification. This is a highly promising approach for anti-icing applications due to its scalability at a very low cost.

Routine screening for depression and suicidal ideation is recommended of all adult patients in the primary care setting because it offers depressed patients a greater chance of recovery and response to treatment, yet such screening often is overlooked or omitted. Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop, to implement, and to test the efficacy of a systematic depression screening process to increase the identification of depression in family members of active duty soldiers older than 18 years at a military family practice clinic located on an Army infantry post in the Pacific. Methods: The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care was used to develop a practice guideline incorporating a decision algorithm for nurses to screen for depression. A pilot project to institute this change in practice was conducted, and outcomes were measured. Results: Before implementation, approximately 100 patients were diagnosed With depression in each of the 3 months preceding the practice change. Approximately 130 patients a month were assigned a 311.0 Code 3 months after the practice change, and 140 patients per month received screenings and were assigned the correct International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision Code 311.0 at 1 year. The improved screening and Coding for depression and suicidality added approximately 3 minutes to the patient screening process. The education of staff in the process of screening for depression and correct coding coupled with monitoring and staff feedback improved compliance with the identification and the documentation of patients with depression. Nurses were more likely than primary care providers to agree strongly that screening for depression enhances quality of care. Discussion: Data gathered during this project support the integration of military and civilian nurse-facilitated screening for depression in the military primary care setting. The decision algorithm should be adapted and tested in other primary care environments.

Methods: Two-hour observations were conducted on a convenience sample of 100 ventilated patients not diagnosed with VAP and the clinical staff that interacted with them. Instrumentation included a compliance checklist, a demo- graphic patient survey, and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation/EIV® tool. Unit-specific educational interventions were designed and implemented on each participating unit. Results: The VAP and the ventilator day rates did not improve significantly. There were no significant changes in clinician adherence to hand hygiene, provision of oral care, or patient positioning. Discussion: Despite implementation of both structured and creative education, team-based approach, and frequent staff reminders, patient outcomes and staff compliance did not improve significantly. Unit-based education interventions may not be the best strategy to facilitate change. Organizations with frequent changes in personnel and leadership may not have the unit-level infrastructure necessary to attain and sustain change.

JO - Oral History Review JF - Oral History Review Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 37 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 34 SN - 00940798 AB - Since the “Greatest Generation” is rapidly passing from the scene, this article maintains that the time is ripe for the oral history community to engage in a serious examination of the strengths and weaknesses of World War II veteran interviews. Using a small case study about the battle of Okinawa (April–June 1945), the essay examines some aspects of the memory quality of World War II veterans interviewed late in life. It presents three arguments. First, American veterans of World War II were frequently reticent about recounting their memories. They often waited until late in life to do so. Second, the American World War II veterans’ interviews were generally reliable and accurate even when given late in life. Nonetheless, some problems were encountered in interviewing veterans long after a battle. Third, the veterans could provide greater detail about their initial experiences during a campaign. Recollections about their later experiences during the same the campaign were foggier. The author concedes, however, that the small size of his case study means that the conclusions can only have validity if confirmed by the experience of other oral history interviewers. Hence the author's goal is to initiate this important conversation rather than to conclude it.

JO - Calcified Tissue International JF - Calcified Tissue International Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 86 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 8 EP - 13 SN - 0171967X AB - Submariners taking part in prolonged missions are exposed to environmental factors that may adversely affect bone health. Among these, relatively high levels of CO2, lack of sunlight exposure affecting vitamin D metabolism, limited physical activity, and altered dietary habits. The aims of this study were to examine the effect of a prolonged submersion (30 days) on changes in bone strength using quantitative bone speed of sound and in markers of bone metabolism that include bone turnover (BAP, PINP, TRAP5b, and CTx) and endocrine regulators (serum calcium, PTH, and 25[OH]D) in a group of 32 young healthy male submariners. The prolonged submersion led to increases in body weight and BMI and to a decrease in fitness level. There was a significant decrease in bone strength following the submersion. Speed of sound exhibited continued decline at 4 weeks after return to shore and returned to baseline levels at the 6-month follow-up. There was a significant increase in circulating calcium level. PTH and 25(OH)D levels decreased significantly. Significant decreases were observed in both TRAP5b and CTx levels, markers of bone resorption, as well as in N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (PINP), a bone formation marker. Prolonged submersion led to a significant decrease in bone strength, accompanied by an overall decrease in bone metabolism. Bone strength was regained only 6 months after return to shore. Prevention and/or rehabilitation programs should be developed following periods of relative disuse even for young submariners. The effects of repeated prolonged submersions on bone health are yet to be determined.

JO - Sequencing JF - Sequencing Y1 - 2010/01// M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 6 SN - 20900325 AB - Rothia mucilaginosa is an opportunistic pathogen in the human oral cavity and pharynx. We found that R. mucilaginosa DY-18, a clinical isolate from a persistent apical periodontitis lesion, had biofilm-like structures. Similar structures were also observed on R. mucilaginosa ATCC25296. To further study these structures, we determined the complete genome sequence of DY-18 and found it a 2.26-Mb chromosome. Regarding stress responsive systems known to affect biofilm formation in many bacteria, DY-18 genome possessed only two sigma factor genes. One of these encoded an additional sigma factor whose promoter-binding activity may be regulated in response to environmental stimuli. Additionally, several genes assigned to two-component signal transduction systems were presented in this genome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first complete genome of R. mucilaginosa species and our data raise the possibility that this organism regulates the biofilm phenotype through these stress responsive systems.

However, little is known about the incidence rate and injury patterns associated with ankle sprains in this population. Objective: To examine the incidence of ankle sprains among active-duty members of the US Armed Services from 1998 through 2006. A secondary objective was to describe the sex, age, and service-specific injury patterns in this young, physically active population. Design: Cohort study. Patients or Other Participants: All active-duty service members from the day they enter military service until the day they leave military service and US Army Reserve and National Guard service members during periods of active duty and mobilization. Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury data were extracted from the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database from 1998 through 2006. All data for ankle sprains, coded according to the International Classification of Diseases (9th revision), were included. Cases were limited to those injuries reported as first occurrences. Incidence rates (IRs) were calculated per 1000 person-years by sex, age, and service. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between the incidence of ankle sprain and the independent variables of sex, age, and service. Results: From 1998 through 2006, 423581 service members sustained ankle sprains and 12 118863 person-years at risk to injury were documented in this population. The incidence rate was 34.95 (95% Cl = 34.85, 35.06) per 1000 person-years at risk. Females were 21% more likely (IRA = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.21, 1.23) to sustain an ankle sprain than males. Sex-specific IR varied by age and service. Differences in the rate of ankle sprains were also noted by age and service. Conclusions: The incidence of ankle sprains among US service members was 5 times greater than that previously reported in civilian population studies. Sex, age, and branch of military service are important factors related to the incidence of ankle sprains in this population.

Zinc functions in antioxidant defense and DNA repair and could be important for prostate health. We hypothesized that marginal zinc deficiency sensitizes the prostate to oxidative stress and DNA damage. Rats were fed a zinc-adequate (ZA; 30 mg Zn/kg) or marginally zinc-deficient (MZD; 5–6 mg Zn/kg) diet for 6 weeks. MZD increased p53 and PARP expression but no change in 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels was detected. To examine the susceptibility to exogenous oxidative stress, rats fed a ZA or MZD diet were assigned to exercising (EXE) or sedentary (SED) groups for 9 weeks. MZD or EXE alone did not affect oxidative DNA damage in the prostate; however, combined MZD + EXE increased DNA damage in the dorsolateral lobe. PARP and p53 expression was not further induced with MZD + EXE, suggesting that MZD interferes with DNA repair responses to stress. Finally, the addition of phytase to the MZD diet successfully restored zinc levels in the prostate and decreased DNA damage back to ZA levels. Overall, this study suggests that marginal zinc deficiency sensitizes the prostate to oxidative stress and demonstrates the importance of maintaining optimal zinc nutrition in physically active populations.

JO - Journal of Immune Based Therapies & Vaccines JF - Journal of Immune Based Therapies & Vaccines Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 8 M3 - Article SP - 9 EP - 17 SN - 14768518 AB - Background: Staphylococcal enterotoxins are considered potential biowarfare agents that can be spread through ingestion or inhalation. Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a widely studied superantigen that can directly stimulate T-cells to release a massive amount of proinflammatory cytokines by bridging the MHC II molecules on an antigen presenting cell (APC) and the Vβ chains of the T-cell receptor (TCR). This potentially can lead to toxic, debilitating and lethal effects. Currently, there are no preventative measures for SEB exposure, only supportive therapies. Methods: To develop a potential therapeutic candidate to combat SEB exposure, we have generated three human B-cell hybridomas that produce human monoclonal antibodies (HuMAbs) to SEB. These HuMAbs were screened for specificity, affinity and the ability to block SEB activity in vitro as well as its lethal effect in vivo. Results: The high-affinity HuMAbs, as determined by BiaCore analysis, were specific to SEB with minimal crossreactivity to related toxins by ELISA. In an immunoblotting experiment, our HuMAbs bound SEB mixed in a cell lysate and did not bind any of the lysate proteins. In an in vitro cell-based assay, these HuMAbs could inhibit SEB-induced secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines (INF-γ and TNF-α) by primary human lymphocytes with high potency. In an in vivo LPS-potentiated mouse model, our lead antibody, HuMAb-154, was capable of neutralizing up to 100 μg of SEB challenge equivalent to 500 times over the reported LD50 (0.2 μg) , protecting mice from death. Extended survival was also observed when HuMAb-154 was administered after SEB challenge. Conclusion: We have generated high-affinity SEB-specific antibodies capable of neutralizing SEB in vitro as well as in vivo in a mouse model. Taken together, these results suggest that our antibodies hold the potential as passive immunotherapies for both prophylactic and therapeutic countermeasures of SEB exposure.

JO - Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Optics: Concepts in Modern Optics JF - Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Optics: Concepts in Modern Optics Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 40 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 163 EP - 174 SN - 15430537 AB - The singlet excited-state absorption properties of rive 4'-(5"'-R-pyrimidyl)-2, 2':6', 2"-terpyridyl platinum(II) phenylacetylide complexes were investigated using fs pump-probe UV-Vis spectroscopy. These complexes exhibit broad, moderately intense S1-Sn absorption from 500 to 800 nm, which could be attributed to the MLCT state. The S1-Sn absorption band energy is influenced by the substituent on the 5"'-position of the pyrimidyl ring, with an electron-donating substituent increasing the energy and electron-withdrawing substituent decreasing it. The singlet excited-state lifetime deduced from the decay of the fs transient absorption is in the range of 37-139 ps. Open-aperture Z-scan experiments using ns and ps lasers at 532 nm were carried out for all five complexes 1-5 in CH3CN solution, and the wavelength dispersion characteristics of 1 were investigated using ps laser pulses at various wavelengths. Reverse saturable absorption (RSA) is observed in all complexes at 532 nm at both ns and ps pulse widths, and RSA occurs in 1 over the range 500-600 nm at ps pulse widths. By fitting the experimental Z-scan data using a five-level dynamic model, one obtains values for the singlet and tripler excited-state absorption cross-sections (σs and σT, respectively); for 1-5, these vary from (18 ±: 1) x 10-18 cm² to (50 ± 5) x 10-18 cm² for σs and (1l ± 1) x 10-18 cm² to (14 ± 2) x 10-18 cm² for σT at 532 nm, corresponding to ratios σs/σg of 6.5-29.8 and ratios σT/σg of 2.8-11.2. Complexes 1, 2 and 4 exhibit much larger ratios σs/σg than those of 3 and 5. Moreover, in complex 1 the σs/σg ratio shows a sharp rise from 1.9 at 500 nm to 260 at 600 nm.

The new side-chain polymer exhibits an absorption maximum at ~395 nm and is essentially transparent for wave-lengths greater than about 470 nm. A 2.7-µm film of the polymer was poled and the electro-optic activity r33 of the poled thin film measured at 532 nm using the Teng-Man technique, yielding a value of 12 ± 2 pm/V. Various 700-µm-thick plaques of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) doped with Disperse Red 1 dye (DR1) in various concentrations were fabricated and poled. Birefringence is observed in the poled regions of the plaques, and second-harmonic generation (SHG) Maker fringe data at 1319 nm demonstrates the existence of significant ordering of the DR1 chromophores as a result of the poling process. The r33-value of the resulting poled thick samples, determined from an analysis of the Maker fringe data, is estimated to be 6.1 pm/V at 810 nm, which compares favorably with the highest r33 observed in a DR1-copolymer system (7.5 pm/V). The use of micro-compounding in processing the doped polymer appears to inhibit aggregation of dye molecules, leading to more efficient poling and a higher resulting EO activity at a given dye loading.

Tungsten has a complex geochemistry, existing in most environmental matrices as the soluble and mobile tungstate anion, as well as poly- and heteropolytungstates. Because the geochemistry of tungsten is substantially different than most trace metals, including the formation of insoluble species under acidic conditions, it is not extracted from soil matrices using standard acid digestion procedures. Therefore, the current work describes a modification to a commonly used acid digestion procedure to facilitate quantification of tungsten in soil matrices. Traditional soil digestion procedures, using nitric and hydrochloric acids with hydrogen peroxide yield <1 up to 50% recovery on soil matrix spike samples, whereas the modified method reported here, which includes the addition of phosphoric acid, yields spike recoveries in the 76–98% range. Comparison of the standard and modified digestion procedures on National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Materials yielded significantly improved tungsten recoveries for the phosphoric acid modified method. The modified method also produces comparable results for other acid extractable metals as the standard methods, and therefore can be used simultaneously for tungsten and other metals of interest.

One such control, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), has received renewed interest after decades of underutilization and neglect. With renewed interest, however, come renewed questions, especially regarding efficacy and safety. There is a long history of investigations concluding that, if used properly, UVGI can be safe and highly effective in disinfecting the air, thereby preventing transmission of a variety of airborne infections. Despite this long history, many infection control professionals are not familiar with the history of UVGI and how it has, and has not, been used safely and effectively. This article reviews that history of UVGI for air disinfection, starting with its biological basis, moving to its application in the real world, and ending with its current status.

Excavation of a sample of the most promising anomalies identified foundations, stone-lined and pit cellars, wells, a privy, and other features. Archival records available during the fieldwork provided no evidence for the presence of four features constructed in the 1840s and 1850s. Features directly associated with houses, such as foundations and cellars, are located very near the platted locations of streets, alleys, and comers, whereas many of the non-residential features occur in the middle portions of lots.

JO - Saline Systems JF - Saline Systems Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 6 M3 - Article SP - 11 EP - 18 SN - 17461448 AB - Background: Fairy shrimps (Anostraca), tadpole shrimps (Notostraca), clam shrimps (Spinicaudata), algae (primarily filamentous blue-green algae [cyanobacteria]), and suspended organic particulates are dominant food web components of the seasonally inundated pans and playas of the western Mojave Desert in California. We examined the extent to which these branchiopods controlled algal abundance and species composition in clay pans between Rosamond and Rogers Dry Lakes. We surveyed branchiopods during the wet season to estimate abundances and then conducted a laboratory microcosm experiment, in which dried sediment containing cysts and the overlying algal crust were inundated and cultured. Microcosm trials were run with and without shrimps; each type of trial was run for two lengths of time: 30 and 60 days. We estimated the effect of shrimps on algae by measuring chlorophyll content and the relative abundance of algal species. Results: We found two species of fairy shrimps (Branchinecta mackini and B. gigas), one tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus lemmoni), and a clam shrimp (Cyzicus setosa) in our wet-season field survey. We collected Branchinecta lindahli in a pilot study, but not subsequently. The dominant taxa were C. setosa and B. mackini, but abundances and species composition varied greatly among playas. The same species found in field surveys also occurred in the microcosm experiment. There were no significant differences as a function of experimental treatments for either chlorophyll content or algal species composition (Microcoleus vaginatus dominated all treatments). Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no direct effect of shrimps on algae. Although the pans harbored an apparently high abundance of branchiopods, these animals had little role in regulating primary producers in this environment.

JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2010/01/02/2010 Supplement 1 VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: Reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks using information theory models has received much attention due to its simplicity, low computational cost, and capability of inferring large networks. One of the major problems with information theory models is to determine the threshold which defines the regulatory relationships between genes. The minimum description length (MDL) principle has been implemented to overcome this problem. The description length of the MDL principle is the sum of model length and data encoding length. A user-specified fine tuning parameter is used as control mechanism between model and data encoding, but it is difficult to find the optimal parameter. In this work, we proposed a new inference algorithm which incorporated mutual information (MI), conditional mutual information (CMI) and predictive minimum description length (PMDL) principle to infer gene regulatory networks from DNA microarray data. In this algorithm, the information theoretic quantities MI and CMI determine the regulatory relationships between genes and the PMDL principle method attempts to determine the best MI threshold without the need of a user-specified fine tuning parameter. Results: The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated using both synthetic time series data sets and a biological time series data set for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The benchmark quantities precision and recall were used as performance measures. The results show that the proposed algorithm produced less false edges and significantly improved the precision, as compared to the existing algorithm. For further analysis the performance of the algorithms was observed over different sizes of data. Conclusions: We have proposed a new algorithm that implements the PMDL principle for inferring gene regulatory networks from time series DNA microarray data that eliminates the need of a fine tuning parameter. The evaluation results obtained from both synthetic and actual biological data sets show that the PMDL principle is effective in determining the MI threshold and the developed algorithm improves precision of gene regulatory network inference. Based on the sensitivity analysis of all tested cases, an optimal CMI threshold value has been identified. Finally it was observed that the performance of the algorithms saturates at a certain threshold of data size.

T1 - Individual vs. combinatorial effect of elevated CO2 conditions and salinity stress on Arabidopsis thaliana liquid cultures: Comparing the early molecular response using time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses. JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 177 EP - 191 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: In this study, we investigated the individual and combinatorial effect of elevated CO2 conditions and salinity stress on the dynamics of both the transcriptional and metabolic physiology of Arabidopsis thaliana liquid hydroponic cultures over the first 30 hours of continuous treatment. Both perturbations are of particular interest in plant and agro-biotechnological applications. Moreover, within the timeframe of this experiment, they are expected to affect plant growth to opposite directions. Thus, a major objective was to investigate whether this expected "divergence" was valid for the individual perturbations and to study how it is manifested under the combined stress at two molecular levels of cellular function, using high-throughput analyses. Results: We observed that a) high salinity has stronger effect than elevated CO2 at both the transcriptional and metabolic levels, b) the transcriptional responses to the salinity and combined stresses exhibit strong similarity, implying a robust transcriptional machinery acting to the salinity stress independent of the co-occurrence of elevated CO2, c) the combinatorial effect of the two perturbations on the metabolic physiology is milder than of the salinity stress alone. Metabolomic analysis suggested that the beneficial role of elevated CO2 on salt-stressed plants within the timeframe of this study should be attributed to the provided additional resources; these allow the plants to respond to high salinity without having to forfeit other major metabolic functions, and d) 9 h-12 h and 24 h of treatment coincide with significant changes in the metabolic physiology under any of the investigated stresses. Significant differences between the acute and longer term responses were observed at both molecular levels. Conclusions: This study contributes large-scale dynamic omic data from two levels of cellular function for a plant system under various stresses. It provides an additional example of the power of integrated omic analyses for the comprehensive study of the molecular physiology of complex biological systems. Moreover, taking into consideration the particular interest of the two investigated perturbations in plant biotechnology, enhanced understanding of the molecular physiology of the plants under these conditions could lead to the design of novel metabolic engineering strategies to increase the resistance of commercial crops to salinity stress.

JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 160 EP - 183 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: During infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis confronts a generally hostile and nutrient-poor in vivo host environment. Existing models and analyses of M. tuberculosis metabolic networks are able to reproduce experimentally measured cellular growth rates and identify genes required for growth in a range of different in vitro media. However, these models, under in vitro conditions, do not provide an adequate description of the metabolic processes required by the pathogen to infect and persist in a host. Results: To better account for the metabolic activity of M. tuberculosis in the host environment, we developed a set of procedures to systematically modify an existing in vitro metabolic network by enhancing the agreement between calculated and in vivo-measured gene essentiality data. After our modifications, the new in vivo network contained 663 genes, 838 metabolites, and 1,049 reactions and had a significantly increased sensitivity (0.81) in predicted gene essentiality than the in vitro network (0.31). We verified the modifications generated from the purely computational analysis through a review of the literature and found, for example, that, as the analysis suggested, lipids are used as the main source for carbon metabolism and oxygen must be available for the pathogen under in vivo conditions. Moreover, we used the developed in vivo network to predict the effects of double-gene deletions on M. tuberculosis growth in the host environment, explore metabolic adaptations to life in an acidic environment, highlight the importance of different enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid-cycle under different limiting nutrient conditions, investigate the effects of inhibiting multiple reactions, and look at the importance of both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration during infection. Conclusions: The network modifications we implemented suggest a distinctive set of metabolic conditions and requirements faced by M. tuberculosis during host infection compared with in vitro growth. Likewise, the doublegene deletion calculations highlight the importance of specific metabolic pathways used by the pathogen in the host environment. The newly constructed network provides a quantitative model to study the metabolism and associated drug targets of M. tuberculosis under in vivo conditions.

T1 - Fathead minnow steroidogenesis: in silicoanalyses reveals tradeoffs between nominaltarget efficacy and robustness to cross-talk. JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 4 M3 - Article SP - 89 EP - 105 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: Interpreting proteomic and genomic data is a major challenge in predictive ecotoxicology that can be addressed by a systems biology approach. Mathematical modeling provides an organizational platform to consolidate protein dynamics with possible genomic regulation. Here, a model of ovarian steroidogenesis in the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, (FHM) is developed to evaluate possible transcriptional regulation of steroid production observed in microarray studies. Results: The model was developed from literature sources, integrating key signaling components (G-protein and PKA activation) with their ensuing effect on steroid production. The model properly predicted trajectory behavior of estradiol and testosterone when fish were exposed to fadrozole, a specific aromatase inhibitor, but failed to predict the steroid hormone behavior occurring one week post-exposure as well as the increase in steroid levels when the stressor was removed. In vivo microarray data implicated three modes of regulation which may account for over-production of steroids during a depuration phase (when the stressor is removed): P450 enzyme up-regulation, inhibin down-regulation, and luteinizing hormone receptor up-regulation. Simulation studies and sensitivity analysis were used to evaluate each case as possible source of compensation to endocrine stress. Conclusions: Simulation studies of the testosterone and estradiol response to regulation observed in microarray data supported the hypothesis that the FHM steroidogenesis network compensated for endocrine stress by modulating the sensitivity of the ovarian network to global cues coming from the hypothalamus and pituitary. Model predictions of luteinizing hormone receptor regulation were consistent with depuration and in vitro data. These results challenge the traditional approach to network elucidation in systems biology. Generally, the most sensitive interactions in a network are targeted for further elucidation but microarray evidence shows that homeostatic regulation of the steroidogenic network is likely maintained by a mildly sensitive interaction. We hypothesize that effective network elucidation must consider both the sensitivity of the target as well as the target's robustness to biological noise (in this case, to cross-talk) when identifying possible points of regulation.

In the past few years, tools and techniques that facilitate studies and interventions in the nanoscale range have become widely available and have drawn widespread attention. Recently, investigators in the food and nutrition sciences have been applying the tools of nanotechnology in their research. The Experimental Biology 2009 symposium entitled "Nanotechnology Research: Applications in Nutritional Sciences" was organized to highlight emerging applications of nanotechnology to the food and nutrition sciences, as well as to suggest ways for further integration of these emerging technologies into nutrition research. Speakers focused on topics that included the problems and possibilities of introducing nanoparticles in clinical or nutrition settings, nanotechnology applications for increasing bioavailability of bioactive food components in new food products, nanotechnology opportunities in food science, as well as emerging safety and regulatory issues in this area, and the basic research applications such as the use of quantum dots to visualize cellular processes and protein-protein interactions. The session highlighted several emerging areas of potential utility in nutrition research. Nutrition scientists are encouraged to leverage ongoing efforts in nanomedicine through collaborations. These efforts could facilitate exploration of previously inaccessible cellular compartments and intracellular pathways and thus uncover strategies for new prevention and therapeutic modalities [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Nutrition is the property of American Society for Nutrition and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - International Journal of Biometeorology JF - International Journal of Biometeorology Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 54 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 84 SN - 00207128 AB - Abstract  With global warming forecast to continue into the foreseeable future, heat waves are very likely to increase in both frequency and intensity. In urban regions, these future heat waves will be exacerbated by the urban heat island effect, and will have the potential to negatively influence the health and welfare of urban residents. In order to investigate the health effects of the urban heat island (UHI) in Shanghai, China, 30 years of meteorological records (1975–2004) were examined for 11 first- and second-order weather stations in and around Shanghai. Additionally, automatic weather observation data recorded in recent years as well as daily all-cause summer mortality counts in 11 urban, suburban, and exurban regions (1998–2004) in Shanghai have been used. The results show that different sites (city center or surroundings) have experienced different degrees of warming as a result of increasing urbanization. In turn, this has resulted in a more extensive urban heat island effect, causing additional hot days and heat waves in urban regions compared to rural locales. An examination of summer mortality rates in and around Shanghai yields heightened heat-related mortality in urban regions, and we conclude that the UHI is directly responsible, acting to worsen the adverse health effects from exposure to extreme thermal conditions.

In standard JPM implementations, it is necessary to consider a very large number of combinations of storm parameters, and each such combination (or synthetic storm) requires the simulation of wind, waves, and surge. The tools used to model the wave and surge phenomena have improved greatly in recent years, but this improvement and the use of very large high-resolution grids have made the computations both time-consuming and expensive. In order to ease the computational burden, two independent approaches have been developed to reduce the number of storm surge simulations that are required. Both of these so-called JPM-OS (JPM-Optimal Sampling) methods seek to accurately cover the entire storm parameter space through optimum selection of a small number of parameter values so as to minimize the number of required storm simulations. Tests done for the Mississippi coast showed that the accuracy of the two methods is comparable to that of a full JPM analysis, with a reduction of an order of magnitude or more in the computational effort.

Storm surge surrounded the polder that comprises heavily populated sections of the Parish in addition to the Lower 9th Ward section of Orleans Parish. Surge propagated along several pathways to reach levees and walls around the polder''s periphery. Extreme water levels led to breaches in the levee/wall system which, along with wave overtopping and steady overflow, led to considerable flood water entering the polder. Generation and evolution of the storm surge as it propagated into the region is examined using results from the SL15 regional application of the ADCIRC storm surge model. Fluxes of water into the region through navigation channels are compared to fluxes which entered through Lake Borgne and over inundated wetlands surrounding the lake. Fluxes through Lake Borgne and adjacent wetlands were found to be the predominant source of water reaching the region. Various sources of flood water along the polder periphery are examined. Flood water primarily entered through the east and west sides of the polder. Different peak surges and hydrograph shapes were experienced along the polder boundaries, and reasons for the spatial variability in surge conditions are discussed.

T1 - Physical model study of wave and current conditions at 17th Street Canal breach due to Hurricane Katrina JO - Ocean Engineering JF - Ocean Engineering Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 37 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 58 SN - 00298018 AB - Abstract: A 1:50 scale physical model was constructed for the 17th Street Canal region, New Orleans, on the southern coast of Lake Pontchartrain, as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force (IPET) study of Hurricane Katrina. The purpose of the 1350m2 physical model that represented about 3.4km2 of the local area was to aid in defining wave and water velocity conditions in the 17th Street Canal during the time period leading up to the breaching of the floodwall within the Canal. In the immediate period following this disaster, there were many hypothesis of failure put forth in the media. Some of these hypothesis indicated wave action may have been the underlying cause of the failure of the 17th Street Canal floodwall. Some performed numerical work with inappropriate boundary conditions, which indicated strong wave-generated currents may have caused erosion along the floodwalls. This physical model study indicated a number of wave-attenuating processes occurring as waves approached the location of the breach. Wave height reduction resulted due to: (1) refraction of wave energy over the shallower submerged land areas surrounding the harbor away from the canal; (2) reflection of energy off vertical walls in the region between the entrance to the canal near the Coast Guard Harbor and the bridge; and (3) interaction of the wave with the Hammond Highway bridge, including reflection and transmission loss. Wave heights near the lakeside of the bridge were 0.3–0.9m in height, reduced from 1.8 to 2.7m wave heights in the open lake. Waves on the south side of the bridge, near the breach, were further reduced to heights below 0.3m. These results supported the conclusion that waves were not a significant factor for the 17th Street Canal floodwall failure. Other IPET investigations determined floodwall failure was of a geotechnical nature due to the high surge water level. The physical model also provided calibration information for numerical wave models. The effects of debris on flow and waves after the breach was formed were also investigated.

For isotropic bodies, it can theoretically range from +1/2 to -1; the experimental gamut for anisotropics is even larger. The ratio is positive for all combinations of directions in most crystals. But as far back as the 1800s, Voigt and others found that negative values were encountered for some materials, a property now called auxeticity. Here we examine this property from the point of view of crystal stability and compute extrema of the ratio for various interesting and technologically important materials. Potential applications of the auxetic property are mentioned.

JO - Aquatic Sciences JF - Aquatic Sciences Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 72 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 69 SN - 10151621 AB - Abstract  Backwaters connected to large rivers retain nitrate and may play an important role in reducing downstream loading to coastal marine environments. A summer nitrogen (N) inflow-outflow budget was examined for a flow-regulated backwater of the upper Mississippi River in conjunction with laboratory estimates of sediment ammonium and nitrate fluxes, organic N mineralization, nitrification, and denitrification to provide further insight into N retention processes. External N loading was overwhelmingly dominated by nitrate and 54% of the input was retained (137 mg m−2 day−1). Ammonium and dissolved organic N were exported from the backwater (14 and 9 mg m−2 day−1, respectively). Nitrate influx to sediment increased as a function of increasing initial nitrate concentration in the overlying water. Rates were greater under anoxic versus oxic conditions. Ammonium effluxes from sediment were 26.7 and 50.6 mg m−2 day−1 under oxic and anoxic conditions, respectively. Since anoxia inhibited nitrification, the difference between ammonium anoxic–oxic fluxes approximated a nitrification rate of 29.1 mg m−2 day−1. Organic N mineralization was 64 mg m−2 day−1. Denitrification, estimated from regression relationships between oxic nitrate influx versus initial nitrate concentration and a summer lakewide mean nitrate concentration of 1.27 mg l−1, was 94 mg m−2 day−1. Denitrification was equivalent to only 57% of the retained nitrate, suggesting that another portion was assimilated by biota. The high sediment organic N mineralization and ammonium efflux rate coupled with the occurrence of ammonium export from the system suggested a possible link between biotic assimilation of nitrate, mineralization, and export.

ABET Inc. is the only recognized institution for the accreditation of engineering, computing, and technology programs in the U.S. There are currently over 128 U.S. schools that offer information technology degree programs listed on the Princeton Review Website and many of these schools are preparing for, or considering undergoing, the rigors of the ABET accreditation process (Princeton Review, 2010). As a result, there is a greater need for administrators and faculty to better understand the accreditation process. To help satisfy this need, a survey of nine accredited programs was done to determine commonalities of successful programs. This paper describes the ABET program criteria and how successful programs have accomplished learning outcomes assessment.

In this study, three commercially available generic screening technologies were evaluated for the effectiveness to accurately differentiate between a hoax powder and a true biological threat. The BioCheck® Kit was able to detect the following biological agents 1×108 CFU of B. anthracis Sterne (washed 4 times), 1×107 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne (washed 2 times), 1×107 CFU of Yersinia pestis A1122, and 100μg of ricin. The Prime Alert™ kit was able to detect 2×1010 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne 4×, 1×109 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne 2×, and 1×108 CFU of Y. pestis A1122. The Prime Alert™ kit was not able to detect ricin. The Profile®-1 kit was able to detect 1×104 CFU of B. anthracis ΔSterne 4× and B. anthracis ΔSterne 2×, and 1×106 CFU of Y. pestis A1122. The Profile®-1 kit was not able to detect ricin. All of the kits showed positive results for powders containing components specifically targeted by the particular technology being used. Each technology assessed in this evaluation employs a different mechanism for the detection of biological materials and it is important that first responders are aware of the strengths and the limitations of each system so that they can effectively employ the technology to protect the homeland.

We have found that the accuracy of the COSMO-RS approach for prediction of water solubility of liquid nitro compounds is impressively high (the errors are lower than 0.1 LU). However, for some solid nitro compounds, especially nitramines, there is sufficient disagreement between calculated and experimental values. In order to increase the accuracy of predictions the quantitative structure—property relationship (QSPR) part of the COSMO-RS approach has been modified. The solubility values calculated by the modified COSMO-RS method have shown much better agreement with the experimental values (the mean absolute errors are lower than 0.5 LU). Furthermore, this technique has been used for prediction of water solubility for an expanded set of 23 nitro compounds including nitroaromatic, nitramines, nitroanisoles, nitrogen rich compounds, and some their nitroso and amino derivatives with unknown experimental values. The solubility values predicted using the proposed computational technique could be useful for the determination of the environmental fate of military and industrial wastes and the development of remediation strategies for contaminated soils and waters. This predictive capability is especially important for unstable compounds and for compounds that have yet to be synthesized.

Because of its highly contagious nature and high mortality rate, smallpox has significant potential as a biological weapon. Unfortunately, the current vaccine for orthopoxviruses is contraindicated for large portions of the population. Thus, there is a need for new, safe, and effective orthopoxvirus vaccines. Alphavirus replicon vectors, derived from strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, are being used to develop alternatives to the current smallpox vaccine. Here, we demonstrated that virus-like replicon particles (VRPs) expressing the vaccinia virus A33R, B5R, A27L, and L1R genes elicited protective immunity in mice comparable to vaccination with live-vaccinia virus. Furthermore, cynomolgus macaques vaccinated with a combination of the four poxvirus VRPs (4pox-VRP) developed antibody responses to each antigen. These antibody responses were able to neutralize and inhibit the spread of both vaccinia virus and monkeypox virus. Macaques vaccinated with 4pox-VRP, flu HA VRP (negative control), or live-vaccinia virus (positive control) were challenged intravenously with 5×106 pfu of monkeypox virus 1 month after the second VRP vaccination. Four of the six negative control animals succumbed to monkeypox and the remaining two animals demonstrated either severe or grave disease. Importantly, all 10 macaques vaccinated with the 4pox-VRP vaccine survived without developing severe disease. These findings revealed that a single-boost VRP smallpox vaccine shows promise as a safe alternative to the currently licensed live-vaccinia virus smallpox vaccine.

Methods: In a community-based, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trial, we evaluated four priming injections of a recombinant canarypox vector vaccine (ALVAC-HIV [vCP1521]) plus two booster injections of a recombinant glycoprotein 120 subunit vaccine (AIDSVAX B/E). The vaccine and placebo injections were administered to 16,402 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 years in Rayong and Chon Buri provinces in Thailand. The volunteers, primarily at heterosexual risk for HIV infection, were monitored for the coprimary end points: HIV-1 infection and early HIV-1 viremia, at the end of the 6-month vaccination series and every 6 months thereafter for 3 years. Results: In the intention-to-treat analysis involving 16,402 subjects, there was a trend toward the prevention of HIV-1 infection among the vaccine recipients, with a vaccine efficacy of 26.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], −4.0 to 47.9; P=0.08). In the per-protocol analysis involving 12,542 subjects, the vaccine efficacy was 26.2% (95% CI, −13.3 to 51.9; P=0.16). In the modified intention-to-treat analysis involving 16,395 subjects (with the exclusion of 7 subjects who were found to have had HIV-1 infection at baseline), the vaccine efficacy was 31.2% (95% CI, 1.1 to 52.1; P=0.04). Vaccination did not affect the degree of viremia or the CD4+ T-cell count in subjects in whom HIV-1 infection was subsequently diagnosed. Conclusions: This ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E vaccine regimen may reduce the risk of HIV infection in a community-based population with largely heterosexual risk. Vaccination did not affect the viral load or CD4+ count in subjects with HIV infection. Although the results show only a modest benefit, they offer insight for future research.

The shape of the male genitalia suggests it is a hybrid between Cx. pipiens and Cx. quinquefasciatus. We studied populations of Cx. p. pallens in Japan, Korea, and China and compared them to local populations of Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. p. pipiens. We examined variation in a nuclear intron in the acetylcholinesterase-2 gene [ACE] and eight microsatellite loci. We found a distinct microsatellite signature for Cx. p. pallens indicating restricted gene flow between Eastern and Western populations of Cx. pipiens, supporting the existence of two subspecies. Furthermore, a multilocus genotype analysis revealed current hybridization between Cx. p. pallens and Cx. quinquefasciatus in southern Japan, Republic of Korea, and China but not in Hokkaido, in northern Japan. Surprisingly, however, we found that the sex-linked ACE locus in chromosome I has introgressed asymmetrically through the males such that all male Cx. p. pallens have a copy of the Cx. quinquefasciatus ACE locus. This result highlights some of the potential consequences of hybridization between local and introduced species to disease transmission worldwide.

As forward scattering is the dominant mechanism for the near-ground wave propagation scenario, the associated rapidly-varying phase components of the integral equation kernel and solution unknowns are deduced and isolated in advance and subsequently built into the solver. It is shown that by applying this method, when combining with an adaptive surface segmentation routine, as. few as one to two average unknowns per wavelength is adequate in obtaining accurate solutions. This significantly reduces the memory storage and computational expense for the simulation of long-distance propagation effects. The efficiency of this method is further improved by incorporating it into the framework of the fast multipole scheme. The full details of the algorithm are discussed, along with performance comparisons of the new solver to a regular Nyström solver for terrain surfaces in terms of solution convergence.

EVIDENCE FROM NEST-BOX PROGRAMS. JO - Journal of Raptor Research JF - Journal of Raptor Research Y1 - 2009/12// VL - 43 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 274 EP - 282 SN - 08921016 AB - The article presents a study on the causes of decline in the populations of American Kestrel (Falco Sparverius) in North America. The study explored three possible clauses: the distribution of West Nile virus (WNV), predation by Cooper's Hawks and shortfall of appropriate habitat. Researchers used nest boxes to study trends in the quantities of both resident and migratory kestrel populations in eight study places. It says that every population suffered major declines; the average yearly decline in nest-box percentage was three percent.

In repeats in toxin (RTX) domains, calcium binding triggers the natively unstructured domain to adopt a β roll structure. Here we present an in vitro Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based method for the investigation of the conformational behavior of an RTX domain from the Bordetella perlussis adenylate cyclase consisting of nine repeat units. Equilibrium and stopped-flow FRET between fluorescent proteins, attached to the termini of the domain, were measured in an analysis of the end-to-end distance changes in the RTX domain. The method was complemented with circular dichroism spectroscopy, tryptophan fluorescence, and bis-ANS dye binding. High ionic strength was observed to decrease the calcium affinity of the RTX domain. A truncation and single amino acid mutations yielded insights into the structural determinants of β roll formation. Mutating the conserved Asp residue in one of the nine repeats significantly reduced the affinity of the domains for calcium ions. Removal of the sequences flanking the repeat domain prevented folding, but replacing them with fluorescent proteins restored the conformational behavior, suggesting an entropic stabilization. The FRET-based method is a useful technique that complements other low-resolution techniques for investigating the dynamic conformational behavior of the RTX domain and other intrinsically disordered protein domains.

In this study a computer model of human physiology was compared to results obtained from experiments using Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) analog model of human hemorrhage. LBNP has been demonstrated to produce physiologic changes in humans consistent with hemorrhage. The computer model contains over 4000 parameters that describe the detailed integration of physiology based upon basic physical principles and established biologic interactions. The LBNP protocol consisted of a 5min rest period (0mmHg) followed by 5min of chamber decompression of the lower body to −15, −30, −45, and −60mmHg and additional increments of −10mmHg every 5min until the onset of hemodynamic decompensation (n =20). Physiologic parameters recorded include mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), and venous oxygen saturation (SVO2; from peripheral venous blood), during the last 30s at each LBNP level. The computer model analytic procedure recreates the investigational protocol for a virtual individual in an In Silico environment. After baseline normalization, the model predicted measurements for MAP, CO, and SVO2 were compared to those observed through the entire range of LBNP. Differences were evaluated using standard statistical performance error measurements (median performance error (PE) <5%). The simulation results closely tracked the average changes observed during LBNP. The predicted MAP fell outside the standard error measurement for the experimental data at only LBNP −30mmHg while CO was more variable. The predicted SVO2 fell outside the standard error measurement for the experimental data only during the post-LBNP recovery point. However, the statistical median PE measurement was found to be within the 5% objective error measure (1.3% for MAP, −3.5% for CO, and 3.95% for SVO2). The computer model was found to accurately predict the experimental results observed using LBNP. The model should be explored as a platform for studying concepts and physiologic mechanisms of hemorrhage including its diagnosis and treatment.

The methods are applied to a targeted parametric investigation of the effects of stitch density on strength properties and potential benefits of through-thickness reinforcement, such as resistance to transverse shear and delamination, with some consequent loss of in-plane properties. Direct modeling of the exact microstructure from scanning electron microscope visualization provides a precise knowledge of the mechanics and the failure modes of the microstructure under various loading conditions. Modeling results are verified by comparison to experimental data. In-plane stiffness and strength are predicted with 90% or better accuracy. Transverse shear stiffness was less well predicted, but strength was still predicted within 86% accuracy.

Accordingly, the World Religions Chaplain position has moved from the classroominto the military unit. Military chaplains can offer a “prophetic” voice that mitigates the risks of misapplied secular or religious thought. Using a balanced approach, they can remind the military of the religious connections in the mission.

Before the American Revolution, chaplains tried to convert Native Americans to Christianity. As the United States military became more pluralistic and more engaged in conflicts around the world, chaplains sought to win the hearts and minds of the people in the area of operations. For example, Chaplain William D. McKennon pursued peace with Filipinos during the Spanish-American War. The major influence that brought chaplains to the platform as instructors in World Religions was the involvement of the United States in Vietnam from 1962–1973.

Infinite dilution diffusion coefficients (D 0) of PS and dynamic second virial coefficients (k D) were determined for essentially monodisperse 308kDa PS. At a system pressure of 20.7MPa, PS diffusion coefficients increased by a factor of 2.5, and the activation energy of diffusion decreased by approximately 16% when DHN was “expanded” with 44mol% CO2. However, the hydrodynamic radius of PS at a given temperature was not particularly sensitive to the CO2 concentration. Solvent quality, as measured by k D, decreased at higher CO2 concentrations. The addition of CO2 to polymer solutions may offer a way to “tune” the properties of the solution to facilitate the heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of polymers.

Our work, based on in-depth high-resolution liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry analysis along with extensive NMR study, led us to structurally characterize 42-hydroxy-palytoxin, a new palytoxin congener. This toxin and palytoxin itself appeared to be the major components of toxic extract from a P. tuberculosasample, while 42-hydroxy-palytoxin was proven by far to be the main palytoxin derivative in P. toxica. Functional studies on this new palytoxin-like compound suggest that the new palytoxin analogue and palytoxin itself present similar biological activities.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2009/11/03/ VL - 48 IS - 43 M3 - Article SP - 10416 EP - 10422 SN - 00062960 AB - Human serum paraoxonase-1 (HuPON1) has the capacity to hydrolyze aryl esters, lactones, oxidized phospholipids, and organophosphorus (UP) compounds. HuPON1 and bacterially expressed chimeric recombinant PON1s (G2E6 and G3C9) differ by multiple amino acids, none of which are in the putative enzyme active site. To address the importance of these amino acid differences, the abilities of HuPON1, G2E6, G3C9, and several variants to hydrolyze phenyl acetate, paraoxon, and V-type OP nerve agents were examined. HuPON1 and G2E6 have a lU-fold greater catalytic efficiency toward phenyl acetate than G3C9. In contrast, bacterial PON1s are better able to promote hydrolysis of paraoxon, whereas HuPON1 is considerably better at catalyzing the hydrolysis of nerve agents VX and VR. These studies demonstrate that mutations distant from the active site of PUN I have large and unpredictable effects on the substrate specificities and possibly the hydrolytic mechanisms of HuPON1, G2E6, and G3C9. The replacement of residue H115 in the putative active site with tryptophan (H115W) has highly disparate effects on HuPON1 and G2E6. In HuPON1, variant H115W loses the ability to hydrolyze VR but has improved activity toward paraoxon and VX. The H115W variant of G2E6 has paraoxonase activity similar to that of wild-type G2E6, modest activity with phenyl acetate and VR, and enhanced VX hydrolysis. VR inhibits H115W HuPON1 competitively when paraoxon is the sxtbstrate and noncompetitively when VX is the substrate. We have identified the first variant of HuPON1, H115W, that displays significantly enhanced catalytic activity against an authentic V-type nerve agent.

Accordingly, police departments, military organizations, and intelligence agencies seek to learn these preferences and identify locations with a high probability of experiencing the particular event of interest in the near future. Often, such agencies are keen not just to predict the spatial pattern of future events but even more importantly to conduct threat assessments of particular criminal gangs or insurgent groups. These threat assessments include identifying where each of the various groups presents the greatest threat to the community, what the most likely targets are for each criminal group, what makes one location more likely to experience an attack than another, and how to most efficiently allocate resources to address the specific threats to the community. Previous research has demonstrated that applying multivariate prediction models to relate features in an area to the occurrence of crimes offers an improvement in predictive performance over traditional methods of hot-spot analysis. This paper introduces the application of multilevel modeling to these multivariate spatial choice models, demonstrating that it is possible to significantly improve the predictive performance of the spatial choice models for individual groups and leverage that information to provide improved threat assessments of the criminal elements in a given geographic area.

The presence of metal–metal and π–π interactions in the dinuclear and trinuclear complexes results in a significant increase in their respective σ g’s in the visible spectral region. As a result, the ratio of σ s/σ g and σ T/σ g at each wavelength is significantly greater for the mononuclear complex than for the dinuclear and the trinuclear complexes.

This paper presents a methodology for inferring road type and traffic congestion (RT&TC) levels from available onboard vehicle data and then using this information for improved vehicle power management. A machine-learning algorithm has been developed to learn the critical knowledge about fuel efficiency on 11 facility-specific drive cycles representing different road types and traffic congestion levels, as well as a neural learning algorithm for the training of a neural network to predict the RT&TC level. An online University of Michigan-Dearborn intelligent power controller (UMD_IPC) applies this knowledge to real-time vehicle power control to achieve improved fuel efficiency. UMD_IPC has been fully implemented in a conventional (nonhybrid) vehicle model in the powertrain systems analysis toolkit (PSAT) environment. Simulations conducted on the standard drive cycles provided by the PSAT show that the performance of the UMD_IPC algorithm is very close to the offline controller that is generated using a dynamic programming optimization approach. Furthermore, UMD_IPC gives improved fuel consumption in a conventional vehicle, alternating neither the vehicle structure nor its components.

However, the probability of an accidental association, or incidence rate, is significant. The present work describes and validates a method for estimating the incidence rate based on a statistical model of the garment manufacturing process. The model was developed primarily for use with the current U.S. Army Combat Uniform (ACU), but can be applied to any camouflage garment. Eight garment manufacturers were studied, and all sources of variation in the manufacturing process were characterized. The marking and spreading procedures were found to be dominant and consistent sources of variation. However, some sources of variation, in particular those because of human operators, were not consistent enough to accurately characterize. Sources of variation that could not be well-characterized were ignored in the statistical model, yielding a worst-case estimate that is an upper-bound to the true incidence rate. The model was evaluated for a variety of cases. Depending on the quality of the surveillance image, the manufacturing parameters, and the local population, incidence rates range from about 3% to negligibly small. The model was validated by returning to one manufacturer, and sampling a large number of completed garments and estimating empirical match probabilities. The empirical probabilities validated the estimates of the worst-case incidence rate and also demonstrated that typical incidence rates are significantly lower.

As part of a larger longitudinal study, each participant completed baseline measures of memory, executive attention, and response inhibition, and baseline and post-deployment self-report measures of PTSD symptom severity. Data were subjected to multiple regression analyses that examined associations between baseline neurocognitive performances and longitudinal PTSD symptom outcome. Results revealed that pre-trauma immediate recall of visual information was associated with post-deployment PTSD symptom severity, even after controlling for pre-deployment PTSD symptom levels, combat intensity, age, gender, and test-retest interval. There was also an interaction between pre-deployment PTSD symptom severity and pre-deployment immediate visual recall and verbal learning, indicating that neurocognitive performances were more strongly (and negatively) associated with residualized post-deployment PTSD symptoms at higher levels of pre-deployment PTSD symptoms. These findings highlight the potential role of pre-trauma neurocognitive functioning in moderating the effects of trauma exposure on PTSD symptoms.

Although the main intent of a RDD is to produce general panic and chaos, other impacts such as health, environmental, property and economical damage may also occur. Although one certain method of reducing health risks from a RDD event is to remove the radioactive contaminants from the environment immediately, rapid cleanup after a RDD event may be impossible in many cases. However, preventing the migration of the radioactive contaminant is crucial. Although it may be necessary to allow the contaminant to remain in place, preventing its migration is still essential. Fixatives can reduce or eliminating migration potential of a contaminant introduced by a RDD. This paper reviews the significance of fixatives in response to a RDD event and some of the products which have been identified for such a purpose. Many of the products are promising for application. However, many reports lack quantitative information to allow for effective comparative evaluation. Further, key parameters, such as shelf life and product toxicity, are not typically evaluated. We recommend that standardized performance parameters be established to allow for better comparative evaluation.

In this paper, a quasi-wavelet method is used to generate a random atmospheric turbulence field based on the von Kármán spectrum, in which atmospheric turbulence is represented by groups of random eddies. An inviscid wake vortex system, out-of-ground effect or in-ground effect, is immersed in the generated turbulence background to study the effects of random turbulence on wake vortices. The simulated wake trajectories are compared with literature data from several current prediction models as well as from field measurement.

Roll-damping computational fluid dynamic predictions were found to be very good across the Mach number range investigated. Magnus moment predictions were very good in the supersonic flight regime but the accuracy varied in the sub- and transonic flight regime. The best Magnus moment prediction in the subsonic flight regime was for the non-boat-tailed projectile that did not exhibit highly nonlinear Magnus moments. A primary contribution of this paper is the demonstration that the pitch-damping moment can be adequately predicted via steady-state methods, rather than resorting to unsteady techniques. The predicted pitch-damping moment compared very well with experimental data for the three projectiles investigated. For one configuration, the pitch-damping moment was predicted by several computational fluid dynamic codes, two different steady-state methods, and a time-accurate planar pitching motion method. All methods compared very well with each other and to the experimental data.

Exposure to soman causes neuropathology as a result of prolonged and recurrent seizures. In the present study, long-term recordings of cortical EEG were used to develop an unbiased means to quantify measures of seizure activity in a large data set while excluding other signal types. Rats were implanted with telemetry transmitters and exposed to soman followed by treatment with therapeutics similar to those administered in the field after nerve agent exposure. EEG, activity and temperature were recorded continuously for a minimum of 2 days pre-exposure and 15 days post-exposure. A set of automatic MATLAB algorithms have been developed to remove artifacts and measure the characteristics of long-term EEG recordings. The algorithms use short-time Fourier transforms to compute the power spectrum of the signal for 2-s intervals. The spectrum is then divided into the delta, theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands. A linear fit to the power spectrum is used to distinguish normal EEG activity from artifacts and high amplitude spike wave activity. Changes in time spent in seizure over a prolonged period are a powerful indicator of the effects of novel therapeutics against seizures. A graphical user interface has been created that simultaneously plots the raw EEG in the time domain, the power spectrum, and the wavelet transform. Motor activity and temperature are associated with EEG changes. The accuracy of this algorithm is also verified against visual inspection of video recordings up to 3 days after exposure.

The necessary elements for picoTesla magnetic-tunnel-junction (MTJ) sensors have been identified by modeling the noise characteristics. The results help identify the experimental challenges involved in the integration of these necessary elements into actual sensors, illustrate the trade-offs faced if there are losses in performance upon integration. Scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA) of the pinned layer provides insights into problems and possible solutions. Issues associated with real-world applications of these sensors to ultra-low field measurements are discussed.

Guinea pigs were challenged with 16.8 μg/kg VX (2LD50). One min after challenge, animals were administered 0.5 mg/kg atropine sulfate (ATR) and 25 mg/kg pyridine-2-aldoxime methochloride (2-PAM). In addition, guinea pigs were given 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 10 mg/kg GAL as a post-exposure treatment immediately prior to ATR and 2-PAM. Animals were either monitored for 24-h survival, scheduled for electroencephalography (EEG) recording, or euthanized 60 min later for measurement of indirectly-elicited muscle tension in the hemidiaphragm. Post-exposure GAL therapy produced a dose-dependent increase in survival from lethal VX challenge. Optimal clinical benefits were observed in the presence of 10 mg/kg GAL, which led to 100% survival of VX-challenged guinea pigs. Based on muscle physiology studies, GAL post-exposure treatment protected the guinea pig diaphragm, the major effector muscle of respiration, from fatigue, tetanic fade, and muscular paralysis. Protection against the paralyzing effects of VX was dose-dependent. In EEG studies, GAL did not alter seizure onset for all doses tested. At the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg), GAL decreased seizure duration when administered as a post-exposure treatment 1 min after VX. GAL also reduced the high correlation associated between seizure activity and lethality after 2LD50 VX challenge. GAL may have additional benefits both centrally and peripherally that are unrelated to its established mechanism as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI).

Of particular interest is the vibration response in parameter regions where the natural frequency loci show veerings. For a representative finite element model, it is shown that the veerings due to crack length variation involve the switching of mode shapes and modal interactions. The nonlinearity caused by the crack closing effect is then introduced, and its effect on the vibration response near the veerings is discussed. The nonlinear forced response analysis is carried out using a hybrid frequency/time domain method, which is based on the method of harmonic balance. The nonlinear vibration response near loci veerings and crossings due to the variation of crack length is investigated in detail. Finally, a novel method for estimating the nonlinear resonant frequency is introduced by generalizing the concept of bilinear frequency approximation, and the method is validated with the results of nonlinear forced response analysis for several veering regions.

The values of the BSSE corrected interaction energy suggested that among the bases guanine forms the most stable complex. The other bases generate complexes of similar stability with the considered SWCNT that are less stable than the guanine-SWCNT dimer.

Intrinsic material rate dependence introduces a third time scale in addition to those introduced by rates of nucleation and growth. Material rate dependence does increase the spall strength of metals, but it is not nearly as important as local inertia in doing so.

Specifically, the approach compares finitely segmented models to the uniformly distributed model in order to determine the appropriate segmentation of the line model for a desired frequency range. The line model performance is characterized through waveform propagation, including attenuation and phase shift. The soft- ware-based modeling tool is validated through hardware tests of different segmentations.

The study used a questionnaire based on the Petty Tyranny in Organizations Scale to explore the scope and nature of destructive leadership as reported by U.S. members of the class of 2008 at a military senior service college. It also explored the relationship between leadership experiences and various measures of satisfaction and inclination to remain in service. The authors observe that despite the central role that the concept of leadership holds in the military, even senior personnel reported experiencing toxic leadership. There was a significant negative relationship between destructive leadership and all measures of satisfaction. Surprisingly, there was not a significant negative impact on inclination to remain in service among this career-oriented and dedicated population.

T1 - ACCUMULATION OF HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRINITRO-1,3,5-TRIAZINE BY THE EARTHWORM EISENIA ANDREI IN A SANDY LOAM SOIL. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 28 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2125 EP - 2133 SN - 07307268 AB - The heterocyclic polynitramine hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a highly energetic compound found as a soil contaminant at some defense installations. Although RDX is not lethal to soil invertebrates at concentrations up to 10,000 mg/kg, it decreases earthworm cocoon formation and juvenile production at environmentally relevant concentrations found at contaminated sites. Very little is known about the uptake of RDX in earthworms and the potential risks for food-chain transfer of RDX in the environment. Toxicokinetic studies were conducted to quantify the bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) using adult earthworms (Eisenia andrei) exposed for up to 14 d to sublethal concentrations of nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX in a Sassafras sandy loam soil. High-performance liquid chromatography of acetonitrile extracts of tissue and soil samples indicated that nonlabeled RDX can be accumulated by the earthworm in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The BAF, expressed as the earthworm tissue to soil concentration ratio, decreased from 6.7 to 0.1 when the nominal soil RDX concentrations were increased from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. Tissue concentrations were comparable in earthworms exposed to nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX. The RDX bioaccumulation also was estimated using the kinetically derived model (BAFK), based on the ratio of the uptake to elimination rate constants. The established BAFK of 3.6 for [14C]RDX uptake was Consistent with the results for nonlabeled RDX. Radioactivity also was present in the tissue residues of [14C]RDX-exposed earthworms following acetonitrile extraction, suggesting the formation of nonextractable [14C]RDX metabolites associated with tissue macromolecules. These findings demonstrated a net accumulation of RDX in the earthworm and the potential for food-chain transfer of RDX to higher-trophic-level receptors.

Hypothesis: There is no significant difference in outcomes after 4-strand hamstring and patellar tendon autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions using similar fixation techniques. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: Between August 2000 and May 2003, 64 Keller Army Hospital patients with complete anterior cruciate ligament tears were randomized to hamstring (n = 32) or patellar tendon (n = 32) autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Operative graft fixation and rehabilitative techniques were the same for both groups. Follow-up assessments included the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score, Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee score, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. Postoperative radiographs were analyzed for tunnel location and orientation. Results: Eleven women and 53 men were randomized. Eighty-three percent of the patients (53 of 64) had follow-up of greater than 2 years, or to the point of graft rupture or removal (average follow-up, 36 months). Four hamstring grafts (12.5%) and three patellar tendon grafts (9.4%) (P = .71) ruptured. One deep infection in a hamstring graft patient necessitated graft removal. Forty-five of the 56 patients with intact grafts had greater than 2-year follow-up. Patients with patellar tendon grafts had greater Tegner activity scores (P = .04). Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores were 88.5 (95% confidence interval: 83.1, 93.8) and 90.1 (95% confidence interval: 85.2, 96.1) for the hamstring and patellar tendon groups, respectively (P = .53). Lysholm scores were 90.3 (95% confidence interval: 84.4, 96.1) and 90.4 (95% confidence interval: 84.5, 96.3) for the hamstring and patellar tendon groups, respectively (P = .97). There were no significant differences in knee laxity, kneeling pain, isokinetic peak torque, International Knee Documentation Committee score, or Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores. Postoperative graft rupture correlated with more horizontal tibial tunnel orientation. Conclusion: Hamstring and patellar tendon autografts provide similar objective, subjective, and functional outcomes when assessed at least 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

THERM tools have been tested with three types of pork sausage but not with other pork products or during sequential temperature abuse periods. We conducted inoculation studies (five strains each of S. aureus and/or Salmonella plus E. coli O157:H7) with simulated cooling of warm sausages, process warming of bratwurst, isothermal temperature abuse of pork frankfurter batter, and two sequential periods of 13, 15.6, or 21.1°C temperature abuse of breakfast sausage, natural (additive-free) chops, and enhanced (phosphate solution-injected) loins. In sequential temperature abuse studies, a temperature abuse period (≤24 h) occurred before and after either refrigeration (5°C for 24 h), or freezing (-20°C for 24 h) and thawing (24 h at 5°C). Pathogen growth predictions from THERM developed using ground pork and sausage were compared with experimental results of 0 to 3.0 log CFU of growth. Across all temperature abuse conditions, qualitative predictions (growth versus no growth) made using the pork tool (n = 133) and the sausage tool (n = 115) were accurate (51 and 50%, respectively), fail-safe (44 and 50%), or fail-dangerous (5 and 0%). Quantitative predictions from the two tools were accurate (29 and 22%, respectively), fail-safe (59 and 73%), or fail-dangerous (12 and 5%). Pathogen growth was greater during the second sequential temperature abuse period but not significantly so (P > 0.05). Both THERM tools provide useful qualitative predictions of pathogen growth in pork products during isolated or sequential temperature abuse events.

Direct imaging was done using a newly developed wet-TEM technique to assess the dispersion state of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in suspension. The effect of dispersing energy (ultrasonication) on viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the laminar convective heat transfer was studied. Results indicate that thermal conductivity and heat transfer enhancement increased until an optimum ultrasonication time was reached, and decreased on further ultrasonication. The suspensions exhibited a shear thinning behavior, which followed the Power Law viscosity model. The maximum enhancements in thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer were found to be 20% and 32%, respectively. The thermal conductivity enhancement increased considerably at temperatures greater than 24°C. The enhancement in convective heat transfer was found to increase with axial distance. A number of mechanisms related to boundary layer thickness, micro-convective effect, particle rearrangement, possible induced convective effects due to temperature and viscosity variations in the radial direction, and the non-Newtonian nature of the samples are discussed.

Bismuth oxide 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, Bi2O2[NC5H3(CO2)2], contains embedded 1-D cationic bismuth oxide chains that propagate along the crystallographic c-axis. The oxygens of the Bi2O2 core are three-coordinate and bond strongly to the Bi atoms. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the material possesses high thermal stability up ca. 400°C before decomposing to phase-pure Bi2O3 at 800°C. The structure, crystallinity, morphology and properties of the material are discussed.

JO - Journal of Engineering Education JF - Journal of Engineering Education Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 98 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 377 EP - 388 SN - 10694730 AB - BACKGROUND Applied ethics plays a critical role in engineering, health, business, and law. Applied ethics is currently a required component of the pre-practice education for these professions, yet the literature suggests that challenges remain in how we define, instruct, and assess professions-based ethics education. PURPOSE Based on the on going debate associated with the instruction and assessment of applied engineering ethics, an exploratory investigation was performed to determine what could be learned by looking across professions. SCOPE/METHOD Ethics, as an educational topic, can be very broad in scope. This study was limited to literature at the intersection of ethics terminology, historical development, instruction, and assessment within engineering, health, business, and law. Many references associated with each profession and the input of profession-specific content experts informed the literature survey. CONCLUSIONS Ethics within the engineering, health, business, and law professions have historically developed in isolation. Even case studies, which the engineering profession seems to have adopted from law, are framed differently within engineering. There are common lines of debate related to instructional methods, curricular methods, and instructor qualifications, but no profession has resolved these debates. A common trend in applied ethics research is a focus on assessment of student learning, rather than evaluation of instructional methods and/or curriculum incorporation methods. Assessment tools have been developed and applied widely for many years in several of the health care sub-disciplines, business and law. An engineering-specific applied-ethics assessment tool has recently been developed, but has yet to see extensive application.

Early endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) effects may delay maturation and have long-term effects on lifetime reproduction, especially in precocial birds that complete sexual differentiation prior to hatch. Semi-altricial and altricial species appear more resilient to EDC effects and show a gradient in sensitivity, especially in the neuroplastic song system. Embryonic steroid exposure occurs via maternally deposited steroids followed by embryo produced hormones; EDCs potentially affect these developing systems. As such, EDCs can impact lifelong fitness by acting on neural systems that regulate reproduction, metabolism, and behavior.

T1 - Influence of exercise mode and osteogenic index on bone biomarker responses during short-term physical training JO - BONE JF - BONE Y1 - 2009/10// VL - 45 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 768 EP - 776 SN - 87563282 AB - Abstract: Prescribing exercise based on intensity, frequency, and duration of loading may maximize osteogenic responses in bone, but a model of the osteogenic potential of exercise has not been established in humans. In rodents, an osteogenic index (OI) has been used to predict the osteogenic potential of exercise. The current study sought to determine whether aerobic, resistance, or combined aerobic and resistance exercise programs conducted over eight weeks and compared to a control group could produce changes in biochemical markers of bone turnover indicative of bone formation. We further sought to determine whether an OI could be calculated for each of these programs that would reflect observed biochemical changes. We collected serum biomarkers [bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), osteocalcin, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), C-terminal telopeptide fragment of type I collagen (CTx), deoxypyridinoline (DPD), 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), and parathyroid hormone (PTH)] in 56 women (20.3±1.8 years) before, during and after eight weeks of training. We also measured bone mineral density (BMD) at regional areas of interest using DXA and pQCT. Biomarkers of bone formation (BAP and osteocalcin) increased in the Resistance and Combined groups (p <0.05), while biomarkers of bone resorption (TRAP and DPD) decreased and increased, respectively, after training (p <0.05) in all groups. Small changes in volumetric and areal BMD (p <0.05) were observed in the distal tibia in the Aerobic and Combined groups, respectively. Mean weekly OIs were 16.0±1.9, 20.6±2.2, and 36.9±5.2 for the Resistance, Aerobic, and Combined groups, respectively. The calculated osteogenic potential of our programs did not correlate with the observed changes in biomarkers of bone turnover. The results of the present study demonstrate that participation in an eight week physical training program that incorporates a resistance component by previously inactive young women results in alterations in biomarkers of bone remodeling indicative of increased formation without substantial alterations in markers of resorption.

Solvent-free random copolymers were synthesized using one monomer with poly(ethylene glycol) sidechains that promote lithium ion conduction and one crosslinking monomer that promotes high modulus. Sixty unique systems of monomer pairs were developed in this manner. The properties of the resulting copolymers were influenced by the monomer ratio and chemistry. The copolymers consistently exhibited improved electrochemical–mechanical multifunctionality with respect to the analogous homopolymers. The most promising systems included highly conductive components paired with highly structural components, suggesting that improved multifunctionality may be achieved through interpenetrating multicomponent systems in which each component demonstrates high efficiency in a single property. Electrochemical, mechanical, and viscoelastic properties are discussed with respect to composition and the glass transition temperature. Modeling of conductivity and modulus was employed to enable prediction of copolymer properties based on the ratio and properties of the constituents.

The purpose of the study was to determine if two nonlinear analysis methods can address the fundamental issue of utilizing kinematic data to track oxygen consumption from a prolonged walking trial: we evaluated the effectiveness of dynamical systems and fractal analysis in this study. Further, we selected, oxygen consumption as a measure to represent the underlying physiological measure of fatigue. Three male US Army Soldier volunteers (means: 23.3yr; 1.80m; 77.3kg) walked for 120min at 1.34m/s with a 40-kg load on a level treadmill. Gait kinematic data and oxygen consumption (VO2) data were collected over the 120-min period. For the fractal analysis, utilizing stride interval data, we calculated fractal dimension. For the dynamical systems analysis, kinematic angle time series were used to estimate phase space warping based features at uniform time intervals: smooth orthogonal decomposition (SOD) was used to extract slowly time-varying trends from these features. Estimated fractal dimensions showed no apparent trend or correlation with independently measured VO2. While inter-individual difference did exist in the VO2 data, dominant SOD time trends tracked and correlated with the VO2 for all volunteers. Thus, dynamical systems analysis using gait kinematics may be suitable to develop a model to predict physiologic fatigue based on biomechanical work.

Extrusion screw speeds were varied from 30 to 130rpm in order to produce samples with varying layer thicknesses. The multilayer film structure was scaled up from the laboratory scale to the pilot-level scale based on oxygen transmission data obtained from the laboratory-scale process parameters. Laboratory-scale film results indicated that the film which demonstrated an optimal oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 0.3cm3/(m2 day) at 60%RH and water vapor transmission rate (WvTR) of 1.4g/(m2 day) at 90%RH had a structure that contained a core barrier film layer of nanocomposite MXD6 that makes up roughly 34% of the total film thickness, with the remainder of the film material consisting of maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin tie layers and LDPE skin layers. The OTR of the films changed as the relative humidity of the test environment was varied from 0 to 90%. However, for the pilot-scale trial it was necessary to reduce the target thickness of the core nylon barrier layer to 22% due to layer-to-layer melt flow instabilities that occurred during processing. The barrier properties of the multi-layer co-extruded films were highly dependant on overall film thickness. The highest performing oxygen barrier pilot-scale film had an OTR of 0.3cm3/(m2 day) (60%RH) and a WvTR of 2.4g/(m2 day) (90%RH) with a core nylon layer of 1.5mil and a total thickness of 7.7mil. Correlation of the layer thicknesses to the barrier and mechanical properties of the pilot-scale multilayer films indicated that an increased nanocomposite core layer thickness improved the oxygen barrier performance and decreased film elongation while improving the tear resistance of the films.

The system exhibits rich phase behavior such as microphase separations in the copolymer-rich region and macrophase separations in the homopolymer-rich region. We use Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Dynamic mean-field Density Functional Theory (DDFT) to predict the phase behavior along a temperature–homopolymer volume fraction isopleth for an A/B/AB mesoscale system that mimics a real system of low molecular weight poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) and poly(ethyl ethylene) (PEE) homopolymers, and a nearly symmetric PDMS–PEE diblock copolymer. The mesoscale polymer parameters are derived using a top-down coarse-graining approach that utilizes order–disorder and critical temperatures. Boundaries between disordered, lamellar and two-phase regions of the phase diagram are determined by visual inspection of configurational snapshots in combination with the abrupt changes that are exhibited by the diblock-copolymer orientational order parameter and bead order parameter when the phase boundaries are crossed. Phase diagrams predicted by DPD and DDFT agree reasonably well with the experimental phase diagram of the PDMS/PEE/PDMS–PEE system except for a narrow channel of bicontinuous microemulsion that is not predicted by either the DPD or the DDFT models. We discuss possible refinements of the models to capture this bicontinuous phase.

JO - International Journal of Remote Sensing JF - International Journal of Remote Sensing Y1 - 2009/09/10/ VL - 30 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 4457 EP - 4477 SN - 01431161 AB - This study investigates applications and efficiencies of remotely sensed data and the sensitivity of grid spacing for the sampling and mapping of a ground and vegetation cover factor in a monitoring system of soil erosion dynamics by cokriging with Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery based on regionalized variable theory. The results show that using image data can greatly reduce the number of ground sample plots and sampling cost required for collection of data. Under the same precision requirement, the efficiency gain is significant as the ratio of ground to image data used varies from 1: 1 to 1: 16. Moreover, we proposed and discussed several modifications to the cokriging procedure with image data for sampling and mapping. First, directly using neighbouring pixels for image data in sampling design and mapping is more efficient at increasing the accuracy of maps than using sampled pixels. Although information among neighbouring pixels might be considered redundant, spatial cross-correlation of spectral variables with the cover factor can provide the basis for an increase in accuracy. Secondly, this procedure can be applied to investigate the appropriate spatial resolution of imagery, which, for sampling and mapping the cover factor, should be 90 m × 90 m - nearly consistent with the line transect size of 100 m used for the ground field survey. In addition, we recommend using the average of cokriging variance to determine the global grid spacing of samples, instead of the maximum cokriging variance.

However, the long-term effects of such regimens on mood and cognitive performance are not known. We assessed the effects of low glycemic load (LG) and high glycemic load (HG) energy-restricted diets on mood and cognitive performance during 6 months of a randomized controlled trial when all food was provided. Subjects were 42 healthy overweight adults (age 35±5 years; BMI 27.8±1.6 kg/m2) with a mean weight loss of 8.7±5.0% that did not differ significantly by diet randomization. Mood was assessed by using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Cognitive performance was assessed by using computerized tests of simple reaction time, vigilance, learning, short-term memory and attention, and language-based logical reasoning. Worsening mood outcome over time was observed in the HG diet group compared to the LG for the depression subscale of POMS (p =0.009 after including hunger as a covariate). There was no significant change over time in any cognitive performance values. These findings suggest a negative effect of an HG weight loss diet on sub-clinical depression but, in contrast to a previous suggestion, provide no support for differential effects of LG versus HD diets on cognitive performance.

Due to the eradication of smallpox, the evaluation of the efficacy of new-generation smallpox vaccines depends on relevant well-developed animal studies for vaccine licensure. In this study, we tested the efficacy of IMVAMUNE® [modified vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN®)] for protecting rabbits against aerosolized RPXV. Rabbits were vaccinated with either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), Dryvax®, a single low dose of IMVAMUNE®, a single high dose of IMVAMUNE®, or twice with a high dose of IMVAMUNE®. Aerosol challenge with a lethal dose of RPXV was performed 4 weeks after the last vaccination. All PBS control animals succumbed to the disease or were euthanized because of the disease within 7 days postexposure. The rabbits vaccinated with Dryvax®, a low dose of IMVAMUNE®, or a single high dose of IMVAMUNE® showed minimal to moderate clinical signs of the disease, but all survived the challenge. The only clinical sign displayed by rabbits that had been vaccinated twice with a high dose of IMVAMUNE® was mild transient anorexia in just two out of eight rabbits. This study shows that IMVAMUNE® can be a very effective vaccine against aerosolized RPXV.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 28 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1930 EP - 1938 SN - 07307268 AB - Knowledge gaps in nanomaterial fate and toxicity currently limit the ability of risk assessments to characterize the environmental implications of nanomaterials. This problem is further complicated by the lack of standardized characterization and preparation methodologies for researchers to gain the needed information to assist risk assessors. In the present study, data were generated to determine if multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) fate and toxicity are altered by engineered surface modifications or by different dispersal methods. While dissolved organic matter was a good dispersing agent of MWNTs in water, the humic acid fraction was a more effective dispersant than the fulvic acid fraction. When stabilized in organic matter, the functional group attached to the MWNT controlled its toxicity. Underivatized MWNTs induced relatively moderate toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia after 96 h (25 ± 19% survival at 26 mg/L), while hydrophilic groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl) reduced this toxicity (93 ± 12% survival at 48 mg/L). However, other functional groups (alkyl, amine) increased toxicity (0 ± 0% survival at <15 mg/L). In dispersal method studies, sonication of MWNTs increased fragmentation relative to magnetic stirring. The sonication treatment of MWNTs also slightly reduced the mortality of C. dubia in the water column but increased toxicity in the sediment to Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca. Findings in the present study indicate that nanotubes engineered for specific applications need to be managed independently and that laboratory methods to disperse and test nanotubes in bioassays need to be standardized to obtain repeatable results for comparison of materials.

The explosion of violence around 1940-41, the years when Romania joined the Axis and entered the Second World War cannot be understood without taking into account the historical, political, social, and cultural factors that created the radical atmosphere of xenophobia, mass psychosis, and mobilization against Others. Rumors emerge as the most powerful psychological means of spreading the official master narrative of 'domestic Jewish treason'. Reinterpretation of various cultural symbols also played an important role in excluding the Jewish Other from the national community.

JO - Robotica JF - Robotica Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 27 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 739 EP - 747 SN - 02635747 AB - The robotic motion planning criteria has evolved from kinematics to dynamics in recent years. Many research achievements have been made in dynamic motion planning, but the externally applied loads are usually limited to the gravity force. Due to the increasing demand for generic tasks, the motion should be generated for various functions such as pulling, pushing, twisting, and bending. In this paper, a comprehensive form of equations of motion, which includes the general external loads applied at any point of branched tree structures, is implemented. An optimization-based algorithm is then developed to generate load-effective motions of redundant tree-structured systems for generic tasks. A highly articulated dual-arm human model is used to generate different effective motions to sustain different external load magnitudes. The results also provide a new scientific insight of human motion.

Merry Pawlowski, Vara Neverow and Julia Briggs are the first to bring Virginia Woolf's work into electronic form with an electronic edition of "Three Guineas" and an electronic edition of the section "Time Passes" from "To the Lighthouse." In 1992 there was a temporary suspension of copyright on Woolf's work which enabled electronic editions to be created which were based from the first British editions and presented in a modernist method.

In this work, we optimize the detector structure and produce a number of large format focal plane arrays (FPAs). Specifically, we adopt one-corrugation-per-pixel geometry to increase the active detector volume and incorporate a composite cover layer to preserve the large sidewall reflectivity, which results in a large detector quantum efficiency. We also optimize the detector material structure such as the final state energy, the doping density, and the number of quantum well periods to improve the FPA operation under the existing readout electronics. As a result, high FPA sensitivity has been achieved, and their characteristics are in agreement with the detector model. Based on this model, we perform a systematic analysis on the FPA performance with a wide range of detector and system parameters. We find that C-QWIP FPAs are capable of high-speed imaging especially for those with longer cutoff wavelengths.

Microscopic analysis of the damaged specimens revealed that the current 3D weaving scheme creates inherently two weak planes which act as potential sites for delamination in the above experiments. It is concluded that while the z-yarns may be effective in limiting the delamination damage at low loads and at low rates of impact, at high loads and high loading rates delamination continues to be the dominant failure mode in 3D woven composites. It is shown that dynamic indentation can be used to capture the progression of damage during impact of 3D woven composites.

It is therefore useful to construct computational models that can accurately predict the evolution of damage during actual impact/dynamic events in order to develop design tools for assessing performance characteristics. This paper presents a computational model for predicting the evolution of cracking in structures subjected to dynamic loading. Fracture is modeled via a nonlinear viscoelastic cohesive zone model. Two example problems are shown: one for model validation through comparison with a one-dimensional analytical solution for dynamic viscoelastic debonding, and the other demonstrates the applicability of the approach to model dynamic fracture propagation in the double cantilever beam test with a viscoelastic cohesive zone.

Further improvement of the performance of these materials requires fine-tuning of the nanostructure which, in turn, necessitates a clear fundamental understanding of the deformation and failure mechanisms under conditions of dynamic loading. While the molecular dynamics simulation technique is an excellent tool for investigation of the mechanisms of plastic deformation and failure of the particle reinforced metal–matrix nanocomposites at the atomic scale, the predictive power of the technique relies on an accurate description of the interatomic interactions. This paper provides a brief review of a recently developed class of interatomic potentials capable of the computationally efficient description of multi-component systems composed of metals, Si, Ge, and C. The potentials are based on reformulation of the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potential for metals and two empirical potentials commonly used for covalently bonded materials, Stillinger–Weber (SW) and Tersoff, in a compatible functional form. The description of the angular dependence of interatomic interactions in the covalent materials is incorporated into the framework of the EAM potential and, therefore, the new class of potentials is dubbed Angular-dependent EAM (A-EAM) potentials. The A-EAM potentials retain all the properties of the pure components as predicted by the original SW, Tersoff, and EAM potentials, thus eliminating the need for extensive testing and limiting the scope of the potential parameterization to only the cross-interaction between the components. The performance of the A-EAM potentials is illustrated for the Au–Si system, with good agreement with experimental data obtained for the enthalpy of mixing in the Au–Si liquid alloy and the Au–Si phase diagram. The A-EAM potentials are suitable for large-scale atomistic simulations of metal–Si/Ge/C/SiC systems, such as the ones required for investigation of the dynamic response of nanocomposite materials to a ballistic/blast impact.

Mechanisms for seizure production, seen in past animal studies, have not been described. Increased calcium levels contribute to excitotoxicity, so in this study neuroblastoma cells are loaded with calcium-indicating dye before application of 1.5 mM to 7.5 mM RDX, with fluorescence recorded for 30 cycles of 11 seconds each. The lowest concentration of RDX increases calcium fluorescence significantly above baseline for cycles 2 to 8; millimolar concentrations increase calcium fluorescence significantly above baseline for cycles 2 to 30. Increases in calcium, like those of 200 nM carbachol, are prevented with 10 mM of calcium chelator ethylene glycol-bis(b-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N tetra-acetic acid (EGTA, tetrasodium salt). Calcium channel blocker verapamil (20 mM), Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (5 mM), and general membrane stabilizer lidocaine (10 mM) partially attenuate carbachol- and RDX-induced increases in calcium, suggesting that RDX transiently increases intracellular calcium by multiple mechanisms.

JO - Castanea JF - Castanea Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 74 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 271 EP - 285 SN - 00087475 AB - Cane (Arundinaria spp.) was one of the most important plant resources for Native Americans living in the southeastern United States prior to Euro-American settlement. The use of cane permeated virtually every aspect of tribal life. Cane was used to make houses and village structures, military and hunting weapons, fishing gear, furniture and domestic implements, personal adornments, baskets, musical instruments, and watercraft. Medicines were prepared from cane, and parts of the plant furnished food and fuel. Canebrakes provided agricultural land, livestock forage, and habitat for wild game. Although large numbers of canes were harvested each year, there is no historic evidence that Native Americans actively managed canebrakes for the production of culms. The cultural importance of cane to Native Americans declined dramatically following Euro-American settlement of the southeast because: 1) trade goods were deemed superior and replaced articles made from cane in local economies; 2) the rapid" disappearance of canebrakes deprived Native Americans of raw material and forced them to seek alternatives; and, 3) many of southeastern tribes were eventually relocated to regions peripheral to or outside of the geographic range of cane.

B2C represents a Type III information systems (IS) innovation that integrates IS with core business technologies. Extant studies on Type III innovations have examined organizational and institutional factors, solely or collectively, in explaining adoption, but not how their effects change under shifting environments over time. We develop an integrated model comprising organizational factors (i.e., espoused values and resources) and institutional factors (i.e., normative and mimetic pressures), as well as the moderating influence of shifting environments (i.e., early period and late period demarcated by changes in the environment). Using a piecewise event-history model specification, we examine the adoption of B2C innovations by 93 organizations over time. Our results show that both organizational and institutional factors influence B2C adoption; however, their effects varied with the environmental shifts. Specifically, senior IS executives influenced adoption in the early period whereas bandwagon mimetic pressures and business norms influenced adoption in the late period. The findings of our research demonstrate the importance of explicitly modeling environmental shifts in theorizing organizational adoption of innovations.Journal of Information Technology (2009) 24, 219–230. doi:10.1057/jit.2008.22; published online 2 December 2008 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Information Technology (Palgrave Macmillan) is the property of Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

This structure facilitated the coordination of faculty from seven academic departments on campus. Each scenario had students from different majors build mathematical models, gather information from their respective disciplines, and develop a final presentation that included a committee consensus on how to approach the problem in a practical way. As a result, students learned how mathematics plays a role in other disciplines and how insight from different points of view affects the approach taken to a complex problem.

We report on the effects of nanoparticle size on sintering temperature and time, with results showing that surface energy has a slight effect on both results. The effect of surface energy on combustion temperature is limited to nanoparticles of less than 10 nm in diameter. An analysis of the various alloys formed during sintering gives insight into the reaction process. The formation of Al-rich compounds is observed initially with a final equilibration and rapid formation of the eutectic alloy immediately preceded by melting of the Ni nanoparticle. We have observed that nanoparticle size and surface energy are both important factors in determining the adiabatic reaction temperature for this material system at nanoparticle sizes of less than 10 nm in diameter.

Significant cutaneous HD injuries can take several months to heal, necessitate lengthy hospitalizations, and result in long-term complications. There are currently no standardized or optimized methods of casualty management. New strategies are needed to provide for optimal and rapid wound healing. Objective: The primary aim of this research was to develop improved clinical strategies (treatment guidelines) for optimal treatment of superficial dermal (second degree) cutaneous HD injuries, with the goal of returning damaged skin to optimal appearance and normal function in the shortest period of time. Methods: Superficial dermal HD injuries were created on the ventral abdominal surface of weanling pigs. At 48h post-exposure, lesions were laser debrided and a treatment adjunct applied. Cultured epithelial allografts and 11 commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products were examined for their efficacy in improving wound healing of these injuries. Clinical evaluations and a variety of non-invasive bioengineering methods were used at 7 and 14 days post-surgery to follow the progress of wound healing and evaluate various cosmetic and functional properties of the wounds. Measurements included reflectance colorimetry to measure erythema; evaporimetry to examine transepidermal water loss as a method of evaluating barrier function; torsional ballistometry to evaluate the mechanical properties of skin firmness and elasticity; and two-dimensional high frequency ultrasonography (HFU) to monitor skin thickness (e.g., edema, scar tissue). Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed 14 days following surgery to examine structural integrity and quality of healing. Logical Decisions® for Windows was used to rank the 12 treatment adjuncts that were studied. Results: The most efficacious treatment adjuncts included (1) Vacuum Assisted Closure™, V.A.C.®, involving application of topical negative pressure, (2) Amino-Plex® Spray (biO2 Cosmeceuticals International, Inc., Beverly Hills, CA), a nutritive cosmeceutical product that is designed to increase oxygen in cells, stimulate ATP synthesis, improve glucose transportation, stimulate collagen formation, and promote angiogenesis, and (3) ReCell® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (Clinical Cell Culture Americas LLC, Coral Springs, Florida), an innovative medical device that was developed to allow rapid harvesting of autologous cells from a thin split-thickness biopsy followed by spray application of a population of skin cells onto wounds within 30min of collecting the biopsy, without the need of culturing the keratinocytes in a clinical laboratory. Conclusions: Complete re-epithelialization of debrided HD injuries in 7 days is possible. In general, shallow laser debridement through the basement membrane zone (100μm) appears to provide better results than deeper debridement (400μm) with respect to early re-epithelialization, cosmetic appearance, functional restoration, and structural integrity. Of the 12 treatment adjuncts examined, the most promising included Vacuum Assisted Closure™, Amino-Plex® Spray, and ReCell® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device.

T1 - Evaluation of protease inhibitors and an antioxidant for treatment of sulfur mustard-induced toxic lung injury JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 263 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 46 SN - 0300483X AB - Abstract: Sulfur mustard (SM)-induced lung injury has been associated with protease activation, oxidative injury and inflammatory response culminating in tissue necrosis. The protease inhibitors aprotinin and ilomastat and the antioxidant trolox were evaluated for efficacy in ameliorating SM-induced lung injury. Anesthetized spontaneously breathing rats (N =6–8/group) were intratracheally intubated and exposed to 1.4mg/kg SM (0.35mg SM in 0.1ml of ethanol) or ethanol alone by vapor inhalation for 50min. At 1min before the exposure rats were treated with one of the following: intravenous aprotinin, 4.4mg/kg; intraperitoneal (ip) ilomastat, 25mg/kg; or ip trolox, 500μg/kg. Aprotinin-treated animals received supplemental 2.2mg/kg doses at 1min and 6h post-exposure (PE). A whole body plethysmograph system was used to monitor pulmonary function (PF) parameters for 1h before exposure (baseline), and from 5–6 and 23–24h post-exposure. SM inhalation caused significant increases in several PF parameters, including tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow, peak expiratory flow, end expiratory pause and enhanced pause. Consistent with the reported development of SM-induced pathology, these changes were minimal at the 5–6-h time and significant at the 23–24-h timepoint. At the later time it is known from previous work that airways are becoming obstructed with loose cellular debris, damaged cells and exudate, which contributed to the changes in PF parameters. Treatment with aprotinin or ilomastat eliminated these PF changes, yielding results comparable with controls for each of these parameters. Lung lavage fluid analysis showed that SM caused a significant increase in total protein (TP) and in the cytokines IL-1α and IL-13. Aprotinin treatment prevented the increases in TP and IL-1α production, ilomastat prevented the increased production of IL-13, and trolox treatment did not significantly prevent the SM-related increases in TP, IL-1α or IL-13. Histopathologic examination of lung tissue 24h post-exposure showed minimal alveolar effects caused by SM, while damage to bronchiolar regions was much more severe due to the highly reactive nature of SM. While aprotinin and ilomastat both alleviated the PF perturbations, surprisingly only aprotinin reduced the observed pathology, both grossly and histologically. These early results indicate that treatment with aprotinin and to a lesser extent ilomastat reduces some of the direct inflammatory response and damage associated with SM-induced lung injury.

The body uses the sulfur transferase enzyme rhodanese to detoxify cyanide via conversion of cyanide to thiocyanate. This paper explores the potential energy surfaces for the conversion of cyanide anion and hydrogen cyanide to thiocyanate anion and thiocyanic acid, respectively. The potential energy surface for the conversion of cyanide anion to thiocyanate shows that the formation of thiocyanate (SCN) is vastly preferred to formation of its isomer SNC. However, the potential energy surface for the conversion of hydrogen cyanide to thiocyanic acid reveals that the formation of HSCN and HNCS would be relatively equal. The failure for analytical methods to detect HNCS is rationalized by the observation that deprotonation of either HNCS or HSCN leads to the same thiocyanate anion.

The structure, microstructure, surface morphology, and composition of the films were assessed by glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). The dielectric phase shift measurements were carried out using coplanar waveguide (CPW) test circuits over a frequency range of 2-18 GHz. Our results indicate that BST processed at 950°C achieved large relative phase shift response with low attenuation of the microwave signal.

Conventional or rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was used to compare the morphologies. The morphology depended on the substrate, adhesion layer, and annealing conditions, with large hillocks formed for electrodes incorporating Ti on Si. Electrode stacks utilizing TiOx adhesion layers resulted in residual stresses that were ∼50% less than those with Ti. Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited onto several electrodes to investigate the integrity of the electrode/film heterostructures.

Variables included metal, pretreatment, primer, and topcoat. EIS results were shown to be strongly dependent upon the time-of-residence in the electrochemical cell prior to commencement of testing, and to the choice of electrolyte used in the cell. Good correlations between EIS and corrosion testing were seen for topcoat effects, but not for pretreatment effects. EIS results appear to relate mostly to barrier properties rather than electrochemical properties of coatings. It is suggested that the variation seen in EIS solution resistance values (R s) can be utilized to quantify total system error. Total error was estimated by three techniques: total R s variation, panel replicate variation, and EIS reading replication. The three approaches yielded similar results: total error for equivalent circuit components expressed in log10 form was on the order of 50%, expressed as percent standard deviation.

JO - General & Comparative Endocrinology JF - General & Comparative Endocrinology Y1 - 2009/09// VL - 163 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 104 EP - 108 SN - 00166480 AB - Abstract: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) from a variety of sources occur widely in the environment, but relationships between exposure to EDCs and long term effects on bird populations can be difficult to prove. Embryonic exposure to EDCs may be particularly detrimental, with potential long-term effects on reproduction and ultimately individual fitness. Because many EDCs may have subtle sublethal effects, it is necessary to establish sensitive end points as biomarkers of EDC exposure in birds. Because the effects of EDCs may be both short- and long-term, it is important to determine if embryonic exposure impacts sexual differentiation and development of the reproductive axis in hatchlings and if there are effects on reproductive function in adults. Our studies have focused on the effects of estrogen- and androgen-active EDCs on the hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone–I (GnRH-I) system in an avian model of precocial species, the Japanese quail. Estrogen- or androgen-active EDCs were administered between 0 and embryonic day 4, and hypothalamic GnRH-I was measured in hatchlings and adults. Treatment with vinclozolin and PCB126 depressed the concentration of embryonic GnRH-I peptide while methoxyclor had an inconsistent stimulatory effect. Treatment with atrazine or trenbolone had no significant effects on hypothalamic GnRH-I in adults. Overall these observations support the view that the developing avian GnRH-I neural system may be vulnerable to EDCs with potential to alter lifelong reproductive function.

While this analysis suggests that certain types of terrorists can be deterred from certain types of attacks, it is less optimistic about the use of nuclear weapons in a terrorist deterrent strategy. A broad approach to deterrence may be effective against certain types of terrorist groups and attacks, making it crucially important to disaggregate the terrorist threat when setting policy. The article goes on to address two types of terrorist groups with a “global reach” that pose a serious threat to the United States: non-state actors driven by doctrines permitting catastrophic attacks and state-sponsored groups capable of carrying out catastrophic attacks. The analysis reveals a number of previously unappreciated tradeoffs and paradoxes associated with the deterrence of terrorists.

In this study we investigated the efficacy of glucocorticoid therapy in preventing SEB-induced lethal shock initiated through the respiratory route in mice. Dexamethasone, a potent anti-inflammatory steroid, administrated intranasally on the first day, followed by intraperitoneal doses on the subsequent 4days, was effective in attenuating SEB-induced hypothermia, and reduction in systemic and pulmonary proinflammatory mediator release. This optimal dosing and schedule of glucocorticoid treatment mitigated lung inflammation and resulted in 100% survival in this intranasal mouse model of SEB-mediated shock.

An upgradient cathode and downgradient anode, spaced 35 cm apart, were used to create alkaline reducing conditions followed by oxic, acidic conditions to degrade RDX by combination of alkaline hydrolysis and direct electrolysis. A preliminary experiment (25 mg/L RDX influent) with seepage velocity of 30.5 cm/day and current density of 9.9 A/m² was used to determine the treatment feasibility and the aqueous products of RDX decomposition. Three additional column experiments (0.5 mg/L RDX influent) under the same conditions as the preliminary column were used to observe the treatment process repeatability and the alkaline treatment zone development. The results demonstrated approximately 95% decomposition of ROX in the column with an applied current density of 9.9 A/m². Aqueous end-products formate, nitrite, and nitrate were detected in the effluent Approximately 75% of the RDX was destroyed near the cathode, presumably by electrolysis, with 23% decomposed downstream of the cathode by alkaline hydrolysis. The preliminary column pseudo first order alkaline hydrolysis rate coefficient of 10.7 × 10-3 min-1 wax used to estimate a treatment zone length less than 100 cm for RDX treatment below the EPA drinking water lifetime health advisory of 0.002 mg/L.

The enzyme belongs to a serine hydrolase superfamily of enzymes, which react with organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents. OPs ultimately exert their toxicity by inhibiting human acetycholinesterase at nerve synapses, but may additionally have detrimental effects through inhibition of other serine hydrolases. We have solved the crystal structures of gVIIA-PLA2 following inhibition with the OPs diisopropylfluorophosphate, sarin, soman and tabun. The sarin and soman complexes displayed a racemic mix of P R and P S stereoisomers at the P-chiral center. The tabun complex displayed only the P R stereoisomer in the crystal. In all cases, the crystal structures contained intact OP adducts that had not aged. Aging refers to a secondary process OP complexes can go through, which dealkylates the nerve agent adduct and results in a form that is highly resistant to either spontaneous or oxime-mediated reactivation. Non-aged OP complexes of the enzyme were corroborated by trypsin digest and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry of OP-enzyme complexes. The lack of stereoselectivity of sarin reaction was confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using a chiral column to separate and quantitate the unbound stereoisomers of sarin following incubation with enzyme. The structural details and characterization of nascent reactivity of several toxic nerve agents is discussed with a long-term goal of developing gVIIA-PLA2 as a catalytic bioscavenger of OP nerve agents.

The odds of having a VEE antibody non-response among those initially receiving EEE and WEE vaccines, adjusted for gender, were significant (odds ratio [OR]=2.20; 95% CI=1.2–4.1 [p =0.0145]) as were the odds of non-response among females adjusted for group (OR=1.81; 95% CI=1.2–2.7 [p =0.0037]).

Furthermore, changing snow and ice conditions can drastically change the tire/surface interaction. In this study the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory’s (CRREL’s) Instrumented Vehicle (CIV) was used in a unique configuration to measure tire lateral force versus slip-angle data on ice and snow at various temperatures, moisture contents, depths, and densities. The vehicle is instrumented to record longitudinal, lateral, and vertical force at the tire contact patch of each wheel as well as vehicle speed, tire speed, and front tire slip angle. The tests were conducted at the Keweenaw Research Center (KRC) in northern Michigan in February 2005 and March 2006. Tests were conducted on ice, packed snow from 0.50 to 0.58g/cc, remixed snow depths of 2.5–20.3cm at 0.43 to 0.48g/cc and freshly fallen snow with depths of 0.5–17cm at 0.07 to 0.23g/cc. Surface air temperatures during testing ranged from −14 to 1.6°C. The data collected show that peak lateral force and the shape of the lateral force versus slip-angle curve are related to snow properties and depths.

The controller is a desktop model of the robotic arm with the same degrees of freedom whose joints are equipped with sensors. Manipulating the controller by hand causes the robotic arm to mimic the movement in master–slave fashion. This is accomplished simply and at low-cost by taking advantage of widely available hobby radio control components. The system uses the trainer (“Buddy Box”) function available on common radio control transmitters as a simple interface between microcontroller and transmitter. The microcontroller produces a time-division multiplexed signal comprising three channels in proportional pulse modulated (PPM) format. The arm design could be used for various light-duty applications and this paper describes a version fitted with a video camera. The arm prototype is designed for an under-vehicle inspection robot. In this application, the video camera mounted on the robotic arm allows inspection of difficult-to-view locations under vehicles. The master–slave operator interface provides an easy-to-learn method for robotic arm manipulation.

We demonstrate several advances in the integration of nanoporous energetic silicon, including monolithic integration of a hotwire initiator on nanoporous energetic silicon, with 2.8-V ignition. We also demonstrate lithographically patterned arrays of energetic devices that are independently addressable through integrated initiators with no sympathetic ignition. Monolithic integration of the energetic material with a surface micromachined microelectromechanical systems sensor is also shown. The performance and failure mechanisms of the hotwire initiator are examined, and preliminary measurements of the thrust and propagation velocity are reported.

The blast noise usually includes large explosive energy with nonlinearity in the near field and exhibits a very low-frequency spectrum. In this study, the linearity approximation for the noise is taken because the nonlinearity of the wave reaching the scatterer is not serious for many proved guns and the low-frequency characteristic is concentrated. The structures are designed based on the surface impedance design approach proposed in our previous work and arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) geometries within a truncated ground are now assumed. The acoustic characteristic of the structures is evaluated by using a fast numerical solver. The solver employs the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) as an accelerator and can solve very large acoustic wave scattering problems with millions of unknowns on workstations within several days. This tool allows us to truncate the ground as large as needed for accurate modeling. Four structures are mainly considered in the design, namely, concentric trenches, sectorial trapezoidal trenches, interlaced arc trenches and parabolic reflectors. Some of them may have a sloped inner wall or tilted surface as a means of adjustment. Numerical simulations show that the concentric trench design has a very good mitigation behavior for linear and continuous noise sources and the structure is further studied for mitigating real-world gun blast noise.

Biological and mathematical data gaps were identified, and experimental approaches and computational strategies for modeling spore germination were presented and evaluated. As a result of these interactions, future research directions were defined, the outcome of which should result in a robust model to help define the molecular mechanism(s) of spore germination. Mechanistic understanding of germination will be instrumental for developing novel sterilization, treatment, and decontamination strategies to mitigate threats posed by spores.

The chirality parameter is a function of frequency and depth of the slab. The developed technique is based on the use of coupled differential equations for the Green functions associated with electromagnetic propagation through the slab. The technique makes use of the Nth degree interpolation polynomials to approximate the Green functions and the chiral parameter among other functions using Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto collocation points. Numerical results from a laboratory measurement simulation are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique.

The present experiments test three primary assumptions derived from this research. First, horizontal eye movements should facilitate episodic memory for both verbal and non-verbal information. Second, the benefits of horizontal eye movements should only be seen when they immediately precede tasks that demand right and left-hemisphere processing towards successful performance. Third, the benefits of horizontal eye movements should be most pronounced in the strongly right-handed. Two experiments confirmed these hypotheses: horizontal eye movements increased recognition sensitivity and decreased response times during a spatial memory test relative to both vertical eye movements and fixation. These effects were only seen when horizontal eye movements preceded episodic memory retrieval, and not when they preceded encoding (Experiment 1). Further, when eye movements preceded retrieval, they were only beneficial with recognition tests demanding a high degree of right and left-hemisphere activity (Experiment 2). In both experiments the beneficial effects of horizontal eye movements were greatest for strongly right-handed individuals. These results support recent work suggesting increased interhemispheric brain activity induced by bilateral horizontal eye movements, and extend this literature to the encoding and retrieval of landmark shape and location information.

With ceria promotion, conversion of ethanol near 100% and selectivity to hydrogen at 103.6% can be achieved at 600 °C in ATR of ethanol, while with both iron and ceria promotion, selectivity to hydrogen at 118.4% is observed, which are higher (57.17% improvement on hydrogen selectivity) than that of the conventional Ni catalyst. In addition, higher stability is also observed during a 31-h test. The improvements are attributed to the restrained acidity and high dispersion of nickel alumina spinel phase.

The purpose of this work was to characterize serum MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9 concentrations pre- and post-eight weeks of exercise training. We tested the hypothesis that exercise training would influence serum MMP concentrations in response to an acute resistance exercise test (ARET). Participants were randomized into an 8-week training program (5 days per week) that emphasized callisthenic (CT, N = 8) or resistance (RT, N = 8) exercise. Serum MMP concentrations (MMP-1, -2, -3, -9) were assessed in men ( N = 16) in response to an acute bout of high-intensity resistance exercise (six sets of 10-RM squats with 2-min inter-set rest periods) both before and after 8 weeks of training. Training resulted in a temporal shift in the peak MMP-1 concentration from post-ARET to mid-ARET in both groups. Post-training, MMP-9 concentrations were increased immediately after the ARET in the CT group as compared to pre-training ARET concentrations. RT did not alter MMP-3 and -9 concentrations. These data suggest that the mode of exercise training influences the MMP response to an acute bout of exercise, revealing a possible role of MMPs in initiating training-specific adaptations.

Those CT complexes have been used as organic semiconductors in field effect transistors (FETs), charge injection and transport materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. In this paper, a serials of new CT complexes with polymers as donor and TCNQ as acceptor were prepared. The polymers are polycarbazoles with various content of carbazole moiety in the back chain. The X-ray crystal structure of the model compound 4,4′-bis (N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl(CBP)/TCNQ complex showed the formation of 2:1 stack structure (with 1:1 carbazole moiety: TCNQ ratio). The polycarbazole/TCNQ complexes form uniform films by spin-coating. Devices with the structure of ITO/polycarbazole:TCNQ complex/Mg:Ag were fabricated. The current–voltage characteristics showed that the devices exhibit much higher conductivity compared to their analogy ITO/polycarbazole/Mg:Ag structure devices. Devices with different polycarbazole:TCNQ ratios were fabricated and the current–voltage results showed that the conductivity increases as the ratio of polycarbazole:TCNQ increases. The conductivity reaches the maximum at the ratio of 1:1. These polymer complexes can be low-temperature processed on large area flexible substrates and are of potential use for low-cost printed electronics.

The calculations show the planar anti conformation and the syn conformers have extended conjugation. In the anti conformation the EDOT–Py dimer is calculated to have a lower reorganization energy (0.390eV) than either homodimer (0.423eV EDOT; 0.455eV Py) and consequently is expected to have higher charge carrier mobility. The HOMO–LUMO gap of the copolymers is intermediate between the two homopolymers and for regular sequences varies monotonically as a function of the monomer content.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2009/07/15/ VL - 83 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 7296 EP - 7304 SN - 0022538X AB - The filoviruses Marburg virus and Ebola virus cause severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality in humans and nonhuman primates. Among the most promising filovirus vaccines under development is a system based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) that expresses a single filovirus glycoprotein (GP) in place of the VSV glycoprotein (G). Here, we performed a proof-of-concept study in order to determine the potential of having one single-injection vaccine capable of protecting nonhuman primates against Sudan ebolavirus (SEBOV), Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV), Cote d'Ivoire ebolavirus (CIEBOV), and Marburgvirus (MARV). In this study, 11 cynomolgus monkeys were vaccinated with a blended vaccine consisting of equal parts of the vaccine vectors VSVΔG/SEBOVGP, VSVΔG/ZEBOVGP, and VSVΔG/MARVGP. Four weeks later, three of these animals were challenged with MARV, three with CIEBOV, three with ZEBOV, and two with SEBOV. Three control animals were vaccinated with VSV vectors encoding a nonfilovirus GP and challenged with SEBOV, ZEBOV, and MARV, respectively, and five unvaccinated control animals were challenged with CIEBOV. Importantly, none of the macaques vaccinated with the blended vaccine succumbed to a filovirus challenge. As expected, an experimental control animal vaccinated with VSVΔG/ZEBOVGP and challenged with SEBOV succumbed, as did the positive controls challenged with SEBOV, ZEBOV, and MARV, respectively. All five control animals challenged with CIEBOV became severely ill, and three of the animals succumbed on days 12, 12, and 14, respectively. The two animals that survived CIEBOV infection were protected from subsequent challenge with either SEBOV or ZEBOV, suggesting that immunity to CIEBOV may be protective against other species of Ebola virus. In conclusion, we developed an immunization scheme based on a single-injection vaccine that protects nonhuman primates against lethal challenge with representative strains of all human pathogenic filovirus species.

JO - Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science JF - Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 118 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 114 EP - 119 SN - 00736767 AB - Vehicle and troop tracking systems are increasingly being used during military training events to improve the quality of the training by providing detailed information for real-time and post training analysis. The Deployable Force-on-Force Instrumented Range System (DFIRSTTM) is an example of one of these systems currently being used by U.S. Army National Guard units. Information from these vehicle tracking systems can be used to improve Army installation environmental impact assessments and monitoring programs. DFIRST™ vehicle tracking systems were installed on over 80 military vehicles as part of a 12-day live training exercise at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. From the original DFIRST™ dataset one training day was selected for detailed analysis. Vehicle tracking systems monitored vehicle locations while actively participating in a training exercise. Vehicle locations were used to calculate vehicle dynamic properties (velocity and turning radius). Vehicle dynamic and static (weight, type) properties and were used to predict vegetation loss using models previously developed for use at Camp Atterbury. USEPA 1979 AP-42 dust model was used to estimate dust emissions. Average distance traveled per vehicle was 17.2 km/day with an average of 0.2 km/day off-road. The training event resulted in an estimated 2662.8 m2 of vegetation loss and 465.1 kg of PM 2.5 dust generated for the period of analysis. This study demonstrates the use of emerging vehicle tracking systems, fielded to support improved training, can be used to assess environmental impacts associated with training.

The theory is formulated in the context of electrostatics; however, vacancies in the lattice may carry an electric charge, and their concentrations may be large. The material is treated as a continuous body with a continuous distribution of point vacancies, but volumes and charges of individual defects enter the description. The deformation gradient is decomposed multiplicatively into terms accounting for recoverable thermoelasticity and irreversible volume changes associated with vacancies. Thermodynamic arguments lead to constitutive relations among electromechanical quantities framed in the elastically unloaded intermediate configuration, with the Cauchy stress tensor consistently non-symmetric as a result of electrostatic effects. The requirement of non-negative dissipation imposes constraints on vacancy migration. Following postulation of a quadratic form for the free energy potential, a kinetic equation for vacancy flux is derived in the intermediate configuration, with diffusion driven by gradients of vacancy concentration, electrostatic potential, hydrostatic pressure, and crystal structure. Effects of geometric non-linearity (i.e. finite elastic strains and large vacancy concentrations) are found to affect vacancy diffusion in a body subjected to biaxial lattice strain, for example a film device with lattice mismatch at its interfaces.

Polymer nanofabric interleaving increased the laminate thickness and weight by an order of 1%, and its impact on in-plane mechanical properties of the composite laminate would be statistically zero. On the other hand, its influence on interlaminar fracture toughness and resistance, impact damage resistance, and damping is substantial. Results of this study showed that interleaving AS4/3501-6 composite laminate increased the damping by 13%, reduced the impact damage size to one-third, increased fracture toughness and resistance by 1.5 times and one-third, respectively, significantly increased delamination onset life, and increased the fatigue threshold energy release rate by two-thirds. These improvements are comparable to that of the commercial T800H/3900-2 composite but with no thickness increase penalty, loss of in-plane properties, or multiple glass transition temperatures.

The purpose of the study was to characterize stream quality and provide background information for a more comprehensive biological inventory of the training site. Field, laboratory, and analytical methods closely followed those developed for stream assessments by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Data describing physical habitat conditions, water quality parameters, and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages were collected from among 9 sites along Trace Creek. Trace Creek data were compared with similar data from other streams in the Highland Rim Bioregion of the state. These comparisons indicated that Trace Creek contained high quality habitat and an abundance of environmentally "sensitive" benthic macroinvertebrate taxa. Data analyses indicated that Trace Creek would be classified as "non-impaired and fully supporting of designated water usages" according to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation guidelines.

JO - Journal of Orthopaedic Research JF - Journal of Orthopaedic Research Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 27 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 903 EP - 908 SN - 07360266 AB - Despite the continuing advances in treatment of open fractures and musculoskeletal wounds, infection remains a serious complication. Current treatments to prevent infection utilize surgical debridement and irrigation, and high doses of systemic antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this work was to evaluate, in vitro, the potential of a fast-resorbing calcium sulfate pellet loaded with an antibiotic. The pellet could be used as an adjunctive therapy at the time of debridement and irrigation to reduce bacterial wound contamination. Small pellets containing a binder and calcium sulfate were engineered to resorb rapidly (within 24 h) and deliver high local doses of antibiotic (amikacin, gentamicin, or vancomycin) to the wound site while minimizing systemic effects. Results from dissolution, elution, and biological activity tests against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were used to compare the performance of antibiotic-loaded, rapidly resorbing calcium sulfate pellets to antibiotic-loaded crushed conventional calcium sulfate pellets. Antibiotic-loaded rapidly resorbing pellets dissolved in vitro in deionized water in 12-16 h and released therapeutic antibiotic levels in phosphate buffered saline that were above the minimal inhibitory concentration for P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, completely inhibiting the growth of these bacteria for the life of the pellet. Crushed conventional calcium sulfate pellets dissolved over 4-6 days, but the eluates only contained sufficient antibiotic to inhibit growth for the first 4 h. These data indicate that fast-resorbing pellets can release antibiotics rapidly and at therapeutic levels. Adjunctive therapy with fast-acting pellets is promising and warrants further in vivo studies. © 2008 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To optimize the performance of PUUs for various high rate applications, specific features of their mechanical behavior have to be suitably tailored by altering the microstructure. Hence the micromechanisms governing the mechanical behavior must be identified, understood and leveraged. In this study, the effects of varying microstructure on the rate-dependent mechanical behavior were examined for select PUU materials. As expected, increasing the hard segment content increased the stiffness and the flow stress levels. Interestingly, it was observed that promoting phase mixing among the hard and soft segment domains of the PUU material greatly enhanced its rate-dependent stiffening and strain hardening behavior. These insights can help design PUUs for articles that manifest improved protective abilities under impact, while maintaining their flexibility during normal use. The potential applications for such materials are extensive, including face masks and goggles, which require excellent folding/un-folding capabilities, while also providing superior impact resistance.

The treatment was carried out by heating a mixture of CF x and carbon black (CB) just below the decomposition temperature of CF x under nitrogen for 2h. In the treatment, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (Kynar) was used as a fluorinated polymer binder to press the CF x /CB mixture into pellets. It was shown that the content of Kynar significantly affected the discharge performance of the resulting treated-CF x (T-CF x ). This can be attributed to the catalytic effect of HF formed by the pyrolysis of Kynar on the decomposition of CF x and on the reaction of CB with the volatile fluorocarbons formed by the decomposition of CF x . The discharge performance of T-CF x cathode was also affected by the temperature of carbothermal treatment and by the ratio of CF x to CB. In this work the best result was obtained from a treatment conducted at 470°C on a 87CF x /10CB/3Kynar (by weight) mixture. In the discharge condition of C/5 and 20°C, the Li/CF x cell with such-obtained T-CF x cathode showed about 95mV higher voltage than the control cell while retaining nearly the same specific capacity. Impedance analyses indicate that the improved discharge performance is mainly attributed to a reduction in the cell reaction resistance (R cr) that includes an ohmic resistance related to the ionic conductivity of the discharge product shell and a Faradic resistance related to the processes of charge-transfer and Li+ ion diffusion in the CF x reaction zone.

Herein we provide a comprehensive analysis of factors affecting the space use of Desert Tortoises in the west Mojave Desert, including physical, social, and environmental variables. Our objectives were to determine how spatial overlap, as well as multiple parameters of burrow use, influence home range size of this species. Male tortoises were significantly larger than females and exhibited very different patterns of space and burrow use; however, body size did not affect these variables. Male home range (100% MCP) and core area (50% MCP) size averaged 65% and 73% larger than those of females. Burrow use by males and females affected core area size, but not home range area. Females exhibited a strong male bias in overlap of both estimates of space use and burrow sharing, while using a significantly lower number of burrows per year. However, males overlapped and shared burrows with a similar number of tortoises of either sex. In addition, a high degree of home range overlap between individuals suggests a lack of territoriality in this population, although this warrants further analysis. These results suggest that social factors may not be the primary determinants of space use in this Desert Tortoise population.

Deep sinkage, high snow-compaction resistance, traction loss while turning and ingestion of snow into the drive train can cause immobility within a few meters of travel. However, for suitably designed vehicles, deep snow offers a smooth, uniform terrain that can obliterate obstacles. Key requirements for good over-snow mobility are low ground pressure, large clearance relative to vehicle size and a drive system that tolerates moist, compactable snow. A small robot will invariably encounter deep snow relative to its ground clearance and thus must travel over the snow rather than gain support from the underlying surface. This can be accomplished using low-pressure tracks (<1.5kPa). Even still, snow-compaction resistance can exceed 20% of vehicle weight. Also, despite relatively high traction coefficients for low track pressures, differential or skid steering is difficult because the outboard track can easily break traction as the vehicle attempts to turn against the snow. Short track lengths (relative to track separation) or coupled articulated robots offer steering solutions for deep snow. This paper presents guidance to design lightweight robots for good mobility over snow based on tests of two custom-designed over-snow robots, SnoBot and SnoBot-2, and driving experience with two commercially available robots, PackBot and Talon. Moreover, we used the present guidance to design SnoBot-2, and it displays excellent over-snow mobility. Because many other considerations constrain robot designs, this guidance can also help with development of winterization kits to improve the over-snow performance of existing robots.

In this paper, a prototype finite-difference computer model is developed to calculate the microphysical influences on sound speed in forested areas. Several numerical tests are conducted to assess model code capabilities using micrometeorological field data collected in June 2006. For the current analysis, the model domain and total number of grid points are greatly increased from earlier reported versions and the finite-difference numerical schemes for advection are modified to permit different inflow and outflow boundaries. Preliminary results for three cases are encouraging. Micrometeorological profiles and calculated fields of sound speed are presented. Some initial approximations of short-range acoustic transmission loss for the experimental test site are also discussed.

Here, we study the composition and aquatic toxicity of low-purity, as-produced fullerenes (C60) and metallofullerene waste solids, both of which were generated via arc-discharge synthesis. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) were used to characterize the metals composition of the solid test materials and of aqueous leachates prepared by mixing test materials with waters of varying pH, hardness, and salinity. The aquatic toxicity of the leachates was determined using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommended aquatic bioassay protocols with two standard test organisms- Pimephales promelas and Ceriodaphnia dubia. Results indicated that metals associated with the solid test materials became mobilized in ourtest system upon interaction with waters of circumneutral pH and reached concentrations sufficient to induce toxicity in both test species. Acute (48 h) LC50 values for P. promelas and C. dubia exposed to leachates prepared from metallofullerene waste solids were 54 and 5% (as % leachate in diluent), respectively. Toxicity was eliminated after adding the chelator EDTA to the leachates, implicating divalenttransition metals as the toxicity source. Our results demonstrate the aquatic toxicity of metals mobilized from products and byproducts of nanomanufacturing, and they emphasize the need for a global review of nanomanufacturing wastes and low-purity products.

We tested the assumption of a clear relationship between δD values of growing-season-weighted average precipitation (δDp) derived from 2 geographic information system (GIS) models or latitude (LAT) and δD values in bat hair (δDh), and examined intra- and interspecific variation in δDh of 4 bat species in the eastern United States. We analyzed 251 hair samples from 1 long-distance migrant (eastern red bat [Lasiurus borealis]) and 3 regional migrants (Indiana bat [Myotis sodalis], northern long-eared bat [M. septentrionalis], and little brown bat [M. lucifugus]) captured during the reproductive period (pregnancy and lactation) when bats are resident. LAT explained more of the variation in δDh than δDp derived from either of the GIS-based models, although 1 model of δDp performed better for some species. We found significant intraspecific differences in the relationships between δDh and LAT and between δDh and estimates of δDp derived from Bowen et al. (δDpB) for L. borealis, and significant variation in the regression equations of δDh and LAT and δDh and δDp among species for adult females and adult males. Stable hydrogen isotope analysis may be a valuable tool for studying migratory connectivity in bats, but significant intra- and interspecific variation in δDh values suggests that pooling across sex and age categories and use of surrogate species should be avoided.

One reason is these parameters are scattered in the literature with each publication starting and ending at different stages. In many institutions professors do not discuss or even mention these topics, particularly from a second law perspective. When teaching combined cycle cogeneration systems to undergraduates, the professor should introduce pertinent parameters in a systematic fashion and discuss the usefulness and limitations of each parametee Ultimately for a given situation, the student should be able to determine which parameters form the most appropriate basis for comparison when considering alternative designs. This paper provides two approaches, one based on energy (the first law of thermodynamics) and the other based on exergy (the second law of thermodynamics). These approaches are discussed with emphasis on the precise" teaching of the subject matter to undergraduates. The intent is to make coverage of the combined cycle cogeneration systems manageable so that professors can appropriately incorporate the topic into the curricula with relative ease.

To compare the incidence of influenza-like illness following immunization of adults with LAIV vs. TIV, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of active component U.S. military personnel for the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 influenza seasons. Recruits experienced a much higher burden of disease compared to non-recruits, with crude incidence rates of influenza-like illness 2–16 times higher than non-recruits depending on the season and cohort. For both seasons, a slightly greater protection from influenza-like illness was found for non-recruits who received TIV compared to LAIV (adjusted incidence rate ratio, 1.17 (95% CI, 1.14–1.20) and 1.33 (95% CI, 1.30–1.36), 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 influenza seasons, respectively). However, for Army and Air Force recruits, LAIV was found to provide significantly greater protection from influenza-like illnesses compared to TIV, with adjusted incidence rates of influenza-like illness 22–51% and 18–47% lower among LAIV compared to TIV recipients for the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 influenza seasons, respectively. Possible reasons for differences in recruit and non-recruit findings include differences in pre-existing influenza antibody levels, differing respiratory disease burden, and/or unmeasured confounding. Consideration of these findings should be made when developing influenza immunization policies.

A controlled loading pulse allowed the sample to acquire stress equilibrium and a constant strain-rate of 400s−1. The sand specimen confined in a hardened steel tube, had a dry density of 1.50g/cm3 with moisture contents varied from 3% to 20% by weight. Experimental results indicate that partially saturated sand is more compressible than dry sand with the softest behavior observed at 7% moisture content. The softening of the partially saturated sand may occur due to the pore water acting as a lubricant between the sand particles. Similar trends were reported in the quasi-static regime for experiments conducted at comparable specimen conditions.

A systematic study, in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was jointly undertaken by the U.S. Army-Edgewood Chemical Biological Center to determine the sporicidal efficacies of these two fumigants on six building structural materials: carpet, ceiling tile, unpainted cinder block, painted I-beam steel, painted wallboard, and unpainted pinewood. Critical issues related to high-throughput sample processing and spore recovery from porous and nonporous surfaces included (i) the extraction of spores from complex building materials, (ii) the effects of titer challenge levels on fumigant efficacy, and (iii) the impact of bioburden inclusion on spore recovery from surfaces and spore inactivation. Small pieces (1.3 by 1.3 cm of carpet, ceiling tile, wallboard, I-beam steel, and pinewood and 2.5 by 1.3 cm for cinder block) of the materials were inoculated with an aliquot of 50 μl containing the target number (1 × 106, 1 × 107, or 1 × 108) of avirulent spores of B. anthracis NNR1Δ1. The aliquot was dried overnight in a biosafety cabinet, and the spores were extracted by a combination of a 10-min sonication and a 2-min vortexing using 0.5% buffered peptone water as the recovery medium. No statistically significant drop in the kill efficacies of the fumigants was observed when the spore challenge level was increased from 6 log units to 8 log units, even though a general trend toward inhibition of fumigant efficacy was evident. The organic burden (0 to 5%) in the spore inoculum resulted in a statistically significant drop in spore recovery (at the 2 or 5% level). The effect on spore killing was a function of the organic bioburden amount and the material type. In summary, a high-throughput quantitative method was developed for determining the efficacies of fumigants, and the spore recoveries from five porous materials and one nonporous material ranged between 20 and 80%.

To assess the applicability of this method for establishing such correlations with various performance and vulnerability properties of energetic materials, we calculated the Kohn−Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) wavefunctions and their subsequent AIM data for representative materials, including hexanitrobenzene (HNB), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), pentanitroaniline (PNA), 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), ethylenedinitramine (EDNA), 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7), 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), nitroguanidine (NQ), 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB), and the TATB dimer using the B3LYP, PBE, and PW91 potentials as well as Hartree−Fock (HF). For the HNB and HMX molecules and the TATB dimer, the number of critical points in the low-density regions of the density gradient vector field varied, sometimes dramatically, with basis set and potential even at their individually optimized geometries. Adding ghost atoms in the low-density regions also affected the existence of critical points. The variation was seen in results generated with three separate AIM software packages, AIMPAC, AIMAll, and InteGriTy. This inconsistency implies that KS-DFT wave-functions can have significant variation in the topology of the electron density to such an extent that these calculations cannot be used to justify the existence or absence of low-density critical points. Therefore, predictions of the stability of a molecule based solely on properties of low-density bond critical points generated from a single DFT calculation are questionable.

In the present study, we used the VLPs of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), an icosahedral plant virus, as a platform to display 180 copies of 16 amino acid epitopes of ricin toxin fused to the C-terminal end of a modified TBSV capsid protein (NΔ52). Expression of the chimeric recombinant protein in insect cells resulted in spontaneous assembly of VLPs displaying the ricin epitope. Cryo-electron microscopy and image reconstruction of the chimeric VLPs at 22 Å resolution revealed the locations and orientation of the ricin epitope exposed on the TBSV capsid surface. Furthermore, injection of chimeric VLPs into mice generated antisera that detected the native ricin toxin. The ease of fusing of short peptides of 15–20 residues and their ability to form two kinds (T =1, T =3) of bio-nanoparticles that result in the display of 60 or 180 copies of less constrained and highly exposed antigenic epitopes makes TBSV an attractive and versatile display platform for vaccine design.

Due to inherent viscoelastic nature of polymers and their composites, exposure to elevated temperature and moist conditions results in matrix cracking, plasticization, and interfacial debonding and so on resulting in premature failure of composite structures. Researcher have found that failure in environmentally exposed composites is mainly dominated by matrix whereas the effect on fiber is minimal. Recent advancement in polymeric nanocomposites has shown significant enhancement in mechanical and thermal properties with small weight % addition of nanoclay particles. Most of studies on modified polymeric composite have been carried out at room temperature and to the best of our knowledge no studies are performed under extreme/long-term conditions. Hence, an attempt is made in this work to study nanophased epoxy composites under accelerated ageing conditions. Epoxy resin was modified by incorporating nanoclay at different weight percentages using magnetic mixing method and then samples were prepared for various tests. The samples were subjected to hot (elevated temperature: dry, wet at 60 and 80°C) and cold (subzero: dry, wet, −18°C) conditions for 15, 45 and 90 days, respectively. Moisture absorption kinetics, quasi-static flexure and micrographic studies were performed of these composites and compared with the samples aged at control conditions. Percentage weight increase was observed in all the wet conditioned samples with a maximum of 3.1% in neat and 2.1% in 2wt% nanophased epoxy samples. Quasi-static characterization showed degradation in strength and modulus for all conditioned neat samples with a maximum decrease of 37% and 22% in strength and modulus of hot–wet (80°C) samples conditioned for 90 days in comparison to room temperature samples. 2wt% nanophased samples showed increase in strength and modulus (7% and 38% under room temperature, 20% and 29% under hot–wet (80°C) ∼90 days conditions) over neat samples when similarly conditioned. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) showed significant decrease in number of cracks in 2wt% nanophased samples in comparison to neat samples.

Stabilization of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Marine Sediment. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2009/05/15/ VL - 43 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3815 EP - 3823 SN - 0013936X AB - We report results on the first field-scale application of activated carbon (AC) amendment to contaminated sediment for in-situ stabilization of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The test was performed on a tidal mud flat at South Basin, adjacent to the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco Bay, CA. The major goals of the field study were to (1) assess scale up of the AC mixing technology using two available, large-scale devices, (2) validate the effectiveness of the AC amendment at the field scale, and (3) identify possible adverse effects of the remediation technology. Also, the test allowed comparison among monitoring tools, evaluation of longer-term effectiveness of AC amendment, and identification of field-related factors that confound the performance of in-situ biological assessments. Following background pretreatment measurements, we successfully incorporated AC into sediment to a nominal 30 cm depth during a single mixing event, as confirmed by total organic carbon and black carbon contents in the designated test plots. The measured AC dose averaged 2.0-3.2 wt% and varied depending on sampling locations and mixing equipment AC amendment did not impact sediment resuspension or PCB release into the water column over the treatment plots, nor adversely impact the existing macro benthic community composition, richness, or diversity. The PCB bioaccumulation in marine clams was reduced when exposed to sediment treated with 2% AC in comparison to the control plot Field-deployed semi permeable membrane devices and polyethylene devices showed about 50% reduction in PCB uptake in AC-treated sediment and similar reduction in estimated pore- water PCB concentration. This reduction was evident even after 13-month post-treatment with then 7 months of continuous exposure, indicating AC treatment efficacy was retained for an extended period. Aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations and PCB desorption showed an AC-dose response. Field- exposed AC after 18 months retained a strong stabilization capability to reduce aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations by about 90%, which also supports the long-term effectiveness of AC in the field. Additional mixing during or after AC deployment increasing AC dose, reducing AC-particle size, and sequential deployment of AC dose will likely improve AC-sediment contact and overall effectiveness. The reductions in PCB availability observed with slow mass transfer under field conditions calls for predictive models to assess the long-term trends in pore-water PCB concentrations and the benefits of alternative in-situ AC application and mixing strategies.

JO - Biomacromolecules JF - Biomacromolecules Y1 - 2009/05/11/ VL - 10 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1055 EP - 1060 SN - 15257797 AB - Riboswitches are regulatory RNAs located in the 5′-untranslated region of mRNA sequences that recognize and bind to small molecules and regulate the expression of downstream genes. Creation of synthetic riboswitches to novel ligands depends on the ability to monitor riboswitch activation in the presence of analyte. In our work, we have coupled a synthetic riboswitch to an optical reporter assay based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two genetically encoded fluorescent proteins. The theophylline-sensitive riboswitch was placed upstream of the Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease coding sequence. Our FRET construct was composed of eGFP and a nonfluorescent yellow fluorescent protein mutant called REACh (for resonance energy-accepting chromoprotein) connected with a peptide linker containing a TEV protease cleavage site. Addition of theophylline to the E. colicells activates the riboswitch and initiates the translation of mRNA. Synthesized protease cleaves the linker in the FRET-based fusion protein causing a change in the fluorescence signal. By this method, we observed an 11-fold increase in cellular extract fluorescence in the presence of theophylline. The advantage of using an eGFP-REACh pair is the elimination of acceptor fluorescence. This leads to an improved detection of FRET via better signal-to-noise ratio, allowing us to monitor riboswitch activation in a wide range of analyte concentrations from 0.01 to 2.5 mM.

The main purpose of this registration technique is to serve as a processing step in a moving target indication (MTI) algorithm, where subsequent steps include frame-to-frame differencing and thresholding. Experiments show that the block Wiener-based approach is computationally efficient and effective in terms of facilitating a MTI. These experiments compare the block Wiener-based against traditional global parametric registration, pixel-based Wiener registration, block-based motion compensation, and state-of-the-art phase-based registration.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1043 EP - 1050 SN - 07307268 AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely used as an explosive in munition formulations, resulting in contamination of wildlife habitat on military installations. To estimate health effects for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted using the Western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Estimated oral median lethal doses were 72 (95% confidence interval [CI], 49-106) mg/kg body weight (slope, 3.754) for males and 88 (95% CI, 65- 119) mg/kg (slope, 4.525) for females. Toxicity from RDX suggested the neurological system as the critical target tissue. A 14-d subacute study followed with males dosed orally with RDX (corn oil) at 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 mg/kg/d. Signs of toxicity frequently included a characteristic body posture. A significant dose-survival relationship was seen over the range of doses, with a significant decrease in survival at 20 mg/kg/d. Males in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 8, and 11 mg/ kg/d, and signs of toxicity included lethargy, cachexia, and anorexia. Survival was decreased at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Reduced growth rate and food consumption occurred at 5 mg/kg/d. Brain tissue was assayed for RDX when seizures were observed at a residue concentration of at least 18 μg/g. No abnormalities were observed in the hematologic indices, whereas plasma proteins were reduced. Hepatic enlargement and decreased testes mass occurred at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Plasma testosterone concentrations, sperm counts, and motility measures were variable for all treatment levels. Based on survival, growth rate, food intake, and testes to brain weight ratios, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 5 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 2.5 mg/ kg/d.

American National Standard Methods for the Measuring Real-Ear Attenuation of Hearing Protectors, American National Standards Institute, New York]. Six hearing protection devices (two earmuffs, foam, premolded, custom-molded earplugs, and canal-caps) were tested in six laboratories using the experimenter-supervised, Method A, and (naïve) subject-fit, Method B, protocols with 24 subjects per laboratory. Within-subject, between-subject, and between-laboratory standard deviations were determined for individual frequencies and A-weighted attenuations. The differences for the within-subject standard deviations were not statistically significant between Methods A and B. Using between-subject standard deviations from Method A, 3–12 subjects would be required to identify 6-dB differences between attenuation distributions. Whereas using between-subject standard deviations from Method B, 5–19 subjects would be required to identify 6-dB differences in attenuation distributions of a product tested within the same laboratory. However, the between-laboratory standard deviations for Method B were -0.1 to 3.0 dB less than the Method A results. These differences resulted in considerably more subjects being required to identify statistically significant differences between laboratories for Method A (12–132 subjects) than for Method B (9–28 subjects).

T1 - Development of a clinical prediction rule to identify patients with neck pain likely to benefit from cervical traction and exercise. JO - European Spine Journal JF - European Spine Journal Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 18 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 382 EP - 391 SN - 09406719 AB - The objective of the study was to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to identify patients with neck pain likely to improve with cervical traction. The study design included prospective cohort of patients with neck pain referred to physical therapy. Development of a CPR will assist clinicians in classifying patients with neck pain likely to benefit from cervical traction. Eighty patients with neck pain received a standardized examination and then completed six sessions of intermittent cervical traction and cervical strengthening exercises twice weekly for 3 weeks. Patient outcome was classified at the end of treatment, based on perceived recovery according to the global rating of change. Patients who achieved a change ≥+6 (“A great deal better” or “A very great deal better”) were classified as having a successful outcome. Univariate analyses ( t tests and chi-square) were conducted on historical and physical examination items to determine potential predictors of successful outcome. Variables with a significance level of P ≤ 0.15 were retained as potential prediction variables. Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative likelihood ratios (LRs) were then calculated for all variables with a significant relationship with the reference criterion of successful outcome. Potential predictor variables were entered into a step-wise logistic regression model to determine the most accurate set of clinical examination items for prediction of treatment success. Sixty-eight patients (38 female) were included in data analysis of which 30 had a successful outcome. A CPR with five variables was identified: (1) patient reported peripheralization with lower cervical spine (C4–7) mobility testing; (2) positive shoulder abduction test; (3) age ≥55; (4) positive upper limb tension test A; and (5) positive neck distraction test. Having at least three out of five predictors present resulted in a +LR equal to 4.81 (95% CI = 2.17–11.4), increasing the likelihood of success with cervical traction from 44 to 79.2%. If at least four out of five variables were present, the +LR was equal to 23.1 (2.5–227.9), increasing the post-test probability of having improvement with cervical traction to 94.8%. This preliminary CPR provides the ability to a priori identify patients with neck pain likely to experience a dramatic response with cervical traction and exercise. Before the rule can be implemented in routine clinical practice, future studies are necessary to validate the rule. The CPR developed in this study may improve clinical decision-making by assisting clinicians in identifying patients with neck pain likely to benefit from cervical traction and exercise.

A dc voltage source is assumed as the input to the inverter, and under faulty conditions of the inverter switch, the actual voltage applied between the line to neutral (open neutral) of the 3-phase circuit is derived, based on the inverter switching table. This issue is very important, since during motor analysis and simulation it very often becomes necessary to use a line-to-neutral voltage as input to the simulation process or analysis, for which current is the output. The paper studies the necessary and sufficient conditions required for the line-to-neutral voltages indicated in the switching truth table to be true.

UVGI lamps require that radiometric measurements be performed to ensure their safe and effective use. This study evaluates 10 detectors that measure the ultraviolet radiation hazard of low-pressure mercury UVGI lamps, including a polychromator spectroradiometer, narrowband detectors designed to measure the ultraviolet radiation in a short range of wavelengths, and broadband detectors with a varying spectral response designed to follow the UV hazard action spectrum. The angular responses, spectral responses, and linearity of the detectors were measured and compared. The agreement between the measured angular responses and the ideal cosine responses varied widely among the detectors, and in general, the detectors with diffusing optics agreed significantly better with the ideal cosine response. The spectral responses at 254 nm also varied widely among the detectors, and, in general, the narrowband detectors agreed more closely with the 254 nm irradiances measured under the same conditions by a double monochromator spectroradiometer. All detectors displayed good linearity. The angular and spectral response data were then used to develop correction factors for the effective irradiance measurements of two UVGI sources, each measured at 10, 20, and 30 cm. The measured effective irradiances were compared with those measured by a double monochromator spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere input optic. Prior to correction, the effective irradiances measured by the detectors varied widely, ranging from 0.29 to 2.7 times those measured by the spectroradiometer. The application of cosine and spectral response correction factors significantly improved the agreement for the effective irradiances measured by all of the detectors, typically to within 10-20%. Awareness of these detector characteristics can play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of health hazard measurements of UVGI lamps.

The images obtained from two sides of the building were combined in order to obtain the full building layout, including the interior structure. Computer simulations performed with Xpatch, a physical optics-based ray tracing code, are used to explain some phenomena observed in the measured SAR images.

We use the finite-difference time-domain modeling technique to compute the radar return from configurations of increasing complexity, where humans and furniture objects are placed in a room. We apply SAR image formation techniques and analyze the images obtained for various wall materials, aspect angles, and radar parameters. We investigate the multipath propagation issues relevant to STTW imaging radar and discuss the radar parameter tradeoff based on image quality. We also look at images obtained in cross-polarization, demonstrating how this radar operational mode can achieve significant clutter rejection. The phenomenological results obtained in this paper can be used as guidance by radar engineers in order to optimize the performance of STTW SAR imaging systems.

JO - Water Policy JF - Water Policy Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 11 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 379 EP - 399 SN - 13667017 AB - Texas faces a number of issues in an attempt to balance the water needs of a growing population while at the same time trying to conserve its water resources. Some of these issues include infrastructure improvements and provision of new supplies, changing patterns of use, water marketing and aquifer depletion. With aquifers providing 60% of all the water used in Texas, protecting and keeping these sources viable in the future is a key priority in addressing the state's water issues. With the state's emphasis on local control and the existence of between 80 and 90 groundwater districts state-wide, this research seeks to answer the question "Do groundwater districts in the State of Texas make a difference in groundwater depletion?" We use panel data from a set of 8,110 observations in a fixed effects regression to help us answer this question. We find evidence to suggest that groundwater districts do make a difference. After taking into consideration a couple of potential threats to validity, we run our model on a per district basis and by groundwater management areas. We also run it on a per aquifer basis and compare results with recommendations in the 2007 Texas Water Plan as a reality check. If we successfully answer the question that districts do in fact matter, the next logical step is to investigate what it is that districts do that makes a difference.

This new compound was synthesized hydrothermally and is a rare example of a strontium metal-organic network. The compound network contains three distinct Sr centers, one of which is seven-coordinate and the other two are nine-coordinate geometry. The benzene rings form a herring-bone type of arrangement down the a-axis. The material is thermally stable to ca. 230°C and transforms to an unknown material before finally decomposing to phase-pure SrCO3 at 650°C. The synthesis, structure, morphology and materials properties are discussed.

It is an androgen receptor antagonist and testosterone hydroxylase modulator that is also more persistent than its parent compound. In a previous study we demonstrated that embryonic exposure to different doses of p,p′-DDE accelerated onset of puberty in females and reduced male reproductive behavior. In the present study we investigated the long-term effects of the exposure to p,p′-DDE on the differentiation of male Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) limbic circuits related to male copulatory behavior: the parvocellular vasotocin (VT) system. We observed a decrease in the density of VT-immunoreactive fibers within the medial preoptic nucleus, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and lateral septum in p,p′-DDE-treated birds, while no differences could be detected in the magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus. In particular the lowest dose of p,p′-DDE causes the highest decrease of VT immunoreactivity. This study provides further evidence for VT system sensitivity towards endocrine disrupting chemicals and demonstrates that the VT system may be an appropriate and sensitive biomarker for early p,p′-DDE exposure in birds.

The principle behind reaction cell (RC)-ICP-MS is to remove a particular polyatomic interference by dissociation or formation of a different polyatomic species that no longer interferes with the analyte of interest. However, some interferences cannot be removed by commonly reported reaction gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen, or methane, necessitating using more reactive and hazardous gases, such as ammonia. The current study investigates oxygen as a reaction gas in RC-ICP-MS to specifically react with vanadium analyte ions, rather than the interferents, to produce a polyatomic analyte species and thereby provide a way to analyze for vanadium in complex environmental matrices. The technique has been tested on a series of river water, tap water, and synthetic laboratory samples, and shown to be successful in vanadium analyses in high chloride and sulfate matrices. The zinc isobaric interference on the new vanadium oxide analyte at m/z 67 is also investigated, and can be corrected by using a standard mathematical correction equation. The results of this study further increase the utility of RC-ICP-MS analytical techniques for complex environmental matrices.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2009/04/21/ VL - 48 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 3425 EP - 3435 SN - 00062960 AB - Insecticide and nerve agent organophosphorus (OP) compounds are potent inhibitors of the serine hydrolase superfamily of enzymes. Nerve agents, such as sarin, soman, tabun, and VX exert their toxicity by inhibiting human acetycholinesterase at nerve synapses. Following the initial phosphonylation of the active site serine, the enzyme may reactivate spontaneously or through reaction with an appropriate nucleophilic oxime. Alternatively, the enzyme-nerve agent complex can undergo a secondary process, called "aging", which dealkylates the nerve agent adduct and results in a product that is highly resistant to reactivation by any known means. Here we report the structures of paraoxon, soman, and sarin complexes of group-Vu phospholipase A2 from bovine brain. In each case, the crystal structures indicate a nonaged adduct; a stereoselective preference for binding of the PsCs isomer of soman and the Ps isomer of sarin was also noted. The stability of the nonaged complexes was corroborated by trypsin digest and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, which indicates nonaged complexes are formed with diisopropylfluorophosphate, soman, and sarin. The Ps stereoselectivity for reaction with sarin was confirmed by reaction of racemic sarin, followed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using a chiral column to separate and quantitate each stereoisomer. The Ps stereoisomers of soman and sarin are known to be the more toxic stereoisomers, as they react preferentially to inhibit human acetylcholinesterase. The results obtained for nonaged complexes of group-Vill phospholipase A2 are compared to those obtained for other serine hydrolases and discussed to partly explain determinants of OP aging. Furthermore, structural insights can now be exploited to engineer variant versions of this enzyme with enhanced nerve agent binding and hydrolysis functions.

However, these two approaches do not produce comparable linear calibrations. To do this, a weighted regression line needs to be calculated. A weighted regression coefficient is subsequently defined to evaluate the 'goodness-of-fit' and is expressed as function of the %RSD.

JO - Macromolecules JF - Macromolecules Y1 - 2009/04/14/ VL - 42 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2472 EP - 2479 SN - 00249297 AB - The effects of the sweep fluid on solid-state polymerization (SSP) of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (BPA-PC) were investigated. Prepolymers with two different number-average molecular weights, PCP6C (Mn= 3800 g/mol) and PCP9C (Mn= 2400 g/mol), were synthesized using melt transesterification. Solid-state polymerization of these prepolymers was carried out at temperatures in the range of 150−190 °C with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and N2as the sweep fluids. It was found that scCO2at 207 bar could either increase or decrease the rate of SSP relative to the rate in atmospheric N2, depending on the prepolymer molecular weight. At 190 °C, the molecular weights of the polymers synthesized from the higher-molecular-weight prepolymer (PCP6C) were higher with scCO2as the sweep fluid compared to those of the polymers synthesized with N2. In contrast, at the same temperature of 190 °C, the molecular weights of the polymers synthesized from the lower-molecular-weight prepolymer (PCP9C) were lower with scCO2compared to those of the polymers synthesized with N2. This apparently contradictory effect can be understood in terms of competition between rate-increasing effects of scCO2, such as greater chain mobility and a higher byproduct diffusion coefficient caused by plasticizing of the polymer by scCO2, and rate-diminishing effects associated with scCO2, such as lamellar thickening, higher crystallinity, and perhaps increased occlusion of end groups in crystalline regions.

We have implemented a secant version of the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) method that requires far fewer model calls for local search than the PEST LM methodology. Efficiency studies on three distinct environmental model structures (HSPF, FASST, and GSSHA) show that we can find comparable local minima with 36–84% fewer model calls than a conventional model independent LM application. Using the secant LM method for local search, MICUT also supports global optimization through the use of a slightly modified version of a stochastic global search technique called Multi-Level Single Linkage [Rinnooy Kan, A.H.G., Timmer, G., 1987a. Stochastic global optimization methods, part I: clustering methods. Math. Program. 39, 27–56; Rinnooy Kan, A.H.G., Timmer, G., 1987b. Stochastic global optimization methods, part ii: multi level methods. Math. Program. 39, 57–78.]. Comparison studies with three environmental models suggest that the stochastic global optimization algorithm in MICUT is at least as, and sometimes more efficient and reliable than the global optimization algorithms available in PEST.

This vibration is mostly linear, but also includes a small nonlinear deviation. The main goal of this paper is to introduce a method of processing that uses phase-inversion to observe nonlinear effects in a wide frequency band. The method extracts a nonlinear part of surface velocity from two similar broadcast signals of opposite sign by summing and canceling the linear components and leaving the nonlinear components. This phase-inversion method is combined with time reversal focusing to provide increased seismic vibration and enhance the nonlinear effect. The experiments used six loudspeakers in a wood box placed over sand in which inert landmines were buried. The nonlinear surface velocity of the sand with a mine compared to the sand without a mine was greater as compared to a linear technique.

Four were rolled mats and five were panel-type systems. A full-scale test section of each mat system was installed over a sand subgrade and trafficked with a fully loaded military truck. Mat deformation and damage were systematically surveyed at a series of traffic level intervals up to 2000 truck passes. The performance data were analyzed and presented graphically, and the mats were compared according to their abilities to sustain the traffic. The mat systems were further evaluated on the bases of rate of deployment, logistical footprint (unit weight and volume), and cost.

Pixelated grayscale masks often suffer from limited vertical resolution due to restrictions on the mask fabrication. The double. exposure technique uses two pixelated grayscale mask exposures before development and dramatically increases the vertical resolution without altering the mask fabrication process. An empirical calibration technique was employed for mask design and was also applied to study the effects of exposure time and mask misalignment on the photoresist profile. This technology has been demonstrated to improve the average step between photoresist levels from 0.19 to 0.02 μm and the maximum step from 0.43 to 0.2 μm compared to a single pixelated exposure using the same mask design.

Stable operation of the air-driven silicon microturbine is shown for over 1000000 revolutions at speeds, pressure drops, and flow rates of up to 10000 r/min, 0.45 lbf/in², and 3.5 slm, respectively. Incorporation of a gas thrust plenum using a novel packaging scheme has enabled comprehensive spin-down friction characterization of the encapsulated microball bearing. An empirical power-law model for dynamic friction has been developed for speeds of 250-5000 r/min and loads of 10-50 mN, corresponding to torques of 0.0625-2.5 μN · m and friction torque constants of 2.25-5.25 × 10-4 μN · m/r/min. The onset and effect of wear and wear debris have been studied, showing negligible wear in the load bearing surfaces for the operating conditions considered.

Six healthy men (26±4 years; 176±5cm; 75.8±11.4kg) performed a knee extension exercise protocol on two occasions separated by 1–3 weeks. Rest preceded one trial (i.e., control [CON] trial) and a high-volume upper-body RE protocol designed to increase circulating T preceded the other trial (i.e., high T [HT] trial). Serial blood samples were obtained throughout each trial to determine circulating T concentrations. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis were obtained pre-RE (REST), 10-min post-RE (+10), and 180-min post-RE (+180) to determine muscle AR content. Circulating T concentrations remained stable during CON. Alternately, HT significantly (p ≤0.05) increased T concentrations above resting values (+16%). Testosterone area-under-the-time curve during HT exceeded CON by 14%. AR content remained stable from REST to +10 in both trials. Compared to the corresponding +10 value, muscle AR content at +180 tended to decrease during CON (−33%; p =0.10) but remained stable during HT (+40%; p =0.17). Muscle AR content at +180 during the HT trial exceeded the corresponding CON value. In conclusion, acute elevations in circulating T potentiated muscle AR content following RE.

Regardless of the algorithm selected, detection performance can be severely degraded when the subspace defined by the target data set is singular or ill conditioned. High correlations between target components and their linear combinations lead to false positives and misidentifications, especially for subspace-based detectors. In this paper, we propose a subspace partitioning scheme that allows for detection to be performed in a number of better conditioned subspaces instead of the original subspace. The proposed technique is applied to Raman spectroscopic data analysis. Through both simulation and experimental results, we demonstrate the improvement in the overall detection performance when using the proposed subspace partitioning scheme in conjunction with several subspace detection methods that are commonly used in practice.

Crimes committed by either security or support contractor employees can severely impact military operations. Legal authority exists to prosecute crimes committed by contractor employees overseas at court-martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and before federal courts under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA). Prosecuting civilian contractor employees under the MEJA appears advantageous to the UCMJ, but as presently administered, the MEJA prosecutions are inadequate to effectively deter and address contractor employee misconduct. This effectiveness can be greatly increased under existing authority to use military attorneys to prosecute civilian contractor employees before federal courts.

However, current information regarding the environmental effects and health risks associated with nanomaterials is limited and sometimes contradictory. This article summarizes the conclusions of a 2008 NATO workshop designed to evaluate the wide-scale implications (e.g., benefits, risks, and costs) of the use of nanomaterials on human health and the environment. A unique feature of this workshop was its interdisciplinary nature and focus on the practical needs of policy decision makers. Workshop presentations and discussion panels were structured along four main themes: technology and benefits, human health risk, environmental risk, and policy implications. Four corresponding working groups (WGs) were formed to develop detailed summaries of the state-of-the-science in their respective areas and to discuss emerging gaps and research needs. The WGs identified gaps between the rapid advances in the types and applications of nanomaterials and the slower pace of human health and environmental risk science, along with strategies to reduce the uncertainties associated with calculating these risks.

One of the manifestations of brittle material response is the failure wave phenomenon, which has been previously observed in shock-compressed glasses. However, based on the measurements from our “theory critical” experiments, both alumina and boron carbide did not exhibit this phenomenon. In experiments with free and pre-stressed ceramics, while the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) in high-density B4C ceramic was found to be very sensitive to the transverse stress, it was found relatively less sensitive in Al2O3, implying brittle response of the boron carbide and ductile behavior of alumina. To further investigate the effects of stress states on the shock response of brittle materials, a “divergent flow or spherical shock wave” based plate impact experimental technique was employed to vary the ratio of longitudinal and transversal stresses and to probe conditions for compressive fracture thresholds. Two different experimental approaches were considered to generate both longitudinal and shear waves in the target through the impact of convex flyer plates. In the ceramic target plates, the shear wave separates a region of highly divergent flow behind the decaying spherical longitudinal shock wave and a region of low-divergent flow. Experiments with divergent shock loading of alumina and boron carbide ceramic plates coupled with computer simulations demonstrated the validity of these experimental approaches to develop a better understanding of fracture phenomena.

For this application the deck is subjected to combined bending and compressive longitudinal axial load because it also serves as the top chord of the truss for the bridge system. In an experimental program, deck specimens were tested in several configurations. The results are compared to ACI 440 design guide equations, and capacity prediction techniques are proposed for limit states associated with flexural and flexural-shear under the combined loading. It was found that the ACI 440 equations accurately predicted the flexural and flexural-shear capacities under combined loads provided that eccentricity due to the combined loading was accounted for in the calculations.

A sealed commercial cell (Sony Co.) with a nominal capacity of 840mAh was used for the experiment. An equivalent circuit used to model the impedance spectra show that, with continuous cycling there is a relatively large increase in the interfacial impedance and charge transfer resistances after a few hundred charge–discharge cycles. It was observed that the cell capacity decrease with increase cell impedance. SEM analysis on the electrodes shows that during continuous charge–discharge cycling, the deposition of sub-micro-size particles and dissolution of surface films on the graphite surface. This observation is consistent with increase in cell impedance as a function of charge/discharge cycling.

Existing literature does not provide a systematic foundation for equations considered and often engineers and geologists typically do not properly consider the mathematical constraints placed on the problem of sediment budget construction. The present technical note presents a simple methodology for assessing sediment budget, i.e. what is possible, and what is not possible via a matrix equation system and linear algebra. It is hoped that engineers and geologists will not impose unrealistic expectations on the sediment budget system via using such an approach. Some simple examples are given of both pitfalls and correct approaches to sediment budget development.

The purpose of the session was to share information on both programmatic and technical aspects associated with emerging contaminants. Emerging contaminants are chemicals or materials that are characterized by a perceived or real threat to human health or environment, a lack of published health standards or an evolving standard. A contaminant may also be “emerging” because of the discovery of a new source, a new pathway to humans, or a new detection method or technology. The session included five speakers representing the Department of Defense (DoD), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and each of the military services. The DoD created the Emerging Contaminant Directorate to proactively address environmental, health, and safety concerns associated with emerging contaminants. This session described the scan–watch–action list process, impact assessment methodology, and integrated risk management concept that DoD has implemented to manage emerging contaminants. EPA presented emerging trends in health risk assessment. Researchers made technical presentations on the status of some emerging contaminates in the assessment process (i.e. manganese, RDX, and naphthalene).

The kinetic microplate method described here determines the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of immobilized antimicrobial peptides through a combination and modification of traditional solution assays, overcoming the difficulties of working with a solid substrate. The technique enables rapid, accurate evaluation of immobilized peptide lytic behavior, elucidating both dose- and time-dependent activity at multiple concentrations. Furthermore, the method yields information regarding sublethal concentrations not realized in the traditional assays.

This powerful, but seldom used, nonparametic method is described and specific examples are used to illustrate its simplicity and elegance. An abbreviated table of probabilities is included.
Evaluation and accountability are frequently viewed as dark could looming over program development and individual staff appraisals. Every service provider faces challenges to prove that her of she has been effective in his or her job. But designing, conducting, and analyzing studies to evaluate services can be time consuming and complex, typically requiring changes in routines, identification and use of sophisticated measurement devices, and esoteric statistics long since forgotten, repressed, or joyously discarded. This is an unnecessary state of affairs because there are a number of simple procedures available. Perhaps because of their simplicity, these procedures have not received the attention they deserve. The subject of this article, the binomial expansion (BE), is one of these simple techniques. It requires only the identification of two numbers and a table of probabilities (see Table 1).

He cites the software's lack of item to allow Army recruiters to assess suicide behavior. He notes the need for the software to include the assessment of four variants of suicide attempts, namely, actual suicide attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt and ambiguous attempt. He also suggests greater specificity when assessing a given mental disorder. KW - COMPUTER software KW - SUICIDE KW - SUICIDAL behavior KW - MENTAL illness KW - UNITED States KW - UNITED States.

This is verified by the radial dependence of modulation bandwidth. These arrays may be useful for short-range light detection and ranging or free-space optical communications systems.

Studies have shown that urban and agricultural development cannot only harm species populations directly through habitat destruction, but also by destroying the corridors that connect habitat patches and populations within a metapopulation. Without these pathways, populations can encounter inbreeding depression and degeneration, which can increase death rates and lower rates of reproduction. This article describes the development and application of the FRAGGLE model, a spatial system dynamics model designed to calculate connectivity indices among populations. FRAGGLE can help planners and managers identify the relative contribution of populations associated with habitat patches to future populations in those patches, taking into account the importance of interstitial land to migration success. The model is applied to the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a threatened species whose southeastern U.S. distribution has diminished significantly within its native range due to agricultural and urban development over the last several decades. This model is parameterized with life history and movement traits of the gopher tortoise in order to simulate population demographics and spatial distribution within an area in west-central Georgia that supports a significant tortoise population. The implications of this simulation modeling effort are demonstrated using simple landscape representations and a hypothetical on land-use management scenario. Our findings show that development resulting in even limited habitat losses (10%) may lead to significant increases in fragmentation as measured by a loss in the rate of dispersions (31%) among area subpopulations.

Here we established spatially and temporally controllable concentration gradients of molecules (i.e.proteins or toxins) in a portable microfluidic device in an easy and rapid manner. The formation of the concentration gradients was initiated by a passive-pump-induced forward flow and further optimized during an evaporation-induced backward flow. The centimeter-long gradients along the microfluidic channel were shown to be spatially and temporally controlled by the backward flow. The gradient profile was stabilized by stopping the flow. Computational simulations of this dynamic process illustrated the combined effects of convection and diffusion on the gradient generation, and fit well with the experimental data. To demonstrate the applications of this methodology, a stabilized concentration gradient of a cardiac toxin, alpha-cypermethrin, along the microchannel was used to test the response of HL-1 cardiac cells in the micro-device, which correlated with toxicity data obtained from multi-well plates. The approach presented here may be useful for many biological and chemical processes that require rapid generation of long-range gradients in a portable microfluidic device.

Therefore, a fundamental understanding of their thermal decomposition mechanisms and thermodynamics is of great interest. In this study, the specular reflection isopotential searching method was used to investigate the unimolecular decomposition mechanisms of 5-iminotetrazole (5-ITZ), 1H-5-aminotetrazole (1H-5-ATZ), and 2H-5-aminotetrazole (2H-5-ATZ). Subsequent thermochemical analysis of the unimolecular decomposition pathways was performed at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level of theory. Based upon the relative reaction barriers predicted in this study, the initial gaseous products of 5-ITZ unimolecular decomposition are HN3and NH2CN (calculated activation barrier equal to 199.5 kJ/mol). On the other hand, the initial gaseous products of 1H-5-ATZ and 2H-5-ATZ unimolecular decomposition are predicted to be N2and metastable CH3N3(calculated activation barriers equal to 169.2 and 153.7 kJ/mol, respectively). These predicted unimolecular decomposition products and activation barriers are in excellent agreement with thermal decomposition experiments performed by Lesnikovich et al. [Lesnikovich, A. I.; Ivashkevich, O. A.; Levchik, S. V.; Balabanovich, A. I.; Gaponik, P. N.; Kulak, A. A. Thermochim. Acta2002, 388, 233], in which the apparent activation barriers were measured to be approximately 200 and 150 kJ/mol, respectively, for 5-ITZ and 1H-5-ATZ/2H-5-ATZ.

T1 - Microstructures and recrystallization behavior of severely hot-deformed tungsten JO - Materials Science & Engineering: A JF - Materials Science & Engineering: A Y1 - 2009/03/15/ VL - 503 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 28 EP - 31 SN - 09215093 AB - Abstract: When coarse-grained (CG) tungsten (W) is heavily worked by equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE), the grain size is reduced to the ultrafine-grained/nanocrystalline regimes (UFG/NC) and the strength and ductility increase. Because of the brittle nature of CG W, the material must be hot-extruded, and, if the temperatures are near the recrystallization temperature (T rc), gains in properties may not be maximized. In this study, the recrystallization behavior of ECAE-processed CG W is examined as a function of the imparted strain (i.e., number of extrusions) and the hot-working extrusion temperature. Up to four ECAE passes were performed in tooling with a 90° channel intersection, and at temperatures of 1000°C or 1200°C. Subsequent 60min annealing of the worked material to 1600°C allowed for the determination of T rc. Vickers microhardness measurements and scanning electron microscopy, were used to characterize the microstructures in the as-worked and recrystallized states. The ECAE-processed W shows increased microstructural break-up and refinement with increasing strain and decreasing hot-working temperature in the fully worked state. T rc was determined to be ∼1400°C, which is nearly independent of the number of extrusions and the working temperature. These results show that if ECAE is accomplished below 1400°C (i.e., at 1000°C or lower) the attractive properties of the UFG/NC-worked W may be retained. Specifically, below 1000°C, with increasing strain imparted to the material, high hardness values with a concomitant grain size refinement (∼350nm) could be expected.

In this study, we investigated a potential in situ biobarrier configuration designed to neutralize pH and remove nitrate and radionuclides from nitric acid-, U-, and Tc-contaminated groundwater for over 21 months. Ethanol additions to groundwater flowing through native sediment and crushed limestone effectively increased pH (from 4.7 to 6.9), promoted removal of 116 mM nitrate, increased sediment biomass, and immobilized 94% of total U. Increased groundwater pH and significant U removal was also observed in a control column that received no added ethanol. Sequential extraction and XANES analyses showed U in this sediment to be solid-associated U(VI), and EXAFS analysis results were consistent with uranyl orthophosphate (UO2)3(PO4)2·4H2O(s), which may control U solubility in this system. Ratios of respiratory ubiquinones to menaquinones and copies of dissimilatory nitrite reductase genes, nirS and nirK, were at least 1 order of magnitude greater in the ethanol-stimulated system compared to the control, indicating that ethanol addition promoted growth of a largely denitrifying microbial community. Sediment 16S rRNA gene clone libraries showed that Betaproteobacteria were dominant (89%) near the source of influent acidic groundwater, whereas members of Gamma- and Alphaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes increased along the flow path as pH increased and nitrate concentrations decreased, indicating spatial shifts in community composition as a function of pH and nitrate concentrations. Results of this study support the utility of biobarriers for treating acidic radionuclide- and nitrate-contaminated groundwater.

The performance enhancement becomes more effective when heating a mixture of CF x and citric acid (CA) since CA serves as an extra carbon source. Discharge experiments show that the thermal treatment not only reduces initial voltage delay, but also raises discharge voltage. Whereas the measurement of powder impedance indicates the thermal treatment does not increase electronic conductivity of CF x material. Based on these facts, we propose that the thermal treatment results in a limited decomposition of CF x , which yields a subfluorinated carbon (CF x−δ ), instead of a highly conductive carbon. In the case of CF x /AC mixture, the AC provides extra carbon that reacts with F2 and fluorocarbon radicals generated by the thermal decomposition of CF x to form subfluorinated carbon. The process of thermal treatment is studied by thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction, and the effect of treatment conditions such as heating temperature, heating time and CF x /CA ratio on the discharge performance of CF x cathode is discussed. As an example, a Li/CF x cell using CF x treated with CA at 500°C under nitrogen for 2h achieved theretical specific capacity when being discharged at C/5. Impedance analysis indicates that the enhanced performance is attributed to a significant reduction in the cell reaction resistance.

Both visual observation and impedance analysis show that metallic Li is kinetically stable in a 0.5m LiBF4 1:1 AN/BL electrolyte. This property is attributed to the formation of a protective passivation film on the surface of metallic Li, and it has been successfully used to develop the low temperature electrolyte for Li/CF x cells. It is shown that the cell with such an electrolyte outperforms the control cell with 0.5m LiBF4 1:1 (wt.) propylene carbonate (PC)/1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) electrolyte in both power capability and low temperature discharge performance. Impedance analyses reveal that the improved discharge performance is attributed to the reduction in both the bulk resistance and cell reaction resistance of the Li/CF x cell, which is related to the high ionic conductivity of the AN/BL electrolyte. Due to the chemical incompatibility between metallic Li and AN at high temperatures, the storage and operation temperature for the Li/CF x cells with 0.5m LiBF4 1:1 AN/BL electrolyte is limited to or below ambient temperature (30°C).

Ethanol is an example of a renewable fuel from which hydrogen can be derived, and E85 is a commercially available ethanol-based fuel of increasing importance. The distributed production of hydrogen from E85 fuel is one potential way of assuring availability of hydrogen as PEM fuel cells are introduced into service. NexTech Materials is collaborating with the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Laboratory (CERL) on the development of a hydrogen reformation process for E85 fuel. This paper describes the technical status of E85 fuel reforming process development work using Rh/ceria catalysts. Reforming results are compared for steam reforming and oxidative steam reforming of ethanol (the primary constituent of E85 fuel), isooctane, ethanol/iso-octane fuel mixtures (as a surrogate to E85), and commercially available E85 fuel. Stable reforming of E85 at 800°C and a space velocity of 58,000scm3 gcat−1 h−1 over a 200-h period is reported.

In this study, the effects of coagulation, pressure filtration and dual-media (gravity) filtration on the performance of the crumb rubber filtration were investigated. The removal efficiencies of turbidity, phytoplankton and zooplankton, and head loss development were monitored during the filtration process. The addition of a coagulant enhanced the removal efficiencies of all targeted matter, but resulted in substantial increase of head loss. Pressure filtration increased filtration rates to 220m3 h−1 m−2 for 8-h operation and improved the zooplankton removal. Dual-media (crumb rubber/sand) gravity filtration also improved the removal efficiencies of phytoplankton and zooplankton over mono-media gravity crumb rubber filtration. However, these filtration techniques alone did not meet the criteria for removing indigenous organisms from ballast water. A combination of filtration and disinfection is suggested for future studies.

The correlation between the hardness of a substrate and the ability to discriminate residues on that substrate is discussed. We have also shown that while using the full spectra in the chemometric model improves the classification of sample types in the model, the use of intensities and ratios specific to explosive residues improves the classification of sample types that are not part of the model. In the first case, differences in the laser-induced plasma (and resulting spectral features) attributable to the laser-material interaction contribute to the sample discrimination, while using intensities and ratios specific to explosive residues focuses on the chemical composition of the sample for discrimination. Combining the results of the two models for a given sample set decreases the overall false positive rate for all test samples.

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2009/03// VL - 74 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - M83 EP - M93 SN - 00221147 AB - High-pressure processing (HPP) can reduce or eliminate microorganisms of concern in food without deteriorating product quality; however, quality benefits must justify the substantial capital investment for the utilization of this technology. HPP is particularly a beneficial preservation technology for products damaged by thermal treatments or when product quality could be improved by reformulation to raise pH or eliminate chemical preservatives. The primary objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of HPP to protect premium ranch dressing (pH 4.4) from microbial spoilage and to assess changes in physical, chemical, and sensory attributes throughout the product's shelf life. In inoculated-packages studies, the efficacy of HPP was measured against ranch dressing spoilage organisms: Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus brevis, and Torulaspora delbrueckii. HPP treatment (600 MPa, 3 min) decreased population of P. acidilactici, the most pressure-resistant spoilage organism tested, by ≥ 6.4 log CFU/g. During a shelf-life study of edible product, treating ranch dressing at 600 MPa for 5 min effectively prevented microbial spoilage throughout the storage period (26 wk at 4 and 26 °C). The pH and emulsion stability of ranch dressing were not adversely influenced by HPP. Extended storage of HPP product for 16 to 26 wk at 26 °C resulted in a decrease in consumer acceptance and significant changes in color and organic acid profile (specifically, increased pyroglutamic acid). These changes were consistent with those expected during extended storage of commercially available products. HPP may be used to produce premium ranch dressing, with defined shelf-life and storage conditions, without significantly changing product attributes.

Coastal zones in a military-operational environment are complex regions that include sea, land and air features that demand high-volume databases of extreme detail within relatively narrow geographic corridors. Static products in the form of analog maps at varying scales traditionally have been used by military commanders and their operational planners. The rapidly changing battlefield of 21st Century warfare, however, demands dynamic mapping solutions. Commercial geographic information system (GIS) software for military-specific applications is now being developed and employed with digital databases to provide customized digital maps of variable scale, content and symbolization tailored to unique demands of military units. Research conducted by the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science at the University of Georgia demonstrated the utility of GIS-based analysis and digital map creation when developing large-scale (1:10,000) products from littoral warfare databases. The methodology employed–selection of data sources (including high resolution commercial images and Lidar), establishment of analysis/modeling parameters, conduct of vehicle mobility analysis, development of models and generation of products (such as a continuous sea–land DEM and geo-visualization of changing shorelines with tidal levels)–is discussed. Based on observations and identified needs from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, and the Department of Defense, prototype GIS models for military operations in sea, land and air environments were created from multiple data sets of a study area at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Results of these models, along with methodologies for developing large-scale littoral warfare databases, aid the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in meeting littoral warfare analysis, modeling and map generation requirements for US military organizations.

JO - Green Chemistry JF - Green Chemistry Y1 - 2009/03// VL - 11 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 334 EP - 338 SN - 14639262 AB - Hematin, a hydroxyferriprotoporphyrin, is the more stable oxidized form of the free heme. The use of hematin as a catalyst for oxidative polymerization reactions has been restricted due to its limited aqueous solubility at low pH conditions. While there have been reports on the functionalization of hematin with poly (ethylene glycol), the esters formed are not very stable at low pH conditions. We report here the design and synthesis of hematin tethered with methoxypolyethylene glycol amine chains as a novel stable biomimetic catalyst. This one step amidation was performed under solventless conditions and catalyzed by a hydrolase (Novozyme-435). The amidation greatly improved the stability of hematin at low pH. Further, this catalyst was soluble in water and was able to catalyze the polymerization of aniline based monomers. The amide functionalized hematin serves as a robust cost-effective alternative to HRP, active even at lower pH conditions.

If such material systems are to be subjected to high strain rate loads, such as those resulting from ballistic impact or blast, it will be necessary to develop models capable of describing transient stress wave propagation through these media. Such a model is formulated, solved, and applied to the impact between two bodies and to a two-layer bar or strip subjected to an instantaneously applied stress. Results from these examples suggest that the model parameters, and therefore constitutive properties and geometries, may be tuned to reduce and control the transmission of stress through these bodies.

However, validation of models is lacking, even though models are already in use and the general idea is that each is a working model, developing over time with new ideas and information. We examined the HGM developed for western Tennessee using novel data collected from six stream systems, two channelized, two channelized and leveed, and two unchannelized. The western Tennessee HGM has the ability to differentiate altered and unaltered rivers based mainly on changes to hydrologic floodplain functions, although functional capacity index values were validated from independent measures. Effects of channelization were confounded in western Tennessee by other disturbances, channel recovery processes, and variability due to levee construction. Levees render the greatest change to floodplains as they disconnect the channel and floodplain system, decreasing water tables and possible exchanges. One of the main factors controlling productivity along channels without levees was sedimentation. We recommend that estimated rates of sedimentation be incorporated into an updated version of the HGM. Variability of human alterations and natural floodplain heterogeneity suggest landscape factors (e.g., beta diversity, degree of ponding) and use of gradient indices may result in greater resolution for determining functional capacity of low gradient, riverine systems.

JO - Acta Chimica Slovenica JF - Acta Chimica Slovenica Y1 - 2009/03// VL - 56 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 218 EP - 224 SN - 13180207 AB - In this work we synthesized two novel salts for electrochemical double layer capacitors, i.e. N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium tetrakis(trifluoroacetato)borate (DMPBTFAc) and N-ethyl-N-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis[1,2-oxalato(2-O,O')]borate (EMPBOX), and determined the electrochemical window of their solutions in acetonitrile (AN) by using stepwise cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical window plays an important role in electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) as the energy density of such devices depends on the square of the operating voltage. Because anodic and cathodic decomposition voltages may be shifted with respect to the open circuit voltage (OCV), the OCV is another important characteristic of such an electrolyte. Both DMPBTFAc and EMPBOX solutions show wide electrochemical windows of about 4 V with nearly equal voltage gaps for the anodic and cathodic decomposition at activated carbon electrodes.

Za raztopine obeh spojin v acetonitrilu (AN) smo s ciklično voltametrijo določili elektrokemijsko okno, ki igra pomembno vlogo v dvoplastnih kondenzatorjih. Njihova energijska gostota je namreč odvisna od kvadratnega korena delovne napetosti. Anodna in katodna razkrojna napetost sta lahko premaknjeni glede na napetost odprtega kroga, ki je pomembna karakteristika elektrolita. Raztopine DMPBTFAc in EMPBOX v AN kažejo široko elektrokemijsko okno (4 V) s približ no enako katodno in anodno razkrojno napetostjo na aktiviranih ogljikovih elektrodah.

The goal of this study was to develop design guidance in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Time series of water depth at two locations on the levee crown and flow thickness at five locations on the landward-side slope were measured along with horizontal velocity near the landward edge of the crown. New equations are presented for average overtopping discharge, distribution of instantaneous discharge, and distribution of individual wave volumes. Equations are also given for mean flow thickness, RMS wave height, mean velocity, and velocity of the wave front down the landward-side slope.

The SO2removal capacity of Zr(OH)4was ∼90 mg SO2removed per cm3bed volume, which is almost an order of magnitude greater than the value achieved for activated carbon and is more than twice the value achieved for activated carbon impregnated with 10% CuO. Temperature-programmed desorption results indicate that SO2is strongly retained by Zr(OH)4. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results reveals the presence of sulfite (SO32−) species following reaction exposure, which suggests the formation of zirconium sulfite. Although the SO2removal capacity (volume basis) of Zr(OH)4is high, relative to that of impregnated activated carbon, only 10% of the stoichiometric hydroxyl groups are able to contribute to the removal of SO2.

Three samples of concrete made by the same formulation, but differing in age and alkalinity were used. The sulfur mustard eventually degraded to thiodiglycol and 1,4-oxathiane via the intermediate sulfonium ions CH-TG, H-TG, H-2TG and O(CH2CH2)2S+CH2CH2OH on all of the concrete samples, and in addition formed 8–31% vinyl moieties on the newer, more alkaline concrete samples. This is the first observation of the formation of O(CH2CH2)2S+CH2CH2OH on a solid substrate. The addition of 2-chloroethanol to concrete on which mustard had fully degraded to thiodiglycol and 1,4-oxathiane resulted in the formation of O(CH2CH2)2S+CH2CH2OH, thus demonstrating the reversibility of sulfur mustard degradation pathways. The sulfur mustard degradation half-lives on ambient concrete at 22°C ranged from 3.5 to 54 weeks. When the substrates were moistened, the degradation half-lives at 22°C ranged from 75 to 350h. The degradation of sulfur mustard occurred more quickly at elevated temperatures and with added water. The non-volatile toxic sulfonium ions persisted for months to years on concrete at 22°C and weeks to months on concrete at 35°C, before decomposing to the relatively non-toxic compounds thiodiglycol and 1,4-oxathiane.

The reactive PANOx and PHA were obtained by one-step oximation of polyacrylonitrile and polyacrylamide, respectively. The polymers were converted to their respective oximate salts at pH values greater than the pKaof oximate or amidoximate groups of 7.5 and 10.8, respectively. Although the PANOx and PHA exhibited spontaneous hydrolysis at ambient temperature and humidity, the conversion of the hydroxamate into the unreactive carboxylic groups was insignificant even at prolonged storage, so that the polymers maintained reactivity at ambient conditions. When exposed to ambient air or 100% humidity, the polymers imbibed up to 65 wt % water, which dramatically enhanced the polymer reactivity toward the CWA under study. The half-lives of VX in heterogeneous hydrolysis, which appeared to be pseudo-first-order in the polymer dispersions, were measured to be from 0.093 to 4.3 and 7.7 h in the presence of PANOx and PHA, respectively. The rates of hydrolytic activity of PANOx for VX exhibited a strong dependency on the degree of conversion of the amidoxime to amidoximate groups. The half-life of GB was less than 3 min. Only a minor presence of the toxic VX degradation product, S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]methylphonothioate (EA-2192), was detected in the course of degradation by the reactive polymers. The efficiency, ease of synthesis, and nontoxic nature of the PANOx and PHA polymers make them attractive materials in decontamination and as components of reactive barriers.

This double-blinded, placebo-controlled study compared the effects of an acute dose of caffeine or quercetin on endurance exercise performance during compensable heat stress (40°C, 20-30% rh). On each of three occasions, 10 healthy men each performed 30-mm of cycle ergometry at 50% VO2peak followed by a 15-mm performance time trial after receiving either placebo (Group P), caffeine (Group C; 9 mg/kg), or quercetin (Group Q; 2,000 mg). Serial blood samples, physiological (heart rate, rectal, and mean skin body temperatures), perceptual (ratings of perceived exertion, pain, thermal comfort, motivation), and exercise performance measures (total work and pacing strategy) were made. Supplementation with caffeine and quercetin increased preexercise blood concentrations of caffeine (55.62 ± 4.77 µM) and quercetin (4.76 ± 2.56 µM) above their in vitro inhibition constants for adenosine receptors. No treatment effects were observed for any physiological or perceptual measures, with the exception of elevated rectal body temperatures (0.20-0.30°C; P < 0.05) for Group C vs. Groups Q and P. Supplementation did not affect total work performed (Groups P: 153.5 ± 28.3, C: 157.3 ± 28.9, and Q: 151.1 ± 31.6 kJ; P > 0.05) or the self-selected pacing strategy employed. These findings indicate that the nutritional adenosine receptor antagonists caffeine and quercetin do not enhance endurance exercise performance during compensable heat stress.

The prevalence of obesity continues to rise in both developed and developing nations. An association between iron status and obesity has been described in children and adults. The mechanism explaining this relationship remains unknown; however, findings from recent reports suggest that body mass index and inflammation predict iron absorption and affect the response to iron fortification. The relationship between inflammation and iron absorption may be mediated by hepcidin, although further studies will be required to confirm this potential physiological explanation for the increased prevalence of iron deficiency in the obese.

USEPA developed Method 9, which is a reference method to describe how plume opacity can be quantified by human observers during daytime conditions. However, it would be beneficial to determine plume opacity with digital still cameras (DSCs) to provide graphical records of the plume and its environment during visual emission evaluation and to be able to determine plume opacity with DSCs during nighttime conditions. Digital optical method (DOM) was developed to quantify plume opacity from photographs that were provided by a DSC during daytime. Past daytime field campaigns have demonstrated that DOM provided opacity readings that met Method 9 certification requirements. In this paper, the principles and methodology of DOM to quantify plume opacity during nighttime are described. Also, results are described from a nighttime-field campaign that occurred at Springfield, IL Opacity readings provided by DOM were compared with the opacity values obtained with the reference in-stack transmissometer of the smoke generator. The average opacity errors were 2.3-3.5% for contrast model of DOM for all levels of plume opacity. The average opacity errors were 2.0-7.6% for the transmission model of DOM for plumes with opacity 0-50%. These results are encouraging and indicate that DOM has the potential to quantify plume opacity during nighttime.

However, from a modeling perspective, before the benefits of such a strategy can be attained, we must first be able to quantitatively characterize the behavior of the model coefficients as well as the model predictions as a function of prediction horizon. We need to determine if the model coefficients reflect viable physiologic dependencies of the individual glycemic measurements and whether the model is stable with respect to small changes in noise levels, leading to accurate near-future predictions with negligible time lag. We assessed the behavior of linear autoregressive data-driven models developed under three possible modeling scenarios, using continuous glucose measurements of nine subjects collected on a minute-by-minute basis for approximately 5 days. Simulation results indicated that stable and accurate models for near-future glycemic predictions (<60 mm) with clinically acceptable time lags are attained only when the raw glucose measurements are smoothed and the model coefficients are regularized. This study provides a starting point for further needed investigations before real-time deployment can be considered.

Because of study limitations, it was not possible to extrapolate the findings to the entire Army soldier population in relation to deployment status. We performed this study to determine patterns of NIHI incidence among soldiers as a function of deployment status and to determine the accuracy and completeness of provider use of NIHI-related ICD-9CM codes. These refinements to the 2005 study were made with the goal of developing a surveillance process compatible with emerging Defense Injury Surveillance processes. NIHI among soldiers diagnosed during admissions or outpatient visits from all clinics were evaluated for fiscal years 2003 through 2005. Deployment status to the Central Command Area of Operations was confirmed by referencing medical data to personnel data from two separate personnel data systems. The refined analysis demonstrated higher postdeployment rates of NIHI consistent with the previous analysis. Additionally, vertigo and imbalance disorders were evaluated. This study demonstrates the capability for noise injury surveillance to be integrated into an overall Department of Defense injury surveillance process and identifies additional measures to enhance this analytic process with further data integration and study.

Development and alteration of alluvial fans often require consideration of mud and debris flows from burned mountain watersheds. Accurate prediction of sediment (hyper-concentrated sediment or debris) yield is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general population. This paper presents results based on a statistical model and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models. The models predict sediment yield caused by storms following wildfire events in burned mountainous watersheds. Both sediment yield prediction models have been developed for use in relatively small watersheds (50-800 ha) in the greater Los Angeles area. The statistical model was developed using multiple regression analysis on sediment yield data collected from 1938 to 1983. Following the multiple regression analysis, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under burned watershed conditions was developed. The statistical model was then calibrated based on 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data collected between 1984 and 2000. The present study also evaluated ANN models created to predict the sediment yields. The training of the ANN models utilized single storm event data generated for the 17-year period between 1984 and 2000 as the training input data. Training patterns and neural network architectures were varied to further study the ANN performance. Results from these models were compared with the available field data obtained from several debris basins within Los Angeles County. Both predictive models were then applied for hind-casting the sediment prediction of several post 2000 events. Both the statistical and ANN models yield remarkably consistent results when compared with the measured field data. The results show that these models are very useful tools for predicting sediment yield sequences. The results can be used for scheduling cleanout operation of debris basins. It can be of great help in the planning of emergency response for burned areas to minimize the damage to properties and lives.

The governing equations for viscoelasticity, viscopiezoelectricity, and viscopiezo-electromagnetism were implemented for an AT-cut quartz resonator. To simulate the radiation conditions at infinity for the viscopiezoelectromagnetic model, perfectly matched layers over a surface enclosing the resonator were implemented to absorb all incident electromagnetic radiation. The shape of the radiation spectrum of a 5.6 MHz AT-cut quartz resonator was found to compare relatively well the measured results by Campbell and Weber. The mesa-plate resonator was studied for a frequency range of 1.4 GHz to 3.4 GHz. The resonator Q was determined to be influenced predominantly by the quartz viscoelasticity; how- ever at frequencies greater than 2.3 GHz, the quartz electromagnetic radiation had an increasingly significant effect on the resonator Q. At 3.4 GHz, the electromagnetic radiation accounted for about 14% of the loss in resonator Q. At frequencies less than 2 GHz, the calculated resonator Q compared well with the intrinsic Qx provided by the formula Qx = 16 x 106/f where f was in MHz. At frequencies higher than 2.3 GHz, the aluminum electrodes had significant effects on the resonator Q. At 3.4 GHz, the electromagnetic radiation loss in the electrodes was an order of magnitude greater than their viscoelastic loss; hence, the vibrating aluminum electrodes became an efficient emitter of electromagnetic waves. The effects of electrical resistance in both the electrodes and quartz were determined to be negligible.

The reaction was found to be first order in both the diketone and aniline. Product regioselectivity and reaction rates were found to be influenced by substituents on the diketones and anilines with rates varying as much as five fold. The consumption rate of key imine and enamine intermediates mirrored quinoline formation rates, in accord with rate determining annulation. A ρ of -0.32 was determined for this cyclization. While the sign of the reaction constant is consistent with rate limiting electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS), the magnitude is likely a composite value, resulting from opposing substituent effects in the nucleophilic addition and EAS steps. Mechanistic details and reaction pathways supporting these findings are proposed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

T1 - Hantaan Virus Nucleocapsid Protein Binds to Importin α Proteins and Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha-Induced Activation of Nuclear Factor Kappa B. JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2009/02// VL - 83 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1271 EP - 1279 SN - 0022538X AB - Hantaviruses such as Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Andes virus cause two human diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, respectively. For both, disease pathogenesis is thought to be immunologically mediated and there have been numerous reports of patients with elevated levels of proinflammatory and inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), in their sera. Multiple viruses have developed evasion strategies to circumvent the host cell inflammatory process, with one of the most prevalent being the disruption of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation. We hypothesized that hantaviruses might also moderate host inflammation by interfering with this pathway. We report here that the nucleocapsid (N) protein of HTNV was able to inhibit TNF-α-induced activation of NF-κB, as measured by a reporter assay, and the activation of endogenous p65, an NF-κB subunit. Surprisingly, there was no defect in the degradation of the inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB) protein, nor was there any alteration in the level of p65 expression in HTNV N-expressing cells. However, immunofluorescence antibody staining demonstrated that cells expressing HTNV N protein and a green fluorescent protein-p65 fusion had limited p65 nuclear translocation. Furthermore, we were able to detect an interaction between HTNV N protein and importin , a nuclear import molecule responsible for shuttling NF-κB to the nucleus. Collectively, our data suggest that HTNV N protein can sequester NF-κB in the cytoplasm, thus inhibiting NF-κB activity. These findings, which were obtained using cells transfected with cDNA representing the HTNV N gene, were confirmed using HTNV-infected cells.

Implementation currently waits for similar and current research concerning drill sergeants. Previously, the Army assigned successful noncommissioned officers (NCOs), regardless of inherent sales and marketing skills, into the recruiting force. The Army learned skills that make a successful combat leader do not always translate well into recruiting duty. This research began in 2001, after recruiting shortages, when the Army began researching recruiter selection methods. The result is an application that combines statistical learning with industrial and organizational (IO) psychology. The resulting selection model determines the better NCOs for service as detailed recruiters in the United States Army Recruiting Command, a 6000 plus sales force located worldwide. The application enhances IO psychology by providing a statistical prediction of job performance derived from psychological inventories and biographical data. The application uses a combination of statistical learning, variable selection methods, and IO psychology to determine the better prediction function approximation with variables obtained from the noncommissioned officer leadership skills inventory (NLSI) and biographical data. The application also creates a methodology for iteratively developing a statistical learning model. We learned that random forest models outperformed support vector regressions and stepwise regression for these data. A greedy algorithm enhanced model generalization by selecting a good subset of prediction variables. The model represents a multimodal relationship primarily between recruiter age, NLSI score, and, to a lesser degree, 34 other variables. The resulting model runs in R s- - tatistical language and is controlled within an Excel worksheet environment by using Visual Basic Application language and RExcel. The end product enables general utilization of a statistically elegant model, normally reserved for advanced researchers, engineers, statisticians, and economists.

In most cases, impedance spectrum of a Li/CF x cell shows a suppressed semicircle followed by a sloping straight line. The semicircle is shown to present a cell reaction resistance (R cr), which reflects an ohmic resistance (mainly, ionic conductivity of the discharge product shell) and a charge-transfer process. It is shown that the overall resistance of a Li/CF x cell is dominated by the CF x cathode, whose resistance is further dominated by the R cr that is found to be extremely sensitive to the temperature. Therefore, the low temperature performance and rate capability of a Li/CF x cell are mainly determined by the CF x cathode. In addition, based on the discharge curve and open circuit voltage (OCV) recovery of a Li/CF x cell, we proposed a “core-shell” model consisting of a shrinking “CF x core” and a growing “product shell” for the discharge process of CF x cathode. The “product shell” plays an important role in the discharge performance of Li/CF x cells.

Such systems commonly comprise open-water channels (or reservoirs) linked to pressurized conduits (pump-lines, penstocks, siphons, and tunnels) that pass water down, up, over, or through steep terrain. The discussion addresses fundamental aspects of frazil formation and behavior in flows undergoing substantial pressure changes. An important consideration for such flows is that increased pressure depresses the freezing temperature of water. As flow pressure subsequently decreases (e.g., on passing through a turbine, or rising up a pump-line), water may become supercooled and prone to form frazil. The melting of ice entering a pressurized conduit (e.g., a penstock) can cool water flowing through the conduit. Such cooling may occur even when there is no heat loss through the conduit''s wall. It is well known that water-conveyance systems in cold regions are prone to significant frazil-blockage problems at entrance trash-racks. Less well known, however, are that some pressurized conduits also are at risk of accumulating frazil within themselves, and others may disgorge bolus accumulations of frazil, possibly mixed with other ice, that then create blockage problems at a downstream section. Several case-studies are used to illustrate situations where frazil has posed problems for penstocks, siphons, and tunnels in mountainous regions.

Since its construction in 1906, several hundred thousand tonnes of metal-contaminated sediment from upstream mining activities, primarily copper, have accumulated in the dam impoundment. A large amount of this sediment was scoured during a 1996 ice jam event on Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers and transported downstream. The EPA remediation plan calls for phased removal and off-site disposal of much of the contaminated sediment, and removal of the Milltown Dam and a smaller mill dam upstream on the Blackfoot River. As much as possible, the river channels will be restored to their pre-project natural morphology. This study assessed ice impacts associated with the restoration plan, specifically where ice jams and related ice jam scour might occur with and without the dams in place. Also addressed was the effect of dam removal on potential ice-related scour around the piers of five bridges that cross the Blackfoot River just upstream of the Milltown Dam. Because this type of problem is relatively new, relevant engineering guidelines are lacking. Shortcomings of the tools and methods used are discussed. It is hoped that the study described herein will assist those addressing similar problems in the future, and also point to areas where analysis methods and tools could be improved.

The various redox species of environmentally relevant metals can have vastly different biogeochemical properties, including sorption, solubility, bioavailability, and toxicity. The use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to elemental specific detectors, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP–MS), has become one of the most important speciation methods employed. This is due to the separation versatility of HPLC and the sensitive and selective detection capabilities of ICP–MS. The current study compares standard mode ICP–MS to recently developed reaction cell (RC) ICP–MS, which has the ability to remove or reduce many common polyatomic interferences that can limit the ability of ICP–MS to quantitate certain analytes in complex matrices. Determination of chromium and selenium redox species is achieved using ion-exchange chromatography with elemental detection by standard and RC–ICP–MS, using various chromium and selenium isotopes. In this study, method performance and detection limits for the various permutations of the method (isotope monitored or ICP–MS detection mode) were found to be comparable and generally less than 1μgL−1. The method was tested on synthetic laboratory samples, surface water, groundwater, and municipal tap water matrices.

Development of next generation ceramics is critical to offering enhanced protection capability and extended service performance for future armoured windows to the soldier. Due to the high cost of testing transparent ceramics, a modelling approach has been undertaken in parallel with ballistic testing to validate armour designs based on a transparent magnesium aluminate spinel, MgAl2O4, striking-ply backed by polycarbonate. A key purpose is to characterize the influence of defects on the failure of laminates, both statically and dynamically tested. Finite element modelling is used to predict unsuccessful designs and reduce number of laminate configurations in experimental testing. A notional ceramic armour system based on spinel/polycarbonate assemblies is used to report results on the effect of surface and interior, equal area defects on the ballistic behavior of a laminates.

At about the same time there was much increased interest in oxynitrides, stimulated by Professor K. Jack in the UK and Y. Oyama in Japan. Following these activities a major research program in this area was initiated at the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1974. These efforts resulted in the first complete Al2O3–AlN phase equilibrium diagram and a process to reactively sinter to nearly full density, translucent aluminum oxynitride spinel ceramic, which was named AlON. Subsequently, the Raytheon Company further developed AlON into a highly transparent material (ALON™) with many applications including transparent armor and EM domes and windows, among others—the technology was recently transferred to the Surmet Corporation. This paper will review the early history, phase equilibrium, crystal chemistry, and properties of this material, along with more recent work in our laboratory on transient liquid phase sintering and new data on lattice parameter measurements. In addition, recent results of collaborative work on AlON''s dynamic mechanical properties using plate impact, Kolsky bar and edge-on impact (EoI) experimental techniques, including preliminary modeling at the microstructural scale of AlON in the EoI test, will be presented.

The dispersed UV-LIF spectra are measured by a 32-anode PMT detector with spectral coverage from 280-600 nm. The PFS represents a significant improvement over our previous apparatus [Pinnick et al., Atmos. Environ. 2004, 38, 1657] and can (1) measure fluorescence spectra of bacterial particles having light-scattering sizes as small as 1 urn (previously limited to about 3 μm) and so can measure particles with size in the range of 1-10 μm, (2) measure each particle's elastic scattering which can be used to estimate particle size (not available previously), (3) measure single-particle fluorescence spectra with a laser and detector that can record spectra as fast as 90,000/s, although the highest rates we have found experimentally in atmospheric measurements is only several hundred per second (previously limited by detectors to only 25/s), and (4) provide a time stamp for a data block of spectra with time resolution from 10 ms to 10 mm. In addition, the PFS has been modified to be more robust, transportable, and smaller. The use of an aerodynamic-focusing sheath inlet nozzle assembly has improved the sample rate. The PFS has been employed to measure UV-LIF spectra from individual atmospheric particles during October-December 2006 and January-May 2008 in New Haven, CT, and during January-May 2007 in Las Cruces, NM.

The rotors are fiber reinforced in the circumferential direction to resist centripetal loads resulting from high-speed rotation. A press-fit process is also used to induce precompression in the radial direction that improves mechanical strength by preventing radial separation of rotors. However, this design and fabrication process leaves the radial and axial directions of rotor vulnerable to propagation of fatigue crack growth in the rotor. A semiempirical approach is proposed to enhance the "crack growth" resistance of the rotor. Axial glass plies are incorporated to confine the crack growth through the radius and along the circumferential direction of rotor. The fracture properties of specific hybrid laminates are then measured to provide information required for an optimal rotor design.

Silicon SGTOs (3.5 cm²) were pulsed at 5 kA with a half-sine current waveform measuring 1 ms at the base. The recovery time, or Tq, of the devices was evaluated from the point at which the main current pulse fell to zero. Using a driver designed to provide both turn-on and turn-off signals, the Tq was reduced to 10 μs. Smaller silicon carbide SGTOs (0.16 cm²) were similarly evaluated for wide-pulse performance. They were switched several times at a peak current above 300 A, with an unassisted Tq time of 30 μs. This paper provides details of the aforementioned pulse switching as well as a description of continuing evaluations involving parallel devices and larger test beds.

Prior investigations have inferred the sublimation rate from energy, isotopic, or mass-balance calculations using field data. Consequently, these studies were unable to control many of the environmental parameters which determine sublimation rate (e.g. temperature, relative humidity, snow microstructure). We present sublimation rate measurements on snow samples in the laboratory, where we have controlled many of these parameters simultaneously. Results show that the air stream exiting the snow sample is typically saturated under a wide range of sample temperature and air-flow rate, within measurement precision. This result supports theoretical work on single ice grains which found that there is no energy barrier to be overcome during sublimation, and suggests that snow sublimation is limited by vapor diffusion into pore spaces, rather than sublimation at crystal faces. Undersaturation may be possible in large pore spaces (i.e. surface- or depth-hoar layers) with relatively high air-flow rates. We use these data to place bounds on the mass-transfer coefficient for snow as a linear function of Reynolds number, and find that h m =0.566 Re +0.075.

Several quantum mechanically based or empirical approaches to calculate either the heat of formation of the ionic constituents in the gas phase (ΔH°f(g)) or the lattice enthalpy (ΔHLattice°) were evaluated. Solid phase heats of formation calculated from combinations of ΔH°f(g)and ΔHLattice°determined through various approaches are compared with experimental values for a series of molecular energetic salts with 1:1, 2:1 and 2:2 charge ratios. Recommendations for combinations of ΔH°f(g)and ΔHLattice°to produce best agreement with experiment are given, along with suggestions for improvements of the methods.

Analysis of the data indicates that awakening from blast noise is significantly less likely during the time period between midnight and 0200 h compared to time periods before midnight and approaching dawn. These findings suggest that postponing noisy evening training until after midnight could effectively reduce the negative impact of nighttime training on local residents and thus help to preserve nighttime training capabilities.

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that detects internal attacks by using both message and route redundancy during route discovery. The route-discovery messages are protected by pairwise secret keys between a source and destination and some intermediate nodes along a route established by using public key cryptographic mechanisms. We also propose an optimal routing algorithm with routing metric combining both requirements on a node's trustworthiness and performance. A node builds up the trustworthiness on its neighboring nodes based on its observations on the behaviors of the neighbor nodes. Both of the proposed algorithms can be integrated into existing routing protocols for MANETs, such as ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) and dynamic source routing (DSR). As an example, we present such an integrated protocol called secure routing against collusion (SRAC), in which a node makes a routing decision based on its trust of its neighboring nodes and the performance provided by them. The simulation results have demonstrated the significant advantages of the proposed attack detection and routing algorithm over some known protocols.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 58 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 367 EP - 380 SN - 00189545 AB - Wireless platforms are becoming less expensive and more powerful, enabling the promise of widespread use for every- thing from health monitoring to military sensing. Like other networks, sensor networks are vulnerable to malicious attack. However, the hardware simplicity of these devices makes defense mechanisms designed for traditional networks infeasible. This paper explores the denial-of-sleep attack, in which a sensor node's power supply is targeted. Attacks of this type can reduce the sensor lifetime from years to days and have a devastating impact on a sensor network. This paper classifies sensor network denial-of-sleep attacks in terms of an attacker's knowledge of the medium access control (MAC) layer protocol and ability to bypass authentication and encryption protocols. Attacks from each classification are then modeled to show the impacts on four sensor network MAC protocols, i.e., Sensor MAC (S-MAC), Timeout MAC (T-MAC), Berkeley MAC (B-MAC), and Gateway MAC (G-MAC). Implementations of selected attacks on S-MAC, T-MAC, and B-MAC are described and analyzed in detail to validate their effectiveness and analyze their efficiency. Our analysis shows that the most efficient attack on S-MAC can keep a cluster of nodes awake 100% of the time by an attacker that sleeps 99% of the time. Attacks on T-MAC can keep victims awake 100% of the time while the attacker sleeps 92% of the time. A framework for preventing denial-of-sleep attacks in sensor networks is also introduced. With full protocol knowledge and an ability to penetrate link-layer encryption, all wireless sensor network MAC protocols are susceptible to a full domination attack, which reduces the network lifetime to the mini- mum possible by maximizing the power consumption of the nodes' radio subsystem. Even without the ability to penetrate encryption, subtle attacks can be launched, which reduce the network lifetime by orders of magnitude. If sensor networks are to meet current expectations, they must be robust in the face of network attacks to include denial-of-sleep.

A total of 38 individuals enrolled in the study had subsequent serological confirmation of HFRS. Four of the 38 individuals received three or fewer doses of ribavirin and were excluded from treatment analysis. Of the remaining 34 individuals, oliguria was present in one individual at treatment initiation; none of the remaining 33 subjects developed oliguria or required dialysis. The mean peak serum creatinine was 3.46mg/dl and occurred on day 2 of ribavirin therapy. Both the peak serum creatinine and the onset of polyuria occurred on mean day 6.8 of illness. Reversible hemolytic anemia was the main adverse event of ribavirin, with a ≥25% decrease in hematocrit observed in 26/34 (76.5%) individuals. While inability to adjust for all baseline variables prevents comparison to historical cohorts in Korea where oliguria has been reported in 39–69% cases and dialysis required in approximately 40% HFRS cases caused by Hantaan virus, the occurrence of 3% oliguria and 0% dialysis requirement in the treatment cohort is supportive of a previous placebo-controlled HFRS trial in China where IV ribavirin given early resulted in decreased occurrence of oliguria and decreased severity of renal insufficiency.

JO - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene JF - Journal of Occupational & Environmental Hygiene Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 52 EP - 61 SN - 15459624 AB - This study investigated the effect of high flow conditions on aerosol penetration and the relationship between penetration at constant and cyclic flow conditions. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators and cartridges were challenged with inert solid and oil aerosols. A combination of monodisperse aerosol and size-specific aerosol measurement equipment allowed count-based penetration measurement of particles with nominal diameters ranging from 0.02 to 2.9 μm. Three constant flow conditions (85, 270, and 360 L/min) were selected to match the minute, inhalation mean, and inhalation peak flows of the four cyclic flow conditions (40, 85, 115, and 135 L/min) tested. As expected, penetration was found to increase under increased constant and cyclic flow conditions. The most penetrating particle size (MPPS) generally ranged from 0.05 to 0.2 μm for P100 filters and was approximately 0.05 μm for N95 filters. Although penetration increased at the high flow conditions, the MPPS was relatively unaffected by flow. Of the constant flows tested, the flows equivalent to cyclic inhalation mean and peak flows best approximated the penetration measurements of the corresponding cyclic flows.

JO - Experimental Brain Research JF - Experimental Brain Research Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 192 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 145 EP - 148 SN - 00144819 AB - Spatial perception is sensitive to the energetic costs required to perform intended actions. For example, hills look steeper to people who are fatigued or burdened by a heavy load. Similarly, perceived distance is also influenced by the energy required to walk or throw to a target. Such experiments demonstrate that perception is a function, not just of optical information, but also of the perceiver’s potential to act and the energetic costs associated with the intended action. In the current paper, we expand on the notion of “cost” by examining perceived distance in patients diagnosed with chronic pain, a multifactorial disease, which is experienced while walking. We found that chronic pain patients perceive target distances to be farther away compared with a control group. These results indicate the physical, and perhaps emotional, costs of chronic pain affect spatial perceptions.

JO - Stochastic Environmental Research & Risk Assessment JF - Stochastic Environmental Research & Risk Assessment Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 23 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 9 EP - 12 SN - 14363240 AB - A common statistical problem is deciding which of two possible sources, A and B, of a contaminant is most likely the actual source. The situation considered here, based on an actual problem of polychlorinated biphenyl contamination discussed below, is one in which the data strongly supports the hypothesis that source A is responsible. The problem approach here is twofold: One, accurately estimating this extreme probability. Two, since the statistics involved will be used in a legal setting, estimating the extreme probability in such a way as to be as generous as is possible toward the defendant’s claim that the other site B could be responsible; thereby leaving little room for argument when this assertion is shown to be highly unlikely. The statistical testing for this problem is modeled by random variables { X i } and the corresponding sample mean $${\bar{X}} = \frac{1}{n}S_{n},\;S_{n} = {\sum\nolimits_{1}^{n} {X_{i}}},$$ the problem considered is providing a bound ɛ for which $$\hbox{Prob} \left({\bar{X}} \geq a_{0} \right) \leq \varepsilon,$$ for a given number a 0. Under the hypothesis that the random variables { X i } satisfy E( X i ) ≤ μ, for some 0 < μ < 1, statistical tests are given, described as “generous”, because ɛ is maximized. The intent is to be able to reject the hypothesis that a 0 is a value of the sample mean while eliminating any possible objections to the model distributions chosen for the { X i } by choosing those distributions which maximize the value of ɛ for the test used.

T1 - Free radical production from the interaction of 2-chloroethyl vesicants (mustard gas) with pyridine nucleotide-driven flavoprotein electron transport systems JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 234 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 128 EP - 134 SN - 0041008X AB - Abstract: The biochemical sequelae to chloroethyl mustard exposure correspond very well to toxic processes initiated by free radicals. Additionally, mustard solutions contain spontaneously formed cyclic onium ions which produce carbon free radicals when reduced electrochemically. Therefore, we hypothesized that the onium ions of sulfur or nitrogen mustards might produce carbon free radicals upon being reduced enzymatically, and that these radicals might constitute a metabolic activation. We set out to document radical production using an in vitro metabolic system and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Our system consisted of NADPH, one of several pyridine nucleotide-driven flavoprotein reductases, cytochrome c as a terminal electron acceptor, various sulfur or nitrogen mustards and the spin trap α-[4-pyridyl-1-oxide]-N-tert-butylnitrone in buffer. Reactions were started by adding the reductase to the other materials, vortexing and immediately transferring the mixture to a 10 mm EPR flat cell. Repeated scans on a Bruker ESP 300E EPR spectrometer produced a triplet of doublets with hyperfine splitting constants of a N =15.483 G and a H =2.512 G. The outcome supported our hypothesis that carbon-centered free radicals are produced when mustard-related onium ions are enzymatically reduced. The EPR results varied little with the chloroethyl compound used or with porcine or human cytochrome P450 reductase, the reductase domain of rat brain neuronal nitric oxide synthase or rat liver thioredoxin reductase. Our results offer new insight into the basis for mustard-induced vesication and the outcome of exposure to different mustards. The free radical model provides an explanation for similarities in the lesions arising from mustard exposure and energy-based lesions such as those from heat, ultraviolet and nuclear radiation as well as damage across tissue types such as skin, eyes or airway epithelium.

This model was developed in terms of total surface renewal rate and gas diffusion coefficient. The total surface renewal rate was considered to be the sum of the surface renewal rates caused by the turbulence from the air-water interface and that from the water-bed interface. A general mixing length formula and a vertical fluctuation velocity formula was developed to formulate the surface renewal rate. Predictions of this model show good agreements with the measurements in previous studies and the predictions of Churchill's, O'Connor-Dobbins', and Owens-Gibbs' formulae. It was indicated in some previous studies that the existing streamflow-driven gas-liquid transfer rate formulae have limited application ranges. The model developed in this study can be applied for all the normal ranges of flow velocity and water depth in natural rivers, which generalizes and simplifies the applications.

Structural equation modeling was used to test the model. Results from both studies suggested that a modified interdependence model provided a plausible explanation for how leaders may earn subordinate trust, through fostering the establishment of cooperative interdependence and being perceived as credible. Credibility was demonstrated through both competence and good character, and organizational structures that were in place contributed to trust by encouraging leaders to behave cooperatively toward group members. Most importantly, the level of trust subordinates had in their leaders determined the amount of leader influence subordinates accepted.

In general, there was good agreement between the predicted properties of Fe(III)-DFO-B and previously published experimental and theoretical results. The predicted fractionation factor for equilibrium between Fe(III)-DFO-B and Fe(III)-catecholate at 22°C, 0.68±0.25‰, was in good agreement with a previously measured isotopic difference between bacterial cells and solution during the bacterial-mediated dissolution of hornblende [Brantley S. L., Liermann L. and Bullen T. D. (2001) Fractionation of Fe isotopes by soil microbes and organic acids. Geology 29, 535–538]. Conceptually, this agreement is consistent with the notion that Fe is first removed from mineral surfaces via complexation with small organic acids (e.g., oxalate), subsequently sequestered by DFO-B in solution, and ultimately delivered to bacterial cells by Fe(III)-DFO-B complexes. The ability of DFO-B to discriminate between Fe(III) and Fe(II)/Al(III) was investigated with Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis and geometry calculations of each metal-DFO-B complex. The results indicated that higher affinity for Fe(III) is not strictly a function of bond length but also the degree of Fe–O covalent bonding.

The plate is assumed to be doubly rotated, specified by angles ø and θ. The stresses are assumed to be uniform and planar. The first-order perturbation integral as developed by Tiersten for frequency shifts in resonators is used. The dependence of frequency shifts on ø and θ is calculated and examined, and loci of stress-compensation are determined.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2009/01// VL - 75 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 39 EP - 44 SN - 00992240 AB - The ability to reliably and reproducibly sample surfaces contaminated with a biological agent is a critical step in measuring the extent of contamination and determining if decontamination steps have been successful. The recovery operations following the 2001 attacks with Bacillus anthracis spores were complicated by the fact that no standard sample collection format or decontamination procedures were established. Recovery efficiencies traditionally have been calculated based upon biological agents which were applied to test surfaces in a liquid format and then allowed to dry prior to sampling tests, which may not be best suited for a real-world event with aerosolized biological agents. In order to ascertain if differences existed between air-dried liquid deposition and biological spores which were allowed to settle on a surface in a dried format, a study was undertaken to determine if differences existed in surface sampling recovery efficiencies for four representative surfaces. Studies were then undertaken to compare sampling efficiencies between liquid spore deposition and aerosolized spores which were allowed to gradually settle under gravity on four different test coupon types. Tests with both types of deposition compared efficiencies of four unique swabbing materials applied to four surfaces with various surface properties. Our studies demonstrate that recovery of liquid-deposited spores differs significantly from recovery of dry aerosol-deposited spores in most instances. Whether the recovery of liquid-deposited spores is overexaggerated or underrepresented with respect to that of aerosol-deposited spores depends upon the surface material being tested.

A combination of X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional microscopy analyses show that Ag segregates to form precipitates with an average size that increases from <25 nm to ~300×300×100 nm3 to ~600×600×200 nm3 for T s =500, 600, and 700 °C, respectively. At high T s, the precipitates extend along the surface plane to form horizontal lamellae that cause grain re-nucleation and, in turn, a disruption of the columnar microstructure and a transition from a strong 002 texture for pure CrN to a mixed preferred orientation for the composite coatings. In addition, Ag segregates to form mounds on the growing layer surface that result in the nucleation of nodules which exhibit an increased growth rate and extend up to 1 and 5 µm above the surface for T s =600 and 700 °C, respectively, but are absent for T s =500 °C. The cross-sectional microhardness increases with T s from 17 to 20 to 24 GPa for T s =500, 600, and 700 °C, respectively, which is attributed to a decrease in the effective Ag concentration associated with temperature-activated segregation. The measured hardness for pure CrN is 28 GPa.

Photo-EPR studies of the sample containing β-PbO, brownish red in color, have shown intense line at g =2.00, and its yield increased when produced in the presence of 7.5kG external magnetic field suggesting the formation of magnetic polaron. This was identified as due to interaction between Fe3+, photoinduced Pb3+ and unpaired electron trapped at oxygen vacancies. The photoinduced growth and decay of magnetic polaron has shown a non-exponential behavior. Photoluminescence (PL) studies were conducted with excitation at 308nm (XeCl laser) and also at 454.5, 488 and 514.5nm using Ar+ laser. The excitation with 308nm gave broad PL centered at 500 and 710nm the latter being quite prominent in β-PbO containing crystals, along with cooperative luminescence at 350nm involving two emitting centers. The excitation with Ar+ laser lines, close to the electronic absorption in samples containing β-PbO gave richer and sharp PL emission in red region from the constituents of the magnetic polaron and also intense anti-Stokes emission on excitation with 514.5nm radiation. This appears to be due to phototransfer optically stimulated luminescence (PT-OSL) involving electron–hole recombination at photoinduced magnetic polaron site.

With the introduction of iron, mixed crystals of NiAl2O4–FeAl2O4 spinel phase are formed, which results in modifications of its structural and electronic properties. The reaction results show a remarkable improvement on durability in catalytic activity as well as selectivity to hydrogen in ATR: over the 10wt.% iron-loading nickel catalyst, conversion of ethanol at 99.61% and selectivity of hydrogen around 115% are kept at 600°C during a 30-h test, while that of iron-free sample decreases sharply from 85.10% to 19.71% on hydrogen selectivity within a 26-h test. The improved durability is attributed to the synergistic effect of the NiAl2O4–FeAl2O4 mixed crystals that are more resistant to sintering and oxidation in the oxidative atmosphere of ATR.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2008/12/15/ VL - 80 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 9622 EP - 9629 SN - 00032700 AB - The superoxide radical anion (SO) is a critical biomarker for monitoring cellular stress responses. Electrochemical SO biosensors are frequently constructed through the covalent immobilization of cytochrome c (Cyt c) onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs); however, a detailed comparison of these systems as well as configuration influence on SO detection is needed to enable robust applications. Two reaction pathways, oxidation of SO by the SAM-modified gold electrode or electron transfer through a protein and monolayer relay, may be involved during the electrochemical detection of SO with Cyt c, depending on the SAM that is used. Although electrodes with SAMs alone can exhibit a high sensitivity and low limit of detection (LOD) for the SO, they can suffer from a strong response to the presence of interferents such as hydrogen peroxide and ascorbic acid. Electrodes with immobilized Cyt c show decreased sensitivity, but exhibit better selectivity and resistance to fouling in complex media. Considering the trade-offs between sensitivity, selectivity, and LOD for SO detection, a bioelectrode made with Cyt c immobilized on dithiobis(succinhnidyl)propionate (DTSP) appears to be the most suitable configuration. In phosphate buffer, the DTSP/Cyt c electrode has a sensitivity of 410 nA μM-1 cm-2 and an LOD for SO of 73 nM. Results are also presented for the detection of SO in a complex tissue culture media (MEM) with and without serum, and the sensitivity of the DTSP/Cyt c in MEM in the absence of serum increased to 640 nA μM-1 cm-2. By measuring SO with a DTSP/Cyt c electrode before and after the addition of a bolus of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, the specificity of the SOD enzyme can be combined with the sensitivity of Cyt c system.

A vaccine based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) seems to be particularly robust as it can also confer protection when administered as a postexposure treatment. While filoviruses are not thought to be transmitted by aerosol in nature the inhalation route is among the most likely portals of entry in the setting of a bioterrorist event. At present, all candidate filoviral vaccines have been evaluated against parenteral challenges but none have been tested against an aerosol exposure. Here, we evaluated our recombinant VSV-based Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) vaccines against aerosol challenge in cynomolgus macaques. All monkeys vaccinated with a VSV vector expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV were completely protected against an aerosol exposure of ZEBOV. Likewise, all monkeys vaccinated with a VSV vector expressing the glycoprotein of MARV were completely protected against an aerosol exposure of MARV. All control animals challenged by the aerosol route with either ZEBOV or MARV succumbed. Interestingly, disease in control animals appeared to progress slower than previously seen in macaques exposed to comparable doses by intramuscular injection.

Photographs of the reactive rods prior to significant impact initiation for three previously performed experiments at impact velocities of 104, 222, and 466m/s have been digitized for comparison with the simulations. Simulations were performed using the Johnson–Cook and PSDam strength models. Parameters for the PSDam model have been previously determined for this PTFE/Al mixture. The results of Instron compression tests and high-rate split Hopkinson bar experiments were used to determine the parameters for the Johnson–Cook model. The Johnson–Cook model produced reasonable agreement with the experimental specimen shape at 104m/s. PSDam produced reasonable agreement at early times for the 222m/s experiment.

The proliferation of such facilities among countries whose support for terrorism and potential possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) constitutes threats to world peace and U.S. Security. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Energy National Laboratories and private sector R&D firms have pursued an aggressive research effort to explore the attributes of high velocity impact penetrators for countering such facilities. The penetration of crustal rocks with metal rods (such as tungsten or steel alloys) at high velocities involves complex wave propagation phenomena within the rod and inelastic response of both the penetrator and target material. In this paper we examine the sensitivity of penetration depth (for a fixed tungsten alloy mass impacting a limestone target) to impactor velocity, strength and geometry. Analyses are based upon a matrix of first principle finite difference calculations using the Sandia CTH (release 7.1) Shock Physics Code. Results indicate that impact velocity, penetrator yield strength and target yield strength strongly influence the penetration depth. Maximum penetration depth is achieved by a delicate trade off between penetrator kinetic energy and penetrator inelastic deformation (erosion). Numerical analyses for the parameter variations exercised in this study (impact velocities 1–3.5km/s and penetrator yield strengths of 1–4GPa) produced penetration depths of a tungsten alloy rod (length 200cm, diameter 20cm) which varied from 5.1m to 28m in a homogeneous limestone target.

Thorough understanding of the response to shock loading in these materials is crucial to the development of new designs. Despite the lack of long range order in amorphous glasses, the structure can be described statistically by the random network model. Changes to the network structure alter the response to shock loading. Results indicate that in fused silica, substitution of boron as a network former does not have a large effect on the shock loading properties while modifying the network with sodium and calcium changes the dynamic response. These initial results suggest the potential of a predictive capability to determine the effects of other network substitutions.

People do this knowing that their property may be flooded, if not totally destroyed, by raging waters and accompanying debris, however, many do not fully understand and appreciate that risk. As a result, each year on average observes increasing property damage, more lives being threatened and increased degradation of floodplain ecological functions. It can be argued that with regard to floodplain development governmental policies are not preventing it, indeed, they may be facilitating it.

To improve estimation of the source coordinates, one should take into account refraction of sound rays due to atmospheric stratification. Using a geometrical acoustics approximation for a stratified moving medium, formulas for the source coordinates are derived that account for sound refraction. The source coordinates are expressed in terms of the direction of sound propagation as measured by the sensor array, its coordinates, and the vertical profiles of temperature and wind velocity. Employing these formulas and typical temperature and wind velocity profiles in the atmosphere, it is shown numerically that sound refraction is important for accurate predictions of the source coordinates. Furthermore, it is shown that the effective sound speed approximation, which is widely used in atmospheric acoustics, fails to correctly predict the source coordinates if the grazing angle of sound propagation is relatively large.

Applied Plasma Technologies has proposed its new highly efficient hybrid-type plasma-assisted system for organic fuel combustion and gasification. The system operates as a multimode multipurpose reactor in a wide range of plasma feedstock gases and turndown ratios. This system also has convenient and simultaneous feeding of several reagents in the reaction zone such as liquid fuels, coal, steam, and air. A special methodology has been developed for such a system in terms of heat balance evaluation and optimization. This methodology considers all existing and possible energy streams, which could influence the system's efficiency. The developed hybrid-type plasma system could be suitable for combustion applications, mobile and autonomous small- to mid-size liquid fuel and coal gasification modules, hydrogen-rich gas generators, waste-processing facilities, and plasma chemical reactors.

The evolution of DENV has had a major impact on their virulence for humans and on the epidemiology of dengue disease around the world. In order to perform disease surveillance and understand DENV evolution and its effects on virus transmission and disease, an efficient and accurate method for genotype identification is required. Phylogenetic analysis of viral gene sequences is the method used most commonly, with envelope (E) gene the most frequently selected target. To determine which gene might be suitable targets for genotyping DENV, phylogenetic analysis was performed on 10 individual coding genes plus the 3′-non-translated region (3′NTR) for 56 geographically divergent DENV strains representing all identified genotypes. These were reflected in eleven maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees. Based on the bootstrap values (over 90%) supporting the major nodes, the best target genes were identified for each serotype: for DENV-1, the sequences of all coding genes except non-structural gene 4A (NS4A), for DENV-2, PrM/M, E, NS1, NS3, NS4A and NS5, for DENV-3, all coding genes and the 3′NTR, and for DENV-4, C, PrM/M, E, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS4A and NS5.

In recent years, however, they have witnessed an unprecedented increase according to several indicators, including number of attacks, number of organizations conducting these attacks, number of countries targeted, and number of victims. Existing explanations, including the occupation and outbidding theses, cannot account for the dramatic increase and spread of suicide attacks. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including analysis of a data set of 1,857 suicide attacks from December 1981 through March 2008, suggests that two interrelated factors have contributed to the "globalization of martyrdom": al-Qaida's evolution into a global terrorist actor and the growing appeal of its guiding ideology, Salafi jihad. As localized patterns of suicide missions have given way to more globalized patterns, states must rethink their counterterrorism strategies. At the same time, because Salafi jihadist groups tend to target Muslims, moderate Muslims and nonviolent Salafists must take the lead in challenging these groups.

These data can be used to define criteria or reference values for environmental management and conducting specific risk assessment. Long-term exposure tests were conducted to evaluate sublethal toxicity and uptake of aged soil-based explosives, with TNT as the main contaminant. In these tests, plants were exposed for 55 d, and biomass and explosives residues were determined. Worms were exposed for 28 and 42 d, and biomass, number, and tissue residues were determined. Biomass of Lolium perenne significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an effective concentration causing a 20% decrease in biomass (EC20) for TNT metabolites of 3.75 mg/kg was calculated. The concentrations of TNT metabolites in shoots and roots were significantly related to concentrations in soil, as were concentrations of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7- tetrazocine (HMX). The mean bioconcentration factors, indicating the potential of a chemical to accumulate in an organism, were 0.9 for TNT metabolites, 71.8 for RDX, and 12.2 for HMX in L. perenne shoots. Biomass of Eisenia fetida adults significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an EC20 for TNT of 3.70 mg/kg was calculated. The TNT, RDX, and HMX levels in E. fetida were below detection.

This literature identifies two types of threat: individual threat and group threat; however, actual arguments tend to focus on only one of the two types of threat. Consequently, there has been no assessment of whether both threats are simultaneously associated with prejudice. This paper uses data from the 1994 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine the relationship between perceptions of individual threat, perceptions of group threat, and opposition to policies aiding blacks. Results from multinomial logits demonstrate that both threats are associated with opposition to race-equalizing policies, suggesting that single-threat theories should be reevaluated and that studies incorporating racial threat should include both types of threat.

Muza, Charles S. Fulco, Beth A. Beidleman, Michael L. Tapia, and Allen Cyerman. Intermittent hypoxic exposure does not improve sleep at 4300 m. High Alt. Med. Biol. 9:281–288, 2008.—The purpose of this study was to determine in sea-level residents if 6 to 7 consecutive days of normobaric intermittent hypoxic exposure (IHE) (hypoxia room: 2-h ambient PO2 90 mmHg sedentary and 1-h ambient PO2 110 mmHg exercising at 80 ± 5 of maximum heart rate) improved sleep quality (awakenings per hour) and quantity at altitude (4300 m). We hypothesized that IHE would improve sleep arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) levels and decrease desaturation events, thereby contributing to improvements in sleep quality and quantity during subsequent exposure to high altitude. Ten sea-level residents (mean ± SE: 22 ± 1 yr, 179 ± 2 cm, 79 ± 3 kg) were assigned to an IHE group and six to a SHAM group (20 ± 0.5 yr, 180 ± 3 cm, 77 ± 4 kg). Sleep quantity, SaO2, and heart rate (HR) were monitored at sea level and during high altitude (i.e., 4300 m in a hypobaric chamber) before pretest (PRE-T) and 60 h after posttest (POST-T) for the last IHE or SHAM treatment. Over the 6 to 7 days of IHE, resting SaO2increased from 75 ± 1 to 81 ± 3 in the IHE group, while the SHAM group remained at 98 ± 1. From PRE-T to POST-T at 4300-m exposure, both the IHE and SHAM groups had significantly higher sleep SaO2, fewer desaturation events per hour, and an increase in the percentage of time asleep while sleeping (sleep percent). The IHE group, but not the SHAM group, had significantly lower sleep HR and a trend to more awakenings during the POST-T 4300-m exposure. These results indicate that although IHE treatment induced significant ventilatory acclimatization, relative to the SHAM group, IHE did not further improve sleep SaO2quality and quantity following rapid ascent to 4300 m. Rather, it is likely that the acquired ventilatory acclimatization was lost in the 60 h between the last IHE session and the POST-T altitude exposure.

Digital signal processing techniques are used to provide robustness against instrumentation drifts and offsets. The economized version of our instrument can detect, with sufficient correlation efficiency, noise signals having power levels as low as 10 fW. The modularity of our design allows one to easily alter the specifications (such as the bandwidth and the sensitivity) by simply replacing individual components.

Because the DSSAT models are written to simulate crop growth and development within a homogenous unit of land, the Apollo DSS has specialized functions to manage running the DSSAT models to simulate and analyze spatially variable land and management. The DSS has modules that allow the user to build model input files for spatial simulations across predefined management zones, calibrate the models to simulate historic spatial yield variability, validate the models for seasons not used for calibration, and estimate the crop response and environmental impacts of nitrogen, plant population, cultivar, and irrigation prescriptions. This paper details the functionality of Apollo, and presents the results of an example application.

Auden's short career in verse drama describes the impossibility of its own objective: the use of ritual to represent a coherent idea of Europe without invoking an objective historical or spiritual tradition. His verse plays, born out of a commitment to drama's ritual origins and potential, offer a useful measure of the difficulty of imagining European cultural cohesion in the inter-war period. Auden's plays employ a host of formal strategies to recreate the conditions of ritual, with some success. Moreover, Auden's plays, especially those written in collaboration with Christopher Isherwood, also wrestle with the problem of European political and cultural atomization. The solutions the plays offer, while often dramatically compelling, ultimately do not move beyond the political limitations and cultural disorders they describe, a shortcoming Auden later came to see in terms of the absence of tradition.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2008/11/27/ VL - 112 IS - 47 M3 - Article SP - 15064 EP - 15073 SN - 15206106 AB - The heat capacity has played a major role in relating microscopic and macroscopic properties of proteins and their disorder−order phase transition of folding. Its calculation by atomistic simulation methods remains a significant challenge due to the complex and dynamic nature of protein structures, their solvent environment, and configurational averaging. To better understand these factors on calculating a protein heat capacity, we provide a comparative analysis of simulation models that differ in their implicit solvent description and force-field resolution. Our model protein system is the src Homology 3 (SH3) domain of α-spectrin, and we report a series of 10 ns replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulations performed at temperatures ranging from 298 to 550 K, starting from the SH3 native structure. We apply the all-atom CHARMM22 force field with different modified analytical generalized Born solvent models (GBSW and GBMV2) and compare these simulation models with the distance-dependent dielectric screening of charge−charge interactions. A further comparison is provided with the united-atom CHARMM19 plus a pairwise GB model. Unfolding−folding transition temperatures of SH3 were estimated from the temperature-dependent profiles of the heat capacity, root-mean-square distance from the native structure, and the fraction of native contacts, each calculated from the density of states by using the weighted histogram analysis method. We observed that, for CHARMM22, the unfolding transition and energy probability density were quite sensitive to the implicit solvent description, in particular, the treatment of the protein−solvent dielectric boundary in GB models and their surface-area-based hydrophobic term. Among the solvent models tested, the calculated melting temperature varied in the range 353−438 K and was higher than the experimental value near 340 K. A reformulated GBMV2 model of employing a smoother molecular-volume dielectric interface was the most accurate in reproducing the native conformation and a two-state folding landscape, although the melting transition temperature did not show the smallest deviation from experiment. For the lower-resolution CHARMM19/GB model, the simulations failed to yield a bimodal energy distribution, yet the melting temperature was observed to be a good estimate of higher-resolution simulation models. We also demonstrate that a careful analysis of a relatively long simulation is necessary to avoid trapping in local minima and to find a true thermodynamic transition temperature.

Lewis Military Reservation, Washington. Passive Flux Meters (PFM) and a variation of the Integral Pumping Test (IPT) were used to measure fluxes in ten wells installed along a transect down-gradient of the trichloroethylene (TCE) source zone, and perpendicular to the mean groundwater flow direction. At both sites, groundwater and contaminant fluxes were measured before and after the source-zone treatment. The measured contaminant fluxes (J; ML−2T−1) were integrated across the well transect to estimate contaminant mass discharge (M D; MT−1) from the source zone. Estimated M D before source treatment, based on both PFM and IPT methods, were ~76 g/day for TCE at the Hill AFB site; and ~640 g/day for TCE, and ~206 g/day for cis-dichloroethylene (DCE) at the Ft. Lewis site. TCE flux measurements made 1 year after source treatment at the Hill AFB site decreased to ~5 g/day. On the other hand, increased fluxes of DCE, a degradation byproduct of TCE, in tests subsequent to remediation at the Hill AFB site suggest enhanced microbial degradation after surfactant flooding. At the Ft. Lewis site, TCE mass discharge rates subsequent to remediation decreased to ~3 g/day for TCE and ~3 g/day for DCE ~1.8 years after remediation. At both field sites, PFM and IPT approaches provided comparable results for contaminant mass discharge rates, and show significant reductions (>90%) in TCE mass discharge as a result of DNAPL mass depletion from the source zone.

An important factor in selecting or developing an effective treatment is to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing. This study used a weanling swine burn model and microarray analysis to evaluate the effect of exposure length and sampling times on the transcriptional changes in response to cutaneous bromine injury. Ventral abdominal sites (N =4/treatment group) were exposed to 600μL undiluted bromine for 45s or 8min. At 24h and 7d post-exposure, total RNA from skin samples was isolated, processed, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® Porcine Genome Arrays. Expression analysis revealed that bromine exposure duration appeared to have less effect on the transcript changes than the sampling time. The percent transcripts changed at 24h were similar (30%) whether having a 45s or 8min bromine exposure; percent transcripts changed at 7d were also similar (62%) regardless of exposure length. However, only 13–14% of the transcripts were similar when comparing samples analyzed at 24h and 7d. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed six common biological functions among the top 10 functions of each experimental group, while canonical pathway analysis revealed 11 genes that were commonly shared among 24 significantly altered signaling pathways. Additionally, there were 11 signaling pathways in which there were no commonly shared transcripts. The present study is an initial assessment of the transcriptional responses to cutaneous bromine exposure identifying molecular networks and genes that could serve as targets for developing therapeutics for bromine-induced skin injury.

T1 - Ajulemic acid, a synthetic cannabinoid acid, induces an antiinflammatory profile of eicosanoids in human synovial cells JO - Life Sciences JF - Life Sciences Y1 - 2008/11/07/ VL - 83 IS - 19/20 M3 - Article SP - 666 EP - 670 SN - 00243205 AB - Abstract: Aims: To better understand mechanisms whereby Ajulemic acid (AjA), a synthetic antiinflammatory cannabinoid, promotes resolution of acute and chronic inflammation in animal models, we investigated its influence on cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression and eicosanoid production in human fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS). Main methods: FLS isolated from tissue obtained at joint replacement surgery or cultured from synovial fluid were treated for 60 min with AjA (10–30 μM), then stimulated with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). COX2 mRNA was measured by hybridization/colorimetric assay of whole cell lysates collected 4 h after stimulation. To determine effects on arachidonic acid release, FLS were incubated with 14C-arachidonic acid for 20 h then treated with AjA (8–32 μM). Arachidonic acid release was measured by scintillation counting. Prostaglandins (PG) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in cell supernatants collected 4 and 24 h after stimulation. Key findings: AjA increased the steady state levels of COX2 mRNA in and arachidonic acid release from FLS. Treatment of FLS with AjA increased 15-deoxy-delta12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2) production in a concentration dependent manner, but did not affect PGE2 production significantly. Significance: The capacity of AjA to increase selectively and markedly 15d-PGJ2, an eicosanoid which facilitates resolution of inflammation, suggests that AjA may have value as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other diseases characterized by acute and chronic inflammation.

Didymium oxide is used as a wavelength standard. The observed periodic spatial distortion in the wavelength abscissa of the hypercube is removed automatically through statistical modeling and the calibration of the wavelength abscissa is determined using a numerical method. The performance and cost of this algorithm in removing the spatial distortion are assessed quantitatively.

The binding mechanisms involving adsorption and the cation-exchange process have also been investigated. Characterization of biosorbent through a scanning electron microscope revealed no major surface deformity resulting from the chemical treatment. X-ray photo electron spectroscopy was also used to determine the presence of exchangeable cations in the sorbent and the speciation of bound chromium, cadmium, and mercury. The maximum sorption capacity (millimoles/gram) obtained from the Langmuir model for Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ were 0.286, 0.147, 0.226, 0.181, 0.196, 0.189, 0.219, and 0.248, respectively. Interpretation of Dahlquist (1978) and Scatchard (1949) was also used for the binding site heterogeneity. The unique ability of the biosorbent to bind nine different metals has been attributed to the presence of surface heterogeneity and Ca2+ ions, which attract and sequester metal ions. Biosorption results are useful for the development of low-cost biosorbent.

In agencies that are responsible for health risk decision-making, data (and/or opinions/judgments) are obtained from sources such as scientific literature, analytical and process measurements, expert elicitation, inspection findings, and public and private research institutions. Although the particulars of conducting health risk assessments of given disciplines may be dramatically different, a common concern is the subjective nature of judging data utility. Often risk assessors are limited to available data that may not be completely appropriate to address the question being asked. Data utility refers to the ability of available data to support a risk-based decision for a particular risk assessment. This article familiarizes the audience with the concept of data utility and is intended to raise the awareness of data collectors (e.g., researchers), risk assessors, and risk managers to data utility issues in health risk assessments so data collection and use will be improved. In order to emphasize the cross-cutting nature of data utility, the discussion has not been organized into a classical partitioning of risk assessment concerns as being either human health- or ecological health-oriented, as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Program.

The sensor has become a part of the Integrated Soil Physical Properties Mapping System (ISPPMS), which also includes an optical reflectance and a capacitor-based sensor implemented to determine spatial variability in soil organic mater and water content, respectively. The instrumented blade of the ISPPMS was validated in laboratory conditions by applying known loads. It was also tested in the field by comparing sensor-based estimates with measurements produced using a standard vertical cone penetrometer and another on-the-go sensor, the Soil Strength Profile Sensor (SSPS), consisting of five prismatic-tip horizontal penetrometers located at fixed depths. The comparison resulted in reasonable linear relationships between corresponding parameters determined using the three different methods. The coefficient of determination (r²) for average soil mechanical resistance was 0.32 and 0.57 when ISPPMS-based estimates were compared with the standard cone penetrometer and the alternative on-the-go sensor (SSPS), respectively. Depth gradients of soil mechanical resistance obtained using cone penetrometer and ISPPMS methods were correlated with r² = 0.33. Observed differences in estimated parameters were due in part to the difficulties with obtaining data representing the same depths and in part to differences in sensor geometry and operating conditions, particularly when comparing the on-the-go sensors to the cone penetrometer. Based on its operation during Missouri field mapping, the instrumented blade proved to be a rugged and inexpensive sensor suitable for studying the spatial variability of the physical state of soils in the upper 30 cm of the profile.

Field tests to assess terrain disturbance during turning maneuvers were completed on dry and wet, grassy fields and slopes in northern Vermont. The vehicle tests consisted of a series of spiral maneuvers at two speeds, and serpentine maneuvers on slopes, to comprise a range of turning radii, upslope and downslope turns, and velocity. The CRREL instrumented vehicle (CIV) and a military high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) were instrumented to measure linear accelerations, angular and linear velocity, wheel forces, speeds, and location. The terrain was fully characterized for soil type, wetness, shear strength, and vegetation cover prior to testing. The disturbance created by the vehicle was measured using the cumulative impact width method based on disturbed width and impact severity. Results show increased disturbance for the wetter soil, but generally the impacts were low because of sufficient terrain strength for these two vehicles. Nonetheless, correlations were found between the measured horizontal forces, accelerations and yaw rates, and the terrain disturbance; most significantly, increased lateral tire-terrain interface forces resulted in increased cumulative impact width. Additionally, the vehicle lateral force, accerlation, and yaw rate that were directly measured are comparable with those calculated from the global positioning system (GPS) data, illustrating the potential of the much simpler measurements for this purpose.

The deadband effect on the steady-state and transient commutating process are analyzed. The current variations caused by phase-shift errors at the boundary conditions are simulated and validated through experiments. The concept of "energy deadband" is introduced to describe those specific transients where no energy flows from source to load or load to source. A set of strategies are proposed to increase the system robustness. Simulation and experiments on a 200-V/400-V, 6-kW dc-dc converter prototype validated these strategies.

The ceramics were hot pressed at temperatures from 1950 to 2100°C to ∼97% relative density. For both materials, the matrix (90:10vol% SiC:AlN) had a grain size of ∼0.4μm, and the BN grains (10vol%) were crystallographically aligned. Microhardness values were between 20 and 22GPa, while fracture toughness values were between 2.5 and 3.1MPam1/2. Other properties were found to be dependent on testing direction. Elastic moduli were between 260 and 300GPa and strengths were ∼630MPa for small particle BN additions. Thermal conductivity was calculated to be between 25 and 37W/mK at room temperature and 17 and 25W/mK at 900°C. The low values compared to traditional SiC ceramics were attributed to AlN–SiC solid solution formation and sub-micron matrix grain sizes.

A revised method (USEPA Method 8330B) for explosives that uses MIS was announced in the fall of 2006, but similar guidance has not been reported for testing metals in soils. Questions have been raised as how to prepare representative analytical samples for metals determination from field composites. Three different grinding procedures were used in this study for three soil types to determine if grinding (relative to homogenizing soil without grinding) increases metal concentrations and decreases variability. The performance of these procedures was demonstrated via the analysis of replicates (n =16 for two soil types) using statistical evaluations that included calculations of various descriptive statistics (e.g., medians, means and standard deviations), Kruskal–Wallis (KW) tests for the medians and two tests for the variances (Bartlett''s and Levene''s test). There was a slight increase in concentrations for several of the metals in the clay loam soil after grinding, although the increases were a small percentage of the concentrations measured. The standard deviations (and variances) for replicate digestions and analyses generally decreased, although anomalies were observed. The grinding methods increased precision overall, however, the data indicated that the roller mill grinding was not as effective as the other grinding methods tested.

Metal hydride alloys offer one potential solution. However, for metal hydride tanks to become a viable hydrogen storage option, the dynamic performance of practical tank geometries and configurations must be understood and incorporated into fuel cell system analyses. A dynamic, axially-symmetric, multi-nodal metal hydride tank model has been created in Matlab–Simulink® as an initial means of providing insight and analysis capabilities for the dynamic performance of commercially available metal hydride systems. Following the original work of Mayer et al. [Mayer U, Groll M, Supper W. Heat and mass transfer in metal hydride reaction beds: experimental and theoretical results. Journal of the Less-Common Metals 1987;131:235–44], this model employs first principles heat transfer and fluid flow mechanisms together with empirically derived reaction kinetics. Energy and mass balances are solved in cylindrical polar coordinates for a cylindrically shaped tank. The model tank temperature, heat release, and storage volume have been correlated to an actual metal hydride tank for static and transient absorption and desorption processes. A sensitivity analysis of the model was accomplished to identify governing physics and to identify techniques to lessen the computational burden for ease of use in a larger system model. The sensitivity analysis reveals the basis and justification for model simplifications that are selected. Results show that the detailed and simplified models both well predict observed stand-alone metal hydride tank dynamics, and an example of a reversible fuel cell system model incorporating each tank demonstrates the need for model simplification.

The fabrication process for the shock sensor, which includes wafer-level vacuum packaging, is detailed along with the design features. These features include a reset actuator for reuse of the sensor, a no-power operation scheme when the reset actuator is not activated, and a control circuit to minimize power used to unlatch the sensor. In order to describe the shock-sensor dynamics and interaction with the latch mechanism, a preliminary non-linear model has been developed. Experimental results are presented and compared with model predictions.

Articles represent nine countries—Canada, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, the United States. We begin with a brief history of sociology and the military and growth of military sociology as a subfield, followed by the development of military academies in general and sociology at military academies more specifically. The essay concludes with six trends found across the nine nations and ten academies—the stigma of sociology; the cannibalization of sociology courses; co-optation of sociological concepts; charismatic leadership; radical social change; and revitalization.

We begin by introducing a class of matrix-valued RBFs which can be used to construct interpolants that are curl-free. Next, we offer a characterization of the native space for divergence-free and curl-free kernels based on the Fourier transform. Finally, we investigate the stability of the interpolation matrix for both the divergence-free and curl-free cases, and when the kernel has finite smoothness we obtain sharp estimates.

The effects of temperature on the evolution of soot precursors were observed just prior and subsequent to soot onset. Liquid ethylbenzene was prevaporized in nitrogen and blended with an oxygen–nitrogen mixture and, upon ignition, premixed flat flames were stabilized over a burner at atmospheric pressure. Three flames at the same fuel-to-air equivalence ratio () but with different temperature profiles were obtained by regulating the total heat loss from the flame to the burner, as a result of altering the cold gas velocity of the reacting gases through the burner. A 100-K spread was detected among the three flame temperature profiles. The coolest flame was slightly sooting, the intermediate temperature flame was at the visible onset of sooting, and the hottest flame was not sooting. Combustion products were sampled at various heights in these flames. CO and CO2 mole fractions were found to increase with temperature, supporting the hypothesis that with increasing temperature the rate of oxidation reactions increases faster than the rate of soot formation reactions. Again supporting the same hypothesis, the mole fractions of at least some of the suspected soot precursor hydrocarbons decreased with increasing temperature. Similarly, both the number and the concentrations of detected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and oxygenated aromatic hydrocarbons were highest in the slightly sooting, i.e., the coolest flame. This flame also had the highest condensed phase/gaseous phase PAH ratio among the three flames. However, whereas in all three flames the mole fractions of PAH were disparate in the broad neighborhood of the flame zone, they converged to similar values in the postflame zone at 7 mm height from the surface of the burner. Experimentally obtained mole fractions of effluent species were compared with predictions from a detailed kinetic model.

We demonstrate stable and continuous ejection for more than 10 minutes of 14-μ m droplets containing 1-μ m polystyrene latex (PSL) particles at a concentration of 1% solids. There was no indication of clogging. We have demonstrated ejection of droplets containing PSL at rates up to 3,000 droplets/s (90,000 1-μ m-PSL particles/s). This method should produce, at a known rate, (1) uniform particles of known volume when the particles are soluble in the liquid and/or (2) particles with a statistical distribution (e.g., Poisson distribution) when the particles are aggregates of primary particles. The method should be useful for aerosol generation systems requiring no volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Of these chemicals, only GA exhibits any significant pre-resonance enhancement. We also show that reduction of the excitation wavelength from 262 nm to 248 nm effectively shifts the Raman spectrum away from a substantial sample fluorescence background, implying a significant improvement in detection capability.

Its near universal applicability coupled with its pinpoint accuracy for suppressing target proteins has altered the landscape of many fields. While there is considerable intellectual investment in therapeutics, its potential extends far beyond. In this review, we explore some of these emerging applications—metabolic engineering for enhancing recombinant protein production in both insect and mammalian cell systems, antisense technologies in bacteria as next generation antibiotics, and RNAi in plant biotechnology for improving productivity and nutritional value.

JO - Journal of Democracy JF - Journal of Democracy Y1 - 2008/10// VL - 19 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 5 EP - 15 SN - 10455736 AB - The article discusses the implications that Pakistan's February 2008 national elections had for the future of the country. They were precipitated by the rise of political parties that opposed Pervez Musharraf, the military ruler who usurped the presidency in 1999. The election process agreed upon was democratic in nature, with presidential balloting presided over by an electoral college.

It has been demonstrated that the efficacy of an oxime primarily depends on its ability to reactivate nerve agent-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE). If the in vitro oxime reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited animal AChE is similar to that of human AChE, it is likely that the results of an in vivo animal study will reliably extrapolate to humans. Therefore, the goal of this study was to compare the aging and reactivation of human and different monkey (Rhesus, Cynomolgus, and African Green) AChEs inhibited by GF, GD, and VR. The oximes examined include the traditional oxime 2-PAM, two H-oximes HI-6 and HLo-7, and the new candidate oxime MMB4. Results indicate that oxime reactivation of all three monkey AChEs was very similar to human AChE. The maximum difference in the second-order reactivation rate constant between human and three monkey AChEs or between AChEs from different monkey species was 5-fold. Aging rate constants of GF-, GD-, and VR-inhibited monkey AChEs were very similar to human AChE except for GF-inhibited monkey AChEs, which aged 2–3 times faster than the human enzyme. The results of this study suggest that all three monkey species are suitable animal models for nerve agent antidote evaluation since monkey AChEs possess similar biochemical/pharmacological properties to human AChE.

The model species is Vallisneria americana (American wildcelery) and the model name is VALLA. The model describes major, carbon flow-based ecophysiological processes and biomass dynamics of a common plant species. The model contains unique descriptions of: (1) species-characteristic vertical distribution of shoot biomass in the water column, that enables the calculation of the fraction of irradiance actually available for absorption by the SAV; (2) recalculation procedures of this vertical distribution with daily changes in water level and/or shoot mass removal at various levels within the water column, that enables the evaluation of regrowth potential; (3) species-characteristic effects of current velocity on photosynthesis, that enables the evaluation of the effects of hydraulic water body alterations; and (4) relationships of plant process parameters with site-specific climate, that enables the evaluation of effects of different climates. Generally, a good fit was found between simulated and measured biomass in the field. Sensitivity analysis showed that the model is very sensitive to changes in process parameters influencing carbon flow.

It is observed that rolling below the nominal recrystallization temperature 1523K (1250°C) concomitantly enhances the ductility and strength of W. Strain-rate jump tests and stress-relaxation experiments show that low-temperature rolling also renders reduced strain-rate sensitivity and activation volumes associated with the plastic deformation of W. For W samples rolled at 873K (600°C), with a total equivalent strain of ∼2.5 (including a previous rolling strain of 1.7 introduced at 1073K [800°C]), the activation volume for plastic deformation is around 10b 3 (b is the magnitude of the Burgers vector of W). This is in agreement with a double-kink mechanism with the spreading between the kinks controlled by the forest dislocation density. Fractographic observations indicate that the rolled W exhibits a laminar structure. The layer thickness is a function of rolling temperature, rather than a function of rolling strain introduced.

In the United States alone between 250 and 300 million cubic yards of sediment are dredged annually. Dredging activities may cause stress on aquatic biota by locally increasing turbidity and suspended sediment concentrations, physically disturbing habitat by elevated sedimentation rates, interfering in migratory behaviors, and hydraulically entraining bottom dwelling organisms. Environmental windows are a management practice used to alleviate such stresses on resident and transient biota by placing temporal restrictions on the conduct of dredging operations. Adherence to environmental windows can significantly inflate costs for project sponsors and local stakeholders. Since their inception following passage of NEPA in 1969 the process for setting environmental windows has not followed structured procedures and represents an example of the difficulty inherent in achieving a balance between biological resource protection and cost-effective construction and maintenance of navigation infrastructure. Recent developments in the fields of risk assessment for non-chemical stressors as well as experience in implementing structured risk-informed decision-making tools for sediment and natural resource management are summarized in this paper in relation to setting environmental windows. Combining risk assessment and multi-criteria decision analysis allows development of a framework for an objective process consistent with recommendations by the National Academy of Sciences for setting environmental windows. A hypothetical application of the framework for protection of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) in San Francisco Bay is discussed.

The deracemization phenomenon was investigated by laser polarimetry, mass-tagged pseudo-enantiomers in conjunction with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, HPLC/UV-MS, U PLC/UV-MS, rapid-resolution LC-MS, collision-induced dissociation MS/ MS, and numerical simulations. These data were consistent with a phenomenon where (SS)-dimer and (RRRR)-tetramer selectively bind the chiral analyte in preference to their enantiomeric counterparts, which ultimately causes them to be amplified and the library to become deracemized.

As for the secondary purpose, it was to compare the effects of gender on motor learning. Participants (n = 96) were selected from 3 primary schools. These participants were divided into 6 groups and submitted to different experimental conditions. The experimental task required the participants to throw, with the nondominant hand (left hand), a ball toward a target composed of 3 concentric circles. The results demonstrated that performance obtained by the mental imagery (visual or kinesthetic) combined with physical practise group was, during the retention phase, equivalent to that produced by the specific physical practise group but significantly superior during the transfer of closed motor skill. These results showed the potential benefits of mental imagery as a retention strategy intended for motor skills and performance enhancement. Such results could be explained by the similarity of 3 principal functional evidences shared by mental and physical practise: behavioural, central, and peripheral (as suggested by Holmes & Collins, 2001). (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Les buts principaux de cette étude étaient (a) de comparer les effets de l'imagerie mentale combinée à la pratique physique et la pratique physique spécifique sur la rétention et le transfert d'une habileté motrice fermée chez des enfants en bas âge ; (b) de déterminer la forme d'imagerie mentale (visuelle vs kinesthésique) la plus efficace pour la rétention et le transfert d'une habileté motrice fermée ; et (c) de vérifier la relation entre la saillance de l'image du mouvement et la performance motrice. Le but secondaire était de comparer l'effet du genre sur la performance motrice pendant l'exécution d'une habileté motrice fermée. Les participants (n = 96) ont été recrutés dans trois écoles primaires. Ils ont été divisés en six groupes et soumis à différentes conditions expérimentales. La tâche expérimentale exigeait que les participants lancent une balle sur une cible composée de trois cercles concentriques, à l'aide de leur main non-dominante (main gauche). La performance a étéévaluée durant le prétest, le traitement, le test de rétention et le test de transfert. Les résultats ont démontré que la performance obtenue avec une combinaison d'imagerie mentale (visuelle ou kinesthésique) et de pratique physique équivaut à celle produite par la pratique physique spécifique durant la phase de rétention, mais est significativement supérieure durant le transfert de l'habileté motrice fermée. Ces résultats soulignent les avantages potentiels de l'imagerie mentale comme stratégie de rétention pour les habiletés motrices et l'amélioration des performances. De tels résultats peuvent être expliqués en vertu de la similitude entre trois composantes fonctionnelles principales partagées par la pratique mentale et physique : comportementale, centrale et périphérique (tel que suggéré par Holmes & Collins, 2001).

Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the stability of chromosome fragile sites, therefore, has important implications in cancer biology. We previously identified two chromosome fragile sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that were induced in response to the reduced expression of Pol1p, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase α. In the study presented here, we show that reduced levels of Pol3p, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase Δ, induce instability at these same sites and lead to the generation of a variety of chromosomal aberrations. These findings demonstrate that a change in the stoichiometry of replicative DNA polymerases results in recombinogenic DNA lesions, presumably double-strand DNA breaks.

X-ray diffraction analysis revealed c-axis crystallographic orientation in the hot pressing direction. The orientation, combined with the inherent thermal expansion anisotropy of the structure, led to preferential microcracking and an overall anisotropic thermal expansion in hot pressed ceramics. Thermal conductivity was calculated for temperatures ranging from −120 to 500°C from measured heat capacity and thermal diffusivity. Over that range, thermal conductivity increased from ∼9.5 to ∼21.5W/mK. Electrical resistivity measurements allowed the separation of electrical and phononic contributions and revealed that the thermal conductivity of Mo≤5Si3C≤1 was dominated by electron transport.

To monitor the dynamics of soil erosion, there is an important need for an optimal sampling design in which determining the optimal spatial resolutions in terms of size of sample plots used for the collection of ground data and the size of pixels for mapping. Given a sample size, an optimal spatial resolution should be cost-efficient in both sampling costs and map accuracy. This study presents a spatial variability-based method for that purpose and compared it with the traditional methods in a study area in which a soil erosion cover factor was sampled and mapped with multiple plot sizes and multi-sensor images. The results showed that the optimal spatial resolutions obtained using the spatial variability-based method were 12 and 20m for years 1999 and 2000, respectively, and were consistent with those using the traditional methods. Moreover, the most appropriate spatial resolutions using the high-resolution images were also consistent with those using ground sample data, which provides a potential to use the high-resolution images instead of ground data to determine the optimal spatial resolutions before sampling. The most appropriate spatial resolutions above were then verified in terms of cost-efficiency which was defined as the product of sampling cost and map error using ordinary kriging without images and sequential Gaussian co-simulation with images to generate maps.

In this study, we present an overview and analysis of the relevant 254 nm data previously reported and available in the literature. The amount of variability in this data prevented us from determining an “average” response for any bacterium. Therefore, we developed particular selection criteria to include the data in our analysis and suggested future guidelines for reporting UV sensitivity results. We then compiled a table of the sensitivity to 254 nm UV for 38 bacteria and three bacterial spores. The UV sensitivity was quite similar (within 10%) among the spores of Bacillus anthracis (strains Vollum 1B and Sterne), Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus megaterium. These data indicate that spores of B. subtilis and B. megaterium could be adequate simulants of B. anthracis spores in UVC experiments. Spores of B. anthracis, B. subtilis and B. megaterium were 5–10 times more resistant to UV than were their corresponding vegetative cells. The vegetative cells of B. anthracis showed similar UV sensitivity to those of Burkholderia pseudomallei, Shigella sonnei, and a wild-type strain of Escherichia coli. Yersinia enterocolitica and Vibrio cholerae appeared more sensitive to UV and Salmonella typhi slightly more resistant to UV than E. coli. The sensitivity (at 254 nm) of all vegetative bacteria ranged from 11 to 80 Jm2 for a 1 Log10 kill and from 25–200 Jm2 for 4 Log10 kill.

This research investigated how various strategies for modifying task difficulty in instructional videogames impact learner performance and motivation. Further, the influence of prior videogame experience on these learning outcomes was examined, as well as the role prior experience played in determining the optimal approach for adjusting task difficulty. Participants completed a game-based training task under one of four task difficulty conditions: static, increasing, adaptive-low and adaptive-high. All participants completed an identical pre-training trial, 10 practice trials varying in difficulty level according to condition, and a final performance trial. Results demonstrate that learner performance and motivation significantly improved in all difficulty conditions. Further, prior videogame experience was found to significantly influence these learning outcomes and a three-way interaction was detected between performance, task difficulty condition, and experience. The results of this research provide information useful to instructional videogame developers and instructors utilizing videogames as instructional tools.

JO - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment JF - Human & Ecological Risk Assessment Y1 - 2008/09//Sep/Oct2008 VL - 14 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 898 EP - 918 SN - 10807039 AB - A multiple stressor risk assessment was conducted at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, as a demonstration of the Military Ecological Risk Assessment Framework. The focus was a testing program at Cibola Range, which involved an Apache Longbow helicopter firing Hellfire missiles at moving targets, that is, M60-A1 tanks. This article describes the ecological risk assessment for the missile launch and detonation. The primary stressor associated with this activity was sound. Other minor stressors included the detonation impact, shrapnel, and fire. Exposure to desert mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus crooki) was quantified using the Army sound contour program BNOISE2, as well as distances from the explosion to deer. Few effects data were available from related studies. Exposure-response models for the characterization of effects consisted of human “disturbance” and hearing damage thresholds in units of C-weighted decibels (sound exposure level) and a distance-based No-Observed-Adverse-Effects Level for moose and cannonfire. The risk characterization used a weight-of-evidence approach and concluded that risk to mule deer behavior from the missile firing was likely for a negligible number of deer, but that no risk to mule deer abundance and reproduction is expected.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/09// VL - 27 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 1932 EP - 1941 SN - 07307268 AB - Carbon nanotubes (NTs) may be among the most useful engineered nanomaterials for structural applications but could be difficult to study in ecotoxicological evaluations using existing tools relative to nanomaterials with a lower aspect ratio. Whereas the hydrophobicity and van der Waals interactions of NTs may suggest aggregation and sedimentation in aquatic systems, consideration regarding how engineered surface modifications influence their environmental fate and toxicology is needed. Surface modifications (e.g., functional groups and coatings) are intended to create conditions to make NTs dispersible in aqueous suspension, as required for some applications. In the present study, column stability and settling experiments indicated that raw, multiwalled NTs (MWNTs) settled more rapidly than carbon black and activated carbon particles, suggesting sediment as the ultimate repository. The presence of functional groups, however, slowed the settling of MWNTs (increasing order of stability: hydroxyl > carboxyl > raw), especially in combination with natural organic matter (NOM). Stabilized MWNTs in high concentrations of NOM provided relevance for water transport and toxicity studies. Aqueous exposures to raw MWNTs decreased Ceriodaphnia dubia viability, but such effects were not observed during exposure to functionalized MWNTs (>80 mg/L). Sediment exposures of the amphipods Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca to different sizes of sediment-borne carbon particles at high concentration indicated mortality increased as particle size decreased, although raw MWNTs induced lower mortality (median lethal concentration [LC50], 50 to >264 g/kg) than carbon black (LC50, 18-40 g/kg) and activated carbon (LC50, 12-29 g/kg). Our findings stress that it may be inappropriate to classify all NTs into one category in terms of their environmental regulation.

A liquid module test bed has been built to create various convection conditions and is used with 600-V high-current MOSFET-based Embedded Power samples to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme. Compared with single- sided liquid cooling, an improvement of 45% to 60% in thermal resistance is experimentally shown, for Embedded Power with double-sided liquid cooling for a device loss between 5 and 300 W and 0.25 to 4.5 GPM water flow rate. The trend and concept is also validated with physics-based lumped parameter thermal models.

Actual flight trajectories are computed using an advanced coupled computational fluid dynamics/rigid body dynamics technique in a body-fixed coordinate system. An advanced time-accurate Navier--Stokes computational technique has been used in computational fluid dynamics to compute the unsteady aerodynamics associated with the free flight of the finned projectile at supersonic speeds. Computed positions and orientations of the projectile have been compared with actual data measured from free-flight tests and are found to be generally in good agreement with the data. Predicted aerodynamics forces and moments also compare well with the forces and moments used in the 6 degree of freedom fits of the results of the same tests. Unsteady numerical results obtained from the coupled method show the flowfield, the aerodynamic coefficients, and the flight paths of the projectile.

Accelerated tests have been conducted on resulting composites at different temperature and different time. Flexural tests results show that modulus and strength decreased with increasing of time and temperature. Based on the experimental result, a linear damage model has been combined with the Weibull distribution function to establish a constitutive equation for carbon/epoxy composite. The parameters in this model are the modulus E, the Weibull shape parameter and Weibull scale parameter. The simulated stress–strain curves from the model are in good agreement with the test data. All three parameters were found to be temperature and time dependent.

In environmental monitoring, the ability to classify field samples and predict the pollutants present in these samples could contribute to monitoring efforts and the diagnosis of contaminated sites. Using gene expression analysis, we challenged our custom Daphnia magna cDNA microarray to determine the presence of a specific metal toxicant in blinded field samples collected from two copper mines in California. We compared the gene expression profiles from our field samples to previously established expression profiles for Cu, Cd, and Zn. The expression profiles from the Cu-containing field samples clustered with the laboratory-exposed Cu-specific gene expression profiles and included genes previously identified as copper biomarkers, verifying that gene expression analysis can predict environmental exposure to a specific pollutant. In addition, our study revealed that upstream field samples containing undetectable levels of Cu caused the differential expression of only a few genes, lending support for the concept of a no observed transcriptional effect level (NOTEL). If confirmed by further studies, the NOTEL may play an important role in discriminating polluted and nonpolluted sites in future monitoring efforts.

In order to be used for this purpose, catalytic partial oxidation must be combined with other processes, such as water-gas shift and preferential oxidation, to produce hydrogen with minimal carbon monoxide. This paper evaluates the use of catalytic partial oxidation in an integrated system for conversion of a military logistic fuel, JP-8, to high-purity hydrogen. A fuel processing system using CPO as the first processing step is simulated to understand the trade-offs involved in using CPO. The effects of water flow rate, CPO reactor temperature, carbon to oxygen ratio in the CPO reactor, temperature of preferential oxidation, oxygen to carbon ratio in the preferential oxidation reactor, and temperature for the water-gas shift reaction are evaluated. The possibility of recycling water from the fuel cell for use in fuel processing is evaluated. Finally, heat integration options are explored. A process efficiency, defined as the ratio of the lower heating value of hydrogen to that of JP-8, of around 53% is possible with a carbon to oxygen ratio of 0.7. Higher efficiencies are possible (up to 71%) when higher C/O ratios are used, provided that olefin production can be minimized in the CPO reactor.

Measurements of hydrology, nutrients, and aboveground net primary productivity were made from September 1998 through March 2002. Accretion measurements were made in October 2000 and October 2004. The major hydrologic inputs to the system were the effluent, precipitation, and back water flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. Nutrient levels were generally low except in the immediate vicinity of the outfall. Mean net primary production of the freshwater forest system was significantly higher downstream of the effluent discharge (1202gm−2 yr−1) compared to the control site (799gm−2 yr−1). Downstream of the outfall, accretion rates were double the rate of relative sea level rise in the area. Removal efficiencies of N and P were as high as 75% and 95%, respectively. The relatively constant flow of secondarily treated municipal effluent buffered the downstream area from salinity intrusion during a region-wide drought. Re-direction of nutrient-enhanced effluents from open water bodies to wetland ecosystems can maintain plant productivity, sequester carbon, and maintain coastal wetland elevations in response to sea-level rise in addition to improving overall surface water quality, reducing energy use, and increasing financial savings.

An isolated building’s effect on propagating sound is a fundamental case of suburban acoustics and urban acoustics in general. Its study is a necessity in order to determine the processes that might be required to model the sound field in the building’s vicinity, e.g., diffraction and wind effects. The work herein presents the results of an experimental effort to characterize the interaction between propagating sound and a single story, gabled-roof building typical of some North American suburban and rural areas. Recorded data are found to reasonably compare to a common diffraction model in some instances.

Intermittency mechanisms due to both the turbulent energy cascade (intrinsic intermittency) and spatially uneven production (global intermittency) are modeled using ensembles of quasiwavelets (QWs), which are analogous to turbulent eddies. The intrinsic intermittency is associated with decreasing spatial density (packing fraction) of the QWs with decreasing size. Global intermittency is introduced by allowing the local strength of the turbulence, as manifested by the amplitudes of the QWs, to vary in space according to superimposed Markov processes. The resulting turbulence spectrum is then used to evaluate the coherence function of a plane sound wave undergoing line-of-sight propagation. Predictions are made by a general simulation method and by an analytical derivation valid in the limit of Gaussian fluctuations in signal phase. It is shown that the average coherence function increases as a result of both intrinsic and global intermittency. When global intermittency is very strong, signal phase fluctuations become highly non-Gaussian and the average coherence is dominated by episodes with weak turbulence.

Piezoelectric thin films are capable of generating very large actuation forces, but their motion is not easily directed into lateral displacement in microscale devices. A new piezoelectric thin-film actuator that uses a combination of piezoelectric unimorph beams to generate lateral displacement has been developed. The piezoelectric actuators were fabricated using chemical-solution-derived lead zirconate titanate thin films. These actuators have demonstrated forces greater than 7 mN at displacements of nearly 1 μm, with maximum stroke lengths at 20 V greater than 5 μm in a 500-μm-long by 100-μm-wide actuator. Force and displacement capabilities can be manipulated through simple changes to the actuator design, while actuator nonlinearity can produce dramatic gains in work capacity and stroke length for longer actuators.

The radioisotope direct-charged electrostatic actuation of the piezoelectric unimorph cantilever results in the conversion of radiation energy into mechanical energy stored in the strained unimorph cantilever. The gradual accumulation of the actuation charges leads to the pull-in of the unimorph cantilever into the radioisotope thin-film, and the resulting discharge leads to vibrations in the unimorph cantilever. During the vibrations, the stored mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by the piezoelectric thin-film. The generator was realized by using both microfabricated lead zirconate titanate oxide-silicon (PZT-Si) and aluminum nitride-silicon (AIN-Si) unimorph cantilevers. The radioisotope direct-charged electrostatic actuation of the AIN-Si unimorph cantilevers by a 2.9-mCi 63Ni thin-film radiating 0.3 μW led to charge-discharge-vibrate cycles that resulted in the generation of 0.25% duty cycle 12.95-μW power pulses (across an optimal load impedance of 521 kΩ) at an overall energy conversion efficiency of 3.97%. These electrical power pulses can potentially be useful for periodically sampling sensor microsystems.

These serotypes are highly specific in their proteolytic cleavage of SNAP-25 (synaptosomal-associated protein of 25kDa), VAMP (vesicle associated membrane protein) or syntaxin. The catalytic domain (light chain, LC) of the neurotoxin has a Zn2+ dependent endopeptidase activity. In order to design drugs and inhibitors against these toxins, high level overexpression and characterization of LC of BoNTs along with the development of assays to monitor their proteolytic activity becomes important. Using the auto-induction method, we attained a high level expression of BoNT/C1(1–430) yielding more than 30mg protein per 500ml culture. We also developed an efficient assay to measure the activity of serotype C1 based on a HPLC method. SNAP-25 with varying peptide length has been reported in literature as substrates for BoNT/C1 proteolysis signifying the importance of remote exosites in BoNT/C1 required for activity. Here, we show that a 17-mer peptide corresponding to residues 187–203 of SNAP-25, which has earlier been shown to be a substrate for BoNT/A, can be used as a substrate for quantifying the activity of BoNT/C1(1–430). There was no pH dependence for the proteolysis, however the presence of dithiothreitol is essential for the reaction. Although the 17-mer substrate bound 110-fold less tightly to BoNT/C1(1–430) than SNAP-25, the optimal assay conditions facilitated an increase in the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme by about 5-fold.

Surrounding the blast noise, we employ a group of concentric trenches with critical depths to dampen the propagation of the acoustic wave. These trenches behave like quarter-wavelength resonators and produce acoustic soft surfaces at their openings. The sound pressure is then mitigated over these soft surfaces by destructive interference and the wave attenuates rapidly along the ground surface. To evaluate the overall acoustic performance of such a design, we develop an efficient numerical solver by treating the geometry as a body of revolution (BOR). The symmetry of the structure in the revolution direction allows the 3D boundary integral equation (BIE) for acoustic wave scattering to be reduced to a 2D integral equation by the use of Fourier series expansions. Numerical experiments show that this model can effectively suppress the acoustic wave propagation horizontally and the reduction can reach about 15 dB for large-calibre gun noise with very low-frequency components.

This approach serves as an alternative to the current practice adopted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of adjusting flight routes in accordance with the guidelines specified in the National Playbook. Our innovative contributions in this paper include (a) the concept of “Probability-Nets” and the development of discretized representations of various weather phenomena that affect aviation operations; (b) the integration of readily accessible severe weather probabilities from existing weather forecast data provided by the National Weather Service; (c) the generation of flight plans that circumvent severe weather phenomena with specified probability threshold levels, and (d) a probabilistic delay assessment methodology for evaluating planned flight routes that might encounter potentially disruptive weather along its trajectory. Additionally, we conduct an economic benefit analysis using a k-means clustering mechanism in concert with our delay assessment methodology in order to evaluate delay costs and system disruptions associated with variations in probability-net refinement-based information. Computational results and insights are presented based on flight test cases derived from the Enhanced Traffic Management System data provided by the FAA and using weather scenarios derived from the Model Output Statistics forecast data provided by the National Weather Service.

JO - Applied Spectroscopy JF - Applied Spectroscopy Y1 - 2008/08// VL - 62 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 881 EP - 888 SN - 00037028 AB - A study was conducted to determine the concentration dependency of the mid-infrared (MIR) absorbance of bacterial spores. A range of concentrations of Bacillus subtilis endospores filtered across gold-coated filter membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) reflectance microscopy. Calibration curves were derived from the peak absorbances associated with Amide A, Amide I, and Amide II vibrational frequencies by automatic baseline fitting to remove most of the scattering contribution. Linear relationships (R2 ≥ 0.99) were observed between the concentrations of spores and the baseline-corrected peak absorbance for each frequency studied. Detection limits for our sampled area of 100 ×100 μm2 were determined to be 79, 39, and 184 spores (or 7.92 × 105, 3.92 × 105, and 1.84 × 106 spores/cm2) for the Amide A, Amide I, and Amide II peaks, respectively. Absorbance increased linearly above the scattering baseline with particle surface concentration up to 0.9 monolayer (ML) coverage, with the monolayer density calculated to be approximately 1.17 × 108 spores/cm2. Scattering as a function of surface concentration, as estimated from extinction values at wavelengths exhibiting low absorbance, becomes nonlinear at a much lower surface concentration. The apparent scattering cross-section per spore decreased monotonically as concentrations increased toward 1.2 ML, while the absolute scattering decreased between 0.9 ML and 1.2 ML coverage. Calculations suggest that transverse spatial coherence effects are the origin of this nonlinearity, while the onset of nonlinearity in the baseline-corrected absorption is probably due to multiple scattering effects, which appear at a high surface concentration. Absorption cross-sections at peaks of the three bands were measured to be (2.15 ± 0.05) × 10−9, (1.48 ± 0.03) × 10−9, and (0.805 ± 0.023) × 10−9 cm2, respectively. These values are smaller by a factor of 2–4 than expected from the literature. The origin of the reduced cross-section is hypothesized to be an electric field effect related to the surface selection rule.

Currently, there are no antiviral therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat smallpox or monkeypox infection. In this study, we showed that administration of the antiviral compound ST-246 to rabbits by oral gavage, once daily for 14 days beginning 1h postexposure (p.e.), resulted in 100% survival in a lethal aerosolized rabbitpox model used as a surrogate for smallpox. Furthermore, efficacy of delayed treatment with ST-246 was evaluated by beginning treatment on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 p.e. Although a limited number of rabbits showed less severe signs of the rabbitpox disease from the day 1 and day 2 p.e. treatment groups, their illness resolved very quickly, and the survival rates for these group of rabbits were 88% and 100%, respectively. But when the treatment was started on days 3 or 4 p.e., survival was 67% and 33%, respectively. This work suggests that ST-246 is a very potent antiviral compound against aerosolized rabbitpox in rabbits and should be investigated for further development for all orthopoxvirus diseases.

The method combines new physical models, simulation techniques, and experiment to provide insight into the details of MOSFET time-dependent dynamics. A new physical model for generation- recombination between interface traps and channel electrons was derived, facilitating the analysis of trap dynamics in the energy, space, and time domains. A set of algorithms was developed, which enabled these rates to be incorporated into the drift-diffusion model so that their effect on the switching of 4H-SiC MOSFETs could be numerically evaluated. The correlation of simulated and experimental dc and transient drain current allowed the extraction of the density and the effective capture cross sections of interface traps. It was found that states near the band edge would become occupied much more quickly and had a much larger effective capture cross section than those that were several tenths of an electronvolt away from the band edge. This has led to the conclusion that the fast traps with large capture cross sections are likely to be interface states, whereas the traps with the smaller capture cross sections are a combination of midgap interface states and oxide traps. The observation of trap dynamics suggests that improvements in long-term device stability can be achieved by reducing oxide traps, whereas short-term stability can be improved by the reduction of interface traps.

The model has been verified for an extensive range of bias conditions and temperatures. It incorporates details of interface trap densities, Coulombic interface trap scattering, surface roughness scattering, phonon scattering, velocity saturation, and their dependences on bias and temperature. The physics-based models were implemented into our device simulator that is tailored for 4H-SiC MOSFET analysis. By using a methodology of numerical modeling, simulation, and close correlation with experimental data, values for various physical parameters governing the operation of 4H-SiC MOSFETs, including the temperature-dependent interface trap density of states, the root-mean-square height and correlation length of the surface roughness, and the electron saturation velocity in the channel and its dependence on temperature, have been extracted. Coulomb scattering and surface roughness scattering limit surface mobility for a wide range of temperatures in the subthreshold and linear regions of device operation, whereas the saturation velocity and the high-field mobility limit current in the saturation region.

This effect has a strong measurement time dependence. For example, a 20-μs-long gate ramp used to measure the I-V characteristic and extract a threshold voltage was found to result in a VT instability three to four times greater than that measured with a 1-s-long gate ramp. The VT instability was three times greater in devices that did not receive a NO postoxidation anneal compared with those that did. This instability effect is consistent with electrons directly tunneling in and out of near-interfacial oxide traps, which in irradiated Si MOS was attributed to border traps.

Whereas some findings argue that individuals’ representations are invariant following text-based, map-based, or first-person experience, other studies have suggested that representations can also exhibit considerable flexibility. In the current project we investigated the influences of spatial description perspectives and depictions on the nature of mental representations. In Experiment 1, participants exhibited more flexibility following survey, compared to route, spatial descriptions. With extended study time, though, flexibility following route descriptions increased. In Experiment 2, complementary maps further enhanced flexibility for route-based descriptions. Interestingly, increased exposure to these maps actually reduced flexibility following survey descriptions. These results demonstrate that the nature of our spatial mental representations depends upon a variety of factors; delineating these factors is critical for resolving debates concerning the malleable and invariant characteristics of spatial memory.

Three types of pilot-scale RDBs, a single-layer RDB, a multi-layer RDB, and a hybrid RDB, were examined at various gas EBCTs but at a constant VOC loading rate. Diethyl ether, toluene, and hexane were used separately as model VOC. When EBCT increased from 5.0 to 60s at a constant VOC loading rate of 2.0kgCOD/(m3 day), ether removal efficiency increased from 73.1% to 97.6%, from 81.6% to 99.9%, and from 84.0% to 99.9% for the single-layer RDB, the multi-layer RDB, and the hybrid RDB, respectively, and toluene removal efficiency increased from 76.4% to 99.9% and from 84.8% to 99.9% for the multi-layer RDB and the hybrid RDB, respectively. When hexane was used as the model VOC at a constant loading rate of 0.25kgCOD/(m3 day), hexane removal efficiency increased from 31.1% to 57.0% and from 29.5% to 50.0% for the multi-layer RDB and hybrid RDB, respectively. The single-layer, multi-layer, and hybrid RDBs exhibited, respectively, the lowest, middle, and highest removal efficiencies, when operated under similar operational loading conditions. Hexane exhibited the lowest removal efficiency, while diethyl ether displayed the highest removal efficiency. The data collected at the various EBCT values correlated reasonably well with a saturation model. The sensitivity of removal efficiency to EBCT varied significantly with EBCT values, VOC properties, and biofilter configurations. Process selection and design for RDB processes should consider these factors.

All these complexes exhibit a wide optical window in the visible spectral range and display long triplet excited-state lifetimes (140−240 μs). It has been found that the complexes with tetrasubstituents at the α-positions exhibit a bathochromic shift in their UV−vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, and triplet transient difference absorption spectra and have larger triplet excited-state absorption coefficients. The nonlinear absorption of these complexes has been investigated using the Z-scan technique. It is revealed that all complexes exhibit a strong reverse saturable absorption at 532 nm for nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses. The excited-state absorption cross sections were determined through a theoretical fitting of the experimental data using a five-band model. The complexes with tetrasubstituents at the α-positions exhibit larger ratios of triplet excited-state absorption to ground-state absorption cross sections (σ T/σ g) than the other complexes. In addition, the wavelength-dependent nonlinear absorption of these complexes was studied in the range of 470−550 nm with picosecond laser pulses. All complexes exhibit reverse saturable absorption in a broad visible spectral range for picosecond laser pulses. Finally, the nonlinear transmission behavior of these complexes for nanosecond laser pulses was demonstrated at 532 nm. All complexes, and especially the four α-tetrasubstituted complexes, exhibit stronger reverse saturable absorption than unsubstituted zinc phthalocyanines due to the larger ratio of their excited-state absorption cross sections to their respective ground-state absorption cross sections.

Five of them are nitric oxide-susceptible viruses while the other five are nitric oxide-resistant viruses. These isolates were investigated to identify genetic factors that are responsible for the different phenotypes. Due to the evidence showing that NO suppresses DENV RNA polymerase activity, we, therefore, hypothesized that the RdRp domain of NS5 may responsible for NO inhibition. To answer this question, sequences of NS5 gene of NO-susceptible viruses and NO-resistant viruses were compared. We found that these two groups of viruses contain different amino acid sequence at position 621 to 646 in the active site of NS5. These data suggested that response to the inhibitory effect of nitric oxide radical may, at least in part, be regulated by NS5. The effect of these two different phenotypes of viruses on host cells was studied using cDNA array screening. The cDNA array analysis demonstrated that the nitric oxide-resistant group had a stronger influence on host cells since it induced changes in the expression of a greater number of genes than did the nitric oxide-susceptible group, 97 genes versus 71 genes, respectively. The NO-resistant virus also stimulated cytokines known to be virulent factors, such as IL 6, IL 8, RANTES, and the inflammatory factors. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that dengue viruses isolated from patients show genotypic and phenotypic differences which may correlate with virulence.

Effects of this policy are not well understood. Data from a case study of civilian mariners integrated with sailors on a U.S. Navy ship were analyzed to determine the effects of social comparisons on each group's job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intentions to remain with their current employer. Results indicate both sailors and civilian mariners view sailors as less advantaged compared to their civilian peers. The effect of these social comparisons on each group's satisfaction, commitment, and retention attitudes was mixed, having a significant negative impact for sailors but not for civilian mariners. These results identify an unintended negative consequence of the decision to integrate civilian and military personnel in an operational unit. The way civilian mariners were integrated is discussed as a possible reason for the differential effect of social comparisons between the two groups.

We have performed numerical simulations of an ensemble of nonlinearly interacting free gravity waves (a swell) by two different methods: by solving the primordial dynamical equations describing the potential flow of an ideal fluid with a free surface, and by solving the kinetic Hasselmann equation, describing the wave ensemble in the framework of the theory of weak turbulence. In both cases we have observed effects predicted by this theory: frequency downshift, angular spreading and formation of a Zakharov–Filonenko spectrum . To achieve quantitative coincidence of the results obtained by different methods, we have to augment the Hasselmann kinetic equation by an empirical dissipation term modeling the coherent effects of white-capping. Using the standard dissipation terms from the operational wave predicting model (WAM) leads to a significant improvement on short times, but does not resolve the discrepancy completely, leaving the question about the optimal choice of open. In the long run, WAM dissipative terms essentially overestimate dissipation.

The FPGAs are reconfigured at run time to become application-specific processors that collaborate with the GPPs to execute the application. High-level language (HLL) to hardware description language (HDL) compilers allow the FPGA-based kernels to be generated using HLL-based programming rather than HDL-based hardware design. Unfortunately, the loops needed for floating-point reduction operations often cannot be pipelined by these HLL–HDL compilers. This capability gap prevents the development of a number of important FPGA-based kernels. This article describes a novel architecture and algorithm that allow the use of an HLL–HDL environment to implement high-performance FPGA-based kernels that reduce multiple, variable-length sets of floating-point data. A sparse matrix iterative solver is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the reduction kernel. The FPGA-augmented version running on a contemporary RC is up to 2.4 times faster than the software-only version of the same solver running on the GPP. Conservative estimates show the solver will run up to 6.3 times faster than software on a next-generation RC.

Two past research efforts have demonstrated this utility and are described here. A 4.5 m vertical core was obtained from a diesel fuel oil contamination plume. Core material was assayed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and bacterial membrane phospholipids (PLFA) via a single solvent extraction. Microbial viable biomass and the relative abundance of Gram-negative bacterial PLFA biomarkers were found to be significantly correlated with TPH concentration. The core TPH profile also revealed two distinct areas where the average TPH level of 3000 μg g−1 fell to near detection limits. Both areas were characterized by a three-fold decrease in the hexadecane/pristane ratio, indicating alkane biodegradation, and a distinct PLFA profile that showed a close similarity to the uncontaminated surface soil. Low-order, incomplete detonations can deposit hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) into training range surface soils. Since surface soils are exposed to temporal and diurnal moisture cycles, we investigated the effect two very different soil moisture tensions had on the in situ microbiota and RDX biodegradation. Saturated soils were characterized by rapid RDX biodegradation, 4 day half-life, a decrease in number of species detected and increase in PLFA biomarkers for Gram-negative proteobacteria (n16:1ω7c, n18:1ω9c, and n18:1ω7c) and Gram-positive firmicutes (i15:0 and a15:0). Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) profiles of endpoint microbial communities indicated a shift from 18 to 36% firmicutes, the loss of gamma-proteobacteria and the emergence of alpha-proteobacteria. These two past research efforts demonstrated the utility of the lipid biomarker analysis in identifying microbial community characteristics that were associated with two very different soil contaminants. Lipid biomarkers defined areas of TPH biodegradation and identified community shifts as a result of soil conditions that affected explosives fate. Information like this can be used to enhance the predictive power of ecological models such as the Army Training and Testing Area Carrying Capacity for munitions model [ATTACC].

The electrical resistivity of the composite processed at 2150°C decreased from ∼4.60Ωcm at room temperature to 4.15Ωcm at 700°C. Thermal conductivity of the MS ceramics processed at 2150°C was above 100W/mK at room temperature, decreasing to between 62 and 68W/mK at 500°C. Using the Eucken model for thermal conductivity, the interconnected SiC phase in the MS materials was calculated to have a room temperature thermal conductivity between 160 and 170W/mK. As compared to a baseline SiC composition, the continuous SiC in the MS materials had an average increase in thermal conductivity of ∼50% over the temperature range of room temperature to 500°C. This increase in thermal conductivity was attributed to the accommodation of impurities that would typically be present in SiC grains and grain boundaries (e.g., N and O) into the ternary phase.

While human activity is considered the main reason causing indoor particle resuspension, theoretical particle adhesion force models give predictions of adhesion force much larger than the disturbance forces introduced by human activity. This work suggests that the imperfect contact between particles and surfaces can greatly reduce the adhesion bond. Electrostatic detachment method is used to measure the actual adhesion force distribution of micron-sized particles to such common indoor flooring materials as vinyl and rubber. Comparisons are made between the theoretical predictions and experimental measurements. Factorial experiments are also designed to study the influence of particle type, flooring type and contact time on particle adhesion force.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 46 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 79 SN - 01636804 AB - Cognitive radio techniques are being applied to many different communications systems. They hold promise for increasing utilization of radio frequencies that are underutilized today, allowing for improved commercial data services, and allowing for new emergency and military communications services [1]. For example, these techniques are being considered by the U.S. FCC for communications services in unlicensed VHF and UHF TV bands. Although traditionally these techniques are closely associated with software- defined radios, many standards such as WiFi (IEEE 802.11), Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4), and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) already include some degree of CR technology today. Further advances are occurring rapidly. IEEE 802.22 will be the first cognitive radio-based international standard with tangible frequency bands for its operation. Standardization is at the core of the current and future success of cognitive radio. Industry stakeholders are participating in international standards activities governing the use of cognitive radio techniques for dynamic spectrum access and coexistence, next-generation radio and spectrum management, and interoperability in infrastructure-less wireless networks. This article provides a review of standardization activities for cognitive radio technologies and comments on prospects and issues for future standardization.

Here, we report the 17O 1D and 2D NMR (MAS and MQMAS) spectra of synthetic kaolinite-montmorillonite mixtures. Various O sites in the mixtures revealed from O-17 NMR include apical O (VISi-O-2IVAl), multiple basal O atoms (VISi-O-VISi and two VISi-O-VIAl sites) in tetrahedral layers, and hydroxyl group with distinct ranges for NMR parameters (quadrupolar coupling constant, Cq and isotropic chemical shift, 17O δiso). In particular, the structurally relevant NMR parameters (17O δiso, Cq, and asymmetry parameter, η) for two resolved IVSi-O-VIAl sites are about 52 ± 2 ppm, 2.6 ± 0.2 MHz, and 0.5 for IVSi-O-IVAl (I) and about 44.5 ± 2 ppm, and 3.1 ± 0.2 MHz, and 0.5 for IVSi-O-IVAl (II), respectively. These sites may stem from crystallographically distinct IVSi-O-IVAl sites of varying bond length and IVSi-O-VIAl bond angle or IVAl-O-2VIAl site in the montmorillonite.

The seismic signal received on a geophone contains some energy that has propagated as seismic waves and some energy that couples from acoustic waves to seismic waves in the vicinity of the geophone. We use the frequency-domain coherence between the microphone and geophone signals to determine when the seismic signal is predominantly due to acoustic-to-seismic wave coupling. In frequency bands where the microphone and geophone coherence is above 0.8, the ratio of the seismic ground particle velocity to sound pressure—SAR—can be determined with less than 2 dB of error. The method is applied to data from a summer experiment with grass ground cover and at two winter experiments with snow-covered ground. At 100 Hz, the summer analysis yields a SAR value of 1.0 × 10-5 [(m/s)/Pa]. In addition, at 100 Hz, the two winter tests yield SAR between 0.1 × 10-5 and 1.0 × 10-5 [(m/s)/Pa]. In the later winter result, our vehicle-derived SAR estimate is shown to be in excellent agreement with SAR estimates obtained from blank pistol shots. Through the opportunistic exploitation background noise sources, our approach opens the possibility for automatic adaptation of unattended acoustic area, monitoring sensors to changing ground conditions.

Design: A repeated-measures, quasi-experimental design was used. Methods: Written and performance tests (initial, post-training, and final testing) used scenarios requiring performance of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) or basic life support (BLS) skills. Final testing was by random assignment to 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Sample: A convenience sample (n =133) was used. Instrumentation: American Heart Association 2000 ACLS and BLS evaluation tools were used in a simulated testing environment. Findings: Findings show nurses retain theoretical knowledge but performance skills degrade quickly. ACLS skills degrade faster than BLS skills with 63% passing BLS at 3 months and 58% at 12 months. Only 30% of participants passed ACLS skills at 3 months and 14% at 12 months. These findings are similar to the results of other investigators in over a decade of research. Conclusions: Study results showed a decline in skills retention with nurses unable to perform ACLS and BLS skills to standard for the entire certification period. The need for more frequent refresher training is needed. No formal research at this institution indicates skill degradation adversely affected patient outcomes. Further research on ACLS and BLS course content, design, management, and execution is needed.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of moderate iron deficiency and physical activity (PA) on body composition in an animal model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats consumed iron-adequate (IA; 40 mg/kg) or moderately iron-deficient (ID; 9mg/kg) diets ad libitum for 12 wk. Rats were assigned to 4 treatment groups In = 10 per group): IA, sedentary (IAS); IA, PA ((APA); ID, sedentary (IDS); or ID, PA (IDPA). Activity involved running on motorized running wheels at 4 m/mm for 1 h/d for 5 d/wk. After 12 wk, ID rats were not anemic, but body iron stores were reduced as indicated by diminished (P < 0.05) femur iron compared with IA rats. Treatment group did not affect body weight or feed consumption. However, fat mass was greater (P < 0.05) in IDS rats (38.6 ± 6.7%) than IAS 131.8 ± 2.9%), IAPA (31.8 ± 2.0%), and IDPA (32.8 ± 4.5%) rats. Furthermore, lean body mass was diminished in IDS rats (58.7 ± 6.8%) compared with IAS (65.6 ± 3.0%), IAPA (65.6 ± 2.1 %(, and IDPA (64.7 ± 4.5%) rats. Thus, moderate iron deficiency may cause increased body fat accretion in rats and PA attenuates that effect.

Product regioselectivity is modulated by reactant ratios, substituents, and acidity. Reaction rates were found to be influenced by substituents on the diketones and on phenylhydrazines as well as by acidity of the reaction medium with rates varying as much as 1000-fold. Hammett ρ values for these cyclizations were determined. The reaction was found to be first order in both the diketone and arylhydrazine. The rate-determining step for pyrazole formation shifts as a function of pH. Mechanistic details and reaction pathways supporting these findings are proposed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The traditional methods employ a soil-dilution extraction of the sample prior to analysis by high performance liquid chromatography with UV absorption detection. Another concern with the traditional analysis is that energetics contamination in environmental samples is often very heterogeneous in nature, usually requiring a large number of samples and multiple testing. The technique presented here addresses these data quality limitations by using a concentrative extraction procedure which produces a small volume of extract from a large soil sample. A concentration factor of 60-fold is achieved in this manner and energetics detection limits for soils are lowered by two orders of magnitude. The larger soil sample size also helps reduce the error associated with sample heterogeneity. The ability to detect explosive-based contaminants at levels of environmental interest enables a more accurate assessment of the transport pathways and treatment options for explosives contamination.

These properties also provide invaluable information for the overall understanding of environmental distribution, biotransformation, and potential treatment processes. In this study the aqueous solubility (S w), octanol–water partition coefficient (K ow), and Henry''s law constant (K H) were determined for an insensitive munitions (IM) compound, N-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA), at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15K. Effect of ionic strength on solubility, using electrolytes such as NaCl and CaCl2, was also studied. The data on the physicochemical parameters were correlated using the standard Van’t Hoff equation. All three properties exhibited a linear relationship with reciprocal temperature. The enthalpy and entropy of phase transfer were derived from the experimental data.

A case–control study was employed with cases as trainees with outpatient GAS diagnosis (ICD-9-CM codes: 034.0, 035, 038.0, 041.01, 320.2, 390–392, 482.31) during the influenza season, and controls as trainees with no outpatient GAS diagnosis during the influenza season. Primary exposure was influenza immunization during 1st September to 30th April of each season. Estimated protective effects of influenza immunization against GAS-illness ranged from 50% to 77%. A strong protective effect was suggested for Army trainee influenza immunization on the diagnosis of GAS-illness.

Each of them uses the interaural time delay, interaural level difference, and monaural spectral cues to estimate the location of a sound source. Given that most localization algorithms will be required to function in background noise, the localization performance of one of the algorithms was tested at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) from 40 to -40 dB. Stimuli included ten real-world, broadband sounds located at 5° intervals in azimuth and at 0° elevation. Both two- and four-microphone versions of the algorithm were implemented to localize sounds to 5° precision. The two-microphone version of the algorithm exhibited less than 2° mean localization error at SNRs of 20 dB and greater, and the four-microphone version committed approximately 1° mean error at SNRs of 10 dB or greater. Potential enhancements and applications of the algorithm are discussed.

A simple model of current spreading in a ridge laser with a segmented contact is proposed and analyzed. We show that current spreading effects should be taken into account in lasers with low threshold current densities and high "opening" voltages. When applied to interband cascade lasers, the method gives an internal optical loss of ~10-17 cm-1 and a differential gain of ~2.9 cm/A at 80 K, which agrees well with previously reported Hakki-Paoli data. The limitations of the technique are discussed.

We have developed a rover-borne neutron probe that localizes a near-surface icy deposit and provides information about its burial depth and abundance. We have also developed a borehole neutron probe to determine the stratigraphy of hydrogenous subsurface layers while operating within a drill string segment. In our field tests, we have used a neutron source to “illuminate” surrounding materials and gauge the instruments' efficacy, and we can simulate accurately the observed instrument responses using a Monte Carlo nuclear transport code (MCNPX). An active neutron source would not be needed for lunar or martian near-surface exploration: cosmic-ray interactions provide sufficient neutron flux to depths of several meters and yield better depth and abundance sensitivity than an active source. However, for deep drilling (≥10 m depth), a source is required. We also present initial tests of a borehole gamma ray lithodensity tool and demonstrate its utility in determining soil or rock densities and composition. Astrobiology 8, 639–652.

A recent article published in this law review argued that this placement has hindered military operations and disrupted civilian control over the military; left unaddressed, it will negatively affect the nation's ability to fight and win future wars. This Essay takes issue with such assertions. In fact, judge advocates foster appropriate civil-military relations. They participate in the development and application of policy in a manner that enhances civilian control over military affairs. Moreover, judge advocates are singularly well-placed to ensure that civilian leadership preferences are fully understood and followed by the military on the battlefield. The Essay concludes by forcefully rejecting any suggestion that judge advocates pose an obstacle to operational success, charging that those who make such claims reveal their lack of operational experience.

Aerobic plate counts, the presence of Enterobacteriaceae, and the presence of Escherichia coli, modified to express a green fluorescent protein (GFP E. coli), was used to evaluate the effectiveness of various sanitizers in decreasing bacterial incorporation into newly generated biofilms in recirculating aquaculture systems. Disks of Buna-N rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated PVC, glass, fiberglass, and stainless steel were placed in aquariums stocked with Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The effectiveness of water, an alkaline cleanser, sodium hypochlorite, a quaternary ammonium compound, or peracetic acid as a sanitizer was evaluated on each substrate by enumerating total plate counts, GFP E. coli, and Enterobacteriaceae. Sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid were the most effective sanitizers, with an overall percentage reduction of GFP E. coli of approximately 2 logs10. The quaternary ammonium compound was moderately effective, 1 log10, against the target organisms. Water demonstrated a 2 log10 reduction of the total plate count, suggesting that some mechanical cleaning was achieved. The type of material used as substrate for the biofilm had no significant (P > 0.05) effect on the effectiveness of the sanitizers.

The film composition was determined by Rutherford Backscattering where we will show the film composition can be controlled by adjusting the power supplied to each nozzle. A programmed, variable power input to one nozzle was employed in order to deposit linearly graded composition films.

JO - Integrated Ferroelectrics JF - Integrated Ferroelectrics Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 101 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 132 EP - 141 SN - 10584587 AB - Residual stress in thin film barium strontium titanate is thought to be preferentially distributed within the thickness of the film, such that a high degree of residual stress is manifested at the film-substrate interface, and the level of residual stress gradually decreases towards the free surface. To investigate this phenomena, a series of very thin films of barium strontium titanate with both cubic (30-70 Ba-Sr ratio) and tetragonal (80-20 Ba-Sr ratio) lattice structures were fabricated on platinized silicon and magnesium oxide. The thickness of these films was varied from 4-25 nm and the level of residual stress was investigated. The results highlighted within this paper, indicate that the cubic and tetragonal films manifest stress via different mechanisms, and that the substrate affected the magnitude of the residual stress but not the mechanism of stress relief.

Magnesium was examined as a B-site acceptor dopant in conjunction with oxygen vacancy defects. DFT results indicated that the lattice length between nearest titanium atoms would contract when magnesium was introduced onto the titanium site; however, the long-range titanium-titanium length would expand, resulting in an average lattice expansion for low magnesium dopant concentrations. Oxygen vacancies caused an expansion of the local lattice constant, the degree of which was influenced by the local strontium to barium ratio. The experimental results verified the generally observed theoretical trends.

However, there is concern that in practical applications the device performance will be compromised due to the temperature dependence of the BST based device capacitance. We report a device design which controls the magnitude and the sign of the temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) via a multilayer paraelectric BST/buffer layer/ferroelectric BST coplanar device structure. To realize this multilayer device structure we have designed, fabricated, and optimized a 10 mol% Al doped Ta2O5 barrier layer with low loss (tan δ = 0.004), moderate permittivity (εr = 42.8), low TCC (-20 ppm/°C), and a low bias stability of capacitance (0.4%). The thin film integration of the barrier layer with the BST layers was optimized for structure, microstructure, interfacial/surface morphology, and dielectric properties as a function of Al doping concentration, annealing temperature, material growth and integration process parameters.

This effort examines the potential impact of introducing autonomous mobility to control manned vehicles while operators performed secure mobility. Eleven Soldiers participated in an experimental task requiring concurrent control of a manned and an unmanned Stryker performing a road march, scanning of the local environment for targets, and planning of a reconnaissance route for a third simulated asset. The control of the manned vehicle was varied between autonomous and manual control and several speed and accuracy variables were examined for each task. Subjective measures of operator workload, stress, and motion sickness were also examined. The results support the potential benefits of incorporating autonomous mobility into manned platforms. In speed-matched conditions, autonomous mobility was associated with decreased manned vehicle mission time, faster operator reaction times to targets, greater instances of multitasking while under motion, and lower subjective operator workload measures than with manual driving. In conclusion, autonomous mobility technologies have the potential to free up resources from the vehicle operator and allow for better operator performance on tasks other than vehicle control.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 27 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1393 EP - 1398 SN - 07307268 AB - Since World War I, trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the most commonly used explosive. Environmental contamination associated with synthesis, manufacture of weapons, and use during training exercises has been extensive, with soil concentrations reaching 145,000 mg/kg. Some of these areas include habitats for amphibian species. Earlier studies have shown that salamanders dermally absorb TNT from soil. To ascertain what soil concentrations of TNT are toxic to amphibians, red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) were exposed to one of five concentrations of TNT in soil for 28 d and evaluated for indicators of toxicity. A total of 100 salamanders were randomly sorted by weight and assigned to target TNT concentrations in soil of either 3,000, 1,500, 750, 325, or 0 mg/kg dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Survival was reduced in salamanders exposed to 1,500 and 3,000 mg/kg by 10 and 55%, respectively. Most mortality/morbidity occurred within the first week of exposure. Salamanders had a reduction in hemoglobin at 750 mg/kg or greater and a reduction in red blood cell concentration at 1,500 mg/kg or greater. Food consumption was affected in salamanders at 750 mg/kg or greater; a reduction in body mass and liver glycogen content also occurred at and above this concentration. Splenic congestion also was observed in salamanders from these groups. These data suggest that soil TNT concentrations of 373 ± 41.0 mg/kg or greater result in reduced body mass, reduced feed intake, and hematological effects.

The study aims to find out if elevated circulating hormones regulate the signaling response of RE due to Akt. It is participated by seven healthy men who executed lower-body RE protocols particularly knee extensions for three weeks. It includes RE protocols which contain low-circulating hormonal concentration (LHC) trial, high-volume upper-body, and high-circulating hormonal concentration (HHC) trial. The study finds out that HHC trial has greater growth hormone (GH), ribosomal protein kinase, phosphorylation, glycogen synthase kinase-3², and cortisol concentrations than LHC trial.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 44 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 689 EP - 699 SN - 1093474X AB - Alluvial fans are continuously being developed for residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural uses in southern California. Development and alteration of alluvial fans need to consider the possibility of mud and debris flows from upstream mountain watersheds affected by fires. Accurate prediction of sediment yield (or hyper-concentrated sediment yield) is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general populace. This paper presents a model for the prediction of sediment yields that result from a combination of fire and subsequent storm events. The watersheds used in this analysis are located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California. A multiple regression analysis is first utilized to establish a fundamental statistical relationship for sediment yield as a function of relief ratio, drainage area, maximum 1-h rainfall intensity and fire factor using 45 years of data (1938-1983). In addition, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under fire conditions was developed and calibrated using 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data for the period 1984-2000. After calibration, this model was verified by applying it to provide a prediction of the sediment yields for the 2001-2002 fire events in southern California. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the estimated and measured sediment yields. The proposed method for sequence sediment yield prediction following fire events can be a useful tool to schedule cleanout operations for debris basins and to develop an emergency response strategy for the southern California region where plentiful sediment supplies exist and frequent fires occur.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 82 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 5664 EP - 5668 SN - 0022538X AB - Recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectors expressing homologous filoviral glycoproteins can completely protect rhesus monkeys against Marburg virus when administered after exposure and can partially protect macaques after challenge with Zaire ebolavirus. Here, we administered a VSV vector expressing the Sudan ebolavirus (SEBOV) glycoprotein to four rhesus macaques shortly after exposure to SEBOV. All four animals survived SEBOV challenge, while a control animal that received a nonspecific vector developed fulminant SEBOV hemorrhagic fever and succumbed. This is the first demonstration of complete postexposure protection against an Ebola virus in nonhuman primates and provides further evidence that postexposure vaccination may have utility in treating exposures to filoviruses.

JO - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences JF - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Y1 - 2008/06// VL - 1132 M3 - Article SP - 61 EP - 70 SN - 00778923 AB - Although the neuromuscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is one of the most intensively studied ion channels in the nervous system, the differential roles of fetal and adult subtypes of the nAChR under normal and pathological conditions are still incompletely defined. Until recently, no pharmacological tools distinguished between fetal and adult subtypes. Waglerin toxins (from snake venom) and αAS-conotoxins (from cone-snail venom) have provided such tools. Because these peptides were characterized by different research groups using different methods, we have: 1) more extensively tested their subtype selectivity, and 2) begun to explore how these peptides may be used in concert to elucidate expression patterns and functions of fetal and adult nAChRs. In heterologous expression systems and native tissues, Waglerin-1 and an αAS-conotoxin analog, αA-OIVA[K15N], are high-affinity, highly selective inhibitors of the adult and fetal muscle nAChRs, respectively. We have used the peptides and their fluorescent derivatives to explore the expression and function of the fetal and adult nAChR subtypes. While fluorescent derivatives of these peptides indicated a gradual transition from fetal to adult muscle nAChRs in mice during the first 2 weeks postnatal, we unexpectedly observed a steeper transition in functional expression in the mouse diaphragm muscle using electrophysiology. As a toolkit of pharmacological agents with complementary specificity, αA-OIVA[K15N] and Waglerin-1 should have further utility in determining the roles of fetal and adult nAChR subtypes in development, in mature tissues, and under pathological conditions.

The resonators are fabricated as clamped–clamped composite structures, and these structures have both lengthwise and widthwise curvatures induced by residual stresses. Harmonic piezoelectric actuations of these structures were considered in experiments and the spatial responses of these structures were studied. The spatial responses observed for different resonance excitations could not be explained by a previous model of these composite microresonators, where stepwise non-uniform properties along the length and rectangular cross-sections were considered. Here, a curved cross-section model is adopted to refine the previous model and the resulting predictions are found to compare better with the experimental observations. The results show that the cross-section curvature significantly affects the structural stiffness and response, and this is important to consider in system modeling.

JO - Integrated Ferroelectrics JF - Integrated Ferroelectrics Y1 - 2008/05/15/ VL - 100 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 SN - 10584587 AB - Lead Strontium Titanate ((Pb, Sr)TiO3, PST) thin films were epitaxially grown on (001) magnesium oxide (MgO), (001) lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3, LAO), and (110) neodymium gallate (NdGaO3, NGO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Microstructural studies revealed that the as-grown PST films are with excellent epitaxial quality. PST films on MgO and LAO substrates exhibit a tetragonal distortion whereas the films on NGO substrates show an orthorhombic distortion. Dielectric property measurements at 1.0 MHz revealed that the room temperature dielectric constant is about 1500 with an extra large dielectric tunability value of 65% at 50 kV/cm for the PST film on the MgO substrate, and dielectric constant of 3100 with a dielectric tunability value of 48% at 50 kV/cm for the PST film on the LAO substrate. PST films on NGO substrates show anisotropic in-plane dielectric properties due to the anisotropic in-plane strain. A high zero-field dielectric constant of 4220 with a dielectric tunability value of 59% at 50 KV/cm was achieved along the a-axis of the PST film on the NGO substrate. All the films show dielectric losses smaller than 0.01. These excellent results suggest the highly epitaxial PST thin films can be a good candidate for developing room temperature tunable microwave device applications.

Films were prepared by metalorganic solution deposition and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Rutherford back-scattering. The dielectric (100 kHz) and insulating properties were also measured. The film morphology and dielectric/insulating properties are thickness dependent, yet the best combination of properties was in films of 160 nm to 240 nm. These films had a moderate dielectric constant (∼300), low loss (∼ 0.029), good tunability (∼ 30%), and low leakage current (∼ 10- 8 A/cm2).

XRD results showed that LiBF3Cl has the same crystallographic structure as LiBF4 except for little difference in the lattice parameter. With a 3:7 (w/w) solvent blend of ethylene carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate, LiBF3Cl electrolyte was found to have lower liquidus temperature than LiBF4 analogue either due to its higher solubility or due to its higher tendency in forming a super-cooling solution, which was related to the less symmetry of BF3Cl− anion. Meanwhile, LiBF3Cl electrolyte displayed excellent ability in passivating Al at high potentials due to the similar chemical composition of LiBF3Cl and LiBF4. Most importantly, the LiBF3Cl electrolyte was superior to the LiBF4 electrolyte in facilitating the formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on graphite electrode, which not only increased Coulombic efficiencies of the SEI formation, but also prolonged cycle life of the Li-ion batteries. The merits above make LiBF3Cl very promising as an alternative lithium salt for the electrolyte of Li-ion batteries.

JO - JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute JF - JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute Y1 - 2008/05/07/ VL - 100 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 663 EP - 671 SN - 00278874 AB - Background Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, such as persistent organochlorine pesticides, has been suggested to increase the risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). Methods To study the relationship of POP exposure to TGCT risk, prediagnostic serum samples from 754 case subjects and 928 control subjects enrolled in the Servicemen's Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine Determinants Study were analyzed for cis-nonachlor, trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane, total chlordanes, β-hexachlorocyclohexane, mirex, p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p′-DDE), and p,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of TGCT overall and for the histological subgroups, seminoma and nonseminoma, were estimated using multivariable logistic regression. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results TGCT risk was statistically significantly associated with higher plasma levels of p,p′-DDE (for highest quartile [Q4] vs lowest quartile [Q1], OR = 1.71, 95% Cl = 1.23 to 2.38, Ptrend = .0002) and of two chlordane components, cis-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.56, 95% Cl = 1.11 to 2.18, Ptrend = .009) and trans-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.46, 95% Cl = 1.07 to 2.00, Ptrend = .026). Seminoma risk was statistically significantly associated with p,p′-DDE (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.91, 95% Cl = 1.22 to 2.99, Ptrend = .0008), cis-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.93, 95% Cl = 1.27 to 2.93, Ptrend = .0045), trans-nonachlor (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.72, 95% Cl = 1.11 to 2.67, Ptrend = .033), and a chlordane metabolite, oxychlordane (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.64, 95% Cl = 1.04 to 2.60, Ptrend = .048), whereas nonseminoma risk showed a statistically significant association with p,p′-DDE only (Q4 vs Q1, OR = 1.63, 95% Cl = 1.10 to 2.42, Ptrend = .0044). Conclusions Increased exposure to p,p′-DDE may be associated with the risk of both seminomatous and nonseminomatous TGCTs, whereas exposure to chlordane compounds and metabolites may be associated with the risk of seminoma. Because evidence suggests that TGCT is initiated in very early life, it is possible that exposure to these persistent organic pesticides during fetal life or via breast feeding may increase the risk of TGCT in young men.

The biosorbents were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TGA and surface area analysis. The extent of adsorption was found to be a function of the pH of the solution, contact time, sorbate concentration and adsorbent dose. The optimum pH was found to be 5.0. The adsorption of Ni (II) ions on CA was comparatively higher than CCCA and CCS. Adsorption of Ni (II) on to the biopolymers followed pseudo-second order kinetics. The equilibrium adsorption data for Ni (II) on CA, CCCA and CCS were fitted to Freundlich, and Langmuir Isotherms. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of the biosorbents (CA, CCCA and CCS), as obtained from Langmuir adsorption isotherm, was found to be 310.4, 222.2 and 254.3mg/g, respectively. Breakthrough curves were obtained for adsorption of Ni (II) on all the three adsorbents through column flow technique. The Ni (II) loaded biosorbents were regenerated using 0.1M EDTA solution.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 123 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 2513 EP - 2521 SN - 00014966 AB - The multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is extended to solve for acoustic wave scattering by very large objects with three-dimensional arbitrary shapes. Although the fast multipole method as the prototype of MLFMA was introduced to acoustics early, it has not been used to study acoustic problems with millions of unknowns. In this work, the MLFMA is applied to analyze the acoustic behavior for very large truncated ground with many trenches in order to investigate the approach for mitigating gun blast noise at proving grounds. The implementation of the MLFMA is based on the Nyström method to create matrix equations for the acoustic boundary integral equation. As the Nyström method has a simpler mechanism in the generation of far-interaction terms, which MLFMA acts on, the resulting scheme is more efficient than those based on the method of moments and the boundary element method (BEM). For near-interaction terms, the singular or near-singular integrals are evaluated using a robust technique, which differs from that in BEM. Due to the enhanced efficiency, the MLFMA can rapidly solve acoustic wave scattering problems with more than two million unknowns on workstations without involving parallel algorithms. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the performance of the MLFMA with report of consumed CPU time and memory usage.

Ten White Leghorn hens (>7 months, 1.2–1.8 kg) were administered phenyl-saligenin phosphate (PSP; 2.5 mg/kg; im), a dose reported to induce a 70% decrease in neurotoxic esterase (NTE) activity. Five of the hens were administered verapamil (7 mg/kg; im) for 4 days starting one day before PSP administration. Serum was isolated from blood collected by serial brachial venepuncture before PSP (day 0) administration and on days 3, 7 and 21 after PSP administration, each hen acting as its own control. Serum antibodies (IgG) to NF-L, NF-M, NF-H, MBP, and GFAP were assayed using an ELISA. There were no detectable levels of antibodies on days 0 and 3. IgG against all neural proteins were detected on days 7 and 21, with titer levels being significantly (p ≤0.05) higher in sera of hens receiving PSP only. Anti-NF-L titers were highest compared to those against NF-M, NF-H or MBP at 21 days. Titers of anti-NF-L and anti-MBP significantly (p ≤0.01) correlated with clinical scores at days 7 and 21. Detection of anti-NF and anti-MBP antibodies confirms the neuroaxonal degeneration accompanied by myelin loss reported in this model of OPIDN and the amelioration of neuropathy using verapamil. The detection of anti-GFAP antibodies suggests CNS involvement in OPIDN, since astrocytes are only found therein. This study demonstrates that detection of neuroantibodies can be used as biomarkers of neuropathy development and to monitor the amelioration resulting from therapeutic intervention. Together with biomarkers of exposure neuroantibodies can be used to monitor neuropathogenesis due to environmental or occupational exposures.

Using a preset rape scenario, scripts were elicited from a sample of 292 women and 125 men from the United States. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, including a content analysis of script themes as well as modeling analyses to examine gender differences in underlying latent structures. The findings confirm that, for both women and men, there is not a single rape script. However, when looking at latent structures, there is clear evidence of the diverging conceptualization of rape for women and men. Findings highlight how the Traditional Sexual Script continues to influence one’s understanding of cultural scenarios.

How would this change your method of teaching an introductory course in probability and statistics? At the United States Military Academy at West Point, wireless laptop computers have become a permanent part of the classroom and have changed our approach to teaching. Over the last five years, we have made a concerted effort to find the improve- ments technology has to offer and to steer clear of the pitfalls technology can bring to the classroom. Our method of teaching a calculus-based probability and statistics course has evolved into a data-oriented approach to understanding distributions. We present some methods we have developed that use spreadsheets and mathematical software systems to create an environment that helps students understand the foundations of probability theory and statistical inference.

The method is based on Jarratt’s fifth-order method (for simple roots) and it requires one evaluation of the function and three evaluations of the derivative. The informational efficiency of the method is the same as previously developed schemes of lower order. For the special case of double root, we found a family of fourth-order methods requiring one less derivative. Thus this family is more efficient than all others. All these methods require the knowledge of the multiplicity.

Respirator experiments were performed according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (NFICO2), standard European (ENFICO2), and a modified method of the European test (BFICO2) using full-facepiece air-purifying respirators and one air-purifying escape respirator. Bland-Altman statistics for determination of limits of agreement were applied to assess agreement among the various test methods. A considerable lack of agreement was found between NFICO2 and ENFICO2 methods and between BFICO2 and NFICO2 methods for average FICO2. The modified EN136 method produced FICO2 averages about 0.13% to 0.23% above unmodified EN136 values, but the agreement between methods was generally acceptable. These results demonstrate that NIOSH and European unmanned test methods for determining respirator average FICO2 concentrations produce different results for like respirators. However, the findings suggest that the ENFICO2 and BFICO2 unmanned methods could be used interchangeably for quantifying respirator FICO2 concentrations.

A retrospective review of the program from 1995 to 2006, a continuation of an earlier analysis from 1985–1994, was performed to describe the program and to summarize group A streptococcal (GAS) outbreaks identified through this program. Methods: Weekly incidence data and daily sentinel case data collected as part of the ARD surveillance program were analyzed in 2007 to report rates of ARD and GAS outbreaks over this 12-year period (1995–2006) for five participating Army sites. Results: Average ARD rates were consistently higher from 2000 to 2006 than from 1995 to 1999. Rate ratios of winter rates to summer rates were greater than 1.0 prior to 2000, but from 2000 to 2006, ratios were consistently near 1.0. Rheumatogenic M types were available for three of five outbreaks. Conclusions: Continuing high incidence of ARD in the military, re-emerging rheumatogenic M types, and a highly mobile military underscore the need for continued surveillance efforts. The continued employment of interventions with demonstrated effectiveness, such as chemoprophylaxis and basic preventive measures, is essential to reducing the burden of ARD.

The techniques include a first-principles, physiology-based (SCE- NARIO) model, a purely data-driven model, and a hybrid model that combines first-principles and data-driven components to provide an early, short-term (20-30 mm ahead) warning of an impending heat injury. Their performance is investigated using two distinct datasets, a Field study and a Laboratory study. The results indicate that, for up to a 30 mm prediction horizon, the purely data-driven model is the most accurate technique, followed by the hybrid. For this prediction horizon, the first-principles SCE. NARIO model produces root mean square prediction errors that are twice as large as those obtained with the other two techniques. Another important finding is that, if properly regularized and developed with representative data, data-driven and hybrid models can be made "portable" from individual to individual and across studies, thus significantly reducing the need for collecting developmental data and constructing and tuning individual-specific models.

Using multi-criteria decision analysis in combination with comparative risk assessment, a systematic and transparent framework can be created to integrate different types and sources of decision-relevant information. Although examples of decision analysis abound in the literature and academic efforts, its use within the practice of risk assessment and environmental management is still being established. This article provides an example of the use of decision analysis study that builds on a previous screening-level, comparative risk assessment of contaminated sediment from the New York/New Jersey harbor area. Using multi-criteria decision analysis, we explored the effect of different criteria weights, utility functions, and cost estimates on the ranking of seven contaminated sediment management alternatives. Values used in weighting decision criteria were surveyed from two interaction sessions with sediment management professionals.

T1 - TOXICITY OF ORAL EXPOSURE TO 2,4,6-TRINITROTOLUENE IN THE WESTERN FENCE LIZARD (SCELOPORUS OCCIDENTALIS). JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 27 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1102 EP - 1111 SN - 07307268 AB - Contamination of the soil with the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been found at military sites, many of which are habitats used by reptiles. To provide data useful in assessing ecological risk for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted with the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Oral median lethal dose (LD50) values for TNT in corn oil were 1,038 and 1,579 mg/kg of body weight for male and female lizards, respectively. Overt signs of toxicity included chromaturia, abdominal enlargement, and tremors. A 14-d subacute study followed in which male lizards were orally dosed with TNT (corn oil) at 0, 33, 66, 132, 263, 525, and 1,050 mg/kg of body weight each day. Clinical signs of toxicity, while similar to the LD50 study, were more subtle and noted in lizards receiving TNT amounts of at least 66 mg/kg/d. Chromaturia was an early consistent sign, often preceding the onset of adverse effects. Male lizards in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 3, 15, 25, 35, and 45 mg/kg/d with nearly complete survival (>90%) for lizards in all treatments. Changes in food consumption and body weight were observed at 35 and 45 mg/kg/d. Alterations in hematological end points; blood chemistries (albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, calcium); kidney, spleen, and liver weights; and adverse histopathology were observed in lizards exposed at 25 to 45 mg/kg/d. Testosterone concentration, sperm count, and motility were variable between treatments. Although not significant, incidences of hypospermia and testicular atrophy were observed in some individuals. Together, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 25 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 15 mg/kg/d in S. occidentalis.

The current study was completed to validate this new technology. A similar projectile was modeled, using high-performance fluid dynamic computations and 6 degree-of-freedom trajectory simulations, to determine the projectile's flight characteristics before being flown in the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Aerodynamic Experimental Facility. A flight test was designed using this asymmetric lift to produce roll torque. Analysis of the flight data determined that the projectiles with pins developed the expected rolling moments. Computations were completed after the range test on the experimental model for computational validation.

JO - Influenza & Other Respiratory Viruses JF - Influenza & Other Respiratory Viruses Y1 - 2008/05// VL - 2 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 107 EP - 113 SN - 17502640 AB - Background Minimal influenza surveillance has been carried out in sub-Saharan Africa to provide information on circulating influenza subtypes for the purpose of vaccine production and monitoring trends in virus spread and mutations. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate a surveillance program in Kenya to isolate and characterize influenza viruses. Results In the 2006–2007 influenza season, nine influenza A viruses were isolated. All were of H3N2 subtype with key amino acid (aa) changes indicating that they were more closely related to recent World Health Organization recommended vaccine strains than to older vaccine strains, and mirroring the evolution of circulating influenza A globally. Hemagglutination inhibition data showed that the 2006 Kenya isolates had titers identical to the 2005 –2006 H3N2 vaccine strain but two- to threefold lower titers to the 2006 –2007 vaccine strain, suggesting that the isolates were antigenic variants of the 2006 –2007 vaccine strains. Analysis of aa substitutions of hemagglutinin-1 (HA1) protein of the 2006 Kenyan viruses revealed unique genetic variations with several aa substitutions located at immunodominant epitopes of the HA1 protein. These mutations included the V112I change at site E, the K 173 E substitution at site D and N 278 K change at site C, mutations that may result in conformational change on the HA molecule to expose novel epitopes thus abrogating binding of pre-existing antibodies at these sites. Conclusion Characterization of these important genetic variations in influenza A viruses isolated from Kenya highlights the importance of continuing surveillance and characterization of emerging influenza drift variants in sub-Saharan Africa.

JO - Journal of Software Maintenance & Evolution: Research & Practice JF - Journal of Software Maintenance & Evolution: Research & Practice Y1 - 2008/05//May/Jun2008 VL - 20 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 171 EP - 197 SN - 1532060X AB - Empirical studies have shown complexity metrics to be good predictors of testing effort and maintainability in traditional, imperative programming languages. Empirical validation studies have also shown that complexity is a good predictor of initial quality and reliability in object-oriented (OO) software. To date, one of the most empirically validated OO complexity metrics is the Chidamber and Kemerer Weighted Methods in a Class (WMC). However, there are many more OO complexity metrics whose predictive power has not been as extensively explored. In this study, we explore the predictive ability of several complexity-related metrics for OO software that have not been heavily validated. We do this by exploring their ability to measure quality in an evolutionary software process, by correlating these metrics to defect data for six versions of Rhino, an open-source implementation of JavaScript written in Java. Using statistical techniques such as Spearman's correlation, principal component analysis, binary logistic regression models and their respective validations, we show that some lesser known complexity metrics including Michura et al.'s standard deviation method complexity and Etzkorn et al.'s average method complexity are more consistent predictors of OO quality than any variant of the Chidamber and Kemerer WMC metric. We also show that these metrics are useful in identifying fault-prone classes in software developed using highly iterative or agile software development processes.

Incorporating a biosensing element within a microfluidic platform enables rapid and reliable determinations of lead at trace levels. A microchip-based lead sensor is described here that employs a lead-specific DNAzyme (also called catalytic DNA or deoxyribozyme) as a recognition element that cleaves its complementary substrate DNA strand only in the presence of cationic lead (Pb2+). Fluorescent tags on the DNAzyme translate the cleavage events to measurable, optical signals proportional to Pb2+ concentration. The DNAzyme responds sensitively and selectively to Pb2+, and immobilizing DNAzyme in the sensor permits both sensor regeneration and localization of the detection zone. Here, the DNAzyme has been immobilized on a PMMA surface using the highly specific biotin–streptavidin interaction. The strategy includes using streptavidin physisorbed on a PMMA surface to immobilize DNAzyme both on planar PMMA and on the walls of a PMMA microfluidic device. The immobilized DNAzyme retains its Pb2+ detection activity in the microfluidic device and can be regenerated and reused. The DNAzyme shows no response to other common metal cations and the presence of these contaminants does not interfere with the lead-induced fluorescence signal. While prior work has shown lead-specific catalytic DNA can be used in its solubilized form and while attached to gold substrates to quantitate Pb2+ in solution, this is the first use of the DNAzyme immobilized within a microfluidic platform for real time Pb2+ detection.

The results of both the IRRAS and the PM-IRRAS indicated that the -helix and the -sheet conformations in OPAA were parallel to the air−water interface at a surface pressure of 0 mN·m-1in the absence of DFP in the subphase. When the surface pressure increased, the -helix and the -sheet conformations became tilted. When DFP was added to the subphase at a concentration of 1.1 × 10-5M, the -helix conformation of OPAA was still parallel to the air−water interface, whereas the -sheet conformation was perpendicular at 0 mN·m-1. The orientations of both the -helix and the -sheet conformations did not change with the increase of surface pressure. The shape of OPAA molecules is supposed to be elliptic, and the long axis of OPAA was parallel to the air−water interface in the absence of DFP in the subphase, whereas the long axis became perpendicular in the presence of DFP. This result explains the decrease of the limiting molecular area of the OPAA Langmuir monolayer when DFP was dissolved in the subphase.

This missile consists of an outer boost vehicle and an inner center body vehicle. Upon completion of the boost phase the two bodies separate as a result of differing aerodynamic loads applied to each body and the thrust from a sustainer motor contained within the center body. Through simulation, the separation event was evaluated for interaction between the two bodies as a function of flight-path-angle, interstage pressure, sustainer motor thrusting force, thrust misalignment angles, and radial clearance. The impact and friction forces created by any interaction were evaluated and their effects on the separation event were quantified. The flight characteristics of the center body after the separation event were also calculated for use in determination of the missile flight profile. Finally, recommendations are made regarding the design and performance conditions for the specific two-body missile addressed in this study.

Recently, reproducible (from substrate-to-substrate), spatially homogeneous (over large areas) SERS-active substrates have been commercialized and are now available in the marketplace. We have utilized these patterned surfaces to acquire SERS spectral signatures of intact bovine papular stomatitis, pseudocowpox, and Yaba monkey tumor viruses. Salient spectral signature features make it possible to discriminate among these genetically distinct Poxviridae-Chordopoxvirinae virions. In addition, partial least-squares, a multivariate calibration method, has been used to develop personal computer-borne algorithms useful for classification of unknown Parapoxvirus (e.g., bovine papular stomatitis virus and pseudocowpox virus) samples based solely on SERS spectral signatures. To our knowledge, this is the first report detailing application of these commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) SERS-active substrates to identification of intact poxviruses.

The results of our evaluations reveal different advantages for sensors constructed by each method: improved sensitivity and shorter manufacturing time for hand-casting, and increased reproducibility for electropolymerization. We have acquired amperometric approach curves (ACs) for each type of manufactured biosensor UME, and these ACs can be used as a means of positioning the UME above a substrate at a known distance. We have used the glucose biosensor UMEs to record profiles of glucose uptake above individual fibroblasts. Likewise, we have employed the lactate biosensor UMEs for recording the lactate production above single cancer cells with the SECM. We also show that oxygen respiration profiles for single cancer cells do not mimic cell topography, but are rather more convoluted, with a higher respiration activity observed at the points where the cell touches the Petri dish. These UME biosensors, along with the application of others already described in the literature, could prove to be powerful tools for mapping metabolic analytes, such as glucose, lactate, and oxygen, in single cancer cells.

Our approach consists of initial sampling of loop conformations from lattice-based low-resolution models followed by refinement using all-atom simulations. To allow enhanced conformational sampling, the replica exchange method was implemented. Physical energy functions based on CHARMM19 and CHARMM22 parameterizations with generalized Born (GB) solvent models were applied in scoring loop conformations extracted from the lattice simulations and, in the case of all-atom simulations, the ensemble of conformations were generated and scored with these models. Predictions are reported for 25 loop segments, each eight residues long and taken from a diverse set of 22 protein structures. We find that the simulations generally sampled conformations with low global root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD) for loop backbone coordinates from the known structures, whereas clustering conformations in RMSD space and scoring detected less favorable loop structures. Specifically, the lattice simulations sampled basins that exhibited an average global RMSD of 2.21 ± 1.42 Å, whereas clustering and scoring the loop conformations determined an RMSD of 3.72 ± 1.91 Å. Using CHARMM19/GB to refine the lattice conformations improved the sampling RMSD to 1.57 ± 0.98 Å and detection to 2.58 ± 1.48 Å. We found that further improvement could be gained from extending the upper temperature in the all-atom refinement from 400 to 800 K, where the results typically yield a reduction of ∼ 1 Å or greater in the RMSD of the detected loop. Overall, CHARMM19 with a simple pairwise GB solvent model is more efficient at sampling low-RMSD loop basins than CHARMM22 with a higher-resolution modified analytical GB model; however, the latter simulation method provides a more accurate description of the all-atom energy surface, yet demands a much greater computational cost. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We introduce the k-reinforcement number of a graph as the smallest number of edges that have to be added to a graph to reduce the domination number by k. We present an dynamic programming algorithm for computing the maximum number of vertices that can be dominated using dominators for trees. A corollary of this is a linear-time algorithm for computing the k-reinforcement number of a tree. We also discuss extensions and related problems.

In this study the investigation is extended to include chioro- and bromoaziridines. Because syntheses are largely performed in the condensed phase, the present computational investigation [(MP2(Full)/6-3 II ++G- (d,p)//MP2(FulI)/6-3 I +G(d) levell was conducted with three typical solvents that cover a wide range of polarity: THF, CH3CN, and H20. Nucleophiles can react with haloaziridines 1 by displacing a substituted amide ion by means of an SN2 mechanism (pathway a), producing 1,2-diaminohaloethanes (from the initially formed dipolar species 2). Alternatively, a rearrangement mechanism involving rate-determining departure of a halide ion (pathway b) to form an imidoyl halide, 3, is possible. Transition-state theory was used to compute relative reaction rates of these mechanistic possibilities and to assess the role of the halogen substituents and the reaction solvent. Gas-phase results provided the basis of mechanistic insights that were more apparent in the absence of intermolecular interactions. Fluoroaziridines were found to react at accelerated rates relative to aziridine exclusively by means of the a Menshutkin-type mechanism (SN2) in each solvent tested,. while the reactions of the chioro- and bromoaziridines could be directed toward 2 in the highly nonpolar solvent, cyclohexane, or toward 3 in the more polar solvents. An assessment is made of the feasibility of using this chemistry of the haloazirdines in the synthetic laboratory.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology JF - IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems for Video Technology Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 18 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 497 EP - 509 SN - 10518215 AB - Recently, among various data hiding techniques, a new subset, lossless data hiding, has received increasing interest. Most of the existing lossless data hiding algorithms are, however, fragile in the sense that the hidden data cannot be extracted out correctly after compression or other incidental alteration has been applied to the stego-image. The only existing semi-fragile (referred to as robust in this paper) lossless data hiding technique, which is robust against high-quality JPEG compression, is based on modulo-256 addition to achieve losslessness. In this paper, we first point out that this technique has suffered from the annoying salt-and-pepper noise caused by using modulo-256 addition to prevent overflow/underflow. We then propose a novel robust lossless data hiding technique, which does not generate salt-and-pepper noise. By identifying a robust statistical quantity based on the patchwork theory and employing it to embed data, differentiating the bit-embedding process based on the pixel group's distribution characteristics, and using error correction codes and permutation scheme, this technique has achieved both losslessness and robustness. It has been successfully applied to many images, thus demonstrating its generality. The experimental results show that the high visual quality of stego-images, the data embedding capacity, and the robustness of the proposed lossless data hiding scheme against compression are acceptable for many applications, including semi-fragile image authentication. Specifically, it has been successfully applied to authenticate losslessly compressed JPEG2000 images, followed by possible transcoding. It is expected that this new robust lossless data hiding algorithm can be readily applied in the medical field, law enforcement, remote sensing and other areas, where the recovery of original images is desired.

Additionally, a number of concerns have arisen about mental training effectiveness, and its ability to maximize athlete development, performance, and peaking. Periodization is a systematic program development and implementation strategy that holds promise for enhancing mental training effectiveness and combating some of the problems currently limiting MST interventions. Thus, the purpose of this conceptual paper was threefold. First, periodization concepts are introduced by demonstrating how they are utilized to systematically guide physical training. Second, strategies to adapt periodization concepts to enhance mental training programs are examined, along with techniques to integrate physical and mental training, including: mental training tool and skill periodization plans and mental training drill menus. Finally, a case study is presented to illustrate how an integrated approach to periodized training that targets both physical and mental skill development can enhance the effectiveness of MST while minimizing implementation problems.

Shinseki of publicly challenging administration policy in a way that "improvised in areas such as war-fighting and diplomacy beyond his official purview," contradicted the combatant commander, aided the French, abetted the Democrats, emboldened Saddam, and damaged American civil-military relations because it dismissed the policy makers' "right to be wrong." Shinseki did none of these things, including publicly challenging administration policy. This article will provide some historical corrective and context for this debate. It will examine Shinseki's options and argue that, rather than damaging civilian control, Shinseki protected it through acts of commission and omission, through forthrightness and restraint toward both sets of his civilian masters enumerated in the Constitution to control the military, the executive and legislative branches of government.

The authors suggest eight leadership tasks that come to the fore when the mental model of the military as a professional CAS is used to examine the circumstances that engulf military activities: relationship building, loose coupling, complicating, diversifying, sensemaking, learning, improvising, and emergent thinking. These are distinguished from the traditional tasks of role defining, standardization, simplifying, socializing, decision making, knowing, commanding and controlling, and planning based on estimates.

We previously used 15N NMR to investigate the reduction and binding of T15NT in aerobic bench -scale reactors simulating the conditions of windrow composting. These studies have been extended to 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4DNT) and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6DNT), which, as impurities in TNT, are usually present wherever soils have been contaminated with TNT. Liquid-state 15N NMR analyses of laboratory reactions between 4-methyl-3-nitroaniline-15N,the major monoamine reduction product of 2,4DNT, and the Elliot soil humic acid, both in the presence and absence of horseradish peroxidase, indicated that the amine underwent covalent binding with quinone and other carbonyl groups in the soil humic acid to form both heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic condensation products. Liquid-state 15N NMR analyses of the methanol extracts of 20 day aerobic bench-scale composts of 2,4-di-15N-nitrotoluene and 2,6-di-15N- nitrotoluene revealed the presence of nitrite and monoamine, but not diamine, reduction products, indicating the occurrence of both dioxygenase enzyme and reductive degradation pathways. Solid-state CP/MAS 15N NMR analyses of the whole composts, however, suggested that reduction to monoamines followed by covalent binding of the amines to organic matter was the predominant pathway.

In Experiments 1 and 2 participants read route and survey spatial descriptions while undertaking one of four secondary tasks targeting working memory components. Converging evidence from map drawing and statement verification tasks indicates that while articulatory mechanisms are involved in processing the language itself, visuospatial and central executive mechanisms are involved in developing spatial mental models, particularly during route description reading. In Experiments 3 and 4 participants undertook the same working memory tasks, but did so during testing; results from memory and secondary task performance converge to demonstrate that using spatial mental models is a visuospatially and centrally demanding process, particularly following route description learning. Taken together, results demonstrate that spatial mental model development and application are contingent upon multiple working memory systems and interact with representational formats.

JO - Applied Spectroscopy JF - Applied Spectroscopy Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 62 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 353 EP - 363 SN - 00037028 AB - Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a promising technique for real-time chemical and biological warfare agent detection in the field. We have demonstrated the detection and discrimination of the biological warfare agent surrogates Bacillus subtilis (BG) (2% false negatives, 0% false positives) and ovalbumin (0% false negatives, 1% false positives) at 20 meters using standoff laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (ST-LIBS) and linear correlation. Unknown interferent samples (not included in the model), samples on different substrates, and mixtures of BG and Arizona road dust have been classified with reasonable success using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). A few of the samples tested such as the soot (not included in the model) and the 25% BG:75% dust mixture resulted in a significant number of false positives or false negatives, respectively. Our preliminary results indicate that while LIBS is able to discriminate biomaterials with similar elemental compositions at standoff distances based on differences in key intensity ratios, further work is needed to reduce the number of false positives/negatives by refining the PLS-DA model to include a sufficient range of material classes and carefully selecting a detection threshold. In addition, we have demonstrated that LIBS can distinguish five different organophosphate nerve agent simulants at 20 meters, despite their similar stoichiometric formulas. Finally, a combined PLS-DA model for chemical, biological, and explosives detection using a single ST-LIBS sensor has been developed in order to demonstrate the potential of standoff LIBS for universal hazardous materials detection.

We first derive the bimaterial Green''s functions in terms of the Stroh formalism. We then discretize the boundary of the problem with constant elements for which the involved Green''s function kernels can be exactly integrated. Our bimaterial BEM program is finally applied to calculate the strain energy density and relative strain energy in free-standing/embedded InAs QWR on/in GaAs substrate. For a square InAs (111) QWR, it is found that the magnitude of the relative strain energy increases with increasing depth of the QWR with respect to the surface of the GaAs (111) substrate. For an isosceles triangle of InAs (111) QWR free-standing on the surface of the GaAs (111) substrate, we found that the magnitude of the relative strain energy increases with increasing base angle of the triangle QWR. Strain energy density inside the InAs QWR is also plotted to show its strong dependence on the QWR shape. These results could be useful to the control of the QWR shape and size in epitaxial growth [Copyright &y& Elsevier] AB - Copyright of Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements is the property of Elsevier Science and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

A secondary goal was to examine the item-level characteristics of both the PC-PTSD and the PCL. A validation study conducted with a sample of 352 service members showed that both the PC-PTSD and PCL had good diagnostic efficiency. The overall diagnostic efficiency assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) was virtually the same for both the PC-PTSD and PCL. The most efficient cutoff values for the PC-PTSD were either 2 or 3 "yes" responses with the latter favoring specificity. For the PCL, the most efficient cutoff values were between 30 and 34, mirroring recommended PCL cutoff values from some studies in primary care settings. The examination of item characteristics suggested a 4-item PCL with an AUC virtually identical to that of the full PCL. Item analyses also identified that the most discriminate item in both scales pertained to symptoms of avoidance. Implications and limitations are discussed.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 27 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 933 EP - 944 SN - 07307268 AB - Sublethal test methods are being used with increasing frequency to measure sediment toxicity, but little is known about the relative sensitivity of these tests compared to the more commonly used acute tests. The present study was conducted to compare the sensitivity of several acute and sublethal methods and to investigate their correlations with sediment chemistry and benthic community condition. Six sublethal methods (amphipod: Leptocheirus plumulosus survival, growth, and reproduction; polychaete: Neanthes arenaceodentata survival and growth; benthic copepod: Amphiascus tenuiremis life cycle; seed clam: Mercenaria mercenaria growth; oyster: Crassostrea virginica lysosome destabilization; and sediment-water interface testing with mussel embryos, Mytilus galloprovincialis) and two acute methods (amphipod survival with Eohaustorius estuarius and L. plumulosus) were used to test split sediment samples from stations in California. The test with Amphiascus proved to be the most sensitive sublethal test and the most sensitive overall, identifying 90% of the stations as toxic. The Leptocheirus 10-d test was the most sensitive of the acute tests, identifying 60% of the stations as toxic. In general, the sublethal tests were not more sensitive to sediments than the acute tests, with the sublethal tests finding an average of 35% of the stations to be toxic while the acute found 44%. Of the sublethal tests, only the Amphiascus endpoints and Neanthes growth significantly (p ≤ 0.05) correlated with sediment chemical concentrations. Poor correspondence occurred between the toxicity endpoints and the indicators of benthic community condition. Differences in test characteristics such as mode of exposure, species-specific contaminant sensitivity, changes in contaminant bioavailability, and influence of noncontaminant stressors on the benthos may have been responsible for variation in response among the tests and low correspondence with benthic community condition. The influence of these factors cannot be easily predicted, underscoring the need to use multiple toxicity methods, in combination with other lines of evidence, to provide an accurate and confident assessment of sediment toxicity.

The Modified Career Path Appreciation (MCPA) survey was administered to seventy participants at the beginning of their graduate program in strategic studies and at the completion of the program.

The analytical formulation is based on the ellipsoidal coordinate system that is able to model real 3-D geometries as opposed to bodies of revolutions like within a spheroidal approach. At the frequencies of interest (tens of hertz to hundreds of kilohertz), conduction currents in the soil are negligible, and the fields are computed in the magnetoquasistatic regime based on the Laplace equation. Inside the objects, where the wave equation governs the field distribution, the currents are assumed to have a small penetration depth, allowing for the analytical simplification of the field components, which become decoupled at the surface. This approximation, which is valid across the entire frequency spectrum because of the high permeability and conductivity, avoids the necessity of using ellipsoidal wave functions and results in a considerable saving of computational time. Numerical results favorably compare with numerical and experimental data, which proves the usefulness of our method to model UXOs in clutter-contaminated soils. Finally, the optimization approach used to match our numerical predictions with experimental data demonstrates the possibility of remotely inferring the material properties of objects.

Below 0 °C, aqueous-based decontamination solutions or their components can freeze, rendering them inactive and difficult to handle. Moreover, rates of neutralization will be dramatically slower than at normal room temperature. In a series of replicated laboratory studies, we quantified the efficacy of an emerging decontamination solution, DECON Green, against the VX nerve-agent simulant bis-(2-ethyl hexyl) phosphite and the HD mustard agent simulant 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide. The efficacy of the DECON Green formulations was tested at 4, −5 and −15 °C using both contact-hazard assessments and mass balance approaches. Contact-hazard assessments simulated the transfer of simulant to skin. The mass balance approach addressed the fate of simulant by quantifying recovery following each step of the decontamination process. Two formulations of DECON Green were investigated: the “standard” formulation, New DECON Green, and the “cold weather” formulation, CA2WT. Simulants were spread on chemical-agent-resistant-coating-treated aluminum disks (CARC coupons). The CARC coupons were subsequently decontaminated using standard U.S. Army operating procedures. At all temperatures investigated, sequential contact hazards of the simulant were three to four times lower in concentration for the mustard simulant and nerve-agent simulant, respectively, following the application of DECON Green and washing than without DECON Green or without washing. The mass balance data showed that washing with a propylene glycol:H2O solution was an important part of the decontamination process. DECON Green both degraded the simulants and increased the simulants removed during washing. These findings indicate that at both −5 and −15 °C, temperatures at which water-based procedures would be problematic, the cold-formula DECON Green plus washing with propylene glycol:H2O was effective at reducing surface contact hazards from the two chemical agent simulants.

This experimental program quantified the reduction in adhesion that resulted when ice phobic coatings were applied to test coupons that simulated the bracket surface. Double lap shear testing of coated and uncoated coupons provided robust test specimens and consistent load response patterns with exceptional resolution. Ice was grown as strong and consistently as possible for these tests and then subjected to temperature decreases comparable to those of the bracket. All tests were conducted at a constant temperature of −112 °C (−170 °F) and included uncoated controls with each group of samples. The program evolved in three phases. Phase 1 evaluated a wide range of coatings, and showed that Rain-X mixed with MP-55 powdered Teflon (RXM) was an outstanding coating to reduce ice adhesion to Koropon coated aluminum. Coating material retained on the ice surface following each test indicated failure in the coating and the potential for loss of effectiveness with repeated ice formation and release. Phase 2 evaluated modifications to RXM that might enhance durability while maintaining effectiveness. However, the modified mixtures did not improve coating durability or ice release. Phase 3 focused on the effects of mixing method, cure time, wiping off of excess coating, and coating resistance to weathering by water. A progressive coating loss again occurred through repeat test cycles, but performance generally improved. Results also indicated that cure times longer than 1.5 h prior to coating disturbance are needed for optimal performance. The MP-55 remaining on coupon surfaces after 3 cycles of testing and on one untested coupon from the same group was measured with XPS. The tested coupons retained slightly less MP-55 than the untested coupon, confirming the loss of coating. Contact angle analysis of these same coupons showed that the hydrophobic performance of the tested surfaces was largely preserved. Scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive spectroscopy elemental map indicated that the MP-55 was evenly dispersed throughout the coated surface, and abrasive wiping did not remove a significant portion of the Teflon. Test results suggest follow-up studies to refine the optimal coating formulation, mixing and application procedures, and understanding of reaction processes, cure time, and coating durability. Double lap shear testing and XPS analysis can quantify ice adhesion and coating profile thickness changes with cycling, and is capable of resolving these remaining issues.

Because of the difficulty and expense in large-scale experiments, a finite element analysis was desired for the detailed study of thaw weakening. Neither a material model for thawing soil behavior nor detailed test data for large strains on thaw-weakened soil were available. Therefore, both were developed and are presented here. The material model must be capable of capturing the major behaviors of thawing soil subjected to rapid loading from vehicles in a near-surface condition. A common subgrade soil from New England, which was used in experimental studies of full-scale road sections, was chosen to represent a typical frost-susceptible silty sand. The soil was subjected to a suite of saturated and unsaturated triaxial testing, duplicating the conditions measured during thaw. The triaxial test data was used to calibrate a modified Capped Drucker–Prager plasticity model. The thawed soil material model was validated using independent test data of direct shear on thawed samples. The validated model was then implemented in application simulations of moving vehicle loads (a rolling wheel) on paved and unpaved roads with freeze–thaw layering.

T1 - Continuous mapping of distributed snow depth for mobility models using shaped solutions JO - Cold Regions Science & Technology JF - Cold Regions Science & Technology Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 52 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 155 EP - 165 SN - 0165232X AB - Abstract: High-resolution ground vehicle mobility models are used by the U.S. Army to investigate new vehicle concepts, conduct force-on-force simulations, and–in the future–support terrain analysis for battle planning. Use of these models in winter conditions requires a method to realistically represent the distribution of snow depth and density over a landscape. The objective of this work was to develop a method to use a recently identified pinched-cone-shaped solution domain to map snow properties. The method was developed with stringent computational and data storage efficiency requirements in mind and is demonstrated by mapping snow depth on the Ethan Allen Firing Range in northern Vermont, USA. The pinched-cone-shaped plots in a cylindrical coordinate system r = F(θ,z) where the no-slope snow depth is taken as the vertex (0,0), the radii (r) represent the snow depth relative to the no-slope case, and r is a function of azimuth (θ) and terrain slope (z). The pinched-cone equation uses a circular function with one or two coefficients that describe the slope-azimuth-dependent expansion of the pinched cone as snow depth differentiation increases with increased terrain slope. Equations that relate the expansion coefficients and no-slope snow depth to elevation then permit continuous mapping of snow depth with respect to terrain slope, azimuth, and elevation. The mapping is applied within five forest categories (open, sparse, deciduous, mixed, and conifer). The influence of snow depth and terrain slope on vehicle speed predictions is illustrated.

A predictable soil–snow–microbial system could promote or sustain native or introduced microbial activity during periods of snow cover or preserve and preposition viable but inactive microorganisms until conditions become favorable for growth. Knowledge of these manipulations could result in strategies to target desired soil microbial processes. Potential applications include bioremediation and decontamination. We hypothesized that population dynamics at the snow–soil interface would be a determinant in the growth and survival of an introduced species and that the microbial community would not be static. Using replicated field studies, we characterized native microbial populations in a local soil with and without snow cover using molecular-based taxonomic methods. We introduced the bacterial species Bacillus thuringiensis to the soil prior to snowfall and to the snow covering following snowfall. As competition, we also added Pseudomonas syringae to the snow in selected treatments. During a single winter and into the spring, we periodically sampled the snow–soil interface to characterize the prevailing microbial populations. Results showed that micro-eukaryotes, either protists or fungi, increased significantly under snow. P. syringae survival and growth was detected for up to 80 days post-inoculation to snow. B. thuringiensis, added as endospores, remained and survived mainly in the endospore state.

The value of vasopressin in the setting of trauma requires further investigation. It was concluded that a large, multicenter controlled trial of vasopressin is needed to assess the therapeutic benefit of vasopressin replacement in the setting of trauma with haemorrhagic shock that is prolonged and profound.

SN - 01465422 AB - This article focuses on Web sites and open source databases featuring contemporary U.S. military and defense information. Information professionals, especially those familiar with the .S. Department of Defense or its agencies, realize that large amount of military and defense-related information, once freely available on the World Wide Web, is no longer accessible. The demand for increased operational security amid the potential for further terrorist attacks as well as the need to reduce the vulnerability of troops deployed in operations has led the defense establishment to put an emphasis on information posted publicly on the Web. Nevertheless, the amount of quality content still available online in the form of full-text papers, theses, monographs, and data sets allegedly remains extensive. Apparently, military gateways make excellent starting points for exploring the defense information sector. The small sample of authoritative directories can help one quickly see the entire spectrum of defense-related information, ranging from full-text reports to doctrine and lessons learned, from subject bibliographies and citation indexes to force structure tables and budget figures, from military maps and photos to weapons and equipment capabilities.

Cold exposure often induces HYP, but the combined effects of cold and HYP on cognitive performance are unknown. This study investigated whether HYP degrades cognitive performance during cold exposure and if physical exercise could mitigate any cold-induced performance decline. On four occasions, eight volunteers completed one hour of militarily-relevant cognitive testing: 30 min of simulated sentry duty/marksmanship, 20 min of a visual vigilance task, a self-report workload assessment, and a mood questionnaire. Testing was conducted in a cold (2 °C) or temperate (20 °C) environment before and after cycle ergometer (60 min at 60% of VO2peak) exercise. Each trial was preceded by 3 h of passive heat stress (45 °C) in the early morning with (euhydration, EUH) or without (hypohydration, HYP; 3% body mass) fluid replacement followed by prolonged recovery. HYP did not alter any cognitive, psychomotor, or self-report parameter in either environment before or after exercise. Cold exposure increased (p <0.05) target detection latency in the sentry duty task, adversely affected mood and workload ratings, but had no impact on any other cognitive or psychomotor measure. After completing the exercise bout, there were modest improvements in friend–foe discrimination and total response latency in the sentry duty task, but not on any other performance measures. Moderate HYP had no effect on cognitive and psychomotor performance in either environment, cold exposure produced equivocal effects, and aerobic exercise improved some aspects of military task performance.

The extent of substrate damage with increasing projectile velocity was imaged and analyzed using optical and scanning electron microscopy, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods such as pulsed thermography, and computed tomography. The impacted specimens were tensile tested at room temperature to determine their residual mechanical properties. Results indicate that at 115m/s projectile velocity, the composite showed no noticeable surface or internal damage and retained its as-fabricated mechanical properties. As the projectile velocity increased above this value, the internal damage increased and mechanical properties degraded. At velocities >300m/s, the projectile penetrated through the composite, but the composite retained ∼50% of the ultimate tensile strength of the as-fabricated composite and exhibited non-brittle failure. Predominant internal damages are delamination of fiber plies, fiber fracture and matrix shearing.

The composites were fabricated by melt infiltration and the EBC was deposited by plasma spray. Impact tests were conducted at room temperature and at 1316°C in air using 1.59mm diameter steel-balls at projectile velocities ranging from 110 to 375m/s. Both microscopy and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods were used to determine the extent of damage in the substrate and coating with increasing projectile velocity. The impacted specimens were tensile tested at room temperature to determine their residual mechanical properties. At projectile velocities less than 125m/s, no detectable internal damage was noticed in the MI SiC/SiC composites coated with 525μm EBC. With increase in projectile velocity beyond this value, spallation of EBC layers, delamination of fiber plies, and fiber fracture were detected. At a fixed projectile velocity, the composites coated with 525μm EBC showed less damage than those coated with 225μm EBC. Both types of coated composites retained a large fraction of the baseline properties of the as-fabricated composites and exhibited non-brittle failure after impact testing. Furnace exposure of impacted specimens in a moisture environment at 1316°C for 500h indicated that the through-the-thickness cracks in the coating and delamination cracks in the substrate generated after impact testing acted as conduits for internal oxidation.

In order to sustain training lands, soil erosion is of major concern. Thus there is a need for sampling designs to monitor degradation and recovery of land conditions. Traditionally, permanent plots are used to obtain the change of land conditions. However, the permanent plots often provide less information over time in characterizing the land conditions because of the fixed number and locations of plots. In this paper, we analyzed the sufficiency of a permanent plot sample and developed a method to improve the re-measurements of the permanent plots over time for a monitoring system of soil erosion based on spatial and temporal variability of a random function. We first applied a local variability based sampling method to generate reference samples that have sampling distances varying spatially and temporally to monitor a soil erosion relevant cover factor for an installation, Fort Riley, USA. Then, we compared a permanent sample with the reference samples annually over 13 years to determine additional sampling in the areas with high variability and temporarily suspending measurements of the permanent plots in the areas with low variability. The local variability based sampling provides estimates of local variability of the cover factor and thus is more cost-efficient than random sampling. By comparison with a reference samples, the re-measurements obtained should more accurately characterize the dynamics of the land conditions.

Using Mtb CDC1551, we confirmed that the inbred rabbits allowed establishment of infection with this low virulence strain, compared to poor establishment in outbred rabbits. With a more virulent strain, Mtb Erdman, that establishes infection well in both rabbit strains, we analyzed granulomas from rabbit lungs 5 weeks after aerosol infection. The lung granulomas of inbred rabbits had significantly higher frequencies of cells expressing MHC Class II and CD11b, and lower frequencies of CD8+ T cells than the outbred controls. Macrophage-sized cells expressing MHC Class II in inbred rabbit granulomas showed significantly decreased intensity of expression, suggesting impaired maturation. Although the inbred dermal tuberculin reactions were decreased, the in vitro IFN-γ mRNA responses of hilar node lymphocytes to tuberculin were higher than those of outbred rabbits. Further delineation of the outbred rabbit''s resistant immune response to Mtb infection is warranted.

In this study, powders of LaMgAl11O19, GdMgAl11O19, SmMgAl11O19, and Gd0.7Yb0.3MgAl11O19 magnetoplumbite oxides were synthesized by citric acid sol–gel method and hot-pressed into disk specimens. The thermal expansion coefficients (CTE) of these oxide materials were measured from room temperature to 1500 °C. The average CTE value was found to be ∼9.6×10−6/C. Thermal conductivity of these magnetoplumbite-based oxide materials was also evaluated using steady-state laser heat flux test method. The effects of doping on thermal properties were also examined. Thermal conductivity of the doped Gd0.7Yb0.3MgAl11O19 composition was found to be lower than that of the undoped GdMgAl11O19. In contrast, thermal expansion coefficient was found to be independent of the oxide composition and appears to be controlled by the magnetoplumbite crystal structure. Preliminary results of thermal conductivity testing at 1600 °C for LaMgAl11O19 and LaMnAl11O19 magnetoplumbite oxide coatings plasma-sprayed on NiCrAlY/Rene N5 superalloy substrates are also presented. The plasma-sprayed coatings did not sinter even at temperatures as high as 1600 °C.

To reduce head-supported weight and minimize center-of-mass offsets, a monocular optical design was selected. Although early design concerns of binocular rivalry and the Pulfrich phenomenon never materialized, user surveys have documented persistent reports of visual complaints and illusions in peacetime training flights. However, a recent evaluation conducted under battle conditions in Operation Iraqi Freedom found statistically lower reports of complaints and illusions. While these reported problems are short-term, questions have been raised regarding potential long-term physiological effects resulting from long-term use of this monocular display. A 10-year longitudinal study, currently underway in the U.K., has been implemented to definitively answer the question of whether long-term exposure produces any degradation in binocular visual function.

Very high efficiency of absorption of photons, most likely promoted by the specific orientation of LED elements in the reactor, was calculated based on the measured actinometry results. Generation of singlet oxygen mediated by nanoporous silicon under illumination by Ar+ laser, UV and green LEDs was demonstrated by indirect measurement of suppression of porous Si photoluminescence, and by direct measurements of singlet oxygen luminescence. The efficiency of reactor in singlet oxygen mediated reactions was tested using reaction of decomposition of diphenylbenzofuran. Estimated quantum yield of chemical reaction is about 34%.

During production, waste streams generated may contain small amounts of the energetic material. Knowing how this material may partition in the environment is beneficial to development of waste treatment technologies. Physicochemical parameters define how this partitioning will occur. While these parameters can be experimentally determined once suitable amounts of the energetic material are available for testing, the ability to predict these important properties using the structure of the energetic material will provide a means for assessing their environmental impact during the preliminary development stage. In this work, the chemical structures of six energetic materials are used to estimate their physicochemical parameters. These energetic materials have been identified by researchers at CERL as materials under consideration as energetics in short-term development or longer-term development, and include dinitroanisole (DNAN), n-methyl-p-nitroaniline (MNA), nitro-triazolene (NTO), triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB), dinitro pyrazole (DNP) and m-trinitro imidazole (MTNI).

In this paper, we present a new radio channel allocation (RCA) scheme for WLANs with multiple data rates. First, we propose a new algorithm to dynamically estimate the number of active stations by using the least square estimator (LSE), which is unbiased and has minimum variance. Second, we derive an expression to evaluate the impact of the co-channel stations of an AP on the channel utilization of the AP based on the number of equivalent co-channel stations, which is the difference between the numbers of stations that are sensed by and associated with the AP. Third, we develop a new distributed RCA (DRCA) that considers the changing number of active stations, the impact of co-channel interference (CCI), and different traffic demands for different APs, which have not been considered by the existing RCA schemes. Simulation results have demonstrated that DRCA quickly finds optimal or suboptimal channel assignments and improves overall channel utilization for about 15 ~ 50% for different AP layouts, as compared to the existing schemes.

The researchers allowed the twenty-two men participants to complete a 4-d baseline period (BL) of an energy balance diet while maintaining usual physical activity level. It was found out that increased dietary protein maintained nitrogen balance (NB) during exercise-induced energy deficit. However, this finding did not impact resting whole-body protein turnover.

T1 - Estimating elasticities with frontier and other regressions in evaluating two advertising strategies for US Army recruiting JO - Socio-Economic Planning Sciences JF - Socio-Economic Planning Sciences Y1 - 2008/03// VL - 42 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 SN - 00380121 AB - Abstract: To help resolve a long-standing debate in the US Government on advertising strategies for military recruitment, this study applies ordinary least squares (OLS), which here includes (1) stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and (2) frontierized least squares (FLS), to evaluate two distinct advertising strategies: Service Specific vs. Joint. Thus, in contrast to the customary use of a single central tendency method, such as OLS, on different models, we here use multiple methods on a single model to cross check and validate results. In addition to serving as cross checks, the methods can be used to identify classic problems, including biases in the data and shortcomings in one or more of the methodologies employed. To avoid dealing with problems on identifying motives underlying various patterns in advertising expenditure, data are drawn from a statistically designed experiment where the expenditures were controlled as part of the experiment to resolve the issue of a choice between the two advertising strategies of interest. In contrast to earlier studies, the current paper finds that all methods used lead to the same conclusion: Service Specific is more efficient than Joint, at least for the US Army—which is, by far, the largest military advertiser. Finally, the paper introduces a new method for reallocating advertising budgets between the Uniformed Services which (a) is simpler than the customary use of cross partial derivatives, (b) avoids the need for the ceteris paribus assumptions for each such allocation, as in customary reallocation methods and (c) simplifies matters so that, for instance, it is not necessary to introduce an entirely new organization to administer the desired coordinating activities.

This study examined the effects of short-term moderate Zn restriction on intestinal health and immune function in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mice through plasma cytokine profiling and histological evaluation of intestinal tissue sections. Adult male mice were fed with a Zn-adequate (40 ppm) or a Zn-marginal (4 ppm) diet for 4 weeks, and then a bacterial challenge was simulated by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 μg/g body weight [BW]) or saline (control). BW was recorded weekly, and feed intake was recorded daily over the last week. Voluntary locomotor activity was assessed 6 and 24 h after the challenge. Plasma and tissues were collected 0, 6 or 24 h after the challenge for analysis. Histological analysis of intestinal samples included evaluation of villi length and width, lamina propria (LP) width, crypt depth and intraepithelial as well as LP leukocyte numbers. Plasma was analyzed for IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-12p70, interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor α. Diet did not affect BW and feed intake. The LPS challenge led to decreased voluntary locomotor activity (P<.05). Moderate Zn restriction led to greater leukocyte infiltration in the LP after the LPS challenge (P<.05) and higher plasma IL-6 and IL-10 levels 24 h after the LPS challenge (P<.01). Results indicate that Zn status impacts intestinal responses to LPS through modulation of the cytokine response and leukocyte recruitment, and this impact is evident even with short-term (4weeks) moderate Zn restriction.

Specifically, it is shown how the study of Fourier series can be motivated to enrich a multivariable calculus class. This is done through discovery learning and use of technology wherein students build the sine Fourier series for the simple function f(x) = x and then generalize to the nth term sine Fourier series for a general function, f(x). It is shown how the students can then explore the power of the Fourier series to represent functions.

In addition, the payload consisted of one or more cylinders stacked end to end along the projectile symmetry axis separated by impermeable endcaps. The study also allowed the porosity in the axial direction to differ from the porosities in the lateral directions.

JO - Vector Borne & Zoonotic Diseases JF - Vector Borne & Zoonotic Diseases Y1 - 2008/03// VL - 8 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 15303667 AB - Polymerase chain reaction analysis of Amblyomma americanumadults, nymphs, and larvae from Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (APG), revealed a very high prevalence of a spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsia. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequence analysis identified “Rickettsia amblyommii.” This organism is not yet described or well studied, and its pathogenicity is unknown; however, investigations of the organism are warranted because of its high prevalence in A. americanum. This tick is extremely abundant at military training facilities in the south, central, and Mid-Atlantic United States, and many soldiers experience multiple concurrent tick bites. Bites by R. amblyommii-infected A. americanummay account for rates of SFG rickettsia seropositivity that are higher than reported rates of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) cases from the same location. Seroconversion to SFG rickettsia following bites of A. americanummay suggest that R. amblyommiiis infectious in humans. Subclinical infection in the numerous A. americanumtick bite victims could contaminate donated blood and compromise immunodeficient recipients. Detection of R. amblyommiiin questing A. americanumlarvae suggests transovarial transmission. The absence of R. rickettsii, the agent of RMSF, in A. americanummay be due to transovarial interference by R. amblyommii. The likelihood of pathogen transmission by larvae is magnified by their habit of mass attack. The very small size of the larvae is also a risk factor for pathogen transmission. High R. amblyommiiprevalence in populations of A. americanumpresage co-infection with other A. americanum-borne pathogens. A. americanumnymphs and adults from APG were found to be co-infected with R. amblyommiiand Borrelia lonestari, Ehrlichia chaffeensisand Ehrlichia ewingii, respectively, and larval pools were infected with both R. amblyommiiand B. lonestari. Co-infections can compound effects and complicate diagnosis of tick-borne disease.

All isolines shared the same mitotic karyotype (X1, X2, Y1). Molecular analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of ITS2, COI, and COII regions revealed three distinct groups: A1 (Chiang Mai), A2 (Phetchaburi), and A3 (Kanchanaburi). Crossing experiments among the three groups exhibited strong reproductive isolation, producing low and/or non-hatched eggs, and inviable and/or abnormal development of the reproductive system of F1-progenies. Asynaptic regions along the five polytene chromosome arms of F1-hybrid larvae clearly supported the existence of three sibling species within A. barbirostris Form A, provisionally named species A1, A2, and A3.

The change in electrical characteristics of the PEDOT–PSS polymer film is used to determine its sensitivity and working mechanism when exposed to different levels of moisture content. The output characteristics, the change in electrical sheet resistance of the PEDOT–PSS film versus the percentage change in relative humidity (%RH), show that the conductivity of the film decreases when it is exposed to increasing levels of moisture content. The moisture sensors thus fabricated based on the PEDOT–PSS thin film were used to detect the gravimetric water content present in highly plastic (CH) soil samples (Buckshot Clay) for geological and geotechnical engineering applications. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) study of the PEDOT–PSS film on a glass substrate showed the incorporation of OH molecules in the film when it was exposed to moisture environment. This incorporation of OH molecules caused the change in resistance of the PEDOT–PSS film when exposed to moisture content. The change in the output resistance of the sensor device was observed to be from 2.5 to 4.0M ohm when exposed to soil samples with 15–35% change in gravimetric water content.

T1 - Appropriate scale of soil moisture retrieval from high resolution radar imagery for bare and minimally vegetated soils JO - Remote Sensing of Environment JF - Remote Sensing of Environment Y1 - 2008/02/15/ VL - 112 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 403 EP - 414 SN - 00344257 AB - This research investigates the appropriate scale for watershed averaged and site specific soil moisture retrieval from high resolution radar imagery. The first approach involved filtering backscatter for input to a retrieval model that was compared against field measures of soil moisture. The second approach involved spatially averaging raw and filtered imagery in an image-based statistical technique to determine the best scale for site-specific soil moisture retrieval. Field soil moisture was measured at 1225 m2 sites in three watersheds commensurate with 7 m resolution Radarsat image acquisition. Analysis of speckle reducing block median filters indicated that 5×5 filter level was the optimum for watershed averaged estimates of soil moisture. However, median filtering alone did not provide acceptable accuracy for soil moisture retrieval on a site-specific basis. Therefore, spatial averaging of unfiltered and median filtered power values was used to generate backscatter estimates with known confidence for soil moisture retrieval. This combined approach of filtering and averaging was demonstrated at watersheds located in Arizona (AZ), Oklahoma (OK) and Georgia (GA). The optimum ground resolution for AZ, OK and GA study areas was 162 m, 310 m, and 1131 m respectively obtained with unfiltered imagery. This statistical approach does not rely on ground verification of soil moisture for validation and only requires a satellite image and average roughness parameters of the site. When applied at other locations, the resulting optimum ground resolution will depend on the spatial distribution of land surface features that affect radar backscatter. This work offers insight into the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval, and an operational approach to determine the optimal spatial resolution for the required application accuracy.

By restricting our design modifications to the vertical dimension, the tunability is achieved without increasing the device footprint. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to evaluate the effects of geometry and design on electrostatic spring strength and linearity. All structural components were fabricated using gray-scale technology, simultaneously defining all vertical levels using a single lithography and dry-etching step. Subsequent testing achieved bidirectional resonant frequency tuning (> 17%) through the creation of electrostatic spring constants as high as 1.06 N/m (at 70 V) and 1.45 N/m (at 120 V). While the current resonant devices show evidence of nonlinear stiffness coefficients at large oscillation amplitudes (> 10 µm), multiple design options are introduced and simulated as potential solutions.

Bioremediation of 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and related nitroaromatic compounds has met with mixed. success, which is potentially due to the uncertainty of how energetic compounds are bound to different soil types. This study investigated the dissolution and sorption properties of TNT and RDX explosives associated with six different soil types. Understanding the associations that explosives have with a different soil type assists with the development of conceptual models used for the sequestration process, risk analysis guidelines, and site assessment tools. In three-way systems of crystalline explosives, soil, and water, the maximum explosive solubility was not achieved due to the sorption of the explosive onto the soil particles and observed production of transformation byproducts. Significantly different sorption effects were also observed between sterile (γ-irradiated) and nonsterile (nonirradiated) soils with the introduction of crystalline TNT and RDX into soil-water systems.

T1 - DOSE-RELATED EFFECTS FOLLOWING ORAL EXPOSURE OF 2,4-DINITROTOLUENE ON THE WESTERN FENCE LIZARD, SCELOPORUS OCCIDENTALIS. JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 27 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 352 EP - 359 SN - 07307268 AB - 2,4-dintitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) is an explosive frequently found in the soil of military installations. Because reptiles can be common on these sites, ecological risk assessments for compounds such as 2,4-DNT could be improved with toxicity data specific to reptiles. Western fence lizards, Sceloporus occidentalis, were used to develop a laboratory toxicity model for reptiles. A hierarchical approach was used; acute to subchronic studies were conducted to provide toxicity data relevant to short- and longterm exposures. First, a modified median lethal dose (LD50) study was conducted on male and female lizards using a stage-wise probit model. The LD50 was 577 mg/kg for female and 380 mg/kg for male lizards. Subsequently, a subacute experiment was conducted to further assess 2,4-DNT toxicity to male lizards and to define exposure levels for a longer term, subchronic study. The subchronic study was conducted for 60 consecutive days; male lizards were exposed to 0, 9, 15, 25, 42, 70 mg/kg/d. Dosedependent mortality was observed in the three highest dose groups (25, 42, and 70 mg/kg/d); all other animals survived the study duration. Benchmark dose model calculations based on mortality indicated a 5% effect level of 15.8 mg/kg/d. At study termination, a gross necropsy was performed, organ weights were taken, and blood was collected for clinical and hematological analysis. Body weight, kidney weight, food consumption, postdose observations, and blood chemistries all were found to be significantly different from controls at doses above 9 mg/kg/d. Also, preliminary results suggest behavioral observations, and reduced food consumption may be a sensitive indicator of toxicity. The present study indicates Sceloporus occidentalis is suitable for evaluating toxicity of compounds to reptilian species.

The prime power source is a longitudinally driven shock wave depolarization of a ferroelectric ceramic. The energy-carrying elements of the shock wave ferroelectric generators (FEGs) were poled Pb(Zr52Ti48)O3 polycrystalline ceramic disks with 0.35 cm3 volume. FEGs charged 9 nF, 18 nF, and 36 nF capacitor banks and provided pulsed-power with peak amplitudes up to 0.29 MW. The maximum efficiency of electric charge transfer from shocked Pb(Zr52 Ti48 )O3 elements to a capacitor bank was 46%. We demonstrated experimentally that the FEG-capacitor bank system can perform as an oscillatory circuit. A methodology was developed for numerical simulation of the operation of the FEG-capacitor bank system; the simulation results were in a good agreement with the experimental results.

Conflict-related events typically lower psychological well-being; in contrast, investment in and protection of threatened identities should lead to self-esteem striving and, presumably, better well-being. How threatened do Iraqi adolescents feel? Is their self-esteem related to their sense of threat? Do age, religion, ethnicity, and gender alter the link between perceived threat and self-esteem? We use data from 1000 randomly selected adolescents living in Baghdad during July 2004. Iraqi adolescents reported high levels of threat; those feeling more threatened reported higher levels of self-esteem. Social background correlates with both self-esteem and perceived threat, but controlling for social background does not eliminate the relationship between self-esteem and perceived threat. We interpret our results in light of theory and research concerning social identity, mortality threats, and war trauma.

Low order detonations of high explosive payloads result in the patchy dispersal of particles of high explosive formulations over large areas of firing range soils. Dissolution of explosives from explosive formulation particles into soil pore water is a controlling factor for transport, fate, and effects of explosive compounds. We developed an empirical method to evaluate soils based on functionally defined effective dissolution rates. An automated Accelerated Solvent Extractor was used to determine the effective elution rates under controlled conditions of RDX and TNT from soil columns containing particles of Comp B. Contrived soils containing selected soil geosorbants and reactive surfaces were used to quantitatively determine the importance of these materials. Natural soils from training ranges of various soil types were also evaluated. The effects of geosorbants on effective elution rates were compound- and sorbent-specific. TNT elution was less than that of RDX and was greatly slowed by humic acid. Iron and iron-bearing clays reduced the effective elution rates of both RDX and TNT. This empirical method is a useful tool for directly generating data on the potential for explosives to leach from firing range soils, to identify general bulk soil characteristics that can be used to predict the potential, and to identify means to engineer soil treatments to mitigate potential transport.

The auto-ionization of the acid in the absence of protons on the zeolite surface is sufficient for the formation of reactive nitronium ions. We also find that the regioselectivity for the formation of p-MNT is substantially increased over both forms of the zeolite catalyst by first intercalating the acid in the zeolite micropores prior to the introduction of toluene. For instance, the isomer ratio is increased from values in the range 1.3–2.3 under conventional batch reaction conditions to values of 1.8–8.9 when the acid is sequestered in the zeolite. The sequestration of nitric acid in both ion exchanged forms of the zeolite confines more of the nitration reaction to the regioselective environment of the micropores and reduces the extent of reaction in homogeneous toluene solution. However, the ammonium form of the zeolite is preferred over the protonated form when the Si/Al ratio of the zeolite allows for the presence of at least one ammonium ion per unit cell (Si/Al ⩽ 40), because under these conditions far less benzaldehyde and other undesired reaction products are formed in comparison to the protonated form of the zeolite at the same Si/Al ratios. The ability of NH+4-ZSM-5 derivatives to limit the formation of unwanted toluene oxidation products is not well understood, but the observed selectivity may be related to the replacement of ammonium ions by protons, the formation of ammonium nitrate, and the buffering of nitric acid within the micropores of the zeolite.

BPA-PC with a wide range of end-group ratios (0.26–2.83) and number average molecular weights (1500–9000g/mol) was synthesized using melt transesterification by changing the initial monomer (bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate) ratios and reaction conditions. Results of the NMR analysis for the melt-polymerized samples were compared with those of a commercial BPA-PC with a M n of 16,000g/mol. It was demonstrated that NMR spectroscopy is a very selective and accurate method not only for quantification of both phenolic and phenyl chain end-groups but also in the structural analysis of main chain groups. Extremely small concentrations of end-groups (∼0.02 per repeating unit) were analyzed. In addition, NMR spectroscopy was found to be an excellent tool for detecting residual monomer and the presence of the reaction byproduct (phenol). The molecular weights that were determined using NMR end-group quantification agreed well with the molecular weights measured by gel-permeation chromatography (GPC).

The resulting current voltage relation was then compared to a performance curve calculated from previously established values for the exchange current density and activation energy of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt–Ni/C. An overall voltage loss >200mV, regardless of current density, was observed for the MEA relative to the predicted performance, implying about two orders of magnitude decrease in the exchange current density for the ORR. The reduction in exchange current density was attributed to anion (H2PO4−) adsorption.

Silane bonding is confirmed using FTIR and photoelectron spectroscopy, with a total Si concentration of 3 to 4 atomic %. PL measurements demonstrate a 2-fold enhancement of its UV peak and maintenance of its visible peak compared to control samples. Enhancement of the UV peak is likely due to a decrease in the surface-dependent nonradiative recombination process. These results lay the framework for sensor fabrication, with the aldehyde groups available to bind analytes that would alter the PL spectrum.

Here we present the crystal structure, at 2.0 Å, of 13F6-1-2 in complex with its Ebola virus GP peptide epitope. The GP peptide binds in an extended conformation, anchored primarily by interactions with the heavy chain. Two GP residues, Gln P406 and Arg P409, make extensive side-chain hydrogen bond and electrostatic interactions with the antibody and are likely critical for recognition and affinity. The 13F6-1-2 antibody utilizes a rare Vλx light chain. The three light-chain complementarity-determining regions do not adopt canonical conformations and represent new classes of structures distinct from Vκ and other Vλ light chains. In addition, although Vλx had been thought to confer specificity, all light-chain contacts are mediated through germ-line-encoded residues. This structure of an antibody that protects against the Ebola virus now provides a framework for humanization and development of a postexposure immunotherapeutic.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 63 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - R185 EP - R191 SN - 03636119 AB - The induction of cellular acquired thermal tolerance (ATT) during heat acclimation (HA) in humans is not well described. This study determined whether exercise-HA modifies the human heat shock protein (HSP)72 and HSP90 responses and whether changes are correlated with physiological adaptations to HA. Using a 10-day HA protocol comprising daily exercise (treadmill walking) in a hot environment (Ta = 49°C, 20% RH), we analyzed baseline and ex vivo heat-induced expression of HSP72 and HSP90 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated prior to exercise from eight subjects on day 1 and 10 of the HA protocol. Classical physiological responses to HA were observed, including significantly reduced heart rate and core body temperature, and significantly increased sweating rate. Baseline levels of HSP72 and HSP90 were significantly increased following acclimation by 17.7 ± 6.1% and 21.1 ± 6.5%, respectively. Ex vivo induction of HSP72 in PBMCs exposed to heat shock (43°C) was blunted on day 10 compared with day 1. A correlation was identified (r2 = 0.89) between changes in core temperature elevation and ex vivo HSP90 responses to heat shock between days 1 and 10, indicating that volunteers demonstrating the greatest physiological HA tended to exhibit the greatest blunting of ex vivo HSP induction in response to heat shock. In summary, 1) exercise-HA resulted in increased baseline levels of HSP72 and HSP90, 2) cx vivo heat inducibihity of HSP72 was blunted after HA, and 3) volunteers demonstrating the greatest physiological HA tended to exhibit the greatest blunting of ex vivo HSP induction in response to heat shock. These data demonstrate that physiological adaptations in humans undergoing HA are accompanied by both increases in baseline levels and changes in regulation of cytoprotective HSPs.

JO - Journal of Neuroinflammation JF - Journal of Neuroinflammation Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 18 SN - 17422094 AB - Background: The long latent stage seen in syphilis, followed by chronic central nervous system infection and inflammation, can be explained by the persistence of atypical cystic and granular forms of Treponema pallidum. We investigated whether a similar situation may occur in Lyme neuroborreliosis. Method: Atypical forms of Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes were induced exposing cultures of Borrelia burgdorferi (strains B31 and ADB1) to such unfavorable conditions as osmotic and heat shock, and exposure to the binding agents Thioflavin S and Congo red. We also analyzed whether these forms may be induced in vitro, following infection of primary chicken and rat neurons, as well as rat and human astrocytes. We further analyzed whether atypical forms similar to those induced in vitro may also occur in vivo, in brains of three patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis. We used immunohistochemical methods to detect evidence of neuroinflammation in the form of reactive microglia and astrocytes. Results: Under these conditions we observed atypical cystic, rolled and granular forms of these spirochetes. We characterized these abnormal forms by histochemical, immunohistochemical, dark field and atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods. The atypical and cystic forms found in the brains of three patients with neuropathologically confirmed Lyme neuroborreliosis were identical to those induced in vitro. We also observed nuclear fragmentation of the infected astrocytes using the TUNEL method. Abundant HLA-DR positive microglia and GFAP positive reactive astrocytes were present in the cerebral cortex. Conclusion: The results indicate that atypical extra- and intracellular pleomorphic and cystic forms of Borrelia burgdorferi and local neuroinflammation occur in the brain in chronic Lyme neuroborreliosis. The persistence of these more resistant spirochete forms, and their intracellular location in neurons and glial cells, may explain the long latent stage and persistence of Borrelia infection. The results also suggest that Borrelia burgdorferi may induce cellular dysfunction and apoptosis. The detection and recognition of atypical, cystic and granular forms in infected tissues is essential for the diagnosis and the treatment as they can occur in the absence of the typical spiral Borrelia form.

JO - World Journal of Surgery JF - World Journal of Surgery Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 32 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 2 EP - 6 SN - 03642313 AB - United States military doctrine permits the use of fresh whole blood (FWB), donated by U.S. military personnel on site, for casualties with life-threatening injuries at combat support hospitals. U.S. Military Medical Department policy dictates that all patients treated at military facilities during combat (coalition military personnel, foreign nationals, and enemy combatants) are to be treated equally. The objectives of this study were to describe admission vital signs and laboratory values and injury location for patients transfused with FWB, and to determine if FWB was employed equally among all patient personnel categories at a combat support hospital. This retrospective cohort study evaluated admission vital signs and laboratory values, injury location, and personnel category for all patients receiving FWB at a U.S. Army combat support hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, between January and December 2004. Eighty-seven patients received 545 units of FWB. Upon admission, the average (±S.D.) heart rate was 144 bpm (±25); systolic blood pressure, 106 mmHg (±33); base deficit, 9 (±6.5); hemoglobin, 9.0 g/dl (±2.6); platelet concentration, 81.9 × 103/mm3 (±81); international normalized ratio (INR), 2.0 (±1.1); and temperature 95.7°F (±2.6). The percentages of intensive care patients who received FWB by personnel category were as follows: coalition soldiers, 51/592 (8.6%); foreign nationals, 25/347 (7.2%); and enemy combatants, 11/128 (8.5% ( p = 0.38).

JO - Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research JF - Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research Y1 - 2008/01/02/ VL - 47 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 185 EP - 191 SN - 08885885 AB - Zeolite H−ZSM-5 with a SiO2/Al2O3ratio of 25 was evaluated for its ability to remove ethylene oxide (EtO) from streams of air at 25 °C and between 15 and 90% relative humidity (RH). The primary mechanism for the removal of ethylene oxide using H−ZSM-5 involves a catalyzed hydrolysis reaction initiated by the adsorption of EtO onto a Brønsted acid site. Secondary addition reactions leading to the formation of polyglycols are also occurring. The reaction is poisoned by the accumulation of reaction products within the pores of the zeolite, which ultimately leads to elution of EtO from the filter bed. The ability of H−ZSM-5 to remove EtO decreased significantly as the relative humidity increased from 50 to 90%. For example, the EtO breakthrough time decreases from 220 min at 50% RH to 57 min at 90% RH. The decrease in the EtO breakthrough time over the stated RH range is attributed to the increased hydration of the Brønsted acid site. As the extent of Brønsted acid site hydration increases, the reactivity of the site is reduced, leading to a reduction in the EtO breakthrough time.

JO - Journal of Forensic Sciences (Wiley-Blackwell) JF - Journal of Forensic Sciences (Wiley-Blackwell) Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 151 EP - 161 SN - 00221198 AB - An unidentified white powder collected as evidence in an intelligence investigation was characterized exclusively by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. A small fraction of the powder dissolved in D2O was subjected to a series of one- and two-dimensional techniques which were used to elucidate the molecular structure of the powder’s major component and positively identify it as the scopolamine biotoxin. Quantitative one-dimensional experiments identified individual proton and carbon atom sites, and conventional 14N spectroscopy detected a single nitrogen atom site. Heteronuclear single quantum coherence data correlated all protons to their directly bonded carbon atom, and together with the quantitative spectra, were used to determine the number of protons directly bonded to each carbon atom. The presence of a methyl, carboxyl, and a benzyl group was also identified from these data. Correlation spectroscopy detected a three proton and a nine proton JH,H network, representing a CH2CH moiety and seven carbon atom ring, respectively. These five elements were assembled into an almost complete molecular structure by using long-range, J-coupled, 1H–13C pairs detected by heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) spectroscopy and 1H–1H dipolar-coupled pairs found from nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) data. Additional oxygen atom sites were inferred from 1H–13C correlation intensities in the HMBC spectra along with 1H and 13C chemical shift values, or directly from NOESY correlations. Only a single oxygen atom site could not be inferred from NMR data, but its presence was inferred from comparisons to target analyte structures to complete the structure of the scopolamine molecule. To confirm these results, an ethanol/H2O solution of the powder was analyzed by direct infusion into an ion trap mass spectrometer. A prominent base signal was observed at m/z 304.1 amu, corresponding to the protonated molecular ion of scopolamine. Subsequently, the ion was selected and subjected to collision-induced dissociation, producing characteristic major MS/MS fragments at m/z 138.1 and 156.1. Comparisons of 1H and 13C chemical shift values and JH,H values measured from our NMR data were found to agree very favorably with previously reported values for scopolamine in D2O.

The said method is based on the cleavage of adducted HD (protein-hydroxyethylthioethyl esters) to produce thiodiglycol. Following the cleavage, a deuterated internal standard is added, and the analytes are extracted, derivatized, and analyzed by gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. Inclusion of a concentration step, addition of solid sodium bicarbonate to neutralize excess derivatization reagent, and optimization of method and instrument conditions provided dramatic increases in signal-to-noise ratio. Precision and accuracy study was conducted for five days, including interday and intraday unknown analysis.

The novel aspect of the method is that it makes use of emissivity skewness. The main purpose of vegetation detection for mine detection is to minimize false alarms. Vegetation, such as round bushes, may be mistaken as mines by mine detection algorithms, particularly in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. We employ an unsupervised vegetation detection algorithm that exploits statistics of emissivity spectra of vegetation in long-wave infrared spectrum for identification. This information is incorporated into a Choquet integral-based fusion structure, which fuses detector outputs from hyperspectral imagery and SAR imagery. Vegetation mapping is shown to improve mine detection results over a variety of images and fusion models.

The classified objects include homogeneous spheroids and composite metallic assemblages meant to resemble unexploded ordnance. An analytical model is used to generate the necessary training data for each learning method. SVM and NN are shown to be successful in classifying three different types of objects on the basis of size. They are capable of fast classification, making them suitable for real-time application. Furthermore, both methods are robust and have a good tolerance of 20-dB SNR additive Gaussian noise. SVM shows promise in dealing with noise due to uncertainty in the object's position and orientation.

JO - BMC Systems Biology JF - BMC Systems Biology Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 17520509 AB - Background: Data from high-throughput experiments of protein-protein interactions are commonly used to probe the nature of biological organization and extract functional relationships between sets of proteins. What has not been appreciated is that the underlying mechanisms involved in assembling these networks may exhibit considerable probabilistic behaviour. Results: We find that the probability of an interaction between two proteins is generally proportional to the numerical product of their individual interacting partners, or degrees. The degree-weighted behaviour is manifested throughout the protein-protein interaction networks studied here, except for the high-degree, or hub, interaction areas. However, we find that the probabilities of interaction between the hubs are still high. Further evidence is provided by path length analyses, which show that these hubs are separated by very few links. Conclusion: The results suggest that protein-protein interaction networks incorporate probabilistic elements that lead to scale-rich hierarchical architectures. These observations seem to be at odds with a biologically-guided organization. One interpretation of the findings is that we are witnessing the ability of proteins to indiscriminately bind rather than the protein-protein interactions that are actually utilized by the cell in biological processes. Therefore, the topological study of a degree-weighted network requires a more refined methodology to extract biological information about pathways, modules, or other inferred relationships among proteins.

JO - Soil Science Society of America Journal JF - Soil Science Society of America Journal Y1 - 2008/01//Jan/Feb2008 VL - 72 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 244 EP - 257 SN - 03615995 AB - Magnetic behavior of soils can seriously hamper the performance of geophysical sensors. Currently, we have little understanding of the types of minerals responsible for the magnetic behavior, as well as their distribution in space and evolution through time. This study investigated the magnetic characteristics and mineralogy of Fe-rich soils developed on basaltic substrate in Hawaii. We measured the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibility (Xlf) and frequency dependence (Xfd%) across three test areas in a well-developed eroded soil on Kaho'olawe and in two young soils on the Big Island of Hawaii. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), chemical dissolution, thermal analysis, and temperature-dependent magnetic studies were used to characterize soil development and mineralogy for samples from soil pits on Kaho'olawe, surface samples from all three test areas, and unweathered basalt from the Big Island of Hawaii. The measurements show a general increase in magnetic properties with increasing soil development. The )(RF Fe data ranged from 13% for fresh basalt and young soils on the Big Island to 58% for material from the B horizon of Kaho'olawe soils. Dithionite-extractable and oxalate-extractable Fe percentages increase with soil development and correlate with Xlf and Xfd% respectively. Results from the temperature-dependent susceptibility measurements show that the high soil magnetic properties observed in geophysical surveys in Kaho'olawe are entirely due to neoformed minerals. The results of our studies have implications for the existing soil survey of Kaho'olawe and help identify methods to characterize magnetic minerals in tropical soils.

Much of this erosion Occurs on roads and trails created by repeated military vehicle traffic during training operations. If the roads are located on steep slopes or in areas of concentrated runoff, soil loss can be accelerated. A geographical information system software package and a modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (USE) were used to estimate erosion potential at Camp Atterbury .located in south-central Indiana. Geospatial interface to the Water Erosion Prediction Project model (GeoWEPP) was also used to estimate soil loss for the camp. Each erosion estimate was overlain with the roads and trails map. Estimated erosion levels on the camp's traffic ways with the USLE and GeoWEPP methods were then evaluated. with on-site inspections of erosion conditions at Camp Atterbury. A significant correlation was found between predicted and observed erosion for both the modified USLE and GeoWEPP methods. The statistical significance for the USLE and GeoWEPP procedures allows their use in estimating erosion potential for unimproved roads and trails with confidence.

Embryos were exposed at day one of incubation to either 20 or 40 μg DDE or a sesame oil vehicle control (injection volume=20 μl). Onset of puberty, gonadal histopathology, sperm motility, cloacal gland size, and male copulatory behavior were assessed in adults. DDE accelerated onset of puberty in females and reduced male reproductive behaviors. Gonadal morphology and sperm motility appeared to be unaffected. Results from this study provide evidence that the neuroendocrine system may be more sensitive and less resilient to embryonic exposure to contaminants than traditional measures of reproductive success following contaminant exposure in adults. This study further supports the inclusion of behavioral assessments in toxicity tests.

We explored the roles of nanotube length and structure, fiber density, and nanotube orientation in achieving optimum mechanical properties. We found that carbon nanotube fiber, spun directly and continuously from gas phase as an aeroget, combines high strength and high stiffness (axial elastic modulus), with an energy to breakage (toughness) considerably greater than that of any commercial high-strength fiber. Different levels of carbon nanotube orientation, fiber density, and mechanical properties can be achieved by drawing the aerogel at various winding rates. The mechanical data obtained demonstrate the considerable potential of carbon nanotube assemblies in the quest for maximal mechanical performance. The statistical aspects of the mechanical data reveal the deleterious effect of defects and indicate strategies for future work.

We identified personnel receiving the smallpox vaccination and compared them to a historical referent population. The rate of cardiac ischemia diagnoses in the 30 days following smallpox vaccination was 140.1 per 100,000 person-years, compared to 143.5 per 100,000 person-years in referent group (RR 1.0 [95% CI: 0.7–1.4]). The rate of cardiac ischemic events in vaccinees was 121.4 per 100,000 person-years before and 175.7 after adopting pre-vaccination cardiac screening (RR 1.4 [95% CI: 0.8–2.7]). Implementation of pre-vaccination cardiac risk factor screening was not associated with a reduction in cardiac events.

The models included a disturbed width model and an impact severity model. Inputs of the terrain impact models included vehicle static properties, vehicle dynamic properties, and terrain properties. The tested vehicles included an M1A1 tank, an M577 Armored Personal Carrier (APC), and an M548 cargo carrier. The models were verified with field tests conducted in Yakima Training Center in Yakima, WA, Fort Riley, KS, and Camp Atterbury, Indiana. The average percentage errors of the disturbed width model for the M1A1, M577, and the M548 were 10.0%, 27.3%, and 8.5%, respectively. The average percentage errors of the impact severity model of the M1A1 and M577 were 25.0% and 21.4%, respectively.

High performance liquid chromatography with UV absorption interfaced to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry sequential detection was used to detect organouranium complexes in a variety of soils and plant materials, indicating that nearly 100% of the uranium extracted from certain plant tissues was bound to organic ligands. In addition, soil sorption experiments indicated that humic acid generally decreased uranium sorption to soils and promoted subsequent desorption of uranium because of uranium partitioning to the organic phase. These experiments demonstrate that organic compounds influence the mobility and chemistry of uranium in the environment.

This process results in differences in drain currents at low (80 K) versus high (294 K) temperatures. Irradiation increases the gate and drain currents at 80 K, and decreases the drain current at room temperature. These effects saturate at ~3 × 1010 n/cm² indicating complexing with a native impurity. After a room temperature anneal, the effect on the gate current persists and the drain current partially recovers. A two-step persistent interface trap formation model is presented that explains these results. This model is further supported by CV measurements at 80 K and 294 K after annealing.

T1 - Toxicogenomic Analysis Provides New Insights into Molecular Mechanisms of the Sublethal Toxicity of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene in Eisenia fetida. JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2007/12//12/1/2007 VL - 41 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 8195 EP - 8202 SN - 0013936X AB - Xenobiotics such as explosives and pesticides released into the environment can have lethal and sublethal impacts on soil organisms such as earthworms with potential subsequent impacts athighertrophic levels. To better understand the molecular toxicological mechanisms of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive, in Eisenia fetida, earthworms were exposed to a gradient of TNT-spiked soils for 28 days and impacts on gene expression were examined using a 4032 cDNA microarray. Reproduction was increased at low doses of TNT, whereas high doses of TNT reduced juvenile production. On the basis of reproduction responses to TNT, four treatments, that is, control, 2, 10.6, and 38.7 mg/kg, were selected for gene expression studies in a balanced interwoven loop design microarray experiment in which the expression of 311 transcripts was significantly affected. Reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) data on 68 selected differentially and nondifferentially expressed transcripts showed a significant correlation with microarray results. The expression of genes involved in multiple biological processes was altered, including muscle contraction, neuronal signaling and growth, ubiquitinylation, fibrinolysis and coagulation, iron and calcium homeostasis, oxygen transport, and immunity. Chitinase activity assays confirmed down-regulation of chitinase genes as indicated by array and RT-QPCR data. An acute toxicity test provided evidence that dermal contact with TNT can cause bleeding, inflammation, and constriction, which may be explained by gene expression results. Sublethal doses of TNT affected the nervous system, caused blood disorders similar to methemoglobinemia, and weakened immunity in E. fetida.

The switch uses solution chemistry-derived lead zirconate titanate thin films spun deposited onto a high-resistivity silicon substrate with coplanar waveguide transmission lines. Actuation voltages, applied via circuits independent of the RF circuitry, average less than 10 V, with switch operation demonstrated as low as 2 V. The series switch exhibits better than 20-dB isolation from dc up to 65 GHz and as large as 70 dB below 1 GHz. In the closed state, the switch has an insertion loss less than 1 dB up to 40 GHz, limited in this demonstration by substrate losses from the elastic layer used to stress control the piezoelectric actuators. Switching speeds for the different designs are in the range of 40-60 ms. Thermal sensitivity measurements show no change in isolation observed for temperatures up to 125 ° C. However, an increase in actuation voltage is required at elevated temperatures.

The use of a double-pulse laser improves the sensitivity and selectivity of ST-LIBS, especially for the detection of energetic materials. In addition to various metallic and plastic materials, the system has been used to detect bulk explosives RDX and Composition-B, explosive residues, biological species such as the anthrax surrogate Bacillus subtilis, and chemical warfare simulants at 20 m. We have also demonstrated the discrimination of explosive residues from various interferents on an aluminum substrate.

One method ideally suited for real-time standoff detection is laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). However, atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen contributes to the LIBS signal from the oxygen- and nitrogen-containing explosive compounds, complicating the discrimination of explosives from other organic materials. While bathing the sample in an inert gas will remove atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen interference, it cannot practically be applied for standoff LIBS. Alternatively, we have investigated the potential of double pulse LIBS to improve the discrimination of explosives by diminishing the contribution of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen to the LIBS signal. These initial studies compare the close-contact (<1 m) LIBS spectra of explosives using single pulse LIBS in argon with double pulse LIBS in atmosphere. We have demonstrated improved discrimination of an explosive and an organic interferent using double pulse LIBS to reduce the air entrained in the analytical plasma.

Air and argon were considered as buffer gases. The model includes a set of processes involving ion chemistry, as well as excitation, ionization, and other processes affecting neutral and ion species. Modeling results show that the overall reaction process can be considered a two-stage process. The first stage corresponds to a fast approach to a quasi-stationary state, while the second stage corresponds to the change of quasi-stationary species concentrations due to the change in temperature. As a result of the two-stage process, the initial mechanism of explosive decomposition is not important in determining its signature in the LIBS measurement time window (1–30 μs). The main processes responsible for generation of excited states for the LIBS emission are electron-excitation impact processes. A mechanism for the appearance of a double peak of the C2 species concentration in the RDX plasma plume was suggested. Double-peak behavior of the C2 species was previously experimentally observed during laser ablation of graphite.

T1 - Moderate zinc deficiency negatively affects biomechanical properties of rat tibiae independently of body composition JO - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry JF - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Y1 - 2007/12// VL - 18 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 813 EP - 819 SN - 09552863 AB - Abstract: To guide development of novel nutritional strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of stress fractures, we observed the effects of manipulating dietary zinc (Zn) content on bone integrity in Sprague–Dawley rats fed either a severely Zn-deficient (ZnD; 1 ppm), a moderately Zn-deficient (MZnD; 5 ppm) or a Zn-adequate (ZnAD; 30 ppm) diet for 6 weeks. At the completion of the diet period, body composition, bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA) and bone mineral density (BMD) were determined in vivo by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Following euthanasia, long bones were collected for determination of Zn content and biomechanical strength testing. Despite significant positive correlations between dietary Zn and both body weight (BW) and bone Zn content for the entire cohort (r=.77 and r=.83, respectively), rats fed MZnD or ZnAD diets did not differ in feed intakes, body composition, BMC, BA, BMD or BW. Tibial bones, but not femur bones, appear to be more responsive to dietary Zn manipulation, as all bone biomechanical strength indices in the ZnAD-fed rats were significantly greater than in rats fed the ZnD diets. Rats fed either MZnD or ZnAD diets had stronger tibiae (129% increase in maximum load and stress at maximum load, P<.01) compared with those fed ZnD diets. The load at breakage for the tibial bones of rats fed MZnD diets was not different from the ZnD rats, but lower (P<.05) than that of the ZnAD rats. These results suggest that since feed intakes, body composition, BMC, BA, BMD and BW were not significantly different between the MZnD- and ZnAD-fed animals, the reduced bone integrity observed in the MZnD-fed rats resulted from dietary Zn inadequacy, and not as a result of the reduced growth that is typically associated with Zn deficiency.

The circulating fluid in the cooling garment was provided during exercise to the head (6% body surface area [BSA]), torso (22% BSA), and thighs (44% BSA) and manipulated under three methods: (a) CC, (b) pulsed cooling (PC), and (c) PC activated by mean skin temperature (T(sk)) control (PC(skin)). TC and TS ratings were recorded every 20 min during the 80-min test.Results: TC and TS ratings were not different for PC(skin) and CC; thus the participants perceived PC(skin) as being similar to CC. TS was significantly warmer with PC than with PC(skin) and CC (p < .001). In PC(skin), T(sk) was significantly higher than in PC and CC (p < .001), and PC(skin) was rated as being not as warm as PC according to TS.Conclusion: This indicates that the PC(skin) method was perceived as being as cool as CC and cooler than PC.Application: These findings indicate that the PC(skin) cooling method is an acceptable alternative to CC and PC based on human perceptions.

There are at least 29 species and many more subtypes of alphaviruses and some are considered potential bioweapons. We have developed a multi-locus RT-PCR followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RT-PCR/ESI-MS) assay that uses the amplicon base compositions to detect and identify alphaviruses. A small set of primer pairs targeting conserved sites in the alphavirus RNA genome were used to amplify a panel of 36 virus isolates representing characterized Old World and New World alphaviruses. Base compositions from the resulting amplicons could be used to unambiguously determine the species or subtype of 35 of the 36 isolates. The assay detected, without culture, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), and mixtures of both in pools consisting of laboratory-infected and -uninfected mosquitoes. Further, the assay was used to detect alphaviruses in naturally occurring mosquito vectors collected from locations in South America and Asia. Mosquito pools collected near Iquitos, Peru, were found to contain an alphavirus with a very distinct signature. Subsequent sequence analysis confirmed that the virus was a member of the Mucambo virus species (subtype IIID in the VEEV complex). The assay we have developed provides a rapid, accurate, and high-throughput assay for surveillance of alphaviruses.

T1 - Tyrosine supplementation mitigates working memory decrements during cold exposure JO - Physiology & Behavior JF - Physiology & Behavior Y1 - 2007/11/23/ VL - 92 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 575 EP - 582 SN - 00319384 AB - Abstract: In rats, dietary supplementation with the amino acid tyrosine (TYR) prevents depletion of central catecholamines observed during acute environmental stress. Concomitant changes in the animals'' behavioral responses to stress suggest that TYR might have similar effects on central catecholamines and cognition in humans exposed to environmental stress. This study aimed to determine if severe cold exposure impairs human cognition and if dietary supplementation with TYR would ameliorate such deficits. Volunteers (N =19) completed three test sessions on different days (35 °C control/placebo, ∼10 °C/placebo, ∼10 °C/TYR) using a double-blind, within subjects design. During each session, volunteers completed two 90-minute water immersions and consumed a food bar (150 mg/kg TYR or placebo) before each immersion (total TYR 300 mg/kg). Cognitive performance, mood, and salivary cortisol were assessed. Cortisol was elevated in the cold (p <.01). Volunteers made fewer correct responses on a Match-to-Sample memory measure (p <.05) and reaction time (RT) and errors increased on a choice RT test (p <.01) in the cold. Self-reported tension (p <.01), depression (p <.05) and confusion (p <.01) also increased in the cold. When volunteers consumed TYR, correct responses increased on a Match-to-Sample memory measure (p <.05) and study time for the sample was shorter (p <.05), indicative of more rapid and accurate information processing. Finally, RT on the memory measure revealed a similar pattern across immersions for TYR and thermoneutral conditions, but not cold/placebo (p <.05). This study demonstrates cold exposure degrades cognitive performance and supplementation with TYR alleviates working memory decrements.

To address this interest, Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) teamed with FuelCell Energy (FCE) to test an internally reforming 250kW carbonate fuel cell using HD-5 propane. This fuel cell power plant, originally designed to operate on pipeline natural gas or digester gas, was modified for dual fuel operation (natural gas and propane). Fuel cell operation using HD-5 propane was demonstrated for over 3900h and achieved high-electrical efficiency (45.7–47.1% lower heating value (LHV)) over a broad range of power outputs. In addition, instantaneous and on-load fuel switching from natural gas to propane and back was demonstrated without loss of power. This dual fuel power plant operates efficiently on either fuel and provides the U.S. Army and other power users with a viable technology solution for critical power operations.

The self-doped copolymer of poly(aniline-co-3-aminobenzeneboronic acid) poly(aniline-co-AB), with various mole ratios of two components, was synthesized by oxidative enzymatic polymerization using a natural biocatalyst such as horseradish peroxidase together with an anionic polyelectrolyte template (sulfonated polystyrene) under mild conditions (pH 4.5). Poly(aniline-co-AB), having an aniline boronic acid-to-aniline ratio of 1:2 on average, gave rise to a green doped polymer with absorption maxima at 745 nm. The potentiometric detection of saccharides using poly(aniline-co-AB) is presented. Characteristics of both transient and steady-state response associated with the complex formation of poly(aniline-co-AB) with various saccharides were monitored by UV−vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results obtained from UV−vis spectroscopy and CV show that the sensitivity of enzymatically synthesized water-soluble poly(aniline-co-AB) for various saccharides was improved significantly compared to the chemically synthesized counterpart. A possible mechanism for the sensitive detection of sugar molecules by boronic acid is proposed on the basis of UV−vis and IR spectrophotometry, and four-point probe conductivity measurements.

Sintering was performed for 1 min at temperatures between 700 and 1200 °C, and for 1–10 min at 900 °C under 65 MPa pressure. Structure and composition of the sintered samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and Raman microspectroscopy. The selected sintering conditions prevent excessive graphitization of diamond and allow formation of porous pellets having the density of 1.3–1.6 g/cm3, hardness >0.1 GPa and Young''s modulus >3 GPa. The sintered ND pellets with porosity of about 50% have mechanical properties sufficient for handling and can be infiltrated to produce ND composites.

Overall, there seems to be strong support for a threshold of around 15 Hz for many tasks, including those that are psychomotor and perceptual in nature. Less impressive yet acceptable performance may be accomplished at around 10 Hz for many tasks. Subjective reactions to the quality and watchability of videos seem to support rates of 5 Hz, although videos presented at 15 Hz and above are generally more widely preferred. These generalizations regarding superior and acceptable FRs may also be subject to the effects of several moderating factors such as display characteristics, nature of the tasks, viewing condition, additional cues, and user experience.

In the fall 2005, approximately 7,500 US military personnel participated in an exercise in the Egyptian desert. The epidemiology of disease and noncombat injury among deployed troops is important in the context of assessing current mitigation strategies and the development of future ones. Methods. To assess the prevalence and impact of diarrhea and enteropathogen distribution, we conducted a case series study. To assess the relative impact of diarrhea compared to respiratory infection and injury, we conducted a post-deployment survey and compared these data to clinic-based syndromic surveillance data. Results. We enrolled 43 patients with acute diarrhea, 21 (49%) having one or more pathogens isolated. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli ( n= 16), enteroaggregative E coli ( n= 3), and Shigella spp. ( n= 3) were the most common pathogens identified. Respiratory illness had the highest incidence (73 episodes/100 person-months) compared to diarrhea (35 episodes/100 person-months) and noncombat injury (17 episodes/100 person-months), though noncombat injury more frequently resulted in lost duty days and health-care utilization. Conclusions. Noncombat injuries and illnesses have had a significant impact on military missions and continue to result in force health protection challenges today. Future studies are needed to test and evaluate countermeasures to mitigate these illnesses and injuries to increase the health of the individuals and optimize mission readiness.

The purpose of this 24-h study was to evaluate the utility of gastrointestinal (GI) tonometry during burn shock and resuscitation. Methods: Male swine (n =11, 23.3±0.9kg) were anesthetized with ketamine and propofol. A 70% full thickness burn was caused by immersion in 97°C water for 30s. Resuscitation with lactated Ringer''s, 4ml/kg/% burn, was begun at hour 6 and titrated to urine output (UO). Arterial blood gases and pulmonary artery catheter data were measured every 6h. Gastric and ileal regional PCO2 (PrCO2) were measured continuously by air tonometry, and the gastric and ileal intramucosal pH (pHi) and PCO2 gap (PrCO2 −PaCO2) were calculated every 6h. Results: Gastric pHi, ileal PrCO2, ileal pHi, and ileal PCO2 gap (but not gastric PrCO2 or PCO2 gap) all decreased with shock and were restored to baseline levels by resuscitation. Changes in ileal PrCO2 were of greater magnitude and demonstrated decreased variability than those in gastric PrCO2. Conclusions: In this model, ileal tonometry outperformed gastric tonometry during burn shock and resuscitation.

The instrument utilizes two six-port diaphragm valves as the interfaces between three, in-series capillary columns housed in a standard Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph fitted with a high data acquisition rate flame ionization detector. The modulation periods for sampling column one by column two and column two by column three are set so that a minimum of three slices (more commonly four or five) are acquired by the subsequent dimension resulting in both comprehensive and quantitative data. A 26-component test mixture and quantitative standards are analyzed using the GC³ instrument. A useful methodologr for three-dimensional (3D) data analysis is evaluated, based on the chemometric technique parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Since the GC³ instrument produces trilinear data, we are able to use this powerful chemometric technique, which is better known for the analysis of two-dimensional (2D) separations with multichannel detection (e.g., GC x GC-TOFMS) or multiple samples (or replicates) of 2D data. Using PARAFAC, we mathematically separate (deconvolute) the 3D data "volume" for overlapped analytes (i.e., ellipsoids), provided there is sufficient chromatographic resolution in each of the three separation dimensions. Additionally, PARAFAC is applied to quantify analyte standards. For the quantitative analysis, it is demonstrated that PARAFAC may provide a 10-fold improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio relative to a traditional integration method applied to the raw, baseline-corrected data. The GC³ instrument obtains a 3D peak capacity of 3500 at a chromatographic resolution of one in each separation dimension. Furthermore, PARAFAC deconvolution provides a considerable enhancement in the effective 3D peak capacity.

The objective of the present study was to identify soluble proteins in rat soleus muscle that were responsive to different levels of dietary zinc. Rats (n=21) were fed diets containing three concentrations of zinc: 5, 30 and 200 ppm for 42 days. There was no difference in body weights of the rats consuming the 5-ppm zinc diet compared to the rats consuming the 30- or 200-ppm zinc diets; however, bone zinc levels were significantly decreased in the 5-ppm dietary zinc group. Individual soluble protein fractions were isolated from these muscles and the samples were prepared for two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The expression levels of four proteins were significantly depressed by dietary Zn depletion and supplementation, S-glutathiolated carbonic anhydrase, myosin light polypeptide 3, heat shock protein 20 and heart fatty acid binding protein. This is the first report that indicates that both Zn depletion and supplementation result in protein expression profiles that may negatively affect skeletal muscle function. These results indicate that there are specific signaling pathways that require proper Zn nutriture for maintaining optimal muscle function and suggest that the consumption of pharmacologic doses of Zn may be detrimental to muscle function.

Methods: HS was induced in anesthetized sheep (n =8) by removing 40 ml/kg of blood in four 10 ml/kg steps over 40 min. Resuscitation was performed with lactated Ringer''s and re-infusion of shed blood. Renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) was measured by microneurography. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) employed fast-Fourier transformation of the R-to-R interval (RRI) of the EKG. This generated the normalized high-frequency (HFnu) and low-frequency (LFnu) powers of the RRI, and their ratio (LFnu/HFnu, a proposed index of sympatho-vagal balance). Additionally, non-linear methods were applied: RRI complexity was measured by approximate (ApEn) and sample (SampEn) entropy methods; RRI fractal dimension was measured by curve lengths (FDCL). Plasma catecholamines were determined by HPLC. Results: The model caused profound HS; 2/8 animals survived till the end of resuscitation. RSNA increased in 7/8 sheep and, as HS progressed, multiple burst complexes were identified followed by sympathetic withdrawal. Concomitant decreases in HFnu and increases in LFnu/HFnu occurred after 20 ml/kg blood loss. ApEn and FDCL decreased after withdrawal of 40 ml/kg of blood. Catecholamine concentrations increased throughout HS. LFnu/HFnu and RSNA were not linearly correlated. Conclusions: HS led to an increase in RSNA with subsequent withdrawal. LFnu/HFnu increased during HS in association with vagal withdrawal and loss of RRI complexity. RRI complexity may in part reflect vagal modulation of the heart rate. Changes in directly measured tonic sympathetic traffic do not correlate with non-invasive measures of autonomic modulation of the heart.

In this method, volumes within 0.001 electrons/bohr3isosurfaces of electron density for the constituent isolated neutral and ionic molecules are calculated to define the molecular volume or formula unit volumes used in predicting the crystal density. The B3LYP density functional theory in conjunction with the 6-31G basis set were employed to generate the electron densities. The suitability of this method of crystal density prediction was assessed by subjecting a large number (289) of molecular and ionic crystals to the procedure and comparing results with experimental information. The results indicate that, for neutral molecular crystals, the root-mean-square (rms) deviation from experiment is within 4%, whereas the rms deviation is somewhat larger for the 71 ionic crystals evaluated (within 5%).

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2007/10/23/ VL - 46 IS - 42 M3 - Article SP - 11771 EP - 11779 SN - 00062960 AB - The reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by oxime is the most important step in the treatment of nerve agent poisoning. Since the evaluation of nerve agent antidotes cannot be conducted in humans, results from animal experiments are extrapolated to humans. Guinea pig is one of the animal models that is frequently used for conducting nerve agent antidote evaluations. Several investigations have demonstrated that the efficacy of an oxime primarily depends on its ability to reactivate nerve agent-inhibited AChE. if the in vitro oxime reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited animal AChE is similar to that of human AChE, it is likely that the results of an in vivo animal study will reliably extrapolate to humans. Therefore, the goal of this study was to compare the reactivation of guinea pig and human AChEs inhibited by six different G and V type nerve agents. Reactivation kinetic studies with five mono- and bis-pyridinium oximes showed that oxime reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited human AChE in most cases was faster than guinea pig AChE. The most significant enhancement was observed in the reactivation of human AChE inhibited by nerve agents containing bulky side chains GF, GD, and VR, by H-series oximes HLo-7, HI-6, and ICD-585. In these cases, species-related differences observed between the two AChEs, based on the second-order reactivation rate constants, were 90- to over 400-fold. On the other hand, less than 3-fold differences were observed in the rates of aging of nerve agent-inhibited guinea pig and human AChEs. These results suggest that the remarkable species-related differences observed in the reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited guinea pig and human AChEs were not due to differences in the rates of aging. These results also suggest that guinea pig may not be an appropriate animal model for the in vivo evaluation of oxime therapy.

These materials were compared to guest–host polycarbonate films. Mach–Zehnder optical interferometers were fabricated from these polymers that contained CLD- and FTC-type chromophores. Changes in optical properties were monitored for months at four temperatures ranging from ambient to 110°C. The isothermal relaxation data were modeled using both a stretched exponential equation and a power law in time equation. The temperature dependency of the time constants of these equations was modeled using a new activation-energy equation: ln(τ/τ p)= E R(1+tanh[(T c − T)/D])/2RT + E p/RT where T c is the central temperature of the transition zone, D is the breadth of the zone, and Es are the activation energies of rigid and pliable materials. Multi-year high-temperature stability of the poled guest–host and side-chain materials was predicted.

In the first, Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE), coupled with warm rolling has been used to fabricate UFG W, and high pressure torsion (HPT) was used to fabricate NC W. We demonstrate an abrupt shift in the deformation mechanism, particularly under dynamic compressive loading, in UFG and NC W. This novel deformation mechanism, a dramatic transition from a uniform deformation mode to that of localized shearing, is shared by other UFG and NC body-centerd cubic (BCC) metals. We have also conducted a series of bottom-up experiments to consolidate powdered UFG W precursors into solid bodies. The bottom-up approach relies on rapid, high-temperature consolidation, specifically designed for UFG and NC W powders. The mechanical property results from the top-down UFG and NC W were used as minimum property benchmarks to guide and design the experimental protocols and parameters for use in the bottom-up procedures. Preliminary results, showing rapid grain growth during the consolidation cycle, did not achieve full density in the W samples. Further development of high-purity W nanopowders and appropriate grain-growth inhibitors (e.g., Zener pinning) will be required to successfully produce bulk-sized UFG and NC W samples.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2007/10/15/ VL - 79 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 7924 EP - 7927 SN - 00032700 AB - The concept and definition of orthogonality in the context of comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) separations are interesting topics of active discussion. Over the years, several approaches have been taken to quantify the degree of orthogonality, primarily to serve as a metric to optimize (and compare) comprehensive 2D separations. Recently, a mathematical function was reported that is qualitatively instructive for the purpose of providing such a metric. However, the mathematical function has some quantitative shortcomings. Herein, we both explore and partially correct this function. The orthogonality metric, referred to previously and herein as the orthogonality, O, was mathematically related to the fraction of the 2D separation space occupied by compounds (i.e., fractional coverage) and the peak capacity, P, for one dimension of the 2D separation. The fractional coverage, f, is simply related to the percentage coverage, which is equal to 100%(f). Our main finding was that the values for O as a function of P for a given percentage coverage achieve a constant value at large P but deviate severely to lower O values at small P. For comprehensive 2D separations operated such that the second dimension is at small P, the findings we report have consequences for those who consider applying the O metric. Finally, it is discussed that the percentage coverage may be a better metric to gauge the extent to which the compounds in a given sample mixture have been disseminated in the 2D separation space.

The plants under investigation ranged from subalpine/alpine Geum montanum through alpine Geum reptans, Poa alpina var. vivipara, and Oxyria digyna to nival Cerastium uniflorum and R. glacialis. The general leaf structure (by light microscopy) and leaf mesophyll cell ultrastructure (by transmission electron microscopy [TEM]) did not show any specialized structures unique to these mountain species. However, chloroplast protrusion formation could be found in G. reptans and, to a greater extent, in O. digyna. The other species exhibited only a low percentage of such chloroplast structural changes. Occurrence of protrusions in samples of G. montanum and O. digyna growing in a mild climate at about 50 m above sea level was drastically reduced. Serial TEM sections of O. digyna cells showed that the protrusions can appear as rather broad and long appendices of plastids, often forming pocketlike structures where mitochondria and microbodies are in close vicinity to the plastid and to each other. It is suggested that some high-alpine plants may form such protrusions to facilitate fast exchange of molecules between cytoplasm and plastid as an adaptation to the short, often unfavorable vegetation period in the Alps, while other species may have developed different types of adaptation that are not expressed in ultrastructural changes of the plastids.

The discussion was purposefully narrow in its scope, but other literature should be considered to properly frame the larger question of cohesion's function in military settings. Specifically, current and future discussions should acknowledge: (1) the primary function of cohesion as revealed in historical and observational accounts of soldiers in combat; (2) emergent similarities between social support and cohesion, which support the notion that cohesion acts as a moderator rather than a main effect of performance; and (3) findings from a recent meta-analysis that contradict those of Mullen and Cooper. Viewing cohesion's relation to performance as indirect rather than direct has very different and important implications for research, applications, and expected effects of cohesion on group performance.

It is often referred to in intellectual shorthand as the primacy of policy. This article questions the extent to which emphasis on the primacy of policy has been overstressed, influenced perhaps by the strategic context of the Cold War. Clausewitz's trinitarian concept of war—hostility, chance, political purpose—which appears in what scholars generally agree is On War's only finished chapter, does not portray policy as more dominant than the other tendencies; instead, it presents them as equals, stressing only each one's uniqueness in relation to the others. Reinterpreting policy as equal to the other two aspects of the trinity tends to strengthen the relevance of Clausewitz's overall theory to contemporary wars.

The survey area (280 m long by 20 to 60 m wide) crossed Ridges I through 5 in the southwest portion of the site. The ridges were revealed as variegated bands of positive and negative magnetic anomalies whereas the swales appeared to be relatively homogeneous. Ridge I, nearest the plaza, is wider and higher but has less of a flank midden than the other ridges. Two roughly circular arrangements of anomalies on Ridge I are potentially important but cannot be reliably interpreted without ground truthing excavations. Future large-area, high-resolution magnetic gradient surveys could dramatically enhance our understanding of this enigmatic site.

A segment of the vehicle’s path was obscured behind a small, 6.7-m high, vegetated hill. The combination of the hill and upwind propagation created an acoustic shadow during this segment. DOA tracks were estimated with a minimum-variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer operating in two frequency bands: 25–60Hz and 60–105Hz. In the lower frequency band, array sizes between 1 and 8m gave the best results, with DOA errors between 2° and 5°. Furthermore, in this band shadowing from the hill and wind refraction had a minimal affect on DOA error. In the higher frequency band, the acoustic shadow zone produced a distinct interval of high DOA error, with the 8-m array giving the best overall performance. Modeling of the beamforming process shows that high DOA errors corresponded to MVDR wavenumber patterns that are degraded by distortions to the propagating wavefronts. Our experimental results indicate that small acoustic arrays with apertures less than 0.3m, operating at frequencies above 100Hz, should be considered line of sight sensors. Given the moderate complexity of the test conditions, it is anticipated that the observed effects are likely to be present in most attempts to localize outdoor sound sources.

We calculated the incidence proportion, an estimation of risk, by gender and class year, and the incidence proportion ratio comparing men and women by class year. We also calculated incidence rates by gender and type of sport played and incidence rate ratios comparing men and women. Results: There were 353 anterior cruciate ligament injuries in the 10 classes studied. We found an overall, 4-year incidence proportion of 3.24 per 100 (95% confidence interval, 2.89-3.63) for men and 3.51 (95% confidence interval, 2.65-4.65) for women (incidence proportion ratio, 1.09 [95% confidence interval, 0.80-1.47]). The overall anterior cruciate ligament injury rate, excluding male-only sports, was significantly greater in women (incidence rate ratio, 1.51 [95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.21]). We found significantly greater injury rates among women in a gymnastics course (incidence rate ratio, 5.67 [95% confidence interval, 1.99-16.16]), indoor obstacle course test (incidence rate ratio, 3.72 [95% confidence interval, 1.25-11.10]), and basketball (incidence rate ratio, 2.42 [95% confidence interval, 1.05-5.59]). Conclusion: We found little gender difference in the overall risk of an anterior cruciate ligament tear; however, there were gender differences in injury rates when specific sports and activities were compared and when male-only sports were removed from the overall rate assessment.

The investigation of the relationship between disturbance from off-road vehicles and the intensity of the activities that involve use of vehicles is essential for water and soil conservation and facility management. Models have been developed in a previous study to predict disturbance caused by off-road vehicles. However, the effect of data on model quality and model performance, and the appropriate structure of models have not been previously investigated. In order to improve the quality and performance of disturbance models, this study was designed to investigate the effects of model structure and data. The experiment considered and tested: (1) two measures of disturbance based on the Vegetation Cover Factor (C Factor) of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and Disturbance Intensity; (2) model structure using two modeling approaches; and (3) three subsets of data. The adjusted R-square and residuals from validation data are used to represent model quality and performance, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to identify factors which have significant effects on model quality and performance. The results of the ANOVA show that subsets of data have significant effects on both model quality and performance for both measures of disturbance. The ANOVA also detected that the C Factor models have higher quality and performance than the Disturbance models. Although modeling approaches are not a significant factor based on the ANOVA tests, models containing interaction terms can increase the adjusted R-squares for nearly all tested conditions and the maximum improvement can reach 31%.

Moreover, these endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have long term consequences on adult reproductive function, especially if exposure occurs during embryonic development thereby affecting sexual differentiation. Of the EDCs, most of the research has been conducted on the effects of estrogen active compounds. Although androgen active compounds are also present in the environment, much less information is available about their action. However, in the case of xenoestrogens, there is mounting evidence for long-term consequences of early exposure at a range of doses. In this review, we present data relative to two widely used animal models: the mouse and the Japanese quail. These two species long have been used to understand neural, neuroendocrine, and behavioral components of reproduction and are therefore optimal models to understand how these components are altered by precocious exposure to EDCs. In particular we discuss effects of bisphenol A and methoxychlor on the dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems in rodents and the impact of these alterations. In addition, the effects of embryonic exposure to diethylstilbestrol, genistein or ethylene,1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl) is reviewed relative to behavioral impairment and associated alterations in the sexually dimorphic parvocellular vasotocin system in quail. We point out how sexually dimorphic behaviors are particularly useful to verify adverse developmental consequences produced by chemicals with endocrine disrupting properties, by examining either reproductive or non-reproductive behaviors.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/10// VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2215 EP - 2225 SN - 07307268 AB - Use of small arms during training is an important activity associated with the development and proficiency of soldiers. These weapons traditionally have used copper-jacketed lead projectiles; the copper facilitates the oxidation of the metallic lead resulting in more mobile oxides and carbonates. Consequently, many ranges at installations have high soil concentrations of lead. Many of these ranges are no longer used and have become habitat for wildlife. To address the potential for adverse effects from lead exposure in songbirds, we compared the outputs of traditional deterministic exposure models with a spatial model and compared the results of both with blood-lead levels from songbird species at two small arms range complexes. An integrative data collection procedure was used and incorporated into the spatially explicit exposure model (SEEM) for two small arms range sites. Site-specific data were used to refine model input parameters. These data included lead soil concentrations, analysis of lead concentrations in nestling food items, acid-insoluble ash content of feces (to estimate soil ingestion), location and mapping of singing males, and nest site location and characteristics. Territorial males also were spot-mapped to determine likelihood of breeding activity. Modeled estimates of risk were compared with blood and feather lead levels of adults and nestlings. Overall, edge species had higher blood-lead concentrations; however, most had concentrations below subclinical effect levels. Conventional deterministic methods produced risk estimates exceeding 10-fold the highest SEEM estimates. The spatially explicit exposure model provided good agreement with field observations and therefore produced more accurate risk estimates. The present study provides support for the application of spatial methods over conventional deterministic methods.

T1 - EFFECTS OF SUBCHRONIC EXPOSURE TO 2,6-DINITROTOLUENE IN THE NORTHERN BOBWHITE (COLINUS VIRGINIANUS). JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/10// VL - 26 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2202 EP - 2207 SN - 07307268 AB - Explosives and their breakdown products are commonly found in soils at U.S. military installations. Many areas where these compounds are found represent useful habitat for ground-foraging birds. Because these birds likely are exposed to such compounds, we evaluated the oral toxicity of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT) in a representative ground-foraging species of management concern. Adult male and female northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were exposed to either 0, 5, 10, 40, or 60 mg/kg/d via gavage for 60 d (subchronic) following determination of the median acute lethal dose (320 mg/kg). Circulating levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner; however, levels remained within normal ranges. Plasma concentrations of total protein, albumin, globulin, aspartate aminotransferase, and potassium, sodium, and chlorine ions were significantly decreased, and circulating levels of uric acid were significantly increased. Decreased body weight, enlarged gallbladders, edematous gastrointestinal tracts, pale kidneys, pale and fibrous livers, and loose stools were consistent observations. The effects found in the clinical chemistries taken together with histopathological abnormalities observed in sections of hepatic and renal tissue suggest that the liver and kidneys are major targets for 2,6-DNT. Oral exposures to 2,6-DNT appear to affect northern bobwhite in a manner similar to that of the other main DNT isomer, 2,4-DNT, but in more subtle ways, adversely affecting the gastrointestinal system and leading to diarrhea and, ultimately, emaciation. The lowest-observed-adverse-effect level is 40 mg/kg/d based on hematological measures, and the no-observed-adverse-effect level is 10 mg/kg/d based on the absence of results indicative of adverse effects.

The on-line diagnostic algorithm is designed for in-flight fault detection. It continuously monitors engine outputs for anomalous signatures induced by faults. The off-line diagnostic algorithm is designed to track engine health degradation over the lifetime of an engine. It estimates engine health degradation periodically over the course of the engine's life. The estimate generated by the off-line algorithm is used to "update" the on-line algorithm. Through this integration, the on-line algorithm becomes aware of engine health degradation, and its effectiveness to detect faults can be maintained while the engine continues to degrade. The benefit of this integration is investigated in a simulation environment using a nonlinear engine model.

The biasing effect for langasite resonators is crucial for resonator design. In this article, the resonant frequency shift of a thickness-mode langasite resonator is analyzed with respect to a direct current (DC) electric field applied in the thickness direction. The vibration modes of a thin langasite plate fully coated with an electrode are analyzed. The analysis is based on the theory for small fields superposed on a bias in electroelastic bodies and the first-order perturbation integral theory. The electroelastic effect of the resonator is analyzed by both analytical and finite-element methods. The complete set of nonlinear elastic, piezoelectric, dielectric permeability, and electrostrictive constants of langasite is used in the theoretical and numerical analysis. The sensitivity of electroelastic effect to nonlinear material constants is analyzed.

Elastic properties are needed to ensure minimal deflections and moisture transfer properties are needed to ensure high moisture transfer rates between the liquid desiccant and air streams. In this research, two ASTM tension test standards (D 882 and D 4595) and circular and square bulge tests are used to determine the elastic moduli of two membranes; the dynamic moisture permeation cell is used to determine the water vapour resistance. The experimental data show the effects of membrane orientation, strain rate and relative humidity on the elastic properties and the effect of humidity on the water vapour resistance. Results show that the bulge test is best suited for the proposed application of a pressurized membrane channel since it includes biaxial effects and gives accurate data that are easy to measure and more closely represent a membrane channel under uniform pressure. The measured elastic moduli and water vapour resistances are applied to estimate the deflections of a pressurized membrane channel supported by a screen with square openings and the energy transfer effectiveness of an energy recovery system consisting of two liquid-to-air membrane energy exchangers.

However, the processes of infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration in the vadose zone of the soil are not easy to quantify or predict because of the difficulty in accurately representing soil texture and hydraulic properties in land surface models. This study approaches the problem of parameterizing soil properties from a unique perspective based on components originally developed for operational estimation of soil moisture for mobility assessments. Estimates of near-surface soil moisture derived from passive (L-band) microwave remote sensing were acquired on six dates during the Monsoon ''90 experiment in southeastern Arizona, and used to calibrate hydraulic properties in an offline land surface model and infer information on the soil conditions of the region. Specifically, a robust parameter estimation tool (PEST) was used to calibrate the Noah land surface model and run at very high spatial resolution across the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed. Errors in simulated versus observed soil moisture were minimized by adjusting the soil texture, which in turn controls the hydraulic properties through the use of pedotransfer functions. By estimating within a continuous range of widely applicable soil properties such as sand, silt, and clay percentages rather than applying rigid soil texture classes, lookup tables, or large parameter sets as in previous studies, the physical accuracy and consistency of the resulting soils could then be assessed. In addition, the sensitivity of this calibration method to the number and timing of microwave retrievals is determined in relation to the temporal patterns in precipitation and soil drying. The resultant soil properties were applied to an extended time period demonstrating the improvement in simulated soil moisture over that using default or county-level soil parameters. The methodology is also applied to an independent case at Walnut Gulch using a new soil moisture product from active (C-band) radar imagery with much lower spatial and temporal resolution. Overall, results demonstrate the potential to gain physically meaningful soil information using simple parameter estimation with few but appropriately timed remote sensing retrievals.

JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America JF - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Y1 - 2007/09// VL - 122 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1374 EP - 1390 SN - 00014966 AB - Outdoor sound propagation predictions are compromised by uncertainty and error in the atmosphere and terrain representations, and sometimes also by simplified or incorrect physics. A model’s predictive power, i.e., its accurate representation of the sound propagation, cannot be assessed without first quantifying the ensemble sound pressure variability and sensitivity to uncertainties in the model’s governing parameters. This paper describes fundamental steps toward this goal for a single-frequency point source. The atmospheric surface layer is represented through Monin-Obukhov similarity theory and the acoustic ground properties with a relaxation model. Sound propagation is predicted with the parabolic equation method. Governing parameters are modeled as independent random variables across physically reasonable ranges. Latin hypercube sampling and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) are employed in conjunction with cluster-weighted models to develop compact representations of the sound pressure random field. Full-field sensitivity of the sound pressure field is computed via the sensitivities of the POD mode coefficients to the system parameters. Ensemble statistics of the full-field sensitivities are computed to illustrate their relative importance at every down range location. The central role of sensitivity analysis in uncertainty quantification of outdoor sound propagation is discussed and pitfalls of sampling-based sensitivity analysis for outdoor sound propagation are described.

In a recently published paper [S. Vecherin et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 119, 2579 (2006)], a time-dependent stochastic inversion (TDSI) was developed for the reconstruction of these fields from travel times of sound propagation between sources and receivers in a tomography array. TDSI accounts for the correlation of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations both in space and time and therefore yields more accurate reconstruction of these fields in comparison with algebraic techniques and regular stochastic inversion. To use TDSI, one needs to estimate spatial-temporal covariance functions of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations. In this paper, these spatial-temporal covariance functions are derived for locally frozen turbulence which is a more general concept than a widely used hypothesis of frozen turbulence. The developed theory is applied to reconstruction of temperature and wind velocity fields in the acoustic tomography experiment carried out by University of Leipzig, Germany. The reconstructed temperature and velocity fields are presented and errors in reconstruction of these fields are studied.

Although trampling studies have been conducted in the past, the analysis of military training in part provides a different perspective and approach. The data showed bulk densities remained relatively constant for a time and then began to increase at an increasing rate for several hundred passes and finally leveled and remained at or below 1.30g/cm3 through the remainder of the experiment. Mathematical models were created based on empirical data from a trampling experiment using a more standard logistical growth curve as well as curves based on Weibull and gamma cumulative distribution functions (CDFs). The experiment and the resulting models give quantifiable continuous inference on the effects of trampling, as opposed to the existing qualitative assessments. These baseline models will be the foundation for future studies of land management when trampling occurs.

Measurements showed that size selectivity in a sediment mixture decreases as shear stress increases. Transport of variously sized sediment particles approaches equal mobility as the transported bed load is composed approximately of the same size particles as surface-bed material. Consequently, a hiding function was derived to account for the increase or reduction in reference shear stress for an individual size class in a sediment mixture as compared with that in an uniformly sized sediment. An empirical equation for determining fractional bed-load transport rate was then formulated by correlating the dimensionless, fractional bed-load transport rate with the dimensionless bed-shear stress. This equation indicated that the hiding function depends not only on the size of individual size class but also on the flow depth used to quantify the magnitude of shear stress. The present study contributes to the body of knowledge used in predicting selective transport of sediment mixtures in gravel-bed streams.

Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight is the primary virucidal agent in the environment but the time that influenza virus remains infectious outside its infected host remains to be established. In this study, we calculated the expected inactivation of influenza A virus by solar ultraviolet radiation in several cities of the world during different times of the year. The inactivation rates reported here indicate that influenza A virions should remain infectious after release from the host for several days during the winter “flu season” in many temperate-zone cities, with continued risk for reaerosolization and human infection. The correlation between low and high solar virucidal radiation and high and low disease prevalence, respectively, suggest that inactivation of viruses in the environment by solar UV radiation plays a role in the seasonal occurrence of influenza pandemics.

These include maps, descriptions, or a combination of these as displayed traditionally on paper or through high-tech (handheld and in-vehicle) navigation devices. Maps provide a graphic representation of an environment and can vary in level of spatial (e.g., granularity) and labeling (e.g., label addition/removal) details. Likewise, written descriptions of an environment also vary in their levels of spatial (e.g., inclusion or exclusion of spatial information) and labeling (e.g., label addition/removal) detail. Importantly, experience within and memory for an environment may change as a function of these variations. The present experiments examine the interactions of spatial and labeling detail in generating and using mental representations of college campuses. The results of four experiments demonstrate that reducing spatial details through graphic generalization can increase memory for verbally presented information. Results additionally demonstrate the importance of balancing spatial and verbal detail in maps and descriptions in correspondence with human working memory constraints. Accordingly, we present a limited model of appropriate spatial and verbal generalization strategies, with particular regard to implementation in geographical positioning devices.

Sulfonated samples showed an additional minor loss of mass at approximately 290±2°C, which was not observed in the unsulfonated polymer. At this temperature, desulfonation or a cleavage reaction of the aromatic carbon–sulfur bond occurs. The counter-ion substituted membranes did not show the degradation temperature at 290°C, but additional unique degradation temperatures above 500°C, suggesting improved thermal stability for the ionically cross-linked polymer with cations. Some cations (Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+), showed multiple high temperature degradations, which suggest that different cross-linked structures are formed throughout the phase segregated morphology.

Yet, one must not overlook the wide array of factors involved in managing nanomaterial development, ranging from the technical specifications of the material to possible adverse effects in humans. Other opportunities to evaluate benefits and risks are inherent in environmental health and safety (EHS) issues related to nanotechnology. However, there is currently no structured approach for making justifiable and transparent decisions with explicit trade-offs between the many factors that need to be taken into account. While many possible decision-making approaches exist, we believe that multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a powerful and scientifically sound decision analytical framework for nanomaterial risk assessment and management. This paper combines state-of-the-art research in MCDA methods applicable to nanotechnology with a hypothetical case study for nanomaterial management. The example shows how MCDA application can balance societal benefits against unintended side effects and risks, and how it can also bring together multiple lines of evidence to estimate the likely toxicity and risk of nanomaterials given limited information on physical and chemical properties. The essential contribution of MCDA is to link this performance information with decision criteria and weightings elicited from scientists and managers, allowing visualization and quantification of the trade-offs involved in the decision-making process.

Five years of historical yield and weather data were used to calibrate the model over 100 spatially variable grid cells for non-irrigated conditions in the 20.25ha field. This calibrated model then used 28 years of historical weather data to simulate three irrigation scenarios: no irrigation, scheduled uniform irrigation, and precision irrigation. Irrigation improved yield by at least 500kgha−1 in half of the years simulated. Precision irrigation showed slightly lower yields than scheduled uniform irrigation. Assuming use of a center pivot system, irrigation showed economic returns in only one of the 28 years included in the study. High capital costs were the leading restrictor of economic feasibility.

Although these composites offer numerous advantages such as the ability to tune strength to weight ratios for each particular application, composites are susceptible to numerous damage mechanisms and environmental factors. Accidental in-field impacts resulting from mishandling or transportation loads have been identified by the U.S. Army as the primary cause of damage in composite weapon systems. This paper presents a hybrid approach to detect, locate, and quantify damage in filament wound canisters using a complementary set of vibration-based (transmissibility and embedded sensitivity) and wave propagation-based (phased array beamforming) methods. It is shown that this hybrid approach accurately detects, locates, and quantifies the damage imposed by 1.36 and 6.78 N-m impact energies. By measuring the static stiffness of the baseline canister at the mid-point, it was determined that the 1.36 N-m impact resulted in an overall 6% reduction of the tubes bending stiffness, while the 6.78 N-m impact resulted in a 28% reduction.

JO - Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science JF - Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science Y1 - 2007/08// VL - 116 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 139 EP - 147 SN - 00736767 AB - Vehicle tracking systems were installed on four military vehicles (M813 cargo truck, M998 utility vehicle, M548A cargo carrier, M1025 utility vehicle) at Camp Atterbury, Indiana to assess the impact of tracking by these vehicle types on vegetation loss. Study data were used to estimate parameters for models previously reported in the literature and to validate model results. Instrumented vehicles were driven through courses of varying velocities and turning radii. Vegetation loss was recorded immediately after tracking. The tracked M548A cargo carrier caused the most site damage. The wheeled M813 cargo truck caused more vegetation loss than either of the other wheeled vehicles (M998 utility vehicle or M 1025 utility vehicle). Power equations using vehicle type and turning radius as the independent variables predicted vegetation loss with an R2 value of 0.845. Using only straight-line tracking data from our study to estimate parameters of a model proposed in an earlier reported study, we were able to predict vegetation loss for a range of turning radii almost as effectively as using the complete data set (R2 = 0.843). Using vehicle weights combined with impact models proposed in an earlier study, we were able to predict vegetation loss for untested vehicles almost as well as with field data (R2 = 0.810). Results from our study indicate that vehicle impact data and models can be applied to untested vehicles and reasonably estimate vegetation loss at Camp Atterbury. The ability to estimate site impacts of untested vehicles allows installation natural resources personnel to more accurately assess proposed land management actions in a timely and economical manner.

Indiana, to assess the impact of vehicle traffic on vegetation. Vehicle tracking systems recorded the position of each vehicle every second. Instrumented vehicles were driven through courses of varying velocities and turning radii. GPS position data were used to calculate vehicle velocities and turnin g radii throughout the course. Vegetation damage along vehicle tracks was recorded immediately, 5 months (end of the first growing season) and 12 months after tracking. Vegetation damage was quantified by both the amount of vegetation lost and the area impacted. Vehicle type, turning radius (TR). velocity (V), and TR·V interaction were found to significantly affect all vegetation damage measures. The tracked M88 tank recovery vehicle caused more vegetation loss than either of the wheeled vehicles (M35A3 cargo truck and M1009 utility cargo vehicle). Decreasing turning radius increased vegetation loss for all vehicles. Increased vegetation loss associated with turning was a function of both greater vegetation loss within the track and a wider tracked area. Power equations using only turning radius and vehicle type as independent variables predicted vegetation damage measures with R2 values ranging from 0.822 to 0.933. A critical turning radius between 15-20 m differentiated turning radii with relatively high vegetation loss as compared to straight-line tracking. Recovery of vegetation cover to pretreatment levels ranged from approximately 6-12 months, depending on impact treatment.

JO - Annual Review of Nutrition JF - Annual Review of Nutrition Y1 - 2007/08// VL - 27 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 41 EP - 61 SN - 01999885 AB - Glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1) represents the first identified mammalian selenoprotein, and our understanding in the metabolic regulation and function of this abundant selenoenzyme has greatly advanced during the past decade. Selenocysteine insertion sequence-associating factors, adenosine, and Abl and Arg tyrosine kinases are potent, Se-independent regulators of GPX1 gene, protein, and activity. Overwhelming evidences have been generated using the GPX1 knockout and transgenic mice for the in vivo protective role of GPX1 in coping with oxidative injury and death mediated by reactive oxygen species. However, GPX1 exerts an intriguing dual role in reactive nitrogen species (RNS)-related oxidative stress. Strikingly, knockout of GPX1 rendered mice resistant to toxicities of drugs including acetaminophen and kainic acid, known as RNS inducers. Intracellular and tissue levels of GPX1 activity affect apoptotic signaling pathway, protein kinases phosphorylation, and oxidant-mediated activation of NFκB. Data are accumulating to link alteration or abnormality of GPX1 expression to etiology of cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, autoimmune disease, and diabetes. Future research should focus on the mechanism of GPX1 in the pathogeneses and potential applications of GPX1 manipulation in the treatment of these disorders.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2007/08// VL - 45 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2483 EP - 2491 SN - 01962892 AB - Dispersion of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) waves can occur when they are trapped in a layer. In this paper, we analyze the modal propagation of GPR pulses through a layer of ice that is overlying water. Dispersed transverse electric (TE) waves that are trapped in the waveguide have larger amplitudes than the critically refracted waves that travel through air, whereas the transverse magnetic (TM) critically refracted waves traveling through air are more dominant than the trapped dispersed TM waves. This can be explained by the leaky waveguide behavior of the ice layer. The reflection coefficients for the waves incident on the ice-water interface show that the TM modes are more leaky than the TE modes. Still, clear dispersion is observed in both cases, which depends on the permittivity and thickness of the ice. Similar to inversion of dispersed Rayleigh waves, these parameters can be estimated by calculating phase-velocity spectra, picking dispersion curves, and inverting the dispersion curves using a combined local and global minimization procedure. Synthetic data show several higher order modes of which separate and combined inversions return the input modeling parameters accurately. Experimental data acquired on a frozen lake show strong dispersion for the TE and TM modes. The phase-velocity spectra of the field data show three TE and four TM modes of which separate and combined inversion of different modes return similar values for the ice thickness and known permittivity of ice. Due to the more leaky behavior of the TM modes, the TE inversion is better constrained and more suitable for inversion.

PXR is an intense, quasi-monochromatic, energy-tunable, and polarized X-ray source derived from the interaction of relativistic electrons with the periodic structure of crystal materials. Experiments were performed using highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), LiF, Si, Ge, Cu, and W target crystal radiators. Smooth X-ray energy tunability is achieved by rotating the crystal with respect to the electron beam direction. Measured energy linewidths consistently agreed with predicted values except in cases using lower quality HOPG. When the predicted energy linewidth was narrower than our Si X-ray detector resolution (350eV at 17.5KeV), a near-absorption edge transmission technique that takes advantage of the PXR energy tunabilty was used to measure the PXR energy linewidth for example, Si(400) FWHM of 134eV at 9.0keV (2%). Per electron, the photon production efficiency of PXR is comparable to synchrotron radiation sources. A theoretical model that considers electron multiple scattering, electron divergence, and crystal mosaicity was used to broaden the PXR photon distribution in order to calculate the predicted PXR photon yield. Comparing measurements and calculations resulted in a typical relative error below 50%. In some cases with LiF, the differences between predicted and measured values were as low as 2% for LiF(400). Finally, this work reports for the first-time PXR imaging. This was achieved using LiF(220) interacting with 56MeV electrons with electron beam currents up to 6μA. The LiF and graphite PXR target crystals were compared for use in soft tissue imaging, e.g. mammography using energies 17–20keV. Low Z materials like graphite and LiF were most suitable for PXR production because of their low Bremsstrahlung production, electron scattering, and photon absorption. Graphite was more efficient at producing PXR photons while the LiF energy line width was narrower.

S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is evaluating silicon carbide thyristors to determine the extent of silicon carbide capabilities as a possible replacement for silicon in future pulsed switching applications. Individual SiC die measuring 4 mm × 4 mm were pulsed at high temperatures and varying pulse widths. At 150 °C, these thyristors were switched in an RLC circuit up to 3.2 kA and repetitively pulsed at 2.6 kA and 5 Hz for greater than 14,000 pulses. A pulse forming network (PFN) was designed to increase the pulse width and the action seen by the SiC devices. At ambient temperature and a peak current of 2 kA, SIC thyristors were switched in the PFN at a 50% pulse width of 40 µs and an action of 150 A²s. These devices were also pulsed at narrower pulse widths in pairs to look at their behavior in parallel. One pair reached a peak total current of 6.7 kA with current sharing as good as 51% / 49%. This paper includes further data on the three aforementioned test procedures, as well as analysis of the devices' failure points.

T1 - The determination of tungsten, molybdenum, and phosphorus oxyanions by high performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometery JO - Talanta JF - Talanta Y1 - 2007/07/31/ VL - 72 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1828 EP - 1832 SN - 00399140 AB - Abstract: The toxic properties of tungsten compounds have recently been brought to the forefront with clusters of human cancer cases, such as in Fallon, NV. Such instances have made the determination of tungsten in natural water supplies vitally important. Tungsten exists in most environmental matrices as the soluble and mobile tungstate anion, although it can polymerize with itself and other anions, such as molybdate and phosphate. Because the geochemical and toxicological properties of these polymer species will vary from the monomeric tungstate parent, determination of tungstate speciation is as critical as determination of total dissolved tungsten concentration. Use of chromatographic separations, followed by element-specific detection is a proven technology for elemental speciation. In the present work, anion exchange chromatography has been coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to determine tungstate, molybdate, and phosphate species at the sub-μgl−1 and μgl−1 levels. The method provides quantitative determination of these species in about 10min with the capability to simultaneously determine other oxyanion species. The method has been applied to groundwater and extracts of soils amended with tungsten powder. The water soluble tungsten in 1-h deionized water extracts after six months of soil aging was >15mgl−1, however, only ∼50% of the tungsten was present as monomeric tungstate.

Electrolytes were formulated with a broad range of multifunctional behaviors, spanning continuously from highly conductive and structurally weak materials to poorly conductive and highly structural materials. Solvent-free polymer scaffolds were synthesized from monomers containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) oligomers and one to four vinyl ester groups. The electrolytes were formed by dissolving lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate in the monomers prior to thermal cure. Electrochemical, mechanical, and viscoelastic properties were studied with respect to salt concentration, polymer chemistry, and polymer architecture. The addition of salt was found to have minimal impact on compressive stiffness, whereas it increased Tgand significantly influenced ion conductivity, with a maximum conductivity at 9−12% salt w/w PEG. At a constant salt concentration, the homopolymer electrolytes exhibited close to a 1:1 inverse correlation between conductivity and stiffness as monomer composition was changed.

The currently expanding medical use of the neurotoxin to treat several disorders, as well as the potential misuse of the neurotoxin as an agent in biowarfare, has made understanding of the nature of the toxin’s catalytic activity and development of inhibitors critical. To study the catalytic activity of botulinum neurotoxin more thoroughly and characterize potential inhibitors, we have developed a capillary electrophoresis method to measure catalytic activity of different serotypes of botulinum neurotoxin using peptides derived from the native substrates. This assay requires only a minute amount of sample (25 nl), is relatively rapid (15min/sample), and allows the determination of enzyme kinetic constants for a more sophisticated characterization of inhibitors and neurotoxin catalytic activity. Using this method, we can measure activity of five of the seven serotypes of botulinum neurotoxin (A, B, E, F, and G) with two peptide substrates. Botulinum neurotoxin serotypes C and D did not cleave our peptides, lending insight into potential substrate requirements among the serotypes.

In this study, nitration of toluene was conducted in a microreactor immersed in a constant temperature bath using concentrated nitric acid as the nitrating agent. The effects of residence time, reaction temperature, and acid concentration, etc., on the reactor performance were studied. The results indicate that in the microreactor the nitration reaction proceeds rapidly, even without sulfuric acid, probably by self-protonation of nitric acid. Also, no by-products were detected. The isomeric distribution of the product nitrotoluenes was found to be identical to that generally found in the mixed-acid nitration. The results were compared with the data obtained from a batch reactor, and the microreactor reaction rates were found to be much higher than the batch reactor rates.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2007/07/15/ VL - 70 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 1191 EP - 1202 SN - 15287394 AB - The study reported herein examined the metabolism of 14C-labeled hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) resulting from a single oral gavage of 5 ml/kg to male and female Yucatan miniature pigs (43 mg/kg, 56 μCi/kg in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose in water). Blood, urine, and feces were collected at selected times of 1, 6, 12, and 24 h postdose. At 24 h postdose, liver samples were collected. Blood, plasma, liver, and excreta were analyzed for total RDX-derived radioactivity and metabolites were identified. Urine was the major route of elimination of 14C-RDX-derived radioactivity in both males and females. Relatively low levels of radioactivity were found in gastrointestinal contents and in feces, suggesting nearly complete absorption of 14C-RDX following an oral dose. Analysis of urine by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) identified quantifiable levels of two ring-cleavage metabolites, 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal and 4-nitro-2,4-diaza-butanamide, as well as parent RDX. The 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal, was seen in earlier studies of aerobic metabolism of RDX. The 4-nitro-2,4-diaza-butanamide, an amide, was not previously reported but was tentatively identified in this study. Analysis by a more sensitive method (LC/MS/MS) also showed trace amounts of the RDX metabolites 1-nitroso-3, 5-dinitro-1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane (MNX) (in both male and female urine) and 1-nitro-3, 5-dinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (DNX) (in male urine). Analysis of plasma by LC/MS/MS also revealed quantifiable levels of RDX and trace levels of MNX, DNX, and 1,3,5,-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (TNX). None of the liver extracts showed quantifiable levels of RDX or any identifiable metabolites. Most of the radioactivity was in the form of water-soluble high-molecular-weight compounds. RDX when given orally to pigs was rapidly metabolized by loss of two nitro groups followed by ring cleavage.

Crickets (Acheta domestica), tenebroid beetle larvae (Tenebrio molitor), and isopods (Porcellio scaber) were selected as model prey organisms. Lack of standard exposure methodologies for these species has presented a barrier to trophic transfer evaluations, as each species has particular requirements that create challenges for designing exposure conditions. We were able to devise exposure conditions for all three species that allow long-term exposure studies. All prey organisms accumulated lead from contaminated food, and for all species the majority of the accumulated Pb was associated with the exoskeleton (>50%), with metals-rich granules accounting for most of the remaining accumulated lead.

Infrasonic data from 2003 associated with explosions at the iron mine were analyzed for effects of explosion size and atmospheric conditions on observations with well-constrained ground truth. Noise was the determining factor for observation; high noise conditions sometimes prevented unequivocal identification of infrasound arrivals. Observed arrivals had frequencies of 0.5 to 5 Hz, with a dominant frequency of 2 Hz, and generally had durations on the order of 10 s or less. There was no correlation between explosive amount and observability. Tele-infrasonic propagation distances (greater than 250 km) produce thermospheric ray paths. Modeling is based upon MSIS/HWM (Mass Spectrometer Incoherent Scatter/Horizontal Wind Model) and NRL-G2S (Naval Research Laboratory Ground to Space) datasets. The NRL-G2S dataset provided more accurate travel time predictions that the MSIS/HWM dataset. PE modeling for the NRL-G2S dataset indicates energy loss at higher frequencies (around 4 Hz). Additionally, applying the Sutherland/Bass model through the NRL-G2S realization of the atmosphere in InfraMAP results in predicted amplitudes too small to be observed.

In this paper, approaches are described that improve computational efficiency and enforce causality. One approach involves approximating the known TDBC for the modified Zwikker-Kosten impedance model as a summation of decaying exponential functions. A second approach, which can be applied to any impedance model, involves replacing the characteristic admittance with its Padé approximation. Then, approximating fractional derivatives with decaying exponentials, a causal and recursive TDBC is formulated [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Each of these effects is such a strong contributor to the attenuation of sound that mutual interactions between the phenomena could become important. A sound propagation model for use in a forest has been developed that incorporates scattering from trunks and branches and atmospheric refraction by modifying the effective wave number in the Green’s function parabolic equation model. The ground effect for a hard-backed pine straw layer is approximated as a local reaction impedance condition. Comparisons to experimental data are made for frequencies up to 4 200 Hz. Cumulative influences of the separate phenomena are examined. The method developed in this paper is compared to previously published methods. The overall comparison with spectral transmission data is good, suggesting that the model captures the necessary details.

These indexes include the expected performance of optimal and suboptimal strategies, the benefit of explicitly considering uncertainty, and the benefit of additional information. This paper quantifies the effects on these indexes of simplifying assumptions, including discretization of the decision space, omission of some decision variables and uncertainties from the decision tree, and disregarding of risk aversion. To reduce errors arising from discretization of the decision space, we use a multidimensional cubic spline to interpolate the performance of alternatives between a few simulated points. A case study analyzes decisions concerning phosphorus loading, fisheries management, and lower trophic research projects in Lake Erie under multiple criteria and ecological uncertainties. Results show that spline-based solutions often yield potentially superior decisions from those based on discretized decision spaces, but that omitting important uncertainties makes more of a difference in this case study's decisions and indexes than simplifying the decision space. On the other hand, incorrect multicriteria weights affect the case study's outcomes more than incorrect probabilities.

Although these techniques appear to be viable, little data currently exists regarding the known or potential error rates associated with these techniques. Without adequate data, the validity and reliability of these techniques, including lab color, can not be established. In an attempt to begin to address these issues, 44 black ballpoint ink pens were obtained and used to create 990 pen-pair samples for analysis using established lab color mode techniques. No erroneous findings of “different” were reported following the examination of the known pen-pair combinations in which the same pen was used to create the samples ( n = 44). Of the remaining 946 samples, 737 pen-pair samples were differentiated using the lab color mode method, while 209 samples were unable to be differentiated and were recorded as either being “similar” ( n = 153) or “unsure” ( n = 56). Comparison of the lab color mode results with the results obtained through additional testing using traditional infrared reflectance and infrared luminescence test methods showed that lab color differentiated 102 pen-pair samples (11%; 102/946) that were not differentiated using a VSC-4C.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 26 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1481 EP - 1487 SN - 07307268 AB - Military activities associated with training have resulted in soil residues of munition compounds and their breakdown products. Often, these areas are valuable habitats used by birds. To evaluate the possibility of adverse effects in birds, the effects from oral exposures of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) were tested using a controlled dosing regime in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Nine groups of birds of mixed sex received either corn oil or 50, 100, 190, or 350 mg 2,6-DNT/kg body weight/d or 20, 80, 125, or 180 mg RDX/kg body weight/d mixed in corn oil via gavage for 14 d. Etiology of disease was markedly different between compounds. Increased RDX exposure caused an inverse relationship to time of death, symptoms including clonic followed by tonic convulsions, and death shortly thereafter. Brain concentrations of RDX postmortem, however, were relatively consistent (mean ± standard error, 20.5 ± 2.9 mg/kg tissue). Observations of 2,6-DNT effects included gastrointestinal distress, dehydration, and a reduction in body mass and feed consumption. Together, these data suggest that RDX is more toxic from short, repeated exposures than 2,6-DNT, resulting in central nervous system—related effects, whereas 2,6-DNT causes gastrointestinal disturbances at higher exposures.

The technique performs wavelet analysis of accelerometer signals from specified locations on the engine and is shown to be robust in the presence of significant process and sensor noise. It is envisioned that the technique will be combined with Kalman filter thermal/ health parameter estimation for FOD-event detection via information fusion from these (and perhaps other) sources. Due to the lack of high-frequency FOD-event test data in the open literature, a reduced-order turbofan structural model (ROM) was synthesized from a finite-element model modal analysis to support the investigation. In addition to providing test data for algorithm development, the ROM is used to determine the optimal sensor location for FOD-event detection. In the presence of significant noise, precise location of the FOD event in time was obtained using the developed wavelet-based feature.

The Kalman filter is a hybrid of a nonlinear on-board engine model (OBEM) and piecewise linear models. The utilization of the nonlinear OBEM allows the reference health baseline of the diagnostic system to be updated, through a relatively simple process, to the health condition of degraded engines. Through this health baseline update, the diagnostic effectiveness of the in-fight sensor fault detection system is maintained as the health of the engine degrades over time. The performance of the sensor fault detection system is evaluated in a simulation environment at several operating conditions during the cruise phase of flight.

Rats that were made iodine-deficient by long-term restriction of iodine in the diet absorbed a gavage dose of 131I to the thyroid in proportionally greater amounts than rats fed a normal diet. Furthermore, the iodine-deficient rats maintained their high rates of absorption even when challenged by levels of perchlorate in their drinking water sufficient to produce pronounced inhibition of 131I uptake in rats fed a normal diet. Every dose of perchlorate used in this study (1.1, 5.6, and 28 mg/L) produced significant inhibition of iodide uptake in normally fed rats, but only the highest level of perchlorate (28 mg/L) significantly inhibited thyroidal uptake of 131I in the iodine-deficient rats. Taken together, these results demonstrate that iodide-deficient animals exhibit increased resistance to the inhibition of iodine absorption resulting from perchlorate exposure.

JO - Transactions of the ASABE JF - Transactions of the ASABE Y1 - 2007/07//Jul/Aug2007 VL - 50 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1467 EP - 1479 SN - 21510032 AB - Crop growth models have recently been implemented to study precision agriculture questions within the framework of a decision support system (DSS) that automates simulations across management zones. Model calibration in each zone has occurred by automatically optimizing select model parameters to minimize error between measured and simulated yield over multiple growing seasons. However, to date, there have been no efforts to evaluate model simulations within the DSS. In this work, a model evaluation procedure based on leave-one-out cross-validation was developed to explore several issues associated with the implementation of CERES-Maize within the DSS. Five growing seasons of measured yield data from a central Iowa cornfield were available for cross-validation. Two strategies were used to divide the study area into management zones, one based on soil type and the other based on topography. The decision support system was then used to carry out the model calibration and validation simulations as required to complete the cross-validation procedure. Results demonstrated that the model's ability to simulate corn yield improved as more growing seasons were used in the cross-validation. For management zones based on topography, the average root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) from cross-validations was 1460 kg ha-1 when two growing seasons were used and 998 kg ha-1 when five years were used. Model performance was shown to vary spatially based on soil type and topography. Average RMSEP was 1651 kg ha-1 on zones of Nicollet loam, while it was 496 kg ha-1 on zones of Canisteo silty clay loam. Spatial patterns also existed between areas of higher RMSEP and areas where measured spatial yield variability was related to topography. Changes in the mean and variance of optimum parameter sets as more growing seasons were used in cross-validation demonstrated that the optimizer was able to arrive at more stable solutions in some zones as compared to others. Results suggested that cross-validation was an appropriate method for addressing several issues associated with the use of crop growth models within a DSS for precision agriculture.

A 3-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (NN) with a backpropagation learning algorithm was developed to identify potential roads. The NN was trained using a subset of the GPS data that was supplemented with field observations that documented newly formed road segments resulting from concentrated vehicle traffic during the military training exercise. The NN was subsequently applied to the full vehicle movement data set to predict potential roads for the entire training exercise. Model predictions were validated using additional installation and site visit data. The first validation used the NN to identify the existing road network as represented in the Yakima Training Center GIS roads data layer. Next, the NN was used to predict emerging road networks that had not previously existed. The NN method accurately classified approximately 94% of the training data, 85% of the on-road movement data, and 78% of potential roads. The proposed NN method more accurately classified potential roads than the previously used multicriteria method, which was able to identify 10 out of 17 potential road segments across the entire training center.

Symmetrical, smooth, finite-length, unrestrained cylinders were studied in steady, uniform flows over a range of Reynolds numbers in a smooth-bottomed, horizontal flume. The study uses PIV tracking methods in the laboratory to identify the movement of ordnance simulated by unrestrained cylinders. The PIV is supported with a numerical analysis using a RANS flow solver. The simulations showed that at low Reynolds numbers the cylinders should roll at speeds near 70% of the free-stream flow.

The effect of doping at the A site on the thermal conductivity of a pyrochlore oxide La2Zr2O7, has been investigated. Oxide powders of various compositions La2Zr2O7, La1.7Gd0.3Zr2O7, La1.7Yb0.3Zr2O7 and La1.7Gd0.15Yb0.15Zr2O7 were synthesized by the citric acid sol–gel method. These powders were hot-pressed into discs and used for thermal conductivity measurements using a steady-state laser heat flux test technique. The rare-earth oxide doped pyrochlores La1.7Gd0.3Zr2O7, La1.7Yb0.3Zr2O7 and La1.7Gd0.15Yb0.15Zr2O7 had lower thermal conductivity than the undoped La2Zr2O7. The Gd2O3 and Yb2O3 co-doped composition showed the lowest thermal conductivity.

Method: This review considers results from the lateral fluid percussion model of TBI, ballistic experiments in animal models and analyses of human studies. Results: Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that bullet impacts distant from the brain produce pressure waves that travel to the brain and can retain sufficient magnitude to induce brain injury. Conclusions: The link to long-term sequelae could be investigated via epidemiological studies of patients who were gunshot in the chest to determine whether they experience elevated rates of epilepsy and other neurological sequelae.

E-DNA sensors are comprised of a redox-modified (here, methylene blue or ferrocene) DNA stem-loop covalently attached to an interrogating electrode. Because E-DNA signaling arises due to binding-induced changes in the conformation of the stem-loop probe, it is likely sensitive to the nature of the molecular packing on the electrode surface. Here we detail the effects of probe density, target length, and other aspects of molecular crowding on the signaling properties, specificity, and response time of a model E-DNA sensor. We find that the highest signal suppression is obtained at the highest probe densities investigated, and that greater suppression is observed with longer and bulkier targets. In contrast, sensor equilibration time slows monotonically with increasing probe density, and the specificity of hybridization is not significantly affected. In addition to providing insight into the optimization of electrochemical DNA sensors, these results suggest that E-DNA signaling arises due to hybridization-linked changes in the rate, and thus efficiency, with which the redox moiety collides with the electrode and transfers electrons.

ARMS uses available soil (soil texture, porosity, K sat), land cover (vegetation type, LAI, Fraction of Greenness), and atmospheric data (Albedo) in standardized vector and raster GIS data formats at multiple scales, in addition to climatological forcing data and precipitation. PEST (Parameter EStimation Tool) was integrated into the process to optimize soil porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sat), using the remotely sensed measurements, in order to provide a more accurate estimate of the soil moisture. The modeling process is controlled by the user through a graphical interface developed as part of the ArcMap component of ESRI ArcGIS.

The European Regional Medical Command (ERMC) MC3T SMART TEAM successfully tested its capabilities during a military training exercise with the 212th mobile army surgical hospital (MASH). This was followed by successful real-life telemedicine support missions during a planned humanitarian support mission in Africa and then an emergency disaster support mission in Pakistan. While on these missions, the SMART team provided access to the Internet and e-mail by means of limited bandwidth mobile satellite equipment, established a working telemedicine process by introducing the staff to the United States Army's “Army Knowledge Online (AKO) Remote Consultation Program,” and established a successful connection of the 212th's digital radiography system to the “Tri-Service Global Encrypted Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and Teleradiology Network.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Telemedicine & e-Health is the property of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Waste products were added to two soils at rates of 17.9, 35.8, 71.6, and dry weight and incubated at for 90d. Every 30d, nitrate and ammonium concentrations were analyzed and C mineralization was measured as total evolved and added total organic C. Carbon mineralization of the undecomposed waste decreased over time, was directly related to application rate and soil nutrient status, and was significantly higher than C mineralization of the compost, in which C evolution was relatively unaffected across time, soils, and application rates. Carbon mineralization, measured as percentage C added by the wastes, also indicated no differences between composted waste treatments. However, mineralization as a percentage of C added in the undecomposed waste treatments was inversely related to application rate in the more productive soil, and no rate differences were observed in the highly degraded soil. Total inorganic N concentrations were much higher in the compost- and un-amended soils than in undecomposed waste treatments. Significant N immobilization occurred in all undecomposed waste treatments. Because C mineralization of the undecomposed waste was dependant on soil nutrient status and led to significant immobilization of N, this material appears to be best suited for highly degraded soils low in organic matter where restoration of vegetation adapted to nutrient poor soils is desired.

The time-dependent, three dimensional, scalar radiative transport equation is solved (to a high degree analytically and then numerically) for strong forward scattering of a pulsed collimated beam wave in a strong forward scattering environment such as a forest at mm-wave frequencies. The problem analyzed is that of a periodic sequence of Gaussian pulses incident from free space onto a forest region. The forest is modeled as a half-space of randomly distributed particles that scatter and absorb electromagnetic energy. The incident pulse train is taken to be a collimated (cylindrical) beam wave. The theory allows for a comprehensive characterization of the influence of vegetation on the propagation of pulsed beam waves, which includes a description of the attenuation of these beams, their angular spread, their distortion due to pulse broadening, and the determination of out-of-the-beam scattering which was not previously available. The model should be useful for frequencies above 3 GHz.

The authors tested the importance of I noncognitive trait: grit. Defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit accounted for an average of 4% of the variance in success outcomes, including educational attainment among 2 samples of adults (N = 1,545 and N = 690), grade point average among Ivy League undergraduates (N = 138), retention in 2 classes of United States Military Academy, West Point, cadets (N = 1,218 and N = 1,308), and ranking in the National Spelling Bee (N = 175). Grit did not relate positively to IQ but was highly correlated with Big Five Conscientiousness. Grit nonetheless demonstrated incremental predictive validity of success measures over and beyond IQ and conscientiousness. Collectively. these findings suggest that the achievement of difficult goals entails not only talent but also the sustained and focused application of talent over time.

We tested individual mosquitoes captured in Olancho Province, Honduras, in September 2003. Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on 2- to 4- day-old chickens previously inoculated with a New York strain (Crow 397-99) of WNV. Infection rates in Cx. nigripalpusranged from 81–96 after feeding on chickens with viremias between 106.3and 107.4plaque-forming units per milliliter. Development of a disseminated infection was directly correlated with holding time after the infectious blood meal as 68 (1928) of the mosquitoes tested 20 days after the infectious blood meal had a disseminated infection as compared to 38 (1540) of the mosquitoes tested 14 days after feeding on the same viremic chickens (viremia 106.9–7.4). Nearly all (45) Cx. nigripalpuswith a disseminated infection that fed on susceptible chickens transmitted virus by bite. In addition, 8 (57) of 14 Cx. nigripalpuswith a disseminated infection transmitted virus when tested by a capillary tube feeding assay. Based on its efficiency of viral transmission in this study and its role in the transmission of the closely related St. Louis encephalitis virus in the southeastern United States, Cx. nigripalpusshould be considered a potentially important vector of WNV in Honduras and the rest of Central America.

A stable, non-toxic and immunogenic recombinant ricin A-chain vaccine (RTA 1-33/44-198) has been developed by protein engineering. We identified optimal formulation conditions for this vaccine under which it remained stable and potent in storage for up to 18 months, and resisted multiple rounds of freeze–thawing without stabilizing co-solvents. Reformulation from phosphate buffer to succinate buffer increased adherence of the protein to aluminum hydroxide adjuvant from 15 to 91%, with a concomitant increase of nearly threefold in effective antigenicity in a mouse model. Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we examined the secondary structure of the protein while it was adhered to aluminum hydroxide. Adjuvant adsorption produced only a small apparent change in secondary structure, while significantly stabilizing the protein to thermal denaturation. The vaccine therefore may be safely stored in the presence of adjuvant. Our results suggest that optimization of adherence of a protein antigen to aluminum adjuvant can be a useful route to increasing both stability and effectiveness, and support a role for a “depot effect” of adjuvant.

JO - Journal of Medicinal Chemistry JF - Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Y1 - 2007/05/03/ VL - 50 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2127 EP - 2136 SN - 00222623 AB - We previously identified structurally diverse small molecule (non-peptidic) inhibitors (SMNPIs) of the botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) light chain (LC). Of these, several (including antimalarial drugs) contained a 4-amino-7-chloroquinoline (ACQ) substructure and a separate positive ionizable amine component. The same antimalarials have also been found to interfere with BoNT/A translocation into neurons, via pH elevation of the toxin-mediated endosome. Thus, this structural class of small molecules may serve as dual-function BoNT/A inhibitors. In this study, we used a refined pharmacophore for BoNT/A LC inhibition to identify four new, potent inhibitors of this structural class (IC50's ranged from 3.2 to 17 M). Molecular docking indicated that the binding modes for the new SMNPIs are consistent with those of other inhibitors that we have identified, further supporting our structure-based pharmacophore. Finally, structural motifs of the new SMNPIs, as well as two structure-based derivatives, were examined for activity, providing valuable information about pharmacophore component contributions to inhibition.

T1 - Carbohydrate Supplementation and Endurance Performance of Moderate Altitude Residents at 4300 m. JO - International Journal of Sports Medicine JF - International Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 28 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 437 EP - 443 SN - 01724622 AB - Recent work from our laboratory demonstrated that carbohydrate supplementation (CHOS) during exercise improved prolonged time-trial (TT) performance of sea-level residents (SLR) living at 4300 m while they were in daily negative energy balance (-1250 kcal·day-1; [9]). The purposes of the current study were to determine during initial exposure to 4300 m:1) whether CHOS also improves TT performance of moderate altitude residents (MAR) who are in energy balance and 2) if acclimatization to moderate elevations benefits TT performance. Fifteen Air Force Academy (AFA) active duty members (age: 30±1 yrs; mean±SE), who had been living at ∼2000 m for 21±3 months performed a maximal-effort 720-kJ cycle TT at the AFA and at Pikes Peak (PP), CO, (4300 m) on days 1 (PP1) and 3 (PP3). Daily energy intake and expenditure were maintained similarly at the AFA and PP. At the start of the TTs at PP, and then every 15 min thereafter, 9 subjects drank a 10% CHO solution (0.175 g·kg-1 body weight) and 6 subjects drank a placebo (PLA) solution. All subjects were allowed to freely adjust the power output of the cycle ergometer and drank water ad libitum. Performance time did not differ between groups on PP1 (CHOS vs. PLA; 101±8 vs. 116±10 min) or PP3 (95±8 vs. 107±12 min). For both groups, cycle times on PP1 and PP3 were longer compared to the AFA (p < 0.01 ) and were improved from PP1 to PP3 (p < 0.05). Exercise intensity (i.e., %peak oxygen uptake) was maintained similarly at ∼62% during the TTs at the AFA and PP. Blood glucose was 1.5 to 2.0 mmol·L-1 higher for CHOS vs. PLA (p<0.01). It was concluded that CHOS provided no TF performance benefit for MAR at 4300 m when energy balance was maintained. However, the decrements in TT performance and exercise intensity were attenuated at 4300 m in MAR compared to those of SLR as a result of acclimatization attained while living for nearly 2 years at ∼2000 m.

T1 - Purification and protective efficacy of monomeric and modified Yersinia pestis capsular F1-V antigen fusion proteins for vaccination against plague JO - Protein Expression & Purification JF - Protein Expression & Purification Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 53 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 63 EP - 79 SN - 10465928 AB - Abstract: The F1-V vaccine antigen, protective against Yersinia pestis, exhibits a strong tendency to multimerize that affects larger-scale manufacture and characterization. In this work, the sole F1-V cysteine was replaced with serine by site-directed mutagenesis for characterization of F1-V non-covalent multimer interactions and protective potency without participation by disulfide-linkages. F1-V and F1-VC424S proteins were overexpressed in Escherichia coli, recovered using mechanical lysis/pH-modulation and purified from urea-solubilized soft inclusion bodies, using successive ion-exchange, ceramic hydroxyapatite, and size-exclusion chromatography. This purification method resulted in up to 2mg/g of cell paste of 95% pure, mono-disperse protein having ⩽0.5 endotoxin units per mg by a kinetic chromogenic limulus amoebocyte lysate reactivity assay. Both F1-V and F1-VC424S were monomeric at pH 10.0 and progressively self-associated as pH conditions decreased to pH 6.0. Solution additives were screened for their ability to inhibit F1-V self-association at pH 6.5. An l-arginine buffer provided the greatest stabilizing effect. Conversion to >500-kDa multimers occurred between pH 6.0 and 5.0. Conditions for efficient F1-V adsorption to the cGMP-compatible alhydrogel® adjuvant were optimized. Side-by-side evaluation for protective potency against subcutaneous plague infection in mice was conducted for F1-VC424S monomer; cysteine-capped F1-V monomer; cysteine-capped F1-V multimer; and a F1-V standard reported previously. After a two-dose vaccination with 2×20μg of F1-V, respectively, 100%, 80%, 80%, and 70% of injected mice survived a subcutaneous lethal plague challenge with 108 LD50 Y. pestis CO92. Thus, vaccination with F1-V monomer and multimeric forms resulted in significant, and essentially equivalent, protection.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2007/05//5/1/2007 VL - 46 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 5063 EP - 5071 SN - 00062960 AB - The organophosphorus nerve agents sarin, soman, tabun, and VX exert their toxic effects by inhibiting the action of human acetylcholinesterase, a member of the serine hydrolase superfamily of enzymes. The current treatments for nerve agent exposure must be administered quickly to be effective, and they often do not eliminate long-term toxic side effects associated with organophosphate poisoning. Thus, there is significant need for effective prophylactic methods to protect at-risk personnel from nerve agent exposure, and protein-based approaches have emerged as promising candidates. We present the 2.7 Å resolution crystal structures of the serine hydrolase human carboxylesterase 1 (hCE1), a broad-spectrum drug metabolism enzyme, in covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate complexes with the chemical weapons soman and tabun. The structures reveal that hCE1 binds stereoselectively to these nerve agents; for example, hCE1 appears to react preferentially with the 104-fold more lethal Ps stereoisomer of soman relative to the PR form. In addition, structural features of the hCE1 active site indicate that the enzyme may be resistant to dead-end organophosphate aging reactions that permanently inactivate other serine hydrolases. Taken together, these data provide important structural details toward the goal of engineering hCE1 into an organophosphate hydrolase and protein-based therapeutic for nerve agent exposure.

JO - World Journal of Surgery JF - World Journal of Surgery Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 31 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1055 EP - 1065 SN - 03642313 AB - Hemorrhage continues to be one of the leading causes of death following trauma. Trauma patients are susceptible to the early development of coagulopathy and the most severely injured patients are coagulopathic on hospital admission. Hypothermia, acidosis, and dilution from standard resuscitation can worsen the presenting coagulopathy and perpetuate bleeding. Early identification of coagulopathy is dependent on clinical awareness and point of care laboratory values. Routinely used laboratory coagulation parameters fail to adequately describe this state. Thrombelastography is a test that can be done at the bedside and uses whole blood to provide a functional evaluation of coagulation. Rapid diagnosis of coagulopathy, followed by prevention or correction of hypothermia and acidosis should be a priority during the initial evaluation and resuscitation. Judicious use of resuscitation fluids and early replacement of coagulation factors will help prevent iatrogenic hemodilution. This review covers the pathophysiology as well as the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of coagulopathy. Prevention and treatment strategies are discussed, including early transfusion of coagulation factors during massive transfusion and the use of recombinant factor VIIa. Damage control resuscitation is briefly discussed, and it involves the combination of hypotensive resuscitation and hemostatic resuscitation. Finally, a description of the use of fresh whole blood in the military setting is included. Its use has been proven to be safe and beneficial in this setting and warrants further investigation as an adjunct to the management of civilian trauma patients.

The bootstrap technique is applied to predictions from a set of dynamical system models, rather than from the time-series data, to estimate the reliability (in the form of prediction intervals) for each prediction. The technique is illustrated using human core temperature data, modeled by a hybrid (autoregressive plus first principles) approach. The temperature prediction intervals obtained are in agreement with those from the Camp–Meidell inequality. Moreover, as expected, the prediction intervals increase with the prediction horizon, time-series data variability, and model inaccuracy.

Rama Purkait developed a method for estimating sex using measurements from a triangle defined by three points on the proximal end of the femur using skeletal material from Bhopal, India. This method was tested with measurements on 200 Indo-European and African American adult femora from the Terry collection using discriminant function analysis to determine if Purkait's method was valuable for determining sex in Americans. A side-by-side analysis was conducted of Purkait's “triangle method” and the maximum diameter of the femoral head to determine their relative value in assessing sexual dimorphism. In the study sample a single variable from Purkait's method provided 85.5% prediction accuracy, similar to 87% for the head diameter. Combining threshold values for a single variable from Purkait's method and the femoral head diameter raised the predictability to greater than 90% for both sexes.

The non-composted byproduct of this process, Fluff®, has the potential to be utilized as a soil amendment to improve soil conditions in highly degraded soils. A study was initiated to evaluate Fluff as a soil amendment for establishing native grasses on disturbed US Army training lands. The Fluff was incorporated into a sandy loam soil at Fort Benning Military Reservation, GA on two sites: a moderately degraded and a highly degraded soil. The Fluff was incorporated at rates of 0, 18, 36, 72, and 143 Mg ha- 1 to assess the effects on soil properties for two growing seasons. The addition of Fluff improved available plant nutrients and soil pH levels at both sites. Also, Fluff reduced the level of soil bulk density and increased soil concentration of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). Because no adverse environmental effects were detected and Fluff improved soil physical and nutrient conditions as well as improving perennial grass establishment with increasing application rates, land application of Fluff to degraded US Army training grounds could be considered a viable and beneficial alternative to current waste management practices.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 26 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 954 EP - 959 SN - 07307268 AB - Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), both energetic compounds, share some degree of structural similarity. A noninvasive electrophysiological technique was employed to assess the impacts of acute sublethal exposures on impulse conduction in medial (MGF) and lateral (LGF) giant nerve fiber pathways of the earthworm Eisenia fetida and to evaluate the reversibility of neurotoxic effects. Earthworms were exposed to either 0.02 to 2.15 μg/cm2 of CL-20 or 0.04 to 5.35 μg/cm2 of RDX, for 1 to 14 d, on moistened filter paper. Conduction velocities of MGF and LGF were recorded on a digital oscilloscope before and after exposure. Results indicate that at exposure levels as low as 0.02 μg/cm2 of CL- 20 or 0.21 μg/cm2 of RDX, worms exhibited physiological impacts such as retardation, stiffness, and body shrink. Both MGF and LGF conduction velocities were negatively correlated with increasing doses of CL-20 or RDX. However, such neurotoxic effects were alleviated or even eliminated within a few days after exposed worms were transferred to an uncontaminated environment, indicating that the neurotoxicity is reversible even after 6-d exposure. The CL-20 is more potent than RDX, which is consistent with previous studies on lethality, growth, and reproduction endpoints in soil oligochaetes.

The operating principle takes advantage of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic (PM-FM) phase transition mediated by the itinerant holes in the DMS QD that can lead to electrically controlled Write/Erase operations. Nonvolatility can be achieved when the structure is properly designed to reach a thermodynamic equilibrium at both the PM and FM configurations (i.e., bistability). Assuming a parabolic confining potential in the QD, the performance characteristics of the proposed nano-structure are analyzed including the scalability and the lifetime. An advantage of this memory concept is the extremely small dissipative energy for Write/Erase functions due to the open-circuit nature of the process. A readout scheme enabling electrical detection, with the repetition rate up to the 10–100-MHz range, is also explored by utilizing only two contacts. Finally, a potential application of the proposed memory cell is discussed as a rudimentary device for logic AND and OR operations.

Ostazeski JO - Biological Control JF - Biological Control Y1 - 2007/05// VL - 41 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 175 EP - 183 SN - 10499644 AB - Abstract: The submersed macrophyte, Hydrilla verticillata, was grown using different nutritional regimes under greenhouse conditions to obtain plants that were significantly different in percent nitrogen-free extract, crude fiber, ether-extractable compounds, crude protein, and ash in shoot tissue. Shoots were then challenged by the biological control fungal pathogen, Mycoleptodiscus terrestris, to determine the effects of plant nutritional status on disease severity, growth, and reproduction. Fourteen days post-inoculation, shoots from plants grown in high-fertility sediment had significantly greater disease severity ratings than shoots from plants grown in low-fertility sediment. The nutritional status of the plants also impacted asexual reproduction of the pathogen by thin-walled conidia and melanized survival structures called microsclerotia. At 14 days post-inoculation, significantly higher numbers of conidia were produced in flasks containing hydrilla plants grown in high-fertility sediment. In contrast, microsclerotia increased almost fourfold in leaf tissues of hydrilla grown in low-fertility sediment. It appears from these studies that the nutritional condition of target plants cannot be excluded as an important factor in efficacy of pathogens used as biological control agents. The nutritional status of the host tissues influences M. terrestris ingress into host tissues, vegetative growth, production of secondary inoculum in the form of disseminative spores or conidia, and production of survival structures, the microsclerotia.

The statistic is an unweighted sum of squares (USS) of the kernel smoothed model residuals. We develop expressions for the moments of this statistic and create a standardized statistic with hypothesized asymptotic standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis that the model is correctly specified. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate satisfactory adherence to Type I error rates of the Kernel smoothed USS statistic in a variety of likely data settings. Finally, we discuss issues of bandwidth selection for using our proposed statistic in practice and illustrate its use in an example.

JO - Langmuir JF - Langmuir Y1 - 2007/04/24/ VL - 23 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 4809 EP - 4818 SN - 07437463 AB - Sheared self-assembled lamellar phases formed by symmetrical diblock copolymers are investigated through dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Our intent is to provide insight into the experimental observations that the lamellar phases adopt parallel alignment at low shear rates and perpendicular alignment at high shear rates and that it is possible to use shear to induce a transition from the parallel to perpendicular alignment. Simulations are initiated either from lamellar structures prepared under zero shear where lamellae are aligned into parallel, perpendicular, or transverse orientations with respect to the shear direction or from a disordered melt obtained by energy minimization of a random structure. We first consider the relative stability of the parallel and perpendicular phases by applying shear to lamellar structures initially aligned parallel and perpendicular to the shear direction, respectively. The perpendicular lamellar phase persists for all shear rates investigated, whereas the parallel lamellar phase is only stable at low shear rates, and it becomes unstable at high shear rates. At the high shear rates, the parallel lamellar phase first transforms into an unstable diagonal lamellar phase; and upon further increase of the shear rate, the parallel lamellar phase reorients into a perpendicular alignment. We further determine the preferential alignment of the lamellar phases at low shear rate by performing the simulations starting from either the initial transverse lamellar structure or the disordered melt. Since the low shear-rate simulations are plagued by the unstable diagonal lamellar phases, we vary the system size to achieve the natural spacing of the lamellae in the simulation box. In such cases, the unstable diagonal lamellar phases disappear and lamellar phases adopt the preferential alignment, either parallel or perpendicular. In agreement with the experimental observations, the simulations show that the lamellar phase preferentially adopts the parallel orientation at low shear rates and the perpendicular orientation at high shear rates. The simulations further reveal that the perpendicular lamellar phase has lower internal energy than the parallel lamellar phase, whereas the entropy production of the perpendicular lamellar phase is higher with respect to the parallel lamellar phase. Values of the internal energy and entropy production for the unstable diagonal lamellar phases lie between the corresponding values for the parallel and perpendicular lamellar phases. These simulation results suggest that the relative stability of the parallel and perpendicular lamellar phases at low shear rates is a result of the interplay between competing driving forces in the system:  (a) the system''s drive to adopt a structure with the lowest internal energy and (b) the system''s drive to stay in a stationary nonequilibrium state with the lowest entropy production.

T1 - Stoichiometric and catalytic scavengers as protection against nerve agent toxicity: A mini review JO - Toxicology JF - Toxicology Y1 - 2007/04/20/ VL - 233 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 39 SN - 0300483X AB - Abstract: Currently fielded treatments for nerve agent intoxication promote survival, but do not afford complete protection against either nerve agent-induced motor and cognitive deficits or neuronal pathology. The use of human plasma-derived butyrylcholinesterase (HuBuChE) to neutralize the toxic effects of nerve agents in vivo has been shown to both aid survival and protect against decreased cognitive function after nerve agent exposure. Recently, a commercially produced recombinant form of human butyrylcholinesterase (r-HuBuChE; PharmAthene Inc.) expressed in the milk of transgenic goats has become available. This material is biochemically similar to plasma-derived HuBuChE in in vitro assays. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of a polyethylene glycol coated (pegylated) form of r-HuBuChE were determined in guinea pigs; the enzyme was rapidly bioavailable with a half-life (t 1/2) and pharmacokinetic profile that resembled that of plasma-derived huBuChE. Guinea pigs were injected with 140mg/kg (i.m.) of pegylated r-HuBuChE 18h prior to exposure (sc) to 5.5×LD50 VX or soman. VX and soman were administered in a series of three injections of 1.5×LD50, 2.0×LD50, and 2.0×LD50, respectively, with injections separated by 2h. Pretreatment with pegylated r-HuBuChE provided 100% survival against multiple lethal doses of VX and soman. Guinea pigs displayed no signs of nerve agent toxicity following exposure. Assessments of motor activity, coordination, and acquisition of spatial memory were performed for 2 weeks following nerve agent exposure. There were no measurable decreases in motor or cognitive function during this period. In contrast, animals receiving 1.5×LD50 challenges of soman or VX and treated with standard atropine, 2-PAM, and diazepam therapy showed 50 and 100% survival, respectively, but exhibited marked decrements in motor function and, in the case of GD, impaired spatial memory acquisition. The advances in this field have resulted in the decision to select both the plasma-derived and the recombinant form of BuChE for advanced development and transition to clinical trials. Efforts have now been expanded to identify a catalytic protein capable of not only binding, but also rapidly hydrolyzing the standard threat nerve agents. Recent work has focused on paraoxonase-1 (PON1), a naturally occurring human serum enzyme with the capacity to catalyze the hydrolysis of nerve agents, albeit too slowly to afford dramatic protection. Using rational design, several amino acids involved in substrate binding have been identified and site-directed mutations have revealed that residue H115 plays an important role in binding. In addition, the stereospecificity of PON1 for the catalytic hydrolysis of soman has been examined. The enzyme exhibits a slight stereospecificity for the C+P+ isomer of soman, which is due more to preferential binding than to selective hydrolysis of this isomer. The results suggest that it may be possible to engineer a mutant form of PON1 with enhanced activity and stereospecificity for the most toxic nerve agent isoforms.

To enhance the protection, and to reduce the lung injury of vaccinated mice that survived ricin toxin challenge, the mucosal adjuvant LTK63 or LTR72, two mutants of Escherichia coli LT enterotoxin adjuvant was administered with rRV. The safety of intranasally administered LTR63 was assessed as well. With 4, 2, or l μg of LTR63, the anti-ricin ELISA serum immunoglobulin geometric mean titer (GMT) increased up to 147-, 356-, 493-, and 17-fold for IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgA, respectively. The comparable increases for GMTs of IgG and IgG1 in the presence LTR72 were up to 147-, and 617-fold, respectively. All three dose levels of LTK63 enhanced the ELISA GMTs in the lung lavage up to 192-, 22-, 4-, and 5-fold for IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgA, respectively. Compared to GMT of rRV alone, the serum-neutralizing antibody GMTs for the three dose levels were enhanced up to 11-fold with LTK63. LTK63 augmented the ricin-related lymphoproliferative response of the cultured spleen lymphocytes and of the isolated CD4+ T lymphocytes. In the cultured lymphocytes, LTK63 stimulated predominantly TH1 cytokines. While only 10% of the mice that were vaccinated with rRV survived lethal challenge, in the presence of LTK63 or LTR72, the respective survival rates were augmented to 100%. Compared to the surviving mice vaccinated with rRV alone, the vaccine with LTK63 or LTR72 did not attenuate the extent of the ricin-related lung injury at a single or two time-points, respectively. Safety of LTK63 administration was indicated by the absence of histopathological changes in every organ, including the lungs and in the central nervous systems (CNS) of the mice during the entire 92 days of the study. In the nasal passages of the mice that received LTK63, a transient inflammation occurred without permanent epithelial changes. Administration of three dose levels of the adjuvant in the presence of rRV caused no additional changes. LTK63 and LTR72 both were very effective and safe mucosal adjuvants at all three dose levels employed in these studies. Both significantly enhanced the protection of a marginally effective dose of rRV against aerosol-delivered ricin challenge. LTK63 stimulated cytokines, which could be surrogate markers of efficacy, with human relevance potential. In spite of the better efficacy, rRV with LTK63, or with LTR72, failed to reduce the ricin-related lung injury. Most likely, a larger than suboptimal dose could resolve the lung injury of the vaccinated mice in the presence of a larger dose of the mucosal adjuvant.

The analysis shows an Avrami exponent equal to 1, which is indicative of one-dimensional growth. The analysis does not support the conventional shrinking core model for the electrochemical conversion of FePO4to LiFePO4. Analysis of the Avrami exponent reveals that the phase transformation is not controlled by diffusion but by a phase boundary reaction. Measurements at different temperatures allowed for an estimate of the activation energy, which was found to be about 13 kJ/mol for the electrochemical FePO4to LiFePO4transformation.

These studies were conducted as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce, an investigation of environmental impacts originating from the failure of the hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This paper presents data regarding the effects of pumped floodwaters on sediment chemistry, toxicity, and benthic invertebrate assemblages near pumping stations that discharged floodwaters into marshes near Chalmette and Violet, Louisiana. Chemical contamination of sediments was observed and varied among sample locations (e.g., outfall locations, wastewater treatment plant, canals, and wetlands); however, trends in the chemistry data were not always consistent with bioassay results.

Various positive psychological states and traits are proposed to reduce the level of fear experienced when facing risk, that join with an individual's core values and beliefs to create a courageous mindset which, bolstered by affirming normative and informational social forces, promotes courageous action. Finally, intrapersonal attribution processes are proposed to influence self-perceptions of courageousness and that, through self-reflection, reinforce the courageous mindset, perpetuating future courageous action.

Researchers investigated the relationship between REE measure by indirect calorimetry and the REE calculated from organ-tissue mass. The volume of adipose tissue, heart, and residual was determined by indirect calorimetry. The volume units were converted into mass by an assumed constant density. In conclusion, the high REE for athletes can be attributed not to an elevation of the organ-tissue metabolic rate, but to a larger absolute amount of low and high metabolically active tissue.

MARS is a flexible regression technique that uses a modified recursive partitioning strategy to simplify high-dimensional problems into smaller yet highly accurate models. Combining MARS and RSM improves the conventional RSM by addressing highly nonlinear high-dimensional problems that can be simplified into lower dimensions, yet maintains a low computational cost and better interpretability when compared to neural networks and generalized additive models. MARS/RSM is also compared to simulated annealing and genetic algorithms in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy. The MARS/RSM procedure is applied to a set of low-dimensional test functions to demonstrate its convergence and limiting properties.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Cell Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Cell Physiology Y1 - 2007/04// VL - 61 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - C1536 EP - C1542 SN - 03636143 AB - Efforts to understand laser bioeffects in cells and tissues have been hindered by a nonuniform cellular response of the specimen, resulting in graded biochemical effects. In addition, the small beam diameters of commonly used lasers limit the number of cells expressing a response to numbers inadequate for the study of biochemical effects. For a limited emission power, expansion of the beam diameter reduces the irradiance, thus requiring longer exposure durations to produce a cellular response. Cultured human retinal epithelial cells were exposed as a single spot ("tophat" exposure) from a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser operating at 10.6 µm or scanned with a raster system and compared with thermal injury produced with heated saline for short periods (1-9 s) at relatively high temperature (55-70°C). Cell viability and induction of the 70 kDa heat shock protein were evaluated as indicators of the cellular response. Initial attempts to use a tophat (uniform energy distribution) exposure resulted in a nonuniform cellular response (and nonuniform energy distribution) due to diffraction effects from the 2-mm selection aperture. However, raster scanning for appropriate times with the CO2 laser yielded uniform cell viability and heat shock protein synthesis that were comparable to dipping cells in heated saline. Because scanning results in a homogeneous exposure of cells, the described scanning technique may be applied to studies of cellular responses to other lasers to evaluate photochemical and photomechanical effects.

The ability to operate continuously on HD-5 propane also provides a valuable proposition to islands, remote sites, national parks, data centers, military bases, hotels, and hospitals. HD-5 propane, as opposed to other grades of propane, was selected as the back-up fuel of choice because of its availability (even in remote areas), cost, and ease of processing in the fuel cell power plant. Although natural gas distribution through utility pipelines is convenient, it is vulnerable to natural disaster, threats of terrorism, and simple repair outages. Propane, however, is routinely transported and stored as a liquid at ambient temperatures and offers a convenient and secure option for fuel cell operations. An adequate quantity of propane can be stored on site to sustain operations for several days in a variety of weather climates.In response to the interest for a fuel flexible power plant, Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), under contract to the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center''s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), is working with FuelCell Energy (FCE) to test an internally reforming 250 kW carbonate fuel cell. Previous to the demonstration at CTC, FCE operated a 250 kW carbonate direct fuel cell for 1500 hours, which generated 300,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) net AC electricity using HD-5 propane as fuel. Among the challenges addressed, lessons learned by FCE during initial operation on HD-5 propane included: 1) avoiding carbon deposition during pre-reforming of propane into a methane rich gas, 2) metering and controlling propane flow to account for variations in fuel composition, 3) removing sulfur from the propane, and 4) increasing the steam required for operation on propane. Peripheral issues that required additional investigation included identifying the number and volume of propane tanks and a vaporization system to deliver the required rate and quantity of fuel.

The PAS incorporates time-series data collected by many types of data-acquisition devices, and it is designed to free users from data management burdens. This Web-based system allows both discrete (attribute) and time-series (ordered) data to be manipulated, visualized, and analyzed via a client's Web browser. All processes occur on a server, so that the client does not have to download data or any application programs, and the PAS is independent of the client''s computer operating system. The PAS contains a library of functions, written in different computer languages that the client can add to and use to perform specific data operations. Functions from the library are sequentially inserted into a function chain-based logical structure to construct sophisticated data operators from simple function building blocks, affording ad hoc query and analysis of time-series data. These features support advanced mining of physiology data.

With some adjustments of focus, we could discern a number of issues that cannot be shown in two-dimensional space. The most salient are briefly outlined as follows. First, one could get a better idea of the threat situation that reveals a vision of the transformation of conflict from First-Generation through Sixth-Generation warfare, and to what we call “Chinese” and “Bunker” Cocktails. Second, we can see deviations on the road leading into the 21st Century in several different ways. They include: the problems of ambiguity; the need to redefine “enemy,” the fact that contemporary conflict is multi-dimensional, multi-lateral, and multi-organizational; and the realization that war has become “total.” Finally, a closer examination of the situation reveals a short list of the basic challenges and tasks that can help discerning civilian and military leaders negotiate the road through the inescapable global security environment.

JO - Journal of Structural Engineering JF - Journal of Structural Engineering Y1 - 2014/12// VL - 140 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 SN - 07339445 AB - A research program was conducted to assess the capability of conventional non-load-bearing insulated precast concrete exterior wall panels to withstand blast loadings. Typical construction details from the tilt-up and prestressed concrete industries were examined. The sensitivity of insulation type, reinforcement, foam thickness, and shear tie type on the flexural resistance was assessed. Forty-two single-span static experiments were conducted on 14 different panel designs. From the results of these experiments, resistance functions and deformation limits for insulated concrete sandwich panels were determined. The resistance functions were used to develop predictive dynamic models for panels subjected to blast demands. The models were found to be accurate in comparison to measurements from four full-scale blast detonations. The findings of the research indicate that both prestressed and non-prestressed insulated concrete wall panels meet current rotational limits defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for protective structures. Simplified methods for modeling the pressure-deformation characteristics of insulated panels can be used to approximate the peak dynamic deformation and reaction loads.

T1 - Colloquium: Fractional calculus view of complexity: A tutorial. JO - Reviews of Modern Physics JF - Reviews of Modern Physics Y1 - 2014/10//Oct-Dec2014 VL - 86 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2 EP - 2 SN - 00346861 AB - The fractional calculus has been part of the mathematics and science literature for 310 years. However, it is only in the past decade or so that it has drawn the attention of mainstream science as a way to describe the dynamics of complex phenomena with long-term memory, spatial heterogeneity, along with nonstationary and nonergodic statistics. The most recent application encompasses complex networks, which require new ways of thinking about the world. Part of the new cognition is provided by the fractional calculus description of temporal and topological complexity. Consequently, this Colloquium is not so much a tutorial on the mathematics of the fractional calculus as it is an exploration of how complex phenomena in the physical, social, and life sciences that have eluded traditional mathematical modeling become less mysterious when certain historical assumptions such as differentiability are discarded and the ordinary calculus is replaced with the fractional calculus. Exemplars considered include the fractional differential equations describing the dynamics of viscoelastic materials, turbulence, foraging, and phase transitions in complex social networks.

The foreign red blood cell (RBC) challenge is an important part of a complement of tests used to assess immunocompetence in the laboratory because it can assess an individual’s humoral response without impacting its health. This challenge is used commonly across species and measures antibody titers in response to an intraperitoneal, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection of foreign RBCs. Determination of the best appropriate foreign RBC challenge is therefore important when designing tests for evaluation of humoral responses. The northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) is a commonly used species for avian toxicity tests, however little is known about the relative sensitivities of its humoral responses to foreign erythrocytes. In this pilot study, we exposed adult quail to intravenous injections of 5% solutions of sheep, rat, rabbit, bovine, or chicken erythrocytes and performed antibody titers [hemagglutination assay for total immunoglobulin (Ig), IgG, and IgM] for primary and secondary responses. Although the bobwhites appeared to respond strongly to rat RBCs, high variability in responses were observed among individuals. Chicken RBCs elicited the poorest responses for both primary and secondary challenges. Sheep and bovine RBCs were adequate antigens for this test in bobwhites. We found that rabbit erythrocytes elicited the strongest responses with the least amount of variability between individuals. Rabbit RBCs, therefore, appear to be the ideal antigen for this test of the humoral response in this species.

The system is tolerant of numerous functional groups (sulfones, esters, ethers, sulfonamides) and proceeds at room temperature in dichloromethane. The cyclization pathway is sensitive to the substitution pattern of the epoxide and the backbone structure of the A-ring. It is capable of producing medium-ring ethers, fused 6-5 bicyclic, and linked pyran-furan structures.

Instead of fitting the boundary conditions using collocation points, we minimize the error of fit in the norm to minimize the least-squares error. This approach greatly enhances the utility and efficiency of the method, allowing us to apply the method to a variety of engineering problems.

The MDP formed by dynamic interactions between river and coast at various temporal and spatial scales, and human activity has reduced these interactions at all scales. Restoration efforts aim to re-establish this dynamic interaction, with emphasis on reconnecting the river to the deltaic plain. Science must guide MDP restoration, which will provide insights into delta restoration elsewhere and generally into coasts facing climate change in times of resource scarcity.

In this study we monitored exposure to several persistent organic pollutants [polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and other organochlorine pesticides] in outmigrant juvenile fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) in the Lower Columbia River, and evaluated the potential for adverse effects on salmon and the estuarine food web. Contaminants were measured in whole bodies and stomach contents of subyearling to yearling chinook collected in 2001 and 2002 from sites near the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, Longview, and within the lower Estuary. The contaminants detected at highest concentrations in salmon whole bodies were PCBs and DDTs. Average concentrations of PCBs in salmon from the sampling sites ranged from 1300 to 14,000 ng/g lipid, in some cases exceeding the recently estimated threshold for adverse health effects in juvenile salmonids of 2400 ng/g lipid. Average DDT concentrations ranged from 1800 to 27,000 ng/g lipid. These levels are among the highest measured in juvenile salmon from Pacific Northwest estuaries to date. Concentrations of PCBs and DDTs in salmon whole bodies showed no clear spatial gradient from the Willamette/Columbia Confluence to the mouth of the Columbia, but tended to be higher in larger fish and older fish, suggesting a correlation with estuarine residence time. PCBs, DDTs, and PAHs were all found in salmon stomach contents, indicating that prey is a source of exposure. Hatchery feed may have contributed to contaminant body burdens in those fish that were of hatchery origin. Contaminant body burdens in salmon were poorly correlated with contaminant concentrations previously measured in local bed sediments, suggesting that pelagic as well as benthic sources are important in determining salmon exposure.

In the three molecules, termed p-, o-, and m-OXA-X, the OXAPPV arms are positioned in a para, ortho, or meta position, respectively, in relation to each other. Comparing these molecules, we explore the role of symmetry and charge delocalization in this class of compounds. Despite having different linear segments, they have nearly identical photophysical properties, suggesting a similar charge delocalization mechanism. However, in a LED with the molecules as emissive layers between aluminum and ITO electrodes and with PEDOT:PSS and lithium fluoride to aid in hole and electron injection, respectively, o-OXA-X exhibited the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.46% compared to analogous devices made of p-OXA-X and m-OXA-X that showed efficiencies of 0.28% and 0.10%, respectively. We explain these differences based on the changes in the film morphology between the three molecules. Also reported are data from cyclic voltammetry and morphological data from atomic force microscopy, NMR studies, thermal characterization, and X-ray diffraction studies.

Concentrations from a given set of wells can be compared against one another in a variety of ways, but the consideration as to which chemical concentrations are best related to one another is limited. In this analysis, an example is given to show that if there are a total ofNconcentration values, allNmust be considered simultaneously in order to ascertain whether the observed conditions at the well can be explained as a mixture, and this can be done by solving a quadratic programming problem-convex hull.

This analysis included 70 Caucasian/Asian males that had 4 years of bone mineral density (BMD) measurements of the spine and hip and completed the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-2). Slopes of change in spine and hip BMD were determined over 4 years. The only baseline differences were that males in the highest EDI quartile were heavier (173 vs. 158 lb, respectively, p =0.06) and daily calcium intake was significantly lower (1620 mg vs. 1743 mg, respectively, p =0.03). Calcium intake was not related to 4-year change in spine or hip BMD. EDI score was inversely related to 4-year change in both spine BMD (r =−0.165, p =0.17) and hip BMD (r =−0.288, p <0.02). The average change in total hip BMD over the 4 years was −1.3% in male cadets in the highest EDI quartile as compared to a gain of +0.78% in male cadets in the rest of the cohort (p =0.04). These differences persisted when controlling for weight and calcium intake. There is a possibility that subclinical eating disorders exist in a college age physically active population of males and could have significant detrimental effects on bone gain.

This sample size determination is very important because the reliability of the sampled vehicles should represent the reliability of the entire fleet. Smaller-than-required sample sizes may lead to an incorrect representation of the reliability of the fleet, which may mislead the Army to make poor decisions, such as deploying a fleet that may not be reliable. These type II errors can be minimized by incorporating a more realistic sampling methodology, as developed in this research. Prior to using this methodology, analytical formulas were used to compute reliability sample sizes with unit-to-unit variation assumed to be constant. This new methodology confirms the analytically derived solutions for fixed usage & true failure rate, as well as for fixed usage & varying vehicle true failure rate. Existing reliability data shows that unit-to-unit variation does exist. Vehicle variation in true failure rate is modeled with a Gamma prior distribution. Recent reliability data are used to validate the hypothesis that this is an adequate tool for reliability sampling when unit-to-unit variation exists. Results of this validation accept the hypothesis, validating that the methodology is an adequate tool. The Army is currently using this methodology for fleet assessment.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2007/03// VL - 26 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 555 EP - 564 SN - 07307268 AB - In 1996, the U.S. Congress mandated the development of a screening program for endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) using validated test systems. Subsequently, the Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee recommended the development of a standardized amphibian assay for tier 2 testing of EDCs. For that reason, a tier 2 testing protocol using Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis and a 30-week, flow-through exposure to the antiandrogen flutamide from stage 46 tadpoles through sexually mature adult frogs were developed and evaluated in this pilot study. The endpoints for this study included measurements of frog body lengths and weights, liver weights, ovary/egg mass weights, testicular and ovarian histopathology, plasma vitellogenin levels, and notes on any abnormalities observed at necropsy. Increasing exposure concentrations to flutamide caused significant increases in frogs with no recognizable gonadal tissue and increased body and liver weights in male frogs, whereas the body lengths and weights decreased significantly in female frogs. Important issues must be resolved before a tier 2 amphibian assay can be further developed and validated, including the establishment of baseline values in the controls for the parameters under study; the maintenance, measurement, and timing of exposure concentrations; and the development of additional biomolecular markers of effect. This study demonstrated the feasibility of conducting long-term EDC exposure studies using X. tropicalis.

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of samples cut near the edge of the wafer show periodic bands of contrast typical of a superlattice. Flux variations across the wafer lead to mole fraction oscillations that are dependent on the growth rate and substrate rotation speed. Without careful analysis, this film morphology could be mischaracterized as spontaneous ordering due to strain effects.

Classical approaches have been generally unsuccessful for Marburg and Ebola viruses and pose enormous safety concerns as well. Modern approaches, in particular those using vector-based approaches have met with success in nonhuman primate models although success against Ebola has been more difficult to achieve than Marburg. Despite these successes, more work remains to be done. For the vector-based vaccines, safety in humans and potency in the face of pre-existing anti-vector immunity may be critical thresholds for licensure. The immunological mechanism(s) by which these vaccines protect has not yet been convincingly determined. Licensure of these vaccines for natural outbreaks may be possible through clinical trials although this will be very difficult; licensure may also be possible by pivotal efficacy studies in animal models with an appropriate challenge. Nevertheless, nonhuman primate studies have shown that protection against Marburg and Ebola is possible and there is hope that one day a vaccine will be licensed for human use.

Wagner, Bertron M. Groves, Allen Cymerman, and Charles S. Houston. Hemoglobin P50during a simulated ascent of Mt. Everest, Operation Everest II. High Alt. Med Biol.832–42, 2007.—The amount of O2available to tissues is essentially the product of cardiac output, [Hb], and O2saturation. Saturation depends on PO2and the O2Hb dissociation curve. With altitude, increased [2,3-DPG] shifts the dissociation curve rightward, but hypocapnia and alkalosis move it leftward. We determined both standard and in vivo P50in 5 fit subjects decompressed over 42 days in an altitude chamber to the equivalent of the Mt. Everest summit (Operation Everest II). Arterial and venous blood was sampled at five “altitudes ” (PB 760, 429, 347, 282, 253 mmHg), and PO2, PCO2, pH, O2saturation, [Hb] and [2,3-DPG] were measured. As reported previously, 2,3-DPG levels increased from 1.7 (PB 760) to 3.8 mmolL (PB 282). Standard P50also increased (from 28.2 mmHg at sea level to 33.1 on the summit, p<0.001). Alone, this would have lowered saturation by 12 percentage points at a summit arterial PO2of ∼30 mmHg. However, in vivo P50remained between 26 and 27 mmHg throughout due to progressive hypocapnia and alkalosis. Calculations suggest that the increase in standard P50did not affect summit VO2MAX, alveolar, arterial and venous PO2's, but reduced arterial and venous O2saturations by 8.4 and 17.4 points, respectively, and increased O2extraction by 7.9 percentage points. Reduced saturation was balanced by increased extraction, resulting in no significant overall O2transport benefit, thus leaving unanswered the question of the purpose of increased [2,3-DPG] concentrations at altitude.

Respondents included 1) a consumer panel of civilian lab employees, 2) shoppers in a mall in the northeastern U.S., and 3) U.S. military troops on training exercises. Respondents rated their interest in 49 different food product concepts that varied in food type, processing or production technology, costs, benefits, risks, endorsing agencies, and product information. Results showed that the relative importance of factors did not vary greatly among the consumer groups. Perceived risks associated with the technologies were the most important factors influencing interest in use. Among the emerging technologies assessed, irradiation and genetic modification resulted in the greatest negative effect on likely use, while high pressure processing produced the most positive effect. The term “cold preservation” had positive associations for all groups, but “minimally processed” had negative associations. Implications of the data for the marketing of foods processed by innovative and emerging technologies are discussed. Industrial relevance: The food industry is currently interested in a variety of novel production and processing technologies that may result in economical and improved quality products. However, consumer attitudes toward and conceptions of these new technologies can greatly influence their success in the marketplace. The results of this study show that “perceived risks” of the technologies are the most important determinant of interest in their use by consumers. This and other data uncovered in this study suggest that industry must be vigilant in their knowledge of consumer attitudes toward these processes in order to avoid unexpected failure of these products upon market introduction.

T1 - Dietary tyrosine benefits cognitive and psychomotor performance during body cooling JO - Physiology & Behavior JF - Physiology & Behavior Y1 - 2007/02/28/ VL - 90 IS - 2/3 M3 - Article SP - 301 EP - 307 SN - 00319384 AB - Abstract: Supplemental tyrosine is effective at limiting cold-induced decreases in working memory, presumably by augmenting brain catecholamine levels, since tyrosine is a precursor for catecholamine synthesis. The effectiveness of tyrosine for preventing cold-induced decreases in physical performance has not been examined. This study evaluated the effect of tyrosine supplementation on cognitive, psychomotor, and physical performance following a cold water immersion protocol that lowered body core temperature. Fifteen subjects completed a control trial (CON) in warm (35 °C) water and two cold water trials, each spaced a week apart. Subjects ingested an energy bar during each trial; on one cold trial (TYR) the bar contained tyrosine (300 mg/kg body weight), and on the other cold trial (PLB) and on CON the bar contained no tyrosine. Following each water immersion, subjects completed a battery of performance tasks in a cold air (10 °C) chamber. Core temperature was lower (p =0.0001) on PLB and TYR (both 35.5±0.6 °C) than CON (37.1±0.3 °C). On PLB, performance on a Match-to-Sample task decreased 18% (p =0.02) and marksmanship performance decreased 14% (p =0.002), compared to CON, but there was no difference between TYR and CON. Step test performance decreased by 11% (p =0.0001) on both cold trials, compared to CON. These data support previous findings that dietary tyrosine supplementation is effective for mitigating cold-induced cognitive performance such as working memory, even with reduced core temperature, and extends those findings to include the psychomotor task of marksmanship.

Hydrogen has been shown to support the anaerobic transformation of these explosives. We investigated ethanol and propylene glycol as electron donors for providing syntrophically produced H2 for stimulating the anaerobic biodegradation of explosives in contaminated soil. The study was conducted using anoxic microcosms constructed with slurries of the contaminated soil and groundwater. The addition of 5mM ethanol and propylene glycol enhanced the biodegradation of RDX and HMX relative to the control bottles. Ethanol was depleted within about 20days, resulting in the transient formation of hydrogen, acetate, and methane. The hydrogen headspace concentration increased from 8ppm to 1838ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. Propylene glycol was completely degraded after 15days, forming hydrogen, propionate, and acetate as end-products. The hydrogen headspace concentrations increased from 56ppm to 628ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. No methane formation was observed during the incubation period of 48days. Our findings indicate the addition of ethanol and propylene to the aquifer slurries increased the hydrogen concentrations and enhanced the biotransformation of RDX and HMX in the explosive-contaminated soil.

The organisms in mulch breakdown complex organics to soluble carbon, which can then be used by these and other microorganisms as an electron donor for treating RDX and HMX via reductive pathways. A bench-scale treatability study with organic mulch was conducted for the treatment of RDX- and HMX-contaminated groundwater obtained from a plume at the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Pueblo, Colorado. The site-specific cleanup criteria of 0.55 ppb RDX and 602 ppb HMX were used as the logical goals of the study. Column flow-through tests were run to steady-state at the average site seepage velocity, using a 70%:30% (vol.:vol.) mulch:pea gravel packing to approach the formation''s permeability. Significant results included: (1) Complete removal of 90 ppb influent RDX and 8 ppb influent HMX in steady-state mulch column effluent; (2) pseudo-first-order steady-state kinetic rate constant, k, of 0.20 to 0.27 h−1 based on RDX data, using triplicate parallel column runs; (3) accumulation of reduced RDX intermediates in the steady-state column effluent at less than 2% of the influent RDX mass; (4) no binding of RDX to the column fill material; and (5) no leaching of RDX, HMX or reduction intermediates from the column fill material. The results of the bench-scale study will be used to design and implement a pilot-scale organic mulch/pea gravel permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at the site.

In all devices poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was used as the hole injection layer and a thin layer of cesium fluoride or lithium fluoride has been used at the polymer/cathode interface to aid electron injection. Devices on plastic substrates with a lithium fluoride interlayer performed the best, exhibiting an average external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.8% and luminance of 1600cd/m2 at 40mA/cm2 (7.8V). Stability of this device and morphology of the emissive film have also been investigated.

Results: Presyncope reported in astronauts on landing day was associated with lower peripheral resistance. However, non-presyncopal astronauts demonstrated significantly elevated vascular resistance in the upright posture after compared with before spaceflight. Results from both space and ground experiments suggest that preflight maximal vasoconstrictor capacity is inherently lower in presyncopal astronauts, but unaltered by spaceflight. Conclusions: Vasoconstrictor reserve is associated with lower blood volume adaptation to microgravity. Rather than reduced vascular function, low inherent maximal vasoconstrictor capacity and reduced vasoconstrictor reserve secondary to decreased circulating vascular volume explain lower peripheral vascular resistance in astronauts who experience presyncopal episodes on landing day.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2007/02/13/ VL - 104 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 2056 EP - 2061 SN - 00278424 AB - Here, we report a catalytic beacon sensor for uranyl (UO22+) based on an in vitro-selected UO22+-specific DNAzyme. The sensor consists of a DNA enzyme strand with a 3' quencher and a DNA substrate with a ribonucleotide adenosine (rA) in the middle and a fluorophore and a quencher at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. The presence of UO22+ causes catalytic cleavage of the DNA substrate strand at the rA position and release of the fluorophore and thus dramatic increase of fluorescence intensity. The sensor has a detection limit of 11 parts per trillion (45 pM), a dynamic range up to 400 nM. and selectivity of >1-million-fold over other metal ions. The most interfering metal ion, Th(IV), interacts with the fluorescein fluorophore, causing slightly enhanced fluorescence intensity, with an apparent dissociation constant of ≈230 μM. This sensor rivals the most sensitive analytical instruments for uranium detection, and its application in detecting uranium in contaminated soil samples is also demonstrated. This work shows that simple, cost-effective, and portable metal sensors can be obtained with similar sensitivity and selectivity as much more expensive and sophisticated analytical instruments. Such a sensor will play an important role in environmental remediation of radionuclides such as uranium.

The Army needs a parsimonious set of neuropsychological tests that reliably identify subtle changes for: (1) early detection of individual health and military performance impairments and (2) management of occupational and deployment health risks. Testing must characterize cognitive lapses in healthy individuals faced with relevant operational stressors (i.e., anxiety, information overload, thermal strain, hypoxia, fatigue, head impact, chemical or radiation exposures, metabolic challenges). This effort must also explore the neuropsychological methods in militarily relevant conditions to extend our understanding of relevant functional domains and how well they correspond to modes of testing. The ultimate objective is unobtrusive real-time mental status monitoring.

In addition, we detail a method that dramatically improves the space-filling properties of the resultant Latin hypercubes at the expense of inducing small correlations between the columns in the design matrix. Although the designs are applicable to many situations, they were developed to provide Department of Defense analysts flexibility in fitting models when exploring high-dimensional computer simulations where there is considerable a priori uncertainty about the forms of the response surfaces.

Kirchhoff’s approximation to Green’s theorem is applied to model the three-dimensional scattering interaction of the ultrasound wave field with the vibrating rough surface. The model incorporates the beam patterns of both the transmitting and receiving ultrasound transducers and the statistical properties of the rough surface. Two methods are applied to the ultrasound system for estimating displacement and velocity amplitudes of an oscillating surface: incoherent Doppler shift spectra and coherent interferometry. Motion of the vibrometer over the randomly rough surface leads to time-dependent scattering noise that causes a randomization of the received signal spectrum. Simulations with the model indicate that surface displacement and velocity estimation are highly dependent upon the scan velocity and projected wavelength of the ultrasound vibrometer relative to the roughness height standard deviation and correlation length scales of the rough surface. The model is applied to determine limiting scan speeds for ultrasound vibrometer measuring ground displacements arising from acoustic or seismic excitation to be used in acoustic landmine confirmation sensing.

Pedometers were worn on the hips of 4 trainees in each of 10 BCT companies during all BCT activities. Investigators obtained pedometer readings (steps) on a daily basis, and estimated travel distances were obtained by multiplying steps by the average individual step length. A short questionnaire was administered daily to assure trainees wore the pedometers and trained with their companies all day. Trainees performed an average±SD of 16311 ± 5826 steps/day and traveled an estimated 11.7 ±4.4 kilometers/day. The highest daily locomotor activity was during the field training exercise in which trainees took an average±SD of 22372 ± 12517 steps/day traveling an estimated 16.2 ± 9.7 kilometers/day. Differences among the 10 companies ranged from 14720±6649 steps/day to 18729 ± 6328 steps/day. This survey provided the first examination of locomotor physical activity during an entire BCT cycle.

Fifteen athletes and seventeen nonathletes volunteered for the study. FFM was measured by two-compartment densitometry. Contiguous magnetic resonance imaging was used to obtain images from the first cervical vertebrae to the ankle joint (no inter-slice gap) for each subject, and SM, liver and kidney cross-sectional areas and organ-tissue volumes were determined. Organ-tissue volumes (cm³) were converted to mass (kg) by multiplying the volumes by the assumed constant density of the tissues. On average, athletes had greater FFM (69.1 kg) than the nonathletes (52.6 kg). SM, liver, and kidney masses in athletes (33.0 kg, 1.84 kg and 0.39 kg, respectively) were higher compared with nonathletes (23.5 kg, 1.39 kg and 0.31 kg, respectively). When the various determinants of FFM were expressed as ratios, it was determined that the ratio of SM mass to FFM was higher in athletes (47.7%) than nonathletes (44.7%), and the ratios of liver and kidney to FFM were similar for the two groups (2.6% and 0.6%, respectively, for athletes: and 2.7% and 0.6%, respectively, for nonathletes). A strong correlation between FFM and SM mass was observed in athletes and nonathletes and the slopes of these regression lines were almost identical and parallel. FFM was also significantly correlated with liver and kidney mass for both athletes and nonathletes. This study suggests that SM, liver, and kidney masses are increased by FFM accumulation in resistance and/or high intensity trained athletes.

If applied to ecotoxicology, genomics tools could greatly enhance the ability to understand the modes of toxicity in environmentally relevant organisms. Daphnia magna, a small aquatic crustacean, is considered a ‘keystone’ species in ecological food webs and is an indicator species for toxicant exposure. Our objective was to demonstrate the potential utility of gene expression profiling in ecotoxicology by identifying novel biomarkers and uncovering potential modes of action in D. magna. Using a custom O. magna cDNA microarray, we identified distinct expression profiles in response to sublethal copper, cadmium, and zinc exposures and discovered specific biomarkers of exposure including two probable metallothioneins, and a ferritin mRNA with a functional IRE. The gene expression patterns support known mechanisms of metal toxicity and reveal novel modes of action including zinc inhibition of chitinase activity. By integrating gene expression profiling into an environmentally important organism, this study provides experimental support for the utility of ecotoxicogenomics.

However, use of observations by humans introduces subjectivity, and is expensive due to semiannual certification requirements of the observers. The Digital Opacity Method (DOM) was developed to quantify plume opacity at lower cost, with improved objectivity, and to provide a digital record. Photographs of plumes were taken with a calibrated digital camera under specified conditions. Pixel values from those photographs were then interpreted to quantify the plume's opacity using a contrast model and a transmission model. The contrast model determines plume opacity based on pixel values that are related to the change in contrast between two backgrounds that are located behind and next to the plume. The transmission model determines the plume's opacity based on pixel values that are related to radiances from the plume and its background. D0M was field tested with a smoke generator. The individual and average opacity errors of DOM were within the USEPA Method 9 acceptable error limits for both field campaigns.

In this study, we developed a real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that targets the xplA functional gene involved in the breakdown/transformation of RDX. The xplA gene, described previously [Seth-Smith, H.M., Rosser, S.J., Basran, A., Travis, E.R., Dabbs, E.R., Nicklin S., Bruce, N.C., 2002. Cloning, sequencing, and characterization of the hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine degradation gene cluster from Rhodococcus rhodochrous. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 68, 4764–4771.], was isolated from Rhodococcus rhodochrous 11Y and codes for a fused flavodoxin–cytochrome P450 protein. We applied the xplA TaqMan PCR assay to detect and monitor strain 11Y in soil microcosms that had been amended with strain 11Y and RDX as well as soil microcosms in which soils had been subjected to heat-sterilization prior to the addition of strain 11Y and RDX. The specificity of the assay was tested against a number of genomic bacterial templates and surprisingly found to cross react with other RDX degrading bacteria. Two of these strains, Gordonia sp. KTR9 and Williamsia sp. KTR4, were previously isolated in our laboratory and were not known to possess xplA homologs. Southern blot analysis confirmed the presence of xplA gene homologs in both of these strains. The sensitivity of the xplA TaqMan PCR primer/probes set was evaluated using 11Y cell standards as well as 11Y cell standards spiked in soils that mimicked conditions found in the experimental soil microcosms. While the assay was found to be linear over a range of 6 orders of magnitude for both sets of standards, sensitivity of the assay was reduced between one and two logs for cells spiked in soil. The capacity to monitor the presence of specific microorganisms and/or genes coding enzymes involved in RDX transformation/breakdown in complex environmental samples will be critical for bioremediation strategies targeting explosives that rely on in situ bioaugmentation and monitored natural attenuation.

Persistent differences in incidence and outcome are undoubtedly due to multiple factors, but one element in poor outcome may be treatment choice. Those treatments shown to be related to best outcomes are less likely to be chosen by certain groups of women. The effects of economic and cultural factors on breast cancer treatment choice have not been thoroughly explored; these factors must be understood if health care professionals are to intervene effectively to address disparities and improve breast cancer outcomes for all women. Methods: A review of the breast cancer literature was conducted in order to: (1) describe breast cancer disparities in the United States; (2) delineate factors that might contribute to those disparities; (3) assess possible mitigating factors for predominant causes; (4) begin to decide how health care interventions might allay the factors that contribute to disparities in breast cancer incidence and mortality. Results: Breast cancer incidence and outcome disparities in the United States are due to multiple interacting factors. These include information about treatment, different types of treatment, the emotional context of decision-making, and patient preference for level of involvement. Treatment decision-making is complex. Conclusion: Health literacy and level of decision-making involvement, both embedded in social and economic reality, are key components in breast cancer treatment decision-making and may contribute to breast cancer disparities in the United States. Current models of shared decision-making may not be generalizable to all breast cancer patients. Practice implications: Optimal breast cancer outcomes for all women depend on culturally and ethnically appropriate professional support.

DESIGN:: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING:: Animal laboratory of a government research institute. SUBJECTS:: Twenty swine (weight 36.4 ± 0.11 kg). INTERVENTIONS:: Fixed-volume hemorrhage followed by resuscitation; off-line analysis of RRI and SAP data. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:: Anesthetized swine (shock group, n = 12) underwent withdrawal of 30 mL/kg blood in 10 mL/kg decrements. A control group (n = 8) received maintenance fluids only. Electrocardiogram and arterial pressure waveforms were acquired at 500 Hz. Eight hundred-beat data sets were analyzed at six time points: at baseline, after each blood withdrawal, after lactated Ringer''s resuscitation, and after infusion of shed blood. Nonlinear methods were used to estimate the complexity (approximate entropy, sample entropy, Lempel-Ziv entropy, normalized entropy of symbol dynamics), RRI bits per word, and fractal dimension by curve lengths and by dispersion analysis of the RRI and SAP time series. Fast Fourier transformation was used to measure the high-frequency and low-frequency powers of RRI and SAP. Baroreflex sensitivity was assessed in the time domain with the sequence method. Hemorrhagic shock caused decreases in RRI complexity as quantified by approximate entropy, sample entropy, and symbol dynamics; these changes were reversed by resuscitation. Similar but statistically insignificant changes in fractal dimension by curve lengths were seen. RRI high-frequency power decreased with hemorrhagic shock—indicating withdrawal of vagal cardiac input—and was restored by resuscitation. Similar changes in baroreflex sensitivity were seen. Hemorrhagic shock did not affect SAP complexity. CONCLUSIONS:: Hemorrhagic shock caused a reversible decrease in RRI complexity; these changes may be mediated by changes in vagal cardiac control. Assessment of RRI complexity may permit identification of casualties with hemorrhagic shock.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2007/02// VL - 49 IS - 1 M3 - journal article SP - 120 EP - 135 SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: A prototype interface was developed to support decision making during tactical operations; a laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the capability of this interface to support a critical activity (i.e., obtaining the status of friendly combat resources).Background: Effective interface design strategies have been developed for domains that have primarily law-driven (e.g., process control) or intent-driven (e.g., information retrieval) constraints. However, design strategies for intermediate domains in which both types of constraints are equally critical, such as military command and control, have not been explored as extensively. The principles of direct perception, direct manipulation, and perception-action loops were used to develop a hybrid interface design strategy ("perception-action icons") that was incorporated into the prototype interface.Methods: A qualitative tactical simulation and an alternative interface (an experimental version of an existing U.S. Army interface) were developed. Participants used both interfaces to provide estimates of friendly combat resources for three different categories of information at three different echelon levels.Results: The results were unequivocal, indicating that the interface with perception-action icons produced significantly better performance.Conclusion: The perception-action icon design strategy was very effective in this experimental context. The potential for this design strategy to be useful for other intermediate domains is explored.Application: Actual or potential applications of this research include both specific interface design strategies for military command and control and general interface design principles for intermediate work domains.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2007/02// VL - 49 IS - 1 M3 - journal article SP - 76 EP - 87 SN - 00187208 AB - Objective: Effects of four types of automation support and two levels of automation reliability were examined. The objective was to examine the differential impact of information and decision automation and to investigate the costs of automation unreliability.Background: Research has shown that imperfect automation can lead to differential effects of stages and levels of automation on human performance.Method: Eighteen participants performed a "sensor to shooter" targeting simulation of command and control. Dependent variables included accuracy and response time of target engagement decisions, secondary task performance, and subjective ratings of mental work-load, trust, and self-confidence.Results: Compared with manual performance, reliable automation significantly reduced decision times. Unreliable automation led to greater cost in decision-making accuracy under the higher automation reliability condition for three different forms of decision automation relative to information automation. At low automation reliability, however, there was a cost in performance for both information and decision automation.Conclusion: The results are consistent with a model of human-automation interaction that requires evaluation of the different stages of information processing to which automation support can be applied.Application: If fully reliable decision automation cannot be guaranteed, designers should provide users with information automation support or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of raw data.

Regarding chemical warfare agent decontamination, VHP is also effective against HD and VX, but not GD. Simple addition of ammonia gas to VHP affords reactivity toward GD, while maintaining efficacy for HD (and bioagents) and further enhancing efficacy for VX. Thus, modified VHP is a broad-spectrum CB decontaminant suitable for fumigant-type decontamination scenarios, i.e., building, aircraft, and vehicle interiors and sensitive equipment. Finally, as an interesting aside to the current study, commercial ammonia-containing cleaners are also shown to be effective surface decontaminants for GD, but not for VX or HD.

Samples, including 376 ticks comprising 9 Amblyomma species, 29 capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) spleens, 5 canine blood, and 75 human blood samples from febrile patients with history of tick bites were tested by a real-time PCR assay targeting a fragment of the Ehrlichia dsb gene. Ehrlichia DNA was not detected in any tick, capybara or human samples. In contrast, 4 out of 5 dogs contained Ehrlichia canis DNA in their blood, which were sequenced, representing the first report of E. canis infecting dogs in the Amazon region of Brazil. Further studies are needed to evaluate the presence of other agents of human and animal ehrlichioses in Brazil.

We used hapten and protein conjugates of anti-CR2 mAbs as models for C3dg-opsonized antigens and immune complexes to examine the handling of and immune response to these reagents in mice and in non-human primates (NHP). Mice immunized and boosted i.v. with only 100ng of Alexa 488 rat anti-mouse CR1/2 mAb 7G6 had strong IgG immune responses to the Alexa 488 hapten and to rat IgG, compared to very weak immune responses in mice treated with a comparable isotype control; larger doses of Alexa 488 mAb 7G6 did not increase the immune response. A vaccine constructed by cross-linking anthrax protective antigen to mAb 7G6 proved to be effective at low doses in generating sufficiently high titer serum IgG antibodies to neutralize anthrax lethal toxin in vitro and to protect mice from i.v. challenge with anthrax lethal toxin. When biotinylated HB135, a mouse mAb specific for human CR2, was injected i.v. into NHP, the probe manifested the same initial marginal zone B cell binding and subsequent localization to follicular dendritic cells as we have previously reported for comparable experiments in mice. Moreover, i.v. immunization of NHP with 1μg/kg of Alexa 488 mAb HB135 promoted an IgG immune response to the Alexa 488 hapten and to mouse IgG. Taken together, these results demonstrate the efficacy of using anti-CR2 mAbs as antigen carriers for i.v. immunization with small amounts of antigens without adjuvant.

The pressure-induced alterations in the spectral profiles were studied in a compression sequence to 30.2 GPa using Raman spectroscopy and to 26.6 GPa using far-infrared spectroscopy. At pressures near 4.0 GPa, several changes become immediately apparent in the Raman spectrum, such as large frequency shifts, mode splittings, and intensity changes, which are associated with a phase transition from -RDX to -RDX. Our study extends the kinetic stability of -RDX to pressures near 18.0 GPa. Evidence for a new phase was found at pressures between 17.8 and 18.8 GPa and is based on the appearance of new vibrational bands and associated changes in intensity patterns. The new phase has vibrational characteristics that are similar to those of -RDX, suggesting the two polymorphs share a related crystal structure.

According to the structure and composition of the membranes, the battery separators can be broadly divided as three groups: (1) microporous polymer membranes, (2) non-woven fabric mats and (3) inorganic composite membranes. The microporous polymer membranes are characterised by their thinness and thermal shutdown properties. The non-woven mats have high porosity and a low cost, while the composite membranes have excellent wettability and exceptional thermal stability. The manufacture, characteristics, performance and modifications of these separators are introduced and discussed. Among numerous battery separators, the thermal shutdown and ceramic separators are of special importance in enhancing the safety of Li-ion batteries. The former consists of either a polyethylene (PE)–polypropylene (PP) multilayer structure or a PE–PP blend which increases safety by allowing meltdown of the PE to close the ionic conduction pathways at a temperature below that at which thermal runway occurs. Whereas the latter comprises nano-size ceramic materials coated on two sides of a flexible and highly porous non-woven matrix which enhances the safety by retaining extremely stable dimensions even at very high temperatures to prevent the direct contact of the electrodes.

JO - Inorganic Chemistry JF - Inorganic Chemistry Y1 - 2007/01/08/ VL - 46 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 273 EP - 277 SN - 00201669 AB - A series of functionalized radical anion semiquinone (SQ-Ar) ligands and their MnII- and CuIIhydro-tris(3-cumenyl-5-methylpyrazolyl)borate (TpCum,MeMII) complexes were prepared and characterized. The semiquinone ligands have substituted phenyl rings (Ar = -C6H5NO2, -C6H5OMe, -C6H5-tert-Bu, etc.) attached to the SQ 5-position. Despite the `remoteness" of the phenyl ring substituents, the MII-SQ exchange parameters, J, were found to vary nearly 3-fold. Attempts to quantify the substituent effects on J are complicated by the fact that not all complexes could be structurally characterized. As such, substituent effects and phenyl-ring torsion angles could conspire to produce the observed variation in J values. Although there is no clear trend in the J values as a function of SQ substituent for the MnII complexes, for the CuII complexes, electron-withdrawing substituents on the phenyl ring have greater ferromagnetic J values than the CuII complexes of SQ ligands with electron-donating substituents. This trend suggests a FM contribution from MLCT excited states in the copper complexes.

Soft segments (SS) were based on poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMO) (average molecular weight 1000 or 2000g/mol) and hard segments (HS) were based on a single molecule of a diisocyanate, which was either 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (pPDI) or 1,4-trans-cyclohexyl diisocyanate (CHDI). An increase in the SS molecular weight was found to lead to an increased formation of SS crystallites below 0°C, which increased the low temperature modulus. Both 1K and 2K PTMO-based polyureas showed a microphase separated morphology, where the HS formed thread-like, crystalline structures that were dispersed in the continuous SS matrix. Upon deformation, the HS were found to breakdown into distinctly smaller threads, which oriented along the direction of the strain; this effect was found to be partially reversible and time dependent. Both the 1K and 2K polyureas based on HDI HS were found to be thermally stable and potentially melt-processible.

This commentary takes exception to certain statements and conclusions in King's article, and in the process, sketches a standard model of military group cohesion. This model is based on social integration in the military and is composed of both primary group cohesion (peer and leader bonding) and secondary group cohesion (organizational and institutional bonding). The essence of peer bonding is given as social relationships based on trust and teamwork. The standard model is presented as a tool to sensitize ethnographers about what to look for when observing military interactions and to help them interpret what they see.

A robotic mission to obtain in situ samples and to quantify the amount of this valuable resource must be designed carefully to avoid dissipating too much heat in the regolith during coring or drilling and, thus, causing the ice to sublimate before it is processed. Here I use new results for the saturation vapor pressure of water ice to extend previous estimates of its sublimation rate down to a temperature of 40 K, typical of the permanently shaded craters near the lunar poles where the water ice is presumed to be trapped. I find that, for temperatures below 70 K, the sublimation rate of an exposed ice surface is much less than one molecule of water vapor lost per square centimeter of surface per hour. But even if a small ice sample (∼4 ng) were heated to 150 K, it could exist for over two hours without sublimating a significant fraction of its mass. Hence, carefully designed sampling and sample handling should be able to preserve water ice obtained near the lunar poles for an accurate measurement of its in situ concentration.

Strong interface bonding between NiTi fiber and A16061 matrix was obtained. The strengthening mechanism of shape memory effect associated with short fiber reinforcement was theoretically examined by extending Taya's previous model. The stress-strain behavior of the short fiber-reinforced NiTi/A16061 composite was investigated at room and elevated temperature both experimentally and analytically. In order to activate the shape memory effect, the composite was prestrained at a temperature between martensite start temperature M3 and austenite start temperature As' then yield stresses as a function of the prestrain were tested and predicted at a temperature above the austenite finish temperature Af. It was found that: (1) the yield stress of the composite increased with increasing the amount of prestrain; (2) the prestrain value should not exceed 0.01, to make use of strengthening of the composite without loss of the ductility of the matrix; and (3) failure of the composite was caused by the strength mismatch between the NiTi fiber and aluminum matrix.

These alternators have similar but not identical electrical characteristics. The original goal was to use these alternators to simulate a two-machine pulsed alternator system to study thyristor converter operation, with the two machines electrically connected at the output (dc side) of the thyristor (SCR) converter. Additional experiments were also run with the two alternators electrically connected at the input (ac side) of the thyristor converter. In the experiments, control algorithms were developed to test self-excitation and to discharge pulsed energy into various types of loads—resistive, inductive, and capacitive—to evaluate energy sharing from each alternator. Negative resistance circuits were implemented to adjust the field winding time constant of each alternator to achieve correct resistance/reactance ratio of full-scale pulsed alternators and to achieve equal energy discharge from each alternator.

The rail gun is modeled as a beam of finite length sitting on an elastic foundation with cantilevered support at the breech end of rails. The structural response of the rail is governed by a transient fourth-order differential equation with an extra term of elastic support (containment and insulator) subjected to a transient forcing function (a moving magnetic pressure). The complete solution of the governing equation is derived and illustrated in details. The displacement solution can be further derived to obtain strain and stress profile as well as dynamic response of the rail gun. This paper mainly reports the theoretic solution which provides a step forward to predict the dynamic behavior of rail guns.

Often composed of thousands of precision sheet metal laminates to prevent induced eddy currents, the launchers are labor intensive to build. The backbone railgun provides a monolithic metallic containment structure. Induced eddy currents are inhibited by the introduction of a large number of slits along the length of the launcher that achieve an effect analogous to traditional laminates. It is anticipated that the machining of slits from a monolithic launcher will lend itself to factory automation far more so than assembling a full length launcher from thousands of individual metal laminates. The principal advantages are: 1) elimination of stack-up tolerances; 2) producibility; and 3) stiffness. This paper will refine the concept and include an assessment of its ability to achieve magnetic transparency relative to traditional designs.

As the first step, the cooling system model with a conventional mechanical coolant pump was validated with experimental data. After the model validation, the mechanical pump sub-model was replaced with the electric pump submodel, and then the potential benefit of the electric pump on fuel economy was investigated with the simulation. Based on coolant flow analysis, a modified thermostat hysteresis was proposed to reduce the recirculating flow and the electric pump effort. It was also demonstrated that the radiator size could be reduced without any cooling performance penalty by replacing the mechanical pump with the electric pump. The predicted results indicate that the cooling system with the electric pump can dramatically reduce the pump power consumption during the FTP 74 driving schedule and that the radiator can be downsized by more than 27% of the original size, under the grade load condition.

The CoSMIR is a total-power radiometer that measures radiation at nine channels over the frequency range of 50-183 GHz. The instrument employs a two-axis gimbaled mechanism to generate the conical scan with periodic calibration. Its scan geometry is software programmable and can be designed to serve the scientific requirements of an experiment. A series of CoSMIR flights was conducted over the coastal regions of California in March and December of 2004, in which the instrument was programmed to acquire both conical and across-track scan data sets simultaneously. Two of these flights on March 25 and December 2 contained segments over the snow-covered Sierra Mountain Range and were selected to demonstrate the novel features of this new instrument.

Despite industry laboratories classifying trenbolone as nonteratogenic, data showed that embryonic exposure to this androgenic chemical altered development of the immune system in Japanese quail. Trenbolone is lipophilic, persistent, and released into the environment in manure used as soil fertilizer. This is the first study to date to assess this chemical's immunotoxic effects in an avian species. A one-time injection of trenbolone into yolks was administered to mimic maternal deposition, and subsequent effects on the development and function of the immune system were determined in chicks and adults. Development of the bursa of Fabricius, an organ responsible for development of the humoral arm of the immune system, was disrupted, as indicated by lower masse, and smaller and fewer follicles at day 1 of hatch. Morphological differences in the bursas persisted in adults, although no differences in either two measures of immune function were observed. Total numbers of circulating leukocytes were reduced and heterophil–lymphocyte ratios were elevated in chicks but not adults. This study shows that trenbolone acetate is teratogenic and immunotoxic in Japanese quail, and provides evidence that the quail immune system may be fairly resilient to embryonic endocrine-disrupting chemical-induced alterations following no further exposure posthatch.

As part of a larger study of this structural system, shake table tests of a full-size, one bay two-story model were conducted on a shake table. The objectives of the research were to study the dynamic behavior of this structure under large amplitudes of motion and to determine if commonly used analytical models are able to predict the measured motion of the structure with reasonable accuracy. Initial attempts to reproduce the measured results were quite poor. This problem was a result of the inability of the shake table to properly control the table motion. This paper describes the process and results of trying to reconcile the measured and calculated responses of the model. In doing so, some light was also shed on the ability of commonly used models for the dynamic analysis of cold-formed steel buildings to predict their response to large earthquakes.

The results show that a short irreversible plateau at 1.5–1.7V versus Li+/Li was inevitably present in the first cycle of graphite, which is attributed to the reduction of –OCOCOO− pieces as a result of the chemical equilibrium of oxalatoborate ring-opening. This is the inherent property of LiBC2O4F2 and it is independent of the type of electrode. EIS analyses suggest that the reduced products of LiBC2O4F2 at 1.5–1.7V participate into the formation of a preliminary SEI. Based on the distribution of the initial irreversible capacity and the correlation of the SEI resistance and graphite potential, it was concluded that the SEI formed at potentials below 0.25V during which the lithiation takes place is most responsible for the long-term operation of the graphite electrode in Li-ion batteries. In addition, the results show that the charge-transfer resistance reflects well the kinetics of the electrode reactions, and that its value is in inverse proportion to the differential capacity of the electrode.

Since spatial variability is often widespread, due mainly to wind, micro-climatic and topographic effects, extrapolating point measurements can be difficult. Tools which can quickly characterize snowpack stratigraphy, such as high frequency radar and mechanical probes, will be required for a complete understanding of the effects of spatial variability, however interpretation of these kinds of measurements still remains challenging. We compare measurements from a portable 8–18 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar with SnowMicroPenetrometer (SMP) and standard snowpit measurements. Although significant variability existed at the sub-meter scale, major stratigraphic horizons could be followed along radar profiles and identified in SMP measurements. A very thin hard crust (0.2–0.4 mm) that was continuous caused strong signals that were identifiable in both the SMP and the radar measurements at five different sites along a 10 m traverse. Two other more subtle transitions in the SMP signal were highly correlated with the locations of radar reflections. This work suggests that combining FMCW radar measurements, to characterize snowpack geometry, with SMP measurements, to characterize mechanical properties of layers, may be a useful technique for quantifying the spatial variability of the snowpack.

The outer nest of this prediction system encompassed the Southern California Bight. This forecasting system is described in this paper, with analysis of results via comparison to the extensive buoy network in the region. There are a number of potential errors, two of which are poor resolution of islands in the Bight—which have a strong impact on nearshore wave climate—and the use of the stationary assumption for computations. These two problems have straightforward solutions, but the solutions are computationally expensive, so an operational user must carefully consider their cost. The authors study the impact of these two types of error (relative to other errors, such as error in boundary forcing) using several hindcasts performed after the completion of NCEX. It is found that, with buoy observations as ground truth, the stationary assumption leads to a modest increase in root-mean-square error; this is due to relatively poor prediction of the timing of swell arrivals and local sea growth/decay. The model results are found to be sensitive to the resolution of islands; however, coarse resolution does not incur an appreciable penalty in terms of error statistics computed via comparison to buoy observations, suggesting that other errors dominate. Inaccuracy in representation of the local atmospheric forcing likely has a significant impact on wave model error. Perhaps most importantly, the accuracy of directional distribution of wave energy at the open ocean boundaries appears to be a critical limitation on the accuracy of the model-data comparisons inside the Bight.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2006/12/15/ VL - 40 IS - 24 M3 - Article SP - 7521 EP - 7527 SN - 0013936X AB - The detailed physical characteristics of the subarctic snowpack must be known to quantify the exchange of adsorbed pollutants between the atmosphere and the snow cover. For the first time, the combined evolutions of specific surface area (SSA), snow stratigraphy,temperature, and density were monitored throughout winter in central Alaska. We define the snow area index (SAl) as the vertically integrated surface area of snow crystals, and this variable is used to quantify pollutants' adsorption. Intense metamorphism generated by strong temperature gradients formed a thick depth hoar layer with low SSA (90 cm² g-1) and density (200 kg m-3), resulting in a low SAl. After snowpack buildup in autumn, the winter SAl remained around 1000 m²/m² of ground, much lower than the SAl of the Arctic snowpack, 2500 m² m². With the example of PCBs 28 and 180, we calculate that the subarctic snowpack is a smaller reservoir of adsorbed pollutants than the Arctic snowpack and less efficiently transfers adsorbed pollutants from the atmosphere to ecosystems. The difference is greater for the more volatile PCB 28. With climate change, snowpack structure will be modified, and the snowpack's ability to transfer adsorbed pollutants from the atmosphere to ecosystems may be reduced, especially for the more volatile pollutants.

The inverted, full-stack structures could be flexed in tension and compression without mechanical failure or deterioration of optical output, and flex radii of a few centimeters are routinely achieved. Thus, the feasibility of a flexible, inorganic, large area electroluminescent emitter has been demonstrated. Compared to the Al2O3 devices, the numbers for structures employing BaTa2O6 represent a 29% increase in flux density at 980 nm, a 36% increase at 1540 nm, an 18% increase in conduction charge, a 10% increase in phosphor field and a 14% increase in threshold voltage. Our interpretation of the data is as follows: in the case of BaTa2O6, the interface states from which electrons are sourced into the phosphor are deeper, requiring a higher voltage for field emission. As a consequence, electrons are injected into the phosphor when the phosphor field is higher, resulting in better excitation efficiency and improved optical generation. The increase in conduction charge is interpreted as a higher density of interface states, which appear to have a narrower energy distribution based on the more abrupt threshold behavior observed.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology Y1 - 2006/12// VL - 60 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - R1749 EP - R1755 SN - 03636119 AB - To characterize the effects of daytime exercise on subsequent overnight growth hormone (GH) secretion and elimination dynamics, serum was sampled, and OH was measured every 10 mm for 12 h (1800 to 0600) in a control (CON) condition and after a 50-set resistance exercise protocol (EX) from 1500 to 1700. GH was measured with a conventional immunoreactive (IR) and an immunofunctional (IF) assay, and values were analyzed via a multi-parameter deconvolution analysis. EX resulted in a higher overnight secretory burst frequency [CON: 7.6 (SD 2.4) < EX: 9.4 (2.2) bursts per 12 h, P = 0.005] but lower mean burst mass [CON: 9.2 (4.7) > EX: 6.0 (2.9) µg/l, P = 0.0 191 and secretory rate [CON: 0.68 (0.29)> EX: 0.48 (0.23) µg/l/min; P = 0.015; ANOVA main effect means presented]. Approximate entropy (ApEn) was greater after EX, indicating a less orderly GH release process than CON. The estimated half-life of IF OH was significantly lower than IR GH [IF: 15.3 (1.1) < IR 19.8 (1.6) mm, P < 0.001] but similar between the CON and EX conditions (~17 mm). Despite the changes in secretory dynamics, 12-h mean and integrated OH concentrations were similar between conditions. The results suggest that although quantitatively similar total amounts of OH are secreted overnight in CON and EX conditions, resistance exercise alters the dynamics of secretion by attenuating burst mass and amplitude yet increasing burst frequency.

Computer, hand, and journal literature searches identified 53 potential studies. On review, 28 of these studies met the inclusion criteria of having a perceived and actual (i.e., objective) measure of physical fitness. Using random effects modeling procedures, we found a medium mean effect size of .38 (N = 33 independent effect sizes, p < .001, Fail-Safe N = 4,654). Moderator analyses revealed that younger people had more accurate estimates of their fitness, and standardized perceived fitness measures had significantly larger effect sizes than unstandardized perceived fitness measures. In summary, men and women of all ages accurately perceived their fitness level, with larger effects evidenced for younger people and for studies that used standardized perceived fitness measures. Unfortunately, because most Americans are either low active or sedentary, their perceptions reveal that they are not fit. Research limitations and future directions are discussed.

We argue that it is because of globalization that sudden contact is unlikely to occur in present-day interactions. We propose a refined definition of ‘sudden contact’, which finds its base in a more fluid conception of culture, and suggest that ‘sudden contact’ is most likely to occur at the personal level of meaning making. In light of our refined definition we argue that declines in diversity at least in number, do not exist. Rather, we assert that while certain cultural ascriptions might be eliminated, new forms emerge to take their place, which not only serve the same culturally relevant function, but also allow for the retention of group diversity.

This scheme will potentially eliminate the bias of a density of points which are approximately equally spaced on the surface, as well as eliminate possible weighting requirements for areas of higher density. This method has the potential to reduce computational effort, as fewer points might be required to define the surface area. The global trial function vector can be assigned to these dust points and then entered into the complex variable boundary element method (CVBEM) commercial code. This scheme can be applied to each piece of a system that is comprised of a connected multiple geometry. A noticeable benefit of this approach is that the same problem can be studied several times, using a new random distribution of surface points each time. The smallest error can then be determined and that run selected. The Mathematica code used to generate the scheme is attached as an appendix.

Two-dimensional equations for coupled thickness-shear, flexural and extensional vibrations of a shallow shell are used. The equations are simplified to a single equation for thickness-shear, and two equations for coupled thickness-shear and extension. Equations with different levels of coupling are used to study vibrations of rotated Y-cut quartz and langasite resonators. The influence of the middle plane curvature and coupling to extension is examined. The effect of middle plane curvature on normal acceleration sensitivity is also studied. It is shown that the middle plane curvature causes a frequency shift as large as 10−8 g−1 under a normal acceleration. These results have practical implications for the design of concave–convex and plano-convex resonators.

In the present study, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to a range of 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) concentrations (0.44-44 μmol/L [0.1-10 mg/L] and 4.4-22.0 μmol/L [1.0-5.0 mg/L] in 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively). Median lethal concentrations of 11.93 μmol/L (2.7 mg/L; 95% confidence limit [CL], 10.29-13.83 μmol/L) and 9.68 μmol/L (2.20 mg/L; 95% CL, 9.17-10.22 μmol/L) were calculated in the 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively, and median lethal body residue of 101.0 μmol/kg (95% CL, 86.0-118.7 μmol/kg) was calculated in 4-d experiments. To study bioaccumulation, fish were exposed to 4.4 μmol/L (1 mg/L) of TNT for 12 h. Rapid bioaccumulation of TNT occurred within the first 10 min of exposure (ku = 30.4 L/kg/h). Elimination of ΣTNT (molar sum of TNT and degradation products 2- and 4-aminodinitrotoluenes) was fast, with an elimination rate (ke) of 2.24/h and a short half-life (0.31 h). The bioconcentration factors determined using 6-h mean tissue and water concentrations of ΣTNT were 8.40 and 4.68 L/kg for the uptake experiment and the uptake portion of the elimination experiments, respectively. To determine the target organ for TNT in fish, juvenile fathead minnow were exposed to 2.2 μmol/L (0.5 mg/L) of [14C]TNT for 10 d. Radiolabeled compounds primarily bioaccumulated in the visceral tissues and spleen in comparison to gill, brain, muscle, and remainder tissue groups. The present study demonstrates the low bioaccumulation potential and rapid uptake of TNT in the fathead minnow.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2006/12// VL - 42 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1503 EP - 1525 SN - 1093474X AB - A primary water quality problem caused by non-point source pollution (NPSP) is eutrophication, from excess nutrients in receiving water bodies. The control of nutrients arising from NPSP is difficult because the source areas can be hard to identify and typical treatment methods are infeasible due to the distributed nature of the pollutants. It may be possible to reduce nutrient related water quality problems through the restoration of highly disturbed watersheds with best management practices (BMPs). While restoration attempts may provide significant returns, they can be costly to implement and often are met with resistance in agricultural communities. Extending model results beyond the range of calibration to model future conditions such as for restoration scenarios requires the use of physically-based models that include the important processes that generate streamflow and material transport, uptake, loss, transformation, and recycling of nutrients and other material. The research and development objectives of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, are to develop a watershed assessment and management model to simulate transport, uptake, loss, transformation, and recycling of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and associated material such as sediment and organic matter. In this study we will discuss current efforts at the ERDC's Environmental Laboratory to develop a state-of-the-art watershed water quality model.

One tool that has been used to support environmental decision-making is comparative risk assessment (CRA), but CRA lacks a structured method for arriving at an optimal project alternative. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) provides better-supported techniques for the comparison of project alternatives based on decision matrices, and it also provides structured methods for the incorporation of project stakeholders'' opinions in the ranking of alternatives. We argue that the inherent uncertainty in our ability to predict ecosystem evolution and response to different management policies requires shifting from optimization-based management to an adaptive management paradigm. This paper brings together a multidisciplinary review of existing decision-making approaches at regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe and synthesizes state-of-the-art research in CRA, MCDA, and adaptive management methods applicable to environmental remediation and restoration projects. We propose a basic decision analytic framework that couples MCDA with adaptive management and its public participation and stakeholder value elicitation methods, and we demonstrate application of the framework to a realistic case study based on contaminated sediment management issues in the New York/New Jersey Harbor.

The approach stimulates common sulfate-reducing soil bacteria, facilitating the geochemical conversion of native iron minerals into iron sulfides. Iron sulfides have the ability to chemically reduce many common CAH compounds including PCE, TCE, DCE, similar to zero valent iron (Fe0). Results of a field test at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware, are given in this paper. BiRD was stimulated by direct injection of Epson salt (MgSO4·7H2O) and sodium (L) lactate (NaC3H5O3) in five injection wells. Sediment was sampled before and 8 months after injection. Significant iron sulfide minerals developed in the sandy aquifer matrix. From ground water analyses, treatment began a few weeks after injection with up to 95% reduction in PCE, TCE, and cDCE in less than 1 year. More complete CAH treatment is likely at a larger scale than this demonstration.

T1 - Generation of aberrant forms of DFF40 concurrent with caspase-3 activation during acute and chronic liver injury in rats JO - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications JF - Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications Y1 - 2006/11/17/ VL - 350 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 457 EP - 462 SN - 0006291X AB - Abstract: DNA fragmentation factors (DFF) form protein complexes consisting of nuclease DFF40/CAD and inhibitory chaperon DFF45/ICAD. Although activated caspase-3 has been shown to cleave DFF complexes with the release of active DFF40 and DNA fragmentation, the organ-specific mechanisms of DFF turnover during liver injury accompanied by massive apoptosis are unclear. In this study, we investigated hepatic profile of DFF40-immunopositive proteins in two models of liver injury in rats: acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and chronic alcohol administration. We show that DFF40-like proteins occur in intact rat liver mainly as a 52kDa protein. Hepatic I/R-induced caspase-3 activation and a time-dependent accumulation of DFF40-positive protein fragments (40 and 20kDa), most likely via specific caspase-3 cleavage as evidenced by in vitro digestion of intact liver tissue with recombinant caspase-3. In addition, immunoprecipitation with DFF40 followed by Western blot with active caspase-3 antibody revealed the presence of active caspase-3 in DFF40-immunopositive 20kDa proteins. Chronic alcohol administration in rats also resulted in a dose-dependent fragmentation of DFF40 proteins similar to I/R injury. Collectively, these data demonstrate that DFF40 immunopositive proteins exist in the liver as distinct, tissue-specific molecular forms that may be processed by caspase-3 during both acute and chronic liver injury.

Our goals were to (1) characterize the types of explosive particles, (2) estimate the explosive ‘footprint’ for different munitions, and (3) estimate the mass of Comp B remaining after each detonation. The aerial deposition of Comp B particles helps estimate how large of an area is contaminated by a low-order detonation and how best to sample residue resulting from different rounds. We found that the high-order detonations deposited microgram to milligram quantities whereas the low-order detonations deposited gram quantities of Comp B. For the high-order detonations the concentration of Comp B in the residue decreased as a function of distance from the blast. The low-order tests scattered centimeter-sized chunks and millimeter-sized or smaller particles of Comp B. The chunks were randomly scattered whereas the number of millimeter-sized particles decreased with distance from the detonation. For both high- and low-order detonations we found that the smaller munitions deposited less Comp B than the larger munitions and deposited it closer to the detonation point.

These adsorbent materials are also unique because they can undergo direct electrothermal regeneration to recover the adsorbed organic vapors for potential re-use. This investigation compares and contrasts the properties of these adsorbents when using electrothermal–swing adsorption. The adsorption systems consisted of an organic vapor generation system, an electrothermal–swing adsorption vessel, a gas detection unit, and a data acquisition and control system. The activated carbon monolith (ACM) had the lowest pressure drop, highest permeability, highest electrical resistivity and lowest cost as compared to the activated carbon beads (ACB) and the activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC). ACB had the largest throughput ratio and lowest length of unused bed as compared to the other adsorbents. However, ACFC had the largest adsorption capacity for toluene when compared to ACM and ACB. ACFC was also faster to regenerate and had a larger concentration factor than ACM and ACB. These results describe relevant physical, electrical, adsorption and cost properties for specific morphologies of the adsorbents to more effectively capture and recover organic vapors from gas streams.

JO - Ground Water JF - Ground Water Y1 - 2006/11//Nov/Dec2006 VL - 44 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 864 EP - 875 SN - 0017467X AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program and the Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a project to evaluate the benefits and utility of contaminant transport simulation-optimization algorithms against traditional (trial and error) modeling approaches. Three pump-and-treat facilities operated by the DoD were selected for inclusion in the project. Three optimization formulations were developed for each facility and solved independently by three modeling teams (two using simulation-optimization algorithms and one applying trial-and-error methods). The results clearly indicate that simulation-optimization methods are able to search a wider range of well locations and flow rates and identify better solutions than current trial-and-error approaches. The solutions found were 5% to 50% better than those obtained using trial-and-error (measured using optimal objective function values), with an average improvement of ∼20%. This translated into potential savings ranging from $600,000 to $10,000,000 for the three sites. In nearly all cases, the cost savings easily outweighed the costs of the optimization. To reduce computational requirements, in some cases the simulation-optimization groups applied multiple mathematical algorithms, solved a series of modified subproblems, and/or fit “meta-models” such as neural networks or regression models to replace time-consuming simulation models in the optimization algorithm. The optimal solutions did not account for the uncertainties inherent in the modeling process. This project illustrates that transport simulation-optimization techniques are practical for real problems. However, applying the techniques in an efficient manner requires expertise and should involve iterative modification to the formulations based on interim results.

Third-order shear deformation theory based on Sanders nonlinear shell kinematics is chosen for the shell formulation and it is used to study deflection suppression characteristics of laminated composite shells. The smart material used in this study to achieve damping of transverse deflection is a magnetostrictive material, Terfenol-D, with a linear constitutive model. A negative velocity feedback control is used with a constant control gain. Newmark''s time integration scheme and Newton–Raphson iteration method are used to solve the resulting nonlinear equations. A number of parametric studies are carried out to understand the damping characteristics of laminated composite shells with embedded smart material layers.

An integral equation for the tangential electric field in the slot aperture of a perfectly conducting, infinitesimally thin-walled circular cylinder is solved using a basis set of Chebyshev polynomials that are properly weighted according to the static edge condition. The resulting matrix elements from a Galerkin procedure are computed to high precision upon extracting the logarithmic singularity of the kernel of the integral operator. Exact expressions for the matrix elements, in the form of rapidly convergent series of elementary terms, are constructed by isolating another logarithmic function of the aperture width. A minimization of the mean-square error between the true plane-wave response and that due to a near-field line-source establishes the optimal complex source strength of the near-field source.

The design integrates a ferroelectric coplanar waveguide phase shifter with the continuous transverse stub (CTS) array. The phase shifter employs a multi-dielectric substrate and includes a thin layer of silicon dioxide between the signal conductors and the ferroelectric material to reduce the insertion losses and produce good impedance matching. The coplanar waveguide-based multi-dielectric layer design demonstrated an effective ferroelectric biasing architecture and exhibited an increase in figure of merit by up to 8deg/dB from that of the direct metallization approach. An integrated two elements phased array antenna is developed and demonstrates linearly polarized radiation with +/-20deg of beam scanning between the unbiased and biased states of the ferroelectric phase shifter [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] AB - Copyright of IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation is the property of IEEE and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2006/11//Nov2006 Part 1 of 2 VL - 44 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 3103 EP - 3117 SN - 01962892 AB - This paper examines the sensitivity of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) brightness temperatures (Tbs) to surface roughness by a using radiative transfer model to simulate AMSR-E Tbs as a function of incidence angle at which the surface is viewed. The simulated Tbs are then used to examine the influence that surface roughness has on two operational sea ice algorithms, namely: 1) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Team (NT) algorithm and 2) the enhanced NT algorithm, as well as the impact of roughness on the AMSR-E snow depth algorithm. Surface snow and ice data collected during the AMSR-Ice03 field campaign held in March 2003 near Barrow, AK, were used to force the radiative transfer model, and resultant modeled Tbs are compared with airborne passive microwave observations from the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer. Results indicate that passive microwave Tbs are very sensitive even to small variations in incidence angle, which can cause either an over- or underestimation of the true amount of sea ice in the pixel area viewed. For example, this paper showed that if the sea ice areas modeled in this paper were assumed to be completely smooth, sea ice concentrations were underestimated by nearly 14% using the NT sea ice algorithm and by 7% using the enhanced NT algorithm. A comparison of polarization ratios (PRs) at 10.7, 18.7, and 37 GHz indicates that each channel responds to different degrees of surface roughness and suggests that the PR at 10.7 GHz can be useful for identifying locations of heavily ridged or rubbled ice. Using the PR at 10.7 GHz to derive an "effective" viewing angle, which is used as a proxy for surface roughness, resulted in more accurate retrievals of sea ice concentration for both algorithms. The AMSR-E snow depth algorithm was found to be extremely sensitive to instrument calibration and sensor viewing angle, and it is concluded that more work is needed to investigate the sensitivity of the gradient ratio at 37 and 18.7 GHz to these factors to improve snow depth retrievals from spaceborne passive microwave sensors.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2006/11//Nov2006 Part 1 of 2 VL - 44 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 3081 EP - 3090 SN - 01962892 AB - Part of the Earth Observing System Aqua Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) Arctic sea ice validation campaign in March 2003 was dedicated to the validation of snow depth on sea ice and ice temperature products. The difficulty with validating these two variables is that neither can currently be measured other than in situ. For this reason, two aircraft flights on March 13 and 19, 2003, were dedicated to these products, and flight lines were coordinated with in situ measurements of snow and sea ice physical properties. One flight was in the vicinity of Barrow, AK, covering Elson Lagoon and the adjacent Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The other flight was farther north in the Beaufort Sea (about 730 N, 147.5° W) and was coordinated with a Navy ice camp. The results confirm the AMSR-E snow depth algorithm and its coefficients for first-year ice when it is relatively smooth. For rough first-year ice and for multiyear ice, there is still a relationship between the spectral gradient ratio of 19 and 37 GHz, but a different set of algorithm coefficients is necessary. Comparisons using other AMSR-E channels did not provide a clear signature of sea ice characteristics and, hence, could not provide guidance for the choice of algorithm coefficients. The limited comparison of in situ snow-ice interface and surface temperatures with 6-GHz brightness temperatures, which are used for the retrieval of ice temperature, shows that the 6-GHz temperature is correlated with the snow-ice interface temperature to only a limited extent. For strong temperature gradients within the snow layer, it is clear that the 6-GHz temperature is a weighted average of the entire snow layer.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2006/11//Nov2006 Part 1 of 2 VL - 44 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 3038 EP - 3056 SN - 01962892 AB - The objective of this paper is to characterize spatial properties of snow-depth structures and their role as indicators of sea-ice properties and sea-ice-morpho genetic processes, and to provide quantitative measures of sea-ice properties that may be utilized in analyses of passive-microwave data. Snow-depth data collected near Point Barrow, Alaska, as part of the AMSR-Ice03 Field Validation Campaign for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR)-E-Sea-Ice Products from the NASA Earth Observing System Aqua satellite, are analyzed and compared to P-3 Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) data, a proxy for AMSR-E brightness temperatures. The approach taken in the analysis is geostatistical characterization. Vario functions of first and second order are calculated for the snow-depth profiles, then geostatistical classification parameters are extracted and combined into feature vectors, on which the characterization is based. The complexity of sea ice requires a generalization of the method by introduction of the hyperparameter concept. Results include a quantitative characterization of sea-ice provinces from field transects in the Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Elson La- goon, which represent a good subset of Arctic sea-ice types, an internal segmentation of the longer profiles, and a derivation of surface-roughness length and of sea-ice-type complexity. PSR data reflect complexity of spatial snow-depth structures as captured in multidimensional feature vectors and, less directly, snow-depth and surface-roughness length. These results indicate that passive-microwave data in general may be affected by spatial snow depth and surface roughness, with a dependence on scale and quantified by geostatistical classification.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2006/11//Nov2006 Part 1 of 2 VL - 44 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 3021 EP - 3031 SN - 01962892 AB - Aircraft-acquired passive microwave data, laser radar height observations, RADARSAT synthetic aperture radar imagery, and in situ measurements obtained during the AMSR-Ice03 experiment are used to investigate relationships between microwave emission and ice characteristics over several space scales. The data fusion allows delineation of the shore-fast ice and pack ice in the Barrow area, AK, into several ice classes. Results show good agreement between observed and Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR)-derived snow depths over relatively smooth ice, with larger differences over ridged and rubbled ice. The PSR results are consistent with the effects on snow depth of the spatial distribution and nature of ice roughness, ridging, and other factors such as ice age. Apparent relationships exist between ice roughness and the degree of depolarization of emission at 10, 19, and 37 GHz. This depolarization would yield overestimates of total ice concentration using polarization-based algorithms, with indications of this seen when the NT-2 algorithm is applied to the PSR data. Other characteristics of the microwave data, such as effects of grounding of sea ice and large contrast between sea ice and adjacent land, are also apparent in the PSR data. Overall, the results further demonstrate the importance of macroscale ice roughness conditions such as ridging and rubbling on snow depth and microwave emissivity.

The goal of this campaign was to produce an extensive dataset of sea ice thickness and snow properties (depth and stratigraphy) against which remote sensing products collected by aircraft and satellite could be compared. Chief among these were products from the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) flown aboard a NASA P-3B aircraft and the Aqua Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). The data were collected in four field areas: three on the coastal sea ice near Barrow, AK, and the fourth out on the open ice pack 175 km northeast of Barrow. The snow depth ranged from 9.4-20.8 cm in coastal areas (n = 9881 for three areas) with the thinnest snow on ice that had formed late in the winter. Out in the main pack ice, the snow was 20.6 cm deep (n = 1906). The ice in all four areas ranged from 138-219 cm thick (n = 1952), with the lower value again where the ice had formed late in the winter. Snow layer and grain characteristics observed in 118 snow pits indicated that 44% of observed snow layers were depth hoar; 46% were wind slab. Snow and ice measurements were keyed to photomosaics produced from low-altitude vertical aerial photographs. Using these, and a distinctive three-way relationship between ice roughness, snow surface characteristics, and snow depth, strip maps of snow depth, each about 2 km wide, were produced bracketing the traverse lines. These maps contain an unprecedented level of snow depth detail against which to compare remote sensing products. The maps are used in other papers in this special issue to examine the retrieval of snow properties from the PSR and AMSR-E sensors.

This campaign is part of the program to validate the Aqua Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) sea ice products. Standard AMSR-E sea ice products include sea ice concentration, sea ice temperature, and snow depth on sea ice. The validation program consists of three elements, namely: 1) satellite data comparisons; 2) coordinated satellite/aircraft/surface measurements; and 3) modeling and sensitivity analyses. Landsat-7 and RADARSAT observations were used in comparative studies with the retrieved AMSR-E sea ice concentrations. The aircraft sensors provided high-resolution microwave imagery of the surface, atmospheric profiles of temperature and humidity, and digital records of sea ice conditions. When combined with in situ measurements, aircraft data were used to validate the AMSR-E sea ice temperature and snow-depth products. The modeling studies helped interpret the field-data comparisons, provided insight on the limitations of the AMSR-E sea ice algorithms, and suggested potential improvements to the AMSR-E retrieval algorithms.

JO - Condor JF - Condor Y1 - 2006/11// VL - 108 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 770 EP - 777 SN - 00105422 AB - The endemic Hawaiian avifauna is one of the most imperiled on earth, and diseases have been one of the most serious causes of species declines. From 1995–2005, we mist-netted and banded 266 endangered O'ahu 'Elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis ibidis) from 27 sites, examined them for visible symptoms of avian pox virus (Poxvirus avium), and screened blood samples for avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum). Pox-like lesions and malaria were found in all 'Elepaio populations on O'ahu; no parts of the island were free of these mosquito-borne diseases. Each year, 20% ± 4% of 'Elepaio had active lesions likely caused by pox and an additional 16% ± 4% had deformities and missing toes indicative of healed pox lesions. Prevalence of malaria was 87% over all years combined. Pox prevalence varied among years and was associated with annual rainfall, presumably due to greater abundance of mosquito breeding sites in wet years. Rainfall amounts at least as high as those associated with pox epizootics in 1996 and 2004 have occurred in 13 years since 1947, or once every 4.5 years. Severity of infection varied considerably among birds, and infections involving three or more toes, the feet, or the head were less common in birds with healed lesions than those with active lesions, suggesting such infections resulted in mortality more often. Disease resistance may be evolving in some areas, but 'Elepaio populations on O'ahu are likely to further decline.

Los individuos capturados fueron examinados para determinar sintomas visibles de viruela aviar (Poxvirus avium) y colectamos muestras de sangre para determinar la presencia de malaria aviar (Plasmodium relictum). Encontramos lesiones de tipo viruela y malaria en todas las poblaciones de C. s. ibidis en O'ahu; ninguna parte de la isla se encontró libre de enfermedades transmitidas por mosquitos. Cada año, el 20% ± 4% de los individuos presentó lesiones activas probablemente causadas por el virus de la viruela aviary un 16% ± 4% adicional de los individuos presentó deformidades y falta de dedos indicando la presencia de lesiones de viruela que habian sido curadas. La prevalencia de la malaria fue del 87% para todos los años juntos. La prevalencia de la viruela varió entre años y se asoció con la cantidad de precipitación anual, 1o que probablemente se debe a la mayor abundancia de sitios de reproducción de mosquitos en años con más lluvia. Niveles de precipitación iguales o mayores a los asociados a la epizootia de viruela en 1996 y 2004 han ocurrido en 13 años desde 1947, o una vez cada 4.5 años. La severidad de la infección varió considerablemente entre aves, y las infecciones que involucran tres o más dedos, las patas o la cabeza fueron mënos comunes en aves con lesiones curadas que en aquellas con lesiones activas. Esto sugiere que ese tipo de lesiones causaron mortalidad con mayor frecuencia. La resistencia a la enfermedad puede estar evolucionando en aves de algunas áreas, pero las poblaciones de C. s. ibidis en O'ahu probablemente seguirán disminuyendo.

Löve and L. triticoides (Buckley) Pilg. are tall caespitose and short rhizomatous perennial Triticeae grasses, respectively. Circumference of rhizome spreading, proportion of bolting culms, anthesis dale, and plant height were evaluated in two mapping families derived from two interspecific hybrids of L. cinereus Acc:636 and L. triticoides Acc:641 accessions, backcrossed to one L. triticoides tester. Two circumference, two bolting, and two height QTLs were homologous between families. Two circumference, seven boiling, all five anthesis dale, and five height QTLs were family specific. Thus, substantial QTL variation was apparent within and between natural source populations of these species. Two of the four circumference QTLs were detected in homoeologous regions of linkage groups 3a and 3b in both families, indicating that one gene may control much of the dramatic difference in growth habit between these species. A major height QTL detected in both families may correspond with dwarfing mutations on barley 2H and wheat 2A. The L. cinereus parent contributed negative alleles for all four circumference QTLs, five of nine bolting QTLs, two of five anthesis date QTLs, and one of seven height QTLs. Coupling of synergistic QTL allele effects within parental species was consistent with the divergent growth habit and plant height of L. cinereus and L. triticoides. Conversely, antagonistic QTL alleles evidently caused transgressive segregation in reproductive bolting and flowering time.

JO - Crop Science JF - Crop Science Y1 - 2006/11//Nov/Dec2006 VL - 46 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2503 EP - 2508 SN - 0011183X AB - Western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii [Rydb.] A. Löve) has low seed production and poor germination and seedling vigor, limiting its use when quick establishment is needed to stabilize degraded range-lands. This study examined differences among germplasm sources and seed production environments on western wheatgrass seed traits. Seed was harvested from 10 western wheatgrass populations grown in three environments. Seed yield, seed weight, seedling germination, and seedling vigor were then determined. Seedling vigor was measured by greenhouse evaluation of seedling emergence percentage and rate from a planting depth of 6.35 cm. There were significant population X environment interactions for seed yield and seed weight. However, high Spearman's rank correlations between environments within each trait (r = 0.64 to 0.85, P = 0.048 to 0.002) suggested that environment had only a moderate effect on ranking of populations. Mean seed yield and 100-seed weight varied significantly among populations, ranging from 2.6 to 25.4 g plant-1 and 0.43 to 0.54 g, respectively. Seed germination was high, ranging from 78.4 to 94.4%; however, population performance was not consistent across environments. Environment had no effect on seedling emergence rate, whereas emergence among populations ranged from 2.4 to 4.2 seedlings d-1. Germination rate and seed weight were both correlated with seedling emergence rate (r = 0.57, P = 0.001 and r = 0.49, P = 0.01, respectively). These results indicated that seed production environment had little effect on western wheatgrass seed yield or seedling vigor and that it may be possible to breed for improvement in these traits by selecting among and within western wheatgrass populations.

Research assesses the potential of B. pseudomallei as bioterrorism agent and biological warfare, since it causes melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by bacterium B. pseudomallei in humans. Since B. pseudomallei triggers the development of melioidosis, the environmental biology of B. pseudomallei should be improved in order to prevent and control the disease. Individuals are advised to use personal protective equipment to avoid exposure from the disease. The research assessed that through metabolic adaptation and internalization within eukaryotic systems, one can have environmental advantages to B. pseudomallei.

The MCC-charging consists of two CC steps, which starts with a low current to charge the initial 10% capacity followed by a high current charging until the cell voltage reaches 4.2V. Using these methods, respectively, the cell was charged to 4.2V followed by a constant voltage (CV) charging until the current declined to 0.05C. Results showed that the cycle life of the cell strongly depended on the charging protocol even if the same charging rate was used. Among these three methods, the CC-method was found to be more suitable for slow charging (0.5C) while the CP-method was better for fast charging (1C). Impedance analyses indicated that the capacity loss during cycling was mainly attributed to the increase of charge-transfer resistance as a result of the progressive growth of surface layers on the surface of two electrodes. Fast charging resulted in an accelerated capacity fading due to the loss of Li+ ions and the related growth of a surface layer, which was associated with metallic lithium plating onto the anode and a high polarization at the electrolyte–electrode interface. Analyses of the cell electrochemistry showed that use of a reduced current to charge the initial 10% capacity and near the end of charge, respectively, was favorable for long cycle life.

The results obtained from the single cell were used to model the DMFC system. Several semi-empirical equations were derived that relate discharge current, voltage, power output, energy density and fuel consumption for a nominal 25W DMFC system. The decrease in fuel efficiency with decreased power output that is observed for the DMFC system is attributable to the increase of methanol crossover that can be observed for an individual cell. A DMFC system can achieve maximum energy density and fuel efficiency at an appropriately high level of power output.

The adsorption mechanism of Sarin and Soman on these mineral fragments containing the Si4and Al3central cations was investigated. The calculations were performed using the B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory in conjunction with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The studied systems were fully optimized. Optimized geometries, adsorption energies, and Gibbs free energies of Sarin and Soman adsorption complexes were computed. The number and strength of formed intermolecular interactions have been analyzed using the AIM theory. The charge of the systems and a termination of the mineral fragment are the main contributing factors on the formation of intermolecular interactions in the studied systems. In the neutral complexes, Sarin and Soman is physisorbed on these mineral fragments due to the formation of C−H···O, and O−H···O hydrogen bonds. The chemical bond is formed between a phosphorus atom of Sarin and Soman and an oxygen atom of the −2 charged clusters containing an Al3central cation and −1 charged complex containing a Si4central cation (chemisorption). Sarin and Soman interact mostly in the same way with the same terminated edge mineral fragments containing different central cations. However, the interaction energies of the complexes with an Al3central cation are larger than these values for the Si4complexes. The interaction enthalpies of all studied systems corrected for the basis set superposition error were found to be negative. However, on the basis of the Gibbs free energy values, only strongly interacting complexes containing a charged edge mineral fragment with an Al3central cation are stable at room temperature. We can conclude that Sarin and Soman will be adsorbed preferably on this type of edge mineral surfaces. Moreover, on the basis of the character of these edge surfaces, a tetrahedral edge mineral fragment can provide effective centers for the dissociation.

Multi-stage sampling with clustering was used to select 168 child care centers in 30 primary sampling units in the United States. Centers were recruited into the study by telephone interviewers. Samples for pesticides, lead, and allergens were collected at multiple locations in each center by field technicians. Field sampling was conducted from July through October 2001. Wipe samples from indoor surfaces (floors, tabletops, desks) and soil samples were collected at the centers and analyzed using a multi-residue GC/MS analysis method. Based on the questionnaire responses, pyrethroids were the most commonly used pesticides among centers applying pesticides. Among the 63% of centers reporting pesticide applications, the number of pesticides used in each center ranged from 1 to 10 and the frequency of use ranged from 1 to 107 times annually. Numerous organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides were detected in the indoor floor wipe samples. Chlorpyrifos (0.004–28 ng/cm²), diazinon (0.002–18 ng/cm²), cis-permethrin (0.004–3 ng/cm²), and trans-permethrin (0.004–7 ng/cm²) were detected in >67% of the centers. Associations exist between residues measured on the floor and other surfaces for several pesticides (p-values range from <0.0001 to 0.002), but to a lesser degree between floor and soil and other surfaces and soil. Regional analyses indicate no differences in mean level of pesticide loading between the four Census regions (0.08 < p < 0.88). Results show that there is the potential for exposure to pesticides in child care centers.

JO - Ferroelectrics JF - Ferroelectrics Y1 - 2006/10/15/ VL - 342 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 129 EP - 140 SN - 00150193 AB - Tunable ferroelectric ceramic capacitors have shown great promise in reducing the size, weight, and power (SWAP) of traditional varactor-based devices. Ferroelectric devices fabricated from Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) have been demonstrated in the laboratory and are just now becoming available for commercial narrowband applications. This paper presents some of the tradeoffs in designing a small form factor (SFF), easily manufacturable, broadband tunable filter utilizing high volume, low-cost BST devices. Development status for filters that cover the 225 MHz to 2.7 GHz frequency range with superior narrowband performance, low in-band insertion loss, and high out-of-band rejection that is directly applicable to the stringent requirements of Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Cluster 5 Software Defined Radio (SDR) is also presented. These Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) 4 filters currently provide a 50% reduction in size over traditional approaches, and future short-term plans promise further reductions in unit production cost (UPC) and SWAP.

JO - Ferroelectrics JF - Ferroelectrics Y1 - 2006/10/15/ VL - 342 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 163 EP - 182 SN - 00150193 AB - The development of compact sensor and agile communications equipment together with electronically steerable antenna arrays for high mobility, on-the-move networking can be enhanced by use of nanoscale active thin film resonators, high stability frequency sources, integrated on-chip filters and complementary radiating structures supported by agile frequency selective surfaces. For mobile uses such as cell phones and highly mobile tactical communications, size and cost are severe additional constraints. Such systems also require miniaturized, high-Q passive components and interconnects which allow for high performance, including low noise, reduced coupling and reduced out-of-band interference, small volume and high-density. Active thin films can also be used to implement high quality resonators and tunable filters for use in high-density chip-based RFICs. Advanced filter technology using active thin films will enable a high level of integration. Such components would enable a system-on-a-chip architecture. Use of metamaterial frequency selective surfaces formed by fractal-space-filling-curve inclusions, together with non-linear thin-film elements or photonically-activated thin-film elements at a certain point(s) of each inclusion can be used to realize surface characteristics that can be potentially changed by an external field or an external optical signal. Finally, dense networks of carbon nanotube resonators offer the possibility of realizing CMOS-compatible reconfigurable systems and architectures.

Successful implementation of these sensor fields requires a communications network infrastructure to disseminate sensor data and provide relevant and accurate situational awareness information to the tactical common operating picture. Networked Sensors for the Future Force (NSFF) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) Communications is realizing this capability with advanced communications technologies developed under the Soldier Level Integrated Communications Environment (SLICE) Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) project. These technologies include robust, self-organizing/healing networking protocols, energy management techniques, and secure, jam resistant radio equipment for a significantly enhanced communications capability that will transition to the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). CERDEC laboratory and field demonstrations in 2004 will be reviewed to show early SRW development in preparation for the NSFF ATD as well as development of affordable systems for disposable sensor applications.

On the other hand, unnecessary removal from service for inspection and maintenance reduces readiness. Structural health monitoring systems that include an array of sensors and/or actuators are needed to reduce risk and increase readiness. Typically sensors and actuators are piezo-based and too large to be embedded in the structure or if embedded can affect strength. Thin film sensors and actuators are significantly thinner; therefore reducing the potential for affecting the strength of the composite structure. Development of these sensors will be critical to future Army readiness.

JO - Ferroelectrics JF - Ferroelectrics Y1 - 2006/10/15/ VL - 342 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 205 EP - 211 SN - 00150193 AB - Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) are critical to the Maneuver Battalion Commander's success on future, rapidly deployed, battlefields. These PGMs will provide an increase in lethality, significantly improve survivability, reduce collateral damage, minimize non-combatant casualties, and decrease the logistics burden or increase the number of kills from the standard logistics load. PGMs all require inertial measurement sensors embodied in an Inertial Measurements Unit (IMU). Up to now they have been large, expensive, and could not readily survive the high G launch environments. Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology provides inherent cost savings and size reduction and is ideal for application to navigation and control systems for small missiles and munitions. Using MEMS technology, gyroscopes, accelerometers and control electronics can readily be integrated to form a tightly packaged, low-cost, extremely small, high performance IMU suitable for munitions and missiles, as well as other applications. The ultimate objective of the MEMS Common Guidance program is to develop technology that can be exploited by 90% of the tactical weapons fleet navigation requirements. This paper will describe the current Army development underway and some of the technical challenges we have encountered, as well as outlining the results of our Quality Functional Deployment conducted to assure our end-users needs are met.

On the opposite side of the coin are the military SIGINT (SIGnal INTelligence) systems which attempt to detect, copy, jam and geolocate signals emitted by radios, RADARs, etc. as a means of providing the commander with a reasonable visualization of the Battlefield and with an EOB (Electronic Order of Battle). Military SIGINT platforms are taxed to the limit of modern technology in trying to cover the spectrum from HF to Ka band, sometimes over an enormous dynamic range. This paper will attempt to present a general overview of current and future Army SIGINT systems along with the role thin films (such as ferrites, ferroelectrics, magnetostatic films, metamaterials, etc) can play in devices such as filters, phase shifters, limiters, smart antennas, etc. for extending their usefulness into the 21st century.

Electronic scanning antennas (ESA's) are the key components for such advanced communication systems. ESA's provide rapid scanning capability, which enables modes such as multiple target tracking, track while scan, and sensor fusion operation. One of the major challenges, which must be overcome before such advanced ESA systems can be realized, is the development of affordable, low loss, high tunability, low power, lightweight, and high performance microwave frequency phase shifters. The enabling technology for such phase shifters is centered on the development of single-phase nanometer-scale constituent perovskite oxide thin films with enhanced dielectric, insulating, and microstructural properties. The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has successfully designed, fabricated, characterized, and optimized, novel pure and acceptor doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) based thin films on MgO substrates with excellent microwave material properties. Pure and 1-mol% Mg doped BST thin films were fabricated by the metalorganic solution deposition (MOSD) technique and the film's dielectric properties were characterized at microwave frequency via a tuned coupled-split dielectric resonator technique developed at NIST. Using this measurement technique, for first time ever, has allowed the true “singular” dielectric loss (tan δ) and permittivity (εr) of the BST-based films to be assessed and optimized without the influence of device design (radiative losses) and electrode metallization (conductor losses).

One program included manual physical therapy, body weight supported treadmill walking, and exercise (Manual Physical Therapy, Exercise, and Walking Group), while the other included lumbar flexion exercises, a treadmill walking program, and subtherapeutic ultrasound (Flexion Exercise and Walking Group). Perceived recovery was assessed with a global rating of change scale. Secondary outcomes included: Oswestry, a numerical pain rating scale, a measure of satisfaction, and a treadmill test. Testing occurred at baseline, 6 weeks, and 1 year. Perceived recovery, pain, and other healthcare resources used were collected with a long-term follow-up questionnaire.RESULTS.: A greater proportion of patients in the manual physical therapy, exercise, and walking group reported recovery at 6 weeks compared with the flexion exercise and walking group (P = 0.0015), with a number needed to treat for perceived recovery of 2.6 (confidence interval, 1.8–7.8). At 1 year, 62% and 41% of the manual therapy, exercise, and walking group and the flexion exercise and walking group, respectively, still met the threshold for recovery. Improvements in disability, satisfaction, and treadmill walking tests favored the manual physical therapy, exercise, and walking group at all follow-up points.CONCLUSIONS.: Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis can benefit from physical therapy. Additional gains may be realized with the inclusion of manual physical therapy interventions, exercise, and a progressive body-weight supported treadmill walking program.

JO - Journal of Organic Chemistry JF - Journal of Organic Chemistry Y1 - 2006/10/13/ VL - 71 IS - 21 M3 - Article SP - 8089 EP - 8097 SN - 00223263 AB - Unlike the synthetically exploited oxiranes and thiiranes, aziridines that lack electron-withdrawing substituents, such as acyl or sulfonyl functionalities at nitrogen, are rather unreactive. As expected, three-membered aziridine 6 was calculated to be significantly more reactive than azetidine 7 in nucleophilic cleavage by ammonia, a typical nucleophile. The reactivity of 7 was about the same as that of an acyclic model compound, 8, when release of ring strain in the transition state was taken into account. Fluorine due to its similar size but vastly different electronegativity has been substituted for hydrogen as a means of modifying chemical properties for varied applications. In the present investigation, the effect of fluorine substitution at aziridine positions other than nitrogen was studied. Computations at the MP2(Full)/6-311 ++G(d,p)//MP2(Full)/6-31+G(d) level found a vast preference for attack by ammonia at the 3-position of 2-fluoroaziridine in the gas phase at 298 K. When release of ring strain was taken into account, this compound reacted more than 1011 times faster than 6. The reaction rate with trans-2,3-difluoroaziridine was about twice that of 2-fluoroaziridine, while its diastereomer reacted with ammonia considerably slower. Acyclic fluorinated amine model compounds were employed to assess the generality of the effects produced by fluorine substitution. The results were rationalized by the energy contributions of strain energy releases, stabilization of the leaving group, and the relative electrostatic energies of the heterocycles in the transition states. The more reactive fluoroaziridines underwent nucleophilic attack at rates comparable to those of N-acetylaziridine.

(15(VIK) refers to the nitro group in p-nitrophenyl sulfate). The kinetic isotope effects indicate substantial S-O bond fission in the transition state, with partial charge neutralization of the leaving group. The small kinetic isotope effect in the nonbridging sulfuryl oxygen atoms suggests no significant change in bond orders of these atoms occurs, consistent with modest nucleophilic involvement. A comparison of the data for enzymatic and uncatalyzed sulfuryl transfer reactions suggests that both proceed through very similar transition states.

At 20°C, these cells deliver 8.7–6.8Wh of energy when discharged at a power range of 1–12W between 2.5 and 4.2V. Ragone plots show that the effect of discharge power on the energy is significantly increased with decreasing of the temperature. For example, energy of the cell is entirely lost when the temperature downs to −10°C and the discharge rate still remains at 10W. Impedance analyses indicate that the total cell resistance (R cell) is mainly contributed by the bulk resistance (R b, including electric contact resistance and electrolytic ionic conductivity), solid electrolyte interface resistance (R sei), and charge-transfer resistance (R ct). Individual contribution of these three resistances to the cell resistance is greatly varied with the temperature. Near room temperature, the R b occupies up to half of the cell resistance, which means that the rate performance of the cell could be improved by modifying cell design such as employing electrolyte with higher ionic conductivity and enhancing electric contact of the active material particles. At low temperature, the R ct, which is believed to reflect cell reaction kinetics, dominates the cell resistance. In addition, galvanosatic cycling tests indicate that the charge and discharge processes have nearly same kinetics. The performance discrepancy observed during charging and discharging, especially at low temperatures, can be attributed to these two factors of: (1) substantially higher R ct at the discharged state than at the charged state; (2) asymmetric voltage limits pre-determined for the charge and discharge processes.

The cell was connected to three independent testing channels, of which two channels shared the same lithium reference to measure the potentials of anode and cathode, respectively. A graphite/LiCoO2 cell with a C/A ratio, i.e., the reversible capacity ratio of the cathode to anode, of 0.985 was assembled and cycled using a normal constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charging procedure, during which the potentials of the anode and cathode were recorded. The results showed that lithium plating occurred under most of the charging conditions, especially at high currents and at low temperatures. Even in the region of CC charging, the potential of the graphite might drop below 0V versus Li+/Li. As a result, lithium plating and re-intercalating of the plated lithium into the graphite coexist, which resulted in a low charging capacity. When the current exceeded a certain level (0.4C in the present case), increasing the current could not shorten the charging time significantly, instead it aggravated lithium plating and prolonged the CV charging time. In addition, we found that lowering the battery temperature significantly aggravated lithium plating. At −20°C, for example, the CC charging became impossible and lithium plating accompanied the entire charging process. For an improved charging performance, an optimized C/A ratio of 0.85–0.90 is proposed for the graphite/LiCoO2 Li-ion cell. A high C/A ratio results in lithium plating onto the anode, while a low ratio results in overcharge of the cathode.

New and emerging imagery is now available at significantly higher spatial resolutions, resulting in pixel sizes equal to or smaller than many dominant desert shrubs. This had led to an opposing problem, where desert shrubs now exhibit multi-modal probability functions associated with the individual elements of the plant, such as foliage, woody stems and branches, and shadows within and around shrub canopies. High resolution imagery was collected at three spatial resolutions for study sites in the south-central Mojave Desert of California to (1) determine the effect of spatial resolution on the detection of four common species of shrubs (Chilopsis linearis, Psorothamnus spinosus, Larrea tridentata, and Ambrosia dumosa), (2) assess the affect of increasing pixel size on the accuracy of area estimates of shrub cover, and (3) assess the accuracy of vegetation cover measurements when compared to vegetation cover measured in the field. Spatial resolution greater than 1.0m was not capable of discerning a large percentage of the shrubs in this region of the Mojave Desert. Yet, high correlation () was found between field measurements of percent cover and those derived from imagery at spatial resolutions ranging from 0.6 to 1.0m. The results indicated that a spatial resolution of 1.0m or smaller was necessary to estimate percent cover and the area of individual shrubs from high-resolution imagery. Spatial resolution is dependent on the abundance and size of species of desert shrubs within plant communities, however 1.0m resolution was found to be adequate for this region of the Mojave Desert.

A survey was administered in January and February 2003 to determine if military affiliation is associated with attitudes toward sending troops into Afghanistan after the war started and Iraq before sending troops. Majorities of all students supported both war efforts, though United States Military Academy at West Point and ROTC cadets are somewhat more supportive of both wars compared to civilian students. However, most differences are explained by students' gender and political affiliation, suggesting that differences between groups result from selection effects rather than cultural differences. The authors contend a fourth wave in civil-military affairs potentially has emerged in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 through a civil-military attitude fusion complicated by a gender-politics gap.

We then documented the mobility of the robot for 10 cases of deep snow and four cases of shallow snow. The scaled predictions agreed well with average sinkage, resistance and traction measured in deep snow and thus gave useful design guidance. Nevertheless, large differences occurred between measured and predicted snow-compaction resistance on individual test days. The behavior of actual snow packs is difficult to capture using simple Bekker theory. Most deep-snow packs showed a linear relationship between pressure and sinkage for small indentation, followed by a steep rise in pressure as indentation compacted the snow against the ground. Also, small strength variations due to icy layers were important. SnoBot traveled easily over ice crusts that were much too weak to support foot travel. The results indicate that a lightweight tracked robot can display excellent deep-snow mobility when ground clearance, motor torque and energy storage allow for proportionally high sinkage and motion resistance compared with larger vehicles.

Although bone conduction devices possess several advantages over headphones for some military applications, they are generally considered inappropriate for inclusion in a multi-channel system. The current study tested the feasibility of a multi-channel bone conduction system by measuring the localizability of spatialized auditory stimuli presented through a pair of bone conduction vibrators. Listeners localized a Gaussian noise stimulus spatialized with individualized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The sounds were presented from eight virtual locations on the horizontal plane (0, ±45, ±90, ±135, and 180°) through either stereo headphones or a stereo bone conduction system. Localization performance was found to be nearly identical for both audio systems, indicating that bone conduction systems can be effectively used for displaying spatial information.

Men were selected from either a regional public university ( n = 147) or a military academy ( n = 283) to represent broad general background experiences. Overall, similarities in the five types of scripts elicited were evident, which are reflective of the cultural components that underlie men’s expectations of what occurs in these situations. The influence of background experiences was noted in differences in both the frequency with which scripts were reported as well as the individual content of each script. Modeling analyses uncovered the latent structure for these differences. Suggestions for possible explanations for these differences, such as the role of traditional gender role attitudes, are discussed.

Initial studies used 2D FE models to calculate interlaminar stresses at the ply-ending locations in linear tapered laminates under tension loading. Strain energy release rates for delamination in these laminates indicated that delamination would likely start at the juncture of the tapered and thin regions and grow unstably in both directions. Tests of glass/epoxy and graphite/epoxy linear tapered laminates under axial tension delaminated as predicted. Nonlinear tapered specimens were cut from a full-size helicopter rotor hub and were tested under combined constant axial tension and cyclic transverse bending loading to simulate the loading experienced by a rotor hub flexbeam in flight. For all the tested specimens, delamination began at the tip of the outermost dropped-ply group and grew first toward the tapered region. A 2D FE model was created that duplicated the test flexbeam layup, geometry, and loading. Surface strains calculated by the model agreed very closely with the measured surface strains in the specimens. The delamination patterns observed in the tests were simulated in the model by releasing pairs of multi-point constraints (MPCs) along those interfaces. Strain energy release rates associated with the delamination growth were calculated for several configurations and using two different FE analysis codes. Calculations from the codes agreed very closely. The strain energy release rate results were used with material characterization data to predict fatigue delamination onset lives for nonlinear tapered flexbeams with two different ply-dropping schemes. The predicted curves agreed well with the test data for each case studied.

Regardless of the sign convention introduced, thermodynamics texts subsequently abandon their established conventions in favor of magnitudes or absolute values. This article illustrates the importance of consistent use of a sign convention throughout a text and applies it to power-producing and power-consuming engineering devices. Additionally, using a selected sign convention, a substantive proof is presented showing why the ratio of energy added/rejected in the form of heat equals the ratio of the absolute temperatures of the energy source/sink, respectively.

The volume of the energy-carrying ferromagnetic elements in the shockwave ferromagnetic generators (FMGs) was &75 cm³. The power-conditioning stage was based on the spiral vector inversion generator (VIG). The combined FMG-VIG system demonstrated successful operation and good performance. The output-voltage pulse amplitude of the combined FMG-VIG system exceeded 40 kV, with a rise time of 6.2 ns. The methodology was developed for digital simulation of the operation of completely explosive FMG-VIG system. Experimental results obtained are in a good agreement with the results of digital calculations performed.

Organophosphorus hydrolase was covalently immobilized onto a quartz substrate for utilization in paraoxon detection. The substrate was cleaned and modified prior to chemical attachment. Each modification step was monitored by imaging ellipsometry as the thickness increased with each modification step. The chemically attached OPH was labeled with a fluorescent dye (7-isothiocyanato-4-methylcoumarin) for the detection of paraoxon in aqueous solution, ranging from 10-9 to 10-5 M. UV-visible spectra were also acquired for the determination of the hydrolysis product of paraoxon, namely p-nitrophenol.

Principal component analysis (PCA) with preprocessing by both piecewise retention time alignment and analysis of variance (ANOVA) feature selection is applied to all mass channels collected. The methodology involves concatenating all concurrently measured individual m/z chromatograms from m/z 20 to 120 for each GC–MS separation into a row vector. All of the sample row vectors are incorporated into a matrix where each row is a sample vector. This matrix is piecewise aligned and reduced by ANOVA feature selection. Application of the preprocessing steps (retention time alignment and feature selection) to all mass channels collected during the chromatographic separation allows considerably more selective chemical information to be incorporated in the PCA classification, and is the primary novelty of the report. This methodology is objective and requires no knowledge of the specific analytes of interest, as in selective ion monitoring (SIM), and does not restrict the mass spectral data used, as in both SIM and total ion current (TIC) methods. Significantly, the methodology allows for the classification of data with low resolution in the chromatographic dimension because of the added selectivity from the complete mass spectral dimension. This allows for the successful classification of data over significantly decreased chromatographic separation times, since high-speed separations can be employed. The methodology is demonstrated through the analysis of a set of four differing gasoline samples that serve as model complex samples. For comparison, the gasoline samples are analyzed by GC–MS over both 10-min and 10-s separation times. The successfully classified 10-min GC–MS TIC data served as the benchmark analysis to compare to the 10-s data. When only alignment and feature selection was applied to the 10-s gasoline separations using GC–MS TIC data, PCA failed. PCA was successful for 10-s gasoline separations when the methodology was applied with all the m/z information. With ANOVA feature selection, chromatographic regions with Fisher ratios greater than 1500 were retained in a new matrix and subjected to PCA yielding successful classification for the 10-s separations.

This can seriously degrade its utility in the calibration of watershed models where local optima abound. Nevertheless, the method also has advantages, chief among these being its model-run efficiency, and its ability to report useful information on parameter sensitivities and covariances as a by-product of its use. It is also easily adapted to maintain this efficiency in the face of potential numerical problems (that adversely affect all parameter estimation methodologies) caused by parameter insensitivity and/or parameter correlation. The present paper presents two algorithmic enhancements to the GML method that retain its strengths, but which overcome its weaknesses in the face of local optima. Using the first of these methods an “intelligent search” for better parameter sets is conducted in parameter subspaces of decreasing dimensionality when progress of the parameter estimation process is slowed either by numerical instability incurred through problem ill-posedness, or when a local objective function minimum is encountered. The second methodology minimizes the chance of successive GML parameter estimation runs finding the same objective function minimum by starting successive runs at points that are maximally removed from previous parameter trajectories. As well as enhancing the ability of a GML-based method to find the global objective function minimum, the latter technique can also be used to find the locations of many non-global optima (should they exist) in parameter space. This can provide a useful means of inquiring into the well-posedness of a parameter estimation problem, and for detecting the presence of bimodal parameter and predictive probability distributions. The new methodologies are demonstrated by calibrating a Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model against a time series of daily flows. Comparison with the SCE-UA method in this calibration context demonstrates a high level of comparative model run efficiency for the new method.

At high rate, room temperature and at low rate and low temperature (0, −10, −20 and −30°C), the 350nm Li4Ti5O12 showed higher capacity than the 700nm Li4Ti5O12. This difference is proposed to result from the shorter diffusion lengths and higher number of lithium insertion sites in the 350nm Li4Ti5O12 compared to the 700nm Li4Ti5O12. However, at high rate and low temperature, a transition in performance was observed, that is, the 700nm material had higher capacity. At high rate and low temperature, it is proposed that interparticle contact resistance becomes rate limiting owing to the temperature dependence of this property and this accounts for the different behavior at low temperature and high rate.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2006/09/19/ VL - 103 IS - 38 M3 - Article SP - 14234 EP - 14239 SN - 00278424 AB - Dengue virus, the causative agent of dengue fever and its more serious manifestation dengue hemorrhagic fever, is widespread throughout tropical and subtropical regions. The virus exists as four distinct serotypes, all of which have cocirculated in Bangkok for several decades with epidemic outbreaks occurring every 8–10 years. We analyze time-series data of monthly infection incidence, revealing a distinctive pattern with epidemics of serotypes 1, 2, and 3 occurring at approximately the same time and an isolated epidemic of serotype 4 occurring in the intervening years. Phylogenetic analysis of virus samples collected over the same period shows that clade replacement events are linked to the epidemic cycle and indicates that there is an interserotypic immune reaction. Using an epidemic model with stochastic seasonal forcing showing 8- to 10-year epidemic oscillations, we demonstrate that moderate cross-protective immunity gives rise to persistent out-of-phase oscillations similar to those observed in the data, but that strong or weak cross-protection or cross-enhancement only produces in-phase patterns. This behavior suggests that the epidemic pattern observed in Bangkok is the result of cross-protective immunity and may be significantly altered by changes in the interserotypic immune reaction.

In comparison with the ionic conductivity of a single salt electrolyte, LiBF4 electrolyte has a higher conductivity below −10°C while the LiBOB electrolyte is higher above −10°C. For cell performance, LiBF4 cell has a better low temperature performance and a higher power capability, but it cannot survive above 60°C. In contrast, the LiBOB cell performs very well at high temperature even up to 90°C, but it fails to perform below −40°C. We found that the temperature performance of Li/LiFePO4 cells could be optimized by using a LiBF4–LiBOB salt mixture. At 1C and at −50°C, for example, a Li/LiFePO4 cell using 90:10 (in mole) LiBF4–LiBOB salt mixture could provide up to ∼30% of capacity at ∼3.0V and it still could be cycled at 90°C. In addition, we observed and explained an opposite correlation between the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and the power capability of the cell. That is, the LiBF4 cell at 20°C discharges at a higher plateau voltage than the LiBOB cell, whereas the LiBF4 electrolyte has a lower ionic conductivity.

Interstitial porosity and packing defects are varied in an attempt to understand the chromatographic consequences of the packing microstructure. The tracer zone dispersion is calculated in the form of plate height as a function of fluid velocity for seven model particle packs where particles are selectively removed from the packs in clusters of varying size and topology. In an attempt to examine the consequences of loose but random packs, the velocities and zone dispersion of seven defect-free packs are simulated over the range , where is the interstitial porosity. The results indicate that defect-free loose packings can give good chromatographic efficiency but the efficiency can vary depending on subtle details of the pack. When the defect population increases, the zone dispersion increases accordingly. For a particle pack where 6% of the particles are removed from an pack, 33% of the column efficiency is lost. These results show that it is far more important in column packing to prevent defect sites leading to inhomogeneous packing rather than obtaining the highest density pack with the smallest interstitial void volume.

T1 - A model of charge transport and electromechanical transduction in ionic liquid-swollen Nafion membranes JO - Polymer JF - Polymer Y1 - 2006/09/07/ VL - 47 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 6782 EP - 6796 SN - 00323861 AB - Abstract: Ionomeric polymer transducers (sometimes called “ionic polymer–metal composites,” or “IPMCs”) are a class of electroactive polymers that are able to operate as distributed electromechanical actuators and sensors. Traditionally, these transducers have been fabricated using water-swollen Nafion membranes. This work seeks to overcome the hydration dependence of these transducers by replacing water with an ionic liquid. In the current work, two ionic liquids are studied as diluents for ionomeric polymer transducers based on Nafion membranes. The two ionic liquids used are 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EMI-Tf) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (EMI-Im). These two ionic liquids were chosen for their low viscosity and high conductivity. Furthermore, although many of the physical properties of the two ionic liquids are similar, the EMI-Tf ionic liquid is water miscible whereas the EMI-Im ionic liquid is hydrophobic. These important similarities and differences facilitated investigations of the interactions between the ionic liquids and the Nafion polymer. This paper examines the mechanisms of electromechanical transduction in ionic liquid-swollen transducers based on Nafion polymer membranes. Specifically, the morphology and relevant ion associations within these membranes are investigated by the use of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. These results reveal that the ionic liquid interacts with the membrane in much the same way that water does, and that the counterions of the Nafion polymer are the primary charge carriers in the ionic liquid-swollen films. The results of these analyses are compared to the macroscopic transduction behavior in order to develop a molecular/morphological model of the charge transport mechanism responsible for electromechanical coupling in these membranes.

Measurements were made with a wide-bandwidth capacitor microphone for comparison with conventional 3.175-mm (1/8-in.) microphones with and without baffles. It was found that the 3.175-mm microphone did not have sufficient high-frequency response to capture the actual rise times in some regions. For a source of 0.57 kg (1.25 lb) of C-4 plastic explosive, the trend observed is that nonlinear effects steepened the waveform, thereby decreasing the shock rise time, up to a range of 50 m. At 100 m, the rise times had increased slightly.

Two half-space Green’s functions are employed in the formulation. The first one defined for the upper half space is used to reduce the problem size and eliminate the edge effect resulting from the boundary truncation; the other one for the lower half space is to simplify the representation of the Neumann-Dirichlet map. As a result, the unknowns are only distributed over the corrugated part of the surface, which leads to substantial reduction in the size of the final linear system. The computational complexity of the Neumann-Dirichlet map is also reduced. The method is used to analyze the behavior of sound propagation above textured surfaces the impedance of which is expectedly altered. The effects of number and opening of trench cuttings, and the effect of source height are investigated. The conclusions drawn can be used for reference in a practical problem of mitigating gun blast noise.

Methods: Chart review from the trauma registry of a level 1 trauma center between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2004 identified 2 patients who received rFVIIa for progressive hemorrhagic TBI. These patients were given a single dose of rFVIIa (120 mcg/kg) after a repeat head computed tomography (CT) scan showed worsening of intracranial bleeding. Pre-rFVIIa and post-rFVIIa coagulation parameters and postintervention CT scans were performed. A matched convenience sample was drawn from the institution’s trauma registry reflecting similar injury patterns. Results: The 2 patients who received rFVIIa were ages 61 and 79 years; the patients in the matched convenience sample were 57 and 63 years. Both sets of patients comprised 1 man and 1 woman who had suffered blunt trauma, including hemorrhagic TBI, and were matched according to age, gender, and injury severity score (ISS). During their hospital course, repeat CT scans documented worsening of intracranial hemorrhage in both cohorts. In the rFVIIa patients, follow-up CT showed overall improvement of head injury compared with the convenience sample. The rFVIIa patients also saw an appreciable decrease in both prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR). Conclusions: In hemorrhagic TBI, rFVIIa has the potential to limit or even halt the progression of bleeding that would otherwise place growing pressure on the brain. A prospective, randomized multicenter trial is planned to elucidate this hypothesis.

In addition to the environmental benefits of removing lead compounds from electronic manufacturing, gold-tin eutectic also exhibits desirable mechanical properties such as high strength and low thermal fatigue. However, some methods of deposition for this solder require complicated processes or limit the minimum bump size. This paper explores the formation of AuSn eutectic solder bumps using sequential electrodeposition of Au and Sn to determine the effect of layer thickness and sequence on the composition and structure of the resulting solder bump.

This study investigated breath by breath inspiratory peak flow rate, minute ventilation, and instantaneous flow rates of eight young, healthy volunteers walking on a treadmill at 80-85% of maximal aerobic capacity until exhaustion while wearing an air-purifying respirator with one of eight combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. An analysis of variance was performed to identify differences among the eight conditions. Scheffe's post hoc analysis indicated which means differed. The group of conditions with the highest average value for each parameter was identified and considered to represent a worst-case scenario. Data was reported for these conditions. A Gaussian distribution was fit to the data and the 99.9% probability levels determined. The 99.9% probability level for the peak and instantaneous flow rates were 374 L/min and 336 L/min, respectively. The minute ventilation distribution was not Gaussian. Less than 1% of the recorded minute ventilations exceeded 135 L/min. Instantaneous flow rates exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's respirator test standards of 64, 85, and 100 L/min constant flow 91%, 87%, and 82% of the time, respectively. The recorded minute ventilations exceeded the 40 L/min minute ventilation test standard (for tests with a sinusoidal flow pattern) 100% of the time. This study showed that young, healthy respirator wearers generated peak flow rates, minute ventilations, and instantaneous flow rates that consistently exceeded current test standards. Their flow rates should be higher than those of a respirator wearer performing occupational work and could be considered upper limits. Testing respirators and respirator cartridges using a sinusoidal breathing pattern with a minute ventilation of 135 L/min (peak flow rate approximately 424 L/min) would encompass 99% of the recorded minute ventilations and 99.9% of the predicted peak and instantaneous flow rates from this study and would more accurately reflect human respiration during strenuous exercise.

We hypothesized that renal cortical perfusion, estimated by PDUS image intensity (PDUSII), would decrease during burn shock and improve during resuscitation in a porcine model. Methods: Eight anesthetized swine sustained a 75% scald injury. Resuscitation began 6h postburn. Renal cortical blood flow was measured directly using fluorescent microspheres (CORFLO), and was estimated noninvasively by PDUSII. PDUSII, CORFLO, and cardiopulmonary data were recorded every 2h. Results: PDUSII decreased significantly from preburn to postburn hour 6, and increased with resuscitation by hour 8. CORFLO correlated well with PDUS image intensity (n =48, r 2 =0.696) but poorly with urine output (n =48, r 2 =0.252). Conclusion: PDUS in this study was superior to the urine output in assessing renal cortical microvascular blood flow during shock and resuscitation, and may be useful in the care of injured patients.

Methods: Influenza cases and deaths in two referent populations (U.S. residents in 1917 and 2006) were calculated using clinical case rates from three pandemics (1918-like, 1957-like, and 1968-like) and case fatality rates from the 1918–1919 pandemic. Results: Across pandemic scenarios, overall case (“attack”) rates ranged from 24.7% to 34.2%, and overall death rates ranged from 4.4 to 6.7 per 1000. In both referent populations, total cases and deaths were significantly higher when using 1957-like and 1968-like, compared to 1918-like, case rates. Under all pandemic scenarios, the most deaths occurred among those aged 25 to 29 years. However, in the 2006 referent population, there were large numbers and high proportions of deaths in middle-aged and elderly adults (unlike during the 1918–1919 pandemic). Conclusions: Numbers and distributions of cases and deaths during influenza pandemics depend on numbers of individuals, clinical case rates, and case fatality rates in relation to age. During a future pandemic in the United States, influenza deaths will likely not be as sharply focused in young adults as in 1918–1919 (even if case fatality rates are similar) because of larger proportions of middle-aged and elderly adults and potentially higher case rates among adults older than 30.

T1 - The effects of repeated low-dose sarin exposure JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 215 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 119 EP - 134 SN - 0041008X AB - Abstract: This project assessed the effects of repeated low-dose exposure of guinea pigs to the organophosphorus nerve agent sarin. Animals were injected once a day, 5 days per week (Monday–Friday), for 2 weeks with fractions (0.3×, 0.4×, 0.5×, or 0.6×) of the established LD50 dose of sarin (42 μg/kg, s.c.). The animals were assessed for changes in body weight, red blood cell (RBC) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels, neurobehavioral reactions to a functional observational battery (FOB), cortical electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectrum, and intrinsic acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter (NT) regulation over the 2 weeks of sarin exposure and for up to 12 days postinjection. No guinea pig receiving 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 × LD50 of sarin showed signs of cortical EEG seizures despite decreases in RBC AChE levels to as low as 10% of baseline, while seizures were evident in animals receiving 0.6 × LD50 of sarin as early as the second day; subsequent injections led to incapacitation and death. Animals receiving 0.5 × LD50 sarin showed obvious signs of cholinergic toxicity; overall, 2 of 13 animals receiving 0.5 × LD50 sarin died before all 10 injections were given, and there was a significant increase in the angle of gait in the animals that lived. By the 10th day of injection, the animals receiving saline were significantly easier to remove from their cages and handle and significantly less responsive to an approaching pencil and touch on the rump in comparison with the first day of testing. In contrast, the animals receiving 0.4 × LD50 sarin failed to show any significant reductions in their responses to an approaching pencil and a touch on the rump as compared with the first day. The 0.5 × LD50 sarin animals also failed to show any significant changes to the approach and touch responses and did not adjust to handling or removal from the cage from the first day of injections to the last day of handling. Thus, the guinea pigs receiving the 0.4 and 0.5 × LD50 doses of sarin failed to habituate to some aspects of neurobehavioral testing. Spectral analysis of EEG data suggested that repeated sarin exposure may disrupt normal sleeping patterns (i.e., lower frequency bandwidths). While these EEG changes returned to relative normalcy 6 days after the last injection in animals receiving 0.4 × LD50 sarin, these changes were still observed in the animals that received 0.5 × LD50 sarin. Ten to twelve days after the last sarin injection (in 0.4 × LD50 group only), neurochemical data showed that striatal choline levels were reduced in comparison to the saline group. At this time, atropine sulfate (5 mg/kg, i.p.) challenge resulted in a transient elevation in striatal ACh levels in animals exposed to repeated 0.4 × LD50 sarin as well as in control animals. No evidence of brain or heart pathology was found in any guinea pig that survived all 10 sarin injections.

This salt was found to have the combined advantages of lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) and LiBF4 due to its chemical structure comprising the half molecular moieties of LiBOB and LiBF4. Compared with LiBOB, the salt is more soluble in linear carbonates and the resulting solution is less viscous, which results in the battery better low temperature and high rate performance. Unlike LiBF4, the salt is highly capable of stabilizing solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the surface of graphite anode, which enables Li-ion cell to be operated stably at high temperature. For example, a graphite/LiNi1−x−y M x N y O2 (M and N are metal atoms) Li-ion cell suffered only about 10% capacity loss after 200 cycles at 60°C. On the other hand, graphite can be cycled reversibly with LiODFB even in a solution containing high concentration (50wt%) of propylene carbonate (PC), which makes it possible to formulate the low freezing temperature electrolyte by using PC as the co-solvent. Other merits of the LiODFB-based electrolytes include (1) the ability to support metallic lithium cycling reversibly on the surface of copper anode current collector, (2) the ability to passivate aluminum cathode current collector at high potentials, (3) the ability to participate in formation of the SEI and support Li-ion battery operating stably at high temperatures, and (4) the ability to increase battery safety protection and overcharge tolerance.

Essential to producing a marketable bioherbicidal product was the development of liquid culture procedures that would yield propagules that maintained biocontrol efficacy. Since M. terrestris did not produce conidia in liquid culture, various nutritional conditions were evaluated as a means to produce high concentrations of stable fungal propagules such as microsclerotia. Evaluations of propagule formation and biomass yield were carried out in liquid culture media containing a basal salts solution amended with corn steep liquor powder or cottonseed meal combined with 4% or 6% glucose. Hyphal aggregation was observed by day 2, and by day 8 abundant melanized microsclerotia were present in the broth cultures. When applied as a liquid inoculum to hydrilla at rates of 0.1 and 0.2ml/l, the microsclerotial matrix was capable of significantly reducing hydrilla shoot biomass by as much as 99%. Air-dried microsclerotia were capable of hyphal germination in 24h and sporogenic germination in 72h. These capabilities have significance for the use of microsclerotia of M. terrestris as the preferred inoculum for biocontrol purposes. Hyphae germinating from microsclerotia on hydrilla plant surfaces can establish initial infection sites followed several days later by secondary infections resulting from the development and release of spores from the surface of the microsclerotia. The capability of microsclerotia of M. terrestris to remain stable as a dry preparation and to germinate both hyphally and sporogenically upon rehydration enhances the potential of this fungus for use as a nonchemical, biological control agent for hydrilla.

Reaction time was varied by varying the drift electric field. The rate constants were derived from the mobility spectra by determining the rate at which ions decomposed in the drift region. Arrhenius plots with a drift gas containing water vapor at 5ppmv gave the following activation energies and pre-exponential factors: 2,4-dimethylpyridine, 94±2kJmol−1, log A (s−1)=15.9±0.4; dimethyl methylphosphonate, 127±3kJmol−1, log A (s−1)=15.6±0.3. The enthalpy changes for the decompositions calculated from the activation energies are in accord with literature values for symmetrical proton bound dimers of oxygen and nitrogen bases. The results for dimethyl methylphosphonate were obtained over the temperature range 478–497K and are practically independent of water concentration (5–2000ppmv). The activation energy for 2,4-dimethylpyridine, obtained over the temperature range 340–359K, decreased to 31kJmol−1 in the presence of 2.0×103 ppmv of water. At the low temperature, a displacement reaction involving water may account for the decrease. The reduced mobilities of the protonated molecules and the proton bound dimers have been determined over a wide temperature range. While the values for the dimers are essentially independent of the water concentration in the drift gas, those of the protonated molecules show a strong dependence.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 72 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 5766 EP - 5776 SN - 00992240 AB - In order to investigate the prevalence of tick-borne infectious agents among ticks, ticks comprising five species from two genera (Hemaphysalis spp. and Ixodes spp.) were screened using molecular techniques. Ticks (3,135) were collected from small wild-caught mammals or by dragging/flagging in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and were pooled into a total of 1,638 samples (1 to 27 ticks per pool). From the 1,638 tick samples, species-specific fragments of Anaplasma phagocytophilum (1 sample), Anaplasma platys (52 samples), Ehrlichia chaffeensis (29 samples), Ehrlichia ewingii (2 samples), Ehrlichia canis (18 samples), and Ricketisia rickettsii (28 samples) were amplified by PCR assay. Twenty-one pooled and individual tick samples had mixed infections of two (15 samples) or three (6 samples) pathogens. In addition, 424 spleen samples from small captured mammals (389 rodents, 33 insectivores, and 2 weasels) were screened for selected zoonotic pathogens. Species-specific DNA fragments of A. phagocytophilum (110 samples), A. platys (68 samples), E. chaffeensis (8 samples), E. ewingii (26 samples), E. canis (51 samples), and Rickettsia sp. (22 samples) were amplified by PCR assay. One hundred thirty small mammals had single infections, while 4, 14, and 21 striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) had mixed infections of four, three, and two pathogens, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequence comparison also revealed that Korean strains of E. chaffeensis clustered closely with those from China and the United States, while the Rickettsia (rOmpA) sequences clustered within a clade together with a Chinese strain. These results suggest that these agents should be considered in differential diagnosis while examining cases of acute febrile illnesses in humans as well as animals in the ROK.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2006/08/29/ VL - 103 IS - 35 M3 - Article SP - 13220 EP - 13225 SN - 00278424 AB - The nerve agents soman, sarin, VX, and tabun are deadly organophosphorus (OP) compounds chemically related to OP insecticides. Most of their acute toxicity results from the irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (ACHE), the enzyme that inactivates the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The limitations of available therapies against OP poisoning are well recognized, and more effective antidotes are needed. Here, we demonstrate that galantamine, a reversible and centrally acting AChE inhibitor approved for treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, protects guinea pigs from the acute toxicity of lethal doses of the nerve agents soman and sarin, and of paraoxon, the active metabolite of the insecticide parathion. In combination with atropine, a single dose of galantamine administered before or soon after acute exposure to lethal doses of soman, sarin, or paraoxon effectively and safely counteracted their toxicity. Doses of galantamine needed to protect guinea pigs fully against the lethality of OPs were well tolerated. In preventing the lethality of nerve agents, galantamine was far more effective than pyridostigmine, a peripherally acting AChE inhibitor, and it was less toxic than huperzine, a centrally acting AChE inhibitor. Thus, a galantamine-based therapy emerges as an effective and safe countermeasure against OP poisoning.

This paper reports the development and application of a two-dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic model to simulate suspended sediment concentration distribution in a groyne field. The governing equations of flow hydrodynamic model are depth-averaged two-dimensional Reynold’s averaged momentum equations and continuity equation in which the density of sediment laden-flow varies with the concentration of suspended sediment. The depth-averaged two-dimensional convection and diffusion equation was solved to obtain the depth-averaged suspended sediment concentration. The source term is the difference between suspended sediment entrainment and deposition from bed surface. One laboratory experiment was chosen to verify the simulated flow field around a groyne, and the other to verify the suspended sediment concentration distribution in a meandering channel. Then, the model utility was demonstrated in a field case study focusing on the confluence of the Kankakee and Iroquois Rivers in Illinois, United States, to simulate the distribution of suspended sediment concentration around spur dikes. Results demonstrated that the depth-averaged, two-dimensional model can approximately simulate the flow hydrodynamic field and concentration of suspended sediment. Spur dikes can be used to effectively relocate suspended sediment in alluvial channels.

The effect of operating conditions, such as methanol concentration, discharge voltage and temperature, on Faradic and energy conversion efficiencies was analyzed under constant voltage discharge with quantitative amount of fuel. Both of Faradic and energy conversion efficiencies decrease significantly with increasing methanol concentration and environmental temperature. The Faradic conversion efficiency can be as high as 94.8%, and the energy conversion efficiency can be as high as 23.9% if the environmental temperature is low enough (10°C) under constant voltage discharge at 0.6V with 3M methanol for a DMFC bi-cell. Although higher temperature and higher methanol concentration can achieve higher discharge power, it will result in considerable losses of Faradic and energy conversion efficiencies for using Nafion electrolyte membrane. Development of alternative highly conductive membranes with significantly lower methanol crossover is necessary to avoid loss of Faradic conversion efficiency with temperature and with fuel concentration.

RDX degradation activity was maintained for more than a year with only the addition of RDX. We observed a steady increase in the protein concentration of the culture from 4.8 μg mL−1 to more than 24.4 μg mL−1, a >400% increase. There was only a slight increase in protein in the RDX unamended control bottles containing live culture, increasing from 4.8 μg mL−1 to 7.8 μg mL−1. Radiolabeled 14C-RDX confirmed mineralization of the cyclic nitramine to 14CO2. After 164 days, 35% of the radiolabel was recovered as 14CO2. This is the first report demonstrating the mineralization of RDX when it serves as a growth substrate for a mixed culture.

Asymptotic homogenization methods permit the calculation of effective mechanical properties (e.g. strain energy, stress, and stiffness) of a representative crystalline volume element containing statistically periodic defect structures. From a numerical standpoint, the theoretical–computational method postulated and implemented here in the context of lattice statics enables prediction of minimum energy configurations of imperfect atomic-scale crystals deformed to finite strain levels. Numerical simulations demonstrate the utility of our framework for the particular case of body-centered-cubic tungsten. Elastic stiffness and energetic properties of periodic unit cells containing vacancies, screw dislocations, and low-angle twist boundaries are computed. Nonlinear aspects of elastic behavior in the context of plastic flow are then modeled from the perspective of atomistic-to-continuum homogenization, following the introduction of a minimal set of kinetic assumptions required to account for the propagation of dislocations across the unit cell at finite deformations.

Y1 - 2006/08// VL - 20 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 492 EP - 499 SN - 10648011 AB - The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a dynamic warm up (DWU) with a static-stretching warm up (SWU) on selected measures of power and agility. Thirty cadets at the United States Military Academy completed the study (14 women and 16 men, ages 18-24 years). On 3 consecutive days, subjects performed 1 of the 2 warm up routines (DWU or SWU) or performed no warm up (NWUl). The 3 warm up protocols lasted 10 minutes each and were counterbalanced to avoid carryover effects. After 1-2 minutes of recovery, subjects performed 3 tests of power or agility. The order of the performance tests (T-shuttle run, underhand medicine ball throw for distance, and 5-step jump) also was counterbalanced. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed better performance scores after the DWU for all 3 performance tests (p < 0.01), relative to the SWU and NWU. There were no significant differences between the SWU and NWU for the medicine ball throw and the T-shuttle run, but the SWU was associated with better scores on the 5-step jump (p < 0.01). Because the results of this study indicate a relative performance enhancement with the DWU, the utility of warm up routines that use static stretching as a stand-alone activity should be reassessed.

In such remoteenvironments, medical providers have traditionally had limited access to medical information,a situation quite analogous to that in remote areas of underdeveloped or developingcountries. BMIST provides an all-in-one suite of mobile applications that empowersproviders via access to critical medical information and powerful clinical decision supporttools to accurately create an electronic health record (EHR). This record is synchronized withDepartment of Defense (DOD) joint health surveillance and medical information systemsfrom the earliest echelons of care through chronic care provided by the Veterans Administration.Specific goals met in the initial phase were: integration of the PDA and wireless interface;development of the local application and user interface; development of a communicationsinfrastructure and development of a data storage and retrieval system. The system hadbeen used extensively in the field to create an EHR far forward that supports a longitudinalmedical record across time and across all elements of the Military Healthcare System.

Sixteen physically fit males were the subject of the study who had performed an incremental test to maximal exertion on a cycle ergometer at sea level (SL). Subjects were then matched on peak aerobic capacity, ventilatory chemosensitivity and body mass and assigned to either a placebo or antioxidant supplement group in a randomized, double-blind manner. The result of the study shows a decrease on VT upon acute HA exposure, but improves with acclimatization in both group. Prior antioxidant supplementation also improves VT upon acute altitude exposure.

Box-shaped columns can be built-up from cold-formed thin-walled channels. Latered bracing is often provided by cross-bracing using thin tension-only straps in selected bays. Although several static cyclic tests of individual shear panels have been conducted by several investigators, no dynamic tests have previously been conducted. Results of shaketable tests of a full-scale two-story one-bay structure are reported herein. During the large amplitude tests, the cross-bracing straps showed very ductile but highly pinched hysteresis behavior. The columns that were fixed at the top and bottom provided limited strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation because of local buckling of the thin-walled members. Analytical results reproduced the measured behavior relatively well.

Silicate minerals remove twice the CO2 of carbonate minerals per mole of calcium in runoff during weathering. Bedrock weathering chemistry was investigated in the White River watershed of northeastern USA to investigate whether there are seasonal differences in carbonate and silicate weathering chemistry. Geographic Information Systems analyses of bedrock geology were combined with major element concentrations in river waters to gain an understanding of the consistency of mineral weathering during three seasons. The percent of carbonate mineralogy comprising the bedrock in tributaries of the White River varied from less than 5% to 45% by area. A mass balance calculation using major element concentrations in waters was applied to estimate the seasonal relationships between bedrock geology and bicarbonate flux. In all tributaries and the main stem of the White River the highest calculated percent of bicarbonate from carbonate mineral weathering was measured in the late fall. The results suggest that carbonate and silicate bedrock weathering processes are seasonally controlled. Thus single season sampling could not accurately represent an entire year''s geochemical budget. In the White River, water samples obtained solely during the summer would consistently underestimate the total yearly source of bicarbonate from carbonate bedrock weathering. The same sample set would also provide data that would lead to an underestimation of the yearly atmospheric CO2 draw down by bedrock weathering in the watershed. For example at four of the seven locations studied there was an almost two-fold difference between summer and spring calculated atmospheric CO2 consumption rates.

In this study, we used codon-optimized plasmid DNAs (DNA vaccines) encoding Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) to immunize rabbits for producing anti-anthrax antibodies for use in passive immunotherapy. The antisera generated with these DNA vaccines were of high titer as measured by ELISA. The antisera were also able to protect J774 macrophage cells by neutralizing the cytotoxic effect of exogenously added anthrax lethal toxin, and of the toxin released by B. anthracis (Sterne strain) spores following infection. In addition, the antisera passively protected mice against pulmonary challenge with an approximate 50 LD50 dose of B. anthracis (Sterne strain) spores. The protection in mice was obtained when the antiserum was given 1h before or 1h after challenge. We further demonstrated that IgG and F(ab′)2 components purified from anti-PA rabbit hyperimmune sera retained similar levels of neutralizing activities against both exogenously added B. anthracis lethal toxin and toxin produced by B. anthracis (Sterne strain) spores.

However, while the mature spinal cord contains an appreciable number of cholinergic motoneurons, cultures of embryonic spinal cord have a paucity of these neurons and release little or no acetylcholine upon stimulation. To determine whether the proportion of cholinergic neurons in primary mouse spinal cord cultures can be augmented, the effects of several classes of growth factors were examined on depolarization- and Ca2+-evoked release of choline/acetylcholine (Ch/ACh). In the absence of growth factors, little or no evoked release of radiolabeled Ch/ACh could be demonstrated. Media supplemented with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were examined for their ability to preserve the population of neurons in culture. CNTF was found to increase the number of surviving neurons and to enhance the release of radiolabeled Ch/ACh; the other factors were without effect. The action of CNTF was transient, and the neuronal population decreased to levels observed in cultures lacking growth factor after 20 days in vitro. The correlation between enhanced neuron survival and increased Ch/ACh release suggests that CNTF protected cholinergic neurons, albeit transiently, from cell death.

For steam to carbon feed ratios from 0.0 to 4.0, the reactor operated autothermally, and the H2 to CO product ratio increased from ∼1.0 to ∼4.0, which is essentially the equilibrium product composition near synthesis gas stoichiometry (C/O ∼1) at contact times of ∼7ms. In fuel-rich feeds exceeding the synthesis gas ratio (C/O>1), steam addition suppressed olefins and promoted synthesis gas and water–gas shift products. Steam addition also reduced catalyst surface carbon. Furthermore, steam addition to the catalytic partial oxidation of the military fuel JP-8 was performed successfully, also increasing H2 and suppressing olefins.

The idea that behavioral and social scientists may test the robustness of their theories by studying the same phenomenon across in extremis settings is explored. Research involving human participants conducted in safe, peaceful settings will not necessarily generalize to combat; combat findings may differ from those developed elsewhere. The appropriate scientific approach is to replicate and extend, in the combat context, findings already well established in peacetime work.

The study used data from 4,464 respondents of the 2001 Survey of Army Families IV (SAF IV). SAF IV, fielded April through July 2001, was used to reduce the confounding associated with the Iraq war. The results of five-stepwise regressions indicated that them were four common predictors and four ethnically specific predictors of how spouses cope. It was also found that the major sample (Caucasian) was most reflective of the analysis of the total sample of 4,464. Two of the primary predictors of spouse coping were the Problems Experienced Scale and the spouses' ability to keep themselves well informed about the Army. Study findings suggest that while similarities in coping exist between ethnic groups, there are also important ethnic differences in coping relevant to family policy and practice. These differences warrant further study based on a larger sample of spouses.

This article applies Cottey. Edmonds, and Forster's thesis of first- and second generation civil-military relations to the protectorate of Bosnia-Herzegovina. It argues that in the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina, this agenda does not occur in a loosely overlapping fashion with the initiation of the first-generation agenda providing the basis upon which the second-generation agenda can be implemented. Rather, the reverse occurs: the second-generation, capacity-building agenda allows for the construction of state-level institutions in the defense and security sphere--not least a functioning ministry of defense--the hallmark of the first-generation macroinstitutional structural reform agenda. This approach may well prove to be appropriate for other protectorates, and it is of rising strategic significance in an age of preemptive action against failed and rogue states, regime change, and democratization.

This series of studies tested whether these drugs (aprotinin, desmopressin, tranexamic acid, ɛ-aminocaproic acid) could reduce bleeding due to traumatic injuries in two models of uncontrolled hemorrhage in rats. In the first phase of each study, a nonlethal tail bleeding model was used that incorporated limited fluid resuscitation (lactate Ringer''s solution). Four doses of vehicle or the test substance were given successively with bleeding time and blood loss measured after each dose. In the second phase of each study, a lethal liver injury was produced by excising a section of the median lobe (approximately 0.8% of body weight) and an infusion of either vehicle or the test substance was immediately begun. This model included aggressive fluid resuscitation and a severe dilutional coagulopathy. Blood loss, survival time and mortality rate were recorded. Three studies were performed, testing each of the drugs singly and in combination. None of the drugs significantly reduced either bleeding time or blood loss in the tail bleeding model, nor were blood loss, survival time or mortality rate altered in the liver injury model. Taken together, these results suggest that these FDA-approved drugs, when used either singly or in combination, are not efficacious in these models of traumatic uncontrolled hemorrhage.

Two sets of duplex coatings were tested. Each had the same top coat but different bond coats, with layers ranging in thickness from 65 to 485μm. Depth sensing indentation tests were performed to determine the modulus, elastic and irrecoverable energy of each layer. The top coat layer had an indentation modulus of 2.7±0.2MPa with a percent irrecoverable energy of 11%. One bond coat had an indentation modulus of 3.9±0.5MPa with a percent irrecoverable energy of 9%; the other bond coat had an indentation modulus of 155±12MPa with a percent irrecoverable energy of 54%. Scratch tests were performed with a 1.6mm radius steel ball sliding at 5mm/min during loading at 97N/min. Coating failure was detected by a sudden drop in the tangential force at a critical value T c. For both sets of coatings T c increased linearly with both bond and top coat thickness. The thickness dependence of the bond coat with the higher indentation modulus was about 2.2 times more than for the lower modulus bond coat. The dependence of T c on the modulus ratio of bond coat to top coat has been calculated for a sphere loaded into a duplex layer; T c was found to increase monotonically with increasing modulus ratio. It has also been demonstrated that there should be an optimal value for the bond coat''s indentation modulus that provides the most tear resistance. A tearing energy criterion was also used to qualitatively explain the bond coat''s contribution to toughening the duplex coating, in that bond coats that dissipate more energy during deformation will require more energy for tearing.

The primary goal of this investigation was to gain a fundamental understanding of the water characteristics in oriented strandboard (OSB) using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) approaches. Isotherm sorption tests were conducted on commercial OSB specimens made from different wood species and adhesive combinations. Moisture content (MC) determination, water activity (aw) measurement, and magnetic resonance relaxometry plus chemometrics analysis were performed on the OSB specimens during isotherm sorption tests. The results showed that neither MC nor aw is a reliable indicator of mold susceptibility of OSB. NMR relaxometry together with distributed exponential analysis detected that the state of water with the longest spin-spin relaxation time is responsible for the mold susceptibility of OSB. OSB made from southern pine had higher mold susceptibility than that made from aspen because the pine OSB had a third water component with very long spin-spin relaxation time (6035-7346 µs). The results suggest that a new protocol for quality control based on NMR relaxometry could be put in place in OSB production.

JO - International Regional Science Review JF - International Regional Science Review Y1 - 2006/07// VL - 29 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 311 EP - 335 AB - Missing data frustrate research and limit our understanding of regional economies. County Business Patterns annually provides employment data for all U.S. counties and states at the most detailed industrial level, but two out of every three employment statistics are missing. In rural areas, this percentage is higher still. To protect the rights of employers to confidentiality, the U.S. Census Bureau has not disclosed the number of employees in 1.5 million cases in the 2002 data. Instead, it offers a suppression flag that represents an employment range. This article presents a two-stage method for replacing all the flags with employment estimates. Taking advantage of the hierarchical nature of the data both by industry and geography, the first stage identifies the smallest possible range for each suppressed number Ensuring that employment adds up correctly up and down the industrial and geographical hierarchies, the second stage iteratively adjusts all the estimates until millions of constraints are met. The procedure simultaneously considers all industries in all counties, states, and the nation to produce a complete data set, which is available to the research community on the Internet.

With agile software development methods, the expected time to reach software stability is obscured by the dynamic nature of the agile process itself. The System Design Instability (SDI) metric was developed to help analyze object-oriented software evolution under these conditions. In this paper we examine a new version of SDI, called SDIe, based on the maximum entropy in a system. We believe our new measure is easier to calculate than the original version of SDI since it is based on data that are more commonly available than those used by SDI; also, SDIe gives a more accurate indication of software stability and maturity since it suffers less from data spikes. To validate the new metric, we use maintenance data from a commercial software project, developed using an agile process; these are the same data that were collected and analyzed in the original SDI study. In addition, we apply the refined SDI metric to the evolution of a well-established, open-source, iteratively-developed software product. The results of our case study indicate our new SDIe metric is a viable measure of system design stability. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Because of this, we compared the in vitro contractile properties of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) fibre bundles from mice deficient in CA II (CAD) to litter mate controls (LM). Twitch rise, 1/2 relaxation time and peak twitch force at 22°C of fibre bundles from CAD EDL [28.4±1.4 ms, 31.2±2.3 ms, 6.2±1.0 Newton/cm2 (N/cm2), respectively] and CAD SOL (54.2±7.5 ms, 75.7±13.8 ms, 2.9±0.5 N/cm2, respectively) were significantly higher compared to LM EDL (20.5±2.2 ms, 21.9±3.7 ms, 4.5±0.2 N/cm2) and LM SOL (42.8±3.5 ms, 51.4±2.4 ms, 2.1±0.4 N/cm2). However, in acidic Krebs–Henseleit solution, mimicking the pH, PCO2, and HCO3– of arterial blood from CAD mice, twitch rise, 1/2 relaxation time, and peak twitch force of fibre bundles from CAD EDL (19.3±0.7 ms, 19.7±2.3 ms, 4.8±0.8 N/cm2) and CAD SOL (41.4±3.6 ms, 51.9±5.5 ms, 2.2±0.7 N/cm2) were not significantly different from LM fibre bundles in normal Krebs–Henseleit solution (EDL: 19.7±1.1 ms, 21.6±0.6 ms, 4.7±0.2 N/cm2; SOL: 42.5±3.1 ms, 51.8±2.6 ms, 1.8±0.3 N/cm2). A higher pHi during exposure to acidic bathing solution was maintained by CAD EDL (7.37±0.02) and CAD SOL (7.33±0.05) compared to LM EDL (7.28±0.04) and LM SOL (7.22±0.02). This suggests that the skeletal muscle of CAD mice possesses an improved defense of pHi against elevated pCO2. In support of this, apparent non-bicarbonate buffer capacity (in mequiv H+ (pH unit)–1 (kg cell H2O)–1) as determined by pH microelectrode was markedly increased in CAD EDL (75.7±4.1) and CAD SOL (85.9±3.3) compared to LM EDL (39.3±4.7) and LM SOL (37.5±3.8). Both latter phenomena may be related to the slowed rate of intracellular acidification seen in CAD SOL in comparison with LM SOL upon an increase in PCO2 of the bath. In conclusion, skeletal muscle from mice deficient in CA II exhibits altered handling of acid–base challenges and shows normal contractile behavior at normal intracellular pH.

To date, applications of radioactive fallout to trace upland sediment transport have been developed primarily on lands disturbed by agriculture, grazing, and logging. Here we use 137Cs to characterize and quantify soil erosion at the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, an undisturbed grassland in northeastern Kansas. We report on the small scale (<10 m) and landscape scale (10 to 1000 m) distribution of fallout 137Cs, and show significant variability in the concentrations and amounts of 137Cs in soils at our site. 137Cs soil concentrations and amounts typically vary by 10% to 30% on small scales, which most likely represents the spatial heterogeneity of the depositional processes. Landscape scale variability of soil 137Cs was significantly higher than small scale variability. Most notably, soils collected on convex (divergent) landforms had 137Cs inventories of 2500 to 3000 Bq m−2, which is consistent with the expected atmospheric inputs to the study area during the 1950s and 1960s. Concave landforms, however, had statistically lower inventories of 1800 to 2300 Bq m−2. The distribution of 137Cs on this undisturbed landscape contrasts significantly with distributions observed across disturbed sites, which generally have accumulations of radioactive fallout in valley bottoms. Because the upslope contributing area at each sampling point had a significant negative correlation with the soil inventory of 137Cs, we suggest that overland flow in convergent areas dominates soil erosion at Konza on time scales of decades. Very few points on our landscape had 137Cs inventories significantly above that which would be predicted from direct deposition of 137Cs on the soil surface; we conclude therefore that there is little net sediment storage on this undisturbed landscape.

The existing methods including traditional simple random sampling and kriging or cokriging variance based sampling designs can not lead to optimal sampling designs. In this study, a local variability based sampling design using a sequential Gaussian co‐simulation by combining remotely sensed and ground data is developed. This method theoretically can lead to a sampling design with variable sampling distances, that is, grid spacings that are optimal at local and global levels. The method was assessed and compared with simple random sampling in a case study in which the soil erosion ground and vegetation cover factor was sampled and mapped using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images and annual permanent ground measurements sampled from 1989 to 1995. The results show that the local variability based sampling greatly reduced the number of sampled plots and increased the cost‐efficiency for sampling in comparison to simple random sampling. The difference in cost‐efficiency between the two methods increased with increased global variation. This method can also be applied to analyse the sufficiency of a permanent plot sample and further provide information for additional sampling.

These novel assays used paramagnetic bead-based electrochemiluminescent technology in which biotinylated serotype-specific antibodies were bound to streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads. The beads acted as the solid support and captured analyte from solution. Electrochemiluminescent detection relied on the use of ruthenium chelate-labeled anti-serotype antibodies and analysis with a BioVeris M-Series M1R analyzer. The sensitivities of the assays in clinically relevant matrices were 50pg/ml for serotypes A and E, 100pg/ml for serotype B, and 400pg/ml for serotype F. The detection limits in selected food matrices ranged from 50pg/ml for serotype A to 50 to 100pg/ml for serotypes B, E, and F. The antibodies used for capture and detection exhibited no cross-reactivity when tested with the other serotypes. When purified native toxin was compared with toxins complexed to neurotoxin-associated proteins, no significant differences in assay response were noted for serotypes A, B, and F. Interestingly, the native form of serotype E exhibited reduced signal and limit of detection compared with the complexed form of the protein. We suspect that this difference may be due to trypsin activation of this particular serotype. The assays described in this article demonstrate limits of detection similar in range to the gold standard mouse bioassay, but with greatly reduced time to data. These rapid sensitive assays may have potential use in clinical settings, research studies, and screening of food products for botulinum toxins.

The absence of any inhibitory activity when TDG was present in assays of pure enzymes, however, led us to investigate the possibility for metabolic activation of TDG to inhibitory compound(s) by cytosolic enzymes. We have successfully shown that mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) rapidly oxidize TDG in vitro, but the classic spectrophotometric techniques for following this reaction provided no information on the identity of TDG intermediates and products. The use of proton NMR to monitor the oxidative reaction with structural confirmation by independent synthesis allowed us to establish the ultimate product, 2-hydroxyethylthioacetic acid, and to identify an intermediate equilibrium mixture consisting of 2-hydroxyethylthioacetaldehyde, 2-hydroxyethylthioacetaldehyde hydrate and the cyclic 1,4-oxathian-2-ol. The intermediate nature of this mixture was determined spectrophotometrically when it was shown to drive the production of NADH when added to ADH and NAD.

A portable hydraulic press and fixture was designed to apply compressive preloads during ballistic penetration. A civilian version of the US Army's M4 carbine was used for the ballistic tests where penetration velocities were well above the ballistic limit for 5.56mm projectiles. Compression-only data were initially obtained to characterize the various modes of damage. Samples without simultaneous compressive preload were subjected to ballistic penetration alone and then compressively loaded to failure. Finally, samples that had previously undergone ballistic testing at varying levels of compressive preloads were loaded in compression to determine the residual compressive failure strength. For simultaneous loading, samples were subjected to a specified compressive preload while a projectile was fired through the center of the sample. This study finds that the effect of simultaneous preload and ballistic penetration results in a greater extent of damage propagation than for ballistic penetration alone, increasing the possibility of initiating buckling failure of the loaded plate. The equivalent ballistic limit velocity for a given laminate and thickness is also likely to be reduced with increasing preload in composite laminates.

Three of the nearly two-dozen centennial plenary sessions selected for the conference proceedings focused on the subject of sociological knowledge. One of these plenary sessions was organized by me; the other two, originally intended to be one session but divided in order to accommodate the large number of proposed presenters, was organized by Barbara Schneider. Shortly after the sessions were confirmed, I contacted Barbara to determine her interest in publishing some of the presentations as a collection that offered multiple perspectives on the nature of sociological knowledge. Based on the initial interest expressed by both Barbara and the presenters, I contacted Larry Nichols to determine if he might have an interest in publishing a special issue of The American Sociologist on this topic. Upon his consent, work proceeded forward on this special issue.

A total of 368 U.S. Army soldiers have completed a baseline survey of health and work factors at their first visit for back pain. A multivariable regression and structural equation modeling were used to describe the relationships among ergonomic exposure, job stress, smoking, and their ability to predict repeat clinic visits. The path analysis indicated that higher levels of ergonomic exposures were directly related to higher levels of general distress. An effort to directly impact emotional distress by intervening at the levels of ergonomic risks and psychological workplace stress should prove useful in the management of acute low back pain.

The assumption behind traditional flood risk analysis is that climate is stationary, but anthropogenic climate change and better knowledge of interdecadal climate variability challenge the validity of the assumption. This paper reviews several alternative statistical models for flood risk estimation that do not assume climate stationarity. Some models require subjective judgement or presuppose an understanding of the causes of the underlying non-stationarity, which is problematic given our current knowledge of the interaction of climate and floods. Although currently out of favor, hydrometeorological models have been used for engineering design as alternatives to statistical models and could be adapted to different climate conditions. Floodplain managers should recognize the potentially greater uncertainty in flood risk estimation due to climate change and variability and try to incorporate the uncertainties into floodplain management decision-making and regulation.

The films were characterized for structural, microstructural, compositional, surface morphological, dielectric and insulating properties. The Materials Detectivity Figure of Merit (FOM), D*, [D* = pi/(CV(ε0εrtan δ)1/2] was used to evaluate the film's detectivity response. Our results suggest that undoped Ba60Sr40TiO3, with a value of D* = 0.08 (cm3/J)1/2, appears to out perform Pb based pyroelectric thin films, thus making it a viable candidate for IR pyroelectric detector applications. In addition the preliminary dielectric response studies of the 5 mol% Mg doped BST and 1 mol% La doped BST thin films indicate that these two materials are also excellent potential IR material candidates.

These examples highlight the role that nonregressivity plays in modeling and applications, and they point out a fascinating dichotomy between purely continuous systems and discrete, continuous, or hybrid systems. We conclude with a physically realizable null space criterion for inducing nonregressivity.

While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved of its use, questions arise regarding the model's simplicity. The objective of this research was to compare STREAM with the more commonly utilized Enhanced Stream Water Quality Model (QUAL2E). The comparison involved a statistical evaluation procedure based on sensitivity analyses, input probability distribution functions, and Monte Carlo simulation with site-specific data from a 46-mile (74-km) reach of the Big Black River in central Mississippi. Site specific probability distribution functions were derived from measured rates of reaeration, sediment oxygen demand, photosynthesis, and respiration. Both STREAM and QUAL2E reasonably predicted daily average dissolved oxygen (DO) based on a comparison of output probability distributions with observed DO. Observed DO was consistently within 90 percent confidence intervals of model predictions. The STREAM approach generally overpredicted while QUAL2E generally matched observed DO. Using the more commonly assumed lognormal distribution as opposed to a Weibull distribution for two of the sensitive input parameters resulted in minimal differences in the statistical evaluations. The QUAL2E approach had distinct advantages over STREAM in simulating the growth cycle of algae.

In this study, the cumulative-sum tracking signal and the smoothed-error tracking signal are evaluated on their ability to aid in shift (process upset) detection. The moving-centerline EWMA control chart technique is coupled with these tracking signals to enhance the monitoring of autocorrelated processes. The analysis characterizes two prevalent time series models: AR(1) and ARMA(1,1). The goal of this paper is to explore the capabilities of the tracking signals and the moving-centerline EWMA when the smoothing constants are varied and a shift is introduced into the process. The tracking signals are evaluated based on average run length (ARL) and false alarm rate (FA). Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The association of psychological eating behavior constructs with overweight and obesity during early adult life and middle age has been documented in several studies. However, the association of eating behavior with unexplained weight change in old age is relatively unexplored. Methods. Body weight, eating behavior (dietary restraint, distribution, and hunger as assessed by the Eating Inventory), reported dietary intake, and physical activity level were assessed at baseline in 36 nonobese postmenopausal women aged 61.3 ± 3.1 years (mean ± standard deviation). Measurements were repeated 4.4 ± 0.9 years later, and changes in body weight were examined in relation to baseline and follow-up eating behavior scores, reported dietary intake, and physical activity level. Results. Participants had no major changes in health or lifestyle characteristics over the study interval. Weight change ranged from 7.5 to +5.8 kg (mean +0.3 ± 3.5 kg), and there were no significant changes in reported dietary, intake. Mean hunger score (calculated as the mean of baseline and follow-up hunger score) predicted weight change per year over the study period (bivariate r = 0.386, p = .020) even in statistical models adjusted for mean dietary intake variables (partial r = 0.658, p = .003). Restraint, disinhibition, and physical activity level did not predict weight change. Conclusions. Reported hunger assessed by the Eating Inventory was associated with unintentional weight change in healthy postmenopausal women. The Eating Inventory questionnaire may provide a clinically useful tool for identifying older individuals at risk of undesirable weight change, and particularly unintentional weight loss, a factor strongly associated with increased morbidity and premature death in this population.

However, their application is prevented because of the poor capability in enabling graphite to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI). In this work, we found that addition of small amount of lithium bis(oxalate)borate (LiBOB) into the LiBF4-based electrolytes could significantly promote SEI formation on the surface of graphite even in solutions with a high content of PC. This is attributed to the fact that LiBOB participates in the formation chemistry of the SEI. Results showed that 1–5mol% LiBOB is sufficient to promote graphite cycling reversibly in 1.0m LiBF4 1:1:3 PC/EC/EMC and 1.0m LiBF4 1:1 PC/EC, respectively, while the excellent cycling performance of LiBF4-PC based electrolytes at low temperatures was maintained.

In general, NMR, IR and UV spectral evidence indicates that trifluoromethyl-β-diketones exist as mixtures of two chelated cis-enol forms in nonpolar media. Infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet spectrophotometry show the E⇌E equilibrium lies in the direction of the enol form which maximizes conjugation in most cases. Exceptions are noted and discussed.

Saturated soil column tests were conducted to observe the dissolution behavior of individual components (RDX, HMX, and TNT) from two HE formulations (Comp B and C4). HE particles dissolved readily, with higher velocities yielding higher dissolution rates, higher mass transfer coefficients, and lower effluent concentrations. Effluent concentrations were below solubility limits for all components at superficial velocities of 10–50 cm day−1. Under continuous flow at 50 cm day−1, RDX dissolution rates from Comp B and C4 were 34.6 and 97.6 μg h−1 cm−2 (based on initial RDX surface area), respectively, significantly lower than previously reported dissolution rates. Cycling between flow and no-flow conditions had a small effect on the dissolution rates and effluent concentrations; however, TNT dissolution from Comp B was enhanced under intermittent-flow conditions. A model that includes advection, dispersion, and film transfer resistance was developed to estimate the steady-state effluent concentrations.

JO - Biochemistry JF - Biochemistry Y1 - 2006/05/23/ VL - 45 IS - 20 M3 - Article SP - 6522 EP - 6528 SN - 00062960 AB - DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) phosphorylates several cellular proteins in vitro, but its cellular function and natural substrate(s) in vivo are not established. We reported activation of DNA ligase in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHIEK) on exposure to the DNA-damaging compound bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfide. The activated enzyme was identified as DNA ligase I, and this activation was attributed to phosphorylation of the enzyme. Here, we show that the phosphorylation is mediated by DNA-PK and that DNA ligase I is one of its natural substrates in vivo. DNA ligase I phosphorylation-cum-activation is a response specific to DNA double-strand breaks. We also demonstrate that affinity-purified inactive DNA ligase I is phosphorylated and activated in vitro by HeLa Cell DNA-PK confirming the in vivo observations. The findings specify the roles of DNA-PK and DNA ligase I in mammalian DNA double-strand break repair.

For Ta coatings, the corrosion process was dominated by dissolution of the steel substrate through open pores, however, at the end of 5 days, coating degradation was not observed. In contrast, while open pores were not observed with the Cr coatings, the corrosion resistance decreased as a function of time under acidic conditions, as a result of the protective oxide dissolution. Initially, however, the sputtered Cr coating exhibited improved corrosion resistance over the electrodeposited one, potentially due to the surface structure of the oxide film. Both Cr coatings showed similar transpassive behaviour to that of pure Cr; the current density of the sputtered Cr coating was observed to be greater than that of the electrodeposited one in the transpassive region due to the extensive droplet-like defects.

The initial state of the probe has a simpler analytical dependence on the set error rate to be induced by the probe than in the earlier design. The new device yields the same maximum information to the probe for a full range of induced error rates.

Pseudoatoms developed for the replacement of −OCH3 and −OCH2CH3 functional groups are used in optimizations of selected clusters, and the resulting geometries are compared to reference values taken from the full molecules. It is shown that the pseudoatoms, which consist of parametrized effective core potentials for the nearest neighbor interactions and an external charge field for long-range Coulomb effects, perform well at the MP2 and CCSD levels of theory for the suite of molecules to which they were applied. Representative timings for some of the pseudoatom-terminated clusters are presented, and it is seen that there is a significant reduction in computational time, yet the geometric configurations and deprotonation energies of the pseudoatom-terminated clusters are comparable to the more computationally expensive all-atom molecules.

Because of the need for training with live ammunition, control or cleanup of these contaminants may be necessary for the continued use of these firing ranges. One inexpensive approach for managing sites exposed to these contaminants is the use phytoremedation, particularly using common or native grasses. In this study, the uptake of NG and 2,4-DNT from water by three common grasses, yellow nutsedge (Cyperus escalantus), yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca), and common rush (Juncus effusus), was investigated using hydroponic reactors. Rapid removal from solution by all grasses was observed, with yellow nutsedge removal rates being the highest. NG or 2,4-DNT accumulated in the tissues in all of the plants, except yellow foxtail did not accumulate NG. Higher concentrations were observed in killed roots, demonstrating the presence of plant-based enzymes actively transforming the contaminants. Yellow nutsedge was also grown in 2,4-DNT spiked soil. Significant uptake into the plants roots and leaves was observed and concentrations in the soil decreased rapidly, although 2,4-DNT concentration also decreased in the unplanted controls. In summary, the three grasses tested appear to be good candidates for phytoremediation of propellant contamination.

It employs the idea that the propagation medium may be represented as random with a known spatial covariance function. In this paper, a generalization of the stochastic inverse for acoustic travel-time tomography of the atmosphere is developed. The atmospheric inhomogeneities are considered to be random, not only in space but also in time. This allows one to incorporate tomographic data (travel times) obtained at different times to estimate the state of the propagation medium at any given time, by using spatial-temporal covariance functions of atmospheric turbulence. This increases the amount of data without increasing the number of sources and/or receivers. A numerical simulation for two-dimensional travel-time acoustic tomography of the atmosphere is performed in which travel times between sources to receivers are calculated, given the temperature and wind velocity fields. These travel times are used as data for reconstructing the original fields using both the ordinary stochastic inversion and the proposed time-dependent stochastic inversion algorithms. The time-dependent stochastic inversion produces a good match to the specified temperature and wind velocity fields, with average errors about half those of the ordinary stochastic inverse.

The solar climate in Northern Europe is classified in this paper as being either stable, or highly variable, due to stochastic cloud cover inducing fluctuations of the solar irradiance. In general, solar radiation exhibits both positive and negative increments in the radiation during any period. The distribution functions of these increments with respect to their magnitude and duration are investigated, as well the distribution functions of stable intervals during generally variable radiation. The distribution functions are found to be a superposition of two exponential functions with different exponents, which depend on the magnitude of the radiation increments.

A substantial reduction was achieved. Of the three variables, filter depth, media size and filtration rate, media size had the most significant influence. Smaller media size favored higher removal efficiency of all targeted matter. There was no apparent relationship between removal efficiency and filter depth. Higher filtration rate resulted in lower removal efficiency and higher head loss. Compared with conventional granular media filters, crumb rubber filters required less backwash, and developed lower head loss. Consequently crumb rubber filters could be run for a longer time or allow a higher filtration rate. The results also indicate that the crumb rubber filtration alone did not achieve the target removal of invasive species. However, crumb rubber filtration could potentially be used as a primary treatment technology to enhance the efficiency of a secondary treatment process (e.g., disinfection).

In the first instance, the slotted tube is used to represent a single fracture intersected by an uncased well. In the second instance, the slotted tube is used to represent a multislot well screen within a porous medium. In both cases, the scanning colloidal borescope flowmeter (SCBFM) measures ground water velocity within the well by imaging colloids traveling through a well to measure their speed and direction. Measurements are compared against model simulations. For the case of a slotted tube representing a single fracture, SCBFM and model results agree with respect to the flow direction and to within a factor of 1.5 for the speed near the well’s center. Model and experimental agreement lend confidence that for an uncased well drilled in a fractured-rock medium, a calibrated SCBFM could be used to identify and quantify flowing features. Next, the SCBFM was deployed in a four-column multislotted casing with slots aligned with the flow direction. Another numerical model was developed to estimate the flow field within this well screen to evaluate the potential usefulness of employing the SCBFM in a screened well to estimate flow speed and direction in the surrounding porous medium. Results indicate that if the slots are not aligned with the flow, the SCBFM may only provide order-of-magnitude speed measurements and direction measurements with an uncertainty of approximately ±25°.

T1 - Kinetics of the NH reaction with H2 and reassessment of HNO formation from NH + CO2, H2O JO - Combustion & Flame JF - Combustion & Flame Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 145 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 543 EP - 551 SN - 00102180 AB - Abstract: The reaction of ground-state NH with H2 has been studied in a high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) reactor. The radicals were generated by the 2-photon 193 nm photolysis of NH3, following the decay of the originally produced radicals. Laser-induced fluorescence on the transition at 336 nm was used to monitor the progress of the reaction. We obtained , with precision limits varying from 12 to 33% and corresponding accuracy levels from 23 to 39%. This result is in excellent agreement with that of Rohrig and Wagner [Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 975] and the data sets can be combined to yield . Starting with this agreement, it is argued that their rate coefficients for NH + CO2 could not be significantly in error [Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 975]. This, combined with models of several combustion systems, indicates that HNO + CO cannot be the products, contrary to their suggestion [Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 975]. Ab initio calculations have been performed which confirm this conclusion by showing the barriers leading to these products to be too high compared to the measured activation energies. The calculations indicate the likelihood of formation of adducts, of low stability. These then may undergo further reactions. The NH + H2O reaction is briefly discussed and it is similarly argued that HNO + H2 cannot be the products, as had been previously suggested.

(1992). Predicting a changing taste: Do people know what they will like? Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 5, 187–200.]. suggesting that people are poor at predicting changes in liking. This is an important issue because an absence of this ability would make it difficult for people to optimize their own choices. Twenty undergraduates and 20 of their parents sampled four relatively unfamiliar consumer products, two foods and two body products, for 8 days. On Day 1, participants rated their initial liking and predicted their liking after seven daily uses of the products. Predictions were compared to actual liking on Day 8. Consistent with prior work, participants were poor at predicting their actual hedonic trajectories because they underestimated the degree to which their preferences would change. Contrary to predictions, parents were no better than students at this task, even though they had some 20–39 years more experience in observing their own hedonic trajectories. There is no evidence for any parent–child resemblance in either liking for the products or ability to accurately predict hedonic trajectory, and no evidence for consistency in ability to predict trajectories across the four different products. In general, participants underestimate the degree to which their preferences will change.

Multiple search platforms with varying capabilities can be deployed individually or simultaneously for these operations (e.g., helicopters, fixed wing or satellite). Due to the timeliness required in these operations, efficient use of available search platforms is critical to the success of such missions. Designing optimal search strategies over multiple search platforms can be modeled and solved as a multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP). This paper demonstrates how simultaneous generalized hill climbing algorithms (SGHC) can be used to determine optimal search strategies over multiple search platforms for the MTSP. Computational results with SGHC algorithms applied to the MTSP are reported. These results demonstrate that when limited computing budgets are available, optimal/near-optimal search strategies over multiple search platforms can be obtained more efficiently using SGHC algorithms compared to other generalized hill climbing algorithms. Applications and extensions of this research to other military applications are also discussed.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2006/05// VL - 25 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1368 EP - 1375 SN - 07307268 AB - Scientifically based ecological soil-screening levels are needed to identify concentrations of contaminant energetic materials (EMs) in soil that present an acceptable ecological risk at a wide range of military installations. Insufficient information regarding the toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) to soil invertebrates necessitated toxicity testing. We adapted the standardized Enchytraeid Reproduction Test (International Standardization Organization 16387:2003) and selected Enchytraeus crypticus for these studies. Tests were conducted in Sassafras sandy loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of nitroaromatic EMs. Weathering and aging procedures for EMs amended to test soil were incorporated into the study design to produce toxicity data that better reflect the soil exposure conditions in the field compared with toxicity in freshly amended soils. This included exposing hydrated, EM-amended soils in open glass containers in the greenhouse to alternating wetting and drying cycles. Definitive tests established that the order of EM toxicity to E. crypticus based on the median effect concentration values for juvenile production in either freshly amended or weathered and aged treatments was (from the greatest to least toxicity) TNB > 2,4-DNT > 2,6-DNT. Toxicity to E. crypticus juvenile production was significantly increased in 2,6-DNT weathered and aged soil treatments compared with toxicity in freshly amended soil, based on 95% confidence intervals. This result shows that future investigations should include a weathering and aging component to generate toxicity data that provide more complete information regarding ecotoxicological effects of energetic contaminants in soil.

The influences of various design, operational, and water quality parameters (filter depth, media size, filtration rate, temperature, turbidity, running time, etc.) on filtration performance were investigated. Statistical approaches were used to develop empirical models, including a head loss model which partially resembles the Kozeny equation, to evaluate these factors. Regression models, validated with data from the field study, were used for predicting the influence of operational parameters on crumb rubber filtration. Sensitivity analyses of the significance of each factor were conducted. Results showed that media size played a very important role in the removal of suspended matter, while temperature, filter depth, influent turbidity, and running time did not have a significant influence. Head loss was most affected by filtration rate and media size. These results indicated that the behaviors of the crumb rubber filtration for ballast water treatment cannot be described by the theories and models for conventional granular media filtration without modification.

The first section investigates the influence of travel direction on GPS accuracy due to the GPS satellite sky distribution. GPS dilution of precision (DOP) was calculated based on GPS satellite geometry at a variety of locations and different mask angle settings. Results show a significant difference between north DOP and east DOP in a mid-latitude area, A clear trend of the 24 h average ratio of the north DOP to the east DOP was found related to latitudes and mask angle settings. Cross-track dilution of precision (XDOP) is defined as the GPS DOP perpendicular to the travel direction. The influence of the GPS satellite geometry on GPS accuracy was mapped into the vehicle platform frame to derive the XDOP, and accordingly to derive the influence of travel direction on the GPS dynamic accuracy. Results showed that the XDOP increased as the course over ground (COG) changed from 0° to 90°. Considering that a regression line fitting through GPS data may be referenced as the true path for calculating GPS errors, the second section reviews methods for fining linear models. The most commonly used approach for linear fitting is least-square regression that minimizes the sum square of vertical offsets, rather titan perpendicular offsets. This approach can result in a potential model fining error, which was found to be dependent on the direction of travel and the dynamic accuracy of the tested GPS receiver when this approach was used to generate the referenced true path for calculating GPS cross-track errors. Our results showed that the fitting error reached its maximum when the tested vehicle was traveling in the N-S (or S-N) direction and decreased when the travel direction moved away front the N-S direction.

Ninety-three percent of recipients developed IgG antibodies to Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) after two doses, and 100% were seropositive after dose #3. Geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of IgG to PA measured before and after each dose were significantly lower after injection #3 (peak GMC=146.65μg/mL, trough GMC=15.16μg/mL) than after injections #4 (peak GMC=430.46μg/mL, trough GMC=94.57μg/mL), #5 (peak GMC=415.05μg/mL, trough GMC=81.94μg/mL), or #6 (peak GMC=401.16μg/mL, trough GMC=96.19μg/mL) (p ≤0.0001 for each); but not between injections #4 and #5, #5 and #6, or #4 and #6 (p ≥0.7923 for each). Decay rates for IgG to PA were significantly faster after injection #3 (half life [T 1/2]=39.21 days) than after injections #4 (T 1/2 =72.03 days), #5 (T 1/2 =70.14 days), and #6 (T 1/2 =74.59 days) (p ≤0.0282 for each). Toxin neutralizing assay (TNA) antibody patterns generally paralleled those for IgG to PA. The 6-month dose in the AVA primary series appears to be critical in sustaining IgG to PA concentrations in a substantial proportion of recipients.

Here, we model oxidative stress in neurons using photogenerated radicals in a simplified membrane-encapsulated microtubule system. Using fluorescence and differential interference contrast microscopies, we monitor photochemically induced microtubule breakdown on the supported region of membrane in encapsulating synthetic liposomes as a function of lipid composition and environment. Degradation of vesicle-encapsulated microtubules is caused by attack from free radicals formed upon UV excitation of the lipid-soluble fluorescent probe, 6-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid. Probe concentration was typically limited to a regime in which microtubule degradation was slow, and microtubule degradation was monitored by changes in the observed protrusion of the membrane surface. The kinetics of microtubule degradation are influenced by lipid saturation level, fluorescent probe concentration, and the presence of free-radical scavengers. This system is sufficient to reproduce some degenerative morphologies found in vivo.

Among male high school seniors, 70 percent of those who express high desire or likelihood of service actually enter the military within six years of high school graduation. Propensity to serve has been declining among American youth, and there are not sufficient high-propensity youth to meet manpower needs, so low-propensity youth must be recruited as well. In this article, we explore the relationship between propensity and motivation to enlist in a sample of enlisted combat soldiers in the U.S. Army. We provide an analysis of motivational data that tests Moskos's institutional and occupational models of service and find the organization of motivations to be more complex than Moskos's dichotomous conceptualization. We find that those soldiers who reported high enlistment propensity before beginning service reported significant institutional motivations to join and plans for a military career. Enlistment propensity was not significantly related to occupational or pecuniary motivations.

BoNT/B LC was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21.DE3.pLysS and isolated from the soluble fraction. The resultant protein was purified to homogeneity by cation chromatography and was determined to be >98% pure as assessed by SDS–polyacrylamide gel stained with SilverXpress and analyzed by densitometry. Mass spectroscopic analysis indicated the protein to be 50.8kDa, which equaled the theoretically expected mass. N-terminal sequencing of the purified protein showed the sequence corresponded to the known reported sequence. The recombinant BoNT/B light chain was found to be highly stable, catalytically active, and has been used to prepare antisera that neutralizes against BoNT/B challenge. Characterization of the protein including pH, temperature, and the stability of the protein in the presence or absence of zinc is described within. The influence of pH differences, buffer, and added zinc on secondary and tertiary structure of BoNT/B light chain was analyzed by circular dichroism and tryptophan fluorescence measurements. Optimal conditions for obtaining maximum metalloprotease activity and stabilizing the protein for long term storage were determined. We further analyzed the thermal denaturation of BoNT/B LC as a function of temperature to probe the pH and added zinc effects on light chain stability. The synthetic BoNT/B LC has been found to be highly active on its substrate (vesicle associated membrane protein-2) and, therefore, can serve as a useful reagent for BoNT/B research.

The suspension conductivities and energy flows were measured continuously. The individual reaction rates for tricalcium silicate dissolution, calcium silicate hydrate precipitation, and calcium hydroxide precipitation were calculated from these measurements. The results suggest that the proportion of tricalcium silicate dissolved was determined by the rate of tricalcium silicate dissolution and the time to very rapid calcium hydroxide precipitation. The time to very rapid calcium hydroxide precipitation was more sensitive to changes in temperature than was the rate of tricalcium silicate dissolution, so that the proportion of tricalcium silicate hydration dissolved by the deceleratory period increased with decreasing temperature. The average chain length of the calcium silicate hydrate ascertained by magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy increased with increasing temperature.

However, it is less clear as to how various combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance affect user performance. The present study investigated the performance of 11 individuals during constant load, demanding work to exhaustion while wearing respirators with eight different combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. Exercise performance time, performance rating, minute volume, and peak inspiratory and expiratory airflow were recorded at the end of each test trial, and independent correlations with inhalation resistance and exhalation resistance were assessed. The combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances were quantified as the total external work of breathing (WOBtot) and correlations between the test variables and WOBtot were also examined. Significantly linear decreases in performance were found with increased inhalation resistances independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001) and with increased WOBtot (R2 =0.92; p<0.001). Performance also decreased with increased exhalation resistance but no significant relationships were found. Minute volume decreased linearly with increased inhalation resistance independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001), but the linear decrease observed between minute volume and WOBtot was weak (R2 =0.36; p<0.05). These findings suggest that WOBtot serves as a reliable estimate of the combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances on user performance during hard work, but that inhalation resistance alone serves as a better predictor of ventilation during respirator wear.

The attenuating effects of trees as well as those due to diffraction over the buildings are investigated. A new radio wave propagation prediction model based on the combined method of ray tracing and diffraction (CMRTD) is proposed. A row of trees is modeled as a two-dimensional (2-D) cylinder. It is then represented by an equivalent phase object (EPO); a row of buildings is replaced by an absorbing screen. The position and size of the EPO as well as the amplitude and phase distributions of the input field at the EPO are determined by ray tracing. Next the scattered field is computed by the Kirchhoff diffraction theory. Among the numerical results are those of the scattering from a row of trees with circular or elliptic canopies and the scattering from a row of trees/buildings configuration. The calculations treat both plane- and cylindrical-incident waves. By comparing the results with those obtained from the exact eigenfunction expansion method, we show that the CMRTD is an accurate and efficient method to calculate the scattering from a 2-D cylinder. Moreover, the range of the validity of using the CMRTD to model the scattering from one row of trees is determined.

Radiation patterns of directive gain for dielectric wedge antennas of varying lengths and different dielectric constants are presented. Both the TE and TM cases are considered. The method is validated by comparison with data obtained from a recently developed more rigorous mode-matching method. Excellent agreement is obtained over the physically important angular range from endfire to broadside for the TE case and over the angular range spanned by the major lobe for the TM case.

This means that when significant changes in operating environments occur--such as the end of the Cold War or the aftermath of 9/11--changes in the military personnel system can take significant time to affect the composition of the officer corps. Changes at the end of the Cold War in the Army officer development system created greater specialization of officers in their specific career fields, which is both understandable and supportable when viewed in historical context. As the nation addresses the officer development system today, the Army should consider returning to some practices implemented during the Cold War to enhance flexibility and versatility among its officer corps in the post-9/11 environment.

It attempts to discern who has the upper hand in shaping public opinion on foreign policy choices pursued by the president: policymaking elites in Congress or the media? Previous studies have shown that media cues are generally inconsequential in determining public support for presidential actions in a foreign policy crisis, particular when placed in a Cold War framework. Even without the Cold War framework, however, the media appears largely irrelevant in determining public interpretation of presidential actions during a crisis. This finding supports prior understandings of a rational public not susceptible to media slant, but also suggests that the president, with Congressional support, has considerable leeway to provide frames of evaluation, and control basic facts early in the crisis to win public support. The implications for democratic accountability are discussed.

Suicide rate estimates were calculated for the military population and each service branch over 11 years, directly standardized to the 2000 U.S. population. Military rates were highly comparable across branches and were approximately 20% lower than the civilian rate. Direct adjustment essentially controlled for the demographic confounds in this sample. Applying the Poisson-based method, we demonstrate that suicide rate fluctuations as large as 20–40% in any year may be attributed to random error.

As mentioned, the courts should adhere to this standard as post-trial delay does not normally affect the findings or the sentence in each case and those cases without prejudice should not receive relief for what amounts to an administrative delay.

MMs are advantageous because they use small tissue masses (ca. 100mg), and maintain sensitivity through reducing final extract volume (traditionally 1ml) by an order of magnitude or more (40μl—PCBs; 100μl—PAHs). Procedural losses occurred in the MMs’ combined cleanup/primary evaporation step (19% PAHs; 6% PCBs), and the final extract concentration (14% PAHs; 22% PCBs). The PAH MM performed comparably to the TM. Although most PCBs had recoveries >50%, the PCB MM generally yielded lower recoveries than the TM. Average method detection limits were 0.6μg/kg (TM) and 1.0μg/kg (MM) for PCBs and 25.7μg/kg (TM) and 27.7μg/kg (MM) for PAHs. MMs described for PCB and PAH tissue samples are potentially viable alternatives to TMs, and could lead to cost savings in bioaccumulation/toxicity tests.

Phys. Chem. B1997, 101, 798] (AMBER-SRT). The results are compared with MD calculations, using the AMBER force field. The predicted densities of crystalline TNAZ from both force fields are about 10% lower than the experimental value. The calculated thermodynamic melting point at 1 atm from the AMBER-SRT force field is 390 K, in good agreement with the measured value of 374 K, while the AMBER force field predicts a thermodynamic melting point of 462 K. The lattice parameters and the molecular and crystal structures calculated with the AMBER-SRT force field are in excellent agreement with experiment. Simulations with the AMBER-SRT force field were also used to generate the isotherm of TNAZ up to 4 GPa and the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative.

Using the PW91 and PBE density functional theories, the unit cell vectors were calculated as a function of pressure and are compared to those experimentally obtained from the diffraction data. The calculated lattice vectors display large errors at low pressures but were found to be in close agreement with the experimental vectors at 0.414 GPa. Comparison of the experimental INS spectra of the TCNE−HMB enabled assignment of specific vibrational modes while providing a direct measurement of the effect of pressure on the complex. The PW91 vibrational frequency calculations reproduced both the vibrational intensities and frequencies with relative accuracy.

Impedance analyses show that LiBOB and lithium are very compatible due to the formation of a stable passivation layer on the surface of lithium. Cycling tests of Li/Cu and Li/LiMn2O4 cells, respectively, show that lithium can be plated and stripped in LiBOB-based electrolyte with more than 80% cycling efficiency, and that this electrolyte can support LiMn2O4 cycling reversibly up to 60°C without visible capacity loss. Using LiBOB-based liquid electrolyte and porous Kynar® membrane, microporous gel electrolyte (MGE) Li-ion cells were assembled and evaluated. Results show that the MGE cell presents an improved cycling performance compared with a liquid cell, especially at elevated temperatures. It is confirmed that the LiBOB-based gel electrolyte Li-ion batteries can be operated at 60°C with good capacity retention.

This algorithm utilizes the zero or the minimum points of the histogram of an image and slightly modifies the pixel grayscale values to embed data into the image. It can embed more data than many of the existing reversible data hiding algorithms. It is proved analytically and shown experimentally that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the marked image generated by this method versus the original image is guaranteed to be above 48 dB. This lower bound of PSNR is much higher than that of all reversible data hiding techniques reported in the literature. The computational complexity of our proposed technique is low and the execution time is short. The algorithm has been successfully applied to a wide range of images, including commonly used images, medical images, texture images, aerial images and all of the 1096 images in CorelDraw database. Experimental results and performance comparison with other reversible data hiding schemes are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

To examine the effect of small amounts of clay-sized particles in bed pore water on the critical shear stress τ c for the erosion of sand grains, flume experiments were carried out on the erosion of quartz sand beds impregnated with clay particles. Starting with no clay, as the clay mass fraction ψ was increased, τ c was found to decrease below the value for pure sand τ co at ψ = ψ m, then reverted to τ co at ψ = ψ r and continued to increase above τ co as ψ was increased further. Post-experimental analysis suggests that ψ r is the pore space-filling fine sediment fraction above which sand erosion is significantly influenced by clay. In the range of ψ ≥ ψ m, slider-bearing type lubrication due to the viscosity of the clay-laden interstitial fluid appears to govern the dependence of τ c on ψ, mimicking Petroff''s law of thick-film lubrication. When ψ < ψ m, as ψ decreases lubrication is increasingly curtailed by grain asperities, and τ c reverts ultimately to τ co at ψ =0. An equation relating τ c to ψ is proposed in analogy with the quasi-hydrodynamic Stribeck function for lubrication. The observed effect of clay particles appears to be significant enough to require its consideration in coastal and estuarine sediment transport modeling. It may also be a factor in the estimation of bed stability when biological activity in the benthic boundary layer introduces fine particles in clean sand beds.

JO - Journal of Applied Aquaculture JF - Journal of Applied Aquaculture Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 18 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 79 SN - 10454438 AB - Recirculating aquaculture offers an economic potential for successful fish farming requiring limited resources. However, this form of aquaculture may present a potential unacceptable health risk for the fish. Pathogenic microorganisms may be incorporated into biofilms found in aquaculture systems, causing recurring exposure to disease agents. The presence of E. coli, modified to express a green fluorescent protein (GFP E. coli) was used to evaluate bacterial incorporation into biofilms in recirculating aquaculture systems. Disks of Buna-N rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated PVC, glass, fiberglass, and stainless steel disks, were placed in aquariums stocked with Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Tanks were inoculated with a known amount of GFP E. coli and samples taken on days 1, 3, 7, and 15 post-inoculation. Within 24 hours post-inoculation bacterial presence was observed on all materials. The number of organisms decreased by day three, but remained consistent during the remaining period. There was no significant difference in bacterial presence between the different materials studied. This study demonstrated that bacteria can become incorporated into a biofilm with the potential for pathogen colonization of biofilms in aquaculture systems.

In both its traditional and its new distance education programs, the Army has established a goal of improving critical thinking and reasoning skills among its students to prepare its future leaders and managers more effectively for the challenges of the twenty-first century. For both the distance learning and the traditional education programs, the successful promotion of critical reasoning and thinking skills appeared to be among the most critical factors in directly or indirectly predicting student satisfaction with instruction, overall training, and usefulness or relevance of training. Distance education formats proved at least as, if not more, successful on a variety of comparison measures with traditional classroom formats when evaluated by field grade student officers. By logical extension, distance education can be expected to be a useful approach for teaching critical thinking skills for civilian management and leadership training programs.

Five different types of inhibitors/film formers were tested, and three different techniques for application of the coatings with microcapsules were evaluated. Laboratory tests showed that when the coating system was damaged by abrasion, the microcapsules released the film forming and corrosion inhibiting compounds. Steel substrates coated with these self-healing systems were scribed and laboratory tested according to ASTM D 5894. Undercutting at the scribe (ASTM D 1654) was reduced by using microcapsules containing self-healing compounds. Growth of coating damage at the scribe was arrested in self-healing coatings with all microcapsule formulations compared to control samples. The performance of some microcapsules evaluated in this study was found to be dependent on the method of application.

T1 - Effects of dietary phytase on body weight gain, body composition and bone strength in growing rats fed a low-zinc diet JO - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry JF - Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 17 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 190 EP - 196 SN - 09552863 AB - Abstract: Phytic acid, a major phosphorous storage compound found in foodstuffs, is known to form insoluble complexes with nutritionally essential minerals, including zinc (Zn). Phytases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of these minerals from phytic acid, improving their bioavailability. The objective of the present study was to determine the ability of dietary phytase to affect body weight, body composition, and bone strength in growing rats fed a high phytic acid, low Zn diet. Rats (n = 20) were fed either a control (AIN-93) or phytase supplemented (Natuphos, BASF, 1,500 phytase units (FTU)/kg) diet for a period of 8 weeks. Phytase supplementation resulted in increased (P<.05) bone and plasma Zn, but no change in plasma inorganic phosphorous or bone levels of Ca, Fe, or Mg. The addition of phytase to the diets resulted in a 22.4% increase (P<.05) in body weight at the end of the study as compared with rats fed a control diet. Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed that phytase supplementation resulted in increase lean body mass (LBM, P<.001) and increased bone mineral content (BMC, P<.001) as compared with feeding the control diet. Bone studies indicated that femurs and tibias from phytase supplemented rats had greater mass (P<.05) and were stronger (P<.05) than rats fed the control diet. This data suggest that the addition of phytase to low Zn diets results in improved Zn status, which may be responsible for beneficial effects on growth, body composition, and bone strength.

Two different graphite/glass hybrid configurations tested under cyclic loading failed by delamination in the tapered region. A 2-D finite element model was developed which closely approximated the flexbeam geometry, boundary conditions, and loading. The analysis results from two geometrically nonlinear finite element codes, ANSYS and ABAQUS, are presented and compared. Strain energy release rates (G) associated with simulated delamination growth in the flexbeams are presented from both codes. These results compare well with each other and suggest that the initial delamination growth from the tip of the ply-drop toward the thick region of the flexbeam is strongly mode II. The peak calculated G values were used with material characterization data to calculate fatigue life curves for comparison with test data. A curve relating maximum surface strain to number of loading cycles at delamination onset compared well with the test results.

[2003. Impact of bubble and free surface oxygen transfer on diffused aeration systems. Water Res 37, 1890–1904] mass transfer model. Two empirical characterization equations are developed for k L a b and k L a s, correlating the coefficients to air flow, Q a, diffuser depth, h d, cross-sectional area, A cs, and volume, V. The characterization equations indicate that the bubble transfer coefficient, k L a b, increases with increasing gas flow rate and depth, and decreases with increasing water volume. For fine bubble diffusers, k L a b is approximately six times greater than k L a b for coarse bubble diffusers. The surface transfer coefficient, k L A s, increases with increasing gas flow rate and diffuser depth. The characterization equations make it possible to predict the gas transfer that will occur across bubble interfaces and across the free surface with a bubble plume at depths up to 32m and with variable air discharge in deep tanks and reservoirs.

It was hypothesized that increasing the solution temperature may accelerate the reduction of perchlorate by overcoming the high activation energy barrier. Results from microwave heating study showed that 98% of aqueous perchlorate was removed in 1h at 200°C. Similar results observed in control experiments with a block heater indicated that the enhancement in the extent and rate of perchlorate removal by elemental iron was mostly due to heat energy at high temperature. The rapid and complete reduction of perchlorate by elemental iron at elevated temperatures suggests that iron reduction process at elevated temperature may be an option to consider for complete removal of perchlorate from industrial discharges.

T1 - Forecasting 3-D fish movement behavior using a Eulerian–Lagrangian–agent method (ELAM) JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2006/02/15/ VL - 192 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 197 EP - 223 SN - 03043800 AB - Abstract: We describe a Eulerian–Lagrangian–agent method (ELAM) for mechanistically decoding and forecasting 3-D movement patterns of individual fish responding to abiotic stimuli. A ELAM model is an individual-based model (IBM) coupling a (1) Eulerian framework to govern the physical, hydrodynamic, and water quality domains, (2) Lagrangian framework to govern the sensory perception and movement trajectories of individual fish, and (3) agent framework to govern the behavior decisions of individuals. The resulting ELAM framework is well suited for describing large-scale patterns in hydrodynamics and water quality as well as the much smaller scales at which individual fish make movement decisions. This ability of ELAM models to simultaneously handle dynamics at multiple scales allows them to realistically represent fish movements within aquatic systems. We introduce ELAMs with an application to aid in the design and operation of fish passage systems in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Individual virtual fish make behavior decisions about every 2.0s. These are sub-meter to meter-scale movements based on hydrodynamic stimuli obtained from a hydraulic model. Movement rules and behavior coefficients are systematically adjusted until the virtual fish movements approximate the observed fish. The ELAM model introduced in this paper is called the Numerical Fish Surrogate. It facilitated the development of a mechanistic biological-based hypothesis describing observed 3-D movement and passage response of downstream migrating juvenile salmon at 3 hydropower dams on 2 rivers with a total of 20 different structural and operational configurations. The Numerical Fish Surrogate is presently used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and public utility districts during project planning and design to forecast juvenile salmon movement and passage response to alternative bypass structures.

The rotation axes are oriented vertically (‘azimuthal rotors’) and are attached to a covalent monolayer grid such as that recently reported in the literature. We calculate the value of the relevant component of the third-order electric susceptibility of the system for a variety of grid spacings and determine that the optical nonlinearity of such a system is not particularly large, at best approaching that of carbon disulfide.

Kinematics, balance laws, and general kinetic relations are developed – from the perspective of multiscale volume averaging – upon examination of a deforming crystalline element containing a distribution of displacement discontinuities in the form of translational and rotational lattice defects, i.e., dislocations and disclinations. The macroscopic kinematic description is characterized by a three-term multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. The micro-level description follows from an additive decomposition of an affine connection into contributions from populations of dislocations and disclinations to the distortion of the lattice directors. Standard balance equations apply at the macroscopic scale, while momentum balances reminiscent of those encountered in micropolar elasticity (i.e., couple stress theory) are imposed at the micro-level on first and second order moment stresses associated with geometrically necessary defects. Thermodynamic restrictions are presented, and general features of kinetic relations are postulated for time rates of inelastic deformations and internal variables. Micropolar rotations are incorporated to capture physics that geometrically necessary dislocations stemming from first order gradients of elastic or plastic parts of the total deformation gradient may alone be unable to reflect, including evolution of defect substructure at multiple length scales and incompatible lattice misorientation gradients arising in ductile single crystals subjected to nominally homogeneous deformation.

In addition, we predict heats of sublimation and vaporization derived from information obtained from the quantum-mechanically calculated electrostatic potential of each isolated molecule. The heats of sublimation and vaporization are combined with the aforementioned gas phase heats of formation to produce completely predicted condensed phase heats of formation. These semiempirical computational methods, calibrated using experimental information, were applied to a series of CHNO molecules for which no experimental information was used in the development of the methods. These methods improve upon an earlier effort of Rice et al. [Rice, B. M.; Pai, S. V.; Hare, J. Combust. Flame1999, 118, 445] through the use of a larger basis set and the application of group equivalents. The root-mean-square deviation (rms) from experiment for the predicted group-equivalent gas phase heats of formation is 3.2 kcal/mol with a maximum deviation of 6.5 kcal/mol. The rms and maximum deviation of the predicted liquid heats of formation are 3.2 and 7.4 kcal/mol, respectively. Finally, the rms and maximum deviation of predicted solid heats of formation are 5.6 and 12.2 kcal/mol, respectively, an improvement in the rms of approximately 40% compared to the earlier Rice et al. predictions using atom equivalents and a smaller basis set (B3LYP/6-31G*).

The technology is suitable for field portable instrumentation due to its small size, high sensitivity, speed of analysis, and low power consumption. However, it suffers from a limited dynamic range and potential difficulties in identifying compounds in complex matrices. The use of gas chromatography (GC) coupled to IMS can overcome the difficulty of chemical identification in mixtures by separating the sample into individual components before detection. Using this approach, IMS technology has previously been adapted to detect biological aerosols using an open tube pyrolyzer and a short GC column (Py-GC–IMS). The open sample introduction tube of a Py-GC–IMS instrument would be a convenient configuration to accept aerosol particulates, and while viewed as needed for aerosol trapping, is not optimal for liquid chemical analyses. To examine the usefulness of an existing Py-GC–IMS system for analysis of chemicals in water, an existing open-port sample interface was replaced with a septum-equipped closed tube injector to contain analyte vapors resulting from liquid injection. Tributylphosphate (TBP) was used as a surrogate chemical warfare agent, and aqueous injections into both closed and open tube assemblies were performed. Sample introduction into the closed tube inlet was also accomplished using solid phase microextraction (SPME) preconcentration. The limit of detection for TBP using an open tube, closed tube, and closed tube configuration with SPME sample introduction was 0.980, 0.196, and 0.0098mg/L, respectively.

Increasing reports of incidence, the discovery of antibiotic resistance strains, and concern about a potential use of the causative bacteria Yersinia pestis as an agent of biological warfare have highlighted the need for a safe, efficacious, and rapidly producible vaccine. The use of F1 and V antigens and the derived protein fusion F1-V has shown great potential as a protective vaccine in animal studies. Plants have been extensively studied for the production of pharmaceutical proteins as an inexpensive and scalable alternative to common expression systems. In the current study the recombinant plague antigens F1, V, and fusion protein F1-V were produced by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana by using a deconstructed tobacco mosaic virus-based system that allowed very rapid and extremely high levels of expression. All of the plant-derived purified antigens, administered s.c. to guinea pigs, generated systemic immune responses and provided protection against an aerosol challenge of virulent V. pestis.

Results show that EIS of the cells varies considerably with cell voltage. In particular, resistance (R sei) of the SEI increases significantly with lithiation and decreases reversibly in the subsequent delithiation in a narrow voltage range between 0.15 and 0.04V. According to the change of the R sei during the first lithiation process, we might divide the formation of the SEI into two voltage regions: the first region generally occurs above 0.15V and the second region below 0.15V. The SEI formed in the first region is less conductive, and that formed in the second region is highly conductive. It is shown that ionic conductivity of the preliminarily formed SEI is greatly affected by the kind of solvents and salts of the electrolyte. We observed that the R sei increases in the order of LiBF4 >LiSO3CF3 >LiBOB>LiPF6 for salt, and of NMP>EMC>MB for solvent. Addition of vinylene carbonate into the electrolyte results in a significant increase of the R sei.

The incomplete portions of two bodies were initially recovered soon after the crash. These portions were identified by personnel at a U.S. Army Mortuary in Saigon and were returned to the next-of-kin. While searching for scrap metal in 2002, a Vietnamese citizen unexpectedly discovered human remains and personal effects interspersed with buried aircraft wreckage. The personal effects correlated with the individuals who died in the 1969 incident. These newly discovered remains and artifacts were subsequently received at the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory, Hawaii (CILHI) for analysis. As part of the CILHI analysis it was necessary to segregate the commingled remains into specific individuals for identification purposes. Details regarding various sorting techniques are described that provide a solid framework for systematically dealing with small-scale commingling. The sorting techniques used in the resolution of this case consist of visual pair-matching, articulation, process of elimination, osteometric comparison, and taphonomy. These techniques, when used in conjunction with each other, provided a solid basis for the individualization of most skeletal elements.

JO - Journal of Heredity JF - Journal of Heredity Y1 - 2006/01//Jan/Feb2006 VL - 97 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 00221503 AB - Pygmy angelfishes (genus Centropyge) are widespread and species-rich in the Indo-Pacific, but only three species are recognized in the Atlantic: Centropyge resplendens on the Mid Atlantic Ridge, Centropyge argi in the Caribbean, and Centropyge aurantonotus in Brazil and the southern Caribbean. Atlantic species are distinguished only by color patterns and are very similar to Centropyge acanthops (Cac) in the western Indian Ocean, raising the possibility that pygmy angelfish recently invaded the Atlantic Ocean via southern Africa. To test this zoogeographic hypothesis, we compared a 454-bp segment of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region among pygmy angelfishes of the subgenus Xiphypops, which includes the three Atlantic species, the Indian Ocean species, and an Indo-Pacific species [Centropyge fisheri (Cfi)]. The Indian Ocean species Cac is closest to the Atlantic species (d = 0.059) relative to Cfi (d = 0.077). The mtDNA genealogy indicates a colonization pathway from the Indian Ocean directly to the West Atlantic, followed by at least two waves of dispersal to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The gene tree for the three Atlantic species is polyphyletic, raising questions about taxonomic assignments based on color pattern. Mismatch distributions place Atlantic founder events and population expansions at about 250,000-500,000 years ago. Estimates of effective female population sizes from mismatch and coalescence analyses are consistent with founder events by tens of individuals in the western Atlantic, followed by expansions to several million individuals.

JO - International Journal for Equity in Health JF - International Journal for Equity in Health Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 5 M3 - Article SP - 15 EP - 10 SN - 14759276 AB - Background: Household food insecurity and under-nutrition remain critically important in developing countries struggling to emerge from the scourge of poverty, where historically, improvements in economic conditions have benefited only certain privileged groups, causing growing inequality in health and healthcare among the population. Methods: Utilizing information from 5,977 children aged 0-59 months included in the 2004 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey , this study examined the relationship between household wealth inequality and chronic childhood under-nutrition. A child is defined as being chronically undernourished or whose growth rate is adversely stunted, if his or her z-score of height-for-age is more than two standard deviations below the median of international reference. Household wealth status is measured by an established index based on household ownership of durable assets. This study utilized multivariate logistic regressions to estimate the effect of household wealth status on adverse childhood growth rate. Results: The results indicate that children in the poorest 20% of households are more than three time as likely to suffer from adverse growth rate stunting as children from the wealthiest 20% of households (OR=3.6; 95% CI: 3.0, 4.3). The effect of household wealth status remain significantly large when the analysis was adjusted for a child's multiple birth status, age, gender, antenatal care, delivery assistance, birth order, and duration that the child was breastfed; mother's age at childbirth, nutritional status, education; household access to safe drinking water, arsenic in drinking water, access to a hygienic toilet facility, cooking fuel cleanliness, residence, and geographic location (OR=2.4; 95% CI: 1.8, 3.2). Conclusion: This study concludes that household wealth inequality is strongly associated with childhood adverse growth rate stunting. Reducing poverty and making services more available and accessible to the poor are essential to improving overall childhood health and nutritional status in Bangladesh.

Typical methods for pose estimation require point correspondences to estimate the epipolar geometry between the two views. Algorithms for determining these correspondences invariably output false matches along with the good. We present an algorithm for identifying and removing these mismatches for scenes generated by a mobile scanning platform. The algorithm utilizes the motion characteristics of a rear-wheel drive sensing platform to identify correct point matches through their common motion trajectories. Our algorithm works in cases where the percentage of false matches may be as high as 80%, providing a set of correspondences whose correct/incorrect match ratio is higher than the mutual best match approach found in the literature. This algorithm is intended as a post-processing step for any point correspondence algorithm and its output can be used in standard pose estimation algorithms to enhance their speed and accuracy. Experimental results show the computational savings of our approach over the mutual best match method, resulting in comparable or better outlier rejection—increasing the true/false match ratio by 2–3 times—in only a fraction of the time.

Specifically, each node uses knowledge of the target under surveillance to determine whether it should actively collect measurements and how far to disseminate the data in order for the sensor network to maintain track of the target. At each node, the resource manager requires only knowledge of the relative location to the target for itself and the active nodes from the previous snapshot. The decentralized strategy represents a modification to the global node selection (GNS) method that exploits knowledge of the location of all nodes in the network. Simulations show that despite the lack of global network knowledge, the new localized management method is almost as effective as GNS in terms of balancing the tradeoff between energy usage and localization accuracy.

Each node consists of an array of sensors that are able to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) to a target. Different computationally efficient node selection approaches that use global network knowledge are introduced. Performance bounds based on the node/target geometry are derived, and these bounds help to determine the necessary communication reach of the active nodes. The resulting geolocation performance and energy usage, based on communication distance, is evaluated for a decentralized extended Kalman filter (EKF) that is exploiting the different selection approaches.

Clifford’s arguments are inconsistent, appealing to the disvalue of likely consequences of nonevidential belief-formation, while also insisting that the consequences are irrelevant to the wrongness of so believing. My thesis is that Clifford’s arguments are consistent; one simply needs to be clear on the role consequences play in the “Ethics of Belief” (and, for that matter, in William James’s “The Will to Believe”). The consequences of particular episodes of nonevidential belief-formation are, as Clifford insists, irrelevant to the epistemic, and so moral, status of believing. The moral matter is that adopting a policy of nonevidential belief-formation constitutes commitment to antithetical principles, viz. (i) our antecedent moral obligation to minimize the risk of harming ourselves and others and (ii) the flagrant disregard for (i) entailed by employing a policy of risk, i.e. nonevidentialism. Clifford’s arguments should be read as demonstrating that a nonevidentialist approach to belief-management constitutes the kind of risk that, in fact, is at odds with this antecedent moral obligation—hence the discussion of likely consequences, despite his claims that they are irrelevant to the moral status of the beliefs yielding them. They are irrelevant to the moral status of nonevidentialism but not irrelevant to the fact of risk. The moral impermissibility of nonevidentialism inheres in the inconsistency of it and our antecedent moral obligations, not in the value or disvalue of the particular consequences of that belief-management style.

This small-scale planned industrial village was designed and operated by David Felt, a liberal Unitarian printer and stationer, from 1845 to 1860. Archaeological and documentary materials recovered over the last six years paint a picture of conditions in Felt's rural industrial reformist alternative and provide a glimpse into the worldview of the community architect. Examination of Feltville and its historical context allows for the evaluation of the potential practical and theoretical contributions of historical archaeology in the study of utopian movements. Specifically, the diversity of sociopolitical ideals expressed prior to the advent of Marxian socialism calls into question the conflation of communalist and utopian social designs in some contemporary treatments.

In this essay I examine the best arguments available for both nationalist commitments and for moral cosmopolitanism and then try to reconcile them within a larger framework of institutional cosmopolitanism or World Government. My thesis is that in an international Hobbesian world like ours, increasingly threatened by global problems related to the environment, trade, injustice, crime, migration, health, terrorism, and war, institutional cosmopolitanism offers the best prospect for world peace with justice.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2006/01// VL - 72 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 478 EP - 483 SN - 00992240 AB - Bacteriophage MS2 is used in place of pathogenic viruses in a wide variety of studies that range from testing of compounds for disinfecting surfaces to studying environmental transport and fate of pathogenic viruses in groundwater. MS2 is also used as a pathogen simulant in the research, development, and testing (including open air tests) of methods, systems, and devices for the detection of pathogens in both the battlefield and homeland defense settings. PCR is often used as either an integral part of such detection systems or as a reference method to assess the sensitivity and specificity of microbial detection. To facilitate the detection of MS2 by PCR, we describe here a set of real-time fluorogenic reverse transcription-PCR assays. The sensitivity of the assays (performed with primer pairs and corresponding dye-labeled probes) ranged from 0.4 to 40 fg of MS2 genomic RNA (200 to 20,000 genome equivalents). We also demonstrate the usefulness of the primer pairs in assays without dye-labeled probe that included the DNA-binding dye SYBR green. None of the assays gave false-positive results when tested against 400 pg of several non-MS2 nucleic acid targets.

We have identified luxS-controlled genes in Escherichia coli under two different growth conditions using DNA microarrays. Twenty-three genes were affected by luxS deletion in the presence of glucose, and 63 genes were influenced by luxS deletion in the absence of glucose. Minimal overlap among these gene sets suggests the role of luxS is condition dependent. Under the latter condition, the metE gene, the lsrACDBFG operon, and the flanking genes of the lsr operon (lsrR, lsrK, tam, and yneE) were among the most significantly induced genes by luxS. The E. coli lsr operon includes an additional gene, tam, encoding an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase. Also, lsrR and lsrK belong to the same operon, lsrRK, which is positively regulated by the cyclic AMP receptor protein and negatively regulated by LsrR. lsrK is additionally transcribed by a promoter between lsrR and lsrK. Deletion of luxS was also shown to affect genes involved in methionine biosynthesis, methyl transfer reactions, iron uptake, and utilization of carbon, it was surprising, however, that so few genes were affected by luxS deletion in this E. coli K-12 strain under these conditions. Most of the highly induced genes are related to AI-2 production and transport. These data are consistent with the function of LuxS as an important metabolic enzyme but appear not to support the role of AI-2 as a true signal molecule for E. coli W3110 under the investigated conditions.

A small ion accelerator is used to produce monoenergetic beams of negatively-charged atomic ions. Ejected electrons (photoelectrons), produced by the collision of the ions with linearly-polarized photons, are collected and their kinetic energy is measured with a hemispherical-sector electrostatic analyzer. The resultant photoelectron spectrum is used to determine the electron affinity (EA) of several of the lanthanides, while limits on the electron affinities for others are inferred. In addition, the angular asymmetry parameters and angular distribution patterns of photoelectrons created by laser photodetachment of several heavy atomic anions, as well as the spectral dependence of those angular distributions, have been determined. Electron affinities and photoelectron angular distribution asymmetry parameters can offer crucial information regarding the electronic structures of these heavy atomic anions, and represent key information for models of these complex systems.

To determine the cause of these large-scale phylogenetic patterns, we examined the evolutionary history of DENV serotype 1 (DENV-1) and DENV-3 in Thailand, where gene sequence and epidemiological data are relatively abundant over a 30-year period. We found evidence for the turnover of viral clades in both serotypes, most notably in DENV-1, where a major clade replacement event took place in genotype I during the mid-1990s. Further, when this clade replacement event was placed in the context of changes in serotype prevalence in Thailand, a striking pattern emerged; an increase in DENV-1 clade diversity was associated with an increase in the abundance of this serotype and a concomitant decrease in DENV-4 prevalence, while clade replacement was associated with a decline in DENV-1 prevalence and a rise of DENV-4. We postulate that intraserotypic genetic diversification proceeds at times of relative serotype abundance and that replacement events can result from differential susceptibility to cross-reactive immune responses.

These waves result in highly anisotropic fluctuations in temperature and wind velocity that are stretched in a horizontal direction. As a result, IGW can significantly affect propagation of sound waves in nighttime boundary layers and infrasound waves in the stratosphere. In this paper, a theory of sound propagation through, and scattering by, IGW is developed. First, 3D spectra of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations due to IGW, which were recently derived in the literature for the case of large wave numbers, are generalized to account for small wave numbers. The generalized 3D spectra are then used to calculate the sound scattering cross section in an atmosphere with IGW. The dependencies of the obtained scattering cross section on the sound frequency, scattering angle, and other parameters of the problem are qualitatively different from those for the case of sound scattering by isotropic turbulence with the von Kármán spectra of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations. Furthermore, the generalized 3D spectra are used to calculate the mean sound field and the transverse coherence function of a plane sound wave propagating through IGW. The results obtained also significantly differ from those for the case of sound propagation through isotropic turbulence.

Longitudinal characterization of monocyte response patterns after trauma may provide added insight into these immunological alterations. Methods: Venous blood obtained seven times during post-injury days 1 through 13 from 61 patients with an injury severity score >20 was assessed by flow cytometry for monocytes (CD14+) expressing HLA-DR or CD71 (transferrin receptor) and for circulating levels of interleukin (IL) 1α, IL-1β, IL-6, soluble CD14 (sCD14), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), and endotoxin. Urine neopterin was measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography, expressed as a neopterin-creatinine ratio. Results: Trauma patients had leucocytosis days 1 through 13, monocytosis days 5 through 13, reduced proportions of CD14+HLA-DR+ cells days 2 through 5, and elevated proportions of CD14+CD71+ cells days 1 through 13. Neopterin was elevated all days, peaking on day 10. sCD14 was elevated days 2 through 13, and there were sporadic elevations of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, PGE2, TXB2, and endotoxin. Sepsis syndrome patients (n = 6) had larger and more prolonged reductions in CD14+HLA-DR+ cells and higher neopterin values, in comparison with uneventful patient outcomes. Conclusions: Altered proportions of monocytes expressing HLA-DR and CD71 and elevated sCD14 and urine neopterin levels, for up to 2 weeks after severe injury, underscores an extended period of profound immunological effects. Additional studies to more fully assess temporal monocyte response patterns after severe injury, including activation, may be warranted.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/12//12/1/2005 VL - 39 IS - 23 M3 - Article SP - 9049 EP - 9056 SN - 0013936X AB - Prescribed burning is a significant source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the southeastern United States. However, limited data exist on the emission characteristics from this source. Various organic and inorganic compounds both in the gas and particle phase were measured in the emissions of prescribed burnings conducted at two pine-dominated forest areas in Georgia. The measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PM2.5 allowed the determination of emission factors for the flaming and smoldering stages of prescribed burnings. The VOC emission factors from smoldering were distinctly higher than those from flaming except for ethene, ethyne, and organic nitrate compounds. VOC emission factors show that emissions of certain aromatic compounds and terpenes such as α and β-pinenes, which are important precursors for secondary organic aerosol (SOA), are much higher from active prescribed burnings than from fireplace wood and laboratory open burning studies. Levoglucosan is the major particulate organic compound (POC) emitted for all these studies, though its emission relative to total organic carbon (mg/g OC) differs significantly. Furthermore, cholesterol, an important fingerprint for meat cooking, was observed only in our in situ study indicating a significant release from the soil and soil organisms during open burning. Source apportionment of ambient primary fine particulate OC measured at two urban receptor locations 20-25km downwind yields 74 ±11% during and immediately after the burns using our new in situ profile. In comparison with the previous source profile from laboratory simulations, however, this OC contribution is on average 27 ±5% lower.

In put data are implicitly mapped into a high-dimensional kernel feature space by a nonlinear mapping, which is associated with a kernel function. The OSP expression is then derived in the feature space, which is kernelized in terms of the kernel functions in order to avoid explicit computation in the high-dimensional feature space. The resulting kernelized OSP algorithm is equivalent to a nonlinear OSP in the original input space. Experimental results are presented for detection of roads, roof tops, mines, and targets in hyperspectral imagery, and it is shown that the kernelized OSP method outperforms the conventional OSP approach.

Animals were pretreated with atropine methyl nitrate (1.0mg/kg, i.m.) to minimize peripheral toxic effects 15min before they were given a 1.0×LD50 subcutaneous dose of a nerve agent. At 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60min after nerve agent, animals were humanely euthanized. Blood was collected and brain regions (brainstem, cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, cerebellum, striatum, and spinal cord) and peripheral tissues (diaphragm, skeletal muscle, and heart) were dissected and processed for AChE activity. All six nerve agents produced maximum inhibition of AChE in red blood cells between 5 and 10% of the control within 10min after exposure. In whole blood, differential effects were observed among the agents: GB, GD, and GF produced more rapid and greater inhibition than did GA, VR, and VX. GF was the most rapid, producing a maximum inhibition to 5% of the control in 5min, while VR and VX were slower reaching maximum inhibition to 30% of the control at 15min. The enzyme activity in the majority of the brain regions was more markedly inhibited by the G-agents than by the V-agents. The G-agents caused rapid AChE inhibition, reaching maximum levels (20–30% of control) at 15min and GA produced the most rapid effects. V-agents produced much slower and less AChE inhibition, reaching maximum (35–60% of control) at 30min. In the diaphragm, VR, VX, and GD produced more rapid and greater AChE inhibition than other G-agents; GA produced the slowest and least inhibition. In the skeletal muscle, VX induced the most rapid and severe inhibition, while GA the least inhibition. In the heart, all agents produced very rapid inhibition, and GD produced the most severe inhibition of AChE activity. These observations suggest that G-agents and V-agents are tissue compartment specific in their ability to inhibit AChE activity.

In this study, two aerobic bacteria that are capable of using RDX as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen to support their growth were isolated from surface soil. These bacterial strains were identified by their fatty acid profiles and 165 ribosomal gene sequences as Williamsin sp. KTR4 and Gordonia sp. KTR9. The physiology of each strain was characterized with respect to the rates of RDX degradation and [U-14C] RDX mineralization when RDX was supplied as a sole carbon and nitrogen source in the presence and absence of competing carbon and nitrogen sources. Strains KTR4 and KTR9 degraded 180 μM RDX within 72 h when RDX served as the only added carbon and nitrogen source while growing to total protein concentrations of 18.6 and 16.5 μg/ml, respectively. Mineralization of [U-14C]RDX to 14CO2 was 30% by strain KTR4 and 27% by KTR9 when RDX was the only added source of carbon and nitrogen. The addition of (NH4)2SO4 greatly inhibited KTR9's degradation of RDX but had little effect on that of KTR4. These are the first two pure bacterial cultures isolated that are able to use RDX as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. These two genera possess different physiologies with respect to RDX mineralization, and each can serve as a useful microbiological model for the study of RDX biodegradation with regard to physiology, biochemistry, and genetics.

The layer composition was controlled by the relative power to 7.5-cm-diameter Ag and Cr targets to be 0, 3, 12, and 22 at.% Ag. The layers exhibit a dense columnar microstructure where the Ag is homogeneously distributed in the CrN matrix. The coatings were vacuum annealed for t a =5–60 min at temperatures ranging from T a =600–700 °C, to study the Ag-lubricant transport to the surface. Ag surface segregation during annealing is negligible for layers with 3 at.% Ag content. However, Ag diffuses to the surface of layers with ≥12 at.% Ag and forms particles with diameters ranging, as a function of T a and t a, from 50 to 1100 nm. Statistical analyses provide average particle sizes of 110 and 375 nm, and surface particle densities of 2×107 and 1.7×106 mm−2, for the 12 and 22% Ag samples, respectively. The Ag diffusive transport occurs 2–3 times faster for the 22% than for the 12% sample. We attribute the increase in Ag transport as a function of the total Ag concentration to a network of pores that form during deposition due to Ag segregation into nanometer-size pockets. The pores grow in width and connectivity as the total Ag concentration is increased, leading to a faster Ag transport at elevated Ag concentrations. Room-temperature micro-scratch tests show that the average friction coefficients and wear track depths monotonically decrease, by 27 and 56%, respectively, when the Ag concentration is increased from 0 to 22 at.%.

Pyrococcus furiosus prolidase is a homodimer having one Co-bound dinuclear metal cluster per monomer with one tightly bound Co(II) site and the other loosely bound (K d 0.24mM). To identify which Co site is tight-binding and which is loose-binding, site-directed mutagenesis was used to modify amino acid residues that participate in binding the Co1 (E-313 and H-284), the Co2 site (D-209) or the bidentate ligand (E-327). Metal-content, enzyme activity and CD-spectra analyses of D209A-, H284L-, and E327L-prolidase mutants show that Co1 is the tight-binding and Co2 the loose-binding metal center.

The β-NTO vibrational frequencies observed differ considerably from the α-NTO vibrational frequencies and normal mode frequency calculations for the isolated molecule. The INS spectrum contains detail unobserved in the previous IR studies, including combinations and overtones of the phonon and internal modes of β-NTO. The INS spectra are compared with periodic DFT calculations to show that the periodic DFT results correctly predict the solid-state molecular vibrational frequencies.

Twelve healthy young (mean age 22, S.D. 3.3 years) males participated by recovering balance with a single step following a forward lean-and-release. Participants were instructed to step to one of three floor targets representing small, natural, and large step lengths. The effect of step length was examined on the primary outcome variables: pushoff time, liftoff and landing time, swing duration, balance recovery time, landing impulse, and center of mass (COM) characteristics. Pushoff and liftoff times were not affected by step length, although swing phase duration, landing and recovery times and the anterior-posterior (AP) impulse at landing increased with increasing step length. The results support the idea of an invariant step preparation phase. Given that our participants naturally chose not to utilize a step as short as they were capable of employing, healthy young individuals do not minimize recovery time nor strength requirements when selecting their step length.

Probe photon polarization states become optimally entangled with the signal states on their way between the legitimate transmitter and receiver. Although standard von-Neumann projective measurements of the probe yield maximum information on the pre-privacy amplified key if instead the probe measurements are performed with a certain positive operator valued measure (POVM), then the measurement results are unambiguous, at least some of the time. It follows that the BB84 (Bennett-Brassard 1984) protocol of quantum key distribution has a vulnerability similar to the well-known vulnerability of the B92 (Bennett 1992) protocol.

Here we synthesize field data from arctic Alaska, showing that terrestrial changes in summer albedo contribute substantially to recent high-latitude warming trends. Pronounced terrestrial summer warming in arctic Alaska correlates with a lengthening of the snow-free season that has increased atmospheric heating locally by about 3 watts per square meter per decade (similar in magnitude to the regional heating expected over multiple decades from a doubling of atmospheric CO[sub 2]). The continuation of current trends in shrub and tree expansion could further amplify this atmospheric heating by two to seven times.

Here, the stereospecificity of the catalysis of cyclosarin (GF, O-cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate) hydrolysis by several enzymes was investigated. Stereospecificity was not evident at 3mM GF but was evident at 0.5mM GF. The differential effect was apparently due to fluoride-catalyzed racemization of the substrate. Alteromonas sp. JD6.5 organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA), Alteromonas haloplanktis OPAA and the wild-type phosphotriesterase (PTE) enzymes were all found to catalyze preferentially the hydrolysis of the (+)GF isomer, as determined by GC analysis of the remaining unreacted (−)GF isomer. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition experiments showed the purified (−)GF isomer to be approximately twice as toxic as the racemic mixture. One PTE mutant, H254G/H259W/L303T, was found to reverse the native PTE stereospecificity and preferentially catalyze the hydrolysis of the (−)GF isomer, as shown by its complementation of Alteromonas sp. JD6.5 OPAA and by GC analysis of the remaining (+)GF isomer. This procedure also permitted the individual preparation of either of the two GF isomers by enzymatic degradation followed by extraction of the remaining isomer.

Data were collected through observations, interviews, paper content analyses, and surveys in an urban military high school. The data reveal how the school's unique military subculture develops students by enabling them to accrue various forms of social capital, including military capital, and by developing cadets' civility, leadership skills and agency, discipline, and propensity for education. Therefore, the institutional product or academy graduate should possess enhanced life skills and increased chances to achieve upward mobility, making this school a potentially powerful educational institution for underprivileged urban-minority youth. Future research should explore how this school compares to other urban public schools, parochial schools, and private military schools and the life outcomes of the students from these different schools. The research has broad implications for the potential power of public military schools, especially in urban environs.

This study reports a systematic content analysis of forty-six films between 1935 and 2002 that spotlight children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults from military-service-related families. The results show a diverse range of portrayals across military branches, wars, genders, races, ages, military ranks, roles, and familial relationships. Furthermore. cinematic demands of military family life are portrayed inconsistently with real life experiences reinforcing a modest civil-military gap. Finally, six patterned characteristics emerge from the content analysis including intergenerational military occupational linkages, social deviance, precociousness, social mobility, youth romance, and parent-child conflicts. The present study partially confirms studies of civilian youth in film suggesting a diverse cinematic experience at the teenage stage of the life course. The results highlight a struggle in the negotiation between self-conceptions and self-images of children from military families where a reinforced stereotype of "military brat" is constructed in American cinema.

The FPAs are background limited (BLIP) at around 76K in an f/1.8 optical system. In addition to the high performance of these C-QWIPs, the corresponding FPAs are also easily producible, making them ideal for large production. We will discuss the optimization of the detectors for different applications. Since corrugated coupling is wavelength insensitive, it is capable of broadband and multi-color detection. We will present a GaAs/AlGaAs broadband detector based on a binary superlattice design. Incorporating the broadband characteristic in a high gain InGaAs/InP material, C-QWIPs with large background photocurrent can be obtained for high speed applications. For multi-color detection, we have investigated two different approaches. One is based on a voltage-tunable, two-color QWIP material, which can be switched between two detection wavelengths simply by changing the detector bias. Stacking two of these similar QWIPs together and separating them with a middle contact layer, a voltage tunable, four-color detector array can be fabricated. A second approach is to combine a broadband QWIP material with a wavelength-selective light coupling method. Using a light coupling geometry to control the detection wavelength of individual pixels, a large number of wavelengths can be detected based on a single broadband detector material.

Adaptive local grid refinement can improve solution accuracy without sacrificing computational efficiency because computer efforts are focused on the rough regions (i.e., requiring high spatial resolution) of the problem domain. To implement adaptive grids, a backward/forward particle tracking technique is applied in the Lagrangian step, and the interpolation errors of the Lagrangian concentrations are compared with prescribed error tolerances to determine rough regions. A modular setting of the grid generation is then used to generate locally zooming grids and to prepare information for applying multigrid methods. The Lagrangian concentrations of the newly generated nodes at the finest grid level are also evaluated by performing a backward tracking. Multigrid strategies which can effectively eliminate the smooth component error through coarse grid correction are finally applied in the Eulerian step to solve the matrix equations for further saving of computer time.

The procedure involves visualization under differential- interference-contrast microscopy enhanced by high-resolution photography and further analysis by computer-assisted imaging. The method was used to analyze spore of Bacillus globigii in aerosols generated by a small (pressured metered-dose inhaler type) generator. Particles consisting in 1 or 2 spores accounted for 85% of all generated particles. This percentage rose to 91% when the same aerosol was collected on an Andersen cascade impactor that collected particles larger than 0.65 μm and was even higher (96%) when particles larger than 3.3 μm were also eliminated. These results demonstrate that the imaging analysis of aerosol particles collected on glass slides is sensitive to even relatively small changes in aerosol particle composition. The accuracy of the enhanced microscopic method described herein (differences between visual and computer analysis were approximately 3% of the total particle counts) seems adequate to determine the spore composition of aerosols of interest in biodefense.

Near the failure location, the bolt was subjected to repeated loading as the Ml6 was fired. In order to determine the stress distribution of the bolt due to the firing process, a geometric element analysis was performed using ProMechanica®. The fracture surface was examined using both an optical stereomicroscope and a scanning electron microscope in order to determine failure initiation and failure mode. It was discovered that the fracture initiated at a localized corrosion pit and propagated by fatigue. A controlled experiment was conducted where 1800 and 3600 rounds were fired using new bolts. After 1800 rounds, a region of wear was observed near the site where fracture occurred in the failed bolt. After 3600 rounds, a notch was observed in this wear region. This suggests two possibilities: firstly, exposure of the base metal may have facilitated the formation of the observed corrosion pits; and secondly, the presence of a notch may facilitate the fracture of bolts in general. In addition, Vickers microhardness profiles were taken on cross-sectional areas near the fillet region and 10mm away from the failed locking lug. Disparities between microhardness profiles near the fillet region and 10mm away from this region revealed that the bolt may not have been uniformly case hardened.

At pre-deployment, general life stressors and pre-deployment stress symptoms were significant predictors of physical health symptoms. At post-deployment, physical health symptoms were predicted by pre-existing physical health symptoms and stress symptoms reported before and after the mission; mission-related stressors were not associated with physical health symptoms. In addition, stress symptoms mediated the relationship between exposure and physical symptoms. Finally, the hyperarousal symptom cluster was a better predictor of physical health complaints than the other symptom clusters. Implications and limitations are discussed.

This second of two studies investigates recalcitrant, toxic, aromatic CL-20 intermediates that absorb from 370 to 430  nm. Our earlier study ( Struct. Chem. , 15, 2004) revealed that these intermediates were formed at high OH - concentrations via the chemically preferred pathway of breaking the C–C bond between the two cyclopentanes, thereby eliminating nitro groups, forming conjugated π bonds, and resulting in a pyrazine three-ring aromatic intermediate. In attempting to find and make dominant a more benign CL-20 transformation pathway, this current research validates hydroxylation results from both studies and examines CL-20 transformations via photo-induced free radical reactions. This article discusses CL-20 competing modes of degradation revealed through: computational calculation; UV/VIS and SF spectroscopy following alkaline hydrolysis; and photochemical irradiation to degrade CL-20 and its byproducts at their respective wavelengths of maximum absorption.

By comparison of IR experimental spectra with that of the synthesized compound, we established that the title compound is the predominant surface species in both instances. Detailed analysis of the IR spectrum utilizing quantum chemical (Hartree−Fock) calculations indicates that intermolecular association through O···Li···O interactions is very important in this compound. It is likely that the title compound in the passivation layer has a highly associated structure, but the exact intermolecular conformation could not be established on the basis of analysis of the IR spectrum.

The preparation was conducted under a N2 flow through two heating steps. First, the starting materials were thoroughly mixed in a stoichiometric ratio and decomposed at 350–380°C to form the precursor. Second, the resulting precursor was heated at a high temperature to form the crystalline phase LiFePO4. For formation of the precursor, the optimized temperature was 350°C for LiFePO4 and 380°C for LiFePO4-C composites, respectively. For formation of crystalline phase composites, the optimized condition was to heat the precursor in a pelletized form at 800°C for 5h, and the optimized content of carbon was 3–10wt.%. In composites, the carbon not only increases the rate capability, but also enhances capacity stability. We found that capacity of the composites increases with specific surface area of carbon. The best result was observed from a composite made of 8.7wt.% of black pearls BP 2000 having a specific surface area of 1500m2 g−1. At room temperature and low current rate (0.02C), such a composite shows a specific capacity of 159mAhg−1. Electrochemical properties and cycling performance of the optimized composite also were evaluated.

An informal survey of 50 high-circulation newspaper sports departments in 2001 found that women constituted only 13% of employment. The Association for Women in Sports Media (AWSM) several years ago estimated that there are about 500 women who work in sports media. As compared to women in sports media, employment of women in other parts of the newsroom is much higher. A 1995 survey of about 200 AWSM members found that although respondents reported job satisfaction, they also reported discrimination and an "invisible" status in their sports departments. Women not only face sexual harassment in the locker room but also in the workplace. As men hold the majority of jobs and authority, the entire newsroom may be considered a male-dominated workplace. Besides discrimination in the workplace women also faces problems with balancing work and family because of the gender-defined dividing line.

A thermodynamic analysis shows that the two forms of selenium dithiocyanate have free energies that are very similar and that both forms would likely exist at appreciable concentrations at room temperature in the gas phase. All normal modes were successfully assigned to one of seven types of motion predicted by a group theoretical analysis (C, S–C stretch, Se–S stretch, S–Ce–S–C bend, S–Se–S bend, and S–Se–S–C torsion).

Thermal conductivity of the composites, determined at various temperatures using a steady-state laser heat flux technique, increased with increase in alumina content. Composites containing 0, 5, and 10mol% alumina did not show any change in thermal conductivity with temperature. However, those containing 20 and 30mol% alumina showed a decrease in thermal conductivity with increase in temperature. The measured values of thermal conductivity were in good agreement with those calculated from the Maxwell–Eucken model where one phase is uniformly dispersed within a second major continuous phase.

Phosphorus reductions of oxidants such as the halogens, mercury, and copper have long intrigued chemists because of the unusual rate equation these reactions exhibit. The rate equation is zero order in oxidant concentration except when oxidant concentration is much lower than phosphorus concentration; then, the dependence on oxidant concentration is like that of the Langmuir isotherm. The rate equation is also autocatalytic in and can be auto-inhibitory in oxidant product. The mechanism invoked to explain this interesting rate equation is called the Mitchell mechanism, after an English chemist of the early 20th century. Investigators following in Mitchell's footsteps noted other shortcomings. Consider the reduction of iodine by phosphorus(I) (hypophosphorous acid). One of the shortcomings in Mitchell's treatment was that he did not account for general acid catalysis of the reaction, including that of one of the products, phosphorus.

The measured data from flight and wind-tunnel tests were compared with calculations obtained using the comprehensive analysis CAMRAD II. The calculations were made using two free-wake models: rolled up and multiple trailer with consolidation models. At transition speed, there is fair to good agreement for the blade section normal force between the test data and analysis for the H-34, research Puma, and SA 349/2 with the rolled-up wake. The calculated airloads differ significantly from the measurements for the UH-60A and BO-105. Better correlation is obtained for the UH-60A and BO-105 by using the multiple trailer with consolidation wake model. In the high-speed condition, the analysis shows generally good agreement with the research Puma flight data in both magnitude and phase. However, poor agreement is obtained for the other rotors examined. The analysis shows that the aerodynamic tip design (chord length and quarter-chord location) of the research Puma has an important influence on the phase correlation.

The modeling of the FANTAIL using OVERFLOW-D. including grids and boundary conditions, is explained in detail. The results of numerical studies of the hovering FANTAIL are presented and are shown to compare well with experiment. Flowfield visualizations are presented and are used to explain how the blade tip vortices combine with the adverse pressure gradient beneath the rotor disk to impact flow along the duet wall beneath the disk.

The performance of several statistical methodologies–linear correlation, principal components analysis, and soft independent model of class analogy–has been evaluated for their ability to differentiate between the various samples. The effect of data selection (total spectra, peak intensities, and intensity ratios) and pre-treatments (e.g., averaging) on the statistical models have also been studied. Results indicate the use of spectral averaging and weighting schemes may be used to significantly improve sample differentiation.

This model includes processes involving ion chemistry, excitation, ionization, and other processes affecting the concentrations of argon and lead atoms (in 9 different electronic states) and their ions. A total of 15 chemical species and 90 reactions are included in the model. Experimental measurements of the temporal dependence of a number of lead emission lines in the LIBS plume of metallic lead have been made in argon and air. The modeling results are compared with these observations and with previous modeling of LIBS of lead in air.

These states include charged, discharged, and over cycled. The lowest internal resistance was obtained from the cell at charged state; the resistance increased when the cell was discharged; and the highest resistance was obtained from the cell at over-cycled state. From the ESEM and TEM studies, it was found that the surface of cathode electrode was porous initially; however, it was coated with an amorphous film and porous features had also disappeared from the cell at over cycled state. In addition, higher concentration of aluminum was found at the surface of the cathode electrode in over-cycled cells. From NMR studies, Li ion signals, which correspond to Li ions in the liquid electrolyte, on the surface of Li x V2O5 cathode electrode, and inside the Li x V2O5 cathode, were obtained. The mechanisms for capacity degradation and cycle lifetime of the cell are discussed.

Lessons learned are based on responses to five questions to the NTRC. What was the best thing about the experience? What was the worst thing about the experience? What one thing was not done that should have been done? What is the most important lesson for similar future committees? Are there any other lessons? Several important cross-cutting themes were recommended for future national review groups: (1) a national review group adds value and (2) the Corps must early on think through the structure, process and use of the review group, including: the group''s purpose, the degree of independence or interaction, treatment of Committee members, the use of the group''s comments, scheduling of group activities, and needs to support the group. While the NTRC found much that should lead to improvements for future groups, it strongly recommends that seeking top professional advice during the course of study is appropriate for the Corps. Committee members found their experiences to be professionally and personally rewarding.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2005/08/13/ VL - 68 IS - 15 M3 - Article SP - 1349 EP - 1357 SN - 15287394 AB - High-melting explosive (HMX; octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) is a widely utilized explosive component of munitions used by the military. Consequently, production and use through testing and training at military installations has resulted in deposition of HMX in soil. Since these areas are often used by birds, the oral toxicity of HMX exposure to northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) was evaluated. Attempts to determine the acute lethal dose were unsuccessful. Initially, 8 birds (1 male/1 female per dose group) were orally dosed at levels ranging from 125 to 2125 mg HMX/kg body weight. A single death at the midrange resulted in subsequent trials of oral doses up to 10,760 mg/kg body weight. Only a single death occurred at 7173 mg/kg. A subsequent 28-d feeding study was then conducted to evaluate the potential for toxicity resulting from repetitive oral exposures. Northern bobwhite were exposed to concentrations of HMX in feed of either 10000, 1000, 100, or 0 mg/kg. These exposures resulted in a clear concentration-related reduction in feed consumption and body mass. Reductions in egg production in females were correlated with changes in body mass and feed consumption. Other physiological indicators were consistent with a considerable reduction in feed intake. These results suggest that HMX concentration is responsible for intense feed aversion behavior and thus not likely a factor that would appreciably contribute to risk for wild birds at military ranges.

Traditional simple random sampling often leads to a duplication of information and to a larger sample than is required. An optimal sampling grid spacing based on regionalized variable theory can greatly reduce the number of sample plots needed given a precision level for a study area. However, this method requires a set of ground data that exists or can be obtained via a pilot survey in order to derive a semivariogram for measuring the spatial variability of the variable of interest. In this study, we first developed a method to estimate the semivariogram of a ground or primary variable-vegetation cover from remotely sensed data instead of ground data-and then used it for determining optimal grid spacing for sampling the primary variable. The method developed can avoid the need for a pilot survey to obtain a ground dataset that has a good spatial distribution of plots and can be used to calculate the unbiased semivariogram of the ground variable when unbiased historical data are not available. This can reduce the total cost of collection of ground data. The accuracy of mapping vegetation cover based on this approach was compared to that generated with simple random sampling. A simple sensitivity analysis was conducted. The results show that this new method is very promising for determining optimal sampling grid spacing for estimating regional averages. When it is applied to determining sampling grid spacing for local estimation, a high correlation between vegetation cover and spectral variables is required.

The problems come up in the context of investigating gun tube accuracy of an M1 Series tank; in particular, for the study of tube-to-tube dispersion. Factors that affect tube-to-tube variability might include the tanks, ammunition lot, ammunition temperature, firing occasions, and so on. Some of these are fixed factors, and others are random factors. The inference problems that arise in the study of tube-to-tube dispersion are somewhat different from those usually encountered in typical ANOVA situations. A unified approach to solving these problems is presented using the concepts of generalized p values and generalized confidence intervals. The performance of the resulting tests and confidence intervals is numerically investigated and is found to be quite satisfactory. Analysis of some Army test data is presented to illustrate the results.

A potential problem with this approach is that most dimensionality reduction techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA), seek to maximize the representation of data variation into a small number of PCA components, without considering interclass discriminability This paper presents a neural-network-based transformation that simultaneously seeks to provide dimensionality reduction and a high degree of discriminability by combining together the learning mechanism of a neural-network-based PCA and a backpropagation learning algorithm. The joint discrimination-compression algorithm is applied to infrared imagery to detect military vehicles.

Setting: Center for Refractive Surgery, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C., USA. Methods: Intraoperative radiometric measurements were made with the Ophir Power/Energy Meter (LaserStar Model with silicon detector, Model PD-10) and the International Light Radiometer/Photometer (Model IL 1400 with actinic ultraviolet detector, Model SEL240) with and without UV blocking filters (BLK 270 and Schott types WG-280 and WG-230). Measurements made during laser calibration as well as laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) procedures were evaluated using a worst-case scenario and then compared with the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygeinists (ACGIH) Threshold Value Limits (TLV) to perform a risk/hazard analysis. Results: Most optical emissions were between 193 nm and 280 nm, and approximately 25% of the measurement result was due to broadband emissions greater than 270 nm for calibration targets. About 25% of optical emissions during LASIK were beyond 230 nm. No emissions beyond 230 nm were observed during PRK. Ultraviolet scattered radiation level was similar between PRK and LASIK. Maximum measured values of 80 nJ/pulse at 14 cm for PRK and 45 nJ/pulse at 38 cm for LASIK were used as the absolute worst-case analysis for exposure. Assuming the worst-case exposure conditions are equal to the maximum measured value during these studies at a workload of 20 patients per day, the cumulative occupational exposure at close range of actinic UV radiation did not exceed the 8-hour occupational exposure limit of 3 mJ/cm2 for any 24-hour period. Conclusions: Scattered UV laser radiation did not exceed occupational exposure limits at distances greater than 30 cm from either laser calibration targets or patient treatments over a workday. Laser eye protection is not necessary to protect operating room personnel since exposure levels are very low even under a worst-case scenario.

Carrier dynamics in the form of radiative and non-radiative lifetimes in GaN grown on pseudo-in situ TiN and in situ SiN nanonetworks by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy have been investigated and compared with those for freestanding GaN templates which constitute the benchmark values due to the high quality. Room temperature carrier lifetimes as long as 1.86 ns could be achieved with the use of TiN network templates. Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy has been employed to investigate the carrier dynamics, carrier transport and non-equilibrium optical phonons in In-containing nitride-based semiconductors. (1) It has been found that the energy loss rate in In x Ga1−x As1−y N y is about 64 meV/ps suggesting that hot electrons lose their energy primarily to the GaAs-like LO phonons in this dilute nitride semiconductor. (2) Both the non-equilibrium electron distribution and the electron drift velocity in InGaN and InN have been measured. These experimental results are compared with ensemble Monte Carlo calculations and good agreement is found.

Equilibrium adsorption capacities and heats of adsorption are important parameters for process analysis and design. Experimental adsorption isotherms were thus obtained for relevant organic vapors with activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) and coal-derived activated carbon adsorbents (COAC). The Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) equation was used to describe the adsorption isotherms. The DA parameters were analytically and experimentally shown to be temperature independent The resulting DA equations were used with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to analytically determine the isosteric heat of adsorption (ΔHs) of the adsorbate-adsorbent systems studied here. ACFC showed higher adsorption capacities for organic vapors than CDAC. ΔHs values for the adsorbates were independent of the temperature for the conditions evaluated. ΔHs values for acetone and benzene obtained in this study are comparable with values reported in the literature. This is the first time that ΔHs values for organic vapors and these adsorbents are evaluated with an expression based on the Polanyi adsorption potential and the Clausius- Clapeyron equation.

However, we can show that Kishino''s knot is not equivalent to the unknot by applying either the 3-strand bracket polynomial or the surface bracket polynomial. In this paper, we construct two non-trivial virtual knot diagrams, and , that are not detected by the 1-strand or the 2-strand bracket polynomial. From these diagrams, we construct two infinite families of non-classical virtual knot diagrams that are not detected by the bracket polynomial. Additionally, these virtual knot diagrams are trivial as flats.

The Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD, has been evaluating conventional and unconventional devices for an extended period of time. Large diameter thyristors have been explored and evaluated at currents in excess of 200 kA. Reverse dynistors, a Russian device, have shown even better performance than conventional thyristors due to their very fine gate structure (10-100s of microns). Fine gate structure leads to faster turnon, so that the switch is in full conduction much faster than those with more conventional gates, which vastly improves the reliability and lifetime of such devices. Silicon power corporation (SPCO) has produced a thyristor with an even finer gate structure than the dynistor. This super GTO (SGTO) also differs from conventional high-current thyristors in that it is modular rather than a single wafer design. Aside from a potential reduction in cost due to improved yield, the SGTO may be easily configured to produce the desired level of peak current by adding or subtracting individual chips in the module. This year, the Army Research Laboratory will obtain the first 400-kA SGTOs, which is double the prior current carrying capability of previous single wafer thyristors. A more critical parameter will be an increase of di/dt on turn-on by an order of magnitude. Single wafer thyristors of large diameter have had di/dt measured in kA/us. The objective of the SGTO switch is in excess of 40 kA/us. This paper presents the first experimental data from a prototype device, rated at 80-kA peak current. Data from this round of evaluation will provide critical design data for the realization of switch modules of 400 kA and beyond.

Although the results of these test sections indicated that the anticipated stresses were never realized by the geosynthetic reinforcement, each test section has provided the geotechnical industry with some very important information about the effectiveness of using geosynthetic reinforcement. The most important information acquired from these previous test sections was the fact that the foundation soils experienced significant gains in shear strength due to the more uniform consolidation of the soft foundation material during and immediately following embankment construction. The New Orleans District of the US Army Corps of Engineers (NOD) is researching the viability of a new design methodology that would adequately account for these gains in shear strength resulting from consolidation. This new methodology was derived via the results from the NOD''s latest geosynthetic reinforced levee, discussed herein.

The large surface area of the uncapped tubules provides the desired rapid absorption of the contaminant while water molecules, intrinsic constituents of titanate nanoscrolls, provide the necessary chemistry for hydrolytic reaction. In this study the decomposition of 2-chloroethyl ethylsulfide (CEES), a simulant for the CWA mustard, was monitored using 13C NMR. The NMR spectra reveal reaction products as expected from the hydrolysis of CEES. This demonstrates that titanate nanoscrolls could potentially be employed as a decontaminant for CWAs.

OBJECTIVE.: Develop a measurement technique to assess dynamic motion of the lumbar spine using enhanced digital fluoroscopic video (DFV) and a distortion compensated roentgen analysis (DCRA). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: Controversy over both the definition and consequences of lumbar segmental instability persists. Information from static imaging has had limited success in providing an understanding of this disorder. DFV has the potential to provide further information about lumbar segmental instability; however, the image quality is poor and clinical application is limited. METHODS.: DFV from 20 male subjects (11 with and nine without low back pain) were obtained during eccentric lumbar flexion (30 Hz). Each DFVs was enhanced with a series of filters to accentuate the vertebral edges. An adapted DCRA algorithm was applied to determine segmental angular and linear displacement. Both intraimage and interimage reliability were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and standard error of the measurement (SEM). RESULTS.: Intraimage reliability yielded an average ICC of 0.986, and the SEM ranged from 0.40.7 and 0.20.3 mm. Interimage reliability yielded an average ICC of 0.878, and the SEM ranged from 0.71.4 and 0.40.7 mm. CONCLUSIONS.: Enhanced DFV combined with a DCRA resulted in reliable assessment of lumbar spine kinematics. The error values associated with this technique were low and were comparable to published error measurements obtained when using a similar algorithm on hand-drawn outlines from static radiographs.

Eight species of Bacillus, including five new species, and one new species of Kurthia were isolated from the cigarettes. Some of these species have been identified elsewhere as causes of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other respiratory syndromes. All of the isolates were facultative anaerobes, and many displayed mucoid growth under anaerobic conditions. In addition, many isolates also displayed the ability to form surface biofilms under liquid culture. Although biofilm formation and mucoid growth were not correlated, the former was found to be much more pronounced under anaerobic conditions as opposed to aerobic ones. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Based on the GPS data, an analysis of the potential for identifying new roads was conducted. Analysis of vehicle use patterns within selected 25-m grids was utilized to identify new formed or previously unidentified roads in the training area. The factors used to determine the existence of these new roads were (1) if a vehicle actually passed through the grid, (2) the number of vehicles following the same trail segment, (3) if the vehicles passed on different days, (4) if the vehicles were in different troops, and (5) if the vehicles traveled in both directions. A site visit was conducted and confirmed the existence of new roads along segments that met all five criteria levels. Military road class 4 and 5 roads were identified at sites meeting all five criteria.

Area wide mobility analyses were conducted using three standard US military tracked and wheeled vehicles over terrain regions representing both fine-grained and course-grained soils. The NATO reference mobility model, Version 2, was used to perform the on- and off-road mobility analysis. Vehicle and terrain characterizations along with different climate scenarios were used as input parameters to predict vehicle rut depth performance for the different vehicles and terrain conditions. The vehicles’ performance was statistically mapped over these terrain regions for percent area traveled and the resulting rut depth created by each vehicle. A selection of tactical scenarios for each vehicle was used to determine rut depth for a range of vehicle missions. A vehicle mission severity rating method, developed at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, was used to rate the selected missions and resulting rut depths.

These military training lands are some of the most intensely used land in the United States, and training requires that vegetation, primarily grasses, be as resilient as possible. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (i) plant establishment and (ii) the effect of light to heavy tank traffic that ranged from zero to four passes on range grasses at the Yakima Training Center, Yakima, Washington. Characteristics measured include the number of 10-cm gaps without plant materials in seeded rows of the target (sown) species, the biomass of the target species, and the percentages of bluegrass colonization, bare ground, and cheatgrass encroachment in tracked and untracked areas. Both stand establishment and the ability to produce rhizomes are associated with the ability to recover after training. The wildryes did not establish well and subsequently had more 10-cm gaps and lower yields than the other introduced species tested. Among the natives, Snake River wheatgrass and western wheatgrass exhibited the most resilience across the different tracking intensities. The largest decline in percentage target species was observed between the two- and four-pass treatments. After five years, cheatgrass was not able to encroach on Snake River wheatgrass, Siberian wheatgrass, and bluebunch wheatgrass plots. Tracking generally reduced the stand of the target species and increased the amount of bare ground.

The purpose of this study was to review our experience with HVEI and to attempt to develop predictors of the need for fasciotomy and amputation in patients with HVEI. The records of the 195 patients with HVEI who were admitted to a single burn center during a 19-year period were reviewed. Evidence for muscle necrosis, to include myoglobinuria and elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, was noted. A total 187 patients (95.9%) survived to hospital discharge. A total of 56 underwent fasciotomy within 24 h of injury; 80 patients underwent an amputation during the hospitalization. Fasciotomy was predicted by presence of myoglobinuria with an overall accuracy of 72.8%. Amputation was predicted by a logistic model incorporating myoglobinuria, undergoing a previous fasciotomy, and age, with an overall accuracy of 73.3%. HVEI was associated with high amputation risk and a low rate of mortality in patients admitted to our burn center. Patients with gross myoglobinuria are at higher risk of requiring fasciotomy and/or amputation.

There are currently no approved vaccines or treatments available for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Standard plaque assays are currently the only reliable techniques for enumerating the virus. Effective drug-discovery screening as well as target identification and validation require simple and more rapid detection methods. This report describes the development of a rapid ELISA that measures virus release with high sensitivity. This assay detects both Ebola virus and EBOV-like particles (VLPs) directly from cell-culture supernatants with the VP40 matrix protein serving as antigen. Using this assay, the contribution of the EBOV nucleocapsid (NC) proteins in VLP release was determined. These findings indicate that a combination of NC proteins together with the envelope components is optimal for VLP formation and release, a finding that is important for vaccination with Ebola VLPs. Furthermore, this assay can be used in surrogate models in non-biocontainment environment, facilitating both basic research on the mechanism of EBOV assembly and budding as well as drug-discovery research.

This approach utilizes multiple Kalman filters, each of which is designed based on a specific fault hypothesis. When the propulsion system experiences a fault, only one Kalman filter with the correct hypothesis is able to maintain the nominal estimation performance. Based on this knowledge, the isolation of faults is achieved. Since the propulsion system may experience component and actuator faults as well, a sensor FDI system must be robust in terms of avoiding misclassifications of any anomalies. The proposed approach utilizes a bank of (m + 1) Kalman filters where m is the number of sensors being monitored. One Kalman filter is used for the detection of component and actuator faults while each of the other m filters detects a fault in a specific sensor. With this setup, the overall robustness of the sensor FDI system to anomalies is enhanced. Moreover, numerous component fault events can be accounted for by the FDI system. The sensor FDI system is applied to a nonlinear simulation of a commercial aircraft gas turbine engine, and its performance is evaluated at multiple power settings at a cruise operating point using various fault scenarios.

This study was conducted to determine the quantity and forms of ammonia adsorbed by clay-sized fractions of soils as a function of water content, exchangeable cation, and organic matter (OM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to evaluate in situ the mechanisms of interaction of H2O, NH3, and NH4+ with the clay-size fractions of a Blount loam (fine, illitic, mesic Aeric Epiaqualfs) and a Fayette silty clay loam (fine-silty, mixed, mesic, superactive Typic Hapludalfs). Due to NH3 dissolution in adsorbed water more total N was sorbed at high (90%) than at low (2%) relative humidity (RH) despite decrease in the amount of NH4+ sorbed. At high RH, the amount of NH4+, NH3, and total N increased by 12 to 23% on the Mg-exchanged compared with the Ca-exchanged soil days. Of the two soil clays, the smectitic sample (Fayette) sorbed more of both N species than the illitic sample (Blount). Samples with OM removed adsorbed significantly more ammonia than untreated samples. The mechanism suggested for ammonia sorption by soil clays is a combination of protonation on water associated with metal cations, coordination to the exchangeable cations and dissolution in pore water. Soil days can retain significant amounts of ammonium in excess of the cation exchange capacity (CEC) and out of competition for exchange sites. Dissolved NH3 constituted the majority of N adsorbed by the sample at high RH, which is typical of field conditions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of various clay minerals on polysaccharide sorption under different environmental conditions, including pH, ionic strength, and cation type. Xanthan, an anionic polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris, was used to represent soil microbial exopolysaccharides. Highly significant effects (P > F < 0.0001) were observed for type of day mineral, pH, xanthan concentration, and electrolyte concentration. Sorption decreased with increase in pH from 3 to 8, consistent with an increase in the negative charge of both the clay surface and xanthan molecules. The presence of 10 mmol L1- Ca(NO3)2 made sorption possible at pH values above the pKa of xanthan. Divalent cations (Sr2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) enhanced sorption to a greater degree than monovalent cations (K+, Na+, and Li+) at the same ionic strength, indicating that cations participated in the binding of xanthan to clay surfaces. Generally, sorption was smallest with kaolinite and greatest with a low-charge (0.62 e layer charge per unit cell) smectite where layer charge originated mostly in the tetrahedral positions. Average sorption was two limes greater for smectite than for kaolinite, indicating that clay mineral composition influenced polysaccharide sorption; however, contributions may not be significant on a field scale.

The conductance values of single 1 and 2 are ∼13 and ∼6 nS, respectively. In addition to a decrease in the conductance, the presence of the nitro moiety leads to asymmetric I- V characteristics and a negative differential resistance-like (NDR- like) behavior. We have altered the nitro-substituted OPE by electrochemically reducing the nitro group and by varying the pH of the electrolyte. The conductance decreases linearly with the electron-withdrawing capability (i.e., Hammett substituent values) of the corresponding reduced species. In contrast, the conductance of 1 is independent of the pH and the electrode potential.

Antibodies, peptides, and enzymes have been used as molecular recognition elements in chemical sensors; however, such devices often have storage and operational stability issues that limits their success. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), have been successfully demonstrated an alternative in pesticide applications [A.L. Jenkins, R. Yin, J.J. Jensen, Analyst 126 (2001) 798–802]. The MIP materials possess selective molecular recognition properties that are complementary to the analyte in the shape and positioning of functional groups. These polymers have high selectivity and affinity constants while maintaining excellent thermal and mechanical stability. In this study, direct imprinting of chemical agents EA2192, VX, sarin, and soman (the “G” agents), was performed and the limits of detection calculated. The ability of these sensors to work in various water matrices including tap, deionized and reverse osmosis water with residual chlorine was also evaluated. Typical detection limits for these MIP sensors are approximately 50ppt with wide linear dynamic ranges (ppt–ppm). Sensor response time is approximately 15min.

This study was initiated to help provide more quantitative data on light element migration to aid erosion modelers, help promote use of environmentally friendly protective coatings, and better understand erosion mechanisms caused by hot, high pressure, light element propellant gases interacting with the bore surfaces of gun barrels. H depth profile measurements showed concentrations up to several atomic percent (at.%) in gun barrel materials after firing. Ion implanted 13C marker layers were used in conjunction with NRA to measure the low temperature diffusion of C in gun barrel steel, electroplated Cr, and Ta (a candidate coating for gun barrel liners), following controlled thermal annealing. Ion beam analysis also showed unexpectedly high (∼8 at.%) N concentrations in the near surface (0–2-μm depth) region of gun steel test nozzles exposed to test firings of high-N-containing propellants. This combustion-induced nitriding phenomena appear correlated with reduced erosion of these test nozzles, suggesting a competition between N and C interactions on gun steel surfaces.

The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine published the prioritized list in November 2003. The work was performed as part of a multinational military effort supported by Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Previous chemical priority lists had been developed to support military as well as homeland defense research, development, and acquisition communities to determine enhanced detection and protection needs. However, there were questions as to the adequacy of the methodologies and focus of the previous efforts. This most recent effort is a more extensive evaluation of over 1700 industrial chemicals, with a modified methodology that includes not only the assessment of acute inhalation toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), but also chemicals/compounds that pose substantial physical risk (from fire/explosion) and those that may pose acute ingestion risks (such as in water supplies). The methodology was designed to rank such hazards from a strategic (global) military perspective, but it may be adapted to address more site/user specific needs. Users of this or any other chemical priority list are cautioned that the derivation of such lists is largely influenced by subjective decisions and significant variability in chemical-specific data availability and quality.

But large-scale models of air–sea interaction, among other applications, cannot afford full microphysical modules for computing spray droplet evolution and, thus, how rapidly these droplets exchange heat and moisture with their environment. Fortunately, because the temperature and radius of saline droplets evolve almost exponentially when properly scaled, it is possible to approximate a droplet''s evolution with just four microphysical endpoints: its equilibrium temperature, T eq; the e-folding time to reach that temperature, τ T; its equilibrium radius, r eq; and the e-folding time to reach that radius, τ r. Starting with microphysical theory, this paper derives quick approximation formulas for these microphysical quantities. These approximations are capable of treating saline droplets with initial radii between 0.5 and 500 μm that evolve under the following ambient conditions: initial droplet temperatures and air temperatures between 0 and 40 °C, ambient relative humidities between 75% and 99.5%, and initial droplet salinities between 1 and 40 psu. Estimating T eq, τ T, and τ r requires only one-step calculations; finding r eq is done recursively using Newton''s method. The approximations for T eq and τ T are quite good when compared to similar quantities derived from a full microphysical model; T eq is accurate to within 0.02 °C, and τ T is typically accurate to within 5%. The estimate for equilibrium radius r eq is also usually within 5% of the radius simulated with the full microphysical model. Finally, the estimate of radius e-folding time τ r is accurate to within about 10% for typical oceanic conditions.

The phase boundaries for existing ferrihydrite gels were determined. It was shown that this ternary system has two different types of ferrihydrite gel phases. The dominant chemical bonds of these phases were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Both ferrihydrite phases transform to amorphous α-FeOOH phase after 6h annealing at T =300°C. The temperatures of crystallization from these amorphous α-FeOOH phases to α-Fe2O3 phases were found.

Sulfonated samples showed an increase in degradation temperature from 432 to 450°C compared to the unsulfonated polymer, regardless of sulfonation level or other processing condition. Sulfonated samples also showed an additional minor loss of mass at approximately 290°C, which was not observed in the unsulfonated polymer. At this temperature, desulfonation or a cleavage reaction of the aromatic carbon–sulfur bond occurs. In addition, annealing the sulfonated block copolymer at a higher temperature (180°C) for an extended period of time also results in a partial desulfonation. These results were confirmed by a reduction in water sorption and in intensity of the infrared bands associated with sulfonic acid. There was no change in thermal stability in S-SIBS block copolymers as a function of film formation (solvent cast versus heat pressed) and casting solvent (six different solvents).

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 2005///Summer2005 VL - 47 IS - 2 M3 - journal article SP - 418 EP - 429 SN - 00187208 AB - This study investigates operation efficiency and user satisfaction for spatial and temporal shapes of augmented force-feedback fields to be used with computer pointing devices in target acquisition tasks. In an experiment, three different force-field shapes at two different mean force levels were compared, with an electromechanical force-feedback trackball as control device and with efficiency and user satisfaction as dependent variables. Efficiency was measured by the time required to perform a certain task, and user satisfaction was measured through a subjective rating procedure. Satisfaction results indicate that to a rough approximation, participants can be grouped into those who prefer high and those who prefer low force levels. Members of the former group were most satisfied with force fields with a gradual start and an abrupt ending. This force-field shape also proved to be the most efficient for both groups. When all participants were considered as a single group, none of the effects was found to be statistically significant. A gender effect was also found; in both preference groups women achieved significantly shorter task completion times than men. Actual or potential applications of this research include enabling computer interaction for people prone to repetitive strain injuries and the increment of efficiency and satisfaction in human-computer interaction in general.

Objective To determine whether antibodies to EBV are elevated before the onset of MS. Design, Setting, and Participants Nested case-control study conducted among more than 3 million US military personnel with blood samples collected between 1988 and 2000 and stored in the Department of Defense Serum Repository. Cases were identified as individuals granted temporary or permanent disability because of MS. For each case (n = 83), 2 controls matched by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and dates of blood sample collection were selected. Serial samples collected before the onset of symptoms were available for 69 matched case-control sets. Main Outcome Measures Antibodies including IgA against EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA), and IgG against VCA, nuclear antigens (EBNA complex, EBNA-1, and EBNA-2), diffuse and restricted early antigens, and cytomegalovirus. Results The average time between blood collection and MS onset was 4 years (range, <1-11 years). The strongest predictors of MS were serum levels of IgG antibodies to EBNA complex or EBNA-1. Among individuals who developed MS, serum antibody titers to EBNA complex were similar to those of controls before the age of 20 years (geometric mean titers: cases = 245, controls = 265), but 2- to 3-fold higher at age 25 years and older (cases = 684, controls = 282; P<.001). The risk of MS increased with these antibody titers; the relative risk (RR) in persons with EBNA complex titers of at least 1280 compared with those with titers less than 80 was 9.4 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5-35.4; P for trend <.001). In longitudinal analyses, a 4-fold increase in anti-EBNA complex or anti–EBNA-1 titers during the follow-up was associated with a 3-fold increase in MS risk (EBNA complex: RR , 3.0; 95% CI, 1.3-6.5; EBNA-1: RR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.2-7.3). No association was found between cytomegalovirus antibodies and MS. Conclusion These results suggest an age-dependent relationship between EBV infection and development of MS.

To evaluate possible mechanisms involved, the present study investigated the gene expression of iNOS, eNOS, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and endothelin-1 in the corresponding organs, and the roles of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET). Materials and methods: LAnesthetized rats (n = 7/time point/group) were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 50 mmHg for 60 min. The vascular reactivity of the superior mesenteric (SMA), celiac (CA), left renal (LRA), and left femoral arteries (LFA) to NE was measured at baseline, at the end of the hypotensive period (E), and at 1, 2, and 4 h later in the three groups (hemorrhage, hemorrhage+NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), an NO synthase inhibitor, or hemorrhage+PD142893, an ET receptor antagonist). Gene expression in ileum, left kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle was determined by quantitative RT-PCR at these times. Results: Vascular reactivity of SMA, CA, LRA, and LFA to NE decreased as much as 98% over 4 h compared with baseline. This loss of responsiveness in CA and LFA was more severe than in SMA and LRA. Gene expression of iNOS, eNOS, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and endothelin-1 in the corresponding organs of select vasculatures increased markedly over baseline levels and the fold increase in mRNA levels of these enzymes and mediators in liver and skeletal muscle was higher than in ileum and left kidney. For example, at 4 h, iNOS expression was over 16-fold higher than baseline in liver and skeletal muscle, but 5- and 7-fold higher in ileum and kidney, respectively. l-NAME or PD142893 partially attenuated the decreased vascular reactivity induced by hemorrhagic shock and attenuated the changes in gene expression observed. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the differential expression of NOS, cytokines, and endothelin-1 in different organs are associated with the development of vascular hyporeactivity after hemorrhagic shock and may account, at least in part, for the vascular bed diversity observed.

This research investigated an alternative strategy of using emulsions to stabilize radioactive particulate contamination. Emergency response personnel would coat surfaces with emulsions consisting of asphalt or tall oil pitch to prevent migration of contamination. The site can then be evaluated and cleaned up as needed. In order for this approach to be effective, the treatment must eliminate migration of the radioactive agents in the terror device. Water application is an environmental condition that could promote migration into the external environment This research investigated the potential for water, and correspondingly contaminant, migration through two emulsions consisting of Topein, a resinous byproduct during paper manufacture. Topein C is an asphaltic-based emulsion and Topein S is a tall oil pitch, nonionic emulsion. Experiments included water adsorption! mobilization studies, filtration tests, and image analysis of photomicrographs from an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and a stereomicroscope. Both emulsions were effective at reducing water migration. Conductivity estimates were on the order of 10-8 cm s-1 for Topein C and 10-7 cm s-1 for Topein S. Water mobility depended on emulsion flocculation and coalescence time. Photomicrographs indicate that Topein S consisted of greater and more interconnected porosity. Dilute foams of isolated spherical gas cells formed when emulsions were applied to basic surfaces. Gas cells rose to the surface and ruptured, leaving void spaces that penetrated throughout the emulsion. These experiments indicate that emulsions may be a viable means for containing RDD residuals; however, improvements are needed for optimal performance.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/05/15/ VL - 39 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3756 EP - 3761 SN - 0013936X AB - A miniaturized lead sensor has been developed by combining a lead-specific DNAzyme with a microfabricated device containing a network of microfluidic channels that are fluidically coupled via a nanocapillary array interconnect A DNAzyme construct selective for cleavage in the presence of Pb2+ and derivatized with fluorophore (quencher) at the 5' (3') end of the substrate and enzyme strands, respectively, forms a molecular beacon that is used as the recognition element. The nanocapillary array membrane interconnect is used to manipulate fluid flows and deliver the small-volume sample to the beacon in a spatially confined detection window where the DNAzyme is interrogated using laser-induced fluorescence detection. A transformed log plot of the fluorescent signal exhibits a linear response (r² = 0.982) over a Pb2+ concentration range of 0.1 -100 μM, and a detection limit of 11 nM. The sensor has been applied to the determination of Pb2+ in an electroplating sludge reference material, the result agreeing with the certified value within 4.9%. Quantitative measurement of Pb2+ in this complex sample demonstrates the selectivity of this sensor scheme and points favorably to the application of such technologies to analysis of environmental samples. The unique combination of a DNAzyme with a microfluidic-nanofluidic hybrid device makes it possible to change the DNAzyme to select for other compounds of interest and to incorporate multiple sensing systems within a single device for greater flexibility. This work represents the initial steps toward creation of a robust field sensor for lead in groundwater or drinking water.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2005/05/15/ VL - 79 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 6152 EP - 6161 SN - 0022538X AB - Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), a member of the genus Nairovirus of the family Bunyaviridae, causes severe disease with high rates of mortality in humans. The CCHFV M RNA segment encodes the virus glycoproteins GN and GC. To understand the processing and intracellular localization of the CCHFV glycoproteins as well as their neutralization and protection determinants, we produced and characterized monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for both GN and GC. Using these MAbs, we found that GN predominantly colocalized with a Golgi marker when expressed alone or with GC, while GC was transported to the Golgi apparatus only in the presence of GN. Both proteins remained endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H sensitive, indicating that the CCHFV glycoproteins are most likely targeted to the cis Golgi apparatus. Golgi targeting information partly resides within the GN ectodomain, because a soluble version of GN lacking its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains also localized to the Golgi apparatus. Coexpression of soluble versions of GN and GC also resulted in localization of soluble GC to the Golgi apparatus, indicating that the ectodomains of these proteins are sufficient for the interactions needed for Golgi targeting. Finally, the mucin-like and P35 domains, located at the N terminus of the GN precursor protein and removed posttranslationally by endoproteolysis, were required for Golgi targeting of GN when it was expressed alone but were dispensable when GC was coexpressed. In neutralization assays on SW-13 cells, MAbs to GC, but not to GN, prevented CCHFV infection. However, only a subset of GC MAbs protected mice in passive-immunization experiments, while some nonneutralizing GN MAbs efficiently protected animals from a lethal CCHFV challenge. Thus, neutralization of CCHFV likely depends not only on the properties of the antibody, but on host cell factors as well. In addition, nonneutralizing antibody-dependent mechanisms, such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, may be involved in the in vivo protection seen with the MAbs to GC.

These viruses were rescued from full-length cDNA clones of 68U201 (VEEV-IE variety) and Trinidad donkey (VEEV-IA/B variety), respectively, and both have a furin cleavage site deletion mutation and a second-site resuscitating mutation. Both vaccines elicited neutralizing antibodies to viruses of the homologous variety but not to viruses of the heterologous variety. Eight weeks after vaccination, the macaques were challenged by aerosol exposure to virulent 68U201. Macaques vaccinated with V3526 were protected as well as macaques inoculated with IE1009, the wild-type infectious clone of 68U201. However, IE1150K failed to significantly protect macaques relative to controls. V3526 has now been shown to protect macaques against both IA/B [Pratt WD, Davis NL, Johnston RE, Smith JF.

Transmission blocking vaccines are a potentially powerful component of a multi-faceted public health approach to controlling or eliminating malaria. We report the first phase 1 clinical trial of a P. vivax transmission blocking vaccine in humans. The Pvs25H vaccine is a recombinant protein derived from the Pvs25 surface antigen of P. vivax ookinetes. The protein was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, purified, and adsorbed onto Alhydrogel®. Ten volunteers in each of three dose groups (5, 20, or 80μg) were vaccinated by intramuscular injection in an open-label study at 0, 28 and 180 days. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were observed. The majority of adverse events causally related to vaccination were mild or moderate in severity. Injection site tenderness was the most commonly observed adverse event. Anti-Pvs25H antibody levels measured by ELISA peaked after the third vaccination. Vaccine-induced antibody is functionally active as evidenced by significant transmission blocking activity in the membrane feeding assay. Correlation between antibody concentration and degree of inhibition was observed. Pvs25H generates transmission blocking immunity in humans against P. vivax demonstrating the potential of this antigen as a component of a transmission blocking vaccine.

The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was taken at various points in the PT program, and injuries were obtained from a medical surveillance system. After 9 weeks of training, the proportion failing the APFT was lower in the EG than in the CG (1.7 vs. 3.3%, p 0.03). After adjustment for initial fitness levels, age, and body mass index, the relative risk of an injury in the CG was 1.6(95% confidence interval [CI] =1.2-2.0) and 1.5 (95% CI = 1.2-1.8) times higher than in the EG for men and women, respectively. The newly designed PT program resulted in higher fitness test pass rates and lower injury rates compared to a traditional BCT physical training program.

I used traps to describe the terrestrial mollusc community in a rare wetland prairie ecosystem of western Oregon, USA over a 3-year period in an adjacent burned and unburned wetland prairie parcel beginning 1 year following an autumn prescribed fire. Species richness was lower throughout the burned area for the duration of the study period and mollusc abundance was lower in the first postburn year, but steadily increased over time, surpassing the adjacent burned area by the third postburn year. According to Multi-response Permutation Procedure, the mollusc community in the adjacent burned area differed significantly from the unburned prairie each year since the burn, suggesting that fire history may structure the wetland prairie mollusc community. Indicator species analysis identified that Deroceras reticulatum and Monadenia fidelis were indicator species for unburned wetland prairie, while Catinella rhederi and Vertigo modesta were indicator species for burned habitat at the study site. Since fire appears to decrease wetland prairie mollusc diversity and abundance, prescribed burns should be conducted in accordance with refuges, to provide a source population for colonizing molluscs and for other animals with unknown responses to fire.

Various phase equilibria are involved in this system. First, the application of scCO2 to a solution of PS can cause the polymer to precipitate. Therefore, the effect of CO2 pressure and temperature on the phase behavior of various solvents containing dissolved PS was investigated, leading to the selection of decahydronaphthalene (DHN) for in-depth study. It was found that the CO2 pressure required to precipitate PS from DHN increased with the temperature. The volume of solutions containing various concentrations of PS in DHN increased considerably as the CO2 pressure was increased. Volume expansions of 35–40% were obtained between 40 and 150°C and between 3 and 9wt.% PS. Moreover, calculations using the Peng–Robinson equation of state showed that the H2 concentration in the liquid phase was higher in CO2–swollen DHN than in the pure solvent, at a constant H2 partial pressure. The rate constant for PS hydrogenation was found to be higher in CO2–swollen DHN than in the pure solvent.

It is shown that beamforming, which is used by orb web spiders to locate their prey in a network of web fibers, can be achieved by applying weights and time delays to the tapped signals from a transducer array in a narrow frequency band to obtain desired directional sensitivities and optimal array gains. The resulting spatio-temporal filters are then used to detect, locate and quantify structural damage. The theory of beamsteering and beamforming for processing propagating wave data in damaged elastic media is discussed. Experimental results for homogeneous and heterogeneous plates are given to verify the theoretical discussions. Design considerations for the phased arrays are examined as are the benefits of nonlinear array geometries for better spatial coverage. The advantage of using adaptive over conventional beamforming is demonstrated with a Frost Constraint adaptive technique.

Applied load increased the displacement, contributed to substantially decreased lifetime and determined the fatigue mechanism. Highly loaded samples experienced domain pinning, while lightly loaded samples suffered from micro-cracking. Lateral and longitudinal stresses had a similar effect.

The thin film fabrication and integration protocols were accomplished via semiconductor industry standard processing methods and procedures. The ferroelectric tetragonal phase of BaSrTiO 3 was deposited by metalorganic solution deposition (MOSD) technique followed by annealing in flowing oxygen. Thin film NiTi was sputter deposited utilizing a TiNi target in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber, followed by in situ vacuum annealing. Comparison of a variety of designs and integration processing protocols demonstrated that the sequential deposition of the BaSrTiO 3 and NiTi thin films, followed by their respective optimized crystallization anneals at 750 and 500°C, achieved successful materials compatible monolithic integration of the composite bi-layer stack with the Si support wafer. The impact of this materials integration technology, based on foundry friendly film deposition techniques and integration procedures, serves to promote wide-scale implementation of vibration control passive damping for a variety of device/die level structures.

Because the order-disorder picture postulates a double-well potential configuration for the ferroelectric displacement of least one ion, we model this configuration empirically for the most active ion in BST, Ti +4 . The model is based on a variational treatment of the Schroedinger equation for the titanium ion, plus fitting to Raman linewidth data for the A 1 (TO) phonon in BaTiO 3 and calculated energies for Ti interstitial formation.

The steady-state displacement was larger for devices with higher lateral stress and devices under low external loading, than devices with less applied stress. Devices with higher lateral stress had significantly lower initial displacement due to stress induced domain pinning. Displacement resonances were shifted to lower applied masses for devices with higher internal stress. The impedance showed a sharp increase at low loading for Thunders TM , indicating an increased absorption of input energy under applied load, though the dielectric constant decreased.

This passive uffer layer thin film was faricated via the industry standard metalorganic solution deposition technique. The anneal optimized Ta 2 O 5 ased thin film possessed an enhanced dielectric constant (ε r = 45.6), low dielectric loss (tan δ = 0.006), high film resistivity (ρ = 10 12 Ω -cm at be = 1 MV/cm), excellent temperature staility (temperature coefficient of capacitance of 52 ppm/°C), and excellent ias staility of capacitance (∼⃒ 1.41% at 1 MV/cm). Additionally, the permittivity and dissipation factor exhiited minimal dielectric dispersion with frequency. The dielectric passive uffer layer film was typified by a uniform dense microstructure with minimal defects, and a smooth, nano-scale fine grain, crack/pinhole free surface morphology. Optimization of the integration design configuration was achieved by evaluating two heterostructure processing protocols; (1) a single anneal and (2) a dual anneal process protocol. Our results demonstrated the dual anneal process, to be an excellent method for realizing the successful monolithic integration of BST with affordale Si sustrates. This work also demonstrated that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch etween the Ta 2 O 5 uffer and BST active thin films in the coplanar device design serves to enhance the dielectric tunaility of the device. The impact of this materials integration technology will promote road scale implementation of affordale On-The-Move (OTM) phased array antenna systems across a variety of advanced communications platforms.

While residual stress can be caused by a variety of factors, grain growth is of particular importance. Using theoretical approaches the stress due to grain growth and coalescence are predicted for magnesium doped barium strontium titanate thin films on magnesium oxide single crystal substrates. Grain growth leads to large compressive stresses for larger grains, while grain coalescence yields extremely high tensile stresses in very thin films. How stress affects defect incorporation, stress relaxation pathways, and their impact on film properties are examined.

Such transitions are required due to the low impedances of ferroelectric slab waveguides, which are dictated by the need to bias these lines with dc fields. The model predicts that proper design can lead to transitions with excellent characteristics, even for strongly mismatched lines. It also predicts large changes in the reflection coefficient with an applied dc bias, which could make radar transmit-receive switching feasible.

The purpose of this study was to characterize these patients, and to develop a predictor of resuscitation failure. Methods:: Records of 3807 thermally injured patients admitted to this burn centre during 1980–1997 were reviewed. Patients were classified as surviving to hospital discharge (“NONFAIL/LIVE”), as surviving resuscitation but dying later (“NONFAIL/DIE”), or as failing resuscitation (“FAIL”). Ordinal logistic regression was used to develop a predictor of membership in each of these three groups. Results:: With respect to total burn size, full-thickness burn size, and inhalation injury, the three groups represented a gradation in injury severity from least severe (NONFAIL/LIVE) to most severe (FAIL). The predictive model had an overall accuracy of 91.6%; however, it correctly classified NONFAIL/LIVE patients more often (97.7% accuracy) than it did NONFAIL/DIE patients (57.5%) or FAIL patients (16.1%). Conclusion:: Patients who failed resuscitation were more severely injured than those who survived resuscitation, but was not possible accurately to predict who will fail resuscitation using data available on admission.

Laboratory experiments indicate that germination of Z. palustris is affected by temperature, dormancy, stratification and salinity. Five trials, conducted at 30-day intervals, on stored seeds were undertaken. The pattern of germination differed between fresh seed and seed-bank seeds. Higher germination occured at 20°C (18–67%) than 28°C (7–60%) and seeds within the seed-bank outperformed fresh seeds (49 versus 36%), in terms of total percentage and rate of germination. Germination was lower in freshly collected seeds and increased after harvest, peaking in 1- and 2-month old seeds, before tapering off (40, 54, 58, 35, 22%, respectively). Stratification enabled a higher and more regularly paced germination to occur. However, no significant difference was discerned between seeds stratified at 5°C for 30 days and non-stratified seeds. Although salinity did not appear to affect seed viability, concentrations of ≥6ppt NaCl prevented germination. These germination patterns suggest that cool water, cold stratification and low salinity are optimal germination conditions.

Taking advantage of the inherent periodicity of woven fabric architecture, periodic microstructure theory is used at the mesoscale for the case of a two-phase heterogeneous material with multiple periodic inclusions. For plain weave fabrics, the representative volume element (RVE) is discretized into fiber/matrix bundles and the pure matrix regions that surround them. The surfaces of the fiber/matrix bundles are fit with sinusoidal equations using two approaches. The first is based on measurements taken from photomicrographs of composite specimens and the second is based on an idealized representation of the plain weave structure. Three-dimensional sinusoidal surfaces are generated from the face equations and weave shape for the real and idealized cases in order to mathematically describe the fiber/matrix bundle regions, which are treated as unidirectional composites. Model results from the idealized geometry are compared to experimental data from the literature and show good agreement, including interlaminar material properties. From a comparison of the real and idealized geometry results for similar material RVE dimensions, it is seen that the model is capable of predicting significant changes in the in-plane material properties from slight mismatch in the fiber/matrix bundle shape and crimp, which can be captured using the geometric surfaces generated from photomicrograph measurements.

JO - Environmental Engineering Science JF - Environmental Engineering Science Y1 - 2005/05// VL - 22 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 294 EP - 309 SN - 10928758 AB - Using a plasma arc torch to vitrify soils contaminated with solid and hazardous wastes produces an extremely durable product greatly reduced in volume and surface area. Although vitrification is understood in principle, thermal and geochemical changes occurring in contaminated soils during vitrification are poorly characterized. In this work, these changes were studied by first constructing a theoretical model and then performing laboratory scale vitrification experiments. The theoretical model is founded on standard heat transfer equations. The model predictions were used to design the subsequent experiments. The model successfully predicted a 100 °C temperature plateau and the width of the vitrified zone formed using kilowatt-size torches. The model indicated that most melting occurs in the first 30 min after the torch is turned on, suggesting that powering the torch for long periods of time is inefficient. The model also showed that melting below the groundwater table is energy inefficient. Laboratory experiments were conducted by filling a 4-foot tall, 4-foot diameter cylinder with compacted soil doped with CsHCO and HoO and inserting a plasma torch in a centrally located borehole. Thermocouples installed at various distances from the torch revealed an extremely steep thermal gradient. Soil and glass samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The glasses produced were more homogenous than the starting soil, indicating vigorous convection within the molten zone. Water, organic compounds, and silica were strongly volatilized during vitrification; lead (Pb) had the highest volatility of all trace elements studied, and no significant cesium volatility was observed.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics & Frequency Control JF - IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics & Frequency Control Y1 - 2005/05// VL - 52 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 822 EP - 833 SN - 08853010 AB - Causality imposes restrictions on both the time-domain and frequency-domain responses of a system. The Kramers-Kronig (K-K) relations relate the real and imaginary parts of the frequency-domain response. In ultrasonics, K-K relations often are used to link attenuation and dispersion. We review both integral and differential forms of the frequency-domain K-K relations that are relevant to theoretical models and laboratory measurements. We consider two methods for implementing integral K-K relations for the case of finite-bandwidth data, namely, extrapolation of data and restriction of integration limits. For the latter approach, we discuss the accuracy of K-K predictions for specific classes of system behavior and how the truncation of the integrals affects this accuracy. We demonstrate the accurate prediction of attenuation and dispersion using several forms of the K-K relations relevant to experimental measurements of media with attenuation coefficients obeying a frequency power law and media consisting of resonant scatterers. We also review the time-causal relations that describe the time-domain consequences of causality in the wave equation. These relations can be thought of as time-domain analogs of the (frequency-domain) K-K relations. Causality-imposed relations, such as the K-K and time-causal relations, provide useful tools for the analysis of measurements and models of acoustic systems.

The best accuracy was achieved at the oxygen content ca. 9%, which was the maximal possible oxygen content in helium for this GC–atomic emission detection (helium flow rate was 25mlmin−1). Using the maximal oxygen flow in plasma the n C/n H ratio determination accuracy improvement was accompanied by 10-fold increase in detection limit.

JO - Environmental Science & Technology JF - Environmental Science & Technology Y1 - 2005/04/15/ VL - 39 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2880 EP - 2887 SN - 0013936X AB - This work examines the effects of adding coke or activated carbon on the bioavailability of polychiorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in contaminated sediment from South Basin at Hunters Point, San Francisco Bay. We show with 28-day sediment exposure tests that PCB bioaccumulation in a polychaete (Neanthes are naceodentata) is reduced by 82% following 1-month contact of sediment with activated carbon and by 87% following 6-months contact of sediment with activated carbon. PCB bioaccumulation in an amphipod (Leptocheirus plumulosus) is reduced by 70% following 1-month contact of sediment with activated carbon and by 75% after 6-months contact of sediment with activated carbon. Adding coke had a negligible effect on reducing PCB bioaccumulation, probably because of the low specific surface area and the slow kinetics of PCB diffusion into the solid coke particles. Reductions in congener bioaccumulation with activated carbon were inversely related to congener Kow, suggesting that the efficacy of activated carbon is controlled by the mass-transfer rate of PCBs from sediment and into activated carbon. We find that reductions in aqueous PCB concentrations in equilibrium with the sediment were similar to reductions in PCB bioaccumulation. While no lethality was observed following activated carbon addition, growth rates were reduced by activated carbon for the polychaete, but not for the amphipod, suggesting the need for further study of the potential impacts of activated carbon on exposed communities. The study suggests that treatment of the biologically active layer of contaminated sediments with activated carbon may be a promising in- situ technique for reducing the bioavailability of sediment- associated PCBs and other hydrophobic organic compounds.

Over the past century, however, there has been a high loss of coastal wetlands of about 4800km2. The main causes of this loss are the near complete isolation of the river from the delta, mostly due to the construction of flood control levees, and pervasive hydrological disruption of the deltaic plain. There is presently a large-scale State-Federal program to restore the delta that includes construction of water control structures in the flood control levees to divert river water into deteriorating wetlands and pumping of dredged sediment, often for long distances, for marsh creation. Global climate change and decreasing availability and increasing cost of energy are likely to have important implications for delta restoration. Coastal restoration efforts will have to be more intensive to offset the impacts of climate change including accelerated sea level rise and changes in precipitation patterns. Future coastal restoration efforts should also focus on less energy-intensive, ecologically engineered management techniques that use the energies of nature as much as possible. Diversions may be as important for controlling salinity as for providing sediments and nutrients for restoring coastal wetlands. Energy-intensive pumping-dredged sediments for coastal restoration will likely become much more expensive in the future.

The model was planted with Schoenoplectus californicus and designed to reduce copper, mercury, and metal-related toxicity in a wastestream. The sediments of the model were varied during construction to provide a control and two levels of sulfate treatment, thus allowing characterization of sulfate’s effect on mercury methylation and bioaccumulation in periphyton and two species of fish––eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) and lake chubsucker (Erimyzon sucetta). After one year in the experimental model, mean dry-weight normalized total mercury concentrations in mosquitofish from the non-sulfate treated controls (374±77ng/g) and the reference location (233±17ng/g) were significantly lower than those from the low and high sulfate treatments (520±73 and 613±80ng/g, respectively). For lake chubsucker, mean total mercury concentration in fish from the high sulfate treatment (276±63ng/g) was significantly elevated over that observed in the control (109±47ng/g), the low sulfate treatment (122±42ng/g), and the reference population (41±2ng/g). Mercury in periphyton was mostly inorganic as methylmercury ranged from 6.6ng/g (dry weight) in the control to 9.8ng/g in the high sulfate treatment, while total mercury concentrations ranged from 1147ng/g in the control to a high of 1297ng/g in the low sulfate treatment. Fish methylmercury bioaccumulation factors from sediment ranged from 52 to 390 and from 495 to 3059 for water. These results suggest that sulfate treatments add a factor of risk due to elevated production of methylmercury in sediment and porewater which biomagnified into small fish, and may potentially increase through the food web.

However, the resistance and capacitance between the layers can significantly alter the electrical performance of a waveguide modulator. These interface characteristics are related to the boundary charge density and are strongly affected by the adhesion of the Layers in the waveguide stack. An electrical reactance model has been derived to investigate this phenomenon at low frequencies. The model shows the waveguide stack frequency response has no limiting effects below the microwave range and that a true dc response requires a stable voltage for over 1000 h. Thus, reactance of the layers is the key characteristic of optimizing the voltage across the core layer, even at very low frequencies (> 10-6 Hz). The results of the model are compared with experimental data for two polymer systems and show quite good correlation.

Its tensile stress-strain response in the axial direction is linear and elastic until failure. However, the overall deformation in the transverse directions is nonlinear and nonelastic, although it can be treated linearly and elastically in infinitesimal strain range. For a linear, elastic, and transversely isotropic material, five material constants are needed to describe its stress-strain response. In this paper, stress-strain behavior obtained from experiments on a single Kevlar KM2 fiber are presented and discussed. The effects of loading rate and the influence of axial loading on transverse and transverse loading on axial stress-strain responses are also discussed.

Vaccines have been used to protect against ARD; however, these are not always available or effective. Methods: The medical literature (1963–2004) on preventive nonvaccine ARD interventions (NOVARDIs) for infectious diseases, which addressed personal measures, administrative controls, and engineering controls, was studied during 2000 to 2004. Population-based studies in community settings (non-health care) were reviewed in detail to evaluate the effectiveness of NOVARDIs. Budgetary and logistic factors as well as acceptance were considered in formulating recommendations for implementation of NOVARDIs in military training centers. Results: Thirty-eight population-based studies contained in 35 publications were examined. Three studies contained information on multiple NOVARDIs. Nine studies supported the use of personal measures relating to hand hygiene. Ten studies supported administrative controls such as cohorting military training units to reduce contact between units (4 studies), providing adequate personal space to reduce crowding (5), and cloth barriers between beds (1); and 14 studies supported the use of engineering controls such as increased indoor air dilution and ventilation (2), dust suppression (4), and air sterilization (8). Conclusions: Promoting hand hygiene and reducing crowding through the provision of adequate living space and cohorting of training units may offer benefits in respiratory disease control. These interventions, along with UV lights and air dilution/ventilation, deserve further evaluation in controlled studies to assess their efficacy. NOVARDIs could benefit military and other populations living in close contact.

The vibrational frequencies of the divinyl sulfoxide molecule were analyzed using standard quantum chemical techniques. Frequencies were calculated at the MP2 and DFT levels of theory using the standard 6-311G* basis set. The molecule exists normally in a Cs configuration. High-energy forms of divinyl sulfoxide with CS and C1 symmetries also exist.

To test possible delayed effects of these agents, we exposed rats to low (subsymptomatic) levels of sarin (0.5 LD50 s.c. 3 times weekly) and/or PB (80 mg/L in drinking water) for 3 weeks. Controls received saline s.c. and tap water. At 2, 4 and 16 weeks after exposure, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and glucose utilization (rCGU) were measured in conscious animals with the Iodo-14C-antipyrine and 14C-2 deoxyglucose methods, respectively. Two weeks after exposure, PB+sarin caused significant rCBF elevations, but no changes in rCGU, in neocortex, with lesser effects on allocortex. Four weeks after exposure, the same general pattern was found with sarin. Only a few changes were found at 16 weeks post-treatment. The predominant effects of sarin or PB+sarin on rCBF at earlier times after treatment are consistent with the well known direct cerebral vascular effect of cholinergic agonists. The lack of changes in rCBF and rCGU observed at 16 weeks after treatment does not support the hypothesis that repeat exposure to low-dose cholinesterase inhibitors can generate permanent alterations in cerebral activity.

Data collection and visualization of this field provide a useful diagnostic tool to better understand electromagnetic launcher operation. This paper outlines an effort to visualize these fields during firing. The diagnostic tool is based on a ferrofluid that becomes strongly polarized in the presence of a magnetic field. A commercial off-the-shelf flexible film, incorporating microencapsulated ferrofluid, was draped along the top of a railgun during operation. High-speed video capture of launch provided proof of principle that the dynamics of magnetic field formation could be recorded. Conformal mapping of the video provided quantitative contours for validation of numerical models.

In this paper, we use a recently developed hybrid explicit/implicit solvent methodology to evaluate the accuracy of several Poisson-based implicit solvent models. Specifically, we focus on the calculation of electrostatic solvation free energies of various fixed conformations for two proteins. We show that, among various dielectric boundary definitions, the Lee−Richards molecular surface has the best agreement with hybrid solvent results. Furthermore, certain modifications of the molecular surface Poisson protocol provide varied results. For instance, simple modifications of atomic radii on charged residues generally improve absolute errors but do not significantly reduce relative errors among conformations. On the other hand, using a water-probe radius of 1.0 Å, as opposed to the standard value of 1.4 Å, to generate the molecular surface, moderately improves both absolute and relative results.

JO - Journal of the American Chemical Society JF - Journal of the American Chemical Society Y1 - 2005/03/16/ VL - 127 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 3400 EP - 3405 SN - 00027863 AB - A set of carboxylate-functionalized poly(phenylene ethynylene)s (PPEs) has been synthesized in which the carboxylic acid groups are separated from the polymer backbone by oligo(ethylene glycol) spacer units. These polymers are soluble in water and organic solvents and have photophysical properties that are sensitive to solvent conditions, with high salt content and the absence of surfactant promoting the formation of aggregates of relatively low quantum yield and long fluorescence lifetime. Quenching of these materials by the dinitrophenyl (DNP) chromophore (Ksv ∼ 104) is also highly solvent-dependent. The presence of carboxylate groups far from the polymer backbone appended to each repeating unit allows for the postpolymerization modification of these PPEs with peptides by methods analogous to those described for carboxylate-functionalized small-molecule dyes. Covalent attachment of the fluorescence-quenching 14-mer Lys(DNP)-GPLGMRGLGG0GK to the PPE results in a nonemissive substrate whose fluorescence is restored upon treatment with trypsin. The rate of fluorescence turn-on in this case is increased 3-fold by the presence of surfactant, though the actual rate of peptide hydrolysis remains the same. A small-molecule mimic of the polymer-peptide system shows a smaller fluorescence enhancement upon treatment with trypsin, illustrating the value of polymer-based amplification in this sensory scheme.

JO - Journal of Bacteriology JF - Journal of Bacteriology Y1 - 2005/03/15/ VL - 187 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 2066 EP - 2076 SN - 00219193 AB - Bacterial autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is proposed to be an interspecies mediator of cell-cell communication that enables cells to operate at the multicellular level. Many environmental stimuli have been shown to affect the extracellular AI-2 levels, carbon sources being among the most important. In this report, we show that both AI-2 synthesis and uptake in Escherichia coil are subject to catabolite repression through the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-CRP complex, which directly stimulates transcription of the lsr (for ‘luxS regulated’) operon and indirectly represses luxS expression. Specifically, cAMP-CRP is shown to bind to a CRP binding site located in the upstream region of the lsr promoter and works with the LsrR repressor to regulate AI-2 uptake. The functions of the lsr operon and its regulators, LsrR and LsrK, previously reported in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, are confirmed here for E. coil. The elucidation of cAMP-CRP involvement in E. coil autoinduction impacts many areas, including the growth of E. coli in fermentation processes.

Conductivities were studied over the temperature range +25 to -40 °C, and for all three gels, the temperature dependence of the conductivities was found to follow the VTF equation, which is consistent with the free volume model for ion transport. For the gel containing 5 mass % EMI-BETI, transport numbers were determined from +50 to -20 °C and were found to decrease as the temperature decreased. Although there are no theoretical models to treat and interpret the temperature dependence of transport numbers, we found that a modified VTF equation resulted in an excellent fit to the temperature dependence of the transport number, which is another confirmation of a free volume model for transport in these gelled polymer electrolytes.

We report the crystal structure of serotype A HA33 (HA33/A) at 1.5Å resolution that contains a unique domain organization and a carbohydrate recognition site. In addition, sequence alignments of the other toxin complex components, including the neurotoxin BoNT/A, hemagglutinating protein HA17/A, and non-toxic non-hemagglutinating protein NTNHA/A, suggests that most of the toxin complex consists of a reoccurring β-trefoil fold.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2005/03/03/ VL - 109 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 3793 EP - 3799 SN - 15206106 AB - In this paper, we first report a novel biosensor for the detection of paraoxon based on (CdSe)ZnS core−shell quantum dots (QDs) and an organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) bioconjugate. The OPH was coupled to (CdSe)ZnS core−shell QDs through electrostatic interaction between negatively charged QDs surfaces and the positively charged protein side chain and ending groups (−NH2). Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy showed no significant change in the secondary structure of OPH after the bioconjugation, which indicates that the activity of OPH was preserved. Detectable secondary structure changes were observed by CD spectroscopy when the OPH/QDs bioconjugate was exposed to organophosphorus compounds such as paraoxon. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic study showed that the PL intensity of the OPH/QDs bioconjugate was quenched in the presence of paraoxon. The overall quenching percentage as a function of paraoxon concentration matched very well with the Michaelis−Menten equation. This result indicated that the quenching of PL intensity was caused by the conformational change in the enzyme, which is confirmed by CD measurements. The detection limit of paraoxon concentration using OPH/QDs bioconjugate was about 10-8 M. Although increasing the OPH molar ratio in the bioconjugates will slightly increase the sensitivity of biosensor, no further increase of sensitivity was achieved when the molar ratio of OPH to QDs was greater than 20 because the surface of QDs was saturated by OPH. These properties make the OPH/QDs bioconjugate a promising biosensor for the detection of organophosphorus compounds.

JO - American Journal of Psychiatry JF - American Journal of Psychiatry Y1 - 2005/03// VL - 162 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 585 EP - 591 SN - 0002953X AB - Objective: A recent study showed that among U.S. military personnel, mental disorders were the leading medical correlate of separation from military service. The reasons for this association have not been determined. The purpose of this study was to characterize the risk and reasons for service separation for soldiers hospitalized with mental disorders compared with those hospitalized for other illnesses. Method: Population-based electronic health care data were linked with data on separations and disability. The authors constructed a cohort of 13,971 U.S. Army soldiers first hospitalized in 1998 and followed them for up to 2 years following this first hospitalization. Results: The rate of service separation 6 months after first hospitalization was 45% among personnel whose primary hospital discharge diagnosis was a mental disorder, 27% among those with a secondary mental disorder discharge diagnosis, and 11% among those hospitalized for all other medical conditions. Separation from military service due to medical disability, misconduct and other legal problems, unauthorized work absences, behavior related to personality disorders, and alcohol rehabilitation failure was significantly more common following hospitalization for a mental disorder than for other medical conditions. Mental disorders were also significantly associated with medical separations in which there was evidence that the condition existed prior to service. Conclusions: In the military, the occupational impact of mental disorders compared with other medical conditions appears to be mediated not only by greater disease chronicity and severity but also by a variety of behavioral problems including misconduct, legal problems, unauthorized absences, and alcohol/drug-related problems. The study also points to the difficulties inherent in screening for mental disorders prior to entry into military service.

In this fast--paced, acute care environment, the staff never imagined they'd face problems not related to combat. But they learned quickly that diseases and conditions rarely seen in the U.S. are quite common elsewhere and quite common in a war fought on foreign soil. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disorder that affects more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. and approximately 2 percent to 3 percent of the world's population.

JO - Environmental Forensics JF - Environmental Forensics Y1 - 2005/03// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 45 EP - 55 SN - 15275922 AB - Field sampling experiments were conducted at various locations on training ranges at three military installations within North America. The areas investigated included an anti-tank range firing point, an anti-tank range impact area, an artillery-range firing point, and an artillery-range impact area. The purpose of this study was to develop practical sampling strategies to reliably estimate mean concentrations of residues from munitions found in surface soil at various types of live-fire training ranges. The ranges studied differ in the types of energetic residues deposited and the mode of deposition. In most cases, the major source zones for these residues are the top two or three centimeters of soil. Multi-increment sampling was used to reduce the variance between field sample replicates and to enhance sample representativeness. Based on these criteria the results indicate that a single or a few discrete samples do not provide representative data for these types of sites. However, samples built from at least 25 increments provided data that was sufficiently representative to allow for the estimation of energetic residue mass loading in surface soils and to characterize the training activity at a given location, thereby addressing two objectives that frequently are common to both environmental and forensic investigations.

After H2O2 application, the values of Freundlich coefficient K1 were increased by ∼160% for the average and high pH soils and by ∼120% for the high Fe soil, showing that the soils became more favorable for TNT sorption after H2O2 application. Nonlinearity in terms of the Freundlich exponent n was increased by ∼40% for the average and high pH soils and by ∼30% for the high Fe soil, showing greater sorption affinity of TNT for the oxidized soils at lower TNT concentrations and also implying greater TNT availability for transport at high concentrations. The increase in sorption extent for the H2O2-oxidized soils was presumably attributed to the oxygen-induced enhancement in the sorption capacity of the soils and the more dominant contribution of clay minerals to sorption. Therefore, enhanced sorption following H2O2 application may inhibit the subsequent formation of a TNT plume after either source zone remediation or plume remediation using H2O2 such as Fenton oxidation.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2005/02/22/ VL - 102 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 2880 EP - 2885 SN - 00278424 AB - Professional antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in regulating T cell immune responses at both systemic and mucosal sites. Many Lactobadilus species are normal members of the human gut microflora and most are regarded as safe when administered as probiotics. Because DCs can naturally or therapeutically encounter lactobacilli, we investigated the effects of several well defined strains, representing three species of Lactobadillus on human myeloid DCs (MDCs) and found that they modulated the phenotype and functions of human MDCs. Lactobacillus-eX posed MDCs up-regulated EILA-DR, CD83, CD40, CD80, and CD86 and secreted high levels of IL-12 and IL-18, but not IL-10. IL-12 was sustained in MDCs exposed to all three Lactobaclilus species in the presence of LPS from Escherlchia coil, whereas LPS-induced IL-10 was greatly inhibited. MDCs activated with lactobacilli clearly skewed CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to T helper T and TC1 polarization, as evidenced by secretion of IFN-γ, but not IL-4 or IL-13. These results emphasize a potentially important role for lactobacilli in modulating immunological functions of DCs and suggest that certain strains could be particularly advantageous as vaccine adjuvants, by promoting DCs to regulate T cell responses toward T helper 1 and Tc1 pathways.

Methods: Cognitive and physiologic markers of stress were evaluated before, during, and after an intense training exercise conducted for 53 hours in the heat. Cognitive performance, mood, physical activity, sleep, body composition, hydration, and saliva cortisol, testosterone, and melatonin were assessed. Volunteers were 31 male U.S. Army officers from an elite unit, aged 31.6 ± .4 years. Results: Wrist activity monitors documented that soldiers slept only 3.0 ± .3 hours during the exercise and were active throughout. Volunteers lost 4.1 ± .2 kg (p < .001) of weight, predominately water (3.1 ± .3 L) (p < .001). Substantial degradation in cognitive function, assessed with computerized tests, occurred. Vigilance, reaction time, attention, memory, and reasoning were impaired (p < .001). Mood, including vigor (p < .001), fatigue (p < .001), confusion (p < .001), depression (p < .001), and tension (p < .002), assessed by questionnaire, deteriorated. The highest cortisol and testosterone levels were observed before the exercise. Conclusions: This study quantifies the overwhelmingly adverse impact of multiple stressors on cognitive performance, mood, and physiologic parameters, during a continuous but brief military exercise conducted by highly motivated, well-trained officers.

Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 19 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 33 EP - 38 SN - 10648011 AB - The purpose of this investigation was to determine the test-retest reliability and coefficient of variation of 2 novel physical performance tests. Ten healthy men (22.0 ± 3.0 years, 87.6 ± 8.0 kg, 20.0 ± 5.0% body fat) performed 30 continuous and dynamic jump squats (JS) and bench throws (BT) on 4 separate occasions. The movements were performed under loaded conditions utilizing 30% of subject's predetermined 1 repetition maximum in the back squat and bench press. Mean power (MP; W), peak power (PP; W), mean velocity (MV; m·s-1),peak velocity (PV; m·s-1), and total work (TW; J) were assessed using a ballistic measurement system (Innervations Inc., Muncie, IN). Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance with Duncan's post hoc test when mean differences were p ≤ 0.05. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and within-subject coefficient of variation (CV%) were also calculated. All values are presented as mean ± SE. BT variables were statistically similar across the 4 sessions; MP (350.0 ± 13.9 W), PP (431.4 ± 18.5 W) MV 11.6 ± 0.03 m·s-1), PV (2.0 ± 0.03 m·s-1), and TW (199.1 ± 7.2 J). For JS, session 3 PP (1,669.8 ± 111.2 W) was significantly greater vs. sessions 1, 2, and 4 (1,601.2 ± 58.4 W). Session 4 MP (1,403.2 ± 88.6 W) and MV (1.9 ± 0.1 m·s-1) M for JS were significantly lower during sessions 1, 2, and 3 (MP: 1,479.4.5 ± 44.8 W, MV: 2.0 ± 0.05 m·s-1). TW (834.7 ± 24.3 J) and PV (2.2 ± 0.04 m·s-1) were statistically similar during all sessions for JS. The CVs ranged from 3.0 to 7.6% for the BT and 3.2 to 5.7% for the JS. ICCs for MP, PP, MV, PV, and TW were 0.92, 0.95, 0.94, 0.91, and 0.95, respectively, during BT. ICCs during JS for MP, PP, MV, PV, and TW were 0.96, 0.98, 0.94, 0.94, and 0.89, respectively. The results of the current study support the use of a 30 continuous and dynamic BT protocol as a reliable upper-body physical performance test, which can be administered with minimal practice. Slightly greater variability for JS was observed, although the test had high reliability.

A novel exopolysaccharide from a clinical isolate ofPrevotella nigrescens:purification, chemical characterization and possible role in modifying human leukocyte phagocytosis.Oral Microbiol Immunol 2005: 20: 1–9.© Blackwell Munksgaard, 2005.Prevotella nigrescens, a gram-negative black-pigmented anaerobic rod, has frequently been isolated from periodontitis and periapical periodontitis lesions. We have isolated an exopolysaccharide-producingP. nigrescens,strain 22, from a chronic periodontitis lesion. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition and function of the exopolysaccharide associated with this clinical isolate. The chemical composition and structure of the purified exopolysaccharide from strain 22 were determined by high performance liquid chromatography and methylation analysis. To define the biological function of this exopolysaccharide, a chemically induced exopolysaccharide nonproducing mutant, strain 328, which was derived from strain 22, was established. The biological effects of exopolysaccharide were determined by comparing the ability of strain 22, strain 328 or heat-killed strain 22 to form abscesses in mice and to interfere with the phagocytic activity of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Chemical analysis showed that isolated exopolysaccharide consisted of mannose (521.6μg/mg), glucose (25.6 μg/mg), fructose (65.8 μg/mg), galactose (12.5 μg/mg), arabinose (6.2 μg/mg), xylose (3.2 μg/mg), rhamnose (6.1 μg/mg), and ribose (0.6 μg/mg). Methylation analysis of exopolysaccharide indicated that the linkages of mannose were primarily (1→2, 1→6) (1→2) (1→6), and (1→3). Strain 22 and, to a lesser extent, its heat-killed counterpart induced greater abscess formation in mice than strain 328, even though the enzymatic profile of strain 22 was similar to that of strain 328. The ability of strain 328 to induce abscess formation was restored by adding the purified exopolysaccharide isolated from strain 22 to the cell suspension of strain 328. Exopolysaccharide alone failed to induce abscess formation in mice. Further, strain 328 but not the untreated or heat-killed strain 22, was phagocytosed by polymorphonuclear leukocytes both in the presence and in the absence of opsonic factors. The results suggest that these polysaccharides isolated from strain 22, which primarily consisted of mannose, may play a key role in the development of the chronic inflammatory lesion from which this strain was isolated.

A study was therefore undertaken in which 20 compensatory wetland mitigation projects in the San Francisco Bay Region were reviewed and assessed for both permit compliance and habitat function, and this was done using a rapid assessment method adapted for this purpose. Thus, in addition to determining compliance and function, a further goal of this study was to test the efficacy of the assessment method, which, if useful, could be applied not only to mitigation projects, but also to restoration projects and natural wetland systems. Survey results suggest that most projects permitted 5 or more years ago are in compliance with their permit conditions and are realizing their intended habitat functions. The larger restoration sites or those situated between existing wetland sites tend to be more successful and offer more benefits to wildlife than the smaller isolated ones. These results are consistent with regulatory experience suggesting that economies of scale could be realized both with (1) large scale regional wetland restoration sites, through which efforts are combined to control invasive species and share costs, and (2) coordinated efforts by regulatory agencies to track project information and to monitor the increasing number and size of mitigation and restoration sites. In regard to the assessment methods, we find that their value lies in providing a consistent protocol for evaluations, but that the ultimate assessment will rely heavily on professional judgment, regulatory experience, and the garnering of pre-assessment information.

Experiment 1 found that an experimental manipulation of opponent trustworthiness influenced the tendency of both groups and individuals to cooperate but had no significant effect on the tendency of groups and individuals to compete -- possibly because of the perceived unfairness of competing with a trustworthy other. Experiment 2 found that an experimental manipulation of categorization increased the tendency of same-category groups and individuals to cooperate (as in Experiment 1) and also increased the tendency of same-category groups, but not individuals, to compete (unlike in Experiment 1). It was further found that the tendency of same-category groups to compete more than same-category individuals was relatively stronger for participants high in guilt proneness.

Assumptions of linear and square-root dependencies, respectively, of the stored energy and flow stresses upon the total dislocation density enable calculation of the time-dependent fraction of plastic work converted to heat energy. Fracture at grain boundary interfaces is represented explicitly by cohesive zone models. Dynamic finite element simulations demonstrate the influences of interfacial separation, random crystallographic orientation, and grain morphology on the high-rate tensile response of a realistic two-phase material system consisting of comparatively brittle pure tungsten (W) grains embedded in a more ductile matrix of tungsten–nickel iron (W–Ni–Fe) alloy. Aspects associated with constitutive modeling of damage and failure in the homogenized material system are discussed in light of the computational results.

Extending this algorithm to a feature space associated with the original input space via a certain nonlinear mapping function can provide a nonlinear version of the RX-algorithm. This non- linear RX-algorithm, referred to as the kernel RX-algorithm, is basically intractable mainly due to the high dimensionality of the feature space produced by the nonlinear mapping function. However, in this paper it is shown that the kernel RX-algorithm can easily be implemented by kernelizing the RX-algorithm in the feature space in terms of kernels that implicitly compute dot products in the feature space. Improved performance of the kernel RX-algorithm over the conventional RX-algorithm is shown by testing several hyperspectral imagery for military target and mine detection.

The objective is to realistically produce two distinct types of ground loading for either wheeled or tracked vehicles in our propagation models: lower frequency loading associated with suspension dynamics and higher frequency impulsive loading associated with tire treads or wheels rolling over individual track blocks. These loading characteristics are important because field measurements show that vehicle ground forcing in both frequency bands produces seismic surface waves that networked sensors can remotely process for security applications. The method utilizes a vehicle-dynamics model to calculate a response to vehicle acceleration and ground features such as bumps; calculates forces transmitted to the ground; distributes these forces to staggered points of a finite-difference model; and simulates seismic wave propagation away from the vehicle. We demonstrate the method using bounce-and-pitch models of wheeled and tracked vehicles. We show that by carefully preprocessing force inputs, we can accurately simulate wave propagation and seismic signatures in finite-difference analyses of vehicles moving continuously over terrain.

Specifically, system identification tools were used to identify the structural dynamic properties based on recorded seismic data. This identified model was compared with a model based on IBC 2000 using the fundamental period, design response spectral acceleration, and base shear. The two models were found to be about 20% different in these parameters. Then, a series of three-dimensional FE models were created to study various approaches for improving the accuracy of FE models quantitatively. Sensitivity study shows that the most effective ways to improve the accuracy of linear FE models are to refine the mass calculation and consider the panel zone rigidity of the beam/column connections for this type of structure. Simulated seismic responses were compared with the observed responses and it is found that a FE model can be calibrated to give a good prediction of earthquake response.

JO - Speech Communication JF - Speech Communication Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 45 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 187 EP - 202 SN - 01676393 AB - Displayless interface technology provides speech-based access to computer applications for which visual access is not possible. These applications are increasingly prevalent, especially in situations requiring mobility, such as navigational applications. To ensure the successful deployment of this technology however, many human factors issues must be addressed. In particular, its nonvisual nature requires verbal presentation of spatial data. Prosodics, or nonverbal aspects, of human speech have been established as an indicator of cognitive stress. In this paper, we examine the assumption that the cognitive burden placed on the user by displayless access to spatial data would significantly alter the prosodics of the user's speech. Results were gathered through experiments in which user interactions with a prototype speech-based navigational system were recorded, post-processed, and analyzed for prosodic content. Subjects participated in two sessions, one using a speech-based, displayless interface, and a second using a multimodal interface that included a visual-tactile map display. Results showed strong evidence of significant changes in subjects' prosodic features when using a displayless versus a multimodal navigational interface for all categories of subjects. Insights gained from this work can be used to improve the design of the user interface for such applications. Also, results of this work can be used to refine the selection of acoustic cues used as predictors in prosodic pattern detection algorithms for these types of applications.

JO - Euphytica JF - Euphytica Y1 - 2005/01/21/ VL - 141 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 263 EP - 280 SN - 00142336 AB - Low-temperature soluble carbohydrate accumulations are commonly associated with anthocyanin coloration, attenuated growth, and cold adaptation of cool-season grasses. A total of 647 AFLP markers were tested for associations with anthocyanin coloration, tiller formation, leaf formation, cumulative leaf length, percent soluble carbohydrate, and dry matter regrowth among replicated clones of an admixedLeymuswildrye breeding population evaluated in low-temperature growth chambers. The admixed breeding population was derived from a heterogeneous population ofL. cinereus×L. triticoidesF1 hybrids, with two additional generations of open pollination. Two AFLP linkage maps, constructed from two full-sib mapping populations derived from the same F1 hybrid population, were integrated to produce a framework consensus map used to examine the distribution of marker-trait associations in the admixed F1OP2 population. Thirty-seven linkage blocks, spanning 258 cM (13.6%) of the 1895 cM consensus map, contained 119 (50%) of the 237 markers showing at least one possible trait association (P<0.05). Moreover, 28 (68%) of the 41 most significant marker-trait associations (P<0.005) were located in 15 QTL linkage blocks spanning 112.9 cM (6%) of the linkage map. The coincidence of these 28 significant marker-trait associations, and many less significant associations, in 15 relatively small linkage blocks (0.6 cM to 21.3 cM) provides evidence of admixture linkage disequilibrium QTLs (ALD QTLs) in this heterogeneous breeding population. At least four of the remaining 13 putative marker-trait associations (P<0.005) were located in genetic map regions lacking other informative markers. The complexity of marker-trait associations results from heterogeneity within and substantial divergence among the parental accessions.

The MGE battery was prepared through three steps: (1) making microporous polymer membrane as battery separator by the phase-inversion method, (2) making the battery assembly and activating it with liquid electrolyte, and (3) forming MGE in situ by warming the battery. Depending on liquid electrolyte uptake and warming conditions of the microporous membrane, the resulting MGE may contain three phases: liquid electrolyte, gel electrolyte, and polymer matrix. Therefore, the MGE combines many advantages such as high ionic conductivity, good adhesion to the electrodes, and good mechanical strength. In this work, we used poly(acrylonitrile-methyl methacrylate) (AMMA, AN:MMA=94:6) as the polymer matrix, and a solution of 1.0 m LiBF4 dissolved in a 1:3 (wt.) mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and γ-butyrolactone (GBL) as the liquid electrolyte. Typically, an MGE gelled with 390 wt.% of liquid electrolyte vs. the dried membrane has an ionic conductivity of 2.2 mS/cm at 20 °C and the resulting Li-ion battery shows good cycling performance.

JO - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology JF - American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology Y1 - 2005/01// VL - 57 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - R197 EP - R204 SN - 03636119 AB - Previous animal models of heat stress have been compromised by methodologies, such as restraint and anesthesia, that have confounded our understanding of the core temperature (Tc) responses elicited by heat stress. Using biotelemetry, we developed a heat stress model to examine Tc responses in conscious, unrestrained C57BL/6J male mice. Before heat stress, mice were acclimated for >4 wk to an ambient temperature (Ta) of 25°C. Mice were exposed to Ta of 39.5 ± 0.2°C, in the absence of food and water, until they reached maximum Tc of 42.4 (n = 11), 42.7 (n = 12), or 43.0°C (n = 11), defined as mild, moderate, and extreme heat stress, respectively. Heat stress induced an ∼13% body weight loss that did not differ by final group Tc; however, survival rate was affected by final Tc (100% at 42.4°C, 92% at 42.7°C, and 46% at 43°C). Hypothermia (Tc < 34.5°C) developed after heat stress, with the depth and duration of hypothermia significantly enhanced in the moderate and extreme compared with the mild group. Regardless of heat stress severity, every mouse that transitioned out of hypothermia (survivors only) developed a virtually identical elevation in Tc the next day, but not night, compared with nonheated controls. To test the effect of the recovery Ta, a group of mice (n = 5) were acclimated for >4 wk and recovered at Ta of 30°C after moderate heat stress. Recovery at 30°C resulted in 0% survival within ∼2 h after cessation of heat stress. Using biotelemetry to monitor Tc in the unrestrained mouse, we show that recovery from acute heat stress is associated with prolonged hypothermia followed by an elevation in daytime Tc that is dependent on Ta. These thermoregulatory responses to heat stress are key biomarkers that may provide insight into heat stroke pathophysiology.

Diffusivity (D) and permeability are determined for sulfur mustard and sarin CWA, and for the simulants: dichlorohexane, chloroethyl phenyl sulfide, diethyl methylphosphonate and diisopropyl methylphosphonate. Values of D calculated by several kinetic methods at different stages of the permeation process and from steady-state permeability are generally in agreement but lower than those obtained from immersion kinetics. Barrier effectiveness of the elastomer compounds towards the CWA and simulant liquids decreases in the order: butyl > EPDM > nitrile ⋙ silicone. Simulant and CWA permeation are correlated in terms of relative permeability and reduced breakthrough time.

It was found that the plasmas-exposed surface of these samples was covered with humps or bubble-like structures. When the samples were cryogenically split, the interior was found to contain numerous open cracks and voids; in a very few cases where the split actually went through a hump/bubble, cracks/voids were found immediately under the hump, suggesting a cause and effect relationship. The inside surfaces of the cracks and voids appeared in some cases to be either (a) smooth and undulating, or (b) about as would be expected if the two sides of the crack had been simply pulled apart; or (c) rough and/or debris-covered. In some type (c) cases they appeared to have been initially rough or debris-covered but to have been at least partially smoothed, possibly by processes involving heat, liquefaction and thermal decomposition. These observations seem consistent with an interpretation involving subsurface penetration of the propellant sample by visible and infrared radiation; this radiation then might cause cracks as a result of uneven expansion due to heating and/or internal gasification due to photochemical and/or thermal decomposition, particularly at sites of small patches of unplasticized nitrocellulose fibers. if these changes also included liquefaction or melting, with or without decomposition, this would also help to understand the smoothing process. In any case, these results suggest that interaction of plasma radiation with the sample is a significant effect. An end-exposed grain of standard, semitransparent JA2 was also examined; in this case the cracks were oriented differently; they extended from holes in the surface into the interior in a direction perpendicular to the surface and parallel to the direction of extrusion.

Measurements of mass lost by the sample, analysis of the infrared spectra of evolved gases, and optical microscopy have been used to characterize the response. In addition, the response for graphite-free JA2 conditioned to hot and cold temperatures has shown that the magnitude of the response for this material is stronger for hot samples. Overall, the samples show strong response when the light can penetrate farther into the samples; the response is limited to a thin layer at the surface for composite propellants.

Quantifying the energy deposited in the rails and implementing an effective thermal management system will be key elements of an effective design for a large-scale electromagnetic launcher. The total current was divided between the inside, upper/lower, and outside surface based on the results of a current distribution calculation. The diffusion of the magnetic field into each surface was modeled in order to determine the current distribution and the resistive heating. Cooling between shots was taken into account by solving the one dimensional transient heat diffusion equation within each surface. Repeating these calculations for a number of discrete segments down the length of the rail enabled the prediction of the total resistive rail heating and the temperature profile along the length of the rail. Experimental tests were conducted that verify the presence of localized heating in the corners of a U-shaped conductor made of 7075 Aluminum. Taking into account the localized resistive healing near the surface of the conductor will become increasingly important with large-scale guns.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/01// VL - 24 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 211 EP - 218 SN - 07307268 AB - Temporal effects on body residues of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) associated with mortality in the freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca were evaluated. Toxicokinetics and body residues were determined from water-only exposures that varied from 4 to 28 d, and DDE concentrations ranging from 0.0013 to 0.045 µmol L-1. Uptake and elimination parameters were not affected significantly by the various temporal and concentration treatments. Uptake rate coefficients ranged from 134.3 to 586.7 ml g-1 h-1, and elimination rate coefficients ranged from 0.0011 to 0.0249 h-1. Toxicity metric values included body residue for 50% mortality at a fixed sample time (LR50) and mean lethal residue to produce 50% mortality from individual exposure concentrations (MLR50) for live organisms and dead organisms. A twofold increase occurred in the MLR50 values calculated using live organisms compared to MLR50 values using dead organisms. Toxicity and kinetic data were fit to a damage assessment model that allows for the time course for toxicokinetics and damage repair, demonstrating the time-dependence of body residues to toxicity. The DDE appeared to act through a nonpolar narcosis mode of action for both acute and chronic mortality in H. azteca. Furthermore, the temporal trend in the toxic response using body residue as the dose metric is steep and found to be similar to another chlorinated hydrocarbon, pentachlorobenzene, but was more potent than that found for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

JO - Genetics JF - Genetics Y1 - 2005/01// VL - 169 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 184 SN - 00166731 AB - We have identified a novel gene named grappa (gpp) that is the Drosophila ortholog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene Dot1, a histone methyltransferase that modifies the lysine (K)79 residue of histone H3. gpp is an essential gene identified in a genetic screen for dominant suppressors of pairing-dependent silencing, a Polycomb-group (Pc-G)-mediated silencing mechanism necessary for the maintenance phase of Bithorax complex (BX-C) expression. Surprisingly, gpp mutants not only exhibit Pc-G phenotypes, but also display phenotypes characteristic of trithorax-group mutants. Mutations in gpp also disrupt telomeric silencing but do not affect centric heterochromatin. These apparent contradictory phenotypes may result from loss of gpp activity in mutants at sites of both active and inactive chromatin domains. Unlike the early histone H3 K4 and K9 methylation patterns, the appearance of methylated K79 during embryogenesis coincides with the maintenance phase of BX-C expression, suggesting that there is a unique role for this chromatin modification in development.

In this paper, the different generations of SiGe configurable blocks (Basic Cells(BC)) evolved from the Xilinx 6200 are presented and measured. The latest generation has a 94% reduction in power consumption (from 71 to 4.2mW) and an 82.5% reduction of the propagation delay (from 238 to 42ps) compared to the first generation design. To demonstrate the SiGe FPGA''s capabilities of handling gigahertz signals, the SiGe FPGAs configured as the 4:1 multiplexer and 1:4 demultiplexer were designed to run at 10Gbps. The comparisons between the SiGe and CMOS FPGAs are also provided. With these design results, the SiGe FPGA is able to process gigahertz signals such as S and K microwave bands.

Our objective was to examine the effects of three landscape positions (summit, backslope, and toeslope) and three stocking systems (continuous, rotational, and non-grazed) on species diversity and percentage of cover of grass, legume, and weed species functional types in southeastern Iowa pastures. Data were collected in 0.2-m² plots randomly distributed throughout each of four replicate pastures in spring and summer 2000 and 2001. Backslope landscape positions within pastures managed with either continuous or rotational stocking contained the greatest overall diversity of species. Across years, overall species richness under grazing averaged 4.8 on backslopes, 3.5 on summits, and 2.9 on toeslopes. Legume cover was greatest within the rotational stocking system, averaging 21% on back- slopes, 10% on summits, and 3% on toeslopes across years. Cool-season grasses dominated summits and toeslopes, consisting of 88 to 94% of the cover. Weed species diversity and cover were greatest on backslopes within the continuous stocking system. Our results showed that rotational stocking had more desirable effects through greater legume cover and less weed cover on backslopes than continuous stocking. This research suggested that spatial components of pastures should be considered to optimize the production and quality of forage for grazing livestock.

Tactical infrared (IR) imaging sensors, for example, typically require some form of cooling to optimize performance and range without compromising on size, weight and power. The dark current for these imaging sensors increases with wavelength thus adding to the cooling requirement. Novel approaches are being developed to integrate low dimensional materials that exhibit enhanced TE properties with IR focal plane array (FPA) manufacturing processes. These types of approaches could significantly increase the potential of future fielded soldier imaging systems.

The analysis at three temperatures showed an Avrami exponent equal to one. Based upon reinterpretation and in agreement with recent microstructural evidence, a two-dimensional growth mechanism for the phase transformation is proposed in which the new phase grows in a direction perpendicular to the direction of lithium ion transport. Furthermore, the relatively low value of the activation energy for the phase transformation of 13 kJ/mol suggests that the phase transition is controlled by lithium ion diffusion along the phase boundary.

Modifications include the addition of an RNase inactivator to the reaction mixture, elimination of a signal-enhancing monoclonal antibody, and optimization of the incubation temperature. Concurrent testing with two substrates provides a diagnostic tool enabling castor bean toxins to be differentiated from a larger selection of N-glycosidase toxins than was previously examined.

Substrate effects on bias-enhanced nucleation were observed in these early studies, indicating that carbide formers were effective substrates. Later, epitaxial nucleation on (100) β-SiC, (100) Si, and (111) TiC was demonstrated. The thermal attributes of epitaxially textured films have been more recently evaluated by comparing the in-plane thermal conductivity of highly oriented films to those of randomly fiber-textured films. The thermal properties were determined using Joule heating thermometry and indicated room temperature thermal conductivity values of ∼650 and ∼335 W/m K for the respective films. This two-fold improvement is ascribed to reduced phonon scattering at the low angle grain boundaries characterizing the epitaxially textured films. This is further supported by temperature-dependent measurements, which showed a more pronounced sensitivity to these defects within the random fiber-textured films at low measurement temperatures.

JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America JF - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Y1 - 2004/12/21/ VL - 101 IS - 51 M3 - Article SP - 17837 EP - 17842 SN - 00278424 AB - The association of historical plague pandemics with Yersinia pestis remains controversial, partly because the evolutionary history of this largely monomorphic bacterium was unknown. The microevolution of Y. pestis was therefore investigated by three different multilocus molecular methods, targeting genomewide synonymous SNPs, variation in number of tandem repeats, and insertion of IS 100 insertion elements. Eight populations were recognized by the three methods, and we propose an evolutionary tree for these populations, rooted on Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The tree invokes microevolution over millennia, during which enzootic pestoides isolates evolved. This initial phase was followed by a binary split 6,500 years ago, which led to populations that are more frequently associated with human disease. These populations do not correspond directly to classical biovars that are based on phenotypic properties. Thus, we recommend that henceforth groupings should be based on molecular signatures. The age of V. pestis inferred here is compatible with the dates of historical pandemic plague. However, it is premature to inter an association between any modern molecular grouping and a particular pandemic wave that occurred before the 20th century.

The intensity of the shifted emission peak increased with the number of bound bacteria. Curiously, the emission was consistently shifted to approximately 440–460 nm, which is distinctly different from the major component of the natural fluorescence spectrum of these QDs. This minor emission peak can grow upon conjugation to antibodies or aptamers and subsequent binding to bacterial cell surfaces. We hypothesize that the wavelength shift is due to changes in the chemical environment of the QD conjugates when they encounter the bacterial surface and may be due to physical deformation of the QD that changes the quantum confinement state. Regardless of the mechanism, these remarkable emission wavelength shifts of greater than 140nm in some cases strongly suggest new applications for QD-receptor conjugates.

Because extensive medical data are available on this cross-sectional and diverse population, identification of the underlying causes of sudden death may promote health care policy to reduce the incidence of sudden death. Objective: To determine the causes of nontraumatic sudden death among a cohort of military recruits. Design: Retrospective cohort study using demographic and autopsy data from the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. Setting: Basic military training. Patients: All nontraumatic sudden deaths from a monitored 6.3 million men and women age 18 to 35 years. Measurements: Descriptive analysis, crude mortality rates of causes of sudden death, and frequency of events as a function of cause of death. Results: Of 126 nontraumatic sudden deaths (rate, 13.0/100 000 recruit-years), 108 (86%) were related to exercise. The most common cause of sudden death was an identifiable cardiac abnormality (64 of 126 recruits [51 %]); however, a substantial number of deaths remained unexplained (44 of 126 recruits [35%]). The predominant structural cardiac abnormalities were coronary artery abnormalities (39 of 64 recruits [61%]), myocarditis (13 of 64 recruits [20%]), and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (8 of 64 recruits [13%]). An anomalous coronary artery accounted for one third (21 of 64 recruits) of the cases in this cohort, and, in each, the left coronary artery arose from the right (anterior) sinus of Valsalva, coursing between the pulmonary artery and aorta. Limitations: This cohort underwent a preenlistment screening program that included history and physical examination; this may have altered outcomes. Conclusions: Cardiac abnormalities are the leading identifiable cause of sudden death among military recruits; however, more than one third of sudden deaths remain unexplained after detailed medical investigation.

JO - American Journal of Sports Medicine JF - American Journal of Sports Medicine Y1 - 2004/12// VL - 32 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1887 EP - 1892 SN - 03635465 AB - Background: Bracing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is expensive and is not proven to prevent injuries or influence outcomes. Purpose: To determine whether postoperative functional knee bracing influences outcomes. Study Design: Prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial. Methods: One hundred volunteers from the 3 US service academies with acute anterior cruciate ligament tears were randomized into braced or nonbraced groups. Only those subjects with anterior cruciate ligament tears treated surgically within the first 8 weeks of injury were included. Patients with chondral injuries, significant meniscal tears, or multiple knee ligament injuries were excluded. Surgical procedures and the postoperative physical therapy protocols were identical for both groups. The braced group was instructed to wear an off-the-shelf functional knee brace for all cuffing, pivoting, or jumping activities for the first year after surgery. Results: Ninety-five subjects were available with a minimum 2-year follow-up. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in knee stability, functional testing with the single-legged hop test, International Knee Documentation Committee scores, Lysholm scores, knee range of motion, or isokinetic strength testing. Two braced subjects had reinjuries, and 3 nonbraced subjects had reinjuries. Conclusions: In this young, active population, postoperative bracing does not appear to change the clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Silt fences were used to trap sediment transport from zero-order ephemeral swales at the edge of and within SMZs. Four control swales and nine treatment swales were studied. A double mass curve approach was used to graphically compare sediment accumulation rates at the edge of SMZs to accumulation rates within the SMZs at a distance consistent with current recommendations for SMZ width in Georgia. SMZ efficiencies for trapping sediment transported by concentrated flow ranged from 71 to 99 percent. No statistical model was found to explain how SMZ efficiencies varied with SMZ and contributing area characteristics. Measured sediment accumulations at the SMZ boundary were compared to Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) predictions of upslope erosion, and a delivery ratio of 0.25 was calculated. SMZs had a quantifiable and substantial ameliorating effect on sediment transport from concentrated overland flow on the clearcut study sites.

Triphenylmethyne, anthraquinone and xanthene dyes with catechol groups were chosen as the most promising dyes for fabrication of nanocrystalline TiO2 based dye-sensitized photovoltaic (DSPV) cells using a liquid electrolyte. From our study, a xanthene dye, 9-phenyl-2,3,7-trihydroxy-6-fluorone is found to be efficient photosensitizer in DSPV cells compared to other dyes when a liquid electrolyte is used. Redox potentials, absorption and photovoltaic properties of these dyes are presented. Two possible ways of electron transfer, namely direct charge transfer via formation of strong charge transfer complexes and the conventional excited state electron injection through the HOMO–LUMO energy level matching are discussed.

Biotic and abiotic controls of the compositions and activities of burrow and tube microbial communities are poorly understood. The microbial communities in tubes of the marine infaunal polychaete Diopatria cuprea collected from two different sediment habitats were examined. The bacterial communities in the tubes from a sandy sediment differed from those in the tubes from a muddy sediment. The difference in community structure also extended to the sulfate-reducing bacterial (SRB) assemblage, although it was not as pronounced for this functional group of species. PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered from Diopatra tube SRB by clonal library construction and screening were all related to the family Desulfobacteriaceae. This finding was supported by phospholipid fatty acid analysis and by hybridization of 16S rRNA probes specific for members of the genera Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacter, Desulfobacterium, Desulfobotulus, Desulfococcus, and Desulfovibrio and some members of the genera Desulfomonas, Desulfuromonas, and Desulfomicrobium with 16S rRNA gene sequences resolved by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Two of six SRB clones from the clone library were not detected in tubes from the sandy sediment. The habitat in which the D. cuprea tubes were constructed had a strong influence on the tube bacterial community as a whole, as well as on the SRB assemblage.

The structures for the global minima for n = 1-4 have homodromic rings formed by successive hydrogen bonds. The potential energy surface for the HNO3···nH2O clusters is quite shallow. The first stable ion-pair configuration is obtained for a HNO3···4H2O complex. The ion pair, H3O+—NO3-, is separated by the three H2O molecules forming an Eigen-ion (H9O4+) type structure. The transition states and activation barriers for n = 1-4 were also determined. The zero-point corrected transition-state barrier for the ion pair is only 0.5 kcal/mol. Larger HNO3···nH2O clusters (n up to 32) were also determined to be dominated by the ion-pair motif.

The existing methods used in commercial GIS and image analysis packages such as Window Averaging (WA) often do not work well because of different limitations. In this study we developed and compared five widely used WA methods including three spatial variability-weighted methods and two simulation methods. These methods were assessed in a case study for aggregating and using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images for mapping vegetation covers and for inferring a topographical factor related to soil erosion from finer to coarser resolutions. The results showed that the Beta Distribution Simulation (BDS) method was better than WA regardless of the distributions of the spatial data, while the Arithmetic Average Variability-Weighted method (AAVW) performed better than WA for normal distributions. BDS is flexible for variable distributions and AAVW is only suitable for normal distributions. Because of their simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility, it is expected that these two methods can be programmed into commercial GIS and image analysis packages.

The mouse ear vesicant model for SM injury has been used to evaluate pharmacological agents for countering SM dermal injury. The vanilloid olvanil reduces SM-induced edema and mRNA expression of cytokines and chemokines, suggesting that blocking the inflammatory effects of neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP), may provide protection against SM-induced dermal injury. This study examined SP expression in mice exposed to SM (0.16mg) on the inner surface of the right ear, with or without olvanil pretreatment at 1, 10, 30, 60, and 360min following exposure. In naïve skin, SP mRNA localization was associated with blood vessels and sebaceous glands. In SM-exposed skin, SP mRNA was also detected in perivascular dermal cells. Immunohistochemical localization of SP protein was observed in the ear skin of naïve, SM-, olvanil/SM-, and vehicle-treated mice. Quantification of SP+ perivascular dermal cells revealed that SM exposure led to a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in SP+ cells over the observed time period. Olvanil pretreatment significantly reduced (P ≤ 0.05) the mean number of SP+ cells at 60 and 360min. This study demonstrates that SP expression could provide an additional endpoint for evaluating the effectiveness of vanilloid drugs on SM-induced skin inflammation.

This information is required to determine the appropriate operating conditions for achieving maximum syngas yields from these fuels. We find that the overall reactivity of these fuel mixtures is not simply an average over the reactivities of constituent molecules. Results indicate that, whereas i-octane is more reactive than n-octane in the mixture at all C/O feed ratios, n-decane is more reactive than n-hexadecane in the mixture only at ratios leaner than the syngas stoichiometry (based on the mixture) and this trend reverses as the C/O feed ratio increases. Addition of 10mol% naphthalene to n-decane successfully produces syngas in selectivities exceeding 70%. This demonstrates the ability of the rhodium-monolith reactor to partially oxidize a wide variety of hydrocarbon mixtures, including the hydrogen-deficient poly-aromatic compounds, to syngas and olefins without any evident deterioration in performance.

It is shown that AMAC has a similar bonding ability as the conventional poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) binder, and that the graphite electrodes bonded by AMAC and PVDF have nearly the same cyclability. Advantages of AMAC binder include: (1) it assists in forming a more conductive solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the surface of graphite and (2) organic liquid electrolyte exhibits better penetration on the AMAC-bonded electrode. Impedance analysis shows that formation of the SEI on the surface of graphite includes two stages. The first stage takes place above 0.15 V and the second stage between 0.15 and 0.04 V. The SEI formed in the first stage is relatively resistive, while that formed in the second stage is highly conductive. For the first stage, the presence of AMAC may enhance the conductivity of the SEI. We performed a storage test on the AMAC-bonded graphite by monitoring the change of open-circuit voltage (OCV) of fully lithiated Li/graphite cells and by comparing their capacity change before and after storage. We observed that OCV of the cell increased gradually, and that capacity loss during the storage recovered in the subsequent lithiation process. Therefore, the OCV increase could be considered a self-delithiation process, which does not consume permanently Li+ ions.

Dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) is the least frequently sampled serotype, although one that is often associated with hemorrhagic fever during secondary infection. To determine the evolutionary forces shaping the genetic diversity of DENV-4, and particularly whether its changing prevalence could be attributed to instances of adaptive evolution in the viral genome, we undertook a large-scale molecular epidemiological analysis of DENV-4 in Bangkok, Thailand, using both E gene and complete coding region sequences. This analysis revealed extensive genetic diversity within a single locality at a single time, including the discovery of a new and divergent genotype of DENV-4, as well as a pattern of continual lineage turnover. We also recorded the highest average rate of evolutionary change for this serotype, at 1.072 × 10−3 nucleotide substitutions per site, per year. However, despite this abundant genetic variation, there was no evidence for adaptive evolution in any gene, codon, or lineage of DENV-4, with the highest rate of nonsynonymous substitution observed in NS2A. Consequently, the rapid turnover of DENV-4 lineages through time is most likely the consequence of a high rate of deleterious mutation in the viral genome coupled to seasonal fluctuations in the size of the vector population.

An optical waveguide is modeled during poling by considering the dielectric charge distribution, polarization charge distribution, and conduction charge generated by the poling field. The charge distributions are the source of poling current densities. The model shows that boundary charge current density and polarization current density are the major source of currents measured during poling and thermally stimulated discharge measurements. Charge distributions provide insight into the poling mechanisms and are directly related to EA and αr. Initial comparisons with experimental data show excellent correlation to the model results.

Four archival studies and 3 experiments supported this hypothesis. Studies 1-4 showed that people are disproportionately likely to marry others whose first or last names resemble their own. Studies 5-7 provided experimental support for implicit egotism. Participants were more attracted than usual to people (a) whose arbitrary experimental code numbers resembled their own birthday numbers, (b) whose surnames shared letters with their own surnames, and (c) whose jersey number had been paired, subliminally, with their own names. Discussion focuses on implications for implicit egotism, similarity, and interpersonal attraction.

We obtain this broadband response, valid in the magnetoquasistatic regime from zero to hundreds of kilohertz, by combining three different techniques, each applicable over a different frequency range. At low frequencies, the exact analytical solution is used. At midrange frequencies, asymptotic expressions for the angular and radial SWFs are incorporated into the exact solution in order to maintain a stable solution for the induced magnetic field. At higher frequencies, a small penetration approximation (SPA) solution is used when the SPA solution approaches the asymptotically assisted solution to within some predefined tolerance. Validation of this combined technique is accomplished through the comparison of the induced magnetic field predicted by our model to both a finite element/boundary integral (FE-BI) numerical solution and experimental data from various spheroids taken by an ultrawideband EMI instrument.

Experimental methods were developed to obtain real-time PAH desorption data through use of a thermal program desorption probe. Data analysis techniques were investigated to explore the thermal desorption profiles of milligram-size samples. Peak temperatures of desorption were observed to vary among PAHs and among sorbents. For the same absorbent, peak temperatures increased with an increase of PAH molecular weights. For the same PAH, peak temperatures increased as the sorbent varied from sand to alumina to XAD-4 to kaolin. These results have been interpreted in terms of a combined model that include both an activation energy and a desorption/volatilization rate coefficient.

The effect of pH on the secondary structure of OPH solution was examined over the pH range from 3.56 to 9.60. As shown on the CD spectra, the secondary structure of OPH is well defined when the pH value is near the isoelectric point (7.6); however, it is destroyed when the pH values are increased or decreased further. This is explained by the loss of helical structure. The pH effect on CD spectra contributes to clarify the optimum pH needed to obtain a stable OPH Langmuir film at the air-water interface and its correlation to the secondary structure of the enzyme. Comparative study of the thermal treatment on the secondary structure of OPH in solution, Langmuir-Blodgett film, and dry film shows that the molecular arrangement plays a dominant role in the thermal stability of OPH. With use of the CDPro software package a quantitative estimation of the secondary structure from the CD spectra of OPH solution was obtained. Results show that there is a decrease in the percentage of the α-helical and an increase of β-strands with the change of pH or temperature.

The stress concentration in the first intact yarn at the slit tip is determined as a function of increasing loading, and predictions for the onset of tearing are made under the assumption that tearing initiates through the rupture of the first intact yarn at a characteristic yarn breaking load. Extensive onset of tearing experiments on various coated nylon and polyester fabrics are presented, and the model is shown to capture the onset of tearing in these fabrics quite well over a range of slit lengths.

The out-of-plane component of the displacement propagates a damped compressional wave into the liquid, and the in-plane component propagates a damped shear wave. In this paper, we report the measurements of the series resonant frequency and the motional arm resistance of doubly rotated quartz resonators (θ ≈ 35° and φ = 7°) in liquids to compare with singly rotated AT-cut resonators (θ ≈ 35° and 0 = 00). A modified Butterworth-Van Dyke (BVD) equivalent circuit model is suggested to analyze doubly rotated cut resonators under liquid loading.

To mitigate this risk, antiviral drugs and an improved vaccine are urgently needed. Satisfactory demonstration of protective efficacy against authentic variola will require development of an animal model in which variola produces a disease course with features consistent with human smallpox. Toward this end, cynomolgus macaques were exposed to several variola strains through aerosol and/or i.v. routes. Two strains, Harper and india 7124, produced uniform acute lethality when inoculated i.v. in high doses (109 plaque-forming units). Lower doses resulted in less fulminant, systemic disease and lower mortality. Animals that died had profound. leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and elevated serum creatinine levels. After inoculation, variola was disseminated by means of a monocytic cell-associated viremia. Distribution of viral antigens by immunohistochemistry correlated with the presence of replicating viral particles demonstrated by electron microscopy and pathology in the lymphoid tissues, skin, oral mucosa, gastrointestinal tract, reproductive system. and liver. These particles resembled those seen in human smallpox. High viral burdens in target tissues were associated with organ dysfunction and multisystem failure. Evidence of coagulation cascade activation (D dimers) corroborated histologic evidence of hemorrhagic diathesis. Depletion of T cell-dependent areas of lymphoid tissues occurred, probably as a consequence of bystander apoptotic mechanisms initiated by infected macrophages. Elaboration of cytokines, including IL-6 and IFN-γ, contribute to a cytokine storm formerly known as "toxemia." A more precise understanding of disease pathogenesis should provide targets for therapeutic intervention, to be used alone or in combination with inhibitors of variola virus reputation.

Despite the historical significance of this disease, we know little about the underlying pathophysiology or the virulence mechanisms of the causative agent, variola v!rus. To improve our understanding of variola pathogenesis and variola-host interactions, we examined the molecular and cellular features of hemorrhagic smallpox in cynomolgus macaques. We used cDNA microarrays to analyze host gene expression patterns in sequential blood samples from each of 22 infected animals. Variola infection elicited striking and temporally coordinated patterns of gene expression in peripheral blood. Of particular interest were features that appear to represent an IFN response, cell proliferation, immunoglobulin gene expression, viral dose-dependent gene expression patterns, and viral modulation of the host immune response. The virtual absence of a tumor necrosis factor α/NF-κB-activated transcriptional program in the face of an overwhelming systemic infection suggests that variola gene products may ablate this response. These results provide a detailed picture of the host transcriptional response during smallpox infection, and may help guide the development of diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic strategies.

We report results from physicochemical experiments that assess this concept PCB- and PAH-contaminated sediment from Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco Bay, CA, was contacted with coke and activated carbon for periods of 1 and 6 months. Sediment treated with 3.4 wt% activated carbon showed 92% and 84% reductions in aqueous equilibrium PCB and PAH concentrations, 77% and 83% reductions in PCB and PAH uptake by semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD), respectively, and reductions in PCB flux to overlying water in quiescent systems up to 89%. Adding coke to contaminated sediment did not significantly decrease aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations nor PCB or PAH availability in SPMO measurements. Coke decreased PAH aqueous equilibrium concentrations by 38-64% depending on coke dose and particle size. The greater effectiveness of activated carbon as compared to coke is attributed to its much greater specific surface area and a pore structure favorable for binding contaminants. The results from the physicochemical tests suggest that adding activated carbon to contaminated field sediment reduces HOC availability to the aqueous phase. The benefit is manifested relatively quickly under optimum contact conditions and improves in effectiveness with contact time from 1 to 6 months. Activated carbon application is a potentially attractive method for in-situ, non rem oval treatment of marine sediment contaminated with HOCs.

These connections, the screw-attached stud to track connection and the deflection track connection, were investigated to gain an understanding of their behavior and to develop appropriate design guidelines. As a result of the investigation, the current design guidelines were found to be conservative. Test results allowed for the formulation of modifications to the existing design equations to better predict the stud end support capacity.

Conceptually, the electrolyte should undergo no net chemical changes during the operation of the battery, and all Faradaic processes are expected to occur within the electrodes. Therefore, in an oversimplified expression, an electrolyte could be viewed as the inert component in the battery, and it must demonstrate stability against both cathode and anode surfaces. This electrochemical stability of the electrolyte, which in actual devices is usually realized in a kinetic rather than thermodynamic manner, is of especial importance to rechargeable battery systems, but it is often challenged by the strong oxidizing and reducing nature of the cathode and the anode, respectively.

The dissipative terms in the equations involve convolutions of the acoustic fields with the impulse response of the medium. It is shown that the equations reduce to previously known results in the limits of low and high frequencies. Alternative time-domain equations are also derived based on a Padé approximation.

The primary objective of the DMMP is to identify cost-effective and environmentally acceptable alternatives for the placement of dredged material derived from ongoing and proposed navigation improvements within the PANY/NJ. A significant portion of this dredged material is classified as unsuitable for open-ocean disposal. One suite of alternatives presented within the DMMP is the beneficial use of dredged material for habitat creation, enhancement, and restoration within the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary. Proposed beneficial use/habitat development projects include the use of dredged material for construction of artificial reefs, oyster reef restoration, intertidal wetland and mudflat creation, bathymetric recontouring, filling dead-end canals/basins, creation of bird/wildlife islands, and landfill/brownfields reclamation. Preliminary screening of the proposed beneficial use alternatives identified advantages, disadvantages, potential volumes, and estimated costs associated with each project type. Continued study of the proposed beneficial use alternatives has identified areas of environmental research or technology development where further investigation is warranted.

It also should be an inherently critical process that liberates policymakers from incorrect, antiquated, or misconceived perceptions. Therefore the U.S. strategic community engages in a never-ending debate over the nature of the threats confronting America. In recent years the term asymmetric threat has become something of a mantra covering every kind of threat even to the degree of labeling the German offensives of 1918 as asymmetric. This essay is an extended critique of the way in which we think about asymmetric threats and argues for a different way of perceiving and analyzing the threats we face. Even if the kinds of threats we face are serious and real, mislabeling and misconceiving them does a disservice to U.S. strategy and policy. Thus new thinking about the nature of the threat is called for.

B. mallei, the etiologic agent of glanders, has come under renewed scientific investigation as a result of recent concerns about its past and potential future use as a biological weapon. Genome analysis identified a number of putative virulence factors whose function was supported by comparative genome hybridization and expression profiling of the bacterium in hamster liver in vivo. The genome contains numerous insertion sequence elements that have mediated extensive deletions and rearrangements of the genome relative to Burkholderia pseudomallei. The genome also contains a vast number (>12,000) of simple sequence repeats. Variation in simple sequence repeats in key genes can provide a mechanism for generating antigenic variation that may account for the mammalian host's inability to mount a durable adaptive immune response to a B. mallei infection.

This system is regenerated electrothermally, by passing an electric current directly through the ACFC. The adsorbate desorbs from the ACFC, rapidly condenses on the inside walls of the adsorber, and then drains from the adsorber as a pure liquid. Rapid electrothermal desorption exhibits such unique characteristics as extremely low purge gas flow rate, rapid rate of ACFC heating, rapid mass transfer kinetics inherent to ACFC, and in-vessel condensation. An existing system was scaled up 500%, and the new system was modeled using material and energy balances. Adsorption isotherms using methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and ACFC were obtained while electricity passed through the ACFC and at temperatures above MEK's boiling point These isotherms agreed within 7% to Dubinin-Radushkevich modeled isotherms that were extrapolated from independently determined gravimetric measurements obtained at lower temperatures. Energy and material balances for the electrothermal desorption of organic vapors and ACFC agree to within 7% of experimentally measured values. These results allow the modeling of electrothermal desorption of organic vapors from gas streams with in-vessel condensation to optimize operating conditions of the system during regeneration of the adsorbent.

VO2max is an important indicator of health-risk status, specifically for coronary heart disease. Direct measurement of VO2max is considered to be the most accurate means of determining cardiovascular fitness level. According to a literature search, no published cross- validation specifically examines the YMCA submaximal cycle ergometer test. The mean difference of the prediction was calculated by subtnLcting TM VO2max from the YMCA-predicted VO2max.

For vertical wells, there are well-established methods for estimating these parameters, typically based on either the recovery from induced head changes in a well or from the head response in observation wells to pumping in a test well. Comparable aquifer parameter estimation methods for horizontal wells have not been presented in the ground water literature. Formation parameter estimation methods based on measurements of pressure in horizontal wells have been presented in the petroleum industry literature, but these methods have limited applicability for ground water evaluation and are based on pressure measurements in only the horizontal well borehole, rather than in observation wells. This paper presents a simple and versatile method by which pumping test procedures developed for vertical wells can be applied to horizontal well pumping tests. The method presented here uses the principle of superposition to represent the horizontal well as a series of partially penetrating vertical wells. This concept is used to estimate a distance from an observation well at which a vertical well that has the same total pumping rate as the horizontal well will produce the same draw down as the horizontal well. This equivalent distance may then be associated with an observation well for use in pumping test algorithms and type curves developed for vertical wells. The method is shown to produce good results for confined aquifers and unconfined aquifers in the absence of delayed yield response. For unconfined aquifers, the presence of delayed yield response increases the method error.

The real-time network infrastructure is a key technology enabler for these systems. This effort presents an adaptive real-time network protocol (ARTNP) that provides multidimensional quality-of-service support for time-sensitive data under nominal conditions and during transient surges. Transient surges (e.g., the retransmission of corrupt or lost data and the unspecified arrival of sporadic messages) are problematic in that they can temporarily overload the network, causing message transmissions to be late. ARTNP is a fully distributed protocol that specifically addresses the issue of transient surges in network loading. Under nominal conditions, ARTNP can guarantee the time constraints of any messages at optimally high levels of network utilization. During a transient surge, ARTNP will detect the surge and alter the ordering of message transmissions to sustain the timely transmission of critical messages. The CAN protocol is selected as the underlying network, because of its wide spread use in vehicular systems. Simulations compare the performance of ARTNP against an optimal nonadaptive approach.

The binary toxins produced by B. anthracis, B. cereus, C. botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens, and C. spiroforme consist of components not physically associated in solution that are linked to various diseases in humans, animals, or insects. The "B" components are synthesized as precursors that are subsequently activated by serine-type proteases on the targeted cell surface and/or in solution. Following release of a 20-kDa N-terminal peptide, the activated "B" components form homoheptameric rings that subsequently dock with an "A "component(s) on the cell surface. By following an acidified endosomal route and translocation into the cytosol, "A" molecules disable a cell (and host organism) via disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, increasing intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, or inactivation of signaling pathways linked to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases. Recently, B. anthracis has gleaned much notoriety as a biowarfare/bioterrorism agent, and of primary interest has been the edema and lethal toxins, their role in anthrax, as well as the development of efficacious vaccines and therapeutics targeting these virulence factors and ultimately B. anthracis. This review comprehensively surveys the literature and discusses the similarities, as well as distinct differences, between each Clostridium and Bacillus binary toxin in terms of their biochemistry, biology, genetics, structure, and applications in science and medicine. The information may foster future studies that aid novel vaccine and drug development, as well as a better understanding of a conserved intoxication process utilized by various gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria.

JO - Climatic Change JF - Climatic Change Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 66 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 49 EP - 66 SN - 01650009 AB - The Mapungubwe agro-pastoral society in the Limpopo valley, South Africa, persisted for 300 yrs before disappearing in about 1290 as a result of a decrease in mean annual rainfall (MAR) from about 500 mm to the current 340 mm. The influence of rainfall changes and competition from wildlife on cattle and small stock populations was investigated (agriculture was not) using the SAVANNA model. Six scenarios were compared for a 350 km2 area (Venetia–Limpopo Nature Reserve) for a 280 yrs simulation period: livestock only, wildlife only, and wildlife plus livestock, for a climate of ‘low’ (MAR 340 mm) versus ‘high’ (MAR 480 mm) rainfall. High inter-annual variability in rainfall resulted in highly variable grass production, but production of woody plants was more stable. Extreme drought events of one or more years duration resulted in marked population declines of the grazers, cattle and zebra. Populations of mixed feeders or browsers, including kudu, small stock and impala, were comparatively stable, the latter two mentioned were in part stabilised by offtake. Cattle populations persisted under a high rainfall climate irrespective of wildlife, but became extinct within 120 yrs under a low rainfall climate when competing with wildlife, in particular zebra. The size of the persisting populations of cattle or small stock under low rainfall was about half that for the corresponding high rainfall scenario. Pastoralism based on cattle was apparently unviable once climate started changing, and small stock were probably insufficient for meeting societal needs. Although crop failure is a sufficient explanation for the disappearance of the Mapungubwe settlement, destabilization of pastoralism would have compounded food security. The recorded rapid onset of a dry climate is of portent for current-day pastoral societies in marginal environments.

Method: We analyzed data from the 1995 National Health Interview Survey Disability (NHIS-D) Supplement to estimate the prevalence of crash-related disability among noninstitutionalized U.S. adults aged 18 years and older. Results: More than 1.2 million adults were living in their homes with the disabling effects of motor-vehicle crash-related injuries in 1995. The prevalence of crash-related disability was highest for persons in their mid-life years, ages 35–64. Half of the respondents had sustained the injuries more than 5 years before the interview. Forty-one percent of working-aged individuals reported being unable to work because of their disability. Conclusions: Because crash-related disability is most prevalent during the mid-life years, quality of life and productivity may be affected for decades. These findings highlight the personal and societal burden associated with motor-vehicle crash-related disability in the United States.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 134 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 2401 EP - 2406 SN - 00223166 AB - We developed a method for measurement of skin DNA synthesis, reflecting cell division, in conscious rabbits by infusing D-[U-13C6]glucose and L-[15N]glycine. Cutaneous protein synthesis was simultaneously measured by infusion of L-[ring-²H5]phenylalanine. Rabbits were fitted with jugular venous and carotid arterial catheters, and were studied during the infusion of an amino acid solution (10% Travasol). The fractional synthetic rate (FSR) of DNA from the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway, a reflection of total cell division, was 3.26 ± 0.59%/d in whole skin and 3.08 ± 1.86%/d in dermis (P = 0.38). The de novo base synthesis pathway accounted for 76 and 60% of the total DNA FSR in whole skin and dermis, respectively; the contribution from the base salvage pathway was 24% in whole skin and 40% in dermis. The FSR of protein in whole skin was 5.35 ± 4.42%/d, which was greater (P < 0.05) than that in dermis (2.91 ± 2.52%/d). The FSRs of DNA and protein were not correlated (P = 0.33), indicating that cell division and protein synthesis are likely regulated by different mechanisms. This new approach enables investigations of metabolic disorders of skin diseases and regulation of skin wound healing by distinguishing the 2 principal components of skin metabolism, which are cell division and protein synthesis.

For large cell numbers in aqueous suspensions, an alternative technique that has proven useful is total luminescence spectroscopy (TLS). TLS is the acquisition of fluorescence data that records the unique excitation–emission matrix (EEM) of compound fluorophores. Past work has shown that one type of bacterial endospore, Bacillus megaterium, possessed a distinct EEM pattern useful for differentiating it in complex biological fluids and suspensions. The work described here extends those observations to establish some limits on the sensitivity and specificity of TLS for the detection and analysis of bacterial endospores versus (bacterial) vegetative cells in aqueous culture. Our findings show Bacillus endospores exhibit a dramatic blue shift of 130 nm in excitation and a smaller shift of 50 nm in emission when compared to ancillary endospore and non-endospore forming bacterial cells.

Low-cost clusters of round parachutes are being considered as a potential candidate for such a system. A method is presented that provides a glide and steering capability for a cluster of round parachutes for precision airdrop. The method involves partially connecting two round parachutes that have openings and pulldown skirts on their canopies. Glide and steering are achieved by maneuvering the pulldown skirt. This method was developed and tested first using a cluster of two one-quarter-scale G12 cargo parachutes. System glide and turn were demonstrated on a cluster of two full-scale G12 parachutes. Currently, the method is being applied to a cluster of two GI 1 parachutes for precision airdrop of a 4,540 kg load.

Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 9, pp. 1528–1534, 2004.PURPOSE:: The purpose of this study was to 1) determine the effect of hypohydration (HYPO) on thirst sensations during moderate exercise in the cold and 2) determine a possible mechanism for a cold-induced decline in thirst.METHODS:: In the first phase of the study, eight males walked on four occasions, in T-shirts, shorts, and shoes, at 50% V̇O2max, for 60 min in either a 4°C (cold) or 27°C (temperate) environment in a state of HYPO or euhydration (EU). In the second phase, nine males in states of EU or HYPO randomly performed four trials consisting of 30 min standing at 27°C, followed by 30 min of standing and 30 min of treadmill exercise at 50% of V̇O2max, in either 4°C or 27°C air.RESULTS:: In phase 1, thirst sensations were lower throughout 60 min of exercise (P < 0.05) in both HYPO and EU conditions during the cold trials. In phase 2, despite elevated plasma osmolality (P < 0.05), perception of thirst and plasma arginine vasopressin [AVP] similarly decreased (P < 0.05) after 30-min standing rest and 30-min exercise in the HYPO-cold trial, compared with the HYPO-temperate, EU-cold, and EU-temperate trials.CONCLUSIONS:: When either euhydrated or hypohydrated, cold exposure attenuated thirst by up to 40% at rest and during moderate-intensity exercise. The attenuated thirst when hypohydrated during cold exposure was associated with lower plasma [AVP] despite an elevated plasma osmolality. This decline in thirst and AVP in the cold may be the result of peripheral vasoconstriction, mediating an increase in central blood volume and stimulation of central volume receptors.

Students first completed a Web-based tutorial on writing effective multiple-choice questions and then authored questions on a given topic. Next, using the Web-based tool, groups of students reviewed and critiqued questions written by others within their group on the same topic. Based on these critiques, students were permitted to modify their original questions. They then were tested on questions prepared by other groups, either on the same or on other topics. Students who collaborated within a topic scored approximately 7% higher on the test within that topic than students who either collaborated on other topics or did not use the collaboration tool. Of the 336 questions developed, 77% were considered acceptable by instructors, indicating that the questions could be repurposed for inclusion in future tests. A majority of the critiques were constructive, indicating that the collaborative process was supportive of learning.

In this study, four up-scaling methods were derived based on simple and ordinary cokriging estimators and a sequential Gaussian cosimulation algorithm for points and blocks. Taking spatial variability of variables into account in the up-scaling process made it possible to simultaneously and accurately obtain estimates and estimation variances of larger blocks from sample and image data of smaller supports. With the aid of Thematic Mapper imagery, these methods were compared in a case study where overall vegetation and tree covers were sealed up from a spatial resolution of 30 × 30 m² to 90 × 90 m² with a stratification method at 90 × 90 m². The results showed that the methods Point simple coKriging-Point co-Simulation scaling UP (PsK-PSUP) and PsK-Block co-Simulation (PsK-BS) led to smaller errors and better reproduced spatial distribution and variability of the variables than the other methods. Choosing PsK-PSUP or PsK-BS depends on the users' emphasis on accuracy of estimates and variances, computational time, etc. The methods can be applied to multiple continuous variables that have any distribution. It is also expected that the general idea behind the methods can be expanded to scaling-up spatial data for categorical variables.

T1 - PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND FLUCTUATING ASYMMETRY AS INDICATORS OF PLANT RESPONSE TO SOIL DISTURBANCE IN THE FALL-LINE SANDHILLS OF GEORGIA: A CASE STUDY USING RHUS COPALLINUM AND IPOMOEA PANDURATA. JO - International Journal of Plant Sciences JF - International Journal of Plant Sciences Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 165 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 805 EP - 816 SN - 10585893 AB - We examined net photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, and leaf fluctuating asymmetry on two species (Rhus copallinum and Ipomoea pandurata) as indicators of stress at nine sites across a gradient of soil disturbance at Fort Benning, Georgia. There were three sites for each of three disturbance levels. Physical habitat disturbance was caused by activities associated with infantry training, including mechanized elements (tanks and personnel carriers) and foot soldiers. In addition, we examined the influence of prescribed burns and microhabitat effects (within meter-square quadrats centered about the plant) on these measures of plant stress. Net photosynthesis declined with increasing disturbance in the absence of burning for both species. However, when sites were burned the previous year, net photosynthesis increased with increasing disturbance. Developmental instability in Rhus, as measured by fluctuating asymmetry, also declined with increasing disturbance in the absence of burning but increased with disturbance if sites were burned the previous year. Developmental instability was much less sensitive to burning in Ipomoea and in general was lowest at intermediate disturbance sites. Microenvironmental and microhabitat effects were weakly correlated with measures of plant stress when all sites were combined. However, higher correlations were obtained within site categories, especially when the recent history of prescribed burning was used as a category. Finally, using all of the combined data in a discriminant function analysis allowed us to correctly predict the disturbance level of more than 80% of the plants. Plant stress is responsive to both large-scale perturbations, such as burning, and microhabitat parameters. Because of this, it is important to include macro- and microhabitat parameters when assessing stress. Similarly, we found a combination of developmental and physiological indicators of stress was superior to using them separately.

The supramolecular organization of polymeric nanomicelles was studied by 1H NMR longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and light scattering techniques (static and dynamic). Interestingly, the enzyme novozyme-435 plays an important role in controlling the polymerization and distribution of polymer chains, which is critical for the formation of nanomicelles with unimodal distributions. The methodology developed is highly flexible as it allows the introduction of various functionalities in the polymeric nanomicelles. These self-organized nanomicelles are highly efficient drug delivery vehicles for hydrophobic and partially hydrophilic drugs, both transdermally and orally, as they have the ability to encapsulate guest molecules during self-organization. In vivo studies by encapsulating anti-inflammatory agents (aspirin and naproxen) in these polymeric nanomicelles and by applying topically resulted in significant reduction in inflammation. The % reduction in inflammation using polymeric nanomicelles containing aspirin and naproxen was 62 and 64%, respectively.

The porous AMMA membrane was prepared by the phase inversion method with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent and water as the non-solvent. We observed that morphology of the resulting membrane was strongly affected by the concentration of polymer solution: low concentration produced finger-like pores with dense skin on two surfaces of the membrane, while high concentration yielded open voids with dense layer on the other surface of the membrane. Regardless of their morphology, both membranes could be rapidly wetted by the liquid electrolyte (1.0 m LiBF4 dissolved in 1:3 wt.% mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and γ-butyrolactone (GBL)), and could be swollen at elevated temperatures, which resulted in the formation of a microporous gel electrolyte (MGE). It was shown that the resulting MGE not only had high ionic conductivity and but also had good compatibility with metal lithium even at 60 °C. Cyclic voltammetric test showed that the MGE had an electrochemical window of 4.9 V versus Li+/Li. At room temperature, the Li/MGE/LiMn2O4 cell showed excellent cycliability with a specific capacity of 121–125 mA h g-1 LiMn2O4. It was shown that even at 60 °C good mechanical strength of the MGE remained. Therefore, the MGE is suitable for the application of battery separator at elevated temperatures.

The main focus of this work is development of a noise prediction methodology, which will enable the study of the aeroacoustic aspects a rotorcraft in maneuvering flight. It is assumed that the aeromechanical data (namely aircraft and blade motion, blade airloads) are provided as input data. This new noise prediction capability was developed for rotors in steady and transient maneuvering flight. Featuring an object-oriented design, the PSU-WOPWOP code allows great flexibility for complex rotor configuration and motion (including multiple rotors and full aircraft motion). The relative locations and number of hinges, flexures, and body motions can be arbitrarily specified to match any specific rotorcraft. An analysis of algorithm efficiency was performed for maneuver noise prediction along with a description of the tradeoffs made specifically for the maneuvering noise problem. Noise predictions for the mainrotor of a rotorcraft in steady descent, transient (arrested) descent, hover and a “pop-up” maneuver are demonstrated.

Animals were exposed to UWB pulses in a giga transverse electromagnetic cell (GTEM) with the body axis parallel to the direction of UWB propagation (k-polarization) or the magnetic field vector (H-polarization) in separate experiments. In both experiments, UWB pulses at animal thorax had 106 kV/m peak amplitude, 0.78-4L79 ns duration, and 170-186 ps rise time (mean values) and were applied in 25-ms bursts at 1-kHz repetition frequency. The bursts were synchronized to the artifact-free ECG and occurred either during the R-wave or the T-wave of the ECG. Time intervals measured and analyzed in the ECG were PR, the time between start of P-wave and start of R-wave; RT, the time between start of R-wave and apex of the T-wave; and QT, the time between start of R-wave and end of T-wave. The time between successive R-waves, RR, was also determined. No change attributable to UWB exposure was seen in any of these intervals within S cardiac cycles of the start of exposure. We conclude that UWB pulses applied during the R-wave or the T-wave do not acutely change timing of events in the cardiac cycle of the anesthetized rat.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science JF - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Y1 - 2004/08/02/Aug2004 Part 2 of 3 VL - 32 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1579 EP - 1586 SN - 00933813 AB - Cytotoxic effects of 10-ns electrical pulses (EP, 50-380 kV/cm) were analyzed in cultured U937 cells (human lymphoma). Densities of live and dead cells were compared in over 500 samples at intervals from 0.5 to 48 h post exposure. EP trains of 1-20 pulses caused a minor, if any, decrease in cell survival: 24 h post exposure, the density of live cells typically dropped just 10-20% compared with unexposed parallel control. Within studied limits, this effect did not significantly depend on the EP number, voltage, or repetition rate. However, much longer EP trains could cause a sharp survival decline. The transition from plateau to profound cell killing occurred at about 150 pulses at 150 kV/cm, and at over 1000 pulses at 50 kV/cm. Artifact-free titer-mometry using a fiber optic microprobe established unequivocally that cell killing by extra-long EP trains was not a result of sample heating and has to be explained by other mechanisms. Testing for specific apoptotic cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase at scattered time intervals (1-24 h) after EP exposure produced mostly negative results. Overall, 10-ns EP caused far weaker cytotoxic effect than it was reported earlier from experiments in other cell lines and mostly with longer pulses (60 and 300 ns). The survival curve shape (i.e., the shoulder followed by exponential decline) is also characteristic for other cytotoxic factors, such as low-LET ionizing radiation, thereby possibly pointing to common mechanisms or targets.

It is not generally appreciated that the same results can be obtained by using standard methods to solve the relevant partial differential equations: the exact Rayleigh-Sommerfeld integral is equivalent to the scalar Helmholtz equation, and the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld integral in the Fresnel approximation is equivalent to the paraxial wave equation. In view of students' familiarity with the latter partial differential equation, some pedagogical advantages may be realized if diffraction theory is also formulated in terms of partial differential equations as a supplement to the usual integral formulation.

We find that superior human capital, harmonious civil-military relations, and Western cultural background are largely responsible. These traits correlate positively with democracy, and account for democracy's apparent effectiveness bonus. This is either good news or bad news for democratic effectiveness theorists. Many believe that democracy causes these traits. If so, our findings strengthen democratic effectiveness theory by explicating its causal mechanism. But others see democracy as a consequence rather than a cause of such traits. If so, our findings challenge the thesis by identifying alternative causes of the effectiveness bonus previously attributed to democracy. Either way, the results show a powerful effect for unit level variables in military performance. In the process, these same results sharpen our understanding of military effectiveness in general, and the relationship between military performance and regime type in particular.

One-year afterwards, there has been a significant increase in the occurrence of myocarditis and pericarditis among those vaccinated.Methods: Cases were identified through sentinel reporting to military headquarters, systematic surveillance, and spontaneous reports.Results: A total of 540,824 military personnel were vaccinated with a New York City Board of Health strain of vaccinia from December 2002 through December 2003. Of these, 67 developed myopericarditis at 10.4 ± 3.6 days after vaccination. The ST-segment elevation was noted in 57%, mean troponin on admission was 11.3± 22.7 ng/dl, and peak cardiac enzymes were noted within 8 h of presentation. On follow-up of 64 patients (96%) at a mean of 32 ± 16 weeks, all patients had objective normalization of echocardiography, electrocardiography, laboratory testing, graded exercise testing, and functional status; 8 (13%) reported atypical, non-limiting persistent chest discomfort.Conclusions: Post-vaccinial myopericarditis should be considered in patients with chest pain within 30 days after smallpox vaccination. Normalization of echocardiography, electrocardiography, and treadmill testing is expected, and nearly all patients have resolution of chest pain on follow-up.

At impact stress around 6 GPa and above, spall strength data of these materials show a continuous decrease in the magnitude of spall strength. This unusual trend in the spall strength of silicon carbides may be due to the competing roles of (i) localized plasticity, (ii) generation and propagation of cracks taking into consideration their relative dominance below and above a given magnitude of stress. This work presents the results of spall experiments conducted to test the relative dominance hypothesis by determining whether the observed initial increase in spall strength of silicon carbide is due to dominance of localized plastic deformation over crack-dominated brittle deformation, while the observed decline in the spall strength with an increase in the shock-induced stress reflects a dominance of crack-induced brittle deformation over plastic deformation.

The four materials examined are α-SiC, AD995 Al2O3, β-Si3N4, and SiAlON. In each case, the dynamic failure process is studied through dynamic loading of cylindrical specimens within a compression Kolsky bar combined with high-speed photography. Strain rates in the range of 10³ s-1 are achieved (the corresponding loading rates are on the order of 200 MPa/µs). The dynamic failure process for all four ceramics consists of the development and propagation of axial splitting cracks followed by columnar fragmentation. Macroscopic cracks (propagating with crack velocities of several hundred meters per second) and substantial volumetric strains are observed well before the peak strength is attained.

Quasistatic indentation testing is one of the most widely utilized techniques for determining the hardness of armor ceramics. Hardness measurements can also be used to generate other property values that may be relevant to ballistic performance (fracture toughness, elastic properties, and even the yield strength). While the indentation methodologies are simple and straightforward, the resultant hardness values for ceramic materials can be influenced by the indenter geometry, indentation load, loading rate, specimen surface finish, and microstructure. This presentation will summarize the results of a study to determine the hardness of a variety of armor-grade ceramics with different indenter geometries (Vickers and Knoop) over a range of indentation loads (0.98-98 N) and discuss the implications for armor ceramics. The resulting data strongly indicate that the best means of determining the hardness of armor ceramics is the use of 19.6-N Knoop indentations.

SiC rubble resulting from ballistic tests was examined, as were quasi-static test samples. Ballistic fragment fracture surfaces revealed large carbonaceous defects that seemed to affect fracture path and mode. Low-strength biaxial flexure samples demonstrated similar defects (>0.1 mm) as failure origins. Carbonaceous defects similar in appearance but smaller in size were also found at the fracture origins of SiC bend bars. Frequently, alumina inclusions were found within the carbonaceous discontinuities. These alumina inclusions may cause the graphitic regions to form during sintering. The random distribution of such large, rare carbonaceous discontinuities from sample-to-sample, as well as batch-to-batch variability, may explain high ballistic variability for SiC armor ceramics.

The theory is used to compare the performance between reflector IRAs with common transverse electromagnetic feed configurations that have been designed to maximize the boresight fields. It is found that moving the feed arms of reflector IRAs toward the vertical helps to reduce sidelobe levels, as reflector IRAs with their feed arms oriented at 60° from the horizontal have sidelobes that are 4-5 dB lower in the H plane and 1-2 dB lower in the E plane than more traditional reflector IRAs with feed arms oriented at 45°. The lower sidelobes are accompanied by a higher peak gain, albeit with a wider beamwidth. There are corresponding significant differences in the time domain waveforms that result. The theory is verified by comparison with experimental data from a half IRA with feed arms at 45°. The peak fields, pulse widths, and overall waveform shapes agree well between theory and experiment, though there are temporal asymmetries in the measured data that are not predicted by the theory.

The detection of the tantalum phases is based on the large difference in electrical conductivity between them. Measurements based on the method agree well with values based on theoretical calculations. We applied the method in a two-probe differential system having higher sensitivity and less noise than a one-probe system. The probe uses pulsed eddy currents with a pulsewidth of 1 μs, allowing us to scan at rates of upto 105pulses per second on a computer-controlled XY table for fast data acquisition. When the system was used to scan steel samples coated with 12.5-30 μm of tantalum, a clear difference between alpha and beta phases was observed. The system was also used to measure the conductivity of the alpha and beta phases. We present here a conductivity map of the sample.

The leading 25% of a VR-12 airfoil is drooped as it executes sinusoidal pitch oscillations such that the leading portion of the airfoil is always at a low effective incidence to the flow. Airfoil performance data determined for freestream Mach numbers ranging from 0.2 to 0.4, at reduced frequencies from 0 to 0.1, and using unsteady pressure transducer measurements, show that droop reduces the tendency of the airfoil to enter the dynamic stall state. Even when it does, the strength of the dynamic stall vortex is significantly reduced, which is reflected in the 40 to 50% smaller negative peak pitching-moment values, with positive damping of the airfoil. Also, the airfoil drag when the droop is dynamically varied is reduced by up to 75% relative to a nondrooped airfoil, making a strong case for the use of this concept for dynamic stall control.

The use of analytical modeling methods based on first principles is often difficult for UAVs because of short design cycles, reduced development costs, and many unconventional designs. Also, without the need to carry a pilot, UAVs are often much smaller and lighter than manned aircraft. The lower weights and inertias result in higher natural frequencies and quicker vehicle responses requiring high bandwidth dynamics models. Frequency-domain system identification is especially well suited to the modeling of UAVs. With the availability of flight hardware early in many UAV programs, dynamic response models of the vehicle can be identified and validated rapidly with flight data. The system identification method also allows for rapid updating of vehicle response models as physical changes are made to the vehicle configuration. The use of frequency-domain system identification in the development and operation of a number of UAV programs is discussed. The example aircraft programs include Northrop Grumman's Fire Scout vertical takeoff unmanned air vehicle demonstrator based on the Schweizer 300 helicopter; the broad-area unmanned responsive resupply operations UAV based on Kámán's twin-rotor K-MAX helicopter; AeroVironment's Pathfinder solar-powered stratospheric research aircraft; Yamaha's R-50 small-scale helicopter; and the class of small-scale ducted fan vehicles developed separately by Allied Aerospace (formerly Micro Craft) and Honeywell.

In this study we investigated the reduction of NO with cast iron as a potential treatment method. NO was reduced stepwise to glycerol via 1,2- and 1,3-dinitroglycerins (ONGs) and 1- and 2-mononitroglycerins (MNGs). Nitrite was released in each reduction step and was further reduced to NH4+. Adsorption of NC and its reduction products to cast iron was minimal. A reaction pathway and a kinetic model for NO reduction with cast iron were proposed. The estimated surface area-normalized reaction rate constants for NG and NO2- were (1.65 ± 0.30) × 10-2 (L·m-2h-1) and (0.78 ± 0.09) × 10-2 (L·m-2h-1), respectively. Experiments using dialysis cell with iron and a graphite sheet showed that reduction of NO to glycerol can be mediated by graphite. However, reduction of NO2- mediated by graphite was very slow. NG and NO2- were also found to reduce to glycerol and NH4+ by Fe2+ in the presence of magnetite but not by aqueous Fe2+ or magnetite alone. These results indicate that in a cast iron-water system NO may be reduced via multiple mechanisms involving different reaction sites, whereas nitrite is reduced mainly by iron and! or adsorbed Fe2+. The study demonstrates that iron can rapidly reduce NG to innocuous and biodegradable end products and represents a new approach to treat NG- containing wastewaters.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/07// VL - 23 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 1751 EP - 1761 SN - 07307268 AB - A 28-d partial life-cycle test with the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was developed in response to the need for an assay to mimic chronic exposure to sediment-associated contaminants. To ensure that toxicity tests have environmental relevance, it is essential to evaluate the relationship between laboratory responses and field measures of contamination. Consequently, one objective of the study was to compare the results of the chronic sediment toxicity test with L. plumulosus to gradients of sediment contamination and the in situ benthic community in its native Chesapeake Bay. Chronic tests were conducted by two laboratories, the Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station ([WES]; Vicksburg, MS, USA) and the University of Maryland ([UM] College Park, MD, USA) using different feeding regimes, providing the opportunity to evaluate the effect of this variable on response sensitivity. A second objective was to compare the relative sensitivity of acute and chronic tests with L. plumulosus with field-collected sediments. Overall, there was good agreement between the toxicological response of acute and chronic tests with L. plumulosus and field measures of contamination. Survival in the acute test and chronic test conducted by WES was negatively correlated with concentrations of sediment-associated contaminants. Survival in acute exposures was significantly reduced in sediments from 8 of 11 stations. Indigenous L. plumulosus were found only at two of the three stations that did not exhibit acute toxicity. An unexpected finding was the difference in responsiveness of the two chronic tests. Survival in tests conducted by UM and WES was significantly reduced in sediments from 4 and 6 of 11 stations, respectively. No additional sublethal toxicity was detected in the UM chronic test, but the WES test detected reproductive effects at two additional stations. We believe the observed differences were related to the test diet used. Partly as a result of our...

Yet, many of the original sources for common design practices used today remain obscure. This paper traces the significant developments in lightning protection from the late 1700s to the modern day. Emphasis is placed on significant events in the history that have had direct consequences in the establishment of design practices for lightning protection. It is also demonstrated that many of the design practices used today were subject to significant scrutiny and empirical qualification. Our intent is to familiarize the student of lightning protection design with the original literature, testing, and other noteworthy contributions to the design of effective lightning protection systems.

These novel molecules all contain a tetra-substituted central phenyl ring, but the length, chemical structure, and placement of the arms is varied in order to tailor their hole and electron transport properties. The materials are all solution-processible, maintain conjugation through the arms and central core, and exhibit evidence of two- and possibly three-dimensional charge delocalization. The first molecule contains four phenylenevinylene arms with solubilizing octyloxy-substituted units. Two of the molecules have two phenylenevinylene arms and two oxadiazole arms that are placed ortho or para with respect to each other. The fourth molecule contains four cyano-phenylenevinylene arms with solubilizing octyloxy groups at the ends of each arm. As a class these molecules all have large Stokes shifts in films, although the propensity for &pgr;−&pgr; stacking varies between the molecules. The oxadiazole-containing molecules show promise for applications in single-layer LEDs.

JO - Journal of the American Water Resources Association JF - Journal of the American Water Resources Association Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 40 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 677 EP - 689 SN - 1093474X AB - For more than 30 years, a program of continuous monitoring of pH, acidity, alkalinity, and other parameters has been maintained on a network of large streams degraded by acid mine drainage in the northern Appalachian high sulfur coal region. Continuous records since 1952 are available at a number of stations, and at several stations, acidity records date back to 1930. Comparable analysis techniques were maintained over the period of record, assuring the long term continuity of the database. This monitoring program has captured integrated long term trends within large and complex watersheds with numerous and varied types of mine discharges. The focus of this paper is a historical trend analysis of lightly to severely acid degraded major tributaries of the Allegheny River. Over the past three decades, all of the Allegheny River drainage basin stations have demonstrated steady and substantial declines in acidity and associated increases in pH and alkalinity. The average recorded decline in total acidity at four stations monitored since the 1950s was 94 percent. Since the 1970s, acidity declined by an average of 63 percent at 10 stations. Oxidative exhaustion of pyritic minerals exposed by mining is proposed as a major factor influencing these trends.

T1 - Estimation of Subpixel Target Size for Remotely Sensed Imagery. JO - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing JF - IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2004/06// VL - 42 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1309 EP - 1320 SN - 01962892 AB - One of the challenges in remote sensing image processing is subpixel detection where the target size is smaller than the ground sampling distance, therefore, embedded in a single pixel. Under such a circumstance, these targets can be only detected spectrally at the subpixel level, not spatially as ordinarily conducted by classical image processing techniques. This paper investigates a more challenging issue than subpixel detection, which is the estimation of target size at the subpixel level. More specifically, when a subpixel target is detected, we would like to know "what is the size of this particular target within the pixel?" The proposed approach is to estimate the abundance fraction of a subpixel target present in a pixel, then find what portion it contributes to the pixel that can be used to determine the size of the subpixel target by multiplying the ground sampling distance. In order to make our idea work, the subpixel target abundance fraction must be accurately estimated to truly reflect the portion of a subpixel target occupied within a pixel. So, a fully constrained linear unmixing method is required to reliably estimate the abundance fractions of a subpixel target for its size estimation. In this paper, a recently developed fully constrained least squares linear unmixing is used for this purpose. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the utility of the proposed method in comparison with an unconstrained linear unmixing method, unconstrained least squares method, two partially constrained least square linear unmixing methods, sum-to-one constrained least squares, and nonnegativity constrained least squares.

Administration of rotenone can induce biochemical and histological alterations similar to those of Parkinson''s disease in rats. However, only a subset of animals show these effects and it is unclear whether more subtle alterations are caused by chronic administration of rotenone in those animals that appear resistant to its toxic effects on dopaminergic nerve terminals. To address this question, vehicle or rotenone (2.0, 2.5, or 3.5 mg/kg/day) was administered intravenously or subcutaneously for 21 days to adult rats, and rotenone effects on survival, motor behavior, and striatal tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity (TH-IR) were examined. Both intravenous and subcutaneous rotenone induced a dose-dependent decrease in survival rates. Surviving animals showed a decrease in spontaneous rearing. Locomotor activity and movement initiation time were also altered in some of the experimental groups. Confirming previous results, TH-IR in the striatum was markedly decreased in rats that fell ill early in the study and in a few of the surviving rats with high rotenone doses. However, none of the surviving rats receiving 2.0 mg/kg/day showed TH-IR loss reminiscent of Parkinson''s disease, and loss of striatal TH-IR across doses was not correlated with motor behavior in individual rats. Thus, chronic administration of low doses of rotenone induces motor anomalies even in animals that do not develop histological signs of Parkinson''s disease, indicating a pervasive neurological effect of moderate mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo.

A sample of participants, expert in interacting with a newly developed tactical display for the U.S. Army's Bradley Fighting Vehicle, individually modeled their knowledge of 4 specific tasks employing the CAT-HCI tool. Measures of the accuracy and consistency of task models created by these task domain experts using the tool were compared with task models created by a double expert. The findings indicated a high degree of consistency and accuracy between the different "single experts" in the task domain in terms of the resultant models generated using the tool. Actual or potential applications of this research include assessing human-computer interaction complexity, determining the productivity of human-computer interfaces, and analyzing an interface design to determine whether methods can be automated.

External resistances to inhalation or exhalation were varied in each of the trials. The data collected were analyzed for possible correlation between facial characteristics and breathing resistance. Although respirator resistances were found to vary, no statistically significant correlation was found with anthropometric measurements.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of vestibulosympathetic activation on cerebral and autonomic rhythms. We recorded the ECG, finger arterial pressure, end-tidal CO2, respiration, cerebral blood flow velocity, and MSNA in eight subjects. Subjects breathed at 0.25 Hz for 5 min in the prone and head-down positions. We analyzed data in time and frequency domains and performed cross-spectral analyses to determine coherence and transfer function magnitude. Head-down rotation increased MSNA from 7 ± 1.3 to 12 ± 1.5 bursts/min (P = 0.001) but did not affect R-R intervals, arterial pressures, mean cerebral blood flow velocities (Vmean), or their power spectra. Vestibular activation with head-down rotation had no effect on mean arterial pressure and Vmean transfer function magnitude. The two new findings from this study are 1) head-down rotation independently activates the sympathetic nervous system with no effect on parasympathetic activity or Vmean; and 2) frequency-dependent associations between arterial pressures and Vmean are independent of vestibular activation. These findings support the concept that vestibular-autonomic interactions independently and redundantly serve to maintain steady-state hemodynamics.

Spinach and parrotfeather extract solutions removed 99% and 50% of the initial TNT, respectively; TNT was not eliminated in the controls or in extract solutions where removal activity was deactivated by boiling. A first-order removal constant of 0.052 h−1 was estimated for spinach extract solutions treating 20 mg l−1 TNT concentrations, which compared favorably to intact plant removal. Concentration variation was described by Michaelis–Menton kinetics. Detectable TNT degradation products represented only a fraction of the total TNT transformed, and the transformation favored the formation of 4-aminodinitrotoluene. The results indicated that crude plant extracts transform TNT, without the presence of the live plant.

Strain HAAP-1 was isolated after enriching for the homoacetogens in a mineral medium containing RDX and an H2-CO2 (80:20) headspace. Strain HAAP-1 degraded 29.0 μM RDX in <14 days and formed 13.0 mM acetate when grown in a mineral medium with an H2-CO2 headspace. Methylenedinitramine was observed as a transient intermediate, indicating ring cleavage had occurred. In live cultures containing an N2-CO2 headspace, RDX was not degraded, and no acetate was formed. The 16S rRNA gene sequence for strain HAAP-1, consisting of 1485 base pairs, had a 99.2% and 99.1% sequence similarity to Acetobacterium malicum and A. wieringae, respectively. This is the first report of RDX degradation by a homoacetogen growing autotrophically and extends the number of genera known to carry out this transformation.

The changes in trim (vehicle orientations and control settings) because of auxiliary lift and propulsion are also examined in detail, and the fundamental mechanisms that produce the changes in trim and associated vibration reductions are identified. Based on results using a comprehensive aeroelastic analysis, it was concluded that auxiliary lift, alone, produces relatively small reductions in vibration. On the other hand, significant vibration reductions were obtained through auxiliary propulsion alone. A combination of lift and propulsion was most effective and reduced the vibration index by over 90%. It was also observed that auxiliary lift significantly reduces the main rotor thrust but increases the nose-down pitch attitude and tip-path-plane forward tilt to provide the required propulsive force. This increases the downwash through the rotor disk and requires a larger rotor longitudinal cyclic pitch input. In contrast, auxiliary propulsion that minimizes vibration produces little reduction in main rotor thrust, but results in a slightly nose-up pitch attitude (the auxiliary propulsion exceeds vehicle drag) along with a backward tilt of the tip-path plane. This decreases the downwash through the rotor disk and requires a smaller rotor longitudinal cyclic pitch input. A combination of auxiliary lift and propulsion minimizes vibration results in an even larger backward tilt of the tip-path plane and a net upwash through the rotor disk. The rotor collective pitch undergoes little change as a result of auxiliary lift, even though the main rotor thrust is decreased.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/05// VL - 23 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1335 EP - 1343 SN - 07307268 AB - The study examined the temporal response of Hyalella azteca to pentachlorobenzene (PCBZ) in water-only exposures. Toxicity was evaluated by calculating the body residue of PCBZ associated with survival. The concentration of PCBZ in the tissues of H. azteca associated with 50% mortality decreased from 3 to 0.5 μmol/g over the temporal range of 1 to 28 d, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the body residue calculated for 50% mortality when the value was determined using live or dead organisms. Metabolism of PCBZ was not responsible for the temporal response because no detectable PCBZ biotransformation occurred over an exposure period of 10 d. A damage assessment model was used to evaluate the impact and repair of damage by PCBZ on H. azteca. The toxicokinetics were determined so that the temporal toxicity data could be fit to a damage assessment model. The half-life calculated for the elimination of PCBZ averaged approximately 49 h, while the value determined for the half-life of damage repair from the damage assessment model was 33 h.

It can be applied to any situation for which the odor-causing agent is known and a purified standard is available. The attribute rating test requires that a standard solution of the odorant be prepared at a concentration that is both readily recognized by most individuals and likely to evoke customer complaints. Within an hour individuals can be trained to compare the odor type and intensity of the standard to water samples, then rate the odor in the sample as "not detected," "less than the standard," "equal to standard," or "greater than the standard." The attribute rating test was successfully used by a full-scale water treatment facility to monitor the intensity of geosmin in the source water and to determine the effectiveness of powdered activated carbon for controlling its earthy-odor in treated water.

These men, who died between 1907-1932, had an average age at death of 76.7 years. Ninety percent were institutionalized at the Confederate Home for Men (Austin, TX) prior to their deaths. This elderly sample was assessed in terms of caries, antemortem tooth loss (AMTL), abscesses, and linear enamel hypoplasias. On a per tooth basis, the AMTL rate was 57.2%. Of 39 dentate men, 33 (84.6%) had dental caries, and 24.4% (121 of 496) of teeth were carious. Ten (25.0%) of the dentate men had hypoplastic teeth. At least one abscess was seen in 14 (28%) of 50 individuals. Results from this geriatric institutionalized sample are compared to contemporaneous historical samples. Disparities in dental health among these groups may be due to differences in average age at death, and these comparisons allow a better understanding of dental changes that occur with age. The sample is also compared to modern elderly samples: modem groups have higher caries rates, possibly because they retained more teeth. This finding may be due in part to diets in the United States becoming increasingly cariogenic over time. In addition, dental care has moved from the reactive practices seen in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (such as tooth extractions) to modern proactive solutions dedicated to preserving and restoring teeth (such as tooth brushing, fluoride treatments, and dental fillings).

Several pigmented variants of B. subtilis have been reclassified as B. atrophaeus, but several remain ambiguous in regard to their taxonomic placement. In this study, we examined strains within the American Type Culture Collection originally deposited as Bacillus globigii, B. subtilis var. niger, or Bacillus niger using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to determine the level of molecular diversity among these strains and their relationship with closely related taxa. The 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed little variation with one base substitution between the B. atrophaeus type strain ATCC 49337 and the other pigmented bacilli. AFLP analysis produced high-quality DNA fingerprints with sufficient polymorphism to reveal strain-level variation. Cluster analysis of Dice similarity coefficients revealed that three strains, ATCC 31028, ATCC 49760, and ATCC 49822, are much more closely related to B. atrophaeus than to B. subtilis and should be reclassified as B. atrophaeus. A very closely related cluster of B. atrophaeus strains was also observed; this cluster was genetically distinct from the type strain. The level of variation between the two groups was approximately the same as the level of variation observed between members of the two B. subtilis subspecies, subtilis and spizizenii. It is proposed that the cluster of strains typified by ATCC 9372 be designated a new subspecies, B. atrophaeus subsp, globigii.

JO - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A JF - Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health: Part A Y1 - 2004/04/23/ VL - 67 IS - 8-10 M3 - Article SP - 697 EP - 714 SN - 15287394 AB - Currently the Department of Defense (DoD) does not use exposure biomarkers to measure service members' exposure to environmental chemicals. Blood and urine exposure biomarkers for volatile organic compounds (VOC), selected heavy metals, depleted uranium (DU), and chemical warfare agents are currently available but have not been field tested or validated by the DoD in military deployments as a tool to document exposures. The Military Deployment Human Exposure Assessment Study, a prospective cohort of 46 soldiers deployed to Bosnia, was designed to field test blood and urine exposure biomarkers as a mechanism to document exposures to these chemicals during military deployments. Blood and urine were collected before, during, and after deployment. Standard questionnaire, environmental, and occupational monitoring data collection methods were conducted for comparison to the exposure biomarker results. This article compares and reports the pre-, during, and postdeployment urine total and isotopic uranium measurements and compares them to perceived exposures captured on questionnaire, to environmental data collected by the United Nations Environmental Program in Bosnia, and to standard U.S. urine uranium reference levels (CDC, 2003). Additionally, the questionnaire and environmental and occupational measurements are reported. The results of the study indicate that exposure biomarkers may be a valuable tool to the DoD in exposure and risk assessment with regard to environmental and occupational exposures to uranium.

The physical form of the deposited explosives has a bearing on this problem, yet the shapes and size distributions of the explosive particles remaining after detonations are not known.We collected residues from 8 high-order and 6 low-order non-tactical detonations of TNT-filled 155-mm rounds. We found significant variation in the amount of TNT scattered from the high-order detonations, ranging from 0.00001 to 2% of the TNT in the original shell. All low-order detonations scattered percent-level amounts of TNT. We imaged thousands of TNT particles and determined the size, mass and surface-area distributions of particles collected from one high-order and one low-order detonation. For the high-order detonation, particles smaller than 1 mm contribute most of the mass and surface area of the TNT scattered. For the low-order detonation, most of the scattered TNT mass was in the form of un-heated, centimeter-sized pieces whereas most of the surface area was again from particles smaller than 1 mm. We also observed that the large pieces of TNT disintegrate readily, giving rise to many smaller particles that can quickly dissolve. We suggest picking up the large pieces of TNT before they disintegrate to become point sources of contamination.

The PPDHA was fielded from October 15, 2001, to January 15, 2002. Fundamental in this assessment was the evaluation of the mental health impact as a result of the attack.: MethodsAlthough a number of standardized instruments exist for mental health domains, most are lengthy and could not be used as a rapid health assessment. Instead, a short screening instrument consisting of 17 questions was developed that covered important mental health symptom domains, mental health functioning, and possible predictive risk factors. High-risk groups for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and alcohol abuse were assessed, and validation of risk groups was assessed across functional levels.: ResultsOverall, 1837 (40%) respondents met the screening criteria for any of the symptom domains of interest 1 to 4 months after the attack: PTSD (7.9%), depression (17.7%), panic attacks (23.1%), generalized anxiety (26.9%), or alcohol abuse (2.5%). Mental health risk groups were highly correlated with self-reported reduced daily functioning and use of counseling services. Additionally, risk factors known to be associated with mental health problems after traumatic events were strongly predictive of the high-risk categories identified.: ConclusionsMental health concerns were common among Pentagon employees in the 4 months after the 9/11 attack. Data from this study suggested that the short mental health screening instrument had validity and can serve as a prototype for rapid public health assessment of the mental health impact of future traumatic events.

The recent availability of whole genome sequences of priority bacterial pathogens opens new diagnostic possibilities for identification of bacteria by retrieving theft genomic or proteomic information. We describe a method for identification of bacteria based on tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis of peptides derived from bacterial proteins. This method involves bacterial cell protein extraction, trypsin digestion, liquid chromatography MS/MS analysis of the resulting peptides, and a statistical scoring algorithm to rank MS/MS spectral matching results for bacterial identification. To facilitate spectral data searching, a proteome database was constructed by translating genomes of bacteria of interest with fully or partially determined sequences. In this work, a prototype database was constructed by the automated analysis of 87 publicly available, fully sequenced bacterial genomes with the GLIMMER gene finding software. MS/ MS peptide spectral matching for peptide sequence assignment against this proteome database was done by SEQUEST. To gauge the relative significance of the SEQUEST-generated matching parameters for correct peptide assignment, discriminant function (DF) analysis of these parameters was applied and DF scores were used to calculate probabilities of correct MS/MS spectra assignment to peptide sequences in the database. The peptides with DF scores exceeding a threshold value determined by the probability of correct peptide assignment were accepted and matched to the bacterial proteomes represented in the database. Sequence filtering or removal of degenerate peptides matched with multiple bacteria was then performed to further improve identification. It is demonstrated that using a preset criterion with known distributions of discriminant function scores and probabilities of correct peptide sequence assignments, a test bacterium within the 87 database microorganisms can be unambiguously identified.

Dynamic mechanical analyses (DMA) of these hybrid materials suggest that the silicate component preferentially incorporates within the sulfonated polystyrene (PS) domains. An irreversible order–order transition (OOT) for unmodified SEBS, sSEBS, and the organic/inorganic hybrids was identified using DMA in shear mode. The OOT temperature increases with sulfonation as well as by adding a silicate phase by the sol–gel process. The DMA results imply a morphological shift with sulfonation, and reflect modified interactions within and between phases. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicated a shift from hexagonally packed cylinders in unmodified SEBS to a lamellar morphology in the sulfonated materials, but silicate incorporation did not affect the morphology or domain dimensions. The latter result is evidence for sol–gel polymerization templating in a self-assembly process. The phase-separated morphology is stable up to the degradation temperature of the polymer and thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the degradation temperature is unaffected by silicate incorporation. Small angle X-ray scattering data are in harmony with the structures revealed by AFM in terms of degree of order and scale of features. These results are largely rationalized in terms of chain mobility restrictions due to hydrogen-bonding interactions between different sulfonated PS blocks, an increase in the PS-ethylene/butylene block mixing parameter, increased interfacial surface tension and chain restrictions posed by inserted silicate nanostructures in the case of the hybrid materials.

The authors used Cox's proportional hazard modeling with data from all DoD hospitals to estimate the probability of hospitalization resulting from any cause, resulting from diagnosis in a major diagnostic category, and resulting from a specific diagnosis of interest. After adjusting for other risk factors, registry participants were 1.43 times mare likely to have a postwar hospitalization than registry nonparticipants (95% confidence interval, 1.40-1.46). These findings support the hypothesis that registry participants were mare likely to experience postwar morbidity than veterans who chose not to enroll in the health registries.

Complete demographic, circumstantial, and medical information was sought for each case and recorded on an abstraction form. Mortality rates per 100,000 recruit-years were calculated by using recruit accession data from the Defense Manpower Data Center.: ResultsThere were 276 recruit deaths from 1977 through 2001 and age-specific recruit mortality rates were less than half of same-age U.S. civilian mortality rates. The majority (72%) of recruit deaths were classified as nontraumatic and 70% of these deaths (139 of 199) were related to exercise. Of the exercise-related deaths, 59 (42%) were cardiac deaths, and heat stress was a primary or contributory cause in at least 46 (33%). Infectious agents accounted for only 49 (25%) of the nontraumatic deaths. Nontraumatic death rates increased with age (rate ratio is 2.5 for 25+ v <25 years; p<0.001). The age- and gender-adjusted nontraumatic death rates were 2.6 times higher for African American than non–African American recruits (p<0.001).: ConclusionsAlthough recruit mortality rates are lower than the same-age U.S. civilian population, preventive measures focused on reducing heat stress during exercise might be effective in decreasing the high proportion of exercise-related death. The availability of 25 years of comprehensive recruit mortality data will permit the ongoing evaluation of cause-of-death trends, effectiveness of preventive measures, and identification of emerging threats during basic military training.

Only 28% (77 of 276) of recruit deaths were classified as traumatic (suicide, unintentional injury, and homicide), in comparison to three quarters in both the overall active duty military population and the U.S. civilian population (ages 15–34 years). The age-adjusted traumatic death rates were highest in the Army (four times higher than the Navy and Air Force, and 80% higher than the Marine Corps). The majority (60%) of traumatic deaths was due to suicide, followed by unintentional injuries (35%), and homicide (5%). The overall age-adjusted traumatic mortality rate was more than triple for men compared with women in all military services (rate ratio=3.9; p=0.01).: ConclusionsThere was a lower proportion of traumatic deaths in recruits compared to the overall active duty military population and same-age U.S. civilian population. This finding could be attributed to close supervision, emphasis on safety, and lack of access to alcohol and motor vehicles during recruit training.

Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 4, pp. 697'''708, 2004. PURPOSE: Adaptations of arm and thigh muscle hypertrophy to different long-term periodized resistance training programs and the influence of upper body resistance training were examined. METHODS: Eighty-five untrained women (mean age = 23.1 '' 3.5 yr) started in one of the following groups: total-body training [TP, N = 18 (3'''8 RM training range) and TH, N = 21 (8'''12 RM training range)], upper-body training [UP, N = 21 (3'''8 RM training range) and UH, N = 19, (8'''12 RM training range)], or a control group (CON, N = 6). Training took place on three alternating days per week for 24 wk. Assessments of body composition, muscular performance, and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were determined pretraining (T1), and after 12 (T2) and 24 wk (T3) of training. RESULTS: Arm CSA increased at T2 ('''11%) and T3 ('''6%) in all training groups and thigh CSA increased at T2 ('''3%) and T3 ('''4.5%) only in TP and TH. Squat one-repetition maximum (1 RM) increased at T2 ('''24%) and T3 ('''11.5%) only in TP and TH and all training groups increased 1 RM bench press at T2 ('''16.5%) and T3 ('''12.4%). Peak power produced during loaded jump squats increased from T1 to T3 only in TP (12%) and TH (7%). Peak power during the ballistic bench press increased at T2 only in TP and increased from T1 to T3 in all training groups. CONCLUSIONS: Training specificity was supported (as sole upper-body training did not influence lower-body musculature) along with the inclusion of heavier loading ranges in a periodized resistance-training program. This may be advantageous in a total conditioning program directed at development of muscle tissue mass in young women.

Even though the latter two initiatives are progressing well, the issue of capabilities could become the Achilles Heel of the NATO Alliance unless a corrective course is made. Generally, European states show little inclination to improve their military capabilities for the betterment of the Alliance, and the European Union Rapid Reaction Force is well on its way to becoming a white elephant for European security and defense policy, as well as a Trojan horse for NATO. On the other hand, NATO's streamlining of its military structure and the establishment of a response force provide the Alliance with a veritable expeditionary capability. These reforms place NATO on the cusp of equality with the United States as a security partner, but under its current military structure, the issue of capabilities will keep it from crossing the final hurdle. A fundamental overhaul of NATO's military structure is called for. Under the aegis of collective contributions for collective defense, downsizing the Alliance to nine integrated multinational divisions, each located in a division-sized base, would permit greater interoperability and burden sharing among NATO members as well as realize tremendous cost savings. Each member would contribute military forces according to its size and relative wealth rather than maintaining a standing army for potential crises. In the end, NATO would be able to enjoy a collective defense dividend that has eluded it for centuries, while making a significant contribution to global security.

Ethanol was used as the cosolvent, and the main remedial mechanism was enhanced dissolution based on the phase behavior of the water–ethanol–PCE system. Based on the knowledge of the actual PCE volume introduced into the cell, it was estimated that 83 L of PCE were present at the start of the test. Over a 40-day period, 64% of the PCE was removed by flushing the cell with an alcohol solution of approximately 70% ethanol and 30% water. High removal efficiencies at the end of the test indicated that more PCE could have been removed had it been possible to continue the demonstration. The ethanol solution extracted from the cell was recycled during the test using activated carbon and air stripping treatment. Both of these treatment processes were successful in removing PCE for recycling purposes, with minimal impact on the ethanol content in the treated fluids. Results from pre- and post-flushing partitioning tracer tests overestimated the treatment performance. However, both of these tracer tests missed significant amounts of the PCE present, likely due to inaccessibility of the PCE. The tracer results suggest that some PCE was inaccessible to the ethanol solution which led to the inefficient PCE removal rates observed. The flux-averaged aqueous PCE concentrations measured in the post-flushing tracer test were reduced by a factor of 3 to 4 in the extraction wells that showed the highest PCE removal compared to those concentrations in the pre-flushing tracer test.

JO - Applied & Environmental Microbiology JF - Applied & Environmental Microbiology Y1 - 2004/04// VL - 70 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 2289 EP - 2295 SN - 00992240 AB - Pulsed electric field (PEF)-resistant and PEF-sensitive Listeria monocytogenes strains were sublethally treated with electric pulses at 15 kV/cm for 29 µs and held at 25°C for 5 to 30 min prior to protein extraction. The levels of the molecular chaperones GroEL, GroES, and DnaJ were determined by immunoblotting. After 10 to 20 min after sublethal PEF treatment, a transient decrease in molecular chaperone expression was observed in the PEF-sensitive strain (Scott A). The levels of GroEL and DnaJ increased back to the basal expression level within 30 min. A substantial decrease in GroES expression persisted for at least 30 min after PEF treatment. Chaperone expression was suppressed after PEF treatment to a smaller extent in the PEFresistant (OSY-8578) than in the PEF-sensitive strain, and no clear expression pattern was identified in OSY-8578. Inactivation of Scott A and OSY-8578 in phosphate buffer was compared when lethal PEF (27.5 kV/cm, 144 µs) and heat (55°C, 10 min) were applied in sequence. When PEF and heat treatments were applied separately, the populations of L. monocytogenes Scott A and OSY-8578 decreased 0.5 to 0.6 log CFU/ml. Cells treated first with PEF and incubated at 25°C for 10 min showed substantial sensitivity to subsequent heat treatment; the decrease in counts for Scott A and OSY-8578 was 6.1 and 2.8 log CFU/ml, respectively. The sequence and time lapse between the two treatments were crucial for achieving high inactivation rates. It is concluded that PEF sensitized L. monocytogenes to heat and that maximum heat sensitization occurred when chaperone expression was at a minimum level.

Acoust. Soc. Am. 22, 6-13 (1950)] has left two general notions about broadband masking that are still being echoed in present-day textbooks on hearing. One is that broadband masking is linear (i.e., if the noise power level increases, the signal threshold level increases by exactly the same amount). The other is the existence of a nonmonotonic function of frequency, the critical ratio (CR) which, unlike the critical band (CB) or equivalent rectangular bandwidth (ERB) functions, shows a distinct upturn below 300 Hz. Exploring the possibility that Hawkins and Stevens' measurements may have been adversely affected by acoustic leakage at the headphones at low frequencies, the experiment was repeated with insert earphones. The resulting critical ratio function shows a monotonic dependence on frequency down to 90 Hz, similar to CB and ERB functions. Moreover, the CR function appears to closely approximate the ERB function when the dependence of each filter's detection efficiency on masker energy uncertainty is incorporated. Masking appears to be linear below 1000 Hz, but thresholds, expressed as S/N0 ratios, were found to increase systematically with increasing masker intensity at higher frequencies.

Band-limited feedback allows tuning of the characteristic time scales of both the periodic and high dimensional chaotic oscillations that can be generated with the device. Our implementation of the device produces oscillations in the frequency range of tens to hundreds of megahertz. We develop a model and use it to explore the experimentally observed Andronov-Hopf bifurcation of the steady state and to estimate the dimension of the chaotic attractor.

T1 - Gestational exposure to methylmercury retards choice in transition in aging rats JO - Neurotoxicology & Teratology JF - Neurotoxicology & Teratology Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 26 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 179 SN - 08920362 AB - Developmental exposure to methylmercury has behavioral effects that extend into adulthood and aging. In this study, methylmercury''s prolonged effects on the acquisition of choice and sensitivity to changes in reinforcement rates were studied. Pregnant female rats were exposed to drinking water containing 0, 0.5, or 6.4 ppm Hg as methylmercury, resulting in about 40 and 500 μg/kg/day of mercury intake. Maternal exposure began at least 4 weeks before mating, and continued to postnatal day 16. Then all mercury exposure ended. The behavior of 1.7- and 2.3-year-old offspring was maintained under various concurrent schedules of reinforcement. Thus, one reinforcement schedule maintained left-lever responding and a separate one maintained right-lever responding. The animal could switch (“changeover”) between the two levers at any time. For the first 30 min of a 3-h session, the left and right levers each produced reinforcement at the same rate and left:right response ratios were about 1:1. After 30 min, either the left lever became richer than the right; the right lever became richer than the left, or there was no change. Terminal reinforcer ratios (left:right) used were 9:1, 4:1, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:9. Response rates on the two levers were tracked continuously through a session. This novel procedure for examining choice, and its acquisition, in a single session, was validated through many comparisons with the extant literature. Both response rates and changeover rates were influenced by the reinforcer ratios for the 1.7-year-olds. Changeover rates were not influenced by reinforcement rate for their 2.3-year-old littermates. For the 1.7-year-olds, there was no effect of methylmercury on changeover or response rates and there was no interaction between exposure and reinforcer ratio. In controls and most methylmercury-exposed rats, response ratios (the measure of choice) approximately matched reinforcer ratios by the end of the single session. This is commonly interpreted as reflecting sensitivity to reinforcement rates. Methylmercury exposure did not affect this measure systematically. The single-session transition from baseline (response ratios about 1:1) to terminal performance was retarded in many methylmercury-exposed rats relative to controls, especially in the older rats. The 2.3-year-old control rats required about 20 to 25 reinforcers to complete one half of the 9:1 and 4:1 transitions, respectively, and exposed rats required about twice as many. Thus, prenatal methylmercury exposure specifically retarded the acquisition of choice in older rats. Methylmercury did not interfere with the final expression of choice. Moreover, two rate measures, lever-press rates and changeover rates, were not systematically affected by methylmercury. The acquisition of choice appears to be very sensitive to subtle consequences of developmental methylmercury exposure. The specific tactics greatly reduced the time required to study behavior in transition from a month in previous reports to a single session here.

Mechanical engineering majors enroll in Energy Conversion Systems (ME 472) during the fall semester of their senior year as an advanced elective. ME 472 builds directly on the material covered in Thermodynamics (EM 301) taken during the student’s junior year. In the first segment of ME 472, the students study advanced thermodynamic topics including exergy and combustion analyses. The students then analyze various mechanical systems including refrigeration systems, internal combustion engines, boilers, and fossil fuel fired steam and gas turbine combined power plants. Exergetic efficiencies of various equipment and systems are determined. The final portion of the course covers direct energy conversion technology, including fuel cells, photovoltaics, thermoelectricity, thermionics and magnetohydrodynamics. Supplemental lessons on energy storage, semi-conductors and nonreactive energy sources (such as solar collectors, wind turbines, and hydroelectric plants) are included here. This paper discusses the evolution of ME 472 since its inception and explains the motivations for the course’s progress.

JO - AIAA Journal JF - AIAA Journal Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 42 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 501 EP - 512 SN - 00011452 AB - Reductions in helicopter rotor hub vibratory loads that can be obtained through the introduction of steady auxiliary pitching and rolling moments in the fixed system are examined. The auxiliary moments allow changes in vehicle attitude and rotor pitch control inputs, such that vibrations can be minimized, while vehicle equilibrium is still satisfied. Because auxiliary moments can be generated by variation of the pitch of the right and left halves of the horizontal tail, the weight penalty, complexity, and performance losses associated with auxiliary lift and thrust (conventional compounding) would be alleviated. A comprehensive rotorcraft aeroelastic analysis was modified to include the fixed system auxiliary moments in the trim equations, and vibration reductions were examined for two different cases: 1) a light BO-105 type helicopter with a four-bladed hingeless rotor at high flight speeds (advance ratio of 0.35) and 2) a medium-weight UH-60 type helicopter with a four-bladed articulated rotor at a more moderate flight speed (advance ratio of 0.25). For the BO-105 type aircraft, a nosedown auxiliary pitching moment and a roll-left auxiliary rolling moment could reduce the in-plane vibratory hub forces by 20-30% when used individually and by 90% when used in combination. For the UH-60 type aircraft, a nosedown auxiliary pitching moment and a roll-right auxiliary rolling moment produced reductions in the range of 15-65% in all components of vibratory hub loads. For both aircraft, the nosedown auxiliary pitching moment increased the nosedown pitch attitude of the aircraft and reduced the rotor longitudinal cyclic flapping and the longitudinal cyclic pitch input. For the BO-105, the roll-left auxiliary moment increased the leftward shaft tilt and no longer required the tip path plane to tilt left relative to the hub plane. This decreased the lateral cyclic pitch input. However, for the UH-60, the roll-right auxiliary moment actually reversed the roll attitude of the aircraft (shaft now tilting right). This required a large leftward tilt of the tip path plane relative to the hub plane and increased the lateral cyclic pitch requirement. When implementation of the auxiliary moments through collective and differential pitch inputs to the horizontal tail was examined, it was observed that the expected reductions in vibration were indeed achieved, but that the auxiliary roll moment generated was smaller than expected due to one-half of the horizontal tail being stalled.

It was demonstrated that at high supercritical currents, the magnetic flux flow process induces fast thermomagnetic instability. The result of this instability is local magnetic flux propagation, and subsequent irreversible damage of the high-Tc film. The parameter D = (Id-Ic)/Ic, where Id and Ic are the critical damaging and superconducting-to-dissipative state transition currents, respectively, which represents the capability of the high-Tc microstrip to withstand supercritical current, depends on the quality and critical current density of the film.

Naturally occurring antibodies to squalene in humans and mice JO - Journal of Immunological Methods JF - Journal of Immunological Methods Y1 - 2004/03// VL - 286 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 47 SN - 00221759 AB - An ELISA-based assay is described for the measurement of antibodies to squalene (SQE) in human serum and plasma. The assay was adapted from the previously described assay for murine antibodies to SQE (J. Immunol. Methods 267 (2002) 119). Like the murine SQE antibody assay, the human antibody assay used sterile cell culture 96-well plates coated with SQE (20 nmol/well). Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)–0.5% casein was used as both a blocking agent and dilution buffer. The assay has a high through-put capacity and is reproducible and quantitative. This assay was used to evaluate samples from three different human cohorts. The first cohort was retired employees of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID alumni). The mean age was 68 (N=40; range 58–82). Most were vaccinated with the U.S. licensed anthrax vaccine (AVA) and most had received several other vaccines through a USAMRIID special immunization program. The second cohort was of similar age (N=372; mean age 67; range 54–97) from the normal population of Frederick, MD and were not vaccinated with AVA. The third cohort (N=299) was from Camp Memorial Blood Center, United States Army Medical Department Activities, Fort Knox, KY. (No additional volunteer information is available.) Using this new ELISA method, antibodies to SQE were detected in all three of the cohorts. IgG antibodies to SQE were detected in 7.5% and 15.1% of the samples from the USAMRIID alumni and Frederick cohorts, respectively. These differences were not significantly different (χ(1)2=1.69, p=0.19). In contrast, no IgG antibodies to SQE were detected in the Fort Knox cohort which is significantly different than the Frederick cohort (χ(1)2=49.25, p<0.0001). IgM antibodies to SQE were detected in 37.5% and 32.3% of the samples from the USAMRIID and Frederick cohorts, respectively, but there was no significant difference between the cohorts. In the Fort Knox cohort, 19.4% of the samples were positive for IgM antibodies to SQE, which was significantly different from the Frederick cohort (χ(1)2=14.23, p=0.0002). Although the age of the volunteers from the Fort Knox cohort is unknown, the demographic of the donors at the blood bank volunteers is 85% 17–21 years of age. This suggested that the prevalence of antibodies to SQE may increase with age. This was confirmed with mouse studies in which the presence of antibodies was monitored as a function of time. No antibodies to SQE were detected in female BALB/c, B10.Br and C57BL/6 mice at 2 months of age, but they reached a maximum prevalence with 100% and 89% of animals testing positive for IgG and IgM antibodies to SQE, respectively, in the C57Bl/6 mice at 18 months of age. BALB/c and B10.Br mice also developed antibodies to SQE over time, but were at a lower prevalence than those observed in the C57BL/6 mice. Thirty-five of the 40 volunteers in the USAMRIID were vaccinated with AVA (mean no. doses=26; range 3–47). Comparison of the prevalence of antibodies to SQE from the AVA immunized group with the Frederick cohort revealed that there was no statistical differences for IgG (χ(1)2=2.3, p=0.13) or IgM (χ(1)2=0.33, p=0.56). When the data from the USAMRIID and Frederick cohorts were combined and analyzed for the presence of antibodies to SQE with respect to the sex of the volunteer, females (40.8%) were found to have a higher prevalence of IgM antibodies to SQE than men (28.4%) (χ(1)2=6.59, p=0.01). No significant difference was observed in the prevalence for IgG antibodies to SQE in females (17.7%) and males (12.5%). We conclude that antibodies to SQE occur naturally in humans; have an increased prevalence in females; are not correlated with vaccination with AVA; and appear to increase in prevalence with age.

The tool has a user interface through which the user selects the deploying units, equipment, and their required delivery dates. The user also selects the ports (air, rail, and sea) through which the units will travel to get to the final destination. Finally, the user selects the transportation assets on which the units will travel and assigns those assets to the routes in the deployment network. The system schedules the equipment for deployment by creating individual equipment routings and then repetitively simulating the deployment to determine the deployment closure time and the maximum lateness (Lmax) of any unit. The equipment is scheduled to minimize the maximum lateness of all deploying units. Deployment information is formatted into various graphs and reports. Finally, the user can modify various aspects of the deployment scenario to conduct sensitivity analysis. A valuable option is a heuristic procedure to reassign transportation assets in an attempt to further reduce the deployment closure time and Lmax.

These material elements are constrained in both quantity and location. The usefulness of any element to a commander is dependent upon both its extrinsic (qualitative; situation dependent) and intrinsic (quantitative; inherent) characteristics. Our research provides a methodology for rationally assigning relative value to material resources over time, in order to improve the linkage between what arrives (becomes available for use) in theater at any given time, and what is actually needed at that time. A blend of qualitative (value focused thinking and hierarchical weighting) and quantitative (a greedy matching algorithm) methods were used against the lift-constrained combat forces material selection/movement problem. The intent is to provide a decision support tool for the formulation of force mixes that best support desired time-phased battlefield objectives, given constraints on available transportation resources. This methodology is applicable to general crisis response planning, such as for disaster relief.

Consider two models that exist to study different aspects of the same system, specifically Air Mobility Command''s strategic airlift system. One model simulates a fleet of aircraft moving a given combination of cargo and passengers from an onload point to an offload point. The second model is a linear program that optimizes aircraft and route selection given cargo and passenger requirements in order to minimize late and nondeliveries. Further, the optimization model represents a more aggregated view of the airlift system than does the simulation. The two models do not have immediately comparable input or output structures, which complicates comparisons between the two models. We develop a methodology that structures this comparison and use it to compare the two large-scale models described above. Further, our technique has the fortunate byproduct of improving the fidelity of the models through a series of iterative refinements of the input to each model based on the output of the other. Models that compare favorably with regard to our methodology are deemed covalid models.

In this study, four cosimulation procedures, two collocated cokriging procedures, and two regression procedures were compared. The results showed that with the same cosimulation or collocated cokriging methods, two postestimation procedures led to more accurate estimates than the corresponding two preestimation procedures. Among three postestimation procedures with the same image data, cosimulation resulted in the most accurate estimates and reliable variances, then regression modeling and collocated cokriging. Thus, cosimulation algorithms can be recommended for this purpose. Moreover, the accuracy by a joint cosimulation procedure of 1989 and 1992 vegetation cover was similar to that by a separate cosimulation procedure; however, the joint cosimulation overestimated the average change. In addition, adding more Thematic Mapper images in- creased the accuracy of mapping for the cosimulation procedures, and the increase was slight for the regression procedures.

For example, turbulent eddies are often stretched in the direction of the mean wind, and the turbulence statistics depends on the height above the ground. Recent studies have shown that the log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of plane and spherical sound waves are significantly affected by turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy. The present paper is devoted to studies of the mean sound field and the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves propagating through inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations. These statistical moments of a sound field are important in many practical applications, e.g., for source detection, ranging, and recognition. Formulas are derived for the mean sound field and coherence function of initially arbitrary waveform. Using the latter formula, we also obtained formulas for the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves. All these formulas coincide with those known in the literature for two limiting cases: homogeneous isotropic turbulence with temperature and wind velocity fluctuations, and inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Using the formulas obtained, we have numerically shown that turbulence inhomogeneity significantly affects the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves.

Detailed water budget analysis and a histogram of the elevation data points coupled with a level-pool assumption over the prairie basin allowed for determination of the hydroperiod on an areal basis. This analysis method facilitated comparison of restoration alternatives in terms of the restoration project objective to create permanently inundated conditions at water depths 0.15–0.61 m (for waterfowl) over greater than 50% of the prairie area within the first 5 years after construction. Construction costs were estimated and compared for each of the alternatives that attained the restoration objective, with the least cost project identified as the recommended alternative.

JO - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics JF - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 40 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 130 EP - 142 SN - 00189197 AB - Corrugated quantum-well infrared photodetectors (C-QWIPs) offer simple detector architectures for large-format infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs). The detector relies on inclined sidewalls to couple normal incident light into the absorbing material. Based on a simplified geometrical-optics (GO) model, this light coupling scheme is expected to be effective with little wavelength dependence. In this work, we apply the modal transmission-line (MTL) modeling technique to study in detail its light coupling characteristics and compare the results with the GO model and experimental data. We find that the results of the GO model agree reasonably well with those of the rigorous MTL model for corrugations with metal cover, and both modeling procedures are consistent with experimental data. In particular, both models predict similar increase in the quantum efficiency η with the size of the corrugations, and both indicate similar limiting η when the corrugation becomes very large. For linear corrugations with thick substrates, the maximum η is about 30%. On the other hand, there are also significant differences between the two models when the effects of phase coherence are important. Since the phase of the radiation is taken into account in the MTL formalism but not in the GO formalism, the MTL model is more generally applicable and is more capable of explaining different detector characteristics. For example, it predicts a smaller η for air or epoxy-covered C-QWIPs because of finite optical transmission through the sharp corners in the corrugations, and it indicates an oscillatory function of η because of the existence of optical fringes. It also reveals the wavelength dependence of the coupling, which becomes more pronounced as the thickness of the substrate layer is reduced.

Three aspects of context were added in successive tests—social interaction during consumption, the physical environment in which the food was consumed and choice among foods—so that the fourth test had all effects present. The proportion consumed averaged from 79 to 82% of the food presented and increased significantly in the presence of one or more of the context manipulations. Salad consumption was higher when there was a choice of dressings in an enhanced environment. Pizza and tea consumption were higher in an enhanced restaurant-like environment. Social interaction alone has no detectable impact on food consumption. It is concluded that people eat more in enhanced contexts and careful consideration should be given to the environment in studies of food consumption.

For odor and control conditions, target-detection latency increased steadily over the course of the 3-hr. session. Administration of a tactile stimulus reduced the increase in detection latency compared to that found in odor and control conditions. For all conditions, there were no significant differences in target-detection frequency, shot accuracy, or friend-foe discrimination. Across all conditions, restlessness (motor activity) increased significantly the first hour and remained elevated for the rest of the session. Subjective measures of workload (NASA-TLX) indicated that the 3-hr. task rated high on physical demand, mental demand, frustration, and overall workload. These findings suggest that the intermittent delivery of a clearly detectable tactile stimulus can reduce reaction-time decrements that occur as time on task increases.

The Army Corps of Engineers currently uses reliability analyses to economically justify the major rehabilitation of navigation structures. This paper illustrates how the Condition Index visual inspections for locks and dams can be modified and used to update the reliability analysis of a steel miter gate. The miter gates on two existing locks and dams along the Mississippi River are used as examples for corrosion and fatigue deterioration. The approach used is applicable to any structure where the inspection condition states are quantitative and a model exists to relate visual inspection results to the actual deterioration state of the structure.

JO - Journal of Asthma JF - Journal of Asthma Y1 - 2004/02// VL - 41 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 33 SN - 02770903 AB - Airway expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-4 (MCP-4; CCL-13) is known to be increased in asthmatic airways where it is induced by proallergic cytokines, but the relationship of its systemic expression to asthma and naturally occurring exacerbations is unknown. We determined plasma levels of MCP-4 in 356 individuals with chronic-stable asthma and 240 normal subjects and compared plasma levels of MCP-4 in 30 patients who presented for emergent treatment of asthma with levels in 90 subjects with chronic-stable asthma matched for age, gender, and ethnicity. Median plasma MCP-4 levels were higher in patients with chronic-stable asthma than in normal subjects (399 vs. 307 pg/mL) (p<0.001). In our entire cohort (n=596), subjects with an MCP-4≥218 pg/mL were at increased risk of asthma (p<0.001 odds ratio, 3.26; 95% CI, 2.22--4.79). Logistic regression identified MCP-4 as an independent predictor of asthma diagnosis. The MCP-4 levels are higher in individuals with an acute asthma exacerbation than in subjects with chronic-stable asthma (513 vs. 355 pg/mL) (p=0.002). The MCP-4 is a systemically expressed biomarker that independently predicts susceptibility to asthma and is directly associated with exacerbations. Elevated MCP-4 levels identify a group of asthmatics with systemic evidence of allergic inflammation who may be at risk for exacerbations or may benefit from abrogation of MCP-4.

Here we report that co-expression of MARV glycoprotein and matrix protein (VP40) in mammalian cells leads to spontaneous budding of filamentous particles strikingly similar to wild-type MARV. In addition, these particles elicit an immune response in BALB/c mice. The generation of non-replicating Marburg virus-like particles (VLPs) should significantly facilitate the research on molecular mechanisms of MARV assembly and release. Furthermore, VLPs may be an excellent vaccine candidate against Marburg infection.

Because water will continue to be conveyed to consumers worldwide through metal pipes, the water industry has to consider both the effects of water quality on corrosion and the effects of corrosion on water quality. Integrating four key factors -- chemical/biological causes, economics, health and aesthetics -- is critical for managing the distribution system to produce safe water that consumers will use with confidence. As technological developments improve copper pipes to minimize scaling and corrosion, it is essential to consider the health and aesthetic effects on an equal plane with chemical/biological causes and economics to produce water that is acceptable for public consumption.

In the present paper, line-of-sight sound propagation through inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations is considered. Starting from a parabolic equation and using the Markov approximation, formulas are derived for the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of a spherical sound wave. These statistical moments of a sound field are important for many practical applications in atmospheric acoustics. The derived formulas for the correlation functions and variances generalize those already known in the literature for two limiting cases: (a) homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, and (b) inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Furthermore, the formulas differ from those for the case of plane wave propagation. Using the derived formulas and Mann's spectral tensor of velocity fluctuations for shear-driven turbulence, the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations are studied numerically. The results obtained clearly show that turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy significantly affect sound propagation in the atmosphere.

Too often, this analysis is not supplied by professional historians but by policymakers, engineers, and others who may lack the required knowledge and skills. The result inhibits rather than advances sound policy. Fortunately, historians are obtaining increased appreciation for what they bring to the conference table. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which the United States recently rejoined, is attempting to further sound historical study; and the recently formed International, Water History Association (IWHA) provides a forum to focus on the history of global water issues. These developments afford historians new and important means to make a difference in resolving some of the most pressing international resource issues.

Recognizing the danger to its investment there, late in the year, the U.S. altered its military tactics, announced a major new reconstruction grant, and sent a new ambassador. The year ended on a high note, as Afghanistan's Constitutional Loya Jirga promulgated a new Afghan constitution, modeled on the American document, and ratified it early in the New Year on January 4, 2004.

Two cylinder configurations, referred to as axially stiff and circumferentially stiff cylinders, are studied. Numerical results from STAGS finite element analyses are presented and include predicted radial displacements and selected stress resultants. Compressive loading into the postbuckling range by an axial endshortening is considered. The results show that, as the endshortening increases toward the buckling value, some segments of the cylinders begin to develop axial wrinkles, whereas other segments remain relatively unwrinkled. For the two cylinders considered here, the wrinkling of the segments is correlated with the level of axial stress resultant supported in the segment. Load drops of 20 and 57% for the axially stiff and circumferentially stiff cylinders, respectively, are predicted for levels of endshortening beyond the buckling values. The postbuckled cylinders are characterized by regions of large localized inward dimples and outward ridges in the radial displacement pattern. These regions are sites of large-magnitude axial and transverse shear stress resultants.

The current optimization study was not based on design parameters such as rotorblade chord, airfoil, and twist angle distributions. Instead, the rotor-disc bound circulation radial and azimuthal distributions were selected to be the independent unknowns in the minimization process of the induced power. Hence, the optimization results set the lower realistic bound of rotor-induced power. The results can serve as a useful reference for designers evaluating current and future rotor system performance.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 23 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 141 EP - 149 SN - 07307268 AB - Previous investigations of the ecotoxicity of TNT in spiked sediments noted the rapid degradation and disappearance of the toxicant, yet little is understood regarding the effects of this process on toxicity and subsequent derivation of toxicity reference values. We conducted environmental fate studies and 28-d sediment toxicity tests with benthic oligochaete worms (Tubifex tubifex) with sediments spiked at three different TNT concentrations (440, 1,409, and 4,403 nmol/g dry wt) aged for 1, 8, and 29 d. Because of rapid degradation of TNT, disappearance of degradation products, and partitioning to overlying water, only 25 to 40% of the added nitroaromatic mass balance was associated with sediment immediately after spiking. Lethal toxicity decreased with aging time and was best described by measured sediment nitroaromatic concentrations (sum of TNT and degradation products) at the beginning of exposure, with a median lethal concentration of nitroaromatic compounds of 184 nmol/g dry weight. To accurately describe the ephemeral exposure doses of TNT and its degradation products during toxicity tests with spiked sediments, we suggest that sediments should be aged at least 8 to 14 d after spiking, exposure should be based on measured sediment concentrations or chemical measures of availability, exchange of overlying water should be avoided or minimized, and short-term toxicity tests should be considered.

JO - European Journal of Applied Physiology JF - European Journal of Applied Physiology Y1 - 2004/01// VL - 91 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 105 EP - 110 SN - 14396319 AB - Acetazolamide (ACZ), a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, results in altered neuromuscular function secondary to depressed afferent transmission in intact humans. One effect of ACZ is hypercapnia. Thus, to test if the neuromuscular depression observed following ACZ treatment is related to elevated CO 2, human subjects ( n=10) were exposed to 15 min of room air (0% CO 2) or hypercapnia (7% inspired CO 2), and neuromuscular function was evaluated. Isometric force (36.8 to 31.1 N) and peak-to-peak electromyographic amplitude (EMG, 1.5 to 1.0 mV) associated with an Achilles tendon tap, and soleus H max:M max ratio (69.0 to 62.2%) were depressed, while EMG latency (34.8 to 39.8 ms) was increased by hypercapnia. Reflex recovery profiles (following a conditioning tap to the contralateral Achilles tendon), motor nerve conduction velocity, amplitude of the maximum M-wave, and peak twitch tension at M max were unaltered by hypercapnia. We conclude that elevated CO 2 impairs neuromuscular function through effects on afferent transmission or synaptic integrity between type Ia fibers of the muscle spindle and the alpha motor neuron, without affecting the muscle spindle, efferent conduction or skeletal muscle force-generating capacity.

In addition a fungus, identified as Cladosporium cladosporioides by DSMZ, was found to be growing on water wet RDX. All of these organisms were found to degrade RDX. The two bacteria were found to represent new species that have not been reported before. It was found that these organisms along with an added carbon source could degrade RDX to simple gaseous products.

In the series configuration the high voltage needle-point electrode is submerged and the ground electrode is placed in the gas phase above the water surface. The parallel configuration employs a high voltage electrode in the gas phase and a high voltage needle-point electrode in the liquid phase with the ground electrode placed at the gas-liquid interface. In both hybrid reactors the gas phase concentration of ozone reached a power-dependent steady state, whereas the hybrid-parallel reactor produced a substantially larger amount of ozone than the hybrid series. Hydrogen peroxide was produced in both hybrid reactors at a similar rate to that of a single-phase liquid electrical discharge reactor. The resulting concentration of H2O2 in the hybrid reactors, however, depended on the pH of the solution and the gas phase ozone concentration since H2O2 was decomposed by dissolved ozone at high pH.

The purpose of this study was to compare simulated respirator fit factors (FFs) measured using vapor challenges to those measured using an aerosol challenge. A full-facepiece respirator was mounted on a headform inside a small enclosure and modified with controlled leaks (laser-drilled orifices) to produce FFs ranging from about 300 to 30,000. A breathing machine was used to simulate breathing conditions of 1.0 L tidal volume and 25 breaths/min. A monodisperse aerosol consisting of 0.72 µm polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) was used for the reference test aerosol, and FFs were measured using a laser aerosol spectrometer. An inert gas, sulfur hexafiuoride (SF6), and an organic vapor, isoamyl acetate (IAA), were used as the vapor challenges. The in-mask concentration of SF6 was measured using a gas chromatograph (GC). A GC was also used to quantify in-mask IAA concentration samples actively collected with sorbent tubes. FF measurements made with the PSL aerosol challenge were conducted in sequence with the SF6 and IAA challenges, without disturbing the mask, to yield matched data pairs for regression analysis. FFs measured using the PSL reference aerosol were found to correlate well with those measured with the SF6 (r2 = 0.99) and IAA (r2 = 0.98) vapor challenges. FFs measured using IAA tended to be higher at values below 10,000. The best agreement was observed with the inert gas, SF6. The results of this study suggest that submicron aerosols are suitable as quantitative fit test challenges for assessing the performance of respirators against inert vapors.

These equations are used to investigate effects of dissipation on the propagation of plane waves in an infinite solid and forced thickness vibrations in an infinite piezoelectric plate with general symmetry. For a harmonic plane wave propagating in an arbitrary direction in an unbounded solid, the complex eigenvalue problem is solved from which the effective elastic stiffness, viscosity, and conductivity are computed. For the forced thickness vibrations of an infinite plate, the complex coupling factor K*, input admittance Y are derived and an explicit, approximate expression for K* is obtained in terms of material properties. Effects of the viscosity and conductivity on the resonance frequency, modes, admittance, attenuation coefficient, dynamic time constant, coupling factor, and quality factor are calculated and examined for quartz and ceramic barium titanate plates.

These contributions determine the temperature dependence of the linewidths. We have considered both inelastic phonon scatterings and also lattice relaxation effects. We have expressed the exciton linewidth in terms of the phonon linewidths and have evaluated the effects of all phonon lifetime mechanisms, including anharmonic phonon effects, impurity scattering, alloy fluctuations, and boundary and interface phonon scattering in the mesa structures. We have found that only the boundary phonon scattering on the mesa produces linewidth of the magnitude needed to account for experiment. Our results are consistent with the mesa size dependence of the linewidths observed in recent experiments. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The coupled Schrödinger equations for electrons and holes are solved self-consistently in the Hartree-Fock approximation together with the Poisson equation. The solutions are analyzed treating N and F as independent parameters for quantum wells (QWs) with different width, dqw. The calculations demonstrate that with decreasing dqw and increasing N, the charge separation within the QW induced by the field becomes less effective and the relative contribution of the Hartree interactions to the energy level shifts is decreased. The results are applied to study possible bistable behavior of the QW electroabsorption under strong photoexcitation near the exciton resonance. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Previous studies with purified protein suggest a role for oligomerization of VP40 in this process. Here, we demonstrate VP40 oligomers in lipid rafts of mammalian cells, virus-like particles, and in the authentic Ebola virus. By mutagenesis, we identify several critical C-terminal sequences that regulate oligomerization at the plasma membrane, association with detergent-resistant membranes, and vesicular release of VP40, directly linking these phenomena. Furthermore, we demonstrate the active recruitment of TSGI01 into lipid rafts by VP40. We also report the successful application of the biarsenic fluorophore, FlAsH, combined with a tetracysteine tag for imaging of Ebola VP40 in live cells.

High case-fatality rates, as well as known aerosol infectivity, make Ebola virus a potential global health threat and possible biological warfare agent. Development of an effective vaccine for use in natural outbreaks, response to biological attack, and protection of laboratory workers is a higher national priority than ever before. Coexpression of the Ebola virus glycoprotein (GP) and matrix protein (VP40) in mammalian cells results in spontaneous production and release of virus-like particles (VLPs) that resemble the distinctively filamentous infectious virions. VLPs have been tested and found efficacious as vaccines for several viruses, including papillomavirus, HIV, parvovirus, and rotavirus. Herein, we report that Ebola VLPs (eVLPs) were immunogenic in vitro as eVLPs matured and activated mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, assessed by increases in cell-surface markers CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC class I and II and secretion of IL-6, IL-10, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, and tumor necrosis factor α by the dendritic cells. Further, vaccinating mice with eVLPs activated CD4[SUP+] and CD8[SUP+] T cells, as well as CD19[SUP+] B cells. After vaccination with eVLPs, mice developed high titers of Ebola virusspecific antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies. Importantly, mice vaccinated with eVLPs were 100% protected from an otherwise lethal Ebola virus inoculation. Together, our data suggest that eVLPs represent a promising vaccine candidate for protection against Ebola virus infections and a much needed tool to examine the genesis and nature of immune responses to Ebola virus.

JO - Journal of Nutrition JF - Journal of Nutrition Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 133 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 4143 EP - 4149 SN - 00223166 AB - Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in refugees is reported to be among the major medical problems worldwide. Because food rations are typically inadequate in iron, long-term reliance is a key predictor of anemia among displaced people. Comprehensive nutritional assessments of refugee children from Burma have not previously been completed. Refugee children aged 6-59 mo were studied to determine 1) the prevalences of anemia, iron deficiency (ID) and IDA and 2) the factors associated with anemia and ID. Cluster sampling in three camps and convenience sampling in two additional camps were used. Hemoglobin (Hb) levels were measured and µmol zinc protoporphyrin/mol heme were determined in 975 children. Logistic regression analyses (95% CI) determined predictors of anemia and ID. The prevalences of IDA, anemia and ID in these refugee children were 64.9, 72.0 and 85.4%, respectively. Predictors of anemia included young age (P < 0.001), food ration lasting <1 mo (P = 0.001), daily consumption of dietary iron inhibitors (P < 0.05), weight-for-height Z-score of <-2 (P < 0.05), male gender (P < 0.05) and uneducated father (P < 0.001). Predictors of ID were young age (P < 0.001) and recently reported illness (P < 0.05). Laboratory tests confirmed that anemia and ID are major health problems among these refugee children and that ID is the leading cause of anemia. A comprehensive nutrition and public health-focused approach to combating anemia and ID is essential. Following the presentation of results to policy makers, the improvement of the micronutrient content of rations has been initiated.

First, a few commonly encountered undesirable effects of vibrations on structures are discussed. This is followed by an identification of research needs, and a discussion of typical research projects sponsored by the Structures and Dynamics Program of the United States Army Research Office towards meeting these needs. We include research projects in areas such as modeling of damping mechanisms, analysis and design of vibration absorbers, surface damping treatment of beams and similar other structures, and the use of magnetorheological and electrorheological fluids for vibration attenuation. Finally, we make recommendations for directions that are beneficial for future research in this area.

It is shown that Li2CO3-coating can effectively increase reversibility of the initial forming cycle of Li/graphite half-cell. More interestingly, the Li2CO3-coating significantly suppresses self-delithiation of the lithiated graphite, which enhances storage performance of the Li-ion battery. The Li2CO3–coated graphite also shows higher capacity retention after long-term cycling.

JO - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology JF - Toxicology & Applied Pharmacology Y1 - 2003/12// VL - 193 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 228 SN - 0041008X AB - The vesicant sulfur mustard is an alkylating agent that has the capacity to cross-link biological molecules. We are interested in identifying specific proteins that are altered upon sulfur mustard exposure. Keratins are particularly important for the structural integrity of skin, and several genetically inherited blistering diseases have been linked to mutations in keratin 5 and keratin 14. We examined whether sulfur mustard exposure alters keratin biochemistry in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes. Western blotting with specific monoclonal antibodies revealed the formation of stable high-molecular-weight “aggregates” containing keratin 14 and/or keratin 5. These aggregates begin to form within 15 min after sulfur mustard exposure. These aggregates display a complex gel electrophoresis pattern between ∼100 and ∼200 kDa. Purification and analysis of these aggregates by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of keratin 14 and keratin 5 and indicate that at least some of the aggregates are composed of keratin 14–keratin 14, keratin 14–keratin 5, or keratin 5–keratin 5 dimers. These studies demonstrate that sulfur mustard induces keratin aggregation in keratinocytes and support further investigation into the role of keratin aggregation in sulfur mustard-induced vesication.

Publicly, his administration ridiculed Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson's highly publicized test ban proposal in 1956. In fact, Eisenhower's private inclination to ban testing antedated Stevenson's campaign proposal by two years. A review of the administration's techniques of countering Stevenson's test ban proposal reveals the use of heated rhetoric, clever deception, and outright lies to manipulate public understanding of the test issue and to conceal the depth of Eisenhower's own sincere desire to limit, or even cease, tests.

While limited numbers of U.S. soldiers in high-risk areas use chloroquine/primaquine chemoprophylaxis to prevent malaria, control of mosquito larvae through larviciding also can be used to reduce the risk of malaria transmission. In order to estimate the cost of larviciding, accurate estimates of the spatial extent of mosquito larval habitats are necessary. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an accurate estimate of the area covered by mosquito larval habitats can be obtained using Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ (ETM+) and/or IKONOS data for the Korean test site.To estimate the area covered by larval habitats near Camp Greaves [Paekyeon-Ri, near Tongil-Chon (village)] in the ROK, an IKONOS and a Landsat 7 ETM+ image were classified using a parallelepiped classification. In a comparison with rice paddy field sites, 24 (92%) of the sites were classified correctly on the IKONOS image and 17 (65%) were classified correctly on the Landsat image. Comparing the classifications on a pixel-by-pixel basis, the agreement between the two classifications was 79%. Part of the disagreement was due to the difference in resolution of the two images. In spite of local differences, the two classifications produced similar area estimates.Although either Landsat or IKONOS could be used in Korea for a reasonable estimate of habitat area, only IKONOS can resolve small irrigation ponds. While ponds represent a small portion of the total larval habitat, they are an important source for mosquito breeding during the late rice-growing season in the ROK since they contain higher larval densities. High-resolution imagery, such as IKONOS, would be necessary for planning and implementing treatment of these smaller habitats.

Most polymeric chemical sensors are based on alumina or silica substrates with gold or silver deposited wiring. These sensor substrates are relatively expensive and complicated to manufacture. A Kapton-based all-polymer substrate is a possible alternative for use in future chemical and biological sensing applications. The substrate was carbonized to form electrically conducting filaments using a focused cw argon ion laser beam operating at 364 and 514 nm. The substrate was coated with a hygrosensitive polymer and tested varying humidity, test frequency, test voltage, and temperature. Two separate hygrosensitive polymer coatings were tested: 2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (HMPTAC) and polyethylene oxide doped with lithium perchlorate (PEO-LiClO4). Humidity detection was used as a proof of concept for future research into chemical and biological agent detection. Results demonstrate the Kapton-based sensor performed as well as an alumina gold substrate and indicate the all-polymer substrate is a viable sensor substrate for future use in chemical detection systems.

At many sites, the contrasts are very large, and the detection capability is relatively independent of the geologic background. Some sites, however, are predictably problematic, such as volcanic terrains (e.g., Maui and Kaho''olawe, HI, USA). Other sites that would not intuitively be predicted to pose detection problems are found to have localized high susceptibility zones with wavelengths and magnitudes that can significantly complicate UXO detection. Details of a site in Indiana (USA) are presented that illustrate order of magnitude variation of magnetic susceptibility over distances of 2–3 m. Magnetic susceptibility at the site correlates to topography and soil type. Magnetic power spectral density plots from magnetic surveys at selected areas at the Indiana site are compared to each other and to data from Maui, HI, and demonstrate the key issues in UXO detection with magnetometry. Magnetic susceptibility data from Kaho''olawe are used to illustrate the effects on electromagnetic induction surveys for UXO detection and discrimination. The phenomenological observations suggest approaches for magnetic and electromagnetic induction survey data processing to enhance anomaly detectability and model-based inversion.

We acquired these data to determine whether subsurface subsidence processes had continued at the collapse location after remediation, and to identify additional areas of potential collapse along this section of the roadway. A reflection correlating to the overburden and bedrock interface (above the mine workings) was consistently identified in raw field records, and our data processing and imaging targeted this high impedance contrast. Data quality was high enough to permit resolution of vertical offsets of 3–4 ft (0.91–1.2 m) and horizontal disruptions of about 20 ft (6.1 m) in the otherwise continuous bedrock horizon at two locations close to the previous collapse, suggesting a relatively high risk for future roadway failure in these areas. SH-wave data interpretations were supported by exploratory drilling results which confirmed that bedrock had subsided into underlying coal-mine workings at these two locations. Our results show that high-resolution SH-wave seismic reflection surveys can be effective for diagnosing mine-induced subsidence potential beneath heavily traveled roadways.

The most significant arboviruses causing human illness belong to genera in three viral families, Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae. These viruses represent a significant public health threat to many parts of the world, and, as evidenced by the recent introduction of the West Nile virus (WNV) to the Western Hemisphere, they can no longer be considered specific to any one country or region of the world. Like most viral diseases, there are no specific therapies for the arboviral encephalitides; therefore, effective vaccines remain the front line of defense for these diseases. With this in mind, the development of new, more effective vaccines and the appropriate animal models in which to test them become paramount. In fact, for many important arboviruses (e.g. California serogroup and St. Louis encephalitis viruses), there are currently no approved vaccines available for human use. For others, such as the alphaviruses, human vaccines are available only as Investigational New Drugs, and thus are not in widespread use. On the other hand, safe and effective vaccines against tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) have been in use for decades. New challenges in vaccine development have been met with new technologies in vaccine research. Many of the newer vaccines are now being developed by recombinant DNA technology. For example, chimeric virus vaccines have been developed using infectious clone technology for many of the arboviruses including, WNV, JEV, and TBEV. Other successful approaches have involved the use of naked DNA encoding and subsequently expressing the desired protective epitopes. Naked DNA vaccines have been used for TBEV and JEV and are currently under development for use against WNV. The development of less expensive, more authentic animal models to evaluate new vaccines against arboviral diseases will become increasingly important as these new approaches in vaccine research are realized. This article reviews the current status of vaccines, both approved for use and those in developmental stages, against the major arboviral encephalitides causing human disease. In addition, research on animal models, both past and present, for these diseases are discussed.

The HART rotor was a 40%, Mach-scaled model of the hingeless BO-105 main rotor. Two wake models used in the comprehensive analysis are the single-trailer and the multiple-trailer free-wake models. The multiple-trailer wake model shows good prediction of lift distribution, M²c[subn], as a function of azimuth for baseline, minimum noise, and minimum vibration cases, and shows significant improvement relative to the single-trailer model in prediction of the tip vortex wake geometry.

The objective of this study is to make predictions concerning the persistence of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) in solid form both as individual explosive compounds and components of octol, and the resultant concentrations of explosives in water as a result of dissolution using three exploratory modeling approaches. The selection of dissolution model and rate greatly affect not only the predicted persistence of explosive compound sources but also their resulting concentrations in solution. This study identifies the wide range in possible predictions using existing information and these modeling approaches to highlight the need for further research to ensure that risk assessment, remediation and predicted fate and transport are appropriately presented and interpreted.

The major questions asked are how accurate are the models? And how do the inevitable inaccuracies in the prediction of the wave quantities influence the current predictions? The LSTF is one of a few large-scale facilities around the world designed to accurately reproduce the 2-D horizontal flow and sediment conditions in the nearshore region of a littoral coast. The measurements include all relevant wave data such as wave heights, setup variations, 2-D current distributions across the basin, and a detailed cross-shore array of measurements of the 3-D current structures. The two wave model formulations used for the comparisons are versions of the kinematic wave model, one using sinusoidal the other using non-sinusoidal wave shapes both before and after wave breaking, as wave drivers in the quasi-3-D model SHORECIRC (SC). The comparisons with the measurements are aimed at providing an overall picture of both the flow conditions and the model performance. The discussions provide insight into the mechanisms behind the complex nearshore dynamics and demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the two methods in a comprehensive comparison of available wave and current data. The comparisons also reveal that an essential requirement for a wave driver is its capability to represent the phase motion of the wave and its capability to correctly predict the phase speed of waves.

The analytical solutions for transient waves are derived using the integral transform method first by considering an arbitrary source shape and time excitation function, and then specifically for circular and line source shapes. The simulation study allows us not only to predict the behavior of individual wave modes but also to construct the overall responses; thus it helps us better understand the wave excitation mechanisms. The dispersive and multi-modal nature of laser-generated Lamb waves is presented by showing the spatiotemporal Fourier transform of displacements obtained by the simulation study. The transform, displayed in the frequency–wave number domain, enunciates the characteristics of the propagating individual Lamb wave modes. The simulation results are then compared with the 2-D Fourier transform of a set of experimental data obtained by scanning an aluminum plate specimen.

JO - Soil Science Society of America Journal JF - Soil Science Society of America Journal Y1 - 2003/11//Nov/Dec2003 VL - 67 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1897 EP - 1908 SN - 03615995 AB - Reductions in the depth and duration of snow cover under a warmer climate may cause soil freezing events to become more frequent, severe, and spatially extensive in northern temperate forest ecosystems. In this experiment, snow cover was manipulated to simulate the late development of snowpack and to induce soil freezing at sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis) stands at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The objective of this manipulation was to elucidate the effects of soil freezing on the concentrations and fluxes of soil solution H[sup +], Ca[sup 2+], Mg[sup 2+], K[sup +], and Na[sup +], as well as values of acid neutralizing capacity (ANC). Mild soil freezing events (soil temperatures never decreased below -5°C) resulted in pronounced acidification of soil solutions, driven primarily by nitrification, in the forest floor of sugar maple stands during the growing season. This mobilization of NO[sup -, sub 3] from the forest floor of maple stands was accompanied by the leaching of Ca[sup 2+] and Mg[sup 2+] in Oa horizon solutions. Responses of soil solution acid-base chemistry to soil freezing were not evident in yellow birch stands or in the Bs horizon of either vegetation type, emphasizing the importance of vegetation type and the mineral soil in determining the effects of climatic disturbance on drainage water chemistry and nutrient loss. These results suggest that models of soil biogeochemistry in temperate forest ecosystems should consider soil-freezing events when simulating the acid-base chemistry of soil solutions and the translocation of nutrient base cations between soil horizons.

Cut patterns in the metal mesh can redirect the magnetically induced electric currents generated thus changing the temperature distribution. In this work, the heat generation model for determining current and heat generation distribution for a given coil and mesh size, coded as a Mathematica function, was coupled with a simple genetic algorithm. The cost function to be minimized by the GA was the ratio of the maximum heat generation in the mesh to the minimum heat generation. Two studies were performed with the GA-based design optimization: the first with a six sided square mesh and the second using a ten sided square mesh. The best cut mesh designs obtained from the GA were compared with the globally optimal designs, where available, and with the baseline mesh. The GA could not reach the global optima due to the complex nature of the design search space. However, it was determined that the GA was able to reduce the variations in heat generation in the mesh for all cases and delivered significant improvements over the baseline case in reasonable computational time, evaluating less than 2% of the possible cut mesh patterns. Thus the genetic algorithm based design optimization was proven to be a computationally efficient tool in the generation of good cut mesh designs for the induction bonding process.

Using a panel of contiguous cDNAs that span the entire genome, we have assembled a full-length cDNA of the SARS-CoV Urbani strain, and have rescued molecularly cloned SARS viruses (infectious clone SARS-CoV) that contained the expected marker mutations inserted into the component clones. Recombinant viruses replicated as efficiently as WT virus and both were inhibited by treatment with the cysteine proteinase inhibitor (2S,3S)-transepoxysuccinylL-leucylamido-3-methylbutane ethyl ester. In addition, subgenomic transcripts were initiated from the consensus sequence ACGAAC in both the WT and infectious clone SARS-CoV. Availability of a SARS-CoV full-length cDNA provides a template for manipulation of the viral genome, allowing for the rapid and rational development and testing of candidate vaccines and therapeutics against this important human pathogen.

Unfortunately, electrographic brain seizures, neuroinflammation and brain cell death are still a potential problem even with treatment. In the present study we have characterized the time course of the central neuro-inflammatory gene response using quantitative real time-PCR (TaqMan™). Male Sprague–Dawley rats were pre-treated with HI-6 (1-2-hydroxy-iminomethyl-1-pyridino-3-(4-carbamoyl-1-pyridino-2-oxapropane dichloride); 125 mg/kg, i.p.) and exposed 30 min later to 1.6× LD50 of soman (pinacolyl methyl-phosphonofluoridate, 180 μg/kg, s.c.) followed at 1 min by atropine methyl nitrate (4 mg/kg, i.m.). Initially, a significant and dramatic upregulation of tumor necrosis factor-α and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 mRNA levels was measured 2 h post-exposure followed at 6 h by upregulation of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, E-selectin, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 with eventual resolution by 24–48 h. In conclusion, an acute and transient upregulation of the inflammatory gene response is activated following soman exposure that may be involved in the soman-induced brain injury process.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2003/10/02/Fall2003 Special Issue M3 - Article SP - 207 EP - 215 SN - 07490208 AB - The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) SHOALS (Scanning Hydrographic Operational Airborne Lidar Survey) program has evolved from an inlets R&D effort to a fully operational and constantly developing airborne coastal mapping initiative. The data collected in eight years of SHOALS survey operations have improved understanding of the coastal processes that drive shoreline change at USACE navigation and shore protection projects. The knowledge and experience gained from eight years of SHOALS operations have paved the way for a generational advancement in airborne coastal mapping by identifying complementary data sets to SHOALS bathymetry and by pinpointing aspects of survey planning, data collection, and data processing that could be automated for a more easily operated system. The result is the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system. CHARTS is an integrated bathymetric/ topographic/digital imagery system currently under development for the US Naval Oceanographic Office. A bathymetric lidar component operates at a rate of 1,000 Hz, while a topographic lidar component operates at 10,000 Hz. Digital imagery will be collected using a georeferenced camera that can provide a visual backdrop for the soundings and elevations collected by the other components. CHARTS will easily deploy from most photogrammetric aircraft of opportunity and will incorporate highly automated algorithms based on current SHOALS processing methodology. CHARTS will be commercially available as SHOALS-1000 following field-testing in August 2003. System flight parameters and sensor suite are ideal for further integration with additional sensors such as a hyperspectral imager. SHOALS-1000 will initiate a new era of complete coastal mapping from an airborne platform.

Effective speed of sound is readily derived from estimates of air temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity. However, meteorological models for the forest canopy vary from comparatively simple to academically complex, requiring different amounts and numbers of inputs and computer capabilities. In addition, not all canopy profile models are suitable for acoustic applications. In this paper, a meteorological computer model for the forest canopy is developed to derive continuous profiles of effective sound speed from the ground to 3 h, where h is the height of the canopy. In turn, these profiles are used to make some initial approximations of short-range acoustic transmission loss through a uniform forest stand for typical clear sky, midday atmospheric conditions. Also, a radiative transfer and energy budget algorithm is incorporated into the model to obtain the appropriate heat source profile for any time of day. Thus, physics-based micrometeorology is coupled to acoustics for future applications of acoustic information in forest environments.

While there is evidence that female inmates commit more, but less serious, infractions than do male inmates, it is not clear how these infractions affect the adjustment of women to prison. This article includes a study of the disciplinary behavior of a sample of 222 women released from a large maximum security prison. The sample is divided into different disciplinary groups based on the seriousness of behavior. Logistic regression analysis is utilized to assess the implications of disciplinary behavior. The study attempts to delineate the circumstances and conditions that provide the best opportunity for a woman's adjustment to prison. The findings indicate that the majority of women inmates do not commit infractions or engage in only minor infractions. However, there is a core group of chronic offenders who engage in violent infractions, and whose characteristics can be used to determine prison placement and programming for all inmates.

The model fits continuous growth-death kinetics for Staphylococcus aureus in intermediate moisture bread in various conditions of water activity, pH, and temperature. Growth rates evaluated using the quasi-chemical model are compared with values obtained with the Gompertz model. Kinetics data obtained with the quasi-chemical model are integrated with a probabilistic approach to estimate the boundary between growth and no-growth conditions. Continuous modeling of microbial growth/death kinetics in actual foods advances predictive modeling that conventionally separates growth and death models.

JO - Cellular & Molecular Life Sciences JF - Cellular & Molecular Life Sciences Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 60 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2266 EP - 2271 SN - 1420682X AB - The objective of the present study was to determine levels of DNA fragmentation in blood leukocytes from guinea pigs by single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) after exposure to the chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA), soman, at doses ranging from 0.1 LD50 to 0.4 LD50, once per day for either 5 or 10 days. Post-exposure recovery periods ranged from 0 to 17 days. Leukocytes were imaged from each animal, and the images analyzed by computer. Data obtained for exposure to soman demonstrated significant increases in DNA fragmentation in circulating leukocytes in CWNA-treated guinea pigs compared with saline-injected control animals at all doses and time points examined. Notably, significantly increased DNA fragmentation was observed in leukocytes 17 days after cessation of soman exposure. Our findings demonstrate that leukocyte DNA fragmentation assays may provide a sensitive biomarker for low-dose CWNA exposure.

Cocoon production EC20 values for RDX were 1.2 and 19 mg kg-1 in freshly amended and weathered/aged soils, respectively. Juvenile production EC20 values were 1.6 and 4.8 mg kg-1 in freshly amended and weathered/aged soils, respectively. Cocoon production and juvenile production EC20 values for HMX were 2.7 and 0.4 mg kg-1 in freshly amended soil. Both cocoon production and juvenile production in weathered/aged HMX treated soils were not significantly different (p > 0.05) from control soils.

The effects of these persistent and highly mobile in the environment energetic materials on soil biota have not been sufficiently investigated. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in conjunction with stakeholders, is developing Ecological Soil Screening Level (Eco-SSL) benchmarks for ecological risk assessment (ERA) of contaminants at Superfund sites to identify those contaminants in soil that warrant additional evaluation in a Baseline ERA, and to eliminate those that do not. Eco-SSLs are developed from literature values whenever sufficient quantity and quality of data exist. Insufficient data were available on the toxicity of energetic compounds, RDX and HMX, to soil invertebrates, necessitating toxicity testing. Tests were conducted under conditions preferred for Eco-SSL benchmarks, using a Sassafras sandy loam soil that supports relatively high bioavailability of test compounds. Toxicity testing was performed using enchytraeid reproduction test (ISO/16387 2001) measuring adult survival and juvenile production by the potworm Enchytraeus crypticus in freshly amended soil and weathered/aged amended soil. RDX or HMX had no effect on adult survival in the definitive tests in all treatment concentrations. Juvenile production EC20 values were 3,715 and 8,797 mg kg-1 RDX in freshly amended and weathered/aged amended soils, respectively. Juvenile E. crypticus production was not adversely affected by exposure to HMX in freshly amended and weathered/aged amended soils. Juvenile production was stimulated in freshly amended soil up to 21,750 mg kg-1 HMX. Results of these toxicity studies will be submitted to the Eco-SSL Task Group for quality control review, and pending approval will be included in the Eco-SSL database for Eco-SSL derivation.

Induced and repressed proteins together create a specific signature that can be used to identify a toxic agent and its concentration in the environmental matrix. The resulting protein expression signature for each agent will include a small number of the most potent proteins, which can be used to detect the presence and determine the concentration of a toxicant. We exposed the earthworm Eisenia fetida to a range of concentrations of chemical warfare agents (CWA) HD (mustard) and VX (nerve agent) in a natural sandy loam soil. Results demonstrated specificity of protein signatures in response to HD and VX exposure in soil. This study also showed that protein patterns were specific for different concentrations of HD or VX in otherwise clean agent-amended soil. Several proteins were induced in all HD or VX concentrations tested suggesting the potential of identifying the key proteins for use in detection of HD or VX presence in soil regardless of their concentrations. The robustness of the proteome-based response to chemical exposure by soil biota needs to be further investigated by including determinations of protein patterns for chemicals in different soil types and in the presence of additional chemical stressors using variety of soil invertebrate models.

For this program, ‘residential scale’ is defined as projects ranging in size from 1 to 20 kWe, regardless of the application. Successful applicants are required to provide fuel cell power to the application for one year, with an average availability of 90%. Approximately $6m was awarded from the FY 2001 and FY 2002 appropriations, for a total of 45 fuel cells. Some 75% of these are currently in operation, with two having completed the one-year operation period. The remainder will be installed over the next few months. In addition, approximately $3.5m has been provided in the FY 2003 appropriation. A solicitation for this program was issued, pre-proposals were reviewed, and several applicants were selected to submit follow-on full proposals. It is anticipated that awards will be made before the end of 2003. All units are being closely monitored to assess their performance, and lessons learned are being fed back to the fuel cell community to assist in optimized product development and enhanced operational and maintenance procedures.

The numerical results for two one-dimensional example problems with different boundary conditions are presented, wherein the effect of a gradient in the intact strength of the material on damage propagation is studied. The results show that introducing different strength gradients can alter the location of the site of maximum damage. This may have important implications in the design of impact resistant materials and structures.

Starting in 2001, engineering programs are being accredited under the new Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000). The philosophy of Engineering Criteria 2000 is to allow institutions and programs to define their mission and objectives to meet the needs of their constituents and enable program differentiation. Emphasis is placed on continuous improvement of programs based on the input of constituents and a process that links outcomes and assessment to program objectives. This paper is a preliminary study of selected mechanical engineering programs to discern the impact of EC2000 on curriculum development. Data on the layout and composition of mechanical engineering curricula for nine schools in the United States with PhD programs and nine schools without PhD programs are presented. This research establishes a baseline for these mechanical engineering programs at the beginning of EC2000 implementation. A follow-on study in two to three years in envisioned. This follow-on study will compare results and identify any significant changes in curricula as the EC2000 assessment process matures.

The composite bioadsorbent was characterized by high-temperature pyrolysis, porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Batch isothermal equilibrium and continuous column adsorption experiments were conducted at 25°C to evaluate the biosorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from synthetic as well as field samples obtained from chrome plating facilities. The effect of pH, sulfate, and chloride ion on adsorption was also investigated. The biosorbent loaded with Cr(Vl) was regenerated using 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. A comparison of the results of the present investigation with those reported in the literature showed that chitosan coated on alumina exhibits greater adsorption capacity for chromium(Vl). Further, experimental equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, and values of the parameters of the isotherms are reported. The ultimate capacity obtained from the Langmuir model is 153.85 mg/g chitosan.

The fundamental problem involves several challenging research issues including finding corresponding points between the virtual and the real scene and camera calibration. This paper presents our research in defining and mapping a set of reliable image features for registering the two imageries, extracting and selecting reliable control points for the construction of intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. A number of innovative algorithms are presented followed by extensive experimental analysis. An application of registering virtual database image with video image is presented. The algorithms we developed for calculating and matching linear structured features and selecting of reliable control points are applicable to image registration beyond virtual and real imageries.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics & Frequency Control JF - IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics & Frequency Control Y1 - 2003/10// VL - 50 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 1272 EP - 1278 SN - 08853010 AB - Piezoelectric thin film zinc oxide (ZnO) and its ternary alloy magnesium zinc oxide (Mg[sub x]Zn[sub 1-x]O) have broad applications in transducers, resonators, and filters. In this work, we present a new bulk acoustic wave (BAW) structure consisting of Al/Mg[sub x]Zn[sub 1-x]O/n[sup +]-ZnO/r-sapphire, where Al and n[sup +] type ZnO serve as the top and bottom electrode, respectively. The epitaxial Mg[sub x]Zn[sub 1-x]O films have the same epitaxial relationships with the substrate as ZnO on r-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3], resulting in the c-axis of the Mg[sub x]Zn[sub 1-x]O being in the growth plane. This relationship promotes shear bulk wave propagation that affords sensing in liquid phase media without the dampening effects found in longitudinal wave mode BAW devices. The BAW velocity and electromechanical coupling coefficient of Mg[sub x]Zn[sub 1-x]O can be tailored by varying the Mg composition, which provides an alternative and complementary method to adjust the BAW characteristics by changing the piezoelectric film thickness. This provides flexibility to design the operating frequencies of thin film bulk acoustic wave devices. Frequency responses of devices with two acoustic wave modes propagating in the specified structure are analyzed using a transmission line model. Measured results show good agreement with simulation.

Phenomena discovered and procedures developed in behavioral laboratories are being applied on a wide scale in commercial, industrial, and governmental settings. In behavioral toxicology, this transfer of technology has occurred in an ad hoc manner, albeit with a degree of sophistication. The development of technology transfer in other disciplines is instructive. A symposium at the May 2001 meeting of the Behavioral Toxicology Society examined this issue, and some participants provide their contributions here. Henry Pennypacker examines the issue of whether behavioral procedures can meet the demanding standards required to transfer technology to commercial endeavors and concludes that, under some conditions, they can. He notes that the shortage of well-developed and transferred behavioral technologies results from a lack of understanding of the process of technology transfer on the part of behavior analysts. In the field of engineering, the results of basic research are transformed to candidate technologies that meet standardized criteria with respect to three properties: quantification, repetition, and verification. Kent Anger describes the challenging steps in the trail from the laboratory to wide-scale application—steps that are essential for the scaling up of any behavioral technique. Finally, Paul Mele describes the legal background to patenting and copyrighting ideas, a process that behaviorists have rarely used. Together, these topics identify the requirements and warn of the challenges and intricacies that await those who seek to transfer behavioral technology beyond the laboratory.

The US and Europe must not allow our 'cultural' differences to push us into opposite corners, but should rather recognize that these differences -- preference for soft versus hard power -- lend themselves perfectly to a division of labor that addresses every aspect of the war against terrorism, from 'winning the hearts and minds', to cutting off recruits and retreating forces, to fighting and defeating the enemy in combat. This article presents a proposal for rethinking US and European responsibilities for global security and lays out a path to reach the end state: the burden of hegemonic responsibility shared by the United States and the European Union. This work is an attempt to improve transatlantic relations by changing attitudes within the United States and spurring concrete action in the European Union.

The Apostle Paul provides a biblical example of how American Christians should treat their citizenship in the age of an empire. Furthermore, within Christian tradition there are three schools of thought that can guide Christian debate on U.S. foreign policy: pacifists, realpolitik, and just war. The just war tradition lends itself best to open debate and current events. Christians should and can contribute as America reconciles itself to its neo-imperial influence.

The sample comprised 713 servicemen from 27 companies stationed at an Army post in the Alaskan interior. Group-level variables were based on individual reports on various dimensions of group climate aggregated at the company level. Contextual analyses were conducted using a variety of regression approaches. Individual-level predictor variables significantly associated with intimate partner violence included race, symptoms of depression, poor marital adjustment, alcohol problems, and a history of childhood abuse. Group-level predictor variables significantly associated with intimate partner violence included lower leadership support (vertical cohesion), a culture of hypermasculinity (operationally defined as increased group disrespect), and lower support for spouses.

JO - Journal of Arid Environments JF - Journal of Arid Environments Y1 - 2003/08// VL - 54 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 687 SN - 01401963 AB - Military training activities reduce vegetation cover, disturb crusts, and degrade soil aggregates, making the land more vulnerable to wind erosion. The objective of this study was to quantify wind erosion rates for typical conditions at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, CA, U.S.A. Five Big Spring Number Eight (BSNE) sampler stations were installed at each of five sites. Each BSNE station consisted of five BSNE samplers with the lowest sampler at 0·05 m and the highest sampler at 1·0 m above the soil surface. Once a month, sediment was collected from the samplers for analysis. Occurrence of saltating soil aggregates was recorded every hour using Sensits, one at each site. The site with the most erosion had a sediment discharge of 311 kg m−1 over a period of 17 months. Other sites eroded much less because of significant rock cover or the presence of a crust. Hourly sediment discharge was estimated combining hourly Sensit count and monthly sediment discharge measured using BSNE samplers. More simultaneously measured data are needed to better characterize the relationship between these two and reconstruct a detailed time-series of wind erosion. This measured time-series can then be used for comparison with simulation results from process-based wind erosion models such as the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS), once it has been adapted to the unique aspects of military lands.

Scribed candidate coatings were subjected to 13 weeks of cyclic salt-fog and UV exposures via ASTM D 5894 (with modifications). This controlled laboratory exposure approach has been suggested as a practical accelerating alternative to long-term outdoor exposure testing. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), sample potentials and coating disbonding at the scribe lines were used for evaluation. Unscribed samples were also subjected to 13 weeks of continuous immersion in the same test electrolyte composition and evaluated physically and via EIS. The complexity of the coating systems as well as the testing protocol introduced several evaluation difficulties, especially in the electrochemical testing. The relative merits of the coatings as well as the testing approaches are presented and discussed.

Microcosms containing a basal medium and the mixed culture were amended with ethanol, propylene glycol (PG), butyrate or hydrogen gas as the electron donor and a mixture of TNT (50 μM), RDX (25 μM), and HMX (8 μM). After 29 days TNT and RDX were completely transformed to unidentified endproducts in the bottles amended with ethanol, hydrogen, or PG, while 53%, 40%, and 22% of the HMX was transformed, respectively. There was no loss of RDX or HMX in the electron donor unamended control bottles. The ethanol and PG were transformed to near stoichiometric amounts of acetate and propionate, suggesting the immediate electron donor supporting the transformation of the explosives was the H2 evolved during the metabolism of the parent substrate. Our findings suggest that the addition of H2 or electron donors that produce H2 may be a useful strategy for enhancing the anaerobic biodegradation of explosives in contaminated groundwater and soils.

JO - Journal of Surgical Research JF - Journal of Surgical Research Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 113 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 74 SN - 00224804 AB - : IntroductionHypotension causes diffuse liver injury accompanied by increased local production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in swine models of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (HS). IL-6 is transcriptionally up-regulated by nuclear factor (NF)-κB and results in activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (Stat3) in a murine model of controlled HS. Our objectives were: 1) to determine if increased IL-6 production and NF-κB and Stat3 activation occurs in a swine model of uncontrolled HS, and 2) to assess whether or not levels of IL-6 mRNA and activity of NF-κB and Stat3 correlate with shock severity.: Materials and methodsSwine were assigned to four groups: 1) control animals (n = 6): no intervention, 2) sham operation (n = 6): celiotomy and splenectomy, 3) uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS) (n = 6): sham plus grade V vascular liver injury and resuscitation, 4) profound uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (PUHS) (n = 8): UHS after dilutional hypothermia. Following euthanasia at 2 h, livers were harvested, total RNA isolated, and IL-6 mRNA levels quantified by Q-RT-PCR (ABI Prism 7700, Applied Biosystems International, Foster City, CA). Protein was extracted for measurement of NF-κB and Stat3 activity by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).: ResultsCompared to shams, IL-6 mRNA levels increased 4.5-fold in UHS and 90-fold in PUHS (P < 0.001). Compared with shams; NF-κB activity increased 2-fold in both UHS and PUHS (P < 0.05). Stat3 activity was equivalent (not significant) in UHS when compared with shams but increased 5.3-fold in PUHS. (P < 0.05).: ConclusionThese findings suggest that regional proinflammatory cytokine production results from and perpetuates a proinflammatory transcription factor cascade in a swine model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock and indicate that this process is proportional to the severity of shock.

JO - Journal of Coastal Research JF - Journal of Coastal Research Y1 - 2003///Summer2003 VL - 19 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 684 EP - 722 SN - 07490208 AB - The performance of six installations of modular narrow-crested submerged breakwaters constructed of prefabricated concrete has been reviewed as a possible lower cost shoreline erosion prevention device. Two types of breakwaters that have been deployed since 1988, are reviewed here. Three Prefabricated Erosion Prevention (P.E.P.) Reefs™ have been constructed and monitored to assess performance at three sites on the lower central east coast of Florida, two in Palm Beach County and one in Indian River County. Three Beachsaver Reefs™ have been installed along the New Jersey Coast, two in Cape May County and one in Monmouth County. Both types of reef breakwaters have similar dimensions and are triangular in cross-section. The objective of these relatively low cost reef structures were to reduce wave heights, maintain a stable shoreline position, retain the existing volume of sand on the beach and protect the beach from storm waves. All six projects have been monitored for at least two years after installation. The monitoring evaluated the change in the position of a project defined shoreline, the volume of sand gained or lost behind the breakwater as well as control areas adjacent to the reef installation, settlement of the structure, scour around the base of the units and the amount of wave attenuation afforded by the structure. The installation configurations differ along with coastal morphology, underlying geology, coastal processes and placement relative to other shore protection structures. All of the installations measured scour at the landward side of the reef. This scour along with turbulence induced by waves interacting with the return flow deflected upward by the reef shape resulted in settlement of the reef over a two to six month period after installation. The settlement was mitigated by the use of a geotextile mattress and filter cloth on two of the projects. With and without settlement of the reef, the wave transmission was around 10% for all of the installations. The three Florida projects placed the P.E.P. Reef some distance off the beach in a shore parallel configuration. Two of the projects had a single solid reef line resulting in structure induced scour and erosion of the beach. The third placement was modified to a staggered inshore and offshore placement with gaps between the segments. All of the projects measured erosion or less accretion behind the reef relative to the control areas. The three New Jersey projects placed the Beachsaver Reef adjacent to groins, with one project semi-enclosed adjacent to an inlet terminal groin and the other two completely across the seaward end of groin compartments, forming a perched beach. Beach fills were also placed as part of the initial installation on two of the projects. The two locations that were completely enclosed in groin compartments retained the most sand.

Long-term (34 days) and short-term (13 and 25 hours) velocity measurements were made with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers. Tide measurements were made at five locations in Barnegat Bay. Wave measurements were collected for one year and wind measurements were available for the duration of the study. From the data it was found that tidal prism and bay tide amplitudes increased as the inlet system became more efficient with the new south jetty in place. It was found that flood predominance exists for spring tide conditions and ebb predominance can exist for some neap tides. In addition, over a given tidal cycle, locally flood-dominant and ebb-dominant channels exist. Overall the inlet is flood dominant in terms of current and sediment transport.

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) assay was developed to evaluate inhibitors of the proteolytic activity of BoNT/B with the objective of identifying suitable candidates for treatment of botulism. The assay was based on monitoring the cleavage of a peptide that corresponds to residues 44-94 of human VAMP-2 (V51) following reaction with the catalytic light chain (LC) of BoNT/B. Cleavage of V51 generated peptide fragments of 18 and 33 amino acids by scission of the bond between Q76 and F77. The fragments and parent peptide were clearly resolved by CE, allowing accurate quantification of the BoNT/B LC-mediated reaction rates. The results indicate that CE is suitable for assessing the enzymatic activity of BoNT/B LC.

Results from pile-load and pressuremeter tests showed maximum Ko values greater than 10; however, the complex geologic environment of the Midcontinent made defining an origin for the anomalous Ko based solely on these measurements equivocal. Although in situ sediment characteristics indicated that indirect tectonic or nontectonic geologic mechanisms that include transient overburden loads (e.g., fluvial deposition/erosion, glacial advance/retreat) and dynamic shear loads (e.g., earthquakes) were not the dominant cause, they were unable to provide indicators for a direct tectonic generation. Localized stresses induced anthropogenically by the geotechnical field tests were also considered, but ruled out as the primary origin. A high-resolution shear-wave (SH) reflection image of geologic structure in the immediate vicinity of the test site revealed compression-style neotectonism, and suggested that the elevated stress was a tectonic manifestation. Post-Paleozoic reflectors exhibit a Tertiary (?) structural inversion, as evidenced by post-Cretaceous fault displacement and pronounced positive folds in the hanging wall of the interpreted faults. The latest stratigraphic extent of the stress effects (i.e., all measurements were in the Late Cretaceous to Tertiary McNairy Formation), as well as the relationship of stress orientation with the orientation of local structure and regional stress, remain unknown. These are the subjects of ongoing studies.

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements showed consistent enlargement of reversed micelles upon addition of the bile salts; the hydrodynamic radius increased sixfold in the presence of 10 mM CHAPS and doubled in the presence of 5 mM NaTC. Inclusion of the enzyme yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH) increased the percolation temperature and distorted the spherical structure of the AOT reversed micelles. The spherical structure was restored upon addition of bile salt. These results may help to explain the increase in activity of YADH in AOT reversed micelles upon addition of bile salts.

Each couple was followed for ≤12 menstrual cycles while they attempted to conceive.: Intervention(s)Semen quality measures for the first ejaculates were obtained at the start of the study along with a single blood sample. Levels of FSH, bioactive FSH, inhibin B, LH, and T were measured for each man.: Main outcome measure(s)Semen analysis, FSH, inhibin B, LH, T, and clinical pregnancy.: Result(s)Significant positive relationships were observed between the two measures of FSH as well as between both of the FSH measures and LH. Follicle-stimulating hormone as measured by RIA was significantly negatively correlated with inhibin B. Inhibin B showed a marginally significant negative correlation with LH, and LH and T had a marginally significant positive correlation. Inhibin B increased significantly, and both measures of FSH activity showed significant decreases, with increasing levels in several semen quality measures. There was no significant relationship between the measured hormones and the pregnant and nonpregnant groups or time to pregnancy.: Conclusion(s)These results contribute additional information on the utility of reproductive hormone measurements for predicting semen quality in couples without known reduced fertility.

The depths of the stations ranged from about 100 m to 2500 m. The measured spectra are in good agreement with predictions made using Cato's theory [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 89, 1076-1095 (1991)] for noise generation by surface-wave orbital motion after extending the calculations to incorporate horizontally stratified environments. Contributions from both the linear, single-frequency (virtual monopole) and the nonlinear, double-frequency (dipole) mechanisms are clearly recognizable in the data. The predictions make use of directional wave data obtained from surface buoys deployed during the SWADE experiment and an ocean bottom model derived from compressional wave speed data measured during the EDGE deep seismic reflection survey. The results demonstrate conclusively that nonlinear surface-wave interactions are the dominant mechanism for generating deep-ocean ULF noise in the band 0.2-0.7 Hz.

The PSHSV program calculates and plots amplitude (reflection and refraction/transmission) coefficients, square root energy ratios, energy coefficients, and phase changes for elastic waves of P-, SH- or SV-type incident on an interface between elastic media. The EHEV program calculates and plots amplitude coefficients, square root energy ratios, energy coefficients, and phase changes for electromagnetic waves of EH- or EV-type incident on an interface between dielectric media. The applicability of the programs is demonstrated through the presentation of solutions (plotted as a function of incidence angle) obtained for geologic environments commonly encountered in seismic and ground penetrating radar applications.

Experiments assessed performance for design hydraulic loadings and detention times and for two seasons (summer and winter). DAF clarification achieved about 2 log oocyst removal for both seasons either with or without recycle of FBW. Plate settling in the summer achieved 1.8–1.9 log oocyst removal with no effects from recycle of FBW. Plate settling performance was poorer in the winter at about 1 log oocyst removal without recycle, and decreased slightly with recycle of FBW. No effects were found from recycle of FBW on DAF and filtration performance for turbidity and particle counts (2–15 μm). There were no or minor effects for the same parameters on plate settling performance and no effects on filter performance. For both treatment plants, no oocysts were found in the dual media filter effluent either with or without recycle of FBW.

The “Dual-Frequency Identification Sonar” (DIDSON) is a high-definition imaging sonar that obtains near-video quality images for the identification of objects underwater. Developed originally for the U.S. Navy by the University of Washington''s Applied Physics Laboratory, it bridges the gap between existing fisheries-assessment sonar and optical systems. The images within 12 m of this acoustic camera are sufficiently clear such that fish can be observed undulating as they swim and their orientation ascertained in otherwise zero-visibility water. In the 1.8 MHz high-frequency mode, this system 96 beams over a 29° field-of-view. The high resolution and fast frame rate provide target visualization in real time. The DIDSON can be used where conventional underwater cameras would be limited by low light levels and high turbidity.

The model assumes that fracture energy supplied to the crack tip region that is in excess of that needed for the creation of new free surfaces during crack advance is converted to heat within the cohesive zone. Bulk dissipation mechanisms, such as plasticity, are not accounted for. Several cohesive traction laws are examined, and the model is then used to make predictions of crack tip heating at various crack propagation speeds in the nominally brittle amorphous polymer PMMA, observed to fail by a crazing-type mechanism. The heating predictions are compared to experimental data where the temperature field surrounding a high speed crack in PMMA was measured. Measurements are made in real time using a multi-point high speed HgCdTe infrared radiation detector array. At the same time as temperature, simultaneous measurement of fracture energy is made by a strain gauge technique, and crack tip speed is monitored through a resistance ladder method. Material strength can be estimated through uniaxial tension tests, thus minimizing the need for parameter fitting in the stress-opening traction law. Excellent agreement between experiments and theory is found for two of the cohesive traction law temperature predictions, but only for the case where a single craze is active during the dynamic fracture of PMMA, i.e. crack tip speed up to approximately 0.2cR. For higher speed fracture where subsurface damage becomes prominent, the line dissipation model of a cohesive zone is inadequate, and a distributed damage model is needed.

Most patients enrolled in these trials were Caucasian men. Whether an equal effect is achieved in women, non-Caucasians, and patients with major comorbidities has not been established.: MethodsThe authors performed a meta-analysis of published and individual patient data from the 12 largest randomized clinical trials of ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers to produce random effects estimates of mortality for subgroups.: ResultsData support beneficial reductions in all-cause mortality for the use of beta-blockers in men and women, the use of ACE inhibitors and some beta-blockers in black and white patients, and the use of ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers in patients with or without diabetes. Women with symptomatic LV systolic dysfunction probably benefit from ACE inhibitors, but women with asymptomatic LV systolic dysfunction may not have reduced mortality when treated with ACE inhibitors (pooled relative risk = 0.96; 95% confidence interval: 0.75 to 1.22). The pooled estimate of three beta-blocker studies supports a beneficial effect in black patients with heart failure, but one study assessing bucindolol reported a nonsignificant increase in mortality.: ConclusionsAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers provide life-saving benefits in most of the subpopulations assessed. Women with asymptomatic LV systolic dysfunction may not achieve a mortality benefit when treated with ACE inhibitors.

This treatment considers a single, monochromatic, plane-wave source at near-normal incidence. A line-of-sight propagation path is assumed. The primary interests are in calculating the Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the azimuthal and elevational angles of arrival and in observing how these bounds change with the introduction of additional unknowns, such as the propagation distance, turbulence parameters, and signal-to-noise ratio. In both two and three dimensions, it is found that for large values of the index-of-refraction variance, the Cramer-Rao lower bounds of the angles of arrival increase significantly at large values of the normalized propagation distance. For small values of the index-of-refraction variance and normalized propagation distance, the signal-to-noise ratio is found to be the limiting factor. In the two-dimensional treatment, it is found that the estimate of the angle of arrival will decouple from the estimates of the other parameters with the appropriate choice of array geometry. In three dimensions, again with an appropriate choice of array geometry, the estimates of the azimuth and elevation will decouple from the estimates of the other parameters, but due to the constraints of the model, will remain coupled to one another.

Two critical experimental conditions were employed to ensure the conclusive detection of these waves. First, acoustic pulses rather than a continuous wave source allowed an examination of the waveform shape and avoided the masking of wave arrivals. Second, a snow cover provided favorable ground impedance conditions for surface waves to exist. The acoustic pulses were generated by blank pistol shots fired 1 m above the snow. The resultant waveforms were measured using a vertical array of six microphones located 60 m away from the source at heights between 0.1 and 4.75 m. A strong, low frequency ''tail'' following the initial arrival was recorded near the snow surface. This tail, and its exponential decay with height (z) above the surface (~e2-az), are diagnostic features of surface waves. The measured attenuation coefficient a was 0.28 m-1. The identification of the surface wave is confirmed by comparing the measured waveforms with waveforms predicted by the theoretical evaluation of the explicit surface wave pole term using residue theory.

Before the tests, heat resistances of a Clostridium sporogenes (PA 3679) spore crop were determined in neutral phosphate buffer and macaroni and cheese product. Trays of macaroni and cheese products were subjected to 3 processing levels: target process (F0= 2.4), under target process (F0= 1.2), and over target process (F0= 4.8). The inoculated packs were evaluated by count-reduction method and end-point method. The microbial results showed that microbial destruction resulting from MCWC heating technology matched the calculated degree of sterilization (F0 value). This study suggests that the MCWC heating technology has potential in sterilizing packaged foods.

Taste was found to be the most important factor for both consumer groups, followed by the benefit to be achieved, the source of the benefit claim, required dosage, mode of consumption, and product type (natural compared with synthetic). Interest among the military was greatest for products that increased muscle mass, whereas interest among civilians was greatest for products that improved thinking. For both groups, required frequency of consumption greater than 3 times a day had a negative influence on probable use, whereas consumption in a capsule form was viewed most desirable.

Dielectric constants, loss factors, and penetration depths for each sample over a temperature range from 20 to 121.1 °C, at frequencies of 27, 40, 915, and 1800 MHz are reported. As temperature increased, dielectric constants of whey protein products increased at 27 and 40 MHz, but decreased at 915 and 1800 MHz. Dielectric loss factors of whey protein products increased sharply with increasing temperatures at 27 and 40 MHz, but increased mildly at 915 and 1800 MHz. Similar results were observed with macaroni and cheese. The penetration depths of electromagnetic energy at 27 and 40 MHz were about four times as great as those at the microwave frequencies 915 and 1800 MHz in all tested samples.

In a dual-task paradigm, 12 healthy male participants (aged 21.8±2.4 years) walked and ran on a treadmill while solving mental arithmetic (MA) organized in two levels of difficulty (easy and hard). Speed was increased over seven increments of 0.1 ms−1 while the walk–run transition speed (TS) and central and peripheral ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded. MA performance was maintained between control (no locomotion) and treadmill conditions and participants rated hard MA as more difficult and more mentally engaging than easy MA. The TS increased during both levels of MA, although RPE values did not reflect psychological attenuation across the transition. Together, these results support the hypothesis that cognitive load distracts attentional focus from physiological cues that contribute to triggering human gait transitions.

The model analyzes multiple endmember spectral mixtures with a spectral library of snow, vegetation, rock, and soil. We derive snow spectral endmembers of varying grain size from a radiative transfer model; spectra for vegetation, rock, and soil were collected in the field and laboratory. For three AVIRIS images of Mammoth Mountain, California that span common snow conditions for winter through spring, we validate the estimates of snow-covered area with fine-resolution aerial photographs and validate the estimates of grain size with stereological analysis of snow samples collected within 2 h of the AVIRIS overpasses. The RMS error for snow-covered area retrieved from AVIRIS for the combined set of three images was 4%. The RMS error for snow grain size retrieved from a 3×3 window of AVIRIS data for the combined set of three images is 48 μm, and the RMS error for reflectance integrated over the solar spectrum and over all hemispherical reflectance angles is 0.018.

Experiments were conducted by using a glassy carbon (zero porosity) coated graphite cylinder as the cathode and a platinum wire as the anode. All experiments were conducted under dissolved oxygen concentration of less than 1.5 mg/L. Initially, experiments simulating batch conditions were conducted to obtain the optimum operating conditions for the reactor. During this batch-mode study, the effects of various parameters such as applied current, electrolyte concentration, and type of electrolyte on the reduction of DNT were evaluated. Results obtained showed that the rates of reduction of DNT increased with an increase in current or concentration of electrolyte. Based on the results obtained from the batch simulation experiments, continuous flow experiments were conducted at three different currents. The ionic strength of the feed solution was maintained at 0.027 M. A current of 200 mA was found to provide a stable reduction of DNT at the 80% level for a period of 14 days after which reactor cleaning is necessary for removal of solids that were formed within the reactor. End products determined for the continuous flow experiments showed 100% molar balance conversion.

From previous investigations, a relationship between the biological utilization of ethanol as co-substrate for the reduction of TNT under anaerobic conditions was proposed using an anaerobic fluidized-bed reactor (AFBR). In this study, the theoretical co-substrate requirement for reduction of TNT to TAT was further investigated through the systematic lowering of the ethanol loading to the reactor. Near complete reduction to TAT was observed up to a critical ethanol loading point, as well as the production of methane from the limited excess available ethanol. Once ethanol deficient loading conditions were established, the increased presence of incompletely reduced degradation intermediates, such as 2,4-diamino-6-nitrotoluene, and even TNT, was observed. The cessation of methanogenesis confirmed that no excess ethanol was available. Degradation of the TAT intermediate in the reactor effluent was investigated using two second-stage reactors under oxidizing conditions. The first was an aerobic activated sludge reactor, and the second was a denitrifying fluidized-bed reactor (DenFBR). The aerobic reactor was successful in lowering the chemical oxygen demand (COD), but complete removal of TAT was not accomplished. Because of TAT polymerization and auto-oxidation under aerobic conditions, it was difficult to confirm to what extent of TAT removal was biological. In the DenFBR, incompletely reduced TNT intermediates were not successfully degraded, but strong evidence existed for the degradation of TAT. This is the first known report of second stage degradation of TAT under denitrifying conditions.

Guinea pigs, previously implanted with cortical electrodes for EEG recording, were pretreated with pyridostigmine bromide (0.026 mg/kg im) 30 min prior to challenge with 2× LD50 dose (sc) of a given nerve agent; in a separate experiment, animals were challenged with 5× LD50 sc of soman. One minute after agent challenge the animals were treated im with 2 mg/kg atropine SO4 admixed with 25 mg/kg 2-PAM Cl. Five minutes after the start of EEG seizures, animals were treated im with different doses of anticholinergics or benzodiazepines and observed for seizure termination. The time to seizure onset, the time to seizure termination, and 24-h lethality were recorded. The anticonvulsant ED50 of each drug for termination of seizures induced by each agent was calculated and compared. Brain tissue from animals that survived 24 h was examined for pathology. All drugs were capable of terminating seizure activity, with midazolam and trihexyphenidyl being significantly more potent than the other drugs, and midazolam being more rapid in controlling seizure than atropine, trihexyphenidyl, or diazepam against each agent. Seizures induced by sarin or VX required lower doses of all the test anticonvulsants. The dose of a given drug that was an effective anticonvulsant against a 2× LD50 challenge of soman was equally effective against seizures induced by a 5× LD50 challenge. All nerve agents were capable of producing neuropathology. Seizure control was strongly associated with protection against acute lethality and brain pathology.

The mass transfer model developed to determine the mass transfer coefficients advances the McWhirter and Hutter (A.I.Ch.E. J. 35(9) (1989) 1527) model by tracking oxygen and nitrogen transfer into and out of the bubbles as they rise to the water surface. The resulting vertical profiles of the liquid-phase equilibrium concentration inside the bubble and the gas-phase oxygen composition give insight into how the bubble–water concentration gradient changes over depth. The surface mass transfer coefficient, kLsas, is 59–85% of the bubble mass transfer coefficient, kLab, and the driving concentration difference is smaller for surface transfer. Surface transfer and bubble transfer both contribute significantly to oxygen transfer; however, bubble transfer is the primary mode of oxygen transfer for this system at the air flow rates used. Further experiments demonstrate that most of the surface transfer occurs above the bubble plume.

These data were compared to questionnaires completed by this same cohort at the start and end of the year, as well as to personality questionnaires distributed to some of these cadets as part of a larger study. Pearson''s chi-square and analysis of variance were performed to determine statistical significance.Results: Weekly e-mail data revealed that only 1.7% of cadets had regular menstrual periods throughout the whole year. The remaining 98.3% were irregular: 10.3% mildly, 35.3% moderately, 30.2% severely, and 22.4% extremely irregular. Only 0.8% of subjects did not menstruate at all during the year. In comparison, on long-term recall data, 90% reported some change in menstrual function, with 48% specifically reporting menstrual irregularity. Those with the greatest irregularity prior to USMA and those who expected greater irregularity at USMA reported the greatest irregularity during the year. Irregularity was associated with coping and with commitment to health on personality questionnaires.Conclusions: On data collected via weekly e-mail, almost all freshman females at USMA experienced menstrual irregularity. This data, utilizing short-term recall, yielded different, more dramatic results than the data utilizing long-term recall. A link between menstrual irregularity and both coping and commitment suggests that menstrual irregularity may be adaptive in this environment.

T1 - Comparison of the protective efficacy of DNA and baculovirus-derived protein vaccines for EBOLA virus in guinea pigs JO - Virus Research JF - Virus Research Y1 - 2003/04// VL - 92 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 187 SN - 01681702 AB - The filoviruses Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans for which no vaccines are available. Previously, a priming dose of a DNA vaccine expressing the glycoprotein (GP) gene of MARV followed by boosting with recombinant baculovirus-derived GP protein was found to confer protective immunity to guinea pigs (Hevey et al., 2001. Vaccine 20, 568–593). To determine whether a similar prime-boost vaccine approach would be effective for EBOV, we generated and characterized recombinant baculoviruses expressing full-length EBOV GP (GP1,2) or a terminally-deleted GP (GPa-) and examined their immunogenicity in guinea pigs. As expected, cells infected with the GPa- recombinant secreted more GP1 than those infected with the GP1,2 recombinant. In lectin binding studies, the insect cell culture-derived GPs were found to differ from mammalian cell derived virion GP, in that they had no complex/hybrid N-linked glycans or glycans containing sialic acid. Despite these differences, the baculovirus-derived GPs were able to bind monoclonal antibodies to five distinct epitopes on EBOV GP, indicating that the antigenic structures of the proteins remain intact. As a measure of the ability of the baculovirus-derived proteins to elicit cell-mediated immune responses, we evaluated the T-cell stimulatory capacity of the GPa- protein in cultured human dendritic cells. Increases in cytotoxicity as compared to controls suggest that the baculovirus proteins have the capacity to evoke cell-mediated immune responses. Guinea pigs vaccinated with the baculovirus-derived GPs alone, or in a DNA prime-baculovirus protein boost regimen developed antibody responses as measured by ELISA and plaque reduction neutralization assays; however, incomplete protection was achieved when the proteins were given alone or in combination with DNA vaccines. These data indicate that a vaccine approach that was effective for MARV is not effective for EBOV in guinea pigs.

Equations were developed as a function of temperature, moisture, and ash, and compared to literature equations. The dielectric constant decreased with ash content and increased with moisture content. It increased instead of decreasing with temperature. The dielectric loss factor increased with moisture content for moisture contents lower than 60.7%, then decreased for higher moisture contents. Ash content and temperature increased dielectric loss factor. Frozen samples had low dielectric activity that was increased by ash content above -20 to -10 °C.

Current smoking has been associated with lower scores on the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36). Whether this occurs among the elderly and disabled Medicare populations is not known. This study assessed the relationships between smoking status and both physical and mental functioning in the Medicare managed-care population.: MethodsDuring the spring of 1998, data were collected from 134,309 elderly and 8640 disabled Medicare beneficiaries for Cohort 1, Round 1 of the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey. We subsequently used these data to calculate mean standardized SF-36 scores, self-reported health status, and prevalence of smoking-related illness, by smoking status, after adjusting for demographic factors.: ResultsAmong the disabled, everyday and someday smokers had lower standardized physical component (PCS) and mental component (MCS) scores than never smokers (−2.4 to −4.5 points; p <0.01 for all). Among the elderly, the lowest PCS and MCS scores were seen among recent quitters (−5.1 and −3.7 points, respectively, below those for never smokers; p <0.01 for both), but current smokers also had significantly lower scores on both scales. For the elderly and disabled populations, MCS scores of long-term quitters were the same as nonsmokers. Similar patterns were seen across all eight SF-36 scales. Ever smokers had higher odds of reporting both less-than-good health and a history of smoking-related chronic disease.: ConclusionsIn the elderly and disabled Medicare populations, smokers report worse physical and mental functional status than never smokers. Long-term quitters have better functional status than those who still smoke. More effort should be directed at helping elderly smokers to quit earlier. Smoking cessation has implications for improving both survival and functional status.

Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid''s lupine), a threatened species and the primary larval host plant of the endangered Icaricia icarioides fenderi (Fender''s blue butterfly), was historically a panmictic metapopulation. Habitat fragmentation may be causing many of the Kincaid''s lupine colonies to display typical symptoms of inbreeding depression, such as low seed production. Hand outcrosses on bagged inflorescences significantly increased seed set and seed fitness compared to open pollination and within-colony pollen treatments. Natural seed set was positively correlated with an increase in the number of Kincaid''s lupine patches, suggesting that population size limits seed set. An increase in fruit set was positively correlated with Kincaid''s lupine raceme number, raceme density, and the number of lupine patches, demonstrating that floral display and population size increase pollinator service. Restoration of Kincaid''s lupine populations should consider measures that lessen the effects of inbreeding depression, especially in small, isolated populations, for the long-term persistence of the species.

Indeed, formulating effective air quality attainment strategies for formation of ozone, fine particles, and other secondary air pollutants may depend in some regions upon the strength of biogenic emissions, requiring the geolocated characterization of plant species and their areal coverages. Vegetation databases developed through remote sensing methods require calibration and validation from ground-based measurements to be reliably used for BVOC modeling. A recent GIS-based description of vegetation coverage in the natural areas of the US is provided by the Gap Analysis Program (GAP) database. We conducted an assessment of this database in central California through quantitative ground-based vegetation surveys in 18 polygons, using a modified stratified randomized sampling design, to evaluate the use of GAP for developing BVOC emission inventories. The plant species listed by GAP accounted for between 0% and 88% of the relative cover in the polygons, with a mean of 43%. Of the 76 species listed by GAP for which data were collected, 33 were found to be correctly listed within their respective assemblages, 13 were found to be listed for the wrong assemblage, and 30 were below percentages of co-dominants of any assemblage. Summed over all 18 polygons, BVOC emission indices based on field data were 20% less than those based on GAP, but for individual polygons differences ranged from −100% to more than +100%.

The CN2 model is a semi-empirical algorithm developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to provide realistic values for the refractive index structure parameter over land given two vertical levels of conventional wind speed, temperature, and humidity data as input. The CN2 model is based on the structure function formulations of Tatarski. Equations for the real index of refraction are expressed in terms of temperature, pressure, and moisture (preferably the conserved elements potential temperature and specific humidity). Calculations of micrometeorological profile structure are carried out via Monin–Obukhov theory for the surface layer. Model results can be derived for unstable, stable, and near-neutral atmospheric conditions. The CN2 model algorithm is validated in comparison to optical scintillometer data collected at 2 m above ground level over a 450 m path. The paper reported here contains technical and user’s guide information on the CN2 model.

Equations were developed as a function of temperature, moisture, water activity, and ash, and compared to literature equations. Unexpected results were: as the water activity decreased or ash increased, the dielectric constant increased with temperature, and dielectric loss factor of reduced moisture samples was determined by moisture not ash. It is theorized that the effect of temperature on dielectric constant is a function of the ratio of bound to free water. Glycerol did not affect the dielectric properties, while lactic acid decreases them by promoting water loss during protein denaturation.

Chemical marker M-1 was used to evaluate heating uniformity in 20% whey protein gels as a model food, and macaroni and cheese was processed to assess the influence of RF process on product quality. With the RF system, a lethality ( F0= 10 min) was achieved in both model food and macaroni and cheese within 30 min with relative uniform heating, compared to a 90 min conventional retort process that delivered a similar lethality.

Composite structures which include the piezoelectric actuating film, metal electrode layers, and a flexural layer are required for these devices. The crystalline quality of the AlN film is strongly dependant on the growth technique used, and may significantly impact the piezoelectric response. We have fabricated MEMS resonator devices using sputtered and pulsed laser deposited (PLD) AlN thin films. Highly oriented <0001> PLD AlN films have been deposited on platinum-terminated composite MEMS structures. Devices made using PLD films have been observed to result in significantly greater displacement, lower actuation voltage, and higher device Q than equivalent devices made with sputtered AlN films that are less crystalline and may have different stoichiometry. AlN thin film deposition, device fabrication, and modeshape analysis of resultant MEMS resonator devices are discussed for sputtered and PLD AlN films.

This new method includes a rational criteria for evaluating various channel configurations and depths for a range of realistic environmental (i.e., wind, wave, and current) conditions and annual number of ship calls. This four-component climatology-interactive model includes a Poisson probability law for number of ship arrivals, a Bernoulli probability law for grounding in a single random ship arrival, an estimation of the probability parameter in the Bernoulli law from model tests, and a determination of recurrence intervals or return periods. A remote-controlled model of a C9 containership was used to evaluate the navigability of existing and proposed harbor and entrance-channel configurations for a range of environmental conditions in a three-dimensional physical model of Barbers Point Harbor, Oahu, HI.

The resulting gradient equation can be recast in a form involving just three nondimensional variables. The first is the ratio of a sound-speed scale (representing the strength of the turbulent fluctuations in the sound speed) to the friction velocity. The second is the ratio of the actual height to a transitional height where contributions from the near-ground wind-speed gradients and the adiabatic lapse rate are roughly balanced. The third is simply the cosine of the angle between the propagation direction and mean wind direction. When the magnitude of the sound-speed scale/friction velocity ratio is large, refraction is unconditionally upward or downward, depending on sign of the ratio. A small value for this ratio indicates nearly neutral atmospheric stratification, for which refraction is determined by the wind direction for small values of the nondimensional height and is upward for larger values. The contribution to refraction from air humidity is determined as a function of the Bowen ratio and found to be significant over wet surfaces. Weather conditions appropriate for measurement of sound pressure levels are also discussed.   [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Fifty-seven species representing 30 families were collected during the course of the study. Over 90% of each sampling period''s catch was composed of five taxa or less. These taxa included Atlantic and rough silversides, Menidia menidia and Membras martinica, bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, and bay and striped anchovies, Anchoa mitchilli and Anchoa hepsetus, with the relative contributions of these taxa varying among years. Both bluefish and anchovy abundances varied by an order of magnitude among years. Size-frequency distributions indicate summer-spawned bluefish recruit to the surf zone habitat as two cohorts in August and October, respectively. Fish abundance and richness were greater at substations closest to rock groins. Taxonomic richness declined along with decreasing water temperature in the fall, but was not correlated with turbidity or tide stage (measured as minutes before or after low tide). The extensive sampling effort undertaken in this study, 2190 seine hauls that captured 295 868 fish, was examined in relation to the number and relative proportions of taxa collected. Species accumulation curves and percent similarity calculations were used to investigate the adequacy of a reduced sampling protocol in characterizing the taxonomic composition of the surf zone fish community. Calculations from eight complete sampling periods (84 seine hauls each) indicate that a reduction in sampling effort by one-half would have yielded on average 75% of the total number of species captured with approximately 85% similarity in relative species composition.

We have previously published a single compartment mathematical model of the interactions between OP nerve agents and the enzymes affected by these agents. That model, which could be used to predict the LD50 of seven nerve agents in rats, has been extended to include the protective actions of stoichiometric and catalytic OP–scavenger enzymes (delivered as pretreatments) so that protective ratios attributable to the scavengers may be predicted. Prediction of expected human protection from in vitro rate constant and initial enzyme level measurements is the ultimate goal for this work. The enhanced model predicts the LD50 from rate constants of the OP agent’s binding reactions with AChE, carboxylesterase (CaE) and a stoichiometric scavenger (S); a first-order OP elimination rate (including a contribution due to a catalytic scavenger); and whole body estimates of AChE, CaE and S. The ratio of the scavenger-treated LD50 estimate to the scavenger-free LD50 estimate provided a theoretical expression describing the scavenger’s contributions to the protective ratio. Published in vivo protective ratios for two stoichiometric scavengers (fetal bovine serum AChE and human utyrylcholinesterase) against challenge by several OP agents in mice were compared with ratios predicted by the model. A linear regression analysis of in vivo protective ratios in mice versus the ratios predicted by the model from the in vitro measurements resulted in an R2 value of 0.902. The catalytic scavenger portion of the theory could not be validated due to a lack of published data. We conclude that the one-compartment model can be used to make reasonable estimates of the protective ratio attributable to stoichiometric scavengers, but can make no conclusions regarding the ability of the model to predict catalytic scavenger protection ratios.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 22 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 381 EP - 387 SN - 07307268 AB - The potential risk to wildlife from exposure to explosives, including 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), has been an issue at numerous U.S. military installations where these substances are found in soil and water. Presently, no data describing the effects of RDX exposure in avian species exist. Therefore, an acute lethal dose (ALD) and 14- and 90-d subchronic dietary exposures to RDX were evaluated in a species potentially present at many contaminated sites, i.e., the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). The ALDs for females and males were 187 and 280 mg/kg, respectively. Data from the 14-d dietary trial suggested that RDX exposure inhibited food consumption, weight gain, and egg production. Dietary RDX exposure for 90-d produced a dose-dependant decreasing trend in total feed consumption, total egg production, and hen-housed production parameters. These collective data suggest that quail may respond differently to oral RDX exposure compared with mammals.

JO - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology JF - Journal of Contaminant Hydrology Y1 - 2003/02// VL - 60 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 287 SN - 01697722 AB - In-situ bio-remediation is a viable cleanup alternative for aquifers contaminated by hydrocarbons such as BTEX. Transport models of varying complexity and capabilities are used to quantify their degradation. A model that has gained wide acceptance in applications is BIOPLUME II, which assumes that oxygen-limited biodegradation takes place as an instantaneous reaction. In this work we have employed theoretical analysis, using non-dimensional variables, and numerical modelling to establish a quantitative criterion demarcating the range of validity of the instantaneous reaction approximation against biodegradation kinetics. Oxygen was the limiting species and sorption was ignored. This criterion relates 〈Da〉∣o, the Dahmko¨hler number at oxygen depletion, to Oo*, the ratio of initial to input oxygen concentration, 〈Da〉∣o≥0.7(Oo*)2+0.1Oo*+1.8. The derived 〈Da〉∣o reflects the intrinsic characteristics of the physical transport and of the biochemical reaction, including the effect of biomass density. Relative availability of oxygen and hydrocarbons exerts a small influence on results. Theory, verified and refined via numerical simulations, showed that significant deviations of instantaneous reactions from kinetics are to be expected in the space–time region sLiBF4 salt instead of LiPF6, which is the chosen solute in the state-of-the-art Li-ion electrolytes. We found that although LiBF4-based electrolyte has lower ionic conductivity than the LiPF6 analogue, it provides improved low temperature performance. In particular, at −30 °C, a Li-ion cell with 1 m (mol/kg solvent) LiBF4 dissolved in 1:1:3 (wt.) propylene carbonate (PC)/ethylene carbonate (EC)/ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC) mixed solvent delivers as high as 86% of capacity, in comparison to that obtained at 20 °C. Whereas the counterpart one, using LiPF6, only retains 72%. Furthermore, the cell with LiBF4-based electrolyte shows lower polarization at −30 °C. The above results suggest that the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte is not the only limitation to the low temperature operation of Li-ion batteries. Analysis of cell impedance reveals that the improved low temperature performance by LiBF4 arises from a reduced charge-transfer resistance.

T1 - Disease outbreak detection system using syndromic data in the greater Washington DC area1 1Information for the full text of this article is available via AJPM Online at www.ajpm-online.net. JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2002/10// VL - 23 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 180 SN - 07493797 AB - Background: Many infectious disease outbreaks, including those caused by intentional attacks, may first present insidiously as ill-defined syndromes or unexplained deaths. While there is no substitute for the astute healthcare provider or laboratorian alerting the health department of unusual patient presentations, suspicious patterns may be apparent at the community level well before patient-level data raise an alarm.Methods: Through centralized Department of Defense medical information systems, diagnoses based on International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes are obtained daily from 99 military emergency rooms and primary care clinics across the Washington, DC, region. Similar codes are grouped together in seven diagnostic clusters that represent related presenting signs, symptoms, and diagnoses. Daily monitoring of the data is conducted and evaluated for variation from comparable historic patterns for all seven syndrome groups. Geospatial mapping and trend analysis are performed using geographic information systems software. Data were received on a daily basis beginning in December 1999 and collection continues. The data cut-off date for this manuscript was January 2002.Results: Demographic breakdown of military beneficiaries covered by the surveillance area reveals a broad age, gender, and geographic distribution that is generalizable to the Washington DC region. Ongoing surveillance for the previous 2 years demonstrates expected fluctuations for day-of-the-week and seasonal variations. Detection of several natural disease outbreaks are discussed as well as an analysis of retrospective data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s sentinel physicians-surveillance network during the influenza season that revealed a significantly similar curve to the percentage of patients coded with a respiratory illness in this new surveillance system.Discussion: We believe that this surveillance system can provide early detection of disease outbreaks such as influenza and possibly intentional acts. Early detection should enable officials to quickly focus limited public health resources, decrease subsequent mortality, and improve risk communication. The system is simple, flexible, and, perhaps most critical, acceptable to providers in that it puts no additional requirements on them.

Localization of munitions and fate and transport of the explosive compounds from these munitions are a major issue of concern. A set of laboratory experiments were conducted in specially designed flux chambers to measure the evaporative flux of three explosive compounds (2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, and 1,3-dinitrobenzene) from three different soils. The effect of different soil moisture contents, the relative humidity of air contacting the soil surface, and soil temperature on the chemical fluxes were evaluated. A diffusion model was used to describe the chemical transport mechanism in the soil pore air. The soil-air partition constant was treated as a fit parameter in the model because of the uncertainty in the a priori estimation. The model predicts the qualitative trends of the experimental fluxes satisfactorily. Under extremely dry conditions, the flux decreased more rapidly than that predicted by the model. The fluxes from soils at 24°C were higher than those at 14°C, indicating a larger volatilization driving force at the higher temperature.

Much has been written and discussed concerning the process for assessing and/or revising a program curriculum. Studies are beginning to show the positive effects of well-integrated curricula where assessment methods are applied consistently. There has also been much written to support individual course assessment and revision. What is missing in many instances is a credible link between program-level curriculum management and course assessment. At the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, an integrating tool within the academy's assessment model, called a Course Assessment Plan, has been developed and refined. The course assessment process and the resulting written documentation provide an essential link between a program curriculum and its constituent courses. The plan's process, content, and an example outcome are the major focus of this paper.

The main ingredients of QFT are formed by the Walsh–Hadamard transform H and phase shifts P(·), both of which are 2×2 unitary matrices as operators on the two-dimensional 1-qubit space. In this paper, we show that H and P(·) suffice to generate the unitary group U(2) and, consequently, through controlled-U operations and their concatenations, the entire unitary group U(2n) on n qubits can be generated. Since any quantum computing algorithm in an n-qubit quantum computer is based on operations by matrices in U(2n), in this sense we have the universality of the QFT.

The Vitreloy-1 specimens exhibited elastic response followed by catastrophic fracture along a narrow shear band. The ultimate strength of the specimens varied between 1800 and 2200 MPa irrespective of the strain rate and independent of the aspect ratio of the specimens. The quasistatically deformed specimens fractured into two or three large fragments. The fracture surfaces were relatively smooth and revealed well developed and uniformly distributed veinal pattern. The dynamically loaded specimens, on the other hand, fractured into several fragments with relatively rough fracture surfaces containing nonuniformly distributed and partially developed veinal patterns. Evidence of melting in the form of ‘liquid bubbles’ was also observed along the cracks on the fracture surfaces of the specimens subjected to high strain-rate loading. A comparison of the mechanical response of Vitreloy-1 with other bulk metallic glass systems is also presented.

Water activity, total moisture (%), lipid oxidation (TBARS@450nm), and protein solubility were evaluated. TBARS @450nm was favored at 49°C, but not at 25°C except at high aw range (p < 0.05), whereas protein solubility was greater at 25°C than 49°C (p < 0.05). TBARS@450nm values at 49°C were generally greatest at low aw range (p > 0.05). Protein solubility was lowest at medium aw at 49°C (p < 0.05), while at 25°C low aw protected protein solubility better than other low or high aw values.

Hence, structuring social situations that prompt people to keep their self-enhancing beliefs in check can confer personal and interpersonal advantages. The authors examined whether accountability can serve this purpose. Accountability was defined as the expectation to explain, justify, and defend one's self-evaluations (grades on an essay) to another person ("audience"). Experiment 1 showed that accountability curtails self-enhancement. Experiment 2 ruled out audience concreteness and status as explanations for this effect. Experiment 3 demonstrated that acconntability-induced self-enhancement reduction is due to identifiability. Experiment 4 documented that identifiability decreases self-enhancement because of evaluation expectancy and an accompanying focus on one's weaknesses.

Heart rate (HR), core temperature (Tc), activity level (ACT), and evaporative water loss (EWL) responses in telemetry-implanted rats (n=9) in the heat were compared to responses at room temperature (23°C, 90 min). Both at room temperature and in the heat, Tc changed significantly across time and was significantly higher in the heat. At room temperature, HR was not different between estrus stages or across time while in the heat HR changed significantly across time. ACT declined for 20 min and then remained similar among groups for the duration of the exposure. EWL was greater in the heat than at room temperature although during both exposures EWL did not change significantly across time or between stages. These results indicate that in rats the reproductive stage does not affect their response to short-term environmental stimuli.

A longshore-uniform fine-sand beach, 35 m alongshore, 20 m cross-shore, and 25 cm thick was placed in the facility for these experiments. Two unidirectional, long-crested irregular wave conditions were examined, one resulted in predominantly spilling breakers and one in plunging breakers. Waves and currents, and sediment concentrations were measured at 20 and 16 Hz, respectively, at various longshore and cross-shore locations and throughout the water column. Both currents and sediment concentrations exhibit great temporal and spatial variations in the surf zone. The variation patterns, however, of the longshore current, cross-shore current, and sediment concentration are substantially different. Caution should be exercised when averaging these parameters over time and space.For the two wave cases examined, the temporal variations of longshore current, including those at principal incident-wave frequencies, were relatively small across most of the surf zone. Over 70% of the variations are within approximately ±60% of the mean value. The wave motion, with a strong peak at principal incident-wave frequencies, dominated the temporal variations of cross-shore current. Temporal variations of suspended sediment concentration under the irregular waves were episodic, characterized by occasional large values induced by suspension events or due to horizontal advection. The variance of the concentration at the peak incident-wave frequency was not significant except very near the bed.Time-averaged longshore-current profiles over the predominantly rippled sand bed were logarithmic in shape below the wave trough. Depth-averaged longshore current (excluding the portion of water column above wave trough) matched well with the current measured at an elevation of 1/3 of the water depth from the bed. Time-averaged cross-shore current profiles were characterized by an onshore mass flux near the surface, and a balancing offshore flow below the wave-trough level (undertow). Sediment concentration decreased very rapidly upward through the water column across most of the surf zone except at the plunging breaker line where relatively homogeneous concentration was measured throughout much of the water column above 4 cm from the bed. Depth-averaged sediment concentration over the range from 1 cm above the bed to the bottom of wave trough roughly equaled the concentration measured at an elevation from the bed equal to 20% of the still-water depth.A reasonable estimate of the time-averaged longshore sediment flux was obtained from the product of time-averaged profiles of longshore current and sediment concentration. Accurate estimates of time-averaged cross-shore sediment flux, however, could not be obtained from the product of time-averaged current and concentration.

Because breakup ice jams and related flooding occur suddenly, ice jam prediction methods are desirable to provide early warning and to allow rapid, effective ice jam mitigation. Unlike open-water flooding, however, an analytical description of all the complex physical processes involved is not available. As a result, breakup ice jam prediction models have historically been limited to classical empirical single-variable threshold-type analyses to statistical methods such as logistic regression and discriminant function analysis. A neural network is shown to improve the error rates of ice jam prediction at Oil City, PA. The neural network input vector is determined and the methods used to appropriately account for the relatively low occurrence of jams are addressed. The neural network prediction proves to be more accurate than the current method used at this site, with a false positive error rate of 5.9% and a false negative error rate of 7.4%.

The results showed that, using AMMA binder, both graphite and LiMn2O4 could be cycled well in 1 m LiPF6 3:3:4 (weight) PC/EC/EMC electrolyte with less capacity fading. AMMA is chemically more stable than poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) against the lithiated graphite. More importantly, AMMA can help graphite to form a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. An impedance study showed that the SEI film formed with AMMA is more stable than the one formed with PVDF. Therefore, self-delithiation of the lithiated graphite can be reduced by use of AMMA instead of PVDF, which improves the storage performance of Li-ion batteries.

Practical resolution requires “simple solutions” that are technically feasible, economically sustainable and politically implementable. Here we show an approach to achieve simple solutions to these problems. The approach was derived and tested in two experiments: first to develop verification measures for the Chemical Weapons Convention and subsequently to develop response concepts for biological terrorism. The approach's validity derives from its close relationship to the scientific method in objectively testing results, and its power is achieved by focusing a team of people directly on the problem of interest in the setting of a learning organization. The approach appears to provide access at will of the full human potential to resolve wicked problems and, thereby, yields a general problem solving tool of substantial power.

To investigate the effects of age and feedback on submaximal isometric force control abilities in the knee extensors.Design. Analysis of a force control task in a quasi-experimental design.Background. The ability to control submaximal strength is important to accomplish activities of daily living. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of age, feedback, and force level on force control ability in knee extension, which is often used to accomplish daily activities.Methods. The performance of an isometric force control task was measured in young (mean age 26, SD 2.7 yrs) and older (mean age 72, SD 2.0 yrs) adult healthy male participants. Each participant maintained a steady force in knee extension at two levels of force (20% and 60% MVC) with and without visual bandwidth feedback. Age, force level, and feedback effects were examined on the dependent variables of force variability, bias, and time in bandwidth.Results. Both groups were fairly accurate at accomplishing the task, particularly at the lower force level. The higher force was harder to control, particularly when feedback was absent. The absence of feedback did not affect variability during force control. Older adults performed with less variability and a higher safety margin. Both groups performed better in time spent in bandwidth and safety margin with visual feedback, compared to the no-feedback condition.Conclusions. Healthy older and younger adults performed quite similarly regardless of feedback being provided or not. The intermittent feedback condition may have been more closely aligned with a no feedback condition rather than a continuous feedback condition.RelevanceClinical evaluation of submaximal force control ability may be useful for delineating impairments in motor skill and measuring outcomes of intervention programs. To be useful in the clinic, force control assessments must be both sensitive and specific to underlying impairments. The current study investigated the normal range of force control variability to allow the detection of true impairments.

Anesthetized rats received either a 20% total body surface area (TBSA) full thickness scald or a sham burn. After a 5 h recovery period, half of the animals in the burn or sham burn groups were exposed to cooled western bark (fir and pine) smoke for 16.25 min. The remaining rats in each group breathed room air. At 1, 12, 24, 48 and 96 h after exposure to the smoke, five rats from each of the four groups were euthanatized and lungs were lavaged by infusing three 5 ml aliquots of normal saline for evaluation of airway cellular content and lung wet to dry weight ratios to estimate lung water content. A second series of five rats/group per time point were euthanatized at the above times and lung, liver, kidney and heart were removed for evaluation of tissue antioxidant enzyme activities and for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentrations, as well as for lung histology. Smoke exposure resulted in average plasma carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) of 19±2% in the two smoke exposed groups and produced areas of erosion of the tracheal surface, resulting in loss of epithelium and exposed basement membrane. Lung water content was not significantly different among the four groups during the 96-h experimental period. Lung TBARS levels were 2–3-fold higher at 12 h in smoke exposed rats compared with controls. These levels peaked at 24 h and remained significantly elevated at 48 h compared to controls. TBARS were also elevated in liver, but not in heart or kidney in response to burn or combined injury. Minor effects on lung antioxidant enzyme activities were observed after smoke inhalation. These data suggest that smoke inhalation, independent of burn injury, induces an oxidant stress that persists for at least the first 48 h after smoke exposure.

The observed leaf damage to H. verticillata stems was highly correlated with the total number of immature H. pakistanae in H. verticillata tissue at the time of harvest (P<0.001, R2>0.80). Increasing levels of insect herbivory significantly impacted biomass and growth morphology of H. verticillata. Relative to control tanks, plants under intermediate or high levels of herbivory produced progressively less biomass. Insect herbivory also significantly impacted investment of energy in sexual and asexual reproduction. Plants under an intermediate or high level of herbivory produced fewer than 15% of the number of pistillate flowers produced by plants in control tanks. Furthermore, plants subject to high insect herbivory produced fewer and smaller tubers than control tanks. Finally, herbivory had a strong impact on the photosynthetic potential of stems. With 10–30% leaf damage, the maximum rate of light-saturated photosynthesis was reduced 30–40% relative to undamaged controls. Total daily photosynthetic production in these stems was estimated to balance, just barely, the daily respiratory needs of stems. Photosynthetic rate was reduced by about 60% in stems showing 70–90% leaf damage. This level of photosynthetic reduction would make continued survival of the plants unlikely since they would be unable to meet daily respiratory demands.

The domain content is determined using a knowledge-based program understanding system. The metric's examination of the domain content of a class provides a more direct mapping between the metric and common human complexity analysis than is possible with traditional complexity measures based on syntactic aspects (software aspects related to the format of the code). Additionally, this metric represents a true design metric that can measure complexity early in the life cycles of software maintenance and software development. The SCDE metric is correlated with analyses from a human expert team, and is also compared to syntactic complexity measures.

GHC algorithms include as special cases stochastic local search algorithms such as simulated annealing and the noising method, among others. In this paper, a proof of convergence of GHC algorithms is presented, that relaxes the sufficient conditions for the most general convergence proof for stochastic local search algorithms in the literature. Note that classical convergence proofs for stochastic local search algorithms require either that an exponential distribution be used to model the acceptance of candidate solutions along a search trajectory, or that the Markov chain model of the algorithm must be reversible. The proof in this paper removes these limitations, by introducing a new path concept between global and local optima. Convergence is based on the asymptotic behavior of path probabilities between local and global optima. Examples are given to illustrate the convergence conditions. Implications of this result are also discussed.

Performance of oxygen reduction in heat-treated metalloporphyrins was evaluated by means of a rotating disk electrode in acid electrolyte with and without methanol. HT-FeTPP/CoTPP is the best catalyst for oxygen reduction. An oxygen reduction mechanism for the heat-treated binary metalloporphyrins is also proposed. The Pt–Ru alloy with an atomic ratio of 50:50 gives the best performance at higher over-potential and high current regions while an atomic ratio of 65:35 shows the best performance at the low over-potential and low current regions. A high surface area of Pt–Ru–Os anode catalyst is synthesized. A single MEA (membrane electrode assembly) methanol fuel cell performance for ARL''s Pt–Ru–Os anode shows a very superior performance when compared to a commercial Pt–Ru anode.

Both the formation of the metal–glycine complex and subsequent decomposition of the same at low temperatures under carefully controlled oxygen flow play a critical role in the formation of nanocrystalline material. The thermal history of the as-prepared gel is established by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirm the formation of layered α-NaFeO2 structure at temperature as low as 330 °C. The exothermic combustion reaction of the organic precursors, which generates high temperature, should be avoided as it results in the spontaneous growth of large crystals. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigation reveals that the particle size of LiCo0.7Ni0.3O2 heated at 400 °C is in the range of 10–15 nm. Substitution of nickel retards the crystal growth. Solid state 6Li-Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR investigation reveals that the micro-structural short range ordering of nickel ions in LiCo1−xNixO2 (0≤x≤0.3) is minimum at lower processing temperatures. 6Li-MAS NMR studies show that considerable amount of short range ordering of nickel ions is observed when the calcination temperature is raised beyond 800 °C indicating that the upper limit for processing temperature is around 750 °C. These materials were fabricated into thin electrodes using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as polymer binder and the electrochemical properties such as charge/discharge and impedance were evaluated.

Thermal pyrolysis covered a temperature range from 800 to 1300 °C in 100 degree increments. Non-ablative laser pyrolysis was conducted using a continuous wave (cw) argon ion laser at 363.6 nm. The results from the UV-laser pyrolysis show that the principal gaseous products evolved are CO, CO2, C2H2, H2NNH2, CH4 and HCN. The only gaseous products observed in the thermal pyrolysis study are CO and CO2. While the amount of carbon dioxide evolved was relatively constant, the concentration of carbon monoxide increased with temperature. These results help provide essential information for the analysis of the chemical properties of the commercial polyimide Kapton® and a better understanding of this carbonization process.

The effects of these two preparations on the capacity of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) to stimulate the production of cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ) and chemokines (MIP-1α, MIP-1β and MCP-1) by peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) was tested. We also evaluated their effect on LPS-stimulated NF-κB transcriptional activity in a THP-1 cell line, and on human monocyte chemotactic response to chemoattractants. Non-cytotoxic concentrations of QKL (0.1~2%) and SHHL (6~120 μg) significantly inhibited production of cytokines and chemokines in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Both, QKL at 1:100 and SHHL at 60 μg/ml, markedly inhibited RANTES, MIP-1α, SDF-1α and fMLP induced human monocyte migration (P < 0.05 or 0.01). QKL (1%) did not inhibit monocyte chemotaxis induced by super-or sub-optimal concentrations of fMLP (10-5, 10-6 and 10-10 M), but only inhibited chemotaxis induced by optimal concentrations of fMLP at 10-7, 10-8 and 10-9 M. QKL (0.1% or 1%) and SHHL(6 or 60 μg/ml) markedly inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB activity in THP-1 cells. The results suggested that the pharmacological basis for the antiinflammatory effects of QKL and SHHL is the result of suppression of NF-κB regulated gene transcription, leading to suppressed production of proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine. Interference with leukocyte chemotaxis also contributes to the antiinflammatory and immunomodulating effects of these medicinals. Identification of the responsible components in these two herbal preparations may yield compounds suitable for structural modification into potent novel drugs.

The inadequate disposal practices for TCE have created numerous TCE-contaminated superfund sites. The most commonly employed practice for remediating TCE-contaminated sites is to purge the contaminant from the source and trap it onto an adsorbent which is disposed of in a landfill or by incineration. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of Burkholderia cepacia strain G4 (G4) to regenerate used sorbents by degrading TCE from the sorbent directly or indirectly. The results of this investigation showed that G4 was capable of reducing TCE attached to PM-100 clay but at significantly reduced rate due to the slow desorption rate. Conversely, it was shown that G4 was capable of degrading TCE dissolved in n-hexadecane at the same rate as systems without n-hexadecane present. The reduction in TCE degradation when the TCE is attached to the PM-100 clay could be overcome by solvent rinsing the TCE from the clay with subsequent removal of the TCE from the n-hexadecane by G4.

T1 - Reduction of suspended solids following hydroclassification of metal-contaminated soils JO - Journal of Hazardous Materials JF - Journal of Hazardous Materials Y1 - 2002/05/03/ VL - 92 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 63 SN - 03043894 AB - Remediation of metals-contaminated soil typically uses solidification/stabilization and “dig and haul”. Soil washing and physical separation have been applied to a much lesser extent to reduce soil volumes requiring aggressive treatment and to improve performance of follow-up treatments. In earlier work [J. Hazard. Mater. 66 (1999) 15], we used a simple, vertical-column hydroclassifier, to separate four soils contaminated with heavy metals, defining a “best case” performance for larger-scale (minerals processing) equipment. Such processes, using water-based slurries, generate substantial volumes of water with suspended solids. These typically contain disproportionately high concentrations of heavy metals. Here, we performed an initial screening of settling, coagulation, and centrifugation for reducing suspended solids, and thus suspended metals from soil slurries following processing. The four soils, previously hydroclassified, were sieved to <600 μm, slurried with a 4:1 weight ratio of water, and allowed to settle. Slurry samples were collected at settling times of 0, 0.0833, 1, 5, and 22–24 h. Coagulant (alum) addition and centrifugation were investigated. The slurries were filtered, digested, and analyzed by atomic absorption for lead and chromium content. Two soil slurries clarified in <5 min. In all four cases, 90% of solids and metals settled within 5 h. However, completion may require up to 24 h, or other intervention, i.e. coagulants. The metal concentration in the residual suspended solids increased with settling time, implying an enrichment of metals in finer, suspended particles. Metals dissolved in the slurry water ranged from 3 to 5 mg/l for chromium and lead. This screening study provides guidance for water treatment requirements and treatability studies for the integration of hydroclassification and solids removal.

The plasmid encodes a type III secretion system that functions to translocate Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the host cytosol. Within the host cell, the Yops act to inhibit phagocytosis and induce apoptosis. One of the plasmid-encoded proteins, virulence antigen (V), is a major protective immunogen that is involved in Yop translocation. Yersinia pestis, like the entericYersinia sppwas both resistant to phagocytosis by and cytotoxic for J774.A1, a murine macrophage cell line. Both of these activities were dependent on culture of the bacteria at 37°C for 1.5–2 h before infection. However, extending the preculture period at 37°C to 24 h, which induced formation of a capsule, completely blocked cytotoxicity. Treating the bacteria with either rabbit polyclonal anti-V antibodies (R anti-V) or monoclonal antibody (MAb) 7.3, antibodies specific for V and protective against plague in vivo, protected J774.A1 cells from Y. pestis -induced cell death and also reversed the inhibition of phagocytosis. Whereas protection against cell cytotoxicity was afforded by the F(ab′)2 portion of R anti-V, the ability of anti-V to induce uptake of Y. pestis appeared to be dependent on the Fc portion of the Ab. The protective epitope(s) recognized by R anti-V was contained in the central region of Y. pestis V (aa 135–275) and were partially cross reactive with Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica serotype 08 V antigens.

The results show that solvent ratio has negligible impact on the performance of both electrodes but does affect the issues of thermal compatibility and ionic conductivity. Salt concentration affects the performance in two reverse ways: LiMn2O4 cathode requires low concentration, while graphite anode requires high concentration. It is observed that, during the first cycle, both electrodes produce irreversible capacity and form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on their surface. From the view point of operation at low temperatures, 1 M LiPF6 3:7 EC–EMC is recommended for Li-ion cells.

The generation of the face gear is based on application of a grinding or cutting worm whereas the conventional method of generation is based on application of an involute shaper. The authors have developed an analytical approach for determination of: (i) the worm thread surface, (ii) avoidance of singularities of the worm thread surface, (iii) dressing of the worm, and (iv) determination of stresses of the face-gear drive. A computer program is developed for simulation of meshing and contact of the pinion and face gear. Correction of machine-tool settings is proposed for reduction of the shift of the bearing contact caused by misalignment. An automatic development of the model of five contacting teeth has been proposed for stress analysis. Numerical examples for illustration of the developed theory are provided.

A multi-class model for aggregation processes is combined with a one-dimensional, unsteady, multi-class sediment transport model to calculate the deposition rate for two flume experiments—one with no recirculation of a medium-cohesion sediment, and the other in which a high-cohesion sediment was recirculated by pumping. The results show that while aggregation processes had a moderate effect on the rate of deposition of medium-cohesion sediment, they dominated high-cohesion sediment deposition. The results also suggest that multi-class fine sediment aggregation-plus-deposition calculations will produce more realistic results than single-class calculations in estuaries where sediment exhibits a high degree of cohesion and variability in flow-induced shearing.

SWB showed a more rapid increase in firmness during storage mainly due to the loss of moisture to the crust and surrounding environment. The MRE, a long shelf-life military bread, firmed much slower due to the moisture loss inhibition (hermetic pouch) and plasticization (by formulation). This work confirmed previous findings that in some cases, firming of a bread can be strongly influenced by factors other than amylopectin crystallization. This is possible through controlling changes in the amorphous domains earlier described from thermomechanical studies.

Lett. 162 (1998) 227–233]. However, the contributions of tetrapyrrole porphyrin ring in these hemin–iron sources as well as inorganic iron for the growth of this organism have not been determined. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of porphyrins, host iron-binding proteins, and various inorganic iron sources on the growth of hemin–iron depleted P. intermedia. Protoporphyrin IX and protoporphyrin IX-zinc, either in the presence or absence of supplemented ferrous or ferric iron, promoted the growth of P. intermedia at a rate that was comparable to that of the hemin control. On the other hand, neither the host iron proteins, transferrin and lactoferrin, nor the inorganic iron sources which included ferrous chloride, ferric chloride, ferric citrate, ferric nitrate, and ferric ammonium citrate at concentrations up to 200 μM stimulated the growth of hemin–iron-restricted P. intermedia. The results suggest that P. intermedia only use iron in a specific form and that the porphyrin-ring structure is essential for the growth of P. intermedia as in the case of other related organisms.

The two sets of equations of motion exhibit substantial differences in their dependence on the index of refraction of the host dielectric medium. We compare and contrast the essential conceptual features of the macroscopic and microscopic theories, relating the inconsistency of the results to differences in the underlying Maxwellian and Lorentzian descriptions of the interaction of the radiation with the vacuum and matter. We invoke the correspondence principle to discriminate between the two results and demonstrate that quantization of the macroscopic Maxwell equations leads to incorrect equations of motion for embedded two-level atoms while the microscopic result is consistent with the correspondence principle.

The study setting was a cluster sample from 24 community pharmacies based on prescription records that suggested need for pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. Vaccination status, choice of vaccine provider, and opinions regarding vaccine providers were retrospectively surveyed by mail in spring 1999. Overall, 52% of survey recipients responded; 89% of respondents reported returning to the same type of vaccine provider in consecutive years. Two key factors affected choice of provider: convenience and provider experience. Convenience was a stronger factor for people younger than 65 taking chronic medications and those not vaccinated in the previous year. Most adult recipients of influenza vaccine returned to sites where they were vaccinated the previous year. Convenience was a major factor in vaccination decisions of adult prescription recipients.

Corona charging is suitable for charging monopolymer fiber or fiber blend, or fabrics. Tribocharging is only appropriate for charging fibers with dissimilar electronegativity. Electrostatic fiber spinning combines the charging of polymer and the spinning of the fibers as a one-step process. It was observed that two dissimilar fibers following tribocharging had higher filtration efficiency than the corona-charged polypropylene fibers. An electrostatic spinning process produced nanofibers exhibiting extremely high efficiency by mechanical filtration mechanisms. Little charge was retained in electrospun polyethylene oxide fibers; however, polycarbonate and polyurethane retained a great amount of charge.

Many studies have been performed on different types of armor layers, but there is no generalized design guidance available on CORE-LOC® armor layer performance with respect to wave runup and transmission. An experimental study was performed to investigate the runup and transmission response of a CORE-LOC® armor layer. Wave runup and transmitted wave heights were measured for a wide range of wave, water level, and structure conditions in order to develop predictive tools for CORE-LOC® layer response. A new empirical model to predict runup levels was developed based on an existing model for rock revetments. Further, an analysis of transmission data was conducted to give insight and guidance for design purposes. Reflection coefficients were also analyzed.

T1 - Artificial Protein Cavities as Specific Ligand-binding Templates: Characterization of an Engineered Heterocyclic Cation-binding Site that Preserves the Evolved Specificity of the Parent Protein JO - Journal of Molecular Biology JF - Journal of Molecular Biology Y1 - 2002/01/25/ VL - 315 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 845 SN - 00222836 AB - Cavity complementation has been observed in many proteins, where an appropriate small molecule binds to a cavity-forming mutant. Here, the binding of compounds to the W191G cavity mutant of cytochrome c peroxidase is characterized by X-ray crystallography and binding thermodynamics. Unlike cavities created by removal of hydrophobic side-chains, the W191G cavity does not bind neutral or hydrophobic compounds, but displays a strong specificity for heterocyclic cations, consistent with the role of the protein to stabilize a tryptophan radical at this site. Ligand dissociation constants for the protonated cationic state ranged from 6 μM for 2-amino-5-methylthiazole to 1 mM for neutral ligands, and binding was associated with a large enthalpy-entropy compensation. X-ray structures show that each of 18 compounds with binding behavior bind specifically within the artificial cavity and not elsewhere in the protein. The compounds make multiple hydrogen bonds to the cavity walls using a subset of the interactions seen between the protein and solvent in the absence of ligand. For all ligands, every atom that is capable of making a hydrogen bond does so with either protein or solvent. The most often seen interaction is to Asp235, and most compounds bind with a specific orientation that is defined by their ability to interact with this residue. Four of the ligands do not have conventional hydrogen bonding atoms, but were nevertheless observed to orient their most polar CH bond towards Asp235. Two of the larger ligands induce disorder in a surface loop between Pro190 and Asn195 that has been identified as a mobile gate to cavity access. Despite the predominance of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, the small variation in observed binding free energies were not correlated readily with the strength, type or number of hydrogen bonds or with calculated electrostatic energies alone. Thus, as with naturally occurring binding sites, affinities to W191G are likely to be due to a subtle balance of polar, non-polar, and solvation terms. These studies demonstrate how cavity complementation and judicious choice of site can be used to produce a protein template with an unusual ligand-binding specificity.

The performance is evaluated in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio gain at the filter''s output. It is shown that, for multiple sinusoids, this gain is not only a function of the filter length, but also of three additional factors — the number of sinusoids, the noise power, and the amplitude of each sinusoid. Simulation results for a dual noisy sinusoidal input are presented to illustrate the validity of this analysis.

JO - Journal of Investigative Dermatology JF - Journal of Investigative Dermatology Y1 - 2001/12// VL - 117 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1566 EP - 1573 SN - 0022202X AB - Sulfur mustard is cytotoxic to dermal fibroblasts as well as epidermal keratinocytes. We demonstrated that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) modulates Fas-mediated apoptosis, and other groups and we have shown that PARP plays a role in the modulation of other types of apoptotic and necrotic cell death. We have now utilized primary dermal fibroblasts, immortalized fibroblasts, and keratinocytes derived from PARP–/– mice and their wildtype littermates (PARP+/+) to determine the contribution of PARP to sulfur mustard toxicity. Following sulfur mustard exposure, primary skin fibroblasts from PARP-deficient mice demonstrated increased internucleosomal DNA cleavage, caspase-3 processing and activity, and annexin V positivity, compared to those derived from PARP+/+ animals. Conversely, propidium iodide staining, PARP cleavage patterns, and random DNA fragmentation revealed a dose-dependent increase in necrosis in PARP+/+ but not PARP–/– cells. Using immortalized PARP–/– fibroblasts stably transfected with the human PARP cDNA or with empty vector alone, we show that PARP inhibits markers of apoptosis in these cells as well. Finally, primary keratinocytes were derived from newborn PARP+/+ and PARP–/– mice and immortalized with the E6 and E7 genes of human papilloma virus. In contrast to fibroblasts, keratinocytes from both PARP–/– and PARP+/+ mice express markers of apoptosis in response to sulfur mustard exposure. The effects of PARP on the mode of cell death in different skin cell types may determine the severity of vesication in vivo, and thus have implications for the design of PARP inhibitors to reduce sulfur mustard pathology.

To this end, the present inquiry examines the stability of various university performance indicators representing size, student aptitude, faculty scholarship, graduate programs, and ratings. Although these various institutional attributes are associated with status, changes in their characteristics are not found to be associated with changes in status. Instead, institutional status is found to be quite stable over time, largely predicated on past status levels. These findings offer a forum within which to discuss university status for the purpose of managing institutional change.

We also discuss how a capstone can be used to effectively develop those non-technical skills and close competency gaps identified by industry. Lastly, we present a life cycle framework for conducting capstones that we feel is important for ensuring a meaningful experience.

Contaminated dredged material with a variety of organic chemicals, obtained from Indiana Harbor Canal, was used in the study. It was placed in an outdoor CDF simulator (i.e., a lysimeter of dimensions 4 ft x 4 ft x 2 ft). A portable, dynamic flux chamber was used to periodically measure emissions of various polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A weather station was set up to monitor and record the meteorological conditions during the experiment. The fluxes of several PAHs were monitored over time for 6 1/2 months. Initial 6-hr average fluxes varied from 2 to 20 ng/cm²/hr for six different PAHs. The flux values declined rapidly for all compounds soon after placement of the dredged material in the CDF. Chemical concentrations derived from flux values were generally of low magnitude compared with ambient standards. Data obtained from the experiment were compared against those predicted using models for air emissions. Model simulations showed that initially the flux was largely from exposed pore water from saturated (wet) sediment, whereas the long-term flux was controlled by diffusion through the pore air of the unsaturated sediment. Model predictions generally overestimated the measured emissions. A rainfall event was simulated, and the dredged material was reworked to simulate that typical of a CDF operation. Increased flux was observed upon reworking the dredged material.

Historically, engineering educators have spent significant time applying mathematical techniques to analyze these models. Decades ago, the slide rule and electronic calculator transformed the way basic mathematical operations were performed. Today, the digital computer is similarly impacting the way more complex analytical techniques are applied. Specifically, mathematical software packages are introducing revolutionary changes to engineering problem solving and design. This paper considers the appropriate role of mathematical assistant software packages in engineering education. Recommendations to properly focus teaching effort within the classroom are provided.

JO - Symbolic Interaction JF - Symbolic Interaction Y1 - 2000/06// VL - 23 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 207 EP - 210 SN - 01956086 AB - This article comments on the literature Hard Jobs and Good Ambition: U.S. Army Generals and the Rhetoric of Modesty. According to the author, the article provides a psychological insight into an exceptional experience, the army elite in an institutional context. He added that the article furthers the theme of the internalization of rhetoric. The thesis is straightforward. It was discussed that the rhetoric of modesty is an occupational habit by design that manages the conflict between an institutional military ethos code of selfless service and the value on individualism commingled with a strong work ethic resulting in general army officer career success. The late Louis A. Zurcher, Jr., once president of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction and captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve, would likely have reviewed Hard Jobs and Good Ambition with great enthusiasm. Zurcher was intrigued by rare and inaccessible social roles, and he used military populations liberally in his work. Symbolic interactions have been criticized for their preoccupation with small scale social units of analysis. The criticism is easy enough, the primary methods of analysis are participant and unobtrusive observations better lent to micro-level social processes.

Along with the intellectual challenge, scientists may appreciate the technical insight there, especially about security, ethical honesty, and common computing interests. Attendees in hacker conferences range from respected tribal elders to immature hangers-on. The majority are genuine computer experts from highly technical computing disciplines. The hackers are largely self- and peer-taught. But one should not assume that just because no computer science diplomas hang on their walls--though many do--they are not worth engaging. In many ways their expertise and problem solving exceeds their counterparts in the research laboratories and classrooms. Hacker conferences teach respect for interdisciplinary backgrounds and diversity within the computing disciplines. Hackers' passionate pursuit of technical excellence and lifetime learning, as well as their adventuresome exploration and enjoyment of technology, are to be emulated.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2000/02// VL - 19 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 360 EP - 367 SN - 07307268 AB - In regulatory evaluations of contaminated sediments, an equilibrium partitioning-based screening test called theoretical bioaccumulation potential (TBP) is often performed to estimate the probable concentrations of neutral organic contaminants that would eventually accumulate in aquatic organisms from continuous exposure to a sediment. The TBP is calculated from contaminant concentration and organic carbon content of the sediment, lipid content of target organisms, and a partition coefficient, usually the biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF). However, routine applications of TBP have not included analysis of uncertainty. This paper demonstrates two methods for uncertainty analysis of TBP: a computational method that incorporates random and systematic error and a simulation method using bootstrap resampling of replicated model input parameters to calculate statistical uncertainty measures. For prediction of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bioaccumulation in bivalves exposed to contaminated sediments, uncertainty as a factor of TBP ranged from 1.2 to 4.8 using the computational method and 0.5 to 1.9 based on bootstrap 95% confidence intervals. Sensitivity analysis indicated that BSAF parameters, especially tissue contaminant concentration and lipid content, contributed most to TBP uncertainty. In bootstrap tests of significance, TBP significantly over- or underestimated actual PAH bioaccumulation in bivalves in 41% and 10% of comparisons, respectively.

A large number of noninvasive modalities have been evaluated including the use of vital dyes, indocyanine green dye fluorescence, fluorescein fluorometry, laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), thermography, ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, and spectral analysis of light reflectance. Due to various limiting factors, none of these technologies has greatly improved the clinician's ability to assess tissue viability beyond simple observation. Biopsy and histopathology remain the gold standard for tissue evaluation. Histologic assessment is invasive and has a slow turn-around time, even when frozen section techniques are utilized. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) and optical coherence tomography/optical Doppler tomography (OCT/ODT) devices have recently been developed that have the potential to assess traumatic injury noninvasively at the bedside in a real-time mode. The technology is analogous to ultrasound except that the images are created with echoes of light rather than sound. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography uses coherence gating to image tissue birefringence with a high degree of spatial resolution. Skin contains collagen, a weakly birefringent material. When collagen is subjected to temperatures between 56 and 65°C, the collagen denatures and loses its birefringence. When the polarization state of light reflects from various depths in a tissue, PS-OCT can determine depth based on condition of the collagen. The OCT/ODT technology has the ability to noninvasively image in vivo blood flow with high spatial resolution. Optical Doppler tomography essentially combines LDF with OCT to produce high-resolution tomographic images of static and moving constituents in biologic tissues. By using a Michelson interferometer with a low coherence light source, ODT can measure amplitude and frequency of the interference fringe intensity generated between the reference and target arm to form a combined structural and velocity image. Using skin in a rodent model, we compared the results of this instrument to standard histopathology and frozen section techniques. We compared four different histology staining techniques, H&E, Masson's trichrome, Movat's pentachrome, and nitroblue tetrazolium (a vital stain), to the PS-OCT and OCT/ODT device results. The OCT measurement contained less variability site-to-site when compared with standard histology techniques. We also found the PS-OCT technique provided an accurate assessment of wound depth when compared with 366 histology specimens ( r2 = 0.86). Further studies are planned with OCT/ODT technology in skin and other tissues. Preliminary work with this device in the airway, gastrointestinal tract, and muscle appears promising. Utilization of these combined noninvasive imaging technologies has the potential to improve assessment of traumatically- and thermally-injured patients in real time, thereby improving overall wound care.

Peristalsis is smooth muscle contraction that moves gas and food through the gastrointestinal tract. Normally a motor nerve impulse stimulates release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Neostigmine inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine, which then accumulates in the neuromuscular junction and hinds to nerve receptors. This prolongs and exaggerates its effects, increasing peristalsis and relaxing most bowel sphincters to aid bowel decompression.

The Reactive Monte Carlo simulation method was used to study a variety of non-ideal surroundings, including: reacting systems at extremely high temperature and pressure; reactions in carbon slit-pores and nanotubes; and reactions carried out in supercritical fluid solvents. The method is found to be a capable tool for assessing physical effects on reactions for such systems. Notably, the Reactive Monte Carlo method provides species concentration data, which are typically unavailable from experimental measurements of these systems. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Bacevich and Eliot A. Cohen, 'NATO's Air War for Kosovo,' by Benjamin S. Lambeth, and 'Why Milosevic Decided to Settle When He Did,' by Stephen T. Hosmer. The debate over a new approach to US and NATO military policy, one of precision bombing from beyond enemy reach, resulting from the war in Kosovo, forms the central theme of all three books. For Bacevich and Cohen, this new way of war stems from a collision between subtle strategic problems and an unsubtle strategic culture. Analysts in the 'War Over Kosovo' anthology see important problems with this model. For Benjamin Lambeth and Stephen Hosmer, air power was the most important factor in the concession of Yugoslav Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. The most persuasive evidence presented in Hosmer's book concerns Russia's eleventh-hour abandonment of Serbia. Among the most important questions raised by the precision bombing strategy is How effective is it against the mid-size rogue states such as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea? Whether the precision bombing strategy will persist in the face of experience remains to be seen.

The theoretical model is developed through solving self-consistently the Schrödinger equation for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues coupled with the Poisson equation for the confinement potentials, in which the effects such as charge distribution and depletion are considered. In particular, we examine the effect of a GaSb cap layer on electronic properties of the quantum well systems in conjunction with experiments and experimental findings. The results obtained from the proposed self-consistent calculation can be used to understand important experimental findings and are in line with those measured experimentally.

The high-resolution Fourier transform of the 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 PL of Er3+ near 1.5μm, site-selective PL and PL excitation measurements show that in MOCVD grown GaN only one type of Er-centers exists. This conclusion has been confirmed by ESR measurements. In ESR the axial Er3+ spectrum was observed with g || =2.861 and g ⊥ =7.645 characteristic for substitutional Er ions at Ga sites (C 3V symmetry). Angular dependence of the ESR did not point to the existence of other centers.

When he was in high school, he underwent bilateral open Bankart repairs for traumatic glenohumeral dislocations. He developed symptomatic left shoulder subluxations during summer military training and continued to have bilateral shoulder instability during the academic year. Results of his physical examination, radiographs, and a magnetic resonance imaging scan were discussed. After diagnosing, a revision reconstruction was suggested to the patient. The pectoralis major transfer was taken down during the exploration of the brachial plexus, and this seen to be the site of compression.

It mentions that heart blood, subclavian blood and vitreous humor specimens from 26 PCP-positive postmortem cases were analyzed to evaluate the distribution of PCP in vitreous humor. It mentions that the specimens were analyzed by solid-phase extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It declares that the results reveals that all positive blood specimens were associated with positive vitreous humor specimen, and on average, the blood PCP concentrations were greater than the vitreous humor PCP concentrations. It concludes that there were considerable variability between cases, which shows that the detection of PCP in postmortem cases' interpretative value is limited.

The presence of sevoflurane was confirmed using a headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The concentration of the heart blood sevoflurane was 16 mg/L, and the concentration of the peripheral blood sevoflurane was 8.0 mg/L. When the heart blood was examined, no other drugs or other volatile substances were confirmed. Moreover, cardiac arrhythmia due to sevoflurane toxicity was the cause of his death as ruled out by the examiner.

Findings suggest that in sociology specifically and science generally the trend is toward greater collaborative scholarship. At the turn of the twentieth century, better than 90 percent of the articles appearing in major periodicals in physics, biochemistry, biology, and chemistry were sole authored. Today, over 95 percent of such articles are collaboratively published. Disciplines affiliated with the social and mathematical sciences have experienced similar monotonic increases in collaborative activity, albeit, at a slower rate. A discussion of plausible explanations is offered for this observed growth in scientific collaboration.

Almost a century later, the mini-regional Great Plains Sociological Association, through its refereed publication, The Great Plains Sociologist (TGPS), maintains a variant of this tradition. We examine the first decade (1988-1997) of published articles (N=52) in TGPS with a focus on authorship, affiliations, editorship, and components of the earliest Chicago sociology and its diffusion to the University of North Dakota and the region through the work of John Morris Gillette. The results show that TGPS is uniquely a publication representing empirical studies, of homespun social issues, involving local samples, by sociologists and criminologists affiliated with a range of colleges and universities in and around the Dakotas and that a sociology of the Great Plains is emerging. Implications for the journal, state and mini-regional associations, and the discipline are discussed.

The authors conducted informal individual and group interviews with spouses, unit family support leaders, unit rear detachment personnel, garrison leaders, and local Army program and service providers. Respondents in the study were asked to indicate the level of distress caused by the following five items: missing the soldier, problems with communication, concerns about the soldier's safety, concerns about the soldier's living conditions, and uncertainty about the length of the deployment. The following sources of social support available to spouses during the deployment were examined: informal sources of support; concerned leadership; and family support groups. The findings suggest that prior life stress, lack of comfort in dealing with Army agencies, and poor post-alert unit climate for families was associated with increased deployment events.

Cell sizes were measured using an Olympus image analysis system and mechanical properties, including breaking stress and plateau stress values achieved during compression, were measured using an Instron. Breaking and plateau stresses were negatively dependent on mean cell size and positively dependent on density in pure corn samples but the form of the relationship was altered by the presence of additives in the extrudates.

The moisture-dependent transition at an extremely low temperature (-90°C to -50°C) was due to humectants added, while that at a higher temperature T1 was possibly due to ice melting and the polymer components. T1 increased from ≈ - 10°C at 29% moisture to ≈ 150°C as moisture decreased to 2%. This correlated with hardening of the sample. A moisture independent transition at ≈ 10-15°C by DMA was identified as a melting process of lipids (shortening). During storage, the magnitude of tan δ peak decreased but its peak temperature did not change. No evidence of any network could be observed by DMA throughout 3 yr storage.

The loss in acetyllysine in 6 days at those temperatures was 22, 54, and 79%, respectively. The degradation data more clearly fit a double exponential function (AeBX+ CeDX) than the first order function, AeBX. An estimate of the activation energy of 36 kcal/ mol and a Q10 of 5.5 was computed from second order rate constants for acetyllysine and glucose degradation. The increase in color followed zero order kinetics and indicated an activation energy of 44 kcal/mol for the presumed third phase of the Maillard reaction in the solid state.

Similar putrid spoilage occurred at both concentrations, although the microflora differed. Two of 10 isolates from fresh and spoiled GB, nonfluorescent pseudomonads, produced putrid aromas but only 4 volatile compounds in common when inoculated into sterile GB. A MoraxelIa isolate produced a pronounced estery, decayed vegetable odor while others produced a decayed straw, ammoniacal or sour aroma. Differences in spoilage aromas apparently were not characterized by individual compounds but rather by the concentration of sulfur compounds and their ratio to other compound classes. Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide were indexes of microbial spoilage.

The technique utilizes special stress field transformations to eliminate the complementary energy matrix inherent to hybrid formulations, thus simplifying the stiffness definition such that an explicit evaluation can be accomplished. The elimination of numerical integration and matrix inversion results in a substantial decrease in computational cost. The methodology is applied to derive explicit algebraic expressions for the Pian-Tong hexahedral element stiffness matrix.

The basic concept is to freeze a thin layer of sludge on a continuously moving fabric belt. Sludge is attached to the belt by a vacuum drum belt filter which also removes one-half of the water and thus reduces the amount of sludge to be frozen. Filter leaf tests were conducted to determine the operational parameters and approximate production rates of this concept. These tests show that freezing alum sludge in thin layers will separate out the water as ice crystals and transform the solids into the same type of granular material produced in natural freezing beds. The average production rate of frozen sludge was 6.5 kg/hr.m² at -20°C. The belt area needed for a 10,000-m³/day plant was estimated to be 48 m². This concept has been patented by the U.S. Patent Office.

An ideal soil such as kaolinite was often used, and testing was frequently restricted to an individual contaminant or a small group of contaminants. However, actual waste sites consist of soils that are usually quite different from kaolinite, and many sites are polluted by a large number of mixed contaminants. Therefore, this preliminary study was undertaken to assess electrokinetic performance on a sitespecific field soil and a simulated sludge mixture containing mixed wastes in the form of metals, Organic compounds, and radionuclides. Bench-scale experiments showed that the field soil had a high buffering capacity that resulted in high pH conditions throughout the soil, whereas the simulated sludge had a low buffering capacity that resulted in low pH conditions except near the cathode. The high pH conditions in the soil allowed the migration of anionic metallic contaminants, such as hexavalent chromium, but inhibited the migration of cationic metallic contaminants, such as cadmium. The low pH conditions in the sludge allowed simultaneous migration of both anionic and cationic contaminants in opposite directions, respectively, but the synergistic effects of co-contaminants retarded contaminant removal. The removal of organic compounds and radionuclides from both the soil and the sludge were achieved. However, additional research is warranted to systematically investigate the synergistic effects and the fate of different contaminants as well as to develop electrode-conditioning systems that enhance contaminant migration.

A hazardous waste minimization assessment was conducted recently at five military installations. Sources and types of waste somewhat varied among the installations. Major waste sources included motor pools and vehicle maintenance facilities; industrial maintenance and small arms shops; aviation maintenance facilities; paint shops; photography, arts and crafts shops; and hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. Typical waste streams included used engine oil, cleaning and degreasing solvents, paint thinners, antifreeze and coolants, batteries, inks, and pathological wastes. Source reduction, recycling, and treatment were considered as the three major modes of waste minimization. Through lifecycle cost analysis, feasible modes of waste minimization are presented.

Biernat, M. Manis, & T. E. Nelson, 1991) as it applies to sex- and race-based stereotyping of self and others in the military. U.S. Army officers attending a leadership training course made judgments of their own and their groupmates' leadership competence at 3 time points over a 9-week period. We examined the effects of officer sex and race on both subjective (rating) and objective/common-rule (ranking/Q-sort) evaluations. Stereotyping generally increased with time, and in accordance with the shifting standards model, pro-male judgment bias was more evident in rankings than in ratings, particularly for White targets. Self-judgments were also affected by sex-based shifting standards, particularly in workgroups containing a single ("solo") woman. Differential standard use on the basis of race was less apparent, a finding attributed to the Army's explicit invocation against the use of differential race-based standards.

This proposed tool enables the user to properly load aircraft according to the mission and user specifications, so that the minimum amount of time is required to seize all assigned objectives. The methodology is based on a hybrid approach in which the first portion is a mathematical model that provides the optimal manifest under "perfect conditions." This mathematical model is represented by a transportation network, and can be optimized using a transportation algorithm. The optimum solution from the mathematical model is input to a simulation model that introduces the inherent variability induced by wind conditions, drift, aircraft location and speed, and delays between jumper exit times. The simulation returns the expected, best, and worst arrival times to the assigned objectives. This hybrid approach allows a large problem to be solved efficiently with a great deal of time saving.

Some 26 million of the Russian Federation's 148 million citizens are not Russian, and an equal number of ethnic Russians live beyond the Russian Federation's borders. Herein lies a potentially explosive situation that directly affects U.S. strategic security concerns. This article attempts to evaluate the potential for ethnic conflict in Russia as both a cause and an effect of a potentially paralyzing shock to the Russian political system that would have far-reaching consequences for U.S. strategic interests. It is informed that the official policy of the U.S. towards Russia is to promote the orderly and peaceful transition from communist dictatorship to a pluralistic democracy with a market-oriented economic system. Ethnic conflict in the Caucasus, the Volga-Ural region, or elsewhere could precipitate a crisis leading to paralysis of the Russian political system. In the event of heightened ethnic tension within the Russian Federation, there is very little that the U.S. could do, apart from gently counseling peaceful resolution. Any higher profile action would likely generate a Russian nationalist backlash.

Despite the increasing role of women in the military, little is known regarding the association among military occupations, gender, and disability. The study presented here analyzed 41,750 disability cases to determine: (1) prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disability, (2) specific jobs associated with greater risk of musculoskeletal disability, and (3) association among gender, job-type, and disability. Results indicate: (1) back-related disorders represent the most prevalent sources of disability, (2) certain occupations were associated with higher disability risk, (3) women experienced higher overall, and musculoskeletal, disability risk, and (4) specific jobs were identified in which women experienced higher rates of musculoskeletal disability. These findings highlight the need to consider the interaction between workplace factors and gender on disability in the military work force.

JO - Human Factors JF - Human Factors Y1 - 1997/12// VL - 39 IS - 4 M3 - journal article SP - 651 EP - 658 SN - 00187208 AB - We measured the accuracy with which sounds heard over a binaural, end-fire array could be located when the angular separation of the array's two arms was varied. Each individual arm contained nine cardioid electret microphones, the responses of which were combined to produce a unidirectional, band-limited pattern of sensitivity. We assessed the desirable angular separation of these arms by measuring the accuracy with which listeners could point to the source of a target sound presented against high-level background noise. We employed array separations of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees, and signal-to-noise ratios of +5, -5, and -15 dB. Pointing accuracy was best for a separation of 60 degrees; this performance was indistinguishable from pointing during unaided listening conditions. In addition, the processing of the array was modeled to depict the information that was available for localization. The model indicates that highly directional binaural arrays can be expected to support accurate localization of sources of sound only near the axis of the array. Wider enhanced listening angles may be possible if the forward coverage of the sensor system is made less directional and more similar to that of human listeners.

Our algorithm takes an integrated approach: we simultaneously segment the brain in both modalities and register the slices. The algorithm does not attempt to remove the skull from the MR image, but rather uses “templates” constructed from PET images to locate the boundary between the brain and the surrounding tissue in the MR images. The PET templates are a sequence of estimates of the boundary of the brain in the PET images. For each of the templates, the registration algorithm aligns the MR and PET images by minimizing an energy function. The energy function is designed to implicitly model the relevant anatomical structure in the MR image. The template with the lowest energy after registration is the PET brain boundary. The alignment of this template in the MR image marks the MR brain boundary and gives the transformation between the two images. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The theory is used to construct an excitation waveform (an enhanced discrimination pulse) which maximizes the posterior odds in favor of one target over the other. It is shown that the enhanced discrimination pulse has its spectrum concentrated near the frequency where the difference in the impulse spectrum of the two targets reaches a maximum. Enhanced discrimination pulses are calculated using analytical models of thin cylindrical targets and experimental data collected from simplified aircraft models.

JO - Sociological Perspectives JF - Sociological Perspectives Y1 - 1988/04// VL - 31 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 190 EP - 212 SN - 07311214 AB - This study addresses two issues: (1) the impact of overeducation on the earnings of male workers in the United States, and (2) white-minority earnings differences among males. Given that educational attainment that earnings returns to education are not as great as might be expected. This topic is examined by including an overeducation variable in an earnings function. Regarding the second issue addressed in this article, little is actually known about white-minority differences because the bulk of such research compares whites and blacks. By including selected Hispanic groups in this analysis (Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Other Hispanic) we are able to assess white-minority earnings differences to a greater degree. Using data from a 5% sample of the 1980 census to estimates an earnings function, we find that overeducated workers earn less than either undereducated or adequately educated workers. Second, we find that there are substantial earnings differences between whites and minorities, and, also, between the five minority groups examined.

Isokinetic sampling is essential for those applications in which the analyte molecules are miscible in or otherwise associated with the mist droplets. Essentially, continuous isokinetic sampling is accomplished over a 30‐ to 60‐ft/s flue stream velocity range by a heated sampling probe through which a large sample (∼50 to 100 L/min) is pumped solely by the flue stream dynamic pressure and returned directly to the flue. The probe geometry and dimensions are configured to permit the probe pressure losses experienced by the sample stream to vary in proportion to the flue stream dynamic pressure, i.e., flue stream velocity, to maintain an isokinetic condition at the probe entrance. As the sample flows through the probe, it is heated, and the mist droplets are vaporized by the energy from the probe wall, which is maintained at 340 °F. Near the probe exit and prior to return of the sample stream to the flue, a second probe, located in the sample stream and operating independently of the heated sampling probe, extracts continuously a small fraction (∼1 to 2 percent) of the sample stream for further processing, if required, and subsequent analysis. Because the analyte molecules at the heated probe exit exist in gas phase, isokinetic sample extraction is not required for operation of the second probe. Efficient sample transport through the heated probe is attained by vaporization of the mist droplets and liquid phase altogether, which precludes the formation of absorbing wetted‐wall surfaces.

Chlorinated primary wastewater, water collected from the surface at various points downslope and runoff were analyzed by GC/MS using a purge and trap sampler. Results indicated that efficient removal of a number of volatile substances including chloroform and toluene can be achieved by this method of treatment. Loss of these substances was found to follow first order kinetics. The observed behavior is consistent with a volatilization process.

These are large real-time, automated systems with a requirement for high reliability. The SDS is a broad approach attacking problems arising in requirements generation, software design, coding, and testing. The approach is highly requirements oriented and has resulted in the formulation of structuring concepts, a requirements statement language, process design language, and support software to be used throughout the development cycle. This methodology represents a significant advance in software technology for the development of software for a class of systems such as BMD. The support software has been implemented and is undergoing evaluation.

Experiments involved infusion of model matrices with lipid suspensions consisting of milled, size-characterized sucrose in corn oil. The influences of pore size/particle size ratio and suspension concentration on the penetration of liquid and particles were determined. A mathematical model that allows prediction of future behavior was fitted to the test results. The model indicates that dry-weight particle penetration is strongly correlated with pore size and independent of initial particle concentration. Infusion of liquid plus particles was increased by raising porosity and lowering particle concentration.

The objective of this study is to narrow the focus to deal with content-specific work activities. Activity categories are differentiated in terms of (1) productive and supportive activities and (2) high and low situational structure. Extrinsic and intrinsic motivators and specific effort criteria are delineated. Differences in the configuration and strength of motivator -effort relationships as a function of the activity category classifications are demonstrated using two separate administration sessions in an Army work setting. The extrinsic motivator predicts better for the productive activities while the intrinsic motivator does better for the supportive activities. Motivator-effort relationships are stronger for low-structured than high-structured activities. Curvilinear as well as linear relationships exist for certain activities where structure may restrict maximum effort. Implications of the results for applied organizational development programs are discussed.

The tip of an endodontic file was positioned at the apical foramen of each canal in 117 extracted human teeth (213 canals) and in 56 teeth (92 canals) still within the alveolus of dried jaw specimens. Parallel radiographs were taken in a bucco-lingual plane of all teeth. The tip of the instrument appeared to be at the root surface (apical foramen) in 82 per cent of canals. There was no significant difference in results between the teeth radiographed in the alveolus of dried jaw specimens and extracted teeth when the radiographs were evaluated under a stereomicroscope.

We recently taught a software engineering class that incorporated many smaller exercises (requiring several hours). The class was successful: students were able to experiment with a broad set of ideas, and make interesting mistakes without jeopardizing the grades of their development team. This paper describes some tools and techniques we taught, and suggests how they might be incorporated into typical software engineering classes.

This paper examines three methods of creating fault-tolerant software systems, Recovery Block, N-Version Programming, and Consensus Recovery Block, and it presents reliability models for each. The models are used to show that one method, the Consensus Recovery Block, is more reliable than the other two. The results of an experiment used to validate the models are presented. It is demonstrated that, for highly reliable acceptance tests, the Consensus Recovery Block system gave the highest reliability. In all cases, the Consensus Recovery Block and Recovery Block systems were better than the N-Version Programming systems. A simple cost model that shows the relative costs of increasing software reliability using the three fault-tolerant methods is presented.

Incentive was reflected in pulse rate, respiration rate, and skin conductance level; tusk difficulty in pulse volume; and novelty in respiration rate and muscle tension. 2). Only when the effects of information load and practice could be held constant was there any sign of an inverted-U relationship between performance and physiological level. 3) Although both choice and incentive had significant effects on performance, the two did not interact.

A preliminary study (Experiment I) was undertaken to ensure that each stress, when compared with a nonstress condition, independently produced increased SNS activity. To this end, 24 U.S. Army enlisted men (a) solved anagrams, (b) underwent semi-nude exposure to 50°F cold, and (c) watched a comedy movie. SNS activity during (a) and (b) was independently compared with (c). Subsequently, in Experiment II, Ss' responses during a single stress (55°F cold exposure) were contrasted with those recorded during a dual stress condition (anagram solving during 55°F cold exposure). Each stress independently produced increased SNS activity, and the two stressors combined produced more SNS activity than did cold exposure alone.

Although HFRS has not been reported in North America, viruses that are antigenically similar to HFRS agents were recently isolated from rodents in the United States. Examination and comparison of eight representative isolates from endemic disease areas and from regions with no known associated HFRS indicate that these viruses represent a new and unique group that constitutes a separate genus in the Bunyaviridae family of animal viruses.

Antibody levels were determined utilizing a standardized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with Bacteroides gingivalis, B. ochraceu, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serving as antigens. The JP patients showed an initial rise in antibody levels immediately following therapy followed by a significant decrease in antibody levels 3 to 4 years later. The RP patients did not show an early change in antibody levels but by 3 to 4 years post-therapy, antibody levels had significantly decreased. However, during this study, the antibody levels of JP and RP patients remained significantly higher when compared with HS patients.

The deconvolution function for the image deblurring can be directly implemented at the input plane of a JTP. The bipolarity of the deconvolution function can be accomplished by encoding with a π-shifted grating structure. Computer simulations to test the feasibility of the scheme are given.

An interaction between method of brushing and brusher was found, indicating that no one method was clearly most effective in removing plaque. One brusher removed significantly more plaque with the Charters' method than with the roll method, whereas the other brusher obtained a significantly greater reduction in plaque with the scrub method than with either the Charters' or the roll methods.

New data on archaeobotanical macromorphologies, the chemical and chromosomal composition of arcbaeobotanical specimens, and the geographical distribution of archaeobotanical remains challenge old paradigms. In particular, the diffusion of tropical cultigens across the Caribbean must now be seriously considered. This paper reports on current research suggesting alternatives to existing paradigms in relation to four plants (maize, tobacco, beans, and chenopods) and stresses prehistoric eastern North America's relationship to, instead of isolation from, Mesoamerica and South America.

First, because two of our patients had testicular carcinoma; this firmly establishes that NEH is not exclusively seen in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or Hodgkin's lymphoma as previously reported. Second, because two of our patients did not receive cytarabine which has previously been suspected of being the causative agent, it is apparent that this disorder may be produced by more than one chemotherapeutic agent or combination of agents. The histologic features with a discussion of the spectrum of changes which may be seen are presented.

Acetylcholine was found in the following species from 13 families: Betula pendula, Codiaeum variegatum, Ilex opaca, Liquidambar styraciflua, Lonicera japonica, Phaseolus aureus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Pisum sativum, Plantago rugelli, Populus grandidentala, prunus serontina, Rhus copallina, Smilax hispida, Viburnum dilatatum, and Zea mays. Levels of acetylcholine in leaves ranged rom a low of 0.14 ± 0.05 (mean ± SEM) nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in I. opaca to a high of 53 ± 6.6 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in P. aureus. Acetylcholine was found in all tissues examined regardless of the organ (leaves, stems, or roots) or developmental stage (seedlings, mature plants, or seeds). For P. aureus continuous light exposure increased acetylcholine levels in leaves and decreased of acetylcholine, found in leaves ranged from a low of 84 ± 7.0 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in L. styraciflua to a high of 3700 ± 200 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in P. aureus. With these findings, three out of the four components of the cholinergic system have now been identified in plants.

JO - Physiologia Plantarum JF - Physiologia Plantarum Y1 - 1982/09// VL - 56 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 28 EP - 32 SN - 00319317 AB - In contrast to previous work, the distribution of cholinesterase was found to be ubiquitous in plant leaves. Cholinesterase activity was detected in 91% of the 70 species surveyed from 50 higher plants and three families of ferns. A radiometric assay was used to determine the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by leaf tissue slices in the presence and absence of 29 μM diisopropyl phosphofluoridate. The results obtained using this inhibitor as a criterion for cholinesterase activity were found to be consistent with previous studies using neostigmine as the inhibitor although there were some quantitative differences between the inhibitors. With some of the tested plants acetyl-β-methylcholine was also hydrolyzed, indicating that acetylcholinesterase rather than pseudocholinesterase was present at least in these cases. These findings demonstrate that the relative activity of cholinesterase in leaves can serve as an indicator of organophosphorous anticholinesterase contamination of the environment.

Flight simulators are an appropriate analogy for advanced training in medical and surgical procedures. The value of these simulators is principally in teaching cognitive and manual skills. Due to their increasing complexity, simulators will eventually provide the same value in medical testing and certification as flight simulators do. There are already numerous first- and second-generation surgical simulators in ophthalmologic, biliary, urologic, laparoscopic, orthopedic, arthroscopic, and neurologic surgery, and the third generation will follow soon. The virtual organs displayed in these systems are derived from actual patient data. They are rendered in three dimensions and can be explored by flying inside and around them. If surgical, training is the goal, an operative procedure (like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or gall bladder removal with a scope and instruments inserted through holes rather than an incision) can be performed.

According to the researchers, BoNTs are highly poisonous substances that are also effective medicines. They note that the ingestion of Clostridium botulinum-contaminated food often results in accidental BoNT poisoning. They present the crystal structure of a BoNT in complex with a clostridial nontoxic nonhemagglutinin (NTNHA) protein and discuss the results of biochemical and functional studies showing NTNHA's role in protecting BoNT from gastrointestinal degradation.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics JF - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics Y1 - 2007/01/02/Jan2007 Part 2 Of 2 VL - 43 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 223 EP - 225 SN - 00189464 AB - The Army's Pulse Power For Future Combat System (FCS) Army Technology Objective (ATO) program is developing the high-voltage pulse power components required to allow for the integration of revolutionary survivability and lethality in ground combat vehicles. This paper will describe recent advances in high energy density (HED) biaxially-oriented poly-propylene (BOPP) capacitors. Intermediate energy storage for many pulse power loads is achieved through the use of high energy-density thin-film capacitors, currently utilizing BOPP as the dielectric film of choice. Recent advances in HED BOPP capacitors over the last decade have resulted in the energy density more than doubling from ~0.5 J/cc in the early 1990s to ~1.2 J/cc in the 2003-2004 timeframe while still possessing reasonable direct current (dc) life and shot life. Further research has resulted in RED capacitors with energy densities of 2.0 J/cc at reduced shot and dc life levels which are candidates for applications in which the number of shots are not critical to the application. Current research and development efforts through SAIC and Advance Capacitor Inc/ICAR (ACI/ICAR) are being pursued with the goal of developing >1.8 J/cc while maintaining reasonable dc and shot life. In addition, efforts are also ongoing to develop exceptionally long dc-life HED capacitors.

JO - Oncology Nursing Forum JF - Oncology Nursing Forum Y1 - 2007/01// VL - 34 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 189 EP - 189 PB - Oncology Nursing Society SN - 0190535X AB - A growing body of research that has investigated exercise rehabilitation in patients with cancer has demonstrated dramatic improvements in physiological and psychological functioning. However, the impact of participation in these programs on health over time has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to assess over time (18-months) the ability of an exercise intervention program to effect a change in health habits and improvement in health in patients with cancer as compared to patients with cancer who did not participate in the study program. Roy Adaptation Model. This was a quasi-experimental, repeated measures study. 128 participants were recruited into the study, 70 into the Exercise Group and 58 into the Comparison Group. Participants in the Exercise Group were enrolled into a structured exercise program consisting of supervised aerobic exercise. Subjects met two days each week for 12 weeks and exercised an additional three to five days each week at home. Participants in the Comparison Group were instructed to continue their normal activities. Key exercise variables were change over time in exercise tolerance as measured with a sub-maximal graded exercise test and the Physical Activities Questionnaire, both valid and reliable measures of exercise. Descriptive statistics and repeated-measures analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. Participants were predominantly Caucasian, married, and well-educated. Half were male and half female. Ages ranged from 31 to 86. Participants had a wide range of cancer diagnoses; most had early stage disease. All had completed cancer therapy within the previous six months. Significant differences (p < .05) between groups and over time were found in heart rate and rate of perceived exertion with the participants in the Exercise Group improving the most and sustaining these improvements over time. This research supports exercise as an intervention to improve health of patients with cancer. Additional research is needed to determine the best way to assess exercise tolerance and how it relates to quality of life over time.

T1 - Aircraft Turbofan Engine Health Estimation Using Constrained Kalman Filtering. JO - Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines & Power JF - Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines & Power Y1 - 2005/04// VL - 127 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 323 EP - 328 SN - 07424795 AB - Kalman filters are often used to estimate the state variables of a dynamic system. However, in the application of Kalman filters some known signal information is often either ignored or dealt with heuristically. For instance, state-variable constraints (which may be based on physical considerations) are often neglected because they do not fit easily into the structure of the Kalman filter. This paper develops an analytic method of incorporating state-variable inequality constraints in the Kalman filter. The resultant filter is a combination of a standard Kalman filter and a quadratic programming problem. The incorporation of state-variable constraints increases the computational effort of the filter but significantly improves its estimation accuracy. The improvement is proven theoretically and shown via simulation results obtained from application to a turbofan engine model. This model contains 16 state variables, 12 measurements, and 8 component health parameters. It is shown that the new algorithms provide improved performance in this example over unconstrained Kalman filtering.

These interactions often depend upon reliable social cues, which can result in highly coordinated activities in uncertain environments. Yet information within a crowd may be lost in translation, generating confusion and enhancing individual risk. As quantitative data detailing animal social interactions accumulate, the mechanisms enabling individuals to rapidly and accurately process competing social cues remain unresolved. Here, we model how motion-guided attention influences the exchange of visual information during social navigation. We also compare the performance of this mechanism to the hypothesis that robust social coordination requires individuals to numerically limit their attention to a set of n-nearest neighbours. While we find that such numerically limited attention does not generate robust social navigation across ecological contexts, several notable qualities arise from selective attention to motion cues. First, individuals can instantly become a local information hub when startled into action, without requiring changes in neighbour attention level. Second, individuals can circumvent speed -- accuracy trade-offs by tuning their motion thresholds. In turn, these properties enable groups to collectively dampen or amplify social information. Lastly, the minority required to sway a group's short-term directional decisions can change substantially with social context. Our findings suggest that motion-guided attention is a fundamental and efficient mechanism underlying collaborative decision making during social navigation.

A hydrodynamic model for electronic response is used, in which nonlinear surface contributions are expressed in terms of the bulk polarization. The model is in good agreement with published experimental results, and clarifies the mechanisms contributing to the nonlinear response. In particular, we show that the reported enhancement of the second harmonic in split-ring resonator based media is driven by the electric rather than the magnetic properties of the structure.

Morning sickness causes women to avoid toxic foods. The article also discusses the views of M. Profet, following research by Hook. Any model that correctly explains NVP in adaptive terms must be capable of integrating biology and culture.

The overall solar-to-electric energy conversion efficiency found was ~1.5% in these regenerative electrochemical photovoltaic cells without any dye sensitizer. These initial and promising results are believed to be due to the presence of the carboxylic group which provides enhanced adsorption and transport of the photoinduced charge. Further optimization is expected to result in even higher PV performance.

Its existing documentation includes a User''s Manual that describes how to run the program and a Reference Manual that covers its theory and algorithms. A new manual, the “SWMM Applications Manual”, has been added to this collection. It contains nine worked-out examples addressing common stormwater management and design problems encountered in practice. The manual will be especially useful for new SWMM users who need additional guidance in applying this powerful tool to urban drainage design and analysis.

JO - AIP Conference Proceedings JF - AIP Conference Proceedings Y1 - 2003/08/19/ VL - 676 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 386 PB - American Institute of Physics SN - 0094243X AB - It is now well known that chaotic systems may be controlled with small perturbations to execute orbits yielding a specified symbolic itinerary as long as the grammatical rules of those transitions are allowed by the natural dynamical system. Here, we employ techniques taken from contemporary data compression technology (source modeling and arithmetic coding) but reverse their usual roles to create a channel coder tuned to the observed natural dynamics. With a universal compression technique, we estimate a variable depth Markov-chain model which faithfully approximates the observed symbolic dynamics of the uncontrolled electronic circuit source. Subsequently, we drive the experimental system to the itinerary generated from an arbitrary white binary stream (the message) encoded using the symbolic model and the arithmetic coder. The transmitter’s orbits are indistinguishable in grammar and measure from the uncontrolled attractor, demonstrating chaotic stegeanography with no rate loss. All the information naturally generated from chaos has been replaced by message bits at the same rate. Transmission on other chaotic saddles are accessible as well: the measure on the Markov chain may be modified arbitrarily as long as the topology is still respected. One particularly interesting solution, which is derived in explicit form, is that saddle which yields an entropy rate equal to the channel capacity, the upper bound for the given topology. Our algorithms are general, working as stated for arbitrary finite-depth grammars and alphabets, without analytical foreknowledge of the transmitter’s equations of motion, though a good symbolic partition is necessary. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

JO - Microwave & Optical Technology Letters JF - Microwave & Optical Technology Letters Y1 - 1993/09/05/ VL - 6 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 632 EP - 634 SN - 08952477 AB - An array of optical fibers can be applied to smart-skin sensing applications, which include stress monitoring, fatigue detection, temperature sensing, etc. Although a single light source can be used in a fiber array sensor, the input light power is divided by a sensing fiber array and each fiber may require a detector. Thus as the channel number of a fiber array increases, the number of detectors also increases and the signal intensity of each fiber channel decreases, which decreases the signal-to-noise ratio and increases the complexity and the cost of the system. In this article we will analyze the Hadamard transform to enhance the signal processing of the fiber array sensor. The apparent advantages are that only one detector is needed and the signal-to-noise ratio of the fiber array sensor can be improved by a factor of √N/2, where N is the number of sensing fibers. Analysis for an array of 127 sensing fibers is illustrated, in which we have shown that the calculated results are in agreement with the analytical model.

Propionycholine was found in the leaves of the following species previously shown to contain acetylcholine and chlinesterase acitvity. Codiaeum variegatum Blume, Phaseolus aueus Roxb. cv. Berken, Plantago regelli Decne., Populus grandidentata Michx, and Betula pendula Roth. The quantities of propionylcholine ranged from a high of 2.3 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in C. variegatum to a low of 0.11 nmol (g fresh weight)-1 in P. Rugelli. These amounts represented 6 to 8% of the levels of acetylcholine. In contrast to animals tissues which rarely synthesize propionylcholine, this compound was found in all species examined which represented five families of flowering plants.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2012/03/15/ VL - 86 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 0022538X AB - Filoviruses are enveloped viruses that cause sporadic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fever [CDC, MMWR Morb. Mortal. Wkly. Rep. 50:73-77, 2001; Colebunders and Borchert, J. Infect. 40:16-20, 2000; Colebunders et al., J. Infect. Dis. 196(Suppl. 2):S148-S153, 2007; Geisbert and Jahrling, Nat. Med. 10:S110-S121, 2004]. Previous studies revealed that endosomal cysteine proteases are host factors for ebolavirus Zaire (Chandran et al., Science 308:1643-1645, 2005; Schornberg et al., J. Virol. 80:4174-4178, 2006). In this report, we show that infection mediated by glycoproteins from other phylogenetically diverse filoviruses are also dependent on these proteases and provide additional evidence indicating that they cleave GP1 and expose the binding domain for the critical host factor Niemann-Pick C1. Using selective inhibitors and knockout-derived cell lines, we show that the ebolaviruses Zaire and Cote d'Ivoire are strongly dependent on cathepsin B, while the ebolaviruses Sudan and Reston and Marburg virus are not. Taking advantage of previous studies of cathepsin B inhibitor-resistant viruses (Wong et al., J. Virol. 84:163-175, 2010), we found that virus-specific differences in the requirement for cathepsin B are correlated with sequence polymorphisms at residues 47 in GP1 and 584 in GP2. We applied these findings to the analysis of additional ebolavirus isolates and correctly predicted that the newly identified ebolavirus species Bundibugyo, containing D47 and I584, is cathepsin B dependent and that ebolavirus Zaire-1995, the single known isolate of ebolavirus Zaire that lacks D47, is not. We also obtained evidence for virus-specific differences in the role of cathepsin L, including cooperation with cathepsin B. These studies strongly suggest that the use of endosomal cysteine proteases as host factors for entry is a general property of members of the family Filoviridae.

The use of personas as design tools is becoming more widespread as researchers and practitioners discover its benefits. This paper presents an empirical study comparing the performance of existing qualitative and quantitative clustering techniques for the task of identifying personas and grouping system users into those personas. A method based on Factor (Principal Components) Analysis performs better than two other methods which use Latent Semantic Analysis and Cluster Analysis as measured by similarity to expert manually defined clusters.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 86 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 0022538X AB - Antibody 14G7 is protective against lethal Ebola virus challenge and recognizes a distinct linear epitope in the prominent mucin-like domain of the Ebola virus glycoprotein GP. The structure of 14G7 in complex with its linear peptide epitope has now been determined to 2.8 Å. The structure shows that this GP sequence forms a tandem ß-hairpin structure that binds deeply into a cleft in the antibody-combining site. A key threonine at the apex of one turn is critical for antibody interaction and is conserved among all Ebola viruses. This work provides further insight into the mechanism of protection by antibodies that target the protruding, highly accessible mucin-like domain of Ebola virus and the structural framework for understanding and characterizing candidate immunotherapeutics.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 86 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 0022538X AB - Orthopoxviruses include the prototypical vaccinia virus, the emerging infectious agent monkeypox virus, and the potential biothreat variola virus (the causative agent of smallpox). There is currently no FDA-approved drug for humans infected with orthopoxviruses. We screened a diversity-oriented synthesis library for new scaffolds with activity against vaccinia virus. This screen identified a nonnucleoside analog that blocked postreplicative intermediate and late gene expression. Viral genome replication was unaffected, and inhibition could be elicited late in infection and persisted upon drug removal. Sequencing of drug-resistant viruses revealed mutations predicted to be on the periphery of the highly conserved viral RNA polymerase large subunit. Consistent with this, the compound had broad-spectrum activity against orthopoxviruses in vitro. These findings indicate that novel chemical synthesis approaches are a potential source for new infectious disease therapeutics and identify a potentially promising candidate for development to treat orthopoxvirus-infected individuals.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2012/03// VL - 86 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 0022538X AB - The genus Alphavirus comprises a diverse group of viruses, including some that cause severe disease. Using full-length sequences of all known alphaviruses, we produced a robust and comprehensive phylogeny of the Alphavirus genus, presenting a more complete evolutionary history of these viruses compared to previous studies based on partial sequences. Our phylogeny suggests the origin of the alphaviruses occurred in the southern oceans and spread equally through the Old and New World. Since lice appear to be involved in aquatic alphavirus transmission, it is possible that we are missing a louse-borne branch of the alphaviruses. Complete genome sequencing of all members of the genus also revealed conserved residues forming the structural basis of the E1 and E2 protein dimers.

Beginning in the mid-1980s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists, which proved effective for suppressing circulating testosterone levels and led to a significant shift away from surgical castration to medical management during the past 25 years. The luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists resulted in a periodic return of noncastrate testosterone levels once the receptor desensitization attenuated and the effect of androgen agonism resumed. Therefore, the introduction of an androgen receptor antagonist (gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist) appeared, conceptually at least, to be a preferable alternative. The first such agent, degarelix, has proved to provide rapid testosterone suppression without the initial testosterone surge associated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists. Other new agents in early development include a selective and irreversible inhibitor of CYP17, abiraterone, which has shown success in patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer, and MDV3100, a novel small molecule that acts as an oral nonsteroidal antiandrogen agent. In sum, these latest agents might lead to a paradigm shift in the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer; however, additional studies are required to clarify the many questions that remain regarding the optimal use and sequence of these agents.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2011/09// VL - 50 IS - 9 M3 - Article SP - 094403 EP - 094403 SN - 00913286 AB - In this paper, we report a novel method of free-space passive optical coupling to completely embedded, transmission-based fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. Fiber optic sensors (FOS's) have attracted intense research and commercial interest. A major challenge in implementing embedded FOS's, however, is improving upon the cumbersome and fragile ingress/egress techniques commonly used for bringing the sensing light into and out of the structures. In this paper, we successfully couple free-space light into and out of an embedded FBG sensor, without the use of physical connectorization. This coupling is enabled by splicing a multimode fiber (MMF) to a single mode fiber Bragg grating (SMFBG), and using hand polishing to integrate 45° mirrors onto the ingress and egress points of the MMF and SMFBG, respectively. We determine the total loss of the system to be 23 dB, which is considerably better than previous studies that did not use this hand polishing technique. We also demonstrate the application of this free-space coupling technique to strain measurement with a maximum strain of about 2000 [variant_greek_epsilon]. With this approach, no "pigtailing" of optical fibers is needed, and the FBG sensors can be completely embedded inside the structures, greatly increasing system simplicity and robustness.

Design: Retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive case series. Methods: All 301 consecutive ocular teleconsultations received were reviewed. The main outcome measures were differential diagnosis, evacuation recommendations, and origination of consultation. Secondary measures included patient demographics, reason for consultation, and inclusion of clinical images. Results: The average response time was 5 hours and 41 minutes. Most consultations originated from Iraq (58.8%) and Afghanistan (18.6%). Patient care-related requests accounted for 94.7% of consultations; nonphysicians submitted 26.3% of consultations. Most patients (220/285; 77.2%) were United States military personnel; the remainder included local nationals and coalition forces. Children accounted for 23 consultations (8.1%). Anterior segment disease represented the largest grouping of cases (129/285; 45.3%); oculoplastic problems represented nearly one quarter (68/285; 23.9%). Evacuation was recommended in 123 (43.2%) of 285 cases and in 21 (58.3%) of 36 cases associated with trauma. Photographs were included in 38.2%, and use was highest for pediatric and strabismus (83.3%) and oculoplastic (67.6%) consultations. Consultants facilitated evacuation in 87 (70.7%) of 123 consultations where evacuation was recommended and avoided unnecessary evacuations in 28 (17.3%) of 162 consultations. Conclusions: This teleconsultation program has brought valuable tertiary level support to deployed providers, thereby helping to facilitate appropriate and timely referrals, and in some cases avoiding unnecessary evacuation. Advances in remote diagnostic and imaging technology could further enhance consultant support to distant providers and their patients.

However, the current level of performance that is available is largely deficient compared to the requirements. This is largely due to the difficulty of acquiring targets in realistic environments but has also been due to the difficulty in getting new concepts from, for example, the academic community, due to limitations for distribution of classified data. The difficulty of the performance required has limited the fulfillment of the promise that is so anticipated by the war fighter. We review the metrics, imagery data bases, and sensors associated with Ai/ATR performance and suggest possible technical approaches that could enable new advancements in military-relevant performance.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 50 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 061005 SN - 00913286 AB - We have extended our investigation of corrugated quantum well infrared photodetector focal plane arrays (FPAs) into the far infrared regime. Specifically, we are developing the detectors for the thermal infrared sensor (TIRS) used in the Landsat Data Continuity Mission. To maintain a low dark current, we adopted a low doping density of 0.6×1018 cm−3 and a bound-to-bound state detector. The internal absorption quantum efficiency (QE) is calculated to be 25.4%. With a pixel fill factor of 80% and a substrate transmission of 70.9%, the external QE is 14.4%. To yield the theoretical conversion efficiency (CE), the photoconductive gain was measured and is 0.25 at 5 V, from which CE is predicted to be 3.6%. This value is in agreement with the 3.5% from the FPA measurement. Meanwhile, the dark current is measured to be 2.1×10−6 A/cm2 at 43 K. For regular infrared imaging above 8 μm, the FPA will have an noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of 16 mK at 2 ms integration time in the presence of 260 read noise electrons. The highest operability of the tested FPAs is 99.967%. With the CE agreement, we project the FPA performance in the far infrared regime up to 30 μm cutoff.

JO - Optical Engineering JF - Optical Engineering Y1 - 2011/06// VL - 50 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 061015 SN - 00913286 AB - Theoretical modeling and experimental evidence show that the dark currents of antimonide (Sb)-based Type-II Superlattice (T2SL) detectors sensitive to long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) radiation are limited by the minority carrier lifetimes associated with the Shockley Read-Hall (SRH) generation-recombination process. Despite the low minority carrier lifetimes, the present photodiode dark current performance is achieved by increasing the background doping density of the absorber layers to NA ~ 2×1016 cm-3. This paper will discuss the measured minority carrier lifetimes of T2SL LWIR detectors with various background doping densities. To make comparisons, we designed several T2SL absorber layers sensitive in the LWIR range and p-type doped up to various densities. We find the minority carrier lifetimes are dominated by the SRH generation-recombination process. By analyzing minority carrier lifetime data as a function of excess carrier densities, we estimate SRH lifetimes and actual ionized acceptor densities of the absorber layers. The data are compared with the measured impurity doping densities of the detectors. In addition, we predict the type of flaws responsible for the SRH recombination process and narrow down the flaw energy level relative to the Fermi energy.

The sensor device employs an equilateral triangle configuration consisting of three mechanically coupled circular membranes whose oscillations are detected by a fiber-optic system. The experimental results indicate that significant amplification of the directional cues and directional sensitivity can be achieved with the fly-ear inspired sensor design. This work can provide a basis for the development of miniature sound localization sensors in two dimensions.

Requirements to illuminate through the self-luminosity of explosive events motivate the development of a high brightness imaging technique obviating the limitations of previous attempts. A lensed vertical cavity surface-emitting laser array is proposed and implemented with spectral filtering to effectively remove self-luminosity and the fireball from the image, providing excellent background discrimination in a variety of range test scenarios.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 85 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 40 EP - 40 SN - 0022538X AB - Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever, for which therapeutic options are not available. Preventing the entry of EBOV into host cells is an attractive antiviral strategy, which has been validated for HIV by the FDA approval of the anti-HIV drug enfuvirtide. To identify inhibitors of EBOV entry, the EBOV envelope glycoprotein (EBOV-GP) gene was used to generate pseudotype viruses for screening of chemical libraries. A benzodiazepine derivative (compound 7) was identified from a high-throughput screen (HTS) of small-molecule compound libraries utilizing the pseudotype virus. Compound 7 was validated as an inhibitor of infectious EBOV and Marburg virus (MARV) in cell-based assays, with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of 10 μM and 12 μM, respectively. Time-of-addition and binding studies suggested that compound 7 binds to EBOV-GP at an early stage during EBOV infection. Preliminary Schrödinger SiteMap calculations, using a published EBOV-GP crystal structure in its prefusion conformation, suggested a hydrophobic pocket at or near the GP1 and GP2 interface as a suitable site for compound 7 binding. This prediction was supported by mutational analysis implying that residues Asn69, Leu70, Leu184, Ile185, Leu186, Lys190, and Lys191 are critical for the binding of compound 7 and its analogs with EBOV-GP. We hypothesize that compound 7 binds to this hydrophobic pocket and as a consequence inhibits EBOV infection of cells, but the details of the mechanism remain to be determined. In summary, we have identified a novel series of benzodiazepine compounds that are suitable for optimization as potential inhibitors of filoviral infection.

This method involves evaluating the impact of amplitude and phase modulations of the propagating wavefront after the removal of the mean wavefront tilt. This tilt is determined by a least-squares analysis. We retain a term involving the correlation between tilt-corrected phase and computed tilt vector that was formerly assumed to be zero. Inclusion of this term yields a new turbulence-strength–dependent effect that degrades performance at high integrated turbulence levels and also predicts super-resolution effects at lower integrated turbulence levels. An analytical approximation is derived from this analysis that describes the new MTF model as a function of three dimensionless parameters related to the angular frequency, system aperture diameter, and integrated turbulence strength.

T1 - Uses and Abuses of O&M Funded Construction: Never Build on a Foundation of Sand. JO - Army Lawyer JF - Army Lawyer Y1 - 2005/08// IS - 387 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 24 SN - 03641287 AB - The article focuses on the use and misuse of operations and maintenance (O&M) funds to pay for combat and contingency construction. Fiscal law, however, generally prevents the use of O&M dollars to fund military construction projects that cost more than $750,000 or more than $1.5 million to correct threats to life, health, or safety. Faced with this constraint, commanders often pressure their operational lawyers to find fiscal law solutions to satisfy mission requirements. The Constitution provides the foundation for understanding why the military must conduct its operations within the constraints of fiscal law, even when the need to accomplish the mission seems paramount. To secure liberty, the Constitution first limits the power of government to certain spheres.

A theory is offered of image processing during the search and navigation phase of echolocation that uses Doppler frequency shifts. The information in frequency changes across the angle of elevation can be used to generate a three dimensional model of the environment when combined with the timing and the relative amplitude of the returned signals. The mathematics of frequency shifts for an emitter traveling at a large fraction of the velocity of propagation (c) is presented. Reported behavior that can be explained by this phenomenon is discussed.

In this study, we sought to determine whether muscle disuse has additional impact on muscle atrophy after severe burn using a rat model combining severe cutaneous burn and hindlimb unloading. Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats (≈300 g) were randomly assigned to sham ambulatory (S/A), sham hindlimb unloading (S/HLU), burn ambulatory (B/A), or burn hindlimb unloading (B/HLU) groups. Rats received a 40% total body surface (TBSA) full thickness scald burn, and rats with hindlimb unloading were placed in a tail traction system. At d 14, lean body mass (LBM) was determined using DEXA scan, followed by measurement of the isometric mechanical properties in the predominantly fast-twitch plantaris muscle (PL) and the predominantly slow-twitch soleus muscle (SL). Muscle weight (wt), protein wt, and wet/dry wt were determined. Results: At d 14, body weight had decreased significantly in all treatment groups; B/HLU resulted in significantly greater loss compared with the B/A, S/HLU, and S/A. The losses could be attributed to loss of LBM. PL muscle wt and Po were lowest in the B/HLU group (<0.05 versus S/A, S/HLU, or B/A). SL muscle wt and Po were significantly less in both S/HLU and B/HLU compared with that of S/A and B/A; no significant difference was found between S/HLU and B/HLU. Conclusions: Cutaneous burn and hindlimb unloading have an additive effect on muscle atrophy, characterized by loss of muscle mass and decrease in muscle strength in both fast (PL) and slow (SL) twitch muscles. Of the two, disuse appeared to be the dominant factor for continuous muscle wasting after acute burn in this model.

Future tactical networks also require cognitive functions across the protocol stack to exploit scarce spectrum and dynamically adapt functions and configuration settings. In this work we highlight the need for novel design tools for cognitive tactical networks. We define a system design model that will provide the foundation for generic network design problem formulations via the use of cognitive techniques covering both dynamic frequency adaptations and machinelearning- related aspects of cognition. We use the system model to identify several potential cognitive design knobs and describe how the different design knobs can potentially be adjusted at different timescales of operation. These knobs are used in formulating a cognitive network design problem. Finally, we discuss how a network designer can potentially benefit from the proposed model result, a cognitive network design toolset we have recently developed.

JO - IEEE Communications Magazine JF - IEEE Communications Magazine Y1 - 2010/10// VL - 48 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 60 EP - 69 SN - 01636804 AB - Tactical edge networks present extremely challenging environments for communications given their wireless ad hoc nature and the inherent node mobility. Military applications such as Blue Force Tracking, inter-team communications, remote unmanned vehicle control, and sensor data mining/fusion thus have to deal with unstable links with limited bandwidth and variable latency. The peculiar characteristics of tactical networks call for peer-to-peer approaches to realize complex, adaptive, and fault-tolerant applications to be deployed in the battlefield. This article reports on our observations from several tactical networking experiments in which we have deployed state-of-the-art applications and services that leverage P2P communications. More specifically, we discuss why P2P approaches are critical for tactical network environments and applications. We then analyze the requirements that should be satisfied by P2P middleware for tactical environments. Finally, we discuss a case study, the Agile Computing Middleware, and present experimental results that demonstrate its effectiveness.

The approach rests on the radar examination of an area several times, once, before there are targets present, and the other (or others) after. The change detection algorithm notices if there are any changes after the first view. In the present approach the prospective target is represented, not in terms of three complex elements of a scattering matrix, but in terms of phenomenologically-based Huynen parameters. Each element of the Huynen parameter set conveys a different type of physical and geometrical attribute about the scatterers, thus the potential for significant false-alarm mitigation is increased. We provide results of the application of this approach on fully polarimetric signatures of simulated pairs of buried cylindrical targets. These results indicate the following. 1) Huynen parameters are more effective for change detection than the scattering matrix elements because of their ability to generate higher unambiguous autocorrelation peaks and fewer dominating cross-correlation curves. 2) A large number of symmetries are observed in the plots of the Huynen parameters for both one and two buried cylinders. These symmetries may eventually lead to further classification insights. 3) By using standard Prony methods, relevant resonance frequencies are extracted from the parameter plots, from which the height of either one of the cylinders is estimated. 4) The diameter of either cylinder can also be obtained by a simple procedure based on ray-tracing and time delays. Numerical calculations substantiate all the above assertions.

JO - Journal of Heat Transfer JF - Journal of Heat Transfer Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 132 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 8 EP - 8 SN - 00221481 AB - Previous investigations on the performance of straight pins, pins with tip clearance, and profiled fins showed that closely packed cylindrical pin fins are very competitive with the modified pins. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of pin density on performance. Steady/time-dependent calculations are performed to investigate the effect of pin density on friction and heat transfer. Pins packed at distances of SD=1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3 pin diameters (D) are investigated for 10≤ ReD≤600. Two performance measures are used to compare the different pin fin densities. The first measure is to maximize heat transfer capacity for a given pumping power compared with a plane channel. The second measure used is based on entropy generation minimization (EGM), where the objective is to reduce the total irreversibility of the pin fin array to obtain an optimal spacing. Based on the performance measure of maximizing heat capacity, it is shown that for plain channels operating in the laminar range using denser pin packing has distinct advantages with SD=1.1 providing the best augmentation. However, the augmentation in heat capacity becomes relatively independent of the pin density for a channel operating in the turbulent regime. Based on the EGM method, at ReD>200, SD=1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 are the most suitable, with the least entropy generation observed at SD=1.4.

The new types of eyewear are commercial, off-the-shelf items that have passed the U.S. Army's testing criteria and are currently being issued to deploying Soldiers through the Army's rapid-fielding initiative. The new eyewear is categorized as either spectacles or goggles, according to the test criteria each must pass to be authorized for use by Soldiers. Although these new commercial items provide excellent ballistic protection, none of them protect the eyes from lasers. All of the goggles are one size fits all, and all the kits include two ballistic protective lenses, one clear and one tinted. Several reports from these Soldiers indicate that the Army's new protective eyewear has protected their eyes from shrapnel numerous times.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2007/04/30/ VL - 21 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - A825 EP - A826 AB - Eight-fold differences in survival time were detected among 15 inbred rat strains after a controlled hemorrhage (Klemcke et al., FASEB J 20: A1382, 2006). To assess potential mechanisms of these differences, indicators of tissue hypoxia (lactate, pH, bicarbonate [HCO3], and base deficit [BD]) were measured in arterial blood at the beginning (basal) and end (final) of hemorrhage. Rats were catheterized and, 24 hours later, 55% of the blood volume was removed during a 26 min period from conscious unrestrained animals. Rats were then observed for 6 hr or until death. Using average values for each strain, there were correlations (P <0.01) between survival time and final lactate (r=-0.86), HCO3 (r=0.88), and BD (r=-0.87), whereas associations between final pH and survival time were weak (r=0.5; P=0.05). There were no correlations between basal levels and survival time (P ≥0.16). In support of these correlations, analysis of all strains via ANOVA revealed that longer-lived strains had lower (P<0.01) final lactate and BD values, but higher (P<0.01) final HCO3 than strains with shorter survival times. Therefore, inbred rat strains demonstrate early differences in their ability to maintain aerobic metabolism that relate to their ability to survive severe hemorrhage.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2007/04/15/ VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - A594 EP - A595 AB - The purpose of this study was to determine whether chemotherapy affected the circadian core temperature rhythm (CTcR) of a woman treated for breast cancer with Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (AC). Core temperature (Tc) telemetry was used to obtain the (CTcR) before, during and after each of 4 AC treatments, given three weeks apart. CTcR was analyzed using both cosinor analysis and a new method based on polynomial curve fitting. Tc was analyzed over a subjective day, defined as the time between consecutive daily Tc nadirs. The CTcR response to AC was qualitatively the same for each of the 4 treatments. Prior to AC, the phase (φ) of the Tc nadir was advanced by several hours compared to the average population. On the day of AC treatment, the circadian period (τ) was shortened (φ advance) and the Tc mesor (M) was reduced (∼0.15-0.2°C). During the first full subjective day following AC, τ increased by 3-15 h (φ delay), and M increased toward pre-treatment parameters. During the second subjective day following treatment, M was elevated, the amplitude was depressed and T returned toward 24 h. In summary, this case study shows that chemotherapy markedly affected the human circadian master oscillator in this patient as detected by CTcR. This research also underscores the importance of dynamically individualizing chronotherapeutic schedules and demonstrates that Tc telemetry may be a clinically relevant methodology.

Its ancient nature makes this atypical isolate of particular importance in understanding the evolution of plague pathogenicity. Its chromosome features a unique genetic make-up intermediate between modern Y. pestis isolates and its evolutionary ancestor, Y. pseudotuberculosis. Our genotypic and phenotypic analyses led us to conclude that Angola belongs to one of the most ancient Y. pestis lineages thus far sequenced. The mobilome carries the first reported chimeric plasmid combining the two species-specific virulence plasmids. Genomic findings were validated in virulence assays demonstrating that its pathogenic potential is distinct from modern Y. pestis isolates. Human infection with this particular isolate would not be diagnosed by the standard clinical tests, as Angola lacks the plasmid-borne capsule, and a possible emergence of this genotype raises major public health concerns. To assess the genomic plasticity in Y. pestis, we investigated the global gene reservoir and estimated the pangenome at 4,844 unique protein-coding genes. As shown by the genomic analysis of this evolutionary key isolate, we found that the genomic plasticity within Y. pestis clearly was not as limited as previously thought, which is strengthened by the detection of the largest number of isolate-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) currently reported in the species. This study identified numerous novel genetic signatures, some of which seem to be intimately associated with plague virulence. These markers are valuable in the development of a robust typing system critical for forensic, diagnostic, and epidemiological studies.

Methods: Data were collected from BMT recruits during 2007; analysis took place during 2008. After foot examinations, recruits were randomly consigned to either an experimental group (E, n=1042 men, 375 women) or a control group (C, n=913 men, 346 women). Experimental group recruits were assigned motion control, stability, or cushioned shoes for plantar shapes indicative of low, medium, or high arches, respectively. Control group recruits received a stability shoe regardless of plantar shape. Injuries during BMT were determined from outpatient visits provided from the Defense Medical Surveillance System. Other injury risk factors (fitness, smoking, physical activity, prior injury, menstrual history, and demographics) were obtained from a questionnaire, existing databases, or BMT units. Results: Multivariate Cox regression controlling for other risk factors showed little difference in injury risk between the groups among men (hazard ratio [E/C]=1.11, 95% CI=0.89–1.38) or women (hazard ratio [E/C]=1.20, 95% CI= 0.90–1.60). Independent injury risk factors among both men and women included low aerobic fitness and cigarette smoking. Conclusions: This prospective study demonstrated that assigning running shoes based on the shape of the plantar surface had little influence on injury risk in BMT even after controlling for other injury risk factors.

This investigation systematically reviewed studies examining the influence of the parachute ankle brace (PAB) on injuries during military parachuting and performed a cost-effectiveness analysis. Evidence acquisition: Parachute ankle brace studies were obtained from seven databases, personal contacts, and other sources. Investigations were reviewed if they contained original, quantitative information on PAB use and injuries during parachuting. Meta-analysis was performed using a general variance-based meta-analysis method that calculated summary risk ratios (SRR) and 95% CIs. Evidence synthesis: Five studies met the review criteria. Compared with PAB users, PAB non-users had a higher risk of ankle injuries (SRR=2.1, 95% CI=1.8–2.5); ankle sprains (SRR=2.1, 95% CI=1.4–3.1); ankle fractures (SRR=1.8, 95% CI=1.1–2.9); and all parachuting injuries combined (SRR=1.2, 95% CI=1.1–1.4). The PAB had little effect on lower body injuries exclusive of the ankle (SRR [no PAB/PAB]=0.9, 95% CI=0.7–1.2). Cost-effectiveness analysis estimated that, for every dollar expended on the PAB, a savings of about $7 to $9 could be achieved in medical and personnel costs. Conclusions: The PAB reduces ankle injuries by about half and is a cost effective device that should be worn during military airborne operations to reduce injury risk.

Evidence acquisition: A work group was formed to identify, evaluate, and assess the level of scientific evidence for various physical training–related injury prevention strategies through an expedited systematic review process. Of 40 physical training–related injury prevention strategies identified, education, leader support, and surveillance were determined to be essential elements of a successful injury prevention program and not independent interventions. As a result of the expedited systematic reviews, one more essential element (research) was added for a total of four. Six strategies were not reviewed. The remaining 31 interventions were categorized into three levels representing the strength of recommendation: (1) recommended; (2) not recommended; and (3) insufficient evidence to recommend or not recommend. Evidence synthesis: Education, leadership support, injury surveillance, and research were determined to be critical components of any successful injury prevention program. Six interventions (i.e., prevent overtraining, agility-like training, mouthguards, semirigid ankle braces, nutrient replacement, and synthetic socks) had strong enough evidence to become working group recommendations for implementation in the military services. Two interventions (i.e., back braces and pre-exercise administration of anti-inflammatory medication) were not recommended due to evidence of ineffectiveness or harm, 23 lacked sufficient scientific evidence to support recommendations for all military services at this time, and six were not evaluated. Conclusions: Six interventions should be implemented in all four military services immediately to reduce physical training–related injuries. Two strategies should be discouraged by all leaders at all levels. Of particular note, 23 popular physical training–related injury prevention strategies need further scientific investigation, review, and group consensus before they can be recommended to the military services or similar civilian populations. The expedited systematic process of evaluating interventions enabled the working group to build consensus around those injury prevention strategies that had enough scientific evidence to support a recommendation.

The purpose of this study is to describe the mechanisms of flag-football injuries to better identify effective countermeasures. Methods: The data were derived from safety reports obtained from the USAF Ground Safety Automated System. Flag-football injuries for the years 1993–2002 that resulted in at least one lost workday were included in the study conducted in 2003. Narrative data were systematically reviewed for 32,812 USAF mishap reports; these were then coded in order to categorize and summarize mechanisms associated with flag football and other sports and occupational injuries. Results: Nine hundred and forty-four mishap reports involving active duty USAF members playing flag football met the criteria for inclusion into this study. Eight mechanisms of injury were identified. The eight mechanisms accounted for 90% of all flag-football injuries. One scenario (contact with another player) accounted for 42% of all flag-football injuries. Conclusions: The most common mechanisms of injury caused by playing flag football can be identified using the detailed information found in safety reports. These scenarios are essential to developing evidence-based countermeasures. Results for flag football suggest that interventions that prevent player contact injuries deserve further research and evaluation. The broader implications of this study are that military safety data can be used to identify potentially modifiable mechanisms of injury for specific activities such as flag football.

The purpose of this study is to describe the mechanisms associated with softball injuries occurring among active duty U.S. Air Force (USAF) personnel to better identify potentially effective countermeasures. Methods: Data derived from safety reports were obtained from the USAF Ground Safety Automated System in 2003. Softball injuries for the years 1993–2002 that resulted in at least one lost workday were included in the study. Narrative data were systematically reviewed and coded in order to categorize and summarize mechanisms associated with these injuries. Results: This report documents a total of 1181 softball-related mishap reports, involving 1171 active duty USAF members who sustained one lost-workday injury while playing softball. Eight independent mechanisms were identified. Three specific scenarios (sliding, being hit by a ball, and colliding with a player) accounted for 60% of reported softball injuries. Conclusions: Mechanisms of injury for activities such as playing softball, necessary for prevention planning, can be identified using the detailed information found in safety reports. This information should also be used to develop better sports injury coding systems. Within the USAF and U.S. softball community, interventions to reduce injuries related to the most common mechanisms (sliding, being hit by a ball, and colliding with a player) should be developed, implemented, and evaluated.

In the current conflicts, the improvised explosive device (IED) has greatly increased the potential for soldiers to sustain a TBI. This study''s objective was to establish benchmark admission rates for U.S. Army soldiers with TBIs identified during deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Methods: The study population consisted of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan from September 11, 2001, through September 30, 2007. Population data were merged with admission data to identify hospitalizations during deployment. Using the international Barell Injury Diagnosis Matrix, TBI-related admissions were categorized into Type 1 (the most severe), Type 2, and Type 3 (the least severe). All analyses were performed in 2008. Results: Of the 2898 identified TBI inpatient episodes of care, 46% were Type 1, 54% were Type 2, and less than 1% were Type 3. Over 65% of Type 1 injuries resulted from explosions, while almost half of all TBIs were non-battle-related. Overall TBI admission rates were 24.6 for Afghanistan and 41.8 for Iraq per 10,000 soldier-years. TBI hospitalization rates rose over time for both campaigns, although U.S. Army soldiers in Iraq experienced 1.7 times higher rates overall and 2.2 times higher Type 1 admission rates than soldiers in Afghanistan. The TBI-related proportion of all injury hospitalizations showed an ascending trend. Conclusions: Future surveillance of TBI hospitalization rates is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation of preventive measures.

This paper describes nonbattle injury (NBI) results from an ongoing surveillance program that identifies injury occurrences and causes during deployments for Operations Iraqi Freedom (Iraq) and Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). Methods: U.S. Army soldiers medically air evacuated from Iraq (March 2003–December 2006) or Afghanistan (October 2001–December 2006) were identified from air evacuation records that provided demographics, casualty type, diagnosis, and patient history. For NBI cases, the patient history was used to identify and code injury cause, incident circumstances, and body region. Descriptive statistics were used to describe and compare NBIs evacuated from Iraq and Afghanistan. Results: In all, 27,563 soldiers in Iraq and 4165 in Afghanistan were air evacuated. NBIs accounted for 35% and 36% of cases, respectively, and were the largest single category of evacuations for both operations. Distributions for leading categories of NBI diagnosis (fracture, inflammation/pain, and dislocation) and body region (back, knee, and wrist/hand) were similar for both operations. Leading NBI causes were the same for both operations—sports/physical training (19%–21%), falls/jumps (18%), and motor vehicle–related incidents (12%–16%)—but the proportion of motor vehicle incidents was higher in Iraq (p<0.001). Conclusions: Routinely collected air evacuation records provided the basis for ongoing injury surveillance for Iraq and Afghanistan. NBI was the largest category of evacuations from both operations. Leading NBI causes were similar to those identified for previous deployments and many should be preventable.

Data suggest that over 10% of civilian emergency room visits are due to craniofacial injuries. The size and scope of oral–maxillofacial injuries in the military is not well understood. This study reports U.S. military rates of oral–maxillofacial injuries, causes of oral–maxillofacial hospitalizations, and recommends approaches to improving surveillance, research, and prevention. Methods: Active duty U.S. military personnel who sought inpatient or outpatient treatment for one or more oral–maxillofacial injuries from 1996 to 2005 were identified in the Defense Medical Surveillance System using ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes associated with oral–maxillofacial injuries. ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes were divided into two categories: oral–maxillofacial wounds and oral–maxillofacial fractures. Results: The oral–maxillofacial fracture rates for men were consistently 1.5 to 2 times higher than those for women, with 2000–2005 rates between 1.2 and 1.5/1000 person-years for men and between 0.7 and 1.0/1000 person-years for women. Wound rates for men were similar to those for women for all years examined (p<0.001), with 2000–2005 rates ranging from 11.0 to 14.6/1000 person-years for men and 12.2–14.8/1000 person-years for women. Compared to the over-40 age group, active duty personnel under age 25 had the highest rates of both oral–maxillofacial fractures and wounds (p<0.001). Among those injuries with a cause recorded, fighting (13.5%) was the leading cause of oral–maxillofacial injury hospitalizations in 2005. Conclusions: Oral–maxillofacial injuries can and should be monitored using military medical surveillance data. Surveillance efforts would be enhanced by the addition of dental care data. There is also a need for additional quality intervention studies on the strategies to prevent oral and craniofacial injury.

U.S. military eye injury rates have not been fully described using medical surveillance data. Methods: Medical visit data on active duty personnel, 1996–2005, and causes of eye injury hospitalizations (identified by Standard NATO Agreement injury cause codes) were obtained from the Defense Medical Surveillance System. Eye injury–related ICD-9-CM codes beyond the traditional 800–999 injury code set were included. Rates by age and gender are reported for 1996–2005, along with the frequency of causes of injury hospitalizations and leading eye injury diagnoses for 2005. Results: Eye injury rates among active duty military personnel increased from 1996 to 2005 among both men and women (p<0.001), with the highest rates in 2004 (26/1000 person-years and 21/1000 person-years, women and men, respectively). Women consistently had 7%–21% higher rates than men (rate ratios=1.07; 95% CI=1.04, 1.11) to 1.21 (95% CI= 1.17, 1.25). From 1996–2005, eye injury rates increased among all age groups (p<0.001). From 2002–2005, rates were highest for those aged ≥40 years compared to those aged 17–19 years (rate ratios=1.17 [95% CI=1.11, 1.24] to 1.24 [95% CI=1.18, 1.31]). Leading causes of eye injury hospitalizations were ordnance handling (16.9%), enemy action (13.1%), and fighting (11.9%). Conclusions: Medical surveillance data enable the assessment and monitoring of overall active duty eye injury rates, trends, and causes. Outpatient data could be improved with the addition of cause of injury codes and eye protection use. Current data suggest that continued use of eye protection during ordnance handling, combat, motor vehicle use, and sports could help reduce eye injury rates.

Methods: NIHI were identified in the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS) using a list of ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes selected in collaboration with military audiologists. To provide a more comprehensive view of the NIHI problem, NIHI-related ICD-9 codes beyond the traditional 388 noise injury–code set were included. Visit rates by gender and age group are reported by quarter, 2003–2005. Overall frequencies and rates by occupational specialty, 2003–2005, are also described. Results: From 2003 to 2005, rates for men were significantly higher than rates for women, with rate ratios (RR) ranging from 1.15 (95% CI =1.07, 1.23) to 1.78 (95% CI= 1.62, 1.93). Rates among women ranged from 2.9 to 6.2 per 1000 person-years; rates among men ranged from 4.5 to 6.7 per 1000 person-years. NIHI rates were highest among those aged ≥40 years and lowest among those aged 17–19 years, with RRs ranging from 3.06 (95% CI=2.77, 3.40) to 5.51 (95% CI=4.88, 6.30) during this time period. Among occupational groups, general officers/executives had the highest NIHI rate over this time period (29.5/1000 person-years), followed by enlisted personnel in training (14.3/1000 person-years) and scientists and professionals (12.8/1000 person-years). Conclusions: While data on outpatient injury causes and use of hearing protection are also needed to guide the future design and/or modification of interventions, existing military medical surveillance provides essential information for tracking NIHI and monitoring NIHI intervention effects.

Injury-related musculoskeletal conditions are common in this young, active population. Many of these involve physical damage caused by micro-trauma (overuse) in recreation, sports, training, and job performance. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the incidence of injury-related musculoskeletal conditions in the military services (2006) and describe a standardized format in which to categorize and report them. Methods: The subset of musculoskeletal diagnoses found to be injury-related in previous military investigations was identified. Musculoskeletal injuries among nondeployed, active duty service members in 2006 were identified from military medical surveillance data. A matrix was used to report and categorize these conditions by injury type and body region. Results: There were 743,547 injury-related musculoskeletal conditions in 2006 (outpatient and inpatient, combined), including primary and nonprimary diagnoses. In the matrix, 82% of injury-related musculoskeletal conditions were classified as inflammation/pain (overuse), followed by joint derangements (15%) and stress fractures (2%). The knee/lower leg (22%), lumbar spine (20%), and ankle/foot (13%) were leading body region categories. Conclusions: When assessing the magnitude of the injury problem in the military services, injury-related musculoskeletal conditions should be included. When these injuries are combined with acute traumatic injuries, there are almost 1.6 million injury-related medical encounters each year. The matrix provides a standardized format to categorize these injuries, make comparisons over time, and focus prevention efforts on leading injury types and/or body regions.

Without it, successful injury prevention could not be sustained. The purpose of this paper is to describe advances in military medical surveillance, compare the incidence of injuries with other illnesses, define the size and causes of the injury problem for the military, and make recommendations for improved surveillance and injury prevention. Methods: Medical and personnel data for nondeployed active duty personnel were obtained from the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center for 2000–2006. Rates of nonfatal injuries and injury-related musculoskeletal conditions, frequencies of injury types, and causes of injury hospitalizations are described. Results: Injuries were the leading cause of medical encounters among military personnel. The rate of hospitalization for injuries was approximately 1000 per 100,000 person-years and, for injuries treated in outpatient clinics, 999 per 1000 person-years. The leading injury type resulting in hospitalization was fractures (40%) and the leading injury type resulting in outpatient visits was sprains and strains (49%). Leading causes of hospitalization were falls/near falls (17.5%), motor vehicle mishaps (15.4%), and sports (13.1%). Conclusions: Injuries are the biggest health problem of the military services. Military medical surveillance data are useful for determining the magnitude and causes of the injury problem, identifying possible prevention targets, and monitoring of trends among military personnel.

T1 - A Process to Identify Military Injury Prevention Priorities Based on Injury Type and Limited Duty Days JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2010/01/02/Jan2010 Supplement VL - 38 M3 - Article SP - S19 EP - S33 SN - 07493797 AB - Background: Injuries, one of the leading public health problems in an otherwise healthy military population, affect operational readiness, increase healthcare costs, and result in disabilities and fatalities. This paper describes a systematic, data-driven, injury prevention–decision making process to rank potential injury prevention targets. Methods: Medical surveillance and safety report data on injuries for 2004 were reviewed. Nonfatal injury diagnoses (ICD-9-CM codes) obtained from the Defense Medical Surveillance System were ranked according to incident visit frequency and estimated limited duty days. Data on the top five injury types resulting in the greatest estimated limited duty days were matched with hospitalization and Service Safety Centers'' accident investigation data to identify leading causes. Experts scored and ranked the causes using predetermined criteria that considered the importance of the problem, preventability, feasibility, timeliness of intervention establishment/results, and ability to evaluate. Department of Defense (DoD) and Service-specific injury prevention priorities were identified. Results: Unintentional injuries lead all other medical conditions for number of medical encounters, individuals affected, and hospital bed days. The top ten injuries resulted in an estimated 25 million days of limited duty. Injury-related musculoskeletal conditions were a leading contributor to days of limited duty. Sports and physical training were the leading cause, followed by falls. Conclusions: A systematic approach to injury prevention–decision making supports the DoD''s goal of ensuring a healthy, fit force. The methodology described here advances this capability. Immediate follow-up efforts should employ both medical and safety data sets to identify and monitor injury prevention priorities.

T1 - A Systematic Process to Prioritize Prevention Activities: Sustaining Progress Toward the Reduction of Military Injuries JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2010/01/02/Jan2010 Supplement VL - 38 M3 - Article SP - S11 EP - S18 SN - 07493797 AB - Background: To sustain progress toward injury reduction and other health promotion goals, public health organizations need a systematic approach based on data and an evaluation of existing scientific evidence on prevention. This paper describes a process and criteria developed to systematically and objectively define prevention program and policy priorities. Methods: Military medical surveillance data were obtained and summarized, and a working group of epidemiology and injury experts was formed. After reviewing the available data, the working group used predefined criteria to score leading military unintentional injury causes on five main criteria that assessed factors contributing to program and policy success: (1) importance of the problem, (2) effectiveness of existing prevention strategies, (3) feasibility of establishing programs and policies, (4) timeliness of implementation and results, and (5) potential for evaluation. Injury problems were ranked by total median score. Results: Causes with the highest total median scores were physical training (34 points), military parachuting (32 points), privately-owned vehicle crashes (31 points), sports (29 points), falls (27 points), and military vehicle crashes (27 points). Conclusions: Using a data-driven, criteria-based process, three injury causes (physical training, military parachuting, and privately owned–vehicle crashes) with the greatest potential for successful program and policy implementation were identified. Such information is useful for public health practitioners and policymakers who must prioritize among health problems that are competing for limited resources. The process and criteria could be adapted to systematically assess and prioritize health issues affecting other communities.

T1 - An Evidence-Based Public Health Approach to Injury Priorities and Prevention: Recommendations for the U.S. Military JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2010/01/02/Jan2010 Supplement VL - 38 M3 - Article SP - S1 EP - S10 SN - 07493797 AB - Abstract: Injuries are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality confronting U.S. military forces in peacetime or combat operations. Not only are injuries the biggest health problem of the military services, they are also a complex problem. The leading causes of deaths are different from those that result in hospitalization, which are different from those that result in outpatient care. As a consequence, it is not possible to focus on just one level of injury severity if the impact of injuries on military personnel is to be reduced. To effectively reduce the impact of a problem as big and complex as injuries requires a systematic approach. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) review the steps of the public health process for injury prevention; (2) review literature on evaluation of the scientific quality and consistency of information needed to make decisions about prevention policies, programs, and interventions; and (3) summarize criteria for setting objective injury prevention priorities. The review of these topics will serve as a foundation for making recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of injury prevention efforts in the military and similarly large communities. This paper also serves as an introduction to the other articles in this supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that illustrate the recommended systematic approach.

Musings from the virtual world JO - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology & Ecology JF - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology & Ecology Y1 - 2009/12/02/Dec2009 Supplement VL - 381 M3 - Article SP - S188 EP - S203 SN - 00220981 AB - Abstract: Hypoxia is often associated with increasing nutrient loadings and has clear mortality effects on sessile organisms, but its population effects on mobile organisms in coastal environments are uncertain. The evidence for hypoxia having population level effects is laboratory experiments, many examples of localized effects in nature, a few population-level examples, fish kills, and intuition. Despite the perception by many people, none of these provide conclusive evidence of widespread population responses to hypoxia. We synthesize the results from seven ecological simulation models that examined how low dissolved oxygen (DO) affected fish at the individual, population, and community levels. These models represent a variety of species, simulate the dynamics at a range of temporal scales and spatial scales, and impose a variety of subsets of possible DO effects. Several patterns emerged from the accumulated results. First, predicted responses were large in simpler models, and small to large in more complex models. Second, while the main effects of increased hypoxia were generally small to moderate, there were instances of relatively large indirect effects and interaction effects. Indirect effects involved growth and mortality responses due to altered spatial distribution (rather than due directly to DO) and food web interactions. Interaction effects were larger responses to hypoxia when other factors were at certain levels (e.g., responses at low versus high fish densities). Interactions also occurred when the predicted responses were larger than would be expected by the sum of the separate effects. Third, accurate information on exposure and degree of avoidance of low DO were critical unknowns. Our interpretations should be viewed as suggestive rather than definitive. The patterns described were based on a collection of modeling results that were not designed to be compared to each other. A quick look at other models seems to confirm our patterns, or at minimum, does not contradict our patterns. Quantifying the effects of hypoxia on fish populations, whether large or small, is critical for effective management of coastal ecosystems and for cost-effective and efficient design of remediation actions. The potential for interaction and indirect effects complicates field study and management. Improving our predictions of the effects of hypoxia on fish populations and communities has moved from a computational issue to a biological issue. We seem to be making progress on monitoring and modeling movement behavior, but progress is slower in food web theory and empirical research and in quantifying interspecific interactions and habitat quality in terms of process rates that relate to population dynamics.

Botulinum toxin has been of concern to the US military and its allies as a biowarfare weapon since World War II and, in more recent times, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a potential bioterrorist threat to the public. The most effective means of defending against the toxin is by inducing a protective immune response through vaccination. Vaccination with an appropriate antigen will produce neutralizing antibodies that will bind to and clear toxin from the circulation before it can enter nerve cells and block neurotransmission. Immunity from botulism, however, has the disadvantage of precluding an individual from realizing the potential benefits of therapeutic botulinum toxin, if such a need were to arise. Botulinum toxin has been used in the treatment of numerous neuromuscular, autonomic, and sensory disorders since it was first approved for the management of strabismus and blepharospasm by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989. Notwithstanding the value of the neurotoxin as a therapeutic drug, vaccines have been and will continue to be an important line of defense for those who work with the toxin (at-risk workers) and a select population of the military, law enforcement, and first responders. The first vaccine used to protect against botulinum neurotoxin was a chemically detoxified extract from Clostridium botulinum. A Pentavalent botulinum toxoid (PBT) vaccine in service today is administered under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application held by the CDC. Recombinant subunit vaccines are in development and a bivalent Hc vaccine (rBV A/B (Pichia pastoris)) is presently being evaluated in a phase II clinical trial. This review focuses on botulism and the development of vaccines for its prevention.

Commonly made assumptions achieve the well known similarity solution for the Nusselt number, heat transfer coefficient, and film thickness. Yet in all of these studies, several critical assumptions are made without justifying their use. Consequently, for a given problem one cannot determine whether these restrictive assumptions are actually satisfied, and thus, how these conditions can be checked for validity of the results. This study provides a detailed solution that clarifies these points.

In each battlefield environment, real imagery was collected in both bands by a single sensor using the same optics for both bands, resulting in perfect co-registration of the imagery. In order to study the performance impact of the spectral content, and not diffraction or other sensor-specific differences, the images were processed as needed so that differences in resolution due to diffraction were mitigated. The results of perception experiments, including detection probabilities, search times, and false alarm data, were compared between the wavebands.

It is predicted that by choosing the direction of the in-plane bias magnetic field along the “hard” anisotropy axis of the STO “free” layer and the magnitude of this field to be four times larger than the anisotropy field () it would be possible to compensate the nonlinear phase noise and to achieve the minimum value of the generation linewidth, characteristic for an auto-oscillator without a nonlinear frequency shift.

JO - Journal of Biomechanical Engineering JF - Journal of Biomechanical Engineering Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 131 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4 EP - 4 SN - 01480731 AB - Insulation reduces heat exchange between a body and the environment. Glabrous (nonhairy) skin surfaces (palms of the hands, soles of the feet, face, and ears) constitute a small percentage of total body surface area but contain specialized vascular structures that facilitate heat loss. We have previously reported that cooling the glabrous skin surfaces is effective in alleviating heat stress and that the application of local subatmospheric pressure enhances the effect. In this paper, we compare the effects of cooling multiple glabrous skin surfaces with and without vacuum on thermal recovery in heavily insulated heat-stressed individuals. Esophageal temperatures (Tes) and heart rates were monitored throughout the trials. Water loss was determined from pre- and post-trial nude weights. Treadmill exercise (5.6 km/h, 9-16% slope, and 25-45 min duration) in a hot environment (41.5°C, 20-30% relative humidity) while wearing insulating pants and jackets was used to induce heat stress (Tes≥39°C). For postexercise recovery, the subjects donned additional insulation (a balaclava, winter gloves, and impermeable boot covers) and rested in the hot environment for 60 min. Postexercise cooling treatments included control (no cooling) or the application of a 10°C closed water circulating system to (a) the hand(s) with or without application of a local subatmospheric pressure, (b) the face, (c) the feet, or (d) multiple glabrous skin regions. Following exercise induction of heat stress in heavily insulated subjects, the rate of recovery of Tes was 0.4±0.2°C/h(n=12), but with application of cooling to one hand, the rate was 0.8±0.3°C/h(n=12), and with one hand cooling with subatmospheric pressure, the rate was 1.0±0.2°C/h(n=12). Cooling alone yielded two responses, one resembling that of cooling with subatmospheric pressure (n=8) and one resembling that of no cooling (n=4). The effect of treating multiple surfaces was additive (no cooling, ΔTes=-0.4±0.2°C; one hand, -0.9±0.3°C; face, -1.0±0.3°C; two hands, -1.3±0.1°C; two feet, -1.3±0.3°C; and face, feet, and hands, -1.6±0.2°C). Cooling treatments had a similar effect on water loss and final resting heart rate. In heat-stressed resting subjects, cooling the glabrous skin regions was effective in lowering Tes. Under this protocol, the application of local subatmospheric pressure did not significantly increase heat transfer per se but, presumably, increased the likelihood of an effect.

T1 - Effect of Oxygen-Absorbing Packaging on the Shelf Life of a Liquid-Based Component of Military Operational Rations. JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 74 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - E167 EP - E176 SN - 00221147 AB - Oxygen within the sealed package can reduce the quality of liquid-based food products with high oil content such as hot-filled meal-ready-to-eat (MRE) cheese spread, a component of military operational rations. The aim of this study was to test a novel oxygen absorber-containing laminate material and its ability to maintain and/or extend shelf life of a cheese-spread MRE item. An iron-based oxygen absorber (ABSO2RB®) activated by moisture was incorporated into the laminate and used to pack hot-filled cheese spread MREs. The kinetics of oxygen absorption due to humidity and temperature were characterized and peel tests performed to ensure pouch seal integrity. Accelerated shelf-life tests of ABSO2RB and regular MRE pouches without the O2-absorber were conducted for 3 mo at 51.7 °C (125 °F), and 6 mo at 37.8 °C (100 °F) by measuring oxygen concentration (Mocon O2-analyzer), microbiological, and physicochemical quality characteristics, including color, texture, moisture, free fatty acid (FFA), pH, water activity, and vitamins and A. Pouches stored at 26.7 °C (80 °F) for 12 mo served as calibrated controls. Consumer tests were conducted in-house and a confirmatory sensory test was conducted at Natick by a trained panel using a 9-point hedonic scale. ABSO2RB-laminates maintain the same seal integrity and strength as those of the control samples. The headspace oxygen concentrations in these pouches reached ( P < 0.05) < 0.5% in 11 d of storage at 26.7 °C (80 °F) and remained below this level throughout the storage period (1 y). No microbial growth (aerobic, coliforms, yeast, and molds) was detected ( P < 0.05) for both packages. Overall, the ABSO2RB-pouches indicate an improved reduction in oxygen and vitamin C retention compared with MRE controls and maintained product quality (physicochemical and organoleptic). ABSO2RB-laminates met the accelerated shelf-life requirement of 1 mo at 51.7 °C (125 °F), and 6 mo at 37.8 °C (100 °F). This study clearly shows the benefits of using active packaging technology on retaining nutrition and prolonging shelf life of high-fat, liquid content MRE items.

Functionalization of carbon nanotubes through surface modification has attracted significant interest recently. Covalent and non- covalent functionalization strategies involving reactions of organic or polymeric molecules onto carbon nanotubes have primarily focused on dispersion or dissolution properties. Several fullerene-based molecular systems with covalently linked porphyrins and metalloporphyrins have been synthesized. Noncovalent interaction of metalloporphyrins and freebase porphyrins with single-wall carbon nanotubes has been used for dispersion and also for separation of semiconducting and metallic tubes.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2009/03//Mar/Apr2009 VL - 46 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 501 EP - 501 SN - 00218669 AB - Although round parachutes have been used for airdrop for over 60 years, damage to canopy fabric and suspension lines still occurs during parachute opening due to the rapid canopy opening and the associated high opening force. Continuous disreefing of round parachutes to slow down the opening and decrease the peak opening force has been discussed in the literature, but no viable continuous disreefing method has ever been developed. In this paper, we present a practical, effective, and low-cost continuous disreefing method that does not use any external electrical or power source, only the opening force and the weight of the payload. The method was successfully demonstrated in a full-scale test from an aircraft using a 10.7-m (35-ft) diameter round parachute. The kinetic energy of the payload at parachute deployment of that test was 11 times higher than that of the standard deployment that the parachute is designed for. In spite of the severe deployment condition, no damage to the parachute was observed after ground impact.

Without the need to perform any aerodynamic computations, the coupled aeroelastic response problem is reduced to one involving only structural dynamics. The results, computed by RCAS and CAMRAD II, are compared against measured results and against each other for three representative test points. The results from the two codes mostly validate each other. Seven more test points, with responses computed by RCAS, to form thrust and airspeed sweeps are evaluated to better understand key issues. One such issue is an inability to consistently predict pushrod loads and torsion moments well, and this is found to be amplified at the two test points with the highest thrust coefficient. For these two test points, harmonic analysis reveals that the issue is due to excessive amounts of 5/rev response that stem from high levels of 5/rev pitching moment excitation. Another issue that concerns all test points is that the phase of the 1/rev blade flapping motion is not predicted well, which reflects the high sensitivity of this quantity that is developed due to having a first flap frequency of approximately 1/rev. Results also show that current force-velocity relationships, used in describing the lead-lag damper, are not satisfactory to consistently yield accurate inboard chordwise bending moment predictions. Overall, the investigation here, conducted with numerous test points, further confirms the methodology of prescribing measured airloads for assessing the structural dynamics capability of a computational tool.

Five different grid models are studied to quantify the effects of grid refinement on rotor-wake resolution. The fine grid model has a total of 113 million grid points and it improves airload predictions compared with the standard grid model for three HART II test cases: baseline, minimum noise, and minimum vibration. The rotorwake positions are well predicted by this fine grid model. The computed vorticity field for a young vortex using the fine grid model is compared with the measured particle image velocimetry data and the results are good. The fine grid model underpredicts the experimental value for the maximum vorticity by 61%. The predicted vortex core radius is 15% in chord for the fine grid while the measured data show about 5% chord length. The predicted swirl velocity is, however, higher than the measured data for this vortex. The results in this paper provide the first quantitative comparisons between the measured and computational fluid dynamics/computational structural dynamics computed flowfield for a helicopter rotor-wake system.

Until the 1900 s, the pas- sage of knowledge was through tradition. Since then, it has changed from observation and experience to the scientific method to clinical trials. A new approach, derived from other scientific disciplines, is that of pre- dicting results from modeling and simulation, which will allow for acceleration of the process of validation of discoveries and optimizing the implementation of clinical trials in order to more rapidly transfer trusted knowledge from generation to generation.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2008/02// VL - 82 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 46 EP - 46 SN - 0022538X AB - Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a highly pathogenic disease (40% case fatality rate) carried by rodents chronically infected with certain viruses within the genus Hantavirus of the family Bunyaviridae. The primary mode of transmission to humans is thought to be inhalation of excreta from infected rodents; however, ingestion of contaminated material and rodent bites are also possible modes of transmission. Person-to-person transmission of HPS caused by one species of hantavirus, Andes virus (ANDV), has been reported. Previously, we reported that ANDV injected intramuscularly causes a disease in Syrian hamsters that closely resembles HPS in humans. Here we tested whether ANDV was lethal in hamsters when it was administered by routes that more accurately model the most common routes of human infection, i.e., the subcutaneous, intranasal, and intragastric routes. We discovered that ANDV was lethal by all three routes. Remarkably, even at very low doses, ANDV was highly pathogenic when it was introduced by the mucosal routes (50% lethal dose [LD50], ~100 PFU). We performed passive transfer experiments to test the capacity of neutralizing antibodies to protect against lethal intranasal challenge. The neutralizing antibodies used in these experiments were produced in rabbits vaccinated by electroporation with a previously described ANDV M gene-based DNA vaccine, pWRG/AND-M. Hamsters that were administered immune serum on days -1 and +5 relative to challenge were protected against intranasal challenge (21 LD50). These findings demonstrate the utility of using the ANDV hamster model to study transmission across mucosal barriers and provide evidence that neutralizing antibodies produced by DNA vaccine technology can be used to protect against challenge by the respiratory route.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2007/09//Sep/Oct2007 VL - 44 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1683 EP - 1683 SN - 00218669 AB - In this work, the effect of wall interference on steady and oscillating airfoils in a subsonic wind tunnel is studied. A variety of approaches including linear theory, compressible inviscid and viscous computations, and experimental data are considered. Integral transform solutions of the linearized potential equations show an augmentation of the lift magnitude for steady flows when the wall is close to the airfoil surface. For oscillating airfoils, lift augmentation is accompanied by a significant change in the phase of the lift response. Idealized compressible Euler calculations are seen to corroborate the linear theory under conditions that are sufficiently away from acoustic resonance. Further, the theory compares well with compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes calculations and experimental measurements over a wide range of attached flows at subsonic Mach numbers. The present methodology can thus be used to predict wall interference effects and also to help extrapolate linear and nonlinear (dynamic stall) wind tunnel data to free-air conditions.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2007/09// VL - 81 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 27 SN - 0022538X AB - The Ebola virus (EBOV) genome encodes for several proteins that are necessary and sufficient for replication and transcription of the viral RNAs in vitro; NP, VP30, VP35, and L. VP30 acts in trans with an RNA secondary structure upstream of the first transcriptional start site to modulate transcription. Using a bioinformatics approach, we identified a region within the N terminus of VP30 with sequence features that typify intrinsically disordered regions and a putative RNA binding site. To experimentally assess the ability of VP30 to directly interact with the viral RNA, we purified recombinant EBOV VP30 to >90% homogeneity and assessed RNA binding by UV cross-linking and filter-binding assays. VP30 is a strongly acidophilic protein; RNA binding became stronger as pH was decreased. Zn2+, but not Mg2+, enhanced activity. Enhancement of transcription by VP30 requires a RNA stem-loop located within nucleotides 54 to 80 of the leader region. VP30 showed low binding affinity to the predicted stem-loop alone or to double-stranded RNA but showed a good binding affinity for the stem-loop when placed in the context of upstream and downstream sequences. To map the region responsible for interacting with RNA, we constructed, purified, and assayed a series of N-terminal deletion mutations of VP30 for RNA binding. The key amino acids supporting RNA binding activity map to residues 26 to 40, a region rich in arginine. Thus, we show for the first time the direct interaction of EBOV VP30 with RNA and the importance of the N-terminal region for binding RNA.

T1 - Dynein-Dependent Transport of the Hantaan Virus Nucleocapsid Protein to the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Golgi Intermediate Compartment. JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2007/08/15/ VL - 81 IS - 16 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 19 SN - 0022538X AB - In contrast to most negative-stranded RNA viruses, hantaviruses and other viruses in the family Bunyaviridae mature intracellularly, deriving the virion envelope from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi compartment. While it is generally accepted that Old World hantaviruses assemble and bud into the Golgi compartment, some studies with New World hantaviruses have raised the possibility of maturation at the plasma membrane as well. Overall, the steps leading to virion assembly remain largely undetermined for hantaviruses. Because hantaviruses do not have matrix proteins, the nucleocapsid protein (N) has been proposed to play a key role in assembly. Herein, we examine the intracellular trafficking and morphogenesis of the prototype Old World hantavirus, Hantaan virus (HTNV). Using confocal microscopy, we show that N colocalized with the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) in HTNV-infected Vero E6 cells, not with the ER, Golgi compartment, or early endosomes. Brefeldin A, which effectively disperses the ER, the ERGIC, and Golgi membranes, redistributed N with the ERGIC, implicating membrane association; however, subcellular fractionation experiments showed the majority of N in particulate fractions. Confocal microscopy revealed that N was juxtaposed to and distributed along microtubules and, over time, became surrounded by vimentin cages. To probe cytoskeletal association further, we probed trafficking of N in cells treated with nocodazole and cytochalasin D, which depolymerize microtubules and actin, respectively. We show that nocodazole, but not cytochalasin D, affected the distribution of N and reduced levels of intracellular viral RNA. These results suggested the involvement of microtubules in trafficking of N, whose movement could occur via molecular motors such as dynein. Overexpression of dynamitin, which is associated with dynein-mediated transport, creates a dominant-negative phenotype blocking transport on microtubules. Overexpression of dynamitin reduced N accumulation in the perinuclear region, which further supports microtubule components in N trafficking. The combined results of these experiments support targeting of N to the ERGIC prior to its movement to the Golgi compartment and the requirement of an intact ERGIC for viral replication and, thus, the possibility of virus factories in this region.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2007/07/15/ VL - 81 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 7 EP - 7 SN - 0022538X AB - Andes virus (ANDV) and Sin Nombre virus (SNV) are rodent-borne hantaviruses that cause a highly lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). There are no vaccines or specific drugs to prevent or treat HPS, and the pathogenesis is not understood. Syrian hamsters infected with ANDV, but not SNV, develop a highly lethal disease that closely resembles HPS in humans. Here, we performed a temporal pathogenesis study comparing ANDV and SNV infections in hamsters. SNV was nonpathogenic and viremia was not detected despite the fact that all animals were infected. ANDV was uniformly lethal with a mean time to death of 11 days. The first pathology detected was lymphocyte apoptosis starting on day 4. Animals were viremic and viral antigen was first observed in multiple organs by days 6 and 8, respectively. Levels of infectious virus in the blood increased 4 to 5 logs between days 6 and 8. Pulmonary edema was first detected ultrastructurally on day 6. Ultrastructural analysis of lung tissues revealed the presence of large inclusion bodies and substantial numbers of vacuoles within infected endothelial cells. Paraendothelial gaps were not observed, suggesting that fluid leakage was transcellular and directly attributable to infecting virus. Taken together, these data imply that HPS treatment strategies aimed at preventing virus replication and dissemination will have the greatest probability of success if administered before the viremic phase; however, because vascular leakage is associated with infected endothelial cells, a therapeutic strategy targeting viral replication might be effective even at later times (e.g., after disease onset).

Food components of different electrical conductivities heat at different rates. While equal electrical conductivities of all phases are desirable, real food products may behave differently. In the present study involving chicken chow mein consisting of a sauce and different solid components, celery, water chestnuts, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and chicken, it was observed that the sauce was more conductive than all solid components over the measured temperature range. To improve heating uniformity, a blanching method was developed to increase the ionic content of the solid components. By blanching different solid components in a highly conductive sauce at 100 °C for different lengths of time, it was possible to adjust their conductivity to that of the sauce. Chicken chow mein samples containing blanched particulates were compared with untreated samples with respect to ohmic heating uniformity at 60 Hz up to 140 °C. All components of the treated product containing blanched solids heated more uniformly than untreated product. In sensory tests, 3 different formulations of the blanched product showed good quality attributes and overall acceptability, demonstrating the practical feasibility of the blanching protocol.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2007/04/30/ VL - 21 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - A1421 EP - A1421 AB - Bone mineral density (BMD) is influenced by growth factors, such as growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). The in vivo bioassay for the measurement of GH (BGH) may be more physiologically relevant than in vitro immunoassays, as BGH is quantified on a biological outcome. We determined if BGH and members of the IGF-I system were associated with BMD in agematched (19 y) men (M; n = 41, 70 ± 3 kg, 163 ± 25 cm) and women (W; n =39, 66 ± 3 kg, 141 ± 15 cm). Blood was sampled for hormonal analyses (BGH, immunoreactive GH, IGF-I and associated binding proteins [BP]), and subjects had BMD measured by pDXA and pQCT. BGH was determined by injecting hypophysectomized, female Sprague-Dawley rats with a s.c. bolus of each subject's plasma in 4 daily injections. Subsequently, BGH concentrations were determined by extrapolation of the measured tibia epiphyseal growth plate width. M had greater calcaneal BMD when measured by pDXA (M: 1.27 ± 0.02; W: 1.14 ± 0.02 g/cm²; mean ± SE), but not at the tibia by pQCT (M: 777 ± 16; W: 799 ± 16 g/cm²). BGH was similar between M (16.5 ± 3 µg/L) and W (20.6 ± 3 µg/L) and was not associated with BMD. For W, but not M, the acid labile subunit (ALS) (r = 0.40) and IGFBP-3 (r = 0.42) significantly correlated with pDXA-assessed BMD; ALS (r = 0.47) with pQCT-assessed BMD. Although BGH was not associated with BMD, IGF-I associated binding proteins (IGFBP-3 and ALS) emerged as correlates of BMD in W only.

Changes in insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) response have been implicated in this phenomenon. Previously, our laboratory has shown a drastic increase in IGF-I mRNA 7 days following tourniquet (TK) induced damage in adult rats, a response not seen in elderly rats. This study investigated the short-term time course of IGF-I expression in adult (6 month-old) and elderly (24 month-old) mice following 1, 3, 5, and 7-day recovery from 2 hour TK induced ischemia/reperfusion injury. RT-PCR analysis reveals an increase in IGF-I expression in both TK groups. Levels peaked ∼20-fold 3 days post-injury in adult and ∼8-fold 5 days post-injury in elderly subjects. Adult expression decreased sharply at day 5 and rose by day 7, suggesting the differential, temporal-specific expression of the IGF-I Ea and Eb isoforms in injury repair described by Goldspink et al. The early IGF-I response seen in adult subjects was not present in elderly subjects.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2007/04/30/ VL - 21 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - A1139 EP - A1139 AB - High plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6 correlate with morbidity / mortality in heat stroke patients and animal models, yet IL-6 knockout mice show higher heat strain mortality than wildtype controls. These data suggest that high IL-6 levels may be a marker of heat injury, while basal levels are required for recovery. This study tested the hypothesis that IL-6 immunoreactivity correlates with liver, kidney and spleen damage in heat strained mice. C57BL/6J mice were exposed to ambient temperature (Ta) of 39.5±0.2°C until maximum core temperature (Tc,Max) of 42.7°C was reached (biotelemetry; ±0.1°C). At Tc,Max, mice were removed from the heat to recover at Ta of 25.0±2°C until hypothermia developed (29.4±0.4°C); then liver, kidney and spleen were collected for histopathology (H&E) and IL-6 staining (immunohistochemistry). Kidney and spleen of heat strained mice showed damage compared to nonheated controls, yet IL-6 staining was absent. Despite no damage, IL-6 staining was elevated in liver of heat strained mice compared to controls. Staining was confined to the centrolobular region, an area associated with acute-phase protein synthesis. These data suggest that IL-6 synthesis by the liver, kidney and spleen of heat-strained mice does not correlate to tissue damage, but IL-6 may be serving a protective function in the liver via its known role as a regulator of the acute phase response.

Hence, it was hypothesized that HCR would be more tolerant to global ischemia than LCR. To address this hypothesis, survival time to a severe controlled hemorrhage was measured. Male rats (generation 12) were catheterized and, ∼ 24 hours later, 55% of the calculated blood volume was removed during a 26 min period from conscious unrestrained animals. Rats were observed for 6 hr or until death. Contrary to our hypothesis, survival time in HCR (173 ± 55 min; n=8) did not differ (P = 0.24) from that in LCR (254 ± 52 min; n=8). Similarly, there were no differences between strains in blood pH, lactate, and base deficit values pre or post-hemorrhage. Since oxygen uptake and cardiac function are different in these rat strains, these results suggest that other mechanisms must play a more dominant role in determining survival time to hemorrhage.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2007/04/30/ VL - 21 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - A850 EP - A850 AB - It has been observed that ultraviolet (UV) and visible light induce vasodilation (i.e. photodilation) and increases local blood flow in skin. It is, however, not known whether the resulting vasodilation is a primary, NO-mediated effect, or a secondary effect of ultraviolet light phototoxicity. To address this question, we utilized the Pallid bat wing model at TAMU. The wing is thin and transparent, allowing for intravital microscopy without invasive procedures (leading to confounding effects of anesthesia and trauma). TAMU, however, has the only extant colony of bats dedicated to vascular research. To access unique animal and laboratory resources, we employed a novel use of Internet technology we refer to as 'e-Research', consisting of logging into a remote computer capable of manipulating positioning of an intravital microscope. To characterize an acute inflammatory response, we exposed the Pallid bat wing to brightfield and ultraviolet light and counted interactive leukocytes along the walls of post-capillary venules. We observed a measurable, but not significant, increase in leukocyte activity. In this study, we showed that light-induced vasodilation is not a consequence of an acute inflammatory response (i.e. tissue damage). Our unique approach allows us to explore basic microvascular function and acute inflammatory responses with well-established intravital microscopic methods.

JO - FASEB Journal JF - FASEB Journal Y1 - 2007/04/15/ VL - 21 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - A595 EP - A595 AB - The Internet is primarily used for information, commerce, and education. We implemented and investigated a novel approach to performing live animal research by utilizing the Internet to access remote research facilities. Over a period of several months, investigators at USMA accessed an intravital microscopy center at TAMU laboratory by connecting to a remote computer-driven microscope. The laboratory houses a unique resource -- the world's sole colony of bats dedicated to vascular research. Our experiences provide an initial evaluation of the challenges of e-Research. We identified three categories of challenges: 1) technical, e.g., Internet bandwidth and security, 2) training, e.g., distance vs. local training, complexity of computer software, 3) Communication, e.g., one-on-one vs. community, data acquisition, formal reporting. We found communication to be the primary obstacle to completing an experiment as planned. Of 16 experiments meant to evaluate the inflammatory response of the Pallid bat, three were conducted as written and planned. This is a higher failure rate vis-à-vis traditional research protocols. Potentially centralizing rare animal care facilities and trained technicians, as well as accessing a community of scientists with diverse expertise, however, e-Research may increase access to and effectiveness of rare life science resources.

The diagnosis of these diseases requires special procedures and expertise, both of which are provided by field microbiological laboratories. In order to support the diagnostic process by means of telemedicine, a modification of the standard German Armed Forces telemedicine workstation was devised. A telemicrobiology module with special equipment, camera, and software has been designed and validated. This module, currently in use in two operational military theaters, has stood the test in routine practice. It allows the transmission of high-quality static images of microscopic specimens or overgrown nutrient media in a matter of seconds. The inclusion of experts in diagnostic analysis through the use of telemedicine improves diagnostic specificity by avoiding false positive results and, particularly in medical parasitology, allows a treatment-essential diagnosis without the dispatch of specimens to Germany. The recently designed telemicrobiology module has been proven, and is now deployed, providing a higher level of field diagnostic support than previously possible.

The performance of parafoils (lift and drag) and round parachutes (drag) is closely related to their 3-D geometry. There have been some studies on the geometry of round parachutes, but hardly any on parafoils. The technology of 3-D whole body scanning provides a viable tool to investigate the 3-D geometry of parachutes. In this paper, we present an investigation on the 3-D geometry, surface area and volume of small-scale models of parafoil, round parachute, ring-slot parachute, and cross parachute using a 3-D laser scanning apparatus. Scan data from these model parachutes were obtained in a climatic chamber with a steady air velocity. Surface areas and volumes of these parachutes were calculated from the scan data using specially developed mathematical methods. In addition, cross sections of the parachute canopies were obtained from the scan images. These cross sections provide valuable information on the relationship between model parachutes and full-scale parachutes, fabric properties on canopy geometry, and parachute canopy design and manufacturing.

Yet it is very difficult to determine the size and structure of these particles in situ, such as monitoring the actual self-assembly process, because of their small size. In this paper, we present a methodology to predict the patterns of nanosized particles and agglomerates subjected to surface plasmon waves. For this characterization, the scattering patterns of different types of particles and agglomerates on or near the surface are needed. A combination of the T-matrix method, image theory, and a double interaction model are considered. The incident and scattered fields are expanded by employing spherical harmonic functions. The surface effects are incorporated using the Fresnel equations, in the incident-field expansion coefficients, and by including particle-surface interaction fields. The premise of the method is that the T-matrix is independent of incident and scattered fields and hence can be used effectively for cases involving incident surface waves. By obtaining the T-matrix for clusters or agglomerates of metallic particles, the scattering matrix elements (M11, M12, M33, and M34) of agglomerated structures on the surface are calculated using an additional T-matrix operation. The effect of size, shape, and orientation of gold nanosized particles on their scattering patterns are explored both in the visible spectrum and at resonance wavelengths. The results show that the normalized scattering matrix elements at certain observation angles and incident wavelengths provide significant information to monitor the structural change of gold nanosized particles on a gold substrate.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2006/10// VL - 80 IS - 19 M3 - Article SP - 4 EP - 4 SN - 0022538X AB - Marburg virus (MARV) has been associated with sporadic episodes of hemorrhagic fever, including a recent highly publicized outbreak in Angola that produced severe disease and significant mortality in infected patients. MARV is also considered to have potential as a biological weapon. Recently, we reported the development of a promising attenuated, replication-competent vaccine against MARV based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing the glycoprotein of the Musoke strain of MARV (VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke). We used this vaccine to demonstrate complete protection of cynomolgus monkeys against a homologous MARV challenge. While these results are highly encouraging, an effective vaccine would need to confer protection against all relevant strains of MARV. Here, we evaluated the protective efficacy of the VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke vaccine against two heterologous MARV strains, the seemingly more pathogenic Angola strain and the more distantly related Ravn strain. In this study, seven cynomolgus monkeys were vaccinated with the VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke vector. Three of these animals were challenged with the Angola strain, three with the Ravn strain, and a single animal with the Musoke strain of MARV. Two animals served as controls and were each injected with a nonspecific VSV vector; these controls were challenged with the Angola and Ravn strains, respectively. Both controls succumbed to challenge by day 8. However, none of the specifically vaccinated animals showed any evidence of illness either from the vaccination or from the MARV challenges and all of these animals survived. These data suggest that the VSVΔG/MARVGP-Musoke vaccine should be sufficient to protect against all known MARV strains.

T1 - Fingerprinting Gem Beryl Samples Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Portable X-ray Fluorescence (PXRF). JO - Gems & Gemology JF - Gems & Gemology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 42 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 126 EP - 126 SN - 0016626X AB - Minimally destructive chemical analysis of gem-quality minerals has many possible applications, including the fingerprinting of single stones, the identification and tracking of stolen or lost stones, and evaluating the provenance of gemstones. The ideal methods for gem analysis should be simple to use, reliable, and minimally destructive. The challenge, however, is that simple and minimally destructive techniques tend to yield results with poorer precision and accuracy than traditional, laboratory-based analytical techniques. As part of a larger study on the chemical fingerprints of beryls, the present authors have obtained data on beryls by four simple, rapid, and portable techniques: LIBS spectra in air, LIBS spectra in argon, PXRF spectra, and PXRF elemental concentrations. LIBS is exceptional in its ability to detect the presence of light elements (e.g., Li, B, Be, and Na), allowing for accurate determination of stoichiometric relationships. PXRF is complementary in that it detects heavy elements well, but in general cannot detect elements lighter than P. Six gem-quality uncut beryls (aquamarines from Pakistan, Mozambique, India, and China; heliodor from Brazil; morganite from Afghanistan) were analyzed by the four techniques with the goal of uniquely identifying individual specimens. Five LIBS spectra, containing peaks for most elements lighter than La, were collected from different locations on the same crystal face, each after a single cleaning shot. Three PXRF spectra were collected from each sample (15 mm diameter area); elemental concentrations (Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Ag, Ba, and Hg) were then calculated from the spectra by the PXRF software. The LIBS analyses left craters of approximately 100 µm in diameter on the surfaces of the crystals; PXRF analysis was nondestructive. The following calculations were made to evaluate the parameters by which each stone could be uniquely identified: (1) the ratio of regression of a single-shot LIBS spectrum, single PXRF spectrum, or PXRF concentrations to each of the other spectra or concentrations; and (2) the ratio of the regression of a single LIBS spectrum, single PXRF spectrum, or PXRF concentrations to the average spectrum or concentrations for that specimen. Identification success rates, as defined by the highest correlation coefficients of the linear regressions, are given in the table. These results will be verified and expanded in two ways: (1) using a larger and more diverse sample set, and (2) testing the double-pulse LIBS technique for this purpose.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2006/09// VL - 80 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 27 EP - 27 SN - 0022538X AB - Iridoviruses (IVs) are classified into five genera: Iridovirus and Chloriridovirus, whose members infect invertebrates, and Ranavirus, Lymphocystivirus, and Megalocytivirus, whose members infect vertebrates. Until now, Chloriridovirus was the only IV genus for which a representative and complete genomic sequence was not available. Here, we report the genome sequence and comparative analysis of a field isolate of Invertebrate iridescent virus type 3 (IIV-3), also known as mosquito iridescent virus, currently the sole member of the genus Chloriridovirus. Approximately 20% of the 190-kbp IIV-3 genome was repetitive DNA, with DNA repeats localized in 15 apparently noncoding regions. Of the 126 predicted IIV-3 genes, 27 had homologues in all currently sequenced IVs, suggesting a genetic core for the family Iridoviridae. Fifty-two IIV-3 genes, including those encoding DNA topoisomerase II, NAD-dependent DNA ligase, SF1 helicase, IAP, and BRO protein, are present in IIV-6 (Chilo iridescent virus, prototype species of the genus Iridovirus) but not in vertebrate IVs, likely reflecting distinct evolutionary histories for vertebrate and invertebrate IVs and potentially indicative of genes that function in aspects of virus-invertebrate host interactions. Thirty-three IIV-3 genes lack homologues in other IVs. Most of these encode proteins of unknown function but also encode IIV3-053L, a protein with similarity to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase subunit 7; IIV3-044L, a putative serine/threonine protein kinase; and IIV3-080R, a protein with similarity to poxvirus MutT-like proteins. The absence of genes present in other IVs, including IIV-6; the lack of obvious colinearity with any sequenced IV; the low levels of amino acid identity of predicted proteins to IV homologues; and phylogenetic analyses of conserved proteins indicate that IIV-3 is distantly related to other IV genera.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2006/07/15/ VL - 80 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 57 EP - 57 SN - 0022538X AB - Marburg virus (MARV) and Ebola virus (EBOV), members of the viral family Filoviridae, cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates. High viral burden is coincident with inadequate adaptive immune responses and robust inflammatory responses, and virus-mediated dysregulation of early host defenses has been proposed. Recently, a novel class of innate receptors called the triggering receptors expressed in myeloid cells (TREM) has been discovered and shown to play an important role in innate inflammatory responses and sepsis. Here, we report that MARV and EBOV activate TREM-1 on human neutrophils, resulting in DAP12 phosphorylation, TREM-1 shedding, mobilization of intracellular calcium, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, and phenotypic changes. A peptide specific to TREM-1 diminished the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha by filovirus-activated human neutrophils in vitro, and a soluble recombinant TREM-1 competitively inhibited the loss of cell surface TREM-1 that otherwise occurred on neutrophils exposed to filoviruses. These data imply direct activation of TREM-1 by filoviruses and also indicate that neutrophils may play a prominent role in the immune and inflammatory responses to filovirus infections.

The structural results were found to be in good agreement with experimental neutron diffraction data and previously reported calculations based on the isolated-molecule approximation. The vibrational inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectrum of polycrystalline RDX was measured and compared with simulated INS constructed from the solid-state calculations. The vibrational frequencies calculated from the solid-state methods had average deviations of 10 cm-1or less, whereas previously published frequencies based on an isolated-molecule approximation had deviations of 65 cm-1or less, illustrating the importance of including crystalline forces. On the basis of the calculations and analysis, it was possible to assign the normal modes and symmetries, which agree well with previous assignments. Four possible “doorway modes” were found in the energy range defined by the lattice modes, which were all found to contain fundamental contributions from rotation of the nitro groups.

JO - Journal of Food Science JF - Journal of Food Science Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 71 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - E52 EP - E61 SN - 00221147 AB - Different methods for improving texture profile and water retention of scrambled egg patties after high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) treatment were evaluated as part of a feasibility study for the development of shelf-stable egg products. Four formulations, a basic one, 2 with xanthan gum, 1 with cheese, were compared after HPHT treatment by analyzing texture profile and degree of syneresis. The effects of water addition of 0% to 15%, 3 levels of vacuum packaging, 4 preheating rates, and 2 HPHT conditions (700 MPa/105 °C/5 min and 700 MPa/121 °C/3 min) on texture and water retention of egg patties were also compared for selected formulations. Patties reformulated with xanthan gum and cheese resulted in at least a 30% reduction in hardness, cohesiveness, and water loss. Use of low vacuum packaging in less porous patties modified with xanthan gum maintained original texture values after 700 MPa/105 °C/5 min. Addition of water into the defrosted structure increased water holding capacity and maintained hardness within its standard value after pressurization at 105 °C and 121 °C. Most texture descriptors and syneresis did not change significantly with preheating rates after HPHT treatment. Tested mechanisms for texture and water retention improvement of HPHT treated patties can contribute to meeting quality requirements not fulfilled by conventional thermal processing for the development of shelf-stable scrambled egg products.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 31 EP - 31 SN - 07307268 AB - To provide basic toxicity data for formulating risk characterization benchmarks, the effects of tungsten on survival, growth, and reproduction were investigated in the earthworm Eisenia fetida. Parallel studies with lead as a reference toxicant also were conducted. Although sodium tungstate (Na2WO4) was less acutely toxic than lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) in 14-d spiked field soil acute toxicity assays (lethal concentrations for 50% of organisms: W, 6,250 mg/kg; Pb, 2,490 mg/kg), tungstate completely inhibited reproduction in 28- and 56-d assays at all tested tungsten concentrations (704 mg/kg). By comparison, cocoon production was not significantly reduced for lead concentrations until concentrations reached 766 mg/kg, and cocoon production was still observed at the highest concentration tested (1,650 mg/kg). These data indicate that tungsten is a reproductive toxicant for earthworms and that, by comparison, its sublethal toxicity is greater than that of lead. Toxicity data for other soil invertebrate species are required to fully establish benchmark levels/ecological soil screening levels for tungsten.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 25 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 29 EP - 29 SN - 07307268 AB - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is developing ecological soil screening levels (Eco-SSLs) for the ecological risk assessment of contaminants at Superfund sites. The Eco-SSLs for several soil contaminants have been developed from toxicity benchmarks for soil invertebrates in the existing literature. Insufficient information to generate Eco-SSLs for Sb, Ba, and Be necessitated toxicity testing to fill the data gaps. We used standardized toxicity tests with the earthworm Eisenia fetida, enchytraeid Enchytraeus crypticus, and collembolan Folsomia candida in the present study. These tests were selected on the basis of their ability to measure chemical toxicity to ecologically relevant test species during chronic assays and their inclusion of at least one reproduction component among the measurement endpoints. Tests were conducted in Sassafras Sandy Loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of metals. Weathering and aging procedures for metals in amended soil were incorporated into these studies to better reflect exposure conditions in the field. The relative toxicity of metals to the soil invertebrates tested was Be > Sb > Ba based on the median effective concentration values for reproduction. These studies produced toxicological data that can contribute to the development of Eco-SSLs for Sb, Ba, and Be for soil invertebrates.

JO - Journal of Virology JF - Journal of Virology Y1 - 2006/03// VL - 80 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 23 EP - 23 SN - 0022538X AB - All current human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine candidates contain multiple viral components and elicit antibodies that react positively in licensed HIV diagnostic tests, which contain similar viral products. Thus, vaccine trial participants could be falsely diagnosed as infected with HIV. Additionally, uninfected, seropositive vaccinees may encounter long-term social and economic harms. Moreover, this also interferes with early detection of true HIV infections during preventive HIV vaccine trials. An HIV-seropositive test result among uninfected vaccine trial participants is a major public health concern for volunteers who want to participate in future HIV vaccine trials. Based on the increased number of HIV vaccines being tested globally, it is essential to differentiate vaccine- from virus-induced antibodies. Using a whole-HIV-genome phage display library, we identified conserved sequences in Env-gp41 and Gag-p6 which are recognized soon after infection, do not contain protective epitopes, and are not part of most current HIV vaccines. We established a new HIV serodetection assay based on these peptides. To date, this assay, termed HIV-SELECTEST, demonstrates >99% specificity and sensitivity. Importantly, in testing of plasma samples from multiple HIV vaccine trials, uninfected trial participants scored negative, while all intercurrent infections were detected within 1 to 3 months of HIV infection. The new HIV-SELECTEST is a simple but robust diagnostic tool for easy implementation in HIV vaccine trials and blood banks worldwide.

This experiment offers an approach that is seldom used for monitoring the rate of a reaction. The solvolytic decomposition of benzenediazonium ion generates nitrogen gas, which creates bubbles in the reaction solution that alter the solution path length when using a spectral technique. Attempting to continuously free the solution of the bubbles as they form is a difficult task, particularly for undergraduate students. The use of a pH electrode to monitor the reaction offers a distinct advantage because bubbles do not interfere significantly with the signal from a pH electrode. This experiment is unique in that the solution pH, rather than a spectral signal, is used to track the extent of decomposition. This experiment allows students to gain experience in taking precise pH measurements, to use nonlinear analysis techniques for analyzing kinetic data, and to use the Arrhenius equation for determining the activation energy.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/11// VL - 24 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 18 SN - 07307268 AB - The lethal toxicity of the explosive compounds 14C-labeled 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and nonradiolabeled hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the estuarine amphipod Eohaustorius estuarius was investigated in 10-d spiked sediment exposures. The 10-d median lethal concentration (LC50) was determined using the sum molar initial concentration of TNT, aminodinitrotoluenes (ADNTs), and diaminonitrotoluenes (DANTs), as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and collectively referred to as HPLC-TNT*. Despite expectations of higher toxicity in sandy sediment (Yaquina Bay [YB], OR, USA) compared to relatively fine-grained sediment (San Diego Bay [SDB], CA, USA), LC50 values were similar: 159 and 125 µmol/kg, for YB and SDB sediments, respectively. When expressed as the sum of TNT and all its degradation products (14C-TNT*), LC50s were approximately two times the corresponding LC50s determined by HPLC. The HPLC-TNT* fraction likely corresponds to the most bioavailable and toxic transformation products. The concentrations of 14C-TNT* in tissues were substantially higher than those for HPLC-TNT*, suggesting that compounds other than TNT and its major aminated transformation products were prevalent. Critical body residues were similar for exposures to SDB (11.7 µmol/kg) and YB sediments (39.4 µmol/kg), despite marked differences in the nature of compounds available for uptake in the exposure media. The critical body residues for E. estuarius are lower than those reported for other aquatic invertebrates (83--172 µmol/kg). Unlike observations for TNT, RDX was only loosely associated with SDB sediment, with near complete recovery of the parent compound by chemical analysis. Exposure to RDX did not result in significant mortality even at the highest measured sediment concentration of 10,800 µmol/kg dry weight, nor tissue concentrations as high as 96 µmol/kg wet weight. The lack of RDX lethal effects in this study is consistent with results reported for other invertebrate species.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/10// VL - 24 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 13 SN - 07307268 AB - Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), a new polycyclic polynitramine, has the same functional nitramine groups (N-NO2) as the widely used energetic chemicals hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (royal demolition explosive [RDX]) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (high-melting explosive [HMX]). Potential impacts of CL-20 as an emerging contaminant must be assessed before its use. The effects of CL-20, RDX, or HMX on adult survival and juvenile production by potworms Enchytraeus albidus and Enchytraeus crypticus were studied in three soil types, including Sassafras sandy loam (1.2% organic matter [OM], 11% clay, pH 5.5), an agricultural soil (42% OM, 1% clay, pH 8.2), and a composite agricultural-forest soil (23% OM, 2% clay, pH 7.9) by using ISO method 16387 (International Standard Organization, Geneva, Switzerland). Results showed that CL-20 was toxic to E. crypticus with median lethal concentration values for adult survival ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 mg/kg dry mass (DM) when using the three tested soils. In addition, CL-20 adversely affected juvenile production by both species in all soils tested, with median effective concentration (EC50) values ranging from 0.08 to 0.62 mg/kg DM. Enchytraeus crypticus and E. albidus were similarly sensitive to CL-20 exposure in the composite agricultural-forest soil, which supported reproduction by both species and enabled comparisons. Correlation analysis showed weak or no relationship overall among the soil properties and reproduction toxicity endpoints. Neither RDX nor HMX affected (p > 0.05) adult survival of either species below 658 and 918 mg/kg DM, respectively, indicating that CL-20 is more toxic to enchytraeids than RDX or HMX. Examination of data shows that CL-20 should be considered as a potential reproductive toxicant to soil invertebrates, and that safeguards should be considered to minimize the potential for release of CL-20 into the environment.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/10// VL - 24 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 12 EP - 12 SN - 07307268 AB - Energetic materials are employed in a wide range of commercial and military activities and often are released into the environment. Scientifically based ecological soil-screening levels (Eco-SSLs) are needed to identify contaminant explosive levels in soil that present an acceptable ecological risk. Insufficient information for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) to generate Eco-SSLs for soil invertebrates necessitated toxicity testing. We adapted the standardized Enchytraeid Reproduction Test and selected Enchytraeus crypticus for these studies. Tests were conducted in Sassafras sandy loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of TNT. Weathering and aging procedures for TNT amended to test soil were incorporated into the study design to produce toxicity data that better reflect the soil exposure conditions in the field compared with toxicity in freshly amended soils. This included exposing hydrated TNT-amended soils in open glass containers in the greenhouse to alternating wetting and drying cycles. Definitive tests showed that toxicity for E. crypticus adult survival and juvenile production was increased significantly in weathered and aged soil treatments compared with toxicity in freshly amended soil based on 95% confidence intervals. The median effect concentration and 20% effective concentration for reproduction were 98 and 77 mg/kg, respectively, for TNT freshly amended into soil and 48 and 37 mg/kg, respectively, for weathered and aged TNT soil treatments. These findings of increased toxicity to E. crypticus in weathered and aged TNT soil treatments compared with exposures in freshly amended soils show that future investigations should include a weathering and aging component to generate toxicity data that provide more complete information on ecotoxicological effects of energetic contaminants in soil.

Toxic effects of RDX have been reported in terrestrial and aquatic receptors, but investigations regarding the bioaccumulation potential of RDX in aquatic systems are scarce. The objective of the present study was to describe the toxicokinetics of RDX during aqueous exposure for the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and aquatic oligochaetes (Lumbriculus variegatus) and to compare the amount of RDX accumulation in juvenile catfish following aqueous exposure only, dietary exposure only, and a combination of dietary and aqueous exposure. The toxicokinetics measurements included bioconcentration factors (BCFs), uptake rates, elimination rates, and biological half-lives. First-order, single-compartment models described the toxicokinetics for both species. Uptake of RDX into oligochaetes was relatively rapid (uptake clearance constant [ku] of 5.17 ml/g/h) compared to that in catfish (ku = 1.28 ml/g/h). However, elimination also was more rapid in oligochaetes, with biological half-lives of 0.28 and 1.09 h for oligochaetes and catfish, respectively. Thus, both species had very similar estimated BCFs of 2.1 ml/g for oligochaetes and 2.0 ml/g for catfish. Accumulation of RDX in fish that were fed oligochaetes exposed to an exceedingly high water concentration of RDX was minimal. The present investigation indicates that RDX uptake via the aqueous route is the expected dominant uptake pathway, with dietary uptake contributing minimally to the overall body burden in fish inhabiting RDX-contaminated sites. Because of the exceedingly low bioaccumulative potential and low reported toxicity of RDX, the presence of this explosive in aquatic systems is unlikely to pose unacceptable risks to invertebrates and fish.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/07// VL - 24 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 14 SN - 07307268 AB - Recent laboratory studies show that mixing activated carbon with contaminated sediment reduces the chemical and biological availability of hydrophobic organic contaminants. In this study, we test the effects of varying the activated carbon dose and particle size in reducing the aqueous availability of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the uptake of PCBs by two benthic organisms. We mixed PCB- and PAH-contaminated sediment from Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco Bay (CA, USA), for one month with activated carbon, at doses of 0.34, 1.7, and 3.4% dry mass basis. We found that increasing the carbon dose increased the effectiveness in reducing PCB bioaccumulation. In 56-d uptake tests with the benthic organisms Neanthes arenaceodentata and Leptocheirus plumulosus, PCB bioaccumulation was reduced by 93 and 90%, respectively, with 3.4% carbon. Increasing the dose also increased the effectiveness in reducing PCB and PAH aqueous concentrations and uptake by semipermeable membrane devices and quiescent flux of PCBs to overlying water. Decreasing activated carbon particle size increased treatment effectiveness in reducing PCB aqueous concentration, and larger-sized activated carbon (400-1,700 µm) was ineffective with a contact period of one month. We invoke a numerical model based on intraparticle diffusion in sediment and activated carbon particles to help interpret our experimental results. This model was useful in explaining the trends for the effect of activated carbon dose and particle size on PCB aqueous concentrations in well-mixed systems.

Novel thermal processes based on radio frequency (RF) energy can shorten the heating time and reduce overheating. This technology was explored to produce shelf-stable egg products for combat ration development. Clostridium sporogenes (PA 3679) spores were used as a surrogate to validate the RF sterilization process to control Clostridium botulinum. Decimal reduction time (D value) of PA3679 in scrambled eggs was determined using aluminum thermal-death-time (TDT) tubes. The thermal inactivation kinetic information was then used in inoculated pack studies to validate a novel thermal process based on 27.12 MHz radio frequency (RF) pilot scale unit. Trays of scrambled eggs inoculated with PA 3679 were subjected to 3 processing levels: target process (F0 about 5.3 min), under-target process (F0 about 3.0 min), and over-target process (F0 about 9.1 min). The results of the microbial challenge study showed that microbial destruction from the RF process agreed with sterilization values calculated from time-temperature data measured at the cold spot in the treated trays. A comparison of RF- and retort-treated scrambled eggs showed significant differences in the degree of lightness ( L*) and redness ( a*). RF-processed egg was less brown compared with conventional retorted eggs. Retort treatment of fully cooked scrambled eggs had higher hardness, springiness, and smaller cohesiveness than RF -treated samples. This study suggests that RF thermal processes can produce safe, shelf-stable sterilized scrambled eggs for both military and civilian uses.

The mean lethal concentrations to 50% of a sample population (LC50s), expressed as mg SO42-/L, in moderately hard reconstituted water (MHRW) were as follows: 512 mg/L for H. azteca, 2,050 mg/L for C. dubia, 2,078 mg/L for S. simile, and 14,134 mg/L for C. tentans. At constant sulfate (2,800 mg/L) and hardness (106 mg/L), survival of H. azteca was positively correlated with chloride concentration. Hardness also was found to ameliorate sodium sulfate toxicity to C. dubia and H. azteca, with LC50s for C. dubia increasing from 2,050 mg SO42-/L at hardness = 90 mg/L to 3,516 mg SO42-/L at hardness = 484 mg/L. Using a reformulated MHRW with a similar hardness but higher chloride concentration and different calcium to magnesium ratio than that in standard MHRW, the mean LC50 for H. azteca increased to 2,855 mg/L, and the LC50 for C. dubia increased to 2,526 mg/L. Acclimation of C. dubia to 500 and 1,000 mg SO42-/L for several generations nominally increased mean LC50 values compared with those cultured in standard MHRW.

These fluctuations can significantly affect sound propagation in a night-time boundary layer and infrasound propagation in the stratosphere. In this paper, 3-D spectra of temperature and wind velocity fluctuations due to IGW, recently derived in the literature for the limiting case of large wave numbers, are generalized to account for small wave numbers. The generalized 3-D spectra are then used for development of a theory of sound propagation through and scattering by IGW. First, the sound scattering cross-section due to IGW is calculated. It is shown that the dependence of this scattering cross-section on parameters of the problem (the scattering angle, sound frequency, etc.) is qualitatively different from that for the case of sound scattering by isotropic turbulence. Second, the mean sound field and the transverse coherence function of a plane sound wave propagating in the atmosphere with IGW are calculated and compared with those for sound propagating through isotropic turbulence.

JO - Environmental Chemistry Letters JF - Environmental Chemistry Letters Y1 - 2004/08// VL - 2 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 77 EP - 81 SN - 16103653 AB - U.S. laws require that contaminant bioaccumulation potential be evaluated before dredged material can be recycled. Simple fugacity models, e.g. organic contaminant aqueous partition coefficient ( K oc)-derived theoretical bioaccumulation potential, are commonly used to estimate the partitioning of hydrophobic organic contaminants between sediment organic matter and organism lipid. K oc-derived models, with or without the addition of a soot carbon term, did not accurately or consistently predict total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorobiphenyls partitioning of eight sediments from ongoing dredging operations onto C 18-coated filter paper. These models also failed to predict the partitioning of individual PAHs from these eight sediments. These data underscore the trade-offs between the ease of using simple models and the uncertainty of predicted partitioning values.

The mean production of natural sand infauna was estimated at between 215 and 249 kcal m2 yr−1, while that of the epifauna on the reef surfaces was between 3990 and 9555 kcal m2 yr−1. With the 36 m2 footprint of a reef unit as a basis for comparison, the 407 m2 of reef unit surface covering that footprint produced 1.62–3.89×106 kcal yr−1 of epifauna compared with 7.74–8.96×103 kcal yr−1 per footprint area for the adjacent sand infauna. There was, however, substantial annual variability in the productivity of the epifauna, based on the recruitment success of Mytilus edulis.

JO - ICES Journal of Marine Science / Journal du Conseil JF - ICES Journal of Marine Science / Journal du Conseil Y1 - 2002/01/02/ VL - 59 M3 - Article SP - S106 EP - S110 SN - 10543139 AB - An out-of-kind, off-site mitigation reef was constructed in 1989 to replace an oligohaline tidal marsh and subtidal mudflat of the upper Delaware Estuary that had been filled in 1985 to create the Wilmington Harbor South Dredged Material Disposal Area. Habitat loss consisted of 57.4 ha of subtidal, soft-bottom habitat. The mitigation reef (0.651 ha of surface area) consisted of 16 prefabricated concrete reef structures, arranged in four clusters of four units each, near Brown's Shoal in Delaware Bay. We estimated benthic secondary production of the two sites using published production: biomass ratios (P:B) as a tool for conducting comparisons of benthic epifaunal communities. Results indicate that the artificial reef provides enhanced benthic secondary production per unit area (2000–12 000 kcal yr−1) over the lost habitat (177 kcal yr−1), but that total production (3 and 77 million kcal yr−1) does not equal what has been lost (100 million kcal/yr). The construction of this reef, while not completely effective in its intended mitigation, provides a benchmark by which to design and judge future mitigation efforts.Copyright 2002 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.

The founding of the periodical coincided with notable accomplishments of the society, including the establishment of the Technical Committee on Software Engineering and the start of a series of conferences which became known as the International Conference on Software Engineering. These moves placed the society at the forefront of what has proven to be a critical technology area and have provided the visibility and focus for software engineering as a viable discipline. Since its establishment, the magazine has become one of the most highly valued journals dealing with software. In three decades, three editors-in-chief have provided the leadership in guiding the periodical to the status it enjoyed at present. With the periodical's tenth anniversary issue, it published articles that reflect where software technology has gone and what the future direction of software engineering will be.

Its main purpose was to address qualification and testability issues arising from the very high speed integrated circuit (VHSIC) programme.

It allows the user to reduce virtually any shape to its most basic "building blocks" or primitives. Included is a fully detailed materials data base of over 700 different materials. The program's user interface is the familiar pull-down menus with dialog and table areas. The program operates by the keyboard and does not use a mouse. Special entry keys allow the user to vary the type of units. MASS2 is very simple to learn and operate.

While Robo Systems Corp. hasn't totally remedied this problem with one product, the firm offers two PC packages that offer an answer: RoboCAD 4 Plus and RoboSOLID. RoboCAD 4 is an easy-to-use, window-driven 2-D CAD package. The complementary RoboSOLID is a 3-D solid modeling tool that can import a 2-D drawing from RoboCAD, transform it into 3-D, and perform solid shading operations. RoboSOLID features variable view angle, perspective viewing, wire frame modeling, hidden-line removal, and sections. The only drawback with the operation of RoboCAD is that you don't have the option of executing commands from the keyboard.
